AAB beset by man man lai bullsh*t in a hoefaitee world

See Malaysiakini article PM under new pressure to quit.

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, once Bao Gong now despised or at best, sneered at.

Anwar Ibrahim, once despised or at best feared, is now (to some) Bao Gong.

Ironically, the former has liberalized a lot of things under his PM-ship including the judiciary, but is seen as draconian.

Historically, the latter has put the draconian screws on* (or threatened to do so to) a lot of issues, but is now perceived as a political reformer.

* including Apcet II, the concept of Bangsa Malaysia with a Bahasa Malaysia, vernacular education particular Chinese, Islamization of schools to affect non-Malay/non-Muslim school children, supported iSA during Ops Lallang, the ringing of bells in Hindu temples, Cina balik Tiong Sun, etc

Under the former, the conduct of the general elections were such that the opposition could win 5 states and more than one-third of the seats in Parliament.

Before the latter has even assumed power (or hopes to), he has already openly boasted of subverting the ballot box, reverting to his 1994 Sabah modus operandi, to seize rule via his preferred avenue, the back door.

The former holds 140 seats in Parliament (inclusive of SAPP’s recent departure from the BN, which still translate into a majority of 58 seats) yet is dismissed by so-called intellectuals and the so-called reformasi party as the legitimate PM.

The latter heads a loose coalition of 82 MPs (where’s the proof he has more?), yet is seen as if he has been denied the rule of government.

The former has suspended an UMNO divisional leader for 3 years from party activities for bigotry, yet his action has not satisfied people.

The latter has not taken any action at all against one of his PKR MPs for bigotry and thuggish behavior in barging into the Bar Council forum despite promising to do so more than a month ago, yet is allowed to get away with (by virtue of his non action) his continuing acceptance of that MP’s bigotry and thuggish conduct.

Who says that world has been fair to AAB? And who says it has to be fair to him?

Oh? Did someone say “what about corruption?”

;-) remember 1998?

Now, why has AAB suffered such a seemingly unfair public image?

Let’s enumerate some of them:

(1) He heads a divided UMNO, where chief torturer Dr Mahathir has been the principal undermining influence and mind you, a humongous influence at that too. An ambitious Ku Li who sees his last opportunity for a stab at the post he thought was his eons ago, has been equally sabo-ish.

A house divided is of course a house screwed – as was proven in the recent general election, an election that reformasi politics tell us cannot be and will not be permitted to be over until Anwar Ibrahim becomes PM.

(2) He permitted the 4th Floor* too much influence, with their advice and decisions in some aspects also too un-Melayu and too un-UMNO – basically they made exactly the same mistake as the Anwar Ibrahim mob did in the period leading up to 1998 – you work it out what I mean.

* oh, incidentally, when we talk about the 4th Floor, you may want to know what I learnt, that while SIL has been one of them, he wasn’t and isn't exactly the head honcho in NO 4

(3) He and his advisors haven’t prepared well for changes like the global economy and oil prices which by themselves (economy and oil) could have been managed, but not so when so many other factors (mentioned) are pressing on him at the same time.

(4) He is an ‘old world’ Malay leader who has not taken easily to the new Age of Faiteelah, where everyone (including public servants) wants to be rich real quick (hoefaiteelah), and not just rich but really really stinking rich.

That has been why at some of the recent UMNO general assemblies, those members who see party and consequentially political positions as the chop-chop faiteelah avenue to wealth had behaved like renegade Hang Tuahs on steroids so as to enhance their candidature prospects. That hasn't endeared AAB at all to the non-UMNO public.

Even in opposition politics, Anwar Ibrahim wants to be hoefaitee (and definetely not man man lai) in becoming the PM, regardless of the fact that he has not (is unable to) shown he has majority support.

If you ask Anwar for proof that he indeed has sam sap yet (tiga puluh satu) he’ll probably tell you “don’t bugger me with facts! Besides the 31 prefer to remain anonymous.”

'Anonymous'? Perhaps until the next general election? wakakaka!

(5) Precisely because AAB is an ‘old world’ Malay leader he thinks he has all the time in the world to plot, but alas, today Machiavellian politics moves at the speed of the Internet, though mind you, it still stinks with the same foul cesspool odour.

But many blinded by hope, hate and hunger for change cannot detect that same cesspool odour emanating from the man who wants to be PM, because they have been seduced by the man man lai bullsh*t in a hoefaiteelah world.

(6) Etc etc – you work it out.

But when is Anwar Ibrahim going to take action against Zulkifli Noordin, PKR MP for Kulim?

When?

If he still refuses to take disciplinary action against the Kulim Wonder, then he must be deem to condone or accept such bigotry and thuggish behaviour. Therefore he isn't fit to be considered as the alternative PM!
