According to the dictionary, ‘ignominious’ means:
(a) Marked by shame or disgrace
(b) Deserving disgrace or shame; despicable
(c) Degrading; debasing
UMNO selected candidate Kamalanathan unbelievably supported the antics of ultra rightwing Perkasa, no doubt in a frantic bid to win Malay votes. Perhaps he might even be vaguely aware that UMNO strategists may actually want him to lose the by-election so that the ketuanan Melayu party can justify staking its claim for the constituency in the next election, so he plays a game to show he is more UMNO than MIC.
Every Malaysian knows that the abbreviated form of Kamalanathan is Nathan, so it’s little wonder that sweetie Helen Ang queried in her succinct article titled Why MIC Hulu S’gor candidate defends Perkasa at the website of Centre for Policy Initiatives, why is he known as Kamal but not Nathan?
Is he beginning to resemble in character another bloke who calls himself a Malay when ethnically and by name he isn’t?
Helen also remarked that
Obviously he’s playing to the Malay gallery in Hulu Selangor rather than campaigning to all voters.
And most sycophantic of all, he wants to win the by-election, not for the rakyat in the constituency, but as a present for his boss (no, not uncle Samy Vellu nor that person whose MIC career is now in trouble, Palanivel) but Najib Razak.
As a present?!! Just how frivolous and sycophantic can a candidate be?
In defending Perkasa (I still can't get over his ignominious insult to his ancestors) he has obviously forgotten (or pretended to forget) the cow head insult and the followng.
Helen reminded us that Najib Razak’s ‘erstwhile’ aide Nasir Safar … commented that the Indian forefathers come here as “beggars”. It elevates the Malays to put down the calibre of the ‘pendatang’. No surprise either that Perkasa should be the first to rally to Nasir’s defence and urge that he be given a chance to explain the context of his remarks.
Now, would we be able to conclude that

With people like
To Malays, he wants to be called Kamal
ReplyDeleteTo Indians, he he wants to be called Nathan
To Chinese, he wants to be called A(h) Lan
To Bais, he wants to be called Malathan Singh
To Jews, he wants to be called Nathaniel
To me, he is just a crook of the class of Pak Bohong
Kamal is a "GAY".
ReplyDeleteMalaysia Today mentioned this MIC candidate Kamalanathan being gay.

ReplyDeletePardon me. With a beautiful wife. No siree.
Or is it a typo error? You mean to say Anwar not Kamal?

ReplyDeleteThere are two issues here - (1) proof or evidence that he is gay or whatever he does (as in the case of his defending Perkasa, as evidenced by his own words), and (2), even if he is gay, I don't give a damn as this doesn't and shouldn't impact on his competency as a people's representative
I have friends and relatives who are gay - so what! An Australian pollie that I admire very much is Malaysian born Penny Wong who is a declared gay - she is a very very competent minister in the Rudd Government. Another Aussie gay that I also admire and respect very much is retired Judge Michael Kirby.
But I cringe at someone (who is not gay but) who defends people who have disparaged or threatened members of his own family and friends
If Kamal or Nathan is Gay, I am happy for him. (Gay - feeling of being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy")
ReplyDeletethis mic fler >>>>> mamak soon !?
ReplyDeleteMIC Kamal
ReplyDeletePlaying to the majority
He forgets his root
A sad case to his image
Yet he doesn't care
Winning counts......
Perkasa racist to the core
Kamal wants the votes
So he says
Twisting his ways
We are called
Beggars and whores
We have little kings
Living it up gleefully happy
Doesn't Kamal know?
Cow head parade....
Ah the 3Ps
Power Project Prosperity
Read about Hee Hit Foong
Now a Dato in Perak
Hulu Selangor voters
Don't get fooled
For Kamal has forgotten
Where he came from

Dont blame this poor fella. It's not him who gave the name Kamal, Nathan and Alan.
ReplyDeleteHe's just playing along as he says it "I am 1Malaysia."
He and Zaid are both pawns of Najib and Anwar respectively.
As for marginalising of Indians, the MIC did it and no one else.
Unless they shed their castes superiority, the Indians will further be side-lined.
Remember Ayoyosamy is of a higher caste. So it follows the nephew Kamalanathan is also too.
That Samy fella is only obsessed with Palanivel and no one else.
Look what he did to Subra, Pandian, now Mugilan.
He accede to Kamal after a gun was ponted at his head.
So who is at fault when Samy cant even unite the MIC people?
He should take a leaf from Umno which can close ranks after a bitter fight.
Another feather in the cap for Kamal. Dr Halili Rahmat has resigned and joined Umno.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely he has lots to tell to the HS people.
Yesterday several PKR members in Shah Alam have resigned.
More to come lor.
Zaid you are the wrong choice. You jinxed people.
Correction. It's Kamala, not Kamal n.b.: Kamalanathan). A Kamala with a cock? Well, in MIC, anything is possible! Did someone say that he's gay? I'm not surprised. Well Kamala, just like the boy named Sue, you should not be shy. The name Kamala may be a male name after all: it depends on how the final 'a' is pronounced. If it is long, it is female; if it is short, it is male. So you are a male Kamala with a short one! Anyway, you shouldn't be shy of your female name (if yours is long). It means 'lotus' in Sanskrit and is one of the names of the goddess Lakshmi. Well, UMNO might have chosen him because Kamal is also a Malay man's name... hey, wait a minute, even in Arabic, Kamal may be male, but Kamala is still female. Can't escape! Drats, even among Spanish names, Camilo is male and Camila is female. ¡No, no puedes escapar! ¡Lo siento! So let's take the MICkey out of Kamala by saying that he's a male MIC member with a female name! God knows, he may even win this election by revealing his true self (and true name)!
ReplyDeleteyou pakatan rakyat are the same as barisan nasional.both playing dirty! gays attack ,what's next?
ReplyDelete“DPM Muhy: Kamalanathan’s name reflects 1 M’sia ….Kamal is a Malay name…sounds like Chinese name Tan and Nathan is Indian name ….meaning leader…Kamal also means ‘perfect’ in Arab and ‘Nathan’
ReplyDelete….I’m not so sure….on a more serious note….” Star Sunday 18/04/10.
Actually, Kamal from ancient (at least 4,000 years) Sanskrit/Tamil means ‘lotus eyed’ and ‘Nathan’ a reference to the Hindu god, Vishnu. The Hindu god Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, is often referred to as Kamalakrishnan!!
‘Nathan’ could also mean ‘leader’ in Sanskrit/Tamil. Kamala on its own is a fairly common name among Indian ladies! And don’t forget Kamal, a M’sian Indian from Brickfields in KL is also one of Malaysia’s most successful and internationally renown pop singer star (Elephant Song) who lives in Oz.
Also, Nathan has an old (pre-Christian) Jewish origin meaning ‘giver’ or ‘gift from God!’ Many westerners too have this name.
I think DPM Muhy must be careful even in "jest", as he could soon have PERKOSONG and the syariah/fatwa council on his back for mixing up Hindu/Indian/Jewish names with that of Arabic/Muslim ones!!
Unless of course as a commenter posted in Din Merican's blog, he is Kamal bin Nathan!! Lol!

Rumour is abuzz that Nurul Izzah is leaving PKR.
ReplyDeleteIf it is true, it is a real shocker.
Buttercup says: "Rumour is abuzz that Nurul Izzah is leaving PKR."
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one! Have you heard the one about Anwar Ibrahim and Wan Azizah leaving PKR? Or Lim Guat Eng leaving DAP? Let them all leave their own parties! Turncoats! Frogs!
The only one not leaving his own party, it seems, is Najib -- he'd be arrested if he did: too many skeletons in his cupboard. ☺
Last time I heard, Obama was defecting to the Republicans
