I am quite taken by RPK's post When a bunch of losers talk in which he blasted "... The Malaysian Insider editorial ... for blaming everything wrong with the country on Dr Mahathir ‘and his ilk’."
RPK went on to regale us with an account of Malaysian political history and how most Malaysians had abetted the entrenchment of UMNO as the ruling party.
Note my underlining in above sentence, where the verb 'abet' means 'to encourage, support, or countenance by aid or approval, usually in wrongdoing', as in (examples) 'to abet a swindler (wakakaka) or to abet a crime (wakakaka again)'.
RPK lambasted those (I think not just TMI's editorial) who attributed all Malaysia's woes to Dr Mahathir with his excoriating words as follows:
Where were you 35 years ago? Where were you in 1978? Where were you in 1982? Where were you in 1986? Where were you in 1990? Where were you in 1995? Where were you in 1999? Where were you in 2004?
For seven general elections you sucked Dr Mahathir’s dick and licked Umno’s arse. Today, you write an editorial lambasting Dr Mahathir. I think you are 35 years too late. Why repeat what we have been trying to tell you over the last 35 years?
So, everything is Dr Mahathir’s fault, is it? And who kept Dr Mahathir in power for 22 years and Umno in power for 58 years since 1955? And where were you in 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990, 1995, 1999 and 2004 when we tried to tell you what you are telling us today?
No, whatever is happening in Malaysia is NOT Dr Mahathir’s fault. It is your fault. So live with it and stop bitching, moaning and complaining. You made your bed so now lie in it.
And you know what? Barisan Nasional is still going to win the next general election in 2018. And remember that I said that. Losers!

For seven general elections you sucked Dr Mahathir’s dick and licked Umno’s arse - WOW! and you know what - RPK has been right.
Now, this is not to say Dr Mahathir has not been the principal person considered as responsible, through his overt and covert policies and decisions, for bringing our nation and its terrible state of affairs to this lamentable point in our history.
But we (especially our parents and their peers) have been guilty of abetting Dr Mahathir and UMNO in charting a short sighted course for our national ship towards a warning lighthouse instead of away from the rocks of disaster.
I would not dare dream of speaking for anyone but as a Chinese Malaysian, I know most (though not all) of my ethnic community were more interested in their economic well-being than in politics a la the overseas Chinese doctrine of '3 bowls of rice'. In this, they were attracted to Mahathir and his government for their promise of economic stability (regardless of whether this was substantial or of a fleeting superficial level, for in politics, perception rules).
See my earlier post The Chinaman's REAL dilemma.
See my earlier post The Chinaman's REAL dilemma.
But then, what happened next was when a strong political leader like Mahathir left the seat of power (well, at least temporarily, wakakaka), his less charismatic successor AAB and even Najib have had trouble keeping an avaricious mob called UMNO from going feral in their unbridled lust for plunder. It sure as hell didn't help AAB when Mahathir kept undermining him.
Those modern brigands have a standard kit for quick ascendancy up the UMNO hierarchy of power (the higher one is up the hierarchy, the greater would be the 'rewards'), one of a show of extreme bigotry to establish their ethnic credentials as defender of the Malay race.
Match or mismatch the above post-Mahathir phenomenon in UMNO with a newer generation of Malaysians endowed with rich sources of independent and thus more reliable information, and ironically a stronger sense of citizenship, suddenly a new Konfrontasi emerges with a red line drawn in the sand.
Also, in response of the politicized posturing of bigotry by the brigands, the racially-inclined aggravations assume a higher public and publicized dimension, which in turn sucks in more non-compromising racist challenges and counter-challenges.
Even Mahathir himself saw fit to join in the racial stoush as he realizes that a new political dimension has settled in since his days of power as the undisputed 'King' when his words alone were enough to quieten the unruly mob.
I wonder whether it would have made any difference if strongman Mahathir was succeeded as planned by another (former) UMNO strongman Anwar Ibrahim? Wakakaka.
There is not much point arguing with RPK.....even if one were to give very credible and valid reasons,he will blindingly dismissed one off with a sweeping "excuses, excuses" retort...and yet he had the numb skull audacity to find innumerable excuses for himself....like he claimed how he himself was 180 degree different 30 years ago when he was a fanatic Muslim fundamentalist ( he was even in the Middle East then in full Arab garb complete with full beard and stache, shouting Allahuakbar and fanatically waving the flag ), how he was a drifter and then turned into a true-blue Umno guy, getting involved in the Malay Chamber Assoc, getting loans to the tune of millions of ringgit, and how he later wanted to be a member of PAS and later he was a full blown PKR supporter and now he is swinging back to...to...to...take your guess lah...
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese of our parents' generation as a whole had always been pro MCA......those decades ago, with no viable opposition coalition as an alternative option( remember they used to fear PAS who was then without the new batch of Erdogans, at one time even throwing TV sets into the rivers...they have come a long way since...), no internet, the only source of news and knowledge is the MSM, and no droves of a new generation of their children coming home from oversea education....all these factors must be taken into account before RPK could just sound off so arrogantly. Maybe he himself is giving massive blowjobs...first to Mathathir, then to Hadi Awang, then Anwar, and now he comes in full circle, back to Mahathir...he's the raja of blowjobs lah. For a man who's been photographed grovelingly kissing the hand of Mahathir and also that of Hadi Awang, he should be the last person to talk about blowjobs willy nilly.
His scorn and sneers includes his oft-repeated contempt for those who refused to reveal their identity when criticising the power-to-be, always alluding to his own bravery in daring to thumb his nose at the present power without being "cowardly" at hiding his true identity. Many have pointed out to him, alas to his deaf ears, that they don't have the luxury of having a Sultan as their cousin or a royal name to enable them to escape severe punishment for being critical. Would Teoh Beng Hock be pushed down from the 14th floor window if he is not Chinese belonging to the opposition and have the Sultan as his cousin?
DeleteCan't resist ending without mentioning Anwar, can you? That's alright by me but would probably make a previously-resident monster and his supporters ala Bruno cursing you in hokkien again. Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteThat monstrous persona non grata is without a shadow of doubt an Anwarista but definitely not Bruno !
DeleteMaybe we should just acknowledge KT's right to indulge in his own idiosyncrasy, in the same manner that RPK has his own in his rantings. Sigh...
DeleteAnwar Ibrahim is at the root of much wrong which continues to fester in Malaysia. And there is no evidence he has really changed.
DeleteHe's just maneuvering to get back into power.
Anwar is a deeply compromised fellow now. If he were to become the pm (which is hugely unlikely) he would do so with the indisputable knowledge that he owes it thru the tremendous support provided by the Nons. That is to say, he will be beholden to the Nons and will not dare ride roughshod over them like he used to do with overweening arrogance when he was somebody's blue-eyed boy once upon a time. It's just a thought, but Karma does sometimes seem to have its day. His swift fall from grace turned his pretty blue eyes into black, at least one of his eyes anyway, courtesy of The Devious Raging Racist Dictator! hehehe
DeleteAnon 9:12am,
DeleteMaybe, but ol' Bruno was a lappy for the monster wasn't he? Got sodded real good after that too. Hehehe.
hi tokio_rain, who wouldn't run a thousand miles the other way when that old foul-mouth rained sh*t almost non stop ? The moment that monster had the first inkling that Bruno is not 100% Anwarista, the knife comes slashing out, heheheh.
DeleteYou are being a touch subtle in responding to RPK's words of fire. It would not hurt to state in unequivocal terms that the advent of the internet and thus more independent media has made the populace much more informed than when we were only confined to Mohamad Rshmat's RTM and the various political party's rags
ReplyDeleteRPk's standard response to you : "excuses, excuses, excuses, you all are losers ". Anyone disagreeing with him are all losers and pathetic ball lickers.
DeleteFrom the picture that appears at the top of your commentary, you can see from Dr Mahathir's expression how smug, happy and contented he is to be associated with Perkasa, while he knows fully well what Perkasa stands for! Seeing how racial polarization is moving in an increasingly upward slope, people cannot be faulted for thinking whether any leader from UMNO can ever be truly a prime minister for ALL Malaysians.
ReplyDeleteLooking around the Internet there are many people putting the blame on vernacular schools as being the cause of Malaysians of various races not mixing with each other. At best this is a simple-minded (meaning actually stupid) claim that is not supported by any rigorous research/study whatsoever. At worst there is a sinister, hidden agenda behind it. At the very least, it is very clearly an overt demonstration of racism and racial discrimination on the part of those making this charge. Friendship and camaraderie among the races will not be achieved as long as one party assumes an attitude of Ketuanan superiority. Vernacular schools are just a red herring.
TDM didn't singlehandedly create all the faults " a whole team of idiots are required for a task like that" but he was largely responsible thru his sheer arrogant high handedness and at times complacency in allowing his wolves a feeding frenzy in his tenure helming the G'ment that brought us to where we are today..M Bakri Musa brief blog post " mahathir's continuing burden upon the nation" essentially summarize the baggage of mahathirism we still have to lug today .http://blogoptimizing.wordpress.com/2013/08/25/baggage-of-mahathirism/
ReplyDeleteRPK is a discredited racist conman cum extremist.
ReplyDeleteHahaha RPK resort to changing readers’ comments when heavily criticized !
ReplyDeleteWritten by 4RAKYAT
Haris, has your fren really stooped so slow as to changing readers’ comments??? What has become of him???
Look up his “Racism” article. My name’s there. Those comments aren’t mine. Mine hentam him for leading his readers into discussing everything along racial lines.
He thought he was being subtle but he is obviously serving his new boss umno’s agenda.
One of my comments were about 5 paras long but he created a bogus one liner to my name n published it thus. WTF??!!!
We hentam umno’s corruption n he twisted these into racist tones.
If u reread his articles since a few years back he had subtly put in these magic words….melayu cina india…. every other article invites his gullible readers into discussing along racial lines.
He boasted about how he whacked “malays” n “chinese” etc…everything is along these lines.
I told him that he had obviously crossed over to the other side ie umno’s side but I urge him to at least be terang2 about it. Ricky bru did it terang2. Kickdefella did it terang2. So is this fler trying to prove to his new boss umno that he’s better than the rest of them bcos he could poison his readers mind without them realising it?? But to me he’s not that subtle. Enemies like this is more dangerous than a thousand ibrahim alis or a hundred thousand zul noordins.
I dont hv the clout to fight him. You do.
Does marina encourages him to be so? Does his daughter aporoves if what this fler is doing??
Is umno’s reach so far n wide that this once high n mighty vermin too gets caught in their web of evil?
For what I wonder…. how many pieces of silver?
Or is it a case of guaranteeing his son’s continuing freedom. I mean his son us ady a free man. Has umno got this fler’s balls bcos umno still has incriminating evidence against his son??
If this is the case I’ll cut him some slack but pls ask him to come clean n announce to all n sundry that he’s joined rocky bru n Kickdefella. … it’s at least more honourable.
Maybe this fler thinks we’d abandoned him all those years ago when he had to run to England. And that all those so called supporters were just online supporters who didn’t lift so much as a finger to help ie money. All they did was to urge him on n deserted him eventually. …
My opinion is this. This fler shld know he’s in it for what . Had pr taken over putrajaya they’d somehow reward this fler n it’d be paydirt. He took a gamble n lost. And now he’s blaming us??? Is this fler serious? ??
U hv a direct line to him. U talk to him. Ask this fler to at least be worth the remaining legacy he created fir his former self.
I pity this fler. I pity marina. How do they sleep sound at night? They know they r destroying the lives if millions of malaysians n that the damage to the country n its people may very well be irreversible.
But if it’s really about their son’s freedom, like I said I’d cut him some slack.

Malaysia Today or I shall call Mahathir Today is not as popular as RPK painted it to be.Even a few porn sites is ahead of it in Alexa’s “top 500 sites in Malaysia”

RPK is so naive to think that when exposure on the government worked, exposure on the opposition is equally effective.
The more he make his so-called “exposure on opposition” the more I am resolved to vote for the opposition.Where is the logic! the state institutions have to be dependent on a fugitive blogger for evidences and intelligence not once but continuously to be effective.
I once criticized him in my comment sent to him,
“RPK is an egocentric and emotional old man………………..,………….plays of innocence is second to none.
It was not published, but to my surprise, another comment was attributed to me,
“The Chinese DAP idiot simply oppose without knowing anything.”
RPK looks really confused with the ideas of Independence and Democracy.He always thought that his views are independent, authoritative and righteous.When he is criticized over this ,he would screamed for his democratic right to an opinion.When others voice their opinions ,RPK would play the role of god—you are not objective ,your views is not right……………
From my observation ,really not many who believe in his writings.
What is more,he frequently engaged in war of words over race and religious issues with his readers.
The more he write ,the more mistakes ,lies ,contradictions and inconsistency are detected.His infamous “The journey in life is never a straight line” series is too real to be true especially when it touched on Anwar.
