Guess who is “the fellow who lacks decisiveness” in this no-holds-barred OutSyed The Box blog

Editor’s note: Almost no censorship is accorded to preserve the blogger’s writing style and to ensure unnecessary disruption to his flow of thought/message that he wishes to convey. Henceforth, readers are advised to absorb the following content with an open mind given there are revelations that can be explosive to certain segments.


DOES anyone recall that famous Port Dickson development blueprint? Hello to all the voters in Port Dickson – what can I say except “I told you so”. You were all conned. You voted for this fellow but you did not get anything. Did you even get a new bus stop?


Then the fellow abandoned Port Dickson and went to stand for elections in Perak. Now some of the people who voted for him in Perak are being chased out of their lands which they have been farming for 70 years.

What can I say again except “I told you so”. You were all conned. You voted for him but you did not get anything.

And we are now hearing statements like these (by Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim a.k.a. TMJ below) almost every day. (Editor’s Note: The views are such that this fellow lacks decisiveness; has to execute more and make more decisions; doesn’t have a good team; should be braver in making decisions and has announced numerous development blueprints but whether they could be followed through.)

And such statements are even being made by former stalwarts and the staunchest allies of the fellow. A friend of mine (who I believe was a supporter and had some high hopes for the fellow) now says that he may soon become the “XPMX”.

But just to address what the TMJ said, my view is the fellow is not entirely indecisive. He does make decisions.

But he lacks that most essential and cherished of all essentials – common sense, knowledge and intelligence. (I have been saying this for the past 30 years). Lacking all three, his decisions are all idiotic and cantankerous. And 34 million people have to bear the burden of Mr Bungles.

But nothing seems to stop him. He just bulldozes through. Because he likes nothing better than cheap publicity. It is nothing more than “Me, myself and I”. Some use the word narcissistic. Others say mythomania. It’s all just an act. The world is just a stage.

There is something else – he loves the sound of his voice talking. Or singing.

Perhaps Malaysians should be reminded that on Nov 19, 2022 the majority of the people did not vote for him. His party lost many, many seats and they became a minority party.

Malaysians should be reminded that soon after that 15th General Elections (GE15), Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin announced to the whole country that he already had signed affidavits from a majority of the MPs supporting him to form the government.

However, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) in his infinite wisdom, chose to invite this fellow instead to form the government. And here we are today.

And without a doubt, the TMJ’s comments above do reflect on the choices and the decisions that were made between Nov 19 and Nov 22 last year. Decisions which now have to be borne by a country of 34 million people.

Happy Halloween. – Oct 30, 2023
