Pruning time for DAP

Malay Mail Online - PAS may not join new Pakatan, be ‘loose partner’ instead

... so we have been informed by un-named sources, wakakaka, who happened to be "an influential PKR source" wakakaka again.

Bloke or blokess (but my bet is bloke, wakakaka) said: “We know PAS is not going to accept or join the new PR. They would rather have [a] loose coalition, become a loose partner."

“I think the majority view right now (between the opposition parties) is that a new Pakatan be formed between PKR, DAP and Amanah and this new coalition form a loose electoral pact with PAS.”

What utter self-serving bullshit, indeed on several counts! And the so-called "influential PKR source" chose to be sinisterly un-named and unidentified! Apa takut?

Three years ago, I posted Psychedelic psychic power? in which I mentioned how such (probably the same) "influential PKR bloke" gave poor FMT journalist Selena Tay the usual duff gen (an old RAF colloquialism meaning incorrect information or if you like, bullshit, wakakaka).

I won't go over the issues I raised in that post so you'll have to read it to know how an un-named but "influential PKR sources" (wakakaka) had come up with bull.

The idea of a nonsensical 'loose coalition', where one party has an acrimonious relationship with another and indeed vice versa, is just rubbish and nothing more than to mask the usual desperate taxi-sapu-ish tactic of running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. And I'm sure you know which political party is notorious for its taxi sapu desperation, wakakaka.

At least PAS has the decency to announce that it'll work ONLY with PKR but not with the soon-to-be formed Pakatan 2.0.

If I have my rathers, I would propose that DAP work only with Amanah and discard PKR a.s.a.p. Prune off that near dead branch and save itself from future problems with such a 916-ish rancid satay which had brought Pakatan into damnable drastic disrepute. And don't forget how PKR had behaved badly towards its erstwhile Pakatan allies in the last Sarawak state elections.

Red and Yellow Sh**ts

Malays ... Chinese ... Malays ... Chinese ... Malays ... Chinese ...

Chinese ... Malays ... Chinese ... Malays ... Chinese ... Malays ...

poor Meenachee feels a wee left out on a limb

Malay lembu ... Chinese babi ... Malay kerbau ... Chinese swine ... Malay (multi-role*) camel ... Chinese hog ...

* for riding, eating and f* on its back

WTF! You rotten racists, all of you Chinese and Malay yellow and red shirts. Have you forgotten that in Malaysian there are also Indians (bloody Hindraf sleeping? wakakaka), Aborigines, Ibans, Kadazans, Bidayuhs, Thais, Eurasians ... etc?

Please be mindful of the fact that Malays and Chinese only constitute 75% of Malaysian population. There are another 25% or 7.5 million Malaysian still to be accounted for.

Red ... Yellow ... Red ... Yellow ... Red ... Yellow ...

And hasn't it been ironical that the supposedly alleged commie-minded so-called Chinese-dominated Bersih donned the colour honouring Malay royalty whilst the other side comprising Perkasa, Perkida and whatever other Per... , so-called Malay warriors defending Malay-dom, had donned the colour of world socialism and communism? Wakakaka.

we love these type or Red Shirts, wakakaka
aiyoyo, my fantasy has gone into overdrive liao lah

Aiyoyo, karn-neen-nair lay, fuyoh, what a f* strange world Malaysia is today.

But it's true that most Chinese (except the truly pious Chinese Muslims, especially those descended from 1000-year old Chinese family of Muslims like the Ma's) eat pork and even name some of their cuddly looking babies as 'too' (babi), but that word 'too' or even 'babi' is only not racist when used within and among the Chinese community.

Malays being Muslims don't eat pork as pigs are considered to be unclean creatures in Islamic belief. Thus when a Malay Muslim called a Chinese or Indian or anyone a 'babi', that Malay is deliberately abusing the 'babi' person as an unclean being, which makes that name-calling derogatory, abusive and thus racist, apart from it being childish and shameful to Malay dignity, thus with its end result being a shot in the Malay's own foot.

If there has been any threat to Malay dignity or Malay royalty, it had been perpetuated by those Malay Red Shit Shirts who insulted their rulers by donning the colour of world socialism-communism and acting in an immature manner shameful to traditional Malay courtesy and adat of bersopan santun, and thus their dignity.

It then could be said that the Yellow Shit Shirts had honoured our rulers, wakakaka.

Smoke gets in Indon's eyes

Channel NewsAsia - Nearly 1,000 hotspots detected in Sumatra as haze thickens

Indonesia has got it f* wrong in highlighting that Malaysian (and Singapore) companies are among those responsible for bush burning activities involved in clearing wooded areas in Sumatra and Kalimantan for plantation development, thus being also responsible for the horrid toxic smoke haze affecting Malaysia, Singapore and most of SE Asia.

Indeed, it doesn't f* matter whether the companies are from Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Swaziland or Iceland. The forest fires causing humongous volumes of poisonous carcinogenic smoke and pollution to drift north to most of SE Asia (where Malaysian schools have been forced to close two days ago) are in, would you believe, the nation of Indonesia.

And who is f* responsible for stuff in Indonesia?

Indon then has either the unfounded and silly unhelpful pride to refuse Sing's offer to send aircraft to help put out the fires - see The Strait Times' Jakarta declines help to fight fires, leading to us to suspect rather unkindly, whether she prefers to continue her chief export to Malaysia and Singapore - no thank you.

A message to Indon: Take f* action or allow us to send resources to help dowse those pollutant producing forest fires in your country. You must do something to stop poisoning your neighbours.

Memegang teguhlah kepada Sila Kedua Indonesia, yaitu, "Kemanusiaan Yang Adil dan Beradab".

Black Magic on Malaysia Day?

So ... Malaysia Day ended up being part of a poker game of upping the ante.

The Red Shirts wanted to demonstrate they could match or perhaps even better Bersih 4.0, the latter seen or deliberately projected to their participants as a DAP-Chinese rally against a Malay PM.

The Malay Mail Online reported:

62-year-old Che Hassan from Pasir Puteh, Kelantan [stated]: “We’re not exactly angry at the Chinese. But we’re so angry at the DAP. They are insulting our Malay-Muslim leaders.

“They are messing around with the rights of the Malays, like what they did in Bersih 4. They insulted our leaders there, but here, we have done nothing. We didn't stir up any issues like they did.”

Once emotions have been aroused, facts, logic and reasoning went out of the window. That Bersih 4.0 had at least 20% Malay participants became unnoticed or ignored, which if tallied should worked out, in accordance with the figures given in my post 400,000 missing to be at least 20,000 Malays over two days.

And as an example of how emotions have clouded the perceptions of the Malay participants in the ethnic-centric Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu, the report by the Malay Mail Online published:

Although organisers of the Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu rally previously said the event was not meant to be racially-tinged, some participants openly admitted their objectives were to fight for the rights they claimed were trampled on by the “big-headed” Chinese.

One attendee, Muhamad Ridzuan Sulaiman, said the Malays now play too small a role in the economy, which he alleged is Chinese-controlled.

“For instance, if I wanted to open a shop next to a Chinese owned shop, they would use black magic to curse my shop,” he told Malay Mail Online as rally participants began packing up to leave Padang Merbok this evening.

The 21-year-old said although he believed the rally was not expressly anti-Chinese, it was organised due to Malay frustration over certain actions by the country’s ethnic minorities.

“The other races are just waiting for the Malays to fall,” lamented the youth who expressed interest in joining Malay nationalist party Umno.

Malays used to accuse the Chinese of being too bloody materialistic, but now they would even suspect their disliked opposite racial group of resorting to black magic (hitherto a Malay domain) to obstruct Malay progression. Preposterous as this might sound, it tells us in no uncertain terms that the ethnic divide is now far wider than it had been.

Recall the circumstances leading to Ops Lalang, that for every yin there is inevitably a yang. When the Tao had been much disturbed into a swirling disturbing disharmony by the upping of the ante in a poker game where the two players refuse to concede their hands, we should expect trouble. It's fortuitous we didn't re-witness May 13 MK II.

swirling but how will it end up?

And there's no point arguing which rally had been more noble, because in Malaysia our perception is all but a bundle of incoherent emotions and (as mentioned above) totally without fact, logic or reasoning being involved.

Yes, you may consider my statement in above paragraph as both white & black magic if you like, wakakaka.

balanced and in harmony
as we would like it

Happy Malaysia Day.

Foreign lesson (1) - cool clear-cut democracy from Oz

Today Malcolm Turnbull became the 29th PM of Australia, replacing Tony Abbot in a Liberal Party spill of leaders (voting for party leadership).

an ardent republican

if he remains as PM after the coming general elections, it's likely the Australian Republican Movement may be more confident of a fairer plebiscite or even referendum to become a republic, unlike what it went through during the Howard years

In this, Australia shows Malaysia how a PM can be changed by the ruling party even within a coalition* between general elections.

* Note: Australia ruling coalition is made up of the Liberal Party and National Party

Yesterday in a party spill, Tony Abbot could only secure 44 of his party leadership votes while Malcolm Turnbull won 54 to become the new party leader and consequently the nation's new PM. He has already been sworn in today by the Australian Governor-General (Queen's representative in Australia) as the 29th PM.

like his hero John Howard, an ardent monarchist
Abbot even introduced the British royal awards system of knighthoods, flabbergasting the Australian nation

There was no (god forbid) coopting of the opposition Labor Party members to participate in a moronic Malaysian model of a two-party no confidence vote against PM Abbot in parliament.

The change of PM did NOT require a majority vote in parliament, but only in the ruling party or biggest party within the ruling coalition. The ruling coalition continues to rule regardless of which of its leaders became PM.

That's how democracy works.

And in another lesson for Malaysia or a former Malaysian PM, this time by Tony Abbot who said in his final address as the outgoing PM:

"This is not an easy day for many people in this building. Leadership changes are never easy for our country."

"My pledge today is to make this change as easy as I can."

"There will be no wrecking, no undermining, and no sniping. I've never leaked or backgrounded against anyone. And I certainly won't start now."

Amin!

PAS-DAP on-off on-off on-off relationship?

TMI reported:

PAS today said that it had reached a consensus with PKR that the two parties along with DAP and Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) would work together as part of an opposition bloc.

What's going on?

Is PKR authorised to speak on behalf of DAP? Or is it as usual exercising its belief again as Tai-Koe (Abang) and could say anything it likes about DAP without consulting its (supposed) ally?

I remember reading just a couple of days ago that Lim Guan Eng mentioned rather emphatically DAP won't work together with PAS ..... unless PKR has successfully persuaded it to kiss and make up with the Islamic party.

Nurul Izzah's sweet "nothing"

Five days ago in a previous post "Chastise with the valour of my tongue ..." I pondered whether we Malaysians could be politically affected by a weird sickness, perhaps stemming from a combination of the unearthing of unknown mind-affecting viruses during the 2004 tsunami and an unhealthy diet of, among other things, kangkong, rancid satay, baked coconut puffs and bah kut teh, wakakaka.

I was attempting to trace the cause of the strange political malady which saw many of our leaders 'in bed' or attempting to jump into bed with their erstwhile invincible foes, blokes like Lim KS and Mahathir, and Mahathir seemingly supporting a protest rally, Bersih, so on so forth.

I could have even started that previous post with a startling scary statement like "Strange things are happening in Malaysia".

But I didn't. Instead I talked about Anwar Ibrahim's insistence that PAS continues to be in Pakatan, the new one, despite the Islamic Party having gone separate ways with its new and current foe, DAP, and vice versa.

We know the real reason is that PKR fears meeting both PAS and UMNO in a 3-cornered fight in Malay-majority constituencies, thus Anwar and indeed Azmin have both insisted and persisted on declaring PAS as a continuing Pakatan coalition member.

[Of course by now we know Pak Haji Hadi Awang saw through PKR's clumsy chowkana chumminess and has virtually told them off, describing it as only wanting to win elections but not about promoting Islam  see Malaysiakini's Hadi: PAS will not join new opposition pact]

DAP of course has also insisted and persisted on the contrary, but from Azmin's statements, it would appear that PKR values partnership with PAS more because he (as mentioned) fears PAS contesting against PKR in GE-14 and the new state elections in Selangor and somehow believes easily-fooled DAP won't as the socialist-democratic party can be manmanlai kowtim-ed.

Mind, Azmin might not be wrong there if left to the headless chook or the screaming one, wakakaka, though Ramkarpal Singh has now thrown a damper on his belief by drawing a line in the sand, urging PKR to make up its mind whether it wants PAS or DAP to be its partner in the new coalition?

Then, aiyoyo, came along sweetie Nurul Izzah, thus indicating to me that it's not just Lim KS who has been afflicted by combination of the unearthing of unknown mind-affecting viruses during the 2004 tsunami and an unhealthy diet of, among other things, kangkong, rancid satay, baked coconut puffs and ..... (the last item not applicable to Nurul), wakakaka.

I'm leaving Mahathir out from being affected by the weird malady, because I know that, notwithstanding his 'guest appearances' in Bersih 4.0, those theatrics of his were not about the objectives of Bersih (admittedly today somewhat of a deviant nature from its principal objective of campaigning for a clean, free and just elections) but more to depose PM Najib Razak for his OWN agenda.

Please read also TMI's Dr Mahathir hanya mahu tumpang populariti Bersih 4, kata NGO Melayu in which the NGO Gabungan Melayu Malaysia accused Mahathir, "Dia datang untuk ambil kesempatan populariti haram untuk tunjukkan ketidakpuasan hatinya kepada Najib."

Sweetie Nurul tried her best to justify PKR's insistence on PAS being in Pakatan 2.0, perhaps more of a plaintive cry to DAP to 'understand' her party's stand, stating (via TMI) PKR accepts PAS because of reform agenda.

And what were those reforms she saw in PAS' political agenda?

TMI reported: Party vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar said there was a need to have a more inclusive outlook when it comes to fighting against Barisan Nasional and Umno.

She said that such has always been the party's stance and it was never about party president Datuk Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail or deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali's personal positions on the issue.

She added that the agenda of reform also covers the possibility of working with former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, with the aim to press Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to step down.

"If we were to take into consideration personal anger and bitterness, certainly it's going to be difficult to manage the different challenges because at the end of the day, for me, it is important to exercise the maximum degree of inclusiveness so long as everyone is committed to the agenda of reform.

"We also have to think about the need to unite any force, including Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who came to Bersih 4 rally twice."

Let me summarize for you her claims of PAS' reform agenda:

• Pakatan needs to have an inclusive outlook
• welcome any political partner that believes in agenda of reform, which according to her, PAS has
• including possibility of working with her dad's nemesis, Mahathir who twice attended Bersih 4.0
• with aim to force Najib to step down
• don't be bogged down by anger and bitterness (presumably directed at DAP)

The first three dot-points have been about embracing both PAS and Mahathir, based on their reform agenda (presumably Mahathir also has one since he attended Bersih 4.0).

The 4th dot-point is the aim, namely, to depose Najib.

The last (5th) dot-point is an appeal to DAP to kiss and make up with PAS. 

BUT ...

...yes a BIG BIG BUT, what is PAS' reform agenda?

It's clear Nurul has her dad's genes because she claimed PAS has a reform agenda but didn't tell us what that agenda is. Does she expect us to just believe her? This is pure grade 101% manmanlai. Nor has she informed us what's Mahathir's reform agenda?

If the common objective is to depose Najib, just say so instead of bullshitting about PAS' non-existent reform agenda.

But then, on second thoughts, perhaps I shouldn't be too harsh on her for using that word 'reform', as we know PKR has been brandishing that word for the last 15 years without meaning it.

Indeed, how could PKR claim to be a reformist party when it promoted seizing federal power through (alleged financially-induced) defections of MPs in its infamous deformasi 916?

Indeed again, how could PKR claim to be a reformist party when it promoted its intra-party's struggle for control of state power through an unnecessary by-election at great cost and inconvenience to the public (apart from betraying Kajang-ites) in its infamous lie about the Kajang Manoeuvre?

Indeed yes indeed, how could PKR claim to be a reformist party when twice its party elections had been so 'entertaining' (wakakaka) that even the EC was said to envy some of the 'innovations' reported (wakakaka again)?

My dear Nurul, before you can claim that PAS has a reform agenda but without telling us what that would be, please reform you own deformasi party, and please lah, no more of your dad's type of manmanlai.

And some in PKR dare to preposterously title her as Putera Reformasi (what a wakakaka) and to promote her as a substitute for Anwar Ibrahim as Pakatan PM-designate! What a bloody joke!

Lim Kit Siang's bizarre ombudsman

Malaysiakini - PKR says it wants PAS in new Opposition coalition

don't simply play-play with me

wakakaka

PKR said today that it is of the opinion that PAS should be in the new opposition coalition.

"Yes, the president (Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail) has made it very clear, crystal clear," said Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali on the matter at a press conference in Rawang today.

Azmin had previously stated that his party wanted to continue cooperating with PAS in the new opposition coalition and it seems that the party is standing firmly on the matter.

The Bukit Antarabangsa assemblyperson was asked on Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng statement that it was untenable for PAS to be in the new coalition as its president, Abdul Hadi Awang, had announced that PAS would field candidates in all DAP-dominant seats.

Azmin, however, believes that this was merely Lim's personal view on the matter.

"That is his view and it is up to the DAP".

"What I have stated previously was not my stand but PKR's. It's not my personal stand or Wan Azizah's."

"We have discussed it thoroughly and have included the view of PKR de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar stated that PKR should always be inclusive," he said.

So ... PKR should always be inclusive, and presumably that inclusiveness extends to also UMNO? Wakakaka.

Kit is okay with my uncle ma

It seems in the assessment of Azmin, Lim Guan Eng is just Lim Guan Eng, thus who the f* does Lim think who he is, to say that it was untenable for PAS to be in the new coalition.

Well Azmin, Lim Guan Eng is ONLY the DAP's secretary-general, so f* you!

But wait, I apologize to Azmin, wakakaka - obviously Azmin had meant that someone else in DAP could have a different opinion to Guan Eng. Yes, that must be it for Azmin to have said "That is his view and it is up to the DAP", separating Guan Eng from the DAP!

Divide & conquer, wakakaka.

And I suspect that Azmin might have meant Lim Kit Siang could and probably would have a different view to Guan Eng. Of late, Lim Senior has been very "accommodating", wakakaka. Afterall, if Lim Senior could find it possible to work with Mahathir and even to support the MACC, what's working with PAS?

Oh! I've just read Lim Senior recommending Najib's brother, Nazir Razak, be appointed an ombudsman, and what purpose?

Read on, this is really cute or bizarre, wakakaka!

According to the Malay Mail Online, Lim Senior has proposed Nazir Razak, who is currently the CIMB Group chairman, be appointed an honorary Ombudsman to keep Cabinet ministers in line and stop them from saying “stupid things”.

Lim Senior (note I distinguish between Guan Eng and his headless chook of a dad for the latter's senseless clucking) reckons Nazir Razak "would be the perfect candidate for the job, since the latter warned the so-called “power people” two weeks ago against inane remarks amid the continuing decline of the ringgit."

Then, may I presume also that Nazir Razak once appointed an honorary ombudsman, will be able to keep Lim Senior in line and stop him, from saying "stupid things"?

Stupid things like an ombudsman being of honorary status! I've heard of locals being honorary consul for certain foreign countries but this is the first I'e heard of honorary ombudsman. One is either an ombudsman or not!

Stupid things like an honorary Ombudsman to keep Cabinet ministers in line and stop them from saying “stupid things”. Oh Uncle Lim, where do you come from?

Stupid things like not knowing what an ombudsman can and cannot do?

In brief, an ombudsman for a specific area of public interests (eg. banking, defence, electricity, police, etc) receives and hears complaints by members of the public against the department of his/her assigned jurisdiction, is empowered to call witnesses to provide information, even under oath if necessary, and/or to provide required documents in the course of investigating the public complaints, but does NOT hear arguments (like a judge) during his/her investigation into a complaint, makes his/her recommendation on findings of defective administration but which is NOT a legal instruction or compulsion.

Only if the ombudsman finds his/her recommendation to remedy a found defective administration has not been implemented to his/her satisfaction, would the ombudsman make a full report to (federal or state) parliament.

Lim Senior (not Junior, wakakaka) wants his honorary ombudsman to be able to summon miscreants (namely, those saying stupid things) so as to publicly lecture them for their stupid utterances or acts which undermine Malaysia’s national image. In this, he asked us to imagine ministers like Zahid, Abdul Rahman Dahlan, Madzir, Ismail Sabri, Salleh Said Keruak, Azalina and Shabery Cheek getting a public tongue-lashing from Nazir.

Surely that will be a ludicrous world-first, hitherto a BN-UMNO monopoly wakakaka, and I have to admit I didn't expect Lim Senior of the DAP to be the one to come up with such a bizarre idea of a 'Chinese school headmaster' type of ombudsman, one who can give a tongue-lashing to ministers and 'power people' for saying stupid things.

But then OTOH, given Lim Senior's remarkable behaviour lately, yes, it's not so unexpected afterall. In fact I would deem his bizarre proposal and weird understanding of an ombudsman as "undermining Malaysia's national image" so he should be the first to receive the tongue-lashing, wakakaka.

Slightly 3 years ago, I mentioned, nay, criticized RPK for getting carried away too much with his proposal for instituting an ombudsman (or committee of ombudsmen) for the 5 States then under the DAP-PKR-PAS governments. I commented he took my breath away with what I saw as his over-the-top proposal.

RPK had then proposed: “The Ombudsman must be above the Chief Minister and Menteri Besar."

Whoa!

"It must have the power and authority to summon even the highest man in the state to come before the committee for questioning on anything at all that may be perceived as wrongdoing, transgressions, deviations, etc."

"And the Ombudsman must have the power and authority to recommend the removal of any public servant or politician who may have committed a breach of discipline, even if he is the Chief Minister/Menteri Besar.”

Apart from a slight contradiction or confusion in his "... have the power and authority to recommend the removal of  ...", in which I believe 'recommending' doesn't require 'having the power and authority', whereas 'having the power and authority implies inherent executive powers to sack and remove a public servant, I had then gasped at one of his proposals, namely, "The ombudsman must be above the Chief Minister and Menteri Besar" and having the power and authority to [recommend?] remove the MB or CM.

I mentioned that those proposals were going too far, by putting an unelected person above the elected representatives of the people!

It would not have been unlike the government of Iran, where the unelected clerical Supreme Leader and the Assembly of Elders in Iran ride shotgun over the elected President and the Majles (Parliament).

The reality and fact is an ombudsman is no more than an independent individual of some standing in the nation or state, say, a retired judge, retired senior civil servant or retired leading academician or someone of the public status and integrity of Ambiga Sreenevasan (though not Maria Chin Abdullah wakakaka), and probably the most sterling example of all, a genuine Malaysian and a Towering one as well, but alas too late for us today, the late Ms Lim Phaik Gan (more popularly known as P.G. Lim) ...

Read her credentials here in Wikipedia and also in my post 
Chinese Malaysian highest achievements? in which I lamented her not being one of the Yang di Pertuan Negeri of Penang

... but on Lim Senior's recommended person, namely, Nazir Razak, I wonder whether he can be considered as an 'independent' vis-a-vis his regard for his politician brother? I asked Lim Senior the same of Mahathir in my post Is 'conflict of interest' alien to Lim Kit Siang? when he wanted Mahathir to head a RCI to probe into 1MDB financial status.

The ombudsman is usually appointed by the government or by parliament to represent the public interests. He or she does this by investigating and addressing complaints reported by individual citizens, ...

... meaning he doesn't and can't just haul people up for tongue lashing, as Lim Senior has proposed, whenever he thinks or assesses they have made stupid statements, wakakaka, but a school headmaster may if those 'stupid people' are his students, wakakaka again.

I had then written: The ombudsman is more interested in mitigating administrative injustice and correcting a system rather than taking punitive actions. An ombudsman does not have executive powers to sack or dismiss anyone ...

... or for that matter, tongue-lashes, wakakaka, any ministers or people in power who say 'stupid things', though I suppose we can make an exception if one of those 'stupid people' is an opposition leader who has been the one proposing a tongue-lashing version of ombudsman wakakaka again.

I continued: But in a democracy it would be the foolish government or private corporation which ignores his/her recommendations, which usually would be, as I mentioned, to right any administrative wrongs for the just benefits of the individual or the general public.

I ended up by stating: I certainly welcome the introduction of ombudsmen into our political and financial systems, and public and even private institutions (especially for Police and banking matters).

But let’s not overcook the new meal by making him/her into a pseudo-Ayatollah with supra powers over the people's democratically elected representatives.

I had then teased RPK by saying I would like to keep my ombudsman-steak medium rare please! Wakakaka. And wonderfully or civilly, RPK and I are still mateys despite my disagreeing with his 'ombudsmen' then.

So what's the difference between RPK's ombudsman and Lim Kit Siang's version?

RPK had wanted to give his ombudsman more power than would be appropriate (for an unelected person), in order to curb wrongdoings, transgressions, deviations [corruption] and ill discipline. The aim was noble but the empowering of the ombudsman would have militated against the concept of democracy, where an appointed and more importantly, unelected person could overrule or dictate to elected representatives.

Lim Kit Siang wants his ombudsman to scold ministers and 'power people' for making stupid statements. I'm not sure what Lim KS wants or hopes to achieve, but scolding ministers is actually the role of the voters.

You decide who had made the far superior proposal? 

An ombudsman trivia before I come back to our remarkable Lim Senior – while the term 'ombudsman' meaning ‘representative’ stems from Sweden, it seems prototypes of ombudsmen flourished in China during, strangely, the draconian Qin Dynasty (221 BCE). Maybe then those ombudsmen were of the tongue-lashing as well as whip-lashing type, wakakaka.

OK, now this is for Lim Junior, that's right Guan Eng and not daddy Kit Siang, and also DAP Perak's Nga Kor Ming, both of whom have great interests in Islamic history, wakakaka, that it was actually Umar ibn al-Khattāb, the second Muslim Caliph (634-644) and his concept of the Islamic Qadi al-Qadat, which influenced the Swedish King, Charles XII.

Poor Charles was in self-exile in Turkey when he learnt of the Islamic ombudsman concept. When he returned home in 1713, he created the Office of Supreme Ombudsman, which became the model for the world.

I hope our Lim Senior, that is Uncle Ah Kit, should think of early retirement, because nowadays I find it more and more difficult to bring myself a DAP supporter to say when in times of distress, "In the name of our Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost", as I have lost faith in the Father ..... unless he now gives Azmin Ali a tongue lashing for being grossly disrespectful to Guan Eng the sec-gen of the DAP.

Amen and wakakaka.

Caponization of DAP?

Malaysiakini - Hadi: PAS to contest in DAP dominated seats next GE (extract):

According to the Malay daily today, the move is seen as an counter attack against the PAS splinter party Amanah, which expressed its view to contest in all seats, included those won by PAS.

TMI - Azmin welcomes PAS’s inclusion in new opposition coalition (extract):

PKR deputy president Mohamed Azmin Ali today reiterated that the party wanted to continue its political cooperation with PAS in the new opposition coalition.

MM Online - Let PAS join new Pakatan, Azmin says (extract):

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 — PKR deputy president Azmin Ali has insisted that PAS be allowed to join the new federal opposition pact although the first alliance had crumbled due to the Islamist party’s fallout with DAP.

In a report by Malay daily Sinar Harian, the Selangor mentri besar said joining forces with PAS is in line with PKR’s stand as stipulated by president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail herself.

Hear that, you rocket-headed m*f*s, Azmin has PRONOUNCED that PAS joining Pakatan 2.0 "... is in line with PKR’s stand ...", and WTF will or can you do?

Without my Bhai around, DAP has ended up as always, sucking PKR's you-know-what, so Lim KS and his party can continue doing so. Read also my post
Selangor saga shows PKR's ketuanan mentality?

Being a DAP supporter, but now a very sad and shameful one, okay-lah I can contribute a bottle of Aussie honey to help ameliorate the 'taste' for DAP when it sucks up to Azmin's p.... declaration, wakakaka again.

After all, sucking Azmin's you-know-what won't be as bad as being shafted by working with your once-archfoe but now best friend.

Azmin (and perhaps even Anwar) knows DAP is so obsessed with bringing down Najib that the party leadership will work with anyone including The Devil, readily selling its once-principled soul as it were, thus Azmin has cleverly tweaked DAP's somewhat-dirtied-brown nose, knowing the democratic-socialist party will not dare to 'rebel', wakakaka, against PKR.

Azmin senses (probably correctly) that DAP needs PKR more than PKR needs DAP, and under the present bizarre malady which has affected DAP that I wrote about in my previous post "Chastise with the valour of my tongue ..." Azmin dares to unilaterally declare the coalition policy for Pakatan 2.0 as if he is now the undisputed leader of the new pact, just as his is now the undisputed policy maker of the Selangor DUN who could/can do what he likes, for example with Selangor's state-owned assets, as per his setting up of DEIG without prior consultation with his DAP ADUN colleagues, wakakaka - f* those rocket-heads.

For more on Azmin's DEIG, go over to Malaysia-Today to read S.O.S Alert. Save our Selangor.

Lim KS's new obsession is so intense, incurable and invincible that he will ally his party with anyone regardless, it seems, of even principles as evidenced by his amorous wooing of the most draconian former PM, who Lim KS had once condemned for the former his 929 and 617 fundamentalist Islamic nation Declarations, among other condemnations.

Azmin Ali knows that and thus armed with knowledge of Lim KS' weakness has him (and unfortunately the DAP) by the balls. Azmin is going to rip them off (those once-gigantic Bhai-sized balls, wakakaka), making the DAP a headless, clucking capon.

Bigger but ball-less
Smaller and a taxi sapu but now a gamecock and taxi super 

Good on you Azmin, and as a blogger my compliment is of sincere but grudging admiration at your political reading and powerful manoeuvre, where you have beautifully outflanked DAP.

makes good satay but due to tender-headed-ness. has inclination to overburnt especially in the climes of Kajang 

WTF are you going to do Kit Siang, and as a DAP supporter my anxiety and exasperation are also of sincere but disquiet concern at your current muddle-headed headless helter-skelter clucking - you send me to despair.

So, will the DAP allow itself to be turn into a useless eam kay (capon) by Azmin, which instead of clucking Chicken Little's "The sky is falling down" will be clucking "My balls have fallen down!"?

Toon, the sky is falling down, we need your help!

OK you foul mongrels ... er ... I mean fowl ensemble, but first bring me some salt and pepper

BREAKING NEWS:

My heart sang with delirious delicious delight when I read Malaysiakini's Guan Eng rejects PAS for new opposition coalition (extracts):

DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng has totally rejected the idea of PAS becoming a partner in the new opposition pact together with PKR and Parti Amanah Negara.

Lim said this arrangement was no longer tenable after PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang announced that his party would field candidates in all constituencies dominated by DAP in the coming general election.

"That question is no longer a question. You do not have to ask to know the answer," Lim told reporters when asked to comment on Selangor Menteri Besar Azmin Ali's statement that PAS was welcome to join the new opposition coalition.

"It becomes completely untenable for DAP to be part of any coalition with PAS, since it has made such an announcement to contest against the DAP," Lim explained at a press conference in Komtar today.

"Hadi did not make an announcement that PAS will contest against Umno but against DAP. The logic of that is, if PAS sto contest against us, how can it be part of the coalition?" Lim asked.

DAP, welcome home once again to your principles, and here's your balls back, wakakaka. Thank you, Guan Eng!

And if PKR insists on working together with PAS, tell them to go f* spiders, wakakaka.
