The dark genes of UMNO

Based on a Malaysiakini report on the former Selangor MB challenging the current MB, Khalid Ibrahim, to instruct his exco to declare their assets.

Comments a la pre-emptive strike in my post Khir Toyo taunted Khalid Ibrahim on my voiced plan to blog on Khalid Ibrahim’s zero-squatter policy:

Now, do I follow your blog that thrives in innuendos and self delusion or the blog of the man who is in charge of squatters, local govt and etc in Selangor? Do I need to take your slanted explanation of prejudice or take the position of the REAL man in charge?

This is what Ronnie Liu tells me in his blog

"The zero squatter policy of the Selangor Barisan Rakyat govt would never be the same as the one implemented by the BN govt. The interest of urban pioneers will always be taken care of by the new state govt. That’s a promise. - Anon

… I think the "anon"`person who has posted the Local Govt Selangor Exco simply wanted to show that he follows the story from the man who is responsible for all that stuff rather than you who has no inkling of how he intends to do his work. I think that's right. I too should know more about Exco Ronnie and his steps, after all, he is the one. Giving Ronnie advise on how intends to solve that issue is different from preceding his actions and what he intends to do as if you know anything. Like someone said, your anti (...) shouldn't make you overreach yourself. - Cindy


;-) and I have yet to post my proposed piece.

Typically but growing ever more vigorously is the intolerance from a certain political party, and it’s not UMNO, ... yet born of UMNO, for where else could it have inherited this intolerance.

Their behaviour? None must question nor criticize not comment on its leaders, policies, conduct or actions. Not especially any member of the public!

Its acolytes haven’t even the patience, decency and etiquette to see what I would actually be writing. But they have already launched their pre-emptive strikes, assuming my comments to be bad and anti Khalid.

How sad! Is this what we have exchanged the arrogant non accountable non transparent BN for?

Intolerance is a sign of aggressive under-confidence and an inability to deal intelligently with criticisms.

Could it be that they themselves feel or know they have done something wrong?

Just like UMNO! Very soon they will be taking to the streets ... wait, they have already in 1998.

But then, what can you expect from a party which has as its very genesis the very party it condemns but now imitates, UMNO!
