Follies of foul foolish fanaticism

Now, this hasn't been the first time that PKR troopers have bashed photojournalists.

One month ago I posted PKR Brown Shirts based on a Malaysiakini article Press irked by PKR security volunteers which told us that Malaysiakini videographer Mohd Kamal Ishak was pushed and shoved by PKR security personnel who behaved like fanatical thugs during the PKR organized anti-fuel price rally.

I wrote: It seems strange when their de facto leader would have welcomed the publicity, these hoodlums instead tried to confiscate journalists’ cameras or cover their camera lens, as if their froggie Messiah was like a 'certain personality' (pbuh) whose photographs couldn’t/mustn't be taken or allowed to be taken.

The same thing happened again on Sunday night.

Malaysiakini tells us in Photographers may boycott PKR that Guang Ming Daily photojournalist Loh Hoay Hoon was bashed by PKR thugs which had her seeking medical attention at the Seberang Jaya Hospital.

Loh had attempted to photograph Malaysia’s pseudo-Mahdi, he whose photo couldn’t be taken, and was allegedly kicked, choked and hit on the head by a group of PKR security personnel.

Malaysiakini reported that: According to her police report, Loh was allegedly assaulted by the group of men who tailed her to a carpark after a
ceramah by PKR supreme leader Anwar Ibrahim in Seberang Jaya, Penang.

Malaysiakini photo of brave PKR warriors bashing a woman photjournalist

It was not only the unrepentant PKR thuggish behavior in such incident after incident that pissed many off, but the unashamed bashing of a woman by men.

I can only term them as c***s, and I won’t say the word because there could be immature children from PKR who may read this post, but take it from me, the word is NOT ‘coward' but has only one vowel ‘u’.

As Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) has blogged in his post titled The cult called PKR:

That is the trouble with PKR. They dabble in cult personalities. When you are the current hot favourite, the flavour of the day, even your fart smells sweet. […]

The PKR crowd is one emotional group of people. I suspect that if Anwar was to order them to commit mass suicide they might just do so. And that is dangerous, as time and time again history has proven.

If Anwar could get a religious scholar somewhere in the world to come out with a fatwah (religious decree) that if you die for PKR you will go straight to heaven where 70 virgins are waiting for you, I bet we will not be short of candidates who will volunteer to undertake suicide missions. […]

The PKR people revere their idols and appear to lose their senses when in the presence of these demigods.


Well, no need for Anwar to enlist the help of a religious scholar - to those PKR cult acolytes, Anwar’s photo cannot be taken presumably because in their blinkered fanaticism, it’s against Islamic belief, and photographers like Loh will be bashed if not stoned to death.

Yesterday when I posted DAP infected by 'man man lai' vicious virulent virus I received the usual railings, rantings and ravings that I was not only against Anwar (which I have been very upfront with) but against DAP too ;-)

Why that accusation when anyone who has been reading my blog would know otherwise? Well, because I had criticized Lim Guan Eng and Charles Santiago.

For those immature cultists, as RPK had said, even Anwar’s fart would smell sweet, and may I add, even his sh*t would be like honey to those dumbos. So obviously my criticisms of Lim GE and Santiago must mean I am an UNNO cybertrooper. They cannot comprehend democratic practice and the right to criticise one's political leaders.

That’s the difference between the anwaristas and me, or that matter between anwaristas and any mature political follower. They should take a look at Western politics, to see how party members would drag their leaders over the coal for bullsh*t, whereas those anwaristas not only gobbled up Anwar’s poo willingly but even would attempt to tell others his faeces tasted yummy.

Let's look at those hypocrites' conduct:

Reformasi? Propagating frogs is okay if done by the PKR Mahdi - wakakaka. One bloke had the brazen gall to say that "when the BN is governing like shit ... even though it is unethical to ask BN guys to jump ship, it is something that has to be done."

“… unethical … [but] … something that has to be done …” wakakaka – that’s what I meant by eating ‘sweet’ sh*t.

“… 50 years of terrible BN rule …” but ignoring that Anwar Ibrahim was minister and DPM and acting PM for almost 2 decades.

“.. don’t bring up Anwar’s baggage … that’s in the past …” yet the same hypocrites would continuously remind us of Dr Mahathir’s sins.

“Anwar is innocent until proven guilty” and I agree with that, yet those fanatics won’t extend to Najib the same principles of law.

As Abraham Lincoln said: You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

  1. these pkr goons are crazy. to hit anyone, woman or man who is just doing their job is totally unacceptable. is this what we are changing for? one regime for another? what does history tells us? i hope the said photographer will not accept any apology from these goons. they broke the law, and should be punished. let this be a lesson to all

  5. Heck! why should the photographer get so close to the bodyguards? She should know better as today you can use zoom lenses for on your camera.An occupational hazard and it comes with the job.
    She could stay far from Anwar's goon but that photo scoop was important.

  6. do not speculate lar, PR has log a police claim to investigate this issue. PR also apology for the event even they hasn't find out the dalang behind this, but they take the responsibility. Can we see this from BN. The answer is NO.

  7. PKR and many others think anwar is a god. The truth is, he is just another power-crazy politician who wants to be take over the government so that he can gets his hands on the country's riches.

  8. That photo of the attack by a bunch of men, some staring, some standing like a wall to keep outsiders from seeing the despicable act, tells more than a thousand words about the cult of personality in PKR.

    Who are they protecting? Why is the woman photographer without her reporter or peers? Why was there anyone in PKR (a supposedly multiracial party) standing up to help her from the mob, who appeared to be from one particular race?

    Thank God she wasn't badly hurt. I think Anwar should revamp his security team, fire the culprits and most importantly, destroy the cult of personality that he has built up ASAP.

    If personal charisma/cult following was a good political tactic to win votes, then the photo above and bad press from the police report is sufficient to lose him many votes to come, from fellow bloggers like us and the public, who are still doubtful about his trustworthiness.

From here, you can see a different between PR and BN. BN has proven fail this part. Let's see how DSAI handle this case then. As for others PR leader, they have showed the example.

  11. Doubtless Anwar needs protection. Whoever murdered Altantuya has to ensure, if all else fails, Anwar does not live. So, the death threat overhanging Anwar is real.

    Recall what the special assistant or special squad people who murdered Altantuya? That chap boasted that they gotten rid of quite a number of people permanently. She was not the first.

    While Anwar needs protection, the security goons - in his American-style system - protecting him seems more like thugs and gangsters. They need to be given a dressing-down on their behaviour.
    Don't justify your bloody acts that you are only doing your job to protect Anwar. Yeah, more like protecting your arse and your job to the detriment of everything else. Utterances such as these can only come from unqualified bums. Not professionals.

    Agreed that at this juncture, photographers and journalists should not get too near to Anwar for security reasons. Al Qaeda techniques such as suicide bombers have been very effective in getting rid of opponents. Recall how Massoud - a prominent Afghanistan leader was killed by the Al Qaeda/Taliban group. Recall too Rajiv Gandhi - how he was also blown to pbits by a Jaffnese girl suicide bomber.

    Nonetheless, in empathising with Anwar, the thuggish behaviour of his security guars captured on video and photos is not acceptable.
    Either sack the bastard or bastards involved, or get them to make full public apology.

    What are we to think of PKR's management? A prelude to UMNO-like cultural similarity to come?

Kenapa buat perangai macam orang dah takda otak, ni lah jadinya kalau dah taksub sangat dengan Anwar, otak pun hilang entah kemana. Sampai tak boleh berfikir. Lepas tu bila dah jadi macam ni, taknak mengaku pulak, cakap bukan orang diorang. Apa benda ni? Semua pun buat perangai Anwar, menuduh sana sini. Tahniah, ini lah budaya yang dibawa Anwar, budaya keganasan, budaya berdemonstrasi, budaya yang mengganggu keamanan. Esok kalau betul dia jadi PM habis hancur negara dengan budaya keganasan yang dibawanya..

  14. Quote "Agreed that at this juncture, photographers and journalists should not get too near to Anwar for security reasons. Al Qaeda techniques such as suicide bombers ..." unquote

    wakakaka - more 'sweet' sh*t

    (i) why did those "who tailed her to a carpark after a ceramah by PKR supreme (wah!) leader Anwar Ibrahim ..." bring themselves close to the 'suicide bomber'?

    (ii) why take action way after the attempt to photograph Anwar? If safety for Anwar had been the true concern, why pursued the poor woman all the way to the car park to bash her? Cowardly c***s!

    (iii) Chinese Malaysian suicide bomber? wakakaka

    (iv) was MKINI videographer Mohd Kamal Ishak also one of those 'suicide bombers'?

    The truth for the anwaristas is that Anwar's bodyguards or security detail like to behave like vengeanceful Archangels to the PKR 'God', where mere mortals must be bashed/beaten/walloped aside, yes, especially photographers - unIslamic to take images of a 'God' or 'prophet' lah.

    It's the PKR thugs' dream to exercise and demonstrate a fiercesome show of power, especially if their target is a woman or a harmless MKINI videocameraman. Even PKR's most famous videocameraman, Loh Gwo Burne was so bashed.

    But I question the PKR leadership for failing miserably to deal with their party guards' inexcusable thuggerism when the disgraceful criminal behaviour has not been a recent phenomenon. Such gangsterism should have been eliminated from the party.

    One shouldn't be blamed for imagining that the PKR condone such behaviour to project an aura of Mugabe-an pseudo-power.

  15. Hi Ktemoc

    1. Another "photo opportunity" to bash Anwar and PKR that is too tempting to pass up?
    Let's see what actions PKR leaders will take to curb these guys (if they are genuine PKR guys and not the FIL-SIL regime's agent provocateurs, that is!). And such actions are absolutely necessary.

    2. Take a look at the sorry record of the BN government. Go to the link below. Your comments on it, please. The mark of a true intellectual is critical, balanced commentary on both sides i.e. both Anwar/PR and AAB-KJ/BN!

  23. kittykat, I would term it 'perseverance' in exposing the hypocrisy of a person, who as an UMNO minister had a nasty record of draconian Islamisation/ethno-centric attitude and performance.

    I still remember the Education Ministry's proselytising 'baca doa' policy. That's something that we should remember and not pretend it didn't occur.

  25. Ktemoc,

    Kindly re-read my posting in full and not take one quotation selectively and pour scorn on it.

    If you disagree wih my perception of how these people perceive the threats to Anwar, you are free to do or say so; but not degrade the discussion here to abusive foul terminology. You really do injustice to yourself.

    If these thugs and gangsters have a supersentisitve ego as is expected of brainless thugs and gangsters to exhibit their masochism, it is no surprise if they decide to follow Ms Loh to the carpark to cause further discomfiture. Doesn't take a genius to expect that.

    What's your argument and point then that is ultimately different from mine?

    Honesty is nice policy. Look into the mirro, and you will see just how subjective you have been in bashing Anwar. And slandering neutral people who happens to highlight some skewed comments of yours, as being "Anwaristas".

    Name calling. One would have thought this only happens in childhood especially during the juvenile stage.

    No. Anwar is merely the
    "leader" of an evergrowing popular
    movement for change in this country. You may be able to stop a man but you are going to have a lot of trouble stopping a popular movement.

    Anyway, YB Lim Kit Siang is a veteran politician with decades of experience. He knows much better than us and I'm confident he knows what he is talking about!

  31. Yo KT

    Being a World War 2 military history buff, I was tickled "pink" about the reference to the Brown Shirt and Nazi.

    You see the Nazi party's German abbrevation is NSDAP. The Brown Shirts were officially called as SA (Sturm Ableitung). Their head was Ernst Rohm who has an uncanny resemblance to RPK.

    More interestingly this guy Rohm was a homosexual despite his macho talk and brutal personality. In the end Hilter himself ordered Rohm to be murdered in cold blood.

    KT, are you trying to pass some subliminal messages to us here using this metaphor of Brownshirt, NSDAP, PKR, homosexual....??

    In fact, trying desperately to play around with the legal system in order to put this man into trouble, for crimes he never commit, will make this popular movement grow into such a gigantic force that the tsunami metaphor will no longer be appropriate. This is happening right now in Malaysia.

  33. Dear v

    If UTK (Unit Tindakan Khas) wants DSAI dead, Anwar would be long gone by now. There are practically dozens of ways to kill without leaving a sign of foul play. No amount of overzealous body guards could protect him if UTK uses one of their 50 caliber sniper rifle and shoot from 1 km away.

    I wonder if Anwar is in such mortal danger, how come he has been moving around the country freely and talking infront of huge crowds without worry before the Saiful issue came up. All of a sudden Anwar feared for his life and claimed to be in mortal danger. How come he has not come forward to make a police report or show proof of such threats ?

    What I know is that there is this self-proclaimed warriors from some misguided Silat group who is protecting DSAI from non-existance threats and enemies.

    That was the reason the PDRM decided to intercept DSAI and arrest him rather than letting get back home. The plan was to let the international media to be present and protected by these silat bully boys and force PDRM arrest him violently to create a drama worthy of a cheap Drama Swasta.

    Sorry if I had forgot to explain my "rationale" for I had wrongly assumed that I am dealing with grown ups with IQ higher than a pet baboon. Pls forgive for my unpardonable error.

    You see anwaristas and their kaki "bodek"ians claimed Mak Cik Wan Azizah should vacate her MP seat and her Opposition Leader position to Anwar since he has the endorsement of the rakyat. However if DSAI gets lower votes (or even loses) it would only mean that people think that our Mak Cik is more popular than him.

    As such, since people has judged differently, then it would be better for DSAI to return the seat and position back to our dutiful and loyal Mak Cik Gurkha aka Wan Azizah.

  45. Chaptokam: 'convince' and 'fool' are two different words. Since your English is not good, let me tell you that they actually have virtually opposite connotations: 'convince' is positive, while 'fool' is negative.

    Well, there are times that KTemoc can be pretty good, such as his latest one, on "De facto déjà vu". But this particular post is quite bad: the bases of his arguments and comments are weak, if they are there at all. So he's definitely guilty of trying to "fool" people here.
