Canonisation of evil?

Jo Samad of TMI wrote (extracts):

PERLIS mufti Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin said voting in elections is about deciding the lesser of the two evils; it’s not about who is good, it’s about who is less bad.

Asri’s pronouncements is nothing new but it shows disdain and contempt for both sides of the political divide from a prominent religious figure.

Choosing who is less bad is what precisely gave birth to the “#Undi Rosak” movement. Reality has sunk in among the young voters – whoever wins the election, they will be getting one of the two evils. {...}

What the younger voters should do is to start something like a Green Party movement, a third force, as the alternative and cast their votes. Spoilt votes does not help build a nation, it’s an exercise of futility.

Voting third party candidates on a unified banner or platform will be a breath of fresh air for our country. You may not form the government now, but you can be the voice in parliament or even kingmaker in the case of hung parliament.

Hadi Awang had warned Penang DAP that holding local council elections might lead to another May 13

Hadi was worried local council elections would see his PAS people voted out when they were then enjoying 'appointments' by Pakatan Rakyat as councillors

Well, isn't it a bit too late now to form a third party (or coalition) unless you are prepared to vote PAS, wakakaka. While I go and wash my mouth, let's all pretend I did not say that, wakakaka again.

Mind, Commander (retd) Thayaparan of Malaysiakini had suggested we vote for his favourite politician in PSM.

Dr Jeya, PSM 

Just as the DAP has been accused of being predominantly Chinese-based and thus a de facto Chinese political party, PSM is also seen as predominantly Indian-based and thus a de facto Indian political party. The allegations-accusations-propaganda against DAP and PSM are of course false in that both are true multiracial parties (unlike some who claimed to be multiracial but in actuality are ketuanan parties, wakakaka).

But alas, I am not sure PSM can attract Malay and Chinese votes as it's seem as either too 'red' (a la communist) or too Indian.

logo frightens mainly Malays 

Additionally for a 3rd option, an attractive PRM (not PSM) will now be available, especially in Penang. PRM hinted of its future 'green' credentials which may then make it into a new Green Party (rather than a red one which frightens Malays). For those who want to vote for, say, former DAP Teh Yee Cheu, rumours have it he (Teh) may be contesting GE14 under a PRM ticket.

Teh is quite popular in his Tanjung Bungah state constituency and may possibly do a miracle in wrestling his current seat from his old party, the DAP. It'll then be a feather in the cap for the PRM who in earlier years together with the Labour Party formed the socialist coalition of Barisan Socialis. The socilaists dominated Penang's George Town council seats in Penang. George Town's first mayor was DS Ramanathan of the Labour Party.

PRM 

But that's the problem with PSM and PRM, which my socialistic heart and mind love as they love socialist democrat DAP, in that both are currently minor parties and are only available as a 3rd option to the voters in a few electoral constituencies.

So on a national basis, at least in Peninsular, do you want to listen to Perlis mufti Mohd Asri and vote for the lesser evil? But as Jo Samad pointed, that has been why #UndiRosak movement has been born, to NOT vote for any evil. Lesser or greater evil, well, f**k them.

In fact, I find I am getting more attracted to #UndiRosak because if I vote for the DAP which has been long my preferred party, won't I be voting also for Mahathir? Terrifying, isn't it?

Mind, that does NOT mean I am implying he's the lesser evil. Politically, he has been/ is just evil, as can be seen from his terrible track record as a former PM. If he had kuai kuai stayed retired I would have at least accepted he was a former PM and thus now a respectful retired senior citizen.

But he now presents a clear and present danger to my political belief. I do NOT believe in the Pakatan auto-canonisation of new members who were the very epitome of evil prior to their Pakatan career. 

#UndiRosak becomes more and more attractive to my political conscience.
