Prophecy or Mind-games?

Have you heard of the term a self-fulfilling prophecy?

DSAI made a "prophecy" that BN MP's would jump in sufficient numbers for PR to form the federal government.

I do not know whether this is true at this time or not. But the beauty of such mind-games is that with the help of BN itself, the "prophecy" may well end up fulfilled.

Remember that as soon as there was a mention of BN MP's jumping ship, BN was so scared they sent spies to BN MP's to make sure that they wont jump.

And then of course the BN MP's regardless of whether they wanted to jump or not, was quite pissed with those snoops. So pissed that loyal MP's are now considering a jump?

Perhaps after reading into the reaction from Federal BN regarding the threats of jumping, East Malaysia's BN MPs saw the opportunity to pressure PM for more representation from Sabah and Sarawak.

But alas, PM saw their bluff and was able to prevent East Malaysia gaining grounds in federal govt. But after this "setback" how many of this East Malaysia BN MPs are contemplating to jump?

Now recently DSAI made a statement that the BN MPs are ready to jump within this few months. And then followed by a statement that DSAI would become PM within 3 years.

Now what would BN do in the face of these new revelations? Do they step up the surveilance within this 4 months and risk pissing off the BN MPs to the stage where they will be forced to jump, or would BN just ignore this threat and give DSAI a free hand in negotiating with BN's MP?

And what is the 3 years time frame to become PM when DSAI mentioned that BN MPs would jump within this few months? Is DSAI's 3 years statement made to throw BN off guard to make them think that they can have a lesuirely 3 years to come up with a defence instead of 4 months?

The beauty of this self-fulfilling prophecy is that PR may not have any jumpers from BN when DSAI first made the statement. PR may not have the jumpers even now. But depending on BN's action or inaction, PR may have it by 4 months time.

And this has become quite entertaining and im sure we Malaysians would want to know the outcome of this political drama barring any later plot twist and further revelations, would hope that this drama would end soon in 4 months time. I'm personally hoping that this is The Return of the Jedi instead of The Empire Strikes Back.

Lets watch something else now

Well, like all reality shows, you need to have a game plan, and you need to plan your moves correctly, else you get kick out.

Same goes for American Idol.

You don't have to sing amazingly if you are already talented like my personal choice Michael Johns and David Cook. All they need to do is just give 70-80% And I guess that was what they did, but last night, they gave 100%.

Have you ever heard Billie Jean sang like that ? Briliant, just briliant. If that was the final, Michael would have lost.

How I see it goes, it is something like Hell's Kitchen Season 2, the one that is currently showing on AFC. Virginia is a bimbo and has big boobs, but she made it through the finals beating Keith, which was a no-brainer. But what to do, Gordon liked her.

Leng lui contestants always gets away with murder, Kristy Cook is still in AI7, and last night they kicked out Chikezie ????? see what I mean. Well it is all about ratings and sponsors.

Popular vote contestant, small kid David something, seems to be showing his age disadvantage now. Breaking under pressure.

Top 3 ? Michael, David & David. And if they learn a lesson from Taylor Hicks, rocker David would be too a genius for them - difficult to agree i would presume, Michael looks natural, but small kid David seems to have won the popular choice award already. It is not whether how good you are, it just how popular you are with the majority of people watching you. Malaysian Idol 2 winner Daniel something was an excellent example.

Actions speaks louder than words

Both Barisan Alternatif and Barisan Nasional claims that they have around 50% of popular support each. There is no arguments about BA, but for BN, it would be more like 10% popular support, 10% postal votes, 10% phantom votes, 10% government servants' forced votes and 10% outright cheating.

It is not called a disaster for BN if they really get 50% popular votes. It is a disaster for BN because they(BN) knew that without all this cheating, they would get less than 10%, more or less popular votes.

And here we are at the crossroad of malaysia's political uncertainty given that BN's MP are ready to jump ship, we can hear some grumbling about respecting the peoples' wishes and that the people have voted for BN, etc..

The reason that most BN MP's are voted in is because of cheating by BN. Without it, most of them would have bungkus and lost their deposit even.

To the BN MP who would like to jump ship, there would not be any backlash from your constituency it may even be your moral obligation to go over to BA. By going over to BA, the BN MP could count on among others(many others), the parents of children forced to go to the death trap called national service, the users of toll who gets cheated of their hard earned money, paying for utilities such as water and electricity at inflated prices and so on....

The BN are now doing an "autopsy" for their election loss. The BN leaders themselves say that it was a very bad result for them. So much so that some of them are even refusing cabinet posts. BN does not sound like someone that have won 50% popular votes. In fact they sound more like they are fearing for their political career. Only they themselves would know how much of the claimed 50% of popular votes are actually real votes. But you must take it from them, look at their actions and see for yourselves, their very fear of malaysians who have had enough and ready for a change of government. Their very action speaks louder than whatever rhetorics and propoganda that they could put into words.

The 12th General Election - Malaysian best movie of the century

Forget about Jangan Pandang Belakang, Impak Maksima, Cuci or even Duyung .

The best Malaysian movie made or better yet, RTM & SPR made for 2008 is non other then the 12th General Election results.

It has all the categories sum into one fucking long show, from suspense (Perak's State Candidate seats when BN trailing closely) to drama (Koh Su Kun press release on handing over Penang to Opposition) to comedy (Samy losing) and non-stop action packed (All night long).

I would't mind watching a repeat if that is possible.

The only thing lacking in that long show was the expression by those losing BN candidates or even better the Menteri-Menteri Besar and Chief Minister of each losing State, especially in Penang and Selangor.

Else the 12th GE can even stand for best acting by an individual.

Its like FIFA World Cup meets Jerry Bruckheimer meets The Godfather.

And since it is such a BIG thing, a song to mark the changes should be sung like Scorpion did in The Wind of Change by great Malaysian artistes known by all generations of Malaysian like Zainal Abidin or Ramli Sarip or better yet, Ella like when she sang for that 1998 Malaysian Commenwealth Games theme song.

It will take more than 5 years, BN had 50.

Tak nak pakai songkok, salah, dipanggil pukimak.

Nak MB Cina, tak boleh, salah, tak respect Sultan.

Nak 8 kerusi, tak boleh, salah, cakap tamat pulak lah tu.

Kalau macam itu, next election, you orang main je lah. Kami simpan Penang, you orang boleh belah-belah satu Malaysia dengan BN.

Cina je yang salah. Kalau PAS & PKR yang menang 18 kerusi itu, sure semua dok diam. That time sure kata, we follow the rule of democracy, winner takes all.

Yes I know, baik I balik China je lah.

What is NEP?

Please note that the above title is not meant to be a question. If you came here armed with an answer, sorry but please hold on to it first and let me indulge you in something which is on my mind about NEP.

To me, a working class chinese, NEP is RM0.57 per meter cube of Syabas supplied water (Selangor& K.L). NEP is also about foreign cars priced beyond ordinary malaysians reach. NEP is about paying extra for daily necessities and etc. But is NEP any different for all Malaysians?

Pak lah probably pays as mush for water as me. It is a fixed price.(for under certain amount of m3, when more are used, it is RM1.92) No matter if you are the prime minister or poor malaysians of all races, you will pay RM0.57(in Sel&KL). And i assure you why we all, regardless of age, gender, race and social status, pays 0.57 per meter cube, is because of NEP. Why are malaysians, including the poor, including bumiputra poors, pays 0.57 just because of NEP? Without this water NEP we would have paid 20-30 sens instead of 57 sens. Is helping a few bumiputra to become a billionaire more important than helping the poor, which includes bumiputra poor? I personally have no problem paying water bills. Instead of RM8.00, i pay RM14-15. But are the poor willing to pay for this NEP?

And then comes the AP. How many times have you read in the newspaper when there are fatal accidents, the victims are usually driving in some locally made cars? What more 9 out of 10 of the accidents the victim are malays. Why should we support mediocrity in locally made cars and price the imported cars out of reach of every Malaysians? NEP? Would the victims especially the malay victims support this NEP?

Rising price of necessities, all because of cronies, corruption and wastages of NEP. These are being paid for by all Malaysian, again including the poor. If the price of roti canai is 80 sens for me, it wil be 80 sens for Ah Kau, 80 sens for Muthu and 80 sens for Ali. And yes even Ali needs to pay 80 sens.
NEP, which is to enrich a handful of bumiputras, are paid for by all Malaysians. And i need to stress the point that even poor bumiputra Malaysians pay for NEP.

To pay for the NEP, to me, it is like buying a AMD insted of INTEL and drinking ais kosong instead of teh tarik. But to the poor who similiarly needs to pay for NEP, they probably pay for it by skipping a few meals and a few doctor's appoinment.

Andi really need to stress that the price i pay for NEP can be illustrated as drinking ais kosong instead of Teh tarik. And i am quite sure anyone who can afford a computer or can afford internet, pays the same price i am paying or if you are rich, you may not even notice it. But to those poor that cannot afford internet access, cannot afford to buy a computer, they are probably paying the price by skipping a few meals.

BN and especially UMNO have been telling lies for so long that they even lie to their own. The fallacy that all or most Bumiputra would benefit from NEP is just not possible. The economic pie is just not big enough. Even in Uncle Sam country, the largest economy in the world, you could find homeless people.

And to DAP and PKR, i would just like to say that in Malaysia, to stop the NEP is political suicide. Even the mighty BN could not survive if they were to stop NEP. Lim Guan Eng and Tan Sri Khalid are either visionaries or plain fools. Lim Guan Eng is an accountant. Tan Sri Khalid is a former CEO. Most DAP, PKR and PAS leaders are lawyers, doctors and professionals. These guys are perfectly capable of absorbing the effect of NEP. Why should people like them fight NEP and risk their reputation and political careers, not to metion ISA? Why should Anwar who is rumoured to be very well to do, risk coming back to Malaysia? Why did Lim Kit Siang who have fought this system for 40 years while getting demonised by the Malays, the Chinese and the Indians, even bother to still pursue his political ideals?

Why would any politician in the opposition risk ISA to fight for what they believe and to fight for the poor? And please remember that the states that was captured by the opposition are the so called "rich" states. It would not be too far off to say that the people who have voted for you, are in the majority, not really effected by the NEP.

And to the handful of Malays who stand to benefit from NEP, please ask yourself is becoming a millionaire through NEP worth having asking the poor to skip a few meals just so you can achieve your dream? And these poor which would invariably include a large portion of your own race?

They are coming out of the closet!

i guess this should be part 2.

During the run up to the elections, i tried to convince my friends to pangkah PAS just because there was a winds of change and that they should just send BN packing.

Once the opposition smells victory by pushing back BN in parliament and states seats, there are people who comes out and declare that race based politics is over and new begining etc.

And then everywhere i look there were "advices" offered by people/bloggers to the new Barisan Alternatif/Rakyat on how to run the states. But i must ask those people, what makes you think you can dictate what a political party does or not do? No offence intended, but who made you the advisers to the political parties? But this is of course expected. What i did not expect was....

And then yesterday LKS made a remark that they do not support PAS candidate as MB. My first reaction and also most peoples reaction was that he should have discussed this behind closed door and come to a compromise with other opposition parties. But at that time i came across a new type of blogger. These bloggers are what i called Closet Racists. They were the ones who cheered and extolled the virtues of non racial policy but at the first opportunity they get they go after the first chinaman they see. LKS did say he would be agreeable if a PKR assemblyman becomes MB. The candidates does include a PKR malay. But does the closet racist see this? No, they just come out bursting from their closet.

To appease the closet racist, LKS appologised to the Sultan and Regent. Thought that it ended there? Far from it. the closet racist is still out for blood. Maybe the non malays did the right thing in 1999....at least they did not need to deal with a closet racist. They dealt directly with BN who is an open racist. Better the devil you know.....

I dont know what is going on behind the scenes but now i personally have told my friends who voted for PAS that a PAS MB shouldnt be that bad because i imagined all PAS assemblymen to be like Nik Aziz but this image was quickly dispelled by the latest revelations that state PAS have a high degree of autonomy and not under the purview of HQ PAS plus the rumour that PAS assemblymen in Selangor would jump ship if they did not get some senior post in the state govt. I am now getting ready to kena from my friends because of this.

So what now? Would Perak PAS jump to BN if they are not given any post? Heard that Selangor Deputy MB would be from PAS. Probably to appease PAS from jumping ship. The next round, I would only urge my friends to vote for PKR and DAP or some State PAS that i can trust. Definately not Selangor or Perak.

An opposition pact was a real possibility but, well, it was good while it last.

You have no fucking idea what you did on the the 8th of March 2008, right ?

Part 1

On the 8th of March, many people just went to the polling station to marked "X" on some pieces of paper. But I think most of them have no idea what they were doing at all. All they knew was they had to get rid of BN. Period.

The Malay felt that the UMNOputras was cheating them.

The Chinese felt that the MCA was just a useless pet dog of Pak Lah.

And the Indians, well the Indians were all fired up since the HINDRAF movement.

So, this millions of people went to the polling station with all this pent up anger, and they voted. They all voted for the oppositions. There were no longer racial barriers, the Chinese voted for Moon & The Eye, the Malays voted for the Rocket and the Indians voted for anything on that piece of paper other than BN.

It is like when you are pissed with something, you no longer see the whole picture, you only see and hear what your mind at that moment of time wants to process. At that moment of time, BN sucks, big time. Nothing BN does matters anymore. Your mind was set, one agenda, hapuskan BN.

So we have this historical election. BN was shocked beyond belief. It is like losing a sure bet. Same goes for the opposition, BN head upon the silver platter. That would be like winning a 25-1 Quinella odd.

Now that the opposition has won many many seats plus many many states, these people are not that pissed anymore, they start to behave like the old typical Malaysian. The BN Malaysian.

Like that how to maju ? Malu got lah.

You want BN out yes ? You want change yes ? But you cannot accept a Chinese for MB ?

Sudah mula lagi x 2.

Lets keep it simple again.

PAS won majority seats in Kedah, PAS Menteri Besar, fine.
PAS won majority seats in Kelantan, PAS Menteri Besar, fine.
PKR won majority seats in Selangor, PKR Menteri Besar, fine.
DAP won majority seats in Penang, DAP Chief Minister, fine.
DAP won majority seats in Perak, DAP Menteri Besar, fuck off, PAS fine.

And we have bloggers all over the blog sphere condemning DAP for being greedy lah, falling into BN trap lah, selfish lah, forgetting their mandate lah, blah blah blah.

Just stop and listen to your self. Falling into BN's trap ? Then what the fuck are your posts and comments all about ?????

Yes, you, me and 5 million other people voted for the BR, yes, we got the power to decide who we want to govern us, but this is inter-parties decisions, by the very right DAP has 18 seats, PKR has 7 & PAS 6. You put 6 & 7, you only get 13. And furthermore, you that person that decides which state government you want to govern you, chose DAP, a race base party, what the fuck are you so fucking upset now.

Now I can read endless posts on this nonsense.

You imagine lah, you and a group of friends create a group study before STPM, everyday you guys study together, test each other & help each other. Then STPM results was announced, you got 5a1, the rest of them got 2A lah, 3A lah. But guess who got the Petronas scholarship to Amerika ? That friend of your with 2 biji A. You tak frust ke ? Telan sahaja ke ?

If you ask me, this is the mentality that BN want lah from you people. Say want change, but cannot accept a Menteri Besar of a different race. If you cannot accept changes, best you stick with BN and let them screw you over and over again.

And the Perak's royal decision does raise some eyebrow, if it is a malay chap you need, then why not PKR ????? tak suka Prime Minister in waiting ke ???

Ini Malaysia kalau you tak suka, you can go fuck off.

OK lah everyone had read enough of all this already, reasons by BN lost, reasons why BR won, Top 100, Top 20, Top 10 reasons, Election analysis, blah blah blah.

I will keep it simple, The Rakyat won. Now the BN & BR must listen to the Rakyat. Perform or fuck off.

BN or BR you have no right to threaten us on any fucking issues racial or religious. We will decide who we will vote for base on your performance and non-performance.

The Rakyat won, we should no longer call ourself, Malaysian Malay or Chinese or Indian or lain-lain. We should only be refer to as Malaysian, period.

Ini Malaysia dipimpin oleh Rakyat Malaysia, kalau you tak suka, you can go fuck off.
