What open his eyes now to see the realities which the Rakyat have been enduring this sorry state of affairs for the past 50 years of UMNO hegemony? This is totally a whimper's excuse to complain too late after 22 years of begging. Before no BN component beggar would dare to complain this shits! Mr Keng Yaik and the likes of him beggars, I believe are not beggars in the true sense, if it were, why got their sons to be beggars as well? Who in their right mind would want to be beggars if he knows it is a hopeless situation to beg and worse to be treated as 2nd class for life. What about being a 'berbuat' beggar with all the 'kangtau' to ensure a good life post beggar politics? A real life beggar on the street can only dream of this. You think the Rakyat will appreciate this beggar story which you, Mr.Keng Yaik has to endure for 22 years for the Rakyat? The Rakyat are no fools not to see beyond this hopeless 'act' of voluntary begging on behalf of the Rakyat, who in the end will benefit nothing except the BN berbuat beggars themselves who will be better off than the Rakyat! We Rakyat don't need to BEG! BN HAS TO BEG TO STAY RELEVANT! Mr Keng Yaik now ‘realised’ that he and his BN component fellas have been beggars?

A beggar begs for himself and may be his family as well. His accomplishment can be measured on a daily basis, based on his “collection” at the end of each day. After 50 years, MCA, Gerakan and MIC, having awaken from their long slumber as beggars, still have no alms in their open palms to show to their communities. MCA and Gerakan had consistently failed to convey the aspirations and concerns of the Chinese community to UMNO. They hide their cowardice behind the smoke-screen “we will do it the BN way, we discuss behind closed doors.” When did they ever disclose to us the end result of their “behind closed door” meetings? NEVER. If they had admitted to us that they are politically impotent to fight for our rights and that they may have to represent us to “beg” for our rights from UMNO, we would have admired their guts and respect their sacrifice for the good of the communities. But they lied to us all along, pretending that they can defend and advance our community’s rights. We knew they were beggars, but they denied it. Only when the “chain of self interests” which bound the corrupt politicians together had been broken (by virtue of the fact that the leaders of MCA. Gerakan and MIC are no longer in the Govt), they finally located their conscience and started to tell the truth. I have a close friend who is a veteran of Gerakan. He used to brim with pride for being a Gerakan member. He holds the strong belief that Gerakan Ministers and Govt officials are not corrupt. I argued with him that corruption does not mean one has to steal from the country or Rakyat to be corrupt. If Gerakan, which is part of the BN Govt, stands idle and watch the UMNOputras and cronies stealing the country blind, then Gerakan is as corrupt as UMNO because it is abetting UMNO in these corrupt activities. He agreed with me. After the 8 Mar GE, I asked how he felt since Gerakan had been totally wiped out from Penang. His reply stunned me. “I am very HAPPY, Gerakan may have lost but the Rakyat won.” he exclaimed. Lim Guan Eng had just uncovered the massive fraudulent land deal relating to the PGCC. Koh Tsu Koon may not be corrupt per se, but he facilitated the UMNOputras and cronies in reaping “windfall profits” at the expense of the State Govt and the Rakyat. If LGE’s allegations turn out to be true, then Gerakan would be totally uprooted from Penang. I do not mean to denigrate or show disrespect to KTK but rather to assist him in doing a self “mystic” evaluation. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of face-reading can tell that KTK has the face of a scholar (??) and not that of a high Govt official (???)?When one career is not congruent with the dictates of destiny, the end result will be disappoint MCA, Gerakan and MIC do not even live up to their self-denigrated status of “beggars”.

By so doing, he risked losing his ministerial job and the “goodies” that went with the post.

He made very sure that he would only speak after he had stocked up enough wealth and after he had retired!

After finishing reading, you may want to compare with what that loud mouth Keng Yaik is talking now - yes garbage, nothing but garbage! If there is anything worth criticising, it is the way politicians and ex-politicians going about putting forth arguments on current issues of the day. It really amazes me they could be so patronising thinking that we Malaysians are all idiots. Take the Linggam tape episode as an example. Tun Dr. Mahathir said and I quote: “As to the video taping of VK Linggam, one should ask why this is done. Isn't it because of the intention to blackmail?" So, the whole Lingam tape episode is now about blackmailing, never mind that the tape has allegedly depicted misconduct and judge fixing. Never mind that there could be judicial appointments being brokered in the past and as a result the independence and impartiality the Judiciary have suffered irreparable damage. All these seem lesser evil than blackmailing that Mahathir is presently concerned with. Isn’t this a perverted logic? If we carry this argument a little further, how does accusation of blackmailing fit into the whistleblower legislation presently being contemplated by the government? After all, what is the function of whistleblowers and why the need to protect them? It is essentially to encourage insiders to report and disclose wrong doings and abuse of power/position that may otherwise go undetected. I really can’t see the logic of blackmailing in the realm of public administration or government decision-making. In all official functions, there should be no fear of blackmailing if the tasks were carried out dutifully and responsibly. It is only those that work "hand in glove", those that abuse, subvert, and corrupt that will accuse others of blackmailing. Are we not glad that Linggam’s conversation with whoever was taped and now exposed? I drag to think of the state of judiciary of this country if there was such an incident but no one has taped it or such a tape was destroyed before the public come to know about it. This was what i wrote earlier in another blog on Mahathir. After finishing reading, you may want to compare with what that loud mouth Keng Yaik is talking now - yes garbage, nothing but garbage!

If there is anything worth criticising, it is the way politicians and ex-politicians going about putting forth arguments on current issues of the day. It really amazes me they could be so patronising thinking that we Malaysians are all idiots.

Take the Linggam tape episode as an example. Tun Dr. Mahathir said and I quote: “As to the video taping of VK Linggam, one should ask why this is done. Isn’t it because of the intention to blackmail?”

So, the whole Lingam tape episode is now about blackmailing, never mind that the tape has allegedly depicted misconduct and judge fixing. Never mind that there could be judicial appointments being brokered in the past and as a result the independence and impartiality the Judiciary have suffered irreparable damage. All these seem lesser evil than blackmailing that Mahathir is presently concerned with. Isn’t this a perverted logic?

Those no longer in power or not holding any position of substance should be cast into garbage bin for good. There is not need to highlight, quote and comment on whatever they said. They are just smelly garbage. There is lots of difference between politicians in power/holding positions and those that do not.
