No words can adequately describe the shame and disgrace we face as we cry and cringe over a PM who is incompetent, irresponsible and integrity-lacking (notwithstanding all his pious platitudes!)

First things first, as usual.

1) AAB simply cannot MANAGE 3 different ministries! The span of control is just too much for a genius, let alone simple BAdawi, the ertswhile goatherd. It’s one thing to be a Finance Minister who understands macroeconomics and international economics; it’s quite another to have someone who has a mind no cleverer than a finance clerk! (Sorry, that’s no lie; that’s the absolute truth!). Heavens forbid! What a mess when the national burden falls upon such a clerical mind to sign the nation’s cheques! What scrutiny or what caution can he exercise when he doesn’t know what to ask or how to ask it and so falls back inevitably on those ever-so-familiar mouthfuls “semuanya ok?” and then proceeds to sign away the national coffers and projects!!! Years ago when Margaret Thatcher was in Malaysia, she said of ANwar Ibrahim: “The United Kingdom would be glad to have Anwar Ibrahim to be our Chancellor of the Exchequer”. That was before Mahathir decided to call all the shots and shot wide and loose. Whence cometh another Anwar Ibrahim?

2) “Unseen forces” at play? Which Harry Potter, which devil’s witch is holding our nation’s leader to ransom? Besides AAB’s abysmal lack of intellect, it’s also becoming more and more obvious his conscience has been numbed or deadened by events or things quite unknown to the Malaysian public. SO what we see as his ‘idiocy’ may conceal his total abdication to forces of expediency or compromise quite beyond his control. This shows up in sharp relief a PM who is undeniablly weak in character; ‘spineless, stupid and senseless’ too, without apology, to borrow someone else’s words used on the infamous NAzri. It is patent AAB is not a better Minister than any of his CAbinet members. This is a stark and horrendous tragedy in itself. A leader must be greater than his followers or risk being twirled on some witch’s finger (which seems to be the order of the day!). And so the weird sisters’ eerie chorus “Fair is foul and foul is fair; Hovers through the foul and filthy air” rings throughout Bolehland.

3) It is trite that when men play fast and loose with the nation’s weal and coffers, sooner rather than later there will be a day of reckoning! This may come in the shape and form of a stockmarket collapse or some other collapse of the national financial system because no nation can wave plain economics goodbye or turn a blonde eye to financial common sense. There is simply not enough for a free lunch for all for so long on a perpetual track of profligacy and insouciance. History confirms this. Not even the financial behemoth which is uSA can endure 2 ‘unnecessary’ (at least that’s arguable!) wars and unremitting deficits. Someone has to pay for the lunch. Someday, that someone will have to wake up and realize that no one is going to pay for his free lunch! So if USA’s finances can rock and shake and be brought to its knees, then isn’t Malaysia like chaff in the wind? Common sense-lah!

SO, Pak Lah, Sir – dear Premier, Finance Minister and Internal Security Minister – where is all that first-class intellect and first-class mentality which you are so blithely sermonizing about! Get real. This is a real and harsh world. You must know by now that 3 portfolios is just beyond yr depth judging by the increasing frequencies of yr “You don’t expect me to know that!”. Can we just simply tell you that if you don’t know, then you are simply not in control! That span of control dilemma again!

So for the sake of the nation’s well-being, Sir, have the COURAGE to pass on the baton; the CHARACTER to do what is RIGHT and the COMMON SENSE to sieve national priorities and separate crooks from the coffers.

YB LKS:
“Abdullah should realize that if Malaysians continue to see the perpetuation of the culture of impunity like previous mega scandals of “heinous crimes without criminals”, the Prime Minister’s campaign for integrity, accountability and good governance will be completely in tatters.”

The mainstream media is completely ‘oblivious’ (that’s euphemistic!)to these scandals. The bald truth is that the mainstream media is held to ransom by the government and systematically, slavishly covers-up these scandals. There is, as some say, madness in the methods!

Do you wonder why intrepid bloggers like Raja Petra Kamaruddin, Rocky Bru, Jeff Ooi and others carry on their ‘David-and-Goliath’ media battles with the powers that be? The rationale is simply this: the People have a right to know. It’s a government of, by and for the people! Not just the subset of putras in the UMNOPUTRAs!

I am trying to glean ‘dispassionately’ from the ‘exchange’ between Godfather and Realworld.

Fair exchange – tit for tat, tit for tat…but it’s simply going nowhere. To Realworld, truth must simply be backed by evidence but ‘hard’ evidence is not forthcoming from Godfather. Perhaps, Realworld, since you are so keen on evidence, I would like to suggest several things for yr immediate action before you go on and on in yr debate…I am not saying you sound like a broken record…but you should listen to it yrself. Read yr postings over again, see how it sounds.

Ok, firstly, as an appetizer, see RPK and asks to see all those Statutory Declarations from the PDRM Officers re IGP Scandal. Then, since you are a self-professed champion for truth, check it out with these Officers. The problem this ‘news’ cannot be found in any of the mainstream media is always a chicken-and-egg issue because the press is muzzled. So, investigative journalism is totally (ok, I concede, almost totally) absent. This is a crucial cog in the wheel of truth, quite necessary for the roll-out of hard evidence. Why do you think nobody, and I say it again, nobody ever dared to charge RPK for all those ‘damned lies, mad mistruths, dirty rumours and diseased, venomous speculations’ hurled by RPK must surely raise yr intelligent eyebrows? On the balance of probabilities (in the absence of tangible proof), any fly on the wall would be led to think that indeed no charge or suit has been made against RPK because if RPK has his say in court, the floodgates would be open and lo and behold, the PAndora box will fly open and out will jump not Jack-in-the-box but WORMS, crawlies – frothy, filthy and foul. Ask RPK for evidence because all the squealers go to him, not Godfather. This Godfather has no mafia connection – and so I think. But you can provoke RPK. Please do it. I like the way he put the ex-MB with two Muhamads in his name curled up and sheepish in his little corner. Now the whole world knows who is the ex-MB with two Muhammads in his name. And do you want hard evidence, ask RPK again. Better still, ask the ex-MB with two Muhammads in his name. This ex-MB with two Muhammads in his name did’nt refute any of RPK’s allegations. He merely said “these are old stories”. Do you think that after what this ex-MB with two Muhammads in his name has said this and never sought to challenge, contradict, deny or seek to expunge those statements, therefore confirms what RPK wrote to be facts and only facts even though no hard evidence has been produced. Unchallenged, the public will quite readily accept these old stories as facts though undeniably those events and the ‘evidence’ offered online are not current.

So, you see Realworld, it does not pay to prattle away mindlessly and turn a blonde eye to the realities around you. The Malays have a lovely way of calling these frogs (the ‘kataks dibawah tempurong’ breed, you know). Besides, most of us can spot a whore when we come face to face with one especially from their speech…in this case, from their writings. I am speaking here of cyber whores. I don’t wish to offend you by saying “Realworld, you are a cyber whore.” What I am only saying is “Realworld, don’t be one!”
