Malays more special than Arabs in Islam?
"What sluggards, what cowards have I brought up in my court, who care nothing for their allegiance to their lord. Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?" - King Henry IILast year Perak's Chief Mufti claimed that Malays are ‘special’ because they are related to Islam, unlike the Arabs, some of whom are Christians. Presumably his 'Malays' are thus…
The lottery of Malaysian justice
A couple of years ago I was shocked by the severity of the sentence handed down to a man convicted of stealing 11 cans of beer worth a total of RM70 – see my post 5 years jail for RM70 theft where I wrote:That’s an over-the-top heavy handed judgement by the Yang Ariff. It’s monstrously out of proportion to the…
Enough rope to talk to ghosts
They say if you give a man (or woman) enough rope, he (or she) will hang herself.Guess this applies to Anwar Ibrahim. I am of course referring to that millstone around his neck called Israel.But before I come to that, I want to share with you what I believe to be one of Anwar’s weaknesses (& he has several). From…
Political wolf in sheep's clothing
Once again RPK is titillating us with his latest juicy revelations in EPISODE 8: The man behind PKR (Part 2), a story of John Soh as the man pushing Anwar into real reforms. Hmmm, I wonder whether John Soh is, as I was told, Datuk Lamb wakakaka (yes, lamb as in sheep's baby).In Peter's (RPK) story we are informed that…
Subliminal attacks against Lim Guan Eng
The Malaysian Insider’s Target: Lim Guan Eng by Whistleblower 57 reported that:Team Najib have identified ... [Lim Guan Eng] ... as a main target, a real problem for them in the coming general elections.In the power circles in Putrajaya Lim Guan Eng is a problem not only in Penang but in urban areas and even in East Malaysia where the…
Malaysia the Pot & USA the Kettle
The Malaysian Insider - Malaysia two-faced in Saudi blogger saga, says US paperOf course The Washington Post has been absolutely correct in labelling our government, as demonstrated by the brazen blatant bullsh*tting Home Minister, Hishamuddin Tun Hussein, a “champion of double-talk” for denying the Malaysian courts had barred the deportation of Saudi Arabian blogger Hamza Kashgari.The Malaysian High Court’s order…
Valentine's Day's wild sex romps & orgies
Malaysiakini's Valentine's Day raid nabs five couples in Selangor reported:Five couples were picked up by the Selangor Islamic Affairs Department (Jais) and the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) in an early morning anti-vice raid that was apparently timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day today. [...]The operation dubbed ‘Petaling district level 6th anti-vice campaign’, saw the participation of 85 enforcement officers…
Leadership dilemma of Pakatan Rakyat
Is Pakatan Rakyat so bereft of suitable leaders to lead the coalition that it must rely solely on Anwar Ibrahim?Even to many of his 'supporters', Anwar Ibrahim is acknowledged to be (grudgingly) NOT the correct person to become PM in the event Pakatan wins majority rule, yet they persist, rationalizing (in Malaysia-Today’s publishing of my post The elephant in ABU)…
The elephant in ABU
This morning, I read RPK’s two posts, Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do and Imagine.Needless to say, the former ruffled a few Chinese feathers when RPK wrote:I can see that many Chinese are prepared to accept the slight corruption and slight everything else in the interest of kicking out a Malay government. This sounds like…
Zaid Ibrahim's 3 steps to redemption
Malaysiakini - Zaid: I regret challenging Azmin for PKR deputyOnce reviled as an apostate (though not of Islam but) of ‘man man lai-ism’, Zaid was the very epitome of a syaitan-ish frog which came from the UMNO pits of hell to challenge the PKR consecrated Messiah and his Chosen One.That he resigned from his position as Law Minister on principles,…
Mini tsunamis of GE-13
Wakakaka!When I posted Next MB of Kedah some 3 weeks ago, it was first picked up by Malaysia-Today and then Harakah. I suppose they had either thought I was on to something wakakaka or it was an amusing post.But now my matey Ong Kian Ming, a political scientist, mentioned the same thing in a forum at Bangsar which was reported…
Tok Ampu's
What is common in the following 3 kaytee posts?(1) Next MB of Kedah wakakaka,(2) Rakyat as a 3rd Force?(3) MGR-ism at its worst!In the first I wrote: He will also, like Dad when he was PM, receive garlands as big as the Garden of Eden wakakaka.In the second I wrote: A simple example of this feudalistic relationship shows in the…
A tale of two (types of) loyalties
It has been some years since I heard this story from a PKR member who in turn claimed to have heard it from the horse’s mouth. Who's the horse? Soon you will find out wakakaka.In May 2003, during Nurul Izah’s wedding, there was a celebration (jamuan makan?) at her parents’ place. Needless to say, the number of invited guests and…
A leopard never changes its spots?
Malaysia-Today (M2D) - Power vs Authority, a letter to M2D on alleged corruption in Selangor by Hakim Joe. Selected extracts as follows:It is a sad day for the Selangor State Government after the Menteri Besar was “persuaded” to abandon the investigations of impropriety and misconduct into the organization and management of the Pasar Larut Malam @ Jelatek where an undisclosed…
MCA, for want of a nail
For Want of a NailFor want of a nail the shoe was lost.For want of a shoe the horse was lost.For want of a horse the rider was lost.For want of a rider the message was lost.For want of a message the battle was lost.For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.And all for the want of a horseshoe…
Penang's Chap Goh Meh
OK, tonight is special in Penang, the final hours of the Chinese New Year celebrations, so I have posted for you Chap Goh Meh in Penang over at my other blog, KTemoc Kongsamkok . I hope you'll enjoy reading it ;-)
Chinese dogs and prostitutes
Yesterday, Malaysiakini published Tiew: Ibrahim Ali did it on purpose.Tiew disgusts me kau kau. It’s not as if he doesn’t know what Perkasa stands for and what Ibrahim Ali had said against Chinese Malaysians. And for him to deny that he was clueless about Perkasa’s Chinese New Year Open House has been the absolute pits, unless he's an idiot of…
Much ado about a 'shitty little country'
Israel.On the surface it seems to be a silly issue for UMNO (in the person of either Najib or more prominently, Dr M) and Anwar Ibrahim to be quarrelling over. In the acrimonious circumstances which always surround the question of Israel, it’s not a case of “Anything you can do, I can do better” but rather “Anything you did, I…
A letter to Hasan Hau Siau
Malaysiakini - Hasan: DAP will merge M'sia, S'pore into republic.Dear Hasan matey,I don’t mean to rebut your holiness wakakaka, but when if (wakakaka) DAP takes over Putrajaya, I’ve been reliably informed (wakakaka) it’ll do the following:(a) It will remove graft, making this national ailment its No 1 priority task, which, I have been warned, may cause a number of cardiac…
Bangsa Ber-Pancawarna
In Australia whenever I met someone new who is a fellow SE Asian, or even from the Far East, and reveal myself as a Malaysian, he/she would invariably exclaim in delightful admiration: “Oh, you guys can speak several languages!”Though I’d smile, and not without some considerable pride at our Boleh-ness, perhaps the one sole qualification worthy of being proud about,…
