Instability - Politics & Economics

As it rained hailstones 2 nights ago in Ipoh, which most of us would deem as a force of nature and the ever changing environment and to many of us , "the silent majority", is deemed as a bad omen if you believe in the occult and the mystics or is this merely superstition.

The ever changing political horizon to date has not abated with UMNO in disarray, MCA silent, Gerakan senior member resigning, MIC trying for cheap publicity and PPP totally nuked. Much can be said or expected from the new Pakatan Rakyat with Lim Guan Eng preparing himself for jail, DAP in Perak in shambles from the tantrums of Buntong, Selangor government drawing flak from their policies and Ronnie Liu suggesting withdrawing the earlier promise of cancellation of summons by MB and the Kedah government does not want to conrtribute to tourism as promised by the former government and the list goes on and on and the political circus is for the world to watch and pass judgement on our Malaysian incompetence in handling ourselves.

As the storm is brewing in the East coast of Sabah and Sarawak with Jeffery Kitingan claiming that Sabah based political parties are about to jump ship and join the new pakatan, thus publicly claiming mutiny on the federation of Malaysia and Paklah rumoured to have bought 90 suit cases of who knows what (plse use yr imagination) to appease the Gods of Intimidation for fear of annilihation, could some one please enlighten the general hard working public about the future of the country and the political reform of direction she is taking.

With Tun Mahathir and Mukhriz openly challenging the present leadership and UMNO seems to be under siege for the next 6 months pending the General Assembly and power brokers are having a field day while agents and sub agents plot for a bigger chunk of the economic pie, literally speaking, the country has gone or destined for armageddon (worst case senario) or to a definate symptoms of cracking up (worse than MRR2). The year 2008 is gone and kaput since March 8th and the dawn of 2009 is around the corner but does anyone realise the kind of shit we are in with all this power grabbing rampage??? And for Khir Toyo to publicly declare that he has done nothing wrong for the past few years tantamounts to sacrilege or please get him a good defense lawyer. Smart people would normally shut up and only the stupid with do the opposite.

In a democracy, doesnt any politician know that "iron fist", reigns supreme but disguised in goodies and handouts - tow the line and reap the ill gotten profit or die standing if you fight me?
Does this country have such a leader or is he still in hibernation or in disguise or is PAKLAH the man for the job or better Tun Mahathir making a come back to redeem us all and maybe Dato Seri Anuar is the messiah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To date, the ever faithful young son in law being rightly or wrongly accused must be given some slack as no doubt very well educated and smart but still lacks the PR aspect to his character and history has shown that ruthlessness (smiling tiger syndrome) is the order of the day admist civil societies and if you cannot take the heat get out of the kitchen or is you cannot be a "real bastard", please do not get involved with politics.

Young man with ego and aspirations and ambition must also come with a sound and articulate mind to rule the ruse of the day and the more friends (plus enemies in disguise) u make or buy will entrench your position.

Maybe all our potential politicans could go to MPH and buy the book by Lee Kuan Yew and learn a thing or two since most of us hate his guts but hey, was LKY wrong???

To rule with an iron fist and crush all rebellion should be the order of the day and get back to the business of running the country successfully instead of every other alternate day some stupid person with throw a monkey's wrench into the system.

This reminds me of the 2008 US Presidential Election i.e. the 3 am phone call.

Has anyone in Putrajaya everthought of making peace with the old man and his balding son, what does it cost to make peace and would it be worth it? Make peace at all cost as the devil or the savior is waiting outside the door in the form of Pakatan Rakyat. This would at least cool down the hot spots and at the same time talk about the succession plan and make an announcement to appease the grass roots and for Gods sake do something. Preserve and perservere your lineage KJ as Paklah has no son to take over his legacy, if there is one after December or sooner should Tengku gets his wish for the EGM.

We are just ordinary folks trying to make an honest daily living and it bleeds my heart to see such childish display of affection, supposedly good for the country and in the name of reform. Think of the country, her citizen, her economy, international scrutiny etc.

And for Gods sake, please announce an action plan for the whole country except Penang and Kelantan (as the destruction is total) and get the former wakil rakyat, umno youth, mb's to start mobilizing reforming measure and initiatives and please do not sit on your fat ass akine to menunggu durian luruh or worst waiting for the cows to come home.

Of course at the end of the day, who is gonna fund all this re-engineering moves and all politicians will lament - "Tak ada duit le", when they can affored Rm3k suits, rolex, posh cars, drivers, 2nd n 3rd wives, and dine elegantly but when it comes to real patriotism - "MANA ADA SAUDARA, BAIK JAGA DIRI SENDIRI ATTITUDE".

Again I am resigned to my fate and the rest of Malaysians for tomorrow is definately not a better day for what's left is only HOPE.

"The Silent Majority", does not care who governs Malaysia (the devil for all we care) but must be done in the right and proper manner and what is happening is totally disgusting.

Inilah nasib negaraku Malaysia yang disayangi.
