Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has successfully received enough nominations from UMNO divisions to become the party’s next President unopposed and thus paving way for him to be the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia come March 2009.
All that is left to say for now is congratulations to Najib and his UMNO cronies for a well played out tactic to ouster Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and commiserations to all Rakyat of Malaysia as discrimination and marginalization is set to continue till at least the next general election.
The Rakyat can’t be blamed for their doubts and mixed feelings on the incoming PM. It is like the country’s leadership and future is based on a choice of picking which is the best of the worst. Can’t believe that in this modern day and intellectual age we are merely resorting to choosing the least sour grape from the whole vineyard.
The present but outgoing PM, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, will hand over all his executive powers and duties come this March or don’t be surprised if he might be forced out of office even earlier right after conclusion of the now ongoing UMNO party election. What can be said of the 5 year Badawi administration??? Generally it can be described as weak and lame with a lot of indecisions and even with a very rarely quick decision, it was still marred with a lot of flip flopping. Universal symptoms of a man with weak principals, visionless and a coward for not having the balls to stand up against his subordinates when his decision is being questioned. Simplified, he lacks of leadership qualities. So it is not a surprise he was forced out of his seat not even a year into his second term as Prime Minister. Yes, can be said that being forced out mainly by his own party members from office is not really a nice thing though deservedly but he has no one to blame but himself.
The present deputy but soon to be Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak will take over the reigns in March if not earlier. Over the years of being Information Minister, Defence Minister and now Deputy Prime Minister has proven that this fellow might actually have a caliber of a proper Prime Minister albeit with a heavy stench of Mahathirism. The very fact that he is from the very same racist UMNO party does raise a lot of scepticism about his coming administration and the thought of him being just the mere puppet of Tun Mahathir has not helped the Rakyats’ confidence in him one bit. His alleged involvement in the murder of the Mongolian model Altantuya and the more recent Eurocopter deal scandal has definitely done him no favours.
Najib is an avid fan and fanatical supporter of the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ as seen in his famous ‘keris’ welding quote of having the blood of Chinese flowing through it is definitely a case for concern for not only the Chinese but for all other minority communities in Bolehland. Maybe under Najib we will soon have the Chinese ticking the column stating ‘squatters’ in forms to identify their race. Marginalisation of the Indian community would probably continue unless rumours of Najib practicing Hinduism then maybe it might get slightly better only for the Hindu Indians.
The one person the Rakyat have put hope on to bring about change has silently disappeared. Poor Raja Petra Kamarudin, he placed his faith and trust and has even gambled his freedom on this man but this time RPK maybe should have folded instead of playing this hand. Yes, the man mentioned here is Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Why has he been so silent after much promise of this and that??? Has his bluff finally been called on??? Maybe it is because of the rumoured return on Tun Mahathir that sent shivers down the spine of Anwar. Najib’s strong stench of eau-de-Mahathir-toilette might have been the turn off to Anwar’s plans to shaft Najib’s arse. Can’t blame Anwar though as the return of Tun Mahathir might shorten his new found freedom after all it was Mahathir that sent him to the slammers for 10 years. Or maybe it is the fact that Najib likes anal too so Anwar doesn’t really mind him.
Is there no hope for Malaysia???
Is there no one out there to champion our cause of Bangsa Malaysia???
Is there no caped crusader or knight in shining armour to come free us from these crooked racist UMNO villains???
Guess it is true that you shall reap what you sow. The inability of the Rakyat to come together to oust the tyrant UMNO goons is the cause of all the said oppression and marginalization experienced now. Credit should be given though to the opposition to have denied UMNO majority in the recent general election but coming close just isn’t really there is it. Yes, the Rakyat in the west may point fingers at those in the east for ignorantly continuing voting for the BN and given them victory but pinning blame isn’t going to make things different or better now is it.
We do have some ‘Bangsa Malaysia’ fighters amongst us. People like Raja Petra Kamarudin and Datuk Zaid Ibrahim are some good examples. Raja Petra who through his blog, Malaysia Toaday, have exposed many of the follies of our croked politicians and opened our eyes to this corrupt top level conspiracy. Even with the attempt to silence him through the draconian ISA detention in Kamunting he has already cause the ripple effect seen throughout the nation as more and more people are voicing out and standing up against the Government. Though he is now released we should not stop supporting him and the cause for a fairer and more transparent government. We should continue to rock the UMNO led Government boat.
Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s example of a politician with principles and the courage to stand up for it disregard of the consequences should be emulated by all politicians present and future. With Datuk Zaid’s relentless scrutiny against the ISA and the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ has seen him from being a minister with the post of de facto Law Minister and senator till now just a non portfolio Datuk but he has earned the love and respect of the Rakyat. Respect is something that is earned and not forced through fear. Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar should heed this advice, unleashing the ISA to cast fear on civilians will not earn their respect but instead retaliation. Despite of all adversities facing Datuk Zaid, he has not given up fighting and championing for race equality, abolishment of the ISA and the questioning of the ‘Ketuanan Melayu’ concept.
Another champion against the UMNO tyranny that should be mentioned is the Hindu Rights Action Force or Hindraf. They are a group of Indians fighting for the rights to end the marginalization that has plighted the Indian community till today. Sadly the Hindraf has since been banned by the ROS after they gate crashed Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his cabinet ministers’ Hari Raya open house. The gathering was a peaceful one but the presenting of a ‘Selamat Hari Raya’ festive wishing card and a soft toy teddy bear just didn’t sit well with the PM and his goons.
Hadn’t notice this before but it seems the UMNO abusing bully involved in all the stated events is Home Minister, Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar. He is the sorry arse that ordered for the detention of RPK under the ISA, strong critic of Datuk Zaid Ibrahim and the one who instructed ROS to take action against the Hindraf which ultimately led to its disbandment. This bald headed prick has got so much power being the Home Minister and is not afraid to abuse it against those who are anti UMNO. The incoming Najib administration will surely see him retaining his portfolio as the constitutionally legal oppressor.
As the days turns into nights and bring us closer to March 2009 when the lame administration changes hand to the C4 Najis administration, change for the better is the last thing that should be expected. In other words Chinese will continue being deemed as ‘squatters’, Indians will continue to be marginalized and those against UMNO will be considered a terrorist and subjected to the draconian ISA.
Things will not change if we the Rakyat keep resting our future on the shoulder of the few when the few actually needs our shoulders of the many to stand taller against the giant tyrant monster of UMNO.
My suggestion – Send Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar to face UN Human Rights Tribunal and for the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia – DATUK ZAID IBRAHIM!!!
To all politicians and ministers.....
