Look around you and you’ll see the many types of Malays, let alone the other races. I am speaking for myself as a citizen of the once beloved country that I’m proud of. <BR/>(I remembered at one time not too long ago, the rakyat of all races were all proud of carrying the jalur gemilang on their vehicles during the Merdeka celebrations. <BR/>But the last Merdeka was not of the same picture. Not anymore).<BR/>Now that the rakyat have all spoken, I am astounded by the reaction from those high up in their fat, lazy chairs. 5 states were given up, and yet it’s life as usual. Where is their accountability as our previously elected leaders my friends? <BR/>I am surprised by the comfort level everyone has taken. <BR/><BR/>Yup, “we’ll all stand by our able leader, the one and only”. <BR/><BR/>(Now, that causes nausea and I want to puke). <BR/><BR/>Question is, until when? <BR/><BR/>Just one term after our visionary Tun Mahathir (Malaysia’s first able leader who swung the country onto the world map if you can remember) and our ‘able government’ have seconded the 5 important states to the so called opposition.<BR/> <BR/>They are not anymore an opposition in my mind, they are now our ‘second in line’.<BR/><BR/>During the campaigning period, the leaders especially from UMNO spoke bad about the opposition. But as a matter of fact, they were the ones who did all the bad-mouthing and character assassinations. They ran advertisements stating of ‘their’ ‘achievements’ over 50 years of independence. Haven’t they heard of <BR/>“Lembu punya susu, sapi punya nama”! <BR/><BR/>If they think the rakyat, especially the Malays are still thinking ala 1957s, they were wrong. The new breed is worldly, global and progressive. <BR/>And most importantly is no more a ‘ kerbau yang boleh ditarik hidungnya’ of old.<BR/><BR/>Not that the so called ‘competition’ were of real characters ala Obama or Clinton; we the people were left with no choice. All the coffee-shop talks you might want to call them, (sort them out for yourself, the cronies, corruption, the arrogant stance, the hypocracy, the son-in-law, the newly branded Islam to name but a few) have only resulted in a clear definite choice. <BR/>I am one Malay, a Malaysian who will stand for what is right, and if I did wrong I’d admit my shortcomings and promise to correct and improve. But look at ourselves, not a word of apology, nor a sense of urgency to rectify the future. <BR/>I am impressed for all the wrong reasons.<BR/>Please (old) folks, we can’t win the world by just great oratory theories during the UMNO general assemblies. <BR/>We stood by our previous leaders simply because they delivered. They were and still are our pride of the nation. Until today. Each has brought the country up to the next level.<BR/><BR/>I am sure that a lot of the new Malays (even in the body of UMNO herself) supported what Datuk Mukhriz did. But being Malays that we are, we have to keep to tradition by keeping mum or ‘close one eye’ ala that Malacca MP.<BR/><BR/>(Now I’m numb. Still not dumb).<BR/><BR/>I salute you Datuk Mukhriz but I’m just one of that many ordinary new Malays. <BR/><BR/>No APs, no preference, no fear, therefore what favour?<BR/><BR/>This boy is now in the line of fire from the ranks.<BR/>The UMNO brass is now thinking of letting go the brave young Datuk, and the head of Pemuda will sure beat the drums and do the war dance again ; <BR/>but fret not we Malays.<BR/><BR/>(Hmm, birds of a feather sticks together.)<BR/><BR/>This is the type of leader who will bounce back when the time comes, and you’ll see the same people crying wolf toeing the line, in queue of ‘full undivided support’ behind ‘the then most able’ new leader. With the way things are going, it’ll sooner than that no pressure slow-cooker up there can and able to think of.<BR/><BR/>Datuk Mukhriz, if they let you go so be it. <BR/><BR/>Just like what your father did. <BR/><BR/>And went through.<BR/><BR/>Don’t they ever forget that we’ll all still be here for the next round.<BR/><BR/>The Chinese hates the number 13. But if they, the ‘ no-pressure’ leaders of today keep to this same high-handedness attitude, that’ll be as a matter of fact a lucky number for all of us Malaysians!<BR/><BR/>The 1 million dollar (oops, Ringgit) question now is, when you return next for the PRU13 in 2013, are we ie. what the UMNO leaders like to term ‘ the people who sticks with tradition’ going to keep this tradition alive by keeping the incumbent, passe leaders of UMNO as our untouchables, or otherwise?<BR/><BR/>Oh plllease…(read in a sleazy tone)!<BR/><BR/>I wish us all Malays, and Malaysians the best of luck for the future.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rams609<BR/>Kuala Lumpur.rams609https://www.blogger.com/profile/13017550127934146135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-28455250732022360982008-03-17T16:33:00.000+08:002008-03-17T16:33:00.000+08:00I agree with Mukhriz.

Remember the last time after Daddy criticized PM? Mukhriz kept quiet and he got a lot of flak too. If he keeps quiet, he loses cos Daddy won't stop.<BR/><BR/>So maybe this time he thinks its better to come out in the open - he can't lose. If UMNO sacks him, he already won Jerlun so he's still the MP and looks heroic/martyr/victim. But if UMNO doesn't sack him and AAB later resigns, then he will be remembered as the first one who was brave enough to take on the PM and his son in law ! <BR/><BR/>Either way, he can't lose....

And the new government of Penang is just a new born baby whihc need all the support of the people. How come UMNO Penang is acting so uncivilise and thank god that penang was ruled by Dr.Koh and not UMNO leaders previously.

This is a very sound country with very sound principles if the intent of our policies are run diligently without being tainted with the politics of power play, greed and self interest. When too many power hungry and ambitious people get a taste of power they can go crazy and lose all sense of propriety. What a shame, we do have some good people but tainted by some greedy and self serving lot. <BR/>I think Pak Lah should take heed of the GE12 results and the unbecoming squabbles happening among the elected YBs. He should not be so lembik and nice, but start asserting himself. He is a level headed and centered person, honest (lurus bendul is not far from the truth)but that doesn't mean anyone can go over his head. How disrespectful and kurang ajar. Give him a chance to reflect the results of the election and come up with his reparatory plans for the govt. We can also consider an alternative viewpoint that there has always been a plot to topple him because of what he is trying to achieve - transparency, no corruption, cronyism, nepotism, dedicated service and to serve rakyat not self. Some people may be too comfortable in their niches and domains and did not like to be exposed or having to forego some perks that they are enjoying all these while. So without Pak Lah, maybe the comfortable status quo will continue? For obvious reasons.<BR/><BR/>Don't go yet Pak Lah, go after those who are trying to oust you and replace them. You should have reflected enough by now to know who are the musuh dalam selimut. We are curious too. If you can't do that then maybe it is because you yourself want to relinquish the position on your own accord soon.<BR/><BR/>God Speed, Pak Lah. If you have our interest at heart, whatever you do will be the right thing. We need you to make sure there are no "leakages" in implementing the 9MPlan...our future is in your hands.
