The Brave New World of Fat4

It is interesting that Malaysia will soon the second Thailand of South East Asia as they too seek the court for answers rather than the people. Personally, that is the furthest away from the principles of Democracy. The last time something disastrous that has happened when the courts area allow to decide is to allow a war criminal by the name George Bush to run a country.

Recently I have told a few friends that if I were to choose a political party that I would be interested in serving, it would definitely be MCA. Frankly, it is not as bad a party as some chinese would disasterously describe. For example, look at all the work that has been accomplished by Datuk Michael Chong. There could be more than one Michael Chong in Malaysia and so far no person from the Pakatan Rakyat has proven their worth.

I note with interests that there are some blogs who championed the issue of Kugan to the extent that from an unknown car thief to become a pillar, a hero where ordinary folks take interests in death in custody.

For once, people have came out and said that regardless of who Kugan is, we should have given him equal rights like you and me should we be ever incarcerated. Many may have easily forgotten about the crimes that Kugan had committed. I am not certain if carjacking is one of them. Nor am I sure if he had ever do other more terrifying crimes for that matter. So now a villian’s family can sue the government for damages. And what better timing after HINDRAF issue has die down to use another character to politically assassinate the ruling government. Occassionally it is underhand methods like these being used by some quarters of the oppositions which would make me think twice about voting for them in the coming election.

It seems that the ultimate conclusion to this whole saga would once again fall on the Sultan’s hand. As former Mentri Besar, Mohd Nizar has seek a royal audience to inform the Sultan of the motions passed at a supposedly emergency assembly which was held under a tree 200 metres away from State Secretariat building.

Now, I am not well verse in constituitional law and henceforth I should not comment if the above is done rightly so or it is just playing on assumption of intepretation of laws.

But in any regard, the previous PR state government calling for a state dissolution is a good call as it will eventually shift the entire focus back to the rakyat and let the rakyat once again speak on this issue. Afterall, Perak has not only been a media circus for the past few months, in that it may eventually be used in many other places, not just Malaysia as a reference on how things will be resolved if such political impasse were to happen once again.

It is amazing how some people still think we are in the pre-march 8th era. They think they can get away with pulling fast ones. Occasionally I do question the logic. If any indications, the previous election, the rakyat had shouted loudly that they do want change. For those who feared change and saw the changes that 8th March has brought about, they too would fear less in the coming election. In some ways, Malaysia political landscape has changed substantially.

People are more informed. In many ways, the battleground has been the internet. If one were to ask me to name one contribution that our current PM, Abdullah Badawi has done, it is to give the rakyat a choice. Badawi has participated in only two elections as a PM. He has performed a feat where no other PM had done. One he has won the most resounding election BN has ever seen. Followed by one of the most devastating election BN has ever seen.

It is rather interesting to see politicians on both side of the fence playing the greyest areas of law and see who will win the control of the state. No doubt BN has the greater numbers of assemblymen and women who would vote them into power. However as the assembly is not in any session, so there was nothing BN could do to officially topple the previous PR government.

The speaker exercised one of its rare power and suspend the supposedly new MB and exco members. In this instance, if the assembly were to convene, then unfortunately for the BN, PR is able to vote itself in again and hence the swearing in ceremony.
