CT Ali upon Transformation, Reformation as well as Deformation
Najib Tun Razak reminds me of a small boy who wants to be liked as well as does all he can to greatfully everyone. He is for 1Malaysia. He is for Ketuanan Melayu. And he insists, yet display how, which a two have been compatible. In a process, he offends as well as antagonises both a Malays as well as non-Malays.
He has seen it fit to enter upon upon a enthusiastic path of transforming as well as reforming, riding his high equine similar to a apostolic avenger hell focussed upon eliminating any restriction upon a polite liberties as well as any barrier which will forestall a people from building their minds. Or so it seems. He would similar to us all to reason which he during last has heard what a rakyat wants as well as right away wants to do their bidding.
Suddenly, in 2011, a students have turn mature as well as responsible sufficient to dabble in politics. Suddenly, a ISA is no longer required as well as a PPPA is an anachronism from a dark age.
He runs full tilt into this reforming fervour yet understanding which one's enemy sometimes gives a single sufficient wire to hang oneself. Amazingly, he apparently cannot discuss it which he has already taken sufficient rope.
He speaks of transforming as well as reforming, yet he in actuality deforms. The Peaceful Assembly Bill is a box in point. If he had taken a bid to work out what a rakyat unequivocally want, afterw! ards he would have spared himself a insult of being told which his offer is more draconian than what Myanmar is doing. In fact, Myanmar is serious about a democratic reform.
So what does he do now? He was already basking in a excellence of announcing a bill, with grand assurances of grand intentions. Now he realises which it is easy to make known initiatives yet tough to make them happen.
So he tweaks them, similar to a single would tweak a carburetor of a car. But a last such automobile stopped production in a early 1990s. And this is a complaint with Najib. He thinks of a 1990s when people have been already in a 21st century. The ISA, PPPA as well as a law which violated a right to assemble should have been jettisoned well prior to a turn of a century.
So Najib is playing locate up. But will UMNO let him?What we would similar to to know is who advises Najib? Who looks during a pros as well as cons of introducing a Peaceful Assembly Bill as well as all a other initiatives he has voiced since receiving bureau in April, 2009?
I do not need Lim Kit Siang or Anwar to discuss it me which these have been not unequivocally initiatives, yet simply Najib playing to a gallery of voters. There is no need for a justice plea or a walk by a organisation of lawyers to discuss it me which a Peaceful Assembly Bill is an additional a single of those poorly configured moves which have been complicated upon PR as well as zilch upon substance.
Living a moment
Doesn't anybody discuss it Najib which he is creation of himself demeanour foolish when he replaces a draconian legislation with an additional draconian one? we would have thought which during slightest Idris Jala would have put his hands up as well as say, "Excuse me Datuk Seri, yet we consider we need to go by which PA Bill again." Or is he as well busy plugging up leaks?
Najib seems preoccupied to what is happening around him since he lives with a moment. He does not understand which he cannot be! all thi ngs to all people. And we cannot greatfully everybody. A personality does what is right as well as does it right. He leads with resolve as well as never vacillates.
Najib has a blog. we have a single too, as well as we know a volume of work required to make it relevant as well as engaging to people who we hope will read what we write. How much time does Najib spend upon his blog? we consider not sufficient to write even a single essay a week. And he says he talks to us by his blog. He even sends me emails to inform me about what is happening upon his blog.
Should we be beholden for this or should we see it for what it unequivocally is: a poor shot during "connecting" with us bloggers as well as a rest of a Internet community. It insults my intelligence. It is nonetheless an additional attempt by a Najib to seen as Mr Cool, as well as we am certain it costs a rakyat money. No, we have been not cool, Mr Prime Minister. You have been wasting a time as well as a income for no gain to we or to us.
Najib is caught up in lies of his own making. He pretends to be a blogger when he obviously is not. He makes himself reason which he is joining with a young when what he is he truly we do is acting out a instructions of his PR people.
Now this is what unequivocally worries me. If what we see have been a best of Najib's efforts after all, we must put forward your best bid for open consumptionwhat happens in a Cabinet? Do they take common shortcoming for stupidity?
All this depresses me. A Prime Minister similar to Najib depresses since it says much for what we have become. Are we in actuality a nation rebuilt to accept a Prime Minister as bland as an unsweetened tofufa?
Like Pak Lah, Najib is no orator, yet he tries. Like Pak Lah, Najib allows a interests of family as well as cronies to overrule those of a nation he governs. But Pak Lah was never tempted to reason onto to being budding apportion any longer afterwards what he viewed was his time to serve. Leaving Putrajaya was! easy fo r Pak Lah. It will not be so for Najib.
The Pak Lah lesson
Putrajaya is a sanctuary for Najib from his past follies. He needs Putrajaya as well as which is why he
does what he does. He must remain in Seri Perdana. If it requires him to skip a light fandango, he will do so.
Meanwhile, he nervously awaits a 13th General Election. He is not nervous not for a fate of UMNO or Barisan Nasional, yet for what it will bring him once a woman sings. Can we remember Najib nervously wiping his perspiring face while creation his RM$ 5 million offer to a people of Sibu to vote for BN not as well long ago?
Well, he is sweating buckets during a thought of a ubiquitous election since he knows he goes into battle with Pakatan Rakyat, corroborated by an UMNO which will only be as well pleased to see him fall. UMNO is not inclined to forgive of leaders who cannot deliver what they require to go on carrying their approach with a country. Ask Pak Lah.
