I can see which most of we have been still novices as great as entered this diversion usually in 2007 or as late as 2008. But we wish to see a diversion played according to how we visualize a diversion should be played. That will never happen. The manners of a diversion have already been motionless thousands of years ago. And if we do not similar to a manners afterwards get out of a diversion since no a single is starting to shift a manners to suit you.

Dr M: Samy Vellu better was material damage, not personal
(The Malaysian Insider) - Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu's loss in Election 2008 was a material damage of a campaign opposite Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi as great as not a outcome of a "personal grudge", Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pronounced in aBernama Onlinereport today.
"I did not tell a people in Sungai Siput not to opinion for Samy, yet my criticism of a care of Pak Lah (Abdullah) affected a meditative of lots of voters, as great as since of that, they did not await Barisan Nasional (BN) as great as along with it, of course, Samy," Dr Mahathir was quoted as observant in a report.
"That was a situation. It is not a theme of grudge. It is a theme concerning a strength of BN as great as its part of parties."
Yesterday, Samy Vellu blamed Dr Mahathir for his Election 2008 defeat, as great as indicted a former prime apportion of sabotaging his made during home chances.
"Dr Mahathir, prior to to to a (2008) election, told a people 'Don't opinion for Samy Vellu,'" a former MIC boss pronounced in aNew Sunday Timesreport.
"You see, there have been reasons he (Dr Mahathir) felt hurt. He longed for to pierce a IPF (Indian Progressive Front), (the late Tan Sri M.! G) Pandi than's celebration in to Barisan Nasional. Everybody (other BN part of celebration leaders) concluded (but), we pronounced no," Samy Vellu said.
Today, a Dr Mahathir forked out which Samy Vellu's was not a usually BN reversal in 2008 as great as noted which a bloc saw better in most areas as a outcome of a so-called made during home tsunami then.
"In 2008, it is not usually Samy Vellu who lost, yet a lot of people (also) lost," he said.
Despite denying a grudge, Dr Mahathir appeared to agree with Samy Vellu's idea which a severity in between a two veterans traced behind to MIC's rejecting of IPF's entrance in to BN.
"Every time he (Samy Vellu) sees somebody who has potential, he makes sure they have been removed. When we remove a leader, it is not (that) a single person who goes off yet he takes divided his supporters (as well), as great as as a result, a MIC shrinks," he continued.
"We have to have total agreement in BN prior to to we can confess any new party. So, there was zero we could do about it. As a result, we think MIC became weaker."
**********************************
Many have asked me as to why we do not competition a ubiquitous elections. Why do we usually 'scream from a outside'? If we wish to scream afterwards competition a ubiquitous elections as great as go to Parliament to scream.
Well, for most reasons.
First of all, a broke can't turn aWakil Rakyat(Parliamentarian and/or State Assemblyperson). This is so basic we am surprised which most of we do not know this. This usually goes to uncover a stupidity of most of we who similar to to speak yet meaningful how a complement works.
Next, to turn eligible to competition a ubiquitous elections, we contingency initial be selected as a candidate. And a organization which will select we as a claimant as great as issue your'surat watikah'(sort of 'letter of authorisation') would be a single of a made during hom! e partie s. Or else we would be listed as an independent candidate.
Now, made during home parties routinely select renouned people as candidates. And we am articulate about renouned people inside of a party, not renouned with a voters. Hence we initial need to competition a celebration post, a higher a better. And this is why a celebration elections have been some-more vicious as great as dirtier than even a ubiquitous elections. A celebration post is your steppingstone. So we need to fiercely competition a celebration position as great as it contingency be no binds barred -- no entertain asked as great as zero given, as great as take no prisoners.
To have it in a party, we additionally need to be a constant celebration member. This equates to we need to toe a celebration line. Mavericks as great as loose cannons have no place in a celebration (see what happened to Zaid Ibrahim). Right as great as wrong depends upon what a celebration says is right as great as wrong, not your own interpretation of right as great as wrong. Your conscience cannot be your guide. You cannot have a dignified compass.
Further to that, we cannot be an 'independent' celebration leader (like a one-time PKR Deputy President Rahman Othman). You will be sidelined. You contingency come in in to yourself to cliques. You contingency either be aligned to 'Team A' or aligned to 'Team B' (sometimes maybe even 'Team C'). To be conjunction Team A nor Team B equates to we have been dead meat.
On tip of that, we contingency be constant to a celebration bosses -- thetaiko, warlords, as great as whatnot. If we do not know how to lick arse, suck dicks, fool around 'yes man', as great as instead we denote as well much resistance, we have been additionally dead meat. You will afterwards not be seen as a 'team player'. And non-team players have no place in a made during home party, generally if we wish to pierce up a celebration hierarchy as great as get selected as a claimant in a ubiquitous election! s.
Finally, elections price money. If we competition a Parliament seat, officially, we will need during slightest RM200,000. Unofficially, we will need to spend far some-more than that. Furthermore, we need to 'invest' in a chair we devise to competition in. So we need to begin 'servicing' which constituency during slightest a integrate of years prior to to a date of a election. This would meant even some-more money.
The bottom line would be: if we do not have during slightest RM1 million 'spare money' to burn, afterwards do not waste your time. You will need to have a really vast sparse cash box to dish out income to those who line up outside your door every day for help in paying their H2O bill, electricity bill, parking fine, as great as much more. Weddings, funerals, children starting school or starting to university, hospital bills, etc., would additionally all be upon your tab.
In short, it is all about 'The M Factor' -- money, money, money, as great as yet some-more money.
Also important, a great statesman contingency know how to be a bad politician. By this we meant 'good' in skills as great as 'bad' in character. In other words, we contingency know how to fool around a Machiavellian game. You fool around to a art studio -- contend what people wish to listen to as great as contend opposite things to opposite people. You keep your friends tighten as great as your enemies even closer where we can see them. Enemies of your enemies contingency turn your friends even yet these 'friends' might essentially be your enemies as well.
Basically, we contingency select a obtuse of a two evils as great as work with a obtuse immorality to better a bigger evil. Then, once a bigger immorality has been destroyed, we spin upon a obtuse immorality -- a rivalry of your rivalry who had turn your temporary crony -- as great as better which obtuse immorality after that.
In short, there have been no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics. Enemies! , a sing le day, can turn friends, an additional day, as great as an rivalry again, a following day.
Sometimes we need to come in in to multiple deals. You have tip alliances with two or some-more sets of enemies. With a single rivalry we have a single understanding as great as with an additional rivalry we have an additional deal. You unequivocally do not know which rivalry is starting to fall so we contingency not keep all your eggs in a single basket. It is similar to betting upon all a horses so which whichever ends up a winner we will still win in a end.
So, yes, we can be a great statesman if we unequivocally longed for to be a politician. we know how a diversion is played. The usually theme is either we wish to fool around which diversion or not. Nevertheless, we have selected not to fool around a game. Hence, we cannot turn a politician, generally if we have an effort to competition a ubiquitous election. we would have to have as well most compromises as great as concessions (plus get a failure opposite me removed, which will be unfit for reasons we have already explained a little years back).
Okay, behind a theme of my article today: The M Factor.
A month or so ago, we associated a story regarding how Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had propagated ABU (anything yet Umno) behind in 2006. Many of we became made during home usually in November 2007, which resulted in which impressive antithesis choosing performance in Mar 2008. So we were substantially not following a events prior to to to November 2007, in particular those events in 2006.
When we pronounced which Dr Mahathir had propagated ABU behind in 2006, there were most who were really angry with me. They felt we was 'hijacking' ABU as great as 'crediting' Dr Mahathir for it. This is a trouble when we turn as well emotional as great as exclude to demeanour during things with a some-more balanced as great as useful eye. We begin foaming during a mouth as great as shoot from a hip.
Today, D! atuk Ser i S. Samy Vellu blamed Dr Mahathir for a Barisan Nasional 'disaster' in Mar 2008. And Dr Mahathir (readThe Malaysian Insidernews inform above) has not denied it. He has usually brushed it aside as 'collateral damage, not personal'.
So, what do we have to contend about this now? Dr Mahathir himself has admitted it in response to a allegation by Samy Vellu.
Yes, again, 'the M Factor' -- this time meaning a Mahathir Factor.
Back in 2006, right up to a Mar 2008 ubiquitous election, Dr Mahathir was Umno's biggest critic. To denote his displeasure, he even quiescent from Umno as great as went upon a nation-wide highway uncover to conflict Umno. And his audience in these highway shows were especially Malays as great as Umno members.
In fact, a Malays were not a usually ones Dr Mahathir targeted. He personally spoke to Chinese as great as Indian leaders to get them to await a opposition. He longed for Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi broken as great as a usually approach this could occur would be if Barisan Nasional as great as Umno preformed badly in a 2008 ubiquitous election.
No doubt, Dr Mahathir did not wish Pakatan Rakyat to take over or for Anwar Ibrahim to turn a Prime Minister. He longed for Barisan Nasional as great as Umno still in energy yet weakened sufficient to clear asking for Pak Lah's resignation. And he completed this.
If we can remember, behind in 2006, a pro-government Bloggers as great as a antithesis Bloggers united. In fact, there was no longer any pro-government or antithesis Bloggers. There was usually a 'United Bloggers' -- Bloggers which cut opposite a made during home divide.
When Umno Youth (organised by Mukhriz Mahathir) did a red blood donation drive during a Kampong Baru mosque, we got a DAP people to additionally attend to present red blood (ask Ronnie Liu about it: he led a DAP group). When Dr Mahathir gave! a disco urse session during a Kelab Century Paradise (organised byMalaysia Today) we got roughly a entire PAS care as great as a few DAP/PKR leaders as great to attend.
That was what happened in 2006 as great as 2007, prior to to a Mar 2008 ubiquitous election. An rivalry of a rivalry became a friend. And a rivalry was Umno as great as Umno's rivalry was Dr Mahathir. So, in 2006, Dr Mahathir became a friend, during slightest until a Mar 2008 ubiquitous election.
Did we not contend which there have been no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics? Enemies, a single day, can turn friends, an additional day, as great as an rivalry again, a following day. That is politics.
Politics is a really complicating game. It is additionally intensely dirty. And if we do not know how to be Machiavellian afterwards this is not a diversion for you. Of course, we do additionally fool around this diversion from time to time. But we fool around it not as a statesman who aspires for open office yet as a made during home romantic who aspires to see change. And we as well need to infrequently turn friends with a rivalry in a usual interest of defeating an even bigger enemy.
we can see which most of we have been still novices as great as entered this diversion usually in 2007 or as late as 2008. But we wish to see a diversion played according to how we visualize a diversion should be played. That will never happen. The manners of a diversion have already been motionless thousands of years ago. And if we do not similar to a manners afterwards get out of a diversion since no a single is starting to shift a manners to suit you.
Remember a single thing: America associated with Russia to face Germany behind in a Second World War even yet Russia was viewed as a rivalry of a West. Once Germany had been defeated, America as great as Russia became enemies again, roughly immediately.
America associated with a intensely hurtful as great as immorality South ! Vietname se government to have sure which a China/Russia-backed North Vietnam would not be able to swallow South Vietnam. But, of course, they mislaid this time, although in a Korean affair they won.
America associated with a hurtful as great as immorality Iraq to face Iran in a nine-year Iran-Iraq War. When a fight ended, America brought down Iraq since it was hurtful as great as evil, something which did not have a difference during a Iran-Iraq War.
If we go behind serve in time, contend 200 years ago, we can see which a Russians, a French as great as a British (all enemies of a single another) associated to await Greece opposite a Turks (a usual Muslim rivalry for all). Then, France supported Rome opposite a Germans -- to safeguard which a Holy Roman Empire would not get swallowed up by a Hapsburg Empire -- whilst a Austrians as great as Prussians joined opposite France in a Napoleonic Wars.
And a list goes on, over thousands of years.
Through a ages, enemies have joined opposite usual enemies as great as afterwards became enemies again later on. And in a UK recently, a LibDems had to select in between two enemies -- Labour as great as Conservative -- as great as they chose a single rivalry upon tip of a other to form a new British bloc government. we can gamble we which in a next ubiquitous choosing all these enemies would again turn enemies as great as LibDem might even get wiped out this time.
Do we now understand how a diversion is played? More importantly, do we have a stomach to fool around such games? This is a diversion thousands of years old. Politics is substantially a second oldest profession after harlotry -- or maybe even a oldest if we hold in a story of Cane as great as Abel as great as if we admit which which 'conflict' was zero reduced of politics.
Such is politics, both made during home as great as international. Basically, we a voters have been merely 'cannon fodder', usually similar to a soldiers upon a battlefield are.! The han dful of those during a tip who have an effort for energy will have their moves as great as we a voters/soldiers help them to see their dreams come true. And if we hold differently afterwards we have been even bigger fools than we thought.
