No Elections yet, only Acts of Desperation
by Rom Nain (09-29-12)@www.malaysiakini.com
The recent uncorroborated, shameful as good as positively groundless allegations about international conspiracies as good as takeover plots illustrate a single elementary situation sheer desperation.
And it is clear which those politically-owned media unethically concocting as good as sensationalising these allegations would not have dared to make such allegations had they not been owned as good as controlled by their BN domestic masters.
Thus, we can safely pretence which dark hands were as good as still have been during play. Indeed, as a single of their shameless spinners put it upon Friday: Nothing personal, as any statesman would say, purely a commercial operation of politics.
But because a desperation? Indeed, after dishing out millions of OUR money in a form of BR1M, cash handouts to students as good as pensioners as good as even some-more being dished out in Friday's Budget why, indeed, is this system of administration still scared of confronting a rakyat in a 13th general election?
So scared that, notwithstanding dogmatic as good as bragging which it is a democracy, it hits out during genuine pro-democracy polite multitude organisations with much-prouder records than a system of administration has ever had.
Well, perhaps right away is a great time to remind ourselves as good as those who have been still unsure because this system of administration is, indeed, feeling desperate. First, in a Mar 2008 elections, it mislaid a two-thirds infancy in Parliament as good as additionally saw 5 states (until Perak was 'recaptured' under indeterminate circumstances) as good as a Federal Territory o! f Kuala Lumpur fall to a Pakatan coalition.
Now, which was a sour pill to swallow. And, certainly, there was ruin to pay, as
a then-Prime Minister, (Tun) Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (right), shortly found out. Indeed, about a year later, he was not so many shown a door as he was probably booted out by a same organisation as good as women who, after a virtual landslide feat for BN in 2004, had seen Pak Lah as their saviour.
With a probable exception of which machiavellian aged fox, Dr Mahathir, of course. Dr M was always rather half hearted towards Pak Lah as PM and, by a finish of Pak Lah's reduced tenure, was already laying in to him, blaming him for probably all which had left wrong with BN as good as UMNO.
Work cut out for him
So, when Najib was handed a post of Prime Minister in 2009, he unequivocally had his work cut out for him. He had hereditary a bloc which was unequivocally many unilateral in nature, with a probably decimated Gerakan as good as MIC limping badly, as good as an MCA that, equally, was carrying a fair share of inner problems.
And, of course, inside of his own party, UMNO, a countless warlords needed appeasing, evidently led by, we guessed it, which aged alloy who always seems to be in a house.
Top of a instruct list for probably all of these meddlesome parties inside of UMNO as good as a BN was is - a return to a great ol' days of carrying a two-thirds (or above) infancy in a Dewan.
Najib knows that. He knows which anything reduction will, many likely, see his neck upon a chopping block. Many hold which he's been putting off a GE or, indeed, revelation us all exactly when it will be held, precisely because he has thus distant not perceived a single singular assurance, from inside or outside a party, which Barisan Nasional w! ill get back a two-thirds majority.
Next, of course, is a heated domestic adversary as good as a ambitions, generally inside of UMNO. It's during large believed which Najib as good as his Deputy both covet a tip post. Number two, Muhyiddin (left), now, apparently, has which aged alloy as good as celebration reactionaries as good as conservatives subsidy him as good as a narrow 'I-am-a-Malay-first' agenda.
Again, a age-old subject of dynasty comes in to play, with a aged alloy wanting to see his son follow in his footsteps as good as seeing Muhyiddin as a undiluted patsy to allow him to do so. So, with a aged man, series dual as good as a chosen son watchful impatiently to nudge him off a edge, a stakes are, indeed, unequivocally high for Najib.
Hence a need to be janus-faced, a need for hypocrisy. That is, a need to talk of 1Malaysia as good as Transformation, upon a a single hand, to appeal to a some-more aware, worldly-wise as good as growing Malaysian middle class.
And, upon a other, to fool around upon old, extremist sentiments, warning a Malays, as he did upon Malaysia Day, which "the 13th general choosing is not an typical election. Instead, it will determine a survival of a Malays."
Yet again, divulgence a desperation. Such recklessness is additionally conspicuous among a also-rans, a no-hopers, in a BN. Which is because we see a MCA, evidently devoid of anything of substance, marked down to a father as good as son action of desperation.
The senior Chua Soi Lek (right), similar to a broken record, seems totally obsessed with dual things 
- well, actually three, though this i! s a fami ly-oriented mainstay a DAP as good as hudud. Day in as good as day out, his favourite newspaper (The Star), a a single which his celebration owns, repeats his rants about voting for a DAP as good as getting tools of your structure of a body chopped off as a consequence.
His son, upon a pick hand, evidently has a fixation for a Selangor Menteri Besar when, perhaps, as Deputy Agriculture as good as Agro-based industries Minister, he could offer us improved by looking some-more in to a National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) scandal.
Answers still not forthcoming
Speaking of scandals, a financial mismanagement ones unequivocally have been a bugbears increasing a recklessness of a regime. There are, of course, so many which have not been resolved, where answers have been still forthcoming.
But, straight off a tip of our heads, we can consider of during least dual a NFC cows, cars as good as condos liaison as good as a some-more expensive, possibly some-more damaging, Scorpene submarines scandal.
Many times previously, a system of administration has depended upon a compliant, self-censoring mainstream media as good as a rakyat collectively carrying a reduced mental recall to, somehow, minimise, even eliminate, a implications of these misappropriation of open funds.
This time around, however, this strategy doesn't crop up to have succeeded. Some argue which it's because of a life of a pick Internet news media as good as amicable media.
Others credit a work of volatile whistleblowers, such as PKR's Rafizi Ramli (left), as good as a regime's stream punching bag, SUARAM, for bringing these alleged abuses out in to a open.
While all this might be true, similar to a tiny organisation of movie students during my university, a! organis ation with a mangled sense of humour, we consider it's a imagery which has finished these dual scandals hang in our minds.
The imagery, which is, of cows vital in condos as good as pushing to a plantation in oppulance cars. The imagery additionally of submarines which can't dive.
Whatever it might be, these 'irritants', these 'noises' have been intensely formidable for a system of administration to close off, leading to many consternation as good as increasing desperation.
So, a regime's 'strategic team' what, we think, in a days of a Cold War as good as even Watergate they called a 'dirty tricks department' is called up. They, in turn, dig not so deep in to their stale bag of tricks as good as come up with what they hold will shock a vital daylights out of all us generally those of us who have no entrance to a outside world, over which provided by newspapers similar to Utusan Malaysia as good as Berita Harian and TV stations similar to a Media Prima quartet of TV3, NTV7, TV8 as good as TV9 and which dinosaur, RTM.
And, of course, although many of us would probably have never bumped into
a Jew in our lives, many expected won't, as good as wouldn't know which we had finished so even if we did, a Jewish bogey is pulled out of a bag. we did contend it was a stale aged bag, didn't I?
Okay, so it's quite viewable which we do not buy all which Jewish conspiracy nonsense. But I'll share a little tip with you, strategic team: even my 86 year-old mom down South doesn't hold you.
She, too, thinks which you're getting intensely desperate as good as which it's creation we action similar to a garland of nincompoops. You must forgive my mother; she's aged school, in truth a retired school teacher, as good as tends to use some-more halus words instead of '! moron' a s good as 'bangang'.
No longer functions now
But, a indicate here, we guess, is which there's a flattering ordinary team of spinners
during work here. What might have worked 20, even 10, years ago no longer functions now. Even upon a 'ignorant masses' in a hinterland.
If it did, Mar 2008, notwithstanding all a reported rascal receiving place all a haunt voters, a passed 100-plus year-olds taking flight up from their graves only to vote would not have happened. If it did, a makciks and pakciks would not have been there, marching upon a streets of KL, asking for clean as good as fair elections.
If it did, a 13th general elections would have been announced as good as possibly hold ages ago. If it did, such recklessness upon a partial of a system of administration would no longer be necessary.
