Mahathir's vicious cycle



Former prime apportion Dr Mahathir Mohamad exelled even himself this week with a speech in which he claimed which "exercising democratic rights could place multitude in a everlasting infamous cycle of instability as good as insecurity".

This from a man who systematically robbed Malaysians of their democratic rights as good as thus created a infamous cycle of corruption, cronyism, injustice as good as impunity for himself as good as his partners as good as successors in crime which so bedevils a republic to this day.

And now, even in his dotage, he is so not in in regret or remorse for his sinister misrule of a nation, as to go upon to insist in a same "vicious cycle" speech which Malaysia could not presumably go to fight against a neighbouring nations as "Malaysians are cowards who don't wish to be harmed or die though would rather suffer life".

But he's additionally vividly wakeful which many of a people he cowed with his draconian anti-democratic laws, agreeable judiciary, politicised military as good as manacled media would vastly prefer to suffer life without him as good as his whole feign Umno/BN regime.

NONEThe huge Bersih rallies of courageous citizens job for purify as good as satisfactory elections initial struck apprehension if not a fear of God in to Umno/BN, as good as right away a pretentious Himpunan Hijau travel against a Lynas plant has come as an additional sour blow to their self-belief.

But Mahathir remains in denial, claiming which a regime "has finished much to prove which it is committed to reform! , as good as sneering in his trademark spiteful conform which if! people are job for even good reforms he will "convey it to a prime apportion as good as he will rught away do it".

Meanwhile a infamous cycle of regime crime as good as no punishment swirls upon unabated, with no pointer whatever of anybody being brought to book for a large robberies as good as repressions of a Mahathir era, or for any which you can consider of since.

Countless questions surrounding a attempted murder of Altantuya Shaariibuu, a suspicious deaths of Teoh Beng Hock as good as dozens of others in regime custody, as good as a array of large frauds as good as embezzlements trimming from a RM12 billion Port Klang Free Zone failure to a RM250 million National Feedlot Corporation liaison still go mysteriously unresolved.

NONEAnd still a infamous cycle continues, with a awarding of a Automated Enforcement System to associate privateers, as good as in a process a unexplained remuneration of 10 times a proper cost for a system's cameras.

Indeed, far from feeling any pressure to insist such indiscriminate thefts of open money, a perpetrators seem to be getting some-more as good as some-more conceited in their alibis for such atrocities.

Witness a laughably lying new "explanation" by Selangor Umno report chief Shukor Idrus which open land in Selangor sold dirt-cheap to a private association during Umno/BN's order of a state was for a role of providing open amenities.

Fake events


And this infamous cycle of rascal extends way beyond a particularly monetary as good as criminal, to feign events written to invest a regime with feign perceptions of open support.

Like last Saturday's supposed Himpunan Barisan 1Malaysia entertainment of NGOs which a conduct organiser, Ahmad Maslan, claimed had "nothing to do with Umno or a c! oming Um no annual ubiquitous assembly".

NONEMaslan, a deputy apportion in a Prime Minister's Department, was quoted byMalaysiakinias lamely claiming which "you can't say which it is being held in as good as with a Umno AGM, as a entertainment is this Saturday as good as a AGM is next Tuesday".

In any case a event was as big a flop as all Umno/BN's displays of a "popularity" are, as good as was completely overshadowed by a 20,000-strong attendance during a last leg of a Himpunan Hijau travel to Dataran Merdeka.

But during slightest it completed a feign objective, which was to yield Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak with nonetheless an additional height from which to declaim nonetheless an additional of his feign speeches.

This time, according toMalaysiakini, he urged against a shift of supervision with a worn-out Mahathir insist which a republic is a "envy" of others.

NONE"Why fix a supervision if it's not broken? It's not broken, far from it," he lied, before proceeding to list all a "incentives" his curved regime has doled out to a people with open income as good as declaring which "more can be given, as good as you will give some-more in a future upon a condition which a republic is governed well".

This cannot be done, however, he said, through "empty promises" similar to those mentioned in a opposition's manifesto request a Buku Jingga - "or Buku jing-gay, as others say".

Of course this latter was a sly offence upon Anwar Ibrahim as good as a reminder of a infamous cycle of trials to which both Mahathir as good as Najib have subjected Anwar upon trumped-up charges of sodomy.

And, sure enough, he followed this up with a typically witless Mahathir-style! "joke" to a outcome which Anwar "goes here as good as there as good as 'pokes' people against a Malaysian government. He's not finished with his poking, so maybe that's because they built this rostrum similar to a cage - to strengthen me," he chortled.

Laughing at, not with him

Najib had better get all a jollies he can now, as some-more as good as some-more Malaysians are shouting at, not with him. And also, as ever, during a antics of his spouse, a contentious initial lady of Malaysia, Rosmah Mansor.

azlanHaving been comparatively quiet for a while following a torrent of ridicule elicited by her pick up of Birkin handbags as good as titular doctorates, she burst behind onto a universe theatre with a vengeance a other day following a Asean limit in Cambodia.

In an talk with a Phnom Penh Post, she defended Najib's support of a watering-down of a Asean Human Rights Declaration with a weasel out-clause based upon open probity as good as polite order upon a drift of what she claimed to be Malaysia's "high morality" as good as "alarming" rates of HIV/Aids cases.

Such an outpouring of feign sanctimony from a egotistic mother of an unelected prime apportion presiding over a complement of destructive venality bestowed upon Malaysia by a infamous alloy is nothing reduced of outrageous.

It is nonetheless an additional of many signs which a infamous cycle of Umno/BN misrule of a republic could good be as close to a end.
