The curse of Dr Mahathir?

It seems we have been intheseason for impiety as great as curses, wakakaka.



Recently PAS did the unusual in carrying the request session to abuse UMNO. The impiety itself was not unusual as we can bet such curses would be the norm during the period running up to an election, be it for the stateorparty. It was usually unusual given PAS announced the impiety session openly, wakakaka.

I consternation either UMNO pollies paid for the small tangkals (azimat) from Pak Bomoh Awang Mohd Yahya to neutralize the PAS curses. wakakaka. Well after all, some-more than the fewUMNO, PAS as great as PKR pollies (not Tian Chua or Sivarasa though, wakakaka) deliberate bomohs prior to to any choosing upon to their respective chances - see my postsReligious Devotion of Malaysian PoliticiansandDoctor is in - by! appointment only!


wakakaka
Anyway, most were shocked by the request session being used, or as they believed, misused for cursing. But actually, impiety has been partoftheAbrahamic religions for eons, withthemost dramatic being great olde Moses laying down the immorality word upon t! he Phara oh with the god-given abuse of 10plagues.

The 10 plagues (or god's curses manifested) proposed with themild, usually the River Nile turning red with blood, yet escalated in rudeness with each next plagueuntilthe most drastic as great as immorality of all occurred with the 10th, whenthegod oftheHebrewsmurdered each innocent first-born in Egypt, human as great as animals (Exodus 11:4-6 - KJV):


And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, Ab! out midnight will we go out in to the surrounded by of Egypt:

And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the initial born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; as great as all the firstborn of beasts.


And there shall be the great cry via all the land of Egypt, such as there was none similar to it, nor shall be similar to it any more.


That was worse than the Chinese 'harm kar ch'an', the genocidal abuse upon thefamilyline of one's enemies - really barbarous as great as usually uttered by low class Chinese [low class in character, genius as great as behaviour, wakakaka].





Of march if we leave it totheJudaists as great as Christians, theywouldtell we God punishedthose Egyptians because... yadda yadda yadda ...


... yet really we wonder, that creator God (supposedly loving, compassionate an! d forgivi! ng) would do that to his own creations.


Answer: Of march usually the God of the Hebrews. And it would be hardly surprising that such the Hebrew God would call his Hebrews (and thereafter, Israelites, Judeans, Jews) his 'chosen people', as we have come to sense from the OT bible, the singular in reality created by, would we believe, the Judeans, wakakaka.


If we ask the Japanese, theywouldtell we they have been god's children, where their czar is descended directly from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu andtheirislands created bytheJapanese gods Izanagi as great as Izanami.


Amaterasu
Not to be outdone, an ambitious UMNO male with the moniker of Reezal Merican, positively eyeing the small tall positions with all the trappings (wakakaka), motionless to have the name for himself by copycat-ingtheJudean (Jewish) explain as great as dogmatic thatMalays have been mukhtarin, god's'chosen ones', as great as of march (the principal ground as great as objective) UMNO has been anointed by god
as the homogeneous of Moses, presumably to lead the Malays in to the small arrange of UMNO-ish betrothed land.

Naturallyhe omitted mentioning that Moses led the Hebrews erratic around in the forest for 40 years, from 1972 to 2012 circa 1350 BCE.


Reezal Merican afterwards plainly pontificated "What is there of the Malays prior to Umno came along?"


What about them vital in the ! glorious golden age of the Malacca Sultanate? What about them being adults of the amazing Srivijaya Empire prior to they motionless to be great great known privately as Malays?



Never mind, patently he wasn't asking for answers as he dictated his controversial subject to betheanswer as well, to wit, to remindtheMalays of UMNO's Mosaic role.


But Reezal Merican wasn't the initial 'Malay' (wakakaka) to explain the 'chosen' standing for Malays. Harussani what's-his-name, Perak's arch mufti, beat him to it by dogmatic in 2011 thatMalays have been some-more special than Arabs in Islam, yet he, maybe merajuk-ishly as great as grudgingly wakakaka, certified Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was an Arab.

In the preposterous explain to primary Islamicpedigree,Dr Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas, the director ubiquitous of the Institute of Islamic Understanding, even preceded Harussaniwhat's-his-nameby informing us in 2006, that:

"The Melayu is defined as initial being the Muslim as great as given he's the Muslim, he follows the etiquette as great as traditions of the Malays that have been successive from Islam, followed by the denunciation of the Malays that (also) derives from Islam."

Huh? "...the etiquette as great as traditions of the Malays that have been successive from Islam, followed by the denunciat! ion of t he Malays that (also) derives from Islam ..."?

But afterwards in this, we think he's upheld by PAS in Kelantan that has taboo the wayang kulit from showing episodes of Ramayana as great as Mahabharata given of their Hindu origins.



But hey, maybe wayang kulit proponents could use Dr Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas' evidence that the etiquette as great as traditions of the Malays together with the wayang kulit as great as makyong have been successive from Islam as great as have zero to do with any alternative religions.


And usually tobeonthesafe side, the bersanding ceremony should be reviewed to winnow off any hereditary Hindu cultural elements, whilst theMalay lexicon contingency be purgedofwords such as raja, agama, negara & bangsa,all of that have been hereditary from Sanskrit, wakakaka.

Thus, not withstanding Reezal Merican's oratorical antics, as great as the Hebrews as great as Japanese myths, it's the matter of who wrote the book (or uttered same during the political party's ubiquitous assembly, wakakaka) for the race to turn god's 'chosen' ones.


Old Testatment

All the upon top of UMNO as great as UMNO-affiliates' stupidity have risen to inflection usually in the final 30 years - some-more of their equates to later.
Back to curses - the a singular in the Bible we utterly admire for the scary threat is inDeuteronomy 28:22which warns:


The LORD shall smite thee with the consumption, as great as with the fever, as great as with an inflammation, as great as with an impassioned burning, as great as with the sword, as great as with blasting, as great as with mildew; as great as they shall aspire to thee until thou perish.


Gasp ...butDeuteronomy 28:30 is utterly frightening as great in stating:Thou shalt betroth the wife, as great as an additional male shall lie with her: ... etc etc ...

Wow, the abuse of the Hebrew God essentially promoted husbands being cuckold-ed as great as wives committingadultery? No consternation it set those Hebrew group ontheirmurderous rampage in Canaan.



But okay, those biblical curses by God were about 4000 years ago. Today no church or priests/monks would do that ... aha ... solely for those clerics in PAS, perhapsindicating their genius still resembletheoriginal mould (template) designed during those ancient times, wakakaka.

But let's forget about PAS as great as the perennialperpetual problematic mania with sex as great as counts passionate such as Shimshon (Samson) as great as Delila! h in the Kota Baru salon, as great as Dawid as great as Yehonathan (David as great as Jonathan, son of King Saul) allegedly cavorting during the KB airport a la 1 Samuel 18:1-4 (KJV):


And it came to pass, when he had done an end of vocalization unto Saul, that the essence of Jonathan was weave with the essence of David, as great as Jonathan loved him as his own soul. ...Then Jonathan as great as David done the covenant, given he loved him as his own soul.And Jonathan nude himself of the robe that was upon him, as great as gave it to David, as great as his garments, even to his sword, as great as to his bow, as great as to his girdle.


David & JonathanDavid to Jonathan
A integrate of days ago we postedThe Curse of Marina Lee Abdullah?Today we yet we would write along the same line yet with Dr Mahathir as my brand brand brand brand brand brand new 'Moses' as great as his curse, thatisthe abuse of (or by) Dr Mahathir, not that bloke who was confused as to either he was Egyptian or Hebrew.

I have to confess that, whilst we had previously penned the bit here as great as there about Dr M's 'curse' before, as great as planned to do animpr! ovedpost , it has been RPK who desirous me to get upon with this charge by the couple of paragraphs inhispostThe tour in hold up is never the true line (PART 16).

RPK's post talks about the Great UMNO Split in 1987 (about 8 months after the nation's 1986 ubiquitous election), an irreparableschism brought about bytheacrimonious tussle for powerbetween Dr Mahathir as great as Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) that was brought to the culmination in UMNO's 1987 celebration election. The lines that held my eyes are:


Ku Li
... the mom of all battles looming over the setting -- the competition between Team A as great as Team B.


And did it infer to be the mom of all battles! Never prior to had so much income been outlayed upon the celebration election. Never prior to had threats as great as blackmail been used to the impassioned to have people do the behest of those who aspired for power. Never prior to had Umno been brought to the brink of drop as great as that it never really recovered from ever since.


The 1987 celebration competition altered Umno for great as great as introduced the brand brand brand brand brand brand new enlightenment in to Umno that eliminated the celebration from the hands of the nationalists in to the hands of the capitalists.

Basically, Umno was remade from the celebration of intellectuals and! educator! s in to the celebration of commercial operation taukays. Umno became what MCA always was -- the income party. Umno sent shivers down MCA's spinal column given Umno became some-more mon! ey-drive n than even MCA itself.

The brand brand brand brand brand brand new Umno enlightenment became: income talks, jive walks. And it has remained that approach ever since.

Umno would never be brought behind to what it was when it was initial formed in 1946. Umno became 'Umno baru' in 1987 even prior to Umno Baru was legally as great as strictly registered in 1988. And this is what most did not grasp during that time ...


Leaving in reserve RPK's contention in his The tour in hold up is never the true line (PART 17)that it had been Anwar Ibrahim who, by his bullying tactics in UMNO intra-party politics, denied us of Tengku Razaleigh as Malaysia's political head in 1987. Tengku has mostly been touted as the best PM we never had.

Instead, Anwar endowedthenation with Dr Mahathir's 22-year premiership, that RPKsurmisedas the wise padan muka for poor Mr Manmanlai, wakakaka.



But in all fairness, Anwar had/hasbenefitedfrom both Dr M'smentor-shipand ironically enmity, for:


... yet Dr M, he wouldn't be UMNO's DPM (and some-more likely, PAS president, wakakaka - now, where's my scotch?);
... yet the supportofthosewho hated as great as were repulsed by Dr M as great as his legacy (UMNO becoming unbearably feralunderAAB from 2004 to 2008), he wouldn't have been successfu! l in his so-called refomasi after 2004;

... yet the USA perceiving Dr M as the antagonistic inhabitant leader he wouldn't have been so élite by the Americans as great as nurtured as the intensity friendlier alternative PM (now, with the Najib who's really US-friendly, as great as presumption Najib continues to be PM, let's see if the Yanks will accord Anwar the same degree of 'warmth' he had previously enjoyed).


Extending from RPK's initial palm comment of UMNO being ...transformed from the celebration of intellectuals as great as educators in to the celebration of commercial operation taukays, we humbly opine theunderlyingcause of such an UMNO mutation has utterly the lot to do with Dr Mahathir's thinly slice upon hisshoulder, that he supposing the glance of in his The Malay Dilemmabook.



Of course, I'm no Barry Wain with the 363-page book likeMalaysian Maverick - Mahathir Mohamad in Turbulent Times. This is usually kaytee's personal take of Dr M in the singular single post, so okay, here goes:

The olde male was aggrieved, or if we want to call the scoop the spade, mightily pissed off that the Malays, the strictly dynamic inland people of Malaya-Malaysia, had been subjugated (enslaved) in their own land by the alternative races, presumably as great as predominantly the Chinese, with the collusion of the Poms, all given of their (Malays') toleration andnon-confrontational nature.

T! here has been the small truths in his assess! ment yet ! there have been sum errors (and nonsense) as well, yet as they say, the best bullwouldbetheone built upon half-truths.


Dr M wanted an central module of certain action to address what he saw as the Malay disadvantaged position vis--vis Chinese carry out of commercial operation in Malaysia. His argument, as voiced in his The Malay Dilemma, contingency have shabby Tun Razak who after Brutus-ing Tunku Abdul Rahman following May 13, formulated the NEP as great as brought Dr M behind in to UMNO's inner fold.


And when Dr M became PM, he went about it (the certain actions) in the distant bigger way. Yes, we can't ever saythisman wasthewalking SultanofSomnambulism, wakakaka.



His ventures were additionally sanctified or accursed (depending upon your philosophical outlook) by Malaysia's brand brand brand brand brand brand new found resources of oil as great as gas, giving him roughly unfettered embodiment in implementing his policies as great as schemes.

The vital downside conferred by the brand brand brand brand brand brand new wealth, we suspect, was the nonchalant as great as tolerant attitude towards his protgs' failures, bullshit* as great as the compared wicked waste.


In the ubiquitous case, the certain actions, whilst itself the great eminent program, was so entirely dissipated as great as abused that it negated any motivation for actual acquisitions of know-how, skills as great as incremental competencies for entrepreneurship and/or veteran trades as great as occupations, as great as their successive improvement, efficacy as great as efficiency.

I would contend his great great known toleration instead encouraged 'go-for-broke' get-bloody-rich schemes or gimmickries, no matter how useless, not pertinent or greedy the schemes or activities competence have been.
!
* stop reading the headlines inform that Dr M bemoaned someone fibbing to him about the dropping of the Proton Saga during the North Pole, the singular of Boleh-Land's gimmickries to instil honour as great as certainty in Malaysians (Malays). we reckon both the gimmick as great as the try to cover up the failure to grasp what was dictated were bullshit.



Back to that thinly slice upon his shoulder - if translated in to really done easy terms, we think this would meant that, usually my done easy example, for each 10 Malaysian millionaires, 10 big commercial operation tycoons, 10 industrialists, 10 doctors, 10 engineers, 10 chemists, 10 what have you, etc, he would similar to to see we estimate 6 Malays in each of those groups.



! If we ha ve been prepared omit thefact that the sorcery regulation wasnot extended to the police, military, polite service (and university intakes), then we
couldfind zero wrong in his vision-objectiveper se, as great as indeed even applaud him for it. It was the reasonably satisfactory objective.

I'm full of idioms today, so as they say,thedevil was inthedetails (or implementations). Thus the World's greatest social engineering project,alas, fell really really short of the dictated (higher) objectives as great as worse, brought about undesired attitude, popularly referred to sneeringly as 'the let mentality'.


Reserving 30% of brand brand brand brand brand brand new housing estate with the 7% bonus for Malays, as an item in the grand social engineering scheme, unfortunately brought about two inequities - (a) it benefited usually the elite who purchased same as great as sell the discounted houses off for the discerning profit whilst typical Malays were either not interested (because they have land as great as houses, admittedly in the kampungs where they prefer to reside) or could not afford the houses, as great as (b) the non-Malay purchasers of those brand brand brand brand brand brand new houses had to subsidize the 7% bonus of the 30% indifferent grant - if any one believes the developers would catch the 7% discount, afterwards he/she contingency be in la la land.



Let's move upon to an additional issue.I listened he devised the payung concept, that in elementary terms ! concerne d the government identifying,supporting,promoting, fostering, nurturing, etc, say, 10 Malays to turn really tall turn participants in society, such asindustrialists,big businessmen, as great as hopefully all becoming millionaires, etc. Each of these brand brand brand brand brand brand new heroes in turnwouldthen do further (ie.identify,supporting,promoting, fostering, nurturing) an additional 10 Malays, with the hope-forsnowballingeffect untilhisdreams come true,ofMalays presumption their legitimate as great as proportionately-correctpositionsin Malaysian society.



It's the eminent objective, yet alas, Dr Mahathir, being the superman as great as super in! tellectua! l he has been, had not reckoned with the typical man's inherent greedy as great as diseased nature. as great as done stipend for these. Some or maybe most (though not all) of his 'chosen-ones' (his, not God's) were usually humans with all their weaknesses, not helped during all by the lack of forging by the furnace of tough work, hardships, apprenticeships, as great as experience.


More than the couple of were failures, yet he forgave them, afterwards helped them picked themselves up to try again, as great as again as great as again ... we think given their success was elemental to removing the humongous thinly slice off his shoulders. There have been abhorrence stories of large bailouts ... as great as bailouts ... as great ! as bailo uts ... as great as ... well, we get the idea, we know about the bailouts, etc.

The invisible safety net was always there, the humongous rewards were mouth-watering, as great as Don Corleone was eminent for his healthy toleration as great as redemption (except to those who were fraudulent to him, wakakaka).

His blind loyalty to his protgs, friends (or cronies) as great as supporters was legend, as great as had in most cases valid to be the guilt as he easeful them from falling o! ff the fa! ce of the earth. But whilst we admire 'loyalty' we didn't let him offscot-freefor his fallible virtue. we had once created of him: "He chose the sore as great as thus he contingency accept responsibility for their incapacity to perform."

He was approach as great distant ahead of his protgs

There have been most examples of how his loyaltyto his protgs, friends (or cronies) as great as supporterswere unnoticed eg. Tajudin of MAS, his own Kedahan UMNO pollies (Osman Aroff, Johari Baharom, Saad Man, Samsudin Ahmad see my post Et Tu Baharom as great as No Hang Tuah for Dr Mahathir), Najib who did the discerning zig zag ! behind to s! afety, thanks to an Anwar suggest he dared not exclude (as revealed by RPK in The tour in hold up is never the true line (PART 16)) as great as of march Mr Manmanlai himself, wakakaka!

And what happened to the payung concept? Perhapshis protgsfocussed usually upon moving themselves from being millionaires to becoming billionaires. we have additionally suspected that the targeted Malay equity had already been completed (but not admitted) as great as held in the hands of usually the few.

I had the disreputable guess Dr Mahathir knew his certain programs were not gaining traction. Perhaps he was in rejection that the shortcomings were due to the multiple of the sad 'rental mentality', the ever present safety net - both portion as the crutch he accused the Malays of relying upon for as great long - as great as the rapacity of those who succeeded yet abandoned the rest of the less advantageous or less clever mob.

Perhaps he believed that they needed the prod, prompt as great as push, as great as the outrageous sip of self confidence. Was this the reason for the birth of the Boleh-ness teaching module as great as the greedy gimmickries?


His Boleh-ness teaching succeeded beyond his wildest imaginations yet not in the approach he had envisaged or intended. His legacy authorised the 'chosen' to think really BIG, where 'commissions' or 'revenues' were no longer deliberate in sm! all sums of tens of millions yet rsther than (up periscope please) hundreds of millions if not multi billions. The antithesis protested until the cows didn't come home wakakaka.

Khir Toyo's! Bali-sty! le palatial mansion

Dr Mahathir additionally didn't expect his 'Kepimpinan melalui teladan' (Leadership by example) aphorism to turn so successfully adopted. Can we censure the mata-mata for his healthy 'urges' when he drives by the Bali Palace in Selangor ortheSatay Palace in Klang, as great as consternation WTF he was achieving in some-more aged by risking his hold up in duties? And hewouldalso think BIG lah.

very Malaysian style

RPK informed us thatThe 1987 celebration competition altered Umno for great as great as introduced the brand brand brand brand brand brand new enlightenment in to Umno that eliminated the celebration from the hands of the nationalists in to the hands of the capitalists.

Yes, yet those capitalists (and their cronies! ) were 'e! xtraordinary' capitalists where they were upon trial humongous incomes as great as protected from loss - Tolls, IPP, etc as great as as an e.g. of wicked waste, hundreds of millions if not billions were given to the internal executive to set up nav! al boats , most of that didn't crop up upon the docks let alone the seas.

in lieu? wakakaka

The courts were additionally celebration to crimes of land robbery a la the Adorna Properties Sdn Bhd v Boonsom Boonyanit precedence, so much so it murderous Judge Gopal Sri Ram that he as the judge did the unprecedented, by observant f* off (kaytee's words, wakakaka) to the didactic discourse of stare decisis.

Note: The sad Adorna fashion was in the future dismissed bytheMalaysian courts in recent times, yet the exi! stence fo! r multiform years was the outrageous smear upon the probity complement as great as judicialcredibility. Howthef* could such the ruling happened intheoriginalcase if not for the distressing state of affairs that has beentheMalaysian system.

In such the climate where toleration to poor opening was legend, assured safety net for the selected guaranteed, sheer wantonness avarice as great as conceited arrangement of unaccountable obscene resources condoned,andscrewed-up governance andquestion-aljudicial rulings, the lamentablemlangeprovided the toxic cocktail, the stink masked over usually by the ringgit-perfume of oil as great as gas, creative non-accountability as great as the audacity of the lop-sided majority oftheruling celebration in Parliament.

Thus, we have the Malaysia currently where corruption, non-transparency, unaccountability, poor governance as great as sheer political-ethnic audacity have turn a! n unique part of the socio-economic-political landscape.


Dr Mahathir's supporters will demeanour during his shining as great as some-more soft achievements! as his b! lessings.. And we mustn't repudiate him his dues, for he completed most things for Malaysia. He was the ruthless one-man juggernaut as he dragged the reluctant Malaysia screaming in to the 21st Century. Anyone who stood in his approach was 'chopped' down. He had no full of blood calm for namby pamby heel-dragging stuff.

He was dynamic to propel Malaysia in to the rankings of 1st World nations a.s.a.p, as an admired, respected, competitive, wealthy as great as unapproachable member, as great as by the deadline too. The final word in his wording was procrastination.

Undoubtedly he saw Singapore's course intotheranks of 1st World nations with much chagrin as Malaysia is in reality (natural) resource-richer with some-more intensity than the small island nation. Yet ....., as great as that substantially competence have been what had frenetically driven Mahathir when he was PM.


Singapore

But paradoxically, he entrenched the political complement that demands racial supremacy as great as racial prevalence in probably each field, instead of reliance upon meritocracy as great as the ! free mar ket, as great as thus contributed enormously to the gradually unwell state. We have been running onthereserves we have amassed in theearlierdaysofourindependenceas great asthe resources from the nation'sprimary resources.

He alluded to his failures (to advancetheMalays to his perceived Utopian state) some-more than once, blaming the Malays for over-depending upon the crutches that ironically he supposing as great as still demands for their continuing provision.

Have alltheabove beenthecurse of Dr Mahathir who proposed off upon the eminent equates to yet finished up with the nearfailingstate (in terms of governance,proprietyand accountability, etc) for us as great as future generations?

We could go as great as upon yet to summarize in the pithy form, we opine that his 22-years order has incited the Malaysian popular as great as familiar colloquialism of 'Jaga standards' in to something of the fun today.


Now, if we revisit London as great as happen by St Paul's Cathedral, that was designed andbuiltby Christopher Wren, we will see upon the wall upon top of his tomb inthecryptthe engravedmessage in Latin, 'Lector, si monumentum requiris, circumspice' that equates to 'Reader, if we find his monument, lookaroundyou'.


I hold the same message can be attributed to Dr Mahathir too, with the minor amendment, for it to read 'Reader, if we find his monument, both great as great as bad, demeanour around you', where in place of Wren's cathedral, we have Dr Mahathir's Malaysia together with the most sad systems as great as policies, faults as great as failings.
