The curse of Dr Mahathir?


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



Recently PAS did the startling in carrying the request event to abuse UMNO. The impiety itself was not startling as we can gamble such curses would be the norm during the duration using up to an election, be it for the stateorparty.It was usually startling given PAS announced the impiety event openly, wakakaka.

I consternation either UMNO pollies bought sometangkals(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 any choosing upon to their respective chances - see my postsReligious Devotion of Malaysian PoliticiansandDoctor is in - by appointment only!


wakakaka
Anyway, most were repelled by the request event 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 evil! word up on the Pharaoh 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, nonetheless escalated in rudeness with any succeeding plagueuntilthe most extreme as great as evil of all occurred with the 10th, whenthegod oftheHebrewsmurdered every trusting first-born in Egypt, tellurian as great as animals (Exodus 11:4-6 - KJV):


And Moses said, Thus saith theLord, About midnight will we go out in to the midst of Egypt:

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


And there shall be the great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none l! ike 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 - unequivocally barbarous as great as usually uttered by low category Chinese [low category 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...


... nonetheless unequivocally we wonder, that creator God (supposedly loving, merciful as great as forgiving) would do that to! his own creations.


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


If we ask the Japanese, theywouldtell we they have been god's children, where their emperor is descended without delay from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu andtheirislands created bytheJapanese gods Izanagi as great as Izanami.


Amaterasu
Not to be outdone, an desirous UMNO male with the moniker of Reezal Merican, positively eyeing the little tall positions with all the trappings (wakakaka), motionless to make the name for himself by copycat-ingtheJudean (Jewish) explain as great as dogmatic thatMalays aremukhtarin, god's'chosen ones', as great as of march (the principal motive as great as objective) UMNO has been anointed by godas the equivalent of Moses, presumably to lead the Malays in to the little arrange of UMNO-ish promised land.


Naturallyhe wanting referring to that Moses led the Hebrews wandering around in the forest for 40 years,from 1972 to 2012circa 1350 BCE.


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


What about them vital in the stately golden age of the Malacca Sultanate? What about them being citizens of the extraordinary Srivijaya Empire prior to they motionless to be great good known specifically as Malays?



Never mind, patently he wasn't asking for answers as he dictated his controversial question 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 chief mufti, beat him to it by dogmatic in 2011 thatMalays have been some-more special than Arabs in Islam, nonetheless he, perhapsmerajuk-ishlyand grudgingly wakakaka, certified Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was an Arab.

In the preposterous explain to first 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 tangible 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 derived from Islam, followed by the denunciation of the Malays that (also) derivesfrom Islam..."?

But afterwards in this, we suspect he's supported by PAS in Kelantan that has prohibited thewayang kulitfrom showing episodes of Ramayana as great as Mahabharata given of their Hindu origins.



But hey, perhapswayang kulitproponents could use Dr Syed Ali Tawfik Al-Attas' evidence that the etiquette as great as traditions of the Malays including thewayang kulitandmakyonghave been successive from Islam as great as have zero to do with any alternative religions.


And usually tobeonthesafe side, thebersandingceremony should be reviewed to winnow off any hereditary Hindu informative elements, whilst theMalay dictionary contingency be purgedofwords such asraja, 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 domestic party's ubiquitous assembly, wakakaka) for the race to spin god's 'chosen' ones.

Old Testament

All the upon top of UMNO as great as UMNO-affiliates' silliness have risen to prominence usually in the final 30 years - some-more of their means later.


Back to curses - the the single in the Bible we particularly admire for the scary hazard 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 extreme burning, as great as with the sword, as great as with blasting, as great as with mildew; as great as they shall pursue thee until thou perish.


Gasp ...butDeuteronomy 28:30 is utterly frightening as great in stating:Thou shalt espouse 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 men ontheirmurderous uproar 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) written during those unequivocally old times, wakakaka.

But let's dont consider about about PAS as grea! t as the perennialperpetual problematic mania with sex as great as counts sexual such as Shimshon (Samson) as great as Delilah 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 airporta la1 Samuel 18:1-4 (KJV):


And it came to pass, when he had done an finish of speaking unto Saul, that the essence of Jonathan was weave with the essence of David, as great as Jonathan desired him as his own soul. ...Then Jonathan as great as David done the covenant, given he desired him as his own soul.And Jonathan stripped 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 & Jonathan David to Jonathan
A integrate of days ago we postedThe Curse of Marina Lee Abdullah?Today we nonetheless we would write along the same line nonetheless with Dr Mahathir as my 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 declare that, whilst we had ! formerly penned the bit here as great as there about Dr M's 'curse' before, as great as programmed to do animprovedpost, it has been RPK who inspired 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 irreparable schism brought about by the hostile tussle for energy in in between Dr Mahathir as great as Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) that was brought to the culmination in UMNO's 1987 celebration election. The lines that caught my eyes are:

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


And did it prove to be the mom of all battles! Never prior to had so most income been outlayed upon the celebration election. Never prior to had threats as great as extort been used to the extreme to make people do the bidding of those who aspired for power. Never prior to had Umno been brought to the brink of drop as great as that it never unequivocally recovered from ever since.


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

Basically, Umno was transformed from the celebration of intellectuals as great as educators in to the celebration of commercial operation taukay! s. Umno became what MCA regularly was -- the income party. Umno sent shivers down MCA's spine given Umno became some-more money-driven than even MCA itself.

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

Umno would never be brought back 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 officially registered in 1988. And this is what most did not grasp during that time ...


Leaving aside RPK's contention in hisThe tour in hold up is never the true line (PAR! T 17)that it had been Anwar Ibrahim who, through his bullying tactics in UMNO intra-party politics, denied us of Tengku Razaleigh as Malaysia's domestic 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 fittingpadan mukafor poor MrManmanlai, wakakaka.




But in all fairness, Anwar had/has benefited from both Dr M's mentor-ship as great as ironically enmity, for:

... without Dr M, he wouldn't be UMNO's DPM (and some-more likely, PAS president, wakakaka - now, where's my scotch?);

... without the supportofthosewho hated as great as were repulsed by Dr M! as grea t as his bequest (UMNO apropos unbearably feralunderAAB from 2004 to 2008), he wouldn't have been successful in his so-calledrefomasiafter 2004;

... without the USA perceiving Dr M as the hostile national personality he wouldn't have been so pampered by the Americans as great as nurtured as the intensity friendlier alternative PM (now, with the Najib who's unequivocally US-friendly, as great as presumption Najib continues to be PM, let's see if the Yanks will settle Anwar the same degree of 'warmth' he had formerly 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 hisThe 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 single single post, so okay, here goes:

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

There has been the little truths in his comment nonetheless there have been sum errors (and nonsense) as well, nonetheless as they say, the best bullwouldbetheone built upon half-truths.


Dr M longed for an official module of certain movement to address what he saw as the Malay disadvantaged position vis--vis Chinese control of commercial operation in Malaysia. His argument, as expressed in hisThe Malay Dilemma, contingency have shabby Tun Razak who afterBrutus-ingTunku Abdul Rahman following May 13, formulated the NEP as great as brought Dr M back in to UMNO's middle 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 wastheSultanofSomnambulism, wakakaka.


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

The major downside conferred by the brand brand new wealth, we suspect, was the nonchalant as great as passive attitude towards his protgs' failures, bullshit* as great as the associated profligate 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 proclivity for tangible 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, effectiveness as great as efficiency.

I would contend his great good known toleration instead speedy 'go-for-broke' get-bloody-rich schemes or gimmickries, no matter how useless, irrelevant or greedy the schemes or activities competence have been.

* recall reading the headlines report that Dr M bemoaned someone fibbing to him about the dropping of the Proton Saga during the North Pole, the single 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 achieve what was dictated were bullshit.


Back to that thinly slice upon his shoulder - if translated in to unequivocally made easy terms, we suspect this would mean that, usually my made easy example, for every 10 Malaysian millionaires, 10 large commercial operation tycoons, 10 industrialists, 10 doctors, 10 engineers, 10 chemists, 10 what have you, etc, he would similar to to see approximately 6 Malays in any of those groups.



If we have been rebuilt omit thefact that the magic formula wasnot extended to the police, military, civil service (and university intakes),then wecouldfind zero wrong in his vision-objectiveper se, as great as indeed even extol him for it. It was the pretty satisfactory objective.


I'm full of idioms today, so as they say, the devil was in the sum (or implementations). Thus the World's biggest amicable engineering project, alas, fell unequivocally very reduced 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 new housing estate with the 7% discount for Malays, as an item in the grand amicable engineering scheme, unfortunately brought about dual inequities - (a) it benefited usually the elite who purchased same as great as sell the discounted houses off for the discerning profit whilst ordinary Malays were either not meddlesome (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 new houses had to finance the 7% discount of the 30% indifferent grant - if anyone believes the developers would catch the 7% discount, afterwards he/she contingency be in la la land.




Let's pierce upon to an additional issue. we heard he devised thepayungconcept, that in elementary conditions involved the government identifying, supporting, promoting, fostering, nurturing, etc, say, 10 Malays to spin unequivocally tall level participants in society, such as industrialists, large businessmen, as great as hopefully all apropos millionaires, etc.

Each of these brand brand new heroes in spin would afterwards do further (ie. identify, supporting, promoting, fostering, nurturing) an additional 10 Malays, with the hope-for snowballing effect until his dreams come true, of Malays presumption their rightful as great as proportionately-correct positions in Malaysian society.

It's the eminent objective, nonetheless alas, Dr Mahathir, being the superman as great as super intellectual he has been, had not reckoned with the ordinary man's elemental selfish as great as diseased nature, as great as done allowance for these.

Some or perhaps 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 miss of forging through the furnace of tough work, hardships, apprenticeships, as great as experience.


More than the couple of were failures, nonetheless he forgave them, afterwards helped them picked themselves up to try again, as great as again as great as again ... we suspect 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 bailouts ... as great as ... well, we get the idea, we know abo! ut the b ailouts, etc.

The invisible reserve net was regularly there, the humongous rewards were mouth-watering, as great as Don Corleone was eminent for his indefatigable toleration as great as forgiveness (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 proved to be the liability as he easeful them from descending off the face of the earth. But whilst we admire 'loyalty' we didn't let him offscot-freefor his erroneous virtue. we had once written of him:"He chose the sore as great as thus he contingency accept responsibility for their inability 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 postEt Tu BaharomandNo Hang Tuah for Dr Mahathir), Najib who did the discerning zig zag back to safety, thanks to an Anwar offer he dared not exclude (as suggested by RPK inThe tour in! hold up is never the true line (PART 16)) as great as of march MrManmanlaihimself, wakakaka!

And what happened to thepayungconcept? Perhapshis protgsfocussed usually upon relocating themselves from being millionaires to apropos billionaires. we have in addition 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 suspicion Dr Mahathir knew his certain programs were not gaining traction. Perhaps he was in denial that the shortcomings were due to the combination of the sad 'rental mentality', the ever present reserve net -both portion as the crutch he indicted the Malays of relying upon for as great long- as great as the rapacity of those who succeeded nonetheless abandoned the rest of the reduction advantageous or reduction clever mob.

Perhaps he believed that they indispensable 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 nonetheless not in the approach he had envisaged or intended. His bequest authorised the 'chosen' to consider unequivocally BI! G, where 'commissions' or 'revenues' were no longer considered in small sums of tens of millions nonetheless rsther than (up periscope please) hundreds of millions if not multi billions. The antithesis protested until the cowsdidn'tcome home wakakaka.

Khir Toyo's Bali-style magnificent mansion

Dr Mahathir in addition didn't design his'Kepimpinan melalui teladan'(Leadership by example) aphorism to spin so successfully adopted. Can we blame themata-matafor his natural '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 consider BIG lah.

unequivocally Malaysian style

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

Yes, nonetheless those capitalists (and their cronies) were 'extraordinary' 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 profligate waste, hundreds of millions if not billions were given to the local executive to set up naval boats, most of that didn't appear upon the docks let alone the seas.

in lieu? wakakaka

The courts were in addition celebration to crimes of land robberya latheAdorna Properties Sdn Bhd v Boonsom Boonyanitprecedence, so most so it murderous Judge Gopal Sri Ram that he as the judge did the unprecedented, by observant f* off (kaytee's words, wakakaka) tothe didactic discourse ofstare decisis.

Note: The sad Adorna fashion was eventually discharged bytheMalaysian courts in new times, nonetheless the life for several years was the outrageous smear upon the justice complement as great as judicialcredibility. Howthef* could such the statute happened intheoriginalcase if not for the distressing state of affairs that has beentheMalaysian system.

In such the meridian where toleration to poor opening was legend, reserve net for the chosen guaranteed, perfect wantonness avarice as great as conceited display of unaccountable pornographic resources condoned, as great as screwed-up governance as great as questionable legal rulings accepted, the sad mlange supposing the poisonous cocktail, the stench masked over usually by the ringgit-perfume of oil as great as gas, beautiful non-accountability as great as the audacity of the lop-sided majority of the statute celebration in Parliament.

Thus, we have the Malaysia cur! rently w here corruption, non-transparency, unaccountability, poor governance as great as perfect political-ethnic audacity have spin an unique partial of the socio-economic-political landscape.


Dr Mahathir's supporters will look during his shining as great as some-more benign achievements as his blessings. 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 patience 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, rich as great as unapproachable member, as great as by the deadline too. The final word in his vocabulary was procrastination.

Undoubtedly he saw Singapore's progression intotheranks of 1st World nations with most discomfit as Malaysia is in being resource-richer with some-more intensity than the little 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 domestic complement that fi! nal raci al supremacy as great as racial prevalence in virtually every field, instead of reliance upon meritocracy as great as the free market, as great as thus contributed enormously to the gradually unwell state. We have been now using upon reserves, that we have amassed in the progressing days of the independence as great as from the resources from the nation's first resources.

He alluded to his failures (to advance the Malays 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 final for their stability provision.

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

We could go as great as upon nonetheless to summarise in the purposeful form, we opine that his 22-years order has turned the Malaysian popular as great as familiar colloquialism of'Jaga standards'into something of the joke today.


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


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