Who needs Father Yuletide when you have Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak?
The universe has Father Christmas. In western folklore, he is a legendary figure who brings presents to a homes of great young kids upon a night of Yuletide eve. He is customarily portrayed as a chubby, joyful, white-bearded male who wears black boots as well as a red suit trimmed with white fur. Santa lives in a North Pole with Mama Claus, as well as is assisted by his enchanting elves as well as drifting reindeer.
In Malaysia, Najib has insincere a purpose of Santa, with his assorted handouts. Najib does not have Santa's prolonged white brave nor rosy cheeks, but most women claim to be hostile of his palatable red lips.
Both a Malaysian Santa as well as his Mama Claus live in a sprawling mansion called Seri Perdana, with an air-conditioning system which would have Santa jealous. To put things into perspective, a central residence of a British PM, No 10 Downing Street, is a garden strew in comparison.
Seri Perdana has deep raise carpets, kitsch Louis Farouk gilded very aged facsimile furniture as well as a walls are adorned with several life-size portraits of both Santa Najib as well as a Malaysian Mama Claus. A psychiatrist would find these portraits interesting material for a topic upon narcissism.
Santa Najib has his own elves; they are tiny in stature as well as small-minded, so which most people have dubbed them, 'Little Napoleons'.
Instead of eight drifting reindeer, Santa Najib flits around a universe in supervision jets as well as tall powered cars. When upon Malaysian soil, alternative motorists are forced off a roads by outriders.
Britain's monarch travels around in an English car, with a single outrider. Someti! mes, her consort, Prince Philip drives around in his own black London cab. One would have suspicion which Santa Najib would be proud to be driven in a Proton, a national automobile of Malaysia. Why does he have use of an alien car?
Santa delivers toys as well as candy to a well-behaved young kids of a world, while naughty ones embrace coal. English young kids leave mince pies for Santa. In Malaysia, things are different; whole family groups have to leave their souls for Santa Najib. He also delivers income as well as contracts to his cronies.
Instead of distributing presents from a big bag upon Santa Najib's sleigh, Mama Claus buys bags as well as rings.
As it is an choosing year, Santa Najib cannot be too picky. He cannot fake to help usually a Muslims. He contingency fake to help everyone. Santa Najib cries "Ho, Ho, Ho You help me, I help you."
In days of old, a people who gave Malaysian leaders a most headaches would simply vanish as well as be swallowed up by a Internal Security Act (ISA); but in these days of activism as well as domestic awareness, Santa Najib has to be careful. His vital headache is a Malays. They contingency be persuaded to vote Umno, to maintain his party's strangle-hold upon power.
Have a ultra-conservatives been gagged?
Surprisingly, in a run-up to Yuletide this year, you have not listened of complaints about carols being banned from selling malls, carolling being forbidden outside homes or of crucifixes being torn off walls in preparation for a revisit by a senior Umno politician. Have a ultra-conservative Muslims as well as Malays been gagged?
The run-up to most festivals is stressful. Housewives humour from a normal stresses of shopping food as well as be concerned if there will be sufficient stocks. They are aware which some unethical retailers will hoard food equipment to means be scared buying, so they can sell during a premium.
Fortunately, none of a c! ommon Yu letide dishes have been banned. Do bans start usually Muslim festivals? You might remember which a Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim) took Golden Churn butter off a shelves because they were deemed haram. There were allegations of pig DNA being found in a popular code of butter, used by most Malays as well as cakeshops to have kek lapis for Hari Raya.
Most people pronounced which they had never listened of pigs being milked for butter. The cynics pronounced which a herds of genetically modified dairy pigs contingency be top secret; no drive-in theatre of these herds have ever been released.
The most important jubilee in a Christian monthly calendar is Easter. If GE13 is hold before Easter as well as Santa Najib wins, he will probably anathema hot cranky buns, to damp a ultra-conservative Muslims.
Last week, Santa Najib played to a Indian village by saying which Indian teachers would be allowed into Malaysia to learn English. Few have fallen for this choosing gimmick.
Surely, a most cynical ploy by Santa Najib is a lifting of transport restrictions upon transport to Israel for Christians.
The oft-asked question is why now? Why do it with GE13 approaching?
Jerusalem is a holy city for Christians, Jews as well as Muslims. Are Malaysian Muslims still banned from transport to Israel?
If Santa Najib was sincere, he could lift a anathema upon a have use of of a word Allah by Malaysian Christians. He could also lift a anathema upon Malay Bibles. What about censuring nonconformist Muslim as well as Malay groups as well as individuals, for their fiery promotion opposite Christians?
Many people, including Muslims, go abroad to admire a fine architecture of churches as well as abbeys, or wonder during a morality of aged chapels. Why do modern Malaysian churches have to look identical to a shoplot or a bureau unit? How about lifting a restrictions upon a building of churches in Malaysia?
The usually great thing about Santa Najib's Yuletide cheer is which a Malaysians who have their way to Jerusalem would during least feel during home with a '1Israel' slogan.
'1Israel' is so identical to Santa Najib's '1Malaysia', you'd think a Israelis as well as Najib were in league.
Happy Yuletide to Everyone!
