This sketch provides the snapshot of Malaysian politics from Mahathir's vantage point.
This ensign was put up outside the USM perimeter wall in Penang to promote the Perkasa forum 'Transformasi Ekonomi dan Pelajaran Melayu Pulau Pinang' hold during the UiTM campus in Permatang Pauh upon the mainland.
Someone afterwards stranded the couple of ABU (Anything though Umno) stickers during vital points upon the banner.
Mahathir sees ABU
If we was to interpret this, we would contend Mahathir (and by extension Umno) has his behind against the wall, stung by recent revelations such as the RCI testimonies about the extenuation of citizenship papers just before the Sabah elections in 1995.
As some-more as well as some-more scandals implicating Umno personalities have been revealed, Mahathir can see the essay upon the wall, especially the wave of ABU sentiment. This sentiment was especially clear in the huge turnout during #KL112, which must have since him even some-more cause for alarm.
He afterwards uses racial as well as religious rhetoric to whip up community support, in the routine descending deeper into Perkasa's embrace, as this ensign eloquently illustrates. In this way, he hopes to keep Umno in power by stability with the BN's divide-and-rule order tactics, thus securing his (and his former cronies') decaying 'legacy'.
In this instance, he uses the occasion of the Perkasa event to div! ert cour tesy from Sabah by suggesting which people should demeanour during how Tunku postulated citizenship to those already in the nation before Independence.
A classical box of comparing apples (a transparent, on top of board arrangement which was part of the negotiations for Independence) as well as oranges (a covert clandestine operation apparently aimed during undermining the democratic process). A classical Mahathir tactic.
Unfortunately for him, some-more as well as some-more people can see through this arrange of diversionary tactic.
