It was the best of times it was the worst of times.....


"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way." Charles Dickens.

Those lines are an apt description of the situation Pakatan Rakyat finds itself in today! Pakatan Rakyat is the Government in waiting and yet will it govern?

The people had the wisdom to chose Pakatan Rakyat in the last GE and yet would they be foolish enough now to hand it back to UMNO; Pakatan Rakyat leaders had belief that the people within their midst were committed to the ideals and aspirations of the Rakyat and Party and yet incredibly there are those within Pakatan Rakyat that would put self before the party – even before the Rakyat; We the Rakyat can see the light at the end of the tunnel and yet the season of darkness under UMNO is still upon us; This is the Spring of hope that we have all waited for to rid ourselves of the tyranny of UMNO and yet we still live in the winter of despair because we continue to suffer the injustices and the arrogance inflicted upon us by the Judiciary, The Police and our own government; We have everything before us with the coming of the General Election and yet all might come to nought if we are not focused and committed to our cause ; If we are victorious in what we do we will have the heaven we have hoped for…. if not another 50 years of hell under UMNO.

So where do we go now? In all honesty I do not see how Najib could even start to govern. It would seem that even the heavens are against him. Two days ago three schoolgirls died because of human errors that could and should have been avoidable. Just as we were coming to terms with this terrible tragedy the Father of one of these girls’ dies – of a broken heart I guess. Najib must think that even the heavens are conspiring against him. Maybe they are…maybe they are!

Najib is reduced to taking whatever mileage he can out of the perceived misfortunes of the opposition! Like the tow trucks that will only make their money when there is an accident or if your car breaks down…. like the Funeral Houses that needs a corpse before it can make its money……Najib makes merry out of the perceived misfortune of the opposition. But while he thinks he is dancing on top of the graves of his opponents – his opponent is really cleaning house. Ridding itself of unwanted baggage and blood sucking parasites. And Najib welcomes these unwanted baggage and blood sucking parasites with open arms! What would UMNO do with these filth once the euphoria of them jumping into UMNO/Barisan is done with? The toddy shop loves a drunkard – but not for his son-in-law. What would UMNO do with these people? What would UMNO do?

What of the Opposition? What of Pakatan Rakyat? Yes it would seem that it is the winter of their discontent and yet their courage in ridding themselves of their unwanted baggage will serve them well in the long run. Not in the short term but in the long term – after all the GE is still a few years away. Enough time for those unwanted baggage who have joined UMNO to become a burden and an embarrassment to UMNO while PR will have time to ensure that new blood have been given their ‘baptism of fire’ and are ready for the coming GE.

This is what we see being played out in front of our eyes today. I can only say this for now: "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." So says Buddha. We will have to use much of our common sense and our sensibilities to discern the right and the wrong, the good and the bad and ultimately Pakatan Rakyat or UMNO. For me that decision has been made many years back when the politics of patronage, cronyism, deceit, greed and arrogance defined UMNO for what it is. A Party that uses its own race to further the financial interest of its own members! We can do without them!

    It took me time just to read, articulate, and may be commenting. How in the world do you post so many in a day. That's really amazing.

    Couldn't agree more of keeping the fire burning.

  3. Hussein, could you use your contacts or knowledge of state assembly rules to verify the statement from Malaysianini: Anwar's sodomy case among reasons to quit, my interest raised because I though if you are absent from State Assembly more than twice, you will be disqualified. Perhaps Badrul gave a medical chit?

    "Rumours intensified after his protracted absence from state legislative assembly sittings and in public, but these were quelled after Badrul made a public statement stating his commitment to PKR."

    If you don't have access to Malaysiakini and want the whole article, I can copy-paste for you.

  5. You are spot on bradar. Najib has shown that he's not much different from Badawi or Mahathir. In other words, the pillage, the killings, the underhand tactics to disparage the opposition by foul means will go on. His 1Malaysia is nothing but like an empty drum, only makes a lot of noise. Let Pakatan filter out their rubbish for now, separating the frogs, the moles from the men and women who are dedicated to the cause.

  6. Aha I come to the same point again about leaders..they were bred from the same school same SI FU,,,see what I had told you guys!

    SI FU same, school same, syllabus same, class same & most of all Headmaster same!

    What to expect from one school of taught or thoughts!

    Najib cannot turn into an angel...we all wish he could...!

    But the heaven's as said, is even angry with him! What more the RAKYAT?

    PR,PAS and DAP can slowly and surely correct the scenario...all the bad apples will show their real colours as they NOW!

    TGNA - surely not a silly ole fox like we had one who openly admitted it on National TV!

    The rest of the big players are veterans, they know the dirty games too well.

    NAJIS is in a bucket full of shit!
    Damage control does not work anymore...more shit will hit the fan, just wait and watch.

    AS THEY SAY...WHAT EVER WILL BE WILL BE !

    HUMANS CAN PLAN ONLY...THE ULTIMATE DECISIONS DOES NOT REST WITH US MERE MORTALS!

    THE HIGHER BEING DECIDES THE FINAL OUTCOME!

    ONE MALAYSIA - ONE DREAM - KICK THEM ALL OUT AND WE HAVE A TRULY MALAYSIA FOR ONE & ALL!

    WE WILL CALL IT "MALAYSIA SATU SAHAJA!"
