Common Sense.

Selamat Pagi Malaysia. 8.26 Tuesday 15th May 2018.

It has been a confusing start to this week for me. What is the opposite of Fake News? True News? Real News? News from "reliable" sources? News from TV3, RTM, NST, Utusan or Public Announcements from Government Sources? How come it has been announced that the Fake News legislation is being retained? I am being told to not comment on anything that is happening in K Hell and yet at the same time our friends are asking each other for comments! We are being told that Umno cybertroopers are everywhere creating huru hara to confuse and keep us all on edge by posting misleading information to divide Malaysians against each other.....so what are we to believe?

Friends, in the things I do, common sense prevails.

Ask yourself this...what do you think those in Umno today...at this time of defeat and humiliation...are concerned with?

One thing and one thing only....how to get through the day...one day at a time. Survive the day first. The new President of Umno is trying to deal with the realities that now surround him while the past President awaits that knock on his door that tells him that the nightmare he much fears, answering for what he has done in the name of government, becomes a reality.

No one in Umno has time to sebar fake news to create unrest in our nation or to destabilise this PH government.

No one in Umno can think of anything else but how to save themselves from the inquisition that is about to be unleash upon them by this PH government for money politics, corruption and dedak.

Those with money, if they can cabut have already done so or are in the process of trying to do so. Some are trying to cover their dedak tracks and when all avenues to save themselves fails, they wait for that inevitable knock on the door from PDRM requesting their presence at Bukit Aman. And then there are the enterprising ones...the frogs and those who will do deals and turn state witness.....do anything to secure a "Get out of Jail" card from the authorities or avoid punishment by being contrite and "helpful" to investigators looking into the affairs of this past BN government.

All this is happening now even as we speak.

So any news that comes your way, any information, any bisek bisek from friends and informants....take it all with a bit of salt and use your common sense to figure out what is true and what are lies.

Second day into the week and Tun is doing his "thing" the way we have expected him to do. Have faith in him. Trust Tun. I do not think he will abuse the trust we have placed in him. ....and learn to trust in your instincts more then in others. We must learn to think for ourselves now.....this new PH government we have put into office will allow us to do so. Start today.

The rules have been stacked against us ALL THE BLOODY TIME

“It was a loss, we should have been better prepared, I agree but the rules were also stacked against us,” said Wan Saiful.

PENDANG, April 29 — Pakatan Harapan’s candidates should have prepared better to prevent the multiple disqualifications yesterday, said Parti…

Pakatan Harapan

Why the Indians should vote for PH....

You can fool some people some of the times and fool some people all the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time...but the Indian Malaysian people have been fooled all the time by Umno.....so this time around vote PH.

Leverage on Mahathir. It is the perfect example, of a knife borrowed, which we can use to kill off the enemy, UMNO

Pakatan pro tempore committe- personal thoughts of SAKMONGKOL AK47

These are my own personal comments. Most of us have read about this. Pakatan Harapan- is forming a pro tem committee. Most are us are jubilant about this. A pro tempore committee is finally in place.
Among other things, it will look into the idea of registering one common logo. As I have said some time ago, this is a right step. One of the things BN is fearful of, is the use of one logo by the opposition. Perhaps it can also discuss the idea of direct membership.
One logo. It will simplify the choice for voters. They will vote either BN or PH. It shows we can present a united front to the people. Hopefully it removes confusion. We are telling people that they have tangible choices.
The other thing that BN is fearful of is the leader who represents PH. Unfortunately we have 2 leaders who will act as advisors to PH. The leaders who met up have agreed to have 2 persons to represent PH. I don’t think this is strategic in the sense of being able to confer maximum advantages to PH. There should only be one person to represent PH.
If we don’t trust Mahathir, put Wan Azizah in charge. Or put up Muhyidin. Let us have only one captain commanding the ship. You can’t have 2 captains overseeing the command of a ship. It will run aground.
But let us ask ourselves? Will Wan Azizah have the drawing power to convert the UMNO people to our cause? We can’t bank our hopes solely on our extreme disgust of the injustice meted out to Anwar Ibrahim that we feel, giving Wan Azizah the symbolic gesture of fronting for Anwar will do the trick. We are dangerously flirting with an overrated emotion. It’s not endearing enough to have someone projecting a very feminine and likeable image comforting herself with a fontage fan.
I am not going to mince my words here. I am saying the person who is most strategically useful to us at the moment is Dr Mahathir. Put Dr Mahathir as the person representing PH.
With due respects to Wan Azizah, her placement there appears to give assurance to the PKR people, their boss is there. It’s like an insurance policy, reflecting the jockeying of position that is already looming in the background in the event that PH wins the PRU14. It is already the right of first claim by PKR when PH wins the next election. Anwar Ibrahim can become PM, after we win power.
It is also a decision to quell the distrust of the PKR people and members of PH on Mahathir. There are lingering doubts as to the sincerity of DR Mahathir in teaming up with PH. Personally I think most of these fear are unfounded.
Why do we need Wan Azizah to serve as midwife?
I have been wanting to write about this sometime ago but held back for fear on sending the wrong messages. Now that a committee is already in place, this issue can be discussed.
The only person whom UMNO fears most is Dr Mahathir. Let us make no bones about it- we are fighting UMNO. Don’t entertain PAS as a serious opponent. It’s UMNO.
After being played out on the issue of RUU355, PAS has lost credibility even among its own adherents. It can’t go back to its people by saying it tries its best but that it is UMNO which betrays them.
How do you explain that after having getting yourself besotted and ensnared by UMNO’s advances, you cannot depend on UMNO to put up the bill? Its supporters will be demanding blood soon. It has betrayed the hope and trust placed on them to deliver the RUU bill. It seems now that God has willed that Hadi’s private bill cannot get through with UMNO. It will shatter the hopes of the hundreds who came by buses to parliament the last time, to see and hear the motion becomes bill. How will Hadi explain to the expectant faces?
Some time ago, when Dr Mahathir turned up for an event organised by PKR, he was booed as he entered the hall. I understand the latent animosity and disapproval of Mahathir. Rightly or wrongly, he is seen as the person responsible for inflicting harm on Anwar.
But Mahathir now is the only person who can lead PH to defeat UMNO. Unless we defeat UMNO and win power, I am afraid, but have to say this, our friend Anwar Ibrahim will rot in jail. I am not taking away anything from Anwar Ibrahim, but there is also a sizeable portion of our citizens who do not believe in his ability as a leader. If he is pragmatic, Anwar will endorse Mahathir as leader of PH. He should stop playing politics from jail. I think for him, putting up Mahathir is a better choice than having Azmin Ali as co advisor.
As a blogger qua blogger, I will write about the internal politics of PKR sometime in the future.
With Mahathir coming on board, that portion opposed to PH for whatever reasons, can be reduced in size and our chance to defeat UMNO is increased. Just look as Felda. Whenever Mahathir comes, the crowd is huge. We incapacitate Felda, we incapacitate UMNO.
When Najib was in Tawau recently he asked the question repeatedly- who does Sabah people support?- the answer came back loudly, Mahathir.
It is strategic for us, to leverage on Mahathir’s acceptability by the people. Mahathir still commands the reservoir of support in the Malay heartland.
Leverage on Mahathir. It is the perfect example, of a knife borrowed, which we can use to kill off the enemy, UMNO

FIGHT BACK.

Tun Dr Mahathir is in the fight of his life and for his life. Literally. The man is a Doctor and he, better then anyone else, understand that what he is now doing is not what a 92 year old man, however fit he may be, wants to do if he is to live to a ripe old age. 

At 92 he is in the fight of his life because nothing that he has done before in his life and everything that he has done before in his life till now, will count for much if he does not win this fight of his life. GE 14 is the Holy Grail of Tun's life. If he again becomes Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun will have the opportunity to make right all that has gone wrong in the twenty two years that he has been Prime Minister of Malaysia. Please note that I have taken pains to state "what has gone wrong in the twenty two years that he has been PM" not "what he has done wrong in the twenty two years that he has been PM".   

Some of you will say that Tun has failed as a prime minister because he consolidated too much power in his hands. How you can you say Tun has failed? Is that not what he set out to do and succeeded in doing? So he has not failed. He wanted that power in his hands so that he could proceed to do the things he wanted to do for Malaysia. Not for himself but for Malaysia. That others came along after him and abused that power for personal gain should be attributed to greed and the inability of these leaders to understand their responsibility to king and country...not to what Mahathir did. Mahathir has succeeded in everything he set out to do while he was PM...the devil are in the details...and that relates to whether what Tun succeeded so well in doing, is good of bad for Malaysia. Let history pass judgement on that. 

And that is why I say that Tun Dr Mahathir is in the fight of his life and is in the fight for his life. His wife knows this. His children knows this. And so they are quiet as Tun goes into battle against an Umno he once loved, against the very people he was once president of and against all that Mr and Mrs Idiot and their cohorts can, and will throw at him, to try and deny him victory in his last battle.

But why are we allowing this 92 year old man to fight our battle for us? If you do not know the answer to that questions now, then you will never know ever.

Let me begin by saying what is in many of our hearts.

There is a rampaging mad man in Seri Perdana that needs to be contained. There is a pox upon us all that needs to be lanced and then tended to. There is a dedak infested Ogre of immense evil that must be destroyed. There is now within our nation, within our government and within all that is Malaysian, a toxic virus that threatens the very foundation of all that is still left standing within our country after six decades of umno rule ...and the only thing of value and grace that is still left in Malaysia today, is it's people ....and Tun.

But Tun is not alone in his last battle. 

Without Lim Kit Siang he is alone. Without Pakatan Harapan he will not succeed. Without us...you and me....Tun knows that the battle against BN is lost even before it begins. And that is why I say that the only thing that is of value left in Malaysia today is us and Tun.

Now what are we against?

Vast wealth and power! Not policies, not good governance, not a well oiled, effective and capable BN electioneering organisation...but vast wealth and power. RM2.6 billion is a fraction of the vast wealth that the Idiot has. PDRM, the AG and the other government functionaries is power. But his power is not absolute and all his vast wealth cannot content with greed. Greed will eventually kill the very people it builds.

So what else? What are the other myths that surrounds Umno that we need to dismantle?

Myth 1 : The Malays will give their votes to Umno.

Outside the corridors of PWTC and in the rabid company of Jamal Jamban's red shirt, have you met decent Malays who will stand up and with hand on their hearts, tell all within hearing distance, that they are umno Malays? None will. In the rural areas where Umno says they have their vote banks...what has happened to FELDA  has  decimated umno's rural support so much so that any Mahathir's visit to any rural outpost, will bring these Malay out by the thousands to greet him. 

Myth 2. The Chinese will give their votes to BN.  
To ensure continuity so that they can go on doing business as usual it is said that the Chinese will give their votes to BN. Huh!. The Chinese have deserted MCA and Gerakan like the plague. MCA and Gerakan's loss is DAP 's gain. DAP is with PH.  

Myth 3. Islam will perish if Umno perish.
Perish that thought! The "dedaking" of PAS by umno has surely kill any hope that Umno and PAS has to use the Islam card as its crutch as they hobble their way towards GE14. After GE 14 PAS will once again be relegated to what it once was and will be for the foreseeable future - a political party consigned to the backwaters of the East Coast....that is if they do not lose even that "backwaters" in GE 14.  

Myth 4 : Pakatan Harapan is in turmoil. 
Tun Dr Mahathir, we are told, will not be able to hold PH together should PH wins GE 14. How long did it take to get PH together? PH is being denied registration by ROS. Does that refusal make PH stronger or weaker? Do you see any dissent within PH to the policies and GE14 manifesto they recently announced? To the appointment of Mahathir as PM designate? Discard those rantings by Najib and BN. All is good and well with PH. 

Myth 4 : PAS is the spoiler in GE 14. 
PAS going to bed with umno will ensure that the Malay votes will be split in Umno's favour. In truth it is PAS that have much to fear about the possibility of defeat in its own state - Kelantan. 

Myth 5 : Malaysians concerns for Inflation, corruption and job opportunities will secure PH victory. 
Do still come out to vote for PH  for victory is never certain until the final votes are tallied and secure. It will be a close election and every vote is needed to get PH across the finishing line and start the process of change. Change to the Malaysia we aspire to. Change for the people, by the people and of the people.

Finally there is one other thing that the Idiot and his gang dreads. One thing that they will not expect us to do after over six decades of lording it over us. They do not expect us to fight back! This we must do if PH is to win government. FIGHT BACK!

If there is any attempt to take away your right to cast your votes any way you want : FIGHT BACK.

If there is any attempt by BN to win back an election it is losing. FIGHT BACK.

If this umno led BN regime wants to impose any other form of government other that that decided by the majority of Malaysian through the vote they cast in GE 14....FIGHT BACK.

FIGHT BACK ! FIGHT BACK ! FIGHT BACK ! 

LAWAN MESTI LAWAN.

cakap cakap....UNITY IN DIVERSITY IN PH? DREAM ON!

These opposition politicians in PH already thinks that the BN government is about to fall. The mad rush to grab as many seats as is possible for themselves have already started. Who will control Putrajaya? Who will dictate terms for the other component parties within PH to follow? Who is the de facto leader of PH? Who will rule in Selangor and Negri Sembilan? Who, after Mahathir,will be PM? So many questions to be answered and the battle has still to be won! All that they think about is their own party's interest and their own vested interest. Their true colours are on display for us to see. Do they deserve our support???? God help us all!
