Mahathir rejected a proposal that PKR president Anwar Ibrahim become the deputy prime minister if Mahathir succeeded in forming the new government. This is according to Malaysiakini, who further reported that Mahathir explained his decision to another news carrier thus, “Anwar is more in tune with politicking rather than as an administrator.” What then of the mandate of the people, given on the basis of his agreement to transfer the Prime Ministership to Anwar? Indeed, it seems that the Pakatan Coalition was built on a false promise! A hollow pact (pakatan) if there ever was one!
Kebenaran
Ayam rakyat disambar helang, Sawah jelata di rosak lalang; Wahai Tun yang moyangnya Mamak, lidah mu Keling, jelas ternampak!
Pantun ‘pascha tradisi’ merujuk kepada bunga bunga bahasa Melayu asli – 1. Ayam ditambat disambar helang, Sawah ditanam tumbuh lalang 2. Lidah Keling
Najib came back because you demurred on your promise to Anwar.
Najib came back because of the weakness in Pakatan Harapan due to the originary fallacy that you and Anwar were united.
Najib came back because you lost your channel to the Agong when you tried to usurp his role by announcing that vote of confidence on 2 March 2020, feigning that His Majesty had consented.
Najib came back because you lost credibility and trust when you tried to form a parliamentary dictatorship that was not acceptable to anyone.
Najib came back because you were working with PAS to while PAS was working with UMNO.
Najib came back because of you!
If you are unable to strike an honest and enduring alliance with Anwar, Najib will remain.
Indeed, in spite of all of the above intrigue and conflict, Anwar and Harapan still back Mahathir as their prime ministerial candidate. Even after a massive box office failure, the SUPERSTAR still remains the SUPERSTAR!
Bagai katak di tengah malam, berputar pusing, melompat lambung; Bermain sehingga tak lagi perasan , di mana depan, di mana belakang!
Nampaknya ‘main belakang’ bukan sahaja kata penghinaan merujuk kepada maksiat … tapi sudah menjadi istilah penggambaran hakikat politik Melayu sezaman!
Tidak dapat kami mengerti kejadian semasa tanpa kefahaman struktur ataupun hakikat yang ternyata dalam agama, adab dan bahasa. Pendekatan sebegini terhadap phenomena sezaman, yang merangkumi pembacaan melalui kaca budaya sesuatu bangsalah yang saya telah mengistilahkan ‘pascha tradisi’.
Citizens have a right to view the numbers (including names) that determined support for the two sides.
Citizens voice disapproval and disgust over those facing criminal charges and stood behind or participated in the overthrow of the democratically elected government. These unscrupulous politicians must be taken to task.
Parliament must convene without delay to allow support for the new PM and government to be tested. Otherwise, this new government is seen as illegitimate. This principle of legitimacy cannot be compromised.
In the event Perikatan Nasional fails to secure majority support in Parliament, Pakatan Harapan should be given the chance to form government in compliance with the mandate given by the people after GE14.
Politicians cannot take power claiming that they are the architects of democracy. It is the people who have this honourable duty. Politicians have a moral obligation to fulfil the trust given to them. As such, Patriot does not buy the assurances preached by renegades and traitors.
Any person that is to be appointed a minister, deputy minister and including all those political appointees must be vetted by the MACC and police to ensure that they do not have records of being corrupt or a criminal record and including no criminal charges pending or in progress. This is the time we get rid of corrupt individuals and criminals masquerading to be our leaders.”
Zip (detail), La Folie De La Peinture. 1998 (Web Art). An early photo-performance (circa 1994) at the Parc de la Villette – Channeling Salleh Joned in enacting a ‘gloss’ on one of Bernard Tschumi’s postmodern architectural folies located on a gridded plan throughout the park.
She begins her answer to this question most generously and I am delight to quote her here “So let me take this opportunity to bring to you an amazing Artist, intellectual, empath and a generous person. “She continues, “A photo-conceptualist, performance artist and theorist, his work is cutting edge and he doesn’t mince his words: Be it at the Burning Man in Nevada, or in Japan or in Lisbon or in Singapore Biennale or very much in Oshawa at the Ideas Digital Forum!”
Don’t be misled by the contemporary democratic/ parliamentary frame of reference. This is a post-traditional return to the heyday of the Malay Sultanates (Kesultanan Melayu) – rebutan kuasa di antara pemimpin Melayu sekeluarga, diatas dan keatas Tanah Melayu! Itu sahaja …
PS Sabah Sarawak is not included in this reading … but that is a different feudal narrative!
According to an article in India Today, when Superstar Rajinikanth, who has shown strong BJP affinities in the runup to his anticipated entry into Tamil Nadu politics, finally went against the BJP for their failure to control communal riots and violence in New Delhi in which 38 have been killed, his friend, colleague and fellow political aspirant, Kamal Haasan tweeted, “Shabash, my friend Rajini. That’s the way. This is a good path. It’s not a path for just one person, but a royal path for an entire community. Welcome, and congratulations.” The article explains how this ‘path’ statement is a reference to one of the SUPERSTAR’s greatest punchlines: “En vazhi thani vazhi,” from the hit movie Padayappa. It means, “My path is a unique path.”
சபாஷ் நண்பர் @rajinikanth அவர்களே, அப்படி வாங்க. இந்த வழி நல்ல வழி. தனி வழி அல்ல, ஒரு இனமே நடக்கும் ராஜ பாட்டை. வருக, வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
