The rise of the revisionists. And beware of fair weathered allies. Contrarian essays no 2.

1. What is the fuss about wanting to know if Rafizi were to resign or not. It will come in due course, if at all .

2. Rafizi marches to his own drumbeat. Not when the social media pundits say so.

3. And let's not over read rafizis presence at the ASEAN summit. He may be there at the request of Nana Non.

4. Or in a tat for tat move, Rafizi plays along with nana. In the art of deception.

5. He aceded to the request of Nana Non so as to induce the latter to let his guards down. But I doubt it if Nana Non does not already know it .

6. My take is, Rafizi will eventually resign ( at the point of this writing, Rafizi has in fact submitted his resignation)

7. We can dismiss the wet dream hopes of some people, that Rafizi will be appointed a ' punahsihat' la, the new sec gen la and so. The chances of those things happening are slim and none .

8. Obviously the winners in PKR's recent election do not think much of Rafizi and those who resigned from their ministerial posts. They think they are as smart

9. Rafizis post for instance, can be filled by nurulizzah, amiruddin, ramanan and so on. Heck even the nitwit G&G minister can replace Rafizi.

10. So why the meeting to discuss the role of Rafizi? Ah yes he can be a cleaner.

11. I don't mean a cleaner as in sweeping the floor or cleaning toilets in PKR office.

12. But a herculean cleaner, cleaning the shit in PKR's Augean stables.

13. The resignations will be replaced and we will have to adjust to a new set of arrangement. That's it.

14. We will be horrified initially but will soon come to terms with what's happening. Rafizi and gang will do their stuff and Anwar will do his.

15. These are exciting times. Rafizi coming back as an ordinary MP and we can expect sparks to fly.

16. He will become once again,a' mechanic 'a term I used of him as someone who prises open many controversial and explosive issues.

17. In particular, he will talk about 2 things he hinted in his speeches before. The comatose and near death condition of reformasi and of the many skeletons in the governments cupboard.

18. It will be interesting to see how nurulizzah and PKR respond to the 1st assertion. I hope nurulizzah will gain as much success in rebutting that issue as she does in championing the TVET issue. Which is nothing and insignificant.

19. People will soon realize that the moniker puteri reformasi that goes with her, will show what everyone suspects all along- that she is a paper tiger .

20. We are rubbing our hands to hear about much Rafizi wants to talk about. We shall be amazed that so many things have been hidden from us .

21. We want to hear about issues like fashion valet and the incompetence of khazanah. We want to hear about the 1.1b bail out of sapura, about the deal involving one Salvador 'Dali', about corruption that's ravaging most government institutions and so on. Spill baby spill!

22. But I have no doubt that Nana Non will weather the storm. For a man who has gone through the worst of tribulations, he will get through. Whether unscathed or otherwise remains to be seen .

23 . Rafizi will sadly huff and puff, anwars team will listen but make don't know . They will put up with the farcical disputations. That's about it.

24. Right now, Anwars priority is to how to extend his political longevity. In the past I have said it depends on him keeping the faith of people in him as the change agent, keeping the promises he made and the presence of a team committed to carry out his plans .

25. There's another factor which I failed to recognize. Since the PH is a coalition government, his political longevity will also depend on his ability to court new allies.

26. With Rafizi out of the way, it opens the doors for him to deal with new suitors as it were, bersatu for instance.

27. UMNO is always suspect. I maintain that it's an enemy in waiting. Always plotting and happy to see PKR in trouble.

28. Just look at the statement of wak 47. He says Rafizi and nik nazmis resignation showed they are principled. What does UMNO know about principles? It has no principles .

29. He is focusing on something that troubles PKR. It didn't occur to him to say, whatever it is, UMNO stands behind the PM. Beware of the ponorogo Nana Non!

Scooping in muddy waters and laying a fish trap in between a gap. Contrarian essays no. 1

1. Many welcomed rafizis loss and rationalised it. For Rafizi he feels relieved to be free of political play and also free from palace intrigue.

2. But for many, their self serving summary of the loss is disappointing to me at least

3. These people talked of rafizis loss as a result of sandiwara politik and poltik tinggi at 2 levels.

4. At level 1, they talked in terms of Qadha and Qadar. They are acting sanctimonious and acting with pompous piety.

5. Fuuh! Qadha and Qadha and Qadar, I felt like falling off my chair.

6. I haven't felt that way since bossku Al mulut merah spoke about maqasid shar'iyah and wasathiyah. Good God!

7. Perhaps these people have just a cursory knowledge of these concepts, giving them a broad brush. Just mentioning them in passing to give the people some religious respectability in explaining the loss of Rafizi.

8. You know how malays are, sprinkle your narratives with religious words, they stopped thinking. They suffer a brain freeze.

9. The 2nd level is a dead give away of their true character. The loss of Rafizi, is an opportunity for Rafizi and us to return to politik melayu dan Islam. Ah ,..so that's it , ya.

10. Political melayu is what? Politik UMNO or pas? That's why I said a dead giveaway - the people speaking like this must be UMNO operatives .

11. Looks like many of us haven't freed ourselves from thinking in terms of temporal and ecclesiastical fascism.

12. The new PKR leadership has much to do to erase that kind of reactionary thinking especially among malays. But being revisionists themselves, can they?

13. These people are using the loss of Rafizi to scoop in muddy waters or placing a fish trap in between a gap. They think Rafizi suffers a rebound and will fall into their arms. You think Rafizi is a love sick teenager or what?

14. You may entice a revisionist into your suffocating embrace but not a true blue reformasist like Rafizi.

15. So people calling for a return to politik melayu dan Islam, go play with yourselves.

16. Instead of looking at the loss in terms of going back to politik melayu dan Islam, let's look at as a clash between reformasi forces against counter reformasi and revisionist forces.

17. The argument of going back to politik melayu dan Islam which is an unmistakably an UMNO argument, confines the issue as a Malay problem only. On the other hand, looking at the issue as a clash between 2 diametrically opposing forces, makes the issue race free. It's an issue that concerns both malays and non malays .

18. The argument of going back to politik melayu dan Islam is so blase' and does not impress us. Yeah, yeah we have heard of it many times . It's just another step of making malaysia into a Malay bully state

19. At the moment, in the clash between the two forces, the revisionists win. Rafizi who is intelligent and perceptive, knows who is behind them 20. The revisionists are eager to work with the bourgeois forces. The bourgeois forces should be taking to amiruddin, to the gol and gincu man, to ramanan, to izzah. Not to Rafizi. Title.

The URA and the marginalisation of malays. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger no 100

1. For my 100th article in the tales by an unknown blogger series, I am writing my perspectives about the Urban Renewal Act , URA.

2. The ura wasa mooted by DAPs nga kor Meng. He is minister of housing

3. When the URA was first mooted, it raised a storm of protests. Especially from Malay supremacists. Plus other ' defenders of the hapless.

4. But before discussing the URA, let me say a few things about the brouhaha surrounding the controversial very pricey hawker kiosks.

5. It's ridiculous that a unit of kiosk costs so high. There are many of them. People are rightfully angry at that. So they direct their diatribes at NGA.

6. If the criticisms, very strident at that are appropriate, they are acceptable.

7. But what if these criticisms are actually vengeful venom directed at NGA, being a Chinese and from the DAP?

8. But if these criticisms are directed at nga in personam, Nga has every right to defend himself in any manner.

9. No one else has a right to insist Nga defend himself in a scripted way.

10. But what if Nga is defending not himself but his ministry and the officials therein?

11. Has anyone asked, who selected the vendors, approved the kiosk and okayed the unit price?

12. It may have been the ksu or su or heads of departments. And these are malays.

13. Because they are malays, using the simple but not easily disputed logic of the late tun hanif omar, there's a .95 probability that these people are corrupt .

14. You may remember, when hanif omar was asked why 95% of those arrested as communist sympathisers are chinese, he answered that since 95% of communists are Chinese so there is 95% probability that communist sympathisers are Chinese.

15. Logical right?

16. So if 95% of those actually caught and found guilty of corruption are malays, there is a 95% chance of the Malay officials in Ngas ministry are corrupt.

17. So the same ferocious punishment suggested for Nga because he is Chinese and DAP, should also be suggested for the Malay officials, right?

18. It shouldn't be that after realizing the real culprits behind the kiosk issue are malays, we suddenly back down in our ferocity. Tablay itu maciam, tamby.

19. Deal with the malays the same way you would if the culprit were Nga. Baru adil.

20. This is the problem with some malays. If they think that some decisions are made by a Chinese and DAP some more, there must be something fishy and sinister.

21. That's simply hate speech and opinions laced with racism To be continued in part 2

Reformasi vs counter reformasi. The PKRs contest for number 2. Part 2/2. Tales by an unknown blogger 99

1. The people behind nurulizzah are actually doing a disservice to Anwar. The vehemence of their activities can't prevent people from suspecting that Nana non has a hand in the plan to oust Rafizi.

2. The brazenness and the impudence by which these people gang up to wallop Rafizi can only imply they have the blessings of the supreme leader .

3. The actions of these people are so despicable and obnoxious. Imagine the conspiracy among them to do in one of their own. And the one of their own is a sitting deputy president of their party .

4. If they can do it on one of their own, imagine how they look at the common people .

5. The only way to retain the confidence of the people,is to put in place a team of people determined to carry out true reformasi.

6. The whole episode also shows that nurulizzah is easily manipulated. If she can at present be easily manipulated, it's not difficult to see who will be wearing the pants later on.

7. The responses of the PKR people who support nurulizzah are so acrimonious and vile. Nurulizzah may not be the one responding to Rafizi but her silence on the attacks on Rafizi connotes her implied approval.

8. We never saw such vehement responses at other times say when akmal Saleh stole many of the thunders from PKR especially the AMK. Their behavior on these occasions was effeminate or in the Language easily understood by Malaysians, was transvestite-like.

9. But on Rafizi, their sitting deputy president, it's like carpet bombing with agent orange.

10. In the meantime, nurulizzah can go on playing the role of a dolled up prima Donna.

11. What ails PKR? Any perceptive person would be able to infer those listening to the speeches of Rafizi.

12. First is the erosion of reformasi ideals corrupted by power . It's power corrupts and it corrupts absolutely.

13. To arrest that corruption,PKR needs a team who remain iron resolved to carry out reformasi.

14. Despite the denials, reformasi is in coma, if not already dead. They are just slogan shouts at gatherings.its overwhelmed by the ubiquitous and hazy madani . You can't understand its concept just as you can't understand the many advertisements appearing on TV.

15. One has to be a pyan Habib, Latif mohiddin or MGR to understand the adverts and then MADANI.

16. Screaming about it until the arteries in the necks bulge out, doesn't meant it will be carried out.

17. In modern times, I think. It was Milton Friedman who said almost always what was promised , produced results that are exactly opposite.

18. We are promised reformasi, we get the preservation of business as usual ways.

19. The PKR people who assumed government posts become stealthier penyakau, leakers of tenders and contacts, unbridled Corruptors, abusers of positions and so on.

20. It's the situation described by Frantz fanon, the oppressed becomes the oppressor.

21. Theres widespread cheating at the cabang elections. It's riculous that their election committee considers screen recordings as inadmissible. Do you want to overcome the problem or not? So don't operate as a sanctimonious court. A party makes its own operational rules .

22. Hello, at LSE, they are teaching about the law and AI. It's inconceivable that a low level technology like screen recordings are not recognized.

23. I find the customary denials and words of lower ranked leaders against the words of the deputy president as farcical. Whose words can you believe? Rafizi has been proven to be honest while the words of the party careerists are in doubt.

24. Lastly, I find it intriguing and very interesting when Rafizi said that being an ordinary member he can freely talk about many things.

25. Ah so, there are many things that are hidden from us, is it?

26. As a defunct economist, I would like to listen to the issue of fashion valet which seems to quiet down. I want to listen to the appointment of various vendors to the economically irrational deal of leasing helis from westar aviation, the deal of farhash Salvador, the idiotic bail out of sapura, the rampant corruption in tabung Haji, in PETRONAS and in many other government owned companies.

27. But first, let me take out my packets of kuachi- eagle brand of course.

28. 2 statements by Nana non disturbed me. The first, those who lose jangan khianat.

29. That, to me suggests that losers are already predetermined. There is an unholy alliance to defeat Rafizi and gang.

30. 2nd, is a most recent statement. He brushed off any notions of a cabinet reshuffle but does not discount resignations.

31. Rafizi and gang's resignation is imminent or they are asked to leave.

32. In a rare display of cocksure behavior, Anwar may be forced to swallow his own sputum. He will find kicking out Rafizi is not as easy as eating pasembur at Tanjung.

33. Kicking out Rafizi is like getting rid of your credible alter ego. What's left is a phony personality.

34. My only interest is to see PKR remains the main pillar of the government. A return of UMNO rule is a most dreadful option. I am not a PKR member and therefore no threat to anyone.

35. My views are unsolicited. You may listen to them if you want. If not , throw them in the rubbish bin. But do so at your own peril.

Reformasi vs counter reformasi. The PKRs contest for number 2. Part 1. Tales by an unknown blogger 98

1. The contest for the PKR number 2, casts a long shadow on the political fortunes of Nana Non.

2. In particular to his political longevity. We know that , that depends on him keeping the faith of people in him, on him fulfilling the many promises he made and on his team of fellow leaders determined to carry out the reformasi ideal.

3. Already in the 1st two,he has problems, on the 3rd he's not going to sleep soundly either.

4. Keeping the faith of people in him means keeping the belief of people in him as a change agent. Change agent number 1. Living out reformasi ideals.

5. We are reminded of what James carville asked, change or more of the same? Or as Machiavelli asked, are we interested in retaining the status quo or overthrowing it?

6. And my honest and candid answer, because I don't want Anwar to be a one trick pony, is that he shouldn't waste any time stopping him to carry out reformasi ideals.

7. He should in earnest, weed out the vestiges of past UMNO. The UMNO of Ismail sabri, Najib and mamu Mahathir. And bersatus legacy.

8. Over the basic issue of reformasi, anwars attitude is dubious.

9. In many instances, Anvar seemed unduly restrictive and self limiting and not willing to go the whole 9 yards. He seems wavering, diffident, compromised etc. In place, he justifies his 'non feasance' by all sorts of excuses and bourgeois verbal manipulations. I am not going to cite actual instances -there were many

10. Under those circumstances and they will be repeated many times because behaving that way, is an integral part of his constitution, he needs a firm voice emboldened enough to keep him within the guard rails. Hey, all the while he sings bol Radha bol, suddenly he goes on a frolic of his own and sings mahathirs favorite , kuch Kuch HOTA hai.

11. In such situations he doesn't need a sycophant and a yes sir jolly good sir type of person to sound him.

12. I am not going to use the tired arguments of dynastic pretensions and nepotism.

13. What's more damaging, is what I term as the deliberate placement of incompetents in positions of responsibilities.

14. Placing misfits in responsible positions caused all types of havoc to Nana non. Incompetence, mediocre work output, power abuses, corruption and so on.

15. Didn't the prophet Muhammad warned us, in a Hadith sahih, that when you lose entrustment ( AMANAH) wait for Armageddon to come .

16. Whereupon the companions asked. How do you lose entrustment? When you put the wrong people in responsible positions, answered the prophet.

17. I see the clash of 2 forces in the PKR contest for number 2.

18. Between a group led by lapiji which is ready and willing to assert and keep alive the ideals of reformasi.

19. The other counter reformasi group led by nululizzah which are willing to compromise and tolerate the supreme leader's vacillations. NIA becomes a useful idiot .

20. Why do I begin the discussion on PKRs contest for number 2 by talking a little( for now) about the political fortunes of Anwar? Because I think this bloodletting will not happen without the blessings of dear leader

21. Rafizi, I believe is insightful enough to know this .

22. But I am not going to fault Anwar for behaving that way. He's being an effective politician, a Machiavellian persona at that .

23. We mustn't think of him as sly, deceptive, tricky and willing to employ the darker arts of politics.

24. We are judging a contest between politicians, not a contest between persons for good behavior.

25. Rafizi has just got to invent a better mouse trap.

Dog shit views and vomit that has gone through a cats digestive system kind of opinions. Tales by an unknown blogger no. 97

1. I will select a few. The first revolves around the hottest issue at the moment. The ongoing contest between Rafizi and Nurul Zzzah.

2. Some PKR bozo said those not PKR members , don't be busybodies and meddle into the affairs of the party. Don't comment.

3. What? Am I hearing right? Sounds like something coming out from UMNO, mca and mic .

4. Hubristic and cocky. Ok, we hear you. Come GE, you don't be a busybody meddling in our decision of who to vote. Don't come to the people trying to persuade them to support you.

5..if it's being a busybody commenting on the ongoing contest, it's also being a busybody meddling in people's decision making process. Fair, isn't it?

6. That kind of look down talk is so imperial and mandarin like. People are dumb and fickle minded incapable of commenting on the ongoing contest but are pliable to vote for the new Parti Kincing Rakyat.

7. It seems the attitude of caring a shit about people's opinions has caught up with some PKR mother f***(typical of BN people) has made them facetious and smart alecky much like the peanut forgetting its shell .

8. People who voted you in can no longer afford to be indifferent as to who leads them. Being indifferent has caused them miseries under BN crooks.

9.its because PKR is the main pillar behind the government, people feel strongly too about expressing what type of leaders lead them .

10. The PKR people who tell of the ' busybodies ' will rue the day when they acted flippant.

11. Next is the lie being hawkered around that malays will lose their political power if they stick around with PH.

12. The absurdity of the claim is superseded by the racial bigotry and prejudices of its sponsors.

13. The main sponsors are the usual suspects -malay supremacists in various guises. The claim being made in measured tones and statesman manner while others scream about it in bellicose tones.

14. Have people heard of the expression demography is destiny? You have probably not if you have been reading comics and books on ghost stories.

15. By 2030 , malays would constitute 80% of Malaysia's population. Pray tell, how could the 80% be displaced by the 20%? In the immortal words of AR Tompel, impossible, impour-sibble!

16. Unless the malays are completely turned off by the Malay bozos offering themselves as candidates. Or the malays suddenly becoming politically sophisticated and extremely liberal. 2 chances malays becoming that. Slim and none.

17. Even as now, the erroneous claim and lie is debunked.

18. Just look around us. The PM is Malay, the DPMs are malays, the MBs are all malays save for Penang, the TYTs are malays, the SS are all malays, the pengarah jabatans are malays,the DOs are all malays, the CJ is Malay, the IGP is and so is the army Chief. At all levels, the taikos are all Malays.

19. For the good os us, prove that claim. It turns out to be just a xenophobic and paranoid lie.

20. The claim is made just to scare malays from supporting PH. Malays are no longer provincial or living isolated in an island. Malays are warming up to the idea of inclusiveness, moderation, racial and religious tolerance, shared prosperity and so on- living in cooperation not in incessant antagonism.

21. Then, there is a poll taken to gauge racial support for Najibs pardon. What's the motive?

22. The survey is done with malice aforethought. Pitting one race against another. It must be the work of the UUCL-United UMNO Cyber Liars.

23. The business of sowing social dissension, racial mistrust, distrust and perpetual suspiciousness is the raison d'etre of UMNO. It stems from its xenophobic nationalism.

24. Mind you, the pardon of Najib arose because he is convicted of a crime. In reality the survey of his pardon is a survey whether you support crime or worse, you are a criminal in potentia?

25. It's a terrible slur on the Malay and Indian communities, where the majority of them are seen as supporting crime or are criminally minded.

26. Intuitively, the survey is defective. Malays and indians, with their strong Islamic and Hindu moral teachings would condemn crime.

27. Rather than complimenting the Chinese community for being steadfast and morally upright in opposing crime, they are seen as the odd Man out, or smart alecky .

28. In a situation where the majority rules( it's 2 against 1 right) the Chinese are on the ' wrong' side and cannot be depended on to achieve the actually achieve the desired aim.

29. The hidden desired aim is to show that the major races in Malaysia, support pardoning Najib or accept crime.

30. But for the high percentage of Chinese opposing pardon, the overall majority opposes pardon. It's confound the Chinaman.

31. That's why I say the survey has malice aforethought. It's meant to isolate the Chinese and make them seen as despicable.

32. Then there are technical issues with the poll. An honest professional statistician would tear the poll to pieces.

33. What was the sample size? Was it big enough to represent Malaysia? How was the sample size taken?

34. For example, were 100 malaysians chosen at random? Or you chose 100 malays, indians and Chinese each?

35. If the latter way was chosen, then surely the conclusions, summary and inferences reached will be skewed.

36. If there 70 malays with UMNO leanings and 70 indians with MIC leanings, they will support pardon.

37. But if in the Chinese group one has 90 people with DAP leanings or if you were to ask a person such as I who has an inherent dislike for unfair privileges and entitlement, I will say no to pardon as do the Chinese with DAP leanings.

38. Rational Malaysians should reject such a survey with malice aforethought, defective from the beginning and reaching erroneous conclusions.

39. It maybe just data dreamed of by some jocks sitting at a table while eating kacang. Or worse, while wanking themselves.

40. It's numbers made respectable by calling them poll and intellectual survey

41. I can't resist on commenting on a stupid is as a stupid does. That's what you get, when an UMNO and defunct veteran says pas is envious of UMNO because UMNO has tamed DAP. Wow!

42. That's typical of an UMNO brownshirt. Condescending, patronizing and conceited. Cocky as always.

43. It's also emblematic of a person living in perpetual denial, perhaps after drinking copious amounts of ketum

44. The dumbass with the dog shit of an opinion cannot decipher the messages in air Kuning, the latest by election.

45. It's not in Egyptian hieroglyphics but the message is in a language all Malaysians can understand. Except for UMNO mental retards.

46. It's not the strongest that will survive( yes UMNO is strongest in vitriolic and hurling threats) but the most adaptive that will survive.

47. But UMNO, consisting mostly of mental retards can't understand that. How could they? They read mostly komik gila2 and ghost stories.

48 . People now want inclusiveness, moderation, shared prosperity, racial harmony, religious tolerance not tension, which is UMNOs stock in trade.

49. We don't care what's the quarrel between UMNO and PAS is, but DAP is not a beast to be tamed by bully beastnaster UMNO with whip in hand.

50. Au contraire, it's UMNO which is tamed and domesticated.

Raub, illegal alienation of land, their uses and illegal logging. Tales by an unknown blogger no 96

1. I thought I am done writing about land illegally cultivated with durian. Not until the sultan of Pahang now says, some 10,500 hectares of land in Raub is cultivated with durian.

2. Just who the f supplied the figures to the sultan? Have them strung by the balls.

3. Didn't the sultan initially said it was 14,400 hectares? Then an NGO fronted by BN people said on top of the 14.5k , there is 5.5k hectare land cultivated with durian. The NGO even bombastically said, it will chase the MP out from Raub.

4. So it was 14. 5 hectares, 5.5k hectares and now 10.5k hectares? Which is which?

5. You people, don't be angry if I asked as awkward questions. In a visit to the sungai Ruan Kelau area, we saw the sultan inspecting felled durian trees. Not pokok hidup.

6. I think, that wouldn't hold in court. When asked by a lawyer worth his salt, the person in the dock will answer, no I saw felled trees, not live durian trees. It would seem the evidence has been destroyed.

7. If I know better, I would impute that the culprits behind the durian trees have destroyed the evidence .

8. It would seem the Raub land office, the pejabat daerah doesn't know head or tail.

9. 14k, 5k and now 10k hectares. It forgot the 1st lie it said. It now falls in the 1st hole it dugs . It's the way of a liar.

10. Ask the land office, how much land are cultivated with durian. How many hectares in mukims Sega, baru talam, teras, dong, ulu dong are actually under durian?

11. I am not going to defend the ah bengs. If it's proven they broke the law, they must be punished appropriately..

12. If they meet up their MP and tell him of his grouses, he must take them up. It's his duty .

13. He cannot condone illegal cultivation but if they tell him they are unreasonably treated , bullied, treated high handedly, racially abused, he needs to look up into these allegations.

14. Are we certain, they are the only ones at fault? As I said earlier, land of this size, cultivated for so long cannot have been going on for so long.

15. It's possible that governmental authorities that allowed this illegal cultivation are severally liable.

16. Punish the ah bengs but punish also the authorities that allowed these transgressions. There may be several.

17. The land office as of now can't even give the sultan a straight figure. 14k, 5k and 10k hectares. If we ask them 10 times, it's likely we get 10 different figures .

18. The NGO must also chase them out of Raub too .

19. Re enter the land under durian,oil palms, vegetables, mining, chicken rearing, goats and cattle, fish ponds, illegal settlements etc

20. If the government sees it fit, torch the vegetable farms, poison the fish, cut down the palm oil trees, cull the chickens goats and cattle, destroy illegal settlements including places of worship .

21. I saw a online news portal saying the sultan as saying, ' bangsa penceroboh ni tak boleh beri muka '. Wow!

22. Immediately I know this is not the language used by the sultan. When I was growing up in pekan and Kuantan( I know the sultan went to St Thomas school , I never hear the sultan ever using foul language to describe his subjects.

23. This business of using foul language and in ' owning' the sultan to achieve their own nefarious objectives must be the work of UMNO and it's UUCL- united UMNO Cyber Liars.

24. Then I saw a portal carrying a report about an ex army man(a born again Muslim wearing a kopiah) saying that we must build army camps on the hills. Those surrounding sungai Ruan and klau.

25. Wrong Tuan, build army or PFF camps surrounding the Raub land office or DFO office. Then shoo(t) whoever give and ask for bribes.

26. I have to ask another often ignored question. What to do, I am an unrepentant cynic .

27. The land, whatever its size , used for whatever economic endeavours, had to be cleared first, right?

28. Which means, the timber trees on the illegally alienated land, had to be cut. Who carted them off?

29. Could it then be, the extracted timber from the illegally alienated land be one of the sources of illegal logging that is rampant in pahang for many years?

30. If you sit at the warungs by the Raub district mosque, you can see a steady stream of lorries transporting the balak. Then you can speculate how many authorities are involved in the transportation of the logs .

31. The people who illegally alienated the same, never mind their race are definitely in the wrong . Take the appropriate legal actions on them.

32. But don't worsen the wrong by embellishing and augmenting it .

33. The district forestry office ought to know when the trees were cut. They ought to know even the types of timber and their value. They ought to know when the trees are to be taken out. Not doing what they are supposed to do is a dereliction of their duty.
