The Malaysian Political Scene is always one that is too credible to be true.
It is repeatedly Unpredictable. Funny. Stupid.
So far-fetched that it can get
embarrassing even for a third world country like Malaysia, whose current woes
evolve around plastic waste problems, river contaminations and racial
innuendoes. For the thinking community who bags home only fifty percent of their
take home salary (as a couple), with no rights to Bantuan Sara Hidup, or
MySalam Insurance, we ponder on a daily basis if there is ever going to be an
end to the UMNO Contemporary Circus.
I had to pinch myself over and over
again, to check and double check if the Return of The Najib-Zahidi Terrible Two
comeback is for real. And that I hadn’t zoned off into some hallucination mode.
I mean, dude, have the UMNO folks been
smoking weed or are they really daft?
Zahid, who went on bended knees, pleading
for his passport to perform his 31st Pilgrimage a few months ago –
comes back with his ever-smiley face, feeling elated and confident of winning
the next election. No wonder his nickname is Comedy. I would buy his stand-up
Comedy show, just to destress from time to time. It is probably cheaper than
the Thai Odyssey full body oil massage, for a total relaxation.
Not only that, armoured with Pentium-4
powered brain, Umno’s leadership members had collectively agreed to bring back
the Billion Dollar Thief as Top Adviser. And just like that, The Terrible Two
were accorded a second lease of life.
Speechless.
Never mind that together they recorded 42
+ 87 amount of charges of abuse of power, grafts, money laundering, etc.
Never mind that the 2.6B MYR 1MDB case is
still on-going.
Never mind that they used the GST money
to patch up holes everywhere in the accounting books and repeatedly say it
wasn’t stolen.
It looks like that their religion permits
them to deceive and steal to live on luxuries derived from abuse of power, for
as long as they do not eat pork or consume alcohol. If this is their philosophy, this must be
deemed the UMNO Way of Life. Not Islam. But UMNO.
The way of Life that it is absolutely
legitimate to deceive and manipulate the Rakyat, so that they can lower their
anchor at the French Riviera, sunbathe on 300-foot-long yacht and party all
night long.
The way of Life that encourages stealing
Billions of Ringgit transacted in a sophisticated and complicated manner, for
as long as it is not stealing a loaf of Gardenia Bread, captured on a CCTV.
Smitten rural folks must continue to
receive hand-outs and dazed into believing that the Government is continuously
taking care of them. Doesn’t matter where the money comes from!
For as long as you keep repeating in
court, The Mantra, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know…it wasn’t me, it
was everyone else’s fault except mine – you should be OK. The way I see it, UMNO’s Kickback and
Corruption practices are rather acceptable for the lazy, forgetful and ungrateful
bunch of people.
UMNO’s Golden Age Phenomenon is right now
at its peak. Rekindling with the personas that brought the Malay Party down,
first time in history, is absolutely the way forward to losing the next
election.
In a way, I should be glad.
