What a snake oil salesman. Kononnya:

THE EIGHT VALUES OF 1MALAYSIA
A Culture of Excellence,
Perseverance,
Humility,
Acceptance,
Loyalty,
Meritocracy,
Education,
Integrity

See how our friend is so careful to avoid words such as "Equality". Shouldn't that be the bedrock in realising the dream of 1Malaysia? I mean, he keeps on blabbing about unity and even has a nice song-and-dance - Satu Suara - about it! No unity without equality, right?. Instead, 1Malaysia sells us the idea of "Humility". What? We should just accept whatever lot the govt deems to shit on us? Like that, of course we need lots of "Perseverance" to get through life under BN in Malaysia!

Also missing from the 1Malaysia lexicon is "Rule of Law". Of course, by now it's obvious why he would not want to instil this in the 1Malaysia propaganda. In its place 1Malaysia presents us with "Acceptance" & "Loyalty". Grab power illegaly by totally ripping the Constitution, Standing Orders, protocols, procedures and morality to shreds, then tell the people to "Accept" the reality and be "Loyal" to the "legitimate" state govt.

What about "Justice"? There are so many cases where the court's judgement is seen to be biased in favour of certain parties. So much so that it does not take much effort to divine the results of cases if certain people are involved. When there is no justice in a nation, how can there be "Meritocracy"? And the whole idea of "Integrity" in 1Malaysia is just a huge fallacy.

How about "Political Awareness and Maturity"? 1Malaysia calls for "Loyalty" - loyalty to whom? There are plenty of people who have undying loyalties in Malaysia - some are loyal to PKR, some to DAP, some to PAS, some to PRM. Some people are not aligned to any particular political party (for example, myself) but we are loyal to Malaysia herself. How come people with these kinds of loyalty are treated as differently as heaven and earth compared to those whose loyalties are with BN and the Almighty Ringgit? Is 1Malaysia's idea of "Loyalty" that of the subservient serf's utter surrender to the heaven-mandated almighty ruler? Does such a feudal mentality have a place in modern Malaysia?

Anyway, who the F*** died and made you Agung to demand this kind of loyalty?!

1Malaysia is also deafeningly silent regarding "Separation of Powers"? This concept is vital for a viable democracy to work. Otherwise, we will just be like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) - ruled by a despot with some slight token forms of democracy. But, in despot nations like N. Korea, "Education" is indeed a TOP PRIORITY! Without "Education" the government would not be able to keep the people ignorant and teach them to blindly trust the government!

Why would 1Malaysia be so careful to avoid people's political awareness?

What about "Respecting the Institutions of State"? Culture of excellence, konon. In the last year, we have seen the blatant abuse of power and manipulation of state instruments, govt agencies and supposedly independent bodies to justify and facilitate all kinds of excesses and abuses. As a result, Malaysia's standing in the world's eyes is slipping lower and lower by the day, as can be seen in our various world rankings. Investments are slow in coming in and more and more businesses are pulling out of Malaysia because of this. This will have a real negative impact on our economy - your job and my job and our families' security is at stake here.

And this brings me to my next point.

Why would 1Malaysia be so silent about "reforms"? That is the one thing thst the country desperately needs. The rot has set in so deep that it has reached niches that many people are not even aware of. Yet, there is not even a peep from 1Malaysia about reforms. Instead, we are treated to cheap unimaginative political cliches like "Integrity", "Meritocracy" and "Culture of Excellence".

And what about "Human Rights"? Our own human rights bodies express alarm at the number of deaths in police lockups, the ISA arrests and a host of other issues. Shouldn't 1Malaysia be concerned about this? Apparently not!

Sudah la, Najib. When you came into power and announced all your so-called "changes", I gave you a chance despite my skepticism. But now, after the Perak State Assembly gangsterism tactics, what you really is really beyond any shadow of doubt.

The gloves come off again on this blog.

1Malaysia is too obviously nothing more than a big con perpetrated upon the country's unsuspecting fools and die-hard supporters desperate to believe BN still has any legitimacy. Sorry la, I got better things to do than to listen to your worthless crapping.

At least snake oil salesmen had the decency to charm their audiences while working their con.

Hey, how about you guys penning down your thoughts here about how great Najib's 1 Malaysia idea really is?

  1. Eyes Wide Open,

    Very well said.

    Yes, Speaker YB V Sivakumar had done Malaysia, its National/State Constitution, Democracy & the Rule of Law PROUD!

    Former Lord President Tun Mohamed Suffian Hashim repeatedly insisted in his foundational written texts that in Malaysia,
    the constitution and nothing but the constitution is “the supreme law of the land”.

    Malaysia cannot afford to see constitutional principles imperilled, and constitutional processes jeopardised –

    not even out of an understandable impatience, or a conscientious determination, to see the urgent political and practical problems of the day speedily resolved.

    Clive S Kessler is Emeritus Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at the School of Social Science and International Studies at the University of New South Wales in Australia.

    Malaysia badly needs NEW “Role Model” established Leaders & Politicians of HONOUR with Calibre, Maturity & Tolerance without Fear or Favour – not “Recycled Politicians”.

    Further, this nation Desperately needs Intelligent, Time Proven Pragmatic Successful modelled, Financial & Politiical “SOLUTIONS” NOW, to mitigate the IMPENDING Political & Financial fallout.

    What is new in this Bolehland?

    UMNO/BN are having “New Clowns” in the “Same Ketuanan Paradigm Outfit”.

    The Muslim Hadhari UMNO Ketuanan/BN Leaders are “Bankrupt of Intelligent, Legal, Constitutional, Political, Financial etc SOLUTIONS”....

    In Ipoh on 7/5/09 it is another of their “Wayang Kulit” when they already had THEIR “Master Plan” approved & their “Mercenaries” identified to undertake the Institutional, GLCs, projects, etc plus the “Coup d’etat” at the DUN....

    They & their “Mercenaries” will always be in Denial & therefore resort to “Alternative Tactics” which can only be found in their Gutter Politics & Law of the Jungle “Holy Book”!

    Party promotions based on “patronisation, money politics, etc” without “Meritocracy and Proven Track Records” leads to “Leaders” that UMNO is inheriting – “Elite, Ketuanan UMNO BEGGARS”....

    Remember....One must always be MAGNANIMOUS in VICTORY....

    TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE ONE RIGHT....

    UMNO Baru is too deep in its 4th stage “Terminal Cancer” NOW, to be CURED”....Period!

    Through “Devine” intervention, UMNO, its Leaders & their Mercenaries are now “Outdoing & Destroying” each other with their “Power, Greed & Henious Crimes”.

    Every new day will be another “New Revelation” to reveal another “Truth” in its Self Destruct motion towards its “Demise”.

    Just give them enough rope to “Hang” themselves at every turn in their “Final” chapter.

    Do keep up your “Prayers” to God Almighty in your own way for “Sanity, Human Rights, Justice, Freedom, Equality & Peace to “Prevail” over “EVIL”

    Devine Intervention works Wonders.

  2. Eyes Wide Open,

    Moral of the story....when the PR Leader (Speaker) was under threat, where were the 2nd & 3rd line Leaders (ex-MB, etc) to provide backup, diversions, etc at the battlefront?

    UMNO/BN had their Legal & Operations Director in Datuk Shafee advising Zam before & during the adjournment, but PR had no equivalent....

    PR cannot just hold on to their "Constitutional Rights" alone but have to "Think, Plan, Strategise & ACT" beyond "Outside the Box"....

    To counter whatever is at "Play" accordingly....

    PR Speaker should have nominated ex-MB, etc to send off Raja Nazrin with the "Threatening" situation at hand....

    If PR Speaker & ex-MB thought they had managed to have a "Word or Two" with Raja Nazrin to support them, then they were "Mistaken" as UMNO/BN has Raja Nazrin by his Orbs/Jugulars"

    The PR Aduns were "Outmatched & mislead into UMNO/BN's TRAP".

    Further they have been "ZOMBIED & DUMBED" by the UMNO/BN's Bomoh spell to finally be "OVERWHELMED" by UMNO/BN's Charade at the Dewan sitting to unlawfully & physically remove their PR "Speaker"....

    Never underestimate your opponents, especially when they play by their "Gutter Politics & Law of the Jungle" Holybook.

    Do keep up your “Prayers” to God Almighty in your own way for “Sanity, Human Rights, Justice, Freedom, Equality & Peace to “Prevail” over “EVIL”

    Devine Intervention works Wonders.

    Cheers.
