Wow. If Abdullah doesn’t do something to defend his people, he’s sure gonna be spat on when he leaves.
Norza seems the latest victim in an early effort to ensure that Najib has everyone ‘in power’ under his thumb. If I were in Umno (haha), I’d be wary of so much power in one man’s hands.
Sure, Najib loyalists may be rubbing their hands in glee. It’s never a problem to watch other people getting persecuted.
But one day, if your boss decides to hang you out to dry for whatever reason (and these are easier to come by than you think), you’ll be sorry you let that one man amass so much power.
So, Abdullah has days to show whether he has any kind of consideration for loyalty. If he doesn’t do anything to protect his people, I wouldn’t be surprised if they became only too happy to cooperate should Najib decide to take some extra steps to make sure Abdullah doesn’t come back from retirement.
The clock is ticking Abdullah. Do the right thing.

I managed to make it to the book launch of Zaid Ibrahim’s Saya Pun Melayu and a biography of Tok Guru Nik Aziz today. The two gentlemen launched each other’s books, and Anwar was there (literally in between Batang Ai and Bkt Selambau – still the superhuman worker) to share some literary ruminations (something I think he quite enjoys).
I’m not sure I’ve heard Nik Aziz speak before, but he was fun to listen to. He reminds of other religious figures who seem to transcend religion – like a statesman in politics; people like the Dalai Lama or the Pope. The word ‘venerable’ comes to mind.
Tun Salleh Abas was there, and Anwar questioned when we were going to follow in the steps of Pakistan :) But no special announcement from Zaid (who also spoke entertainingly), if that was what you’re looking for.

Here’s a blog survey from an anthropologist who’d like to hear your thoughts :)
Aiyaa.. you are just a frog would jump 10 times a day! You are just rubbish as our PM simply paying out ex-gratia using Wang Rakyat for your own benefit!
Shame on you.. please don’t acted like you are a hero and a clean man!!! If can go ahead to invite your ex-gratia deal’s partner to joint you masuk PR lah.. semua berbau busuk sampah!!!
If Bodolah does nothing to stop this killer from becoming PM, we rakyat will make sure we would fight him till the last drop of blood.
Hell to Umno.. Hell to Najis..
What is this Malaysian? Seems more like the despot Mahathir speaking.
If you have nothing good or sensible to say, just keep quite. Difficult to figure out the head and the tail of what you are trying to say.
Compared to Zaid, Mahathir joined Umno, quit in 1970, joined again in 1973 and quit again in 2008. He is the one jumping in and out like a frog.
Frankly, I don’t pity any of them. I recalled when Badawi was first anointed, his loyalist were wreaking havoc in the public service; they were transferring every tom dick and Harry to the dog house to make way- it was a power grab reminiscent to the fall of Bagdad. One Malay Minister visited INFRA and scolded the duty chef for preparing Malay food: He scolded the DG because and I Quote: you do not know of my taste for Chinese meals? This dumb-ass Minister stuttered like an epileptic under seizure when Al Jazeera interviewed him during the Bersi rally. The Al Jazeera journalists forget to shove the mike down his throat. Anyway it was open season and the public service rank paid a price of humiliation and arbitrary transfers. This culture where you bury a man due to his impending death is prevalent in the Malay society – just say the word and everyone wants to move into your house. Malays indeed couldn’t be synonymies with Islam isn’t it? What you reap you sow. UMNO /BN members are cultured like a pack of hyenas they’ll track you down to the end of your proverbial career to pluck the flesh from out of your mouth.
Everyone knows najib paid 200 million yo bodowi. wat u expect la. Money does wonders,
What is this Putrajaya? Putrajaya PR ka???
You are really another supidfool lah… if he is a frog he will jump in and out into different party BUT Dr M is in his own loyal party! This is not a frog! That also you don’t understand! You are really a stupid frog lah..
Hi Nat, Could get this PR to run a campaign something like We love Malaysia, safe Malaysia from corrupt regime. And distribute FOC a copy of Federal Constitution to the public. Is the police going to confisticate the FC?
Hi – thanks for mentioning the survey :) There are 312 responses so far, and my target is 500. I’m beginning to believe that it might be reached!
