pre-script: feeling sad today, sigh… :(
Read the mainstream media, and it’s nothing but news of PKR internal chaos, infighting, people leaving, etc.
I’ve written about these before, but figured I would explore another conspiracy theory of the day.
It would appear that some opportunists may be taking advantage of the trial atmosphere – where DSAI and many around him focus on this one issue.
Perhaps some may think this is the perfect time to further their political careers, or start jockeying for position in a post-Anwar scenario. Under such circumstances, the selfish-minded have no qualms about tearing the party apart as they do so.
Needless to say, Umno rubs their hands in glee and eggs it all along. Who knows – perhaps this was the plan all along. They may or may not get their conviction, but the chaos they create along the way may (to their twisted calculations at least) still be worth it irregardless.
Far be it for me to tell one of Malaysia’s most prominent politicians (and ex-boss) what to do, but perhaps DSAI should consider putting his foot down while he still walks the streets freely.
This may be the perfect time for decisive leadership, and finding out once and for all who one’s real friends are. It’s clearly a terrible analogy, but if this were Ops Lalang, I think the lalang has grown taller than us by now.
Of course, no one is irreproachable in this mess. I have always believed that true leaders take ultimate responsibility for all mishaps under their watch, and clearly, greater effort is required to put out some of the real fires behind the mass of smoke.
At the end of it, a party will stronger without those who put personal interests before the nation’s, and with bold, improved leadership at the top.
Its time to do some house or spring cleaning

Nat, humans trapped in The Matrix are congenital liars. They can’t help it. Their ancestors were awed and shocked by a cruel, vindictive, punitive patriarchal god – and to avoid (or postpone) punishment humans became compulsive liars and spindoctors. It’s a serious problem because reality gets so distorted, it’s a miracle that anything works at all. Eckhart Tolle says it’s the ego that keeps spinning nonsense stories to give itself some validity and therefore perpetrate itself. We see this happening on a national scale, what more within a political party. The only hope lies in individuals (such as yourself) freeing themselves from all species of hype and keeping their minds clear and their hearts open – so they can continue seeing and speaking truth.
