Tunku Aziz says Ta! Ta!

So Tunku Aziz will not be a law maker any more. Big news! His term was to expire anyway.

Tunku Aziz is a strange guy. Read what he said:

“I served Dewan Negara, not as an Opposition proponent but as a loyal citizen for the best interest of the country."

The principal object of that sentence is NOT AS AN OPPOSITION PROPONENT.

A young budding politician of 37-40 years old would tell him off. For what? For being an old jerk. Here was an opportunity for him to preach. The occasion demanded it but like the Bersih incident he ...was him. All he had to do was say something like -

“Thank you guys. I may want to go fishing more now but I won't catch any sharks. But before I pack up, I'm overawed at this opportunity in having served my motherland (or was it fatherland) Malaysia. I may have screwed you up from across the aisle but hey! we're doing all this for Malaysia. Whether you're an opposition member or government member we serve our nation. When we fell short you were there. And when you did too, we screwed you up real good. But hey! give me a call if you like fishing! Ta! ta! ”

Habis! Apalah cakap macam tu? When will it stop in the average Malaysian's mind that the opposition are traitors. PM and DPM and that skunk Ahmad Maslan say that all the time - opposition are traitors! Those skunks in tall songkoks, supporters of UMNO say that moning noon till night. Brahim Ali and Hasan Ali if they didn't say it they meant it. Especially in the kampungs. They're never shy anywhere.

The moment called for it. Tungku Aziz wasn't there at all.

Balik Kampung III | When chickens cross the road

I tell you, it's a long time since I heard a rooster crowed at the break of dawn.

There is a lot of argument on the Printing Press laws and the ISA and messages of democratization get waylaid. Big change is happening with DAP. They want to reach out to Malay voters, not to sell them pork which even some or more than some Chinese now don't eat, but to plead on rethinking views about how Malaysia can move on and prosper.

Perhaps the Chinese Press and broadsheets can do national duty by having a Bahasa Malaysia section. When these eventually gets used as grocery wrappers, the kampung folks could at least read them. Of course, among the Chinese Press, some are more Malay than Chinese. But it's really the damn printing press laws that essentially have stiffled community education in what newsprint can do.

Did you hear a rooster crow? I just did. Even in broad light in Kuching City. Must hear another at dawn someday.

Utusan Malaysia | Freely pandered, indecent, irresponsible, irrefutably and irredeemably obscene.

Malaysian Journalists meekly went to view porn openly when invited by UMNO politicians. Nothing happened. They should have surrendered themselve to the Police. None did.

The Malaysian Government regulates newspapers by the legislation they put up years ago, called the Media and the Printing Press Act. Newspapers need a licence to operate and the decision rests with the Minister of Home Affairs. Here lies the problem.

Malaysians broadly regard all the licensed Newspapers as cronies of the Establishment and those who are not, don't get to do the bizness of selling news and newspapers. In broader terms, there's political and economic repression. Those that reported the transgressions of the authorities are immediately deregistered and banned.

Broadsheets like Utusan Malaysia are legally licensed for the bizness but since the Government censors news incriminating them Utusan has loyally taken the cue and wantonly published news incriminating the Oppositiom and anything else by public notions of indecency.

In a free society you publish and you be damned. But since Malaysia isn't Utusan gets away with murder and more public indecency.

This scaremongering "news", the rumor about Malaysian Chinese who have only 40 seats in the 220 seats in Parliament but will take over Parliament is pure dung. Further, conditionally, when they do they'll change the "official" religion of the country and use Christianity instead which is of course more dung.

Are the Directors of Utusan wrong in law? Substantially not! Why? It's generally not illegal if on April Fools day, you publish news that the Moon has fallen on Pulau Babi. Why should you read pure dung? And why should you pay for it, too?

There's a difficult catch here. The Ministry of Home Affairs stops and bans "other Malaysian" from publishing the truth or some truths, not to say nonsense which those other papers banned and deregistered in the past, did not do all. So The Minister sits on his job literally acting like, despite his honorifics, really a less savoury character.

In this case, technically, Utusan has done nothing wrong publishing rubbish. The trouble is people are still buying them because the Minister says you have no choice. In a healthy and free society, you would "bungkus tikar" or go bust as no one would buy your dung. I would defend Utusan to go bust. Or I would buy them at 1.5 % of net asset value. It's their right to commit harakiri. But since publication in Malaysia is not so varied, choices are there though not any different than Utusan. Worst still they are controlled in equities or some other means by BN Government cronies.

So the Minister of Home Affairs commands the Utusan, by law, to publish rubbish legally. That's a groundbreaking thing, though. It must be one of those "transformation" projects of the Prime Minister. He must have more of where that comes from.

Can you drag the Malaysian Government to Court? No. But you can punish this government at this coming general elections. You have all the reasons to.

It's quite simple really. As for Utusan, I have some use for it - free, as disposable wrapping for my cat's shit.

Debates | Here, there and everywhere

We have Hata Wahari detained under house arrest by a private Media Company, Utusan Malaysia. That is being debated.

Then there is yet to be a Debate between Anwar Ibrahim and PM Najib Razak . Debates about The Debate are raging.

Where Debates should occur in the Legislature, one is coming up in Selangor.

Debates are popping out everywhere. Debates are coming out of our hair. It shouldn't make you "pull your hair"!

Someone in Sarawak tried a White Pepper Paper against all debates.

It's hot all over. Amongst all of these, the Selangor debate is essentially important. A good resolution of the problem will bring much tranquility into our lives as it enshrines the very spirit of how we might try to live in a good measure of peace and prosperity.

About the only thing the Gomen Media and all "their Private Media" did not do was to have caught Flu Babi. Though many would disagree!

Don't you miss Zam?! And he had said we only had "erections" once every 4 years! We have one every month now. We can't have one daily. At 51 Malaysia is aging!
