Sad to say, however, Malaysians banyak cakap (talk a lot). Like fart, Malaysians are just a load of hot air. And, like fart, the hot air is noisy and smelly. If talking were an Olympic event, Malaysians would sweep all three medals -- gold, silver and bronze. Because that’s all Malaysians do -- talk a lot or banyak cakap.
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Hishammuddin Hussein wants to stay neutral. He is not going to get involved in the tussle between BERSIH and PERKASA. One is organising the march on 9th July 2011 while the other opposes the march and has indicated it may organise a ‘counter-march’.
The Police, however, have threatened to take action. The Police, which comes under Hishammuddin, are not going to stay neutral. They are going to embark on ‘preventive detention’. This means they may detain some people, probably those involved in organising the march, before the march to thwart the attempt.
The government realises how dangerous it is to allow the march to go on. To a certain extent the November 2007 march, BERSIH 1.0, had an affect on the March 2008 general election. They are worried that the BERSIH 2.0 march may also affect the next general election, whenever that may be held -- probably on 11 November 2011 or 11-11-11 according to some estimates.
Whatever it is, developments in the Middle East have shown that when people take to the streets this can be bad news for the ruling elite. Those who walk in the corridors of power fear people’s power. They know that when the people unite that spells doom for the powers-that-be.
And BERSIH 1.0 united the people as will BERSIH 2.0 if it is allowed to go on.
All through history it is proven that 1% of the people rule over 99% of the people. This is true anywhere in the world and whichever era you may look at. That is what power is all about. It is about 1% of the people dominating the other 99%. And when the 99% rise up and unite then that is the end for the rule of the 1%.
Analyse any country and any era, the most recent to the farthest in history. Whether it is the French Revolution, The American Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, the Iranian Revolution, or whatever, when the 99% revolt the 1% is in deep shit.
So the people must never be allowed to take to the streets. Taking to the streets unites the people like what we saw in Egypt recently. Jews, Christians and Muslims, who may be sworn enemies for more than 1,000 years, suddenly become comrades-in-arms when they are on the streets. So they must be kept off the streets. And this is why BERSIH 2.0 is dangerous and must be thwarted. BERSIH 1.0 has shown us that.
So the government is in a panic. Malaysians must never unite. A united Malaysian will end the rule of the 1% over the 99%. History has taught us that.
Our Lords (Tuan) and one-time Colonialist masters taught us well. Were we not a British colony and the recipients of a British education? And did the British not prove that 1% could rule over 99% all over the world as long as the 99% remain divided?
When the 99% in India united, the British had to beat a hasty retreat back to England. When the Malays, Chinese and Indians of Malaya united under the Alliance Party, the British had to concede to independence or Merdeka for Malaya.
That is a fact of history. And we have learned well from the British. We know that the British divide-and-rule strategy perpetuates the rule of the 1% over the 99%. Only when the 99% unite and cease being divided will the 99% become a danger to the 1%.
191 Malaysians rule over the 28 million Malaysians. That is even less than 1%. The 191 Malaysians are all Umno division leaders, the Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak and his Deputy Muhyiddin Yassin being two of those 191.
These 191 Umno division leaders choose their party President and Deputy President. And the President and Deputy President are elected into office uncontested (menang tanpa tanding) in an annual general assembly attended by less than 3,000 people.
So, 191 people choose the top two leaders of this country and just over 2,500 confirm them into office. Which means, these 191 division leaders and 2,500 delegates decide the future of the entire nation of 28 million Malaysians.
But this can only continue as long as the 28 million Malaysians do not unite and do not take to the streets. Only then can the 191 Umno division leaders and 2,500 Umno delegates continue to rule this country of 28 million. The British Colonial masters have taught us this. And the Indians in India have taught us this.
So Malaysians must never be allowed to unite and must never be allowed to take to the streets in a show of unity. Or else this will end the rule of the 1% over the 99%.
In November 2007, during BERSIH 1.0, the government failed to prevent the march and that resulted in the March 2008 ‘disaster’ for the ruling elite. If the BERSIH 2.0 is not stopped, and if the people take to the streets and unite, then assume that the next general election will be a repeat of the March 2008 ‘disaster’ for Barisan Nasional.
Sad to say, however, Malaysians banyak cakap (talk a lot). Like fart, Malaysians are just a load of hot air. And, like fart, the hot air is noisy and smelly. If talking were an Olympic event, Malaysians would sweep all three medals -- gold, silver and bronze. Because that’s all Malaysians do -- talk a lot or banyak cakap.
Let’s see how many Malaysians take to the streets on 9th July 2011. Let’s see how many of those banyak cakap Malaysia Today readers take to the streets on 9th July 2011.
The BERSIH 2.0 organisers are aiming for a crowd of 300,000. I dare bet that less than 100,000 will be there. In fact, even 100,000 can be considered too high. If they can get 50,000 on the streets that in itself can be regarded as a success.
And because of this nothing will change. The next elections will be called and Barisan Nasional will still win and will still be the federal government.
Can Pakatan Rakyat retain the four states now under its control? Can it get back Perak? Can it add Negeri Sembilan to its list? Can it win back the 82 seats it won in the last general election? Can it increase its one seat in Sabah and one seat in Sarawak to 20 out of a total of 57 for the two states? Can we see Pakatan Rakyat win at least 100 Parliament seats leaving Barisan Nasional with just 120 or so?
In short, will the next general election see the emergence of a two-party system and a strong opposition?
Or will Pakatan Rakyat see only Kelantan and Penang still under its rule? And will the 82 seats it won in March 2008 be reduced to 50? And will Barisan Nasional sweep East Malaysia like it did in March 2008?
In short, will the next general election see the opposition fortunes turn and our dream of a two-party system and a strong opposition dashed?
Yes, that is what BERSIH 2.0 is all about. So, jangan banyak cakap. As Nike says: JUST DO IT! Not what Umno says: JUST DUIT! I am tired of reading all your comments in Malaysia Today, which are merely lepas geram and maki hamun. That is mere verbal diarrhoea. It is mainly masturbating or ‘syiok sendiri’.
Get off your arse and do something. Stop shouting and start acting. And if we do not see 300,000 on the streets on 9th July 2011 then we might as well call it a day. I might as well stop wasting my time and close down Malaysia Today. Clearly Malaysia Today’s readers are just a bunch of hot air and no action.
That is what fart is: bising dan busuk tapi tak berguna satu sen.

I am sure the article herein-above by RPK is not directed at me because Al-Jazeera will be looking for me again in Bersih 2.0.
Come and join me … bring along a mineral water, some salt and a literally wet twin good-morning towel wrap in plastic bag. One important tip – from now on or at least two weeks before the occasion you must exercise and keep fit by jogging, everyday.
IF THE POLICE ARE OUT TO ARREST US, JUST DO NOT RESIST, WE JUST OFFER OURSELVES TO BE DETAINED AND SEE HOW THEY COULD ACCOMMODATE THOUSAND OF US IN THE LOCKUP.

The Chinese has a favorite saying: " CHOEU PEE POO SIANG !" " SIANG PEE POO CHOEU !" ( Meaning : Smelly fart has no sound ! Sounding fart does not smell !
To avoid ngomong-ngomong kosong , then it is time for writers and readers to post problems in RPK's MT for every one interested to contribute to solving such problems posted ! RPK seems to be sounding very agitated recently ! (ONLY A SAINT "MIGHT NOT" BE SO !) Perhaps RPK himself may be able also to come up with problems for interested wizards to solve ! The main problem is the continued existence of the ruling Federal powers and the "sloppy attitude of the PR" in its direction to reach Putrajaya !
The Rakyat has been long hurt by the ruling Feds and are still in quite a daze as to how to get themselves out of the mud pit as most voters have long been too addicted by the candies and lollipops sprinkled among them during each election ! The Feds are good "penglipurlara" too besides being wayang-kulit master tekongs !
Admin has the option to vet and not publish "smelly farts "!!!!!
RPK, UNITED WE STAND !

People who eat meat and rich foods have smelly fart. People who don't eat don't fart at all.
btw, you said yourself that Malaysian politics is characterised by 2 groups vying for the support of the voters and the people are not really involved at all. So ... are Malaysians ready for change this time?

However the trend is changing and I do hope many more will be more courageous than Bersih 1.0.
Bersih should be organised in all states and not just in KL. The whole country must rise up and demonstarte their rights peacefully. All the rakyats in the other states must be given a chance to air their thoughts and opinions.
