When I am lying all alone in my bed at home and dying from the bitter cold and starvation I really don’t care two fucks about colours of envelopes or whether Muslims are leaving Islam to become Christians.
Yeah, sure, they are victims, they are poor, they are ignorant, they have been used for political purposes, they have been tricked, yada, yada, yada….But what have you done for them other than rant, rave, scream, moan, and bitch, that the angpows should have been in red packets and not white packets when you yourself did not bother to give them even one red cent?
Inilah Cina! If you go to a prostitute and you die after swallowing your dentures that is your problem. Stop screaming and shouting! And if you go to Perkasa’s Chinese New Year party and get insulted that is also your problem. Stop screaming and shouting!
As follows are the statistics for Malaysia Today from 1st January 2011 to 31st January 2012 compared to the year before that (1st January 2010 to 31st January 2011). By the way, you may have noticed that you can now comment without needing to register or requiring logging in. This is because many have complained they can no longer log-in and we still can’t figure out why.
What is even more irritating is that these people are pretending they do not understand what Anwar said (like they are pretending they do not understand what Karpal said). Actually they do understand (like they understand what I too said about my 2008 Statutory Declaration). This is what the Malays would call: bodoh-bodoh sepat (sepat is a fish that hides in the padi fields and pretends to be dead so that no one notices it).
As I said earlier, the government that is going to plan Malaysia’s future beyond 2020 is not about a popularity contest between two people. It is about what do we do about Malaysia’s aging population? Would we just dump them into old folks’ homes and let the Rotary Club or Lions Club worry about them? Or are we going to come out with a good policy to support them?
So, no, do not say if you are not with us then you are against us. That is a line borrowed from President Bush. Look at the bigger picture. It is not just about kicking out Umno the political party. It is about convincing the uncommitted Malays that we are not their enemy. Hence our arguments as to why we must vote ABU must not give an impression that ABU (anything but Umno) is actually ABM (anything but Malays).
Like I said, it is not the 6 million Unique Visitors that I am monitoring but the NEW visitors. We need to reach new readers -- the not yet committed or still undecided. And if Malaysia Today is merely a platform to let off steam and to curse Umno, Barisan Nasional, the Malays, Islam, the Indians, Hindraf, and whatnot, then the only people who are going to visit Malaysia Today would be the hard-core opposition supporters, the 30%, and not the uncommitted or undecided 40%.
We want to know more than just who is winning the popularity contest. We want to know from both Najib and Anwar what are their strategies to make Malaysia self-sufficient in food production and how long is this going to take? We also want to know what are the back-up plans and contingencies in the event there is crop failure in our neighbouring countries and they refuse to continue selling food to Malaysia?
I have written about the Menteri Besar of Kedah way before the March 2008 general election and before the MB became the MB. The story I wrote was about how he told a closed-door meeting of PAS members that Anwar Ibrahim is not really innocent of the charges against him. In other words, Anwar is guilty of sodomy as charged.
