Mr Lock Down Prime Minister - Backdoor and Betrayal

Muhyiddin Yassin, the 8th prime minister of Malaysia, was appointed by the king on 29 February 2020 and sworn in on 1 March 2020. He admitted that the was not elected by the people to be the prime minister. He was appointed by the king on the basis that he might be (or mungkin in Malay language) able to secure the support from the majority of parliamentarians. 

Regrettably, the opposition had the majority support of at least 112 parliamentarians on 29 February 2020. There are a total of  222 parliamentarians elected by the people to Malaysian parliament. Up till the date he was sworn in and to date, there has been no certainty as to his command of majority of the parliament.

At the date of writing, he has been in power without a proven majority support of the parliament. A scheduled seating of parliament was immediately postponed by him. In just 2 weeks into his prime ministership, he also declared a lock down of the country due to the failure of his government to control the widespread respiratory infections caused by coronavirus (Covid-19). It is unclear if the parliament will ever be reconvened under this lock down.

Muhyiddin had the guts to inform Malaysians that he might not be elected by them to be the prime minister but he cared for them. Mr lock down PM, you were not elected by Malaysians to care for them. Why would they want the 'care' of someone who had betrayed his predecessor and undemocratically seized power? As a Malay will tell you, "Tak tanya pun? Tak malu ke?" ("We dont ask for it. Not a shameful act?")

The cabinet ministers hastily appointed by Muhyiddin within days are equally bizarre bunch of people.

There is this Fact or Fake quiz going around in Malaysia now:

1. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba advised drinking warm water to help kill Covid-19.
2. Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin wore a white sanitation suit so that she could spray disinfectant in Kuala Lumpur.
3. The Women and Family Development Ministry, under Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun, advised women to wear make-up at home and to speak like Doraemon to their husbands to avoid conflict during the movement control order (MCO) period.
4. Deputy Women and Family Development Minister Siti Zailah Mohd Yusoff tweeted that the likelihood of dying from Covid-19 is only 1% while the possibility of dying at any moment is 100%.
5. Minister of Higher Education Noraini Ahmad was busy joining hands with the so called 'influencers' to organise a tik tok contest for creative video clips when all the tertiary students are having disruption to their lessons while they are locked down in their hostels and disallowed to return home. Uncertainty clouds their minds as their parents are confronted with job security because businesses and the overall economy are adversely shattered by the nationwide lock down.

Illogical as it may seem, all the above are absolutely true facts. The morale of this story is to never ever allow rogues taking over your democracy and your country.

Please do not take advice of Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba. World Health Organisation (WHO) has a specific denial against this claim.

PPBM - Penyatuan Pemain Beruk M...

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away ...

There was this Alliance of Monkey Players in Melaisia, which is more commonly known as PPBM (Peyatuan Pemain Beruk Melaisia). The president of PPBM, Mr Moo Hiduck lived his life everyday wanting to get himself qualified as a PM, Pemain Maha. It was the highest title that a monkey player could possibly get and it carried the power to rule the monkey business in Melaisia.

President Moo had to work with the extremist monkey players who were rather well known bandits from UMNO (United Monkey Native Origin) and PAS (Pemain Angkuh Se-Melaisia) to be qualified. He had the help of the infamous hypocrite called AA (Anus Annihilator). It was surprising to many that Moo was willing to sacrifice his fellow monkey players in PPBM for the sake of his title as the PM of Melaisia.

While he finally got his dream come true by holding the PM title to rule, his supporters lost out at numerous lower levels of power bases to the bandits of BN and PAS. PPBM was in reality too small and did not have enough support for Moo to be the PM. It was simply a much smaller organisation in comparison to the well networked UMNO and PAS, which have been in money business- I meant monkey playing business for a long time.

Did PM Moo care?
He was obviously too busy enjoying the fame and glory that came with the status of PM. His fellow PPBM members were pitifully played out by the bandits. For a man who back-stabbed his own chairman or founder to take over the control of PPBM, no one could logically expect him to care for his own supporters other than paying lip service to them.

Was PM Moo powerful?
He might have gotten his wish to be the PM but he did not have much say in ruling Melaisia. Moo was only a PM as much as the bandits from UMNO and PAS were backing him as the PM. He was a lame duck PM that those bandits could toy around like a puppet. These bandits had a long history of criminal charges against them. They were propping up Moo to serve their own self interest of eventually evading all criminal charges. Moo had not choice but to yield to their demand and manipulation because he would lose his PM title if he did not do so.

Why was Moo doing this?
He was desperately to be a PM. It was a dream he wanted at all costs. The costs of his dream would be the country again plunged into poverty since the bandits were de facto back in charge. They would get away with their illegal activities and wrongdoings like how they used.

No wonder Melaisia is also known as Bolehland. It is a land of endless possibilities...

PPBM - Persatuan Pelawak Bersama Monyet ?

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) is part of the coalition government of Malaysia. Prime minister of this government, Mahathir Mohamad is the leader of PPBM. There is a lack of talent in PPBM beyond Mahathir, who is well known for his authoritarian leadership. Ministers appointed by Mahathir from his own PPBM party are looking more like jokers than serious leaders.

2nd joker is initially meant for Maszlee bin Malik. Please allow me to downgrade him to 3rd joker subsequent to his unexpected resignation recently. Although I am not writing about Maszlee since his downgrade to the 3rd joker. There is a preview of Maszlee here.

The 2nd joker is now officially Syed Saddiq. He is the minister of youth and sport. A 28 year old young man from Johor. He was known for his debating skills having won several competitions. Ability to argue and elaborate apparently does not mean the ability to execute. His dream team for Southeast Asian's SEA Games did poorly. He however has been commenting about affairs which are the scope of other ministries such as those on entrepreneur development, education, international trade and investment.

While he was attending a PPBM function with his parents in Johor recently, he was reported to have run away because of disturbance by a group of bullies. He climbed fence and headed to the nearby jungle (probably interfering with some resting monkeys along the way). There are a few valid questions about the whole incident which portrayed him as a victim.

• It was a PPBM function by its members. Surely, there were many of them who could hold off the so called bullies.
• He left his parents to deal with the bullies? There was no mention of what had happened to his parents. He is probably not a caring son.
• He is a minister who should be able to call upon the police officers to control the bullies. He and his aides surely carry mobile phones. Malaysia is still a country of law and order.
• He may be garnering sympathy votes and support knowing that PPBM is holding its election soon. 

Official photo. Good lighting of photo even though he is escaping

Najib: He left his mum behind?

The whole reported incident was worthy to be ridiculed even by probably the worst kleptocract of all mankind, Najib Razak. 

On the other hand, he has a branding as Super Saddiq - Minister of Youth Power. His official title is probably too boring for him or he is not appreciative of his position. The edited photo on the left as below was done by unknown netizens. It has not been independently verified or substantiated. The photo on the right below is reported to be the genuine photo. With a 'superman' background, this minister is probably too full of himself.

What else are PPBM ministers are capable of ?

PPBM - People's Preferred Band of Monkeys?

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) is part of the coalition government of Malaysia. Prime minister of this government, Mahathir Mohamad is the leader of PPBM. There is a lack of talent in PPBM beyond Mahathir, who is well known for his authoritarian leadership. Ministers appointed by Mahathir from his own PPBM party are looking more like jokers than serious leaders.

1st Joker - Mohd Redzuan Mohd Yusof, entrepreneur development minister, has neither entrepreneur skills nor ministerial leadership. He is more interested in 'flying car' than entrepreneur developments for the people. Malaysia is not known for aeronautical engineering, aviation excellence, battery technology, material science, etc; which are absolutely required to build a flying car. You are talking about building something akin to a helicopter or an airplane. Malaysia can not even build a car without paying for and adopting the technology from Japan or China. There you have it - entrepreneur minister who boasts about building a flying car. Below is the 1st impression of his model flying car:

Mohd Redzuan further claimed that this flying car project is strictly private funded by corporate entities without using public funds. Malaysian parliament’s public accounts committee (PAC) has however disputed Mohd Redzuan’s claim that no public funds were used for the “flying car” project. A Malaysian governmental entity had to channel RM20 million into the company undertaking this flying car because of Mohd Redzuan.

The prototype showcased eventually was a ready-made drone (eHang) from China that is available for sale to the public.

This minister is also the one who smokes a cigar when there is a big signboard of  No Smoking. He is clearly not serious about abiding the laws or cares for the well-being of others.

2nd joker from PPBM will be detailed next month.

Malu Apa Bossku ??

When the shit hits the fence, even a prime minister would suddenly not know anything happening around him what more around the country. Despite the fact that he had utilise billions of Ringgit, from monies that he did not know anything, to benefit himself personally and politically. He did not know anything - he just signed the documents and the cheques only...

This prime minister is none other than Najib Razak, the sixth prime minister of Malaysia. He should have told Malaysians in 2009 that he had all along wanted to be a prime minister that did not know anything. Malaysians would at least have a chance to vote on it when he sought to be re-elected in the 2013 general election. During the campaign of 2013 general election, his posters were everywhere to the extent of undermining the popularity of candidates contesting in their respective constituencies.

I supposed he did not know that his party was going to put his photos on campaigning posters everywhere throughout the country. 

I guessed he did not know what he was signing in relation to this mosque.

Does he even know anything about Bossku and that T-shirt with 'no shame' catchy phrase? Not forgetting the fact that he signed off as 'Bossku'.

Najib would of course not know anything about the changes to the election regulations and boundaries that benefited him and his party prior to 2018 general election. Would he ?

What would he know?!?  This is my question to all the Bossku supporters.

M for Menace ?

Mahathir Mohamad, the prime minister of Malaysia for the 2nd time, is known to speak his mind against other countries since his 1st time as prime minister of Malaysia (1981 -2003). He continues to do so todate. He recently angered a large number of the population in India by saying the below:

His choice of words of "invaded and occupied" really left a bad taste. It was really unnecessary for a conflict that has been going on more than seven decades.

Prior to that he raised dissatisfaction from the people of China and the leadership in Hong Kong by saying the below:

The reality is that Mahathir is a leader of the 80's and 90's. His style and thoughts are at times unsuitable for 2019 approaching 2020's. He does not realise that his ways are outdated today. India and China were much weaker economies in the 80's and 90's. They could not do much when criticism was thrown at them. They are however both the largest economic powers of Asia and the world today.

Being Asians, they are more sensitive to what people say about them. They care for face more than the Western countries. Mahathir used to criticise the USA and the UK, but those country did not give a hoot about what Mahathir said. Malaysia is a small country hardly noticeable in the global front. On the other hand, India and China pay sufficient attention to Malaysia. They bother to be upset with its leader's unnecessary comments. While Mahathir is happy that he is getting attention, the ordinary Malaysians are suffering the consequences of his comments. 2 million people in the oil palm industry has suffered as India shunned supplies from Malaysia.

It is time for Malaysia to move on and progress without the baggages of this 94 year old prime minister. He is simply dated and unable to cope with the current times. We cannot blame him knowing his age but Malaysia can do without him.

Nazir Razak is No Angel

Nazir Razak, a younger brother of Najib Razak who is now under multiple money laundering, corruption and abuse of power suits, has always appeared as a gentleman to many people. He is well known in the banking fraternity as a bright banker who works hard for banking deals. He was the CEO of Commerce International Merchant Bank and thereafter the chairman of CIMB banking group.

Nazir released a statement today that he would seek to engage with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to resolve the matter of alleged 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) money transferred into his account. Nazir should have done so when the forfeiture for his receipt of illegal money was initiated by MACC almost 4 months ago in June 2019. What took him so long?

Nazir claimed that he has been a vocal and frequent critic of 1MDB. It is true that he did voice his concern about 1MDB and mentioned 1MDB's potential problems to the economy. He did nothing but making verbal remarks. He could have done something more affirmative to at least help curb the expanding 1MDB abuses. What he did was almost like he was creating a verbal distance from his brother to safeguard his interest in the event that his brother is in trouble.

Perhaps it was difficult for him to do anything because he is a younger brother, but Nazir is a big man with high stature internationally who can certainly do more than just speaking a few words every now and then. The fact that he kept quiet about taking RM25.7 million until its exposure to the press meant that he was less than honest. As a banker and younger brother of Najib, he should know better about Najib's finances. Nazir's brother took in RM2,600 million donation from one person. Nazir, a seasoned and well known banker, believed this? Please remember that Nazir asked his staff to distribute the money in 'no question asked' situation. While Nazir did not know the source of his brother's money was possibly illegal, he knew the adverse consequences that could be caused by the siphoning of 1MDB's money to the Malaysian economy. This is in itself self-contradictory.

Nazir further claimed that the boards of CIMB group and CIMB Bank conducted a full review of what transpired with the help of an accounting firm and a legal firm. He was cleared by the boards of directors. These directors were either his friends or his appointees. Nazir, your brother used the same tactic to clear his name too! Nazir should have gone to the police and MACC for real investigation to be made after his brother was thrown out of power by the Malaysians in the historic general election on 9 May 2018. Nazir did nothing like that. 

Nazir is perhaps a smart wolf in sheep's skin. He could have done better and more. He did not. He could have been more transparent but he did not. He did what he thought was enough to clear him of all blames and crimes. That is Razak family...
