Najib's comeuppance will come soon.

There is nothing to shout about at Najib’s declaration that he is not afraid of anyone, except Allah almighty. It was only a Tarzan-esque chest-thumping gesture to reassure him and his home supporters. Mustn’t upset the punters! Bums on the seats, bums on the seats.

The only ones celebrating with him are his toadying sycophants.

Najib’s footprints and handprints are all over the 1MDB financial scandal. No one is blind to that. 
We have here a crooked leader and his corrupt government. He has been singled out as MO1. The nature of his links with 1MDB will be spilled out sooner or later. Don’t be fooled by his what-me-worry Alfred Newman’s composure.

It’s disgraceful- nobody is quarreling with Malaysia. The quarrel is with Najib. Najib did not steal in the name of this country. He uses this country to legitimise his pillage. The country does not abandon him, Najib abandons Malaysia.

As to not being afraid of anyone, everyone can say that. More so, such personal affirmation is not limited to the Muslim only. Other people of any religious denomination will say he is not afraid of anyone mortal except his immortal God. Except that Najib speaks in his capacity as PM- what he says therefore has a higher decibel level. But that is all.

He is afraid or not afraid of God, is not relevant to us. Since he is a Muslim, I take it that when he spoke those words, he has in mind, only a Muslim audience. So we shall answer him- hello brader- all Muslims are not afraid of anyone except Allah.

If he Najib is afraid, he would not have created 1MDB; he would not have committed all those wrongdoings with 1MDB. Actually he mocks Allah. Allah does not hurl lighting spears to skewer Najib while he was delivering his speech on stage.

If he is afraid of God, why protect Shahrol Azral, why fire Ghani Patail, why kick out Muhyidin, intimidate MACC officers, some police, and why place the whole of Malaysia in economic harm’s way? Shall we wait for God to reveal the answers to Najib since he has arrogated himself as the chief spokesman and interpreter of whom God likes or dislikes? A few weeks ago, one minion of a leader described Najib as God’s gift to the Malays.

It is not difficult to envisage that soon, some UMNO brown noses will declare Najib as God’s shadow on earth. I think that has already happened when Nazri Aziz declared that whatever the president does, must be supported absolutely. That invitation to complete obeisance is usually reserved for the Sultan who is described in such reverential terms.

Ergo, Hail Sultan Najib.

Just don’t be a pompous braggart. Najib has no special relationship with Allah. Allah is no UMNO member. Or could it be, that I have missed some piece of crucial information that has declared that Najib has gotten special dispensation and permission from God that he can steal, rob and plunder the country? Or could I have missed any announcement that declared that God is an UMNO member who must answer and obey the omnipotent party president?  The great leader?

Then, all hail Kim il Najib.

So please stop being sanctimonious by dragging Allah’s name to save your skin. The rapist appearing before the judge in court wears a skullcap and dressed himself in some religious accoutrement.   He thinks God is on his side already. There is a similarity between Najib invoking God’s name and the rapist who now appears with a renewed sense of religiosity in court.

Invoking God’s alliance with him, does not excuse Najib from being answerable to the temporal courts should he be found involved in the 1MDB heist and sting job. There are countless others who swore on Wallahi, wabillahi , watallahi.

So we move to the more basic but mysterious question as why Malays especially the UMNO people continue to be complicit with a party president who is deep in his arse with the greatest embezzlement job in the history of Malaysia?

Has the Malay got no moral compass?

I think there is one underlining reason that can explain why Malays continue to support Najib and his UMNO despite knowing and being aware that this man has stolen money from 1MDB. Despite knowing that this country’s PM is a common money launderer. We shall come to that in a moment.

For the moment, allow us to hurl some bitterness and diatribe so as to release our tension.

We now know that he is the embezzler–in-chief. It is impossible for us to accept that as chief, he got only USD1 billion when we still cannot account for USD6-8 billion from 1MDB. The rest of the money may be stashed somewhere in secret accounts yet to be discovered.

This is a kleptocratic government. It is a kleptocratic government, by the kleptocratic clique for the kleptocratic clique. It’s the stylised version of Joe Stiglitz’s government of the 1%, by the 1% for the 1%. The corruption epidemic has infected the sinews and bowels of government. The cancer of corruption is ravaging the government. 

In the last few days, the MACC has redeemed some of its credibility and fearlessness by hauling in an ex general and a senior officer from Bandaraya.  

We should not be too worried about the admission from Najib’s chief macai that he is proud to be Najib’s bootlicker. This intellectual gnome has nothing else to say but utter some apologetic puke-like rationalisation. We enjoyed our laughs at his pained invocation that Najib is committed to religion, race and country supplication. Every thief will say the same thing. All rogues and scoundrels will hide behind the religion, race and country claptrap.

When we take over this government, we shall freeze all the accounts belonging to the KSUs, TKSUs, and heads of departments, judges and the accounts of those who have leeched on the body government. We will check the accounts of the gatekeepers including that of the cerebral gnome offering his tail in between the legs rationalisation.

Or will UMNO spring to their defence?

Let us get back to the basic reason why Malays continue to support UMNO despite knowing it is corrupt. The reason appears to be known to many thinkers. The reason being, Malays cannot afford to distinguish between wrong and right for as long they do not have economic independence. As long as they are economically dependent on the government, they continue to be pliant and submissive. Hence economic emancipation is the key to Malay liberation- not heightened religious consciousness nor unmitigated nationalism.

As long as Malays depend on BR1M, on command centre economic planning, waiting for government initiatives, rely on government assistance and other forms of goodwill often masking exploitative business agendas, the Malays will continue to be enslaved.

Kemiskinan itu hampir2 membawa kepada kekufuran

Tidak ada apa yang hendak dibanggakan bila Najib kata dia tidak takutkan sesiapa, melainkan Allah. Semua orang lain boleh berkata demikian. Bezanya, Najib bercakap dalam kapasiti PM- maka pengucapan tersebut ada kekuatan nya.Ia didengari semua orang.

Kalau perkara yang serupa dinyatakan oleh seorang biasa di Kampong Ulu Dong, atau di Kuala Atok, tidak ada orang peduli pun.

Dia takut atau tidak- tidak releven kepada kita sebab semua orang Islam tidak takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah. Quran pun ada kata, hanyasanya yang memakmurkan masjid Allah adalah mereka yang percaya kepada Allah, hari kiamat, mengerja solat, membayar zakat dan tidak takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah. 

Najib agaknya tidak tahu mengenai perkara ini. Dia ingat dia seorang sahaja yang takut kepada Allah. Dr Mahathir pun tidak takut kepada sesiapa melainkan Allah. Sebab itu, walaupun berusia 92 tahun, Dr Mahathir tetap berjihad dan berharap Allah menyebelahi nya. 

Kita tidak pun tanya dia takut atau tidak- kalau tidak takut, mengapa berdolak dalih mengenai 1MDB? Mengapa memberhentikan Ghani Patail? Melindungi Shahrol Azral? Menyingkir Muhyidin, mengugut pegawai SPRM, Polis, meletakkan satu Malaysia dalam Bahaya? Kalau dia tidak takut, dia tidak melakukan angkara durjana bersangkutan dengan 1MDB.

Jadi jangan cakap besar mengenai hubungan nya dengan Allah. Allah bukan ahli UMNO. Atau adakah Najib mendapat laluan dari Allah membenarkan dia mencuri duit 1MDB? Atau Allah juga ahli UMNO yang menjawab kepada presiden parti?

Jadi dalam hal ini, jangan mengheret nama Allah jika sudah terpalit dalam kes 1MDB. Perogol yang berbangsa Islam bila didalam mahkamah memakai kopiah berpasal. Perbandingan nya, bila Najib cakap besar dia tidak takutkan sesiapa melainkan Allah sama seperti si perogol yang pakai kopiah, bersongkok dan berjanggut berpasal bila dihadapkan di mahkamah. Kedua dua akan menunjukkan kewarakan mereka.

Menyebut nama Tuhan tidak bererti Najib  lepas dari tanggunjawab berdepan dengan soal jawab dimahkamah secular jika didapati terlibat. Menyebut nama Allah tidak bererti Najib tidak bersalah. Ramai pun yang berani bersumpah Wallahi, wabillahi , watallahi. 

Tapi kenapakah orang Melayu, khususnya ahli umno tetap juga menyokong dan bersekongkol dengan presiden yang ada kaitan dengan pencurian dan penyonglapan wang 1MDB?

Tidak ada pedomaan moral kah orang Melayu? 

Kemiskinan itu hampir2 membawa kepada kekufuran. 

Saya rasa ada satu sebab asas mengapa kebanyakan orang Melayu tetap sokong Najib walaupun sudah tahu dia kaki sakau wang rakyat. Kita tahu sekarang dia lah embezzler-in-chief yang mengetuai kerajaan kleptoraktik. Kerajaan kleptokrasi ialah kerajaan pencuri, oleh pencuri dan untuk pencuri. Dan sekarang kita tahu wabak mencuri ini telah menular kedalam struktur jabatan kerajaan dan GLC.Dari yang bertugas di Bandaraya sampailah kepada bank GLC. Dan tidak syak lagi, orang2 ini, si Jenderal dan Tuan Syed, semua tidak takutkan sesiapa, melainkan Allah. Cuba tanya mereka ini, pasti mereka akan jawab, kami berserah pada Allah. Kami hanya takut kepada Nya.

Kita tidak perlu ambil pusing sangat pengakuan chief macai Najib yang bangga menjadi budak suruhan Najib- apa lain yang dia boleh kata? Dan kita hanya ketawa sahajalah bila dia mengatakan Najib komited kepada bangsa, agama dan negara. Semua pencuri pun, bila kena dedah akan berkata demikian. Semua penyangak bersembunyi disebalik semboyan agama, bangsa dan negara apabila kena tangkap. Apalah lah yang sangat hendak dihairankan.

Bila kita ambil alih kerajaan kita akan periksa akaun bank KSU, TKSU, ketua2 jabatan kerajaan, hakim2 dan semua yang sekian lama kita syak mendedalu diatas batang tubuh kerajaan. Kita periksa akaun penjaga2 pintu dilorong lorong kuasa.  Atau orang Melayu UMNO akan mempertahankan mereka juga?

Kembali kepada sebab mengapa rakyat biasa Melayu terus nampaknya menyokong kerajaan UMNO yang korap dan rasuah. Sebab ini sudah diketahui lama oleh pemikir2- yakni tidak akan terjadi kebebasan membezakan buruk dan baik, jahat dan murni tanpa kemerdekaan ekonomik. Orang yang tidak ada kemerdekaan ekonomik, akan tersekat dari membezakan antara baik dan buruk, benar dan salah.

Selagi orang Melayu bergantung kepada BR1M, kepada perancangan pusat, menanti inisiatif dari atas, selagi bergantung kepada bantuan2 kerajaan, maka selama itulah, orang Melayu tetap menjadi hamba abdi.

Kerana tahu akan hal ini, maka kerajaan yang korap dan rasuah tidak akan mengagihkan sumber pengkayaan secara adil kepada rakyat nya. Lebih untung mengekalkan Melayu mundur dan miskin.

Selagi orang Melayu menganggap bahawa setiap biji nasi yang dia makan adalah hasil perjuangan UMNO, maka selagi itulah melayu jenis demikian tidak mengenal kemerdekaan yang sejati.

Kemerdekaan sejati ujud bila kita ada kebebasan pilihan. Freedom of  choice.

Orang Melayu terutama yang tinggal di luar bandar menerima sebagai resam dan adat, bahawa kerajaan akan terus memberi BR1M , bantuan kebajikan, memajukan bandar, memberi kemudahan awam dan sebagai nya. Selagi orang luar bandar dapat rumah, cukup makan, rasa selamat, boleh pergi surau dan  masjid, anak2 pergi sekolah dan kemudian dapat baisiswa dan masuk kolej dan university tidak kira ambil jurusan apa- mereka sudah puas hati. Jadi mereka tidak melihat alasan untuk menukar kerajaan.

Biarlah  Najib dan pak menteri balun duit kita, asal kita dapat makan, ada rumah, ada selamat, boleh pergi masjid dan surau- itu sudah cukup untuk kita. Kerajaan bertukar pun, kita macam ini juga.

Mereka tidak tahu, bahawa syorga loka seperti ini akan hilang dengan tindak tanduk kerajaan yang dipimpin oleh seorang perasuah dan pencuri. Apabila kerajaan menyediakan kemudahan awam, memajukan bandar, mengadakan pembangunan, semua itu dirasai oleh umum. Itu pun dia tanggung jawab kerajaan.

Tetapi siapakah yang menguasai dan menghimpun sumber pengkayaan dalam tangan segelintir yang terpilih, yang terdiri dari Melayu UMNO, Cina dan India dan bangsa lain? Adakah sumber pengkayaan ini diagihkan secara adil? 
Mereka yang tidak takutkan sesiapa melainkan Allah. Penyamun pun berkata demikian. 

Lies and Truths

The current mission of UMNO leaders and their mercenary bloggers is to confuse the people. Confusion when achieved, will result in despair which causes those assaulted mentally, to adopt the status quo. Retaining the status quo becomes the best bet for confused people. Why change? Why reinvent the wheel they say?

The propagandists use the most mind-gripping weapon they have- they say the opposition when they come to power will do much worse.

As we have said before, this is a case of projective or prospective blackmailing- projecting the same evils caused by the present government as that which we be caused more severely by the opposition when they come to power. Therefore, might as well remain with the current government. Better side with the devil we know, then the angel we don’t know.

The sooner we realised that freedom of choice, which is the essence of democracy is not opened to the mentally enslaved, like most of our people are, we must continue to work hard and intensely, challenging the storylines created by the UMNO brownshirts.

So that is why the UMNO people and their hired guns continue to pummel and bludgeon the people with repeated lies so as to achieve the Goebbels effect.  Which is, lies when repeated become accepted as truths.

Our duty then, is to untangle this confusing web of lies and deceit. In doing that, we are guided by the only weapon we have- articulation of the hard truth.

Why do we do that? Just as in the market system, the consumer must be offered competing products- truth and lies. Let the people choose between the two. That is the reason why we adopt the motto, stop the lies or we will not stop telling the truth.

The people representing the liars will cheat, twist facts, invent storylines, or carry out a self-righteous exposé of the sins of others. The object of the last strategy, is to divert people’s attention from the real crime of the century- which is Najib stealing money from us through 1MDB. That is what matters most to us right now.

We have a dishonest leader who intended to steal money because he was greedy and thought he was beyond the reach of the people and law. He thought he was unassailable. Right now he is- because he is protected by the AG and the IGP. And the vehemence and robust though mindless defence by his Rottweilers.

But we have the most potent weapon- the truth. The truth is ,once again-we have a dishonest leader, who cheated repeatedly, who embezzled money, lied about getting it, abuses his powers to dismiss the AG, Bank Governor and have those civil servants who were threats to him, removed.  He uses laws to intimidate and bully people into submission. Or some of them.

But all these measure refuse to remove the truth- we have a dishonest and rotten PM.

Let us just call it just that- !MDB was a model of embezzling money from the people using a seemingly legitimate façade. 1MDB was called a strategic investment company. The only thing strategic about 1MDB, in the sense of giving advantage to its creators, is to allow them to steal money.

Let us not forget, that these people thought they could plug the holes of 1MDB by doing an IPO on its energy business. Had the IPO plan been successful, the money earned through over subscription of the outstanding stock, will be used to cover all the stealing that to took place inside 1MDB.

Then we would have never known about the money stolen by Tarek Obaid and Jho Low. Why are these people still free? Is the IGP too dumb-witted to recognise that money has been stolen by Jho Low aided and abetted by people like shahrol halmi, Casey Tang and others who insisted and lied that GoodsTar Ltd is a subsidiary of Petrosaudi. 
We could never have known about the two Arabs- Qubaisi dan husseini who  diverted USD1.4 billion. They are aided and abetted by the same people. We would have never known about USD681 million diverted into Najib's account. We will never know yet, where the money was returned to. Where did the USD620 million go to? 
Perhaps God’s gift to the Malays will produce documentary proof as to how he returned this amount. Bank Negara seemed to have no records about this remittance. No records, unless it was sleeping and the Bank Negara officials were actually incompetent.
