It's the usual cleaning and decorating of the house as well as cooking of these and those.
I have not been reading much because of all that, but did note the bit about MCA president DS Liow Tiong Lai saying that BN will break up if Umno supports Pas in the Syaria Amendment Bill issue, also known as RUU355.
I can understand Liow's and MCA's sentiment on the matter.
They may as well close shop if they can't say no to RUU355.
The Chinese will simply laugh at them.
It just confirmed what DAP said all along about MCA being just an Umno's lackey with no backbone of their own.
The same goes with the other non-Malay, non-bumiputera, non-Muslim component parties of the ruling coalition.
Well, actually DAP was not totally wrong, because there are those in Umno who actually advocate the idea that it's Umno's way or no way in BN.
These Umno people feel that they are the kings on the top of the hill and therefore others in the coalition must agree with everything that they want.
Even if they, via Umno, want the actual hudud, they expect MCA, Gerakan and the others to go along with it.
If you disagree with that, like what Liow did on this RUU355 issue, you would kena whacked.
That's why RPK asked this question the other day,
Is Liow DAP’s Trojan Horse?
excerpts,
So, MCA threatens that if RUU355 is passed this may break up Barisan Nasional. Good! Then let Barisan Nasional be an Umno-Malay-led coalition while Pakatan Harapan can become a DAP-MCA-Chinese led coalition. Then at least the political divide would be much clearer and there will no longer be any confusion as to whether MCA is with the government or MCA is a DAP Trojan Horse.
Well, I actually think that if that's the real thinking in Umno, then BN will indeed cease to exist.
What the opposition parties (including Pas) have been working on for decades will finally be achieved - the destruction of BN which moderate multi-racial approach enabled it to rule the country since Merdeka.
And the most silly thing about it was that, there are those Umno people who think that it's then going to be a Malays versus Chinese fight in the next general election where the Malays will prevail because of their larger number.
It's silly because that will not happen.
What will happen is that the opposition will seize the opportunity to turn itself into a multi-racial coalition like BN used to be. They have Malay Muslims dominating PKR, Amanah and Pribumi Bersatu.
Umno, after getting rid of MCA and the other supposedly "trojan horses", will be with Pas (which since its inception aims to destroy Umno) and the bumiputera parties in Sabah and Sarawak.
Bear in mind that the Pas grassroots have always been opposed to the idea of teaming up with Umno. I even believe that they hate Umno more than they hate DAP.
And those Sabah and Sarawak bumiputera parties were never comfortable with using race and religion as political tools, as such tactics don't even work over there.
They may even pull out of BN too if Umno insists on going along with Pas on the RUU355 issue.
I was told that even Sabah Umno feels the same discomfort over the matter.
Contrary to what those RUU355 supporters in Umno think, many Malay Muslims, including those in Umno itself are not with them.
The majority of Malay Muslims are not racial or religious bigots and want to continue living in a peaceful and moderate multi-racial Malaysia.
Umno may ends up going into the next general election holding just its own balls if it proceeds with supporting the Pas' RUU355 agenda.
However, I do believe that PM and Umno president DS Najib Razak and his better lieutenants can see this danger.
They will not let BN to self-destruct over the matter.
I was told that Najib had several times shot down the idea to allow Umno leaders and members to officially attend a Pas-planned RUU355 gathering next month. Maybe it's true. Najib can't be that stupid to let BN be destroyed like that.
If you all bother to read this Najib's CNY message today, he doesn't seems to want to throw the Chinese into the sea like what some Umno supporters of RUU355 threatened,
excerpts :
We believe the Chinese want a better and prosperous Malaysia for all our children. We can achieve this if we are strong and united as a nation, focus our efforts and energy for the well-being of the nation while we continue to sort out our differences and challenges. Together, we can surely achieve greater heights for a Malaysia that is more successful, advanced and harmonious.
Furthermore, I think you all should try read this previous posting of mine which more or less explains why Umno will not abandon its Chinese allies and set up a new exclusive Malay Muslims gang :
Well, in conjunction with the CNY celebrations, I would like to also recommend Umno leaders and members to read this article (please just click on the link, okay) :
Okay, that's about it.
I want to go hang out with my cousins now. They just arrived from Singapore.
To all Chinese and those who celebrate the occasion,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I like this CNY video by TNB.
It's fun and reminds me of my mom and her sisters. My mom is the one who can't cook....hehehehe
Cheers everyone :)
Cayalah Najib..Pembohong. Cakap tak serupa bikin. Tanah my tambak Johor macam mana? Leasehold ke freehold? 24/7 tipu and my Chinese friends will definitely celebrate New Year but don't believe Najib's words one bit!

Actually Annie the majority of Malays are not stupid. They can see what kind of gimmick this whole thing is, just to save the pink-lips & the hippo by trying to woo PAS.
If the pink-lips & the hippo were "Islamic" it might have been better not to songlap $800 million of SRC money (which is from KWAP pensions) and not to steal 1MDB money to lat noinoi make his dirty film in the USA.
Desperate gimmick, korang semus suci ke?
Laughable.

ReplyDeleteWhat if Najis turns up?
Main stage with Hadi?
Hadi should not contaminate himself with this dirt.
Hadi just as najis. His hudud formulation is as raw as the 1980s version without any decent scholarly effort to ameliorate the laws to the local and global social and political realities. Hadi's political initiative is quite an indecent piece of legislature that does NOT represent the morality of Islamic jurisprudential principles

Annie,
ReplyDelete//They may as well close shop if they can't say no to RUU355//
You can be certain that MCA will support RUU355 because they have left plenty of wiggle-room in the statements they have been putting out.
e.g. "We will wait and see", "It depends on the amendements made", etc etc.
Will they close shop?
Nupe, you will be surprise how effective an almost never-ending river of money can be :)
//That's why RPK asked this question the other day... "Is Liow DAP’s Trojan Horse?"//
Come on, Annie, just the title of the article alone should tell you that RPK is talking nonsense.
If you have read RPK for the few years, you will know that, some time ago, RPK had already warned his readers that he is going to write in a completely different style.
RPK is writing for PAS and he must do what he can to kick out all unfriendly non-Muslims out of Barisan Nasional so that PAS stands a chance of creating an Islamic caliphate in Sth East Asia.
So, MCA, Gerakan, MIC and any other component party must either support an Islamic State or leave BN.
Once that happens, PAS can influence the direction of the remaining component parties in BN using Islam as the driving factor.
RPK knows that PAS on its own can never ever create that Islamic State in Malaysia and hence PAS's need to join hands with UMNO.
Simple as that.
I am surprised that there are those who don't see how different his writings have been but then RPK is a master with the pen/keyboard and he knows how to hide his intentions :)
//And those Sabah and Sarawak bumiputera parties were never comfortable with using race and religion as political tools//
Not really.
Sabah is still a relatively solid vote bank for UMNO despite the Warisan factor.
So Sabah may yet support RUU355.
Sarawak has lost Adenan Satem and PAS seems rather happy that Abang Johari is now CM.
You will note that Abang Johari has not really said very much about PAS's overtures.
I have a feeling PAS is working very very hard behind the scenes to get Abang Johari to reverse Adenan Satem's instructions about RUU355.
So there may be enough votes from Sarawak to complete the picture for PAS.
//We believe the Chinese want a better and prosperous Malaysia for all our children//
Yeah, Najib's CNY message is really wonderful.
The CNY message sounds great but what the Chinese want and what the Chinese will get can be two very different things. :)
I mean, it may just happen, and I emphasis, may just happen, that "all our children" will get a "better and prosperous Malaysia", just not the Chinese children or the Indian children, OK? :)
Oops, how did those Indians get into something about CNY?
Oh, never mind, let's not worry about those Indians, OK?
Annie, the truth is that the Chinese and the Indians WANT to do something about making the country a better place but they are simply not allowed to.
As you say, the majority of Malays "are not racial or religious bigots and want to continue living in a peaceful and moderate multi-racial Malaysia" and you are absolutely right.
You know that, and from personal experience, I know that.
Unfortunately, it is a well-funded totally-dedicated minority which sets the agenda for the majority.
And need I mention it, that minority is united by religion and race, in that order.
This minority has abused religion to serve their purpose and they have corrupted race to further their personal ambitions.
Only a small handful of this minority have benefited immensely while the rest only think that that they too are doing oh-so-well.
Anyway, it is CNY and I am not going to get too angry about anything.
Even though I don't believe in bad luck or anything like that, no point getting others upset.
So, to you, Annie + all readers here (yes, even to you, M Zin),
Happy Chinese New Year.
