As according to Dr Mahathir's plan

So, Anwar and gang have finally shown us their last card yesterday.

Their talks of support for Dr Mahathir all these while were now known to be false.

Anwar ultimately wants the PM seat and that's all that he cares about.

DAP wants Anwar in that seat because they can control him.

Their supporters were already celebrating.

Their MPs even went to see the Agong on an open top bus as if they have won.

The theory is that they have the highest number of MPs at 92 while Dr Mahathir and the others are divided into smaller groups.

They believe they can get the 20 extra MPs needed to get to 112 with some suggesting of buying them over.

All these after BN and its allies pull out their support from Dr Mahathir because they don't want to be in the proposed unity government with DAP.

Well, my personal thought is this - all that have happened till now were as according to Dr Mahathir's plan.

Yup, I believe that Dr Mahathir planned this whole thing from A to Z.

When his party and Azmin gang pulled out of Pakatan, he told everyone that he was not involved and that's why he had to resign as PM.

So, everyone has to say that he didn't betray Pakatan, causing its collapse.

Then, within hours he got the Agong to put him back as interim PM.

He is now back holding power without those useless Pakatan ministers weighing him down.

Then he made known that he wanted to have a unity government and that gives the reason for BN and its gang to appear as rejecting him.

That move prompted Anwar and his gang to believe that Dr Mahathir now doesn't have enough support anymore.

They seized on it yesterday by telling the Agong and the world that they actually want Anwar in power and all their previous "we love you Tun"and "please come back Tun" messages were just bullshit.

They have also never wanted the proposed unity government and just want power for themselves.

Now, that basically means Dr Mahathir had never betrayed his words to his former Pakatan allies, including Anwar. It's them who betrayed him.

Dr Mahathir is now clean as a whistle and will enter the history book as the good guy.

The way I see it, he now has only two options - cut a deal with BN and its allies or dissolves parliament for fresh election. His road back to Pakatan was by design sealed off yesterday.

Either way, he still wins.

If BN and its allies join him, he will have more than enough number and people can't blame him for it as he was betrayed first by Anwar and the gang.

If not, and he dissolves Parliament for fresh election, he knows that BN and its allies will win.

He knows the Malays just can't wait to get their hands on DAP who is the real puppet master behind Anwar and the other Malays in their camp.

Also, they remember the thousands of Malays who lost their jobs over the past 21 months, Adib's case, the manipulation of the AG, the tearing down of Tabung Haji and other Malay Muslim institutions etc etc. And of course the DAP's arrogant face,

I even have a feeling that Dr Mahathir may independently campaign on the side of BN and its allies.

"Saya masih tak mau mereka yang korupt seperti Najib berkuasa, tapi saya sokong perjuangan untuk orang Melayu dan Islam," he may says.

After all that, he will then retires, still the hero of his people.

Well, let's see how it is going to be.

I have a feeling that we may know by tomorrow....well actually someone told me that last night :)

Till then, cheers.

Even better to let the rakyat decide

Things are actually getting even better as far as I'm concerned.

I fully support the decision by BN, Pas and their allies to reject the formation of a unity government with people of the currently defunct Pakatan Harapan, especially from the Anwar camp and DAP.

I also support their call  for a fresh election.

I'm not sure why Dr Mahathir proposed to have that unity government, but I suspect it's because of pressure from the people around him.

It's just too bad for him, actually. He almost managed to win back the support of many who turned against him for working with the likes of Anwar and DAP but as it is now, he may be consigned forever in history as the one who betrayed his people.

Well, never mind that, as tomorrow may brings new development.

After all, I actually think it's a good thing.

BN, Pas and their allies are not losing anything and in fact they may likely gain something invaluable from the whole episode which is an eye opener for the rakyat as to who these people on the other side really are.

Now the people will see the Pakatan gang as just a bunch who only care about their politics and gaining power instead of taking care of the country which is now suffering economically due to the uncertainty and their mismanagement for almost two years

Let's say, the new coalition government is really not happening. Pakatan gang are going to kiss up and make up to set up their government again, is it?

All the drama for just that?

Is that what the people want?

In and out of office as they please?

What? The same bunch are going to take another round of oath as ministers?

It's a joke, is it?

I wonder what the Yang di-Pertuan Agong thinks of that.

Does his royal highness willing to be part of such farce.

Now that will really put everything out in the open.

Whatever it is, BN, Pas and their allies can always go back to being the good opposition and bid their time.

They already won the moral high ground over all these and the people can see now that they had initially agreed to support Dr Mahathir not because some of their leaders were being prosecuted or they were crazy for power.

Otherwise they would have take up the unity government offer.

They are now the ones calling for a general election so that the nonsense could be resolved once and for all.

That's better because if BN, Pas and their allies win, they will owe nothing to anyone except the rakyat for trusting them over the other bunch who were proven to be liars and hypocrites since May 9 2018.

But it's still okay, if there's no election. They can just let the other side go on playing their stupid political game.

I'm quite sure the country will further suffer from the Pakatan's nonsense but that's the price we have to pay for putting them in power that day.

Still, it's not so bad, okay, as we can just be patient and wait for the time when the people punish them.

It may not even take too long for that to happen.

True end of Pakatan Harapan

I was actually not sure whether to laugh or....laugh very loudly, as I look at the reactions of the Pakatan people who still believe that they have not yet lost and Dr Mahathir was still on their side.

Those images of Guan Eng, Mat Sabu and others begging and crying for Dr Mahathir to save them were hilarious.

Were they in denial or just plain stupid?

Did they really believe that Dr Mahathir has noting to do with the collapse of the Pakatan's government?

What's wrong with these people lah?

The handsome old man must be sniggering when he watched all those statements by Pakatan leaders calling for him to be reinstated as PM.

That''s despite just on Friday, during the Pakatan presidential council meeting, they were pressuring him to step down.

Well, Dr Mahathir didn't need them for all that.

He got the Agong to make him PM again just hours after resigning yesterday afternoon.

Never mind the interim part as that's just a technical thing.

The important thing is that DR MAHATHIR IS STILL IN CHARGE.

Now he can do whatever he chooses as he's no longer tied to his promises to Pakatan.

No more Anwar, Guan Eng, Kit Siang etc to bother him.

Just wait for who will be appointed to his interim premiership team. Surely Dr Mahathir can't run the country alone, even for the next few days.

And of course a new coalition government will be officially set up  at the start of the next parliament sitting next month.

The way I counted it, DAP and Anwar only have 92 MPs left which is definitely not enough.

Really, it's game over.

Oh, and this was the final blow yesterday,

Agong revokes appointments of entire Cabinet

Okay, if they still want to remain deluded, that's up to them.

I need to get up now and get ready for work.

Ciao.

A new dawn for Malaysia

I just woke up and the sun is about to rise for the day as I'm writing this.

As most of you all know, this is a new dawn for Malaysia...after almost two years.

This is the last story I read last night before falling asleep,

Consensus dinner ends with 131 MPs all smiles

It's in The Star and written by Zakiah Koya, the little sister of MACC chief/ex-PKR politician Lateefa Koya.

I know Zakiah and her anti-establishment sentiment from many years ago.

I wondered how she felt as she wrote that story.

That's about it, Dr Mahathir with the help of Umno and Pas as well as support from others have check-mated Anwar, DAP and their cronies.

It's game over.

Why this happened?

I dare say I had answered that when I wrote this,

• Anwar, DAP will show Umno no mercy

excerpts;

Well, can't really blame Dr Mahathir because I strongly believe that if Anwar is the one who have the number, he would have already tabled a no-confidence motion against the PM so that he can take over the whole show.

And once he's in power, Anwar will go after Dr Mahathir and his family, Umno and others whom he deemed to have wronged him in the past.

I have no doubt that will happen.

So, that's it, Dr Mahathir outgunned Anwar.

Plain and simple.

I actually wrote about Dr Mahathir's shooting prowess back then at the start of his fight with Najib,

Quick gun Mahathir

Heck, I never for one second believe that Dr Mahathir would ever let Anwar take over power in Putrajaya.

You can read that in my other previous posts.

Remember this from the late 1990s?

Yup, no way he's going to let Anwar be PM after that.

Well, it's done.

There will be follow-ups and fall-outs from all these, but those are for the coming days.

I will write more on the latest later.

For this moment, I need to get up and do the necessary and go on my routine morning brisk walk.

Need to stay fit for things are getting interesting to watch again now.

You all stay cool, okay.

Cheers.

Parasite - a Malaysian political movie review

I believe most of you all should know by now about Parasite, that Korean movie which won multiple major titles at the recent Academy Awards.

I watched it last night.

It's a good movie.

It was touted as a social critique movie but the way I see it, the story is a black comedy with very depressing ending.

Very much like the story of our Pakatan Harapan government, actually.

Really.

It started with a contrasting look at the rich and poor families and their struggles.Very idealistic and all.

Then it became more of a comedy as the poor tried to get better by whatever means necessary, including lies to get what they wanted. Much like what Pakatan did, right?

And then there was that brief sense of elation when they got what they wanted before things turned horribly wrong as it always does when we try to get what we want the wrong way.

Yup, exactly the same as our Pakatan story.

Lied all the way to victory and now the people realised the con.

Things are bad now after the jubilation of winning GE14 almost two years ago.

They are fighting among themselves and the government is in horrid shape.

Just yesterday, they let off a bunch of terrorist sympathizers because the LTTE fanboys are from their gang.

There are no doubt now about the selective prosecution being practiced by the AG's Chamber.

Before this, all their gang had their charges dropped too, including that Guan Eng's corruption case.

And as for you all the normal people out there, just look at this story today,

Lowest EPF dividend since 2008 — 5.45% for conventional, 5% for syariah

Guys, that's your simpanan hari tua anda under the Pakatan rule.

Well, I can go on and on about Pakatan as there were tonnes I could bitch about, but why should I bore you all with it.

As if you all don't know how fucked up it is already.

Back to the movie, my favourite is Park So-dam, who plays Kim Ki-jung or Jessica, the daughter of the poor family.

She's brilliant, especially in the scene where she went for the interview to be the art tutor for the son of the rich family. I love her in that scene.

The other casts were quite good too.

The story is a bit too fantastical to be truly believable but then again in this age of people getting hooked on superhero movies, I guess I have to accept the Parasite's plot as it is.

 Well, as I said above, Parasite is a good movie and I enjoyed watching it.

However, I don't think I want to watch it for a second time.

It's because the ending is so disturbing that it made me quite depressed.

Why should I want to get myself depressed for the second time over the same thing, right?

Again, it's very much the same as our Pakatan Harapan story - it started with ideals, then turned into a comedy and now it's just plain depressing.

Once is good enough, I think.

Darts

A friend said I'm lazy these days as I don't write as regularly as I used to be.

Maybe he's right but I would like to believe that it's more because I'm bored of almost everything these days.

Not inspired, not motivated and not so easily impressed anymore.

Take politics for instance. What's so inspiring, motivating or impressive about it now?

It's so obvious and predictable, isn't it?

Pakatan government....you all inspired, motivated or impressed by it?

Come on la, it's so screwed up, okay. There's no denying that. Just read the news everyday and anyone would know that it's true.

By right, at the rate it's going, Umno and the gang doesn't have to do much to win the next general election.

Of course, that's provided Anwar doesn't come to power and let DAP gets around to ban all of its enemies.

Yup, I'm quite sure DAP will do that once they have full power under Anwar's premiership. Very much like the communists who eliminate all their rivals once they come to power.

But then again, I'm also confident that Dr Mahathir will not hand over power to Anwar as he knows that would be a disaster for the country.

And he knows the people, especially Malays will curse him if that happens.

So, that's how it is with Malaysian politics.

Tiresome, isn't it?

The way I see it, we just have to bear with it till the next general election or a new coalition takes over the government. The sooner the better.

What else to write about it? Nothing much, actually.

It's boring.

Nowadays, I actually prefer to amuse myself with these rather than politics,

Yup, those are my darts. Soft tip. The flowery background is my bed sheet. I took the picture on my bed.

I enjoy playing darts with my friends these days. Much more enjoyable than just sitting around drinking tea with them and arguing about stupid politics.

Everyone needs some sort of escapism and that's mine.

Been playing for the past few months but still not very good at it. Hopefully, with more practice I can play better soon.

I'm not aiming to win tournaments and such but instead just trying to be able to beat my friends more than losing to them. Well, I'm not too ambitious :)

As for my writings, maybe if things become interesting again, I may write more regularly as I used to be.

See lah how.

Okay, I'm getting sleepy.

Hopefully I can immediately knock off right after this.

Cheers and good night.

Anwar, DAP will show Umno no mercy

Of late, I've been enjoying the power-transition drama for quite a bit.

It's so amusing to watch some people squirming over the possibility of a cooperation between Dr Mahathir and Umno.

There was Anwar making all sort of statements to convince people that everything is alright in Pakatan and he is indeed going to be the PM.

Then, there was Guan Eng getting all upset with anyone who mentioned the mere possibility of a Pakatan's collapse.

So many others are like that too.

That Pas-initiated vote of confidence motion for Dr Mahathir plan will really turn the table upside down for them.

On the Umno side, those who don't want to see a Mahathir-Umno tie-up were also being comical.

Okay, some were genuinely concerned about the possibility of Umno being conned by Dr Mahathir, but many (especially the very vocal ones) were upset purely because such a cooperation means they and their personal interests will be pushed aside within a rejuvenated Umno.

Yup, people like that Lokman Noor Adam guy will be irrelevant if there's no more Mahathir versus Umno fight.

Honestly, I see the whole thing as being quite funny.

I think Dr Mahathir also think it's funny. He had been teasing everyone when asked to comment on all the drama.

Now Anwar even said he's willing to wait till after the Apec meeting towards the end of the year to take over power, which is actually him buying time to avoid the Pas' confidence motion for Dr Mahathir scheduled for the start of parliament sitting next month.

For me, the game is simple - any side which actually try to table a motion of confidence or no-confidence would have the number.

In the Pas' case, if they really push the motion in parliament, that means its side has the number, which also means Dr Mahathir has the number in parliament to stay on as PM till at least end of his term.

My reading of the present scenario is that due to Pas' boldness, I believe Dr Mahathir really have the support of the majority of MPs from both sides.

He actually can set-up a new coalition government if push comes to shove. And of course, if that happens, Anwar along with his supporters, in particular DAP will be out of the government. That's why they were so upset about the whole thing.

Well, can't really blame Dr Mahathir because I strongly believe that if Anwar is the one who have the number, he would have already tabled a no-confidence motion against the PM so that he can take over the whole show.

And once he's in power, Anwar will go after Dr Mahathir and his family, Umno and others whom he deemed to have wronged him in the past.

I have no doubt that will happen.

Those Umno people who think that they can survive the next three years before GE15 without cooperating with Dr Mahathir should think again. If Dr Mahathir falls, they will fall along with him.

I highly doubt Umno can survive that three years if Anwar is in power. It will almost certain to be banned for all sort of things. Anwar's supporters, in particular DAP will see to it.

Really guys, DAP will show you all no mercy, once they have the full power courtesy of Anwar's rule.
