D Curran – Thanks for the thoughts Dermo. UMNO is playing the racial card for as long as we know it.

Aj – Cool – I’m now against BN, because they are too blinded by money that they’re screwing with the citizens. There’s only so much vote they can buy. Instead of helping Sabah weed out foreigners, the federal government is being lax about it, because the filipinos and the illegals are all converted to islam and given I/C with the condition that they vote for BN. It’s stuff like this continues to give people the poor impression of the religion. Sigh.

AngeLBeaR – Yeah, the Philippines are still trying to claim Sabah. There’s so much beauty and potential of Sabah, and many outsiders already identified that, and are “raping” the state. What happened to the government’s promise last elections to weed out illegals? It looks like a one-off short-term action. Typical.

Even I also cannot go out alone…and I won’t be seen strolling around KK city without a companion for fear of my safety because of these illegals. (and I got a first hand experienced being ‘stalked’ by a PTI in broad day light!)

Not to mention their kids roaming around the streets, running around the shopping complexes…and during our event at Padang merdeka for the KK City Countdown last year, I saw those kids fighting over a plastic bag of gam kasut there.

Soon…Sabah will be the main hub of illegals…no wonder there are certain parties that started to claim this state as theirs.

The more I analyse it, the more I learn on how religion/politics/language and race are used and abused, not only in Malaysia, but throughout the region. In Thailand, they use:

“Race, Religion and King”, and the propaganda machine used by the military, business and state is very powerful. The situation for the Muslim minority up there is not good, particularly in the South.

Malaysia – Bangsa, Agama dan Negara. Notice the exclusion of the King, since they are’nt really too relevant down here, as they are too busy playing golf, running up gambling debts, or upholding Islam with a Koran in their right hand, and a bottle of Hennessy Cognac in their left…..oops, sorry, I should not insult your Sultans like that, its very seditious. Actually….its a bottle of Johnny Walker.

I could go on, but I do offer hope. All false regimes, such as false theocracies with hypocrites abusing religion for power, do eventually fall. The question is, will it be a violent or peaceful revolution.

I can’t see violence, not anymore, the spectre of May 13, raised by my former YB Chew Mei Fun (MCA, PJ Utara), is laughable in the context of modern Malaysia. No wonder she lost…..

In terms of Islam, UMNO and PAS are two sides of the same coin, but PAS for all their faults, seem to be reforming. There are two factions, a liberal (as liberal as PAS can be ahem), pragmatic bunch lead by Tok Guru in Kelantan, who are battling the fundamentalist bunch lead by Hadi Awang. PAS is decentralised, and dissent is allowed within their ranks, and that is in fact their strength as it reflects the different needs of the various regions where they contest. UMNO however, has the somewhat f—–t, “Una Duce, Una Voce” (One leader, one voice) approach, which was imposed at its strongest under Mahathir. Thats their downfall, since there will never be another Mahathir.

Revamping the education system. Unfortunately, the education system is the vampire at present, bleeding potentially open minds into a closed mindset. I don’t single out the Government schools alone in that regard. I do know that they have picked a leaf from the Jesuit mindset, and deprogramming bigotry and a sense of religious and racial supremacy takes time. I know that from my previous, younger outlook on the Northern Ireland issue. For me, the Northern Irish Protestants WERE Pendatang, and for me, I WAS only too happy if they got their May 13th. But that was a long time ago, and I have moved on from that outlook. For all our condemnation of religion, I would prefer some religion, rather than none, since 20th century history shows that more people die under societies with no religion that under societies with it.

D Curran – Dermo, yes, I know even after conversion to Islam, people go about their usual business and reap the benefits. But UMNO is smart, they also know it’s for the long run. Think of the next generation of that person, where they are born Islam. Think about it.

What use is a shopping mall anyway. Its construction delivers instant gratification, and keeps the local economy ticking over, perhaps, at best for 3-4 years at most. Who benefits? Within 20 years it needs to be replaced

Contractors. It sure as heck are not the local people who have lived there all their lives.

Whatever way you look at it, developed countries engage in trickle down economics, where the wealthy are taxed more, and pay more. Malaysia engages in trickle up. The Rakyat subsidise the UMNOcrats living off the fat of the land.

If you built low cost housing, you have the votes of the poor for life. UMNO should know that, and learn from the ultimate masters of that strategy. PAP in Singapore, and Fianna Fail in Ireland.

I have one Filipino-Malaysian friend from Sabah. He converted to Islam to get the IC card and his land. He lives in KL, works as a hairdresser. Guess what

He still goes to church, drinks, smokes, gambles. He fucking hates UMNO as well. More fool UMNO. They are giving out free goodies, and money, and “hope” you will vote and like them. Its like a child molesting uncle to nephews and nieces. Take the goodies, take the cash, but the moment he goes near you, scream “I’ll tell Mummy”

Thats how to treat UMNO guys, until they grow up, reform, learn, and learn how to engage our generation and bring this country forward. A spell on opposition benches should sort them out good and proper.

guong’s last blog post..SDC, now MSC…??!

Alv0808 – Yeah, I hope the citizens of Sabah stand up against this.

cdason – For now, for now.

ko – You’re right, because I heard pilaks talking Sabahan too, and man, it is nasty! They should stop talking!

Pammie –

mell_f – I hope you’re right.

Regina Cassandra – The people who say you live atas pokok are ignorant dim wits. Don’t bother with these retards.

Harmony – Aboriginals? I didn’t know Sabah still has any? Is this documentary generic or focused on Sabah? I surely remember the Penans – about a company’s employees raping them. Wonder where’s the case now?

Mimi – You were called stupid? Let me at them Mimi! They’re probably embezzling money from Govt like many loyal politicians do!

Nick Phillips – Yeah, it’s time Sabahans speak up against such bullshit!

Borneo Falcon – Yeah, be sure to sumpit them when they come with their kompangs.

I agree on your quote there, Dan. I have been saying this to many politician relatives and was called stupid and was told that I don’t know what I was talking about. Guess that they too are like Moses Peace, nothing but a puppet.

It’s sure a victim of the money makers.
