I know you, my dear readers, well, most of you anyway, don't like RPK, wakakaka. But that's your problem not mine, wakakaka, as he and I remain mateys since 19-kong-kong (19-zero-zero).

very few remember RPK's service to Pakatan |
Today I popped over to his blog Malaysia-Today to read his interesting article, to wit, his take on karma, kismet, fate, mialee, nasib, etc, which he wrote in his "THE CORRIDORS OF POWER" (extracts only):
Economic Affairs Minister Azmin Ali said people should not resort to cruel and filthy acts of political sabotage, reported The Star today.
Earlier, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said, “Things like these are dirty. If you cannot compete with someone don’t do something like this.”
It is ironical that Mahathir and Azmin moan and groan about “cruel and filthy acts of political sabotage” and how dirty such political games are and that “if you cannot compete with someone don’t do something like this.”
Actually, this has been Malaysia’s political culture, especially for Umno, since 1969. The only thing is in those days they used “surat layang” and books. Today, they use WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, the Internet and videos. Modern technology but same old SOP.

our beloved al-marhum Tunku Abdul Rahman in his demise he still bested Mahathir in that the Mamak will NEVER be ever loved by Malaysians as him |
50 years ago Tunku was ousted also using the same “dirty, cruel and filthy acts of political sabotage”
Tunku Abdul Rahman was brought down using this method (plus many lives were lost in the race riots that this SOP triggered).
Tunku Abdul Rahman was brought down using this method (plus many lives were lost in the race riots that this SOP triggered).
So was Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (if not Ku Li would have been Malaysia’s Fifth Prime Minister back in 1987 and Mahathir would have ruled for just six years instead of 22).
Then, of course, we have Anwar Ibrahim, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Najib Tun Razak. All three were brought down using “cruel and filthy acts of political sabotage” (to quote Azmin) and “dirty” politics (to quote Mahathir).
Azmin should be the last one to complain. Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim was ousted using “dirty, cruel and filthy acts of political sabotage.” Rafizi Ramli and Saifuddin Nasution travelled the country to “expose” Khalid’s “secrets”.
Eventually, they were forced to apologise to Khalid to settle their case out of court but the apology was of no use because by then Khalid had already been ousted and Azmin had taken over as the new Selangor Menteri Besar.

mind you, I have to admit I didn't like Khalid because he cowardly abandoned Eli Wong in her most urgent moment |
Mahathir is a man who lacks compassion nor has any interest in human rights UNLESS that benefits him or members of his immediate family. We saw that when he callously authorised the extradition of poor UN refugee Praphan Pipithnamporn, who would now be subjected to the horrors of Thailand's lèse-majesté law and punishments.

Praphan Pipithnamporn I hadn't the opportunity to have tea with PM Mahathir |
I believe Mahathir doesn't even care a sh*t about Zakir Naik, but only the political benefits the preacher can endow him and his Pribumi Party with the Heartland if he protects that cleric, an alleged criminal in India.
Could Praphan Pipithnamporn have given Mahathir any brownie points with Malay voters? That's why I said Mahathir is a man who lacks compassion nor has any interest in human rights UNLESS that benefits him or members of his immediate family.
But you know something?
It's not so much the sabotage galore between Pribumi and PKR (yes, expect Atuk to strike back furiously soon) or whether Azmin deserves his kismet ...
... or that the whole dirty issue has been due to/caused by Mahathir's single-minded power-crazed avarice and obduracy in refusing to ascertain when he would ACTUALLY hand over the Prime Ministerial position to Anwar Ibrahim (leading many to suspect he won't and matey, they are right on that), the Old Man's persistent insistence to hang on to power for dear life, ...
... but the current and future political fate of leng chai Azmin Ali to the DAP.
Yes, the DAP.
Though the Rocket Party knows that Malaysians or more specifically Malay voters won't accept a DAP candidate as PM (even a Malay like Dr Abdul Aziz Bari or Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji), the DAP party prefers to work with a Malay (PM) candidate from Pribumi (even Atuk), PKR, Amanah who will NOT be as devious as Azmin Ali (or his henchman Tian Chua, etc, wakakaka).
For years of so-called cooperation with PKR within the umbrella of Pakatan this-&-that, especially in Sarawak and to a lesser extent, Sabah, the DAP has found their candidates, policies and plans (already agreed with PKR) being regularly back stabbed - I've posted enough of such treachery emanating from PKR so I would post just one here, as follows:
In almost or we can even say ALL cases, the treacherous hands of the Dolkaffar faction of PKR were discerned.
If Azmin Ali's power in PKR were to be diminished or even eliminated, the DAP will heave a great sigh of relief. It's hard to work with a so-called ally who's always trying to stab you at any given opportunity.
