When I spotted this blurb (journalese for a short heading to point you to some important news inside)on The Star frontpage this cool Tuesday morn:
Dr M
blamesloss on
bribery
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Frankly speaking, I sort of feel sympathetic to the 81-year-old former Prime Minister.At this late stage of his service to party, as its President for 22 years, he was REJECTED, even as a delegate to the Party Assembly, by his constituency members.
But it was the Poetic Justice situation that makes Desi realise sometimes,
THINGS COME FULL CIRCLE.
I cannot laugh or cry. But I have to ask: Is this surprising at all?
To UMNO members? to non-UMNO Malaysians? to even Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad himself?
Desi has his answer, will tell thee if you buy me tehtarik plus some stuff/stuffing in an envy-elope?
Turning to page N6, the report details the story with header:
Dr M: They
were bribed
(IF on a PC Word, it would have been 20-point size for effect!)
I won't reprise the report because my ER -- too pamered a lot! most times/dimes by desi! -- would guess (90% chance CORRECT!) what it's all about. Money politics -- RM200 per vote. And a piece of paper being displayed by Dr M with seven names (Yeah, another G7!) as "favoured candidates".
And interestingly, the Chinese phrase "CHAI TAN" did NOT appear in The Star . Desi remembers vividly this "Chai Dan" was very prominent at an MCA party elections years ago, so it's safe to attribute such a customs that the MCA had made Chai Tan "famous".
Translated, it means "menu" like when you attend an eight-course dinner. Food, oh, glorious food. Oliver would defintely ask for aMore! More than RM200.
Except the UMNO division Chai Tan and the MCA Chai Tan are/were NOT edible. But it came along in an envelope with RM... (like a new year ang-pow, except this comes once every three years, so it's much BIGGER than the annual festive wan.
Desi's final serving of dessert at BF: The way Malaysian party politics is headed, next we will hear of Wan Tan!:(

I saw him on the news last night, talking about corruption, with an unusual 3 microphones in front of him, and his wife (I think) standing behind, looking somewhat more concerned for him...a pitiful sight!
It's the beginning ...
the beginning of a long drawn journey to hinterland.
"things come full circle"
amen to that.
when i first read he accused the gomen "they were bribed", i immediatley think of election during his time. weren't there so much speculation that the gomen that time (his time) had bribed many of the voters to vote for BN?
I think he is weeping about the price he pay for the Sabah frogs. Those frogs seems more valuable than his own kind.

You watch our RTM ah?
ZAM must be informed as Top Priority!
Don't be concerned about the 3 microphones -- they were all from RTEmmm, according to TheSien's EIC Howsy who frew in specially to cover the event. He does nOT trust the Koreaspondans based in KL/Sinland!

They can weep,
we will laugh as
The Joke Is On 'Em!
I almost felt sorry for him, but I do feel more sorry for his wife, children & grandchildren. He never really intended to make up for lost time with his loved ones.
anak m:
TIME+ and the river
Will bring my love to me...
Remember that one?
I wonder if Dr M has the TIME?
Don't worry about the Money tho, esp he has a GOIoD fren of a former finance miister named Dime! Oops, long time no see, no hear, it's DAIM!
