OUTRAGE...

Or should it be OUTAGE?

With some segment of Malaysians, their minds empty out selectively.
That's when it, the mind, suffers from an outage because it has been occupied with loads of garbage and overflowing with Ringgit, Dollar and Renminbi. Some of these blinkered minds are, on close inspection, so shallow that even my niece and nephew at primary school shows better IQ outputs. Check out if my dear EsteemedReaders agree.

MCA's YEW TEONG LOOK's one seemingly uprighteous politikus (to be distinquished from fellow Blogger host at her new abode @polytikus.com) showing his Outrage. Wow, what courage indeed, but Desi sometimes wonders he has been asleep the past 12 months somewhere in Timbuktwo? Could not see what's happening in the royal town of Port Klang and the cowboy town of Johor Bharu.

Politician’s use of fake photograph ‘disgraceful’

KUALA LUMPUR: Tian Chua is under fire for refusing to apologise over a fake photograph of Datuk Seri Najib Razak, political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda and an Altantuya Shariibuu lookalike dining together.

Politicians want the Parti Keadilan Rakyat information chief to apologise for using the "doctored" photograph showing Najib and the others together.

Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin said Tian Chua had no excuses for publishing the photograph on his web blog.

"What he claims is art or humour is not only in bad taste but also offends the sensibilities of every rational Malaysian."

He said Tian Chua’s actions were disgraceful and an example of dirty tactics used by the opposition party.

Tian Chua had admitted to superimposing the pictures but claimed that it was a work of art for use in his own private space.

He also refused to apologise or retract the photograph.

Federal Territories Ministry parliamentary secretary Yew Teong Look said the photograph proved that Tian Chua had failed as a politician.

"Politicians need to lead by example and Tian Chua’s actions are not exemplary (in this respect). Don’t talk about politics. Even on moral grounds, it wasn’t the right thing to do," he said.

This was echoed by Suhakam human rights commissioner Datuk N. Siva Subramaniam who said it was not Tian Chua’s right to show disrespect to Najib.

"His actions have nothing to do with human rights. It’s an issue of respect. Regardless of one’s political leaning, respect should be given to the leadership, more so the office of deputy prime minister."

Siva Subramaniam was also worried that Tian Chua’s actions might mislead some people into thinking that the photograph was real. This could result in the people not trusting the administration, he added.

Putera Umno chief Datuk Abdul Azeez Abdul Ibrahim urged Tian Chua to apologise for his actions.

"He should apologise, admit his mistake. What he has done is an insult to our national leaders and Umno. It must not be tolerated."

DESIDERATA:

Okay, for those still not in the know, here's Tian Chua's mistresspiece which is trying to challenge Desi's Midnight Voices cover design for 20million. Judging by the desibelles raised in public domain in terms of hits and voices traised,including from these "righteous" BN politikus, I guess I am trailing far behind the PKR Information Chief.






Photo reprised from the original author's album @tianchua.net, July entry.

To Desi, many politikus from Barisan Nasional have been guilty of worse commissions of outrageous acts, or omissions of duty, but I shan't sing the litany lest I bore my EsteemedReaders and I register zero readership and I will be captain of a ship for one/wan which is not much fun-D!

But Desi has always preached "write with a basis to yuour claim, show thy RATionale, however mousey!" So Desi can't help but pluck out a few recent examples (stolen or bolorrowe or plagiarsied from some fellow Bloggers' sue me if you care, I don't have much in my bank accounts unlike the few Protagonists mentioned in the news rerport above; my educated guess-lah. No, I'm not prvy to their assest or liabilities. But their bases of OUTRAGE? I suspect it's more suitable to term as OUTAGE...It's on public record.

Politikus KJ, Yew TL, Abdul Azeez: where is your OUTRAGE when the following pictures (NO, these are not someone's imagination out of fertile minds or photoshopped creations!) were all over town?

Zakaria Md Deros' small house amidst all the squatters towering mansions in Port Klang.

Photo4 (to come, Miss Patience is also Virtuous!:):



BIG mansions in Kampung Berembang being demolished. Temples tooin other parts of Selangor. For being there with no planning approvals -- like Zakaria's small house, it too had no planning approvals, but Zak is a Datuk, and he's a BN politikus, that's the righteous platform he's serving from. So KJ, Yew TL, Azeez, are your God-gifted brains suffering from OUTAGES? Have eyes but eyes no see? See-liau-liau, You Tian Look!

Before some of you start throwing stones, please check if your small houses have glass windows, Okay! -- by Madmonk (?), I believe said this original, and I suspect he also composed this for Desi -- THanks -- but too shy to claim credit. Hey, it's okay, I don't ask my guests for their MyKad wan, I only need to see a S-mile from the heart.:)

And when Johor residents marched to the Menteri Besar's residence to protest the growing violent crime rates in the state -- rape, murder, robbery -- did YEW TL show his empathy and OUTRAGE with them? SH*T, one of Yew TL's brethren leaders of ministerial rank even issued an official statement "dissociating" the party from the demostartors' outrage.

Talk about "disgraceful" behaviour"?
Bad taste?
Yew, you take a look into the mirror ... Oh poor you,
yours is made of gold, can't see your own reflection!

The majority of the people are "silent" most times, but when it comes to showing their OUTRAGE, they gathered in front of Zak's "small house".
They also gathered in front of Ghani Othman's residence.

Where were the MCA, UMNO and MIC big guns?

Where were you Yew TL, and KJ and Azees?

At the nightclubs and K-joints -- Eat, Drink and Be Merry?

Last but not the least, from someone in blogosphere who's in touch with
the pulse of the Rakyat, but not shouting at the top fo their voices
labelling Tian Chua's spoof as "disgraceful" and demanding Apologies left, right and centre cometh, like fresh spring water to calm our nerves and jagged souls~~~~

From nigh a nunnery in the highlands towering above mantin near furong:

For Desi,

So many laws, so many creeds,
No wisdom, the heart bleeds,
Rituals, traditions all importance,
No wisdom, intuitive impotence,
So much hypocrisy, so much bigotry,
No wisdom, the blind's entry,
So much confusion and compulsion,
No wisdom, adherents' revulsion,
So little questioning,
No wisdom, only positioning,
Where are you, my child?
The centre of universe, or in the wild?
You have to listen to your heart,
And your silence shall guide you to your heart,
Listen carefully, my child,
In there, wisdom shall speak, my child,
Be gentle with yourself, be courageous,
Be strong against the outrageous,
The light shall come and guide you,
For there, it is the guiding light for you,
It's there you will learn,
And yearn,
The harmony of the ying,
And the Yang,
It's separateness, an illusion,
Together, there is no delusion,
It's emptiness, they say,
And in emptiness, ying and yang lay,
It's there, you will find harmony and Oneness,
Till eternity in open-ness.

ha,ha..........may you be always happy and healthy, Desi

Parting shot to ponder, from The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince), published in 1943, which is French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's most famous novel:

"'On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux' (It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye)."~~ The Little Prince
