ELECTION WATCH (11): Of Princes and Scoundrels, Of Gems and Coals

Desiderata would like to rate some of the candidates and hopefully, provide a guide to my EsteemedReaders as to Who they should opt for if they hail from their Constituencies. If anything, I am sharing my knowledge gained as a Journalist for 25 years, and some three years as a Blogger (the new media!:) specialising in the categoriy mGf Dr Say Yee How now resident in the US by still as loud as before when he dwelt near Buckingham Palace -- hear his desibelles at howsy.blogspot.com.

Of Princes and Scoundrels is not for Desi to classify, but I'd try to show the signages to the Gems and Coals. At the fundamental level, they come from the same element named CARBON. But the end result of a long journey of nurture and transformation -- reformasi? -- has yielded sparkling carbons such as diamonds and emeralds, to be highly prized, contrasted with the coke and charcoal, to be burnt and nt mcuh treasured except as a source of energy to protect us from wintry cold.

Here's the list of DYNASTIES in the making for starters:

As I stated before, in principle,I am not against members of the same family contesting if they have individually proven themselves in public service and had not relied on their parents/siblings/FIL's apron strings to be nominated. A common trait I have obsrved is that Asian political families think they are anointed by the Great One Above to inherit the birthright to high political office. Equally common from Ruling parties and Opposition front.

But becoming a billionaire at 27 years, and claiming "I've worked very hard for it for two years", then disappeared when the Stock Market crashed in 1997/98 and the banks did not chase after the blardy fellow for hundreds of millions because of Daddy? YOU blardy Joe and Jane public owes any bank just RM100,000 for a House mortgage,or even RM10,000 for a Car loan, and defaulting on three payments, YOU GET A LAWYER'S LETTER OF DEMAND. While the billionaire-on-paper and near-bankrupt goes away for a holiday in Australia. If by now you don't know of whom I write, here's a HINT:
"Eat, Drink and Be Merry!" is his clarion call.

Does Roselinda Abdul Jamil (Klang - Port Klang) ring a belle?

She is UMNO's flagbearer holding a torch to her greAt Father-in-Law (outlaw?) who broke municipal laws baltantly but yet no action was taken against for the illegal construction of his famous/infamous "small house" costing RM7-10million. If you have to ask Desi who he's, please getta hell outa hear! Have you been living on planet Mars for the past four years?

If you are such an Ignoramus, then Desi has failed himself in Civil Society promotion for three years. My appeal to you is that Please Move Out of Where You Are Residing Now to PORT KLANG.
Then sign up as an UMNO member, squat on State land, apply for the land title with an ENDORSEMENT BY wan Zakaria Mad Deros. Now you remember eh?
Well, if Klangites Vote for
Roselinda Abdul Jamil, then I say Goode for You -- how more masochistic can Satay-gobbling Klangites get?
YOU FINALLY arsed FOR ALL THE SHIT and SHITTY SAs YOU GET, and DESERVE TOO!
Sweet FIL's gal Roselinda Abdul Jamil will proudly continue her Father-in-law's legacy -- reinforce with impunity and immunity blatant breaches of the Law, and getting away Scot-free with a mere tap on the wrist. OOch! puteri (umno-no) lilin skin she has.






MEANw'ile,


And now from olde records being rewound of bollywood and ... troupes who should have ended the singing long, long ago:(

S Samy Vellu, MIC president, fighting in Sungai Siput -- last infamous quotable quote:

"I will leave if the people do not want me anymore.
This wil be my last term."

Words to this effect, I remember reading, will take a breather to track down the original,Okay!:)
