Point made, Point taken, *Point Qualified

The New Straits Times, which has subtly undergone some morphosis discerned by Desi's I-I since March 9, today frontpaged some intriguing Points:

Point made,
point taken
(*Point qualified is by Desi, later:)

"The result of the elections was
a strong message that I have
not moved fast enough in pushing
through with the reforms that I had
promised to undertake ... I thank the
Malaysian people for this message."

~~ Datuk Seri Abdulllah Ahmad Badawi

MAIN THRUST OF THE PRIMEMINISTER'S REFORM
PROGRAMME TO HELP LOW-INCOME EARNERS:

+ Curb rising prices and limit waste caused by *subsidies.

+ Spread economic gains to the neediest.

+ narrow income gaps between and within ethnic groups.

DESIDERATA:

That *Point qualified must mean the *subsidies include the wastages and seepages, loot from day-robbery from Monsoon cuppas and robber barony from the infamous and similar PKFZones --

accruing to UMNOputra and **super-Bumi OLIGARCHS (I like this BIG word since I learnt its true meaning at Doc Mave's maverickysm.blogspot.com two years ago!:), MCA and MIC and East Malaysian BN minors and a whle retinue of BN and non-BN (taking care of IPF, Kimma and MIUP, remember?) lackeys and ball-carriers and law-breakers like (late) Zakaria Mat Deros and wan (not late) Muhammad s/o Muhammad, et al. Desi thinks Raja Petra Kamarudin of malaysia-today.net has a more compleat list, or is it de list?)

**super-Bumi defines a cettain type who are not born a Bumiputra but acquire a status hi-er by connections to UMNO fishhead or SIL, like a fromer NS MCA cheaptain they call Dr Gan Kong somethin', and another Monsoon cheaptain named Patrick Lim Badawi, that is, if you believe Desi (who hails from Negri Sembilan), and Pete (I can call you this, RPK, buddy?) who hails from Selangor, whose rumours often come true. Making many blue.

POSTscript:

The following CONFESSION by the PM in hindsight even if he had over-slept sometimes, must surely warm the cockles of sdr bernard khoo's (see, lower case because VVe are humble socialist-socialites at hard:) heart. Rumour has it that this Blogger hyding at zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com once trained at a nunnery to be a Father (see, UPPER CASE! show respect-lah!) so he's quite adept or amenable to take confessions, even from the Opposition front, I gather ... Correct me, guardian of CathyZjones' morals, if I'm knot wrong, I heard you tore up a life-membership kad of Amex, ah?)

Internet served a painful lesson

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Barisan Nasional lost the online war in the general election.

"We didn't think it was important. It was a serious misjudgment," he said at the opening of Invest Malaysia 2008. "We thought that the newspapers, the print media, the television were important but young people were looking at text messages and blogs."

Abdullah said the influence of alternative media "was painful. But it came at the right time, not too late". The web and SMS allowed parties like DAP, Parti Keadilan Rakyat and Pas, which have long complained of bias in the traditional media, to reach voters directly.

PPS: Brudder, now my own cuntfession -- I peeped into thy ladies' chamber lust night, and I saw aMore than THOU jest taking confessions from sinners/offenders like Pak Lah (who I had a soft spot for in his first two years of PMship, really, check my Archives:) and Desi. God save us from our humanness and mortality. Amen/Amin
