THE SEASON OF MADNESS IS UPON US! Ringing up the curtain is the detention and charging of PKR MP for Batu, Tian Chua, yesterday for "sedition" in conjunction with statements he made on the Lahat Datu intrusion by some 200-300 Sulu sultanate disciples. The durian and rainy seasons come annually and Malaysans fatten on the king of fruits and bathe in the rain to calm their nerves and temps raised by politikuses and bloggers on both sides of the divide.
This latest type of season comes about once in four to five years -- lasts for about a few months preceding the Malaysian General Elections, and the 13th GE is impending, must be held by end-June 2013 if this incumbent Government abides by the The Law and rules.
On the Lahat Datu incurion by Filipinos -- the Government had forst traeted them with kids' gloves deeming them to be mere irritant of some neighbours staking an invalid claim to Sabah. Only more than ONE WEEK AFTER THE INVASION STARTED on Feb 12, 2013, did the Government, claiming to also speak for the UMNO took it upon themselves to take offence on the street-fighter spirited PK VP Tian's statemenst, and their macais throughout the country on cue lodged police reports against the defiant Tian, who said the charge against was politically motivated and he would defend himself and clear the purported allegations by UMNO MSM and bloggers to paint the MP as a y=traitorous Malaysian. The UMNO goons even displayed banners asking that the honourqable elected Wakil Rakyat to have his "citizenship revokled". Ranfdg a bell how these goons on cue responded to BERSIH chair Ambiga Sreenavasan who led the 50,00-plus styrong people's protest for "fair and clean eklections". Perkasa-type cl;ones have often shouted to Malaysians to balik Tong San and balik India -- and that IS NOT SEDITIOUS.
Police sedately/or izzit sedated? stood by when hooligans from UMNO demonstarted in front of the PKR Hq at Merchant Square, Tropicana,a few days ago -- shouting clarion calls to "burn down the building!" Echoes of similar goons a decade ago also demonstarted by a few hundred strong at the KLSCAH building threatening to burn down the SUQUI office housed inside KLSCAH. Yes, these pro-UMNO demos are also deemed friendly to the PDRM, so they pay no heed to death threats and outright incitement to destroying property.
So the UMNO Home Minister in accordance with his BUNGLING SOP had to make a scapegoat our of Tian Chua. I think this latest episode of charging Tian officiaaly starts the SEASON OF MADENESS. Officially you expect all the political news from now out would serve the political masters' voices. UMNO-controlled pres like Utusan and NST would tell Najib Tun Razak -- Mr PM, what you say is What you get! MCA's The Star and most of the Chinese papers would similarly tell Dr Chua SL -- What the MCA head instructs, you will get (provided you up our bonuses this year-lah! WHILE SOME EDITORS can look forward to a DATUKSHIP at the next investiture at State and Federal levels!)
So the journalists at the MSM, which include TV stations like RTM 1, 2 et al, and TV3 will only report objectively in the SPORTS and ENTERTAINING sections, even the VIZ Section is skewed to GOOD NEWS4Gomen -- and the most objective reportage are in the Magnum, Toto and PanMalaysianPools (DaMaCai-lah!) results! For political news, please go ONLINE OK! Of course, you must also bear with some spinning by both factions and Third Force madcaps -- YOU THEN MAKE INFORMED INFERENCES AFTER DIGESTING ALL THE MADE INGREDIENTS THAT MAKE UP THE MALAYSIAN ROJAK on the GE13 menu.
