Perak: A Cry of ‘Equality’ From Another Moron

There are times when I am reminded that Malaysian politicians on both sides of the political fence are sometimes bigots at heart, and that Malaysian politics is sometimes a game of racial divide that is played to the hilt.

The latest example of this is the resignation and subsequent retraction of resignation of Buntong assemblyman A. Sivasubramaniam, who shall be called 'moron' from this point onwards. At this point I realise that I probably have a number of fingers poised to flick out in my direction in defence of this moron.

So what? Quite frankly, I don’t really give a damn.

Whether he, or the rakyat, were promised two Indian assemblymen appointments as state executive council members in the Perak State government or not is besides the point to me. The point is that yet again some idiot - this time an ignoble moron from DAP - is coming out of the woodwork to say that equal representation is the only way to govern the people of this nation.

I don’t know about you guys out there, but weren't we trying to crawl out of that mess? Does it really matter what the racial composition of any government, organisation, or association is, as long as the work gets done fairly and efficiently?

The way this moron is going on about things, I guess not.

Perhaps he does have a valid point of view. Or perhaps he is thinking along the same lines of PKR deputy president Dr Syed Husin Ali, who has previously called for "the spirit of sincere openness" because he "stress[es] that the composition of the exco must reflect the composition of the population of Perak and represent the interests of all ethnic groups fairly. All parties must be sensitive to the hopes and sentiments of the people".

Or perhaps he is a moron.

Either way, he still needs a kick up the bum for saying that "the decision [for one Indian assemblyman] was a huge slap for the Indian community and designed to hoodwink the Indian community in Perak" and for adding that the Perak state leadership the Perak DAP leadership had failed to respect "the voice of makkal sakti (People’s Power)".

I’m sorry, moron, but Makkal Sakti means more to me than just Indian power. It means people power. So please don’t turn this genuine cry for the recognition of rights and liberty into some nationalistic slogan for the Indians like the ruling coalition’s Takkan Melayu Hilang Di Dunia.

We do not need that sort of nonsense to come out to polarize us further as races, you moron. We're been struggling to come out of it for the last 30 years, and now that some of us have seen the light, you think you have the right to shove us back into that cesspool because of some misplaced pride?

Yes, Indians have been marginalised. So have the Chinese, Malays, Dayaks, Kadazans, Dusuns, Jakuns, Ibans, Orang Asli, etc.

What about their contribution? What about the contribution of the Chinese, the Malays, even card carrying UMNO members who voted or abstained from voting to give you that mandate to be in office in the first place?

Seriously, it irritates me when someone comes up with harebrained nonsense like 'equal representation', or some other hogwash like it.

An extension of this logic is that if the real minority in Malaysia were to demand recognition, we should go about trying to elect midget Orang Asli or Ibans into office because their piece of the pie is so much more smaller than the rest of us? Does that sound appealing to you, moron?

Yes, I know this post is going to make some of you out there unhappy. It really doesn’t matter to me. I’m not running for prom king, though from the looks of it I guess the moron is trying to run for prom queen.

Me, I’m no partisan. While I’m always up to take a swing - and enjoy every minute of it - at the ruling coalition, that does not mean that idiocy and arrogance is the sole province of those psychotic pseudo politicians. Everyone, including opposition members, have it in them to become just as idiotic and arrogant.

Personally, I agree with one of our readers. Don’t think for one second that the opposition are angels, and even if you do, remember that even angels can fall from grace.
