Dr M And A Garland Of Slippers

16.9.2009.

During the recently concluded MIC elections, some of the delegates had heaped scorn on Mahathir for allegedly interfering in the affairs of the MIC for stating in his blog, inter alia, that Samy Vellu is destructive to the Indian community and for throwing his support behind Samy’s arch nemesis Subramaniam, who was contesting the Vice President’s post in a three-cornered fight with Palanivelu and Sothinathan.

One of the delegates suggested that a garland of slippers should be worn around the portrait of MM and this drew the ire of Najib and UMNO and other Malay-based organizations ranging from a public and personal apology to MM to throwing out MIC from the BN.

My comments to an article on the said subject matter which appeared in one of the blogs:

Dear Sir,

Let me first get a few formalities out of my chest.

I hate.. no I despise Dr M….. for permitting unmitigated corruption to fester and become a way of life... for tearing down the judiciary, nay for the rape of the judiciary.... for making the Royalty to kow tow to him by removing their immunity... for making the Police Force a power unto themselves... for misusing the government's purse in the billions to bail out his cronies ( remember Tajudin and Malaysian Airlines?)..... for muzzling our inalienable right to express ourselves boldly and without fear or favour….. by whipping us ever so often with the ISA et al. Gosh.. I feel good now! To the detractors, let me just say that this list is by no means exhaustive!

In so far as this controversy goes, let as not attempt to give a prognosis of the ailment without ascertaining its cause.

The 20 million dollar Q is: WHY DID DR M POKE HIS FREAKING NOSE INTO THE AFFAIRS OF THE MIC?

Is this the oft-repeated “Malaysian way?” Is this the BN's way... meddling into your coalition partners affairs? More so when the party elections are looming?

Hey, if you choose to play with fire, you can either cook yourself a dinner ( my apologies to the wonderful Siti Hasmah ) or get your blooming and wrinkled fingers burnt! Its elementary Watson.

If you feel compelled to meddle in other peoples' affairs, please be man enough to face their wrath when they retaliate. Be man enough to give them an appropriate riposte... and don't run to Najib or Muhidin everytime your feathers get a little ruffled by your own idiocy! And for God's sake don't give a racial spin to it.

By the way, when Dr M left UMNO, was it not Musa Hitam who opined something to the effect that a cancerous cyst was finally excised from UMNO? What about Nazri... I am told that this guy, despite his academic qualifications and social upbringing,is nothing but a verbal canon ball( but I am digressing). Didn't this guy say something to the effect that Dr M can go to hell?

Now all you wise people out there: what action did you all propose against these two prominent Malaysians for acting so unMalaysian against a supposedly great Malaysian?

Hey guys... again don't get me wrong! I am not encouraging that its alright to garland Dr M with slippers. I will tell you straightaway without blinking an eyelid and without second thoughts that that was rather uncouth or biadap, as our Malay brethren would say.

The point I am really trying to get at is this : isn't there someone in UMNO who has got the testicular fortitude or the scrotal gumption to tell this grand old man to just mind the grandchildren ( and his own business) and leave the running of the government to Najib.

Haven’t we had enough of him for 20 blooming years??????

As it is, Najib already has his hands full with 1Malaysia, KJ, Mongolia, Baginda, Scorpion etc and he certainly can do without babysitting Dr M.

In case you guys are wondering that Semi-value paid me to write this piece, let me assure you that I hate this guy just as much for squandering the life and fate of the Indians in this country for over 20 years and today he has the audacity to say that the rakyat are not angry with the MIC but with BN. Aiyo Samy.
