Crazy Stupid Politics

An article by ‘Life of Annie’ about ‘Stupid Malay Men’ caught my attention the other day. It was a short yet a very ‘compact’ article, just enough to explain the mentality of Malay men. Of course, not all Malay men are stupid but most of them are, especially those in politics. And this includes those graduated from the most prominent universities in the world.

We cannot, however, tell whether they become stupid after they joined politics, or they joined politics because they are stupid.

Still, this doesn’t mean that men of other races in politics are not stupid. Oh yes, they are stupid too, but only a different kind of stupid. I’m telling you that the Chinese-men-kind-of-stupid is a lot more dangerous because it comes in a mass, not individual.

For example, Lim Guan Eng can say that DAP couldn’t count the approximately 2,000 votes correctly because the computer broke down and all Chinese would believe him whole-heartedly and stand on the same argument forever.

If the Malays only drool over Dyana Sofea, a DAP’s dumb-blonde lawyer-supposed-to-be, the Chinese would elect that dumb-blonde as their Representative. Never mind that she cannot perform or even understand her job, as long as she remains dumb and follows DAP’s orders, then all the Chinese would vote for her.

The Chinese knows that voting the dumb-blonde would not cause their business to go bankrupt or their lives become poor because the BN federal government will make sure of that. BN government always takes very good care of the people - always has and always will. And yet, the Chinese will not vote BN!

- This, is what I call a special kind of stupid.

Just the other day, an Indian politician from DAP decided to start a fight and called UMNO ‘Celaka’ which resulted in the Malays running amok. He then refused to apologize and insists that ‘Celaka’ is just a bad word that means nothing and that there is no need for all the ‘amok’.

Like a true gangster, he repeats the word again and again, obviously enjoying the rage that he had ignited. But at the same time, he is scared and demands to be protected from the amok of the Malays.

- This, is what I call the stupid kind of stupid.

And guess what? This ‘Celaka’ issue has now turned into a stupid game called ‘who will apologize first?’.

Well, UMNO has been an expert in apologizing ever since. UMNO will apologize for anything even when it is not its fault. In fact, UMNO has been very apologetic in its actions and words lately. Therefore, I have a strong feeling that UMNO will eventually apologize for being such a ‘celaka’ to DAP… .(.and MCA too?).

- This, is what we call plain stupid.

You see, the problem here is how long will we be able to stand stupidity? Can a country survive when all politicians are stupid? What will happen to us if we keep electing stupid politicians to serve and rule?

We can’t fix stupid, but we can vote it out. Unfortunately, in Malaysian’s context, this is almost impossible because that would mean we will have nobody to serve and rule.

The U.S and other western countries’ leaders including their MPs and Representatives aren’t that smart too, but their countries have arrived at a point where they may survive on autopilot, at least for a couple of decades to come. This is so because, while they may not have the most brilliant leaders, they do have the most brilliant people. They have scientists and engineers who invent, discover and create things that the world needs, and for that, they help ensure their countries’ survival.

Therefore, I believe that a country can still survive when only the ‘leaders’ are stupid, but not when both the ‘people’ and the ‘leaders’ are all stupid. Therefore, since we cannot fix the leaders, let us fix ourselves:

For that, the Chinese are going to have to stop thinking as ‘one’ in terms of race, but start using their own individual brain. - In other words stop being that special kind of stupid aka racists.

The Indians are going to have to stop manipulating their own brains just to justify their actions. - In other words, stop being that stupid kind of stupid aka hypocrites.

The Malays will have to stop drooling, and start learning to use the brains. - In other words, stop being stupid aka stupid.

If everybody is getting smarter, ‘stupid’ will eventually extinct and we will not have to elect stupid politicians anymore.

Of course, this is not as easy as it sounds as some of us are stupid by choice.

All Races in DAP Must Fight for the Chinese!

There are not many Malays in DAP, although the party always claim that it is a multi-racial party. And among these few Malays, almost none of them made it to the top post. No matter how long they have served the party, they will always remain as just one of the members, without any significant position.

The same scenario can be seen in almost all our private sectors where Malays will remain as lower subordinates no matter how brilliant and capable they are. Only when there is a need, like liaising with government officers, the Malays will then be put forward as top representatives of the company. If there is no such need, they will remain as second-class employees.

The Malays in private sectors learned their lesson well. Most are very much aware of the Chinese’s strategy to keep them away from the more important posts and higher salary. Over time, they become stronger, smarter and all equipped with the will and ability to survive the backstabbing and discrimination by the Chinese. As a result, the Chinese find them more and more intimidating and therefore, will do much more to ‘curb’ the rise of these Malays. With the company being owned by the Chinese, the Malays cannot do much but hang on and remain on the ‘losing’ side in this ‘brutal warfare’.

The scenario might be the same in DAP but the Malays in DAP are of different material altogether. These Malays are proud to work even only as a writer for Roketkini – thinking that being accepted among the Chinese is a statement of their ‘exceptional’ ability. They would also be happy enough to be given a small post out of ‘obligation’ to help DAP project an image of a multi-racial party. They might not get even one vote by the non-Malay voters in the party election and managed to secure the small posts only by direct appointment, but they are proud just the same, believing that this is what ‘total equality’ is all about.

One girl, however, managed to get quite as high in DAP.

This girl, Dyana Sofea, ia a UiTM graduate, and a daughter of an UMNO Divisional Secretary. Dyana has been a Political Secretary to Lim Kit Siang for some time now, and she is said to be a candidate for Teluk Intan’s by-election.

How did Dyana, a Malay, manage to get that far and earned the trust of the ‘Emperor’ himself? Hmm…here’s the secret: The dumber you are, the higher you get. Of course, Tunku Aziz did get to the top in DAP, but something happened to him: He learned his lesson and became smart.

You see, in order for a Malay to ‘be’ in DAP, one must first show that they love the Chinese more than their own race. They must deny the fact that the Malays have rights to their own motherland like the Chinese have rights to hold on to their roots.

Dyana proved to be just that perfect Malay. This girl once made a statement that there are no more poverty among Malays in Penang in her effort to deny that total equality is still a far-fetched dream.

Although a product of bumiputera’s privileges herself, Dyana fights for UiTM to be opened to all races and condemned the fact that it only accepts bumiputeras. Dyana never bothers about Chinese schools though.

Also, she doesn’t mind the race polarization and Malay discrimination in private sectors but I’m sure that she cares about not having enough Chinese in government agencies.

It doesn’t bother Dyana that she can hardly find one Malay-owned shop in three to five blocks of shoplots in the city. But it must have bothered Dyana that there are only 7 Chinese in the list of 10 most riches people in Malaysia. Her small dysfunctional brain must have translated it as a clear evident of discrimination against the minority race.

Dyana also shares the same disappointment as Professor Ariffin Omar towards UiTM for holding a seminar on ‘Allah’ issue recently. The seminar is said to have hurt the Christians and so it has hurt Dyana and the Professor too, as they both are very sensitive, soft-hearted, Chinese-lovers, total-equality fighters. FYI, Prof. Ariffin is another DAP Malay who was appointed to the CEC just to add some ‘brownish’ in the voted ‘bright-yellow’ front. But even as a Professor, he couldn’t get as high as Dyana – most probably because he is ‘not dumb enough’.

Both Dyana and the professor claimed that UiTM had abused the freedom of speech by using the seminar to condemn the Christians.

For their information, my Christian friends see the ‘Allah-issue’ Seminar as Muslim’s retaliation against the non-stop provocation by the Evangelists. The rational, peace-loving, non-political Christians understand that there wouldn’t be such a seminar if their Evangelalist brothers didn’t insist on using ‘Allah’ in Bibles - just like there wouldn’t be such things as ‘special bumi rights’ if the Chinese ain’t so racist and insist on vernacular schools and all.

The point here is, in order to be ‘accepted’ by DAP, a Malay must fight for the Chinese, and better yet, for the Christians too. They must uphold Chinese as the greater race and accept their own race as lesser-race.

While BN allows MCA, MIC and UMNO to fight for each respective race in the spirit of friendship and patriotism, DAP allows all races in the party to fight for the Chinese alone - no other race matters.

I don’t know whether Dyana or Professor Ariffin will be reading this piece, but I know for a fact that even if they read this it will not change anything. In fact, they might just accuse me of being an UMNO guy trying to break them apart. Well, I hope they realize that I cannot be an UMNO guy because I’m not a Malay or bumiputera.

So, it’s true what Einstein said that ‘stupidity is infinite’. If these Malays are not infinitely stupid, would DAP take them in and push them up? Who in the right mind would ‘kill’ their own people just for pat on the head by others?
