FOOD FOR THOUGHT I am not thinking like most people about what Hindraf Makkal Sakthi chairman Waythamoorthy is up to, whether he will be co-opted by the system, what will become of the Hindraf 18 Points and the Class Action Suit filed in London
My only interest is to keep the issues alive so that, no matter who comes or goes the ultimate goal of cutting down the Government to size and getting rid of its overbearing, obnoxious, creepy presence from our lives will be reached.
The less Government and politics we have, the better forMalaysia
We have been talking nothing but politics since 2008. It looks like we will still be discussing nothing but politics until 2018 by which time the 14th GE should be held.
If not for the Blackout 505 Rallies we could have stopped the politicking until 2018.
The Opposition should decide as quickly as possible what it wants. Either it goes to Court or shut up and face what's coming. They can't go on with these rallies forever. They are likely to be counter-productive.
In 2008, Anwar was beating the drums of war on Sept 16. It was just a ploy to keep the Opposition in line and prevent defections. Sure enough, when it became apparent that there wasn't going to be any Sept 16, Perak happened and several Opposition MPs jumped ship and became "BN-friendly", whatever that means. Umno used Sept 16 as an excuse for Perak and to lure the parliamentary frogs.
This time Anwar has said there won't be another Sept 16.
Still, the Blackout 505 Rallies appear to be a repeat of Sept 16 i.e. designed to prevent defections from PR. As long as the rallies continue, no Opposition MP dare jump ship. They will face a lynch mob. The moneybags linked to Umno are out in full force. If Umno wants these rallies to stop, it should call off these moneybags who seem to be more worried about their future than that of the country.
The people have chosen a two-party/coalition system in Malaya and Sarawak and a three-party/coalition system inSabah .
Their choice should be respected by all. Why is Mahathir & Co plotting behind the scenes with the moneybags?
If Anwar suspects that Umno is after his MPs, he's likely to go all the way and overthrow the Federal Government no matter what price he has to pay.
We live not in interesting but dangerous times.
