Mail your MP

Amongst all the hue and cry over the detention and incarceration of Raja Petra Kamarudin, and the other ISA detainees, most of us seem to be trying too hard to think of what we can do to solve the issue. In itself, these attempts by us need applause. Yes, we’re all outraged at yet another travesty of justice by our BN boys. In our anger, outrage and frustration, we seem to be tying ourselves in knots thinking up the perfect response.

But maybe a slight pause will give us a simpler perspective.

What are we fighting for? Petra? Hindraf 5? It shouldn’t be. We should be fighting tooth and nail for that dastardly Act to be completely abolished instead of for individuals. Only then can we make sure that in future no more Petras or Theresas or anyone for that matter will be put away without a chance to defend themselves.

Instead of coming up with all sorts of outlandish plans, can we try something simpler? Why not put pressure on your MP? Email him or her constantly. Harass her or him relentlessly. Let him or her know that you, one of his or her constituents, has got an issue and you would want him or her to bring it up. Bring it up where it matters; in parliament.

If you’re not sure how to go about contacting your MP, kindly clink on the link below or cut and paste the link below into your browser.

Once you've gotten your MP's attention. let them know in no uncertain terms that they had better bring up your concerns to Parliament. The result of not doing so would be disastrous to them.
Another suggestion I would like to make (but this one’s more directly linked to Petra) is for the Muslim leaders to come out truthfully and acknowledge that the articles that Petra wrote has got none of the elements the authorities are accusing them of having. Come out and say that on the contrary, the articles highlighted the beauty of Islam. This is what Petra was doing. We need the religious big shots – hey Nik Aziz, where are you la? – to come out and say that there’s nothing wrong with the articles and that Islam is NOT insulted in any way and that Syed Hamid and the police don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.

ISA…..WTF?

So this is the strategy or gameplan for the endgame huh? Get everyone who opposes them, dump them in Kamunting and go on patting themselves on the back that everybody in the country is happy with them. WTF!!!

Well it is a hugely dangerous endgame these boys from barisan have decided to start. It’s not only dangerous for them, but can have dangerous repercussions and ramifications for the country as well. You see, some of us can see right through their freaking lies and double speak as easily as we can see through mosquito netting.

The endgame strategy being played out is simple. It is to antagonise the Chinese. Stir them. Raise up their “hungry ghosts”. Make the Chinese lose it. Once they’ve lost it and take to the streets, the wizened old sages masquerading as the leaders of this country will declare a nationwide emergency to “protect the wishes – and safety - of the majority”.

Hey, psst…. Syed Albar, you really think we’re dickheads like you and your ilk ah? PTUI!!! Podah!! Let me tell you a secret. This is not 1969. It’s 2008. If you and your Barisan buddies could get your heads out of Saiful’s ass for a couple of minutes, you’ll probably realize that.

Okay, before anyone starts accusing me of jumping the gun here, let me explain. But before I explain, you explain to me the REAL purpose behind the ISA arrest of Teresa Kok and especially Tan Hoon Cheng. Tell me the REAL purpose for the show cause letters to Sin Chew and theSun. WTF??

Yeah, WTF….what did Tan Hoon Cheng do? Her freaking job! Just imagine you’re a postman delivering mail to hundreds of households who depend on you for their mail. You deliver this one envelope that has Urusan Seri Paduka Baginda printed proudly on it and the cops come and bust you for that and dump you in freaking Kamunting. I’m sure that’d make your day wouldn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what Tan was doing. Her bloody job. She’s a reporter. She reports. She’s not a producer or director to produce or direct. What she saw, she reported. Full stop. Nothing less or nothing more.

What really irks is that the bloke who created, produced and directed the story gets off literally scot-free, but the one who reports it get tucked away in some god forsaken place. WTF??

And what about theSun? What sensitive issues did they manipulate and highlight? Samy Vellu’s fucking of the Indians who he was supposed to take care of? Khir Toyo’s raping of playing fields and fondling of any piece of land that caught his eye? WTF is wrong with highlighting these issues?

See what I’m getting at? Our highly intelligent leaders have decided that the best or only recourse available to them is to re-use a trick that succeeded way back in 1969. Create the problem, suggest the solution and become the savior. Sound familiar? Despots the world over and throughout history have used this method to keep themselves in power or to strengthen their grip on power. From their myopic viewpoint which is probably partially blocked by Saiful’s rectum, they fail to see that this ploy only works with uninformed or disinterested citizenry. Unfortunately for the despots in Malaysia, WE MALAYSIANS have awakened. We are very interested and we are very very informed. We have opened our eyes and have seen these power crazy bastards for what they really are - selfish pariahs who’ll sell their own mothers to a pimp if it gets to keep them in power.

And if they’re hoping to get a reaction from the Chinese, or the Indians or Malays for that matter, this will be it. We will stand before you hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder not as Malays, Chinese or Indians but as Malaysians and we’ll fight you until there’s none of us left standing. If you want to attack the Chinese, you’ll have to get through us Indians and Malays first. If you want to attack the Indians, you’ll have to get through us Malays and Chinese first. If you want to attack the Malays, you’ll have to get through us Chinese and Indians first. Get the message?

Let me conclude by repeating what Raja Petra said to those who still want to play the racial game in Malaysia; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

If you choose to ignore the warning and continue doing what you’re doing, and something happens to you, please don’t say WTF!!
