It was like the Umno idea of highlighting the May 13 riots and the beheading by Isis fighters at the recent assembly – a not-so-subtle reminder to those who opposed the government of what could happen somewhere in the not-too-distant future if they did not toe the line.
Or rather, how things will be handled in the future if Umno is out of power. And how some politicians will handle issues to keep national peace and order, or rather, power.
Umno appears to be legitimising the use of force and it is interesting that Hanif Omar instead of talking about the trend of young Malaysians going abroad and fighting and urging the government to tackle the root cause of this phenomenon seemed keen to talk about two non-existent threats to national security in Malaysia: the LGBT community and Christians.
It is interesting that it is these two groups on which Umno seems to be fixated. A party that claims to represent the majority is not as interested in furthering the community as it is in wanting to put down some minorities.
And if these minorities do not bow down and stay at the sidelines, would it not be hard to imagine that a few jihadists might find it their business to "take care" of them in the interests of religion, peace and order?
What is interesting is that these jihadists, Malaysians or otherwise, are now in a theatre of conflict against other Muslims whom they think are less Muslim than themselves.
Khairuddin Abu Hassan how did.Khairy Jamaluddin's position came about due to son in law?
If Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin does not understand how the law works than he should just keep quiet, said Batu Kawan Umno division leader Khairuddin Abu Hassan. The problem is, whether the Police can be trusted with such information.
Warlordism in UMNO their first options to make money
I’m a soldier, I have no regrets, says Khairy
Patronage politics and endemic corruption continue unabated. Helping the Malays has been used to justify national policies when in reality these policies benefit only cronies and a select few Chinese, usually every close members of the UMNO elite. There is a lot for UMNO to do, if it is to remain relevant.Finally, an UMNO guy has got out of the feudalistic mindset and starting to question the leadership. This should be the way to ensure good governance and competent leadership The instrument we are using to understand the reality of our existence and the reality of the world around us is not part of this (body) mechanism that is there. That’s why I say thoughts are not self-generated and are not spontaneous.
There are no thoughts there even now. If you want to find out whether there is any such thing as thought, the very question that we are posing to ourselves, namely, “Is there a thought?” is borne out of the assumption that there is a thought there.
But what you will find there is all about thought and not thought. All about thought is what is put in there by the culture.
That is put in by the people who are telling us that it is essential for you to free yourself from whatever you are trying to free yourself from through that instrument.
But once it dawns on you that thought is not the instrument, and that there is no other instrument, then there is no need for you to find out if any other instrument is necessary. This very instrument has in an ingenious way invented all kinds of things like intuition, right insight, right this, that, and the other. And to say that through this very insight, we have come to understand something is the stumbling block.
All insights, however extraordinary they may be, are worthless, because it is thought that has created what we call insight, and through that it is maintaining its continuity and status quo.
Looking deep into Dirty Tengku Adnan eyes, can be an uncomfortable experience because he is notprepared for the truths revealed eyes are the windows to the soul; they indicate the real you. Have you tried looking deep into your own eyes? Most people are scared of doing so, even as self-help gurus encourage us to do so. For, our eyes can sometimes reveal truths that we are not prepared to face. You could fool the whole world and even yourself into believing whatever your mind wants you to believe, but the accusing look, the hurt in your eyes will pull you up sharply. As beautifully put by a poet trying to explain the connection between eyes and the soul, “Eyes mirror our souls… actually they don’t. They have been carved out of our souls
The rules of political imagery and image-building are surprisingly stringent. Liers likeTengku Adnan are not born, they’re made Creating a public image is not necessarily peddling a lie. essentially doing is conflating the notion of the self-styled representative of UMNO
his own trademark of opulence of all sorts. So to Najib, one cannot afford to live without Malaysia’s Sedition Act Khairy Jamaluddin dynastic leadership the myths propagated
