The Smiling Bastard
You heard me all right, the bastard been smiling since he stepped down a while ago and handed over the power to the-bastard-in-the-making (TBITM). Who is the bastard that I am referring to? Well it would not be so much fun if I tell you now isn’t it? Read on and perhaps you can tell who is it? For the fun of it, I would refer to this entity as “the bastard” (TB) rather than her or him. Just to make sure that you people will keep “guessing” who is TB I am referring to?
TB handed over the power to the next person, knowingly that Kerajaan Barisan Nasional (KBN) will surely lost the next GE if TB still in charge of KBN. TB was right, KBN won by more than 90% of majority nationwide simply because TB no longer in charge, KBN lost only to a few opposition strongholds. Till these days, I wish that TB would not do that because Malaysia will now be under opposition if not for TB smart move. But TBITM has no idea on the kind of things waiting ahead; things that even TB too scare to face off.
TB foresees that Malaysian has been fairly educated in choosing their leader compared to TB’s era in the eighties and nineties. In the beginning of 2000 millennia, internet influence on spreading news nationwide within minutes somehow defunct KBN owned media such as Utusan, NST groups, RTM, TV3 and many more. The people can no longer be cheated through cheap propaganda or dirty political accusation such as sodomy or making fun of country constitution for the sake of holding on to the power and so on. It is no longer 1998 where people are afraid to speak the truth knowingly that TB will quash them right into ISA or making them guilty on some fabricated crime that never exist. Not even KBN own people from UMNO(recently), MCA, MIC and SAPP(lately) are afraid to sound their disagreement openly. For missing all that and let TBITM to face it alone, I can tell you that TB has been smiling ever since then till today.
With the people getting fed up with the excuses on global economic downturn to explain the increasing living hardship, oil price increase that “affect” our country(even though we are net oil exporter), unfair treatment to opposition govern states, closing investigation to KBN figure on graft, sexual misconduct, embezzlement, turning judges into pigs and many more; TB knew that it is time to leave. TB left in what people call honourable exit, with so call glittering legacy that earn TB a “Negarawan” title. But personally I see it as a scumbag exit; coward, gutless, fake tears, full of sin, liar, traitor; when TB managed to pocket trillions ringgit of our county wealth into TB’s families and cronies. Then, leaving the country to TBITM with a penny to run and face the people’s wrath; TB smiles again.
TB also smiled when DSAI was released since KBN has no basis reason to hold DSAI any longer in Sungai Buloh prison. All the fabricated evidence that TB created since 1998 can no longer be a believable propaganda to be fed to the Malaysian ever learning-the-truth people. TB knows that sooner or later, DSAI need to be released from Sungai Buloh prison. If not for being innocent, then it is simply because DSAI “served” his time for the “crime” DSAI committed. And TB knows that the year that DSAI need to be released will be in 2004. To watch that from a distance in TB’s mansion while earning hundred thousand of ringgit from a few GLCs that TB sit in as “advisor” even after TB embezzled trillions of ringgit and let TBITM to face DSAI onslaught to overthrown KBN, TB smiles again.
Well people, I hope you know by now who am I referring to as TB, or shall I give you people more hints? If you do know who TB is, then good for you my dear Malaysian. For if you don’t, either you are too dumb or you must be one of KBN disillusion people. But I would say you are the latter because the latter is dumber.
Before I close my story tonight, I would like to say something to readers out there. If somehow there are people out there offended by my remark to TB, I would like to give my “sincere” apology for calling this “Negarawan” the smiling bastard. It is purely intentional on my part and I don’t really give a damn if you feel offended. On that remark, goodbye, goodnight to all Malaysian wherever you are.
