The perpetrator is not quite the sociopath who possesses charm and spontaneity. It has none. It is not quite the sociopath that plans ahead its acts. It does not. The act upon the lass was borne of ignorance that the trail would result in a stripping thereof by a Machiavelli looming in the background; the one who commissioned the investigation not to be commissioned; the one who told the world about mademoiselle’s destruction; the one who abetted the nation its breathing space to impel agenda 709; the one who revealed the stones of Jacob while he slowly but surely breaks the legs of her demolisher; the one who regards a wound as an opportunity and two wounds as two opportunities; the one who will lead eventually the homeland like Niccolo said he will. Words - Tommy Peters Afterword: I had the pleasure this afternoon of meeting K. Arumugam, Chairman of Suaram, who with passion and pride sports the EO6 support-badge. Arumugam confirmed that Suaram's lawyer, William...

Moderating Comments @ Lim Kit Siang

Image
Preamble: The reason moderation is employed by any responsible blog master in Malaysia is that censorship and detention laws drill down to clamp the ‘oblivious’ poster about which the master in Uncle Lim is obviously concerned. Unpublished comments  between July 15th 2011 to July 31st 2011:- For the record, the following comment I made (uploaded Friday, July 22nd 2011)  was not published  in Clara Chooi's Scorpene post hosted  on the blog of Uncle Lim Kit Siang :-  "The perpetrator is not quite the sociopath that possesses charm and spontaneity. It has none. It is not quite the sociopath that plans ahead its acts. It does not. The act upon the lass was borne of ignorance that the trail would result in a stripping thereof by a Machiavelli looming in the background; the one who commissioned the investigation not to be commissioned; the one who told the world about mademoiselle’s destruction; the one who revealed the stones of Jacob as he slowly but surely ...

Breham Ambiga • A pincer move

Image
“If  the rally takes place my people and I will kill Ambiga and all those around her one by one including the idiot politicians who are in cahoots with this infidel. This is my warning. You watch out.” read the text on her cellphone two weeks ago but the former chair of the Bar Council is undeterred.  The faction that sponsored the threat must have considered that if Ambiga, a mother, was not particularly enraged at the compromised electoral rolls in 2007, she must be postal at the gruesome murder of a life-giving woman in 2006.  July is a wicked month for the faction. If Ambiga’s just concluded Bersih 2.0 was not a timing issue for the clique, then Breham’s tentative arrival in Kuala Lumpur late July to dredge up evidence in the Scorpene matter, may become one.  Breham Ambiga is now a euphemism for a progressive pincer move that would finally bring justice to the memory of Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa.  Words - Tommy Peters  (Adva...

Bersih 2.0 • In Pictures • AlJazeera

For its survival, the oppressor must open a page from Machiavelli that says "If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared."

Bersih 2.0 • I Don't Know How To Love Him • Sinead O'Connor

Image
In the ballad, the oppressor pleads to an integral part of his soul - his conscience - and cries out as he loses the capacity to nurture it. He learns a little too late that his conscience has the upper hand simply because it’s an elusive 'condition' rather than an oppressive 'force'.  Sinead represents the oppressor (in the Malaysian flag) as she interfaces with her conscience (in the Bersih icon). It’s July 9th 2011 and Kuala Lumpur is barricaded. The ride to Pudu from 7th mile Cheras detoured towards Pudu Ulu via Kampung Cheras Baru and from the back-roads of Shamelin Perkasa to Kampung Pandan and finally to Pudu via Pasar Road. The back-roads are serene and unguarded but the ride is rushed and uneasy. The security of multi-racial crowd is appealing and in alpha mode, multi-racial unity is truly an amazing feeling.

Juramentado and Civilian - in the Malaysian context

"Civilian will realize, just as the beguiled Arabs would in their vibrant 'arab renaissance' that juxtaposition of two conflicting traditions defines the discourse. Period. Everything else is commentary." In civil societies, Juramentados have absolute running rights. When they emerge, Civilian steps aside. He must. It underscores intelligence – much like ducking a random bullet - not because the fury of the retard is destructive but its tenure is brief. Without giving up soul, Civilian surrenders road, chattel and vocabulary, but as he withdraws from the theatre he offers the amok the ultimate insult. With a parting shot, he rightfully demonstrates no business let alone capacity to debate a 'runaway train' in the public domain. None, simply because his job description is to debate reason, commonsense and perhaps, points of law. Saturday, July 9th 2011 a Civilian coterie of Non-Governmental Organizations will assemble downtown Kuala Lu...

Mono vs Multi-ethnic - in the Malaysian context

Image
Transcript:-   The name's Fatboy, Tommy Fatboy. The writer, in his better judgment, asked me to read this commentary. Hopefully, he has terminated the services of the ugly brown voodoo character who rambled some of his notes recently.  The wing-nut, is an embarrassment. I know this character quite well. He is a loafer and a drunk, pretending to sound like an aristocrat. Now, would you trust a free-loader who walks around with a pitchfork on his back, or would you trust me?  The commentary compares the effectiveness of mono and multi-ethnic groups in a particular situation. You face a group with an agenda to replace the secular constitution with its religious doctrine and says it has divine sanction to do so. Which of two groups you reckon would be effective against the agenda. One who is distinctly mono-ethnic speaking the unpopular ‘race and culture’ linguistic or the group with the multi-ethnic, one human race vernacular, infused with elements of the group wit...
