If Mukhriz Returns II: The Old Warlords Will Be Coming Or Going?

Things may get ugly before they get better...well, maybe not for anwar. It got pretty for him when he came close to snatch the premiership of Malaysia from the incompetent pak lah back in 2008. Since then it went seriously downhill for him, what with the sodomy trial and currently being sodomized by the expose by WikiLeaks and serious butt-stabbing from certain  members in the Singaporean government. I guess he'll be the butt of the jokes passing around in coffee shops and watering holes accross the nation for the next few months. Well Anwar, told you not to offend the hand that's been feeding you.

Kedah on the other hand, might witness a flurry of acrid comments and cynical snides with the heavy rumours on the return of Datuk Mukhriz to the Kedah UMNO leadership. On the grassroot and normal folks's side, they seem to be happy with what they heard, and most of them are wishing that it is FINALLY true. How many times have they heard this? None has materialized so far, so, hopefully this time, it will bear a true fruit.

Salvos have been fired from certain quarters of UMNO since that day. Certain comments were made questioning on the experience of Datuk Mukhriz himself. "He's too young", "He doesn't stay in Kedah", "He's very inexperienced" However, we did manage to smell the stench of old UMNO warlords, and methinks I saw them running in the shadows behind the unsavoury comments. These useless old warlords should be made to understand that they shouldn't rage to the dying of the lights in their careers, that is what the people want; just accept it.

We do understand that it is not cheap for these old warlords to lobby themselves for the Ketua Perhubungan Negeri for UMNO Kedah, having to spend on so many things such as bloggers, PR events and so on to boost their image. But performance and results should have been made their primary concern. Yes, I agree that the UMNO leaders did very well to contain the situation during the 2010 flood, but we're talking about the overall. Why didn't we hear anybody (including the mysteriously disappearing Pas state assemblymen) stand up for the people for the failure of the state government during the floods in the state assembly? In fact, whatever happened to the Kedah UMNO since losing the state in 2008? They seem to go into shock and never recover from it. They do stand out in activities that wreak disunity, such as fighting over the nefarious KJ, Khir Toyo and Mukhriz during the race for the Ketua Pemuda UMNO, where everybody saw Mukhriz almost discriminated by Kedah UMNO bigwigs during his campaign.

But we also know that some old warlords are quite sure of themselves. One or two of them, we knolw are quite cocksure and very confident that this feathered duck upstart named Mukhriz can be rid of. Why not? Hey, if those two can eliminate his dad from winning a delegation seat in Kubang Pasu, why not his son? Quite a pity, one of the two, I knew his dad, a very accomodating former Customs and Immigration officer. Too bad his son, who landed in several deputy minister portfolios (still is) is also eyeing the top Kedah seat, both in UMNO and state, and seems to be hell-bent in doing so.

To Kedah UMNO, the only salvo we can fire on them is what many Kedahans have accepted: they have Dared To Change. Only Kedah UMNO seems to be lagging in their mentality. Always forever stuck in their "that's my seat, don't you dare." They forgot about what the people want. These old wardogs, if they are not even be able to dare themselves to change, just put them to sleep. Not that Kedah developed much since the past 6 years or so. The major shift in Kedah's development was under Syed Nahar Shahabudin's MB-ship. He set up the master-plan, executed it and left, and Kedah grew ever since. Of course, his successors couldn't steer as well as he did. The last UMNO MB for Kedah was a total washout, and the present one is actually fast becoming a burden to the people and to Pas themselves. Of course, to have mahfuz as MB might be an insult to Kedahans' intelligence.

It is strange that the old Kedah UMNO warlords claim that the UMNO leaders should follow and respect the wants and wishes of Kedahans, but they themselves never did, and from the way it is going, they never will. If they were to actually follow what people want, they would've resigned.

The rumours on the return of Mukhriz have generated interest and excitement that can be heard from one place to another and the changes it might be bringing. As for the old useless UMNO warlords, at this moment, nobody knows whether they're coming or going.

Voices Up North : Whispers In The Wind

Well, those pakatan twerps are still doing the work of 3 people: Larry, Curly and Moe. They were seen a few days ago placing banners of themselves on the road to parliament, in protest of an UMNO banner which was

placed somewhere there as well. It's nice to see the Malays of pas and pkr hanging up the posters and banners of dap and pas, while the Chinese and Indians also hanging up the dap materials. It's amusing to see the Chinese and Indian pakatan members not even touching pas posters and banners, not even with a 10 foot stick. I am still wondering why. Maybe that's why they still worship Anwar's 1-All-Seeing-Eye.

Anyway, let's leave the red monkeys flying banners and posters up their respective... ummm... wherever they want to stick it and return up north. Since last year, there were whispers of a new Ketua Perhubungan Negeri for UMNO Kedah to replace the present Shafiee Afdal. But all of the rumors seem to die down after time. Every few months, you'll hear this again and again, and the UMNO warlords had to go all out to put out this fire. Alas, nowadays, the whispers are not whispering anymore, it's getting louder. And the wind carrying the whispers seem to blow faster and faster and you can almost smell the whiff of fear permeating in the air, mostly coming from the camps of the old UMNO warlords.

At this moment, nobody can attest to the authencity of this new Ketua Perhubungan Negeri. Even at that, in so many places, one name has been cropping up, and that will be Mukhriz Mahathir. I wouldn't be scratching my head if Jerlun and/or Kubang Pasu talks of him, but to have areas such as Baling, Sungai Petani and even Jerai? Now that's a name that spells change for Kedah and the state UMNO.

If it is true, if Mukhriz is the UMNO Kedah's Ketua Perhubungan Negeri, then finally the grassroots, instead of their state leaders, will finally get what they have always wanted, and that's maybe the first time since pak lah. Some people did declare that they did wish Najib would listen to the grassroots instead of the Ketua Cawangan or Bahagian. If this happens, maybe he did. And if he did, it's about time. Kedahans are sick and tired of the dundering blockheads...no, not mahfuz, that have been running the state from one disaster to another, to which the water problem sees no solution. It doesn't matter what pas supporters say because, all their defenses will still give no water to those affected areas. And of course, we are also sick to the stomach with old umno humpty dumptys (the warlords), who are scrambling to get positions for themselves, and most of Najib's men could never put all these humpty dumptys together again.

It must also be said that it will not be an easy road for Mukhriz if the rumors are right. He will have to work hard to establish his own footing, away from the shadows of his father in Kedah. Support from grassroots might not be much of a problem but he still needs to prove his worth. To achieve all of these might prove to be a road full of treachery for him, as we have seen what happened to his father in Kubang Pasu in the nomination to be a delegate last time. Most treacheries might be from within the state, and there might be one or two from somewhere in-between the country's capital and it's southern neighbor. Mukhriz might also find that the son of his father's closest neighbor in Kedah to be such a noisy fly. Well, it will be more noisy with the MB's chair up for grabs in a few years.

The hesitant icon of Kedah shall return? Will we see drastic measures of change sweeping up UMNO Kedah? It is about time those useless UMNO warlords find the exits waiting for them. While waiting for this, I'll just brush up on this nice 70s song by a group called Steam called Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye...


Ok, altogether now, "nanana, nanana, hey hey hey goodbye..."

And once we're done, let's recap at Kedah Sejahtera (?)

Apanama-namewee : Sliding Down The Razor's Side...

I've been away, and it seems more and more meaty issues propping up here and about.One of the amazing things I read while away was on this kid, Wee Meng Chee, who created a stir when he in a way provoked racism and anger by his video.

Among the noise, the suprising choice will be Azizan, the MB of Kedah. He accused the Malaysian government of being too lenient in this matter and should act swiftly as this is the second time the lowly-rated rapper wannabe has landed himself in hot water.

The first was his Negaraku parody which was finally resolved with the aid of Chua Soi Lek. Not that I disagree totally with the message, but provocations are quite disturbing for many. He could at least offer some solutions too, but he's too rude at that as well, and mostly (I think this is a must), get thee to a vocal/singing school.

Why am I surprised with Azizan? Ok, so wasn't really surprised. Here's an old man who sits in the Kedah MB's chair...well, he dozes off most of the time, but concious enough to realize the tactics of anarchists such RPK and even Namewee in inciting tension between religion and races. Of course, that rebel yell might cost him a lot as Pakatan has resolved in their meeting that Namewee is to be defended at all cost. Unsurprising as Pakatan always needed anarchists.It is still unknown what Azizan's fate will be, but I'm sure pakatan might just arrange some scandals or two just to see him off.

Azizan's statement might just be the tonic that the Pas/PKR factions needed. We understand that so far there are 3 factions who would like to kick Azizan out and rest their own asses on the MB's chair. With Azizan's statement slamming the very person they're supposed to defend, well, they might just sit down and wait until pakatan hand them the position on a silver platter.

Azizan not toeing the lines set by Pakatan is not something new:

1) In 2008, after winning the election, the hardcore pas supporters from the east coast went on a rampage tearing down Kemas buildings, but was stopped and criticized by Azizan, which eventualy angered one half of the hardliners.

2) Also in 2008, when Hadi stated that all states under Pas MUST implement Hudud (yes, the one he never implemented while governing Terengganu) but Azizan defied Hadi as well. This riled the 2nd faction of the hardliners.

3) His hatred for Anwar Ibrahim has always been well-known, and he has always been quoted as saying, "Tengok muka pun tak lalu." about Anwar Ibrahim.

4) Despite his earlier views on Tun Mahathir, everything changed when he went too meet Tun himself after becoming the Menteri Besar Kedah. He admitted the kindness and honesty, and the hospitable nature of Tun upon returning.

5) Unlike PKR who were promised large sums of resources, Azizan admitted that the state has no money (which brings into question what happened to the balak money?) and could not give much to constituents, dissatisfying the Pas/PKR factions.

Those are just a few, most of the factions involved are usually labelling Azizan as another UMNO politician. Even that's not much of an impossibilities because, according to his relatives Azizan is the only sibling who went into Pas, and even that as a non-conformist as he's always on the fence.

I don't know what fate belies Azizan but I sincerely thank you for standing up to the knock-kneed joints of a certain minister who seems to be very slow at taking action but very swift in apologizing (such as for being a Malay who kisses a keris). Somebody needs to do that.

Now that I've mentioned that, where in the world are the old warlords of UMNO Kedah? Sleeping, or just gutless? An old non-conformist pas leader spoke out against an element of racial tension, and those who profess about defending their religion and ethnicity are currently too busy to say anything.

I would like to suggest to these Pinkus Floydus (a living dinosaur that has gone past its time) to relinquish their seats and positions. Even if you don't, why can't you just protect the people you're supposed to, in stead of defending your seats and position? Shame on all of you.

Paging for Det Khalid, Tajul Urus, Ali Yahya, Ajeez Rahim, Rozai, Bashah, Mat Lebai Sudin, Jo Pak Om, Tajudin Kentucky, Suhaimi Jerai and Rahman Padang Serai, PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE WHEN THE JESTER STEPPED DOWN LAST YEAR!!! By the way, you might realize by now that your balls are missing. At a time when the Muslim and the Malays are being endangered, you had to be cowards...

Un occhio scende su tutti
