Of crossroads.... then and now

May 2018 is surely a turning point to Malaysians. The changeover of new government has forced many to rethink, regroup and to map out their next course of actions. Me? Being a non-political animal like those in power, be it past or present, draws a new question - should I continue or should I fade out from giving my piece...


Honestly, the turn of events in post GE-14 has been a roller coaster ride. Some, like my lady friend hit jackpot when she choose the "right team" and now I welcome her in her new challenges, not as a politician or political aide but more on how to reject advances from "political friends". Another is not as fortunate when he is served termination notice because he rides the "wrong horse" during the campaign.

There is this grand talk of "New Malaysia" and everybody wants to be on the bandwagon. Is it really? What I see and notice, either in blogs, twitters or whatsapp group is the emerging of new group who thinks and probably demand that the Government of the day must be overboard and transparent in all manners. That, my friends, are easier said than done. The problem is, there are these groups who thinks and demands they be told of everything to such an extent there is no secrecy and privacy at all.

Take the case of the abdication of DYMM Agung. There are those who loves pasting photos of the Russian beauty, is that suitable? You may argue that the rakyat has the right to know who is the incoming person in DYMM's life. But none choose to seek clarification nor does the palace issue any statement. That said, these rakyats who loves the "juicy" part of the story are partly to be blamed as if they do not has skeletons in their own wardrobe. Not only that, the advance of technology failed to comprehend what happens before and after may not be related. Yes, she may be what she was before but is she really the same person when she choose to convert? Even that, I do not want to know whether she is really married to the guy from Kelantan. Let's wait for their official announcement.

On the same subject, how many of the rakyats understand the health issues pertaining to DYMM Agung? I would rather choose to take that story and take it that DYMM YDP Agung makes the sacrifice for the benefit of rakyat, sparing us the agony of watching DYMM YDP Agung suffers.

Another favourite is the Q - will Anwar be the next PM or will he not? Again, there are so many who loves to weave tales of backstabbing and what not. To me, let Tun M has his 2 years before starting to say this and that. Azmin trying to topple Anwar? What else is new? As I believe from the beginning, PKR is the weak link in Pakatan Harapan. They may have the biggest numbers in parliament but clearly their parliamentary whip fails in controlling them. When I say control, it does mean changing them into "yes men" but they must have a certain values and code of conducts.

Regardless of what you belive, I hold fast that Anwar should not appoint Rafizi as the VP. Anwar can place Rafizi in other post suitable for him but when Anwar choose to appoint Rafizi as the VP, Anwar is not being inclusive but more of being "exclusive" in actually "pointing out" that he wants Rafizi to be in his team. Anwar, being Anwar plays a dangerous political game within his own party.

What about the live parliemantary debate? I see those who still loves going back to history when we should use the debate time for better use. This, Pakatan Harapan and BN should do better.

Having said that, as I say in the beginning this is a crossroad. If before, I have the pleasure of knowing Zorro, Harris, Art... now they left us or move to "greener" pasture. I see that there should be a place for fair observation and after months of silence.... it is time for the Nightcaller to be activated to active duty... and that I will do, without fear and favour.

Till then...G'nite M'sia...wherever u are...
