Yesterday, when I took a pot shot on a blog Dr M wrote on Sanusi Junid, I got a few shots back.
Knowing how this posts will be linked back to his blog, I will be ready for whatever comes after this posts.
The shot that I got was that I had a shallow thinking, I was ignorant, ill-manners, and many more shots which you can read it on the comments. When I stated how I have in my small self contributed to the nation, it was taken in comparison with the great man of Malaysia himself Dr M and for that I was also shot to kingdom come.
Yes, I took a pot shot at Dr M and the words I used was I would say very crude and rude. Thus, pot shots were taken back on me. Fair enough…
After much thought, I will in my personal capacity try to understand and maybe justify my actions if not the words I used.
Dr M is no doubt the one and only person who have shaped what Malaysia is today. I again do not doubt that and am grateful. Like what OmongWaras commented, ‘I wouldn’t even know of your pathetic existence if not for TDM’
Yes, if it wasn’t for Dr M we would not have internet, we would have cars, we would have big investors into Malaysia, we would not have jobs, we would not have a lot of things that we now enjoy. If it wasn’t for Dr M. I wouldn’t be blogging about it. Being a big contributor to our nation development he is also a big contributor to our nations woes.
Should I apologies for my previous post Muahaha… now he has tasted it..?
Maybe the choice of my words not proper for a great man such as Dr M. And to say that he has tasted his own piss would be a crime by public opinion. But are my thoughts and feeling correct to express that in such a manner?
If we are now citing for our current Prime Minister to step down and take responsibility for what happened to our nation, about Pak Lah not taking firm actions to guide our nation, and a lot of other things… especially his unkept promise to eradicate corruption. Is Pak Lah the only person that we are gunning for? Not that I am a supporter of Pak Lah, I really do want him to step down.
The point was we are saying that Pak Lah should be responsible for his actions or even his inaction because he is the current PM. So shouldn’t Dr M be responsible for his actions when he was PM?
His actions to ruling with an iron fist, no doubt have help him shape Malaysia to his vision. But his action or inaction to put things in check like cronism, corruption and injustice was also what he was or is famous for.
And when you put a man like Pak Lah who is not ruling with an iron fist, all that Dr M was famous for in terms of cronism, corruption and injustice has become so apparent. As people become more and more courageous, revelations like what recently Judge Ian Chin has disclose just discredit Dr M even more for the wrongs that he is famous for.
What happened to Sanusi Junid, is just one example of what happens when a person who he is align with is not in power. Dr M has created that culture. May it be in UMNO, MCA or MIC. If you don’t bow down to the one who is in power you face the consequences.
So yes, to put it politely he has tasted his own medicine when his good friend was asked to step down without any reason given because Sanusi Junid has been seen as aligning with Dr M.
My bad if the choice of words did not sound grateful for the things that Dr M has done and for that I would apologies. But I do not apologies for my thoughts on how Dr M the has induce a disease sorry… wrong words again… induce such negative culture within our nation.
I do not think that I am ignorant about the fact that corruption are still so rampant. Crimes are still so high. Justice that takes ages to seek. I so do not think that I am ill-mannered to be angry at what is happening now which Dr M has partly contributed to it. He could have stopped it. He could have done even more things good for the nation. So should not I be angry that he did not? He is a capable leader unfortunately time is not on his side.
Is Dr M in his blog trying to set things right?
By trying to seek Pak Lah to step down and put his personal choose Najib on the driving seat will he eradicate corruption, reduce crime and put the judicial system back in order? Will he? Would he?
If he is, he obviously have my support, because it will be good for the people. It’s like how I support Raja Petra who fights for what is good for the people.
Or is Dr M trying to stop Pak Lah from dismantling the legacy that he Dr M has created thus far?
I would like to see Dr M help us to stop the bleeding of our nation, corruption, high crime rates, and flawed judicial system are now bleeding our country of it’s resources and efficiency.
Is he trying to gain sympathy, by letting people know about what happened to his buddy Sanusi Junid? If he is, then the pot shot I took maybe justified, because I do not sympathize for him or his friend. Yes, call me a torturer if you will for taking a pot shot at the misfortune of Sanusi Junid.
But the question here is who in Malaysia is suffering? The hawker owner? The dispatch guy? The Ramli burger guy? The tuck shop around the corner? The small time vendors? The working class? The managers? You? Me? Dr M? Sanusi Junid?
Anyway, I will leave this as that and would appreciate readers if any to correct my thoughts.
Makes me think and wonder about his/hers comment to me…… Am I shallow thinking, low intellectual level, ignorance, ill-manners and have an inferior upbringing? Am I a torturer? Am I seeking fame by using Dr M’s blog for self interests?
So in many ways, I think I would like to blog on that few questions.
Am I shallow thinking, low intellectual level, ignorance, ill-manners and have an inferior upbringing?
What does one mean by shallow thinking?
Here are two sites for an deeper understanding
So being put through Malaysian education system, I believe I am a shallow thinker. The first article describes mostly what I had done when I was in Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan. Now the second article does describe characterize if I am a shallow thinker or a deep thinker. While I shall leave it to the mass to decide where I fall, I believe I fall on the fences.
1. I write about something without thinking of the effect that it will create especially on me pissing about Dr M. That makes me shallow…
2. I read so many articles, blogs, reports and news about what the Dr M best achievements and his worst achievements that I have grasps the understanding of how he feels when he wrote about the predicament his good friend has gone through.
3. I judge Dr M very generally. Like he was a pain in the ass at times and he is great at times. That makes me a shallow thinker because I don’t judge him in a more specific manner.
So two out of three, I am a shallow thinker…
Now comes ‘low intellectual level’ because of how I express my thoughts in just a few paragraphs that puts me in the low intellectual level. I do not have a degree in Politics. So does that mean I don’t have the right to comment about politics.
Ignorant, wikipedia defines that as ‘Ignorant, is the condition of being uninformed or uneducated, lacking knowledge or information’ Granted, I did not graduate in Malaysian Politics or Malaysian History or even ace in that subject, it makes me ignorant so I do not have the right to comment.
Next is ill-manners, granted I could have choose my words properly I was thinking about using the word dung just to make my blog sound bombastic, but I choose piss instead cause it sounded nice. Granted I ace my English in SPM but got a credit in my 1119 English… So I am ill manners because I choose to use a word that is frown upon.
Inferior upbringing…. hmmm…. If I am not mistaken the dictionary defines inferior as ‘low quality’ so it’s low quality of life. Wah… this one is debatable….
Am I a torturer?
Just wondering how can I be a torturer when there is no subject to torture? If it means that I am discrediting Dr M. Then yeah… you could say that I am a torturer… Being a sadist to use a language that I have been using since high school. That makes me unproper I guess. I did not have a chance to go to private school and be groom like what society might define ‘gentlemen’ Then yes, I guess I am a sadist that lives of other peoples misfortune. Which ultimately makes me a torturer
Am I seeking fame by using Dr M’s blog for self interests? As I have said before, I don’t really know how my blog can be picked up by Dr M’s blog… I only know how MK picks up blog like 30 mins ago. So how can I seek fame by using Dr M’s blog for self interests?? I don’t think when someone does a search or google Dr Mahatir, my sites is in top position or is it??
Shit man!! I am just so screwed…..
