When it is better to trust a pariah dog


If you are thinking of voting the Barisan Nasional this time around let me give you a piece of  advice and believe me it is better then all the advice you have ever received in your entire lifetime if you are a Malaysian. This advice comes sincerely from the heart and it is said with no malice as it is the truth.The advice is:

"It is better to trust the pariah dog roaming your neighbourhood than to trust Barisan Nasional."

 

If there is none,  no pariah dog go adopt one from another neighbourhood, and if you still can't find one call the RSPCA they have many, put that misplaced trust you have on the BN on that creature and you will be better off.

If you read yesterday's Sun, and if you read citizen Nades in the Sun you'll notice that the Port Klang scandal is slowly and surely fading away, the BN knows that with time Malaysians will forget and forget so much that they may still opt to vote for the BN.

Why? Hasn't that been the case since day one, since our independence?

Not to mention names but if you have read your history books carefully, (wonder if it is recorded in history) one senior  minister of the BN government in the sixties, (then called the Alliance government) had the had the audacity to sue  DR Seenivasagam the prominent Ipoh lawyer and member of Parliament and President of the PPP a prominent opposition party in those days.



DR as he was fondly known made  allegations of corruption against that minister  in Parliament and he - the minister challenged  DR to repeat his allegations outside Parliament, so that he could sue DR.


This was sometime in 1964, I was in form 3,  I can still remember the year. DR took up the challenge and was duly sued by that minister.

DR was defended by his brother SP Seenivasagam himself an opposition Member of Parliament and they won the case and the minister lost his job and his appeal too. The minister by his own actions exposed his corrupt deeds.                                                                                      

One feature that stood out was the minister lost his job,  the Tengku was a noble man and he would not have the minister, although the Tengku described him as a great friend and was sad to have lost such a close confidante.

Principles were principles then, and everyone was open to scrutiny. If the Altantuya case happened then I fear to imagine what would have happened to those involved.


A very notable feature of the case  was that SP was the defending lawyer and was assisted by a young lawyer named NH Chan, who would l later become a notable member of our Judiciary.

So corruption did not begin just a few days ago, it was rife in this UMNO led government for many years.

In 1967 the government appointed a Magistrate  by the name of Harun Hashim as the first director of the Anti Corruption agency realising that corrupt practices began creeping into government.

Till today Harun Hashim in his short tenure of the ACA is recognised as the most efficient and most effective and most honoured man to head Malaysia's anti corruption bureau.In fact I dare say he was the only credible person we had who headed the ACA, today known as the  MACC and what a tainted reputation it has gained.

He was removed and promoted to become a judge because under his directorship of the the ACA he instilled fear in the minds of the corrupt.

Position and rank was of no concern to Harun Hashim  and he was the type who went for the big fish first. The confidence of the Public in his PO Box 6000, which was a post t box you coudl write to report corrupt practices without having to reveal your name and even if you went to the ACA to make a report your identity was kept secret and that was sacred.

At the rate Harun Hashim  was going it is said that the UMNO government got frightened because it woudl only be a matter of time before all of them would  have been roped in so he was removed and promoted to a Judge.

After his departure the ACA was not the same anymore, and I am sure there are many Malaysians who would  agree with me on that score

Later on in one more corruption trial - the Harun Idris case, (Note Harun Idris not to be mistaken for Harun Hashim)  it was revealed that Tun Razak himself was aware of  the monies received by Harun Idris from HSBC, the money was supposedly for UMNO itself it was to be used to fund UMNO.

Harun Idris was picked for prosecution because Razak's own tenure as President of UMNO and as the PM of the country was in jeopardy  as Harun commanded so much of grass root support at the time. In fact it is reported that Razak even offere Harun a diplomatic posting and if he accepted it there would be no charges against Harun, but Harun knowing how popular he was with the grassroots refused to budge.

Since independence UMNO was built on corrupt funds sourced one way or another, UMNO itself was and is till today a passport for corruption for  many of the corrupt, we have seen how it has happened and how it has gone unchecked because of the power that UMNO wields.

Imagine Rosmah a director of an unknown company that were the consultants to the Minsitry of defence in the purchase of the Scorpene submarines, at the time when Najib was defence Minister and the main person involved in the purchase of those ships, and just in case you have not noticed Najib is from UMNO too.

Look at the car Nazri's son drives, his own car he has bodyguards how did Nazri or for that matter his son come to so much of money, did it fall from the sky?

Imagine the allegation of the PM's son manipulating the stock market, to do that he has to own considerable shares in the counter he tried to manipulate, where did he get the money to purchase those shares? Did it fall from heaven? or was it that Rosmah worked so hard all these years and saved it to give it to him to buy those shares?

Then there was the BBMB, it was during the tenure of Mahahtir bin Mohammed, and we all know that he was terribly uncomfortable with that case. Was he in any way involved?

There is MAS and Mahahtir has said so much about it, there is Port Klang and Mahathir has  been rather silent about it, but when it happened beyond the time he was PM he woudl stand on a rostrum and accuse everybody.

What happened is that this culture has taken root, it is so terribly woven in the fabric of UMNO you'll have to burn and destroy the entire cloth, and in this case that cloth is UMNO, it has to be destroyed to save the nation.

Destroy UMNO and,  the rest of the Barisan Parties will die a natural death, for the good of the nation that is the only option opened to all Malaysian if you truly care about the country.

Like I said earlier it is better to trust a pariah dog than support the BN.

 Undi lah PKR.
