Allow me to gloat today

 

To force Nurul Izzah to abandon Lembah Pantai and go contest another seat, Raja Nong Chik is blackmailing her. He is threatening to expose photographs and videos of Nurul Izzah’s ‘sexual misconduct’. And Nurul Izzah’s ‘sex partner’ is supposed to be Tian Chua. Sheesh! Tian Chua? What an ugly bugger. If you want to fix up Nurul Izzah at least choose a better-looking man lah! What, you think Nurul Izzah got such bad taste or what?

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER

Raja Petra Kamarudin

I am not sure if I am the only Malaysian Blogger who gets whacked by both sides of the political divide. This morning I noticed one Blog, which is neither pro-government nor pro-opposition, that whacked me regarding the Bursa Malaysia revelation I ran a couple of weeks ago.

So now it appears even the middle ground, atas pagar or fence sitters are whacking me as well. That is an added honour. Now even the ‘third force’ is whacking me, for sure something no other Malaysian Blogger has ever been honoured with in the entire history of Blogging.

But have you noticed one thing? The so-called whacking they give me is merely to call me a lair. They do not rebut my story. They only whack ME, a personal attack. I normally write three to five pages, sometimes even seven pages, running into thousands of words. If you compile all the articles I have written over the last four years alone since 2008, it can fill a book of 600-700 pages easily.

And what do they do with the tons of information that I generate? They totally ignore what I have written and just scream, “Liar! Liar! Liar!”

I remember back in the early days of Malaysia Today when I wrote that I would consider myself as having ‘arrived’ when everyone in Malaysia hates me. To get one side to hate you and the other side to love you is easy. To get both sides to hate you is not that easy. And now I have the middle ground hating me as well.

Man! Have I more than arrived! So allow me to gloat today. Finally, I have arrived, even beyond what I thought was possible.

Hey, we are talking about Malaysia. In Malaysia, we have something called Malaysia Boleh. The concept ofMalaysia Boleh is that ‘anything can’ in Malaysia mah! What others can’t do, Malaysia can do one. That isMalaysia Boleh.

Under the concept of Malaysia Boleh, when one is accused of something, the accused is considered guilty and hence that person must prove his or her innocence. That is how things are done in Malaysia Boleh.

Let me repeat that for the birdbrains reading this. Under the concept of Malaysia Boleh, you are considered guilty and you must prove you are innocent if you are accused of something.

Now, I did not make these rules. His Majesty’s Government of Malaysia has laid down these rules. And these are the rules that are being applied since the last few decades.

Do you remember Anwar Ibrahim’s trial 14 years ago in 1998? Anwar was found guilty and sentenced to a total of 15 years jail (and served 6 years before he was released) because he failed to prove his innocence.

Yes, that’s right. The judge said that since Anwar failed to prove his innocence he thus finds Anwar guilty and sentenced him to jail.

I too was detained without trial on two occasions. And why did they detain me without trial instead of charging me in court? Because, according to the government, they do no have enough evidence to charge me so they need to detain me without trial.

Okay, what happens when you are sent to the Kamunting Detention Centre?  Well, then you are brought before the Lembaga, which acts as a sort of tribunal, and then you need to prove to the Lembaga that you should not have been detained and should instead be set free.

The Ministry of Home Affairs, which will also appear in the Lembaga hearing as the sort of ‘Prosecution’, will argue that you cannot be set free because “the government believes you are a threat to national security”.

The government merely believes you are a threat to national security. Yes, BELIEVES, that is all.

Some people believe that God exists. Some people believe that Satan exists. Some people believe that praying to trees and rocks will guarantee you heaven. Some people believe if you blow yourself up with dynamite and scream ‘Allah Akbar’ as you die you will be rewarded with 72 virgins. Some people believe if you put your tooth under your pillow you will receive money. Some people believe if you eat a certain Arabian desert lizard you will become sexually very strong and can go three rounds a night, seven nights a week.

Just because you believe this does not make it true. Most times none of these beliefs can be proven. But that is all the government needs to do to detain you without trial, a mere belief. And then you need to prove that you are NOT a threat to national security. You need to prove your innocence.

That is Malaysia Boleh. That is the way the game is played in Malaysia.

So I too make an allegation, in fact, many allegations. And how do they respond? They don’t rebut what I say. They do not address the allegation. They do not tell their side of the story to counter what I say. They just scream, “Liar! Liar! Liar!”

Come on! Counter what I say. If what I said is wrong then tell us what the truth is. Don’t just scream, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Which part of that article is a lie? Point it out. A blanket “Liar! Liar! Liar!” is not good enough. Which part is the lie? Tell us.

Hey, Anwar Ibrahim was sentenced to jail terms of 15 years because he failed to prove his innocence. So prove your innocence. Don’t just scream, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Where is that lie in my article? Show us!

When I revealed that the Honorary Mongolian Consul to Malaysia, Syed Abdul Rahman Alhabshi, personally told me that he has evidence very damaging to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, Syed Rahman screamed “Liar! Liar! Liar!”

Which part is the lie -- the part about that he had met me, or the part about what he had personally told me? Which part is the lie? Tell us! He did not meet me alone. When he met me there were many other people around. And all these people also heard what he told me.

Syed Rahman never denied meeting me. He never denied what he told me. He never denied that there were many other people there that day. He just screamed, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Which part is the lie?

I wrote a story about the problems in the Attorney-General’s Chambers. I related the story regarding the conflict between Solicitor-General II Datuk Yusof Zainal Abiden and Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Ghani Patail. The AG wanted to fix me up on fabricated charges while his boys did not agree.

And the response? Again, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Then what happens? Today, Yusof Zainal Abiden is representing Anwar Ibrahim as one of his lawyers. So, am I still lying? Or has my ‘lie’ now been proven true?

A few years back, I wrote about the links between IGP Musa Hassan and the Chinese underworld and crime syndicate. Again, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Then what happens? A few senior police officers have now come out into the open to confirm the allegation and some have even joined the Opposition.

So, is it still a lie?

I wrote about the RM8 billion MAS scandal and how Tajuddin Ramli was instructed to do the deal to cover the RM30-billion foreign exchange fiasco of the mid-1990s.

And the response? Again, “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Then what happens? Today, Affidavits are being filed in court that confirms what I had written. So which part is the lie then? Thus far it appears like what I said is being confirmed in court. So which part is the lie? Tell us!

Man, I can go on and on. I can give you tons of examples where my so-called ‘lies’ eventually get confirmed as the truth. Do you really need me to go on or can I stop here and take some time to gloat?

I do not care how history remembers me as long as I am remembered as the person whose ‘lies’ all get proven as the truth in the end. I just want to be remembered for that and for nothing else. Put this on my epitaph when I die: ‘The liar who told the truth’.

The Opposition is no less guilty of this crime. It is not only those in the government who scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” when an allegation is made against them. Don’t lah just scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Point out which part of the allegation is the lie. Even the Opposition likes to just deny, deny, deny without telling us where the so-called lie is. Both sides are the same.

Never mind. Today they deny. Today they scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Tomorrow, the so-called lie is proven true. It happens every time without fail. I can afford to wait because I know that in the end what I say gets proven as fact. They can’t run away from that. The truth always prevails in the end. And then I can gloat and say, “I told you so!”

As I said, allow me to gloat. I have earned the right to gloat. What I say is always proven true in the end. So scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” all you want. Today’s ‘lies’ are going to be tomorrow’s fact. Trust me on this.

Okay, today let me make another allegation. Yes, today you are again going to scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Tomorrow, this ‘lie’ is going to be proven. Trust me. I will eat my beret if I am wrong.

Raja Nong Chik Zainal Abidin wants to contest the Parliament seat of Lembah Pantai. However, he is worried that the incumbent, Nurul Izzah Anwar, is going to beat him flat. So he does not want to face Nurul Izzah. He wants Nurul Izzah to back off and contest another seat.

To force Nurul Izzah to abandon Lembah Pantai and go contest another seat, Raja Nong Chik is blackmailing her. He is threatening to expose photographs and videos of Nurul Izzah’s ‘sexual misconduct’. And Nurul Izzah’s ‘sex partner’ is supposed to be Tian Chua.

Sheesh! Tian Chua? What an ugly bugger. If you want to fix up Nurul Izzah at least choose a better-looking man lah! What, you think Nurul Izzah got such bad taste or what?

I was with Nurul Izzah in Canberra, Australia, to meet the Australian Members of Parliament. Her husband and my wife were in another city at that time. At least if you allege that Raja Petra Kamarudin is Nurul Izzah’s sex partner it is more believable. I am better looking than Tian Chua by far, even if I do say so myself.

Then you can spin the story that this is why RPK and Anwar Ibrahim have had a falling out -- it is related to the Nurul Izzah and Raja Petra sex scandal.

Aiyoh! These Umno buggers! Want to spin but don’t know how to spin. And when we expose them they only know how to scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” They are not able to rebut what we say.

Okay, let’s see those photos and videos that Raja Nong Chik has threatened to expose if Nurul Izzah does not abandon Lembah Pantai. I can assure you of one thing. If they come out with Nurul Izzah’s ‘sex’ photos and videos, Raja Nong Chik is not only going to lose the election but he is going to lose his deposit as well. Try and see what will happen.

Kalau kata ‘Melayu bodoh’ marah. If not Melayu bodoh then Melayu what? Melayu pandai? Hah, Melayu bodoh macam lembu! Just know how to scream “Liar! Liar! Liar!” Lain tak tahu. Pergi mampus lah. Semua bodoh macam lembu. Buat malu Raja je. Raja apa macam ni?
