Bad UMNO/BN Economics Bankrupt the Country says Musa Hitam

UMNO supporters and bloggers will go to town asking for the lynching of Tun Musa Hitam. Tun Musa Hitam was speaking out against the knee-jerking responses of BN and UMNO leaders who accuse Pakatan leaders of planning to bankrupt the country.

When Pakatan says we want to give free education- this will bankrupt the country. When we want to reduce subsidies, this will bankrupt the country. When we want to reduce petroleum price, this will bankrupt the country. As Tun Musa said, all these statements are political statements.

Political statements are therefore what?  Musa appears to suggest that political statements are in the beginning untrue statements until proven to be true. Meaning what? Those who make political statements like the people from UMNO and BN are to be taken as liars until proven to be truthful persons.

Najib is a liar. Muhyidin is a liar. Mahathir is the biggest liar.

By saying that, Tun Musa places himself on the opposite side of Mahathir, Najib and all the UMNO/BN.  Musa Hitam isn’t a man unfamiliar with and afraid of controversy. He already knew, having gone through personal experience, that Mahathir and those who share Mahathir’s method of economics, will ruin this country.

In my previous article, I have written about this peculiar behavioural aspect of UMNO politicians and their intellectual counterparts in disbelieving that others are as capable or can be better at managing the country. Hence, the attitude- only we the good people can do the greater good for this country- Pakatan people will do evil and hence will bankrupt this country. Hence also, we see Najib going helter-skelter saying the budget proposed by Pakatan is not worth the paper it’s printed on.

In my previous article, I mentioned Chandra Muzaffar never with the intention of elevating him to a status which he does not deserve. On the contrary, I mentioned him in the sense that he represents the thinkers and professed liberals who support libertarian thinking and therefore think themselves as progressives. But then he represents these misguided do-gooders who think, that liberal objectives can be realized by way of collectivist and concentration of power. Chandra Muzafafr must realize you can’t get quality output by feeding in garbage input.

In that sense, Muzaffar is in the same category as commissar Mahathir- both proponents of totalitarian and absolute discretionary power.

It is not hard really to reconcile the contradicting nature of people in UMNO and people represented by Chandra Muzaffar. To think only of themselves as being the ONLY people capable of doing good or  unable to bring themselves to accept that they can do wrong, require only self praises and pat on the backs that are easy to do and self-satisfying at the same time.

We will let Mahathir, Najib and UMNO drown in their self-praising drool.
