Parti Family's Double-Quick Death March

 OSTB: Someone sent this to me. 

Written by M--ar D-as.
So I have quite liberally re-adapted it.

The yellow highlights are fancy pieces of prose by M--ar D-as.

Cast of the famous 1971 American sit-com 'All In The Family'

with Archie Bunker and his wife Edith.

A Party for Rent?
'Parti Family's Double-Quick Death March'

• If Malaysian politics were a sitcom, 
• Parti Family would now be in its final season 
• — plot holes everywhere, 
• a cast losing interest,  
• and ratings so low even the sponsors are pretending they’ve lost the email.

The once firebrand Parti Family is reduced to squabbling over who gets to drive the hearse.   OSTB : Ouch!

Out of 30,000 eligibles, Puteri Di-Tendang scraped just under 10,000 votes. Mr Formula claims he bagged 3,866.

• The rest of the party couldn’t be bothered. 
• If apathy were a political party, it would overtake Parti Family by now.

Congratulations, Puteri Di-Tendang — you’ve won the job of leading Parti Famili into four unwinnable contests.

• *S_bah* where the party has two lonely seats out of 73; 
• *M_laka* where Parti Family is about as present as manners on Twitter; 
• *J*hor* where one solitary seat marks its existence like a pimple; and of course, 
• *GE 2027* Good luck — you’ll need it along with a good bomoh.

Rumours are swirling that Kameleon is toying with leaving the party altogether.

Yes, *the man who is the Party might decide to move on* — loyalty in Malaysian politics is like a low-cost airline's free baggage allowance.    

OSTB: Despite the fellow being the raison d'être for setting up the party in the first place? Sad. Very sad indeed.  All the Chinese and Indians in the party, you are not part of 'All in the Family'. 

Murray Hunter, that astute analyst, usually makes accurate calls that catch most politicians too late.  And not just him — the kopitiam political pundits too.

Malaysian politics thrives on speculation. It's the national sport after badminton and queue-jumping at Ramadan bazaars.   OSTB: Queue jumping at Ramadan Bazaar? :))

But *too many signs are pointing in one direction.*

• Which brings us to DNAA man. 
• Here’s a humble suggestion: *Vacate the Um-o presidency. 
• Make way for Kameleon.  
• Together, make peace with Bersatu and PAS, 
• forging a grand Malay-Muslim coalition.*

OSTB : Jeepers Creepers. What a suggestion?

 
*D@P? Dump them* like relatives who show up without an ang pow at a Chinese wedding dinner.

• Even *Puteri Di-Tendang, can’t save Parti Family now.  
• The brand is tired. 
• The base is exhausted. 
• The electorate has moved on.

The 2027 general election risks being a farewell tour for Parti Family where *most of its MPs will be lucky to hold on to their deposits.*

Kameleon may have to retreat to his ancestral fortress in Putaran Jauh just to stay in Parliament.

DNAA man, your move. *Give Kameleon the party, save yourselves, and let Parti Family fade into history. Remembered as a party that once fought for justice, before it started fighting over chairs.

*Puteri Di Tendang should consider hosting a cooking show.*
Politics is brutal, but nobody ever gets voted out of a good laksa recipe.

OSTB : Ouch!

 

My Conclusion: This is a very short and nasty piece of knife throwing by M--ar D-as. It stabs right into the heart of the beast. And the observations are correct. 2022 was their 'Last Hurrah'. After this they are going to lose their deposits. Just like what happened to Dr Mahathir. It is indeed their Double-Quick Death March.
