Live by the sword, die by the sword (with Mandarin translation)
These two PKR men are now missing. They have been missing since the last four days and no one knows where they are. But they are not really missing as such. They are safely in the hands of Umno. And Umno wants them to agree to a deal.
THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Buy them, or kill them! That is the theme for the Year of the Ox. And that is the theme Umno lives by. And if you live by the sword, so will it be that way you die, by the sword. Make no bones about it. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.
I remember the story told to me 20 years ago by an Umno stalwart. A certain one-time Menteri Besar of a certain state was on his deathbed. Friends and relatives read his last rites by his bedside, basically reading the Surah Yassin for he who is about to die.
But he would not die. He lingered on and on, not wanting to die and yet barely alive. His mouth would move when spoon-fed with soup. Yes, he who lived a life of makan suap (corruption) was being makan suap (spoon-fed) the last days of his life here on earth.
It soon became very tiring. Here was a man supposed to die whom they were reading his last rites. But he would not go away. He stayed on, neither alive nor dead. How to make him leave?
They called in a religious man, a man most respected by the Muslim community. The religious man told the family to open the safe and take out some of the millions stashed away in it. This was no time for discussion or debate. They did as they were told.
The religious man took out handfuls of cash from the safe and stuffed them into a pillowcase. The pillowcase, now full and bursting at its seams, was handed to the man who would not die, the man lying on his deathbed the last one week, he who was once the all-powerful and most corrupted Menteri Besar of this extremely rich state, the frail and very sick man who was not alive yet would not die.
The once very powerful and extremely rich man hugged his pillowcase stuffed with money, broke into a smile, gave a deep sigh, and closed his eyes and breathed his last breath. He was now gone from this world and entered the next.
Yes, this one-time Menteri Besar lived for money. He would only die with his money gripped tightly in his arms. He lived by the sword. He died by the sword. Money was his ‘God’. From money he came, to money he returned. Not dust to dust and ashes to ashes, but cash to cash. And his heaven was the printing press where they print money. That is where he resides in his ‘next world’.
Umno is not a political party. No doubt that is what it once was. But, that, it no longer is. Umno is now a trading house. It is a business. It is the new-age East India Company of Malaya or the Noble House of Hong Kong. It is what the old British companies used to do 200 years ago in this region.
The old Colonial masters used to buy and sell power. And to buy and sell power you need to buy and sell people. And people who could not be bought and sold would be incarcerated or killed. That is the Colonial game. That is the way the British played the power game. But the British are no longer around. They are no longer Malaya’s Colonial masters. We have a new Colonial master. And that Colonial master is called Umno.
I too was offered a deal. Work for the incoming regime, those who will be the new Colonial masters in March 2009, and become filthy rich. To resist is futile. Power can’t be resisted. To resist would mean to incur the wrath of the new masters who will be so in March 2009.
The alternative would be imprisonment. The two choices are simple: work for the powers-that-be and become rich or go to jail. I chose jail. So, two weeks later, on 12 September 2008, they came to my house and sent me to the Kamunting Detention Centre.
But I had good lawyers. And my lawyers did something never before done in the almost 50 years history of the Internal Security Act. They managed to convince the court that my detention was illegal and that I should not be in Kamunting but instead should be sent home. And the judge in the Shah Alam High Court agreed. So he sent me home.
The government is now appealing the Shah Alam High Court decision. They want the Federal Court in Putrajaya to declare that the Shah Alam High Court judge erred and that I should not have been released. This is the final stage of my fight. If they win, I get sent back to Kamunting. There is no further recourse. There is no higher court for me to continue my fight. The Federal Court is the last stop. It is the court of the last resort. I either remain free or I get detained indefinitely.
I asked for seven judges — at the very least, five. The Federal Court has refused my application. My fate now lies in the hands of only three judges. Seven judges would have been safer. Five would not have been too bad. With only three judges my chances are slimmer. And three men are going to decide whether I continue sleeping in my comfortable bedroom the next few years, until the day I die, or I get to spend my last days in a hellhole.
I could have taken the money. I could have enjoyed the remaining years of my life in comfort. Now, I face the risk of spending my final days as the life of a detainee. But that is how Umno works. They try to buy you. And if they can’t buy you, they kill you. And if killing is not an option, they at least incarcerate you. That is the only game they know how to play.
When Pakatan Rakyat formed the Perak and Selangor state governments soon after 8 March 2008, Umno quickly offered PAS a deal. If PAS was prepared to form a coalition with Umno in Perak and Selangor, they agreed to allow PAS to become the Menteri Besar of these two states. As a sweetener, Umno also agreed that the Islamic law of Hudud be implemented in Perak and Selangor. Umno will give PAS its Hudud that it seeks.
It was a sweet deal. Not only will PAS be running Perak and Selangor and will hold the post of the Chief Operation Officers of these two states, but PAS will also realise its dream of seeing Hudud as the law of the land where it had failed in Kelantan 20 years ago and Terengganu ten years ago.
Sweet deal as it may be, PAS said no. Realising its dream and being in charge is one thing, but they also have to consider their loyalty to their partners, PKR and DAP. They will not betray their partners in Pakatan Rakyat for any amount of money. So PAS said no.
Umno then worked on DAP since PAS was no longer a possibility. The offer was RM10 million for each DAP man who was prepared to cross over. The DAP men and women all declined the extremely attractive offer. RM10 million is a nice figure. That kind of money will go a long way. But there is more to life than money. And no DAP man and woman took the offer.
Okay, buying Perak and Selangor State Assemblymen and women from Pakatan Rakyat is not possible. No one is for sale. So, if you can’t buy them, then kill them. And Umno got a certain MIC man who married his boss’s wife after sleeping with her whenever the boss was out of town to do what he is most good at. They wanted PKR men fixed up.
That was easy. He is an expert at fixing up people. He fixed up his boss. He fixed up his boss’s wife who is now his wife. He can fix up PKR men easily enough. He asked to meet two PKR men. He then arranged for his driver to carry a bagful of money to the appointed meeting place with instructions to drop the bag under the table unseen and unnoticed. He did just as he was told.
No sooner had the bagful of money hit the ground when the Anti-Corruption Agency officers rushed in, picked up the bag, and arrested the two PKR men on allegations of corruption. They did not know what hit them. They did not even notice the bagful of money under the table.
These two PKR men are now missing. They have been missing since the last four days and no one knows where they are. But they are not really missing as such. They are safely in the hands of Umno. And Umno wants them to agree to a deal. Accept RM10 million each and cross over to Umno or else go to jail on corruption charges — the same deal they offered me and which I declined and which resulted in my detention under the Internal Security Act on 12 September 2008.
The day the two PKR men were picked up and kept under ‘protective custody’, one Umno State Assemblyman crossed over to PKR. That spoilt the whole plan. They needed just two PKR State Assemblymen to bring down the Pakatan Rakyat state government in Perak. Now, with their own Umno man crossing over to PKR, two will no longer be possible. They now need three.
They offered the ex-Umno, now-PKR State Assemblyman the post of Menteri Besar. If he crosses back to Umno and Barisan Nasional grabs the state, he will be made the new Menteri Besar. They need him back or else it would be pointless to blackmail the two PKR State Assemblymen now facing the prospects of jail. Even if they took the RM10 million in exchange for jail, Umno would still not be the government in Perak. They are still one State Assemblyman short.
What irony. Even as they kidnap two PKR State Assemblymen and put a sword at their throats, an Umno State Assemblyman crosses over to thwart their plan. They ‘gently persuade’ the ex-Umno man in their efforts to get him to cross back to Umno. “Altantuya was killed and Bala has disappeared,’ they told him. They are ‘worried’ something may also happen to him if he does not cross back to Umno.
Yes, Umno is in the power business. They buy and sell power. They also buy and sell people in their effort to attain or maintain power. But even as they hatch their evil plots, their own people cross over to the other side. And that caught them with their pants down. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. And that is what happened to Umno in Perak.
Meanwhile, as they try their best to get back Perak through foul means, in other places they run the risk of losing power. In Negeri Sembilan, all Pakatan Rakyat needs are three state seats to oust Barisan Nasional from the state. Umno is watching that state closely lest three Barisan Nasional State Assemblymen cross over to Pakatan Rakyat to help them form the new Negeri Sembilan state government. And Negeri Sembilan is Khairy Jamaluddin’s state, the state he hopes he will one day become Menteri Besar of before he journeys to Putrajaya to take the seat as Prime Minister of Malaysia some time after 2020.
But Khairy no longer has time to worry about Negeri Sembilan. Negeri Sembilan is something in the future. Negeri Sembilan can wait. Khairy has more immediate problems to worry about.
Khairy is no longer in the lead for Umno Youth Leader. Khir Toyo is now in the lead. Of course, it has cost Khir Toyo a colossal amount of money. He has thus far spent hundreds of millions to ensure that he is the hot favourite for Umno Youth Leader. But it is money well spent, as far as he is concerned. After all, it is not his money. It is not money he made pulling out teeth as a dentist. It is money he stole all those years he was the Menteri Besar of Selangor.
Word is out that in April 2009, as soon as Abdullah Ahmad Badawi hands the Prime Ministership to Najib Tun Razak, Khairy will be dead and buried. And Khairy too knows this. But what can he do? He is going to die a day earlier to Pak Lah’s death. He will not be attending Pak Lah’s funeral. Pak Lah will be attending his. This, Najib will see to it.
In the recent Umno Supreme Council meeting, an anti-Pak Lah demonstration was organised in front of the Umno headquarters in the PWTC. It was made to appear like it was organised by NGOs. But the hidden hand of Najib was at work.
Najib suspects that Pak Lah might not hand over the chair to him in March 2009 after all. And the message he wants to send Pak Lah is that he must let go in March and not a day beyond that. So the anti-Pak Lah demonstration was organised to drive this point home.
Many of Pak Lah’s right-hand men are now facing corruption charges. According to the Umno Disciplinary Board, there are 900 cases of ‘money politics’ — meaning corruption. But they are pursuing only a handful. And these ‘handfuls’ are those aligned to Pak Lah.
They want Pak Lah’s men all out of action before March 2009. Then, come March 2009, Pak Lah will be all alone and isolated. Not only his key men, even Khairy Jamaluddin must be brought down. That would be the only way to ensure that Pak Lah will really go in March 2009 as planned. One Umno man detained for ‘corruption’ alleges that they tortured him and forced him to implicate Khairy as the man behind the move to buy votes.
So, people like Norza Zakaria, Ali Rustam, Azeez Rahman, and the man with two Muhammads in his name, all have their hands full, as does Khairy. They are all fighting their own little battles to stay out of jail. They have no time to worry about Pak Lah. Their own survival is at stake. They are now focused on saving their own necks, leaving Pak Lah to sort out his own problems.
Yes, Umno moves with such brutality. Become rich or go to jail. Retire in comfort or behind the high walls of prisons and detention centres. That is the modus operandi for Umno. They take no prisoners. They kill on the battlefield. It worked for the British Colonialists 200 years ago. It still works for Umno today. But those who live by the sword die by the sword. And Umno is going to discover this soon the hard way.
Meanwhile, watch as those who once walked in the corridors of power fall, one by one. There will be many bodies. You will not see any wounded. It is either you are with us or you are dead meat. There is nothing in between. Who are going to become the victors and who will be those vanquished? No one knows at this stage. But Pak Lah might still stay on beyond March 2009. He has no choice. With the stakes too high and with the ‘winner takes all and loser losses all’ game that Umno is playing, there can only be one left standing at the end of the match.
《逐鹿问鼎》以杀人为生者，必死于刀下
这两位公正党人现已失踪了。他们在四天前失踪到现在，没有人知道他们的下落。可是他们并非就此消失无踪，他们现在安全的在巫统手中，巫统要他们答应这宗交易。
收买他们，要不然就杀了他们！这掀开了牛年的主题，而巫统就靠这个主题赖以为生的。如果你因为此剑而生，将来你也会因为此剑而亡。这是无可置疑的，为剑而生亦为剑而亡。
我记得在二十年前一位巫统强人告诉过我一个故事。某个州属的某名州务大臣临终时，亲友们在他的床前作临终祈祷，念诵着『雅辛章』（Surah Yassin）㈠。
㈠Surah Yassin 或作 Surah Yaseen，中译『雅辛章』。可兰经中的一章。
可是他不肯死，他就这样在弥留间，不想死可是也活不了。当用汤匙喂他汤水时，他的嘴巴能够张开。是的！他一辈子都在喝汤（贪污），在世上的最后几天，他还是让人来给他喝汤（等着人家喂）。
大家都厌倦了。这该死的人本来就该归西的，可是他就是赖活着。他就这样弥留着，死也死不了，活也活不了。要怎样才能让他死而瞑目呢？
他们请了一位宗教师，他是一位在穆斯林社会备受尊敬的人士。这位宗教师吩咐他的家人把保险箱打开，把里面隐藏着的几百万钞票取出。他们没时间去讨论或是争论这样做是否有问题，他们照做就是了。
宗教师把整把的钞票塞入枕头套中。这个被塞得满满的、拥肿的枕头被交给那位不想死的人。这人已经躺在床上整个星期等死，他曾经是一个手握大权，极度贪污，在某个极度富庶的州属中担任州务大臣，而现在他却是一个极度脆弱的病人，死不去，活不了。
这位曾经聚权利和财富于一身的人，抱着他那塞满钞票的枕头，咧嘴一笑，长叹一声，闭上他的双眼，咽下他的最后一口气。他最后与世长辞了，去了另一个世界。
是的！这位前州务大臣为钱而活。他只有在紧紧抱着他的钱财下才死得瞑目。所谓‘以杀人为生者，必死于刀下’。金钱就是他的『神』。他为财而来，为财而走。不是所谓的『尘归尘，土归土』，而是『财归财』。他的天堂就是钞票印务馆，他在那里印钞票，这就是他所去的『另一个世界』。
巫统现在已经不是一个政党。毫无疑问的，它曾经是，可是现在再也不是了。巫统现在变成一家贸易公司，它已经变成一门生意，它是新时代的马来亚《东印度公司》㈠或是香港的《華貴洋行》㈡。它现在仿佛就像两百年前英国公司在本区域所做的那样。
㈠《东印度公司》（East India Company），十六至十九世纪葡萄牙、英国、荷兰、丹麦、法国等欧洲殖民主义国家对印度和东南亚各国经营垄断贸易、进行殖民地掠夺而特许设立的公司。
㈡《華貴洋行》（Noble House），詹姆斯·克莱威尔(James Clavell)(1924-1994)『亚洲系列传奇』小说中的第四部。小说讲述的是六十年代风云变换的香港。内容涵盖了股市的动荡、金融经济商业巨头的恩怨厮杀、苏联克格勃、国民党、共产党派出的特工在香港的角力。有关小说在1983年被改编成美国连续剧。
旧时代的殖民地东主常会买卖权力。要买卖权力，你必须买卖人。而不能被收买的，或是无法被出卖的人会被收押或是被杀掉。这就是殖民地时代的游戏规则，这就是英国所玩弄的权力游戏。可是现在英国已经不在这里了，他们再也不是马来亚的殖民地主人，我们有了新的殖民地主人，而这个殖民地主人就叫巫统。
我也曾收到被收买的开价，要我为即将产生的新政权办事，这个新政权将会是2009年3月后的殖民地新主人，我到时将会因此而暴富。抗拒是无意义的，权力是不能被抗拒的。如果抗拒的话就会激怒这位新主人。
另外一个选择就是坐牢。两个选择再简单不过：为未来的当权者办事，坐拥富贵荣华，又或者是，去过铁窗生涯。就这样，两个星期后，在2008年9月12日，他们来到我家，把我送去甘文丁扣留中心。
可是我有一个很好的律师团，而我的律师们为这个有50年历史的《内安法令》做了一件前无古人的事。他们成功的说服法院说我的扣留是非法的，我不该呆在甘文丁，而应该被送回家。沙安南高庭的法官同意了，最后他把我送了回家。
政府现在对沙安南高庭的判决进行上诉。他们要求布特拉再也的联邦法院宣布沙安南高庭法官是错的，我不该被释放。这是我的斗争的最后阶段。如果他们胜了，我会被送回甘文丁，再也没有上诉的余地，我再也不能在任何更高的法庭继续我的斗争，联邦法院就是最终点了。我会继续自由，仰或，我会永远的被关起来。
我要求七位法官承审，或至少五位。联邦法院已经拒绝了我的申请，我的命运现在就操在三位法官手中。有七位法官在手看来比较安全，五个也不赖，可是就只有三位法官的话，我的机会渺茫。这三个人将会决定我是否能够在未来几年，继续舒服的睡在我的卧室，直到度完此生，又或者是在囚牢中度过我的余生。
我当初可以拿取那笔钱，舒服的享受着下半辈子。可是现在我却必须冒险面对在铁窗下度过残生的结局。可是这就是巫统的运作手段，他们尝试收买你，而他们无法收买你的时候，他们会把你干掉。如果把你干掉不是可行的话，至少会把你关起来。这就是他们所唯一懂得玩的游戏。
在2008年3月8日不久后，民联组成了霹雳和雪兰莪州政府。当时巫统迅速的向回教党开价，如果回教党准备与巫统在霹雳和雪兰莪组织联盟的话，他们同意让回教党在这两州成为州务大臣。更加出位的是，巫统也同意在霹雳和雪兰莪实行回教刑事法（Hudud），巫统将会奉送回教党梦寐以求的回教刑事法。
当时，这可是宗好买卖。回教党不止能够统治霹雳和雪兰莪，以及还能够坐上这两州的首长职位，同时回教党将能够实现在实施回教刑事法的梦想，而这个梦想在二十年前的吉兰丹和十年前的登嘉楼都失败了㈠。
㈠州宪法的修改不被允许超越联邦宪法。违背后者原则的任何修正案将被视为无效。
虽然是个很好的开价，回教党却拒绝了。实现梦想和掌握实权是一回事，可是他们也必须考量对他们的盟友-公正党和行动党的忠诚。他们将不会因为任何数目的钱财而背叛他们在民联中的盟友。就这样，回教党说它不要。
既然回教党已经没有可能，于是巫统开始打行动党的主意。开价是对每位跳槽的行动党人付出一千万令吉。行动党的男女同志们一律拒绝了这个极度诱人的开价。一千万是个不错的数目，可让人无忧无虑的过日子了。可是生命中还有很多更甚于金钱的，没有一位行动党的男女同志接受这项交易。
好啦！收买霹雳和雪兰莪民联州议员是不可能的了，没人愿意被收买。这样好了，如果你无法收买他们，那就杀掉他们吧！巫统找上了某位国大党人。这人曾经乘他老板出门去办事的时候，勾引老板娘上床。最后他娶了老板娘做老婆。巫统要他去收拾掉公正党人。
这很简单，这为仁兄本来就是收拾人的专家。他收拾了他的老板，他收拾了他的老板娘，而这位老板娘现在是他老婆。收拾公正党人对他来说易如反掌。他要求会见两位公正党人，然后他安排了他的司机带了一大袋的钱来到指定的会面地点，根据指示把袋子神不知，鬼不觉的放在一张桌子下。他照着做了。
钱袋一放下，反贪污局官员马上杀出，把袋子取走，也把这两位公正党人以贪污罪名逮捕了。他们懵然不知自己犯了什么罪，也不知道桌子底下有一大袋的钱。
这两位公正党人现在失踪了。他们在四天前失踪到现在，没有人知道他们在那里。可是他们并非就此消失无踪。他们现在安全的在巫统手中。巫统要他们答应这宗交易，接受这一千万令吉跳槽到巫统，要不然，他们将会因为贪污而坐牢–这和他们向我开价的一模一样，就因为我拒绝了，才导致在2008年9月12日我在《内安法令》下被扣留。
就在这两位公正党人被带走和『受保护』的同一天，一位巫统州议员跳槽到了公正党。这倒把整个计划搞砸了。他们原本只需要两位公正党州议员就能够推翻霹雳民联州政府。现在，他们自己的巫统议员跳槽公正党了，两个不够用。现在，他们需要三个。
他们献议那位跳槽的前巫统议员州务大臣的职位。如果他回归巫统，让国阵重掌这个州的话，他将会被推举成为州务大臣。他们需要他回来，要不然威逼那两位面对牢狱之灾的公正党州议员是无济于事的。即使他们拿了那一千万令吉来免除铁窗生涯，巫统依旧不能在霹雳成立政府，他们还缺一名州议员。
太可笑了。即使他们把两位公正党州议员给绑架，然后摆了把刀子在他们脖子上，却让一位巫统州议员的跳槽给破坏大计。他们竭尽全力『温和的劝服』这位前巫统党员回归巫统。「阿旦杜亚已经被杀了，峇拉也已经失踪了，」他们告诉他。如果他不跳槽回巫统，他们『担心』他会出事。
是的！巫统所涉及的是权力交易。他们买卖权力，他们也同时收买和出卖人心，以巩固权力。可是正当他们在密谋诡计时，他们的自己人却跳槽到敌对阵营了，这倒是把巫统尴尬地逮个正着了。以杀人为生者，必死于刀下，这就是巫统在霹雳州所发生的事。
就在他们尽其所能，企图使用肮脏的手段夺回霹雳州的同时，在另一边厢，他们正在冒着失去政权的危机。在森美兰州，民联只需要多三个议席就能将国阵逐出这个州了。巫统正在密切关注这个州，深恐三位国阵州议员跳槽到民联，替他们组织新的森美兰州政府。森美兰州是凯里（Khairy Jamaluddin）的州属，他希望将能够在这个州成为州务大臣，以便他在2020年以后入主布特拉再也，成为马来西亚首相。
可是凯里已经没有时间担心森美兰州的事了。森美兰州是未来的事，森美兰来日方长，凯里有当务之急需要处理。
凯里已经不再领先巫青团长的竞选。基尔（Khir Toyo）现在是领先者。当然，这让基尔花了一大笔钱。到目前为止，他花了几亿元以确保他能够成为巫青团的热门候选人。在他的考量中，这些钱花的值得。反正这些不是他的钱，也不是他当牙医为人拔牙赚回来的钱，这些钱是他在担任雪兰莪州务大臣的时期搜刮来的钱。
谣传在2009年4月，当阿都拉巴达维（Abdullah Ahmad Badawi）移交首相职位给纳吉（Najib Tun Razak）后，凯里将会被腰斩。凯里也知道这一点，可是他能怎样？他的死期将会稍微比伯拉要早一天，他将无法出席伯拉的葬礼，反而伯拉将需要为他送终。纳吉将确保是如此。
在最近的巫统最高理事会会议中，在太子贸易中心（PWTC）前的巫统总部大厦面前，有一场反伯拉的示威。这场示威被掩饰得看起来就像是非政府组织所号召的，可是后面的推手就是纳吉。
纳吉怀疑伯拉可能不会在2009年3月移交棒子给他，而他要带给伯拉的讯息是：他必须在三月份离开，连多一天也不行。因此，所组织的这场反伯拉的示威就是要把这点说清楚，讲明白。
伯拉的众多左右手正在面对贪污提控。根据巫统纪律委员会的数据，共有多达九百宗的『金钱政治』案子–即是贪污的意思。可是他们仅是选择性的追究几宗案子，都是扯上伯拉派系人马的。
他们要伯拉的人马在2009年3月之前通通出局，到了2009年3月份的时候，伯拉将会孤立无助。不止是他的大将，就连凯里也必须被斩下马，这是唯一能够确保伯拉会在计划中的2009年3月份真正的下台。一位因为『贪污』而被扣留的巫统党员声称他们对他逼打成招，强迫他指认凯里是收买选票的幕后指使人。
就这样，就像诺扎查卡利亚（Norza Zakaria）㈠、阿里鲁斯旦（Ali Rustam）㈡、阿都阿兹（Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim）㈢，还有名字中有两个『莫哈默』的那位㈣，全部都在火烧眉头，凯里也是一样。他们全部都在为他们自己不用当阶下囚而忙，他们无暇担心伯拉的事。他们自己的存亡还是个问号，他们正在全力挽救自己的脑袋，让伯拉自己想办法去解决他自己的问题。
㈠诺扎查卡利亚（Norza Zakaria），联邦直辖区巫青团长，巫统最高理事，由凯里一手提拔。
㈡阿里鲁斯旦（Ali Rustam），巫统副主席，马六甲首席部长
㈢阿都阿兹（Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim），巫统少青团团长，即是那位怂恿把飚车族纳入少青团的主导人
㈣名字中有两个『莫哈默』的那位，莫哈默泰益（Muhammad Muhd Taib），前任雪州州务大臣，巫统宣传局主任，目前提名竞选巫统署理主席，他的名字中带有两个「莫哈默」。
是的！巫统的作法是如此的残酷不仁。要就富贵荣华，不然就蹲牢房。要就舒舒服服的退休，不然就在牢监里过余生。这就是巫统的一贯作风（modus operandi）。他们不留活口，他们在战场上杀戮了当。这在两百年前的英国殖民者是如此，今天巫统依旧也是如此。可是，以杀人为生者，必死于刀下，巫统将会在不久的将来自食其果。
与此同时，那些曾经在官场上显赫一时的官爷们一个接一个的倒下，到时将会是尸横遍野，你将见不到任何活口。你要不是投靠我们，你就完了，别无选择。谁将是胜利者，谁又将消失呢？在现阶段，没有人知晓。伯拉仍旧有可能在2009年3月后继续坐稳位子。他没有选择。在巫统的这场赌局里，赌注实在太高了，「赢者一切通吃，败者一无所有」，最后只能有一方存活。

公正党霹雳州总部
紧急文告
怡保，２００９年１月３１日
我们谨此通知诸位，两名来自人民公正党的霹雳州议会成员加马鲁丁拉特兹（Jamaluddin Mohd Radzi）以及奥斯曼再鲁（Mohd Osman Mohd Jailu）在四日前已经失去联络，不止是党，就连家属也联络不上他们。
我们相信他们的失踪与他们目前所面对的贪污控状有很密切的关联，这项控状将会在２００９年２月１０日过堂。
我们一开始相当肯定上述案件是一项巫统和国阵所捏造出来的政治恐吓。
我们相信国阵存有说服这两位州行政议员跳槽的目的，作为拿督斯理纳吉迫切的额外好处，包括取消他们的贪污罪名。
无论如何，我们希望这两名领袖能够安全无恙，坚持他们对党一路走来的原则信念，不要受巫统－国阵的诡计而动摇，加入所谓的捍卫马来人权益的行列。
哈兹欧斯曼
