Time to kick some BN arse!
Those of you who have been following this blog for a while will probably have observed that I haven’t been addressing political issues – at least not in my characteristic swashbuckling style – since I returned from an unplanned pilgrimage to the Sungai Buloh hospital in early January.
This isn’t because I fear for my personal safety at the hands of an enraged Rais Yatim – the irascible Information, Communications and Culture with a reputation for threatening bloggers with “stern action” – (which makes him sound like a closet pederast, if you happen to be familiar with nautical terminology).
Nor is it because I have given up the battle against BN’s 53-year misrule. On the contrary, I’m as determined as ever that before too long all decent folk will be celebrating the installation of a Pakatan Rakyat federal government; the abolition of archaic oppressive laws; an exhaustive reform of the deformed police force, judiciary and civil service; and the flowering of a more democratic, more open and far more just new era in the nation’s evolution.
The real reason I’ve taken a break from writing acerbic commentaries on the political scene is that I was enjoying a period of expanded consciousness that afforded me an eagle’s eyeview of events occurring on multiple levels on this planet – and beyond. In effect, my focus was on the macro rather than the micro – and, besides, there are already enough political commentaries appearing on a daily basis on various blogs and news portals.
Unlike Raja Petra Kamarudin – arguably the best-informed, most audacious political analyst and catalyst Malaysia has ever produced – I have little or no access to juicy gossip from within the corridors of power. At this juncture I can only repeat what I’ve been saying for the past few years (in fact, my entire adult life): Banish Umno/BN from power… or migrate!
