panacea

Let’s face the truth. The only two issues that UMNO/BN has or trying to invoke are these Racial (Harmony) Card and Malay Unity Card. The Malay Unity Card is somehow evolving into Insulting Islam Card, since a general perception (and enshrined in the constitution) that a Malay is a Muslim or of the Islamic Faith. Somebody raised this point earlier in one cyberspace. I could not remember who. RPK had been instrumental in highlighting this point. He wanted us to differentiate the tree from the forest. Being able to distinguish the real and ulterior motives from the smokescreens will enable us to respond correctly to the situation the UMNO/BN machineries hope to achieve. Recognise clues from the red herrings.

The Gerakan and MCA bashings
The (stupid) Utusan man’s call for Theresa Kok Lie Detector Test

Let us sieve through the mess and see the actual issues behind these veils. Do not bite the baits paraded by the SB aka agent provocateur.

Do not buy their argument. We are far too sophisticated and intelligent to be duped into running amok ala May 13th “incident”. I remember a line from David Soul’s song that goes “This time I’m going in with my eyes open, won’t make the same mistake again”.

It has been said also in many cyberspaces that these racial, religious and unity cards always work for them in the past. They have become a panacea of sort to UMNO/BN. Just raise the cards, cry foul and round up a few unfortunate bystanders, slap them with sedition charge and detain them under ISA. Abracadabra! The whole nation tows the line. Fear struck and life goes back to “normal” as usual.

We have all been conditioned and programmed to behave like cowards. Maybe we deserve what befall us.
