an old man and his addiction

He was famous for his double speak. Now he is even more famous with his double speak. We can read him like a book. If you want to read the next political move, just give him a platform, he will not fail you. Since the PM Najib is a puppet on a string, the one holding it and pulling it all over the place is this evil man who lost his power once and bounced back with great vigour and vengeance.


Che Det’s grip on the power to manipulate Malaysians is getting stronger by the day. One can no longer ignore noises coming out of him or a whimper or simply his stark silence. To me his silence is deafening. I would detect hidden messages and his next few moves almost instantly. But I am not alone. Millions of netizens in Malaysia and keen observers abroad also do not miss this. Many writes on him and exposes his impending moves and in a any war game, having your moves read aloud by your enemy is recipe for doom. KJ SIL of Badawi suffered similar fate in as far as his moves that many described as “text book”.


This old man is addicted to power. He is a first class junkie. But as far as being a strategist, he is no longer apt or even come close to the label “strategist”. He is now but a novice in the world where information travels instantaneously and reaches millions of people across the globe, amongst them are a hundred times better than him. They not only read his move with much clarity but able to pre-empt his next agenda.


Today Malaysiakini reported that he admitted PR ability to win Perak hands down if snap polls are held but revealed his true bluer than blue colour when he scorned and was against giving power back to the people to decide who should rule the silver state. He was peoples’ man when he was out of power and now he is back holding strings attached to his minions in the BN cabinet, from the CEO to front-liners and soothsayers.


I love these war games. They bring out the best in me. The old man and his merry men are my biggest enemies. Reading their moves is my daily routine and my predictions are spot on. It is no longer intriguing but becoming mundane. Maybe I should choose a different enemy before I drop dead with boredom engaging novices in these sordid war games.
