THE joke of the year, no CENTURY!

This has to be THE funniest, rib tickling, floor rolling, tears inducing article I have read in YEARS, I tell you, YEARS!

Bernama - Thursday, November 6

Asked whether Malaysia would also see the emergence of a leader regardless of race as had happened in the United States, Abdullah said that could happen anywhere at all.


"It depends on the people. They will determine that. What happened in the United States was not determined by Washington or any group but by the American people themselves by election through the democratic process and an election practice which has existed in the United States for a long time," he said.

"It depends on the people? They will determine that?"

Let us all be truthful here. BN wins, UMNO president becomes PM. After all the leader of the largest party will always be the candidate for PM. And with shoe polishers in the form of MCA and MIC, BN will forever remain "united" and UMNO will forever be "reigning party" in Malaysia. If you look at the recent election, a LOT of us DID NOT want the current PM to be PM. And even people within UMNO asked him to step down. YET, he still remained PM and the next PM may not be our choice either. So who is he kidding when he said it depends on the people? The people denied BN a 2/3 majority. The people do not agree to the current PM. The people ( and a heck load of them) voted against BN.

Let us not get our hopes up when the soon to retire PM says this to garner favour among the "people". He has said quite a load of things ever since he came into power. Such as there shall be no increase of the cost of petrol. Or I am not stepping down anytime soon. And other whatchamacallits. So, take this with a pinch of salt and a whole dose of laughter.

Still, funny stuff this "It depends on the people" statement.
