Politics, how I love it!

Overheard at Barisan Nasional's campaign spot at Permatang Pauh.

"Parti pembangkang menyatakan bahawa isteri kepada DPM kita telah membunuh perempuan Mongolia itu. Manakah lojik? Manakah lojik ISTERI DPM kita, akan masuk ke dalam belukar itu? Orang biasa pun tak akan masuk ke kawasan belukar itu!MANAKAH LOJIK ISTERI DPM akan ke tempat belukar itu untuk melakukan apa yang dikatakan oleh parti pembangkang yang beliau telah buat? TIDAK LOJIK! Oleh itu ianya TIDAK BENAR!"

Now, I am not much of a criminologist but I think, if I intend to kill somebody, or watch somebody's body be blown to tiny little fragments, I would probably, possibly, just maybe, decide to choose a spot that nobody frequents. I mean, that is me-la. Because I am "orang biasa" and not special like DPM's wife. So if you were Rosmah (or whatever her name is) and you decide to kill somebody, it is only logical that you choose a place which a lot of people frequent, say like TTDI, or maybe Taman Tasik Titiwangsa and then while you are (ALLEGEDLY) watching the Mongolian woman being blown to pieces, you can only hope nobody walking nearby can or will 1) hear 2) see or 3) care what is going on in there.
(And it does not matter that being Malaysian, a motorcycle parked at the side of the highway piques everyone's interest enough to cause a massive jam from slowing down just to see what is happening)

I am always, always amazed at the things that come out of the mouths of politicians. They say racists things, they call Indian "kelings" in Parliament, they call Chinese "immigrants" and because they are immigrants it is "impossible for them to be afforded equal rights". And that Malaysia Today's website was not banned, but merely "blocked". But the one that takes the cake are the words that come out of our beloved PM's mouth when asked to comment on racists things said by his fellow party followers. It is always "I am sure he did not mean it that way" and that "we may have misunderstood him".
Oh, then there is the senior politician's "it was reported in the Chinese papers and I do not read Chinese so I do not know whether he actually said what he said." AND if there have been abuse of powers or alleged corruption reported, it is "we will investigate and ask them to explain themselves...but after Raya." [I suppose because the truth will only reveal itself after Raya]

Then there is the thought process that they go through. Such as just because someone swore on the Quran, it automatically means that that person is telling the truth. And that all other people are not to comment on it because you know, "people should not distort the truth".Even though investigations have not completed and the truth is not known yet. But the Government's version of the truth is always the right and logical one. So, if its not in line with the Government version, then its more often that not, NOT the truth but a pack of lies.

Gosh, I love the fact that Anwar Ibrahim won Permatang Pauh. It means that the Government has miraculously found some monies hidden under some persons' bed which can be taken out to subsidise fuel again!First they had enough to reduce petrol price to RM2.55. And now they say maybe after Raya, they may find MORE monies stashed somewhere to further reduce the price!

I love politics!
