Khir, The Poor Man's Raja Petra

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the blurry line of morality, victimization and a desperate politician trying to win himself a point just so he can have a post somewhere instead of a lowly opposition member of the state assembly.

This is nothing short of a scandal -- trying to denigrate a female politician on a point which is so distinct from past political scandals to which a particular politician put into similarity, that it only baffles oneself as to how he was able to hold a high political position in the first place? O Right, he is not a rocket scientist; obviously it takes more than a sleazy dentist (not even a real doctor - no offence to other dentists out there).

This scandal comes alight during a time when we are struck by some of the most outrages morality issues not only in this country but also other countries as well. In UK we have a 13 year old (who by the way looks like he is 9!) fathering a child with his 15 year old girlfriend. Even if he is 21, fathering a child out of wedlock would be immoral. But to do it when you’re 13 (and looking very much like a 9 year old!) is just something else. Even the people there are starting to question their own moral standings.

Then in Malaysia, high school kids in Klang, aged 14 or so, molesting their female peers during school hours (okay this ‘school hours’ part has nothing to do with anything). There are also other issues such as amateur porn of school kids caught on 3gp video being circulated all over the country, newborns being thrown away as if they are nothing more than garbage, Rempit beating up cops and so on so forth. What is happening to this country?

(okay I just felt like touching on those issues since we’re on the point of ‘morality’ but I would try to relate it to the political stupidity that is being brought about by desperate politicians and also, try to make sense of it)

To think that with such hazardous issues going about this country clearly defining what is moral and immoral, we have one desperate politician trying compare them to sleeping in one’s own bed, in one’s own house, without clothes (but that is that person’s liberty if she chooses to do so since she is not a Muslim anyway) and without consent to top it all off. Does he even know what he’s saying?

Okay I think the points are all clear and has been pointed out by many political analysts out there: it is her right, it is within the confinement of her own privacy, it is not consented, she is the victim here, it is NOT AT ALL the same as the Chua Soi Lek’s case and it is not impermissible by her beliefs (to be single and sleep without clothes on in one’s own house) - it is not even against the law!

What I don't get is, how can one man cause waves of controversies, unsubstantiated by evidence and are totally ridiculous, and think that people would actually believe one of the things he said? It's like the boy who cried wolf and then when an actual wolf eats one of his limbs, he lies again!

This is definitely why, Khir Toyo is the poor man's Raja Petra. He brings out all these allegations, without concrete proof and evidence and expect us to believe it and listen to him without objections? At least RPK gives out some things for us to read and ponder (but still not quite enough).

Of course if UMNO really wants to survive the next general election, this type of politician is the one they need to get rid off. It is highly embarassing to have him lead a whole state. If he does win the position of UMNO youth head, then we can expect more sleazy UMNO scandals. In fact, UMNO needs to get rid off many more, but just to start things out, he will do fine.

Peace :)
