ginal invocation of article 50 in one swift move the uk has a chance to press on a button to stop the countdown after that the uk can go for a fresh referendum to vote again on whether to exit the european union here s a chance right here but mired in the miasma of the quicksand of ego and misguided myopia theresa may and her lemmings in cabinet and some in the backbenches have confined themselves to playing the role of alec guinness s character in the bridge over the river kwai where having built the wooden bridge that would be of strategic logistical importance to the japanese army and at great cost to the lives and limbs of his fellow prisoners of war he blows the whistle to the japanese when he discovers evidence of a plan to blow up the bridge the moral here if it is lost in my crazy words is if theresa may and her coterie believes that the amount of time they have invested in a multitude of scenarios for brexit justifies their refusal to consider the revocation of the original article 50 invocation then they are on the wrong side of history the reason why the older britons voted in the majority for brexit was due to the threat of open borders in the summer of 2016 when droves of illegals traipsed freely through europe in the northerly direction but equally compelling is that the majority of the younger britons though not enough of them went to vote wanted to remain in europe the uk can and should engage the eu on the silliness of the open border policy it is a naive policy as everyone can see by now that is something that can be placed on the agenda but remaining in the eu is the economically sensible thing to do mrs may has the chance to correct an egregious error of judgment by the british public the mood of a buyers remorse is now very clear in any scenario the uk economy without europe is destined to shrink that is a horrid legacy that theresa may can avoid if she has a sufficient sense of history and context posted by de minimis at 10 28

prosecutors for having allegedly understated his income between 2010 and some years after is a stark reminder that much as we speak of progress as humankind with leaps and bounds of technology etc etc we actually haven t changed much from our basic nature as one of the species of animals that inhabit the earth the old male lion in a pride that gets ousted by a challenger the old male wolf in a pack that gets ousted by a challenger the list goes on and on the old rooster the old gorilla it is in the nature of things that nothing is permanent ghosn led a moribund renault brand to incredible success then he led the moribund nissan brand to uproarious success success breeds its own festering pool of nasty negativity and jealousy the wise leader keeps his ego in check so that he will know when to leave if the leader forgets and lets his ego take over challengers will plot and subvert the leader david attenborough should do a documentary that reminds us on how animalistic corporate behaviour is the ghosn saga where the flimsiest of prosecutorial charges that brings down an ageing successful leader by cowardly hidden daggers makes politicians look like honest dealers at least politicians are unable to deny that theirs is a dirty cesspool where scumbags try to drown each other a bizarre and twisted dishonest unavoidable transparency the denial mindset of the corporate sector creates the pretense of bespoke suits silk ties luxury marques shiny offices of steel and glass and ambitious industriousness tempered by good corporate governance behind the facade is the ugly truth of animal behaviour a backstabbing dagger is always wielded by a coward and one more thing the ghosn saga reminds us to never overstay our welcome posted by de minimis at 10 23 am 3 comments

clearly a centrist in his previous 22 years as pm he had shown a clear preference for a very strong central government what about his colleagues and new political allies the pakatan harapan coalition has had the recent 10 years of experience in federal state relations as the state government of selangor and penang will this experience temper their position when dealing with states now that ph is the central government leaving aside the semenanjung states for now we turn our gaze to sabah the new warisan party and its new allies have formed the state government in sabah warisan is an ally of the ph coalition but it is a sabah based party that is a good thing because it provides a clear demarcation which works better in the fragile fluid minds of politicians whose meandering dealings often resemble the brownian movement of smoke particles the former barisan nasional coalitions member parties in sarawak have wisely jettisoned their links with bn and umno in order to recoalesce as gabungan parti sarawak that is a good thing sarawak has the added complication however of a non ph coalition state government with the strong presence of pkr and dap in the opposition benches of the sarawak state assembly to make things even more interesting both pkr and dap are part of semenanjung led political parties the real test of federal state relations will obviously be in the arena of the oil and gas sector where sarawak has taken the lead in asserting its claim for a reversion of its rights of ownership over that natural resource within the sarawak state assembly will partisan party politics come into play or will federal state loyalties come into play the sarawak voters will be watching who will champion sarawak s state rights of ownership over oil and gas with dr mahathir as prime minister the position of the new gps coalition and the position of the sarawak members of pkr and dap on this matter will be sorely tested for sure posted by de minimis at 11 37 am no

address to pmo departments this morning was the need to keep the 3 branches of government separate and distinct so that they can each provide a check and balance against the other thank goodness sanity is returning to malaysia this is very good posted by de minimis at 12 52 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday may 20 2018 the new opposition s key imperatives umno mca and mic needs to deconstruct and reconstruct by his initial public pronouncements khairy jamaludin seems to be one of the umno stalwarts who has a finger on the pulse of the changed malaysian electorate but kj s utterance that umno may need to consider transforming into a multiracial party may not be shared by other party members it is likely that there will be significant numbers in umno who actually believe that it was all najib s fault and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ketuanan melayu and the apa lagi cina mahu narrative the call by ali rustam for members not to contest the top positions is a reminder that the lessons of ge14 will take quite some time for umno to learn meanwhile mca s leaders say that they will consider transforming into a multiracial party the mic appears to be licking its wounds without any significant pronouncements before going further on this let us be reminded that these barisan nasional component parties are very wealthy with shareholdings in various corporations and these component parties have a very wide network of branches with proper leadership and a new brand positioning they are more than capable of becoming a credible and formidable opposition but so far there is no evidence of any transformation these are early days if umno sticks with its ketuanan melayu and the apa lagi cina mahu narrative umno will decline further if the mca quickly transforms into a multiracial party it has a good chance to come back to life generally the bn component parties must go beyond nitpicking they have to be mindful of the rich ironies of their public pronouncements since may 9 2018 so far all their statements have been cringeworthy for example when you hear umno leaders speak about the need for the rule of law you cannot help cringeing and recalling the following 3 members of the 1mdb investigative team of the macc chief abdul kassim bank negara governor zeti and attorney general gani patail were neutralised gani patail in particular was summarily removed the public affairs committee of the parliament s report on 1mdb was declared an official secret not available to the public jamal and the red shirts could do things with impunity while the yellow shirted bersih was yanked on a super short leash and the list goes on and on and on a senior colleague of mine made the observation 2 years ago about how amazing it was that in the malay community there was hardly any moral outrage at the goings on in umno and its government well it took a combination of mahathir anwar lim kit siang wan azizah and their team to spark the moral outrage that straddled all malaysian communities at all levels that said we should also temper our thoughts with the acknowledgment that even if 60 of the voters went with pakatan harapan and pas 40 stayed with umno bn and 30 of the malay vote went to pas inasmuch as pakatan harapan is figuring out what went right umno bn needs to take a brutally honest post mortem on what went wrong i know everyone who is anyone has a long litany of categorical bile to list out to umno bn on what went wrong for them the problem is that within umno bn there are still many many who hold on to the belief that ketuanan melayu and the apa lagi cina mahu is still relevant mca is attempting a new narrative i don t see anything coherent yet but it may come umno is the interesting one to watch at the moment it is highly doubtful that the current crop of umno leaders will abandon the ketuanan melayu and the apa lagi cina mahu narrative but it s early days yet and let us remember that malaysians now well and truly live in the era of hope posted by de minimis at 10 14 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels barisan nasional his majesty s loyal opposition isn t it a strange expression his majesty s loyal opposition it is a reminder of the constitutional system that malaysia adopted seamlessly and it would seem obviously from the british westminster parliamentary system it was an exported version of course the original model in the uk is different from malaysia s version in many ways most significant is that malaysia has a written constitution and the uk doesn t in the uk their parliament is supreme in malaysia the federal constitution is supreme what this means is that in malaysia all decisions of the government and all laws enacted can and must be tested against the federal constitution if the decisions and laws are found to be against any principle or provision of the federal constitution the decision and law will be invalidated and struck down as with everything in life these structures operate properly only when all humans involved in the process share a common belief in the rules if we get a leader who wants to transcend the rules and has the power to flout the rules then the system has failed in the uk none of the current players ever question the fundamental rules of their parliamentary system that is why their system works well just to digress a little in the united states of america today we can see how fragile systems of laws can be the us found themselves with a president who parachuted in as a rank outsider to their representative democratic processes he isn t a career politician and legislator he is a businessman to digress further all businessmen have one core purpose in their business goal it is to take full and maximum advantage of the system be it legal or economic to maximise profits in our current era a businessman is at core a profiteer he or she will test the rules and boundaries of the laws of the land and push and pull cajole compromise lubricate and do whatever that needs to be done to maximise profits equally important is to understand that within the organisation he created a businessman is a dictator or at the very least a benevolent despot don t be fooled by the conventional wisdom of corporate and business literature when they extol ethics and social responsibility that s just propanganda make no profit and incur losses you fail and you re out that is the damoclean sword that a businessman lives by and the us elected someone with that background and experience the diplomatic phrase for such a person who now acts as the us president is that he is a transactional leader so in a third world polyglot and multi racial community like malaysia and with an imported system of laws people who are used to feudal values and imperial dictates still cannot understand what a constitutional monarchical parliamentary system means many malaysian of voting age still believe that voting is a superficial act what is important to them is that there is a feudal lord who will provide them with beneficence in exchange for with they must offer their gratitude you can imagine how fertile that ground is for abuse of power whatever the system of laws to lesser minds operating within malaysia s constitutional system as politicians or political operatives due to lack of credible opposition and a bullying juggernaut approach to democracy these lesser minds chose to ignore the basis of the federal constitution they chose to retain the old habits feudalism with such an attitude any attempts to audit the decisions of government was portrayed as treasonous seditious and generally unlawful so he who inhabits the position of power may not be opposed any opposition was an act of lawlessness between 1981 and 2003 dr m led umno and by dint of habit therefore assumed the position of prime minister of malaysia during those 22 years he behaved as an iconoclast by his actions he initiated a mindset within umno that laws could be bent and moulded to strengthen powers and reduce opposition during those 22 years the executive branch of government grew manifold times to be fair in the modern age the executive branch of government has grown throughout the world in response to the increasing complexity of modern societies but in malaysia such executive growth had ominous undertones opposition political leaders and civil society leaders were incarcerated this was the habit of the malaysian government as it was in many third world countries when he relinquished power in 2003 there was a brief spring under abdullah badawi that spirit was ini...
