the naked truth by martin jalleh
Post on Dec.30, 2005
One does not need to be a seasoned or sharp politician to spot the naked reality that little has changed in this country in spite of the PM’s constant chant of change. The charade of change can be easily seen by the naked eye.
Since the last general elections Pak Lah has been”squatting” rather contentedly on his laurels. On several occasions he has been caught exposing his glaring political impotence when decisive and daring action was demanded.
With each passing day, the veneer of a government supposedly different from the last is slowly stripped away. Even the blind can see the facade. The Squatgate scandal reveals in dramatic fashion the naked truth that its time for Pak Lah to stop talking and start baring his teeth.

Martin Jalleh:
“…there have been countless personal
testimonies (especially by former ISA detainees) on the disgraceful, disgusting, despicable, degrading and dehumanizing treatment of detainees by the police, long before the infamous 1998 police black eye episode…”
Absolutely. It really needed the Black Eye incident to expose openly the matter, and draw the public attention to that. Watta shocka, shocka!
So, to those who used to think that the governance is benevolently paternalistic in their idealized neo feudalistic heads we can only say, “Welcome to the club!”. This decadence is also, in no small way, an indirect product of entrenched racism which silenced any inputs especially of those from other races, from the pool of people of myriad descent possessing the real astuteness of universal integrity. Indeed we are left with complete buffoons and the cynical to manage everything, camouflaged and abetted by the most slavish media for their own institutionalized benefits.
From racism, elitism, like a cancer, grows. As natural as having smoke with a fire. And the elites are self serving and entirely devious, hence needing lies, propaganda and spins in ever greater amount like with drug usage.
