Hands Dirtying Act



And here we thought that Najib is on swell terms with Goldman Sachs.

Maybe there is a pouting moment here, what’s with the whole controversy swirling around 1MDB and Goldman Sachs' role.

Anyway, I digress.

This is in relation to the supposed reactivation of govt equity investment firm , Valuecap, “to shore up the country's stock market”.

The amount – while certainly more than, urm, RM2.6 b – is pretty small when compared to the money pumped by the Chinese government to “prop up (its) plunging stock market.”

Of, course China’s equity market have tumbled like an unstable pack of cards line atop each other to start with.

Didn’t do much help and the bigger fear would then what if the government then decides to stop hoarding and pull out.

Our stock market have seen better days, but as is forever the economic cycle, there will be bulls and there will be bears.

So why the RM20b injection?


And where is this fund coming from?


Why the selected stocks and who decides?


At what point which Valuecap stop, urm, propping and starts selling again to recoup?


Or is there going to be no recoup?


Can Najib simply, simply take RM20b from the national coffers to pump into the share market which is supposed to be market driven without the Parliament's okay?

RM20b is not exactly peanuts and last generations.



Why is the govt getting its hand dirty again with such a commercialized move? Doesn’t 1MDB provide any experience on the folly of doing so?



Or are we missing a bigger picture here?

Not us, of course.

Remiss of Decadence*



* Title with thanks to John Carroll - Sceptical Sociology (2014) 


These words sum it all up why the morally bankrupt leaders we have right now must go.

Otherwise, we will become a turtle of a nation.

Nay,. A snail of a nation.

Stark naked without the brittle shell of self-developed support.

And yes. Stop bleeping bringing in Islam into the issues at hand.

Don’t risk God’s wrath for the sake of one man and his coterie of cahoots with such brazen spin.

Totally Inappropriate but Oftentimes Nobody Gives a Damn

There's a whole load of inappropriateness going around at this time of the year.

Dragging whole  communities into something which is none of their damn business.

Sullying the reputation of person's for wearing outfits
deemed morally wrong by some segments of the public.
Elektra. Need I say more?

Threats of bodily harm IF.

The Emergency Bogeyman.

Projection outright lies as truth.

Snake-oil-peddling half truths as 100% truths.

The list is quite extensive.

God knows when this is gonna stop, if at all.

This is so much like the fictitious life of one Matt Murdock aka Daredevil.

Following  the "Born Again" story arc by writer / artist extraordinaire Frank Miller, Matt Murdock has been literally "resurrected" like a billion lifetime, each time his predicament going from bad to worse.

So, in honour of the writers of a reality seemingly reflective of ol hornhead Matt Murdock, please welcome Elektra Natchios, the one eaully fictitious woman who seemed made for the wretched Daredevil.

To all those joining the #BERSIH4 rally, stay safe.

I will pray for you from afar.

God bless you for the bravery to do something as opposed to nothing.

Amin.

Bogelnya Si Luncai Dengan Labunya


Kalau aku ahli Umno dan baca posting Out Syed the Box “Apabila Pemimpin Sayang Yahudi”, mesti aku malu yang teramat sampai hantuk kepala kat dinding dan tak keluar rumah sampai bila – bila.

Lagilah kalau aku Pembesar Umno. Ala, macam Aziz Karpawi.

Kalau ikut cakap Aziz Karpawi punya telahan, Nampak gayanya Boss dia pun 2x5 je ngan DAP yang dia meluat sangat tu.

Institusi Yahudi gak yang company bawah Boss dia tu tala pi untuk bagi untung sangat besar.

Ironi yang kelakar gila rasanya bila Aziz Karpawi berdegar2 konon duit derma Berbillion Ringgit yang “allegedly” masuk akaun Boss dia tu untuk lawan DAP yang berdana dari Yahudi.

Tuduh buta lak tu, tak macam OutSyed buat siap ngan gambar dan fakta yang semua orang boleh Google.
Bogeyman Budak2
Ka Aziz Karpawi tak rasa apa2 pun? 

Untungnya besar gila tu. USD590m tu ingat sikit ka. Tambah kalau convert ke Ringgit yang tengah merundum jatuh sekarang.

Bergenerasi makan tak habih kalau orang Malaysia yang banyak kais pagi makan semalam ni.

Aku tak mau cakap orang Melayu sebab kaum lain pun ada ramai yang sekarang senak poket dalam fasa eko-no-money tika dan kala ini.

Lagi satu, Pembesar2 Umno yang ada kuasa ni, sikit2 nak lutu Bogeyman.

Bogeyman tu kalau ikut Google: "roh jahat khayalan , yang disebut biasanya untuk menakut-nakutkan kanak2” (atau orang tua – yang ni aku tambah la).

Orang tua tak tau malu nih.
Bukan bogel-man no. Jangan salah.

DAP la, Yahudi la, Kristian la, Iluminati la, Anwar la.

Ada saja Bogeyman Pembesar2 Umno ni.

Pembesar BN yang lain pun ada gak buat gini, tapi since depa bukan Melayu, depa tone down la sikit retorik  nak tunjuk liberal.

Tengok la Paul “Too much openness is akin to porn” Low.

Bogeyman gak la tu dengan literal emphasis on “Bogel, Man”.

Jadinya, bila tengok muka set2 Yahudi yang berkuasa di Goldman Sachs yang buat commission melalui syarikat yang berkait lansung dengan kerajaan Malaysia, takkan tak rasa ludah hala kat Bogeyman tu jatuh kat atas hidung kita balik?

Takkan takdak sikit pun rasa kecik sangat2 ego?

Kering gila kalau ye. Hebat sungguh pembesar Umno kalau ya.

I rest my case lah then.

Pakat2 terjun lah  kita ngan Labu kita dalam keadaan sedar kata kita ni dah telanjang bulat sebenarnya.
