The emperor Has No Clothes.
When you fail to learn, whether from history or what is evidently happening in your country. Then you have lost the plot.
Especially if your plot is to hang on to the crown you clearly grabbed when the pendulum swung in your direction.
Unless you’ve been quarantined in your bathroom suffering from unstoppable diarrhoea, you have clearly demonstrated your stripe. I was about to compare your stripe to that of the hyena, but I wouldn’t want to insult the latter.
You are no different from the deposed chairman who quipped about two trains kissing when hundreds were injured in a train mishap recently. Both of you are cut from the same cloth.
You joked about raising your blue flag, when the black and white flags hoisted by the people were cries of desperation and despair.
You strut the public domain thinking we admire your prowess at power grabbing and court intrigue. Knowingly or unknowingly, you have just disrobed yourself for all to see.
What an ugly sight it was to be forced upon. The truth in this case is truly ugly.
You and your kind. No matter how you adorn yourselves we can see through you.
We now cannot un-see what we saw. And we shall never want to see, ever again in a person leading our nation.
This is one Farewell we can’t wait to bid you.
You have just promoted a minister, during whose watch, saw new record high numbers of cases and deaths.
Now we know why our nation is losing in this Covid war. You and your kind have no interest and no clue about what is happening in the real world. You are lost in another world. Totally lost.
Instead of commending the rakyat for starting positive initiatives like the white flag movement to care for and feed each other, you told us to not believe in them.
This was clear when you failed to show any shred of sympathy or understanding of the people’s pain during your public address yesterday.
The people were looking for some comforting words from their leader. You instead rubbed the hopelessness of the situation in their faces by making quips like raising blue flag instead of black or white flags and full kitchens. And that the T20s are also suffering. Insensitive? Or simply incapable of any form of compassion or feeling or you just simply don't care?
Yesterday- July 15, has to go down as one of the saddest day in history for Malaysians, not only because there are people starving or dying, the people living are devoid of hope when hope and leadership are most needed now.
Before bed, as I trawl the thick and fertile plains of social media channels, I find countless, and endless laments, essays, videos, blogs, vlogs, twits, tik-tocs, pleas, cries and rants on the state of our nation and our leaders and I find myself joining them in chorus. "The emperor has no clothes" and maybe then they will slowly listen and do something.
Good night and good luck Malaysia.
