THIS joke, with a few variations, makes its rounds in social media at the height of the Chin Peng controversy – the most feared person or group in Iraq was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi; Indonesia, Abu Bakar Ba’asyir; the Philippines, Abu Sayyaf; and Malaysia, Abu Chin Peng.

“Abu” means ashes in the Malay language.

  • The kind of politics we have before GE14 was rogue and is deep rooted up till today. If our parliamentary power cannot get rid of those elements, who can the people depend on?

    A weak parliament is subject to exploit by outsiders. Just look at the situation in Hong Kong. Their education system has been deeply contaminated with poisons since 1997. 22 years of education nurtured nothing but little devils that are readily being used by foreign powers. Isn't our deep state behaving exactly like them?
