Roses are sinister, at times

Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi condemned those Indians who wanted to sent roses to him. He said they are illegals and are holding a Hindraf rally.

So far, we had observed, the prime minister had accepted flowers and roses from Puteri UMNO and some other women.

We don’t know why the prime minister had conjured the present intention of the Indians as something sinister. Is it the Indian thing?

No, it’s not the Indian thing. The reason is, it spoilt his mood.

Inspirasi dah sampai, NST exclaims. This gathering to present the PM the red and yellow roses must have spoilt his mood and hurt his inspiration. He may never had another inspiration again, just like those emotional stress encountered by dysfunction sexual partners.

Those Indians should have sent the flowers through Samy Vellu or Michelle Yeoh or Puteri UMNO. I’m sure the PM would have accepted it.

But the Indians chose to sent it themselves. They even applied for a police permit to gather as a group to meet the prime minister. But the police would not grant the permit because they have sinister feelings, just like the PM’s feelings. As such, the gathering becomes illegal, not because it is illegal, but because it was made illegal.
Why did the PM and police thinks the flower presentation is bad?

Because the PM thinks these Indians are bad for polls; that it was a mockery to the democratic process.

But democratic process means the people have rights of expression and rights to assemble peacefully?

The PM don’t think so. To him, democratic process means citizens must agree with whatever the government and the ruling party do and act. It include agreeing to what the PM thinks, and what he desires, which he thinks is good. For example, he thinks his MPs are clean, therefore we must accept his MPs as clean; he thinks the police and ACA are efficient and clean, we must also agree. He thinks Lingham is drunk and mad, we also will agree. He thinks there’s no corruption and his children did not benefit enough as yet, we also will agree. He thinks and that’s why he sleeps at meetings and conferences, and we must understand that he is not sleeping but thinking in his sleep which is still thinking, and not sleeping. So, please don’t think he sleeps; he’s thinking in his sleep, and that’s thinking, not sleeping. picture1.jpg

    Well, in Pak lah’s world, anything that is an act of democracy is considered undemocratic. In the UK, The Stop the War coalition can march whenever they want in London. But in Bersih’s case, the moment you step into the heartland of KL, you’ll be greeted with water cannons. It’s a double standard. And double standards is what Pak lah and Khairy’s good at!

    Re the UK, there’s a ‘no-protest’ exclusion zone around Parliament; it would appear that coming face to face with protest is something that the UK government isn’t very keen on. either…
