MALAYSIAKINI: NAJIB WANTS INDIANS AND CHINESE VOTERS TO BACK BN

Hmmmmm.... I took a break from the usual by-election fever and the feverish political pitch in our country to do some light reading. Actually, I was beginning to get disgusted at the state of our nation's politics so, I decided I had enough and for a break, I actually went on Lulu.com to search for a book to buy and read while isolating myself from the disgusting political sewer our nation had become.

However, I failed. You know why I failed?

I did find a book, a good book by Maddy Lewis, titled 'The Last Day In The Life Of Mickey Harrisson'. I chose it not only for it's catchy title, but because at 2.50, it was the cheapest. Of course, me being an enviromental nut, I ordered the book as an ebook to save countless trees that would have been cut down had I ordered the paperback version.

The thing is, it was a short story, about 40 pages but as I read it, I couldn't help but notice similiarities between the book and the state of our nation today. The book essentially deals with a young man named Mickey Harrisson, who gets into a gambling debt with gangster Edward 'Crazy Eddie Scissorhands' and has to pay up in 24 hours or die. Knowing he cannot pay even if he sold the clothes on his back, he decides to enjoy the last 24 hours of his life without care and caution, essentially, doing everything extreme and wild he had always wanted to do.

I say I see similiarities between the story and Malaysia because I have to say, the BN government in Malaysia is on shaky ground. Rumours swirl around that once Anwar wins the by-election and steps into Parliament, a horde of MPs will switch over and Anwar would become PM. So, like Mickey Harrisson, BN could be said to be living on borrowed time. How actually true the rumours are, we would have to wait and see.

Let's assume for the purpose of this article, the rumours are true and Anwar is one step away from Prime Ministership. So, BN, just like Mickey Harrisson is desperate. Desperate enough to do anything, just like old Mickey. Desperation is the name of the game and so everything goes.

While Mickey's first act of carefree freedom was to pull down his pants and flash his naked butt to the police, in the process causing a car crash, BN, in its desperation, has tried to reel in Anwar with the sodomy allegation. The thing is, by doing this, it has played into Anwar's hands and created massive sympathy support, like how Mickey caused the car crash.


Mickey's second act is getting revenge on the priest who molested him as a child, Father Pillman. Father Pillman is a supposedly righteous pillar of justice, on the outside, he is a solid citizen whose word is not to be doubted, a pious man of God. On the inside, he is a depraved paedophile, who preys on the young choir boys and altar boys. You know, BN is much like Father Pillman. They portray themselves as the sole saviors of the country but inside, they more rotten than anything on earth. Look at Penang, DAP takes over and finds so much corruption, land irregularities, shady business dealings. One transaction caused a loss ofRM9 million to the state government. I am eagerly anticipating the debate between Guan Eng and Koh Tsu Koon. Look at the Terengganu Mercedes controversy, the Perdana maintenance controversy, the Immigration DG corruption, the Tourism DG corruption, Altantuya case, the Bar Council Forum case, the UiTM quota case, the police drug theft, the police sodomy, the police corruption... I can go on and on and on but I need to breathe. ~~Sigh~~

Oh, you know what happened to Father Pillman? Hahahahaa... The end for him was brutal, bloody, cunning and humiliating. Don't wory, he didn't die.. He was taught a lesson he would never forget, nor anyone else. Read the book!

Next up, Mickey walks down the street and buys a newspaper and sees the news of a suicide terrorist in Israel. On an impulse, Mickey stops and sees he is in front of a mosque. He is struck by an idea, runs into a nearby hardware store, buys a can of spray paint and defaces the front wall of the mosque. You know what he wrote on the wall? He wrote 'Muslims and Jews both suck!' Hahahahahaha... Aren't we in Malaysia also sick of the religious segregation? I mean look at the Bar Council religious forum being gatecrashed by religious fanatics and hoodlums even with a major police presence. I wondered if the police were protecting the Bar Council or the protesters. I mean everything is so touchy-feely these days. There is no freedom of religion, you can't say or speak of anything remotely discussing religion. The usual threat is ISA and Sedition Act. What is going on??

Mickey's next move is exacting revenge on his pesky neighbour Marge and her cats. He does it nicely, and eventually poisons the cats and nails the most hated cat of the bunch to the wall. Now, this does sound familiar right? I mean people are saying that the sodomy allegation is intended to 'poison' Anwar's career and bid to become the next PM and come on, let's face it. Anwar is being crucified on government controlled TV channels. They criticize Anwar at every chance, and not one reporting is favourable. Syed Hamid had taken the chance to comment on the case at every turn and quite why the Minister, and in fact, the DPM, the PM and almost every BN member, would want to comment on an ongoing legal case is beyond my understanding.

Next is maybe a very disturbing act. Mickey, driving, sees a veiled Arabic woman, dressed in a burqa walking down the street. He stops his car, gets out and says 'i've always wanted to do this.' and immediately slaps the woman! A crowd gathers to watch as Mickey insults the woman, saying he is sick of her 'kind', calling her 'terrorist whore' and all sorts of things you have to read for yourself. Now, the crowd, instead of helping the woman, cheers Mickey and even give him a knife. He shreds the burqa, attacking the woman, fashioning a tube top and a short skirt. When the police comes, the crowd even helps Mickey escape, one of them punching a policeman and the other tripping the policeman. You see, Malaysia too is flooded with illegal immigrants, those pesky Bangladeshis, Indonesians, Myanmars, Nepalis, and all sorts. They flood our country, take away our jobs, income, contributing only in crime and all things negative. Why is there no action taken? Talks of huge roundup operations have been going on but nothing is being done. Why? While BN talks, the illegal immigrants are still at it. We, the Malaysian population, despise the illegal immigrants, just like the crowd in the story, but we can't do anything else but hate.

Next up, Mickey has sex with a transsexual in an alley, an unexpected and unplanned encounter. He walks down the alley and is propositioned by the tranny and Mickey goes along with it since he was going to die later that night and always wondered what sex with a tranny would be like. Now, here none of the BN might be sleeping with transsexuals. The similarity is that in our nation, BN is plunging in, pulling out all stops, to stop Anwar because it knows it is in its final death throes. They are resorting to dirty tricks never done on anyone else or by anyone else because it is so desperate, desperate knowing its time is near.

His last act is to get revenge on who put him into the situation the first place. Kathleen, Crazy Eddie's daughter. He knew the debt was a carefully executed plan so that Kathleen could have revenge on him for telling her off during a date. Mickey manages to get in and to cut a long story short, has his revenge on Kathleen, tying her and her stepmother up, going through her stuff and finding evidence of incestual sex between her stepmother and her and putting the video up on Youtube. Here, BN is like Kathleen. You see BN is executing a carefully laid but desperate plan of revenge but Anwar is going to pull through and when he becomes PM, there's gonna be plenty of evidence cropping up. You just wait.

There is a twist at the end. I have to admit, I didn't expect it and no one will. I don't want to spoil it for you guys, so I'll just say Mickey DOES NOT die. He meets someone, someone you would never have thought of and a meaningful conversation is struck as the person taks to Mickey, reminding him of everything he did that day, saying it was his choice all along. BN is like that, everything had been their choice. Our country this day is like this because of BN governance. No one else is the government. They caused our country like this, steered us into this bubble of segregation and separation. Their choice strategy of divide and rule leads us to hate our fellow citizens, while supporting our own race and religion. There is no unity because they chose to lead us that way. Everything had been their doing and so if you want change, you know what to do. And Najib has the balls to ask Indians and Chinese to vote for BN in P.Pauh..

Errr...Hmmmm....Sigh... Ummmmm.... Okay, okay, in the end, Mickey meets Satan. There, happy??? But he doesn't die.

Okay, I feel better after.. Anyhow, I don't do this usually but this is a good book that everyone needs to read. You can get it at lulu.com. Just click the button below.



So get your copy and read it and you'll understand why I compare it to Malaysia.
