It is said, to really know a person you give him power.

Anwar has failed the test miserably. He has cast aside the reforms he was shouting for during his period in the political wilderness and while being incarcerated.

Going by Meta's response non-response to MacMullah of MacDani' post on Haniyeh, a normal observer would see Meta just gave it's standard reply (late) to MacMullah's complaint. There wasn't any apology nor any promise that MacMullah's rant would not be tossed out again in future.

In other words, MacMullah is just another nobody to Meta. I can't blame Meta for that, it is just another private enterprise and under no obligation to treat MacMullah's rant even if it is brought down the mountain in the form of two stone tablets.

Chasing after Meta for any explanation is a waste of energy and time. Worse still, hiding the acute embarrassment of getting no apology while making a big deal out of accepting the non-apologetic standard reply is poor circus.

If MacMullah of MacDani can read the actual meaning in Meta's (slow) response, the message is "So what?" and Fcuk Off!!!

MacMullah of MacDani runs a state censorship bureaucracy and wants to license only those who would say nice things about him and his regime to be allowed to speak, so why take issue with Meta at all just to be honoured with a glorified Fcuk Off!!!

Whilst censorship and curtailment of the right to freedom of expression is in many circumtances, its not always a bad thing nor something that one is able to say government does not have the power to exercise.

A freedom to expess oneself or their opinions whoever they are, is circumscribed by the situation and the need for balance. It was George Bernard Shaw that said (and I paraphrase) "together with our freedoms come responsibilties". It is something people who claim their rights or freedoms to expres themselves freely seldom take into consideration when doing so.

US Spreme Court Justice and one off the Supreme Courts most respect Jurists in the 20th cnetury expressed the limits to freedoms of expresion thus:

"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" whose principal purpose is to create panic, and in particular for speech or actions, may for that reason be thought to be outside the scope of free speech protections.

Another well known and often quoted analogy to this prohibition is "I am free to swing my cane around me as far as it will go. But that freedom ends at the tip of my neighbours nose" (author unknown).

Whilst I do enjoy the discussions in your blog or substack, I must add that on ocassion it appears to reek of rabid anti Malay sentiments, and government bashing for the sake of it. IMany of the allegations raised on this subject will not stand up in a court of law unless those who make such statements are unimpeachable sources who can testify to their allegations in open court.

Putting all of that to one side, it would be a stronger and more credible testament to your journalism and journal if you are able to balance thse articles that allege corruption of imply that it is the case with facts that can be tested in an open court.

This and many other such articles are in the style of the Bersih and NGO open societies (nothing open about them) that brought Anwar Ibrahim to power. Most of these NGO's and so called of civil societies now feel a sense of disappointment and betrayal with Anwar having failed to read the man properly whilst they engaged in Malay, UMNO and Anti Islamic rhetoric blindly.

Neither Anwar nor his government betrayed anyone. It is those who believed that they could control the man that hangd themselves in the end. He read them and their objectives like a book.

"He read them and their objectives like a book."

Anwar's claim he's read some mighty tomes and the way he thinks and run his gomen betrays serious mental indigestion.

You may admire bankruptcy of character in Anwar but your bomoh remote reading of Anwar's psychology shows you up as a ignorant and delusional nutcase.

Having his dcik stuck up your bum doesn't mean the content of his thick skull can be transferred to you for your rather inventive bouts of plantation psychiatry without even a fake diploma from any of Bolehland's garbage university.

Chicken Korma, please try limit your expertise in so many fields. Stick to plantation law only, perhaps. Leave psychology or psychiatry to at least till you get a bogus qualification.

Leave out bomoh mind reading, even in Bolehland it is not an ability widely recognised. If you are desperate to flaunt your expertise as a self-taught bomoh, at least change those batteries in your coconuts, wtf.

Chicken Korma, you little fascist tinpot general with no army! Freedom means freedom for all and not just for wan side like in your trans' imaginary fanciful fairy tale empire.

"Balance" and what GB Shaw (or anybody) can be worked both ways and more to suit whoever and in whatever circumstance. It's "not the Bible" as the Snake Pharaoh M for Memali Massacre Monster Mamakthir would say - in his macaivillain forked tongue way.

You look perfectly moronic strutting around here dictating what "freedom" to a nobody like you should mean. I've kindly patronised you by saying if you need to dictate your bent here where nobody gives a fcuk who you are, there's nothing like you doing your own site. With your own site you can always agree with yourself and dictate to your massive audience of nobody.

You need try resist the temptation to behave the same way as those slimy slithering shifty reptilians, being plantation niggah shifty is not a class act, you little moronic slithering plantation rattlesnake! I have just the right kayu to whack snakes like you upside down.

Every time I take my sticks out for my walk, the Malays would wow in fawning admiration at my collection of dog-- and subhuman whacking implements! At least I don't go out and massacre dogs en masse like the DAP.

With my blessed skill with them sticks, not only Bolehlanders would be impressed or wounded, the snakes would slither away plenty damn fast too! Well, if you see a snake and a Mamakthir, what would you do?
