This essay by Dominic Damian fully encapsulates what many Malaysians are feeling today.
By Dominic Damian
The next elections were lost on the 31st Jan 2024. No amount of backpedaling or cosmetics to smother and assuage the anger would work. There are no smooth, suave promotional gimmicks that will work in this case of a pardon unmerited. This is no ordinary glitch. The incompetence of morality is inexcusable. The objectionable and questionable are now beyond the comprehension of fixability. No logic, rational or reason will be appropriate, sufficient, adequate or acceptable. There are many losers in this immoral idiocrasy. Those who pulled this stunt believing in their invincibility and impregnability of reformasi will discover soon enough the wrath of the common citizenry. Their smug arrogance will splatter mud on their faces that even swine’s will not wallow within.
This pardon may be considered illegitimate when one considers what the former Attorney General Tommy Thomas explained, quote’ the criteria for a pardon arises when a prisoner has served one third of his sentence and does not have other pending criminal cases’ unquote. Going by what the ex-AG expressed
· Can the pardon be revisited and revoked on what appears to be a flaw?
· Can the persons involved be dismissed for negligence and dereliction of duties?
Insinuations, innuendos and connotations abound that this is well in excess of a conspiracy.
This sickeningly appears to be meticulously planned, orchestrated and executed with frivolous trivialities. The stuttering, stammering, and shuffling cold feet in the outlandish premature announcements are evident of such strategic sewage in the garbage of the so-called intellectuals. More than quite a few folks, in obvious outrage, are expressing this outright.
Were there skeletons of such darkness in the closet of the persons or those they loved that they were subject to blackmail.
Were there extraordinary unfathomable rewards, unseen, unknown beyond the wildest dreams to facilitate this unholy pardon.
Were their lives or that of their loved ones in any sort of danger.
What benefit or advantage is there in such ludicrous, ridiculous and preposterous pardon that is of unimaginable provocation that there exists no possibility of providence to exonerate anyone. The adversities in the landmine uproar of curses surely cannot outweigh the gains beyond a stretch of imagination
The suggestion is that the accounts and possessions of the nefarious and notorious, in this pardon of profanities, and whoever their associates or proxies in this nightmarish fiasco, must be rigorously and scrupulously scrutinized and audited. No mere mortal being knowing the depth, breadth, scale, scope and magnitude of the criminality would have allowed such to transpire.
This may be a rare, unique and one-off situation for this Bugis felon who has threatened, intimidated, harassed, hounded and enticed any individual to wrangle a pardon out of nothing. It displays the powerlessness of the so-called exalted mighty and the power that is wielded by the legendary ‘cash is king’ criminal.
Each no matter who they are: have made it possible, by tacitly sanctioning, and supporting subtly the most corrupt to get away. By virtue of this deed of infamy, each is as guilty in complicity and criminality as the despicable national embarrassment of a known felon.
Each who was an integral and intimate part in the mechanism of pardon have succumbed to the scheming as no more than slavish scumbags selling themselves to a sin, incomparably heinous. The unholy rope of Judas would not want to wrap itself around their necks- for Judas only betrayed one! Here many have been stabbed by daggers of betrayal. For some political parties and politicians- the Rubicon has been crossed. They have crushed themselves to an insignificant point of no return. They are doomed and damned and nothing they say or do will save them.
Those who executed this have conferred a blessing from the bowels of hades which proclaims with sanctimonious shamelessly piety: ‘I hereby pardon you. You are blessed to go forth and steal not in billions. Steal in trillions instead!
Horrendous in language is incorrigible in compatibility of assigning a destination for this travesty. Terrible as in thought is as incompetent in expression to capture the destitution of such dishonesty. Horrible is as unimaginable and unthinkable to calibrate it to shame. We take shame itself as a virtue of one’s humanity. Indecipherable is the indecency and indefensible is the encapsulation to understand how such criminality is sanctioned and exemplified as an exception for exemption.
Make no mistake about this. The ‘pardoned’ is an authentic bona fide criminal on a global level. He is remorseless without an ounce of humility or repentance on this abominable appalling criminality. He has all the means to pay the nation back for this staggering criminality. Instead, he has chosen to be a smut, sniggering, swaggering, strutting, sneering, and mocking individual. His antics have compromised every institution and torn apart its fragility. Don’t expect atonement from a weasel of this insidious charlatan. What is really hurting and painful is that we have pathetic crawling cowards in positions of authority, who have absconded their responsibilities.
The person who received the pardon is the ultimate personification of corruption. The undeserved leniency will display the nation’s dishonesty and disrespect in a most disgraceful way. There is no serious intent to wipe out corruption. The damning severity of undermining and underestimating the citizens’ faith in governance and institutions will be diminished. The reputation of the nation is undeniably shattered, fragmented and broken in a million pieces. The glue of justice has the viscosity of water. Mind you, this is NOT just another fly by night criminal. He is undoubtedly THE criminal. What is really worrying is that in pandering and appeasement, the begging bowl of pardon was offered without encumbrances. The gall of the family to demand that it must be a full pardon is the icing on the cake of insults.
The pardoned if one can call it that! Has lost all strands of credibility and dust of respect. He will now be tolerated with silent contempt no matter what he does. Sabotaging the economy by theft! Subverting morality with lawlessness where it is not beyond such compromisible character to be beyond potential murder. He has most certainly earned there will always be swords of hate, loathing and revilement bedeviling the ‘pardoned’ in broad daylight. A rabid monster is free. Citizens are betrayed by the venomous poison for politics. Treasonous treachery on pardon virtue is how these lowlife serpents will prosper in promoting and protecting each other.
A cold morbid monster with the heartlessness of hades and the soullessness of slithery serpent was able to seduce and entice with the dance of the devil some sniveling cowards. Those who abandoned morality for the shameless immortality of unforgettable evil have earned their legacy where their eulogy will be rendered and their epithet will be carved in their tombstone. We are indeed living in perilous times.
It has been suggested that If we can collectively drown the contemptibles involved this fiasco in a sea of urine and spittle - it would be more than a privilege and pleasure for folks who are revolted by the reprehensible developments.
This unfortunate episode serves to confirm an irreversible and irrefutable fact: there are no higher beings or those considered lesser. All matter being equal the so called highest, prominent and powerful of elites embedded in echelons of societies with the entrustment to advance societies are the one who repeatedly fail us. Yet some among us worship the ground these ‘failed’ walk upon and inevitably trample upon us. Whose is the transgression that we have such individuals who trespass upon conventions of morality. It is we the common! We who strive with integrity and struggle with industry, paying our taxes that suffer the ignominious consequences of who we vote in. Those whom we vote in subsequently appoint this with zero credibility and zilch in merit. We reap what we sow with our votes.

Bolehland wonders cannot be left alone for just a few minutes without them ambling into or creating some amazing mess. I was away for the weekend when I would stay off any news about anything Bolehland, and have some peace of mind. And guess what, as soon as I turn my back, something happens, and this time it's Pardonsgate!
But what is there to talk about now when we're supposed not to question anything, accept it all, and, like usual, suppose to forget it like the politicians advise.
Issues such as immorality, betrayal, etc though elusive, alien notions to most in Bolehland especially the politicians, can be painlessly absorbed through Anwar and the MacDani gomen's dispensation of sagely opportunistic wisdom.
The glorious enterprise of pardoning Ah Jib even appears fast-tracked as if there's nothing more urgent and important to do for Bolehland than forever coming up with lunatic antics for our permanent silly season. Are all our wacky ideas to distract from our politicians being utterly clueless about the economy - and everything else? What about corruption which is permanently on the agenda to talk of and do nothing about? Abuse of power, anyone?
Suddenly Anwar discovered Ah Jib's "contribution to the country" to justify special treatment for Ah Jib, which is apart from what most of the population saw as massive daylight plunder of the country.
Maybe Anwar has got a point about Ah Jib's "contribution", Anwar himself was spared the rod, he should have been handed over to Spanko to have his backside spanked for his supposed no-sin sin of backside bonking.
We can see for the controversial announcement of the non-pardon pardon, various distractions were staged. For instance,
many Hollywood style rounding up of huge numbers of foreigners with massive show of force by the police and the paramilitary should provide distraction for the latest of the typical bungled, half-assed, half-baked dumbass and dumbfcuk solution for the unusually urgent pardon issue for Ah Jib. It's always a safe bet to use foreigners/migrants as scapegoat to relieve the anger of those many among us with serious anger and hate issues.
The way out of the unbelievable mess of a fcuked-up cockup Pardonsgate should be "lessons be learned" even it is impossible Malaysians ever learn anything from anything, Malaysia is cursed with forever repeating the same mistakes due to most Bolehlanders being unable to learn anything or understand anything.
Since the non-pardon pardon is half-done without our morons knowing what should be done to lessen the blow caused to the sensibilities of the public, a proportion of which is raging and seething with anger, some things have to be half-done to placate these voters.
Here I propose that, rather than only politicians be entitled to privileges like discounts on prison terms, fines, etc, everyone should be entitled to the same privileges. Discount vouchers, codes, gifts and whatever else entitlements should be made freely and readily available without even bothering our Last Word.
The Pardons Board should be enlarged to become a ministry to deal with all the sins and crimes of all in the country from parking penalties to death penalties which can be commuted to make those convicted half-die with half-pardons. Those convicted should be hanged with half a rope. If ever we get the electric chair for capital punishment, those convicted should be microwaved with less electricity. Maybe they should also be given massage chairs for the cooking class for the electric chair.
The Pardons Ministry should be fully-staffed so that the mountains of convictions can be dealt with soon as the court cases end and those convicted can be given their discount vouchers right away. Bargains, promos, discounts, gifts, vouchers etc should be posted like for supermarkets, departmental stores and online outfits. Every Bolehland noddy should be given a book of discounts to be used as and when.
As there are in Bolehland usually high numbers of cases of rape, incest, and all sorts of sexual abuses, some even on animals, workloads for the prison and rehabilitation institutions and services can be greatly reduced too by the MacDani Answer to sins and crimes. Together with the reduction on prison sentences, there can be reduction of the number of strokes of the cane. To ease prosecution and court processes, the number of witnesses for, say, adultery, should be reduced to two men and four women, women are considered to have half the intelligence of men.
With an efficient Pardons Ministry we can even close the courts which are very expensive to run, and dispense with our comedian lawyers who are dangerous with the kinds of clowns we have in the judiciary and legal services, they are even unnecessary, since, whatever sentences are imposed by the courts, those cooking up pardons can overturn them.
Judges can be replaced by AI which can be more intelligent, more reliable and impartial, and our legions of plantation lawyers can be promoted to sit in the kopitiams to play Rumpoles of the Old Bailey, and LA Law for our own Bollywood, kopitiams, and online legal kelingniks and soapboxes. This is far better than you being hijacked by our unemployed and unemployable legal experts invariably reading off their first-year backstreet college textbooks and handouts, and the book on the law of evidence they sell their parents to loan from Marican the Mamak bookstore.
The improved Discount Route is the best half way out of the crisis of trust and confidence of the public for the MacDani half-baked Roti John gomen and institutions. It will make a lot of savings for our discounts-obsessed and discounts-driven public and will win over the kiasus and cheapskates of the land. And for the first time ever, our citizens can be properly educated, they can participate in the legal process, they can scour the papers religiously and attentively each morning for the discounts, Alhamdullilah!
For Ah Jib while he's got to sit through other court appearances to come, he could best spend his time in prison reading what Anwar claimed he did - "all the great books". There's nothing to show for Anwar's effort, it looks like he's not even read a page of anything. His last monumental speech was to tell the world Malaysia can be key in the "global ethical governance" - another pile of typical Anwar blazing bollocks. I hope Ah Jib can outdo Anwar by reading at least a few great books and not spend all his time at the prison's VVIP GOLF course.
With the Great MacDani Discount Scheme plus the extra discounts, promos and vouchers for the Chinese New Year, Fat Jho should find it worthwhile to get his own air tickets to come back to his other homeland since no politician or gomen is keen to get him to return. Without the whale in the courtroom we can never even have proper half-baked trials. And if he keeps hiding inside the Paris Hilton or wandering around the Arabian deserts he might even get assassinated, don't forget a hitman got at an auditor in Hong-Kong over a big Malaysian case. As with any case to do with Malaysia, we've never got to the bottom of it. Like the Mongolian woman, Teoh Beng Hock, and others.
I have to say the Dirty Arsewipes Party is again being devious with Pardonsgate like it was with helping Mamakthir to power. The treacherous DAP sent out words about "forgiving" the Snake Pharaoh then, severely attacked Ah Jib all along, now it is telling us to half-forgive Ah Jib, wtf! I strongly feel the DAP's next tokong should be Jho Low, that's that Low the Dirty Arsewipes Party should stoop to, wtf!
To start a winner for Bolehland, pardons should be made transferable and freely traded in a pardons stock exchange. Thus, a convicted wife-beater can buy his reduction for his crime from someone who doesn't want to use up his pardon for running over pedestrians with his antique Proton in our typical hit-and-run.
If I incur your displeasure over what I say, please do pardon me. But stick all those discount vouchers for any offence I honour you with up your rear end, thank you!
More is in store. We, the people, need to respond calmly and intelligently. Let spiritual insights, universal principles and conscience be our guide. Focus on self-sufficiency, small secure settlements in suitable locations in the countryside and growing a variety of organic food. Morality has no meaning for politicians.
