We don’t blame the illiterates or those with brain damage if they cannot understand issues. But if educated dudes still refuse to get the accurate information in this internet age, or opt to sing along lies, may God save them.

In response to an interview by Shahanaaz Habib of the Sunday Star, a pro-democracy blogger said,

Keadilan hasn’t been in the news lately, even in alternative media like malaysiakini and agendadaily. In today’s Sunday Star, Pemuda chief Ezam Mohd Nor said the party was deliberately keeping a low profile as it is currently weak..

Yeah, there are thousands of excuses when one do not participate or even be informed on what’s going on. But that is not going to stop the others from putting in their efforts in making things happen.

On national issues, stands have been made or actions taken, for example by Bung Syed on ANB, by Azizah on IPTA, by Anwar on why Bumiputra policy must end and that Keadilan is not after an Islamic state, by Dr Xavier Jayakumar on healthcare and water privatization, by Mike on corrupted and unprofessional police officers and many cases of death in custody…

Rajan Elfie the PIS supporter is PiSseD off by Bob’s statement,

I’d rather we spend more time strengthening each other and dealing with the immediate threat of BN and then creating a viable alternative that will capture the imagination and support of the majority Malay Muslim constituency from the grip of PAS’ ideology.

Therefore, the PiSseD off PIS supporter says,

What the HECK do you mean by “we spend more time strengthening each other and dealing with the immediate threat of BN and then creating a viable alternative that will capture the imagination and support of the majority Malay Muslim constituency from the grip of PAS’ ideology”? Do you mean to backstab PAS in the back by weaning our supporters away? We are probably the only party who actually take YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY. And you show this “appreciation” by back-stabbing PAS?

No, no HELL here, PIS aren’t in power yet. Not Keadilan backstabbing PIS the way PIS backstabbed Reformasi by introducing Dokumen Negara Islam (DNI). We thank PIS for all the years in BA (and the votes we lost thanks to DNI and Hudud).

Winning PIS supporters away ? Hmm, all Keadilan do is to offer another option, so those who dislike Umno need not be forced to vote Umno just because the only other option currently available is married to not only discrimination but torture, so the justice-seekers may support Reformasi without feeling guilty for supporting discrimination, torture and cruelty in the form of Hudud.

Offering another option is equal to advocating the cessation of PIS ? Unless Rajan Elfie is so insecure with the current PIS policies which he thinks will lose to Keadilan’s.

As I said, the silly season this year started early. Seeing that hentam-ing oppositions being the “in” thingy to do this Autumn, even opposition supporters themselves couldn’t resist jumping onto this bandwagon.

It all started when agent provocateur, Just my two sen, tried very hard to misintepret Bob’s opposition of New Economy Policy (NEP). In a cartoon, Datuk Hishamuddin with kris in his hand and bags of cash as well as shares and government contracts with him, was screaming “Jangan cuba rampas hak istimewa kami”.

So, this fler came to the defence of Umno, claiming no matter how evil NEP is, a Barisan Alternatif (BA) dominated by PIS with the so-called “Islamic Economic Policy” (IEP) of PIS will be just worse.

Just few days ago, when I posted “Remember how you trampled on human rights, Tun Mahathir?“, a response by Aliran President, P. Ramakrishnan on Toon Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir claiming the 30 NGOs that boycotted the Suhakam conference just because he was to speak there were denying him his human rights, Gary W Bush also commented that, “Is Dr Mahathir that bad? I thought Hadi Awang was worse?“…

Don’t you see that it’s the same trick ? Disguising as opposition supporters, all they do is telling us that opposition parties are worse whenever we criticize ruling coalition’s mistakes. Therefore, it’s not hard to see that their only aim is to keep bloody Umno in the throne, at the expense of our human rights, freedom and equality. So, watch out !

While PIS is horrible in insisting on cruel torture laws and murder for believers of religious freedom in the name of God through subjective interpretation of al-Quran, as well as replacing the racial supremacy in this country with religious supremacy (so your religion and its followers are inferior to theirs), I have never heard of Islamic Economic Policy (IEP) so far. In fact, you don’t even hear anything economic from PIS, perhaps the only exception is when PIS screwed up their own co-op, Kohilal, a co-op selling self-branded sabun mandi, bihun and cecair cuci pinggan.
