what i think

The dabate came and went. i read other blogs and got the usual response from A*war fanboys. “he’s full with facts, he’s showed S*abery alright!” was the mood set in the most blogs aligned towards A*war. But i was hoping to hear the alleged “real solution” to the rising fuel prices. What i got was 2.2. Yup 2.2. All this time dok menyalak about reducing less than 1.92, getting emotions up and people all riled up, then he gives you 2.2. One may wonder whether he actually read P*tronas financial reports before the debate and finally realizing that there is logic and motive behind the fuel hike. I wonder if P*tronas didn’t release the fact on the special dividen during the day before, A*war might not have ammo to whack S*abery.  I would like to say that  S*abery did a good job, minus the personal jabs on A*war (we could do without), he laid the facts and gave very good points one would not have realized. He told the low down on things and didn’t have to inlcude the word “rakyat” in every sentence( ok, nearly every sentence..) like A*war did. He told ( in my understanding) that it was a necessary evil to lessen the burden of the ruling government to allocate funds to other projects for the benefit of the rakyat. He did not use debatable theatrics to sway emotions. Using “rakyat this” and “rakyat that”, A*war kept on repeating the suffering of the rakyat. Yes , we the rakyat are suffering, now tell us the magic formula. And the magic formula was 2.2. I felt my time was wasted listening to the recycled garbage spewing out of his mouth.  Hey, i’m pro-government. At least S*abery didn’t use the same thing over and over. He said different relevant points to prove why the hike happened. P*R and A*war fanboys must have felt a victory, but i think the Thinking People won. The people who are not quick to get on the A*war-bandwagon-for-PM won. Kalau setakat oratorical (spelling?) skills with passion and emotion but points basi dok ulang-ulang pun tak guna. In the end, its the bottom line, why it happened, how to ease/combat the situation, how to live and accept. Everybody knows great orators (or alleged great orators who want to be PM) get fucked in the end, sooner or later the hearts-and-minds theory of bullshitting thru the masses just doesnt’ work, people see thru the smoke, get angry and shit hits the fan. Soekarno, Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin,… A*war? ( this one’s for Mr H and the discussion we had in that rainy day, sure we can judge what we see, but we must also judge the unseen. C’mon twice?!, even U*NO is not smart to try stick that one again.)… Good Job Datuk Shabery!
