I have spent time in many countries around the globe and have witnessed a great deal of political turmoil throughout the years. However, I am still constantly surprised and to a certain extent amused by the political plays in Malaysia. If you follow some of the blogs and politically motivated websites it provides more entertainment than the now defunct 'News of the World'.
Politics in Malaysia seems to be more about ridiculing your opponents and their family than about discussing serious issues or even attempting to come up with a solution for something that needs fixing. Especially the opposition with PKR as the clear front runner , but certainly not exclusively, seems to believe that all it takes to win the next election is to make fun about your main opponents. And in that respect it doesn't seem to matter if the stories hold water or not.
The website Malaysian Chronicle is very good at making the most out of fabricated stories. Not surprising if you realize that it is a front for PKR and that the main person behind the website has already been forced to resign before because of the spreading of lies and false informtation. So not the most reliable source to begin with but still with a large bunch of readers that believe every word written there. Examples? Rosmah's 24 million diamond ring, the multi-billion platinum yacht, The British monarch wearing yellow in support of Bersih!
Surely the rest of Malaysia's voters cannot be that stupid? People please! Don't try to compete with the brothers Grimm or Hans Christiaan Andersen! They were much better at fairy tales than you will ever be!
fuck you mat salleh
