Refer to Dr M, Pak Lah & Captain Rahmat – 7th July 2006

Well, well, well. Someone definitely does not want me to speak. Either he’s afraid of losing his post, or does not want to know certain things, or does not want others to know certain things, or is afraid of knowing certain things. I received this text message from the Division’s Secretary at 00:27:24 8th July 2006. It said:

Makluman, peresmi persidangan Cwn. Kelana Jaya Baru (Sdr. Jantan) pada 15/7/06 ditukar kpd. Tuan Hj. Malik harap maaf. Tk muda

That’s okay. I am not a YES-MAN, never have been, never will be. I have my own set of backbone, and a pair of balls. I also have a gift that most politicians do not have: A brain that you can actually use. I don’t give a sh*t for those whom have no balls and join the party just to become rich.

I remember a quote by President Harry S Truman: “You can’t get rich in politics unless you’re a crook.”

I’m not rich. I can’t say the same for some others. In politics, I’ve always held to something Janis Joplin once said, “Don’t compromise yourself. It’s all you’ve got.”

As long as certain quarters in the party regard the party as their personal belonging, I shall just sit and watch the party rot.

I’m better off diving.
