Someone is jealous of the comments made by others. Afterall, they have been pulling headlines and getting a lot of attention of late. That, that, that, that, that information minister managed to stutter himself to stardom by issuing attention grabbing statements while the defacto law minister launched its usual tirade of name calling with the latest penyangak statement.
Not to be outdone by a stutterer and a name caller, now the desensitised minister decided to demonstrate his wit and detective skills by expounding his view on the recent rallies and demonstrations. We read today in The Star Online under the article entitled, "Someone planned recent rallies and street demos" that apparently there must be a link between the rallies and street demos. If he stopped there, we would have been left wondering is he, the lone voice from UMNO, that finally acknowledges that the people are basically disenchanted with this lackadaisical government? Well, sorry to blow the bubbles but he is actually theorised that there must be somebody planning from behind the scenes reminiscent to the days where the empress dowager of China ruled behind the curtain. I find it shocking if it is true. Really a mastermind? Someone who somehow managed to make 70,000-80,000 people brave arrests, threats and not forgetting rain (not forgetting thousands more who got stuck in the traffic jams due to the paranoia and anxiety attacks afflicting those in power and decided to do an overkill of police appearance on the roads) to assemble peacefully in public to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights per Article 10 of the Malaysian Constitution?
Now who can do such things? What utterly inconceivable intelligence who played to the hearts of thousands and motivated them, without enticement of money (though this of course is disputed by the powers-that-be as according to them, thugs are there only for the money) and at the pain of arrests and imprisonment to demand changes from the government. Helpless and somewhat lost, the keris wielder indirectly conceded and appealed to whoever this slim shady is to please stand up. Yes, slim shady, please stand up indeed.
I am not sure if desensitised keris wielder has a candidate in mind but I am rooting for the Bigfoot. Afterall, he should have been left alone and not to be disturbed. Perhaps this is the wrath of the Bigfoot to tell us that we should very well keep out of his habitat? We did send researchers and park rangers to bug the living daylight out of him right?
But then again, if our minister did attend university, he will probably learn about Occam's Razor. But we can't discount that he might not be paying attention in class. We will never know. What's this Occam's Razor? Well, in simplicity, all things being equal, the simplest solution is the best or to put it in another manner, if you are trying to explain a phenomenon, try doing it with the least possible assumptions.
If thousands turn up and willing to testify in the media that they are disenchanted and unhappy with how things are being churned out by the powers-that-be, can't the powers-that-be just accept that? And having exhausted all means to get proper redress and dissatisfied yet stifled by the official channels, perhaps, just maybe, they decided to take to the streets by put away their inhibitions and make statements hoping others will take note of their plights? Now, if you get a few oppositions unhappy with electoral system here, a few dissatisfied people with the bread and butter issues there, some agitated people who seen their temples destroyed indiscriminately and not too far some who are upset that the judiciary being turned into a kangaroo system all fed up with four years of empty promises like "Work with me, not for me", "I have been fair, I am always fair and I will always be fair" and "Cemerlang, Gemilang, Terbilang", it is not too hard for these people to decide to band together and voice their dissatisfaction by appearing on streets en mass.
Perhaps keris wielder has a point. He must have alluded to something we all know it all along but he can't admit. The real perpetrators aren't some mystical creatures with lots of hair but rather, those who sit in ivory towers that dictate who gets a piece of the pie and who doesn't. In their orgy, wanton acts of favouring few to the dissatisfaction of many, they unwittingly sowed the seeds of discord in the hearts of ordinary men and women. Seeing the vines of their sins now creeping towards them, perhaps a bogeyman may distract the attention of the masses. Are we seeing the cries of despair from a false brave face? Who really knows?
I am still rooting for the Bigfoot though. It must be his fault. Afterall, who else can we be blame for all these senseless acts?
