Meet Aleyasak Hamid Ali Hassan.
I wrote about him in the aftermath of BERSIH’s 10-ELEVEN in November 2007.
Others have written too. Read here, here and here. Nope, couldn’t find anything ‘written’ by Rocky on his blog archives but he did put up the same photo on his ‘Yellow Day‘ posting. Yup, he was there on that auspicious day.
As reported in the NST (here), has the IGP ‘furiously’ over-reacted to RPK’s article on police brutality?
Or was he just being pig-headed? The IGP I mean, not RPK lah.
Note explanation of ‘pig-headed’ as defined by Merriam-Webster’s online Dictionary
: willfully or perversely unyielding.
Synonymous to ‘Obstinate’ but some of the umnoputras out there in lala-land might think that this could be a derogatory word to use, hence, ‘pig-headed’ would be a better choice for the titling. Paham tak?
And we are not talking about ad hominem cases like Kugan’s, as yet.

And since someone somewhere said that UMNO and PAS might all be rather rural…you apply the word pig to headed and you have put that on the IGP…and that is all they see. The fact that it might be a verb or adverb or whatever la…my England not so good….does not matter…but you my dear friend might just have blasphemed!! nowadays you just pluck anything from the sky and say that you are guilty of it..that means you are guilty of it la….And then you somke more twist and turn so much don’t know what ypou are picking and what you are hurling and what exactly you are hitting..assuming you don’t exactly get at your target…You get that? …ah nevermind!!! Who cares to read Merriam-Webster’s! You got to see what Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka says la!!

Aiyah PW, your England may not be too good but you’re presently in ’sheep’ country lah. Just don’t say “Moooo” too much and scare the natives. I don’t know about being blasphemous but there’s been six ‘GOOGLE-SEARCH’ efforts using the term category “shar101″ in the past 12 hours! Someone’s profiling, eh bro – shar101.

PIG headed? Why, yes ! Because he is the Police Inspector General ( PIG ). A PIG must have a pig head and impossible to have a man’s head. A pig is a pig after all even though it wears a human’s mask. Or maybe he is a Musa’ng ( fox).

Hehehe! Yer getting there, Hamba. Unlike this ‘PW’ fler but I think he’s only pretending not to understand and .. I understand him well – shar101.

Inspector General eh? The last few hours, it seems that he’s been held by the balls by Madey and he’s in deep shit over the SD given by this ASP Hong guy (he’s also persecuted sometime ago). He’s been making some mistakes and my guys also said that after the days of Norian Mai, the police standard has gone down in reputation.
I can’t think of something else for now, I was laughing that Musa is held by the balls now. Remember that line – original copy given to Madey by RPK?

This PIG has long gone beyond expiry date. There are just too many implications and is highly tainted.
And lets hope that good sense and justice prevail and that he shall not be extended any more come this September.
If any further extension than you know umno has accelerated their demise. And this will be the gauge.

I hope everyone studies this carefully crafted article by Awang Selamat (Utusan), one of the best apologists and spin doctors Umno has to offer us, and reflect on the cynicism, hypocrisy and corruption that opportunists hope might appeal to backwards feudal mentalities so beloved of those who walk the corridors of power in Putrajaya.
Let us examine the Awang Selamat article.
When Awang Selamat writes the malays have been betrayed, then he is keeping very good company indeed. Adolf Hitler repeatedly wrote the Germans have been betrayed by the minority Jews. Karadzan Milosevic repeatedly said the Serbians have been betrayed by the minority Bosnians.
Robert Mugabe repeatedly said the Zimbabweans have been betrayed by the foreign West. The BJP regularly say that the Hindus have been betrayed by the minority Muslims.
Nevertheless I am certain that the Malays nowadays are not as uninformed as Awang Selamat and his political masters in Umno would like to believe.
The fact is, Malaysia is fast becoming another basket case country – and the most important thing if you can’t fix the problem or won’t fix the problem is that – Umno can still make sure they win the next elections by fixing the blame.
There is rampant theft by Umno elites, wholesale corruption by Umno cronies whereby the rich and connected malays are entitled to rob the poor and everybody else under the guise of social justice via the NEP, Umno nepotism in the leadership selection process, a fixed judiciary by Umno, a fixed police by Umno and a fixed electoral commissions by Umno.
Why should Umno leaders fix the problem when they are getting richer by the minute via corruption, cronyism and nepotism?
Awang Selamat like other Utusan hacks have been hired to do the job for Umno – make sure Umno can fix the blame onto the non-Malays via a good dose of racist rhetoric, scare mongering, hate mongering, bigotry and ethnic xenophobia – straight from the serious and weighty editorial section of Utusan.
They all have been victims – the minority Bosnian Muslims in the former Yugoslavia, minority Jews in Nazi Germany, minority Muslims in BJP India, minority whites in Zimbabwe and of course, the minority non-Malays in Malaysia.
There are no prizes for guessing who is being prepared for the role of the fall guy, scapegoat and bogeyman by Umno in Malaysia – it is Hindraf, the Bar Council, Bersih, DAP, PAS and PKR.
Adolf Hitler, Karadzan Milosevic, Robert Mugabe, BJP and Umno gangs all have one thing in common – they became obscenely powerful, filthy rich while their countrymen suffered, starved and died for it.
All the while their leaders shouted – traitor this and traitor that – as if the louder they shouted the more easily their lies could be believed.
Luckily there are a lot of Malay-Muslims in Malaysia who think for themselves, and not swallow everything Utusan tells them to. How stupid do Umno spin doctors think the rakyat have become?
As for rich Umno elites getting contracts and scholarships, and poor bright non-Malay students not even getting a place in our higher institutes of learning, this is Umno version of social justice – what a joke, what a travesty, what a monstrous lie.
The fact is Umno cannot make enough money to support their mansions, exotic cars, and wives without stealing from you and me – so Umno version of social justice will always be Umno steals from everybody – you should know by now Umno loves stealing from the poor because the poor are just such easy targets – Malays, Chinese, and Indians – semua di makan oleh Umno – sedapnya!
Awang Selamat appears aggrieved that today generation of Malay Muslim leaders might actually believe in freedom, equality and fraternity. He might be upset that some Malay Muslim leaders are trying to preach goodwill and compassion to everyone – regardless of race or creed.
I suppose this is a shocking betrayal of Umno apartheid policies where in Malaysia today you can be threatened, mollycoddled, scapegoat-ed or jailed strictly on the basis of your ethnic origins.
As a word of caution, I am sure the boys at Utusan will mix it up for their readers – sound conciliatory at some times and then sound racist xenophobic at other times – because even the most stupid people will be able to see through their ploy.
So recently when Muhyiddin ostensibly tells Utusan off in public for being too racist, what he actually means is this – You Utusan hacks are fooling nobody so please change tactics for now – later when the climate is more conducive, then you can try being racist again!
Whether the average Malay thinks Awang Selamat is talking sense or nonsense, it is immaterial to me as I have already emigrated to a country where they insist on equal citizenship, equal opportunity, inter racial solidarity, freedom of speech, rule of law, and freedom of religion – and they insist you get it for free.
Although I love my place of birth, and I am used to racial and religious idiocy from people like Awang Selamat, I see no good reason why my children should have to put up with the same institutionalised racism in a rapidly declining Third World basket case like Umno apartheid Malaysia.
In future, it won’t really matter if the next generation become university graduates or not because the Malaysian public universities will be so rotten that the degrees will be just worthless pieces of paper. What future will the kids have then?
The fate of Malaysia will always be in the hands of the malays. I hope they will choose wisely but then again, it is way too late for me and my family, because I am busy creating a life for myself abroad.
With people like Awang Selamat to lead the way for Umno, in spite of the pain of separation from old friends and family in Malaysia, and loneliness I feel abroad, I smile to myself every time I read Utusan, because I definitely know I made the right decision leaving for a country abroad that actually has a future.
