Cows, BS and mule!

Now that the news of the forthcoming 13th general elections is on every body's mind, it is only appropriate to mention something on Malaysian politics.

Some people talk passionately about politics. Now, with the dissolution of the Parliament, politics is at the tip of every body's tongue. People of all ethnicity and social class, as it appears to me, seem more courteous to each other as though have teamed together to fight for the betterment of the country at large.

One particularly peculiar observation that I realised is that whenever you are embroiled in heated political discussion, say in a social function - birthday, wedding reception, dinner etcetera, the person who leads the conversation with much passion, offering intricate inside information would invariably not be registered as a voter with the Election Council!

Of course, you have to ask him point blank on the face to skewer this information. And you have to indulge in a lot of face reading to authenticate the truth of his statement. Be prepared too for lashing if the storyteller is the easily offended type or is a bona fide voter! 

9/10 you would get a sheepish smile with the reply he had not registered for the flimsiest of reasons and justifications. At the end of the day, he would emphasise that he only feeds on the crumbs of the droppings of the present day leaders, whosoever holds the helm. One devil would not be more righteous than the other. He may add that "Cows may come and cows may go, but this bull here (obviously referring to himself as a muscular alpha male type and not referring to his words that fall from his mouth like droppings, i.e. BS!) stays forever! But lest he forgot that cows are sensitive words in Malaysian politics that can lead him to trouble.

Come 5th of May 2013, these big talkers cannot complain much if the rest of the voting community decides to elect a mule as their leaders! These whiners just have to pick up their crumbs or droppings and move on....bray, bray, bray...
