'Hisham says Soi Lek has upset Umno leaders'

I read the report by Clara Chooi of the Malaysian Insider [December 08, 2010 pm] with interest, not for the contents (as they are just predictable of the Keris-wielding Malay jaguh) but at the picture that goes with the report.  I searched through the web for reports by other - especially the mainstream - media but could not find any at the time (just suppose they are still waiting for words from the top on how to print it ...)

You can read for yourself the report in the Malaysian Insider, but I just want you to behold the picture that goes with the report:

Isn't it the IGP in the background.?

If so, it brings home the very point [of course, there was another] which Chua Soi Lek seemed trying to get across:  abuse of power, conflict of interest, complacency, sheer recklessness ...

In his capacity as a politician, representing (the big brother or the real tuan)  UMNO at that, airing his disappointment over some opinions from his own political comrades, he has the IGP on his side.

The picture disturbs me, an ordinary citizen, just as many statements that came out of the mouth of this politician do.  He threatens his political enemies - and friends alike - while playing with the ambiguity as to whether he is just a benign politician or the sinister in charge of the police.

Are we on the verge of seeing the ISA being invoked, given the charged atmosphere:  what with the 'Ketuanan Melayu' issue being spinned out-of-control, and the Palace seemed so gullibly dragged in?  Furthermore. the GE fever, or fervour, which Najib has brought on, seems to have been doused by a stream of bad omens against it.

The GE is just a mechanism to perpetuate the BN's hold on power.  There is other means too.

The ISA cards could be on the table, and the pretexts have been so nicely designed ...  After all, Najib has also vowed that Putrajaya should be defended at all costs.
