Gutless : Anwar deserves the sentence, this not an issue of political conspiracy, but an issue of corruption YesMan : This is an issue of corruption, that is why only bad people go to prison and the good guys should keep their cabinet post right? Gutless : Don't get me wrong, the government has its fault too. YesMan : Yeah, sure but it's much harder to critise the powerful. Gutless : ...I mean, what did Anwar do when he was in the government? If the government is so corrupt why didn't he do anything about it all these years? I didn't hear him complaining then. YesMan : Yeah, Anwar didn't do anything and he didn't speak out against corruption. That is why the cabinet members don't like him, he's too obidient. The only reason why other government officials are kept is because the speak out againts corruption and they absolutely hate nepotism. Gutless : Are you mocking me now? Why only after all this has happened that Anwar is making a fuss? He just wants to be the Prime Minister. YesMan : Exactly! Ironic isn't it, one second "Anwar didn't do anything" and now Anwar did too much for his own good. By the way, if Anwar couldn't change the system when he was the deputy Prime Minister, why are you complaining about his silence when he was the Agriculture Minister? He was the second most powerful man in Malaysia and still they did this to him, now isn't it too much of an expectation for him to reform the government when he was still small time Menteri Pertanian? Gutless : Why are you calling me gutless? YesMan : There are real scared Malaysians who don't know what to think of this situation. But, that's only normal and understandable since we don't have a history of large scale national socio political turmoil. However, there are many of us who just don't bother to think or are too afraid to think. The easiest way out of this moral and mind dilema is too make excuses and conform to what seems to be a more dominant force, which not necessarily be correct. Hence, the gutless comes out with so many excuses so they won't have to face the burden of making decisions. The strategy is to block any other arguments that could make you think beyond normal conformity and create excuses to wrong the weaker side Gutless : You just want people to go out on the streets and demonstrate. Are demonstrators are the only brave and heroic people? YesMan : No, demonstrating is only one form of bravery. What we should work on is people like you...being brave in the Malay mind framework most importantly mean that we should be brave enough to think independently and objectively without the any social conformity pressure. Just being able to see the injustice being done in our country is already a big form of bravery...you know, not many people are willing to admit to themselves that something is wrong with this country. Gutless : You are just plain crazy...you must be being paid by some foreign government YesMan : Yes, I am...I am also under the payroll of the Government of Mars and Neptune Gutless : I'm a Malay man, you know better than to call a Malay guy gutless! YesMan : Yeah, so typical...I am Malay man too, I know what it's like being macho and brave in front of the weak and being chicken in face of the powerful. In fact, sometimes my ego gets so challenge, I would straight out blame the weak instead of confronting the real source of the problem. My SB police and FRU brothers menifest this true macho attitude ...beat them till they can't walk because they can't fight back, a true macho malay guy. You have to excuse me, I have to go. You should go play with kids your own age in mentality like the Hishamudin Hussiens and the UMNO youths. I am sure you all would confirm each other's excuses.
