THE ENEMY WITHIN

My reply to Rocky Bru’s blog yesterday

To-day super planes and other high tech expensive armories with big precision bombs cause so much destruction, annihilation and much collateral damage that are unacceptable to mankind. The war is won not from the air or sea but on the ground by the people determined. The wars in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Hezbollah vs Israel are but some examples.

Even if we ever do match our defenses with those from Singapore, we may loose if there is “the enemy within”. The best case in local history was the fall of Malacca where the cause was blamed on a woman’s passion; there was treachery within our midst.

In the event of the inevitable, Singapore does invade Malaysia, we the people will beat them back with our determination and souls against any occupation on the assumption we are united and not lean towards merely Jihad (the call for battle) but the greater Jihad (the fight against selfishness etc in overcoming one’s base desires).

.

To-day Malaysia is unlikely to fall to Singapore because of jihad but because there are amongst the population who succumb to their base desires of greed for money, wealth, “women, wine and song”, lust for power, position, personal interest etc against the better interest of our country; they are simply called traitors. Some of these could already be prevalent in the case of IR, Pulau Batu Putih, sale of certain portions of nation’s strategic investments, case of the crooked bridge just to name a few. Insider information and not sending a credible team to challenge, are they not sabotages, examples of treachery?

I recently attended a financial investment seminar where the speakers being professional investment managers directly blamed the present weakling Executive for the doldrums in the market and the continued deterioration of the economy. As our economy deteriorates and our position to negotiate falters to the brink, we will continue loosing to Singapore.

Aren’t those not calling for immediate leadership transition not the real “enemies within” when the facts are so plain to see – those wanting the weakling to stay on are merely kidding themselves for their selfish personal interest?; Singapore need not to lift a finger to beat off Malaysia, anytime and anywhere when the two leadership share so much “love” for each other and where treachery lurks rampantly.
