...and I am with you all the way, aisehman!

If only my father in law was the Prime Minister too...can talk also lah. Talk is cheap. It cost nothing. Find the best ghost writers too.

Keep up the good work Aisehman. Late MGG Pillai was a true son. A soul that could not be corrupted. May our friend now rest in peace forever. Sorry but had to mention this as am really feeling sad. A great loss to Malaysian journalism. May God bless his soul. Amen.

I thought Khairy is over-exposing himself to more of the sort of stuff he is trying hard to avoid with THAT article. Not a very clever thing to do for someone who is supposed to be so very clever.

Nice diatribe. Is KJ trying to light the fire within his clique of young thugs..oh, sorry..turks.
Comparing Malaysian politicians to early caliphs, etc..c'mon, man, is he kidding?
Fact is, KJ is on the gravy train. Once in a while, the train stops, he gets out to smell the roses and try to smell like one. Lemme see...nope..I can still smell the PONG.

Ooooo, the kid is getting sensitive! Hey, KJ, isn't it true that politics is all about amassing wealth ? Oxford would have taught you that. Amassing wealth through nepotism and cronyism is not popular, especially after everyone criticises Mahathir for condoning such things. So if you want to continue amassing wealth as a son-in-law of AAB, you better learn to be thick-skinned.

Politic is a science but it is also an Art..in a word Politic is the arts of the possible...If you did not get into politic you can never continue to learn the ever changing science of politic..As an Art it is getting interesting day by day..KJ is young, His dad is a great leader of a sort [ was a PTD officer and head many ministries before he retired ] His Father in Law is an experience Politian.. so I believe He is learning the rope. He has leadership in his gene. My advice to KJ is be smart and play politic well...

KJ: Why don't you comment on the real things that affect the ordinary citizen ? Why don't you give comments on why every project that is undertaken in the name of the government has gone up in price by hundreds of millions without any transparency or accountability ? Why don't you comment on the gravy train that you are on ?

From the clown in DBKL who approves of the Lake Garden renovations, to the clown Semi Value whose mouth is faster (and more expensive) than his brain, to your fellow UMNOputras who get awarded APs as though nothing ever happened, to your buddy and business associate Kaleemullah who tries to put a positive spin on everything your father-in-law does, why should it surprise you that there is so much anger amongst the rakyat ?

Frankly, I don't see anything new here, a young upstart politician who then learn things are not as easy as it seems. What surprise me is not that his personal discovery but the fact that he think he think he has somehow learned the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I think he has not. All these stuff about ideas and wanting to change things and to be counted shows self-delusion. The smartest politicians understand that they don't change anything but rather an agent of change and exploiter of opportunities. The most successful ones are the ones who spot the opportunities first not those that actually made anything new.

He is still deluded about who is he frankly.

"Not many other politicians have weathered the beating that I have taken in such a short period of time"

Maybe KJ should also know that the nation has also "weathered the beating" meted out by the feudal lords who have been at the helm over the last 30 + years. And the scars are telling: crass cronynism, spectacular failures in corporations run by them, shady deals leading to failed projects running into hundreds of millions, an "ethnically cleansed" government apparatus, an education system that spits out unemployables ... the list goes on. Wonder whether he has the license to address these in his column?

I cried...big time.
This Kid is getting ridiculous by the day.
How can one believes one's own publicity ?
Shameful...and all that Oxbridge Education to boot.

KJ - I strongly suggest that you grow UP.
You are not a Rock Star !!! We dont need to know your sufferings - Light the Fire ...Tell you what - you're on the most dangerous Dope man. POWER !!!

Orang Melayu ada Budi Bahasa tau tak !!

KJ,

Tip:
Contemplate The 8th Habit.
The secret to new world success.

What did this KJ fellow did in Oxford? Dramas and Plays? Coz he did, I'm sure he got an 'F'. Yeah 'F' for fail and 'F' for the oher thing. Dollah, what did you get yourself into? I thought it was every father's responsibility to marry their daughters off to good, law abiding, god fearing human being beings but why Dollah, why? You associate yourself with the likes of (what did that guy call the clown?)semi value, that car thing, UMNO thugs, and all the fallen angels who filled pandemonium, not to mention kissed the biggest devil's arse (the now retired head Hantu Mahathir Mohamad)and now you do it to your daughter by marrying her off to a clown who is aspiring to be a poet, a fool who things that hiding behind a taugeh sprout would render him invisible. Wait till your father hear of this Dollah, you are gonna get it. As for KJ, common guys, life is hard enough as it is, what with the shrinking ringgit and all lets enjoy the clown while he is still around. And you guys out there who did you vote for during the last election? Hey its about time to point he finger at yourself. As if you don't know that if you voted the opposition PAS would not get the 2/3s to change he country's constitiution, DAP would not have enough to change this country to a mini Taiwan or Singapore. Common guys its us who's to blame. All this 'he does this, he steals that' and when comes the time to cast the ballot you put your mark against the dacing.

A man with an ambition is a man with goals. Many are blind to the fact that KJ is also human, and not entirely beyond the rest of us. The same goes to the Old Man in retirement.

It is easy to say what KJ should do or should have done. That's what we can say of DSAI or Pak Lah. So the NST column brims with youthful idealism tempered with reality and ego as well as personality - the ones who read can decide what to make out of it.

Many wouldn't have lasted a minute longer with the kind of public scrutiny, opinions and press coverage on their lives.

All hope is not lost.

"You chose this life less ordinary because you want to stand up and be counted. You took the plunge because you have something to say. Say it. Do it. And never stop fighting until the fight is done. Light the fire."

In some ways all of usen taken the same path, we have decided to stand up and say something we believe in and be counted for it.

Now we just have to continue fighting in what we believe in "till the fight is done".

"Light the fire" as he said it. Just pray that we don't turn this country into an inferno.

KJ seems to be gathering his political base in style. First it was the Halal project, then its MyTeam, now its "Name-That-Flag-With-The-Keris".

Heh. I wonder how well he will fare without bapa mertua...?
