Again, no surprise. I hope Murray Hunter is OK and, knowing him, he won't let any Thai or Malaysian thugs, from their respective thuggish regimes, cajole him into desisting his criticisms of these countries' politics. The entire region claims to be "democratic" when the world knows that's a load of horseshit that comes straight from the horse's mouth. In a region littered with liars, the corrupt, the kleptocratic, the autocratic, the racist, nobody believes even in their "elections" which the likes of the mealymouth Anwar Ibrahim likes to tell the world that his country is a "democracy". Democracy my ass! With the Hunter episode, it's the first -- I think -- of transnational state persecution. It's also not surprising that Anwar's Joseph Goebbels aka Fahmi, the so-called tzar of Malaysia's Communications Ministry of Lies, has gone after Hunter. Guess the maggot cannot stand the heat in his kitchen so he arms his goons in the country to mess with the rights of the media in his country and has now signed up the infinitely corrupt Thai police to do the infinite coward Anwar's bidding too. It's the old play -- bring the editors and their media businesses to heel, to bow before Anwar to kiss his -- yuk! -- ass, to submit to the draconian regime that lives behind the theater curtains of despicable lies, half-truths and illiberalism. Fahmi, like Anwar and their other moronic goon, home minister Nasution, who can't tell his ass from his elbow 24/7, make the so-called philosophy of "madani" skits for comedy. Little wonder why more and more of non-Malays and possibly as many as a third of Malays do not trust anything these Three Stooges of Malaysia say or do, especially when the "boss" has himself walked backed promised reforms while protecting the big fish of corruption. His entire regime, like every other regime since 1970/71, is hopelessly corrupt, but the corrupt is who he Anwar either relies on on the basis of continuing Malay patronage structures that are fantastically corrupt and hideously racist.
