Claiming fake news, Trump declared on Nov 2020 that “he won” the 2020 Presidential Election. Yet, two months later, he started packing and it was game over. Was it Trump, who spread fake news himself about winning the election, when the so-called fake news that he had lost turned out to be real news after all? If indeed he had won, why did he not sue the Electoral College or Joe Biden?
In a nutshell, any news that praised Donald Trump would be categorized as amazing news while those that criticized him would end up as fake news. The former U.S. president used to praise Fox News for “fair” coverage because the channel was able to satisfy his needs. But the traditional Trump-friendly cable network became his punching bag when Fox said Biden was the winner of Arizona.
In an authoritarian country like Myanmar, the solution was pretty easy. Three days after the junta chief – Army Chief General Min Aung Hlaing – seized power via a military coup, the access to Facebook was blocked. The regime claimed the social media, which attracted half of Myanmar’s population of 53 million, was blocked for the sake of “stability”.
The coup was launched after the landslide victory of National League for Democracy and Suu Kyi in national elections in November. It was planned because General Min Aung Hlaing would lose his political power and economic interests, not to mention his family corruptions, as he must transfer power to a new Commander-in-Chief by June 2021 – his retirement deadline.
The regime tried to hoodwink the people of Myanmar, and the international community for that matter, claiming Facebook had to be blocked because people were using the social media platform to spread fake news and misinformation and causing misunderstanding. Would the military shut down the alternate news media if the people had praised the coup instead?
Likewise, when the Malaysian backdoor government quietly bulldozed a new ordinance under the Emergency Ordinance 2021 on Friday (12 March), it was to silence critics. It’s now a criminal offense to publish that the backdoor Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin sought an emergency declaration from the King because his unelected government had lost a parliamentary majority.
Like the Myanmar junta, the Muhyiddin regime cannot stomach the “fact” that they are an illegitimate government. While outgoing Army Chief General Min Aung Hlaing was trying to black-out the alternate news media, backdoor Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin tries to zip the mouth of people. Either way, both dictators wannabe do not want people to say they wear no clothes.
And like narcissist Donald Trump, who cannot take criticisms, Muhyiddin thought if he slaps the fake news label on any news, information, data and reports that suggest his Proclamation of Emergency had nothing to do with Covid-19 pandemic, but everything to do with him clinging to power, he could create the false perception that everything is rosy.
Under the controversial ordinance, those convicted of spreading “fake news” on the pandemic or the national emergency can face 3 years in prison and a maximum penalty of RM100,000. Obviously, such heavy penalties were designed to intimidate, bully, threaten, suppress, oppress and rape the freedom of speech, the people’s right and the democracy.
But how does the backdoor government determine if a piece of news is fake or otherwise? That’s incredibly easy. Taking a page from Trump’s rule of law, any news that praised Muhyiddin sky high would be categorized as amazing news while those that criticized him would end up as fake news. The best part is, the PM thought he currently lives in the era of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Like the Gestapo, the Nazi Germany’s political police force, it appears that the dictatorship of Muhyiddin has already started using the Royal Malaysia Police to spread fear. On the same day de-facto Law Minister Takiyuddin Hassan announced the law, it was revealed that police have investigated 214 “fake news” cases. This is arguably worse than the Myanmar military junta.
It’s actually “NOT” fake news that the Perikatan Nasional government shamelessly sought an emergency declaration because his unelected government had lost a simple majority support in the Parliament. To prove it is astonishingly simple. If the prime minister hasn’t lost his majority, why is he so fearful of testing his legitimacy through a vote of confidence in the Parliament?
Heck, Malaysia is the only country in the world that has declared an emergency as well as locking up the Parliament under the pretext of fighting Coronavirus. Now that 99% of business sectors – casinos, 4D and jackpot shops, cinemas, schools and even spas and reflexology as well as pedicure and manicure centres – are allowed to reopen, Parliament remains closed indefinitely.
With prima facie, just to make it more dramatic, established against the dictatorial leadership of Muhyiddin, the burden of proof has now shifted from the people to the illegitimate government. The people have successfully established the fact beyond reasonable doubt that the government is still locking the Parliament because it had lost a parliamentary support.
So can the government now prove the emergency rule, which is still in effect despite plunging Coronavirus new cases, was not meant to help it cling to power? There’s only one way to prove it – reopen the Parliament now. It was actually the Muhyiddin government who spread fake news that it did not seek an emergency declaration because it had lost a simple majority.
It’s quite amazing that despite his decades of experience in politics, the prime minister would make a silly mistake of using an excuse like fake news to make an enemy out of 33 million people. Every Tom, Dick and hamsters knew the current government is illegitimate. But for some reasons, Muhyiddin still wanted to insult the people’s intelligence by forcing them to believe he did not lose his support.
In fact, Muhyiddin’s new partner, Gerakan president Dominic Lau, has just admitted that the current Perikatan Nasional government is a backdoor government, hence illegitimate. The silly Lau said – “It does not matter if the government came through the back door or the front door as long as it’s doing a good job.” Of course, bootlicker Dominic hopes to be appointed as a Senator.
Interestingly, the disgraced former PM Najib Razak too had pushed to outlaw fake news before the 2018 General Election in an attempt to silence critics over his 1MDB scandal. Instead, it backfired and people got more determined to vote him out. Like Muhyiddin’s legitimacy issue, the 1MDB scandal has refused to die down despite Najib’s consistent denials of any wrongdoing
Eventually, despite Najib’s fake news law to suppress and oppress freedom of speech, he was toppled and lost stunningly. There are two reasons why Muhyiddin repeats the same mistake as his former boss – his advisers were incredibly dumb or he was tremendously desperate. Either way, the fake news will backfire. It will do more harm than good to his already fragile government.
Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, said – “This is a straightforward gag rule that is designed to stop any discussion of the state of emergency proclamation and Covid-19-related actions by the government. Quite clearly, Prime Minister Muhyiddin is scared of allowing the Malaysian people to freely express their views because he knows how critical they are of him and his faltering government.”

Moo should actually be left alone to run his term, ruin Malaysia like all our fcuked up politicians would.
After all, when PH came to “Save Malaysia”, it ended up with Moo!
Had PH not been such a fcuked up bunch of rotten arseh*les, they wouldn’t have caused the rise of Moo.
Having been shoved a nice one up their butth*les by Moo, PH should cease being such lousy loser deadbeats, quit sulking, and quit the endless bitching against Moo, stop tripping him with childish kacau kacau, admire the short fella for his nice coup well executed!
Meanwhile, do best with great ideas of how to handle Covid, run country well, you don’t have to be in gomen first to come up with your endless great ideas.
Oh I forgot, before Moo did his coup, didn’t you PH monkeys got yourself properly fcuked by the Snake Pharaoh Dr Monster who as Dear Atuk Dear Leader ousted himself from gomen first?!
If PH returns, we’d probably see Arseh*le Anwar do his usual maverick great wonder, fcuk himself out of gomen too!
It’s obvious that you are a Pakatan Harapan supporter who could not get over the fact that Muhyiddin politically outflanked Anwar Ibrahim to become PM#8.
Instead of griping about Muhyiddin’s “illegal government”, why not think about whether or not Anwar Ibrahim has the right qualities and capabilities to lead Malaysia, even if Pakatan Harapan can wrest control back from Muhyiddin?
From what I can see so far, Malaysians have been betting on the wrong horse in Anwar Ibrahim for the past 23 years! Anwar is a catastrophic loser. He has never pulled off anything important successfully. Just look at his track record … long list of failures!!!
Even in the last GE, he didn’t win it for Pakatan Harapan. It was Tun Mahathir (much to people’s disgust) who turned the tide and brought PH across the finished line of simple majority in Parliament. And that too was a very, very tough battle for Malaysians. Remember all those pre-election rallies, how Malaysians from all over the country and the world come together to throw out Barisan Nasional? Anwar was languishing in jail at that time. Everyone else in Pakatan Harapan and Tun Mahathir were working their arxx off to get in the votes.
And when Anwar was release from jail after the GE, what did he do? He grab a parliament seat and then started a 22-month campaign to oust Mahathir. He was undermining a government of his own team simply because he wanted to be the captain! And when Mahathir resigned as demanded, and Anwar was out-maneuvered by Muhyiddin, he blamed Mahathir instead! Anwar lost the Pakatan Harapan government and threw the people’s hardworked into the sewer because of his lust for the prime ministership!
If Anwar is really that great, that capable, as Pakatan Harapan supporters believe, he would not have failed to become prime minister even after 23 years! Fact is he can only make speeches and quote from the Quran. He has no intellect, no vision, no workable strategies, no roadmap, no clue how to execute anything important or big! He knows only how to make deals, just like small time wheeler dealers.
It is time for Pakatan Harapan supporters to ditch Anwar Ibrahim, and look for a new leader; if they really expect that Pakatan Harapan can make real difference and real changes for the people and country.
Of course, there’s the choice of continuing to be loyal to Anwar, continue to gripe about how the prime ministership and government was stolen by the ‘backdoor Muhyiddin’. That is the mentality of opposition politicians … griping and complaining because it is far much easier than to be in government where they have to implement solutions and risk success or failure; and the wrath of the ordinary people.
My suggestion to you … stop complaining about Muhyiddin, until Pakatan Harapan has a new credible leader capable of taking over from Muhyiddin to run the country better. Otherwise, it will be just demanding to replace the wine in an old bottle.
@ Salleh, first off, I am not enamoured with Anwar too, he talks more than he can deliver. But then, that Dr in the house too had failed spectacularly in so many of those grandiose projects that he was so fond of….a whole slew of huge schemes which needed bailing out after losing billions and no one even get to be held accountable, let alone going to jail for which clearly show massive corruption.
But in your rant, it is very noticeable never once you mention that very obvious trait of the doctor. He more than 3 times PROMISED to hand over the PMship to Anwar but he would rather resign as PM than to keep his words. By the by, he d was not made to resign as you tried to imply….he decided to resign by his own accord, shooting himself in the foot and had the audacity to go to the king and expected to be made PM for the third time…talk about being thick-skinned and arrogance !
You also said Anwar had in the 22 months plotted to bring down Mahathir…..please provide some evidence for this. In fact, almost immediately after having won the election, what did Mahathir do ? Did he roll up his sleeves to try to fulfill the manifesto and reform the country ? Nope….he almost immediately went about courting MPs from those very parties PH had defeated, and started a frogging festival to pump up his meagre 13 numbers. Due time this nation destroyer STFU and sit quietly at home to tend to his health.
Mel, I am not a fan of Mahathir but I don’t want to waste time listing his faults or what he did in the past. No point griping about the past. He’s in his 90s. Malaysia of the future does not have a place for him for long due to his age.
But Anwar Ibrahim is selling himself as THE future for Malaysia. Anwar is still selling himself as the rightful prime minister of Malaysia. The person who is destined to save Malaysians.
I am saying Anwar does not have any qualities or capabilities to be prime minister. The clearest evidence is that he is still trying after 23 years. Malaysians must look for others to lead among the 32 million Malaysians.
“… sit quietly at home to tend to his health”
Just fcuking die, and standing up, is more than fine by me.
I am placing bets with our underground bookies the Snake Pharaoh Dr Monster won’t last the year.
And I’m praying for that, first time I pray too, Ameen.
Out of my kind wish, when the zombie snake kicks the bucket, I’ll donate towards an old fcuking Proton for his burial, Alhamdulilah!
@ Paul Wolfobitch…..hehe, I was trying to be polite when saying that our Bolehland Machiavelli ‘sit quietly at home….’. LOL
But I do think he ought NOT to kick to bucket too soon, karma is more fun when we get to see kicking himself for landing himself in this loss of power.
This old tupai had lompat successfully once too often and now finally we see him fall flat to the ground, all of his own making. Let him suffer bitterly at home, let him rue the day when he himself divest himself, by his own hand, all this power which obviously he was so addicted to. Let him suffer tremendous withdrawal syndrome of this power which he had thrived on.
Moo is becoming more and more like our original Hitler, the off-white dark brown Snake Pharaoh Dr Monster, who was and still is a dictator wannabe, and who didn’t hesitate to declare emergency and made arrests and imprisonment of anyone whom he didn’t like.
Malaysian old enough when the dark brown Hitler stomped Malaysia would be used to another dictatorship, going by what our other politicans and political parties are – meaning just as fcuking garbage and just as fcuking useless, clueless, and worthless, I’ve to say there ain’t going to be what most of us haven’t been through.
Apart from that fcuking bullsh*tter Anwar coming up yet again with his number game, and the famous Snake Pharaoh making a pain of himself, everything is going to be quite normal, meaning painfully boring and irritating for most of our barely awake monkeys. Our fcuking bunch of bastards ain’t gonna die like it’d be the best thing ever that they should, we’d have to put up with the usual pain in the arse – as we put up with the pain in our arms if the politicians have not stolen and ran off with the money for the covid vaccines.
I won’t rank shorty Moo as any worse than that fcuking arseh*le Anwar, or that even worse arseh*le the Snake Pharaoh Dr Monster even if he’s got Lim Khat Siang and Baby Doc StaLim Guano Eng stuck up his rear entrance!
So, Moo, stay on and do your natural worse. If not, some other arseh*les will do that for you! There shouldn’t be any difficulty picking an arseh*le or an arseh*le or an arseh*le politician, in a democracy such as ours, there are always a big selection of arseh*les to ruin our country, Malaysiaboleh!
Oh, there may be one arseh*le less to play thé PM monkey, I doubt the Snake Pharaoh would be around beyond year end, the underground odds in recent times are against the zombie, I will have to place my bet soon, bless my bet, Almighty Moolah Hardly Awank, Fisher of Men!
