Panas makin panas

This poem is for all who attended Protes on 6.7.2008:

Panas makin panas

Panas makin panas
panas bukan setakat panas sang suria
panas bukan setakat panas lantaran kebocoran ozon
panas bukan setakat air mendidih
panas bukan setakat panas bak pengembara di gurun

Panas makin panas
panas kini makin panas di pentas sandiwara
panas kini dirasa antara politikus yang mengejar kekuasaan
panas kini makin panas dengan tuduhan fitnah liwat-meliwat
panas kini makin panas antara Islam dan Islam Hadhari
panas kini makin panas dengan gertakan dan lompatan katak politikus
panas kini makin panas pabila mantan pembesar negara membuka bicara mengutuk tindakan pewarisnya
panas kini makin panas hinggakan peruntukan bertambah

panas makin panas
bila harga petrol naik mendadak
hati rakyat bukan panas tapi menggelegak
siapa tak panas?
Jika bisa naik kereta kini naik motor
jika bisa naik motor kini bersesak dalam komuter, LRT dan bas
Jika bisa bersesak dalam komuter, LRT dan bas masakan boleh berjalan kaki

Panas makin panas
bila wang RM100 hilang nilai satu ratusnya
panas makin panas
bila rakyat disuruh berjimat sedangkan kerajaan boros
panas makin panas
sedangkan rakyat tidak lagi bercuti, anak bini politikus sibuk terbang dari Australia ke Singapura
panas makin panas
jangan sampai hati rakyat bergelora
kerana kesannya akan bagaikan kejatuhan Marcos di Filipina
dan kejatuhan Pak Soeharto di Indonesia

."Opposition is playing dirty politics"

I saw that statement in the news roll on Bernama TV on July 05 2008. Look who is talking. It was stated by Najib, our Deputy Prime Minister who is being implicated in the Altantuya murder via two statutory declarations - Raja Petra Kamarudin of Malaysia Today and P Balasubramaniam's flipsy flopsy statutory declaration. In the initial stages of the Altantuya murder trial, the prosecution team also went ot great length to state Najib's non involvement.

I am not an Anwarista but it would be best for Najib to keep a low profile and eventually back off from claiming the title of prime minister-in-waiting instead of giving such a statement.
