THE RULE OF LAW

1. The rule of law is an integral part of democracy. Malaysia today is no longer a democracy. Therefore we cannot see the rule of law being upheld.

2. Laws are meant to protect the citizens. What we see in Malaysia is laws being abused so that instead of protecting people laws are used to suppress and oppress people.

3. There is a law on official secrets. It is meant to keep secret certain documents regarding policies or decisions which the Government may or may not take at a given time in the future. If leaked, the Government’s freedom to decide would be constrained. It is not meant to hide from the public criminal acts.

4. But we have seen how reports regarding 1MDB and the 2.6 billion Ringgit in Najib’s bank account are declared to be Government secrets. These are about criminal acts. The law is used wrongly to hide possible crimes, crimes which need to be investigated.

5. Then the law allows the police to detain and even jail a person for wrongdoings. But when a person reported that there was something wrong with the management of 1MDB money, the person reporting was detained and charged as a terrorist.

6. There are due processes to be followed when a person is to be detained by the police. But the processes were just ignored. Again the laws are not upheld. They are being abused.

7. There is no law which empower Government agencies to demand for extra payment of taxes when all due payments have already been paid. But the tax authorities threaten to carry out raids on the premises, seize account books and take away passports if the extra tax are not paid. The people are being held to ransom.

8. The extra tax demanded run into tens of millions or even hundreds. Should the taxpayers refuse to pay and decide to go to court, until the court decides the taxpayer must pay. The legal process will take years. In the mean time companies cannot do business.

9. Members of the administrative staff are constantly being ordered to do work that is not proper or legal. If they refuse they would be demoted, transferred or threatened with loss of pension.

10. Extra-legal actions are demanded of the staff. When they refuse they may face punitive action. One senior officer was forced to resign, having been declared unfit to work by the PM. This frightens other officers should they incur the displeasure of the Prime Minister.

11. This is the situation faced by the peoples of Malaysia today. The laws do not protect them anymore. The laws are not upheld. In fact the laws are abused and are used to threaten people and to hold them to ransom.

12. The people dare not speak or protest against this abuse of power. They are afraid they would be victimised further. Without the rule of law they live in fear.

13. Their only hope lies in overthrowing the BN Government in the next election. Even here they are being threatened. The law says the vote is secret. The BN is passing the rumour that they would know who is voting for whom. They threaten those who do not vote for BN.

14. But the voters should disregard this rumour. The vote is secret. The BN Government will not know who you are voting for. So don’t be afraid. Government employees in particular should not be afraid. Don’t vote for BN. Whether they win or lose they cannot do anything to you.

15. But if you give your vote to Pakatan Harapan, when PH win we will compensate those people who had been victimised by the BN Government, both those in the Government and in the private sector.

16. So vote PH to restore the rule of law and democracy.

NAJIB’S FEAR

1. Najib says Pakatan Harapan will be squabbling over who should be the Prime Minister if it wins. He seems to think that the four parties in the coalition cannot work together.

2. If he thinks so, why is he so afraid to register Pakatan Harapan, the coalition of the four opposition parties. Application for registration by PH has not been answered. He knows very well time is of the essence. The coalition has to use the same symbol in the ballot papers. It is important for the symbol to be well-known to the voters. BN’s and PAS symbols are well-known, having been around for more than half a century. Voters would not know the PH symbol unless it is promoted a long time before voting day.

3. On the other hand if the coalition is rejected now the four parties would be able to promote the alternative symbol they would use. Not knowing whether the coalition and it’s symbol would be approved or not puts the four parties in a quandary. They need to produce flags and banners etc, in their own names and symbols. If at the last moment the coalition is approved, much money would have been wasted. More money would have to be spent on producing common flags and buntings with the coalition symbols.

4. Najib knows very well that he has cut off funds for the opposition parties. They cannot waste the little money they have. But Najib has tonnes of money not only to pay for the flags and buntings but for corruption as well.

5. This is what Najib is doing. Every effort is made, legal or illegal, moral or immoral to sabotage the opposition.

6. It is not going to be a bersih election. If Najib wins you will get a thoroughly unprincipled PM, who is prepared to cheat in election and in his management of the country. You have already seen the scandals involving Najib, the huge loses of Government money, the huge debt he has burdened the country with. He has lost money belonging to the EPF, the Pension Fund, Felda money and Tabung Haji money. On the other hand he lives a lavish life-style with pink diamond rings and Hermes bags for his wife.

7. He sells Government land to pay debts. He borrows money to pay interest on his borrowing. It is just changing one lender for another. The huge debts are still there. Total debts now exceed 900 billion Ringgit. He will borrow more. He does not care that the nation will have to pay the debts.

8. If he is reelected he will continue to borrow more. Despite high exports and GDP, he has to squeeze the people for more money. He introduced the GST and other taxes. His tax people are demanding for more tax payments from individuals and companies without any basis. Companies and businesses, big and small are closing down. People have to pay more because of high cost of living. They don’t have money left for shopping or eating out.

9. Things can only get worse as he borrows more money for the East Coast Railway and the High Speed Railway.

10. 1MDB debts of billions are now passed on to the Ministry of Finance. We don’t hear of any profits from the operation of 1MDB, only losses. And we really don’t know where the billions he has borrowed and siphoned from KWSP, KWAP, Felda, Tabung Haji, have gone to. We have not been shown any audit that is credible.

11. Najib has to be stopped. The voters must come out in full force to reject BN and give their support to Pakatan Harapan. Do not vote for PAS either. They are only shunting away anti-BN votes so as to reduce support for PH. Actually PAS is supporting BN and Najib.

12. Voters may be confused by PH having so many symbols because it has not been approved. But you are safe if you don’t vote for the weighing scale and the moon.

HIDUP DALAM KETAKUTAN

1. Tidak pernah dalam sejarah Malaysia yang begitu ramai orang berada dalam ketakutan. Di zaman Jepun pun kita tidak berasa begitu takut.

2. Tetapi sekarang perasaan takut ini dirasai oleh ramai pegawai dan kakitangan Kerajaan, peniaga kecil dan besar dan orang biasa.

3. Apakah yang ditakuti oleh mereka. Mereka takut Najib. Pegawai dan kakitangan Kerajaan takut mengatakan yang benar kerana takut jika tidak disukai oleh Najib. Mereka takut mereka didera oleh Najib. Mereka takut dibuang kerja. Mereka takut diturun pangkat atau ditukar ke jawatan lain. Mereka takut apabila bersara tidak ada peluang jadi pengarah dalam syarikat Kerajaan.

4. Peniaga kecil dan besar takut sesuatu dilakukan kepada mereka jika mereka dilihat terlalu dekat dengan parti lawan atau pemimpin parti lawan. Ada yang diberi amaran supaya menjauhkan diri dari orang tertentu yang dianggap musuh Kerajaan.

5. Apakah yang boleh dilakukan terhadap yang ingkar. Bank tidak akan beri pinjaman. Jika diberi pun bermacam soalan dikenakan. Kontrak Kerajaan tidak mungkin diluluskan. Yang sudah dapat akan ditamatkan.

6. Bagi peniaga besar LHDN, Kastam atau Badan Pencegah Rasuah akan lawat. Mereka menyerbu dengan ramai pegawai untuk menggeledah pejabat. Walaupun sudah bayar semua cukai pendapatan atau cukai kastam, tambahan dituntut oleh pegawai. Tuntutan tambahan ini tidak berasas tetapi dituntut juga.

7. Jika tidak bayar buku-buku akaun mungkin dirampas, kononnya untuk diperiksa. Ini mengganggu perniagaan. Tuntutan tambahan ini kadang-kadang meningkat hingga berjuta ringgit. Peniaga tidak dapat bayar. Maka syarikat mungkin disenarai hitam dan pasport pengurus ditahan. Buku akaun akan dirampas dan perniagaan tergendala.

8. Bagi yang mendapat PTPTN, bayaran bulanan dinaikkan. Bagi yang tidak ada punca pendapatan, bayaran bulanan tidak dapat dibuat. Maka mereka tidak dibenar keluar negeri. Mereka akan ditahan apabila menunjuk pasport mereka semasa pemeriksaan oleh pegawai imigresen.

9. Ahli dan pemimpin kecil UMNO tidak berani berjumpa dengan ahli parti lawan. Umumnya ramai orang biasa yang tidak berani dilihat menyertai parti lawan, jauh sekali dari memegang jawatan dalam parti lawan.

10. Walaupun undi dirahsiakan tetapi masih ada usaha untuk kelirukan rakyat bahawa Kerajaan tahu siapa mengundi siapa. Dengan itu mereka takut mengundi lain dari BN.

11. Mereka yang menerima elaun yang tidak ada dalam jadual (nelayan umpamanya) atau BR1M takut mereka dikeluarkan dari senarai kelayakan.

12. Terdapat ramai orang yang membisik apabila bercakap berkenaan perasan tidak puas hati dengan Kerajaan. Mereka takut Najib akan dengar dan tindakan diambil ke atas mereka.

13. Akhbar dan majalah, cetak dan elektronik juga takut lesen mereka ditarik balik jika membuat laporan berkenaan perkara tertentu. Seperti ahli dan pemimpin UMNO, mereka elak dari menyebut berkenaan 1MDB dan wang sebanyak 2.6 billion Ringgit dalam akaun peribadi Najib. Mesyuarat agung UMNO membisu berkenaan perkara-perkara yang menyentuh kenyataan oleh Jabatan Keadilan Amerika terhadap Najib. Mereka takut Najib marah.

14. Sesungguhnya rakyat Malaysia takut Najib. Ada mereka yang tahu akan salahlaku Najib kerana mereka berperanan menyediakan dokumen-dokumen bersangkutan dengan perlakuan salah oleh Najib, tetapi tidak berani menyatakan apa-apa.

15. Dilihat jelas bahawa hampir semua rakyat Malaysia berada dalam ketakutan kerana Najib dapat mengguna pegawai dan jabatan-jabatan dalam Kerajaan untuk menyeksa mereka. Yang amat menyedihkan ialah kakitangan Kerajaan di semua peringkat takut jika mereka tidak lakukan arahan Najib, walaupun arahan ini bertentangan dengan undang-undang negara, mereka dikenakan tindakan oleh Najib.

16. Ya. Sekarang ini rakyat Malaysia berada dalam ketakutan. Mereka takut Najib. Jika kerana takut Najib mereka pangkah BN, maka BN terus akan menang, maka akan berterusanlah iklim takut di Malaysia.

NEGATING THE ELECTION

1. Najib must know the whole country is against him. His chances of winning the 14th G.E. are almost nil.2. He also knows the direct consequences for him if he loses. He would be charged in court and he may find himself in jail.

3. Knowing all these, he must make sure he would not lose. By hook and most certainly by crook he must win.

4. One of the things he is likely to do if he loses by a small margin is to declare a state of emergency and to suspend parliament. He would set up a Mageran type of Government and rule the country by decree.

5. To do this he will need the support of mainly the army chief and the police chief.

6. When Marcos was ruling the Philippines as a dictator, he had the support of army and police chiefs. But when he caused Aquino to be assassinated, the chiefs withdrew their support. With that the people took to the streets and demanded the removal of Marcos as President. The people power movement was successful because Marcos had lost the support of the chiefs.

7. In Malaysia currently the Inspector General of Police and Chief of the armed forces are supporters of the Prime Minister or at least are compliant to what he does. Even when he clearly breaks the law they appear not to be concerned.

8. Najib’s misrule is far more serious than Marcos. There is clear evidence that he has stolen Government money. In the eyes of the world his abuse of power is acknowledged. Najib’s Malaysia is described as a kleptocracy, not a democracy any more. The rule of law is blatantly ignored by Najib. Corruption by him is rampant.

9. The question is whether the support would continue if he seizes power following the election. At this moment the people believe the possibility is real, very real. Only an overwhelming victory of the opposition will prevent this.

10. If Najib wins the consequences would be terrible. This country will become bankrupt as total debt now is almost one trillion Ringgit. Najib has been selling chunks of Malaysia in order to pay debts. All the best land have been sold. There will come a time when he would not be able to raise money to pay debts. When that time comes, Malaysia would become a bankrupt country.

PEPSI ATAU COKE

1. Terkejut saya apabila diberitahu pemilihan dalam PRU 14 ini tidak lebih dari pemilihan antara Pepsi Cola dengan Coca Cola. Oleh itu apa perlunya kita mengundi.

2. Begitu rendahkah kebolehan kita berfikir dan membuat bandingan? Jika ditanya antara Proton dengan Rolls Royce, yang mana satu yang nak dipilih? Mana-mana sahajalah. Apa bezanya antara Proton dengan Rolls Royce. Kedua-duanya kereta bermotor, tak lebih dari itu.

3. Keputusan yang dibuat ialah untuk tidak membeli Proton atau Rolls Royce. Kereta bermotor boleh terlibat dengan kemalangan. Adalah lebih baik berjalan kaki.

4. Tetapi semasa melintas jalan sahabat ini tergilis dengan sebuah kereta – kereta Rolls Royce.

5. Dia tak tahu kerana dah maut. Sebenarnya Rolls Royce itu dipandu pencuri kereta itu.

6. Ini cerita dongeng. Tetapi cerita ini sama dengan membuat pilihan antara Pepsi Cola dengan Coca Cola.

7. Samada cerita ini dapat difahami atau tidak bergantung kepada kebolehan pembaca. Jika kebolehan rendah maka terjadilah tafsiran seperti yang dibuat terhadap soalan saya berkenaan daging babi.

8. Maju mundurnya sesuatu bangsa bergantung kepada daya fikir bangsa itu. Dalam Al Quran berkali-kali terdapat ayat yang menyentuh daya-fikir manusia. Setelah diperdengar wahyu dari Allah, ada yang masih tidak faham dan tidak percaya. Ayat menyoal, tidakkah kamu berfikir, mengguna akal fikiran.

9. Puak yang tidak dapat fikir ini dikenali sebagai puak jahiliah. Jika kita tergolong dalam puak ini, tak mungkin kita bezakan antara yang bertanding. Dan mustahil kita akan maju. Tak hairanlah jika kita tidak akan undi dalam pilihan raya 14. Jika memilih antara Pepsi dengan Coca pun kita tak dapat, apatah lagi antara BN dengan PH. Tentu terlalu berat bagi kita.

10. Oleh itu jangan pilih. Selamatlah kita.

Selamatkah?

Tepuk dada

Tanya selera.

HARAM HALAL

1. Saya dipesan, bahkan dilarang oleh kawan dan musuh supaya tidak berkata apa-apa berkenaan agama Islam, agama saya.

2. Mereka berkata bahawa saya tidak berpelajaran agama dan tidak faham bahasa Arab. Dan saya tidak ternampak sebagai seorang ulama iaitu saya tidak berserban dan berjubah dan tidak pula berkasut selipar.

3. Saya dinasihat supaya dengar sahajalah ajaran dan sharahan yang disampaikan oleh orang yang layak, iaitu orang agama yang terlatih dan berpelajaran agama walaupun setakat pondok di kampung.

4. Saya terima baik nasihat mereka. Saya tidak akan bercakap atau bersyarah.

5. Tetapi saya tidak dilarang bertanya jika ada perkara-perkara yang saya perlu penjelasan dari orang alim dalam agama Islam. Sesungguhnya banyaklah perkara yang mengelirukan saya berkenaan agama Islam.

6. Di antaranya ialah berkenaan haram halal. Saya sejak kecil lagi diberitahu bahawa daging babi haram dimakan oleh orang Islam.

7. Bolehkah saya tanya jika babi disembelih dengan menyebut nama Tuhan, haram lagikah daging babi itu?

8. Susulan dari itu ingin saya tanya lagi. Duit yang dicuri haram atau tidak? Jika haram bolehkah duit itu dihalalkan dengan menggunakannya untuk ibadah haji atau umrah.

9. Jika kita tidak tahu duit itu dicuri salahkah jika duit itu diguna untuk buat ibadat haji? Jika kita tahu bahawa duit itu dicuri, halalkah duit itu jika diguna untuk kerja haji.

10. Semasa saya masih budak-budak, ada fatwa bahawa mayat tidak boleh dimuat atas kereta bermotor. Di waktu jenazah Tunku Ibrahim, regent Kedah dibawa dari Anak Bukit ke Makam diRaja di Langgar, jenazah dimuat di atas sebuah kereta yang ditarik dengan dua tali oleh beberapa orang. Ini saya lihat dengan mata kepala saya sendiri. Saya diberitahu adalah haram memuat jenazah di atas kereta bermotor. Sebabnya ialah kerana motor adalah buatan orang kafir. Tetapi sekarang kereta jenazah semuanya bermotor. Apakah telah jadi kepada fatwa dahulu?

11. Teringat saya kepada sebuah amanat yang mendakwa Kerajaan Malaysia kafir kerana ia mengamal sistem kafir. Sehingga sekarang pihak yang bertanggungjawab berkenaan agama Islam tidak menolak amanat ini. Benarkah Kerajaan Malaysia ini kafir dan perlu tentangan jihad, dan kematian semasa berjuang adalah syahid.

12. Ya banyak lagi dari ajaran Islam dan amalannya yang mengeliru saya. Saya akan tanya sedikit-sedikit.

13. Saya harap saya tidak dinasihat supaya jangan tanya. Saya dengar banyak tazkirah dan syarahan agama oleh “ulama”. Tetapi soal-soal yang saya keliru ini tidak pernah disentuh melainkan oleh orang tertentu yang mempunyai kepentingan lain dari agama Islam.

PAKATAN HARAPAN

1. Pakatan Harapan belum didaftar. Gabungan empat buah parti sehaluan ini telah memohon kepada Pendaftar Pertubuhan untuk didaftar dan logo/simbolnya dilulus tetapi sehingga kini P.H. belum didaftar walaupun berkali-kali P.H. cuba mendapat keputusan Pendaftar.

2. Pendaftar tidak pun jawab surat kami bahkan tidak menyatakan surat permohonan dan surat pertanyaan kami diterima atau tidak. Perjumpaan dengan pendaftar dua kali tidak menghasilkan penjelasan rasmi. Kononnya ada masalah dengan DAP dan Parti Pribumi. Kenyataan juga dibuat oleh Pendaftar kepada orang ramai, tetapi tidak ada surat rasmi menjelaskan apa dianya masalah.

3. Jawapan tertulis tidak pernah diterima dari Pendaftar. Hakikatnya ialah hingga sekarang selepas 7 bulan permohonan dibuat Pakatan Harapan tidak tahu apa kedudukannya. Tanpa kelulusan secara rasmi gabungan kami dan logo/simbolnya, kami tidak dapat bertanding dalam PRU 14 sebagai sebuah gabungan dengan logo/simbol yang sama.

4. Jika kami tidak dapat kelulusan terutama bagi simbol kami, maka kami terpaksa guna simbol masing-masing. Ini akan mengelirukan pengundi.

5. Tidak menjawab tidak bermakna Pendaftar tidak lulus. Parti memerlu masa yang panjang untuk memperkenal simbol dan gabungan kami kepada orang ramai. Jika kelulusan diberi setelah Parlimen dibubar, tidak ada masa bagi kami membuat persiapan.

6. Tidak melulus atau kelulusan lewat yang melemah kami akan menguntungkan BN dan UMNO. Ada unsur mala fide, niat tidak baik dalam tindakan Pendaftar tidak jawab permohonan kami.

7. Sesungguhnyalah sudah tidak ada pentadbiran mengikut undang-undang (the Rule of Law) di Malaysia yang dikuasai oleh Najib.

8. Rakyat perlu ambil perhatian terhadap tindakan Najib untuk menafikan hak rakyat memilih Kerajaan dalam pilihanraya mengikut Perlembagaan Negara.

THE DICTATOR

1. People and the media never fail to point out that I was a dictator. I presided over an authoritarian Government of Malaysia for 22 years. Any mention of my name must be preceded or followed with the qualification “dictator”.

2. Looking back now, I realise why, as Prime Minister of Malaysia I was described as a dictator. There were many things I did which were typically dictatorial.

3. Actually I showed this tendency very early. Upon being appointed as Minister of Education, the first command I made was for the “Menteri” plate above the number plate of my official car to be ripped off. Maybe I feared assassination. I don’t know. But, unlike other democratic ministers I did not have the “Menteri” plate on my car.

4. I also demanded for a six men police escort. But they told me that a minister gets only one plain-clothed policeman. I warned them to wait until I became Prime Minister.

5. When I became Prime Minister I demanded for UTK (Special Forces) plainclothes escorts as well as ten outriders. They gave me only four. It was really not enough. I felt very unsafe. I had to look right and left and also behind to identify assailants early. Now that I am not the Prime Minister, you will not see my numerous bodyguards. This is because they are invisible.

6. In America I was surrounded by six burly secret service men. If anyone shot at me they would take the bullet. President Kennedy was almost saved by them. President Reagan was more lucky. I wanted the same body-guards at home. But there were no six-footers in Malaysia to absorb the bullets. I have to make-do with smallish Malay policeman.

7. Now I dare not get into a crowd. I don’t shake hands and selfies are not allowed. My invisible bodyguards check all cameras and hand phones of those who get within 10 feet from me.

8. As Education Minister I demanded that schools must not be named after me. All my democratic predecessors had schools named after them. One even had a school named after his wife.

9. I did not want schools to be named after me because dictators normally do not like personality cults. So when I became Prime Minister I did not allow my name to be attached to any building, road or public toilets. Now the Najib Government is doing me a favour. Reference to me in text books have been erased. Thank you Najib for being such a democrat.

10. To continue the narration about my dictatorship, upon being appointed Prime Minister I ordered the release of 21 political detainees, detained under ISA by my predecessors. This release was of course the tradition with dictators. Previous democratic PMs did not release any detainees. They in fact added more because that was the democratic thing to do.

11. But what about Ops Lalang. Well, Tun Hanif is on video to say that it was his decision. He was my security adviser and he said I could not countermand him. He says that as my security adviser, he decides.

12. It is not true of course. I went over his head and ordered as many people as possible to be detained and tortured. If he denies it must be because of bran. Still he does not seem to like bran.

13. Then there is Tan Sri Abu Talib, the AG in my time. He recently declared that I was not responsible for Tun Salleh Abas’ dismissal. This just cannot be true. Everyone saw how I caught hold of Salleh Abas by the scruff of his neck and threw him out of his court. I don’t know why Abu Talib should deny popular belief. Maybe I gave him bran. I don’t remember.

14. As wife of Prime Minister, Hasmah was also known as FLOMH (First Lady of my house). She was fond of pink diamonds and Hermes handbags.

15. She bought many of them in the flea markets in London and Hong Kong. She wore them around her neck, arms and fingers every day. There are lots of pictures of her, loaded with expensive jewels. No one can fail to notice that she was the wife of a dictator. She also has a food taster.

16. My children held high posts in the Government and UMNO. They naturally got Government contracts which they sold at good prices. That is why they are among the super rich. Unknown to anyone, Mukhriz has been appointed PH’s Deputy Prime Minister in waiting.

17. I set up five heavy industries and pocketed a good percentage of the capital. The money is kept in secret accounts in numerous banks. The accounts are so secret that I myself don’t know which bank. Not to worry. The police will find out. Another RCI can be set up.

18. Tun Abdullah and Tun-to-be Najib conducted a search for the money I had stolen. So far they have not been able to trace any. But not to be disappointed, Najib discovered that 30 billion Ringgit was lost by Bank Negara 30 years ago. Since I was the Prime Minister at that time, it must have been me who had stolen the money. So he set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry and sure enough I was found guilty.

19. I inherited from Tun Hussein a Boeing 737 business jet. It was big and expensive. So I decided to sell it and buy a smaller aircraft. I believe the savings went into my secret account. I don’t know where. There should be a police investigation.

20. As a dictator I made sure the Prime Minister’s residence in Putrajaya had a tunnel connecting it to KLIA. If anything happened I could escape through this tunnel to a waiting plane. Until now the tunnel cannot be found.

21. With the money I had stolen, I built two private palaces in Country Heights and the Mines. They are surrounded by high walls and guarded 24 hours a day by security forces. I also have fierce dogs. Anyone visiting me is frisked for weapons.

22. When I was about to retire, some people suggested that they build a memorial library for me. All American Presidents have memorial libraries.

23. I commanded as a true dictator that the memorial be dedicated to previous Prime Ministers also. I instructed that it be called the Perdana Leadership Foundation. The great achievements of all previous Prime Ministers must be kept there. Of course my record as a dictator is preserved for eternity there. All the valuable gifts given to me as PM, including 26 cars, are kept in the Galleria in Langkawi. Unfortunately the Government refuse to return them to me.

24. There are many other authoritarian acts perpetrated by me. But, to cut a long story short, as a true dictator I decided to resign. All dictators do this. Hitler and Mussolini unfortunately died before they could resign. Franco of Spain and Salazar of Portugal were about to resign when they died.

25. But I was lucky. I was able to resign before I die. This confirms that I was a true dictator. I ordered some ministers to rush up to me and cry when I made the announcement.

26. No one should know about all my authoritarian acts. It is sufficient just to state that I was a dictator. If asked why you say I was a dictator, just say everyone said so before. Therefore it must be true.

27. So carry on calling me an authoritarian dictator, a Mahazalim and Mahafiraun, who was undemocratic, and has become super rich through corruption. It is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
