Casualty of War : The B40 Rice Farmer of Malaysia.

NOTHING, and I mean it, nothing will please me more if the people behind the boycott McDonald's movement in Malaysia, would put in the same vigour in standing up for the B40 paddy farmers of Malaysla. VIEW : McDonald's Malaysia which EMPLOYS 100 pet cent Malaysian work force is being targeted on Tik Tok

ANY one of who thinks all these are purely spontaneous, obviously don't know much about algorithms nor do they have sharp enough memories to remind them that the bulk of the formatting looks too similar to that of Perikatan Nasional's blitz just prior to the general election. 

I guess, the paddy farmers won't be getting the type of social media support , despite a very sizeable majority of this farmer are from the ethnic Malay community, because nobody is in their corner, to finance a social media campaign  of such magnitude.

 NOBODY,  with the exception of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is in the B40 paddy farmers corner,  but there are too many things happening in Malaysia and outside of Malaysia in one go, for Anwar Ibrahim to play equaliser in one go.

WHEN the cat is away, there is a saying that the mouse will come our to play.  And indeed the rats,  it seems have started to play. 

TAKE for instance the statement in Parliament by the agriculture minister Mar Sabu. Berita Harian  had quoted the minister as saying READ : berbanding perjanjian konsesi antara kerajaan terdahulu dengan BERNAS, Kerajaan Perpaduan sudah membuat penambahbaikan dengan menetapkan supaya BERNAS melaksanakan 10 obligasi sosial bernilai RM3.2 bilion.

IF the above quote is accurate, and the Parliament hansard will be able to prove it, Mat Sabu should come out and say what are the ten so called social obligations that he is talking about and how does it differ from the ten social obligations that Muhyiddin Yassin had put in place when signing a ten year extension for Bernas when he was the Prime Minister.

HOWEVER if the ten social obligations are the same ones as the ten social obligations outlined by the Muhyiddin Yassin's admistrations, then serious questions should be asked, is it in the interest of Malaysia and the B40' farmers of the Malay heartland to have Mat Sabu remain as the agriculture minister.
