The spectacle of Malaysia’s so-called ‘mainstream’ news media whipping-up public outrage about an infestation of rats in Mid Valley Megamall is the most ludicrous exercise in hypocrisy I’ve seen for some time.

Because these are the very same fake ‘news’ organisations that for decades have been ratting-out the Malaysian people with a combination of secrecy, half-truths and lies for the purpose of supporting, protecting and generally promoting the interests of the pests and parasites of the pernicious Umno/BN regime.

Ever since former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad discovered how to employ the ‘rat’ in ‘democratic’ for his own nefarious ends, Umno/BN and its accomplices and cronies have been steadily gnawing and nibbling their way through everything from the nation’s natural resources and public funds to Malaysian citizens’ rights, freedoms and protections.

Witness any of literally countless examples ranging from the sucking of untold fortunes in oil revenues out of Petronas (Pestronas?) and the billions that Abdul Taib ‘The Termite’ Mahmud has made from chomping through Malaysia’s rainforests, to the white-anting of the forces of law-and-order so as to turn the police into trained regime lice.

This latter all for the express purpose, of course, of protecting the rats of Umno, the mice of MIC, MCA, Gerakan and the members of other mosquito BN-member parties from the eradication they so richly deserve.

And now every species of Putrapest, from Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak (Ratzak?) and his consort Rosmah (Roachmah?) Mansor on down through the big-time blood-suckers heading government or rather grubernment ministries and departments to the slugs, worms and weavils they pay to do their dirty-work in the media and electoral commission and on the streets, are totally out of control.

Some of us, despite decades of having our optimism dashed, have been hoping that, with increasing international efforts at pest control, by the US Department of Justice and similar agencies in many other countries, some of the rats and other Umno/BN vermin would start deserting the pirate (pirat?) Najib’s sinking, stinking ship.

But apart from a handful of his scurvy crew, most of whom in any case have been rejected by the regime rather than reformed, most still remain resolutely on board.

And, apparently, like the similarly pestiferous President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, Najib is now leading them on a voyage to the People’s Ratpublic of China in search of immoral support.

This move certainly seems to make good sense from the Umno/BN point-of-view, as China is clearly on a mission to make as big a pest of itself as possible around Asia, and throwing heaps of cash around in its attempts to buy or bribe as many allies as possible.
