With the ‘Aku Jimat’ game which has taken Malaysia’s Apple user community by storm, it being ranked at number two amongst all of Malaysia’s paid Apple gadget apps, it is time perhaps, that Antarctic Group which produced the game, or others to take advantage of our comparative advantage of having totally ridiculous political conundrums.

The tales and tableaux of our politicians and their wives, family and assorted kin, may be proof positive that Malaysia indeed is a hotbed of creativity. Truth, as they say, being stranger than fiction, and all that.

With our political system kitchen hell bent on cooking up a storm of ridiculous stories and situations, I do perhaps believe that we should capitalise on this, which is our comparative advantage so to speak.

The ideas for future games are as follow:

1) Ah Jig Gor Big ‘Ang Pow’ Game - Play a politician, who must play the balancing game and see how many constituencies can you visit and give big ‘ang pows’ to, before you must dissolve parliament and hold a general election. All the while having to watch out for frontal bricks or flying back-stab daggers being thrown by political opponents and rivals in your own party.

2) NFC vs Jingga 13 Mortal Kombat Game - A fighting game between the NFC Clan and Jingga 13 Group. One can assume either clan or group and then fight it out in good ol’ style beat ’em up game. Special moves for the NFC will be ‘Condo Defense’ to defend and ‘Cow-Bugen’ attack while Jingga 13 has ‘Balance Sheet’ attack and ‘Whistleblower’ defence.

3) The File-It AG Game - Play the AG and see how long can you hold off from filing an appeal in a sodomy case which the government prosecutors lost. All the while you have to avoid pressure from political masters, NGO groups who want you to appeal faster and also brickbats from those who want you not to appeal. The winner is the one that can hold off till the eleventh hour.

4) Sing-It-Anwar - Play a man named Anwar who has a limited time before the verdict to his sodomy case is delivered, you must fit in as many roadshows, ceramahs, foreign media interviews and foreign visits as you can before your court date.

5) Peaceful Assembly Defence Game - Play the police force of a nation and manage law enforcement’s response to illegal assemblies. You have preemptive response in the form of a media campaign, declaring NGOs illegal, arresting assembly leaders, harassing participants clad in suitable coloured shirts, invoking Molotov cocktails and parangs and roadblocks. Or you can use active measures like LSF, FRU, PGA police units or loudhailers trucks, water cannon trucks, SB snatch squads, special media squads and tear gas. Winner is the one that can quell assemblies whilst avoiding hospitals and media attention.
