Once upon a time, in a faraway island lived a nasty, overbearing and oppressive lord in a medieval village. He was nothing much to look at and had the deepest, most grotesque and repulsive pockmarks on his big face, reminiscent of his over-sized ego.
Wherever he walked, the earth would tremble and it has been said that even little children shivered when they heard him going fie-fie-foe-fum....
"I smell the blood of aliens in my land."
One day, he went a bit too far with his comments and there was a huge uproar when the downtrodden serfs finally garnered enough courage to speak up. A little damsel spoke up for the innocent serfs and was hastily whisked away to a dungeon." For her own safety,..." they said.
The lesson learnt was plain and simple - it does not pay to speak the truth but it pays to speak anything you like if you have the power, money and the clout to be a lout. And so he went on his merry way after being admonished by the mayor of the city. He disappeared for some time as the mayor, in a bid to maintain peace and tranquility again, banished him to a faraway land, purportedly to terrorise other docile homo homo sapiens.
One fine day, he reappeared after the mayor had a change of heart and decreed that once again, he could assume his rightful position.
Alas, a leopard cannot change its spots for his highhanded majesty now wanted his former aides (who used to dance to his tune, jump at the snap of his finger, perhaps even wet their pants when he sneezed) to apologize for causing him distress.
Most arrogantly, he insisted that it was all their fault, not his. He declared that he had done no wrong, after all he was HIS HIGH-HANDED MAJESTY and he had to live up to his reputation!!
And whither did they go? Scapegoating and blaming one another endlessly while his highhanded majesty lived happily ever after in his little kingdom where brainless aides attended to his every whim and fancy.

A Arthur Hello MWS, this is a brilliant satirical piece on the current situation in Penang, where an old AMNO war lord is forgiven and is now showing his teeth again.
He wanted Gerakan to apologize and then arrogantly said that he might still consider whether he will accept their apology or not.
Such arrogance could dismantle all the goodwill, if there is any or perhaps only rhetorics, built by our PM on 1Malaysia so far.
I am still wondering about AMNO. There are a lot of smart, educated and worldly wise members in AMNO. Why is there nobody who will speak out on the need for our PM to make a clean breast on the allegations by Bala. If our PM will to do that then all Malaysians will be proud to walk tall again. And now this AI is coming in with chest thumping announcement to tell the whole world that he is in the market again to fight for AMNO and to flex his muscles to all pendatang in native Penang.
So let us see how Gerakan senior members are going to react to this warlord.
