Malaysiakini reported this evening on the plight of the Reformis movement call to hold the opposition leader to be responsible for the Selangor government's alleged failure in addressing the plight of the poor.Wow, Pakatan Rakyat must have done a terrible job. Only by inheriting the state for about 9 months, they must have caused an increasing number of the poor people. The "New Poor" or "Orang Miskin Baru" (OMB), defined as people who have become poorer resulting from the rule of Pakatan Rakyat, must have triggered the Reformis' attention and care.
I believe that the existing poor people in Selangor, since March 2008, cannot blame Pakatan Rakyat since they were already screwed under the rule of Barisan. If they were actually screwed, that is.
Now, this Reformis wants to hold a nude protest? You know what I would do? I would allow them to protest. Call for an international media presence. Call Playboy. Call some gay magazines. I mean, pictures of nude men. Hopefully, some women too :) Major newspapers could feature a centerfold. How about a calendar? Year-end is coming.
Look, times are getting worse. We need to attract more tourists. They need more than just multi-lingual road signs. They need action. Now, what other action would be better than a group of people taking their clothes off for a cause they firmly believe in? They are fighting for the rights of the OMB. How these people became OMB? I'm not too sure. Perhaps, didn't get contracts from the present government. I'm not to sure. Just speculating.
If the Reformis movement wants to protest nude, let them do it. Take pictures. Take videos. Post it at Youtube. Let CNN make a feature story. Send the videos to gay websites. Make sure camera got super zoom. Make full coverage.
You know what? We could also invite PETA. These people have also made nude protests the "in vogue". Oh, I enjoy their protests. Body paintings are nice to look at. Meeooow!!
Heck, let's organise a national nude protests where any other party who wants to join can also do so. I mean, they have gay parades in the West. We should have our Reformis parade here.

Reports by Malaysiakini - Previously, Reformis had declared a 'nude war' against Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim and had threatened to strip naked and "stalk" him.
According to Ramlan, the opposition alliance had failed to fulfill the promises in its March 8 election manifesto.
"Anwar must be responsible for what Khalid has done in oppressing the people of Selangor," he said, but declined to reveal when the 'war' would be launched.
As long as these promises were not fulfilled, the Reformis president stressed that the ‘nude war’ would continue.
Asked why he chose this method of putting his grouses across instead of using the party channels, Roslan said: "These people cannot be coaxed, cannot be pleaded with and cannot discuss with."
"This is the method of gangsters, so we had to become bigger gangsters, only then would they accept. Only when we threatened to strip naked, he (the menteri besar) wants to resolve the problems," he added.
