butt wagging malay philosophy?
-- There is a
philosophical Malay saying "... seperti punggok rindukan bulan" ...
"like the desolate bird pining for the moon .." a metaphor of deep
longingness of the lover and the beloved .. in modern Malaysian
democracy, the rakyat longing for meaningful democracy ...
--
The incident of "butt wagging" ... or "wag the butts" is philosophical
problematique as well as the Malays would still philosophize as " ...
seperti punggong rindukan rotan ..." ... like the butts pining for the
rotan ... a metaphor of deep longingness of the well-aligned butts for a
good whacking of the rattan cane ... " ... longingness nonetheless ...
in Malaysian democrazy this means just that .. butts longing for
flogging.
With apologies to the English poet John Donne: " ...
and so my fellow Malaysians ... never ask for whom the butts wag .. for
they wag for thee ..." -- ar

Doc Azly,
Perhaps the butt pining for the rotan may sound like the butt deserves to be rotaned. But this is still very cultured, dare I suggest the butt pining for the boot.?
