HE MESSED UP THIS FAMILY, BIG TIME.

I ended my post on 30 July thus:

NEXT: Datuk Mahmood Ambak's family was a prestigious family, even when the PM married into the family, UNTIL......

YES SIREE, until this character slipped into the mainstream of the Ambak family. Datuk Mahmood Ambak was the Chairman of the FAS (Football Association of Selangor) Disciplinary Committee and I was his secretary. This Malay Gentleman taught this then young teacher a treasury of things and values worth treasuring. I will not go into detail, suffice to say that when I read Kam Raslan's Confessions of an Old Boy, certain vignettes of Dato Hamid's colorful life kind of merged, intertwined and dovetailed so snuggly with Datuk Mahmood's. He was one of the earliest, if not THE earliest Malay entrepreneur. I even taught one of his sons. As I work on this keyboard, I can get the whiff of his pipe tobacco.....a mixture of Old English and Captain Black (if memory holds good). I recalled many meetings in his house, many evenings over BL/H2O, and Sundays hopping from PJ Sun Wah to a few other designated must-go venues. This was the dad of the late Datin Seri Endon who wedded our current PM. This family stuck by Pak Lah in his troubled times, thru thick and thin. Everything looked great when Pak Lah was accepted back into mainstream politics. His daughter Nori married a young Oxonian buck. Then Pak Lah was trust into the main stage and this is when the young upstart began to buck like an unbroken mustang. He was allowed free rein to roam the corridors of power. Without breaking a sweat, he turned millionaire and he spat off the bit, because he was already the numero uno. He seems to be saying to Pak Lah......"you just relax, snooze on and let me and my boys take care of things....or better still, take a break, go abroad; no worry we are in control." Didn't he chase off some US of A lady who was his dad-in-laws guest. I believe the word is kurang ajar....the worst insult ever amongst my Malay friends. Like literally, going into your in-laws house and telling the guest of honor: &%$@off! He was daring, he had the jobless cup chais gang behind him and now he is attacking us bloggers and branded us as monkeys (pic above says all....you agree?) and this morning he tells former DPM, "you are a traitor to the Malays." Coming soon, everyone who opposes him (perchance even his father-in-law) will be labeled treasonous. Such blatant audacity! Boy, are you listening....this is what grandma Zorro wants to know..................
