"It is now a done deal, a fait accompli, something that has come to pass and cannot be reversed because it has already ended and no longer exists. The Social Contract is not there anymore. What is there is the product of that Social Contract. And that would be the government that we have, the Constitution that we have, the Constitutional Monarchy that we have, the Parliament that we have, the elections that we have, and so on.
Some of you are saying that this Social Contract is a thing of the past and something that people long gone and dead agreed upon and the present generation should not be bound by it.
Do you know what you are saying? You are saying that we abolish elections, abolish Parliament, give back absolute powers to the Rulers, cancel the citizenship of all the non-Malays, and so on. Are you utterly mad or do you not understand how Malaysia came into being?"

Okay- so it "exists" - but only in the form of what transpired in history, in the imagination ... UMNO's "history" modified as and when they please.
However- All I know is, the closest thing we have to a "social contract" are the Reid/Cobbold Commission Report and the Federal Constitution is all there is to speak of it- nothing more.
Anything read in the Federal Constitution should be read along with these reports- because it articulated all there was in the so-called "social contract" they (UMNO/MCA/MIC) made while they partied together.
Those are the rules of engagement. Period.
So RPK is now mouthing the "Social Contract" as if it was a document!!
He speaks of it as though he knows what exactly transpired- beyond the above mentioned documents!!
He is trying to manipulate people into believing that what UMNO (aka Tunku, Razak and other Malay elitists) discussed while drinking some Scotch, over cigars or over some Nasi Lemak, or having a piss together - constitutes a "Social Contract" equivalent to the MAGNA CARTA of England, by which we are supposed to live our lives!!!!
He is actually comparing a non-existent entity to the Magna Carta!!!
That's like comparing a wheel-barrow to a Ferrari!!
Talk about the mouth moving faster than the brain .... *sigh*.
Here, it seems like shit flies out of RPK's mouth faster than anything else!!
*****************************
Magna Carta, also called Magna Carta Libertatum or The Great Charter of the Liberties of England, is an English charter, originally issued in the year 1215 and reissued later in the 13th century in modified versions. The later versions excluded the most direct challenges to the monarch's authority that had been present in the 1215 charter. The charter first passed into law in 1225; the 1297 version, with the long title (originally in Latin) The Great Charter of the Liberties of England, and of the Liberties of the Forest, still remains on the statute books of England and Wales.

Next he will be equating UMNO's "struggle/fight for independence" to India's fight for Independence or Mandela's struggle fighting Apartheid!!
Okay- so it "exists" - but only in the form of what transpired in history, in imagination ... UMNO's "history" modified as and when they please.
However- All I know is, the closest thing we have to a "social contract" are the Reid/Cobbold Commission Report and the Federal Constitution is all there is to speak of it- nothing more.
Those are the rules of engagement. Period.
Wouldn't be surprised if RPK comes around mouthing some Ketuanan Melayu sh#t very soon.
