An ant worked hard in the sweltering heat all summer, building its
nest and laying up supplies for the winter.
A grasshopper thought the ant was stupid not knowing how to enjoy
life. It spent its days laughing, singing & dancing thoroughly
enjoying the summer.
Came winter, the shivering grasshopper called a press conference and
demanded to know why the ant should be warm and well fed while he was
cold and starving.
TV1, TV2 & TV3 showed up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper alongside to a video clip of the ant in his comfortable
home with a table full of food.
The majority of the Malaysian Parliamentarians were stunned by the
sharp contrast.. How could this poor grasshopper be allowed to suffer?
Khairy staged a demonstration in front of the ant's nest.
Nazri went on a hunger strike along with other grasshoppers demanding
that they be relocated to warmer climate area during winter.
The Malaysia Government immediately passed a law forbidding all ants
from working hard in the summer so as to bring about equality of
poverty between ants and grasshoppers.
Hishammudin increased 'More Special Reservations' for grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services..
The ant was fined for failing to share 30% of his food with the
grasshopper. The Prime Minister announced that this was part of the
NEP. No ant should question it.
Many years later...
Some ants migrated to the US & other countries overseas and set up
multi-billion dollar companies there.
Hundreds of grasshoppers still died of starvation despite the 'More
Special Reservations'.
Losing significant number of hard working ants and free loading the
grasshoppers, Malaysia remained a developing country and being
compared to Angola or Zimbabwe, despite its abundant natural resources.
All because the remaining ANTS were still doing their work
.............................
Latest finding showed that almost all the grasshoppers in the
political arena and civil service were hoarding corrupt wealth which
they refused to share with fellow grasshoppers.
