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.?
