2. His assertion in his interview with the New York Times that “Race relations (would be) better if Singapore (had) not (been) “turfed out” (of Malaysia) is worth studying. Is it true or is it fantasy?
3. Before Singapore joined the Peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak to form Malaysia, there was less racial politics in the Federation of Malaysia. In 1955 the Malays who made up 80 per cent of the citizens gave a large number of their constituencies to the few Chinese and Indian citizens and ensured they won with strong Malay support. As a result the Alliance won 51 of the 52 seats contested.
5. In the 1959 elections the Alliance of UMNO, MCA and MIC won easily though Kelantan was lost. PAS with only Malays as members was rejected. Racialism even when implied failed.
6. In 1963 Singapore became a part of Malaysia. Despite having promised that the PAP will not participate in Peninsular, Sabah and Sarawak politics, Kwan Yew reneged and the PAP tried to displace the MCA in the Alliance by appealing to Chinese sentiments in the Peninsular. Of course the slogan was “Malaysian Malaysia” which implied that the Chinese were not having equal rights with the Malays. If this appeal to Chinese sentiments against the Malays was not racial, I do not know what is racial.
7. But the Peninsular Chinese favoured working with the Malays in UMNO. They totally rejected PAP in 1964.
8. Following the Malaysian Malaysia campaign a few UMNO leaders tried to rouse Singapore Malay sentiments. There were demonstrations in Singapore where before there were none. Kwan Yew accused Jaafar Albar for instigating the Singapore Malays. Although I never went to Singapore, nor met the Malays there, I was labelled a Malay-ultra by Kwan Yew himself.
9. By 1965 racism had taken hold and the Tunku was forced to end Singapore’s membership of Malaysia. But the seed of Chinese racialism had been sown, so that even after the PAP left, the “Malaysian Malaysia” war cry was picked up by the DAP, an offspring of the PAP.
10. With the background of Singapore’s activities in Malaysia in the short three years of its membership, can we really believe that if it had not been “turfed out” race relations would be better in Malaysia?
11. But proof of what would have happened was shown by the politics leading up to the 1969 Election. The MCA began to criticise the Sino/Malay cooperation especially on so-called special rights and demanded for a Chinese University. UMNO then began to clamour for a greater share of the economy of the country. The UMNO/MCA conflict resulted in the Alliance faring very badly in the 1969 Elections.
12. DAP and Gerakan, a new party largely made up of MCA dissidents made gains. The Alliance were shocked and rattled.
13. Then the Gerakan and DAP held their victory parade near the Malay settlement of Kampung Baru, hurling racist insults at the Malays. The result was the 13th May race riots.
14. Till today the racist slogan “Malaysian Malaysia” is the war-cry of the DAP. Racism in Malaysia is clearly the result of Singapore’s membership of the country for just three years. Can we really believe that if Singapore had not been “turfed out” Malaysia would have no racial problem.
15. While Kwan Yew talks about his belief that all ethnic communities should free themselves from the shackles of racial segregation in order to promote fairness and equality among the races, he also said that “once we are by ourselves (out of Malaysia) the Chinese become the majority”.
16. Singapore’s population is made up of 75 per cent Chinese and they own 95 per cent of the economy. It is therefore not a truly multi-racial country but a Chinese country with minority racial groups who are additionally much poorer.
17. In Singapore dissent is not allowed, People who contest against the PAP would be hauled up in court for libel and if they win elections would not be allowed to take their places in Parliament. Whereas in Malaysia opposition parties invariably win seats in Parliament and even set up State Governments (today five out of the 13 States are ruled by the opposition parties) the PAP in Singapore has to appoint PAP members to represent the opposition.
18. Whether the PAP admits it or not, the party has always been led and dominated by ethnic Chinese and have won elections principally because of Chinese votes. The others are not even icing on the cake.
19. If Singapore is a part of Malaysia the PAP can certainly reproduce the Singapore kind of non-racial politics because together with the Malaysian Chinese, the PAP will ethnically dominate and control Malaysian politics. No dissent would be allowed and certainly no one would dare say anything about who really runs the country.
20. Amnesia is permissible but trying to claim that it is because Singapore had been “turfed out” for the present racist politics in Malaysia is simply not supported by facts of history.
21. Lee Kwan Yew and I saw the same things and know the reasons why.

I believe all sorts of pornography is banned in this country. Rightly so on such a pervasive and addictive subject. However, I have discovered in order to satiate my desire for adult-minded excitement that financial pornography offers a healthy and mentally stimulating pastime at no cost at all. I must warn our cognoscenti that financial pornography is far more addictive than ordinary pornography but very rewarding by forcing us to use our heads in a healthy manner !
Here is a further offering of the healthy financial pornography which is published in the World’s best financial journals except that of Singapore which has a peculiar bent always !
Within the next 3 months something has got to give as the financial hoi-polloi seem to will it ! I could be wrong Tun but the markets seem to be saying something throwing themselves into a frenzy up and down day after day !

Tun. the leading political lights of the Western World led by President Obama have neglected to solve the present dilemma of nations since 2008. They left it to the monetarists in the central banks to do the job which has now lasted 8 years with no solution in sight. Fiscal and reform measures were untouched. No bankers went to jail. As Marc Faber said ” Expect QE4 up to QE 99 ” Such is the paucity of political will in the West today, only going after the soft options in the Middle East which they made a mess of as well !

What to do, Tun ?
I have been hooked on this world financial pornography from the World’s best sources for years. These now tell me every day that the money-money relationships between nations and continents and gaggles of economic groupings are loosening due to the slow down in World trade.
What I perceive is grim and bleak compounded by the ‘never before financial events’ which have happened literally every day.
How long is this going to last is the 64,000 Dollar question ?
I reckon this will last more than 20 years from 2007/2008 which was created by the very people who used to slosh around billions but now trillions of dollars way above the Main or High Street !
The general economy of the World is sick and becoming more sick.
There is no doctor to heal this at the moment. The anxious relevant authorities are just waiting for more symptoms to develop before prescribing the cure which has not been invented yet ! Hence, anything which maybe called a market will roil, slosh, plunge or toss at anytime.
How many of us realise we are now in the real unknown frontier which even all the Nobel Prize economists put together have not experienced and able to provide no answers ?
With all the bad news, I better return to the cosy and comfortable home of our naive, hospitable and friendly beloved Malaysia where no one worries too much if at all because we have sunshine and blue skies everyday !
And for those cognoscenti who appreciate my hard work and seek financial excitement, here are a delectable selection of the grimmest and bleakest financial porn. from outside our borderless borders !

In our beloved land of many holidays which do not affect our productivity as we are told, with the World’s biggest Federal Cabinet and State Cabinets in relation to the population which overlook the World’s largest group of civil servants per capita, we are indeed a fortunate Nation to be so over-governed. On top of all these public servants we have an unofficial and off-budget adjunct known as the GLC boys with the proverbial purse to spend and spend ad infinitum. These GLC boys are Civil Servants in mufti !
As it is the Chinese New Year holidays, we naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians from 3 different ancient civilizations and all, are assured by our naive, friendly and hospitable UMNO-owned New Straits Times 8 February 2016, in its editorial, ” Thumbs-up for the economy ” which was on IMF’s conclusions based on historical statistics.
We do not seem to view the handling of that difficult commondity known as money seriously since 2003. Spending is easy. Earning is difficult as could be discerned in the daily dose of the World’s financial pornography from respectable journals as reported here. The World spins on, rain or shine :-

Tun, it is good to know from the relevant authorities/GLC boys that our beloved Malaysia still has sunshine and blue skies today, yesterday, tommorrow and every day. But the financial pornography tells us otherwise. Is there a complete disconnect between our Malaysian World and the World outside our borderless borders ? It seems to be the case because of the continuous mis-match between the information provided by the insiders as compared with those of the outsiders.
One thing I noticed is that the World’s best professionals in the business is at a loss of what will happen next or to do next. All are waiting for the Fed which seemed to have become a bunch of white-haired academic types now huddled in some Washington DC ivory tower. Until the next United States Dollar falls, we have to wait patiently in anticipation of whatever event which may come soon. The GLC boys are still enveloped in the biggest bubble they could ever find ! I am told the oil industry is a disparate scene since 2014 !

As the Malaysian Business World was winding down to the long expected forthcoming Chinese New Year holidays, all businesses were hit by the regular irregular announcement of a stupendous hike of the levy concerning workers. This act shows the disconnect between those concerned with the proper management of the country’s economy and those business persons who are the front-liners of industries engaged in making things for domestic consumption and exports.
Malaysia is already a high cost producer of goods and services by aping the MONEY MONEY MONEY failed policies of neo-communist Singapore.
But over and above all the unsalubrious remarks made by my friends, I was pleased to know that the naive, friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times today 6 February 2016, assured all and sundry that Malaysia’s financial standing is “ROCK SOLID” as blessed by the IMF based on historical results of previous years.
However, it is good to have a balanced view of money on both sides of the borderless border of Malaysia. This is by perusing my favourite comic books produced freely outside our World. Today’s offerings for the cognoscenti of financial pornography :-

I can report truthfully this morning that the sun was not visible and the sky was grey. Maybe this reflects the moods of my friends who are even more puzzled by what hit them without notice – the hasty declaration of the levy on foreign workers. They choked with dismay in a land once full of normality before 2003 but now they face the new normal of the haste to get MONEY MONEY MONEY.
There is a report in The Edge 8 February 2016 on the luxurious and lavish life-style of the GLC boys. Quote ” It is amazing how some government-linked companies hold their board meetings in places like London. They fly their directors overseas in business class and put them up in swanky hotels for the duration of their stay. Some GLCs are known to do this as many as four times a year or every quarter when they are slated to hold board meetings.”
These GLC boys do not own the companies, have no business experience and no accountability.
Only 4 countries in the World have GLCs – communist China, authoritarian Russia, neo-communist Singapore and democratic Malaysia.
GLCs only worked under the direct control of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew who micro-managed the GLCs and their money. Those in Russia, China and Malaysia have gone out of control and also off-budget in Malaysia.
When I was a non-executive Director of Sime Darby, Cycle & Carriage Group, etc., I never made use of the staff, the cars, the holiday bungalows etc. Even though in one company, one director could ease his claim to S$3,500 per attendance, I was happy with the approved S$350 inclusive of the air ticket. I knew the finance department laughed at this greedy director.
According to my friends, everything is out of control. This is their story. I still see an orderly and quiet World as told by the relevant authorities and the GLC boys.
However, it pays to peep out into the World of Reality and here are the financial pornography for the cognoscenti, Tun, our daily fix of harmless financial excitement every day and always.

I have always stated that life is a game of snakes and ladders. Why ?
In life, whether we want to pursue our ambitions as a politician or a business person, we embark on our intended career course with the hope of success. But sooner or later, we would be hit with a surprising obstacle as in politics or a sudden down turn in the marketplace. There is no guarantee of absolute success. We must always expect the unexpected.
The public life of the crooked conman and Dictator is a fine example of the failures of his public policies even though he did his very best to succeed. He did not and produced 47 Public Policy failures as of the last count even with his brilliant legal mind which had no commonsense, the ability to think out of the box and compassion.
If in politics or business, we are caught inside a big snake, it is our desire for survival to beat the snake that we must think of making ways to make this big snake, a small one. There are ways to do this.
The first is timing or patience with the hope that the snake will just shrivel up. The second is the make ourselves indigestible for the snake to re-gurgitate what was swallowed. Thereafter, it is our job to find a long ladder and resume our climb up towards the target of our ambition !
Hence, the years which I followed on the antics of World politicians who control huge economies, are now rapidly coming to an unexpected ending in the very near future.
During the years beginning 2008, it is clear to me that the World leaders in politics and finance have no clue to resolve the present dilemma affecting the World financial system. Why ?
The United States which should have the wherewithal and the will to do so embarked on the wrong route which was the monetary route without reform in its fiscal and socio-economic policies.
Obama missed out in creating glory. He merely exercised the imperial hegemonic power of the United States without thinking out of the box how to re-invent the great United States given the opportunity which he had. He is now a goner.
With the scant information which we have, we now face with a possible World recession of an indeterminate depth in the near future.
The chances of this happening is great as the 4 major trade blocs the United States, the BRICS, Japan and the EU seem to be weak economically and could not get off the proverbial floor. Because of this there is now a disconnect, a widening one, between the 4 blocs with one another.
With China toying with the failed GLCs invented by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew, China has failed to grasp the nettle early. This delay will make matters worse in monetary terms which will create a dislocation of precious assets and money. The US$3 Trillions reserves will just fritter away. The optimists have predicted a soft landing.
Actually, no one can predict what will happen in any economy given the present state of affairs with the knowledge that it took the United States to win a World War 2 to recover from the excesses and mistakes of the 1920s and the 1930s.
As as far as we know from the scanty headlines, the Fed has no clue as to how to lift the great United States out of its sluggish growth and prefers to wait and see like all of us.
Tun, the following significant headlines in the World of Reality have a deep meaning for us and may even give us the hint on the rise and fall of men, women and Nations !

Your distinguished and honourable Blog has become a treasure trove of sorts which contain invaluable insights into the thoughts of those who have a concern for our great and unique country, Malaysia. The Blog has become an essential reading for all, politicians, academicians, busy bodies etc.
I feel it is a great privilege to be permitted to contribute an iota of what I could muster.
We the Rakyat are told to behave ourselves and treat all events as normal even though we have thunder and lightning in the midst of our dry seasonal spell.
But my friends tell me the cost of living is going up and up unlike Thailand. Jobs are difficult to come by.
And out of the blue, the levies for foreign workers jump sky high.
My friends do not understand why we now live in poverty in a land once full of abundance and plenty. What has happened ? They asked me.
All I could advise to them is to read the international news media from whatever source they could garner and sum-up the whole situation for themselves like a peep into chedet.cc.org might help.
The once all embracing and all caring of the top of the heap, the Government has gone ! The multi-millionaire machine for all has broken down due to lack of service like our Malaysian tandas !
Let us hope this has only gone for a moment !
As a born optimist, I envisage our beloved Malaysia will be like phoenix rising from the ashes to reach out to emulate Switzerland and Japan, two finest countries in the World in terms of everything from the preservation of historical treasures and practices through the conservation of farmers to a fine living style for their citizens. This is my Malaysian Dream !
Hence, we must return to reality of the World outside our borderless borders with our daily fix of the World’s best financial pornography which is based on money but not on MONEY MONEY MONEY which will only overwhelm us and bring unhappiness to all !

How many of us realise that most of your succinct Comments on this Blog since the end of 2014 had to do with MONEY MONEY MONEY and its mismanagement ?
How many of us realise that this MONEY MONEY MONEY poison which has spread like mercury over our beloved Malaysia was a creation of Lee Kuan Yew and his stupid GLCs ? ONLY LEE KUAN YEW COULD CONTROL THE GLCs BECAUSE HE WAS A DICTATOR WITH HONESTY, FRUGALITY AND HARD-WORK.
How many of us realise that those authoritarian countries like Russia, communist China and even the land of the invention of the GLCs, Singapore, are now paying the price of corruption, nepotism and political up-heaval because of the GLCs, with our beloved Malaysia not excluded ? Malaysia has been using unconventional methods in its age-old Democracy whilst its Democracy is shaken to the core !
How many of us realise that it was our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who first noticed this veering from our age-old Political System with the adoption of Singaporean ways of handling MONEY MONEY MONEY which cannot be done in our Democratic System of checks and balances since 2003 ? In fact, we have been overwhelmed by the MONEY MONEY MONEY in more ways than one.
How many of us realise that our beloved Malaysia is now up to her eye-balls in GLCs activities without any control whatsoever as these financial entities are all off-budget ? Even Mara is founding a Bank in the midst of a World financial crisis which has no ending yet ! These folks had the audacity to purchase blocks of buildings overseas without due consideration – just buy, just sell.
How many of us realise that the GLCs bought assets at high prices all over the shop within a huge QE balloon with borrowed money for the short term for long term gain in the years ahead ? Now the GLCs are forced to sell to plug whatever void to save the ship ! There are nearly 100 GLCs and one was enough to give us all sleepless nights and to engage in one big quarrel for no reason at all.
How many of us realise that the GLCs bought a Turkish power station in December 2015 for nearly RM1 Billion and in January 2016 a Chinese e-company was bought for US$!40 Millins ? This is what we know.
How many of us realise that the chief honcho of EPF said in December 2015 that the EPF will support the Malaysian Economy. The EPF is a public Trust which is governed by the Trustees Act 1949, with its own Act and Rules and Regulations promulgated by the Federal Government. When I was there, the Board after a Report by the Government Actuary, declared the dividend after deduction of the cost of the funds. All surplus was used to purchase Government Treasury Bills. This maybe be conservative and within the Laws. But it is iron-clad safety for the Rakyat who had to rely on the EPF in their old age. Commercialism should not be EPF’s role in the scheme of things. In fact, commercialism opens the EPF to unknown losses of all kinds because only a wizard can avoid the up and down trends of a market place.
To support the above-mentioned facts, Tun, here are some of the bleak and grim financial pornography from outside the borderless borders of our beloved Malaysia from the World of Reality :-

For years, their Jack of all trades in KL gave weekly unsolicited advice to the Federal Government of Malaysia on how to run its economy whilst hard-core PAP types were walloping the Khazanah after 2003. He shut-up after January 2013 !

Even though the sunshine and blue skies were a certainty this morning, I could not help but think we have no sunshine and blue skies today. The grim financial pornography from the World of Reality has affected my sub-concious mind bit by bit. I could not help but to believed in the truth which you, Tun and myself have been trained to believe in. Nothing but the truth. But my optimistic inner-self told me that all is not lost. That there are good and great people in this wonderful World of ours, and our own beloved compatirots are also good and great. This I can confirm after a lifetime of derring-do with the madding crowd. I observed the only less than 10% of the population are born incorrigible bad hats. This is good news for the future of this wonderful land, called Malaysia. As I have said many times before, the destiny of our beloved Malaysia is determined by external forces in this World of Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, ” Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights “.
And for my good friends the Bloggers of this distinguished and honourable Blog, here is the daily fix of the finest financial pornography available for free. ” AN INSIGHT INTO MALAYSIA’S FUTURE TO COME, SOONER OR LATER.”
The Asian Wall Street Journal. 1 February 2016. My favourite 21st Century American comic book for my second childhood.

With your permission I like to repeat what I say to my friends.
I would ask my friends, ” Have you ever met a stupid Chinaman ? ” They would all reply in unison with a resounding. ” No!”. I would continue, ” Sometimes, some Chinaman are so very smart as to be stupid !” My friends would look puzzled at this remark. To ease their perplexity, I would then roll out a few household names. In response and understanding, my friends would roar out “Yes “! with laughter.
Through my researches since September 2011, I have discovered that Lee Kuan Yew tops the list of very clever Chinamen who are stupid. Here is the reason why.
Lee Kuan Yew was in the London School of Economics when he talked his way into the lowest rank non-college, Fitzwilliam House, of the University of Cambridge.
Fitzwilliam House was established by the astute British like the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands to provide a loop hole for those who might not fit in according to the laws. In other words, those aspirants who did not make the grade into the top 30 colleges which require an Open Common Entrance, Greek and Latin, are accepted. Hence, Fitzwilliam House achievements at the Tripos were always last until Lee Kuan Yew came along.
The significant year 1947 was when Lee Kuan Yew competed against war-veterans who had no gumption to study.
Lee Kuan Yew had law tutors who were unemployed in Japanese Singapore for three and a half years. He was overaged but steeped with legal knowledge. And with his gift of the gab, he achieved the best accolades which Cambridge could offer in a small group of law students which became many hundreds of the best in the land by the 1950s !
Hence, he knew his sons would not score Double Star First in Law in their time, not even medicine which is the toughest. They studied mathematics and engineering in which figures could not lie and the best of the British were not keen to study these stale and mundane subjects.
I rue upon the fact that Lee Kuan Yew entered the wrong college, Fitzwilliam House and not a proper college, it is because Fitzwilliam has no traditions or history of any sort. All the other colleges have their traditions, benefactors and so on. All told he learnt nothing outside the wider circle of his legal studies at Cambridge. He was only briliant at his law books which even that he failed to achieve First Class at the important Bar Examinations London.
I said he did achieve nothing much but a set of brilliant law results competing in a small pool of undergraduates immediately after the World War 2. There was much to learn from outside an undergraduate’s realm of studies at Cambridge – the freedom to think, the freedom to speak, the freedom to express. These are the bulwark of Democracy of which the University of Cambridge is a leading herald. Unfortunately, those Fitzbillies were jus fitzbillies around him.
It is unfortunate that Lee Kuan Yew missed the wood for the trees !
He paid for this oversight with his 47 failed Policies as at the last count.And he clung on to his law books till the end unlike others who threw away the academic books after passing through the portals and began afresh.
Lee Kuan Yew would have been in the Pantheon of Great Statesmen if he had only been NORMAL LIKE OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD.
His abnormal behaviour is best exemplified by his failed undercover tactics to destabilise Malaysia to make Singapore great. This did not happen. It backfired.
I just take a few examples of his 47 failed Policies.
1. 1970s-1980s. No person of a sane mind would meddle with the demographics of a nation of 2 millions including the yound and the old. Hitler was the only one. Lee Kuan Yew effectively destroyed the Singaporean locals which is now down to 60% ! To have a credible GDP, Singapore imports foreigners !
2. 2003. Lee Kuan Yew has a penchant of paying over the hill prices for tycoons who served him with information etc.
But his worst purchase was Thaksin Shinawatra’s business. The purpose was to stop Thaksin from building the Isthmus of Kra Canal. Many innocent Thai men, women and children died because of this. This flagrant act brought on two coup d’etats !
3. October 2008. The huge loss of US$108 Billions by Singapore on Wall Street showed that Lee Kuan Yew did not think out the right options for Singapore and was susceptible to flattery as it was alleged he was on the International Panels of Advisers at the Citibank and the UBS at the material time !
4. There are 44 more failed policies of Lee Kuan Yew.
And with the latest developments overseas, another very clever Chinaman who is stupid will soon join Lee Kuan Yew as the No. 2 on the list with Lee Kuan Yew ranking No. 1.
Here are a few notable and independent comments from the finest Indian scholar and a prominent journalist of Mother India on our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
1. TJS George.From his own Blog June 2011
” The West has spread the impression that Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew is Asia’s outstanding economic miracle man while Malaysia’s Mahathir as a cantankerous ogre, hater of white people and dictator to boot. Both are dressed up portraits. What makes Mahathir special is that while pursuing economic progress, he never lost sight of the larger picture of human values. That cannot be said of Lee Kuan Yew and certainly not of Indonesia’s Suharto or Thailand’s Thaksin Shinawatra. ”
2. Amartya Sen. Human Rights and Asian Values: What Lee Kuan Yew and Li Peng don’t understand about Asia.
http://www.hmb.utoronto.ca/HMB303H/weekly_supp/week_02/sen_Asian_values.pdf
Amartya Sen, a brilliant Indian, is a Nobel Prize winner. Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. A Professor at Harvard and other prestigious universities.

I hope by now you will understand why I call these interesting financial newspapers of the World, ‘ financial pornography ‘. They are addictive. Since I do not smoke or drink, this is a most healthy alternative which can be safely recommended to all and sundry. This is factual unlike the spiel by the relevant authorities/GLC boys about the perennial Malaysian sunshine and blue skies. It is alleged the folks from the land of the edelweiss is looking some folks in the land of the bunga raya. Those flower boys and girls !
Here is more of the addictive dose of financial pornography for all. Soon, this offering will become a must for those who want to be in tune with the World of Reality with a vision of what is to come in our beloved Malaysia – a cheap and easy way of garnering important information – a sort of IDIOT’S GUIDE TO HIGH FINANCE FOR ALL !
The Asian Wall Street Journal 30 January 2016
” CENTRAL BANKS GO TO NEW LENGTHS TO BOOST ECONOMIES ” This is where the US/Obama went wrong in relying on monetary policy with no reformation of the political policies and the financial system.

It is my opinion that the destiny of our beloved Malaysia will be determined by the on-going financial events which are happening in the World of Reality daily. This we cannot escape.
Apart from the headines from the respectable financial media which give us information, certain astute commentators do also contribute to our collection for our knowledge and vision. Thus, Marc Faber of Boom, Gloom, Doom said the following on Bloomberg today. As you rightly stated, ‘Without information we are blind and have no vision :-
1. “The World’s economy is managed by professors. It’s crazy.”
2. “There is asset inflation but no inflation in Main Street.”
3. “It’s now a Festival of Bears.”
4. “QE4 is inevitable until QE99.”
5. “There is a disconnect between the politicians and the Davos elites.”
6. “The US corporations refuse to invest holding on to the cash.” My comment is our Malaysian GLCs inside a huge bubble with no money invest long and borrow short ! There are about 100 GLCs.
The Asian Wall Street Journal 29 January 2016
” BANK OF JAPAN INTRODUCES NEGATIVE INTEREST RATES ”
” CASH IS FLEEING CHINA. NOW WHAT ?”

The aforementioned information highlights the vulnerability of Malaysia’s external trade which depends on oil, palm oil, FTZ products mostly owned by foreigners. Textiles which amount to 3% of the total external trade have already emigrated overseas 20-30 years ago.
Tun, as it is said, ‘ I can lie to some of the people all the time. And I can lie to all the people some of the time. But I cannot lie to all the people all the time.”

My humble apologies for leaving out the financial pornographic stuff from the Financial Times London, the very best in the World, ( due to an oversight ) without which nothing is complete :-

Tun, with the info from the Financial Times, we have a more complete and bleaker bird’s eye view of the World to come for us in our beloved Malaysia. Every day, every report is down, down and down ! And there are 365 days in a year !
To be told that our beloved Malaysia will be alright even if the oil keeps on falling is like getting AIDS without protection against the Doctor’s orders !

I am duty bound to highlight the good, the bad and the ugly financial news from the World of Reality whenever possible to underline the importance and the correctness of your words of caution since 2003.
In every instance, you have been proven to be correct with the vision and the wisdom.
Our beloved Malaysia now spends much time in agonising over trivials with mega-ringgits connotations.
This is silly when I recall that during your 22 year Administration, all our efforts and energies were put to the creation of wealth for all with no exclusivity ! This is what it should be.
But alas ! Time and money are as mercurial as mercury of which there is no recourse to rectify once the opportunity has passed. At the end of the day, the folks will be wrestling with the seven-headed serpent of financial sins.
Down South, in the isle of the nearest and the dearest, the whole landscape is one disparate scene of despair with no solution to the humongous MONEY MONEY MONEY policies of the past which now haunt the dysfunctional elite who should now know better – NEVER CHALLENGE DESTINY ! In layman terms, ‘ Don’t try to be too smart.’ because at the end of the day, we all stand up to be counted.
And here again, we accepted the bright lights and the MONEY MONEY MONEY policies of the nearest and the dearest without a consideration or a view of what the future might bring.
THE FUTURE IS HERE IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WHERE WE NOW SPEND MORE TIME TALKING THAN WORKING !
What to do but to enjoy ourselves with the World’s best financial pornography which did not originate from Singapore because they have no money left !
The SGX has been sinking like a rock ! The Temasek is up to their eye-balls in Chinese banks shares in tune with their masochistic and huge loss on Wall Street in October 2008 from US and Swiss banks shares ! In this World’s best singular occurence, the lightning will strike twice !
And so it is, Tun, the daily confirmation of your words of caution and vision and wisdom since 2003 which no one listened but they are prepared to wrestle the seven-headed serpent. Here are the daily doses of the good, the bad and the ugly :-
The Asian Wall Street Journal 28 January 2016. This is my comic in my second childhood.

Tun, the usual serious headlines of the United States, China and Oil are highlighted. But the key to the whole pack is the United States which seem to have lost its way since the end of the Cold War 1948-1989. This lack of financial leadership under Greenspan has now brought home the pigeons to roost. And now with the Fed in a dilemma within a humongous asset bubble, no one is certain what is going to happen in the future. The disconnect between the Fed and the markets is well illustrated by the chaos in the first few weeks of 2016. There have been no structural or fiscal reforms. No banker went to jail since 2007. There is no money in Main Street. It was all Monetary Policy since 2008 !
Big big bucks are now involved in this blind folded game which will concern not only the destinies of billionaires but also of nations !
Vide. Mohamed El-erian ‘ The only Game in Town ‘. Yet, there are people who are in self-denial at a moment in history which the World has never experienced before ! These folks due to their ignorance and/ secret agendas are the financial dare-devils of the 21st Century ! Let us hope they are not Malaysians !

There is a silent up-roar going on in our beloved Malaysia, the land of sunshine and blue skies today, yesterday and tomorrow.
But the veteran pundits will tell us that how many times we toss the dice, the destiny of our beloved Malaysia is or will be determined by external forces whatever they meant.
Man proposes. God disposes. We might work very hard 99% of the time to swing matters in our favour but that 1% is never controlled by us.
Are our naive, hospitable and friendly citizens and compatriots going to wake up no longer naive but hospitable and friendly ? A wisecrack advised us to be ‘kiasu’. But kiasu-land has already gone kaput due to its failed MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES WITH NO IDEAS !
And so another peep into the World of Reality which says much today.
The World is in a state of shock in which the very best minds of the developed World are at a loss on what to do next ! And for us little Malaysia, now grievely affected by the fact that we import more oil than we export ? What does the future holds for us ? We have followed the failed MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICY of the Dictator since 2003. Where did this lead us ?
Our future maybe gleaned from the World’s financial pornography which is for all to see every day thus :-

I was prepared to believe our relevant authorities/GLC boys that our beloved Malaysia has sunshine and blue skies this morning, 26 January 2016. The sky was clouded over. Unfortunately, I felt uneasy when I woke-up. I have been quite comfortable believing our relevant authorities/GLC boys until this morning. I was aroused to seek the truth as it could only be found amongst the World’s financial pornography which has become my favourite reading of unexpurgated original material for our eyes and minds only. Here are the interesting snippets which come from our nearest and dearest Singapore with increasing anxiety and angst in the land of MONEY MONEY MONEY :-

Tun, I nearly gave up looking for juicy pieces of financial pornography this morning until I chanced upon Singapore Business Times daily expressions of anxiety and angst. As usual, the daily offerings are about the United States, China and Oil. But the interesting observation is the cool and calm reports in the Nikkei and the comprehensive coverage in the FT. All give us an insight into the financial happenings at different levels in different places. As you are aware, with information we are not blind and have vision like yours.

With your kind permission, a Blogger pointed out to me that I left out the following when I presented the review of the highlights of my comments since September 2011. It is as follows :-
” Within 25 years but probably much less, Singapore will have to consider the following 5 Options for its survival and sustainability.
1. To be the 53rd State of the Union with the United States. Thereafter, the venerable Johor Straits becomes just a monsoon drain demarcated by a chain-link fence. We may say, ‘ Selamat Pagi, Amerika ‘ every morning to our neighbours the Americans across the border ! This is the best for Singapore by calling a spade a spade !
2. To be a British Colony again. Even the Scots want out !
3. To confederate with Scotland to form a Confederation of Scotmen and Chinamen with a Jewish President. The first in the World of a tele-Parliament.
4. To re-merge with Malaysia. But the ancients forbid because a good horse does not return to old pastures.
5. To remain status quo with it fractured demographics, humongous military and a failed Political System ( a godless ultra-communistic political and social system which can only exist in a one-street town governed by one person.) and the highest cost of living in the World.
How long can the juggling WITHOUT proper demographics and natural resources last ?
The Lee Kuan Yew inspired, created and promoted, the poisoned chalice for Malaysia the TPPA is now seen by Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew to be a Sword of Damocles for indefensible Singapore. What a mess created by people who thought they were smart ! Man proposes. God disposes !

Tun,
I do hope by now that reasonable and sensible Bloggers on this Distinguised and Honourable Blog hosted by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad realise my intention of displaying all the important screaming headlines from major financial news sources with the Singapore Business Times excepted, is to give an inkling to all what the World outside our beloved Malaysia with sunshine and blue skies everyday, is about.
This intention of mine is not for the small-minded, the arrogant and those who hide behind masks, pseudonyms, anonyms etc hurling all sorts of insults, abuses, snide remarks, at others who expressed the truth in comments like
‘ I STILL SAY THAT THE CLOSEST AIDES CREATED ALL THE SCANDALS AND BLAMED THEM ON OUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE (YAB) TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND OUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE (YAB) PRIME MINISTER DATO SERI NAJIB BIN TUN HAJI ABDUL RAZAK. ‘ I am confident this Statement will be proved to be near the truth in time in the near future !
I see absolutely nothing wrong with this statement which has all the ingredients of courtesy and polite expression as is typical of our classical Malaysian way of manners for centuries.
And for all except those scoundrels who are like Pavlov pets who react to the sound of the bell, thus

For the very first time in recent weeks, the Nikkei Asian Review has nothing to offer by way of crises headlines. Well-done, Nikkei Editorial !
However our nearest and dearest Singapore Business Times kept its readers on their toes with tales of financial Singapore whilst the Asian Wall Street Journal and the Financial Times London discharged their duties as alloted to them, no more, no less.
Is this the proverbial calm before the storm ? Is this a must before every operatic event before rising to a crescendo or the stillness of the forest air before the coming of a distant storm in a Beethoven Symphony ? Is our beloved Malaysia caught between an operatic hard place and a rock of a Beethoven Symphony ? One thing I can foretell is that there is no running away from one’s own excesses if the die has been cast ! Shylock will soon come a’calling !

Tun
The World’s business Chiefs now gathered in Davos are at a loss as to the cause and resolution of the present on-going melt-down of the World’s financial and commodities markets. Some say it is a normal correction. But none say this may lead to something cataclysmic. In other words, none of the Chiefs dare to put their private thoughts public.
I am of the view that since the Crash of October 2008 which were preceded by financial rumblings in 2007, the World would have suffered one titanic deflation of values if not for the humongous money injection by the Fed through the QEs.
Not only this, the overcapacity of factory production in the World especially China, the excesses in chasing for profits in the capital and commodities markets around the financial centres of the World led this dangerous merry-chase on and on to greater heights. Malaysia became heavily invested on borrowed money at the tail end of this caper with the price of oil zooming up to an all-time high of US147 per barrel. Every one thought they will live forever and forever !
For a long time, the Dow hovered around 18,000 points with no justification for this whatsoever but cheap interest rates.
The US industrial production has been anemic reflecting the weak consumer market since 2008. The much vaunted increase in employment in the US did seem to justify the exuberance of the US Government.
The money play was all in Wall Street and the commodities markets and not in Main Street. Even as late as November 2015, the US manufacturing data was weak.
It seems another QE is looming.
But some Davos pundits predicted that there will be two more hikes to come. These diverse points of view clearly illustrate the great uncertainty which has now infected the World’s top business leaders. This will undoubtedly lead to more uncertainty in 2016.
At this juncture, how I wish that your words of caution since 2003 based on your famed ‘The Creation of Money Without Money’ or ideas make money, had been taken to heart by those who were paid to listened. Alas ! This has not come about. Otherwise, our beloved Malaysia would have been the Golden Chersonese of the 21st Century.
We are now part of the motley crowd in a huge ocean of rising finanacila tsunami of indeterminate proportions to come arising from the sins of Margaret Thatcher’s Big Bang to the Big Crash of October 2008.
And after what happened in 2008, we were seduced by rising commodities and other asset prices. We plunged headlong into making all sorts of long term investments in the hope of a better tommorrow – like our beloved Malaysia with sunshine and blue skies every day, yesterday and tomorrow.
From the lists of crisis which were presented here in this Blog, I COULD DISCERN THE RISING ANXIETY IN OUR NEAREST AND DEAREST SINGAPORE AS THE WORLD ROLLS ON DAY BY DAY. THEIR MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICY FAILED IN A CRISIS OF NO NOMENCLATURE ! No one knows what was the cause. No one knows what the future will bring !
How I wish that if only your words of caution were treated as GOLD since 2003. Our beloved Malaysia would STAND PROUD AND TALL LOADED WITH CASH through this strange and new World of Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel,’Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’.
We could pick up a couple of motorcar marques and other valuable industrial assets for the benefit of the Rakyat of Malaysia. It is still not too late.
In the meantime, the World is in one humongous balloon which prevented deflation but now recession rears its ugly head as the pundits have now pointed out.
I list these crises to prove your words of caustion were ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, every day.

The World of Reality outside our borderless borders is now affected by gale force winds of the financial kind without abate. The World’s financial pornography is having a gala time reporting over and over again on the United States, China and Oil. The holy or unholy trinity according to your belief ! Here are a few examples of today which hopefully would help interested Bloggers what will be in store for them tomorrow in our beautiful land of sunshine and blue skies every day.

All things considered, Tun, it is obvious that United States is the key component in the World’s economy’s present disarray. China and Oil are but minor players in this unending financial turmoil.
In the last cataclysmic Great Depression episode following the Great Crash of 1929, it took the United States from 1931 to 1947, 16 years with a horrible World War in between, to recover and to follow by a ‘baby boom’ which ran its full course until 2007 ! Some pundits have pointed out that we have aleady spent 7 years wallowing around without making any positive headway in growth. The United States is mired somewhere between inflation and deflation both of which are undesirable.
The World’s economists are fully occupied cracking their heads in vain for answers. Gloom will only descend on Davos 2016.
However, our beloved Malaysia is still a paradise to quote Alfred Willmer. As pundits love to say, ” Yesterday was another day. Today is today ”
I still dream of Malaysia acquiring a motorcar marque sometime. It is never too late.
As the following list of thinking people may tell us,” Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Lee Kong Chian, Tan Sri Robert Kuok, Tan Sri Lee Loy Seng, Tun Daim Zainuddin, Tan Sri Syed Kechik and Tan Sri Azman Hashim ( listed according to seniority ) – IT IS THE CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY which made them great ! The ideas make the money, not money makes money !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE VERY MUCH OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !
Tun
Let me be the first to congratulate and convey the VERY BEST WISHES TO YOU FOR YOUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE BLOG ACHIEVING OVER 20,000,000 VISITS TODAY 19 January 2016.
Your Blog has become World famous and an essential tool for the World’s academia, interested politicians, Third Estate, and busy-bodies !
And now the usual collection of the once screaming headlines now muted due to the constant daily repetitive appearances of crises. We have got used to the crises. I believe that we have sunshine and blue skies as dictated by the relevant authorities/GLCs boys. Let us see what the latest financial pornography from the World of reality has got to offer !

In support of the above-mentioned items, the “R” word has cropped up in the discussions amongst the TV pundits over the weekend. This “R” or recession in the US, arose out of their observation that US manufacturing data was weak in November 2015 and there were 2 drops of 10% on two occasions by the Dow in 2014 and 2015.
Questions have now been raised whether the Fed had made a mistake in hiking the rate by just 25 basis points on the interest rate last December or not.
Lawrence Summers and some others with the same economic philosophy had advised against a rise at the present time. There is no doubt this will be the main point for debate in the coming weeks.
Some have disconnected the slow-down by China as a new normal whilst others claim China’s regulatory authorities are still learning at their jobs. The general opinion on China that the United States economy will not be affected by the restructuring/reforming exercise now taking place.
And the general opinion on the price of oil with the looming Iranian sales is that the bottom is near US$20 per barrel.
Tun if only your words of caution were taken seriously like GOLD after 2003, our beloved Malaysia would be sitting on top of a PLATINUM mountain and not GOLD by now. We could purchase a few motorcar factories too.
IT IS STILL NOT TOO LATE ! IT CAN BE DONE AT THE RIGHT TIME !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE LOVE VERY MUCH OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

Surprisingly this morning, there are very few blood-curdling headlines in my favourite pornographic financial news media. As I am also not a born-liar, Tun, I could not conjure up any to keep the excitement going. The headlines are of an anemic nature and need a heavy dose of iron. However, as I always believe in the truth and nothing but the whole truth, I will now present them ‘au natural’ without dressing them up !

All I see this morning is the dull and grey Oxford Street London weather. But our relevant authorities/GLC boys directed that this is actually sunshine and blue skies. I believe them !
But the World of reality outside our borderless borders was in utter turmoil in the financial markets yesterday.
Thanks to the goodies still left over from your 22 year long Administration, we fortunate Malaysians still have a tiny bite of the rambutan/cherry or whatever is left. Different bites for different folks ! To the World of Reality, Tun for some excitement !

Tun, I am sorry to disappoint. As they say, ‘ It was a quiet morning !’
However, some pundits have likened the present financial conundrum to the negative years after the Crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of 1931 which could only be broken by the advent of the Second World War on 7 December 1941 !
With the present scenario, the pain comes in dribs and drabs since October 2008.
The World is now in a US$3 Trillion bubble. If only this bubble could be deflated gradually and slowly. With the first Fed rate tiny increase, the jury is still out. But its effect can be seen all over the World especially China and those countries who did not have FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE and ignored good advice from good people for years !
Tun, the financial conundrum as predicted by you since 2003 will grind on little by little like a steel saw aiming for James Bond’s 007 loins. Only 007 can escape !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE VERY MUCH OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !
Tun
With all due respect, I can only provide a one-liner today. There is sunshine and blue skies in our beloved Malaysia this morning as directed by the relevant authorities/GLC boys. The reason is because the SBT of our nearest and dearest Singapore is gushing with warnings all over the place in competition with Uncle Sam’s AWSJ !

Tun, with each passing day, your warnings since 2003 have become more and more a reality to disprove the detractors.
HOW CAN ANYONE ESCAPE FROM THE HUGE US$3 TRILLION WORLD BUBBLE’S COLLAPSE BEGINNING 2009 ? IT WAS EXTREMELY FOOLHARDY TO INVEST DURING THIS PERIOD 2009-2016. ALL THE KINO, BORDERS AND MPH FINANCIAL PORNOGRAPHY SAY SO FOR ONCE ! At the slightest Fed hike, the World’s markets are now in disarray. A clear illustration that the World’s economy and the US economy are still fragile with confidence and real productivity not fully recovered.
TUN, YOU WERE RIGHT SINCE 2003 !

I have nothing to report on any excitement in our beloved Malaysia except the boring every morning sunshine and blue skies as dictated by our relevant authorities/GLC boys.
I could only find excitement in my daily early morning fix of mutton korma and roti canai at my favourite ‘ B..t..i ‘ kopitiam. Such is the wonderful life we all enjoy in our beloved Malaysia.
And looking further, we are told our beloved Malaysia is No.3 in the World Ranking for the World’s retirees. We would have been No.1 if Malaysia is only 2 hours flight from the United States.
And here is our daily fix of real exciting financial news from the World of reality outside the borderless borders of our beloved Malaysia.
Perhaps, I would explain to those who are not financially in tune with the Financial World the reason for this daily bulletin :-
1. To confirm that our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad cautions after 2003 are correct, and become more and more correct as the days go by.
2. To those interested and do not accuse me of using up the Blog’s space even though the Blog is not owned by them, I learnt this form of crystal ball reading in the early 1960s from a friend who were interested in political events.
I just applied this idea to the financial news. In time, you will notice the trend and the vision of things which may come within 1 to 6 months down the road in Malaysia. Enjoy.
Why I do this ? It is because I am a one-man show with no monopoly, business empire or a network. This form of crystal ball reading augments my monthly trips before 2000 to Singapore for business information only.
The Singapore Government was definitely curious about my to-ing and fro-ing. They only wasted the public funds.

How many of us notice that in a few days time your Distinguished and Honourable Blog would have 20,000,000 visitors since its inception in 2009 ?
How many of the Bloggers here are aware that your Blog has become an iconic institution where free speech, free thoughts and free expressions reign ?
And of late, a handful of Opposition dummies have sneaked into this Blog under the guise of giving you support. But in fact they are out to make BN fight BN !
Not to worry. Your Blog has found space for the World to have a look-see into independent comments of public events in our beloved Malaysia.
Big shots, small shots must have their daily fix of visiting your Blog at least once a day to garner the news, the opinions and ideas from the good and the great, the bad and the ugly ! So much for all that, let us turn to the highlights which were highlighted since I began to comment here in September 2011.
THE HIGHLIGHTS. 2011 -2016.
1 OUR DEMOCRACY IS MALAYSIAN STYLE FREE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND A MALAY BIAS. OUR LOYALTY AND DEVOTION ARE TOWARDS OUR YANG DI-PERTUAN AGONG, THE ROYAL SULTANS, OUR CHERISHED CONSTITUTION WHICH SAFEGUARDS ISLAM AND ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS.
2. THE SINGAPORE POLITICAL SYSTEM IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO MALAYSIA’S. LEE KUAN YEW OVER TIME FROM 1959 SURREPTIOUSLY CHANGED THE FREE DEMOCRACY OF 1959 AND WITH THE COLLUSION OF THE WEST INTO A GODLESS ULTRA-COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY HIS APPARATCHIKS aka MERITOCRATS aka INHERITORS. The GLCs were his invention which was adopted by 2 other authoritarian States, Russia and China much to their present regret. The many GLCs in Malaysia will face it impossible to survive soon.
Except for Singaporeans and Malaysians, for many years the outside World has known about the Singapore Model or authoritarian capitalism or benign dictatorship ( all dictatorships are cruel ) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.
3. When I became interested to comment in September 2011, I was aware of the huge influence which Lee Kuan Yew had with the Malaysian Chinese and a handful of Malay ‘moderate conservatives’. In any event, his stature was sometimes higher than our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad or sometimes not. I thought to myself what are the secrets which made Lee Kuan Yew such a success in our beloved Malaysia and Singapore and the World.
Since he was a public figure, the best place to begin was to delve into his public policies towards Singapore, Malaysia and the World.
By 2016, I FOUND LEE KUAN YEW HAD 47 FAILED PUBLIC POLICIES.
vide. https://thechedet.com//?p=464.
From the facts so derived, I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT HE WAS A CROOKED CONMAN AND DICTATOR WITH NO COMPASSION.
4. The insults, the abuses and the vilification of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad after 2003 drove me to find the truth about a friend whom I had known since 1972.
First, Tun did not create 47 Failed Policies which hurt the citizens and outsiders. He was never in the business of doing down the reputations and the rightful achievements of others. He had no inferior or superior complex of any kind unlike Lee Kuan Yew who was very particular on giving the right impression.
Second, Tun created single-handedly the 3 millions famillies of the Malay Middle Income Group without strife or fervour which up-lifted the 3 millions famillies of the non-Malay Middle Income Group through the purchase of the goods and services of the latter by the former.
Third, the many achievements in terms of human resource and infra-structure development are the stuff of legend concerning the Tun. Here is just one unsolicited description in honour of our beloved Tun Mahathir Mohamad
T.J.S George. Own Blog. June 2011
” The West has spread the impression that Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew is Asia’s outstanding economic miracle man while Malaysia’s Mahathir as a cantankerous ogre, hater of white people and dictator to boot. Both are dressed up portraits. What makes Mahathir special is that while pursuing economic progress he never lost sight of the larger picture of human values. That cannot be said of Lee Kuan Yew and certainly not of Indonesia’s Suharto or Thailand’s Thaksin Shinawatra. ” An unsolicited comment by one of India’s finest journalists.
Also vide. http://www.hmb.utoronto.ca/HMB303H/weekly_supp/week_o2/sen_Asian_values.pdf ” Human rights and Asian values what Lee Kuan Yew and Li Peng don’t understand about Asia.” by Amartya Sen. A distinguished Nobel Prize winner of India.
5. By scrummaging for facts on the good and the great, the bad and the ugly, I came to the 3 GOLDEN ATTRIBUTES TO BE A PRIME MINISTER eg
i) COMMONSENSE
ii) THE ABILITY TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX
iii) COMPASSION
6. And whilst I was looking high and low for all sorts of political facts on our practising politicians, I could not avoid why the Oppositon failed to take Putrajaya since 1997 ! Hence, I concluded
i) In 1997, if the Honourable and Distinguished DPM had taken a holiday in the United States, he would have returned as the Honourable and Distinguished Prime Minister of Malaysia. ONE EASY STEP.
ii) In 2008, if the Opposition had sorted out the 32 Aduns BEFORE AND NOT AFTER the General Elections, they would have been in Putrajaya since 2008. It would have cost them no money. ONE EASY STEP.
iii) In 2013, if the Opposition boycotted the 13th General Elections and checked into the 1st Class Ward of the KLGH and declared a 100 day fast to the death, they would have been in Putrajaya since April 2013. ONE EASY STEP.
7. And my honest and open comment on the closest aides and their Bosses, some of which are now collecting Stradivarius violins at
US$5 millions a piece !
” I STILL SAY THAT THE CLOSEST AIDES CREATED ALL THE SCANDALS AND PUT THE BLAME ON OUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTERS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND DATO SERI NAJIB BIN TUN HAJI TUN ABDUL RAZAK.”
8. I read the non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan ( his name in Cantonese, ‘ When you play the Devil to death ? ) and his dysfunctional crew published a non-delusional opus in the Singapore Straits Times on 5 October 2015 with the delusional title, ‘ Singapore is not an island ‘ openly kicking the ‘ MALAYSIAN CHINESE ‘ in the butt.
It was in all intention was to pass the information to the cognoscenti of politics THAT INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE’S FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE IS UMNO IN KL.’ because of her demographics which consist of 3.2 millions locals, 1.2 million FTs and 800,000 PRs of millionaires and billionaires and the new Order of Battle which made Singapore humongous military as obsolete as the dodo of Mauritius ! At the slightest sound of chaos in the Ulus, the foreigners will decamp leaving the Singaporean locals holding the can made in Singapore !
9. That the GLCs of Malaysia are grouped into 3 financial empires eg.
i) The old hodge-podge of BNM, EPF, TELEKOM. TNB, PNB, FELDA, TH etc.
ii) The pristine bailed out corporations which used to belong to the Malays now under the aegis of Khazanah.
iii) 1MDB.
I have said previously that the GLCs should be returned to the PRIVATE SECTOR AS WE ARE A WESTERN TYPE DEMOCRACY which eschews doing business using Government’s time and money.
This has led to corruption and nepotism in Russia, China and Singapore. The latter has less problems because it was micro-managed by Lee Kuan Yew who spied on the sexual peccadilloes of his underlings and their bank accounts.
With no ownership, accountability and business experience, the executives of the GLCs are actually Civil Servants, the GLCs have a murky future. And these should be returned to the PRIVATE SECTOR thus :-
i) To the new Bumiputra owners and their non-Bumiputra partners.
ii) To the original owners who did not break the law.
iii) To the incumbent Management and their non-Bumiputra partners.

These few words take into account the reality of our beloved Malaysia since the beginning of time.
There is greater emphasis in recent times due to Malaysia being astride two important waterways, the Straits of Melaka and the South China Sea and its civilised inhabitants and abundant natural resources to make the country geo-politically strategic. By knowing our worth, it is my fervent hope that for outsiders there is no such thing as a free lunch !

Today, the relevant authorities/GLC boys insist we have sunshine and blue skies even though Moody has eased Malaysia’s rating by a whisper from ‘positive’ to ‘stable’ in our land of equable weather all the year round.

I have decided to leave out my comments on our wonderful weather of sunshine and blue skies every day because we have been told the weather will be as described until March this year without a single black cloud or drop of rain from the sky ! And the exciting and factual financial news from the World of reality outside our borderless borders ? The stuff I call financial pornography ? These are increasing in intensity and volume in recent times eg.

Tun, as you understand the above information is invaluable to the cognoscenti of business. In the old days before the 21st Century and the Internet, I regularly travelled down to Singapore once a month for information on business such as these. So much so, the Singapore Government was interested in what I was doing in Singapore so regularly. This was what I did. Asked the taxi driver, my friends and all how were things in Singapore. Eat my Hainanese chicken rice at the Mandarin. Buy some books on World War Two and classical CDs, Walked around the one and only Orchard Road and return home. Why ? Because what information I got in Singapore is one month earlier than what I got in KL ! How ? This was because we naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians borrowed from Singapore banks. And as I always said to my friends,” If you visit a doctor, sometimes you strip, sometimes you don’t strip ! But every time you visit a Singaporean banker, you stripped all, right !” All my friends agreed.
This confirms your life-long vision of the future from your well-informed mind. Without information we are blind !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD CHINA AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE VERY MUCH OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

With your permission I like to explain to the the Bloggers here in this distinguished and honourable Blog the reasons for my Comments since September 2011.
First, I began without any knowledge of anything but with some hazy ideas on the publlic personalities and their reputations. As I blogged along, the facts kept popping-out in intensity !
Second, most of you have noticed and some of you found it OFFENSIVE of the repetitive nature of my comments especially on the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). (Honestly, I did not know much about this at first. But thanks to the World of the Web, there was no shortage of information on him if you know where to look ).
I am only doing this DE-NAZIFICATION ACT because he did it to all of us since early 1970s with advice from the very best psychological outfits from the West after he assumed full collusion with them.
I give you one simple example. How many of us realise the deep brainwashing in a headline like this ‘ SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA ‘.
At a glance we absorbed into our unsuspecting minds that Singapore is equal or bigger than our beloved Malaysia. Right ?
In reality, for the trained minds llke our beloved Tun, it is definitely not the case. Singapore as he had said is only 25 miles deep and Malaysia’s geographic area which stretches from Kangar, Perlis to Tawau, Sabah is 1,200 miles long. It takes more than 2 hours to fly from one end to the other !
Now I ask again, how do you see this ” MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE ” ?
This headline gives you the impression that Malaysia is greater than Singapore but still Singapore stands as an EQUAL.
The PRO-DICTATOR TYPES WILL DISMISS MY OBSERVATION AS SMALL-MINDED.
That is their opinion. It is because my opinion is based on scientific facts, Theirs is based on emotion with adoration for their IDOL.
The very first scientific experiment on dogs in this manner was called ‘ Pavlov Dogs ‘ which was performed in the 1920s.
We naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians were treated like animals for the slaughter even though the Dictator craftily and cunningly gave us a good feeling of ‘abang adek’ relationship whenever the occasion served his purpose. Smart but no compassion.
By the constant repetition of Lee Kuan Yew is great and Singapore is World’s Best, we are being fed doses of opium into our unsuspecting brains which govern our reasoning. With our judgement thus twisted, we, the Malaysians kow-tow to him. He had enslaved us without seeking a fight.
Hence, our leaders like the great Tunku, the Father of Development, Tun Abdul Razak, the strongman Tun Hussein Onn and our beloved Tun never fell for this cheap and common trick played on us Malaysians TO THIS VERY DAY !
Those who do not believe me may be invited to peruse through the Singapore Straits Times and the Singapore Business Times.
The handiwork or fingerprints are all there which were picked up by our naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysian media for years. And now some are actively co-operating with Singapore but to no avail because INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE’S DEFENCE IS UMNO IN KL WHICH IS SINGAPORE’S FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE ! Acheh !
Third, some Bloggers have observed that my Comments of late focussed on the screaming headlines of international financial events like from the United States and China, or on oil. But Malaysian events were seldom mentioned unlike many months ago.
This is because the destiny of our beloved Malaysia will be shaped by international events outside our shores. This is a fact.
This is the REALITY THAT WE ARE SUCH A SMALL COUNTRY WHICH IS NOW MADE SMALLER BY OUR VERY OWN ACTIONS UNLIKE SWITZERLAND AND JAPAN !
Unlike, the previous Administrations of the great Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and the 22 year Administratin of our beloved Tun when all Malaysians could walk TALL ESPECIALLY THE MALAYS.
What a difference MONEY MONEY MONEY makes ! It is said MONEY IS A FICKLE MISTRESS !
By observing the trend in the international financial media, we can come to a visual conclusion of future events to come without any difficulty.
This our beloved Tun has known for years because of his reach due to his many friends at home and around the World.
He is very much aware that A PERSON IS BLIND WITH NO VISION WITHOUT INFORMATION !
And do not expect any ‘CLOSEST AIDE’ OR FLUNKEY TO MAKE MONEY FOR ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES. One of them retired to collect Stradivarius violins from Cremona, Italy at US$5 millions a piece. He has a few violins !
Hence, our beloved Tun have always spoken the truth with vision and commonsense.
Some nasty people have called him a racist. How can a doctor be a racist ? Certainly, a racist cannot qualify as a doctor because a medical course takes at least 5 1/2 to 6 years to qualify. It does not pay for a doctor to be a racist. He would not have many patients in his practice !
And absurd accusations on his “authoritarian” regime just because it is a doctor’s habit to take ‘FOLLOW-UP’ notes in a black note-book or when he up-dated the laws in the light of recent events which most of us knew but never written or spoken about.
Finally, without any ammunition to shoot at our beloved Tun, the nay-sayers have to scratch the bottom of the proverbial barrel to insult, abuse and vilify him these days – MALAYSIA’S VERY OWN WORLD STATESMAN, A MALAY.
Fortunately, with the POWER OF THE WEB most of the nay-sayers have been put to the wall by the force of counter-factual arguments and not by bullets in our redoubtable Malaysian Style Democracy ! Uncle Sam please note !
I hope that explains why my Comments were made against the backdrop of facts on public personalities available to all in the World of the Web.
Fortunately, only one blogger found this OFFENSIVE. So I told him he need not read my Comments by just closing his eyes! At least he did not say my Comments STINK ! I thank him for this.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE VERY MUCH OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

The proposed reclamation of the sea off the southern coast of Pulau Pinang or the Pearl of the Orient should be scrapped by the State Government.
vide. ‘RECLAMATION ONLY WAY TO FUND RM27B PROJECT’ New Straits Times. 8 January 2016.
I have never been so moved like many of my compatriots that our beloved and beautiful Malaysia inhabited by civilised and sensible people from different civilizations go on a binge of destruction of our eco-environment in recent years.
The wanton clearing of the forests in Cameron Highlands, the unregulated bauxite mining along rivers, the surreptious logging of forests in most States, the poaching of the denizens of the forests, etc by people who should know what is best.
And on top of all these wanton acts, we are now faced with the prospect of the beautiful island of Pulau Pinang being denuded of its natural attractions by official command.
There are many ideas to further the enhancement of the beauty of Pulau Pinang without disruption of its inhabitants and eco-system. If the think tank of the State Government takes a step backwards and ponder, the ideas and the answers are all inside their heads.
First and this is basic, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP leadership must wean themselves from the derring-dos of their homeland Singapore. Singapore is Singapore, Penang is Penang. It is chalk and cheese. The twain shall never meet !
Second, at the last count, the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew had 47 failed Policies to his name. What he has left behind are the glittering buildings which originated from the ideas of Dr Alfred Winsemius, the UN expert and Advisor to the Singapore Government 1961-1984. His policies on Humankind mainly failed because of his lack of compassion.
Third, any Master Plan for Pulau Pinang should cover a period of 25 years. As long as Pulau Pinang is treated like any island with no resources, then forever the island will remain as it is. This is where the ingenuity of a person’s mind come into play. Ideas make money, not money makes money, like Lee Kong Chian, Tan Sri Robert Kuok, Tan Sri Lee Loy Seng, Tun Daim Zainuddin, Tan Sri Syed Kechik and Tan Sri Azman Hashim. ( Listed according to seniority )
Fourth, the basic problem on the island is the sewage system in Georgetown with its old roads and monsoon drains.The sewage can only flow north to Batu Ferringhi.
Fifth, the present State Government has been incumbent since 2008, 7 years ago and now it comes up with a conventional Master Plan which any ordinary person could produce to alleviate the transport problem. What happened for 7 years ?
Sixth, I agree that property development is a must in any emerging economy. But this is not the panacea to solve a State’s revenue problem if this industry is not properly regulated.
Seventh, even the non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew lost their patience with the ‘DELUSIONAL CHINESE’ who seemed to have lost the plot and became SOCIAL WORKERS. He underlined what Singapore has always been with the delusional title to his opus, ‘ Singapore is not an island.’ If Pulau Pinang wants to progress, it cannot ape Singapore but realises that it is really not an island.
Eighth, the road to riches and success is in the brains of the ruling State Government of Pulau Pinang. It is all there. But who has the key and courage to unlock all these goodies for the good of Pulau Pinang and its Rakyat which indirectly benefit our beloved Malaysia too ?
Ninth, think hard, think high, think low, all you Aduns in power in Pulau Pinang. The answers are inside all your heads. There is really no need to reclaim the sea which is slow and expensive. There are so many cheaper ways to raise State revenue and to make the Rakyat happy.
Sea reclamation is not the way !

I got fed-up looking for sunshine and blue skies day after day and did not find any. This morning I decided to get up before sunrise which I usually did every morning. I decided to forget about the advice of the relevant authorities/GLC boys. And I peeped out into the World of Reality. What a surprise ! I found that the Nikkei Asian Review and the Asian Wall Street Journal had their news focussed on the Big Bang in North Korea and not much else on the economics.
But surprise again ! The Singapore Business Times carried nearly a full page of the worst and the Financial Times had its balance quota of the good and the bad ! OK ! I got some bad news. I do not need to cook up some because I am not a born liar !
I give pride of place to th Singapore Business Times which its KL ‘jack of all trades’ master journalist used to give pompous advice to the Federal Government on how to handle Malaysia’s economy once a week. This suddenly stopped in January 2013. Now, I know why ! It is alleged he is married to a Malaysian !

As usual I looked high and low for the sunshine and blue skies in our beloved Malaysia this morning. I could not find any. All I could see was the Oxford Street London’s no sunshine and dull grey sky. This granted. And the sunshine and blue skies as foretold to us by the relevant authorities/GLC boys for our beloved Malaysia, there were’nt any. Fearing for the worst, I peeped into the World of reality outside our borderless borders. Low and behold ! There was not a speck of adverse news anywhere in the far horizon. OMG ! I have to cook up something to keep up the day of horrors trend which was Monday 4 January 2016. I could not because I am not a born liar ! What to do ? After I looked high and low, and low again, I only manage to secure a small piece of low news within our borderless borders for the very first time eg.

There is a song, ‘ What a beautiful morning ! What a beautiful day !’ Oops ! I looked out of my bedroom window and expected what the relevant authorities/GLC boys had foretold. All I saw was the Oxford Street London weather of no sunshine and a dull grey sky. Smart the GLC boys who put up a Houdini/David Copperfield TV advert all over the place which showed something you can see and then, you don’t. Such is the power of magic to give us the impression that they were not in Oxford Street London, Paris, the Swiss Alps and Hong Kong but at home in the hot and humid clime.

The use of the Singapore Straits Times to report with a slant on the domestic Malaysian politics is another Failed Policy of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
This is Failed Policy 46. It is a general knowledge that our Father of the Nation, Tunku Abdul Rahman had an understanding with the Dictator, Lee Kuan Yew that their countries’ media should not publish negative news on each other’s politics. Only Malaysia kept to her word.
And the Failed Policy 47 on the Batu Pahat-Muar-Muar River Line of defence which had been overcome by the new Order of Battle. This new thinking made the whole humongous Military of Singapore obsolete.
The facts on the failure of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) have upset Malaysians who thought he was their Great Supporter, Saviour and Mental Comforter.
Factual events showed that he made use of these gullible folks who hunger for support from all and sundry. Wikileaks. Singapore Spies.
In politics, no one is a friend until one is in power. Vide Wikiileaks and Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfuncional crew who not only correctly wrote off the
‘ DELUSIONAL CHINESE ‘ in the Opposition Front. But also, by indirect insinuation, the ‘DELUSIONAL CHINESE’S ‘ friends of the Opposition as well. This was the biggest blow to the 50 year dream of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP and their friends.
The FORMER HAD THE JOB OF DELIVERING THE SUPPORT OF THE DICTATOR’S SINGAPORE. With this non-event, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP has become a NON-STARTER.
Again, the patience of Singapore as expressed by non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew came to a breaking point after 3 EASY STEPS TO GRAB POWER IN PUTRAJAYA FAILED BY THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP AND ITS DYSFUNCTIONAL CREW. Now, they have to KICK THE BUTTS OF THE DELUSIONAL CHINESE ! This gave rise to mental anxieties to their allies who now pick at any straw to hit out at innocents like me who only stated the facts as these become available. Vide. Bilahari Kausikan’s non-delusional opus in the Straits Times 5 October 2015 with the delusional title, ‘ Singapore is not an island.’ to kick the ‘DELUSIONAL CHINESE’ IN THE BUTTS !
The 3 Easy Steps for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to grab Putrajaya which they missed over so many years !
1. In 1997, if our Distinguished and Honourable Deputy Prime Minister had taken a holiday in the United States, he would have returned as the Distinguished and Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia. One Easy Step.
2. 1n 2008, if the Singapore Trojan Horse DAP and their friends had sorted out the 32 Aduns BEFORE and NOT AFTER the General Elections, they would be in power in Putrajaya. It is now seen that it would cost them no money. One Easy Step.
3. In 2013, if the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP with their friends had boycotted the 13th General Elections and declared a 100 day-fast to death by checking into the 1st Class Ward of the KLGH with the international media in tow, they would have been in Putrajaya since April 2013. One Easy Step.
Factually, the 3 EASY STEPS TO POWER IN PUTRAJAYA ARE COMMONSENSE.
Hence, the utterances by the Pulau Pinang State Government that the reclamation of the sea to fund the Transport Master Plan will beg more questions than answers arising from the fact that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP could not think out the 3 Easy Steps from 1997 – 2013. 16 years is a very long time in politics !

Since 2003, no responsible leader seems to make New Year resolutions anymore.
From this point, it was one long and fast road down to the unknown.
The unknown is because we have discarded our centuries old traditions and conventions which were with us since the good old days of the Royal Sultans centuries ago. With the rough seas now buffeting us from the outside World, our good and beloved ship, RMS Malaysia is sailing on in the believe that we have sunshine and blue skies everyday, yesterday and tomorrow, without monetary ballast.
How long before this good ship will turn turtle is not even a 64,000 dollar question ?
The last straw was the attempt by the Pulau Pinang State Government to reclaim the sea.
Only Singapore and Hong Kong reclaim the sea. The former copy British Hong Kong in the 1970s to balance their deficit. Perhaps, some Gulf States have done it. But the likes of Hawaii and other beautiful scenic islands, reclamation of the sea is banned. It is VERBOTEN !
I have asked my friends, ‘Have you ever met a stupid Chinaman ?’ They always replied in unison, ‘No !’ I would continue, ‘ But you have met some who are so very clever as to be stupid ?’ My friends without hesitation would give me a puzzled look. Then, without a pause, I would continue by rolling out a few household names. My friends inevitably agreed and roared with laughter ! Unfortunately, the hero for many Malaysians, Lee Kuan Yew topped the list.
Yes ! The adoption of the MONEY MONEY MONEY policy of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) has brought our beloved Malaysia and her citizens into all sorts of strife since 2003.
Attempts were made to move into the driving seat of our great Nation. The Khazanah and our Pandora’s Box were open for the taking.
For a time, the naive friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times was helmed by a hard-core PAP operative from Singapore. He only felt comfortable with a lush Sime Darby contract on his lap in the hot Ulus !
Since 2003, our Malaysian Dream and Style of Living have practically disappeared. We now have to depend on hand-outs of a few ringgits from the Government. The chance to get a good job to better ourselves, our wives and children has all but disappeared in the long period from 2003. I have personally met young couples who told me that they do not want children.
And what do we see every day of sunshine and blue skies ?
Billions and billions of ringgits controlled by the few in the GLCs sloshing around in deals overseas. Assets are bought by the billions of ringgits. If mistakes have been made, these assets are sold in billions of ringgits. No problem. Not to lose after the Ringgit’s depreciation is a virtue. These deals are all done in the name of making money for the stakeholders, the Rakyat at a time of hardships for the Rakyat, double inflation, the shortage of jobs, the competition for foreign investment all round by other countries, the lack of social welfare services for all and the disappearance of our cherished Malaysian Dream !
And the result is that our beloved Malaysia has achieved one of the highest level of scandals in the World !
As long as, we are in the MONEY MONEY MONEY business through the GLCs, it can only get worse because the die is cast when the Fed increased the base interest rate in December 2015.
All the bets are off. The Devil takes the hindmost ! Conventionally, this Policy will have to be implemented at least twice, April and October of 2016. There will be more to come after the American Presidential Elections in November 2016.
How long can we rely on our good friends like China for the baksheesh ?
Again, the imprudent attempt by the Pulau Pinang State Government to ape its overlord, Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore is a travesty of commonsense and our Malaysian Style of Living.
Indiscriminate concrete development all over the island, knocking off the well-ensconced style of living of its inhabitants in the name of progress and development with an Administration which is NORMAL AND SHOULD BE NORMAL but not smart. To be smart, do the Master Plan without any Singaporean interference and leave out all the Penang Hill and sea reclamation developments. The State will make more money by being ORIGINAL AND NOT COPY-CAT OF A FAILED STATE WHICH IS SINGAPORE.
Singapore is as different from the Pearl of the Orient, Pulau Pinang as chalk and cheese.
The reasons for this are sheer commonsense.
The Dictator wanted to show how clever he was to measure himself up to Malaysia, eye-ball to eye-ball. He failed and ended up with 45 Failed Policies. He did his best and at the end of the day, Destiny had the better measure of him since 1989 with the end of the Cold War (1948-1989) when events went out of his control.
The lush profits of the Cold War years for Singapore were washed away with Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, ” Globalization, Free Trade and Human Rights.”. All these were anathema to the commercial activities of Singapore eg smuggling, hard and soft arms trade, sanctions breaking, Myanmar and North Korea, salvage of Vietnam War debris etc. during the Cold War years.
Anyone could now buy the AK47 anywhere without going to Singapore ? From a uni-polar World, the World has become multi-polar. Singapore’s traditional trade was swamped. By the turn of the 21st Century, Singapore’s GDP took a steep dive and unemployment raised its ugly head.
Yet, the Pulau Pinang State Government still want to pursue the ELUSIVE DREAM OF THE DICTATOR OF MONEY MONEY MONEY !
This Policy has failed miserably in Singapore. Just look at the demography ! 3.2 millions locals, 1.2 million FTs and 800,000 PRs. Singapore’s GDP has been hanging by a thread for many years since 2000 !
And look at the MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICY through the Singapore invented GLCs of our Federal Government too. And go further, look at what the GLCs are doing in China and Russia on a huge scale – CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM.
And we find the Pulau Pinang State Government without any natural resources and a diverse population trying to garner big bucks by doing EXACTLY WHAT THE FAILED POLICIES OF THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT DID which brought ruination through the mass of concrete structures without compassion. This failed Policy will bring a high cost of living and inflation to Pulau Pinang.
I have so many commonsense ideas for the NORMAL AND PROFITABLE DEVELOPMENT of Pulau Pinang. These are all there within the environs of the State. There is no necessity to go for sea reclamation which is destructive and expensive.
What did Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew say ? They said that ‘Singapore is not an island.’ And so is Pulau Pinang which in practice with a vision for the future is also NOT AN ISLAND !
In recent days, the Chief Minister of Pulau Pinang admitted that sea reclamation is the only way to fund the transport system ! Just like that ! Sir, there are so many ways to bake a cake to garner big revenue for the State coffers !
A LAZY BRAIN GETS US HUMANKIND NOWHERE !
Here is a fellow who should have my 3 GOLDEN ATTRIBUTES TO QUALIFY AS A PRIME MINISTER OR CHIEF MINISTER eg.
1. COMMONSENSE. Be orignal. Do not copy. I do not understand why our Federal Government and the Pulau Pinang State Governments are COPY-CATS OF SINGAPORE – THE WORST AND FAILED STATE TO COPY. Actually, these folks copy the BLUFFOLOGY. Hence, they missed because there is nothing there but hot air from the Ministry of Information, Singapore.
2. THE ABILITY TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX. Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir’s solid achievements of a life-time now shine like gold with a beautiful patina.( It’s not a girl’s name !)
3. COMPASSION ( and have a life-style like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew – frugal, honest and hard-working ).
Now I am not surprised for the reason why Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew kicked these ‘DELUSIONAL CHINESE’ in the butt.
These ‘Delusional Chinese’ have no original ideas and blame all except themselves for failing to think and do the obvious. Politics is only an easy excuse for this inept failure.
THE BASIC THINKING FOR THE MASTER PLAN DEVELOPMENT OF PULAU PINANG IS THAT PULAU PINANG IS NOT AN ISLAND.
From here, dear Chief Minister you tap the World as one jolly Minister recently said, ‘The World is our Oyster ‘. Lucky Minister who could flash away at the drop of a hat ! Who cares whether the TPPA is good or bad, black or white ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

The first day of the New Year in our beloved Malaysia is the same as last year which was yesterday – full of sunshine and blue skies. However, the World’s screaming headlines from the outside World have become monotonous with the reality news eg.
1. ” CHINA MANUFACTURING CONTINUES TO SHRINK ” Financial Times
1 January 2016.
2. ” FT PREDICTIONS – THE FUTURE IS HERE. ” Financial Times. 1 January 2016

With your permission, an amendment to my last Comment.
” MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD, CHINA AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH ! By the next 14th General Election, the recalcitrant 95% delusional Chinese could return to the BN fold after being kicked in the butt by the non-delusional Bilahar Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew ? Majulah Singapura ?
Tun
Why is the Penang Government so confident that it has no other ideas but to reclaim the sea to fund its transport plans? Here are 3 examples that if they had the ideas, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP would have won at least 3 General Elections hands down and be ensconced in Putrajaya by now.
1997. If the the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister had taken his holiday in the United States, he would have returned as the Honourable Prime Minister.
2008. If the 32 Aduns had been sorted out before the 12th General Elections, and not an attempt to do it after, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP would have been in Putrajaya since 2008. It would have cost them no money as we can see it.
2013. The Singapore Trojan Horse DAP lost its finest hour when the Opposition could have boycotted the 13th General Election and checked into the lst Class Ward of the KLGH with the international media in attendance for a 100-day starve to death strike.(No one has lasted this long). The DAP would have been in Putrajaya since April 2013.
Of course, the DAP thought they had the best ideas to win according to their exclusive thinking and years of sterling service as social workers since 1966.
Its venerable leader recently claimed he dreamt for 50 years with an indication another 50 years is no problem.
Of course, this confrims what I have said before that the DAP leadership twiddled their thumbs and contemplated their navels since 1966 and did not contribute to the National Development Effort. it is no problem when the leadership had access to legal and tax-free Federal and State emoluments, legal Party salaries, legal non-Arab donations etc which if counted from 1966 would amount to many millions of legal ringgits. Malaysian Politics is truly a sound and profitable profession for 3 generations !
The super complacency of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP triggered the non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew to publish an opus with the delusional title ‘Singapore is not an island’ to kick the ‘DELUSIONAL CHINESE’ in the butt ! Only the departed Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) tolerated them because they saw eye to eye with each other.
Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had always said ‘ A week is a long time in politics.’
Whilst there was such an easy opportunity for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to be in Putrajaya on 3 occasions, their lackadaisical thinking failed them. Will there be any credence on the sea reclamation utterances now by the Penang Government ? The DAP could not take-over Putrajaya in 3 easy steps which they missed out totally.
And there was one General Election in which 95% Delusional Chinese supported them. Yet, they remained steadfast as SOCIAL WORKERS AND APPARENTLY BUNGLED IN THE PEARL OF THE ORIENT, PULAU PINANG ! If the Singapore inspired Master Plan could not provide the answer, it is not expected the Penang State Government could fill the void.
And for so many years as the Penang State Government, there was nothing earth shattering but only NORMAL Administration which any NORMAL ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE should perform NORMALLY. This is nothing SPECIAL.
It is best that the sea reclamation be scrapped and seek fresh ideas from OUTSIDE OF SINGAPORE ITS SPIRITUAL HOMELAND on how to uplift the whole of the Pearl Orient in its entirely. Quarreling will not get any one anywhere.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

A surprising headline sprung up today.
” No choice but to reclaim land to fund transport plans. ” It was an admission that whoever administers Pulau Pinang has run out of white rabbits from the hat.
A Master Plan suitable for Singapore was produced. There was nothing much else original, visionary, creative, and innovative to turn Pulau Pinang the Pearl of the Orient into a unique World Class holiday destination for tourists. The Singapore inspired Master Plan was all about CONCRETE WITHOUT COMPASSION.
With the right developmental approach, 20 million tourists or more than Singapore would visit Pulau Pinang with its Heritage sites, pristine beaches, fishermen’s villages, Penang Hill, the cuisine and much more.
But to cover the Pearl of the Orient with CONCRETE WITHOUT COMPASSION is a travesty of commonsense and our Malaysian Style of Life.
There was nothing in the Master Plan on the infamous Georgetown sewage which flowed continuously to Batu Ferringhi since the 18th Century and the smelly monsoon drains. What do the Singaporeans know about this ?
The Singaporeans have no locus standi on any development on Pulau Pinang considering the fact that their erstwhile Dictator implemented 45 Failed Policies in his lifetime some of which are being cleaned up by his Inheritors with embarassment. If they think Penang Hill is like Bukit Timah and Mount Faber, to be chopped down for development, then, the destruction of the Pearl of the Orient by vandals is a certainty.
The Penang Institute is a establishment which cannot be compared with INSEAS. The latter was established in 1972 to brain-wash young political aspirants of UMNO by inviting them to give a talk. The following morning the Straits Times would laud them sky high. The names are all recorded in the Straits Times library – the time bombs for Singapore. These aspirants thought the Dictator would be their friend. But he spied on their sexual peccadilloes. Vide. Wikileaks. No Malaysian Chinese was ever invited since 1972.
There are so many low-cost ideas to create big revenue with a WIN-WIN situation for all and the Pulau Pinang State Government. And yet, those responsible seem to miss all of the low-cost ideas by not being able to get out of their politically exclusive thinking cap. Why always Singapore ?
Once the prisine beaches of Pulau Pinang and their idyllic fishermen’s villages are destroyed wantonly. This damage will be forever. Just look at Honolulu. And again, Pulau Pinang is the only easily accessible unique holiday destination in the World with its World Heritage site, pristine beaches, Penang Hill, historical sites, Georgetown, cuisine and many many more.
The THINKING OF THE PULAU PINANG STATE ADMINISTRATION IS WAY BELOW THAT OF THE SINGAPORE’S DICTATOR WHO WAS TOO THOROUGH AND LEFT NO STONE UNTURNED. Both have proved detrimental to developmental progress by being not NORMAL.
HOW CAN PULAU PINANG WITH ALL ITS HUMAN, NATURAL AND HISTORICAL RESOURCES HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RECLAIM THE SEA TO FUND ITS TRANSPORT SYSTEM ! Such a negative statement shows the limitation of the human mind in question !
I still say that there are many low cost ideas to raise revenue for Pulau Pinang if ‘Penang is not an island.’ Pour le vouz francais ?
THINK ! THINK LIKE OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, A MALAY, WHO SINGLE-HANDEDLY WITHOUT STRIFE OR FERVOUR RAISED 3 MILLION MALAY FAMILLIES OF THE MIDDLE INCOME GROUP WHICH UPLIFTED THE 3 MILLION NON-MALAY FAMILLIES OF THE MIDDLE INCOME GROUP THROUGH THE PURCHASES OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES OF THE LATTER BY THE FORMER. He had no dysfunctional advisers. Go to the Malls and look. At the same time, the Dictator (1959-2015) screwed down the Singaporean indigenous population 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. This shortfall had to be filled in by foreign imports of FTs and PRs. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011
IT IS HIGH TIME THE DELUSIONAL AND INCOMPETENT MALAYSIAN CHINESE ON PULAU PINANG SHOW BILAHARI KAUSIKAN AND HIS DYSFUNCTIONAL CREW THAT WITH THE POWER AND WILL WHICH THEY POSSESS, THEY COULD THROW AWAY THE SINGAPORE CONTRIVED MASTER PLAN FOR PULAU PINANG ! To proceed with the reclamation of the sea is but a submission of a lack of BRAIN POWER OF THE DELUSIONAL MALAYSIAN CHINESE now incumbent in the Pulau Pinang State Government. Throw away the Singapore Master Plan of CONCRETE WITHOUT COMPASSION. Do it the Malaysian Way ! And you should be proud.
HOW COULD PULAU PINANG COPY A FAILED STATE WHICH HAS TO RELY ON OUR ICONIC UMNO AS THE FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE FOR INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE ? This is unthinkable not too long ago.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !

At the last count there were 44 Failed Policies of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew. And now one of the finest Failed Policies has come to hand.
It is the latest recognition by the non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew that
” THE FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE OF INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE IS OUR ICONIC UMNO.”
With this revelation, the total count by year’s end 2015 is 45.

With your permission, I wish to add to my previous Comment. ” Lee Kuan Yew qualifies to be labelled a crooked conman and Dictator (1959-2015). If he had been NORMAL like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a Great Statesman of the World, he would have been a Great Statesman too. Unfortunately, his 44 Failed Policies belie whatever good showcase he had created for himself! “
Tun
No review on the tiny isle of the Republic of Singapore is complete without a factual review on Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
And from the facts gathered, why he should be labelled as a crooked conman and Dictator. In order to form a full picture of an apparently complex personality who turned out to have just a simple and straightforward mental make-up upon a deeper study of his Public Policies of which 44 major ones failed in his life-time.
I now declare again at the outset that I am not anti-Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore or the Singaporeans. In fact, before his rise to power and implemented measures to force the Singaporeans to think more and more about MONEY MONEY MONEY, Singapore was a shopping paradise with its Change Alley and its hospitable and friendly people. All these changed with the his times.
I have always said Lee Kuan Yew’s behaviour like frugality, honesty and hard-workingness is like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. They could have been good friends if they had exchange remarks on their own virtues in their life-times.
And I have also said that Lee Kuan Yew did not have any commonsense because he relied on his 1947 brilliance in Law from the University of Cambridge, being very good at crossing the ‘ts’ and dotting the ‘is’. He kept his law books right to the end.
Further, Lee Kuan Yew could not think out of the Box because of his character, his legal brilliance and his lust to retain power. But he was smart enough to gather the best UN economics expert, Dr Alfred Winsemius, adviser to the Singapore Government 1961-1984, and the best available talent of his time, around him to pick their brains as he consolidated his political power and position which ended with his creation of the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats aka Inheritors.
And his invention of the GLCs which were incorporated into the System under his micro-management to be tailor-fitted for his own ambitions to sustain Power and Control over the whole works.
As our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had too much compassion because he is a religous person who upheld the highest ideals of Islam and was also born with the right virtues because of his good parents, Lee Kuan Yew’s origins from a poorer Straits Chinese background of good parents, did not provide the requisite compassionate ballast for his eventual political leadership of a small country. This Dr Freud of Vienna can only explains. Compassion Lee Kuan Yew had none. He even expressed this negativity thus, ” Sometimes in a crisis, we must grow barnacles in our hearts.”
Since Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) talked so much about his alma mater, the University of Cambridge, let us examine what made Cambridge ticked.
The University was formed by a group of monks from the University of Oxford which had strict religious rules and curbed freedom. This forced them to emigrate to the Fens in East Anglia, England to establish their own University in the 14th century. To survive to this day, individual colleges backed by beneficiaries were established one after another at a slow pace. To qualify as an undergraduate, the applicant not only has to take an Open Entrance Examination against all-comers but must have the requisite Latin or Greek as well. This was only dispensed with sometime in the 1960s. Lee Kuan Yew with his glib-tongue talked himself into the bottom-most rung non-college, Fitzwilliam House by the back door, without Latin and did not take the Open Entrance Examination. This is a fact. The rest is history.
Then, what does the Cambridge University stands for ? It is not the many Nobel Prize winners which were produced or the many famous political leaders like Nehru, Manmohan Singh, Anand Panyarachun, etc or great scientists, literary figures, generals or the infamous treasonous trio, Blunt, Maclean and Burgess or the thousands of graduates which built up the World but what the University inculcated or represented in the minds of the Alumni eg. The Freedom of Speech. The Freedom of Thought. The Freedom of Expression. This is why Cambridge is one of the important heralds of Western Civilization in keeping with Democracy as practised in the West.
And Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) by the time of his departure, overturned all that are good about the University of Cambridge, not only through his 44 Failed Policies but his whole life was corrupted by absolute power, vanity and fear – the fear of losing out. As the United States President, Franklin D. Roosevelt said in 1931 after the Great Crash of 1929, ‘ There is no greater fear than the fear of fear itself !’
Hence, Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) aptly fits the label, crooked conman and Dictator.
I have mentioned the list of 44 Failed Polices of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). In November 2015, I added two more to make up 44. This was (43) The purchase of university academics to bolster the annual rankings of Singapore’s universities.’ and (44) ‘ The Policy to undermine the reputations and successes of the Malaysian Prime Ministers outside the borders of Malaysia.’
Let us review the important Failed Policies out of the 44 known Failed Policies which you may refresh in my Comments here at this Blog.
1. The Creation of the Godless Ultra Communistic and Social System imposed on the citizens without their knowledge by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy from 1970s-1980s which brought on human suffering like sterilization, abortions, suicides, divorces, mental illness amongst not only the couple but also their relatives, imposiion of income tax on recalcitrant couples etc.
Only Hitler did this and from 1982, Deng Xiao Peng who had no capitalistic experience dealing with capitalism and nepotism. Now, China has just permitted 2 Child Family again from a 1 Child Family.
With, the aping of the corruption and nepotism prone GLCs invented by the Dictator, China now regrets with the tough job of dislodging the politically connected recalcitrants.
The 2 Child Family Policy has brought the good people of Singapore to their knees because they account only 62% of the population in 2010. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.
To bolster the GDP, 1.2 million FTs and 800,000 PRs millionaires and billionaires were imported. This is the Achilles Heel which makes Singapore INDEFENSIBLE. Because the slightest sign of unrest in the ULUS, all the foreigners will decamp for greener pastures leaving the very old and very rich Singaporeans holding the can made in Singapore. The GDP just disappears overnight with the foreigners !
Hence, with INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE STARING AT THEIR FACES, the non-delusional Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew will now dismantle the 44 Failed Policies of the crooked conman and Dictator, Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015)in a hurry.
They tried not to tell one and all that Singapore now loves our iconic UMNO because in their strategic thinking. UMNO HAS NOW BECOME THE FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE FOR INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE. Acheh ! Vide Bilahari Kausikan non-delusional opus in Straits Times on 5 October 2015 with the delusional title ‘Singapore is not an island’ kicking the delusional Malaysian Chinese in the butt. This fact is known to the cognoscenti of Malaysian politics since the beginning of time.
3. The life long Policy to do down Malaysia. This in turn created another Failed Policy, the poisoned chalice TPPA which only benefits Singapore and kills of the Malays and the Malaysians like the Red Indians of North America. They signed without understanding and died without a whimper.
No one until only yesterday did raise the spectre of re-labelled tariff free Singaporean goods flooding the Federation, shutting down factories and raising unemployment followed by chaos and unrest with the possible fall of the BN Government. Vide. The Sun 28 December 2015.
” ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND THE TPPA ” Quote ,’ Article 20.18 promotes environmental goods and services with no trade barriers…..This will leave us with in-flow of PRODUCTS as well as SERVICES.’ unquote.
This confirms what a Civil Servant said the other day that he still has a lot to learn to perform better at future negotiations for Trade Agreements.
Dear Civil Servant no more 19 ultra secret negotiations of fun and games please at the expense of the Rakyat !
The TPPA and its expected deleterious effects on our beloved Malaysia is now the prerogative of Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew to neutralize it which was the inspired, created and promoted by the cunning and crafty Dictator to kill our beloved Malaysia. He ran out of time. What goes round comes around ! As I always said never harm anyone !
THE TPPA IS NOW SINGAPORE’S PROBLEM NOT OURS !
4. The Policy to buy out Thaksin’s business so that he would not construct the Isthmus of Kra Canal, this inadvertently caused the deaths and injuries to hundreds of innocent Thai men, women and children and brought on 2 coup d’etats. This Policy also brought the robust and dynamic Singaporean managers and workers into limbo because with no activity at the Canal site, all these good people are languishing in Singapore since 2000, a period of 15 years.
5. The loss of US$ 108 billions on Wall Street in October 2008. The Dictator said in the Channelnewsasia in November 2008 that Singapore’s investments were locked in for 30 years. There were no explanations or complaints. There was an eerie silence to this very day. The Boss took on the blame with honourableness and dignity.
6 – 44 Failed Policies are encapsulated in my previous Comments on this Blog !
Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) qualifies to be labelled a crooked conman and Dictator, an alumnus of the venerable University of Cambridge.

For HBT000. It is absurd for you to say that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP cannot replace the PAP ! How can the DAP do so when its venerable leader was alleged to carry the dear Dictator’s briefcase as his aide at the tender age of 26 !
Pulau Pinang is such a wonderful World class island. The Pearl of the Orient. With the RIGHT DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH, IT CAN BE WORLD’S BEST because it has everything for a perfect holiday destination for the World ! For so many years, the Administration just could not get their act to be World class because what should be NORMAL is treated as SPECIAL !
The present Administration just want to cover the Pearl with concrete, remove the beautiful Penang Hill and extirpate the poor fisherfolk who actually play an important part in Penang’s economy as a cultural attraction to the foreign tourists and sell their fish to the luxury liners ! Once the fisherfolk are gone, there will be no more cultural tourist attraction like this forever.
I have so many low-cost ideas to create big money for the benefit of Pulau Pinang and its people. Yet, the Penang Administration seems to miss them all except to ape spiritual homeland Singapore which came up by brutalising Democracy and its own citizens to create a glittering concrete showpiece with no heart and soul.
If the Administration gets mixed-up with the contractors who do not need an education to be a contractor, then, the Administration can only think like a contractor – more land clearing, more concrete, more unhappiness all round.
Think like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with Vision, Creativity and Innovation ! The ingredients of a beneficial development of the whole of Penang are there to be put into a meaningful picture.
See the dangerous influence of a failed Alumnus from the University of Cambridge which will ultimately destroy what is good for Pulau Pinang and its people – his style ‘CONCRETE WITHOUT COMPASSION’ !
Follow the Way of the Tun with Vision, Creativity, Innovation and Compassion. It is not too late.
In this game of development for the benefit for the people, there is no loss of face, or loss of cleverness or smartness.
It is the ideas which matter that will cut through apparent problems like a knife through butter. It is that simple and easy.
Think ! The answers are all in the heads of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP leadership how to make the fisherman and all happy and contented with lots of revenue or money !
Think ! Think like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. And visualize beyond your numbskulls !
If you are still at a loss, go and ask our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad or Tun Daim (the people who think) for answers to save the fisherfolk and the World Class heritage of Pulau Pinang.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !
Tun,
For sure we have our daily dose of reality news from the World outside our borderless borders. How the Sun and the deep blue skies knew that our relevant authorities are on holiday in Oxford Street, London, I do not know ? The Sun and the deep blue skies are also on holiday it seems. This morning was no morning at all. The deep grey sky dominated the whole morning. Maybe, it was to underline the gloomy news from the outside World. Here are a few of the screaming and gloomy World headlines :-
1. ” CHINA SLOWDOWN HITS HOME FOR MULTI-NATIONAL INDUSTRIALS ” – Nikkei Asian Review 28 December 2015.
2. ” JAPAN NOV OUTPUT FALLS AS SOFT GLOBAL DEMAND CLOUDS OUTLOOK ” –
Nikkei Asian Review 28 December 2015.
3. ” JAPAN NOV FACTORY OUTPUT DOWN 1% ON MONTH. ”
Singapore Business Time 28 December 2015.
4. ” OIL DROP RISKS KILLING OFF ENERGY GROUPS ”
Financial Times London 28 December 2015.
5. ” MUTUAL FUNDS BURNT BY ENERGY IN 2015. ”
Financial Times London 28 December 2015.
6. ” CHINA TELEKOM FALLS AS CHIEF INVESTIGATED.”
Financial Times London 28 December 2015.
This confirms what I have been saying all the time – the inevitability of CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM in any GLC anywhere.

For HBT000. Sorry ! Your latest guff on your homeland Singapore is completely out of date since your Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew came up the the non-delusional spiel with the delusional title ‘ Singapore is not an island ‘ in the Straits Times on 5 October 2015. As you may not aware, the Republic of Singapore within less that 25 years, more likely now nearer 15 years, has to consider the following 5 OPTIONS :-
1. To become the 53rd State of the United States. After which, the venerable Johor Straits becomes a monsoon drain with a chain-link as our common border. Every morning, we may say ‘Selamat Pagi Amerika’ to the Americans across the hallowed fence !
2. To become a British Colony again. Even the Scots are itching to get out !
3. To confederate with the Scots to form a confederation of Scotsmen and Chinamen with a Jewish President. The first World’s Best TeleParliament in the World.
4. To re-merge with Malaysia, but the ancients forbid as a good horse does not return to old pastures.
5. To maintain status quo, how with the World’s highest cost of living and a humongous foreign manned military and an indigenous population of only 60% of the whole ?
HBT000. The way for Singapore to survive are the following :-
1. Discard the Dictator’s 44 Failed Policies.
2. Come down to Earth that Humankind can never outfox its Destiny even if the fellow had a wartime Starred Double First in Law from Cambridge University !
MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES. Even China reverts to Confucius to believe in something to keep her huge population honest and law-abiding.
3. Instead of throwing good Singapore Dollars after BAD and chasing the four-legged animal, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY around the World speculatively and losing as much as US$108 billions at one throw of the dice, it makes sense to invest at least 30% to 50% of the available Singapore funds in Malaysia and its undertakings to bolster indefensible Singapore’s FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE, UMNO ! Singapore now loves UMNO !
It does not make sense not to safeguard one’s backside in a good defence strategy which was what the Dictator did not do but to strategise to weaken and destroy our beloved Malaysia through the poisoned chalice TPPA ! And he ran out of time ! Stupid.
4. Singapore should impress upon their KL pals that aping the Singapore GLC is no panacea for anything but bad karma.
Just look at Russia and China.
In 1982, Deng Xiao Peng who had never experienced capitalistic corruption and nepotism, went headlong to ape the Dictator’s 1 Child Family Policy and his GLCs. Now, China has to revert to a 2 Child Family Policy because of old age and drop in labour resources. China tried to reform her corrupt and nepotism in her GICs but to no avail. Sauce for the goose, does not mean sauce for the gander.
ONLY THE DICTATOR IN A SMALL PLACE CAN CONTROL THE CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM PRONED GLCs BY MICRO-MANAGEMENT PLUS A FEAR OF THE DICTATOR. In a bigger country, like Malaysia, how ? So much money. So many temptations.
For Singapore to survive through another 15 or 25 years it is as straighforward as this ! CONSIDER THE 5 OPTIONS !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE NOW LOVE OUR ICONIC UMNO ! UMNO BOLEH !
123. The partnership of national sport stadium of ministry of sport with private company in singapore has created an embarrassing issue to pap.
124. You think pap will take over and bailout this project like selling kacang putih just what bn did in the past, sir mubarak chan?
125. You think they practice what you did of who you know, not what you know?
126. Changing names of directors via public funds is easy way.
127. Just anti israel, anti british, anti american, anti indian, anti chinese so that umno members can fish for votes.
128. Mara turned into digital mall is to help bumi, or bailout your failures in the name of malay and islam votes bank?
129. Let the current ministers do their job until next ge is called.
130. If they still can win out, then we have to accept and respect the result.

I am glad to report that this was a desultory morning with a glimmer of the sun and a peek at the shy blue skies. Even the sun and the sky knew that our relevant authorities are on holiday with the good and the great of our dear World.
However, let us get down to the serious business of reviewing the facts on the record of the good and the great, the GLCs of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) and their Genesis.
There are certain parameters governing this review which I would like to state at the outset i.e.
i) I am not anti-Singapore and the Singaporeans.
ii) I am not interested in the personal life and behaviour of the Dictator whom I always said to be honest, frugal, hard-working and always travel with his wife, like our beloved Tun.
iii) As a self-proclaimed public figure, all his Public Policies are open to scrutiny of which I found 44 Failed Policies as of the last count. Vide chedet.cc//?p=464.
iv) What are GLCs and how these found their way into our Free Malaysian Style Democracy with its Capitalist Characteristics and a Malay Bias with our loyalty and devotion towards our Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the Royal Sultans, our cherished Constitution which safeguards Islam and all the other religions, because the GLCs are to be found only in 4 countries in the World, 3 authoritarian and 1 democratic which is Malaysia. eg. the authoritarian Nations of Russia, China, Singapore and democratic Malaysia.
The Genesis of the GLCs in Singapore began through an accident after Singapore left the Federation in 1965.
At the beginning, the Singaporean traders were encouraged to invest in the Dr Alfred Winsemius inspired Jurong Industrial Park in the late 1960s.
I remember Singapore sent its first Trade Delegation to Australia in 1966 to garner for business.
By 1969, factories like Fair Lady Fashion, Starlite Ceramics, Regency Wigs, Eupoc, Far East Levingston, Singapore Textiles, Diaward Industries, a biscuit factory etc. were up and running.
By the early 1970s, only a few were successful because of a lack of a brand name or forward planning by the traders who did not performed like industrialists.
The Singapore Government on the advice of Dr Alfred Winsemius, the UN economics expert, stepped in to fill the void with the formation of SIA, NOL, the creation of the Asian Dollar market, Sembawang Shipyard, National Steel, Keppel Shipyard and countless others as time marched on.
By the 1980s, with Government backing for everything, the Dictator coined the word “GLC” or government linked company.
In a small country with a small economy, this emphasis of the Government became like a Central Planning Command of the Communist World. The finishing touch to his Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats aka Inheritors, was completed in the early 1990s with the departure of all his former comrades.
The Dictator had no one to put a check on him anymore.
The original Singaporean Democratic System of 1959 became an Ultra Communist System in full collusion with the Western Powers during the Cold War (1948-1989).
Except for the Singaporeans and the Malaysians to this very day, the Dictator’s Political System was known to the whole World as the Singapore Model, authoritarian captialism, benign dictatorship (all dictatorships are cruel), and rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.
With the usual BLUFFOLOGY, the whole World applauded the Dictator’s great success from Dr Winsemius’s expert advice for the glittering buildings and onto the GLCs.
But the bugbear of these CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM inclined GLCs have not been noticed until now with the explosive 1MDB, the oligarchs in Russia and the attempts by China to reform her GLCs which are full of corruption and nepotism.
No one has ever pointed out that GLCs can only work in a small place with the Dictator micro-managing them 25 hours a day with the threat of death overhanging the underlings managing these concerns !
And the Dictator must be honest, frugal and hard-working like Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
Within 100 days of his departure, a further 2,000 pigs were permitted to be imported daily from Sarawak to Singapore.
Fortunately, in our beloved Malaysia, we have no Dictator as we put our good faith and good will in our Distinguished and Honourable Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Haji Tun Abdul Razak like what we did with all his predecessors since 1957 and our ruling Royal Sultans from centuries long long ago.
The history of the Malaysian GLCs is of recent origin which began with the collapse of the Malay owned big businesses after 1997. These were housed in Danaharta and after a Government bailed out ended up in Khazanah, a brand new empire was created for Civil Servants with no business experience, accountability and ownership.
By right in a Democracy, these bailed out entities instead of being under continued Government control, should have been returned to the Private Sector like the United States Government which returned banks, motor car industries, AIG etc as soon as it was possible or the Americans would have labelled their Government, Communist.
In a Democracy, ruling power and MONEY MONEY MONEY should never mixed as these Western democrats believed that corruption and nepotism would rear its ugly head. And so this has been proven in the aforementioned countries now with GLCs.
Another feature which Western democrats dislike is the fact that GLCs are administered outside the official Government Budget without any inkling to their loan liabilities. They also know that this sort of affairs CANNOT last or covered up for very long before the whole works will blow up in the faces of the perpetrators to cause great financial distress to all concerned – the use of Public Money or Funds without accountability.
Since our beloved Malaysia has the Free Malaysian Style Democracy for so long with its democratic checks and balances to keep the elected digits in check, the unconscious effort to introduce the GLCs into our Democratic System has played havoc and distortion in an otherwise previously placid environment. This could mean less money for the Private Sector to do business.
It is alleged no study or due consideration was ever made to bolster the usefulness of the GLCs in our Democratic System.
Willy-nilly billions and billions of ringgits are now in play to the extent which no one knows until a crisis appears.
In our beloved Malaysia, the elephants in the room are the 3 financial empires or kingdoms.
Their wealth is equal to that of a small emerging country by only one of them. But these are entities without business experience, accountabiltiy and ownership.
The financial empires of Malaysia are :-
1. The old financial empire of Bank Negara Malaysia, TNB, Telekom, PNB, TH, FELDA, Maybank, etc.
2. The Khazanah empire since 2003.
3. The 1MDB empire since 2009.
One GLC executive commented that they are not Civil Servants. But in Singapore, the GLCs executives are recognised as such and could be transferred anywhere within the Singapore Government.
Eventually, I foresee that the Malaysian GLCs would be distributed thus :
1. Sell the GLCs to new Malay owners and their non-Malay partners.
2. Sell the GLCs to the former Malay owners if they did not break the Laws.
3. Sell the GLCs to the incumbent Management and their non-Malay partners.
Then our beloved Malaysia will be on an even financial keel to emulate the great nations of Switzerland and Japan which relies entirely on their PRIVATELY OWNED WORLD’S BEST BUSINESS CORPORATIONS TO DO THE JOB where there is true business experience, accountability and ownership to garner revenue for the Government.
Why should a Government goes into business to make money for the Rakyat ? A Government’s function is to rule the citizens fairly with vision.
AND THE JURY IS STILL OUT ON SINGAPORE WITH ITS LEADERLESS POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTRAPTION CREATED BY THE DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW (1959-2015) TO MAINTAIN HIS POWER OF A LIFETIME. The weaknesses of this GLCs within the Government are now to be seen in authoritarian Russia, China and democratic Malaysia.
With Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew now singing a different tune, the WAY FOR THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE A FUTURE VISION IS TO PRIVATISE ALL THE GLCs and reform their domestic and foreign Policies which failed under the Dictator ! Acheh !
How far can the privatised GLCs run away in Singapore which is not an island ?

I told myself last night that if the morning begins with sunshine and blue skies, I would write the penultimate review on the poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia, the TPPA. As promised, I present the TPPA in its full glory as inspired, created and promoted by the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
The Genesis of the TPPA began after the end of the Cold War (1948-1989).
Uncle Sam in his full exuberance came up with his spiel in the interests of American hegemony, “Globalization. Free Trade. Human Rights.” These virtues were anathema to the commercial success of Singapore which was based on smuggling, arms trade, money laundering, breaking N. Korea and Myanmar sanctions, salvaging Vietnam War debris etc.
By 2000 and after the Dot.com Crash, Singapore suddenly found herself with a slumping GDP and unemployment.
In 2002, our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced his retirement in 2003. This piece of news sent the crafty and cunning mind of the Dictator working overtime.
By 2003, the stage was set for the poisoned chalice for Malaysia the TPPA and the 2 casino licences on offer. With his typical clinical foresight, the Dictator established the Singapore International Arbitration Centre in 2005 to catch his friends, the Malaysians, forgetting to dot the “i”s and the “t”s in the details where the Devil lurks.
By 2006, the TPPA was launched with only Brunei, Chile, and New Zealand as the members together with Singapore.
The United States was too busy before the Crash of 2008.
Thereafter, she was only too willing to grasp at any straw in the mighty ocean of financial turmoil.
It is now the red ant riding the Donkey.
With Obama’s approval in his pocket, in June 2009, the Dictator at the age of 85, traipsed into the Ulus with the open pretext of wishing a last farewell to his digits and cohorts.
What he the cunning and crafty one did was to exhort the naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians to join him in a series of ultra-secret negotiations on the poisoned chalice for Malaysia the TPPA.
At this juncture, his hidden intentions and motive in the creation of the TPPA were already clear. His speech and actions belie the real intentions of the TPPA which is a masked trade weapon to open up the tariff barriers of Malaysis with no loss to Singapore but everything to gain.
The Dictator tried DIRECT control over the Malays and Malaysia in 1963-1965. He failed because of his character and his lack of understanding of the Malays who rebuffed him.
He did not like to lose and would not take no for an answer.
From 1965 right to 2015, all his failed Policies were geared to diminish the strength and will of the Malay leadership in the Federation.
Hence, the Dictator finally came up with this TPPA from which the SOLE beneficiary is Singapore which is part of Malaysia geographically.
The other 10 countries of the TPPA are thousands of kilometres from Malaysia.
Like all bad intentions in the World, the TPPA was delayed for 9 years which the speed of implementation would have been a great success for the Dictator.
During this critical period, the weapon of the TPPA which was intended to finish off the Malays and Malaysia, also became the weapon to finish off Singapore because of the change in the Order of Battle.
The dysfunctional Singaporean elites now recognise that UMNO is the First and Last Line of Defence for indefensible Singapore due to its Achilles Heel the patchwork of a demography consisting of 3.2 millions indigenous Singaporeans, 1.2 millions FTs and 800,000 PRs millionaires and billionaires.
At the slightest sound of unrest in the Ulus, the foreigners will decamp to greener pastures leaving behind 3.2 millions very old and very rich holding the can made in Singapore and its GDP disappeared overnight !
I am not worried now about the TPPA. It has become Singapore’s problem of survival if the iconic UMNO and our beloved Malaysia go kaput ! What goes around, comes around. Never harm others, that’s Malaysia’s motto !
AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT I AM NOT AGAINST THE TPPA. BUT I AM AGAINST THE 19 VERY SECRET NEGOTIATIONS AND NOW THE UNDUE HASTE TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT WHICH WAS FOISTED UPON OUR GOVERNMENT AS EXPOSED BY THE CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS.
IT PAYS FOR MALAYSIA TO JOIN LATER EVEN AT A HIGHER COST.
The following biased articles to exhort the unknown benefits arising from the TPPA did not present one iota of fact which is REALLY good for Malaysia.
THE ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS WHY NONE OF THE WRITERS OR PRO-TPPA SUPPORTERS DID NOT MENTION WHY THE FLOOD OF TARIFF FREE RE-LABELLED SINGAPORE GOODS ARE NEVER MENTIONED ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE ?
Naturally, this omission raises deep suspicions that if the Malays sign this TPPA, they will die without a whimper like the North American Red Indians who signed without understanding what they signed and died without a whimper. All our good works, history, heritage, culture and religion will be lost forever.
HERE IS A LIST OF ARTICLES IN FAVOUR OF THE TPPA WITHOUT THE FACTS OR A MENTION OF THE FLOOD OF TARIFF-FREE RE-LABELLED SINGAPORE GOODS TO COME TO FINISH OFF THE SMIs OF MALAYSIA BY CLOSING THE FACTORIES AND CREATING UNEMPLOYMENT WHICH WILL RESULT IN CHAOS WHICH MAY BRING DOWN THE BN GOVERNMENT !
1. ‘MALAYSIA GETS ITS WAY’ Mustapa. New Straits Times. 6 October 2015. Thank you very much for your kind assurance, YB Menteri.
2. ‘PACIFIC NATIONS REACH TPP DEAL’ New Straits Times. 6 October 2015. Why Pacific Nations ?
3. ‘TPPA TONIC TO SPUR INNOVATION’ The Star. 21 October 2015. OMG ! BETTER THAN VIAGRA ! This TPPA will put all the doctors out of business !
4. ‘NO REASON FOR MALAYSIA TO WALK AWAY FROM TPPA’ The Star 27 Oct 2015. There are 1001 reasons to do so, dear Sir !
5. ‘MALAYSIA HAS MUCH TO GAIN FROM TPP’ New Straits Times 27 Oct 2015. There is no factual gain in the article. Please be professional. We are not kids. Ask Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew !
6. ‘TPP TO LIFT COMPETITIVENESS’ New Straits Times 6 November 2015. Please do not joke ! It is very serious. Our Governments tried very hard to do so since 1957 !
7. ‘TPP PROMISES ACCESSIBILITY TO WIDER AUTOMOTIVE MARTS’ New Straits Times 26 November 2015. Pie in the sky promises. Very daring ! Ask our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
8. ‘TPP HAS RAISED CAPABILITY IN NEGOTIATION FUTURE FTAs’ New Straits Times. 27 November 2015. Does the writer mean that he had no ability to negotiate the TPPA in the 19 lush and exotic secret places ? The Government sent boy scouts and girls for the slaughter ?
9. ‘PWC: MALAYSIA TO GAIN FROM TPPA’ The Star. 4 December 2015 You mean guaranteed by PWC without the fee ?
10.’PROS AND CONS OF THE TPP’ New Straits Times 5 December 2015. Fence sitting will get you nowhere !
11.’THE INEVITABILITY OF TPP’ New Straits Times 7 December 2015. A grand father story.
12.’BE WARY OF ANTI-TPP IDEOLOGIES’ 8 December 2015. What ideologies ?
13.’MCA LAWMAKERS GIVE THUMBS UP TO TPP’. New Sunday Times 13 December 2015. With the death of the SMIs, MCA will be out of politics and business. Stupid.
14.’GOOD TO HAVE TAIWAN ABOARD TPP’ New Straits Times. 21 December 2015
Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia were never on board the TPPA ! It is not a lie but only a spin.
The above-mentioned blurb written by light-weights to promote the poison chalice TPPA had nothing factual to support their cause.
HERE IS A LIST OF STUDIES AND ARTICLES WHICH CAST A NEGATIVE LIGHT ON THE TPPA.
1. TPPA: IMPLICATIONS FO MALAYSIA’S DOMESTIC VALUE ADDED TRADE. RASHMI BANGA. UNCTAD GENEVA. CENTRE FOR WTO STUDIES NEW DELHI. OCTOBER 2014.
This independent and professional Study concludes that Malaysia with the TPPA will lose US$ 5 billions a year. The Suez Canal’s revenue is US$ 5 billions.
2.TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP: NOT ABOUT FREE TRADE. PHILIPPE GASTONNE. The Daily Bell 22 April 2015. or Future Fast Forward. Honest comment.
I SAY AGAIN THAT I AM NOT AGAINST THE TPPA BUT THAT MALAYSIA SHOULD JOIN AT A LATER STAGE WHEN ITS POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMICS ARE ON FIRMER GROUND. WHAT IS THE HASTE ? IT PAYS TO BE CAUTIOUS EVEN AT A HIGHER COST LATER. We must not be trapped by snake skin oil salesmen from Arizona ! Let us eat our oyster later !
The signing of the poisoned chalice TPPA by Malaysia is now Singapore’s urgent problem ! I am not worried anymore because without our iconic UMNO, Singapore is INDEFENSIBLE due to her Achilles Heel the foreign DEMOGRAPHICS ! What goes round, comes around ! Never try to harm others !

Finally what goes around comes around in the tiny isle of Singapore concerning its false standards based on meritocracy. It is as false as the millionaires and billionaires imported to boost Singapore’s GDP every year.
As I have said for many years that this Meritocratic Policy which failed, was a device to press down the citizens :-
1. To keep the crooked and crafty conman Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) on top of the heap because he had a brilliant Law Degree from the University of Cambridge in 1947, he introduced Meritocracy based on his own Law degree.
He competed against possibly only 30 war weary veterans whilst he studied Law for three and a half years during the Japanese Occupation. Not only that, a Law class at Cambridge today, totals at least 200 of the best undergraduates in the United Kingdom.
This is the reason why his sons never studied Law at Cambridge because they would have scored bottom with their inferior command of English to their competitors. This is also why they studied subjects which 1 + 1 = 2. No fudging about with the living English language.
2. To his departure, no Singaporean has achieved the same Law result at Oxbridge or the Ivy League – 68 years. This proved that he attained his brilliance through an anomaly which was because of the World War 2 when markings were relaxed. And his 44 Failed Policies prove that he is not brilliant in public affairs even though he was a brilliant lawyer.
3. By using his unattainable academic result for all, which is just like winning the Singapore Lottery, the crooked and crafty conman, Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) based his academic result as MERITOCRACY. To this day, no one has attained this to beat him at his own game. Hence, he was always on top in his speech and behaviour and power.
The following show that failure of his own Meritocratic game for Singapore which only benefitted him for a life time.
1. In 2013, after the Crash of 2008 caused mainly by the Dictator, two Ministers announced that in future, the applicants for jobs and promotions would have not only their academic qualifications considered but also their hidden talents.
2. In the http://www.tremeritus.com today,” LKY’s SCHOLAR MODEL HAD RUINED OUR COUNTRY.” The comments are self-explanatory
Vide. http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/12/23/lkys-scholar-model-has-ruined-our-country/
I did not say it. The Singaporeans said it.
THE ABOVE MENTIONED PROVED THAT YOUR POLICY ON MERITOCRACY WAS CORRECT AND FAIR, AND THAT INSTITUTED BY THE DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW WAS SELF-SERVING.
This shows how stupid our Malaysians are to ape all things Lee Kuan Yew and to lecture at the INSEAS in which no Malaysian Chinese was ever invited.

When I went to bed last night, a thought crossed my mind whether we would get sunshine and blue skies today as told by our good and great not to worry as every day is a good day, especially when our Government is making money for us the Rakyat in doing business through the GLCs. I woke up this morning into a day full of sunshine and blue skies. This cheered me up. But it is good to notice that the outside World is a different place from us – a place where REALITY exists. Hence, we deserve to view some screaming headlines to keep us in perspective and our minds in balance.

I woke up this morning to another day of sunshine and blue skies like yesterday and tomorrow.
My mother used to tell me when I was young that if the sun sets with a golden glow in the sky, there will be sunshine and blue skies the following day. She has been proved to be correct everytime.
And today, the Financial Times of London had this screaming headline to jolt me, my senses and my thoughts into the reality of the World outside our wonderful beloved Malaysia, 21 December 2015.
” TUMBLING COMMODITIES PRICES SHAKE INDEX ”
‘ Losses across leading benchmarks at 2008 levels ‘

In the naive, friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times,
20 December 2015, there is a screaming headline ” DOOM IF RECLAMATION PROCEED.” which no reader can miss.
I have so many ideas for the improvement and enhancement of Pulau Pinang which the present Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP seemed to have missed.
There is no necessity for land reclamations or hill-side destruction to create more revenue. These could be achieved if these folks use their brains and not their hearts which belong to Daddy.
As long as the Pulau Pinang Government continues to ape the tiny Republic of Singapore, Pulau Pinang will grow no bigger than Ang Mo Kio or Hong Lim Green which is now known as Hong Lim Park ( 2 acres only ) !
To continue on and on with its present Policies, the Pulau Pinang State Government will only end up in a strait jacket and plunge deeper into the destruction of its precious and irreplaceable heritage which is its natural eco-environment.
As it is, the State is unique in the World with its outstanding eco-environment amidst enterprising communities and irreplaceable heritage buildings all in place, side by side coupled with a historical patina from centuries past.
Even the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew had to create new-old buildings after he destroyed the countless places of worship in the early 1970s.
There is no necessity to bring ruin to the fisher-folk of Pulau Pinang.

For the general interests of the Bloggers, it was mentioned in one high-powered discussion over the TV recently that in 2015, the foreign reserves of China had been reduced by USDR 500 billions from her cash pile of USDR 3 trillions between 2014 and 2015. And China now loses USDR 150 billions a month. To put these figures into perspective, the market capitalizations of Apple is USDR 700 billions, GE is USDR 400 billions and Chevron is USDR 180 billions. The foreign reserves of Bank Negara Malaysia is USDR 94 billions. The official debt of the Malayian Government is RM630 billions. The total debts of the Malaysian GLCs are unknown.

In this wonderful land of sunshine and blue skies every day, yesterday, today and all the tomorrows, we need factual news from the outside World of hard-work, frugality, etc to keep us in balance mentally. With this diagnosis, you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah would expertly prescribe to any person who are restless at night that he or she should have a hot bath and a good night’s sleep. No more. No less. Here are some screaming headlines to tintillate us mortals in a happy land of sunshine and blue skies etc.
The Financial Times London now owned by Nikkei of Japan. 19 December 2015.
1. ” FED TIPPED TO RAISE RATES AGAIN IN MARCH “. I reckon not later than April.
2. ” NO EASY WAY FOR FED TO REVERSE COURSE “. Two up-ticks are in every one’s sights for 2016. After tne US November Presidential Elections, the Devil takes the hindmost !
3. ” CHINA INDUSTRIAL PAYROLL AT 15 YEAR LOW ” There’s many a slip be’twixt the cup and the lips !
The stables doors have closed a wee bit to trap all the recalcitrants who thought the World was their Oyster between 2009 to 17 December 2015. This is as good as closing the doors completely. USDR loans will now have to be repaid at a higher interest in depreciated Malaysian ringgits in the face of a slowing World economy and shrinking markets.

http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/12/17/bilahari-kausikan-%e2%80%93-loose-and-at-large/
The article reveals the fact that there is no separation of powers between the political elite and the civil servants in Singapore as exemplified by Bilahari Kausikan.
vide. ” The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew. ” a Festschrift to the Boss by his synchophants which was published in 2014 eg the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the top Civil Servants, academicians and politicians which underlined that there is no ” Separation of the Powers, the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive in a Dictatorship.”
And that the PAP Government after the departure of the Dictator is doing catch-up with the times in our beloved Malaysia by lambasting the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP Chinese as ” delusional “. The times are the fact that Singapore is indefensible in the new Order of Battle and UMNO is the First and Last Line of Defence for Singapore.

” EX-BILLIONAIRE’S RISE AND FALL ” This article is self-explanatory.
The billionaire is the son of the buyer of Shaw Wallace India which holds the only alcohol monopoly of India and fine Assam tea estates from Sime Darby in 1980 at a bargain price of RM 110 millions through a deal in the Gulf. It was sold at the instigatin of the Sime Darby British expatriates who were on the way out by 1981. The pro-British Board of Directors out-numbered the pro-Malaysia Directors which included only Tan Sri Taib Andak and myself.
The British expatriates arranged the sale of the following choice Sime Darby assets before their final departure in 1981.
1. The sale of the Amoy Canning land, Hong Kong by auction. Only the Hong Kong Government auctions off reclaimed lands to balance their books. There was a cartel of 9 property developers in play at the material time. At the Sime Darby auction, there were no bidders. Eventually, Sime Darby had a joint venture with Hang Lung Development which was one of the cartel members. This property also became part of the MRT Terminus of Hong Kong.
2. The sale of the twin Orchard Towers in Orchard Road, Singapore, back to the contractor for S$ 23 millions. The British expatriates presented to the Board that the Towers would collapse at any moment which they supported with colour pictures of cracks in the walls. The Towers were sold to the Contractors. This was in 1978. The Towers are still standing to this day.

For us Malaysians, it is the ” Insight into the outside World ” from our land of daily sunshine and blue skies !
The important snippets were :-
1. One of the biggest mining companies in the World, Anglo-American, will retrench 85,000 workers next year – two-thirds of its workforce. The World’s smartest people are employed in the World’s iconic business corporations. To me, this is a dire warning of the state of the World’s economy with the United States, EU, India, Japan and China at its core.
2. Harris of Campbell, a US$ 5 Billion fund manager blandly stated that his Fund’s short position will stay until the next level at US$ 32 per barrel WTI is tested. Further, the reasons are that in the 1st quarter of 2016, Iran will release at least an additional 1 million barrels daily when sanctions are lifted and the general poor state of the World’s economy !

These are facts waitiing to stand corrected or rectified by his Inheritors aka Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats who were timid and tongue tied when your hero was alive ! The infamous closest aides !
I have always been against your hero, the Dictator’s failed 44 Policies which were implemented without much thought or consideration especially those against our beloved Malaysia.
I have never been against Singapore or her peoples who only became MONEY MONEY MONEY minded after your hero took power, 1959-2015.
This has brought the citizens up to a limit which they could not ascend further and had to be topped up by 2 millions FT and multi-billionaires who are not sustainable in the present World as crises became more and more volatile and surprising due to the lessening of power held by the United States in the World of the Net.

176. it is because of general election due next year in taiwan, and anti-china and anti-ang mo (means foreigners) voices are getting louder in taiwan that might cause ma to go on early retirement if opposition wins out.
177. everyone knows, china has no ge like what we have outside of china, takanlah umno tak tahu.
178. they only have central communist party elected by their party members from all over china because mao zedongc as communist president won the civil war was because kuomintang president decided not to go on with the civil war that would kill more of the people due to the different political ideology and he went to taiwan.
179. who will be the next president of roc taiwan since xi has 8 more years to serve as president of prc?

For HBT100. You attempt to be the Wikipedia of Malaysian Politics by gathering all the tiny bits of information on this subject. This shows clearly that you are not cognizant of the Power Structure in our beloved Malaysia. You will wear yourself out mentally and physically.
From time immemorial, the peoples of Tanah Melayu/Malaya/Malaysia were ruled by Sultans and different Governments in a fair and reasonable manner to this very day through a power pyramid. Goodies used to flow down its slippery sides until after 2003 with alleged rumours of money defying gravity.
On your item 154, it does not matter who leads UMNO as long as UMNO delivers the goods to its Rakyat, supporters and well-wishers like you and me. There is a saying, ” It does not matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice.”
Even our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has always said that he does not want to harm UMNO. I am sure you agree with him wholeheartedly.

For HBT000. Your expressions of our current day-to-day social intercourse with the other communities are the common expressions of all Malaysian Chinese whom I have met. There are several reasons for this.
1. The Malaysian Chinese always want other communities to be like them. This cannot be done as we are different. Once we recognise the fact that we are different, then there can be accomodation and tolerance. I have no problem in managing and turning round and made money with the biggest corporate scandal, Folex Industries Berhad, in the 1970s-1980s without a single sen from the MIDF Consortium. The factory had a complement of 1,200 wtih the Malay workers in the majority on 3 shifts, a mixture of Malay/Chinese/Indian managers etc. We spent Rm 17 per minute.
2. The MCA leadership has always been weak and not qualified for the job. We do not hear the word “SACRIFICE” with these folks. To persuade the Malaysian Chinese to understand their special position in our beloved Malaysia, it takes time and patience. But all the leaders, 17 of them became mighty rich on retirement. And the DAP ? Worst. They found it comfortable under the 19th Century cantankerous failed 44 Policies of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). Let us hope his inheritors mean what they said about the ‘delusional Chinese.’
As it is, the inheritors have now got to neutralize the poisonous effects of the Dictator inspired, created and promoted TPPA which is specially designed to kill off the Malays who are the political leaders of our beloved Malaysia as engraved in our cherished Constitution. Until then, if the inheritors have any commonsense, it is vital and logical for both countries to work together for the common good. But this did not happen with the Dictator since 1965. We lost MONEY MONEY MONEY at every turn of the dice with this fellow – 1965-2015.
3. After Merdeka in 1957, some pundits did not give our beloved Malaysia/Malaya much hope of surviving as a viable State.
And yet we did until our present self-immolation set -n by aping the MONEY MONEY MONEY FAILED POLICIES OF THE DICTATOR WITHOUT A STUDY OR CONSIDERATION.
Our folks forgot that the Dictator micromanaged ALL MONEY MONEY MONEY at all times in Singapore including the GLCs. He let it beknown that all his underlings personal lives and sexual peccadilloes were always under scrutiny. This puts the fear of the Dictator into them. And he had his Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats aka Inheritors.
The Dictator was honest, frugal, hard-working and sneaked out of the Istana at mid-night to make sure the right flowers were in the right flower posts in the right places. He gavoe up 19 holes of golf.
In the case of our beloved Malaysia, we had never behaved like a trooper like the Dictator. We are Malaysians. We are relaxed because we believed and supported our Distinguished and Honourable Prime Ministers whom we trust to be honest, frugal, hard-working and perform a normal day’s work in their Administration of our Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Capitalist Characteristics and a Malay Bias with our loyalty and devotion towards our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and our cherished Constitutiion which safeguards Islam and al the other religions.
IN OTHER WORDS, SINCE MERDEKA 1957, WE DID NOT EXPECT OUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTERS TO PLAY US OUT OR OUR SELL OUR GRANDMOTHERS DOWN RIVER FOR FREE !
Hence, I always comment that ” I STILL SAY THAT IT IS THE CLOSEST AIDES WHICH PUT THE BLAME FOR ALL THE SCANDALS ON OUR BELOVED TUN MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND OUR DISTINGUISHED AND HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER DATO SERI NAJIB BIN TUN HAJI ABDUL RAZAK !”
The sooner we return to NORMAL with the return of all the GLCs to the Private Sector the better. Only 4 countries in the World, the authoritarian States of Russia, China and Singapore and democratic Malaysia have GLCs. Only Singapore with its former Dictator controlling the GLCs personally 24 hours a day has no scandals. Yet NOL failed because managing ships is a 24 hours job. Who gives the order to buy a rope in Nigeria at mid-night ?
4. I am confident ahd optimistic that our beloved Malaysia and her political leadership will return to NORMALCY in time. Time does not wait for men or women. Inside our borders, we Malaysians experience sunshine and blue skies every day. But the international media outside our borders reported otherwise. This difference in perception will give us the right answer in time.
Fortunately, this perceiption has only to do with MONEY MONEY MONEY and not the horrific altercations between different communities like in other countries.
I applaud the authorities for doing a fine job in the money and time wasting coloured shirts street fests. Because of this, there is still hope, great hope for us to emulate Switzerland and Japan.
This is also the result of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s creation of the 3 million famillies Malay Middle Income Group without strife or fervour which uplifted the 3 million famillies non-Malay Middle Income Group through the purchase of the goods and services of the latter by the former.
5. Our Free Malaysian Style Democracy stays viable and free by means of checks and balances in a Systems managed by elected digits. Once these elected digits perform undemocratically, the whole country and Systems become awry.
6. It is very clear for us Malaysians, the Rakyat to see and understand. The present conundrum is NOT POLITICAL even though these involved POLITICIANS. OK ! IT IS A MONEY MONEY MONEY OR FINANCIAL CONUNDRUM WHICH INVOLVES POLITICIANS ABETTED BY THE CLOSEST AIDES.
If money is lost, it could be recovered or created. No problem. Time and money are the school fees we are obliged to pay in our endeavour to be a successful Nation like Switerland and Japan. Switzerland became a Confederation over 800 years ago. Japan took 100 years to modernize ending with Pearl Harbour 7 December 1941. She is an ancient civilization of 3,000 years standing.
7. Once NORMALCY returns, the goodies which make up the slippery slope of the iron pyramid will flow again and give rise to our MALAYSIAN DREAM of jobs, affordable housing and cost of living, a good education and a style of living which we are accustomed to.
8. Finally, there is only one WAY to reach the highest heights of Switzerland and Japan. The WAY is for the political leadership to build on the past successes of all the Distinguished and Honourable Prime Ministers since Merdeka 1957 IN A NORMAL MANNER.

153. No need to anti chinese or change sejarah text.
143. Sir mubarak chan, if umno wants to bring more moslem in what can mca do?
144. If umno wants to use allah word again, what can we do?
145. Even if they want to build more mosques, what can we do?
146. If they want to say najib is allah’s choice, what can we do?
147. Even if they want to revise rukun negara, what can we do?
148. It is either we dont vote, we leave the country or we vote opposition parties since we are not moslem.
138. Even african students are leaving malaysia, and their governments no longer issue visa for their people to study here, what are you talking about sir mubarak chan?
139. Splashing white paint in damai hospital is an act of terrorism, only daesh will do that.
140. Low yat 2 is against company act.

It is good to observe after so many years here in this distinguished Blog that our fellow Bloggers have the interests of our beloved country Malaysia at heart.
It is good also to observe when I commented that all the scandals were purported to be due to the closest aides of our Prime Ministers, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and our Distinguished and Honourable Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Haji Tun Abdul Razak, 100 % of the Bloggers hated me because 50% were for the former and 50% for the latter. This is what it should be based on emotions.
But if we assess this unusual anomaly and based their feelings on logic, 100% of my detractors will support me because if all things are being equal, as always and rationally recognise the Court of Laws and our cherished Constitution of which the Yang Di Pertuan Agong is our cherished Head of State, the alleged wrong-doings of our Prime Ministers are like new-born babes, completely innocent of all allegations.
However, what I said was not what I wanted to say today.
It is about money which has now blown up into a humongous balloon of MONEY MONEY MONEY.
What an enigmatic financial situation our beloved Malaysia has entangled herself into today ?
With our Bank Negara Malaysia having foreign reserves of only USD 93 Billions and the knowledge that the market capitalization of Apple alone is at USD 700 Billions and General Electric at USD 400 Billions and thousands of United States companies of the same ilk, are we aware that we have got into this at the end of the famed Kondratieff Curve and jumped straight into the longest recession ever ( if not for the USD 3 Trillion Quantitative Easing since 2009 ) without serious thought or consideration ? Jumping into something unknown literally with all our money and inheritance from previous Administrations since 2003 – a bottomless pit !
And even today, the price of iron ore is at its lowest for years, USD 46 per metric ton, West Texas at USD 38 per barrel and Brent at USD 43 per barrel with all the commodities going the same way, South despite the Fed has not even raise 25 basis points of the base interest rate yet !
The Fed program is crystal clear and follows a conventional pattern of monetary policy which accomodates the US Presidential Elections of November 2016. Pundits have foretold that will be at least 2 more rate hikes in 2016. Thereafter, all bets are off.
But our financeial leaders of which one ex-Manager bravely commented in early November 2014 in Bloomberg that a GDP of 5-6% for Malaysia in 2015 is no problem after he confidently predicted the price of a barrel of Brent at USD 105 !
And recently oil gurus have predicted that the price of West Texas may touch the high 20s or low 30s per barrel soon !
What worries me is that our manufactured products are produced by foreign manufacturers in the Free Trade Zones and if not for the 30% depreciation of the ringgit, would have also lost in value ? And the profits arising from the Free Trade Zones are all foreign owned. We see a lot of money sloshing in and a lot of money sloshing out. This are the FTZs !
With the over-capacity in the construction industry which is also at the tail end of a 10 years cycle, we have nothing from another sector to pick up the slag in terms of real investment!
The recent announcements of the FDIs will take at least 3 years to jell if these investments do materialize. But unless the real money arrives, we can only hope the foreign investors will keep their business promises.
With a beautiful hindsight, in June 2006, Alan Greenspan, the retiring head of the Federal Reserve told the United States Senate Committee that the States of California and Florida were experiencing ” froth in the real estate sectors “.
In October 2008, two famed GLCs of the Republic of Singapore with the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew at their head lost USD 108 Billions on Wall Street. He appeared in the Channelasianews in November 2008 and commented that the investments were locked in for 30 years !
In 2009 and before, the Federal Government of Malaysia became fully committed to the Policy of making money/losing money by the Government through the use of GLCs to do the job without realising that we pracise a Western Democratic System which has no room for the Government to assume a Communist Central Command to manage the economy and do business !
By 2015, Malaysia has three Government owned Empires or Kingdoms without realising it due to the tremendous brain-washing efforts of the Dictator.
1. The original Empire of Bank Negara Malaysia, EPF, Tabung Haji, PNB, TNB, Telekom, MAS, KTM, Pos Malaysia, Sime Darby ( Sime Darby became a GLC due to the gigantic bail-outs of RM 3.10 Billions by PNB within 18 years.) etc.
2. The Khazanah Empire of MRCB, etc. etc. The new Companies were bailed-out using Government’s time and money.
3. The stand-alone Empire of 1MDB which suffered the same fate as the GLCs Temasek and GIC of Singapore in October 2008. It is the closest aides, mates !
The above entities constitute a secret Government-controlled economy within a general economy.
A fact is that only 4 countries in the whole wide World have GLCs.
These are the totalitarian or authoritarian States of Russia, China and Singapore and our beloved Western Democratic Malaysia.
Corruption concerning GLCs are rife in Russia and China. But the rule by the recent departed Dictator Lee Kuan Yew over the GLCs prevented corruption and scandals during his time. He controlled all scrupulously. His inheritors are now selling the NOL and changed his 19th Century Foreign Policy towards our beloved Malaysia.
The official debt of the Federal Government is RM 623 Billions.
The off-Budget Debts of the GLCs is unknown. But Sime Darby is seeking a loan or rights issue of RM 19 Billions and MRCB RM 2 Billions loan.
My view is that until we have returned all the GLCs to where these rightfully belong which is the Private Sector, our hope of returning to NORMALCY is zero and our desire to be like Switzerland and Japan is also zero even though we are on the cusp of emulating them.
These two Nations are led by the best and finest PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE WORLD !
On Bloomberg this evening, Peter Borish said, ‘ An economist sometimes try an economic idea in practice after which this practice might be tried out as a theory !’ I guess our ex-Managers are trying to do the same at the very highest levels and at our expense.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE SAY UMNO BOLEH !

A screaming headline in a Blog today, with a quote from the venerable leader of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, ” 50 YEARS IN PURSUIT OF MALAYSIAN DREAM.”
The good leader confirmed what I have been saying all these years that the leaders of the DAP have been twiddling their thumbs and contemplated their navels since 1966 after the Party’s founding by the retreating PAP troops which were defeated by our great Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman. The DAP did nothing for our National Development Effort.
However all is not lost as 50 years of tax-free allowances from the Federal and State Governments, and salaries from the Party and legal donations from non-Arab supporters are worth the wait. Politics if it is practised like the social workers of the DAP, is good for 3 generations.
It is good for the supporters of the DAP to note that their venerable leaders are prepared to stay put for another 50 years.
Unfortunately, the firsters of the DAP’s homeland have no patience with this unusual strategic game as played by the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP leadership. They came out in force by way of a non-delusional opus written by Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew and published in the Straits Times on 5 October 2015 with the delusional title,
” Singapore is not an island.” The peers condemned these ‘delusional Chinese.’ Why ? I interpret that these folks are only keen for material gains by being social workers only.
Switzerland became what it is today after over 800 years of confederation And Japan, a highly organised society took 100 years to modernise from the mid 19th Century till Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941.
The 50 years dream of the venerable leader is well within the norm.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! THE WORLD AND SINGAPORE NOW SAYS UMNO BOLEH !
136. Tok det, has khazanah ever think of merging air asia under mas to rational petrol subsidy?
137. Running airline is so much more expensive and complicated and riskier than manufacturing cars especially on zero toleance in safety standard that require highly skilled of meritocracy professionals.
126. I understand being a mp in this country was never easy, sir mubarak chan.
127. Thats why when critics from the veteran keep pounding pm najib and his wife with horrible accusations, I feel sorry for him.
128. With less than 30 millions population, Umno veterans called mr obama as budak lembu thinking they are mightier than usa with 300 million populations.
129. Now pas peeved baby panda is better treated than malaysians, another action of meludah ke langit, jatuh ke atas muka sendiri.
130. Zunar cartonists can draw what he wants, but he wont affect us because what he draw does not represent the reality in this country.
131. All the politicians here only think about winning votes, nothing more.
132. If scare loosing votes, why join politics?
133. The ruling party is to serve the people.
134. If they think people serve them, then, be prepared to loose votes.
135. Being a minister is not a easy job, but unfortunately, the post is seen as a position to rich themselves.

For HBT000. To cut matters short, this country has always been governed on the prinicple of the iron pyramid.
If the apex does not permit the goodies eg jobs, affordable housing and transport, low cost of living, good education and a style of living, to flow down the slippery slope, we have discontent and unhappiness like now. And when the goodies seemed to defy gravity and flow to the apex, the angst is worse.
Baksheesh for the people does not make an impression.
Because of our Democratic System with its Open Economy, the Rakyat only feel the benefits when there is real growth in the economy at about 7% GDP. Singapore is struggling at 2% GDP and today, trumpeted that Singapore trumps Hong Kong in the production of millionaires. Stupid. Singapore just avoided a technical recession with her economy in reverse for two quarters.
Understand HBT000. When the goodies dried up since 2003, we can only expect problems and discontent ! All the talk, talk and talk are because of this. No MONEY MONEY MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN SINGAPORE SAYS UMNO BOLEH !
120. For political stability in this region, only china has the political power to stabilize it.
121. Signing tppa is something that umno must explore if they want to be the pm.
122. Also, the speed train will connect asean just like europe.
123. The only difference between jew-palestine conflicts with this country is they do not have king, state sultan or sultan.
124. I find it rather amusing when pakatan rakyat said signing tppa is selling off the country.
125. If they dont sign, meaning, when they become pm, they will trim down cabinet size, continue with gst, rationalize petrol subsidy, build more roads, approve more housing development, abolish ap so that cats can be cheaper and do trading only.
91. Sir mubarak chan, are you aware that in east asia, china will always opt for diplomacy ties in south CHINA sea and Indo-CHINA conflicts rather than war?
92. If they are force into war, they too have no choice but to fight in war, just like russia in west asia.
93. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2015/11/25/Redeploy-Jakim-says-Tawfik/
94. Today, almost 80 percent of palestine land is called jews state due to institionalized biased policies, and this already happening to this country.
95. Does putrajaya, bn and opposition parties want this to happen by killing more of the kinship of non muslim bumiputera just to get muslim bumiputera from west and east malaysia to win general elections, and sit in putrajaya and name themselves as islamic financial and halal hub just by putting malay in the top positions as directors?
96. Tawfik is right, for islam, it is up to the state sultan to decide.
97. If pmo jakim in the name of agong keeps expanding their expenditure to help only muslim poverty then, jakim is no difference from israel government meaning help jews first, not palestinians.
98. The balance of power is important, thats why bn call themselves as dacing.
99. The separation of power already stipulated in social contract.
100. Tdm said, as muslim, paying zakat to the government is more convenient, what does he means as government civil servants and pensioner?
101. Also, in here, when you convert into islam, you cannot revert back to your original faith, meaning one way street.
102. If you are not muslim, you will be awarded title of tun, ts, datuk, ds and many more by different states but you can be sued depending on the judges chosen by ag putrajaya?
103. Tok det, my guess is jamal yunos’s datuk title is from mod eventough he is sungai besar, selangor umno assemblyman, right?
104. Ali tinju datuk title is from pahang, right?
105. We are parliamentary democratic system, westmister.
106. The social contract, already stated clearly that state sultan are the sovereign owner of the land, and it is up to them to decide on religion matters pertaining to islam.
107. As voters are more educated and expose to world events, there is no way politicians of both coalitions can pakat behind the voters.
108. We are a small country, and if any global crisisis happen in the world, it will affect us too in east asia regardless what nationality or races we are.
109. Tok det, I do not agree with tawfik’s prejudice against mat rempit.
110. Just because they have the hobby to rempit, that does not mean they are bad people.
111. Similarly, you work for political parties, that does not mean you are a good politician.
112. The pm of malaysia has the absolute power to call the next ge in peninsula and sabah agreed by all mps in the federal parliament.
113. As for sarawak, the cm has the absolute power to call for their general election.
114. Therefore, all political parties must wait including umno.
115. For those politicians who called others as pendatang, they must mirror themselves who are they to tell the voters off?
116. If voters decide to leave their states or country, are they the one answerable to the sultan and agong?
117. The merger of pas, pkr and umno is to show voters that they have the largest members in this country, and they must take all the cake?
118. This is call bullism and greed.
119. Is this what the malay rulers and founding fathers want?

A few days ago our beloved Malaysia played host to the big and small elephants in our drawing room. We were enthralled with all the attention and good praises sung in our favour. Was it a dream or was it a practical reality in realpolitik ? Is our beloved Malaysia in the Hollywood title, ‘ Last Chance Saloon.’ 2015 ?
It was obvious to everyone that all the Nations who attended wanted our beloved Malaysia to do well and not shoot herself in the foot due to the excesses or human failings in the creation of untoward fables and foibles, common to Humankind. These Nations came to support our beloved Nation, Malaysia.
It is also in keeping with the ancient advice, ” You must have peace and harmony at home before you can fight and win in the streets.”
All Nations worthy of their salt wished us well because we have an important place in the Sun not of our own efforts but our strategic geo-political position which is chock-full of good human and natural resources right in the middle of one of the most strategic highways in the World.
But the decades long Policies of our governments also played a part in achieving friendships and goodwill around the World. So much so, our friends to not wish to see us shoot ourselves in the foot and disppear into oblivion.
And from the other Nations viewpoints, they have observed and noted all the negativity which emanated out of this faraway country known as Malaysia in recent years. To them, this observation is no good if all the negativities snowballed into one big unholy mess in an otherwise NORMAL country which was known to be boring and uninteresting in the 20th Century.
And why has our beloved Malaysia turned UPSIDE DOWN so to speak in the face of all the goodies which we have ? The answer to this is just the fact that we tried to play with MONEY MONEY MONEY instead of just MONEY since 2003 !
The corrosive and negative effects of MONEY MONEY MONEY have affected untrained minds to handle such huge dollops of MONEY MONEY MONEY which only a honest, hard-working and frugal Dictator can in a small place known as ‘Singapore is not an island.’
And with a beautiful hindsight, we now see school fees are going to be paid and wish financial nightmares never happened in this wonderful land of ours.
After all, as I always said if money is lost, it could be recovered or created in this 21st Century World. No problem.
What we must safeguard and enhance should always be our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND A MALAY BIAS WITH OUR LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TOWARDS OUR YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG, THE ROYAL SULTANS, OUR CHERISHED CONSTITUTION WHICH SAFEGUARDS ISLAM AND ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS. Anything else is foreign and dangerous !
At this juncture, we are fortunate to have countries like the United States, Russia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, Singapore and Middle Eastern countries to wish us well.
WHAT MORE DO WE WANT BUT TO PICK UP OUR SOCKS AND CONTINUE ON WITH OUR SACRIFICE FOR THE GOOD OF THE RAKYAT AND THE COUNTRY ? And return to NORMALCY WITH INCLUSIVITY which is our enduring and everlasting strength for general well-being and security as always.
President Obama was easy, approachable and reasonable in his verbal forays with the local folks. Under such circumstances, what Malaysia can request as aid is within our Sovereignty, National Interest, Self-esteem must be our top priority. In other words, even though we are not anti-America, a controversial poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia like the TPPA, maybe signed in the future at a higher cost. What is the haste when the life and death of an important Nation is in question ? Indonesia took this wise step and so did the other countries who expressed interest to join later, even China.
Russia has much to offer in the tourist industry especially during the winter months. I believe many Malaysians are already schooling there.
Then, the influential Prime Minister of India, Modi, was another major figure who is friendly to our beloved Malaysia and probably sympathises and supports our form of Free Malaysian Style Democracy. India has a wealth of educational experience since her independence in 1947 from which English was left untouched but improved upon. English is spoken from top to bottom or vice versa. And India’s educational gems are to be found in Dehra Dun and Mussoorie, and Bangalore and a few other Technical Colleges around the country. Do we know how to exact or extract what is good for ourselves as a trade-off ? Finally, India has an important place in e-commerce with a huge support cast.
China like India is part and parcel of the East. Her concern must be the peace and stability in real terms in our beloved Malaysia. I read that the purchase of the power stations by China as a support to the Malaysian Government as led by UMNO because without UMNO there could be no peaceful and stable Malaysia. Who else but UMNO which adherents were the only ones amongst Malaysian political parties who shouted the iconic word, “SACRIFICE” in the recent past ? Remember, Tun ?
Japan is an evergreen friend of Malaysia and she is willing to assist if we know how to gain from her centuries of experience in the modernisation of traditional Japan. This is the country we should emulate by adopting the best which suit us only. If the Japanese can be the 3rd biggest economy in the World without natural resources so can we Malaysians in time and with patience.
And our Gemini Twin Singapore ? We have been stuck together since 1820. Only the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) wanted us and the World and the Singaporeans to believe that Singapore is different. This was his ABNORMAL approach to governance of a country.
His pigeon has come home to roost that his inheritors like Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew finally moved away from the 19th Century cantankerous thinking of the Dictator and now seek NORMAL interactive space for Singapore to advance.
The first priority they have identified is SECURITY which strangely and ironically rest with Malaysia’s very own UMNO in Kuala Lumpur as the FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE OF INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE !
It is BK and his dysfunctional crew’s daily mental wrestling with how to prop up the GDP by the use of foreign multi-billionaires which clearly illustrates that there’s many a slip betwixt cup and lips !
I can only see our beloved Malaysia practically working closer in all fields for the common good with Singapore sans the Dictator with equal respect and trust ! No more of the Dictator’s abang-adek nonsense which was false !
And our iconic UMNO and its leadership should go from strength to strength in NORMALCY AND INCLUSIVITY in a small country which is strategically geo-politically located with valuable human and natural resources.
Go for the broadstrokes of achievements like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad during his successful 22 years of Administration !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! ALL NATIONS AND EVEN SINGAPORE SAY UMNO BOLEH !

84. Today, you give them free stuffs, they will not want it.
85. We should be happy they no longer rely on free stuffs.
86. Pm najib already done his best to please everyone.
87. It is either you are with him, or with opposition parties.
88. But, if putrajaya, is only interested to help muslim bumiputera, then, be prepared to loose more votes.
89. Also, pm najib and ts myuhiddin need to think again, they should channel the election budget to only bn, to all political parties regardless which coliation they are in, or to br1m?
90. As mature pm, the election budget should be channel to all political parties in the name of putrajaya.

Recently, a prominent member of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in an emotional outburst called Singapore ‘the prick of South East Asia’.
As I seldom heard this word ‘prick’ used amongst polite circles, I referred to the Oxford Dictionary which describes it as ‘ a vulgar slang describing a man’s unmentionable organ’ or ‘ stupid, unpleasant, contemptible.’
After this political outburst there has been an eerie silence from the Opposition who were described as ‘delusional Chinese’ by Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew in the Straits Times 5 October 2015 non-delusional article with the delusional title, ‘ Singapore is not an island.’
In fact, I interpret ‘delusional Chinese’ include not only the 95% Chinese who voted for the DAP but also the Malay members of the Opposition like PKR and PAS who had always yearned for recognition and support by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). They were just barking up the wrong tree.
He was quite adept at the use of MONEY MONEY MONEY in the interests of Singapore’s ‘Sovereignty, National Interest, Self-esteem’ even though he was like you Tun, scrupulously honest, hard-working and frugal. But he had this itchy-eyed habit of spying on the sexual peccadilloes of full-blooded Malaysians which you definitely do not have. Vide. Wikileaks. Singapore spies Malaysia.
Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew honestly expressed their observation and opinion that these Opposition folks are delusional at the hope of capturing political power at Putrajaya.
I disagree that Singapore is the prick of South East Asia because what she had achieved in terms of advantages vis-a-vis MONEY MONEY MONEY arose from the lack of professionalism, ethics, probity, standards, propriety, enforcement of the laws, rule of the laws etc as practised by Singapore’s neighbours.
What the crooked conman and Dictator did was to have a near perfect legal document prepared by Singapore on every occasion when he entered the fray or legal arena as he had a brilliant legal mind to vet it. This was his weakness as he have no vision to see beyond the piece of parchment paper. And when the neighbours were caught short, he just refused to compromise like any good lawyer ! How can we blame the Dictator for our own failings ? A couple of examples come to mind which need not be mentioned.
By having every negotiation or agreement loaded with details which entailed the dotting of the i’s and the crossing of the t’s in creating the Devil in the details, he caught the South East Asian short all the time because of their lackadaisical attitude.
The poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia TPPA with its 100 volumes of Agreement will definitely put Malaysia in a quandary soon.
The Dictator has already been waiting since 2005 with his brain child of an idea, the International Arbitration Centre which was inspired and established by him in anticipation of his vision about us Malaysians.
Again, I disagree with the outburst by the Opposition member that Singapore is a prick in South East Asia. The only observation I could make on this is that the Dictator had an ABNORMAL tendency to brag about his successes or achievements which counter-produced an abhorence to his practices and attitudes towards others. His character of being the top-dog and love of self-glorification to preserve his power and widen his influence to the very end was ABNORMAL.
If he had been NORMAL, he would have been extremely dangerous and gain for Singapore and himself much more than all the MONEY MONEY MONEY which we are suppose to assume Singapore has in hand ! Why ?
Because in the World of the very cunning and clever, no one gives us notice that we will be punched in the face. We will get stabbed in the back in the dark at night.
And why all those hero worshippers of Lee Kuan Yew, the Chinese and all so quiet when they have been called in their faces ‘DELUSIONAL’ by his inheritors. To ease their angst or ire, I always invited them to join the BN or UMNO and do not insult or abuse me, a nobody in their throes of frustration. Go and insult those who made fools of you folks. Be brave !
Tun, recent events from across the Causeway prove that it does not pay to worship strange gods as heroes just because someone said so. The lack of proper political education by some of the Bloggers on this distinguished Blog is not only remarkable but astonishing.
These folks think we practise ‘abang-adek’ politics if ever there is such politics. No wonder they have a propensity to quarrel and draw white rabbits out of the proverbial hat.
They do not know that our beloved Malaysia practises the Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Capitalist Characteristics and a Malay Bias with our loyalty and devotion towards our Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the Royal Sultans and our cherished Constitution which safeguards Islam and all the other religions.
And further, these folks are not aware the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) imposed his Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System on the unsuspecting citizens through his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats.
This System is known to the West for years except in Malaysia and Singapore. It is known as the Singapore Model, the authoritarian capitalism, benign dictatorship (all dictatorships are cruel) and rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas !
This collusion or cover-up between the Dictator and the West was confirmed by President Obama just two days ago in Kuala Lumpur. He admitted that in the political and commercial interests of the United States, his Nation does support authoritarian regimes. This explains.

Every time I read a headline of a newspaper, all I read is that MALAYSIA and SINGAPORE are even better and closer friends now. Strange.
Why re-state the obvious ? We have been stuck together since 1820 !
Our beloved Malaysia had suffered the very best of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) failed Policies from 1965 to 2015. From the free water which Malaysia now has to pay to deliver due to the ringgits depreciation through the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, the CLOB which clobbered us and now the Sword of Damocles of TPPA over-hanging us together with others which are too many to mention.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
I do not remember one single instance that Singapore benefitted us in anyway. The Malaysian Ringgit seem to be going South all the time. Between 2002 to 2009, a trillion ringgits went South.
But how is Singapore going to reverse the failed Policies created by the Dictator towards Malaysia ? The constant fear that her upmanship may be overwhelmed by Malaysia one day ?
Indeed that day has come due to the gigantic upheaval of politics, socio-economics and security in the World.
And Fortress Singapore has been discovered to be INDEFENSIBLE. Her FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE IS NOW UMNO IN KL ! OMG !
The success of the Dictator to dictate events through direct or indirect means in Malaysia which he plotted his whole lifetime has now come to roost – that is our beloved Malaysia’s politics and socio-economics have been weakened through his efforts as we are now in a conundrum !
And irony of all ironies, this is precisely what his inheritors do not want to happened now. But it has happened.
Are these inheritors with all the power and MONEY MONEY MONEY now left in their hands, going to clap their hands with glee at the success of the Dictator’s failed Policies towards Malaysia ? Only a fool will do so !
What is the use of our beloved Malaysia in the throes of political unrest and socio-economic grid-lock to Singapore ? Nothing !
The GDP of Singapore despite being packed with new mult-billionaires every year shows the huge dependency of Singapore on a vibrant and dynamic Malaysia before 2003 ! The facts and statistics speak for themselves. And with the right mix provided by both Malaysia and Singapore, their GDPs could go zinging along ! But this has not happen !
The 19th Century cantankerous thinking of the Dictator on Malaysia has only brought Singapore much harm and unhappiness by pursuing an independent Singapore’s World in his own image. This was his character and self-glorification which tolerated no dissent.
Is it too late for Singapore to save themselves because our beloved Malaysia seems to have lost her way even with all her human and natural resources and years of good governance ?
Would anyone listen to good and sound advice from Singapore ? Or was it only OK for 19 holes of golf as very close friends who are now becoming closer ? But how close can we be ?
A properly administered and led Malaysia will not only be of advantage to Singapore and the rest of the World but a role model for many nations. But this has not happened. And we waste a lot of time quarreling, squabbling and throwing verbal abuse at each other for no good reason. Instead, our thoughts and energies should be channeled to benefit not only ourselves but Humankind as well with all our human and natural resources. Nothing happened. Only sunshine and blue skies every day.
And to top off this Malaysian political and socio-economic conundrum, we are now hosts to 3 elephants in our drawing room eg. the United States, India and China. These countries have plenty to offer us. But do we know how to exact from them prudently and fruitfully for ourselves and our future generations ? Instead of being patted on our backs that we are good guys like a pussy cat ?
The unlimited educational experience which these elephants all have. for example, India’s education silicon valley massed around Dehra Dun and her proficiency in English. The United States with her super-duper college system and China’s ability to teach us Mandarin the lingua franca of the future ? Or have we lost our way twirling the Sword of Damocles, the TPPA ?
The questions which I asked would be somewhat SIMILAR to those that bugged the high IQ minds of Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew.
When is our beloved Malaysia going to return to NORMALCY of doing NORMAL WORK instead of hurling abuses at each other or playing musical chairs by RUNNING FROM ONE BLOG TO ANOTHER LIKE A BUNCH OF HEADLESS SHEEP AND GANGING UP TO BULLY INNOCENT AND APOLITICAL BYSTANDERS ! What a mess in human resources and energy !
It is because NORMALCY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF SECURITY of a family, a group or a Nation. And SECURITY IS NOW UPPERMOST IN EVERYONE’S MIND AROUND THE WORLD.
In their utmost anxiety, Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew have breached diplomatic protocol twice within one month. IF I WERE THEY I WILL WORRY MORE THAN THEM !
In the present day 21st Century, how to safeguard an INDEFENSIBLE SINGAPORE WITH ALL ITS MONEY MONEY MONEY AND A WEAKENED DEFENCE UP NORTH WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN BY THE JAPANESE IMPERIAL ARMY TO BE THE ENTRY POINT INTO SINGAPORE WITHOUT A FIGHT ?
Still it is sunshine and blue skies in our beloved Malaysia not only today but every day ! Acheh !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY UMNO BOLEH !

62. With putrajaya, non muslim will not want to be the pm.
63. Since putrajaya only interested to fight for agama islam dan bangsa melayu, why still spike on ordinary citizens who are not bumiputra?
64. Tok det, the in law of our pm is a malaysian, or she is still holding her citizenship of her country whereby their citizens have no voting rights?
65. Does she know malaysia is a parlimentary democratic country whereby each of us must cast votes in every 5 years?
66. Pmo works for bumiputra, or malaysians?
67. If pmo works for bumiputra, not malaysians, why should non bumiputra vote bn?

For HBT000. I am forced to take back the digit from you for your outburst in defending the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). As the Yellow Bersihs have found out that the United States do back Dictators and their authoritarian governments in her own interests, political and economic.
How can our beloved Malaysia pretend that the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) was a stand-alone Dictator ?
Who founded the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in 1966 ?
Why Wikileaks said Singapore spied on Malaysians ?
Why the crooked conman and Dictator traipsed into the Ulus of Malaysia at the age of 85 in June 2009 with President Obama’s TPPA approval in his pocket ?
Why you do not have a look-see at https://thechedet.com//?p=464 for your hero’s 44 failed Policies in which he caused the deaths and injuries of thousands of innocent people both in Singapore and abroad ?
Why you lose your temper when you lose a point ? You are just wasting your time when history will be the arbiter of this Dictator.
MALAYSIA BOEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY UMNO BOLEH !
51. If singaporeans are not okay with the government, they will voice out in ge.
52. If we are not okay with the government, we too can cast votes in next ge.
53. What so great about being malaysians?
54. We can cast votes for state and federal level, free education from std 1 to form 6, and free healthcares in government hospitals.
55. No doubt, signing tppa will cost the price of medicines go up due to devaluation of myr.
56. If moh increase the price of healthcare myr 1 according to usd, the price is myr 5 for normal gp, and pakar to myr 20, no one will complain.
57. Sadly, until now, politicians still argue something that is beyond their control.
58. Look east policy is already showing result, bn should be happy, right?
59. We now have sabahan umno holding info and housing ministry,
60. Perkasa said chinese and indians must accept the fact that we are pendatang.
61. So, why are the muslim here not happy?
51. Lky is lim keng yik, get this fact right, sir mubarak chan.
52. Dont point at singapore which has nothing to do with other states in malaysia.

For HBT001. I am not interested in little things which seem to bog everyone’s mind on this distinguished Blog except our beloved Tun. Like him, we want everyone to be rich and in order to do this, we must have Democracy to distribute the wealth fairly and evenly.
There have been many examples in this World in the past like Marcos or President Bongo Bong of the Congo who owned all the diamonds in the Congo and every one else is dirt poor.
Democracy creates an even playing field for everyone to achieve success according to his or her ability.
But we have our Malaysian Style Democracy which is FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALIST CHARACTERISTICS AND A MALAY BIAS WITH OUR LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TOWARDS OUR YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG, THE ROYAL SULTANS AND OUR CHERISHED CONSTITUTION WHICH SAFEGUARDS ISLAM AND ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS.
You ask Tun or Tun Dr Hasmah what they thought about in the 1st year of the Second MBBS. Medical students began to think deep and hard what life is all about. Those who could not complete this year become dentists. For doctors, their lives begin here and then without a pause or a beginning. But an ending is for sure.
When we saw that the honest, frugal, hard-working Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) striving at every turn to be on top of our beloved Malaysia, we also saw the eventual unhappy ending of a personality who tried not to think of tomorrow. Life goes on.
Some of us in Malaysia are now engaged in what I consider as petty quarrels which become ugly and unbecoming when unmentionable words are used beyong the pale.
Our Tun was subjected to this treatment for years which was concocted by the very same people who salaam him now on this Blog. As a World’s Statesman, he stood steadfast, silent and ignored these lesser folks who now ‘adore’ him and wish him the ‘best of health’ and ‘a long long life’. These are what the Americans call ‘Johnny-Come-Lately’ !
As I have said many times before, as soon as everything returns to NORMALCY, our Malaysia will shoot to the Moon and the Stars to reach up to the towering heights of Japan and Switzerland. If these wonderful countries could do it, so can Malaysia ? We do not need any assistance from the rocket scientist from Singapore.
The answer to reach greater heights is so straightforward and simple that it is unbelievable. Have we got the discipline to be NORMAL given the power and the MONEY MONEY MONEY ?
Our beloved Tun did have the requisite discipline not only for 22 years of his Administration but throughout his life as well !
And he created the 3 millions Malay Middle Income famillies which up-lifted the 3 millions non-Malay Middle Income famillies without strife or rancour through the purchases of the latter’s goods and services by the former. This inter-dependency is the nub of our economy today !
Everyone was happy. The Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the Royal Sultans, the Rakyat, and the Government were happy as Punch.
HBT001, you will ask what is the difference between the MONEY then and the MONEY MONEY MONEY now. You see HBT001. THE MONEY THEN IS NOW THREE TIMES BIGGER ie. MONEY MONEY MONEY. With so much MONEY MONEY MONEY around, we will be buried under it one day like in Singapore. The economists will say I am wrong because our MONEY MONEY MONEY now is actually 3 times smaller than the MONEY in Tun’s time. Got It HBT001 ? I am just a magician like the one who pulled out white rabbits out of the proverbial hat when cornered. How to make a Big thing into a Small thing in the eyes of all ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY ONLY UMNO CAN BOLEH !
HBT001, when I produced this spiel many years ago, some sniggered or say I carried legs or polish apples or bum-sucking. The truth of this is now confirmed by no less than the redoubtable inheritors of the honest, frugal and hard-working Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) themselves ie. Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew ! They over-reached themselves and called the Leader of UMNO, Mr Najib ! Tun as you said, ‘ A week is a longtime in politics !’ It is a funny World !
44. If umno baru is afraid of loosing votes, the next pm must merge umno, pkr, pan and pas to make it a single entity before the next general election is called
39. Sir mubarak chan, I am wondering what is your thought when tdm said making money is alright, stealing money is not right?
40. What about rampas hak asasi pengganut bukan agama islam, umno baru and bn are okay with it?
41. I support tawfik, the son of ttdi in abolishing jakim.
42. Jakim is used as a political tool to build more mosques, not businesses that earn tax revenue for the federal government.
43. Sir mubarak chan,since pmo wan junaidah already made a statement to send baby panda back to china in 2 years time, why should mca support umno baru?
44. If umno baru is afraid of loosing votes, the next pm must merge umno, pkr, pan and pkr to make it a single entity before the next general election is called.
45. They can build more mosques if putrajaya wants it.
46. It will be better off to split myr into halal and non halal section.
47. If politicians can be bribed behind the voters, then, be prepared for weak federal government.
48. Jika bagi saya pilih,as voter, i rather support tppa then political parties that only interested to jaga their members first to sustain our economy that is shared by malaysians and foreigners regardless of faiths.
49. With tppa, there is no way to cheat, to steal or rob behind closed doors sesuka hati.
50. Malaysians boleh, but bn and opposition parties boleh or not?
Tun
I think you will agree with me that these are interesting times for those who have a life-long interest in public affairs or those prominent stalwarts of our society who practised it.
I remember the visit of President Lyndon Johnson long long ago in the 1960s and now our beloved Malaysia which was boring and uninteresting not too long ago, is graced by the visit of President Obama, not once but twice. Or did the President try to make up for the rude behaviour of the Vice-President Gore of the United States not long ago.
In these days of multi-lateral conflicts, even the late Oracle of Singapore would find it hard to express the many going-ons in the firmament, the globe. What a huge difference in terms of the multiple contacts at the personal level by these people at the very top !
With so much face to face discussions between Presidents and Prime Ministers who hold the executive powers in every country and they are the best of each country in terms of intellect and experience, this game of chess playing is extremely dangerous to the neophyte from emerging countries. If the cap fits, wear it !
Even at my level, a good friend once warned me that if a big banker took me to the top of the Mandarin Hotel Singapore, and said I could get any financial support I desired, my friend warned that it is very likely he was holding a big knife behind his back. And so it is, the World of the laws of the jungle. The bloodied streets of Paris fully confirmed what an astute Singaporean entrepreneur observed without an Oxbridge or Ivy League education.
I have noticed also there seems to be an indecent haste of bamboozling the signing of the TPPA by Malaysia like a reluctant bride without having met the bridegroom. There are so many great unknowns which if a person is aware of what Sovereignty, National Interest, Self-esteem mean will surely hesitate or ponder to pry into the core of this multi-skinned onion of a TPPA. What sort of animal the TPPA really is ?
All parties conveniently ignored the significance of the flow of tariff-free goods from our immediate neighbour, Singapore. And there seemed to be a dire lack of interest as to the origins of this TPPA which was a creation of the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew in 2002 to save Singapore post-Cold War.
Our beloved Malaysia is tempted by hopes of achieving the highest trade kudos with the wide opened markets of North America. But the World today is the 21st Century not the late 20th Century, which success is based on education and knowledge in utilising the latest information for immediate success through intellect. This space which was once only dominated by the United States, is now having at least two other elephants in the room eg. India and China.
For a very small country like Malaysia to generallise in its ways of doing things, unlike Japan and Switzerland which specialize in their own fields of endeavour, first through their education systems and then, through their magnificent PRIVATELY OWNED business corporations to lead them into the topmost ranks of the World, we will go nowhere. (More and more countries will rush pass us in the years to come). Their Governments take a back-seat and let human endevour flourished. This is A proper understanding of Democracy and what it means for you and me, Tun. A democratic World in which GLCs are just figment of imagination of erstwhile Dictators of Communist dictatorships.
And where did we lost our focus on the well-being of the Nation.
It was the adoption of the lethal but easy to understand weapon called MONEY MONEY MONEY which was used artfully and craftily by the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). A weapon made in Singapore. He was never corrupted by MONEY MONEY MONEY but his skilful use of this weapon on the mass of greedy public figures, tycoons or what have you, put him vis-a-vis Singapore at a great advantage in keeping with the delusional title, “Singapore is not an island” ! It is the art of bribing with MONEY MONEY MONEY which takes the cake for the Dictator. With his passing and his honesty, who else can take up the cudgels for Singapore and her future ? Or dare to use this made in Singapore lethal weapon ?Interesting.
Hence, we are not only bewildered and surprised with expressions of the pent-up emotional observations by Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew. They could only advice but could not execute with MONEY MONEY MONEY. They have no locus standi because there is no longer a honest Dictator around. This could be rather frustrating when one’s good intentions and sound advice are ignored by lesser folks.
Tun, these are all white rabbits thrown up into the air for thought for those non-dimwitted folks by recent events which have significantly engulfed our beloved Malaysia since 2003.
And we must always remember what diplomats say about others :-
“The Americans are easy to forget. The British try not to forget. The French never forget”. A visit to any of their capital cities confirms.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY UMNO BOLEH !

For HBT001. Yes! I remember giving you back one digit for saying the right thing.
To save time and cracking your skull, please read the lips of Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional Meritocrats aka Apparatchiks. Vide. Straits Times Singapore 5 October 2015. Bilahari Kausikan non-delusional article with the delusional title, “Singapore is not an island” and his speech at ” Lee Kuan Yew’s Legacy ” 31 October 2015 Cambridge with just one ominous sentence for Malaysians to digest.
With the rising intensity of terrorism around the World, it is as clear as daylight that it is on the frail shoulders of UMNO which rests the FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND THE DEFENCE OF INDEFENSIBLE OF SINGAPORE RIGHT HERE IN KUALA LUMPUR ! This is where the national inerests of the two countries converge.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN SINGAPORE NOW SAYS ONLY UMNO CAN BOLEH ! Tun as you rightly said ‘ A week is a long time in politics.’

As the much touted TPPA, a poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia, becomes a reality day by day, apart from Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew, how are the erstwhile and gung-ho admirers and fellow travellers of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew going to react ?
As to be expected, the Oppositionists are stunned to the core that after a life-time of just worshipping this earthly and worldly God, they have found that in the 21st Century the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) World lauded thinking turned out to be just out of date 19th Century stuff.
The anxiety and desperation as expressed by Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew after dispensing with the usual apologia in a final memorial at Cambridge revealed the fact that matters which Singapore needed to sort out with UMNO maybe somewhat late. But then, it is better late than never.
For example, how Singapore is going to convince the 95% Chinese who voted for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which the present incumbent rulers of Singapore now want to make it disappear. Bring in David Coppefield ?
To convince this lot of 95% Chinese that it is good, very good to vote all out for UMNO and BN to enhance and strengthen it in the interests of Singapore because their god LKY is not longer available ?
We have a huge mass of frustrated and disgruntled types of Oppositionists who are now stunned and have not come to realise that they have been let down by the 19th Century thinking of the great Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). So much so, at the slightest sign of being threaten these dim-witted Oppositionists will lash out at any innocent person who had no intention of harming anyone least of all the Oppositionists.
It is their angst in the midst of their confused ire that they have now found no credible leader to lead them out of the mess of mis-understanding or mis-reading the true character of the great Dictator who was only interested in his own power and self-glorification by using these unfortunate Opposition types as stepping-stones to greater heights to be an oracle of his own imagination.
Overnight, the dysfunctional elites of Singapore who were timid in front of the Boss but now cannot hold back what their IQ or intellectual quoitient told them how to act which was to dump the whole lot of the Opposition, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, the PKR and the PAS as irrelevant and delusional. They said it, not me. And embrace UMNO which is now perceived to be Singapore’s First and Last Line of Defence.
This is logical. This is sane. But to the great distress of the fervent worshippers of the god and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew who would use the most vulgar language and the most personal of attacks to derail a believer of the truth who presents facts such as these. Stupid.
However at the end of the day when the Oppositionists recover from their stunned mental senses, they will certainly agree with me that Lee Kuan Yew was a crooked conman and Dictator to boot. As for now, keep clear.
As our beloved Tun always said, ‘a week is a longtime in politics’. The nuclear reaction of Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew came as soon as possible after the departure of their Boss, less than 6 months after all the due preliminaries for him were completed and done with as reported about the forum ‘Lee Kuan Yew’s Legacy’ on 31 October 2015.. He certainly left his inheritors a legacy to mop things up in this World of the Net.
Do we expect the 95% Chinese to vote for the BN and UMNO at the next 14th General Elections because the inheritors of their hero Lee Kuan Yew told them they are delusional ?
Apart from this shocker of realpolitik from Singapore, the jury is out because of the many variables now in play in Malaysia of which the main component is the health of the general economy. I will leave this to the experts to sort this out since they think every day is sunshine blue sky without a cloud on the horizon.
All these reminded me of once upon a time when our beloved Malaysia was known to be boring and lack excitement. But now we are the centre of the World in South East Asia not only because of our geo-political position but because our human resources turned out to be not only interesting, exciting but innovative as well.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY ONLY UMNO CAN BOLEH !
Tun
We Malaysians are at the cross-roads.
The cross-road leading to failure due to human fables and foibles or great success which reaches out to the highest heights of endeavour like Japan and Switzerland. These two remarkable countries have no natural resources but only their peoples who through trials and tribulations have become role models for the World.
The Dictator of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) tried to emulate Japan and Switzerland. He could not because of his character which did not permit him to share his power and self-glorification.
The failure puts Singapore into a quandary now with their hiatus in the demographics which was the result of a one-man rule with no dissension permitted. Only after his departure, his inheritors like Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew stuck their necks out and publicly reversed the 19th century confrontational politics with Malaysia of their late Boss which were backed by fire-power.
The most significant reversal is the dismantling of the Boss’s Maginot or Siegfried Line or the Batu Pahat-Muar-Muar River Strategy which dates back to the 19th Century thought. This naturally followed by up-dated thinking that the new Singapore Defence Line must be the First and Last Line of Defence, UMNO in KL Malaysia. Acheh !
But the creation and promotion of the Lee Kuan Yew TPPA has put a cat amongst the pigeons of BK and his dysfunctional crew. Interesting.
How is Singapore going to prop up UMNO and Malaysia when the TPPA itself is a creation to kill off or weaken our beloved Malaysia ? How ?
Singaporean spies and collaborators were crawling all over us in their eagerness to please their dictatorial Boss. Vide. The UMNO owned New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014. Singaporean spies galore. They wanted success. And now the Singaporeans with their spies and camp-followers are on the cusp of getting what their Boss wanted. They did their level best to massage the nubile Malaysian minds.
But is the TPPA going to be Singapore’s Pyrrhic Victory leading to the fall of Singapore 21st Century ?
As I see it that Singapore is now forced to move so close to Malaysia vis-a-vis UMNO that the latter might suffocate from the embrace due to the anxieties of the fast-thinking Singaporeans who now know for sure that their tiny island is INDEFENSIBLE not because of the venerable Johor Straits but the iconic UMNO packed full of political acolytes with indifferent motives with Singapore’s interests furthest from their minds.
It is the battle for Malaysia which the Singaporean inheritors of the late Dictator is worried about. And they are about 13 years late due to the time and space occupied by their Boss. They were timid.
What is the use of having a glittering cosmopolitan World class city if it is INDEFENSIBLE ?
At the slightest sound of rustling sabres, the 1.2 millions FTs and the 800,000 PRs and the billionaires will decamp for greener pastures, leaving behind 350,000 aged and 350,000 young children and 2.5 millions adult indigenous Singaporeans. No problem. The Singapore Government might as well close shop and go for the 5 OPTIONS.
In fact the dire straits of Singapore’s DEFENCE OF THE INDEFENSIBLE lies in two significant documents which exposed the FRAILTY OF MALAYSIA COUPLED WITH THE BIG BOYS VIA THE TPPA AND A VIEW OF THINGS TO COME FOR SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA eg.
1. RASHMI BANGA. ” TPPA IMPLICATIONS FOR MALAYSIA’S DOMESTIC VALUE-ADDED TRADE ” October 2014. Working Paper WTO Studies. Unit of Economic Cooperation and Integration among Developing Countries. UNCTAD. Geneva.
Rashmi Banga stated, ” Malaysia’s balance of trade will worsen by around USD 1.5 billion per annum with imports (from Singapore) rising by around USD 3 billion and exports by around USD 1.5 billion. Malaysian industries which will face a rise of imports above USD 100 million per annum are vehicles, iron and steel sector, mineral fuels, plastics articles, boilers, rubber products, aluminium products, and tobacco. Most of the increase in imports comes from USA and Japan via Singapore.”
If this independent study is not AUTHORITATIVE, I do not know what is. IT CLEARLY AND ACADEMICALLY SHOWS HOW MALAYSIA IS TO BE HOLLOWED OUT BY THE TPPA !
2. The thought provoking but bragging headline from the Singapore Business Times of 17 November 2015 confirms our beloved Malaysia’s gigantic loss by just signing on the dotted line of the TPPA.
” TPPA COULD MEAN S$ 1 BILLION IN TARIFF SAVINGS FOR SINGAPORE. ” The Singaporeans are so cocksure of taking our beloved Malaysia to the cleaners as always that they tried to be modest. What a joke !
But there hangs the tale of the indefensible Singapore of 2015.
The TPPA of 2002 LKY origin which was specially created to finish off Malaysia and save Singapore has turned out to be the very vital instrument which will NOT ONLY FINISH OFF MALAYSIA BUT SINGAPORE ALSO. Vide. Bilahari Kausikan’s non-delusional essay with the delusional title, ‘ Singapore is not an island.’ Straits Times 5 October 2015. Bilahari Kausikan’s ‘ Legacy of Lee Kuan Yew.’ Cambridge. 31 October 2015 with just one ominous sentence and 4 pages of apologia for being timid while the Dictator was alive.
There you are Tun. As I always said that some Chinamen are so very clever as to be stupid. Lee Kuan Yew takes the pole position as proven by his 44 Failed Policies and his creation, the TPPA which if not carefully handled by our beloved Malaysia will also finish off Singapore without a doubt due to their Achilles heel – the demographics.
MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! EVEN THE SINGAPOREANS NOW SAY ONLY UMNO CAN BOLEH ! Right BK ?
Tun
Since the ultra-secret 19 TPPA negotiaitons were exposed in 2013, no one has raised the question of the immediate benefit to Singapore of the flood of Singaporean tariff-free goods which will flow into Malaysia’s wide opened doors overnight after the signing of the TPPA. Those responsible never raise this ONE AND ONLY BENEFIT TO SINGAPORE.
Vide. The UMNO owned New Straits Times. Streets Central Page 8. March 8 2014. Interested Singaporean parties in colour.
We have been told all sorts of irrelevant and minor stories of the pie- in- the sky type to this day which will only benefit us after working very hard for it with a lot of luck i.e. SMEs become successful in North America. I have never heard of one except for the glove manufacturers who produce an essential need for a vital industry.
” TPP COULD MEAN S$1 Billion IN TARIFF SAVINGS FOR SINGAPORE.” – Singapore Business Times on 17 November 2015 confidently trumpeted.
The bragging headline in the Singapore Business Times confidently worked out the sums to show us naive, gullible, hospitable and friendly Malaysians how stupid we are to give away S$ 1.0 Billion or RM 3.10 Billions annually for free by just signing on the dotted line of the TPPA in exchange for promises of the most absurd kind in the future.
Promises which we will never be able to fulfil in view of the dire straits of our politics and socio-economics because since 2003, Malaysia did nothing to up-grade or enhance ourselves to get out of the middle income trap especially as regards education and everything else. Nothing was done for 13 years – we just lived on the fat of the land.
On the one hand, it is obvious that with RM 3.10 Billions less in the Government coffers, the relevant authorities hands are tied and no help will be forthcoming to the SMEs. On the other, the flood of cheap goods from Singapore will swamp our existing SMEs and forced them to close shop and retrench the workers. The SBT already said so.
I do not know whether I should laugh or cry !
The only saving grace is that Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional crew will have to pull the white rabbit out of the proverbial hat to save UMNO which is SINGAPORE’S FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE BECAUSE SINGAPORE IS NOW INDEFENSIBLE IN VIEW OF THEIR DEMOGRAPHY. Strange, these Singaporeans care for us non-fast thinking Malaysians these days.
AND ALSO LEND BACK THE S$ 1 BILLION OR RM 3.10 BILLIONS WHICH SINGAPORE CREAMS OFF ANNUALLY BY FLOODING MALAYSIA WITH RE-LABELLED SINGAPOREAN TARIFF-FREE GOODS, AT LOW INTEREST RATE. Acheh ! Money laundering at its very best !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! ONLY UMNO CAN BOLEH !
Tun
Before the poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia is signed, here is a bragging headline from the Singapore Business Times 17 November 2015 which is self-explanatory and will cost Malaysia RM 3.10 Billions annually.
” TPP COULD MEAN S$ 1 BILLION IN TARIFF SAVINGS FOR SINGAPORE.” Malaysia’s gift to Singapore as always.

As an apolitical bystander who has observed Malaysian-Singaporean politics since 1954, I now wonder if our well-paid elected representatives are aware the twin dangers of a sharp down-turn in the World’s economy and an up-turn of terrorism which are threatening to overwhelm us.
What I see is the daily petty quarrels on subjects which have been with us from centuries ago. But I do not seem to detect an alertness through forward planning on how to deal with these twin dangers of global significance which for the very first time we have no experience.
The World has been in recession since October 2008. It was the Quantitative Easing Policy of the Federal Reserve which bailed out the World and its recalcitrant banks and financial institutions. The High Street economy of the United States is still lagging behind the gnomes of Wall Street so to speak.
The economists of the World are so uncertain of the economic mess which they have created that a hike of 25 basis points took them more than 9 months to postulate. Some want a hike in the rate soon. Others with a more sanguine view cautions the risk of an early rise. And it is all about a minute 25 basis points hike.
This clearly shows no one knows what the real answer is in this World of the Net, MBAs or what-have-you.
To add to the uncertainty, we have 3 separate important areas of socio-economic activities eg. the United States, the EU and China. All these three drivers of World economy are in real trouble after years of irrational exuberance and over-capacity. In the case of the EU, the lush promises of a social paradise after the Second World War still linger as if there is no tomorrow. Greece and similar small States have their problems papered over for a short term. But for the longer term, there is no answer. And the economy of China is still heading South.
With the 3 Quantitative Easing amounting to nearly US$ 3 Trillions just enough to get the World to stumble along but the capital and commodities markets bloomed and boomed like nobody’s business. This led to a dangerous sense of self-complacency amongst those who should know better. That the World is now enveloped in a huge bubble created by MONEY MONEY MONEY artificially and deliberately injected into the World’s financial system. This had already gone on for 7 years, probably the longest recession in the World’s history.
So where does the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) fit into the World’s order of events.
It is his 19th Century thinking as regards politics, socio-economics and defence to boot compounded by his lust for power and self-glorification of a life-time.
The GLCs which he had created, brought problems to China and Russia. In the former, the extent of corruption affecting its SOEs has turned political so much so a proper reform could not be undertaken. And Russia’s GLCs a’la the oligarchs have found it difficult to cash in on their winnings.
And the Malaysian GLCs which make up 3 financial empires will disappear in time at great cost to Malaysia because these are into bricks and mortars and commodities and not in the business of making things. And these GLCs are all outside of proper Budgetary control creating an hidden economy within a lopsided general economy.
And again the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) blew his trumpet on his GLCs before the full cycle of his creations were known to be successful. One swallow does not make an Indian summer. And it does not pay to be a copy-cat. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
The great unknown is still to come as the World has never seen anything like this – a World held up by a banknote of paper with no value but
” In God we trust “. Up to 1971, the greenback was backed by gold but thereafter President Nixon assured the World that the US Dollar would have the same value as though backed by gold. Brainwashing at its very best.
With Malaysia’s GLCs incurring a debt of many billions of ringgits which can only be discovered when the time for reckoning comes. But in the meantime, this humongous debt of billions of ringgits incurred by these GLCs can only grow bigger and bigger.
It is strange to note the rating agencies are brought in to laud the state of Malaysia’s economy. It was alleged after the October 2008 Crash on Wall Street that some of them feathered their own nests.
The World is now inside a gigantic bubble which the Fed wants to deflate but uncertain as to the timing and the extent. Any mistake will bring disaster to the World. Who can be complacent and not to worry since October 2008 ?

The TPPA is the irony of all ironies as a 19th Century colonial instrument inspired, created and promoted by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) after the desperate years of Singapore’s trials and tribulations in the 1990s subsequent to the end of the Cold War (1948-1989) which featured Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ All three topics are anathema to the traditional conventions of Singapore’s trade eg. smuggling, money laundering, breaking the sanctions on Myanmar and North Korea, arms trade etc.
The long period to achieve the original aims of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) through the poisoned chalice for Malaysia the TPPA meant its ultimate application and use on Malaysia in 2015 is now out-dated. He even established an International Arbitration Centre as far back as 2005 ! Why ?
In 2002, there were no Islamic State and the Americans did not discover who they were fighting against until 2006 when they found that every leader they eliminated, was replaced by another.
However, on 5th October 2015, Bilahari Kausikan and his dysfunctional meritocrats published a non-delusional article in the Straits Times with the delusional title, ‘ Singapore is not an island.’ which indirectly changed the confrontational nature of the Foreign Policy of Singapore towards Malaysia since 1965 !
BK and his dysfunctional crew have now discovered that Malaysia’s UMNO is the FIRST AND LAST LINE OF DEFENCE and not the 19th century thinking of their late Boss who emphasised the Batu Pahat-Muar-Muar River as Singapore’s line of defence like the Maginot or Siegfried line. It took the departure of the Dictator to charge these timid folks to say something. And they said a lot between the line. Vide. The latest Paris massacre of over 120 people.
Now, let us consider the real facts concerning the Major Export/Import Markets of Malaysia from The Edge Malaysia of 16 November 2015.
Product Current Import Duty pre-TP Value
Electrical products 3-15% US$ 11,138.0 (millions)
Rubber Products 2-15% 1,238.2
Palm Oil only to
Canada & Mexico 4-11% 30.1
Transport equipment
The US & Mexico only 5-15% 313.4
Woodproducts
To Japan only. 6-10% 1,103.
This list which is to be assumed to be comprehensive, displays the following :-
1. The exporters of electronic goods and equipment are entirely foreign. We observe a huge sum of money coming in and a similar amount going out annually. The FTZs fitted in with the Government Policies of the 1980s and the 1990s. The Sector does not play an important part in the TPPA except for the work-force which has to be employed.
2. The products of a few rubber products manufacturers are essentially required by the consuming countries. What is there to protect but their profits in a very small segment of the Malaysian economy.
3. It is a surprise that Canada and Mexico use palm oil with their abundant natural oils.
4. The export of wood products to Japan is another surprise after decades of denuding the forests and in the face of cimate change. This should be a non-starter for the TPPA.
ALL IN ALL, AS I HAVE ALWAYS SAID WHERE IS THE BENEFIT FOR MALAYSIA ?
The key question of the tariff-free imports in value from Singapore annually has never been revealed in any of the pro-TPPA arguments. This is the nub. This is the rub. This wil wipe out our SMEs and cause havoc.
HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OF THE TPPA IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA NOW RESTS WITH BILAHARI KAUSIKAN AND HIS DYSFUNCTIONAL CREW ON HOW TO PROP UP UMNO IF THE TPPA REALLY DOES NOT DELIVER BUT TO BRING PROBLEMS TO JEOPARDISE THE DEFENCE OF SINGAPORE.
This TPPA problem was inspired, created and promoted by the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) himself when he made that trip to the Ulus with Obama’s blessing for the TPPA in his pocket in June 2009 at the age of 85 ! And after that, the long march of the TPPA for Malaysians began. Vide. The New Straits Times Street Central Supplement Page 8. March 8. 2014. Singaporeans interested in the TPPA in colour.
IRONY OF ALL IRONIES THE POISONED CHALICE FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO ENSLAVE US HAS NOW COME ROUND FULL CIRCLE AND HAS BECOME THE ACHILLES HEEL IN SINGAPORE’S DEFENCE WHICH HAS BECOME INDFENSIBLE.

Because of the huge inflow of Bloggers into your distinguished Blog, it is good for them to be aware of the true facts which are undistorted by the thugs of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). Here is the latest :-

With all due respect, I have discovered two new additions to the list of 42 Policy failures of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) eg.
43. The purchase of university academics by the National University of Singapore and the Nanyang Technological University to boost their World Rankings coupled by the unusual rankings of 12 and 13 by the former and the latter which beat Yale, Cornell, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, University of California at Berkely, Columbia, University of Edinburgh, King’s College London, EPFL Lausanne, ENS Paris as appeared in http://www.TopUniversities.com.rankings/2015. But these two universities are ranked 24 and 90-100 in the respected FT rankings of 2015.
44. The Policy to suppress internationally the good works of Malaysian Prime Ministers especially during the successful 22 year Administration of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad so that the Dictator looked good in the eyes of the World. Vide. TJS George Blogspot June 2010
Furthermore, it is very clear from the above record of 43 failed Policies of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) that he would resort to achieve any Policy to glorify himself in the name of Singapore and sustain his power. Like any other Dictator, he had no remorse over the deaths he caused in his purchase of Thaksin Shinawatra’s business and his ill-thought out 2 Child Family Policy which is now also brought disaster to China’s One Child Family Policy.
How this Dictator got away with his misdeeds for so long is a mystery to be unravelled in time ?
As always, the Political System he created eg the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens without their knowledge by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats will undoubtedly fail after his departure. Those Systems set-up by Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito, Castro etc have failed after the departure of the Dictator.
The truth will prevail and will be told all over the World about the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
The foul-mouthed cybertroops of Lee Kuan Yew are now operating vehemently against me and my facts in this Blog because they realise that your distinguished Blog has become WORLD CLASS with visitors from all over the World.
And the unexpurgated truth about their Dictator would be discovered which was successfully suppressed previously till my appearance here in this Blog. From 1965 – 2015, the Dictator used the tightly controlled international media to do down the Prime Ministers of Malaysia and the Malays so that he was the knight in shining armour in the South East Asia jungles.
As a result of his over-zealousness in promoting himself using and island and its inhabitants, he is now caught up in the spider web of history in which at the end of the day, Tun, YOU TURN OUT TO BE THE HERO STANDING PROUD AND TALL SMELLING OF ROSES AND LEE KUAN YEW (1959 – 2015) IS PORTRAYED AS THE VILLAIN OF THE PIECE.
Thanks to the list of 44 failed Policies of Lee Kuan Yew. Recently, even his inheritors were obliged to turn around his failed Policies which confirmed his Dictatorship during his lifetime.

It is good, very good that your distinguished Blog gives us time and space to air our views against Dictators who want to crush us like the Singaporean cybertrooper “The” whose moniker is just like Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck – a nothiing. However, as there are so many new Bloggers who visit here that it is time the 42 Failed Policies of the failed Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) be aired again for the knowledge of all. At the special request of Singaporean ” The ” :-
1. Money was used to buy-out Thaksin which resulted in the inadvertent deaths and injuries to thousands of Thai men, women and children. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy in the 1970s and the 1980s caused thousands of sterilizations, abortions, suicides, mental illness, emigration etc which gave rise to the Achilles heel of Singapore today -its demographics.
3. The loss of US$108 Billions (RM420 Billions) by the dysfunctional meritocrats with the smartest fellow on top in October 2008 on Wall Street.
4. Humanity and Multi-culturalism not practised. Vide. The Curry Smell Tribunal. the 188 bus drivers strike. The toilet fights etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over. Vide. Chee. Tan Koon Suan. Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw – if the Police stopped at one, he would not be in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl ! Aussie, Malaysian, German drug mules. The ex-Chief Justice appears in a Festschrift to his Boss, ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew ‘. This confirms that there is no separation of Executive, Legislative, Judiciary powers in Singapore.
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. At least 2,000 by his sibling. The flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank.
7. A World class transportation system not established. Vide. Manubani
8. The failure to manage foreign workers. Vide Little India riots. The Rex cinema sit-in.
9. Spy networks established in friendly countries. Vide Wikileaks
10 An apparent full fledged foreign military of 300,000 reservists, aging Gurkha guards, F-35s, Apaches, Hercules, AWACS, drones, humongous balloons, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, long range artillery, secret caverns, strategic S$ 2 Billion water reserve, bombed proofed buildings, spies complete with swallows, ducks, journalists, tycoons, academics etc in friendly counries.
11. The failure of the DAP as founded by the retreating PAP in 1966 after their ignonimous defeat by our great Tunku.
12. The Policy to dominate Malaysia by the use of proxies. Now his inheritors are beginning to review these failed Policies.
13. The Policy to use the Lee Kuan Yew inspired, created and promoted TPPA to break-down the tariff barriers of Malaysia by using the United States as the battering ram so that singapore goods will flood the Malaysian market.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Hong Kong has 99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 million FTs and 800,000 Permanent Residents with the billionaires to boost the GDP. This foreigners have become the Achilles heel of Singapore defence which is indefensible.
16. The Meritocratic or Apparachik System was used to enslave the 99.99% of the population. In 2013, 2 Ministers announced that academic qualifications alone are not sufficient for jobs or promotions. But a person’s other qualities are required as well.
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World. Vide. Warren Buffet.
18. The emigration of the 300,000 middle class supporters of LKY. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.
19. The System to collect information on everyone since 1972.
20. The legal use of the CPF funds without due consideration to the contributors rights and aspirations.
21. The Policy to invest CPF trust money in risky investments which resulted in unnecessary losses.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals.
23. The Dictator had been in power from 1959 – 2015.
24. The failure of the policies of the Singapore Government since 1959.
25. On the one hand, the Dutch UN economics expert Dr Alfred Winsemius could produce a successful plan for the infra-structural development of Singapore. On the other, the development of human resources were left to the Dictator who screwed down the indigenous population from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010 leaving a huge demographic void. Vide. Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.
26. The Money Grab Policy was rejected by its citizens. In 1982, the Singapore Business Times reported that a young tycoon was sent round the schools to lecture to the school children that it is good to be greedy.
27. The Profiteering Policy which involves the Temasek Holdings, the GIC, the CPF, the HDB, and all Public Utilities and agencies which handle money.Vide Ngiam Tong Dow. Singapore Medical Journal Sept.2013.
28. The failure of CLOB on the KLSE/SGX to avoid being cast out of the Malaysian financial system in 2000.
29. Nantah and the Vernacular Chinese School System were wiped out by 1972.
30. The Dictator created the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by the Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats.
31. The Policy to use INSEAS to brainwash young and up-coming UMNO aspirants. A glowing report would appear in the Straits Times on the morning after their lectures in INSEAS.
32. The Policy to disregard the sovereignty of Singapore and to invest in common equities with the rest of the hoi-polloi.
33. The Policy to produce a confetti of published works praising the Boss. The most embarassing work was “Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew” in which the ex-President, ex-Chief Justice, the top Civil Servants, politicians and academics lined up and kow-tow to the Boss showing that there is no separation of powers in Singapore.
34. The Policy to introduce 2 casinos ended in failure.
35. The failure to care for its own citizens led to the importation of FTs to boost the GDP.
36. The Policy to pay tycoons for their assistance in whatever field.
37. The failure of being part of Malaysia in 1963-1965.
38. Equality was never practised as all policies were based on 70% of the population.
39. The Policy to practise nepotism. Vide. jesscscott.blogspot
40. The Policy of the Dictator to go against the virtues of his Alma Mater, Cambridge University by discard all its venerable virtues like the freedom of speech, thought and action.
41. The Policy to collude with the Western Powers by the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System.
42. The Dictator’s family is the only Singaporean family to be billionaires from zero to hero, legally.

I furnish the latest facts on how the Singapore Government in its dire need for cash crafted a legal Scheme which siphoned the CPF money into the Government which commingled it with other funds. The long and short of this CPF Scheme is that it is linked with the ever more expensive HDB flats.

The important screaming headline today 2 October 2015 in a Blog.
” DON’T LET TPP JEOPARDISE MALAYSIA’S FUTURE. ” by Nobel Prize Winner Joseph Stiglitz and Adam Hersh.
The World experts of international trade economics, Stiglitz and Hersh wrote in this authoritative article that what Malaysia has established in terms of its economic development all these years will be destroyed by the TPP.
This article confirms what I have been saying that our factories and their owners will go bankrupt. Workers will be retrenched. All will blame the BN which will lose the next General Elections. Chaos reign.
The Malays will die without a whimper like the Red Indians of North America who signed and died without a whimper. The non-Malays will suffer a fate worse than death because they have no power to sign their own death warrant.
Our beloved Malaysia as we know it will be no more.
We become an enslaved colony of imperialist Singapore. This fulfilled the wishes of the cunning and crafy Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) to capture our beloved Malaysia as a LEIBENSRAUM and his legacy through his creation, TPP. A disguise to transform the existing Political System of our beloved Malaysia.

Arising from all the political and socio-economic conundrums which have bugged us since 2003 and my study since September 2011, into the facts of what bewitched us, I have come to the conclusion that our Political System the FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALIST CHARACTERISTICS AND A MALAY BIAS IS THE BEST FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.
The importance is in our loyalty and devotion towards our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and our cherished Constitution which safeguards Islam and all the other religions.
There is nothing absolutely wrong with our tested and reliable Political System which is on par with that of the great democratic country of Mother India and the rest of the Western World.
But our Political System has been subjected to two forms of harassment or disturbance which by all accounts should not have happened :-
1. THE CONSTANT INTERFERENCE BY AN ABNORMAL DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW (1959-2015) – the creator of his copy-cat Political System – THE GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED BY HIS APPARATCHIKS aka MERITOCRATS. At first, I thought his creation was an original due to his brainwashing, But eventually, I discovered that he copied from the East and the West even his GLCs. AND HE CALLED THEM ALL HIS OWN !
2. THE INABILITY OF THE ELECTED DIGITS TO ADMINISTER A HOLISTIC DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SYSTEM WITH ITS CHECKS AND BALANCES. This only happened after 2003. When the elected digits become recalcitrant and go awry, it takes a long while to clean out the mess which is connected with money.
MALAYSIA WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY FORTUNATE COUNTRY IF WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY UNHAPPINESS WITH THE ELECTED DIGITS MANNING OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM FROM 1957 TO 2015. In order to forestall any untowards behaviour by the elected digits, now I understand why all elected parliamentarians have the title ‘ HONOURABLE ‘ attached to the name of an honourable elect.
When Tun Tan Siew Sin wanted me to take an active part in politics, he told me that the reason why he invited me was that a PERSON WHO HOLDS POLITICAL POWER SHOULD PREFERABLY BE AN HONOURABLE AND RESPONSIBLE PERSON WITH A PROPER BACKGROUND. To his disappointment I declined as I could not go against the advice of my advisors, the most senior Chinese Advisor on Counter-insurgency to the Federal Government, Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too and my friends in the UMNO Youth.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! We must never change our Political System, the Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalist Characteristics and a Malay Bias ! Elected digits come and go ! Money we can always recover or create again !

Sorry ! I left out the eponymous CLOB which was an ideal money sucking machine for Singapore from 1965 to 2000 in the list of goodies for Singapore. We were clobbered when it was in operation as a disparate group of Malaysian investors against an unofficially organised force. My elder brother with no tertiary education could beat me every time with his predictions. I began to wonder why this was so ? I went looking for the tea leaves in my tea-cup ! When the CLOB was finally dismantled in 2000, there were weeks and weeks of abuse and insults at the Malaysian leadership which appeared in the Straits Times. These were the ordinary folk.

There is a screaming headline in the Nikkei Asian Review this morning October 1, 2015.
” Kuala Lumpur faces new hurdles to TPP consensus. ”
And in this report, it was mentioned Malaysia only gains for a glove manufacturer and the sale of palm oil to Canada and Mexico, if any. This is what Malaysia will benefit now from her wholly owned exports because the FTZ manufactured goods are owned by foreign owners.
For the edification of the new Bloggers who have appeared here recently, I would like to reiterate what this Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement is all about.
First, it is no partnership at all but a cunning device thought up by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) when Singapore was hit by the end of the lush profits arising from the Cold War – to bash down the tariff barriers of Malaysia hiding behind a battering ram, the United States of America. The immediate sole beneficiary is Singapore.
Second, Malaysia now being caught in its political and socio-economic doldrums since 2003 will be the only hapless partner of this caucus of 12. She made no notable socio-economic progress since 2003, if not retrogressive in a patchy manner.
Third, by signing the TPPA, a community will be the middle man again and financed by Singapore like in the old colonial days. Other communities will be disadvantaged. Not only that, all Malaysian owned factories and their owners will go bankrupt. Workers will be sacked. The BN Government will take the blame and lose the next General Elections.
Fourth, the Malays who were the envy of Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore and the World up to 2003 will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. For the non-Malays, a fate worse than death because they had no power to sign their own death warrant.
Fifth, if Malaysia signs, Singapore lives as the coloniser of Malaysia. She sustaiins the Dictator’s legacy of a sustainable Singapore provided the Kra Canal is not built in the near future. Singapore now has a LIEBENSRAUM of her own which is the enslaved Malaysia LOCKED IN via the TPPA.
Sixth, if Malaysia does not sign, within less than 25 years, Singapore has to consider the following 5 Options :-
i. To merge with the United States as the 53rd State of the Union. The venerable Johor Straits will become a monsoon drain with a chain linked fence. We may say ‘ Selamat Pagi Amerika.’ every morning to the Americans across the fence !
ii. To become a British Colony again. Even the Scots want out.
iii. To confederate with Scotland to form a super-duper kiasu union of Scotsmen and Chinamen with a Jewish President.
iv. To re-merge with Malaysia. But the ancients forbid because a good horse does not return to old pastures.
v. To maintain status quo with an Indian Prime Minister, the highest cost of living in the World and a humongous foreign manned military against naive, gullible, hospitable and friendly neighbours who will not fight one inch to defend their own land unlike Japan, China and Korea but love to play 19 holes of golf daily and give away ex gratis ocean blocks, rocky isles, 1 million barrels of sanctioned oil, steel rails, MSA software, water, gems from Khazanah, lush Sime Darby contracts, sand, our grandmothers etc. etc.
Here is how the real story of the poisoned chalice for Malaysia TPPA began.
The Cold War ended with a whimper in 1989. The crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) was caught short because Uncle Sam came up with the hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade and Human Rights ‘. From a bi-polar World, the World became multi-polar. Singapore was by-passed. This was anathema to Singapore’s traditional commercial activities eg money laundering, arms trading, smuggling, breaking sanctions on Myanmar and North Korea etc.which brought lush and easy profits.
From 1990 to 2001, the Dictator and his dysfunctional apparatchiks aka meritocrats basked in their own narcissistic limelight and did nothing to transform the economy of Singapore which had already been damaged by the foolhardy 2 child family policy of the Dictator. They were caught short. This led to the mass importation of Indians and FTs to boost the GDP by the turn of the 21st Century.
From 2001 onwards, the GDP from the dizzy heights of 7% per annum felled below 5% with rising unemployment of the citizens.
The dysfunctional apparatchiks aka meritocrats proposed 2 casino licences for the short term and the TPPA for the longer term.
The 2 casinos which were set-up in 2006 have since failed.
The TPPA was launched in 2006 with only Brunei, New Zealand and Chile as members. The United States was not interested due to her booming economy. However, an International Arbitration Tribunal was set up in Singapore in 2005 due to the foresight of the Dictator to catch the friendly Malaysians in their belief that others will dot the i’s and cross the t’s for them and the Devil will not be in the fine print.
After the Crash of October 2008, Uncle Sam was willing to grasp at any straw in the tumultous financial ocean.
By June 2009, the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) at the age of 85 toured the Ulus to exhort his digits, cohorts and spies. Then, I wondered why ? Now I know. The crafty and cunning Dictator had Uncle Sam approved TPPA in his pocket ! So meticulous was he that he had English tea served in fine English bone porcelain in a well-known KL salon. No one can beat him for his attention to fine details. Remember, he always said that the Devil is in the fine print !
Thereafter June 2009, the Malaysian Government went into 19 rounds of very secret negotiations with the Government of Singapore in close attention.
By 2013, the poisoned chalice TPPA was leaked out to the Rakyat even though it is politically unacceptable to the Rakyat and socio-economically worse than death because the poisoned chalice is a crafty and cunning TRANSFORMER OF THE EXISTING POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE FEDERATION OF MALAYSIA IN DISGUISE AS A TRADE PACT !
Again the Malaysian Chinese are forced to be colonial middle men financed by imperialist Singapore after all the hard work which was done via the NEP since 1970 to create a level playing field for all –
especially the momentous creation of the 3 million famillies Malay Middle Income Group which up-lifted the non-Malay Middle Income Group without strife and fervour by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, SINGLE-HANDEDLY !
AND THE MALAYS AND THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE AND INDIANS AND ALL DID NOT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE OF TAKING A BITE OF THE CHERRY WHICH IS SIME DARBY WHICH WANDERED AWAY IN FOREIGN LANDS FOR 39 YEARS FROM 1976 TO 2015 ! And are we forced to say bye bye to all our life’s undertakings achieved under the NEP ? The Malays, the Malaysian Chinese and Indians and all ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! No TPPA for us Malaysians !

A singular screaming headline in the all-knowing Singapore Business Times today, 30 September 2015.
” SINGAPORE POPULATION GROWTH AT SLOWEST IN OVER A DECADE. ”
Singapore the home of MONEY MONEY MONEY is finding its indigenous and imported population’s sex lives stressed. After the debacle of forbidding human re-production and to create a new human paradise of super-duper Singaporeans, nothing happened despite of all the monetary inducements offered by the Dictator to his sterilised victims to re-produced.
He read Law up at Cambridge and went to the lowest rank non-collegiate outfit which taught him no biology of the human body at all. Darwin’s college was the best. The Dictator missed the right boat for being NOT QUALIFIED TO ENTER A PROPER CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE ! He returned home to screw down his own people because he was good at dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s and spent time looking for the Devil in the fine print including his toilet paper !
Singapore will shrivel into nothing without reproduction. Foreign imports will not create loyalty nor to fight to death for an inch of territory like China, Japan and Korea but not Malaysia ! Quo Vadis Singapura ?
OK. Come over to good old Malaya, ye sexually stressed Singaporeans and we teach you how with no guarantee of success because we are Malaysians. Do not spend time spying at us via Wikileaks and get sore-eye balls in the process. it is not worth it by spending money on non-reproductive activities. You ask Charles Darwin of Christ’s College, Cambridge. Darwin spent time spying on wild animals. The Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) Fitzwilliam House spent time spying on the sexual peccadilloes of full blooded Malaysians. This book will be a hot seller only in Malaysia without the colour pictures !

As I have said before that the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) left no stone unturned during his rule as regards all aspects of administrating his tightly controlled Government and the tiny isle, Singapore.
A good example was how he made use of his swallows, ducks, journalists, academics, Malaysian civil servants, tycoons, spies,etc to promote his greatness and achievements. Vide Wikileaks
Without the social media as provided by the Net today, it would have been an impossible task to pin-point his duplicity. Here is a good example 15 September 2015 in the pro-PAP MCA owned The Star newspaper which has a joint venture with the PAP controlled media in Singapore according to its Annual Reports :-
Today’s screaming headlines in the pro-PAP MCA owned The Star –
” S’pore varsities in top 15 of world rankings.” –
The National University of Singapore is confirmed as the leading Asian institution at 12th while the Nanyang Technological University is in 13th place as reported by a brand new foreign person Karen Chapman [email protected] who quoted from a brand new survey unit,

Both the Singapore Universities beat Yale, Stanford, University of California at Berkeley, Johns Hopkins Baltimore, Cornell New York, Tokyo University, Beijing University, King’s College London, LSE etc.
What a bare face lie to be published in the Star to diddle Malaysians by one of its own National newspapers ! It is crazy !
If a person is a novice in this game of brainwashing by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015), this mis-information produced by a foreign syncophant would have been taken as the truth.
BUT THE TRUTH IS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS ANNUALLY (ABOUT 5-6 PUBLISHED BY DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT SURVEY UNITS) FOR THE GUIDANCE OF THOSE IN THE EDUCATION PROFESSION. I have been following these university rankings for decades. This is the first time the Star picked on the BEST SURVEY FOR SINGAPORE AND COMPARED WITH MALAYSIA. Why the Star wants to do down our Malaysian Universities is very clear for all to see ? The Star wants to please its foreigners at our expense. This is not a joke !
THE BEST WORLD UNIVERSITY RANKINGS IS BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES LONDON. Here is the truthful rankings as published annually to the World and not some amateurish and suspect rankings in which a 3rd rate university ranked above Yale, Stanford, University of California, Beijing University, Tokyo University, Lse, King’s College London etc.
http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2015/reputation/
THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE IS RANKED 24 by the Financial Times
and THE NANYANG TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY IS RANKED 91-100
IT IS A SHAME THAT A NATIONAL NEWSPAPER THE PRO-PAP MCA OWNED THE STAR RESORTED TO THIS SORT OF MIS-INFORMATION IN FOREIGN INTERESTS. It is a form of sabotage to the National Development Effort.
WE SHOULD NEVER COMPARE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ANYTHING TO DO WITH SINGAPORE! IT IS NOT SMALL MINDED. IT IS LIKE COMPARING CHALK (Singapore) WITH CHEESE (Malaysia). Commonsense dictates how can a Nation of 30 millions lose out to a tiny population of 3.2 millions indigenous Singapores.
I CAN NAME A WHOLE LIST OF MALAYSIANS AT THE TOP IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON ETC. These brilliant academics are really World class and contribute to the academic standings of their respective Universities – NO FAKING BY FOREIGN IMPORTS LIKE IN SPORTS IN SINGAPORE !

It is within the parameters of the 3 Government financial empires of our beloved Malaysia that events which affect GLCs or SOEs bring news of interest.
We may recall that until some astute civil servants thought they could make money better than the private sector that our beloved Malaysia went all the way to create more and more GLCs since 2003. The debts created by these Government owned GLCs are unknown. But we do know that officially the Government has debts of RM590 Billions as per the Budget which are not the GLCs debts.
We may recall that these GLCs came into Malaysia via aping the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s (1959-2015) Singapore in which he pinched the idea from the Communist States of Russia and China, and called them his own creation by giving a new label GLCs.
We Malaysians eg the Government which practices 100% capitalism took this idea of the GLCs over and now we have more and more GLCs without any study and due consideration that we will soon be Communist.
All the above-mentioned facts make interesting observation and reading.
China had a huge collapse of its share-markets within the last 3 months.
This weekend, 13th Septetmber 2015, the Xinhua newsagency announced that the SOEs or State-Owned Enterprises or GLCs (the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s version) would be reformed forthwith as decided by the People’s Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
The intention is to deepen the SOEs or GLCs reforms by way of the approved guidelines. Indirectly, this shows that all is not well with the SOE’s or the GLCs of China which are probably beset with mis-management, corruption and embezzlement on a HUGE SCALE.
The Guidelines are as follows :-
1. To improve efficiency, profit estimates and public welfare.
2. To tightly supervise the Managing Directors/Managers.
3. To enforce accountability.
4. To improve the supervision over state-owned assets and to ensure security of these assets with increased capital returns.
5. SUPERVISION WILL BE INTENSIFIED BOTH FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE TO PREVENT ABUSE OF POWER AND THE EROSION OF STATE ASSETS AND A MECHANISM FOR ACCOUNTABILITY TO TRACK VIOLATIONS, INCLUDING CORRUPTION AND EMBEZZLEMENT.
Tun, the above-mentioned guidelines to administer and manage the SOEs or GLCs (the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s version) of the People’s Republic of China with a population of 1.3 Billions came out fresh from the press today ! Sound familiar is’nt ? As we are a democratic country, we have no Dictator or Dictators.
For the ignorant, please note that the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) did all the above-mentioned guidelines himself because he did not trust any underling to handle money. He was honest, hard-working, frugal ( His only luxury was the Government’s Jaguar and was a late riser ). He gave up golf and seldom travel. But when he travelled, he travelled with his wife on SIA ! He had a penchant for the information on the sexual lives of his underlings and the sexual peccadilloes of full-blooded Malaysians since 1972. Vide Wikileaks.

A few days ago, the Minister of Labour, Singapore, Lim Swee Say said that he is fortunate not to be a Malaysian or a Chinese in China. This person does not see beyond his nose. Here are the demographics of Malaysia and Singapore.
Malaysia – 95% indigenous Malaysians in a population of 30 millions.
Singapore – 3.2 millions indigenous Singaporeans- 4,000 migrate annually
1.2 millions Foreign Talents.
0.8 million permanent residents who paid a minimum of S$1.3M
Without the FTs to boost the GDP, Singapore has to close shop. The socio-economic situation in Singapore is so bad that even with the 1.2 million FTs, the GDP never breached 5% since 2000 !
Within 25 years, Singapore has to consider 5 Options :
1. Merge with the United States as the 53rd State of the Union.
2. Become a British Colony again
3. Confederate with Scotland to form a super kiasu union of Scotsmen and Chinamen.
4. Re-merge with Malaysia.
5. Maintain status quo with the highest cost of living in the World and a humongous lend-lease Military manned by foreign mercenaries against neighbours who love to play 19 holes of golf every day and will not fight for their own ‘Sovereignty, National Interest and Self-esteem.’

It was reported in the social media that a Senior Minister of the Singapore PAP Government said he is fortunate not to be a Malaysian. And the Financial Times London added that ‘Malaysia can learn from Singapore.’
Both of these comments are false. We should only emulate solid examples of success like 825 year old Switzerland and 3,000 year old Japan and not a failed State conjured by a rogue Cantabrigian for his own self-glorification. He has since departed and left the citizens holding the can !
Singapore hit the doldrums as far back as the end of the Cold War (1948-1989) when Uncle Sam launched his hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ which are anathema to Singapore’s traditional commercial activities eg. smuggling, money laundering, arms trade, breaking sanctions (Myanmar), salvaging Vietnam War debris etc.
The 1% elite, the Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats were caught napping right through the 1990s until they were hit by a recession after the Dot.com boom. Singapore’s GDP was never more than 5% again. In their desperation, they proposed two casinos which have since failed and the poisoned chalice for Malaysia, the Singapore inspired and promoted TPPA to gain LIEBENSRAUM after failing from the use of proxies to advance Singapore’s and the Dictator’s (1959-2015) interests in Malaysia. Because without capturing Malaysia, Singapore is impossible to survive and keep the Dictator’s legacy alive and well.
Man proposes. God disposes !
The juicy bites at the cherry during the Cold War have been over for Singapore since the end of the Cold War in which it was a bi-polar World of Communism and Captialism. Under Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel of the post-Cold War, ‘Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’, the World has become multi-polar which has lessened the importance of Singapore and the bluffogy manufactured by the Cambridge Universtiy alumnus rogue, the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) which culminated in a Grand Collusion between the Dictator and the West. With his departure and the fast moving World of the 21st Century, this link has been broken for good !
Hence, Singapore has only 5 Options to consider within 25 years or less.
1. To merge with the United States as the 53rd State of the Union. Our venerable Johor Straits will become just a monsoon drain with a chain-link fence. We may say ‘Selamat pagi, Amerika.’ to our neighbours across the drain. All the goodies made in Singapore will be re-labelled made in the USA !
2. To be a British Colony again. Even the Scots want out.
3. To confederate with Scotland, to form a super-kiasu union between the Scotsmen and the Chinamen.
4. To re-merge with Malaysia. The ancients forbid because a good horse does not return to old pastures.
5. To maintain status quo without the TPPA but with the highest cost of living in the World and a humongous lend-lease military manned by foreign mercenaries against neighbours who love to play 19 holes of golf everyday.
The future for Singapore with a demography of 3.2 Million indigenous citizens, 1.2 Millon Foreign Talents and 800,000 Permanent Residents is bleak, very bleak in a multi-polar World in which many countries big and small have aped the same commercial activities as Singapore.

The Financial Times of London was surprisingly ignorant about the current state of affairs in Singapore today 4 September 2015 when it stated in its FT View that ” Malaysia can learn from Singapore.”
We took a hard knock on our heads when our Government aped the Dictator created GLCs of Singapore.
And if the informative Financial Times is not aware, let me enlighten the Editorial that the crooked conman and Dictator created the Godless Ultra Communist Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats.
The Dictator turned rogue after capturing the Government in 1959 by the Western democratic process. And by the time of his departure in 2015, he had perfected the Political System which is known outside of Singapore and Malaysia as the Singapore Model or authoritarian capitalism or benign dictatorship (all dictatorships are cruel) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.
He actively colluded with the Western Powers for his survival and self-glorification.
And as an alumnus of the University of Cambridge, he turned rogue like the British traitors, Blunt, Burgess and Maclean – the Cold War spies for Russia.
The Political System of Singapore has already gone toxic with 50% of the citizens demanding their CPF contributions to be returned.
Malaysia practises the Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalist Characteristics and a Malay bias with our devotion and loyalty towards our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and our cherished Constitution which safeguards Islam and all the other religions. The System is manned by democratically elected digits which could become recalcitrant by fudging our iconic institutions for checks and balances. If this happens, it takes a long time to clean up the mess.
Singapore is governed by siblings, relatives and friends which are employed at strategic places in the public and the private sectors. Its present population is 3.2 Millions indigenous, 1.2 foreign talents and 800,000 permanent residents. GDP is boosted by the import of foreign workers.
As at the date of the Dictator’s departure, he had 41 failed Policies due to the lack of checks and balances. The worst was the 2 Child Family Policy of 1970 and 1980s.
The Money Money Money Policy succeeded up to the end of the Cold War (1948-1989). But thereafter, Uncle Sam came up with the hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights ‘ which were anathema to the traditional trading activities of Singapore eg. smuggling, money laundering, arms trade, sanctions breaking, salvage Vietnam War debris etc.
Within 100 days of the departure of the Dictator, 2,000 pigs were permitted to be imported daily from Sarawak in addition to the 5,000 pigs imported daily since 1997. This is not corruption but the rule of the Laws.
Malaysia does not need to ape Singapore in any activity as it is inferior in all respects to us. We should emulate solid examples of success like 825 year old Switzerland and 3,000 year old Japan.
The moment we return to NORMALCY we will shoot up to the Moon and the Stars. No problem.

Right up to the present moment, no Malaysian bothered to find out how the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) ruled the tiny isle of Singapore. Through cursory researches into his modus operandi, I discovered that like in Russia, we have the oligarchs, and China the princelings, and in Singspore, the siblings. The important public and private sectors key positions are held by the Dictator’s siblings and relatives. Nepotism is very much alive in Singapore.

On the 58th Anniversary of our Merdeka, the only headlines I see in the media are those concerning, ‘Unity, Unity. Unity !’ This is a sad reflection of the current state of poliitical affairs in our beloved Malaysia. How did this come about ?
The main and only perpetrator of this political nonsense was the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) whose obsession to control and dominate Malaysia knew no bounds ever since the early days of his PAP politics in Singapore. His mischievous slogan, ‘Malaysia for Malaysians.’ Now in the flood of FTs into Singapore, the Singaporeans now cry, ‘ Singapore for Singaporeans.’
His use of his brilliant Starred Double First Law degree from the venerable University of Cambridge knew no ends. In this respect, he an alumnus of a University which cherished the freedom of thought, of expression and of action, turned rogue like Blunt, Burgess and Maclean – the treasonous trio who worked for Russia through the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War (1948-1989). He turned rogue by setting up the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats without informing them. And he colluded with the West to gain their support to sustain his hold on power and self-glorification. He adopted the simple Communist formula of sucking out all the citizens money legally through official agencies like the CPF, HDB, Income Tax etc. And enslaved the 99% of the citizenry by falsely imposing a policy of meritocracy which only recognised State scholars who attended Oxbridge and the Ivy League. The end result was the incubation of an elitist brood of brainwashed leaders controlled by the Dictator.
To augment the financial wherewithal of the tiny isle of Singapore, the Dictator took a leaf out of the Communists book and established state-owned GLCs which were all under his microscopic control including the personal lives of his underlings. These GLCs can only work under the severest surveillance by the Dictator who overseered the humongous pile of money so created by his Political System. But he has now departed without leaving an answer to the present GDP plight of Singapore. His poisoned chalice for Malaysia, the Singapore inspired, designed and promoted TPPA, seems to be forever floundering. Man proposes ! God disposes !
The 41 Policies which failed during his Dictatorship only add to the present political and social conundrum of this tiny isle. The majority of the citizens do not understand why Singapore has the highest standard of living in the World and yet 99% of them live in poverty in their old age ! The total sum of the Dictator’s mistakes must surely be larger than the whole ! It is interesting to note how the Singapore leadership is going deal with the forthcoming tussle for power in the Pacific between America and China.
Without proper supervision by a Dictator, all the State owned GLCs of Singapore will soon be affected by corruption. Within 100 days of the Dictator’s departure, 2,000 additional pigs are permitted to be imported from Sarawak daily. This is not corruption. It is the rule of the Laws.
It is interesting to note that our beloved Malaysia has now adopted the GLCs Policy of the failed Republic of Singapore, hook, line and sinker. No where else in the World a democratic Government enters into business to make money for the citizens. Russia and China adopted this half-way house of totalitarianism ie. A totalitarian State coupled with State owned GLCs. The jury is still out on this hybrid political philosophy. It had failed in Singapore. We will soon observe the effects of such a System in the much larger sphere of China which is beginning to show signs of cracking up due to corruption and the abuse of power by warlords. In Singapore, there was only one warlord, the Dictator.
This GLCs System has also failed in our beloved Malaysia as recent events have shown. It is weakness of the flesh that brings disaster.
If Malaysia has adopted the GLCs of Singapore hook, line and sinker, have we changed our political System of FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALIST CHARACTERIESTICS AND A MALAY BIAS WITH OUR LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TOWARDS OUR YANG DI-PERTUAN AGONG AND THE ROYAL SULTANS AND OUR CHERISHED CONSTITUTION WHICH SAFEGUARDS ISLAM AND ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS ?
I am of the opinion that our present Political System with the GLCs is somewhat like that of Singapore’s. To confirm this, the checks and balances which were built into our original Political System have been nullified in the face of political and socio-economic adversities.
The end result in the adoption of the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System of Singapore by Malaysia has already resulted in inefficiencies and opaqueness which gave rise to the present political hiatus or conundrum.
We must also remember that the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) dispensed with the closest aides. He did everything himself through the use of butlers. He was honest, frugal, hard-working and seldom travel. When he did, his wife always accompanied him by flying SIA. The only luxury he permitted, was the Jaguar saloon car which he loved. And now that he has gone, who can maintain the discipline and honesty to control the whole humongous fort of money left by him ?
The MONEY MONEY MONEY Policy which our beloved Malaysia is now engulfed with and it has affected all the citizens, will only bring us much pain and grief. There should be a clear distinction between the Public and the Private Sectors as regards the making of money as practised in all Western democratic countries.
The Republic of Singapore is not democratic and its citizens has been enslaved in the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System ruled over by one single party as created by the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
Our beloved Malaysia had no dis-harmony before 2004. But thereafter, without understanding what made the tiny isle of Singapore ticked, we plunged headlong into all manner of MONEY MONEY MONEY Policies without a study or due consideration whether these foreign Singaporean Policies fit into our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALIST CHARACTERISTICS and a Malay Bias with our loyalty and devotion towards the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and our chereished Constitution which safeguards Islam and all the other religions, or not
Our present political dichotomy seems to be due to the fact that our Political System has become SINGAPORE STYLE POLITICS WITH CAPITALIST CHARACTERISTICS ONLY. The checks and balances have been cast away.
How would the Rakyat take this political change which is earth shattering ?

The Singaporeans are slowly discovering that they have been conned not only of their hard-earned CPF contributions but also enslaved by the crooked Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s (1959-2015) Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats since 1959 !
And to top this off, here is a conman and crooked Dictator who was actively in collusion with the West during the Cold War (1948-1989) to oppress and enslave the citizens whilst he openly boasted about his own self-glorification.
There is no doubt that he was a rogue alumnus of the venerable University of Cambridge like the British traitors, Blunt, Burgess and Maclean before him. His departure has left the Singaporeans with no answer to the dilemma they now face – the highest standard of living standards in the World based on property prices and the lowest wages in comparison to other developed countries.

The cyber-troops and camp followers of the late crooked con-man and Dictator (1959-2015) like HBT1234 and of similar ilk have been vilifying and abusing me for presenting the true facts about their Boss. It is only proper that I respond with the 41 failed Policies of the Dictator with your kind permission. Not only that, these facts will also open the minds of the millions of new Bloggers who will visit this distinguished site.
The 41 failed Policies of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015)
1. Lee Kuan Yew claimed to have a Starred Double First in Law from the University of Cambridge. The University of Cambridge enshrines the freedom of thought, freedom of expression and freedom of action since its inception over 600 years ago. Lee Kuan Yew turned rogue when he created the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. This political philosophy is in direct contrast to Cambridge’s beliefs.
2. From the original Democratic System which Lee Kuan Yew took power in 1959, he connived and colluded with the Western Powers to maintain his power and overlordship over the citizens. A sort of Grand Conspiracy without informing the citizens.
3. Money was used to buy up Thaksin Shinawatra. This inadvertently brought deaths and injuries to innocent men, women and children and two coup de’tat. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
4. The 2 Child Family of 1970s and 1980s brought sadness and misery through emigration, abortions, sterilizations, suicides etc.
5. The loss of US$ 108 Billions (RM 420 Billions) of CPF money in October 2008 on Wall Street by the dysfunctional meritocrats.
6. Humanity and Multi-Culturalism never practised. The Policy, if any, was based on the 70% majority. The Curry Smell Tribunal, the 188 bus drivers strike, toilet fights etc.
7. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over.- Dr Chee, Tan Koon Swan. The Aussie, Malaysian and German drug mules. Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw – if the Police stopped at 1, he would not be in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl !
8. 5,000 pigs were imported daily. But within 100 days of the Dictator’s departure, an additional 2,000 pigs were permitted to be imported daily from Sarawak. This is not corruption. It is the rule of law. The flower contracts. King of the Road. The Kim Eng sale to Maybank etc. etc.
9. A World Class transportation system not established. Vide Manobani
10. The failure to manage the foreign workers. Vide The Little India riots, the Rex cinemas sit in etc.
11. Spy networks established in friendly countries. Vide. Wikileaks
12. An apparent full-fledge military of 300,000 reservists, Gurkhas, F-35s, Apaches, C-130s, AWACS, rusting tanks, long range artillery, humongous balloons, 9 submarines, corvettes, bomb disposal squads, secret caverns, spies, bomb-proof buildings, a S$ 2 Billions strategic water reserve.etc.
13. The failure of the DAP as founded by the retreating PAP in 1966.
14. The Policy to dominate Malaysia by the use of proxies.
15. The Policy to use the TPPA which is Singapore inspired and promoted, to remove the tariff barriers of Malaysia for Singapore goods.
16. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Hong Kong has 99% efficiency.
17. The Policy to import 1.2 Million foreigners to boost the GDP.
18. The Meritocratic Policy was dismantled by 2 Ministerial announcements in 2013 which said that applicants for promotions and jobs need not be considered on the academic qualifications alone but also on their hidden talents.
19. The highes paid Ministers in the World. Vide Warren Buffet.
20. The emigration of 300,000 citizens during 1959-2015.
21. The spy System to collect information on everyone since 1972.
22. The legal use of the CPF contributions without due consideration to the contributors rights and aspirations.
23. The Policy to invest money in common with the hoi polloi which resulted in high risk investment when gold would have been a better option.
24. The Policy to purchase foreign athletes to win gold medals.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, the UN Dutch economics expert could produce the master plan for the infra-structural development of Singapore. On the other, the Dictator was left to develop the human resources of Singapore which he screwed down to 62% in 2010 from 100% in 1959.
26. The Dictator was in power from 1959-2015. Only the Thai King beats him.
27. The failure of the major Policies of the Singapore Government from 1959 to 2015.
28. The Money Grab Policy failed due to its rejection by the citizens. In 1982, a young tycoon was sent round to the schools to teach the children that it is good to be greedy.
29. The Profiteering Policy as adopted by all the Government Agencies.
Vide. Ngiam Tong Dow. The Singapore Medical Journal. September 2013.
30. The failure of the CLOB from being cast out of the SGX/Bursa arrangement.
31. The Nantah and the Vernacular Schools were wiped out by 1972.
32. The Policy to use INSEAS to brainwash young UMNO aspirants to be the time bombs of the future.
33. The Policy to discard the Sovereignty, National Interest and Self-esteem and invest in common stocks with the common people. This resulted in losses all over.
34. The Policy to produce a confetti of published works in praise of the Dictator. In 2014, ‘The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ was published by the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the top politicians, academics etc. in a Festschrift which showed clearly that there is no separation of powers, the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary.
35. The Policy to establish 2 casinos which failed.
36. The Policy to pay over market values for assets owned by tycoons like Thaksin, and other regional ones for services rendered.
37. Equality Policy was based on the 70% Chinese population.
38. The Siblings were all over the Singapore System.
39. The failure to care for the 99% citizens fairly and equally.
40. Lee Kuan Lee used his academic brilliance to subjugate the ciizens for his own ends and glorification. And he departed without providing an answer to their present dilemma.
41. The Dictator’s family is the only Singaporean family which from zero in 1951 became billionaires legally in 2015 !

Less than 100 days after the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) departed, it was reported that an additional 2,000 pigs were permitted to be imported from Sarawak into Singapore which used to import 5,000 pigs daily. The importers were connected with the ruling family.
Now we note another bungle of the first order by the Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats thus as reported today in the media

Today, Saturday 15th of August 2015, we read all over the social media that huge sums of United States Dollars belonging to the Rakyat of Malaysia, were permitted by Singapore to flow in and out of its jurisdiction without any question asked. Here is a real and factual example on how the Singapore authorities apply their anti-money laundering powers according to their self-interest.
In June, 2007, I was given my share of my annual distribution from my father’s Trust amounting to US$ 107,000.00 in the form of a cheque drawn on New York. As the OCBC Singapore has been my banker for many years, I credited this New York cheque to my personal account on a Saturday morning through the banking hall counter. It was accepted without a murmur. By mid-day, the following Monday, I received a call from the bank, OCBC, that they rejected my request. By Tuesday morning the following day, I was at the same counter which I deposited the cheque. I asked the officer, a Hokkien lady, why the bank rejected my request even though I knew all the Chairmen and was a customer for decades. She just look blankly at me, maybe with a flicker of fear in her eyes. I even told her that one of the signatories of the cheque was the nephew of Lee Kuan Yew. I was forced to take back the cheque and deposited it again elsewhere.
This shows that the Singapore Government is discriminatory in its treatment of those who use its financial services with a heavy hand. And no questions ask when Billions and Billions of United States Dollars belonging to the Rakyat of a country were permitted to pass through private accounts. This is an international skullduggery at the highest level.
A few days after the OCBC incident affecting me, there appeared an article in the Singapore Business Time issued by the Monetary Authority of Sinagpore that in future, customers of banks might be inconvenienced for reasons best known to the Government.
I opened my OCBC account in the 1960s and between then and 2007, hundreds of cheques passed through this account.
This is one fact out of many which confirms that the crooked conman and Dictator (1959-2015)created the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System. There is no freedom of choice. This is a fact, not a hatred as alleged by his employee, z2z.
With the Singapore Government, there is a fast trek in banking for some, not me !

It is appropriate that all Bloggers are kept informed with the true information on the state of affairs in the minds of the citizens of Singapore. Here is another vignette of how the CPF’s contributions are managed to the unhappiness of the citizens. Otherwise, our beloved Malaysia is not put on a level playing field !

Ominous moves have been made by China during the last two days in the interest of stabilizing and stimulating her economy through her monetary policy – she devalued twice in succession.
China apart from Russia and Malaysia are the countries which aped the GLCs of the Republic of Singapore. The GLCs were in fact copy-cat versions of the central command business entities in Communist countries and were adopted into the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s (1959-2015) Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System in his all out bid to out-do our beloved Malaysia.
I venture to point out that Russia, China and Singapore have Dictatorial Regimes. Malaysia has our Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalistic Characteristics and a Malay Bias.
With thousands of GLCs in China, and with the bubble economy which has been created through the years of investments in properties and the Stock Exchanges – classical industries more prone to the vulnerability of bubbles, we can now see for the very first time how a huge country which copied in some respects the GLCs of Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social Singapore, is going to deal with such a critical situation ! A country which was unofficailly listed as one of the most corrupt in the World a year ago.
First, if unfettered wheeling and dealing took place in all these Chinese GLCs, then we must expect the pigeons will come home to roost – employees will be re-trenched by the thousands giving rise to social unrest. Two years ago there were already 2 Millions unemployed graduates. The Chinese economy slowed down in 2014.
Second, the real danger is if these GLCs over-extended or over-traded in their irrelevant exuberance, the many thousands of them, the huge ice-berg of hidden debts will only be exposed in a crisis.
Third, it seems the Chinese GLCs scenario is a jump ahead of our beloved Malaysia which may have only 100 GLCs. In China, there are thousands of GLCs. The resultant effect of the efficiency and competence of these Chinese GLCs in a crisis should provide us with an interesting insight of what could happen to our very own 100 GLCs. Akan Datang.
Those numbskulls who think that the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) was a benign gentleman, must be from Mars.

I find that the brilliant Double First in Law at Cambridge, Lee Kuan Yew who turned out to be a maverick to his Alma Mater by becoming a crooked con-man and Dictator (1959-2015) a fascinating subject to study. He blazed through the World at large and stomped down on the Singaporeans and told us, gullible, naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians that we are stupid and corrupt. In our gratefulness, the Malaysian Chinese and some other Malaysians salaam to him like a god.
The screaming headlines which emanated today from the London Financial Times are precisely what I have commented about – the abettment of the Western media in a conspiracy with the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System created by the Dictator (1959-2015) and imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. As I mentioned before the Dictator’s Ultra Communistic System is known as the Singapore Model or authoritarian captialism or benign dictatorship (no such thing as all Dictatorships are cruel and uncompromising) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.
In the pre-Net days, the Financial Times would have got away without any independent comment.
The screaming headlines in the Financial Times today :-
1. ” Malaysia can learn from Singapore’s governance.”
2. ” Lion City economic achievements substantial.”
3. ” Singapore ramps up start up efforts.”
4. ” Pragmatic Singapore can afford a little poetry.”
These headlines confirm what could be done with MONEY MONEY MONEY. But the stark problem facing Singapore is the lack of LIEBENSRAUM and indigenous people who have a vested interest in the well-being of Singapore and not those foreigners who were either very rich or fellow travellers with an eye to greener pastures like Australia, Canada or the United States. This is not 19th or early 20th Century Singapore – a haven in the midst of horrific turmoil in China or India.
The brainwashing phase of the Singaporeans and the Malaysians has petered out due to the Net. The manipulation of the news media by the Ministry of Information, Singapore is already out-dated since the 20th century. The citizens now want to know what had happened to their CPF contributions from decades ago. They are not convinced that all these super-duper smart elites ruling over them are that good. The first blow was the loss of US$ 108 Billions (RM 420 Billions) on Wall Street in October 2008. They have been stunned to this day when the citizens realise that fellow the very clever Dictator was just a normal human being. Vide. Hans Christian Anderson’s Fairy Tale, ‘ The Boy and the Prince without clothes.’
These Financial Times headlines are a good record of the historical past of the failed State of Singapore under the control of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015). We may place the glorification and the temporal power in his life-time were due entirely to him and no one else.
After his departure, these are his legacies, the beautiful buildings and his Ultra Communistic System. But where are the people who were supposed to be born during two generations ? They are there – 3.2 Millions of them – impoverished and subdued by the very leader and Government they supported. And 2.1 Millions of foreigners.
The peak of Singapore’s achievements was when the Dictator (1959-2015) retired from being a Prime Minister in 1990. Unfortunately, this coincided with the end of the Cold War (1948-1989) and Uncle Sam produced the hegemonic spiel, ” Globalization, Free Trade, and Human Rights.” which are all anathema to the traditional commercial trading activities of Singapore during the Cold War like breaking trade sanctions, arms trade, salvaging war scrap from Vietnam, smuggling, money laundering etc. Singapore which used to deal with Washington DC alone during the Cold War, was faced with a multipolar World after 1989.
And unfortunately, its dysfunctional meritocrats aka apparatchiks with the smartest fellow on top, were caught with their pants down until a recession hit Singapore at the turn of the 21st Century. Even though the dysfunctional elite could trump up 2 casinos and the poisoned chalice for Malaysia, the TPPA to save the Dictator’s legacy and by extension Singapore,in the year 2015, there are still no tangible results. The 2 casinos have failed to deliver. The TPPA could be aborted at anytime as it only benefits Singapore.
So what to do, Singapore on your 50th Birthday ?
Within 15 years, with the passing of the siblings, digits or cohorts of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015), Singapore has to consider 4 options :-
1. To be the 53rd State of the Union by joining the United States. Our Johor Straits will become just a monsoon drain protected by a chain-link fence. And we can say ‘Selamat Pagi, America’ to our friends beyond.
2. To become a British Colony again even though the Scots want out. Or join up with Scotland to form a unique partnership of Scotsmen and Chinamen – a super kiasu union.
3. To merge with Malaysia again. The ancients forbid because a good horse does not return to old pastures.
4. To maintain status quo to defy the gods with the highest cost of living in the World and a humongous lend lease military manned by foreign mercenaries.

We Malaysians who are naive, friendly and hospitable, were the perfect targets for the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) to use his best brainwashing methods on us as advised by his best advisers from the Middle East and the West. Hence, the Ministry of Information is one of the most important in his Ministerial armoury.
In the history of modern warfare, an army is not complete without the skullduggery of spying, brainwashing, disinformation, etc. which were applied by the crooked conman and Dictator to the fullest on us, the Malaysians.
Dictatorships have a strangle hold on everything witin their power to oppress, suppress and destroy without any regard to the laws which are controlled by them through dysfunctional Judiciaries. The dictatorial nexus stretches down to the last dot or comma as is now slowly being revealed in the Dictatorial State of Singapore. Cronies and siblings are placed in all the nodal points of the nexus.
The Malaysian Chinese media has lapped up all the misinformation fed to it for 2 generations for want of a Malaysian Chinese hero. Hence, even any foreign Chinese will do. This shows the paucity of original and independent thought.
The fact that our beloved Malaysia which has everything becoming that of a democratic and independent Nation is not respected and admired by some. But these unthinking sycophants worship the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) in a tiny place which is much more inferior to whatever we have.
For starters, he created the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. The citizens have been brainwashed or coerced from day one of his dictatorial Rule.
The other fact is that the Malaysian Chinese instead of finding their own leader lapped up to all the nonsense as dished out by the Dictator through his humongous Ministry of Information for two generations. The spying on the sexual peccadilloes of full blood Malaysians is for keeps, not for fun. Vide Wikeleaks.
And if these Malaysian Chinese look past those Singaporean glittering buildings, what do they see ? Nothing ! This is because the modern Singapore as decreed by the Dictator has no human values. The whole edifice is based on MONEY MONEY MONEY which has now collapsed. And can only be maintained by the crass importation of foreign workers to boost the fallen GDP since 2000.
Our folks with their enraptured minds have copied the GLCs which can only exist in a Communistic or ultra-Communistic System like Singapore’s, or Russia’s or China’s. To introduce these GLCs into a Western democratic System is just like permitting another Government which is off-budget to do their own mischief. Of course, unless such a democratic System has changed into a dictatorial one without the consent of the Rakyat !
For those who are interested to find out what brainwashing means, here is a quote from the distinguishded Blog ‘Future Fast Forward.’ eg.
According to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propagandist (1933-1945) :-
“If you tell a lie long enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie.
It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all its powers to repress dissent for th truth is the mortal enemy of the lie and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
The above-mentioned spiel by Goebbels was exactly what was practised by the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) on the Singaporeans and us, the Malaysians for 2 generations.
AND THIS IS THE REASON WHY THE WORSHIPPERS OF THE DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW (1959-2015) DO THEIR UTMOST TO SHUT ME UP BECAUSE I REVEAL THE TRUTH.
And now by waking up, let all Malaysians realise we do not have an inferiority complex and do not need to copy the inferior and lesser Dictatorial State of Singapore which has already failed. We will be up and running again as soon as NORMALCY returns.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

Two screaming headlines stood out today, 8 August 2015 eg. ” The Singapore Miracle.” and ” Singapore turns 50 tomorrow.” Both are designed to put the inferiority complex in us Malaysians. But during these days of the Net and my recent researches into the open Public Policies of the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015), we have no more inferiortiy complex which was deliberately injected into our minds, the naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians.
Also we must never forget that it was the UN economics expert Dr Alfred Winsemius, a Dutchman, who advised the Singapore Government from 1961 to 1984 on the infrastructural development which we see today in Singapore i.e the glittering buildings, the land reclamation, the Jurong Industrial Park etc.
And the development of the human resources were left to the Dictator who screwed down the indigenous population from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010 as per the Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population. 2010. 40% of the Singapore population are foreigners. He failed in the development of a viable and sustainable State. And within 15 years, Singapore has to consider 4 Options :-
1. To merge with the United States.
2. To be a British Crown Colony
3. To merge with Malaysia
4. To maintain status quo with the highest cost of living in the World and a Lend Lease military manned by foreign mercenaries.
On the 50th Birthday of Singapore, the crooked conman and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) left behind his self-created Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. No Dictatorial System has ever survived the departure of the Dictator eg. Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito, etc.
For those Malaysian die-hards who think the crooked con-man and Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) is the paragon of all virtues and that his poisonous and communistic GLCs are a God-send, we do not need to look far. Just look at the political and financial mess which was created by these GLCs, in our beloved Malaysia today. Suddenly, we were covered by billions and billions of ringgits which we could not even count how many ringgits could be slotted in the right places.
If no one dares, I with the facts from the 40 failed Public Policies of the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) state that the human problems of our beloved Malaysia could be pin-pointed on him. And I could discern these facts after a cursory research from September 2011 !
The Failed Public Policies of the Dictator, Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015).
1. Money was used to buy out Thaksin Shinawatra to stop him from constructing the Isthmus of Kra Canal. This act inadvertently caused the deaths and injuries to innocent men, women and children and produced two Juntas. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy of 1970s and 1980s led to the demographic vacuum today. This also caused untold mental anguish, sterilizations, abortions, suicides etc. Only Hitler did this.
3. The loss of US$ 108 Billions (RM 420 Billions) of CPF money on Wall Street in October 2008. Vide Channelnewsasia Lee Kuan Yew November 2008
Financial Times London. Gillian Tett. April 2010.
4. Humanity and Multiculturalism not practised. Vide. The Curry Smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike. The toilets fights etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over. Vide. Dr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw. If the Police stopped at one, he would not have been in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl ! The Aussie, Malaysian and German drug mules. etc.
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily until 1 month ago when an additional 2,000 were imported from Sarawak. It is not corruption. It is the Rule of Law without the Dictator. Flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank. etc.etc.
7. A World Class Transportation System not established. Vide. Manubhani-distinguished diplomat and academic.
8. The failure to manage foreign workers. Vide The Little India Riots. The Rex cinemas sit-in etc.
9. Spy networks set up in friendly neighbouring countries. The information passed onto third parties. Vide Wikileaks.
10. A full fledged Lend Lease military with 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkha guards, F-35s, Apaches, Hercules C-130, AWACs, humongous balloons, 9 submarines, corvettes, rusting tanks,long range artillery, secret caverns, a strategic S$ 2 Billions water reserve, bomb-proofed buildings, spies complete with swallows, ducks, journalists, tycoons, academics etc, in friendly countries.
11. The Policy to establish the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in 1966.
12. The Policy to inspire, design, create and promote the poisoned chalice TPPA for Malaysia. Singapore is the sole beneficiary.
13. The Policy to dominate Malaysia by the use of proxies and brainwashing.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT, Hong Kong has 99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 Millions foreigners to boost the GDP and call itself World Class.
16. The Meritocratic System which was used to enslave the 99% of the population by the 1% elite. How many can go to he Ivy League or Oxbridge ? The System was dismantled by 2 Ministerial announcements in 2013. In future, applicants for jobs and promotions will not be based on their academic qualifications alone but also on their hidden talents!
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World. Vide Warren Buffet.
18. The emigration of 300,000 supporters of the Dictator. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population.
19. The Spy System to collect information on everyone with the super computer since the early 1970s.
20. The legal use of the CPF contributors money without consideration for the rights and aspirations of the contributors.
21. The Policy to invest Singapore’s public funds into all types of risky investments when gold would have been a better option in 2000.
22. The purchase of 4th rate foreign athletes to win Gold Medals.
23. The Dictator was in power from 1959 to 2015. Only the Thai King beats him.
24. The failure of the Singapore Government’s Policies since 1965.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, the UN expert, advised and produced a glittering city. On the other, the Dictator screwed down the indigenous population 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. Vide. Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2010.
26. The Money Grab Policy was rejected by the citizens. In the early 1980s, a young tycoon was sent to the schools to lecture to the young children that it was good to be greedy. Vide Singapore Business Times.
27. The Profiteering Policy which involved all the Government Agencies. Vide. Ngiam Tong Dow. The Singapore Medical Journal. September 2013.
28. The failure of CLOB from being cast out of the SGX./Bursa arrangement in 2000. The CLOB was used like a yo-yo to suck money out of the Bursa through exhortations via the media. It was good while it lasted.
29. Nantah and the Vernacular Schools were wiped out by the 1970s.
30. The Godless Ultra Communist Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by the Dictator’s Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. This System is abetted by the West and was known in the West for decades except Singapore and Malaysia.
31. The Policy to use INSEAS as a forum to brainwash young UMNO aspirants as time bombs at some future date. The following morning after the lecture, the Straits Times would publish a glowing report on the brilliant UMNO aspirant.
32. The Policy to disregard the Soverignty, National Interest and Self Esteem of Singapore and invest in penny stocks like the rest of the hoi-polloi.
33. The Policy to produce a flurry of works praising the Dictator in 2014. This produced a FESTSCHRIFT filled with articles by the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the top politicians, the academics and Civil Servants.”The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew” 2014. THIS CONFIRMS THE DICTATORSHIP OF LEE KUAN YEW BY SHOWING THERE ARE NO SEPARATION OF EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL POWERS. Singapore is not a Democracy.
34. The Dictator’s family is the only indigenous family which became multi-billionaires from zero in 1951.
35. The failure to create a sustainable and viable State after 50 years.
36. The demolition of places of worship in the early 1970s.
37. The nepotism practised by the Dictator who placed members of his family all over the Government and private sector nexus.
38. The failure to put Singapore on a normal trek of achievement but the Dictator put all available resources at more than maximum stress. And then he departed.
39. The Dictator failed to create a Democratic Singapore.
40. The Dictator inspired, designed, created and promoted poisoned chalice TPPA for Malaysia is part of his life-long obsession to down Malaysia and put this LIEBENSRAUM under his control via the backdoor – like how he entered Cambridge- through the backdoor of Fitzwilliam House
We need not be reminded that all the Dictator’s ideas and policies have failed. And for Malaysia to copy-cat his failed GLCs will be a very high price to pay. Why ? Because the GLCS are the creations of Communistic Dictators and their Dictatorships. GLCs have never worked with Civil Servants doing business with PUBLIC MONEY. This is well-recorded in history.

Perhaps, I should elaborate more on the FEAR which was evident in the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s (1959-2015) failed 40 Policies for two generations.
His greatest FEAR was his fear of losing power. Hence, the unique Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. This Political System is more Communistic than Fascist because major companies are controlled by the Government with central planning unlike Fascism which nurtured the capitalists for their support.
IT IS SO VERY IMPORTANT TO EXAMINE WHAT THE DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW (1959-2015) was up to eg. his motives, his fears, his ambitions, his personal history etc. then we will understand that he did not practise like any other top-rung Cambridge graduate but a Singaporean thug. His speeches through the years confirmed.
What a pity that his hold on absolute power after the events of 1962 with the support of the West brought out the worst aspects of his character – the back stabbing of our beloved Malaysia behind our backs in Washington DC, London etc. Even years before his departure, his thoughts and speech were found wanting.
We could literally pin-point this lapse during the ten years before the turn of the 21st Century when the tiny isle of Singapore was caught flat-footed by Uncle Sam’s post-Cold War (1948-1989) spiel, “Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.” which were anathema to the traditional trading ways of ye olde Singapura eg. smuggling, arms trade, breaking sanctions, retrieving Vietnam war waste, money laudering etc. It was no longer a Un-Polar World but Multi-Polar. Singapore was by-passed by the ex-Communist Super Powers now in play.
WHEN A NATION DEPENDED ON ONE MAN, A DICTATOR, AND WITH HIS DEPARTURE, ITS POLITICAL SYSTEM CAN ONLY COLLAPSE ! We have examples of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito, etc. Within three months of the Dictator’s demise, an additional 2,000 pigs are now imported daily from Sarawak !
And his innermost FEAR OF THE FEAR ITSELF is well-illustrated by his deployment of bomb disposal squads from the 1970s onwards.
These bomb-disposal squads would sweep an area with a radius of 100 metres from the Dictator’s Lee Kuan Yew point of attendance at any function. At least, one hour before his arrival. Every lamp-post, tree, flower pot, etc would be scanned slowly and carefully leaving no stone unturned. This FEAR OF BOMBS BEGAN IN THE 1970s to this day. Hence, the humongous military manned by foreign mercenaries were to protect the Dictator more than the citizens. And now with his departure, the impoverished indigenous Singaporean citizens are left to face the headwinds !

It is time to do an expose’ on the real Lee Kuan Yew the Dictator of Singapore (1959-2015) and his myths which were abetted by the Western Powers for reasons best known to themselves.
The Dictator Lee Kuan Yew claimed to have scored Double Star Firsts in Law at the University of Cambridge just after World War Two. As far as it is known he competed against a handful of war weary veterans after having gained entrance into the University through the back-door of the lowest rung non-collegiate Fitzwilliam House which was set up for certain members of the British Establishment. But he scored a Third Class at the Bar Finals London whilst his wife scored 3rd position out of about 200. My wife scored 7th position out of 700 in 1959 against the best in post-war Britain.
The Dictator Lee Kuan Yew demeaned and abused the precepts of the University of Cambridge – freedom of thought, expression and speech by conning two generations of Singaporeans, Malaysians and the World.
With his intellect trained by the University of Cambridge, instead of observing the hallowed ideals of this venerable University, he took off on his own political course of self-centred glorification at the total expense of those who supported him for two generations – the Singaporean citzens. He was like the Cantabrigian Cold War traitors, Blunt, Maclean and Burgess. Not only that, he had the arrogance to be a trouble-maker in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia – his immediate neighbours. Of course, his ASEAN policies failed as he was fighting against a demographic and historical trend created by himself unnecessarily. This showed how arrogant and narcissitic the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew was – a person who did not take second place as an answer. It was abnormal to use intellect to bolster one’s unlimited intentions in the face of the history of Humankind. No dictator, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito or Castro has succeeded. With their departure, the collapse will surely come like Lee Kuan Yew’s.
Unlike the superlative record of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whose record is engraved in stone and not on BLUFFOLOGY or hot air, the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew’s record was not only tainted but was a non-starter. His Government has no separation of the powers, Executive, Legislative, Judiciary. Vide. ‘The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ 2014. In which the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the top Civil Servants, academicians, politicians etc all lined up to salaam the Boss in a Festschrift ! The key Government and Civil Service posts were held by his siblings. And most of the Governmental nexus are guarded by those who were related to him. The whole of the Republic of Singapore is one big sham. And to boot, only one indigenous Singaporean family between 1959-2015 attained multi-billionaire status – the family of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew.
And here are his 40 Policies failures for those Bloggers who wished to be kept informed that Humankind are all the same and for those hard core worshippers of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015)
1. Money was used to buy up Thaksin Shinawatra to stop him from building the Isthmus of Kra Canal. This resulted in the political divisions in friendly Thailand. Not only this, many innocent Thai men, women and children died or injured. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy of 1970s and 1980s was the real killer of today’s Singapore which has only an indigenous population of 3.2 Millions. Vide The Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.
3. The loss of US$ 108 Billions (RM420 Billions)in October 2008 on Wall Street by the dysfunctional meritocrats or apparatchiks with the smartest fellow on top. Financial Times London Gillian Tett April 2010. Channelnewsasia. Lee Kuan Yew November 2008.
4. Multi-culturalism and Humanity not practised. Vide the 188 bus drivers strike, the toilet fights, the Rex cinemas sit-in, the Curry Smell Tribunal, the destruction of places of worship in the 1970s etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over. The Aussie, German and Malaysian drug mules, Tan Koon Swan, Dr Chee, Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw – if the Police stopped at 1, he would not have been in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl !
6. 5,000 pigs were imported daily. It was rumoured that 2,000 pigs belonged to a close sibling and the rest belonged to another relative. However, within 100 days of the Dictator’s demise, another 2,000 pigs were permitted to be imported from Sarawak daily. Flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank etc.
7. A World Class transportation system not established. Vide. Manubhani.
8. The failure to manage foreign workers eg. the Little India riots, the Rex cinemas sit in, 188 bus-drivers strike toilet fights etc.
9. Spy networks set-up in neighbouring countries and the information passed to third parties. Vide Wikileaks.
10. An apparent full-fledged military based on lend lease and with 300,000 reservists, brigades of Gurkhas, F-35, AWACS, Apaches, drones, Hercules C-130, humongous balloons, rusting tanks, corvettes, underground caverns, bomb-proofed buildings, strategic water reserve, 9 submarines, long range artillery, foreign mercenaries, a spy network of swallows, ducks, tycoons, journalists, academicians, Malaysian politicians,etc deployed in neighbouring countries especially Malaysia.- to protect the Dictator. Vide Wikileaks.
11. The failure of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to make in-roads into the Malaysian political arena by doing nothing since 1966.
12. The Policy to use PROXIES TO DOMINATE MALAYSIA.
13. By the use of the TPPA which is a poisoned chalice for Malaysia, to finish off Malaysia and turn it into Singapore’s LIEBENSRAUM. Without the TPPA, Singapore is finished within 15 years or less.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT System. Hong Kong MRT has 99.9% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 millions FTs to bolster the GDP together with the multi-billionaires. This caused untold suffering to the indigenous Singaporeans.
16. The Meritocratic System was dismantled in 2013 when two Ministers announced that in future, applicants for jobs and promotions will be based not only on their academic qualifications but also on their hidden talents.
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World. Vide Warren Buffet
18. The emigration of 300,000 supporters of the Dictator during the same period when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad created without strife or rancour, 3 millions famillies of the Malay Middle Income Group which up-lifted the 3 millions famillies of the non-Malay Middle Income Group by the purchases of the goods and services of the latter by the former.
19. The Spy System to collect information on everyone. The threat is now World-wide.
20. The legal use of the CPF money without due regard to the wishes and legal rights of the contributors.
21. The Policy to invest in all sorts of equities like the hoi-polloi when it would have been better to consider the proper investment options as a sovereign state.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals.
23. The Dictator remained in power from 1959 – 2015. Only the Thai King beats him.
24. The failure of the many Policies of the Singapore Government since 1965.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius the Dutch UN economics expert advised the Singapore Government from 1961 to 1984 on its infra-structural development plan which you see the glittering results today eg, the buildings, reclamation, Asian Dollar, Jurong Industrial Park etc. On the other, the development of the human resources was left to the Dictator who screwed down the indigenous population from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. 300,000 of his supporters emigrated. Vide. Singapore Government’s White Paper on P9pulation 2011.
26. The Money Grab Policy of the Government failed and was rejected by the citizens. In the early 1980s, a young tycoon was sent round to the schools to lecture to the schoolchildren that it was good to be greedy.
27. The Profiteering Policy which involves the Temasek Holdings, GIC, CPF, HDB Public Utilities, all Government entities which concern with money. Vide. The Singapore Medical Journal. Ngiam Tong Dow. September 2013.
28. The failure of CLOB to avoid being cast out of the SGX/Bursa. The CLOB was used like a yo-yo by organised groups to suck the money out of the System through exhortations by word of mouth or the Press.
29. The Nantah and the Chinese Vernacular School System were wiped out by the early 1970s.
30. The Dictator’s creation of the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by the Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats has gone toxic with the 50% of the citizens demanding their CPF contributions returned.
31. The Policy to use INSEAS (Institute of South East Asian Studies) to brainwash young up-coming UMNO aspirants by inviting them to lecture. This was followed by a glowing report in the Straits Times the following morning. No Malaysian Chinese has ever been invited except for DAP members.
32. The Policy to discard ‘Sovereignty, National Interest, Self Esteem and to invest like the hoi-polloi of the rest of the World.
33. The Policy to publish a confetti of books praising the Dictator sky high by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats, ” Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew “.which firmly confirmed there is no separation of powers in tiny Singapore.
34. The Policy to establish 2 casinos ended in failure.
35. The Policy to import FTs to bolster the GDP to enable it to punch above its weight which led to the failure to care for its own citizens.
36 The Policy to re-pay tycoons for services on information etc by buying their assets way above the market values eg. Thaksin Shinawatra, Li Kah Shin, a local crypto tycoon. etc.
37. The complete failure in the separation of the the three main branches of Government, Executive, Legislative, Judiciary.
38. Equality never practised as the Policy was based on the 70% Chinese population.
39 The use of Siblings all over the Government and the Civil Service and important financial organisations.
40 The Policy of the Dictator to discard what was good from the venerable University of Cambridge. He set out on a path of oppression and suppression of the Cantabrigian virtues like freedom of thought, expression and speech for two generations. And he created his rojak Godless Ultra Communistic Political System imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats which was also known as the Singapore Model, the authoritarian captialism, benign dictatorship (no such thing) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas. Both Russia and China adopted this Model for them to climb down from their greasy Communistic poles of no return. In September 2013, Russia awarded an academic medal to the Dictator with 4 other academics . In 1992, Deng Xiao Peng commented,’ They administer well. But we will do better than them.’ In Russia we have hte oligarchs, in China the princelings and in Singapore, THE SIBLINGS.

It is amazing how two generations of Singaporeans and Malaysians could be duped by the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) through brainwashing that he was a great and brilliant person with no flaws and no interest in money. Through my studies on this fascinating subject since 2011 and my deep knowledge of Malaysia and Singapore since October 1951, I was shocked that there is such a vast difference between the Man and his Myth. I can only surmised that this state of affairs were deliberately contrived between the Western Powers and the Dictator himself and abetted by the best brainwashing machines and spy system of the West.
Tun, you maybe the only one who were not fooled by this false facade, in Malaysia and Singapore.
With the life-time record of this self-glorified Dictator who sold his honour and integrity to the West at the drop of the hat, is really shocking. But then, his pay-off came in the form of billions of dollars which he would not have attained coming from a poor background in Singapore. Remember the false honesty which the Dictator displayed in the 1960s when he claimed the CIA tried to bribe him. Because he is now discovered to be a full subscribing member to the shenanigans of the West, his CIA claim could be one big lie and could not be taken at the face value. This was where his claim to Cambridge fame took a big knock by not being honest with his constituents. This twist and turn of the citizen’s mind through manipulation is not the work of a great man but that of a crook and Cambridge educated crook at best like the British traitors of the Cold War Blunt, Burgess and Maclean. What a waste for such a person with a brilliant legal mind to think of all sorts of cunning schemes not only to diddle the citizens but also his neighbours like naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysia.
THIS LATEST DISCOVERY OF THE FALLACY OF THE DICTATOR LEE KUAN YEW (1959-2015) FAMED REPUTATION IS BUT A GREAT LIE WHICH IS BOLSTERED BY 41 FAILED POLICIES CONCOCTED BY HIM. This discovery that he only cared for his own self-glorification in going against all the tenets which the venerable University of Cambridge served like the freedom of expression, speech and thinking, can only be described that he brought great shame to his Alma Mater like the British traitors like Blunt, Burgess and Maclean before him. With his departure, he left 99.00 % of the citizens poor and floundering.
However the great Statemen of India, Pandit Nehru and Manmohan Singh also went up to Cambridge but they were not self-seeking but normal. My Thai friend Adnan Panyrachoon who were twice the Prime Minister of Thailand was at Cambridge as well. But he was normal and honourable and observed the centuries old tenets of his Alma Mater.
The Dictator’s Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats bullies intelligent teenagers, like Amos Yee and all those, like Roy Ngerng who stand in its way of complete domination.
With the departure of the Dictator, the Singapore Model, authoritarian capitalism, benign dictatorship (no such thing) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas can only collapse like that of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito, etc.
TJS George with his insight had written a book published in 1973 “Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore” in which he highlighted the shenanigans of the Dictator that long ago. It is refreshing to note his signal and unsolicited comment on Tun Dr Mahathir Moahamad in his Blogspot June 2011 courtesy jesscscott.blog
” The West has spread the impression that Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew is Asia’s outstanding economic miracle man while Malaysia’s Mahathir as a cantankerous ogre, hater of white people and a dictator to boot. Both are dressed up portraits. What makes Mahathir special is that while pursuing economic progress, he never lost sight of the larger picture of human values. That cannot be said of Lee Kuan Yew and certainly not of Indonesia’s Suharto or Thailand’s Thaksin Shinawatra.”
TJS George is a famous journalist in India the biggest democratic country in the World. He continues his fight against social injustice, corruption and political anarchies through his columns.

For years on other Blogs and occasionally on this Blog, whenever a fact on the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) was presented, some brain-washed self-appointed guardian of the faith of their hero Dictator Lee Kuan Yew would come at me with hammer and tongs. Their fury has never been supported by any fact because these blind, deaf and dumb supporters just support blindly showing their naivety and ignorance in the process.
A graduate from the University of Cambridge should conduct himself/herself in an honourable manner and not take advantage of the hapless postion of the citizrns in anyway. But as time goes on, and more and more of the Dictator’s handiwork are revealed which showed that the Dictator was very fond of legalising all manner of rules and regulations to extract the last cent out of the citizens wherewithal. Instead of fulfilling the citizens trust in him, the Dictator short-changed them for two generations.
Only the infamous British traitors of the Cold War from Cambridge, Blunt, Burgess and Maclean betrayed the great and grand tradition of this venerable University. The other was Lee Kuan Yew who betrayed the trust the citizens put in him by being abnormal and glorified himself with the powers of the State 1959-2015.
Strangely, as I said in another comment, the siblings of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew together with him and his wife were the only self-made multi-billionaire Singaporean family between 1959 to 2015 – from ZERO to HERO. The Lee Family was poor in 1951.
The Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System was created by the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats bolstered by the CPF-HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-Water Conservation Tax-COE-Traffic Taxes-GST-Free Water from Malaysia-Public Utilities-the Civil Service-the Judiciary-the foreign manned Military.

Through legal means the PAP Government of Singapore maintains a strangling hold on the citizens wherewithal, notably to weaken them financially to make them timid and subservient. But without their permission the PAP Government also used the money for speculation in shares. They could make quite a tidy sum by using the CLOB like a yo-yo on the joint KL-SGX Stock Exchange from the 1970s to the break-up of the CLOB in 2000. There were weeks of insults and abuse in the Straits Times columns against Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Three screaming headlines today, 30 June 2015. The naive friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times and the Star . StarBiz Page 5.
1. New Straits Times . ” Let’s fast track and join TPP.” and The Star
” Don’t be left out, join TPP.”
Both these headlines impressed me as having a sense of great urgency to join something which the author of these two similarly written exhortations did not adequately explain.
I believe the author is the Chairman of a listed Company in which the late Dictator Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore (1959-2015) once had a large holding through the GIC. This is conflict of national interests. Why
Here is the true story.
After the Cold War (1948-2015) ended in 1989, the Dictator and his elites were caught with their pants down when Uncle Sam produced the hegemonic spiel,’ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ These were anathema to the traditional trading activities of Singapore.
From the easy trading ways of the Cold War in a bi-polar World, the World was suddenly thrust into a multi-polar World which resulted in the BRICS attaining the most success during the post-Cold War period. Singapore floundered in the new trading environment which was unlike the old. She could do arms trading, ignore sanctions, smuggling, salvage war scrap from Vietnam, money laundering etc. But in a multi-polar World, many competitors sprung up doing the same line of business.
By the year 2000, the economy of Singapore suffered a set-back which brought unemployment and a reduction of the GDP. The Dictator being the smartest fellow on top of the dysfunctional power pyramid was in a dilemma as they were caught short having boasted for decades of the prowess in everything.
Eventually by 2003, the dysfunctional elites proposed 2 casino llicenes and the poisoned chalice for Malaysia the TPPA.
The Singapore inspired, designed and promoted TPPA was first launched in 2006 when only Brunei, Chile and New Zealand were membrs. As the Dictator was legally minded he set up the International Tribunal for Arbitration in anticipation of the many Malaysian cases to come due to the fact that he was caught the Malaysians off-guard, dottin their i’s and crossing their t’s.
In 2006, Uncle Sam was not interested as he had better things to do.
After the Crash of October, 2008, Uncle Sam was willing to grasp any straw in the ocean to save the World of finance.
By June 2009, the Dictator, aged 85, traipsed into the Ulus – Singapore’s LIEBENSRAUM with Uncle Sam’s TPPA support in his pocket. He was as happy as Punch when he hectored the ignorant and dumb Malaysian digits, cohorts, spies, tycoons, the abang-adek politicians and drank tea in fine English porcelains in certain salons. He never had it so good.
Thereafter, our naive, hospitable and friendly Federal Government went into 19 rounds of very secret negotiations on the TPPA with Uncle Sam and Singapore. The little ant had succeeded to ride the donkey !
The poisoned chalice TPPA is for the sole benefit of Singapore as the other 10 members are thousands of miles away !
After the poisoned chalice TPPA was exposed in late 2013, there was a gathering of the Singaporean swallows, ducks, spies, journalists etc concerning the TPPA as reported in the naive, hospitable and friendly UMNO owned NSTP Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8. 2014. Spies in technicolour.
I have always said that the most important decision for our beloved to sign or not to sign is a POLITICAL DECISION which should be properly debated and not left in the hands of consultants or camp-followers ! Why ?
If our beloved Malaysia signs the poisoned chalice TPPA, the Malays will die like the Red Indians of North America. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays suffer a fate worse than death because they did not have the power to sign their own death warrant.
The moment the poisoned chalice TPPA is signed. All manner of goods will flow into Malaysia from Singapore which is just a whisper away. There will be no barriers to protect our small industries.
Malaysia’s main revenue earners are Oil and Gas, and Palm Oil sold in the free markets. All the FTZ factories are foreign owned.
Our industries and businesses will be forced to close and retrench the employees. Both the employers and the employees will blame the BN Government which will fall in the 14th General Elections. Chaos reign.
If our beloved Malaysia does not sign the poisoned chalice TPPA. then the Republic of Singapore has to consider the following four options within 15 years :-
1. To unite with the United States as the 53rd State of the Union.
2. To be a British Colony again.
3. To merge with Malaysia again.
4. To remain status quo with the highest cost of living in the World coupled with a huge military which once protected the Dictator.
The author who is a retired Civil Servant wrote in an emotional style coupled with much hectoring which was based on nothing as no facts were presented. It would have been better if he had resigned from the SINGAPORE GIC (President was the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew for many years) backed listed Company in which he is presently its Chairman first before hectoring fellow Malaysians to support their own early demise made in Singapore.
2. And finally, ” M’sia delays AIIB membership. StarBiz Page 5.
The details of this report was that Indonesia could pay US$ 672.1 Millions over 5 years and our beloved Malaysia, the Chair in ASEAN had no money to subscribe to the shares in a Bank which will definitely benefits the country tremendously. Where has the money gone ?
AND WE HAD TWO LETTERS FROM AN EX-CIVIL SERVANT WHO IS NOW THE CHAIRMAN OF A LISTED COMPANY WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY THE DICTATOR’S GIC. THESE LETTERS IN WHICH EVERY PARAGRAPH HECTORED US NAIVE, HOSPITABLE AND FRIENDLY MALAYSIANS TO COMMIT HARA KIRI. Both letters provided no fact or factual reason why we gullible Malaysians should kill ourselves in favour of Singapore !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! No TPPA for us !

It seems that some interested Bloggers have a vested interest in snuffing out facts on the late Dictator (1959-2015) and conman, Lee Kuan Yew by posting more irrelevant comments to push out such comments from the list of recent comments by Bloggers. Cunning. A super-active one is HBT – a PAP robot implanted here to do the worst.
The reason is that the increased numbers of new Bloggers should be prevented to know the true facts of failed Policies of the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew !
I found most of my comments on the real Lee Kuan Yew were quickly pushed out by this cunning tactic of the embedded PAP sympathizers from the Ministry of Information, Phoenix Park, Singapore.
No matter how hard they try, the facts on the failed Policies of the Dictator will forever be engraved in stone. Lest we forget of his meddling ways to do down our beloved Malaysia.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I PUT THE BLAME OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S CRISIS SQUARELY ON THE LATE DICTATOR 91959-2015) AND HIS GLC’s.
A few Malaysians are aware of the seriousness of the humongous ONE TRILLION DEBT INCURRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ANT ITS 100 GLCs SINCE 2004. But the rest are only aroused by the shenanigans in the 1MDB. The big debt of RM 42 Billions seem to be far away in the Moon. Theft of money from 1MDB if any, did not strike any chord anywhere due to the parochial mindsets engendered through the years. It is difficult for some to believe that people in high office can steal.
I can confirm that my closest relatives stole from me.
The 1MDB is but one tree in a forest of trees. We must not be distracted. We must see the wood from the trees. And lo and behold ! We will see the gargantuan ONE TRILLION RINGGITS DEBT INCURRED BY THE GOVERNMNET AND ITS 100 GLCs CLEARLY. It is impossible to hide a huge elephant !
But to this day, I doubt if the Government keeps track of what multi-billion ringgit loans have been incurred by all the 100 off-Budget GLCs from 2004 to 2015. This is the area where any Minister of Finance worth his salt would be worried, very worried.
And normally in circumstances like this and when the whole apple-cart goes awry, unfamiliar creditors will turn up to demand their dues. Forewarned is forearmed. But with so much financial fudging going on by spin-masters, party boys, unqualified cartoonists and moneymen etc. our beloved Malaysia is in a complete daze and cannot see the wood from the trees.
Half of the country is not aware of the future to come due to the Government’s strenuous attempts to keep our wherewithal on a status quo basis. This can only incurr more and more borrowings. But for how long can the lid be kept on this financial Pandora’s box of bad tidings.
Lest we forget.
The official Government debt is RM595 Billions ringgits.
The known GLCs debts are – 1MDB debt is RM 42 Billions ringgits. EPF lent out RM 80 Billions to the GLCs. 9 GLCs are seeking more loans ranging from RM 2 Billions to RM 11 Billions in the Dewan Rakyat. The PAC has discovered a GLC was used as a conduit to borrow more off-Budget loans. The Exim Bank had given a loan to a GLC. Tabong Haji contributed the pilgrims portion of money. There must be more unsung GLCs who had borrowed big surreptiously.
And the FGV behaved like a generous buyer whilst its fellow GLCs are faced with huge multi-billion ringgits debts. It is more than strange !
Give BIG ! Borrow BIG !
If CASH in huge amounts were taken out of the 1MDB, no one since the ancient times had been able to BALANCE THE BOOKS ! Not even with STONE UNITS ! Stupid.
And further incestous deals between 1MDB and other GLCs can only be described as OPAQUE and not arm’s length deals. We seemed to be over-ran by AMATEURS even after 58 years of Merdeka !

Two significanat events have become conjoind together this week. What a coincident in the affairs of Humankind in our beloved Malaysia.
And it has all to do with the late Dictator (1959-2015). He would be deeply disappointed with what have happened if he is still around.
Firstly, we are told that Malaysia is in very close relationship with Singapore. I do not understand what this means except that if our beloved Malaysia signs the poisoned chalice TPPA, we have been seduced for nothing. However, it concerns matters which are much deeper than the Singapore inspired, created and promoted TPPA. It is the other Singapore tainted problem of the GLCs which were copied hook, line and sinker by the Federal Government since 2004 without a study in depth as to the motive and purpose of the GLCs as created by the late Dictator.
It is known that the late Dictator was hard-working and earnest, frugal like our beloved Tun, eschewed 19 holes of golf, seldom travel and counted every legalised cent in the Government coffers. Last but not least, he had a penchant for the private and sexual lives of his underlings. He was no underling to the underlings. He was the BOSS.
Putrajaya aped the GLCs of Singapore since 2004. It is alleged that there are nearly or more, 100 GLCs. No one knows the exact figure.
However, what is known is that these GLCs have a free rein and incurred gargantuan borrows outside the officail limits of the Government Budget because these GLCs are off-Budget or provide a loop-hole to escape scrutiny. Besides of not being monitored by the owner which is the Government, these GLCs are managed by Civil Servants with no business experience, accountability and ownership with salaries ranging from RM 1 Million to RM 10 Millions per annum.
Lest we forget. These unmonitored GLCs are spread over three huge financial Empires of the Government since 2004 eg. The Khazanah Empire, the 1MDB Empire, the Hodge Podge Empire of Bank Negara Malaysia, EPF, Tabung Haji, Exim Bank, Felda Global Ventures, etc and the Malaysian banks.
In 1997, only one listed Group and RM 15 Billioms were purported to be in jeopardy.
In 2015, ALL the three financial Empires are affected or in jeopardy with a humongous debt of ONE TRILLION RINGGITS DEBT INCURRED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE ALLEGED 100 GLCS WHICH ARE WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN. A momentous situation created by only a handful of individuals.
On the one hand, we have the Government aping the late Dictator and his GLCs but eschewed his micro-management of the Singaporean GLCs which did not incurr huge loans without permission. On the other, we find our Government’s close relationship with Singapore is being jeopardised by THE ONE TRILLION RINGGITS DEBT WHICH MAY GO AWRY AT ANYTIME. So far so good !
Secondly, the late Dictator created the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in 1966. The veteran syce permitted the whimsical and fake born again Christians to replace the retired mahogany skin front line troops of old to bleat their African inspired songs and drums. But the dream of taking over Putrajaya felled to the ground this week together with the rising crisis of 1MDB when the Opposition AXIS of PKR-DAP-PAS broke up in disarray with everyone licking their wounds and talking bad about each other.
These two significant events are connected to the late Dictator’s (1959-2015) heart strings who was known to do whatever to knuckle our beloved Malaysia to the ground in his earnest pursuit of control of the leadership nexus of our beloved Malaysia.
In June 2009, with Obama’s TPPA support in his pocket and at the age of 85, the Dictator traipsed into the Ulus of Malaysia to exhort his troops, cohorts, digits, spies, tycoons, fellow-travellers of MCA, his favourite State of Kelantan which Singapore surreptiusly support in logging and other field activities, etc. He even had tea out of fine English porcelain in some KL salons. All for the sake of the poisoned chalice TPPA ! Thereafter, like a faithful serf. our beloved Malaysia was involved in 19 rounds of very secret negotiations with Singapore by her side and did not inform the Dewan Rakyat. Acheh !
Vide. Wikileaks and the UMNO owned NSTP Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8, 2014. Spies galore for the TPPA.
The two pronged significant events which were dear to the Dictator’s heart have failed. MAN PROPOSES GOD DISPOSES.

The good news tonight is as reported by Reuters, ‘ Fast track trade bill derailed in House in blow to Obama.’
This bill concerns the cunning Dictator (1959-2015) inspired, created and promoted Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement which if signed by Malaysia would have spelt the death knell of the Malays like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. For the non-Malays a fate worse than death because they had no power to sign their own death warrant.
I am concerned about this Lee Kuan Yew’s creation of the TPPA which is just a bludgeon to knock down the tariff barriers of Malaysia to provide a LIEBENSRAUM for the flood of goods from Singapore to come immediately after the signing by Malaysia.
The goods will have the impact of closing down all the Malaysian owned factories and businesses which in turn release thousands of unemployed workers into the streets. Both the owners and workers will blame the BN Government which will fall at the next General Election.
Our Malay compatriots should be doing all sorts of businesses without the TPPA in conjunction with their non-Malay counterparts. But if the TPPA is in operation, the non-Malays would be forced to be distributors of goods (middlemen) flowing into Malaysia from Singapore as was the situation in colonial times. The whole Malaysian population would revert back to a consumer society of foreign goods. This is the sort of situation which successive Governments before 2003, have been trying to obviate fairly and squarely. This fact is one of my objections to the TPPA which only offers a pie in the sky type of inducement for Malaysia. In reality, Malaysia exports petroleum and palm oil for sale in open markets. All the factories in the FTZ are foreign owned.
For those who are not aware of the history of the TPPA, here is a summary :-
When the Cold War ended in 1989, the Singapore elites were caught with their pants down especially when Uncle Sam came up with the hegemonic slogan, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ All these three objectives were anathema to the traditional commercial activities of Singapore which made huge profits during the Cold War years like money laundering, arms trading, smuggling, breaking Myanmar sanctions, salvaging Vietnam War scrap etc. Suddenly, a uni-polar World became multi-polar from 1990 and onwards. Only the BRICS benefitted. By the crash of the DOT.COM caper, Singapore was in deep trouble resulting in unemployment within the first 2 years of the 21st Century – about 400,000 were out of work. There was a recession. The Singapore GDP never recovered to this day and languished at about 3% annually.
The Singaporean elites were in a dilemma with the smartest fellow on top of the pyramidal heap of dysfunctional meritocrats aka apparatchiks. Eventually, after much resistance, two casino licences were awarded for short term gains and a longer term concept the TPPA was launched in 2006.
The legal minded Dictator took care that an International Trade Arbitration Tribunal was established in Singapore in 2005 with the expectation that the Malaysians would turn up with regular irregularity as their expected faux pas in the 100 volumes TPP Agreement. The cunning Dictator had legal successes in his tussles with these Malaysians in the past beginning with the 1962 Water Agreement. That was his wishful thinking.
The TPPA was launched in 2006. It was a pure Singapore show. Only Brunei, New Zealand and Chile joined. Uncle Sam had better things to do.
After the Crash of October 2008, Uncle Sam was grasping at any straw which floated in the huge ocean of financial turmoil. America became a sponsor of the cunning Dictator’s TPPA which he inveigled later in line with America’s declared Policy to contain China in the Pacific. The TPPA does not benefit the workers of the United States. The NAFTA of over a decade ago did not deliver in the interests of the American workers on the one hand and on the other, some Mexican farm onwers suffered. This is the main reason why Obama’s own Democrats voted against him in Congress tonight.
It puzzled me why the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew traipsed into the Ulus of our beloved Malaysia in June 2009 at the age of 85 exhorting his troops, the cohorts, the digits, the spies, the tycoons, the camp-followers in MCA and drank tea out of fine English porcelain in some KL salons etc. Now I know the answer. HE HAD OBAMA’S SUPPORT FOR HIS TPPA IN HIS POCKET. Hence, while he was smiling to his Malaysian minions, he had this deadly weapon energised by the US of A in his pocket to do them in without their knowledge. Smart.
Thereafter, our Malaysian Government embarked on 19 rounds of very secret TPPA negotiations from 2009 until these were exposed in 2013. This was the main reason why the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) traipsed into Malaysia so that our Malaysian Government took part in 19 rounds of very secret TPPA negotiations without the Dewan Rakyat knowledge. He did not visit Malaysia for fun and games.
This is a short summary of the Dictator’s inspired, created and promoted TPPA which actually only benefits Singapore and not America because Singapore is just a whisper away from us. The other 10 members are thousands of miles away. And the ultimate target of Singapore’s subjugation is our beloved Malaysia which becomes a slave state of Singapore. Singapore lives. Malaysia dies if Malaysia signs the TPPA.
After signing the TPPA, our beloved Malaysia will have just 11 friends (the TPPA members) out of at least 200 before signing.

Lest we forget that our present unnecessary political conundrums arose out of the machinations of the Dictator (1959-2015) through the decades. I would put the blame of today’s 1MDB nonsense squarely on his shoulders. His poisoned chalice, the TPPA for our beloved Malaysia and what we cherish is still stuck half-way in our throats. There is no way that his creation of the political System of Singapore today eg. the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System as imposed on the citizens by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats, can escape the fate of all the failed Dictatorships after the departure of the Dictators as recorded in history e.g. Hitler, Mussolini,Franco, Stalin, Mao, Tito, Castro, Ho Chi-minh etc. His System is also known as the Singapore Model, authoritarian capitalism, benign dictatorship ( no such thing )or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas. If at all, the Dictator’s cruel and uncompromising Political System has already gone toxic.

I do not understand why some Malaysians of sound mind and body can worship a Dictator and conman Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015) wih a brilliant law degree from Cambrdige for two generations. Now, facts are slowly unravelling the deceit and the cruelty without compassion what he had wrought on the citizens of Singapore and cunningly through the poisoned chalice TPPA on the Rakyat of Malaysia. The poor is completely ignored to bolster the Holy Grail of GDP. He mustered every tool in the Government’s power to subjugate the powerless and the poor through fleecing legally their money through Government controlled organs. His unique System for himself the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System began to fail concomitantly with his failing health. No Dictatorial System has ever beaten the life span of its Dictator. This is already confirmed with the import of 2,000 pigs from Sarawak shortly after his death in addition to the daily total of 5,000 non-Malaysian pigs.

From my independent observations, I have always maintained that you are one of the World’s Great Statesmen. I finaaly got an independent confirmation by a well-known Indian journalist, T.J.S. George in a quote from his blogpost, June 2011, courtesy of Jess C Scott Blog.
” The West has spread the impression that Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew is Asia’s outstanding economic miracle man while Malaysia’s Mahathir as a cantankerous ogre, hater of white people, and dictator to boot. Both are dressed up portraits. What makes Mahathir special is that while pursuing economic progress, he never lost sight of the larger picture of human values. That cannot be said of Lee Kuan Yew and certainly not of Indonesia’s Suharto or Thailand’s Thaksin Shinawatra.”
According to Jess C Scott Review of T.J.S.George’s 1973 book, ” Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore.”, the author was able to fathom the real character of Lee Kuan Yew in his early years in power.

At this time and age, there are still some Malaysian politicians who do not realise what political System the Dictator Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015)created for the citizens of Singapore to further his hold on power and his self-glorification. Our Malaysian politicians do not realize that Lee Kuan Yew with his out-of-date brilliant Law degree from Cambridge could con two generations of insiders and outsiders through the skilful use of the laws as created by him and brainwashed all and sundry whilst his policies were imposed on the citizens by Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats.
Just today, a Malaysian politician with no self-esteem admired the brain-power of Lee Kuan Yew the Dictator. This fellow does not realise that IF YOU ARE A DICTATOR YOU DO NOT NEED BRAIN POWER. YOU NEED A GUN ! Prime examples in history were Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Stalin, Castro, Tito etc. ALL THESE DICTATORS DID NOT GO TO UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. BUT THEY HAD THE GUN ! By talking without thinking, he did not realise the POWER COMES FROM THE BARREL OF A GUN ! This is why the Dictator’s (1959-2015)has to create a humongous military manned by foreign mercenaries to keep his power and control for fear of losing these to others. His excuse was always to defend himself against his neighbours who only love to play 19 holes of golf.
Like all Dictatorships, the Singaporean political System has already failed. Hence, the TPPA was promoted as an ICU to attempt to lengthen the Dictatorship. This will not succeed as corruption will now come out in the open in Singapore. For example, it was announced this week that an additional 2,000 pigs will be imported daily from Sarawak after Singapore banned Malaysian pigs for 18 years as the siblings were alleged to be in the business.
And in Malaysia, we have many people smarter than the Dictator like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who created 3 million famillies of the Malay Middle Income Group without strife or rancour, which up-lifted the 3 million famillies of the non-Malay Middle Income Group through the purchase of the goods and services of the latter by the former. During this same period, the Dictator (1959-2015)screwed down the indigenous population of Singapore from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. And 300,000 of his supporters emigrated. Vide. Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.

It is imperative that all Bloggers are kept informed by true facts concerning the genesis and methodology of the late Ruler (1959-2015) or Dictator who succeeded in conning the insiders and outsiders for two generations. Here is another source for interested Bloggers to enlighten themselves with the truth.

NB. My relative, Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too, the most Senior Adviser on Counter-insurgency to the Federal Government told me that Lee Kuan Yew did not know what to do with the Leftists in 1962. The Tunku sent C.C. Too as his emissary to meet Lee Kuan Yew and untie the Gordian Knot in the presence of Georg Bogaars, the Commissioner of Police. This resulted in the Operation Coldstore. This vital meeting was never mentioned by Lee Kuan Yew anywhere. After his retirement, C.C. Too wrote to Lee Kuan Yew for recognition for contribution to this signal event. His letter was never acknowledged. It was Tun Musa Hitam who did the needful by recommmending the Federal Government to award C.C. Too the Tansriship. For this, C.C. Too is forever grateful.

For Daniel Noor. On your comment that Singapore is good because it has ‘Guided Democracy’ which in fact the Ruler (1959-2015) or Dictator imposed the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System on the hapless citizens enforced by his Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats. As a Dictator, he implemented 38 Failed Policies which now bring poverty and impoverishment to his citizens amidst a sea of plenty of money. How sad ? Whereas our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had none throughout his 22 year Administration but 2 or 3 scandals created by his closest aides who abused his trust in them. One of them collects Stradivarius violins at US$ 5 Millions a piece which he lends to the Singapore Philharmonic but not to the KL Philharmonic. This is gratitude for you and me.

The 38th Policy Failure of the late Ruler (1959-2015) springs to mind with the huge deposits of Malaysian money of indeterminate origin and the purchase of Singaporean penthouses at top prices by an individual of no standing whois also the subject of public controversy in Malaysia. There is no doubt that Singapore practises double standards as regards its Failed Policy on money laundering. I can confirm this as a fact.
In June 2007, one Saturday morning, I banked in a cheque of US$ 107,000 drawn on New York. The cheque was accepted at the counter of the main OCBC branch at Chulia Street. The following Monday morning, I received a call from the bank that they could not service my cheque. Soon after, I turned up at the banking counter and asked the Counter Manager why my cheque was refused by OCBC even though I had been a customer of the bank for decades and knew all the chairmen personally. Further, I pointed out that the cheque from a Trust was signed by a sibling of the Ruler (1959-2015). She just looked at me blankly and said nothing. I thought I saw a fleeting glint of fear in her eyes.
And now, we read that billions and billions of ringgits of indeterminate Malaysian origin are stashed by an individual of no standing in Singapore. He even had the cheek to purchase hundreds of millions Singapore dollars worth of penthouses without any official reaction. Surely, this must signal the decline and fall of the Roman Empire ! This is corruption at its finest !
The list of Failed Policies of the late Ruler (1959-2015) has reached 38 !

With all due respect, I have been saying for years that the titanic financial scandals in recent years in Malaysia and Singapore were caused by the closest aides or known as eunuchs in ancient China. The 1MDB incurred RM 42 Billions alone, again the RM 51.23 Billions loss spread out over 22 years, the World’s single largest loss by a country, Singapore, US$ 108 Billions (RM 420 Billions) during the present Prime Minister’s time with the Ruler(1959-2015) by his side on Wall Street in October 2008.
We do not expect the Presidents, the Prime Ministers, the Rulers or Emperors to lift up the phone to buy and to sell. They all relied on the closest aides or eunuchs. Good eunuchs made the Kingdom flourished. Bad eunuch caused the downfall of Dynasties through greed and treachery. Therefore, for reasons best known to themselves why they did not alert their patrons can only be answered to requisite questions as required of them. But in all cases, they hid behind the trousers of their patrons in each scandal and tried to make themselves invisible. The patrons took the blame. In the case of Singapore, the citizens either understood the reason why there was such a huge loss or speechless out of fear in a repressive regime.
In the case of 1 MDB, the closest aide has a duty and responsibility to come out of the closet to provide the answers to all the questions brought up by the Rakyat. Even though we the Malaysians are polite and courteous, we are not stupid. They all want to know how RM 42 Billions of ringgits could move with swiftness between the continents on their own and can even be in Singapore with its double standards in money laundering. Vide My Comment. Remember Seet of the DBS-Vickers fame – a purported sibling of the ruling Dynasty !
A good example is the foreign closest aide in KL who abused his patron’s trust that he could now collect Stradivarius violins at US$ 5 Millions a piece which he on-lent to the Singapore Philharmonic but not the KL Philharmonic. This is gratitude for you and me.

In June 2007, I presented a cheque of US$ 107,000 drawn on New York to the OCBC Singapore for clearance. A few days later, I was told the bank refused to service it. I asked the Counter Manager what was the reason for the refusal. I reminded her that I was a customer of the bank for many years and was a friend of all the bank’s chairmen. She just looked at me blankly even though I told her that a sibling of the Ruler (1959-2015) signed the cheque. A few days later, a news item appeared in the Singapore Business Times that sometimes certain bank customers could be inconvenienced by the new regulations against money laundering.
Now, we read in the media every day that billions of US Dollars of indeterminate Malaysian origin are deposited in Singapore including the key figure of no standing purchasing hundreds of millions Singapore Dollars worth of penthouses without arousing any official attention. I did not know that Singapore practises double standards in money laundering until now !
In October 2008, Singapore officially lost US$ 108 Billions (RM 420 Billions) on Wall Street. Vide Channelnewasia Lee Kuan Yew November 2008.

Here is another independent reflection by a Singaporean on the plight of the ordinary citizen who make up 99.99% of the indigenous population. It must be understood that Singapore without the importation of 1.2 millions FTs, and the billionaires with 800,000 PRs cannot have a sustainable GDP of 3%. The proud refrain of punching above their weight is no longer applicable. It is more like being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Tun,
With all due respect your Blog has now become a treasure trove of information on the important current affairs of Malaysia. The data on LKY is without peer. It pays for the ardent student of this controversial figure to study the facts contain herein. With your kind permission I present the list of his 37 Policies failures again for the refreshment of our regulars and the fresh and enthusiastic Bloggers who have just found the finest Blog in the Blogsphere.
The 37 Policy Failures of Lee Kuan Yew (1959-2015)
1. Money was used to buy out Thaksin so that the Isthmus of Kra Canal is not built. Inadvertently, this resulted in the deaths of innocent men, women and children, and injuries to thousands. 2 coup d’tat landed on the Ruler’s face. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy of the 1970s and the 1980s caused thousands of abortions and sterilizations. The Policy was imposed by fiscal methods. Absurdly, the Policy made its toll on only 1.6 millions with the exception of the old and the young.
3. The loss of US$ 108 Billions of the CPF Trust money by the Apparatchik aka Meritocrats with the smartest fellow on top.
4. Humanity and Multi-culturalism not practised.. Vide The Curry Smell Tribunal ; the 188 bus drivers strike ; the toilet fights. etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over.. Vide. Dr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw – if the Police stopped at one, he would not have been trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl ! German, Aussie, Malaysian drug mules etc. The ex-Chief Justice appears in the Festschrift to the Boss together with the ex-President, the politicians and civil servants.’The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ This confirms that there is no separation of the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary. Corruption ?
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. Who imports them ? The flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank. etc. etc.
7. A World class transportation not established. Vide Manobhani.
8. The failure to manage foreign workers. Vide. The Little India Riots. The Rex cinemas sit in. Fake degrees caper. etc.
9. Spy networks established in friendly countries and the information passed to third parties. Vide. Wikileaks.
10. An apparent full-fledged military of 300,000 active reservists, hard-core foreign mercenaries to man the F-35s, Apaches, Hercules, AWACS, drones, humongous balloons, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, long range artillery, secret caverns, strategic S$ 2 Billions water reserve, bomb-proofed buildings, bomb disposal squads, spies complete with swallows, ducks, journalists, tycoons, academics, etc deployed in friendly countries.
11. The failure of the DAP as founded by the retreating PAP in 1966 (after their ignonimous defeat by our Tunku) was unable to make in-roads in the Malaysian political arena.
12. The Policy to use proxies to dominate Malaysia.
13. The Policy to use the Singapore inspired and created TPPA to finish off Malaysia by the little ant riding the donkey strategy so that Singapore lives.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Hong Kong has 99.9% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 Millions FTs to boost the GDP together with foreign billionaires. In reality, the 99% of the indigenous populace suffer as the wealth is lop-sided.
16. The Meritocratic System which was used to rule the 99.99% was dismantled in 2013. Two Ministers announced that academic qualifications alone will not be considered for jobs or promotions. But hiddlen talents will be considered as well.
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World Vide. Warren Buffet.
18. The emigration of 300,000 supporters of the Ruler (1959-2015). During the same period, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad created without rancour or strife 3 milllon famillies of the Malay Middle Income Group which up-lifted the 3 million famillies non-Malay Middle Income Group by the purchases of the goods and services of the latter by the former.
19. The Spy System to collect information on everyone. The threat is now World Wide.
20. The legal use of the CPF money without due regard to the wishes and rights of the contributors.
21. The Policy for Singapore Inc. to descend to the level of the hoi-polloi to invest in all sorts of shares when other options would have been a better investment like gold.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals. It is forgotten that athletes have expiry dates.
23. The late Ruler (1959-2015) had been in power since 1959. Only the Thai King beats him.
24. The failure of the Policies of the Singapore Government since 1965.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, the Singapore Government Adviser, 1961-1984, provided and supervised the success of the infra-structural development of Singapore, i.e. the glittering buildings etc. On the other, the human resource development was left to the Ruler (1959-2015) who screwed down the indigenous population 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010 leaving Singapore with a permanent demographic void. No commonsense.
26. The Money Grab Policy failed due to its rejection by the citizens. In the early 1980s, a rich young tycoon was sent round the schools to lecture to the schoolchildren that it was good to be greedy.
27. The Profiteering Policy which iinvolves the Temasek Holdings, the GIC, the CPF, the HDB and all the Public Utilities and entities which handle money Vide. The Singapore Medical Journal, Ngiam Tong Dow. September 2013.
28. The failure of the CLOB on the KLSE/SGX to avoid being cast out of the Malaysian financial system in 2000. The CLOB was used like a yo-yo by the highly organised digits or cohorts to suck Malaysian money out of the system through exhortations via the media or hearsay. It was good while it lasted.
29. Nantah and the Chinese Vernacular Schools were wiped out by the early 1970s. The Ruler later expressed some remorse to the visiting Chinese.
30. The Ruler’s (1959-2015) personal creation of the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens by the Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats has gone toxic. It is also known as the Singapore Model or the authoritarian capitalism or benign dictatorship (no such thing) or rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas. Russia and China adopted it so that they can climb down the greasy Communist pole of no return. In September 2013, Russian awarded an academic medal to the Ruler with 4 other academics. In 1992, Deng Xiao Peng commented, ‘ They administer well. But we will do better than them.’ Russia has the oligarchs, China the princelings and Singapore, the siblings.
31. The Policy to use INSEAS as a brainwashing platform for young and up-coming UMNO aspirants. A glowing report would appear in the Straits Times the following morning which lavished praises on these young and unsuspecting minds – the time bombs for Malaysia. Who were in the Straits Times then ?
32. The Policy to discard the sovereignty and sanctity of Singapore Inc.since 2003 and invest commonly with the rest of the World’s hoi-polloi at great risk.
33. The Policy to have a confetti of published works to praise the Boss sky high culminating in the Festschrift ‘ The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’
34 The Policy to establish 2 casinos has ended in failure.
35. The Policy to re-pay tycoons for their loyalty by purchasing their assets above market values.
36. The Pollicy to base everything on the GDP to raise the profile of Singapore by punching above its weight led to the present suffering of 99.99% of the population.
37. The complete failure in the separation between the Executive, the Legislature, and the Judiciary. This is confirmed vividly in the book, ‘ The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew ‘ in which in this Festschrift to the Boss, the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the Civil Servants and the Politicians all queued up to salaam to the Boss. It is confirmed in print. A mockery of Democracy which did not stand up to the test of time !

Maybe it is timely to consider once again the strategic geo-political position of our beloved Malaysia. As a person who respects your awareness and understanding of this subject which is serious and abiding, I have brought this important subject matter in my previous comments. How many of us realise that Malaysia is so important in anyone’s strategic consideration of its position in South East Asia and East and West Asia because of its commanding position in both the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean with the choke point in the Straits of Melaka.
In a uni-polar World during the time of the late Ruler (1959-2015) some credence might be attributed to the importance of the tiny isle of Singapore with his bluffology and his endearment to Washington DC. This downgraded the importance of the Peninsula of West Malaysia and the two important entities of the Federation namely Sabah and Sarawak. But in the multi-polar Word of today and not of yesterday, we not only see but also have to deal with Nations big and small from around the World.
Not long ago I also mentioned that our KL has replaced Bangkok and Singapore as spy centres which these were during the Cold War. This happening is entirely circumstantial due to our naivety, friendliness and hospitality compounding our porous borders of thousands of kilometres around us.
Malaysia stands with important nations like India and countries associated with the rise of Islam to the West and our age-old powerful neighbours to the East, China, Japan and South Korea. And the whole scenario is dominated by the one and only super-power the United States.
How should we deal with the outside World within this context of World power rivalry ? What have got to make us tick efficiently like a Swiss watch in the face of dealing with foreigners far smarter than us ?
As always, let us look back in history to only the recent 1950s. It is alleged the KGB came to town soon after our Merdeka and scouted around for our foreign Policy. They could not find it and assumed that it was carefully hidden which they reported accordingly to Moscow. Later, the Soviet Ambassador presented his credentials and met our beloved Tunku. His Excellency congratulated the Tunku on how well Malaya kept her secrets. The Tunku replied to the astonisment of the Ambassador, ‘ Your Excellency, we have none !’
That was in the middle of the Cold War which ended suddenly in 1989. From this point onwards the World gradually moved into a multi-polar mode with Pax America’s ‘ Globalizatin, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ which Uncle Sam hoped would extend its world hegemony. But this was not to be so because of the release of human energy which exploited this slogan through freedom to do more in the huge countries of Russia, China and India. Here lies the rub. And with this the importance of Singapore as a useful outpost of Western capitalism in a safe part of Asia diminished as time went by until 2015. Singapore became irrelevant or redundant in this mult-polar World if we look back again in history.
In 1941-42, it was the Japanese Imperial Army which drew the line in the sand. The Japanese recognised the historical fact that Singapore is useless without its hinterland Malaya. The British should have known better as it was they who established Singapore to exploit the Malayan Peninsula. But they forgot. And they lost the whole lot without a fight.
The late Ruler (1959-2015) was aware of this historical fact which is reflected in his thinking and actions the whole life-long. What do all these historical facts tell us ?
That the tiny isle of Singapore especially with the passing of the Ruler (1959-2015) have become irrelevant and relegated to a lesser place in the sun behind Malaysia by the strategic thinkers of the interested Powers. Therefore, willy-nilly without us so much as realising the strategic geo-political importance of our country, we may find ourselves one day embroiled in the struggles between Powers which have nothing to do with us.
What to do ? It is time we take a leaf from how small nations become important in implementing adroitness in their Foreign Policy. Switzerland springs to my mind.
Switzerland became a confederation more than 800 years ago. Its 4 tribes, the Germans, French, Italians and the Romansch still make snide remarks behind each others backs. The point is that it is neutral in deaing with all countries under the sun. This is the result of the Roman legionnaires trampling over its hallowed territories 2,000 years ago and deserted to the high Alps and became the Romansch tribe. Then, the mythical William Tell became history dealing with the cruel Austrian Prince. But the last most important event of all was Hitler’s military had free access through Switzerland to Italy and France during World War 2. The Swiss just grinned and bear it. We may say it was neutrality at its very best.
How do all these facts concern Malaysia’s Foreign Policy ? From the explosive revelations of Wikileaks which revealed Malaysians were spied upon by the late Ruler (1959-2015) to what we read in the media eg. South China Sea, Sea and Land Silk Road, 19 hole golf. Singapore inspired poisoned chalice TPPA , POTA etc. it is timely we marshall all our public resources to deal with the outside World. As the ancients said,’ You must have harmony at home before you can fight and win in the streets.’ Why ?
It is crystal clear even as we read the available media that our beloved Malaysia is no longer the dull and boring place of the 20th Century. Other nations are making our beloved Malaysia a lively place especially with the downgrading of Singapore in international eyes from its former importance. Because of this new turn in events. whether we like it or not, we are here to stay on this Planet. We might as well become astute and wise and go with the flow. Maybe now we need an Oracle in KL with a just vacant position.
Our best Policy is to have no Foreign Policy like in the early days after Merdeka in a clearly defined uni-polar World. And we should be friends to all and sundry in this multi-polar World of the 21st Century within our parameters of SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST AND SELF-ESTEEM and be aware of Greeks bearing gifts like the Singaporean Trojan Horse TPPA !

In a pro-Oppostion Blog today, ‘ TPPA. Let’s sign up and progress not regress. RAMON NAVARATNAM.’
Many people do not seem to understand the meaning of the Singapore inspired poisoned chalice for Malaysia, the TPPA which arose out of the deep dilemma of the dysfunctional Apparatchiks aka Meritocrats of the late Ruler (1959-2015). These experts were caught napping. How ?
The soviet Union suddenly imploded in 1989. 2 years later the United States came up with Pax America’s ‘ World Globaization, Free Trade and Human Rights.’ to extend its hegemony around the globe. The tiny Republic of Singapore under the iron fist of the late Ruler (1959-2015) had a wonderful time and GDPs up to this point in a uni-polar World in which she could collect war scrap in Vietnam and turn into gold or sell goods to sanctioned countries like Burma, or become a huge arms trader in the non-communist World. All these including the soft-arms trade came home to roost in a multi-polar World with the entry of Russia and China into the World’s open market.
At this point the confident and exuberant late Ruler (1959-2015) retired to a small extent and elevated himself to be the Senior Mentor.
Fast trek to the 21st Century, again suddenly the tiny Republic found itself grappling with propping up its economy with falling employment rates which had 400,000 unemployed by 2002. The very first time ever. The great Dictator was in a flap taking note of the fact that he himself have been caught with his pants down in a multi-polar World and not a uni-polar World of the past when all he had to do was to fly to Washington DC to see the Boss in the White House and to talk sweet and have lunch and talk bad about our beloved Malaysia and all would have been well. After all, if we are not Communists, we must be Captialists. In those black and white days, Dictators were OK and there were dozens of them rooting for Uncle Sam.
However, in the multi-polar World post-the Soviet Union, only Russia, China and India benefitted since 1990 because of their huge human resources and logistics to turn economic values to their advantage.
By 2000, and the aftermath of the DOT.COM crash, the tiny Republic which was used to its old ways of trade buccaneering was at a loss of what to do. With much head cracking amongst the dysfunctional Apparatchiks aka Meritocratics, 2 singular ideas surfaced.
1. A Scheme to pry open the closed Tariff doors of its hinterland Malaysia – its natural LIEBENSRAUM.
2. The issuance of 2 casino licences (against strong resistance) which is the quickest way to create some sort of stimulus into the moribund Singaporean economy. This lasted only 2 years – 2006 – 2008. The casinos have now failed. The Government is now dickering with a GDP of 3% and had given up on the GDP quietly like China.
The Singapore creation and inspired TPPA took off in 2006. But as the Ruler (1959-2015) had a fine legal mind, he did not forget to set-up The International Centre for Arbitration in 2005 in full anticipation for chaps like the Malaysians who are always careless to cross the t’s and dot the i’s.
At its inception in 2006, the Singapore inspired TPPA attracted on Brunei, New Zealand and Chile as its sole un-spoken purpose was to pry open the Tariff doors of Malaysia cunningly and insidiously. From the Singapore end, it is perfectly normal as this gives full access to her goods. From the Malaysian side, IT IS THE DEATH KNELL FOR ALL OUR MALAYSIAN OWNED FACTORIES AND BUSINESSES CREATING HUGE UNEMPLOYMENT DUE TO THE FLOOD OF GOODS FROM SINGAPORE OVERNIGHT.
This Singapore inspired TPPA did not get the support of Uncle Sam until after the horrific Crash of October 2008. Thereafterm Uncle Sam grasped at any straw to stay afloat in the huge oceanic financial turmoil We now have the ant riding the Democratic Donkey.
Logically, with so many Trade Agreements already and all the other Countries are thousands of miles away but Singapore which is only a whisper from our shores, the SOLE BENEFICIARY IS SINGAPORE for the dumping of goods of all origins into Malaysia. And Malaysia has only 2 main commodities to sell – petroleum and palm oil. All the factories in our FTZs are owned by foreigners.
The signing of the Singapore inspired TPPA will bring the downfall of the BN Government because what is offered is something ephemeral like a pie in the sky and Malaysia receives is real – the immediate dumping of tax free goods. The steel industry is already suffering in this respect. All will create angry factory owners and unemployed workers by the thousands who would not be BN friendly – a game changer. These are the traditional supporters of the BN.
Hence, the Singapore inspired poisoned chalice TPPA will turn our traditional and proud inhabitants of our beloved Malaysia, the Malays like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. For the non-Malays, a fate worse than death because they had no power to sign their own death warrant. Stupid.
And on the pro-Opposition Blog headline, if you read the article, you get a sense of urgency hectoring the innocent and the naive to sign quickly so as not to miss an OPPORTUNITY. But Sir, we are serious and sincere people who do not gamble on OPPORTUNITIES like gamblers or speculators. The DECISION MUST BE A POLITICAL INITIATIVE WITHIN THE CONCEPT OF SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST AND SELF-ESTEEM. No paid Consultancy Unit of any kind can put a finger on the merits or demerits of such a SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE WHICH INTENTION IS TO DISMEMBER US ALL THE MALAYSIANS AND THEIR HERITAGE.
The article is full of jingoism and emotive phrases which are better served in a political flyer. In other words, it is completely hollow and devoid of facts but full of hearsay serving some sinister hand.
And interestingly the author is alleged to be connected with a Malaysian corporate entity which has or had the SINGAPORE RENOWN GIC AS ITS MAJOR SHAREHOLDER.
IF THIS IS NOT SHEER OR RAW CONFLICT OF INTERESTS BETWEEN NATIONS, WHAT IS ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! It is time loyal Malaysians learn that there is ONLY ONE BELOVED MALAYSIA AND NOT THAT ONE ACROSS THE JOHOR STRAITS. Pour le vous Francais ?

Whatever the cynics and the hard-core types say, the difference between you, a Great Statesman and a Malay as compared with the Ruler (1959-2015) is this. You have the 3 Golden Attributes to be a Leader eg
1. Commonsense
2. The Ability to Think out of the Box
3. Compassion.
The Ruler had none of these Attributes and created common gardern glittering buildings which we can also find in Malaysia, Jakarta, Bangkok, Manila, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. His achievement is hollow and devoid of Humanity.
The nub is your creation of the 3 Million Malay Family Middle Income Group which up-lifted the 3 Million Non-Malay Family Middle Income Group by way of the purchases of the former from the latter’s goods and services within the ambit of our Free Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalistic Characteristics as opposed to the Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the citizens through Aparatchiks a.k.a Meritocrats.
Your creation can only be done through Compassion for the Rakyat. Within the same context, the Ruler (1959-2015) screwed down the indigenous Singaporean from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. 300,000 of his middle class supporters emigrated to achieve glorification for himself only.

For all Bloggers. At last the World has woken up to the Ruler’s (1959-2015) fables and foibles during his long reign – the Cambridge graduate who conned his own people and the World for 2 generations. China and Russia benefitted from his Godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System so that they could climb down from the high slippery pole of failed Communism. This Singapore Model will fail too in time as we are now observing in Singapore. Here is something of interest :-

Unbiased and factual reporting on the recent demise of the Ruler (1959-2015) comes from the Nikkei Asian Review and The Economist London eg verboten words like ‘ authoritarian capitalism a.k.a Godless Ultra Communistic System ‘ or ‘ repression.’
For those who are interested in the Singapore inspired TPPA the poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia, here is the latest report from the Nikkei Asian Review which mentioned that both the right and left wings of the American political spectrum are up in arms over the proposed TPPA. How a little red ant ridinig the donkey the mascot of the American Democrats could create such an up-roar in America and not a squeak from Singapore’s intended victim which is our beloved Malaysia, is indeed a mystery to me ?
With the signing of the TPPA, Malaysia dies together with its 58 year old Merdeka. No more. No less.

I certainly do not wish to give our fellow and distinguished Bloggers here the impression that I am anti-Singapore or anything like that. I am not anii-Singapore or any other country in the World.
I am against the cunning Policies of the Ruler (1959-2015) arising from his vanity and megalomania based entirely on his 1947 legal brilliance at Cambridge. All his efforts for glory or whatever have now come home to roost.
Our beloved Malaysia took many hits on the chin when this tiny island claimed to hit above its weight eg. the cross-border smuggling, the financing of the destruction of Kelantanese forests, the CLOB, sharp business practices, etc.- you name it, they have done it illegally outside the jurisdiction of Singapore. These acts we have so far tolerated.
BUT OUR MERDEKA – THE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE ESPECIALLY THE SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA – The poisoned chalice to kill off our Merdeka and our beloved Malaysia so that the tiny isle of Singapore survives and the cunning Ruler’s (1959-2015) legacy survives.
WE SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN SUCH NONSENSE WHICH IS NOT TO OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S RAKYAT INTERESTS.
And here is a claim from an entirely independent source : AUSTRALIA. SINGAPORE IS ROBBING US BLIND.

Just as Hudud had united PAS and UMNO in Kelantan.
We urge PAS and the ULAMAs to mobilise and mass demonstration all over the country (with Permits of course). Call all citizens PAS, UMNO and neutral supports to STRONGLY OPPOSE THE TPPA SO WE WILL NOT GADAI OUR COUNTRY TO OTHERS.

On my comment on the killing off of our Merdeka by the Singapore inspired TPPA, I am indeed surprised at the deterioration of our rulers belief in our ‘SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST AND SELF-ESTEEM.’ The deleterious effects of aping the MONEY MONEY MONEY failed Policies of the Ruler (1959-2015) which have come home to roost in Singapore, are for all to see – that is if they want to see beyond the glittering towers of the tiny island and not to only look.
China has thrown the emphasis on GDP out of the window in favour of a more compassionate policy in dealing with its humongous populace. Singapore has done the same quietly. To be chained to the crystal ball of the GDP is no longer an option in a world of great inequality in wealth and longevity in age.
Are our folks in KL still relying on their calculations on the GDP and hence in future the Singapore inspired TPPA is expected to help out in this respect ? This is day-dreaming to say the least when our MERDEKA has been given away scott-free. And we all have died by the signing of the Singapore TPPA which we willingly committed hara-kiri in a once proud Nation of Tanah Melayu of the Malays. Remember the Malay heroes and stalwarts against the Malayan Union of 1946 ? Don’t remember ? It must be the wonderful life-style which was created by our distinguished Prime Ministers from 1957 to 2015 !
AND WE WILLINGLY WITH OUR MINDS AND EYES OPENED GIVE AWAY OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE OF ALL PEOPLE TO THE CUNNING RULER (1959-2015).
I have said many a time that there is a penchant for our beloved Malaysia to give away ocean rocks, petroleum blocks, railway lines, Khazanah treasures, etc for free with no inkling of the impact and consequences. I had compared this zany activities of our beloved Malaysia to like selling our grand-mothers down river for free. All other countries will fight to the death to safe-guard their territories including tny Singapore. SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST AND SELF-ESTEEM.
What inspired me to write on the Singapore TPPA today is the report on Page 16 of The Edge headline
‘ IF THE IPO IS OFF, WILL THE 1MDB GET BACK THE US $1 BILLION IT PAID AABAR ? On the same token,
IF THE SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA IS SIGNED, WILL OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA GET BACK THE MERDEKA – our freedom and independence – WHICH WAS GIVEN TO SINGAPORE FOR FREE ?
The loss of hundreds of billions of US dollars by the Government we can bear – AND TREAT THE LOSS AS A LESSON IN EXPERIENCE OR TUITION FEES.
BUT CAN WE BEAR THE LOSS OF OUR MERDEKA SINCE 1957 AND BE ENSLAVED AGAIN BY THIS CUNNING RULER (1959-2015) using all sorts of strategies and tactics INCLUDING THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP TO SAY ‘ NO TO TPPA ‘ TO TRICK OUR BN GOVERNMENT TO SAY ‘ YES ‘ ? This Chinese trick is part of the 36 Steps of Ancient Chinese guile passed down for 5,000 years of history. I did not know these 36 steps until I was 40 and of all places in Singapore !
On Wikileaks and its expose’ on the tricky and spying ways of the Godless Ultra Communistic Systetm of Singapore – after the end of the Cold War, all the spies in the World were turned into spying into the political and socio-economic activities of target couintries. In the case of Singapore, its main effort is Malaysia – TO MAKE IT EASY TO PLUCK THE RIPENED FRUIT like using the Singapore inspired TPPA to do so.
I have menitioned the UMNO owned naive, friendly and hospitable NSTP so many times that it is appropriate for me to explain its true meaning via Wikileaks. Vide. NSTP Streets Central Page 8. March 8 2014. This page shows personalities who ARE IN CONFLICT OF NATIONAL INTERESTS eg high-ranking Civil Servants and foreign Government accreditted journalists or businessmen. All those fellows who had their heads chopped off by ISIS claimed to be journalists or aid workers. Of course, I condem such brutal acts. In Malaysia, we humanely put them into colour pictures. Spying by Singapore on us is not about the sexual peccadiloes of full-blooded Malaysians. It is MONEY, MONEY, MONEY CONNECTED WITH THE SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA and at our expense of giving up our Merdeka, freedom and independence to be enslaved by the cunning Ruler (1959-2015) – Cambridge educated, of course ! Take your choice please, Ladies & Gentlemen !
And why did I use the word, ‘ ZANY ‘ ? I think it is a more polite way than saying ‘ BEYOND THE PALE ‘ which meaning is found in the Oxford Dictionary.
MALAYSIA BOLEH WITHOUT THE TPPA ! MALAYS BOLEH WITHOUT THE TPPA ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH WITHOUT THE TPPA !
WHY ? BECAUSE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND ITS RULING GOVERNMENT DO NOT GAIN A SINGLE SEN IN ALL THESE DEALINGS. We lose so much that our Foreign Reserves are now seen to be falling in a World sloshing with QE money !
Tun
First, I like to express my appreciaition of Sibotak’s true comments on the precious land of our beloved Malaysia and his succint observation on the mistakes of the Ruler (1959-2015) with the feet of clay – at the last count he made 33 policies mistakes. Sibotak’s comments are within the ambit of our SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, AND SELF-ESTEEM.’ No one should rule over us Malaysians without bearing this in mind.
Secondly, there was a report in the media yesterday that our Government is going ahead with the signing of the Singapore inspired TPPA in April 2015 and the Treaty will come into operation by year’s end.
I have always said this is the greatest folly ever committed by ourselves if we are really to get hitched up with this Singapore inspired TPPA. Taking cognizance of the fact that after the end of the Cold War in 1989, the dysfunctional elites of Singapore were left high and dry by the 21st Century. Unemployment hit them hard and the fabulous GDP felled from grace. These events forced these smart fellows to come up with the 2 casinos after much heart-searchiing and strong resistance, and the infamous TPPA tailored made to open wide the tariff gates of our beloved Malaysia. The 2 casinos have failed.
The Singapore inspired TPPA was launched with hardly any support. Only Brunei, Chile and New Zealand joined. Like things Singapore, an International Arbitration Centre was set up in 2005 in anticipation of more business to come of the legal kind. The Ruler (1959-2015) being a brilliant in the laws. The United States was not interested in 2006. But after the Crash of October 2008, the United States was interested at anything which resembled a straw in the ocean of international financial turmoit. And by June 2009, with the support of the United States safely in his pocket, the Ruler (1959-2015) made his ill-advised sojourn into the Ulus to visit his digits and cohorts at the age of 85 to prepare them for the days to come when they would rule our beloved Malaysia on his/Singapore’s behalf.
The Ruler (1959-2015) forgot in his usual vain personality that his unique GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS THROUGH APPARATCHIKS would become toxic in the forthcoming years. And this is indeed what has happened.
The Ruler (1959-2015) obsession with the creation of MONEY MONEY MONEY has led to great angst, dissatisfaction and unhapiness amongst the indigenous populace which now acutely feel that all the policies and promises of the PAP were weighed against them. Just one question, ‘ How many of us can go to Oxbridge or the Ivy League universities ?’ AND IF THESE GRADUATES RETURN, CAN THEY FIT INTO THE ROUGH AND TOUGH ENIVIRONMENT OF AN EMERGING COUNTRY ? It is only an excuse to enslave the people with Meritocrats a.k.a. Apparatchiks.
Apart from the exhaustive studies by 2 Indian experts from UNCTAD and the Asian Development Bank which put the huge disadvantage to our beloved Malaysia in detail, there is no reason for our Government to plunge headlong into something unknown and untested at the present time. It is wiser for our Government with a great measure of wisdom to hold back for a while and join later if it so wishes. What is the haste in signing this toxic Singapore inspired TPPA ? I see the following :-
1 IF THE PURPOSE OF SIGNING THIS SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA IS POLITICAL, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
2. IF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS JOINING THIS SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF OUR SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM, then I have something to say.
a) Malaysia is not that industrialised as it is made out to be by some vested interests. I was involved in industry on both sides of the Causeway since the 1960s. All the FTZ industries are owned by foreigners.
We have nothing to offer by way of manufactured goods made by Malaysians apart from the small ticket items. No sane person should sign away his/her future on some pie in the sky temptation especially when the negotiations of the TPPA have been cloaked in secrecy or recommended by some consultants. If the latter are so good, they would be the rulers themselves back home. How to fathom the nationalistic and the traditional values of a Nation in just a few weeks ? Who pays the Piper calls the tune ?
b) This is the nub. This is the most destructive element of the Singapore inspired TPPA. There is no doubt that Singapore will gain much in monetary terms through the wide opened doors of Malaysia via the TPPA. THE ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC AFFIRMATION BY THE RULING BN GOVERNMENT FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME WILL BE DESTROYED THE MOMENT THE TPPA IS SIGNED as Singapore is just next door. Goods will flow in promptly.
Socio-economically, all Malaysians return to the Stone Age of Colonialism. All become simple traders in the buying and selling of imported foreign goods from Singapore’s main Agents which hold the franchise for this Region. We benefit from handouts.
THE MOST RIDICULOUS ACT IS THAT WE NOW HAVE OUR FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE SINCE 1957 AND WITH THE TPPA WE HAND BACK ALL THESE AND MORE, OUR HARDWORK WILLINGLY TO THE GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SINGAPORE (with a real population of only 4 Millions) and become a colony of Singapore which will SUCCEED IN EXPANDING HER LIEBENSRAUM ! But will Singapore’s political system survive ?
I have observed many zany things in our beloved Malaysia since 2003.
BUT THE PROPOSED PARTICIPATION OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IN THE SINGAPORE INSPIRED TPPA BEATS THEM ALL. IT IS ZANY. We give away our precious Merdeka and willingly become slaves again of all people, the Ruler (1959-2015) with NO HOPE OF MERDEKA ANYMORE.
This is not about getting or printing more and more MONEY MONEY MONEY. It is about turning our beloved Malaysia into a truly free and independent Nation which manufactures goods to sell to the World. This our beloved Tun understands very much. It is about giving our workers better wages and life-style through working in better and better factories. THIS NOT ABOUT MAKING OUR FELLOW CITIZENS HAULING THE THE IMPORTED GOODS FROM SINGAPORE ON THEIR SWEATY BACKS UNDER THE HOT MID-DAY SUN.
I was very surprised that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP kept on saying ‘ NO TO THE TPPA’. This is just a ploy to TRICK the BN Government to say, ” YES TO THE TPPA.” because the DAP has through the years observed that the Government says ‘No’ when the DAP says, ‘Yes’ and vice versa. In fact, as reported in the Press, this has become the NORM for the Government to say ‘Yes’ to any objection of any kind.
WHAT A SUPER TRICK TO TRICK THE BN GOVERNMENT TO SAY YES TO THE TPPA WITH NO RACIAL CONNOTATION !
This TPPA is one of the most effective tool to bring down the BN Government because it hits at the sinews of traditional support for the Government via the factories owners and businesses generally and the employess which will be gravely affected and blame the BN Government – JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEXT 14TH GENERAL ELECTIONS IN 2018 !
FINALLY, MALAYSIA IS NOT LED BY THE BRILLIANT LEGAL MIND OF THE RULER (1959-2015) TO CRAFT LEGAL DOCUMENTS LIKE THE TPPA IN OUR UTMOST FAVOUR. WE ARE CERTAIN TO BE UP-STAGED BY THE SINGAPOREAN APPARATCHIKS WHO HAVE PUBLISHED A BOOK ON HOW SMART THEY ARE LEGALLY SPEAKING. I hope there will NEVER BE ANOTHER BOOK BY THEM.
As I said before the moment the TPPA is signed, the Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays are worse. They had no power to sign. AND ALL HAND BACK THE MERDEKA TO A FAILED GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC STATE WILLINGLY in the belief that we ALL WILL MAKE A LOT OF MONEY MONEY MONEY at a moment when our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS is seen to survive and Singapore’s GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM HAS BECOME TOXIC.
Please see what MONEY MONEY MONEY DID TO SINGAPURA ! Within 25 years, WITHOUT THE TPPA, Singapore has only 4 Options to survive to consider.
1. To become the 53rd State of the Union.
2. To become a British Colony again.
3. To re-meerge with Malaysia
4. To maintain status quo.

I am certain that some of my friends on this Blog expect me to produce another Comment from the squeaky clean Republic of Singapore which is now known internationally as ‘THE RICH CUBA WITHOUT THE HAVANAS BUT THE BANANAS.’
For TeohBengHock654 or HBT456 from the Ministry of Information, Singapore, do you remember the ex-Police Driver Gordon who used to work for the Police Officer brother of the Big Boss or Ruler (1959-2015) ? Here is another real and factual comment from Gordon.
In one of the monthly trips which I used to make to Singapore in the early 1980s, I was getting curious about the security aspects between Singapore and Johor Baru because the Ruler (1959-2015) raise an outcry in Malaysia by saying some undiplomatic words about Johor Baru. He claimed Johor Baru had the crimes. This is an overstatement of sorts as I perceived what had happened over the years previous to the 1980s.
It is alleged that Singapore had only about 4,000 registered gangsters in 1972. Presumably, the gangster population of Singapore declined to about 2,000 by the early 1980s. Hence, the Singapore Police force is quite small comparative to the size of the population, about 4,000 which were augmented by the NS and Police auxillaries. Government control was established by the early 1970s.
Then, a beautiful idea struck the elites. Why not get these Singaporean wannabees to check into JB every morning and check-out at the end of the day or night ? Like this, Singapore would be crime-free without the gangsters 24 hours of the day. Indeed, with unofficial backing, the week-ends in JB are roiled with more guests from Singapore who hired bungalows or condos or hotel rooms to engage in book-making activities especially when the Singapore Turf Club races were on. With all these nefarious activities imported from the squeaky clean Republic of Singapore, JB soon attained a reputation of sorts. With this social background, I asked the Singapore Police ex-driver for the Ruler’s (1959-2015) police officer driver who was ferrying me around in Singapore.
‘Gordon, you ferried so many tourists around Singapore Island, I am sure you took them across to JB as well. As far as I know it is now a red-hot place.’ I asked. Gordon replied, ‘ Sir, I did take them to JB quite often.’ I could not quite contain my next query, ‘ And where did you take them when they got worked up by all those red-hot JB entertainment ?’ He retorted, ‘ I rushed them back to Singapore !’ was his stoic reply. I was surprised at his prompt reply and could not help by expressing, ‘ Why are you so cruel, Gordon ferrying them back to Singapore through the Causeway losing precious time ?’ Gordon replied with a straight face, ‘ So that I get a bigger commission !’ As an ex-policeman with connections to the Ruler (1959-2015) via his Police Officer brother, Gordon knew all the by-ways and high-ways of squeaky clean Singapore to get the best deal. It is a small small World. This is a true and factual story.

Specially for TeohBengHock654 or HBT456. If you remember about Gordon, the ex-police driver of the Singapore Police Force for the senior officer who was the brother of the Singapore’s Big Boss, I told one episode of my interesting encounter with him. Little did I know that I was being under surveillance by hiring a limousine recommended to me by the blue-chip company, complete with drivers from the Singapore Police Force. It was a good thing I was not faulted unlike others. Here is a real and factual story by Gordon for you HBT456 or TeohBengHock654.
At the end of one day in the 1980s, I asked Gordon, the ex-police driver who ferried his superior’s friends to his mess using the police car, ‘ Gordon, what did your passengers ask of you at the end of the day ?’ He replied without hesitation,’ Sir, the Mat Sallehs were very direct. They just asked me to get a companion for them.’ ‘What about the Japanese ?’ ‘ Sir, the Japanese were very shy. I had to ask them, ‘ Sirs, you worked very hard today, do you need any company tonight ?’ The Japanese would answer,’ Yes ! Yes ! Yes ! ‘. I continued, ‘ What about the others ?’ He screwed up his face and answered, ‘ Sir, that is the trouble. No Singaporean girl would like to go out with them !’.
Those were the days when the tiny and balmy Republic of Singapore was clean and squeaky. Internationally, it is now known as ‘ RICH CUBA WITHOUT THE HAVANAS BUT THE BANANAS. ‘ Thanks to the iimported multi-billionaires !

Now that all our distinguished Bloggers and good fellow Malaysians have been worked up over the sexual pecadilloes of the ‘squeaky clean’ Singaporeans who always wear whiter than white shirts, it is time I furnish one true story of these unique people.
One fine morning, I received a phone call from the younger sibling of the Ruler (1959-2015) who was an ex-police officer. Over the phone, I could hear his stern voice, ‘ Ask your younger sibling not to bring young girls to the Balmoral Park flats. It is not proper for such older men to do so.’ Then, he rang off with any exchange of pleasantries. I knew my sibling was doing his thing in Singapore. But as I am not the moral police, I did nothing. At that time, I did not realize the peculiar GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE RULER (1959-2015) THROUGH THE APPARATCHIKS until 2014 when the glaring facts hit me in the face !.
Fast trek to a year or so later in the 1980s. I used to travel down to Singapore to attend the Board Meetings of a blue-chip company. I hired a chauffeur driven limouisine as a matter of convenience. One day I chatted up the driver Gordon. I asked, ‘ Gordon, what did you do previously.’ He replied,’ I was a police sergeant.’ Immediately, I had thoughts running through my head whether I had done anything which could be used against me in the future. I came to the conclusion that I could not be faulted. Then it dawned on me that the company which furnished me with the vehicle was Government owned. Nevertheless, with the realization of the facts having been revealed by just one question, I was curious to go further on. I asked Gordon again, ‘Gordon, what sort of work did you do in the Police force.’ He promptly replied, ‘ I was a driver.’ ‘ Oh ! ‘ I exclaimed and said, ‘ A driver for whom ?’ Gordon then gestured to the sky with the index finger of his left hand and said, ‘ You know that big fella’s brother !’ I retorted ‘ What big fella ?’ pretending not to know. Eventually, I said, ‘ You mean the Big Boss.’ ‘ Yes !’ Gordon agreed with a nod of his head. My curiosity fully aroused. I asked the pertinent question, ‘ And what did you do for the big fella’s brother, Gordon ?’ ‘ I sometimes ferried his friends to his mess in the police car.’ This was Gordon’s honest reply. This is a true story and its a small, small World.
I always mentioned to my friends that in Malaysia, we are all either related or very good friends. We cannot runaway very far from each other !

It is good, very good that our Bloggers want more information on SEET the alleged hard-core PAP cadre who is related to the Ruler (1959-2015) of RICH CUBA WITHOUT THE HAVANAS BUT THE BANANAS !
How is this very young and unprofessional SEET but professional playmate related to the Ruler (1959-2015) ? It is alleged that the Ruler’s (1959-2015) mother’s sister married a SEET. This very young guy who handles top secret Malaysian Rakyat’s hard-earned is the grand-son. The other clue is he had the privilege of being in the DBS, the preserve for the siblings of the PAP elite ! There is no nepotism or cronyism in RICH CUBA !
The sprawling family of siblings of the Ruler (1959-2015) had their traditional family gathering in the Lunar New Year a few days ago without the Ruler (1959-2015) who was absent since his wife’s illness. and later demise. This gathering of siblings were initiated by the Ruler (1959-2015) many years ago. The intention was to keep tabs on the whole lot of siblings so that there are no scandals in RICH CUBA. But humankind is humankind, one of the siblings had a close companion ensconced in a small falt in Bukit Tunku (Kenny Hill), Kuala Lumpur. Siblings are encouraged to create or to leave their scandals outside the RICH CUBA !
It is allleged that high ranking civil servants go to Taiwan and low ranking ones to Bangkok to satiate their desires. This is again confirmation of the godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System practices unlike our full-blooded Malaysians who do their thing anywhere, anyhow even in RICH CUBA ! Acheh !

If this is really so, then, we have as a soliid confirmation that a hard-core PAP cadre is embedded in a secret Malaysian private outfit handling the Rakyat’s money which belongs to the Government of Malaysia and the Rakyat. Billions of ringgits are involved. And what about the spying on the sexual peccadilloes of our full-blooded Malaysians who happened to be prominent and important ? Vide. the UMNO owned NSTP Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014. Dotted with spies all over in technicolour !
As the international wisecracks cracked, ‘ Russia has the oligarachs. China has the princelings. Singapore the rich Cuba has the siblings.’
We now see the unfolding farcical plot mismanaged by VERY YOUNG AND UNPROFESSIONAL AMATEURS involving the best of the Rakyat’s money as though it is their money !

For the enquiring pundits who need details on my previous comment on MONEY MONEY MONEY IN THE RICH CUBA WITHOUT THE HAVANAS BUT THE BANANAS, it is only possible to pull over the citizens’ eyes by the Ruler (1959-2015) through brainwashing from 1959-2015. Yet the Singaporeans are slowing awakening due to the high cost of living and lack of good jobs. Part of the brainwashing was to compare how good the tiny isle of Singapore was and that the fellows here have a propensity to go running around the hot and humid streets of Kuala Lumpur etc. This was before the Little India riots.
The Scheme to suck up all monies from the citizens of Singapore can only be achieved through the GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM THROUGH APPARATCHIKS. Also, by impoverishing the citizens of money, there is no will to resist or revolt. They became docile and pliant like now.
THE WHOLE SCHEME IS CONTROLLED AND MICRO-MANAGED BY THE RULER (1959-2015). Who controls this vast citizens wealth after the Dynasty fades is the $64,000 question ?
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADOPT THE FAILED MONEY MONEY MONEY SCHEMES OF THE RULER (1959-2015) IN OUR FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISITC CHARACTERISTICS. We have our checks and balances being a Democracy. As it is now, scandals after scandals are popped up revealing all involved – this is Democracy with no suppression of information or comments unlike the RICH CUBA.
I hope this explains.

When it comes to MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, it is no longer a ‘Squeaky Clean Singapore’. It is a ‘RICH CUBA WITHOUT THE HAVANAS BUT THE BANANAS.’
As most of us have noted, the MONEY, MONEY, MONEY Policies of the Ruler (1959-2015) – 33 failed ones- came home to roost with the Crash of October 2008.
Everyday, the citizens are thinking about their CPF Trust money which some quarters claim DO NOT BELONG TO THEM ! In other words, loans were taken legally out of the CPF for the Government to make or to lose in risky investments as have been shown in history. THROUGH THESE MEANS THERE IS AN EMPIRE OF BUSINESS CONTROLLED BY THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT but micro-managd by the Ruler (1959-2015).
In our beloved Malaysia, it is a free for all and the Devil takes the hindmost as it is said. Who cares about billions and billions of ringgits flying around the World like the Flying Dutchman. Who cares ?
We have copied cat this crass or scam scheme from the Ruler (1959-2015) with the 33 failed Policies – the Khazanah, 1MDB and the Felda GV.
In the case of Singapore, a wide range of activities seem to revolve around the key entities. But in Malaysia, we do not seem to be bothered with the niceties of the corporate market place like observing standards, the rule of law, conflict of interests, ethics, propriety, probity, ownership, accountability, etc. The guys just moved the MONEY MONEY MONEY direct from A TO B IN BIG DOLLOPS. And these guys and gals are still wet behind the ears and might need a pacifier in times of crisis like now.
Strangely, not only are these guys and gals of so tender an age, they seem to be in a hurry (BEFORE THE AGE OF 30) to make good and deliberately hide their tracks UNDER THE GLARE OF THE LATEST MONITORS IN THE MOVEMENT OF LAUNDRY MONEY PRODUCED BY THE BIGGEST LAUNDRY MACHINE IN THE WORLD MANUFACTURED BY MALAYSIA BOLEH WITHOUT REALISING IT !
I thought the MARX BROTHERS WERE LONG GONE. But destiny has it that our beloved Malaysia has now taken up the cudgels of those ingenious types who built up Hollywood. The attraction is still the glamour, sex and money and a whiff of that nice but noxious substance served openly at cocktails. History repeats itself – WHAT THE RAKYAT’S MONEY CAN BUY !
AND TO KEEP THE UNFOLDING FARCICAL PLOT INTERESTING IT IS ALLEGED THE GUY NAME SEET IS A RELATION (on the maternal side) OF THE LONGEST RULING FAMILY IN THE WORLD NEXT TO THE ROYAL THAI KING ! An Abang Adek scenario with or without the spying. Vide Wikileaks.

A Political System must be the most important in the governance of our body politic and the Nation. This must be by right and deliberation to safeguard of our Constitution in a Free Democratic Society llike ours.
Yes ! We practise the FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS. Unitl last year, 2014, not many were aware that our System is truly democratic and free as compared with the many such systems in the World of rising terrorist activities.
The interesting observation of the Ruler (1959-2015) and his godless ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS THROUGH APPARATCHIKS which is now known in international circles as the RICH CUBA, (no longer ‘squeaky clean’) is that he was aligned with the Communists and the Fajar Generation from 1955 to 1962. In 1962, Operation Coldstore put all the Communists in jail on the advice of our beloved Tunku through his emissary Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too, the highest ranking Chinese Adviser on Counter-Insurgency in the Federal Government. The Ruler (1959-2015) by the 21st Century has turned a once socialist Singapore into a RICH CUBA.
Can the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which is a creature of the PAP and founded by the retreating PAP in 1966 after their ignominous defeat by our beloved Tunku, be considered being for our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALISITIC CHARACTERISTICS ? The heavy fingerprints of the Ruler (1959-2015) is all over the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. Not only this, the intent of doing nothing and yet the DAP did everything to disrupt the stability peace and harmony as promoted by our tested and reliable political System and not to serve our national development and interest. It naturally follows to ask :-
How the very rich PKR and the very good PAS both of which support and believe in the FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS CAPITALISITC CHARACTERISTICS go to bed with the RULER’S (1959-2015) godless ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM THROUGH APPARATCHIKS as reperesented by its adjunct the DAP ? Is this due to the intense obfuscation of their naive, hospitalble and friendly Malaysian minds by the Ruler’s (1959-2015) humongous Ministry of Information, Singapore abetted by super duper foreigners who are alleged to control the World ? It seems this is a good time to do some soul-searching by the compromised innocents in this Year of the Ram, Sheep or Goat !
Our beloved Malaysia Political System has been cleverly used by the Ruler (1859-2015) in his quest to conquer or dominate us through willing proxies as we can see in the triumvirate of the Opposition with the Free Democrats cast in a dream. It is time for them to wake up from Rip Van Winkle land which is Singapore. His specialty is to rub the important digits the right way whatever the desires for power, money or other temporal material things. Lo and behold ! These compromised innocents felled on to his lap, like the ‘low hanging fruits’ of recent years.
Also, it must be remembered that there are no friends in politics only Allies !
BUT WITH THE STARK REALISATION THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S FREE DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SYSTEM AS COMPARED WITH THE RULER’S (1959-2015) GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM is as different as chalk and cheese, we Malaysians can stand proud and indefatigable in the face of any foreign meddling to break-up our hard won and hard built Society since 1957 – like the Singapore inspired TPPA and promoted by the brainwashed digits !
In this respect we must not or ever forget our Prime Ministers 1957 – 2015 who had all contributed much to the success, the sustainability and the viabilty of our FREE DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL SYSTEM IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.

Strange as it may seem, the balmy squeaky clean tiny Republic of Singapore has finally achieved a WORLD’S FIRST. This tropical isle which is so fond of being No. 1 in Asia and No. 2 in the World next to the United States has now achieved the most desirable status for its long lists of First in Asia and Second to the United States – IT IS NOW THE MOST EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET.
For the aficionados of details, the tropical isle has had this expensive title since 2013.
And I had always thought of Paris as being very expensive and also Tokyo where I had a hair-cut which cost US $20 in 1967 ! But I am wrong in comparison with the statistics as presented by the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) of London and disseminated through the BBCTV. The list of the most expensive cities are the following top 5 in the World :-
1. SINGAPORE
2. PARIS
3. OSLO
4. ZURICH
5. SYDNEY.
It is astonishing to note that Singapore which has the godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System as compared with the Free Democratic societies in the other 4, has become the World’s most expensive given the fact that it has no 4 seasons to incurr extra expenditure on clothes and fuel.
Furthermore, a plate of chicken rice cost S$ 18 more than 5 years ago. This common fare should be nearer S$ 30 by now. I have never visited Singapore since 2009 as the items pertaining to my interests are all available in Kuala Lumpur at much lower costs.
Where has all the money which was extracted from the citizens gone ? To sustain the huge Disnelyand the size of the Isle of Wight ? To maintain the apparent huge defense spending plus the Lend-Lease arrangements for the expensive military hardware ? To create an artificial ‘feel good feeling’ amongst the populace especially the 0.01% elite which own homes worth S$25 – 50 millions a piece ? These assumptions must have been based on an ever growing GDP of 7% year after year in keeping with a concomitant rise in wages and incomes plus a friendly inflation rate of 2-3% ! But for a tiny isle how to juggle all the unexpected imponderables all the time which are influenced externally in a World of constant financial turmoil ?
Has the brown grass of Hong Lim Park aka Hong Lim Green turned green yet ? For us the naive friendly and hospitable Malaysians with the brainwashed minds (Thanks to the Ruler 1959-2015), we, especially the Chinese, always think that the grass is greener in the most expensive place on the Planet which is Singapore !
For a foreigner, any foreigner for that matter, the honey trap lies in the godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on everyone by the Ruler 1959-2015 through his Apparatchiks bolstered by the CPF-HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Water Conservation Tax-Free Subsidised Malaysian Water-Traffic Taxes-Public Utilities-Civil Service-Judiciary-the foreign manned Military etc.
Naive multi-billionaires who are good at making their billions of US Dollars are blind-sided by the super-duper brainwashing machine otherwise known as the humongous Ministry of Information, Singapore. Whilst there is no mugging at midnight anywhere in Singapore, there are other means of legalised ‘mugging’ which are conducted willingly and happily throughout the 24 hours of the day and night. The billionaires of the World must surely know the dictum, ‘ THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH ESPECIALLY IN THE RULER’S (1959-2015) SINGAPORE.’
And as confirmed by ex-Singaporean expatriate, the World famous guru (who now resides in Hong Kong, the World’s best place to do business), Mark Mobius when he was asked by Angie Lau from Bloomberg. He said, ‘ The China and Singapore Command Investment Model is efficient. The United States’ democratic model has its checks and balances being a democracy.’
And recently, President Obama when asked by Fareed Zakaria of CNN said, ‘ Some of our authoritarian allies do not stand up to our test of democracy and human rights.’
In the case of the tiny Republic of Singapore which has not produced an indigenous multi-billionaire since 1959, the MONEY MONEY MONEY EQUATION OF WEALTH DO NOT BALANCE !

For Karl. It is good to know that a fellow Blogger understands the facts on the Ruler 1959 – 2015 which I have presented on this distinguished Blog since September 2011. After so many decades at the receiving end of the poisonous gas called bluffology as crafted and emanated from the humoungous Ministry of Information, Singapore and at a time when our morale was at an all time low, I was determined to act and present the facts in the national interest.
I have been a student of the Singaporeans and later the Ruler 1959 – 2015 since 1954. I was amused by these over-confident types who turned up at my Alma Mater bristling with wisecracks and loaded with Queen scholarships. But they eventually failed because I found they had no sustainability and succumbed to failures of their own making. This led to my interesting meeting with the Ruler 1959 – 2015 for the only time in my life. Our Association hosted a dinner for him and he was leaning on the bar with a long beer in his hands – expensively dressed in a tuxedo. I was in my crumpled Burton suit. He asked,’ Are you George’s brother ?’ I replied, ‘ Yes !’ And that was the end of the conversation. He was part of the David Marshall delegation to Whitehall in 1956 for the talks of establishing the self-governing Colony of Singapore.
Fast trek to the present shows the Ruler’s (1959 – 2015) 33 failed Policies for Singapore. At the end of the day, we have a Singapore which is split into halve because these Policies were money money money based without an iota of compassion as their substance. It was the form that mattered with the firm belief that those who attended Oxbridge or the Ivy League arre born to rule. In this context, where do the 99.99% of the populace stand ? This recipe for disaster as it can be discern now with a beautiful hindsight applied to a small population on a tiny isle can only explode with all sorts of unseen consequences – as it is slowly happening now. In a democracy, it is the votes that count – not the money.
The absolute of power which the Ruler 1959 – 2015 had, is the cause of the failure of his 33 failed Policies. This is the human factor which is linked with the development of human resources during 1959 – 2015. There was no progress here at all. 300,000 milddle class emigrated to show their displeasure.
I first observed the absence of the human factor (compassion) in Singapore in 1992 – the year when the Singapore Government promoted ‘fine arts for fine living’ for the very first time. With so many rich people in Singapore, I expected that there would have been a large group supporting this vital aspect of a civilised society. To my astonishment, there was hardly any interest in the fine arts – it was all money money money and nothing for the soul – a real cultural desert in a tiny isle. The objects of the nouveau riche like diamonds, branded goods, fine cuisine etc were the order of the day. Sounds familiar is’nt this ?
With the intense focus on money money money, the Ruler 1959 – 2015 with his absolute powers blinded sided himself with the apparent success of the construction of glittering towers which dot all over Singapore. But where are the earthy and worthy real Singaporeans to enjoy all the good works ? None except for the ubiquitous foreigner who roams everywhere. This a a serious failing in the consideration of options when the city-state was at its planning stage years and years ago. The opportunity has now gone forever.
A great success in infra-structural development but a great failure in human resource development.
And the Ruler’s (1959 – 2015) lack of understanding of the Malays caused him to lose a lot of goodwill. His character of being self-centered, arrogant and vindictive forms a barrier between the majority and himself. His vanity knows no bounds which dates from his brilliance in law at Cambridge in 1947. Since then, he never threw away all his books like us when we departed the portals. He kept them all. He never changed when the rest of the World changed. As a result, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, he led all the Singaporeans up a pole – a country with one of the highest standard of living in the World. Yet, the Swiss standard is still far from reach. How to come down from this greasy and high pole of no return ?
On Malaysia, the Ruler 1959 – 2015 could sweep all the listed gangsters into Johor Baru by the early 1980s – about 3,000 – 4000 of them. He could have gained much more in all areas if he had taken a normal stance of which it is not his character. And Malaysia would have been dominated by crafty means. Fortunately, despite of the fact that the Ruler 1959 – 2015 wanted to re-establish his roots as a Hakka (and not a Straits Chinese or baba and nonya which he really is as his parents were as Straits Chinese as cincalok) he failed as he has not got the customs and the culture of the Chinese inside him. To this end, the humongous Ministry of Information is most active in the Wikipedia. Solid Hainanese like the Soong sisters of Chiang Kai Shek’s China were turned into Hakkas. Once despised Tan Kah Kee was resurrected as a Singaporean hero in the same Wikipedia. The Ruler 1959 – 2015 just loved to micro-manage everything and left no stone unturned.
It was alleged that he would roam the highways and by-ways of Singapore at midnight in his luxurious Jaguar to micro-manage the choice of Bouganvilleas and the placement of the flower-pots in the right places along important intersections. It is all for show !
Hence, when our Government signs the 100 volumes of legal documents concerning the Singaporean inspired TPPA, we begin as non-starters (the favourite word of lawyers). We are up against a brilliant legal mind who loved to dot the i’s and cross the t’s and placed the Devil in the fine print to kill us. The Malays will be like the North American Red Indians, They signed. They died without a whimper. For the non-Malays, it is a fate worse than death because they had no power to sign !
Finally, let us not forget that our beloved Malaysia has been losing human resources, rocks, sand, water, territories, money, assets etc since 2004. Up to 2009, nearly a trillion ringgits flowed South. These precious assets have been trickling out every day without a pause with increasing intensity due to the lop-sided watershed of supply and demand in present day Malaysia. Other countries will die for a piece of disputed territory but we give ours away for free. But our only hope is that future circumstances might change in our favour !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Salam Tun.
I’m happy, and hope you’re doing fine sir, to read Mubarakchan’s new comments after a long pause. It’s a wealth of information that forewarns us Malaysian of the rotten things being done by the PAP in Spore which if Malaysians are not made aware of, we will suffer a similar fate when DAP comes to power in 2018.
The citizens savings in our EPF/KWSP/Tabung Haji must not fall into the same trap like what happened to the CPF of Spore. Historically, Tabung Haji has had a good portion of their funds blown to bits as in the Metrowangsa case, gaming in the spot market.
It is worrying enough to know that 1MDB is a copycat of GIC/Temasek in the way it is run and managed with neither transparency nor accountability. Amazingly, the TPPA is also similarly shrouded with secrecy and centers around the island republic. Perhaps ‘ignorance is bliss’ will be the selling point when all have agreed to join the club. What you dont know, will not hurt you. Not yet.
The fact that suggestions have been made to siphon out public funds for 1MDB to bail out its clandestine investments overseas is an indication that the whole charade is fast fading. I do not think that Malaysia can afford a similar USD108 BILLION losses like what the Spore sovereign wealth fund did to their CPF. We would have to crawl for decades if it happens to us. Imagine the EPF/KWSP full withdrawal only eligible when you reach the over-ripe age of 65 years old … many claims will be heard over the graveyard!

An Addendum to the 33 Policy Failures of the Ruler 1959 – 2015 is an apt description, ‘ BEAUTIFUL TO SEE BUT NOTHING ELSE UNDERNEATH THE SKIN.’ or ‘ IT IS ALL FORM BUT NO SUBSTANCE.’ The creature which is created by the Ruler 1959 – 2015, deeply reflects his VANITY.

A screaming headline from the well-respeccted Financial Times of London today, ‘ FOUNDER’S LEGACY LOOMS OVER SINGAPORE – A palpable sense of dissatisfaction exists among the island nation citizens.’
I had refrained from making any comment on the Ruler’s (1959 – 2015) ill-health.
But I could not refrain anymore after reading all the dissatisfied comments from his own citizens every day who have now divided themselves into 2 distinct camps – those who love him and those who hate him ; those who think he is alive and those who think he is dead ; those who gave him undeserved credit of founding Singapore after Raffles in 1812 and those who gave credit to Dr Alfred Winsemius, the dedicated UN Dutch economist who was Adviser to the Singapore Government from 1961 to 1984.
Whatever the emotions or feelings of the good citizens of the balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore today, there is no running away from the 33 failed Policies arising from his ‘BIG IDEAS’ of a lifetime of a ONE RULER GOVERNMENT ! These are the facts. The imposition of the godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System which now exists and implemented by Apparatchiks or meritocrats is the final nail to the door of the pantheon of the greats from which he is barred from entering due to his MONEY MONEY MONEY policies applied on a small isle of hapless citizenry.
During this balmy period, Malaysia with her Free Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalistic Characteristics freely and democratically elected 6 Prime Ministers. All of whom except the present incumbent have retired willingly and courteously without prompting.
And the 33 failed Policies of the Ruler 1959 – 2015 are as follows :-
1. Money was used to buy-out Thaksin which resulted in the deaths and injuries to hundreds of innocent Thai men, women and children. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy in the 1970s and the 1980s caused thousands of abortions and sterilizations. This led to the huge demographic vacuum today.
3. The loss of US$ 108 billions of the CPF Trust money by the dysfunctional Apparatchik or meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top.
4. Humanity and Multi-culturalism not practised. Vide. The Curry Smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike . The toilet fights etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well known the World over. Vide Mr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. Dr Wolfers Wu. Shaw – if the police stopped at 1, he would not have been in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl ! German, Malaysian and Aussie drug mules. etc. The ex-Chief Justice appears in the Festschrift to the Boss together with the ex-President and the politicians and civil servants. ” The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.”
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. The flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank, etc.etc.
7. A World class transportation system not established but the taxi system is. Vide Mahubani.
8. The failure to manage foreign workers. Vide. The Little India riots. The Rex cinemas sit-in etc.
9. Spy networks established in friendly countries and the information passed on to third parties. Vide. Wikileaks.
10. An apparent full-fleged military of 300,000 active reservists, hard-core foreign mercenaries to fly or to fight, F-35s, Apaches, Hercules, AWACS, drones, humongous balloons, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, long range artillery, secret caverns, strategic S$ 2 billions water reserve, bomb-proofed buildigs, spies complete with swallows, ducks, journalists, tycoons, academics etc. in friendly countries.
11. The failure of the DAP as founded by the retreating PAP in 1966 but only to further negative objectives.
12. The Policy to dominate Malaysia by the use of proxies.
13. The Policy to use the TPPA which is Singapore created, by the riding the back of the US to finish off Malaysia but sustain the survival of Singapore.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Vide. Hong Kong MRT has 99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 million foreigners to boost the GDP and call this World Class.
16. The Meritocratic or Apparatchik System which was used to impose the 0.01% elite rule, was dis-mantled in 2013 by 2 Ministerial announcemnts which stressed that academic qualifications alone are not sufficient for jobs or promotions.
17. The highes paid Ministers in the World. Vide. Warren Buffet.
18. The emigration of 300,000 members of the middle class which supports the Ruler 1959 – 2015.
19. The System to collect information on everyone since 1972. The danger is now World-wide.
20. The legal use of the CPF’s Trust money without due consideration to the rights and aspirations of the contributors.
21. The Policy for Singapore Inc. to descend to the level whereby CPF Trust money is used to invest in risky investments around the globe when gold would have been a better option.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals.
23. The Ruler 1959 – 2015 has been in power since 1959. Only the Thai King beats him.
24. The failure of the policies of the Singapore Government since 1965.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, the Singapore Government Adviser, 1961-1984, provided and supervised the success of the infra-structural development of Singapore. On the other, the human resource development which was left to the Ruler 1959 – 2015, had its indigenous population of 100% in 1959 screwed down to 62% in 2011 leaving Singapore with a huge demographic void.
26. The Money Grab Policy failed due to its rejection by the citizens. In the early 1980s, a young tycoon was sent round the schools to lecture to the school children that it was good to be greedy. Vide Singapore Business Times.
27. The Profiteering Policy which involves the Temasek Holdings, the GIC, the CPF, the HDB, and all the Public Utilities and entities which handle money. Vide. The Singapore Medical Journal. Ngiam Tong Dow. September 2013.
28. The failure of CLOB on the KLSE/SGX to avoid being cast out of the Malaysian financial system in 2000.
The CLOB was used like a yo-yo by the highly organised digits or cohorts to suck Malaysian money out of the system through exhortations via the media etc. It was good while it lasted.
29. Nantah and the Chinese Vernacular schools System were wiped out by the early 1970s. The Ruler 1959 – 2015 later expressed some regrets.
30. The godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System which is imposed on the citizens by the Apparatchiks as created by the Ruler 1959 – 2015, is copied by Russia and China. The former awarded the Ruler 1959-2015 with an academic medal together with 4 other academics. The latter’s Deng Xiao Peng commented in 1992, ‘ They administer well. But we will do better !’
31 The Policy to use INSEAS as a brainwashing platform for young and up-coming UMNO aspirants. A glowing report appeared in the Straits Times the following morning which lavished praises on these young and unsuspecting minds – the time-bombs for our beloved Malaysia. Who were in the Straits Times then ?
32. The Policy to discard the sovereignty and sanctity of Singapore Inc. and to invest commonly with the rest of the hoi-polloi at great risks which indeed happened since October 2008.
33. The Policy to produce a confetti of published works in praise of the Boss has embarassed the Apparatchiks in the 2014 book, ‘ THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW.’ In their haste to please the Apparatchiks let down their pants and produced a Festschrift which showed the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the Civil Servants, the Politicians and the Academics not only praised the Boss sky high but also worked for him, the Ruler 1959 – 2015. How to have a separation of powers in a sham democracy in such a small isle eg. the separation of the Executive, the Legislative, and the Judiciary. This is now CONFIRMED as a fact.

Within 25 years or lesst, the Republic of Singapore has the following options :
1. To become the 53rd State of the Union. Our beloved Malaysia has Uncle Sam as the neighbour.
2. To become a British Colony again. Even the Scots cry ‘out’.
3. To re-merge with Malaysia. But an ancient saying prevents, ‘ A good horse does not return to old pastures.’
4. To remain status quo with the humongous balloons, the paper money and an indeterminate demography. We have seen examples in Palembang, Sparta, Hong Kong, Goa etc.

Another international statistic has been published that Singapore’s Press Freedom has a ranking lower than Russia and far below that of Myanmar. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) – a highly respected 30-year old organization with consultant status at the United Nations confirms this. Again my conclusion that the balmy squeaky clean tiny Republic of Singapore has a GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED BY THE RULER 1959-2015 WITH APPARATCHIKS is exonerated. The poor citizens of Singapore ! A tiny place which is subjected to the heel of one person, the Ruler 1959 – 2015.
Where are you Uncle Sam ?
Be proud and strong, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ! You have done much for our beloved Malaysia which MONEY MONEY MONEY cannot buy !
The media reports that even the PKR wants you to be their Chief Adviser. As a leader of acheivements and successes above the fray of the present level of Malaysian politics, you stand high above the jostling crowd, a Malay, a Naltional Icon, a World Statesman who should be THE ADVISER TO ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS unlike the Ruler 1959 – 2015 whom 50% of his subjects would like to see him and his family dynasty go !
Even the naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians after being GASSED WITH BLUFFOLOGY FOR DECADES 1959 – 2015, have woken up. Acheh !

There was a headline which got stuck in an Opposition Blog for a few days, ‘ SEX AND THE MALAYSIAN POLITICIAN.’ until I commented, ‘ The best collection of the sexual peccadilloes of full-blooded Malaysian politicians and tycoons is in the Ministry of Information, Singapore. Vide. Wikileaks. On spying by Singapore on Malaysian.
Within this context, I like to comment that it is alleged that the best collection of the sexual peccadilloes of pale-looking Singaporean politicians and tycoons is in the Ministry of Information, Taipeh.
As I have been espousing the reliable, durable and sustainable FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS (as practised in our beloved Malaysia since 1957) which is diametrically opposed to the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE RULER 1959 – 2015 IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS, there is a comment, ” Is Singapore a democracy ? ” by Singaporean Chua Chin Leng aka redbean on Singaporean Dinesh Dayani’s article on the same subject in Hong Kong.

Just a small amendment. Instead of ‘ the 3rd Prime Minister of Malaysia ‘ it should read ‘ the 3rd Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. ‘ My humble apologies because the venerable Opposition leader had unwittingly brainwashed me into thinking that his ambition is to be the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia. But it was alleged he only wanted to be the 3rd Deputy Prime Minister for reasons best known to himself.
Singapore is no more than that – ‘Little Zionist Israel’.., of South-East Asia. Period..!!
And.., this man says it best as per this video, below:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OwzmgqUm6M
In the Military, Arms and Defense-wise, Singapore had long been trained and had always been in good terms with Zionist-Israel, as elaborated below:-
http://therealsingapore.com/content/how-israel-shaped-singapore-armed-forces
(The Real Singapore – Voice of the Average Singaporean) – How Israel Shaped The Singapore Armed Forces
And be advised that, Singapore as always would not go against Zionist-Israel when it comes to the Middle-East issues, as exemplified below:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaKSyGxl8fc
(Singapore abstains from UN vote on Palestine status)
http://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2014/07/open-letter-to-singapore-ministers-why-are-we-silent-on-gaza/
(Open letter to Singapore ministers – Why are we silent on Gaza?)
In fact, even some of Singapore’s Institution of Higher Learning would simply love to learn something from those Zionist-Israelis, as below:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE7fEinm4Rg
(Singapore University in Israel – Startups Meet Chutzbah)
Singapore has no true identity of its own, other than being that – ‘Little Zionist-Israel’…, of the Far-East. Period…!!
P.S.> Apparently, Singapore may be used by those elite & hidden ‘Zionist Rulers’ of the world, as being their proxy in these parts of the world. It may be a great pity that Singapore may be used by those despicable Zionist snakes.., to fight and die for them..!!

It is good, very good that we see headlines like ‘ Dr M now sleeps with the enemy.’ and on this pretext, the writer if any, proceeded to bring out the purported or so-called billion ringgits scandals which were alleged to be associated with you.
First, it sounds very good to those who are brainwashed and pre-coded. It sounds very good too to those who have no weapon in their hands to do any more damage to your reputation, integrity and sacrifice (unselfishness). It was your compassion to help all that has brought about the present events which were not foreseen. I have the same experience with my compassion too and this came to haunt me by the very persons whom I helped ex-gratis. I discovered these malevolent folks of mine are actually godless. Now let us examine the facts of these so-called scandals.
Second, the folks who are already conditioned by the great and brillliant Ruler 1959 – 2015 or those with a Putrajaya power bent must realise that an Honourable Prime Minister of any country, big orvery small, does not pick up the phone to give orders to Ali, Ah Kow or Samy down the road to buy or sell this and that. There is an interesting observation by the Ruler in one of the Ruler’s many volumes in which he mentioned his thoughts on the future of his children whilst enjoying afternoon tea on the Singapore’s President Istana lawn as his faithful butler picked up the ball for his children. THIS IS EXACTLY HOW A PRIME MINISTER OR A RULER SHOULD BEHAVE. And not like the hoi-pollioi which want to see blood on their screens as it was in a Roman amphitheatre !
I have proved that honourable Prime Ministers must maintain a certain decorum when dealing with closest aides, flunkeys or butlers as is clearly described by the great and brilliant Ruler down South !
Third, I have said for many times since August 2011 that it was his closest aides which let down the good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad because they continued on with their allotted tasks after they found that these could not be done for reasons best known to themselves or were ignorant of these big issues in play. As a result, all these purported scandals screeched to a halt and blew up. To imply anything more sinister than this is a grave travesty of justice upon an innocent person who had only his Country and Rakyat at heart.
Fourth, I know a friend who was entrusted with a task of a similar kind by the good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. He found that it could not be done. He honestly and loyally told Tun bluntly that the task could not be done. THERE WAS NO SCANDAL. MY FRIEND WAS THE VERY FIRST AND THE ONLY ONE WHO SPOKE THE TRUTH !
Let us consider the humongous loss of US$ 108 billions by the meritocratic pyramid of Apparatchiks with the smartest fellow on top in October 2008. Vide Channelnewsasia. Lee Kuan Yew November 2008. Financial Times London. Gillian Tett. April 2010. No one with the right frame of mind ever thinks that the meritocratic pyramid with the Apparatchiks and the smartest fellow walloped the money. No one ! Because it is well-known and transparent how a system works. And so it is with any functioning Prime Minister, like our Tun who has to rely on his closest aides or flunkeys to do any task, whatever.
It is mischievous for any person to imply that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was responsible for these losses incurred directly by those who HANDLED THE PROJECTS AND THE MONEY. What happened to all those rumours concerning his closest aides, flunkeys or butlers ?
1. Bank Bumi scandal. RM 10 billions
2. Maminco Makuwasa Affair. RM 1.6 billions
3. Forex scandal in the early 90s. RM 30 billions
4. Perwaja Steel scandal RM 10 billions
Total RM 51.6 billions Loss per year spread out over 22 years of the Tun’s Administration = RM 2.345 billions. Singapore’s loss of part of the CPF money was US$ 108 billions on Wall Street in October 2008 or RM 324 billions. Malaysia’s Foreign Reserves US $ 115 billions. Which couintry paid more school fees ?
We are Malaysians living in a fabled land which is now independently accredited as one of the 4 Best Countries in the World to live in. We should not blame one another at the behest of foreigners with an axe to grind. Even if there is a CRISIS now the moment we return to NORMALCY in our dealings we will shoot up like a real ROCKET unlike the half-past six version which has hung up like a sausage since 1966 without any tangible result.
I have not received any money, favours or titles from our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. I present facts in the present milieu because I am just an ordinary Malaysian. No need to be abusive, insulting or vulgar.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! Why I say MALAYS BOLEH is, it was alleged that the leader of one Opposition party said he was quite happy to be the 3rd Prime Minister of Malaysia.
Tun
My humble apologies for alleging that Singapore ranks 5th in the World’s nepotism index. Singapore actually ranks 5th in the Crony-Capitalism Index as reported by the Economist Mar 18 2014 and in the Corruption Index, it is ranked 5th behind the Scandinavian countries and one other. There should be a World’s Nepotism Index sometime.
Tun
It is good, very good that we discuss in a calm and rational manner public matters which we otherwise be shy to discuss. You have rightly brought up the propriety, ethics and probity of political systems as practised in our beloved Malaysia and elsewhere. This naturally entails the involvement of political parties now in existence in this fabled land. However, as always, we must return to basics and a benchmark to guide us in our task.
In this respect, our task is made much easier by the balmay squeaky clean tiny Republic of Singapore. This unique place has the World’s Longest Ruling Political Dynasty as imposed by its Ruler with his brilliantly conceptualised ULTRA COMMUNISITIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY LOYAL MERITOCRATIC APPARATCHIKS to garner legally the citizens’ money for the State which is controlled by one man, the Ruler. Please note NO MONEY IS BORROWED TO IMPLEMENT THE MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES OF THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC STATE unlike our beloved Malaysia which borrows like Ali, Ah Kow and Samy down the road. There is one BIG FLAW in the brilliant CONCEPT OF ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS WHO IS GOING TO CONTROL THIS HUMONGOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY WITH CAPTIVE CITIZENS IF THE DYNASTY DIES OUT ? Who ? Please note also that our beloved Malaysia has had 6 democratically elected Prime Minister during the same period of the Ruler – 1959 – 2015. This is the essence of the wherewithal of our beloved Malaysia’s existence. This is now confirmed independently by Internation Living.com that Malaysia is one of the best 4 places in the World to live or to retire. A vital accolade for the SUCCESSIVE BN GOVERNMENTS FROM 1957 – 2015. No need for ignorant or innocent folks to march in the hot and humid streets of Kuala Lumpur for others at the behest by others.
The Westerners mocked Russia for having oligarchs and China princelings. It is time they do the same to Singapore’s siblings.
In our dependable and reliable FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS which served us well from 1957 – 2015, studies of this System which is like WESTERN DEMOCRACY, have shown that MONEY is the main bugbear in its quest for holistic (I copy) development when there is too much of it.
ANOTHER GOOD EXAMPLE IS AGAIN THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE. ITS MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES HAVE BECOME TOXIC TO ITS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM. With the result, the citizens now demand to have their CPF money returned to them. This is of course impossible as the money has long since gone.
I sincerely hope by now that with all the facts on the 2 distinctive political systems of Malaysia and Singapore, it is crystal clear that Malaysia’s practices the norm in Democracy as the West understands it, and the other one is a FAKE. It is alleged in a survey that Singapore ranked 5th in the World’s index for nepotism.

I wonder how many of us noticed the standards of the Star and the UMNO owned naive, friendly and hospitable New Straits Times in political or eclectic terms within the last two weeks or so. Here are the revelations of how one newspaper was deliberately used to propagate the virtues of a foreign power and the other just seemed to find it difficult to keep up standards even though they aped the PAP controlled Straits Times by putting the top Malaysian Government’s announcements in its daily Page 2 !
1. The Star purportedly owned by the MCA, Tuesday 30 December 2014.
Page 6. ‘PM: Don’t believe in rummours.’
This gentleman I believe is our beloved Honourable Prime Minister, Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak.
Page 29. ‘Avoid friction between generations.’
PM. Current old-young conflict in Japan should not happen here.’
This PM is a fellow I do not know who. But at a glance, I thought he was our beloved Prime Minister the Honourable Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak. He turned out to have a foreign name and he is not a Prime Minister in our beloved Malaysia. I am truly confused that there are folks who are loyal to 2 different Prime Ministers in one single country. A World’s First perhaps ! So much for so called National newspapers in Nation building when in actual of fact these seemed to pander to foreign interests but not Malaysia’s at the drop of a hat.
On the Star newspaper which is loyal to 2 different and separate Prime Ministers of two sovereign countries, this is a crude form of brainwashing.
Furthermore, the foreign PM took the ideas expressed in his speech FROM THE HOTTEST ECONOMIST ON THE PLANET – THOMAS PIKETTY WHOSE PUBLISHED WORK, ‘ CAPITAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY ‘ IS A WORLD’S BESTSELLER. As I have always said that a lot of BLUFFOLOGY EMANATED FROM THE SOUTH TO CON US, NAIVE, HJOSPITABLE AND FRIENDLY MALAYSIANS AIDED BY FOLKS WHO ARE CERTAIN THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS NOT THERE BELOVED HOME ! This sort of childish brainwashing has been going on as far as I could remember back to the 1960s from the now TOXIC ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY THE RULER 1959-2015 AND AIDED BY APPARATCHIKS ! Even though the Star has been unmasked for serving different political masters, those responsible are still at it in a daze of brainwashed stupor and irrelevant exuberance.
2. The New Straits Times. Monday 5 January 2015
Business Times Supplement Page 9. ‘ FEW MOURN QUIET DEATH OF FRANCE’S ‘SUPERTAX’ ON RICH
SAME ISSUE. Page 28. Monday 5 January 2015. ‘ FRANCES’S SUPERTAX DIES QUIET DEATH. ‘ with the same words as the first report on Page 9 of the BT Supplement of the same issue on the same day.
For the very first time in my life, I read a newspaper with the SAME STORY PUBLISHED TWICE IN THE SAME ISSUE. MAYBE ITS WAS THE HOLIDAY BLUES. I AM KEEPING THIS UNIQUE NSTP NEWSPAPER AS A SOUVENIR. Also, it does not pay to ape the tiny Republic of Singapore in everything without understanding the real intentions of the Ruler 1959 – 2015.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Salam Tun.
1. There was a Malaysian, by the name of Rajaratnam who was the architect of Singapore’s foreign policy, on whom I believe LKY relies very much to safeguard the security of Singapore from the naive and hospitable Malays.
2. The Singaporean govt’s attitude towards her neighbour, especially Malaysia, could also be Rajaratnam’s doing.
3. My brother, who was a Special Branch officer visited Singapore regularly and joked about the number of missile warheads that is being directed towards Malaysia from our tiny neighbour. Very kiatsu and insecured nation, that is Singapore.

For Sdr Amin Tan.
I had the opportunity to study these unique Singaporeans from October 1951 to 2015.
At the rate they are replicating themselves with the mass importation ofthe Chinese and the Indians under the pretext of bolstering the GDP, we might one day realise this present lot of indigenous Singaporeans is the ‘ LOST RACE OF SINGAPURA ‘ in the 22nd Century. Again, this is a failure of the Policy of MONEY MONEY MONEY which has now brought about ruination, grief and tears to the tiny Republic of Singapore with its TOXIC GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY THE RULER AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE APPARATCHIKS.
There is nothing wrong with our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY AS PRACTISED IN THE WEST WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS and bolstered by our CONSTITUTION WHICH SAFEGUARDS ISLAM AND THE OTHER RELIGIONS. Our Democracy suits our style of living whatever this means. That we have stability, peace and harmony for so long since 1957 to 2003, only prove the success of our Malaysian Style Democracy without the interference of others. And it is to this end that we must all try to promote and protect our beloved Malaysia to be like Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Japan – strong in Justice, strong in Economics, strong in Security. Unfortunatelym the ISA was repealed without much thought or debate. It was brought in to protect the top elite more so than us, the Rakyat !
The more I delved into the past public affairs of the tiny Republic of Singapore, the more it dawned on me that the Ruler went off at a tangent in his approach to :-
1. His understanding of the Malays and their Civilization and himself.
2. His brilliant academic Cambridge credentials which he carried around to this day whilst most of us had already left this part of our history behind the portals of our places of learning.
3. His approach to his dealings with Malaysia and its leadership up to 2003 took the wrong path which was riding the high horse on the road to KL. If he had made a different tack to achieve his aims, our beloved Malaysia would have been in a different relationship with the Ruler, long long ago. Simply put, he made moves overt or covert which no one understood. I would have thought if the Ruler made normal moves, he would have gained much more than what have now been recorded or discovered. And this is no Hollywood type of ending to a scenario of a lifetime. But what to do, the die is cast, the players have taken on their roles, the act and the players are now recorded in history.
4. His creation of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in 1966 as the PAP was retreating after their ignominous defeat by our Tunku. By not taking part in the National Development, one wonders if this DAP is serious to secure power with the very rich PKR and the good PAS at Putrajaya. Or has it got any secret agenda if any since it is now discovered their hidden political philosophy is the same as the PAP !
MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.
I am just the little boy who pointed out that the Emperor has no clothes based on facts. No insults, abuses, or vulgarities like our Opposition.
But the greater race at the end of the day between the top leaderships of our beloved Malaysia and the redoubtable and unique tiny Singapore is for all to see – THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMALCY AS SHOWN BY OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND THE APPARENT SUPERIORITY OF THE RULER ! The fairy tale of the Hare and the Tortoise !
THE FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY AS PRACTISED IN THE WEST WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS WITH ITS CHECKS AND BALANCES AS OPPOSED TO THE GODLESS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE RULER 1959 – 2015 AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE APPARATCHIKS.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
How did this come about ?
Dear Tun,
Please allow me to quote from Mr Mubarakchan as follows,
“”He created the DAP in 1966 which is an exact image of the 1955 founded PAP of the tropical isle. The venerable leadership of both political parties is just a mirror image of each other. The only difference is that the PAP leadership has Oxbridge roots whilst the academic achievements of the DAP could not be compared with its maker, the PAP. Because of the lack of brain power in the DAP of Malaysia, we have noted that the Opposition consisting of the Ultra Communistic DAP, the very rich PKR and the godd PAS failed to take-over Putrajaya in 3 Easy Steps even though hundreds of millions of ringgits were spent. eg.
1. In 1998, if the Deputy Prime Minister had taken a busman’s holiday in Disneyland with his family, he would have returned as the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia. But he listened to his kitchen cabinet which is now stronger with the BN. One EASY STEP…….””
—————————————————————————————
I dare say, nobody alive today has so much knowledge whether overt or covert, about Singapore, than Mr Mubarakchan. The analysis is insightful comprehensive accurate and with a pinch of humour and sarcasm. I suggest Mr Mubarakchan compile all the postings on Singapore including the 22 failed policies and published it in hard cover plus colourful jacket with a smiling picture or Mr Mubarakchan to match the picture of Lee Kuan Yew in his book
‘From Third World to First”. We sell the books along Orchard Road and bookshops at Changi airport.
Please allow me to quote one very apt description of Singaporean by Mr Mubarakchan,
“pushy and brazen” Wallahu alam.

Lest we forget.
At the beginning of the year I commented on the 4 potential weapons for mass defence in the National Interest againsst the most high profile and obvious antagonist of Malaysian Politics, the Ruler of the tiny Republic of Singapore, 1959 – 2015.
He created the DAP in 1966 which is an exact image of the 1955 founded PAP of the tropical isle. The venerable leadership of both political parties is just a mirror image of each other. The only difference is that the PAP leadership has Oxbridge roots whilst the academic achievements of the DAP could not be compared with its maker, the PAP. Because of the lack of brain power in the DAP of Malaysia, we have noted that the Opposition consisting of the Ultra Communistic DAP, the very rich PKR and the godd PAS failed to take-over Putrajaya in 3 Easy Steps even though hundreds of millions of ringgits were spent. eg.
1. In 1998, if the Deputy Prime Minister had taken a busman’s holiday in Disneyland with his family, he would have returned as the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia. But he listened to his kitchen cabinet which is now stronger with the BN. One EASY STEP.
2. In 2008, if the Opposition had secured the 32 Aduns BEFORE instead of AFTER the 12th General Elections, it would have cost them nothing because they would have had controlled Putrajaya. They would have won 2 General Elections since 2008. One EASY STEP.
3. In 2013, if the Opposition had boycotted the 13th General Elections and gone on a 100 day fast at the Third Class Ward of the KL General Hospital, they would have been in Putrajaya since May 2013 because the BN would have won 100% of the seats with just 47% of the total votes. The World would have been in an uproar. One EASY STEP.
With the above-mentioned incompetency and inefficiency in mind, I wonder whether the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is serious in achieving power at Putrajaya ? Or does it prefer to be just a mischief maker in view of its umbiilical relationship with the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM of the tiny Republic of Singapore ? Since it is now crystal clear the DAP is a carbon copy of the Ultra Communistic Political and Social System as embraced by the PAP, all Malaysians should now know what the DAP really is and why the DAP never reveal its TRUE POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY WHICH IS THE SAME AS THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AS IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY THE RULER 1959 – 2015 AND IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS. This System has gone TOXIC. We observe the DAP also has the coterie of APPARATCHIKS surrounding the Sun and the Moon !
The Singapore Trojan Horse DAP’s political philosophy is godless and unconstitutional being the off-spring of the foreign PAP with its political philosophy which has been adopted by 2 giant authoritarian nations, Russia and China. There have been reports that Chinese cadres visited the PAP grassroots to see how they work. The West has mocked both Russia and China as having oligarchs and princelings respectively. Maybe it is time for the West to mock the siblings of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AS WELL. Acheh !
Our beloved Malaysia’s political philosophy has always been FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY AS PRACTISED IN THE WEST WITH OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS. This Malaysian political philosophy is diametrically opposed to that in both the DAP and PAP and their dynasties with apparatchiks, siblings, digits and cohorts. There is absolutely no difference between the two as regards their promises, attitudes, brainwashing, political structure of family dynasties etc.
Our Political System has stood us in goodstead since 1957 and the only problem with it is that it sometimes leaks money in the wrong hands being free and democratic with supposedly checks and balances unlike the brutal efficiency of a command Ultra Communistic State. Let us hope the plumber is not the IMF when we need a plumber next.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
The end of 2014 was momentous, not only for the high profile news item but the unravelling of what makes the balmy squeaky clean tiny isle of the Republic of Singapore ticks. To quote President Nixon after his only visit to Singapore, ‘ Big Man in a small place.’ We may quote now, ‘ Small place with a Big Name.’
If you would recall, I met you without invitation in April 2010.
I was very concerned that our beloved Malaysia would turn into a failed State if matters were left to run its course, especially the all out effort to do you in – YOUR HONOUR. YOUR REPUTATION. YOUR DIGNITY. YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS. YOUR FAMILY. This evil effort was not done in a refined civilized manner in a democratic State but through the use of INSULTS, ABUSES, VULGARITIES OF ALL KINDS which should not be served upon Malaysia’s Greatest World Statesman, a Malay. The sad thing was that those who benefitted immensely from you were in the forefront of these devillish acts. And these acts could only be done with MONEY MONEY MONEY.
These negative acts happened to be within the context of my interest in Singaporeans and Singapore since 1951. The PAP was founded in 1955. I could see how this tiny place was turned from a Hollywood type of tropical entreport into a bastion for one Ruler in the short span of a life-time with its IMPERIALISTIC INTENTS arising from a godless ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY A RULER 1959-2015 IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS. Vide. ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ 2014.
I was not happy at all when our beloved Malaysia was on the verge of a subtle take-over by low ranking PAP cadres looking for ‘low hanging fruits’ from an inferior entity after you retired in 2003, Tun. And since then we have been sliding down the slippery slope of the power pyramid in Rakyat terms, losing lives, assets and honour all the way to 2015. The very last blow to our FREEDOM AND DIGNITY will be the signing of the TPPA. The Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays suffer a fate worse than death because they had no power to sign !
Hence, by putting myself to the task, we now have 4 WEAPONS,, a hydrogen bomb too. to defend our beloved Malaysia and ourselves against lies and brainwashing with ever growing intensity which were heaped on us since the 1960s !
1. THE 3 GOLDEN ATTRIBUTES FOR A PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA.
2. THE 4 OPTIONS FOR THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE TO STAY RELEVANT WITHIN 25 YEARS.
3. THE 28 FAILED POLICIES OF LEE KUAN YEW 1959 – 2015. During the same period. our beloved Malaysia has had 6 democratically elected Prime Ministers.
4. THE GODLESS COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE RULER 1959-2015 IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS. This System has gone TOXIC because the citizens have woken up from their long brainwashed stupor and want their CPF money returned. Soon. they will realise that the Malaysians only love to play 19 holes of golf and their huge military only serves to protect the Ruler 1959 – 2015. In September 2013, Russia awarded an academic medal to the Ruler together with 3 other minor academics. In 1992, Deng Xiao Peng commented. ‘ They administer well. We will do better than them.’ Both authoritarian giants have adopted the World’s Best Singapore Ultra Communist System whereby all the citizens money is legally channelled to the Government coffers controlled by one person, the Ruler. Where are you Uncle Sam ?
And the last but not least finding is that the LEADERSHIP OF THE DAP IS CAST LIKE THE PAP LEADERSHIP. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE PAP LEADER HAS A BRILIANT CAMBRIDGE ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION AND THE DAP LEADER WAS ONE OF HIS MANY ASSISTANTS ! The political structure is the same in DAP and the PAP, like the Gemini Twins.
Does’nt the above facts remind us all, Tun, about Hans Christian Anderson’s Tale, ‘ THE LITTLE BOY AND THE EMPEROR WITHOUT CLOTHES.’ – a classic in BLUFFOLOGY, the only natural resource of Singapore.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

This is the last day of the year 2014. It is a time to review important topics which affect us all, our lives and our work, our families, children and grand children. What is the most important topic of all but about the Ruler of the godless Ultra Communistic Political and Social System imposed on the unsuspecting citizens of the balmy and tiny Republic of Singapore ?
Many Malaysians especially the Chinese behave as though the Republic of Singapore and its Ruler with the Apparatchiks do not interfere in our domestic politics. This is far far from the truth as confirmed by the all revealing Wkilleaks. The brainwashing of young up and coming UMNO aspirants by the Institute of South East Asian Studies (INSEAS) Singapore and later by the fine accolades in the Straits Times created either instant rebels or delayed time bombs in Malaysia to this very day.
Then, the 85 year old Ruler made an ill-advised grand tour of the Ulus to visit the digits and the cohorts in the Peninsula with the US backed TPPA already in his pocket in June 2009 after being rebuffed by Washington DC from 2005 to 2008. The October Crash of 2008 made all the difference.
With the final throw of the dice to save herself, Singapore now pushes the poisoned chalice TPPA to bash open Malaysia’s tightly closed tarriff doors via Washington DC. In passing, today’s Al Jazeera presented a story on how the NAFTA ( North America Free Trade Agreement ) finished off the once wealthy Mexican farmers and ranchers with the FREE IMPORTATION OF CHEAPER PRODUCTS. If we sign the TPPA, the Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays face a fate worse than death because they did not have the power to sign.
Two significant discoveries were made by researches into facts and independent media on THE REAL SINGAPORE AND ITS RULER .
1. The Political System of Singapore is diametrically opposed to Malaysia’s Free Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalistic Characteristics. It is time for all Malaysians to know the difference. It is a matter of life and death.
The Ultra Communistic Political and Social System of Singapore as created and imposed by the Ruler 1959 – 2014 is implemented by Apparatchiks bolstered by a Golden Mean Equation of CPF-HDB-Quit & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Water Conservation Tax-Free subsidised Malaysian Water-traffic tax-Public Utilities-Meritocracy-Civil Service-Military with foreign mercenaries. In short, the purpose is to make the 99.99% of the populace dirt poor so that they do not challenge the Ruler. Meritocracy is a euphemism. How many of us can go to Oxbridge or the Ivy League ? This effectively shuts out the non-cronies or non-elites from the reins of political power. The Judiciary is not only perfunctory but given to writing Festschrifts in honour of the Boss. Vide. ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ 2014. The ex-Chief Justice is portrayed next to the ex-President in their Festschrift to the Ruler.
2. The best factual study of a Ruler is his Policies. His failed 28 Policies for Singaporeans ended up in a failed State which is slowly unraveling itself. 50% of Singapore’s populace are now disgruntled after being in a brainwashed stupor of the brilliance of the Ruler since 1959 and want their CPF money returned by the Government. How ? His failed Policies are as follows up to 31 December 2014.
i. The use of money to buy out Thaksin’s business which unintentionally caused the deaths and injuries to hundreds of innocent Thai men, women and childre. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands.
ii. The 2 Child Family Policy of the 1970s-1980s was the real killer which was applied on a population of 1.6 millions of productive age. Legal abortions and sterilizations abound. Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2013.
iii. The loss of USD 108 billions in October 2008 on Wall Street of the CPF money by the dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top. Vide. Channelnewsasis. November Lee Kuan Yew. Financial Times London. April 2010. Gillian Tett.
iv. Humanity and Multiculturalism never practised. Vide. Channelnewsasia. 2011-2012. The Curry Smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike. The toilet fights. etc Places of worship were torn down in the early 1970s.
v. A perfunctory Judiciary well known the throughout the World. Vide. The book, ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ The ex-President and the ex-Chief Justice are cheek by jowl in this unique Festschrift to the Boss. It is difficult to have separation of the Executive, Legislative, Judiciary in a one street town ! Dr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. German, Aussie and Malaysian drug mules. Dr Woffles Wu. Shaw. If the Police stopped at one, he would not have been in trouble. But they stopped at 51. Poor girl !
vi 5,000 pigs imported daily. The flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The Sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank. etc. etc.
vii. A World class transportation system not established. Vide Manubhani. Distinguished diplomat and academician.
viii. The failure of management of foreign workers. Vide. Channelnewsasia. The Little India Riots. The Rex Cinemas sit-in.
ix. A spy network established in neighbouring countries. In Malaysia, there were swallows, ducks, tycoons, journalists etc. Vide Wikileaks. and the naive friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8. 2014.
x. A full fledged military of 300,000 reservists, aging Gurkha Brigades, F35s, drones, Apaches, Hercules. AWACS, 9 submarines, corvettes, humongous balloons, long range artillery, rusting tanks, a SD 2 bililions strategic water reserve, bomb-proofed buildings, secret caverns, spies, an advanced electronic centre, bomb disposal squads etc.
xi. The Policy to dominate Malaysia by the use of proxies.
xii. The founding of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in 1966 by the retreating Singaporeans after their defeat by the Tunku. The DAP never contributed to the National Development Effort, 1966 – 2014.
xiii. The Policy to ride the back of the United States to bash down Malaysia’s tariff door using the poisoned chalice TPPA. If Malaysia signs, she dies. Singapore lives.
xiv. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Vide. The Hong Kong Mrt has 99% efficiency.
xv. The Policy to import foreign manual workers and billionaires to boost the GDP.
xvi The Meritocratic System was dismantled in 2013 by two Ministerial announcements. In future, applicants for jobs and promotions, their hidden talents apart from their academic qualifications will be considered.
xvii The highest paid Ministers in the World. Vide. Warren Buffet.
xviii. The emigration of 300,000 middle income group to overseas.
xix The command system to collect information on everyone since 1972 by the super-computers. The danger is now overseas.
xx The legal use of the CPF Trust money at rock bottom interest without the consent of the contributors. Now 50% of the population want their CPF money returned.
xxi The Policy to use the citizens CPF Trust money in risky investments and called these as Sovereign Funds. Only Canada, Norway and the Gulf States can rightfully call their Funds, Sovereign.
xxii. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals. Their expiry dates are forgotten.
xxiii. The Ruler has been in power 1959 -2014. During this period, Malaysia has had 6 democratically elected Prime Ministers.
xxiv. The failure of important Policies adopted by the Singapore Government.
xxv. Dr Alfred Winsemius, the Dutch UN economics expert and Adviser to the Singapore Government 1961 – 1984 could present the Infrastructural Development Plan for Singapore which we can see its glittering success today. But the Ruler was tasked to develop the human resources which he screwed down the indigenous population 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2012. Vide. The Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2013.
xxvi The Money Grab Policy of the Government has failed due to its rejection by the population. In 1982, a rich young tycoon was sent to the schools to lecture that it was good to be greedy. Vide. Singapore Business Times.
xxvii The on-going failure of the Republic of Singapore in the early 21st Century.
xxviii The ultimate failure of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM CREATED BY THE RULER 1959 – 2014 IMPLEMENTED BY HIS APPARATCHIKS TO GARNER ALL MONIES LEGALLY INTO THE STATE’S COFFERS CONTROLLED BY HIM.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
You would probably have noticed by now that there are some people who can take in complicated facts and they will come out with simple and straightforward answers like your goodself, Tun. But most of the people could not absorb such facts and either they hesitated or made the situation even more complicated. It is like a juggler juggling with more and more balls in the air until the whole lot of balls collapses.
We find this situation concerning our political leaderships which happened all the time. In politics, sometimes answers are needed as simple and fast..
It is the perception of a political leadership by its opponents who are ever ready to do down the incumbent Government, which holds the key to the smooth functioning of the implementation of its policies, if any.
We may now hark back to the great game as played by the Ruler from 1959 – 2014. It is now discovered that the political system he employs in all its glory in balmy squeaky clean Singapore is the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON TIMID CITIZENS. Brainwashing was the key in all things like controlling the minds of the citzens all the time. The fear of invasion by us, naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians is created by the ever constant 24 hour alert imposed on the NS. Only a practitioner of brainwashing of the very best quality will be able to pin-point how this is done. The Ministry of Information should be the one which gathers and disseminates information.
The crafty use of brainwashing has blind-sided the World of academics and political observers for 2 generations. This puts their professionalism at risk of being sub-par in their writings or reports. Arab Spring was the device which purportedly used to bring down despots in the Middle East. Of course, there are different types of despots as there are different types of rambutans and durians.
There have been different reports about the Star, a newspaper owned by the BN component MCA. It is reported that it is infested with non-MCA types who blatantly carried the Opposition agenda which must be presumed to be that of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP with its umbilical cord attached to its spiritual homeland Singapore.
This gives rise to the question ‘ How can MCA, a component of the BN which practises our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS so permits DAP which is linked to the PAP which practises the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IN ITS HOMELAND SINGAPORE ? What is the answer MCA ? The Star is also actively engaged in business with the PAP media in Singapore. Vide. The Star Annual Reports.
From the dust of the daily quarrels amongst the politicians, a word ‘ MODERATE ‘ has emerged in the pages of the Star. This is to give the impression of the adherents, crypto or otherwise that they ride the high horse of moderation and anyone who is not of their stripe or colour is excluded. Stupid.
This is exclusivity of the worse kind and blatantly hi-jacked this word from the holistic ( I copy ) millions of Malaysian who are not only MODERATE BUT WERE MODERATES WELL BEFORE THESE BRAINWASHERS SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY !
The daily pouring forth of this so called new word ‘ MODERATE ‘ as though it is something new, it is nothing new. But this word for us the true Malaysians who want EVOLUTION AND NOT REVOLUTION as propagated by those who have the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CRAFTED BY THE RULER at heart. This is how the brainwashing maestros work on the populace who are only too keen to work and get a decent income.
Beautiful pictures in beautiful full page advertisements is the order of the day in the hi-jacked Star paper. So easy ! All the Ruler needed to do is to capture the head honcho of any outfit in Malaysia with his MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES AND THERE YOU ARE – THE DIGIT IS IN HAND. He did it with Thaksin. Did’nt he ? It cause the deaths and injuries to hundreds of innocent men, women and children to this day coupled with two coup d’tats to his face – fine and free country divided. This happened in friendly Thailand and it is now on-going in our beloved Malaysia.- Divide us and rule us ?
It is amazing that our political folks just accept those who are against the incumbent Government at face value. The bells of REVOLUTION ARE TOLLING AND YET THOSE CONCERNED CITIZENS LIKE US CAN ONLY GAZE IN WONDERMENT AT THE LACK OF REACTION OR INACTION to return to a NORMAL STANCE. Why ?
It is the aping of the MONEY MONEY MONEY policies of the Ultra Communistic Political and Social System of the Ruler of the tiny Republic of Singapore by our beloved Malaysia which is the cause of a feeling of insecurity and unhappiness.
The failed MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES OF THE RULER are based on MONEY MAKING MONEY. This has failed miserably and the tiny Republic of Singapore because of this mis-conception. The huge losses of money belonging to its citizens’ CPF money has put a strain on its finances since 2008. There is no end in sight to resolve this thorny issue.
The success of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s 22 year Administration was base on the CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY. This is the smarter way of governance. A study of the backgrounds of the Ruler and our beloved Tun, will reveal the answer !
IT IS UP TO CHINESE NOT TO BE MIS-LED BY THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP THAT BY SUPPORTING THEM, OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WILL BE LIKE THE FAILED REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE which practises the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM CRAFTED BY THE RULER 1959 -2014 TO GARNER ALL MONEY LEGALLY INTO THE STATE COFFERS CONTROLLED BY THE RULER ONLY. This Ultra Communistic System is implemented by the Apparatchiks through a golden mean equation bolstered by the CPF-HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Traffic Tax-Water Conservation Tax-Free subsidised Malaysian Water-Public Utilities-Meritocracy-Civil Service-Judiciary-Military with foreign mercenaries.
IT IS TIME THOSE IN THE MCA WHO ARE TRULY MALAYSIANS TAKE UP THE ABOVE MENTIONED FACTS WHICH AFFECT THE DESTINIES OF ALL OF US MALAYSIANS. AND TAKE THE RIGHT COURSE OF ACTION.
Again, felicitations to the Group of 25 prominent Malays who are now in the limelight !
MALAYSIA BOLEH
Tun
It seems to me that our Malaysian Politics is just one big quarrel amongst full-blooded adult politicians sniping at each other for any idea which happened to come to their minds.
Why our Politics have deteriorated and descended to such a level can only serve the un-altruistic purpose of those who are hidinig big agendas within their cloaks. The only beneficiaries of this political melee can only be the very rich Opposition. However, we must remind ourselves that our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTDCS IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT A RICH OPPOSITION. And to what sort of Political System with its unwritten rules and regulations do these political footballers play on the Malaysian Politcal Football League, probably the very first in the World ? The System is our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISITIC CHARACTERISTICS ! The BN Team is playing this System all the time but were not conscious of its details and the wherewithal of its existence since 1957 ! Albeit, the BN Team played on and on with the superb guidance of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and our venerable Constitution. From success to success, 1957 to 2014, the BN Team played against a chameleon-like Oppostion which changed its many colours from 1957 to 2014 !
By 2014, the single-headed Opposition chameleon of the past has became a 3 headed chameleon of no distinct political progeny. One head represents the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP with its umbilical cord attached to the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE CRAFTED BY THE RULER 1959 -2014 AND IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS. The second head belongs to the very rich PKR and the third head the good PAS.
THE DAP BY ATTACHING ITSELF TO THE VERY RICH PKR AND THE GOOD PAS BECOMES IN THE EYES OF ALL AS VIRTUOUS. But how can this be when its very credentials arose from its founding by the retreating stalwarts of the PAP in 1966 after their ignominious defeat by our Tunku and its venerable leader was an aide to the Ruler whose needs were attended to by him ? To say that the DAP is not PAP is like saying that my father is not my father !
With the political facts before us, Tun, I begin to wonder why the BN people could be put on the defensive by the average minded political Opposition types whose academic achievements were in the basement and 88 storeys down from the towering academic heights of the Ruler who rightfully claimed his academic brilliant achievement of 1947 in Cambridge ? Why I present this political fact is that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP should gallop in the Singapore Race Course with its Singaporean political baggage only. The DAP has not a whisker of politcial propriety, ethic and morality to pretend that they are MALAYSIAN AT ALL. IN FACT, THE DAP AND ITS MEMBERS REPRESENT A FOREIGN POWER OR SOMETHING ELSE WHICH WE HAVE YET TO DETERMINE. What really is the DAP ? That is the question !
Since its founding in 1966 by the retreating PAP stalwarts after their ignominious defeat by our Tunku, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP has not contributed one iota of energy to our National Development but spent all their energies building up their grassroots movement based on simple emotional issues which are not applicable to a FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS which we practise.
For example, their much vaunted slogan, ‘ MALAYSIA FOR MALAYSIANS ‘ which was concocted by their Ruler, is now the resonant out-cry of 50% of the Singaporean populace as ‘ SINGAPORE FOR SINGAPOREANS.’ This cheeky slogan has boomeranged on the Ruler with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore.
How could 90% of the Chinese who voted for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which has been shown to do nothing for our National Development from 1966 – 2014 except to say ‘ No” when the BN says ‘ Yes ‘ and ‘ Yes ‘ when the BN says ‘ No.’ BY DOING SUCH A SIMPLE JOB ANY DAP ADUN CAN COLLECT RIGHTFULLY AND LEGALLY ALLOWANCES FROM THE BN GOVERNMENT at least RM 2.8 millions from 1966 to 2014. There is a good chance from this green shoot a political dynasty will flourish like in the spiritual homeland of Singapore.
Furthermore, I begin to wonder what is the REAL POLITICS OF THE VENERABLE MCA which stood by the side of the UMNO in most times of our political history ?
The MCA does not seem to take an aggressive stance towards its obvious opponents, the DAP. Its media machinery is crippled by saboteurs who were embedded into the structure after the last Chief Editor retired. It is now in complete control by the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. The Star is in business partnership in Singapore with the PAP media vide. the Star Annual Reports.
The MCA by trying to outdo the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP in its earnest vocal efforts to represent the Chinese community CANNOT out do it because the DAP has no constraints as regards anything and is only too happy for its supporters to go to jail as martyrs. Whereas the MCA members do have constraints apart from working within the parameters of the BN rules and regulations. There is the never mentioned personal and private connections with the Ruler’s Singapore, like bank accounts, relatives, condos etc. I reckon this is the one big bugbear of the MCA’s reluctance to attack the DAP AND ITS POLITICAL UMBILICAL CORD ATTACHED TO THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM CRAFTED BY THE RULER AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE APPARATCHIKS FOR SINGAPOREANS ! And the best of all, this silly system which was created by a person who should know better, has gone TOXIC ! Now, 50% of the populace want back their CPF money after wakening up from a long brainwashed stupor !
HEREIN LIES THE ACHILLES HEEL OF THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP – its umbilical cord as recorded by facts and history, attached firmly to the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CRAFTED BY THE RULER 1959 – 2014 AND IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY APPARATCHIKS BOLSTERED BY A GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF THE CPF-HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Water Conservation Tax-Free subsidised Malaysian Water-Public Utilities-Meritocracy-Civil Service-Judiciary-Military with foreign mercenaries manning the hardware.
MCA ! DO OUR CHINESE VOTERS TOGETHER WITH THEIR COMPATRIOTS WANT THIS SILLY ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM WHICH ONLY BENEFIT A SINGLE RULER IN MALAYSIA ?
Further facts, like the constant lauding of the DAP leadership in Pulau Pinang by the media of a foreign power and the cross exchanges of cadres etc. only go to prove the REAL INTENTIONS OF THE BRILLIANT RULER.
AND YET WITH ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED POLITICAL FACTS PRESENTED WHICH ARE THE VULNERABLE AND EXPOSED CRYPTO- POLITICAL BELIEFS OF THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP VIS-A-VIS THE TOXIC POLITICAL SYSTEM OF THE BRILLIANT RULER, nobody from the MCA seems to be aware what a golden opportunity for them to win back kudos from the Chinese community as well as from their compatriots communities ! And we have a proper FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS in tune with Western Democracy which has stood us in goodstead for 58 years since our Merdeka in 1957 !
To key to any achievement is to focus on the subject at hand and not to be side-tracked by minor issues.
Again felicitations to the Group of 25 prominent Malay leaders !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
Before the year 2014 is out, it is time for us to consider the years of insults, abuses and vulgarities hurled at the UMNO leadership which was successful in the creation of the 3 MILLION FAMILY MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP WHICH UPLIFTED THE 3 MILLION FAMILY NON-MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP BY THE PURCHASES OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES OF THE LATTER BY THE FORMER, notwithstanding the multitude of National Infrastructural Developments.
Favourite accusations like NEPOTISM, CRONYISM, CORRUPTION, AUTHORITARIAN BEHAVIOUR, SO ON AND SO FORTH spouted freely sometimes from the very lips of those who benefitted immensely from the Tun or from those who represent foreign powers who were hell-bent to DISRUPT THE STABILITY PEACE AND HARMONY OF A VIABLE STATE WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES LIVING SIDE BY SIDE WHICH IS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.
It is good to face such insults, abuses and vulgarities head-on.
First it is proper to examine the POLITICAL SYSTEMS OF MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE.
We have the FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTCS which is diametrically opposed to SINGAPORE’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM CRAFTED BY THE RULER WHICH IS IMPLEMENTED BY APPARATCHIKS. The sole purpose of this System is to garner every cent from the citizens legally for the State coffers which are controlled by one Ruler, 1959 – 2014.
Second, it is appropriate to examine the MONEY TRAIL which is easily traced in the official records of the tiny Republic of Singapore. Easy money to be made is to be found in monopolistic situations in any economy eg. daily importation of 5,000 pigs, flower nurseries contracts, the share-broking industry, Public Utilites, etc.etc. An example is that I had a friend who was an architect with a Government Agency. He complained why a retaining wall which could be approved in KL at 3 feet wide, could only be approved at 6 feet wide. A few days later, his wife was threatened at a wet market. The whole faimily returned to KL in haste. I noted it took something like 15 years to apprehend those responsible.
Third, it pays for those who so freely accused our leaders of all sorts of corruption to do some real ground work in the tiny Republic of Singapore to find that there are different strokes for different folks.
It is interesting to note that the accusations of corruption, nepotism, cronyism etc which are often hurled at the successful 22 year Administration of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to damage him, are often false and without foundation.
If we must have Democracy then we must behave and perform to the rules of Democracy and not WAIT WHEN OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD HAS RETIRED FROM POWER AND THEN HURLED ALL SORTS OF ABUSES, LIES, INSULTS AT HIM.
Why these detractors did not stand up to OPPOSE HIM AS IN A DEMOCRACY WHEN HE WAS IN POWER ? What they really did were to accept more handouts from him when he was in power !
IF ANY POLICE REPORT AS TO ANY FALSE ALLEGATION WAS NOT MADE, THEN, ALL THESE ABUSES, INSULTS, VULGARITIES ETC SHOULD STOP FORTHWITH – confirming these are lies without substantive evidence.
It is better to debate why our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS IS BETTER THAN SINGAPORE’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CRAFTED BY THE RULER AND IMPLEMENTED BY HIS APPARATCHIKS WHICH HAS NOW GONE TOXIC. The reason is 50% of the Singaporean citizens now want their CPF money back from the Government. They have lost their trust and confidence.
There are only 2 political systems to choose from for us Malaysians – MALAYSIA’S OR SINGAPORE’S. Take your choice wisely and not be enslaved by the BLUFFOLOGY FROM THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE.
Is it not what the Opposition and all those cult worshippers of the Ruler want ? Let us call a spade, a spade and not be a crypto-Singaporean.
But for those who now discover that SINGAPORE’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IS ONLY TO CULL MONEY LEGALLY FOR THE STATE COFFERS WHICH ARE CONTROLLED BY THE RULER 1959 – 2014 and is NOT THE CUP OF TEA FOR THEM, it is perfectly OK to withdraw due to their misconception of the true facts due to brainwashing by the CULTISTS WHO WORSHIP AT THE ALTAR OF MONEY MONEY MONEY !
Again felicitations to the 25 prominent Malay leaders who are now in the limelight !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
It is appropriate that the word, ‘ CULT ‘ is properly defined within the context of my research and study on the brilliant Ruler’s craftily created ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH THE APPARATCHIKS.
For all intents and purposes, the Ruler is a self-appointed HIGH PRIEST OF THE CULT WHICH WORSHIPS HIM AT THE ALTAR OF MONEY MONEY MONEY. His ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH APPARATCHIKS ARE USED TO EXERCISE HIS POWER AND CONTROL OF THE STATE’S MONEY AND HUMAN MINDS ABSOLUTELY. Not a single cent or citizen is left unturned. A further study of his style is that it is a combination of Mao, Stalin and Hitler without the bloody characteristics and compassion in tune with Anglo Saxon characteristics of the Cold War. Their megalomaniacal tendencies are all there – the thirst for fame, power and money absolutely is all there. He must have been a profound student of his contemporial history of the great dictators of the 20th century.
From the Wikipedia, ‘ CULT ‘
” In the sociological classifications of religious movements, a ‘ CULT ‘ is a religious or social group with socially deviant, novel beliefs and practices. However, whether any particular group’s beliefs and practices are sufficiently deviant or novel is often unclear,thus making a precise definition problematic. In the English speaking world, the word often carries derogatory connotations.
The word ‘ CULT ‘ has forever been controversial. This is because it is (in a pejorative sense) considered a subjective term used as an ‘ad hominem’ to attack against groups with differing doctrines or practices, which lack a clear or consistent definition. IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED SELECTIVELY BY PROPONENTS OF MIND CONTROL THEORY.” – like brainwashing of the naive and innocent Malays.
A real example was to invite up and coming young UMNO types to speak at the Institute of South East Asian Studies and an article would appear in the PAP controlled Straits Times the folowing morning lauding how brilliant and clever the Malay speaker was. This sort of crafty brainwashing gave rise to two types of personalities – those who suddenly realised that their intellectual ability were greater than their Boss and rebelled or those who continued on with their UMNO work but became a PAP Singaporean time -bomb subconciously.
IN BOTH INSTANCES, IT IS CRASS INTERFERENCE IN ANOTHER NATION’S HUMAN ASSETS IN THE ULTIMATE INTEREST OF THE RULER WHICH NOW CONTROLS THEIR MINDS. All the participants did not realise that only the graduates of Oxbridge and the Ivy League are considered above the rest especially Cambridge.
Again felicitations for the Group of 25 prominent Malay leaders.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
The Group of 25 prominent Malay leaders and their Open Letter by taking a step in the rigth direction has now stepped out of the shadows into the limelight. It is interesting to note at the present time with increasing interest in our poliitics and its political system why this is so. I am not aware of any other description of how our Free Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalisitc Characteristics works and much less of any study on what it is in that tiny place of the Republic of Singapore which has a political system entirely geared to the coffers of the State as created and ruled by one Ruler from 1959 to 2014.
Our beloved Malaysia’s Constitution is a balanced and legally crafted guide to the conduct of the political religious and socio-economic affairs of the Nation. As of today, no one has hi-jacked it. The Constituion has shown its durability, reliability and power through the decades since 1957. Hence, any Government with a two-thirds majoirty is important for the smooth functioning of its policies if any. But what is it that makes the Government, the Nation and its Rakyat co-exist in satisfaction and happiness which is translated into stability, peace and harmony in the common parlance ? By flipping retrospectively through the pages of our history, we find that there has been stability, peace and harmony throughout right up to 2003 from 1957. What is this secret amalgam which kept the Pandora’s Box tightly closed unlike the present dicey situation in which it is apparently half opened or half closed ?
Power is what any Ruler or political party wants to own and control to propagate and exercise their altruistic wishes through the implementation of their policies. But more often than not, with power comes the heady mix of power and money. This is where the whole Government or political socio-economic structure turns askew giving rise to blatant corruption by anyone who has an iota of power. This has come about with a lack of understanding of how a political and socio-economic System works either in Malaysia or the tiny Republic of Singapore.
A brainwashed Malaysian will always look towards his paradise of the balmy squeaky clean tropical isle of the Republic of Singapore with its brilliant Ruler and the green green grass of Hong Lim Green, a mere 2 acres of lawn. The green green grass of Hong Lim Park ( to make it sounds larger ) is no longer green but brown, due to the CPF conundrum of 50% of the Singaporean citizen. But our Malaysians still think it is green.
A latest example of brainwashing by the tiny Republic of Singapore can be gleaned from the latest report on the reaction of the young Malaysian Chinese and the book, ‘ THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW.’ These Malaysian citizens see the brilliance of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s ideas which were mainly of the legal kind concerning the nitty-gritties. I see this book in an entirely different light for two reasons :
1. This book exemplifies what I said about the Chinese. Some of them are so very clever as to be stupid. In their haste to publish a Festschrift for the Boss, a glaring lack of propriety and ethics are revealed.
2. THE EX-PRESIDENT, THE EX-CHIEF JUSTICE, THE POLITICIANS AND THE CIVIL SERVANTS ARE LINED UP TO SALAAM THE BOSS. This is unique in the Western Democratic World. I suppose the Ruler is pleased that Eastern values are shown here in huge dollops ! The Western phrases like ‘conflict of interests’ and ‘separation of powers concerning the EXECUTIVE, the LEGISLATURE and the JUDICIARY’ are completely ignored by those who should know best, in deference to make the BOSS happy.
Through the reams of facts on this tiny isle of the Republic of Singapore, a word ‘CULT’ seems to explain what it is all about in this ONE RULER ISLAND REPUBLIC. This also explains through what great lengths the intelligent and thoughtful friends of this tiny Republic took to suppress any inkling that the whole political socio-economic charade is but a ‘CULT ADVENTURE’ based on the apparent brilliant abilities of one brilliant Ruler, And his unique ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM WHICH GOES WITH THE CULT OF ONE RULER AS IMPLEMENTED BY HIS APPARATCHIKS !
To put this magic show with thick smoke and broken mirrors into perspective, what we see today in the tiny Republic of Singapore, is that of a HIGH PRIEST WITH HIS CULT EXERCISING OCCULT POWERS THROUGH HIS UNIQUE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM WITH APPARATCHIKS. The Ruler can only get away with such a daring and sinister plot from the Singaporean citizens because the tiny Republic’s 70% of the population maybe generally considered as ‘godless’. In lieu of this lack of spiritual belief, the Ruler adroitly and craftily conjured up what most people love first ‘MONEY MONEY MONEY’. This ‘MONEY MONEY MONEY’ BECAME HIS ALTAR AND HE THE HIGH PRIEST OF A UNIQUE CULT based on his 1947 BRILLIANCE and the mantra of worship is ‘MONEY MONEY MONEY’.
THIS IS THE TRUE STORY OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IN A TINY NUTSHELL. Any person who is brainwashed or a CULT follower is blind to the obvious.
AND WHAT IS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS IN ALL ITS GLORY ?
To put it in simple terms, why the Tunku, and the succeeding Administrations of Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad delivered the political goods to the Rakyat, it is because they kniew the PRINCIPLE OF THE PYRAMID in political terms.
We may consider the PYRAMID IN VIRTUAL OR IN REAL TERMS. In any Democratic Natioin, the goodies must flow down the slippery sides of the virtual or iron PYRAMID FROM THE APEX DOWN TO THE PROLETARIAT AT THE BOTTOM. The more the goodies flow, the more successful the Administration will be.
In our Tunku’s Administration, the goodies flowed like in Colonial times and became lop-sided due to a lack of the understanding of the functions of a Currrency Board and that of a Central Bank. Tun Abdul Razak’s Administration led the groundwork for the goodies to flow. Tun Hussein Onn’s Administration was the ideal buffer in transition. Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad understood the value of this VIRTUAL OR IRON PYRAMID – the more the goodies flowed, the more successful his 22 year Administration would be. In this convext he created the 3 MILLION FAMILIES MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP FROM COLONIAL EXPLOITATION WHICH UP-LIFTED THE 3 MILLION FAMILIES OF THE NON-MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP BY THE PURCHASES OF THE LATTER’S GOODS AND SERVICES BY THE FORMER. And a multitude of NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS AS WELL.
How to create this wonderful goodies to flow down the magical sides of the PYRAMID. It is the provision of jobs and opportunities for all. As Nouriel Roubini says, ‘ IF THERE IS NO JOBS CREATION, THERE IS NO INCOME CREATION.’ One off payments will not keep the slippery sides of the Pyramid wet all the time.
As the Rakyat is not stupid in our beloved Malaysia but only polite and courteous, it is painful for them to see huge amounts of money which seemed to defy gravity and flowed towards the apex of the PYRAMID against Newton’s Law of Gravity. This is the nub which partially opened or closed the PANDORA’S BOX today giving rise to all sorts of minor issues which have been lying dormant for decades if not centuries. IT IS THE GOODIES WHICH IS THE LUBRICANT AS WELL AS THE GLUE WHICH HELD THE NATION TOGETHER.
In our beloved Malaysia, MONEY MONEY MONEY Policies have never been placed on the altar to worship unlike the tiny Republic of Singapore. THIS IS AGAINST OUR VENERABLE CONSTITUTION. Besides, our way of life is not organised to do so. A lot of our grief and tears today is due to the aping of the MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES FROM THE CULT OF THE RULER OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT – IT IS THE COMPLETE GARNERING OF A CITIZEN’S MONEY LEGALLY INTO THE COFFERS OF THE STATE RULED BY ONE RULER – 1959 – 2014 ! During this period, our beloved Malaysia has had 6 democratically elected Prime Ministers.
THE RULER WITH HIS CULT AND ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM HAS BECOME TOXIC. And this is all because of MONEY MONEY MONEY. The Singaporean citizens want back their CPF money. At least 50% of the population has woken up from their brainwashed stupor.
We must forget about basing everything on MONEY MONEY MONEY and return to NORMALCY in accordance with our FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS which has proved to be successful from 1957 – 2003.
There lies the difference between the FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS AND THE RULE BY CULT, RULER WITH HIS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AND HIS APPARATCHIKS.
Again, felicitations to you, the Group of 25 Malay leaders.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
You must be aware as well as anyone else that a politician cannot live by emotions alone. And we are also aware that there is no book written to teach a novice how to be a practising politician so that he or she could aspire to be a President or Prime Minister. So, what can an aspiring and ambitious person do to get onto the escalator to political stardom. The truth is entirely based on luck or whether the family or peers are already in this great game called politics – a very risky career of the nebulous kind. Many of my friends felled by the wayside in the course of pursuing their political aims if any. For myself, I took the right turning twice !
The recent Open Letter by 25 prominent Malay leaders was a step in the right direction seeking a more moderate society. In short, this is the same reason for all of us on this disntinguished Blog who are normal and sensible, to want stability, peace and harmony as well. We expect 25 prominent Chinese, 25 prominent Indians and 25 of the others to respond in a like fashion.
But before these Groups of 25 put their joint views in print, it must be assumed that our beloved Malaysia is a different place today than when it was in 2003 ! Why ?
First, the World has totally changed since 9/11 which took place just before 2003. We are now faced with a full-fledged War on Terror. The rest of the information we could see on the TV every day or night.
Second, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat do not have the benefit of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s leadership with his experience, wisdom and compassion. And this has been a long time 2004 to 2014 – 10 years.
Third, it was recently discovered that our beloved Malaysia has the much tested and reliable MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS which served us well from 1957 to 2914 as diametrically opposed to SINGAPORE’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY A SINGLE RULER, 1959 – 2014. This is the nub of Malaysian Politics as it is historically recorded in history when Singapore’s PAP was in the Dewan Rakyat, 1963 to 1965. The retreating PAP founded the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which was left in the charge of a former aide of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew.
What is the difference between the MALAYSIAN STYLE DEOMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS and the SINGAPORE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CRAFTED BY THE RULER ?
In Malaysia, we should consider ourselves fortunate that we have the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the ancient Royal Houses, the Constitution, the BN Government, the good Rakyat, the natural recources in a strategic geo-political location. Our Foreign Policy is friendly to all countries. We have stability, peace and harmony. Our focus has always been on a wise and experienced leadership like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s 22 Administration and his predecessors. We have a REAL DEMOCRACY.
In Singapore, the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY THE RULER WHO IMPLEMENTS IT BY APPARATCHIKS through a Golden Mean Equation bolstered by the CPF-HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Water Conservation Tax-Free subsidised Malaysian water-Public Utilities-Meritocracy-the Civil Service-the Judiciary-the Military of foreign mercenaries. All money legally goes to the Government. In the case of the CPF, a distribution dividend of 3.5% per annum is paid which maybe the same as the official inflation rate. A simple illustration of this dainty legally crafted chain for the people is that during the NEP, Malaysia produced 7 1/2 ex-Singaporean multi-billionaires who are now Singaporeans again. The Singaporean multi-billionaires date from pre-1959 days up to 1990. Since then, foreign billionaires were imported to boost the GDP. Singapore’s obsession with MONEY MONEY MONEY has turned its ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM TOXIC because 50% of its citizens want their CPF money back. In September 2013, Russia awarded an academic medal to Lee Kuan Yew together with 3 other academics. In 1992, China’s Deng Xiao Peng commented.’ They administer well. We eill do better than them.’ Russia and China, both authoritarian Staes adopt a similar political and social System as Singapore. But Wkileaks revealed the Singapore is very close to the United States.
Vide. ‘ The Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew.’ This book shows very clearly that in a tiny place it is difficult to have separation of powers, the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary. The ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the ex-Civil Servants, the ex-politicians all lined up to contribute this FESTSHRIFT TO THE BOSS.
Fourth, without a rich and credible Opposition, our Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalisitc Characteristics is not complete. On the one hand, the Opposition has the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP with its newly found political baggage which is labelled the SINGAPORE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CRAFTED BY THE RULER. On the other, we have the very rich PKR and the good PAS.
IS THE OPPOSTION PARTIES, THE DAP, THE PKR THE PAS WITH DIRECTLY OPPOSING PHILOSOPHIES WORKABLE AND HOLISTIC ( I copy ) ?
ARE THEY SUITABLE FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND ITS RAKYAT, NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE REAL POLITICAL SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IS ? It is legally crafted by the Ruler for the sole benefit of the State which is controlled by the Ruler, 1959 to 2014 ! During this period, our beloved Malaysia has had 6 DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTERS. Sauce only for the goose but none for the gander !
I am here because I respect the Tun for his fortitude, commonsense, ability to think out of the box ( no Dr Alafred Winsemius for him ), compassion, and last but not least, NEVER THINK OF ANY LEGAL TRICKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE RAKYAT. By being a NORMAL person instead of a megalomaniac, the Tun became MALAYSIA’S GREAT STATEMAN OF THE WORLD. And he is a Malay.
My felicitations to the Group of 25 Prominent Malays.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! Only the Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalistic Characteristics for us !
Tun
Sorry Sir ! I found another TAX BENEFIT FOR THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT OF THE RULER. It is the FREE AND SUBSIDISED WATER WHICH IS PAID BY OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO DELIVER TO SINGAPORE as our Ringgit goes South. To update the THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION THUS :-
CPF-HDB-Quit & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-COE-Water Conservation Tax-Free Water from Malaysia which paid to deliver-Public Utilities-Judiciary-Civil Service-Military. WHERE ELSE BUT SINGAPORE ? RUSSIA AND CHINA ? Is there any JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD ?
Tun
Sorry. I made a slip. An amendment.
3. DAP a party of ‘ ideas ‘ and ‘ hope ‘ for the future, says Lim. The Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP has had ideas and hope for over 48 years, 1966 – 2014 and no doubt for the next 48 years too – 2015 -2063.
Tun
Suddenly, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP founded by the retreating PAP in 1966 and did nothing whatsoever for 48 years spouted fire and brimstone with the following headlines.
1. PAKATAN MUST FINALISE PM CANDIDATE TO WIN GE 14 SAYS DAP.
2. DAP PLEDGES TO HELP PR SEIZE PUTRAJAYA
2 DAP A PARTY OF ‘ IDEAS ‘ AND ‘ HOPE ‘ FOR THE FUTURE SAYS LIME. – This was what the brilliant Ruler said in 1959 onwards before the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE ENSLAVED CITIZENS OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE !
First, the answer to this headline is straightforward.
Let the Honourable Lim Guan Eng be proposed as the candidate by the very rich PKR and the good PAS for the post of the Honourable Pirme Minister of Malaysia. Why beat around the bush since the the spiritual head and spiritual homeland want this hallowed job so badly to save themselves for want of a LEBENSRAUM which is our beloved Malaysia. Let us call a spade a spade and not something else.
Second, like Rober Bruce of Scotland, the ultra communistic DAP which is a faint shadow of its brilliant progenitor should win in the FOURTH ATTEMPT IN ITS COCKSURE PLEDGE TO WIN PUTRAJAYA FOR THE VERY RICH PKR AND THE GOOD PAS having FAILED IN 3 EASY STEPS IN 1998, 2008 AND 2013 !
Third. the Festschrift published by 11 Apparatchiks in honour of the Boss included the ex-President and the ex-Chief Justice of Singapore, ‘ BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW.’ certainly has no peer in its determination to show ABSENCE OF SEPARATION OF POWERS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST, CRONYISM, LACK OF PROPRIETY, EGALITARIANISM AND PROFESSIONALISM IN A TINY REPUBLIC THE SIZE OF SINGAPORE. This is a WORLD’S FIRST IN PRINT – THE FINEST WORK IN ARROGANCE EVER ! They are so brilliant that they just ignore the World’s traditional conventions and laws.
So, with the thick skin brilliants of the tiny Republic of Singapore, what do we expect from the SINGAPORE TROJAN HORSE DAP WHICH IS NOT LED BY TRUE AND REAL OXBRIDGE AND IVY LEAGUE TYPES. It can only be a SHAM LIKE THE ENSLAVED CITIZENS OF THE TINY ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE TINY REPUBLIC WHICH IS GOING TO END IN GRIEF AND TEARS !
Where are you the very rich PKR and the good PAS sleeping with ULTRA COMMUNISTS ?
And Uncle Sam too ? TINY SINGAPORE IS LIKE A COMBO OF CASTRO CUBA AND DOC DUVALIER AND JACQUE’S HAITI ! Where are you Uncle Sam ? The DONKEY from the LAND OF THE FREE egged on by the tiny spying ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SINGAPORE TO DO IN THE FREE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS via the TPPA ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! It is my firm belief that the Americans will only fight for FREEDOM, the British and the French for money !
Tun
For Mr Lim Kit Siang only.
Mr Lim since your recent outburst on the internet which caught my eyes with the following headlines, I have made some factual and fair comments on your one-liners The headlines in recent days were alleged to be by you.
KIT SIANG BLAMES DR M FOR MAS WOES.
STOP THE POPPYCOCK OLD MAN DR M TOLD.
It is OK. This is a free MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISTC CHARACTERISTCS UNLIKE THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON TINY SINGAPORE BY THE BRILLIANT RULER AND HIS REDOUBTABLE APPARATCHIKS. It is OK.
However, any coment on MONEY MONEY MONEY which the politics in this country entails is not complete WITHOUT MENTIONING THE 7 1/2 SINGAPOREANS WHO BECAME MALAYSIAN MULTI-BILLIONAIRES DURING THE NEP, 1971 – 1991. Let us look at the FACTS.
From 1959 – 1991, the tiny Republic of Singapore with its ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS IMPOSED BY THE BRILLIANT RULER ON ITS CITZENS DID NOT PRODUCE A SINGLE GROUND ZERO MULTI BILLIONAIRE ! All the billionaires during this period originated from the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945 (and onwards to 1959) where hard business lessons were learnt by the budding entrepreneurs. Mr Lim please go and check !
From this list of 7 1/2 ex-Singaporean Malaysian multi-billionaires who became Singaporeans now, there is one who is of mixed parentage. It was alleged he is the off-spring of a Korean soldier in Taiwan. Why I select him is because his behaviour represents what our beloved Tun placed on those whom he trusted explicitly and was abused. As I said before it is the closest aides and those who were given a bite of the largesse LET TUN DOWN IN ALL THE SCANDALS AS RECORDED AND THEY SHOULD TAKE THE BLAME ! You may also remember my other friend who was honest and loyal to Tun and there was NO SCANDAL.
Concerning this strange person, my friend was a non-executive Director of a major blue chip company listed in Singapore. He was there because he represented certain Malaysian institutional interests. One fine day, in 1992, my friend received a call from this strange person to resign forthwith or he would be sacked from the Board by way of an EGM. My friend already knew what this strange person wanted – to replace my friend as Director so that he could sell the prime pieces of properties in Petaling Jaya and Ardmore Park, Singapore quickly and maybe cheaply to his friends. What this strange person did not know was that my friend was a good friend to the buyer of the Petaling Jaya property who invited him to his penthouses many times and that the Ardmore Park property was sold to another friend who invited my friend to lunch with him at the Peninsula Hotel, Tsimsatsui, Hong Kong. My friend quickly resigned to watch the expected fun in conflict of interest to be created by this strange man using the good name of his patron which indeed happened as described above.
But before this, the strange man was boasting at the Singapore Island Golf Club to Dr Goh Keng Swee and his cohorts and my friend’s cousin that the could do anything in KL as he got the good and the great by the ears. MONEY MONEY MONEY, This is an abuse of his patron’s trust. There you are Mr Lim, this is a TRUE AND FACTUAL EXAMPLE HOW THOSE ENTRUSTED BY OUR TUN MISUSE HIS TRUST IN THEM.
This strange man made so much MONEY MoNEY MONEY that he only collects Stradivarious violins selling at USD 5 millions each which he on lend to the Singapore Philharmonic Orchestra but not the KL Ochestra. Originally, he was a lowly factory hand in JB.
This is not the only TRUE STORY MR LIM. Here is another where trust was abused by those who had a bite at the largesse.
In 1987, my friend struck a deal with a blessed one. The October 1987 Crash came. The blessed one who was earmarked to fly to the Sun like Icarus, reneged on the deal. Not only that, he accused my friend of doing, quote ” an unkindest cut of all on him by telling everyone on the golf course. ” Fortunately, my friend did not play golf. This is another instance in which a beneficiary abused his patron’s trust !
Finally, my friend was called up to the big man’s office in Jalan Riong in 1988. He was made to wait 1 whole hour. He was called in and told, ‘ You do note vote against my friend.’ and was dismissed . He is now taking a busman’s holiday. Another case of abuse of the trust which his patron had given him’
THESE 3 TRUE STORIES UNDERLINE THE THOUGHTLESS ABUSE OF POWER WHICH THESE PARTICIPANTS APPLIED ON MY FRIENDS WHOM THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD BULLY. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE OF THEIR WEAKNESS OF CHARACTERS.
Mr Lim, please do not blame Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for the character weaknesses of others who were given a bite of the largesse. I hope these 3 true stories will convince you without the politics or whatever.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
The 7 1/2 ex-Singapore billionaires became rich in MALAYSIA AND NOT THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE ! Check again Mr Lim.
Tun
For Mr Lim Kiat Siang.
It seems appropriate at the present time to pose a few questions at the leader of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP from the home of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF SINGAPORE WHICH IS IMPOSED BY THE BRILLIANT RULER ON THE CITIZENS AND IMPLEMENTED BY THE APPARATCHIKS THROUGH A GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION BOLSTERED BY THE CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-GST-COE-WATER CONSERVTION TAX-INCOME TAX-PUBLIC UTILITES-MERITOCRACY-JUDICIARY-CIVIL SERVICE-MILITARY. This Political System is adopted by both Russia and China. In 2013, Russia awarded an academcic medal to the Ruler with 3 other academics for his ‘ academic excellence ‘. In 1992, Deng Xiao Peng on a visit to Southern China commented, ‘ They administered well. We will do better than them !’
Where are you the very rich PKR and the good PAS ?
Malaysia has the Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalistic Characteristics diametrically opposed to Singapore’s one Ruler’s ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM WITH APPARATCHIKS vide. ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew ‘.2014. 11 Apparatchiks including the EX-CHIEF JUSTICE OF SINGAPORE personally wrote and published this FESTSCHRIFT TO THE BOSS. Separation of Powers ? Conflict of Interests ? It is shown that it is difficult to do a BIG country act in a SMALL place.
Mr Lim, it is alleged that you have said the following in recent days which I believe you hope to draw attention to the righteiousness of the Opposition cause as led by the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, the very rich PKR and the good PAS :-
‘ KIT SIANG BLAMES DR M FOR MAS WOES. ‘
‘ STOP THE POPPYCOCK. OLD MAN. DR M TOLD. ‘
These false allegations were directed at Malaysia’s greatest Statesman and of the World. I can categorically say this because I did not receive any money, favours or titles from the Tun. His achievements for the Rakyat and the World are many. But here is a short list.
1. Whilst the leadership of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP spent 48 years by fiddling their thumbs and contemplated their navels, divided our Nation by shouting the Ruler concocted. ‘ Malaysia for Malaysians ‘ ( The Singaporean Opposition now shouts, ‘ Singapore for Singaporeans ‘ ) and took part in demonstrations which lasted only 3 hours ( See the real Hong Kong demonstrations which can last over 3 months inclusive of a fasting Chinaman ), our beloved Tun created the 3 MILLION FAMILLIES STRONG MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP DURING HIS 22 YEAR ADMINISTRATION WHICH BROUGHT UP THE 3 MILLION FAMILLIES STRONG NON-MALAY MIDDLEC INCOME GROUP THROUGH THE PURCHASES OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES in stability, peace and harmony. EVERYONE GOT RICHER definitely the OPPOSITION TOO !
Where else, Mr Lim, but in our beloved Malaysia during the Tun’s 22 year Administration ? Where else in the WORLD Mr Lim ? Singapore ?
At the same time, the indigenous population of the tiny ULTRA COMMUNISTIC REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE with its BRILLIANT RULER, 1959 – 2014, WAS SCREWED DOWN FROM 100% to 62% in 2013. Vide. The Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population. 2013. There is now a desperate importation of Chinese and Indian bodies into the Republic. Billionaires are welcomed to boost the eternal GDP ! MONEY MONEY MONEY !
On the one hand, Mr Lim, our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad UPLIFTED A GROUP OF MALAYSIANS IN THE INTERESTS OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC JUSTICE FROM COLONIAL EXPLOITATION. On the other, we see the brilliant Ruler did all sorts of zany things which were unbecoming of a brilliant alumnus of the great University of Cambridge – 28 Failed Policies for the people of Singapore. For example, Singapore stooped so low as to spy on the personal lives of full-blooded Malaysians and then passed on this smelly and unmentionable information to its peers. Only the British traitors did this, Blunt, MacClean and Burgess. Vide Wikleaks.
2. Miscellaneous achievements of our beloved Tun are so many and are recorded. I like to point out that our Tun did not have DR ALFRED WINSEMIUS, THE DUTCH UN ECONOMICS EXPERT BY HIS SIDE TO GUIDE HIM. All the infra-structure development, Putrajaya, KLIA, Petronas Towers etc came from his ORIGINAL THINKING, A MALAY. Dr Winsemius was the Singapore Government’s Adviser, 1961 – 1984 who laid out the INFRA STRUCTURAL PLAN WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL AS WE CAN SEE WITH OUR EYES. But the development of human resources were left to the brilliant Ruler who SCREWED DOWN THE INDIGENOUS POPULATION TO 62%, REMOVED MOST OF THE PRECIOUS PLACES OF WORSHIP, WIPED OUT THE CHINESE VERNACULAR SCHOOL SYSTEM AND NANTAH, 300,000 of his supporters emigrated, established a full-fledged military of 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkhas brigades, F-35s, drones, AWACS, APACHES, Hercules, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, long range artillery, humongous balloons, spies, swallows, ducks, journalists, tycoons etc, bomb-proofed buildings, secret caverns, a S$ 2 Billion water strategic reserve, bomb-disposal squads etc for the protection of the 0.01% on top of the 1% elite.
These are the FACTS MR LIM, NO MORE. NO LESS.
AND MR LIM, THE OPPOSTION WITH THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP HAD 3 CHANCES TO WIN PUTRAJAYA IN 1998, 2008 AND 2013 if they had undertaken the following 3 EASY STEPS. Why quarrel on and on, and on concerning TRIVIAL MATTERS LIKE THE NATURAL SENILITY OF DISTINGUISHED PERSONALITIES, ETC. whilst the BIGGER SCOPE OF PREVENTING DEATHS AND INJURIES TO THE YOUNG AND INNOCENT IS FORGOTTEN. I would have thought we all should care for the health and welfare of the Rakyat always, Mr Lim ?
THE 3 EASY STEPS.
1. In 1998, if the Honourable Deputy Prime Minister had taken a busman’s holiday to Disneyland, USA with his family, he would have returned as the HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA. He paid the price by listening to his KITCHEN CABINET which is now stronger with the BN !
ONE EASY STEP !
2. In 2008, if the 32 Aduns had been on side BEFORE AND NOT AFTER the 12th General Elections, the OPPOSITION WITH THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP WOULD HAVE ALREADY WON 2 General Elections. The Opposition need not resorted to do 3 hour demonstrations which put the innocents in jeopardy and picked little quarrels with others to gain attention. AND THE OPPOSITION VICTORY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE COST NO MONEY !
ONE EASY STEP !
3. In 2013, if the Opposition with the SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP had declared a 100 day hunger strike and checked into the KUALA LUMPUR GENERAL HOSPITAL THIRD CLASS WARD, they would have had the World’s journalists baying to get in for that precious interview. THE BN WOULD HAVE WON ALL THE SEATS WITH 47% OF THE VOTES TO A HUGE INTERNATIONAL OUTCRY. The Opposition with the SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP WOULD BE IN SADDLE SINCE MAY 2013 !
ONE EASY STEP !
But what happened Mr Lim ? Young and innocent people were either killed or injured because of the BAD LEADERSHIP OF THE OPPOSITION WITH THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LOOK FAR BUT ONLY AT THE TINY ULTRA COMMUNISTIC REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AS LED BY THE BRILLIANT RULER 1959 – 2014 WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE APPARATCHIKS. This tiny place is going to be like the Dodo of Mauritius or in colloquial terms, Palembang.
MALAYSIA BOLEH MR LIM ! MALAYS BOLEH MR LIM ! MALAYSIANS MR LIM ! AGREE MR LIM !
Tun
Just in case the good Mr Lim condemns me for writing a lot of rubbish or poppycock, here is another true story of how a person’s character is paramount in the business of business or politics. This true story also illustrates if there is a will, there is a way.
In the mid-1970s, my friend was tasked with turning round the biggest corporate bankruptcy scandal of that time. MIDF and the Consortium of Banks gave him not a single sen to do so. Privately, MIDF and the Bankers gave him two weeks to runaway from this forbidden task.
These were the tough cards my friend had to play to win against all odds.
1. A factory which was deliberately designed for the founder to cheat – re-conditioned machinery from pre-war Poland.
2. A tough market consisting of Gujeratis, Hakkas, Sindhis, Sikhs etc. – the toughest traders in South East Asia.
3. Not a single sen from the MIDF and the Consortium of Banks unlike the billions and billions of ringgits now tossed around without any meaning.
4. It was a Hobson’s Choice type of Proposal for my friend to fail.
My friend who was paid only RM 7,000 per month unlike the super duper types now paid from RM 1 Million to RM 10 Million a year, stayed for 9 long years and made millions of ringgits for the shareholders of this bankrupt company and saved the jobs of 1,200 employees. He drove an Alfa Romeo throughout. By the second year, he turned round the company. From the 7th year onwards he made milions and millions of ringgits with no money but only his will and skills. At the end, the MIDF and the Consortium of Banks behaved as though they did not know my friend. The once bankrupt Company was re-structured and has been re-listed on the Bursa since 1984. My friend was not a shareholder. It was his discipline and training which stood him in goodstead. Money and the easy soft options of life were not his cup of tea – only the sucessful and honourable completion of a project was what drove him.
There you are Mr Lim. Another true life story of a person with good character and loyalty who will surmount any mountain or beat all odds. Therefore, I submit again THAT OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WAS LET DOWN BY HIS CLOSEST AIDES AND THOSE WHO BENEFITED FROM THE PRIVATIZATION LARGESSE. It is their CHARACTER WHICH SHOULD TAKE THE BLAME BY KEEPING MUM, not Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
Two absurd screaming headlines yesterday and today.
‘ KIT SIANG blames DR M for MAS woes.’ and ‘ Stop the poppycock, ‘ old man ‘ Dr M told. ‘
With due respect to Mr Lim Kit Siang, I beg to differ on his personal view of political and socio-economic history during the Tun’s 22 year Administration. The problem with the Opposition since losing the 13th General Elections by one easy step, is that they have now resorted to attacks on false and minor issues which do not befit them as politicians. And sometimes they resort to simple minded insults or abuses.
We must also note that Mr Lim the redoubtable leader of the Singaporean Trojan Horse has spent a dedicated lifetime grooming this horse. But of late this Trojan Horse has been found wanting as to its progeny. It must be remembered that the Trojan Horse DAP was founded by the retreating PAP in 1966.
Despite the best efforts in brainwashing and currying favours from super powers by the brilliant Ruler of the tiny Republic as exposed by Wikileaks with the total deployment of spies, swallows, ducks, humongous balloons, journalists and tycoons vide. the naive friendly and hospitable NSTP Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014, the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH THE ISA AND THE SEDITION ACT AS IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE RULER WITH THE SUPPORT OF APPARATCHIKS HAS GONE TOXIC. Where are you Vice President Joe Biden ?
With this interesting background of Mr Lim and his Muslim political cohorts or digits, maybe it is time that the honourable adun since 1966 let us, the Rakyat know what is his political stand on the hot issue of ULTRA COMMUNISM AS PRACTISED IN SINGAPORE AS COMPARED WITH THE MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS AS PRACTISED IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ! It is time Mr Lim’s Muslim political cohorts or digits are aware who they are sleeping with in political terms but not otherwise.
ULTRA COMMUNIST OR MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRAT ? What about the slogan ‘ Malaysia for Malaysians ‘ when in Singapore the Opposition cries, ‘ Singapore for Singaporeans.’ and the Ruler is silent on this ? How Mr Lim ? How ?
And finally, as I am a person who has not benefited from our beloved Tun Dr Mathathir Mohamad at all in terms of money, favours or titles,
I CATEGORICALLY STATE THAT THE SCANDALS AS RECORDED WERE MAINLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE WAS LET DOWN BY HIS CLOSEST AIDES OR BY THE CHARACTER OF THOSE WHO WERE ENTRUSTED WITH MANAGING THE PRIVATISED GOVERNMENT GLCs.
And the BLAME GAME OF MR LIM AS ALLEGED IS FALSE.
How could a busy Prime Minister of Malaysia, a country of 23 millions with a coastline of thousands of kilometres be bothered with micro-managing every business of the day ? Unlike, the brilliant Ruler of the tiny Republic of Singapore who could micro-manage the hapless citizens and could swoop in his luxurious Jaguar at mid-night along Orchard Road to see everything is in place especially the flower-pots ?
Politics is a very serious business, ladies and gentlemen and should not be given to FRIVOLOUS AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS AT ANYTIME, NOT EVEN TO UNEMPLOYED POLITICIANS IN WAITING.
I CAN CATEGORICALLY STATE THAT I KNOW A FRIEND WHO WAS GIVEN THE VERY FIRST TASK BY OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD. MY FRIEND BLUNTLY TOLD THE GOOD PRIME MINISTER THAT THE TASK COULD NOT BE DONE. There was no scandal. THIS WAS THE ONLY SCANDAL WHICH WAS AVOIDED BECAUSE MY FRIEND WAS HONEST AND LOYAL AND GAVE A HOLISTIC ( I copy ) ANSWER TO A TASK WHICH WOULD DEFINITELY CREATE A SCANDAL IF MY FRIEND HAD TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE GOOD PRIME MINISTER’S TRUST LIKE ALL THOSE WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE SCANDALS ! My friend was not seduced by the cheap money, money, money !
It is the CHARACTER OF THE SCANDAL CREATORS WHO WERE THE PRIME MINISTER’S CLOSEST AIDES OR FORTUNATE BENEFICIARIES OF THE LARGESSE, which caused all those UNNECESSARY SCANDALS BY KEEPING MUM AND NOT REPORTING TO THE PRIME MINISTER THAT IT COULD NOT BE DONE.
We must truly put the blame on the right person, Mr Lim, and should not throw generalized allegations at the wind. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE INNOCENT PARTY and hoping some of the FALSE DIRT WILL STICK. Generally, there is a good chance that such a ploy will work BUT NOT THIS TIME OR THIS TYPE OF ALLEGATION MR LIM ! Try better next time, Mr Lim. Unfortunately, your alleged allegations have now become as old as the hills. Mr Lim !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! I like to explain why I say, ‘ Malays Boleh ‘. It is alleged you once said that you do not mind being the 3rd Deputy Prime Minister to the Prime Minister of Malaysia or words to this effect.
Tun
At the stroke of mid-night on 31st of December 2014, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat will emerge in fine fettle into another New Year, 2015, full of hope and aspirations of what we will achieve again in the coming year. We can do so because of our resilient and enduring MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH ITS OPEN CAPITALISITIC CHARACTERISTICS which had stood the test of time if not centuries.
But we always had a troubling thought about that once balmy and happy tropical isle of the tiny Republic of Singapore which has a crafty ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY ITS BRILLIANT RULER, 1959 – 2014. Who can deny that the Ruler controls all the citizen’s money LEGALLY after all he scored the best marks during his time at Cambridge ?
What really concerns us is that the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM HAS NOW GONE TOXIC WITHOUT A CURE LIKE EBOLA ! This System is the finest that can ever be devised by Humankind through the entrappment of the citizens’ wherewithal which is the money by STEEL CAST LEGAL MEANS. As often reported, the Ruler has always been the expert in his entrappment of countries like Malaysia and now his subjects through the ‘ Devil in the details.’ And yet, our trusted TPPA negotiators went through 19 highly secret negotiations with these squeaky clean Singaporeans by their side. Vide. NST, Streets Central Supplement. Page 8. March 8 2014. A colour picture is worth a thousand words !
Toxicity iin a political system like Communism and the Ruler of the tiny Republic of Singapore’s very own ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM arose because of a lack of compassion and the vital recognition of the human condition. A human being is a complex creature which natural desires cannot be suppressed or extinguish by any means. In Singapore, even with the very best brainwashing culled from the authoritarian countries and the Ruler’s brillliant achievement of long ago, eventually all these efforts will come to nought as it is now shown all over the World of the Net. THIS IS ONLY NATURAL.
But where will all these capers in the tiny Republic end ? With the huge importation of foreign Chinese and Indian bodies into the tiny isle with a hard-core of the indigenous population remain, there lies the rub. Will there be a clash between the new Chinese and the new Indians ? Will this be complicated by the participation of the indigenous population in the chaos to come ? Will the incumbent Governmnet like the Dutch boy putting his little finger into the tiny hole in the dyke ?
There is no doubt an ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM WHICH WAS CREATED BY THE RULER TO SERVE THE STATE MUST ALSO SERVE HIM SINCE HE IS THE RULER. 1959 – 2014.
An interesting observation is that the THINK TANKS AND THE ACADEMICS OF THE WESTERN WORLD are unaware of the REAL POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CONDITION OF SINGAPORE from 1959 – 2014. This is a flawed assumption by academics who should know better. Tun, you have mentioned the case of the financial fund managed by 3 Nobel Prize winners which ended belly up. Your comment illustrates that sometimes academics could be way off the mark. Vide. The Failure of Genius. 1994.
Whilst the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IN THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE HAS GONE TOXIC, our Malaysian Style Democracy with Open Capitalistic Characteristics is now going from strength to strenght.
YES ! WE ARE NOW SUFFERING LEAKS OF MONEY MONEY MONEY FROM OUR SYSTEM WHICH HAS NOT GONE TOXIC. This faults can be repaired but hopefully the PLUMBER IS NOT THE IMF !
I ventured into your Blog, Tun in August 2011. It is now December 2014. It has been a difficult task to be like the small boy in the Hans Christian Anderson Tale, ‘ THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES ‘. because all the subjects of the RULER, the World’s academics and many Malaysians thought he had his clothes on. And what actually brought the Ruler’s downfall ?
IT IS MONEY MONEY MONEY AND EVER MORE AND MORE MONEY ! It is crazy !

There are so many types of taxes in the tiny Republic of Singapore that I seem to find new ones all the time. The latest tax is the water conservation tax. Hence, the revised entities for the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS BOLSTERED BY THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-INCOME TAX-GST-COE-WATER CONSERVATION TAX-PUBLIC UTILITIES-MERITOCRACY-JUDICIARY- THE CIVIL SERVICE-THE MILITARY. I got a sneaky feeling I have missed some other taxes somewhere.

I have pleasure to submit the following references to support my comment on Compassion. In 1982, a young Singaporean tycoon was encouraged to go round the Singaporean schools to lecture to the schoolchildren that it was good to be GREEDY. What happens now in Singapore in 2014 illustrates that what goes round comes around when it comes to MONEY MONEY MONEY !

In a few days time, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat would have seen another 365 days of stability, peace and harmony with the exception of two unexpected events. This expectation of a better New Year has been the norm with us due to our tested and reliable MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS. The steadfastness of the BN Government through the years have given a fair measure of trust for the Rakyat that promises would be kept and our livelihoods and security are safeguarded. To complete our MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY we have the very rich Opposition playing their part. Fortunately, the Opposition uses the benchmark of the failed ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AS IMPOSED ON THE CITIZENS BY THE BRILLIANT RULER AS A BENCHMARK. It is now proven to be flawed with the awakening of its citizens to such a System.
This makes the job of the BN and its components to counter the Opposition arguments all the more easier. The Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is now stripped of any worthwhile defence or aggression because their brillaint spiritual leader has been exposed in the practice of an ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM COMPLETE WITH APPARATCHIKS which is flawed beyond redemption !
What is the difference between the tested Malaysian Style Democracy with its Open Capitalistic Characteristcs and Singapore’s Ultra Communistic Political and Social System ?
There is no necessity to explain the functions of the former which is practised in all Western democratic countries. On the latter, only two other authoritarian countries, Russia and China practise the System. In their gratitude in using this Ultra Communistic Political and Social System to save their pollitical dictatorships, Russian awarded the brilliant Ruler with an academic honour and China’s Deng Xiao Peng in 1992, commented, ‘ We will do a better job than them !’ A sort of sauce for the goose but not for the gander political System which benefits the 0.01% on top of the 1% elite. For Russia we have the oligarchs and China, the princelings. Singapore has the Apparatchiks and the untouchables.
In recent years since 2011, I began to look deeper into what made the balmy squeaky clean tiny Republic of Singapore clicked and punched above its weight. Since the Republic is such a tiny place, it is impossible to hide anything. And the vital lubricant in any Nation must be the MONEY MONEY MONEY POLICIES. With all the decades of brainwashing. the Singaporeans from the brilliant Ruler downwards to the taxi drivers think that they have better brain power and intellect than outsiders compounded by the brilliant Ruler’s wisecracks about his neighbours and the World.
I got curious and looked hard and deep at this wonderful tribe on this tiny tropical paradise. For example, the brilliant Ruler was alleged to have said at a China Economic Forum, ‘ The Taiwanese are ruthless. The Hong Kongers are shameless. The Singaporeans are ignorant.’ The Malaysians did not fit to be mentioned I presume.
However, with all the beautiful and brilliant people, why did the tiny Republic of Singapore failed ? At least 50% of the citizenry want back their CPF contributions. They have woken up from the deep brainwashed slumber after having given their trust to the brilliant Ruler since 1955. They have found only the 0.01% on top of the 1% elite can become very rich and that they will be impoverished till the end of their lives. Even the greatest thing in Singapore the HDB flat belongs to the Government after 70 or 99 years according to the tenure of the leases. They worked and lived for NOTHING.
Why is the Malaysian model of MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY WITH OPEN CAPITALISITC CHARACTERISTICS SO SUCCESSFUL ?
It is the practice of COMPASSION by all our distinguished Prime Ministers ! Our beloved Malaysia is made up of the Yang Di Pertuan Agong, the ancient Royal Houses, the Constitution, the BN Government, the Oppostion, the Rakyat. The Consititution safeguards Islam and the other religions. It is the practice of Islam by all the Muslims in our beloved Malaysia that we have more than a modicum of COMPASSION in our dealings everyday. By the same token, I studied the cruel and tight-fisted behaviour of the non-religious relatives and friends of mine through the decades. I found these people have NO RELIGION AND NO COMPASSION.
I found Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad through his kindness and compassion help everyone who sought his help before, during his 22 year Administration and thereafter. Some of those who benefited wanted more and more. His significant act apart from his ideas to build up the wonderful infrastructures we have today, is the CREATION OF THE MIDDLE INCOME GROUP OF MALAYS WHICH BROUGHT UP THE NON-MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP THROUGH THE PURCHASES OF GOODS AND SERVICES OF THE LATTER BY THE FORMER. This is COMPASSION at its finest.
There were no crafty thoughts to cream off these hapless folks of their hard-earned money of a life-time to be manipulated by him. Nor were there other thoughts to cream off the Rakyat’s money anywhere else.
But in the balmy squeaky clean tiny Republic of Singapore, the brilliant Ruler imposed a crafty but flawed ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM ON HIS CITZENRY which in practice only the 0.01% on top of the 1% elite benefited LEGALLY. There is no COMPASSION IN ALL THE POLICIES WHICH FAILED UP TO 2014. The brillliant Ruler has at least 28 failed Policies.
The Policy which did not fail is the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM FOR SINGAPORE. By its very nature, it is only a matter of time when it goes KAPUT like all authoritarian States because COMPASSION AND FAIRNESS IS NOT RECOGNISED.
There is no doubt that Godless people have not COMPASSION and will in time cause their own downfall.

Right before our eyes we see the unhappy events and thoughts concerning the distressed Singaporean citizens built up into INTERNATIONAL HEADLINES, the latest from London.

I cannot help but to highlight the commentaries from the disturbed citizens of the tiny Republic of Singapore which factually and truly expressed their slow awakening of the form or shape of the ULTRA COMMUNIST POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON THEM BY THEIR RULER.

Sir, it pays for all Muslim members and intending members of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to study factually and holistically ( I copy ) whether the DAP is ULTRA COMMUNIST WITH ITS POLITICAL AND SOCIAL BELIEFS OR NOT IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT THE PAP OF THEIR SPIRITUAL LEADER AND HOMELAND PRACTICES THIS FORM OF COMMUNISM LIKE RUSSIA AND CHINA ? What about the PK Opposition group with the very rich PKR and the good PAS ? Are these two good parties aligned with a crypto ULTRA COMMUNIST DAP ? The DAP was founded in 1966 by the retreating PAP !

We have established that the political systems of Malaysia and the Republic of Singaporre are as different as chalk and cheese.
It is worth further comment ( based on facts ) on the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE AND THE RULER BEHIND IT, ADMINISTERED BY APPARATCHIKS, BOLSTERED BY THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF THE CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-INCOME TAX-GST-COE-PUBLIC UTILITIES-MERITOCRACY-THE CIVIL SERVICE-THE JUDICIARY-THE MILITARY.
The Ruler with the brilliant legal mind and his spouse were founders of the PAP. The former scored a Star Double First in Law from the University of Cambridge after being barred from all the proper colleges because he did not have Latin. He entered the bottom most non-Collegiate Fitzwilliam House by the back door without sitting for the requisite open entrance examination and Latin.
In 1947, all the British universities have not fully recovered from a horrific war of attrition, the Second World War. The Ruler competed against a handful of war-weary and over age war veterans whilst he had the benefit of indulging in his law studies in Japanese Occupied Singapore. Whether he had the benefit of tutorials from unemployed lawyers for 3 1/2 years is unknown ? By the early 1950s, hundreds of the very best in the British Isles were crowding every faculty. It is now established the Ruler has a brilliant legal mind. At this stage of his life, he showed interest in politics of the British kind. And being an extrovert intellectual in a highly charged political environment of Great Britain with the onset of the Cold War and some earnest leftist as his Raffles College mates, it maybe conjectured that he studied all the political philosophies of the World during that period. We must not forget that here is a person deemed to a Ruler with a brilliant legal mind which in the future when he became a Ruler, the nitty-gritties of a legal document or Agreement are where an adversary like our beloved Malaysia is caught everytime with her pants down ! This proved to be so in the 1962 Water Agreement, the MSA Agreement, the CLOB, the Pan El Scandal, the Pulau Batu Puteh take-away, and the poisoned chalice TPPA – volumes of legal documents. Verbal agreements and hand-shakes are not recognised.
On the Ruler’s academic brilliance in law, this has not been duplicated by his children. Why ? If anyone of his children read law, they will never be able to beat an Englishman in his written language during peacetime conditions. They will probably have to compete against the very best in the same year which numbers at least 250 undergraduates per year compared with a handful of aged war weary veterans in 1947. Hence, mathematics or engineering was what his two sons read at Cambridge eg. 1+1 = 2. Full marks.
On the Ruler’s ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE, from sources on his younger days at the Raffles College as compared with his later years, there is no diifference in his character who always wanted to be the top dog in everything. However, it is alleged that he had a Third Class in the professional Bar Examinations London. His brilliant wife was placed 3rd in their year.
Up to his ascendancy as the Ruler of the entreport of Singapore in 1959, it is observed that not only he had the best brains surrounding him for over 25 years but also he had the wisdom to use the right kind of experts to further his ambitions for this tiny isle known as Singapore. The Singapore Government engaged the UN economics expert, Dr Alfred Winsemius, a Dutchman as Advisor 1961-1984. Winsemius produced the blue print for Singapore’s infra-structure development success. The human development was left to the Ruler to do accordingly. As we can now discern, this part of the Republic of Singapore’s development which is vital for sustainability and viability is now in shambles with the Ruler saddled with 28 Policy failures. We can only guess that this is due to the Ruler’s brilliant legal mind which is forever cautious that a slip-up could occur with taking care of the legal nitty-gritties. In simple terms, such behaviour can only be attributed to the lack of humanity and compassion. He once mentioned that at times, a person should grow barnacles in his heart ! And one result of the Ruler’s character is that 300,000 of his supporters left for foreign shores and the 100% indigenous population in 1959 was screwed down to 62% in 2013 ! He has to import foreign billionaires to push the GDP annually these days !
By the mid-1980s, with all the wealth created by the capitalistic component of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM as planned by Dr Winsemius, the Ruler began to note the tremendous wealth which he had generated for the citizens. These were the days when 100 lawyers legal firms were established. The legal fees were in the millions of Singapore dollars. In the mid-1980s, the Ruler had a game-changer lunch date with the top Civil Servant, Ngaim Tong Dow in which he first brought up the idea of the COE to garner more money from the populace. This eventually caused the much maligned CPF to drop its annual dividend to just 3.5% – a digit which just about covered the official inflation rate and the stipulated interest rate in the legal loans to the Government. In other words, the contributor got nothing. But nothing was worse than the fixed 3.5% interest payable annually by the Government for the CPF loans. Whatever it was, this was the last piece of action in place to CREATE THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM OF THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IN THE MID-1980s.
We may note that the famous friends of the Ruler like Henry Kissinger and Helmut Schmidt were never aware that their friend created an ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM ADMINISTERED BY APPARATCHIKS, BOLSTERED BY THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF THE CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-INCOME TAX-GST-COE-PUBLIC UTILITIES-MERITOCRACY-THE CIVIL SERVICE-THE JUDICIARY-THE MILITARY ! His consultants throughout must surely be the CIA, MI6 and Mossad. This gave rise to a flight of spies consisting of swallows, ducks, journalists and tycoons which culminated in the humongous balloon to spy on the reclamation activities of the Malaysians every minute of the day.
The character of the Ruler is also reflected in his dealings with his own citizens and his friendly neighbours. Because of the Thaksin caper, our friend Thailand is politically split with two coup d’tats on the Ruler’s face. The poisoned chalice TPPA which is inspired, created and furtively promoted by Singapore since 2005, will kill the Malaysians pronto. The Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays will suffer a fate worse than death. Abang adeks no more !
Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, the tiny Republic of Singapore has been an ANOMALY in the Western World. It is interesting to note when all the Western politicians, academics and fellow travellers will point their learned fingerS at this ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM WHICH WAS CREATED BY THE RULER ? Were they brainwashed by the two Communist prisoners, Chia Thye Poh and Dr Lim Hock Swee, kept in captivity as a showcase for as long as 32 years ? Who can deny that this Ultra Communistic System which only benefits the 0.01% on top of the 1% elites is not the same System which is practised by Russia and China today? How come the West kept on prodding Russia and China on being more open with their Systems and NOT SINGAPORE WHICH HAS THE SAME SYSTEM – APPARATCHIKS, OLIGARCHS, PRINCELINGS AND ALL ? Sauce for the goose but not the gander ?
To confirm the appreciation of Russia and China for the Ruler’s creation of a System which has both Capitalistic and Communistic characteristics, Russia awarded the Ruler with a medal together with 3 academics and Deng Xiao Ping commented,’ We can do a better job than them.’
Finally, it pays for all our honourable politicians, armchair critics and fellow travellers to study and recongise what the tiny Republic of Singapore really is – A DICTATORSHIP PROPPED UP BY THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CREATED BY THE RULER, ADMINISTERED BY THE APPARATCHIKS, BOLSTERED BY THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF THE CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-INCOME TAX-GST-COE-PUBLIC UTILITIES-MERITOCRACY-THE CIVIL SERVICE-THE JUDICIARY-THE MILITARY.

For all honourable Malaysian practising and arm-chair politicians !
Here is the final picture of the jig-saw puzzle which is the tiny Republic of Singapore and what makes it tick to punch above its weight !
IT IS THE APPLICATION OF THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IMPOSED ON ITS CITIZENS BY THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW ( with 28 failed Policies ) ASSISTED BY APPARATCHIKS THROUGH THE GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION OF THE CPF, HDB, QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT, INCOME TAX, GST, COE, PUBLIC UTILITIES, MERITOCRACY, JUDICIARY, CIVIL SERVICE AND THE MILITARY.
The key policy is the MONEY MONEY MONEY Policy whereby all monies are sucked legally into the Government’s coffers. These funds are controlled and managed by the Ruler. The Political System is ULTRA COMMUNISTIC because it is no different from what is PRACTISED TODAY IN RUSSIA AND CHINA. The West called them AUTHORITARIAN. In other words, THESE TWO GIANT NATIONS COPIED THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW’S CREATION AFTER HIS STUDY OF DIFFERENT POLITICAL PHILOSOPHIES AND THEIR PRACTICES. There is no doubt that his ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM is better than COMMUNISM. As a result of their appreciation of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s creation which gave them a loop-hole to transform and save the Communist Parties in Russia and China that he was awarded and lauded. I wondered for years why these 2 countries did this. Now through my discovery of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM FOR THE TINY REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE, I came across the following award and accolades to him from his comrades :-
1. RUSSIA. Russkiy Mir Foundation. September 12 2013. President Putin signed a decree awarding the Russian Order of Honour to Singapore Economic Miracle Author Lee Kuan Yew for his big contribution to the friendship and co-operation with the Russian Federation…..as a prominent scholar and economist…
The Russian president also gave the high award to other foreign citizens using the same expression of gratitude in his decree eg
i) Director of the Prado Museum, Spain. ii) Professor of Russian Studies, Helsinki University iii) Rector of Granada University, Spain. iv) Diplomatic Advisor to the Italian President.
Russia just treats the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew as an academic and praised him with the word ‘big’ taking cognisance of his character. A Freudian slip-up ?
2. CHINA. Deng Xiaoping. During the Southern Tour of China in 1992, Deng Xiaoping said, ‘ SINGAPORE’S SOCIAL ORDER IS RATHER GOOD. ITS LEADERS EXERCISE STRICT MANAGEMENT. WE SHOULD LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND WE DO AN EVEN BETTER JOB.’
Both Russia and China were aware of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s modified Communistic systme which was applied in the tiny Republic as the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM. They realised this BASTARDISED COMMUNIST SYSTEM is the way to go for their iron-clad Communism which imploded and led them to no where. Hence, Russia’s use of the word ‘ big’ in her laudatory message in keeping with the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s character and Deng’s comment, ‘ Singapore’s Social Order is rather good.’
UNFORTUNATELY, THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM IS ON THE VERGE OF IMPLODING due to the lack of humanity and compassion. Maybe the same will happen in the Systems as adopted by Russia and China in the future. Both countries have very wealthy elites living off the Systems like the tiny Republic of Singapore.
FINALLY, THE APPARATCHIKS INCLUDING THE EX-CHIEF JUSTICE OF SINGAPORE PUBLISHED A FESTSCHRIFT TO THEIR BOSS ‘ THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW ‘. This publication shows how difficult it is to separate ‘ THE EXECUTIVE, THE LEGISLATURE, THE JUDICIARY ‘ from one another in a tiny one street REPUBLIC ! I would have thought the loyalties of these Apparatchiks are to the Republic only ! NO COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM CAN BE ADMINISTERED WITHOUT THE APPARATCHIKS ! Hence, in the tiny Republic we have the Ruler, the Apparatchiks and the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM ! Uncle Sam where are you ?
The ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM AS CREATED BY THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW WITH HIS 28 FAILED POLICIES is his only successful Policy so far. This System is CONFIRMED BY THE APPRECIATION AS RECORDED BY RUSSIA AND CHINA. And the purposeless Festschrift to the Boss by the Apparatchiks.
IT AUGURS WELL FOR ALL MALAYSIAN PRACTISING AND ARM-CHAIR POLITICIANS TO STUDY THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW’S ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM and face REALITY when the Singaporeans sit across the negotiating table. They are here for keeps with their infamous legal nitty-gritties which caught the naive, hospitable and firendly Malaysians on the wrong foot in the (i) 1962 Water Agreement (ii) MSA Agreement (iii) Pan El Scandal (iv) CLOB (v) Miscellaneous. TPPA ?

Through a study of the tiny Republic of Singapore’s political and social system, it is now established that what made it ticked was the introduction of a ULTR COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM since 1987 by the Ruler. All the citizens monies were funneled through a Golden Mean Equation consisting of the CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-INCOME TAX-GST-COE-MERITOCRACY-JUDICIARY. There is no running away by the 99.99% of the citizens from this entrapment of a lifetime,
Naturally, we ask ourselves is such a ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM AS APPLIED ON SUCH A SMALL POPULATION IN SUCH A TINY SPACE SUSTAINABLE ? I believe the Ruler being a brilliant legal minded scholar was aware long long ago of the different political and social systems of the World which may be modified and made applicable to the Republic of Singapore. The final piece of his planning was put in place by the reduction of the CPF dividend to 3.5% in 1987 after the lunch with Ngiam Tong Dow, the then Chief Secretary. So far so good. The reason why the Singaporean citizrn kept mum about such a terrible and unannounced raid on their pocket books is that apart from being brainwashed, they were quite scared of the Ruler by 1987. This is why whenever the Ruler’s name is mentioned even in Kuala Lumpur, everyone looked over their shoulders or refused to discuss or comment anything about him. Such is the power of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC METHODS AS APPLIED ON ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Already 300,000 of the Ruler’s supporters have registered their unhappiness with this ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM BY EMIGRATING. To maintain this ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM, the Ruler is artful to employ the very best APPARAKCHIKS by paying them well and tolerated their idiosyncrasies. But surprisingly also, these APPARATCHIKS including the ex-Chief Justice of the Republic of Singapore who proudly lined up for the fawning FESTSCHRIFT in honour of the BIG IDEAS OF THE BIG BOSS, did not display the slightest inkling what INJUSTICE this ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM is doing the the 99.99% of the populace ! There as nothing in the FESTSCHRIFT to enlighten us what made the Republic of Singapore ticked in monetary terms. Everything that is unbecoming is whitewashed over. The very fine set of Laws is of course lauded over and over again unlike our beloved Malaysia when we sometimes unmistakenly think we can do with LESS LAWS and paid the price of FEAR EVENTUALLY. OK. Clever APPARATCHIKS MANNED THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM ON BEHALF OF THE RULER.
What about the ordinary man or woman in the street of the Republic of Singapore ? They were in a dream after being pumped up with propaganda like, ‘ THE RUGGED SOCIETY ‘ ‘ SINGAPORE NAVY IS BEST IN THE WORLD NEXT TO THE UNITED STATES’ – a corvette was sunk when it collided with an Indonesion tanker. ‘ SINGAPORE’S FIRE BRIGADE IS BEST IN ASIA.’ ‘ SINGAPORE HITS ABOVE ITS WEIGHT ‘ This was before Singapore lost officiallly US$108 billions before 8 October 2008.’ SINGAPORE’S SOVEREIGN FUND ‘ Only Canada, Norway and the Gulf States qualify.
With the long recession, the international financial turmoil and the PAX AMERICA ETHOS, ‘ GLOBALIZATION, FREE TRADE, HUMAN RIGHTS ‘ which are actually anathema to the normal practices of the Republic of Singapore, the RULER is now caught between the DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. – the slow realization by his subjects that the GOLDEN MEAN EQUATION SUCKED UP NOT ONLY THEIR LIFE-LONG WEALTH BUT ALSO THEIR DESTINIES. In other words, the Government takes all with a VERY FINE SET OF LAWS AS PRAISED BY THE APPARATCHIKS IN THE FESTSCHRIFT but WITHOUT COMPASSION AND HUMANITY. How long can this ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT GOES ON IS ANYONE’S GUESS ?
Coincidentally, the CNN has just concluded a series on the COLD WAR which explained how COMMUNISM IMPLODED IN THE SOVIET UNION. At the end, the RULERS REFUSED TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON THEIR OWN PEOPLE. This caused the downfall of a repressive STATE.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! No ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM FOR US !

Another FESTSCHRIFT in honour of the Boss has been published. A sort of thank you a million book with contributions from 61 former Ambassadors and High Commissioners. Only former Korean Ambassador Park Sung Seek and the formeer Chinese Ambassador spoke their minds. The former wrote that Singapore has 3 Achilles heels eg
1. Democratic deficits
2. Economic inequality
3. Pseudo non-aligned foreign Policy

Then the former Chinese Ambassador criticised the present income distribution in Singapore. He was too polite to call it ULTRA COMMUNISITIC !

Actually, the ULTRA COMMUNIST SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE KICKED IN AROUND 1972 when moves were made to control everything including the sexual mores of the populace. This was topped of finally by the full control and legal utilization of a citizen’s wealth by the 0.01 % of the elites. Finally, the citizens woke -up in 2014 after 27 years after the last piece of control was in place. The factual revelations from Singapore :-

Communism as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, ‘ a political and social system whereby all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.’ The Republic of Singapore now practices ULTRA COMMUNISM which has been in place since 1987. In 1987, the CPF annual dividend was reduced to 3.5% for the first time and confirmed by the ex-Chief Secretary’s, Ngiam Tong Dow, in the 2013 September issue of the Journal of the Singapore Medical Association in his discussion with the Ruler on the question of garnering more revenue for the Government through the use of the COEs, a form of tax on motor vehicles. From 1987, the ULTRA COMMUNIST SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC was bolstered by the Ruler’s Golden Mean Equation which are the CPF, HDB, Quit & Assessment, Income Tax, COE, GST, Meritocracy. Judiciary. Every cent of the money acitivity of a citizen somehow ended up in the Governement’s coffers.
On the CPF, a person who contributes from the age of 21 to 69 would be paid a 3.5% dividend just enough to cover the inflationary rate. But for 48 years, the Government can turnover this legally borrowed sum of money many times like the Malaysian Chinese guy who could turn zero into RM100 millions by just churning and churning the money. Good question. HOW MUCH SECRET PROFITS DID THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT MADE FROM EACH CITIZEN IN HIS OR HER LIFETIME ?
On the HDB, the flats which are boxes of air, are built with the legally borrowed money from the citizens. The cost is not known. These are on sold to the CPF contributors with 70 or 99 year leases. In other words, a HDB flat owner owns nothing.
On the Quit Rent & Assessment, these are flexible unlike in Malaysia which are fixed for decades until someone wakes up.
On the Income Tax, no one in Singapore can work without paying Income Tax.
On the COE, this is a flexible tax.
On the GST, a tax which came out of the Labour Government of the United Kingdom.
On the dysfunctional Meritocracy, these are actually APPARATCHIKS who were well paid and live in a luxurious world of their own, a sort of latter day palace guards to overseer the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM AS PRACTISED IN THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE. This is confirmed by the latest book, a sort of FESTSCHRIFT for the Boss, ‘ BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW.’ All the APPARATCHIKS LINED UP HERE TO A T including the ex-Chief Justice, who authored the learned legal tome which showed how stupid the Malaysians were to give their territories away which other people fight to death to establish their SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM !
On the perfunctory Judiciary, the reason why it is perfunctory is clearly printed as a list of 11 good and great APPARATCHIKS OF ULTRA COMMUNISTIC REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE ! Nothing is better than a fine expression of intent. The separation of the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Civil Service could not achieved in the one street town of Singapore. Acheh, Uncle Sam !
If this is not an ULTRA COMMUNISTIC POLITICAL AND SOCIAL SYSTEM, WHAT IS ?
How come no naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysian asks the poignant question about the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, are you ULTRA COMMUNISTIC which is contrary to the established POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF OUR BELOVED NATION ? And what about those true blue Opposition parties, PKR and PAS ? Are they aware who they are REALLY SLEEPING WITH ? ULTRA COMMUNISTS OR NOT THAT SHOULD BE THE QUESTION ?

Our weekends nowadsys are not complete with a selection of the moans and the groans of the irate and entrapped Singaporean citizens about their Government which entrapped them through the legal nitty-gritties. The poisoned chalice TPPA inspired, designed, created and promoted by Singapore would have entrapped us through the nitty-gritties which are the specialty of thieir pukka lawyers. We already had a taste of the 1962 Water Agreement. But the entrappment of the human spirit to suck out the very last cent must be the World’s First in the tiny Republic of Singapore :-

A screaming headline in the New Straits Times November 10 2014 Page 13 , ‘ Trade agreement showdown at Apec meeting.’ written by Jayant Menon, an economist in the Asian Development Bank. The author is in favour of the more holistic grouping of countries as promoted by China known as the Free Trade Agreement for the Asia-Pacific. The United States is actually promoting the Republic of Singapore’s creation and designed speciially to kill off the Malays and the non-Malays riding as an ant behind the donkey. As it is now known that the poisoned chalice TPPA is a Singaporean creation of 2005 and only Brunei, Chile and New Zealand were the members in its initial launch in 2006. The United States became interested after October 2008 when the whole Western financial system was in a turmoil. And furtively Singapore pushed through 19 rounds of negotiations before our Malaysians realised what was happening. Obviously, the official Malaysian negotiating team are not aware of a country.s precepts of SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM. If Malaysia is interested in the FTAAP, has the TPPA negotiating team been compromised by its close proximity to Singapore and its agents ? Vide the naive, hospitable, friendly New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014. Do we require an unblemished team to deal with the FTAAP ?
It is clear that the poisoned chalice TPPA which was inspired and furtively promoted by Singapore will kill off the beloved Malaysia we know because of its Singaporean origins. To hide behind the United States and bash open the protective trade doors guarding Malaysia – this is guile at its rawest. The moment Malaysia signs, the flood of goods from Singapore will drown all the Bumiputra and non-Bumiputra businesses which go bankrupt and thousands of workers will be unemployed and BLAME THE BN GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR PLIGHT ! The BN Government falls from the sabotaging of the Malaysian economy via the TPPA and Singapore. Who takes the blame ? Vide Dr Rashmi Banga’s Paper ” UN Study Shows serious Losses For Malaysia After TPPA.’
The two Indian economic experts, Jayant Menon of the Asian Development Bank and Rashmi Banga of the UNCTAD New Delhi and Geneva, expressed the true opinions on the horrible aftermath if Malaysia signs the TPPA. The Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays suffer a fate worse than death.
The motive for the Free Trade Agreement for the Asia-Pacific is NOT furtively promoted by Singapore for her sole benefit but by China in her own interests, openly and transparently. Unlike Singapore which likes to ride the high horse all the time when dealing with Malaysia, China has no such bad behviour. However, it is only proper within the comity of friendly Nations that China’s FTAAP be given a fair hearing as its intention is clear- a win-win situation for trade and not with the surreptious intent of doing Malaysia in by her own hands drinking the poisoned chalice. When the new negotiating team is announced, they should bear in their minds that in interantional negotiations SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM should be foremost in their minds and not tell us that they did not know the dfference between selling our grandmothers downstream or give away ocean rocks for free when other fight for every inch of their land.

We naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians seem to sleep with all sorts of people, politically or otherwise without so much as a Selamat Malam. In the very serious business of Malaysian Politics we have groups of political parties sleeping togehter without much scrutiny as to the other fellow’s background. How embarassing it will be when a purported friend is found out to be a real enemy ! And so it is with the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which was founded by the retreating PAP Singaporeans. This Party did nothing from 1966 to 2014 but only did the secretarial job of dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s. This job was made much easier by the lush Government allowances and salaries. I worked out if such a person really exists from 1966 to 2014, he would be a ringgit millionaire many times over. A lucky person like this could easily have a legacy to look after his biological line. OK. But then, we were not born yesterday but today. Certain pertinent questions need to be asked and to be answered by the Trojan Horse’s mouth whether there is any hidden agenda like that as practised in its spiritual homeland of the small Republic of Singapore and an ULTRA-COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM AS PUT TOGETHER THROUGH THE RULE OF LAW BY ITS BRILLIANT RULER WITH 28 FAILED POLICIES ? If not, WHY NOT ? Politics in a diverse Nation like Malaysia is a very serious business where everything should be transparent and actions are beyond reproach like Caesar’s wife. But what irks all of us is the revelation of the POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IS BUT AN ULTRA-COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM TIED TOGETHER by the Golden Equation of the CPF-HDB–QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT-Income Tax-GST-Meritocracy-Judiciary which is all controlled by the STATE of SINGAPORE.
AND THE LATEST FESTSCHRIFT ‘ THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW ‘ a celebration volume of essays in honour of the BOSS has the FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE ALLOTTED THE 4TH PLACE OF THE HONOURABLE LIST OF TOP SINGAPOREAN CIVIL SERVANTS. This confirms WITHOUT ANY DOUBT THE NEXUS BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE, THE LEGISLATURE AND THE JUDICIARY OF SINGAPORE AT ONE SINGLE GLANCE. How to unravel this dastardly mistake is another Singapore Dollar 64,000 question. IT IS IN BLACK AND WHITE – CHAN SEK KEONG —-and finally as Chief Justice of Singapore. FACTS ARE FACTS. Will the BN or the DAP buy up the whole stock and show it or burn it ? This is another interesting question !
The aforementioned is a big big bungle of World Class Order. But then, the QUESTION ARISES, HOW COME TWO HOLISTIC MALAYSIAN POLITICAL PARTIES, PKR AND PAS SLEEP SO WELL WITH THE DAP A SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE FROM ITS HOMELAND SINGAPORE WHICH HAS BEEN PRACTISING ULTRA-COMMUNISM SINCE 1987. I would have thought this is against the religion.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! Let me have our Malaysian Democratic and Open Capitalistic Systems with the bad eggs anytime. NO CRYPTO ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM FOR ME.

What a coincidence that as I was commenting on the ULTRA-COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE, another glorifying book on the achievements of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore was published – THE BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW. The authors are distinguished Civil Servants of the Singaporean Government who served in the 2nd tier of the decision making machine governed by the Ruler from 1959 – 2014. The Rule of Law in the governance of the small Republic of Singapore is all pervasive. The oldest profession in the World is not mention but it is there in all its ancient glory. It is a ‘NO MISTAKE’ book of the very First Order as the Ruler is still around with the rod. The book expounds the Rule of Law at its very best. It is the Law which governs the thoughts and actions of this brilliant Ruler who never quite left the ancient portals of the University of Cambridge since 1949. Unfortunates, like you and me, Tun, due to circumstances beyond our control were forced to do something else and threw away our books after we left the portals of our universities. Our thoughts and actions were forced to conform to the general populace pattern of behaviour. But not so with the brilliant Ruler whose thoughts and actions were the same as those in 1949 ! Hence, this may be one reason why so many failed Policies, 28 of them, concerning the HUMAN ASPECT OF THE LIFE OF A CITIZEN OCCURRED DURING THIS BRILLIANT MAN’S WATCH ! As any doctor would advise us, too much of a good thing ( Rule of the Laws ) is bad for health. And a cursory glance followed by an in-depth study of this brilliant extraordinary man brings a great sense of realisation that if he with his brilliant mind had thought and acted NORMALLY he would have won the Nobel Prize by now. Where this ultimate Prize for this brillliant man is to be or not to be, that is the QUESTION ! So far so good ! This is suppose to be a brainwashing book on a BIG MAN WITH BIG IDEAS ! Where is the COMPASSION AS BEFITS ALL RULERS, BIG AND SMALL ?
A person cannot live by bread alone or a Ruler cannot live by MONEY MONEY MONEY ALONE. The Rule of Law as practised in the small Republic of Singapore is fine. Everything is in black and white. Perhaps, the small Republic is the first case in the World that an attempt was made by a very fine lega mind to rule by the Laws only. This was the impression I got from this BIG BOOK OF BIG IDEAS FROM A BIG MAN. The whole conundrum of essays lacked HEART AND SOUL of once a lovable place with its lovable denizens which was once known as the entreport of Singapore. How times have changed with MONEY MONEY MONEY and the once lovable inhabitants changed too. How sad ! When all is governed by the Rule of Law entirely and saddled with a POLITICAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM WHICH IS ULTRA COMMUNISTIC. THE BIG EQUATION OF CPF-HDB-QUIT RENT & ASSESSMENT, INCOME TAX, GST, MERITOCRACY, JUDICIARY. The communistic KILLER POLICY FOR ALL BUT THE TOPMOST ELITES. If this is not Ultra-Communism at work in all its glory, what is ? Uncle Sam, Uncle Sam, where are you ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! Give me our Malaysia’s bad eggs anytime BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME THE ULTRA-COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM OF SINGAPORE. DAP WHERE ARE YOU ? AND PKR AND PAS, the jolly good bedfellows ?

Normally, I would furnish the complaints by the irate and unhappy Singaporean citizens about their Singaporean Government on week-ends. However, as I have now reached a conclusion on the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POLITICAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SYSTEMS OF MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE which is far more exciting and enduring, I seek your kind permission to do so.
Malaysia has a political and socio-economic system which has never been tampered with since the pre-Merdeka days of yore. This Malaysian Democratic and Open Capitalistic System (MDOC) has stood us in goodstead through the decades. What has happened is not the failure or the shut-down of this System but the rise of corruption or bad eggs which have become more and more of a serious disease ! Of course with the proper political treatment this either could be reduced, contained or wiped out ! It is important to note that the MDOC System is still INTACT right up to 2014.
Singapore was a successful entreport before its separation from Malaysia in 1965. First, she had a capable team of economists, Dr Alfred Winsemius and Dr Goh Keng Swee. The former was the planner and the latter the implementer. Second, the raging Cold War 1948 – 1989 and the regional Wars like Vietnam and wars further away was a boon to the non-entreport activities of Singapore. Those were easy days of making money for the Republic. With the end of the COLD WAR, Uncle Sam came up with a brand new PAX AMERICA eg. ‘ GLOBALIZATION, FREE TRADE, HUMAN RIGHTS.’ These were anthema to the core activities of the Republic. The dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top were caught napping. But a conscious switch to make use of the CPF money legally to the fullest happened in 1987 when the declared dropped DOWN TO 4% for the very first time as recorded in the CPF Annals. There was no turning back to the present with 3.5%. This Policy change came about after the luncheon meeting between the Ruler and the Chief Secretary to the Government Ngiam Tong Dow. This conversation was published in the September 2013 Journa of the Singapore Medical Association ! The first inkling of the Ruler’s interest in garnering legally all money that was available for the Government’s coffers. And so it did happen !
With the addition of the much maligned CPF into the equation of the HDB-Quit Rent & Assessment-Income Tax-GST-Judiciary etc., we can see the complete makings of the ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM OF THE SMALL REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE. Not a single cent is left untouched by the Government. Even the Communist countries of the World today encourage its citizens to make MONEY. But here in the one Ruler Republic of Singapore, IT IS A COMPLETE WIPE OUT OF WEALTH BELONGING TO ITS VERY OWN CITIZENS !
An analysis show that when the PAP was hankering for power in the late 1950s, all sorts of promises were dished out to the populace. After 20 years of progress from 1965, unconsciously the mental attitudes and promises of the Ruler began to change with the sight of large sums of money being made by the populace. We may designate this 1980s period as the Golden Age of the Republic. But thereafter, from 1987, the pendulum of wealth swung right back to the Government until today when its very own citizens are impoverished by rising inflation, lack of jobs and the ugly spectre of the FTs ( foreign talents ). What a mess ! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SMALL REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IS SADDLED WITH AN ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM OF THE RULER’S OWN CREATION AND GUMPTION !
IT IS VERY CLEAR FOR ALL THOSE WHO KOW-TOW AND SALAAM THE RULER ACROSS THE STRAITS AND THINK THAT THE BROWN BROWN GRASS OF HONG LIM GREEN SINGAPORE IS HOME !
It is time also for all those who think the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP with their spiritual Ruler and spiritual homeland, Singapore are great to think again by not voting for them en masse up to more than 90+%. IT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT BY VOTING DAP YOU WILL GET THE ULTRA COMMUNISTIC SYSTEM ( UC ) NOW WORKING FULL BLAST TO MAKE ITS CITIZENS VERY POOR IN SINGAPORE AS COMPARED WITH OUR DYANMIC, RESILIENT AND VITAL MALAYSIAN DEMOCRACY AND OPEN CAPITIALIST SYSTEM ( MDOC ). What say you Uncle Sam ! Communist or non-Communist ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! No Ultra Communistic System as practised in the small Republic of Singapore for us Rakyat. You vote DAP you gets what you deserve !

Just as I was about to sign off, there popped up one of the finest commentary on the fables and foibles of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore. And this happened no sooner than the fact that I for the very first time compared the Singaporean Ultra Communistic System with our Malaysian Democratic and Open Capitalistic System. One commentator ‘Gilbert Louis’ a Singaporean mentioned also this Ultra Communistic System for the first time. What a coincidence !

How can a small place which is the Republic of Singapore, raises so many complaints from its own citizens against their PAP Government which they used to trust blindly ?

An unexpected screaming headline today, ‘Securities and derivatives markets disrupted due to power supply issues.’ At first glance, it was just a minor power glitch as was reported in the Singaporean Government owned Channelnewsasia. But Bloomberg News reported differently, ‘ Power supply shut-down for 144 minutes at the SGX’ ‘ What a world of difference in the art of brainwashing by the brainwashed operators of the Singapore Government media outlets. THIS WAS AND WILL BE THE BRAINWASHING TACTIC AS APPLIED ON US NAIVE, FRIENDLY AND HOSPITABLE MALAYSIANS SO MUCH SO THEY BECOME AGGRESSIVE AND UNHAPPY WITH THEIR BETTER LIFE-STYLES IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. This is how the brown brown grass of Hong Lim Park (Green) is turned into the green green grass of home in our naive, friendly and hospitable minds. Please note the British called Hong Lim Green. The Singapore Government called this 2 acres green a park giving the impression of many many acres in crowded hot and humid Chinatown, Singapore.
What has become of the balmy squeaky clean Singapore which has no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, cheating, lying, voyeurism, spying by swallows, ducks and tycoons. faking by fakirs etc. except profiteering and the money grab culture of its Government ? Not too long ago, the Singaporean citizens grumbling were heard loudly on the Web that most of the old power stations were sold away to foreigners. How could the Singapore Government explained that they were forced to do it after their horrendous official loss of US$108 billions on Wall Street in October 2008 ? How could they tell the World that there were Malaysians who were ungrateful to their own Government but grateful to other governments like Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom, to buy old and aged public utilities at top price just for the sake of not kow-towing to the Prime Minister ? These folks were so grateful that they threw their signature Italian opera parties in the Botanic Garderns in celebration of given the chance picking up such expensive old public utilities using subsidised public funds which they somehow inveigled to Singapore. What a dream in a brainwashed mind ! As always. like the UMNO folks in Selangor, such abnormal parties had to stop.
What is happening to the 3rd World to 1st World Singapore today ? A place where foreiigners outnumber the locals, the MRT stops with irregular regularity every other week or month. ( the Hong Kong MRT has an 99.99% efficiency ), power outage at its most important commercial nexus, the SGX, the unhappy citizens found to their dismay how their trust in their Government handling of their life-long savings were no better than the money changers in Change Alley, Collyer Quay albeit it was all perfectly legally, etc etc.- the sort of thing which may only happen once a while in a 3rd World country. And most disturbingly, a friend’s daughter who was given an ASEAN Scholarship had to return to good old KL to finish her tertiary course. She is now happily working in a respectable Malaysian institution. No jobs in Singapore ?
The signs of money money money decadence and complacency are now showing.

At the end of the day, the difference between our beloved, living and dynamic Malaysia and the Republic of Singapore may perhaps be summed up by the French renowned lawyer Montesquieu, ‘ THERE IS NO GREATER TYRANNY THAN THAT WHICH IS PERPETRATED UNDER THE SHIELD OF LAW AND IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE.’ Hi Uncle Sam where are you ?

Perhaps it is more correct to label the legalised CPF-HDB-Income Tax-Rates & Assessment-GST Policy in a small place as a form of ultra-communistic Policy in serving the interests of the elites. Such a heavy burden of taxes leaves the ordinary Singaporean citizen with NOTHING and becomes stone dead WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE WHICH IS THE CHERISHED RIGHT OF ANY HUMAN BEING !

It is surprising that the many irrefutable facts about the on-going decay in the once viable Republic of Singapore as masked by thick smoke and mirrors through the will of one man, the Ruler, do not really sink into otherwise healthy and sound minds of those who are brave enough to comment on this distinguished Blog. Everything that could be culled out of the system of this dying Republic is there for all to see. The daring legal use of the citizens’ CPF Trust money to buy and sell in the World’s market place, the crass interference in the domestic affairs of neighbours to disrupt their normal way of life, etc and the self-inflicted hara-kiri own her own citizens’ right to reproduce under the United Nations Human Right Charter etc. All these form a template for legalised enslavement of the ultra-communistic kind in the service of the elite because it is proven under the existing CPF-HDB-Income Tax Policy. An ordinary Singaporean citizen which makes up 99.99% of the population will end up with NOTHING. He has been HOLLOWED OUT ( I copy ) in his lifetime of hard-work.

A screaming headline in a Blog today, ‘TPPA may further erode workers rights’. The report alleged that the Government is going to amend certain sections of this Act to accommodate the drinking of the posoned chalice TPPA inspired, created and furtively promoted by the Republic of Singapore. It is a fact that the ISA which was protective of the ruling elite since 1948 was repealed in a jiffy. The next will be the Sedition Act. These are all SECURITY ACTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE RULING ELITE VIS A VIS THE RAKYAT. Howeverm the bread and butter Acts like the 1965 Companies Act, the 1967 Bankruptcy Act and the 1949 Trustees Act have never been revised and up-dated in keeping with the modern times. Since we ape the Republci of Singapore and its brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore, it is surprising that our Government did not follow Singapore which up-dates all the afore-mentioned laws diligently and carefully.
It is all the more surprising that the whole machinery of Government bent-over backwards to serve foreign interests and by signing the poisoned chalice TPPA, a Singaporean creation for the only benefit of Singapore, the Malays will be like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. The non-Malays face a fate worse than death.
Vide. the naive, hospitable and friendly UMNO owned New Straits Times. Streets Central Supplement. Page 8. March 8, 2014. Are there such words as conflict of interest ?
Are we eliminating ourselves as a successful and independent and democratic Nation by our own hands, in a world of turmoil at the askance of outsiders and troublemakers ?

Even on Sundays, the Singaporeans are at it complaining on the legal use of their hard-earned money contributed to the giant money trap known as the CPF. Who would’nt ? A person who contributed for a life-time a Singapore Dollar from 21 year old to 65 year old, gets back only a Singapore Dollar after deduction of inflation. His annual dividends are equal to the official inflation rate ! And he contributes to the HDB again because his CPF money has been used to build his lease-hold cubicle of air which is sold to him. After income tax, he ends up getting nothing. This is a classic example of the Creation of Money Without Money or the best to do business is without bringing out any capital – THE WORLD’S BEST SCHEME EVER CONCOCTED BY A WORLD CLASS GOVERNMENT FOR ITS CITIZENS’ WELFARE ! The Communistic system was more crude ! And more of what the enlightened Singaporeans do these days, they have no money to count anymore :-

Hardly a day passes by in balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore without any complaint or expression of dissent from its citizens. The most successful Policy of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore is the Hoovering of the citizens’ spare money down to the LAST CENT TILL HIS LAST BREATH ! Now, we know how it is done.
The CPF money is lent at rock bottom rates in the NATIONAL INTEREST legally to the Singapore Government which in turn churns and churns the money like that Malaysian Chinese guy who churned and churned and made RM 100 millions from zero base after 30 years. The Singaporean citizen get back part of his Singapore Dollar when he reaches 65 years old from a tender age of 21 !

It is troubling to note that there is an increasing volume of dissent which is perceived to come from more and more ordinary Singaporean citzens including some academics. Two issues which affect the Singaporean citizens deeply are the legal use of the CPF Trust money belonging to the citizens at rock bottom rates and the other, the massive imports of low wage earning FTs (Foreign Talents) to bolster the GDP at all costs. In the former, our GLCs aped the modus operandi but the cash to do the wherewithal is borrowed money which is dangerous and speculative. And on the latter, in our case, the importation of FTs is an economic necessity not a GDP booster because we have human and natural resources. Further, there is no awkward and bitter reminder that our factories were forcibly closed down at 2 child per family. Troubling voices from South of the border :-

The balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore which has no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, voyeurism, cheating, lying, spying by ducks, swallows and tycoons, faking by fakirs etc but only profiteering and money grab Policy of the Government is now embroiled on the twin issues of MONEY and FOREIGN TALENTS !

Soon after the crisis of 1997 our beloved Malaysia became a case for study by the international busybodies and their ilk around the World. No longer. With the overhwhelming discontent and the unhappiness which we can observe everyday from the balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore, this once ship-tight controlled abode has popped up for the study of how a Rule by One Man can be sustainable in a place which has no resources but only BLUFFOLOGY !
A tale of 2 places is going to be a historical classic of nation building to come. One the one hand, our beloved Malaysia was governed by qualified Prime Ministers with great success and on the other, a fellow who claimed to be qualified ruled a tropical isle with an iron fist entwined with legal safeguards for a life-time. No one can escape the judgement of history as will be written in the years to come.
And the much maligned CPF with the citizens’ Trust money on loan legally to the Government seems to reveal how cheap money could be raised without turning the MAS into a full fledged Central Bank and without the restrictions of a Currency Board. If this is so, then, this opaque Policy must be one ot the best kept secrets in that tropicla isle. No wonder a full fledged military was set-up to guard it.
And more grumblings and unhappiness from Singapore :-

No matter how the Singaporean authorities spin and spin on the returns of that 2+% CPF legal loan to the Government, I know a Malaysian guy who could churn and churn from zero base into a fortune worth RM 100 millions in 30 years within the borders of KL without corruption, nepotism, cronyism, voyeurism, spying with ducks, swallows and tycoons, cheating, lying, faking by fakirs etc. Therefore, a 21 year old Singaporean contributed to the CPF and could only withdraw part of it at the age of 65, how many times his money was churned over in his lifetime ? He should get a return more than that Malaysian guy and not 2+% per annum – over RM 100 millions. And on top of this, he would have bought a 99 year leasehold HDB flat built with money which belonged to him for an unknown cost with the profit accrued to the HDB.. All these gimmicks could be traced back to the succinct arguments in the Dewan Rakyat in 1964-1965 when the PAP was in song.

I have always thought that the Republic of Singapore was balmy and squeaky clean without corruption, nepotism, cronyism, cheating, lying, voyeurism, spying by ducks, swallows and tycoons, faking by fakirs etc but only profiteering and money grab culture of its Government. Since I began to study in depth the inner going ons of this one-street town, I was shocked that most of the alleged negatives were practised by the elite, the 0.01% elite. By October 2014, complaints galore reached a crescendo ! The previously brain washed and brain numbed Singaporean citizens are now slowly waking up with a vengeance. For such a 180 degree change in human freedom scenario why is Uncle Sam from the Land of the Free so condoning to the only one -ruler -democracy in the World complete with the ISA and the alleged Sedition Act ? Even Hong Kong has freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the media and an INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY !

Here is an absurd screaming headline today, ‘ Pay heed to Bar’s call to repeal Sedition Act DAP tells Putrajaya.’ For a moment, I thought this headline sounded reasonable but on second thought this is the most fallacious headline ever. It was alleged to have come from the spritual follower of the spiritual leader in his spiritual homeland, Singapore. The DAP is a party well-known for doing nothing for our National Development and only contemplated their navels and twiddled their thumbs for 48 years from 1966 when it was established by the retreating Singaporeans.
By demonstrating in the streets of KL, it is illegal for a group of lawyers to do so. Apparently, the lawyers have a membership of at least 13,000 members. A group of nearly 1,000 walked the 100 yards to the gates of power for their supporters and financiers to protest against something which THEY NEVER DID FROM 1948 UNTIL NOW ! Even in their spiritual homeland Singapore, one form or another is still in place together with the famous ISA which was repealed here in our beloved Malaysia in a fiffy against DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES which rule that the MAJORITY RULES and not by illegal MINORITY RAUCOUS mobs ruling in the streets.
Our Federal Government in the face of rising terrorist extremism and in the majority cannot simply repeal any law they like WHEN THESE LAWS HAD SERVED THE MAJORITY WELL SINCE 1948. To repeal any Law, we must follow the Rule of the Laws and our UNIQUE MALAYSIAN DEMOCRATIC PROCESS WHICH OBSERVES DEMOCRATICALLY THE RULE BY THE MAJORITY ! A mob of about 1,000 lawyers in the eyes of the Law and DEMOCRACY is no more powerful than a mob of 1,000 chefs doing the same thing under the boiling sun !
I have noticed that nowadays, in public life in our beloved Malaysia, square pegs are in round holes, round pegs in square holes. What can genteel and well-educated ladies and gentlemen of an esoteric profession numbering about 1,000 do to lift the weight of a population of 27 millions of which 14 millions are in the majority in the Dewan Rakyat under the legal sway of our CONSTITUTION ? Besides, are these fellows certain that the balance of the 13 millions of the population are for them in support ?
I would have thought that these professionals would have better served our beloved Malaysia at large when they should up-date and revise the following LAWS for the benefit of all instead of operating in a mob like elsewhere for no purpose but to the delight of some foreign backed politicians ! The laws which are in practice every day but forgotten in the heat of other people’s battles and a futile War. :-
1, The Companies Act -1965. Not revised or up-dated – 49 years. Singapore’s Companies Act is revised constantly and is alive !
2. The Bankruptcy Act. 1967. Not revised or up-dated – 47 years, with laws reminiscent of Charles Dickens of the 19th Century. The most backward Act in the whole of the British
Commonwealth
3. The Trustees Act 1949. Not revised or up-dated – 65 years. This non-revision to modern day needs is the most shameful neglect of our laws by whoever are responsible. On first thought, it must be the Bar Council which is now actively indulging in street market politics instead of serving the vital legal needs of the citizens who require their legal expertise. And the Sedition Act if NORMALLY applied only affects a certain group of citizens who open their mouths constantly.
UNLIKE THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE WHERE COMMON AILMENTS ARE COMMON, IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAWS IT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT AND LIVING. This is the vital difference concerning the practice of the Laws which is a daily living thing or practice !
For our beloved Malaysia to progress, it is impossible to do so if these archaic Laws are in our baggage because a good and progressive economy needs a good and progressive set of up-to-date Laws in support like in the spiritual homeland of our Opposition leader. WAS OUR ESTEEMED GENTLEMAN URGING THE LAWYERS TO PUT THE CART BEFORE THE LEGAL HORSE ?
Under the present Trustees Act 1949, a Trustee can be anyone and he or she can just run off with all the money or asset before anyone realises it. And with a burgeioning middle class of Malaysians, the rising number of such cases to come will only clog up the Courts with this set of anitquated Laws. And our esteemed lawyers, WHERE ARE YOU ? OUT POLITICKING FOR ALI BABA AND SAMY !
As I have said before, the majority must rule with a Malay bias. As long as the Government adopts a transparent and fair policy, observes the Rule of Laws, maintains a normal and functioning bureaucracy, and eschews the making of money through the GLCs but only to rule over us, THERE IS NOTHING THE OPPOSITION CAN DO UNTIL THE NEXT 14TH GENERAL ELECTIONS !

A screaming headline in the Financial Times London dated 14 October 2014. ” Who is living where ? No one knows how many Chinese live in Europe.” An interesting and current topic both in the United Kingdom and around the World. I hope the MCA, the DAP and all those Chinese who voted for the Opposition in the 13th General Elections just study this headline and its implications. The only conclusion they can come to is not to vote for the Opposition over 90% but to transform this vote to the BN at the next 14th General Elections. To put it bluntly, THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE SHOULD BEHAVE LIKE ALL CHINESE WITH THEIR 5,000 YEAR HISTORY AND NOT BEHAVE LIKE SOME DUMB DISCARDED GYPSIES IN EUROPE.
And something for all from the balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore which has no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, cheating, lying, voyeurism, spying by ducks, swallows, and tycoons, no faking by fakires etc. but only profiteering and money grab culture of its Government.

How can we talk about DEMOCRACY without mentioning real life examples like the Bersih 1.0 2.0. 3.0 .4.0 …ad infinitum and stories of our taxi-drivers which are not many in my collection ?
I avoided a comment of the Bersih 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, …..ad infinitum for fear that I might arouse some nasty thoughts in some holistic ( I copy ) fellows who might become recalcitrant and mop again the dirty streets of our hot and humid KL ! However, facts are facts, and history is history.
I was struck by the similarity of the demonstrators of Hong Kong and those which paraded in the hot and humid streets of KL for the action cameras and financiers at home and abroad – 20 somethings with well-fed bodies covered with an expensive T shirt from middle class environs. The problem with our folks is they did not speak Amercanese ! But it is alleged that they have that American thingy called the KFC coupon in their pockets ! I could be wrong, very wrong
As an astute observer of the scenes, with our Federal Government competing in the baksheesh stakes like upping the free largesse from RM 650 to RM 950, the market rates for proxies must now shoot up sky high through the roof.
The only way to create a mob of 5,000 proxies is to spin and spin it into at least 100,000. At first I believed we had 100,000 mobs roaming outside the Masjid Negara and the old Istana Negara. But when I saw the Hong Kong made scenario with its real 80,000 actors and actresses, I realised that I had been conned a’ la Malaysian style ! So far so good !
Further, apart from the costs of paying for the proxies to come to the show and display their MIDDLE INCOME GROUP’S WEALTH OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA CREATED BY OUT REDOUBTABLE TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD DURING HIS 22 YEAR ADMINISTRATION, in contrast, we see on TV the stark hunger look, the frustrated look, the desperate look of all those demonstrating innocent men, women and children who demonstrated desperately in the hot and dusty streets of the cities of the Arab World under the guise of Arab Spring or whatever for so many many years. THIS IS THE DIFFERANCE – The real difference for desperate want of a job, a house, a family and a future for themselves and our Bersih types who demonstrate for 3 hours and then checked out and be forgotten the next day.
A famous Singaporean lady lawyer once told me, ‘ Why do you bother to sue for libel and slander ? In this hot climate, people will forget tomorrow what happens today !’ How true was her advice from experience which I cherish to this day !
And now from my collection of true taxi driver stories which are very few from our beloved Malaysia because I seldom travelled by taxis until now because of the traffic jams !
Only last week, as I hopped into a brand new limousine taxi, I asked, ‘ How are you today Mr Singh ?’ ‘ Very bad business today.’ Mr Singh replied. My friend was wearing the very latest in Sikh headgear being a truncated version of the colourful turban. I continued, ‘ Why Mr Singh ?’ ‘ You know, Sir, I have to work very hard to earn enough to send my daughter to a private medical school in Cyberjaya. To earn enough, I take up this part time job as a taxi-driver and another job as a sports coach for some youngsters. If I am a different person, my daughter’s fees would be free and she might even be educated overseas.’ I told him I had a Sikh classmate who was very poor too and his father was a cowherd and he is now a famous consultant. Mr Singh replied, ‘ I know your friend Sir. I too was a cowherd from Kulim. I used to extract the milk and deliver it for my father.’ I was delighted, ‘ Your limousine taxi is brand new ‘ I remarked casually. ‘ I own it, Sir and I never rent it out for fear of damage. I rather parked it in front of our house ! ‘ And I saw my fare would be RM40 in the meter at the end of the journey. This is a true story. This was my return journey.
But on that very same day, I hopped into a decrepit and battered 1st Generation Proton taxi on my way to an appointment. As usual, I asked, ‘ How are you today Mr Tan ?’ ‘ Sir, I am Lim !’ the driver replied. ‘ Sorry, Mr Lim, how are you ?’ Mr Lim replied, ‘ I am OK even though I am 70 years old ! I brought up my daughter and 2 sons.’ ‘ You have done well as a taxi-driver, Mr Lim !’ I retorted. ‘ Yes, Sir. My daughter went to Singapore and married a factory owner’s son. Then, she pulled her 2 brothers to work there. At first I objected because my wife and myself would be alone. But after much thought, I let them go as they would be earning more in Singapore than KL. I advised them to save some money to buy properties in JB and never renounce their Malaysian citizenships ! ‘ ‘ What wonderful children you have Mr Lim, a daughter and 2 sons !’ I responded. ‘ Yes, Sir. My children every month would pay RM1,000 to each of us. They have filial piety.’ ‘ Mr Lim filiat piety is the best of all amongst us Asians. Now you have no worries. Please remember all of us may live up to 100 years, not because of the good doctors but the medicines !’
I was very happy that day contrary to some esoteric belief that all is not well in the state of Denmark. I was happy that an ordinary and normal person of any origin can find work, build up a useful life and has hope for the future – his children. Yes, Tun ! Our unique brand of Malaysian DEMOCRACY at work due to you and all your predecessors and those who came after you. I was happy also because the taxi-drivers did not show a single iota of GREEDINESS.

Werever I turned my head the last 3 weeks, I could not avoid the word DEMOCRACY. It was there in the TV, the social media, the papers and the utterances of friends and enemies. What a DEMOCRATIC WORLD we have today albeit with less DEMOCRACY than ever !
We now have a whole choice of DEMOCRACIES on a plate, a menu of sorts. We have the American Dream DEMOCRACY, the British DEMOCRACY with the conned Scots, the Indian DEMOCRACY with its hindering social caste system, the Chinese DEMOCRACY which is actually a 21st century version of the 5,000 year old rule by the Emperor. We find shades of this DEMOCRACY in Taiwan and especially in Singapore. When the Emperor is nasty and chopped off a few heads, the whole country is at peace and harmony. If the Emperor is a nice guy and appreciates the finer things in life like 19 holes of golf, the Chinamen will be in turmoil.
Then we saw the sudden appearance of Arab Spring which concoction was reputed to have come from the think-tank of Washington DC salons. In this instance, did they really think and tanked ? Or was the Arab Spring invented to mask unprofessional intentions ? The Arab Spring was supposed to bring the wonderful and bountiful DEMOCRACY of the Western kind to Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, and Syria after Irag with its gigantic oil reserves secured and locked away. That was the title of the Hollywood film made in Washiington DC. But nothing like that happened to this very day. No green DEMOCRATIC shoots took root. But instead, millions of Arabs were displaced , thousands killed or injured, innocent men, women and children, sometimes in places which had not known war for centuries with mosques and ancient buildings disappeared into dust. The green shoots of WESTERN DEMOCRACY never took root in these ancient places which had never known the word, ‘DEMOCRACY’ from Pharoah times through the Ottoman Empire and now 2014 ! How to educated an ancient civilization with just the word ‘DEMOCRACY’ in a short time span of a few months in civilizations which have existed for at least 5,000 or more ?
Like in China, DEMOCRACY or its word, is not known for 5,000 years !
We sweep on to Ukraine. We see more demonstrations of Ukraine spring when it was winter. The conned Ukranians demonstrated in the belief of EU promises only, every day these were forthcoming but nothing materialized. By the time, the Ukranians woke up, they have lost the Crimea and the Eastern lands and faced a huge bill for gas from Russia.
With empty hands in Syria and Ukraine, no one was responsible for this terrible upheaval of human lives, dignity and rights.
However, we have now arrived in Hong Kong – a place where they had 28 appointed Governors from Whitehall without a single squeak of objection from the inhabitants for 155 years. Now, the American twang 20 something demonstrators wearing fine apparel over well fed bodies from rich middle classes want full universal suffrage or DEMOCRACY. They want the next Governor to be elected from their group of 3 millions in a population of 7 millions without regard to the China-biased China majority and China which owns the land they demonstrated on. What an irony ! I thought the demonstrators were only ad-lipping some phantoms lurking behind the scenes. China is not going to move one inch.
The Malaysian DEMOCRACY is the best. We have democrats who talk all the time to keep the attention of the media and their supporters. Our unique DEMOCRACY has all the requisite DEMOCRATIC icons like the BN, the very rich Opposition ( It takes two to tango ), the fence sitters, the haves and have-nots, iconic institutions, our ancient Royal Houses, the Constitution and General Elections every 4-5 years since 1957 !
Our Malaysian DEMOCRACY is a works in process and is being fine tuned all the time. No outsider will feel or can feel like a Malaysian citizen.
And please do not give us unsolicited advice which should be turned South of the border or try to turn us into Red Indians of North America by seducing us with 19 holes of golf, to drink from the poisoned chalice of the TPPA which is Singapore inspired, designed, created and furtively promoted since 2005. We drink. We die. Singapore survives. Vide. the naive, friendly, hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement. Page 8, March 8, 2014. Spies galore.
As we move on, we see the different forms of DEMOCRACY which provides all citizens everywhere with one person, one vote. Of course, DEMOCRACY is a living thing like in our beloved Malaysia like money if you know how, it has velocity of the DEMOCRATIC kind !

This is hot from the press for the greenhorn MCA appointed Senator without meritocracy who said, ‘ MCA.

The rule by meritocracy failed miserably in the Republic of Singapore. It was purportedly dismantled in 2013 after 54 long years. Believe it or not !

It is interesting to note that the failed invention, meritocracy, of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore, has fully ran its course in the spiritual homeland of the DAP, Singapore and its citizens are only now slowly waking up from their brainwashed stupor !
And interestingly, enough, the newly appointed MCA Senator without experience but full of gumption with visions of his spiritual homeland, Singapore and wanting to please his peers by punching the wrong icon to gain kudos, would have been surprised that his 17 MCA forebears were brilliant in making so much money WITHOUT MERITOCRACY With this information, the Honourable Senator would not have said. ‘MCA. Dr M out of tune ‘
And to confirm further, the fables and foibles of the Sime Darby management also underlines that in the semi-private or quasi-Government sector of the GLCs, there is no necessity whatsoever to have MERITOCRACY when things could be done WITHOUT MERITOCRACY. They could even sell the whole company without the Board of Directors knowing. Acheh !
Dear Honourable Senator, please check your facts before you open your mouth next time especially when you think you are going to make big headlines and political kuos by attacking the wrong icons. Oops ! Also please remember in our beloved Malaysia either we are related or good friends. And we cannot runaway very far ! Did you check on the MCA leader whom I said was well-armed ? I should have elaborated that this fellow had 2 guns in places like the Bukit Bintang area, if you know what I mean !

Sorry ! I left out the final transaction price of the Bukit Beruntong property north of Rawang which was inveigled out of Sime Darby for only RM4 millions without valuation and the approval of the Board of Consolidated Plantations on the management’s explanation that there was no necessity to do so since the value was less than 1% !
After the secret sale of this Bukit Beruntong estate to the infamous MCA personality, the property was up-valued and shelved in a public listed company for a short time. Then, it was shuffled and shuffled up to a final value of RM88 millions and sold to Selangor Perangsang and a popular property developer was not popular with his shareholders and purchasers of his houses or flats.
Bukit Beruntong is now the finest slum in the tropics complete with gangsters due to the bad intentions of whoever was concerned – a beautiful property screwed up by bad intentions !

I have commented on the 17 leaders of the MCA who became very wealthy without meritocracy. I reckon the MCA members and other non-members without meritocracy, own and control at least RM100 billions which are placed mainly outside the shores of our beloved Malaysia. So much for politics. So far so good !
However, any comment on Business Malaysia is not complete without the fables and foibles of the venerable money-bag Sime Darby – the abuse by those who managed it is legend to the consternation or horror of its shareholders or analysts.
Arising from my 1972 concept that the Bumiputras should have a large business conglomerate within the context of the NEP for the very first time as they had none and that Sime Darby was the available target in 1972, the Bumiputras were in control but not in the saddle by November 1976. The MCA later used this Sime Darby acquisition as an excuse to go into big time business which ended in grieve with corruption and illegal dealings by its leaders.
The British management after usiing all sorts of underhand tactics to remain in executive control, came to a deal with the authorities after the unfortunate demise of our Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak. They were permitted to stay on and manage Sime Darby unconditionally until replacementrs were fouind. This was a mistake which gave the Brits a loophole to dispose of the best assets of Sime Darby between 1977 to 1978 with vengeance.
With part of the Malaysian and Singaporean representatives on the Board wearing Union Jack undervests except for Tan Sri Taib Andak and myself, the Brits disposed of the following ( I coiuld not oppose as I was in a minority of two as I had promised our late Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak that I would see to the repatriation of Sime Darby PLC and do whatever is humanly possible in the Malaysian interests. I was only aware that the Brits were only too keen to show me the door if I made one false move. My elder sister was at Raffles College, Singapore with Tun Abdul Razak, Tan Sri Taib Andak, Tun Raja Mohar, the Royal Professor Ungku Tan Sri Abdul Aziz, Tan Sri Hamdan who became the Governor of Pulau Pinang in later years, etc.) :-
1, The valuabe Amoy Canning factory land was purportedly sold by auction which was aborted as there were no takers. Hong Kong properties were controlled by a syndicate of 9 groups. Only the Hong Kong Government auctioned off their lands to balance the budgets. Eventually, a deal was struck with a 4th tier ranking member of the syndicate with easy terms. There was no necessity for Sime Darby to raise money.
2. The 2 iconic Orchard Towers at Orchard Road, Singapore were sold to the contractor who built them for S$ 23 millions at cost after the Brits showed the British dominated Board colour photos of cracks in the walls of the buildings with the warning that these could collapse at any moment. The 2 iconic Towers are still standing in 2014, 37 years later !
3. The only alcohol monopoly of India, Shaw Wallace and its beautiful Assam Frontier Tea Estates were sold at a lowly sum of not more than RM150 millions to an Indian operating in the Gulf. The son became a flamboyant billionaire and owns the Kingfisher Airlines.
4. Only the 200,000 acres of the oil palms remain.
Fast trek to 1981, the Singapore Business Times reported that I was instrumental in selling Benta Berhad to the infamous MCA personality. I consulted the famous lady lawyer of Singapore who told me that I was a non-starter – a useful word which I cherish to this day as I was 6 months late. The Chairman sold Benta Berhad !
In 1982, I proposed that Sime Darby acquire the palm oil bunkering installations at ports in China. But a palm oil installation was set-up in Port Said Egypt. Ten years later, all the palm oil bunkering installations at the Chinese ports were mopped up by 3 Malaysian Chinese groups. Recently, Sime Darby announced the investments of billions of ringgits in China.
In 1990, I heard from the grape-vine that Sime Darby sold a property north of Rawang by the North-South Highway for only RM4 millions without valuation to the infamous MCA personality. I asked the management why the Board of Consolidated Plantations did not discuss the sale. I was told that since the value of the estate was less than 1% of the total value of the assets, there was no necessity to inform the Board.. I learnt something new that day. I suppose the whole company’s assets could be sold in lots of 1% and the Board need not be informed. Pukka corporate governance for you and me a’ la Sime Darby !
This RM4 millions were up-valued and shelved in a listed company and was shuffled and shuffled till it ended in the final ownership of Selangor Perangsang and a popular property developer who was not popular at all with his shareholders and purchasers. Due to bad intentions, this once beautiful property has been turned into the finest tropical slum complete with gangsters.
After the unfortunate demise of Tun Tan Siew Sin in 1988, I waited for the expected request for me to resign to come from the management. It eventually arrived in 1992. The fear of the late Tun Abdul Razak and the raison d’etre of my existence in Sime Darby were conveninetly forgotten. The demise of Tun Tan was a good enough reason to get rid of me who was paid RM50,000 before tax per annum for 18 years. Tun Tan was never my patorn. In fact, he asked me why I did not inform him about the Malaysian takeover of Sime Darby. I smiled and did not comment.
In 1992, Sime Darby wanted to buy a pondan (mismanaged) oil palm estate in Sabah for RM32 millions. This estate could not be sold for nearly 20 years. I asked the management why Sime Darby buys such an estate. The management told me that it is adjacent to a Sime Darby estate, 40 miles away. I did not tell anyone that I began business life with my family’s rubber and oil palm estate in North Johore. I refused to sign the relevant Circular. The following day I was requested to resign. I handed in my letter of resignation promptly within 30 minutes after the management’s request.
Before my forced resignation, there were no random shooting at investments by Sime Darby like a loose canon.
1 Before 1992, the Prime Minister of Thailand, the Honourable Adnan Panyarachoon personally rang me up to breakfast with him at Seri Carcosa on his very first visit to our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Kuala Lumpur. The Sime Darby management rang me up that there was no room for me. The Thai Prime Minister was not only my friend from the same Alma Mater but I predicted to him that he would be Prime Minister twice – of all places one night in the lift of the KL Hilton ! He did not believe me !
2. Before 1992, I auctioned off two very rare books in London anonymously. Sime Darby bought both, the Anderson, ‘ Political and Commercial Considerations of the Malay States….’ 1824 for Sterling Pounds 10,000 (my cost was Sterling Pounds 550) and the Hikayat written by Munshi Abdullah 1832 for Sterling Pounds 5,000 (my cost was US$3.75 cts). In the former purchase, a casino owner was requested to contribute half the cost. As a Board member of Sime Darby I was not invited by the management to attend the first presentation ceremony to our Tunku nor the second ceremony to our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !
1. 1992. Purchase of the pondan oil palm estate, Sabah, for RM32 millions.
2. 1996. Purchase of the Sandestin Golf Resort, Florida, USA for US$72 millions.
3. 1996 Purchase of the UMBC
4. 2000 First bankruptcy involving RM1.2 billions.
5. 2001- Ocean racing in New Zealand sponsored by Sime Darby for more than 9 years.
6. 2001 Rest and recreation facilities in Perth, Australia for many years.
7. 2005. The Geronimoi Special Contract for a Singapore PAP operative so that he feels comfortable in the hot and humid ulu of KL.
8. 2006. My eye-balls dropped out when I saw this lady of a certain age wearing hot-pants in the 1st class cabin of the SIA. She was a fund raiser for PAP charities. A few days later, Sime Darby announced that they were in partnership with her to develop a swamp in Australia – a property which she could not sell for many years.
9. 2010. The 2nd Bankruptcy of Sime Darby with a Board full of distinguished personalities.
Like the MCA personalities, easily comprehended moves were made by the management in Sime Darby, the flagship of the PNB – Malaysia’s first GLC. Both groups were non-productive in the National Interest or in the National Development. Decisions were made WITHOUT MERITOCRACY !
My vision for Sime Darby since 1976 has always been for Sime Darby to be like Temasek of Singapore in the 21st century, participating in the ownership of industrial entities in the First World like automobiles, light engineering etc etc. It is still not too late !

What has happened to the Chinese of Malaysia ? Have they become hollow and lost their traditional cultural ballast ? Attacking without shame the senior members of the family without gratitutde ? Like the DAP which has its spiritual leader in their spiritual homeland Singapore ?
I refer in particular to the appointed MCA Senator who used others as a punching bag so that he can gain cheap political kudos. I am referring to that fellow who lives in a glass house throwing stones and said, ‘Dr M is out of tune.’
OK. For the Honourable MCA Senator , here is a complete list of all the MCA leaders who profitted not only immensely but fantastically from 1949 to 2003 WITHOUT MERITOCRACY ! 17 of them ! I have to leave out the minor ones ! The list is not according to chronological order.
1. This leader has a nose for properties in Kenny Hill and Freeman Garders Kuala Lumpur and by the Thames London.
2. He was caught with his hand in the allotment of some shares.
3. A guy who has a propensity to jump ship but was seen by me carrying a huge briefcase emblazoned in big white letters ‘ YB 345. Exco Counsillor, xyz State.’ in the lst Class cabin of the SIA. He was grinning from ear to ear obviously His Majesty’s Customs kept a blind eye and gave him a good send-off. A normal person otherwise doing an abnormal activity.
4. A wandering gypsy journalist haveing a chemical factory monopoly.
5. He managed his family business from his bed-room and secured 2 monopolies, cheap cheap without saying so much as a thank you. Not only this, to add to the largesse, he garnered 4 lush properties in the Federal capital, a contract for the construction of a Government facility and a special approval for a condominium development without him, the permission would not have been given.
6. This guy was running so much pounds sterling to London for his principal that he could tool around in a Lamborghini and not a cheap Ferrari and plays high stake poker every night.
7. In front of me and the crowd at dinner, this guy cried out, ‘ We fight ! We fight ! They called us names ! ‘ When a high end residential association called upon him to help as his house was located in the same area, he was not to be found. Of late, I saw this gent walking around the malls looking very happy and doing nothing.
8. He had a monopoly too and luscious Federal lands which his family misnaged.
9. This fellow is the paragon of a descendat of a lorry driver, a tapper, a padi farmer, a store keeper, etc. He could remit S$100 millions from HSBC Singapore to HSBC Hong Kong through my friend after only 6 years in politics.
10. He shouted at the top of his voice in the environs of Kuala Lumpur which walls have ears, ‘ Two countries owed me. One already given but the other I am waiting for a licence.’ Even though he might have forgotten, I was pretty sure he swore allegiance to the Yang Di Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.
11. This leader said, ‘ You mind your own business and I mind mine ! ‘ A classic comment from a successful MCA politician.
12. This one truthfully told someone, ‘ I could make RM20 millions just by sitting in my air-conditoned office.’ Oh, my poor Rakyat !
13, He beat the British and grabbed their mining lands.
14. This leader had a price. By giving a mining operation so that he would serve accordignly !
15. Oh my gosh ! He was caught padding His Majesty’s tenders.
16. He had 2 monopolies before gaining office and could gain 1 more monopoly and extended and consolidated his fantastic empire. A very smart cookie for you and me !
17. This guy is well-armed and had a spare parts monopoly.
What say you, appointed Honourable MCA Senator. Enjoy or not to enjoy ? That is the question !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIAN CHINESE BOLEH WITHOUT MERITOCRACY !

From the deep recesses of my brain, I recall an anecdote which could be one of the gems of Business Malaysia in which it was a win-win situation for all in terms of foreign exchange.
Shortly before the financial crash of 1997, Sime Darby bought the watering hole in far away Florida, the United States of America, half a world away called Sandestin Golf Resorts for US$72 millions. The reason for the purchase was to train Malaysians in catering and hotel management conveniently forgetting that MARA was doing this catering and hotel management since 1966 for peanuts. OK.
The financial crash came and Sime Darby was forced to sell this at a loss in United States Dollars. But Sime Darby announced that the company recovered their initial investment without loss in ringgits. A win-win situation for the sellers, the buyers and the brokers. Before the crash, it was US Dollar to RM2.50. But after at one stage it was RM4 to a US Dollar. Well-done folks !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

Like you, Tun when we discuss any subject we always refer back to the basics which will give us a fuller picture of why certain things were done at such a time and for what purpose. There must be logic in the way we do things. And when certain course of action is adopted, we must be aware of this veering from the NORMAL path as being ABNORMAL.
I fully support your views on 1MDB which were published in the latest edition of a business journal last weekend.
First, as far as I could remember, the financial crisis of 1997 brought down most of the public listed companies controlled by Bumiputra individuals and some big companies were bailed out by the Government to the consternation of a coterie of fund managers who were also hit by the sudden imposition of foreign exchange controls in 1998. These companies were bailed out in the national interest. There was a huge outcry around the World that it was the wrong approach in dealing with such a crisis. Eventually, you were vindicated as doing something brilliant by the unbiased !
However, by October 2008, the United States and the rest of the Western World were busily bailing out their ‘too big to fail banks’ and AIG. In fact, the whole of the Western financial system had to be bailed out to the extent of at least US$3 trillions by a series of Quantative Easing to this day with no green shoots being seen anywhere. And it is now called the longest recession ever ! So far so good.
The deed done by your firm decision to bail out these Bumiputra owned companies and the imposition of foreign exchange controls were conveniently forgotten. The CLOB of the KL-Singapore Stock Exchange which should have been closed long ago became a casualty of the foreign exchange controls. The Singaporeans cursed all the way to the bank at this loss of lovely income without sweat. Vide. Straits Times 2000. Letters to Editor.
From the group of bailed out companies, a new phenomenon appeared in our Federal Government’s parlance – GLC. – the only GLCs I could think of are those created by the Singapore Government as part of their endeavour to create an industrial economy from that of an entreport.
After Singapore separated from Malaysia in 1965, an effort was made as recommended by Dr Alfred Winsemius, Adviser to the Singapore Government, 1961 to 1984 as part of his infrastructural plan for Singapore to move forward economically. The Jurong Industrial area was established. The existing traders and entrepreneurs were encouraged to set-up factories to sell manufactured goods. eg. Fair Lady Fashion, Eupoc, Starlite Ceramics, Singapore Textiles, Daiward Industries, Far East Levingston, Regent Hair Wigs, Sembawang Shipyard etc. Most of the industries owned by the private sector failed because the Singaporean market was small and the consumeres were hooked on brand names. The private owners were new to manufacturing products which require a long gestation period for success.
I had some shares in a biscuit facotry with the latest Swiss machinery. But we could not sell because we did not have a brand name. The factory was sold to Nissin of Japan who made money on the very first day.
By the early 1970s, the Singapore Government in order to hasten the industrialization process and as well as the financial market and its Asian Dollar moved into several businesses and industries on a commercial basis. IT WAS ALRIGHT FOR THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT TO DO SO BECAUSE OF ITS REPUTATION AS A SQUEAKY CLEAN OUTFIT to ensure efficiency and productivity. This was probably the first in the World in which a Government moved into business to make money for its people. But by the 1980s, it was the citizens cheap CPF money which drove the Singaporean economy. This Policy is within the ambit of SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM for Singapore.
But in the case of our beloved Malaysia, the Federal Government from its pool of bailed-out Bumiputra companies not only increased their busineses through borrowings but also borrowed more to finance the purchases of new companies and landed properties to form what is now known as the KHAZANAH EMPIRE OF GLCs. This is a form of aping of Singapore’s national interest activity by name only and not by holistic ( I copy ) intentions. The Malaysian GLCs are now managed by Civil Servants with no accountability and ownership but earning salaries ranging from RM 1 milliion to over RM 10 millions ( more than the Prime Minister of Singapore who is the highest paid Prime Minister in the World ).
The risky thing in the eyes of all analysts is that the BORROWED LOANS IS FOR A SHORT PERIOD WITH THE INVESTMENTS HELD FOR A LONGER TERM IN UNACCUSTOMED COUNTRIES like the Virgin Islands.
Not many have heard of this true story of business Malaysia.
A few years ago, a couple of tycoons got together and one told me that he was fortunate to have the others as his partners. I did not say anything as it was none of my business. The tycoons BORROWED UNITED STATES DOLLARS SHORT AND INVESTED LONG IN UNITED STATES BANKS, OIL PROPECTS, CONDOMINIUMS ETC. Then, there was a slight twist in the foreign exchange rate coupled with a downturn in the United States economy. The tycoons went bankrupt because they borrowed short and invested long. They lost big on the foreign exchange and their long term investments dropped in values. So, this business of borrowing short and investing long is nothing new. It is as old as the hills !
This can only be applied for a very short period during boom times and definitely not in a recession of uncertain duration and magnitude together with a roiling business World.
I do not recall any sovereign Government doing this except for speculative individuals.
I have always believed that a Government has no business to be doing business but to rule over us only.
Our Governments had always borrowed to develop the country for its Rakyat like schools, hospitals, roads, etc.etc. In a small couintry, no private business can compete with the Government especially in a diverse population because the wealth is unevenly distributed. Hence, there is still the need for the NEP.
And Tun, your succinct explanation on how money should work in the proper governance sense of the word is very clear to understand by the Rakyat. Why should the Government do business with borrowed money and taxes itself when it can collect baksheesh from the private sector without capital ?
It is alleged our beloved Malaysia’s public debt known officially is about RM600 billions. If the GLCs are sold to or back to the Bumiputras and their non-Bumiputra partners, our country’s coffers will be that much stronger before we meet with the eye of the tsunami all of a sudden. Our GDP and ringgit will jump too !
I have always believed that a Government should rule over us only and spend money only on national development because charity begins at home, and :
1. Sell the GLCs to new Bumiputras and their non-Bumiputra partners.
2. Sell the GLCs back to the former owners and new non-Bumiputra partners if the former owners did not break the law.
3. Sell the GLCs to the existing Management and their non-Bumiputra partners.
Singapore had a vital and cogent reason to have GLCs for the economy in the National Interest. In the case of our beloved Malaysia, we are still struggling to balance the distribution of wealth and ownership amongst the Rakyat. For those who rule over us, the difference between the two countries is like CHALK FOR SINGAPORE AND CHEESE FOR MALAYSIA.

It is time for the appointed Honourable Senator from MCA to know a few home truths based on facts about his spiritual leader and clansman, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore, before he said, “MCA: Dr M out of tune.” The following factual list is good for the edification of new Bloggers :-
1.The use of money as an investment tool to buy out Thaksin’s business in pursuit of Singapore’s Foreign Policy. Without thought, hundreds of innocent men, women and children were either killed or injured. And 2 coup d’etats landed on Lee Kuan Yew’s face without Uncle Sam’s permission. Malaysia never had such blood on her hands. Vide. ASEAN Regional News.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy enforced on a population of 2 millions in the 1970s and 1980s. Vide. The Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population 2013.
3. The loss of US$108 Billions of the CPF’s Trust money belonging to the citizens in October 2008 on Wall Street by the dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of yes-men with the smartest fellow on top. Vide. Channelnewsasia. Lee Kuan Yew. November 2008. Financial Times London. Gillian Tett. April 2010.
4. Humanity and Multi-culturalism not practised. Vide Channelnewsasia. 2011-12. The Curry Smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike. The toilet fights. etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over. eg Dr Chee, Tan Koon Swan, the German, Ozzie and Malaysian drug mules. Dr Woffles Wu. Shaw – If the Police stopped at 1, he would not have been in trouble. But they stopped at 51, poor girl !
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. The flower nursery contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank which no other bank would buy. etc.
7. A World Class transportation system not established. Vide Manubhani. Distinguished diplomat and academician.
8. The failure of labour management of foreign workers. Vide Channelnewsasia. The Little India riots. The Rex cinemas sit-in etc.
9. The spy network established in friendly countries with ducks, swallows and tycoons. Vide Wikileaks. The naive friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times. Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8, 2014. Spies in colour galore !
10. The establishment of a full fledged military against friendly neighbours who love to play only 19 holes of golf. eg. 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkha brigades, F-35s, drones, Apaches, AWACS, 9 submarines, corvettes, rusting tanks, long range artillery, secret caverns, spying with swallows, ducks and tycoons, a strategic S$2 billions water reserve, bomb-proofed buildings, secret caverns, etc.
11. The Policy to conquer and control Malaysia through the use of proxies. eg. the whirlwind tour of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew to ulu Malaysia in June 2009.
12. The founding of the Singaporean Trojan Horse by the retreating Singaporeans in 1966. The DAP never contributed to the National Development Effort for 48 years since 1966.
13. The Policy to ride on the back of the great United States in pursuit of the Singapore’s inspired, designed and furtively promoted TPPA for our beloved Malaysia to drink this poisoned chalice. Malaysia signs. She dies. Singapore survives.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Hong Kong MRT has 99.99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 millions foreign workers to bolster Singapore’s GDP.
16. The dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of yes-men with the smartest fellow on top was used to control the 99.99% proletariat at the bottom from 1959 to 2013. This was dismantled in 2013 by the announcements from 2 Ministers who said promotions and application for jobs will not only be based on academic qualifications but on hidden talents as well. Vide. Channelnewsasia 2013.
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World. vide. Warren Buffet. etc.
18. The command system to collect and spy on everyone since 1972. The threat is now from overseas.
19. The legal use of the much maligned CPF money belonging to the citizens without considering the ethical and moral aspects of using their cheap money for life.
20. The misnomer Sovereign Fund applied to money belonging to the citizens of Singapore. Only Canada, Norway and the Gulf States can truly call their funds, Sovereign Funds. This money was invested in risky investments by a sovereign country.
21. The emigration of 300,000 who were the middle income group and supporters of the Government, overseas.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals to the chagrin of the citizens.
23. The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew has been in power since 1959.
24. The failure of most of the Policies adopted by the Singapore Government.
25. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, the Adviser to the Singapore Government 1961 – 1984, could deliver a solid infra-structural plan for success. But on the other, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew screwed down the population from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2013 through his failed Policies on Human Development. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2013.
26. The Money Grab policy of the Singapore Government has failed due to its rejection by its own citizens. In the early 1980s, a rich young tycoon was permitted to go round the schools lecturing to school children that it is good to be greedy. Money. Money. Money.
27. The apparent failure of the Republic of Singapore as a viable State for the 21st Century.
28 The utter failure to set-up a Western style democracy in Singapore instead of being a police state and a busy body interfering in the internal affairs of her friendly neighbours,like in Thailand which caused great tragedies and hardships. Vide Wikileaks.

For the greenhorn appointed MCA Senator who coommented ” MCA : Dr M out of tune.”. Our beloved Tun is definitely not the Pied Piper of Hamelin like that brilliant fellow with the 28 failed Policies for Singapore. who ruled the balmy squeaky clean tropical isle which has no corruption, no nepotism, no cronyism, no cheating, no lying, no voyeurism, no spying with ducks, swallows and tycoons, no faking by fakirs etc except alleged profiteering involving the CPF and the HDB and money grab culture by its Government.
Since you are unaware how Prime Ministers should be compared according to the 3 Golden Attributes and NOT BASED ON YOUR BASAL EMOTIONS, Honourable Senator, here is the low-down specially for you :-
Your Spiritual Leader, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore.
1, Commonsense. Negative. How could any ruler apply a 2 Child Family Policy to a population of 2 millions with at least 10% old and young ? Singapore is now becoming a desert isle without real Singaporeans.
2. The Ability to Think out of the Box. Negative. His lunch conversation with Singapore’s N0. 1 civil servant Ngiam Tong Dow as revealed in the September issue of the Singapore Medical Association News. Quote ‘ What’s wrong with collecting more money?’ on the subject of the COE.
3. Compassion. Negative. It is the Rule of Law with all the nitty-gritty, stupid.
Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a Statesmand of the World.
1. Commonsense. Positive. The Tun could create the huge Middle Income Group of Malays, 3 millions in number which brought the 3 millions non-Malays by buying their goods and services. And many other ideas.
2. Ability to think out of the Box. Positive. The North-South Highway, Putrajaya, KLIA, Petronas Towers etc – all over Malaysia. No Dr Alfred Winsemius for him.
3. Compassion. Too Positive. Honourable Senator, if not the Tun you would not see very rich Opposition leaders.

For the MCA Senator who thinks he is very well educated and meritocracy is the benchmark for all in our beloved Malaysia. Honourable Senator here is the latest hot from the press on the latest comment by your clansman and spiritual leader’s son of your spiritual homeland, Singapore.
http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/10/05/pm-sg-leaders-dont-have-to-be-most-well-educated/
MERITOCRACY is no more in the balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore where there is no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, cheating, lying, voyeurism, spying, faking by fakirs, etc but only profiteering and money grab culture by its Government . You are so out of date as an Honourable Senator by showing your lack of savvy about World Affairs.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

For the appointed Senator in the Dewan Rakyat who is out of date and ad-libbed like a copy-cat his peers remarks – MCA. Dr M out of tune.
To keep you up to date, the DEMOCRACY in Hong Kong is more advance than in the spiritual homeland of your spiritual leader, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore which has yet to take the NEXT STEP IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY. Hong Kong has a significant history of enjoying freedoms – of personal expression, to protest, of the press, of JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE. that are all part of the democratic model which does not exist in the Republic of Singapore.
And Honourable Senator, please be prepared that within 25 years or earlier, the Republic of Singapore without the poisoned chalice TPPA (if you know what this means) for our beloved Malaysia, will have to make a choice :-
1. To become the 53rd State of the Union with the great United States. Then, we can fill up the Johor Straits till it becomes just a monsoon drain with a chain linked fence as the border. We can say ‘ Selamat Pagi ‘ to our giant neighbour every morning !
2. To become a British Colony again through the front door, not like the Independence of the Colony of Singapore was through the back-door ! Even Scotland with its human and natural resources wants out of the United Kingdom. They would have succeeded if not for DEMOCRATIC BRAINWASHING in the last 10 of the Scottish Independence Referendum through the use of FEAR. AND THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE HAS NO HUMAN OR NATURAL RESOURCES OF ANY KIND BUT ONLY THROUGH THE USE OF BLUFFOLOGY ON IGNORANT FOLKS LIKE YOU ! A programmed brainwashed zombie !
3. To merge again with Malaysia. But a good horse does not return to old pastures according to an ancient saying. Does your command of 1,000 Chinese characters enable you to grasp the meaning of this apart from the the SCYP ?
4. To maintain status quo with the full-fledged military of 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkha Guards, F-35, Apaches, AWACS, 9 submarines, corvettes, rusting tanks, a strategic S$2 billions water reserve, secret caverns, bomb-proofed shelters, spies – ducks, swallows and all, long range artillery, bomb-disposal squads etc. and 99.99% foreign talents (FTs).
I am sure you are amazed that the Repbulic of Singapore is only a figment of your mind and everyone else. It is just a virtual mirage created for the convenience of the Cold War and is now just an appendage or vestige of that War waiting for an eventual resolution of its DESTINY. So far no good ! No matter how hard the 0.01% of the elites try their level best to punch above its weight arrogantly or to re-invent itself, HISTORY IS THE FINAL ARBITER like Sparta, Palembang, Hong Kong, Gibraltar, etc. even though it has the weakening support of the great United States. Why ? NO ONE SAW THAT ONLY ONE SMART GUY HELD UP THE WHOLE SHOW ONLY IN HIS LIFETIME BASED ON HIS OUT-DATED 1947 BRILLIANT LAW DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIGE with thick smoke and much broken mirrors ! And at the end of the day, this guy ended up with 28 failed Polcies for Singapore plus an unending stream of foreigners RICH AND POOR to bolster up the GDP OF THE ONE-STREET TOWN OF SINGAPORE ! Thanks to Uncle Sam !
Despite your dissatisfaction with our Malaysian society which was expressed in a Freudian manner – Dr M out of tune.’ Malaysia will stand in goodstead with its good people the Malays and the non-Malays united and standing together to face off the internal and external interlopers who FOREVER WANT US TO DRINK OUT OF THE POISONED CHALICE LIKE THE TPPA TO MAKE US SUBSERVIENT TO THEIR DESIRES. I am sure you are loyal to our Yang Di Pertuna Agong as you have sworn so before being anointed as an Honourable Senator. You only dream about your spiritual homeland ruled by your spiiritual leader in bed. OK. I would not tell anyone about this.

I am now as confused as anyone else on what the word ‘ DEMOCRACY ‘ means. As far as I know within the Malaysian context, it is one person one vote. I thought that was it – DEMOCRACY. But recent events and more distant ones arising from the implosion of the Communist World in 1989 which led to the new re-think from black is black and white is white of the Cold War to the brand new version of Pax America, Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights for the World. 25 years later in 2014, this spiel benefitted not the great United States but the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa).
As a matter of curiousity about basics, the venerable Oxford English Dictionary defines DEMOCRACY thus :
1. A form of government in which people have a voice in the exercise of power, TYPICALLY through elected representatives.
2. A state governed in such a way.
3. Control of a group by the majority of its members.
Even the Oxford English Dictionary found it difficult to defined DEMOCRACY in a single sentence but required three sentences to define a single word. No wonder there are so many types of DEMOCRACIES in the World. And one of the most enduring ones is the MALAYSIAN DEMOCRACY.
After the end of the Cold War, the Land of the Free demanded that Democracies should be administered in a more holistic ( I copy ) manner. I remember two murderous dictators on the Iberian Peninsula, Salazar and Franco were permitted to die peacefully in bed without a trial or shot or hanged in full view of the TV cameras in the name of DEMOCRACY. Such are the fortunes of War which belong to the victors.
The Arab Spring which purportedly was ignited by the self-immolation of an unfortunate human being, swept right through like a tsunami, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria after Iraq and Afghanistan were apparently secured. This hop-stepped into Ukraine and now Hong Kong. Only the zero sum game for ancient Egypt which stands astride the Suez Canal which yields a solid revenue of US$5 billions per annum. All the oil installations in these unfortunate countries are now secured leaving millions of people displace, hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children dead or injured with remote villages and mosques which have not seen the horrors of war for centuries, now destroyed or badly damaged.
The much trumpeted Arab Spring was supposed to bring DEMOCRACY TO THE ARABS IN THESE LANDS WHO ONLY DESIRE JOBS, FOOD AND SHELTERS AND HAD NOT KNOWN DEMOCRACY BEFORE THE BIRTH OF DEMOCRACY THROUGH THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND FAST TREK TO 2014 ! Now, every Arab State which had a visit from the Arab Spring, are fighting each other internally as though according to some pre=aranged plan.
From the Arab lands, the Arab Spring hop-step to Ukraine and now onto to the very wealthy State of Hong Kong. Democracy at work always to safeguard the vital oil supply and whatever which is essential for geo=political power. Dictators were swept up and destroyed sometimes killed on the spot without trial. But their are still some dictators who are still in play as large as life !
And the on-going process of demonstrations for full universal suffrage in the once timid and docile Colony of Hong Kong which was under British rule for 155 years without a single squeak of protest for DEMOCRACY ?
In Hong Kong, there is a population of 7 millions. We can observe that the 80,000 protestors wore expensive T shirts and clothes over their well fed bodies. All who looked below th age of 30, spoke English with an American twang which confirmed their good life-style overseas and from the wealthy middle-class. Not only do they sport Western names but probably have the same religion too. This in comparison with the Malaysian tepid crowd of 5,000 which were enumerically enhanced to over 100,000 gives lie to the Malaysian claim because we could see with our own eyes what a 80,000 crowd of protesters look on TV. Finally, whilst the young Malaysian proxies would check in for only 3 hours with the alleged KFC coupons in their pockets, the Hong Kong group with their own money and beliefs will be sustainable and last quite awhile if not broken up by the authorities.
But the most durable and sustainable group of protesters will be the Singaporeans who is trying their level best to get back their hard-earned CPF money in their life-times. Like in Hong Kong, the Singaporeans protests to their Rulers, are like the hail-storms falling on the Great Wall of China – immovable and uncompromising !
Fortunately, thanks to our forefathers and those holistic Prime Ministers who came after them after Merdeka in 1957, we Malaysians have our own style of Malaysian Democracy which has stood us in goodstead through thick and thin, through crises and pitfalls.
This is why I always exhort my Malay compatriots to stand united together and also with the non-Malays in the face of tempatations, seductions, trouble-making etc from domestic or outside sources to defend and safeguard the Natioin’s heritage, legacy, the Islam religion, culture, the ancient Royal Sultanates, the Constitution and other appropriate national icons because the Malays in majority form the political bulwark of our Malaysian society which is now in peace, stability and prosperity. Together we will succeed in anything.
Surprisingly, Hong Kong achieved excellent results in the Asian Games, better than Singapore and Malaysia. Not too long ago, the Hong Kongers were looked down upon by others as sissies. But in 2014, 17 years after their return to China, we can see the holistic ( I copy ) results ! So far so good !
And DEMOCRACY in the West ? The last 10 days of political interference in the Scottish Independence Referendum showed the ugly side of DEMOCRACY AT WORK in a nation which has everything to be INDEPENDENT, the human and natural resources. DEMOCRATIC BRAINWASHING WON !
It pays for us in spade for us to understand that DEMOCRACY has different strokes for different folks ! If DEMOCRACY IS INDIFFERENTLY APPLIED, the reults can be disastrous. But sometimes, I wonder was a disaster a genuine human mistake or was it done deliberately ? How cynical can one be in this 21st Century World.

A screaming headline caught my eye today in an Opposition Blog, ‘ MCA. Dr M out of tune. ‘ The refrain from this nominated poliitician to the Dewan Negara is that meritocracy should be a benchmark for all . But this political gentleman is sorely out of date when his spiritual leader in his spiritual home used meritocracy to maintain and sustain his rule since 1959 to 2014. The meritocratic elite using elitism to control the have nots who became forever have-nots like in the Republic of Singapore today. Like how the British used the Currency Board to control the wealth of the natives in their Colonies to make sure none of them got rich.
This guy is out of date because the much flaunted and vaunted dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of yes men with the smartes fellow on top was dismantled by the Singapore Government in 2013. Two Singaporean Ministers made announcements that in future applicants for jobs and promotions would not be considered on their academic merits alone but also on their hidden talents. Vide Channelnewsasia. 2013.
Right up to 2013, the fellows with the best academic results in the best universities were given priority to top the rest. Titanic mistakes were made especially the loss of US108 billions in October 2008 by these dyfunctional meritocratic yes-men.
How can a person who is out of date be appointed to the Dewan Negara ? It is obvious his only reading material is the Chinese press which caters to folks who know only 1,000 Chinese characters. There are 10,000 characters in the Chinese language. A knowledge of 3,000 Chinese characters can get you a University degree.
And this appointed Dewan Negara denizen is so out of date that he does not realize that his mighty and brilliant hero with the feet of clay used meritocracy to rule and control all the have nots from 1959 to 2013 – the 99.99% proletariat ! His hero forgot or conveniently forgot that Sir Winston Churchill never went to Oxbridge ! So, this Ruler conned 2 generations of Singaporeans from whom those who knew emigrated overseas. 300,000 of them.
This appointed Senator forgot conveniently that his own appointment to the Dewan Negara is NOT MERITOCRATIC. There are hundreds of Chinese better than him. At least they know why our Tun Dr Mahathir is a great Statesman of Asia and the World and not his hero the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew who loved to spy on his neighbours personal lives. Vide Wikileaks.
Mr Senator, do you know that the 22 year Administration of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad created the 3 millions Middle Income Group of Malays who brought up the 3 millions Middle Income Group of non-Malays through using and purchasing the non-Malays goods and services ? Do you know why our general economy is so sluggish now ? It is because there is hardly any surplus cash in all the Malaysians hands ? Do you know why ? Meritocracy like the Republic of Singapore as ruled by one Ruler since 1950 ? Meritocracy /
Sir, you must be joking and it is a bad joke on human endeavours, fables and foibles if you know what I mean ?
Honourable Senator, do not try to be clever by opening your mouth at the wrong subject and at the wrong time, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ! Check the facts why your brilliant hero, Lee Kuan Yew has 28 failed Policies for Singapore without any consideration for you. Do you know your hero’s popularity has dropped from 70% down to 50% ? Thanks to out of date dysfunctional self-appointed meritocrats like you. The moment you open your mouth you speak like your clansman Lee Kuan Yew !

Our Malaysian media is so quiet in reporting interesting events in the Republic of Singapore that I can easily hear the songbird singing perched on the jacaranda tree. This is the fantasy.

What is so topical today than the distant KL demonstrations by proxies, the recent expression of unhappiness and discontent by irate Singaporeans at Hong Lim Green and finally, the Democracy for Hong Kong which erupted this week !
Holistically ( I copy ) speaking, I dare say that only the demonstrations at Hong Lim Green, Singapore have a cause. The KL demonstrations which have since subsided and the non-ennobled are now ennobled with great satisfaction, can not be compared to genuine demonstrations held in the Arab World with passion and commitment and without well-fed and well dressed proxies with the alleged KFC coupons in their pockets.
The Hong Kong demonstration for Democracy seems to be out of synchronization with time. Hong Kong was a British Colony for 155 years. During this time, there was not a squeak to demand for full Democracy as what is demanded by the hoi-polloi right now. If I remember correctly, the Hong Kongers were very fond of calling themselves with Christian names like Ramsbotham Zee or other Western names to suit the occasion. And there was a heavy overlay of a foreign relilgious belief in addition. The rich and ancient civilisation of these folks, China, is conveniently forgotten. Also, the 200 years of Western oppression is conveniently forgotten in this cyberspace Age. I cannot believe that this political Ebola virus also affects these Cantonese of Hong Kong – the easy Western liffe-style and dreams of the impossible without due regard to their ancestory and civilization. Strange.
The word Democracy is not known in this civilization of 5,000 years. A civilization which is so huge and massed by so many people that only an authoritarian Government like that ruled by an Emperor can put the country into order and work productively. This is the weakness of the giant China. This was how the colonialists exploited the Chinamen for 200 years until 1949. Is Democracy a universal thing ? Scotland ?
We have similar types who aped the bongo-bongo beliefs of the deep South of the United States. At the same time, it was quite in order to collect some baksheesh through their RM2 incorporated companies which are tax free and subsidised by our Government. Different strokes for different folks !
All our treasured history, practices, conventions, culture, heritage, legacies, Royalty from centuries of old, etc are conveniently forgotten.
We were told hundreds of thousands roamed the hot and humid streets of KL. We can compare our insipid demonstrations of 5,000 with the real 80,000 demonstrators of Hong Kong every day on TV. The reason is that our 5,000 are proxies who were allotted a task whilst the 80,000 HK demonstrators are doing it at their own free will AND HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO CONTINUE. Our Malaysians demonstrations lasted at the most a few hours and then decamped for KFC lunch !
And wonder of all wonders, an Opposition Blog claimed PDRM used 967 tear gas canisters on the insipid 5,000 demonstrators in KL and the Hong Kong Police used 87 tear gas canisters on 80,000 Hong Kong demonstrators ! Let the truth be told !
And those gentle Singaporean demonstrators to collect back their CPF money at Hong Lim Green ? I am afraid their Government is similar to the one that rules Hong Kong. It is like the Great Wall of China, immovable and uncompromising ! What is crystal clear is that the FEAR of the Ruler is very much in the minds and hearts of these Singaporean demonstrators who made sure that the crossed the Ts and dotted the Is of the rules and regulations concerning this little brown patch of grass of no more than 2 acres. But holistically ( I copy ), the Singaporean demonstrations at Hong Lim Green are genuine and topical being their earnest efforts to try to collect back their hard-earned CPF money now being churned and churned in the coffers of the Singapore Government like the Malaysian guy who could churn and churn nothing into RM100 millions in 30 years without cheating, corruption, nepotism, cronyism, lying, voyeurism, faking by fakirs, spying etc.

As we have noticed that all negative news about the Republic of Singapore are kept out of our news media especially the Chinese press for decades but the news media in Singapore freely reportED all that is bad from Malaysia. Strange. This abnormality which is a form of reverse brainwashing, has been tolerated for so long. Therefore, it is no wonder that most ignorant and unhappy Chinese kow-tow to the brilliant hero with his 28 failed Policies across the Straits and ignored their own self-esteem. With due respect, some up-dates on the much maligned CPF of squeaky clean Singpore where there is no corruption, cronyism, nepotism, lying, voyeurism, cheating, gangsterism, faking by fakirs, etc but only profiteering and money grab culture by its Government.

The daily running battle in the streets of the Republic of Singapore between those who demand their CPF money back and the Government is a situation which would have been an unbelievable scenario not too long ago.
How these innocent and trusting citizens have been kept in ignorance for so many decades since 1959 is a matter worth studying in terms of brainwashing and coercion by rulers ?
To top this off, the element of FEAR of the Ruler was instilled into the citizens sub-conscious minds to obey and kow-tow to those in command can only be described as UNDEMOCRATIC.
As it is said to compare the human development of the Republic of Singaporer with its 100% literacy of a nearly homogenous population at the present time with our beloved Malaysia progress since Merdeka in 1957 is like comparing chalk and cheese.
During this period and at the end of the day, Singapore has only shining towers inhabited by foreigners to show its only material success based entirely on MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. The original indigenous human component has been screwed up big time. It is alleged that in recent times, 300,000 middle income worthies and supporters of the Ruler expressed their deep feelings with their feet and emigrated. Where is the success of human development in the Republic of Singapore under one single Ruler since 1959 to 2014 ?
The Republic of Singapore’s proudest achievement which is broadcast annually is the importation of 10 or more foreign multi-billionaires annually to boost the GDP much to the chagrin of its worthy thinking citizens ! Has all the white rabbits come out of the hat ? No more originality ? No more Dr Alfred Winsemius of Singapore’s Master Plan fame ?
As we march further into the 21st Century, for the Republic of Singapore it is like marching across the tundra towards the North Pole – a bleak and cold scenario which is covered instead of snow but by money, money, money. The bleakness of such a delliberately created scenario can only benefit the 0.01% of the citizens but not the 99.99% ! In desperation, the poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia, TPPA was designed, created and made in Singapore in 2005 for the perfect fit to tap into the rich Malaysian resources for Singapore’s ultimate survival.
And so it is, we see unfolding day by day with the discovery of the ever efficient gigantic money sucking machine set up by the Republic’s Government since the early 1970s. The full fledged development of this insidious money sucking machine was only brought into full play from the mid-1980s onwards right up to 2008 by riding subconciously the Kondratieff Wave. With so many billions of Singapore Dollars now in speculative play around the World in the deepest and longest Recession ever known, this calls for another study on the ultimate conclusion of such a risky endeavour which was undertaken under the guise in the name of a Sovereign Fund which money actually belongs to its citizens. Such profits so made or lost do not accrue to the citizens.
IT SEEMS TO THE ORDINARY MAN/WOMAN IN THE STREET THAT THE MONEY OF THE CITIZENS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE IS INEXTRICABLY MIXED UP WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S IF ANY, IN SOME HIDDEN COFFERS ! How this unholy mess is going for decades to be sorted out let the disbanded dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top provided some answers ! A pure case of BUNGLE OF THE FIRST ORDER !
THERE IS AN ANCIENT SAY, ‘ IF THERE IS HARMONY IN THE HOUSE, THEN YOU CAN WIN FIGHTING IN THE STREETS (or interfere in the domestic politics and affairs of other countries) !’
And horror of all horrors, the redoubtable political team in power in Pulau Pinang which has done NOTHING in our National Development since its inception in 1966 but only to twiddle their thumbs, contemplate their navels, and collected holistic ( I copy ) and substantial Federal and State Governments allowances, worships this balmy squeaky clean Republic which is now shown to BUNGLE ITS 28 POLICIES big time due to lack of vision but plenty of self-aggrandization and pride dated 1947.
These fellows never used their brains in this copy-cat Institute that if the Republic of Singapore is THAT GOOD IN THE CREATION OF WEALTH FOR ALL BUT NOT THE 0.01%, WHY IT IS NOT BLESSED BY THE UNITED NATIONS AS THE PARAGON OF POLITICAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE POOR NATIONS OF THE WORLD ? All I can say is the UN is over-polite to comment.

Every coin has two sides.
On the flip side is a story seldom told or hidden. In my previous comment on the much maligned CPF Trust Fund of Singapore and its now irate lifetime contributors, I drew the attention to the legal 2+% per annum interest payable by the Singapore Government to the CPF. I also brought up the interesting achievement of the Malaysian guy who could turn a minimum sum of money into RM 100 millions over 30 years without a monopoly, stealing, cheating, cronyism, nepotism etc. through the expediency of the use of the velocity of money, just by selling and buying.
The other side of the coin in the financial affairs of a Singaporean citizen is the HDB which builds affordable 99 year leasehold flats for all Singaporean citizens. This HDB organization is so holistic ( I copy ) that a Minister who was in charge many years ago, committed hara-kiri with some unprescribed medicines after some misdemeanour. His case remains a mystery to this day.
The HDB uses money from the common pool of money garnered by the Government from the much maligned CPF and maybe other sources. The cost of building a HDB flat has never been revealed. But the selling prices are known to all and sundry. This opacity gives rise to alleged accusations of the HDB or the Government profiteering on the Singaporean citizens hard earned money contributed to the CPF !
In other words, a citizen buys a HDB flat which was built with his hard-earned money via the Government coffers at a pre-determined selling price which basic cost price has never been revealed.
Here lies the nub of the whole mechanism of churning and churning the 2+% interest per annum money legally borrowed from the much maligned CPF as SGS bonds.
For a citizen who began to contribute at 21 years old, the multiple times which the money was churned over till his withdrawal date at over 60 years cannot be fathomed. But what is known is from the Malaysian guy who churned and churned over his minimum sum for over 30 years, it is possible to make RM 100 millions out of nothing ! The Singapore Government is known to be squeaky clean and money efficient. It is not beyond them to make much more with all the information and financial instruments at hand.
Until the demise of the much used CLOB of the Stock Exchange of Malaysia and Singapore, this CLOB was also used as an adjunct to the main contributor of funds at the second tier level like the HDB. The CLOB was a captive source of money like the CPF and the HDB etc until its dissolution in 2000 to the curses and insults of the Singaporeans.
The creation of the so-called Sovereign Fund of Singapore was through the CLOB, 1970-2000 but was dissolved by 2000 and the all important HDB which sells lease-hold flats to the citizens.
To purchase a 99 year leasehold flat is like buying a box of air for 99 years which reverts back to the Government at the end of the 99 years. The citizen ends up owning nothing and whatever money he has had was passed back to the Government (which used his cheap money to construct the flat) at the point of purchase or by instalments. Smart but no compassion. Not only are the citizens minds controlled, so too are their pockets. All the money is sucked into the Government coffers looked after by the highest paid Ministers in the World ! In the meantime, inflation at 2-3% per annum raises its ugly head and the poor citizen or the whole lot of them, after deducting the 2+% interest per annum from say an inflation rate of 2-3% per annum, ends up paying more to the Government instead of receiving any surplus from this LIFE TIME MONEY SUCKING MECHANISM.
From the facts, it is crystal clear how the Singaporean Government made tons of money like that Malaysian guy who churned and churned his money for 30 years and made RM 100 millions FROM NOTHING.
But the Singapore Government made billions and billions of Singapore dollars from something WHICH IS THE CPF MONEY BELONGING TO THE CITIZENS, THE PROFIT MAKING HDB, THE CLOB, 1970 – 2000, etc.
Holistically ( I copy ) only Canada, Norway and the Gulf States have true SOVEREIGN FUNDS because the money is derived from the natural resources of each country. In the case of the Republic of Singapore, the money of the SINGAPORE SOVEREIGN FUND BELONGS TO ITS CITIZENS BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR MONEY WHICH CREATES THE SINGAPORE SOVEREIGN FUND. The difference between the latter and the former is like chalk and cheese.
The much maligned CPF is linked to the HDB through the intervention of the Singapore Government which does not permit a single cent to leak from the wonderful money raising machine which has been set-up. It is so very good that the Singapore Government nowadays throw out freebies to the naive and the gullible citizens.
And yet no one notices the great inequality of this set-up which has no compassion – the money sucking machine linked to the CPF, the HDB and the CLOB of the Stock Exchange until 2000 etc which supplied free and legal money to the Singapore Government coffers all the time ! The legal jargon is in the legal nitty-gritties !
Let us hope our naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians learn from the good points of our smart friends and not APE THE BAD THINGS LIKE HAVING SKY-HIGH SALARIES FOR CIVIL SERVANT CEOs OF OUR GLCS WHO HAVE NO ACCOUTABILITY OR OWNERSHIP.

Every weekend is a good weekend to ponder over the unending complaints of the irate Singaporean citizens over their forever locked in money with their squeaky clean Government. Thanks to the World of the Web, sneaky little secrets of holistic ( I copy ) Governments cannot now be hidden under a Dunlopillo mattress. Everything is now so transparent. This of course gives rise to my thoughts on the velocity of the much maligned CPF Trust funds which were legally borrowed by the Singapore Government at 2+% per annum and returned at 2+% per annum.
Recalling the interview of Singapore’s Best Civil Servant, Ngiam Tong Dow, his ramblings only gave out half the story. For example, I know a fellow who began with no money but could increase his wealth to RM 100 millions over 30 years by the simple use of the velocity of money. This naturally gave rise to the thought that the Singapore Governement through its commercial agencies from the use of the velocity of money by buying and selling, could increase the money owned by its citizens manifold like this guy who began with nothing and made RM 100 millions !
If a Singaporean who is 21 years old and his S$100,000 in the much maligned CPF which Trust money is lent legally to the Singapore Government at 2+% per annum, he would have gained only 2+% per annum until he could only withdraw the capital sum at whatever age above the previously statutory age of 55. In the meantime, his S$ 100,000 has been churned many times over right up to his withdrawable age of say 64. Like the Malaysian guy, the Singapore Government has holistically ( I copy ) made millions and millions out of the original S$ 100,000. Now I understand why the Temasek and GIC call their monies SOVEREIGN FUNDS. In the case of Malaysia, the SOVEREIGN FUNDS ARE BORROWED FUNDS. Only Norway and the oil rich countries have REAL SOVEREIGN FUNDS.
As naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians, it pays for us to learn the good things from others and WE SHOULD NOT APE THE BAD THINGS LIKE SKY HIGH SALARIES FOR NON-ACCOUNTABLE AND NON-OWNERSHIP OF GLCS BY CIVIL SERVANTS.

The wonderful thing about screaming headlines is that these usually tell more than one story.
The screaming headline which hit my eyes and my eye-balls nearly drop off yesterday was, ‘ Putrajaya urged to move Penang airport to man-made island.’
Immediately my thoughts were that whoever said this was in full support of the Federal Government which is alleged to be reluctant to throw good money after bad. Further, the newly established Penang Institute, a copy of Singapore’s think-tank did not seem to be thinking within the context of the historical background of Pulau Pinang and Quedah before the arrival of the British. Vide. Anderson. ‘ Political and Commercial Considerations relative to the Malayan Peninsula and the Straits Settlements.’ 1824. Maybe, the Penang Institute does not have a copy of this book or the smartest fellow on top like Singapore’s dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of yes-men with the smartest fellow on top. The pyramid has since been dismantled in 2013 due to abuse from over-use since 1959 ! And some academics were found to be FAKES OR FAKIRS !
From historical facts, we may re-draw the picture that Pulau Pinang and Quedah was a single political and socio-economic unit before the arrival of the British at the end of the 18th Century.
Wonder of all historical wonders, at the present time, the political and socio-economic needs and destinies of Pulau Pinang and Kedah converge into a zenith which if handled properly with both hands will turn into the CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY AND THE SUBSEQUENT CREATION OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS FOR THE RAKYAT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CHANNEL ! This should be done and could be done given the poliltical will and aspirations.
For the folks to APE the Republic of Singapore is but a pipe-dream !
These two places are as different as CHALK AND CHEESE ! In the case of the Republic of Singapore which actually relied on its material success today was based on BLUFFOLOGY which is the overlay for the great success of Dr Alfred Winsemius’, ( Adviser to the Singapore Government 1961 – 1984 ) Master Plan for changing the entreport Singapore into what it is today. But unfortunately, the difficult development of human resources was left to the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew who screwed the human assets big time with his 28 Policy failures which were inextricably linked with one another through his rule 1959 -2014. The indigenous population dropped from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2012.
For the State Government of Pulau Pinang to APE Singapore is to be a non-starter ( a word I learnt from a famous Singaporean lady lawyer ) or at best, the State will end up in a dead end. Here is a true life snippet about Pulau Pinang.
In 1972, after everyone kissed and made-up, I was part of a Federal Government delegation led by the then Minister of Finance, to explore what KL can help the island State. We met the Chief Ministeer, Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu. Throughout the whole one hour of discussion, the nub of the matter was the constant refrain for funds from KL. After one hour, like a greenhorn, I interjected why the State Government did not raise funds by increasing their very low quit rents and assessments. I could see all the faces became flushed and could not understand why until many years later. The discussion ended abruptly and we all went home. Fast trek backwards.
In 1966, my friend who was the head of the sewage department as well as the Superintendant of the Auxilliary Police, Pulau Pinang told me that he was sent to Honolulu, Hawaii to study how they treated their sewage. He found that the equipment which was used, was very expensive and the State could not afford it. That was that. It is the same situation today. All the sewage from Georgetown is pushed by the currents to Batu Ferringhi.
But why does the Penang Institute think only in terms of the Republic of Singaporre and not within the context of our beloved Malaysia with all the goodies for all ?
Even if the brainy fellows in the Institute think Pulau Pinang is in a parlous financila state without the BIG BUCKS, I beg to differ. IDEAS CREATE MONEY. NOT MONEY CREATES MONEY.
Therefore, within the context of the screaming headline made in Pulau Pinang by the Penang Institute of smart and meritocratic fellows, a man-made island of the size of a full-fledged international airport will cost at least RM 100 per square foot with nothing to begin with. I let the smart folks at the Penang Institute earn their keep by working out how much it is going to cost just to re-claim the man-made island of say 1,000 hectares from the sea sans all infra-structures etc.
This purported gigantic sum of ringgits might as well be spend on the Rakyat’s well-being and keep the UN Heritage Georgetown in its present form which has its origins in the 19th Century. And let the Penang Institute think tank think of something worthwhile working on some socio-economic projects with the Kedah State Government. This is what an elected Government should do constructively for the benefits of the Rakyat. Let this be an example of what the party which rules Pulau Pinang can do after doing nothing by way of national development for 48 years but twiddling their thumbs and comtemplated their navels plus the good allowances form taxpayers via the Federal Government. So far so good !
I am presently surprised that the State Government of Pulau Pinang with full access to the balmy squeaky clean WORLD-CLASS Singapore which has no corruption, no cronyism, no nepotism, no lying, no voyeurism, no faking of degrees, no cheating, COULD NOT COME UP WITH FAIR, TRANSPARENT AND COGENT ANSWERS OF HOW TO CREATE JOBS AND MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT AFTER 8 LONG YEARS. I could see so very many answers which could not be found in the Republic of Singapore.
Why ? The answer is please do not waste time and money quarreling and demonstrating in the hot and humid streets of KL. Then, you have plenty of time to create jobs and money for the deserving Rakyat who supported you !
It is still not too late. Remember it takes TWO TO TANGO AND THE OTHER ONE IS NOT THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE, IT IS KEDAH !

I found myself duty bound to provide the real information to all Bloggers on what really is happening now in balmy squeaky clean Singapore because nothing whatsoever is reported about that place by our naive, hospitable and friendly media. It is this lop-sided news reporting which actually contributes to the brain-washing techniques of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore. In recent years, the support for the PAP Government has fallen from 70% down to 50% due to the effects of its money, money, money for the elites policy. Its latesst scandal is the American discovery of academic fakes originatiing out of the much vaunted ex-meritocratic Republic.

The balmy squeaky clean Republic of Singapore which has no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, voyeurism, lying, cheating but has profiteering and money grab culture of the Government is never short of excitement these days. The much maligned CPF of the citizens’ Trust money belonging to the citiizens were recently discovered by the citizens themselves that what goes into the Governenment coffers legally returns legally without an extra cent in appreciation. There has been months of complaints and on certain days, the complaints were in torrents.
However, nothing can beat the latest blemish on the balmy squeaky clean Republic’s reputation as the American discovery of academic fakes amongst the ranks of the topmost academics in much vaunted meritocratic State with the smartest fellow on top. The dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid has since been dismantled in 2013 after much used since 1959. Even my relative who never did a single stroke of work in Singapore, could purchase a set of references in the 1970s to qualify for him to obtain the FCA ! A selection of these true complaints are as follows :-

With due respect, we have always been given to understand that the squeaky clean Republic of Singapore has no corruption, no cronyism, no nepotism, no voyeurism, no lying, no cheating but only profiteering and money grab culture by its Government. Of late, it was the great United States’ West Virginia University which discovered one of the great frauds perpetuated in the National Unviersity of Singapore in recent years – the home of World class academia and meritocracy. However, the latter has been dismantled since 2013. Who knows how many more are to be found in the Republic.
I know for sure my relative in the 1970s without being an accountant working in a firm of professional accountants could purchase a set of testimonial references to his profession in Singapore and claimed the Fellowship of Accountants of England and Wales in 1979 after he qualified in 1970 but did not work as an professional accountant at all. Because of the pressure of meritocracy true or false, the weak are forced to cheat ! The following reports confirm :-

It is surprising to note that the Scots discovered they were conned after 307 years of their Union with England. Why ? They were led to believe that they have nothing but only the Scottish moors and lochs were the assets. Their traditional food was oat porridge and haggis. Their poverty drove them to serve the British Empire for hundreds of years as soldiers and hardy pioneers, some of whom ended up in Malayan plantations and mines. The Scots were generally given to serving the English interests as soldiers who died by the thousands in the battlefields of the British Empire. And suddenly, oil was discovered in the North Sea right on Scotland’s doorstep in the 1970s !
If is also surprisiing that there are still 50% of the Scottish population who fervently believe in perfidious Albion like the Malaysian Chinese who believe in a virtual brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 28 failed Policies for Singapore ! Let us not discover that our beloved Malaysia has been conned after 307 years by the Singaporean inspired, designed, created and furtively promoted poisoned chalice TPPA like the Scots and their Union with England !
An interesting write-up on present day Japan appeared in http://www.sovereignman.com/ on 15 September 2014. It is interesting because of the fact that the first part explains the dilemma of the Japanese Government on how to deal with security of the aged as regards their social security and health. This applies succinctly to Singapore’s dilemma. The second part gives an insight into the huge debt which Japan has accumulated in relation to its GDP and the debt servicing to come. This clearly illustrates the Malaysian dilemma if any !

I could not believe my eyes which were struck by the double screaming headline in the naive, hospitable, friendly UMNO owned New Straits Times, Business Times Supplement Page B4, September 15 2014 ‘DON’T BLAME FTA’. I read on, ‘ Trade Minister Muhammad Lufti said on Friday the Government has failed to develop domestic industries that in turn will lead the country to post a widening trade deficit from a free trade agreement (FTA). He continued,’ It’s because while we are liberalising trade, we are not developing our industries. It is not because of a free trade deal. It is because we have not done our homework. ‘
For a short moment I felt mighty proud that our Government has at last realised the folly of signing the Singapore inspired, designed, created and furtively promoted poisoned chalice the TPPA for our beloved Malaysia. But a further glance at this significant article revealed that the Minister was from the Indonesian Government speaking professionally and honestly about the pitfall of signing Free Trade Agreements with advanced countries.
I became crestfallen.
Fast trek to our beloved Malaysia’s intentions on the poisoned chalice TPPA, even though with cast iron conditions, to me a Free Trade Agreement is completely Free. There is no such thing as a Free Trade Agreement with this and that condition. Conditions imposed on a Free Trade Agreement is not a Free Trade Agreement at all. We either have it all Free Trade or nothing Free at all. The deluge of goods and services onto a wide open Malaysian market will definitely kill everyting in its path, the nascent industries, the businesses, the Malays and the non-Malays and all except those in the Free Trade Zones (FTZ). With such a scenario, where is the Malaysian support for Malaysian icons like the UMNO ?
Not only that, our beloved Malaysia’s Free Trade Zones where most of the foreign owned industries are located are designed to manufacture tax free products for export and are not owned by MALAYSIANS. The export manufacturers association or council is under the control of these foreign owners. This entity has no objection to the Singapore inspired, designed, created and furtively promoted poisoned chalice TPPA for our beloved Malaysia.
In the case of the Republic of Indonesia, a Minister of its Government transparently and holistically ( I copy ) explained to its Rakyat what a FREE TRADE AGREEMENT IS ABOUT.
If the poisoned chalice TPPA is signed by Malaysia, the Malays and the non-Malays will be killed by their own hands like the Red Indians of North America. They signed. They died without a whimper. Red Indians of North America where are you ?

Even the Pope has come out to sound the alarm on many small wars making up World War III.
When the Cold War was hot the World was a simpler place to live in. Black was black. White was white. And now, from the little blossoms of Arab Spring with the blessings of Uncle Sam, not only have we returned to square one as in the case of Egypt after the deaths and injuries to thousands of innocents but many little Pandora’s boxes have been opened and many little wars were spawned. The myriad of think-tanks in Washington DC must be working overtime. This sad spectacle in the Middle East of killing and injuring by the thousands of innocent men, women and children took its origins a longtime ago. The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan created the frieze which has become a 4 dimensional bloody movie, like a Hollywood movie but with no ending because sometimes the good guys becomes bad guys and vice-versa. What a mess which has been wrought upon formerly despotic States !
The whole World was looking towards a long period of peace after the demise of the Soviets in 1989. It is not to be so. Instead the focus shifted to the break-up of despotic regimes to be replaced by democratic ones. This is easier said than done. What used to be a bi-polar World of the West and the Communists has become a multi-polar World of conflicts and aggressionn not only in the Middle East but Africa as well. The countries involved were mostly those which were firmly under the heel of despotic rule in the past. Without the lids of these pressure cookers of discontent, we can only expect one result – turmoil.
Turmoil arising from the struggle for power between well-armed groups. What happened to the thinking of the think-tanks of Washington DC ? Do these multiple eruptions of localised wars serve the bigger interests of the Israelis ? A strategy of strength through the weakness of the surrounding digits or cohorts ? I believe this sort of strategy might help in the short term but in the longer term, human and financial resources would be drained away to reveal another new ball-game in the park.
How the innocent games of the Arab Spring going to end ? Or is it the beginning of the end ? The end for whom is the interesting $64,000 question ? The question also arises why folks living comfortably in the West decided to get themselves killed with certainty in the Middle East ? Arising from the on-going conflicts, more questions are raised than could be answered !
The above events put into context a picture of our beloved Malaysia’s security and foreign policy because the World is no longer a simple place to live with all the complexities which have arisen due to age old or centuries old animosities which have accrued in certain societies. We see the the American example of spreadiing themselves very thin on the ground, as regards its human and financial resoources. Maybe with a beautiful hindsight, the think tanks of Washington DC were not thinking a few years ago about today’s consequences which evolved from unexpected quarters.
I said, ‘ Oops !’ when President Obama said he had no strategy last week. I exclaimed, ‘ Oh ! Oh ! When he said he has a strategy this week.’ In between, a couple of innocents were beheaded.
From the foregoing, the super duper armed might of the great United States is one thing, the brain power which drives this dinosaur is another. It pays to ponder that the conventions of War as were in the past could be out-dated and that a new re-think encompassing all the values and cultures of the non-Western World not based on Aristotle or Plato but on Islam or Far Eastern values would strengthen the mind-set of the West. This is difficult in view of the close nexus of Western politics and the industrial-military complex established in the 1950s.
So far so good for our beloved Malaysia. Fortunately, those who want to do us down shot themselves in the foot. For those who have the dire responsibility to safeguard us the citizens our families and friends, the World is but a click away.
It pays us well to remember the thinking of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with hsi 28 failed Policies for Singapore on his personal security. For decades, whenever he attended a function, a bomb disposal squad would scour the area for 100 meters from the centre-point, climbing up trees, looking at flower pots etc, before he arrived.

It is a wonder how fear has been instilled in the mindset of the Malaysian Chinese by the brillliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 18 failed Policies for Singapore to this day. it is Strange that full grown adults are so feaful of a distant personality that some Bloggers just delete any mention of him in their Blogs and individuals would avoid speaking about this brilliant fellow. Perhaps, one day the whole story on how this was done on a mass of human beings using Pavlov techniques would be told. Here are further examples of complaints from his distraught citizens who lost so much money that they have no fear of their ruler since 1959 anymore.

You have been talking, I have been talking, all Bloggers have been talking and the deaf, dumb and deaf have also been talking. We talked about everything but the strength and virtues of the Malays. I now talk with only a very scanty knowledge of the Malays whom I dealt with for a short lifetime of about 100 years !
!. The Malays have nothing to fear about all those fellows and folks who claime to be superior. All you need do is to look at the mess whether it is political, or socio-economic in their own homelands. Their utterings of superiority is just a reflection of their own inferiority complex. Remember the arrogant folks who used to tell the wide wide World that they ‘ punch above their weight ‘. No longer. The brilliant guy with the 28 failed Policies is now found to have feet of clay and the tomes of his sage-like utterings are becoming an embarassment but will help a few including myself or many to obtain their PhDs in time.
A famous American President once said, ‘ The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’ Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
2. The Malays as a group in MALAYSIA have done extremely well but it must be remembered that the behavioural characteristics of races are different from one another. PLEASE KNOW THYSELF ! There are already many Malays who operate independently and successfully. But what the Malays need as always like any other race or Nation is a leader somewhat like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is/was aware of the needs of the Rakyat right down to the padi fields and the wet-markets ALL THE TIME. Sacrifice is a word which I heard only from 2nd tier UMNO leaders regularly. No need to be like Icarus flying towards the Sun, The key word is NORMAL, NORMALITY or NORMALCY. Man proposes. God disposes. It is shameful to crash like that brilliant fellow at the end of the day. History will never forgive fools as polite historians will not say so today but they will tomorrow !
3. The Malays must be mindful of their colourful past and chequered history how they were enticed into all sorts of Agreements and Treaties by the wily and cunning colonialists like now, like the poisoned chalice TPPA. Why ? Please look around our beloved Malaysia. The strategic geo-political position, the bountiful natural resorces and the eclectic mix of civilised peoples living in harmony, peace and prosperity – and if you live in a tiny place with nothing but its only natural resource is BLUFFOLOGY, are you not peeved at the easy life-style of your neighbour. Of course, this guy will do something to do us down by whatever means.
This tells us that in order for our beloved Malaysia to sustain its renown life-style and its trappings, and within the context of traditions, conventions, heritage, legacy, religion and the Royal Sultanates WHICH IS MALAY, the Malays must STAND STEADFAST TOGETHER ALWAYS. So far so good ! But even with the huge tsunami of billions and billions of American bucks, our good olde Malaysia nearly caved in politically but was saved by chance due to the faulty leadership of whoever in charge to atomize the Malays. This has failed so far but the danger of this threat is still there. But a time will come, when the clowns will be changed and replaced by effective digits. Who knows ? Hence it pays for the Malays to remember always about the importance of SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM. I am very concern because the Malaysia as we now know it or to be improved upon is in the hands of the Malays. And I certainly do not like to see my friends shooting themselves in the foot. Just a normal stance for all issues with commonsense will see us through any eventuality. There is no need to APE anyone. We do our own thing BECAUSE WE KNOW WE ARE BETTER !
I strongly believe the Malays will be strong and united in this oasis from political and socio-economic strife and want if they know who their real enemies are which are very few and be on guard always.

What a moment in history for us all ! Sir, you, the Bloggers and I ! There is this famous saying, ‘ What goes round comes around.’ Does this strike a bell or bells in our heads ? 1965 ? 1965 the Separation of the Republic of Singapore headed by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew from the University of Cambridge ? 2014 September 18 – the Scottish Independence ?
Scotland after 300 years of union with England, Wales and Northern Ireland wants its own independence. She has a land mass of 35,000 square miles, loads of oil just off shore, the new North West Passage ends on its shores and the Scots are a dynamic, hardy and astute tribe but given to do things for others. Sad to say they also shot 25 innocents in Batang Kali when they were the Royal Scots Guards ! However, the important point to note is that this country of 5.4 millions Scots has a better outlook for her own sustainability and survival than the rest of the United Kingdom. And on this very day, the head political honchos of Whitehall are hell-bent to turn the independent thoughts of the Scots back to ye olde England. As I mentioned before, it is a mystery to me why the Scots left it so late to seek for independence and not when oil was discovered in the late 1970s ! Better late than never.
In 1965, we saw the Republic of Singapore sailed away from our shores and we thought that was it. In fact, we found to our dismay that this land-locked aircraft carrier never sailed away, It could not. This Republic of the size of the Isle of Wight has through the years and decades set itself up as our beloved Malaysia’s great rival, mentor and teacher with the obsession of conquering us and our beloved Malaysai through proxies who are now proven to be clowns if not professional political job seekers. What do all these facts tell us ?
In the case of Scotland, we are right in the middle of the making of a viable and independent Nation with an adequate dynamic population and valuable assets, both natural and financial. The country is led by many leaders of worth and experience.
In the case of the Republic of Singapore in 1965, the one-street town was led by a brilliant Lee Kuan Yew who achieved a brilliant law degree in 1947 from the University of Cambridge. A Nation of 2 million souls in an entreport with no natural resources but its only natural resource, ‘ BLUFFOLOGY.’
Fast trek to 2014, what goes around comes around. The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew through 49 years of independence has accumulated 28 failed Policies for Singapore. It is apparent that his character and mindset are still stuck in the portals of his venerable University of Cambridge. And soon, the citizens of the Republic of Singapore unlike the Scots have to decide on the following 4 options.
1. To unite with the great United States as the 53rd state of the Union.
2. To become a British Colony again. But the Scots want out !
3. To merge with Malaysia again. But an ancient saying, ‘ A good horse does not return to old pastures.’
4. To maintain status quo of a land-locked aircraft carrier. AND MORE OF THE SAME FOR THE CITIZENS ! The pro-TPPA folks where are you ?

It was only a matter of time before the 28th Policy failure of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 27th Policy failures for Singapore is revealed. The 28th Failed Policy is the infamous CLOB which acted like a yo-yo between the 2 territories in the sole interests of those movers and shakers of the balmy tropical isle from 1964 – 2000. There were 13 crashes during this period after which there was none on the Bursa. To the astute observer, after the elites of Singapore had taken preventive actions in anticipation of a rise or a fall of the CLOB, a warning appeared in the back pages of the Straits Times. Money is sucked out at every turn of the Stock Exchange index without risk. Suddenly, the Malaysian Foreign Exchange Control was introduced and by 2000, the CLOB was no more. There were insulting and abusive complaints in the Straits Times which went on for weeks. From the day the CLOB was dissovled, there were no more crashes on the Malaysian Bursa 2000-2014.
In the early 1980s, a former share brokers’ clerk was caught at the Subang International Airport having RM 4 millions in cash on his person. Such were the money activities connected with the operation of the CLOB. He was again caught by the Securities Commission for cheating minorities not too long ago. Vide. Securities Commission Annual Reports. 2011-2012.

What is unfolding before our very eyes is something that is beyond common belief not too long ago ! This event which could have been avoided became a tsutnami smashing into the ancient portals of the Mother of all Parliaments all of a sudden ! It is the Scottish Independence tsunami which sent an electric shock through the smooth talking and complacent MPs of the British Parliament and the British elites – the greatest British constitutional crisis in 300 years if the Scots decide to leave Great Britain or the United Kingdom. The latest polls show 51% for independence. What happened ? Why should this political event happened now ?
To an outside observer, it seems the British political elites’ attention was drawn into something else whilst the tsutnami of the Scottish Independence was gathering storm. And adding to this, the sheer complacency and feel good feeling of an established eltie and society brought this double whammy. Their attention was drawn to the going ons in the Arab World which were of the makings of these British elites and their French counterparts. This happened at the end of the Ottoman Empire in 1919. AND NOW THEY PAY THE PRICE FOR NOT GIVING A FAIR DEAL TO THE ARABS IN 1919 ! Man proposes. God disposes.
If the Scots really voted for their independence, this shows that for those with the top jobs and responsibilities at Whitehall have let their side down en masse. In Japan, they would have to commit hara kiri !
Hence, we do fervently hope that those in power in our country today that our security is the topmost important item in our political agenda and not the fun and games of the recent past. There are unseen queer types all round us especially those who pretend to be our friends. And as I have said before, our cherished Kuala Lumpur has become an espionage centre of world standing overtaking Singapore and Bangkok. Vide.

For Saudara Abu Alya. Your comment is factual and correct. The Oxford Dictionary defines, “Profiteering’ as making excessive or unfair profits. We expect the private sector to make profits but definitely not the Government or public sector. There must be distinction or delineation of functions as regards to the public sector’s powers and responsibilites which is to encourage the private sector to make profits on a level pllaying field with the Government as the referee. In the case where the referee also makes the money originated in the Singapore Inc. Policy of the Singapore Government. This was introduced when it was found that there was an insurmountable gap between the creation of a new industrial-financial class from the entreprenuerial trading class of an entreport.
Hence, the GLCs of Singapore came into being after the initial attempt to establish industries in Jurong which all went bottom up by the early 1970s like My Fair Lady Fashion, Eupoc, Starlite Ceramics etc. The Government with its GLCs like Far East Levingston, Sembawang Shipyard, Neptune Line etc filled the gap.
In the case of our beloved Malaysia, the present Khazanah Empire should not exist at all if all those owners of MAS, etc did not let the 22 year Administration of our beloved Tun down. They did and now we end up with another gigantic problem of an Empire which has no borders and no limit to its capitalization !
With the scanty information as mentioned, Saudara Abu Alya, we can clearly see that those Civil Servants of Singapore and Malaysia are managing huge business concerns without ownership or accountability. Why should these Civil Servants be rewarded with usurious salaries way above the norm or civil service practice ?
It is now crystal clear that the Singapore Government taps the much maligned CPF Trust money belonging to its citizens at 2.5% per annum legally through SGS bonds. Once the money enters the Government coffers, it becomes opaque and entered the realm of thick smokre and broken mirrors. And the money which went into the Government coffers at 2.5% per annum is returned at 2.5% per annum. If the HDB, the Temasek and the GIC were not set-up to operate on a hard-nose commercial basis, then we could holistically (I copy) say there was no profiteering by the Government. But as it is said there’s many a slip betwixt the cup and the lips ! Vide. Singapore Medical Association News. September 2013 page 7 The Ngiam Tong Dow Interview……to which he (lky) replied. ” What’s wrong with collecting more money ?’ Behind this succinct question lies the age old cherished virtues of ethics, immorality or morality, standards, propriety etc which should not only be engraved on the hearts of the Aduns but embedded in their very souls as well. And even though the intention of giving themselves the Ministers the highest salaries in the World is holistic (I copy), as the very same persons wearing all the hats of power, it is extremely difficult to explain why this sort of governance is not a blatant and abuse of power arising from a conflict of interest situation ! A bunch of fellows in power approving their own salaries at public expense !
In the early 1980s, a rich young tycoon was encouraged to lecture to the schoolchildren around Singapore that ‘ it was good to be greedy.’ Vide Singapore Business Times. 1983. This is self-explanatory in a place which is Godless, Kingless, Countryless !
OK ! The Singapore Governance is strictly limited to Singapore but has seeped into Malaysian Government practices as well in its GLCs. Singapore is unique in this heaven and earth governance.
But the private sector has been profiteering especially the mult-nationals since the beginning of time. Some of them lost money officiallly from day 1 but are still here after 50 years ! All avenues to profiteer are put into practice like sub-standard products which they would never dream of marketing them in their own homelands or sub-standard packaging of products or the siphoning of royalities to off shore havens etc. Hence, a holistic (I copy) Government has the sole responsibility of ruling over us fairly and reasonably and should not indulge in making money through business.
We now see the domestic financial mess which was created by the Singapore Government vis-a-vis its management of its citizens CPF Trust funds. This will be a story without an end.
No Government in the Word except Singapore’s profiteers on its own citizens and engages in a running quarrel with them. SEEING IS BELIEVING !

It is an open mystery that our local papers like Utusan, Berita Harian and UMNO’s NST is not reporting on this CPF issue that is causing havoc down the causeway. Of course, as expected the DAPigs and PKR and their bankers would not want the news to spread among their supporters.

The news on the referendum for Independence by Scotland from Great Britain hit the headlilnes today, thus ‘ Yes ‘ 51%, ‘ No ‘ 49%. Those smooth speaking MPs in the Mother of all Parliaments were shook to the core. The British pound dropped its value in response. But the surprising thing is why it took Scots such a long time to decide on their own freedom and democracy and free themselves from the last vestiges of the once world-wide British Empire which ruled our globe and on which the sun never sets and coloured in red in all the atlases once upon a time. This sort of jingoism reminds me of another tiny place which touted that ‘ The Republic punched above its weight !’ This was before the 27 Policy failures of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew were brought to our attention. And the self-vaunted dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of ‘Yes’ men with the smartest fellow on top, has since been dismantled in 2013.
On the 18th of September, 2014, are we going to view the final break-up of an Empire ?
Now that we have a group of Bloggers who are interested in the REAL difference between our normal beloved Malaysia and that of balmy, squeaky clean tropical isle of Singapore which has no corruption, no nepotism, no cronyism, no voyeurism, no lying, no cheating but only a policy of profiteering on its citizens and money grab culture by its Government, here lies the DIFFERENCE.

At least 50% of the Singaporean population want their CPF Trust money back after suddenly woken up to the fact that the Government changed the goal posts a few times since the 1980s. This confirm the slow ebbing of the money flow which circulates amongst the 99.99% of the population which is also hit by inflation with rising costs of living in pursuit of an ever growing GDP !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! MALAYSIANS BOLEH ! This definitely sounds better than the boastful, ‘ ‘Hitting above its weight !’

The news which come pouring out of the Republic of Singapore every day seem to confirm the practice of normal and commonsense policies of our Federal Government is on the right tack except for the hasty repeal of the bastion of Malaysian Democracy the ISA !
1. The Prime Minister of Singapore has finally endorsed the dismantling of their dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top. He is now looking very hard for non-graduates. They must have discovered to their cost that smart meritocrats could fine hone their ‘YES’ word in many beautiful renditons. And this cosst money when no honest answers were furnished to the top. This collapse of the self-vaunted meritocracy was already announced by 2 Ministers in 2013. This again underlines the commonsense, propriety and morality of our Federal Government;s approach to meritocracy because we deal with human beings not digits.
2. The favourite theme song of the CEOs of our GLCs forming the Khazanah Empire must be, ‘ You are my everything.’ Soon, this state of affairs of walloping huge salaries by these CEOs from RM 2 Millions to over RM 10 Millions will be over when they wake up from their pipe dreams. China has announced huge pay-cuts for the CEOs of her SOEs. The Republic of Singapore will follow soon. The pressure is already there. THIS LEAVES OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S GLCs CEOs WITH THE HIGHEST SALARIES GIVEN TO CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE WORLD ! AND THEY HAVE NO ACCOUNTABLILITY AND OWNERSHIP BUT TO CREATE GIGANTIC MERGERS ONLY !

For ‘ God, King, Country,’ the millions of our fellow citizens who were our friends, relatives and colleagues, had served through the years since the beginning of time in this hallowed land called Malaysia without a whimper or greed for money. They willingly served and never demanded more than what they were given. These noble citizens in the Civil Service, the armed forces, the police, and the medical services etc served our country and made what it is today.
Yes ! They had good, able and wise leaders who guided them and set themselves as role models for a country which was young like a fresh sapling. We were fortunate we have had such NOBLE CITIZENS WHO SERVED ‘ GOD, KING, COUNTRY.’ and not MONEY, MONEY,MONEY ! And for them, IT WAS THE THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME !

A screaming headline appeared in a newspaper today, ‘ For, God, king and country.’. A lump appeared in my throat and my eyes became moist. My thoughts immediatedly reflect back to the early days our beloved Malaysia’s existence under the wise and benign rule of the Tunku, the visionary Tun Abdul Razak, the steady hand of Tun Hussein Onn, your redoubtable 22 year Administration, the political will of our Tun Abdullah Badawi and our present day Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak who is now charged with keeping the traditions and conventions of our fortunate country. On the flip-side of this coin, the godless, kingless and countryless, Republic of Singapore which sole emphasis has been on money, money, money by the 0.01% elites over the general and natural desires and hopes of the 99.99% proletariat, is there for the comparison to the normal policies of our beloved Malaysia for over 57 years.
However, there has been a weakening of our resolve to serve ‘ For God, king and country ‘ and the aping of the money, money, money failed Policies of the brillliant Lee Kuan Yew has breached the previously immune great divide between the Public and Private Sectors of this hallowed land. In a short space of a few years after 2003, money, money, money policies of another place gained ground and seeped into all sorts of unlikely places which were previously verboten to such filthy lucre. Look what happened to Singapore today. Money, money, money ! 99.99% of the populace found the 0.01% elites have fine tune the whole Government apparatus to suck up the last cent. There is now a society where the rich is rich beyond belief and the poor are poor beyond redemption.
In Malaysia, we have throngs of the young, well-fed, well-dressed and well-educated being led by newly ennobled and very enriched gents and gals who are all weighed down by the heavy ringgits in their pocket leading the MARCH FOR MORE AND MORE FROM THE GOVERNMENT. WHERE ELSE DO WE FIND SUCH A WELL FED, WELL DRESSED AND WELL ENDOWED YOUNG PROXIES TO MARCH ALONG THE HUMID AND HOT STREETS OF KL UNDER THE PROTECTION OF UMBRELLAS ? And after the relevant pix shots were taken for the phantom financiers, this motley crew returned home in their brand new Yamahas, Protons, Hondas, Toyotas etc via the 6 lane highways built by the BN Government and to homes subsidixed by it ! Money, money, money, more and more and more !
And as a further comparison, the great urge by the ordinary citizens of Singapore as expressed daily in their complaints on deaf ears :-

Thanks to the Internet, we now see the Facts from the Fiction which was cleverly woven and brainwashed for us the naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians who have now discovered that our country is FORTUNATE amongst the very few in the World that we serve, ‘FOR GOD, KING AND COUNTRY.’ For this very reason, we must reject the poisoned chalice, TPPA, inspired, designed, crafted and furtively promoted by Singapore. Our beloved Malaysia signs the TPPA. The Malays die. And worse for the non-Malays. LIKE THE RED INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA, THEY SIGNED. THEY DIED WITHOUT A WHIMPEER.

The well-controlled society of the Republic of Singapore was a given until the warts and carbuncles from the 27 failed Policies of the brililiant Lee Kuan yew began to apprear in a rush over the past 4 years. Matters came to a head with the unrestricted entry of foreign workers and rich fellow travellers to boost up the GDP. This brought about rising inflation of goods and service. The standard of living fell which is only jto be expected. The 99.99% of the population bore the brunt of the mistakes of the Government which were inculcated in the past decades. The 2 Child Family Policy of the 1970s and the 1980s brought the replacement birthrate to a new low in the late 1990s which encouraged the Government to import forerign workers to make up the numbers. But two wrongs do not make a right especially when intelligent human beings were not treated as such. They just emigrated.
NOW IN BALMY SQUEAKY CLEAN SINGAPORE WITHOUT CORRUPTION, NEPOTISM, CRONYISM, VOYEURISM, LYING, CHEATING BUT ONLY THE CULTURE OF PROFITEERING AND MONEY GRAB BY THE GOVERNMENT, we see the absurd spectacle of 50% of its indigenous population baying to the Government to pay back their hard-earned CPF Trust money daily ! WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD BUT SINGAPORE !
The citizens lost their trust in their Government as a result of the gobbledygook announcements which were opaque and incoherent. The complaints kept on rising day by day. I believe the total number of complaints on the maligned CPF Trust alone must be monumental by now. The thinking and intentions of the PAP Government have been unravelled bit by bit by its irate citizens !

As I commented before if only the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 27 failed Policies for Singapore had behaved NORMALLY and not ABNORMALLY BY MARCHING TO THE BEAT OF HIS OWN DRUMS, Singapore would have gained what they wanted and have no siege mentality which was artificially created. The recent report of the one street town buying a further 16 F-15 to add to their existing 24 is self-explanatory. We now know where this money comes from eg. the much maligned CPF Trust Fund of citizens hard-earned money.
And there are reports that the Republic has committed to buy the US$150 millions each, F-35. WE MUST PRESUME THIS WAS DONE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE SUCCESS OF SINGAPORE IN SEDUCING OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO SIGN THE POISONED CHALICE TPPA SOON. IF MALAYSIA SIGNS, THE MALAYS WILL DIE LIKE THE RED INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA. THEY SIGNED. THEY DIED WITHOUT A WHIMPER. WORSE FOR THE NON-MALAYS.

As our successful beloved Malaysia moves further into the 58th year of our Merdeka, we find screaming headlines like, ‘HAS THE GOVT GONE BONKERS’ and ‘HAS PUTRAJAYA GONE BONKERS.’ This is no strange event but a well-worned and tired political script which emanated from the bowels of the Singaporean Trojan Horse, DAP – a pollitical organisation set up by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 27 failed Policies for Singapore. One of these failed Policies was the legalised Policy for Profiteering on a hapless and captive citizenry. And we now see the spectacle of a huge army of men in purple, 10,000 with no accountablitly to the established institution like the Ministry or Interior or the PDRM. By just handing a knife each to this army of 10,000 will turn it into a fighting rabble with disproportionate representation. I certainly as a law-abiding citizen of a life-time to see people with criminal records take matters into their own hands. What is the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP trying to achieve by challenging the RULE OF LAW which is our stolid IGP who is responsible for peace and harmony and the strict observance of the Laws by all. Why should the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP seek an exception for itself and its members who are citizens just like all of us.? What is so special about this lot of fellows whose spiritual head the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew is only a few miles away ? And this fellow whom they worship has already 27 failed Policies at the last count ! If the men in purple have broken the Laws and there are responsible leaders willing to pay the penalty, let the RULE OF THE LAWS HOLD SWAY ! We cannot have funny Policies like down in Singapore where the Laws are tuned in like a gigantic Hoover for sucking up money LEGALLY from its own supporters and citizens. Without much ado, these monies belonging to individuals are then called Sovereign Funds to give the false impression that all is legal and all is well without a dram of conscience or compassion of using money belonging to others.
THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP MIGHT HAVE GOT AWAY WITH THIS BLUFFOLOGY MADE IN SINGAPORE YESTERDAY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT TODAY !

Is Tok Pa understood this?

I thought ancient China was ancient history ! But on analyzing the 27 failed Policies of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew for Singapore. I found a new Emperor right on our doorstep !
In ancient China, all the goods and services of the towns are produced for the use of the Emperor, the centre of the World. If we study the 27 failed Policies of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew, all the citizens hard earned money is taxed one way or another especially through the Policy for Profiteering and the Poliicy on the much maligned CPF Trust of citizens money which is connected with the construction and sales of HDB flats in which the citizens’ money is used to construct the flats. These flats are sold to the citizens at a profit which is not mentioned because the cost will never be revealed. Whatever money extracted through the 27 failed Policies of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew lies in the Government ! Because 99.99 % produced the money through their efforts for a lifetime, the 0.01% elites are seen to be doing wonders with the economy. This money is lumped into World Class sounding Sovereign Funds which justify the highest paid Ministers in the World. This is the scenario which our own GLCs aped. Only 3 countries in the World have such absurd salaries, China, Singapore and Malaysia. China has since clamped down on this anomaly.
What is so brilliant ?

For decades, the admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 27 failed Policies for Singapore have poured abuse and insults on the Malays and those non-Malays who had other views about this man. THE TIME HAS COME TO REVEAL WHAT MAKES HIM AND SINGAPORE TICKED. IT IS THE USE OF THE CPF TRUST FUND MONEY BELONGING TO THE CITIZENS AT 2+% PER ANNUM AND ITS SUBSEQUENT INVESTMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF HDB FLATS AND IN RISKY BUT PROFITABLE BUSINESSES.
Since the admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew think so well of him, then they should LOVE TO HAVE HIS POLICY ON THE PROFITEERING THROUGH THE USE OF THE CPF TRUST MONEY BELONGINIG TO CITIZENS TO BE APPLIED IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. OK ? AND THE 2 CHILD FAMILY POLICY AS WELL ?
What say you, MNM, dont be small minded, rocket scientist from Singapore, HBT678, saxyforma, yusoff12 and all admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. Now, you do not need to go and live in balmy, squeaky clean Singapore without corruption, nepotism, cronyism, voyeurism, lying, cheating but only a dysfunctional meritocracy, money grab culture and PROFITEERING.
The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘ PROFITEER ‘ make an excessive or unfair profit. The Singaporean citixens have been demanding to know the cost of constructing a HDB flat. This will never be revealed. And Mother of Injustice ! The citizens’ own CPF Trust money is alleged to be use to construct these HDB flats ! But the citizens DO NOT GET THE BENEFIT OF THE PROFITS ARISING FROM THE SALES ! What say you, MNM, dont be small minded, rockete scientist from Singapore, HBT123, saxykorma, yusoff12 and all the admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. What say you about ‘ PROFITEERING BY YOUR OWN GOVENMENT ‘. Would’nt you all be marching to the United Nations to complain that your own Government raped you moneywise ?
Never in the history of the Western Democratic World, has a democratically elected Government profiteered on its own citizens. Definitely this did not happen in the great United States, the United Kingdom and our beloved Malaysia. And now we have Singapore making it to the Guiness Book of Records as the World.s first in profiteering on its own citizens.
AND FROM THE CITIZENS PERSPECTIVE, THE MALLIGNED CPF SCHEME IS JUST LIKE A LIFE INSURANCE POLICY WITH A DIVIDEND OF 2%+% WITH LIMITED UPSIDE VARIATION AND AS THEY ADVANCED IN AGE, THERE WAS A REQUIREMENT TO TOP UP WITH MORE AND MORE MONEY. AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL UNLIKE AN INSURANCE LIFE POLICY, A CERTAIN SUM REMAINS IN THE CPF WHICH DRAWABLE DATE COULD BE VARIED. And this is the offer from the Government of Singapore. It has been announced that this is done for the good of the contributors/beneficiareis just in case they spend all before they die !
And why the Singaporean citizens did not complain earlier ? The environment of fear as instilled in their minds since 1959 to 2014 has put paid to all complaints. What say you MNM, dont be small minded, rocket scientist from Singapore, HBT678, saxykorma, yusoff12 and all admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew ? SHALL WE MALAYSIAHS JUST TRY OUT HIS BRILLIANT POLICIES ON THE 2 CHILD FAMILY (and shut down all your busy factories) AND THE CPF TRUST FUND AND HDB CAPERS ? You do not want to MAKE OUR GRASS GREENER THAN SINGAPORE’s ? Or is all these FACTS are unpalatable TRUTHS.
Ii is only proper and civil that all you admirers and supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 27 failed Polices for Singapore apologize for the injustice – the insults and the abuse that you have hurled at our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, A MALAY AND A WORLD STATESMAN !
I wondered for many years how the Singaporean 0.001% elites made so much money out of nothing. Some told me that the dustbins were counted as reserves. And the late President Ong Teng Cheong enquired about how Singapore’s reserves came about at the beginniing of his term, he was ignored for 3 years and was only given a perfunctory answer just before he died ! The truth be told ! The reserves include the CPF Trust fund money owned by the citizens and all contributors who work in Singapore. The adroitness in the utilization of this Trust money gave the impression that the 0.001% elites made all the MONEY FOR SINGAPORE. Hence, their highest salareis in the World are justified. AND OUR MALAYSIAN CIVIL SERVANTS IN GLCs aped them to justify their ASTRONOMICAL SALARIES AND PERKS with no accountability and no ownership ! ONLY 3 COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD PRACTISE THIS SALARY ANOMALY, CHINA, SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA. CHINA HAS SINCE CLAMPED DOWN ON THE MALPRACTICE EVEN ON NON-CIVIL SERVANTS !

Hardly a day passes without some unhappy comments by Singaporeans on the much maligned CPF Trust. Most of them are of the view that they will never be able to get back their contributions in full after slumbering with full trust of their Ruler for decades like Rip Van Winkle. With our good Tun, he could build up the redoubtable Malay Middle Income Group within 22 years. But with the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 26 failed Policies for Singapore, the Singaporean Middle Income Group which was also the supporters, was screwed down big time from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2013. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2013. Now thousands of Chinese and Indians are imported to boost Singapore’s GDP !

For Saudara Abu Aiya. I have studied the Singaporeans for a lifetime. It is us Malaysians who behave NORMALLY AND RATIONALLY. We have always tolerated these ABNORMAL folks who would think, devise and execute all sorts of ideas to make money out of Malaysia.
I asked my Singaporean elitist relatives why the Siingaporeans always cheat us in our business dealings with them. They replied since we are corrupt, it is easy for us to make money. What an excuse to cheat and rob WITHOUT A CONSCIENCE ! Now, the Singaporeans pay the price of their insouciance by finding out that the biggest magician with broken mirrors and thick smoke IS THEIR VERY OWN GOVERNMENT ! Vide the CPF capers, etc.
As I am a Nationalist and my family has been here since 1889, it is my responsibility and duty to present facts on matters which threaten our very existence. As our good Tun will say, ‘ PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.’ I like to remind folks that the TPPA is PUBLIC PROPERTY not PRIVATE WHICH HAPPENED IN THE PULAU BATU PUTIH AND THE RE-ARRANGEMENT OF THE OIL-BLOCKS.
And a Malay friend who is now a Tan Sri told me when I was young, ‘ Do not tell lies because you will never remember which lie you told’.
Finally, if the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 26 failed Policies for Singapore had only behave NORMALLY and not ABNORMALLY, he would have been a really GREAT STATESMAN OF THE WORLD LIKE OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, A MALAY WHO DID NOT CAUSE ANYONE ANY HARM OR DEATH ! And so it is with this World where different characters are in play.
Thanks Saudara Abu Aiya, Malaysia is unique !

thank you Tuan Mubarak. I hope Najib & Co. read your message, and especially Tok Pa who seems to be in favor of TPPA, even as the nego is shrouded in secrecy which I think it is only so designed to cover-up Ikan Yu’s stinking dirty and decaying ideas. His serfs operating within the Malaysian MITI side must be working overtime to cover the bloodied stench of this world class predator animal.
So as the Malays saying goes (or is it the Russian’s coin referred to) this is, this must the “Last Kopek”, an attempt to at last conquer Malaysia by the ever-racist Ikan Yu.
I hope Najib & Co. will pull out from TPPA talks immediately. Chedet bloggers also can do their part, perhaps create an e-petition to create public awareness on this matter.

Addendum to my comments on the poisoned chalice TPPA inspired, designed, created and furtively promoted by the one-street town of the Republic of Singapore which also spy on us.
There is a recent report from Singapore which reads, ‘ TPPA – The Ultimate Sellout by PM Lee ? ‘
Vide. http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/08/21/tpp-the-ultimate-sellout-by-pm-lee/
Do you think the brilliant PM Lee and the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 26 failed Policies for Singapore will do such a dastardly act ? Of course, not ! But this clearly shows the extent the brilliant Lees will go to SEEK the viability and sustainability for their failed State which is now in dire straits. Of course, they are also aware of their short failings and mistakes which contributed to the present incarceration of what Singapore can do and cannot do and for the future. They are definitely not stupid but have normal human failings too like us.
So the posoned chalice TPPA SPECIALLY TO ENSNARE, CONQUER AND CONTROL OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA was brought into play as the LAST THROW OF THE DICE ! And the stakes – Malaysia lives or dies by her own hands. SINGAPORE LIVED ONLY IF MALAYSIA SIGNS. IF NOT, SINGAPORE HAS THE 4 CHOICES !
AND THE SECRET OF ALL SECRETS, the whole adventure which is the poisoned TPPA SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS WRAPPED INSIDE BY MANY COUNTRIES AND APPARENTLY PROMOTED BY THE GREAT UNITED STATES and not Singapore ! IF YOU LOOK DEEPER, HEY ! THERE IS REALLY ONLY ONE BENEFICIARY OUT OF THIS GREAT CAPER AND IT IS ONLY SINGAPORE because ALL THE COUNTRIES INVOLVED NOW WITH THE ULTRA SECRET NEGOTIATIONS DO NOT REALLY BENEFIT FROM THE TPPA AND CAN ALL WALK AWAY FROM IT except SINGAPORE. Please do remember the Singaporean elites have only money, money, money on their minds and pretend they love to play 19 holes of golf !
THERE IS ONLY ONE SOLE BENEFICIARY IN THIS POISONED CHALICE TPPA CAPER. IT IS SINGAPORE. Why should the great United States be bothered with this collection of small countries especially our beloved Malaysia which is so small by all measures. See the flattery for Malaysia with the President Obama’s visit Malaysia only and not Singapore – the setting up of Malaysia like the RED INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA. THEY SIGNED. THEY DIED WITHOUT A WHIMPER !
LET US ALL TRUE MALAYSIANS FERVENTLY HOPE THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WILL NOT BE KNOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MALAY TRIBE WHICH SHOT ITSELF IN THE FOOT LIKE THE NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS. They signed. They died without a whimper. Such is the cruel, cruel World today ! The weakest to the wall !
Hence my constant refrain.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

With your permission, one final question on the TPPA for all,
does any Malaysian TRULY understand the spirit and intention of the TPPA with its specific implication for our beloved Malaysia as inspired, designed, created and promoted by Singapore ? It can not be any good because it is obvious that Singapore will not do anything that it is not to HER BENEFIT. This has been proven since 1959.
And please do not forget that our beloved Malaysia has NEVER won any legal tussle with Singapore since 1959 ! And the last time our beloved Malaysia lost, a Singaporean book was published to tell the World how clever and smart their legal experts are. And now comes the poisoned chalice TPPA with tomes of legal nitty-gritty coupled with what we see in the naive, hospitable and friendly UMNO owned New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014. Some junior chaps in there used to give pompous, unsolicited and sanctimonous economic advice to our Federal Government literally every month until this mysteriously stopped in January 2013 !
I again repeat that an International Arbitration Tribunal has been established in Singapore since 2005 in anticipation of their proposed TPPA.
If our beloved Malaysia signs the poisoned chalice TPPA, there is a good chance that history will record this AS THE TRIBE WHICH SHOT ITSELF IN THE FOOT like the RED INDIANS OF NORTH AMERICA.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

Most Bloggers on this distinguished Blog will want to know more on how the poisoned chalice TPPA will kill our beloved Malaysia as we know it and transform it into something which is now beyond our imagination. How our Malay heritage, legacy, culture, and the Royal Sultanates and especiaaly our way of life as we now know will be gone forever. The Malays will be displaced and so will be the non-Malays.
If we are true Nationalists, we should all oppose the TPPA – the perfect weapon to finish of the Malaysian elites and the socio-economic of the body politic as we now know it forever. How ?
If Malaysia signs the TPPA which was inspired, designed, created and promoted furtively by the one-street town of the Republic of Singapore which is forever looking for ‘living space’ or ‘liebersraum’ to have eternal sustainablility to survive as a viable State, then the following will literally happen the next day :-
1. A flood of manufactured goods of all description will pass through the smashed door of Malaysia’s protective barrier for its own manufactured goods. How do the Bumiputra and non-Bumiputra owners of factories which employ Bumiputra workers feel ? They cannot sell their good which are now subjected to dumping of all sorts of products. They will sack their employees accordingly. The unemployment rate rises together with the annual output of university graduates. The Government will get less revenue in terms of income tax both corporate and personal. The fall-out effect in the event of a general Malaysian industrial slow-down is killing and immeasurable.
The owners of these factories and their employees are the solid supporters of the Government for decades. And this TPPA kills them all including the Government which now loses BOTH SUPPORT FROM THE OWNERS AND THE WORKERS. Where goes the Government ? It will lose all support even from non-factory business owners who also employ workers because the factory workers will have no money to spend on their needs and in the Malls. Transport revenue will also drop because the workers are forced to stay at home being out of work. The flood of manufactured goods will rise and rise until the whole Malaysian general economy collapses and our beloved Malaysia becomes agrarian again – ENTIRELY DEPENDENT ON GOODS FROM SINGAPORE.
2. The contracts and tenders now reserved for the Bumiputras and the non-Bumiputras are open to foreigners who will out-bid the Malaysians all round. There goes another solid group of Government supporters with anger in their hearts. Their workers get the sack again. More unemployment in the streets.
3. I always said that in our beloved Malaysia either we are good friends or related and we cannot run very far. With the TPPA in action, we can imagine the turmoil in everyone’s mind and the great unhappiness leading to all sorts of unforeseeable events arising from the backlash of unemployment from the aforementioned points. The elities, the imiddle income group and the workers are displaced and destroyed which leads to mumblings and mutterings against the Royal Sulatanates. THEN, THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS IN A TURMOIL WHICH IS UNSTOPPABLE JUST BECAUSE WE SIGNED THIS POISONED CHALICE INSPIRED, DESIGNED, CREATED AND PROMOTED BY THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE TO CONQUER AND CONTROL US. In 2005, an International Arbitration Tribunal was set-up by Singapore in anticipation of the good times to come for her.
The proponent of this poisoned chalice TPPA can only throw out sweeteners like the FUTURE POTENTIAL OF THE HUGE UNITED STATES MARKET. By which time, the future, we and our beloved Malaysia as we know it are already DEAD. RIP MALAYSIANS.
SINGAPORE LIVES WITH MALAYSIA IN HAND WITH HER LAST THROW OF THE POISONOUS DICE, THE TPPA through Malaysia’s soft under-belly !
This is one reason I always said
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
Addendum to my comment on the TPPA.
At the moment, Malaysia has nothing worthwhile to cross-trade with other countries as a bargaining chip. She sells all her commodities freely in the World’s open markets without restrictions. The majority of the manufactured products are already owned by foreigners. In the recent past, only the MSM sugar refining factory claimed to be highly industrialised by its spokesman.
Those proponents of the TPPA for the good of Malaysia, presented ‘ Pie in the Sky ‘ type of feel good feeling arguments. These arguments were THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA MIGHT LOSE A HUGE MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE FUTURE IF WE DO NOT SIGN. It is the word ‘ IF ‘ that should bother all. AND THE FUTURE ? By signing now, our beloved Malaysia has already been dead for decades ! RIP ! No future for our beloved Malaysia !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

Since I explained with facts why the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew created 26 failed Policies for Singapore, it is only proper to highlight the facts concerning the ultra secret TPPA for the edification of all Bloggers here.
The TPPA is a proposed legal instrument inspired, fashioned and promoted by the one-street town of the Republic of Singaporer after her elites were caught falling asleep for 10 years after the end of the Cold War in 1989. They screwed themselves up big time within the context of the new era of Pax America’s slogan,’ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ These three important watchwords are anathema to the traditional commercial activities of the Republic.
By the turn of the Century, Singapore was in deep economic trouble and had to rely on the unrestricted import of Chinese and Indians to boost the vaunted GDP. These gave rise to inflation and the rise of cost of living. Reluctantly, 2 casino licences were issued. This was a flash in the pan for about 2 years, 2005-2006.
The dysfunctional ellites were aware that the Republic was in its last legs as a VIABLE STATE. How ? Even though most countries already had their own bil-lateral free trade agreements in place, Singapore pushed for her own creation the TPPA. Before the big crash of October 2008, only Brunei, Chile and New Zealand were recruited. But thereafter, Washington was grasping at any straw in the wind to save the traditional and conventional World political socio-economic system under her financial hegemony. Singapore now has a battering ram to smash down the door guarding the Malaysian market and all that was built-up by the NEP.
She very cleverly got lost in the 19 ultra secret TPPA negotiations since 2009 and embedded spies to make sure the pendulum is swung in her favour. Vide. The naive, hospitable and friendly UMNO owned New Straits Times. Streets Central Supplement Page 8, March 8 2014. Spies galore !
But the REAL and only IMMEDIATE BENEFICIARY OF THE TPPA is Singapore because she is just a foot away from us. THE REST OF THE PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES ARE THOUSANDS OF MILES FROM MALAYSIA AND ANY NEW TRADES MAY TAKE YEARS TO FULFIL IF EVER ! Cunning and smart !
In time, the TPPA will finish off the Malays heritage, legacy, culture, NEP and the Royal Sultanates as our beloved Malaysia lies prostrate and defenceless to interlopers and interventionists of all kinds. The non-Malays will have no home to go to.
SINGAPORE WAS SO CONFIDENT OF HER SUCCESS IN HER PURSUIT OF THE TPPA AS SIGNED BY MALAYSIA THAT AN ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL WAS ESTABLISHED IN SINGAPORE IN 2005. Such is the vision of her dysfunctional pyramid of elites with the smartest fellow on top.
The TPPA is the poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia. If she drinks it, she dies. A painless death of the best kind. Singapore survives as a VIABLE STATE BECAUSE HER DESIRED HINTERLAND OR LIEBERSRAUM ( a’la Hitler ), MALAYSIA, WOULD HAVE BEEN CONQUERED AND CONTROLLED BY HER FINALLY DUE TO MALAYSIA’S OWN MISCALCULATIONS OR MISTAKES. Vide. The 1962 Water Agreement etc. etc.
THE TPPA IS THE LAST THROW OF THE DICE FOR SINGAPORE’S SURVIVAL AS AN INDEPENDENT AND VIABLE STATE WITH OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS A VASSAL STATE ! What say you, MNM, dont be small minded, the rocket scientiest from Singapore, HBT, saxykorma, yusoff12, etc. ? If Singapore fails when Malaysia does not sign the TPPA, she faces 4 choices for her future within 25 years or earlier, maybe less than 10 years !
1. To become the 53rd State of the Union of the great United States. The Straits of Johor becomes a monsoon drain with a chain-link fence. We may say ‘Selamat Pagi, Amerika’ to our friends on the far side.
2. To be a Crown Colony again like Bermuda, the Caymans, the Virgins etc. Now, even the Scots want out.
3. To merge with Malaysia again. An ancient saying forbids, ‘ A good horse does not return to old pastures.’
4. To remain status quo, but a History Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge in 1982 told me, ‘ Rome did not fall to the barbarians. It was the flood of foreigners into the city which finished it off.’ How ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

I believe there was an understanding between the Tunku and the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 26 failed Policies in the separation Agreement of 1965 that to this day, the Malaysian media never reported any news from Singapore. And this left the Chinese media to sing praises of him which were unknown to the non-speaking Chinese. But the Singapore media did not keep their side of the bargain by reporting all the warts and pimples of the Malaysian body politic from 1965 to this very day. As a result, the squeaky clean image of Singapore without cronyism, nepotism, corruption, lying, cheating, but with the practice of dysfunctional meeritocracy and the culture of money grabbing etc. was adroitly slotted into the nubile minds of unsuspecting Malaysians easily. However, times have changed and it is good to know WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN THIS ISLAND PARADISE. The deluge of unhappiness over the purported legal loan of CPF Trust money by its Government is a big issue every day in paradise.

Thanks to Tuan Mubarak, we are made aware of a similar situation that will happen to us, if we allow our ruling elite the freedom to copy and apply Singapore’s PAPigs governance in our own country.
We must always be on the alert and ensure that our KWSP money is not subject to the same treatment as its equivalent in Singapore.
Another interesting news is the increased number of warplanes purchased quietly by the Singaporean govt from Boeing for their Air Force. The Boeing company also develops war machines for Israel @ http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/08/24/spore-quietly-expands-its-f-15-fleet-from-24-to-40/ Perhaps, the Spore govt is heavily and secretly investing its peoples’ CPF money in the weapon industry and betting for a handsome ROI to silence its critics. Of course, they would have to market wars everywhere to create a demand for those killer machines, otherwise its akin to having 40 world class soccer players in your team with no football field to play in.
Both the still-missing MH370 and the exterminated MH17 are manufactured by Boeing who, even in its death silent over the destruction of its machines, would have full knowledge of the flight paths and whereabouts of both machines from womb to tomb. Its funny how they managed to be in elegant silence for trhe longest time without receiving much attention from the media. Our local media also buat bodoh and never seemed to be interested to question and explore Boeing’s role in these bloody sad affairs. The emotionalized televised coming home ceremony for the murdered Malaysian on board the MH17, also seem to me like a scripted sandiwara to keep people distracted from knowing the truth.
Tun
With reference to the Causeway Game as created by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 26 Policy failures for Singapore, I wish to explain why the score is Malaysia 26 Singapore 8.
Malaysia scores a point when any of Singapore’s Policies failed. So far, there are 26 failed Policies. I expect the final one will be when the Republic of Singapore decides on its REAL FUTURE within 25 years or less which is :-
1. To become the 53rd State of the Union of the great United States of America.
2. To revert to a British Colony like the British Caymans, Virgin Islands or Bermuda.
3. To merge with Malaysia again
4. To status quo – more of the same.
Singapore scores a point when Malaysia loses out due to weakness of the flesh. So far, Singapore has gained 8, from sea rocks to poisoned chalice etc :-
i) The 1962 Water Agreement. This has now ended up with Malaysia paying money to Singapore for delivering free water to Singapore due to the depreciation of the Malaysian currency. Even with the free water, Singapore has shot herself in the foot 26 times at the last count !
ii) The 1970 MSA dissolution gave free software to Singapore to the consternation of the late Tun Dr Ismail.
iii) The CLOB was the played like a yo-yo by Singapore in the extraction of money for no money on the joint Stock Exchange from 1965 to 2000 ! The method was quite organised with the media and the financial authorities in play. During this period, 1965 – 2000, Malaysia had 13 Stock Exchange crashes of different intensity. From 2000, the Bursa did not experience a single crash ! What say you, admirers of squeaky clean, no corruption, no cronyism, no neptism, no lying, no cheating, meritocracy and money grabbing only, etc. Singapore ?
iii) The suspension of the joint Stock Exchange because of the Pan-El fiasco in 1985. It was a political move. In the 20th Century only the Milan Borse was suspended in 1908 !
iv) During 2002 – 2009, over RM 900 billions trickled out to Singapore.
v) Nothing happened during the Tun’s 22 year of Administration. But thereafter, Malaysia rushed to the International Court of Justice and legally handed over the historic and venerable Pulau Batu Putih to Singapore. All countries of the World would have taken a different course because of SOVEREIGNTY ! This was a personal decision and not a citizens decision !
vi) The re-arrangement of the oil exploration blocks without consideration for SOVEREIGNTY was decided as though these were personal property and not citizens property.
vii) The Abang Adek Joint Venture Project arising from the KTM Agreement is expected to cost Malaysia US$1.12 billions in development charges. Caveat Emptor or buyer beware ! Shades of the 1962 Water Agreement in terms of vision and efficiency ! Who owns the 25 miles of steel rails ?
viii) The Singapore inspired, created and promoted TPPA – the perfect poisoned chalice for our beloved Malaysia. If Malaysia signs and she dies, Singapore lives. Considering the Malaysian vision and efficiency on dealing with the 1962 Water Agreement, and the Abang Adek Joint Venture Agreement which are basic and simple, WE MALAYSIANS SURE DIE IF WE SIGN THE TPPA WITH ITS TOMES OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS CONTAININIG THE NITTY GRITTY. Do not forget ! The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his legal expertise and his team of the World’s Best legal eagles will laser us to the nth degree in legal terms. The TPPA will spell the end of the Malays’ heritage, legacy and the Royal sultanates. Worse for the non-Malays who have no where to go ! Or is this scenario like Israel and the titanic turmoil in the Arab World vis-a-vis Singapore and the turmoil in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia etc – weak neighbours around a military strong Singapore ? Vide. The naive, friendly and hospitable UMNO owned New Straits Times ‘Streets Central Supplement’ Page 8. March 8 2014 – spies galore ! It is alleged some top Malaysian officials are married to some top Singaporean officials in this TPPA caper. Is it open poker for Singapore ? Or heads you win, tails I lose ?
Unfortunately, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s 26 failed Policies are already cancerous and eating at Singapore’s body politic of his OWN CREATION. If he had only behaved NORMALLY and un-Godlike, Singapore would have won hands down WITHOUT CONJURING UP CUNNING SCHEMES TO WIN. Hence, without Malaysia signing ITS OWN DEATH WARRANT – THE TPPA. The dysfunctional Singaporean elites are having sleepless nights BECAUSE THE TPPA IS THE PERFECT TOOL FOR SINGAPORE TO GAIN ASCENDANCY IN POLITICS AND SOCIO-ECONOMICS FOR ALL TIME OVER OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA – SINGAPORE’S LIEBENSRAUM – finish off the Malaysian ELITES and gain a rich country full of natural resources and naive, hospitable and friendly natives. THE BEST IS LIKE NOW BY THE MALAYSIANS OWN HANDS through signing the TPPA like hara-kiri.
The above facts explain why the score of the Causeway Game is :- Malaysia 26. Singapore 8. BUT IF MALAYSIA SIGNS THE TPPA, MALAYSIA LOSES AND HER LIFE AS WELL. Man proposes. God disposes.
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !

The unending stream of discontent expressed by worried Singaporeans overthe issue of the legal CPF loans SSGS by the Singapore Government show no sign of abating. A swell of mistrust seems to rise between the citizenry and those who rule them. And this all happened in a one-street town of a Republic. How this came about must be an interesting and unique study of the rule by one man for so long in a purported democracy fully supported by Uncle Sam.

Believe it or not, the number of visits to your distinguished Blog is mind-boggling. Because of this sudden turn of events which boosted the general interest, it is time for me to list out the 26 Policy Failures for Singaporeans by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew :’
1. The use of money as an investment tool to buy out Thaksin’s business in pursuit of its Foreign Polciy. This inadvertently brought about the back-lash of turmoil which resulted in the deaths and injuries of men, women and children, split the once hospitable and smiling Thailand into halve and 2 coup-d’detats on the face of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy was enforced on a captive population of 2 millions in the 1970s and the 1980s. Excluding the young and the old, the population was only 1.6 millions. This is the real killer today.
3. The loss of US$ 108 billions of the CPF Trust money by the dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top in October 2008 on Wall Street. Vide. Channelnewsasia Lee Kuan Yew November 2008. The Financial Times London. Gillian Tett April 2010. All Singaporean Bloggers.
4. Humanity and Multiculturalism not practised. Vide. Channelnewsasia. 2011-2012. The curry smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike. the toilet fights. etc.
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known throughout the World. Vide. Mr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. The German, Australian and Malaysian drug mules. Dr Woffles Wu. Shaw. If the Police stopped at 1, he would not have been in trouble. They stopped at 51. Poor girl !
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. The flower nursery contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank. etc.
7. A World class transportation system not established. Vide. Channelnewsasia. Mahnubani.
8. The failure of the management of the forerign workers. Vide. Channelnewsasia. The Little India riots. The Rex Cinemas sit-in etc
9. The establishment of a full-fledged military of 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkha brigades, F-35, drones, AWACS, Apaches, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, a S$ 2 billions strategic water reserve, bomb-proof buidlings and caverns, spies complete with ducks and swallows, etc against friendly neighbours.
10. The spy network established in friendly countries. Vide. Wikileaks
11. The Policy to dominate Malaysia through the use of proxies or covert methods like the media etc.
12. The founding of the Singaporean Trojan Horse in 1966 as the Singaporeans were retreating. This Party never contributed to the National Development effort.
13. The Policy to ride on the back of Uncle Sam in pursuit of the TPPA, a Singaporean inspiration and creation which if signed by Malaysia, she dies and Singapore lives. Ultra secret negotiations since 2009.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. The Hong Kong MRT has a 99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import foreign workers to boost the GDP. Vide. http://www.tremeritus on the opposing views of the President of China, Zi and the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew.
16. The Meritocratic System which was used to keep the 0.001% of the elite in power since 1959 was dismantled in 2013. Two Ministers announced that if future those applying for jobs or promotion would not only have their academic qualifications considered but also their hidden talents.
17. The highest paid Ministers in the World base on their control of Soverign Funds Vide. Warren Buffet.
18. The emigration of 300,000 members of the middle income group – the supporters of the brilliant Lee.
19. The command system to collect information on every one since 1972. But the threat is from far away.
20. The legal use of cheap money from the CPF by the Government without due consideration of the moral or immoral aspect of such an act vis-a-vis the contributors/beneficiaries who are actually captives.
21. The use of CPF Trust monies in risky investments and compounded by calling these individually owned money as Sovereign Funds to give an impression that the elite made this money which really belongs to the citizens.
22. The purchase of foreign athletes to win Gold Medals. The citizens spurn the waste of the money.
23. On the one hand, Dr Alfred Winsemius, Adviser to the Singapore Government 1961-1984 could draw up a brilliant plan for the infra-structure development of Singapore. On the other, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew screwed up big time the development of the human resources of which he was responsible and controlled.
24 The Money Grab Policy of the Government has failed due to its rejection by the citizens. In the early 1980s, a young rich man made a tour of the schools to lecture to the children that it was good to be greedy. Vide Singapore Business Times.
25. The failure of most of the Policies as adopted by the Singapore Government 1965-2014.
26. The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew has been in power since 1959.
When I first embarked on the task of finding out the Policy failures of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew in 2011, I could locate 7. By 2014, we can discern 26 Failed Policies of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. His 2 Child Family Policy stands out like a sore thumb – a killer ! Only Hitler meddled in the demographics and the genetics in a country 15 times bigger than Singapore. The Thaksin Purchase was adventurism at its worst ! Flattery stripped the top elite of their guard by superior types in the Wall Street caper. The elite did not spend years with the clever people whom they dealt with. Thus, the elite was treated with what they deserved in 2008.
Fortunately, the scoreboard of the CAUSEWAY GAME AS CREATED BY THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW reads. MALAYSIA 26. SINGAPORE 8.
If the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew behaved NORMALLY, SINGAPORE WOULD HAVE WON HANDS DOWN ! Fortunately, he did not. MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

Yesterday, the readership of this distinguished Blog reached its highest in recent years. The conundrum of our beloved Malaysia fumbling and stumbling here and there is the sheer result of the aping of the one-street town of a 1st World developed republic called the Republic of Singapore. HUGE BUCKS SEEM TO DEFY GRAVITY AND FLOW TO THE TOP OF THE APEX OF THE POWER PYRAMID. And nothing flows to the mass of proletariat/Rakyat below since 2003.
A boutiful land with resourceful people and natural resources is now a LAND OF QUARRELING AND UNHAPPY PEOPLE. WHY SHOULD THIS BE SO ? IS THIS THE DELIBERATE CREATION OF OUR ENEMIES WHO SPY ON US AND WISH US HARM BY OUR OWN HANDS or is it something else ? A deliberate and covert plan to fractionate the traditional rulers, THE MALAYS. Smile and stab ! Since we are highly intelligent and civilised people, I let you are decide.

Like some of my friends here, I am a born-optimist. However, abnormal events concerning good governance of our beloved country have caused me to think long and hard why this is so ? Why a bountiful country which has been governed for so long justly and fairly does not now produce a modicum of happiness and satisfaction to its people anymore. What I see is the insecurity of finance and well-being in every household. What I see is the slowly but purposely expanding Khazanah Empire manned by civil servants with no accountability, ownership or foundership. Down in the squeaky clean Republic of Singapore, these GLCs have failed the citizens and have not delivered the intended results. In fact, huge losses were incurred. The Singaporeans are unhappy because of the lack of money so derived from this model promoted by their ruler..
The lack of money and opportunities as felt by our citizens must be the result of putting the public money in the wrong pigeon holes like in Singpore. As I have said many times, aping Singapore is no panacea to Malaysia’s problems. Here we practise Malaysian Democracy. In Singapore, one man has ruled the place since 1959. You may judge which place or country is more egalitarian or more democratic.
We the people from 3 major ancient civilizations are courteous and law abiding. But our civilised behaviour is sometimes taken by Westerners or those who govern abnormally, as an expression of approval of wanton acts. Asians are not stupid but exhibit the courteous and civilised traits of civilizations of thousands of years old.
This is our strength and not stupidity. Because of this, I have witnessed our people suffering in silence in the face of our depreciating ringgit, slow down in general employment and insecurity in their finances and life-styles since 2003. A few have openly expressed that they like to have those good years return.
No Westerner apart from a technical expert can advise our country Malaysia how to suck eggs. The eggs we have produced since Merdeka in 1957 are now being enjoyed to the tune of millions of ringgits of salaries by those in command of GLCs like in Singapore where the citizens money is called Sovereign Funds. Accoridingly, the controllers are paid Sovereign Salaries in accordance with the huge empire they control without accountability, ownership and foundership. Salaries which are the highest in the World ! And so it is that our civil servants aped them and built a huge financial Empire called Khazanah controlled by the few. The Khazanah Empire.

I stuck out my neck the other day to comment on the absence of holistic ( I copy ) all round security and protection for our notables who govern us. Some pundits have pointed out to me that the cat’s whiskers of armoured limousines, the Mercedes Benz and the BMW could not be bought off the shelf but have to be ordered. The order may take 3 years to fulfil per armoured car. How ?
Without the protection of the shield ISA and other ancillaries which have been deemed to have been repealed without notice, THE NOTABLES WHO RULE OVER US ARE NOW NAKED WITHOUT PROTECTION FOR AT LEAST 3 YEARS FOR AN ORDER OF JUST ONE MERCEDES OR BMW ARMOURED LIMOUSINE ? How ?

Through time, we have observed that the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore loved to give unsolicited advice to others whether they are in or outside of the one-street town of the Republic of Singapore. I could only surmise that he has lots of time to think of the problems of others. Strangely, he did not think out the consequences to his high-handed actions concerning his 25 failed Policies for his own people and supporters. They all suffered as a result. These Policies literally put the whole Nation in jeopardy going past the point of no return. Again, I present for all our distinguished Bloggers here, media reports on the current views of the President of China, Xi Ping and the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew of the tropical isle of Singapore which more or less confirm tha ancient saying, ‘ There is always another bigger and higher mountain !’

As I continue to examine and analyse the whole rigmarole of the CPF/HDB scheme as concocted by the Singapore Government for its citizens, it seems to me that the whole exercise is based on the USE OF THE CITIZENS CPF TRUST MONEY IN THE CHEAPEST MANNER POSSIBLE. This is the secret. This is the dynamo of Singapore’s vaunted financial success which conned its own citizens for so many years.
ITS CITIZENS AT LEAST THOSE WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CONCERNED WITH THE FLOW OF MONEY AND ITS EVENTUAL RETURNS HAVE BECOME DISILLUSIONED WITH THE SINGAPOREAN LEADERSHIP WHICH PRIDED ITSELF AS BEING FOR THE PEOPLE. But this is no longer. By my conservative reckoning, only 50% of the people support the PAP. It was also totally wrong to give a misleading term “Sovereign Fund’ to this privately owned money of the citizens as if the Fund was created out of the clever and smart investment attempts by the 0.001% elite like an Emperor without clothes. This is far from the truth.
And now the ETHICS, THE MORALITY, CREDIBILITY AND TRUSTWORTHINESS OF BOTH THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT AND THE PAP ARE CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. This is a Gordian Knot of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore’s own making. Now, the secret of how the Singapore leadership finesse its own citizens hard earned money to put into risky investments and lost big time, and with the World’s economy on a yo-yo basis, is out in the open. It was reported that a total of US$ 108 Billions were lost on Wall Street by Temasek and GIC in October 2008. The question of how to redress the morality or immorality of such an audacious move remains unanswered. Hence, the mulit-billion Singapore dollar issue of the hands of the Singapore Government caught in its own cleverness or found dipping into the CPF/HDB kitty LEGALLY will continue its turn of events daily.
IT PAYS FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA NOT TO APE WHAT SINGAPORE DOES TAKING COGNIZANCE OF THE FACT THAT THIS CPF/HDB CONUNDRUM IS ONLY ONE OF THE TWENTY-FIVE FAILED POLICIES FOR SINGAPORE BY THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW. As it is said, ‘ Peanuts are for monkeys.’

I speak in support of your reported comment that it is difficult to achieve a non-racial Malaysia in the short term.
Switzerland celebrated their 800 years of the Confederation many years ago in the 1990s. To this day, there are still 4 distinct races amongst the Swiss – the Germans, the French, the Italians and the Romansch who were Roman legionaires. They deserted Rome and holed up in the high Swiss Alps for 2,000 years. And to add to this 4 distinct races, we may add another 1 million foreigners who are working in the menial jobs to earn their keep. The final total of a 5 or more races to make up prsent day racial Switzerland is for all to see.
The harping on racial matters in our beloved Malaysia by irresponislbe and unqualified politicians by strumming on the cords in their hearts of the discontented, is where and how these folks earn their keep by being elected and re-elected time and time again by those who are gullible, naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians.
AS RIGHTLY IMPLIED BY YOU TUN, IT IS BETTER TO LET NATURE TAKES ITS NORMAL COURSE UNLIKE THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE WHERE THE RULER IMPOSED HARSH FINANCIAL CONTROLS TO FORCE THE INHABITANTS TO PRODUCE ONLY 2 CHILDREN PER FAMILY IN THE 1970s AND THE 1980s. 300,000 Singaporeans expressed their disagreement by emigrating – the very valuable middle income group who were solid supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore.

The political conundrum now happening in the otherwise peaceful, progressive and harmonious State of Selangor is an absurd spectacle to behold. I was born a Selangorian. I see all these fake Selangor politicians who are mostly unqualified and roped in from the wet marketst to stand as YBs, are making a mockery of our Malaysian Democratic system which has stood in goodstead from the dawn of our independence. These unqualified non-Selangorians who originated from Singapore and the South and the North, all claim to power to do good to the good State of Selangor now ruled by our magnanimous, wise and just DYMM Sultan Selangor guided by a distinguished Mentri Besar.
Justice and Democracy held sway after the 13th General Elections.
Without a cogent reason, out of the blue, we Selangorians were told by these State outsiders that we need another Mentri Besar. We had always thought the Tan Sri is the BEST MAN FOR THE JOB because of his proven record. LO AND BEHOLD ! WE SELANGORIANS ARE NOW TOLD LIKE CHILDREN THAT THE HONOURABLE WIFE OF A PKR ADVISOR IS BETTER. How do we Selangorians know for sure that anyone is better than the TAN SRI with due respect ot the good lady ?
LIKE OVER 90% OF THE CHINESE WHO VOTED FOR THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP IN THE 13TH GENERAL ELECTIONS WHEN THEY WERE TOLD THERE WOULD BE A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN ! Now this bunch of fellows is seen to be STUPID AND CONNED to the nth degree !
ARE WE SELANGORIANS TO BELIEVE THAT THE WIFE OF AN ADVISOR OF THE PKR IS BETTER SUITED TO BE AN MB OF SELANGOR THAN A TAN SRI WITH A PROVEN RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS IN PUBLIC SERVICE ? And both actually came from the same POLITICAL MOULD !!
THE STATE OF SELANGOR HAS MANY TRUE BLUE, BORN AND BRED CAPABLE PERSONALITIES.
WHY PUT UP A BUNCH OF FAKES TO TELL US SELANGORIANS WHO ARE BETTER EDUCATED AND RICHER, WHAT TO DO OR NOT WHAT TO DO ? We are not kids TO BE FED WITH LIES A’LA SINGAPORE ! Or to be told what to do LIKE IN SINGAPORE WHICH AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS CITIZENS GOT SCREWED UP BIG TIME IN TERMS OF THEIR LIVES AND MOST IMPORTANT THEIR OWN MONEY !
This Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP forever conjuring up tricks and frivolous schemes to DISTRACT THOSE WHO ARE INNOCENT, NAIVE, HOSPITABLE AND FRIENDLY THAT THEY FAILED AT EVERY TURN ESPECIALLY THEIR HUGE PROMISE OF A CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT AT PUTRAJAYA WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN !
We the citizens and Selangorians have seen so much time and money wasting- little- pointless incidents to distract, to create and balloon up trivial issues just for the OPTICS. This is stupid in view of the fact that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP failed to capture power at Putrajaya in 4 EASY STEPS ! THE GREAT AND BRILLIANT SPIRITUAL LEE KUAN YEW WITH HIS 25 FAILED POLICIES FOR SINGAPORE HAS FAILED. What do you expect of his erstwhile and loyal aging aide who did nothing for the National Development for over 48 years ?
HENCE THE DAP IS NOW TIED UP IN KNOTS OF THE GORDIAN KIND WITH ITS VERY RICH PARTNER THE PKR. From one fumbling bungle to another, all because these folks have tons of money, money, money to waste ! And without the intellect they FAILED TO CAPTURE POWER IN 4 EASY STEPS :-
1. In 1997, if the DPM had taken a bus-man’s holiday instead of the advice of his kitchen cabinet who is still strong with the BN, he would have returned as the HONOURABLE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA. Events which happened would not have happened. Just ONE EASY STEP !
2. In 2008, if the 32 seats were sorted out before the 12th General Elections and not after, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP would have won already 2 General Elections. They forgot if in power, they would control the Khazanah ! Just ONE EASY STEP !
3. In 2013, if the Opposition declared a 100 day fast and boycotted the 13th General Elections which permitted the BN to win 100% of the seats with just 47% votes, they would have been in Putrajaya already for 15 months. Just ONE EASY STEP ! See how the Thais did it !
4. If the MB of Selangor had been appointed through the pracitce of nepotism like in Pulau Pinang where nepotism is practised, WHERE IS THE POLITICAL CRISIS TODAY ? Just ONE EASY STEP !
AND THE ABOVE MENTIONED FUMBLING AND BUNGLING FOLKS EXPECT TO RULE OVER ALL OF US ! Stupid !

Once upon a time, every one of us wants to be a millionaire. Thanks to your 22 year Administration, there are now many Malay, Chinese, Indian and all millionaires. However, we now want to be billionaires. This interesting species of Homo Sapiens used to be rare not too longer ago but are now in their hundreds as per the Forbes annual report as stated in US Dollars. Thanks to you again, in our bleoved Malaysia we too have a handful of billionaires. There are more in Ringgit terms and less in US Dollar terms. There are those who became Billionaires by themselves and there are those who became Billionaires through the begging bowl for monopolies The GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY !
The good thing is I am like you who wants all of us naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians to be rich and you have actually succeeded to a large measure. For this we are thankful and grateful ! And yet especially some who benefitted from their monopolies are not !
But an interesting aspect of billionaires is how they become BILLIONAIRES especially in the no corruption, no nepotism, no cronyism, no voyeurism (SPYING), no cheating, no lying etc.etc. squeaky clean Singapore.
Ah ! I have been thoroughly fascinated by a report in a website which came to hand recently and I repeat it once again for those who missed this fascinatinig subject of how billionaires are either self-made or created by others. Take your pick,

All those who made a mockery of the BN, its leaders and supporters are having sleepless nights. Their flawed thinking about the goodness of the holistic ( I copy ) leaders of the Opposition have come to nought. The 90% Chinese who voted for the Opposition now pay the price of having their businesses and assets diminished through THE BREAKING UP OF THE PK WHICH WAS A MIRAGE WHICH ALL COULD NOT SEE BUT ONLY THE CHINESE ! Why ? Because the latest lot of Chinese are hollow and lost their 5,000 year cultural characteristics and now giving into life-style activities like free sex, eating, drinking and travelling. It these Chinese do not wake up soon and protect their daily bread by voting and supporting the BN with the Malay bias, they can kiss their hedonistic activities good-bye. See what happened to those ONCE BELIEVERS OF THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW WITH HIS 25 FAILED POLICIES DOWN IN SINGAPORE ! Not only were their genetics screwed up but also their precious hard-earned money too ! What a life for a Singaporean ! And these Singaporean folks thought they would be well looked after by this fellow with the brilliant degree from the University of Cambridge. But to their utter surprise, at the end of the day, they were all screwed up big time to a person.
And so it is with the PK. It is not easy to govern without least some intellect. The 3 Golden Attributes to be a Leader definitely hold sway. It used to be easy with just talk, talk, talk to strum up the primeval emotions of people. This is clearly illustrated and confirmed by the fact that the good MB of Selangor could not tolerate the narrow strokes for the disadvantage of the Rakyat at the expense of the broad strokes of advantage. Most of us forget all the time the leaderships of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP and the PKR can afford to play politics or whatever because they are very rich in all aspects. The impecunious Rakyat’s fate is left to the whims and fancies of those who lead them like in the State of Selangor at the moment.
The 90% Chinese had voted for a MIRAGE in the 13th General Elections which disappeared before 18 months.

The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore commanded his BOMB DISPOSAL SQUAD to scour a radius of 100 metres from any function where he would be attending for 40 decades. AND YET OUR NOTABLES HAPPILY IGNORE THE RISING TIDE OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM NOW SEEPING OUT OF THE BORDERS OF THE TRADITIONAL REGIONS FOR TERRORISM.THEY EVEN THROW AWAY THE SHIELD ISA WHICH PROTECTED THEM. Forewarned is forarmed. Armoured Mercedes and BMWs have been on sale for over 40 years !
But the interesting development of the day is that the Pakatan has broken up due to the fact that the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is not sincere in its undertakings to its erstwhile partners.
The real issue is :-
WHEN THE PAS WANTED DAP’S SUPPORT THE LATTER SPURNED IT, AND NOW THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE WANTS SUPPORT DESPERATELY, THE HONOURABLE PAS SHOULD REBUFF THE DAP !
It is as simple as this. Simple honourable human courtesies. THE DAP WITH ITS AGING LEADERSHIP CAN NOT HAVE EVERYTHING JUST BY TALKING AND NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR 48 YEARS WITH ITS BRILLIANT SPIRIT LEADER NOW FOUND TO HAVE FEET OF CLAY – NOT ONLY ON ONE ISSUE, THE CPF – BUT THERE ARE 24 MORE !

I have been around nearly 100 years and have visited many countries like Singapore. But I feel it is absurd for the Republic of Singapore in the age of the United Nations to aim its full-fledged military of 300,000 active reservists, aging Gurkah Brigades, F-35, drones, AWACS, Apaches, 9 submarines, rusting tanks, long range artillery, a strategic water reserve of S$ 2 Billons, spies, secret caverns, bomb-proof buildings, etc at us, innocent, naive, hospitable and friendly Malaysians. What a wanton waste of the Singaporean citizens hard-earned money to protect the 0.001% elite ! This is all done at the public’s expense. Fruit for thought over the week-end. Why waste precious CPF money thus ?
However, we are all aware that there is no corruption, nepotism, cronyism, lying, cheating etc in the squeaky clean Republic, thus the following should raise some distinguished eyebrows.

At times like this in Malaysian Politics, it is a wise man who keeps his own counsel. Nay ! A fellow from the PK charged from his allotted place in the sun and broke ranks and accused the good Tan Sri the MB of Selangor as telling lies to DYMM Sultan Selangor, a’la Singapore. Even a blind, deaf and dumb person could feel the CPF legal fiasco which is causing such an uproar with the good citizens of Singapore. An yet this guy still rides the high wooden horse and flings out charges as though he was at the tete-a-tete between DYMM Sultan Selangor and the Tan Sri. The lies a’la Singapore used to work but no longer.

The human problems of the Republic of Singapore have reached past its zenith. These were the results of the brilliant lky 25 failed Policies. It was the Pax America after the end of the Cold War 1948-1989 which put paid to the decades of nefarious commercial acitivities conducted by the Republic which were profitable and easy to execute. But the 21st Century came and the MERITOCRATIC ELITES OF SINGAPORE WERE CAUGHT NAPPING BECAUSE OF THEIR ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR WHICH WAS NOT DOWN TO EARTH WHICH LACKED COMMONSENSE. They lost 10 solid years. There hangs the tale of an audacious attempt by one brilliant man to set-up a self-sustainable independent City State and failed.

For Malaysia Bagus. In my previous comment I stressed on the importance of all Malaysians behaving NORMALLY including our leaders because we must be seen to one and all of our caring attitude to one another. But most importantly, our leaders should set the example like our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad throughout his long career. However, the ABNORMAL behaviour of the Singaporean leadership is shown starkly in the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s 25 Policy failures for Singapore. We take just 4 as examples.
1. The CPF Fiasco. I have not come across a single case in the whole wide World in which a Government legally borrows from a nation’s Trust fund built up through the toil and sweat of its citizens at a very low interest rate and re-invests this Trust money in high yielding and risky securities which profits do not belong to the true owners of the money. To top this off, such monies are called Sovereign Funds as though the money came from clever investments by those in control who accordingly awarded themselves with the highest salaries in the World. The truth is the money came from the hard work and toil of Singaporean citizens, not by the clever investments of the controllers. The question of whether such an act by the Government was MORAL OR IMMORAL was not considered. It is ABNORMAL.
2. The Thaksin Purchase. When a foreign government buys something from the top political honcho of a country, money is passed from one hand to another. In Thaksin’s case, a Malaysian with a Thai name was part of the exercise whose son works in Singapore. A top price was paid. WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE OF SUCH AN EXPENSIVE MOVE BY A SOVEREIGN GOVERNMENT TO BUY UP THE PRIME MINISTER OF ANOTHER COUNTRY ? I believe I have not come across a similar case anywhere in the World. WAS IT TO PREVENT THAKSIN FROM BUILDING THE ISTHMUS OF KRA CANAL OR WHATEVER ? In this meddling in the domestic politics of a friendly country, was Uncle Sam consulted and alerted about this ABNORMAL play with wide implications which indeed happened from 2006 which ended up with 2 coup d’etats on the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s face ?
3. The 2 Child Family. In the realm of demographics and genetics, the application of this brutal Policy on a captive population is indeed barbaric. Most countries have family planning but in the case of Singapore, this 2 Child Family was enforced by the strictest of laws based on money eg. income tax. What was not considered was the fact that at least 20% of the 2 million population consisted of the elderly and the young. This left only 1.6 million to face the knife. An ABNORMAL ACT of the highest ordere like Hitler’s. Eventually, this Policy became a killer and 300,000 middle income Singaporeans complained with their feet and emigrated – the supporters of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew.
4. The DAP. This unusual political Party was founded in 1966 by the retreating Singaporeans, The holistic ( I copy ) leader of this outfit was a junior journalist who through the years have become senior. The Party did nothing but to shout ‘Malaysia for Malaysians’ right up to to-day. In Singapore to-day, its citizens shout themselves hoarse, ‘ Singapore for Singaporeans.’ Even by not doing anything, the salary and emoluments as paid by the BN Government to an Opposition member at RM 5,000 per month would have netted each for 48 years at least RM 2.7 millions. By strumming the heart strings of the unhappy and the discontented at every General Election, at least 30% to 70% of the disgruntled votes could be garnered. This is a dream job even 3 generations can play. But it is absolutely ABNORMAL.
The 25 Policy failures of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew for Singapore illustrate the extent to which clever schemes were conjured up to suit each occasion and these were all ABNORMAL.
None of our Prime Ministers could be discerned to have pushed forward such ABNORMAL policies. They were all wholeheartedly for the RAKYAT in their thoughts and actions ! No clever tricks !
MALAYSIA BOLEH ! MALAYS BOLEH ! ALL MALAYSIANS BOLEH !
Tun
For Saudara Malaysia Bagus and all those who have a good heart and soul, as far as I could remember for more than 80 years, we Malaysians minded our own business, hospitable to friends and enemies alike, and never think ill of others. In other words, we all acted normally even when the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore was very keen to know about the sexual peccadilloes of his friends through his embedded tycoons and spies. We behave NORMALLY and we succeeded thanks to Tun and his predecessors and colleagues who also behave NORMALLY.
IT IS THE SINGAPOREAN RULING ELITE WHO DID NOT BEHAVE NORMALLY THROUGHOUT THEIR TENURE IN POWER. THEY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT WHEN YOU ANALYSE THEIR FAILED POLICIES. THEY NEVER CONSIDERED THE CONSEQUENCES. In the case of Malaysia especailly under the 22 year Administration of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, he behaved NORMALLY and all he did was for the RAKYAT. This is why there are 3 millions Malay middle-income group which brought up the 3 millions non-Malay middle-income group. THIS IS THE STABILITY AND FUTURE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TODAY AND TOMORROW. India has 350 millions English speaking middle income group. This is what makes India ticks. Malaysia too now has her own middle-income group thanks to Tun. BUT IN SINGAPORE, 300,000 MIDDLE INCOME GROUP THE WEALTHIEST AND SMARTEST EMIGRATED OVERSEAS – THE BRILLIANT LEE KUAN YEW’S OWN SUPPORTERS – they complained with their feet so to speak.
The answer to all your questions, Saudara Malaysia Bagus, is that as long as we all behave NORMALLY LIKE OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, we rocket upwards strange to say. No need to be Icarus or the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew to do zany things never attempted before. NORMALLY, WE WILL ALL BE THERE, the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians and all. Why the Tun succeeded and others who self-proclaimed cleverness failed ?
IT IS THE 3 GOLDEN NORMAL ATTRIBUTES FOR LEADERSHIP ( and make sure you leave your books behind when you graduate and start all over again ) which our Tun has and others have not !
1. COMMONSENSE
2. ABILITY TO THINK OUT OF THE BOX
3. COMPASSION
And do not forget, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, a MALAY, a World Statesman and ranks amongst Soekarno, Mao tse-tung, Gandhi, Ho Chi Minh, Jinnah as a foremost Asian Statesman. He has no blood on his hands ! HE IS AN ORIGINAL! And created the previously non-existent Malay middle income group of 3 millions during his 22 years. The enhancement of the well-being of a group of disadvantaged people for cneturies ! In the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s case, the 100% indigenous population in 1959 was screwed down to 62% by 2013. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2013. His very own supporters – the middle income group.

Salam Tun,
the Malaysian govt should by now have laid out plans to tackle this ‘Singaporean unhappiness’.
It would not be too far-fetched to imagine that the Spore ruling elites would have already deliberate an evil scheme to transfer this unhappiness to its naive neighbor, especially to the southern part of Johor.
Would appreciate Tuan Mubarak’s take on this issue.

For Malaysia Bagus. I support you who always talk sense. Here is what I gathered on the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 25 failed Policies for Singapore. When I began in August 2011, I could only locate 7. But this figure has increased to 25 on the eve of the 49th Anniversay of the Republic of Singapore.
1. The use of money as an investment tool to buy out Thaksin’s business in pursuit of its Foreign Policy, inadvertently, caused the deaths and injuries to innocent men, women and children coupled with 2 coup d’etats on the face of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew since 2006. Malaysia has no such blood on her hands. Uncle Sam has not endorsed Singapore’s clumsy move which took sides. Vide. ASEAN Regional News.
2. The 2 Child Family Policy of the 1970s and the 1980s applied on a population of 2 millions was the real killer. Vide. The Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2013.
3. The loss of US$108 Billions by the dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top, in October 2008 on Wall Streeet Vide. Channelnewsasia. Lee Kuan Yew November. the Financial Times London. Gillian Tett. April 2010. All Singaporean Blogs. etc.
4. Humanity and Multiculturalism not practised. Vide. Channelnewsasia 2011-2012. The Curry Smell Tribunal. The 188 bus drivers strike. The toilet fights. etc. In the early 1970s, someone asked the Boss to stop destroying so many places of worship !
5. A perfunctory Judiciary well-known the World over. Vide. Mr Chee. Tan Koon Swan. The German, Aussie and Malaysian drug mules. Dr Woffles Wu. Shaw – If the Police stopped at 1, he would not have been in trouble. But the Police stopped at 51. Poor girl !
6. 5,000 pigs imported daily. The flower nurseries contracts. King of the Road. The sale of Kim Eng Securities to Maybank etc. etc.
7. A World class transportation system not establilshed. Vide. Manubhani. Distinguished diplomat and academician.
8. The failure of labour management of foreign workers. Vide. Channelnewsasia. The Little India Riots. The Rex Cinemas sit-in. etc
9. The spy network established in friendly countries since 1972. Vide Wikileaks.
10. The establishment of a full-fleged military of 300,000 reservists, Gurkha brigades, F-35, Apaches, AWACS, rusting tanks, 9 submarines, corvettes, secret caverns, spies, bomb-proofed buildings, a S$ 2 Billions strategic water reserve etc against friendly neighbours.
11. The Policy to dominate Malaysia through the use of proxies and brainwashing.
12. The founding of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP by the retreating Singaporeans in 1966. This party never contributed to the National Development for over 48 years.
13. The Policy to ride on the back of the United States in pursuit of the TPPA which if signed by Malaysia, will be its death warrant and Singapore lives.
14. The frequent breakdowns of the MRT. Vide. The Hong Kong MRT has 99% efficiency.
15. The Policy to import 1.2 million foreign workers.
16. The Meritocratic System which was used to keep the 0.001% elites in power since 1959 was dismantled in 2013.

Salam Tun,
The Ikan Yu, pimping its own people, will now have to face the music.
The abuse of public funds in Singapore, will also happen in our own country. As it happened before to Tabung Haji, when the funds were being siphoned to bail out govt’s Chinese ingrate cronies in the ERL project, it is likely to happen again even extending into EPF funds if we dont learn from the Singaporean experience.
The ‘ruling class’ in Singapore and its counterpart in Malaysia are both playing the same game under the same Rothschild jewry terms.
All Malaysians of all races and faith, especially the Chinese, must not be hoodwinked into thinking that Singapore is a success story. As a matter of fact, Malaysia’s stability is becoming the envy of many of its neighboring countries, and we must never fall into the trap of racist politicians and evangelists who are only tools of the Zionist state of Israel and its proxy in Spore to destroy our economy.

It does not make me happy at all that I read so many critical comments on the Singapore Government by its own citizens. But then what goes round comes around. Our parents always reminded us not to be haughty, look-down on others and be compassionate and help others when they are in trouble. And so it is with the super duper, squeaky clean Republic of Singapore where there is no corruption, no nepotism, no cronyism, meritocracy was removed in 2013, no liars, no cheats etc. A further deluge of facts from unhappy Singaporeans for the edification of all.

The intriguing thing about the Singapore Government’s mishandling of its citizens CPF Trust money legally was that morality or immorality was not considered an issue when citizen’s monies were short-changed big time. Hence, the incessant legitimate complaints every day.

Further to the outburst by Australia’s table-tennis champion against the practice by the Republic of Singapore’s deliberate policy to purchase PRCs sportsmen and women to fill their sports teams to win Gold Medals, the Times of India has described Singapore having cheated by replacing entire team with PRCs.

Money is the root of all evils so the saying goes. And the Republic of Singapore as ruled by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 21 failed Policies for Singapore is no exception. Through the years, assets of Regional tycoons like Thaksin, etc. have been snapped up by Singapore at top prices to the amazement of the cognoscenti. With so much apparent money in his hands, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew not only used it to further the cause of the 0.001% of the meritocratic pyramid with the smartest fellow on top but also to create a feeling of superiority as compared with his humble neighbours with normal thoughts.
Hence, the buying spree of complete shooting, table-tennis, badminton teams etc made in China to show the World that Singapore is great. But this smart and cunning move has now raised an outcry from the participants in the interanational sporting World, the latest being the British Commonwealth Games at Glasgow. There is a saying,’ You may con some people some of the time. But you cannot con all the people all the time.’ Even the Singaporean citizenry is now up in arms at this absurd purchase of mercenary sportsmen and women and the wanton waste of money – just for the ego trip of the 0.001% ! And THE MONEY IS NOW ESTABLISHED TO COME FROM THE CPF TRUST accumulated from the citizens sweat and toil !

This ‘ buy a sports team ‘ by Singapore must be the ultimate decision of its ruler, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. If this could be foisted onto the World at large as something Singaporean, it also underlines what I have been saying all the time that the brainwashing of our naive, friendly and hospitable Malaysians citizens through the decades since 1959 was done with an ultimate purpose with only the plausible Singaporean natural resource known as BLUFFOLOGY.
For example, the MCA is supposed to be against the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. But the MCA owned The Star is a joint venture partner of the PAP owned newsmedia group in Singapore. I do not see the logic, maybe the creation of an personal escape route in times of turmoil. Vide. The Star Annual Reports 2008-2012.

Nowadays, it is easy to collect the real facts on the mismanagement of the Republic of Singapore arising from the rule of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 21 failed Policies for Singapore. The 50% Singaporean dissenters are digging up his past. What the citizens dug up is not a pleasant sight ! For instance, the gross import of third rate foreign athletes to win gold medals in the name of Singapore. Afterwards, they could return home to China and forget about Singapore. The greed for fame which is bought by money, money and money will surely make it to the Guiness Book of Records.

History will be the final arbiter of this slowly revealing con job as surely as the sun rises. This money made ego trip will crash to the earth with greater resonance in time to come.

A big headline in a pro-Opposition Blog today, ‘ A strong leader would reject TPPA……..’ Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and China are not in the TPPA. Let us refresh our minds on how the TPPA came about.
In 1989, the Cold War suddenly ended after 40 years of all out head-butting between the West and the Communist World. Thereafter, America pushed its spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ The World followed in lock-step. But this New World is against the traditional commercial activities of Singapore and eventually after a decade, only the BRIC was found to have benefitted much to the chagrin of Uncle Sam. But at the end of the 20th century, the explosive arrival of the World of the Web and its adherents masked the normal activities and thoughts of those in the cockpits of the World. This included the meritocratic elites of Singapore which was based mainly on their academic achievements – a sort of Oxbridge college fellows running a country which happens to be a one-street town called the Republic of Singapore. It could be imagined that serious conversations would have been like after a wonderful College repast over port Every one was jolly. With a wink of an eye, the whole decade before the 21st century was lost by these Singaporean elites who found that by the beginning of the 21st century, Singapore was hit by a downturn in her GDP and unemployment which she has never experienced before during the Cold War years when American assets like war scrap in Vietnam could be turned into gold or trading with Myanmar was always profitable. What to do ?
After much hair pulling and burning of the mid-night oil, two ideas were trumped up by the elites. A faster and more immediate solution of the issue of two casino licences and a longer but more sustainable idea of opening the doors of all countries who participate in Singapore’s very own creation of the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement or the TPPA. Since the idea originated from Singapore elites in dire trouble for the neglect of the future of Singapore at the end of the Cold War in 1989, this proves that this idea of a grouping of nations to MASK THE REAL INTENTION OF SINGAPORE is smart as well as cunning because the countries of these diverse region known as Asia and the Western Pacific are thousands of miles from each other. Whatever benefits for each other can only MATERIALISE SLOWLY IF ANY. And which nations are literally kissing each other in geographic terms – THE GEMINI TWINS OF MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE ! And which Nation benefits from the use of Uncle Sam as a battering ram to break down the closed door of the Malaysian market, again Singapore.
Why Singapore is so keen to break open the closed Malaysian Market ?
Our beloved Malaysia has long been looked upon as a storehouse of natural resources by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 20 failed Policies for Singapore. Unfortunately, because of his personality, he could not achieve what he wanted the most – to conquer and control our beloved Malaysia because he did not understand or refused to understand the majority of its inhabitants, the Malays. See how he bungled with the cantankerous DAP !
I honestly could not understand why he did not do the NORMAL approach. He could have gained all what he wanted a long time ago. His adventure into Thailand with its friendly and hospitable people is a mystery to me unless it was an inducement to stop Thakson from building the Isthmus of Kra Canal. This has now ended with two coup d’tats in his face !
IT IS A MUST FOR THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE TO SUBJUGATE THROUGH THE TPPA OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA, FOR SINGAPORE TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND BE A VIABLE INDEPENDENT STATE.
In history, no other country has succeeded to last LONGER THAN THE LIFE-TIME OF ITS RULER OF A TINY STATE. Vide. Singapore Business Times 1982 – Rajaratnam on Sparta, Athens and Singapore. For Singapore, it is a matter of life and death.
And for our beloved Malaysia, it is death of what we know and love, our values, our way of life, our democracy, our achievements, our Royal sultans, our religion, our Malay heritage and legacy – in fact the whole lot of what is known as Malaysia !
Malaysia signs the TPPA, the Malaysians die. There is no doubt about this. Why ? The simple reason is that the TPPA originated and created specially for a specific purpose by the failed elites of Singapore. And from 1957 to 2014, THERE IS NOT A SINGLE IOTA OF GAIN OR FAIRNESS FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IN MOST OF OUR COUNTRY’S DEALS WITH SINGAPORE – from the 1962 Water Agreement, the MSA split, the CLOB, the Pan-El Affair, the aborted request for a loan in 1967, the missing 25 miles of steel rail from Woodlands to Tanjong Pagar, the perennially hostile PAP Straits Times, our rush to the International Court of Justice to legally handover the Pulau Batu Putih after which a Singaporean tome was published to show how clever the Singaporeans were and how stupid the Malaysians are. Fortunately, Man proposes, God disposes.
Due to the accrued events and the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s 20 failed Policies, Singapore is now a FAILED STATE PENDING MALAYSIA TO SIGN HER OWN DEATH WARRANT OF THIS POISONED CHALICE KNOWN AS THE TPPA – a Singaporean invention to put the knife into our beloved Malaysia forever.
THE LIST OF COUNTRIES INTERESTED IN THE SINGAPORE-INSPIRED TPPA SHOWS ONLY OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS THE SACRIFICIAL COW FOR THE SLAUGHTER. We have nothing to offer by way of manufactures. Our natural resources do not require the TPPA as these are sold openly in the world’s markets. Malaysian supporters without any knowledge claim that we have a say in the FUTURE FOR OUR PRODUCTS – THIS IS A PIE IN THE SKY TYPE OF THINKING IN A WORLD FULL OF CROOKS AND ROBBERS. These folks may ask the Singaporean elites what happened to them on Wall Street in October 2008. They lost a minimum of US $108 Billions of the CPF’s Trust money. (Malaysia’s Foreign Reserves – US$130 Billions).
The Rakyat of Malaysia will suffer the most if Malaysia signs this poisoned chalice TPPA for the simple reason that whatever which has come out of Singapore has never been to the advantage of our beloved Malaysia. Those who dispute this please go and check. Even the CPF contributions by Malaysians are loaded and discriminated against them. Why ?
IT IS EASY TO ASSESS SINGAPORE INTENTIONS BECAUSE THE WHOLE STATE IS BASED ON MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. IF SINGAPORE DOES NOT GAIN MONEY-WISE FROM OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA THROUGH THE TPPA, DO YOU THINK THEY CARE ? Stupid.
And in desperation that our beloved Malaysia might not sign the poisoned chalice TPPA, recnetly all pro-Singaporean elites put themselves to the wheel to convince the IGNORANT THAT IT IS A GOOD THING FOR MALAYSIA TO SIGN HER OWN DEATH WARRANT WHICH IS THE POISONED CHALICE TPPA. Stupid.
Singapore was confident of pushinig our beloved Malaysia to kill herself until the 19 ROUNDS OF VERY SECRET NEGOTIATIONS WERE EXPOSED. Our grandmothers were nearly sold again down river for free !
Vide. The finest reporting on spies in colour from the UMNO owned naive, friendly and hospitable New Straits Times Supplement Streets Central. Page 8, March 8 2014 !
HOWEVER, IF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA DOES NOT SIGN THE POISONED CHALICE TPPA DUE TO THE WISDOM OF OUR TOP LEADERSHIP, THE FOLLOWING ARE BOUND TO OCCUR WITHIN LESS THAN 25 YEARS
1. Singapore becomes the 53rd State of the Union.
2. Singapore becomes a British Colony again
3. Singapore re-merge with Malaysia. But an ancient saying, ‘ A good horse does not return to old pastures.’
4. Singapore maintains the status quo with its full-fledged military and its lend-lease hardware.
With a little bit of patience, we will all see how Singapore is going to hit above its weight.

I noticed that in recent weeks there has been a marked focus on 13 May 1969 by a small group of vocal recalcitrants who took part on that tragic day. Words of caution or reminders of responsible members of the Government have been twisted as threats.
I can vouch for what I said because I was at the Dewan Rakyat, Suleiman Court PAP rally, the Foch Avenue demonstrations, the victory parades of the political parties in Jalan Imbi and Jalan Sultan. These were no pleasant sights. But it was the period immedately after the Riots of 13 May 1969 which really hurt everyone – the Curfew which lasted about a month.
The Curfew which was 24 hours round the clock and later lifted in the mornings for people to buy their daily needs stopped all workers, shopkeepers, stallholders, transport workers, etc. from earning their daily wage which they relied upon. Some of them were killed or wounded. But the majority lost the livelihood because of the Curfew. The distribution of all essentials was stopped like food, petrol etc. In some areas, the Government had to deliver food there by their own transport because no food or transportation was available. There was no a single private vehicle on the road at all times. But the sirens of the ambulance or the patrol cars could be heard frequently.
Kuala Lumpur was like a ghost town punctuated by the sound of the solitary gunshot from the far distance.
The fakes and those with a secret agenda financed by foreign parties might think that they are on to the Achilles Heel of the BN.
I tell them the world of Malaysia in 2014 is an entirely different world from that of 1969. Kuala Lumpur has expanded more than 10 times. Many areas now have a mixed population. In 1969, the Police was over-stretched and most of the town was not covered by security with the ISA and the Sedition Law in FULL OPERATION ! In 2014, the population of Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley is 10 times bigger than in 1969 with a Police force which did not expand to keep up with the demographics. Plus a huge population of foreign workers who are not monitored in anyway. And some of them are at loggerheads with each other. There will be hardly security protection for anyone.
Hence, I was against the withdrawal of the ISA.
I hope the fakes who were born after 1969 and their seasoned handlers with a secret agenda and are believers in the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew Doctrine, ‘ Malaysia for Malaysians ‘ have a look back in history. In today’s Singapore 40% or more of the population demands ‘ Singapore for Singaporeans.’
Finally, I have always said that as long as the BN Government observes the Rule of Law, implements policies which are fair and equitable, maintains a normal and efficient bureaucracy and eschews from doing buisness or making money with the GLCs, there is nothing the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP or the Opposition can do until the 14th General Elections. At the moment, they can only resort to pin-pricks or nit-picking which they have done for 48 long years.

Salam Tun,
for Francis to complain about cronyism, I can only compare him to a prostitute who complaints why she suffered STD. This insufferable fool ought to be drowned to death in his dirty money and then left hanging to dry by his G-String for all to see.
Tabung Haji must stop using its members savings to bail out this ingrate.

The Dewan Rakyat was in an uproar today on the subject of the multi multi billionaire SELF-MADE tycoon. He was alleged to have said that our beloved Malaysia must get rid of crony captialism, racism and religious intolerance to be on par WITH HIS NEW WORLD.
Now, our Federal Government should retrieve all the IPPs and monopoliies from him to begin a new slate as he has benefitted immensely from the land of his birth and treat all of us as fools and stupid.
How can a country if it has ‘SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTERST, SELF-ESTEEM’ allow a blabber-mouth and arrogant Chinaman to get away with such wanton remarks and behaviour AFTER SIPHONING BILLIONS OF RINGGITS OF THE RAKYAT’S SUBSIDISED PROFITS OVERSEAS INTO INVESTMENTS WHICH GAVE A LOW AND UNGUARANTEED RETURN. SOMEONE MUST BE ONE DEGREE UNDER !
Is this guy alright using subsidized money to SUBSIDIZE DEVELOPED SINGAPORE, AUSTRALIA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM WHEN OUR RAKYAT NEED MONEY BADLY LIKE THE PROTON ? In fact, it is alleged that he was ungrateful to be an in an ambiguous and betrayed his goodwill and trust placed on him by his BENEFACTORS. And after 2003, he boasted that he is a self-made multi multi billionaire and donated big big bucks to the King’s College, London. It is believed that he is no alumnus of this College.
IF ALL THE OWNERS OF MONOPOLIES GIVEN BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PULL ALL THEIR RAKYAT SUBSIDIZED PROFITS OUT OF MALAYSIA AND INVEST IN STRUGGLING INDUSTRIES IN DEVELOPED SINGAPORE, AUSTRALIA, UNITED KINGDOM AND ELSEWHERE, IS IT THE INTENTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PERMIT THEM TO DO SO AND HAVE THEY BREACHED THE SPIRIT AND THE NITTY-GRITTY OF THE AGREEMENTS ?
IS SUCH WANTON BEHAVIOUR OF THESE MULTI- MULTI- BILLIONAIRES MORAL OR IMMORAL ?
MALAYSIA BOLEH !
It is now in the interest of the Rakyat and morality to undo what this SELF-MADE TYCOON grabbed which is his 22% GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED PROFIT BASED ON THE BACKS OF THE BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS OF THE RAKYAT. THERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT THIS FELLOW WHY HE SHOULD GET SOMETHING WHEN THE REST OF THE POPULATION CANNOT ! His recent public performance CLEARLY UNDERLINES HIS DEFICIENCY AND INCOMPETENCE AND ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION BY MONEY THAT HE LOST HIS BALANCE AND SENSES.

And for those Bloggers who do not believe that ingrates praisde the Singapore Government sky high and work in lock step with them using the Rakyat’s hard earned money to subsidize the troubling and cash strapped businesses in Singapore, here is the evidence :-

You have shown exemplary service in safeguarding our beloved Malaysia and her citizens for a life-time. And yet, because of reasons best known to themselves we find those whom we elected into power, sometimes behave in a most unexpected manner as recent events have shown.
Not only this, there are the Chinamen ingrates who openly deny they did not get any help at all from their benefactors. And it is all self-made. They can tell this to the marines. Some tell the tale of squatting by the roadside and were whisked off to Japan to be given a luscious franchise, some claimed their fathers were either wonton mee sellers, drivers, kepala, etc. None of these tales are true. This I can confirm.
It is time that we the loyal citizens of this country be on guard to safeguard ourselves and recognise who are our troublemakers both domestic and external.
The money problems of the one-street town, the Republic of Singapore, are raising its ugly head day by day. CPF Trust lost its citizens Trust money . In the vicissitudes of the present international financial World, there are no such thing as Guarantees as in the days of yore. There are far too many players in this gigantic money honey pot for anyone to be able to predict or even to influence what is going to happen.
The United States and the West have picked on the option to butt at the Russian bear.
Have they considered the consequences of such an act ? The last time this was done was during the Cold War which lasted 1948 – 1989 – 41 years which ended with the implosion of Communism for the benefit of all. Most of us thought it was the dawn of a golden era. But it is not to be with Pax America’s ‘ Globalisation, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ because of the multi-incongruity of different societies in different lands world wide which was further complicated by multi-lateral relationship instead of a bi-lateral one. And an America which became a hegemonistic super-power through Wars since 1776 !
The World as we know it is now heading for the great unknown with further escalation of events in Ukraine.
And with the human and money problems now arising in our close close neighbour Singapore and the changing leadership to come in the very near future, it pays for all of us citizens to support, to rally and to do things which are normal in the interest of our beloved country because any veering from the normal mean may mean disaster for us and the Society which we have built on for so long.
OF COURSE, IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TIME AND AGAIN THAT OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBOUR WOULD LIKE TO HAVE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA FOR BREAKFAST TWICE EVERY MORNING ! They have to starve awhile if our citizens are alert and cannot be seduced by ‘GREEKS BEARING GIFTS’ to quote Tun.
This is not the time for us to enter into any new adventures like fiddling with the Constitution for no reason at all.
And as for the big blabber-mouthed Chinamen who became multi multi billionaires through MONOPOLIES SUBSIDIZED BY THE RAKYAT’S MONEY EARNED FROM TOIL AND TEARS, where are they today if they did not get such MONOPOLIES. And in their irrelevant exuberance at the Rakyat’s expense, THESE CHINAMEN INGRATES CONVENIENTLY FORGET THEIR ROOTS LIKE THE MALAY SAYING, ‘ LIKE A PEA WHICH FORGOT ITS POD.”
And to top off their stupidity, these ingrates which are rich beyond belief because of their benefactors, now want some of the same BUT WITH MORE CROOKED SCHEMES ! Do they deserve more of the same which eventually the profits will be invested in the cash strapped industries of SINGAPORE, AUSTRALIA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM. One mult multi billionaire donated big big bucks to the King’s College, London.
And HAVE THESE INGRATES BREACHED THE TERMS OF THEIR MONOPOLIES WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ?

I seek your kind indulgence to explain the vital difference between the practice of medicine and the practice of the laws both of these subjects you know very well. But to us laymen, we are at a loss to discern the difference. To me it is simply this :-
It is difficult to study medicine and to become a doctor. But the study of the law subjects to become a lawyer is not that difficult. However, the practice of the laws is a much more difficult task as these concern human problems always and each human problem is different from another. Hence, the strong reliance of the legal fraternity on past or precedent cases. And to attempt a new legal presentation with every Suit. But in the practice of medicine, common maladies occur commonly like colds, flu, food poisoning, constipation, diarrhoea etc. Uncommon illness occur uncommonly. Therein lies the difference between the Laws and the medical illnesses. And to our astonishment the vital and supposedly living Laws which govern a part of our lives concerning money were NEVER REVISED AT ALL LIKE :-
1. Company Act 1965. No holistic (I copy) revision since 1965 – 49 years
2. Trustees Act 1949. Not revised at all for 65 years !
3. Bankruptcy Act 1967. Not revised at all for 47 years. I believe at least 200,000 young Malaysians are encapsulated here which stop them from doing anything productive during the 5 years they are incarcerated. How could we achieve Vision 2020 thus when advanced countries have reduced the period of incarceration to about 3 years or less !
IF I AM A FOREIGN INVESTOR, THE VERY FIRST THING I WILL DO IS TO INSTRUCT MY WORLD CLASS LEGAL EAGLE FROM NEW YORK OR LONDON TO STUDY THE MANY LOOP-HOLES IN THESE ARCHAIC MALAYSIAN LAWS ON HOW TO MAXIMIZE MY PROFITS QUICKLY AND LEGALLY ! He will come to the conclusion that no one has been convicted or sent to jail for any holistic (I copy) corporate malfeasance yet. Domestically, I am aware of many cases which ran ahead of the Laws and made big big bucks !
MALAYSIA BOLEH !

Sir, I read about the red-hot news this morniing that our distinguished Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak announced that our financial sector will be liberalised in 2017 – the Big Bang of Malaysia so to speak.
I wish to express my best wishes and congratulations for the reforms success.
However, all human behaviour and activity is governed by laws llike our Constitution and its relationship to Federal and State laws. And it is by the Rule of the Laws that the Government creates a level playing field for all Rakyat because 99.9% of us are not so richly endowed with 22% Government guaranteed profits (which is the Rakyat’s money) like what was given to the clever Chinaman who was unaware of the intense debate of the ‘Stupid and Ungrateful’ Chinamen just the week before. Anyway, this is just a distraction.
The main nub of the matter in any new pursuit of new Policies must be governed by very up-to-date Laws. For example, squeaky clean Singapore has an International Arbitration Centre IN ANTICIPATION THAT MALAYSIA WILL SIGN THE POISONED CHALICE TPPA SINCE 2005 !
In the case of our beloved Malaysia because the AG Chambers had been so busy all these years with political suits that I believe they are short of staff and has no time for dealing with the REAL SINEWS OF OUR EXISTENCE THROUGH THE RULE OF THE LAWS which many ACTS govern our behaviour in PRIVATE AS IN PUBLIC sectors.
I AM REFERRING TO OUR ARCHAIC LAWS IN THE CORPORATE WORLD. These are laws which have NEVER BEEN REVISED PROPERLY SINCE THEIR INCEPTION as follows :-
1. The Companies Act 1965 – Seldom up-dated.
2. The Trustees Act 1949 – Never up-dated since April 1949 and suitable for a slow moving British Colony.
3. The Bankruptcy Act 1967 – A very cruel Act which is 19th century Victorian in origin.
The Republic of Singapore has the most advanced mechanism in operation to up-date its laws to control the citizenry. It is alleged some laws may have been amended on the spot.
HOW TO ADVANCE TO REFORM OUR FINANCIAL SECTOR TO SERVE THE NATIONAL INTEREST WHEN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA RELIES ON LAWS WHICH ARE OUT-DATED AND DO NOT COVER THE 21ST CENTURY BUT ONLY THE 19TH ? To do so without AMENDING AND BRING OUR RELEVANT LAWS UP TO DATE IS JUST LIKE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE either to the advantage or the disadvantage of the all-important foreign investor whoever they will be Singapore or Timbucktoo !
Before every General Election in recent times, there were promises to reform the Laws, but this was conveniently forgotten after winning. This is bad marks for whoever is responsible !

What goes around, comes around ! Our beloved Malaysia has been assailed for decades by the pompous and sanctimonous remarks of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 18 failed Policies for Singapore. These remarks which maybe coupled with his Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP and the ungentlemanly and low-class spying on his abang adeks sexual pecadilloes since 1972 and the information passed onto Third Parties as reported by Wikileaks, clearly confirms what is happening in Singapore now every day ! The independent media as follows :-

Suddenly the Singapura which was in LKY’s image has come to a grinding slowdown if the independent information which is coming out daily, is dependable. The following events seem as reported in the following

http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/06/06/cpf-is-a-time-bomb/
A cursory analysis of recent information along traditional lines reveal :-
1. The CPF contributors will never get their contributions back in full.
2. The increased contributions in whatever form underlines the fact that the CPF is only holding pieces of paper guaranteed by the Singapore Government with a 2.5% per annum interest rate – a form of money laundering and is lower than the inflation rate.
3. The domestic money has already been invested in all forms of foreign equities etc.
4. It is interesting to note whether the MAS performs like a Currency Board or a Central Bank.
6. With the lopsided money in circulation, are times going to be hard for the 99% ordinary Singaporean citizen ? Time will tell.
7. The Government had to forego S$ 5 Billion in development expenditure this year in response to the oppostion against more employment of foreigners, etc.

Salam Tun,
kerajaan Singapura ditadbir oleh sekumpulan orang jahat yang menindas rakyat, situasi yang sama di beberapa buah negeri di Malaysia. Mereka itu berfikir bahawa rakyat boleh dikeldaikan sewenang-wenangnya. Isu catuan air di Selangor dan Penang Darul-Sampah-wal-Taik menjadi ‘mercutanda’ kepada dua kerajaan negeri yang ditakluk DAP.
Saya petik ayat yang saya baca dari link yang diberikan oleh Tuan Mubarak di sini – The English philosopher John Stuart Mill stated that “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”
Kalau boleh kita bandingkan senario yang sama “Orang jahat (DAP,PKR,PAS) tak perlu banyak merencana, apabila orang baik (UMNO-BN) hanya melihat tanpa bertindak.”
Saya sangat khawatir, apa yang berlaku di Singapura (isu CPF) juga akan berlaku dengan EPF dan Tabung Haji. Kadang-kadang di tempat-tempat yang baik, di sana akan ada ramai orang jahat yang ambil peluang menyorok.
Boleh tak Auditor General dihantar segera untuk pastikan tiada salah-laku di kedua-dua institusi tersebut?

I am certain that our EPF is not doing what the CPF is doing which raised the ire of the Singaporean citizens as follows :-

For the Saudara with the succinct comment. For decades, I realized that we friendly, hospitable and kind Malaysians were being brainwashed, taken for a ride and got bullied by people who actually have nothing. When I began to comment on this distinguished Blog, I knew I had infomration which were/are true since October 1951 ! I only stick to facts and the broad strokes of public policies. I am not interested in being abusive or in the personal peccadilloes of others. My main purpose from day one is to reverse the brainwashed minds not to worship fake idols and my wish that all Malaysians behave normally and be proud of our beloved country and our fellow citizens. Importantly a Chinese should not feel different from the other communities as the other communities should not feel different from us. And the most important of all that the Malays should feel they are like all of the other communities throughtout the World as being normal. I have noted that some cruelly do down the Malays for many decades. This is not fair if you know what I know.

It was only last weei when we were discussing the labelling of the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese as being ” sTUPID AND UNGRATEFUL ‘. I even cracked a joke that some Chinese are so very clever as to be stupid.
And today, I could not avoid the issue of the ungrateful Chinaman all over the place wherever I turned from newspaper to the World of the Web. As I said before I am one of the many many Chinese who are grateful but there are the very few who exhibit their ungratefulness through their actions with their investments or those who boasted of their achievements in KL in the Singaporean bankers, golf courses or over mahjong tables to the Singapore PAP elite to show they were great. I consider this is ungratefulness at its worst. In both incidents, my witnesses were upset that such Chinese could do such things. On the one hand, they could take from their benefactors and on the other betrayed them.
I do not know how to label a person who acquired a Malaysian Monopoly which is usually subsidized by the Rakyat and then siphoned its profits as overseas iinvestments sometimes in countries which are bent on conquering and controlling over beloved Malaysia and may destroy what Malaysia means to all of us who have no other home to go to. Ungrateful ? Loss of control due to flattery like another place ?
I cannot define thiese big-mouth Chinese who think the World is their oyster by being arrogant away from the very country which made them. Time will tell.
Man proposes. God disposes.
Salam Tun,
the first thing I do when visiting CheDet blog is to search and read the latest post by Tuan Mubarakchan. If I were the PM, I would have engaged him as the govt’s adviser to all things pertaining our relationship with Singapore.
Thank you Tuan Mubarak. You are a great Malaysian statesman and you have been very consistent, open and sincere with your comments in this blog. May Allah bless your efforts and reward you in this lifetime and the hereafter. Ameen.

I do not know whether I should laugh or to cry, Sir after I gave deep thought to the results at Teluk Intan.
The colourless, dull and obstinate DAP leadership which did not do a thing for the Rakyat for 48 years but only offered ” Mlalaysia for Malaysians ‘ and a pretty face in the form of a young girl with not public record could muster 19,999 votes and nearly won, had either attempted a sick joke on the Malaysian Democratic arena or a one-off brilliant strategic manoeuvre of the World Class standard.
How could this come about ? A majority of only 238 votes for a respectable candidate with a record and standing in 2014 ? How could this have happened with a BN as led by the UMNO with the 15 component parties ?
Why 19,999 fools voted for hot air made in Singapore which is now struggling to keep its own CREDIBILITY AND RESPECTABILITY WITH ITS OWN CITIZENS ?
How could all these be with the huge resources not only in terms of money but ideas in the BN ?
These mean to me that the majority of 238 votes can be inreased to a majority of 23,800 votes at the next General Elections if the BN seeriously sit down and THINK OUT THE OPTIONS TO WIN !
These mean to me that there are weapons in the arsenal of the BN which have either been forgottein due to the very good years under your 22 year Administration, Tun or these weapons were spiked without deliberate intention. Fortunately, the arsenal to further the cause of our Malaysian Democracy is still there – hidden in the dark recesses of our minds !
Fortunately, the BN won in the major skirmishes due to the bungling and arrogance of the Opposition beinig copycats of the fast rising citizenry problems now popping up in their spiritual homeland Singapore – good old King Canute and the waves of money of yore !
Fortunately, the bungling and arrogant Opposition seduced by the smooth talking types in Western salons was not down to Earth and lost to the BN over 16 years even in 3 EASY STEPS. (See how our friends the Thais get rid of a tyrant made in a foreign place) ! OUR THAI FRIENDS RAN AROUND THE STREETS OF BANGKOK HOLISTICALLY ( I copy ). We could see theri fervent desire in their eyes, NO PROXIES. This was why they won ! ONE EASY STEP !
Yes ! The BN as led by the UMNO with the 15 component parties should WIN WITH BIG MAJORITIES IN THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTIONS given some serious soul searching to unlock the hidden howitzers or rocket launchers now forgotten and hidden in their minds ! Acheh !
THIS CAN BE DONE AND MUST BE DONE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE BY THE BN WHICH SHOULD NOW BRING OUT THE FORGOTTEN WEAPONS OF A DEMOCRATIC WAR AND LET THE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE CONTINUE WITH ITS BUNGLING BY PRODUCING MORE PRETTY GIRLS WITH NO RECORD AS THEIR MANIFESTO OF SUCCESS IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.
THE BN IDEAS WILL SHOOT DOWN THE BUNGLING OPPOSITION WHICH TOUTED THEMSELVES AS HOLISTIC ( I copy ) AND INTELLECTUAL. Now every one has money by the billions of ringgits to fight a General Election ! But fortunately, the Opposition has no ideas which they missed in 3 EASY STEPS over 17 years ! How many more chances do the Opposition wants ? MAN PROPOSES GOD DISPOSES !

I am of the opinion that since the last MCA incumbent at the Ministry of Tourism thought the Ministry was the Ministry for Tourism, it is time we let Gerakan take-over in the national interst.
Tun
As I was saying, the Government should push firmly and strongly in the Tourism sector as one of its many tools to win the next General Elections in the near future. This is the easiest and simplist to do in the delivery of goodies to the Rakyat. The second most important Ministry, the Ministry of Tourism is there to do the job.
Overnight, we are now faced with more disturbing news of the slowing economies all round the World. And this happens in mid-summer when demands for goods and services should be at the highest in the Western Hemisphere. The problem as always the spin-masters in BBC, CNBC, CNN and Bloomberg churn out so much spin that to the ordinary man in the street, it is not easy to differentiate the wheat and the chaff.
An indicator Gold, the price of which seems to be telling us something despite the fact that major Western countries want it to stay down.
The upping of small skirmishes in Ukraine and the South China Sea are not happy events for international trade. We really do not know what all these incidents will lead to. And for the very first time, there are so many terrorist incidents in Africa and the Middle East whilst Uncle Sam is still around.
For the Federal Government to move big into the expansion, development and promotion of all tourist activities and deliver the goodies to the Rakyat, it does not cost much money but can end up employing thousands of people for the task – Thanks to the snowballing effect. The sooner the Ministry of Tourism takes up the cudgel the better as time is of the essence. Forewarned is forearmed. And the establishment of a rapport with the Rakyat at this time is timely arising from the Teluk Anson momentum !
THIS MOVE POSITIVELY AND FIRMLY BY THE BN CANNOT BE THWARTED BY THE OPPOSITIION WHICH HAS NO ANSWER IN RESPONSE TO SUCH A MOVE. They can only stand and stare !

Believe it or not, there is the beginning of a cyber-revolution in the one-street Republic of Singapore which arose from the citizens discontent with the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s 18 failed Policies for Singapore.
What happened was that without consulting the citizens, the Singapore Government quietly and rashly issued guaranteed notes to the CPF at very low rates and invested these monies in Singapore Government owned opaque entities, like the GIC and Temasek Holdings which were then called Sovereign Funds.
For years I was wondering where all these wondeful funds came from. Now I know that these funds came off the backs of their hard-working citizens – the 99% of the population.
With the full confidence of the elite leadership of Singapore with the smartest fellow on top that anything they do is world class and cannot go wrong, the unexpected became a certainty of a horrendous loss not only on Wall Street in October 2008 but also the Thaksin investment of US$ 1.3 Billions which is just as significant being that of turning an otherwise peaceful and stable country, smiling and friendly Thailand into a bloody turmoil.- A turmoil with the unnecessary loss of innocent human lives of men, women and children.
Malaysia has no such blood on her hands !
If our Government signs the poisoned chalice TPPA created by Singapore in 2006, all bets are off on whether our beloved Malaysia suffers a bloody turmoil or not ! Vide New Straits Times. Streets Central Supplement. Page 8. March 8. 2014 for a superficial view of the embedded players in this Act.
With so much losses around the balance sheets of these vaunted Government investment entities, the CPF is now forced to raise further monies through its contributors which has now created an outcry. And for the very first time, many Singaporeans now suddenly woke up to the reality of what happened to all their hard-earned money which they deposited in TRUST with the CPF.
By placing Trust money into high risk commercial instruments like equities at the end of a Kondratieff Cycle, there can only one rersult – a horrendous loss. This option was probably not considered in the irrational exuberance in investing in all these high faluting places coupled with a feel good feeling lubricated by huge dolllops of flattery by pale faced and dark hair mega billionaires on Wall Street.
To put it bluntly, certain ordinary folks took World Class Singapore for a ride to be paid good money by way of commissions both ways, buying and selling ! I like to stress there was no corruption involved in all these buying and selling but only a moment of human weakness !
To be World Class the risk of a World Class titanic loss is always there as recorded by all the books at the Kino or Borders or MPH !
Absulutel power corrupts absolutely. I sincerely hope our Federal Government, EPF, Tabung Haji and other institutional funds do not go the way of the MERITOCRATIC AND ELITIST SINGAPORE – The shininig meritocratic light and elitist example of those who benefitted from the BN as led by the UMNO with the 15 component parties and now want to pull their Benefactor down.
If Singapore’s meritocratic elite had considered putting all these Trust paper money into GOLD at US$300 per ounce, these well-paid folks would be out of a job and Malaysia would have been under Singapore’s control long long ago.
JUST ONE EASY STEP INSTEAD OF RELYING ON THE BUNGLING SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE DAP.
She would have been an equal partner with the great United States, India and China in gold terms. A huge new industry altogether. There would have been gold banks, smelters, jewellery, gold bonds and anything to do with gold. Malaysia’s currency would have been exposed to the strength of a country solid with gold. Then, the huge military with the lend-lease hardware would have been worthwhile to protect the physical gold, if any !
Why ? Because Singapore has NOTHING but only BLUFFOLOGY WHICH IS BASED ON AGING BRAIN CELLS WITH AN UNKNOWN EXPIRY DATE ! This fact is the most calamitous of all the elite meritocratic leadership failings.
Singapore finally dispensed with the meritocratic pyramid in 2013 when 2 Ministers announced that future application for jobs or promotions will not be based on academic credentials alone but also hidden talents. Kudos to the Singapore Government for correcting a wrong which was at the expense of 99% of its population for at least 2 generations.
The sufferings of the Singaporean people are now slowly coming to roost which is a strange happening in a World Class country based on money, money, money with probably the highest income per capita in the World.

How many of us notice that the Ministry of Tourism which was once treated as just an appendage to the Government has now become important politically and to garner of foreign exchange for the Government ?
This Ministry was neglected for a long while for the simple reason that our country has bountiful natural resources for export and had no problem in earning large amounts of foreign currency. This was the past. We now have to exploit whatever source of revenue and political advantage wherever we can to provide jobs and income to the Rakyat.
In my mind, the Ministry of Tourism has become second in importance to the Ministry of Finance. Unfortunately, the last MCA incumbent at the Ministry treated it as a Ministry for Tourism and ran up a bill of millions of ringgits which was the subject of much controversy.
Trips were made to the finest developed countries of the World like the Southern Antipodes. New Zealand was mentioned and it is known that country has 2 million sheep and 1 million population. Australia was part of the tour but good old Sime Darby, the money bag was not asked to sponsor. Sime has already set up facilities for its executives and prominent Malaysians at strategic places for rest and recreation for decades. It even sponsors the New Zealand Ocean Racing for at least 9 years ! We Malaysians are so friendly and hospitable with others money !
The erstwhile Minister journeyed on to London to receive a Gold Medal from the Queen of England instead of giving one to her. London as we all know is a worldly wise place with more exotice and interesting flowers than orchids from Malaysia ! At the end of this redoubtable journey, it was wonderful whilst it lasted, the head count of the incoming tourists to Malaysia showed the majority came from India, China, ASEAN and the Middle East. That was one Minister’s view of the Ministry of Tourism.
My interpretation of this particular Ministry rests with the fact that even Germany. Italy and Japan rose from the ashes of War and their flattened lands entirely from their successes in tourism which came well before their re=construction and re-industrialization. It was the quickest and cheapest way not only to garner foreign exchange but also to deliver the goodies in the form of jobs and income to the destitute population after a horrendous War. From here we can take a leaf from their experiences and results which made these countries to what they are today – Great !
On our part, the Ministry of Tourism is a font or umbrella organisation which can stretch out its tentacles to all the BN States to expand and develop this tourist industy based on our ecological resources and Malaysian way of life with its exotic Malaysian cuisine and the gentle living in our towns and villages. We are rich in Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine which maybe showcased in appropriate places like next to a wet market for example under hygienic conditions.
The employment of the Rakyat to push for the expansion of tourism and make it work also provides jobs and incomes. Transportation will play a major role here in a couintry inter-laced with many highways and by-eays. The snowball effects of goodies are too many to mention. All travel agents and more are to be brought into play. State training schools for hospitality and tourism in which the practice of hygiene should be the NO. 1 priority. Hotels to cater to the needs of tourists both domestic and foreign would retain more tourist ringgits to the locale.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR OF ALL IS THAT TRAVEL AGENTS AND THOSE WHO TAKE PART IN THE PUSH FOR TOURISM IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY MAKE PROFITS !
Many years ago, I was travelling in the First Class cabin of a well-known international airline. I found myself sitting next to a German executive. After a wonderful repast at 30,000 ft, I could not contained myself but to gently ask my neighbour why he did not travel by his own national airline, Lufthansa ? Surprisingly, he replied, ‘ For every US$ 100,000 my company spent, I get a payment of US$ 30,000 !’ From then on, I was confident that I could be a successful travel agent.
The Ministry of Tourism should play a very important part of reaching out to the Rakyat in terms of jobs and income. This is the fastest method to return election promises and to lay down the rapport for the next General Elections. Many keen young graduates could be employed to facilitate this most important project of the Ministry. Of course, infra-structure development should never be forgotten but these require large captial and slow in their implementation. BUT TOURISM FITS THE HOLISTIC (I copy) AIMS OF AN INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT TO A ‘T’ !
And the Government as led by the UMNO with its 15 component parties through the expansion, encouragement and pursuit of tourism whether domestic or foreign CAN DO WHAT THE OPPOSITION CANNOT DO FOR THE NEXT 14TH GENERAL ELECTIONS AND WIN !
Malaysia has always implemented Policies for the betterment of her Rakyat without a brutal calculation of the monetary returns of a development project unlike the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 18 failed Policies for Singapore. Here lies the difference. Money. Money. Money.
MALAYSIA BOLEH !

Our beloved Malaysia used to be an uninteresting and boring place. But it is no longer. Within a span of a few weeks we have President Obama dropping by, our very own Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak doing his rounds at the very top in Beijing on kissing terms, the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese have been described as stupid and ungrateful and least but not last the BN victory at Teluk Anson where a Delilah was offered to clip Samson’s curly hair-locks. What more exciting events does our beloved Malaysia want ?
Why ? From the boring and non-exciting years of yore, overnight our beloved Malaysia seems to be the darling of the powerful and mighty. You have warned that we should be careful with Greeks bearing gifts. AND WE HAVE ALREADY GOT ONE SINGAPOREAN TROJAN HORSE TOO MANY ! Lest we forget we have friends also in Russia, EU, Japan, South Korea India, Pakistan, ASEAN and the Middle Eastern and Central Asian countries and in Africa and South America too l It is at times like this that we should be friends with all and not gloat over the fact that we are kissed on both cheeks by the powerful and mighty. This is where the wisdom and experience of our BN leadership comes into play.
AS A RESPONSIBLE MEMBER OF THE WORLD COMMUNITY WHICH PRACTICES DEMOCRACY, BY BEHAVING NORMALLY WE WILL SUSTAIN OUR MOMENTUM AND REMAIN STRONG AND UNITED TO BE FRIENDS WITH ALL !
With the diversity of peoples and the relligions and most importantly, Islam, our beloved Malaysia should be at the forefront of international councils and be the cockpit of World peaceful events without the bombs and bullets.
With this aspect, we should strengthen our diplomatic service with diplomats of quality and standing to face their foreign counterparts on equal terms. This is a area which seemed to be treated as a cocktail circuit in the past. The evergreen NSTP Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8. 2014 clearly shows how seriously other countries take to retrieve good information through spies especially Singapore. Vide Wikileaks.
With the cognizance that Malaysia is now recognised as a country of strategic importance both politicallly and geographically, it pays to focus on the Opposition loose-cannons which we expect to have started their salvoes after their Waterloo at Teluk Intan. The good thing is the Opposition could not see how they could have conquered Putrajaya by 3 EASY STEPS.
CONVERSELY, PLEASE BN DO NOT LOSE PUTRAJAYA BY 3 EASY STEPS ! The best method is to permit the Opposition to fire BLANKS !
The Opposition has already aroused the ire of the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese by calling them STUPID ! I do not think they are STUPID but they are too clever by far for their own good !
On the other side of the political spectrum, the Chinese have been called ungrateful. With the facts before me, especially that big mouth multi-billiionaire of mixed parentage who boasted about his top connections in KL to the PAP elite at the Singapore Island Golf Club in the 1980s and others, I tend to agree that some Chinese are ungrateful. These Chinese should not make a mockery of their friends who made them very rich. Ungrateful.
My take on the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese only :
I often asked my Malays friends, ‘ Have you ever met a stupid Chinese ?’ They would all replied ‘No!’ I continued, ‘But you have met some who are so very clever as to be stupid !’ They looked puzzled and could not reply. Then, I rolled out a few household names. My Malay friends all agreed and roared with laughter !
MALAYSIA BOLEH !

The blame game amongst the Opposition troika has already started this morning. What more can we say ? It is just raw arrogance and brutal abuse of other people’s achievements which have brought the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to the point of near destruction.
We do not need more. Just one little prick into the skin of this made in Singapore faux horse is all it takes to do the job. Implosion will have to happen with all those run around very clever Chinese in its bowels.
How long can a normal person last in a party, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which ACTUALLY desires to be in the Opposition eternally ? I have always believe that all politicians are ambitious people and want to see movement to the top, the very top. But in the DAP, we see their supporters are actually HELD BACK from going to the top.
What sort of leadership the DAP has who missed the reins of power at Putrajaya by not ONE but THREE EASY STEPS ?
And over a period of over 14 years. Each day has 24 hours, each month 31 days and a year has 365 days or 12 months. 14 years and the DAP dull colourless and obstinate leadership could not see the 3 EASY STEPS TO POWER AT PUTRAJAYA. What were the DAP leadership thinking all these 14 years ? NOTHING !
All DAP supporters shouldl run to the Moon !
We now see the snowball effect of a major political strategic slip up by the self-glorified DAP leadership – just like their spiritual MasterMentor in their spiritual Homeland south of the border. The shattered destiny of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP rests now and always entirely on the shoulders of one man who now thinks only of promoting a muse and not a matron ! This muse happening is no longer amusing. Acheh !
Let us hope whoever is responsible for this Singapore Trojan Horse DAP embarassing Delilah fiasco take up his/her responsibility like my favourtie America Harry S Truman who said, ‘ THE BUCK STOPS AT MY DESK ‘.
MALAYSIA BOLEH !

There is no time to lose in the preparation of the BN to win at the next General Elections as led by the UMNO with the 15 component parties by taking advantage of a major strategic slip up by the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. The dull, colourless and obstinate DAP failed because for the very first time, the one-man leadership reached beyond the normal parameters of the human mind. Strange, to say, this malady also affected his mentor and spiritual leader the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 18 failed Policies for Singapore which is the spiritual homeland of the DAP. The brain can behave in a funny manner to all of us, as you are aware Tun ! We here see another example of this malady !
The low turnout is a harbinger of things to come for the out of date Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. Its internal strife will begin tomorrow. And with such a long history of being in the Opposition who are going to be its supporters anymore – with its perceived policy to be just opposing FOR SOMEONE ELSE. Maybe it is the biggest con job in the land like as it is in another place ! Turning clever Chinamen to behave stupid by supporting the DAP !
Also, my proposal for the BN States to go all out to expand tourist facilities for the good of all as regards jobs and incomes for the Rakyat is very doable and possible in a short space of time to get results. The Opposition can not deliver in any way except to get their proxies to run around the streets of Kuala Lumpur making fools of themselves to the World at large who had seen better demonstrators than this lot of well-fed and well-dressed young folks.
The 14th General Elections is just a whisker away and the push for more tourism in each State is the fastest delivery method to the Rakyat apart from the usual promises already made at the last General Elections. With a concerted effort to do things, unnecessary remarks by all and sundry should be cast into the dust bin for the moment and focus should be on the task at hand as guided by the BN leadership.
Each State has beautiful natural resources for eco-tourism. And each State has bountiful Malay, Chinese and Indian cuisine which may need some support as regards putting all in a central location with hygenic facilities. There would be a requirement for transportation and clean hotel facilities which all add up to jobs and income for the Rakyat in the shortest span of time. With a political will and determination, all these can be done !
To win the 14th General Elections, the moment to begin is now. We can safely forget about the poisoned chalice TPPA until after winning the next General Elections as long as the Government does not sign it in haste if ever !
MALAYSIA BOLEH !

For those poets at heart, ‘ ONE DAP SWALLOW DOES NOT AN INDIAN SUMMER MAKE.’ My apologies to whoever crafted those words.

The best news for tonight is that the BN won Teluk Anson.
My congratulations and best wishes to all those in the BN who had worked so hard in their support of this victory over the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP.
It was frivolous of the dull, colourless and obstinate DAP leadership to put up a beautiful young lady with no record whatsover to be its candidate. One does not jump from A to Z just like that. A person who wants to take part in the public affairs of the country must be seen to be holistic (I copy) and serious and not someone who is also suitable for other public contests.
No wonder the spiritual leader the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 18 failed Policies for Singapore their spiritual home had always looked in an askance manner at all Malaysians. The very specially crafted Trojan Horse never trotted, cantered or gallop off to win a race since 1966. Am I too early to call the made in Singapore DAP a born loser or a non-starter !
Ii is good to note tonight that some Malaysians especially the Chinese who were described as ‘STUPID’ and ‘UNGRATEFUL’ have woken up to the fact that they are Malaysians and not Singaporeans. This proved that they are not quite that stupid !
Be that as it may, with the decades of brainwashing through the Chinese news media and the specialised propaganda organs of the one-street Republic which is Singapore, hopefully, the Malaysian Chinese will finally realise that they can only butter their own bread or cook their own rice. The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew is not going to do this for them especially the dull, colourless and obstinate DAP leadership who will be faced with internal strifes from tomorrow onwards. The mistake was to put up a muse and not a matron. As it is said. ‘To err is human !’
Tonight is also a golden opportunity for the BN leadership to roll on with the political momentum. This can only be achieved if the playing field is flat and normal which should be always. This is not the time to make mountains out of mole hills. This is realpolitik. No prisoners should be taken but the juggernaut of the BN rolls on through this tiny breach in the skin of the made in Singapore Trojan Horse which is DAP. There should be two willing partners of the BN with the support of the UMNO to widen this breach and send the remains of this horse back to Singapore for good ! There is no time to waste. A pointer is that the BN fulfils its promises to the Rakyat of Teluk Anson and more eg. with more infrastructure development to turn Teluk Anson into a world class tourist centre. With the proposed expansion in tourism, this is the fastest and best way to provide jobs and income to the Rakyat already living there. This should be done without any delay whatsoever. By the next election, the majority should be 23,800 !
If every State controlled by the BN adopts measures which are connected with infra-structure develoment and the expansion of tourism now, it is difficult for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to counter such holistic (I copy) investments for the Rakyat because not only do the Rakyat get the jobs but also the income in a holistic (I copy) way. Seeing is believing.
Tourism in all the States is one good counter against the Opposition of which one member the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP spent more than 48 years doing nothing for the Rakyst and with the same leadership just like in Singapore !
There is no time for the BN to waste to prepare for the 14th General Elections to win hands-down ! The time is now not tomorrow !

These are exciting days. Hardly a day passes without some interesting incident occurring in Malaysia or squeaky clean Singpaore which are now in the throes of self-doubt as to the sustainability of all that which glitters around its citizen. Some of them must be pinching themselves hard to find out if it is a dream come true. And what is all the fuss ?
With the independent reports of my favourite Singaporean journalist Seah Chiang Nee disppearing from the Star’s Saturday columns, I found I lack one credible source of news from Singapore. At the beginning, his comments were quite sedentary. But as time went on and especially when his columns became more objective in 2013 on the Singapore’s citizens scenario, it must have been too much to bear for the authorities to ignore such opinions altogether. Concomitant with the measures to be undertaken by the CPF to raise more money for its coffers, the Singaporean contributors were muttering four letter words to themselves in squeaky clean Singapore.
In September 2013, an interesting interview of the retired senior civil service official, Ngiam Tong Dow was reported in the Siingapore Medical Association News of all places. One of his interesting insights was a comment by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. ‘ Ngiam, are you the Permanent Secretary of the Budget and Revenue Divisions at MOF ? Ngiam replied ‘Yes.’ To which the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew replied, ‘ What’s wrong with collecting more money ?’ This was on the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) a form of transportation tax for all. What is significant Ngiam Tong Dow avoided the issue of how the CPF’s money ended up with the Singapore Government and its commercial entities which put Trust money at risk in the fast moving financial World. There were are interesting insights mentioned by Ngiam Tong Dow. By October, Ngiam had to retract all that he said at the interview and more.
With the rising discontent of the Singaporean citizens on the performance of the Singaporean CPF and its insights, we have identified the 18th Policy failure of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. This is a very difficult issue for the Singapore Government to resolve as there is no absolute certainty how the CPF is going to retrieve the capital sums which have been lent to the Singapore Government at very low interest rates of about 2% and on the assumpition that such money would have been invested in all sorts of securities before the crash of October 2008. And such investments which are now wallowing inside a titanic bubble created by no less than the Fed’s Quantitative Easing. With stronger and stronger hints of a slowing down of China’s economy, all these negatives statistics must have a knock-on results in the months to come. And the CPF’s money which was loaned out to the Singapore Government to do business ? Your guess is as good as mine.
I have never used Trust’s money for commercial gain especially in the hoi-polloi markets of Wall Street and the City of London. To this day, Governments around the World have found it slow and difficult to reform the bad habits of the Big Bang of the 1980s.
MONEY MONEY MONEY !

After the ‘stupid and ungrateful’ Chinese of Malaysia, we now turn to the ‘stupid and ungrateful Chinese of Singapore.’ There is a bigger storm brewing out of the Singaporean tea-cup with the majority of Singaporeans now feel uneasy at how and where their precious Singapore Dollars went after being deposited into the CPF. All sorts of concerned citizens join the throng of Singaporeans who now want their money back. And this is in squeaky clean Singapore. My thughts are with them.
When I was on the Board of a national institution some years ago, my very first task was to stop the management doing business with lowly commercial concerns even though they might have a glittering brand name. It is just commonsense. All monies should be used for national development and not for the financial centres of the developed world. As alwlays, the Federal Government requires as much funding as possible.

In one sunny day, the Chinese have been called ‘stupid’ by a leader of the Opposition and ‘ungrateful’ by one from the BN. I find it rather amusing that this bunch of Malaysian Chinese who would have voted for any incumbent Government in the World outsdie jurisdiction, being so labelled. I can only point the blame to their weak political leaderships whether it is the MCA or the navel contemplatng Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. And partly to the Chinese Media who has always been deep with matters concerning the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore. There hangs the tale of the stupid and ungrateful Chinese of Malaysia.
A. Stupid. The Opposition could have gained power at Putrajaya in 3 EASY STEPS, thus.
1. In 1997, if the DPM had taken a holiday with his family to Disneyland, he would have returned as the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia. But he took the advice of his kitchen cabinet who are still strong with the BN. Events which should not have happened, happened. ONE EASY STEP.
2. In 2008, if the 32 seats had been dealt with BEFORE the General Elections and not AFTER, the Opposition would have been in power and won 2 general elections by now. They forgot they would have controlled the Khazanah with cost free options. ONE EASY STEP.
3. In 2013, if the Opposition booked into the First Class Ward of the KLGH and announced a 100 day hunger strike and boycotted the 13th General Elections, the BN would have won 100% of the seats with just 49% of the votes. The whole World would have been in an uproar and BN would have lost Putrajaya.
ONE EASY STEP.
B. Ungrateful. It seems this word was taken out of context and it is up to the wise men of the BN with wisdom and aplomb to iron this out. However, there are many grateful Chinese and I am one of them who kept a low profile, humble and normal who delivered in the national interest.
Through my concept and with other Malay interests and the final assistance of 2 major Singaporean companies, Sime Darby PLC was taken over for only RM 23 Millions by December 1976.
I never asked for favours, money or titles ( even though I was involved in many many such endeavours which made many Malays very rich and Chinese also. And some of these people called me names which I could be bothered because of their low IQ status. )
BECAUSE I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME WHEN THE MISUNDERSTOOD MALAYSIAN CHINESE LED BY VERY WEAK POLITICAL LEADERSHIPS AND INSTIGATED BY OUTSIDERS WOULD COME LIKE TODAY AND IN RECENT YEARS..
Today’s affair really shows how much the TOP LEADERSHIPS understand each other. It is time they should do so in the National Interest.
And this clearly illustrates that there are many types of Chinese in this beloved land. The strange thing is the heavy involvement of Singapore and its brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s involvement in the domestic politics of Malaysia since 1963 WITHOUT A BREAK and confirmed by Wikileaks that spying on the sexual peccadilloes of full blooded Malaysians has been going on since 1972 and passed on to Third Parties. Spying is not only the oldest profession of the World but also used to button down recclcitrant politicla leaderships to toe the line. Spymasters of Singapore have been made Presidents.
That 9 June 2009 trip to the Ulus at the age of 85, confirmed the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s obsession to conquer and control our beloved Malaysia through proxies with the poisoned chalice TPPA to soften the underbelly of resistance, if any. Smart and cunning. However, one should note that none of his brilliant Policies have succeeded so far !
Most Malaysians would deny the hidden hand of Singapore in Malaysian Politics. This is due to brainwashing and the conjured focus on Lee Kuan Yew’s brilliance. The Chinese Media which should know better because the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew removed the Chinese Vernacular Schools and Nantah, has been over-reaching the terms of their licences. This is best illustrated by the Star doing business with the PAP controlled media in Singapore.
IS THE STAR BREACHING THE TERMS OF THEIR LICENCE BY SLEEPING WITH THEIR POLITICAL RIVALS PAP/DAP OUTSIDE OF JURISDICTION ? The business is so small that the profits so produced does not warrant the risk of being exposed as two-timing. What was the purpose then ? By acts like this which the Malaysian Chinese indulged in without much thought (but think smart) which attracted deservedly criticism of their political behaviour. MAYBE THE LEADER WAS REFERRING IN PARTICULAR ONLY TO THIS SINGULAR EVENT.
IN POLITICS IT IS EITHER YOU ARE WITH ME OR AGAINST ME.

For the edification of all Bloggers, the Part 2 of how Singapore creates its Reserves being the issue to CPF of the Singapore Government IOU’s at low interest rate of about 2% and passed these Trust funds as SOVEREIGN FUNDS OF SINGAPORE. What surplus profit made goes into the Singapore Government coffers.
Vide. http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/05/25/looking-into-singapores-resereves-part-2/
With the horrendous losses of these ‘Sovereign Funds’ on Wall Street, the assets and contributions of CPF were forced to move higher and higher
This is how the indigenous Singaporeans were hollowed out by their own Singapore Government and properly screwed down with the Singapore elitist Governmnet 2 Child Policy of 1970s and 1980s. There is a song, ‘ THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME.’
However, in the case of Khazanah, Government funds are just transferred to it for whatever purpose required. The fastest money from one point to another with no checks or accountability and managed by Civil Servants.

For all Bloggers, here is how the elitist Singapore Government creates money without money from its citizens CPF Trust money. Please view http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/05/24/looking-into-singapores-resereves-part-1/
When President Ong Teng Cheong wanted to know how Singapore derived its huge reserves soon after he became President, he was ignored until just before he died. The perfunctory figures did not amount to anything in depth.

The screaming headlines splashed all over the World’s media today are about the coup-de-tat in our friends’ Thailand.
This is not even the concluding chapter of a tug-of-war between two factions but it could be the opening of another poliitcal scenario to come.
It is sad to note the temporary absence of democracy as we know of it in Thailand. The land of smailes with a dynamic and hard-working population in a large country is now brought to its knees by outside interference in its domestic politics. eg. the purchase of Prime Minister’s business by the Government owned Temasek Holdings of Singapore in the early 21st century. A moment of weakness to accept US 1.3 Billions was all it takes to get the ball rolling to ignite political turmoil without and end. With so many United States dollars to fuel the furnace of discontent, such fires would be difficult to put out.
In the early 1980s, an UMNO veteran told me that RM 20 Millions could create havoc for the Government. This was 35 years ago. We need hundreds of millions of ringgits to do the job these days. The Opposition is not telling.
What I do not understand is why the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore, was so fond on keeping such a close association with his immediate nieighbours ?
With a country in turmoil, at best only hot money would fly to the city State on a standby basis. But the real substantive and traditional forms of trade must surely drop due to dislocation of resources. And if the turmoil carries on for a long period like this Thaksin caper which has stretched to more than 10 years already, Thailand-Singapore trade and services must surely take a knock.
With the political protege of Singapore in limbo, there is no political leverage either. All in all, I could not believe that such a serious and influential move by Temasek to buy out was not seriously thought out. The results from this didactic investment by Temasek have now seen to backfire unless more insidious options were considered and not apparent to the outsider or obaserver. There were so many variables which must be considered.
To place the position of our beloved Malaysia vis-a-vis Singapore’s determination to wrestle control and influence in neighbouring countries ( if given half a chance ) presumably to her advantage at great cost, we Malaysians should be thankful that a brazen attempt was only made after 2003.
But before this, it was only a tycoon play at best and at this level till after 2003 when PAP cadres parachuted into Kuala Lumpur to look for low hanging fruits, the doors of Khazanah were wide opened and its contents were analysed by specialised outfits set-up to cull what was best for this Singaporeans take-away and UMNO loyalists were eased from the top jobs in the New Straits Times by PAP loyalists. However, it was a comical moment.
All these goodies for PAP cadres were to have been topped off by the poisoned chalice TPPA if Malaysia signs.
Though the political play is quite different in Malaysia as compared with Thailand for the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore, it takes only a tiny spark to blow up into a huge fire. But fortunately, our Government is wise to these tricks of old to de-stabilise the peace and harmony in Malaysia.
And the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is weak. Its leadership is dull, colourless and obstinate. However, for the very first time in our Malaysian Politics and Democracy. we observe an aging leader deploys a muse to help him with his creative political work. Seeing is believing.
And the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew, what is his view of the World now nearest and around him ? Your guess is as good as mine when a political battlefield is in a stalemate with no substantial issues to break the ice to create movement. And his policies or what we make of it are in tatters or in ruins as their failures become obvious to all and sundry.
Wth a beautiful hindsight, it would have been far better for the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore to have taken the alternative route of normalcy or normality because time will tell that political genes are not transferable just like in the World of Business.
Man proposes. God disposes.

The Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP does seem to make a mockery of the Malaysian Parliamentary system by packing it with swallows, ducks, tycoons etc. This party has already spent over 48 years in the Opposition and still employs old tactics in keeping with its avowed slogan, ‘Malaysia for Malaysians’.
I remember in 1957, the PAP cadres also employed swallows, ducks, tycoons etc to fight the Kesatuan Melayu UK in the Malaya Hall London elections. They lost. The one or two adherents seduced by them returned home and played only a minor role in domestic politics and then faded away.
I have observed the Chinese media in their smugness and snideness have always kept to the middle ground but drew deep on the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore and were in deep trouble when sometimes when events went beyond their control . Strange, he was the very person who knocked the stuffing out of the vernacular school system and Nantah in Singapore.
The Star without anyone’s permission quietly sneaked down to Singapore to do business with the PAP’s very own media holdings company. With such a highly charged poliicisation of Causeway politics, I do not think it advisable for the Star to fraternize with their enemies outside the jurisdiction unless they have already become friends. What money could be made out of a small enterprise is a mystery to me ? So, it is all a pretense in Malaysia ?
As I menioned previously, one effect of all these is the dropping of the veteran Singaporean journalist, Seah Chiang Nee from writing his Saturday columns on life in Singapore. Maybe his writing was to independent for some.
A year has come and gone since the 13th General Elections in which the Chinese voted without reason with over 90% for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP. There was no provocation. There was no expected change of Government. And the 90% Chinese are now in a limbo without proper political representation and forseeable resolution of their plight. With this all out support for the DAP, bread and butter issues must be resolved by this party. But from all aspects of their recent actions, they seem to plunge headlong in doing the worst for the Chinese.
How the Chinese gave so much respect to foreign personalities at the expense of their own skins is also a mystery to me ? Some analysts have put their finger on the young who are impatient for everything. As the younger Chinese are now DE-TRIBALISED AND HOLLOW, those who want to reach out to them will find it difficult to do so. In the days of the 1960s, many roughnecks could be seen mingling with the demonstrating crowds. But now, fresh faced, well-fed and well-dressed Cihinese who thumped the holy book at the slightest drop of the hat, are in the midst of the fray.
What has a party that preferred to be in the Opposition on behalf of its secret agenda has anything to offer ? The Chinese are stupid to back a horse which is actually a donkey. Its usefulness as a Singaporean Trojan Horse was a non-starter from the very beginning in 1966. The reason is that this Singaporean Trojan Horse was wrongly programmed and under the very tight rein of its awesome foreign master. The amateurs left to guide it were limited in their vision and action. Hence, the DAP actually thrived on the mistakes of others which are BN’s. It has its game plan thought out for them.
The master in June 2009 thought he had it made when he skipped into the hot and humid Ulus to exhort his troops, the minions, the digits, the cohorts, the spies, swallows, ducks, tycoons etc which are all part of the menagerie employed in his perceived assault to conquer and control our beloved Malaysia with his ultimate weapon, the poisoned chalice TPPA via Washington DC. It is reported more secret negotiations are being held in Singapore with the final push being made by Singapore and Washington DC. It is only proper that Singapore does so because the poisoned chalice TPPA was their vision and creation in 2006. It also pays to note that anything which is good for Singapore CANNOT BE GOOD FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. This little fact has been proven time and time again without a fault.
Again it pays to re-visit the New Straits Times Streets Central Supplement Page 8. March 8 2014 to see for ouselves in print and pictures how Singapore plays it out for real. This naturally lead us to the Wikileaks exposure on Singapore spying on her closest friends’ sexual peccadilloes which were passed on to Third Parties since 1972 – 42 years.
The problem with some people is that they think us folks in our beloved Malaysia have SOFT UNDERBELLIES !

How many of us noticed that my favourite Singaporean journalist Seah Chiang Nee who wrote the Saturday Columns on Singaporean events in the Star newspaper has been dropped for at least 3 weeks with no explanation forthcoming ? The Star newspaper as we are aware is chock-a-block with brand new Christians and die-hard DAPs. Apparently, the home truths on Singaporean activities from an independent point of view is too much to bear for some who prefer the compartmentalised nature of news from across the Causeway to present only palatable news on one single individual. This is the result of the Star doing business with the PAP controlled Singaporean media in Singapore !
Already, the Singapore which was made in the image of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore, is in tatters as regards its demographics. Some of its denizens have come out openly to expose the faults and weaknesses of his life-long Administration.
The Malaysian World in the image of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew has always been compared with his own image of himself. This is his failling. His failing in not recognising the very people he had to deal with throughout his long life – the Malays. He did not understand that a Malay is a Malay, a Chinese is a Chinese, and an Indian is an Indian.
His unheralded attempt to spy on the underbelly of elite Malaysia since 1972 (and his succinct observation of their life-style) underlines and destroys all that have been built up as goodwill between fraternities of Humankind. No one likes to be spied upon least of all their sexual peccadilloes.
Little did the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew realised when he embarked on this Great Game of the Super Powers that one day, his wanton act will be exposed by Wikileaks which also demonstrates the advances in modern technology as pursued by the United States.
Further, his willingness to pass on the sordid information on the sexual peccadilloes of full blooded Malaysians to others was a gesture to buy favours from these Super Powers that he and Singapore is great. But the recipient of such information would have kept their own counsel.
What a waste of time and money to spy on so many personalities who innocently traversed Singapore’s spy outfits ! The huge Ministry of Information was established with a full complement of staff and Penangites who still think they are British. With the Wikileaks exposure on the unsavoury activities by this Ministry of Information, whatever had been achieved is now of no value and the result is one big nought. Another Policy failure maybe added to the long list.
Spying is the oldest profession in the World. And the great temptation to spy on the prominent Malaysians was too good to be ignored. But little did the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew realised the Malaysians consider this form of activity as a normal life-style instead of doing a Johor Baru or Taipeh like the Singaporeans both unofficial and official. It is a small small World.
As a reward, former spies were made Presidents by squeaky clean Singapore.
There is a hill in Kuala Lumpur that prominent Singaporeans live with their Malaysian wives and families. There is a Singapore nursery school and a hospital nearby for them as well. This sort of cross-border fertilization activities is as old as the hills between Malaysia and Singapore. Maybe, the 2 Child Family Policy was just unbearable for some full-blooded Singaporeans.
The latest information on spying in good old Kuala Lumpur maybe discerned in the New Straits Times, ‘Street Central’ Supplement Page 8. March 9 2014. A picture with its description is worth a thousand words that KL has now become a World centre for espionage.
Finally, in the mid-Fifties, the KGB came to Kuala Lumpur to look for the Foreign Policy of Malaya, They could not find it and returned to Moscow. Later, the Soviet Ambassador congratulated our Tunku that he could hide the Policy so well. The redoubtable Tunku replied that ‘ We have no Foreign Policy ‘.
The quantum of money wasted by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew on spying from 1972 to 2014 on the sexual peccadilloes of his fun loving neighbours may never be known.

I could not believe my eyes when the Singaporean media reported in 1982 or thereabouts that a young tycoon who was the son of a Singaporean rough diamond tycoon made the rounds of the Singaporean schools by giving a lecture that ‘ It is good to be greedy.’ Young and fertile minds to sow the seeds of unscrupulous adults as the icons to follow in the helter-skelter of the Singapore world of dollars and cents ! The unbalance nature of the discourse put paid to any check or balance in a developing young person’s mind who would have become a greedy adult in no time at all.
I should know about the calibre of these tycoons whose Tsimshatsui hotel was a great disappointment to me. I booked a premier room and was given a mouldy and damp one. Maybe the Ministry of Education, Singapore, wanted the young to imbibe the worst characteristic of a person as the norm in World Class Singapore – to thrive in a ‘ devil takes the hindmost ‘ sort of milieu. A strange way of teaching young ones.
I once asked my Singaporean relatives why Singaporean business people always cheat or short-changed Malaysians in their business transactions. They all replied, ‘ It is easy for you to make money because Malaysia is corrupt.’ What a rationale to cheat with a clear conscience ! I was taken aback with this ‘ Two Wongs do not make a right.’ answer. That was in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Greed and cheating were promoted as paragons of virtue in squeaky clean Singapore ! But in terms of normal human behaviour, this is contretemps to the natural human being which is that we were all born to be good and not bad. A strange way of brainwashing ! At the end of the day which is now, those that could not keep up with the pace of money making left for more sedate pastures. Those who were left behind, were the ordinary folks who would have been happy with their lot if the conditons around them were not so stressful. All in all, the country is the ultimate loser brought about by wrong Government policy of governance. The whole exercise was not even a zero sum game when the power that were shot itself in the foot !
It was alleged that LKY made the remark that in business, it is alright to do business even with the Devil during the 1960s.
Just yesterday, my Singaporan multi-billionaire friend told me in no uncertain terms that LKY through his efforts built a Nation. As we can see 2 sides of a Singaporean coin which is heavier on the 1% side than the 99% other side. I smiled at my friend’s honest opinion with my realization that current events are crowding in on Singapore which is hapless to effect change under its own control.
1. The sudden implosion of the Communist World in 1989 which gave rise to Pax America’s spiel ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ With a beautiful hindsight, as we walk down the list, each and everyone of the 3 did not benefit America as much as these should. The BRIC benefitted the most since the 1990s.
2. Forced demographic and economic changes in Government Policy were against the grain of a holistic and traditional Singapore.
3. External changes like the coming of the Isthmus of Kra Canal and the fledgling North-West Passage will force Singapore to become a footnote of history like Palembang, Athens, Sparta etc. faster rather than later.
If Singapore had taken up the cudgel of constructing the Isthmus of Kra Canal at the turn of the 21st Century, and not bought up Thaksin’s business and did not behave like a dog in the manger attitude, we can imagine the huge benefits which not only accrue to Thailand and Malaysia but to Singapore, the perfect centre for logistics, human resources and finance. But all these for Singapore’s citizens have now gone under the bridge of no return.
It was the ideologue and think-tank of the PAP, Rajaratnam, who wrote a 2 part article on ‘ Sparta and Athens ‘ in the Singapore Business Times around 1982. In the article, he reviewed Sparta and Athens with his view of the future of Singapore embedded at appropriate places.
With the advances in the methods by which the business and financial fraternity now conduct their transactions, this is another factor which impinges on the sustainability and viablility of Singapore as a gateway either to ASEAN or Asia because the bi-polar World has now become a multi-polar World which the poisoned chalice TPPA was a cunning and insidious weapon to conquer and control our beloved Malaysia. If Singapore succeeds, it effectively controls through proxies a hinterland chokeful of human and natural resources, at least 6 – 10 times its size in terms of everything. SINGAPORE LIVES. MALAYSIA DIES.
The big question which faces LKY’s Singapore today is the growth which is connected with the GDP. The easy years of the Cold War when a GDP of 7% was a cinch and provided the fizz which in turn translated into arrogance and an air of superiority. And all these compounded with the natural resource which was based on the brain cells, ‘ BLUFFOLOGY ‘ which all added together gave a heady mix of INVINCIBILITY in keeping with all that was dished out by the Ministry of Information working full time with a full complement.
Unfortunately, such human ambition, endeavours and desires are time barred with an expiry date.
Man proposes. God disposes.
Tun
The name of the distinguished Dutch economist Dr Alfred Winsemius is seldom mentioned in the official annals of Singapore.
Dr Winsemius was engaged by the Singapore Government in 1961 to advise on the proposed transformation of a sleepy colonial entreport into a modern metropolis. He advised from 1961 to 1984 when he retired and was awarded 2 medals of which one was gold and a piece of parchment paper from the National University of Singapore. He would make two or three trips a year to Singapore to check out the implementation and results of his advice. This was the hard stuff concerning the setting up of the infra-structures and the like. The East Coast reclamation leading to the construction of the Changi Airport was one of his many significant proposals.
The development of the human resources was left to the Singapore Government led by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. That was the beginniing of the rise of Singapore as a modern metropollis in GDP terms. But by the end of the 20th century, the indigenous human resources of Singapore was in disarray having been roughened up by the wrong policies of the Singapore Government. The disgruntled citizens just folded their tents and left. By 2013, the percentage of indigenous Singaporean was only 62% and dropping down to 45% by 2030. The pressure cooker environment of Singapore as pursued by the Singapore Government was too stressful for some. With the void now evident in the scheme of things, the only short-term solution is to fill in the void with foreign multi-millionaires to bump up the GDP and manual workers to produce low-cost but high value goods. The aging indigenous Singaporeans could only view the broader picture from the comfort of their HDB places of rest and leisure below their abode.
By the 21st Century, Singapore has become a country subjected to manipuation of her human resources by the Government. And with human resources, it is advisable to refrain from short term planning but a proper thought out long term planning based on human values would have been sufficed. The best policy was not to meddle at all.
But strange to say, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew never considered the consequences of meddling with human feelings and values against the laws of nature and beliefs. He could only master the mathematics of crossing the t and dotting the i base entirely on money and its returns. This resulted not only in the development of the lopsided of wealth which lies with the 1% ellite but cast a pall over the hopes and aspirations of the 99% of the ordinary Singaporean. It was a cinch when Orchard Road was flooded with easy money during the hey-days of the Cold War which ended in 1989. The brand new post-Cold War spiel of Pax America, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ blew the stuffing out of the Singapore not envisaged by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. Events rolled over rapidly which became impossible to comprehend or correct. Those fat years of the Cold War will never return again.
Hence, the real dilemma of today’s Singapore is how to sustain and continue to be viable in keeping with high riding policies ? The answer would have been that the Malaysian Government signs the death warrant meekly for our beloved Malaysia, the Malays with their herittage and legacies, the Chinese, the Indians and all. This would be the perfect answer. Malaysia dies. Singapore lives !
But unfortunately, today’s Malaysia is not the Malaysia of 1962. The better minds in Malaysia would spurn at such a brash and arrogant and cunning attempt to conquer and control Malaysia. Here lies the rub fo an uncertain future for Singapore with all its glittering towers and foreign multimillionaires and manual workers.
This dillemma is indeed food for thought of how to resolve a human mistake of titanic proportions –
THE HOLLOWING OUT OF A COUNTRY APPARENTLY WITH GOOD INTENTIONS BY THE ADOPTION OF WRONG POLICIES !
Tun
It is more than appropriate to consider the failure of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew in his lifetime provided the evil TPPA which was inspired and created by Singapore in 2006 to save themselves and their legacy, is not signed by our Government. Then, we may take note that the obsession and the will of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew failed despite of all the levers of power to do our beloved Malaysia in were at his command. And best of all to him was these gullible Malaysians especially the Chinese who suck up to him. Stupid. These people, the brainwashed people are so doped that they cannot see anything but good from the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew.
Hence, this sort of human behaviour calls for a study on why and how the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew failed in his quest for the Holy Grail for the people of Singapore whom he screwed up big-time in his life-time. Money ruled supreme. No one had ever heard of the word compassion. It was all dollars and cents, not dollars and sense.
His main fault lies with his character. His constant life-long desire to ride the high-horse without consideration to the feelings of his closest aides put paid to getting good advice from anyone. His battery which was charged long ago in 1947 at the University of Cambridge was never re-charged and was based entirely on one basic – the best academic qualification from the very best university. Unfortunately, the World was created by Allah and not by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew. In other words, he conned himself to this very day. And those who believe and followed him paid the price of his cardinal mistakes.
With such a formidable character concomitant with battened down emotions, the brillliant Lee Kuan Yew did not understand the courteous and politie Malays one wee bit. All the sound and fury only made the Malays sit-up and strengthened their backs. He will never understand the Malays. Hence, his failure to conquer and control our beloved Malaysia in his life-time. This is essential to the viability and sustainability of Singapore which has nothing except for their aging brain cells which have failed to come up with credible answers. They could for a time utilised their one and only natural resource which was BLUFFOLOGY. But this resource was used up to no avail when non-Singaporeans began to ask questions.
With the failure of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which was founded by him in 1966 and had the perfect record of being in the Opposition for 48 years, possibly a World class record, the very few Malay political mavericks which popped up did not really suit his purpose. The reason is he did not understand that a Malay is a Malay, a Chinese is a Chinese. Hence, his adoption of meritocracy in Singapore shut out many non-Chinese and Chinese as well. 99% of the population hate going to school and he smartly hoisted the 1% meritocratic elite to lord over the 99% who had no chance of shooting to the top even though they might have been just as intelligent as the 1% meritocratic elite. To sum up, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew used the wrong yardstick as a benchmark. But it is all too late even though in 2013, 2 Ministers announced that academic qualifications would not the only critierion for jobs or promotions but hidden talents as well. Kudos to the Singapore Government for correcting an injustice to its own people.
It was very surprising to me that the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese through the Chinese media had been taken up by a person, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew whom they really know little about. He took advantage of the compartmentalised nature of the dissemination of domestic political news on both sides of the Causeway. Malaysian kept their side of the bargain by not commenting on Singaporean politics since 1965 to 2014 whilst free play was given to the Singaporean media to acitvely comment on Malaysia’s politicians and their politics.
This media was also used to butter up the up and coming young Malay politicians with flattering comments.
The Singapore Business Times for decades was giving patronising and sanctimonous advice to the Malaysian Government how to conduct their affairs. THEN SUDDENLY IN JANUARY 2012, IT STOPPED.
Vide The New Straits Times. Street Central Page 8. March 8. 2014. A picture and a word is worth more than a thousand words !
In June, 2009, the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies for Singapore made his ill-advised Grand Tour of the Ulus to exhort his minions, digits, cohorts, spies (vide NSTP Street Central supplement Page 8. March 8.2014), tycoons, proxies etc. at the age of 85. This puzzled me until the poisoned chalice TPPA popped up after FOUR LONG YEARS IN SECRECY. No wonder. The brilliant Lee Kuan Yew had the President Obama approved TPPA in his pocket after the crash of October 2008 when any straw was a good straw to grasp at ! And it is the final straw for the survival of Singapore ! Hence, the Grand Tour was not for fun and games but for real !
Suddenly, the news broke that the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew was exposed by the Wikileaks in 2013 that Singapore had been spying on the sexual peccadilloes of its good friends the full-blooded Malaysians. There was no denial, there was no confirmation even though the sneakiness of a sovereign state was stripped naked !
With the transparency of the Web and what it entails, and the collating of the above-mentioned facts from INDEPENDENT SOURCES OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF MALAYSIA, to show the real inention and purpose of what can be done to our happy and friendly beloved Malaysia, I hope all those who had been brainwashed by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 17 failed Policies would now see the TRUTH.
Tun
You have re-kindled a timely topic of today. Little did LKY reallised that he was like an acrobat crossing the Grand Canyon by walking on a cable ever since Pax America proudly announced the ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’ spiel. These are anathema to the traditional trading activities of the isle of Singapore. LKY has a tendency to ride the high horse when he spoke especially to his own people who grinned and borne his remarks. Yes !. The years of easy fat garnered from the Cold War disappeared by the 21st Century especially when a sovereign country tried to do business in the World of the hoi-polloi. Our beloved Malaysia will soon come to the same conclusion.
The close relationship between the great United States and the isle of Singapore was forged through the furnace of the Cold War. And as it is said that was yesterday. Today is today ! A bi-polar world overnight in 1989 became multi-polar. The post-Cold War of the great United States hoping to benefit from the spoils of an imploded Communist Empire, did not take off but only to benefit the BRIC, Brazil, Russia, India, China.
By the turn of the 21st century, the isle of Singapore was holding the empty can and had to resort to 2 casinos and the much hated TPPA which was inspired and created by them in 2006 to conquer and control THE SOLID HUMAN AND NATURAL RESOURCES OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA with the active connivance of the gullible natives. It was a cinch with the Pulau Batu Putih. With the TPPA, we die, they live ! BLUFFOLOGY OF THE COLD WAR KIND WOULD NOT WORK ANYMORE after being beset with a pallid GDP of 5% and 100,000 souls unemployed. The measures which are now being undertaken are of a temporary kind and unsustainable. Here lies the rub. Here lies the importance of the poisoned chalice TPPA to Singapore !
Some poignant pundits have already commented that the great United States had already ditched the isle of Singapore which is now out-moded by the rise of the Isthmus of Kra Canal and the North-West Passage which will take away substantial volume of trade from Singapore. The writing is on the wall !
With a sense of deja vu, if only Singapore had gone for the construction of the Isthmus of Kra Canal and not for Thaksin’s business, there would have been a big fall out of benefits for Singapore and her people. But unfortunately, the power that was took the wrong route of no return which downgraded herself and PREPARED THE RISE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS A STRATEGIC GEO-POLITICAL NATION – most important to the Superpowers of the World. We should learn from the mistakes of others not to be haughty and arrogant and end up like humpty-dumpty !
Whether we like it or not, our beloved Malaysia has now been propped up into the World’s spotlights. Because of this, our Government and its leadership and ourselves should always behave and act NORMALLY AS PER WORLD NORMAL STANDARDS.
Tun
It is timely that you bring out this LKY topic to refresh our memory and take cognizant of the present events. In politics, it is like a fast flowing river in which events change with twists and turns unexpectedly to the surprise or consternation of all.
The thing about you, Tun, is that you have been steadfast in your comments and beliefs which I found quite easy to follow and based on ‘SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM’ which no one has been able to quantify until now, in the heat of cyberbattle. HENCE, I AM YOUR SUPPORTER.
The interesting news this morning is the re-affirmation of the great United States and the isle of Singapore that they are the closest of friends. The significant observation is that this was done SO SOON AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA’s visit. I am certain that our Indonesian friends notice this too as well as China ! This smacks of haste and anxiety from the isle of Singapore that the supposedly close bonds between the great United States and the isle of Singapore are becoming loosen and maybe forgotten. This maybe true given the nature of American politics and its charactersitics. Is the isle of Singapore in limbo with the great United States after BEING BYPASSED BY PRESIDENT OBAMA ? And that the strategic Asian friends of the great United States are now as follows 1. Japan. 2. South Korea. 3. Taiwan. 4 The Philippines. 5. Indonesia 6. Malaysia. 7. Thailand. 8 Singapore – a sort of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs.
If we assume the importance of our beloved Malaysia has now become quite far up the list of strategic geo-political importance to Uncle Sam and the down-grading of the isle of Singapore as true due to its imminent change of political leadership in a place full of foreign (Chinese) multi-millionaires, then what pundits like myself have been mentioning all the time – willy-nilly has Malaysia has become A VERY IMPORTANT GEO-POLITICAL NATION BECAUSE OF ITS STRATEGIC GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION COUPLED WITH ITS HUMAN AND NATURAL RESOURCES. And in the process, our beloved Kuala Lumpur has become also a WORLD CENTRE FOR ESPIONAGE. Vide. New Straits Times ‘Street Central’ Supplement Page 8. March 8. 2014. – which shows a picture is worth a thousand words.
It is therefore imperative that WE MALAYSIANS STAND UNITED AND TALL TO FACE ALL DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN INTERLOPERS BY HAVING A NORMAL GOVERNMENT WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY NORMAL CITIZENS OF NORMAL WORLD STANDARDS.
I strongly belileve that we will prevail in the interests of our SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, SELF-ESTEEM. And also we would be friends to all.
May somebody told me what our Precious Tun meaning by
“21. Lee Kwan Yew and I saw the same things and know the reasons why.” ??
–>..Humble follower of this blog.
Thanks.
Tun,
saya amat kagum dengan cara orang2 Melayu di Malaysia ni bila dia-orang berdebat…fuh! cukup hebat! Lihat saja lah persidangan Umno… ucapan demi ucapan berapi-api!!
Tapi, kesian. Maaf cakap…orang Melayu Malaysia ni… bodoh sikit… sorry, wrong word…bodoh SANGAT!
Tak nampak ke mereka ni sekarang kena play-out? Tak lama lagi hilang lah hak mereka.
Yang dah pandai sangat tu dah dapat pergi ke Cambridge, Oxford dengan bantuan kerajaan…ada pangkat sikit.. akhirnya lupa daratan… sekarang dia orang kata tak perlu bantuan kerajaan pon boleh pergi ke London…dah tak perlu bantuan…kononnya boleh diri sama tinggi…
Tengoklah nanti bila dah hilang kuasa…dia bawak masok orang2 dia berpulohan ribu!!… say goodbye to your free education!!! anak2 melayu merempat kat negri sendiri…jadi delivery boys…cleaners…despatch riders…!
Sebelom terlambat….nasi jadi bubor… Bersatu lah… Bersatu lah…!!! wahai orang melayu… Umno-PAS… bersatu!! Apa nak takot dgn nik aziz tu..dia pon dah lama sangat kat politik … dah lapok ketinggalan zaman.
Jangan terpedaya dengan laungan meritokrasi singapore..itu semua pembohongan!
-Dari seberang tambak.
Satu keitka dahulu LKY ada mengumumkan di berita
yg kononnya Johor adalah tidak selamat,banyak perompak.
Menjadi kemarahan orang Johor dan Kerjaan kita.
Saya tak nafikan Johor ada pencuri,perompak.
Tapi perompak jalanan,kecil kecilan.
Di Singapura tak wujud pencuri,atau perompak kecil,
SEBAB wujudnya Perompak dan Pencuri Besar
iaitu Kerajaan mereka sendiri,yg merompak hak rakyat mereka.
Goodday Tun,
Personally if you asked me this old man(LKY) has gone senile in this past few years.He should look at his own country first before he jugde at other people soil.What a hypocrite person LKY is?.
Now Playing : Type O Negative – Christian Women
Dear Tun,
Its time you fully retired and let LHL and NAJIB bring peace and prosperity to both countries; putting jealousy aside. Your time is already over.
Enjoy your golden days – if your son is good, he will one day also become PM. If LHL or NAJIB are not good or qualified PM, they will be booted out in ballot box.
Therefore, Tun, with all respect for peace, pleased maintain silence.
Tidak ada banyak perbezaan diantara negeri yg korupsi
atau negeri yg tak korapsi,seperti di Singapura.
Negara korapsi masuk banyak kocek,tapi kocek kecil,
Negara tak korapsi masuk satu kocek kantung besar,
entah kemana wang itu setelah.
Jadi jangan dibanggakan,system anda.Dan menghina system kami.
Nak Tanya sikit Tun
Adakah apabila Lee Hsein Loong yg menyandang tempat duduk
LKY sebagai Perdana Menteri Singapura,
LKY masih sebagai MM Minister juga
dipanggil Meritrocracy.
Seolah Singapura tidak wujud manusia yg lebih layak,
kecuali Lee Hsein Loong.LKY selalu mengalu alukan persoalan meritrocracy pada kita.Adakah LKY mempractikkan apa yg beliau tonjolkan.
Apa pandangan TUN.
Di Sini saya mengambil kesempatan untuk mengucapkan takziah kepada Lee Kuan Yew di atas kematian isteri nya tercinta kira-kira 2 hari yang lalu..Dan semuga suami nya mengiringi nya secepat nya. (Coming soon)
Politics is dirty. There are few leaders who really stand out for standing up. But the real world, this is not true. A government has to make decisions for the prosperity of the nation. You cannot please everyone. LKY has made decisions that were right and wrong. You also have made decisions that were right and wrong. Mr Bush made decisions that were wrong and wrong. But, we move on. Only God knows the truth in each of us as everyone lives for selfish reasons. The Muslim countries should be ashamed for not standing up for each other. But, like I say, politics is dirty. Its just selfish reasons and taking care of themselves.
Tujuan LKY selalu meyentuh perbizaan Singapore,Malaysia
soal meritrocracy,lebih bertujuan melemahkah,memecahkan UMNO,
supaya DAP sekutu PAP,lebih kukuh.Bukan bertujuan membina jiran tertangga.
LKY lebih dikenali kawan baik beliau sebagai hati busuk,yg sering mempergunakan,memperalatkan sehingga Presiden mereka sendiri tak punya kuasa,hanya satu tayangan.
Bukti lawatan beliau ke Kelantan,dan Penang bertemu pembangkang UMNO
bukti tujuan beliau mengembelingkan UMNO.
Adakah beliau rela dan ikhlas sekiranya pemimipin kita,Tun atau Najib menziarah pembangkang PAP,seperti Encik Chee Soo Juan,atau mendiang anak J.B Jeyaratnam.PASTI dengan buah LKY pun berpeluh.
Saya berharap TUN Najib tarik balik penyerahan tanah KTM.
Menagapa Singpura masih berkeras nak ambil Tanah KTM, berserta tukaran lain,pasti ada muslihatnya.
Apakah tidak terfikir JIKA Malaysia buat pembangunan tempat tawaran di Marina atau sebagainya,dalam masa yg sama Malaysia perlu membayar cukai tahunan,gst dan sebagainya.
ADAKAH MALAYSIA TAK MAMPU MENJAGA TANAH SENDIRI,
TAK MAMPU MENJAGA HAK KETURUNAN.
Kita tak bolih bangunkan Bangunan di KTM mengapa tidak sepanjang jalan kita adakan parking.Masuk juga hasil yg lumayan daripada tanam kelapa sawit.Atau rujuk perunding pada Singapura supaya Malaysia bolih bangunkan Bangunanan sendiri,rumah kampungke,di tanah sendiri.
Seketika waktu dulu, Lee Kuan Yew pernah berkata,’Panas nya semangat Melayu ibarat secawan kopi panas,hanya seketika dan akan sejuk secepat panasnya’. Sebab itu LKY sewenang wenang menganiaya mat Melayu Singapura dan di buat seperti sampah..tapi bertopengkan tertawa ria bila bersama kepala negeri Melayu. Sungguh memalukan bagi Bangsa Melayu yang hanya banyak cakap dan banyak tulis saje. Ibarat menyiram air di daun keladi.
Tanah Melayu Sabah Serawak were and are rich resource area
with relatively low density population compare to China,India…
Now people measures wealth interm of money value but wealth
is actuall resources :land,water,light=plants thats provide foods and other materials.With technology coal,oil,tin become resources.
So abundance in space and resource the Malay and other Bumiputra
did not concern about emigrants…they treat them as guest
So early emigrant came with open arm for the Malay: Arab traders,Hang Lipo and the gang as example. They even welcome Portuguese as well but advice by Arab that what Portuguese di in Goa change the Malay ruler mind….They learn about Colonialism at the infancy. Later glaring reality Dutch,British and more intensive violent the Japanese.
PKM if not curtail probably Malaysia become colony of China.
Malay is too good a race dont mind the sharing of resources but dont kacau the Ruler (i.e politic and sovergnity)
The guest after having sharing those resource want more….Lee Kwan You is thermometer of foreign emigrants even foreign worker alike now.
Since foreign workers are not given citizen ship like Tunku did
they cannot kacau legally >> demostration in Indonesia agaist Malaysia is miror image of PKM in the 40s and 50s LKY and DAP in the 60s . PKR in 00s
Bangla and Nepal probably do not show their fang yet….as there is no agitation leaders.
Kesian Melayu kebaikan dianggap sebagai kebodohan. Peribahasa berpesan Kera di hutan di susukan Anak di rumah mati kelaparan.
Walaupun 50 tahun nasi dah jadi bubur kita perlu resipi baru supaya bubur itu lebih baik dari nasi untuk selamanya.
mr kwan yew “kayu” is actually telling us what the immigrant chinese in malaysia wants to be…..so now i ask myself….if only i could go back in time and NOT award these immigrants the 1 million citizenship!!!
Dearest Tun.
May we discuss another neighbor instead?
1-For those who oppose any sort of affirmative action to help out the Malays should just look at Indonesia where the natives are so emotional they easily become cuckoos at the slightest provocation.Just see the stupid demonstrations held by these nothing better to do people over the maid abuse issues.With millions of them here the likelihood of some crazy employers to go out of bound will always be there.Are their maids and other countrymen here all angels?
2-There are even more abuse cases happening in the Middle East but that all they can tolerate but once it involve Malaysia-they are just to ready to ‘Ganyang’ our country.They should also fault the Indonesian authorities here in Malaysia,knowing very well that these Indonesian workers contribute significantly to their foreign exchange the Embassy should have monitored their people here closely.
3-The Indonesians must realize that Malaysia is the only employment market they can really depend upon.No one really care for them like we do.Have they already forgotten Acheh and the Tsunami?With their Muslim terrorist image and speaking only the Bahasa Indonesia do they think they can so easily seek employment anywhere else?
4-This year is their visit Indonesia year where do they think is one of their most important markets?Malaysia should be naturally one of them.Malaysians may not be so turned off by Muslim terrorist threat like the rest.And how do they appreciate us?Like shit.
5-And why are we Malaysians not cuckoos yet inspite of their consistently insulting us ?Why are we so matured and tolerant and have not struck back?Because of the NEP that’s why.The Malaysians are generally well off with a roof over their head and can have a job unless they are lazy and choosy.Without the affirmative action the malays would be just like their easily to be inflamed neighbors.
6-We have a lot to lose if we let our emotions take the better of us.That is why although economic crisis come and go..although the devils have attempted to pit us one against the other..pig at mosque,cow head at temple,bomb at church,etc,we still have the sensibility to preserve peace here in our beautiful Malaysia.
7-In Indonesia come the economic crisis every time and the natives will perform the amok 513.When they have become jobless and impoverished,seeing these filthy rich Chinese and their excessive wealth is just a crime too much to bear…so once instigated by the devil they immediately turn cuckoos!
8-The affirmative action will always be necessary.But it must be done in a different way now.To get out of the vicious cycle is not easy.The Chinese must be emphatic with the Malays.If the Chinese are having the same background as the Malays they will perform just the same.My Chinese friends who are anak polis like me and others who do not come from business families are just as hopeless in business as the Malays.
9- Most of the Chinese are brought up in that environment seeing their parents,grand dad,uncles all doing businesses so doing business when they grow up may come natural..while the Malays mostly having a Govt servant dad or uncles and mainly rural folks,padi planters/rubber tapper etc grand dads just what do we know about business?
10-Its easy just to say that the Malays are so manja this and that.When you are new even a positive mindset is something you only pick up from experience.Just like to remind the Chinese not be too arrogant with the advantage that God have blessed them.Appreciate that and God will give them more esp if they are kind and tolerating the help now being extended their not so advantaged countrymen.
11- The politicians should also not exploit the situation to overly enrich their families…so that people like ekompute and me won’t be so angry.
Thanks Tun.
everytime tun touches on a racial topic, i ask myself, are we opening a can of worms & try to straighten out what’s not for the past 53 years? the rate tun is going, its not going to straighten anything out afterall..
i’ve followed tun’s previous writtings. i think the message is straight “wahai saudara saudari melayu, bangunlah, bangunlah dan undilah UMNO” after all, those chinese & indians are gone case, they will hardly vote for BN.
Let’s bank on the malays to “unite” under UMNO. After all, Malaysia was born with 80% malay majority. BN could also achieve that if UMNO has all the malay votes. Nevermind MCA or MIC.
tun has does have your way of delivering the message “Malays should unite & vote for UMNO”. For me, i could have made much it simpler as i did on the last sentence.
my 2 cents.
Dunia Negara Melayu,Malaysia,Indonesia,Brunei,Singapura
Perlu memperbaiki diri,sebelum bertempuh dengan Dunia Luar
perlu juga mampu mempertahankan hak dan menjadi Tuan pada tanah air sendiri.
Persoalan mundurnya melayu,adalah persoalan pelajaran, iaitu ILMU.
Keluhan perniagan melayu yg sering gagal bukanlah disebabakan kurang modal,yg sering dikeluhkan.
Kurang ilmu,kurang bijak mengendalikan modal adalah punca kegagalan.
Wang modal berguni guni akan habis jika tak punya ilmu.
Jika punya ilmu modal sikit bolih jadi bukit.
JUSTERU ITU MELAYU PERLU ADA ILMU.
Di Indonesia,Melayu bodoh sombong tidak mahu belajar English
sebagai Ilmu Dunia.Indonesia hanya bijak berpidato tidak lebih pada itu.Persantren adalah Ilmu Akhirat.
DiMalaysia juga ada pembangkang belajar English sebagai Ilmu Asas segalanya.
Di Brunei masih khayal dengan kemewahan hasil minyak mereka yg akan berkurangan.
Di Singapura,walaupan mereka fasih dan pandai dek kerana system perlajaran English,di tindas dan tak berupaya bersaing.
Terimalah kenyataan bahawa Ilmu Pembangunan,Sains,Tecnology,Perubatan,Ketenteraan malah kebanyakan asal dari Ilmu Barat.Walau kita selalu aggongi ilmu sains,algebra
asal dari orang Islam dahulu kala,kenyataan sekarang Barat telah memiliki kesemuanya.
Kenyataan yg perlu kita terima,negara melayu/islam
dirahmati dengan hasil bumi yg mewah,sayang
oran melayu ada hasil tapi tak mampu menghasilkan.
Yg menghasilkan adalah orang Cina yg menentukan anak mereka berpelajaran hingga keluar negeri.
Jangan salahkan orang Cina kerana mereka memiliki apa yg kita fikir hak kita.Salahkan Kita yg tak berilmu.
Orang melayu seumpama lalang yg berdiri tinggi tapi sayang tak seperti padi yg tunduk tapi berisi.
Salam TUN,
LKY’s recent chauvinist outburst on his critical success factors for Spore’s racial intergration will not augger well in shaping his legacy.
He boasts about a vast arrays of implementations,which create a ‘level playing field’ within all races.Intentionally,he left out or shy away from the subject on Spore’s wealth distribution.
Predominally,the Singaporean Chinese are in business, a headstarts which they inherit or command before the word meritrocracy was coined.
More than 90% of Spore’s 40 richest by Forbes .Com are Chinese.
If we are allowed one word to describe’meritrocracy’ in Spore.
Meritrocracy = Chinese
During his tenure
Assalamualaikum,
Sila rujuk komen dari anak johor. People wouldn’t care unless they or their family experience the pain themselves. Banyakkan bersabar. InsyaAllah akan terbuka rezeki yang lebih besar di dalam negara sendiri. This should become a strong reminder for other Malaysian who plan to work there.
Salam Tun,

1963 Jumlah pengundi Cina mengatasi jumlah pengundi melayu dan bumiputra yang lain. Atas prinsip demokrasi sepatutnys Cina menguasai politik Malaysia di masa akan datang. Oleh yg demikian slogan Malaysian Malaysia diketengahkan bagi mengaburi orang Cina dan India Malaysia untuk menyokong PAP. LKY memang lebih rasis dari Tun. Biasalah orang politik akan menuduh orang lain lebih teruk darinya untuk mengaburi sifat mereka yang sebenar. Begitu juga DSAI dan LKS mengatakan UMNO nepotism dan sebagainya. Hakikatnya anak beranak yang kontrol parti masing-masing. Melayu yg sokong mereka tak akan sedar kerana mereka mengidamkan janji-janji apabila berkuasa nanti….
I cannot help but laugh when i read one of the above comments made by one Collin Ng.
To quote a line written by him:
“While our MM Lee could have stepped down as PM, he remains effectively powerful in cabinet till present. You should know from him if you wish to remain vocal in the political scene in Malaysia and internationally.”
Effectively powerfull?.Still in the loop? Why? Because MM Lee IS Singapore.
Here are some pointers:
Lee Kuan Yew is currently Minister Mentor of Singapore, a cabinet position created specifically for him, announced in 2004 by Lee Hsien Loong; his son.
I tried googling the position of Minister Mentor for other countries, but alas, i found none, except of course for Singapore.
I particularly love this one quote by MM Lee himself, made during the 1988 National Day Rally, when he discussed the leadership transition to Goh Chok Tong in 1990.
“Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up”
This of course speaks volumes about the mindset of MM Lee, and gives out the appearance that the fate of Singapore is his, and his alone to dictate and that not even death can stop him.
From Prime Minister to Senior Minister. And from that to Minister Mentor. So what’s next for MM Lee? Seeing that death is irrelevant.
The Supreme Deity of The Republic?
As for Collin Ng’s suggestion that Tun learns something from MM Lee in remaining “effectively powerfull”, i say Tun has no need for that, being that Malaysia practices Democracy while Singapore..well…i’ll leave that to all of you to decide.
Salam TUN,
LKY recent display of chauvinism did not auggur well for his legacy.
He boasted over his critical success factors on race intergration,but shy away on the subject of fair wealth distribution within all races in Spore.
95% of Spore’s 40 richest by Forbe.com are Chinese.
The Spore Chinese are predominantly wealth due to their inclination towards private businesses,and the headstarts they inherit or command.There is no ‘level playing field’ as perceived.
Meritrocracy is a myths being coined to ‘turfed out’ the Singaporean Indians,Malays and other races from the economic pie,thus enriching only the Chinese.

dear Collin Ng
im quite confuse until now, why are u Chinese(more to Singaporean) too exaggerate anything from the U.S? don’t u see that u’re just their dog? barking to praise ur beloved master? hey, please study more detail la who run the media la my friend.. even in Malaysia.. u chinese always highlighted the money and your prosperity than the sincerity for finding knowledge and towards divinity.. u’re only their puppet la.. lame one… they don’t even care about u.. laughing and make funny about u guys(chinese) in their propaganda medium called Hollywood la… hahaha i remember, people around me often said ‘see the chinese student, they are intelligent, see chinese people, they are relly civilize or whatever’.. but i realize now, u are nothing than a dog mastered by a humanize system and money.. and i never wanted to be a dog even most of my colleague(malay) intend to do so..

What is success.
LKY is still a poor man.
At his age he still dreams of craving more wealth,more money,
meaning he is still not rich,the reason for his not retire not even when his son had his seats.Wow He is still in fear.
Could his son betray him
or other bully his son.
Always likes to critise Malaysia.
Yaya like papaya ,Nana like banana.
One has to understand,most successful malay muslims
when they reach mostly 40,s,they tends to go to religion
putting asides most of their material needs.
More to family caring than wealth caring.
Chinese at age of 60,70s still craving for more wealth.
Family disputes about wealth,engage lawyer,let,s fight in Court.
Can I bring my wealth along,when I can,t even carry myself upon death.I need someone to bury me.Can I bring my wealth when my child worship wealth more than respecting me.
The KAFIR
Does my children prays for my death soon,
so they can inherit my wealth.
Will my children divides my wealth
OR
My wealth divides my children
The MUSLIMS
Does my children prays for my health,asking Allah
(ya ALLAH, panjangkan umur orang tuaku,ampunilah dosa mereka,
ringankan azab kubur,ringgankan seksa neraka,masukkanlah mereka ke syurga.) with tears
These are a very SCARY questions one ask onself,
when we are returning to like a baby.
IF Baby,eh so cute,so chubby
IF Olang Tua,
heh,pengotor,dah nak mampus agaknya.
THIS are scary remarks.IT hurts deep.
Compare what is success to you.
What wealth can do to you,if you believes wealth is success.
Chinese New Year Greetings
Happy New Year,and a Prosperous New Year.( more of wealth)
Islam/Muslims
Selamat Hari Raya,Maaf Zahir Batin.
We ask forgiveness among each,We don,t ask for wealth.
These are our differences,one has to understand,which makes our difference
How bad he critized Malaysia,
which he put up directly more to the malay,
how poor we are,how not develop we are
Malaysians did not die of hunger.
(Matinya kita masih seumpama merpati mati atas padi)
Dear victormc,
I sincerely doubt Tun is jealous. I truly believe he is far from such, seeing how much health & strong memory he is blessed with. You may have translated the picture a little too far and it is time to snap to back to earth.
Tun enjoys his retirement doing what he does best and like what Tun mention in his PM days is that he does not want to create a title to keep himself in the political world. Till today, despite doing at his own will, he is able to win the hearts of many individuals, excluding yours of course.
If you have forgotten, Tun did apologise the nation for making a less accurate selection on his successor and plus, I look up to him that he did not appoint any of his sons to take over his position.
45 years ago, LKY had to fix poverty problem based on a population of a couple of million citizens. That is one-third of the problem in Malaysia. Did you mention “big numbers”?
I am sure you did.
Forget about your retirement talks to Tun. It is time you sit back, take a chill pill and A.N.A.L.Y.S.E
Singapore’s education is world class isn’t it? I am sure you are not educated for nothing but your spelling error (“unniquely?”) and grammar (“unniquely singaporean”) is truly a disgrace to the nation.
Enjoy decoding!
It is very sad that a lot of people agreed with LKY and supported the statements he made. All that he mentioned in the press are merely theories & methodologies proposed with no proven track records, using Singapore as a prime example that Malaysia is not up to mark.
It is natural for us to always feel that the grass is greener on the other side.
1. All the LKY said about the malays being english-educated is true. However, the Malaysians are english educated too. A subject in curriculum made compulsory. It does not have to be a first language to make us first class people.
2. I am a Singaporean Malay, born and bred in Singapore. I fought with my cohort to get into the university and failed. I fought with the working people to do my masters in the local uni and failed. I am still fighting to climb up the corporate ladder and still struggling. I have to be 300% better than the majority before we can be graded on par in the corporate system. Suddenly, a London degree is not as good as National University of Singapore when the whole world knows that London School of Economics is one of the top universities in the world.
3. How many Muslim women today in the working world wears the hijab to work today? My answer? MANY. Many do. But what people fail to realise that most of them are teachers, administrators or blue-collared workers. What career prospects for the Malay women is LKY trying to highlight? Or is he simply highlighting employment vs unemployment?
Hijab wearer politician in Singapore? Only ONE.
When Ramadhan begun, no one was aware that it was the fasting month and did not know that it lasted a month!
Racial harmony he called it?
Put aside foreign talent (those from China and Philippines or even India). Jobs openings are many in Singapore and are advertised to make favourable to the Chinese (mandarin speaking only; must be able to converse mandarin) I thought our citizens are English educated? Why is there a need for Mandarin to be mandatory? So many reasons will be provided eg. dealing with Chinese clients overseas. But then again do all of us deal with only China-nese? They come to Singapore to look for better living.
In short, it is like opening up an IT tender bid to IBM, HP, Microsoft, DELL, ACER, Apple and drawing the requirements specifications close to Apple’s capability.
4. How many malays are in the Army and Police force compared to those in the Air Force? If this is seen as a tactical war move, then why is there perspective today that Air Force is for the elites? Sadly, they are made up of the majority.
5. I recently purchased a house and was surprised how easy it was to apply. Reason? Because my family is a minority. An advantage you think but Geylang is known to be flooded with Malays and Bishan is known to be flooded with Chinese.
Another example of racial harmony?
6. A lot of campaigns designed in Singapore is meant for the majority. Speak English campaign. Be Courteous campaign. Wash your hands before you leave the toilet. Please flush campaign. Keep the toilet clean. It just shows what barbaric acts they can be up to that the government needs to educate in masses.
Speak Mandarin. The last time they had a Bahasa Melayu campaign was eons ago. (ok I am exaggerating.. but say 15yrs ago?) Today Mandarin is seen as an active 2nd Language. Bahasa Melayu papers are made tougher and Chinese exam papers are made simpler in the education system today because they know the Malays have an advantage of performing in exams due to their Mother Tongue and so deemed as unfair competition.
Why the need when gone were the days, even Indians & Chinese in Singapore communicated to each other in Malay.
Worse, when I travel to Europe and tell them that I am from Singapore, they thought it is a city in China. How disgraceful!
7. Our muslim government bodies in Singapore preachings and acts of Islam are also governed by the Singapore government who probably has little idea of Islam in religion as they are the majority. For example, in the recent years, citizens are advised to zakat our CPF(equivalent to Malaysia’s EPF)? Zakat CPF? but why? it is not our option to put aside the 20% of our monthly salary and freeze the 5% which is seen as a retirement fund.
I am still trying to understand his regret for not ‘keeping the two nations together’. A suddent regret after 45 years? Thinking aloud, I think he is concern his successor (of which now Singapore is seen to be practising nepotism) is not a “tough leader” as he is.
Does LKY think that Singapore is not polarised?
Tun, I appreciate your gracefulness to excuse him from having amnesia but do excuse him from his failing sight as well. Age is truly catching up!
My utmost respect to you since I was much younger till today especially the fact that you have never fail to keep my spirits up with your principles!
Keep going Tun! You are the (unofficial) mentor to our asian races today – regardless Singapore or Malaysia. It is just up to the individuals to take it with a pinch of salt and do something for themselves.
If we are to allow PAP Govt to interfere with our affairs
through their CNA activiy,LKY interferance with DAP,
you will see later they will topple the Sultan Existance.
As what happen to Singapore Sultan heritage.
No more Sultan,no more Malay School,no Madrasah which they try to abolish.
Many more Schools bearing Chinese names as seen now,Estates by Chinese name,Mosques relocated and being minimised,temples still intact and even upgraded and expand.
Tun Sri Lanang,Sang Nila Utama,Kaki Bukit,etc School in Singapore has all been gone.
Clear evidance of their said meritrocrcy
Tun,
Saya dengar rasa rendah hati minta Tun jawab segala apa yang utarakan supaya rakyat Malaysia akan tahu samada apa yang saya kata betul atau tidak. Semalam Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin katakan bahawa ” The contribution of the chinese people towards the country’s development economic growth are greatly valued ” dan ” He said the work ethics of the chinese should be emulated by anyone ho wished to succeed “.
Apa lagi melayu nak katakan lagi, orang Cina tak sumbang apa-apa kepada negara Malaysia sehingga apa yang melayu nikmati sekarang adalah hasil dari percukaian yang dibayar orang yang dianggap pendatang. Orang Melayu terpaksa bergantong kepada kaum pendatang untuk hidup mewah, kalau tidak mereka sekarang masih lagi bertani di kampong.
Kalau melayu betul-betul kuat, cabar kerajaan supaya cuma gunakan hasil kutipan cukai dari orang melayu sahaja untuk memenuhi 100 % hak-hak istiwemah melayu. Manakala hasil kutipan dari kaum bukan bumiputra khas untuk pembanguaan kaum tersubut. Kaum bukan bumiputra tidak mahu sentuh sesen pun hasil kutipan cukai dari anda semua, lagi pun melayu sepatutnya tak boleh guna atau sentuh hasil yang dikutip dari kaum bukan bumiputra kerana duitnya adalah haram dan tak bersih.
Saya nak tanya kenapa bila ambil duit dari kaum bukan bumiputra tak anggap haram tetapi bila memasuki Masjid yang dijemput secara hormat dianggap haram dan kotor, mana pergi kewarasan melayu ?????
Betul kata YAB Tok Guru Dato Nik Aziz(Menteri Besar Kelantan) bahawa masjid di negeri Kelantan ada juga yang dibina oleh orang cina dan mereka juga tampil memberi sumbangan, kenapa diterima dan tidak ditolak ???? Saya masih ingat lagi ketika Tan Sri Sanusi Junid jadi Menteri Besar Kedah, beliau mengarahkan supaya semua murid di seluruh negeri kedah buat kutipan amal. Apa yang saya nak tegaskan di sini ialah hasil dari kutipan itu ialah untuk bina masjid, anak-anak Cina dan India disuruh kutip derma untuk melayu bina masjid. Tidak ker itu memalukan melayu, satu tangan kata duit mereka adalah haram dan tak bersih tetapi satu lagi tangan senyap-senyap ambil.
Sampai sekarang adalah melayu yang masih tak ada otak yang memanggil orang bukan melayu balik ke negara masing-masing kalau tidak pandai berbahasa melayu, melayu lah yang sepatutnya kena kutuk. Sudah 53 tahun merdeka dan duduk bersama-sama dengan kaum bukan melayu tetapi sepatah bahasa cina pun tak erti nak sebut. Malu sungguh, kalau saya melayu saya akan rasa ” MALU BESAR “.
Hari ini saya dapati ramai juga melayu yang hantar anak-anak mereka berlajar di ” Sekolah Rendah Jenis kebangsaan Cina ” di seluruh Malaysia, saya berkesempatan bertanya kepada mereka kenapa mereka berbuat demikian. Jawapanya, Negara Cina sedang menuju ke sebuah Negara Economi Dunia jadi peluangnya amat luas. Melayu pandai ini mahukan anak-anak mereka boleh menulis dan bertutur dalam bahasa Mandarin supaya apabila masanya tiba, peluang terbuka untuk anak-anak mereka menceburi dalam bidang perniagaan di sana. Inilah melayu yang saya cari, bukan melayu yang tak ada otak jerit sana jerit ini macam Ibarahim Ali. Apa Ibrahim Ali boleh buat untuk melayu ???? Minta dia tunjukkan apa perancangan beliau bagi 10 tahun akan datang untuk melayu, saya boleh katakan jawapanya adalah kosong ( 0 %).
Beliau tahu melayu tak pandai senang diperkudakan, pasal itu lah beliau berani. kalau orang Cina yang buat maka soalan pertama kaum Cina akan minta dari ketua mereka ialah apa yang beliau boleh buat dalam tempoh tertentu, kalau tidak lebih baik jangan buka mulut kerana memalukan kaum Cina sahaja. Kaum Cina tak ada masa menyokong mereka yang hanya pandai cakap kosong sahaja.
Tolong jawap saya TUN,
Terima Kasih.
SALAM TUN
LET US PUT THE BLAME TO THE MALAYS
1) MALAYS IS WEAK AND MENTALLY NOT STRONG TO COMPETE, WHAT THEY LIKE TO DO IS TO HEAR ALL THE SENSATIONAL THINGS . THEY SUPPORT PKR BECAUSE OF ANUAR IBRAHIM.
