THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

1. Two things happened in the U.S. recently which are worthy of comment.

2. Firstly Obama’s candidate to replace Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, Susan Rice, announced her decision not to take up the post because of criticisms by the Republican Party over her comments and handling of the killing of the U.S Ambassador in Libya.

3. Although she claims she had done no wrong and Obama still wanted her to be Secretary of State, she decided not to accept the post. She felt that her appointment would damage Obama’s administration and the Democrats and she did not want this to happen even though she is innocent.

4. Perhaps there is a lesson here for Malaysian politicians of all hues. The love for the party and nation should be greater than love for oneself. One’s personal interest or ambition should not supersede loyalty to party and country. When the need arises, to sacrifice a little is far better than even to prove one’s innocence.

5. The second matter about the U.S that I would like to comment is the power of the lobby in America.

6. During my time Malaysia paid money to a lobbyist firm to lobby against the U.S negative propaganda about palm oil for food. We had to do it on the basis of doing in Rome what the Romans do.

7. We don’t have this lobby system in Malaysia. If we have I am quite sure we will be roundly condemned. But America is different. It can do just what it likes while taking the high ground to lecture to others.

8. Other than AIPAC (the Jewish lobby) the most powerful lobby in the U.S is the National Rifle Association. This lobby insists that it is a democratic right for citizens of America to carry arms, all kinds of arms, including assault rifles.

9. Every now and again we get reports of school children being massacred by gunmen. The latest one in Connecticut caused the death of 20 innocent school children and 10 adults. The Rifle Association will insist that this has nothing to do with peoples’ right to possess guns.

10. They say it is not the guns which resulted in these mass killings. It is the gunmen who have abused their rights. People must therefore continue to be allowed to carry guns.

11. When President Clinton proposed to ban possession of guns, he was roundly condemned by the NRA and threatened with losing their votes.

12. Apparently it has never occurred to the Americans that if you don’t have guns you will not be able to shoot and kill people.

13. In Malaysia it is an offence to carry any weapon. Certainly carrying guns is prohibited.

14. How many more children and adults in America must be shot to death by gunmen before America realises that carrying guns is dangerous. It may be legitimate for one’s defence when the Red Indian had to be killed so as to seize their land. The Red Indians (now called the First Nation) are no threat now.

15. It is about time the Americans rethink about the democratic rights of its citizens to carry guns.

  1. Assalammualaikum Tun , 🙂
    saya ingin bertanyakan sesuatu ,
    kalau ada “pihak” yang bersalah , adakah Tun akan duduk diam , atau mengambil tindakan walaupun berbahaya ?

    Though a lot Penangites and Chinese cursed TS Dr Koh Tsu Khoon, he is still a good President cum Minister of Gerakan, who is strongly back-up by PM Najib, who always has his heart opened to accept critics and know how to show Gerakan members transparent manner in supporting PM via his political know how and experiences.

    I am with you TS Dr Koh Tsu Koon because I have seen with my own eyes on how this Rukun Tetangga works efficiently today when PDRM has not enough kaki-tangan to solve domestic crimes.

    Most importantly, Malaysia PM does not want the world to perceive Malaysia as Police State.

    Lim Guan Eng wants to be PM like Singapore, just let him be.

    The Mandarin Revenge is for Lim Guan Eng to feel when he realized that votes are no longer the way to transform himself to the next level by downgrading Gerakan.

    It’s stupid and naive for young politicians to think that they can be friends tomorrow.

  3. Salam Tun.

    To ‘tok jangut’ (whoever or whatever you are),

    You said you have stayed in LA, and that I don’t understand your simple English. Now just look at your statement,
    “If you think the sentence I don’t think you really are that shallow is a ridicule, then you have just confirmed what I said about you previous, namely, you are a fool.”

    When I mentioned that “if you insist that Makhluk Halus’s statement ‘I DON’T THINK YOU REALLY ARE THAT SHALLOW’ is not correct”, it merely means YOU ARE SHALLOW!!!
    When I mentioned the word ridicule, it refers to your ridiculous reasonings to explain your shallow thinking!!!
    Got it??

    Tell you what mr. whoever/whatever,
    1. You are rude (kurang _jar) by twice referring to the blog owner without the Dr. and/or Tun preceding his name.
    2. You belittled the blog owner by crudely equating his “gun control statement” to the horrible “cutting off the male genatalia.”
    3. You don’t understand English in depth, and unashamedly declared your SHALLOW mentality to everyone!

    Konon2 nak “menegakkan benang basah”.

  4. To sudin

    If you think the sentence I don’t think you really are that shallow is a ridicule, then you have just confirmed what I said about you previous, namely, you are a fool.

  5. Salam Tun.

    To ‘tok jangut’,

    My advice to you, jangan jadi saperti “tikus membaiki labu” macam Joshua Lopez tu (refer to Tun’s entry “BERTAUBAT”)!
    It’s a Malay proverb. If you don’t understand the meaning, look it up under peribahasa untuk murid2 sekolah.

    I still treat you similarly like the words of ‘Makhluk Halus’, “I don’t think you really are that shallow.”
    However if you insist that the statement is not correct, you are welcomed.
    There are a few bloggers here giving comments and anticipating & ENJOYING being ridiculed by others!!

  6. To Makhluk Halus,

    What I am arguing is that although Mahathir’s argument of “no guns, no death” is, prima facie, logical, it is too sweeping. My counterpoint was show that it becomes absurb if we bring it to its logical conclusion. However, I did not expect the childish outburst from sudin. I just wanted to provoke some constuctive and mature discussions.

    The USA has a constitutional guarantee for its people to carry arms. There is some logic in this. USA is a vast country. There are houses whose nearest neighbours are at least 2 kilometres away. These are houses in the country (ulu places). If there is a forced entry in such a house, even by thieves without guns but just knives, the outcome will be fatal to the occupants of the house. We, Asians, are small in comparision to the Caucasians and Negroes. Even in a fist fight, they will be able to break every bone in your body. In such instances, the occupants of such homes (especially women), will just have to own guns to protect themselves. In such places, the police can only response after 2 days. Even in Los Angeles, which is metropolis, the police will only arrive after 3 hours. This is my personal experience. So when you stay for a spell in LA, a gun is also necessary.

    I think the gun issue is similar to the car issues. Cars kill but you cannot ban cars totally. Hence, as you can regulate the use of cars to reduce death, you can also regulate the use guns. Some of you may not know this, in Malaysia, you can own a gun if you hunt as a hobby. However, it is highly regulated. One of the requirements (at least in the past), is that the gun must be deposited back in the police station after the hunt. You cannot bring it home. You have to sign in and sign out. Such regulation are appaulable. It did prevent some mad men from running amok and killing innocents.

  7. Ha ha ha Tok Janggut nice logic you have there. Without manhood for every male in this world there could be no rape, but mankind will extinct unless you have found a correct formula for human cloning. Still, life will be dull and boring people might start killing each other for sports.

    Try to imagine that there is no guns or killing device at all was invented. And all that people have is a fistfight only. Is the world going to be a better place or dissastrous like your ‘no manhood no rape’ theory?

    I don’t think you really are that shallow. I guess you are merely angry at Tun only….

    I’m afraid that people today will think through their emotion and sentiments only. It will be dissatrous.

    Heck I beg to differ. I really prefer no guns rather than having my manhood cut-off.

  8. Salam Tun.

    To ‘tok jangut’ (January 17, 2013 at 10:28 AM),

    It’s very embarrassing for someone who does not understand his his own words!
    Are you pretending to be a Malay? The spelling of ‘janggut’ has double g.
    Nah! It does not matter.

    When Dr. M mentioned the proverb, “Better the devil you know than the angel you don’t”, Harun Din never understand the meaning!
    When Dr. M mentioned, “Apparently it has never occurred to the Americans that if you don’t have guns you will not be able to shoot and kill people”, it is HIS PERSONAL STATEMENT.
    When ‘tok jangut’ mentioned, “All men should cut off their manhood and there will be no rape”, he thought he has created a new proverb!!

    ‘tok jangut’ don’t seem to agree to his own statement!

    By the way, ‘tok jangut’ do tell us when you propose to “cut off your manhood” and which hospital. I’ll definitely find the time to visit you often.

    A new eunuch in the making!!

  10. To sudin
    It is obvious you do not understand English. Please read and re-read my post before making imbecile comments.

  11. Salam Tun.

    To ‘tok jangut’ (January 16, 2013 at 11:10 AM).
    Referring to your statement,

    “…All men should cut off their manhood and there will be no rape.”

    How about you show us the way, then we can go and visit you before deciding whether it’s a dumb thing to do or you are really dumb.
    Please keep your dumb idea to yourself!

    By the way, you sounded just like that glamour seeker ‘andytay’, showing no respect to titular protocols for the MBBS and/or service awards befitting our former PM.

  12. Sir Mubarak Chan,

    Do you know why American males like to use “mother fucker” when they are mad at someone all the time until today?

    Perkataan “mf” ini pun mahu potong to show that they are so ultra-sopan who wants to watch your TV movie programmes?

    Do you know what ultra meant?

    Ultra means senang jatuh dan tidak kukuh lah.

    Do you know why Chinese in Malaysia like to use “fuck your mother’s asshole” when they are mad at someone in the past?

    Do you know why Chinese in Malaysia like to use “fuck your grandma’s asshole” when they are mad at someone today?

    Read what tok jangut, a gentleman who respect women rights, January 16, 2013 at 11:10 AM wants to reflect here via his comment “12. Apparently it has never occurred to the Americans that if you don’t have guns you will not be able to shoot and kill people.” Interesting argument, Mahathir. All men should cut off their manhood and there will be no rape.

    This is for wajarperak, a phrase from Chou Chou in Romance of 3 Kingdoms for you to think hard before you “keluarkan perkataan yang mencacikan Agama Sultan Perak” by posting yourself as “Wajarperak, “Trust your generals if you want them to work for you”.

    B. Napoleon lost in cold war has showed that his armies were starved and freeze to death because of his greed to win war at all costs without taking into consideration of weather forecast.

    Hitler committed suicide because he was scared to face severe punishment when his troops disobeyed his command.

    Malaysian history is boring today for new Malaysians.

    Why?

    Because Dewan Bahasa is more interested to “jaga penulis novel yang hanya jaga tepi kain sendiri”.

  13. “12. Apparently it has never occurred to the Americans that if you don’t have guns you will not be able to shoot and kill people.”

    Interesting argument, Mahathir. All men should cut off their manhood and there will be no rape.

  14. A lesson here.. The love for the party and Nation should be greater than love for oneself
    “Kepentingan Negara mesti didahulukan daripada kepentingan peribadi”

  15. Tun,
    Cuma nak ulas sikit komen wmwi.

    Antara soalan dikemukakan oleh wmwi, :- Mengapa politician orang putih boleh menolak jawatan besar, sedangkan ahli politik kita sukar sekali melepaskan jawatan…. YB…. Menteri…. Ketua Bahagian, kalau boleh nak pegang sampai mati!

    Itu menunjukkan orang putih berjiwa besar (saya bukan peminat atau rakan mat salleh) dan mereka mengamalkan demokrasi yang tulen dan ada harga diri, accountability dan bertanggungjawab.

    Sebagai contoh, sedia melepaskan jawatan jika terlibat salah laku seks, immoral dan sebagainya walaupun pegangan agama mereka tidaklah sekuat rakyat dan pemimpin politik di negara ini.

    Di negara kita, ada pemimpin yang pandai membaca khutbah dan memakai ketayap di hadapan peminat yang mahu melihatnya sebagai alim dan pada sebelah malam memakai bow tie lengkap dengan suit putih berdansa dengan perempuan cantik pada waktu malam.

    Pemimpin ini juga mahu menunjukkan kepada peminatnya yang sebahagian lagi yang liberal bahawa dia juga adalah seorang yang liberal dan bukan ekstremis agama.

    Pemimpin ini boleh berkata begini: – “Siang saya tunjukkan saya sebagai seorang yang alim dan malam pula sebagai seorang yang liberal. Apa salahnya, kedua-dua peminat saya yang fanatik agama dan yang liberal akan meminati saya dan yang beruntung adalah saya kerana dapat mempermain-mainkan kedua-dua golongan tersebut.

    “Yang fanatik tidak akan percaya saya seorang yang liberal (juga syok bermacam-macam seperti mat salleh yang mungkin mat salleh pun kalah saya buatkan) manakala yang liberal pula juga akan suka kepada saya kerana bukan seorang yang ekstremis dalam agama.

    “Kaedah ini boleh saya guna terhadap pelbagai kaum di negara ini termasuk antara dunia Barat dan Timur.”

    Pemimpin begini kata mat salleh seperti sejenis cicak chamelon yang boleh bertukar warna dan mengadaptasi kawasan sekitarannya supaya sesuai dengan kawasan semula jadi.

    Berhubung soalan, “Mengapa ahli politik kita menjadi kaya selepas menyertai politik? Setahu saya orang putih kaya dulu sebelum menyertai politik!”. Itu saya tidak mahu komen, cuma saya nak ulas ada pemimpin kita lupa tanggungjawab mereka kepada rakyat selepas mereka kaya.

    Mengenai soalan “Mengapa semua orang mengatakan Bn/UMNO korup…adakah ini benar?”, Pada pendapat saya mungkin benar terdapat segelintir pemimpinnya tetapi apa kurangnya sebelah sana yang sudah ada tanda-tanda korup mula meresapi jiwa apabila sudah merasa nikmat berkuasa.Itu pun baru beberapa buah negeri belum lagi negara, silap-silap lebih teruk daripada UMNO/Bn dan negara terus lingkup.

    Soalan “Mengapa semua orang mengatakan BN/UMnO banyak menyalahgunakan kuasa… adakah ini benar?”. Pada pendapat saya, ada yang sudah berkuasa sikit pun sudah menunjukkan menyalahgunakan kuasa. Depa kata akhbar tertentu berat sebelah dan tidak terbuka tetapi pada masa yang sama mereka larang akbar tertentu daripada membuat liputan akhbar termasuk dalam Dewan Undangan Negeri apabila akhbar tidak menyebelahi mereka.

    Soalan “Mengapa anak-anak muda kini banyak yg membenci UMNO/BN?”. Saya tidak salahkan mereka tetapi mungkin kerana kurang ilmu dan kebolehan befikir, mereka lebih mudah mengikut emosi dan nafsu. Golongan ini kena berfikir panjang terutama saat genting sekarang kerana survival bangsa mereka kini seperti telur di atas tanduk. Jangan disebabkan emosi seperti kata pepatah Melayu, ” marahkan nyamuk, kelambu dibakar.

    Soalan terakhir: “Adakah ahli politik UMNO kini lebih pentingkan periuk nasi atau negara?”. Pada pendapat saya sudah ada perubahan dan kesedaran di kalangan mereka terhadap masyakarat dan negara tetapi jika mereka tidak juga sedar, masa akan menentukan nasib politik mereka sudah berubah. Era zaman Tunku sudah berakhir dan kalau tidak mahu berubah, rakyat akan mengubah mereka.

    Salam Tun.

  16. Pro pemilikan senjata api berkata kalau setiap orang ada senjata, orang yang mengamuk tak akan sempat bunuh ramai orang sebab orang lain yang berdekatan akan bunuh dia dulu.

    Kalau ikut lojik mereka, setiap negara di dunia perlu memiliki senjata nuklear untuk mengelakkan perperangan dari terjadi. Tapi kenyataannya, Iran yang membangunkan nuklear untuk tenaga pun dikenakan macam2 sekatan. Apa punya hipokrit gemuk la Amerika ni.

  17. News are spread to Chinese community that Proton has accumulated huge stocks and debts waiting to be bailout by taxpayers again.

    Why this happened?

    Because all these years, Tun Dr MM has monopolized the automobile industry for many years via dictatorship political power that made Malays unable to stand on their own after 30 years establishment of Proton.

    The management team is scared and pressured to produce good performance for Tun Dr MM to see in the name of patriotism assuming that Malaysians must buy Proton?

    But because Tun Dr MM is hired as Proton Adviser, Proton management hopes that he can lobby political support via change of senators to get funding to run their operation expenses?

    After 30 years, still cannot learn JIT (Just-in-Time) system?

  18. APA YG BERLAKU DI SEKITARAN KITA PERLU JADI IKHTIBAR, SATU PERLAJARAN

    PERLU TERIMA COMMENT YG MEMBINA

    SEJURUS UMNO DAPAT MEMBENDUNG UMNO SENDIRI

    PEMIMIPIN UMNO PERLU BIJAK MEMGHURAIKAN MASALAH DENGAN SEBIJAKNYA
    PERLU PANDAI MENYATUKAN KELUARGA UMNO

    SEMUA ADA MASALAH, MASING MASING
    MASALAH SEBENARNYA ADALAH CARA NAK MENGATASI MASALAH
    MASALAH MESTI DITASI DENGAN BERPERINGKAT
    MESTI TAHU MENGATURKAN PRIORITY

  20. Salam, tak perlu siar komen saya kerana ianya pendek dan sekadar nak menyokong pendapat Sabad007.
    Saya setuju 100% dan entah kenapa saya turut merasakan perkara yang sama. Harap jangan salah faham, saya tidak membenci Datin Sri Rosmah. Ketika zaman Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah pun pelbagai kerja amal dan sumbangan beliau lakukan dan di ketahui umum. Tapi seperti mana yang di maklumkan Sabad007, karakter yang sangat keibuan dan tak terlalu menonjol membuatkan saya secara peribadi berasa seronok. Kadang-kadang sindiran beliau ketika memberi komen pun agak bernas. (belajar dari suami kot. hehe)
    Berbeza dengan Datin Sri Rosmah…..tak perlu ulas panjang-panjang. Isinya sama dengan Sabad007
    Entahlah, mungkin saya yang silap dan harus berubah.

  21. Kong Hee Fa Cai (Gong Xi Fai Cai in Bahasa Cina) to Amin Tan though you are a devoted Muslim.

    May all your wishes are blessed for many years to come.

    I do not intend to sell my Islamic bond fund as Malaysian to show my loyalty to the King, country and Malaysians of all races no matter what happens in future.

    This fund is allocated from my EPF to transform our investment companies to the next healthy and better regulated level at par with international standard.

  22. Salam Tun,

    Tahniah saya ucapkan kepada HBT456 KERANA berani menyatakan yang benar walaupun diugut dan disindir. Syabas kepada HBT456 KERANA TIDAK MERAJUK DAN BERPALING TADAH, tetapi tetap menyokong kerajaan walau pun ditekan dengan kata2 perkauman.

    Inaha Allah Barisan Nasional akan menang besar pada PRU 13 DALAM MASA 2 BULAN LAGI dengan sokongan padu HBT456, TUNTUAH, Mubarakchan, SUDIN, Wajaperak, Tun Dr Mahathir, amin tan dan lain2

    “”My votes will go to Najib and BN even if Nik, Anwar, Hadi and Guan Eng can gather large crowds mainly from Malays, Sabah and Sarawak.””

    Saya mengucapkan Kong Hee Fa Chai kepada HBT 456

    amin tan

  23. What is 8 sisters meant, tuntuah?

    Can you define the 8 sisters here?

    Bagai tikus membaiki labu is defined as hendak membetulkan barang yang tiada diketahui, akhirnya semakin rosak.

    Are you the tikus here, tuntuah?

    Malaysia cannot relies on Petronas oil only to run the economy.

    Whoever becomes the PM, he will have the power to appoint the top management for Petronas.

    Usah takut tuntuah, aku ni bukan bodoh dan malas.

    Malaysia tetap negaraku.

    No one want the country to be destroyed.

    My votes will go to Najib and BN even if Nik, Anwar, Hadi and Guan Eng can gather large crowds mainly from Malays, Sabah and Sarawak.

  24. HBT.

    IF petronas been heavily influence by politician, Petronas will be never been the eight sisters.

    Because of good governance, petronas has became the eight sisters in a short period.
    So please hands off petronas. The people like you yang rosakkan petronas. Because u r the tikus yang cuba membaiki labu.

  25. Mengapa politician orang putih boleh menolak jawatan besar, sedangkan ahli politik kita sukar sekali melepaskan jawatan…. YB…. Menteri…. Ketua Bahagian, kalau boleh nak pegang sampai mati!

    Mengapa ahli politik kita boleh meletak jawatan hanya dgn syarat anaknya mengambil alih tempatnya?(Tun tidak berbuat begitu)

    Mengapa ahli politik kita menjadi kaya selepas menyertai politik? Setahu saya orang putih kaya dulu sebelum menyertai politik!

    Mengapa semua orang mengatakan Bn/UMNO korup…adakah ini benar?

    Mengapa semua orang mengatakan BN/UMnO banyak menyalahgunakan kuasa… adakah ini benar?

    Mengapa anak-anak muda kini banyak yg membenci UMNO/BN?

    Adakah ahli politik UMNO kini lebih pentingkan periuk nasi atau negara?

  26. Dearest YAB Tun,

    1. At least Susan Rice knows what is good for her party. Di Malaysia, ramai ahli politik yang sentiasa pentingkan diri sendiri berbanding parti. Orang sebegini sebenarnya tidak ikhlas dalam perjuangan mereka dan tidak layak menjadi pemimpin. Saya percaya, Tun meletak jawatan pun kerana Tun memikirkan itu yang terbaik untuk parti dan Kerajaan pada masa tersebut.

    2. Allowing everyone to possess and carry guns is not a good policy – more harm than good. Of course, some smart people (like “Mr Caleb”) would argue that “Vehicles kill people too. Do we ban vehicles or the drivers?” I think he’s not able to differentiate between ACCIDENTS and MASSACRES.

    3. Tentang PERHIMPUNAN yang dianjur oleh Pembangkang pada 12 Jan 2013 – ini juga satu perkara yang tidak baik untuk majoriti rakyat di Malaysia, dan patut di halang; lagipun budaya ini bukan budaya kita rakyat Malaysia. TINDAKAN TEGAS mesti diambil terhadap pihak Penganjur (tanpa rasa takut) kerana peserta-peserta masih juga berarak (berkumpul dan berjalan kearah stadium) dan juga melanggar beberapa peraturan lain.

    Thanks Tun.

    *** May Allah SWT bless Tun and family ***

  27. Rosmah,

    Saya ada awek.Rupanya boleh tahanlah.Cantik.Bodinya macam kerengga.

    Ramai lelaki asyik berkerumun mengadap awek saya depan mata saya.Buatkan hati saya jeles.

    Apa saya perlu buat?

    Walau hati bengkak,saya biarkan saja…haru haru

  28. [KOMEN INI TAK PERLU DISIARKAN.. MOHON TUN AMBIL PERHATIAN SAHAJA]

    Salam Tun,

    Semoga Tun dan keluarga dalam keadaan sihat walafiat. Lama benar tak mengikuti tulisan Tun dalam blog Chedet.

    Sesuai dengan tajuk, saya ingin menyuarakan kebimbangan saya tentang potensi / kebarangkalian BN akan jatuh pada PRU13 akan datang.

    Semasa pemerintahan Pak Lah sebagai PM, kemerosotan sokongan kepada BN adalah disebabkan characternya yang lemah dan permainan politiknya yang banyak dipengaruhi oleh anak menantunya, dengan itu rakyat bimbang Pak Lah tidak boleh tadbir kerajaan dengan baik, banyak keputusannya yang bagi saya amat menyakitkan HATI, cth kenaikan harga rumah disebabkan pengumumannya yang cukai hartanah dihapuskan, harga kebanyakan barang pengguna naik mendadak disebabkan pengumumannya menaikkan harga minyak. Pak Lah secara umum telah membuat kerosakan kepada negara pada magnitud yang agak besar.

    Apabila DS Najib ambil alih pemerintahan sebagai PM, dengan Character yang kuat, keputusan yang jitu, langkah-langkah yang bijak dicipta dan dilaksanakan.. maka harapan untuk melakukan pemulihan agak baik dan berada di landasan yang betul. Sebagai rakyat biasa, saya amat optimis dan gembira melihat perkembangan ini.

    Walau bagaimanapun PM DS Najib pula mempunyai masalah lain yang pada mulanya saya sendiri tidak mahu melihatnya. SEMASA dia masih TPM lagi, isterinya sudahpun agak menojol, lebih-lebih lagi apabila suaminya telah naik jadi PM. Saya ingat Tun pun lebih maklum. Orang yang tidak ambil kisah tetang hal ehwal pentadbiran negara pun dah mula perasan.. tidak kurang yang benci dan menutup TV bila melihat mukanya keluar TV, maaflah tapi ini hakikat sebenar yang berlaku. Character yang dia pamerkan AMAT BERBEZA dengan character sifat keibuan Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah semasa suaminya menjawat jawatan PM selama 23 tahun.

    Untuk pengetahuan Tun, seseorang tidak perlu baca cerita-cerita yang tersebar di internet untuk tidak menyukai isteri PM ini, orang boleh tengok dari wajah.. maaflah Tun patut kita harus amal “Don’t Judge the book by it’s cover”.. tapi ia datang dari naluri dalaman, saya percaya ianya reflection dari aura yang dipancar dari wajahnya sendiri. Character ini telah membunuh character yang baik PM dan seterusnya menyumbang kepada kejatuhan BN pada PRU13.

    Banyak tulisan-tuliasan dalam internet seperti “BLACK ROSE 2.0” dan sebagainya yang saya anggap fitnah, TAPI tanpa penjelasan dari pihak yang berkenaan ianya sesuatu yang nampak PERFECT matching dengan character orang berkenaan.

    Oleh itu DEMI masa DEPAN negara.. supaya TIDAK jatuh ke tangan pihak yang akan lebih menghancurkannya, saya mohon Tun bagi nasihat kempimpinan UMNO untuk buat keputusan drastik, Tun agak sesuai untuk beri nasihat DS Najib dengan cara Tun sendiri dan terbaik.

    WASSALAM

  29. “The love for the party and nation should be greater than love for oneself”.. a vey strong words indeed.Hope a few politicians should consider this for the betterment of malays and nation..
    perhaps like FGVH case, MAS case, and others..

  30. Don’t worry about Americans since Mr Obama has 4 years to lobby supports to ban weapons.

    If Americans are “Very Clever”, they would never be attacked.

    Americans have learned their lesson hard.

    What about you, Iguana?

  31. Salam Tun,

    Vehicles and guns are two very different things. without cars, the world progress will be very much slow. Meanwhile, without guns the world will be much more peaceful. That’s why in Malaysia we promote the usage of cars and banned the guns ownership without any reasonable reasons.

    Yes, Americans are clever with the “outside the box thinking”. Sadly, their cleverness are being used to achieve certain group of people agendas.

    Up until today, America is the ONE AND THE ONLY COUNTRY in this WORLD has dropped the atomic bomb killing 200 000 of people. They are so ‘clever’.

    They said that the WTC are collapsed due to fire from the planes that were being hijacked by al-Qaeda. They were being blinded and deaf towards the clear proof of the bombs induced collapse of the building. If it’s true that the fire caused the collapse, it’s the first time in THE WORLD HISTORY that a concrete skycraper collapsed in less than 1 hour of fire! A hundreds stories of building with 200 000 thousands tons of steel totally collapsed in 10 seconds!! They said al-Qaeda must be held responsible within hours of attack. ‘very clever’.

    They said the Pentagon also being attacked by plane. However, the plane including both the engines which made of tons of alloy and steel were entirely vapourised due to the heat of fire leaving not even single part at all. The hole created defied the logic as it looks like the plane were having no wings at all. However, they still insist that a plane has crashed to the Pentagon even though the truth is it is a CRUISE MISSILE released by the US Air Force itself!! ‘Very clever’ coz the Pentagon cannot collapse like hundreds stories of WTC to FINISH OFF the debris of faked planes like being used at WTC. Therefore, the smart way is a cruise missile. ‘Very clever’.

    The truth is United States of America is being exploited by the Zionists to achieve their agendas. They controlled the guns industries. When school students being shot dead, they proposed to increase the ownership of guns as to protect students. ‘Very clever’ as they can still make money from the deaths and sufferings of others.

  32. Salam Hormat Yg Bhg Tun,

    Kewujudan Petronas dalam kerja-kerja cari gali minyak dan gas di Malaysia adalah terbukti hasil usaha yang dilakukan dengan jujur dan ikhlas oleh kerajaan Barisan Nasional yang diterajui oleh UMNO. Usaha sedemikian (wujudnya Petronas) telah terbukti dapat menjana sumber ekonomi yang begitu membanggakan buat negara dan rakyat Malaysia. Berbagai bentuk pembangunan demi kepentingan rakyat dan negara dapat dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan Barisan Nasional dengan jayanya hasil sumbangan dana yang begitu besar oleh Petronas. Kita yang cintakan negara Malaysia seharusnya sangat-sangat bersyukur ke hadhrat Allah SWT kerana telah mengurniakan sumber kekayaan minyak dan gas, dan merestui kepimpinan UMNO/BN mengusahakan sumber kekayaan sedemikian dengan jayanya. Kejayaan kepimpinan UMNO/BN dalam memajukan Petronas sangat-sangat dicemburui oleh pihak-pihak pembangkang yang sekarang ini menggelarkan diri mereka Pakatan Rakyat (PKR, DAP & Pas). Mereka tidak pernah mengiktiraf sebarang kebaikan usaha-usaha murni kerajaan Barisan Nasional selama ini termasuk memajukan Petronas. Berbagai tohmahan, persepsi negatif, malah menjurus kepada berbagai ragam fitnah dilemparkan terhadap kepimpinan dan kerajaan Barisan Nasional. Sehingga kini semua tuduhan oleh Pakatan Rakyat terhadap kerajaan dan kepimpinan UMNO/BN belum terbukti kesasihannya secara konkrit dan meyakinkan majoriti rakyat. Tohmahan dan dakwaan hanya berbentuk retorik politik buat modal untuk meraih sokongan dan simpati rakyat.

    Boleh diyakini bahawa majoriti rakyat yang jati dirinya kental buat Malaysia, tidak akan mudah terpengaruh dan tertipu dengan muslihat politik Pakatan Rakyat dalam usaha mereka mendapatkan sokongan politik untuk menumbangkan UMNO/BN dalam PRU ke 13.

    Berbagai DEMONSTARI jalanan telahpun dan mungkin akan dianjurkan sebelum PRU ke 13 oleh Pakatan rakyat dalam usaha berterusan mereka meminta simpati rakyat untuk menyokong mereka dalam PRU ke 13. DEMONSTARSI jalanan tidak boleh dijadikan satu mekanisma berkesan bagi meraih undi pengundi di Malaysia untuk memilih kerajaan yang sah. Suasana di Malaysia amat berbeza dengan banyak negara di dunia yang mengubah kerajaan melalui demonstrasi jalanan (yang berakhir dengan berbagai kesusahan buat rakyat dan negara secara berpanjangan). Kerajaan Malaysia sejak Merdeka adalah sebuah kerajaan yang amat setabil dan bertanggungjawab terhadap kepentingan negara dan rakyatnya, tidak ZALIM dan MENINDAS sebarang kepentingan rakyat dari berbilang kaum dan anutan agama. Proses pilihanraya di Malaysia berjalan dengan ADIL dan SAKSAMA, sebarang kelemahan terus ditambah baik dengan hasil usaha bersama kerajaan yang berkuasa dan pihak pembangkang. Namun demikian Pakatan Rakyat masih lagi tidak berpuas hati dan terus mengadakan demonstrasi jalanan menuntut satu Pilihanraya yang BERSIH dan ADIL. Pakatan Rakyat (DAP, PKR & Pas) hanya boleh mengiktiraf bahawa mereka sahaja yang seratus peratus BETUL dan BENAR dalam apa jua pendekatan dan perbuatan. Perjuangan mestilah atas dasar BERPERINSIP BAHAWA YANG BENAR ITU TETAP BENAR, YANG SALAH ITU TETAP SALAH.

    Sekian, terima kasih dan Wassalam untuk semua.

  33. No need to bring the Japanese issue out to show us that you know human history.

    Let the people and market forces correct themselves via demand and supply.
    Rules and policies can be amended to tap rich people to invest in Malaysia.

    Earning taxes from them, we can provide welfare and education to the poor.
    OPEC has forecasted oil price to be down by 30%.

    Will there be reduction in oil price?

    The answer is no because the subsidies let go by Petronas is used to provide soft loans to our students via PTPTN to transform Malaysia to the next level.

    Mr Mubarak Chan should not at look short-term gains if he is serious in
    transforming the country to the next level as BN politicians.

    People will thank Petronas 20 years from today if Petronas is independent and free from intervention from politicians.

  34. Vehicles kill people too. Do we ban vehicles or the drivers? Cars do not run people down without the carelessness of drivers

    Depends who are debating with? American academia have a different view point from the others. They have been brought up to challenge thoughts and view from different angle. Those who have the privilege to graduate from a US high school (or called secondary in Malaysia) and universities will know that their academia will know that their approach is different and encourage variety or thinking outside the box.

    The Americans believe in their Second Amendment – the right to carry arms. If, in the event, there is an invasion from outer space beings or from other nationalities, they can defend themselves. Others will be at the mercy of the invaders. During the World War II, we require the Brits & other Commonwealth countries to defend Malaya from the Japanese.
