1. Terkejut saya apabila diberitahu pemilihan dalam PRU 14 ini tidak lebih dari pemilihan antara Pepsi Cola dengan Coca Cola. Oleh itu apa perlunya kita mengundi.

2. Begitu rendahkah kebolehan kita berfikir dan membuat bandingan? Jika ditanya antara Proton dengan Rolls Royce, yang mana satu yang nak dipilih? Mana-mana sahajalah. Apa bezanya antara Proton dengan Rolls Royce. Kedua-duanya kereta bermotor, tak lebih dari itu.

3. Keputusan yang dibuat ialah untuk tidak membeli Proton atau Rolls Royce. Kereta bermotor boleh terlibat dengan kemalangan. Adalah lebih baik berjalan kaki.

1. People and the media never fail to point out that I was a dictator. I presided over an authoritarian Government of Malaysia for 22 years. Any mention of my name must be preceded or followed with the qualification “dictator”.

2. Looking back now, I realise why, as Prime Minister of Malaysia I was described as a dictator. There were many things I did which were typically dictatorial.

3. Actually I showed this tendency very early. Upon being appointed as Minister of Education, the first command I made was for the “Menteri” plate above the number plate of my official car to be ripped off. Maybe I feared assassination. I don’t know. But, unlike other democratic ministers I did not have the “Menteri” plate on my car.

Pengarang,
Utusan Malaysia

Utusan Malaysia tahu saya tidak kata mufti kafir. Tetapi sebagai media milik parti Kerajaan, Utusan perlu salah tafsir untuk selamatkan diri.

Apa yang saya kata ialah jika mufti tidak menolak dakwaan PAS dan amanat Haji Hadi bahawa orang Islam yang bekerjasama dengan orang kafir menjadi kafir, maka mufti juga akan jadi kafir kerana mereka tidak menyatakan penolakan mereka.

Dear Mr Johari,

1. Do not try to confuse the public by saying that it is just a normal outflow of foreign funds from Malaysia.

2. Yes, foreign investors do liquidate their holdings in Malaysia to take out their money when the Ringgit depreciate or from fear of shares collapsing.

3. Bank Negara as managers of our foreign currency reserves is already holding the foreign currencies (US bonds).

1. Opposition parties can only demonstrate. But Governments can act meaningfully.

2. Umno’s demo together with Pas can only be meaningful if it results in the BN Government acting against Donald Trump and the United States.

3. We call upon the Umno-led Government to follow Turkey in setting up a Malaysian consulate accredited to the Government of Palestine in Jerusalem, its capital.

4. We call upon the Malaysian Government to vote in favour of a draft resolution condemning the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

5. We, the Opposition call upon Najib to rescind his words to Donald Trump during his visit to see the President of the U.S. that “the enemies of the United States are also the enemies of Malaysia”.

6. The U.S. regards Palestine as an enemy of the United States. Malaysia must assure the world that Palestine is not our enemy, that we are in favour of Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

1. Malaysia today is experiencing the destruction of democracy, the system it chose for the governance of the country at independence.

2. It is now described as a kleptocracy, a country ruled by thieves and robbers. But more than that it is a country where there is no rule of law, where the rulers do anything they please.

3. We had chosen democracy because we believed that the people will rule the country. It would not be direct rule of course. It would be through elected representatives.

1. Najib fears financial support for the opposition. To stop this Najib resorts to threats and harassments against potential donors to the opposition.

2. This takes the form of squeezing individuals and companies for extra income and corporate taxes. The Income Tax people visit the potential donors and demand to be paid more taxes.

3. The records show that these people have paid all their taxes. But Income Tax people would reclassify allowances and make them taxable. Tax would be demanded on these newly taxable items and back dated by 10 or 20 years. Suddenly the tax payers find that they have to pay millions in back taxes.

1. Kit Siang and I had a most interesting session with about 200 young Malaysians who wanted to hear answers to their questions. We on the other hand, wanted to know what is bugging them.

2. They asked very intelligent questions but were a little disappointing because they were mainly about past alleged misdeeds of the BN Governments. There was hardly any reference to the present and the future. The main focus was on Ops Lalang.

3. On corruption the assumption seems to be that any new Government would do all the things that Najib has done and is doing as long as the systems remain the same. There seems to be a belief that if the system is right then everything will be fine.

1. Najib takut kalah.

2. Untuk elak dari kalah Najib sanggup buat apa saja. Bahawa perbuatannya boleh ditakrif sebagai penipuan, haram, bertentangan dengan undang-undang, tidak bermoral, memalukan, melawan arus dan adat tidak mengapa. Jika dianya dipandang hina, pedulikan. Rasuah, sogokan dilakukan secara terbuka tanpa segan silu. Jabatan Kerajaan diperalatkan secara salah. Pembangkang ditekan, disoal, ditahan, di penjara oleh polis, didakwa di mahkamah.

3. Jabatan Hasil Dalam Negeri tuntut cukai tanpa asas, senarai hitam peniaga dan perniagaan, tahan pasport, beku wang dalam bank.
