2. Only a few years ago I thought it was impossible for a black man to become President of white United States, the country where the blacks used to be the slaves of the whites.
3. But attitudes have certainly changed radically among the white people. Their support for Obama is overwhelming.
4. There are many reasons why Obama managed to break through white prejudice. But President Bush has contributed much towards the acceptance of black Obama.
5. The Presidency of George Bush Junior must go down in American history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created.
6. There was a lot about wanting to have Obama come in but there was more about wanting to have Bush and his ilk out. And McCain as the Republican candidate simply increased the desire of the Americans to have nothing to do with anyone even remotely identified with Bush.
7. Obama made such a contrast from Bush that the voters must have felt they were voting against Bush as much as for Obama.
8. But Obama is also unfortunate. To be different from Bush in attitude and foreign policy is not going to be too difficult. But Obama is coming in at a time when the US and the World are experiencing the worst of economic and financial crises. While he might succeed in changing foreign policy he is not likely to be able to solve the economic and financial crises, not in the near future certainly.
9. Bail-outs are not going to work. We have seen that already. Even partial or complete nationalization of banks and other financial institutions will not really help in turning things around.
10. Obama will be hard put to find a solution. He has five years. If he fails it is not going to be good for the new President. Certainly it will not be good for the first black President.
11. The world will be watching. It is easier to say change than to actually change.
12. I wish him the best of luck.
A’kum Tun,
Pertukaran yg berlaku ada kehendak Allah kerna Encik George Bush telah
meporak perandakan Negara Islam. Ramai orang Islam telah mati kerna tindakan demokrasi George Bush yg membuat helah yg Saddam Hussin ada weapon of mass destruction. Tetapi George Bush sebenarnya dia tak mengetahui culture orang Iraq dan agama orng Islam. Pernah tak Orang-orang Islam bertanyakan sesama sendiri kenapa pula Negeri Orang Kafir yg hendak menegakkan demokrasi di dalam negeri Islam yg dasarnya Islam telah mengajar kita Muslimin erti sebenarnya apa itu demokrasi?
Sallam YAB TUN,
OBAMA dan OSAMA kan hampir sama,
Seorang disanjung manakala seorang dipuja.
Walaupun masing-masing mungkin berlainan agama,
Tetapi yang terserlah bersinar pasti ISLAM juga.
Jangan nanti yang lain semua dah terima ISLAM,
Kita sahaja di Malaysia menjadi sebaliknya.
Cuba kita bersihkan hati kita yang didalam,
Takut selama ini masih belum bertemu pemiliknya.
Wasslam.
although it is easier to quote and gives the blog a sense of organization, numbering each and every paragraph makes it terribly document looking and awfully dull… you rock man!!!
Minority practice what they preach. Obama may well be one of those that have Knowledge + practice + aprreciation to his work.Unfortunately Tun might be right that he might not change much government policy because the pressure of gooe rapport and good results might lead hi to do ” good people do nothing” attitude. Please Obama , prove me wrong.
The wonderful thing about democracy is that it is a tidal wave that cannot be stopped. Once there is freedom the free people will demand more transparency and accountability from its political leaders. This in turn will preserve the purity of freedom. Malaysia has come a long way in promoting democracy and with such blogs freely available to its people, Malaysia will eventually emerge as a rich and prosperous country for eternity because her people will have the ability to elect the best to run their country. There is only one snag for the moment – the Internal Security Act. Unless this is removed or reconstituted to a more specific purpose, Malaysia will not be able to mature into a true democracy in every sense of the word. For those who think that this Act is necessary for the protection of its citizens and not a tool of suppression by the government of the day, then look to Indonesia for a great example of a good and evolving democracy; Indonesia does not have any internal security act nor is there any fetter on the rights of free expression – there is no permit needed to publish anything, including newspapers. This has happened for the past 8 years and I do not see any chaos and calamity. And they have healthy economic growth for the past few years! Indonesia is a lesson for all of Asean to follow indeed!

OPEN LETTER #41 ON 9/11 TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE USA MICHAEL B. MUKASEY
19 November 2008
Dear Mr. Attorney General,
As the Bush Administration draws to a close, let me recommend to you and all others at the Department of Justice, including your successors there, a truly magnificent Italian film called Zero: An Investigation into 9/11.
You can view the English version by clicking this link http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2296490368603788739 or, better yet, going here http://zerofilm.it to buy the CD.
One of the presenters is Dario Fo, a Nobel Prize winner, whose great elan epitomizes the spirit of the filmmakers. With admirable discipline and ingenuity, the makers of this masterpiece explain succinctly why the 9/11 Commission Report is so very inadequate. Allow 105 minutes to see this film.
The testimonies of key eyewitnesses, expert witnesses and analysts are paraded before your eyes in such a way that you might want to put these creative artists on the DoJ payroll. They are not perfect in that they avoid salient issues like seismic data and Ptech software loading PROMIS software into government computer systems to monitor and game them, and a few other issues, but believe me, this is a compelling and classic performance!
Speculation on who sits at your desk come 20 January 2009 hinges on speculation on who will sit in the Oval Office.
President Elect Obama and the Democratic National Committee are compelled to answer by 1 December 2008 Philadelphia lawyer Philip J. Berg’s petition for a Writ of Certiorari on his unsuccessful District Court challenge of Obama’s qualifications.
The issue of Berg’s standing to make such challenge ought not consume the little time left before the Electoral College selects our next president on 15 December 2008, so I have requested that Chief Justice Roberts determine the facts and law in this matter on an urgent basis, and then advise the Electoral College forthwith. (http://www.show-the-house.com/id69.html.)
The controlling law for this controversy is found in Article II, Section 1, Amendment XII and Section 3 of Amendment XX of the Constitution of the USA.
Briefly, if Obama’s paternal grandmother’s claim that she witnessed his birth in Kenya in 1961 is true, Obama is not eligible to be President of the USA.
And if he ever held Indonesian citizenship, he is not even a naturalized US citizen. Bingo!
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Sir,
I was tickled pink when you mentioned that it is not an impossibility that Malaysia will have a minority PM. In case you have conveniently forgotten, Malaysia has already had a minority PM and that was you. You seem to completely deny your Indian heritage and strut around as though you are a full-blooded Malay. Give us a break please..enough of your NEP and subsequent bullshit. Any person who does not acknowledge his own heritage is a colossal disgrace, and you dear sir are one!!
Yo Tun,
This is how democary works. It doesnt mean you are black or white, but you still can be leader. Malaysia? Demokrasi ker? komunis kot,keke
Tun, You are my man!
Good Luck!
Hi Tun, wishing u n your fly d best of health.
Obama, May Each N Every Step U Take, Brings U Closer, To The Things U Seek, To Find!
Good Luck!
Assalamulaikum Tun,
Wish you best of health.
About Obama, I salute his courage, inteligence and self-determination that is hardly found in many politician in the World recently. I studied in America and I knew the feeling of Black when come to racism. Even I mysef got the nasty curse from the Red-Neck because of my skin’s color.
Good Luck fellow Americans with your new President !!!.
Dear Tun,
You may choose not to publish my comments if you find it not relevant.
First of all, I’m a great fan of Barack Obama, and I do find that your congratulation note him which carry the word – First Black President is inappropriate. I would suggest us to use “First African-American President” ? Or in fact, we shouldn’t even use the word First. Everyone in America, regardless of gender or race or skin-colored are equal , all of them are Americans. Why shall it be the first black / or first female / or first Yellow ?
Secondly, since your blog is garnering so much traffic, and receiving so much comments, perhaps you may create a button to access your comment box without having a user to scroll down all 300++ of comments before reaching what we are trying to reach ? We shall always focus on making it easy for the user 😉
Thirdly, despite all my suggestions, don’t ever mistaken that I don’t enjoy reading your blog. In fact, I do find great empowerment and I do genuinely appreciate the awareness which you have created for all your faithful readers.
Yang Disayangi Tun,
Artikel Tun berkenaan Siapa Boleh jadi Perdana Menteri begitu faktual dan tepat saperti lazimnya kenyataan-kenyataan Tun.
Ini membuat saya terfikir,sekiranya Pakatan merasakan mereka lebih bagus mengurus kerajaan,bukan kah secara logiknya mereka ini harus memyatakan dan menubuhkan apa yang dikatakan “shadow cabinet”.
Ini akan membuat Debat di Parlimen lebih bernas dan menjurus kepada penambahbaikan pentadbiran,pengurusan kerajaan memerintah.Dan mungkin meninggikan lagi martabat MP-MP atau ahli politik ini pada mata kaca rakyat.
Mungkin dengan ini mereka-mereka ini akan lebih serius memikirkan hal rakyat dan negara saperti di masa Tun menerajui negara.How i miss that?
saya doakan kesihatan Tun dan isteri sentiasa sihat dan dirahmati Allah swt.
Victory of Barack Obama is not just showing peace but it was showing good example for a multi race country.The question is can we archive same victory done by Obama?Can Malaysia Prime Minister is Chinese or India people?If we can archive this level,i was believe the real perpaduan is happend at Malaysia.Anyone from different race vote some good leader that without care about race.It was our dreams for our lovely Malaysia country.
My congrats to President Barrack Obama too. I agree. The U.S’s foreign policy is the major reason for the Democrats to break through after they failed for their bid to take over power during the last election in U.S. The second reason will be because the Blacks desperately need to prove that as Americans, they can do a great job like heading the country. Competition must be done on a fair ground. If the white men can fail, why can’t the blacks ? If the white men can win, why can’t the blacks ? It is only the skin and the outer shell which God creates that are different. Inside it is the same. Blood, tissues, organs and others. It is not just a change. It is breaking away from the chains and fulfilling the full potential which a person has. Yes, we see a piece of history in making.
Dear Tun,
Harap sihat sekeluarga.
Tak terfikir Obama orang kulit hitam boleh jadi President Amerika Syarikat.
Mungkin selepas sekian lama idea ‘white supremacy’ dihakis dengan cultural force of black music seperti R&B dan sebagainya,shingga kan budak2 mat salleh pun nak jadi black.
Apa kata kita tingkatkan subliminal massage of Malay culture bertubi tubi untuk jangka masa yang lama supaya orang cina dan india pun nak jadi melayu?
Dari kita mengamalkan exclusive politics,apa kata kita include kan bangsa lain untuk bangga berbahasa melayu dan meng’associate’kan diri dengan orang Islam.
Sayangnya cultural practicioner dari kalangan melayu tidak mengeluarkan quality music dan art yang boleh dijadikan sbliminal ‘attack’ untuk semua bangsa2 di malaysia.Hanya segilintir sahaja artis melayu yang boleh dianggap ‘world class’ itupun mereka incline dengan flavour barat.
Kalau Tun bole bagi pendapat pada Menteri Penerangan dato’ Saberi cheek untuk meningkatkan subliminal message untuk me melayukan Malaysia melalui cultural force…cantik juga.
Jika Tun pergi shopping complex like klcc seminggu sebelum raya tak kedengaran pun lagu hari raya. nak dekat2 raya baru dapat dengar.
Tapi kalau Tun pergi klcc 1 bualan setengah sebelum Krismas dah kedengaran dah lagu christmast…
Kita mesti proliferate subliminal message melayu keudara, darat dan langit…dan jadikan ia perjuangan jangka panjang…jangan esok orang melayu boleh terima perdana menteri DAP bangsa cina….
yours,
Azuwar.
Tun,
Nak add in sikit komen lagi untuk bloggers Tun,
I remember satu movie (made in Hong Kong after force invasion of America in Iraq) pernah kata, mengapa Middle East dinamakan “terrorist and the bad boys”, it was because of the famous CNN news!!!!!
Till then, keep writing Tun, and che det will reach 10,000,000 visitors in few more days and che det akan layak masuk THE “10” MILLIONAIRE CLUB.
Congratulations and Tabik Tun.
Good morning Tun,
Since this topic is still hot, I suggest why not non-bumiputra accept heartedly Bumiputra (President of UMNO) as the PM of Malaysia without further questions and arguments, just like what happened in America. Yes change must execute, THE CHANGE is that GET OUR PAK LAH, KJ and his KONCU2 OUT from UMNO NOW!!!!. Thus Malaysia will be re-united again under BN.
I met an indian who felt discusted with MIC, has decided to give a chance to MIC in the next election PRU 13. So, Samy work hard and be sincere, okay.
Good day and take care Tun.
Of all the 43 US Presidents, George W Bush Jr must have been the dumbest of them. Worst still, Abdullah paid tax payers money to ask George W Bush Jr for advice… hahahahahahahah… u can imagine the rest… Malaysian politics has gone to the dogs.
1) Kalu untuk mempertahankan Hak Islam, Hak Raja2 Melayu, Hak Keistemewaan Melayu di Malaysia…akan mengundang kutukan saperti RASIS…..aku Redha dengan panggilan itu. Full Stop !
2) President USA dicari oleh Unit Khas yang dipelopori Pembesar Zionist. Oleh kerana Presiden USA hanya boleh pegang jawatan itu paling lama 2 penggal, maka mudahlah mereka bersiap sedia mencari pengganti bila sampai masanya.
3) Yang Utama penghapusan selain Zionist. Mereka bukan hanya bermusuh dengan Islam, tetapi manusia sejagat. Secara ringkas mereka melaksanakan dasar IBLIS di bumi ini.
4) Yang pelik Tun, setiap media menggemburkan keluarga Obama sebelah bapaknya…tetapi sebelah ibunya tiada. Apakah mereka ingin rahsiakan siapa sebenar ibu Obama ?
5) Benarlah kemenangan Obama telah dicaturkan sedemikian rupa….selama Bush Jr memerintah…PENGANUT ISLAM ADALAH TERORIS !
Sudah ditanam dalam minda dan hati manusia sejagat bagaimana rupanya teroris dan apakah agama mereka. Atas kertas mereka telah berjaya mengecopkan MOSLIMS ADALAH PENGGANAS !!
Tun dan lainnya berhujjah…siapa sebenarnya mencipta TERORIS ini ? Pentadbiran Bush dan sebelumnya telah berlaku Zalim di Palestin dan dll telah melahirkan “TERORIS” ini.
5) Justeru untuk memperbetulkan keadaan (kononnya)dan halatuju USA…Obama adalah calun paling sesuai. Mengapa ? Dia dikatakan seorang yang percaya kepada falsafah ” Kalu aku ada mainan disekolah, aku suka berkongsi mainan itu dgn rakan2 lain yang tiada mainan disekolah”….maknanya dalam diri Obama ini beliau adalah seorang yang amat prihatin terhadap ORANG MALANG/SUSAH tak kira siapa.
Tetapi mengapa Chief Of Staffs White House beliau ambil Rahm Emmanuel yang terkenal sebagai orang yang mengambil Monica Lewinsky kedalam White House sehingga terlibat dalam scandal BLOWJOB dengan Presiden Clinton ??
Akhirnya Rahm Emannuel diberhentikan sebagai POLICY AND POLITICAL ADVISORS kepada Presiden Clinton.
…Boleh tak kita katakan Level 4 Boys di Putrajaya diciptakan dengan Modus Operandi yang sama saperti Rahm dengan sengaja menciptakan Kerajaan dibawah BN/UMNO sangatlah lemah dengan Pak Lah sebagai The Sleeping/The Flip Flop Prime Minister sehingga rakyat FEDUP dgn BN/UMNO ?
Maknanya level 4 boys tu bukan berkhidmat untuk Malaysia, tetapi Negara Luar !
PAK LAH hanyalah kuda tunggangan mereka.
6) Segala gerak kerja Bush Jr selama ini adalah untuk Obama mengambil alih dan meneruskan dasar BAHAYA yang akan diselaputi dengan MANISAN..yang akan pasti mendapat sokongan dan dokongan bukan sahaja Pemimnpin2 Dunia lain..malah RAKYAT MARHAEN !
Ini adalah lebih bahaya kerana apa tindakan Obama akan dapat menggerakkan THE MASSESS ALL OVER THE WORLD !!
Apa tugas sebenar Presiden USA yang ke-44 ini untuk sampai kepada matlamat terakhir Zionist.
7) Semoga Tun jaga kesihatan dan keselamatan demi menghalang perancangan Zionist dibumi ini. You are THE KEY to all answers for the success of Nusantara.
Dear Tun,
I sincerely hope Obama will walk the talk. Being the youngest and the first African American, he surely breaks all record. But can he shoulder the economic crisis?. He surely belongs to the old guard since he payed a homage to Israel. So don’t expect any change in middle east policy anytime soon.

salam tun
bagi saya sama je. kalau dah us tu, tak payah cakap dari bush senior sampai bush junior sama je. yahudi + nasrani + dll. prinsip tetap sama hendak tengok islam di tindas. sepatutnya org islam perlu menyokong org islam dari negara lain untuk membina kekuatan negara dan islam itu sendiri.
dala dunia ini ada tak negara islam yang mempunyai senjata nuklear tapi bukan paksi atau sekutu us. ada? pakistan…. macam kena tarik hidung..
kenapa malaysia pada zaman tun tidak mahu membina kekuatan tersebut. kita tidak boleh berbangga dengan sejarah salam islam terdahulu. separuh dunia org islam memerintah, tapi hancur di sebabkan malas dan bangga dengan keadaan tersebut. kejatuhan andalusia memang menyakitkan org islam. tapi apa yang boleh org islam buat. kita patut belajar dari zaman gelap barat dan belajar cara org islam. sebut je ibnu sina dan ramai tokoh lagi. mereka mengkaji dan mereka berjaya. sekarang umat islam perlu kembali belajar dengan negara barat dan memkaji serta azam yang kuat untuk membentuk semula empayar islam gemilang.
Tun, see how Bush Behaves after Obama was elected? One thing for certain he will not set up a blog to stay relevant..
Dear Tun,
Reading your article and all the comments, i have noticed that many people have overlooked the other factor that had also helped Obama to win this election besides the obvious reason of the American people wanting change. That factor is that he is a Christian. I bet if he was not a christian, he would not have won the democratic ticket let alone win the American Presidency. In America you have to be a Christian to be a President as the Majority of the Americans are Christians as well.
Similarly in Malaysia we have recently been reading, hearing and talking about the possibility of having a Prime Minister from Non Malay back ground. That may happen only if the candidate is Muslim as we are a muslim majority country.Religion will always be the main factor in deciding even if race is not.
As far as the issue of ketuanan melayu I think it should never have been brought up in the first place as the term is wrong and not addressing the real issue faced by the country. The way the leaders of today especially in BN (UMNO & MCA) have taken the issue, it will end in a bitter break up between the two.
I feel that the non-malays mainly have issue with regards to the allocation of education seats as well as the lack of help from the government on the economic front (especially for the indian community). But the call by a number of MCA leaders for reviewing the Malay privilages are unfair when they have practiced chinese favoritism within their own group.
The non malays have to know that if they want a truly Malaysian Malaysia then they to have to let go of their Chinese and Indian schools and other things directly related to their race and will have to assimilate themselves to a single culture.
For the Malays i strongly support many of the governments initiative (even though i’m not a malay) especially vehicles such as PNB, PUNB, MTDC and such, as well as the government allocation for bumiputera businesess as i know that if the government does not take care of the majority then one day what had happened in Indonesia in 1998 will happen in Malaysia as well (as Tun mentioned before).
However the malays have to realize that the only way for them to be respected by others is by coming up on their own or at least repay the governments help by doing things as they should be done and not to abuse the help.
But talking about ketuanaan in the context that Malaysia belongs to the malays and that the indians and the chinese were immigrants is totally wrong since there should never be a Tuan when you live in a country as diverse as Malaysia. Yes the malays are the majority and the oldest to inhibit this land amongst the 3 main races but we have to look at the future not the past. Malays should also realize that being the majority they have to look after the minority as asked by Islam.
What we need is for the Government to review policies especially with regards to education where they should increase help to the non malays and to some degree the economic policies at least to ensure that the abuse of the policies/help is reduced.
I have had the privilege of travelling far and to many countries in this short life of mine but never have i seen a country as beautiful in terms of nature and its people as i have seen in Malaysia.
I believe that just as we have been blessed by God in terms of natural resources (oil, timber, sea, etc…), He has also blessed us with human resources not in numbers but in diversity as each race has its own beauty and pro. It has been destined for Malaysia to be inhabited by the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians, the Kadazan, the Murut etc… but it is up to us on how we make use of this diversity which will decide the future Malaysia. For if we make use of both the natural and human resources justly, the idea of Malaysia being a Global dominant will become a reality but if we fail to make use of our advantage then the failure is for all to share.
Assalamulaikum Tun,
I find the statement by Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong that the republic is not ready for a non-ethnic Chinese premier is something that Malaysians from all races need to ponder.
All this while, many Malaysian Chinese have openly praised both senior (Lee Kuan Yew) and junior Lee as being very capable in managing the city state.
To them, there is wisdom in the views of the two Lees.
Now that the junior Lee had publicly expressed his opinion that the republic was not ready for a minority non-ethnic Chinese to rule, would the non-Malay minority in Malaysia see wisdom in what Hsien Loong had said.
Or the minority Malaysian Chinese will still insist that eventhough they are the minority, the fact that they are Chinese, they should be holding the nation
Tun,
Ehhhh!!!! Mana boleh macam tuh!! Orang hitam mana boleh jadi presiden negara orang putih? Tak boleh lah, di Amerika ada Ketuanan Orang Putih, di Malaysia ada Ketuanan Melayu. Hanya Melayu sajalah yang boleh jadi PM di Malaysia.
Obama setengah hitam, setengah putih. Tun setengah India, setengah Melayu. Obama bangga jadi orang hitam tapi Tun malu jadi orang India. Tun mau dikenal sebagai orang Melayu dan pura-pura jadi orang Melayu. Mungkin kerana orang India tak boleh jadi PM di malaysia?
hey JJJ,
so…what type of name do u suggest??? actually OBAMA is born muslim and he murtad…plz be more clear…

SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN,
IZINKAN,
To avoid sending wrong messages to OBAMA or OSAMA, the Iranian President has established new secret reference codes for them.
for OBAMA it is ‘Barrack FTL9/24/11/26/11-USA and
for OSAMA it is ‘Benladen FTL9/12/11/26/11-ALQUEDA
GUESS WHAT?
Sometime it’s nice to play a SPY game..he he he
LUV AYAHANDA AND BONDA RAKYAT TUN AND ANAKANDA2 CHEDET.COM TOO.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Good day sir…
I hope you can comment on the reactions of the many minority groups in Malaysia which seemed to feel that the election of Obama as the American President should encourage similar outcome in our country in the future.
From my point of view, the Chinese and Indians who feels that they should have a chance of taking over the country
Dear Tun,
What Tun is saying is that we need to moderate our expectations. Lets not burden Mr Obama with our unrealistic expectations of him.
Allow him to find his way to solving the problems facing the USA and the world. We also need to understand that just like Tun he is only a man with exceptational ability and given the heavy responsiblity.
There will be mountains of obstacles confronting him. So let us Pray that he will make this world more peaceful and fair for the sake of the people of the world.
Bush Jr. draws parallels to our own ….
Dear S Tan
Congratulation….pls continue ur educated comment so that everybody here will wake up with the new view/opinion.
Tahniah kepada Obama yang bakal manjadi President amerika Syarikat.
Amerika berjaya membuktikan bahawa orang kulit hitam, pada sejarahnya dibawa ke tanah Amerika sebagai hamba kepada kaum putih berkurun lamanya boleh menjadi President kepada Negara Kuasa Besar dunia itu.
Ego kaum putih diketepikan atas dasar kepercayaan kepada perubahan dunia baru, keamanan, ketiadaan sifat perkauman, kesaksamaan dan kebebasan. Ini merupakan contoh yang baik dan amat sesuai pada zaman ini.
Zaman dimana dunia tanpa batas perkauman.
Mungkinkah Malaysia sudah mampu menjalani pentadbiran tanpa dominasi daripada satu kaum sahaja? Atau perlu kita melihat dalam tempoh 5 tahun akan datang, impak daripada pemimpim kaum bukan kulit putih di Amerika Syarikat?
Walaubagaimanapun, saya masih mengharapken keterbukaan dalam pentadbiran negara berasaskan kepada kepercayaan terhadap pemimpin yang betul2 ikhlas untuk memajukan negara dalam semua aspek tanpa mengira kaum atau budaya atau agama.
Malaysia mampu menjadi sebuah negara majmuk yang aman dengan berpandukan undang2 perlembagaan.
Suatu Hari nanti pasti Ada pemimpin sabah sarawak menjadi orang penting dalam kerajaan Malaysia.
sekian.
Ayahanda Tun,
Terima kasih kerana highlight kepimpinan yang ditunjukkan oleh Barack Obama yang berjaya menjadi Presiden negara superpower majoriti berkulit putih. Sebagai pemerhati saya berpendapat Barack Obama mempunyai kualiti sebagai pemimpin unggul;
a. Beliau mampu berucap dengan begitu petah, berdebat dengan baik, menjawab soalan dengan begitu yakin, tidak menunjukkan emosi keterlaluan, humble dsb. Apakah kita ada pemimpin masa ini samada dalam kerajaan atau pembangkang yang begitu.
b. Beliau disokong kuat oleh pelobi ekonomi melalui pengurus kempen disemua peringkat. Apakah dengan menghalalkan sumbangan kedalam tabung kempen calon yang bertanding akan mengurangkan politik wang. Agak sukar calon untuk bertanding dalam jawatan tertinggi UMNO contohnya jika mereka tidak boleh berkempen secara sihat. Bagaimana nak berkempen kalau tidak ada pengurus kempen dan modal? Nak berceramah pun kene ada duit bayar tempat dan makanan. Tentu perlu gajikan pengurus kempen dan pekerja kempen, tak kan air liok aje.
c. Beliau mempunyai visi yang sangat menarik dan meyakinkan semua lapiasan masyarakat seperti yang dimiliki oleh ayahanda Tun.
Semoga Tun sentiasa memimpin kami. wasalam.
Salam Tun,
Saya sangat berharap Obama menang pilihanraya presiden ini. Saya harap presiden pertama yang berkulit hitam ini akan melakukan perubahan terutama yang melibatkan dasar Amerika terhadap isu keganasan yang telah dipelopori oleh Bush selama ini, isu terhadap rakyat palestin oleh israel, isu pencerobohan terhadap iraq dan banyak lagi isu2 melibatkan masyarakat islam.
Salam Tun,

I read Malay Dilema too. Other races like chinese who are more aggressive and less god fearing, and indians are more vocal and very aggressive, that is why Malaysia need to implement NEP and institutionalize Malay Supremacy to safe guard Malaysia harmony and perpaduan. Thank you for your advice. Well, Singaporean is Singaporean, Malaysian is Malaysian, that’s the way to go. Yes, we too love to have Singapore to be our neigbouring country, but in terms of nationality, we are indeed different. That’s life. Good day.
Tun, the vistors of che det is reaching 9.4 million, bravo Tun!!!
Assalamualaikum TUN,
Berita kemenangan Obama memang amat dinantikan. Adalah diharapkan dasar dan polisi luarnya juga akan memberi ruang dan peluang kepada dunia yang lebih selamat dan terbuka.
Ramai yang melihat kemenangan Obama bererti berkuburnya sentimen perkauman dsb. Ada juga suara2 yang mahukan perkara yang sama berlaku di Malaysia.
Sebagai ingatan jangan lah terlalu teruja dengan apa yang berlaku di Amerika. Orang Melayu di Malaysia adalah bangsa dan kaum peribumi asal, biarlah mereka yang perintah negara ini.
Takkan kita nak perintah setiap negara bilamana kaum kita dilihat kuat di sesebuah negara tersebut.
Kita jangan jadi bangsa atau kaum yang tamak atau kalau ada saja peluang kita nak kebas. Hormati lah orang lain sama terutamanya kaum peribumi tersebut.
Assalamualaikum dear Tun,
I fear that Obama is nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. His policies are vague except to reiterate the need for change but as you say, lacking in details. I’m already disappointed with his first press conference, where acting as “tough” as Bush, the war criminal, he said that he believes Iran’s quest for the nuclear know how is unacceptable to the world. Notice how he’s already speaking for the world. Now who elected him as the leader of the world?
Americans were given the illusions that they have democracy since they can either vote for puppet A or B. The reality is both the puppets are on a string controlled by the puppet master which is a zionist.
Expect No change but more dis-order for the next 4 years. I fear for the future.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
CONGRATULATIONS MR BARRACK OBAMA ON BEING ELECTED THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA ON THE 4TH OF NOV.2008.
YOUR WINNING THE ELECTION HAS TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD. PLEASE BRING LOVE AND NOT HATE.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU WITH HOPE.
Greetings to you Tun. Before I start, let me say I have great respect for your views.
Obama won the election because he is the better man. Even my parents in their 80
Dear Tun, salam sejahtera moga sihat bahagia. Minta izin menjawab pengulas.

…….KESAKSAMAAN MELAWAN PENYELEWENGAN BUKAN TARIK BANTUAN
Affirmative action (I support), diterima dan digunakan dimana mana membantu golongan lemah dan kurang upaya. Selalunya ia untuk membantu yg minoriti dan tidak berkuasa. Tak pernah ia untuk golongan berkuasa dan majority. M’sia ada kelainannya jadi ia diterima hingga skrg.
Keistimewaan untuk golongan minoriti tak bawa masaalah (jumlah kecil), tapi untuk majoriti timbul lah penyelewengan, gila kuasa, rasuah, penindasan, pilih kasih, budaya hulur tangan, Ali Baba, tamak haluba. Kesaksamaan jalan terbaik mengelak gejala buruk ini, sebab keistimewaan mudah disilap mata untuk kemewahan kesenangan bukan untuk berusaha.
Akhirnya tongkat sakti jadi idaman bukan sekadar tongkat kayu. Tongkat kayu kena belajar pakai, jaga dan simpan…leceh! Tongkat sakti tak payah! Buka mulut, laung kuat kuat, Melayu di cabar…!
…….KEISTIMEWAAN ‘DOUBLE EDGE SWORD’
Bantu lah dgn ikhlas bangsa sendiri dengan mengajar bukan memberi. Tuhan sendiri memaksa penganutnya belajar berusaha. Sendiri itu lebih memberi dari meminta, baru bangsa cepat maju. Contoh, kalau bapa dulu dapat biasiswa dan jawatan tinggi jangan minta anak pula dibantu sebegitu. Usaha sendiri bayar di IPTS (mcm kaum kain) dan biar anak petani nelayan peluang. Jangan rebut dgn dia krn hak istimewa! Mcm ini sampai akhirat Melayu ketinggalan….sebabnya orang sendiri berebut hak.
Bantulah melawan gejala ini jangan asyik syak kura kura yg di kurung. Makanan dia bukan boleh tahan selama lamanya, asyik kena bayar. Jadi bantu seberapa banyak kaum miskin, lemah, malang tapi waspada dgn yg dah berada, tiada kekurangan, berilmu nak minta. Kalau ikut kuota takut mrk ini curi masuk. Dgn kesaksamaan dia tak layak berbanding orang miskin kaum lain.
……POHAN MAAF?
Tentang mengata pendirian Tun sebagai dinosaur. Sepatutnya saya boleh ikut pendirian Ahmad Ismail berkeras saya menyata kebenaran. Prinsip yg dah lama pakai dan lapuk boleh di ibarat dinosaur banding prinsip yg baru diperkenalkan. Tapi saya fikir kalau kita telah tersinggung perasaan orang minta maaf sajalah tak payah berputar. Saya tak berniat sengaja menyinggung perasaan, jadi siapa yg terasa harap maaf. Tun… I think understands.
Dear Tun,
People can call the US anything they want – the Great Satan, Uncle Sam, the Great Oppresor etc.
They are not NUMBER ONE for nothing.
The election of Obama continues to show the US will always lead the world, probably into perpetuity.
The US history is only a few hundred years. Other civilisations have been around for thousands. Why not any of them are the leader?
It is simple — the Americans did more things right… that’s all.
What do we have here — losers using Hitler’s doctrines clothed in religion and Mao Tse Tung’s “power lies in the barrel of a gun” in trying to reign supreme.
We all know what happened to Hitler and the Aryan supremacy.
Best Regards
Ataturk
For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.
That is what happened to America.
At a time when it is collapsing, the masses use their survival instinct to choose a leader who they believe could turn things around for the better.
They need a capable leader who can cushion the impact of damages caused by an ignorant war monger from Texas whom they voted as president, not once but twice.
When people start feeling the pinch of economic meltdown, the survival instinct will take control.
That is why Americans voted for a leader based on the content of his character not the colour of his skin.
CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA.
Congrats to Obama and his winds of change.
But, HEY! wait a minute! Who is the “presidential team ” he’s getting on board?
Emmanuel , chief of staf?? His dad is from Jerusalem and he(emmanuel) served in the Israeli army before. Buffett is also mentioned. Guess who they all are? And Fed Reseve banks past Presidents are none other than…….yes, semitics.
If only Obama can pick a Muslim advisor… that remains a wish list. The Neo-cons will never let Muslims an inch near him.
The Secret Service has been “providing protection” for him for the past 18 months. Yes, true..protection. But that also means, he has little access to advice and opinion other than the same “old hands” behind the scenes in the White House, who have written and designed the (morally bankrupt) US Foreign policies which unilaterally serve the long-term interests of the existence of Israel in the Middle East.
Reader ‘soundheart’ is right: it’s all a game of PROXY. The same people, or the same racial (semitic) elements behind the scenes, making the “Foreign policies’ for Obama..again……Pro-Israel and anti-Arab-anti-Islam.
So, no matter how much tears of joy that the ordinary “Gentile” Americans and the rest of the world shed in the past 72 hours, Obama will be surrounded by pro-Israel advisors who will give him little or no space to do what his HEART (and his Muslim descendants) wants him to do..make the world a better place for all.
-norshina-
chedet,
With the kind of damage done by dubya, anyone on a Democrat ticket could have won the election. Which was why Ms Clinton was so eager to win it ahead of Obama in the Democrat’s battle. If there was no republican and the election had been between Clinton and Obama, she might have won more states than McCain.
There was a comment by somebody that Obama should start the MidEast peace process earlier than dubya, who left it very late. The truth is, it wasnt just dubya, Bill Clinton also left it late (not as late as dubya), and in the end the peace agreement between Arafat’s PLO and Israel was very flimsy to say the least, and it broke down immediately after Clinton left office.
Obama has a lot on his plate. There’s a lot of optimism in the air, yes, he was an ethnic minority, so his victory was coincidentally very symbolic.
But I shudder to think abt the contrast drawn with the state we are in Malaysia, abt people wondering if it is possible for other race to become the PM. I for one, would love to see people from humble beginnings rise to the occasion and become the leader of our nation, regardless of race. But why not make a comparison in the private sector as well? Is it possible for a well-qualified and experienced Malay to head a billion dollar non-GLC, index component company, without using undue influence, when the private sector is well-dominated by a certain race? The Malays are a minority here, I can count them with fingers on one hand. And no, dont mention the chairman’s role, everybody knows what it really stands for. In the US, a black once headed Merrill Lynch, before he was sacked. Now a minority heads Citigroup. Can the Malay, minority in business, be finally accepted to head such big businesses? I would love to see that… That to me is just as symbolic of the nation’s achievements as a minority becoming our PM… Anyway, it is just a wish.
My 2 sen.

Assalamualaikom, betul tulisan bluesgang77. Ketika saya bekerja di US, saya berkenalan dengan seorang perempuan mexican yang sudah tinggal di US sejak berumor 15 tahun. Dia kata sunggoh pon emak bapaknya orang mexican, dia orang US, apa yang tertulis dalam perlembagaan US, undang2, hukuman etc dia akan sokong. Jadi apa pon warna kulit, cara mereka seperti juga orang2 kulit putih disana. Jadi saya ingin tengok apa kah policy luar negara US (terhadap palestine dan mid-east) walau pon ‘si hitam manis’ ini jadi President. Kita sama2 tunggu electorial vote mereka sama ada mamat ni dipilih atau tidak. Sama aje.
Masih Ada Yang Sayang.
sila tun komen tindakan kerajaan ambil duit kwsp untuk valuecap. adakah ini memberi apa-apa faedah (kepada rakyat/ penabung kwsp) ?
Salam Tun,
Congratulations to Obama. Harap Obama datang melawat Malaysia tak lama lagi. Bila kita nak dapat pemimpin yang berwibawa macam Tun? Obama pun tak setanding Tun.
Semoga Tun & famili sihat wal’afiat.
Salam Hormat Tun Mahadhir
Saya lihat banyak pertanyaan dari raayat Malaysia khusus bulan melayu bertanya2 apakah mungkin selain dari bangsa melayu boleh menjadi Perdana Menteri malaysia.
Menurut saya tidak mungkin selagi raayat Malaysia tidak bersatu.Coba kita lihat di America raayatnya gunakan satu bahasa,semua sekolah hanya satu jurusan dan mengamalkan satu budaya.
Apa kah raayat malaysia keturunan cina dan india sanggup hapuskan sekolah kebangsaan jenis cina dan india dan bertutur satu bahasa kebangsaan. Renungkanlah teman2 kita janganlah samakan system America dengan Malaysia
Salam hormat TUN,
dengan izin TUN,izinkan saya menyatakan:”IF THE AMERICANS CAN DO IT,WHY CANT WE! LETS EXERCISE OUR DEMOCRACY VIA PEOPLES POWER”
Salam Yg Dikasihi Tun,
1. Maaf Tun, saya kurang setuju yang Obama ialah org
salam Tun,
is it possible that one vote for Obama, equals to a show of disgust to Bush? How come I feel like I have heard of this before..hmm..
so, in other words, Obama is not necessarily good, the only main thrust is the weakness of Bush that put Obama at his place now.
So, are we going to get into the same situation come PRU13? Is najib gonna make much difference to our current administration? we just have to wait and see. he has a lot of works to do now.
another area of concern, i read somewhere that Obama is a jewish supporter and is worried if the jewish sees him differently from the previous presidents. so, i supposed his next move will probably to do some really big stunts to show his support to the jewish..what can it be? well, for one, his closest advisor is now a jewish . what do you think of this, Tun?
Salam to Tun and all,
For those still wondering/asking when Malaysia will have Non Malay PM just like Obama in US, pls check our track record and you will see that Malaysia has beat US long time ago. Malaysian are not rasict. Only ignorance and ungrateful people make an issue out of it. I wonder if malay can be seputeh MP as mentioned by one of the blogger. We already know the answer if others can be the MP in malay majority areas (at least 30plus cases as proof). That is the reality.
God bless all of us.
Selamat tengahari Tun,
Just nak add in sikit tentang pilihan Amerika, jika kita baca berita dari yahoo, hanya seramai 133 million rakyat telah buat pilihan kali ini, that’s about 17% of the population. Eee… sikitnya. Jadi what happen to those who did not vote????? They don’t trust their government?
Dari satu petikan yang dibuat Jet Li (in readers digest), beliau mengaku bahawa rakyat Amerika sayangi keluarga dulu, negara adalah no. 2 dalam kehidupan mereka. Di Asia pula, beliau kata negara adalah pilihan no. 1 kerana ada negara baru lah ada keluarga.
Jadi di Malaysia, tuhan no.1, raja dan Negara no. 2, keluarga no. 3,
kira bagus lah, kita kan Asian, buat apa nak ikut Amerika.
Bye Tun.

BEFORE HISTORY IS TO BE CREATED FOR A NON-MALAY/MUSLIM AS THE PREMIER OF MALAYSIA,
PERHAPS, WE SHOULD ALLOW THE MUCH EARLIER CIVILISED NATIONS OF CHINA AND INDIA TO TAKE THE USA ‘ROUTE’ BY ELECTING A CHINESE/MUSLIM AND INDIAN/MUSLIM RESPECTIVELY AS THE PRESIDENT/PREMIER OF THEIR DENSELY POPULATED COUNTRY.
PERHAPS THEN ‘TINY’ MALAYSIA CAN TAKE THE SAME ‘ROUTE’
ATLEAST, THE MALAYSIA CHINESE AND INDIAN WHO DEMANDED FOR THE ‘CHANGE’ WILL HAVE THEIR ‘ROOTS’ TO SAMPLE.
MEANWHILE, WE HOPE THAT THE NON MALAY POLITICAL LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS WILL STOP THEIR ‘CAKAP BODOH’COZ THE TRUE MALAY/MUSLIM CANNOT ‘DIPERBODOHKAN’ ALTHOUGH WE MUST ADMIT THEY ARE ALSO ‘MUNAFIK’ MALAY/MUSLIM WHO FORGOT THEIR ‘ROOTS’ AND ‘KIBLAT’.
PERHAPS IT IS A WISHFUL THINKING OF ‘SAMURAIMELAYU’ BUT IF GOD WILLING AND CHINA AND INDIA DO CREATE HISTORY OF A MUSLIM PRESIDENT/PREMIER, WE WUD (IF STILL ALIVE) CAMPAIGN TILL WE ‘DROP DEAD’ TO SEE THAT ONG TEE KIAT DREAM OF THE FIRST NON-MALAY PRIME MINISTER OF THIS BELOVED NATION CALLED MALAYSIA BE REALISED!
FAIR CHANCE, AIN’T IT?.. OR WAS IT FAT?
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
ps.Potential candidates wanting to be the first non Malay Prime Minister of Malaysia must have atleast RM1.0 billion(as ‘tender’ money) to have a fair chance to get enough nominations to be elected. all ‘tender’ monies are not refundable but will be contributed to ‘YAYASAN PENGGADAIAN MARUAH MELAYU/MUSLIM’ AND WILL BE DISTRIBUTED EQUALLY TO ALL RAKYAT MELAYU INCLUDING THOSE IN PENANG, KEDAH, PERAK, SELANGOR AND KELANTAN AND OF COURSE TO INCLUDE THE SACKED MALAY/MUSLIM JUDGES.
Well,
Presidents come and go, but the paymaster remains. BTW who was the new White House Chief Of Staff For Elected President Obama again? Oh Ya the Rahm I. Emanuel, what is his middle name again? And who was his father?
I guess it is just a New face but same people running the show.
Most likely they(the US) will remain as a proxy after all.
“By Way Of Deception, ……….”
Salam Tun,
I wish all the best to Obama. Like Azhar Abdullah, I would prefer to read your comments on the following:-
1) ex-gratia payment of RM10.5 mil paid out to the sacked judges.
2) Datuk Mukhriz’s interview – The Star (8th Nov. 2008) on being the next Youth Chief.
Would appreciate if you could share your view on those issue. It would be more interesting and more you.
Take care. Cheers Dear Sir.
Salam Tun
selama 23 tahun Tun semasa menjadi PM Malaysia, banyak juga melawat ke negara ain di dunia. saya yakin dengan pandangan Tun dari segi ini. tetapi banyak juga rakyat Malaysialand dalam comment sini masih bagai “katak dalam tempurong”…….
Malaysia has had a Chinese-Malay mix Prime Minister already. Though not a very good one, we beat the Americans to it.
In fact, we have even had a Prime Minister with Indian Muslim ancestry.
Ahmad Khalil Ali
Morning Sir
Only after 232 years of independence will a black ascend to the Oval Office and this after a long hard journey. Segregation only ended in the 60s and the achievement of Mr. Obama is thus shared by every living soul in this world who love justice.
To me. Obama’s success are due to a lot of factors, namely being a black, his god given ability of being an excellent orator delivering excellent and captivating speeches, millions of dollars of campaign money at his disposal at a ratio of 4:1 compared to Mr.McCain and most importantly the 28 years of blunder of the Republicans in office especially during the terms of the father and son of Mr. Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.
I reserve my judgement on Obama till I see results which I don’t expect in the near future as what he inherits is massive and he underline this in his victory message that he may not fulfilled his pledges in his first term of office.
Most of us are captivated by the commanding speeches of politicians like Mr. Obama and like any politicians, they promise us of a bright future, etc. BUT can they deliver them all. Local politician Fuad Hassan during a talk-show on ASTRO recently mention that every politician seeks power and most when achieving them tend to forget on their promises.
The success of Obama is a warning to our local politicians. Don’ sit and gloat on your success. The people especially the voters today are more matured and demanding and want noting but the BEST and this has been conveyed in the last election. Obama relied on the young voters who came out in the millions. Young voters today don’t look on the man’s skin, race or religion cos they are more open compared to our forefathers. So my advice to our politicians, BEWARE and WAKE-UP, cos the people are watching you especially your uncalled ethics in parliament. Don’t argue for the sake of arguing, accept criticism and if the opposition gives good proposal, accept them. Remember that many of your proposals and projects have ended up in failure. Don’t play on racial sentiments cos it can lead to disaster. Do Obama did cos he was able to unit the Americans, whether he is black, white, Hispanic, Jews, Asians, etc.
Tun, Sir, why is it that people like to nominate the children or relatives ( son-in law included) of a leader to lead and be successful in politics. This is not only happening in Malaysia, but all over the world especially in Asia. Just look at India, North Korea, Singapore. Isn’t there a lot of better citizens that can take the reign of power.
In Malaysia, we have Abdullah, Najib, Hishamuddin, Hamid Akbar, KJ, etc. All names mentioned are performing well below par and should never have been nominated at all. They never give in-depth studies to their policies and tend to implement things at the spur of the moment for the sake of being popular for the day. Everything that they touch tend to end up in disaster. They will never be like their fathers. To me they had brought shame to their father. I hope for your sake, your son Mukhriz will not be categorised together with them. Please guide him to be a good leader and lead Malaysia back to the glory days where you had left it.
Lastly, I hope that the delegates to the coming UMNO election will take note of Obama’s victory to select the best candidate for the job. Throw away all the bad apples ( and there are many ) reject money politic ( cos the money given will only last a couple of hours or days).
Remember, it is Country first.
God Bless You and Family and Our Beloved Malaysia.
hmm… ya they have multicolor presidents.. bila pula giliran malaysia ada multicolor top government post?? i’m wondering…
yes, they have racist people all around but they finally break through the first barrier. if there’s once, there’ll be more. we just need to get used to ‘diff color rulers’. malaysia ar… dunno when only will get used to lah.

Di Malaysia, Tuhan memberi kita seorang pemimpin bernama Mahathir yang diberi izin oleh Allah untuk memerintah selama 23 tahun untuk memajukan negara ini. Banyak cabaran dan halangan ditempuhi oleh Tun dalam tempuh 23 tahun itu tapi Tun diberi bantuan oleh Allah sehingga dapat bertahan selama 23 tahun. Malaysia mencipta nama di persada dunia. Harap kita semua dapat menghargai jasa Tun.

KOMEN Awang dalam Utusan Malaysia dalam ruangan BISIK-BISIK akhbar itu mengenai keghairahan sesetengah pihak yang mengaitkan rakyat minoriti di Malaysia boleh jadi PM menarik untuk direnung bersama.
Berikut adalah komen Awang:
KEMENANGAN Obama sebagai Presiden AS terus menjadi bahan bualan hangat seluruh dunia termasuk Malaysia.
Cuma Awang tidak selesa dengan analisis tertentu yang mengaitkan pemilihan warga kulit hitam pertama sebagai Presiden AS itu dengan politik Malaysia.
Sudah kedengaran suara pemimpin bukan Melayu yang mahukan bukan Melayu diberi peluang menjadi Perdana Menteri.
Dalam kita mengakui bahawa politik negara mempunyai banyak ruang untuk berubah, ia tidak bermakna kita harus menerima senario AS.
KAJILAH sejarah AS dan budaya politik Amerika yang sudah merdeka lebih `232 tahun
Nah he cant do much, cause its simple, hes a white guy with black skin just like michael jackson. Have u guys noticed hes friends, advisors, strategists are 90% white?
For performance wise, i think he can do quite ok in foreign policy cause hes black, hes ancestors are slaves etc to the white, so he can be quite appealing to other emerging markets like asian or middle east. Cause most of the ppl from emerging markets especially middle easts or asians still have this thing about white guys being bully or invaders (so they have this paranoia and abit cautious when dealing with white guys especially from america nowadays). In short he might be able to sell American foreign policy to these guys (emerging markets)effectively. And he can play pivotal role in re-promoting American businesses globally since with bad image caused by Bush.
For economy, Tun is right, he going to have a hard time, do hope that American people dont punish him if he fails though cause damage done is not from him. And i do hope ppl dont stereo type his failures (if only fails) cause hes black.
And finally i do hope Anwar dont use this “change” in America as his political mileage to promote himself. Cause that is ultimately lame. By the way, have i mentioned hes actually a mix (bi-racial)? And again i still think he is a white guy with black skin just like michael jackson syndrome.
Dear Tun,
I believe many UTUSAN readers can still remember cartoonist Maro’s comment through one of his ‘Mamak Cyber’ sketches several years ago:
“CLINTON jadi Presiden rakyat Palestin kena KELENTONG. AL-GORE jadi Presiden rakyat Palestin kena GORENG. BUSH jadi Presiden rakyat Palestin kena REBUS.”
If the above trend follows, “OBAMA jadi Presiden rakyat Palestin kena BOM!”
Let’s hope Obama can really make the ‘CHANGE’. He must remember his ROOT more than the FRUIT that he is now.
Dear Tun, salam sejahtera moga sihat dan bahagia. Minta izin…
…..COLOUR OF A LEADER
Lebih makna disoal peribadi, jati diri, perbuatan pemimpin dari memandang warna kulitnya. Remember Mao Zi Dong’s words. ‘It does not matter its a WHITE cat or a BLACK cat,if it catches mice it is a GOOD cat’
Apa pentingnya bangsa pemimpin selagi dia bersih cekap amanah (bukan kata Tun) dan adil saksama. Why focus on colour not conduct. Martin Luther King wisely said, judge a person by the content of character not colur of skin.
…..MEREBUT NIKMAT
Pasal bangsa PM just remember the song lyrics(Que Sera Sera), ‘whatever will be will be’ Tak payah gaduh. Nak dapat sesuatu dari orang bukan dgn mencungkil dari genggamannya, tapi dgn membuka mata saudaranya. Berebut dgn yg degil tak akan berhasil. Contoh isu Ahmad Ismail, Zakaria Deros, Uitm.
Kalau kita menghentam,bergelut dgn mrk dipandang kita melawan, mencabar bangsa mrk. Biar dia naik lemak, berdempap kelak bila dia tersungkur. Kita cari orang yg se nasib dgn kita. Banyak saudara Melayu yg malang mcm kita tak dapat keistimewaan (jangan cari dlm blog ini, memang tak ada. Kat Pas PKR mungkin ada sikit)
Kita tunjuk mrk apa kepakaran Ahmad Ismail, berjaya sampai rumah besar berkolam renang diroboh dan bina semula. Apa kemahiran Zakaria (jaga pintu keretapi) sampai membina istana terbaru Kelang. Apa kekurangan naib canselor Uitm sampai anak anaknya boleh belajar di Uitm. Miskin tak mampu kah dia? Tak malu! (Dia sendiri akui anak belajar situ di R24) Lanun lanun saja yg mengambil dari orang untuk kesenangan, kemewahan sendiri.
Lihat apa mrk buat. Nikmat bukan dikongsi dgn meluangkan peluang, derma, bantuan pada bangsanya sendiri. Dia melaung laung Melayu tergadai, merempat dibumi sendiri, orang menghina, Jews..dll.
Kita buka mata pak cik, mak cik di kampung, Sabah dan S’wak. Jangan soal tangan Melayu atau apa, kalau tangan kotor jangan jabat.
…..PEJUANG BANGSA?
Pejuang bangsa sejati menabur balik kekayaan selagi ada bangsanya yg malang, menanggung beban sendiri demi memberi peluang pada bangsanya yg lain. Bukan dah bolot untuk diri, minta lagi untuk anak cucu. Contoh bapa dulu dapat biasiswa, berjawatan tinggi, skrg menuntut tempat untuk anaknya. Tak sanggup bayar sendiri di IPTS??? Tamaknya manusia!
Salam Tun,
Do you think Malaysia is ready for a change to accept minority to be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia as declared by Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi?
Thanks & have a good weekend Tun..
Mr Obama is very close to the zionist, and he may continue Bush policy of oppressing Muslims in the middle east. He elected Rahm Emanuel, (son of an active zionist member) as the Head of the White house staff. This jew practice usury, make millions working in an invstment bank in NY, support the invasion of Iraq and champion the state of Israel.
Rahm Israel Emanuel (born November 29, 1959) is an American politician who has been a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives since 2003, representing Illinois’s 5th congressional district, which covers much of the north side of Chicago On November 6, 2008, Emanuel accepted an offer from President-elect Barack Obama to become the White House Chief of Staff in Obama’s administration.
His father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and former member of the Irgun,[10][9] a militant Zionist group active in the British Mandate of Palestine between 1931 and 1948.
Following the end of the Clinton presidency, Emanuel went into investment banking, reportedly earning $8 million in his three years as managing director of Wasserstein Perella & Co./Dresdner Kleinwort.[6][19]
Emanuel is a strong supporter of AIPAC, and personally introduced fellow Chicagoan Barack Obama to the organization’s directors during the 2008 presidential campaign.
During his original 2002 campaign, Emanuel “indicated his support of Bush’s position on Iraq.
Salam Tun
A minor correction if you would permit me. A presidential term is only 4 years and not 5. Just a minor oversight of yours no doubt. Anyway I do agree with you that ‘ a change is easily said than done”. There will be high expectation for president elect Obama to turn things around and should he fail, well…let’s just say ‘good luck’ to him for now. The election itself signifies a new dawn, a new hope and that what Dr Luther King could only have dream 4 decades ago have actually taken place now. It intrigues however that ‘change’ as what Obama preaches have even reach our shores. The opposition seems to use that word quite a lot but what kind of change would they want to see in Malaysia that would make us better of?
Oh by the way, now we can all wish President Bush “Godspeed”
A black American President can only happen in United States. The white Yanks/ American were racist in the past, far worse than Malaysia. However, over the years they grew more matured and the ideology of skin colour slowly fades. Majority of them now look at American as an american and they are proud to be one nation.
Looking back at Malaysia, this incident will never happen at least for another century. Our mentality is still way back and racism issue is still posing a major problem to us. Well, this should not have happen after all in a Muslim country as Islam promotes equality among human kind.
Should one day when we can have a non Malay as a prime minister, I strongly agree that he or she MUST be Muslim as we are an Islamic country.
Dear Tun,
1. Please comment about the Malaysia Government finally let Raja Petra Kamaruddin RPK of Malaysia Today release from ISA detention.
I do not believe RPK can leave if there is no instruction from the top to release. After all, Malaysia Judicial independence from government control has been questioned.
2. Timing just after Yang Berhormat won the presidency. Maybe lah want RPK to do his work. Maybe premier league want RPK to help a bit.
Thank you.
Salam Tun,
Congratulation to Obama.
He is the great men. Mostly all over web community around the globe support him as the president. he is one of the most influence men in the world for this decade. McCain is very funny guy. He is not enough challenge to Obama. You can see a lot of Mccain campaign in youtube is likely to hate Obama policies. There is no something new to his campaign. However Obama campaign is more to the new policies with a great inpiration.
lot of american want the change, now they have show to the world.
Bush admin have destroy the american economy and make muslim and hated to the world. The recession will come around the clock.
Obama came as the hope of every american to recover the economy.
We hope he will do the right way for all of us and world!
Welcome for new president of american.
THis is great era of change.
One day of sure this change can be happen in Malaysia.

THAT THEY ARE A SUPPRESSED IMMIGRANT RACE AND TREATED LIKE A PEASANT(PARIAH) IN THIS LAND OF THE KETUANAN MELAYU?

DID THE KETURUNAN MELAYU WELCOME THESE UNGRATEFUL IMMIGRANTS INTO THEIR ‘FAMILY’ IN THE FIRST PLACE ONLY TO BE STEPPED ON THE HEAD AFTER JUST OVER 50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE?. THE MELAYU LEADERS SHOULD HAVE PUT THEIR FOOT DOWN THERE AND THEN AND CONTINUE TO GIVE THOSE IMMIGRANT WORKERS THE SAME TREATMENT THEY RECEIVED FROM THEIR BRITISH MASTERS.

Salam Tun,
Minta izin Tun…
Kepada S.Tan,
1. Wow! memang hebat jika menggunakan perkataan2 yang bombastik. kesaksamaan, persaudaraan, globalisation, race supermacy etc. Benar, tak salah… Manusia memang begitu, bila tergolong dalam bangsa yang SENANG akan mudah saja bercakap soal2 kesaksamaan, keadilan dan sebagainya. Nak jadi hero la katakan.
2. Realitinya kita tidak sama level…padang pun tak sama. Jangan buta sejarah. Orang cina dan india punya civilisation yang hebat, beribu tahun dahulu, jauh lebih establish berbanding dengan Orang Melayu.
3. Sebab tu lah, bila mereka berhijrah contohnya ke Singapura, mudah saja mereka mencipta kejayaan dan “menawan serta menjajah Singapura” dari pribumi Melayu yang masih KUNO ketika itu (Malang sekali bagi Melayu Singapura kerana mereka sesetengahnya masih tidak sedar yang mereka sedang dijajah semuanya gara-gara doktorin meritokrasi! Maaf kepada Melayu Singapura, bukan nak keterlaluan tapi realiti tersebut amat pahit untuk ditelan).
4. Kesaksamaan! Ye la, anda berada di pihak yang ada “advantage”, senang la nak cakap. S.Tan, andalah “dinasour” yang sebenar-benarnya dan bukannya Tun Dr Mahathir!. Saya amat kecil hati dengan tuduhan tersebut…
5. Maka, dinasihatkan kepada S. Tan supaya mohon maaf kepada Tun dan bloggers yang lain atas tulisan yang amat cetek pemikiran tersebut.
Tun yang dikasihi,
5. Andalah sebenar-benarnya pejuang, kalu tak kerana karisma dan pandangan jauh Tun, tentu kami jadi seperti Singapura. Bumiputra sebenarnya bukan tidak pandai, cuma mereka perlu masa. Jika diberi peluang dan ruang serta sabar dalam mendidik, mereka pasti amat berjaya dan dapat bersaing dengan bangsa-bangsa lain di dunia.
Sekian.
Salam Tun & all,
Yes, Congrats to Obama,
Only time will tell,
I also believe that our next PM can be a non-malay,sure why not?!
But, of course he/she will have to be a muslim.
This is a islamic country after all.
Have a nice weekend TUN.
Tun,
I believe it the same chess board, only this time the king is different, hopefully he also at different side.
I think we need to introduce our “Congkak” to them.
hmm … nampaknya komen-komen yg tepat menuju ke kelemahan disekat dari dipaparkan …
sekarang barulah ku faham … apa itu … siapa makan cili, dia rasa pedas
Salam to ayahanda TUN.
1. Tak tahu samaada nak ucap tahniah atau tak to Obama. Takut perangai sama macam presiden2 sebelumnya. Asyik serang negara lain terutama Islamic/Arab. Baru jadi calon dah pergi mengadap PM Isreal.
2.The 1st black, or to me the 1st partly original race i.e the black from Africa are the original race in human history. Obama is part white and black.
3.To have the 1st non malay PM saya rasa situasi tidak akan sama di Malaysia, kerana kita masih dipisahkan oleh sistem persekolahan dan lain2 perkara.Further more kena tengok 1st Malay jadi PM India or PM Singapura baru kita bagi peluang to our friend here.
4.America are being control by a board of directors and shareholder. The president is only the CEO, the board consist of Jew/Isreal/zionis etc. Since Obama is the 1st non white, lepas ni the Jew pulak akan jadi president (Mark my word) and Muslim nations and the Arabs better watchout… salah sikit kena bom.
Salam
An outgoing Aussie Premier once remarked :
‘LIFE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE EASY.’
I guess it’s true.
Obama will realise the obstacles ahead when he sits in the most powerful office in the world.
Hopefully his marketing slogan for change is for the better, not the same or worse.
Let’s just see.
A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.
YBhg Tun,
It brought a tear to my eyes listening to Obama’s acceptance speech bcos it shows the global values he holds dear & the intelligence within. He is President for all!!
When are we able to find a leader who can lead us out of this racial coccoon that will slowly but surely bring us doom?? What will we leave for our next few generations?? I fear to think what our legacy will be??
Salam Tun,
1. Kemenangan Obama seolah-olah beri inspirasi pada cina untuk jadi PM di Malaysia pada satu hari nanti. Cita-cita mereka nampak besar. Cuba baca blog LKS, bukan saja PM, dah lama penyokong2 LKS berangan untuk dapat post DPM jika PR menang.
2. Impian mereka boleh terlaksana, tak mustahil sebab populatiaon cina 28% adalah lebih besar, berbanding dengan 13% black american. Lagipun mereka menguasai ekonomi dan bidang pelajaran tidak seperti black american. So chances mereka lebih baik.
3. Oleh itu, kami mohon Tun beri tunjuk ajar dan nasihat serta strategi bagaimana:
a. Memperkasa kuasa ekomomi Bumiputra. Maklumlah kami ni asalnya
golongan petani miskin, berniaga bukan budaya kami.
b. Majukan pelajaran Bumiputra. Kesan 500 tahun dijajah telah
memberi kesan yang bukan sedikit terhadap minda, perlakuan dan
cara hidup kami.
c. Nak kekalkan dan kukuhkan kuasa politik Bumiputra di Malaysia.
d. “Dapatkan” kembali Pulau Pinang. Asalnya Pulau Pinang adalah
perkampungan Melayu, tapi kini jadi “Tanah Besar Cina”.
4. Tolonglah Tun, saya percaya inilah suara hati ramai Bumiputra di Malaysia. Bagi orang-orang kampung yang naif seperti kami,pemimpin seperti Tun lah harapan kami. Kami tidak ingin dijajah di tanah air sendiri…sedih.
Sekian, Wasallam.
Greetings Tun,
wonder whether you agree that any malaysian may become the PM of malaysia or do you think that the social contract forbids it and makes it the sole right of a malay.
really interested in your views sir.
Wow, RM 5 million dollar Lord President. Saya sebagai pembayar cukai tak halalkan duit tu.
Tun dah dedahkan dalam blognya apa punca sebenarnya Tun Saleh Abbas kena pecat. Kalau lupa lihat balik blog Tun. Kan ada cerita pasal satu warkah Tun Salleh utuskan kepada YDP Agong komplen pasal bunyi bising renovaton istana . Tapi media cetak kita yang bacul tak ulaskan pun cerita tu.
Apa pun izinkan saya ulaskan sikit cerita nak menambahbaik sistem kehakiman yang dicanaang -canangkan oleh Pak Lah dan mantan menteri Zaid Ibrahim. Minta maap le kalau panjang sikit.
Ramai rakyat Malaysia kecewa dan malu dengan Pak Lah apabila Tan Sri Zaki Azmi ( TZA ) dilantik menjadi Ketua Hakim Negara yang baru. Ramai yang beri komen negatif atas perlantikan ini.
Rakyat masih ingat TZA pernah menggemparkan umum dengan cerita
Selamat petang Tun,
Congratulations! Mr Obama.
Will the world be a better place to live???? I doubt so.
Obama menang kerana rakyat Amerika benci Bush, jadi McCaine, Repulican kalah lah, bukan Obama atau Democratic bagus. Siapa menang, sama juga. Obama dah buat panggilan kepada 9 negara, tapi Malaysia, China dan India tidak ada kat list ini. Jadi buat apa kita nak heboh2kan kemenangan Obama. Just wish him Good Luck to show our courtesy, that’s all. Janganlah bahaskan kes ini sebagai contoh di Parlimet.
Fikirlah apa Tun nak sampai kat kita:-
1. Dinar emas, an monetary instrument that Malaysia should implement, safe and relevant though cannot get great returns, at least tak ada tipu2 macam Amerika dan cronies nya.
2. Solid waste negara kita dah sampai tahap teruk, jadi Solid Waste 2007 Act patuh dilaksanakan. Tetapi susah jugak nak dilaksanakan kerana pembangkang kata kerajaan negerinya tak nak bebankan rakyat, jadi tidak support Act ini just to buat rakyat happy je….
Our local front:
“Anyone can be PM” – Headline from Star paper can stir our attention-lah, especially from the educated batch who favors western idea (FREEDOM). Aiyah, headline sahaja mah, just to attract circulation lah, furthermore, it’s from Pak Lah, tak apa lah, dia kata apa2, biarlah, kan dia dipaksa untuk berehat lebih awal. Sebelum dia turun, kena buat sikit2 demokrasi untuk layakkan diri jadi Bapa Demokrasi. Tapi, Pak Lah kau dah luluskan RM10.5 juta kat the ex-judges, I btuil tak suka lah, kan mereka ada pension, tak adil lah. Dear Zaid Ibrahim, you dapat berapa komisyen?
Tun keep writing, this is moderato.
P/S: To those bloggers, who are column writers from chinese newspapers, please read carefully what Tun wrote in his articles, and do not try to edit Tun’s article just to “syok” yourself and readers. Moreover, majority of the chinese educated “rakyat” do not baca BM and BI. Please write what is true and Tun Mahathir is not somebody whom you can use to fan RACISM FOR the benefit of MCA, Gerakan and DAP!!!!
Dear Tun, salam sejahtera moga sentiasa sihat dan gembira.Minta izin..
…..PLAYING OLD MUSIC (NOSTALGIC but no MAGIC)
Tun memang mempamir pendirian bahawa rakyat M’sia berpegang kuat dgn sifat perkauman. Tindak tanduk, pendapat Tun berdasarkan sifat ikut kaum menebal ini. Pemimpin dulu dan skrg yg mendorong, menggalak, membarakan sifat ini. Dah lebih 60 thn(sejak Malayan Union) ini berjalan. Tun antara dinosaur (banyak masih berleluasa) berpegang pada konsep ini.
Saya kata dinosaur krn US dan Barack Obama dah mulakan ‘timer’ countdown tarikh pelupusan spesis ini di M’sia. Its a matter of time! Supremacists will find it harder to justify their stand in face of overwhelming support and goodwill for equality with this global trend unleashed in US(Obama) India (Manmohan Singh) Argentina(Fujimori) Thailand(Thaksin)
Golongan muda akan tertarik dgn kemurnian perjuangan berupa kemanusiaan dan persaudaraan sejagat. The signals are here in M’sia…Siapa dulu dia dapat ke hulu.
…..CHANGE WITHIN MAJORITY, NOT FORCED BY MINORITY
Rakyat akan berubah kalau ada pemimpin membuka jalan baru. Pemimpin zaman Tun semua berbau perkauman (tapi selindung belakang nationalism) Mrk tak ada wawasan untuk bangsa, negara yg baru, kecuali undi kaum sendiri.
Dah ada golongan baru bersandarkan perjuangan adil saksama berbilang bangsa. Mrk akan menarik minda rakyat dgn kesucian, kemurnian, kemuliaan nilai adil saksama, kemanusiaan, sekutu setaraf.
Perjalanan ini akan penuh dgn liku liku tapi tetap akan tercapai. They are visionary, pioneering and bold. Mrk perintis minda terbuka, peneroka alam baru, berani berwawasan. Siapa tak nak berubah akan ketinggalan zaman.
…..LIHAT SEKELILING
UN,WTO,North South dialogue,globalisation,borderless world are all quests for equality,level playing field and removing barriers of status, class, colour or creed. M’sia wants to remain a country of supremacist race or supremacist humans. The world is uniting into global citizens, Msia is racialising its citizens.
dear Tun and mum yg dihormati.
Sebelum dan selepas TUN, there is no PM as talented as you. I grow up when mum siti hasmah was the first lady of malaysia, and i also say that there will be no passionate and caring first lady like her.
I dh baca bnyk komen dlm nie. everyone is fighting and bickering abt race. shame on u all.grow up please.The politicians are laughing as long as we the rakyat are like this. This is what they want, MCA MIC and UMNO would love to see us killing each other on the streets due to racial differences. Thats how they divide and rule us for 50 years like stupid cows.
Ong, Samy and Abdullah will say anything to lip service their particular race becoz thats all they do to keep their respective race supporters in leash like dogs. Do u see a common chinese or indian or malay behave or act like waht the politicians potray?no, we common people are very understanding and caring and friendly towards each other. So why wana get mad listening to this insignificant hoodlums in our life and quarrel with each other?
I dont want to moot the idea of a non malay PM in malaysia. for all i care, i want the selection of PM for our beloved country is done by all the people of malaysia. Thats not happening rite now.
Obama win because he is talented,highly credible and because he has no skeleton in his closet. Just imagine how the white supremacist would have digged deeper and deeper just to derail a black guy standing for senate in 2004, they failed and he became the youngest senator.
Then when he is nominated for president, just imagine how deeper and deepest they would have digged to get anything that could be used to tarnish and taint his credibility. In a country where your private life and family members are put under the spotlight thoroughly once you are running for public office, i bet u :
NOT EVEN 1 GUY FROM OUR PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WILL EVEN MAKE IT TO A MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OFFICE IN USA.
I believe Obama will prevail and persevere with flying colours because he is really talented and highly motivated and most importantly, he has the highest credibility to be in the highest office in the land.
Dont want to elaborate more. I just want my leader to be picked up and appointed after going thru what Obama had gone thru. Only then they will cherish the chair and for all the pain and hardwork and mud slinging he has gone thru before and during the election, I believe Obama knows how to treasure the position he has earned and he will definitly live up to the american peoples expectations.
That is how our TUN also got his post and u look at his achievements.and TUN knows how true am i for wht he went thru before he could be our PM.
Unlike here, the PM post are given in a silver platter and guess what?now the trends are its inherited by those who are born with a friggin silver spoon in their friggin mouth.Credibility?talent?do UMNO care abt it? no they dont.UMNO have been given the main contract to choose our PM and the sub con MIC and MCA and etc just have to comply and kowtow.But even UMNO members got no say, all is endorsed by their high flying, like minded,tainted division heads.
So dont have any expectations if you dont want to end up with a heartbreak.
Kenyataannya 99.9 % pemimpin UMNO sekarang bersikap seperi bush angkuh dan sombong serta kurang ajar. nantilah waktu kejatuhan UMNO seperi kejatuhan bush,Insaflah sebelom terlambat jika tidak umno hanya ntinggal dalam sejarah sebuah parti melayu yg tak berguna lagi.
Salam Tun,
1. Fakta about Obama is the 1 st black American president- tak tepat, dia mix, ibunya white. Patut ke keturunan seseorang dilabelkan berdasarkan keturunan bapanya sahaja?
2. Ulasan kepada president MCA- beri 3 sebab kenapa orang Melayu patut sokong cina/india sebagai PM di Malaysia. Mereka juga jika bercakap asyik atas kepentingan kaum sendiri…
3. Kita telah dijajah sejak tahun 1511 (lebih kurang 500 tahun). Baru merdeka 50 tahun. Orang Melayu baru jadi PM 50 tahun, langsung tak berpadan dengan 500 tahun tersebut. Kita orang Melayu patut bersatu dan pastikan sekurang-kurangnya 500 tahun kita pegang negara ini. Setuju tak?
4. 500 tahun dijajah adalah jangkamasa yang lama. Bukan setakat fizikal, tetapi minda dan fikiran rakyat jua dijajah. Bukan senang nak bangkit semula, kita terpaksa menukar generasi untuk melahirkan Melayu yang dinamik, berpelajaran dan berdaya saing tinggi. Kita baru nak bangkit…tiba-tiba ada orang datang dengan idea PM dari kaum lain. Paling sedih AAB tak dapat jawab dengan baik…
5. Jangan kata PM dari kaum lain, Kita orang Melayu patut memperhebatkan sifat tolong bangsa sendiri seperti beri peluang pelajaran yang luas pada orang Melayu. Dalam aspek ini patut tiada tolak ansur langsung. Cuba gi ke kampung, anda pasti sedih dengan tahap pendidikan anak-anak kita!
Sekian.

Salam Tun,
May u n ur family dirahmati Allah selalu.
Many have comment on obama’s victory, hopefully he is able to bring changes.
Rakyat biasa like me, honestly not so thrilled whoever wins the seat of America’s presidency.
Yg lebih utama nak lihat the smooth transistion period and halatuju yg akan dimainkan oleh Dato’Sri Najib dlm pembangunan dan kemajuan ekonomi negara.
dear TUN,
tak lama lagi,malaysia plak nk sambut our new PM……excited sangat2 bcos our current PM nk step down….
Assalamualaikum.
Maaf kerana saya melencong sikit daripada isu President Amerika yang dibincangkan ini. Tentang bolehkah kaum lain menjadi PM Malaysia, ingin saya mengulasnya berdasarkan pengetahuan dan pandangan saya yang dangkal ini.
Secara umum mengikut Perlembagaan Malaysia tiada halangan tetapi berdasarkan senario politik, sosial dan ekonomi sekarang saya berpendapat ianya sukar dalam masa terdekat ini. Bukan ingin mengeruhkan keadaan tetapi biarlah kita bersikap rasional kerana komposisi Melayu dan Bumiputera jauh lebih besar berbanding kaum lain. Perjuangan politik perkauman ini memainkan peranan besar menghalang kaum bukan Melayu menjadi PM. Sebagai Negara Islam, PM Malaysia mestilah beragama Islam, disini ada kelonggaran bagi kaum bukan Melayu menjadi PM tetapi mestilah mendapat sokongan orang Melayu. Jika individu tersebut seorang Muslim yang baik saya yakin orang Melayu mampu menerimanya kerana antara Melayu dan Islam, biasanya Melayu akan mengutamakan Islam walaupun ada sedikit syak wasangka. Faktor ekonomi juga amat penting kerana selagi orang Melayu tidak mendapat peluang yang sama rata dalam perniagaan, pada pandangan saya mereka tidak akan melepaskan kerusi PM ini.
Diskriminasi dalam perniagaan dan perkongsian ekonomi antara kaum Melayu dan bukan Melayu amat ketara pada masa kini. Walaupun ramai peniaga Mealayu mendapat kontrak kerajaan tetapi mereka gagal mendapat keuntungan yang sewajarnya kerana pengilang dan pemborong menekan mereka dengan harga yang tinggi kerana rantaian perniagaan telah dikuasai oleh kaum lain. Mereka hilang kuasa tawar-menawar kerana diskriminasi harga oleh pengilang dan pemborong. Akibatnya mereka gagal dan dituduh tidak cekap dan malas. Persoalannya disini adakah kaum lain boleh melayan peniaga Melayu tanpa diskriminasi? Bukan ingin menimbulkan polemik tetapi inilah realitinya dan inilah salah satu sebab kenapa sasaran DEB gagal di capai. Memanglah diakui juga bahawa Melayu biasanya mudah mengalah, lemah semangat dan kurang ilmu perniagaan, ini diburukkan lagi oleh sikap yang sentiasa mengharapkan bantuan dan subsidi kerajaan. Penyelewengan pegawai kerajaan yang kebanyakannya Melayu juga menyumbang kepada kegagalan ini. Mereka mengkhianati amanah dan menyebabkan ramai Melayu menderita dan kecewa. Kerajaan yang memerintah juga menerima kesan perbuatan mereka ini.
Sistem pendidikan juga memainkan peranan besar untuk mengwujudkan keadaan harmoni dan saling memahami antara kaum. Pengasingan kaum berdasarkan pekerjaan dan pendidikan ini diwarisi oleh penjajah dan diteruskan hingga kehari ini kerana kepentingan politik pihak-pihak yang tertentu. Rasanya sudah tiba masanya kita bertindak menghapuskan sistem ini agar pada satu masa nanti kita semua rakyat Malaysia boleh berdiri sama tinggi dan duduk sama rendah tanpa mengira warna kulit. Islam adalah agama yang tidak memandang warna kulit, pada waktu itu maka tiada masalah jika kaum lain menjadi PM. Tolak ansur dalam politik dan ekonomi ini amat penting untuk menjamin keamanan Negara ini.
Tun.
Tahniah untuk Obama. Semoga USA akan segerakan pemulihan ekonomi nya.Dan membawa keamanan seluruh dunia.Make peace no more war…..
Tahniah lah jugak pada Salleh Abas and co. Dapat Ex Gratia. Banyak tu..Pencen lagi dapat. Ada ramai rakyat Malaysia kena pecat kerja langsung tak dapat apa2 pun.Memang perihatin sungguh kerajaan Malaysia.
Kita rakyat Malaysia kena tunggu dulu sehingga March o9 baru tau siapa jadi PM. Confom ke Najib jadi PM?? Atau orang lain.Mana lah tau…
Kaum lain di Malaysia ni pun bolih jadi PM.(Rujuk kata Pak Lah) Tapi pendapat saya mesti lah ada kritria nya. Tunjuk lah dulu taat setia pada negara. Jangan lah ingatkan kehebatan bangsa dan negara asal datuk nenek mereka. Berbangga lah mengaku “Saya bangsa Malaysia”. Cakap bangsa Malaysia (melayu) Makan minum,budaya pun kena lah ikut cara Malaysia. Dan kena lah tunggu PM yang ke 44 baru lah bolih menawarkan diri.Sekarang baru yang ke 6. Kalau boleh tu kahwin lah dengan melayu dan anak2 tu lah yang akan ada peluang nanti. Nama pun kena lah tukar Osman Ong Tan Kuat.Atau Anuar Sam Velu.
Semasa Obama berucap sulung kemenangan nya dihadapan penyokong2 malam itu. Penyokong2 dan rakyat Amerika melaungkan kata “YES!WE CAN” berulang2 kali. Bunyi macam “Malaysia Boleh” jer…Tiru kita kot..
Dear Tun,
Mohon tumpang lalu kejap…
To V9179, hey man, u r really sick. Komen u selalu negative. Pegi main jauh-jauh laaa. We don’t need a person like u around.
Tun,
Maaf ya, orang macam ni la sebenarnya yang tak reti hidup aman damai. Nak kondem orang je. Bosan sungguh.
salam Tun,
Obama needs to be congratulated or his achievement of becoming the 1st Black President of the US after 232 years of independence.
There are people that asked why cant a Chinese or an Indian or other races become the first non-Malay PM in our 51 year history?
Comparatively, it is due to our country being at least 4 times younger than the US and less matured, we have a lot more diaversity in races, culture and religion. The Americans eventhough are made of various races of immigrants from all over the world,are better assimilated as one race than what we have in Malaysia. Barrack Obama eventhough of mixed parentage of Kenyan father, he has a white mother, speaks fluent high level English, a Christian and lives like a normal American. In Malaysia, some of the Chinese and Indian politicians cannot even speak the National Language – Malay properly(no offence but it is a fact!). These races still demand their own Chinese schools, Tamil schools instead of sending them to the Sekolah Kebangsaan where they can mix with other races and assimilate. Indonesia is doing a better job at creating a Bangsa Indonesia. Most Chinese immigrants there have assumed local names and speak fluent Bahasa Indonesia except a few small groups. After some time they behave and think like an Indonesian,
We in Malaysian while holding dear to our origin and culture which is not wrong, have not shown enough commitment to assimilate and become the Bangsa Malaysia the politicians are talking about. Until we past this point where we feel as a Malaysian first and a Malay, Chinese and Indian race second, i dont think we are ready to the Barrack Obama phenomenon.
The problem in Malaysia is 60% of the population of 27million are Muslim Malay and they would like to see the PM coming from among them having the same religion. Now the best i can see Malaysia can accept is a candidate of mixed parentage of a Muslim Malay father/mother and Chinese or Indian father/mother who practices Islam as his religion and can speak fluent Bahasa Malaysia. This is exactly the mold represents by Barrack Obama. I dont think if he were a pure African Muslim, he will become the President of US. This is reality. We can dream but i think we have to wait longer and be more matured. After all it took the US people 232 years to accept this big change.
For the Chinese and Indian who are offended by this writing i apologise in advance, the truth is sometimes very hard to swallow.
Salam Tun
Now which is a real racist country – America or Malaysia? Can’t imagine in Malaysia we’ll ever have a Chinese or Indian PM!
Boleh dikatakan MUSTAHIL untuk wujudnya orang bukan melayu untuk menjadi PM di Malaysia … kerana sifat kemasyarakatan di negara ini masih jahil … antaranya seperti berikut …
(1) Ketuanan
– orang UMNO anggap mereka kaum yg paling mulia di dunia, kaum lain semuanya syaitan .. sebab itu lah sekiranya terdapat kaum lain yg lebih cemerlang, mereka amat pantang sekali … seperti lah baru berlaku di selangor …
(2) Keangkuhan
– orang UMNO mengatakan Obama menang semata-mata “he speaks english, he dun ask for kenyan sigboard & etc”
– orang UMNO ni tidak sedar bahawa Obama bertutur english kerana beliau ketahui bahasa english boleh digunakan di seluruh dunia
– sebab itulah pelbagai alasan diulaskan seperti kaum lain tidak fasih dalam bahasa melayu, sebab itu tidak layak jadi PM … semata-matanya untuk menyembunyikan ketidakyakinan diri
Kadang-kala, fikiran orang UMNO ni memang sukar difahami …
(a) mereka mengklasifikasikan “golongan miskin” berdasarkan warna kulit … tetapi bukan menggunakan kalkulator untuk mengira jumlah pendapatan keluarga .. agar bantuan dapat diberikan kepada golongan ini …
(b) mereka mengecam bahawa kaum lain tidak menguasai bahasa melayu kerana kaum lain amat bodoh
– tetapi mereka tidak sedar kaum lain tidak mendapat banyak peluang di sektor awam, tidak dapat menceburi projek kerajaan, tetapi hanya berkelayakan di sektor swasta yg kebanyakannya berniaga dengan pelanggan luar negara. Macam manalah pelanggan asing ini faham dengan bahasa melayu?
Orang biasa selalunya akan merenungi apakah punca kenapa bahasa kaum sendiri tidak dighairah-ghairahkan oleh kaum lain. Namun lebih cenderung untuk mengecam sahaja … Semasa mengecam kaum lain, mereka tidak pernah berfikir tentang pendirian sendiri …
apabila buka television RTM, terdengarlah perbualan sedemikian … “I hendak cakap dengan YOU, I cinta sama YOU” … bahasa sendiri pun tidak menghormati, lebih-lebih lagi sibuk mengecam kaum lain …
kenapalah tidak menghantar angkasawan yg tidak tahu bertutur english, untuk menikmati roti canai dan teh tarik dengan baju batik di roket ORANG LAIN? Rasanya kalau berlaku kebakaran dan angkasawan menyorak “tolong tolong”, angkasawan russia, amerika, china dan lain pun tak faham apa yg berlaku.
sekiranya begitu angkuh dengan kaum sendiri, dan kaum lain semua adalah bangsat … saya rasa Tun perlulah menukar tajuk blog ini kepada “Taniah Kepada Obama” dalam versi bahasa melayu … dan suruh Obama bacalah sendiri … kerana bangsa dan bahasamu adalah yg paling hebat dan mulia di dunia ini …
kalau benar-benar ikhlas dan waras, lebih baik mencari puncanya dan mengembelingkan semua kaum di negara ini, untuk bersama-sama memupuk amalan cinta kepada bahasa negara … dan bukannya pakai mengecam sahaja …
It took AMERICE 200 years to have a black president….wonder will thsi ever happen in Malaysia ? Democratic too… One should be given due credit not because of which group he belongs to but due to his ability. America has changed…Malaysia ??…hope to see the change in this century..
“Seramai 15,000 keluarga miskin tegar akan memiliki rumah sendiri menggunakan Dana Rangsangan Ekonomi RM7 bilion yang diumumkan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak kelmarin.”
Ini salah satu keratan dlm Berita harian hari ini…
Pertanyaan saya..Adakah rakyat disarawak juga akan menerima Dana ini.. Sebab selama ini kalau di lihat.. lebih banyak keluarga miskin di sarawak yang belum di tolong oleh kerajaan.. Sorry to say.. tetapi kebanyakan di semenajung sahaja yang di ambil berat.. Sabah, sarawak bagaimana???
Tidak kah pemimpin yg ada berasa kesian..
Rakyat makin miskin.. Orang kaya makin kaya… Mana adil..
Salam Tun and all fans of Tun. Salam to bonda too. Before getting into chedet.com today i was expecting to read about Obama and i was also expecting the comments about Obama to reflect the current scenario of our political happenings.
There has been a lot of comments i read about USA accepting a black as their leader and if Malaysia can do same by accepting a leader from the minority group. Looking at the changes happening around the globe today Malaysians have come to realize that there should be changes in a lot of things and way of life that we have lived in for the past 50 years.
For USA to make this changes it took them more than 200 years and to make the dream of Martin Luther King a reality it took about 4 decades. So we Malaysians have to be patient we are only a little bit more than 50 years old as a Nation. Maybe we don’t have to wait 200 years like the Americans did thanks to the globalization brought to us by the internet and even the suggestion by Tun himself to have a Bangsa Malaysia. It took 4 decades before Martin Luther Kings dream came true. Maybe we have to wait for another 1 or 2 decade before the dream of Tun Mahathir to have a bangsa Malaysia comes true.
May god bless Malaysia and all Malaysians and i urge all Malaysians to work towards this dream of TUN to have a bangsa Malaysia.
The fruit of patience is always sweet.
Salam Tun ,

” Only a few years ago I thought it was impossible for a black man to become President of white United States, the country where the blacks used to be the slaves of the whites.
Betul Tun, tiada siapa pun menjangka Barack Hussein Obama akan menjadi Presiden Kulit hitam Pertama di Amerika .
Tidak salah kalau kita menjangkakan dalam masa terdekat Idea dan aspirasi yang sama juga akan melanda Malaysia .
Seperti yg disebutkan oleh Lim Kit Siang didalam Parlimen ,Semua Putera Puteri anak anak Malaysia berhak untuk mendapat taraf yang sama disisi Perlembagaan tanpa perbezaan Kaum.
Boleh Tun Komen sikit adakah angin perubahan akan melanda Malaysia ?Khususnya dalam aspek ketuanan Melayu. Adakah dalam tempoh 3 atau 4 pilihanraya yang akan datang Malaysia juga akan mencipta sejarah dengan memiliki Perdana Menteri daripada keturunan Cina atau India .
Saya rasa orang orang UMNO dan Melayu masih belum menyedari hakikat ini .
Harap tun dapat memberi pandangan.
Terima Kasih.

Sdr mantoba on November 7, 2008 8:04 AM … saya tambah No 12. Bukan Melayu yang sudah masuk Melayu baru boleh berbaris hantar borang jadi KM atau Pm. Barulah satu bahasa satu bangsa satu negara.
Dear Tun and fellow commentators:
Good day. Well I am also grad that changes had actually happened in the US. Don’t know when Malaysia will witness a change also perhaps after over 200 years of independence like the US.
But seriously, while everybody is jumping for joy. Are we going to see drastic changes? I really doubted so. US is deep in debt. They need to sell more weapons, aeroplanes, control more oil fields, impose more anti dumping law, sign more FTA to make ends meet. So, we should rather expect what Democrat and the US businessmen would come out with than what Barack Obama can produce.
Businessmen, oil firms, all sorts of fund, weapon traders etc are actually influencing the US policy and Obama alone is quite helpless. “Sorry dude, no offence, I am happy you won.”
If my memory still serves me well, I remember when George Bush took over from Bill Clinton, Tun had also mention that George Bush is different from Bill Clinton because he listens and some other comments. But look at what George Bush brought to this world. So hold your horses. We may end up condemning later on.
While Barack Obama is being hailed as the big changes and where America is really accepting a non white to become a president. But back in “Bolehland” an appointmernt of Chinese female as “acting GM” in a state government controlled organisation is being challenged by UMNO, workers union sending protests and even PAS as a coalition for state government is protesting.
So stop praising the success of Barack Obama if your are one of those “hypocrites” that condemned the appointment of PKNS acting GM.
And kudos to our PM who said that “anyone” in Malaysia can be a PM. Does he really mean what he say? Just checking. Malaysia Boleh! Talk only mah!
Some people ask if the other races would ever have a chance at Malaysia
congrats Mr. President……… 🙂
Dear Tun,
Hip2 horaay for Obama and Lewis Hamiliton. The world is moving forward and oppurtunity is all around for things to happen. But how about us in Malaysia? Can we change that we an opportunity to have a non malay become as our leader? Give hope a chance for a change my dear Malaysian.
Dear Tun,
I was reading the black actor Sidney Poitier’s book ‘The Measure of a Man’. Poitier is from Cat Island in the Bahamas. He was born of Bahamaian parents and in the predominantly black Bahamas he had little knowledge of racial prejudices when he was a child.
Later as a teenager Poitier moved to Miami where he felt the brunt of American racism. However by that age, Poitier was already a self determined young man who felt he could do anything as well as the next man. Poitier was the first black actor to win an Oscar in 1964 – the highest accolade for film actors.
There is a commonality with Obama. Obama is not a true-blue black American. His father was a Kenyan and his mother white. He also had an Indonesian stepfather and spent time growing up in Indonesia. The bulk of his teenage years were spent in Hawaii under the care of his white Grandmother.
I feel that both Obama and Poitier were shielded or escaped the negative impact of racism during their formative years especially when they were young children. One of the worst effects of blatant racism is to lower the self esteem of the people who are the focus of that racism.
Minus this negative exposure in their early years, both Poitier and Obama have been able to compete with and even gain the upper hand in their chosen fields in the United States.
In short children must be given a very large dose of self confidence in their early years. They must also be protected from any negative influences which may lower their self esteem.
This is where I feel the Muslims in Malaysia and the rest of the world fail miserably. From young, children are threatened with the ‘fires of hell’. It is enough to frighten any child. If not the fires of hell, there is the constant fear of infringing some religious rule or other. Or there is the constant preoccupation with pursuing ‘pahala’.
Then our school kids here engage in calling each other ‘doh’ which is short for ‘bodoh’.
These alone are enough to totally annihilate the self esteem and self confidence of any child.

Maasalm TUN, mudah-mudahan sihat walafiat.
Yg dihormati TUN dan penulis-penulis budiman,
Sekarang pasti raimai rakyat yg pening dgn politik di Malaysia. Kita lihat saja perdebatan di Parlimen yamg disiarka oleh media atau berita perdana di kaca TV. KENAPA ADA RAKYAT NI BODOH SANGAT SUKA DGN PEMBANGKANG. Lihat saja Wakil Rakyat Pembangkang. Mereka ni tak ada jiwa kebangsaan langsung. Tengok saja Kit Siang, pertuturan Bahasa Malaysia beliau hancur,buruk, bodoh di tahap melampau. Sedangkan Kit Siang ini puluhan tahun dalam politik. Ramai Wakil Rakyat pembangkang ini kualiti Bahasa Malaysia mereka macam sampah. Itu pasal mereka ni tak boleh tolong rakyat sebab bahasa pun tak boleh nak paham.
Penyokong PR nipulak tau tak apa yg Wakil Rakyat mereka merepek di Parlimen?. Tak Tau tapi mereka iakan je. Anwar Ibrahim tu pun sama. Cakap macam pakar ekonomi. Dulu jadi Menteri Kewangan Malaysia ni sampai habis terlungkup. Tengok muka dia di Parlimen macam bagus padahal apa pun tak tau. Sekali tengok muka dia dah tau muka penipu.
Anwar Ibrahim nak jadi PM, Kit Siang pun sama, Hadi awang ada hati jugak, jadi diaorang tengah memperbodohkan sesama sendiri. Tengok Teressa Kok, takut dengan orang Melayu, sekarang dah rajin pakai Baju Kebaya. Sikit hari jangan terperanjat Kit Siang pakai Serban, Anwar Ibrahim pakai Sari di Parlimen dan Hadi Awang pakai Chong Sam pergi Masjid.
Permainan politik DAP,PKR dan PAS ini amat menjijikan. Mereka ini penipu besar. Tengok saja Kit Siang dan Guan Eng. Pilihanraya mereka pernah bertanding di beberapa negeri seperti Melaka, P.Pinang dan Perak. Jadi siapa dua beranak ini?. Adakah dua beranak ini pendatang haram?. Mana kampung mereka?.Apa jasa mereka kepada negara?. Dari mana asal usul mereka?.
Anwar Ibrahim pun sama, anak dan bini jadi pelacur politik untuk dia mendapat segala keuntungan politik. Semenjak tahun 1998 secara halus Anwar Ibrahim telah memulakan perniagaan ini secara kecil-kecilan. Kesian anak dan bini dia. Anak diletakan di bandar besar kerna masih segar dan isteri di bandar kecil kerna telah hampir dgn tarikh luput. Oleh sebab itulah Anwar ini mengambil alih semula perniagaannya di Permatang Pauh kerana takut gulung tikar.
Beginilah hebatnya permainan Kit Siang dan Anwar Ibrahim ini. KIt Siang dah berani menentang Sultan Perak kerana mahu menjadi Raja di Perak dan Guan Eng Menjadi Raja Muda. Anwar Ibrahim nak jadi hero filem Tamil, satu orang boleh pukul 20 orang. Dia punya auta sudah lebih. Dia mahu ada kasta sendiri. Semua orang kena sanjung sebab kononnya Anwar Ibrahim hero yang hebat kerana pandai menyanyi dan pandai menari.
Renungkanlah,
Salam Tun, saja lepas perasaan.
Tun,
Rgds to u and Tun Hasmah and pray you are in the best of health always.

5 years ago, when I vote for Badawi, it was certainly not to vote out Tun but it is for Tun as Badawi and Tun are both in BN then. Your voice alone does not represent the majority of the people so please don’t speak for us. Thank You.
Dear Tun
You have said it just right, I like it, it is easy to say, go for a change ,than to actually doing it. Obama campaign slogan, go for a change. Will America change ,through appointing one person to become the president of America. The one that can give change is only Allah and not Obama. Allah will causes changes to happen when the actions of men change for the better. If the actions of the American peoples remain the same or go for the worse than the changes that is to be expected is further destruction. When the muslims start doing the work of Nabi exactly as Nabi did, Allah will destroy the power of batil like America and the rest of the world. The jews has no power to determine the direction of World politic if the muslim do the work of Nabi. The muslims must change, do the work of Nabi, then Allah will change the world and not Obama. In my opinion after this, America and all countries following the system promote by America will collapse and Obama together with the American peoples is going along with the destruction that is comming from Allah. No one can protect America anymore. The next civilization is Islam
“The world will be watching. It is easier to say change than to actually change.”
YUP, sooooo true.. i think its lazy for the muslim to think that their problems are partly resolve by obama appointment… its even lazier to think that the world will change once Obama wins… HAHAHA….
JOKES OF THE CENTURY…!!!!

Salam to Tun and all,
Tun,
Can you touch on:-
1. “Ketuanan Melayu” – I beleive “Ketuanan Melayu” has been translated worngly (might be on purpose) as “Malay Supremacy”. I dont think our founding fathers intend that to be Malay Supremacy.
IT WAS TO ENSURE THAT THE MALAY GENERATION WLL NOT BE 2ND CLASS CITIZEN AND LIVE IN ‘SANCTUARIES’ LIKE THE NATIVES OF NORTH AMERICA
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
2. NEP – lot of comment to abolish NEP…
THOSE COMMENTORS ARE THE UNGRATEFUL MALAYSIANS FIT FOR THE DUMPS OF CHEDET.COM WHERE THEY ARE FREE TO ‘RAP’ (ROAM AND PUKE) ETERNALLY.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
YABhg Tun,
Salam hormat. Slogan Obama..’Change, We Can’ memberi kesan yang amat besar kepada rakyat Amerika khasnya penyokong penyokongnya. Slogan ini memberi harapan yang besar kepada rakyat Amerika untuk mecapai American Dreams.
Kita di Malaysia mempunyai harapan yang sama untuk mecapai Wawasan 2020 seperti yang YABhg Tun pelopori dahulu. Dengan menggunakan slogan “Malaysia Boleh’, diterima dan dilaungkan oleh rakyat Malaysia. Slogan ini menyatukan kita.
Tidak hairanlah kalau rakyat Amerika yang berada di Negara kita meyambut kemenangan Obama dengan slogan “OBAMA Boleh”. Clinton semasa menjadi Presiden Amerika dahulu secara terang terang mengagumi kepimpinan YABhg. Tun. Rakyat Amerika yang bekerja di sini mempunyai pandangan yang sama. Kita mendahului mereka dengan semangat Malaysia Boleh. Dengan cara yang sama Obama dapat sokongan melalui Change, We Can…(Berubah, Kita Boleh).
Dear Tun..,
After this should we call White House or Obama live in other palace.
Because of in president room in White House there certain place that black is prohibited. Abraham Lincoln murder because of he bring black guest to prohibited room.
YAB Tun,
Assalamualaikum and Selamat Sejahtera.
The world has witnessed the unthinkable 10 years ago in the US, happened yesterday… that American has a Black President for the first in their history.
Now the world will also wait and see what’s next. Will the new President have a real impact to show the world that he is different from the previous President? Will the so called ‘change’ really materialise? I supposed we all will be waiting anxiously and see with anticipation in the next 100 days.
Personally, I think Obama as a President, is better and more sober
than Bush but I am not too sure if he could bring ‘change’ towards US foreign policy. I think the world would like to see a ‘change’ in this aspect.
Back to our local political scenario, Barisan National should take note of the recent US election result and looked into the mirror and asked itself. Could what has happened in the US, happen in Malaysia come PRU 13? BN has to analyse itself and come out with the answer, taking into account what has happened in PRU 12 recently.
Once again thank you Tun for sharing your knowledge and thoughts with us. We are craving for more from you. May Allah SWT blessed Tun and Bonda Tun Siti Hasmah always.
Concur in your characterization of Mr Bush as “arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen.”
I guess it takes an “arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring” leader to easily recognize another one.
Incidentally, dear Prime Minister, US presidents are elected for four-year terms, not five as you intimated so authoritatively (as in “Obama has got five years.”)
I am also pleased to see that thanks to your renowned tolerance and excellent education this page has at least three pejorative references to Jews — fewer, to be sure, of the hundreds you made during your tenure in power, yet they are there, a tribute to the political culture you fostered.
Faithfully
Jon M. (a strong Obama supporter in the United States)
A’kum Tun yang di kasihi
Whilst it is quite laudible that an African American has been voted in as President, it was interesting to see that the voting pattern was very much along racial lines along the coloured folks – almost all voted for him; slightly more than half among the whites voted for him. We can read a lot into this.
I think we can also have a non Malay as PM one day but we need to be more homogenous that what we are today. Now we have vernacular schools, newspapers, signboards, TV channels, radio channels etc etc that keeps reminding us we are different. In the US, its only colour. So there’s a lot more that needs to be done.
Congrats to Obama. Americans certainly have forward thinking great minds, rather than backward thinking in terms of politics,races etc. I am wondering when is the time for change to come to Malaysia!!
Btw, oil prices has reached USD60/barrel, what is Shahrir waiting for?? Waiting it to go up or what?? Its time to revise down the oil price so the rakyat can benefit in times of difficulty. Take Action Shahrir!!!
TUN….SAMBUNGAN
BILA CAKAP OPIS BOY MESTI MELAYU, INDIA
BILA CAKAP PASAL PEMANDU, MESTI INDIA ATAU MELAYU

OK OK…BOLEH TAK MELAYU JADI PRESIDEN GERAKAN ATAU DAP????
Dear Tun,
McCain did well in the Southern States and got about 47% of the popular votes, I think there are still many white folks that do not support Obama (black-man)! This group I believe will be ever vigilant to find Obama’s slightest fault. Obama’s administration will be subjected to constant criticisms, just wait and see. Poor Obama, I wish him all the best of luck.
Thank you, Wassalam.
Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun.
Terima kasih kerana memberi pandangan mengenai kejayaan Presiden Barack Obama sebagai pemimpin kulit hitam pertama Amerika.
Ulasan YABhg Tun menyedarkan saya mengenai hadis Nabi Muhammad SAW tentang salah satu tanda-tanda kecil hampir kiamat iaitu yang bermaksud “ketika mana ibu-bapa menjadi hamba kepada anak yang berkaki ayam”. Ada yang menafsirkan sebagai “ketika mana hamba telah menjadi tuan kepada tuannya”. Wallahuaklam.
Adakah situasi politik Amerika menyamai apa yang berlaku semasa PRU12 dimana majoriti pengundi yang tidak menyukai DSAAB tidak mempunyai pilihan lalu memangkah parti pembangkang. Sekiranya benar maka Obama tidak boleh senang lenang jika beliau hendak sambung 5 tahun lagi.
Kita harap pengalaman Obama di negara dunia ketiga dapat meliberalisasikan dasar luar Amerika terhadap negara-negara Islam dan negara sedang membangun.
Kita harap DSAI tidak dapat mempengaruhi Obama untuk menghentam Malaysia.
Walaubagaimanapun kita harap yang terbaik daripada Obama kerana sebarang keputusan dari Amerika akan memberi impak kepada negara lain. Lagipun Nabi Muhammad SAW menyeru umatnya berbaik sangka sesama manusia.
Semoga YABhg Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah.
Assalamualaikum Y. Bhg. Tun..dan semua pembaca setia chedet.com.
First of all, congratulations to Obama for being the 44th president of Amerika. Saya hanya berharap pentadbiran yang bakal diterajui Obama 100% not like Bust. It will be very good for American and all of us if Obama mengikut jejak Tun. Tapi nak cakap sekarang pun..masih awal..kita tidak tahu apa rentak Obama. Walaubagaimanapun…kemenangan Obama sekaligus telah menebus maruah orang kulit hitam. So Good Luck to Obama!
Y. Bhg. Tun, 10.5 juta…saya rasa terlalu banyak!..Ramai lagi rakyat Malaysia yang hidup dalam kemiskinan. Tidak kurang juga ibu tunggal..anak-anak yatim..lebih baik dihabiskan duit yang banyak tu pada mereka. Sekurang-kurangnya nasib mereka terbela dan dapat juga pahala. Saya memang tak puas hati!!
Teringin nak baca komen Tun mengenai hal ini..
Semoga Tun sihat selalu untuk terus memberikan pendapat-pendapat yang bernas untuk kami yang sentiasa merindui Tun..Aminn…
ASSALAMUALAIKUM YAB TUN

Assalamualaikum Tun.. semoga dilimpahkan hidayatNya…
saya amat2 bersetuju dengan komen tun terhadap OBAMA…
meskipun persaingan sengit tapi kuasa rakyat USA telah ditentukan oleh penduduk USA sendiri…
tapi klu dibandingkan senario di malaysia pulak… mula kedengaran pemimpim2 lama ni bertanding tapi tak cukup pencalonan akar umbi, mula bersuara kata disekatlah, diugutlah dan macam2 lagi lah… tapi mereka lupa sebenarnya tidak layak lagi bertanding masa mereka dah berlalu… Boleh Tun ber komen sikit tentang perkara ini…
terima kasih
Salam Tun Mahathir, Tun Siti dan pembaca.
1. Congrats to Barack Obama. He is at the right time and at the right place.
2. Luckily Bush & his empire has torned down.
3. After 220years of Independence, American choose a first black man as President. He has a blood of America and Kenya. White & Black.
4.But still he loves his country as much as others do and he have the faith in the same religion like the majority in America.
5. And as usual, he appoint a Jewish (Yahudi) as his Staff Leader in White House (or now Black House?)
6. His Second Man is a white man.
7. And as for Malaysia, we also need a man that is A MALAYSIA HERO, not a Malay Hero, A Chinese Hero, An Indian Hero or others.
8. A criteria for Malaysia HERO (as proven by B.Obama) :-
– Can be Chinese or Indian but must have Malay blood too
– is a Muslim
– loves Malaysia unconditionally
– at the right time and the right place
~~~~ Change is good but change to what? ~~~~~
Allahualam.
YABhg.Tun,
saya setiap hari akan membuka blog ini untuk mendapatkan “perkara-perkara menakjubkan” dari tulisan Tun. Kalau tak ada new posting memang membosankan.
Kemenangan Obama adalah mungkin seperti kejayaan Lee Chong Wei mendapatkan taraf pemain badminton nombor satu dunia. Tetapi untuk mengekalkan taraf itu bukannya perkara yang mudah. Kekuatan saikologi sangat penting. Begitulah Obama, kemenangan mudah buatnya tetapi untuk mengekalkan jawatan presiden bagi dua penggal pastinya begitu sukar.
Saya yakin Tun adalah salah seorang pemimpin yang bukan sahaja berjaya mendapat kedudukan tertinggi malahan berjaya mengekalkannya buat masa yang panjang…tahniah.
Ada juga penulis yang menyalahkan sesebuah parti politik yang bersikap angkuh, sombong dan tidak memberi perhatian terhadap pandangan rakyat biasa. Tetapi sebenarnya bukanlah salah parti itu..yang membuatkannya “teruk” adalah pemimpinnya.
If Obama can change the history of US, why not the malaysians change the fate of Malaysia by giving the non-malay a chance to be the PM in Malaysia. I just wanna know opinion, Tun!
Dear Tun,
As you can’t image just few year ago, that the black can be president in US.
I hope I can image in my life time, there is a Non Malay-Muslim as PM in Msia.
Anything and everthing are possible if the black can be president in US.
Of couse, you may not agreed. But ask youself/ourself, is the Malay-Muslim better off under the UMNO lead goverment? We can’t get a certain answer, right ? The most important is the well being of the rakyat, it’s really doesn’t matter whom is the PM. don’t you agreed?
Assalamu `alaikum YABhg Tun dan semua bloggers,
(01) Saya tidak pasti sama ada hendak memberi ucapan Tahniah atau Takziah memandangkan “trauma”nya saya terhadap kekuasaan Presiden Amerika Syarikat terhadap dunia sama ada berupa penguasaan ketenteraannya, ekonominya mahupun budayanya. Telah terbukti dalam sejarah sudah lebih 40 orang Presiden Amerika Syarikat dan semua mereka terikat dengan budaya dan ideologi Polis Dunia. Apakah Obama pasti bukan terlepas dari ideologi “Polis Dunia”? Mudah-mudahan beliau dapat keluar dari belenggu ideologi berkenaan.
(02) Sebenarnya saya tertarik dengan slogan pilihanraya beliau iaitu Yes, We Can!. Ada keserasian dengan slogan Malaysia Boleh!. Ini menunjukkan betapa frasa berkenaan cukup berkesan dalam meningkatkan motivasi manusia dan YABhg Tun sudahpun mengetengahkan frasa berkenaan lebih kurang 10 tahun yang lalu. Tahniah kepada YABhg Tun.
Ikhlas,
Bujang Redzuan Mohammed

Greeting Tun
There’s so much to talk about Obama and how he make history as the first black President of USA. Congratulation.
The slogan ‘YES WE CAN’ means alot to the American.
Instead of Malaysia Boleh, we should change to KITA BOLEH, maybe some of us dont feel there’s much malaysian in ourself.
And there is a similarity on how American reject Bush Jr., just like us how we reject BN and it’s slowly showing now and in the future, God willing.
Assalamualaikum Tun,1st time join tp baca selalu.
Semoga Malaysia dijauhi segala bencana dan rakyatnya hidup aman damai dgn penuh keharmonian.
A minority can be a Prime Minister if he:
1. Support Ketuanan Melayu
2. Supports the Social Contract
3. Only support Bahasa Malaysia medium schools, no more Chinese and Tamil Nationalist schools
4. Does not support Bumi discrimination by Chinese Managers in Multinational Coporations like Esso and Shell (as in the 80’s and 90’s) and others multinationals
5. Condemn clannish organisations that only provide financial assistance and do business with their clans only
6. Does not translate Ketuanan Melayu to “Malay Supremacy” in English

Will other races in Malaysia having the fair chance ?
YES SIR, PERHAPS LIKE THE AMERICAN..AFTER 230 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE
FAIR CHANCE, AIN’T IT?
MAY THE DAY COMES WHEN ALL MALAYSIANS ARE MALAYSIAN IN BODY AND SOUL
MAY GOD BLESS US ALL.
salam Tun,
to v9179 and dido and others like-minded,
I agree with you that we have to change our mind about having a minority president.
But we have to start from somewhere…how about abolishing all National type schools?Every citizen must change his / her name to reflect a Malaysian identity.
FYI Obama is a Christian from a mixed black / white parentage which conforms to American mainstream.
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE AMERICANS WILL ELECT OBAMA IF HE IS A 100% BLACK MUSLIM?I DON’T THINK SO…
Think carefully.
Jeng3
Tun,
Semuga kemenangan Obama akan memuka mata ramai pemimpin diMalaysia yang rakyat memang mahukan perubahan yang drastik dilakukan segera.
Rakyat telah penat diperbodohkan oleh media perdana seolah-olah rakyat tidak boleh berfikir secara rasional dengan saban hari berita memutar belitkan kenyataan para pemimpin rakyat.
Change before its too late …

Salam Ayahanda Tun,
May Allah grant you long life and good health amongst family & friends.
Yes…Congrats to Obama.But he will have a tough time cleaning up Bush’s acts. President come, president go ….but we have yet to see Ameica’s foreign policy could make the world a better place.
It won’t be any sooner now and you can bet on that.As long the Jews have much influence on the Senate.
Prove me wrong Mr.Obama!
Salam Tun,
In my opinion, religion played a big role here. I remember there was an incident where there were rumours of Obama being a muslim, caused quite a stir. I don’t think America would choose a Muslim to be their president.
As for Malaysia, i don’t think anyone none Muslim would be able to become Prime Minister. Colour is just second to religion. Our Badawi is half chinese, you are also of mix race, so i think if there’s a Muslim chinese or indian who’s capable of doign the job, shouldn’t be a problem. The Malay society would be able to accept that.
Any comments?
Situasi D Amerika Lain
Obama dari keturunan hamba abdi meningkat menjadi Presiden: Ini satu pencapaian dari sebuah perjuangan pembebasan. Orang Afrika pada asal nya bebas tetapi di culik di jual dan di behambakan.
Orang Melayu bebeza. Mereka dulu bebas dan tuan tanah dan Raja mereka adalah ketuanan Melayu
Senasib dengan orang Afrika dari satu segi…..Bumi mereka di rampas
sebagai tuan tanah tidak di iktiraf,Raja mereka di ketepikan secara sistematik ,bangsa Melayu juga terpinggir dari arus pendidekan,ekonomi dan kehidupan.
Perjuangan Melayu ia lah mengambil hak mereka semula sewajar nya.Walaupun pemimpin Melayu telah menjadi Pemerintah pengembalian itu belum selesai walaupun 30 tahun DEB
Bagi Obama DEB nya baru bermula………..
Yes, we may wish Obama best of luck. This is because, the capitalist are now calling banks in their countries as ‘zombies’. They do not wish to nationalise their economic activities. Furthermore, the 1930s depression was never overcome by steps taken by the government. It simply dissappear because another issue crop up; the 2nd WW.
But what about Malaysia? Will the change, that is the shift towards UMNO be successful, with all the money politics lingering in their organisation. Can we wish UMNO best of luck in Mac?
Dearest Tun,
I totally disagree with PM’s statement about anybody from the minority group can be PM.
Everyone knows (except PM) that this is not possible when PMs are elected only by UMNO and BN. There will be total revamp of our democratic system and it will take another 450 years to achieve this.
NO ONE from the minority group will EVER be PM if UMNO continues to be arrogant and incompetent to adapt to changes.
The rakyat have no say who is to be PM, unlike in USA.
http://wtfmalaysiangovernment.blogspot.com/
Tun, wouldn’t your comments below be equally applicable to your own “reign” ?
The xxxx of xxxx must go down in xxxx history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, xxx created a demand for change as no other xxx had ever created.
Tun,
Lets hope and pray that Najib and gang will follow Obama and bring changes to Malaysia. Lets hope he do his job as the next PM without using a single word of
YEAH!! A BLACK MAN TO BECOME PRESIDENT OF WHITE UNITED STATES, WHAT ABOUT MALAYSIA??? STILL TALKING ABOUT KETUANAN MELAYU?? Cukuplah tu, yang miskin, yang lemah memang kita tolong, apa salahnya kita tolong yang lemah?? kan kita satu keluarga dalam Malaysia??? yang penting kita hidup dalam harmoni, ekonomi baik, semua orang kaya, happy, buat apa mahu beza-bezakan melayu, cina, india??? tidak rasa boringkah hari hari cakap soal perkauman??? siapa 10, siapa 20, siapa lagi 30?? yang penting kita harus faham apakah pokoknya??? pokoknya ialah MCA mahu meningkatkan persaingan antarabangsa, dengan ini ia boleh menarik minat dan meningkatkan lagi pelaburan asing ke negara kita, maka ekonomi Malaysia akan menjadi semakin baik dan kukuh di samping kita tidak mengabaikan golongan yang miskin, kan kerajaan ada melaksanakan bermacam-macam langkah untuk menolong golongan yang miskin..BETUL Tak??? takkanlah orang melayu saja yang miskin, cina dan india pun ada yang miskin juga, BETULKAH??????????? Tun!! mari teruskan perjuangan untuk untuk bangsa Malaysia..kan dalam dunia global ini kita tidak dapat hidup bersendirian?? kita memerlukan antara satu sama lain, biarlah kita berganding bahu untuk menentang segala rintangan global demi untuk semua bangsa Malaysia..!!!!!!!!!

I think we been used the wrong term of economic turmoil. It been highlighted that as world economic turmoil, while it only happen in Europe and US. I guess we should adress it as US & Europe economic turmoil which what they did to us in 1997 as Asia Financial crisis
Salam Tun…
Pada pagi ini, semasa sedang bersarapan, saya terbaca satu kenyataan dari Presiden MCA yang memberi komen mengenai kemenangan Obama. Persiden MCA itu kemudiannya berkata sudah tiba bagi kita rakyat Malaysia berubah dan meninggalkan soal yang remeh temeh seperti perlantikan kaum bukan Melayu memegang satu jawatan penting di sebuah negeri pembangkang. Bagi saya, di Malaysia, rakyat kita masih lagi belum bersedia dan terbuka untuk menerima kaum lain selain Melayu untuk memegang jawatan-jawatan penting dan sensitif apatah lagi untuk menjadi PM. Saya bukan mahu bersikap perkauman. Saya mempunyai ramai kawan-kawan dari kaum yang lain. Presiden MCA itu terlupa bahawa negara kita baru saja 51 tahun merdeka. Amerika Syarikat sudah lebih 200 tahun merdeka! Mana mungkin boleh Persiden MCA itu menyamakan keadaan negara kita dengan Amerika. Nyata jauh berbeza! Walaupun Obama adalah berkulit hitam, beliau adalah seorang Kristian dan bertutur dalam bahasa pengantar AS iaitu Bahasa Inggeris!! Di Amerika bahkan di mana-mana negara di dunia (selain Malaysia) tidak ada SJK dan para pelajar mereka di sekolah menggunakan satu sahaja bahasa pengantar. Berbeza dengan kita disini. Kita mempunyai sekolah pelbagai aliran dan bahasa pengantar di setiap sekolah itu juga adalah berbeza! Sangat sedih apabila seorang pemimpin tertinggi satu parti masih lagi tidak mahu berpijak dibumi yang nyata. Negara kita juga masih lagi mengamalkan politik parti berasaskan satu kaum. Berbeza dengan Republikan dan Demokrat di Amerika. Mungkin pada satu hari nanti kita akan menerima seseorang yang bukan Melayu menjadi PM,..tapi masanya bukan sekarang. Mungkin seratus tahun akan datang! Bukan mudah bagi kita untuk mengikuti jejak AS. Mereka menunggu lebih 200 tahun untuk menerima seorang Presiden kulit hitam pertama. Mereka sudah ada 44 orang Presiden. Kita baru sahaja mempunyai 5 orang PM! Orang Melayu sangat sensitif mengenai hak-hak mereka. Jika Presiden MCA itu mahu kaum dia diterima, apa sudah bersediakah kaum dia untuk menerima kemasukan pentadbir Melayu ke dalam organisasi mereka? Sudah bersediakah kaum dia menerima seorang guru besar atau pengetua Melayu ke dalam SRJK dan SMJK mereka?
Salam Tun
Amerika Syarikat 232tahun merdeka,sebanyak 43 presiden selepas adalah Mat salleh, akhirnya seorang anak pendatang dari Kenya Afrika kulit hitam dipilih Presiden oleh rakyat Amerika……Ini dia Amerika sebenar….
Bagaimana dengan Malaysia kini….mangkin Racist,isu pekauman sering dibangkit, polisi quata masih diamal, kes baru di Selangor jawatan tinggi masih dibantah dengan lantikan keturunan bumi or non-bumi,Kegunaan bahasa lain tidak dibenarkan di jalan- jalan Pulau Pinang dipolitikan untuk kepentingan Parti tertentu sehingga ke makhamah.Apa ini semua “MALAYSIA BOLEH” dimulut bukan dalam hati satu bangsa Malaysia tidak kila Pendatang atau Keturunan, bumiputera atau Non- Bumiputera seperti di Amerika….
Kenapa Obama orang kulit hitam pula? Yang pasti maknya orang putih, mengapa Obama dianggap orang kulit hitam (bukankah dia mix)?
Ada rakan saya berkata sudah tiba masanya Perdana Menteri Malaysia perlu bangsa selain melayu, kerana Amerika kini mempunyai Presiden kulit hitam .
Saya tersenyum dan mengtakan, pertamanya Obama adalah seorang kulit putih juga kerana maknya orang putih. Malahan di Malaysia Perdana Menteri yang berketurunan campuran bangsa telah lama dilantik .
CONGRATS OBAMA
Barack Obama won the 44Th US Presidency today. The ‘Colourful’ Black & White Obama will be elected as the newest President for the Red, White and Blue United States of America. The people of the so-called land of the braves have lived up to the brave tag. Braving to change.
Congratulation to the brave people who dare to vote a man who originate from both east and west cultures. Given his globalized background, surely Obama is not only a product of American Civilization Salad Bowl but is also a product of world’s Melting Pot Education. What is certain now is the world is in for good chance of peace. John Lennon once wrote ‘all we are saying is give peace a chance”. It is now not only a saying but the world will have real chances for peace.
To Obama, live up to our expectation. You are not only president for the black or the white America, you are also President for those who are admirer of Americanism and its products , the Hollywood , the American sitcoms, TV series etc. You are also President for the American Citizens- wanna-be and for all the marginalized people of the world.
Though you may lean in the direction of American interest in the next 4 years of your Presidency, the people of the world will surely depend on you for the well being of the mother earth now that you are the most powerful man on earth.
So take good care and be a President cause there is nothing bad about being one.
Congrats to you, President Obama.

Aiya…dpt no 5 je ptg kelmarin.Ada gok org ‘gila’ yg lebih cepat dari saya.Ingat dah jadi orang first sekali.
Seminggu yg lepas saya menemui dan mendengar satu kebetulan yg luarbiasa dan mungkin org lain juga pernah mengalaminya.Mungkin.
Saya terdengar yg lagu dimainkan oleh stesen radio hot FM ngan sebuah stesen radio lain adalah sama tajuk lagu dan sama permulaannya.
So dalam keadaan ekomomi sekarang ni,tiada ada apa yg mustahil untuk melihat kejatuhan kuasa Amerika Syarikat.
Mungkin kuasa Islam akan kembali.Penghujung dunia.
Terima kasih Tun.

Obama….dari dahulu saya
memang berharap Obama akan
menang dan saya meyakini
kemenangannya…untuk itu
kami berusaha.
Tun masih ingat bukan…
bagaimana dan kenapa Najib
terpilih menjadi pemimpin
nombor dua Malaysia lalu
mengenepikan Muhyiddin….
Kenapa? Salah satu sebabnya
ialah kerana ada penglibatan
organisasi bukan kerajaan…
lebih elok kalau menafsirkan
mereka sebagai secret society.
Jangan nafikan ini Tun….kami
mengetahui cerita itu dari A…
hingga Z….hanya kami yang Tahu
kerana kami semua terlibat.Tun,
barangkali sudah lupa semua itu?
Bagaimana dengan Obama….
sebenarnya secret society
memainkan peranan yang amat
besar terhadap kemenangannya.
Kami berkata…”Tuah ayam
nampak di kaki,Tuah manusia
siapa yang tahu.” berbekalkan
kepercayaan ini kami mencuba
dan berusaha.Ternyata berhasil.
Tun berada dalam keadaan
antara percaya dan Tidak,Bukan?
Kini ternyata anak ayam sakit yang
Tun pungut di tepi jalan dahulu,
sudah bermain di Arena Antarabangsa….
Masih ingatkah Tun dengan anak ayam
sakit yang Tun pungut di tepi jalan itu?
Namun siapa sangka dan siapa
percaya anak ayam sakit ini
mampu melakukan semua itu.Melihat
fizikalnya sahaja,orang sudah tidak
percaya namun itulah yang dirancangnya.
Apa lagi jika orang tahu anak ayam ini
menghidap penyakit Scizophrenia…,
pandang sebelah mata pun orang tak sudi.
Biarlah semuanya menjadi Tandatanya…
Kita tidak boleh memandang rendah
kebolehan sesiapa walau bagaiman pun
rupa dan bentuk seseorang.
Kalaulah Tun Tahu dan mengerti?
Berada dalam keadaan antara percaya
dan tidak percaya,lebih selamat dan
baik buat Tun.
Wassalam…
Salam Tun
Thank you for a very interesting blog. I was bowled over to see the first black US President being voted into office. Like you, I also could not imagine a black president of the United States especially at a time like now. Semua ini takdir Allah SWT and how Powerful is He. If He wants a black President for the US, than a black President it is (kun-fa-ya-kun). We should also remember a hadith which states that despite being at the lowest-of-the-low, Islam will rise again in stature to the very highest level (don’t know when) where we will not even be able to find somebody poor to give charitable alms too. Could it be that the new dakwah missionaries of Islam will come from the United States? We do not know. Waullauhu a’lam.
I kind of agree with you for point 8. Certainly this is one of the worst recession and can this new black US President do a turnaround in 5 years ? The odds are unlikely but if he is to do it, it is to revamp the banking, financial and capitalist infrastructure of the US. The recession, of course, has to take its course -but- if Obama is wise enough to follow the principles of Islam, he would ensure that banks do not lend more than the physical money they have. Reduce or abolish credit especially credit cards. Tell people and institutions to live within their means. Reduce entrepreneurship and risk. Strengthen upon blue chips and large institutions.
One thing I am certainly starting to observe is : what happened to the Jewish hold on the US government and top positions? It is as if they suddenly disappeared and appeared to relinquish their hold. What nifty plan and trickery do they have next up their sleeves? Is it because they are affected by the financial crisis and they decide to take a backseat to sort themselves out ? What are they planning to do to Obama ? We wait and see.
I would like to know what is your opinion on what are the main changes we will see in the next 5 years with Obama as President.
It is interesting to make a similitude here in Malaysia. Would the Malays except a Chinese but Moslem PM ? Or if we look at it from the scale of the changes in the US, would the Malays except an Indian but Moslem PM?
I watched with interest Isu Khas programme on TV1 RTM where 3 reporters were interviewing Najib on the financial measures he is trying to make involving RM 6-7 billion to secure our economy. I must admit he is a very confident statesman. But after comparing Pak Lah and you, I can see that a leader must be very firm, slow and careful in making decisions, jangan menggelabah when faced suddenly with a contentious issue (such as a reporter posing you a question in front of live TV), have very good knowledge of government and economics/finance, must be able to show composure at all times whatever the situation because the Press and the cameramen are always there to pick it up (such as a sudden outburst of anger). You had all these things plus the fact that you managed to control your sleeping habit very well in order to match the very busy schedule that few people can endure and you were loyal to Puan Sri Dr Siti Asmah and no bad people was able to frame a sex scandal against you. Plus you went the extra mile to make unpopular but good, sound and wise decision even though the public could not accept but it was good for them.
I don’t know if we can ever find such a package again in our future PM but let us pray so and he must be steadfast in iman.
Tun,
Is it possible for such miracle happening here in Malaysia where a leader is voted in based on his abilities and not his race? Can the fact that our PM has to come from UMNO be changed?
Sad isnt it…. we are still stuck in this racial game in everything we do. When can we see the same miracle that happened in America happen here? I have no problems with an Indian Prime Minister as long as he can lead. Can the Malays?

SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
IZINKAN,
4. There are many reasons why Obama managed to break through white prejudice. But President Bush has contributed much towards the acceptance of black Obama.
THE ARROGANT, AUTOCRATIC BUSH (AAB)
There are many reasons why IBRAHIM(ANWAR) managed to break through MALAY prejudice. But PREMIER BADAWI(ABDULLAH) has contributed much towards the acceptance of PKR/PAS.
THE ARROGANT, AIMLESS BADAWI (AAB)
LOOKS LIKE A CARBON COPY ..YEAH, AYAHANDA TUN?
AS FOR US, SINCE WE CAN’T BE THE GREAT THINKER AS OUR AYAHANDA TUN,
WE TRY TO ACT AS ONE.. SHUD BE OK LAH, AYAHANDA TUN.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Salam Tun,
Saya rasa elok sangat kalo kita link blog Tun ni kat depa diAmerika,biaq depa tengok lagu mana seorang bekas pemimpin negara diAsia ni bagi nasihat bukan saja untuk menjadi presiden Amerika tapi juga sebagai pemimpin dunia.
Semoga Tun terus bersemangat dan terus berjuang didalam blog ini.
W’salam.
Salam Tun,
Mengenai bayaran kepada bekas2 hakim tu, saya rasa kita tak perlulah panjang2kan demi menjaga hati mereka. Bukan mereka yang mintak, kerajaan yang beri atas nasihat menteri yang berkenaan. Saya rasa tak adil kita mengungkit2kan perkara tu. Mereka semua dah tua. Kesian keluarga mereka bila perkara ni disebut2. Mungkin dah rezeki mereka. Yang penting kita ambil ini sebagai iktibar, jangan terburu2 membuat keputusan, jangan terburu2 pilih menteri..
Salam Tun.
Obama: Change we need.
After more than 250 years of independence, US got a half African-American as a president.
Will the rest of world follow this trend?
A Malay as PM of Singapore.
An Indian as PM of Malaysia.
A Chinese as President of Indonesia.
A Hong Kong based caucasian as President of PRC China.
A lower caste Indian as a PM of India.
etc..etc..etc..
Opps…sorry, I was dreaming…..
Salam Tun,
The US 44th Presidential Election is the Greatest Show on Earth.
1) Congratulations Obama wins! CNN,CNBC,NY POST,TV Ratings and the likes, they all make tons of money by now.
2) Obama has to face the following reality from day one.
3) The NYSE falls on the first and second day after the victory. No change.
4) Obama picks a Jew as the White House Chief of Staff. Its ok. But… nothing has change ehh.
5) PDB… First Presidential Debriefing by CIA to talk about the overall security situation, worldwide and his own security. Some whites have been remanded for planning to assasinate him. Nothing has change…..
6) America.. The Movie. Yee Haa.
But we should all prey that America really change for the good of all mankind.
Wassalam.
Salam Tun yg d kasehi,
Yes, congrat to Obama. Hope he will be the other way round of Bush.
Harap Obama berhati-hati lah..orang puteh ni kan leh caya sangat..
silap langkah..kene tembak nanti..banyak dah berlaku…
Well Obama hope you can serve well to your pple and the world.
Dear Tun
I am for Obama as the 44th U.S. President and the first black President too. While I congrat him for the victory, I hope he will bring benefits of sorts and more to our region during his tenure.
Cheers.
Dear Tun,
Congratulations to Barack Obama for elected the 44th US President.
Of course there are challenges ahead, he is well aware of that as hinted in his victory speech. He said it won’t be solved in a year or even one term. But he pledged to be honest with the people which is something missing during the Bush administration.
I think the black minority understand what it means for them especially where you have to come from hardship. That’s why people like Oprah, Magic Johnson, Jesse Jackson are so delighted.
Good luck to Obama.
Assalam.. Tun
Dengan kemenangan Obama, boleh jadi petunjuk baru kepada dunia, semuga Malaysia boleh melihat dan mengikuti perkembangan serta mendapat feadah yang positif dalam pelbagai sudut.
Syabas, Tun semuga teruskan menjala ide sebagini.
wassalam
Dear Tun,
In most of the commentary in your blog, there are alot of comments about race issue and its similarity between US and Malaysia.
However, another important similarity between the two countries political situation is the politic of FEAR play by the incumbent party.
Republican run their campaign by casting doubt on Obama and his unusual background, fitness to lead, strange friends and associate etc. Suggesting that under Obama, US would become a different country. This suggest that the party has run out of idea to run the country and the only thing for them to do is attack the credibility of the challenger.
Going back to our previous GE and the by-election in Penang, that was how BN and UMNO play their politic. They suggested that the opposition is unfit to lead, country would be run by Jews + Chinese, race riot etc. However, no new idea was put forward by the BN, it would be politic as usual. We now know what 50% of Malaysian think about that!
In this era of information technology, by the next election, I think Malaysian would have learnt from the American people and will have the vision to see through these old and tired tactics, and will be judging and choosing wisely.
Dear Tun,
I think Malaysia is not prepared to accept a non-bumi/non-Malay as a PM yet. Not at the time when there are still many who harps on the concept of Ketuanan Melayu. Perhaps next generation might have a different opinion.
However, I believe this generation need to start the change. First of all, the govt. needs to change its mindset and start treating EVERY MALAYSIAN just that; as MALAYSIANS. Every Malaysians has EQUAL right. I think the Constitution is very clear about that. The govt. should start by ensuring EQUALITY is the basis of every policy it formulate. As long as the concept of “us-vs-them” continue to proposer, just like the way the concept of “bumiputra” segregating bumis from non-bumis, Malaysians will never be truly united. A united nation will never really be bothered about the ethnicity of the PM. They will only be bothered if the PM can lead the country greater prosperity and harmony. Not further division and segregation.
Sir,
Isn’t it weird?
Here we see a lot of people congratulating Obama for being the first black president.
And here, we also see a lot of people critizing and protesting in the street due to the appointment of a Chinese as the head of PKNS.
Here we also see people critizing the Selangor MB for suggesting to open up UITM to the non – Malays.
We have contractdating statement among ourselves, don’t we? We are so happy for Obama, but when the same thing happens in Malaysia, we get offended. Clear picture of double standard.
We have put barriers among our selves. We have the Ketuanan Melayu concept, we have the social contract concept, we have the ‘pendatang’ concept and much more….US took more than 200 years to break it barrier, to end its civil war, to end its concept and to open up to a world that is beyond colour and race. Do we need another 200 years too?
Kemungkinan untuk pemimpin dari kaum minoriti di Malaysia? AAB katakan ia boleh berlaku, semuanya bergantung pada rakyat. Kadang – kadang susah nak tafsirkan AAB. Beliau tahu tak apa yang beliau perkatakan. Sistem Malaysia tidak memilih PM tetapi memilih parti untuk memerintah. Ketua parti yang menang akan secara automatik layak menjadi PM Malaysia.
Bolehkah ia berlaku dalam Barisan Nasional. Tak mungkin! Sebab BN terikat dengan Kontrak Sosial. Jadi tak perlu bazir masa untuk bercakap pasal BN, sebab ia sesuatu yang tidak akan berlaku.
Pembangkang? Tak Mungkin! Sebab selagi ada BN, mereka tidak akan benarkan ia berlaku juga. Mereka akan kaitkannya dengan Ketuanan Melayu, Kontrak Sosial, tidak menghormati sistem beraja di Malaysia, macam – macam lagi.
Datuk Onn, pengasas UMNO merupakan salah seorang manusia bervisi di Malaysia. Hampir 50 tahun yang lepas beliau nampak akan kepentingannya mewujudkan parti berdasarkan manusia, bakat dan kesanggupan untuk berkorban untuk negara dan bukannya yang mengikut kaum. Tetapi sama seperti yang berlaku sekarang, kekangan yang yang telah kita wujudkan sesama kita telah mengagalkan visi beliau. Mungkinkah Malaysia akan menjadi sebuah negara yang berbeza jika ia berlaku? MUNGKIN YA!
Daripada TAR sehinggalah ke AAB, kebanyakan pemimpin hanya telah memainkan irama yang sama sahaja. Justifikasi, untuk kebaikan Malaysia. Peristiwa 16 Mei telah kukuhkan lagi irama tersebut, telah mewujudkan alasan yamg kukuh utnuk terus memainkan irama tersebut sehingga sekarang. Najib juga, akan terus memainkan irama yang sama, begitu juga dengan pemimpin yang berikutnya.
Apa salah dengan irama tersebut, ramai orang akan persoalkan saya nanti. Kita telah berkembang sebagai sebuah negara yang maju dengan irama tersebut. Kita hidup dalam harmoni dengan irama tersebut. Jawapan saya ‘TEPUK DADA TANYA SELERA!!’
Salam Tun,
It is obviously the attitudes of those who have been wanting ‘change’ to non-bumi PM in Malaysia may have already their secret recipe booked, awaiting to be tried.
Are themselves willing to change? Unlike in America,employing people with certain language requirement is a prequisite in Malaysia for some time now, and this runs counter; if I am correct, with the social contract which has been accepted by every race in Malaysia! Why can’t this social contract be upheld, be thankful and continue leaving in harmony and resisting greed?
Look at China, India, Indonesia and other ASEAN countries. I suggest Malaysian take up citizenship in any of the aforesaid countries, make long-term effective planning to run those countries not only economically, but also change their leadership to meet your greed instead of being grateful to your host country. If you are successful, please bring home your secret recipe for every ‘glutton’ Malaysian to try and savour.
I like to end with :
“Kawan galak mudah dicari
Kawan manangih jarang basuo
Kawan hiduik paralu disalidiki
Indak jadi sasalan kasudahan nyo”
Salam Tun
Tahniah kepada Obama kerana terpilih sebagai Presiden berkulit
hitam pertama di Amerika.

Assalamualaikum, Tun.
Like everyone else in this world (excepting the Republicans), I ould like to wish congratulations to Barrack Obama for winning the election. I hope he would make a better president than Bush Jr, though Bush actually set the standard pretty low.
I’m mixed (half-Malay, half-Eurasian), so naturally I would have no problem with a minority becoming PM of Malaysia. But of course, he has to be pretty slick to successfully serve the interests of the Malays, Chinese, Indian, Eurasian, Sabahan, Sarawakian, mixed people, Punjabi…(who did I leave out? Oh well. Just call them Others and call it a day).
Tun, can you please comment on the whole issue of Ketuanan Melayu? Because really, it’s quite distressing to have a Malay lawyer (you-know-who) commenting on the negativity of this term without actually understanding the history of Ketuanan Melayu. Personally, the translation ‘Malay Supremacy’ is against the spirit of the term as it made it akin to ‘Aryan Supremacy’. Instead, one should see Ketuanan Melayu as a movement similar to ‘Black Pride’.
SEMOGA OBAMA BUKAN PEMIMPIN YANG MEMBAWA REBAH. CONGRATULATIONS OBAMA
asssalammualaikum tun,
ramai org kata amerika rakyatnya bagus tk pilih warna kulit..org kulit hitam bleh jadi presiden.
ramai org malaysia terpengaruh..ada antaranya nak malaysia jadi macam amerika tk pilih warna kulit…maknanya org cina,india dan bangsa lain bleh jadi pm.
perlu diingat org melayu mesti faham walaupun org america pilih obama sikulit hitam berlainan warna kulit tapi agama mereka tetap sama kristian…DIULANG LAGI SEKALI AGAMA MEREKA SAMA KRISTIAN.
Kita org melayu kt malaysia skrg ni sebenarnya tk kisah sapa yg jadi pm yg pentingnya pm dan ahli palimennya mesti org islam maknanya walaupun org cina,india atau lain lain bangsa agamanya mesti ISLAM.
wassalam,

1.Obama won because he work hard through his well managed campaign and young people brought in cutting edge technology.He work well with young and old generation.
2.Mistakes by Bush Jr also a factor why American sack him and his ilk. There
salam Tun,
I am not too thrilled whoever wins the American presidency.I am sure nothing much will change in their policy towards the Middle East.
I still remember Obama wore a skull cap in front of the Wailing Wall to appease the Jews.
DON’T THE AMERICANS REALISE THAT THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE IS TO BE FAIR IN THEIR MID-EAST POLICIES?
ps – I marvel at Tun’s suggestion to criminalise war!

Asalamualaikum Tun and the rest of the blogging world,
With regards to Obama’s major success in the USA’s 44th Presidency Election; I congratulate him. They might greet Obama “welcome to the white house Mr. President”, but I do suggest Obama to repaint the white house to the color black and called it the ‘black house’ instead, sounds cool though. Let’s see how the white people reacts. But I’m sure Obama is not that aggressive to do that as compared to the blood-thirsty aka oil-thirst George W. Bush Junior. Best of luck to you Mr. Obama!
Anyways, there’s a lot of inquiry above there whether Malaysia someday could have a non-Malay to be the Prime Minister. My answer is, “Malaysia Boleh”! It is possible for as long these conditions are fulfilled;
1) The Malay (Bumiputeras), Chinese and Indians are willing to send their children to a national school (sekolah wawasan). For the sake of better integration. Which means no more race-based school.
2) Malays are Muslims and they’re not usually racists. But Malays are prone towards religion. The Malays will accept a Chinese or an Indian president for as long they’re Muslims too. We have to accept the fact that Mr. Obama is a Christian and he is half black and half white. So these variants helps him to garner support from the majority White Christians.
3) The FULL usage of Bahasa Melayu for daily conversation, business and official. We can witness language integration can bind the society as what Indonesia is doing. In my hometown Sarawak, majority Sarawakians from all races are speaking in one common language; Bahasa Melayu Sarawak, also commonly knows as Bahasa Sarawak. This is a good way to promote or accelerate the integration process.
There’re a lot more factors I did not mentioned but these are the ones I believe (for now) the utmost important to achieve. Notice that its all about give and take, integration and consideration. I pray that Malaysia someday could be totally united under one banner, I always believe Islam is the answer.
YAB Tun,
Yes Barack Obama would be faced with an uphill tasks ahead to prevent economic catastrophe! However if he is willing to diagnose the problems objectively and apply unorthodox remedy he may be able to pull it off.
Direct bailout does little to ailing companies. Ad hoc measures would not work. The approach has to be a comprehensive one. Even our Danamodal, Danaharta, CDRC etc. approach may not be sufficient for America. They have to be creative and unconventional in overcoming this crisis.
Sekian.
Salam Tun, semoga sihat selalu dan sentiasa berada di dalam kasih sayang Allah bersama keluarga,
Saya baru habis baca illustrated biography Tun, apa yang ingin saya tanyakan ialah adakah benar cerita tersebut 100% atau ada yang di sedapkan atau tidak disedapkan.
Is it true that u want to be a lawyer before this? Such a simple and compact story. Anyway thanks a lot Tun
Salam Tun,
Congratulation to Obama! Seharusnya kita mengucapkan tahniah kepada beliau.
Apa yang berlaku di US telah dijadikan iktibar oleh rakyat Malaysia. Golongan2 tertentu sudah memasang cita2 untuk menjadi PM, persoalan yang sejak dulu lagi sentiasa melekat di dalam hati mereka. Saya masih ingat ketika allahyarham Tun Razak meninggal, saya berada di tahun 1 universiti. Saya terdengar perbualan 2 orang bukan melayu:
SiA: Tak boleh ke orang bukan melayu jadi PM?
SiB: Tak boleh sebab tercatit dalam perlembagaan
SiA: Tukarlah perlembagan.
Ya, kita tidak menafikan siapa2 yang berkebolehan dan berkelayakan layak jadi PM Malaysia. Tapi kita bimbang orang Melayu akan jadi melukut di negara sendiri seperti yang terjadi di Singapura. Saya rasa itulah yang bakal kita hadapi seandainya PM kita bukan Melayu.
Dan pemimpin2 Melayu sedarlah hakikat ini. KIta seharusnya memperkuatkan diri dari semua segi, politik, ekonomi dan sosial, barulah kita tegap memegang tampuk pemerintahan. Perbetulkan segala kesilapan dalam apa cara sekalipun.
Kalau di US orang kulit hitam seharusnya sangat gembira menerima Obama sebagai presiden memandangkan sejak awal mereka ditindas dalam banyak hal. Tapi di Malaysia tidak ada bangsa yang ditindas sebegitu rupa. Bangsa bukan Melayu yang datang bukan sebagai hamba abdi. Pada saya rakyat Malaysia apa juga bangsa ada yang miskin dan kaya. Malah kekayaan ekonomi Malaysia bukan dimiliki oleh orang Melayu pun.
Marilah kita bersatu tidak kira apa bangsa dan saling menghormati hak masing2. Sampai mati pun kita tak akan puas kalau kita tidak habis2 melihat hak orang lain sebagai hak kita! Fikir2kan lah.
/// 5. The Presidency of George Bush Junior must go down in American history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created. ///
Tun, sometime it is so easy to see the splinter in other person’s eye, but we cannot see the log in our own eye.
Have you done some introspection and look at the mirror lately? Have you thought about your own PM-ship? Paragraph 5 describes you to a T. Why did you think Abdullah Badawi came to power in such a huge mandate and an overwhelming victory?
Arrogant
Narrow-minded
Autocratic
Inconsiderate
Totally uncaring for the view of others…
Hmmmmm, I thought you are describing yourself during your 22 years in power…
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Obama dilantik sebagai Presiden AS ke 44. Memang benar beliau Presiden AS berkulit hitam yang pertama. Jangan kita terlalu gembira dengan perubahan ini. Kita belum tahu dasar luar yang akan dibawa oleh presiden ini. Belum apa-apa lagi beliau telah melantik seorang yahudi sebagai ketua staff rumah putih. Ini menunjukkan cengkaman pelobi yahudi masih kuat di rumah putih.
Merujuk kepada perkara 5 dalam tulisan Tun;
“The Presidency of George Bush Junior must go down in American history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created”
…Jelas menunjukkan persamaan dengan PM sekarang.
Saya nak minta pandangan Tun tentang pembayaran Ex-Gratia kepada 5 orang bekas hakim yang lebih RM 10 juta nilainya siap dengan pencen sekali.

Salam Tun,
It took 232 years before a Afro-American could be elected as a President. Mind that Malaysia is just 51 years.
Having said that, Obama is an true blue American. He speaks English, he attended the church, he don’t ask for Kenyan medium school or signboard.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
A correction is in order I believe? US presidents are elected every 4 years. So Obama has 4 years and not 5 to put the economy in order.
A passing observation by CNN indicates that among the southerners, more voted against the Democrats this time then in previous elections of Bush vs Kerry, Bush vs Gore and during Clinton’s two terms.
So, among the hardcore whites, race is still a factor.
During the campaign, none of the candidates belittle their citizens and their country. Bad mouthing the military is a no-no.
Could we say the same thing about our politicians? The Eurocopter issue is a clear example of how our politicians place their priority. Shouldn’t our military have the best? Shouldn’t the military leaders decide what is the best without compromising their justifications? Here we have a politician even suggesting that the present Nuri could still be in service for the next 20 years. Perhaps more death among our pilots are acceptable just so that we would continue to play second fiddle to our neighbors.
Tun,
Suppressing and not listening to the wishes of the majority will lead to the the change that we are seeing now.If malaysia keeps on mistreating the minority, then will will surely see the same change that we are seeing in US now.Suppression of the minority will never last forever.
We have seen many Africans countries whose leaders practice misrule and find themselves been overthrown out.
Malaysia have seen some of the changes during the last election but we still have not finish with the job of changing our government.
I think it wouldn’t be in the too distant future we will see that change that we all have been waiting.
I hope one day that there will be a malaysian ,without a ‘bin’ in his name,becoming our Prime Minister.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Tahniah kepada Obama,kemenangannya disebabkan krisis kewangan yang sedang berlaku di Amerika dan kebencian polisi luar juga kewangan Bush selama 8 tahun ini.Rakyat Amerika sedang merana dan menderita kerana hilang pekerjaan.Ini bermakna mereka hilang sumber pendapatan,tidak boleh bayar hutang dan berkemungkinan jatuh muflis.
Suasana persekitaran berpihak kepada Obama.
Kepada bukan bumiputera yang merujuk kemenangan Obama di Amerika berbanding Malaysia yang menyoal bolehkah bukan bumiputera jadi PM?
Jawapannya boleh tapi hendaklah beragama Islam dan kanalah tunggu 200 tahun lagi.Yalah nak tiru contoh dan teladan dari Amerika,kenalah jadi hamba abdi dulu selama ratusan tahun,barulah boleh berjaya seperti Obama,itupun bercampur juga keturunannya.
Dear Tun,
Nothing is impossible to happen but as for Malaysia to have a NON BUMI PM, all the citizen must be able to accept themselves first relating to religion, culture,education & etc… Or else there will be too many problems to face rather than to have a better life! Let take the right time to do the right thing!
Good day.
Walau macam mana pun mahupun siapa pun menjadi presiden kita mungkin takkan melihat perubahan dalam dasar luar AS..Baca Jerusalem Post dan kita akan lihat Yahudi berkempen untuk Obama…Atau cuba search di youtube ‘The Great Schelp’ macam mana kempen yahudi lama sebelum kemenangan beliau….cuba search ‘The Amero’ atau ‘North American Union’…Search kat liveleak. Tidak di nafikan ada kemungkinan kejatuhan ekonomi bukan sesuatu yang tak dijangka sama sekali…peralihan kepada mata wang amero mungkin propaganda sebenar mereka…[email protected]
Salam Dear Tun,
I hope you will proceed the actions to bring the iraq war criminals to justice. Bush and Blair must be charged on war crimes to thousands of innocent iraqis.
I believe many people around the world are on you side Tun. With your strength, you can turn the impossible to be possible.
Ybgh Tun,
Akan tiba masa nya White American menyesali diri menerima pilihan mereka. Saperti di Peru, di Kepulauan Tahiti (Mungkin Saya silap maaf – Rabuka).Dimalaysia, bila Melayu terlalu teruja gila kuasa, perkara yang sama akan berlaku.Kini sebilangan akan memandang White American telah hilang maruah diri.
Tapi, itu pendapat saya masa kini, mungkin dimasa akan datang pendapat itu akan berubah. Pentingnya apa kah Bangsa Melayu dapat menerima ini ?
Parameswara telah menjadi contoh dalah isu ini.
Mendoakan kesejahteraan Ybgh Tun dan Keluarga selalu.
Salam hormat Tun,
Tahniah kepada Obama kerana berjaya meyakinkan penduduk Amerika dengan memilihnya sebagai Presiden Amerika ke 44. Bagi saya, setidak-tidaknya beliau baik dari orang Amerika berkulit putih seperti presiden-presiden Amerika sebelumnya. Dengan latarbelakang yang berwarna-warni saya yakin beliau adalah pemimpin yang boleh melihat masyarakat dunia dengan lebih adil terutama bg menentukan dasar luar Amerika spt masalah Timur Tengah, dasar campurtangan Amerika terhadap negara luar, masalah agama kristian-islam, dll.
Dalam negara pula, selepas Dolah yg tidak bijak ini melepaskan tanggungjawabnya kepada Najib saya agak merasa khuatir kerana rekod Najib dengan beberapa skandal yg pernah “dilakukan atau tidak” secara terus mencerminkan beliau sendiri bukanlah pemimpin yang meyakinkan. Begitu juga pandangan dari masyarakat melihat Najib walaupun jauh lebih bijak jika dibandingkan dengan Dolah tetapi masyarakat seolah-olah merasakan satu “trauma” selepas mendapat PM yang tersangat bodoh dan tersangat kotor ( walaupun nampak di luar macam bersih ) seperti Dolah.
Satu kesilapan teramat besar yang Dolah lakukan sejak bulan Jun 2008 yang lalu adalah menaikkan harga minyak hingga ke RM 2.70 sekali gus. Sudah tentu kesannya inflasi mendadak. Sepatutnya kenaikan perlulah sedikit demi sedikit … apatah kita pun tahu harga minyak naik bukan disebabkan bekalan berkurangan tetapi hanya spekulasi belaka. Bagi saya dua individu yang paling bertanggungjawab di sini ialah Dolah yang bodoh itu dan Shahrir Samad yang nampak bagus sikit tetapi memang bodoh.
MALANGNYA DOLAH DAN SHAHRIR SAMAD INI TIDAK PERNAH MENGAKU KESILAPAN YANG DILAKUKANNYA. MAKA SEWAJARNYALAH DUA PEMIMIPIN INI TIDAK LAYAK BERGELAR PEMIMPIN PADA MASA-MASA AKAN DATANG.
Ramai pandangan-pandangan kawan-kawan dan ramai yang saya terima mengharapkan anak Tun iaitu Mukhris akan menerajui UMNO pada masa-masa akan datang dan bijak mentadbir Malaysia sepertimana kepimpinan Tun yang lalu.
Insyallah.

“OBAMA, CONGRATULATIONS!!!DON’T BE LIKE BUSH!!!!”
Something YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW ABOUT OBAMA..
Here at http://kurasan.blogspot.com/
YAM Tun,
Saya lebih berminat untuk memerhatikan apa yang akan dilakukan oleh YAB Dato Sri Mohd Najib Tun Razak dari apa yang akan dilakukan oleh Barack Obama. Masalah Ekonomi, Pertikaian dan kelibat kaum-kaum di Malaysia, Pengganguran, Dasar Ekonomi Baru dan cakap-cakap sinis orang bahawa Dato Sri Najib dikelilingi oleh orang 15%……Sekurang-kurangnya kalau Dato Sri Najib dapat megurangkan masalah ini di 100 hari pertama memerintah nanti, saya optimis, beliau akan bersedia menghadapi berbagai-bagai lagi masalah yang mendatang.
Dato Sri Najib tidak perlu bimbang untuk mendapat cetusan idea, kerana Malaysia mempunyai penasihat yang berwibawa lagi perkasa bernama Tun Mahathir Mohamad.
hi tun..
im totally agree with u.
testing on commenting on behalf of a friend
Tun, i agree with you that there are many factors that contributed to Obama victory. The Bush factor is important but not the single significant determinant. If it has such a great impact, I think Democrat should nominate others than Obama. The nomination of a black candidate in itself is a gamble. They know that the variable calls ‘race’ will enter negatively (confirmed by the Yahoo! poll), and might even offset the positive impact of ‘Bush’. Even a week before election, there is a worry of how big the ‘Bradley’ effect.
In John McCain’s gracious concession speech (Malaysian politicians should learn from this), this is what he wrote: “But that he managed to do so by inspiring the hopes of so many millions of Americans who had once wrongly believed that they had little at stake or little influence in the election of an American president is something I deeply admire and commend him for achieving” (i.e. Obama’s ability to connect with the first-time voters, and reassuring them of the American dream).
I listened twice to Obama’s victory speech. It is indeed very inspirational. I truly enjoyed his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention (the message of hope) and the three 2008 presidential debates. He is intellectual and has the ability to articulate his vision and policies well to the laymen (again, this is what Malaysian politicians are lacking and not even bother to work on). Of course, he got his input from a team of advisors but a leader should be able to understand and communicate to the people.
Personally, I think that the implication of Obama’s victory is not whether a non-Malay/Bumi can one day become Malaysian prime minister, but rather whether we will have such a leader who can inspire the people to come together and move towards vision 2020 (if it is still relevant).
Pretty much said about him and will him succeed is only in god’s knowledge.
But can we be thankful? Or the history of the year 2000 will repeat again?
There goes Al Gore comes Bush Junior.
Only time will tell…
The bail-out wont do much success albeit government interference that doesnt change the way they operate, unless government interfere on the root of the problem itself. America is going towards insolvent and world economy shall battered down, and Malaysia will get the tsunami too… Just be prepared.
Web of Debt (Ellen Brown) gives pretty much of that. How local currency can survive, how Argentina that once insolvent had out within a decade (though they are about to be declared insolvent again).
Take ur time to read more of her book. It can be found here.

Tahniah utk Barrack Husin Obama…
*bila pula turn anwar ibrahim??? mati berangan la jawabnya…
Salam Tun,
Tahniah kepada Obama.Semoga beliau dapat mentadbir negara Amerika dengan baik.Jangan macam si Bush tu….terlalu angkuh.
Ni berkenaan dengan ex-gratia yang di beri kepada hakim2 ,sampai ada yang dapat lima juta..dan ratusan ribu .. rakyat bertungkus lumus bekerja ada yang kena potong gaji dan tak dapat bonus..tau tau berita ini keluar.Apa tak melenting mereka…Ada patut ke ni…
Semoga Tun sakeluarga sentiasa berada di-dalam keadaan sihat selalu hendak-nya. Amin…
Sekian.
TUN.
Memang telah dijangkakan sejak bermula Obama menawarkan diri untuk ke rumah putih dia telah mendapat sokongan awal dari majority rakyat Amerika.
Dan tidak lah sangat mengejutkan Obama mencipta sejarah menjadi President Amerika yang pertama dari minority kulit hitam.
Sebab2 nya.
1.Obama bercakap bahasa yang satu. Bahasa Inggeris Amerika.
2.Obama pergi kesekolah yang satu. Sekolah Inggeris Amerika.
3.Obama mengamalkan budaya Amerika.Tidak langsung ingatkan budaya datuk monyang nya di Afrika.
4.Obama memakan makanan Amerika. Mengunakan garpu dan sudu.
5.Mungkin Obama juga mengamalkan agama majority Amerika.
6.Obama dalam politik nya langsung tidak menyebut atau cuba mempejuangkan hanya untuk puak atau kaum nya sahaja. Tapi untuk keseluruhan rakyat Amerika yang berbilang kaum.
7.Apa2 pun Amerika memang telah bersedia menerima President dari Kaum kulit hitam setelah negara mereka ditubuhkan hampir 230 tahun.
8.Dalam tempuh itu kaum kulit hitam telah pun menukar identiti dan melupakan asal usul mereka dan berusaha menjadikan diri mereka sebahgiaan rakyat Amerika yang mengamalkan segala bentuk kehidupan majoriti kulit putih. Dari nama, makanan, bahasa, budaya, dan keperjayaan agama. Dan menjadikan mereka satu bangsa Amerika.
9.Tahniah Obama.
10.Malaysia juga bolih jika semua rakyat negara ini benar2 telah menjadi satu bangsa Malaysia. Setelah semua kaum minoriti bersedia menukar budaya, bahasa atau agama atau pun nama yang melambangkan identiti rakyat Malaysia seperti mana kaum kulit hitam lakukan di Amerika.Tidak sekarang, maseh belum cukup dan memenuhi terma dan syarat2 nya.Mungkin 100 atau 200 tahun lagi tentu bolih.
11.Oleh itu semua kaum rakyat Malaysia bersatulah menjadikan satu bangsa Malaysia untuk kesahteraan masa depan.
Dear Tun,
Obama’s victory and by such a margin is indeed historic. However the journey for him has just begun and it is indeed going to be “Ranjau Sepanjang Jalan”. He has this messed up economic situation and very difficult foreign policy to deal with. Our only wish is for him to succeed. As he himself has said in his victory speech, it is going to be a long journey and it may not be completed in one term.
Now that a black man has been elected to be the next president of the United States, can the same happen here? I know America has taken many many years to come to this. But you can observe the progression towards this. In our country, the recent protestation with regards to the appointment to the top position of PKNS of a non-malay does not indicate progress towards this state of things. Indeed it is just one of the many top posts. All the others are held by Malays! Indeed the PM has said when asked to comment on this, “it is possible”. I would say that it is not probable.
Americans still some way to go to achieve colour blindness. Did we not observe that the people who came to hear McCain concede were almost all white?
Good day Tun
Poh
Good Morning Tun
I was shocked and amused at the answers given with regard to the RM10.5 million given to the former judges as ex-gratia.
If I am not mistaken they were all removed from office and thus do not deserved the monthly pensions and other benefits.
Since they were removed during your tenure, I would appreciate if you could give an insight of why they were removed from office and your comment on the ex-gratia
May God Bless you and your family
Assalamualaikum wbkt kpd semua.
sapa sapa lagi yang ada masalah seperti kena buang kerja dan yang sewaktu denganya masih belum mendapat pampasan sila berbuat demikian dgn memohon kepad pemimpin yang sangat pemurah di Malaysia hata di dunia,
sebelum Pak Tulah bertemu Ghzali tahun depan.Pesan saya jgan terkejut hasil yang anda dapat akan di POTONG 50% UTK Kj dan yang berkenaan…harap maklum.
Tun, I think that “Yes, we can” is something like “Malaysia Boleh”.
Just the difference is when “Malaysia Nak Boleh” ?
It’s a crime now to discriminate races in Indonesia.
Well, when will Malaysia move on forward ?
I really hope to see changes back at home as well.
It is time to stop beating around the bush about petty issues.
Tun, enlighten us with ideal way to make our country shine
in the eyes of the world for you’ve been wonderful in doing that.
Sir,
Something has changed in the USA. It is not just the hatred for Bush that has enabled a black man to become president. You know very well the Jews control America. There is a more sinister reason for this sudden change. I believe this is the beginning of the end for America as we know it. There will be lots of upheavals and then all that can be blamed on Obama. He is not going to have it easy. The white supremacists are not going to sit back and enjoy life. They will stir up all kinds of trouble.
Here in Malaysia will be the same if ever a minority leader becomes PM. There s no way Malay leaders will accept this. Just look at how they are reacting to the Chinese GM of PKNS. The Malay leaders will cause all sorts of problems for the alien PM. This is because they are very insecure and fear their rights will be demolished. Just imagine if UMNO loses the elections. Do you think they will just sit back and enjoy life? No way! This country will be in chaos. Still, one fine day the Malays will lose political power by their own doing.
1)Obama won – Just dont get excited too fast. He promised change alright, but can he overcome the lobbyist? This is a big hurdle, powerful people that have been puppeteering the presidents all these while.
Especially the zionist lobbyist, they are the strongest.
2)Democratic America – They can accept a Black as their president, but perhaps because they have been coined by this idea for some time, with sympathy for the President in the tv series “24”. Somehow I believe the series have been the mental preparation for Americans to accept a Black president. I will respect them as a truly Democratic country only if they accept a Moslem president, any color will be ok.
3)Minority as PM – If US can why cant we? If that’s the only reason we are doing it, then we are going to be condemn by our children.There is a huge different between us and them.For instance item no2 up there, where they dont accept Moslems, but here in Malaysia, Moslems are the majority.US is a real secular country where religous values must be left outside the congress, just like your wet umbrella, and pursue of happiness is a dogma that cant be challenged at all. Just like if we were going to debate about legalizing free sex, people like Dr Chxx definitely will go for it “with the pursue for happiness” argument and we the Moslems cant use our faith to defend our argument
as it contains undemocratic religious values. I dont think it will happen, but perhaps in 150 years time, with the local Democrats working hard to disseminate the Democratic values, perhaps religion will no longer be important in Malaysia Moslem’s life.
YABhg Tun.
I agree with you. The Americans vote againts Bush ( Rupublican) thus giving their votes to Obama,similarly like what our votes did in the last general election giving their votes to the oppsition just because they don’t agree with BN and UMNO.
TAKE THE POWER BACK***********
Yeah, the movement’s in motion with mass militant poetry
Now check this out…
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right
So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here’s the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I’ll drop the style and clear
It’s the beats and the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculum
I put my fist in ’em
Eurocentric every last one of ’em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We’ve got to take it back
Holes in our spirit causin’ tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I’m inferior? Who’s inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
Yeah, we gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
Hey yo check, we’re gonna have to break it, break it,
break it down
Awww shit!
And like this…
Come on, Bring it back the other way!
The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can’t recall
The student’s eyes don’t perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain’t my rope to swing on
Can’t learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin’ weathermen
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
‘Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
Salam Tun,
Hope Obama will be 1st black president that world will always remember. As Malaysians will always remember you forever n after. I will keep on telling your story to my child n grandchild.
Salam
Saya tertarik dengan ulasan saudara rozi66.
Sebagai tambahan yang merupakan pendapat saya, kemelut politik Malaysia dengan dukungan pemimpin yang tidak tegas menangani situasi dalam negara, telah memberi ruang kepada mereka-mereka mengambil kesempatan menuntut perkara yang terlalu sensitif, menyentuh perasaan kaum dan ugama bangsa lain. Dari meminta di adakan timbalan menteri bagi kesemua bangsa yang ada di Malaysia sehingga isu mahu mengguna nama Allah, mnengguna papan tanda jalan bagi semua bahasa yang ada di Malaysia,dll sehingga lah memohon bahagian ekonomi yang ada, dan permintaan yang tak masuk akal pun tak dapat ditangani dengan tegas oleh pemerintah. Malah pemerintah dilihat boleh pula kini bertolak ansur dan mula memenuhi pelbagai tuntutan tanpa menilai impak kepada nasib bangsa dan ugama Islam itu sendiri. Kelemahan pemerintah memberi keuntungan besar kepada golongan lain. Malah kekuatan asas ekonomi tidak berpihak kepada orang Melayu yang Islam. Dalam sekelip mata sahaja, kekayaan bangsa Melayu itu dapat di konsumpsi oleh kekuatan asas ekonomi bangsa lain. Umpama dengan petik jari saja, kekayaan orang Islam boleh bertukar tangan kerana lemah asas mereka.
Kita tak boleh mengharapkan pemerintah yang bukan berugama Islam untuk memelihara Islam. Ianya adalah mustahil walau macam mana baik sekali pun mereka kerana mereka tidak ada “roh” keIslaman.
Tetapi apabila ada pemimpin-pemimpin serta keluarga mereka yang berugama Islam adalah perosak kepada ugama Islam itu sendiri, maka tak ada beza nya kalau pemimpin di Malaysia ini bukan terdiri di kalangan orang bukan berugama Islam.
Ini hanya pendapat saya sahaja. Wallahualam. 🙂
Assalamualaikum Tun,
Now america has a half black half white for a president, maybe paving ways to the next jewish president…….well in UMNO we want change too, the change in the leadership as soon as possible before year end.
I wish that you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah are in the best of health and may Allah bless us all, wasalam. Hidup Tun Dr Mahathir aminnn..
My dearest Tun
A very good write up indeed.
Congratulations President Barrack Obama. The people of United States of America and the world must have felt jubilant for his great victory. Obama’s winning the Presidency race to the white House is deem to be most untimely. He certainly could have chosen a better time to make his presence felt. Obama faces a domestic economy ravaged by their falling home prices, rising unemployment, thinning industrial production and slowing down GDP in his country. He also faces a banking system savaged by epic greed and a public that is more cynical than ever about its leaders. Things are not looking good at going forward for him. The World is in a worst economic and financial crises at this moment. And the worst has yet to come. Looking forward for the Americans now comes the tough part: Bailouts as antidotes for a disastrous economy must be completely wash out. Weak and under performed organisations and institutions must be allowed to fail and a huge write off of their accounts in their books. More economic and financial stimulus packages will have to be implemented soon to re-generate the recovery of their economy. Creating new opportunities and new jobs for employment to be the catalyst of concern. To keep their interest rates and taxes at a level upon recovery. Prudent in spending in every field and putting a tight control of their dollar. Obama seems to be a lot smarter and more intelligent than Bush but America still needs to pray and wish for a miracle in months and years ahead to come. In God they trust.
Salam Ayahanda Tun. I have no desire to be a politician. I am happy just being the man I am now. Alhamdullilah. However, if by some means in a dreamtime, I turned out to be the
I noticed your view on the obama’s victory was quite similar to the political tsunami occured in this beloved country in march 2008. You said that people chose obama because of their hatred towards Bush. You also said that people voted for PKR because of their disapointment over BN @ PM. I beg to differ. I think credit should be given to obama for his tireless efforts and brilliant strategies. Bush may be a contributing factor but not the sole factor.
Assalamualaikum Tun,
At least buat rakyat diMalayasia, lain bangsa boleh mimpi satu hari boleh jadi PM mungking juga raja (kalau raja di elect oleh rakyat) kerna peratus antara bangsa2 hampir sama tapi buat negara jiran jangankan mimpi mati hidup balek 100 kali pun tak akan terjadi.
God Bless Tun & Family With Good Health
God Bless Malaysia and Obama
Assalamualaikum Tun, I agree with you that it is easier said than done…. I’m not too sure, at least not now, how far Obama can handle the lobbyist who writes national policy for US. Can’t wait to see a change in American approach in addressing the issue of Middle East Conflict. Otherwise, I will forever be skeptical about the ‘wave of change’ in American politics today…
Salam Tun,
Obama is half black and half white. I doubt that he’s elected as the President or even Democratic Party nominee if he is 100% black. I also doubt that he could be fair on Palestine. He once mentioned of the suffering of the Palestenian, and the Israelite condemme him for the choice of word ‘ suffering’ . Well, as long as he is better than Bush.
Tun, we might have a non Malay as our PM in 200 years time. But I doubt it as we in Malaysia uses different language as well as differrent type of School according to relevant races.
As for wanting Bush out, I agree wholeheartly on that. In fact there was an interview saying that Bush should be evicted now rather than this 20th January. I remember that once you have said that for Najib to have a different kind of administration, he must not choose people who are aligned to Pak Lah. Well, it is the same with Obama. He in fact offered a job to once Clinton’s chief of staff his old job back. I also hope that Dato Najib will offer your previous advisor to be his own advisor in the future. They had proven their capability and I am sure they will give the same good advise for him.
May citizens of Malaysia stay peace in more hundreds of years to come as we had for the last first 45 years.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN…
TAHNIAH OBAMA BAKAL PRESIDEN BARU AMERIKA. DI HARAP OBAMA TIDAK BERFIKIR SEPERTI ORANG YAHUDI DAN SENTIASA MENGINGATI ASAL USUL KETURUNANNYA.
BESARNYA EX GRATIA YANG DI BAGI KERAJAAN KEPADA BEKAS HAKIM-HAKIM TU. SAYA TENGAH BERFIKIR APA RASIONALNYA PEMBERIAN YANG BEGITU BESAR. RM 10 JUTA. PADA SAYA APA BILA PERKATAAN DI PECAT DI GUNAKAN BERMAKNA SESEORANG ITU TELAH MELAKUKAN KESALAHAN. DAN JIKA DI PECAT KERANA MELAKUKAN KESALAHAN KENAPA HARUS DIBAYAR DENGAN JUMLAH YANG BEGITU BESAR.
YANG PALING LUCU BAGI SAYA, SETELAH DAN SELEPAS DI BAYAR EX GRATIA. ADA DI ANTARA BEKAS HAKIM MULA BERSUARA DENGAN MENGHENTAM AYAHANDA TUN. RASA-RASANYA SEMUA ITU KERJA SI TALAM DUA MUKA TU KOT.
HARI TU SI ZAID SOKONG ORANG UMNO.LEPAS LETAK JAWATAN DIA MERAPAT KEPADA PAKATAN RAKYAT PULAK. INILAH CONTOH YANG JANGAN DI IKUT. HIDUP SEPERTI LALANG.
FIKIR FIKIRLAH
WASSALAM
Dear Tun,
I fully agreed with you on your comment!!! Obama has just came in at the wrong time during this worst financial crises since 1930 in the states!But i think all world learder’s especially in the middle east will welcome him and hope he will bring peace to the world.During these eight years during Bush he has brought nothing but war to the world and i believe this is the reason why the americans wanted change and that Obama won this election.
As for our beloved country Malaysia.I hope with DSAAB stepping down,DSNTR will also bring change to this beloved land.Hope Tun will beable to give him good advice and help him to bring our country on the right track!!!
God Bless Tun and Family With Good Health!!!!
God Bless Malaysia!!!
God Bless Malaysian!!!

The previous Democrat President, Bill Clinton, was said to be a very clever president. Even he could not solve the economic problems, but made them bigger. Therefore, it is doubtful whether Obama can solve them.
The Americans are a very indulgent race. They have overspent. As they pay for their excesses the world may suffer along.
Salam to Tun and all,
Obama – congratulation to him. Nevertheless, I am not optimistic about major changes that he can do to foreign policy and overall attitude towards palestine struggle/muslim world.
Non Malay as PM? – to answer this, we need to understand what “malay” means. From the track records, we already had few PMs that were/are not true bred 100% melayu. So does some of our minister from UMNO (mix Turkish, Chinese, Indian…u name it). So whats the problem? It is proven that malaysian as a whole is not racist. In fact, in this very sense, UMNO is a very accomodating party. Only few people (ignorance/ungrateful ones) stirred it up (off course with unterior motive). And yes, some absent minded UMNO leaders (even MCA) fell into the trap and started making unnecessary comments without realising that this is what the other party want them to do.
For me, personally, I dont mind having “chinese or Indian or others” as my PM as long as he/she is muslim, speak good bahasa (not like some of our MP in dewan rakyat …aiyooo sure ka these people born and raised in Malaysia?) and practise major malay customs. I dont expect Obama – a moslem, speak better Indonesian/Kenyan than English and practise African custom, like his father – to win the election. Obama, as what he is now, has been assimilated into American society and accepted as one of them.
Tun,
Can you touch on:-
1. “Ketuanan Melayu” – I beleive “Ketuanan Melayu” has been translated worngly (might be on purpose) as “Malay Supremacy”. I dont think our founding fathers intend that to be Malay Supremacy.
2. NEP – lot of comment to abolish NEP. Even some politician call for 30% to be taken away. My understanding is that NEP is a tool to ensure malay get bigger slice of pie (to even out the disadvantage) by increasing the economic pie (thus not affecting wealth of existing race negatively). Abundance mentality. If I am correct, then we need to correct the perception that NEP is an evil thing and taking firm action on those leaders/politicians that purposely misled others.
God bless all of us.
“Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created.”
Replace “Bush” with “Tun M”. And then replace “US President” with “M’sian Prime Minister”.
The magic sentence is “89% mandate in 2k4”.
🙂
Dear Tun,
I agree with Peter Yap though, Rafidah Aziz is very capable person and leader.. But she was suppressed under by some UMNO men..
Were they scared of her capabilities?? More superior than them??..
No way they let her be a lady PM in Malaysia..
I am not surprised, in UMNO, the men always controlled and only used the women to do some ‘dirty’ jobs and many times to only fill the courom.. During Election, all these ladies have to do the campaigning for them..
Rafidah is a very capable person.. She is very knowledgable and know all the infos of her Ministry at fingertips.. Her Ministry staffs are very efficient.. I had some chances to follow her during some Trade Missions.. Many men, Western, Japanese, Singaporean, Australian, you name it, look up very highly at her and praised her a lot..
But our UMNO men?? I have heard they just ‘kutuk’ her a lot for being very fast, or punctual, or very knowledgable.. It is very weird and upsetting.. Are they Scared?? Jealous?? Inferior?? Why?? I don’t know..
That’s UMNO!!
Anyone?? That’s why I say, maybe another 200 years..
Good day to you, TUN! l would really like to hear from you if this could happen in Malaysia. A non Malay leading the country as PM?
Yang Berbahagia Ayahanda Tun,
Salam
Maafkan saya kerana meluahkan perasaan tidak puas hati tentang pemberian ex-gratia kepada Ayahanda Tun di ruang ini.
Saya fikir semua rakyat Malaysia tidak suka tentang pemberian yang begitu banyak yang diberi kepada Hakim-hakim yang terlibat di dalam kes Tun Salleh Abbas. Apa Paklah ingat duit bapak dia ka bagi begitu banyak. Ikut suka dia nak buat apa dalam negera ini.
Kami yang bekerja makan gaji kadang cukup kadang tak cukup duit kerajaan senang-senang potong gaji untuk cukai pendapatan jika kerajan tak cukup duit dia buat rakyat macam pokok getah, dia toreh kiri kanan dan kalau tak cukup lagi toreh di atas pulak.
Eloklah Paklah turun cepat-cepat, sebelum dia terus melingkupkan negara dan rakyat ini. Siapa lagi dalam negara ini yang dah buat hal tiba tiba dapat durian runtuh begitu banyak.
Paklah cepat-cepat lah belah… belah belah,,, rakyat dah cukup menyampah dengan hang.
Maafkan saya Tun
tak tahan nak tunggu tun bagi komen dalam perkara ini
salam
Salam Tun,
If what you are saying here, trying to likened Bush to our very own DSAB, I have been feeling the same way for quite sometime.. Macam hampir sama je..
Terbaru bila press tanya, jawab, anyone can be PM… Open the door again.. Sigh…
Kalau saya, jawab ‘Kalau America ambil 232 tahun nak dapat other than a White President, Malaysia pun maybe 200 tahun lagi, pasal sekarang baru 50 tahun dan baru masuk PM ke 6.. maybe PM yang ke 44 baru ada chance kut!!’
I am also happy and excited for Obama.. Congratulations!! Rupanya maksud namanya , Barrack tu barakah in Arabic or berkat and blessed in English..
Interesting..but hope that he is not a copycat of Pak Lah. First election, wow!!record breaking. But then, what happen? Kantoi. Cakap tak serupa bikin. But, still dok goreng & promise sana sini.
Obama should learn from Pak Lah. Not because Pak Lah is good, but because he is teribly weak.
Another interesting thing, to read Dato Kadiaq Pak Jasin Tanah Merah’s blog today on pesanan Almarhum Syeikh Abdullah Fahim on what will happen to pemimpin yang…., ironically, its happened to his grandchild. God bless us all.
Obama has a lot to do, especially in repairing the damaged US relations with with the other nations, thanks to Bush and their allies.
It would be an easier perception that Obama could make changes and not police the world, as before. However as we have seen from our very own Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, there was never any intention to make any changes. Instead we see a decline in Parliment and we see no solution to our local predicament. It seems that Pandikar Amin Mulia loves to run the outfit his way, rather than provide equal fair opportunities to everyone.
So I expect nothing from Obama, or maybe with the slight exception that the US would stop bullying other countries into submission.
asalamualaikum bapak….
hehehehee…takder komen utk obama….
hati duk libang libu pasai ekonomi negara yg depa duk kata stabil…
kalo lah betoi yg depa kata duit sagu hati lebih 10 mil kat bekas hakim yg dah ada 2 pencen….SAYA HARAMKAN DUIT SAYA UTK DEPA2 MKN…
makan2 makan smpi kenyang…org tak reti malu tu lah hakim2 tu lah…
It has been an amazing experience to have witnessed first-hand the appointment of the first black US president. It was even more special for me as this was my first voting privilege as a US citizen (I am a M’sian immigrant). I maybe a “2nd class” citizen over here ) but it’s a whole lot better than being treated like one in your own “birth country”.
Where is the definite line between government, race & religion? There is none. What would it take before Malaysia sees it’s first non-Malay PM?
Berhati-hatilah dengan semua yang kelihatan cantik dan sempurna. Kecantikan dan kesempurnaan selalu membuatkan manusia alpa.
Ingatlah kisah Musang Berbulu Ayam. Dibenarkan masuk ke reban, habis kesemua ayam dirembatnya.
I came across a Prophet’s (SAW) prophecy in Mecca. It concerns the destruction of Kaaba in the future. For the last few months, I’ve this bad feeling that the Musang got something to do with it.
Dengan izin Tun
Hidup PAS ! Komen Nik Aziz bagus !
Congrats Obama !
Good evening,
How is everyone? Here i am another young malaysian who would want to wish Congrats to Barrack Obama for his victory.This aint a victory for him only, but for the victory for the world where this has proofed, people still would want to live in peace and harmony with a strong and capable administration in politics.
I hope Malaysian government could learn a little bit of the changes that has been made by the giant of the world in their politics ground.
Remember, Politicians, You came into politics with the vote of us..You serve us..Dont hide behind the curtain of religion to gain ur personal needs and deeds..If you do that, shame on you and your religion..
I hope, the harmony and unity in Malaysia can be achieved if all races have the tolerance attitude..
I can see there are a lot of racist remark above on every articles that Tun add…Hope you guys can see things globally..and not like Malaysian Politicians.
And Tun,
All the best..You let the malaysian to speak in your blog..Happy to see a lot of us giving ideas and opinions..Keep it up and god bless..
Thanks
“10. Obama will be hard put to find a solution. He has five years. If he fails it is not going to be good for the new President. Certainly it will not be good for the first black President.”
Sorry, Tun. I think there is a slip of tongue here. The length of the American Presidential term is 4 years. Therefore Obama only has four years and not five years as mentioned in statement 10 for serving as the First Black President of the United States.
I believe Obama is going to make wonder in the American Politics. The U.S. President has the power to give amnesty to illegal aliens who work illegally in the United States. If Obama knows how to make good use of this inherent power of a president, it is quite likely that the amnesty program will enable many siblings of the new immigrants in the United States to migrate to America along with their assets – both physical assets and intellectual assets. The new immigrants are going to rejuvenate the American economy if Obama really has the gut to open up America for the immigration by talents from all around the world, through the green card lottery system and through the amnesty program for illegal aliens.
If Obama really opens up America for the new immigrants, then many talented Malaysians may want to migrate to America. That may cause brain drain problem to Malaysia. Therefore I believe there are a lot of ways and means which Obama can still rely upon for overcoming the American economic crisis, provided always that the new President of the United States must learn to explore all possible ways to attract foreign talents and foreign investors to migrate to America.
Yes, Tun. It is easier to say change than to actually change. This is what is happening to PKR and other opposition parties here.
They seem to be talking about change and reform. They can keep on ranting but at the end of the day nothing happens. Same to Pak Lah. He kept on saying wanting to reform but nothing happens until now.
Cakap tak serupa bikin. Why? Because he does not know his priority. Always flip, flop flup decisions. Finally, all things become haprak and HP6. What a pity.
Assalamualaikum wbkt.
Congratulation to you also Tun Dr.Mahathir with your great thought and vision which we are proud as Malaysian. Certainly Obama’s victory is because of Bush’s failure. We hope it will change the entire worlds leadership with a dynamic leader with a good cause for the humanity.
We pray for the best and achieve good wishes to the entire world in peace and harmony. May Allah protect us from Dajjal and place us among the good people in the hereafter.
SELAMAT MAJU JAYA

Kalau pemilihan Obama sebagai kayu pengukur kepada sikap keterbukaan rakyat Amerika menerima pemimpin tanpa mengira warna kulit, kita di Malaysia terlebih dahulu mengamal sikap tersebut dan memberi pengiktirafan kepada ‘imigran’ untuk menjadi pemimpin di dalam negara kita.Sebagai contoh MB Pulau Pinang, Su Khon, Lim Guan Eng etc.
We still got a long way before we can really say for sure if there is hope afterall with Obama. Ok, so he’s the first black to become an American president. Is that a good enough reason for the whole world, including us in Malaysia to rejoice about? So his speeches are inspiring,.. but can he really translate all the hype and bravado into action with all the odds stacked against him? What really bothers me is how naive and how easy it is for the rest of us to become sucked in into all this euphoria in the guise of aspiring for change..Come on, havent we heard this mantra like a million times before from similar wanna-be leaders? and how much of them do actually come true if not miniscule to say the least..I’m not a pessimist but I’m also not a hypocrite. Let’s wait and see what his middle-east policies are before we put him on an undeserving pedestal..huh?
Dearest Tun,
We have witnessed history in the making where,for the first time an African American won the election by a landslide to become President of the United States.To me,Obama not only inspire American to feel good again but has succeeded in insipiring the world over.
The only time we in Malaysia feel that good was in my opinion, when you were winning one election after another, even during the more difficult time in 1999.But now, while the American can see the demise of the 8 terrible years under Bush, can we feel the same euphoria in Malaysia when Najib comes into power next March? I dont feel it and don’t see the euphoria amongst UMNO members nor amonst my legion of Malay friends,when it was announced that Najib has won the nomination to the UMNO Presidency unopposed.Perhaps it was only a Malay matter and therefore,has nothing to do with the rest of us who called Malaysia our home? But,like it or not Najib will become our leader and irrespective of race or religion we all have to accept him as the incoming PM.Because we are not in UMNO,we dont have any choice.
In the Star today,Abdullah Badawi said that anyone can become PM in Malaysia. He must be dreaming,ANYONE?If a highly capable lady called RAFIDAH AZIZ can’t even become UMNO President and therfore PM of Malaysia,how can ANYONE could become PM?
I hope UMNO will be insipred by the OBAMA election.Don’t even say anyone can become PM,to start with ,allow capable women within UMNO to rise.When no good enough male leaders are around at least a capable lady is better than an uninspiring male leader.
Since you left office, we in Malaysia have not been inspired.We need to have an inspiring leader now more than ever Tun,especially after the last 7 years of lackluster performance by our so called PM.Can we ?
I hate to say this but on Wednesday, for the first time in my life I envy the Americans!
Thank you Tun, for giving us those 22 inspiring great years.
Dear beloved Tun,
Obama has made it and proven black is accepted by the white American, but can he change the American and/or western policies toward Asia and Middle East? Let us see….
Back to Malaysia…will there be Obama in our society or politic, which is not in a good stage now? If PM has to be a malay, must he or she be from UMNO? What happen to those from Sabah and Sarawak??? Sabah, at least UMNO is there…Sarawak gigit jari jer ler..
Tun, Let
Assalamualaikum and greetings
My hope is that the relationship between US and other country will get much better especially with Islamic country like Iran. The US media play an important role to make the paradigm shift. If Obama really did something good, later people around the world will realize that all the previous problem cause by US policy are because of one man ( Bush)

Dear Dr,Mahathir ,your comments about Obamas’s victory was really amazing.Well,Dr.Mahathir taking into account the current political senerio in our homeland and the rhetoric made by the Prime Minister Dato seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawai that anyone from a minority group could become a prime minister of Malaysia,what’s your comment about it?
Salam Tun,
Regardless whether Obama or Cain won the election, it is almost certain that the american foreign policy will not change substantially especially toward the palestinians and its plight. Obama went to Israel and spent less than an hour with the palestinian leader and there was not even a press conference wheras he spent a lot of time with israel and had a press conference. He never bothered to check the suffering of the palestinians and the refugee camps. He does not believe in dividing Jerusalem ie one for the israel people and one for the palestinians.He wants it to be established as the capital for the jews. He went on record by saying that israel had every right to build the wall that isolated and marginalised the palestinians and he even defended israel when they bomb Lebanon. The americans i think just wanted someone other than a republican and compound with the fact that Bush was not exactly a smart person, they just wanted somone different. Obama, with muslim ancestors did not visit a single masjid during the campaign. I personally have bad feelings about american presidents regardless who is appointed. With the exception of President Carter and maybe Kennedy, I can’t see anything different from this president apart from the fact he is african american.Maybe he has charisma but to me performance is the key and not charisma. Let us see. Time will tell. …..
RM 10.5 million to those Judges, better than strike “SPORT TOTO Jackpot”
oh no ! my tax money has gone to nowhere. Poor me!
Dear Tun,
I supposed you know that who ever become the president of this Uncle Sam country, their foreign policy will remain the same and will not be changed. It’s hard for me to believe that he, Obama can ever change their foreign policy but then I believe he can only influence the congress to make change on it.
For the first black man to be the Mr President, I think Obama have to face a lot of critical situation such as the economic crisis now. I agreed with your views that it maybe hard for Obama to recover back the economic sectors of the country because I always subscribe to the truth that some politician will just make a fake promises to gain popularity then when they have it, all the promises will go on.
Anyway, I love all your articles and views Tun.
Thanks,
Tahniah Obama.
dear Tun
I totally agree with your points No 4-6.
Ohmama
Obama said Baitulmaqdis will remain as Israel city.???????????
Tun, u r 100000X better than obama
Yg saya kagumi Tun,
I remember many years ago, when you were PM, there was a national objection over a US text book portraying Malaysian living on trees. Soon after, in a comical respond, cartoonist Lat of NST draws a thick lips black American as the next US President. It was well crafted but majority do not believed it can happen and accept it as a humourous joke!
A joke it maybe, but, it is happening! Thanks to the arrogant bloody Bush.
However, this man says to the Jewish American that Jerusalem is an undivided Israeli capital! Hope he will not terrorize the Palestinian further….
Teruskan menulis Tun
Assalammualaikum ayahanda Tun dan Isteri,
Saya amat gembira bila Barack Obama menang. Harapan supaya pencerobohan tentera Amerika DI iRAQ dan Afganistan ditarik balik sepenuhnya. Isu Palestin ditangani dengan segera dan dasar Amerika yang angkuh di dunia dihapuskan seluruhnya
Salam Tun,
The WASP theory finally broken. The world regards Obama’s election as changes are possible in new political order. It recieved everywhere around the globe. Malaysia too, is’nt exceptional from this message.Malaysians non Malay including the chineses wonder that this changes might happen in this country too.They might wonder if they can get top leadership in this counrty..But, many conservative Malays read the Obama’s election is a blessing in disguise because it pulls the non-Malay to think that to get top leadership is very impossible and a silly question to ask..It brings these people to get down to earth and refer back to the constitution that bides them all. It took the united states almost 200 years to get a black president. So how come minority ethnics in this 51 years old land, who still send their children to vernacular school,remain their motherland identity, question the top leadership position? It’s useless. racial diversity still inevitable to deal with.
Hope all Malaysian can learn from the American. Pick the best to manage our lovely country regardless of his skin color race or religion. Only such mindset can bring prosperity to our country.
Salam Tun dan Toh Puan….
Tahniah buat Obama kerana berjaya menjadi org kulit hitam pertama dunia dan menjadi president AS.
Saya melihat perubahan senario politik di AS.
Saya mendegar sana sini mengatakan AS adalah negar yang demokrasi dan tidak pilih warna dan kulit.
Saya rasa bangga dan takut…adakah kita rakyat Malaysia bersedia dengan berita perubahan PM Malaysia adalah bukan Melayu? TPM Malaysia bukan orang Melayu?
Adakah orang Melayu sudah bersedia memegang tampuk kuasa no 2 sebagai TPM?
Adakah orang melayu sudah bersedia menjadi seperti Singapura ke -2?
Saya berharap Tun dapat ulas….ARUS PERUBAHAN JAWATAN TIDAK MENGIRA KAUM, AGAMA DAN BANGSA…
Sekian…
Dear Tun
Congratulation to Obama He knows the challenges he is going to
face is an uphill task taking over the white house at a very
difficult time and the world are in financial crises.
One of the challenges will be the Israel & the Palestinian issues
hopefully Obama will do the magic but resistance will come from his home grounds the rich and powerful jews who will try to dictate
behind close doors.
Obama is sharp and intelligent we wish him all the best to make this world a better place.
Tun we love how you analyze things keep writing…..
Take care…
Mahathir,
The way Obama received support all over the US was because of Bush’s failure to a large extent. Drawing a parallel in 2004 AAB and BN received unprecedented support was because you were the worst PM – the worst thing that ever happened to Tanah Melayu.
Very strange indeed, all the comments posted in your blog are of praises of you. Zero – as far as candid view is concerned. This shows you are still the old Mahathir, hears only what you like to hear and persecute those oppose you……you never change….and my wish to you never change too considering the atrocities you have committed over the years – live long until 200 hundred years too see your own and your family demise for sure divinity shall catch up with you.
Take care and life very long.
Regards,
Candid
SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
IZINKAN,
5. The Presidency of George Bush Junior must go down in American history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created.
THERE’S AN UNCANNY SIMILARITY IN THE ‘GENERAL ELECTIONS’ OF BOTH THE USA AND MALAYSIA.
SIMPLY PUT,
1. IN THE USA, WE HAVE AN ARROGANT, AUTOCRATIC BUSH (AAB)
IN MALAYSIA, WE HAVE AN ARROGANT, AIMLESS BADAWI(AAB)
2. THE CONSEQUENCE, AS PER AYAHANDA POINTER NO. 6 ‘.There was a lot about wanting to have Obama come in but there was more about wanting to have Bush and his ilk out…’
AS IN PRU 12, THERE WAS MORE ABOUT WANTING BADAWI AND HIS ‘KUNCUS’ OUT THAN WANTING THE THE OTHER SIDE(PR) IN.
3. THE PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE USA AND THE PRIME MINISTER ELECT OF MALAYSIA BOTH FACES THE DAUNTING TASK TO ‘SOLVE’ THEIR COUNTRY’S ECONOMIC VOES. OBAMA HOWEVER HAVE THE ADDITIONAL TASK OF THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND OF COURSE THE AL QUEDA.
WUD BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER ELECT BE ABLE TO SUCCEED IN TACKLING THE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS?.. WE DOUBT IT.
CONGRATS TO OBAMA AND NAJIB RAZAK AND BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH OF THEM.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
will Obama win if he is a muslim..???
Obama as a symbol of the social advance of the African-American population is powerful and attracting in the way that an addictive drug is powerful and attracting. I think, however, Obama as the chief executive of one of the bloodiest global empires in history is another story. The forces that assembled over the last 18 months or so to install this individual have ambitions that no-one, least of all the president-figure they’ve installed, is going to be in any position to deny them.
I commend to your attention three recent eye-opening articles about this aspect:
1 “An Obama Presidency and the Battle of Democracy,” at:
http://www.cpcml.ca/Tmld2008/D38158.htm
2. “Change once again the casualty in the U.S.,” at:
http://www.cpcml.ca/Tmld2008/D38157.htm#1; and
3. “Searching for a Commander-in-Chief as Deus Ex Machina”, at:
http://www.cpcml.ca/Tmld2008/D38156.htm
Let me add that I have long appreciated your clear stand in defence of the Palestinians’ long and just struggle for self-determination and rights.
Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun yang di kasihi,
Semoga di rahmati Allah hendaknya,
1. Tahniah kepada Obama, moga beliau dapat mengubah dunia ini kearah keamanan sejagat yang sebenar.
2. Tahiah juga kepada Dato Najib, moga dapat mengubah Malaysia tercinta kearah negara yang aman, makmur dan mewah seperti mana yang telah dibuat oleh Ayahanda Tun dulu.
Sekian Terima kasih

Dear Tun,
My hope for Obama is only one, that he will resolve the Palentinian/Israel conflict once and for all. This is the root of all these tireless wars, terrorism, Islam bashing, Islam fanatics and so on and on and on. And hopefully he will do it in a just way.
How I wish you are still the Prime Minister where your voice will be heard around the world and yes sometimes you did make a difference.
I hope he live long enough to fix up the problems.
There is speculation that other agncies in US are lookng into the tight security over Obama.
If Obama was last in his class and still became American president then it is also possible for Khairy!
Salam Tun,
It is possible that someday Malaysia have a Premier who is either a Chinese or Indian. Anything can happen nowadays. Few days back we saw a black man elected as the President of the USA. I wonder if America will have a White Muslim President or a Black Hindu President in the future. If that happened,all I can say…”America, you are truly The Land of Opportunity!”
Pak lah said that anyone can be a PM, atleast we want that person to be a muslim because this is an Islamic country..I don’t mind if the person is a chinese,indian or who ever as long as he is a muslim..Anyway most malaysian PM is not full blooded malay..For UMNO if u guys want to improve urself please open up admission of non malays that are muslim so that it would not be a one sided party..atleast the malay strugle can be uphold and the religion on the malay that is islam is also included.
Dear Tun,
Do we see some historic change in Malaysia as well? Will there be any possibilities for Chinese or Indian to become the Prime Minister?
I guess we need to have some change right?
Regards
It is indeed a milestone in the history of America that the 44th President of the United States is going to be other then a white person. It is almost beliving in a fairy tale which has become a reality. It only goes to show that the American people has a nation has come a long way from a history of segregation and racial bias. Congratulaqtions to all Americans of all works of life. I certainly agree with Dr Mahatir that the vote for Mr.Obama is more then just choosing a man of different complexton. It’s more to do with the voters utter dispair and a total rejection of Mr. Bush and his policies that has brought so heavy a plight on the good people of America as well as the rest of the world. Probably Bush and his croonies will be recorded in the history books as the worst moment in American political history . As they say ‘good riddance to bad rubbish’ lets hope and pray to God that this time it may really be ‘CHANGE’ for better world and certainly better politics.
Tun,
You said that “But attitudes have certainly changed radically among the white people. Their support for Obama is overwhelming”.
I beg to differ.
Based on the exit poll, only 43% White Americans voted for Barack Obama, whilst 55% voted for McCain. Barack Obama largely won because the Black American came out in droves to vote, and hence the very high voters’ turnout. 95% of Black voters voted for Obama, with only 5% of them voted for MCain. The tilt towards Obama actually came from Latinos, Asians and other voters when 2/3 of these segments of voters chose Obama.
Racial voting is still apparent in USA, with the Black American trying to make sure that their kind will be the next President. Nation-wide, White Americans were more liberal, resulting in the tilt towards Obama.
Obama didn’t manage to penetrate the Southern states, where white supremists still exist. In Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, Obama managed less than 15% of White votes. In other Southern states, only 30% of Whites voted for Obama.
Similar situation may occur in Malaysia. The Malays are becoming more liberal (or otherwise, more divided). When the other races come out indroves to vote against UMNO and its allies, the Malay political power will be diminish.
http://www.jurublog.blogspot.com
When I read your article, it reminded me of your previous writings about why people voted for Pakatan Rakyat, simply because they disliked Abdullah. It is not that people liked Anwar, but they disliked Abdullah more than Anwar, so they voted for Anwar.
Pakatan Rakyat=Democrats
BN=Republican
Anwar=Obama
Abdullah=Bush
I think it is most important for Obama to act. It will not be good if his speeches are good, but cannot respond to the people highest ever expectation on him because of lousy Bush.
wah.
semacam gaye Tun M nak cakap pada orang tu pula.
^^
May he does not lose hope.
salam TUN……..
inilah yg dikatakan THE POWER OF PEOPLE VOICE seharusnya ahli2 UMNO ambil ikhtibar drpd peristiwa ini….kita adalah penentu pemimpin..
wish u good luck to you…TUN DR.MAHATHIR
Dear Tun,
Now we see, Obama 1st ever black american president. American not only for white people, American also for all American. What about Malaysia? only for whom?..I still remember your word Malaysia Boleh…
Salam Tun,
obama mempunyai tempoh empat tahun bagi penggal presidennya. diharap ada perubahan dasar luar negaranya.
Tun,
I guess is time for you to update your thoughts about America.
You have given lots of bad example on America but with Obama being the first non-white President, this shows a lot that American has changed.
I can say, your 20yrs as PM, you don’t work towards for the day that non-Malay will be PM in M’sia. Shame on you…what’s so good about 2020 when M’sian is not assimilated through thoughts.
Your thoughts are obsolete that you think assimilation must goes through tangible change.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM TUN,
SAYA JUGA INGIN UCAPKAN TAHNIAH KEPADA BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
SEJARAH TELAH DICIPTA OLEH BELIAU DI AMERIKA
MAKNA OBAMA DALAM BAHASA JEPUN ADALAH PANTAI KECIL
WALAU PUN KECIL SAYA RASA DIA MAMPU MENAHAN OMBAK YANG SENTIASA MENBADAINYA
CUMA YANG SAYA RISAU BUKAN OMBAK TERSEBUT TETAPI TEKANAN DARI DARATAN YANG MEMANG SUKAR DIRAMALKAN
DAN AKAN MEMUSNAHKAN IMPIAN SEJAGAT AGAR PERUBAHAN AKAN BERLAKU

It is not 5 years.
It is actually 4 years (1 term).
The, he has to seek for another re-election for the second term.
tun, i think the term is 4 not 5 yrs… i hope he really can bring changes……
Hi Tun,
Obama will certainly have a hard time. However, I believe he will succeed.
Tun jaga kesihatan & say Hi to your wife 🙂
Assalamu’alaikum Tun,
Certainly Obama’s victory is a celebrated one not only in the US but also worldwide. Those in the US really believed in Obama’s determination to bring in change and they are hoping that it is a change for the better. So is everyone else around the world. But only time will tell.
The question is how about us in Malaysia? Are ready to support the change in our leadership come March 2009? Will we be as overjoyed and ecstatic as those in the US were yesterday when Obama was elected as their President. I believe our incoming leader also deserves similar if not less support & confidence from the people he is going to serve.
When our outgoing leader when commenting on Obama’s win was quoted in a local daily today that ‘anyone can be PM’, such statement would only create distrust & disharmony amongst the people. I am not disputing his statement in any way but I am saddened with the fact that the leader failed to see the implication of his statement especially during the ‘pre-transitional’ period. I was expecting our leader to have said something like – Obama’s victory is not about the winning of a minority or a majority of certain community group and it shouldn’t be looked in such a way. But it is a win for that party in particular and the nation as a whole. So the same should also apply in our country which for the past 51 years its people have accepted that the leader from UMNO shall be the PM and most importantly when he is the PM, he is the PM for all Malaysian irregardless of race and religion. All i can say is … Sigh! ….
May Allah bless you Tun!
Hope Obama can really make a change. But to change the way Americans lives? Thats the hardest part.
Hazman Abu Bakar
Assalamualaikum Dear Tun,
Your analysis on Obama’s future as the 44th President of America is certainly true. Obama had promised change to the people of America and the world at large. Obama has inherited an America which is ailing. The biggest challenge that he would face is the financial crisis. The US is running on a USD 1 trillion deficit and I wonder how Obama is going to rescue ‘Main Street’ and not ‘Wall Street.’ It was Wall Street that had funded him all this while and put him in the Oval Office!
The media hype and the ‘larger than life’ portrayal of Obama has increased the pressure on Obama. The Americans seem to believe that Obama is the man who is going to alleviate America from disaster. How far this new superhero would be able to save America, no one knows.
But for now, I rather give the benefit of doubt to this man who had defied the odds in becoming the first African dissent to be the Commander in Chief of America. Let

Salam tun yg dihormati,semoga ada sinar harapan dari pentadbiran baru obama,tunggu dan lihat.Paklah adalah seorang pemimpin yg sangat terbodoh kerana bayar pampasan kpd hakim2 yg durhaka kpd Raja dan negara,10.5 juta nilainya termasuk pencen selama 20tahun.Apa hak paklah utk bayar duit rakyat begitu saja,desak pulangkan duit itu segera atau haram makan duit rakyat seluruh Malaysia.Heret paklah dan konco2nya kemuka pengadilan.Harap Tun ulas perkara ini terperinci dengan segala dokemen.
Assalamualaikum Tun, as good as it seem, Americans have been divided into 2 blocs with different style of leadership and aims. it is hard to now which one is better for us but most of the Democrats Presidents were a bit tolerant and much more easier for the rest of the world to digest. Yet, it is still early in the morning and the new-elect USA president not even step foot in White House. With the new rising of hope, we see new enemies of young white radicals especially parading violence to kill the new president. I wish all the best for Obama and really hope he will change the world like you Tun who change Malaysia. Be Healthy- Jizurimin
Assalamualaikum YBhg. Tun, saudara2 seagama & Selamat Sejahtera saudara2 seinsan,
Mungkin ada kebenaran didalam pandangan Tun pada No.6 & No.8 kerana sejak dari dahulu lagi Pemerintah atau Pemimpin dunia sentiasa ada strategi dan perancangan di dalam pentadbiran mereka yg nampak dimata, bersih dan bersebab tertentu namun menafaat dan faedah atau keburukan sebenarnya hanya berada atau diketahui olih Allah dan perancang serta sekutu2 nya sendiri.
Contoh terbaik yg paling hampir dan masih dalam ingatan kita semua yg berlaku di dalam pentadbiran USA ialah :
a. Benarkah pengeboman dan kehancuran WTC pada 11 September, 2001
di lakukan olih puak Al Qaeda yg kemudiannya menghalalkan USA
untuk menyerang Afganistan atau hanya satu gimik pemerintah utk
USA mendapat faedah tertentu apabila menakluk Afganistan.
b. Negara Iraq diserang dan Saddam Hussin di hukum gantung konon nya
negara tersebut menyimpan senjata pemusnah yg merbahaya serta
akan mendatangkan ketidak kestabilan di rantau teluk atau hanya
satu lagi gimik pemerintah USA bagi mendapat faedah tertentu
kerana berada di dalam keadaan tersepit.
Kebanyakan negara2 dan rakyat di seluruh dunia mengutuk akan
tindakan Presiden USA ini termasuk rakyat mereka sendiri.
Kini tidak hairan bagi saya hari ini nama Obama yg bakal
pengganti Presiden USA begitu gah, dipuji dan di sanjung di
seluruh dunia sebagai orang berkulit hitam pertama akan menjadi
Presiden USA dan membuktikan bahawa orang kulit putih di USA
tidak lagi prejudis terhadap orang kulit hitam dengan
memberi sokongan yg padu kepada pemimpin kulit hitam ini.
Jika Obama telah dapat menyisihkan pandangan negatif dan anti
USA di mata dunia kerana kemenangan nya maka telah berjayalah
USA dan pemerintah di dalam peperangan nya di Afganistan dan
Iraq. TAHNIAH AMERIKA DAN RAKYATNYA.
Tun,
ASM. Nampaknya apa yang mereka experience sama dengan kita alami pada PRU 12. Bendera Malaysia macam bendera US…. Hope kita belajar dri kesilapan.

Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun ,
Saya berumur 30an . Selama ini mmg tidak mengikuti pilihanraya Amerika namun kali ini berbeza .
Mungkin kerana manusia yg bernama Obama ini . Berkulit hitam , pernah bersekolah di Indonesia .
Harapan saya dan juga manusia dunia ini agar beliau dapat membawa perubahan kepada keamanan dan kedamaian dunia ini .
Terima kasih Tun , semoga sentiasa sihat dan panjang umur .

New era for U.S Tun….Hope world & M’sia economy will be much better…:)
From aFiF….
Salam kepada YAB Tun dan rakan2 bloggers,
1. Nampaknya kemenangan obama lebih kurang kemenangan pembangkang dalam pru12…bukan sangat krana pembangkang bagus, tetapi ramai orang menyampah BN, menyampah dollah dan suku-sakat.
2. Macam dollah dan najib, bila dah kelam-kabut ekonomi, baru di ‘pas’ kepada najib. Najib akan diukur dari segi prestasi tetapi bukan mudah kerana keadaan semasa najib naik nanti memang sukar, dari segi ekonomi. Obama juga mewarisi ‘taik’ yang dibuat bush.
3. Cuma minta2 najib guna duit rakyat betul2…kalau salahguna, maka najib pun patut ditendang keluar. Najib memang ada rekod ‘akal panjang’ untuk buat duit. amerika juga yang mendapat pinjaman untuk menangani masalah ekonomi diharap tidak menyalahguna wang itu.
4. Kesimpulannya, itulah hakikat – jika pemimpin tidak bagus, sombong, besar kepala…maka ramailah yang akan menyingkirnya dan menggantikan dengan sesiapa sahaja yang ada.
Tun, minta2 lebih ramai yang dapat mengambil iktibar daripada apa yang sedang berlaku ini.
4.
me too
Salam Tun….
Tahniah Untuk Obama and Tahniah Untun Tun……..
Dear Tun,
Sounds like they’ve voted Najib in just because we’ve had enough of Dollah Badawi.
ONLY NAJIB IS NO OBAMA.
Take care Tun.
Assalam alaikum
YABhg Tun,
Tun, what was happened in U.S. political landscape means that it can be repeated in another states around the globe. We are now in 21st century and we know heading to the 22nd century.
Political no more longer based on colour of skin or “Ketuanan.” Obama wins the U.S. Presidential Election are the answer.
If Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Rosa Park, is still alive today, they absolutely the most happiness African-American on the earth, on the successful of Barack Obama to holds white House Office. Barack Obama has make “my sweet revenge” for the African-American whose had been suffered under racist.
I still remember what I read from the book, tittled “White Racism.” Its make me realize that to be a leader, it does not count our skin or our blood.
The winning of Barack Obama too will change the world political landscape if he did not get the same fate like John F Kennedy.
Tun have you read “The Great American Hypocrites?” George Walker Bush was the hypocrite.
I still remember that the government of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi takes many efforts to being freind with George Bush, as the same with John howard and Tony Blair which you labeled them as discredit leader, cheater, and war criminal.
The quartet already lose not by their enemy but by their own people.
For Umno/BN, I hope Datuk Mukhriz bring “change” as what Obama tag line “WE NEED CHANGE.”
Wassalam
Salam Tun..
1) Hopefully Tun is sihat walafiat seperti biase. Saya doakan insyaAllah.
2) The new journey of the new world is now depending on who are the lobbyists behind on this Obama campaign.
3) If in the Bush era, most of the lobbyists were from defense contractors, so thats why US attack here and there to used their weapons. More weapons used, more profit to the lobbyists.
4) Everybody is watching, and everybody is speculating. Lets just hope the new era will give us some benefits, especially on the issue of middle east.

hey Tun,
u were thinking of it is impossible for a black to becomes a President is because of your malay supremancy mentality. now i think you have to change your mind…
Y.A.Bhg Tun…
Assalamualaikum Tun, I hope you are in your best of health…I never failed to resist browsing your blog no matter how busy I maybe…just to read through your comments on issues local and international…A good writer you are indeed…and as
I am pleased with his (Obama) victory as the first ever an Africa-American President of the United States its history in the making…I joined you in congratulating him and to all Americans…
Firstly, for the first time in history, more than 40 years after kennedy remarks that it is possible that one day a Negro will be a US President….that time has come….
I guess…the world knows that it will not be easy at this point in time…even Obama admitted that it may take a full term or more…the change maybe a reality…the whole world will be watching him…how effective is Joe Biden foreign policy experiences help is yet to be proven in handling matters like…
Pulling troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan may not be as easy as he had planned…probably takes more than 18 months or more…
And I assumed he’ll have to look seriously deep into the critical issues first before embarking into the usual US foreign policy…1. the middle-income earner & needs… 2. restoring the wall street is a priority…3. putting people back to their jobs etc…
Y.A.Bhg Tun, I couldn’t agree more with your vast experiences in politics and personal views regards to the Bush administrations or The Republicans… for 8 years, Bush has pushed American people to the very limit and driving them to the wall….and contributed more or less 50% towards the people acceptance of Barack Obama…and the world is tired of The Bush’s foreign policy too…and it has more or less tarnished the US images…
And as for McCain… he’s out of focus and has done some bad moves…age maybe another factor….its a big mistake having Gov Palin on his side…he so much of war heros story and Bush’s political war game….
I have the honor to participate today in your blog Tun for the first time though I was following it since its commencement. I can
Assalamualaikum TUN,
Sikap MCCain amat terpuji. Walaupun kalah bertanding, tapi dia mengajak rakyat AS bersatu untuk sama-sama membantu Obama. Tapi di Malaysia, pembangkang kita terus mencetuskan suasana tegang sehingga menakutkan pelabur.
SATU lagi Tun, saya terkejut apabila kerajaan mengaku membayar RM10.5 juta sebagai exgratia kepada enam hakim yang didakwa dipecat oleh Tun dulu. Kami ingatkan hanya ratusan ribu saja tapi juta-juta. Apa sudah jadi ni? Seperkara lagi, kenapa selepas bagi RM10.5 juta, hakim Ian Chin dan ada bekas hakim mula nak cari salah Tun tapi Ian Chin akhirnya didapati tidak ebrcakap benar.
Salam Tun,
I’m just wondering, do u think it is possible to happen in Malaysia? I mean the equal rights in politics among races. Because I don’t see why not.
Only if we are not ready yet, Of course.
Or should we wait until PRU-44 (or more) to see our politics have become matured and self-sustained?
I’m just wondering…

President-elect Barack Hussein Obama ended his victory speech yesterday with this paragraph:
“This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time – to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,
Building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and
Dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is
Warm and well fed.The grasshopper has no food or shelter,
So he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Be responsible for yourself!
——– ———————————-
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long,
Building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and
Dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press
Conference and demands to know why the ant should be
Allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and
Starving.
CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of
The shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his
Comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is
Stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this
Poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and
Everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the
Ant’s’ house where the news stations film the group
Singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the
Group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s
Sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with
Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the
Grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the
Ant to make him pay his fair share.
Hillary and Barack go on national television agreeing that
The plight of the grasshopper is the fault of George Bush.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the
Summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number
Of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his
Retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the
Government.
Obama gets his old law firm to represent the grasshopper in
a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried
Before a panel of federal judges that Bill Clinton
Appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the
Last bits of the ant’s food while the government house
He is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house,
Crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident
And the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of
Spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.
MORALE OF THE STORY:
Be careful who you vote for…

Greeting and hope find you safe and healthy.
So much of the drama on the first black American President, let us look back to ourselves whether one day, Malaysia, can have a non Malay Prime Minister. I dare not continue to write further. Just too much to write and too little to worry about.
The good thing about the US is the elected President acts as the President of each and every state. No ambargo is practised to non supporting states, no double standard practised openly and the constitution is fully observed or at least not publicly violated. Unlike in Malaysia where the PM openly acts as a party leader when ruling the country.
Najid even before taking post as PM have already shown his arrogance and disrespect to the people by ignoring any challenge to the budget. He fails to notice that behind each and every MP’s there are the rakyat who will vote again at the next election. Rakyat who wants to be sure that the budget tabled will be for the best interest of the nation and not a syok sendiri budget nor a cosmetic one. At this time of difficulty, we don’t care whether the solution comes from DSAi or Sammy Vellu or DAAB or Najib or even Chef Wan. What’s the best for the country for us is what we care about.
The nation need to be saved from this kind of arrogant, politically sick attitude of the leaders. If only Tun can step up again to dicipline them again.
Salam Chedet…
We hope everything will change expecially what is happening in Iraq n the rest of the world. President Obama must take this oppurtunity to make it(at least) ballance and show to the world.
This will be a superb challenge for him to show to his countrymen and to the world that it is not difficult to be a good leadership. Everything is there..he just need to perform. He have to be a very focus man surrounding by all white thinker.
Obama emits aura of goodwill through his charismatic voice, but a favorable voice alone is not enough to answer to the american people’s high hopes that was put onto his shoulders.
America is in a phase of sinking, the economy is bad, people are losing jobs and everyone is worried.
But Obama brought hope to these people; even to non-Americans. Since when did you see people from outside of America waving American flags, instead of burning it?
It is the end of the Bush regime, lets just hope the new one is not as bad.

semasa tun memerintah saya dapat merasakan pembangunan danga bay
tapi sayang projek tersebut separuh jalan sahaja selepas jambantan baru dibatalkan.
saya terkilan dengan pembatalan tersebut.
kompleks kastam yang cantik menjadi buruk apabila diubah pelan di saat akhir. kesesakkan x dapat juga diatasi.
kalau sesiap pernah ke dangan bay, anda akan dapat lihat di sempadan singapura yang menghadap malaysia, semua kilang2 bibina untuk menghancurkan projek danga bay. kerana mereka takut dengan danga bay apabila berjaya kelak.
saya harap tun dapat mengupas sedikit isu jambatan ini.
adakah najib akan sambung semula projek ini.
bukankah projek jambatan PP sudah dibatakkan..

i’m a little bit affected by this Yes-WE-Can fever. i’ve never been so excited by any other world leaders besides my favourite Tun Dr. M (you’re the one i grew up with ..n definitely the best!!) =) but im a little over the moon when obama got to be the president! when i came to think about it… i’m just glad General Georgie’s time has finally ended!!! whoever won the election, i couldnt care less.. just as long as he is a little less cruel, stone-hearted than bush jr.. he’s a way better leader already! coming from a multicultural background.. he should know better!
p/s: ive seen the video of the response of the chicago crowd to his victory speech! if only we could have a moment like that, where everyone come together regardless of their backgrounds and culture, and just be a group of proud citizens! Yes we can,… no?
=) peace out!
Salam Tun,
When I read your blog i always have so many things to ask you,
It seams like you know everything,
But my first qoustion to you would be, Who is the next Mahathir after you for Malaysia?
Please don’t say it is your son.
Obama or anybody for that matter I would care less, Malaysia need the next Mahathir more than ever now.

US election tu sengaja di buat style lama, supaya banyak orang2 democrate susah nak keluar / malas gi mengundi. Now orang2 democrate telah sedar dan keluar mengundi dgn banyak sekali. Jadi menanglah democrate dgn senang. Mungkin akan menang selalu jika trend ini berterusan…
wassalaam
Dearest Tun,
Talking about bush, blair and including bedolah agaknya future historians will name the early years of the millennium, as “the period of blur” agaknya.
Obama will be facing uphill battle. Same with DS Najib. Therefore, the period from 2009 onwards, historian may call “the period of spring cleaning”. But the question is can Obama be effective as the “Tingkat 4 gang” in US is really powerful. I will not be surprised if after 16 months the US army is still there in Iraq and maybe has gone into Iran, no matter what Obama says now. Walk the talk is not easy.
Warmest regards to you and family. Wassalam..
Congratulation to Mr Obama for his triumph. Following his win yesterday, talks have been looming in Malaysia that whether there could be possibility that the PM of Malaysia goes to a non-Malay one day. This is a very unhealthy and hurting discussion for the Malay’s feeling. It is undeniable fact that Malay is the only righful owner of this land and we are the majority. We will sacrifice everything to make sure that Malaysia will not follow what happened in the US. The PM post in Malaysia should always go to a Malay as this is provided in the Consitutions of Malaysia. The non-Malay, even they have also contributed to this country, they are fated to be subordinated to the Malay and should not ever think about the same thing happened in US. Malaysia belongs to the Malay and nobody should ever challenge this.
Dear Tun,
I have referred my thoughts about ‘A Little America in Malaysia’ on the URL of my own family blog posting.
I want to also mention that many years ago, I joined a long queue at your home for a Raya Open House to shake your hand with your wife beside you. I admired how both of you would have the courtesy and patience to personally meet all your guests. I commented to my children with me that this would never be possible in the United States with the President and First Lady. When it finally came up to my turn, with a firm grip I said to you, ‘It’s an honour to shake your hand’ in which you immediately responded, ‘It’s my honour to shake yours!’
Tun I never forget those humble words from you and it only affirmed the kind of man I always thought you were, knowing you only from my enjoyment of reading your articles in the newspapers.
May God Bless you and your family and all of us in Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh!
Kita manusia,semuanya sama,hamba kepada Pencipta serta cucu cicit Nabi Adam AS dan Hawa.

The reason for Republican defeat were sound familiar to me but the election outcome…… BN…..eem..God knows why!!!!!Best health TUNs.
Yup… people really hated Bush Jr. Obama have to be careful and hopefully have a plan to get out of the mess that Bush had created. Good luck to him.
Tun,
Obama dan pesaingnya2 menggunakan pengurus kampen, pelobi dan perayu undi secara SAH dalam usaaha memenangi Jawatan President Amerika. Ini bermakna wang, peluang dan lain2 bentuk balasan adalah RASUAH yang dibenarkan di Amerika…
Dinegara kita, Khabarnya calon timbalan, naib presiden dan lain2 jawatan tinggi ataupun diperingkatat bawah dalam UMNO turut menggunakan pendekatan sama…tapi dianggap RASUAH yang termasuk dalam kes JENAYAH.
Pada hemat TUN, bagai mana kah agaknya nak membenteras JENAYAH tersebut dalam UMNO kerana kalau tertangkap pun hanya agen2 yang dibawah sahaja. nak disabitkan yang diatas susah, nak kumpul bukti pun sangat sulit. kadang2 yang menjalan kan kerja ini(lobi dan ganjaran) pun atas inisiatif sendiri kerana kepentingan2 tertentu keatas calon. Bukan diarahkan oleh calon pon.
Kerana sayangkan UMNO, saya pun berkongsi kebimbangan dengan TUN. Takut2 orang melayu pelbagai peringkat “hilang minat” dan tidak lagi yakin dengan wadah perjuangan UMNO pada masa akan datang.
Salam Hormat.
AHLI UMNO DI NEGARA PENJAJAH
Salam TDM,
Ya, benar. Apa yang hebat tentang Obama? Dia ada lebih kurang 5 tahun untuk membuktikan kebolehannya. Dia hanyalah salah seorang lagi pemimpin yang sentiasa datang dan pergi. Sejarah akan memberitahu tentang prestasinya.
Pada masa yang sama rakyat atau individu itulah sendiri harus berusaha ke arah perpaduan, kemakmuran, kesamarataan dsbnya. Apa guna mempunyai pemimpin yang hebat tetapi rakyat tidak mempunyai kekuatan, kebolehan atau kehebatan untuk berjaya. Semua ini, pemimpin dan rakyatlah yang memakmurkan sesebuah negara.
For years and years, American foreign policy has been the subject of why so much hatred has been hurtled at them. I hope those policies will change – although Obama has stressed on continuous support towards Israel, so that could be something that wouldn’t change afterall 🙁
Obama had becomes president.
Will other races in Malaysia having a fair chance too ?
A key swing vote ….!!
Black had becomes President.
Will other races in Malaysia having the fair chance ?
Wow! Sounds familiar…..perhaps the Americans had copied from it from the Malaysians, when Badawi took over….voting against Mahatir as much as for Badawi. And Obama has 5 years too….hopefully he meets expectations unlike……
Assalamualaikum, Tun…
Semalam, Amerika mungkin telah menunjukkan kepada dunia betapa mereka mengamalkan konsep demokrasi sepenuhnya… Calon yang menang adalah calon daripada kaum minoriti yang membawa suara majoriti: Apa Yang Diinginkan Oleh Seluruh Rakyat Amerika… Tiada peperangan, tiada konspirasi, tiada diskriminasi… (Hopefully)
Semoga dengan kemenangan OBAMA, Semua penduduk di seluruh dunia merasa lebih aman dan damai tanpa perlunya POLIS DUNIA mengawal hak dan kepentingan negara lain…

Dear Tun
Changes are all about what everybody believe, if we all believe the same it will become reality, if all the invester believe the news that a company share will go up, they all bought it and that particular share price will go up.
If we believe a leader that can make changes we want, we all vote for him/her that leader will lead the country.On the other hand if the people lost confident in a leadership they can too vote him/her out.
I may not be a great fan of American Imperialism, but i alway believe they are the trend setter, may it be tecnology, entertainment even politics.
Changes We Need
Salam Muhibah to Tun & Family
I think his presidential term will be 4 not 5 years, or maybe 8 years maximum. What do you think, should we also cap the years anyone can be UMNO president, say to 10 years? We no longer have someone of your calibre in the horizon, best to shorten it now? Perhaps as an advance damage control? What do you think, sir?
Dear Tun,
Do you think the same would ever happen in Malaysia i.e. being multi ethnic and Islam being the core of Premiership.
Dear Tun,
I also would like to add my congratulations to Barrack’s triumph in the presidential election.
His victory came about via his message of change.
A change from, arguably the worst presidency period in America’s history.
His message definitely stuck a chord among the voting Americans especially in light of the current economic difficulties.
His multicultural background and his charisma also captured the imagination of the rest of the world.
However, in this period of extraordinary exuberance, one cannot help but to be a bit cautious in one’s optimism.
If he is genuine and honest in his endeavors and surrounds himself with smart, like-minded people, the world tomorrow may bear witness to an American President who will be able to exact good change not only in American soil but throughout the world.
We hope he succeeds and wish him all the best.
Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun,
May i just add, Pak Lah’s UMNO must really learn something from this episode.
The Malays and Malaysian voters did note vote for PAS, DAP nor PKR but they just wanted Pak Lah out.
MAY ALLAH SAVE US ALL
PEJA
It will be a tough road ahead. Can’t say now if Obama can actually steer his country out of the global financial crisis. One thing for sure, Bush administration is taking a back seat now. Obama was never groomed to be a politician. Yet his victory speech inspired all even to our shores. We see a change there, the americans voted him for his courage to stand up, to speak from his heart, to do right and rid all wrongs from the republicans.
Can we see that happening here?
Dear Tun
It is simply amazing how one black man can draw such attention and mobilize the whole country into buying into his plan and ideology.
And he did it with grace, humility and respect for the people. I am on an ‘Obama high’ right now!
I agree with you that Bush Jr facilitated it and McCain/Palin nailed it for Obama.
I will pray that he will do well and for the sake of the black people in America I hope he will be the best President that the United States could ever have.
All the best, President Obama. I think you should meet the best that we have i.e Tun Dr Mahathir.
Simply the best!
SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
IZINKAN,
5. The Presidency of George Bush Junior must go down in American history as the worse ever. Arrogant, narrow-minded, autocratic, inconsiderate and totally uncaring for the views of others and even of his own countrymen, Bush created a demand for change as no other US President had ever created.
THERE’S AN UNCANNY SIMILARITY IN THE ‘GENERAL ELECTIONS’ OF BOTH THE USA AND MALAYSIA.
SIMPLY PUT,
1. IN THE USA, WE HAVE AN ARROGANT, AUTOCRATIC BUSH (AAB)
IN MALAYSIA, WE HAVE AN ARROGANT, AIMLESS BADAWI(AAB)
2. THE CONSEQUENCE, AS PER AYAHANDA POINTER NO. 6 ‘.There was a lot about wanting to have Obama come in but there was more about wanting to have Bush and his ilk out…’
AS IN PRU 12, THERE WAS MORE ABOUT WANTING BADAWI AND HIS ‘KUNCUS’ OUT THAN WANTING THE THE OTHER SIDE(PR) IN.
3. THE PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE USA AND THE PRIME MINISTER ELECT OF MALAYSIA BOTH FACES THE DAUNTING TASK TO ‘SOLVE’ THEIR COUNTRY’S ECONOMIC VOES. OBAMA HOWEVER HAVE THE ADDITIONAL TASK OF THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND OF COURSE THE AL QUEDA.
WUD BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND PRIME MINISTER ELECT BE ABLE TO SUCCEED IN TACKLING THE PROBLEMS WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS?.. WE DOUBT IT.
CONGRATS TO OBAMA AND NAJIB RAZAK AND BEST OF LUCK TO BOTH OF THEM.
ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
Salam Tun,
1. Indeed America in this election has demonstrated that they are not racially bias. And they are indeed a country that is truly multi racial yet they are one people. American as we know are proud to be American, regardless of their ethnic background.
2. I suppose all the Black American are not made to feel like they second class citizen. And I am sure they love their country as much as the white American.
3. What about us in Malaysia Tun. Are we one people? Or are there Malays and non-Malays, where one has more rights than the other.
Salam Tun
Millon of congratulation to Barrack Obama becoz being elected as a new president of usa.
hope Obama will be ” sparkling light in darkness” n change the external policy of usa!
The world now is watching u Obama!
do the best n do the right thing!

I think whoever that becomes Mr President will always have the same attitude and personality. Its like a prerequisite that they gonna find a place to create war once they have become the president.
We thought Bush was better off coz we were once dislike Al-Gore for the ‘Reformasi’ event but it turned out Bush was even worst…
Dear Tun,
This is my first time putting my comment in your blog and feel pround of it. I am glad that you have gain a lot of support and encouragement from the people throughout the country. Hope you can live longer to give direction and advise to the new leadership and Malaysian in general
I believe Obama’s win showed the US how they feel toward the current administration. But to change the policy especially on foreign issue and their support for Israel will be a daunting task.
What kind of advise you could give to Obama to make the US not to have any enemy? I believe a lot of rogue countries (as claimed by the US) do not want to be an enemy of US and the people of US feel the same. However, the Israel would like American to treat the Arabs, Iraq, and Iran as enemy for their benefit.
Obama,for better or for worse?it is yet to unravel.one thing i am sceptical of is that whether obama will be influenced by the jew!we know that US is indirectly controlled by the jews and hence israel.
Tun, I had posted my comments on snippets, asking for your comments on President Obama. When are Malaysians going to have one dream, not malay dream, a chinese dream , an indian dream or a kadazan-dusun dream. One dream of all Malysians to be colorblind and unified in our spirit. Americans dreampt and got so far in race relations. Will we?
Hello Tun,
How about our bail-outs previously on Bank Bumiputra ? Can consider a success story ?
Maybe there is similarity to our last election when the opposition won most of the seats. There was a lot about wanting to have the opposition come in but there was more about wanting to have PM and his crony out.
Salam Tun,
Tahniah buat Obama, namun harus berhati hati dengan puak fanatik kulit putih terutama di selatan Amerika yang sejak dahulu anti kulit hitam. Dijangkakan beliau terpaksa mempertingkatkan keselamatan diri menghadapi musuh dalam negara beliau sendiri! Beliau mungkin akan lebih kerap melawat dunia ketiga berbanding Bush, namun jikalau beliau datang ke Malaysia, langkah keselamatan mungkin 10kali ganda lebih ketat berbanding semasa Al Gore datang dahulu!
Saya mengharapkan pemimpin baru Amerika tersebut dapat memahami adat budaya negara lain serta menghormati cara negara lain mengangani masalah domestik tanpa mengikut acuan dari Amerika.
Satu bentuk pengawalan mata wang juga perlu difikirkan bagi mengelak dari kejatuhan ekonomi sesebuah negara akibat dari pertukaran mata wang, bukan dari fundamental sesebuah syarikat tersebut.
Jika Obama masih tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah ekonomi negaranya, saya percaya lebihan saki baki 20% pegangan saham dalam Bursa Malaysia terpaksa dibawa keluar bagi menyelamatkan keadaan ekonomi Amerika. Bermakna kita masih belum dalam kedudukan selamat!
Hopefully the world will be a more peacefull place to live in

May this letter find you and your family in the best state of health.
Whilst congratulation was in order for Obama, I was quite intrigued by your comments on the reason for the change in US. The situation seems to be quite similar to what had happened and will happen in our political front.
PM Abdullah had the taste of both world, that is, the best election majority in 2004 and the worst in 2008. He will definitely be considered as the
Slm Tun…
U ar da best!!
Assalamualaikum Tun, memang Barack Obama tidak disangka boleh menang.
Saya membayangkan tugas berat Barack Obama seakan sama dengan Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak setelah beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri.
Kedua-duanya mengambil malih daripada kepimpinan yang dibelanggu pelbagai cabaran dan desakan.
Cuma yang membezakan, Najib tidak meletakkan masalah dunia di kepalanya seperti Obama yang memimpin negara terkuat di dunia.
Namun dalam kedudukan dunia diancam pelbagai masalah, mereka perlu pikul tanggungjawab dengan penuh bermakna.
Jika Obama menang besar hasil sokongan orang muda dan wanita, Najib juga perlu melihat masalah ini
Assalamulaikum wbt,
Dear Tun,
I agreed with you as it is easier to say change than to actually execute the changes. Looking at the scenario in US, people are just don’t like Bush policy. They want changes which cause Republican to lost majority in Senate and Congress, even some states that used to be the stronghold of the Republican. We had this experience in our country do we and so do the American.
So what do we learn? Of course we need a leader who has the vision and can command & execute changes…
Sigh… and hopefully Obama can solve the major issues surrounding Afghan, Iraq n Palestin. The muslim world is watching him closely.
congrats from me too..and i miss you Tun..i miss you so much
Hopefully we can see some changes, don
errm..cant wait to see the changes…really…

Slam…Tun,
Ya…Tahniah tuk Obama. Sama2lah kita tunggu apa yang dia boleh buat terutamanya di Negara Timur Tengah.
Assalamualaikom Tun, tidak kisah lah sapa2 pon yang jadi president US. Bagaimana foreign policy palestine dan middle-east obama ikut dasar lama atau akan tukar? Malang sekali, ketika obama jadi president, economy sedang roket down, kalau beliau tidak handle dengan baik, habis lah dia. Kita ikuti seterusnya.
Masih Ada Yang Sayang.
Salam Ybhg Tun,
Rakyat Malaysia juga tidak kurangnya mengucapkan tahniah kepada Obama yang telah memperolehi kemenangan yang besar untuk menjadi Presiden AS. Uniknya beliau orang kulit hitam yang pertama dalam sejarah AS. Saya berpendapat tak kiralah sesiapa jugak menjadi orang nombor satu AS.Persoalannya ialah:-
1.Adakah selepas ini dasar-dasar Rumah Putih masih kekal dikalangan rakyatnya dan dunia keseluruhannya yang dimegah-megahkan sebagai Polis Dunia?
2. Adakah Pimpinan yang baru ini masih ikut telunjuk negara-negara sekutunya bagi kepentingan mereka yang kononnya menegakkan hak asasi manusia?
Sama-samalah kita lihat nanti dan jangan cepat memuji sebabnya kita belum tau hasilnya…..cakap tak serupa bikin tau!
1. Yes, the first battle won by all the people supporting change
2. I myself is indulge to that hope..
3. Yes, it is easy to say change but it is extremely hard to do it..
4. I have shared my part – in my “mini change process”, yes it is extremely hard
5. Most of scholar and practitioner also will have this same point of view..
6. Hardly taken – but in hope – we must prevail..
7. God speed!
Salam Tun,
I read this post while mirroring the Prime Minister administration of current, paying huge amount of money from EPF into ValueCap?
Do you think Malaysian ready for a change to accept minority to be the next Prime Minister of Malaysia?

A friend told me that Obama was last in his class, yet he made it to be the 44th President of USA. Very impressive, rite? I should get a good biography on him.
Enjoy your day, Tun

politik Malaysia pn lebih kurang sama..tp blum pasti ..brubah atau tidak lg bulan Mac nanti…
Perubahan besar politik kita juga disebabkan oleh seorang yg lebih kurang Bush juga..cuma DIA KUAT TIDUR DAN DIPENGARUHI KELUARGANYA..
diharapkan Obama dapat mengubah dunia dan mengembalikan ego Amerika ditempatnya..tp Najib? ramai yg masih ragu-ragu kut..(*better than si Dol)
Salam Tun and all,
1. Barack Obama rallied the people of the US together. Such spirit of togetherness to overcome difficult conditions is still needed even by the people of the most powerful nation.
2. This spirit of overcoming difficulties together is not that much different from the Malaysia Boleh spirit which you had tried to instill in us Malaysians.
3. The difference is just that,while the people of the US is now embracing it, some small parts of our people prefer to jeer it.
4. Yet we have seen how proud we were when feelings rose high at seeing Malaysians conquer the Everest, the seven seas, the two poles, the English Channel, the outer space. Why must some of us belittle our own achievements, in whatever form these may be?
5. May that wonderful feeling of togetherness, tolerance and support thrive again in Malaysia.
6. Love u Tun, and Thank You for giving us the chances when you were PM. Of course, some will beg to differ, but this is my say.
Jaga diri, Jaga Solat, Tun and all.

Indeed, it was a historic win for Obama to be
chosen the 44th President of United States of America.
And, yes, the eyes are now on him whether he can walk his talk.
Anyway, Tun, what is your opinion about our dear country ?
Is it possible that one day a non-bumi be the PM ?
As how the Whites changed, is there a chance Bumiputeras change ?
Good luck Obama! Don’t forget to vacate Iraq ASAP.
Dear tun,
America elected Obama,a black as their president.In malaysia, we see politicians using the term Ketuanan melayu very freequently. Just recently, they had this gatherring with Sultan azlan shah to support this idealogy.
Do you tink a minority can become the PM, taking into consideration ketuanan melayu?
Wish you and your family al the best.
Salam Y.Bhg Tun,
I don’t think I’ll be number one to comment for your new topic this evening but just trying my luck! My family and I, also wish congratulations to Barack Obama as a new President for the United States of America. Hopefully everything will be changed accordingly to the whole universe.
