Dear PenyuMenagis (sic),

(This
entry is in response to PenyuMenagis’ comments to Chedet in SOUND BITES (Hiroshima) published on
Aug 12)

 

Assalamu’alaikum.

 

1. Your life makes interesting reading and
so is your outlook on life. Long ago many poor Chinese gave their children to
Malay families, which is why we often see many Malays who look like Chinese.

 

2. My son married a Chinese. The children
are well-behaved and smart. They pray and read the Quran. The mother is very
particular regarding their good upbringing.

 

3. You need not feel insulted being called
Si Hitam (black). It is, or was common practice among Malays to give nicknames
which seem to be opposite of the appearance of a person. We have many village
girls in Kedah nicknamed “Udoh” (from “hodoh” or ugly).
They believe that evil spirits would be cheated and leave the pretty one alone.


4. You said that the New Economic Policy
will enrich further certain rich Malays. What really happens is that the help
and opportunities were given to those able to benefit from them, whether they
were rich or poor. When the rich failed no one would take notice. On the other
hand any Malay who succeeded was assumed to be from a rich family eventhough he
was not. Worse still he would be regarded as a crony of the Prime Minister.


5. If those who succeed were all from rich families then there must have been a
lot of rich Malays before the New Economic Policy. But we know there were only
a handful of rich Malays before the NEP. Had there been, there would
not have been the anger which led to the May 13, 1969 incident.


6. The only way to satisfy the critics is to ensure that no Malay be allowed to
become rich. If we do that then the disparity between Malays and non-Malays
would remain or get worse. If that happens then the anger and bitterness of the
Malays would render this country unstable.


7. I agree with you that intermarriage would help. But few Chinese would accept
conversion. But the Malays will insist on this.


Chedet.

    HTB – The Black man in the dark
    ________________________________
    ‘June 23, 1991, on your visit to Chile. You had startled many by announcing this black man who are still in the dark’. You claim that he is one of us. I beleive in you without a doubt. There are few facts that had been manipulated by others. We must do something about it. I want to believe it.
    Tun, since long ago, I said it to my self, who ever talk about this subject matter expert, I surely say:
    ‘I want to believe in what you have said’, so I search.
    Kita dibenarkan untuk mempunyai perbezaan pendapat, selagi kita tidak tersasar dari landasan yang telah ditetapkan.
    Salam sayang dan rasa hormat dengan sesungguh-sungguhnyanya hormat serta kasih dan sayang saya kepada Tun, Tun Siti Hasmah dan seluruh keluarga Tun, sungguh jauh pelayaran dan perjalanan saya dan pelayaran saya itu baru diketemukan dengan kehadiran saya di situ.
    1991 sehingga 2009 hari ini, selama lebih kurang 18 Tahun sudah cukup lama untuk mentelaah akan perkara-perkara yang selalu cuba mereka diselindungkan.
    Seluruh pelosok telah saya saya pelopori demi pencarian sejati dan semoga dapat kita abadikannya.
    Akan saya cuba sedaya upaya untuk mengupaskannya Tun, selagi hayat dikandung badan.
    Saya akan menghubungi Tun setelah semua kefahaman tentangnya selesai. I will, ‘When everythings fall on its place’,
    ‘There is nothing to feared in *live, it is only to be understood’.
    Salam, hormat Tun Mahathir dan Tun Siti Hasmah, salam hormat kepada Penyu Menangis, salam hormat kepada semuanya, salam penuh kasih dan sayang.

    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Allow me to comment on ZUL RAHMAN on September 19, 2009 8:32 AM
    Zul: pernahkah saudara terdengar akan nama Enrique?
    Penyu: Enrique mana satu? Saya kenal Enrique Iglesias, penyanyi tu!
    Zul: Enrique de Malacca juga dipanggil Enrique The Black’ atau ‘Black’, atau ‘Handy Black’, ‘Hitam’ dan ada orang melayu memanggil dengan nama ‘Panglima Hitam’
    Penyu: Ooohhh, Enrique de Malacca, Enrique Panglima Hitam. Yang ni saya tak kenal. Siapa dia tu? Kat mana saya boleh baca tentang beliau?
    ~~~~~~~
    Dear Zul, please enlighten us with the story of this great man. He must have helped the Malay since he was given the title “Panglima”.
    I was also impressed by your work on turtles conservation. Definitely I would like to see these penyu and will take my children and grandchildren to see them.
    When I was young I used to like turtle eggs. These were common in those days and could be purchased from JB market. One day, upon returning from school (I was in the primary school) I saw my mother boiling some turtle eggs, I was delighted and intended to have some when it was all done and the boiled turtle eggs cooled down a bit. That hot afternoon, I was sleepy and fell off to sleep. I had a weired dream of eating the turtle eggs. As I broke open the egg shell, little baby turtle jumped into my mouth. I was scared and woke up from my dream and my sleep. I did not eat and have not eaten any turtle egg from that moment onward. Insaf.
    Yes, turtles are wonderful creatures of God and their stories are lesson for us. We should save them. Your job in conserving them is noble.
    Have you ever come across the “mock turtle” as in the adventure of Alice in the Wonderland?
    Wassalam, dengan penuh kasih sayang.

  4. salam hormat kepada pemilik nama pena ‘PenyuMenangis’,
    saudaraku yang sangat aku kasehi ‘Si Hitam Sang PenyuMenangis’,
    pernahkah saudara terdengar akan nama Enrique?
    Enrique de Malacca juga dipanggil Enrique The Black’ atau ‘Black’, atau ‘Handy Black’, ‘Hitam’ dan ada orang melayu memanggil dengan nama ‘Panglima Hitam’,
    persoalnnya:
    siapa itu Enrique?
    ada 2 insan yang tahu benar akan siapa Enrique of Malacca, di sini,
    mereka adalah…. Tun Mahathir dan…….? (bukan saya, orang lain… yang juga telah menjadi idola kepada orang itu katanya)
    🙂
    tun tahu akan hal ini,

    saudara saya ‘wajaperak’ yang saya kasehi,
    terima kasih ke atas teguran dan telah saya berlapang dada kerananya, dan saya ingin mengajak saudara juga agar sudi untuk berlapang dada keranaya, marilah sama-sama kita berbicara tentang perihal NAMA.
    saya sangat bersetuju dengan saudara, sesungguhnya jalan yang TERBAIK bagi penyelesaian ini SANGAT MUDAH dangan cara menukarkan nama.
    jua saya bersetuju bahwa nama ‘Rahman’ merupakan salah satu daripada nama-nama Allah (Al-Asmâ

  6. Tun,
    For a long time I skipped your website & did other things on the net.Frankly speaking I find the comments on Malay agst Chinese successes not only sickening but can drive people insane.This kind of negative comments will only serve to create more racial tension & strife amongst our people.I thought we should think of a Bangsa Malaysia instead.We should not invest our energy & time on negative activities to derail our economy.

    salam hormat kepada sang ‘penyumenangis’, dan juga kepada semuanya,
    PENYU
    saudara kami sang ‘penyumenangis’ yang kami sayangi,
    bawalah anak-anak mu pergi melihat penyu, ajarkanlah kepada mereka kenapa penyu telah dibiarkan (ditakdirkan) hidup selama dari zaman dahulu-kala sehingga ke hari ini. Tentu ada penceritaannya bukan?
    sesungguhnya microchip yang tertanam didalam kepalanya yang hanya cuma sebesar biji sawi itu bisa merakamkan ‘apa sahaja’ yang dilihatnya. sejauh mana ia bergerak, dan yang pasti, ‘sirih pasti pulang kegagang’. itulah yang telah menjadi prinsip hidup penyu itu sekian lama, tak mahu dia kemana-mana tempat lain melainkan tempat ia dilahirkan, tempat tanah tumpah darahnya.
    PENYU MENANGIS
    selain itu saudaraku sang ‘penyu menangis’, ajarkanlah kepada anak-anakmu, andainya si penyu itu bisa berkata-kata, apakah yang mahu dikatakan olehnya? apakah yang mahu diminta olehnya? apakah yang mahu ia mohon untuk bertoleransi sesama kita. nescaya, andainya ia bisa bisa berkata-kata; maka aku sangat yakin dan pasti, bukan sahaja penyu itu akan menangis, tetapi dikau dan anak-anakmu jua akan turut sama-sama menangis,
    aku telah melalui akan zaman pengenalan itu, sewaktu zaman kegemilangan pemerintahan di negeriku yang aman, aku bersama-sama anak-anak kecil dan remaja, sama-sama menghayati tentang perhubungan manusia sesama manusia dan manusia dengan alam persekitaranya, setelah itu, sama-sama pula kami hayati di tepaian pantai itu pada malamnya, perhubungan ‘manusia dengan Penciptanya’
    PENYU YANG BERNAMA
    tiadalah mahu aku berbicara tanpa fakta dan bukti, sesungguhnya ‘ibu penyu yang bernama ‘mutiara kerachut’ yang diletakkan dengan transmiter ‘internet tracking system’ itu bisa menceritakan segala-galanya. beberapa orang sahabat yang turut sama-sama bekerja keras bertungkus lumus demi mereliasasikan akan ujian dan pelajaran ini, kami bekerja bersama-sama, kami juga dibantu oleh seorang pembesar berbangsa cina diketika itu, kami hidup rukun aman dan damai, dan sehingga kini, kami rindukan kedamaian itu, sama seperti rindunya sang penyu itu untuk pulang kembali ke tanah air tempat tumpah darahnya,
    berkenalanlah dikau dengan sang penyu yang bernama ‘mutiara kerachut’ http://www.jphpk.gov.my/English/Apr07%207.htm
    sebuah program murni yang kami beri nama “program sahabat penyu”, sebuah program bersama-sama anak-anak bangsa malaysia.
    sebutan bicara kamu tentang ‘the inter-marriage’ itu telah menzahirkan akan kumpulan-kumpulan nak-anak kecil ini termasuk diriku sendri yang telah mengalaminya, kami makan dari satu ‘tuppaware’ yang sama, dengan menjaga sensitiviti yang asas, kami bergurau senada, dan kami sama-sama sangat menyayangi ‘ibu penyu’ teresbut dan kami sayang kesemua ‘anak-anak’ penyu itu.
    ‘KITA’ DARI PANDANGAN MATA PENYU
    diwaktu itu, aku bersama-sama dengan anak-anak kecil kita, mereka adalah zharif, mugilan, adeline, jaysyel, manvinder, elynn, gayathri, syazlina, satiswaran, rohaizal dan semua yang hadir bersama-sama, kami turut sama memberi penyu2 itu makan, melepaskan anak-anak penyu itu ke laut, menjaga-telur2 penyu yg tertanam rapi,kami bermain dengan ibu penyu itu, mandi-manda sambil menyuci ibu penyu itu sebelum dilepaskan kembali ke laut.
    AKU, KAU, DIA DAN PENYU
    pentanyaanku cuma 1 sahaja: daripada pandangan mata ibu penyu itu, barangkali di dalam agakkanmu, adakah penyu itu mengenal apa bangsa yang yang sedang bermain-main dan berminggiran bersamanya? aku tidak pasti akan jawapan-jawapannya, namun yang aku pasti adalah: dia tidak mengenal siapa nama kami, tetapi dia mengigati setiap apa yang kami perlakukan kerana semasa kami melepaskannya ke laut, setelah selesai berdoa, kami lepaskan ibu penyu itu ke laut, dalam beberapa kayuhan, ibu penyu itu menoleh melihat kami dan aku tidak pasti kenapa.
    pernah satu ketika dulu, seorang jurugambar bertindak agak biadap dengan ibu penyu yang lainnya, sehingga ke hari ini kami tidak pernah lihat ibu penyu itu kembali, perasaannya telah diguris barangkali, ‘tag code no.’ yang dirakamkan itu tidak kembali ke pantai sekian lama.
    Kita dan DIA
    Itulah yang kami faham tentang ‘perhubungan diantara manusia sesama manusia, jua perhubungan manusia dengan alam persekitarannya’, dan juga perhubungan manusia dengan Penciptanya sehingga ke hari ini, telah kami jaga tempat itu, telah kami bersihkan plastik-plastik yang agak banyak tidak terkutipkan, dan telah kami tuliskan semua cerita dan penceritaan.
    CETUSAN MINDA PEMULA
    barangkali dikau juga tertanya-tanya, apa pencetus mulanya? NYATA sesungguhnya, pemula bagi pencetus idea sebegini adalah Bandar Tasik PUTRAJAYA lah yang menjadi buah mula, konsep keseluruhan buat bicara diatas, semuanya terkandung di dalam ilham pembikinan bandar harmoni tersebut.
    PUTRAJAYA
    sebuah bandar penggabungan yang menerapkan nilai-nilai hubungan ‘manusia sesama manusia (urusan manusia di pejabat2 kerajaan dan swasta), manusia sesama alam persekitarannya (wetland), dan manusia dengan Penciptanya'(rumah-rumah ibadat yang telah didirikan dan bakal di dirikan), lihatlah pada peta keseluruhan perancangan, kami telah membaca artikel-artikel arkitek dan jurutera serta perancang2 bandar yang bertanggungjawab, nilai2 murni yang telah diterapkan oleh tun mahathir bersama dengan jemaah pentadbirannya, telah membuahkan hasil yang sebegitu indah ‘tanpa ada paksaan’ dari mana-mana untuk kami saling mengenangkan, dan akan kami kenang buat kami bicara sampai kehari ini dan selama-lamanya.
    salam hormat,
    salam penuh kasih sayang,
    puji dan pujian kepada Allah Azzawajalla yang Maha Menentukan,
    terima kasih kepada tun mahathir dan tun siti hasmah
    & kesemua pasukan pemikir Putrajaya.

    Dear wajaperak,
    Thank you for painting my character caricature so distortedly well. This is the job of a caricature artist. This is your impression on a person you have never met. I can accept it since I am used to being labeled for what I am not. Just recently also my picture caricature appeared in one magazine to accompany my story as a science teacher.
    I am a peaceful person by my up bringing. My grandmother (Malay) told me to avoid any trouble with the village big boy bully who would not be contented unless I became one of them and followed them to do what they liked best in those days like stealing fruits (jambu, tebu etc

  10. Dengan izin Tun..Terima kasih..
    Zul
    Terima kasih di atas kasih sayang anda.
    Saya berpendapat anda tersilap menggabungkan nama Zul dengan Rahman.
    Nama Rahman adalah nama Allah.Oleh itu ia mesti di awali dengan Abdul Rahman.
    Moga maklum.
    Sekian terima kasih.

    Allow me to comment again….
    Dear sanmuraimelayu,
    I am impressed by Zul’s writing as you are. It’s Malay is very uncommon, and reminds me of those letters written by the royal court ladies of Johor a long time ago. I had the previllage of reading these letters when these were displayed at the National Library. Keep up the good work Zul.
    I am also drawn to the untypical salam greeting of Zul, “salam kasih sayang”. We know “salam mesra”, “salam hormat”, “salam sejahtera”, etc… and how guys (of my time) used some of these salam to seduce girls, as their polite introduction. This is one important application of salam.
    ———-
    Dear adik wajaperak, you are right again, but I am not wrong also. So please jangan menangis.
    I am only wrong because the article is too long and it may have confused some people when reading it quickly. I am not wrong because all I hope is to put forward a perspective view to the landscape of Islamic education system.
    To correct my mistake (because long article may be confusing) let me just summarize a bit.

    Abg Penyumenangis
    Emrgh…Inilah yang buat saya menangis..:(
    Artikel panjang lebar itu kehilangan dua asas utama.
    1.Pendekatan.2.Penghayatan.
    Di sini hanya di nyatakan sejarah pengajian yang lebih cenderung kepada Syiah.
    Imam Al Ghazali hanya di sebut sekali sahaja dan tidak di sebut tentang Imam Shafie,Imam Nawawi,Imam Ahmad dan Imam Hambali.Tidak juga sirah mereka.Kita kini berada di tahun 2009.Kisah tersebut di ambil dari ‘documentation’.Aspek rohaniah tidak di sentuh begitu juga kisah pejuangan Imam Al Bukhary.Peranan hadith juga tidak di sentuh apatah lagi pertentangan di antara khalifah dan ulamak tetang masalah
    qadim dan makhluk.Pertentangan ulamak ‘mainstream’ dengan sufi seperti Halaj dan juga pengamalan Al Quran dan pembacaan bertanda dan bertitik,bernahu,bersalaf dan bertajwid.
    Jika kita berada di tahun 2090 bila aspek ‘documentation’ tentang Tun Dr Mahathir di baca di blog warisan ke 17 Penyumenangis, maka yang ada hanya :
    Tun Mahathir bukan sahaja ada masalah dengan Timbalannya malah dia telah menghasut ‘instigate’ untuk menumbangkan Dolla Badawi Perdana Menteri yang di sayangi ( sic..sic ) rakyat..
    Jika kita bandingkan dengan artikel di atas dengan apa yang akan di baca di blog cucu Penyumenangis nanti maka orang awam tidak akan tahu mengapa Tun berbuat begitu atau Tun berbuat begini.
    Begitu juga dengan ajaran serta pendekatan dari artikel di atas.
    The missing link ialah pendekatan rohaniah.
    Imam Al Ghazali juga mengamalkan halaqah.Di salah satu sudut masjid yang di diaminya beliau mengajarkan ilmu terutama sekali ilmu sufi dan tarikat.Ingatlah pesan utama beliau dalam Ihya’ Ulumiddin.
    Bunuh ular dalam kain kamu sendiri.
    Bersesuaian dengan hadith yang mengingatkan kita bahawa kepentingan ilmu ialah untuk amalan keupayaan diri sendiri yang berbeza di antara sesuatu insan dengan insan yang lain di mana Allah berfirman melalui lidah RasulNya yang mulia :-
    Mukmin yang kuat itu lebih di sukai Allah dari mukmin yang lemah.
    Sebab itu permohonan Abu Zar untuk menjadi utusan Rasullulah s.a.w di tolak Baginda s.a.w
    Kamu lemah untuk urusan ini.Urusan pemerintahan di hari akhirat hanya akan menjadi penyesalan melainkan mereka yang mampu menunaikan HakNya..
    Artikel di atas tidak sesuai bagi orang awam.Malangnya banyak orang awam
    menyangka diri mereka orang khusus.Islam itu mudah.Jadi kita jangan membebankan orang-orang awam dengan artikel yang khusus seperti di atas.
    Cubalah gunakan pendekatan yang mudah,bercerita seperti yang di maksudkan di dalam Ayat Al Quran

  17. dear my beloved Tun mahathir,
    saya nak tanya pendapat Tun pasal gerakan di Indonesia yg mahu ganyang rakyat Malaysia….malah ada dikalangan mereka mahu isytihar perang keatas malaysia atas sebab yg remeh2…padahal rakyat mereka ramai jadi perompak kat malaysia takde pulak rakyat kita nak cucuk buluh kat mereka….

  18. Assalamu’alaikum
    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir,
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Izin saya menjawab Zul Rahman (9 Sept) dan wajaperak (8 Sept).
    Zul menyatakan bahawa blog chedet merupakan sumber ilmu yang utama. Saya sangat setuju. Dari komen blogger, ramai yang berterimakasih kepada Tun yang boleh menjelaskan sesuatu isu dengan jelas, ringkas namun padat berinformasi penting. Selain dari tokoh politik terkemuka di dunia, beliau merupakan ilmuan yang ulung. Sebagai insan contoh, diantara sifat beliau yang saya kagumi ialah sikap beliau yang suka membaca. Pastinya kebolehan beliau menulis dengan baik, dibantu terus daripada sifat ini.
    Pertama kali saya bertemu Tun lebih dari 10 tahun lalu, ialah semasa beliau memberi ucaptama kepada sekumpulan para guru sains (saya diantaranya yang duduk di belakang). Ceramah beliau bersahaja (off-the-cuff) mengisahkan perkembangan sains di negara ini, harapan dan nasihat beliau kepada kami semua. Namun, apa yang lebih dari jangkaan dan berkesan dalam ingatan saya ialah kebolehannya mengupas sejarah sains sejak zaman lampau dan mengimbas zaman kegemilangan Islam yang suatu ketika merupakan menguasai ilmu. Namun, umat Islam kehilangan kuasa tersebut selepas lebih dari 1000 tahun yang lalu. Apakah yang berlaku? Inilah satu tanda tanya dalam diri saya.
    Di bawah ini saya perturunkan “The Seven Madrasah Part I and II” oleh Dr. Nazeer Ahmed, yang memperihalkan beberapa era dalam dunia Islam sejak Rasullulah mengasasnya melalui evolusi keilmuan daripada tujuh jenis Madrasahnya, sehingga sekarang. Saya harap ini merupakan satu lagi sumber ilmu untuk pembaca blog chedet.
    Wassalam.

    Abg Penyumenangis
    Thank you very much for your kind comment:)
    [[I may have interpreted you wrongly dear wajaperak, but I totally disagree with you that all we need to learn is from the Al-Quran, eventhough I believe the glorious Al-Quran contains the guidelines for the way of life]]
    Let’s go back to time immemorial.
    Muhammad is so sad about the arab society behaviour and application.Their next to animal attitude so saddened him, he takes refuge in Gua Hirak to meditiates.Now..observes the why it have to be the cave.Here in solitude, he prays according to Nabi Ibrahim a.s sunnah.He stays in the cave about one or two weeks.His provision is brought by his wife Saidatina Khadijah.In the night of 17 Ramadhan, it happened.He felt a strong embrace who demanded him to read.
    “Read”.His replied.”Ma ana bikari”…I cannot read.This was repeated three times and the voice finally reveals this verses
    Surah Al Alaq
    1] Bacalah dengan (menyebut) nama Tuhanmu Yang menciptakan,
    2] Dia telah menciptakan manusia dari segumpal darah.
    3] Bacalah, dan Tuhanmulah Yang Maha Pemurah,
    4] Yang mengajar (manusia) dengan perantaraan kalam
    5] Dia mengajarkan kepada manusia apa yang tidak diketahuinya.
    The stories will continues later.The main essence is, it commenced here in the Cave of Al Hirak on the night of 17th Ramadhan, Nuzul Quran.And Muhammad s.a.w is officially Allah Rasul.
    Allah states it clearly in Surah Al Israq
    Surah Al-Israk ayat 82 :
    Maksudnya :

  22. Dear TDM,
    I am wondering how come you have the luxury and leisure to blog about international and racist issues in the country when the country is being attacked by an internal enemy, snatch thief.
    If I may refresh your memory, snatch thief rampant crime appeared the same time the string of incompetent successor to the PM of Malaysia position was appointed by you or have your blessing.
    If you remarked so much about DEB and inequality to the pribumi race of Malaysia and steps to be taken to address this inequality, have it ever crossed your mind that in actual fact it doesn’t really matter whether a country have multi racial make up or single race, as you can see from the poverty in Africa and progressive country like Korea and Japan.Or maybe you forgotten that a peaceful country need to have peaceful society not disturb by racist issue raised by someone who worked hard for >20 years to transform the country into a better place?
    Right now another snatch thief case happened to my colleague in the broad daylight at 6pm yesterday. She witnessed the 2 snatch thief is malay and they dared to commit such crime in the holy fasting month of Ramadhan. Isn’t the Quran mentioned that sinner who commit sins during the holy month shall be guilty millionth times than other other time which is not during the holy month?
    My colleague lost everything including her NRIC, driving license, credit card, car key, ATM card and most of all she suffered from shock. Even as current government manage to capture the 5 state taken by opposition,it still won’t and will never eradicate the snatch thief crime nor compensate the suffering of my colleague.
    Everyone that I knew or met has fallen victim to snatch thief before. This is serious knowing that our country pride itself peaceful and safe.You won’t become a victim thats for sure and neither your family or friends because elite people don’t get snatched and only those real people who work like a slave and earn a living hoping to enjoy some peaceful and happy life will become victim.
    I hope you can highlight this issue of snatch thief in your blog and current government will know theres a bigger threat than opposition, its the well being of the people actually.You can voice out opposition to the Israel atrocities to the Palestinian, but a bigger attrocities to the people of Malaysia that is snatch thief should also shared the limelight in your blog.

  24. Assalamu’alaikum,
    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir,
    Dear Tun,
    Being “the man on the spot”, as some blogger has kindly called me now, is indeed an honor, but my sense of balance keeps me wondering if this is good or bad. Your points #4, 5 and 6 (above) show that you are not too happy about two points which penyumenagis touch in the previous posting; namely NEP and crony issues. Your most recent posting on Dasar Ekonomi Baru appears to confirm my worst fear. If indeed so, I am so sorry for I really do not mean to be ungrateful to you or to the Malaysian Government especially.
    I am a product NEP, and may be counted under the successful statistic. The Government has spent about half a million ringgit for my oversea education. For this I am happily serving the country and society with my utmost dedication and am proud to let you know that I receive frequently “the excellent service award”.
    NEP has increased the middle-class volume and no doubt about that.
    Nevertheless, there are many more poor Malays that are needing help. Therefore, I am supporting for the continuation of the policy.
    The cronies issue is my perception, viewed from rakyat meheran (ordinary people) not understanding fully how NEP is operated at the higher level. Hence, you explaination in the most recent posting made it clearer. Nevertheless, I feel strongly some of its implementations can be fine tuned to tackle many unequal distribution problems at the bottom due to poor monitoring and often power abuse.
    As an educator, please allow me to make some practical suggestions.
    One of NEP successes is in the Malay education program, starting from the boarding school at the secondary level. In those days, many govt boarding schools cater for Malays children whom mostly were from poor background whose homes may not be so conducived learning environment. Given, now there are many middle income families, the selection to the bording school may be more selective in favour more of those from the income group. The middle income and above group can afford a better means of good learning environment at home and may keep their children at home. Hence, many more children from lower income group may benefit the boarding school environment.
    I also support the Govt initiative to ensure every family having at least one of its member with a foreign education experience (short and long term). This policy will definitely broaden the mind of the family as a whole.
    I hope within the NEP, there will be more space to cater for the plight of poor income group from other races and provide more education opportunities for all races.
    On PPSMI: While supporting you case fully and understand all your arguments, I am now seeing the justifications from the other side. For this reason, may I suggest a compromise, where PPSMI is only enforced at school level for the “would be science” students. This means, PPSMI is only implemented to the science stream students from the upper secondary level onwards.
    Malaysia is a wonderful country, for its multi-racial composition is not a melting pot, but akin more to a bowl of salad, where all the different races remain a heterogenous mixture. The different races do not mix. It is healthier this way. What bind these together instead is the emulsifying factor. In the case of the bowl of salad, this emulsifier is “the salad sauce”, while for Malaysian social make-up, the emulsifying factor may come from those people having two or more cultural experiences (through intermarriages). This may sounds to some people like a joke, but again this is my humble interpretation. And if we get the formulation right, InshaAllah, we will maintain peace and stability within our multi-racial and multi-cultural society, in our unique way.
    We need a lot of tolarence and understanding from all races.
    Wassalamu’alaikum wabarakahtu, to you and your beloved wife Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah.

    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir,
    Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Allow me to comment on both the following postings.
    By samuraimelayu on September 6, 2009 4:12 PM
    By wajaperak on September 6, 2009 3:01 PM
    Dear Brothers samuraimelayu and wajaperak,
    I imagine that both of you are much younger than myself. Wajaperak is probably not much older than my own 5 children (all girls) and not too different from their behaviours. They are correct all the time. I cannot match with them, I always lose.
    I remember when I was young and idealistic too. Older people like myself, have been too much compromised, that now we see, everything is correct, i.e. our wretched wisdom seems to be able to justify any given action and reaction. There are not only black and white, but also include all the grey-levels in the RGB color spectrum of life.
    Dear wajaperak, your pure intention to protect Islam is well noted and appreciated. I admire your courage and knowledge. But “life is a network of mistakes and errors, and we must knit these holes by learning” and tolarence is also a virture. Even at my age, I continue to learn. I “google” most of the references you quoted in this blog.
    You are right, penyumenagis should be penyumenangis, inspired from the song by arwah Sudirman. I did not know why I chose it for my pen name initially. But the reason may lie in my sub-concious.
    JB is my hometown. I know almost every inch of its ground (+/- 5 km). Selat Teberau and its mangrove swamp were my play ground, just a few meters from my house. The present state of JB and Selat Teberau is of grieve concern to me. The over development in the city, the desruction of the bakau and the pollution, make me very unhappy whenever I think of JB. Added to this burden is the constant bickering between the two countries. Given, my nature you can understand why I feel so trapped. So penyumenangis is an aptly chosen nom de plume.
    I did not mean to be the “man on the spot”, but I hope, my posting is enough to attract the attention of the right people to do something, especially on the conflict between the two governments. I have relatives in both countries. I hope there are Singaporens who read my comments.
    Many friends have asked me to write my story. Some have offered to write. I will do this inshaAllah. You are now reading its free preview. Next time you may have to pay.
    I may have interpreted you wrongly dear wajaperak, but I totally disagree with you that all we need to learn is from the Al-Quran, eventhough I believe the glorious Al-Quran contains the guidelines for the way of life.
    But that “Al-Quran is the only source of knowledge”, taken too literally, has misled the Muslims for so long, and caused the decline of the great Islamic civilization, the golden age of knowledge, 1000 years ago. Our present pitable state is because we have lost this control to knowledge. We cannot blame other people for our folly. The establishement of another Baitul Hikmah, require a necessary initial step to clear the jungle of ignorance around us. This small effort is now my jihad, since I am a teacher. InshaAllah.
    Young people like yourself and my children will be the next layer to continue with the struggle.
    Wassalam….
    Pak Itam.

    PS: Ravi(rarunasalam), you and I have to be articulate or we will get clobbered in this blog. The sword of ‘samuraimelayu’ forged from ‘wajaperak’ waiting eagerly. They are the IGP of chedet country!
    THANKS BUT NO THANKS TO YOUR ‘SARCASTIC’ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
    BTW, WUD YOU, AS A SON LET ‘ ROWDIES’ TO SPRAY ACCUSSATIONS AND INSULTS IN YOUR FATHER’S ‘HOME’?… ONLY AN OBEDIENT SON WILL COME TO THE FORE TO DEFEND HIS BELOVED DADDY.
    AND WE FIND THAT SOME ‘ROWDIES’ HAD SINCE OBSERVED GOOD MANNERS AND ARTICULATE IN THEIR COMMENTS AFTER BEING BRANDISHED BY THE SWORDS OF THE SAMURAIS.
    YOUR FAIR COMMENTS HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED AND APPRECIATED.
    HAVE A NICE DAY BRADER S..TAN AND NOT FORGETTING MR.RAVI, OUR MACHA.

  27. SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
    IZINKAN,
    TO THE ‘MAN ON THE SPOT’,
    THE HONOURABLE ‘DEAR PENYUMENANGIS’
    AFTER READING YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR REPLIES TO SOME BLOGGERS, WE TOO FIND YOU AN INTERESTING ‘MALAYSIAN’ (DARAH CINA BERJIWA MELAYU DAN MUSLIM BERILMU)
    WE TOO DON’T DARE CROSSED SWORDS WITH OUR ADIK ‘WAJAPERAK’…SURE ‘MATI’ WANT. HE IS YOUNG AND VIBRANT AND STILL ‘JOURNEYING’ IN SEARCH OF ‘ONESELF’ AND WE ARE OLD AND AND IS NOW MELLOWED. WE WERE JUST LIKE HIM DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME IN SEARCH OF ‘ONESELF’ AND JUST LIKE YOU DID, WE DID NOT ANSWER A ‘SALAM’ FROM A NON MUSLIM.
    LATER WE REALISED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG RECIPROCATING SALAM FROM ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER..RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE GUIDELINES FOR THE WEAK BUT WISDOM FOR THE WISE.
    ISLAM IS PURE AND PERFECT AND ALMIGHTY ALLAH SWT IS ALL MERCIFUL AND FORGIVING AND NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W IS THE MESSENGER (PROPHET)IS THE GUIDE TO FOLLOW.
    ALLOW US TO NARRATE A STORY OF OUR LIFE.
    ONCE A CHRISTIAN STAFF OF OURS (INDIAN/PORTUGUESE BLOOD)ASKED. ‘WHY DON’T MY MALAY FRIENDS REPLIED WHEN I GIVE ‘SALAM’ IN ARABIC? HARAM KE ABG? WE WERE STUNNED FOR THE MOMENT AND HAD TO PUT ON THE THINKING CAP IN SEARCH OF A VERSE THAT FORBIDS (HARAMKAN) IT.. YEAH, WHAT’S WRONG WITH GREETINGS IN ARABIC? JUST LIKE ‘WANNAKAM’ IN TAMIL AND ‘SALOM’ IN HEBREW?
    I TOLD HIM NOT TO BE UNDULY DISTURBED BY OTHER PEOPLE’S REACTIONS AND COMFORTED HIM ‘IF YOU SINCERELY FEEL COMFORTABLE TO GREET ABG IN ARABIC PLEASE DO AND ABG WILL SURELY RESPOND’. OTHER MALAY STAFF LOOKED AT US IN DISBELIEF.
    AND WHEN HIS FATHER DIED OF A MYSTERIOUS ILLNESS, HE BEGGED US TO READ THE VERSES FROM THE QURAN TO ‘FREE’ THE DECEASED SOUL PERPORTEDLY POSSESSED BY EVIL FORCES… A ‘BOMOH’ TOLD HIM.
    FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THE CHRISTIAN STAFF HAS SINCE BECAME A DEVOTED MUSLIM.
    WE WISH TO SHARE ANOTHER STORY OF AN ‘ADIK ANGKAT’, A CHINESE WHO EMBRACED ISLAM AFTER HE SAW US CARED FOR AN OLD CHINESE BEGGAR THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO CHASE OUT OF HIS MINIMARKET.. IT WILL BE ONE STORY TOO MANY.
    YANG HENDAK KAMI KONGSIKAN BERSAMA ADALAH JIKA KITA DAPAT BENAR2 MEMAHAMI APA ITU ISLAM (BELUM LAGI ISI ALQURAN) DAN MENGAMALKAN SIFAT2 RASUL IAITU IKHLAS, SUCI, JUJUR DAN BENAR, TENTUNYA MENYAMBUT SALAM DALAM BAHASA ARAB TIDAK AKAN MENJEJASKAN AKIDAH DAN TAKWA (IMAN) SEORANG MUSLIM.
    PERNAH SEORANG KIAI DARI SEBERANG MENYEBUT ‘ISLAM UGAMA HIDUP DAN SEORANG ISLAM ITU BOLEH DIIBARATKAN SEPERTI IKAN DI LAUT..AIRNYA MASIN TETAPI IKAN YANG HIDUP DALAM NYA TIDAK’ DAN SATU LAGI BELIAU SEBUT ADALAH ‘ORANG ISLAM DIIBARATKAN SEPERTI KUMBANG YANG TIDAK AKAN HINGGAP DIPOHON YANG RAPUH’
    WASSALAM
    ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
    ps. ‘PenyuMenangis'(sic) is an interesting subject and no wonder our Ayahanda Tun gave the man a ‘spot’ in Chedet.cc.

    Dear brother Penyumenagis
    Thank you very much for your feedback.You have made a mistake in your name here.It is supposed to be Penyumenangis and not penyumenagis..yet you let it stand.And that shows certain degree of understanding on my part.If it is true penyumenagis, than this name will be meaningless.For I sense it was penyu menangis that you wants to highlight the ‘agonies’ and ‘pain’ for this creatures leaving behind her eggs..There is tangible pain here and you let the name stand..That’s also understandable.See..three perception already.Poignant.
    [[ enough to encourage me to remain a Muslim and some of them are my examples par excellence. Apart from Rasullullah (SAW) and the Sahabah, I admire the work of Jabir Hyyan and his teacher Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq (one of the Twelve Imam). I will write about them in another posting InshaAllah, and illustrate why their works are still important and relevant even to our modern times. InshaAllah]]
    Very good brother.It was a mistake on my part too.Sometimes I was so engrossed in the
    ”mission of military proportioned”
    I have ignored other’s qualities of the other men,namely scholars,traders and philantrophist.I should elaborate later.
    [[However, on the issue of “salam” which you had discussed extensively on this blog, I was sensitive because it had reminded me of my own guilt for not replying to my sister]]
    You should have responded..”Waalaikum” on mild level of tone making an impression on her part that you have responded fully.
    [[“Salam” is very important to me]]
    Yes it is true but what I am trying to say is the more broad aspect of kinship,brotherhood and fraternity.When I saw a military procession,my heart beat faster and emotion runs high.I should not demand the same from other’s.My mistake.
    [[But as a Muslim, I think I should welcome her and not put a brrier eventhough an intangible one]]
    Don’t you know that we still can communicates with the persons from the other side of world? Consider this Hadith carefully.
    Mimpi orang benar itu 46 darjah dari kenabian ( nubuwwah ).
    [[On Gaza, actually, I get direct news from a Palestinian student (here in Malaysia); his family lives in Gaza. I helped him to get his scholarship and assist his study. Recently, his scholarship was terminated. I hope our government will consider extra funding to help Palestinians who come to study in Malaysia. Apparently, he told me there is already such agreement. But how come his was discontinued, I am still finding out. This particular student is extremely bright and he has not been home since 3 years ago when he left Gaza for Malaysia.]]
    Bravo and congratulation!! Tun..please help..
    [[Dear wajaperak, I am more attached to the Palestinians and Palestine than your sense have “told” you. Just because I am not doing what you are doing, does not mean I am “deteched”, and certainly does not deserve “name calling”, especially during the month of Ramadan. Allah knows best]]
    Aha..mistakes on my part.I follows the step of Umar Al Khattab.Military nature in ‘modern’ environment.My spat with Hanan and his likes is real.No rhetoric on my part.So I say sorry in ‘non military’ aspect of contribution.
    [[“Dan barang siapa mengerjakan amal-amal yang soleh dan dia dalam keadaan beriman, maka ia tidak khuatir akan perlakuan yang tidak adil (terhadapnya) dan tidak pula akan pengurangan haknya.”]]
    To true brother but I do hope you do join the tadarus session.After Ramadhan will be different.
    [[I wish you dear wajaperak, Ramadan Kareem. InshaAllah, may God makes your fasting easy and being blessed]]
    Thank you very much brother penyumenagis.I relay the same message to you but with this inclusion from Surah Az Zariyat
    7] By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
    Demi Langit Yang Mempunyai Jalan-Jalan
    [8] Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
    Sesungguhnya Kamu Berbeza-beza Pendapat
    [9] Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.
    Di palingkan Dari Mereka Orang Yang Di Palingkan
    [10] Woe to the falsehood-mongers,
    Celakalah orang yang menyebar kepalsuan
    [11] Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
    Mereka yang tersesat dalam kekeliruan

    Dan Mereka Bertanya Bilakah Hari Pembalasan?
    Saudara..I truly emphatize with you but most mukmin all over the world suffer’s great suffering.Our Rasullulah s.a.w is the human suffers the most in Islamic quest.He prevails.
    So..I will let you in a bit of our suffering..All this event is related.
    1.Malaikat yang turun dari langit dalam Perang Badar.
    2.Penyembelihan 8,000 orang muslim di Sebrenica.
    3.Penantian kami seperti yang di nyanyikan oleh
    Meatloaf “The Rock And Roll Dreams Comes True”..
    Owh..how we are hurting..And the tears flows freely everytime I heard this song..Can the non military personnel understands??

    Terima kasih banyak banyak Tun dan moderator.

    S..Tan
    Oww..Come on..IGP?..He..He..Like I was saying, I prefer the comitatus and The Fifth Profession.By the way Ronin is not so bad but I prefer Kenshin style with reverse edge sword.
    Tun have save many lives but he did not tell you this S..Tan.Never did he boasts about it.That’s why it’s our turn to defend him as a mark of appreciation.
    Everybody is feels free to critizes and ridiculed even belittle him..But we, the grateful one will keeps trying to point it out to them..Last time he stands out and play this role to perfection.
    Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
    And he keep the The Sword of Damocles hanging on our head.
    In the whole wide world who thumb his nose at George Bush?
    Yes.It was Tun again.
    We feels so proud of him.Allah don’t make gentleman likes him no more.
    So..no ISA for you and no sword either but ‘Bokken’ and ‘Nunchaku’ is still sufficient for the ‘undesired’ element here in Tun blog.
    You will never get to see me brandishing the ‘Katana’ for the infamous
    ‘Hiten Mitsurugi’ style because it is reserved for Hanan and company.
    Nevertheless..thank you for you and Ravi contribution.It is far much better than some ‘not mentionable’..
    Terima kasih Tun.

  31. assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
    salam hormat, salam ramadhan dan salam nuzul Qur’an,
    jua salam kepada tun mahathir, penyu menangis, kazuya dan salam semuanya,
    alhamdulillah, blog chedet.co.cc ini sudah menjadi laman ilmu atau juga boleh kita katakan yang ianya sudah menjadi majlis ilmu cyber. terima kasih yang tidak terhingga kepada tun yang bijak membawa pembaca dan penulis untuk sama-sama berkongsi ilmu demi kebaikkan kita bersama. Sesungguhnya akal dan fikiran yang telah di anugerahkan kepada tun adalah buat kita semua untuk memerhatikan, memikirkan dan menilainya, sebelum kita melewati akan segalanya, maka sudah pastilah segala puji dan pujian itu hanyalah kepada Allah Azzawajalla.
    MAJLIS ILMU CYBER
    Kita semua telah dihimpunkan disini dengan takdirNya, maka dengan itu marilah kita semua sama-sama berlapang dada, berhujah dengan FAKTA serta menulis dengan baik iani tulislah dengan perasaan kaseh dan sayang kerana ini adalah majlis ilmu. (rujuklah pada yg ahli tentang majlis ilmu).
    MENULIS dan MEMBACA
    apakah anda akan menafikan jikalau saya mengatakan bahwa, tun mahathir membaca akan kesemua komen-komen anda disini? Saya sangat YAKIN dan PASTI bahwa, sememangnya tun membaca setiap penulisan yang anda titipkan disini. FAKTA telah membuktikan bahwa suatu waktu dulu tun mahathir pernah membicarakan akan perihal ‘SPEED READING’ pada sebuah majlis ilmu, dan dengan itu, saya menegaskan bahwa, jikalau tun sudah mempunyai ilmu ini, maka saya PASTI tun membaca akan kesemua penulisan-penulisan anda.
    kesinambungan daripada kesemua pembacaan, saya juga PASTI yang tun bukan hanya membaca secara bersahaja, tetapi sudah pastilah dibacanya dengan sepenuh-penuh penghayatan disusuli dengan sepenuh-penuh perasaan kasehnya, sayangnya dan cintanya kepada kita semua. Saya sangat YAKIN dan PASTI bahwa adakalanya tun membaca komen-komen kita ini dengan airmata yang terbit dari sudt hatinya yang paling dalam.
    FAKTA telah membuktikan bahwa, suatu waktu dahulu, tun mahathir menangis apabila menceritakan tentang betapa rakusnya sang ‘british’ merampas tanah-tanah orang melayu dan juga lombong-lombong bijih timah dan juga perniagaan orang melayu.
    Perkataan ‘KAPAL KOREK’ sangatlah pilu apabila diperdengarkan.
    ‘Emas puteh’ terus diburu, dan ‘sang british’ pula dengan cepat menyekat keRAJINan dan keDEGILan orang melayu yang terus-menerus membuka kawasan baru. ‘british’ menyekat semua itu dibawah enakmen ‘Malay Reservations and Regulations’, penyekatan yang hanya kerana ‘british’ yang tamak haloba mahu membolot kesemua ’emas puteh’ diketika itu.
    dan selain itu, jikalaulah saudara-saudara semua juga tahu tentang ‘sistem padi kunca dan padi ratus’?,
    (dan saya berhenti disini….kerana) (Iqraq’, ‘bacalah olehmu dengan nama Tuhanmu’, bersempena Nuzul Qur’an yang kita hayati dibulan ramadhan ini] dan saya juga PASTI saudara-saudara akan mengucapkan ucapan ‘terima kasih’ kepada mereka-merka yang terdahulu apabila kita berbicara tentang ‘sistem padi kunca dan padi ratus’.
    DEB dan TOLERANSI
    saudara-saudara saya yang saya sayangi dan saya kasehi sekalian, marilah kita sama-sama membina negara ini dengan penghayatan tolensi yang telah terjalin sekian ‘lama’. Lama bagi maksud dan tujuan kata ‘lama’ bukanlah berarti lama iani sewaktu zaman penjajahan ‘british’ tersebut, tetapi maksud ‘lama’ saya adalah merujuk kepada tolerensi kepada sebuah zaman yang telah wujud sebelum zaman kewujudan kemakmuran empayar melayu melaka lagi. Bagaimakah saudara-saudara mampu mengambarkan jenuh pemerhatian kemakmuran apabila semua manusia yang berbilang bangsa, negara, warna kulit tetapi saling hormat-menghormati diatara satu sama lain apabila mereka sama-sama melunsuri ‘Laluan Sutera dan Laluan Rempah’ di jalan daratan dan juga lautan? Sehinggkan begitu kuatnya kefahaman dan perjanjian SESAMA mereka dan SESAMA negara MERAHSIAKAN akan laluan ini daripada bangsa Eropah yang ketika itu berada dizaman kegelapan ‘Renaissance’ ketulian yang membimbangkan mereka.
    FAKTA KBMJ [YBRC]
    ‘Black-RGB(0,0,0),while white RGB (255,255,255)’-penyu menangis.
    FAKTA: 4 warna asas “prime colour” iaitu kuning, biru, merah dan jernih. Kuning adalah warna kekuasaan tanah, biru adalah warna kekuasaan air, merah warna kekuasaan api, dan jernih adalah warna kekuasaan angin.
    dan rujuk juga pada FAKTA: alam – tanah, air, api, angin
    marilah kita Bina Negara kita ini dengan kesemua faktor yang sedia ada itu SERTA mencari lagi faktor-faktor lain yang saling melengkapi,
    SIAPAKAH KITA SEMUA INI?
    jadi dengan itu sahabat, wahai penyu menangis, wahai kazuya, dan kesemuanya yang ada disini, usahlah lagi kita pertikaikan perkara-perkara yang rugi dan membuang masa dan tidak akan pernah selesai jikalau dipertikaikan, sebaliknya, marilah kita semuanya sama-sama memikirkan bagaimana kita mampu meyakinkan kenyataan kepada DUNIA bahawa, KITAlah yang mempunyai banggunan/menara yang tertinggi didunia. Dan jikalau FAKTA perkataan kita dimanipulasi dan dieksloitasi kan, maka kita cari perkataan baru dengan mengatakan KITAlah yang mempunyai banggunan/menara BERKEMBAR yang tertinggi di dunia. ‘We have TWO’-TDM.
    Apakah kita masih lagi takut-takut atau terus-menerus berdiri berani membahaskan kejayaan K.P.I kita yang sudah jelas terbukti di depan mata?
    salam hormat,
    salam penuh kasih sayang,

    2. 5% discount should only be given to houses or property that cost less than RM500K. Why? Because if a bumiputra can afford to buy property more than RM500K then he/she is not poor any more and NEP don

    Chinese schools existence are guaranteed by the constitution just like Malay special position. Australia, Indonesia, US don’t have many Chinese schools cos they dont have 6.5mil chinese. Australia 3% (700,000), Indon 1% (1.8mil spread over 4 islands) US 1.2% (3.6mil spread over country 32 times M’sian size) Surely there is no economic demand for a national school system. So they opt for private study. US, Australia allows private schools of any language.
    Answer;
    “Chinese schools existence are guaranteed by the constitution just like Malay special position”
    Read your own statements.
    That answered everything, does it not? I wish I could as well bold the “just like Malay special position”.
    Yes, there are, but do not forget “private”, you have answered that for me as well.
    The amount of population does not confers to what we have in Malaysia, even if there are many Malays, Chinese, or Indian in those countries, there would not be anything like we have in Malaysia still. Black Color school, White Color school, orange Color school, and yet barking for “equality”. A little bit of too much of delusion, and hypocrisy.
    >> Minorities not repressed
    I am not talking of the past which is history and gone. I am looking forward. The economic landscape of Malays has changed from 40yrs ago. There are too many wealthy Malays now to justify aid by colour. Why spend money on rich Malays, but cry for the poor Malays. If the intention is to help poor Malays, socio economic consideration should be the yardstick not race. Masih nak pakai kasut terompah?
    Bantuan ini dah bertukar dari ketinggalan ke ketuanan, dari perkongsian jadi pendatang, negara majmuk ke negara Melayu, rakyat M’sia ke bangsa asing. Who is being asked to retreat?
    Answer;
    Nobody is being asked to retreat, If the minorities really unrepresented like what you have claim, would there be many of these ‘minorities’ living in luxury, health, etc now.
    If they were really that much “oppressed”, would there be so many Chinese, Indian, making up to the top? Are they being oppressed much by the Malays? Tell me how many of them have died, failed to be rich as much as the Malays, living in the very discrimination whereby they have to ‘fight’ to live?
    Like you said, is it your own phobia or demonisation to say that they are ‘not represented’, “oppressed” ?. Was it that they are being treated very unequally, or they are treated very good that they wish to even question everything?
    >> Fight fire with fire
    It is your own phobia or demonisation to say others want Malays to kiss up to them or their feet. On tit for tat argument, an eye for an eye will make us all blind. Does your religion ask you to do this in the face of so-called ‘bad deeds’?
    Answer;
    I did not imply, they ‘want’ the Malays to kiss up to their feet, I guess you missed the point there. By kissing up to their feet – I was merely giving an example of your “api fight api”. Did you read the whole sentences?
    >> Economy
    Economics basic definition is about land, labour and capital. Production and consumption. Kedah Kelantan Terengganu Perlis has 5.2mil Malays vs 0.4mil Chinese.
    Who controls land in these 4 states?
    Who is the biggest consumer and producer of good and services? Can 0.4mil Chinese produce all the goods for 5.2mil Malays? How much consumption can 0.4mil command?
    Who has the bigger labour force?
    Can capital of 0.4mil compare with state owned capital? Who owns the state govt? You believe capital in the hands of 0.4mil is more than state money?
    Anyway my post was to answer accusations of monopoly not accusing.
    Answer;
    “Basic” terms, yes.
    However, those are only the force of production (Production Factors), and Consumptions.
    You have answered that as well for me by saying these;
    “Economics basic definition is about land, labour and capital. ‘Production and consumption’. ”
    Not to blow your bubbles, but those do not determine the total control of the economy as a whole.
    >> Malay states economy
    I meant to say it is logical for Malays to monopolize (by saying 100%) the economy of these 4 states due to their majority. You seem to measure economy by the no of shops or business. That is private sector economy. What about govt economy? Govt spends 200bil a year, half is for running civil service dominated by one community.
    What I am saying is that economy of an active 1.5mil (eg Penang) can overwhelm economy of 5.2mil. They do it by activity not racial discrimination. If that activity forms 60% of M’sian economy do you blame the 1.5mil discriminate the 5.2mil?
    Let me repeat this post is to counter accusation minorities discriminate to monopolize the economy. They do it thru sheer activity.
    Answer;
    “(by saying 100%) the economy of these 4 states due to their majority”
    That pretty much answering me as well, you are calculating the economy on your own “terms”.
    “You seem to measure economy by the no of shops or business.”
    In which of my post I seem to calculate the economy by the numbers of shops? or business?
    Lad, The average income of Chinese is about 2000$-3400$, Indian is about 1800$-2200$, whilst the Malay is only about 1000$-1800$.
    The amount of professionals, Chinese has the most with over 30000-50000, and Malay is about 20000-40000, and the Indian is only 10000-18000.
    The income of the state capital is not as much as you think the private sectors have gained over the past years. Your brain seem to be clouded by, “The richest in thy country is thy govt”.
    You seem to be in idea of “the more the labours/workforce and land” the more the “economics” advantages due to total control of ‘production and consumption’.

    PS: Ravi(rarunasalam), you and I have to be articulate or we will get clobbered in this blog. The sword of ‘samuraimelayu’ forged from ‘wajaperak’ waiting eagerly. They are the IGP of chedet country!

  36. Assalamu’alaikum
    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Allow me to comment on :wajaperak on September 3, 2009 4:53 PM
    Dear wajaperak,
    You are one blogger whom I would never dare to cross; in Islamic religious issues I could not match you extensive knowledge. You are ABSOLUTELY right, wajaperak. ABSOLUTELY.
    Hence I do not like to prolong any argument with you. I have not read those books you have quoted, but only a few, (countable by my fingers), eg. Al-Quran, Hadith (Muslim and Bukhary) and Al-Ghazali. I am so ignorant and I am not your match. But I read other books, which I believe you do not read also.
    Likewise, on famous Muslim personalities, I know, but only a few. But those that I know, enough to encourage me to remain a Muslim and some of them are my examples par excellence. Apart from Rasullullah (SAW) and the Sahabah, I admire the work of Jabir Hyyan and his teacher Imam Jaafar Al-Sadiq (one of the Twelve Imam). I will write about them in another posting InshaAllah, and illustrate why their works are still important and relevant even to our modern times. InshaAllah.
    However, on the issue of “salam” which you had discussed extensively on this blog, I was sensitive because it had reminded me of my own guilt for not replying to my sister.
    “Salam” is very important to me, since not only it is a greeting (as we all know) but it is also a kind of Muslim kinship passport/visa whenever I travelled in foreign especially. Whenever, I hear “salam” I feel comfortable that I am amongst Muslim, be it that I am on top of a mountain in Europe or a remote village in Japan or anywhere on Earth. Immediately, we make connection eventhough, we do not know each other and complete strangers in foreign lands. This is the Muslim brotherhood that I value and cherish and one important reason why I like to be a Muslim.
    When my sister greeted “salam” it was earnestly sincere and correctly pronounced since she can speak Malay well, and I did not reply. My lingering guilt, is because at that time, by not replying to her, I felt as if I had pushed her and cut-off my relation with her. Of course, she does not feel the same as I do. We continue to be on good terms. But as a Muslim, I think I should welcome her and not put a brrier eventhough an intangible one.
    On Palestinian issue, I have many Palestinian friends (or brothers and sisters). The first one, I met in Italy more than 20 years ago. He was a former refugee but was living in Benghazi in Libya then. At present he is in Sweden after having obtained a citizenship. I know other Palestinians who are by now citizens of the Gulf States, one of them even supply me regularly with Palestinian herb, called “mairamia”. Do you know? This herb when added to your tea, will make a nice fragrant. Apparently, mairamia could only be found from the field in Palestine.
    On Gaza, actually, I get direct news from a Palestinian student (here in Malaysia); his family lives in Gaza. I helped him to get his scholarship and assist his study. Recently, his scholarship was terminated. I hope our government will consider extra funding to help Palestinians who come to study in Malaysia. Apparently, he told me there is already such agreement. But how come his was discontinued, I am still finding out. This particular student is extremely bright and he has not been home since 3 years ago when he left Gaza for Malaysia.
    I make an appeal to Tun to help the Palestinians in their education as well as part of your activity in helping Gaza. This is one way we can assist the Palestinian people to build up their future, i.e. by having more clever people.
    Dear wajaperak, I am more attached to the Palestinians and Palestine than your sense have “told” you. Just because I am not doing what you are doing, does not mean I am “deteched”, and certainly does not deserve “name calling”, especially during the month of Ramadan. Allah knows best.
    Let me quote you a surah Thaha 111:
    “Dan barang siapa mengerjakan amal-amal yang soleh dan dia dalam keadaan beriman, maka ia tidak khuatir akan perlakuan yang tidak adil (terhadapnya) dan tidak pula akan pengurangan haknya.”
    I wish you dear wajaperak, Ramadan Kareem. InshaAllah, may God makes your fasting easy and being blessed.
    Wassalamu’alaikum.

  37. Certain traditions and customs which make the situation worse should be made obsolete. These days, we say that labelling a person is bad. Another example is when a girl is made to dress up like a boy all because the family does not have a male child. The parents and the rest of the elders do not understand the implication of a name. Being beautiful or handsome comes from the combination of genes. Both the parents may not look attractive but their child is. Or both the parents are attractive but not necessarily their child. It is a fine line between trying to lift up the standard of your own people and being a crony. When the rest of the people see that one group receives special treatment, you cannot stop them from thinking about favouritism. When you are trying to help your people, you must also help the others until such a time when both the groups can be on par with one another. When the standard is the same for everyone, you will have to stop giving special treatment. You have to make them survive and win on their own without you. That is also merdeka of another kind.

  38. Dear Tun Dr M,
    If you ask what is the most famous song sung in various occasions, then, we immediately say it is “Rasa Sayang Heh! Rasa Sayang Heh!”. Initially the song was thought to be composed by a Malaysian composer. Later, it was believed to be composed by a Singaporean composer.
    However, the actual truth is, that particular song’s tunes were copied from a Hindi movie song of the late 50s. I believe the radio channels airing Hindu songs could trace the particular song.
    I can vouch that no one would protest on that!

  39. SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN

    RESAH HATI DIBUAT NYA…HATI BERKATA NAK TERUSKAN SOLAT BERIMAMKAN DENGAN IMAM(DAH GERENTI PENGIKUT PAS)PADA HARI ITU ATAU TIDAK.. AKHIRNYA KAMI KUATKAN SEMANGAT DAN BANGUN MENINGGALKAN ‘SAF’ DISAKSIKAN JEMAAH..BERCAMPUR ADUK PERASAAN KAMI..MALU ADA MARAH PUN ADA.

    ALFATIHAH, AMIN.
    ps. Kami sembahyang zuhur saja di kelab Golf Seri Selangor..tak sempat keMasjid lain.

  40. Salam Ramadhan buat Tun sekeluarga…
    Sekali lagi saya ingin memberi komen…Saya setuju dgn tulisan SHUMIEY….Dah 52 tahun kita merdeka tapi adakah najis dadah dapat dihapuskan….Kalau tak silap saya Tun pada awal tahun 80an dulu adalah org yg amat serius memperkatakan tentang bahaya najis dadah sehingga Tun mula dikenali diserata dunia.
    Mengapa najis dadah ini masih menjadi musuh utama kita hingga ke hari ini. Saya mempunyai 4 org abg yg terlibat menggunakan najis ini. 2org drpdnya sudah meninggal dunia. Alhamdulillah adik beradik perempuan tidak terjebak sama. Byk sungguh kesengsaraan yg terpaksa dialami oleh keluarga kami. Hinaan dan cacian org terhadap keluarga kami. Tapi apakan daya saya … sudah ditakdirkan lahir dlm keluarga seperti ini. Sudah berpuluh kali keluar dan masuk penjara atau pusat serenti mereka tetap tidak boleh berubah. Kdg2 kesian dgn mak yg terpaksa berdepan dgn karenah mereka saban hari.
    Apa yg saya pelik tu bila mereka di dlm pusat atau penjara mereka boleh menelefon keluar ..mintak dimasukkan duit dlm akaun bank tertentu.Bila ditanya untuk apa mereka bgtau untuk beli brg keperluan di dlm. Apa yg saya terperanjat apabila mendengar cerita abg saya … duit itu bkn digunakan untuk membeli keperluan tapi untuk membeli brg seperti tembakau rokok bahkan dadah jg . Jd saya hairan siapakah yg menjual kpd mereka.. Malahan harga yg dikenakan pun 4@5 kali ganda drp yg dijual di luar… Jd kalau guna akal fikiran kita yg waras ini…Bolehkah najis dadah ini dihapuskan… Tepuk dada tanyalah hati.. amanah yg diberi dinodai .
    Selagi org melayu tidak mempunyai jatidiri dan ketamakkan menguasai diri tak payah lah kita iri pada bangsa lain yg hidup mereka cukup tinggi dgn cara berdikari….
    Sekian Tun…..Maruah melayu terletak di tangan melayu. Kalau hendak bangsa lain menghormati kita… kita haruslah menghargai dan menghormati sesama kita sendiri terlebih dahulu…

  41. ASSALAMULAIKUM TUN,
    INI SEDIKIT TERKELUAR DARI TOPIK ASAL.
    BOLEHKAH TUN HURAIKAN MENGAPA NIK AZIZ TIDAK PERNAH MENYURUH ANWAR BERTAUBAT SEBALIKNYA KARPAL SINGH YANG DESAK ANWAR BERTAUBAT.

    You are right again about primary colors. There are 3 (Red, Green and Blue) from the combinations of RGB you get all the color spectrums. Black is only when RGB (0,0,0), while white RGB (255,255,255).

  43. Assalamualaikum Tun
    First of all i would like to thank you for creating an oppurtunity for public like us to express their opinion and you and your team had done a wonderful job.
    Secondly , i had been in the music and entertainment industry eversince i finish ny studies for the love of music and preservation of our traditional music. Through out my years of experience this industries had been well acknowlege in most part of develop country especially at this point of time where digital content had become so big and no boundaries.
    According to the annual Global Entertainment and Media Market analysis report from PricewaterhouseCoopers, total market value reached US$1.43 trillion in 2006. The total market value is estimated to reach US$1.96 trillion in 2011, giving a 6.4% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2007~2011.
    The analysis report of Global Entertainment and Media Market covered categories such as movies, television, VOD services, music records, radio, internet advertising and Access Spending, video games, business information, magazines, newspapers, publishing books, theme parks, gamble or restricted games and sports. Products and services include traditional media, digital services, traditional trading, net transmission and sales.
    Despite the fact that this industry in not solely entertainment but contribute a big chunk to the socio-economy we still don’t get enough support especially for the new generation. We are still living in the past glory i’m talking about the golden era of P.Ramlee. People fail to realize that the important of the this new generation who is creating and shaping our future industry.
    From my studies up the early 80’s the industry moving at parr with neighbouring country like Indonesia, Thailand and Singapore in music, film as well as stage production. Sadly from then on where all the neighbouring country are moving forward but we are moving backward instead, i wonder what went wrong and at what point does this happen.
    The well being of local musician are taken lightly resulting a poor living condition and to make matter worse the overflow of foreign musician and their music to our country without any ENFORCEd guidelines we are killing our industry. We do have a lot of good talent in this country but due to interest of certain parties who’s greedy and not thinking about the future consequences for their action this talent are fading away most of them just doin it as part time hobby as there is no promising future.
    Dear Tun maybe you can give some of your wishfull thinking on the matters as i beleive that we do have a good talent here in this country who deserve international aclaim with proper guidance and support.
    I also come acroos the 4th core of Malaysian Plan which claim that there are allocation for art & music but so far nothing had surfaced. Coruption is the last thing we need on this dying industry

  44. Tun, thanks for allowing my comments to appear in your blog.
    To ‘suratkabarlama’, I noted your comment and wish to add a little- “even the toilet of the mosque in Kampung Baru (near Kampung Baru Medical Centre) has been repaired by a chinese contractor last week!” I geleng-geleng kepala tengok mereka masuk kawasan masjid dengan seluar kato’. Pathetic Malays (Muslims)!
    To all who read this blog, let me be very frank to you. I am not racist. I have a few Chinese friends too. I just decide to be honest to myself and live in reality.
    What is the reality? We are having too many differences! We Malays, Chinese & Indians do not gel that much because of our origins, achievements and religions. We are cordial and friendly but not really love each other. At times, we are hostile to each other but we try our best not to go after each other’s throat. We do not really trust each other and we feel more comfortable living within our own society, talking in our own mother’s tongue.
    Why can’t we live like the white and the black in the US? We simply can’t, at the moment. In the US, the white and the black are divided before mainly because of the color of their skin. They both generally profess the same religion i.e. Christian. And common religion is really helpful and very forceful elements which unite the American People. That is the reason why it was a lot easier to be united and that explain why Obama is generally accepted by the white. The differences are not too stark.
    What I am saying is, in toto, we have differences too many in Malaysia and I resign to the fact that these differences are not easy to reconcile unless the Malay is economically and educationally at par with the Chinese, so as the Indian. It is always easier to speak and understand each other when no one should feel superior to the other.
    Bottom line. We Malays, Chinese and Indians do not really trust and love each other and economic imbalance and disparity in educational achievements make it worse. Don’t blame NEP. Yes, UMNO members benefited much of it but Malays generally benefit from this policy. The policy is good, only the implementation requires some checks and balance.
    My final words, and Malays always forget this: We Malays are lucky that there was an immigrant from India who married a Malay lady. The son of this couple then managed to be the PM who always had the Malay interest at heart. If not owing to him, we Malays could be even further behind now. So,be grateful, no matter how much you hate him for whatever reasons. I hate him too at times 🙂

  45. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun,
    I studied abroad in Australia few years back. When I was there, I realized no matter anywhere I go, nothing beats Malaysia. I came to realized that Malaysia is such a wonderful country. I came to love and appreciate my country even more. Not only me but my friends too; Malays, Chinese, Indians, they all agree on this. The fact is that we can go out with friends from different races and religions, sit together, laugh together, cry together without any worries, without any problems. We had an interesting discussion recently on how we became such close friends (different religions and races) and why there are a lot of Malaysian still arguing among each other. We arrived to a point, where these Malaysians, they look everything in HATE and DIFFERENCES. Why can’t we all learn to LOVE and look at the SIMILARITIES. An interesting fact that a friend pointed out is that, every religion that exists in this very world teaches us to LOVE not HATE. Excuse me because I can’t say that I am an expert in my own religion which is ISLAM, but what I have learned and came to understand with my limited knowledge is that ISLAM teaches us to respect others even from different religion, treat them with love. The same thing also applies to CHRISTIANITY, “thou shalt love thy neighbor” as a christian friend pointed out. We look pass the differences and we took the similarities that we have, that is what uniting us friends. The discussion progressed even further till we came to a point that, no matter what our religions are or what races we are, black or white, we all love each other and appreciate each other as human beings. It is sad to see that one day this very country, peaceful country, that we love being thorn apart just because the majority fails to see the good in each other. We, me and my friends may be young (20 to 23 of age), but we can see the good in each other, why can’t others? My post may not be relevant to this topic but I just wanna share some of my thoughts.
    Selamat berpuasa and may ALLAH bless you and your family dear Ayahanda =)
    Assalamualaikum

  46. UMNO breeds terrorists. Only if its members had responsible parents to give them basic education that everyone is equal. It all, in the end, comes to you because you are the one who gave Sharia court equal powers as Federal court. If you had a non-terrorist mind, you would have thought it would divide Malaysia (and it did), and breed terrorists in this country. Another example of a terrorist is your son. Wish you, your wife, your children, your grandchildren great suffering. Then, I hope the Hindu Gods will then baptize you and your family and then you can lead the life of a normal human (non-terrorist).

  47. George Bush is right – terrorists are state sponsored. We have terrorists in Malaysia – the cow head protesters, Hishamuddin, KJ etc. If I say Islam is a terrorist religion, tell me why I am not correct.

  48. Assalamu’alaikum/ Ni Hao/ Namaskaram/ Y.B.Tun,
    Referring to the comment dated 4th Sept by “the” Rashid (“the” because he does not deserve any form of respect).
    Please advice this philistine to refrain from insulting other cultures by indirectly addressing them as “Black” & “Rather fair”.Clearly this shows a typical racist statement.
    Talking about our Chinese folks treating maids? Not all 5 fingers are the same, therefore it is wrong to judge someone by their race & by a couple of bad people. Is everyone else a saint in other forms?
    To quote verse 108 in the Al-An’am chapter of the Quran, Muslims are forbidden from insulting or desecrating anything that the followers of other religions worshipped or practiced so that they would in turn show respect for Islam.
    Therefore insulting others is against Islamic teaching.
    Thank you & God Bless all

  50. Salam YAB dan Di Kasihi Tun,
    Tun, takziah di atas pemergian kakak Tun ke Rahmatullah. Semoga Tun & keluarga tabah.
    Kepada mereka yang masih lagi mahu menyalahkan DEB (sehingga tidak nampak langsung segala kebaikan DEB), sila bawa bertenang, dan buat muhasabah diri. Pada pandangan saya, cuma mereka yang TAMAK HALOBA saja yang tidak nampak kebaikan DEB. Saya yakin jika mereka berpeluang dapat semua kontrak kerajaan, mereka juga tidak akan menolak (akan SAPU BERSIH) kerana perasaan TAMAK HALOBA. Mereka ini marah kerana mereka TIDAK DAPAT PELUANG KEEMASAN TERSEBUT.
    Apapun Tun, saya bersyukur kerana DEB telah mengeluarkan saya dan adik-beradik saya yang lain dari kehidupan yang miskin/susah.
    ** Semoga Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah SWT **

  51. I’m getting sick of this Malay-Chinese thing. Chinese is good at business, good in education, etc. and all other Malay bashing things. The truth is, the Malays will never credit themselves. A virtue taken too far. Enough is enough. We are simply too near-sighted and see only things very near to us. Quite a shame since we’ve traveled very far. Forget this yardstick of Malay against Chinese successes.
    I’m a very small time businessman, I do only international business simply because it is a more level playing field than here. In the international arena, they don’t care who my relatives are, what my race is, which village I came from, who I know etc. While many Malays in Malaysia respect the way Chinese in Malaysia do business, I have different views. The best businessmen I’ve had experience with? Europeans (Germans especially), Japanese (straight forward business guys, easy to deal with them), Indians from India (never fail to impress me with their low tech business methods by very high rate of success).
    Let’s go to the gelanggang sebenar (international business). The more we do it, the less we’ll squabble at home, the more mature we’ll get.

  56. salam tun,
    saya sgt bngkang kwujudan ekuinas, mrket liberalisation mohd najib.
    ekuinas –
    mengapa shj tdk mengesyorkan kpd PNB akan idea ekuinas itu.
    boleh shj phak PNB mengmbil kira utk mewujudkan satu produk yang tidak mengagihkan kekayaan korporat.
    satu produk yg kejayaannya brgantung kpd 2 ciri utama;
    i. kemampuan mengenal pasti Bumiputera yang berpotensi menjadi rakan kongsi yang berdaya maju.
    ii. mengenal pasti kegiatan ekonomi yang boleh disertai dengan pembiayaan dan bimbingan Ekuinas.
    bole shj kerajaan mohd najib menyalurkan RM500 juta – RM 10 billion kpd produk br PNB itu.
    TAPI, mungkin sukar jika mohd najib sgt kisah kemana RM500 juta – RM10 billion ini pergi.
    mungkin lagi senang bg pihaknya jika mwujudkan badan baru.
    mngen dalikan fund baru dgn portfolio yg baru.
    senang utk dikendalikan fund itu.
    kemana perginya adlah sperti yg diarahkan.
    prkara tdk boleh dilakukan diPNB
    adlh sgt mmntingkan diri mohd najib, oleh krn keinginan mengwal fund,
    dikecilkan pula quota bumiputera di PNB, mnyalahkan prinsipal mengagihkan kekayaan korporat PNB,
    utk menjustifikasikan kewujudan ekuinas.
    saya sgt brharap selepas graduasi, saya msh mndpt tmpt utk mmbeli amanah saham PNB.
    saya juga trtarik dgn prkataan telus didalam piagam ekuinas.
    harap tidak seperti valuecap y terlampau “telus” hingga xnmpak apa lansong
    market liberalisation –
    bg pndapat saya, open market adlah penting, tapi bukan skrang.
    its easy to love capitalsm if d capital is in our side.
    we rlly need the capital to be in our side if we want to jump into an open market.
    capitalism is good. its just not now.
    naikkan tahap pegangan korporat bumiputera, barulah merancang utk open market.
    rancang, bukan lompat terus.
    takut lompat, tak bangun2.
    kenaikan harga minyak –
    kerajaan brtindak utk berada di dlm kesenangan.
    harga minyak di pasaran naik, dinaikkan harga.
    bila harga tak naik, tapi krajaan fikirkan xrelevan, dinaikkan juga.
    bila harga turun, tapi krajaan fikirkan relevan utk dinaikkan, dinaikkan juga.
    saya fikir, kerajaan sgt menjaga portfolio invsmentnya.
    saya kira kerajaan juga perlu memberi cushion kpd rakyat.
    bila harga myk naik mendadak, umumkan akan plan kenaikan, barulah dinaikkan secara brperingkat.
    apbila kenaikan harga scr brantai, sukar utk mmberi cushion scr saksama kpd semua tahap rakyat.
    dngn cara cushion harga myk, lama juga gaji masing2 berada dipoket2 rakyat.
    dgn bantuan berita, mesej dpt dhantarkan kpt rakyat yg mereka mmpunyai krajaan yg btul.
    kalau takut sgt syarikat besar mendapat manfaat cushion ini, taxkan balik mereka2 ini.
    adalah sgt penting utk rakyat mmpunyai expendible income yg besar dikala krisis.
    kekal sirkulasi duit dalam pasaran sgt penting.
    dengan teori invsment portfolio kerajaan dikala krisis juga penting.
    tetapi jika kerajaan perlu memilih utk mnyalurkan duit ke subsidi minyak atau invest in new projects.
    perlu juga difikirkan projek kerajaan ini, pekerjanya adlah pkerja2 asing.
    duit pkerja2 ini, hanya ditinggalkan dimalaysia utk kegunaan seharian.
    lebihan duit pkerja2 asing yg akan hantar duit ini kpd keluarga mereka diluar malaysia.
    duit itu akan digunakan dinegara lain.
    dengan keuntungan syarikat2 yg mendapat prjek ini pula,
    kita harap mereka menyalurkan juga dipasaran malaysia.
    tapi comfort yg dimiliki oleh pihak2 ini xdpt dirasai oleh rakyat2 lain.
    minta pendapat tun tntang dasar liberalisasi pasaran mohd najib.
    saya sgt tertunggu aritcle tun tntang ekonomi

  59. Kerana DEB, ibu bapa saya dari kamung yang ibu bapa mereka kais pagi makan pagi dapat menjadi seorang professional berjaya sekarang. Ibu bapa saya adalah anak kelahiran DEB. ALhamdulillah, kami dapat hidup senang dan boleh dikirakan lebih daripada cukup. Mampu duduk di rumah berjuta-juta. Memakai benda benda mahal. Dan yang nyatanya, ibu bapa saya bukanlah orang politik dan mempunyai able itu cable ini dlm politik untuk berjaya. Saya cukup geram bila orang melihat orang Melayu senang dan kemudian mengaitkan dengan kroni. Orang Melayu tak boleh berjayakan kalau tak masuk UMNO? Orang Melayu tak boleh berjayakan dengan kerja keras sendiri. DEB ibaratkan tongkat untuk berdiri. Apabila sudah berdiri, tongkat itu dibuang dan kemudian kita berlari sendiri. Saya pasti, ramai lagi keluarga Melayu seperti ibubaa saya. Berjaya dengan DEB. Bukan dengan kroni. DEB perlu diteruskan untuk membantu mereka yang masih miskin di sana.

    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,

    But I believe that there are good and bad people always across the spectrum of race, religion or people. I like to associate myself with good people always.
    BUT WE SHUD ALSO ‘ATTACHED’ OURSELVES WITH THE NOT SO GOOD PEOPLE TO PROVIDE THEM THE BUOY TO GUIDE THEM FOR A SAFE JOURNEY TO ETERNITY..

    Actually, I am not at all upset by the fact that they call me si Hitam. You are right in the Malay culture this gelaran “Hitam” is common in classic characters such as “Hulubalang Hitam” and so on.
    AND WE NAMED OUR SELF ‘KOMUNIS’ IN OUR PRIMARY STAGE COZ THIS ANGRY BOY WAS DEPRIVED OF THE $10 SCHOLARSHIP ALTHOUGH TOP OF THE CLASS FROM PRIMARY ONE TO FIVE…

    I have been consulted to advise the public against the use of skin whitening agents which are harmful. I accepted this and have written articles on the subject of fair-skin products, their advantages and disadvantages.
    KUNTA TEMPE (KT), ‘THE MILLION DOLLAR MANSION MAN’ WUD HAVE RECONSIDERED USING ‘TEMPE’ AS THE ‘BLEACHING’ AGENT HAD YOUR GOODSELF ADVISED HIM..HE HE

    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Izinkan, saya menyambung lagi….
    PakNgah, penyu tidak menangis selalu, cuma masa nak bertelur saja.
    Tulisan Zul dan arik, mengingatkan sebuah karangan yang saya tulis lebih 10 tahun yang lalu. Ia dituju khas untuk wanita, tetapi dengan trend sekarang jejaka pun boleh juga. Khas untuk blogger chedet….
    ————-Erti Kecantikan———
    Proses pemutihan adalah teknologi, ianya bukan sains. Untuk memahami proses pemutihan kita perlu memahami struktur kulit manusia. Kulit adalah organ terbesar manusia (16% dari berat badan). Kulit di bahagikan kepada tiga lapisan, iaitu epidermis (lapisan yang terluar sekali); dermis (lapisan dalam); dan lapisan lemak (adipose tissue). Proses pemutihan melibatkan lapisan epidermis secara langsung.
    Epidermis terbahagia kepada beberapa sub-lapisan dan yang terluar sekali dipanggil lapisan

  62. YABHG TUN DR MAHATHIR
    Salam Hormat Salam Kasih Salam Ramadhan al-Mubara
    this is my 1st time coming to chedet.
    its really interesting.
    you really inspire me
    u are brilliant.
    i read many books from my papa library about you.
    when you told about your childhood days.
    almost similar with me.
    the time when ur father coming home,
    u’ll run toward the study table,
    pretending you are studying.
    i love all your work .
    everytime the lecture ask me & my classmate to do assignment
    about your idol who you want to be.
    majority of the student will choose you.
    last week one of my lecture told me, how UiTM got U tittle from ITM.
    And he told me it was you that time who announced it.
    its lucky for me to be 1 of UiTM student.
    even though when the 1st i come to UiTM the lecturer ask me,
    awak cina, mcm mana boleh masuk UiTM.
    i’m 50% chinese, my father is a Chinese, my mom is malay.
    when i was small, i use to study in Chinese primary school.
    its OK for me until i change to Malay school when i was 10 in 1997.
    that was the 1st time, i hate to be Chinese,
    i really looks like Chinese, even my Chinese friends said my eye looks smaller compare to them.
    Everyone call me apek mata sepek, tak basuh berak.
    its keeps going ,
    i dont know what to say. Until 1 days, i told them that
    aku bangga jadi orang cina, aku lagi putih dari korang.
    aku lagi pandai dari korang. aku lagi banyak duit dari korang.
    korang apa yang ada?
    From that time they stop calling me apek.
    and now i’m very proud because i’m Malay and Chinese.
    other than Malay friends,
    i have a lot of Chinese and Indian friends,
    i think that having friends between Non-Malay and Malay is
    the different having a male friends and Female friends.
    Malay(female) and Non-Malay(male.
    girls always busy body, love to talk behind your back,
    if they have something they dont like they will never tell you
    they rather tell someone else they dont really know.
    Compare to male,totally vice verse.
    end of last sem, i join one facilitator course under GPMS,
    we been tough alot about Malaysia and Malay.
    in that program there’re one bumiputera, i really pity of him
    because when we all cheers Hidup Melayu!3x
    He also has to cheers even thought he’s not Melayu.
    every slide contain about Malay, i think it should also
    contain about bumiputera.
    i dont really agreed about what this club on too,
    its not because i’m not pure Malay but,
    i think they should think other views to attract youth generation nowadays.

    ………………LAWAN API DGN API
    Setelah baca ‘lampu basikal’ on September 2, 2009 10:02 AM di dapati ramai yg menuduh kaum lain perkauman. Tapi mulut sendiri tak henti bisik kaumnya untuk buat sama. Dia kutuk perbuatan salah dia ajar kaum sendiri ikut buat salah. Melawan perkauman dgn jadi lebih perkauman? Melawan api dgn api. Agama mana yg ajar ini?
    Anjurlah undang undang anti perkauman atau cara baik.
    Dari tulisan PenyuMenagis, ada ‘Melayu’ sebenarnya berdarah Cina. Jaga jaga mencaci bangsa lain, mungkin memaki nenek moyang sendiri!
    Answer;
    Siapa yang ajar kaum sendiri buat salah?
    After reading Lampu Basikal, what was on my mind was; it is not entirely malays fault that if Malaysia is becoming more of a racist country, days by day.
    What I have tried to stress in my previous post was that, not only the malays are acting that way. Going back to the root of the issue, why do we are racist? it WAS because of the system being used is dividing the multiracial citizen of this country.
    If you go to any other country like Australia, Indonesia, or the US even. Is there any chinese schools?
    The same applies for the so-called “special tags” by the bumis, which is actually like, not even existed. By any chance, If these “special rights” was so real, what could it have actually done to help ? With this DEB, or the ‘Special rights’ or any sort of it; existed for more than 40 years, has the other races being left so behind that they claim they are being treated “unequally” ?
    By saying, fight “api with api” do you mean to imply that it is perfectly fine for others to do ‘bad deeds’ to you, while on the other hand, you must kiss up to them, and kiss their feet? such inferiority. For god sake, we wish to rectify, not destroy it.
    ……………..MENGGONDOL EKONOMI
    Ini pandangan pada tuduhan membolot ekonomi. Kaum 6 juta kuasai ekonomi 6 juta orang sendiri menggugat Melayu? Kalau ekonomi ini lebih rancak dari ekonomi 15juta Melayu salah mrk? Sedarlah 24% ini mengusai ekonomi mrk sendiri bukan seluruh negara.
    Answer;
    Where did you get your facts, of kaum “6 juta kuasai ekonomi 6 juta”?
    Do you even know what is economy in the first place?
    And, “24% menguasai ekonomi mereka sendiri”, funny. AFAIK, There is not such thing as, “kau 6 juta orang ekonomi kau 6 juta orang, itu ekonomi kau, aku ekonomi aku”
    We were talking about the, “penguasaan” yang berlaku akibat ketidakseimbangan yang dah berdekad berlaku, that was why we mention of “economics monopoly”.
    Nobody was saying that; “OH YOURS IS MORE THAN ME! I MUST ASK MY DAD (GOVT) TO TAKE IT FROM YOU”, in other word, nobody was saying we should grab anyone’s rights from the beginning. What they have was theirs.
    What we tried to stress, was that – what must be done to make it, not one-sided flop. This would cause imbalance, and that was why things must be done to put it back on the right track.
    Melayu di Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu setiap negeri lebih dari Cina di P. Pinang. Salah Cina P. Pinang ekonomi mrk lebih rancak walau jumlah kurang dan tanah lebih kecil ? Sawah, ladang, hutan, gunung, sungai pun tak ada. Berapa ekonomi Melayu yg dibolot oleh minoriti di 3 negeri ini?
    Kaum lain tak heboh ekonomi Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu (semua 5.2juta) di kuasai 100% Melayu. Negeri ini dekat 40% jumlah Melayu M’sia. Warga Kelantan (2.1juta) lebih jumlah dari WP (1.9juta). Mcm mana Cina gondol ekonomi 5.2juta Melayu di negeri ini?
    Shah Alam, Putrajaya bandar Melayu baru tak lebih maju pun dari KB, AS (kecuali bangunan krjn)? Tapi dia dengki kedai orang di Kepong, Cheras? Salah kaum minoriti perkauman Shah Alam, Putrajaya jadi begitu? Menuduh buta, tak nampak bandar majmuk lebih maju dari bandar sebangsa.
    Nak faham lebih tentang kuasa ekonomi boleh baca ‘Kaki Dalam Kasut’ July 23, 2009 1:37 AM.
    Answer;
    Where do you get your facts of, economy of those states are 100% under the Malays? By 100%, you are saying it IS entirely monopolized by the Malays, that is, indeed impressive of a fact. I am sad to say the opposite.
    In spite of the small amount of chinese, they controlled much of the economy. However, it was not their fault this happens, most Malays are lazy, and even if they get helps from the government they would still failed.
    Truth is, chinese monopolized more than 60% of Malaysian economy despite the not-so many chinese populations as you tried to “refers”, while the other races are still left behind including Indian.

  64. Salam,
    In your para 7 “I agree with you that intermarriage would help. But few Chinese would accept conversion. But the Malays will insist on this”
    I beleive Islam is a good religion but was abused by some unscrupulous quarters for their political gain. If Islam is not a “no U-turn” religion, I guess more non-muslims are willing to find out more about Islam. It is human nature that people don’t want to be forced to do things. Non-muslim life do not have 101 rules to follow in their daily life. Even if there is, we are not afraid of being watched by the moral police. Unfortunately, all these negatives things are deeply associated with Islam religion. That is why very few would accept coversion (to be precise, convert to Islam)

  65. Assalamu’alaikum,
    Yang Berbahagia Tun Dr. Mahathir
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    Thanks you for your comments dear bloggers. Since this is posting is dedicated to me, I feel compelled to reply and made my further contributions to chedet. You may take my postings whichever way you like (positive or negative). But for me, my niat is ikhlas and with the hope that I will contribute into the nation building of our country. If what I wrote is all nonsense, I will not contribute any more. But I believe that there are good and bad people always across the spectrum of race, religion or people. I like to associate myself with good people always.
    Dear Tun, thanks you for your kind words. I did not expect you to reply to my earlier posting on 12 August. It was somewhat a pleasant surprise. I am one of your many admirers. We admire and respect for your leadership.
    Please allow me to reply to Zul Rahman’s comment.
    By ZUL RAHMAN on September 4, 2009 4:35 AM
    Dear Zul,
    Actually, I am not at all upset by the fact that they call me si Hitam. You are right in the Malay culture this gelaran “Hitam” is common in classic characters such as “Hulubalang Hitam” and so on.
    I use this issue as a cliche’ in my writing to attract attention.
    But mind you, with such indoctrination from small I never see myself as fair, I always think that my skin is coloured. People still call me Itam these days dan saya membahasa diri saya “tam”.
    In recent time when “fair skin” is fashionable, I have been approached by companies of skin products to be their “fair model”. I refused. On the other hand, since I have some expertise in this, I have been consulted to advise the public against the use of skin whitening agents which are harmful. I accepted this and have written articles on the subject of fair-skin products, their advantages and disadvantages. Actually, fair skin is not suitable for our tropical climate. Colored skin is more advantageous since melanine (the cloured layer on your skin) will protect you from the harmful sun radiation. Those fair skin people need to use sun-tan to protect them, while colored people don’t.
    Allah knows best what is good for His subject.
    You are right again about primary colors. There are 3 (Red, Green and Blue) from the combinations of RGB you get all the color spectrums. Black is only when RGB (255, 255, 255), while white RGB (0,0,0).
    Semoga kita mendapat pengajaran. Wassalam.
    Dari Panglima Hitam!

  66. YABhg Tun,
    Di tempat saya, Pegawai-pegawai mahu pegang dengan jawatannya dalam Kerajaan…business pun mau….buka kedai pun ada….supply makan sekolah pun mau…contract ikut cabutan untuk lesen F pun mau…franchise proton pun ada juga. Pegang jawatan dalam parti…..mau rebut jawatan tinggi – tinggi…parti…persatuan segala – galanya mau. Macam mana orang tidak marah……….
    Tetapi bila orang marah….parti tertentu yang disalahkan.
    Mungkin ada kebenaran marah kepada parti ini kerana membiarkan orang – orang seperti ini membolot semua yang ada di depan matanya.
    Kalau mau jadi kakitangan kerajaan…buatlah macam kakitangan kerajaan. Kalau mau business…letaklah jawatan dalam kerajaan dan bagi chance orang lain duduk situ. kalau mau bolot semua juga….
    time pilihanraya….you seorang lah sahaja pergi mengundi!!!!

  67. Dear Tun, I wish to dedicate the following comments to my fellow Malays, especially the younger generation:

  68. assalamualaikum Tun, Forget about penyumenangis n lets concentrate on what kamal ahmad had just sent. I agree with him totally on ‘nasib UMNO’.
    But as a Malay, lets concentrate on what will happen next. If UMNO really falls, who will champion the Malay agenda? PAS? With n.aziz around… forget it.
    UMNO has to go back to its style. Talk with the muftis, cos they also played important role in UMNOs history.
    Should we hav the icon to champion the Malay cause, we should by now have somekind of malay cabinet, to ensure our cause runs properly n strategically

  69. Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
    I was invited for iftar yesterday, and I would like to share the dialogue we had there with your good self.
    Investing in tomorrow.
    The situation for UMNO is not near closely as complicated as it looks Tun. God, in my opinion is simplistic; Particular and meticulous yes, but simplistic with truth and honesty. As such, human tends to complicates everything past, present and future. We judge in all of our limitations and subsequently we execute in all of our manifestation. This is more critically so with the Malay mind frames. Honestly, nothing short of making all Bumiputra would work now.
    Anwar

  70. Tun yang dihormati and my fellow bloggers,
    1. I read penyu menangis reply with interest.
    2. If penyumenangis is 100% chinese, I am 25% chinese. My grandfather was a chinese who married my grandmother a malay. I feel that it was unfortunate he had not taught my father Hokkien since that was his mother tongue. I am currently still struggling learning Mandarin . It is a tough language to learn once one got older. I love languages. As I am now working in Sarawak, I am also learning Iban language. All I am saying is, in the quest to put Bahasa Malaysia as the national language,there is nothing wrong to learn other languages and it will open a lot of doors of opportunity. My patients are usually glad when I can ask them medical questions in their own mother tongue. In Sarawak ( I am really impressed with Sarawakian ), even if they all have their mother tongue , they can speak the national language fluently.
    3. Coming back to Sarawak , I agree with them when they say they have embraced 1Malaysia all along. My staff are mostly Christians from various descendent ( Iban, Kenyah etc). I love them all and I can work with them very well and yes, they love me in return.
    4. I agree with penyumenangis on the issue of conversion. The Malay community tend to asks too much too soon. Once somebody embraced islam they expect them to follow all the do’s and dont’s without first instilling their faith. When I studied in the UK , I met an American girl who was searching for the truth. She had a lot of questions and I explained the answers as best I can. Once she embraced Islam, the muslim community there accept her with open arms and did not heap on her the do’s and dont’s too much too soon.
    5. Another experience of mine , many years ago when I was still in the government service, I was asked to accompany a doctor(from an NGO) to go an Orang Asli village. Their doctor was from Myanmar and could not speak Malay.It was a sorry state of affair. They build a surau for them but there was nobody to guide them. The toilet and wudu’ area was out of order. Where are these people who are quick to judge people for their minor wrongdoings, when they do not do their amar makruf in the first place?
    6. I am sure the NEP intention is well and good but I would like to argue on the implementation. I can give a real life example : A government officer enticed a professional malay who has his own company to work on a proposal. He was promised he would be given the project. They even ask for a model for the project and it costs a lot of money.Once they managed to get the budget they kept it hanging for a while. Suddenly he was then told he could only get the submission part which is only about 20% because “top gun” wants his friend to do the rest and you know the story, “top gun’s” friend is not a Malay. So, on paper it looks like Malays get 30% but in the actual truth you can calculate.
    7. There was a blogger who said that if he was the father in law of Tun’s daughter in law he would disown her. By calling Tun a racist, he is not a sensible person himself. Was it his daughter’s fault that her father in law is indeed racist? Somebody also asked why were they called racist if they are only trying to help their race which is what Tun is trying to do. Reading this blog , you can see people from all spectrum, from the moderate to the extreme from either side. I still believe there are a lot more moderate people than the extremists. Which is why I feel BN really have to improve themselves . I hope MCA leadership problem would be resolved soon.
    8. Somebody told me that I am a socialist in my ideals, may be they are right. In trying to help the Malay, I hope we should not forget to help the poor from various communities. There was a very loyal Malaysian from Indian descent and a very loyal civil servant. She was a single mother. When her daughter got 10A1, she applied for various government scholarships but was rejected. Since she was determined to help her daughter ambition’s to become a doctor she made a lot of loans in order to do so.
    9. My fellow bloggers , the segregation at school does not help in fostering unity but since every parties insisted that it remains as it is, other avenues should be sought. I hope Koh Tsu Koon and Idris Jala can work on a good framework for the national unity.
    10. Again, I am sorry if I offended anybody. I believe everybody wants to live in peace in harmony and to be able to raise their family well. Try to open your mind , learn more and read more.
    11. Dear Tun, condolences on your sister’s passing. May ALlah bless her soul. Take care.
    12. Wassalam.

  71. assalamaualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
    salam hormat tun yang dikasehi, salam hormat penyu menangis dan salam hormat semuanya,
    saudara kami yang kami kasehi, sang ‘penyu menangis’,
    apalah yang digundah dikisah pada warna atau nama panggilan, nama ‘si hitam’ atau warnanya ‘hitam’ jikalau ia pengetahuan tentang itu sudah melewati luas pelosok minda pengetahuanmu, maka akan bersegeralah dikau kembali kepada nama dan warna agung itu,
    sesungguhnya pada kesemua nama yang tercatat didalam pensejarahan kepulauan melayu tersangatlah banyaknya untuk dipelopori sehingga tidak terhitungkan sampai hari ini,
    sebutan kata nama ‘hitam’ sangatlah sinonim dengan nama ‘panglima hitam’, awang hitam, panglima awang hitam dan sehinnga sampailah kepada KD Panglima Hitam,
    ketahuilah olehmu akan kepada hasilan percampuran segala warna-warna asas yang utama itulah yang telah menjadikan hitam itu sendiri sebagai warna keseluruhan bagi segala warna atau dengan sebutan lain sebagai ‘warna total’.
    “hitam adalah warna yg diasaskan daripada campuran 4 warna asas “prime colour” iaitu kuning, biru, merah dan jernih. Kuning adalah warna kekuasaan tanah, biru adalah warna kekuasaan air, merah warna kekuasaan api, dan jernih adalah warna kekuasaan angin. Oleh itu hitam adalah warna total yg meliputi 4 perkara asas” -sahabat.
    bukankah hasilan-hasilan campuran ini telah menjadi tunjang kepada kesinambungan keseluruhan percampuran genetik yang telah dipelopori olehmu, kehidupan campuran jenis apakah yang diamnya di tempat mana yang mempunyai akan keseluruhan campuran-campuran ini? bukankah dikau juga telah memulakannnya?
    maka inilah sebenarnya yang telah menjadi rahasia-rahasia yang tidak mahu diketahui akan mereka oleh dirimu, dan dengan dengan sebab itulah perkataan diawalan permulaan sebutan, apabila dikau telah mengetahui akan hal ini, ‘maka akan bersegeralah dikau kembali kepada nama dan warna agung itu’.
    dear tun,
    salam takziah kepada seluruh keluarga allahyarhamah kekanda tun yang telah kembali ke rahmatullah, Al-Fatihah.
    salam sayang kepada tun mahathir mohamad dan tun siti hasmah with tender loving care, and i know that your lovely peaceful love is always there with you, smiling, sitting next to you. 🙂
    salam hormat,
    salam penuh kasih sayang,

  72. assalamaualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
    salam hormat tun yang dikasehi, salam hormat penyu menangis dan salam hormat semuanya,
    saudara kami yang kami kasehi, sang ‘penyu menangis’,
    apalah yang digundah dikisah pada warna atau nama panggilan, nama ‘si hitam’ atau warnanya ‘hitam’ jikalau ia pengetahuan tentang itu sudah melewati luas pelosok minda pengetahuanmu, maka akan bersegeralah dikau kembali kepada nama dan warna agung itu,
    sesungguhnya pada kesemua nama yang tercatat didalam pensejarahan kepulauan melayu tersangatlah banyaknya untuk dipelopori sehingga tidak terhitungkan sampai hari ini,
    sebutan kata nama ‘hitam’ sangatlah sinonim dengan nama ‘panglima hitam’, awang hitam, panglima awang hitam dan sehinnga sampailah kepada KD Panglima Hitam,
    ketahuilah olehmu akan kepada hasilan percampuran segala warna-warna asas yang utama itulah yang telah menjadikan hitam itu sendiri sebagai warna keseluruhan bagi segala warna atau dengan sebutan lain sebagai ‘warna total’.
    “hitam adalah warna yg diasaskan daripada campuran 4 warna asas “prime colour” iaitu kuning, biru, merah dan jernih. Kuning adalah warna kekuasaan tanah, biru adalah warna kekuasaan air, merah warna kekuasaan api, dan jernih adalah warna kekuasaan angin. Oleh itu hitam adalah warna total yg meliputi 4 perkara asas” -sahabat.
    bukankah hasilan-hasilan campuran ini telah menjadi tunjang kepada kesinambungan keseluruhan percampuran genetik yang telah dipelopori olehmu, kehidupan campuran jenis apakah yang diamnya di tempat mana yang mempunyai akan keseluruhan campuran-campuran ini? bukankah dikau juga telah memulakannnya?
    maka inilah sebenarnya yang telah menjadi rahasia-rahasia yang tidak mahu diketahui akan mereka oleh dirimu, dan dengan dengan sebab itulah perkataan diawalan permulaan sebutan, apabila dikau telah mengetahui akan hal ini, ‘maka akan bersegeralah dikau kembali kepada nama dan warna agung itu’.
    dear tun,
    salam takziah kepada seluruh keluarga allahyarhamah kekanda tun yang telah kembali ke rahmatullah, Al-Fatihah.
    salam sayang kepada tun mahathir mohamad dan tun siti hasmah with tender loving care, and i know that your lovely peaceful love is always there with you, smiling, sitting next to you. 🙂
    salam hormat,
    salam penuh kasih sayang,

  73. askm Tun,
    nak komen tentang intermarriage.
    sebenarnya banyak kaum wanita bukan melayu sangat tertarik nak kahwin ngan lelaki melayu nih.. tetapi apa yang diorang takut adalah jika ade apa2 masaalah perkahwinan atau bila pasangan melayu telah meninggal diorang takut jika bertukar agama balik akan menimbulkan masaalah… diorang melihat perkara agama nih hanya sebagai pakaian je..
    belum lagi jumpa pasangan sesama baya dan kedudukan sosial yang biasa…. hanya jumpa jika pasangan melayu adalah ‘somebody’ je…hahahaha…

  74. Ayahanda Tun yang di hormati.
    Takziah atas permergian kekanda Tun & seisi keluarga.
    Dengan Izin.
    Saya amat setuju dengan pendapat Sdr PenyuMenagis . Saya pun nampak seperti Sdr PenyuMenagis yang ada ‘conflict with society’. Semoga coretan beliau dibaca oleh Dr MAZA, bekas Mufti Perlis.
    Terima kasih Tun.

  75. Assalamualaikum,
    Susah sangatkah bagi semua pejuang Melayu untuk menunjukkan imej Islam yang sebenar? Memperjuangkan hak keistimewaan Melayu telah mengabaikan kita daripada menyebarkan syiar Islam. Mereka beranggapan apabila Melayu kukuh, maka Islam akan kukuh. Ini maksudnya memaksa. Islam itu sendiri perlu ditonjolkan sebagai agama yang memperjuangkan kesamarataan. Ingatlah, setiap manusia yang dicipta Allah s.w.t. adalah hakNya. Siapakah kita yang hendak menidakkan mereka daripada hidup didunia dan negara ini?
    ikhlas,

  76. Dear Tun, salam Ramadan selamat berpuasa harap sihat. Saya ucap takziah di atas pemergian kakak Tun tempoh hari ke pangkuan Tuhan (maaf terlewat).
    Kiriman saya untuk tajuk ini.
    ……………….TRUE COLOURS
    A former PM before becoming PM has to tolerate minorities, when he was PM accepts minorities and even praise them, after retiring he criticisizes (condemn?) them with visible contempt. Why? He refers to them by name not behaviour, does not even qualify his words implying the belief the words apply to majority of that race.
    It would have been better if he had said the words in this blog in Parliament when he was PM. We can then judge if the rakyat accept his stand. He had 22yrs to tell M’sians but chose to tell after 2 yrs blogging. You judge the blogging PM speaks the same language as in Parliament for 22yrs? I think it is the minorities that changed, not him?
    Race is a pet topic and many ugly comments are released. Maybe this is to show anger cos they are agitated in the first place. Is it right to let and condone your home crowd to be hostile to opponents who score a goal against you? We need two wrongs to make a right?
    ………………SEIRING DUA HALA
    Dua pemimpin Umno dulu seiring sejalan. Melalui 1969 bersama. Satu pengasas DEB satu pelaksana DEB. Thn 1987 perpisahan, dua harimau rebut satu bukit. Thn 2009 dah jadi mcm langit dan bumi, seiring tapi dua hala. Satu Melayu asli satu Melayu campur.
    Ku Li kata zaman dah berubah, DEB dasar lapuk dah ditelan zaman atau dimamah Umno. Mantan PM kata taman masih belum berubah, DEB keperluan zaman skrg, Umno bersih putih untuk amanah ini. We need to check the power of their eye lenses?
    Ramai yg selamba saja kata keadaan belum berubah selepas 40 thn. Tiada tanggungjawab, tiada insaf, tiada hukuman untuk berbilion wang yg lesap? Tapi barang sendiri hilang maki polis kalau tak dapat cari.
    ………………LAWAN API DGN API
    Setelah baca ‘lampu basikal’ on September 2, 2009 10:02 AM di dapati ramai yg menuduh kaum lain perkauman. Tapi mulut sendiri tak henti bisik kaumnya untuk buat sama. Dia kutuk perbuatan salah dia ajar kaum sendiri ikut buat salah. Melawan perkauman dgn jadi lebih perkauman? Melawan api dgn api. Agama mana yg ajar ini?
    Anjurlah undang undang anti perkauman atau cara baik.
    Dari tulisan PenyuMenagis, ada ‘Melayu’ sebenarnya berdarah Cina. Jaga jaga mencaci bangsa lain, mungkin memaki nenek moyang sendiri!
    ……………..MENGGONDOL EKONOMI
    Ini pandangan pada tuduhan membolot ekonomi. Kaum 6 juta kuasai ekonomi 6 juta orang sendiri menggugat Melayu? Kalau ekonomi ini lebih rancak dari ekonomi 15juta Melayu salah mrk? Sedarlah 24% ini mengusai ekonomi mrk sendiri bukan seluruh negara.
    Melayu di Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu setiap negeri lebih dari Cina di P. Pinang. Salah Cina P. Pinang ekonomi mrk lebih rancak walau jumlah kurang dan tanah lebih kecil ? Sawah, ladang, hutan, gunung, sungai pun tak ada. Berapa ekonomi Melayu yg dibolot oleh minoriti di 3 negeri ini?
    Kaum lain tak heboh ekonomi Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu (semua 5.2juta) di kuasai 100% Melayu. Negeri ini dekat 40% jumlah Melayu M’sia. Warga Kelantan (2.1juta) lebih jumlah dari WP (1.9juta). Mcm mana Cina gondol ekonomi 5.2juta Melayu di negeri ini?
    Shah Alam, Putrajaya bandar Melayu baru tak lebih maju pun dari KB, AS (kecuali bangunan krjn)? Tapi dia dengki kedai orang di Kepong, Cheras? Salah kaum minoriti perkauman Shah Alam, Putrajaya jadi begitu? Menuduh buta, tak nampak bandar majmuk lebih maju dari bandar sebangsa.
    Nak faham lebih tentang kuasa ekonomi boleh baca ‘Kaki Dalam Kasut’ July 23, 2009 1:37 AM.

  77. Bangsa melayu semakin tersepit didalam negara sendiri. Whether we like it or not, hanya dua perkara yang boleh menyelamatkan bangsa melayu dan bumiputra daripada menjadi kuli didalam negara sendiri, iaitu: Pengekalan kuasa politik negara didalam tangan orang melayu DAN pengekalan NEP.

  78. “6. The only way to satisfy the critics is to ensure that no Malay be allowed to become rich. If we do that then the disparity between Malays and non-Malays would remain or get worse. If that happens then the anger and bitterness of the Malays would render this country unstable.” (Tun Dr. Mahathir)
    Tun,
    The ancestors of many non-Malay Malaysians came to Malaysia (the then Malaya) with empty-handedness (perhaps carrying with them a few pieces of clothes and several ten dollars for paying the foods and ship fares). People like the late Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong of Genting Highland and the late philanthropist Tan Sri Lee Yan Lian from Kuala Lumpur were never being spoon-fed with many lucrative money-making business opportunities in the then Malaya and the now Malaysia. They lived a highly thrifty lifestyle and found the business opportunities themselves!
    What the Malays really need is not NEP but a mental revolution for them to work hard and control their daily spending and not be wollowing themselves in the prejudiced thinking of being deprived by other ethnic groups and not be allowing themselves to be influenced by the devilish attack of “anger and bitterness” when they are to fail in their business endeavours. Didn’t your sister-in-law of Chinese origin reflect to you the high moral values of endurance, persistence and perseverance throughout her everyday life, Tun? These high moral values are the sole secret for a long-lasting success in all business endeavours!

  79. Salam Tun Dr M,
    Assalamu’alaikum.
    Yes, the Petronas advertisement about “Tan Hon Ming” love story with a Malay girl created by the late Puan Yasmin Ahmad looks and sound like me and your good article on PenyuMenagis.
    Unfortunately, today our Master BN warlords and bad politicians keep playing the racist sandiwara politics and also incite hatred among Malaysians for their own political gains. If the BN goons have similar brains like Tun Dr M and late Yasmin Ahmad, then Malaysians are more prosperous, harmony and peaceful nation with strong stable political environment now.
    Let looks at the goodness of NEP policies have created a small minority of elite super rich Malays and non-Malays tycoons, cronies and politicians as well as NEP policies have destroyed the majority of poor income Malaysians in Malaysia today.
    To proof my noble statement above to Tun Dr M on my true confession here. Please read my declaration in good faith below:-
    I am a Kedahan, Bumiputra Malay and my dad was a good Malay policeman and my mum was a noble Chinese doctor. They got married out of pure love and “tak kira pangkat, agama and kaum”.
    Now I was a retired qualified Senior Civil Engineer worked past 30 years in JKR and so called a fixed income civil servant. In 1973, I started worked as a Civil Engineer with a basic salary of RM1,000. With such a comfortable salary, I can buy a 1.3 ltr Nissan car at RM7,000 and a double storey house at RM45,000 in Bangsar, KL. My chinese wife was a fulltime doctor serving Malay communities in her clinic and she took care of my 5 children education and welfare until they graduated in many foreign universities under my borrowed study loans and overseas scholarships from my smart kids.
    I saw a lot of elite rich Malays, UMNO politicians and connected Malay cronies in civil services benefited from NEP policies by many unethical manners like corruptions, greeds, lazy working, too much office politics, abused power, injustice toward other races and depend on tongkat ali contracts, etc. I have no regret for non-joining UMNO cronies to become super greedy rich because I’m richer in my morality and blessed by Allah s.w.t for his Almighty Islamic teachings. My wife was forced to convert Islam because she married a Islam husband but I silently let her to pray for her own faith in her own heart for past many years. Yet we can live happily because our family members are well protected by Allah and her faith god.
    Today, my eldest son is a qualified Engineer from Oxford University and he gained full scholarship based on his good A level result without any financial assistance from JPA or BN connection. Unfortunately, he cried foul because he started with a basic salary of RM2,000 as a Trainee Engineer and he cannot even afford to buy a 1.3 liter Nissan car valued RM80,000 and he dares not dream of buying a double storey house of min RM300,000 above in KL.
    My children cried out loud to me about NEP policies and other Malay quotas really cannot help the middle income and poor Malays but the policies caused severe inflation and depreciation RM currency. I am loosing my other 4 children who decided to work and stayed in foreign countries like UK, Australia, China and NZ because of higher income, good education system, better cost of living, no racial tension, religion freedom, no corruption, no abuse power, CAT govt system and their respected world PMs.
    Tun Dr M, please tell me what is wrong with Malaysia today after 52 years Merdeka, Malaysians are moving backward when other poorer countries like China and India are moving forward to achieve develop nations. Can new PM, Najib can lead to move forward with 1Malaysia mind when his UMNO warlords prefer to move backward to reject your Vision 2020 ?
    Please explain to all Malaysians in your next SOUND BITES.
    Ribuan Terima-Kasih.
    Selamat Berpuasa, Semoga ALLAH bless you forever.
    Sekian,
    Snr Ir. Abd Rahman Mohammad & Dr Suzie Wong Abdullah

  80. Penyu menangis,
    The post is too nostalgic to be objective enough.
    And he gives examples of his family rather than social facts.
    On how his family lives a good life in singapore.
    These put severe loopholes in his arguements.
    But even if we play along with his isolated examples,
    Well, yes, some malays may live a good life in singapore, but under total chinese rule doesn’t it? As if he is suggesting that malaysia should be the same. At least now there is a mixture of races in the admin of malaysia. But of course, even then, the economic sector has been totally knocked out of balance by the chinese population. Now, admin too?
    Yes total meritocracy may speed up the Nations developments, but at the expence of social balance.
    The distruption of social balance will drive the country unstable in the long run. More riots will happen. There will be multiple 13 May events. In the end, what we tried to achieve by introducing total meritocracy will fail to serve it’s purpose. Instead, we will have a blunderous nation to live in. So, why don’t we stick to the status quo, and fix where ever neccesary.
    Thats why i agree the NEP should be revised to cover some flaws (ntg is perfect). But Not to be liberalised too drastically towards meritocracy.

  82. Dear Tun,
    I think Malaysia will slowly be “colonized” again but in a different form, not like the past where foreigners come to take away our wealth and rights. This new colonizing I am referring to is about the Malaysian’s inability to work as one nation and fast eroding our ability to defend ourselves against challenging global changes. Meaning, there are no “foreign” army to come and control us but in the next few years Malaysians will be surrendering this beautiful nation to any “world bidders” coming from any countries who wish to take our wealth. I measure “our strength” by the values Malaysians today are adhering to presently. We are fast working for “ourselves” and not for the country anymore. Good values are generally gone, more so with our young generations. The best leaders of degrading values are portrayed by our own politicians (both BN and Pakatan), what are they trying to teach the rakyat by their actions.
    I do not have a perfect solution but I would propose the following:- WORK HARD ON UNITY, GET ALL MALAYSIANS TO WORK ON COMMON AGENDA,CAMPAIGN CONTINUOUSLY ON GOOD ETHICS. This advice is for all Malaysians and not just the present government. Malaysians must start acting and playing positive roles in our society. The first few signs of any hopeful changes will be in the time malaysians are willing to spend in gotong royong or similar community work.
    Thank you

  83. Salam Sejahtera Ybhg Tun,
    Salam takziah keatas pemergian kakanda Ybhg Tun ke Rahmat Allah.
    Merujuk kepada komentar penyumenangis, saya mengambil kesempatan menyatakan satu kisah sejarah dizaman pemerintahan Khalifah Islam Raja Nuruddin di Baghdad. Beliau telah tergesa ke Madinah kerana sering bermimpi bertemu Rasullulah S.A.W memohon menyelamatkan Baginda S.A.W daripada dua orang lelaki.
    Ketika di Madinah, Raja Nuruddin telah bertemu dgn dua orang lelaki tersebut yang sama seperti didalam mimpinya. Mengikut kata orang tempatan Madinah, kedua2 orang lelaki tersebut adalah sangat warak, alim, petah didalam ugama Islam, sentiasa berjemaah di masjid, suka bersedekah, mempunyai wajah yang bersih dan lain2 ciri keislamannya.
    Akhirnya Raja Nuruddin telah membongkar rahsia kedua2 lelaki tersebut adalah Yahudi Maghribi yang ditugaskan menggali terowong ke makam Rasulullah S.A W bagi tujuan mencuri jasad Rasulullah S.A.W. Kedua2 lelaki tersebut telah dipancung serta merta.

  84. Assalamualikum YAB Tun, semoga di rahmati Allah, Izinkan saya menjampok sedikit YAB TUN. Tahniah RASID for speaking out loud, that
    was a good one, and I hope these so called young Malay intellectuals
    will realize how foolish they are to suggest for the abolishment of Malay rights and the NEP. These guys only think of themselves, What about the younger generation Malays. Do they really believe that they can compete with the more economically advanced Chinese and Indians? We are 50 years behind them in all respect.When can you catch up with them, if we have people like this good for nothing so called young Malay intellectuals who cant even see the future.Wake up you guys , How many Malay professional are there now compared to them? How many Tycoons? How many rich businessmen? who controls the Malaysian economy? who own the shopping complexes , hotels, resorts golf clubs casinos night club, bars, massage parlors, brothels,DVD haram, Ahlong, who are the smugglers of drugs, rice sugar oils etc etc. Come on la budak Melayu, OPEN up your eyes can you compete with them.? If the Malays do not improve themselves by being always on top of everything, you might end up as beggars in your own country. May Allah forbids that. Wassalamualikum.

    Once in a while, we see one of the clowns from a circus tent of Malaysia, coming out with a cock and bull story, just to entertain the deaf and the blind.
    Penyumenagis, we thank you for your long-winded reply that contains no substance relevant to the future well-being of Malaysia and Malaysians, whether they are the Malays, Chinese or Indians. There are many like you who profess the ideology of the British and comrades of

  86. Assalamualaikum,
    Kepada Tun sekeluarga yang dihormati,
    Saya ada beberapa cadangan supaya orang2 Melayu dapat bangkit dan menjadi bangsa yang dihormati!Pertama,orang2 Melayu harus menjadikan Islam sebagai pegangan utama kehidupan seharian bukan sebagai adat semata-mata.Islam perlu dihayati sepenuhnya dari segi akidah yakin hanya sepenuhnya kepada Allah S.W.T dan amal ibadat mengikut sunnah Nabi S.A.W.Yakni menunaikan solat berjemaah 5 waktu di surau atau masjid.Kedua,orang Melayu harus kembali kepada adat dan tradisi.Sesungguhnya orang2 Melayu kaya dengan adat2 yang menjurus kepada kebaikan.Jika orang2 Melayu dapat menghayati sepenuhnya kedua2 cara ini,dalam tempoh 5 tahun orang Melayu dapat bangkit dan seterusnya menjadi bangsa yang dihormati!

    takziah diatas pemergian kekanda tun yang kembali kerahmatullah baru-baru ini. semoga rohnya ditempatkan kedalam golongan yang salih. amin

  88. Dear Tun Dr M,
    Lately, there have been protests in Indonesia against certain decisions and events in Malaysia. The latest is the accusation that “Malaysia’s National Anthem has been copied from an Indonesian tune”. Even if it is true, it is something to be proud of and not to be protested by the Indonesian side.
    The Indonesian government says that the protests were the views of minority group in Indonesia and not that of the Indonesian government However, the frequency of protests against Malaysia by Indonesians indicate that they are actually thinking that we desperately need the Indonesians especially for hard labor and as maids.
    No doubt, the above is true to a certain extent but it should be interpreted that Malaysia is giving employment to the citizens of Indonesia if they are willing to work here and give huge foreign exchange to Indonesia. It is a well known fact Indonisians rank no 1 in terms of no of foreign workers in Malaysia (The Bangladeshi

  92. Hi Tuan Tun Dr Mahatir yang mulia lagi terhormat
    I am referring to the article (Sept 2, 2009, 3.55pm) by our good but unfriendly-friend ‘Baiyuensheng’ who discovered that a Chinese girl got married to a man and her father-in-law is a racist. Surprisingly, this gentleman is still living in a racist country and yet still calls it

  93. Dengan Izin Tun..Terima kasih..
    Penyumenagis
    Forgive me.It’s my duty to again tries to appeal to your reason.
    [[price one has to pay for being truthful as truth always hurts]]
    Do you?..Do you really being truthful?..Then you will not mind my hurting a bit.
    “Seorang mukmin bagi seorang mukmin itu satu binaan yang sebahagiannya menguatkan sebahagian dan orang Islam itu seperti satu badan jika sakit matanya sakitlah sekaliannya dan jika sakit kepalanya sakitlah sekaliannya.”
    Meaning: the muslim in Palestinian is terroribly brutalized by Israel.Prior to that there is Southern Thai,Southern Philipine and all over the world.
    Now..Do you feel their pain?
    I don’t believe you do.I senses that you feels detached.Why?..You allowed Hanan rampaged in Tun blogs with his version of truth and yet you remain silent.In Islam we called this “Syaitan Bisu”..There is Hadith on this.Look..and you will find.Again..why?

  95. Assalamualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,
    1. Saya mahu Tun beralih ke topik Najis Dadah.
    2. Saya rasa penglibatan kerajaan terhadap penghapusan najis dadah tidak ke tahap yang sepatutnya boleh dilakukan. Macam melepaskan batuk ditangga.
    3. Ahli politik memang kurang berminat dengan isu ini, tak pernah terdengar penghapusan najis dadah dijadikan modal berpolitik walau dari parti manapun.
    4. Masih tidak nampakkah kesan serius penggunaan dadah ini?
    5. Tidak adakah cara nak memerangi dadah ini secara total dan habis-habisan.
    6. Tiada bekalan, tiada penagih, tiada masalah sosial yg banyak berpunca dari dadah ini.
    7. Kelmarin Adik Adam mati ditikam oleh bapa saudaranya yang juga penagih tegar, tidak sempat beraya dengan baju baru yang telah dibeli, beberapa kes jenayah sangat banyak telah dilakukan penagih tetapi tindakan kerajaan hanya seolah-olah ianya seperti kes terpencil sahaja.
    8. Saya ada abang, Shukor namanya, penagih tegar, isteri dah lari setelah berkahwin 18 tahun, ada 3 org anak, yang sulung akan hadapi SPM dengan keadaan tiada ibu disisi, bapa tetap menagih, adik-adik perlu dijaga, adik bongsu berusia 4 tahun menangis teringatkan ibu yang lari meninggalkan mereka, dijaga oleh ibubapa saya yg telah memasuki usia warga emas di Kg Huma, Tanjung Dawai. Kedah.Dan apakah ertinya Hari Raya kepada mereka dlm keadaan begini?
    9. Siapa yang peduli? Ramai lagi penagih disitu..yang dah mati pun tak terkira..
    10. Cuma saya amat risau berlakunya apa yang berlaku kepada Adik Adam mungkin berlaku lagi, masuk paper, semua orang sedih kasihan tapi apakah penyelesaiannya?
    11. Abang saya dah 2 kali ke Pusat Serenti. Kalau masuk Universiti kiranya dah dapat Degree, beberapa kali ditangkap dan dilepaskan semula, kembali merayau, tiada langsung tanggungjawab..dan masih bebas menagih!
    12. Tun yang amat saya hormati, saya harap Tun dapat mengupas isu ini dengan lebih mendalam kerana pada saya pandangan Tun biasanya diberi perhatian serius oleh banyak pihak. Kerana dengan itu saya rasa Tun dapat menyelamatkan banyak nyawa-nyawa insan yang tak berdosa sepertimana Tun berjuang untuk menganggap perang sebagai jenayah. Semoga Alah berkati Tun dengan jasa baik Tun. Wassalam.

  99. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menyambut bulan bulan ramadhan kepada Tun. Semoga Tun sihat sentiasa..
    Pada bulan yang mulia ini, saya ingin menyentuh sedikit mengenai 1Malaysia. Pada pandangan saya yang masih mentah ini, konsep 1Malaysia yang diperjuangkan kini hanya pada dasarnya sahaja menarik sedangkan sifat perkauman sebenarnya masih tebal dan membara-bara. “keikhlasan” daripada pihak-pihak terlibat masih boleh dipersoalkan. Di mulut lain, di hati lain.
    pihak-pihak terlibat seringkali menuduh masing-masing racist dalam isu-isu sensitif. Kadang-kadang di dalam menyuarakan pandangan, mereka terlupa batas-batas tertentu. Siapa yang racist sebenarnya?
    Akhir kata, samaada konsep 1Malaysia berjaya atau tidak, yang paling utama ialah agar negara yang Satu ini tidak menjadi seperti Singapura, Palestine dan/atau puak red indian.
    Soalan : Apakah pandangan Tun mengenai demonstrasi dan “kepala lembu” yang berlaku di Shah Alam?Siapakah yang bersalah dan siapa yang harus dipersalahkan.

  100. Tun, I come from mixed parentage. My dad is…. well, paternal grandmother is a Chinese…. like as if you don’t know.
    Pple call me many names, even now, aiskrim, bruce lee….still..eventually I’m still a malay…and I don’t care what my race is…as long it come to I AM A MUSLIM.
    NEP, BEP, CEP…whatever P….I just don’t care less…. for it just helps…and if it did….alhamdullilah….else, live on..carry on…for we still have a life to complete.
    Living in the UK for past 15 yrs taught me INDEPENDENCE IS SOMETHING YOU DON’T TAKE FOR GRANTED. FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE and the Right to Believe in your own faith is something we should care more. Politics… i don’t really bother who is in power…just as my core Malay and MUSLIM values are being protected.
    Malaysia…brunei and even Singapore does a good job at that.

  101. Tahniah Kamal Ahmad,
    Semoga ramai lagi orang seperti anda dalam Pemuda UMNO. Berjuang dengan ikhlas untuk rakyat. Tiada kepentingan lain selain semangat perjuangan. Teruskan perjuangan dalam UMNO kerana UMNO amat ketandusan orang seperti anda dan UMNO amat memerlukan orang seperti anda pada masa ini.

  102. Dear Tun Dr Mahathir,
    My condolences with sincerity to your sister.

    Dear priss01,
    Many of us got it and we knew what happened. If Mr priss01 can put yourself in the shoes of Police and MACC, I am sure you will do what these departments are doing, moreover they follow rules and regulations of Malaysia.
    The reason rakyat choose opposition party was out of frustration. I am sure in the next PRU 13, rakyat will vote BN again because we do not want want “un-regulated” Western Values. I sincerely hope that PM Najib and his cabinets wil
    show us the way out to “Keamanan & Kemenangan” in PRU 13 because We Forgive and We Learn.
    SATU BANGSA, SATU BAHASA, SATU MALAYSIA can be realised, When Government REGULATE, NOT CONTROL Social and Economy of 1Malaysia.
    Have a pleasant day, Tun Dr Mahathir.

  103. Salam YAB Tun berdua
    Saya ingin mengucapkan takziah buat Tun sekelurga diatas kehilangan kakak tercinta.
    Dari Allah kita datang, kepada Allah kita kembali.
    Al-Fatihah….
    Amin.

  104. Salam Tun,
    Saya nak ucapkan takziah atas kembalinya kakak Tun ke rahmat Allah. Semoga rohnya aman dan sentiasa dalam rahmat Allah, Amin

  105. Siapa Dato’ Kamaruddin Jaafar? apakah jasanya pada kaum melayu? saya memang tak kenal dia dan tak tahu jasa dia:
    1. Melemahkan institusi raja-raja Melayu yang menjadi simbol ketuanan Melayu. –
    Raja-raja melayu masih berkuasa penuh keatas negeri masing-masing. Sekiranya baginda tidak memperkenankan sebarang perkara terutama berkaitan DUN, raja masih boleh dicabar tetapi pada had-had yang tertentu. Lainlah kalau dari pengkhianat yang biadap, bawah pokok pun jadi.
    2. Melemahkan sistem kehakiman negara. –
    sistem kehakiman sentiasa dikemaskini dari segi penggubalan rang undang2 dari masa kesemasa.
    3. Menarik balik royalti rakyat petroleum rakyat Terengganu yang majoriti orang Melayu. –
    Petronas telah berulang kali menyatakan royalti ini bukan bersifat permanent. Adakah apabila bekalan minyak sudah habis nanti, royalti masih dituntut? Petronas mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk menyara seluruh Malaysia, bukan setakat Tganu sahaja.
    4. Memperkenalkan PPSMI; menghapuskan bahasa Melayu. –
    berapa byk mahasiswa melayu yang betul betul berjaya dan adakah bahasa melayu sudah hilang lenyap dari dunia ini.
    5. Menarik peruntukan geran kepada Sekolah Agama Rakyat, tempat belajar agama anak-anak Melayu. –
    Bukan semua geran ditarik balik sebaliknya dengan penyerapan sek agama ke aliran perdana lebih byk menghasilkan cerdik pandai berbanding dahulu. Pencapaian dari segi akademik jauh lebih cemerlang.
    6. Memperkenalkan meritrokrasi; mengurangkan peluang belajar anak-anak Melayu. –
    Ini adalah untuk kebaikan melayu juga, sampai bila perlu berbangga dengan quota sahaja. Perlu berusaha bagi memenuhi merit yang sepatutnya.
    7. Memperkenalkan PTPTN dan mengurangkan biasiswa kepada anak-anak Melayu. –
    Melayu tak sudah-sudah digelar masyarakat subsidi, tak malu kah? kalau melayu rajin usaha, tak perlu subsidi dan biasiswa. Saya dan ramai kawan2 lain dapat ijazah, satu sen pun tak pinjam PTPTN. Kami kerja, kami belajar.
    8. Persempadanan semula pilihanraya oada 2002; mengurangkan kawasan majoriti orang Melayu. –
    Jika melayu porak-poranda, melayu juga yang rugi. Kurang kawasan majoriti tak mengapa tetapi jika kurang perpaduan dan penyatuan, melayu akan punah ranah.
    9. Menafikan hak royalti rakyat Kelantan yang majoriti Melayu. –
    Royalti hilang nampak, peruntukkan tahunan yang jauh lebih banyak tak nampak? Bagaimana pula dengan keengganan kerajaan negeri bekerja sama dengan pusat hanya disebabkan ideologi? Kalau diberikan sekalipun, adakah setiap seorang rakyat Kelantan akan mendapat wang tersebut?
    10.Memperkenalkan Islam Hadhari yang mengelirukan orang Melayu.
    Melayu byk yang bentul, Islam hadhari bukan islam baru tetapi menyegarkan islam yang sedia ada agar tidak “melayu” bersama melayu yang layu.
    11.Menyenaraiawamkan syarikat TH Plantation yang dahulunya dimiliki 100% oleh Tabung Haji dan dimiliki oleh orang Melayu. Tetapi sekarang orang bukan Melayu boleh memiliki saham TH Plantation. –
    Tujuan utama adalah untuk menyuntik modal kedalam syarikat bagi memajukkannya agar lebih berdaya saing. Orang melayu tak ramai yang mampu dan ada tidak mahu bersama2 membantu kerana takut tidak balik modal dan skeptical sesama melayu. Terlalu banyak prasangka dan mudah termakan hasutan/propaganda.
    12.Menggabungkan syarikat-syarikat konglomerat orang Melayu iaitu; Sime Darby,Guthrie dan Golden Hope, dan sekaligus mengurangkan peluang orang Melayu daripada tiga syarikat kepada satu syarikat sahaja. –
    Lagi lebih kepada kepentingan ekonomi bagi menghadapi persaingan. Dengan penyatuan 3 gergasi, aliran tunai akan lebih mantap. Tetapi melayu masih sempit fikiran, terlalu skeptikal dan prejudis. Peluang melayu masih luas tetapi dipandang sebelah mata hanya kerana malas berusaha.
    13.Memetik kenyataan Mufti Perak, Dato’ Harussani Zakaria ? 250 ribu orang Melayu murtad. Semua ini adalah di bawah pemerintahan kerajaan Umno. –
    Sepanjang 52 tahun mana ada kerajaan lain selain BN diMalaysia ni? Jadi semuanya bolehlah ditudingkan kepada BN sahaja. Ini tidak adil. Murtad adalah fenomena universal bukan hanya tertakluk kepada kerajaan BN. Melayu masih sempit fikiran. Mungkin tak ada kotak langsung sebab itu tak mampu berfikir keluar kotak. Bab murtad ini sensitif tp antara sebab musababnya (dari bacaan saya)antaranya:
    i.kemiskinan – sebab itu islam menyuruh kita mencari harta.
    ii. lemah iman – sebab itu islam menyarankan kita mencari ilmu bagi mengukuhkan keimanan.
    iii. kufur dengan ni’mat tuhan – sebab itu tuhan suruh kita bersederhana. dan banyak lagi.
    14.Mewujudkan Wilayah Iskandar yang menjadi zon bebas, maka orang-orang Singapura boleh masuk secara bebas ke sana.
    Sekali lagi disebabkan terlalu manja dan perangai masyarakat subsidi, melayu tidak mampu menjadi masyarakat penyumbang. Dalam hal ini jangan salahkan kerajaan semata-mata jika orang asing boleh kaya-raya ditanah air kita. Dimana usaha kita sebagai anak watan bumi ini? Kalau tak mahu orang luar masuk, melayu masuk cepat-cepat. Sesungguhnya kita telah banyak buang masa sejak merdeka. Cina dan india yang dulu dibelakang kita, sudah jauh meninggalkan kita.
    15.Krisis Menteri Besar di Perlis dan Terengganu apabila Umno sendiri yang menentang keputusan Sultan di negeri berkenaan.
    Adakah pernah didengari bahasa-bahasa kesat atau mencabar dikeluarkan seperti mana orang-orang PR? Adakah MB perlis dan Tganu menyatakan yang mereka mahu mencabar sultan sehingga kemahkamah? Mereka masih beradab melayu, menghadap sultan dan berbincang secara diplomasi dan paling penting, tidak KURANG AJAR.
    16.Membubarkan Kementerian Pembangunan Usahawan yang menjadi sumber bantuan usahawan-usahawan Melayu.
    Sudah jemu, tak habis-habis dengan kes masyarakat subsidi. Tuhan menaburkan rezekiNya kepada semua makhluk tanpa pilih kasih. Terserah kepada kita menentukan tahap kekayaan kita, rajin=kaya, malas=papa.
    17.Memperkenalkan liberalisasi ekonomi, maka sekaligus menghapuskan Dasar Ekonomi Baru yang tujuannya membantu ekonomi orang-orang Melayu Bumiputra.
    Lambat-laun, kita perlu akur dengan perkembangan sekeliling kita. Pro liberalisali ialah melayu tidak boleh tidak, mesti bangun berusaha dan merebut segala peluang seumpana esok sudah tiada. Kon pula, melayu akan jadi kunta-kinti dibumi sendiri dek kerana kemalasan.
    Ok, rumusan yang boleh dibuat disini ialah:
    1. melayu masih ditakuk lama. Takuk yang di cipta oleh penjajah Enggeris. Masa sekolah dulu, subjek Sejarah ada dikatakan yang Enggeris hanya mahu orang melayu diajar supaya sama atau tidak lebih pandai dari bapanya. Kalau bapanya petani, dia cuma akan diajar menjadi petani dan kalau bapanya nelayan, dia cuma diajar menjadi nelayan. Lebih tak boleh, kurang tak apa.
    2. melayu lebih gemar meminta dari memberi. Penyakit malas melayu sudah diperingkat ke-4 (kritikal; kalau kanser, dah kena baca Yassin dah)Ingatlah bahawa tangan yang memberi lebih mulia walaupun 10 sen dari tangan yang menerima jutaan ringgit.
    3. kesedaran melayu terhadap jati diri makin luntur hanya kerana rasa bongkak dan ego dengan taraf ketuanan melayu dan bumiputra. Apalah maknanya tuan jika hidup merempat. Apakah istimewanya bumiputra jika bumi milik putra sudah tergadai.
    4. melayu pentingkan diri sendiri, tidak gemar membantu sesama melayu walaupun sanak saudara sendiri.
    sekian khidmat masyarakat dari saya. Just my 2 cents.
    budak rajin berfikir walau tak sekolah tinggi.
    wallahua’lam.

  106. dear Tun,
    Thanks for another article for us to share and ponder at least to keep us informed. Point no 2 made me think that it is a formula for any parents who want their children to succeed. Good upbringing of a child must include enviroment and education + discipline is the most potent. We do not need geniuses to be born because without the formula they do not worth much, even with good upbringing we are not sure they will be good leaders. And to be outstanding leader one has to be groomed and hardworking…do you agree Tun?
    I believe every child born is a genius regardless of race. It is the parents that shaped their future. Malaysians are lucky lot whereby the government provide opportunities especially to the bumis. If we parents can ponder on point no 2, our next generation can even dominate 70% of the NEP. Then maybe perhaps it is time to implement NEP for the non-bumis??
    Lastly, I would like to add that Islam has all the formula of good upbringing which include Compassion and Wisdom…many of today leaders lacked which Tun has aplenty….do you agree Tun??
    Anyway Selamat berpuasa to Tun and family and all readers.

  107. Assalammualaikum,
    Nak menyampok la jugak. Saya bukan sapa-sapa tapi saya ada mata. Saya tak pandai mana tapi saya ada akai. Selalu saya perati kelaku orang kita. Dari zaman omputih sampai la, cerita yang sama, PHD.
    Orang melayu ni suka jaki bila melayu lain lebih sikit. Sy tingat satu citer pasal ketam cina, ketam melayu dan ketam india yg diletakkan dalam 3 bakoi yg berasingan tapi sebelom tu, NI BUKAN CRITA RACIST nah. Dalam bakoi ketam cina, ketam-ketam pakat dok tolak hang aku nak keluar dari bakoi. Dalam bakoi ketam melayu pon dok cari jalan nak keluaq jugak tapi dengan cara masing2, sekoq kot nu, sekoq kot ni, tak tulong langsung. Last sekali bakoi ketam india, apa jadi tang ni?.. bila ada ketam yg dah dekat nak buleh keluaq, ketam lain tarik bagi jatoh balik. Tu crita yang saya dengaq dari sorang apek tokey kedai kopi di kampong saya 15 taun dulu. Menariknya bila saya renung balik crita ni, ketam melayu dah tukaq perangai dengan ketam india. Bukan saja tak mau tulong-menolong tapi siap cari jalan pejatuh yang lain. Menarikkan??
    Orang kita ni cuma tau menyalahkan orang lain saja, depa tak mau tengok diri depa. Apa yang depa dah tulong? Habih2 pun depa kata apa kami buleh buat, kami tak dak kuasa. Apa punya bang***g punya melayu beng*p ni. Haa.. geram betoi aku…oppsss sorry Tun.
    Depa ni ada duit hengget tapi masih melehaq dok nganga minta bantuan. Kalau tak dapat, mula la krajaan zalim la, nepotisma la, kronisma la dll lah (nak pendek crita) The best part tu bila tanya balik apa benda nepotisma & kronisma yang depa dok kata tu, belambak yg tak tau nak jawab. Yang seronok tu, bila krajaan buka tawaran apa2, depa ni la yang p dulu. 4 pagi dah bekecanggok depan pintu opis. Dasar muka tak malu.
    Yang sereban meleret pun satu hai. Nak buat negara islam la konon tapi depa sniri tak nampak islam, apa crita? Cakap ikut hari. Hari ni nasyid, esok boria, lusa komersil pop … mmmm, dia tengok kawan kot (yang ni tak kira kroni pulak), penin la. Rasa macam nak suruh tok-tok ni jelen lidah, kot2 la ada cabang macam (sendri mau tau…) Bila ada yang murtad, orang nu salah, orang ni salah. Apa yang depa buat? Habok pun tarak… Kalau nak murtad, murtad jugak, tak tunggu krajaan mana pon, tetap murtad jugak. DiKlantan pun ingat kes laki bini mengaku openly kat mahkamah pulak tu kata depa kluaq islam. Apa orang islam kelantan buat? Yang ni depa celik sangat, yang diri sniri munafiq tak sedaq, bagi amanah tak leh pakai, becakap pulak kecoh lebih, harta orang depa punya, anak yatim bukan anak aku.
    Bila krajaan liberal sikit, depa melompat. Sebabnya? depa ni malas nak kerja, tu yang melompat macam berok tu. Bila DEB tak menyebelahi depa, depa kata tak baguih. Bila depa rasa DEB baguih kat depa, pulun tak mau-mau. Bukan nak kuaq pi kerja. Dok harap orang nak suap saja. Dasar baloq liat, penyegan. Tuhan letak rezeki tang mana2 saja. Tepi tong sampah, tepi longkang pun ada. Saya ada kenai sorang tokey kedai alat ganti yang famous di utara ni, orang india. Saya tanya macam mana dia mula meniaga. Dia kata apa tau? dia start masa dia 10 ~ 11 taun, kutip besi buruk belakang acaq orang saja. Tu dia, apa nak kata, tuhan bagi kalau kita ada usaha. Orang melayu ada ka yang sanggup? budak2 la kata ada branni? La ni depan rumah dia tu merendam 4 bijik BMW. Best part, walau pun bukan islam, dia byk bantu orang kita. Dia tak pilih sapa dia nak tulong. Bila tanya, dia kata dulu orang melayu byk tulong dia, bagi datok & bapak dia tumpang duduk tanah melayu.
    Melayu zaman pra merdeka adalah melayu yang rasional berbanding melayu pasca merdeka. Melayu la ni manja, alpa dan tak bersyukur ni’mat tuhan.
    Melayu tension kat melayu…
    Zulroth.

  108. Dear Tun!
    Paron me for being BLUNT but I must say that from the current PM downwards, I don’t see anyone fit to see Malaysia through to the year 2020! Unless and of course a MIRACLE and I mean it, A MIRACLE HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!
    GOD BLESS MALAYSIA!!!!!!!!!!!
    Das
    Ps. Tunku must be crying in his grave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  109. Salam Takziah Buat ayahanda Tun….
    Memang menarik kalau kahwin campur ni . Saya pernah mendengar ada org kata anak2 yg dilahirkan dari perkahwinan campur ni adalah lebih bijak kerana terdapat gabungan genetik…. Tapi tak tahulah kebenarannya. Yang pasti rupa paras mereka adalah begitu unik….
    Mcm tu la kdg2 saya tak faham … org melayu kita ni walaupun dizaman siber ni… kalau bak mengelar org tu cukup pandai. Kita kurang peka terhadap perasaan org yg digelar…Org melayu harus mengubah pemikiran mereka…
    Baru2 ni harga minyak naik… saya pun tak faham sgt… subsidi ni sepatutnya untuk org yg berpendapatan rendah terutamanya bagi mereka yg nerpendapatan di bawah gaji rm 2000 kebawah dan juga syarikat pengangkutan .. Jika kerajaan sekarang bijak mereka akan dapat mengurangkan belanjawan negara dengan memperkenalkan kad subsidi bagi mereka yg layak saja.Bukan subsidi minyak saja yg akan berkurangan malah lain2 subsidi pun akan dapat dikurangkan. Orang kaya biasanya memiliki kereta yg mewah dan kuasa kudanya tinggi. Jadi mereka menggunakan minyak yg lebih byk…. Jadi kerajaan perlu lebih bijak menggunakan duit rakyat..
    Diharap Tun sekeluarga redha diatas pemergian kakananda Tun yg tercinta…Al-Fatihah

  110. Asalamulaikum…salam takziah atas pemergian kakak bapak…
    semuga allahyarhamah di tempatkan bersama2 ngan org2 yg salih..aminamin….

  111. Assalamu’alaikum dan Selamat Sejahtera,
    Yang Berbahagia Tun Mahathir,
    dan Para Blogger yang dihormati,
    I am truly honored by your present post commenting on my previous entry in SOUND BITES (Hiroshima) By PenyuMenagis on August 12, 2009 11:17 AM
    My previous posting was controversial and sensitive and it may have upset many people on both sides (Malays and Non-Malays alike). But this is the price one has to pay for being truthful as truth always hurts. Hence I apologize for the transgression, but sometimes truth must be said. The constant argument between dichotomies of Malays and Non-Malays, Muslims and Non-Muslims and Malaysia and Singapore, while is a necessary evil for check and balance purposes, must have some outlet for sensibility when the pressure seems to get very high. I hope my comments provide this

  112. salam kasih Tun,
    Takziah atas pemergian kekanda Tun yg telah kembali ke rahmatullah.
    ——Al Fatihah——
    Satu je saya nak komen bab ni. Walau apa pun alasan mereka, tanah ini adalah selama-lamanya Tanah Melayu, Tanah Jawi. Milik orang Melayu, sebuah bangsa yang sangat sopan dan suka bertolak ansur, tidak pernah ada kiasu dalam hidup bangsa kami sebelum ini. Bukan tanah Cina atau India. Mereka sudah ada tanah sendiri, kenapa hendak merebut secebis yang menjadi milik kita??
    NEP is the only tool for the malays to use against these thieves.

  113. I have to agree with lampu basikal, what was said is real. Racial discrimination happens more often that the hated “hak melayu”, DEB or any sort of “special tag” for the malays.
    They wanted equality, but at the same time they wish to stick to the old way that preserve their rights to certain “unequal” advantages. Such claims that they are more liberal, is really irrelevant, holds up only by those who are unaware of the reality.
    If they really are not racist, why do there are so many discrimination on job application even?
    Why there is such thing as, “you must wear our colours, and language” in order to obtain the job.
    Why is there even racial discrimination in government Hospitals on certain malays? What do those innocents malay has done to not deserve the right for medication to some extend – death?
    What I could see with my bare eyes, – hypocrisy. They would bark loud if you touch theirs, but at the same time would, in any possible chance, take the opportunity to touch others.
    Last but not least, point to ponder – was there any chinese school in australia, new zealand, singapore, or the US even?
    What has the DEB, or any sort of those special tags done much to them? was it that it took so much out of their rights, that they was not able to produce millions due to economics monopoly?

  114. S..Tan
    thank you for your clarification in Tun’s Blog titled Merdeka – you’re both a very sensible and articulate person. I’m happy to have made your acquaintance”
    Tun
    I have one question to ask you sir…by converting one’s religion, isn’t it akin to converting one’s belief system…
    and if that belief system wasn’t flawed both by a person’s personality or values prior to conversion, wouldn’t it now be tainted by the fact they converted?
    What are your personal views of this religious conversion? Like to know more…
    (Ravi)

  115. Assalammualaikum, Tun Yang Amat Berbahagia semoga sehat sehat selalu insyallah. Izin kan saya menjampok sedikit. Point No.6 hit the nail on the head. I really cannot understand why these critics are so jealous of the Malays becoming rich or better than them.Havent they got enough? I think that they want the whole country to themselves and let the Malays go to hell, as whats happening in our neighbouring country.How many rich Malays are there, even after 52 years of Merdeka ,the Malays only own 20% of the economic cake, Who are the riches people in Malaysia. Who owns all the cities in Malaysia with all the high rise buildings, shopping complexes ,hotels condos, etc.Go around the shopping complexes and see how many Malays are doing business there? They are enjoying life in Malaysia, and yet whatever the govt. does to help the Malays, they become paranoid , kiasu,& dengki. Kenapa ?I am sure they like to see the Malays becoming like the orang asli of Australia, poor, sick, jobless and homeless in their own soil. They are the bumiputra and yet they are marginalised .in their own country.placed in resettlement areas.while the other races are filthy rich. The same thing in Hawaii, the natives are shaking their bums doing the hula hula dance for tourists while the Japanese, Chinese ,Koreans, and the Americans, are filthy rich, the same thing in America , look at the Red Indians,how many of them have ever become a senator or congressman . Who are the riches guys in America? not the Red Indians. Is it wrong if the Govt. wants to help the poorest Malays in the rural areas who are living from hands to mouth? That is why the NEP is still needed whether you. the critics like it or not, otherwise they will one day open their eyes and see the disparity, and God knows whats next.The Malays must be given more opportunities 5 times more than the others, INI BUKAN TAMAK. If you want the Malays to be at par with the other races, they must be given the chance to prove themselves At the moment we are not on equal playing fields, Its just like the kampong boys playing football with Manchester United.Look at the others they are making billions from illegal business, smuggling dadah, rice fire crackers, women, you name the illegal business they do them, making millions of DVD haram, vedio lucah, Along, etc etc. They are making billions of ringgit this way and they become rich and with these money they can control the country like the Mafia. The Malays who are small timers can only be their baruas, drug addicts, mat rempit bouncers etc. So I say Che Det we must contunue to help the Malays in all respect until such time that we can dance with them on a level floor, even if it takes another 100 years.They keep on advancing and we must be fast to catch up with them. Assalammualikum Tun semoga di rahmati Allah .THE DEB?NEP must go on if the Malays want to survive in their own country MALAYSIA

  116. Tun Dr Mahatir yang amat mulia lagi cerdik-pandai
    Very likely, PenyuMenagis loves and admires, seeing an engineered poodle sitting on someone

  117. Inilah nasib Melayu di bumi Melayu…we have to tolerate, sacrifice, accept everything that goes against us. Even if hindus want to build kuil near our house pun, we cannot say anything. If we talk, we will be called racist. Kalau non-Malay call us racist maybe still acceptable. Tapi Malay (especially dalam PAS) pun will call us racist (as long DAP support them they will say anything even things contrary to Islam). Benarlah kata Tun…Islam PAS adalah “Islam ala PAS” yang bersumberkan pendapat Lim Kit Siang dan Karpal Singh (plus Anwar Ibrahim), bukan Quran dan Sunnah.

  118. Definitely, NEP was really relevant for the past 50 years.
    Now, we should come up with something more constructive.
    We should first look upon what we need for nation building.
    We need intellectuals who are capable, not because of race.
    Elites are in much demand in our society, however, because of racial communalism, most of them prefer lucrative pay than patriotism
    In this information era, I suggest instead of incentive, why not we build more elite malay schools to nurture a new generation of elite malays?
    This will further help the nation towards and intellectual and knowledge based society
    The education policy has somehow too academically oriented
    Somehow, we should model some of our education policy with united states

  119. Didn’t know you have a Chinese daughter-in-law. Sorry for my outright remark, if I am the father of this daughter I will disown her straight away. Bet her father would be in deep shame for marrying her daughter away to such a racist family. The offspring will become more Malays and will forget their Chinese half. They will grow up and hellbent to give the non-Malay a hard time.
    The worst thing happening to me (after all these nonsense happening in my country, as well as your narrow mindedness view) is that I am becoming more and more like one – bloody racist myself. And I hate myself for it. I think I will have to shut myself from any news and think positive before it consume me.

  120. SALAM SEJAHTERA TO YAB TUN & FELLOW BLOGGERS
    Allow me to comment on PenyuMenagis’s nostalgic statements,
    ‘This is the Malay Dilemma as Tun M said in his famous book. Some non-Malays accuse the continuous implementation of NEP will enrich further a certain rich Malay quarter. I cannot deny this. But what is the alternative? I am all for a just society, but my own experience (in work place) to be under a Malaysian Chinese controlled proves them (the Chinese) capable of being equally unjust.’
    I have to agree with you based on my experience.You can ask most Malays who work in the private sector. Majority of them would say that the Malay workers have been discriminated in terms of recruitment and promotion to the top management position with only emphasis on fulfilling the 30% quota and roping them just to focus on the low level operational tasks and targets.The talented and capable Malay workers are being sidelined in order to pave the way for Chinese and Indian workers to the higher position. I just wonder even when the 30% quota policy is being enforced but yet the Chinese controlled companies are very reluctant to adhere and what if the government were to do away the policy. I don’t think that given the choice they would prefer to recruit the Malays to run their organizations.

    Well just look at the traditional Chinese dominated businesses and supply chain network e.g in the retailing and construction business. all the networks are being controlled tightly by the Chinese networks. It’s very difficult for Bumi companies to be able to get the same price quotation in procuring materials, parts , components, supplies and even when bidding for contracts.
    Even now the bumis are still not able to penetrate into the strategic industry like retailing and find it hard to compete in the construction business especially in the private sector.
    ‘To equate the NEP bias practice to that experience by the Jews in Western countries is not correct. Firstly, the Chinese came to Malaya for opportunities leaving their homeland. My biological parents were the first generation of this group. If they had found Malaya at that time to be discriminating them so badly, they could choose to go back to China. They have a homeland. But they found prosperity and tolerance here’
    Yes if Malaysia is not a good place, they would have gone home right away buy yet love to work and stay here and called themselves as Malaysians.Otherwiswe they will be repressed by the Communist regime back home.They should be thankful that the government provides them roles to play in politics,economics, business and education.
    ‘Finally, we should encourage more inter-marriages. Both sides have their good qualities.’
    As you are aware that is the Malays’ culture here that the Chinese/Indians must convert to Islam if they were to marry the Malays in the first place.There are those Chinese who wanted to marry Malay women but are very reluctant to embrace Islam.If given a choice that they can marry Malay women without having to convert into Islam, many would have done so.But not in Indonesia or even Thailand. In Thailand, most of the Chinese ended up marrying the Thai women and in the process eventually assimilated in to the Thai people and culture. We don’t think that is quite possible in Malaysia.
    Dear Penyumenagis, do you think that inter-marriages would be able to contribute towards 1 Malaysia concept ??

  121. Stop whining and blaming everything under the sun against the government, asked what we have done to improve ourselves rather than blaming the government for our entire problem.
    from my own experience as non-umno,pkr,pas,dap etc member and or supporter who did not benefit from NEP.
    I didn

My biological parents were the first generation of this group. If they had found Malaya at that time to be discriminating them so badly, they could choose to go back to China. They have a homeland. But they found prosperity and tolerance here’
    Yes if Malaysia is not a good place, they would have gone home right away buy yet love to work and stay here and called themselves as Malaysians.Otherwiswe they will be repressed by the Communist regime back home.They should be thankful that the government provides them roles to play in politics,economics, business and education.
    ‘Finally, we should encourage more inter-marriages. Both sides have their good qualities.’
    As you are aware that is the Malays’ culture here that the Chinese/Indians must convert to Islam if they were to marry the Malays in the first place.There are those Chinese who wanted to marry Malay women but are very reluctant to embrace Islam.If given a choice that they can marry Malay women without having to convert into Islam, many would have done so.But not in Indonesia or even Thailand. In Thailand, most of the Chinese ended up marrying the Thai women and in the process eventually assimilated in to the Thai people and culture. We don’t think that is quite possible in Malaysia.
    Dear Penyumenagis, do you think that inter-marriages would be able to contribute towards 1 Malaysia concept ??

  123. Dear Tun,
    I may have abused you in the past but lately what you said or did start to make sense.Indeed we are now living in a dengerous period of time. We are not supposed even to say we are bumiputras. It is considered as weak, humiliating and racist to the extreme.
    What the hell has happened to this country? I certainly do not like what I see. But the Government is too weak, corrupt, and to some extend is beyond redemption- the main disease. Each time BN clashes with BA, Najib has to prove that he also aspires to achieve One Malaysia, at the expense of the Malay privileges – scholarship, government officers, quotas in University, ownership of shares etc. And Najib has to do all these bullshits because there are some Malays (mostly young) who support the abolishment of these privileges, directly or indirectly, out of arrogance or foolishness.
    To these young Malays, I have these to say: Look around you, your family and community. You might have been the product of the privileges enjoyed by the Malays during your school/university time! Do you honestly think that you could be what you are now if not due to the assistance given by those privileges? If you benefited from those privileges, what made you think you have the right to deny the next generation to these privileges? Just look at you a bunch of pathetic idiots… ITM, UITM, Maktab Rendah Sains Mara, Politeknik etc.. do you honestly think you deserve to enter these institutions more than the Chinese and the Indian based on meritocracy? Most of you can’t even speak English properly and some passed the exams because the lecturers wanted to help. That is why many of us Malay Graduates are not employable!
    To all these idiotic young Malays-By all means, abolish these privileges when we are ready! but not when you yourself know, for heaven sake, that we are far behind. Don

  124. Salam Tun,
    Budaya orang Melayu terutama generasi terdahulu ialah budaya tak apa dan dah cukup, Manakala budaya orang Cina memang sentiasa kiasu yang tak boleh kalah. Budaya terbentuk daripada persekitaran hidup kita. Memang salah satu usaha kerajaan yang lepas ( bawah pimpinan Tun) untuk mengubah sifat2 ” tak apa dan dah cukup” orang Melayu.
    Orang Melayu bergerak amat perlahan untuk menerima perubahan tersebut kerana budaya “tak apa dan dah cukup” memang selesa untuk dinikmati. Jika kita tak perlukan kereta besar kenapa perlu bekerja keras untuk dapat kereta besar, jika kita tak perlu harta yang banyak kenapa perlu buat syarikat yang besar untuk hasilkan duit yang banyak, jika tak ada ilmu pun kita bahagia kenapa susah2 nak cari ilmu?. Kebahagian datang daripada hati dan tak memerlukan material, malahan secara purata orang Melayu dahulu memiliki material yang cukup untuk kehidupan seharian dan tidak mempunyai lebih tujuan untuk mencari lebih ilmu dan material.
    Manakala budaya kiasu orang Cina menyebabkan mereka sentiasa berusaha mencari material dan ilmu, kalau orang lain ada ,aku pun mesti ada. Ada yang terbawa2 budaya tersebut dan sanggup melakukan apa saja walaupun diluar peruntukan undang-undang dengan motto ianya akan hanya bersalah setelah berjaya dibuktikan oleh pihak berkuasa!, jika tidak perkara tersebut boleh dilakukan!.
    Hasil daripada perbezaan budaya, orang Melayu ketinggalan daripada segi material dan ilmu. Polisi DEB/NEP ialah usaha Kerajaan terdahulu untuk menangani masalah tersebut ada membuahkan hasil terutama dari segi pendidikan dan ilmu.
    Bagaimanapun polisi tersebut secara amnya gagal kerana polisi tersebut sepatutnya digunakan untuk mengurangkan polarisasi material antara kaum, tetapi setelah bepuluh tahun dilaksanakan polarisasi tetap berlaku dan kerana tempoh perlaksanaan yang terlalu lama tanpa banyak milestone / check point untuk menukar haluan dan melakukan pembaikan terhadap kegagalan yang berlaku, ramai yang tidak puas hati dan semua kegagalan telah diluahkan secara terbuka. Rakyat mungkin tidak mempunyai bukti yang cukup untuk menyatakan penyelewengan telah berlaku tetapi hasil yang dikeluarkan telah membuktikan dasar tersebut tidak dilaksanakan dengan sempurna dan telah terseleweng.
    Kelambatan intergrasi budaya ini menyebabkan kemelut politik sekarang,ianya di bantu oleh penyelewengan orang politik dan kakitangan kerajaan,ketidakcekapan agensi kerajaan dalam melaksanakan dasar kerajaan, kegagalan kerajaan untuk memahami kepentingan Islam sebagai sebagai rujukan menyeluruh umat Islam dan juga kegagalan menghormati budaya tertentu yang selamanya akan berbeza antara berlainan kaum dan agama.
    Dalam pilihan yang lalu rakyat telah menggunakan kuasa yang mereka ada dan BN tersentak dan cuba menafikan apa yang telah berlaku. BN sebenarnya tidak suka mendengar dan amalan tersebut sudah sebati dengan mereka selain daripada amalan2 salah diatas.
    PR setelah diberi kuasa, gagal membuktikan mereka lebih baik daripada BN. Ini membuatkan BN senang hati dan menyangka mereka sudah berjaya membeli balik hati pengundi. Mereka mewawarkan dalam media-media kerajaan jurang perbezaan sokongan makin menipis terutama selepas kemenangan kecil PAS di DUN di Kelantan.
    Itulah mentaliti BN, apa yang mereka utamakan ialah bagaimana untuk meningkatkan undi kepada mereka dan mengurangkan undi kepada parti lawan. Beberapa cara yang dianggap baik ialah dengan mengawal media, mencari apa saja keburukan parti lawan dan mewawarkan menggunakan media mereka dan kaedah yang sama digunakan oleh parti PR termasuk parti PAS yang tidak ralat untuk menggunakan taktik2 kotor tersebut untuk menambah undi.
    Hasilnya politik kita sekarang menjadi politik budak2 hingusan walaupun diterajui oleh datuk2 dan nenek2 yang telah lama berpengalaman dalam hidup. Kita nampak punca masalah tetapi melakukan perkara yang tidak bersangkutan untuk memuaskan nafsu politik masing2.
    Dan kita akan kekal dengan perangai ini selagi budaya salah ini tidak diperbetulkan, selagi ketua-ketua politik berpolitik berpaksikan kepentingan parti dan bukannya untuk kepentingan negara.
    Parti politik sepatutnya mempunyai politics governance yang lebih telus dan ketat berbanding dengan corporate governance yang diamalkan oleh syarikat2 perniagaan untuk memastikan orang politik tidak terus merapu sebaliknya melakukan kerja sebenar mereka iaitu mentadbir negara.
    Wallahuaalam.

  126. Salam Tun
    Sorry to sidetrack but I am very happy to see the implementation of the new computerised system in our judiciary. It costs RM9 million and able to do these things :-
    (1) capture the whole court proceedings on camera/CCTV
    (2) record and print out transcripts as soon as the proceedings finish
    (3) speed up the legal process
    (4) handle more cases
    (5) have a searchable database
    Perhaps this is the solution people can look for after sufferings of Kassitah Gadam (re your blog article).
    Also, condolence on the death of Tun Hamid. Al Fatihah.

  127. Salam Tun
    Kenapa org melayu sibuk untuk merosakkan dasar ekonomi baru dan menentangnya?
    Kemana perginya semangat bangsa dan Ugama yg selama ini di laungkan,,,,melayu hilang arah walaupun ada segelintir org berjuang atas dasar Islam katanya,tapi sembahyang pun tak buat.

  128. Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
    Saya telah bergiat dalam UMNO semenjak dari sekolah rendah lagi. Ikut kempen, angkat speaker microphone ke dalam but kereta dapat serba sedikit duit upah. Saya tak perlukan duit berkenaan, tetapi sebab hendak juga merasa sedikit sentuhan ajaib gah turut orang tua buat kerja UMNO. Sewaktu diluar negara saya aktif secara kelab UMNO. Alhamdullilah kemudian saya beserta beberapa orang rakan telah berpeluang untuk mengasaskan satu cawangan UMNO yang baru. Ini masa Tun jadi Presiden perjuangan kami. Saya berkhidmat sebagai Timbalan Bendahari dan kemudian Bendahari bagi cawangan tersebut. Salah satu kerja saya adalah kutip yuran tertunggak. Macam-macam alasan diberikan untuk tak nak bayar duit yuran masing-masing. Kami naik motor celah traffic jam, hujan panas untuk jumpa semua ahli-ahli cawangan minta duit yuran ini. Ada kalanya nak tutup hal, kami guna dana sendiri saja. Semasa krisis Anwar 1998, ketika saya berdiri dihadapan PWTC untuk melintas ke Mall saya dibaling dengan botol mineral. Agaknya sebab saya pakai baju putih bersih Pemuda UMNO saya. Kawan saya Haji Yusuf kata kami kena baling sebab pakai baju putih macam drebar teksi, orang kutuk sebab drebar teksi tak mahu pakai meter depan PWTC. Semasa saya ikut ketua saya ketika itu Datuk Hishamuddin turun kempen di Sabah, saya masih ingat macam mana kami menistiskan airmata apabila melawat rakan kami yang kemalangan di hospital disana. Baju itu jugalah saya gunakan untuk kesat airmata serba sedikit. Saya akhirnya mengundurkan diri dari Pemuda UMNO untuk menumpukkan perhatian pada hal perniagaan. Tun telah sedia maklum tidak satu pun perniagaan yang saya ada hari ini saya dapat atas tiket UMNO. Saya cari sendiri dan usaha sendiri. Walaupun sehingga saya bawa lori tanah sendiri dari pukul 12 tengahmalam hingga 5 pagi dari Cheras ke tapak KLCC dulu. Hari ini kami tidak lagi aktif dalam Pemuda UMNO. Adakalanya kita hanya perlu hadir untuk memberi sokongan dalam perjuangan. Jangan nak tonjol diri naik disitu. Sebab naik turun kita bukan kita yang pilih, itu bukan hak kita. Itu hak Melayu. Cukuplah kita boleh tulis sebegini batuan perjuangan kita dalam UMNO. Banyak lagi Melayu yang tak pernah buat apa satu pun untuk UMNO namun dapat 1001 nikmat kehidupan dan akhirnya bergiat nak jatuhkan UMNO pula. Adakalanya kita dipilih untuk hanya hadir memberikan sokongan dalam perjuangan dan bukan untuk kita menerajang keluar, menolak keluar mereka yang lain. Tetapi ini mungkin sudah terlewat. Saya minta DSN supaya memberikan nasihat kepada beruk-beruk dalam Pemuda UMNO hari ini yang memakai baju putih UMNO dan buat kerja malu kepada angkatan Pemuda UMNO. Masuk filem bawa teksi? Untuk apa? Seperti saya katakan, adakalanya dalam hidup kita hanya perlu hadir untuk memberikan sokongan. Bukan untuk menonjolkan diri kita. Yakin bahawa rezeki lebih baik kita telah ditetapkan ditempat lain. Tetapi ini saya difahamkan bukan lagi bahasa penghantar dalam Pemuda UMNO hari ini Tun. Dalam serba sedikit kesedihan ini saya mengakhiri komen saya kali ini. Semoga DSN akan buka mata beliau kepada perkara ini. Jangan biarkan orang ketawakan Pemuda UMNO hanya akibat kegelojohan seseorang individu. Kami menghormati kepimpinan DSN dan beliau memegang semangat hormat kami. Harap-harap beliau akan menasihati Pemuda UMNO hari ini. Dah jauh tersasar. Dah makin terhakis nilai. Dah semakin tenggelam dalam arus gelojoh ketuanya hari ini.
    Terima kasih Tun.

  129. Dear Tun,
    Allah yang lebih mengetahui atas apa yang telah Tun Laksanakan. Semuga Sihat sejahtera untuk Tun Sekeluarga – Rohani dan Jasmani.

  130. Salam Tun & my fellow beloved Malaysian, a little bit sidetrack of the main topic but still relevant and carry the same message of unity :
    If we were to seek unity, the government and the Malaysian citizen should focus more on the similarities amongst the races in Malaysia. Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Bidayuhs, Sikhs (and other niche ethnic group of course) do have similarities. Most of us love sports regardless of age. Most of us love to eat (whatever food available – be it pasar malam, fast food or exclusive restaurants). Most of us love entertainment, watch TV, movies, musics or Dramas. And definitely some of us are inspired by political too. And probably most of us love our religions deeply too. It is straight fwd that politics and religions diverse these groups in such a way political beliefs and religions are meant to be (but still have similarities in certain ways). Most of the main religions in this country teach their worshippers to be kind and generous to people, to environment and to animals. Perhaps in a different approaches. It is ok to have differences. That is how human being is engineered by God anyway. So forget awhile about politics, religions or some other beliefs that have the tendency to diverse people. We should focus and invest more on the similarities. For example , Sports ?? The most famous and highest fan sport is Football or Soccer (yes..I concluded that by myself based on 1 ball and 22 players and 100,000 spectators over 9.3 billion population in several continents. We (Malaysian) should create a very strong National Soccer Team fr example. Like those days when we have Super Mokh, Hassan Sani, Santokh Singh, Soh Chin Aun, Arumugam. They clearly represents the 1Malaysia spirit. Neighbours of different races can talk and chat about these without any racial barriers. When the people starts to share commonality, then its much easier to share the unity messages among them. (though challenges lies ahead, left and right.) Frankly, I am not really a soccer fan but I do impress when I see friends from different races speak the same language in one coffee table. Just talking about football. But very unfortunate they spoke about English Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League etc. Only minority Malay groups chat(among themselves) about Piala Malaysia or Liga Malaysia. Not just soccer, Badminton, we used to have a powerful team , multi-racial heroes. Those things should be designed again. It should starts from pre-school. It should starts at the national school. It must starts with us. Love our country, love who we are. We are fighthing to excell at the world level. Not among us, should not be between us. We should be role modelling to other nations. A nation that stands together, respect and love each other. Yes we can. Yes we must. Thanks – Adamfariz@Asraff Fariz@Kulim, Kedah.

    Betul tu Tun Dr., few Chinese accept conversion. Depa takut kena sunat kot?
    They get frenzied sometimes paranoia with one particular type of conversion: currency trading!
    Selamat berbuka dan membuka luas yang telah terbuka.

  133. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Bercakap pasal NEP atau DEB ini saya pernah bertanya kepada rakan saya yang berbangsa punjabi, adakah dia pernah merasakan apa apa bantuan kerajaan sehingga kini, dan dengan selamba nya dia dan ikhlas dia menjawab yang dia belum pernah merasakan apa apa pun batuan dari kerajaan yang memerintah selama dia hidup. Jadi saya pun bertanya lagi, adakah dia di lahirkan di hospital swasta, dia pun menjawab, dia dilahirkan di hospital kerajaan. Saya seterus nya bertanya kepada nya adakah dia bersekolah di sekolah swasta dan sekali lagi dia menjawab tidak, dia bersekolah di sekolah kerajaan. Saya pun berkata kepada nya cuba bayangkan berapa kah cost yang hendak di bayar sekira nya dia dilahirkan di hospital swasta berbanding dengan cost hospital kerajaan, tentu lah jauh beza nya seperti langit dengan bumi dan untuk mendapatkan pendidikan swasta jika di bandingkan dengan sekolah kerajaan. Pada masa kini saya rasa kebanyakan guru guru rata rata mendapat gaji sebanyak rm 3,000 sebulan termasuk elaun dan sebagai nya. Saya bertanya kepada rakan saya lagi cuba bayangkan kalau ada 30 murid didalam sebuah darjah bermakna ibubapa murid itu kena membayar sebanyak rm 100 sebulan untuk satu mata pelajaran, dan berapakah mata pelajaran yang selalu nya murid murid yang menduduki peperiksaan SPM yang kita tahu, kalau ada 10 mata pelajaran maka ibubapa murid murid tersebut kena lah membayar rm 1,000 sebulan untuk 10 mata pelajaran. Persoalan yang saya ajukan kepada rakan saya tadi adakah kerajaan yang ada sekarang mengabaikan tanggung jawab sosial menyediakan pendidikan yang berkualiti bagi rakyat Malaysia? Jawapan dari rakan saya tadi ialah kerajaan tidak pernah mengabaikan tanggung jawab mendidik anak bangsa Malaysia. Ini lah yang saya kelasifikasikan sebagai DEB yang kita tak nampak. Pada pendapat saya dan dari pengalaman saya berapa ramaikah orang Melayu yang berkerja dengan syarikat syarikat kepunyaan orang bukan Melayu tetapi dari segi gaji nya pun ada beza nya, kita ambil contoh berkerja dengan sebuah hotel kepunyaan orang cina, bila di bandingkan dari segi gaji pekerja Melayu akan mendapat kurang gaji dari pekerja cina dan apa bila di tanya mengapakah yang demikian terjadi? Kami di beritahu yang pekerja cina itu mempunyai kelebihan bertutur dalam bahasa mandarin, akan tetapi pelanggan hotel yang rata rata terdiri dari kaki tangan kerajaan yang selalu mengadakan seminar dan juga percutian di hotel tersebut dan bukan nya pelancung dari negara cina. Itu lah sebab nya saya kurang faham tentang konsep One Malaysia sekira nya hanya sesuatu kaum atau bangsa sahaja yang hendak bersama akan tetapi kaum kaum yang lain tidak seikhlas mana pun. Bagi saya orang Melayu selama ini ikhlas akan tetapi rakan rakan kaum lain tidak lah seikhlas dari segi berkongsi kekayaan, sebagai contoh apa bila hendak memulakan perniagaan didalam bidang pembinaan, dan untuk mendapat kontrak pembinaan didalam tender projek kerajaan, mereka mahukan kerajaan menghapuskan DEB, akan tetapi semua projek yang dapat kepada bumiputra akan mengalir hasil itu ketangan mereka juga di sebabkan mereka menguasai monopoli bahan binaan. Jadi adakah mereka ikhlas didalam hati apabila mereka hendak menghapuskan DEB?
    Saya juga hairan mengapakah kaum kaum lain bersungguh sungguh hendak menjayakan satu Malaysia sedangkan untuk menjayakan pemasangan bendera Malaysia sempena sambutan hari Merdeka di permis perniagaan meraka pun tiada? Di manakah semangat petriotik Satu Bangsa Malaysia. Kesimpulan yang saya bolih buat untuk diri saya dan anak cucu saya adalah hanya ada One United Malay dan bukan nya One Malaysia selagi tiada keikhlasan yang di tunjukkan olih bangsa bangsa lain……. Saya juga teringat kepada seorang rakan saya berbangsa tionghua yang pernah berkata kepada saya dengan loghat cina nya ” wa takda takut olang melayu bolih jalan atas daun atau palang tak makan dia punya badan tapi gua banyak takut kalau olang melayu tatak beli barang dekat wa punya keelai”.
    Tun ada kala nya tiada tempat orang Melayu hendak mengadu kesusahan mereka dan saya rasa ini adalah realiti yang di hadapi olih kebanyakkan orang Melayu. Kita juga banyak mendengar tentang Ali Baba yang akhir nya menjadi Ali Babun. Baba bila dah dapat senang cabut dan yang tinggal Ali menjadi babun dengan beban di blacklist sebab Baba tak siapkan kerja kerja yang sepatut nya di pikul bersama. Hanya ini lah satu satu nya blog yang dapat orang Melayu mengadu nasib mereka agar dapat dipandang dan didengari olih pemimpin diatas sebab pemimpin pembangkang hanya tahu bermain politik sahaja, bila diberikan amanah kepada mereka, mereka telah menjadi lebih teruk dari Ali babun, mereka rela di tunggangi dan menjadi keldai. Mereka juga sanggup mengkhianati agenda agama Islam dan bangsa sendiri demi undi undi kaum lain. Dulu, kini dan selama nya cuma ada One United Malay. “Hidup Tun Dr Mahathir dan mudah mudahan Allah memberkati segala usaha kita demi bangsa, agama dan tanahair”. Aminnn….
    PS Tun salam Takziah atas kembali nya allahyarhamah kekanda Tun, semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat keatas roh nya dan menempatkan nya bersama sama roh ahli Jannah di dalam bulan ramadhan yang mulia ini. amin…..

  134. Salam Tun,

  135. Salam tun.
    Apa yg saya nk tulis ni xberkaitan mengenai penyu menangis. Saya nk sentuh tntg harga minyak bg RON95 yg dulunya kata harga RM1.75, tp skrg tun sedia maklum ngan harganya walaupun kenaikan sekadar 5 sen. Dulu ketika d bwh pimpinan PM ke-5, pasal x tahan ngan harga minyak global, maka, dgn paniknya terus buat decision kadar harga minyak malaysia ikut harga pasaran semasa, tiap2 bulan berubah. Apabila harga global jatuh merudum dr 140USD ke 60USD mcm2 harga minyak yg rakyat dpt rasakan. Selepas turun sampai RM1.80, kerajaan langsung menyepikan diri, mungkin kerajaan pimpinan PM ke-5 bijak membaca mentaliti rakyat. Pd kerajaan, rakyat malaysia ni kalau harga yg naik mendadak dpt d turunkan kembali ke harga asal atau kurang sikit dr harga asal, rakyat akan silence, walhal, harga tu blh turun lg (bijak tul think-tank PM ke-5). Apa alasan PM sekarang ngan tindakan terbaru harga minyak ini? Macam ada hide n seek kerajaan kita ni. Tang subsidi tu saya konfius pasal, Petronas umumkan keuntungan, dlm keuntungan Petronas perolehi tu sebahagian dr keuntungan akan di beri kpd kerajaan (perbetulkan kalau saya silap, maklumlah sekolah pondok je)… So, mcmana tun? Tun dh mentadbir negara lebih lama dr lain2 PM Malaysia, tun adalh tmpat rujukan paling sesuai dlm persoalan ini. Apapun, semoga malaysia diberkati oleh-NYA.

  136. Tun,
    Dengan izin:
    1. Bravo, Ceylonese Lawyer, for you wrote well, frankly and without prejudice!
    2. I like especially, your assertion that “How many large Chinese run corporations actually have a representative management team, how many of them have real bumiputera participation and how many have resorted to tokensim. (Sic)”
    3. How I wish there are more sensible person like you in this beloved country of our…
    Tq, Tun. I hope both you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah are well and wishing you and your famiiy “Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Maaf Zahir Dan Batin!”

  137. Assalamu’alaikum Dear Tun,
    Well Sir, the last phrase of you point four reads:-
    “Worse still, he would be regarded as the crony of the Prime Minister.”
    The point stated reminds me of the UMNO General Assembly Meeting held back in the late nineties
    when you revealed the huge list of contracts awarded by the Government from various industries.
    And from the list it can be argued that there were huge numbers of contracts were awarded
    to the ‘friends and colleagues’ of the present PKR Head Leader (at that time the DPM)…..(And yet he
    mentioned about cronysm and nepotism)…..Today, he speaks about abolishing the NEP la, ISA la,
    English for Sc & Math la, so on and so forth (except himself). I hope the chinese friend is intelligent
    enough to see this….These are all merely carrots to gain the support and votes….Nothing more.
    Thank You Tun, May Allah be with us…..Wassalam

  138. Dear Tun
    Nathan Glazer, a Havard Professor said a true love between two individuals is marriage and intermarriage also can be a parameter to gauge how good people of different races coexist. I think one of the problems with regard to not significant number of intermarriage take place here is due to the fact that to some extent Islam in Malaysia has been Malay-ed. To become a muslim is seen as to become a malay.This is a wrong perception which is difficult to cast away.More work is needed to explain the universal values of Islam and the different between islamic values and malay values. However, one of the good points is the perception of Malay muslim towards their fellow muslim brothers is that once a chinese or an Indian becomes a muslim, he or she will be accepted as brothers and sisters whole heartedly and treated equally as muslim brothers.One Malay top opposition politician repeatedly said that a good Muslim chinese or Indian can be accepted as the prime Minister of the country.

  139. Salam My Dearest Tun
    Kami sekeluarga turut belangsungkawa atas pemergian Kekanda Tun, moga Allah cucuri rahmat dan menerima segala ibadah beliau.

  141. Tun mempunyai kebijaksanan tinggi kerana membuka laman web sendiri apabila dihalang oleh media perdana satu masa dulu. Saya kagum dengan kesabaran Tun yang menerima keritikan pembaca yang mahu menutup mulut Tun dengan hujah “Mengapa tidak buat ini semua semasa memerintah 22 tahun yang lau”
    Saya percaya bahawa laman web, buku dan rencana akhbar boleh menjdi bahan kepada perancang dan pembuatg dasar negara. Tetapi mereka harus tapis segala maklumat yang berasaskan fitnah, hasad dengki dan hasutan politik yng berselindung disebalik kekebalan parlimen dan mahkamah.
    Ahli-ahli parlimen dan peguan harus ingat bahawa hujah dan saksi didunia bukan awal dan akhir kerana kita ada satu lagi penghakiman di akhirat kelak. Pada masa itu mulut dikunci tatapi anggota lain akan menjadi saksi atas perbuatan sebenar mereka di dunia ini. Sila lihat surah yasin ayat 65.
    Didoakan kesihatan Tun berdua mudah-mudahan kita dapat berjuma lagi. Wassalam.

    what for a complement is that. subhanallah dan from chedet.
    what is tun’s outlook on life and will it make interesting reading?
    The life of Dr Mahathir is the life a Malay statesman.
    reminds me of the stars in the sky of madinah are like my companions
    Terima Kasih.

  143. Dear Tun, salam Ramadan selamat berpuasa harap sihat. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk ini……
    ……………..ENRICHMENT TAX
    Citizens do not pay tax to the country for her to ‘help’ the rich to get richer thru direct handouts. It does not matter they are able to benefit or not, they dont deserve it. After 40yrs of NEP M’sians can smell a rat from a cat when ‘Malay privileges ‘ are handed out.
    ……………..COMPARING 40 YRS AGO
    We are talking of current reality. Its impossible situation 40yrs ago is still the same now, to justify a policy crafted based on situation 40yrs ago. If situation of Malays is same as 40 yrs ago, all the glory and praise heaped on Tun is false, a big lie. If the Malays have not progressed from 40 yrs ago to justify holding on to that old policy, Tun is a failed PM.
    Amazing Tun clings on fervently to a 40yrs old argument and situation as justification. Why amend the rulers powers since we have not had problems with them for 40 yrs!
    Tun is willing to descend to generalizing, demonising the critics as against Malays getting rich (spin), quoting a situation 40yrs ago (no of rich Malays) just to blacken opponents. The critics are referring to 2009 not 1969! They accepted NEP in 1969, and for 40 yrs when it was originally agreed 20yrs.
    This is a statesman entering the sluggers ring.
    ……………..EQUALITY
    This is for those arguing for equality and those for supremacy. Both sides should stop striving for this and go with religion, which teaches justice. There never will be parity, equality (not even in apparently mono ethnic countries) only probably justice and fairness.
    Permintaan dua pihak ini, mcm lembah nak minta jadi gunung. Gunung nak disuruh jadi lembah. Yg diberi Tuhan ialah sungai yg mengalir antara kedua tempat ini. Kamu pelihara ia bersama. Gunung yg menahan air turun ke lembah akan runtuh. Lembah yg menahan air akan tenggelam.
    Maksudnya, rahmat Tuhan cukup untuk semua, kalau kita tak musnahkan sesama sendiri krn tamak. Tengok permintaan sendiri tamak, menganiaya, mengambil dari usaha orang? Ada bukit ada paya.
    Perkara lain, Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be…..
    …………….MINORITIES DILEMMA
    Mrk sanggup melabur dalam negara, membina kedai kilang, dikutuk tamak mahu membolot ekonomi. Kalau melabur diluar pula mengkhianat negara.
    Mrk hanya ada kuasa pada ekonomi peluh 6.5juta kaum sendiri, ini dikata membolot ekonomi negara. Hasil bumi negara (minyak,galian,tanah,balak) semua ditangan Melayu bukan minoriti!
    Menjana pekerjaan walau untuk kaum sendiri supaya berdikari di cemuh perkauman. Bebaskan krjn dari beban menanggung 25% rakyatnya disyak perkauman. Berdikari hasil titik peluh sendiri merugikan Melayu, perkauman? Kaum yg bolot semua jawatan hasil wang cukai, untung siapa, dasar apa?
    Nak kaum minoriti jadi beban pada krjn, bergantung padanya? Kaum majoriti akan bermurah hati tanggung mrk?
    Minoriti dihalang ada kuasa pemerintahan (krn ini panjat kepala). Terpaksa minta dari pemerintah Melayu. Kalau dia bantu, mengkhianat bangsa sendiri. Kalau dia layan rayuan rakyat agama lain, menghina agama sendiri.
    Kaum lain nak minta siapa?? Kaum minoriti mcm masuk tak jadi genap, keluar tak jadi ganjil? Mujur hanya kalangan penyokong chedet.cc berperangai begini.

  144. Dear Tun…
    Exactly, intermarriage could help eliminate the ill and bitter feelings of one race towards another. And yet… conversion is a problem. And so is acceptance of other people’s way of life and culture. Sometimes, it is easier said than done. Furthermore, religion is sweeter when embraced without compulsion. That is the biggest problem here…people are forced to be the same religion when they marry a man or woman of another religion. Otherwise, their relationship will be condemned by everyone, including the families.
    The different races in Malaysia could never be united because of their inability to accept each other unconditionally. Does it matter what religion you are? It seems that it only matters in Malaysia and maybe in some other part of the world.
    In some cases, intermarriage is frowned upon, and the parties involved are even disowned. I don’t understand why. If you change your religion, does that mean you are no longer your parent’s son/daughter by blood? As long as the people involved are happy with each other and could produce brilliant offspring, why should we care about the black, the white and the yellow?

  145. 1 Malaysia.
    Semua rakyat Malaysia berbilang kaum adalah 1 Malaysia.
    Tapi kenapa akhir2 ini isu perkauman semakin terjadi2?
    Pemimpin kita perlulah prihatin dalam isu ini.
    1 Malaysia jangan hanya tinggal slogan semata2.
    Utamakan kesejahteraan rakyat dan buang sikap penting kan perut.
    Dengar khabar angin semakin kuat bertiup……
    Dalam isu H1N1 laporan yang dikeluarkan tidak seperti apa yang berlaku sebenarnya.Benarkah?
    Benarkah juga dalam isu ini VIP diutamakan dan rakyat disambil lewakan.
    Hanyak sekadar memberi pandangan dan pendapat untuk mencari penjelasan.

  146. Salam Sejahtera Ybhg Tun,
    Sempena bulan kemerdekaan negara tahun ini, saluran televisyen berbayar telah menyiarkan banyak pencapaian2 negara melalui Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, Travel & Living etc.
    Antara yang disiarkan adalah kejayaan pembinaan KLCC dan Smart Tunnel, Biography Datuk Lat, pengembaraan Anthony Bourdain dan Ian Wright ke Malaysia sebagai pelancong, kepesatan pembangunan Kuala Lumpur dan berbagai lagi.
    Seronok menonton siaran2 tersebut sempena hari kemerdekaan negara.
    Adalah didapati bahawa banyak siaran2 tersebut adalah siaran ulangan yang telah diceritakan antara 10 tahun yang lepas. Tiada siaran cerita pencapaian negara yang terbaru dalam masa 10 tahun kebelakangan ini yang boleh disiarkan oleh Discovery dan National Geographic Channel.
    Tahun depan siaran2 yang sama akan diulangi semula sempena menyambut hari kemerdekaan. Begitu juga pada tahun2 akan datangnya.
    Wassallam Ybhg Tun.

  147. Dear Tun,
    I must say that Penyu Menagis has a very interesting background. I also like to share about a friend of mind with somewhat similar story.
    This guy is from Sabah. His name sound Arabic and he told me me it reflect a good person name. (Let call him Is)( Anyway Tun, do u know that these day, all the modern teen Malay has some short form of Glamour nick name? Usually it can sound a bit like English name)
    The thing is the 1st time i met him. I thought he was a Chinese. It turn out after getting to know him that both his parent are Chinese. I’m not sure what story behind but i think they already a muslim when they migrated to Malaysia.
    Anyway, they is certain characteristic of him that i would like to define as confusion between as a Muslim and as a Malay.
    He study in one of the most open-minded UiTM in M’sia. At 1st he told me he is a Malay. But the thing is he got totally no Malay blood based on his background back to even his grand parent.
    He stay in the hostel and when he is in his college, he told me that he wear “baju Melayu” all day long. Because he want people to know that he is a Malay and not a Chinese.
    I told him there is a different between being a Malay and being a Muslim. He is a a Chinese Muslim. There is not need for him to distance himself from his real indentity as a Chinese. You don’t need to be a Malay to be a Muslim. Malay is a race, muslim is a religion.
    I usually find that my Muslim friends of mix religion tend to be more religious or strong in religion that Malay muslim. There is a tendancy of ” memelayukan” a person when they come from mix races or a convert muslim.
    Just to share my thought. Thanks.

  148. walaikummussalam tok det
    Apa khabar Tok det , semoga Tok det sihat selalu
    Seperti biasa , saya ingin jadi penyibuk untuk ruangan kali ini . Saya tertarik mengenai perkawinan campuran , Mungkin genetik campuran boleh dianggap berlainan agaknya oleh itu saya lebih suka mengkawinkan anak saya dgn bangsa yahudi , mana tahu saya boleh dapat cucu yg luar biasa …..he he he (gurau je).
    Berkenaan dengan penyumenagis terasa terhina digelar Sihitam….Pendapat saya itu bermakna penyumenangis mempunyai daya tarikan tersendiri lah tuu (bukan semua org ada tu )
    Golongan yg terpilih je yg ada tu …Sorrylah kalau terlampau . Anggaplah ianya satu gurauan saje .
    Pendapat Tok det pula , Kekayaan negara kalau tak di agihkan sama rata , boleh memyebabkan tidak kestabilan pada sesebuah negara . Saya rasa mungkin betul , Ialah kalau semua dah ada kepentingan , siapa pula yang nak buat huru hara melainkan org yang tiada kepentingan sahaja yg suka buat kacau di negara sendiri . Dalam masa jgn lah dimanjakan sangat , sampai tak boleh nak berdikari pula nanti .
    Yang terakhir cara nak mengagihkan pun penting , jangan asyik kroni je yang lebih…masalah lah nanti . Ada penyokong Umno yang sendiri memberitahu saya , Deb tidak menjadi kerana ….
    Contoh dari 10% hanya 1% aje yang dapat dinikmati oleh rakyat sejak dari zaman Perdana menteri yang keberapa saya pun tak ingat . Lagi 9% semuanya pergi kekroni-kroni aje . Ada juga yang menolong kaum kerabat atau saudara mara (kalau betul susah takpe) . tapi kalau kaum kerabat tu pun memang dah senang itu bukan tolong namanya . Itu nama nya mengumpul kekayaan untuk diri sendiri . Yang itu saya rasa tuhan kita takde ajar .
    Minta Maaflah kalau ada salah silap .

  149. Dear Tun Dr M,
    I do agree that there would be more tolerance, understanding, co-operation, progressive thinking, extended family circle etc. if inter-racial marriage takes place. Inter-racial marriages between Malays & Chinese and Indians & Chinese. However, the bulk of those marriages involve adopted Chinese by Malays and Indians. These marriages were not that fruitful since the adopted Chinese were more Malays and Indians than the original Malays and Indians.
    However, of late, true mixed marriages in Malaysia are on the rise. Perhaps, it would have been much higher if not for the unavoidable religious obligations.
    There also seem

  150. Tun yang dihormati,
    1. Tun’s reply shows that Tun’s brain cells is still active and has not gone into sleeping mode.
    2. It cannot be denied that many malay professionals today are product of NEP including me.
    3. Why can’t we do a study on the percentage of upper class,middle class and lower class. How many percent of population on each of the classes and how much wealth each group holds. Under each class do a proper study on percentage of different races.
    4. It looks bad for BN. They scrapped PPSMI they lose. If they abolish NEP would they garner more votes? A fellow blogger said the youngsters won’t vote BN because they are hot blooded. So what is left? Will the older generation vote BN if they abolish NEP (keeping in mind malay/bumiputera majority population)
    5. It is tough being at the top. I am amazed how Tun did it for 22 years.
    6. I still believe in BN philosophy. However, if BN were children,they need a good spanking.BN still hold moderate view.
    7. I still do not believe in marriage of convenience. Now they are dividing a state into a muslim and non-muslim area, what next?
    8. It is very funny to see, a few days before election, a person would say ” sipolan and sipolan is not guaranteed heaven”, suddenly once election is over, ” Muslims must unite”.I want to know, who in this day and age is guaranteed heaven ?
    9. Take care Tun, may ALlah bless you.

  151. Salam Tun,
    Saya ada melihat iklan di TV tentang 1Malaysia yang dibuat oleh Proton. Ada babak yang tidak pasti maksudnya. Adakah 1Malaysia = equality to all??

  152. SALAM TUN,
    Intermariage is very good.I married with a converted Chinese and having six children. Four boys and three girls. My children were brough up with full displain.My wife is more religious than my relatives and always avoid gossip about other people.She chased all my children to pray the moment “Azan”. I have no problem for Hari Raya. It is one way traffic to my parent. All my children are now professionals and highly respect to the elders.Of cause in the early stage of marriage was quite difficult because of different background.
    Thanks.

  153. Dear Tun,
    The problem is, there are many of us tend to give simplistic view without having deep knowledge about the issues they talk about, by do not having sufficient knowledge on the issue they talk about, they having a tendency to misleading people by giving false or inaccurate info. We can even find these type of peoples in Chedet blog.

  154. Assalamualaikum Dear Tun, and To All Chedet Fans,
    Please allow me to quote something from our Holy Book The Quran…..
    “O Mankind! We have created you from Male and Female, and made You into notions and tribes that
    you may know one another. Verily The most honourable of you with Allah is that (Believer) who has
    At-Taqwa. Verily Allah is All Knowing and All Aware.” (Quran: Chapter 49: Verses 13)
    And particularly for PenyuMenagis…..May this help to clear up some confusion…..
    “They regard as favor to you (O Muhammad s.a.w) that they have embraced Islam . Say: “Count not
    yout Islam as a favor to me. Nay, but Allah has conferred a favor upon you that He has guided you
    to the Faith if you indeed are true. Verily Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And
    Allah is the All seer of what you do.” (Quran: Chapter 49: Verses 17-18)
    Thank You Tun, May Allah Bless us all…..Wassalam.

  155. Dear Tun,
    DEB is good and must continue. The only problem is to fine tune on the implementation side so that many bumis will benefit from DEB. To non bumis, pls go and grab the 70% portion of the cake and let the bumis (60% of population) grab the 30% portion. Do you think it is fare? Well, you decide..

  156. Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga, assalamualaikum……….
    Maaf, keluar tajuk sikit.
    Setiap kali menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan Peringkat Kebangsaan rakyat akan menyaksikan Presiden Umno berdiri bersebelahan dengan KDYMM Yang DiPertuan Agong. Mungkin kerana mengenangkan jasa pemimpin Umno terdahulu yang memperjuangkan kemerdekaan negara, dan secara kebetulan Presiden Umno sekarang ini juga merupakan Perdana Menteri Malaysia.
    Pada pandangan Ayahanda Tun adakah Presiden Umno akan terus berdiri bersebelahan baginda bagi menyambut kemerdekaan selepas PRU 13 nanti.

  157. I think the Malay need to instill strict discipline in their children. What we lack is this drive or passion on keep doing things until we get them perfect.
    I mean look at the westerners,be it athleticism, ballet, music, craft or just building anything- they start early on in their childhood (not part of the educational curriculum) and they keep at it till perfection.
    How else do you explain names such as Jimmy Hendrix, Bill Gates, Michele Dell,Wright brothers are they born genius or just lucky break? What about the Bolshoi dancers, or classical musicians or young kids working on engines or robots that they eventually design and built them.
    For Asians you have the chinese who excel in classical music, or the Japanese whose culture is the pursuit of perfection. These are not things we pickup at school, it requires iteration and perspiration. The Malays are not lazy, we all have heard of how some would walk miles to attend school ….but may be the infusion of discipline, creative thinking process or infusion of multi racial blood or is it just a pure number game? I mean a very small percentage of population is born genius and that they make the difference provided you have big enough of population pool.
    Beats me!

  158. I do not agree with PenyuMenangis in some aspects, especially that Chinese are instinctly more clever than Malays. This is not true. What differentiate among the races are not the intelligence by nature, but the culture that they lead. Chinese are particularly more hardworking in their culture. They have been taught to be so since childhood and there are many teachings from the thousands-years civilization that emphasize on hardworking and being industrious. One only has to be hardworking in order to be intelligent.
    Another important difference in Chinese culture is that, they are very particular in education. There is a famous saying among the Chinese community that “no matter how poor you are, never lack any education at all for your kids”. And this is the thinking that is embedded deeply into most Chinese hearts that they will put the education for their kids on the top priority among all. And that’s why you can see that the Chinese are so particular about their kids’ education. That’s why when there is anything that might impact their kids’ education, they will respond actively.
    Also, perhaps in your generation, many of the Chinese still think that they are Nomads and do not belong to this country. However, after more than 50 years of Malaysia’s independence, after the 3rd generations since the first generation being those immigrated from China, the Chinese treat this is their motherland, deep from their hearts and brains. You can see that evidently especially when Datuk Lee Chong Wei fight Lin Dan in any match. The Chinese shout exhaustively for Datuk Lee Chong Wei to win, because he fights for Malaysians and he fights for all of them. That goes the same when any other national badminton heroes fight with the players from China. Besides, the 3rd generations of Chinese are proud of being Malaysian. When the 1st and 2nd generations of Malaysian Chinese are in other countries, they might not tell others that they are Malaysians. Some even might say that they are Singaporeans, but that is no longer true for the 3rd generations and onwards. The 3rd generation Chinese tell the foreigners very proudly that they are Malaysians, and Malaysia is their homeland, not China nor Singapore.
    Well, there are many to say. What’s more important is, we should not see everything in life through the racial lens. It’s not about race, it’s just human. Of course we eat differently, live different ways and so on, but we all love this country, and we all want the country to progress and develop as one of the best countries in the world. We all want Vision 2020 by Tun to realize….

  159. Tun,
    Dalam tahun 1970an berapa kerat sahaja orang Melayu yang berjaya
    dan kaya. Mungkin boleh dikira jumlahnya. Orang Melayu sebagai
    guru dan kerani memang ramai pada masa itu. Setahu saya terlalulah
    sukar bagi majoriti orang Melayu memiliki kereta ketika itu.

  163. A’kum Tun,
    Cuma nak minta pandangan/komen Tun berhubung perkara berikut;
    Kenapa Dato Onn mencadangkan kepada supaya keahlian UMNO dibuka kepada semua kaum satu ketika dahulu. Adakah kerana Dato’ Onn sudah nampak bahawa jika parti politik berasaskan kaum dijadikan asas kepada pentadbiran negara ini maka akan berlaku ketidakstabilan politik suatu masa nanti. Atau adakah sebab lain yang menyebabkan Dato’ Onn menimbulkan cadangan tersebut.
    Sekian,
    Terima kasih

    Malaysian are fed up with scandals involving their money and BN members.

    While actual scandals involving BN members are totally ignored.
    How long do expect Malaysian to keep taking it in the rear.
    Blogs have open our eyes to the scandals.

  165. Ybhg Tun,
    Selamat menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan dan berpuasa.
    Semua dasar yang dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan adalah baik termasuk DEB dan subsidi. Semuanya bertujuan untuk membantu rakyat supaya dapat meningkatkan taraf hidup dan kehidupan yang lebih selesa.Kedaifan yang berlaku sekarang ini bukanlah disebabkan oleh dasar kerajaan. Ianya berpunca dari diri seseorang itu sendiri.
    Apa yang berlaku dan dapat dilihat sebilangan besar (bukan semua), kemiskinan yang berlaku sekarang berpunca dari masyarakat kita hidup semata-mata kepada bantuan kerajaan. Mereka tidak berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk mengubah nasib diri dan keluarga sendiri. Jika ada usaha hanya sekadar cari makan untuk hari ini, esok atau lusa sahaja.
    Untuk merubah nasib kearah yang lebih baik seharusnya bermula dari dalam keluarga itu sendiri. Tiada siapa yang boleh merubahkan nasib kita kecuali diri kita sendiri. Masyarakat kita banyak mengsia-siakan masa yang ada. Mereka tidak menafaatkan masa sebaik mungkin untuk merubah nasib. Yang tua menghabiskan masa berkumpul dan bersembang kosong dan yang muda menghabiskan masa melepak, merayau, merempit dan sebagainya.
    Paling mengecewakan, ibubapa boleh membiarkan anak-anak keluar merempit, merayau dan melepak. Mereka seolah-olah merelakan dan merestui perbuatan yang tidak mendatangkan faedah anak-anak mereka. Usia muda sepatutnya dimanafaatkan untuk belajar sama ada bersekolah untuk yang boleh belajar atau kemahiran untuk mereka yang tidak boleh belajar.
    Pembelajaran (sekolah atau kemahiran) seusia muda akan merubah nasib mereka ketika menjelang usia dewasa. Hala tuju kehidupan semestinya bermula semasa usia masih muda.
    Saya kagum dengan seorang jiran saya yang bukan Melayu, apabila anaknya mendapat keputusan PMR yang tidak baik, beliau telah bertanya kepada anaknya sama ada mahu bersekolah lagi atau tidak. Anaknya diberi pilihan jika hendak belajar, belajar bersungguh-sungguh. Jika tidak mahu belajar, cari kerja yang ada kemahiran. Jika kedua-duanya tidak mahu, duduk dirumah, hanya diberi makan dan minum sahaja tanpa duit belanja.
    Anaknya memilih untuk mencari kerja. Setelah beberapa tahun bekerja kini anak jiran saya sudah menjadi tenaga kerja yang mahir dan bersedia untuk menjadi towkey bila-bila masa walaupun usinya hanya awal 20an sahaja.
    Kebanyakan remaja kita usia seawal 20an baru hendak bermula atau masih terkapai-kapai lagi. Kita tidak seharusnya mempersalahkan mana-mana kaum dalam mencapai kejayaan hidup. Kejayaan itu bermula dari dalam rumah dan keluarga itu sendiri.
    Jika kita hendak maju, kita harus belajar bagaimana cara dan usaha orang itu sehingga mencapai kejayaan. Banyak contoh baik yang kita boleh jadikan teladan. Ada orang yang dahulu mencuci kereta tetapi sekarang menjadi usahawan berjaya. Ada orang yang memulakan perniagaan jual ikan di pasar dan sekarang menjadi usahawan dan ternama.
    Oleh itu, ketepikan sikap negatif dan contohi yang baik nescaya kita juga akan berjaya.

  167. Salam,
    Saya rasa penyu menangis melihat dari sudut yang terlalu sempit. Mengikut katanya dia tak pernah kekurangan apa. Mungkin keluarga angkatnya tidak meletakkan pengumpulan harta sebagai agenda utama keluarganya sedangkan keluarga bioliginya meletakkan harta ialah objektif utamanya. Di dalam Islam kekayaan harta benda bukanlah matlamat utama tetapi Islam pula tidak pula menghalang untuk mencari kekayaan dunia. Saya berpendapat keluarga penyumenagis ini tidak lah susah cuma tidak mewah. Semua cukup tetapi tidak pula berlebihan. Keluarganya mungkin telah senang dari sudut lain. Manakala Penyumenangis sumbangan yang dihulur atau yang dipinta oleh keluarga jgn la pula dianggap beban kerana itu sebenarnya akan menambahkan barakah rezeki kamu.
    Bukan salah NEP. Itu yang saya tau. Tapi hairan kenapa orang suka sangat pertikai NEB. Perutnukan 30% sahaja dimana sepatutnya lebih kepada 70%. So bagi orang bukan bumi rebutlah 70% kekayaan lain. Kalau orang Bumi bercerita sekolah wawasan, hapuskan sekolah jenis kebangsaan, hapuskan dialek kaum-kuam dan hanya menggunakan Bahasa Melayu seperti Indonesia dan thailand, tahu lak marahnya. melenting sampai dunia nak kiamat. Ni bile bangkit keiistimewaaan orang Melayu, mereka ingat orang melayu tak hilang sabar….tgh sabar ni!! tapik sabar ada hadnya.

  168. May I offer a few thoughts purely from an economic standpoint:
    1. In my view government intervention on behalf of the Malays and other Bumiputeras is an economic necessity not just for them but for the country in general. It is simply not possible for a country to progress economically if more than 50% of its people are not engaged economically or are not progressing. Many of us look to the market in China and India for example with great promise, we are fond of saying that if the middle class population rises by even 1/2% annually it creates a market that wiill run into tens of millions.
    2. In our own country the single largest group who can alter the quation of domestic consumption are the Bumiputeras. Their upliftment will means the entry of a whole new caucus of people into the vibrance of economic life. Therefore a policy that is targeted at them and is inclusive of them is an economic necessity;
    3. Economics is never far away from politics in any democratic country. Political realities will shape and moderate hard edged economic decisions. Thus politically no party who aspires to be voted into office and to remain in office can afford to ignore the plight of the Bumiputeras. Unless they are emancipated from above, they will be left with no option but to emancipate themselves from below. During the onset of the 1997 recession Indonesia was plunged into darkness as Indonesian Chinese were openly attacked. Many would at that time have asked themselves what they could give to save their lives or that of their family members, but it was too late. The energies of hatred had gained a momentum of its own which could not be halted either by reason or by strength.
    4. That is not to say that all is prefect. All affirmative action policies have been exploited- be it the Marshall plan in post war europe or even the Oil for Food Program run by the august UN. While we may doubt the future course of the NEP and its shape and form, we can hardly regret the fact that we have today the security of a more inclusive community where Bumiputeras have reached a level of maturity to openly question their own capability, their own commitment and drive rather than to languish in anger and jealousy over what the non-malays have.
    4. Finally, as we contemplate the future of NEP it is worthwhile refecting and asking ourselves how inclusive each of us actually are ourselves. While we speak stridently about the beauty of diversity – do we practice it ? Let us look at the Companies run by the various races , what is the composition of their management llike. How many large Chinese run corporations actually have a representative management team, how many of them have real bumiputera participation and how many have resorted to tokensim.
    In my assessment, while all of us could open our doors a lot more to the plurality of ur society, it is today a glaring fact that the GLCs have made greater strides than any other body to truly welcome Malaysia’s diversity. I cannot help but notice the rperesentative nature of companies such as Sime Darby, Khazanah, Proton and others in stark comparison to out and out private corporations who have evidently allowed race to be a dominant factor in their decisions concerning recruitment.
    In conclusion, I see the NEP is an important policy to unlift the domestic economy, it must be policed and there must be ever greater oversight against abuse and abuses. But the government of the lday must look beyond the fashionability of discarding these measures to the real impact of such a decision on the economy. If this is to be measure for comparison UMNO has shown a level of fairness which many private corporations are unable to. The road ahead is interesting and challenging, this nation’s ability to grow, to adopt and to change without demonizing its past is important.

  169. By all means with your permission, My Dear TUN;
    It is well to know something of the manners of various peoples, in order more sanely to judge our own, and that we do not think that everything against our modes is ridiculous, and against reason, as those who have seen nothing are accustomed to think. There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us to talk about the rest of us. It’s an odd thing about this universe that though we all disagree with each other, we are all of us always in the right.
    As always…

  170. Dengan Izin Tun..Terima kasih..
    Tun
    saya dah jawab penyumenangis ni..Tak cukup bagus ke?
    Terima kasih Tun..

  171. Dear Tun,
    I like the point no.4. This is what I’ve been telling my friend. This is due to the `prasangka’ of prejudice. I wonder why Malaysian is full of prejudice. I even wrote an article long time ago about `prejudice’ in my blog.

  172. ” 5. If those who succeed were all from rich families then there must have been a lot of rich Malays before the New Economic Policy. But we know there were only a handful of rich Malays before the NEP. Had there been, there would not have been the anger which led to the May 13, 1969 incident…”
    This is true…and reasonable enough, I still remember once I read through the web on issues raised by Kua kia Siong on issues of May 13,he wrote a book about it. In an open conference, someone stand up (I forgot who he is..but if I wasn’t wrong, it was a quite well known person) and debunking his facts that malay aristocracy had planned a coup d’etat that outthrow Tunku. He said their (malay aristocracy) number is so few, and they are unlikely being so invincible. Furthermore, during that time this malay aristocracy perhaps more likely having more royal family in it.
    Since many know it, why people wouldn’t just accept NEP was not all bad after all.In fact affirmative action such as embraced by us in our NEP policy is no alien at all to the rest of the world. The problem rises when there are person who perpuate such issues with damned lies for him to gain political trust. This parasite stir chaos by lying and he will continued it to achieve his goal.
    Now realizing the fact that this liar had stirred so much tension so far, we must understand why his view is publicly well accepted.Though one can give various reason, I believe one of the important factor is that we never learn form history. Undeniably, and strangely enough, huge numbers of Opposition party supporters consists mainly by youngsters. Vibrant and full of enthusiasm but not wise enough. What we are seing now is perhaps is what had happen in China,in the tiananmen square. This people being duped by what they seems to be the right.Mainly because they never analize before accepting the facts.
    They thought mass media being controlled by government totally and they opted for alternative media. Slowly they are addicted by it and hence would accept fiction this media had put forward.Every single details of it.
    Hopefully,things will change.Hopefully,people will start to analize their facts and hopefully,BN would reform.BN would need a giant leap to win their supporter back.They need it effectively and swiftly enough.I had no idea how is it possible.How can BN came up something as delusive as ‘Makhal Sakhti’ slogan to win back the non-malays.I crossed my finger and believe BN can do it.
    Kudos for being a great statesman.
    P/S : Hoping that Tun will finally beg down a nobel prize for your effort in promoting peace.
