   For a good friend, TWIN PEAKS. Your description of your happy days as a student at Perse drew out volumes of nostalgia from the deep recesses of my brain. Those were your care-free and happy days without care.

   I suggest you write your reminiscences in both Cambridge and London for the posterity to cherish. No matter how short or long this volume will be. I have already written 2 works and have 4 more ready for publishing at the appropriate time. I strongly believe that all Malaysians with a sense of literacy should put their experiences or views in print which together will create a better beloved Malaysia like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Daim and their works.

   Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

2. Yes, I remember Heffer’s bookstore. At weekends, when we were the only ones not on exeat (all the English kids had gone home), I used to cycle into town with my Jewish housemate to read as many science fiction novels as we could at WHSmith before rushing back for supper roll call. We were late for this once and were grounded the next weekend by housemaster. It was not all pleasant staying away from my family thousands of miles away growing up in my early teens. Homesick was an understatement. I try to forget the fagging (doing chores for senior boarders) and at school although we hated Latin and Greek, they were compulsory for all students until the Fifth Form. But we loved games times most as always (rugby and cricket). So overall it wasn’t really torturous as a scene out of Oliver Twist.

   My humble apologies. I inadvertently left out a few words in my previous comment. It should be…

   …..’ No highly paid Israeli in your boudoir at the Rakyat’s expense who promptly vanished back to Israel when the BN Government was ousted…..’

   Acheh !

4. Tun

   For TWIN PEAKS. From the very beginning of your existence on this distinguished Blog, I sensed we have something in common.

   It is good to hear that you know Cambridge well and attended the Perse School and not The Leys, along Hills Road which was founded by a graduate of Caius & Gonville College. I would have advised you to read Archaeology & Anthropology to get a place.- A subject which had only 5 lectures a week with you spending time with your companion drinking tea at Granchester.

   I attended the college with a huge crest above its ancient oak gates which was surrounded by walls like the former Pudu Jail at the end of St Andrews Street if you my recall. Dato Seri Sharil Riza is my Alumnus. I was there for 6 years. I presume you bought your books at Heffer’s Petty Cury just round the corner.

   It is a small World, TWIN PEAKS. My younger daughter is SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies, London University) Alumnus.

   My grand-daughter wants to be a Psychologist in her early teens. This shows how small the Modern World is these days, TWIN PEAKS.

   Significant headlines are now appearing fast and furious in the media from all directions every day. Here are some, thus

   1. ‘ SINGAPORE MONETARY EASING BETS RISE. GLOOMY EXPORT DATA SHOW NON-OIL DOMESTIC EXPORTS DECLINED THE MOST IN OVER THREE YEARS. ‘

   2. ‘ EXPORTS TO CHINA, TAIWAN, JAPAN WEAKENING ‘

   3. ‘ ECONOMISTS THINK EASING IS BOJ’s NEXT ACTION – SURVEY.’

   4. ‘ FORGET ABOUT POLITICS, TOUGH TIMES ARE HERE – JOMO. EXTERNAL SITUATION DETERIORATING ALMOST ON DAILY BASIS. ‘

   5. ‘ EXPERT: ASEAN SHOULD AVOID TAKING SIDES IN US-CHINA TRADE WAR.’

   To keep this short and sweet, the headlines are self-explanatory as the cold headwinds rise from human conflict in the World outside our borders.

   Fortunately, the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great is in place after the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs since 9 May 2018. Reports of how the BN Leadership treated huge sums of money from testimonies in the Court are both shocking and brutal.

   Our beloved Malaysia should now focus on enhancing our attractiveness for Tourism, halal food exports, tertiary education for overseas students etc.

   High cost Singapore is now wallowing in a rising storm in a multi-lateral World with no human and natural resources contrary to one media report which claimed otherwise.

   Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem. Your CONSISTENCY in your Policies is a good watchword in present day Malaysian Politics. In you we TRUST. No highly paid Israeli in your boudoir ! Keep smiling.

6. I agree with Tun’s choice of both Oxford and Cambridge Universities for key speeches on Malaysia. Everyone in the world acknowledge these elite universities, even in America, hence speeches made here readily grab global attention.
   I too lived for 5 years in Cambridge, not at the university though, but a boys boarding school called the Perse, not far from the Leys (where Sultan Nazrin went to, decades earlier). Our school had its entire teaching staff from Cambridge University, and all with at least Masters degrees in their subjects. Just to add the aura of being in a university town, all my teachers wore black gowns over their blazers. And we all wore traditional blazers and black leather shoes, and everyone was called by his surname. Public schools are really in a world of their own, oblivious to the even the local residents just outside our school gate!
   But I wished I had gone to Gonville and Cauis college, but instead I went to SOAS, London University, which had a very non-Western and leftist outlook about the place.. very cool place!
   Anyway, that’s just my own personal experience of Cambridge.

7. Tun

   How many Malaysians are aware or realise the significance of CONSISTENCY in the views of a politician especially of the Malaysian kind ?

   Kudos to you for both your important and significant speeches at Oxford first and now at Cambridge later. The homes of CULTURE and NOW AGRICULTURE ! No other Asian politician had done this unique sequence of speeches to these Oxbridge debating unions.

   There were reports that you did not bring up any new subject but your views were similar to that of the one at Oxford.

   I dare say this is excellent in the CONSISTENCY OF YOUR IDEAS AND VIEWS OF THE WORLD like the plight of the Palestinians vis-a-vis the Israelis, a tragedy which the Western World deemed fit to ignore or avoid revealing the huge injustice so meted out by the Western Powers since the end of World War 1. !

   It is good you kept on reminding the Leaders of the World about their CONSCIENCE and RESPONSIBILITY to a down-trodden people, the Palestinians. The Palestinians are the MILLSTONE the World has to carry around its neck as long as this problem is not resolved with justice and fairness.

   It was good also to note that your speech gave reasons for the Policies which you have implemented at home in the past especially your important LOOK EAST POLICY which still holds water to this day.

   The importance of the East is as important as the Rising Sun every day especially at this juncture of our beloved Malaysia’s development and progress. We need all the help and assistance from all friendly and sincere quarters. We need friends from all corners of the Globe. Your Policies bolster this as the headwinds rise and slow down our progress.

   TO THIS VERY DAY YOU HAVE NOT BEEN DEVIOUS AND CROOKED IN ALL YOUR DEALINGS. It was very NORMAL.

   Your very presence at both Oxford and Cambridge underlines the importance these two ancient centres of British learning may play an important part in our beloved Malaysia’s dynamic and determination to be ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 4 SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD SINCE 9 MAY 2018 BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

   It is very important that our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat have your WISE, BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP in the years to come one way or another ! Besides. the Rakyat will be seeing you around in our beloved country anyway for many years to come !

   THE PROPER LEADERSHIP OF ANY COUNTRY IS PARAMOUNT TO ITS GOOD NAME. PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS WHICH OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAD FROM 1957 TO 2003 BEFORE THE DARK AGE 2004-2018 OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMNET AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITE AND GLCs OVERWHELMED THE RAKYAT AND STRIPPED ALL OF THEIR WEALTH !

   I observe now there are three candidates who are fit to be called the New Generation of Elite (the 4th) now in your Team eg. Dato Azmin, Dato Sharil, and SADDIQ. It is good we have 3 and not just ONE after 3 generations of self-destruction by the Malay elites.

   Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. The Constitution is firm on the fact that without Malay elites, the non-Malay elites cannot move unilaterally. In you we TRUST. Keep smiling ! Welcome HOME !

   It is good to learn that your working mission to Britain has been well-received both at home and abroad. As always, the headlines are both exciting and ominous on all fronts whilst you are away. As usual, I just ignore mischievous and frivolous reports on the sexual happenings of a political kind which wastes too much time and money in our environment.

   The significant headlines as reported, thus ..

   1. ” SINGAPORE EXPORTS DOWN 15.9% IN MAY AS CHINA SHIPMENTS SLIP.” Singapore now trades in a multi-polar trading World since the end of the Cold War 1948-1989.

   2. ” HONG KONG DEMONSTRATORS DEFY AUTHORITIES ”

   A Special Administrative Region of China which exists in a twilight zone with no CONSTITUTION compounded by TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT !

   3. ” FRESH PROTESTS CHOKE HK ”

   4. ” MALAYSIA ASPIRES TO BE E & E HUB DESPITE US-CHINA TECH WAR.”

   5. ” DR M ADVISED ALL MALAYSIANS TO RETURN HOME TO RE-BUILD THE NATION. ”

   These headlines are self-explanatory.

   Here is a true story. During the Dark Age of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs, a brilliant Muslim Indian LSE graduate returned home. He worked for one Government hi-tech Agency. His Boss requested him to prepare the Budget for the following year. He worked this out to be RM 5 Million. His Boss instructed him to increase it to RM 10 Million. The young man was upset and consulted his father who advised him to do as he was told. After submitting the fake Budget, the brilliant young LSE graduate returned to London.

   And soon the international trade headwinds may be heading our way. Tourism, tertiary education for overseas students and the export of halal food products would be one of the bright areas of business
   endeavour.

   Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we TRUST. Keep smiling. The whole World will smile with you !

   These days unexpected happenings concerning the affairs of Nations do appear with suddenness !

   I wonder how many Malaysians who always believe in the myth that the grass is always greener on the other side, have seen this over the weekend on the failure of Meritocracy in squeaky clean Singapore, thus :-

   ” SINGAPORE ABOLISHES SCHOOL EXAM RANKINGS. SAYS LEARNING IS NOT COMPETITIVE. ‘ It continues……

   ‘The Ministry of Education said the change is to allow each student to press on his or her learning programs and discourage them from being overly concerned about comparisons – a move, the Minister hopes will show students that learning is not about competition.’

   This new Policy which also gave details on how it is going to be implemented beginning with the Primary and Secondary classes must have been seriously reviewed and considered since 2014 when 2 Ministers announced that in future applications for jobs and promotions would not only be based on academic qualifications alone but also on other talents.

   These were the very first Official announcements on the Failure of Meritocracy in Singapore in 2014.

   Meritocracy is a word much loved by Lee Kuan Yew who thought highly of his academic achievements at Cambridge immediately after the Second World War. He joined LSE first but sweet talked the Senior Tutor of the lowest ranked non-college, Fitzwilliam House who permitted him to enter Cambridge by the back-door being over-aged at 23, with no Latin or Greek qualifications or passed the requisite Open Examination. His examinations result in competition with a handful of war weary veterans was legend. But he failed to declare that he was last at the important professional Bar Finals, London in which his wife ranked 3rd out of 200. Later, my wife ranked 7th out of 700 in the 1950s.

   Mentally armed with such excellent academic results Lee Kuan Yew developed a strong belief in eugenics concerning the Singaporean population which even Hitler dared not attempt in the Third Reich.

   Lee Kuan Yew imposed a harsh and brutal 2 Child Family Policy on the population in 1972 which ended up in shambles in the 1980s.

   Reports of mental illness, abortions, sterilizations, suicides, religious fray, emigration, enforcements by Income Tax, etc. ruled the day. What that generation of Singaporeans learnt was to be kiasu and tried to avoid marriage for fear that a quickie Singaporean divorce would force them to part with 50% of their wealth to their ex-spouses !

   The weakness with the present 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 in Singapore today ( vide- Singapore White Paper on Population 2011 ) is the result of Lee Kuan Yew self-beliefs who went to the wrong College at Cambridge. He later found out the Christ’s College was the best and he made appropriate arrangements to reserve a place for a Singaporean Scholar to be parachuted in at the expense of the Malaysians. If he had been a Christ’s man himself, he would have discovered that Christ’s College’s Charles Darwin wrote a significant and celebrated treatise in 1850, ‘ The Survival of the Species ‘ on the natural selection of the species of animal kind and not eugenics.

   Lee Kuan Yew’s life long narcissistic obsession with his self-acclaimed academic prowess at Cambridge brought his downfall in at least 47 of his Public Policies. He never grew up because he never left his books behind at Cambridge and began afresh as a politician. From this milieu of his thoughts, the decades old Policy of Meritocracy in Singapore based on Oxbridge and the Ivy League began and rested with him.

   CAMBRIDGE NEVER TAUGHT HIM HOW TO THINK ! What our beloved Tun called ‘MIND-SET’ !

   Since the 1980s I had already heard about the failures of the performance of the returned Presidential or State Scholars in their public duties and responsibilities. Most of them returned to Singapore and could not get down to the brass tacks like dirtying their hands or stand in the hot tropical sun to serve the general public. Not only that, these overseas graduates grumbled at their boring jobs.

   In 2010 or hereabouts, a naked lady Cantab. graduate scholar with her equally naked Caucasian boy friend romped around the Holland Village, Singapore one hot Saturday night. When she was asked ‘Why ?’ she replied that her job was boring. The Singapore Government was dumbfounded and did nothing.

   Since then, a series of about 10 sexual misdemeanours involving Government Scholars have been brought to the Public notice.

   Our beloved Malaysia can learn much from Mother India and Singapore. The latter’s draconian Policy in Education is to be avoided which gave rise to mental illness, delinquency, suicides, etc – an attrition rate of the young and hapless is to be AVOIDED.

   Here is a true life example.

   My friend was so happy when his daughter obtained a Singaporean ASEAN Scholarship. His daughter reported that she was closely monitored in her studies. Eventually, she could not obtain a place in a Singaporean tertiary institution and was fortunate to join the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. She is now happily employed by a Kuala Lumpur bank.

   From my own experience, I am of the opinion that nowadays with the fast expanding Net, a young person needs only a Form 6 certificate at best. Thereafter, he or she can be in business or other non-professional activities. The non-professional students in universities spend most of their time socialising. And the universities are focussed on educating the young and not to fail them unlike the days of 60-70 years ago when places were scarce and universities were small and hard to come by.

   The World seldom fails to surprise. A the Singaporean Policy to discard MERITOCRACY AS LEE KUAN YEW KNEW IT SHOULD BE A SURPRISE to the ignorant.

   EDUCATION IS FOR ALL, NOT JUST A FEW ! Don’t fail them !

   Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem. Welcome home to you, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and the Entourage.

10. Tun

    Whilst you and your entourage are busily attending different functions in London, the news concerning the Region and our beloved Malaysia kept on flowing to highlight the dynamism and productive activities of South East Asia where its location and peoples assume a more important status day by day due to the Sino-American Trade Wars.

    All investors in the Region would be doing their sums on the benefits or the disadvantages of the impact of such a Sino-American Trade War which arose most unexpectedly due to the fact that after the Cold War 1948-1989, Uncle Sam came up with his hegemonic spiel, ‘Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights.’ But with the ascension of President Trump and his Policies, the trading countries of the Free World which supported America are now in disarray. They do not know how this Trade War is going to end.

    Many thinking people hope that there will be transfers of manufacturing facilities out of China to South East Asia. Until the picture of this Trade War crystallises, all bets are off. And until then, all countries will suffer and become losers.

    Singapore is the sole loser arising from the end of the Cold War 1948-1989 after which her QUESTIONALBE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 were grabbed from her by the BRICS, Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

    With the loss of such huge profits from the Cold War Trades 1948-1989, the void could not be filled especially with such a sudden loss. The Cold War 1948-1989 trades and profits pushed Singapore from a backwater Third World port to the First World. So huge were the profits.

    For Singapore, this sudden loss of REVENUE could not be replaced even by the 4 INITIATIVES OF LEE KUAN YEW CREATION AS A LEGACY FOR HIS INHERITORS being Temasek, FTs imports, 2 casinos, the TPPA/CPTPP – the Malaysia/Malays/SME Killer which was signed by the BN Prime Minister but not yet ratified by the Dewan Rakyat.

    By 2019, all failed. And her GDP did not breach 3% exclusive of inflation from 2002 to 2019 – 17 years even with patience and hard-work.

    Now all that Singapore has left is a CLEAN GOVERNMENT AND EFFICIENT CIVIL SERVICE WITHOUT LEE KUAN YEW AND THE ARDUOUS TASK OF COMPETING IN A MULIT-POLAR POST-COLD WAR WORLD INSTEAD OF THE MONOPOLISTIC UNIPOLAR WORLD OF TRADES IN QUESTIONABLE AND UNMENTIONALBE GOODS AS BLESSED BY UNCLE SAM DURING THE COLD WAR 1948-1989. That four-legged animal of riches had gone forever.

    LEE KUAN YEW MISSED THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY OF HIS LIFE WHEN HE DID NOT INVEST IN GOLD WHEN IT WAS ABOUT US$ 300 PER OUNCE between 1970s – 2000. If he did between 1948-1989 before and after Uncle Sam took the gold out of the US Dollar in 1972, he would have achieved the following :-

    1. Malaysia would have been caught between a rock and a hard place since the 1990s. Singapore dominates outright with PHYSICAL GOLD instead of RELYING ON CORRUPT MALAYSIAN DIGITS TO DO THE JOB FOR SINGAPORE.

    The latter Policy is now seen to achieve NOTHING but a few Rocks, steel rails, KTM lands, bits and pieces of no substantial value here and dare.

    All of these KIASU items amounted to NOTHING compared to the FACT THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAME ONE OF 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA SINCE 9 MAY 2018 ! Where are you Singapore with a choke point of 1 KM whilst Malaysia’s stretches from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea for 2,000 KM ?

    2. Singapore recognised as a financial POWER with 4,000 tons of GOLD which would have forced the United States and the West to defend it at all costs.

    3, Singapore owns a NATURAL COMMODITY OF INFINITESIMAL IMPORTANCE to justify a strong military and POLITICAL STANDING – no need to BS anymore.

    4. Singapore gains a brand NEW GOLD INDUSTRY involved in all manner of gold business activities and employment.

    5. NOW SINGAPORE HAS NOTHING without LEE KUAN YEW.

    In 30 years, from 1989 to 2019, Uncle Sam has discovered that the whole World’s parasites were sucking on her Wealth. Now, America wants to rectify what she sees as unjust trading arrangements made by her past Presidents.

    Our beloved Malaysia is right on top of the list of countries which are most suitable for manufacturing of any kind with her developed infrastructures, skilled workers and low cost of living in a hospitable and safe environment as maintained by the New and Incorruptible Government as led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

    It is on this score that the New and Incorruptible Government focus on welcoming both the FCIs and the foreign Tourists without forgetting its socio-economic duties and responsibilities to the Rakyat on the aged, the neglected young, addicts, horticulture, health and education issues.

    All else like little pin pricks on sex, proper appointments, etc are ABSOLUTELY IRRELEVANT in terms of Sovereignty, National Interest and Good Governance at the present time – such negativities should be ignored as childish. Round pegs for round holes. Square pegs for square holes.

    The flagrant use of the social media should be ignored as long as the New and Incorruptible Government keeps to its Policies which we the Rakyat knew so well from 1957-2003 before the whole of our beloved Malaysia was overwhelmed by the Darkness of the Dark Age 2004-2018 brought upon us the innocent Rakyat by the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs.

    Now the whole beloved Malaysia is back in the sunshine with blue skies and white cumulus clouds AND ON THE RIGHT TRACK TOWARDS BENEFITS FOR ALL underlined by the significant headlines which appeared clearly in recent days, thus

    1. ” SGX 41 LONG SUSPENDED COMPANIES. HIGHEST IN 3 YEARS. STUCK IN TRADING PURGATORY AND STRUGGLING TO CLEAN UP THEIR ACT. ” Singapore Business Times.

    2. ” WELCOME 2019. RETRENCHMENT UP 28 PERCENT AT 3,230 COMPARED WITH 2,510 IN PREVIOUS QUARTER. ” Singapore Business Times.

    My ex-banker relative is now a GRAB taxi-driver !

    3. ” FDI SURGED 73.4 PERCENT IN 1ST QUARTER 2019 FROM A YEAR AGO. ”
    Quote FM Malaysia.

    All these headlines are self-explanatory.

    Our beloved Malaysia must be on guard all the time as regards the political and socio-economic well-being of all the Rakyat because the World has become more complicated with the Net and more clever people to cause trouble and damage at lower costs.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem In you we TRUST. Keep smiling !

    In this Sino-US Trade War, countries in South East Asia can gain only if they are organised and banded togehrt to gain from the expected largesse of FDIs to come from China, Japan and South Korea.

11. “This sad and tragic episode now happening in Hong Kong has a precedent in the proposed MALAYAN UNION OF 1945 when the British Labour Government in Whitehall, London rode roughshod over the Royal Sultans and the Malays WITHOUT CONSIDERING THEIR POLITICAL AND OTHER RIGHTS.

    It was alleged the British Residents or the Advisers to the Sultans alerted their peers to this anomaly. The Malays demonstrated in force. The British backed down and came up with a revised version known as THE FEDERATION OF MALAYA AGREEMENT 1951.

    See how the Royal Sultans and the Malays got it right and the Hong Kongers got it very wrong. IT WAS JUST A QUESION OF THE RIGHT TIMING.”

    Ditto.

    I would just add that, speaking as a Sabahan, it is very important for Everyone, and not just those in government, to have a say in the ongoing constitutional amendment bill regarding the Borneo states’ relation with the federation. And it is VERY important that No One is belittled in discussing such a life-changing bill as this, one that will affect generations of Sabahans, Sarawakians and Malayans, still to come. No matter how little the voice, it must be heard and I would prefer a British style referendum of Brexit, if the difference in public opinions is too pronounced.
    Let the ordinary Borneo people have the final say in a clean and internationally monitored referendum. And we must accept whatever the outcome, without hesitation. That’s my stand as a democrat. Politicians duty after that is to simply implement the people’s decision in the most cost-effective way possible.
    To do any other way is to invite long-term suspicions and resentments and bring more trouble to the entire nation in future.
    Give ordinary people (not politicians with their inevitable personal interests) the final say on any political suggestion in the House of Parliament.

    Let the massive demonstrations which have recently taken place in Hong Kong, Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China be an eye-opener to those who do not understand Malaysia’s very own Constitution.

    The historical and political background to this Hong Kong Conundrum began in 1887 when the British occupied Hong Kong Island and the New Territories by the use of force from the Ching Dynasty of China. A 100 year lease was forced on the Chinese.

    By 1982, Margaret Thatcher, then the British Prime Minister made overtures to the Chinese Central Government to make arrangements to return the British occupied territories by 1997. This whole arrangement was completed without much fuss in the eyes and knowledge of the Hong Kongers and the World. Up to the handover, I did not recall any dissatisfaction was expressed by anyone with the ONE COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS AGREEMENT.

    Now a minority of Hong Kongers are opposed to any Legislation of Laws which they do not like eg. The Repatriation to China Bill in a Hong Kong which has already been part and parcel of the People’s Republic of China since 1997. Much water has flowed under the bridge since 1997.

    Those opponents against this Bill argue that the danger lies in the fact that the two LEGAL SYSTEMS, of Hong Kong and China are different. Not only that, the Bill will turn Hong Kong like any part of China because if implemented any Hong Konger maybe repatriated back to China legally and openly and will not face a fair trial.

    My opinion is that in 1982, the Hong Kong people were so timid and quiet when the Arrangements to return to China were first mooted by the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher ? They just kept to themselves and minded their own businesses.

    WHAT OR WHO AROUSE THEM ON AND ON IN 2019 ?

    IF AT ALL, 1982 WAS THE POINT WHEN THE HONG KONGERS SHOULD HAVE TURNED OUT IN FORCE TO DEMAND THEIR RIGHTS WERE PROTECTED UNDER THE ONE COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS AGREEMENT and guaranteed by both China and Britain as well. But the Hong Kongers did nothing of any kind except maybe one or two harbingers of the piece like Martin Lee, a lawyer.

    ON THIS SCORE, THE HONG KONGERS DID NOT MAKE A SQUEAK.

    Hong Kong a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China is now a part of China LEGALLY IN ALL ASPECTS, thousands of the Hong Kongers came out to demonstrate against a Bill or something which is very much a part and parcel of the NORMAL FUNCTIONS OF ANY STATE IN THE WORLD.

    I do not expect the Government of the People’s Republic of China to give way at all on this Repatriation Bill as the Law prevails.

    WITH THIS HONG KONGERS FAUX PAS, MANY DEMONSTRATORS WILL BE INJURED CRITICALLY OR OTHERWISE IF THERE ARE MORE DEMOSNSTRATIONS TO COME.

    And the blame for these unnecessary injuries and the bad timing of these demonstrations REST FULLY WITH THE LEADERS AND THOSE BEHIND THEM FOR NOT DOING THE SAME IN 1982 AND NOT 2019. With the latter, THE LAW PREVAILS !

    This sad and tragic episode now happening in Hong Kong has a precedent in the proposed MALAYAN UNION OF 1945 when the British Labour Government in Whitehall, London rode roughshod over the Royal Sultans and the Malays WITHOUT CONSIDERING THEIR POLITICAL AND OTHER RIGHTS.

    It was alleged the British Residents or the Advisers to the Sultans alerted their peers to this anomaly. The Malays demonstrated in force. The British backed down and came up with a revised version known as THE FEDERATION OF MALAYA AGREEMENT 1951.

    See how the Royal Sultans and the Malays got it right and the Hong Kongers got it very wrong. IT WAS JUST A QUESION OF THE RIGHT TIMING.

    At the end of the day, THE MALAYSIAN CONSTITUTION PREVAILS in all aspects of the political and socio-economic Life of our beloved Malaysia.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we TRUST. Keep smiling.

13. Tun

    It is heartening to read in the media of your forthcoming 3 day working visit to the United Kingdom. Our beloved Malaysia has strong ties with the United Kingdom until the Dark Ages of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs.

    With the coming of Brexit, Malaysia’s ties with the United Kingdom can only grow stronger.

    In 1972, I was aghast that the United Kingdom was intent to be part of the EU, a continent where England had fought many wars through the centuries and won most of them. As we can see now, that the EU Membership was not a bed of roses for the United Kingdom. Even a divorce will cost them Pounds Sterling 39 Billion.

    However, there are many beneficial bonds between the United Kingdom and our beloved Malaysia being they are quite advanced in hi-technology the bulk of which is sited in the Cambridge area which is considered the Silicon Valley of Britain.

    Your important advisers Tun Daim Zainuddin (Churchill College) and Dato Seri Shahril Ridza Ridzuan (Christ’s College) are both from the University of Cambridge. Maybe Dato Seri Sharil can arrange a visit to an important hi-tech facility for you and your entourage in Cambridge.

    It is a delight to read that you will be giving a talk on ‘Democracy in Asia’ It is only fitting and appropriate that this significant and important speech should come from the most important political practitioner of his generation in the Region and the World.

    You may chance upon meeting two distinguished Malaysian academicians at the Cambridge University, Professor Emeritus Dr Charley Loke of King’s College and Professor of Geriatrics Dr Khaw. She is the daughter of a Malaysian Cabinet Minister Tan Sri Khaw Kai Boh in the Cabinets of the Tunku and Tun Abdul Razak. There is one more Malay medical specialist whose name I could not remember off–hand who did some research work in one of the medical laboratories.

    However it is good you visit Britain at least twice a year with a special emphasis on places of higher learning and the hi-tech like Oxford and Cambridge.

    Bon Voyage to you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and the entourage.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we all TRUST. Keep smiling.

    Many people are intrigued by sex of the political kind whether it is between man and man or man and woman does not matter. To us, it is just a matter of human sexual activity which has a recorded history as long as there was Adam and Eve. And from here, many devious and abnormal forms of human sexual activities emerged – most of which are illegal.

    But now we are not interested in any kind of sexual behaviour or activity of Humankind.

    Our concern is focussed on ‘FAKE WEAPONIZATION OF POLITICAL VIDEOS’ – Courtesy of CNN – to destroy the honourable character of a political opponent. Apparently it is cheap and easy to produce such videos and experts are already experimenting with software to detect and call out such fake videos according to CNN.

    Tun, your call on the use of fake videos yesterday was succinct and to the point. Who cares about fake videos ?

    MY OPINION IS TO BAN ALL FAKE VIDEOS, SEXUAL OR OTHERWISE FROM OUR MALAYSIAN POLITICAL ARENA ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    Such fake videos should be thrown into the dust-bin without any consideration.

    This is the best method of stopping a dastardly practice which wastes a lot of everyone’s time, the officials or otherwise. Time and money should be well-spent on the aged, the neglected young, addicts, horticulture health and education and not on the grinning morons in the fake videos.

    The job of a Malaysian Politician is to care for the welfare of the Rakyat concerning all aspects of their well-being. In return, there is no reason to doubt that a Malaysian Politician will deliver less whatever he or she did in private and within the 4 walls. IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS !

    AS DENG XIAO PENG SAID, ‘ IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER A CAT IS BLACK OR WHITE AS LONG AS IT CATCHES MICE.’

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem AS LONG AS WE BAN ALL VIDEOS CONCERNING SEX FROM OUR MALAYSIAN POLITICAL ARENA TO REMOVE THE POLITICAL WEAPONIZATION OF FAKE VIDEOS. In you we all TRUST. Keep smiling.

15. By the way, my sincere apology to all ambassadors of Latin American countries and the Philippines, for my sometime very frank views.

16. Living in a country like Brazil or Argentina, it is Who you know that matters more than What you know. They were discovered by Portuguese and Spanish explorers who chased gold and silver south of the Americas and practically transplanted a new Spain and Portugal with all the class systems found back home in Europe. There is absolutely no incentive to work hard because it won’t get you anywhere. Just like the Philippines today.
    Whereas the late-comers British and French were left with the crumbs north of the Americas. There was nothing there so the British high society never took root there. The only way to survive was through sheer hard work and free enterprise. But when they began to prosper, England took notice and wanted to reclaim the colonies back, and of course we all know what happened after that. Anyway, the crumbs north of the Americas is now called the USA and Canada, the two most powerful economies in the Western hemisphere, if not the whole world too.

17. Tun

    How many Malaysians are aware that the South American countries of today were extremely rich before post World War 2 ?

    At the turn of the 20th Century, a town Manaus situated about 1,000 km from the mouth of the Amazon River was so rich that the town could build a glittering European style opera house which imported European opera artistes for its performances. This was at the height of the natural rubber boom in the early 20th Century.

    And even after World War 2 in the 1960s, Brazil prposed to build its new capital city of Brasilia. Since then, there were one corrupt Government Regime one after another with the 1% ruling clique dominating the Brazilian Society, year after year, decade after decade with no end in sight of the alleviation of its poor right at the bottom of the heap. The Brazilian poor classes only overt expression was football !

    Finally, Brazil is one of the richest country in South America if not the World with its huge land mass and natural resources. But its economy was forever sick and afflicted with inflation and corruption.

    Then there is Argentina which was ranked No 7 in the Pre-World War 2 because she produced beef and wheat for Europe and the rest of the World. Then Argentina had something like 500 tons of gold in her coffers. After World War 2, Peron and his wife Evita became Argentina’s rulers because of their Populist Policies and the non-deliverance of her decadent and corrupt Governments of their predecessors. In no time at all, the riches of Argentina were gone and replaced by rampant inflation which took hold to this very day.

    BOTH COUNTRIES BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA WERE CONSUMING MORE THAN THEY PRODUCED WHICH RESULTED IN THEIR CENTRAL BANKS PRINTED MORE AND MORE MONEY FOR THE RULING GOVERNMENT WITH CONCOMITANT DEPRECIATION OF THE MONEY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

    It was at this point, when our beloved Malaysia Government had all her money stolen outright by its SINGAPOREAN PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITE AND GLCs that our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team ousted the decadent and corrupt BN Government on 9 May 2018.

    And to return to her former Prosperity and Glory of the pre-2003 years, our beloved Malaysia with all of us will have to work hard once again to REPLACE WHAT HAS BEEN BLATANTLY AND BRAZENLY STOLEN FROM THE RAKYAT BY THOSE IN COMMAND FROM 2004-2018. According to the UN, IMF and World Bank Reports, RM 1 Trillion flowed overseas from 2002-2010 and another RM 500 Billion between 2011-2018.

    The sad and tragic political and socio-economic histories of Brazil and Argentina are not only confined to them BUT ALSO TO THE WHOLE OF SOUTH AND CENTRAL AMERICA. NOT A SINGLE SOUTH AMERICAN COUINTRY ESCAPED THE CURSE OF CORRUPTION AND DECADENCE since their hopeful beginnings in the 19th Century as independent countries free from the Spanish yoke.

    We see the poor South Americans demonstrating around their magnificent European style architectural buildings every night. Such scenes would either come from Peru or Argentina or Venezuela and so on. ALL SOUTH AMERCIAN COUNTRIES HAVE A LAND MASS AND INHABITED BY DECENT PEOPLE LIKE US THE MALAYSIANS. And yet, we could see these South Americans appeared to be dirt poor, the middle and the working classes.

    THE RESULT OF THE CORRUPTION AND DECADENCE OF THEIR GOVERNMENTS AS COULD BE DISCERNED AS FAR AS COULD BE REMEMBERED.

    And the main beneficiaries of all the corrupt and stolen money were SWITZERLAND, THE UNITED STATES AND WESTERN EUROPE. With so much crooked money deposited in these host countries, THERE IS NO MONEY LEFT TO IMPROVE THE LIVING STANDARDS OF THE POOR MASSES AND THE MIDDLE CLASS. And this sad story dragged on and on and on, with every incumbent Government trying to do a perfunctory patch job on the spot BUT NOTHING MORE OR WITH ANY SUCCESS, because hard-nosed investors are not going to throw away their hard-earned money to undeserving Governments.

    Most South American countries do not attract foreign investments because of the impossibility of doing a proper business like manufacturing in a decadent and corrupt environment which was governed by Governments WITHOUT MORALS OR FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE like the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs ! SUCH GOVERNMENTS ONLY ATTRACTED FOREIGN CROOKS AS WE COULD DISCERN IN THE FELDA AND OTHER FOREIGN CASES ETC.

    We do not need to go far to witness all the decadence and corruption of South American governments, JUST TURN ON YOUR TV TONIGHT !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem In you we TRUST. Keep smiling.

18. Tun

    A most significant headline struck my eyes this morning, thus

    ” MALAYSIA SENDS BACK 3,000 TONS OF WASTE.”

    The Minister involved in this matter deserves our thanks for a job well-done.

    We should send back the whole lot of waste which was dumped here during our beloved Malaysia’s Dark Ages of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elite and GLCs. It was so dark then – just like the moment before Dawn.

    This also exposed the Corruption of the Customs Department and its officers that they permitted RUBBISH TO BE IMPORTED INTO A SOVERIEGN NATION AGAINST HER NATIONAL INTEREST.

    All countries in the World laughed at us and even little Singapore with nothing could get anything out of the weak, corrupt and decadent BN Government with no backbone and had no words like ‘Sovereignty’ or ‘National Interest’ in their Corrupt and Decadent vocabulary. The Corrupt BN Government even copied the useless GLCs Policy of Singapore which is anti-democratic and corrupt.

    Waste of any country which was the worst form of human excretion, was dumped on us , Malaysians without notice by countries who probably thought our beloved Malaysia was like one of those riff-raff countries of South America or Africa – so low in esteem had our beloved Malaysia fallen during the Dark Ages – 2004-2018.

    Now we MUST CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN FOR STEALING SO MUCH MONEY OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS.

    Not only that THE GOVERNMENT MUST SET UP A SPECIAL UNIT TO RETRIEVE ALL THE STOLEN MONEY EVEN IF THIS WILL TAKE 100 YEARS.

    These crooks not only STOLE NEARLY ALL OUR PUBLIC MONEY BUT ALSO BROUGHT THE BELOVED MALSYSIA’S GOOD NAME TO SO LOW IN THEIR ESTIMATION OF US, A SET OF GOOD PEOPLE WHO HAD HARMED NO ONE BUT ONLY CONTRIBUTED GOOD TO THE WORLD LIKE OUR UN PEACE-KEEPING FORCE IN THE CONGO IN THE 1960s.

    Worst of all, THESE CROOKS THOUGHT WE THE RAKYAT WERE SO STUPID THAT THEY COULD STEAL ANYTHING THEY LIKE WHILE IN POLITICAL POWER !

    JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL ! As LKS said yesterday, ‘ THE MACC MUST GO AFTER ALL THE SHARKS. ‘ To this I absolutely concur.

    We Malaysians, Malays, Chinese Indians and all must stand proud, strong and united to support the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our beloved Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side because of them, our beloved Malaysia has become ONE OF FOUR IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. Where are you Singapore ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we TRUST. Keep smiling we are with you ! Malaysia is GREAT.

19. Tun

    I do not know whether I should laugh or cry my head off when I read this absurd headline

    1. ” ENTIRE SRC BOARD WENT TO SWITZERLAND.”

    These lot of fellows seemed unqualified to look after any money especially Public money left in their care. It was reported the whole gang of Directors went to Geneva, Switzerland to ascertain that the billions of ringgits deposited in a bank was there. What an idiotic thing to do going all the way to Switzerland after releasing the billions of ringgits at the drop of a hat. This looked just like a blatant attempt to have a jolly good holiday at one of the most expensive watering spots in the World at public expense. NO ONE IN HIS RIGHT SENSE OF MIND WOULD TRAVEL THOUSANDS OF MILES BY FIRST CLASS SIA TO COUNT HIS MONEY IN ANY SWISS ACCOUNT. Yet this fellow dared to tell the World that he and the whole Board did it. Imagine every company Board in the World travel to Switzerland to check their monies in Geneva. The hotels would have done a roaring trade and more.

    It was alleged some GLCs had their Board Meetings in the most expensive hotels in London. Board Meetings which were furnished with the complete trappings and accoutrements

    BUT THIS FELLOW IS TRYING TO BE SMART AND THINK US RAKYAT ARE STUPID FOOLS.

    In the 1970s, a Pahang Tunku already recommended me his private Geneva banker WITHOUT GOING TO GENEVA. I did not tell this Pahang Tunku that my eldest brother died of TB in Switzerland in 1929.

    What a stupid or clever lot of fellows we are beginning to find during the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its Corrupt elite and GLCs.

    2. ” KIT SIANG URGES MACC NOT TO SPARE ANY SHARKS.”

    This is the very first time that KS has spoken something apolitical. KUDOS TO HIM FOR SAYING SO.

    These Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government sharks 2004-2018 and their equally Corrupt elite and GLCs stole so much money out of the Malaysian Financial System that the WEALTH OF THE MALAYS, CHINESE, INDIANS AND ALL HAS BEEN REDUCED BY AT LEAST 30%-50%. All are affected from the very rich to the very disadvantaged. Vide. Reports of the UN, IMF and World Bank. During 2002-2010, RM 1 Trillion was siphoned overseas. Another RM 500 Billion went during 2010-2018.

    CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

    And the following headlines are nearer to our hearts, thus

    3. ” MALAYSIA’S NEWEST INDUSTRIAL PARK DRAWS JAPANESE INVESTMENT.”

    4. ” NEC ENTERS RACE TO LEAD MALAYSIA DIGITAL 1D PROJECT.”

    5. ” TRADE WARS STEERS CHINESE INVESTMENT TOWARDS SOUTH EAST ASIA.”

    These headliners are all harbingers of good news to come for our beloved Malaysia and will gather momentum as more impetus is applied by the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young. the Good and the Great. Where else but Malaysia ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

20. Tun,

    There are no shortage of exciting headlines in recent weeks even as some countries were on holidays due to the festive season. Here are some which should arouse interest, thus :-

    1. ‘ CAN SINGAPOREANS BE THE JEDI OF THE TECH WORLD ‘ followed by this caption, ‘ CITY MUST OVERCOME THE SMALL SIZE, HIGH COSTS AND TALENT SHORTAGE TO STAND A CHANCE.’ A Chance ? Forced to ape Hollywood ?

    2. ‘ SINGAPORE SEEKS ANOTHER MIRACLE MAKER FOR THE NEXT PM.’ No Singaporean Genius has emerged since Lee Kuan Yew. Thanks to his 1972 2 Child Family Policy which gave rise to 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.

    3. ‘ POWER UNSHACKLED : SINGAPORE’S OPEN ELECTRICITY MARKET . SINGAPORE’S STEADY AND SECURED CAMPAIGN TO OPEN UP THE ELECTRICITY MARKET SINCE 2001.’ This is a copy-cat Policy of Germany in the 1990s. I wonder how the Senoko Power Station now fares competing with at least 6 other power stations with low electricity charges !

    The above facts reveal the latest state of Singapore’s wherewithal in relation to the future. There is nothing to look forward to except to hope for another Lee Kuan Yew to lead them out of the very bleak future. As yet, NO SINGAPOREAN GENIUS HAS EMERGED SINCE LEE KUAN YEW.

    4. ‘ CONSTITUTIONALLY CORRECT. POLITICALLY WRONG.’

    5. ‘ SOLE PREROGATIVE OF THE PRIME MINISTER AND IS COMPLETELY CONSTITUTIONAL UNDER PRESENT LEGAL ARRANGEMENTS.’

    This refers to Promise 14 of the PH Manifesto.

    There should have been a disclaimer attached to the Manifesto which said if the promises are found to be unconstitutional, PH should not be held responsible and any action which is legally constitution thereof should be made an exception to the promise.

    But the air is now filled with oxymoron statements by wise old men, naysayers, troublemakers, detractors and morons.

    I would like to point out to all and sundry that any POLITICAL MANIFESTO IS NOT ENGRAVED IN STONE OR IRON-CAST OR A GUARANTEE OF POLITICAL PERFORMANCE. AT BEST, A MANIFESTO IS ONLY A GUIDE WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT A RELIGIOUS TRACT OR POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY LIKE THE MEIN KAMPF OR THE LTTLE RED BOOK. So, what’s the fuss when everything is legal bar the shouting and screaming ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we Trust. Keep smiling.

21. Tun

    To provide more facts on the antics of our beloved Malaysia’s elite, here are some examples.

    1. I bumped into a high MAS official with round eyes and curly hair from Taiping who looked up to the ceiling of the tiny lift to avoid my gaze in an expensive luxury apartment block behind Harrods Knightsbridge London. The luxury block is the one with the fountain at the entrance along expensive Sloane Street. These facts I will not allege because I was there !

    2. It was alleged another high MAS official was red hot on some art in London and was using the MAS commercial liners like a private jet in his pursuit of these object d’art . I do not understand why he did not use his own pocket money to build up this collection of object d’art from 7,000 miles away ?

    3. Then, there was this MAS fellow who was alleged to have taken over the Full Board of Directors including the lady Director and in his zeal, he too bought a whole glass building near Harrods as his private abode. As you may discern, Tun, these luxury buildings are sited nearest to the Heathrow Airport as the crow flies.

    4. Why should MAS not be treated as a commercial concern when countries like The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Spain etc have no qualms to sell their FAILING NATIONAL AIRLINES TO OTHER COUNTRIES ? Too often flying at 30,000 feet could be an ADDICTION !

    5. THE MAS SHOULD NOT BE AN EXAMPLE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S 3 GENERATIONS OF FAILED ELITE which has cost the Nation a lot of money to keep it in the air. Not only that, its officials took a liking to the finest luxuries available in London for money.

    6. The relevant authorities’ major task is NATION BUILDING IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST. Definitely the MAS should not be used as a showpiece anymore which our beloved Malaysia now has plenty as created by you, Tun. Precious public money should benefit the agriculture industry, the aged, the neglected young, health and education issues.

    7. MAS and its officials has had their fun and games whilst the going was good in the 20th and early 21st Century.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

22. Tun

    What better topic to comment today than ‘The Elite and Elitism in Malaysia’?

    The Oxford Dictionary defines elite as ‘a group of people as the best in a particular society’ and elitism as ‘the belief that a society or system should be run by an elite’

    Developed countries have recognised the importance of elite and elitism to lead in politics and commerce at the very top. The education system was developed with elite schools and universities to nurture the elite.

    Since Independence in 1947, India has nurtured and enhanced the English language instead of suppressing it. There are clusters of institutions of higher learning in New Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore, Kolkatta and the rich fauna and flora region of Dehra Dun and Mussoorie at the foothills of the High Himalayas. The elite have not failed Mother India at times of crises or wars.

    Lee Kuan Yew in his zeal to create Singaporean geniuses through his 2 Child Family Policy 1972-1984, failed miserably. This produced 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 today. To this day, NO SINGAPOREAN GENIUS HAS EMERGED SINCE LEE KUAN YEW.

    When he discovered that Christ’s College was the best, he arranged places for Singaporeans and parachuted them in. There were no Singaporean Geniuses from this lot as well.

    In recent years, at least 10 Singaporeans who were Government Scholars were involved in sexual shenanigans of different kinds.

    In 2010 or thereabouts, a female ex-Oxbridge Government Scholar and her equally naked Caucasian boyfriend romped around the Holland Village one hot Saturday night. When she was asked,’ I was bored with my job.’ The Singapore Government was dumbfounded and dis not mete out any punishment.

    NO SINGAPOREAN GENIUS HAS EMERGED SINCE LEE KUAN YEW TO THIS DAY.

    And our beloved Malaysia’s elite ?

    I would comment that our beloved Malaysia’s elite had a penchant of shooting themselves in the foot and wiped themselves out through 3 generations ! How ?

    First, the BMF Scandal of 1982 wiped out the First Generation of Malaysian elite. The first signs of abuse by them were the incessant overseas travelling. In one trip, an elite not only made a round the World flight but visited the North and South Poles as well. Lavish penthouses were equipped with gold plated cutlery and bathroom utensils and much more. After the BMF Scandal, no Malaysian elite were left.

    Second, the Renong Scandal of 1997 wiped out the Second Generation of Malaysian elite whose high flying antics were the delight of the journalists and busy-bodies.

    One Malaysian ‘Onassis’ not only bought a painting made in Singapore but the whole Gallery and its lady curator as well.

    This lot of Renong period elite would kow-tow to our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at breakfasts in Langkawi. But as soon as the Tun was out of sight, it was out of mind. The Tun thought he was talking to them on the 88th Floor but actually these elite’s minds were in the basement.

    Not only that, I was called up suddenly by one anointed elite sitting in the UMNO owned NSTP Chair. He made me to waitt outside his NSTP Office for one full hour. Then, he called me into his office and said only these words, ‘ DO NOT VOTE AGAINST DATO T OF MYCOM.’ and dismissed me. I never knew this fellow from Adam. He now minds his little listed company which has assets worth more than the market price of his shares. By now it is legend that Malaysian closest aides and elite seemed to be overwhelmed by little things which bogged their minds.

    The Renong elite generation has gone forever.

    Finally, the 1MDB elite Generation which began LIFE from 2004-2018 with Danaharta.- With cogent examples of CORRUPTION amongst Malaysian elite beginning with Sime Darby, there was no holding back with what the Malaysian elite could do during this period of Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018. The Darkest Period of our beloved Malaysia’s History as dark as the night just before Dawn. Without exception, the whole phalanx of Malaysian elite was CORRUPTED except only ONE !

    Now how many Malaysian elite left to lead and govern our beloved Malaysia ? Whichever way I counted, I could only come up with 2, one aged 80 and another 40. The 3 Generations of Malaysian elite have shot themselves in the foot and abused their POWER which resulted in disqualifying them for any responsible Public tasks !

    Why did I bring these facts up ? IT IS THE MALAYSIAN CONSTITUTION.

    The Malaysian Constitution in no uncertain terms states that our beloved Malaysia is governed according to the precepts as laid down therein.

    THEREFORE, WITHOUT OR LACK OF MALAY OR BUMIPUTRA ELITE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA CANNOT PROGRESS FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES EVEN WITH MANY NON-MALAY ELITE ! It is as simple as this. It is as dangerous as this that our beloved Malaysia has NOT ENOUGH MALAY/BUMIPUTRA TO BE AT THE TOP OF THE HIERARCHY !

    Yet we are faced with demands everyday by those who should know best that it is not that straightforward to appoint a qualified person to any post in the Government. There are constraints and now with more constraints DUE TO THE UTTER ABSENCE OF MALAY/BUMIPUTRA ELITE AVAILABE EVEN AFTER 3 GENERATIONS since 1957 ! How ? Thanks to the brilliance and courage of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, he somehow managed to find these Malay/Bumiputra elite !

    It was a poignant remark when he recently admitted,’ His Cabinet could only garner 50% marks ! To my observation, he was generous and tolerant but with a full knowledge of the present situation arising from his appointed tasks of duty and responsibility.

    Yes ! To build up the Malay elite is a must. This is unavoidable because this is the golden mean by which all countries have been governed civilly and fairly through the Ages.

    And when the appointment of Latheefa Koya to be the Boss of MACC is put into perspective or context, this is poignant as well.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Many people love to talk every day without taking the Constitution into consideration. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

23. Tun

    It is a wonder why to this very day there are so many people who have stolen brazenly, blatantly and openly so much MONEY from the coffers of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs, have NO REGRETS AND REMORSE ?

    These people have no SHAME whatsoever about their dastardly deeds which took place at the expense of the years and years of hard-work by the Rakyat and the Prime Ministers whom they trusted and elected 1957-2003.

    The MONEY which these CROOKS have stolen could easily support 10 Emerging States in Africa as reported by the Annual Reports of the UN, IMF and the World Bank. RM 1 Trillion between 2002-2010 and another RM 500 Billion Between 2011-2018. And all these CROOKS were elected by the Rakyat on their SWORN PROMISES TO BETTER THE LIVES OF ALL IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA !

    How some people apparently with impeccable backgrounds of Status, Wealth and Connections be so UNCIVILISED as to go well beyond the pale and would have RAPED THE COUNTRY FINANCIALLY TO THE GROUND AND TURNED OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA INTO A TROPICAL SAHARA DESERT if you with your BRILLIANCE AND COURAGE DID NOT TAKE UP THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OUST THESE CROOKS WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE ?

    A long time ago, I realised that it is not easy to govern as an elected representative of the Rakyat in our beloved Malaysia because there would be SACRIFICES AND OTHER AS YET UNDETERMINED FACTORS OR TEMPTATIONS TO BEAR. I willingly gave up the State and Federal seats offered to me by the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak in 1969 and 1974 respectively. Those who came after me failed in their elected tasks.

    Not only the brazen, blatant and open thefts of the Rakyat’s WEALTH, these crooks WITHOUT REMORSE COULD ALSO LIE SO NATURALLY ON THE WAY TO THE COURTS. All of them were loaded with titles of various descriptions in recognition of their official status.

    HAVE ALL THESE CROOKS BE DOPED WITH SOME LETHAL UBAT ? Or what ?

    Not one or two crooks but a whole phalanx of crooks which reached out of the Cabinet of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs right down to the very last digit of the whole Governmental Structure, were involved.

    Our distinguished Tun Ismail Mohd.Ali would have commented that the STINK WOULD REACH THE MOON !

    Some might escape the Sword of Damocles.

    But none will escape HISTORY which is the Finest Arbiter of the Truth.

    Until you suggested I do some writing, I thought only perfunctorily of the role of historians in the universities. But after this, I discovered that HISTORY OF A COUNTRY, OF MEN AND WOMEN, is an important building block in any country, big or small.

    That the History professors and their departments are the Finest Arbiters of the Truth which a country and its peoples must learn from the goodness or pitfalls of the past – because of the frailty of the ways of Humankind like forgetting about events of only yesterday ! Therefore, a country with a STRONG SENSE OF HISTORY AND THE PAST DOINGS OF ITS CITIZENS have the WILL AND WHEREWITHAL TO DO GREAT THINGS IN THE FUTURE TO COME.

    It is at this point that our beloved Malaysia has arrived today to become ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

    Our beloved Malaysia has qualified to be one of the 4 most important countries of the World due to you, DSAI and the Team by your side.

    We all now have the paper qualification. But our beloved Malaysia has yet to BUILD UP ON ITS HARD-EARNED CREDENTIALS from now onwards to ETERNITY WHERE THERE IS NO BEGINNING OR ENDING. This is going to be one long march of SACRIFICE for all those who will be in COMMAND OF THE BELOVED MALAYSIA AT THE VERY TOP.

    Hence your eminent appointment of Latheefa Koya to be Boss of MACC is POIGNANT WITH MEANING.- A firm determination to reach for the Stars in the clear blue sky WITHOUT CORRUPTION. An ideal which deserved to be supported with both hands and all our hearts.

    CORRUPTION is the worst kind of malady ever affected Humankind and their Societies. Once the disease spreads, no one is exempted. Through the thousands of years, history has told us that Great Men and their Great Empires have fallen into dust and oblivion WITHOUT EXCEPTON.

    For all intents and purposes, our beloved Malaysia up to 9 May 2018 was already on her death-bed under INTENSIVE CARE. It is important for All Rakyat to know this bit of our history which was as DARK AS THE NIGHT BEFORE DAWN. A legacy from us to our successors and descendants so that WE WILL ALL HAVE A BETTER BELOVED MALAYSIA WITH FEWER THICK FACED CROOKS.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

24. Tun

    A very few minority of the wayward Opposition have grasped wrongly the issue of the excellent and proper appointment of Latheefa Koya as the Boss of MACC in order to raise the ire of the populace.

    They have not succeeded for the simple reason that these naysayers, troublemakers and detractors all have a vested interest IN HAVING A WEAK CHIEF OF MACC and not Latheefa Koya who is eminently suitable for this important job -TO CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

    These naysayers, troublemakers and detractors are scared to death of Latheefa Koya because of her excellent reputation as an Iron Lady.

    NOW SHE IS THE IRON LADY OF THE MACC.

    This will put FEAR INTO THE CROOKS WHO WILL BE CAUGHT, CHARGED IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

    Despite all the efforts of the good Lady, I am afraid CORRUPTION ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WILL ONLY BE CONTAINED EVEN IN CHINA.

    For this subject of Corruption in Singapore Vide. http://www.chedet.cc.org Archives ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’ September 2010.

    The more noise raised by the naysayers, troublemakers and the detractors the better BECAUSE TUN YOU HAVE SELECTED AND APPOINTED THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB !

    This is the best feedback of all from your experience.

    Some even absurdly commented grudgingly and with the taste of sour grapes in their mouths,’ Excellent appointment but procedures not followed.’ or ‘Excellent appointment but without merits.’

    IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO CALL SUCH OXYMORON STATEMENTS BY MORONS ‘ ? A flush of verbal diarrhoea by fake and self-appointed guardians of the piece wherever they are squatting. Some ex-MCA squatters too.

    To date, NO ONE HAS QUESTION THE COMPETENCE AND EFFICIENCY OF LATHEEFA KOYA. This is good.

    NIT PICKING BY THE NAYSAYERS, TROUBLEMAKERS AND DETRACTORS IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY. Some from the very people who used to pour the finest vitriol on you 2004-2017. YET THEY HAVE NOT LEARNT THEIR LESSONS IN MALAYSIAN REALPOLITIK. Too bad. Forever they will be barking up the wrong banyan tree !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Latheefa Koya is the right choice for MACC. In you we Trust. Keep smiling. The overwhelming majority are with you !

25. Tun

    As you have previously said that a week is a long time in Politics. events around the World in recent days have shown that our beloved Malaysia has a role to play as the fast escalation of the Sino-Amercian Trade War increases in intensity.

    We do not expect President Trump to ease up in his zeal to remain as the President when his term is up in 2020. Hence, he will keep the home fires burning to maintain support from his poor white supporters of the mid-West and the rust belts of America.

    Until the Democrats come up with a strong and charismatic contender for the Presidency, we will have to watch the tea leaves accordingly in our beloved Malaysia’s National Interest as a friend of all countries of the World.

    And the interesting headlines this morning thus :-

    1. ‘ CHINA WARNS AGAINST TRAVELLING TO THE UNITED STATES. ‘

    2. ‘ CHINESE STUDENTS CAUTIONED ABOUT STUDYING IN THE UNITED STATES.’

    1. China has warned its citizens not to travel to the United States as tourists in view of the shootings, robberies and assaults which have taken place in that country.

    A Chinese female graduate student was kidnapped and has been missing since. The trial of the suspected murderer is now on-going. There must have been many unfortunate cases affecting the Chinese.

    On this score, this is an opportunity for our Minister of Tourism and his Ministry to exhort our travel agents and their agencies to double their efforts to bring in the Chinese tourists as soon as possible because many other countries also have the same vision.

    MAS and Air Asia should be encouraged to do the same with their Chinese counterparts.

    This is now a good time to push for more Chinese tourists arrivals. Whatever mode of approach to increase the Chinese tourist volume should be encouraged as Malaysia has the best tourist infrastructures at the most attractive prices for all. The less red tape the better.

    2. For a similar reason as mentioned above and also an unspecified suspicion of all things Chinese have appeared in the institutions of higher learning in the United States.

    There have been reports of Chinese researchers being asked to leave in the middle of their course as it was alleged at the Emory University. Most Chinese university students are now treated as spies without substantiated evidence.

    Previous to this, there were scattered reports of negative treatments of Chinese students. There was a recent report that Trump would probe the Chinese students in the best universities of the United States like Harvard, Yale etc. Maybe with the intention of finding out how these Chinese students gained entry into them.

    Now our dynamic and motivated Minister of Education has ONE NEW IDEA and a zealous task ahead of him to exhort the Malaysian private colleges and universities of higher learning to offer their World Class standards to the Chinese students of China.

    This should be a combined effort to be effective.

    This is another area which you had created in your Vision of over 30 years ago and now the private colleges and universities are available to serve HUMANITY whenever there is a need LIKE THE DESIRE OF THE CHINESE STUDENTS OF CHINA TO BE EDUCATED IN PLACES OF HIGHER LEARNING IN MALAYSIA.

    These two factors of Chinese Tourists and Chinese Students of China are complimentary to both our countries being China and Malaysia. These are WIN-WIN situations for all concerned.

    Our beloved Malaysia should offer our well-known friendliness and hospitality to both the Chinese tourists and students at the present time when some countries do not welcome them.

    Like this, we Malaysians show to the World why our beloved Malaysia has become one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Strange to say some Malaysians with an INFERIORTIY COMPLEX deride this and still think Singapore is their OVERLORD ! I tell them without hesitation that they are probably from MARS or the MOON.

    As the saying goes, Tun,” The early bird catches the worm.”

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem. In you we Trust. Keep smiling.

    All in all, the Sino-China Trade War has created a witch-hunt against the mainland Chinese in America.

26. Tun

    Bravo to you with your golden touch in the appointment of LATHEEFA to be Boss of MACC. This was a master stroke which is now applauded by a HUGE MAJORITY OF THE RAKYAT who are just fed-up with the brazen and blatant RAPE of our beloved Malaysia’s financial resources by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs.

    A very small minority is against because of selfish political vested interests. These are the CROOKS.

    This financial RAPE of our beloved Malaysia’s financial resources was done not only by the Malaysian Leaderships 2004-2018 BUT FOREIGNERS WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL eg. the Eagle, the Rocks, the Avenue, the KTM, Chief Editor’s Chair of true blue UMNO owned NSTP (then I thought we were colonised by Singapore), Lee Kuan Yew’s TPPA/CPTPP Malaysia/Malays/SME Killer, the HSR where 99% of costs are borne by Malaysia because 99% of the action is on Malaysian soil. Stupid.

    For 14 years, what the knowledgeable Rakyat read and saw was just ONE BIG RAPE OF THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BY THE VERY PEOPLE WE ELECTED WHO TREATED ALL OF US AS STUPID like using the Government to lend billions of ringgits DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY WAY OF LETTERS OF GUARANTEE OR COMFORT to private individuals of NO STANDING or otherwise.

    A practice which was worse than a commercial bank because there was no collateral or solid business records provided by the Borrowers.

    Kudos to you again Tun.

    THIS TIME ROUND THERE ARE NO MORE CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES WHO COLLECTED BANKS, STRADIVARIUS VIOLINS, LISTED PUBLIC COMPANIES, ACRES OF BUKIT TUNKU LAND, BULLIED YOUR FRIENDS ETC and some wrapped themselves up with honorifics or titles. There were no exceptions but only TWO who did not create the scandals ! WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

    Your appointment of LATHEEFA for the top MACC job is brilliant and courageous.

    CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN. To quote Deng Xiao Peng,’ IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE CAT IS BLACK OR WHITE AS LONG AS IT CATCHES MICE.’

    For the very first time, I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY RAKYAT APPLAUD THIS SIGNIFICANT APPOINTMENT OF LATHEEFA AS THE BOSS OF MACC.

    The Rakyat are really sore with the WEALTH THEY LOST THROUGH OUTRIGHT THEFT OF THE GOVERNMENT’S MONEY WHICH REDUCED THE VALUES OF ALL ASSETS AND STANDARD OF LIVING IN OUR BELOVED MALALYSIA DOWN BY 30%-50% over a period of 14 years 2004-2018. This is supported by Reports of the UN, IMF and World Bank thus :-

    1. Between 2004-2010, an outflow of RM 1 Trillion overseas. And another RM 500 Billion between 2011 and 2018.

    2. Between 2004-2018, our beloved Malaysia’s Public Debt increased to RM 1 Trillion WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS HUGE EXPENDITURE OR DEBT.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem IN YOU WE TRUST, KEEP SMILING.

27. Tun

    Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fithri to you, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and all the Family.

    Without the crooked closest aides, the real men and women of our beloved Malaysia will now build and build the Wealth of the Nation once again and more.

    As one of the 4 most important small Nations of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia since 9 May 2018, our beloved Malaysia is now led by your brilliance and courage with DSAI and the Team by your side. Where else but Malaysia ?

    Here are some absorbing headlines of today, thus :-

    1. ” PM : BE THANKFUL FOR BEING ABLE TO CELEBRATE RAYA IN PEACE. ”

    This is self-explanatory. Only a deaf, dumb and blind person will not understand this simple message.

    2. ” NEW MACC CHIEF WILL SEND SHIVERS DOWN CROOKS’ SPINES _ NGOs.”

    A new leaf of governance with honour, transparency and justice. Good, very good.

    CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

    NO MORE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCS lending to private individuals and personal friends as though the Rakyats’ money belonged to their grand-fathers or mothers.

    3. AND SOMETHING WHICH IS UNBECOMING OF A FIRST WORLD STATE WHICH WAS INSPIRED BY (AS ALLEDGEDLY REPORTED) ‘FABRICATIONS ABOUT THE PAP ‘ of Singapore which has now the latest ANTI-FAKE NEWS LAW, thus the headlines allegedly from this source :-

    i) ” DR M touts (my italics) MALAYSIA AS DESTINATION FOR GLOBAL STUDENTS. ” with a colour pic of Dr M side by side with the following in the Facebook, thus

    ii) ” RAFIDAH SPEAKS OUT ON THE FLAWS OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM. ” with the worst pic ever taken of the dear Lady.

    Why are the governing political Singaporeans so unhappy and dislike our beloved brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd. Ali were both recently bestowed with the highest academic honours by the National University of Singapore, the best in Asia ?

    The incongruity between the headlines of today and the pukka honours of yesterday does not seem to jive with sentiments as expressed in such a tiny place like Singapore.

    In fact, snide remarks and attacks have been lavished on our beloved brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad since he with DSAI and the Team ousted the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs since 9 May 2018.

    Is the real reason for unwarranted attacks and snide remarks which emanated from the heart core of Singapore’s seat of Power arose from GROSS UNHAPPINESS WITH THE NON-RATIFICATION OF THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS/SME KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP ? The final legacy of Lee Kuan Yew for his inheritors which he thought would save Singapore from a very bleak future ? Or whatever reasons, we Malaysians could not think of ?

    AS FAR AS I AM AWARE OUR BELOVED BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD IS NOT ANTI-SINGAPORE OR SINGAPOREAN LIKE MYSELF. AND HE DID NOT LIFT A SINGLE FINGER TO INTERVENE, INTERFERE OR DENIGRATE SINGAPORE’S INTERESTS, SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTERESTS. If at all, he had a RESPONSIBILITY AND DUTY TO SAFEGUARD THE SOVERIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT. No more. No less.

    To allegedly fake Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s real intentions by a MISLEADING HEADLINE AS PRODUCED BY Fabrications about PAP is mischievous and downright unbecoming of an apparatus of a First World county WHEN TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WAS REFERRING TO MALAYSIA’S TERTIARY EDUCATION OF WORLD CLASS STANDARD PRIVATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN MALAYSIA FOUNDED BY HIM IN THE 1980s and the 1990s.

    Yet, the Fabrications about PAP juxtaposed YB Tan Sri Rafidah’s honest comments on MALAYSIA’S DOMESTIC OR NATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEM WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRIVATE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSTIES OF WORLD CLASS STANDARD AS MENTIONED BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD.

    The intention of the warped mind of the perpetrator from Singapore is clear, very clear – that is we Malaysians are stupid and do not know what we are talking about.

    For starters, if we Malaysians are stupid, we would not be ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA ! And here are some factual information about Singapore :-

    1. According to the Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population 2011, there are 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50 in an indigenous population of 3.2 Million with 1.2 Million FTs and 800,000 PRs. Since 1972, NO SINGAPOEAN GENIUS HAS EMERGED YET !

    2. It was NOT Malaysia who caused the LOSS OF SINGAPORE’S QUESIONABLE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989.

    It was Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel of 1990, ‘ Globalization. Free Trade, Human Rights.’

    These were not only anathema to Singapore’s interests but in one fell swoop by the BRICS (then with Uncle Sam’s blessings) the whole of Singapore’s lucrative QUESTIONABLE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADE OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 WAS TAKEN OVER BY THE BRICS AND GONE FOREVER.

    This hurt erupted in 2002 when Singapore’s first technical recession appeared. since 2002,

    Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% GDP from 2002-2018 – 17 years as a First World country but could achieve a fizzy 7% as a Third World country because of the Cold War 1948-1989.

    Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 INITIATIVES TO SAVE HIS LEGACY FOR HIS INHERITORS BEING TEMASEK. FT IMPORTS, 2 CASINOS AND THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS/SME KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP failed since 2006.

    3. In recent days, Singapore’s PMI fell below 50 and the GDP for the rest of 2019 will only be 1.9 % as reported with signs of a weakening manufacturing industry.

    IT IS COMMONSENSE THAT THE MISFORTUNES WHICH HAD BEFALLEN (even with free water paid for by Malaysia and all the free Malaysian goodies garnered by Singapore 2004-2018 through hot relationships and private retreats) OUR FRIEND SINGAPORE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MALAYSIA OR OUR BELOVED BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD.

    We always wish Singapore and her citizens well.

    In fact, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad did not lie when he remarked that Singapore and Malaysia are conjoint twins. Believe it or not.

    If at all, I have always commented that Singapore should leave her 20th Century thinking and moves behind in the past because the 21st Century is another day and this has caused Singapore time, money and distraction dangerously as events now unfold.

    4. The weakness of Singapore arose from Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel “Globalization. Free Trade. Human Rights” which licenced the BRICS to trade freely and globally so much so that President Trump tried to roll this back. And Singapore was caught in a MULTI-POLAR WORLD AND GOT LOST IN THE WASH INSTEAD OF A MONOPOLISTIC AND UNILATERAL WORLD OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 WHEN SHE WAS THE BLUE EYED BOY OF THE WEST ! This unfortunate experience of Singapore is best illustrated by :

    ” THE AMERICANS FORGET EASILY. THE BRITISH TRY NOT TO FORGET. THE FRENCH NEVER FORGET. THE CHINESE NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET. THE MALAYSIANS FORGIVE AND FORGET.” Singapore became the only casualty of the Post Cold War World 1990-2019. And she will remain so if she avoids the REALPOLIK NOW EVOLVING.

    And the answers to Singapore’s present DILEMMA is not Malaysia or the tomes in Borders or Kino but hidden in the deep recesses of Singapore’s elites brains. THINK !

    How come A THIRD WORLD SINGAPORE COULD ACHIEVE A FIZZY 7% GDP (1948-1996) and a FIRST WORLD SINGAPORE COULD NOT BREACH 3% GDP WITH ALL THE TRAPPINGS OF A FIRST WORLD STATE 2002-2019 ?

    Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad an honourable, honest and just person has mentioned that it is time for ASEAN to work together for the common good.

    In other words, FORGET ABOUT THE NIT-PICKING AND GO FOR THE BROAD STROKES OF SUCCESS FOR ALL IN ASEAN BECAUSE YESTERDAY WAS YESTERDAY AND TODAY IS TODAY AS ONE UMNO TAN SRI TOLD ME. This one secret why our beloved brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is so successful.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always! No problem because your mind-set has always been to go for the BROAD STROKES BRILLIANTLY AND COURAGEOUSLY. In you we trust. Keep smiling. NO NIT-PICKING WE ARE MALASIANS !

28. Tun

    As more horror stories emerged concerning the unfettered financial indiscipline of a governance with no checks and balances by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally corrupt elites and its GLCs, how many Malaysians are aware that the following have never been done by any Government around the World but only in Malaysia ?

    1. A renowned Malay FELDA Trust Group buying the assets of the FOREIGN FRIEND OF THE PRIME MINISTER BY WAY OF A PRIVATE DEAL AT OVER THREE TIMES THE LISTED MARKET PRICE WITHOUT VALUATION AS ALLEGED ?

    2. In 1MDB, a total stranger in his early twenties was permitted to HANDLE RM 42 BILLION GOVERNMENT GUARANTEED MONEY BORROWED FROM THE BANKS WITH THE PRIME MINISTER AS ADVISER AS ALLEGED.

    3. In KWAP, ALL THE OFFICERS INVOLVED KNEW OF THE PRIME MINISTER’S REQUEST FOR RM 2.4 BILLION BUT NOT AN ORDER. YET THE RM 2.4 BILLION WAS RELEASED WITHOUT PROPER DOCUMENTATION AS ALLEGED.

    4. In the NFC scandal, THE BN OOVERNMENT WAS THE FIRST IN THE WORLD TO LEND MONEY TO A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL LIKE A COMMERCIAL BANK BUT WITHOUT THE NORMAL REQUIREMENT OF SECURITY AND SOLID BUSINESS RECORD AS ALLEGED. This showed the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs IMMATURITY.

    Not only that if the Borrower had put the RM 253 Million into a financial institution which gave them a 8% per annum TAX FREE return, these folks would have just sat on their backsides and collected the RM 22 Million per annum TAX FREE and ex-gratis from the BN Government. But instead they spent and spent on condos and Mercs all over the shop as alleged. This showed the IMMATURITY OF THE BORROWER.

    THE IMMATURITY OF THE LENDER AND THE IMMATURITY OF THE BORROWER CAUSED BOTH TO LOSE ALL THE MONEY. Otherwise, the folks could have returned the CAPITAL to the New and Incorruptible Government 2004-2018 and kissed the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs good buy.

    5. It is alleged billions of ringgits were paid for KIM ENG SECURITIES SINGAPORE WHICH THE OWNER, (SISTER-IN-LAW OF LEE KUAN YEW AND SECOND WIFE OF HIS BROTHER, CREATED WITH JUST A PAPER LICENCE AND NO ASSETS) by Maybank through the fellow who is NOW THE NEWLY APPOINTED VICE-CHANCELLOR OF A REPUTABLE UNIVERSITY IN MALAYSIA. Many other Singaporean broker would have been happy to sell for a song in those difficult times after October 2008 !

    IMMATURITY BREEDS IMMATURITY WITH NO CHECKS AND BALANCES !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

29. Tun,

    A fond saying of P P Narayanan if you recall him who was the Leader of the Malaysian Union Movement for many years, was, ‘ Opportunity arises from Crisis.’

    When events turned for the better in our beloved Malaysia since 9 May 2018, I have been exceedingly happy even though I was aware that the wealth of ALL THE RAKYAT had been reduced by at least 30% to 50% in just 14 years, by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs.

    With the New and Incorruptible Government firmly under your hands with DSAI and the Team by your side, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat can onky rise again to GREATER HEIGHTS OF ENDEAVOUR AND ACHIEVEMENT. The Good will prevail over the Bad.

    To begin with, we are all in good health and spirits to do this arduous job which has been entrusted upon us by the Corrupt BN Government which permitted our National Debt to rise to RM 1 Trillion from 2004-2018.

    Not only that RM 1.50 Trillion was permitted to be siphoned out of the country during 2002-2018. Vide. UN, World Bank, IMF Reports. And another 1,000,000 barrels of oil from sanctioned Saddam Hussein into a private individual hands. Vide UN Report which named this fellow as heading its List.

    With this outflow of money, our beloved Malaysia was literally bled to death bringing the fall of THE VALUES OF ALL ASSETS BELONGING TO THE RAKYAT INCLUDING THE RINGGIT.

    Hence, NOT ONLY THE MALAYS ARE POORER BY AT LEAST 50% but ALSO THE CHINESE, THE INDIANS AND ALL. No person can escape this blood letting induced by the constant outflow of money OUT OF THE MALAYSIAN FINANCIAL SYSTEM WHICH WERE CONDUCTED BY A VERY FEW ! This money is now lying IDLE IN THE BANKS OF THE HOST COUNTRIES INSTEAD OF BEING UTILISED FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S DEVELOPMENT CREATING JOBS AND BETTER SALARIES AND STANDARD OF LIVING- RM 1.5 TRILLION IN FOREIGN HANDS ! The Rakyat became poor due to the Auto-Pilot Policy of the Prime Ministers whom they elected between 2004-2018.

    Hence, the Japanese being well-informed just left Malaysia for other countries. Who wants to do business in a Corrupt country which CORRUPTION REDUCES THE PROFIT MARGINS WHICH IS UNTENABLE ESPECIALLY IN MANUFACTURING ?

    Look what happened to Proton with all the crook closest aides lining their pockets from padding wheel rims, waste sales, radios, plastic windscreens, pumps etc. All purchases were corruptly padded. How to make money like this ? The Proton Concept was perfect but the closest aides were SELF-SERVING.

    To quote P.P. Narayanan again, ‘ OPPORTUNITY ARISES FROM CRISIS.’

    With a solid political base which bolsters the New and the Incorruptible Government, the attraction for local and foreign investors is great especially our beloved MALAYSIA HAS NOW BECOME ONE OF 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

    Only Malaysia has a clean and transparent slate for all investors at the moment.

    Thus, when a headline like the following indicates the great potential of Malaysia’s attraction to foreign investors. Also, it should be the harbinger of better things to come due to the increasing intensity of Trade Wars as Trump rolls back Uncle Sam’s Post-Cold War 1948-1989 hegemonic spiel, ‘GLOBALIZATIOIN, FREE TRADE, HUMAN RIGHTS.’ which has become as important as the dodo bird in the eyes of certain Americans. And Singapore is the ONLY CASUALTY !

    ” JAPANESE CORPORATION GIANTS PLEDGE TO EXPAND INVESTMENTS IN MALAYSIA SAYS DR M.”

    Since 2003, the Japanese presence was replaced by South Korean’s which focussed on the retail trade of our business environment. Some attempts were made to penetrate light industrial set-ups like Proton by using Bumiputra proxies. But with the return of the Japanese Sogososhas, their investments will be meaningful if a firm assurance that Japanese investments in Malaysia will always be welcome and not neglected like by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs.

    NO INVESTOR LIKES TO DEAL WITH A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT BECAUSE IN MANUFACTRING THERE IS NO MARGIN FOR CORRUPTION BECAUSE OF COMPETITION IN PRICING AND QUALITY. Hence the JAPANESE INVESTORS MOVED AWAY FROM MALAYSIA BETWEEN 2004-2018 AS THEIR BUSINESS CULTURE DOES NOT PERMIT HANKY-PANKY. I know them well. I learnt from the Japanese in the 1960s.

    Therefore, with all things being equal, MALAYSIA MUST NOW MAKE STRENUOUS EFFORTS TO TELL NOT ONLY THE JAPANESE BUT ALSO THE WORLD THAT THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE WARMLY WELCOMES ALL BONA FIDE INVESTORS TO MALAYSIA. This is the NUB. This is the RUB.

    Anyone now found to HINDER THE PROCESS OF SMOOTH AND FREE MOVEMENT OF FOREIGN AND LOCAL INVESTMENTS SHOULD BE CHARGED IN COURT AND GIVEN 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN. Malsysia once had 10 doors to enter. Behind each door a smiling and hospitable Malaysian will smile and reply, ” No problem’ when asked. But this is where the problem begins. Unlike Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore etc has only ONE door to enter. Then in Malaysia the problem was to find the right door eg. Lynas experience ?

    With the minimum of red-tape, Malaysia has many areas which are suitable and cheap with good labour for investors seeking shelter in a safe haven like in the Northern Territories of Penang mainland, Kedah, Perak, etc. Sabah and Sarawak and the FTZs which dot the Peninsula. Any special requirement should be seriously considered in the National Interest.

    With ASEAN which by chance has become a safe haven for manufacturing, trade and finance to the World being located between the peace-loving Nations of West Asia and East Asia. It is now time for the ASEAN countries with our beloved Malaysia at its HUB promote and organise beneficial projects for themselves and the World. As P.P. Narayanan often quoted, ‘ OPPORTUNITY ARISES FROM CRISIS.’ ASEAN and Malaysia will prevail.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we Trust. Our beloved Malaysia will prevail. Keep smiling.

30. Tun

    In the media, we read about the US-China Trade War is about to intensify or the US-EU Trade War will begin soon or Mexico does not want a Trade War with the US. Most of the Malaysians are wondering what on earth is happening and why suddenly Trade Wars cropped up all over. The reason again rests with history, the importance of history for Humankind affairs. History is the finest arbiter of the Truth.

    It all began after the implosion of Communism in 1989 which was the result of the Cold War 1948-1989.

    During the Cold War 1948-1989, it was one Super Power the United States against another the Soviet Union. Trade was clearly defined in black and white as was the politics. Many dictators all over the World were supported by the United States.

    It was during this Cold War 1948-1989 that Lee Kuan Yew could inveigle the best Questionable and Unmentionable Deals or Trades for Singapore. This huge largesse pushed Singapore from the Third to the First World by the 1990s which he bragged about in his book of the same title.

    But Singapore is only a tiny place in the Pax America scheme of things.

    In post-Cold War 1990, Uncle Sam came out with his hegemonic spiel, “Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights” which were anathema to Singapore governance. But this gave immediate licence to the BRICS to grab Singapore’s Monopoly in the Questionable and Unmentionable Trades which were very profitable. But it was the Normal Trades with the United States which were both the icing and the cake – as foreign goods maybe imported tariff free or with nominal tariff.

    All major countries of the World and the BRICS from 1990 to 2018 chalked up hefty trading surpluses with the United States.

    Countries like China could amass up to US$ 2-3 Trillion in reserves of which part was in US Treasury Bills.

    At this point, President Trump in order to safe-guard his support in the poor white industrial areas of America could whip up support by pointing his finger at the foreign bogeymen who stole their jobs amongst many other intangible factors which he has since revealed.

    The first target was China which was easy to understand for his electorates.

    And President Trump will exploit this Tariff War according to the waxing and waning of his political support. Other side Trade Wars with Japan, EU, Mexico etc., he could involve them according to his political needs.

    Since the Trade War has been politicised by President Trump, this is going to be of long duration. The end result is as yet unknown with the judges still out. In the meantime, the World waits with anticipation and anxiety which are not good for business. With America giving up its fight for the Freedom of others but only for herself according to President Trump. There is a diplomatic saying thus ,

    “The Americans forget easily. The British try not to forget. The French never forget. The Chinese never never never forget. The Malaysians forgive and forget.’

    Against this back-drop of America’s intentions, we have the following headlines recently :-

    1. ” DR M SAYS ‘HUAWEI GETS MALAYSIA’S SUPPORT’ OR ‘LYNAS MAY CARRY ON WITH ITS RARE EARTH MINING’ OR ‘TRADE WARS ARE STUPID’ OR ‘MAYBE THE GOLD STANDARD BE ADOPTED FOR TRADE’. ”

    What our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad commented are based on Sovereignty and National Interest coupled with Common Sense.

    Like this our beloved Malaysia’s all round interests are safe-guarded in the interests of the Rakyat. In other words, our Foreign Policy is expected to be friends of all countries.

    Unlike the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 with its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs which every Policy move it made was to benefit Singapore or the self-interests of individuals eg. from the rocks via the Avenue to the UMNO NSTP Chief Editor’s Chair for a hard-core PAP cadre and more.- culminating in the signing of the Lee Kuan Yew creation – the TPPA/CPTPP – Malaysia/Malays/SME Killer. Vide chedet.cc.org. Archives ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’ September 2010.

    At times like these, the headlines from Singapore thus,

    2. ” SINGAPORE LEAPFROGS HONG KONG AND US TO BECOME WORLD’S MOST COMPETITVE ECONOMY. ”

    Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% GDP for 16 years 2002-2018 despite Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives – Temasek, imported FTs, 2 casinos, the TPPA/CPTPP Malaysia/Malays/SME Killer which all failed as at 2019.

    3. ” SINGAPORE IS 8TH MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN ASIA PACIFIC.”

    Thanks to Singapore, Malaysia is just listed behind at 9th !

    4. ” SOUTH EAST ASIA GIVEN NEW LEVERAGE AS CHINA AND US BATTLE OF INFLUENCE.”

    These Singaporean concocted headlines would have impressed those who are not aware that

    OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA since 9 May 2018.

    Malaysia is the most important strategically and geo-politically with a New and Incorruptible Government which has a strong democratic mandate from the Rakyat.

    As the Nexus of ASEAN, Malaysia’s influence will be all pervasive and enduring politically not only in Asia but the World supported by her peoples who are known to be successful developers of an emerging country with the exception of the Dark Ages of Malaysia’s history 2004-2018 when the 2 Prime Ministers who were unlike their distinguished and honourable predecessors the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad – 1957-2003, who worked hard and left behind a rich and wealthy country as at 2003. By 2018, Malaysia was up to her eve-balls in debts over RM 1 Trillion WITH NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.

    Taking all the facts as mentioned above, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat are fortunate that the country is now governed by the New and Incorruptible Government as led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

    To confirm the good tidings, just read again the barren Singaporean headlines which are actually based on intangible information and not on real substantive facts.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Where else but Malaysia ?.

31. I am pretty sure that soon the entire island of Penang will smell like a giant wet market.

32. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS. My friend, I do not know what surprised you most arising from my Comments in this distinguished Blog. As I said before I only present the facts which were available to me so that ALL will understand the STORY behind the headline like the Lee Kuan Yew’s creation the TPPA.CPTPP/Malaysia Killer/Malays/SME Killer. What I commented is not slanderous and libellous which I avoid stringently always. What I mentioned is STRICTLY FACTUAL which anyone may obtain from historical records anywhere. No more. No less. Why do I do it ?

    THE BEST FORM OF SHOOTING DOWN ANY LIE IS TO PRESENT THE TRUE FACTS, my friend.

    For example, many asked me not to mention Lee Kuan Yew since he is dead.

    MY REPLY WAS THAT IF THIS COURSE OF ACTION IS FOLLOWED, WE MIGHT AS WELL SACK ALL THE HISTORY PROFESSORS AND THEIR DEPARTMENTS SINCE THEIR ONLY SUBJECTS ARE DEAD PEOPLE. See the logic. See the emotion blinding factual resoning.

    History is the Finest Arbiter of the Truth, my friend TWIN PEAKS. Without History to guide us, the Government, the Political Leaders will always make the same mistakes like collecting 10,000 Rolex, over and over again.

    This is also why I said to Tun, ‘IN YOU WE TRUST’ with the full knowledge that he is steeped in information and knowledge during this critical period of our beloved Malaysia’s history.

    To have our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to take up the RESPONSIBITLITY to put Malaysia’s self-inflicted problems on an even keel can only be attributed to the Will of God and Tun’s character of honour, integrity and justice.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. IN YOU WE TRUST> Keep smiling.

33. Tun

    First I wish you “Bon Voyage” on your visit to Japan for 3 days to attend this important International Forum to be held in Tokyo. As reported, you will give an important speech at the Forum.

    Second, as always there are matters of concern which affect us the Rakyat here and there in this vast land of our beloved Malaysia, thus :-

    ” FISH BREEDERS IN TROUBLED WATERS ”

    The troubled waters being the sea off Teluk Bahang, Penang. This is May 2019 news. But the story is much deeper and longer than this.

    In 1966, under the auspices of the Chief Minister of Penang, Wong Pow Nee, my friend Tan Seng Keat who was the Head of the DID Penang and was also the Commandant, Auxiliary Police, Penang was sent my the Penang Government to Honolulu, Hawaii to study whether their sewerage system be installed in Penang’s George Town. He found the Honolulu System too expensive for Penang. That was that. Fast trek to the mid-1980s.

    In the mid-1980s, the Senior Tutor of my college went for a swim off the Batu Ferringhi beach. He told me that after the swim, his whole body itched. I smiled and did not say anything.

    For the cognoscenti, it is a well-known fact that the raw sewerage of George Town has been flowing Northwards with the current towards Tanjong Bungah, Batu Ferringhi and Teluk Bahang since the founding of George Town by Francis Light in the 18th Century.

    Before the huge concrete developments from the reclaimed sea at Tanjong Bungah, the hills behind Batu Ferringhi and maybe Teluk Bahang, there were no sewerage trickling down to the sea in these places. But now with the pace of developments of condos and other dwellings over the last 30 years, the total sewerage which flows to the open sea to join up with that from George Town must really add up to a very high pollution content of the off-shore sea by raw sewerage.

    Yet the Penang State Government has not made any move to remove the raw sewerage altogether from its adjunct sea waters and is mum on this important health, environmental and tourist matter.

    The Master Plan which is out of date does not mention about removing raw sewerage totally from the sea like Honolulu, Hawaii.

    The Plan apparently called for spending billions of ringgits on reclaiming 3 islands, a Highway and a Tunnel which should all be scrapped and replaced by the New Proposals to create Revenue for Penang.

    Lee Kuan Yew never borrowed a single cent for the modernisation of Singapore. He could clean up the smelly Singapore River as well which he showed you.

    The New Proposals call for the installation of proper equipment to remove the raw sewerage like Honolulu, Hawaii. The money would be forthcoming from the utilization of the 3 Gold mines of Penang being the Old Bayan Lepas Airport, the Old George Town and the Butterworth Airfield maybe with a subsidy from the Federal Government using the best Asian Technology now available.

    If the RAW SEWERAGE NOW POLLUTING THE VITAL AREAS OF PENANG LIKE TANJONG BUNGAH, BATU FERRINGHI, TELUK BAHANG IS NOT TREATED, SOONER OR LATER, THE POLLUTION WILL OVER-WHELM THE ECO-SYSTEM NOW IN EXISTENCE LIKE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE REARING OF FISH IN TELUK BAHANG. Then, all the sea water becomes TOXIC AND UNFIT FOR HUMAN ACTIVITY OF ANY KIND.

    FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED.

    With the coming of the GAME CHANGER KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS IN PENANG, KEDAH, PERLIS, PERAK, KELANTAN AND TRENGGANU, the huge developments so generated will definitely assist in modernising the ancient George Town Sewerage System for the good of ALL the Rakyat.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling.

34. Just to add a biting comment to all these nonsense. While Sabah is glad that it is part of a nation that aspires to become a developed country unlike Indonesia and the Philippines, I cannot help but say what I see. So, if Tun does not agree with what I say, then I have nothing else to add for fear of a backlash.
    When I studied in England since my childhood, over the years until I graduated, I noticed that in Europe, their citizens Expect a Very Clean place to live in and a country that is free of immigrants from non-Western countries. In Japan, their citizens Expect a Very Clean place to live and a country that is free of immigration from any country.
    But here is the difference that I noted.. In Europe, they Expect their governments to take care of these matters, and they think that it is (primarily) Not their individual duties to look after the environment or disallow non-Western immigration. IN SHORT, EUROPEANS WILL BLAME EVERYTHING ON THEIR GOVERNMENTS. If you don’t believe me, just observe the nature of their constant street protests against their governments. This they call Civil Society and they said very healthy too (just the way a democracy should work, they say). In fact, Malaysians have caught up with this culture in recent years, and we call them Bersih 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. (and we say this is how a healthy democracy should work too).
    However in Japan (and I cannot think of another country like it), the ordinary citizens don’t complain to their government if they themselves forget to collect litters thrown by foreign visitors on the streets. They will gladly behave like a cleaner and find the nearest garbage bin. And they feel proud of this it. Also, they don’t wait for their government to tell them Not to allow workers from Bangladesh and Myanmar or America and Europe, to steal the menial dirty jobs that they themselves can do. And they feel proud of this behaviour.
    Finally, over here IN Malaysia (and unfortunately.. also Sabah now), I notice that Not only people don’t blame the local councils and state/federal governments if the 100 year old raintrees are razed along Jalan Tun Razak to make way for an elevated superhighway, I fact people encourage them to do it (citing not enough roads for their cars, etc). On the environment, we don’t hear the average citizens proudly help to clean the streets of litters like the Japanese, or complaining to the local councils of why there is so much haze, IN FACT the average citizen in this country will spit on the streets and shopkeepers leave open/smelly garbage on the roadsides like in Manila and Jakarta, housewives just find the nearest streams or monsoon drains to unload their unwanted household garbage. The only place that is kept cleaned is their own condominium units. And they just shrug and say.. well everyone does it. Make money and live for today, and let the kids look after tomorrow.. tomorrow is not our concern. (I think you get my drift).
    On citizenship, this country is like a shopping mall. Anyone can come and Anyone can stay. Malaysia is Open for the whole world. And even better, if they come to do the dirty works that very few in this country are willing to do. Imagine a Malaysian parent saying.. “Well son, if you want to grow up to become a low-paid security guard, you have my blessing and I will send you to get a degree in Security Guardship. You don’t have to become a Doctor if you don’t want to”.

35. I PRAY that you were just joking, Mubarakchan. It is not April Fool’s Day, you know.

36. That is just unbelievable if what you had just said is true about the imported plastic waste and radioactive waste allowed into this country, of all places on earth. I just don’t know what to say.. I am speechless !!
    We keep saying that we are going to beat everyone else and become a developed country by 2020 or whatever, then we ALLOW other people’s garbage in? What is this nonsense??
    Do we even realise that developed countries of the west even PAY developing countries to accept undesirable refugeesfrom non-Western countries like Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar? And we take them in and treat them with hospitality. Humanitarian and foolish? Or both? I better stop saying anymore now.. I have lost my appetite.

37. Tun

    I have made some Comments that the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs have brought our beloved Malaysia down to her knees during 2004-2018. Here are some headlines which confirmed this DISGRACEFUL LACK OF SELF-RESPECT AND HONOUR thus :-

    1. ” PLASTIC WASTE FROM BANGLADESH FOUND SHIPPED TO MALAYSIA ” Even Bangla looked down on Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs.

    2. ” 60 CONTAINERS OF PLASTIC WASTE IMPORTED BY ‘TRAITORS’ TO BE SENT BACK. ” Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

    3. ” MALAYSIA TO SHIP 400 TONNES PLASTIC WASTE BACK TO COUNTRIES OF ORIGIN. ” Return to Sender and send them the Bill.

    4. ” NOT WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION TO ASCERTAIN PLASTIC WASTE ORIGIN SAYS PERAK ENVIRONMENTAL DEPT.” Then let the Dept be closed down since they do not know what they are supposed to do and transfer the whole lot out of cosy Ipoh. It was widely reported even on the BBC that this waste came from England with English markings.

    The headlines are not only DISGRACEFUL BUT ALSO SHOW THE UTTER WEAKNESS OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND THE GLCs – a situation which involved the Government from the top to the bottom.

    The utter Corruption of the Customs Dept. Malaysia is for all to see as the front-line entry culprit who permitted the STINKING WASTE TO LAND ON OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S SHORES. EVEN BANGLADESH TOOK PART IN THIS DISGRACEFUL CAPER OF CORRUPTION AND FRAUD.

    All such wastes should be send back to the countries of origin with a hefty Bill as costs. AND IF GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY SUE THE CULPRITS BOTH AT HOME AND ABROAD.

    CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

    Kudos to the YB Minister who showed courage to expose this wanton Scandal which denigrated the RESPECTED AND HONOURABLE STANDING OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. This also shows the Corrupt BN Government had sunk so low as to be SMEARED OVER BY THE STINKING WASTES DUMPED HERE BY COUNTRIES LIKE BANGLADESH !

    Dumping of wastes from ships have been going on for years around our sea waters like at the mouth of the Sungei Tinggi, Johor. Such culprits must not only be fined but jailed as well – a couple of years jail will scare off the rest.

    It is alleged even this Australian firm at Kuantan had pretensions of doing the same. This time the waste is RADIOACTIVE. Recently, it was alleged that this RADIOACTIVE WASTE COULD REPLACE PHOSPHATE IN OUR HORTI-CULTURE. We are not stupid Malaysians anymore.

    WHY THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO TAKE BACK THIS RADIOACTIVE WASTE IF IT IS NOT RADIOACTIVE ? With radioactivity in all our vegetables and fruits, all Malaysians will be irradiated and all our babies will be born with one eye or 3 legs. Stupid.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

    Our beloved Malaysia was so weak between 2004-2018 it became the RUBBISH DUMP OF THE WORLD with the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs saying, ‘ THANK YOU VERY MUCH ‘ because the words SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST WERE NEVER IN THEIR VOCABULARY !

38. Tun

    The World has never been a quiet place. If a person cares to refer back to the news of the World in the 1930s or even the 1920s, war and destruction happened as in the late 20th or early 21st Century. Is this the ways of Humankind – forever the strong bullying the weak ?

    Fortunately, due to our wise and caring Governments 1957-2003, as led by the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, our beloved Malaysia could maintain and sustain Peace, Harmony and Prosperity from 1957 to 2003.

    Their predecessors,, the 2 Prime Ministers during 2004 to 2018 brought our beloved Malaysia down to her knees and her Rakyat suffered from total neglect as regards jobs, better salaries, low cost of living, affordable homes, and a better life style for their children and themselves. This lasted 14 years.

    Our beloved Malaysia was on the cusp of total disarray and chaos like any Third World country because the TPPA the Malaysia/Malays Killer/SME was signed by the last BN Prime Minister but not ratified. Treachery by ignoring our Sovereignty and National Interest abound 2004-2018.

    The Rakyat even some to this very day, did not believe that the top Leadership could cheat them en masse. This did happen in our beloved Malaysia of all places by people from good backgrounds, rich and apparently educated.

    That was yesterday. And today is today as one UMNO Tan Sri once told me.

    Today’s headline, thus :-

    ‘ MALAYSIA TO ENTER 10 NEW HALAL MARKETS VIA CHINA’S OBOR INITIATIVES. ”

    This viable and profitable avenue of export of halal products should have been promoted as long ago as 2004.

    But with all the non-governmental activity going on at the top then, who had the time, inclination and energy to think about what was best for the Rakyat like setting up factories producing halal products for export ?

    This left a gap of 14 years of inaction. 14 years of loss revenue, jobs for the Rakyat and experience in overseas markets. For the many who work hard for a living, this is a suffering difficult to bear UNLIKE THOSE WHO JUST STEAL FROM THE RAKYAT’S GOVERNMENT COFFERS via direct means or the Corrupt GLCs.

    Malaysia is the best country to produce halal goods being a Muslim country with a majority of Muslim inhabitants through exporting such goods World-wide. Already there are so many brands available which one can see at the supermarkets.

    The lack of oomph, drive and energy must rest at the top Governmental Leadership 2004-2018. This resulted in the absence of any tangible halal exports overseas.

    A few Comments ago I suggested that FELDA is the best candidate to go into production of halal products in a big way. Of course, its plantations have to be restructured sooner or later after the entity had been financially destroyed with a RM 14 Billion debt by crooks.

    FELDA may own farms in Australia and New Zealand and transport the products via their own ships for processing in factories located at the ports. And also stick strictly to the oil palm plantations which should be managed strictly as plantations and not as saving banks for crooks. This should be the future success story of FELDA.

    2. ” EXCELLENT GRADES FAIL STUDENT ”

    This is a perennial story which should not be permitted to appear in the media if a caring incumbent Government cares about its Rakyat. This should not happen at all. All countries educate all their citizens these days – right up to the Tertiary Stage if possible. Failing a student at exams is not the norm in all cases unlike 70 years ago when scholarships and places were difficult to come by.

    EDUCATION SHOULD NOT BE POLITICISED ANYWHERE ON THIS GLOBE.

    ” SIMPLY SENSATIONAL.” or ” FORMER WUSHU CHAMP TO TRAIN NATIONAL SQUAD ” or ” WONDER WOMEN ”

    These headlines reflect the meritocratic achievements of our sports men and women.

    Malaysia has a long history in the sporting World since winning the Silver Medal at hockey in Melbourne in 1956.

    We were always at the top in World class badminton mixing with the Danes and the Americans in the 1940s and the 1950s at the All England and the Thomas Cup series. But we lost for the first time to Indonesia in 1959 when our No 1 player went night clubbing the night before meeting Ferry Sonneville of Indonesia in the Thomas Cup event in Kuala Lumpur. How many Malaysians know this ?

    I have been watching Malaysians playing badminton at World Class events as long as I can remember. Sometimes, I switched off the TV in disgust knowing the Malaysians will lose in the third and final set because THEY WERE UNFIT AND LACKED STAMINA OR MIND-SET TOO !

    For example, our Malaysian Champion at the 2010 London Olympics lost in the 3rd set after leading 19-17 over Lin Dan. I could only interpret this failure to the lack of fitness which meant lack of oxygen going to his brain cells. I have never seen an unfit Chinese player to this day.

    Another example I could observe is the fitness of the China No. 1 singles player Shiqui against Japan’s World’a No.1 Momota at the Sudirman Cup Finals. I thought Momota would have won hands down. But it was the fitness of Shiqui which prevailed.

    Sports in Malaysia is an activity much loved by the Rakyat. Generations of politicians graced its pantheons without contributing much too it.

    I observed most sports were undertaken by its participants when they were in school. Their talents were what brought them into the limelight of the sporting associations.

    But having talent is not sufficient to produce Regional or World Class performance these days. Our sportsmen and women need something much more. The United States adopted a professional and scientific approach in all sports immediately after World War 2 with the Communist countries not far behind.

    There should be a professional and scientific approach like :-

    1 The athlete with the RIGHT MIND SET. This has also been emphasised by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad recently for all activities.

    2. Physical fitness by ingesting the right type of nutritious foods to build up energy – a programme which is formulated by a SPORTS MEDICINE ACADEMY. I have heard whispers about a Sports Medicine Academy headed by our famous Tan Sri Dato Dr sprinter. But no more.

    3. Talent in sports is a must in all sports men and women. THIS IS WHERE OUR SPORTS ASSOCIATIONS HAVE BEEN MISLED by talented sportsmen or women WITHOUT MINDSET AND FITNESS.

    4. Motivation by good rewards and future jobs for a retired sports man or woman is a must. China puts her retired athletes as Sports Educators in places of education all over the country. Our country must care for those who put her in Glory in sports, through out their lives with jobs, housing, scholarships etc.

    5. The sports men and women of many countries especially the United States have not been AMATEURS for decades. Our beloved Malaysia must treat ALL SPORTS MEN AND WOMEN AS PROFESSIONALS with pay, rewards and assist them accordingly.

    6. Dead wood like those in the geriatric Olympic Council of Malaysia should be discarded because FOR OVER 40 YEARS THEY WERE TOO LAZY TO GET SQUASH RECOGNISED AS AN OLYMPIC SPORT EVEN THOUGH SQUASH WAS IN EXISTENCE FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

    Malsysia lost by DEFAULT at least 4 GOLD OLYMPIC MEDALS AND MANY SILVER AND BRONZE BY THESE FOLKS SITTING ON THEIR BACKSIDES FOR OVER 40 YEARS DOING NOTHING BUT TOURING ! Even recent sports like Moguls is an Olympic Sport.

    7. To show the importance of PUBLICITY THROUGH SPORTS, Lee Kuan Yew bought a few 4th rate Chinese sports men and women in table tennis, shooting, badminton, etc from China at the turn of the 21st Century in his zeal to be No. 1 of ASEAN sports. Amongst ASEAN circles these were known as the Great Wall of China. Malaysia need not buy talent. We have plenty.

    8. A MINISTER CHAIRING THE OLYMPIC COUNCIL OF MALAYSIA IS A MUST BECAUSE THE FOLKS THERE TREATED IT AS A FREE TOURING AGENCY EVERY OLYMPICS. All Sports are important to Malaysia for UNITY, HARMONY AND TEAM WORK. Tun Abdul Razak chaired the Olympic Council of Malaysia when he was DPM and PM. Maybe the Minister for Youth, Culture and Sports is the right person.

    9. In 1965, Tun Abdul Razak suggested I should open up the Selangor Shooting Association controlled by 33 Hakkas. Through the ideas which I mentioned above, Malaysia WON THE ASIAN GAMES GOLD MEDAL FOR TRAP SHOOTING IN TEHERAN IN 1972 ! The Selangor Shooting Association now has 2,000 members and RM 2 Million in its kitty.

    MALAYSIA HAS PLENTY OF SPORTING TALENT. FOR THE FIRST TIME, HOPEFULLY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNEMNT OF THE OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE GOOD AND THE GREAT RECOGNISES SPORTING ACTIVITY IF PROPERLY NURTURED WILL PRODUCE MANY MORE WORLD CLASS SPORTS MEN AND WOMEN like Nicolle David, Lee Chong Wei, Dhabitah, Shalin, Tan Eng Yueh,, Keirin cyclist Ghani etc.

    In Sports, no sacrifice, no training, no pain, no Medals.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Even Lee Kuan Yew recognised that his tiny State could obtain the Widest Publicity through Sports by buying 4th rate Chinese athletes to gain CHEAP LEVERAGE !

39. Tun

    KUDOS TO THE GENIUS WHO HAD THE KULIM INERNATIONAL AIRPORT IDEA.

    Without it, the Northern Region will forever be in the doldrums. Now all the Northern States can bloom and boom.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

40. Tun

    It is reported in the media that at least 45 NGOs petitioned your goodself to scrap the 3 Islands Reclamation of Penang. This is timely and fortuitous. For the following reasons, thus :-

    1 LEE KUAN YEW NEVER BORROWED A SINGLE CENT TO MODERNISE SINGAPORE. Singapore is not Penang. Penang is not Singapore.

    2. THE PENANG MASTER PLAN IS OUT OF DATE DUE TO THE COMPLETE CHANGE OF POLITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES SINCE 2008 WHICH MAY NOW TURN PENANG INTO THE WORLD’S FINEST RESORT FOR HOLIDAY AND LEISURE WITH NEW PROPOSALS WHICH ARE CHEAP, FAST DELIVERY, EASY TO DO AND UNDERSTAND, AND NON-CONTROVERSIAL.

    3. PENANG ACTUALLY HAS 3 GOLDMINES eg. I) OLD AIRPORT. ii) OLD GEORGE TOWN iii) BUTTERWORTH AIRFIELD. Why waste billions of ringgits by throwing good money into the sea ?

    The New Proposals which will bring IMMEDIATE BENEFITS TO THE SUPPORTERS OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE RAKYAT WITHOUT CONTROVERSY ARE AS FOLLOWS :-

    1. Scrap the 3 Island Reclamation Project. Scrap the old Bayan Lepas Airport. Scrap the Highway. Scrap the Tunnel. Scrap the Butterworth Airport and shift to Kulim. Scrap the Quit Rent and Assessment for the Old George Town.

    2. Turn the Old Bayan Lepas Airport into the World’s Finest Tropical City with the southern shore into a sandy beach, Pulau Jerejak flattened with the straits filled into a small airport for domestic and private flights together with a Terminal with shopping for 4 luxury liners. Sg Keluang delineates the northern border with the foothills the western border for low cost and affordable housing.

    3. Turn the Highway into a Japanese style country rail vide CNA Saturdays 7 pm. from Tanjong Bungah via the foothills, New George Town, Kulim, Butterworth and Sg Patani.

    4. Connect New George Town and Kulim by fast train.

    5. All Government Offices shift to New George Town.

    6. Gentrify Old George Town. Sewerage modernised and flood mitigation schemes placed underground wherever possible. Trams and pedestrian walks introduced. The aim is to create VALUE IN OLD GEORGE TOWN.

    7. Up grade the Penang Ferry which will now serve Langkawi , Kedah, Perak and Lumut.

    8. KOMTAR turn into a Budget and a 4 star hotel.

    LIKE THIS THE SUPPORTERS OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT AND THE RAKYAT BENEFIT IMMEDIATELY WITH THE INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT TO RULE FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS. WITH NO BILLION RINGGITS DEBT.

    The State Government’s negotiating skills with the Federal Government may extract the most out via the construction of the transport links, a viable deal for the Old Bayan Lepas land, subsidies for sewerage and flood mitigation, water from Kedah etc. IF PROPERLY DONE THE STATE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS IN ITS COFFERS AS ONE OF THE RICHEST STATE IN THE COUNTRY WITHOUT DEBT.

    By chance, PENANG IS NOW ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT NORTHERN REGION WITH KEDAH, PERLIS, KELANTAN, TRENGGANU AND PERAK WHICK WILL SNOWBALL THE PENINSULA TO SABAH AND SARAWAK. The classical Malaysain Way to create Wealth WITHOUT NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS !

    KULIM must jive with the other components to make the sum greater than the whole. Where else but Malaysia ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

41. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS. We Malaysians have many common traits and relationships. I always said in our country either we are related or close friends. We cannot runaway very far.

    I see you are a Man of integrity, courage and cares for our beloved Malaysia like all of us here in this distinguished Blog. I like the way you express yourself in plain simple terms. I have another late relative by the name of Shelley Yap, a lawyer, in Kota Kinabalu which you might have known many years ago.

    It is good, very good our beloved Malaysia has many citizens like you who form the real ballast which stabilizes our Malaysian Society. How lucky you and your family are to live, work and enjoy in a beautiful place like Sabah especially Kota Kinabalu. I know Kota Kinabalu well and wished many a time to live there too.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem

42. Mubarakchan, thank you for your kind words, first of all.
    I am not someone of any seniority as I had never held a position in government. I am strictly private sector person. My only political (if you can call it that) “experience” was standing as an independent candidate at the 2004 general elections when I was 35 years old, in my family constituency. I was thrashed mercilessly by the BN machinery (I remembered that my ‘campaign team’ was in a boat – yes, some parts of Sabah still only accessible this way.. passing us were about two dozen BN boats). So I decided then that there was no way anyone can beat that! Other members of our extended family had better luck in politics.. rising to a past CM of Sabah and a past Governor too. My own father was DCM under TS Harris of Berjaya government.
    Like you, I simply like talking politics even at a coffee shop. And writing about it, contributing ideas, is even better. I hope that if a few federal ministers read this blog, that they may want to consider these ideas in their future plans. I am just happy to contribute for our country’s future, in any manner possible. Just like any other responsible citizen.

43. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS. As an adjunct to my previous Comment on the TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER, this EXERCISE IN FUTILITY both for Lee Kuan Yew and Singapore very clearly exposed the sense of DE’JA VU which coloured his thinking arising from the 1962 Water Agreement with only a one paragraph Agreement probably made in Singapore. This finished off our beloved Malaysia by its SIMPLICITY.

    But with the LIFE-SAVER FOR SINGAPORE, the TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER, Lee Kuan Yew wrapped THIS SIMPLICITY OF COMPROMISING THE RULERS OF THE DAY IN MALAYSIA with 50 volumes of the substantive Agreement abetted by the treasonous Malaysian Civil Servants in attendance.

    Why did the negotiations take so long – 7 years in secret places ?

    First, the reason was that Lee Kuan Yew knew he had a hot potato in his hands. If it was achieved by him in a sneaky way like the 1962 Water Agreement. THE TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER would have been his ultimate CROWNING GLORY for his INHERITORS AND SINGAPORE!

    Second, the negotiations took so long because THE TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER ONLY BENEFITS SINGAPORE ALONE in simple terms. BUT FOR THE REST IT WAS LIKE DRAGGING AN OX TO DRINK WATER because Singapore did her best efforts politically and diplomatically behind the scenes to FORCE THE ISSUE IN SINGAPORE’S FAVOUR. The reality is that all the countries do no REQUIRE THE TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER especially the great United States but only desperate SINGAPORE.

    This fact also shows that Lee Kuan Yew’s wiles and skills have limitations in the eyes of those who would not be fooled by him with his magic shows and white rabbits.

    Third, after President Trump’s audacious act of tearing up the TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA MALAYS SME KILLER, Singapore immediately went behind the scenes TO FAN UP HER NEAREST AND DEAREST EBING JAPAN, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND TO REVIVE THE TPPA AS THE CPTPP which is now touted as WORKABLE WITHOUT THE GREAT UNITED STATES AND HER MARKETS.

    Fourth, ‘ PER ARDUA AD ASTRA ‘ was the Policy taken by Lee Kuan Yew for Singapore throughout his PUBLIC LIFE. Somewhat like ICARUS AND THE SUN. Or in colloquial terms, ‘ YOU PAY WHAT YOU GET ‘.

    Fifth, at the end of the DAY, Lee Kuan Yew got the rocks, the 25 miles of KTM steel rails and property, the low-hanging fruits like the true blue UMNO NSTP Chair, the Avenue, red hot relationships in private retreats, the right to publish a book to denigrate our beloved Malaysia and other minor gains of no consequence.

    All achieved without firing a single bullet to conquer our beloved Malaysia which Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs forgot the Royal Malay Regiments exist ! Then our beloved Malaysia might as well only keep the Royal Malay Regiments ceremonial guards. !

    IN REAL TERMS, SINGAPORE GOT NOTHING FOR ALL HER EFFORTS TO OVER RIDE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA !

    Sixth, at the end of the Day, our beloved Malaysia under the Premiership of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side, overnight became ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FOUR SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA since 9 May 2018.

    Seventh, MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

    From 1959-2015, Lee Kuan Yew took a CONFRONTATIONAL STANCE WHEN DEALING WITH MALAYSIA. He would have GAINED MUCH IF HE HAD TREATED ALL AS NORMAL HUMAN BEINGS AND DID NOT PUFFED UP HIMSELF AS SOMEONE, SPECIAL, EXCLUSIVE AND SACROSANCT.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

44. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS.

    I daresay you are a person of some seniority and deserves recognition as such with all due respect.

    Your comments are to the point and factual which I accept wholeheartedly. The issues you mentioned are relevant to the present day.

    BUT THERE ARE MUCH BIGGER ISSUES WHICH WOULD HAVE KILLED OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA DUE TO EITHER CORRUPTION OR SELF-SERVING AND DEFINITELY NOT SHEER HAPPENSTANCE.

    One issue is the Lee Kuan Yew Creation of the TPPA/CPTPP/Malaysia, Malays, SME Killer. And my appearance in this distinguished Blog was sheer happenstance. Let me relate to you TWIN PEAKS my friend how it all began.

    After the retirement of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in October 2003, the new Administration took over led by a Prime Minister who some alleged was once a secretary of the NOC 1969-1971. No problem.

    Then things were began to go awry.

    It was alleged there were 4th Floor boys who ruled the not only the Government but the whole country including Sabah as well. Then from Singapore, the folks there were boasting of looking for low hanging fruits in Malaysia.

    To add to the mix, since Merdeka, 47 years, no Malaysian Government went to The Hague to establish that Malaysia owned Pulau Batu Puteh because she already owned it.

    But this Government after 2003 did and also engaged the oldest emeritus Professor from Cambridge, my contemporary ! Singapore boasted they engaged the best International Law lawyer in the World. Right TWIN PEAKS ? It takes two to tango.

    One must assume definitely there was no hanky-panky between heads of state. To rub salt into the wound, the Singaporean elites published a book which denigrated Malaysia even more ! Malaysia lost after hundreds of years of owning Pulau Batu Puteh.

    Suddenly, one fine day, the UN Reported that a Malaysian picked up 1,000,000 barrels of sanctioned oil from hard-fisted Saddam Hussein. When the PM was asked what happened, it was alleged he could not remember what he signed.

    To top off the whole absurd governing practice, A PAP CADRE WAS APPOINTED THE CHIEF EDITOR OF THE UMNO OWNED NSTP. Not only that, this junior Singaporean fellow was given a lush APACHE CONTRACT BY SIME DARBY to make him comfortable in the hot and humid Ulus which was KL !

    And famished Singaporeans were running up and down THE AVENUE with the doors of the Khazanah wide opened for them to pluck the low hanging fruits belonging to the Rakyat !

    NO WONDER THE SINGAPOREANS ALWAYS LOOK DOWN ON THE MALAYSIANS WHEN THEY COULD CONQUER OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WITHOUT A SINGLE BULLET.

    This nonsense lasted 2004-2009 NOT INCLUDING THE ENGLISH UPPER CLASS SAILING JAUNTS EVERY DECEMBER OFF THE EAST COAST, PERTH, JET-LAG, GOLF ETC. The cognoscenti were beating their chests and gnawing their teeth with the deep knowledge that an emerging nation like our beloved Malaysia must be run efficiently and professionally, and should not be managed by a bunch of PLAYBOYS. It Is not only a 25 hour 8 day week for the Prime Minister of Malaysia but also it is a very much HANDS ON JOB. But the FREE-WHEELING METHOD OR GOVERN BY AUTO-PILOT WAS INTRODUCED DURING THIS PERIOD 2004-2009. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THE PRIME MINISTER WAS ALSO THE FINANCE MINISTER.

    IT WAS AT THIS JUNCTURE SINCE 1984 THAT I VISITED OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WHO SUGGESTED THAT I DO SOME WRITING. WHAT BETTER SUBJECT THAN LEE KUAN YEW WHO CREATED AN IMAGE OF HIS VERY OWN with so many of the Malaysian Chinese and a few UMNO Malays brainwashed accordingly.

    But Lee Kuan Yew and his cohorts were clapping their hands with glee.

    With the ASCENSION OF THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER 2010-2018, Lee Kuan Yew could thank his lucky stars that he was born in Heaven because Obama had just accepted Lee Kuan Yew’s Creation .’ The Free Trade Scheme ‘ which Obama called it his very own as THE TPPA/CPTPP/MALAYSIA /MALAYS/ SME KILLER.

    This act was underlined by the June 2009 visit of Lee Kuan Yew at the age of 85 on the pretext of visiting his digits, cohorts, spies, treacherous Civil Servants, MCA leader in red mandarin silks, a lady off Jalan Duta, KL to have fine English tea, and on his way to the Airport, a tongue in the cheek perfunctory courtesy call on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to show his TEMPORAL POWER.

    The ex-Minister, the ex-Head of MTI (whose spouse was alleged to be a senior Singaporean journalist based in KL in a profession countries like Russia, China, Iran, Egypt, North Korea, Myanmar love to jail) the President of the SMEs and of course the ex-PM who signed the TPPA, were all in full support WITHOUT ANY DUE CONSIDERATION FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST. It would have been a commitment worst than BREXIT. Malaysia would have been a slave Colony of Singapore signed by her own hands. At this point, the Singaporeans have got our beloved Malaysia between a rock and a hard place. How to miss ?

    What is the TPPA ?

    When Singapore’s VERY PROFITABLE QUESTIONALBE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADES WHICH WERE CONDONED BY UNCLE SAM DURING THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 WERE GRABBED ( Uncle Sam’s blessing ) BY THE BRICS BEING BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, CHINA, SOUTH AFRICA, Singapore lost her MAGIC WAND OR MOJO TO MAKE MONEY EX-GRATIS.

    By 2002, Singapore had her first recession and unemployment.

    Desperately, Lee Kuan Yew conjured 4 INITIATIVES, TEMASEK (earlier), FT IMPORTS, 2 CASINOS AND HIS FREE TRADE SCHEME which was a simple device to BREAKDOWN THE TARIFF WALL OF MALAYSIA AGAINST SINGAPORE GOODS.

    Its simplicity is just BY COMPROMISING THE RULERS OF THE DAY IN MALAYSIA BY WHATEVER MEANS WORKABLE AT ALL COSTS. He succeeded but not quite complete WITHOUT RATIFICATION BY THE DEWAN RAKYAT.

    With the TPPA, not only will the doors of Malaysia are wide-opened to Singaporean labelled or re-labelled goods, the huge inflow will KILL OFF ALL THE MALAYSIAN SMEs causing unemployment, riots, chaos and the blame falls on the incumbent Government of the day.

    What did the proponents say about the TPPA ?

    They said the TPPA will bring us good corporate governance, our exports to the US will increase (only soft products like condoms) and our bio-industry will gain acceptance in 20 years time.

    BUT THESE TREASONOUS FOLK SUPPORTED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SME WHO WAS ENNOBLED AFTER THIS DID NOT TELL THE RAKYAT THAT THE WHOLE COUNTRY WOULD BE IN CHAOS IMMEDIATELY.

    This is confirmed by a boastful Singapore Business Times Headline in January 2017 that the TPPA WILL SAVE SINGAPORE S$ 1 BILLION MINIMUM WHICH MEANS MALAYSIA WILL LOSE ANNUALLY A MINIMUM OF RM 3 BILLION.

    The TPPA?CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays/SME/Killer is the ultimate weapon created by Lee Kuan Yew with its 50 volumes of small print TO LOCK IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS HIS HERITAGE AND LEGACY FOR HIS INHERITORS. His constant dream of Malaysia as Singapore’s NIRVANA of riches and prosperity.

    This dream was a dangerous distraction and wasted time and money as it could now be discerned. Overnight, Malaysia became one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia since 9 May 2018.

    But it was not to be.

    1. On 2 January 2017, President Trump TORE UP THE TPPA

    2. On 9 May 2018, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs was ousted by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

    3. From mid-2018, the Singaporean media began to intensify its open remarks on the Prime Minister only. I can only interpret as a fact that for the Singaporeans, the ratification of the TPPA/CPPTP by the victorious Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs, would have been like drinking THE ELIXIR OF LIFE. Now they realise ‘there is many a slip, ‘twixt the cup and the lips’.

    Hence, the Singaporeans deep frustration and angst that THE FUTURE FOR THEM NOW IS BLEAK, VERY BLEAK because they threw all into the fray AND ENDED UP WITH NOTHING !

    MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

    There is no doubt at all that God and our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad saved OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA FROM CERTAIN DEATH AS A SLAVE COLONY OF SINGAPORE VIA THE TPPA.

    For this reason I have said ‘IN YOU WE TRUST’ when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad assumed his RESPONSIBILITIES A SECOND TIME ROUND – with a beautiful hindsight after surviving the tons of the finest vitriol poured on him 2004-2016 by the detractors, naysayers and troublemakers, now he has no more US$ 5 Million Stradivarius violins, bank collecting or padding Proton wheel rims CLOSEST AIDES TO CREATE THEIR SCANDALS.

    All these are confirmed by his admission that he made some mistakes. ‘ TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO FORGIVE DIVINE.’

    It has always my intention to furnish the true facts about Singapore because of the brain-washing efforts adopted by Lee Kuan Yew from the very beginning of his PUBLIC LIFE IN 1959 on UNSUSPECTING AND INNOCENT MALAYSIANS. What I provided was a form of DE-NAZIFICATION OF LEE KUAN YEW. Actually, the Americans gave up when they found ALL GERMANS WERE NAZIS DURING WORLD WAR TWO !.

    Without the true facts we will NEVER KNOW THE TRUTH.

    Please vide http://www.chedet.cc.org ‘Malaysia according to Kuan ‘ Archives. September 2010.

    HISTORY IS THE FINEST ARBITER OF THE TRUTH, TWIN PEAKS !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Malaysia with the TPPA would be much worse than Britain in EU which is now trying to EXIT because the TPPA was specially crafted by Lee Kuan Yew to enslave Malaysia as a SLAVE COLONY ADMINISTERED BY CORRUPT DIGITS UNDER HIS OR SINGAPORE’S CONTROL. In you we trust. Keep smiling

45. So, despite my view on China and Chinese companies, you have to salute them.
    Companies like Huawei are cutting edge in 5G. It has no competition except Samsung and ZTE in Asia. Even the Japanese are sweating. Their focus on high tech really pays off. They have got image problem, the Chinese, because of their worldview. But how they take care of themselves long term is text book study for others.

46. Malaysia has a small domestic market, thus it needs to compete for the global market to advance its economy. It is like the pyramid.. if Malaysia is at the top of the global production chain, it has very few competitors. Life will be easier and the gains are faster and greater.
    Whereas, if we remain as an agricultural/extractive country, less capital investment needed for sure… but actually life will be so hard due to greater competition, and the consequent gains are slower and smaller… bottom of the pyramid.
    That’s the way I see things.. the difference between the rich and poor countries.. in the mindset.

47. I agree, Mubarakchan.

    I would just add that if Malaysia Inc. focuses on the following three items, it will grow its economy very fast and everyone will benefit.
    1) Productivity.. and continuously raising it via industries still new to the world (thus, no competition and easier/faster growth).
    2) Saving.. what industries earned can be saved for re-investment without deficit-spending. Spend what is already earned. The gold standard.
    3) Assets.. re-invested saving to further realise productivity gains, to outsmart regional/global competitors and thus ready to receive global FDIs in latest, high-yielding industries.

    For TWIN PEAKS, the Subang International Airport has a military air base since its inception. Some airports in Europe serve a dual purpose as well. Gibraltar, Cyprus, Malta, Changi, Bangkok, etc.

49. Would international airlines want to land at Kulim if jet fighters are also using its runways? I don’t know..

50. Tun

    These are interesting times which call for Leadership like your kind, brilliant and courageous with a MINDSET which expands beyond the limits of your MIND unlike those CASH IS KING fellows whose neuro-activity is strictly confined within the limits of their skulls.

    Not long ago, we all thought the World was an orderly and civil place. Where Kings behave like kings. Presidents behave like presidents. Prime Ministers behave like prime ministers.

    Lo and Behold ! We have found ourselves like vestal virgins or naïve pundits when one President after another was charged with CORRUPTIOM and ended up in jail like in South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Peru and many other places if the Law can catch hold of them.

    How the World has changed !

    Today’s headlines tell us at a glance the easing of EXPORTS from island nations like Japan and Singapore. Soon the EXPORTS from the Asian continental Powers like India and China will drop as well.

    These countries form part of the BRICS which enjoyed all that could be exploited in Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’ (All anathema to Singapore) so proudly announced by Uncle Sam at the cusp of victory over the Communist World in 1990 after the ending of the Cold War 1948-1989.

    Singapore was hurt very badly after the end of the Cold War 1948-1989 when her very profitable QUESTIONABLE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 WERE GRABBED FROM HER BY THE BRICS with the blessing of Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel.

    And now in 2019, with astonishment, we see Uncle Sam wants to take back what he had given in 1990 through his hegemonic spiel, ‘ Globaiization. Free Trade, Human Rights ‘ after finding out that he is the SOLE LOSER.

    As the saying goes, ‘The Americans forget easily. The British try not to forget. The French never forget. The Chinese never never never forget. The Malaysians forgive and forget.’

    With a beautiful hindsight, Singapore is the sole casualty of the United States winning the Cold War 1948-1989.

    The negative effects from Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel erupted at the turn of the 21st Century for Singapore.

    Not only that from a uni-polar and exclusive World in the QUESTIONABLE AND THE UNMENTIONABLE TRADES CONDONED BY UNCLE SAM DURING THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 which was extremely profitable, Singapore was literally thrown overnight into competition in NORMAL trades with the whole multi-polar World.

    Hence, Singapore facing the odds found it difficult to breach the 3% GDP from 2002-2019 – 17 years. It was a fizzy 7% GDP in the 1970s and the 1980s when Singapore was a Third World country. But as a First World country now, she could not return to those sparkling GDPs of the Cold War 1948-1989 in the face of unexpected turmoil all round.

    That was Singapore.

    What about Malaysia ? Malaysia has a huge land mass, good inhabitants and bountiful natural resources. What is bugging us now ?

    IT IS THE HUGE THEFT OF OVER RM 1.5 TRILLION WHICH WAS SIPHONED OUT OF MALAYSIA BETWEEN 2002-2018. Vide UN, World Bank, IMF Reports.

    The Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs were responsible for this huge loss of money from the Malaysian financial system.

    How to re-coup ? Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 100 strokes of the rotan.

    Fortunately, our beloved Malaysia has the Will of the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

    And the assets which may be turned into valuable assets to replace the monetary void, are :-

    1. THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NEW PROPOSALS FOR PENANG. This is the nexus for Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Trengganu and Perak. The fall-out from here should reach Sabah and Sarawak via the rest of the Peninsula.

    2. Penang has 3 pieces of valuable land which maybe commercialised and improved upon to generate billions of ringgits immediately thus :-

    i) Turn the old Bayan Lepas Airport into the NEW GEORGETOWN, the World’s Finest tropical city.

    ii) Turn the Butterworth Air Base for commercial purposes and mixed development. Transfer the Air Base to the Kulim International Airport which should have 2 runways to begin with and a third later.

    111) Restore the Old George Town and up-grade all public utilities.

    iv) Let the Federal Government assists in building the double track Japanese style rail replacing the Highway and all the bridges and transport linkages between Penang and Kulim.

    v) Scrap the 3 islands reclamation, the Highway and the Tunnel

    vi) LEE KUAN YEW NEVER BORROWED A SINGLE CENT TO DEVELOP PRESENT DAY SINGAPORE EVEN THOUGH HE HAD THE WHEREWITHAL And Singapore is not Penang. Penang is not Singapore. And now Penang wants to borrow billions and billions of ringgits with no hope of a guaranteed repayment.

    3. Amalgamate Subang, Sunway and Petaling Jaya into a CITY to compete with Kuala Lumpur. With enhance property values, factories will move out to the cheaper areas which in turn are developed by the factories. Two tropical slums await eg. Lembah Beringin and Bukit Beruntong. Even Jelebu by the latest reckoning.

    Such creation of WEALTH which should dwarf the monetary void left by the theft of money from the country’s system, would be extremely useful in these times of need.

    And with the return of the stolen money eventually, this will be the ICING ON THE CAKE !

    However, there are storm clouds which appeared only recently in the horizon being the U.S China Trade War and Brexit.

    Even though there are some pundits who think Malaysia may benefit, I am of the opinion that this might not happen because we are suppliers of goods to Asian countries like China which exports to America. Hence, we must do whatever we can in anticipation of unexpected negative effects on our economy.

    Only TOURISM, FDI AND SME EXPORTS SEEM TO BE WITHIN MALAYSIA’S WILL TO DO MORE. Petroleum, palm oil and commodities prices belong to the World’s marketplace for pricing.

    AGAIN WE FACE UP TO TOURISM AS THE GAME CHANGER TO BRING IN THE FOREX.

    It is good the Minister of Tourism now has a grasp of things like the Travel Agents must make money as the front line promoter of Tourism.

    It is good our ringgit is not expensive. Our superb hotels could be the most reasonable in the World.

    ALL HOTEL CHAINS AND AIRLINES SHOULD BE PUSHED BY THE TOURISM BOARD TO PROMOTE MALAYSIA AS THE FINEST AND CHEAPEST HOLIDAY DESTINATION IN THE WORLD TODAY. Not the other way round. The harder Malaysia works on TOURISM, the more FOREX we get.

    Malaysia should be attractive to the FDIs again. The Ministry of Trade and Industry knows this subject like the palms of their hands.

    And the SMEs (with the ennobled President of their Association in favour of the Lee Kuan Yew Creation TPPA/CPTPP, the Malaysia/Malays/SME Killer), should be given all the financial assistance required, by the Government.

    THIS SME ENNOBLED PRESIDENT SHOULD THANK HIS LUCKY STARS THAT HE SUPPORTED THE SIGNED LEE KUAN YEW CREATION TPPA/CPTPP/ THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS/SME KILLER WHICH WAS ONLY SIGNED AND NOT RATIFIED.

    If our beloved brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team did not WIN on 9 May 2018, this SME ennobled President would have kissed his lucky stars goodbye when all the SMEs collapsed under him due to the huge flood of tariff free Singapore labelled goods, giving rise to chaos and bankruptcies.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling.

    For TWIN PEAKS.

    Strange. I know Sabah very well. My son-in-law is a Kadazan from Kota Kinabalu. My sister-in-law is from Sandakan. My distant relative is the fellow whose daughter was supposed to be Australia’s Foreign Minister. She is very correct and upright by warning her relatives not to disturb her when she was the Minister of Finance.

    I think Sabah is one of the most beautiful places in the World. Hence, the Chinese are now going there in droves. I once asked a Hong Kong tourist why he did not visit Bangkok. His reply while he was holding two full plates of breakfast, was ‘ I am tired of Bangkok. I want to visit a place which is clean and fresh.’. I also observed most Sabahans are shy to say ‘NO !’

    However, on the question of optimism concerning the future of our beloved Malaysia, if our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is not born an optimist like myself, I would not have said ‘ In you we trust.’ Why ?

    TWIN PEAKS, SINCE 9 MAY 2018, BECAUSE OF OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, OVERNIGHT OUR BELOVED MALSYIA BECAME ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND, MALAYSIA. Arising from the ashes too. Why ?

    Malaysia is very important to the World because with a stable and incorruptible Government, a strategic geographical location, a country with 3 diverse peoples from ancient civilizations and all, and full of bountiful resources which Britain, Japan, and Switzerland lack and cannot compare, herein lies her inherent and now recognised importance.

    With the added importance of the Belt and Road of China, the Kulim International Airport and the Northern Region and eventually the Isthmus of Kra Canal to come in the near future. Where else but Malaysia ?

    The pitfalls which Malaysia encountered during the Dark Ages 2004-2018, I expected BUT NOT THE TOTAL RAPE OF A COUNTRY BY ITS TOP LEADERSHIP LIKE SOUTH AMERICA AND AFRICA COMBINED.

    Nevertheless, our beloved Malaysia will recover sooner than later with our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI and the Team by his side.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

52. I can see the point on Boustead Plantation buying acres of land in Sabah. Unfair for me to comment whether I agree or not, but looking at their financial situation, I guess that IF it is in the best interest of their shareholders, then it was a good move. No, I live in Kota Kinabalu. And I can only wish I had a grandfather that rich !
    Here is something for everyone to look at:

    http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=131100

    It is a sad story in our modern nation.

53. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS.

    I hope by now you would have noticed that our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, DSAI, Tun Daim, Dato Seri Kadir, myself and others promote that ALL MALAYSIANS SHOULD BE RICH UNLIKE PRESIDENT BONGO OF THE CONGO WHERE PRESIDENT BONGO OWNS ALL THE DIAMONDS AND HIS PEOPLE DIRT POOR. In fact, President Bongo is as poor as his people. Here are the cogent reasons :-

    1. WHEN EVERY ONE IS RICH, OUR OWN ASSETS HAVE NOT ONLY VALUE BUT ALSO A HIGHER VALUE BECAUSE VALUES OF ASSETS ARE BASED ON SUPPLY AND DEMAND. President Bongo’s diamonds are just a heap of glass with NO DEMAND.

    2. WHEN MONEY IS STOLEN OUT OF THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM LIKE DURING THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND THE GLCs 2004-2018. THE MONEY HAS LEFT THE MALAYSIAN MONETARY SYSTEM FOR GOOD. Vide. UN. World Bank, IMF Reports. No money in our System how can people have opportunities to be rich ? Less money to share around.

    3. WE ALL BELIEVE IN THE VELOCITY OF MONEY.

    IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE ONE TRILLION RINGGITS HAD BEEN SWIRLING ROUND AND ROUND IN OUR MALAYSIAN MONETARY SYSTEM SINCE 2004 – 15 YEARS, CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH WEALTH WOULD HAVE BEEN CREATED WITHOUT MONEY FOR ALL THE RAKYAT ? But it was not ONE TRILLION but ONE AND A HALF TRILLION WHICH NOW BENEFIT THE HOST COUNTRIES BY LYING IDLE IN THEIR BANKS. See the treasonous behaviour of those who stole MONEY OUT OF THE SYSTEM, TWIN PEAKS ? At home, our Rakyat are suffering for want of jobs, better salaries, goodies etc. due to a shortage of money.

    4. Now we have to start all over again and create WEALTH LIKE THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE NORTHERN REGION IN CONSONANCE WITH PENANG, KEDAH, PERLIS, KELANTAN, TRENGGANU AND PERAK.- AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE This is to be done and will be done, TWIN PEAKS ! We really have no other choice !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

54. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS. You are a good man with good observations. But let me try to fill in the gaps with all due respect.

    1. In the year 2019, you mention it is difficult for the Bumiputras to get into Big Business.

    You raised this point which WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED IN 1972 FOR ALL MALAYSIANS TO DO BUSINESS ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN SUPPORT OF TUN ABDUL RAZAK’S NEP 1970-2000 THROUGH THE ACQUISITION OF SIME DARBY.

    And also to take the pressure off the NON-MALAYS WHO HAD BUSINESSES AT THE MATERIAL TIME. At this time, the British had 70% of the best assets, the Chinese had 25% of the 3rd rate and the MALAYS 2%.

    The Malays got Sime Darby when our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak died. I WAS SIDELINED AFTER THAT.

    My 1972 Concept to the Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak was FOR SIME DARBY TO ACQUIRE USEFUL BUSINESS COMPANIES LIKE LIGHT ENGINEERING ETC IN BRITAIN AND GIVE THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MALAYSIANS TO BE EMPLOYED AND LEARN ACCORDINGLY. NOT ONLY THAT, MY CONCEPT ALSO PROVIDED FOR SIME DARBY TO SET UP BUSINESSES WITH THE BUMIPUTRAS TO FURTHER BUMIPUTRA BUSINESSES. This Model would have obviated the busniess GAP which is now mentioned by you TWIN PEAKS in 2019 !

    But all these ideas were not bo be with the passing of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak in 1975.

    I WAS SIDE-LINED AND SIME DARBY WAS NOT COMPLETELY MALAYSIANISED UNTIL 1982.

    In 1982, I suggested Sime Darby should control all the palm oil bunkering facilities in China.

    The Sime Darby Management set up a small one at Port Said, Egypt. Ten years later, all the bunkering facilities in China were owned by KLK, IOI and the Kuok Group. AND SIME DARBY APPEARED IN THE BACKSIDE OF CHINA IN 2011 WITH RM 2 BILLION ! Vide The Star 21 May 2019 ‘SIME RATIONALISES CHINA PORT OPS.’. Now Sime Darby is selling because it is found that they are in the WRONG business and in the backside of China ! Fantastic !

    With the Malaysian Management in control 1982 – 2019, SIME DARBY REVERTED BACK TO BE A FINE BRITISH COLONIAL TYPE OF TRADING COMPANY WITHOUT THE EMPIRE PREFERNCE AND NO RISKS.

    Just a trading agent, selling motorcars on behalf of others etc. Sponsoring Ocean Racing for 9 years in New Zealand where Sime Darby’s New Zealander Finance Director retired or be a Travel Agent with Sime Darby’s own ex-travel agent in Perth, Australia etc. instead OF TENDING TO ITS OWN INTERESTS AT HOME. And what did Sime Darby missed then and now, the Harrisons & Crossfield Group- 1979, Volvo – 2004, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mini – 2005 , Proton – 1982, etc.

    But without a MODEL and after 2 bankruptcies, RM 1.2 Billion and RM 2.1 Billion in 1997 and 2010 respectively made by the SAME MANAGEMENT, SIME DARBY INVESTED RM 2 BILLION IN A WHARF FACILITY IN THE BACKSIDE OF CHINA IN 2011 ! Not forgetting that in 1982, Sime Darby would have controlled all and lease them back to our fellow Malaysians. Vide the following headline in The Star 21 May 2019, thus

    ” SIME RATIONALISES CHINA PORT OPS. ” Sime Darby now SELLS !

    The history of Sime Darby is just IT IS TOO RICH AND MANAGED BY EMPLOYEES WHO JUST DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BUSINESS WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THEIR SURROUNDING WORLD. If they spent so much time at golf or race courses, where have they got the time to do business which is a 25 hour occupation ?

    TONY FERNANDES. The airline he picked up for a song was owned by a Sarawakian in the 1990s which did not take off. Tony was SMART. KUDOS TO HIM. HE HAD THE MODEL AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL THE MARKET. His recipe for SUCCESS. IDEAS MAKE MONEY. The Founder sold the airline to him.

    And your point on the Chinese being exclusive and made the MONEY with their families too.

    First, the Chinese were brought into Malaya to distribute British goods. The towns were set-up by the British at key points to distribute their goods by the Chinese. The Chinese took marginal profits at great risks because they have to give credit to points far away from the centre. That was the Chinese past.

    Then, the present ageing Chinese learnt the tricks of doing real business during the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945. This business knowledge or model, the Chinese experimented during the British Military Administration period 1945-1950 – AND APPLIED VERY SUCCESSFULLY THERAFTER. What this business knowledge is, you have to ask the Chinese.

    TWIN PEAKS IF YOU KNOW ABOUT BUSINESS, IT CANNOT BE EXCLUSIVE TO ONLY ONE TYPE OF PEOPLE.

    AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO DO BUSINESS IN SMALL MALAYSIA UNLESS YOU HAVE A MONOPOLY OR CREATE ONE YOURSELF like me. I only do corporate restructuring of ailing companies. So, I have to deal with white collar crooks all the time.

    Only 1% will be successful in business in Malaysia. Read my book, ‘THE CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY.’

    You are right, TWIN PEAKS ! The MBA degrees are only to make a person a better MANAGER. Most successful entrepreneurs did not attend universities especially nowadays where these are places to socialize only. Now I say if a person has an inclination to do business, just a good Form 6 education will do and join the World of the Net to make MONEY.

    ANYONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW ENGLISH, PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS.

    Hence our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad set out a good Policy for all.

    AND THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH SHOULD NOT BE POLITICISED. From 1947-2019, India never disturbed the English language but enhanced it. Her 350 Million English speaking Indians form the bulwark of her successful progress in both at home and the West today.

    The best the New and Incorruptible Government can do to help people to do business is to make sure all facilities to do business are available and EASILY ACCESSIBLE because business is full of risks.

    Hence, the presence of the Lee Kuan Yew created GLCs in our beloved Malaysia will always be an anomaly to our Malaysian Democratic Way of Life. Sounds funny, isn’t it ?

    Civil Servants paid the sky to do business to make money for the Rakyat ? The conventional Democratic WAY is for the Rakyat to make the MONEY for the Government to tax as REVENUE ! No wonder our beloved Malaysia got into such a horrible mess. Square pegs for square holes. Round pegs for round holes. Or never the Twain shall meet ?.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling.

55. Noted with thanks on your last message.
    Just to add a little more.. I do not think that the British government had Malaya’s (or its colonial empire’s) socio-economic interests foremost when they centralised economic development from London. Rather, I posit that it was London’s aim to support the Sterling and the primacy of the Bank of England (and London as the world’s financial center) through the control of Malaya’s (and others’) financial assets.
    That was their goal, but we sort of benefited from it from the resulting financial discipline (but of course not when this imploded in 1969).

56. Ok.. before you rubbish what I’s just said about the ugly role of the colonial currency board system, let me just say that, sometimes (I really mean, sometimes), there is blessing in disguise to the path that was chosen by, or imposed on, our past governments. You have to remember that you can compare colonial-era Malaya with, for instance, South American countries, who practically had their own central banks and own currencies (but struggling to this day). But perhaps not with countries like Australia and Canada, who were in a similar boat like them (but economically miles ahead). Or.. how about Zimbabwe and Venezuela (..places that people are running away from)?
    My point is, simply having your own sovereign central bank did not or does not guarantee economic success and social stability. It takes much more than independence.

57. Tun

    For TWIN PEAKS.

    I like you TWIN PEAKS. You are a gentleman who does not lie and is not a coward. You speak out based on what you know and not on your emotions whether racial or religious, somewhat like me, – So to speak, on fairness and justice for all.

    But in our beloved Malaysia because of the huge diversity of different communities we must be careful, tolerant and be aware of the feelings of others. As I said many times before, I learnt a long time ago when I was young, I found that speaking thoughtlessly without going through my frontal lobes was like shooting words out of my mouth with a gun. I had no hope of retrieving the words. After many embarrassments I learnt to keep my mouth tightly shut unlike some of the publicly paid YBs today.

    TWIN PEAKS GOOD MAN !

    First, on the British Colonial Currency Board which was established as a standard instrument to CONTROL EXPENDITURE THROUGHOUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE, first, this was the simplest and most effective way to control far away in distant lands from Whitehall, London. Second, Greek or Latin was the requisite requirement before even a prospect got a place at Oxford or Cambridge, the home of the British Empire elites. Why ?

    By the time the British built up their ‘the Sun never sets Empire’, they were aware of the endemic Corruption of the Roman Empire and its rulers which brought its decadence and FALL. Somewhat like the Dark Ages of our beloved Malaysia 2004-2018.

    To keep out Corruption with Control, the British created the British Colonial Currency Board FOR ALL THEIR COLONIES. You spend what you earn aptly describes its function.

    However, every one of the British Colonies then did not have wise guys like TDM, DSAI, TD etc.

    All of them literally began with no educated human resources in modern day terms even in India. The British left all colonies with the excellent Administrative System which was previously manned by them but were manned by local digits after Merdeka or Independence.

    Very fortunately, our beloved Malaya/Malaysia had honourable, good and honest Leaders from 1957-2003 like our Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Thereafter, the whole of the Government Administration was treated like the PM’s savings bank 2004-2018 as we can see in the media daily – every one had sticky fingers from top to bottom.

    During the period of the good Prime Ministers, our beloved Malaysia built up reserves in monetary terms with sensible infra-structure developments but the loss in human talents was inevitable and regrettable.

    The Bank Negara Malaysia was established in 1957 but its real functions as 1) Banker to the Government 2) Safeguards the currency 3) Issues the currency were BYPASSED OR OVER-RODE BY THE PRESENCE OF THE CURRENCY BOARD OF MALAYA, SINGAPORE, NORTH BORNEO, SARAWAK AND BRUNEI UNITL 1972 WHEN THE BOARD WAS DISSOLVED.

    Lee Kuan Yew argued in the Dewan Rakyat 1954-1965 that Malaysia should stick to the functions of the Currency Board whilst Malaysia wanted the functions of the BNM to prevail TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN EMERGING COUNTRY LIKE MALAYSIA TO PROVIDE PROSPERITY TO THE RAKYAT.

    This was the nub of the argument which made the Malaysians very angry because Lee Kuan Yew insisted that the BNM SHOULLD NOT BE A MONEY PRINTING MACHINE LIKE NOW.

    TWIN PEAKS. See the point. FROM 1957-2003, THERE WAS NO MONEY MIS-MANGEMENT UNTIL AFTER 2003. From 2004-2018 the System was still GOOD, VERY GOOD BUT IT WAS THE CROOKED DIGITS WHO MANAGED THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM WHICH STOLE THE MONEY. See the point.

    Now to answer your learned statements about I) the intentions of the British in Malaya, ii) the lack of money in Malaya after Merdeka and iii) Argentina.

    1) Even though the Ruling British and the City British are tied by the old school tie, their political and commercial interests are entirely different because of the fear of CORRUPTION WHICH BROUGHT DOWN THE ROMAN EMPIRE.

    When Sime Darby was attacked by Malaysian interests. Britain political and commercial fortunes were at an all-time low during the rule of the Labour Party which interest was focused on its entry into the EU in 1976. Britain was bankrupt shortly afterwards.

    SIME DARBY WAS NOT DEFENDED BY THE CITY COMMERCIAL INTERESTS UNLIKE IN 1981 WITH GUTHRIE WHICH COST MALAYSIA DEAR AT 2 BILLION POUNDS UNDER THE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT OF THATCHER.

    The Malaysians were fortunate to get Sime Darby for only RM 23 Million with the help of 2 Singapore banks. This we must never forget ! Eventually, all British owned Plantations were sold to the Malaysians at fair market prices.

    Before I forget, just recently Boustead Plantation which IS A MALAY TRUST bought a 11,000 acres PONDAN estate (do you live nearby ?) in Tawau which consisted of at least 5 – 6 separate pieces of land FOR RM 750 MILLION CASH from a Chinese who could not sell it for over 20 years ! WHAT DO YOU THINK ? Vide The Edge March 2019.

    AND NOT FORGETTING THE MALAYS BOUGHT SIME DARBY (WITH 200,000 ACRES OF MATURE OIL PALMS) FOR ONLY RM 23 MILLION WITH THE HELP OF 2 SINGAPORE BANKS. What do you think, TWIN PEAKS ? Boustead Plantations’ grandfather’s MONEY ?

    2. You claimed that Malaya/Malaysia had no money.

    YOU ARE RIGHT. AS I MENTIONED HERE IN THIS BLOG, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHICH CONSISTED VERY FEW UNIVERSITY EDUCATED MINISTERS 1957-1969 KEPT THE POLICIES OF THE BRITISH COLONIAL CURRENCY BOARD RIGHT UP TO 1969 WITHOUT KNOWING THE IMPACT SUCH A POLICY WOULD HAVE ON A RAKYAT WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS AFTER MERDEKA.

    This ignorance kena the Federal Government of the Day SOMEWHAT LIKE THE DARK AGES OF MALAYSIA 2004-2018 WHEN THE 2 PRIME MINISTERS WERE NOT AWARE HOW THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENTS PERFORMED FROM 1957-2004.

    Instead of the traditional GOODIES FLOWING DOWN THE SLIPPERY SLOPE OF THE POWER PYRAMID, THE GOODIES WERE SEEN DEFYING GRAVITY BY FLOWING UPWARDS RIGHT INTO THE POCKETS AT THE APEX ! The Malaysians were in agony and clutched their breasts for so long. In other countries there would have been bloody riots in half the time or less.

    YOU ARE RIGHT.

    Under the British Colonial Currency Board Policy 1957-1972, Malaya/Malaysia had NO MONEY and under the SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCs, our beloved Malaysia also had NO MONEY.

    One Trillion Ringgits flowed out between 2002-2010 and another RM 500 Billion 2011-2018. Vide UN Reports, World Bank, IMF. The host countries are now enjoying this stolen MONEY FOR FREE at our beloved Malaysia’s expense.

    3. On Argentina. – Argentina was one of the richest countries in the World before the Second World War 1939-1945. She was ranked No. 7 because she was the granary and cattle supplier for Europe. At the point when Peron took over, Argentina had tons of gold in the bank. When he died with his populist Policies, Argentina was ruined and bankrupt with all the gold gone concomitant with a raging inflationary scenario which could not be easily put out even today.

    Corruption was rife from Peron’s time caused by his wife, Evita Peron. Sounds familiar ?

    AGAIN IT IS THE CROOKED DIGITS WHICH MISMANAGED THE SYSTEM FOR SELF-SERVING ENDS. All the South American money ended up either in the United States or Switzerland. Now because of the Corrupt Digits, Argentina has no wheat, cattle or gold.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem In you we trust. Keep smiling.

    Good luck, TWIN PEAKS may you be blessed always !

58. “THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE 13 MAY 1969 WAS DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BRITISH COLONIAL CURRENCY BOARD POLICY 1957-1972.”

    Here is the way I see it (sorry, mubarakchan).
    Firstly, perhaps the British government wanted to prevent a build-up of their liabilities to Malaya who may one day want to redeem for foreign currency, London required Malayan Currency Board to shift their London-held reserves from high-yielding long-term, to low-yielding short-term British government securities, thus earning Malaya little or no interest over their assets. By the way, the self-governing Dominions like Australia and Canada were exempted of this rule.
    Secondly, Malaya’s government thus had comparatively little money to spend and therefore fiscal prudence was necessary. This affected nation-building and the socio-economic improvement of the poorer sections of a post-colonial society. When you add newly-found democratic freedoms into the mix, then it was a recipe for trouble.
    The lesson we draw from this is that there is a constant need to balance long-term fiscal prudence and immediate socio-economic needs. One cannot do without the another. To discard the former, Malaysia will end up like Argentina (sorry Argentinians), and to discard the latter, Malaysia will reverse back to the 1960s era. On the other hand, much credit should go to the gold standard era as there were less global financial crises then, both in number and scale.

59. “IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO START ANY BUSINESS JUST LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY BASED ON A GREENFIELD BASIS IN A SMALL RECENTLY COLONISED COUNTRY.”

    Ditto again !
    I don’t have the time to go into great length now, but I would just like to add that if we apply the “greenfield” theory today, this metaphor aptly describes the great dilemma of getting the Bumiputera community into Big Business. The truth.. this field is almost exclusively the domination of the non-Bumiputera communities. The rare examples of TS Tony Fernandez excepted.
    My suggestion is simple. The current education system that aims at the average Malaysian kid from whatever ethnic and class background.. is essentially to prepare him/her for working life and not for getting into business (big or small).
    The reality is that the domination of the business field by a lucky few is solely attributed to exposure. Most Malaysian enterprises (big or small) are family-based, including those that eventually get listed on the KLSE. Family takes care of its own members, not outsiders. Business skills are handed down and rarely revealed to outsiders.
    It is extremely difficult to teach business, and you have to experience it. Universities cannot teach real-life business. Only theory. But a handful of tutors can make a difference (as I have done to my students in the past and present). Those lucky enough to get the rare tuition have a head start.

60. “The NEP – 1970-2000 created by our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and his Team was a great invention. No more 13 May 1969 Tragedy for us.”

    ditto..

61. Tun

    As the economy of our beloved Malaysia slowly recovers, I notice that there are more and more strident voices and comments which try to tell us otherwise.

    A simple gauge of the success of the New and Incorruptible Government is just the daily price of Brent Oil which had hovered above US$ 70 per barrel since 1 January 2019. With the good financial housekeeping by the New and Incorruptible Government, it is a cinch that much surplus money will accrue to the Government’s coffers. This is basic. And of course, this goodness is supplemented by the inflow of FDI which is coming into the country as expected. Here are some recent headlines of note, thus :-

    1. ” SINGAPORE MINISTRY OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY DOWNGRADES SINGAPORE’S 2019 ECONOMIC GROWTH FORECAST TO 15-25% ON WEAK OUTLOOK.” Inflation is not included !

    Singapore used to have a fizzy 7% GDP right up to the mid-1990s. This collapsed in 2002 when she had the first technical recession.

    For 17 years since 2002, Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% no matter how hard they tried even with Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives being Temasek, 2 casinos, FT imports, and Lee Kuan Yew’s creation the TPPA/CPTPP – Malaysia/Malays Killer. All the 4 Initiatives failed.

    The last Initiative is the NIRVANA for Singapore’s Sustainability and Lee Kuan Yew’s Legacy for his Inheritors. This is not to be.

    The future for Singapore is very bleak in a multi-polar Trading World compounded by Trump’s vision of the World. Unlike the easy going years of the Cold War 1948-1989 when Lee Kuan Yew had the support of Uncle Sam to do the QUESTIONABLE AND UNMENTIONABLE TRADES WHICH HUGE PROFITS 1948-1989 PUSHED 2 MILLION SOULS FROM THE THIRD TO THE FIRST WORLD ! How to come down from the perch now if INFLATION IS INCLUDED IN THE GDP ?

    Man proposes. God disposes.

    2. NSTP ” LET’S MAKE MALAYSIA GREAT AGAIN.”

    This is misleading and inaccurate.

    This headline is a load of nonsense. Our beloved Malaysia has always been GREAT even during the recent Dark Ages 2004-2018 – in fact VERY GREAT AS SHE EVOLVED THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME FROM CENTURIES OF LONG AGO.

    This land is the fabled land of the Golden Chersonese – the storied Empires of Melaka and Patani.

    The land or possession of the British Empire which considered Malaya as its Crown Jewel only next to India.

    Our beloved Malaysia would have been rich beyond her dreams if the UNITED STATES GSA DID NOT KEEP A CAP ON MALAYA’S TIN AND RUBBER PRICES FROM WORLD WAR 2, 1939-1945 AND THEREAFTER ESPECIALLY DURING THE KOREAN WAR 1952-1953. It was the Americans who ruled the roost.

    Still, there were commodity booms during all those years, It was alleged that the small-holders made so much from rubber and tin, that they used refrigerators to store their belongings ! I still remember the Mercedes Benz 190 diesel was the motorcar of choice for the taxi drivers throughout the Peninsula.

    It was with this economic scenario that Malays gained her Merdeka with 70 % of her best assets still held by the British until the whole rigmarole was unravelled by my 1972 Concept to capture Sime Darby IN SUPPORT OF OUR PRIME MINISTER’S TUN ABDUL RAZAK NEP OF 1970.

    Up to the capture of Sime Darby by Malay interests, there was no BIG BUSINESS OWNED BY THE MALAYS WHO WERE ALSO NOT CASH RICH UNLIKE NOW.

    IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO START ANY BUSINESS JUST LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY BASED ON A GREENFIELD BASIS IN A SMALL RECENTLY COLONISED COUNTRY.

    The WAY was to buy up British assets at market prices AND PERMIT ALL THE EXISTING ENTERPRISES TO GROW AS WELL.

    Only RM 23 Million was paid for Sime Darby PLC. The balance of the support came from two Singapore banks which were rewarded handsomely. This was one contributory factor out of many others in support of our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad 22 year Administration, 1981-2003.

    OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT UNDER THE ROYAL SULTANS, THE YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG WITH THE ADVICE AND GUIDANCE BY THE TUNKU, TUN ABDUL RAZAK, TUN HUSSEIN ONN AND TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD except for two of their successors who will not make a mark in HISTORY during our beloved Malaysia’s DARK AGES 2004-2018.

    Malaysia is now ALREADY GREATER WITH HER BECOMING ONE OF 4 IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND, MALAYSIA SINCE 9 MAY 2018. Those who are unaware of this must be from Singapore or Mars !

    3. NSTP ” MAY 13 AND SOCIETAL INSECURITY “. A misleading headline without depth.

    THE MAIN CAUSE OF THE 13 MAY 1969 WAS DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BRITISH COLONIAL CURRENCY BOARD POLICY 1957-1972.

    During this period, this British Colonial Policy which imposed strictures on expenditures on everything by the Federal Government and was compounded by very few Ministers who went to universities and had governing experience.

    The Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Dr Ismail Tun H.S. Lee, Dr Lim Swee Aun were the very few who attended institutions of higher learning.

    Most of the Ministers had no experience of governing at the highest level.

    There was a complete hiatus between the Federal Government and the NEEDS of the Rakyat unlike the New and Incorruptible Government today.

    The pre- 13 May 1969 situation was exactly like Malaysia’s Dark Ages 2004-2018.

    A few Ministers were enjoying themselves every night at Kuala Lumpur’s only hotel with a night club. This was banned by Tun Abdul Razak after 13 May 1969. Sounds familiar ?

    The Rakyat lived very much under conditions of the British Colonial times. The economy was very slow and jobs wer not forthcoming.

    I remember the real and solid initiatives undertaken by Tun Abdul Razak with the Tunku’s support like his FELDA and MARA ideas which some now claimed to be theirs. Not so. These IDEAS WERE TUN ABDUL RAZAK’S.

    The Tun also made moves to break-up sports associations controlled by only one community like the SCRC or Selangor Chinese Recreation Club, TPCA or Tamil Physical and Cultural Association, the Selangor Shooting Association which was controlled by only 33 Hakkas. He initiated the move to open up. The Selangor Shooting Association now has 2,000 members with RM 2 Million in its kitty.

    THE REAL UNDERLYING CAUSE OF THE 13 MAY 1969 TRAGEDY WAS THE BRITISH COLONIAL CURRENCY BOARD POLICY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 1957-1972.

    Many factors like Lee Kuan Yew 1963-1965, the Penang Riots 1967, the Kepong Incident 1969, the Pre- 1969 GE heated lobbying, the Post-1969 unbridled taunting by the Opposition, the general dissatisfaction amongst the elitist Malay and non-Malay graduates, the ever present Chinese vernacular schools unhappiness, left wing agitation, the MCA Leader pulled out of the Alliance at 2.30 p.m. 13 May 1969 in a pique but returned far too late at 10 p.m. This Political move upset the partners of MCA, the majority stakeholders etc – CAME TO A HEAD AT 5 P.M. 13 MAY 1969 on that fateful day.

    THE WHOLE TRAGEDY WAS UNNECESSARY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT POLITICAL, COMMUNAL OR RELIGIOUS. IT JUST HAPPENED AND CAUSED BY THE WRONG MOVES WHICH ADDED UP TO THE CONFLAGRATION . IF OTHERWISE, THE TRAGEDY WOULD NOT HAVE ONLY HAPPENED IN ISOLATED AREAS IN KUALA LUMPUR.- THE UNDERLYING CAUSE WAS THE BRITISH COLONIAL CURRENCY BOARD POLICY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 1957-1972 WHICH NO LEADER REALLY UNDERSTOOD ITS IMPACT ON THE RAKYAT WITH GREAT EXPECTATIONS AFTER MERDEKA 1957.

    We also cannot blame the British or any one else with the IMMATURITY OF OUR NEW FOUND MERDEKA !

    Hence, the importance of words of caution from our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on “MINDSET”, DSAI on “FOCUS ON FOOD ON THE TABLE AND JOBS ” and Tun Daim on ” THE IMPORTANCE OF HARAPAN’S OWN NARRATIVE ”

    I remember huge areas of Kuala Lumpur were left unguarded by the PDRM due to the shortage of personal. These days it is impossible to provide SECURITY for all. Hence, for those who had the real experience it is the prerogative of any incumbent Government to have A POLICY THAT PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. The NEP – 1970-2000 created by our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and his Team was a great invention. No more 13 May 1969 Tragedy for us. We are Malaysians. Keep smiling !

62. Tun

    Earlier in the month, a couple of writers here and there wanted to resurrect the facts behind the events which exploded at 5 p.m. 13 May 1969, beginning in the upper reaches of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

    Strangely, I was able to recall snippets of events which led up to that tragic moment from the beginnings of the PAP conundrum in the Dewan Rakyat with Lee Kuan Yew as its Leader. I attended several sessions of the Dewan Rakyat which heated arguments I still can remember.

    The determination of Lee Kuan Yew and his cohorts pitching for a ‘Malaysia for Malaysians’ knowing full well the historical, religious and cultural aspects of Malaysia were not what he made it out to be.
    His remarks were carried out to the streets with the forthcoming 1964 General Elections. Huge rallies were held at the Sulaiman Court where Sogo is today. I was there.

    I have never seen anything quite like it with Lee Kuan Yew leading the proceedings. The PAP lost all and retreated from the Federation with the Separation of Singapore from Malaysia.

    By 1967, duties were imposed on goods in Penang. This led to a riot.

    By now the undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the British Colonial Currency Board Policy of the Alliance Government began to rear its ugly head. The economy was very slow. The rich were seen to be richer.

    But the fact was with The Currency Board Policy,- a country only spent what it earned giving rise to strictures on Government spending for the benefit of the Rakyat since 1957.

    Worst of all my Malay graduate friends were poor in their own country as there were no OD., Credit cards, House Loans and other financial means to assist them. Nearly all of the Malay graduates had relatives who were Civil Servants who helped them to get started.

    My non-Malay graduate friends suffered the same fate. With Lee Kuan Yew and his cohorts putting a cap on Government monetary Policy via his view of the Bank Negara Malaysia.This move only made the Malaysian Government to sit tight and do nothing for the Rakyat.

    For all intents and purposes, from a technical point of view one may point the finger at the British Colonial Currency Board Policy which operated from 1957-1972 when it was disbanded as the CURRENCY BOARD OF MALAYA, SINGAPORE NORTH BORNEO SARAWAK AND BRUNEI OR MALAYSIA SINGAPORE AND BRUNEI. I was there.

    But in a Democracy like Malaysia, different political factions, different communal groups etc were at play which was sparked off by the unfortunate Kepong incident.

    This gave rise to gangster mobs exploiting a moment of weakness with their parade along Foch Avenue Kuala Lumpu, now known as Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock. I was there. This was before the fateful GE of 1969. The results of the GE was a great shock to the ruling Alliance. Again the gangster mobs came out in droves along Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur taunting all in their path. I was there.

    The President of the MCA took MCA out of the Alliance in a pique at 2.30 p.m. MCA was back in the Alliance by 10 p.m. It was far too late. My UMNO Youth friend rang me up at that fateful time, 2.30 p.m. and asked me to go home. Instead of selling short on the Singapore Stock Exchange, I rang up all my relatives to go home. I returned home at 4 p.m. My elder sister was shopping in the Odeon area of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman at 5 p.m. She heard people shouting and the shops shutters were closing all round her. She was not frighten because she did not understand what was happening.

    For myself, I usually go to train at the Subang National Shooting Range on Tuesdays and return home at 6 p.m. along the highway which ran past Kampong Kerinchi below the TV Complex. It was alleged on that fateful day at 6 p.m. there was a riot there. But on that particular Tuesday, I injured my eye a week before this. And I did not go to the shooting range.

    My house was in a residential area between Kampong Baru and Chinatown. Around 6 p.m. gangsters were roaming the streets with staves. By 8.30 p.m. the first gunshots were heard. But my area was quiet despite the sound of gunshots throughout the night and for the next few days.

    My Hainanese friend Dato Wong Kok Fun whose family home was right in the middle of Kampong Baru was undisturbed and my brother-in-law and his family too at the edge of Kampong Baru. My brother lived at Lorong Gurney Satu which was right opposite a school padang where the Malay Regiment 5th Battalion was bivouacked, he too was not disturbed but found the soldiers orderly and disciplined. These are the facts.

    After a few days, my friend the Deputy IGP sent me his personal car with a bodyguard armed with a Sten gun which transported me to another house in Federal Hill away from the sounds of the gunshots coming from the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman area. I was also aware that at the material time the PDRM was fully stretched according to reports from my friends.

    My friends at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital reported accordingly to me.

    It was the coincidental combination of many factors which exploded into one tragic incident. Hence with a beautiful hindsight, only an INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT WILL BE AWARE AND TAKE THE RIGHT STEPS TO STIFLE OUT ANY EARLY SIGNS OF TROUBLEMAKING BY ANYONE.

    ARISING FROM WHAT I SAW AND HEARD ALL ROUND, WHEN I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY I DEVELOPED MY 1972 SIME DARBY CONCEPT WHICH WAS SUPPORTED BY THE PRIME MINISTER TUN ABDUL RAZAK AND YBM TENGKU RAZALEIGH HAMZAH TO RIGHT A WRONG which was that there were no Malays in big business until the advent of Sime Darby.

    For my effort, a MCA politician called me a ‘ MALAY BUM SUCKER.’ But at the same time, he was shamelessly cheating Sime Darby of its valuable Nova Scotia land in 1990 which was sold at only RM 4 Million to him and he sold it for RM 88 Million to Selangor Perangsang and Talam. The land was worth more than RM 100 Million ! The ex-MCA Chairman of Sime Daby sold Benta to this fellow as well who told the Singapore Business Times that I assisted him in the sale. This same MCA fellow could remit via my friend in 1985, S$100 Million to his friend’s bank account in Hong Kong. And at the same time it was alleged he borrowed for his legal fees in Singapore. It was stranger than fiction.

    Throughout the 1960s, I sat at Rubber and Oil Palm Councils which were dominated by the British, French and the Danes.

    On 13 May 1969, the Malays had 2% of the Malaysian economy, the British 70% of the best whilst a handful of Chinese tycoons and all the Chinese had 25% of the 3rd rate assets except for some traders.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We have come a long way since 13 May 1969. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

63. Tun

    Through the years I have not come across Malaysian comments like those from Singapore in recent weeks, thus :-

    1. ” MALAYSIA’S HOPE OF ECONOMIC REVIVAL UNDER MAHATHIR FADE. POLLS ”

    2. ” DR M HAS LITTLE TIME LEFT TO GO DOWN AS A STATESMAN ”

    3. ” SINGAPORE NON-OIL EXPORTS EXTEND DOUBLE DIGIT DROP FOR SECOND STRAIGHT MONTH APRIL CONFOUNDING EXPECTATAIONS.”

    Those Malaysian admirers of Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore will be up in arms at any iconoclastic and factual comments about this sacrosanct self-created figure.

    Strange, we do not find such characters doing similarly or otherwise in Singapore. Now only a city with 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50 according to the Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.

    It also struck me as odd that after the disastrous 2 Family Policy of 1972-1984 which ground the whole population to a halt, it is now alleged that a population of 10 Million will be the ideal figure for Singapore in the distant future. This maybe 2 generations too late.

    My observation on this demographic is that NO GENIUS HAS COME OUT OF THE FAILED PUBLIC POLICY OF LEE KUAN YEW SINCE 1972-1984.

    This is a fact.

    This also showed the failure of putting up barriers to keep out most of the intended immigrants since 1972. This was 47 years ago.

    Even the education is askew with the American billionaire Jim Rogers screaming his head off in San Francisco, at the treatment his children received whilst resident in Singapore.

    In recent years, leaking holes in Singapore’s once squeaky clean armour have appeared in no uncertain terms.

    I attribute this to the fault of the elite Leadership which seemed to have lost its MOJO for many years for want of a perfect ruling formula or system which was previously guided by one person and one person only.

    Answers are to be found in the deep recesses of their brains which lie in waste without use. Like the great store of Goodwill and Credits which Lee Kuan Yew had with the World, were forgotten for at least 30 years. Strangely, their total efforts were to make a mickey out of our beloved Malaysia and do her down. As I said before this was a dangerous and costly distraction.

    SUDDENLY OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAME ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND,MALAYSIA SINCE 9 MAY 2018.

    MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

    How can Singapore revive or re-invent itself for the goodness of her people and the World especially her nearest and dearest, our beloved Malaysia ?

    Singapore has to embark on a course which will be the World’s First and it is certainly the World’s First to be sustainable and meaningful as a Sovereign and Independent Nation of a one-street town.

    Monaco is in a similar situation of sorts and Gibraltar with a host of West Indian islands still cling to the apron string’s of Mother Britain on different terms.

    In time and with situations like those created by Trump’s America, the turbulent seas which now toss Singapore around like a cork in the dark and deep ocean will force the elites of Singapore to think and think deeply how best to return Singapore to an even keel in a safe haven.

    The haven before Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel of post Cold War 1948-1989, ” Globalization. Free Trade. Human Rights.” all of which were anathema to Singapore’s interests.

    As the saying goes, ‘ The Americans easily forget. The British try not to forget. The French never forget. The Chinese never never never forget. The Malaysians forgive and forget.’ Singapore’s services to the West during the Cold War 1948-1989 were forgotten. Recently, she lost her US Democrat Mojo as well.

    How ? No one in Singapore has dared to broach the subject of a possible CONFEDERATION OF STATES BETWEEN BRITAIN/SCOTLAND AND SINGAPORE !

    I DARE SAY CONFEDERATION FOR BOTH IS A PERFECT FIT FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES !

    Like this, it is my fervent believe that all the difficult problems afflicting Singapore and its inhabitants will be resolved. Because at the end of the day, the big ticket items in wasteful expenditure like the military and keeping tabs on harmless innocents like me and others with handlers from the huge Ministry of Information become absolutely unnecessary with the precious fund channelled to serve the disadvantage poor and aged Singaporeans. With this political move, the threat of aggression by external forces is removed and protected at the same time. Instead of playing cloak and dagger with public money through the employment of hundreds of spies all over the Globe.

    To quote Franklin D Roosevelt, ‘ THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.’

    With the forthcoming World’s First Confederation between Britain/Scotland and Singapore, those Malaysians who admire the greener grass in the 3 acre Hong Lim Green now renamed Hong Lim Park to make it sounds BIGGER, WILL NO LONGER ATTACK ME AS THEY HAVE NO MORE INFERIORTIY COMPLEX OF THE SINGAPORE KIND BUT OF A BIGGER CONFEDERATION !

    But before I forget, Singapore can also claim that the Confederation will have the World’s First TELE-PARLIAMENT in this World of the Net !

    Who can now say that Confederated Singapore is without VISION, INNOVATION AND CREATIVITY in this real World of ours and not something out of Lewis Carroll’s ‘ Alice in Wonderland ‘ with plastic flowers ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with your brilliant and courageous Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side. In you we trust. Keep smiling.

64. Tun

    By now after a year’s responsibility in the Premiership of our beloved Malaysia, you must have found it intriguing to observe some of your YB Ministers doing their own thing outside the precepts of the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great.

    These elected representative must have felt unfettered with their new found FREEDOM in speech and action. Faux pas scattered like confetti all round to the delight of the naysayers, troublemakers and detractors.

    Some began to bay like the hounds not of Sherlock Holmes’ Baskerville in tune with the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GKCs 2004-2018. So much so, your most trusted friend came out and admonished them. ‘Do not be led by the nose to propagate the intentions of others !’ was how I interpret his comment. However, that was yesterday. And today is another day as one UMNO Tan Sri once cheekily told me. I just grinned at such wisdom.

    Even my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree have become grumpy and recalcitrant. A chirp or two only. Nothing more. Maybe it was because of the hot weather due to climate change. Maybe they were upset by all the unnecessary political quarrels which swirled around them every day. But serious events must come first with the following headlines, the bread and butter issues as DSAI commented, thus :-

    1. ” RICOH MOVES OUTPUT TO THAILAND AS CHINA EXTENDS TARIFFS ”

    With China now caught in a Trade War with Trump’s United States which may not have a happy ending, and the Devil will take the hindmost, it was a wise decision for Ricoh to move to Thailand in South East Asia the home of the hard-working and skilled labour. I am certain more will do the same not only because of Trade Wares and the like but also for the vicissitudes of the climate and climate change.

    It is good we have the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team in place by his side. It is good our beloved Malaysia has had a long experience in welcoming foreign investors of all kinds. It is good we have the lands and infrastructure to house them with the requisite workers as well.

    The joint business Councils should be at work enticing unhappy investors now in unstable countries to come to Malaysia. This time round the investors maybe of a different kind which make a different kind of product and not like those which were here and have now left for cheaper pastures.

    But with the coming of the Kulim International Airport and the Northern Region in support for more and more investments, domestic and foreign, the future of our beloved Malaysia is bright if all hands are to the wheel of hard-work with Success. The cake is out there to be made and eaten by all concerned.

    2. ” TOURISM MINISTER SAYS TO EXPECT GOOD NEWS ON VISAS ON ARRIVAL ”

    Under the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs 2004-2018, I thought this visa issue was resolved long ago. But lo and behold ! We are now told to expect this issue resolved soon. Better late than never.

    AT LEAST THE TOURISM MINISTER MAKES UP WITH HIS RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE MINISTRY’S SUPPORT FOR THE ALL IMPORTANT KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE RESOLUTION OF THIS VISA ISSUE AFTER COMMITTING A FAUX PAS IN BERLIN THE LGBT CAPITAL OF EU. Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco and Sydney are the other capitals.

    KUDOS TO THE TOURISM MINISTER WHO MUST ENSURE THAT TRAVEL AGENTS MAKE PROFITS TO BRING IN THE TOURISTS AND MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE WITH REAL BARGAINS. We can bring in 40 Millions given the time and the inclination with the YB Minister pushing the right things.

    The growth of tourism is right at home.

    Unlike the MCA Minister in the Age of Kleptocracy 2004-2018 who promoted London at the upper-class Royal Chelsea Flower Show and was awarded a Gold Medal by the Queen. THIS MEDAL RIGHTFULLY AND LEGALLY BELONGS TO OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem

65. Tun

    Nothing can beat a classical Malaysian morning of calm blue skies with sunshine. This was the early morning today. The bulbuls were so restful in their nest in the young banyan tree that they gave only a perfunctory chirp now ant then. I did not wait to hear their full repertoire as I hurried off with my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK which awaits her with the mid-year tests. But the real headlines are interesting, very interesting for those who care and understand, thus :-

    1. ” ECONOMY GROWS 4.5% IN FIRST QUARTER “. The very first inkling of a solid economic recovery. This figure is slightly above expectations.

    2. ” SINGAPORE NON-OIL EXPORTS EXTEND DOUBLE DIGIT DROP FOR SECOND STRAIGHT MONTH APRIL CONFOUNDING EXPECTATIONS ” Singapore has a multi-polar World in trade unlike those monopolistic questionable and unmentionable trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 condoned by Uncle Sam.

    3. ” CRITICS SLAM RAIL DEAL AWARDED TO THAILAND’S RICHEST FAMILY ”
    Even Thailand is forced to stimulate her economy via a fast rail track.

    4. ” INDONESIA PROPOSES GRAND PLAN TO REBUILD THE COUNTRY “.
    Indonesia is also taking steps to improve her economy through infra-structure construction.

    5. ” TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD’S FINEST – THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE NORTHERN REGION.” This headline is my creation.

    Let the above-mentioned headlines be self-explanatory.

    I will not comment at all this morning but only for noting that our beloved Malaysia’s economy is on the re-bound which is faster than expected. With the official announcement of the KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE NORTHERN REGION, Malaysia is on all-systems GO as led by our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side !

    The Minister for Economic Affairs, YB Datuk Seri Azmin is cautiously optimistic thus, ” MALAYSIA HAS POTENTIAL TO BECOME GATEWAY TO REGIONAL MARKET “.

    With the Port facilities in Penang’s Butterworth, the Kulim International Airport and the transport linkages to all points in the Region and with the future Kota Baru Sea Reclamation, MALAYSIA HAS MORE THAN ONE GATEWAY TO THE REGION BEING THE PENANG-KEDAH NEXUS, THE CENTRAL REGION NEXUS AND THE SOUTHERN REGION NEXUS.

    What more does the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great want on their plate which is as fantastic as a person can discern ? The PROPENSITY OF TURNING A ONCE SELF- DOWN-TRODDEN MALAYSIA OVERNIGHT INTO ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD SINCE 9 MAY 2018 !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling.

66. Tun

    Those Malaysians who understand the meaning of the importance of the Kulim International Airport to uplift socio-economically not only the Northern Region comprising Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Perak, Kelantan and Trengganu but also the whole of the Peninsula to Sabah, Sarawak and beyond to South Thailand, will realise of the sea-change that is to come for our beloved Malaysia which now sits strategically and geographically at the nexus not only of ASEAN but Asia as well.

    When our beloved Malaysia was ruled by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs 2004-2018, our country was NOTHING.

    It was so weak our valuable assets from rocks, steel rails, precious KTM lands, UMNO NSTP Chair, the Avenue, low-hanging fruits, etc were all given away to Singapore.

    Malaysia was not the choke-point then but Singapore.

    During the 14 years of Dark Ages, Malaysia was NOTHING compared to her status today as ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

    Malaysis’s strategic geographic position in the middle of ASEAN bears much weight given the fact that she is now ruled by a NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT.

    It is not only the MIND-SET but the recovery of our PRIDE, DIGNITY AND SELF-RESPECT which hold sway as MALAYSIANS AND NOT SOMEONE’S FOOTSTOOL TO BE STAMPED ON. Were all Malaysians aware of the dire and shameful period 2004-2018 we were placed into by the very Leaders whom we trusted and elected into POWER ?

    MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

    KUDOS TO THE GENIUS WHO HAD THE IDEA OF THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

    With this FLAG OF COURAGE AND ENDEAVOUR NOW NAILED TO THE MAST OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT, a WAY which is ORIGINAL AND INNOVATIVE will lead all of us the Rakyat to greater heights of socio-economic endeavour in support of our BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM WHO WILL LEAD US THE WAY !

    So much for all that. I will produce a headline this morning thus :-

    ” A TALE OF TWO CITIES. PENANG AND SINGAPORE.”

    Here are the cogent reasons why Penang is not Singapore. Singapore is not Penang.

    1. If we go back to the historical basis in British Colonial times, the British had already worked out Singapore is way ahead of Penang in terms of SUCCESS in any endeavour. Hence, Penang has always been a faint shadow of Singapore since the beginning of time.

    2. In other words, any copy-cat activity by Penang based on Singapore will not work but to turn it only into a tropical slum of NO MERIT.

    3. Then, what to do ? Simple. Fortunately, Singapore does not own the World and the World can be Penang’s oyster with the proper MIND-SET. The vacancy for Penang is to be THE WORLD’S FINEST HOLIDAY AND LEISURE RESORT WITH THE WORLD’S FINEST MODERN TROPICAL CITY.

    This is Penang’s World Monopoly which belongs to her and only her alone. Penang has created her very own World renown status which will be enhanced by the new and dynamic Kedah State with its very own and famous ECO-TOURISM FOR THE WORLD ! See how two State by coming together with the same MIND-SET BENEFIT NOT ONLY THEMSELVES AND MALAYSIA BUT ALSO THE WORLD.

    3. The creation of WEALTH by Singapore was an entirely different kettle of fish which Penang hopes to copy cat today.

    Through the ingenuity of Lee Kuan Yew, he could magnify the importance of Singapore to Uncle Sam during the Cold War 1948-1989. He could get the US Democrats on his side. Along with this good relationship, the goodies came in the form of the UNMENTIONALBE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1848-1989 AND THE FULLEST DIRECT SUPPORT FROM UNCLE SAM LIKE INVESTMENTS AND MILITARY USE OF SINGAPORE’S AIR AND SEA FACILITIES. The revenue from these sources came in a flood which pushed up LAND PRICES and Singapore pushed from the Third World to the First.

    As a well-known Singaporean once told me,’ DO NOT BE JEALOUS OF SHAW BROTHERS, ROBERT KUOK OR TAN CHIN TUAN. THEY ARE HISTORY. YOU DO YOUR OWN THING AND DO IT WELL. ‘ I followed his advice to the latter and here am I writing in this distinguished Blog.

    4. UNLIKE PENANG LEE KUAN YEW NEVER BORROWED A SINGLE CENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SINGAPORE. THE MONEY CAME FROM OTHERS WHO BELIEVED IN SINGAPORE. HAS PENANG GOT THE ABILITY TO DO THE SAME ? It is alleged that the 3 Projects, the 3 islands, the Tunnel and the Highway are not only wrapped around by red-tape but the funding in the billions of ringgits has yet to be found.

    5. UNLIKE SINGAPORE, PENANG NOW HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS IF THE STATE GOVERNMENT HAS THE GUMPTION, THE MIND-SET AND THE WILL TO PUT PENAND AS THE FINEST WORLD CLASS PLACE FOR THE BENEFIT NOT ONLY OF ITS RAKYAT BUT THE WORLD. Different strokes for different folks to gain REVENUE FOR THE STATE.

    Not only the leverage but the existing GOODWILL to get the best support out of the Federal Government in support of the NEW PROPOSALS especially on the old Bayan Lepas Airport and the transport links etc to come. I believe the State Government has the astuteness and ability to do so.

    6. Remember what Deng Xiao Peng said,’ IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER THE CAT IS BLACK OR WHITE AS LONG AS IT CATCHES MICE.’

    7. IN ONE SINGLE SENTENCE ANYONE WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE NEW PROPOSALS FOR PENANG WITHOUT ANY HESITATION TO GAIN REVENUE FOR PENANG.

    8. WITH SO MUCH EXISTING LAND WHICH CAN BE TURNED INTO WEALTH FOR THE REVENUE TO BENEFIT THE RAKYAT AND THE STATE’S SUPPORTERS NOW VIA THE NEW PROPOSALS, how to miss SUCCESS for the State Government of Penang ? And I hope this Government will be in POWER for the next 60 years !

    9. ONE OF THE MANY STRENGTHS OF OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD IS HIS ABILITY TO AVOID PITFALLS BY U-TURNS. IT IS NO SHAME AT ALL IF IT IS IN THE RAKYAT’S INTEREST.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem.

67. Tun

    It is good to report that my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree chirped and sang again this morning. This duo always sparked my mind with their duet that how wonderful Life is in our beloved Malaysia under sensible and successive BN Governments and now the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great until the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs took over POWER 2004-2018. This was not a dark moment.

    IT WAS THE DARK AGES OF A ONCE HAPPY HOSPITABLE FRIENDLY AND TRUSTFUL RAKYAT. All were shattered to the core of seeing and hearing the unbelievable acts of our Nation’s Top Leadership and its elites – 2004-2018.

    But the INHERENT GOODNESS OF HUMANKIND MUST PREVAIL.

    Dawn broke and with our deserved Freedom from Bondage which was imposed upon the whole Nation by those who were already the HAVES with Social Status and Money and DEFINITELY NOT THE HAVE-NOTS.

    This crazy Administration of an otherwise well-run Country – 1957-2003 became worse and worse as the years went by.

    In the 1960s, I expected the country would lose some standards and ethics but never in my worst imagination that our beloved Malaysia became worst than South America and Africa combined – THE OUTRIGHT THEFT OF THE RAKYAT’S WEALTH BY THE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS WITH NO HOLDS BARRED which could be translated as the Government was plotting every day for 14 years to have schemes to rape our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat FINANCIALLY OF ALL THE WEALTH.

    Lo and Behold ! Dawn broke with the ousting of the Corrupt BN Government 2004-2018 and the coming of the New and Incorruptible Government.

    MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES !

    Not only our beloved Malaysia has a New and Incorruptible Government but also a clean and dynamic Government to produce the real goodies for the Rakyat. But the icing on the cake has appeared as THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT which IDEA CAME FROM A GENIUS WHO SHOULD BE LAUDED ACCORDINGLY.

    THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL ARIPORT IS THE FLAG OF COURAGE AND ENDEAVOUR BEING THE NUB OF A REGION IN CREATING VERY PRECIOUS REAL PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE NORTHERN REGION COMPRISING PENANG, KEDAH, PERLIS, KELANTAN, PERAK AND TRENGGANU. How many Malaysians realise this, Tun ?

    This Northern Region with the Kulim International Airport as its NUB will be one of the MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT REGION OF THE WORLD BECAUSE IT FORMS THE LOGICAL EXTENSION OF THE BELT AND ROAD OF CHINA. IT IS ALONG THE AIR ROUTE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST ASIA. IT WILL BE NEAR TO THE FORTHCOMING ISTHMUS OF KRA CANAL. IT IS IN THE HEART OF THE MOST STRATEGIC AND POLITICALLY GEOGRAPHIC COUNTRY IN ASEAN AND THE WORLD BEING MALAYSIA.

    This Northern Region’s forthcoming development has become THE FLAG OF COURAGE AND ENDEAVOUR FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT TO LEAD US ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP WITH VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA, GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN.

    Away with the snide remarks of the naysayers, the troublemakers and the detractors. Because of the goodness, integrity and steadfastness of the New and Incorruptible Government, an important, valuable and precious asset which is easy to understand and develop has arrived on its door-step.

    KUDOS TO THE GENIUS WHO THOUGHT OF THE IDEA OF THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem

    Man proposes. God disposes. The rise of the Northern Region will be one of your finest and greatest achievements not only for Malaysia but the World. Keep smiling !

68. Tun

    It is good you were never taken up by catchy slogans like bio-medical sciences even though you are aware that Japan is one of the leading countries for scientific research and innovations.

    For some who are not aware of the meaning of academic research which the United States takes on a huge scale because of her Wealth and the many rich donors, it was estimated that only 1% of the total academic research output could be meaningful and practical for every day use.

    A country like Japan was very good at innovation of the researches done by the United States. Companies like Sony, Hitachi and others made their successes on the innovation into practical use via US trade marks or franchises.

    But the academic centres in Malaysia can be part of a chain of experimental laboratories which is derived from a mother laboratory centre in a major World university well-known in the subject under study. Standards and ethics in the field of research are jealously guarded.

    I had a classmate who became a top laboratory technology expert whose skills were exclusively utilised by a famous Jewish medical professor in the University of Toronto, Ontario Canada.

    Academic research in established universities is the highest level of academic achievement as we all know. And this particular endeavour is a closely guarded academic activity by the head of each laboratory in succession.

    Like the phrase ‘hole in the heart’ which is actually a journalistic phrase. ‘Bio-medical sciences’ is another journalistic catch phrase for the layman. In reality, the real activity is much more complicated than this as we know.

    As far as I know, in my Life-time, the best scientists came from Malaysia not Singapore.

    A Malaysian is the Emeritus Professor of Medicine, King’s College, Cambridge. Another the Professor of Geriatrics of the same University. A third was so famous in Paediatric Ophthalmology surgery that he was knighted by the Queen and awarded by all the major universities of the World. I believe there is another Malaysian in Beijing who is a well-know liver surgeon. And many others who did not go to Singapore or USA..

    Only the best universities of the World will produce the best academics like in Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s alma mater the famous King Edward VII College of Medicine, Singapore which produced many famous surgeons like Tan Sri Alhady, Tan Sri Coco Majid and physicians. They were all inspired by the professors which lectured them.

    Academic research is a carefully nurtured activity in any university which takes a long period of development and costs in a refined environment of like minds. Money cannot buy academic prestige but only by the published results of its academic denizens which must be vetted by their peers.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem..

69. Perhaps you should take a look at the following (although already a few months back):

    https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2018/09/05/johor-biotech-park-faces-shortage-of-skilled-workers/

70. Well…, you said it.
    Not me.

71. Tun

    This is for TWIN PEAKS who wants to derail the logical thinking of normal Malaysians by suggesting that the country should retain academics to do research in Malaysia instead of Singapore or the United States in 2019 ! This should be the top priority as he said.

    But DSAI rightly pointed out that food and jobs on the table should be the First Priority. I support DSAI.

    But this person went further and accused me of being PERSONAL.

    1. TWIN PEAKS how can I be personal to you when you do not exist anywhere in this World ?

    2. TWIN PEAKS IS A FAKE NAME WHICH YOU HIDE BEHIND AND MADE ALL SORTS OF FRIVOLOUS, NEBULOUS, VEXATIOUS AND WITHOUT DUE LOGICAL REMARKS

    3. TWIN PEAKS YOU HAVE NO LOCUS STANDI. Therefore your remarks are of no consequence. unless you unmask yourself.

    4. TWIN PEAKS I HAVE NEVER MADE ANY PERSONAL REMARKS AGAINST ANYONE UNLESS THEY MADE ATTACKS ON ME FIRST. GO AND CHECK. ALL MY REMARKS CAN BE SUBSTANTIATED. THIS IS WHY I RELY ON HEADLINES. DID’NT YOU NOTICE. And as for my comments on Lee Kuan Yew, I only commented on his 47 Failed Public Policies since he was a Public Figure. Nothing personal.

    Someone told me not to talk about Lee Kuan Yew since he is dead. I retorted that ALL THE HISTORY PROFESSORS AND THEIR HISTORY DEPARTMENTS MIGHT AS WELL CLOSE SHOP SINCE HISTORY ONLY TALKS ABOUT DEAD PEOPLE. Vide http://www.chedet.cc.org.com.my Archives. ” Malaysia according to Kuan Yew” September 2010.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem.

    Our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat will fly with the Kulim International Airport to come ! Time is of the Essence. Keep smiling !.

72. Tun

    Like human beings, my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree did give a chirp or two this morning but nothing more. They have not been performing like a Swiss cuckoo clock for some weeks. Never mind. The fact is they are still their doing their thing. That’s the WAY with birds. What about men of the Singapore kind ?

    After the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs, I expected the Singapore Government to begin a fresh page of relationship with Malaysia for mutual benefit and not treat the Malaysians as though they are still living in the Ulus.

    But lo and behold ! The inheritors carried on as if this is the 20th Century with constant display of Lee Kuan Yew’s inconsistent quotations. And of late, brazen attacks or snide remarks or fake news focussed on our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad only and no one else.

    What is the fear of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ?

    A kind-hearted, honest and common sense of a normal person. To quote Franklin D Roosevelt, ‘ THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF.’

    Why this Singapore unhappiness over a Great Malaysian Statesman after the Singaporeans had a free run for 14 years during the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and GLCs 2004-2018. like going for the low hanging fruits, the Avenue, 4th Floor Boys (now men), UMNO NSTP Editor’s Chair, rocks, steel rails, valuable KTM Singapore lands, etc with Malaysia in exchange for 1/2 of an office building.

    The reason is the cat’s paw for Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew – THE TPPA/CPTPP, the Malaysia/Malays Killer which if ratified our beloved Malaysia will be in eternal BONDAGE TO SINGAPORE UNDER LEGAL TERMS signed by our own hands. A PERFECT ACT OF STUPIDITY.

    Why the beating of the chests and the tearing of the hair by the frustrated Singaporeans even now ?

    THE TPPA/CPTPP WOULD HAVE BASHED DOWN THE TARIFF BARRIERS OF MALAYSIA IN SINGAPORE’S FAVOUR. IN OTHER WORDS, THE MOMENT THE TPPA/CPPEP IS RATIFIED, LABELLED OR RE-LABELLED SINGAPOREAN GOODS FLOOD IN. Our factories go kaput. Workers sacked. Chaos reign in the streets. The incumbent Government gets the blame. Non-Malays are financed by Singapore to import Singapore goods. Malaysia becomes a slave State of Singapore created by her own hands because the ex-PM signed the TPPA/CPPTP the Malaysia/Malays Killer.

    BOASTFULLY, THE SINGAPORE BUSINESS TIMES BRAGGED AFTER THE SIGNING THAT SINGAPORE SAVES A MINIMUM OF S$ 1 BILLION A YEAR. In other words, Malaysia loses RM 3 Billions a year minimum.

    Still why the angst and the outrage at our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ?

    As with all humans, the Singaporeans lay the blame on the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs on THE BRILLIANCE AND COURAGE OF OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD. The Singaporeans after all the years of hot private retreats and kisses did not expect to end up with NOTHING !

    The Singaporeans were so cock-sure that this time Singapore has got our beloved Malaysia between a rock and a hard-place via the TPPA.CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer, that when REALITY STRUCK IT WAS LIKE HEAVEN FELLED ON THEIR SWOLLEN HEADS !

    Why ? For the very first time in June 2009, even Lee Kuan Yew at the age of 85 visited the hot and humid Ulus to exhort his digits, cohorts, spies, treacherous Civil Servants, fellow travelling Chinese politicians in red mandarin silks etc in support of his creation the TPPA/CPPTP. He even had tea with the lady of the day off Jalan Duta and cheekily paid a perfunctory visit to our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on his way to the Airport – as a reminder of his temporal POWER.

    But the important thing was the ex-PM, the ex-Minister, the ex-Senior Civil Servant and the President of the SME (got a Tan Sri Ship for letting down his Members) were in FULL SUPPORT OF THE TPPA/CPPTP THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER. How to miss ?

    ALL THE VVIPS IN SINGAPORE’S LITTLE POCKET.

    Most importantly, the Nirvana for Singapore forever which is our beloved Malaysia in SINGAPORE’S ETERNAL LEGAL BONDAGE WILL BE RATIFIED IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS THE DAY AFTER THE SINGAPOREAN PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND THE GLCs win.on 9 May 2018 ! See how difficult BREXIT is without tricks of a Singaporean kind.

    This sordid tale of Malaysian betrayal, treachery and greed began in 1989 when the Communist World imploded – 1948-1989. Thereafter, Uncle Sam came out with his hegemonic spiel, “Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights ‘ which suited the BRICS to a T. They immediately grabbed all of Lee Kuan Yew’s monopolistic UNMENTIONABLE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR- 1948-1989 WHICH PUSHED SINGAPORE FROM A THIRD TO THE FIRST WORLD. So easy ugh ?

    It was the ingenuity of Lee Kuan Yew who inveigled this MONOPOLY of UNMENTIONABLE TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 OUT OF UNCLE SAM WHICH WAS SINGAPORE’S MONEY BONANZA FOR A SMALL POPULATION UNDER A HONEST AND AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENT.

    Whether Lee Kuan Yew a pragmatist knew that ‘Americans forget easily. The British try not to forget. The French never forget. The Chinese never never never forget. The Malaysians forgive and forget.’ or not is the question when Uncle Sam came up with his hegemonic spiel. ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’ All anathema to Singapore !

    With the awareness of structural problems arising in the future, Goh Chok Tong was despatched to India to recruit FTs with the fervent hope that the fizzy 7% GDP from 1970s and the 1980s could be sustained.

    As expected, in 2002 Singapore went into a technical recession. But by the turn of 2000, Temasek was pumped up and running to add to the sustainablitly of the 7% GDP of the past.

    By 2006, Lee Kuan Yew had 4 INITIATIVES UP AND RUNNGIN being Temasek, 2 casinos, the FTs and the Free Trade Scheme (TPPA was Obama’s relic). In 2006, only Singapore, Brunei, New Zealand and Chile were members. The Americans were not interested. But after the Crash of October 2008, Obama was ready to grasp at the Lee Kuan Yew’s Free Trade Scheme and called it his own TPPA. In January 2017, Trump tore-up the TPPA on his first day in office. Singapore well-honed relationship with the Democrats now lost until the Republicans lose power.

    And in 2019, Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% since 2002 – 16 years. This is a clear example of the FAILURE OF THE 4 INITIATIVES CREATED BY LEE KUAN YEW FOR HIS INHERITORS AS HIS LEGACY. The most important is the TPPA/CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer.

    Here is the headline as published by the NSTP on May 25 2017 concerning the most senior Malaysian negotiator of the Lee Kuan Yew created TPPA whose husband is the chief Singapore Business Times journalist stationed in Kuala Lumpur..

    ” MALAYSIA MUST NOT QUIT ” Tan Sri Dr Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, former international trade and industry secretary general. She was the Chief Negotiator for 19 secret negotiations until exposed by the media.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

    Our beloved Malaysia’s problems have been caused by betrayal, treachery and greed between 2004-2018 under the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs.

73. I find your that your perspective on Singapore is more personal than mine, which probably clouds your better judgement. It is contradictory at times, but interesting nonetheless. Stay with it and keep it up.
    And don’t worry about your opponents (i.e. vultures, bees, etc). It is quite normal and expected.

74. Tun

    It is interesting to note that this distinguished Blog attracts pro-Singapore elements like bees to honey or vultures to a carcass.

    First, we have that Syphilitic General Paresis fellow.

    Now after the biggest Ministry of Information in the World in a one-street town, armed with the ANTI-FAKE NEWS ACT seemed to conjure up another joker of a sub-Continent character. Good thing I too was in the sub-Continent when I was wearing short-pants.

    Has anyone noticed ? The Ministry of Information Singapore now has the MONOPOLY TO PRODUCE THE REQUISITE NEWS AS REQUIRED. No one else in the World can do so. FIRST IN THE WORLD AS USUAL.

    As far as I know, I was told many years ago that I have handlers in the Ministry of Information, Singapore who keep tabs on me and my comments since I first appeared here in your distinguished Blog. It crossed my mind what a waste of public money to keep tabs on so many, not only me.

    FOR TWIN PEAKS, WHY DON’T YOU SUGGEST ACADEMIC RESEARCH TO THE YEMENIS ?

    Malaysia BOleh Tun as always. No problem. Your Way is the Way. In you we trust because your steadfastness, common sense and integrity lead the Way. Acheh !

75. “How to do research when there is no food on the table ? Hence, as I always said the smartest 1% of the academic population will succeed by finding a niche in this Wide World be it Singapore or USA.”

    Well, that is precisely my point, isn’t it? You don’t want the smartest 1% of Malaysians do end up in Singapore or USA, because you want them to stay here. What is the point of nurturing the cream of your population from the time they can read and write, only to be poached by other countries after they graduated from your own universities? Thank you very much Malaysia for having spent all your taxpayers money on developing your top 1% so that we can hire them to work for us and develop our economies.
    Look, if you don’t keep your 1%, that’s your choice. But just remember, you can forget about escaping the middle income trap, which countries like Singapore, Taiwan and South Korea have already done. Then 20 years later, you remember, gosh.. we should have kept the top 1% here to do research in our country because now our people have nothing to eat on the table, because we have lost all our jobs to Vietnam and Indonesia.

76. Tun

    I am certain that you are like me who are not put off by high-sounding issues of the academic kind.

    I have been intimately involved with such matters from top to bottom since 1960. Such issues can only arise from a sound and prosperous Malaysian Economy which is well-planned and sustained – like during your 22 Year Administration which brought about private colleges and universities.

    These are the facts of the creation of academics talent suitable for research if any. Academic research like Fine Arts come very late in a Developing or Emerging Country because issues like jobs and food on the table as emphasised by DSAI hold true in each and every one of the Emerging Countries. How to do research when there is no food on the table ? Hence, as I always said the smartest 1% of the academic population will succeed by finding a niche in this Wide World be it Singapore or USA. Just look at those parachutists dropping into the LLB or MA courses of the University of Cambridge.

    Singapore only promoted the Fine Arts in 1992.

    Hearsay without the facts is misleading and should not be propagated in any forum.

    The fact is that after 13 May 1969 there has been an outflow of talent academic or otherwise for reasons best known to themselves. And the outflow of these talents should not be attributed to only the circumstance prevailing in our country. There may be many other reasons.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

77. By the way, I was not splitting hairs when I mentioned that our post-graduate research students are continually lured overseas, including Singapore and the USA. It is Actually a serious matter. Possibly the most critical missing part of the jigsaw as far as our own quest for a post-industrial knowledge economy is concerned.

78. Tun

    There have been so much loose talk about Singapore’s Scholarships, outflow of talents, etc. Here are some real facts which I noted from my friends billionaires and all.

    1. Since the beginning of time, there has been no barrier to trade between the Straits Settlements and Malaya. Commercially, Malaya has been the romping ground for Straits commercial interests.

    2. There was no mind-set affecting the older generation of Singaporeans vis-a-vis the Malayans.

    3. It was only after 1965, the unique mind-set of the Singaporeans began to take root. Even then, the older generation treated KL as one.

    4. The first brain-washing of the Singaporean Mind came with the slogan, The Rugged Society. Thereafter, a series of other slogans followed like ‘Smile today’ etc.

    5. My friend’s teenager got a Singaporean Scholarship. His child was monitored all the time. At the end, his child did not get a place in a Tertiary institution and returned to enter the University of Malaya. The child has now got a job with a bank.

    6. There are at least 20,000 Singaporeans happily living and working quietly in Malaysia. Penang is an attraction. Major Malaysian malls have many Singaporean owned shops which permit the owners to sell their written off Singapore goods in KL. I know of a Singaporean lady tailor who has lived in KL for years.

    7. There is a Bukit in KL where a couple of rich Singaporeans have their Malaysian families. This cross-border relationship has been in place for decades. Likewise, some rich Malaysians install their SIA friends in Singapore under similar circumstances. For those who are curious, just take a 1st Class SIA flight to Singapore on Fridays and return at 9 a.m. on Mondays.

    8. There is even a Singaporean kindergarten in the Bukit in KL.

    9. I was not only bemused but shocked when the Senior Immigration Officer told me that up to the 21st Century, the immigration records were not computerised. And on the eve of every festive holidays like Christmas, the doors of the Johor Baru Immigration gates were thrown wide open for Singaporeans to rush home without stamping their passports.

    10. There was no restriction on travel at the Causeway until after 13 May 1969. The restricted Passport came into operation in 1970. It was discovered that the Singaporean gangsters came into Malaysia during 13 May 1969 and before.

    11. By 1972, Singapore could register 2,000 gangsters. As a result, these gangsters check into Johor Baru at 9 a.m. and check-out for home at 5 p.m. And Singapore became gangster free which gave rise to some snide remarks in the early 1980s by s Singaporean big-wig.

    12. The bookie system between Malaysia and Singapore is as one unofficially which is actively operated every week-end.

    13. My elder sister and our aunt was travelling in a packed bus along South Bridge Road, Singapore in 1948. A Chinese school boy in a white uniform with epaulettes stood up and gave his seat to our aunt. That was in 1948. In 2019, I still remember this kind deed of a Singaporean. I doubt if any Singaporean will do the same to-day.

    14. It was Singaporean Politics which mentally divided Singapore from Malaysia. Pre-1965, for years as far as I could remember, there were many sporting activities between the 2 places. But hardly any cross-border events today.

    15. With Malaysia finally broke its chain of bondage from the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs, all the Rakyat are united to push the Malaysian Wheel to success especially with the coming of the KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT which will serve as far North as the proposed Isthmus of the Kra Canal in South Thailand about 400 Km away.

    Where else but Malaysia ? Who to lead our beloved Malaysia but our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as Politics of any kind does not rear its ugly head.

79. Teresa May is struggling to keep her PM post as I write.
    Singapore. Yes, it rather difficult to sustain a high GDP growth when you are already at the top of your game. Man City won the Premier League last night.. just by a point above Liverpool. Like Singapore, admittedly its management had done a lot of unfair things including an ‘unfair’ (to others below them, not Man City) sums on its players, training ground, academy and so on. It’s the results that count, that’s what people remember the team for. Liverpool (sorry fans!) may get the most incredible team of the season award, but they haven’t touched the title for as long as their fans can remember.. that’s what really counts in the end.. the trophy cabinet.
    Singapore in the 1970s was utterly underdeveloped, but they have dragged themselves up. How? It doesn’t matter… the results are what people look at. I am sure that if the PAP leaders had committed unspeakable crimes against their own people like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution era in China, the people of Singapore would have staged a coup against the PAP government without us telling them to. As far as I know, they adore PAP even today. True, they have a speaker’s corner that is only in name, but bad news spread on the web and I don’t think Singaporeans cannot assess their own situation.
    Furthermore, the Cold War was a time when everyone had to take sides. Singapore and Malaysia were both part of the Western alliance (i.e. the FPDA). Japan also profited massively during the Korean War, as did Thailand during the Vietnam War. In Sabah, KK has a submarine base.. the Cold War is still on, by the way.
    Anyway, back to ourselves. We need to do some serious soul-searching. There is no point blaming others for our own misfortunes. And it is never too late to change our ways of doing things. Learn what we did wrong and move on. That’s a more productive way of making progress.
    For instance, our agricultural root hinders rural folks, so we need to move on. Amalgamate the small holdings, industrialise massively, and relocate to the urban areas. That’s how it was done in today’s western industrialised countries.. the very group that we want to join. Only that they started this process in the Nineteenth Century.

    I totally disagree with those who propound the success of Singapore today based on attracting our talent by offering them more salaries.

    This is like splitting hairs. Malaysian talent has been going overseas after 13 May 1969. There was another wave of talent emigrating beginning the early 1980s. With a steady outflow during the regime of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs 2004-2018.

    At this moment and for sometime I have friends who were banking executives in Singapore now become taxi-drivers.

    Singapore’s GDP collapsed in 2002 and went into a technical recession. The GDP never breached 3% from 2002 – 2017. Why ? Because the 21st Century World is a MULTI-POLAR WORLD IN WHICH SINGAPORE COMPETES AGAINST THE REST OF THE WORLD. With her 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50, Singapore has no talent. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.

    And what made Singapore so wealthy in the 20th Century and not the 21st Century in which Singapore has all the glittering buildings and other assets which I can see.

    How many Malaysians know there are two parts to the Singapore Success Story in the 20th Century.?

    1. The First Part concerns the employment of Dr Albert Winsemius, the Dutch UN economics expert who was the Advisor to the Singapore Government from 1962-1984. He was responsible for the Bedok, Changi reclamation, the Jurong Industrial Park, the GLCs, Asian Dollar, the glittering buildings etc.

    2. The Second Part was very profitable to Singapore which was the trades which do not come under the ambit of normal trades. This huge profit pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First. But this lucrative unmentionable trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 was condoned by Uncle Sam in a World which was starkly divided into black and white. After the Cold War, Uncle Sam came out with his hegemonic spiel, ‘Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’ which benefitted the BRICS which grabbed all of Singapore’s lush Cold War unmentionable trades within her ambit since 1948.

    Singapore saw the light and Goh Chok Tong was despatched to India in the early 1990s to bring in the FTs with the hope that these would sustain the fizzy 7% GDP of Singapore in the 1970s and 1980s. With the advent of the FTs in the late 1990s to 2019, the FTs were like pushing Singapore’s GDP with a string. The GDP could not breach 3% for 16 years. And Singapore had been eating off the fat of its Cold War unmentionable trades. I reckon this has already gone down by 15-20%.

    Are the Malaysians aware that tiny Singapore with a population of about 2 million and a sleepy Colonial entreport up to the 1970s could attain a GDP of 7% right up to the 1980s AND NOT NOW WITH ALL THE PARAPHERNALIA OF A MODERN STATE ? Think ! Magic show ? Rabbits out of a hat.? Unmentionable Cold War trades ? Why no Nobel Prize for Lee Kuan Yew ?

    Do the Malaysians understand why the Singapore Government kept on raising taxes now and then ? Go to Singapore and have a look-see.

    Nearly all Singapore multi-billionaire families except for one, made their fortunes outside of Singapore especially in Malaysia. There are literally no opportunities to be rich in Singapore eg. HYFLUX.

    And the SGX is illiquid and lacklustre. Many Hong Kong people told me that they made a mistake by listing on the SGX.
    T
    THE GREATES HOPE OF THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT WAS THE TPPA A DEVICE SPECIALLY CRAFTED TO KILL OFF MALAYSIA AND HER SMEs by Lee Kuan Yew when the 2002 technical recession hit the Republic. Strangely, the Chairman of the Malaysian SMEs supported the TPPA and was ennobled thereafter with a Tan Sri-ship !

    4 Initiatives were crafted around 2002 by Lee Kuan Yew. Temasek, FT imports, 2 casinos and the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPPT. All failed to deliver in a meaningful way by 2019. These legacies for the inheritors of Lee Kuan Yew became nought. How ?

    Strangely, Singapore reverted back to the 20th Century Policies of Lee Kuan Yew to try to OVERLORD Malaysia since 9 May 2018. At the end of the day which is now, Malaysia has become 1 of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

    WHAT SOME HAVE FORGOTTEN SO QUICKLY IS THAT THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCs DID NOTHING IN TERMS OF THE SORT OF REAL DEVELOPMENT WHICH WERE IN PLACE IN MALAYSIA FROM 1957-2003. For 14 years, One Trillion Ringgits flowed out of the country 2002 to 2010. Another RM 500 Billion flowed out from 2011 to 2018. No money to develop, how ? Vide. UN Reports.

    For those who want to know more on the RISE and FALL of Singapore, I refer them to the http://www.chedet.cc.org Archives September 2010, ‘ Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’. To further their intimate knowledge of Singapore, I invite them to live in Singapore too.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. If there are still admirers of Singapore which success was engraved in stone in the 20th Century. But the upshot is MOST CHINESE I MEET THESE DAYS HAVE A NEGATIVE VIEW OF SINGAPORE. Anyone who thinks to the contrary must be from Mars.

81. It seems rather off-topic to discuss about Malaysia’s economic development in this area. Perhaps a new thread by Tun especially for this purpose is timely. In any case, I wish to highlight that Kulim International Airport is an important catalyst to future economic success of the Northern Region and Malaysia. But that’s all it is, really.. a catalyst. The real mover is actually human resource, not infrastructure. That was the reason why Penang lost 30,000 tech jobs to China in the period 2000-03.. because it could not compete with the low wages in China (and Vietnam and India). So we have to upgrade to the higher end of E&E. But here is the problem. Intel (the world’s largest chipmaker) said they moved their Assembly and Test Devt Unit back to the Arizona because wafer fabrication and assembly lines must be close together. That was a valid reasoning, but it also underscores the inherent weakness of our E&E and other hi-tech sectors, and will unhinge our progress to escape the middle-income trap.
    Take a look at Singapore. Say what we want about them, but they are draining our country of our own top scientists ! Do you know that under our noses, Singapore is luring Malaysian post-graduates with lucrative future.. ample research funds and superior living conditions. We are paying our researchers just RM2,500 a month whereas they can get at least 5 times that amount over there. Most of their scientists are from here.
    So, if we are very serious about entering the biotech sub-sector for instance, we need our scientists to stay here. We don’t need to build world-class infrastructures like the MSC. Leave that to the private sector. Focus on education – schools and higher education. Put more money into research. Then the private sector will come in droves.

82. Tun

    This is a great morning for all in our beloved Malaysia.

    The increasing support for your New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great now in full song as exemplified by the huge landslide by-election result in Sandakan.

    And the prospect of an important and socio-economic NUB which is the KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – the finest next to the Singapore Changi Airport because Singapore always insists they are NUMERO UNO even their chilly crabs (Indonesian or Sri Lankan) and Hainanese Chicken (Malaysian) Rice.

    We will certainly not dispute Singapore’s claims which they deserve as propagated by their huge Ministry of Information now armed with the Anti-Fake News Act. Kudos to Singapore.

    My hat off to the GENIUS who had the IDEA to create the all-important KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT – an essential nub to kick-start socio-economically the whole Northern Region and beyond via the Peninsula to Sabah and Sarawak.

    THIS IS THE WAY TO GO AS YOU ARE AWARE TUN.

    From the beginning our beloved Malaysia had always progressed socio-economically through infra-structural developments with great success until our beloved Nation was brought down onto her knees WITH THE COMING OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND THE GLCs. 2004-2018.

    DURING THIS PERIOD ALL THE GOODIES MEANT FOR THE RAKYAT WERE SEEN DEFYING GRAVITY BY FLOWING UPWARDS TO THE APEX OF THE POWER PYRAMID. The Rakyat could only bear this injustice with angst as the draconian laws forbid anything more.

    In a moment of madness, CASH IS KING ruled between 2004-2018 trailed by scavengers from Singapore looking for low hanging fruits, NSTP Editor’s Chair, rocks, steel rails and Malaysian KTM lands in Singapore. From these Malaysia ended up with half an office building !

    Fortunately, these were small losses compared to what our beloved Malaysia has become through your brilliant and courageous Leadership of a LIFETIME WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE !

    Not only that, our very own naysayers, troublemakers and detractors ALL SAY OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAS NO HOPE OF BECOMING GREAT AGAIN.

    On this I dispute.

    WE THE RAKYAT FROM 3 ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS AND MORE, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UPRIGHT AND NOBLE. With the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs on 9 May 2018, we Malaysians are our true-selves again – UPRIGHT AND NOBLE. Malaysians have NEVER been dwarfs or midgets stealing and cheating from the Government coffers.

    And as a consequence of all these events, Malaysia is now one of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

    With the coming of the exciting development of the Northern Region, Malaysia, now full of hope and expectations, is fast trekking upwards to the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. Where else but Malaysia ? Who can deny this ?

    Comparatively ,’CASH IS KING’ has brought SHAME AND TRAGEDY TO OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA with the notions of wanton negativity encompassing gigantic hoards of CASH AND BRANDED GOODS in the abodes of those concerned. These days for the MACC to flush out 10,000 Rolex watches is no surprise, so to speak.

    BUT THE INERT GOODNESS AND COMMON SENSE OF ALL OUR MALAYSIANS PREVAILED
    And as such, the Rakyat will definitely be on the road to greater and better things for ALL.

    THE KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS THE CAT’s EYE FOR ALL THAT IS GOOD AND ENDURING FOR THE NORTHERN REGION AND BEYOND VIA THE PENINSULA TO SABAH AND SARAWAK. No more. No less.

    With all the expected goodies to come for all the Rakyat, we must expect jealousy will appear from the expected quarters, thus :-

    THIS MORNING’S HEADLINE FROM SINGAPORE –

    ” MALAYSIA’S HOPES OF ECONOMIC REVIVAL UNDER MAHATHIR FADE. POLL ”

    That’s the problem with Singaporeans. Their elites have a mind-set of their own.

    Here is the reason why Malaysia has abundance of riches but were screwed up by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs.

    If a person looks down whilst flying over France of England, he or she will notice that the land is already divided into patches like a quilted blanket. Over Canada, the land is divided into huge patches. This observation reveals that these Nations are fully developed.

    BUT IF A PERSON LOOKS DOWN FROM THE AIR OVER MALAYSIA, HE OR SHE WILL OBSERVE A WHOLE MASS OF GREENERY PUNCTUATED BY SMALL AND SCATTERED DEVELOPED LANDS HERE AND THERE. What does this tell us ? That MALAYSIA’S WEALTH IS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITS HUGE LAND MASS.

    And how many Malaysians know that all the State Excos’s job is TO CREATE WEALTH BY CONVERTING JUNGLE LAND AT 20 SENS PSF TO DEVELOPMENT LAND AT RM 2.80 PSF !

    From this fact, it is also sad to note the tragedy which affected the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites and the GLCs, 2004-2018. With such easy WEALTH why steal cash from the Government’s coffers ?

    AND THE FAKE HEADLINE THIS MORNING IS FROM SINGAPORE’S HUGE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION NOW ARMED WITH THE ANTI-FAKE NEWS ACT thus :-

    ” MALAYSIA’S HOPES OF ECONOMIC REVIVAL UNDER MAHATHIR FADE POLL ”

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

    The KEY to our beloved Malaysia’s socio-economic success is the KULIM INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND THE NORTHERN REGION. No more. No less.

83. Tun

    Kudos to ‘Twin Peaks’ for expressing the true feelings about the huge movement of socio-economic change to come in the Northern Region which not only encompasses the States of Pulau Pinang, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan. Trengganu and Northern Perak but also beyond through the whole Peninsula to Sabah and Sarawak.

    THIS IS THE WEALTH CREATION OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WHICH HAD STOOD US IN GOODSTEAD SINCE MERDEKA IN 1957 BUT OUR PROGRESS WAS BROUGHT DOWN TO ITS KNEES BY THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES ADN THE GLCs 2004-2018. 14 years of void.

    And if within 10-20 years, the Isthmus of Kra Canal comes into fruiton only 400 km away, the demand for goods and services from this Northern Region will be beyond belief.

    AND MALAYSIA TOGETHER WITH ITS NORTHERN STATES PENANG, KEDAH, PERLIS, KELANTAN, TRENGGANU AND NORTH PERAK WILL BE READY TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE FUTURE TO COME. There are 3 cogent reasons Thailand cannot hold back the construction of the Canal anymore, thus :-

    1. China’s Onward March of the Silk Road.

    2. Thailand cannot hold back not gaining US 6 Billion revenues anymore which is what the Suez Canal is now receiving.

    3. Peoples in the South of Thailand may not want to fight with the huge socio-economic success arising from the construction of the Canal. This peace momentum could spread to Acheh and Mindanao.

    Who wants to fight with hope, a full stomach, a family with a house and a job ? In these days of the Net, the whole World becomes BORDERLESS. Only the potential of hope, a full stomach, a family with a house and a job will PEACE HARMONY AND PROSPERITY PREVAIL anywhere in this tumultuous World.

    And for those who still cling on to the MINDSET of an Opposition group, it does not pay to hold back the earnest and enthusiastic DESIRE for socio-economic development for all the Rakyat at this hour of our Nation’s need which is to have SOMETHING TANGIBLE, PROFITABLE, CHEAP, FAST, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, ECO- AND RAKYAT FRIENDLY DEVELOPMENT ENCOMPASSING PENAND AND KEDAH and perhaps Kelantan with the reclamation of the sea later on.

    The sooner it is understood that the Penang State Government’s supporters and the Rakyat will BENEFIT IMMEDIATELY the better.

    The 3 mega Projects, 3 islands reclamation, the Tunnel and the Highway, loaded with mega billion ringgits loans and hampered by years of construction will DEFINITELY BE NON-STARTERS..

    Both sets of Proposals aim for the same object eg to raise Revenue for the Penang Government. But the 3 Mega Projects are cumbersome and difficult to execute beside time concuming over a span of decades.

    THE NEW PROPOSALS ARE CHEAP, EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND EXECUTE, BASED ON EXISTING LANDS, ECO AND RAKYAT FRIENDLY. THE BEST OF ALL IT IS THE CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY. Most importantly, supporters of the Penang State Government and the Rakyat get immediate benefits.

    IT IS FORTUNATE THAT THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE, HAS A PRIME MINISTER WHO IS VERY ADAPT AT MAKING U-TURNS. This is the reason why our beloved Malaysia still requires his services of a LIFE-TIME EXPERIENCE that it is not a shame to admit a MISTAKE AND DO THE U-TURN IN THE NATIONAL INTERST AND NOT SELF-INTEREST.

    It is only by realising one’s mistakes. that a person or a country can progress.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We now can see the HUGE WEALTH CREAIION EXERCISE WITHOUT MONEY IN THE NORTHERN REGION TO COME. Time is of the Essence ! Kulim International Airport – (kudos to the GENIUS who thought this one out) – is the NUB with the World’s Finest Holiday and Leisure Resort, Penang and Kedah, – multi-activities and the Finest Eco-tourism by its side.

    WHERE ELSE BUT PENANG AND KEDAH ? WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ? Keep smiling, Tun !

84. Regarding the Penang vs Kulim debate, I couldn’t have agreed more.
    Penang International Airport… either it should be relocated to Seberang Prai that is less congested, or Kulim should be the new air transport hub for the entire northern region of the Peninsula. And, if I may say so, (sorry Penangites), the new international airport at Kulim is a NATIONAL priority, political consideration aside, simply because much of the nation’s success over the last decades is due to the electrical and electronic sub-sector of our economy. The sub-sector is also extremely critical to our nation entering the future era of 5G technology. Malaysia is already miles ahead of its regional competitors in terms of volumes of E&E production. We have the critical mass to spearhead future innovation in this field. And we must not lose ground.
    So, let’s not argue endlessly about the location of the logistical hubs. It is simply logical that you need spacious land for a new modern airport. Besides, Penang port is already there, so let Kulim and Kedah get a fair share of development too. After all, Penang cannot do it alone, and the Penang government should realise that it can no longer think “Penang Only”. That is old thinking which can hinder not only its future development but the entire nation.
    So, Penang. LET GO. JUST LET GO ! And Tun, please speed up the completion of the Kulim International Airport.

85. Tun

    For those who had an interest in birds especially my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree, I report that they are still there but only began their daily chore at the sound of my unlatching the front door in the morning. These days these birds have learnt how not to sing their hearts out unlike previously. An occasional chirp or two will do these days. Not only Humankind, birds do learn fast how to malinger these days.

    And the most interesting headline in recent days – none of note today or yesterday, thus

    ” MINISTRY OF TOURISM SUPPORTS KULIM AIRPORT ” Kudos to the Minister.

    How many Malaysians realise given the rule of the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great, the Northern Region will bloom and boom within the next 10 years and definitely so before 20 years. The key States involved are Penang, Kedah and Kelantan reaching down to Taiping, North Perak.

    The nub is the Kulim International Airport which should be planned with 3 runways at the very beginning and potential to develop the requisite terminals 1, 2 and 3 as time permits.

    A full-fledged city should be planned around the Airport which should serve the 4 Northern States and North Perak.

    Land is plentiful in Kedah. But in Penang, WITHOUT THE REALIZATION OF TRANSFORMATION THROUGH WELL-PLANNED CHANGE, there is now a mental hiatus at the top State level whose mind-set seems to be in a strait-jacket – unable to rationalise or think out what is best for the State to gain revenue and the benefits for the Rakyat.

    In the early 1970s, one sibling of Lee Kuan Yew told me in no uncertain terms that Singapore will create WEALTH from its land by boosting its value through careful planning. But Singapore is not Penang, Penang is not Singapore.

    THE ONLY WAY PENANG CAN BOOST THE VALUE OF ITS LAND IS UTILISING THE EXISTING LAND AND NOT POUR BILLIONS OF RINGGITS TO CREATE MORE LAND. See the point, Dear Ladies and Gentlemen ?

    Therefore my New Proposals for Penang is not only cheap but practical, fast, easy to deliver and understand, no huge risky loans to bear, supporters and the Rakyat get immediate benefits, and importantly eco-friendly.

    For those who are unaware of what I am talking about, my Proposal for Penang to begin infra-structure works immediately to garner revenue WITHOUT BORROWING BILLIONS OF RINGGITS, are as follows :-

    1. Scrap the old Bayan Lepas Airport, the Tunnel and the Highway.
    2. Turn the old Bayan Lepas Airport into the New George Town, the finest tropical city in the World for business and holiday resort to be planned by the finest city planner in the World. This will attract tourists like the PETRONAS Towers. Many 100 storey buildings built.
    3. The Southern Border becomes a sandy beach a’la Honolulu, Hawaii, the Western Border for affordable and low cost housing at the foothills, the Northern Border is Sungei Keluang whilst the straits between Penang and Pulau Jerejak maybe filled in for a small regional airport and helicopters. A 4 luxury liners Terminal should be located between Pulau Jerejak and the southern tip of the island. With this huge creation of land which is now worth billions and billions of ringgits, the State Government does not need to borrow for its need.
    4. KOMTAR turned into a Budget and a 4 Star Hotel.
    5. Buildings in Old George Town renovated with State subsidies. Some Street pedestrianized. Trams and cycle lanes introduced.
    6. The 19th Century sewerage system modernised. The flood mitigation schemes augmented and placed underground if possible.
    7. All State Government Offices re-located to the New George Town. The commercial offices will follow. Traffic congestion defused.
    8. The Highway turned into a double track Japanese style country train between Tanjong Bungah, Western foothills, New George Town, Kulim, Butterworth, Sungei Patani.
    9. The Ferry upgraded to serve also Kedah, Langkawi, and North Perak.
    10 A fast train connects the New George Town and Kulim
    11..QUIT RENT AND ASSESSMENT IN OLD GEORGE TOWN SCRAPPED.
    12. Like this the POWER OF PENANG FITS INTO THE POWER OF KEDAH TO CREATE SUPER-POWER LEVERAGE FOR BOTH STATES, THE RICHEST TO COME. We do not require a rocket scientist from Singapore to think this out because Singapore is not Penang, Penang is not Singapore.
    13. Within 20 years, with the construction of the Isthmus of Kra Canal, the sky is the limit for boom time Penang, Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Trengganu and North Perak.
    14. Thai and Singapore investors will rush in.
    15. To facilitate employment, tourism, transport, water etc, a Joint Development Council of Penang and Kedah should be established.
    16. The supporters of the State Government and the Rakyat get their benefits NOW NOT IN 30 YEARS TIME.
    17. At the end of the day, Malaysia has the perfect fit of World Holiday Resort Penang and Kedah with its World Class eco-tourism and other facilities. Where else but Malaysia ? A Gemini Twin generating goodies in terms of employment and revenue 24 hours a day. Where else but Penang and Kedah ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Down with the naysayers, troublemakers, and detractors who now claim there is no excitement in the Malaysia economy. As you said it is just the MINDSET ! Keep smiling.

86. Tun

    Life is such a wonderful adventure despite all the vicissitudes which we have encountered along the journey. This I am certain you will concurr with me.

    Remember the occasion in April 2010 when I paid you a courtesy call at the Perdana Foundation – a time when the naysayers, the troublemakers and the detractors were pouring the finest quality vitriol on you ?

    I was extremely worried at the direction our beloved Malaysia was going as led by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and the equally corrupt elites and the GLCs.

    People close to you have already warned me that you had left Politics for good. I did not bring this subject up. But what you said that morning intrigued me. You told me to write openly my feelings. It took me nearly a year to do so and to pick on a subject which no one dared to talk about – LEE KUAN YEW.and his Fables and Foibles without any personal connotations.

    Fast trek to the present – 9 May 2019.

    I DISAGREE TOTALLY THAT THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT OF THE OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE GOOD AND THE GREAT SHOULD PLUNGE SO SOON AFTER GAINING POWER INTO REFORMING COSMETIC ISSUES WHICH ARE

    1. ICERD – International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination.

    2. ABOLITION OF THE DEATH PENALTY. To save a few murderers.

    3. ROME STATUTE

    4. REPEALING THE NATIONAL SECURITY ACT

    5. SEDITION ACT, PREVENTION OF CRIME ACT, PRINTING PRESSES AND PUBLICATIONS ACT AND ALL OTHER ACTS WHICH CONCERN SECURITY, TERRORISM AND THE MULTI-MEDIA.

    From my observations, the proponents of the abolishment of any Act have their heads in the West and their bodies in the East.

    THERE IS NO MENTION OF REVISING THE ESSENTIAL ACTS or bread and butter Acts, LIKE THE COMPANIES ACT 1965, THE BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967 AND THE TRUSTEES ACT 1949. These are the bread and butter Acts which concern the lives of our whole Nation of 31 Million.

    For example over 200,000 young Malays are bankrupt with another 100,000 young non-Malays together another over 300,000 bankrupts.

    In Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia, the Bankruptcy Act gives the bankrupts a second chance. But in Malaysia because of Corruption, the over 500,000 bankrupts are locked in by the old Act which had a new Attachment with no bankrupts when it came into operation in October 2017. The Minister responsible was a FAKE and it was alleged this person was influenced by share-brokers, banks etc which dare not do this in Britain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. There was no revision of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 despite the fact that the INCUMBENT MINISTER OF LAW SAID IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT THAT BANKRUPTS ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER BY READING A FEW LINES FROM THE UNREVISED BANKRUPTCY ACT. Vide. The Star Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018 ‘Bankruptcy Act not Revised’ and 2 May 2019 ‘Long Wait out of Bankruptcy By the next 15th GE, there will be nearly 1,000,000 bankrupts voting against the Incumbent Government which the Opposition will instigate.

    As DSAI commented that it is the provision of food on the table which is important. Not airy-fairy ideas or reforms to please foreign outsiders.

    Tun, as an experienced politician whose main interest was political activities concerning not only Malaysia but the World THAT THE MANIFESTO IS ONLY OF ONE DIMENSION ON PAPER. BUT IN THE PRACTICE OF REALPOLITIK ESEPCIALLY IN A UNIQUE COUNTRY LIKE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA, THE DIMENSIONS MAY BE AS MANY AS 5 OR MORE IN THIS 21ST CENTURY WORLD !

    And the factors which turned a ONE DIMENSION PROMISE ON A PIECE OF PAPER TO BE AFFECTED BY THE FOLLOWING BECOMES A PROBLEM :-

    1. The unique diversity of Humanity in Malaysia. Even the Chinese are not homogenous. There are Shanghainese, Hakkas, Hokkiens, Foochows, Cantonese, Hainanese, Teochews etc.

    2. The Communal Interest of each Community vis-a-vis the other.

    3. The Divide between Malaysians with different educational backgrounds.

    4. And the Religious Divide.

    5. Instigation by unfriendly neighbours

    6. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL IN THIS SMALL WORLD, THE INTERNATIONAL EVENTS CONCERNING HUMANITY, FINANCE AND POLITICS. At this very moment, ALL MARKETS TURNED RED DUE TO THE DELIBERATE INSTABLITY CREATED BY THOSE WHO HAVE THE POWER TO DO SO.

    7. PRECEDENTS FROM OUR OWN MALAYSIAN HISTORY DATING RIGHT BACK CENTURIES.

    From the above, we have 7 dimensions to consider !

    Therefore, Tun, the proponents and pundits for QUICK QUICK REFORMS are out of touch with REALITY IN REALPOLITIKS OF THE MALAYSIAN KIND.

    Hence your valuable and unique experience of a Life-time in Malaysian Politics is without a peer as your steady and firm hand in leading the New and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great now shows.- YOUR WAY FOR MALAYSIA TO BE NORMAL AND SUCCESSFUL.

    ALL YOUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS EFFORTS CAME AT THE RIGHT TIME TOO IN A ONCE WEALTHY BELOVED MALAYSIA RAPED OF ITS RAKYAT’S WEALTH BY THE TOP LEADERS OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMNET AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCs 2004-2018. The tragedy was that these LEADERS ARE THE HAVES AND NOT THE HAVE-NOTS !

    A financially raped and dying Nation which was Malaysia now given a second chance to recover back to her once WEALTHY AND NORMAL STATUS. Who else could do it but our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ? Where else but Malaysia ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We are all with you with DSAI and the Team by your side.

    IN YOU WE TRUST ! Keep smiling !

87. Tun

    CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES ON THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE OUSTING OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND THE GLCs BY YOUR BRILLIANCE AND COURAGE WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE. MAY THIS GOVERNMENT LASTS FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS.KEEP SMILING !

88. Tun

    This morning my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls refused to chirp or sing in the young banyan tree. I only heard a few recalcitrant chirping notes. That was it. It was 6.59 a.m. I suppose even birds have their off days. But for this morning, an idea suddenly sprung up in my head.

    I have noted that pink cheek junior Deputy Ministers seemed to attract the attention of the journalists with absurd announcements like ‘nursery in the Dewan Rakyat,’ or ‘ a Bill to stop bottom pinching ‘ or ‘ stop building condos to improve the traffic ‘ or ‘ abolish death penalty for murderers or ICERD or anything that came to their minds but meant NOTHING.

    Now let us take the case of the Ministry of Information of the Republic Singapore – a one street town of a place.

    This Ministry of Information is huge compared with the size of Singapore. It employs ex-Malaysians from the former Straits Settlements of Penang and Malacca. It leaves no stone unturned in its promotion of the governing Government and its elites with the Policy of only broadcasting Singapore as the World’s Best in everything from the fire-brigade, Navy or the Military or the DBS or chilly Indonesian or Sri Lankan crabs, Hainanese chicken rice etc.

    But an important function is to spy on the sexual peccadilloes of visiting important or earmarked persons of interest or danger to Singapore which adopted this Communist tactic from its very beginnings.

    Lee Kuan Yew was always fearful of being dethroned from his perch. Any site to be visited by him in Singapore was scanned by a bomb disposal squad at least 100 metres or more for bombs in flower pots, trees, lamp-posts etc. Believe it or not ?

    However, by adopting part of the myriad functions of the Ministry of Information of Singapore, I reckon the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side can gain much at minimum cost thus :-

    1. ” TO EACH MINISTRY OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT, A PUBLIC RELATIONS UNIT CONSISTING OF JUST ONE MEDIA SAVVY PERSON AND A PHOTOGRAPHER BE ATTACHED TO THE MINISTER’S OFFICE. THE SOLE ROLE OF THIS UNIT IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MINISTER’S DAILY FUNCIONS AND DEEDS ARE WELL-PUBLICISED BY THE MEDIA VIA PAPERS OR ON-LINE. THIS UNIT ALSO MONITORS THE TRUE PRESENTATION OF THE NEWS ON THE MINISTER. NO FAKE NEWS PERMITTED.” Like this, the Rakyat is well-informed and know which Minister belongs to which Ministry and what he or she looks like.

    As it is Deputy Ministers of no importance jump the queue and get their pictures all over the media with no real purpose. The Ministers should take the cake not these very junior Deputy Ministers.

    2. ” ALL MEDIA ESPECIALLY THE NEWSPAPERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PUT ASIDE AT LEAST A PAGE TO REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE MINISTERS AND THEIR MINISTRIES EVERY DAY.”

    3. ” THE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION SHOULD BE ON-LINE WITH ITS OWN REPORTS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE MINISTERS AND THEIR MINISTRIES SO THAT ALL AREAS OF THE PROPAGATION OF GOVERNMENT’S ACTIVITIES ARE KNOWN TO THE RAKYAT. NOW THE OPPOSITION TAKES THE OFFENSIVE ALL THE TIME AND THE GOVERNMNET ONLY REACTS ON AN AD HOC BASIS. Prevention is better than Cure.

    4. ” LEE KUAN YEW PLACED BRAIN-WASHING AS HIS NO.1 PRIORITY AS WE CAN DISCERN WITH THE MANY BRAIN-WASHED MALAYSIANS AROUND US BRAIN-WASHED BY HIM. AS A RESULT, THESE BRAIN-WASHED MALAYSIANS BELIEVE IN HIS FICTION OR BLUFFOLOGY AND NOT THE TRUTH OR FACTS.”

    With due consideration of propagating the GOOD WORKS AND HARD WORK OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT’S YBs AS LED BY OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE, A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE AND APPRECIATION OF THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE SEEN IN A BETTER LIGHT BY THE RAKYAT.

    There is another function of the Ministry of Information Singapore which I DO NOT RECOMMEND WHICH IS TO MAKE VIPS AND IMPORTANT FOREIGNERS COMFORTABLE IN SINGAPORE SO THAT THEY HAVE A GLOWING IMPRESSION OF THE TINY PLACE. Believe it or not ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Each Ministry becomes PR effective with enhanced employment to project a good impression of the Minister and his Ministry to the Rakyat at minimum cost.

    I am certainly intrigued by the debates which have been gaining in intensity and momentum concerning the ‘Master Plan’ Development of Penang – A State which had fluctuating fortunes concerning its Rakyat and socio-economic well-being.

    From its British Colonial past to the present, we have noted that the ancient State of Kedah was suppressed in its developments so much so I thought it was a State with big green flies and nothing else. I must apologise humbly for this oversight !.

    For Penang which was once part of Kedah, to move forward in its mega developmenst whilst being only one of the 13 States of the Federation will be difficult because it will always need the Federal Government support as regards control and funds.

    I am equally intrigued that the State Government kept on harping on a ‘Master Plan’ for development which is well-out of date in relation to the fact that the present Federal Government is of the same political ilk as the State of Pulau Pinang. This political factor alone was a sea-change since 9 May 2018 and soon we will all be celebrating the 1st Anniversary of the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and the GLCs.

    To all and sundry, the Penang ‘Master Plan’ entails three important and core elements being the Tunnel, the Highway and the 3 reclaimed islands. All of which require billions of ringgits to achieve at a great cost to the environment and to raise the ire of the Rakyat.

    I have been following the ‘Master Plan’ for years and also I have been studying what made Singapore ticked since the end of the 2nd World War in 1945.

    As a person trained to observe and gather facts, I have been able to suggest alternative proposals which are much cheaper, practical, easy to do, faster and eco-friendly both to the environment and the Rakyat. And the best of all the supporters of the Penang State Government get immediate benefits. Hopefully like this, the present State Government will last for the next 60 years.

    Not many people are aware that I am a CONSTITUTIONALIST AND NOT A COMMUNALIST. I am not MCA or DAP. I support all incumbent Governments of the day. My ideas are within the ambits of Sovereignty and National Interest in the overall interest of all. Hence, my ideas or suggestions are for the COMMON GOOD WHICH ARE ENDURING AND NOT SELF-SERVING.

    Singapore’s achievements since the beginning of the Cold War in 1948 to its first recession in 2002 maybe attributed to 2 MAIN FACTORS :-

    1. THE BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES OF ARMS TRADING, SMUGGLING, MONEY LAUNDERING, TOADYING UP TO DICTATORS, SANCTIONS BREAKING, COLLECTING FREE VIETNAM WAR DEBRIS, US R & R, BUNKERING, AIR BASE, US AID etc. The huge profits garnered up to the end of the Cold War 1948-1989 for a tiny population of 2 million under an honest and authoritarian Government pushed Singapore from the 3rd to the 1st World. All these activities were under the aegis of Lee Kuan Yew. What has Penang got in this respect apart from a clean set of balanced books ?

    The BRICS grabbed all these goodies from Singapore after the end of the Cold War in 1989 due to Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, ‘Globalization, Free Trade and Human Rights.’ which suited the BRICS to grab trade goodies to a T !.

    2. HAS ANY MALAYSIAN HEARD OF A DR ALFRED WINSEMIUS ?

    Winsemius was a UN economics Dutch expert who was appointed Adviser to the Singapore Government in 1962. He was the sole Adviser from 1962 to 1984 with Dr Goh Keng Swee as his alter ego in Singapore. Winsemius paid 2 visits a year to Singapore to see that his advice was followed and was always accompanied by his wife. He was only paid a meagre salary throughout. It was only in 2017 that a lane in Singapore was name in his honour. What did Winsemius do which made the elites of Singapore suppress his achievements ?

    Winsemius ideas created the Jurong Industrial Park, the sea reclamations off Changi and Katong, the Asian Dollar, the GLCs, the Changi Airport, the glittering buildings we see in Singapore today etc.

    The 2 MAIN FACTORS AS MENTIONED MADE UP THE SINGAPORE OF LEE KUAN YEW who was shrewd enough to get a UN economics expert to assist.

    Therefore, the POLITICAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCENARIO AFFECTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF PENANG TODAY IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. As I said before Penang is not Singapore. Singapore is not Penang.

    My NEW PROPOSALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PENANG ARE AS FOLLOW WHICH IN NO MANNER REDUCE THE SUPPORT OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT OR BELITTLE IT BUT ONLY TO ENHANCE IT, HOPEFULLY FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS> And for its supporters and the Rakyat the immediate benefits :-

    1. Scrap the 3 islands reclamation.
    2. Scrap the Tunnel.
    3. Scrap the Highway
    4. Scrap the old Bayan Lepas Airport.
    5. Turn the Airport into the World’s Finest City, the New George Town designed by the World’s best City Planner. To the south, the sea shore is turned into a sandy beach like Honolulu, Hawaii. To the western foothills, low-cost housing, Pulau Jerejak is flattened for a small regional airport for domestic flights and helicpters with a 4 luxury liners terminal. And the Sungei Keluang its northern border.

    The finest 100 storey hotels, offices and condos will be located here. The whole of the State Government offices as well.

    The new George Town will have trams, escalated walkways, etc. all planned for 21st Century living.

    The State Government will purchase or lease from the owner the Old Airport for a nominal price. Plots of lands should be sold after approval of the City Planner’s work.

    And some funds from the Federal Government to buy up as much land as possible around the Old Airport.

    Singaporean investors will be there first.

    6. KOMTAR turned into 2 hotels one budget, the other 4 star.
    7. Funds from the sale of the New George Town and Federal assistance to up-grade the 18th Century old George Town sewerage system and the flood mitigation schemes which should be underground if possible.
    8. Parts of Old George Town pedestrianized with trams to provide transport. The State will also up-grade the buildings there.
    9. The motor Highway turned into a double track Japanese country style train system from Tanjong Bungah, via the western foothills to the New George Town and goes on to Kulim, Butterworth and Sungei Patani.
    10. A super fast train connects the New George Town and Kulim
    11. Instead of the Tunnel, the Ferry is up-graded with larger ferries which also visit Kedah, Langkawi and Pangkor, Sitiawan, North Perak.
    12. A Joint Penang-Kedah Development Council set up to facilitate employment, water, transport etc.
    13. SCRAP THE QUIT RENT AND ASSESSMENT IN THE OLD GEORGE TOWN ! Who will not support the State Government on this for 60 years !
    14. No necessity to borrow huge funds at huge risks.

    Like this, Penang will become the World’s Finest Resort for Leisure by scrapping concrete. And Kedah also becomes the World’s Finest for Eco-tourism. All these could be achieved NOW and not tomorrow.

    BUT THE CHIEF MINISTER OF PENANG SAID YESTERDAY, ‘PROPOSED MAN-MADE ISLANDS CRUCIAL FOR PENANG’S ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION.’

    Penang’s economic transformation is towards the HUGE TOURIST MARKET OF THE WORLD WHERE PENANG HAS NO RIVAL OR COMPETITOR, only Singapore ! The tourist money is good, useful and fast. The more the pushing. The more the revenue for the State Government. NO NEED RE-TRAINING OF EMPLOYEES ETC. All can serve the tourist industry immediately. Workers will flow into Penang from points South and Sabah and Sarawak. No need years of waiting for mega projects to be completed which DO NOT PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT.!.

    When the Isthmus of Kra Canal comes within 20 years, Penang and the Northern Region will boom beyond recognition. And if there is reclamation of the sea off Kota Baru, Kelantan ? THE TWO TWINS JUST JOIN HANDS AND BOOM TOGETHER.

    BOTH PENANG AND KELANTAN WILL BECOME THE RICHEST STATES OF MALAYSIA.

    Singapore did not rely on a FEASIBILITY STUDY TO SUCCEED TUN ! Their decision was POLITICAL and made in the NATIONAL INTEREST OF THE SINGAPOREANS.

    AND HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FEASIBILITY STUDY WHICH SAYS NO, TUN ? On my part, I have never seen one.

    HENCE, A POLITICAL LEADER OR MASTER MUST MAKE THE POLITICAL DECISION FOR THE GOOD OF THE RAKYAT IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST WITHIN THE PRECEPTS OF SOVEREIGNTY unlike the irresponsible phrase ‘CASH IS KING’

    Tun, all your examples of original thinking like the N-S Highway, Putrajaya, PETRONAS Towers, KLIA, Proton, Crooked Bridge, Khazanah, Senai, Langkawi, Tioman, Pangkor, creation of tycoons, private colleges and hospital etc WERE ACTUALLY VERY GOOD AND SOUND CONCEPTS. But as we now see with a beautiful hind-sight, the digits let your sound concepts down. The closest aides were another sordid story. The concrete structures remain but the human digits have long since gone ! AND YOU DID NOT RELY ON A DUTCH ECONOMIC ADVISER !

    Let us all hope COMMON SENSE PREVAILS OVER WHATEVER INTERESTS, in the NATIONAL INTEREST IN PENANG’S FORAY TO GAIN MORE REVENUE !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

    There have been two interesting letters on the subject of dissatisfaction with the existing Bankruptcy Act 1967 which have appeared in The Star since 2018.

    1. The Star Letter to Editor 25 June 2018. ‘THE BANKRUPTCY ACT NOT REVISED.’

    2. The Star Letter to Editor 2 May 2019. ‘LONG WAIT OUT OF BANKRUPTCY’

    1. On the first letter, it was alleged that the BN Minister of Law succumbed to the influence of the private financial sector to punish the bankrupts in a 19th Century Victorian manner.

    Unlike Britain Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia which all give bankrupts a second chance without the crooked interference of private financial interests like in Malaysia – 2004-2018.

    On this score, by the next 15th GE there will be nearly 1,000,000 urbanised bankrupt voters who will undoubtedly be stirred up by the Opposition against the incumbent Government if NOTHING IS DONE TO BRING MALAYSIA’S BANKRUPTCY ACT UP TO DATE LIKE BRITAIN, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG AND AUSTRALIA where bankrupts are given a second chance.

    Our YB Minister of Law in the PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE, STOOD UP RECENTLY IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT TO ASSURE THAT THE BANKRUPTS ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER BY READING SECTIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY ACT WHICH WAS NEVER REVISED AND BROUGHT UP TO DATE LIKE THAT IN BRITAIN, HONG KONG, SINGAPORE AND AUSTRALIA. With such a simple gesture, the YB MIinister THOUGHT HIS JOB WAS DONE CONCERNING OVER 500,000 SOULS WHO ARE BANKRUPT AND LOCKED IN A 19TH CENTURY VICTORIAN FASHION TO BE PUNISHED AS INFLUENCED BY THE PRIVATE FINANCIAL SECTOR AS ALLEGED. So simple, YB ?

    To highlight this fact, at present there are over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and over 100,000 young non-Malay bankrupts which add on to the over 300,000 older bankrupts. This voters will definitely vote against the incumbent Government with the support of the Opposition.

    3 BN Ministers of Law did nothing to ease the sufferings of the young bankrupts which is an opportunity lost for them to contribute meaningfully to the National economy. They just sat at home doing nothing.

    Of course, the last BN Minister of Law bluffed the bankrupts with an amendment attached which law only began to function after October 2017 ! This meant the new Attachment began with NO Bankrupts but only after October 2017. All the bankrupts were corralled in the unrevised 19th Century style Bankruptcy Act of 1967.

    But the 1982 Marriage Reform Law was fair and just. ALL MARRIAGES BEFORE 1982 WERE RECOGNISED UNLIKE THE FAKE BANKRUPTCY ACT OF THE BN GOVERNMENT !

    CAN THIS BN BLUFFER REALLY SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT BY NOT ONLY BLUFFING OVER 200,000 YOUNG MALAY BANKRUPTS BUT ANOTHER 300,000 OTHER BANKKRUPTS AS WELL ?

    2. On the second letter of justifiable complaint, this has to do with the archaic set-up of the DEPARTMENT OF INSOLVENCY.

    There have been complaints brought to my notice about this Department of Insolvency during the regime of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and the GLCs. 2004-2018. The assorted complaints were :-

    1. There were CORRUPTION IN THE DEPARTMENT OF INSOLVENCY in different forms by the digits in control of the System.

    2. ONLY ONE MEETING A YEAR TO DISCHARE THE BANKRUPTS OUT OF A TOTAL OF 400,000 OR MORE ! Only one meeting a year Tun !!! This was the cause of the alleged complaint of the second letter mentioned here. A BOTTLENECK IS CREATED TO FESTER CORRUPTION TO GET THE FIRST HEARING IN A ONCE A YEAR MEETING.

    It is time any Government of the Federation should take cognizance of its treatment of the disadvantaged not only of the aged, single mothers, orphans, drug addicts but also the BANKRUPTS.

    EXCEPT FOR MALAYSIA, THE OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD OF A SIMILAR ILK DO GIVE THEIR BANKRUPTS A SECOND CHANCE.

    It is time for the New and Incorruptible Government to GET RID OF ALL PRIVATE FINANCIAL INTERESTS INFLUENCE LIKE SHAREBROKERS, BANKS ETC like Britain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia concerning the revision of the Bankruptcy Act.

    IT IS TIME TO GET RID OF CORRUPTION IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    The 1,000,000 Malaysian bankrupts if ORGANISED WILL BE A FORMIDABLE VOTING FORCE TO BRING DOWN ANY INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT IN THE NEXT 15th GE.

    Please take note YB Minister of Law in the Prime Minister’s Office. This is a bread and butter issue not those airy-fairy, Anti Bottom Pinching , Constitution Amendments, No Death Penalty for Murderers Bills etc.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as the New and Incorruptible Government puts its heart where it should be concerning the aged, single mothers, orphans, drug addicts, bankrupts etc.. Acheh !

    After so many months, my feather friends are still with us nesting in the young banyan tree. As the Sun appears earlier in the summer, so too did these songsters which began to chirp and sing at 6.45 a.m. These are not governed by the clock but by the natural sunlight unlike our Humankind who can also work at night on an overtime basis, of course ! I was amused that the YB Minister of Agriculture remonstrated with the Rakyat not to take your pointed comment seriously.

    The interesting headlines thus

    1. ” A WASTE IF MINISTERS DON’T TAP DR M’S EXPERIENCE.”

    As I suggested before, JUST AN HOUR WITH THE PM MONTHLY BY REPORTING THE UP-DATES OF A MINISTRY WILL DO THE TRICK. How many Ministers care to do this ?

    2. ” MALAYSIA OUT TO RETRIEVE RM 29 BILLION IN MISAPPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR 1MDB SAYS DR M. ”

    A special Unit should be set-up in the Ministry of Finance with a complement of the MACC, PDRM, LHDN, BNM etc to retrieve the stolen money overseas no matter how long it will take.

    I refer all to the following publication, “THE DESPOT’S GUIDE TO WEALTH MANAGEMENT: ON THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST GRAND CORRUPTION” by Jason Sharman. Cornell University Press. Excerpt from the book –

    ” WHEN POLITICAL LEADERS STEAL FROM THEIR NATION’S COFFERS THE THEFT IS CALLED KLEPTOCRACY ”

    ” OF COURSE, MANY MORE CORRUPT LEADERS GET AWAY WITH THEIR CRIMES THAN FACE JUSTICE. BUT THE EXPECTATION THAT HOST COUNTRIES HAVE A DUTY TO TAKE ACTION IS A NEW AND IN MANY WAYS, REALLY REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT.”

    ” WATCH THIS SPACE.THIS COMBINATION OF GLOBAL RULES LEGISLATED ‘FROM ABOVE’ WITH A POWERFUL UPSURGE OF DEMAND SFOR ACCOUNTABILITY ‘FROM BELOW’BRINGS WITH IT THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESCALE AND UNPREDICTABLE CHANGE.”

    See what the terrible Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elite and GLCs have brought to the World !

    3. ” PROTON SELLS 7,011 CARS IN APRIL IN SECOND SPOT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE FEB 2016.”

    Finally, Proton has shed off all the crooked closest aides who made millions of ringgits by padding the 5 wheel rims per car.

    Selling 100,000 cars per year meant making crooked money at say charging RM 100 more per rim = an extra corrupt RM 500 per car.

    For 100,000 cars, this accrued to RM 50,000,000 for the crooked closest aides. And this is just for one single item.

    Then the factory wastes were sold at hundreds of thousands ringgits monthly.

    ALL THESE STOLEN MONEY BELONGED TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE RAKYAT.

    Evidence of all these corrupt money is to be found owning public listed companies, acres of land at Bukit Tunku, Kuala Lumpur, Stradivarius violins, banks etc. I just cannot imagine a serious manufacturer doing these crooked thefts !

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

92. Tun

    It is good very good that any piece of good news is shared amongst all of us Malaysians.

    And this morning like any other good morning even my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree began their normal chore at 6.45 a.m as soon as I opened the front door.

    What a wonderful accompaniment to the beginning of another lively day in our beloved Malaysia ! Such is Life as I and others like your good self see it too.! And here is the verbatim record of good tidings from the Nikkei Asian Review today thus

    Quote, ” MALAYSIA PMI RISES IN APRIL.

    Nikkei Malsysia Purchasing Manager’s Index or PMI move from 47.2 in March to 49.2 in April recording its highest since September 2018. Recordings above 50 indicate an expansion while those below 50 points to a contraction. The improvement was supported by foreign demand. New export orders rose for the first time in 5 months from. US, Singapore and Japan. Healthy export demand eased sentiments. Business confidence about production in the year ahead reached its highest level since October 2013.

    The PMI suggests that ‘manufacturing’ should help drive faster economic growth to just over 5% at the start of the second quarter. ” Unquote.

    How many Malaysians took note of this good piece of news for our beloved Malaysia under your Leadership, Tun ?

    It is not the first swallows which make the Indian Summer. But the first arrival of news of good tidings which will return gradually and eventually our beloved Malaysia back to her rightful place in the Sun after our horrendous experience of wanton Corruption by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and the GLCs 2004-2018. These solid data can only be achieved from honesty and hard-work over time which as reported spanned over only 10 months, 9 May 2018 – 31 March 2019 after 14 years 2004-2018 of wanton self-destruction by those in POWER.

    Kudos to the New and Incorruptible Government with DSAI and the Team by your side.

    More good news will come with the strong US economy.

    Unfortunately, palm oil is on the weak side due to EU politics. Otherwise all is well. Our job is now to create more jobs for all and this would begin with the ECRL, Bandar Malaysia, the New Proposals for Penang etc In these we trust your Leadership.

    SUCCESS FOR YOU AND ALL IS JUST A WHISPER AROUND THE CORNER, TUN.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

93. Tun

    Two interesting headlines this morning, thus :-

    1. ‘ ZURAIDA TO HELM CHINESE NEW VILLAGES ‘

    2. ‘ PROPERTY OVERHANG CONTINUES TO INCREASE ‘

    YB Zuraida is my favourite lady Minister. She talks sense all the time which means she thinks sense all the time.

    This is good for a person who is a Minister to lead and implement Policies to produce the right results which benefit the Rakyat. I am certain she will succeed where GENERATIONS OF MCA BIG WIGS FAILED.

    As with social matters, the pitfalls are many due to the ineffective and incompetent MCA Leaders in the later years of the 20th Century as the young and dynamic MCA leaders of the 1950s and the 1960s grew old. This attrition of the MCA leaderships in the New Villages was compounded by the emigration of the young to the towns to earn a better living. Now, the New Villages are full of aged folk who are waiting to live their days out.

    Age old issues like citizenships, land titles, red ICs, empty schools, non-existent public facilities, clinics etc are the works cut out for the YB Minister who I feel is the right person for this job. Even if YB Minister is able to move this mountain one inch, this should be consider a great success – such is the task which lies before her.

    KUDOS TO THE PRIME MINISTER TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE AND THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT FOR THIS VISIONARY AND REALISTIC APPOINTMENT OF YB MINISTER ZURAIDA to this important socio-economic job which will be a template for all RURAL VILLAGES TO COME.

    2. As expected the over-hang in surplus residential properties all over the country must be the responsibility of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and the GLCs 2004-2018.

    The modus operandi in China is the same as in Malaysia but it is larger by at least 1,000 times. In practice, the political socio-economic system is similar. Hence the pitfalls are similar.

    What to do ? We cannot sit around doing nothing. The banks must be fidgety too. And the developers, the Johnny-come-lately who are caught at the lower reaches of the downturn, would have sold NOTHING.

    Of course there are cogent reasons for the New and Incorruptible Government to hold back the requisite stimuli until its coffers are back to a normal keel and also its supportive policies with the banks are firm and strong.

    But between the devil and the deep blue sea, I suggest that JOINT PROMOTIONS OF UNSOLD PROPERTIES BY BOTH THE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEVELOPERS SHOULD BE LAUNCHED IN CHINA, INDIA, MIDDLE EAST, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG ETC AS RECOMMENDED by those in the know as soon as possible. The money spent will be miniscule but the returns if sales are achieved are laudable. IN OTHER WORDS, AN INTENSIVE PR EXERCISE TO SELL IS A GAP WHICH MAY HAVE TO BE FILLED IN THE INTERIM PERIOD.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

94. Tun

    For HBT456, as a qualified doctor, I diagnose you as a case of full-blown SENILE DEMENTIA who should be barred from ALL BLOGS IN THE WORLD. You are No.71 on my list who lost to my KARMA under the category of BRAIN DEAD. Well-done you worked yourself against me for no good reason and now you are listed as No.71.

95. Tun

    With your permission, this comment is just for the yellow slimy spineless worm of a useless Chinaman cowardly hiding behind a fake name.- If you have any brilliance and courage like our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, you would not hide behind a fake name and attack and made snide remarks against me the only Chinese here contributing meaningfully and constructively to the well-being of our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat including lowly worms like you. Your intense frustration with yourself and your jealousy of others show in every one of your stupid and incoherent comments. STOP IT YOU FOOL AND STOP MENTIONING MY NAME AND GO WORSHIP YOUR GOD LEE KUAN YEW.

96. WHICH SINGAPOREAN INVESTOR WOULD NOT RUSH TO INVEST IN THE NEW GEORGE TOWN ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem KEEP SMILING !

    RUSH to invest in new George Town treating property buyers, the fixed income contributor to hedge against future inflation due to jimat cermat by offering horrible quality of property?

    When will the case of arul a/l kandasamy who changed his name to azrul kanda kandasamy to be trialed, mubarakchan?

    Who is he?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arul_Kanda_Kandasamy

    If he is not trial first, then, i could assume dsai may be a interim or forever in waiting perdana menteri.

    Today, tony fernandez said dont burden tourists so that everyone can fly by lowering the price to stay competive as budget airline.

    A couple of days later, an infant of 2 months was allowed to fly with air asia died on this budget airline owned by malaysian management though they are diretors of indian and malay races.

    You dont believe in karma, mubarakchan?

    Poor dad vs rich dad?

    Am i racist?

    You go do the math yourself.

    P/s: dia hilang wang sebanyak 10 millions kerana dia pilih quantity vs dia untung 10 millions kerana dia pilih quality, which way suits you when you are talking about long term investment?

97. Tun

    WHICH SINGAPOREAN INVESTOR WOULD NOT RUSH TO INVEST IN THE NEW GEORGE TOWN ?

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem KEEP SMILING !

98. Tun,

    I wonder if the Penang State Government is savvy enough to realise that by closing down the Bayan Lepas Airport, it could be turned into a GOLD MINE for the State ? It is like this.

    1. The Federal Government will be pleased that the Bayan Lepas Airport close down because this will give an added flip to the Kulim International Airport which becomes a full-fledged airport with all the services and facilities.

    2. As a second step, the Penang State Government either purchase or obtain a 99 year lease from the owner of the Bayan Lepas Airport land say at RM 1 Billion.

    3. The State then sell off the purchased or leased land on a 99 year lease for a profit. This should accrue to billions of ringgits in the near future.

    4. The State obtains a long term Loan from the now accommodative Federal Government to buy up all the FTZ lands and whatever property is available adjoining the old Bayan Lepas Airport.

    5. The State on sells the non-Bayan Lepas lands to private investors for a profit.

    6. All the profits from the sale of the Bayan Lepas and non-Bayan Lepas lands by the State are channelled to the upgrading of the old George Town sewerage works and the flood mitigation schemes.

    7. All the State Government buildings in the Old George Town will be re-located to the New George Town. Others will automatically follow.

    8. Federal financial assistance is sought for the Japanese country style train which runs along the Highway between Tanjong Bungah and circuitously via the New George Town, Kulim International and Butterworth.with possible extensions to Sungei Patani.

    9. Scrap all Quit Rent and Assessment in the Old George Town.

    10. Supporters of the Penang State Government are given opportunities in the New George Town literally immediately. Where else but the New George Town ?

    11. Penang becomes one of the richest States in Malaysia and becomes the Numero Uno of the Holiday Resort and Leisure of the World without much effort, money and time.

    12. The Rakyat will be delighted with this NEW APPROACH BY THE PENANG STATE GOVERNMENT which should rule for the next 60 years.

    Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No more problem. Keep smiling. Another feather of achievement in your cap by your New and Incorruptible Government.

99. Tun

    Even though this morning is overcast with foreboding grey clouds which threaten to rain, to me it was another wonderful morning in a land blessed with all the good and normal things one would expect in our beloved Malaysia.

    Even our friendly and chirpy bulbuls got up earlier than usual at 6.49 a.m. and began the chore of chirping and singing having disappeared for a few days from the young banyan tree probably to China like some of our distinguished Malaysians.

    Due to a dire lack of interesting headlines this morning which means we are slowly getting back to a normal day’s work without any fake news manufactured by the Opposition media, I will raise my own topic which is :-

    ” Are the Malaysians aware how fortunate we are that the People’s Republic of China as led by President Xi Jin-ping is pushing forward with the Belt and Road Initiative.”

    Unlike any other Aid which was promoted by the United States in the distant past, China promoted the Belt and Road Initiative as a joint venture between Sovereign Nations. This is the best formula for development for all the Nations which fall within the ambit of the Belt and Road Initiative.

    But if a country is led by a gang of crooks, then, who can blame China who is not the policeman for the World’s morals.

    For example, our beloved Malaysia was nearly sold off to Singapore via the TPPA/CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer and over-padded the ECRL by RM 20 Billion which is a lot of the Rakyat’s money, by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs 2004-2018.

    With the launch of both the ECRL and the Bandar Malaysia, the vital stimuli for our beloved Malaysia are not only in place but seen to begin to work immediately. The fall-out from these two Projects will trigger other developments as yet unknown.

    As far as I know, there are already foreign interest in hotel developments in Melaka and points beyond. Surely, the Singaporean investors are not far behind in 2019 ?

    We should not expect the Bursa to show much vitality these days as it is hampered by over-development by the construction companies which are likewise having to regain confidence and rapport again with the New and Incorruptible Government within 12 months, the low price of petroleum which hits the bunch of small companies over-dependent on one customer PETRONAS. Similarly the plantation companies are affected and compounded by the hideous corruption in the FELDA Group. The rest of the Bursa companies are small and cater to a select few only. With this scenario, an investor cannot expect the financials to move at all in the near future.

    Hence, against this dim background of Malaysia’s financial well-being we have a couple of strong points which have arisen since 9 Nay 2018 :-

    1. THE TOTAL ABSENCE OF THE STENCH OF CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.

    2. THE RE-ENGAGEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ON NORMAL TERMS WHICH GIVE RISE TO THE ECONOMIC STUMULI TO COME eg. THE ECRL AND THE BANDAR MALAYSIA.

    With the lead characters now in place and in play, it is up to States like Penang whether the Singapore Copy-cat Master Plan should be scrapped and go for a practical, cheap, fast and friendly Rakyat and environment Development Plan or not is the S$ 1 question ? Or is Selangor brave enough to amalgamate Petaling Jaya, Subang and Sunway into a huge city to compete with Kuala Lumpur in support of the bigger moves which have been elicited.

    For Penang and Selangor, the supporters of the State Government should clap their hands with glee IF THESE STATES LEADERSHIPS HAVE THE BRILLIANCE, COURAGE AND GUMPTION LIKE OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD.

    By sheer coincidence, all the essential ingredients to make a wonderful cake for all in a win-win situation for all are available and for the asking and doing. Time is of the essence if these folks have any inkling to rule for the next 60 years.

    Malaysian Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

100. Tun

     Our heartiest welcome home to you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah for having represented our beloved Malaysia in the best of both Worlds – the World of a resurgent and emergent group of Nations in support of the Belt and Road Initiative and Malaysia, one of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia since 9 May 2018.

     These are not trying times but great and exciting times for all Nations which have the vision and the inclination to see what is good the Belt and Road Initiative will bring and do for their communities. And as President Xi promised, the Belt and Road Forums will be held regularly.

     It is important to note too, that under your brilliant and courageous Premiership, Tun with DSAI and the Team by your side, the Belt and Road Initiative is indeed a fortuitous event and happening for our beloved Malaysia. Why ?

     It is because the Belt and Road Initiative has declared objectives which jive with our beloved Malaysia’s own objectives and pretensions.

     IT WAS GOOD TO SEE AND HEAR THAT YOU HAVE GRASPED THE BELT AND ROAD INITIATIVE WITH BOTH HANDS IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S NATIONAL INTEREST.!

     And what could our beloved Malaysia gained out of all these ominous developments in the National Interest ?

     As a first step, I foresee the coming of the following developments due to the momentum created by you and detailed by Tun Daim arising from the ECRL and Bandar Malaysia thus :-

     1. THE AMALGAMATION OF PETALING JAYA, SUBANG JAYA AND SUNWAY INTO A MEGA CITY TO COMPETE WITH KUALA LUMPUR. This move will enhance the values of landed properties and businesses therein and spread manufacturing activities outwards to the less developed areas.

     .Selangor State will have within its environs 3 Mega cities of note, Putrajaya/Cyberjaya, Kuala Lumpur, and the New City of Petaling Jaya/Subang/Sunway. How many countries can do this ?

     2. THE PROPOSED RECLAMATION OF THE SEA OFF KOTA BARU TO CREATE A LAND MASS AS BIG AS SINGAPORE FOR THE PEOPLES OF KELANTAN WHO WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO FLOODS ANYMORE.

     This is in line with the Belt and Road Initiative and in anticipation of the Isthmus of Kra Canal to come within 20 years. A new metro-polis based on what had been done in Dubai and other places in the Middle East. Where else but Malaysia during this tenure of your brilliant and courageous Leadership ?

     This sea reclamation is not only rewarding but socio-economically feasible which ONLY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERRNMENT CAN ACHIEVE !

     3. TJE PROPOSED CREATION OF THE NEW GEORGE TOWN ON THE SITE OF THE BAYAN LEPAS AIRPORT INTO THE FINEST CITY IN THE WORLD BY THE MOST FAMOUS TOWN PLANNER OF THE WORLD. Like the Twin Petronas Towers, all tourists will visit Penang for a look-see.- Penang becomes the Numero Uno of the World of Resorts and Leisure.

     Scrap the tunnel. Scrap the highway. Scrap the 3 islands reclamation. Scrap the concrete. All are a sheer waste of money and TIME. And also these are not in the interests of the Rakyat.

     The New Proposals are fast, cheap, practical and cost little money and time.

     4. Create a mega-Ministry to overseer all RURAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE INTERESTS OF THE RURAL FOLK.

     DO IT LIKE WHAT JAPAN AND SWITZERLAND ARE DOING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR HIGHLY INDUSTRIALIZED COMPLEXES.

     In other words, there should be NO CORRUPTION WITH EVERY SEN. All monies are geared to make the rural folk successful in their undertakings and happy with their environment which should never be neglected arising from the fall-out of benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative..

     We must be one of the most advanced countries in the World in terms of agricultural socio-economics instead of hiding in academic enclaves and shoot off meaninglessly diatribes daily.

     It is the vast expanse of the rural landscape which needs the VISION AND CARE OF A GOOD AND YOUNG YB MINISTER IN CHARGE OF THIS HUGE MINISTRY OF RURAL SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT which at the moment is scattered here and there with no cohesion as to purpose or objective.

     IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE HUGE SUMS OF MONEY SAVED FROM WANTON CORRUPTION SHOULD BE MADE TO WORK FOR THIS MINISTRY AND THE RURAL FOLK – A PRIDE OF PLACE IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA which is actually bountiful of agricultural products but NEGLECTED AND AFFECTED BY CORRUPTION ELSEWHERE 2003-2018.

     Tun, who says there is NOTHING FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO DEVELOP ?

     The list under your Premiership is as long as our arms, thus :-

     1. THE NEW CITY OF PETALING JAYA, SUBANG AND SUNWAY

     2. THE NEW GEORGE TOWN AND THE UPGRADING OF THE OLD GEORGE TOWN WITH ITS 19TH CENTURY SEWARAGE SYSTEM AND FLOOD MITIGATION SCHEMES COUPLED WITH A PRACTICAL LIGHT RAILWAY JAPANESE STYLE IN PLACE OF THE HIGHWAY.

     3. THE RECLAMATION OF THE SEA OFF KOTA BARU – THE SIZE OF SINGAPORE TO CREATE A NEW MEGA-POLIS FOR THE KELANTANESE AND THE NATION.

     4. A HUGE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE SOCIO-ECONOMICS FOR THE RURAL FOLK TO BRING UP SUCH ACTIVITIES TO THE LEVEL OF JAPAN AND SWITZERLAND.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem. We trust and support your Leadership in the ESSENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. No more. No less. Which can only be achieved without CORRUPTION and the Belt and Road Initiative which you so rightly grasped with both hands to turn it to our benefit and advantage in the National Interest.

101. Tun

     With your kind permission again, this is for HBT456 the coward of a yellow slimy spineless worm of a useless Chinaman behind the fake name. – You asked me whether I believe in KARMA. I don’t. But I have a list of 70 names of the lowest to the highest who harmed me like you and suffered for it. They either died, the youngest was 40 or their wives and children died or suffered. You have worked yourself onto the list out of your own volition. How I wish these recalcitrant did not cheat or steal from me. They would have lived or I did not lose money. Let me have your email address and I send you the List or give me a ring when you are not around.

102. To the current or ex office boys, delivery boys and penunggang motorsikal, when on the road out there not to buat u turn when traffic light is flashing red light ya walaupun pun selepas time kerja kerana aksi ini akan menjadi cara kebiasaanmu, dan boleh mengundang muat kepada diri anda dan orang lain because this is how our brain muscle memory works.

     Who am i is not important since i am just only an ordinary and responsible voter who cares for my country.

     Silent voters in general do not like to complain, but when general election is called, they will cast their votes to make their voice heard.

     Good luck, and all the best to the appointed contestants, and thank you.

103. Tun

     For the HBT456 an embedded Lee Kuan Yew digit of no locus standi because he is a coward who hides behind a fake name. His brief is to create dissension amongst us Malaysians. HBT 456 is not even a Chinese. HE ATTACKS ME BECAUSE HE HAS RUN OUT OF TOPICS DUE TO HIS DERANGED MADNESS. Stupid. How long are you going to carry on like this on behalf of your god Lee Kuan Yew ? Show us who you really are ? An ex-office boy ?

104. With your kind permission again, this is only for HBT456 the coward of a yellow slimy spineless worm of a useless Chinaman who hides behind a fake name.- I AM CERTAIN YOU ARE NOT EVEN A CHINESE .YOU ARE MENTALLY DERANGED. YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF NOTICED BY ATTACKING THE ONLY CHINESE HERE IN THIS DISTINGUISED BLOG. You are not only a FOOL but also AN IDIOT. In your Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore, you would not only be banned from opening your mouth but would have been washed down the Singapore River under his 2 Child Family of 1972-1984 abortions. Stupid.

     Stupid?

     Do you believe in karma, mubarakchan?

     I do not want to use this word, but the only word that i can think is ‘pariah’ attitude can never be changed.

     I dont think malaysians in general can accept such attitude.

     Once again, thank you for allowing me to post my comments in this blog. i have enough of such horendous politics of “I BELIEVE IN MY BELOVED COUNTRY MALAYSIA RIGHT OR WRONG”.

     Right or wrong of man proposes, god disposes with malay biased policy of forever got tomorrow one even when it is wrong?

     The bad news is 1mdb is a scandal, and felda global venture is only meant to rich syariah mps and wr only.

     The good news is everyone is aware of these bad news.

     Boleh means boleh.

     Tak boleh means tak boleh.

     Good luck and all the best to all the appointed contestants.

     I rest my case.

105. Tun

     With your kind permission again, this is only for HBT456 the coward of a yellow slimy spineless worm of a useless Chinaman who hides behind a fake name.- I AM CERTAIN YOU ARE NOT EVEN A CHINESE .YOU ARE MENTALLY DERANGED. YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE YOURSELF NOTICED BY ATTACKING THE ONLY CHINESE HERE IN THIS DISTINGUISED BLOG. You are not only a FOOL but also AN IDIOT. In your Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore, you would not only be banned from opening your mouth but would have been washed down the Singapore River under his 2 Child Family of 1972-1984 abortions. Stupid.

106. For HBT456 only with your kind permission. IF YOU ARE BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS LIKE OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, DO NOT HIDE COWARDLY BEHIND A FAKE NAME AND ATTACK THE ONLY LOYAL AND HONEST CHINESE IN THIS DISTINGUISHED BLOG. Shameless creature of the lowest order. I BELIEVE IN MY BELOVED COUNTRY MALAYSIA RIGHT OR WRONG. NO LEE KUAN YEW OR FAKE CHINESE LIKE YOU, FOR ME.

     Honesty, or you have been too long in power that you took voter sentiments for granted, mubarakchan?

     If thats the honesty in which mubarakchan is looking at, then, i have nothing more to say since i am not a member of any political parties in this country.

     It is up to the political parties of the divide to work out their political campaign strategy to win vote, then, decide which way to go that benefit them.

     To me whoever become perdana menteri and menteri besar, i still have work, live and enjoy life, and vote and pay bills and taxes.

     Benefit of doubts is always there, so it is up to the political parties and media of the divides to do their part in story telling to win votes.

     Some issue you boleh tutup sebelah mata, but some issues, you tak boleh tutup sebelah mata.

     Kenapa beliau boleh, kenapa aku tak boleh?

     Only fools and liars will ask such question.

     Why?

     Because mubarakchan really believe without malay and muslim votes, this country can never form malaysia kut.

     You have alot to answer and twist, mubarakchan, and all the best to you.

     P/s: citizens contribute income to the federal and state government via taxation law. citizens are not penghutang kepada kerajaan persekutuan mahupun negeri, please get this fact right.

107. Tun

     For HBT456 only with your kind permission.

108. If you dont like Chinaman, thats your problem, but when comes to public money, thats my problem also.

     Dulu MCA is Make Chinese Angry.

     Kini, DAP is Dapat Approved Permit.

     Gerakan is neither here nor there.

     Are you ready?

109. Tun

     With your kind permission, this is just for HBT456. ” I told you to stop mentioning my name you yellow slimy spineless worm of a useless Chinaman hiding behind a fake name.’ Stop it. I say.

110. Tun

     It augurs well that you and the Delegation are in Beijing, the rising and dynamic capital not only of China but the World.

     It befits your international stature as a recognised World Wide Statesman of note at the present time in the 21st Century. You are certainly making real and true History for our beloved Malaysia and the World.

     My felicitations and best wishes for your every success during your important 5 days sojourn in the formidable People’s Republic of China.

     And as for the daily headlines which report our daily events, these became less today with your ominous departure for China yesterday, thus

     1. NSTP. 25 April 2019 – ‘ BOUSTEAD PLANTATIONS TO MONETISE ESTATES ‘ No true plantation resorts to this.

     2. The Star. 25 April 2019 – ‘ BOUSTEAD GROUP SEES RETURN TO PROFITABILITY ‘- Really ?

     3. Financial Daily 25 April 2019 – One headline contradicts another.

     Page 4. ‘ BOUSTEAD OPTIMISTIC ABOUT REVERSING FINANCIAL FORTUNES.’

     Page 8. ‘ BOUSTEAD PLANTATIONS UNSURE IF IT CAN RETURN TO THE BLACK.’.

     4. ‘ NUMBER OF MATRICULATION SLOTS INCREASED TO 40,000 FROM 25,000.’
     News not bad but can be much better. Think !

     5. ‘ MATRICULATION SEATS INCREASED, QUOTA REMAINS. ‘

     On Headlines 1, 2 & 3, it irks me to read such mis-leading headlines from a once reputable plantation company.

     For those who think I know nothing about the plantation industry, rubber and oil palm, my first stint in business was to clean up my family’s corrupt rubber estate in North Johor and was the first Malaysian to plant oil palms in the Private Sector when the British Colonial Agencies lifted their Moratorium on the sale of oil palm seedlings to the locals in 1965. I was directly managing the estate for 7 years and reduced the cost of our rubber to 32 sens per lb.

     Here are the facts on how a plantation should be managed which have not changed for 100 years and should not change for another 100 years because the whole plantation business is INELASTIC WHERE THERE IS NO BREATHING SPACE FOR MONKEY BUSINESS IF IT IS GOING TO BE SUSTAINABLE AND PROFITABLE.

     The precepts or seeds of managing a good plantation were brought into this country by the British arising from their experiences in tropical West Indies, British Guiana and West Africa from the 18th to the 19th Century.

     And now the Trustees of the Malay Trusts have ruined the oil palm plantations under their Trust completely BECAUSE MONEY TO BAIL OUT THESE ESTATES IS NOT LIKE BAILING AN ORDINARY COMPANY.

     Much time and effort were spent in getting the oil palms to produce efficiently and profitably which are in turn governed by factors beyond our control eg. World prices and trends, climate and unexpected circumstances.

     In my Life, I only met 3 Trustees whom I respect and regard as TRUSTWORTHY, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HONEST from the Public Sector eg. Tan Sri Taib Andak. Tan Sri Basir Ismail and YM Raja Tan Sri Alias. Those who came after them brought the horrific results of managing a Trust Plantation their WAY which we see today e.g.

     i) THE BOUSTEAD PLANTATIONS.

     It was alleged some very expensive plantations were bought before the RM 740 Million Tawau pondan oil palm estate in THE MOST INACESSIBLE PART OF MALAYSIA.

     Not only that, this Pondan oil palm estate is not a single block BUT IN SMALL SECTIONS SEPARATED FROM EACH OTHER SITED ON HILLY AND INFERTILE SOIL. The annual FFB was reputed to be 10 tonnes per hectare compared with the National Average of 20-24 tonnes per hectare.

     IN OTHER WORDS TOP RINGGIT WAS PAID FOR A USELESS PONDAN ESTATE WHICH NO ONE WANTED TO BUY FOR OVER 20 YEARS by one of the once most reputable plantation companies in the land.

     What is a PONDAN OIL PALM ?

     A Pondan Oil Palm is an oil palm which does not produce any fruits of note because from young it was under-nourished by being planted in infertile soil or badly neglected by the lack of fertilizer or maintenance.

     MONEY IN ANY AMOUNT WILL NOT TURN A PONDAN OIL PALM BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. An oil palm has a life of 25 years of FFB production which is ruined forever.

     WHAT BOUSTEAD PAID RM 740 MILLION FOR IS JUST 11,OOO+ ACRES OF ROCKY AND HILLY INFERTILE LAND FULL OF PONDAN OIL PALMS IN THE MOST INACESSIBLE PART OF MALAYSIA !

     In other words, Boustead bought NOTHING because no amount of money put into such an estate will ever turn it around because it was NOT A NORMAL OIL PALM ESTATE IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.

     The above-mentioned Trustees of a Malay Trust abused their Trust which the Trust should take action and retrieve the financials from BOTH THE BUYER AND THE SELLER. This is only FAIR AND JUST. Bail-outs from the Government is not the solution to this incurable problem.

     ii) FELDA.

     This Malay Trust and its fables and foibles are well-documented by doing the UNTHINKABLE !

     That is FELDA HAD A CASH RESERVE FOR ITS PLANTATION ACTIVITIES OF RM 6 BILLION, IT ENDED UP NOW WITH A DEBT OF RM 14 BILLION. How to administer a plantation like this ?

     IT IS AN AGE-OLD STANDARD PRACTICE IN MANAGEING PLANTATIONS THAT IT IS RECOGNISED THAT THE PALM OIL IS SUBJECTED TO WORLD TRENDS IN THE PRICE OF THE OIL WHICH IS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF A PLANTER. THEREFORE, A MINIMUM OF 30% OF THE PROFITS ON AN UPTURN IN PRICE MUST BE PUT ASIDE AS CASH RESERVE – the more the better in safeguarding the bottomless downturn in a commodity price. THIS IS THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE WHICH IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF A PERSON MANAGING AN ESTATE.

     In Boustead Plantations which debt from zero zoomed up to over RM 1.4 Billion and FELDA with a cash reserve for plantations, which debt zoomed up to RM 14 Billion, we can only assume as planters that THE PLANTATIONS OF THESE TWO GROUPS HWVE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE TRUSTEES WHICH NO BAIL-OUTS CAN SAVE PERMANENTLY.

     RESERVE CASH IN ANY PLANTATION COMPANY CANNOT BE INVESTED OUTSIDE ITS PLANTATION BUSINESS IF A PERSON UNDERSTANDS THIS PECULIAR INDUSTRY ! Its gestation period for oil palms to produce is long and no one can foresee the future which lies ahead.

     iii) SIME DARBY

     For a student of the FAILURE OF THE PLANTATION INDUSTRY UNDER THE MALAY TRUSTS AND THEIR TRUSTEES, HE WOULD FIND THAT THE SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT STARTED IT ALL WHICH WAS FOLLWED BY THE REST OF THE TRUSTS, thus :-

     i) SELLING VALUABLE ESTATE LAND IN 1990 TO A CHINESE MCA LEADER AT A GIVE AWAY PRICE OF ONLY RM 4 MILLION ITS NOVA SCOTIA ESTATE OF 2,000 ACRES WHICH WAS FLIPPED OVER TO SELANGOR PERANGSANG AND A CHINESE TAN SRI TALAM FOR RM 88 MILLION – WITHOUT THE BOARD’S CONSENT ! Very daring ! RM 88 MLLION MUST BE THE MINIMUM PRICE WHICH I RECKON SHOULD BE AT LEAST RM 150 – 200 MILLION. The Sime Darby Management lost for the Malay Trust and its Beneficiary PNB RM 146 – 196 Million. SIME DARBY SOLD CHEAP AND LOST RM 146 – 196 MILLION MALAY TRUST MONEY.

     In 1992, the Sime Darby wanted me to approve the PURCHASE OF A SABAH PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE FOR RM 32 MILLION WHEN NO ONE WANTED TO BUY FOR RM 20 MILLION FOR 20 YEARS. I OBJECTED AND RESIGNED. Very daring. The seller was a crooked Chinese. SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT BUYS EXPENSIVE AND GIVES AWAY PRECIOUS MALAY TRUST MONEY TO A CROOKED CHINESE. The same exercise was carried out in Boustead Plantations and FELDA.

     Sime Darby bought the huge Liberian estate which NO ONE wanted in EBOLA LAND. By the same token, NO ONE wants to buy it now.

     From the above-mentioned facts, the Government can only bail out all these destroyed estates TEMPORARILY.

     ALL THE TRUSTEES OF THE MALAY TRUSTS AND THEIR CHINESE BUYERS OR SELLERS HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR SUCH TITANIC LOSSES SUFFERED BY THE MALAY TRUSTES AND THEIR BENEFICIARIES. THEIR HUGE SUMS OF MONEY DEPOSITED OVERSEAS ARE TO BE RETRIEVED AND RETURNED TO THE MALAY TRUSTS BECAUSE BAIL-OUTS BY THE GOVERNMENT CAN ONLY BE TEMPORARY AND ARE ADDITIONAL LOANS WHICH A PLANTATION CANNOT BEAR.

     4 & 5 Headlines

     Kudos to the Minister of Education for increasing the Matriculation slots from 25,000 to 40,000.

     WHY NOT INCREASE THE SLOTS TO 100,000 AND LET THE QUOTA REMAIN TEMPORARILY YB ?

     The Rakyat will LOVEe you for this significant gesture and carve your good name in stone ! This should be the pay-back for our long suffering Rakyat from 2004-2018, YB !

     JUST LOOK AT THE ABUSE OF MALAY TRUST FUNDS AS MENTIONED ABOVE BY THE TRUSTEES WHO WERE APPOINTED IN TRUST BY THE RAKYAT !

     THE BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF RINGGITS WHICH DISAPPEARED FROM THE TRUSTS INTO THIN AIR BENEFITTING SOME PHANTOMS AND NOT 100,000 YOUNG AND GOOD MALAYSIANS ! Just ponder on the abuses and horrific acts of these untrustworthy Trustees and their Chinese or foreign buyers or sellers..

     YB for not more than RM 50 Million, not Billions, you earn the LOVE AND KISSES OF A GENERATION OF YOUNG MALAYSIANS ! Why not ? Only less than RM 50 Million for our young Malaysians and NOT FOR ENNOBLED CROOKS AND THEIR CROOKED CHINESE FRIENDS OR FOREIGNERS.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Your YB Minister of Education is an honourable and good man who can make the Rakyat LOVE him if the slots are raised to 100,000 ! Why not from a New and Incorruptible Government which should rule for another 60 years ?

111. Hawker food is our cultures and traditions tak kisah halal atau tak halal since we have enough laws to govern them via political parties of the divides.

     But when comes to 1 sided politics, these cultures and traditions would be replaced by fast food players due to massive industraliazation tanpa pedulikan the impact to the people keranamu malaysia boleh is being played this time after 1 malaysia had ended with dsn.

     I am not racist against you mubarakchan, but the way you flip your comments proven that you are a very impatient man and could lead to internal fighting within political parties.

     I am not a member of any political parties, but i loose hope with the political parties of the divide in stirring up with race and religion issues to dictate the federal budget.

     Healthy competition is good, but when healthy competition is not allowed due to nep, then, the winner of the day is doom to feel disappointed.

     If being frank can be perceived as racist, then, they really have to ask themselves again, are they not rich enough, or are they the ungrateful lot with greedy and fearless mindset?

112. TAY SHOULD BE SACKED ON THE SPOT FOR BEING A FAKE !

     Huh, i beg your pardon, mubarakchan?

     Who are you to sack mr tay of ubs, singapore?

     Winner of general election can sack any mps and wr who seem to be dalang atau musuh to his or her ambition in democratic country, tak gitu?

     Similarly, political parties and voters too can sack the winner so that they win and re-write history, tak gitu?

     World bank’s presidency is traditionally hold by usa, and in 2019, it is temporary hold by belgium, with hq in usa.

     Mr trump is lobbying his daughter ivanka trump to hold world bank’s new presidency, can you accept as south east asian, mubarakchan?

     International monetary fund is set by eu, and their managing directors must be from the country under european union, is that clear now?

     The sentiment of the local share market now is in bullish mood, but bullish mood can turn bearish mood when the head of sc does not do their job with the right attidutes.

     Why?

     We are in 2019, bukan, 1989.

     P/s: will the land of kampong baru, felda, in saturated kl to be cleared off for another high rise icon under ph, i am not sure. but i know if this iconic structure is push through, then, ph must prepare to loose votes.

113. Tun

     This is a quiet day but there are only two headlines of note which concern one attempt to down Malaysia’s political and financial resilience and another to put our focus in the right place, the fundamentals.

     1. ” UBS ADMITS MISTAKES MADE BY OFFICIAL’S APPRAISAL OF MALAYSIA.”

     2. ” WORLD BANK TO MALAYSIA – FOCUS LESS ON STOCK MARKET, MORE ON FUNDAMENTALS. ”

     1. UBS was one of the darling banks of Lee Kuan Yew before the Crash of October 2008. He was sucked into UBS by its good name and the willy ways of the then CEO who paid himself very high salaries. After the Crash, UBS was found to have been mired in all sorts of illegal activities and had to be bailed out by its major shareholders like Singapore. Now, Singapore is the largest shareholder.

     The fake official of UBS who denigrated Malaysia with fake information is just underlining what Lee Kuan Yew said in the past, ‘HE WHO PAYS THE PIED PIPER PLAYS THE TUNE.’

     Therefore, Tay is just a mouthpiece echoing fake information against Malaysia’s SUCCESS. This reflects badly on UBS as well by permitting Tay, a fake, to use UBS as a forum to do down Malaysia world-wide.

     TAY SHOULD BE SACKED ON THE SPOT FOR BEING A FAKE !

     2 There have been attempts by fakes in the Opposition media to stir up interest to stimulate the Bursa.

     Because of the lack of enforcement by the Bursa and the Securities Commission from 2004-2018, the share-riggers were in full play causing losses to the many small investors. These illegal acts were condoned by the SC which were involved from the top to the bottom.

     Even one illegal share-rigging syndicate which made over RM 1 Billion or more over a 15 year period was let off scot-free. With such weak enforcement of the laws, WHO WANTS TO INVEST IN THE BURSA ANYMORE ?

     Even the World Bank had noticed that the Bursa is corrupt due to the lack of enforcement by the SC. Because of this, the World Bank’s advice to avoid the Bursa but focus on the fundamentals is as true as an arrow.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until the last Corrupt Agency, the Securities Commission is cleaned up, no investor will invest in the Bursa because the big illegal share rigging syndicates were permitted to get away scot free at the small investors expense !

114. Tun,

     Another fine day for us Malaysians living in our beloved Malaysia.

     But our heartfelt and deepest condolences for the families of the Sir Lankan terrorist bombing victims must hold sway.

     A tragic consequence of World wide terrorism which arose from the unbridled consequences of World history and were well beyond the control of the man or woman in the street. Nevertheless, as decent Humankind we sympathise, succour and assist the unfortunate whenever we could which you have done magnanimously in your humble manner, Tun.

     As the saying goes, ‘PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE’ or our SECURITY AUTHORITIES MUST BE ON ALERT ALL THE TIME IN THIS TUMULTOUS WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE TO PREVENT HARM TO OUR INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

     And today, a day very near to the 1st Anniversary of the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs, the Rakyat can already discern some solid results from the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great.

     Many Manifesto promises cannot be turned off or on like a switch. Some might take time because of unexpected damage due to wanton corruption or nepotism. But it could be discerned that whatever possible to be done quickly, had been done in the shortest possible time span.

     All in all, your YB Ministers are LOYAL TO OUR YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG AND THE CONSTITUTION, AND BEST OF ALL, TO YOU AS THEIR PRIME MINISTER.

     Let us hope with the minimum of fuss, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat will march upwards and forwards to the beat of our own drums, and not Singapore’s, towards the likes of Visionary Switzerland which took 800 years, Democratic India 5,000 years and Good Governance Japan, 3,000 years..

     We do it in our unique Malaysian Way, Quiet and Humble. And the blessings which came were :-

     1. A PRIME MINISTER WHO IS BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS.

     2. THE OUSTING OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCS.

     3. A LOYAL CABINET OF MINISTERS AND ONE AIDE WHO ARE KEEN TO DO THE JOB.

     4. RESOLUTION OF THE ECRL WHICH IS FAIR AND REGAINED RESPECT FOR THE SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS A PROUD, DIGNIFIED AND RESPECTED NATION and not like some cheap crooks lining their pockets.

     5. THE RISE IN THE PRICE OF PETROLEUM IN RECENT DAYS.

     6. THE RECOGNITION OF OUR PRIME MINISTER INTERNATIONALLY BY PAKISTAN, THE TIME MAGAZINE ETC.

     And it is good to note also that our beloved Prime Minister always tackled problems with common sense, logic and consideration for Humanity by facing problems head-on and not sweeping them under the carpet or blame others.

     Exciting headlines this morning thus,

     1. ‘DR M’s CHINA MEETS ‘A GOOD SIGN’.

     2. ‘FORUM FOR BETTER RELATIONS’- From His Excellency, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China

     3. ‘BRI WIND MAY JUST BE WHAT MALAYSIA NEEDS’ – From His Excellency, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China.

     4. ‘ORANG ASLI ISSUES GOVT’S PRIORITY’

     5. ‘TOURISM CAN UPLIFT ORANG ASLI’

     6..’WIDE ACCEPTANCE OF NATIONAL SCHOOLS’

     7. ‘INTERNET LINK AS VITAL AS WATER, POWER’

     1, 2 & 3. It is a well-known fact that China can help with her strong financial clout achieved through blood, sweat and toil arising from the effects of the expansionistic colonialists in the 19th Century and 20th Century.

     But Malaysia is quite different from many countries as we are a Nation of diverse peoples mainly from 3 ancient civilization and all, not at all homogenous. Our history is also quite unique.

     But the most important feature of all is Malaysia’s unique GEO-POLITICAL STRATEGIC LOCATION WHICH STANDS ASTRIDE AN IMPORTANT CHOKE POINT WHICH STRETCHES 1,200 KM FROM THE ANDAMAN SEA TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. A Nation full of good peoples with a stable Government and bountiful of natural resources.- RIGHT IN THE NEXUS OF ASEAN OR SOUTH EAST ASIA OR ASIA!

     What our beloved Malaysia wants is a GUARANTEE OF NEUTRALITY FROM ALL NATIONS INCLUDING THE SUPER-POWERS LIKE CHINA, THE US, INDIA, RUSSIA, JAPAN AND THE EU.

     Similarly, NEUTRALITY SHOULD BE APPLICABLE ALSO TO ASEAN – a peace-loving Group full of dynamic and hard-working peoples, 400 Million strong. Switzerland achieved NEUTRALITY AT THE TURN OF THE 20TH CENTURY because she did not want to be involved in the wars of others.

     With a NEURTALITY LABEL MALAYSIA IS UNDERSTOOD TO TREAT ALL NATIONS EQUALLY AND FAIRLY, BIG OR SMALL.

     4 & 5. Finally, the Orang Asli are given the right sort of assistance where they best perform.

     The Tourism Industry is where the Orang Asli like all other Malaysians will find a good place under the Sun.eg. in places with tourist activities like airports, hotels, sightseeing spots etc.

     Kudos to our YB Minister of Tourism for recognising this fact and moved in fast to support the Orang Asli through the Tourism Board.

     IT MUST BE REMEMBERED THAT THE ORANG ASLI, TRAVEL AGENTS AND ALL EXCEPT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS MUST MAKE PROFITS OR MONEY.

     There is no free lunch in the Tourism Industry for anyone.

     THE BN MINISTERS HAD THE FREE LUNCH WHILST THEY WERE IN OFFICE TRAVELLING TO HIGH CLASS LONDON, SYDNEY, AUCKLAND ETC LUXURIATING IN ^ STARS HOTELS LIKE TYCOONS..

     Please do not be like them YB Ministers of the New and Incorruptible Government.

     Our tourists come from India, China, ASEAN and the Middle East.

     All the Caucasians know where Malaysia is and they know what they want. So please do not waste time with them.

     IN EVERY COUNTRY THE MINISTER OF TOURISM WORKS AT HOME TO MAKE SURE THE TRAVEL AGENTS MAKE MONEY AND THE TOURISTS GET THE CHEAPEST DEAL, unlike the GOVERNMENT CIVIL SERVANTS OF THE BN GOVERNMENT INCLUDING MAS.

     With the right notions, the Ministry of Tourism ranks with the top tier of the Ministries like Defence, Internal Security, Finance etc.

     6. I have no problems with National Schools. My children and my grand-children found no problems as well.

     It is only as we grow older either parental or peer pressure made us realise communal differences.

     Whatever it takes to unify a Nation must be good.

     BUT THE BEGINNING MUST REST WITH THE TOP LEVEL OF OUR SOCIETY WHICH IS THE PRIME MINISTER AND HIS GOVERNMENT. THIS IS WHERE BRILLIANT AND COURAGEIOUS LEADERSHIP WILL HOLD SWAY AND NOT SOME THIEVING LEADERSHIPS. THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF GOOD WORKS LIKE HONESTY, UNITY, LOYALTY AND CARE FOR HUMANITY MUST COME FROM THE VERY TOP.

     For 14 years, the Rakyat heard a lot of BS or clichés of promises but NOTHING HAPPENED even a place with 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50, Singapore WITH NOTHING was cited as better than our beloved Malaysia !

     I have never seen such INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND IGNORANCE OF ONE’S SELF, of all peoples, from A MALAYSIAN.

     And at the stroke of midnight 9 May 2018 OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAME ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. Believe it or not, Tun !

     7. KUDOS TO THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION FOR THE TIMELY INSTALLATION OF THE INTERNET IN ALL HOMES AND OFFICES.

     With this announcement I realise we the Rakyat were given BS by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs because I always thought that was the BN Government Policy all these years.

     Finally, we all wish the Malaysian Delegation as led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad every success and a BON VOYAGE to BEIJING !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Good things for good people come in spades. Bad things for crooks also come in spades. Acheh !

115. Tun

     Monday is the beginning of another week which will be pregnant with exciting activities and showers of paper arrows shot by the Opposition.

     Even my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree shirked getting up early. They began their natural task only at 7.03 a.m..

     And so it is with the World we live in, the World of our beloved Malaysia. Those who are forever disgruntled do not know what they miss living in a dynamic and living World which is our beloved Malaysia. And as for the headlines of the Opposition media, these appear again in all earnestness thus

     1. ” HARAPAN WILL NOT BE A ONE-TERM GOVT. VOWS MINISTER ”

     2. ” GOMBAK QUARTZ RIDGE TO BECOME NATIONAL HERITAGE SITE ”

     3. ” KEEP CLOSE WATCH ON HOUSEHOLD DEBT ”

     4. ” RATE CUT MAY NOT SAVE RINGGIT BOND RALLY AS INDEX OUTFLOW LOOMS ”

     5. ” PM WORKING THREE TIMES HARDER NOW ”

     1. The Harapan Government of the New and Incorruptible will soon be a one term Government if its Ministers forget the bread and butter issues of the Rakyat as so correctly pointed out by DSAI recently.

     The Rakyat is not concern with amendments to the Constitution for cosmetic sake to favour a few, or nursery in the Dewan Rakyat or wasting money on toy planes which are not original or spiritual masseurs for the aged or LGBT or changing education curriculum for changing sake or sea reclamation which lasts 30 years or new bill to stop bottom pinching etc.

     The Rakyat is concerned with the bread and butter issues on the table as highlighted by DSAI.

     In other words, each and every Ministry must go back to its Original and Normal stance of Governance, Delivery and Service which have been neglected for 14 years by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs.

     Political hot air of any kind is to be eschewed and put on the back-burner.

     TO BE A YB MINISTER OF THE FEDERATION IS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME ALTOGETHER ie. you have to look after those who voted against or dislike you as well. This is the only function of the Malaysian Federal Government. May be this is not so easy for those who were in Opposition for decades. Still, you have no choice after being elected.

     I do hope you all YB Ministers appreciate that you will learn much from our beloved Tun Mahathir Mohamad to be in POWER for the next 60 years.

     2. Kudos to the Minister of Tourism who has finally moved to designate a Natural Treasure of our beloved Malaysia. There will be many more to come like how to preserve the fire-fly domain of Kuala Selangor or has it been destroyed already. The tourists would love to have the latest photo of the YB Minister in colour which will do him justice in the Opposition media.

     3. Household debt must be linked to the huge number of bankrupts especially amongst the young Malays (200,000+). This totalled over 500,000 bankrupts with urban votes which will be instigated against the incumbent Government at the next 15th GE.

     In Malaysia, the household debt as percentage of the GDP is 80% as reported – the biggest in ASEAN. The incumbent Minister of Law is the FOURTH LAW MINISTER WHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO REVISE AND UP-DATE THE BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967. He just read out the fake BN revised Bankrupt Act in the Dewan Rakyat and said all is OK with the bankrupts WHO ARE THE ONLY BANKRUPTS IN THE WORLD NOT GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE UNLIKE SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA. Vide. The Star – Letter to Editor 25 June 2018.

     If nothing is done to really revise and up-date the Bankruptcy Act 1967, the incumbent Government will face an urban vote against it by over 500,000 bankrupts and 80% of the GDP households in debt by the next 15th GE. THEN, THE BN WILL RETURN TO POWER NO MATTER WHAT THE YB MINISTER OF COMMODITIES SAYS !

     I say this because I hope the New and Incorruptible Government will be in POWER for the next 60 years. It is as simple as this to stay in POWER – BE CARING TO THE DISADVANTAGED !

     4 & 5. Strange to say these 2 headlines should be as one.

     THE PROBLEMS OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TODAY CONCERNING OUR ECONOMY AND ITS FINANCIAL WHEREWITHAL REST SQUARELY ON THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCs.

     THE BN GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP 2004-2018 THOUGHT A PRIME MINISER COULD ALSO BE THE MINISTER OF FINANCE SINCE THEY BELIEVED THAT CASH IS KING. If the World treats CASH IS KING, the round wheel would never have been invented thousands of years ago.

     These attitudes in administering a small country were based on our beloved Malaysia was like an ATM – just press a button and money will appear. THIS FALSE BELIEF BROUGHT OUR MALAYSIA DOWN TO HER KNEES AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE INDEX OUTFLOWS HEADLINE.

     Little do these neophytes were aware that the financial well-being of our beloved Malaysia took 47 years to build up, from the Tunku to our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The Malaysian economy and its reputation were so well maintained that those who came after them 2004-2018 thought it was a cinch THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER 31 MILLION CITIZENS COULD BE RUN ON AN AUTO-PILOT WHILST THEY SQUANDERED THE RAKYAT’S TIME AND MONEY AWAY TO SATISFY THEIR DESIRES WHATEVER THESE MEANT.

     As it is now shown now in no uncertain terms that the SAVINGS OR RESERVES OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WERE SIPHONED OUT OF THE COUNTRY BETWEEN 2002-2018 TO THE EXTENT OF RM ONE AND A HALF TRILLION. This meant the Government and the economy had RM ONE AND A HALF TRILLION LESS TO SPEND ON DEVELOPMENT AND RAISE THE LIFE SYLE OR STANDARDS OF THE RAKYAT.

     Worst of all, Trustees of Malays Trusts Sime Darby (twice bankrupted in 1996 and 2010) LTAT, FELDA, TH etc cleaned out the Trusts of money by buying very expensive or selling very cheap to some crooked Chinese or foreigners. Now, all and sundry ask how could this be ?

     HENCE OUR PM TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD HEADLINE, ” PM WORKING THREE TIMES HARDER NOW “. Let us all hope that future PMs will be aware that their jobs are 24 hours day and night, 7 days a week. No 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. for them and no 6 months holiday like a pregnant school teacher. And golf and overseas holidays are only for the PRIVATE SECTOR.

     Yes, Tun ! Not only the PM, but also a YB Minister in any Federal Government has a serious responsibility to discharge in working hard and delivering to the Rakyat. There should be no difficulty at all in DISCHARGING ONE’S RESPONSIBLITIES AND DUTIES HONESTLY GIVEN THE RIGHT TYPE OF LEADER AS THE PM.

     Again I hope the New and Incorruptible Government will be in POWER for the next 60 years.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Our beloved Malaysia should always be bland and boring without any excitement like Japan and Switzerland !.

116. Tun

     With the rising heat of debate on the pros and cons of the existing Penang Master Plan as presented by the Penang State Government which to this day has not been able to raise funds or total support for it, I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THE NEW PROPOSALS TO RAISE REVENUE AND DEVELOP PENANG IS FAR MORE PRACTICAL AND COSTS FAR LESS MONEY.- A WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR ALL !

     Besides, the NEW PROPOSALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PENANG TO RAISE REVENUE WILL BE SUPPORTED BY ALL CONCERNED AND NOT BY AN ESOTERIC FEW.

     With your kind permission, I present my NEW PROPOSALS AGAIN.

     We must presume that the Penang Government Master Plan intends to develop and raise revenue. THEREFORE OUR OBJECTIVES FOR THE RAKYAT ARE THE SAME.

     But the New Proposals are by far cheaper, faster, more practical, environmental friendly, with more revenue raised, and do not destroy the environment and the Rakyat’s habitation. The Rakyat should be able to see the sensibilities of the New Proposals transparently, thus

     1. Scrap the 3 islands reclamation.

     2. Scrap the Outer George Town Highway

     3. Scrap the undersea Tunnel.

     3. Close the Bayan Lepas Airport. And turn the area together with the FTZs inclusive of the land up to Sungei Keluang in the North, the foothills in the West, Pulau Jerejak and the whole of the Southern Beach front AS THE NEW GEORGE TOWN WHICH IS TO BE PLANNED BY A WORLD RENOWNED TOWN PLANNER. Like this there is no necessity for the 3 Island Reclamation which brings in the Private Sector and costs billions of ringgits and time.

     THIS 3 ISLANDS RECLAMATION IS A PIE IN THE SKY TYPE OF PROMISE WHICH DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY MONEY TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT FOR 30 YEARS ! My New Proposals ARE IMMEDIATE, SOLID AND TRUE.

     4. THE 3 ISLANDS RECLAMATION BECOME IRRELEVANT AND REDUNDANT VIEWED AGAINST MY NEW PROPOSALS FOE A NEW GEORGE TOWN.

     5. WITH THE CREATION OF THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, TRAFFIC PRESSURE IS TAKEN OFF FROM THE OLD GEORGE TOWN AND ITS ENVIRONS BECAUSE ALL STATE GOVERNMENT OFFICES WILL BE SHIFTED TO THE NEW GEORGE TOWN. THE COMMERCIAL OFFICES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WILL FOLLOW.

     6. TRAM LINES WILL BE CREATED IN THE OLD GEORG TOWN WITH CERTAIN STREETS DESIGNATED ONLY FOR THE PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS.

     7. KOMTAR is to be turned into 2 hotels, one Budget and the other 4 Star.

     8. THE PRESSURE COOKER WAY OF LIFE NOW EXISTS IN OLD GEORGE TOWN IS DEFUSED TO CREAT THE WORLD’S FINEST HERITAGE SITE BEING THE OLD GEORGE TOWN
     9. WITH THE CREATION OF THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, THERE IS NO NECESSITT TO BUILD THE OUTER GEORGE TOWN HIGHWAY AS THE MOMENTUM OF DEVELOPMENT SHIFTS TO THE NEW GEORGE TOWN.

     10. ALSO THERE IS NO NECESSITY TO BUILD THE TUNNEL FOR THE SAME REASONS.

     11. FREE AND LOW COST HOUSING SHOULD BE LOCATED IN THE FOOTHILLS IN THE WEST FOR THOSE INHABITANTS AFFECTED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW GEORGE TOWN.

     12. IT IS BETTER TO BUILD A JAPANESE TYPE OF COUNTRY RAILWAY CONNECTING KULIM, THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, THE FOOT HILLS, ALONG THE SITE OF THE OUTER GEORGE TOWN HIGHWAY, THIS IS ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY, IT TRANSPORTS MORE PEOPLE AND COSTS MUCH LESS – just a tiny track will do.

     13. PULAU JEREJAK TO BE FLATTENED TO BUILD A DOMESTIC REGIONAL AIRPORT FOR PRIVATE JETS, HELICOPTERS AND SMALL PASSENGER PLANES etc.

     14. ALSO PULAU JEREJAK WILL HAVE 4 LUXURY CRUISE LINER TERMINALS WITH SHOPPING MALL FACITLITES.

     15. WITH THE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS SO SAVED BY THE PENANG STATE GOVERNMENT, THE STATE CAN NOW MODERNISE LIKE HONOLULU, HAWAII, THE 19TH CENTURY SEWAGE SYSTEM WHICH RAW SEWAGE FLOWS NON-STOP TO THE NORTH AND BATU FERRINGHI.

     16. FLOOD MITIGATION SCHEMES TO BE INSTALLED BY THE BEST AND CHEAPEST ENGINEERS IN THE WORLD. No more half-past six engineers. I SUGGEST THIS SHOULD BE UNDERGROUND WHERE POSSIBLE.

     17. ALL DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES ON PENANG ISLAND ARE GEARED TO TURN PENANG INTO THE WORLD’S FINEST HERITAGE SITE WITH THE WORLD’S FINEST HOLIDAY AND LEISURE RESORT IN PLACE. No more half way house between holiday and industry which made Penang neither here or there.

     18. WITH THE INCREASE IN LAND PRICES IN THE NEW GEORGE TOWN AREA, THE FTZS AND FACTORIES WILL FLOW TO KULIM WHICH IS CONNECTED BY A FAST RAIL AND ALSO A JAPANESE TYPE COUNTRY TRAIN VIA THE FOOTHILLS AND BEYOND.

     19. A NEW BRIDGE FOR ROAD AND RAIL WILL CONNECT THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, KULIM, BUTTERWORTH, TANJONG BUNGAH ETC MAKING A CIRCUITOUS LOOP FOR COMMUTERS.

     20. THE PICTURESQUE FERRY WILL BE MODERNISED FOR COMMUTERS AND CARS.WITH CONNECTIONS TO KEDAH, LANGKAWI AND NORTH PERAK.

     21. QUIT RENTS AND ASSESSMENTS SCRAPPED FOR THE OLD GEORGE TOWN BECAUSE THE NEW GEORGE TOWN IS A WORLD CLASS CITY WITH 100 STOREY SKYSCRAPERS CONTRIBUTING HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF RINGGITS TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

     22. WITH THE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS SAVED, THE STATE GOVERNMENT CAN IMMEDIATELY IMPROVE AND MODERNISE THE OLD HERITAGE GEORGE TOWN TO THE DELIGHT OF ALL AND SUNDRY.

     23. A JOINT SOCIO-DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL ESTABLISHED BETWEEN KEDAH AND PENANG TO IMPROVE WATER SUPPLY, COMMUNICATIONS, CROSS-BORDER TOURISM, EMPLOYMENT.

     24. WITH THE NAMY NEW HOTELS AND FACILITIES CONCOMITANT WITH A HEAVY TOURIST LOAD, MORE JOBS ARE CREATED FOR THE RAKYAT WHICH NO LONGER DEPENDS ON FLY BY NIGHT FACTORIES.

     25. THE WHOLE OF PENANG AND KULIM/KEDAH ECONOMY STABLISED, ENHANCDE AND FULL OF OPPORTUNITIES AS PENANG BECOMES MORE FAMOUS.

     26. THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD LIKE TO VISIT PENANG BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE A 21ST CENTURY WORLD CITY SIDE BY SIDE WITH A 19TH CENTURY HERITAGE OLD TOWN LIKE THE TWIN PETROANAS TOWERS AND KLIA ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     The New Proposals are good for the Rakyat and the State Government which may stay in POWER for at least 60 years.

     THE NEW PENANG MODEL FITS IN WITH OUR SOVERIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST. It becomes our Malaysia’s very own Master Plan for Penang. No foreign plan for us. WE ARE MALAYSIANS.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

117. Tun,

     In recent days your announcements of the revival of the ECRL and the Bandar Malaysia Projects with the exclusion of the HSR will rocket our beloved Malaysia’s economy back to where it rightfully belongs.

     First, the economy could only be better with the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs on 9 May 2018.

     The Administrative System by and large remains. With the sacking of the corrupt digits manning it, our beloved Malaysia’s vital Administrative System immediately reverted back to NORMAL. All Corruptions and Nepotisms should cease at this point. The assessment of the horrible damage caused by the BN followed.

     Through your valuable experience and the assistance of one good Adviser, the platform to zoom upwards from the basement of the BN Government is in place.

     The icing on the cake will be retrieving ALL THE STOLEN MONEY BILIONS OF RINGGITS HIDDEN IN BANK DEPOSITS OVERSEAS BY THE TRUSTEES OR OFFICIALS OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AND GLCs.

     AND THE JAILING OF THESE RECALCITRANTS AND THEIR CHINESE OR FOREIGN BUYERS OR SELLERS. BOTH ARE CULPABLE IN NEARLY KILLING OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO SATISFY THEIR CROOKED DESIRES.

     The population of 31 Million could only stare and watch GIGANTIC SUMS OF MONEY HANDLED BY THOSE IN POWER as their living standards and life-styles were devalued day by day.

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

     You have rightly placed the CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY RIGHT BACK TO WHERE IT RIGHTLY BELONGS IN MALAYSIA being the catalyst and unfailing mover of the economy since the beginning of Merdeka in 1957.

     With the fall-out from the Construction Industry, many small businesses will benefit as you and Tun Daim have rightly pointed out.

     The banks will regain confidence with the support of Bank Negara Malaysia and your Government. There will be MORE LIQUIDITY TO DRIVE CONSUMERISM. With the enhanced profits in hand, for the first time for 14 years since 2003, the employers will be happy to RAISE WAGES.

     AND CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN THAT THE 500,000 BANKURPTS OF WHICH 250,000 ARE YOUNG MALAY AND NON-MALAYS ARE NOT INCREASED BY DOING A PROPER UP-DATING AND REVISION OF THE BANRUPTCY ACT 1967 WITHOUT THE INFLUENCE OF SELFISH FINANCIAL INTERESTS LIKE SHARE-BROKERS ETC. Vide. The Star. Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018.

     THE CLASSICAL MALAYSIAN FREE CAPITALISM OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND RETURNS.

     Our biggest naysayer, SINGAPORE, will also support our IMPROVED AND STABILIZED ECONOMY THROUGH THE BURSA AND PROPERTY INVESTMENTS. With Singapore, China and other foreign investors will NOT BE FAR BEHIND.

     WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA, TUN ?

     I hope the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great will last at least 60 years.

     This is achievable as long as the neophyte Ministers talk less and focus on bread and butter issues of the Rakyat and not their own emotional Agendas, of (i) Constitution amendments and not the essential Laws of Companies, Bankruptcy and Trust,(ii) nurseries, (iii) anti-bottom pinching bills, (iv) toy planes, (v) not aware of enrichment of certain individuals by the BN, (vi) supply masseurs to the sick, (vii) changing the education curriculum for changing sake, (viii) ignore the English language, (ix) no LGBT in Malaysia and many more..

     Our DSAI had the best comment,’ Focus on the food on the table issues at hand.’

     As I said before our beloved Malaysia under your brilliant and courageous Leadership, Tun, the whole country is getting stronger and stronger as we all march forward together united, proud and strong to the sound of OUR OWN DRUMS. No more Singapore Poppet label for us within the context of our SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST.

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

118. Tun

     Further to my Proposals for a cheap and profitable development of Penang as against the State Government’s Singapore Model which does not suit the State and besides the money for Singapore came from the Lee Kuan Yew’s Black Under Counter Trades in Arms, etc arising from the Cold War 1948-1989.

     Penang has no money to undertake the 2 mega Projects being the Outer George Town Highway, the Tunnel and the 3 reclaimed islands. Also, these Projects damage the environment and existing human habitation.

     Is the Penang State Government aware that between 1948 – 1989, Singapore was a colonial port until the 1980s which could generate a fizzy 7% GDP annually ?

     Now, with all the trappings and the glittering buildings, Singapore could not breach 3% from 2002-2018.

     Common sense dictates that Singapore’s push from the 3rd World to the 1st did not come from the mind of Lee Kuan Yew but something which was much more than that.

     It was the huge Black Under Counter Trades in Arms, Smuggling, Money Laundering, toadying up to dictators, collecting free Vietnam War debris, sanctions breaking China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East, Africa etc. US R & R, bunkering, air base and aid.

     Singapore’s economy collapsed after the BRICS grabbed her lush Black Under Counter Trades 1948-1989 of the Cold War, 1948-1989.

     Penang is a State in the Federation and is not independent.

     For the State Government to follow the SINGAPORE MODEL IT IS FLAWED AND A NON-STARTER and also to borrow huge funds for Projects which are public utilities known for not giving good returns.

     As for the reclamation of the islands, this is fraught with risks of the Private Sector over 30 years.

     Not only that, with the closure of the Bayan Lepas Airport to turn into the NEW GEORGE TOWN, THIS RECLAMATION NOW LOOKS REDUNDANT AND VERY EXPENSIVE LOADED WITH NEGATIVES.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. As you said correctly, ‘ IT IS THE MINDSET.’.

     My Proposals deliver cheaper, faster and a win-win for all to turn Pulau Pinang into the World’s Numero Uno for Holiday Resorts and Leisure but have absolutely no intention to turn Pulau Pinang into a concrete jungle like Singapore. .

119. Tun

     The important headlines today are thus :-

     1. ‘DR M ANNOUNCES REVIVAL OF BANDAR MALAYSIA PROJECT.’

     2. ‘NO GREENLIGHT ON PENANG RECLAMATION PROJECT YET.’

     3. ‘MALAYSIA CURRENT ACCOUNT IN SURPLUS FOR 2019.’

     1 & 2 underlines the revival of confidence which was in place before the advent of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.eg. pre-2004.

     2. ‘NO GREENLIGHT ON PENANG RECLAMATION PROJECT YET.’

     The Master Plan which the Penang State Government presented is out of date as it was prepared before the fall of the BN Government during which the State Government was in the Opposition.

     This Master Plan was a gimmick to tease the BN Government politically at great cost being based on a FLAWED MODEL- the SINGAPORE MODEL. But Penang is not Singapore. Singapore is not Penang. Think !

     The mega 3 projects being the Outer Georgetown Highway, the Tunnel and the 3 reclamation islands drew much flak from vested interests. These 3 mega Projects ARE MORE SUITABLE TO SINGAPORE THAN TO PENANG.

     Historically, Penang and Kedah were one before the arrival of the British in 1779. Thereafter Kedah was suppressed giving to the rise of Penang.

     Common sense dictates that Penang and Kedah should now have a Joint Socio-economic Development Council to overseer infra-developments on both sides of the Straits and tailor fit requirements accordingly since they are the same controlling Governments.

     To save TIME, MONEY AND DELIVER THE GOODIES FAST TO THE SUPPORTERS AND CONSTITUENTS OF THE STATE GIVERBNEBT, MY PROPOSALS ARE AS FOLLOWS :-

     1. Scrap the undersea Tunnel.

     2. Build a new Bridge connecting Bayan Lepas to Kulim

     3. Scrap the Outer George Town Highway.

     3. Scrap the Bayan Lepas Airport.

     4. Turn the Bayan Lepas Airport, the surrounding FTZ and the areas up to the hills on the West, north to Sungei Keluang and south to the sea AS THE NEW GEORGETOWN.

     5. THE NEW GEORGE TOWN SHOULD BE DESIGNED BY A WORLD RENOWN TOWN PLANNER – A NEW CITY OF BUILDINGS OF UP TO 100 STOREYS, BOULEVARDS ETC. The sea beach along the southern border is to be established for TOURISM like Honollulu, Hawaii. New State Government offices to be sited here.

     6. THE RECLAMATION OF THE SEA FOR THE 3 ISLANDS TO BE SCRAPPED. SUPPORTERS AND FINANCIERS INVOLVED HERE ARE GIVEN IMMEDIATE.
     OPPORTUNITIES IN THE NEW GEORGE TOWN.

     7. ONLY LOW RISE HOTEL BUILDINGS PERMITTED ALONG THE SOUTHERN BEACH FRONT..

     8. GOOD AND FREE HOUSING PROVIDED FOR ALL PRESENT DAY RESIDENTS WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, ALONG THE FOOTHILLS IN THE WEST OF BAYAN LEPAS.

     9. WITH THE JUMP IN LAND PRICES, THE FTZ FACTORIES WILL FLOW TO THE KULIM AREA. But workers could still commute to Kulim by the fast rail at 10 minute intervals.

     10.. THE KULIM AND THE NEW GEORGE TOWN ARE CONNECTED BY FAST MRT WHICH RUNS AT 10 MINUTE INTERVALS DURING PEAK HOURS.WESPECIALLY WITH THE LOW COST HOUSES ALONG THE WESTERN FOOTHILLS.

     11. WITH THE NEW GEORGE TOWN, NO QUIT RENT OR ASSESSMENT BE COLLECTED IN THE OLD GEORGE TOWN.

     12. THE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS AND THE TIME SO SAVED ARE TO BE SPENT UPGRADING THE OLD CEORGE TOWN SEWANGE SYSTEM UNTOUCHED SINCE THE 19TH CENTURY ACCODRING TO HONOLULU STANDARDS. The sewage now flows North to Batu Ferringhi.And Flood Mitigation Schemes put in place below the Town.

     13. KOMTAR TO BE TURNED INTO 2 HOTELS, BUDGET AND 4 STAR. THE STATE OFFICES MOVE TO THE NEW GEORGE TOWN.

     The present Master Plan is flawed because the State Government copies the Singapore Model of pouring concrete to create revenue.

     My Proposal PRESERVES THE BRAND NAME OF THE PEARL OF THE ORIENT WHICH IS PENANG AND TURN IT INTO THE NUMERO UNO OF HOLIDAY LEISURE RESORTS OF THE WORLD TO BRING IN THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE WITH QUICK AND SHEAP DELIVERY OF GOODIES FOR ALL. You strengthen a brand name not destroy it.!

     14. KEDAH SHOULD FOCUS ALSO ON ECO-TOURISM IN WHICH IT IS A LEADER IN CONJUNCTION WITH PENANG BEING THE TOP RESORT HOLIDAY DESTINATION OF THE WORLD.WITH A SPLENDID NEW GEORGE TOWN OF MANY 100 STOREY SKYSCRAPERS.

     15. THE WHOLE OF OLD GEORGE TOWN WILL BE REVIVED IN ALL ITS HERITAGE GLORY.

     16. PULAU JEREJAK MAY BE FLATTEN TO TURN IT INTO AN AIRPORT FOR DOMESTIC AND REGIONAL FLIGHTS PLUS A PIER FOR AT LEAST 4 CRUISE SHIPS WITH SHOPPING FACILITIES.

     17. MALAYSIA HAS THE MOST MODERN NEW GEORGE TOWN SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE BEST PRESERVED OLD GEORGE TOWN IN THE WORLD. Where else but Malaysia ?

     A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR ALL.

     NO NEED TO BORROW BIG BUCKS TO DO MEGA PROJECTS OF 30 YEARS GESTATION. MY PROPOSALS ARE IMMEDIATE, PRACTICAL, FAST CHEAP AND FOR SUPPORTERS AND FINANCIERS OF THE PENANG STATE.
     GOVERNMENT.

     PENANG’S MODEL BASED ON THE SINGAPORE MODEL IS FLAWED BECAUSE THE PROJECTS DO NOT JIVE WITH THE REAL PULAU PINANG AND OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ! It also sounds FOREIGN !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. The Penang Cake is easy to bake for all at low cost, fast, practical and benefits all.

120. Tun

     These are exciting times for all and sundry in our beloved Malaysia.

     There should be a feeling amongst the Rakyat by now after the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, that our beloved Malaysia as led by your Leadership is on the road to do greater things.

     Not so much as building infrastructures as in the past under your 22 year Administration but something which will not only unite the peoples but more enduring, by giving them the tools and planning to move to a higher plane of achievements. Like a good command of English, the skills of hi-tech, the new National Car and an understanding of Malaysia in relation to the World.

     These goodies can only come from an urbanised middle-income group or groups which you have already created in your 22 year Administration but nearly completely destroyed by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs.

     Now, without a murmur or regret, we will have to begin all over again. Just look at the headlines this morning thus :-

     1.” MANY OFFICIALS UNHAPPY WITH CPTPP ”

     The Sovereignty and National Interest of our beloved Malaysia were betrayed by some treacherous Official whose loyalty was in doubt and in conflict.

     I have been saying for years that the TPPA/CPTPP is a Malaysia/Malays Killer.

     How could this be any good for Malaysia when the TPPA/CPTPP is a creature of Lee Kuan Yew – its original creator to save his legacy for Singapore and his inheritors.

     His 1962 sparsely worded Water Agreement tied Malaysia into knots.

     Apparently, the TPPA/CPTPP has 50 volumes of Agreements crafted by Lee Kuan Yew and condoned by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership and personally supported by the Senior Civil Servant negotiator who had a Singaporean spouse whose profession is one which Russia, Egypt, Iran, Myanmar, China and North Korea would love to put in jail for life !

     She came out in BOLD PRINT in January 2018 that Malaysia MUST RATIFY THE TPPA/CPTPP ! Who is this person who is so brazen as to tell the BN Government to do at her biding ? After all, she is just a minor paid Government official of indeterminate loyalty and was ennobled accordingly.

     Just look at BREXIT today. Britain with all her intellectual human property, joined EU in 1976 EASILY. Now, Britain finds out to her cost THAT SHE FINDS IT SO VERY DIFFICULT TO EXIT. All the Britons look stupid to the World now.

     IN THE CASE OF THE TPPA/CPTPP, A CUNNING DEVICE TO BREAKDOWN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S TARIFF WALL WHICH IS THERE TO PROTECT OUR NASCENT MANUFACTURING AND OTHER BUSINESSES owned by different communities with different financial clout, FOR LABELLED OR RE-LABELLED SINGAPOREAN GOODS WITHOUT TAX TO FLOOD INTO MALAYSIA OVERNIGHT AS SOON AS MALAYSIA RATIFIES THE TPPA/CPTPP THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER.

     In 2017, the Singapore Business Times boasted that if Malaysia ratifies the TPPA/CPTPP Malaysia/Malays Killer, Singapore saves a MINIMUM of S$ 1 BILLION a year. Conversely, our beloved Malaysia LOSES A MINIMUM OF RM 3 BILLION A YEAR ! Stupid Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs.

     NOT ONLY THAT THE BN GOVERNMENT SIGNED THE TPPA/CPTPP MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER AGAINST A BACKGROUND WHICH HAS ALREADY MADE THE MALAYS 50% POORER AFTER OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND HIS PREDECESSORS PULLED UP THE WHOLE MALAY COMMUNITY FROM OWNING ONLY 2% OF THE ECONOMY IN 1969 TO ABOUT 30% BY 2003 ! Here is a list of what happened !

     1. 2002-2018. ONE AND A HALF TRILLION RINGGITS WERE SIPHONED OUT OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER ECONOMIC SYSTEM. This was mainly stolen Government money through stealing by padding all expenditures from negotiated contracts. Being Government and Malay Trust money, THIS HAS AFFECTED THE WEALTH OF THE MALAYS BY AT LEAST 50 % if not more ! Shocking acts of the 1st Order by those we trusted !

     2. 2004-2018. The rape of Government owned assets by the PAP cadres. The theft of 1,000,000 barrels of Saddam Hussein oil which rightfully belong to the Malay Rakyat. The theft of billions of ringgits from 1MDB, FELDA, TH, LTAT, KWAP, etc – all Malay Trusts which hold the WEALTH OF THE MALAYS WERE CLEANED OUT OF MONEY AND REPLACED WITH BANK LOANS AS LIABILITIES. Now, the stolen Malay Trust money is in the personal accounts of the crooks deposited overseas to benefit the host countries. Where else but Malaysia ?

     3. 1991. The ennobled Sime Darby Management executives sold WITHOUT THE BOARD’S CONSENT the Nova Scotia estate near Rawang for RM 4 Million to a MCA Leader which re-sold it for RM 88 Million to Selangor Perangsang and a Chinese Tan Sri Talam which turned a beautiful piece of land into a tropical slum.

     The real worth of these 2,000 acres was RM 200 Million ! How much did the Malays lose ? RM 196 Million ! Or by discounted cash flow as of today 2019 – RM 1 Billion !

     Yet, these Sime Darby Malay Executives sold RM 1 Billion worth of Malay assets for only RM 4 Million in 1991 ! Hence both Buyer and Seller should be prosecuted for CBT and Conspiracy to defraud the Sime Darby shareholders of which PNB is a major one !

     THIS WAS THE GENESIS OF THE HIDEOUS CORRUPTIONS WHICH ERUPTED BETWEEN 2004-2018 during which the Malays lost 50% of their WEALTH Through conspiracy between the Malay Trustees and non-Malay Buyers or Sellers !

     Who can now dispute that the Malays Wealth has not been stolen by the very few and reduced by more than 50 % ?

     And on top of this, the Government is forced to borrow to bail-out by the billions of ringgits ALL THESE MALAY TRUSTS MONEY STOLEN BY THEIR OWN TRUSTEES ! The whole of our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat are not only involved BUT MADE THAT MUCH POORER.

     WITH THE SOLID EVIDENCE OF EMPTY ICONIC MALAY TRUSTS WHEREBY THE TRUSTEES BOUGHT WORTHLESS ASSETS WITH BILLIONS OF MALAY TRUST MONEY, IT IS PROPER JUSTICE TO PROSECUTE THE BUYER AND SELLER IN SUCH A CONSPIRACY LIKE THE LTAT PURCHASE OF A USELESS PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE FOR RM 740 MILLIONS !

     All such money stolen by criminal conspiracy should be RETURNED TO THE MALAY TRUSTS. Billions of ringgits are involved by just 2 persons in the case of LTAT. The solid evidence is there and available for the prosecutors.

     Malaysia must improve her international ratings by RETRIEVING ALL THE STOLEN MONEY FROM THE OVERSEAS BANK ACCOUNTS OF THESE CROOKS NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. This must be done in the name of SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST. No more. No less.

     And the total results of all those thieving Trustees of the Malay Trusts ? The answer is in the headline this morning which confirms, thus :-

     ” MOODY’S VIEWS AID TO FELDA AS CREDIT NEGATIVE. ”

     Any down-grading WILL REDUCE THE WEALTH OF THE MALAYS AND THE NON-MALAYS AGAIN AND AGAIN. Stupid Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     Again this is the result of the following (-

     1. Between 2002-2018, one and a half Trillion Ringgits were siphoned out of the Malaysian economic system overseas. This huge sum can only come from THE GOVERNMENT COFFERS FROM STEALING BY MANY MEANS.

     2. ALL THE MALAY TRUST AND THE GLCs WERE EXIT POINTS FOR STOLEN CASH TO BE SIPHONED OUT OF THE COUNTRY 2002-2018.

     Catch the crooks. Charge the buyer and the seller in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     It was easy to say “CASH IS KING” and throw away the whole lot of the Nation’s Wealth of the Malays and Non-Malays built over decades of blood, sweat, toil and hard-work away just like that. But to re-build such WEALTH WILL NOT BE EASY.

     THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND NON-CARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DASTARDLY CRIME TO HUMANITY !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

121. Tun

     Sorry. A small typo error in my previous comment. It should be – ” Not from being a BLUFFOLOGIST “

122. Tun,

     When good tidings come, they come in spades. And when bad tidings come, so too they come in spades. These are humbling experiences for us who are trained to serve the ailing Rakyat a whole life long.

     And in a week’s time, you will be reviewing the Presidential Guards of the People’s Republic of China with President Xi Jin-ping. Both of you strolling along that red carpet laid down for very important dignitaries of the People’s Republic of China.

     And you will be there on your own MERITS.

     Not from being a BLUFFOGIST,

     Not from being there with blood on your hands,

     Not from being there having taking advantage through the machinations of your clever and educated brain, of the poor and innocent men, women and children who had no POWER to retaliate.

     BUT ENTIRELY ON YOUR OWN MERITS WITHOUT BLOODSHED OR CROOKED MEANS TO FURTHER YOUR SELF-INTERESTS OR OVER-BEARING ARROGANCE, thus

     1. THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO BUILT UP A COMMUNITY FROM ZERO BASE OWNING ONLY 2% OF THE ECONOMY WITHIN 22 YEARS INTO A 6 MILLION FAMILLIES MIDDLE INCOME MALAY GROUP TO INTERACT WITH THE 6 MILLION FAMILLIES MIDDLE INCOME GROUP OF NON-MALAYS SINGLE-HANDEDLY DESPITE ALL THE SCANDALS CAUSED BY THE THIEVING CLOSEST AIDES. Where else in the World but Malaysia and Tun M ?

     2. THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD FOR COULD GALVANISE THE RAKYAT TO OUST A COMPLETELY SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND NONCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES DEMOCRATICALLY AND WITHOUT BLOODSHED. Where else in the World but Malaysia and Tun M ?

     3. DESPITE THE THIEVING CLOSEST AIDES WHICH SCANDLISED ALL PROJECTS UNDER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROL, THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO PUT IN ALL THE BASIC MODERN INFRA-STRUCTURE REQUIRED FOR NATION BUILDING IN 22 YEARS. Where else in the World but Malaysia and Tun M ?

     4. THE ONLY PERSON RECOGNISED AS THE NUMERO UNO OF THE MUSLIM WORLD, ONE OF ELEVEN INFLUENTIAL STATESMEN OF THE 2019 WORLD AND RECOGNISED BY THE THIRD WORLD LONG BEFORE TODAY. Where else in the World But Malaysia and Tun M ?

     5. THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO TURNED A BELOVED NATION IN REAL TROUBLE DUE TO WANTON CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM OVERNIGHT INTO ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. Where else in the World but Malaysia and Tun M !

     IT PAYS TO BE HUMBLE, NOT SELF-SERVING AND OVER-BEARING TUN !

     A lasting Legacy for us the Rakyat will be a GUARANTEE OF NEUTRALITY FOR MALAYSIA AND ASEAN BY THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA ARISING FROM THIS SIGNIFICANT VISIT TO BEIJING. And to be followed by similar GUARANTEES BY THE UNITED STATES, INDIA, JAPAN, BRITAIN AND THE EU LIKE NEUTRAL SWITZERLAND. This will be the icing on the cake for us all to give us room to expand and develop upwards without strife or external interference.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Bon Voyage to Beijing ! Keep smiling with Tun Dr Siti Hasmah by your side.

123. Tun

     Congratulations and Best Wishes for your inclusion in the Time 100 2019 of the 100 most influential personalities of the World.

     This heartens me that you are ONE OF ONLY ELEVEN POLITICAL LEADERS so recognised which included President Trump and President Xi Jin-ping. The other 89 personalities have nothing to do with Political Statesmanship.

     What is so significant about this recognition of your life-long contribution to our beloved Malaysia and the World is that you DID NOT INDULGE IN BLUFFOLOGY AND HAVE NO BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS. You call a spade a spade which a trained scientist should.

     Not only that, instead of killing thousands of innocent men, women and children to attain self-serving needs which you did not,

     YOU WITH YOUR BARE HANDS SAVED MANY LIVES AND LATER ON THE WIDER STAGE OF POLITICS YOU CREATED THE 6 MILLION MALAY MIDDLE INCOME FAMILLIES WHICH IN TURN HAVE BECOME AN INTERACTIVE FORCE WITH THE 6 MILLION NON-MALAY MIDDLE INCOME FAMILLIES BY WAY OF CONSUMERISM AND SERVICES.

     Which country in the World has such a Leader who has HUMANITY AT HEART ?

     Your Greatest Legacy is to guide and nurture a group of honest, motivated and sustainable young Leaders to LEAD OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO THE LIKES OF VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN.

     No more shallow thinking about CASH IS KING but decades of SERVICE TO KING AND COUNTRY WITH SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST. How many will last the pace is yet to be seen, Tun ?

     With you as our example of fine Leadership without a peer, I am certain our hopes and aspirations for our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat will come to pass. What is MONEY MONEY MONEY ? It is good to have some.

     But at the end of the day, IT IS OUR SUCCESSES AND FAILURES WHICH CANNOT BE ERASED AND RECORDED IN HISTORY – The finest arbiter of the Truth.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling. The World will smile with you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah always.

124. Tun

     Unlike you, DSAI and your aide, how many of your Team and all the Malaysians understand that at this very moment, our beloved Malaysia stands proud, strong and united despite the flurries of paper darts thrown by the subdued Opposition ?

     At this moment, it is like Merdeka of the Tunku in 1957, the NEP of Tun Abdul Razak and the beginning of a New Malaysia under your guidance to reach a New beginning which cannot be reached through politics but SOCIO-ECONOMICS.

     It is the socio-economics which will be the glue that binds the different communities together to form the politics of the future. The Future of the Young and the Old.

     Which country is better placed to do GREAT THINGS IN THE INTERESTS OF HER PEOPLES LITERALLY BASED ON A CLEAN SLATE free from LEADERSHIP CORRUPTION AND ABUSE OF POWER ? Only our beloved Malaysia as I see it.

     Even though you have a few really good Ministers in your Team, those lacking need to constrain themselves and focus on delivery of resolutions of present problems which have been neglected by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites 2004-2018.

     The latter should look back into history and compare it with the present for a better understanding of issues at hand.

     In a country like Malaysia, social issues have always loomed large in our Society like the aged, single mothers, neglected children, addicts, unemployment etc. And these will loom ever larger as the country urbanises when the young eschew extended families and good filial beliefs.

     I believe most of the Ministers holding extensive portfolios can perform if only they do some homework instead of relying on their Civil Service flunkies eg. Ministry of Commodities, Ministry of Environment etc.

     I rate highly the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Defence, Finance, Economic Affairs, Transport, Labour, Information, Sports & Youth, Education (if only this Minister knew that the first BN mega deal was the Maybank-Kim Eng Securities which made some very rich) and the lady Minister who talks sense all the time – Local Government

     As for the Minister in charge of the Laws, he should begin to amend all the neglected Laws caused by the BN Government and not to read out sections of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 and tell the World that everything is OK and the bankrupts provided for. He should read The Star Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018 for an independent view of the bankrupts of which there are over 500,000 urban votes.

     BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PORTFOLIO OF ALL SHOULD BE THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM FOR THE MOMENT..

     This is the key to the quick revival of foreign cash flow into Malaysia. The Minister should not be overwhelmed by the delights of Tourism and should realise that TOURISM IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS WHERE IT IS PROFIT DRIVEN and not a joy-ride for the Minister.

     The World War 2 flattened Germany, Japan and Italy.

     IT WAS THROUGH TOURISM THAT THEY ROSE AGAIN. None of their Ministers of Tourism travelled the World unlike our BN Ministers of Tourism. These German, Japanese and Italian Ministers worked hard at home to ensure that the tourists, the travel agents, airlines, rail and sea transports get the best deals. This was what it should be for them through hard work so that all win with profits and not like our Ministers of Tourism who enjoyed travelling the World at the Rakyat’s expense.

     To this day, nearly 12 months from 9 May 2018, it has been deadly quiet from the Ministry of Tourism apart from the LGBT faux pas in Berlin, the capital of Europe’s LGBT !

     Tourism for Malaysia is like pushing an envelope, the more the pushing the more the returns. The focus should be on Asia and the Middle East where the middle classes are rising. We should not be shy to say that we push for 30 million tourists a year – like this we get 28 million.

     The country needs a sensible and dynamic spark to spark off a campaign at home to bring in the tourists beginning with the travel agents – the rest will automatically follow. I believe our beloved Malaysia is now one of the best and cheapest countries to visit.

     Cheap travel, accommodation with security are important for the good name in tourism.

     Travel agents must make money – NOT ALL THOSE MALAYSIAN CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE PAST beginning in the mid-1980s- one even has his own university now !

     To push TOURISM is only a matter of hard-work with consideration for the tourists and the travel agents. The rewards of forex will be satisfying and all-embracing.

     Lee Kuan Yew put his sister-in-law in charge of the Singapore Tourist Board for a life-time – No monkey business tolerated by him.

     SADDIQ is a good candidate for the Ministry of Tourism to get results.-

     Focus on Asia and the Middle East, focus to improve all at home, focus on the travel agents to make profits, focus on security for the tourists, focus on increasing employment in the tourist industry, focus on discipline and standards, and no monkey business in the local hospitality industry etc,- the forex will flow in like what happened to post war Germany, Japan and Italy. If these countries could do it from zero base, Malaysia should do better !

     Do not be like the BN Minister who spent the Rakyat’s money to promote London via the English upper class Royal Chelsea Flower Show and was awarded a Gold Medal by the Queen. Stupid.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Very good times are just a whisper away with DSAI and the Team by your side. As you correctly pointed out, ” IT’S THE MIND-SET ” Acheh !

125. Tun

     Many readers must be wondering what is my basis for saying that the WEALTH OF THE MALAYS WAS WIPED OUT BY 50 PERCENT BY THE SINGAPOREAN PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES.

     This is my answer with the corollary that the Chinese, the Indians and all of the middle income and working groups being affected as well, thus :-

     1. Between 2004-2018 RM 1.50 Trillion cash was siphoned out of Malaysia.and her economy. Vide International Surveys like UN or IMF

     2. This weakens the Malaysian Ringgit from RM 2.5 to RM 4.0 to a US Dollar.

     3. Since Malaysia is a free market economy, the price of all our imported goods go up accordingly giving rise to inflation and increase in the cost of living in all items from cars, foods, books, etc.

     4. With higher costs of our essentials, we need to bring out MORE money to pay for them.

     5. BUT OUR WAGES DO NOT GO UP BECAUSE OUR EMPLOYERS ARE ALSO NOT MAKING MONEY BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT HAS LESS MONEY TO SPEND DUE TO THE HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY SIPHONED OUT OF THE SYSTEM BY THE CROOKS.

     6. With the rise in the cost of living, the prices of land and houses dropped due to the lack of avenues for the purchasers to make money.

     7. To make matters worst, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt BN Government and its equally corrupt elites GAVE OUT CASH AS A SOP TO THE POPULACE under BR1M. Actually, this was an insult to any informed Rakyat because they stole billions of ringgits out of the System and give pea-nuts to those WHO ELECTED THEM INTO POWER. Stupid.

     8. The worst was the ennobled nobles who dished out billions and billions out of the poor Malay Trusts to some rich Chinese by buying rubbish from them and sold them valuable poor Malay Trust assets very cheaply.

     BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF RINGGITS BELONGING TO THE POOR MALAY TRUSTS DISAPPEARED, INFLATION, RISING COST OF LIVING, FALL IN LANDED PROPERTY PRICES, LACK OF POTENTIAL TO HAVE A JOB OR MAKE MONEY, A POWERLESS BN GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT THE RIGHT POLICIES, INSTITUTIONS IN TROUBLE ETC WIPED OUT THE REAL AND PERCIEVED WEALTH OF THE MALAYS BY AT LEAST 50 PERCENT WHICH WAS PAINSTAKINGLY BUILT UP FROM 2 PERCENT SINCE 1971.

     Sentiments affected the Sime Darby price which should be at least RM 6 and not RM 2. See the wealth lost for the Malays and all as well.

     NO NON-MALAYS WILL ESCAPE FROM THE WIPE OUT OF THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY AND THE MALAY TRUSTS ASSETS. We are all in the same boat.

     We will have to begin again to regain our better standards of living and livelihood.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We all stand united, strong and proud with you to put our beloved Malaysia on the top pedestal again. No problem. MONEY CAN BE MADE AGAIN BUT TRUST THESE FOLKS AGAIN NEVER.

126. Tun

     Many readers must be asking how I come to know so much about cheating in the plantation industry. In fact, I know just as much about cheating in the tin mining industry and the manufacturing industries as well.

     First, all my money left to me by my father was borrowed by my eldest brother who could not repay me so that I could go to Stanford to do research in therapeutics. I was stuck in KL and became a houseman at the KLGH earning RM 401 per month. After a stint with the US Army Medical Research Unit Walter Reed which paid me RM1,200, I was involved in the cleaning up of my family rubber estate in North Johore.

     I sacked all the kepalas at one go. They were corrupted because my brothers never visited the estate for over 20 years. Each kepalas had 2 wives and was using the Estate as their store-house for fertilizers etc.

     Second, I managed a tin mine near Tanjong Rambutan. There was stealing again of the among right in the kongsi office. I sacked the whole lot.

     Third, I was invited to turn round the biggest textile factory in Malaysia, Folex Industries Berhad now known as Sri Hartamas Berhad. On the first day, I sacked the 8 Taiwanese and replaced them with 3 Malaysians, 2 Chinese and I Malay. And stopped the huge theft of goods as waste.

     This was where I learnt that Factory wastes and palm oil factory waste is worth a lot of money.

     HENCE, THE SYNDICATE TO WALLOP ALL THE GLC PLANTATION PALM OIL WASTE BY THE TOP BN LEADERSHIP. I wonder if the syndicatge still operates ? The waste is worth millions of ringgits here.

     Fourth, I was on the Board of Dunlop Estates Berhad. I objected to the sale of the oil palm fruits or rubber to a Chinese company which could always give a HIGHER PRICE than any other.

     My objection was turned down because the MD told me London instructed him to accept the highest price.

     THE CATCH WAS THE CHINAMEN CORRUPTED THIS YOUNG MELAKA FELLOW WITH TWO WIVES AT THE WEIGHBRIDGE. HENCE, A LOT OF THE PRODUCE PASSED THROUGH THE WEIGHBRIDGE OFF THE RECORD !

     This Melaka fellow ended up in Sime Darby. The rest is history with 2 gigantic Sime Darby bankruptcies and sale of valuable asset cheaply to Chinamen as documented by me previously. ONE ROTTEN APPLE IS ENOUGH TO SPOIL THE REST.

     From my experience in managing plantations, tin mines and factories in Malaysia, I never wanted to build a corporate empire.

     In fact, I sold 5 listed companies because I know how the end will turn out to be. I did not want my family to be cheated by those they trust OR THEY CHEAT EACH OTHER. Here are another 3 examples.

     1. One young Chinese was earning RM 550 for MIDF when I employed him in 1975. His father was a kepala in a British rubber estate near Nilai. He could send his son to the University of Western Australia and ended up with 16 acres of plantation land on the Selangor-Negri border through stealing his employer’s rubber.

     2. An aged Chinese couple entrusted their small estate near Rawang to a manager who robbed them blind.

     3. I know at least 2 listed plantation companies which founders were thieves who robbed their employers blind and became rich, very rich.

     It is difficult to own a plantation or a tin mine in Malaysia due to the thieving culture which exists in the industry. A Manager of an estate is the King in his Kingdom if the owners are not hands-on owners who monitor and check every detail.

     TODAY THE THIEVING OF A PLANTATION’S ASSETS IS AS COMMON AS DRINKING WATER.

     This is the black plantation industry which also had its equivalent in the past. This black activity is indulged by those with the means to participate. Hence, THE ORGANISED THEFT OF THE GLCs PLANTATION’S PALM OIL WASTES FROM THE OIL MILLS. This is a TAX FREE MULTI-BILLION RINGGIT BUSINESS ANNUALLY.

     The decades of stealing of plantation assets belonging to the owners ERUPTED INTO ONE GIGANTIC THEFT AFFECTING ALL THE GLCs PLANTATION TRUSTS AS WE CAN NOW SEE IN LTAT, FELDA SIME DARBY ETC. It’s not money for jam. IT’S MONEY FOR FREE BY STEALING FROM THE OWNERS.ie. LTAT, FELDA SIME DARBY etc by the billions of ringgits annually.

     Those gigantic crooked deals by LTAT, FELDA, SIME DARBY etc could be considered as the LAST HURRAH BY THE ENNOBLED CROOKS.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Cheating, stealing in factories, plantations, tin mines, companies etc in Malaysia, are subjects which I know like the back of my hand as I also specialised in the restructuring of bankrupt companies, big and small, my whole life long where white collar crooks were a dime a dozen.

127. Tun

     This morning is a typical fine Malaysian morning even the bulbuls got up late at 7 a.m. I don’t blame them for living in this wonderful land of ours. But look at all the absurd MONEY MONEY MONEY problems created by all those ennobled nobles with the POWER entrusted to them by the Rakyat. THEY ALL LOST THEIR SENSES AND STOLE THE MONEY HELD IN TRUST BY THEM !

     Kudos to you as PRIME MINISTER OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA to clinch a very fine deal of the ECRL with the Chinese Government – the media claim it is the first of its kind.

     HOW MANY MALAYSIANS ARE AWARE THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAME ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA ? Where are you Singapore ?

     Not only that, Malaysia is the politically strategic being located in the most important choke point in the World. This China and all the World recognise. And our beloved Malaysia has good peoples from 3 ancient civilizations and all living in a politically stable land full of natural resources which we should not waste.

     Thanks to you Tun and your efficient and competent aide, our beloved Malaysia is now ready and on the path to zoom up to the Greats like Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India, and Good Governance Japan.

     As I said before, our beloved Malaysia becomes financially stronger day by day especially with the ECRL in place to begin work tomorrow. The Construction Industry is a must and the No. 1 priority for our economy to fast trek upwards again. More construction the better all round.

     And with the ECRL back on an even and normal keel, our friendship with China is back to NORMAL.

     For the very first time, China found out to her cost like my analogy that unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, S. Korea which all have only one door to enter. Malaysia has 10 doors. Behind every door, a smiling and friendly Malaysian. And when asked, he would reply, ‘ No problem ‘ This was when the problem began. To enter the right door in Malaysia under the BN Government was a problem. Where else but Malaysia ?

     It is good very good Tun that your wisdom and common sense led to the amicable resolution of the complicated Chinese puzzle known as ECRL.

     THE WORLD LIKES WINNERS. EVEN FORBES JUMPED IN FIRST WITH A LAUDABLE COMMENT. What more can we ask for Tun ?

     With China as a major investor, our beloved Malaysia must now invite ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD TO INVEST AS WELL TO KEEP A NEUTRAL BALANCE FOR MALAYSIA’S NEUTRALITY IN THE NEXUS OF ASEAN AND THE WORLD.

     Your brilliance and courage in facing the Chinese Dragon is now lauded by all who like winners. More FDI will flow in from now on because the whole World is looking for a place like the NEW MALAYSIA after 9 May 2018 ! It’s a small World Tun !

     This time no more crooked closest aides who collect Stradivarius violins, no more crooked ennobled nobles etc.

     Our beloved Malaysia must move up to the next tier of economic advance based on

     i) easy to understand education with English for all,

     ii) up-grade the essential Laws like the Companies Act 1965, the Bankruptcy Act 1967 – Vide The Star Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018, the Trustees Act 1949 etc.

     iii)abolish all monopolies like the archaic Discount House System,

     iv) reduce the politicking and do more work,

     v) jobs for all with better salaries and last but not least

     vi) the best Health Care in the World with constant monitoring of infectious diseases like TB, Malaria etc.

     Generally, to create a better playing field once again for the Rakyat to succeed.

     vii) The unrevised Bankruptcy Act 1967 which the BN Government replaced with a FAKE attachment LOCKS IN 500,000 BANKRUPTS OF WHICH OVER 200,000 ARE YOUNG MALAYS BY NOT GIVING ALL A SECOND CHANCE UNLIKE SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, AUSTRALIA AND BRITAIN. It was claimed that financial interests wanted to punish the bankrupts which they dare not do in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Britain BECAUSE THESE COUNTRIES ARE NOT CORRUPT LIKE MALAYSIA !

     With the cake more or less now in place for all the Rakyat to benefit, THE ICING WILL BE THE BILLIONS OF STOLEN RINGGITS ARE RETRIEVED AND THE CROOKS ARE JAILED.

     Our lives go on, Tun ! Keep smiling !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. I always wondered why the crooks wanted so much money in their short lives!

128. Tun

     Sorry, typo error in my previous comment. It should be as follows :

     SIME DARBY

     “……2,000 acres of the Nova Scotia estate near Rawang was sold to the MCA Leader for RM 4 Million without the Board’s consent which actual price was a minimum of RM 88 Million -the price paid to the MCA Leader by Selangor Perangsang and the Chinese Tan Sri of Talam.”

129. Tun

     Thanks to your brilliance and courage to oust the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and the GLCs, here is an incomplete list of ennobled nobles making the poor Malays poor and the very few rich Chinese very rich. These ennobled nobles lost all their senses, thus :-

     1. TELEKOM. HOW CAN A MONOPOLY LOSES MONEY ? It is because Telekom bought rubbish from companies like the Green Packet and other Chinese owned companies at exorbitant prices. Now Telekom is selling their best assets. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     2. SIME DARBY. The ennobled Management began this corruption eruption first in the mid-1980s with the sale of Benta by the ex-MCA Chairman to the MCA Leader. Here is the list which Sime Darby BOUGHT EXPENSIVE ASSETS OF NO VALUE FROM THE VERY RICH CHINESE OR SOLD CHEAP TO THEM ie.

     i) 1990. 2,000 acres of Nova Scotia estate near Rawang was sold to the MCA Leader without the Board’s consent for RM 4 Million which value was actually a minimum of RM ** Million, the price bought from the MCA Leader by Selangor Perangsang and the Chinese Tan Sri of Talam who turned it into a tropical slum – Bukit Berendum.

     ii) 1992. Bought a PONDAN OIL PALM estate from a crooked Chinese for RM 32 Million which no one wanted for 20 years at RM 20 Million. I OBJECTED AND WAS ASKED TO RESIGN IMMEDIATELY BY THE ENNOBLED MANAGEMENT ! Crooks sided with crooks.

     111) 1996. Permitted a Chinese crook to speculate with RM 350 Million of Sime Bank’s money. SIME DARBY WENT BANKRUPT IN 1997.

     iv) Bought the only huge estate in Liberia which no one wanted in the land of EBOLA. Now no one wants to buy !

     v) The ennobled nobles always travelled by Serendipity Air through Sime’s own agent Lucy who collected US$ 30,000 for every US$ 100,000 spent by Sime Darby – Hitler’s ex-spy Canaris family’s oil outfit’s head honcho in Egypt told me.

     3. 1MDB. A Chinese boy aged 24 was permitted to control RM 42 Billion of the Government of Malaysia’s money.

     4. FELDA. Huge debts of up to RM 14 Billion were created by the ennobled nobles. An Indonesian Chinese took the biggest bite with pocketing RM 2.4 Billion when his shares were worth only RM 350 Million and now much less. MONEY GONE FOREVER.

     5. LTAT. This cannot be any worse when the ennobled noble who were in charge of the plantations for 35 years paid RM 740 Million of the poor soldiers money to a very rich Chinese for his PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE of hilly terrain and less than 10 FFB per acre when the National Average is 20-24 FFB per acre. The estate is small only 11,400 acres of fragmented lots ! Believe it or not. An estate which no one wanted for over 25 years !

     And LTAT bought more rubbish from the Chinese at exorbitant prices being oil palm estates and the AES companies.

     TH. Did the ennobled nobles buy expensive rubbish from the Chinese using the poor pilgrims money ?

     IT IS CLEAR THAT THESE ENNOBLED NOBLES LOST THEIR SENSES BY SELLING VALUABLE ASSETS OF THE POOR MALAYS BUILT UP BY OUR PRIME MINISTER TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND HIS PREDECESSORS OVER TIME AT VERY LOW PRICES TO A FEW VERY RICH CHINESE AND BOUGHT RUBBISH FROM THE VERY FEW CHINESE AT VERY HIGH PRICES. Instead of safeguarding the poor Malays wealth, these nobles made the poor Malays poorer and the few very rich Chinese even richer. Stupid.

     THE MACC, THE LHDN, THE POLICE SHOULD CATCH THE CROOKS AND CHARGE THEM IN COURT. ALL OF THE CROOKS WERE TRUSTEES OF POOR MALAY TRUSTS.

     BOTH THE BUYER AND SELLER SHOULD BE CHARGED AND FINED ACCORDINGLY FOR CONSPIRACY.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     ALL THE ABOVE CRIMES INVOLVED THE BUYER AND THE SELLER IN FRAUD, THEFT, BREACH OF TRUST, CHEATING AND CONSPIRACY

130. Tun

     With a headline like this ‘ CRUNCH TIME FOR BOUSTEAD ‘, IT IS TIME FOR THE GENERALS OF THE MALAYSIAN ARMY AND THE ARMY AND ALL THE EX-GENERALS AND THE VETERANS TO CATCH HOLD OF THIS ENNOBLED FELLOW WHO SERVED THEM FOR 35 YEARS AND WAS PAID MILLIONS OF RINGGITS AND HIS CHINESE CONSPIRATOR FOR ALLEGED FRAUD, THEFT, CHEATING AND CONSPIRACY.

     The solid evidence is all there i.e. RM 740 Million for 11,400 acres of PONDAN OIL PALMS with less than half the fresh fruit bunches (FFB) production of an average plantation which is 20-24 tonnes of FFB per acre. Even the badly managed Sime Darby has more and is a good comparison.

     WITH SOLID EVIDENCE, THE CONSPIRATORS CANNOT ESCAPE.

     HOW COULD THIS ENNOBLED FELLOW THINK HE CAN ESCAPE SCRUTINY WHO WAS CORRUPT ENOUGH TO PAY OFF RM 740 MILLION EVEN AFTER THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT LOST POWER ON 9 MAY 2018 ?

     Also he bought many other pondan oil palm estates at exorbitant prices.

     THIS ENNOBLED FELLOW CONTROLLING THE WEALTH OF THE VETERANS AND SOLDIERS IN TRUST IS AS BAD AS 1MDB BECAUSE HE BETRAYED THE SOLDIERS TRUST BY BUYING RUBBISH PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATES FROM THE CROOKED CHINESE AND LOST THE WEALTH LIKE THIS BY MAKING THEM POOR !

     No crooks like these are to be permitted to escape. LET THE RULE OF LAW PREVAILS !

     THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT SHOULD RETRIEVE ALL THE HARD-EARNED MONEY BELONGING TO THE SERVING SOLDIERS AND THE VETERANS.

     Catch all the conspirators buyer and seller. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Let the Generals and ex-generals, the soldiers and the veterans catch these CROOKS.

131. Tun

     IT IS TIME FOR ALL MALAYSIANS TO WAKE UP THAT THE HUGE WEALTH BUILT-UP BY THE TUNKU, TUN ABDUL RAZAK, TUN HUSSEIN ONN AND ESPECIALLY OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD FOR THE MALAYS (he also created the 6 million family Malay Middle Class) from 2% or zero base up to 30-40% of the economy HAS BEEN WIPED OUT BY 50% DUE TO THEFTS THROUGH SELLING MALAY TRUSTS ASSET OF GOOD VALUE AT CHEAPEST PRICES TO SOME CROOKED CHINESE AND BUYING WORTHLESS ASSETS OF NO VALUE FROM SOME CROOKED CHINESE/FOREIGNERS compounded by the Government and the GLCs during the regime of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites – 2004-2018.

     This was topped off by the SIGNING OF THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP. created by Lee Kuan Yew.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan. Recover all the stolen money.

132. Tun

     Where else but Malaysia ?

     A country which dedicated itself through the Rakyat and the Government to up-lift the living standards of the poor Rakyat and create a level playing field for all since 1971 !

     The decades of hard work, toil, blood, sweat and sacrifice by millions of hard working Malaysians in support of their good and honest Leaders like the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !

     Overnight, the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites 2004-2018 spent ALL AND MORE OF THE RAKYAT’S HARD EARNED MONEY.WHICH INCLUDED THE MALAYS TRUST MONEY !

     THESE RULERS USED MALAY TRUST MONEY IN 1MDB, SIME DARBY, LTAT, FELDA, TH AND ALL THE OTHERS TO MAKE A FEW CROOKED CHINESE RICH, VERY RICH BY BUYING FAKE CHINESE ASSETS AND SELLING REAL VALUABLE ASSETS AT PASAR MALAM PRICES THE FEW CROOKED CHINESE.

     These ennobled fellows swore to carry out their assigned duties too.

     Not only a few crooked Chinese but foreigners too like the Indonesian Chinese High Eagle where a listed share could be bought by the Malaysian Government managed entity at RM 2.04 Billion when its value was only RM 350 Million. The money has gone forever !

     AND THE INDONESIAN CHINESE SAID IN PRINT THAT THEY KNEW NO ONE IN MALAYSIA WITH POWER OR INFLUENCE.

     Of course, they too like the Singaporeans THINK WE MALAYSIANS ARE ABSOLUTELY STUPID which we cannot deny !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     THANKS TO THE SINGAPOREAN PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES 2004-2018 THE WEALTH OF THE MALAYS WHICH WE ALL BUILT UP FROM 2%, 1971-2003 HAS NOW BEEN REDUCED BY 50%. We now have to begin all over again. Better late than never, Tun.

133. Tun

     Unlike our politicians, my friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree stopped their chirping and singing. Here is a list of empty suggestions from a brand new YB who loved to dress in fancy dress and eat exotic foods to the chagrin of her hosts. thus :-

     1. She proposed a New Bill to stop bottom pinching which has been going on since Adam and Eve. She is not aware of the essential Laws to be up-dated for the Rakyat eg. the Company Act 1965, the Bankruptcy Act 1967 and the Trustees Act 1949 which were all neglected by the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     2. Any one who proposed a nursery in a Parliament in the West would be sent to the mental hospital for good. Where else but Malaysia.?

     3. She has just discovered that child abuse only happened in broken homes. And she declared accordingly to all and sundry immediately.

     4. Her latest is that there should be a moratorium on the building of condos in Mont Kiara/Sri Hartamas because of traffic congestion. She is in dreamland because of the following :-

     i) The economy is so bad that any proposal to build should be lauded. One should not snuff out a flickering fire.

     ii) If all building is to be stopped because of traffic congestion, there will be no building construction anywhere in Malaysia or the World. Development to provide jobs and revenue must go on.

     111) The only place where there is no traffic congestion is in the cemetery.

     iv) The YB should tell us which city in the World has no traffic congestion because no condos were built ? Timbuktoo ?

     There is only one place where this YB should be at His Majesty’s payroll !

     It must be the Monday morning blues for the Opposition media, there was only one headline of note, thus :-

     1. ” MORE TO SELL OFF IN TENAGA ”

     Of course, the TENAGA will soon sell their grand-mothers down river if they pay their Non-executive Directors RM 20,000 a month without working from 8 a.m. to 5 a.m.!

     This matches the pay of the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

     Each and everyone of the TENAGA NON-EXECYTIVE DIRECTORS will be a MILLIONAIRE BY IN 4 YEARS JUST BY DOING NO WORK IN TENAGA ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     Where even an ordinary fellow is paid RM 100 MILLION A YEAR BY IHH TO MANAGE THE MONEY OF OTHERS BUT NOT HIS OWN ! Where else but Malaysia ? The land of the very rich without doing any work but to steal from the Rakyat.

     A word on the ‘PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATES OF THE LTAT PORTFOLIO BOUGHT AT ASTRONOMICAL PRICES’ NOT ONLY ONE AT RM 740 MILLION BUT MANY OTHERS !

     A PONDAN OIL PALM BEARS NO FRUITS because from young it did not receive the requisite nutrient foods like fertilizers, water and air adequately. Palms planted on hilly terrain where the soil is poor in natural nutrients, bear no fruits. The fruit bunches are heavy and difficult to transport in steep hilly terrain in estates where every inch of soil counts. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN A PONDANT OIL PALM TREE NORMAL AGAIN. A PONDANT OIL PALM A TREE IS RUINED FOREVER. An oil palm tree is expected to last 25 years. The price LTAT paid was based on SUPER FRUIT BUNCH PRODUCING PALMS which are not found in Malaysia !

     Vide The learned and authoritative tome written by our distinguished Tan Sri Basir Ismail. No lies, no bluffing, no cheating and no stealing !

     No sane investor will buy an oil palm estates separated into little lots LIKE WHAT LTAT PAID THE CHINESE RM 740 MILLION FOR.

     Costs of running from one section to another increase accordingly.

     It is because of the fragmented nature of this RM 740 Million amongst all the NEGATIVE factors that no one wanted this rubbish for over 25 years until the right corrupted fool came along and spent the money of the poor veterans including the GENERALS !

     THEREFORE LTAT WITH SO MANY PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATES PAID SOLID VETERANS MONEY FOR RUBBISH. THE WHOLE LOT HAS TO BE RE-PLANTED AGAIN AT ASTRONOMICAL COSTS. Again Government bail-out ?

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN ! All the other readers of this, proposed 1,000 strokes !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until there was as CRISIS IN MORALS AND ETHICS WITH THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES 2004-2018 !

     Sad to say this all began with Sime Darby and the Benta sale orchestrated by those top MCA fellows in the early 1980s who blamed it on me ! I knew nothing about it until months later when I read about it in the Singapore Business Times. I rushed to see Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who told me I was a non-starter as I was too late and besides it was not worthwhile.

134. Tun

     Kudos to Tun Daim for killing three birds with one stone arising from his difficult negotiations with the Chinese Government.

     First, Tun Daim succeeded to convince the Chinese authorities to revamp major parts of the ECRL to bring down the Project to a manageable cost.

     Second, he has restored back the Normal Friendship and Diplomacy between two friendly Nations.

     Third, as a result new Chinese investments will flow in concomitantly with other foreign investments which now see our beloved Malaysia in a new light. 2019 FDI will zoom to new heights.to restore our beloved Malaysia to a better financial status.

     And all these 3 achievements will provide a solid platform or wherewithal for your forthcoming visit to Beijing.

     The Opposition NSTP mischievously called Tun Daim’s significant achievement in bringing down the cost of ECRL from RM 60 Billion to RM 40 Billion ” a tweak ! ” A huge sum that could build 2 Twin PETRONAS Towers as Tun Daim said.

     And unusually this morning, a Saturday, I got up early to ferry my grand-daughter to the all-day forum on Science and Maths at Subang. As soon as I unlatched the front door, the friendly bulbuls in the young banyan tree began to chirp and sing. This again made my day. Happily they are still in residence !

     How many Malaysians realise that ennobled Malaysians manning all the icons of Malay Trusts, 1MDB, TH, FELDA, LTAT, Sime Darby etc. SOLD OFF THE VALUABLE ASSETS OF THESE MALAY TRUSTS AT EXTREMELY LOW PRICES WITHOUT VALUATION TO CROOKED CHINESE IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE NEP AND BOUGHT ASSETS OF NO VALUE FROM THE CROOKED CHINESE AT EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES AGAIN IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE NEP ?

     All these Malay Trusts originated from the establishment of the NEP 1972. Here are the true examples :-

     1. 1MDB – Yachts, jets, US mansions, diamonds, power stations, low grade property, self-indulgence, etc which cost RM 50 Billion of the Rakyat’s money..

     2. FELDA – Public money was used to buy RM 2.1 Billion of Eagle High shares worth only RM 350 Million from an Indonesian Chinese. The rest of its padded purchases overseas were from non-Malays. In direct contravention of the NEP. The ultimate interest of the poor Malay settlers were ignored.

     3. LTAT. A headline ” CRUNCH TIME FOR BOUSTEAD “.

     Just before the 14 GE, Boustead Pertama Estates bought the Pondan Sabah Estate at over RM 740 Million.

     I know this Estate very well.

     This Pondan Estate was purchased from some gullible Taiwanese who had an office in Tawau. I visited them in 2000 for information. They pulled a black and long face at me because they foolishly exchanged their 11,579 acres for a listed company paper shares at RM 3.40 per share. By the time, I met them in 2000 this listed share was below RM 1 which eventually found a bottom at 40 sens ! I believe they foolishly accepted a moratorium forbidding a sale of their shares within a certain period.

     So, the present Chinese vendor got the 11,579 acres FREE which he now on-sold to the ennobled Malaysian who managed LTAT for 35 years at RM 740 MILLION OF WHICH ALL IS BORROWED MONEY as the record showed as at 31 December 2018.

     WHO SAYS THERE IS DISCRIMINATION IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ?

     And the FAKE PLANTER DEFENDED THIS INDEFENSIBLE DEAL IN ” THE EDGE “. Stupid. Why hilly terrain difficult ? Because the fruit bunches are heavy and hilly terrain in a plantation is just bad news. And this Estate is a Pondan Estate because it was NOT MAINTAINED NORMALLY FOR DECADES. Replanting costs for such a terrain is ASTRONOMICAL ! This was why the Chinaman spent NO MONEY on his Pondan Estate.

     Hence, PONDAN PALMS + HILLS + 50% LOWER YIELD = BIG LOSS OF RM 740 MILLION. We do not need a rocket scientist from Singapore to work this one out ! Stupid Fake Planter ! This fellow should be sacked forthwith as being CORRUPT which is absolutely dangerous in the planting industry spanning over thousands of acres. THEFT IS A COMMON OCCURENCE IN THESE LONELY PLACES.

     NO PLANTER EVER BORROWS TO REPLANT OR EXPAND A PLANTATION.

     Only fools do so.

     THERE WERE NO FOOLS IN THE PLANTATION INDUSTRY FOR OVER 100 YEARS UNTIL THE ADVENT OF FELDA, SIME DARBY AND LTAT (AFTER 2003 but Sime Darby after 1990) WHICH WERE ALL MANAGED BY THESE ENNOBLED GENTLEMEN WHO SPECIALISED IN BUYING AT THE HIGHEST PRICES OR SELLING AT THE LOWEST WHEREVER POSSIBLE FROM OR TO THE CHINESE !

     The name of the game in the Plantation Industry is to buy at the lowest during a recession !

     Apart from the Pondan Estate in a hilly terrain in Sabah caper, LTAT bought the AES companies at a HUGE PRICE of RM 430 Million for no good reason !

     The LTAT debt will now zoom up to more then RM 1 Billion WITH MANY USELESS PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATES BOUGHT AT THE HIGHEST PRICES IN ITS PORTFOLIO using the poor beneficiaries hard-earned money. Stupid.

     4. The infamous Sime Darby Management started it all, thus :-

     i) Sold for a song BENTA BERHAD in the 1980s, to the MCA Leader who eventually went to jail

     ii) Sime Darby sold VERY CHEAP in 1990 – Sold to the same MCA Leader, 2,000 acres of Nova Scotia estate near Rawang for RM 4 Million which value was ACTUALLY RM 88 Million which was the price paid to this same MCA Leader by Selangor Perangsang and a Chinese Tan Sri Talam !

     FANTASTIC DEALS BY SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT.

     iii) Sime Darby bought VERY EXPENSIVE in 1992 the Pondan Oil Palm Sabah Estate owned by a crooked Chinese owned listed Company for RM 32 Million which no one wanted for 20 years at RM 20 Million .AGAINST MY OBJECTION.!.

     iv) Sime Darby bought the bankrupt LAC refrigerator company after 1992 and put it in Manila where it was written off as alleged. Why ?

     v) Sime Darby bought all the plantations in LIBERIA after 1992 the home of EBOLA which never made a sen. Strange.

     vi) In 1995, Sime Darby bought Sandestin Golf Resort, Florida to train Malaysians in hotel management.

     The Sime Darby Management was not aware that the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak established MARA in the 1960s to do the same. Strange.

     The Sime Darby Management claimed they did not lose money by selling Sandestin at RM 72 Million in 1997 which was the same price of RM 72 Million before DEVALUATION. These fellows think all are fools like them who sold the Nova Scotia property for RM 4 Million when the actual MINIMUM VALUE was RM 88 Million..

     vii) The Sime Darby Management bought a British bankrupt condom company JIFFY which they wrote off in a jiffy !

     Those Malaysians, hundreds of thousands of them who contributed with the blood, sweat and toil like your good self Tun who CREATED THE 6 MILLION MALAY FAMILLIES MIDDLE INCOME GROUP AND ALL THE GOODIES FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT can only treat this ennobled Malaysians with disdain. What a shame !

     INSTEAD OF MAKING THE POOR MALAY RAKYAT RICH, THESE ENNOBLED MALAYSIANS MADE SOME CROOKS OF THE CHINESE COMMUNITY RICH, VERY RICH ! This is Travesty of Justice in any language !

     THIS GROUP OF ENNOBLED MALAYSIANS WHO SOLD AT THE CHEAPEST PRICE THE VALUABLE ASSETS OWNED BY THE MALAYS HELD IN TRUST BY THEM TO CROOKED MEMBERS OF THE CHINESE COMMUNITY AND LIKEWISE BOUGHT ASSETS OF NO VALUE FROM THE SAME TYPE OF PEOPLE FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE. This is treason of the First Order.

     AND THE TOTAL EFFECT OF ALL THESE THEFTS BY THE THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA REDUCED THE WEALTH OF THE MALAYS SO PAINSTAKINGLY BUILD UP BY YOU AND YOUR PREDECESSORS BY AT LEAST 50 PERCENT !

     One Trillion ringgits were siphoned out between 2002-2010 and another RM 500 Billion between 2011-2018 as reported. How do those Malaysians who helped to build up the Wealth of our beloved Malaysia feel ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan always..

135. Tun

     We must not forget why Proton lost money. I put the blame on the CLOSEST AIDES WHO MANAGED THE PROTON GROUP ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNEMENT.
     For the following reasons :-

     1. The Closest Aides knew absolutely nothing about manufacturing.

     2. All of them walloped the money in Proton big-time eg. wastes, padding radios, sun visors, wheel rims (5 per car) batteries, tyres etc. ALL THESE FAKE PRICES AMOUNTED TO WHAT THE GOVERENMENT SUBSIDIZED PROTON.

     3. Like this how can Proton make money ?

     4. And they put the BLAME on you. Look at these fellows how rich they are today eg. owners of public listed companies, businesses, Stradivarius violins at US$ 5 Million a piece etc.

     YOUR CONCEPT WAS CORRECT WITH PROTON BUT SCREWED UP BY THE CLOSEST AIDES WHO ARE ALL VREY RICH NOW AT THE RAKYAT’S EXPENSE AND YOUR HONEST REPUTATION !

     WHY NONE OF THE CLOSEST AIDES OWN UP AND ADMIT THEY WERE ALL INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AND THEFT ? Because they were ALL INVOLVED AS A SYNDICATE OF SILENCE !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. NO CLOSEST AIDES ANYMORE !

136. Tun

     At the beginning of the 1MDB great robbery, most of us including myself thought it was only a one off thing coupled with over-spending by those in command and hangers-on of Israelis and other Hollywood camp followers. But with my RM 3.50 nasi lemak and my the tarik, my eyes were struck blind by the obat or ubat tainted headlines every morning in recent days !

     And not forgetting my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree. They are still there and began their morning chore at 6.55 a.m. because I was a wee bit late. Great birds of a feather !

     The IMMORALITY OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES KNEW NO BOUNDS.

     Take the TNB AGM announcement today. RM20,000 monthly payment to non-executive Directors amounting to RM 240,000 per year. This is way above any decent emoluments for Directors who actually contribute nothing. Still Companies like TNB lose money and go bankrupt. THIS IS IMMORAL AND INFECT OUR MORALS OF GOOD STANDING AND ETHICS.

     It is just a simple ploy conjured up by the TNB Executives to balloon up the non-executives emoluments first then they are justified to boost their own. THIS PLOY IS AS OLD AS THE HILLS, TUN !

     For 18 years service with Sime Darby I was paid only RM 500,000 before Tax.

     Nowadays, Sime Darby’s motorcar sales man is not only a DATO but paid more than RM 500,000 a year. THE WHOLE COUNTRY’S WORK AND REWARD ETHICS ARE NOT ONLY LOP-SIDED BUT CORRUPT due to the shenanigans of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs 2004-2018

     How many Malaysians are aware that all of today’s malfeasance did not start at the drop of a hat orby pressing a computer button ?

     All these began in eruptions beginning with the BMF Affair and eventually erupted again in Sime Darby 1992-2010 and finally the IMMORALTIY INFECTED THE WHOLE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES COMPOUNDED BY THE FREE-SPENDING GLCs 2004-2018 !

     HERE ARE THE TRUE FACTS OF WHICH I WAS INVOLVED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THESE CROOKED DEALS.

     1984. Out of my own volition, I met the infamous George Tan of the BMF fame and got him to pay back HK$ 150 Million. HSBC wanted HK$ 300 Million. The deal collapsed and turned into a scandal.

     1992. I was kicked out by the Sime Darby Management which jobs were created by me for them in 1975. Before this, these fellows were all lowly paid flunkeys in British set-ups.

     Not only that, the Malaysians ran out of money at RM 23 Million to take-over Sime Darby in 1974. Without letting anyone know, I met Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who claimed she knew nothing about politics and not involved with her husband’s work. I knew she was a founder of PAP ! We talked for 1 hour.

     By April 1975, OCBC and UOB bought enough shares to give the Malaysians control of Sime Darby. This we must never forget BECAUSE BEFORE THIS THE MALAYS DID NOT HAVE A BIG BUSINESS AND OWNED ONLY 2% OF THE ECONOMY ! My 1972 Concept to capture Sime Darby for Malaysian interests was to create a level playing field for the Malays quickly so that the Chinese and all can do business without any political play. FOR THIS A MCA LEADER CALLED ME A MALAY BUM SUCKER SO THAT WITH THIS EXCUSE HE COULD CHEAT HIS OWN AND GO TO JAIL.

     I was a non-executive of Sime Darby from 1974-1992 appointed by the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak, the Prime Minister. Until I was kicked out by the Malaysian Management, there was NO SCANDAL for 18 years. And during this period, I made one significant proposal to corner all the palm oil bunkering facilities in China in 1982 ! The Management set-up a small one at Port Said Egypt.

     10 years later, all the Chinese bunkering facilities were owned by KLK, IOI and the Kuok Group.

     During my time, Benta was sold to a MCA leader by the Chairman of Sime Darby an ex-MCA leader without my knowledge. I found this out in the Singapore Business Times which the buyer alleged I helped him with the cheap sale. I consulted Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who told me I was a non-starter because not only was I late but it was not worthwhile.

     Again this MCA Leader walloped Sime Darby’s valuable Nova Scotia estate for only RM 4 Million which was next to the Rawang Highway in 1990. This property was shuffled via a listed company to Selangor Perangsang and a Chinese Tan Sri’s Talam at RM 88 Million.

     I ASKED THE SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT WHY THEY SOLD SO CHEAP AND THE BOARD NOT INFORMED ?

     The reply by the Sime Darby Management was that the RM 4 Million was less than 2% of the Company’s total assets. BUT THIS SIME DARBY FELLOW FORGOT THAT THE PROPERTY WAS ACTUALLY WORTH A MINIMUM OF RM 88 MILLION ! And he could have sold all the assets thus without informing the Board. Stupid man.

     As I was not told about the Nova Scotia sale, and only heard about it in the street. This made me blushed.

     In 1992, THE SAME SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT WANTED TO BUY A PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE IN SABAH WHICH NO ONE WANTED FOR 20 YEARS AT RM 32 MILLION. This Estate was hawked around for 20 years at RM 20 Million. The purchase was from a well-known crooked Chinese.

     I knew that this fellow wanted the money to buy the Sabah Shipyard at RM 22 Million which Renong offered at RM 11 Million ! And the balance of RM 10 Million was surplus to the Company’s needs but himself ! THE SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT WANTED ME TO SIGN THIS DEAL IN A HURRY. I refused to sign and resigned.

     AFTER MY RESIGNATION, THE SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT BOUGHT A BANKRUPT BRITISH REFRIGERATOR COMPANY LAC, SANDESTIN GOLF AND HOLIDAY RESORT AT RM 72 MILLION AND CLAIMED NOT TO HAVE LOST AFTER THE RINGGIT DEVALUATION IN 1997 BY SELLING IT AGAIN AT RM 72 MILLION (Devalued)!

     AND THE WORST CAPER OF ALL, SIME DARBY LOST RM 350 MILLION BY SUPPORTING A CROOKED CHINAMAN IN SHARE SPECULATION AND BLAMED IT ALL ON AN INNOCENT EMPLOYEE in 1996.

     The Sime Darby Management was ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS CROOKED ACT BECAUSE THEY HAD OVERSIGHT OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE SIME BANK AND ONE OF THEM WAS WITH BNM FOR A VERY LONG TIME !

     With all these frauds, cheating, corruption and theft, Sime Darby was bankrupted twice at RM 1.20 Billion in 1996 and RM 2.10 Billion in 2010. The SAME SIME DARBY MANAGEMENT WAS IN PLACE UNTIL 2010. No one was charged. No one went to jail.

     BUT THE SIME DARBY CROOKED SAGA CAN ONLY BE OVER-SHADOWED BY THE FOREIGN CLOSEST AIDE IN CORRUPTION.

     He began doing his thing with the sponsorship of his boss the distinguished Tan Sri Basir Ismail whose Samsonite was carried by him in a small tin factory in JB in 1982.

     By the mid-1980s, this foreign closest aide boasted to the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore Dr Goh Keng Swee and other PAPs in front of my cousin that HE HAD THE EARS OF THE GOOD AND GREAT OF KL. In other words, he was trawling for business. By the time this fellow retired back to Singapore after 2003, he owned a bank, a golf rssort, hotels, homes in Subang etc.

     Via the social media HE BOASTED THAT HE COLLECTS STRADIVARIUS VIOLINS AT US$ 5 Million a piece which he on lent to Singapore and Shanghai Philharmonic but not to KL.

     He was so arrogant behind his Patron’s back that by 1992, HE FORCEABLY ASKED ME TO QUIT MY NON-DIRECTORSHIPS AT CYCLE & CARRIAGE LTD SINGAPORE AND BINTANG CYCLE & CARRIAGE BERHAD SO THAT as a non-executive director HE COULD SELL CHEAP THE BEST PROPERTY ARDMORE PARK TO WHAMPOA HOLDINGS OF HONG KONG AND BINTANG’S BEST PJ LAND TO A CHINESE FINANCIAL SET-UP. Both of them were my friends.

     OF COURSE, I QUICKLY RESIGNED SO THAT HIS CROOKED ACTS ARE NOW RECORDED IN THE ANNUAL REPORTS OF 1993 & 1994. And the best of all, I DID NOT TELL THIS CROOKED CLOSEST AIDE THAT I KNEW HIS PATRON SINCE 1972 ! And that the Federal Government via EPF appointed me and Tan Sri Basir Ismail to restructure the Cycle & Carriage Group in 1984 !.

     Finally, ALL THE MALFEASANCE OF LTAT IS ALL EXPOSED AND PUBLICISED.

     The ex-head honcho who was ensconced in LTAT for decades treated all the ex-generals as though they knew nothing about money.

     I was appointed a non-executive Director of GUARDIAN ROYAL EXCHANGE in 1984 and became the Chairman of its Investment Committee which made over RM 20 Million every year and was the talk of the industry until the principal shareholder AXA wanted me to be Chairman of GRE. This fellow objected to my appointment. I resigned. NOW I KNOW WHY !

     BUT THE BIGGEST FAKE DEAL BY LTAT MUST BE THE PURCHASE OF A PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE IN SABAH AT RM 900 MILLION JUST BEFORE THE 14 GE ! No one wanted this estate for over 20 years because of its pondan history. And at the end of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government regime, RM 900 Million CASH was paid for it. FANTASTIC. Using poor Rakyat’s hard-earned money to buy at BIG PRICES THE ASSETS OF A CHINESE WITH NO VALUE. I thought this ennobled fellow swore to make the Malays rich and not the Chinese ? The same happened in Sime Darby. The same happened in FELDA and the Indonesian Chinese Eagle. The same in DBKL. It’s crazy, Tun !

     In support of my comments as mentioned above, here are the sordid headlines caused by people WITH NO MORALITY, thus :-

     1. ” LTAT RESULTS OVERSTATED ”

     2. ” LTAT PROFIT FOR 2017 SHOULD BE RM370M, NOT RM662M ”

     3. ” COPS ORDERED TO PROBE FELDA ”

     4. ” A-G, MACC CHIEF TO TESTIY ON CITY HALL LAND SALE.”

     5. ” RM 10M LONDON APARTMENT ”

     10.” DUO HELD OVER RM3.5M SUKMA FUNDS CASE ”

     The crooked aides have left no stone unturned in their quest to rob the Rakyat of every ringgit under their control

     NOT ONLY MUST THE CROOKS BE CHARGED IN COURT BUT ALSO THE LHDN SHOULD SEND THEM ALL AN INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT AND THE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS TAKE BACK ALL THE TAN SRI-SHIPS AND DATO-SHIPS FROM THESE RECALCITRANTS.

     And all their stolen money hidden overseas must be RETRIEVED TO BENEFIT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT, NOT THE HOST COUNTRIES.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if the New and Incorruptible Government adopts a stern Policy under the Rule of the Law to deal with this OUTBREAK OF IMMORALITY 2004-2018. Then what you importantly said yesterday ” PM. AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, THIRD NATIONAL CAR VITAL TO COUNTRY ” will surely SUCCEED !

137. Tun

     It is difficult to find a day which is free from news about the Corrupt Thieves of Putrajaya.

     On this all-out theft of the Rakyat’s money held in Trust, each and every one of these hallowed Trusts were completely robbed of the money. In some cases, after the coffers were emptied the Thieves of Putrajaya used these empty Trusts like the FELDA to borrow billions not millions of ringgits more.

     No Trust holding the Rakyat’s money was exempted eg. FELDA, LTAT, TH, etc. Not only that, these Malay Trusts bought fake assets at over many times the value like the Eagle shares or the pondan oil palm estate in Sabah. Or the infamous 1MDB which lost RM 50 Billion more.

     Even my feather friends got up earlier this morning at 6.50 a.m. chirping and singing with anxiety. Birds have feelings but the THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA HAVE NO FEELINGS FOR THE RAKYAT ! How could it be ?

     THEN THE WHOLE THIEVING LOT MUST BE ON THE FINEST THAI UBAT OR OBAT.

     I came across this ubat or obat thing many years ago.

     I found that there were places in KL town where such magical potions were sold in very odd places like the Sungei Wang Complex or the public housing in Taman Tun Abdul Razak. The purveyors were either Chinese or Indian. Both threw in fortune telling as an additional perk.

     How many Malaysians know that there are different types of ubat or obat with different strengths ? The most powerful is the Thai ubat followed by the Nepalese. Indian ubat is so-so. Malay or Orang Asli ubat is weak in strength.

     Ubat or obat is mainly used to make a lover stick to the perpetrator of the ubat or obat. Under such circumstance, an over-dosage was a frequent occurrence due to the zeal of the anxious perpetrator to make the expensive ubat or obat work !

     This ubat or obat malady amongst love-torn Malaysians is a diagnosis which has never been written about in Western medical textbooks. May be some researcher on this strange all-out theft of the Rakyat’s money by the Thieves of Putrajaya will one day publish their findings.

     Synptoms of over-dosage by ubat or obat, we can see from the pictures of the recalcitrants every day as they move in and out of the Courts – apparently smiling without a care in the World even though they have been charged with the thefts of Billions and Billions of the Rakyat’s money. Obviously, these over-dosage of the powerful ubat or obat had its effects.

     STRANGELY, NO ONE HAS BROUGHT UP THIS INTERESTING SUBJECT OF OVERDOSAGE BY THE FINEST QUALITY AND MOST EXPENSIVE THAI UBAT OR OBAT.

     A subject which all practicing Malaysian doctors should know because such maladies do crop up in odd places like even at the highest level of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     It is alleged for many years that all types of ubat or obat were served openly in places of entertainment at night in KL and other places with Government officials in full attendance. I would not know personally because I do not frequent such haunts for a Life-time !

     As Tun had mentioned, it takes discipline to avoid doing malfeasance.

     And here are the ubat or obat headlines of today in support of the World’s Greatest Malfeasance by the Thieves of Putrajaya.

     Whether they were high on ubat or obat or not is the question ?

     Little do these greedy fellows know that if they want to do a decent job, it is only a matter of practice which was why the Kamasutra of 386 positions or the Ming Pillow Books were created for the edification of all except the Thieves of Putrajaya.

     1. ” GOVERNMENT RAMPS UP FELDA PROBE ”

     2. ” FELDA WILL PERSIST IN SELLING EAGLE HIGH STAKE BACK TO RAJAWALI ”
     This money of RM 2.04 Billions is gone forever !

     3. ” PUT OPTION PUT DOWN ”

     4. ” FELDA WHITE PAPER REVEALS SHADY DEALS ”

     5. ” PLANTING SEEDS TO A NEW FELDA “. Don’t joke. Where is the experienced and honest human resources to carry this out ? All were corrupted and gone.

     6. ” GOVT TO GIVE RM6.23B TO RESCUE FELDA ” So easy, ugh ?

     7. ” FELDA UNLIKELY TO SETTLE RM1.98B DEBTS. ” FELDA is dead !

     10. ” LTAT BOUGHT PONDAN OIL PALM ESTATE FROM CHINESE FOR RM900M – THE HIGHEST PRICE EVER JUST BEFORE 14TH GE ”

     FELDA a Malay Trust well-administered for over 50 years ran into the ground in just 3 years after the advice of some friendly bankers who also made some money like the Sime Darby biggest oll palm plantation in the World caper !

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

     An idea came to my mind that the MINISTRY OF FINANCE MUST SET UP A SPECIALISED UNIT TO RETRIEVE ALL THE STOLEN MONEY BY THESE THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA BECAUSE THIS TASK WILL BE DIFFICULT AND TAKE MANY YEARS TO DO SO.

     This Special Unit should work closely with the MACC, LHDN, BNM and SC.

     The latter SC is suspect because I reported a huge share rigging of over RM 1 Billion for 15 years with complete documentation on the Bursa on 4th May 2016 and it was reported to me recently that there was NO SHARE-RIGGING. Between 4 May 2016 and 9 May 2018, a lot of things could have happened with SC and its well-known history in those pre-9 May 2018 days !

     A SPECIALIZED UNIT IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE TO RETRIEVE ALL THE MONIES IS A MUST OR THE THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA WILL LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO JAIL. EVERY RINGGIT MUST BE RECOVERED IN THE RAKYAT’S INTERESTS.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. No OBAT OR UBAT for NORMAL people.

138. Tun

     These are exciting days for our beloved Malaysia and her New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great. Therefore, we have headlines galore to face us in the media. Now and then, the Opposition created fake news to derail the good intentions of the incumbent Government or deride it.

     As for my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree, they were up and chirping and singing at 6.52 a.m. No problem.

     The headlines galore read like a restaurant’s menu, thus :-

     1. ” MUTUAL RESPECT ”

     2. ” RESOLVING THORNY ISSUES AMICABLY ”

     3. ” FORCED TO ENTER INTO ONE-SIDE DEAL ”

     4. ” FELDA LODGES REPORT AGAINST NAJIB ”

     5. ” FELDA SEEKING RM 6 BIL GOVERNMENT RESCUE SAYS SOURCE ”

     6. ” ANALYSTS TURN CAUTIOUS ON IHH ”

     7. ” IHH SEEN TO FACE TOUGH OPERATING CONDITIONS IN MEDIUM TERM,”

     8. ” NO-GO FOR SABAH, SARAWAK STATUS ”

     9. ” EQUAL PARTNER STATUS BID FAILS ”

     10. ” LTAT FINANCIAL REPORT READY BY JULY ”

     11. ” I DID NOT ISSUE SHELLFISH WARNING ”

     What a list of the sublime to the ridiculous, Tun ? Of thieves who stole from the poor Rakyat settlers and heroes who up-kept their honour, integrity, sincerity and loyalty for a Life-time. In short, of mice and Men !

     1. Finally, the Causeway relationship of Malaysia and Singapore is slowly coming back to NORMAL since 1966 !

     Even today there was a comment by a Singaporean in the social media questioning the capability of us Malaysians to manage the tiny air-space above Pasir Gudang.

     To re-cap, the Malaysian Air-space was controlled from Singapore up to 1972, up to Perlis – a British relic. Thereafter, this tiny Pasir Gudang Airspace was left to Singapore to control because at that time there was no Senai Airport.

     It is proper and legal for Malaysia to regain its own air-space because every time a Malaysian plane or helicopter or drone uses it, Malaysia has to ring up Singapore by going through the official channels.

     3, 4 & 5. Actually, RM 14 Billions were stolen from FELDA.

     At the point of listing, FELDA had RM 6 Billion cash. At the end of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, the liabilities accrued to FELDA were RM 8 Billion as reported. Therefore, the present bail-out requirement of RM 6 Billion is only to cover immediate debts repayments.

     ANOTHER RM 8 BILLION WILL HAVE TO BE RAISED TO SATISFY RE-PLANTING PROGRAMMES ETC. There are frivolous suggestions from the ignoramuses about the plantation industry. These should be ignored.

     AND FELDA SHOULD RETURN TO ITS AGE-OLD PRACTICES WHICH STOOD IT IN GOODSTEAD FROM 1960 OT 2010 – 50 YEARS BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA AND THEIR BANKING ADVISERS ON HOW TO STEAL BILLIONS FROM THE POOR FELDA SETTLERS !

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan !

     6 & 7. IHH will be the next to blow up with a loss of billions of ringgits for its shareholders and financiers in FAR AWAY PLACES WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO CATCH THE CROOKS eg. Turkey, India and China.

     For years I have commented that the IHH Model is flawed.

     NO ONE INVESTS GOOD MONEY INTO ANY COMPANY WITHOUT A CLEAN SLATE OR BALANCE SHEET BECAUSE IT IS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT IF A BALANCE SHEET IS OUT BY ONE-RINGGIT, THIS MIGHT HIDE A MONUMENTAL LIABILITY. The first basic fact for an accounting student.

     And then we have this Singaporean fellow telling the World, FAIRY TALES OF THE SINGAPOREAN WOODS AT BUKIT TIMAH !

     Besides, the billions of ringgits he spent is NOT HIS MONEY BUT FROM THE POOR RAKYAT OF MALAYSIA WHICH RUNS INTO BILLIONS OF RINGGITS OF CASH AND WORST, BORROWED MONEY OPERATING ACROSS TROUBLED FOREX BORDERS OF TURKEY, INDIA AND CHINA ! This Potemkin-Ponzi show will blow up in quick time or surely as the Sun rises !

     8 & 9. With all due respect to the YB Minister of Law who has just completed his Life’s work to change the name and status of the ROSE, that the 31 million inhabitants of our beloved Malaysia are waiting for him to REVISE AND UP-DATE THE TRUSTESS ACT 1949 AND THE FAKE BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967 which was messed up by the BN Minister of Law by misleading 200,000 young Malays bankrupts and another 300,000 non-Malay bankrupts.

     These should all be given a second chance like in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia which countries the Sabahans and the Sarawakians worship and heavily invested there.

     The Companies Act 1965, the Trustees Act 1949 and the Bankruptcy Act 1967 are ESSENTIAL LAWS for general use of the burgeoning Middle Class in support of our beloved Malaysia’s progress upwards to the next tier of development.

     10. LTAT bought a oil palm estate in Sabah for nearly RM 900 Million CASH just before the 14th GE. Suspicious. This estate no one wanted for nearly 30 years and was reputed to be FULL OF PONDAN OIL PALM TREES – afact well-known and circulated in the plantation industry for at least 25 years.

     AND HERE WE SEE ANOTHER POOR RAKYAT TRUST THE LTAT DISHING OUR NEARLY A BILLION RINGGITS CASH TO A NON-MALAY SELLER LIKE PETER S of Indonesia. WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE PRINCIPLES OF HELPING POOR MALAYS TO BE RICH ?

     Money by the trillions seemed to flow OUT OF THE MALAYS HANDS TO OVERSEAS 2004-2018. AS REPORTED, ONE TRILLION RINGGITS FLOWED OUT OF MALAYSIA BETWEEN 2002-2010. And another RM 500 Billion from 2011 to 2018 ! Only those in control of the country could do this during the period 2002-2018 !

     11. The culprits involved in twisting the facts to give a poor version of our beloved Malaysia on the shell-fish, should be sacked. This fake news went viral and reached the shores of Singapore which commentators gave negative reviews on a natural product of Malaysia by down-grading the shell-fish.

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 10 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. As long as we avoid the OBAT !

     8. ” IHH SEEN TO FACR TOUGH OPERATING CONDITIONS IN MEDIUM TERM “

139. Tun,

     As the day passes by, and nearer the 1st Anniversary of the ousting of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, the omens before us are good, very good to the chagrin of the naysayers, detractors and troublemakers. With the rise and rise of the Brent oil price, our beloved Malaysia will take on a better and better financial picture for the World to see.

     Not forgetting my feather friends the chirping and singing bulbuls this morning, I was in a hurry and did not notice them as I had two jobs on hand – to ferry my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK and her grand-mother to the wet market. Both jobs I enjoyed to keep me alive, kicking and healthy !

     The omens are becoming better and better for the New and Incorruptible Government as the days go by.

     But the headlines reporting on the malfeasance of the previous Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites are both shocking and down right disgraceful to a proud Nation like our beloved Malaysia. For 14 years, 2004-2018, this corrupt BN Leadership did things which all of us felt ashamed and cringed in our chairs. Headlines thus :-

     1. ” HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVER-PAYMENT OF RM 2.4 BILLION TO HIS FRIEND PETER BY FELDA ”

     2. ” HRDF OFFICERS HAD A GALA TIME ”

     3. ” OBSCENE HRDF BONUSES ”

     4. ” MAT SABU : TH WOULD HAVE GONE BANKRUPT ” – poor Rakyats’ Trust !

     1. The value of the asset which was bought by FELDA from his friend Peter was only RM 350 Million. Through the abuse of POWER, his friend Peter was paid RM 2.4 Billion.

     FELDA before this horrible scandal was a World famous and successful icon which was set-up by the accused’s father, Malaysia’s greatest Statesman Tun Abdul Razak who could command the respect and loyalty of all Malaysians. His faithful and loyal aides like Tan Sri Taib Andak made FELDA a successful Brand name not in the art of money-making but a fountain of wealth and succour for the landless and hapless poor Malays.

     Since then, I have met many university graduates from this group of Malaysians. And under the hands of his son, the whole iconic edifice was destroyed by greed and something else !

     Having been an observer of the rise of FELDA in the 1960s and to watch its contrived fall, IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STOMACH.

     I was a close friend of Tan Sri Taib Andak and YBM Raja Tan Sri Alias as well. The FELDA settlers were literally cheated of their hard-earned wealth by those with the POWER.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan !

     2 & 3. If the head of the Government is corrupt, the body is corrupted ABSOLUTELY !

     The officers HRDF a Trust LAVISHED THEMSELVES WITH SO MUCH MONEY WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORITY THAT THEY HAVE COMMITTED THEFT, CRIMINAL BREACH OF TRUST, FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY ! They zoomed their emoluments in 3 years by 3,240 per cent. WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA !

     Our beloved Malaysia is a small place. The citizens are gossipy and cannot keep any secrets. Hence, when a rumour enters the market place, it is more likely to be true. As it is said. ‘ There is no smoke. There is no fire.’

     HENCE THE SHENANIGANS OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES ARE KNOWN AND VIEWED BY THE RAKYAT LIKE FISH IN AN AQUARIUM ! How ? Simple. All the reports come form those who served these high-flying types in the Government.

     AND FOR YEARS NOW WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE ABUSES OF THE BN GOVERNMENT BY ITS OWN KEEPERS ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     4. TECHNICALLY TH MIGHT NOT BE BANKRUPTED YET. But in practice, TH is bankrupted by the BN politicians who treated it like THEIR OWN SAVINGS BANK. The buying at high prices and the selling at low prices.

     The above-mentioned THEFTS OF PUBLIC MONEY IS ONLY A VERY SHORT LIST OF 3 ICONIC INSTITUTIONS.

     The fact is NEARLY 100 PER CENT OF GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN ROBBED OF THE MONEY BY THOSE BN APPOINTEES WHO HAD THE POWER ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 10 strokes of the rotan.

140. Tun,

     This afternoon I heard my feather friends were back in the young banyan tree. They were chirping and singing as usual My heart returned to its normal beat in response.

     And a good headline from the independent Financial Times today, thus :-

     ” SOUTH EAST ASIAN WINNERS IN FOREIGN INVESTMENT – VIETNAM AND MALAYSIA ARE ATTRACTIVE ON THEIR OWN MERITS EVEN WITHOUT A US-CHINA TRADE WAR .”

     This is an unbiased article on Malaysia good name for investment by all counts.

     With the determined Will of the New and Incorruptible Government to put back our beloved Malaysia’s economy and bureaucracy on a normal and even keel, who does not want to invest in Malaysia ?

     Without being repetitive, I repeat once again that our beloved Malaysia overnight has become one of four most important small countries of the World after 9 May 2018. This reflects badly on the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, 2004-2018. They did nothing as Leaders of an important country for 14 years..

     Thanks to the brilliance and courage of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, the only person in the whole World who could oust the Corrupt lot by DEMOCRATIC MEANS.

     We Malaysians living in our beloved Malaysia has another chance of achieving our aims to be ONE OF FOUR IMPORTANT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN AND UNIQUE MALAYSIA.

     How many Malaysians are aware that our beloved Malaysia lies right in the nexus of the most strategic location in the World and stands astride a choke-point of 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea ?

     With our good citizens from 3 civilizations and more, and bountiful natural resources with an adequate land mass, Malaysia is really and truly THE MOST STRATEGIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

     This fact should govern our planners and the citizens to think and ponder properly as regards many matters like Foreign Policy, Investment Policy, Tourism Policy etc.

     It must always be remembered that our natural and green environment should not be torn asunder like in Pulau Pinang, Pahang, Kelantan, Melaka and Johor, Sabah and Sarawak.

     Clusters of foreign SME from India, China Korea and Japan should be encouraged especially in the FTZs, Sabah and Sarawak.

     With the New and Incorruptible Government soon back to NORMAL, Malaysia should be up and running by the second half of 2019 concomitant with the recovery of the petroleum price and the palm oil price as well.

     The strengthening of the financial resources of the Government will bring on the stimulus of the construction industry once again with the support of the banks which by now should be aware of their own positions. In three months, a better picture will be formed. And with the Government and Private Sector machineries working in tandem and synchronisation, our beloved Malaysia’s wherewithal is ready to zoom only upwards propelled by the recovery of huge amounts of the stolen money hidden by the Thieves of Putrajaya !

     They will soon learn that in these days of anti-terrorism, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HIDE STOLEN MONEY ANYWHERE EVEN IN SWITZERLAND !

     Tun, the blessings will come for the good people in the Government as days go by.

     This is the Moment. This is the Truth. This is thePpay-back for people of honour, integrity, loyalty and sincerity. The crooks will troop off to jail.

     With the price of a barrel of oil above US$ 70, Malaysia’s future is certainly very bright UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT OF THE OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE NEW AND THE GREAT WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. No shame either to recognise we Malaysians live in a fabled land of the Golden Chersonese !

141. Tun

     My feather friends were absent from their nest in the young banyan tree this morning. Perhaps, they have flown away because of the heavy down-pour yesterday afternoon. I hope they will return soon. I am waiting for them with their chirping and singing. Such is Life with its ups and downs.

     And the significant headline this morning, thus :-

     ” DOING IT DR MAHATHIR’S WAY FOR EDUCATION “. The headline is twisted and gives a dictatorial feel to the proceedings which is untrue as we know.

     KUDOS TO YOU FOR YOUR BRILLIANCE AND COURAGE IN RIGHTING A WRONG WHICH CAUSED AT LEAST TWO GENERATIONS IF NOT THREE OF MALAYSIANS TO BE LACKING IN THE USE OF ENGLISH. You have de-politicised the English language which is the proper thing to do.

     This faux pas began around 1969, when the Minister of Education created his own Policy without the consent of the Cabinet. After this he disappeared into the Sarawak woods and could not be found.

     From this point onwards, English and our Malaysian Education System went on a downward spiral WITH THE POLITIZISATION OF THE MALAYSIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM BEGINNING WITH THE SUPPRESSION OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

     As a result, two generations of Malaysians if not three, lacked the use of the English language. This created unhappiness, frustration and an inferiority complex in Malaysians who ARE AS GOOD AND NORMAL AS ANYONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET.

     During these years, I could see that these young Malaysian who spoke no English, were capable, willing and hard-working. BUT THE GOVERNMENT POLICY OF THE DAY LET THEM DOWN. I kept quiet as the English language was POLITICISED.

     A true example is India, the largest democracy in the World. India never tinkle or suppress the English language, If at all, India enhanced and encouraged its use. There is an Education Silicon Valley in Dehra Dun and Mussoorie, India where there are many established and famous schools, colleges and institutions which all use the English language since India’s independence in 1947. This is one of the many centres where India’s elites are trained to serve the Nation.

     Now the 350 Million English speaking Middle Class Indians form the bulwark of India’s progress, development and modernization. Soon, India will overtake Britain as the 5th economic Power in the World. India has over 350 dialects.

     We now understand India was wise to keep and enhance the English language which pays her immense benefits. These are confirmed by the many World class Indians we see in the West today.

     INDIA DID NOT SHOOT HERSELF IN THE FOOT AS REGARDS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

     Another example is that when I was a boy, I studied English and Classical Cantonese. Later, I studied Hindi and Urdu. After this, I was onto English, Latin and Classical Cantonese. After graduation, I studied Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin. All these languages did not turn me into something else, I AM STILL A CHINAMAN !

     KUDOS TO YOU AGAIN TUN FOR THIS BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS ACT OF RIGHTING A WRONG. YOUR DECISION WILL BENEFIT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER !

     The Rakyat in time will thank you for this gesture, A TRILLION TIMES BY FREEING THEM FROM THE POLITICAL BONDAGE OF NOT KNOWING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. IT IS THE MAJORITY OF THE RAKYAT YOU ALWAYS CARED FOR – THIS IS YOUR WAY, TUN ! It is the RIGHT WAY ! Keep smiling !

142. Tun

     Whilst I was commenting on Turkey, it suddenly dawned on me that our Nation’s Airports Berhad was also deeply involved in a Turkish Airport. Recent news reported that there was a shift of operations from the OLD to the NEW ISTANBUL AIRPORT. There was a report sometime ago that Malaysia wanted to sell off its interests in an Istanbul Airport. Now the question arises which AIRPORT DID MALAYSIA REALLY OWN OR SELL ?

     Finally, with so much Malaysian interest in Istanbul and Turkey, our fellow citizens have finally discovered the DELIGHTS OF TURKISH DELIGHT IN THE 21ST CENTURY. Little are they aware that they did not miss anything at all. Or am I wrong ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling !

143. Tun,

     Over the week-end, some eye-catching headlines hit the social media and the Opposition press thus :-

     1. ” LOKE : ECRL TO UNDERGO CHANGE OF ALIGNMENT TO NEGRI ”

     2. ” A TRICKY ‘OPERATION’ FOR IHH ”

     3. ” IHH FACES ROCKY PATH IN INDIA ”

     4. ” FINALLY MALVINDER AND SHIVINDER AT ODDS WITH EACH OTHER ”

     1. My kudos to the Minister of Transport, my favourite Minister in terms of dynamism, efficiency and delivery. He only made one minor slip so far by not permitting his wife to go shopping or sight-seeing in Beijing due to austeriy. This opened him to all sorts of snide remarks from down South.

     However, I applaud that the ECRL will now serve Negri Sembilan instead.

     A State which needs more development. Besides, the original plan to pass through Gombak and the Main Range did not make sense and increased the cost.

     I HOPE THE YB MINISTER OF TRANSPORT INVEIGLE OUT OF HIS FRIENDS THE CHINESE, A FREE ‘HARI RAYA’ ANG POW RAIL CONNECTION FROM SEREMBAN TO PORT DICKSON. This will jazz up the promises made by DSAI in winning that constituency !

     The route is only 25 miles long.

     The Chinese can throw this in FREE FOR FRIENDSHIP SAKE since the LAY-OUT IS THERE AND THE RAILS ARE AVAILABLE WITH KTM ! AND THE CHINESE WOULD HAVE MEN AND MATERIALS FOR THE JOB SINCE THEY WOULD BE FINISHING THE ECRL JOB AT THE NEGRI END.

     YB would be killing two birds with one stone for the Rakyat to bring more business to support DSAI in Port Dickson. Acheh ! Kudos to the Government !

     2, 3 & 4. IHH, IHH, IHH. This IHH will soon bother us like the 1MDB a fellow GLC.

     For years, I have commented that the IHH is a FLAWED MODEL for the reason that whilst the Nation needs many hospitals in an emerging country, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and GLCs were investing billions of ringgits of ‘borrowed’ money in countries which actually do not need any money from Malaysia for their healthcare service because these have plenty of investors of their own.

     HENCE, IHH PAID A HIGH PRICE FOR RISKY HEALTHCARE INVESTMENTS IN TURKEY AND INDIA. The birds will come home to roost sooner rather than later.

     Both countries have unstable forex regimes apart from proper legal governance.

     With IHH, we are NOT TALKING ABOUT PEANUTS BUT BILLIONS OF RINGGITS, THE RAKYAT’S RINGGITS spent to SERVICE THE HEALTH OF FOREIGNERS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH US WHILST OUR RAKYAT SUFFER FOR LACK OF HOSPITAL AND HEALTHCARE AMENITIES.

     THE IHH MODEL IS FLAWED. IT IS A TIME-BOMB WAITING TO EXPLODE – Courtesy of one ex-Opposition Leader.

     Billions and billions of the Rakyat’s ringgits will be lost again.

     For the cognoscenti, THE SINGH BROTHERS PUT UP A SHOW AGAIN as reported in The Star.

     THE BN KHAZANAH AND THE IHH MANAGEMENT KNOW THEM LIKE THE BACK OF THEIR HANDS ARISING FROM A BAKSHEESH PAYMENT OF S$ 150 Million to the Singh Brothers out of a Singaporean caper not too long ago.

     THIS PRESENT IHH CAPER IS MORE COMPLICATED THAN AN INDIAN ROPE TRICK. It is something like a SINGAPOREAN CHINESE POTEMKIN FAKE WITH ELEMENTS OF A SINGAPOREAN CHINESE PONZI SCHEME AS THE AUDITORES NOW QUALIFY AND CONFIRM as alleged in reports all over.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. OTHER PEOPLE’S CASH IS KING, TUN ?

144. Tun

     Even on a Sunday, my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree did not rest or stop their chirping and singing as I could hear them from my house. The fauna carry on with their lives regardless unlike us quarrelsome Humankind.

     This quiet Sunday morning brought my mind to some quiet thoughts to ponder upon. Ethereal issues which should not have seen the light of the day until at some appropriate moment in the future, near or far.

     I am referring to some of the Policy U-turns of the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great.

     But before I say anything more, I like to let all and sundry know that since 1954, I am a conventional Constitutionalist who will always support the incumbent Government. I am not a racist or a religious zealot because my profession makes me so. With these remarks, I seek the permission of the Tun and all to make my remarks as follows :-

     The New and Incorruptible Government as led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side was elected because of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites which ruled the Rakyat for 18 years – 2004-2018.

     The corrupt BN Government did not produce Policies which provide jobs, food on the table and all the goodies expected of them to the proletariat at the bottom.

     Therefore the Rakyat expect the New and Incorruptible Government would do the needful and provide the essentials of jobs, food on the table, low cost of living etc as soon as possible.

     The Rakyat do not expect ‘magic shows’ to show how clever the YB Ministers are or to go for airy-fairy projects of no consequence like toy planes, nursery in the Dewan Rakyat or PH.D standards for young students or change the Education Policy overnight to make the majority of the students to jump 6′ when they could only jump 4′. This is not EDUCATION per se but MASOCHISTIC MENTAL TORTURE IMPOSED BY THE MINISTER. Nowadays, the World’s educationists promote education for ALL, not for the top 1%. AND NO STUDENT IS PERMITTED TO FAIL AN EXAMINATION UNLIKE THE OLD DAYS OF 70 YEARS AGO.

     And as I see it with all due respect, Tun, here was what happened at the top of the pile for the past 11 months :-

     1. The job of cleaning out the mess out of the Augean Stables was correct. But as it could be discerned only one or two of the YB Ministers were capable of doing so eg. Ministers of Defence, Finance, Transport, Culture & Sports, Labour, Information etc. Some of the announcements made by the neophytes made me blushed and cringed as though us the Rakyat are stupid.

     2. The focus on the stabilisation and rectification of the whole Financial System was correct. But the SECURITY FOR THE RAKYAT NEEDS UP-GRADING !

     3. The declared Abolishment of all Monopolies seemed to be lost somewhere on the Way to Putrajaya.

     Monopolies like MyEg. Pharmniaga, Bernas etc were only mentioned briefly by the YB Minister a few days ago.

     BUT THE WORST MONOPOLY IS THE MONOPOLISTIC CORRUPT ARCHAIC AND USELESS DISCOUNT HOUSE SYSTEM which increases the cost of banking for the Rakyat. No country in the World used it for over 50 years. It is alleged that the BNM Managers in charge of interest rates were bought up by a major Discount House since the mid-1970s – the longest Corruption in Malaysia if not the World. It is owned by a very few. Abolish this Monopolistic Corrupt Archaic and Useless Discount House System !

     4. The Rakyat expect jobs, food on the table, low cost of living, and other goodies which they were accustomed to before 2004. They should be able to see improvements by now.

     But what the Rakyat saw WERE THE INCONGRUOUS AND CONTROVERSIAL POLICIES LIKE THE ROME STATUTE, TPPA/CPTPP-the Malaysia/Malays Killer (Now promoted by the Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Trade. The Leader of his Party opposed it not too long ago) ABOISH THE DEATH PENALTY IN TOTAL, LGBT, CONSTITUTIONAL REFORMS ETC ISSUES WHICH ARE FOREIGN INSPIRED AND PUSHED BY ONE MAN OR ONE WOMAN NGOs through digits in the Cabinet. ALL THESE FOREIGN INSPIRED POLICIES SHOULD BE AVOIDED FOR THE TIME BEING BY THE NASCENT CABINET UNTIL A LATER DATE AS THESE ARE NOT BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES BUT CONTROVERSIAL. The Rakyat’s needs are more important than pushing FOREIGN AGENDAS.

     5. Therefore, with all due respect Tun, the Government’s Focus should be on RIGHTING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES eg.

     i) Cleaning and stabilizing the financial and bureaucratic mess left by the BN Government.

     ii) UP-DATING THE LAWS OF MALAYSIA WHICH ARE NEGLECTED UNLIKE SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA BECAUSE A NATION DEPENDS ON THE UP-DATED LAWS TO LIVE, SURVIVE AND PROGRESS.

     Every legal case is different unlike the practice of Medicine.

     I CAN DISCERN THAT THERE IS NOT A QUALIFIED LAWYER IN THE CABINET.

     For example, a) the Trustees Act 1949 was never revised to bring it up to date for 70 years ! In Singapore, Hong Kong, Britain and Australia the Trustee Act is of paramount importance and brought right up to-date. It is an important Act under any circumstances.

     b) The Bankruptcy Act 1967 was NEVER revised by the incompetent and inefficient BN Minister of Law. In fact, this person created TWO BANKRUPTCY ACTS 1967 origin and 2017. The former has all the incarcerated 500,000 bankrupts. The latter has NO BANKRUPTS IN OCTOBER 2017. This FAUX PAS HAS TO BE RECTIFIFED SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

     Quote today’s The Star, ” MIDDLE CLASS MALADY- The economic (and political) future of the country looks SCARY and its young bankrupts (300,000) and imminent retirees are not attended to soon, WE COULD BE IN FOR TRULY TOGHT TIMES.”

     I dare say this pundit’s comment is an UNDERSTATEMENT because the incumbent Government WILL HAVE 500,000 URBAN VOTES IF NOT MORE VOTES AGAINST IT BY 2023 if the Bankruptcy Act of 1967 and 2017 are not BROUGHT UP TO DATE LIKE THAT OF SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA. It is alleged that the BN Minister was influenced by financial interests which dare not do this in Singapore, Hong Kong, Britain and Australia. Vide. The Star. Letter to the Editor, 25 June 2018.

     iii) The fault in the recovery of the general economy arose not only from the HUGE SUMS OF MONEY SUCKED OUT OF THE SYSTEM BY THE CORRUPT BN GOVERNMENT BUT ALSO ARE STUCK IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

     It is understandable why the Government is cautious in stimulating this industry through the banks which are probably up to their eye-balls in financing construction due to CORRUPTION BY THE BN GOVERNMENT 2004-2018. The sooner the Construction Industry is revived the better because without this cornerstone of Malaysia’s economy THE BURSA CANNOT BE ROBUST AND MOVE UPWARDS !

     Therefore, Tun, NORMAL ISSUES NEED TO BE DEALT WITH BY THE CABINET FIRST like the financial and bureaucratic mess, up-dating and rectify the neglected and un-revised essential Laws of the land and JOBS FOOD ON THE TABLE AND GOODIES FOR THE RAKYAT.

     Do not fall into the trap of SERVING FOREIGN INTERESTS PUSHED BY ONE-MAN OR WOMAN NGOs through digits in the Cabinet which WILL CAUSE CONTROVERSIES OF NO VALUE TO ANYONE.

     The Foreign interests are “ALL OUT ABOLISHMENT OF THE DEATH PENALTY”, “TPPA/CPTPP- the Malaysia /Malays Killer now promoted by the Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Trade”,” Rome Statute”, “LGBT”, “Reform the Constitution”, etc. These are of NO PRIORITY and should be placed in the BACK-BURNER.

     OUR RAKYAT’S INTEREST COME FIRST !

     IF JOBS, FOOD ON THE TABLE, A LOW COST OF LIVING AND GOODIES ARE SEEN TO BENEFIT THE RAKYAT, MOST CONTROVERSIES SHOULD DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT INCLUDING NAMES CALLING TOO, TUN !

     Foreign political agendas and philosophies NEVER RANK HIGH IN THE MINDS, HEARTS AND STOMACHS OF THE RAKYAT – its the jobs, the food on the table and the goodies which count.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem AS LONG AS THE CABINET IS NOT MISLED BY NEOPHYTES PUSHING FOREIGN AGENDAS. It’s the jobs, food on the table and the goodies which count and you have always been concerned with for a Life-time, Tun !

145. Tun

     Finally we are in the month of April and soon it will the 1st Anniversary of the Fall of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites – 12 months of fresh air and sunshine in a what used to be a happy and care-free land inhabited by the Rakyat who had always put their trust in their elected BN Leadership since Merdeka in 1957.

     Their believe in a good life came to an end from 2004-2018 when CASH IS KING REARED ITS UGLY HEAD. The problem was that the CASH did not go to the Rakyat but into the pockets of the BN Leadership and their corrupt elites. Now the Rakyat suffer for the trust misplaced in them.

     In passing my friends the chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree are still with me waking up at 6.52 a.m. this morning. And the headlines as created by me, thus.

     1. My grand-daughter had the following grades from her 1st Examination in March of this year at her favourite SMK.

     1. Geography – 97 marks
     2. English – 92
     3. Mathematics – 86
     4 Science – 82
     5. RBT – 77
     6. Bahasa – 48 In a class of 32, the highest marks, 3 Malays and 1 Chinese scored 51 marks, no one gained 50 or 49. The lowest score was 8 marks !

     According to my grand-daughter, the results were due to the NEW FORMAT produced by the Ministry of Education. Such lowly results did not occur for her Bahasa Melayu studies in the SMK from Primary to Tingkat 2 in 2018. This is the first time.

     I believe that the Minister should realise that education is for the Majority not for the top 1% or the bottom 1%. It is pointless to force the students to jump 6′ when the majority can only jump 4′.

     It is common sense and most important of all, EXAMINATIONS LIKE THIS BAHASA MELAYU WILL CAUSE MENTAL BREAKDOWNS AND LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AMONGST THE MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS.

     Like this, eventually NO ONE WILL SUCCEED. It is not fair to experiment or foist young students SUDDENLY WITH NEW FORMATS. This sort of practice will ruin all the foundations which the MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS ALREADY HAVE. Common sense dictates.

     Hence, my grand-daughter’s examination results are self-explanatory.

     Also, the 6 classes of her year total 180 of which according to the results ONLY 24 PASSED BAHASA MELAYU UNDER THE NEW FORMAT !

     Were the pupils asked questions which the answers were not taught to them ? SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE TUN ! It does not pay to fool around young students.

     2. ‘ THE MINISTER SAID THERE WILL BE NO REVISION OF THE BANKRUPTCY ACT. ”

     The YB was answering a Parliamentary question posed in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday. He glibly read out Sections 33a, 33b and 33c of the Bankruptcy Act WHICH WERE NEVER REVISED AND JUST COPIES OF THE OLD SECTIONS FROM THE OLD BANKRUPTCY ACT ! He concluded that these old Sections of 33a, 33b, and 33c are sufficient for the Act.

     It is very clear that the YB treated the FAKE BN REVISED BANKRUPTCY ACT OCTOBER 2017 WITHOUT ANY SERIOUSNESS AND BRUSHED IT ASIDE WITHOUT ANY IN DEPTH STUDY OF THE EXISTING ACT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES. Maybe other legal issues of NO IMPORTANCE ARE MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM FROM SABAH.

     The facts are that there have been many complaints including “The Star”- Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018 that the so-called Revised Act is not a true or real revised Act and the existing 500,000 bankrupts with over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and other young bankrupts ARE STILL INCARCERATED BY THE UNREVISED BANKRUPT ACT because by attaching the new Act of 2017 to the old Act of 1967, TWO BANKRUPTCY ACTS ARE CREATED.

     The Old Act with the 500,000 bankrupts and the New Act which began in October 2017 WITH NO BANKRUPTS.

     In practice, IT IS ALLEGED THAT THE INSOLVENCY DEPT. ONLY HOLDS ONE MEETING A YEAR TO DISCHARGE BANKRUPTSFROM A LIST OF 500,000 bankrupts ! Believe it or not, Tun ?

     Also,it is alleged that financial interests influenced the BN incompetent and inefficient Minister of Law. But they dare not do so in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

     IT IS SURPRISING THAT THE MINISTER OF LAW IS LIKE THE BN MINISTER OF LAW. If nothing is done to RECTIFY THE BANKURPTCY ACT 2017, THERE WILL BE MORE THAN 500,000 URBAN VOTES TO VOTE AGAINST THE INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT IN 2023 !

     Tun, it seems to me that certain Ministers are letting down the New and Incorruptible Government at the LEADING EDGE OF PUBLIC POLICIES which is where the Rakyat feel the brunt of the Government Minister’s decisions. This is where Governments fall.

     I sincerely hope that ALL THE MINISTERS PUT THEIR PRIORITIES RIGHT AND NOT FANCY THEIR OWN FANTASIES IN DEALING WITH THE RAKYAT.

     The above-mentioned instances are more than self-explanatory.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. At the rate, the Ministers are performing at the LEADING EDGE OF PUBLIC POLICIES, they are only WEAKENING THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT ALL ROUND as the above-mentioned incidents confirmed.

     NO GOODIES FOR THE RAKYAT ! Pour le vouz YB Ministers ? What had happened was what brought down the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 ! Remember ?

146. Tun

     With the paucity of interesting headlines during these recent days, even my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree are tired with boredom. They began to chirp and sing at 6.52 a.m. this morning but ran out of steam about 15 minutes later. There seemed to be no stimulus to urge them on. By then, the Sun rose to set another day for birds and Humankind.

     And the uninteresting headlines this morning thus :-

     1. ” Nurul Izzah calls for standardised prison hygiene. ”

     2. ” IHH LOSES ALMOST US$ 800M IN MART VALUE AS HEADACHES MOUNT ”

     3. ” MONOPOLY WATCH ”

     4. ” ATHLETES VERSUS OCM ”

     5. ” PM LAMENTS WHY SO MUCH MONEY SPENT ON WEAPONS RESEARCH ”

     1. The good YB disappeared after her resignation from PAC and expressed her frustration by calling names and stabbing backs down in Singapore of all places. She is now back in PAC according to her principles.

     But strangely, her contribution in the National Interest was her comment that the Nation’s jails toilets should be standardised and hygienic. How many of us ever visit a prison’s toilet least of all the prison. HERE IS WHAT THE YB SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED ! Not the toilets/tandss.

     1. ALL DRUG ADDICTS SHOULD BE SEPARATED FROM THE CONVICTED CONVICTS.
     2. THE YOUNG DRUG ADDICTS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE UNUSED N.S. CAMPS FOR REHABILITATION.
     3. THE OLDER DRUG ADDICTS ARE SEPARATED FROM THE YOUNG ADDICTS.
     4. THE PRISONS SHOULD BE PRIVATISED, THOSE FOR DRUG ADDICTS TO BE SEPARATED FROM THE REAL CONVICTS.
     5. NEW AND BETTER PRISONS TO BE BUILT FURTHER AWAY FROM TOWNS PREFERABLY IN A PLANTATION OR AREAS WHICH ARE REMOTE.
     6. THE VACATED PRISONS TO BE TURNED INTO COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

     Strange, the YB saw only the tandas and could not see the wood from the trees.

     2. The IHH Scandal is fast looming. There is no running away from it by those who were responsible and involved. The Devil will take the hindmost. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 6 strokes of the rotan

     3. ‘Monopoly Watch’ glared at me in all its big lettering in The Star’s Business page this morning.

     Monopolies like Pharmaniaga, Bernas, Puspakom, MyEG Services Berhad were mentioned by the YB Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs.

     But the biggest MONOPOLISTIC CULPRTI MUST BE THE DISCOUNT HOUSE SYSTEM WHICH IS EMBEDDED IN THE BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA SYSTEM SINCE THE 1970s !

     Abolish the Monopolistic Corrupt Archaic and Useless Discount House System which adds on to the cost of banking for the Rakyat. No country used it for over 50 years. It is alleged that the Bank Negara Managers in charge of interest rates were bought up by a major Discount House since the mid-1970s – the longest Corruption in Malaysia if not the World. Abolish the Monopolistic Corrupt Archaic and Useless Discount House System owned by a very few.

     4. ” ATHLETES VERSUS OCM “. It is time for YB SADDIQ to clean out the OCM Augean Stables which have become an obstacle to the good development of sportsmen and women.

     For decades, the OCM was ineffective and incompetent since the time of our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak who chaired the OCM himself. YB SADDIQ should do the same.

     Because the OCM sat on its backsides for decades and did not make any effort to get SQUASH recognised by the Olympics (even MOGULs were recognised), our beloved Malaysia lost at least 4 Gold Medals and many Silver and Bronze as well.

     Our Dato Nicole was let down by the OCM which is the only National Body TO FURTHER THE SPORTING INTERESTS OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.

     OCM was so incompetent and inefficient that at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the OCM Chairman of Malaysia fumbled and could not open the key to the Games to the amusement of all.

     IT IS TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE OCM AND REPLACE IT WITH YB SADDIQ AND SPORTSMEN AND WOMEN WHO KNOW THE JOB AND NOT SOME WHO ONLY ENJOY TRAVELLING TO THE TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020 PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT.

     5. IS IT FAKE NEWS ? Our beloved PM laments that so much money was spent on arms or weapons research in our beloved Malaysia which does not manufacture arms and is not in the arms trade.

     Is this a fake Opposition joke or is it FOR REAL ?

     IS THIS BELESSED BY THE SAME YB MINISTER WHO LOVES TOY PLANES AND RADIOACTIVE RUBBISH FROM OZ ?

     When our Rakyat find it hard to put food on the table for their loved ones, we have absurd situations and Public money to play with toy guns, toy planes and radioactive rubbish !

     NOT ONLY THAT, AN ENNOBLED YB LOUDLY EXPRESSED HIS OPINION THAT A THIEF IS ONLY A THIEF IF HE OR SHE IS CAUGHT ! I wonder what the Rest of the World think about THIS GEM OF A COMMENT BY A ENNOBLED YB MALAYSIAN OF GOOD STANDING !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. In Malaysia, we must always expect the unexpected !

147. Tun

     Another morning full of expectations of the First Trial of a Prime Minister of Malaysia who is the son of a Great Prime Minister of Malaysia for 7 charges of CBT etc. Who would not get excited ? We thought such a thing can only happen in South Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan and Brazil ! But lo and behold ! We are now face with the prospect of malfeasance by a Malaysian Prime Minister with an apparently impeccable background who was groomed to lead when young. Man proposes. God disposes.

     There is a shortage of eye-catching headlines this morning, thus :-

     1. ” IHH DOWNTREND CONTINUES ”

     2. ” IHH HEALTHCARE SERVED WITH QUALIFIED OPINION ”

     For years I have commented that the IHH Model is FLAWED for the following reasons :-

     i) IHH investments in Turkey, Hong Kong, China and India were risky especially in Turkey and India. These places are famous for reasons best known to themselves.
     ii) The Singh Brothers were involved in a Khazanah-Singapore caper in which Khazanah paid out a hefty sum like RM 150 million.
     iii) The Singh Brothers were involved in the multi-billion ringgits caper known as Fortis in India.
     iv) In 2010 or thereabouts, Turkey was in turmoil. Yet IHH rushed in with eager hands to bail out the grateful Turks who were rushing out !. Stupid.
     v) Why invest RM 2.4 Billion in Fortis when it is in financial trouble and being investigated by the Indian authorities ?
     vi) The person in charge of IHH is not qualified to do M & A across international borders.
     vii) My friend the richest Muslim in India told me the GENERIC DRUGS HAVE NO PRICE. Thus, he made a fortune from his generic drugs business in India.
     viii) Why should a fellow be paid RM 100 MILLION SALARY a year if the IHH BUSINESS IS THAT GOOD ? LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE IS BAILING OUT IN A HURRY ?
     ix) CROSS-BORDER BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS BY DIGITS ESPECIALLY FOREIGN ONES UNDER NO CONTROL ARE ALWAYS SUSPICIOUS !
     x) COMPLICATED MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND AND TO GLEAN INFORMATION ARE ALSO SUSPICIOUS.
     xi) THE GHOSN, DATSUN AND RENAULT CAPER IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE LIKE IHH.

     ANOTHER BIG SCANDAL IS LOOMING TUN ? Looks like IHH investment in Turkey is a COMPLETE WRITE-OFF because in a few weeks time, a debt of US$ 250 Million will have to be paid for the Turkey operation ! And our beloved Malaysia is suckered of RM 2.4 Billion in the ailing Fortis of India which is under investigation by the Indian authorities.

     ANOTHER FINE EXAMPLE OF ADMINISTRATING A COUNTRY WITHOUT A MINISTER OF FINANCE 2004-2018 ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

148. Tun

     I will draw the attention of all to a subject which I cherished for a very long time. This subject is best illustrated by the following headlines thus :-

     1. ” CHANGES TO WILDLIFE ACT BEING MULLED ”

     2. ” EUTHANISED BEAR NOT THE ONLY ONE KEPT IN POOR CONDITIONS ”

     I have always had a fondness for animals wild or domesticated. At one stage even though I had 7 guns, I refused to take part in hunting flying foxes or snipes.

     It abhors me that our zoos have not been kept up to international standards for a long time. In fact, my view is that we should get rid of all the zoos and release the animals back to the wild.

     In recent years, our beloved Malaysia became a cross-roads of illicit traffic in wild birds and animals due to the lax enforcement of our Laws and corruption.

     If we voted to put the New and Incorruptible Government into POWER to rule over the Rakyat fairly and justly, we should also take care of the caged wild animals under our care. I have noted that this function is left to private organisations and individuals which may not be the best guardians of the hapless wild animals under their care.

     Many years ago, the employees of my Taiping factory caught a huge python. We presented it to the Taiping Zoo. To my horror, a few weeks later, the python was missing probably it was sold due to corruption.

     It is instances like this which I believe the Government should now introduce measures to protect the hapless wild fauna which inhabit our land to safeguard them for our future generations and bring ourselves up to the international standards in keeping with such activities. This area has been neglected for too long due to the lack of Vision and Corruption.

     As we can see now that Corruption rears its ugly head everywhere once the Leadership is corrupt.

     It is well and good to have properly administered zoos. But we must be responsible to ensure that the caged wild animals are properly fed and safe-guarded. If this could not be done, it is better to release these animals back to the wild where they rightfully belong.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

149. Tun

     I always said to myself at the beginning of the week that soon it will be week-end ! But we human beings with a sense of everything can determine our future. Unlike my feather bulbul friends which began to chirp and sing only when the Sun rises or perchance I unlatched the front door. Indeed, they began chirping and singing at 6.52 a.m. this morning. I wonder when my friends are going to leave me !

     And the significant headline this morning, thus :-

     ” PM GIVES LESSON ON VALUES ”

     Malaysia may be the only country in the World that a PM gives “Lesson on Values”. And how many Malaysians are aware that our good Tun is qualified to do so ?

     After the end of World War 2, Malaya was a desolate place where all facilities like schools, hospitals etc were tumbled-down and at zero base.

     It was against this back-drop that our Tun was inspired to be a pre-medical student in a derelict environment which lacked the proper educational facilities for higher education. Yet, he managed to travel a long distance in those days to the famous King Edward Vii Medical College, Singapore to satisfy his life-long ambition and desire to succour the poor and the needy.

     THIS WAS HIS CHARACTER IN HIS YOUTH. He had the Will to do good and care for others unlike those who surrounded him in later life from molly-coddled backgrounds. In other words, against all odds, our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad began Life with nothing and yet he succeeded against all odds.

     From his success in his medical studies in an entirely different environment from his hometown in North Malaya, he pursued his dream after graduation but the spark of Malay Nationalism fired him to do greater things than medical assistance for the Rakyat.

     His ambition was to mount to the highest level of human endeavour in any country which was Politics.

     He could not envisage that he would be the Prime Minister of Malays/Malaysia, TWICE IN HIS LIFETIME.

     This was the Man. This was his CHARACTER.

     No Cash is King which abhors him or any other doctor ! His focus is TO HELP ALL THE RAKYAT OF OUR BELOVED MALAYA/MALAYSIA TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY as he progressively marched along the stony path of Malayan/Malaysian Politics to the sound of his own drums.

     He succeeded gloriously in the face of all sorts of obstacles, troublemakers, naysayers and detractors who poured the finest quality of vitriol on him. They soon learnt to their cost how strong in mind, body and spirit our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has !

     And his SUCCESS IN MEDICINE AND POLITICS was based on his firm beliefs in the age-old virtues of propriety, integrity, trustworthiness. loyalty, filial piety, standards, ethics, and honour which are backed by determination, discipline and hard-work coupled by the MOTIVATION TO DO GOOD FOR ALL THE RAKYAT WITHIN HIS POWER AS THE PRIME MINISTER.

     Who is better qualified than our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ? Cash is King abhors him as with his colleagues the doctors.

     Finally, our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad whom the Family did not want him to be in Politics again after 2003, took up the task of cleaning the Augean Stables left behind by two Fake Prime Ministers 2004-2018.

     This Darkest or Fake Period of our beloved Malaysia cost the Rakyat dear.

     All the sweat, blood and toil of the decades of the Leadership of the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Huseein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad were wasted and gone.

     This wanton Leadership during 2004-2018 of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites can only be recorded in History as Leadership by Fakes which did not believe in the VIRTUES expressed by the good Tun.

     Let this be a lesson to all the Rakyat that CASH IS KING DOES NOT PAY ONLY VIRTUES !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

150. Tun

     School for my grand-daughter began in earnest again on this Monday morning. No Monday blues for her or me as both of us are clear about our missions before us.

     Lo and Behold ! As I opened the front door at 6.52 a.m. the pair of resident bulbuls began to chirp in their nest in the young banyan tree. Less singing these days but more chirping. I wonder if the young have arrived.

     On to the more interesting themes of the day arising from our colourful and voluble politicians – some are just plain awkward, some try to please and be nice. But all did not pass any examination to be a politician, a Malaysian politician. Let us be guided by the headlines made by them thus :-

     1. ” DR M AMAZED AT FACTORY’S SLICK OP.”

     2, ” WEST COAST EXPRESSWAY TO EASE TRAFFIC ”

     3. ” GOVT REVIEWS 121 DEALS, SAVES RM 806M ”

     4. ” THIRD LINK BETWEEN SINGAPORE AND MALAYSIA NEED NOT BE A BRIDGE ”

     5. ” COMMITTEE TO MEET TO DECIDE ON WET MARKETS ”

     6. ” SAYS IT COMPLIES WITH RELEVANT REGULATIONS, LYNAS REFUTES FAUZIAH’S CLAIM ”

     1. The brand new pineapple juice factory in Kedah is a fine example of Malay enterprise and endeavour. Our good Tun is actually an expert at this because he was once in charge of FIMA in the late 1970s with the distinguished Tan Sri Basir Ismail as his right hand man in Johor. Shades of the US$ 5 Million Stradivarius collector – the closest aide now in Singapore !

     It is good there are examples of turning our agricultural produce into internationally marketable products with higher values.. The other products which come to mind are tomato, guava, ginger, corn and a wide range of vegetable products. But charity begins at home.

     The New and Incorruptible Government must ensure that entrepreneurs who support our own agricultural products make PROFITS. The latest equipment from Japan, Switzerland, Germany or elsewhere could be leased at lowest rates so as to provide more capital for their success. These include the factory buildings, transport etc.

     It is these small entrepreneurial undertakings in the small towns which provide an effective socio-economic imprint at the lowest level. It is good because a Government can never cover all areas under its rule.

     Such entrepreneurs should not be hampered by the difficulty of raising capital in an honest environment. More and more of this class of entrepreneurs should be encouraged as the Policy to safeguard the rural inhabitants and their environment.

     The Kedah pineapple juice factory is a good Model for all the States. Instead of spending RM 1 Million on a toy plane, RM 1 Million in a SME goes a long way in socio-economic terms.

     Today, in the social media, I saw two flying vehicles which cost only US$ 20,000 each, not RM 1 Million or RM 500,000 !

     2. ” WEST COAST EXPRESSWAY TO EASE TRAFFIC ”

     This mega project was first mooted by my friend more than 16 years ago. I was aware of his constant and strenuous attempts to get this essential Public Project off the ground. His efforts were mired by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites and to make it worse, even the red bureaucratic tape was corrupt.

     THIS WEST COAST EXPRESSWAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN OPERATION IN 2008 not 2019 with increased costs and time consuming delays. In the meantime, an ultra-expensive MRT was built in Kuala Lumpur which serves only 100,000 commuters daily if any ! So much time and money wasted through CORRUPTION !

     3. Kudos to the Minister of Finance for recouping the padded money from the Government Contracts for the Rakyat.

     In other words, EVERY GOVERNMENT CONTRACT BETWEEN 2004-2018 WAS PADDED. This was how money was stolen from the Government coffers in broad daylight and siphoned out of the country. CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT. 6 STROKES OF THE ROTAN.

     What about the GLCs ? Turkey is a country now undergoing financial difficulties which were known to happen as long ago as 2010 when IHH stepped in with eager hands to take-over from the grateful Turks.

     4. There is no necessity to build a Third Link if the Straits between the old Causeway and Tuas is filled up and the border becomes just a monsoon drain with a chain-link fence.

     Wealth is created from the reclaimed land together with a water reservoir in between. Every morning we can greet our neighbours across ,” Selamat Pagi, Singapura ”

     5. A YB suggested to set up a Committee to decide on the wet-markets owned by foreigners.

     What a waste of time and money amongst the YBs drinking kopi-O !

     Whoever is in charge probably DBKL and the other Municipalities with the Rules and Regulations, should be instructed to get these foreigners arrested and deported. And tender out these wet markets fairly and justly. ANOTHER CORRUPT SYMPTOM OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES 2004-2018 !

     6. The Lynas Management must have thought it was smart and a cinch that they found our beloved Malaysia and its lax ways of enforcement of the Laws.

     THEY WERE TRULY AND PROPERLY CAUGHT BY MY ANALOGY – Unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan which have only ONE DOOR to enter, Malaysia has 10 doors. When a foreigner enters a door, there stood behind a friendly and hospitable Malaysian who answered with a smile when asked, ‘ NO PROBLEM ‘. This was when the PROBLEM BEGAN. The difficulty was to find the right door to enter ! Sorry Lynas ! WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

     Hopefully, our beloved Malaysia becomes a ONE DOOR country again under the 60 year rule of the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

151. Tun

     Today is a typical Malaysian week-end of peace and calm.

     For some, it is a time to catch up with the reading. And others to take their families out to the malls for a stroll and makan in their short pants and slippers.

     But our present lives could be better, much better if the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites had not permitted the Nation’s financial resources to run wild to the extent of zooming the debts up to RM ONE TRILLION from about RM 300 Billion in 2003 !

     This period should be known as THE FAKE PERIOD OF MALAYSIA 2004-2018.

     Why ? Malaysia is not a developed country which needs forward planning and safe-guarding of its precious human and natural resources always. This can only be achieved by proper and NORMAL rules of governance. Like a factory manufacturing products for export, there should be no leaks of money or undue waste anywhere because the cost of the product will either kill the golden goose or makes it a success.

     WHY ARE ALL THE MONOPOLISTIC AGENCIES OF THE BN GOVERNMENT LOSE MONEY LIKE TNB, TELEKOM, MAS ETC ? It was the digits in POWER were involved up to their necks in CORRUPTION !

     And the headlines of the Opposition media today, thus :-

     1. ” DR M SAYS HE’S PM IN A HURRY ” – a mischievous headline

     2. ” NO CABINET RE-SHUFFLE, NEW MINISTERS NEED EXPERIENCE ”

     3. ” SORRY SINGAPORE : MALAYSIA DUMP ASSETS TO COPE WITH US$245 BILLION DEBT.”

     4. ” TOTAL HOUSEHOLD DEBT IN MALAYSIA ”

     5. ” YAWNING CHASM BETWEEN GLC AND NON-GLC BANK CEOs ”

     6. ” SAVING GEORGE TOWN’S CHARM ”

     All the headlines came from the Opposition media except for one from the SCMP.

     1. The spinning of the actual words uttered by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as published in different Opposition media can only be described as creative and innovative.

     All doctors are trained from day one in the first term the meaning of Life and how to save Life to the best of their ability. Those who could not stomach the first day of the first term became dentists.

     Throughout Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s career the heavy hallmarks of a brilliant and well-trained doctor could be discerned in his Policies, speeches and political practice based on facts, logic and common sense. The distinctive brand of his politics is that HE DID NOT IMPLEMENT POLICIES WHICH HARM ANYONE.

     His conscience is as clear as crystal in this aspect unlike Lee Kuan Yew with his 1972 2 Child Family Policy, the Thaksin Purchase etc. Vide. http://www.chedet,cc.org Archives September 2010 ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’.

     Tun’s greatest trait is his humbleness. HE NEVER BOASTED ABOUT HIS ACHIEVEMENTS ANYWHERE UNLIKE LEE KUAN YEW.

     The closest aides created ALL the scandals by crossing the red line of no return so that they lined their pockets and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad took the blame. I should know because I was the first and did not cross the red line of no return. There was no scandal. No one knew me which suited me fine.

     One closest foreign aide not only boasted in mid-1980s that he had the ears of the good and the great of KL to Dr Goh Keng Swee, DPM of Singapore in front of my cousin in the Singapore Island Golf Club but also used the name of his patron to further his corrupt and crooked agenda.

     In 1982, he carried the Samsonite of the capable and distinguished Tan Sri Basir Ismail but at the end he owned a bank and collected Stradivarius violins at US$ 5 Million a piece which he on-lent to the Singapore or Shanghai Philharmonic but not to the KL Philharmonic.

     Believe it or not, this foreigner even kicked out his Patron’s friend from Cycle & Carriage Ltd so that he could sell the best assets cheap to his tycoon friends in KL and HK who were also my friends, stupid !

     How many Malaysians are aware that our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is very strong in mind and body ?

     I am certain he is exceedingly happy to the chagrin of his detractors, naysayers and trouble-makers.

     When a person is happy and satisfied within himself or herself. there is NO FEAR OF WHAT THE FUTURE MAY BRING. Only those who harmed others with a guilty conscience fear the consequences which will confront them as surely as the Sun rises.

     IT IS A NORM FOR HAPPY AND HEALTHY PEOPLE TO LIVE BEYOND 100 YEARS OLD THESE DAYS.

     My sister died recently at 100 years. She was driving a car up to 92 years old.

     I expect our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with his good mind and health will be around for many years to come. Hence, I expect him to be still with the DSAI and the Team as long as they are in POWER for the next 60 years !

     The Secret to have a Good and Long Life like our Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah is to have a NORMAL LIFE which is happy, active and disciplined – not to abuse our privileges whatever these meant ! And we must not forget that our mind and body began to deteriorate at the age of 30 onwards. So when the detractors, naysayers and the trouble-makers made their snide remarks, they were already on the road to their Destiny ! Also, they would have realised by now that pouring the finest quality vitriol on Tun has no effect at all. Circa 2004-2015.

     2. Yes, you are correct in permitting the Ministers to learn on the job. It is better to have an honest but inexperienced Minister than a crooked and experienced Minister.

     3. IT IS THE CORRECT POLICY TO SELL ALL THE FIXED ASSETS OVERSEAS like the ex-Gammon House, Hong Kong, the Singapore 1/2 Office Building, the offices of the Tourist Board in London, etc. the Battersea Power Station Development, all property assets overseas in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore etc.

     It was absurd for Sime Darby to own properties in Liberia, fake offices all over, and the Solomon Islands, etc. Turkey has been grappling with her financial problems since 2009 when the eager Malaysians took over from the grateful Turks ! The commissions must have made it very worthwhile to risk the Rakyat’s hard-earned money. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 3 strokes of the rotan !

     By disposing of the useless overseas assets owned by the Government through the GLCs Sime Darby, FELDA, MARA etc, BNM can have another US$ 10 Billion in the reserves !

     4. The total household debt in Malaysia was created by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites between 2004-2018 WHEN THERE WAS NO MINISTER OF FINANCE !

     How to govern a country of 31 million without a MINISTER OF FINANCE ? No where in the World’s history has this ever happened. WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

     To compound this horrible fact, the ineffective BN Minister of Law created 2 BANKRUPTCY LAWS INSTEAD OF ONE. The old Bankruptcy Act 1967 was not revised but only a new Act of October 2017 was attached to it.

     This new Act had NO BANKRUPTS BEGINNING OCTOBER 2017 BECAUSE ALL THE BANKRUPTS INCLUDING 200,000 YOUNG MALAY BANKRUPTS AND ANOTHER OVER 200,000 BANKRUPTS ARE INCARCERATED IN THE PUNITIVE VICTORIAN STYLE OLD BANKRUPT ACT 1967. Like this the numbers of bankrupts will RISE TO ONE MILLION BANKRUPTS IN JUST 5 YEARS TIME WHO WILL ALWAYS VOTE AGAINST THE INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT IN THE URBAN AREAS ! Think !

     The BOTTLE-NECK is in the old Bankruptcy Act 1967 which was NOT REVISED BUT RE-LABELLED BY THE INEFFECTIVE AND FAKE MINISTER unlike Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia which give the bankrupts a second chance. With these countries all bankrupts are discharged WITHIN 3 YEARS. IN MALAYSIA, BANKRUPTS COULD BE INCARCERATED A LIFE-TIME !

     A good example is the 1982 Marriage Reform Act which accepted ALL the marriages before this date. This is fair and just. Vide. The Star. Letter to the Editor. 25 June 2018.

     5. ” THE YAWNING CHASM BETWEEN GLC AND NON-GLC BANK CEOs.”

     THE FASTEST AND BEST SOLUTION TO THIS SALARY PROBLEM IS TO SELL OFF ALL THE GLCs but only retain control in the essential and vital GLCs. The YAWNING CHASM DISAPPEARS PRONTO.

     i) The democratic and elected Government of the New and Incorruptible Government has no BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT. It is up to the Government to provide the essentials for the Rakyat to produce the profits to be taxed as revenues by the Government.

     No Government should have the POWER and use this POWER to do business to make MONEY. THIS IS COMMUNISTIC ! Only 3 authoritarian countries have GLCs Russia, China and Singapore. There are at least 100 corrupt Chinese from the GLCs on the run overseas.

     ii) THE RINGGIT ONE TRILLION DEBT IS GOVERNMENT DEBTS NOT PRIVATE SECTOR DEBTS. This was because the crooks used the leverage of the Government Public Money to line their pockets under THE PRETEXT OF MAKING MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT. If THIS MONEY IS RETURNED TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, THE ECONOMY WILL BLOOM AND BOOM !

     6. ” SAVING GEORGE TOWN’S CHARM ”

     AS LONG AS THE STATE GOVERNMENT OF PULAU PINANG THINKS PULAU PINANG IS SINGAPORE AND FOLLOW THE LEE KUAN YEW’S MODEL, NOTHING WILL BE ACHIEVED BECAUSE SINGAPORE IS NOT PULAU PINANG !

     There are so many ways to make PULAU PINANG one of the wealthiest States if they THINK HARD ENOUGH. The many MEGA SCHEMES PROPOSED WILL ONLY DESTROY THE HUMAN RESOURCES, THE ENVIRONMENT AND ITS FAMED HERITAGE SITES WITH CONCRETE AND HUGE IRREDEEMABLE LOANS !

     The other way is FAST, CHEAP, NON-POLITICAL AND EASY TO DO WITH THE RIGHT MIND-SET ! And the best of all, THIS OTHER WAY IS THE WIN-WIN SITUATION FOR ALL. TO COPY THE LEE KUAN YEW MODEL OF SINGAPORE IS BOUND TO FAIL FOR PULAU PINANG because it is too POLITICAL AND SADDLED WITH HUGE LOANS WHICH ARE NOT REDEEMABLE !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

152. Tun

     With all due respect and my humble apologies for leaving out the capable, dynamic and honest Minister of Transport from my list of real Ministers in the New and Incorruptible Government. His inadvertent slip was that he did not send his wife to do shopping whilst in Beijing. Little did he realise that the nit-picking Singaporeans would make snide remarks that his wife would follow him right to the official conference table ! To err is human. To forgive is divine !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

153. Tun

     After a restful night and without the task of ferrying my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK with the friendly teachers and pupils, I look forward to comment on our wonderful Malaysian Society which is now full of FAKES as thoughts on these came tumbling out of the deep recesses of my brain. What you famously call ‘MIND-SET’ to your audience who probably were mindfully in the basement whilst you spoke to them on the 88th storey ! Yes ! The mental gap is that big !

     I am sure you have through your observations of decades like myself trained to see and not to look, the FUNNY side of our Malaysian Society eg, the Income Tax Free RM 2 Incorporated places of worship, the Potemkin set-ups of Government offices and even a fake Potemkin steak restaurant in Solaris which was filled with real Civil Servants given free dinner coupons whilst the going was good with the Government’s grant of RM 350 Million to build a cattle empire in tropical Malaysia based on Ponzi Scheme principles. Believe it or not, the steak restaurant was packed full of customers every night ! And the list goes on’. And suddenly, ranking officials of the land were found with fake Ph.Ds why not fake B.A’s or B.Sc’s ? But who can beat those fellows with at least 2 sets of shares of their own listed companies ?

     If you recall, there was a fellow who invoked the fear of Heaven with his pre-dinner spiritual hors d’oeuvres who thought no one knew he had a lush TNB contract in his back pocket. You helped him.

     And further, there was another fellow who was very keen to become a billionaire and in desperation produced a plastic plane which did not fly in Melaka of all places. You helped him.

     Not only that, another fellow with a topi on his head who turned away from me with my outstretched hand at the Bintang Cycle & Carriage launch of the Mercedes E Model in 1984, now claims to be the multi-media king of the World. He would have been still-born if I had given his BBDO portfolio to a Bumiputra who approached me. You helped him.

     Who says there is discrimination in our beloved Malaysia ? Just look at those DIY fellows who began with only marbles in their pockets. We like all Malaysians to be rich Tun ! No problem.

     And the FUNNY side of our Malaysian Society goes on.

     I could only recall that one Minister proposed in the 1990s to spend RM 350 Million to turn the RRI Station in Welwyn Garden City, England into a sports training facility for Malaysian athletes by flying them 7,000 miles to and fro into a cold, damp and grey climate without nasi lemak. There are always 365 days in a year.

     In 2017, this same person misled over 400,000 bankrupts of which over 200,000 were young Malays that the Bankruptcy Act 1967 would be revised. What this person did was just to attach a new Bankruptcy Law to the old Act which resulted in all the bankrupts be incarcerated in a punitive Victorian manner and not given a second chance unlike Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. The new Bankruptcy Act only began from October 2017 WITH NO BANKRUPTS ! It’s another BN Fake.

     In other words, this Minister turned the single Bankruptcy Act 1967 into 2, the old and the new. It was alleged this person was influenced by financial interests to keep the punitive measures in place which they dare not do it in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Vide. The Star Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018. This is really another FUNNY event. Where else but Malaysia ?

     From 2004 to 2018, our beloved Malaysia was hit by “Prime Ministers” unlike the REAL PRIME MINISTERS OF THE TUNKU, TUN ABDUL RAZAK, TUN HUSSEIN ONN AND TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD !

     This was the CASH IS KING PERIOD OF MALAYSIAN POLITICAL FARCE ! No other President or Prime Minister in the World ever said these words in history ! This is another FUNNY side of Malaysia’s growing up saga.

     With the driblets of the FUNNY side of Malaysia’s Leaderships, I noticed the following over the past 10 months from the current Leadership with the exception of Tun, Ministers of Finance, Foreign Affairs, Interior, Defence, Labour, Youths and Sports etc., thus :-

     1. The black shoes caper.
     2. Hotel swimming pools.
     3. Minister demoted himself to Vice-Chancellor
     4. Vice-Chancellor of Maybank-Kim Eng Securities RM 1 billion fame.
     5. More lounges for tired teachers. I noticed there were these lounges in my grand-daughter’s SMKs since 10 years ago.
     6. More perks for teachers without them asking.
     7. Cashless schools of the future means more expenditure.
     8. Train undergraduates in universities how to do business by opening petrol stations in the campus.
     9. Toy plane with KDK fans like engines. Shades of pre-World War II comics of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Cost RM 1 Million too !
     10. New Bill to stop bottom pinching which is as old as Adam and Eve.
     11. Nursery in the Dewan Rakyat. More money required.
     12. A list of 3,000 paedophiles which in time will not be up-dated.
     13. One sleepy eyed YB replied in the LGBT capital of Europe, Berlin that he was not aware of any LGBT in our beloved Malaysia.
     14. Another YB suggested that professional spiritual officers for the sick. Shades of bomohs, Thai style masseurs or physiotherapists of both kinds or the Dutch approach by satisfying the sexual needs of the aged with volunteer sex workers. Any Malaysian volunteers ? Soon we have Institutes or Universities of Bomohs with Ph.Ds !
     15. Abolish the Death Penalty whilst young children are murdered and tons of drugs found regularly. It is better not to put drug addicts in jail.
     16. Back-stabbing a common Malaysian trait.
     17. How to turn Pulau Pinang into a Singapore when Pulau Pinang is not Singapore ?
     18. ‘It will take a long time to correct the System’. It is not the System, Madam ! It was the digits who had the POWER ! Sack the whole lot and do not be misled by FAKE ADVICE TO SAVE THEMSELVES, THE CROOKS !

     You have correctly diagnosed the MALADIES as mentioned above in your kind manner as ‘MIND-SET’. And DSAI put them as issues to be solved in a basic manner which is putting food and jobs on the table of the Rakyat. Anything else as mentioned above is FRIVOLOUS AND IRRELEVANT!

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     But the problem began which China found out to their cost was this which I have mentioned for years. Unlike Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, etc which have only ONE DOOR to enter, our beloved Malaysia has TEN DOORS. When a foreigner enters a door, he would find a friendly Malaysian behind the door who would say “NO PROBLEM” when asked. This is where the problem begins ! EVEN CHINA WAS CAUGHT BY OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S 10 DOORS ANALOGY ! Shades of ECRL, I presume, dear Watson ! so said Sherlock Homes.

154. Tun

     As I began to gather my thoughts to write my comments, I could hear the distant rumble of thunder which foretell the forthcoming storm. True enough, the storm soon reached its intensity over my house. A welcome thunderstorm which we Malaysians are so accustomed to. Water to cool us, water for the birds and the plants and precious Water to sustain our Malaysian Way of Life away from the stealing, cheating and back-stabbing of the political arena. And the interesting headlines are thus :-

     1. ” GOVERNMENT SHOULD NO LONGER BE IN BUSINESS ”

     2. ” BANK NEGARA CALLS FOR CRITICAL LABOUR REFORMS WITH LABOUR UNDERPAID. ”

     3. FT. ” DEMOCRATS SHOULD REMEMBER, ‘ ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID “. As long as growth is happening, voters will tolerate presidential flaws. ”

     1. On the question of why the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites were involved in business, the refrain from them was that the BN Government was making money for the Rakyat.

     This was the most stupid answer of all because no elected Democratic Government in the Western World do business to make money for its people. Only 3 authoritarian countries of the World have GLCs being Singapore, Russia and China.

     The Malaysian version of GLCs have no sound basis but to act as corrupt agents of the corrupt BN Leadership which collapsed after the top became rotten.

     Singapore’s GLCs were just a façade to cover up the Black Under Counter Trades in arms trading and other illicit trades during the Cold War 1948-1989 by Lee Kuan Yew.

     Russia and China found out to their cost after adopting the Singapore Model which flaws these Nations found out too late. The rampant Corruption and Nepotism in the wide open continental landscape of Russia and China. How to control so many crooks spread out over the vast expanse of land ? There were at least 100 corrupt GLC Chinese officials on the run overseas.

     Only in tiny Singapore and under the baleful eyes of Lee Kuan Yew that these recalcitrant could be reined in because in Singapore, a person’s credentials were just a phone call away.

     In any event, it was not the Singaporean GLCs which made the big money. It was the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     With the loss of the 2%-3% from the Black Under Counter Trades, Singapore’s GDP from 2002 to 2017 languished at about 3% unlike the fizzy 7% GDP of the Cold War years.

     Because Lee Kuan Yew realised that the big loss of revenue derived from the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War which was grabbed by the BRICS after Uncle Sam’s hegemonic post-Cold War spiel, ‘ Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’, he conjured his 4 Initiatives as his legacy to save Singapore for his inheeritors being the ill-conceived Temasek, FT imports, 2 casinos and the Malaysia/Malays Killer the TPPA/CPTPP. All failed.

     2. Bank Negara Malaysia is correct in its observation from the facts that Malaysian workers are under-paid.

     There are many underlying factors contributing to this.

     Amongst them are the age-old MONOPOLISTIC CORRUPT ARCHAIC AND USELESS DISCOUNT HOUSE SYSTEM WHICH ADDS TO THE COST OF BANKING FOR THE RAKYAT. No country in the World used this System for over 50 years. It is alleged that the Managers of the Bank Negara Malaysia were bought up by a major Discount House since the mid-1970s which is the longest Corruption in Malaysia if not the World. Abolish the MONOPOLISTIC, CORRUPT, ARCHAIC AND USELESS DISCOUNT HOUSE SYSTEM OWNED BY A VERY FEW.

     3. The FT or Financial Times highlighted the importance of creating growth for the economy even though the President behaved like a clown.

     Hence, it is imperative that the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side should focus and work towards reviving a robust Malaysian Economy so that the goodies will flow down the slippery slopes of the POWER PYRAMID once more to the out-stretched hands of proletariat at the bottom

     From 2004-2018, the goodies were observed to defy gravity by flowing upwards to the Apex to the unhappiness of the proletariat – a period of 14 years of waste and enjoyment by the ruling BN Leadership and its elites who did not know the meaning of the phrase, ‘ IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID !’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Toy planes, nursery in the Dewan Rakyat, no hard drinks in clubs, back-stabbing, abolish the death penalty, a new bill to stop bottom pinching etc WILL NOT MOVE THE ECONOMY. ONLY THE BASIC MOVES WHICH YOU TUN AND YOUR GOOD ADVISER ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW HOW TO MOVE IT ! Let us hope all YBs understand what TEAMWORK IS ALL ABOUT BY NOW SO THAT THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT WILL RULE FOR THE NEXT 60 YEARS AND GROW FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH !

155. Tun

     I have to look high and low for a worthwhile headline which attracted my eye to comment on today despite attempts by the Opposition media to raise or turn minor issues into something important. Such is the present political environment of a stable, correct and good governance New and Incorruptible Government.

     The only 2 headlines of some credence are thus :-

     1. ” JEGA HITS THE JACKPOT WITH 4D.”

     2. ” HEALTH MINISTRY WANTS PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED ‘SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE’ OFFICERS – MINISTER ”

     The first headline is about MERITOCRACY and the second is about a Minister who believes in the art of spiritualism to augment Western medicine. Most pundits thought the YB was referring to Malaysia’s famed bomohs ! Like this, the bomohs will soon demand an Institute or University of their own to be PROFESSIONAL with PhDs to boot !

     Jega is one of the few Malaysians who brought honour, respect and admiration to Malaysia in the 1960s culminating in being the fastest Asian in the New Delhi Asian Games.

     I was privileged to meet his father who was a humble Civil Servant. His son Jega brought the parents much joy and happiness because in those halcyon days, Malaysians did not think of MONEY MONEY MONEY but performed whatever tasks given to them to the best of their ability.

     As I always said that to achieve Glory anywhere in the World, a person should engage in Politics, Sports or Academia. Those interested in making MONEY< MONEY, MONEY in these fields especially in Politics can only end up in dishonour and disaster.

     Jega apparently followed his own version of his iconic success being the 4Ds eg. Direction, Determination, Dedication and Discipline.

     These virtues are as applicable to a good doctor and great sportsman as to some aspiring politicians.

     HE DEFINITELY DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE BLAME GAME AND STICKS KNIVES INTO HIS PEERS BACK TO BLAME THEM FOR HIS OWN MISTAKES OR FAILURES. This holistic trait is the hallmark of a honourable person which achieved much through MERITOCRACY OF HIS OWN MAKING.

     How I wish all Malaysian Politicians today are like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Dr Jega combined as one.

     But in our World of the Living, nothing is perfect unlike Lee Kuan Yew who tried his levelled best using his brains, all the tricks in the book and the resources of the tiny State of Singapore to bend things his way. No matter how hard he tried, he failed because his intentions were never honourable. Man proposes. God disposes.

     As a young and independent country of only 62 years old, our beloved Malaysia is undergoing the very same phases as Britain in the 18th Century and the United States in the 19th Century in terms of political and socio-economic developments. You name it. We have got it in present day Malaysia.

     From the holy holy to the back-stabbers – a kaleidoscope of milling Humanity trying to make good from the rough and tumble melange of pushing, shouting and cursing politicians.

     Little do these fellows are aware what they are doing is just 'Kitchen sink' politics of the worst kind. Only Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI by his side could present a decorum of fine politics as befitting Political Leaders of a country Malaysia which is now one of the 4 small important countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Where are you Singapore ?

     A LEADER IS BORN NOT MADE !

     2. On this debatable subject of professionally trained spiritual guidance officers as expressed by the Minister, what does he really mean by his comment ?

     Was he referring to professionally trained bomohs, masseurs, physiotherapists who proved both services or like in Holland of years ago, sexual services were provide for the aged ON DEMAND !

     Is the YB operating outside his Portfolio which is to provide more affordable hospitals and medical staff to as many as possible ?

     Did he consider the impact of his comment on the other side of the coin which this 'bomoh' thing could be construed as frivolous and jocular in the eyes of the majority ? Like the toy plane and the Dewan Rakyat nursery ?

     Or the YB is trying to be uppish in his own mind and eyes ?

     Whatever it was, the fine example of Malaysia's Dr Jaga is a good example to all and sundry. Meritocracy is recognised through true achievements whether in Politics, Sports or Academia not through cheating, stealing or back-stabbing which are ALL COWARDLY ACTS.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

156. Tun

     There are some significant headlines today which should not be ignored, thus :-

     1. ” IMPROVE WATER SECURITY ”

     2. ” HEATWAVE PUSHING UP SPRITZER SALES ”

     3. ” ACT FAST TO PROMOTE PALM OIL ”

     4. ” ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS NO LONGER MAIN CONSIDERATION FOR SINGAPORE EMPLOYERS. MINISTRY OF MANPOWER, SINGAPORE ”

     1 & 2. The importance of a safe, clean and adequate supply of WATER at all times for our beloved Malaysia should not be questioned or ignored.

     I reckon WATER is the most important of all our natural resources which need to be safeguarded, enhanced and conserve at all times.

     The many incidents of the pollution of our water sources in recent years go to show the lack of policy, vision and will to protect our WATER by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     So much money was stolen coupled with so much time spent on fun and games at the Rakyat’s expense that this important natural resource has been neglected since 2004. No one cared.

     IT IS NOW IMPORTANT FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH A SPECIAL UNIT OR MINISTRY TO SAFEGUARD, PROTECT AND ENHANCE OUR WATER RESOURCES WITH A LONG TERM POLICY OF AT LEAST 25 YEARS. Our beloved Malaysia is still fortunate to have rain.

     The task of saving, up-dating pipes, stopping leaks and education of the Rakyat to save WATER begins NOW not tomorrow which will be too late.

     A suggested significant first step could be to amend the Constitution thus,

     ” NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE SOLD, TRANSPORTED OR EXPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE ”

     A new industry will spring up being that concerning raw water and treated water as exemplified by the headline on the increased business for Spritzer !

     3. ” Act fast to promote palm oil ” so said the Minister. The year is 2019 !

     The palm oil industry was neglected from 2004-2018 – 14 years of inaction by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     They do not even know that palm oil fights for its place in the World’s market all the time against 8 other edible oils. The biggest competitor is soya bean oil.

     The work in promoting, protecting and advancing the interests of the palm oil producers rests with the Ministry of Primary Commodities. This has been on-going since the oil palm was Malaysianised in the 1960s. This fight by palm oil interest will have no ending but a life-long one. This I hope the YB Minister will recognised.

     Not only that there are many factors to back up the efficiency and cost of production of the palm oil. Therefore, it is in the interests of all to join hands and work overtime to protect the interests of the palm oil industry throughout the World. This is no easy task as the records showed the 14 years of neglect by a Corrupt BN Government not in the interests of the Rakyat. My best wishes are with the YB Minister !

     4. ” ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS NO LONGER MAIN CONSIDERATIONS FOR SINGAPORE EMPLOYERS. MINISTRY OF MANPOWER, SINGAPORE ”

     I hope all Malaysian copy-cats will read this ominous headline from Singapore THAT MERITOCRACY HAD FAILED IN MERITOCRATIC SINGAPORE ! In fact this is old news.

     In 2014, 2 Senior Ministers of the Singapore Government announced that in future, applicants for jobs and promotions will be considered NOT ONLY ON THEIR ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS BUT ALSO ON THEIR OTHER TALENTS. They have admitted the FAILURE OF SINGAPORE’S MUCH TOUTED MERITOCRACY POLICY WHICH WAS LAPPED UP BY THE MALAYSIAN ADMIRERS OF LEE KUAN YEW !

     The Failed Policy of Meritocracy as emanated from Lee Kuan Yew’s Bluffology or BS based on graduates from the Ivy League or Oxbridge or HIMSELF was designed to keep the hoi-polloi out of the higher levels of the Singapore Government – the ruling class.

     How many Singaporeans could enter the Ivy League or Oxbridge or be like Lee Kuan Yew ?

     Some of those who graduated could not fit into the small and restricted Singaporean community.

     A few years ago in 2010, one Saturday evening a female Cambridge graduate stripped herself naked and together with her equally naked Caucasian boy friend romped around Holland Village, Singapore. Her explanation was that she found her job boring. The Singapore Government did not know what to do. No action was taken.

     THIS LATEST HEADLINE ON THE FAILURE OF MERITOCRACY IN SINGAPORE ONLY UNDERLINED WHAT THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT FOUND OUT A LONG TIME AGO AND OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED IN 2014 ! Malaysian copy-cats please take note. The grass is not always greener on the other side !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Lee Kuan Yew’s BLUFFOLOGY OR BS ON MERITOCRACY WAS FAKE AND COST SINGAPORE DEARLY !

157. Tun

     As we marched further into the week, more political headlines of minor importance are created by the Opposition media to stir the unwary souls of the old and the young.

     We Malaysians were once apolitical and left the mind-boggling problems to our elected leaders of the day.

     But after 2003 and as times began to be harder and difficult, the reality of a corrupt BN Leadership began to sink in during 2004-2018 that the trust we entrusted to them was being abused with the notion that the Rakyat were ignorant and stupid. This opened Pandora’s Box which released all kinds unknown creatures to the firmament.

     Hence, the orderliness of the past before 2004 is no more.

     Neophytes now insult and claim verbal space by talking nonsense without propriety, facts and manners. Fortunately, talking is FREE in our beloved Malaysia but not in Singapore where verbal freedom could be bankrupted by those in POWER.

     How many Malaysians are aware that there is no book written to guarantee a person to be a President or a Prime Minister ? Also, there is no book written to make you a millionaire ?

     But there are thousands of books on Political Philosophies or Business Management. The former will turn a person suitable for Tanjong Rambutan if taken too seriously and the latter will definitely make a person a better Manager.

     Both Politics and Business are fine arts if practised properly and will be rewarding.

     But the difficulty is NO BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON THESE SUBJECTS.

     Hence, in a place like Malaysia, we find all kinds of people engaged in either politics which does not require capital but only the Gift of the Gab and in business which cannot actually be defined as a profession unlike law, medicine, accountancy and engineering.

     And from the records ONLY THE STRONG MINDED WITH CHARACTER WILL SURVIVE THE ROUGH AND TUMBLE OF MALAYSIAN POLITICS ! Only the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad fit the bill !

     Out of the rojak pot of self-appointed politicians of which most have big mouths and egos, there are those who do their daily preening and display of an ego which has to be burnished in a narcissistic manner. A common Malaysian trait is to run down others. To an onlooker like myself who had seen so many of such characters come and go through the years, this is z common as A, B, C !

     Whenever a problem arises, I always go back to the basics. I never ACCUSE WITHOUT KNOWING MY OWN BASIC POSITION AND THE FACTS. It is just like looking at one’s face in the mirror every morning. KNOW THYSELF BEFORE POINTING YOUR MIDDLE FINGER AT OTHERS !

     The best course of action is to say nothing at all. Man or Woman proposes. God disposes. And avoid being a tool for the use of naysayers, troublemakers, crooks or Singaporeans !

     Now with the eager beaver Opposition media playing up every little mistake made by the YBs of the incumbent New and Incorruptible Government, to make them look like greenhorns, clowns or fools, they certainly have a field day with the new YBs ever ready to shoot their mouths off.

     I asked one of them why this wa so. The innocent replied that this was done to inform their constituents that they were doing something. To these YBs, hot air is more important than deeds or delivery !

     If these YBs are not careful and cautious with the words, the combined effect one day will blow the whole lot up like a fission bomb.

     The above is all about COMMON SENCE !

     The Opposition headlines are to be believed or not. The choice is yours alone, ( the only big stick the Opposition has left is just the media ). From The Star, thus :-

     1. ” DR M UPSET BY NURUL’S REMARK ” True or false ? To divide and rule ?

     2. ” PM PLEADS FOR CIVIL SERVANTS TO BE PATIENT ” True or false ? The PM weak ?

     3. ” MB TO QUIT AS CLUB PRESIDENT AFTER BEER BAN FAILS ‘ True or false ? Political agitation ?

     4. ” IT WAS ERROR IN TRANSLATION ” True or false ? Bungling ?

     5. ” FIRESTORM OVER ‘DICTATOR’ REMARK ” True or false ? Magnify a storm in the tea-cup ?

     6. ” CALLS FOR NEW PAC CHIEF GROW LOUDER ” True or false ? Fake creation a’la king ?

     Fake news are now produced all over the World for vested interests. To the weak-minded, ignorant and camp-followers these fake news would be treated as true, like those fake news about himself created by Lee Kuan Yew during his lifetime using the resources of a tiny State.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem is no fake news !

158. Tun

     For those readers who are interested to know more about Lee Kuan Yew and his 47 Fables and Foibles of Failed Public Policies, I refer them to http://www.chedet.cc.org Archives September 2010 ‘ Malaysia according to Kuan Yew.’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

159. Tun,

     Because of your multifarious successes in many fields of achievements for so long and you have been humble all the time, unlike Lee Kuan Yew who went max to broadcast his fake achievements using the National Resources of tiny Singapore for a life-time, some ill-informed and lazy minded were not able to see the whole picture.

     There is now a big on-going debate on this subject.

     For example, how many Malaysians are aware of the CREATION OF THE MALAY MIDDLE-CLASS FROM ZERO BASE BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD 1981-2003 ? But this subject is only one of the many which may be grouped thus in line with Tun’s life-long dedication, contribution and vision for our Society.

     1. The Political Will and Vision of a true Political Leader. I can only name 3 other Prime Ministers namely the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn which fit the bill together with you.

     The historical record shows from your achievements.

     2. The creation of the Malay Middle Income Group of 6 million families from 1981-2003 which form the political and socio-economic ballast of present day Malaysia of peace, harmony and prosperity. This Group engages the Non-Malay Middle Income Group through purchase and sale of goods and services all over the country in wet markets and malls and miscellaneous activities.

     A Nation must have a wide ranging Middle Income Group which with a Government’s support and encouragement expands exponentially. This is the nub of a democratic system to provide for its future leadership and socio-economic well-being.

     WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

     3. All the concepts as launched by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad were correct but were ruined by the closest aides who were corrupt and crossed the red line in every instance of no return. I should know I was the first and the only one who did not cross the red line of no return. There was no scandal. So, no one has heard of me which suited me absolutely.

     ALL THE SCANDALS WERE CAUSED BY THE CORRUPT CLOSEST AIDES WHO CROSSED THE RED LINE OF NO RETURN ! When Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad thought he was talking to them on the 88th Floor, their minds were actually in the basement!

     4. The infra-structures like the N-S Highway, KLIA, Putrajaya, Twin Towers etc were created by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad without an Adviser unlike Lee Kuan Yew and the UN Economics expert, Dr Albert Winsemius, Adviser to the Singapore Government 1962-1984.

     What we see in Singapore today is due to Dr Winsemius. What we did not see from 1948-1989, was the Black Under Counter Trades in arms and other illicit trades which brought Singapore huge profits with the condonation of Uncle Sam via a secret Treaty with Lee Kuan Yew. The sort of thing Malaysia will never do. Lee Kuan Yew had blood on his hands.

     5. The huge advances in Higher Education and Medical Services were made during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s 22 year Administration 1981-2003.

     6. Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is not a dictator because throughout his public life he followed the best precepts of a well-trained and brilliant doctor with a very good memory and kept tabs on his subordinates by having a note book. A good doctor always follow up on his patients. He was called a dictator because he caught many of his lazy subordinates not performing their jobs.

     7. Another factor which was Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had already studied a subject well before he gave out orders to his subordinates who thought wrongly that he was authoritarian. It was the subordinates who were in the basement.

     8. In 2003, our beloved Malaysia’s total debts were about RM 300 billion when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad retired. By 2018, the total debts had risen to RM 1 TRILLION AND THE COUNTRY HAD NOTHING TO SHOW FOR THIS HUGE DEBT BUT AN EXPENSIVE RAIL LINE IN KUALA LUMPUR. What happened to the RM 700 Billion ? An international survey found that between 2002 to 2010 RM 1 Trillion were siphoned out of the country.

     9. The FTZ were robust and active during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Administration 1981-2003. But between 2004-2018, there were no attempts to have any Policy which attracts or create new jobs for the Rakyat because so much time was spent having fun and games with the Rakyat’s precious money in all directions, UK, Australia, United States, Singapore, Turkey, etc.

     These were the significant achievements 1981-2003 of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who is recognised as one of the greatest Statesmen of the Muslim World if not the World WITHOUT BLOOD ON HIS HANDS UNLIKE LEE KUAN YEW FROM HIS 2 CHILD FAMILY POLICY OF 1972-1984 AND HIS THAKSIN PURCHASE 2006 WHICH SPLIT FREE THAILAND INTO TWO CAUSING DEATHS AND INJURIES TO HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT THAI MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. You are right. Where got former dictator ? A DICTATOR NEVER RETIRES LIKE LEE KUAN YEW !

160. Tun

     As I left the house this morning at 9.30 a.m. my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree were still chirping and singing. I wondered what kept them in song for so long since 6.50 a.m. May be they feel free as a bird as the saying goes despite a Monday morning ! Another wonderful day of our beloved Malaysia with the naysayers the troublemakers and the political clowns still in bed after a night of revelry of empty talk ?

     The headlines were all sub-standard which were focused on political thugs bullying young students, or young political neophytes preening in the media or a mis-representation of a World War II Memorial arose because of a careless bungle, thus :-

     1. ” SINGAPOREANS LINKED TO TOXIC WASTE PROBE.”

     2. ” LEASE DECAY DOES NOT MEAN THAT HDB FLAT WILL HAVE $0 IN VALUE. HENG – SINGAPORE’S PM HEIR APPARENT.”

     3. ” MANY SLAM ‘MONUMENTAL MISTAKE’ ”

     4. ” THE DISGRACEFUL BEHAVIOUR OF PRESENT DAY MILLENNIALS.” My creation.

     My succinct comments on the above-mentioned headlines as follows :-

     1. This toxic crisis on the Sungei Kim Kim is not the first nor the last with sneaky Singaporeans who will take advantage of the lack of enforcement because of CORRUPTION.

     Whether these foul acts were caused by Singaporeans or not, these have occurred around the whole country during the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally Corrupt elites, 2004-2018. No one cared. No one went to jail.

     In the meantime, our rivers, mangrove swamps and lakes are got fouled up not only poisoning the clean waters, the vegetation, the live-stock of fish and the livelihood of the fishermen and fish and prawn farmers as well.

     From the Camerons to Sungei Kim Kim !

     Corruption knew no bounds. This is one important area for the New and Incorruptible Government to focus on enforcement to restore ALL TO NORMAL and safeguards our precious WATER IN THE PROCESS to aid whatever reservoirs in the States in times of need during the dry season like now. Prevention is better than cure.

     2. THIS IS GOBBLEDEGOOK TO ME ! No new white rabbits out of the proverbial hat. Hence, something undecipherable in an attempt to get out of a difficult situation. Singapore’s BLUFFOLOGY OR BS AT ITS WORST !

     3. If the State Minister of Tourism had not added his own words to garnish the Monument, no one would have noticed.

     On these War Memorials, I am in favour of erecting War Memorials for ALL, the fallen Malaysians, the British, the Dutch, the Portuguese and the Japanese.

     We must not be held hostage by HISTORY.

     We should make use of HISTORY TO OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S ADVANTAGE like in Switzerland where William Tell was created as a myth or like China’s temples destroyed during the Cultural Revolution of 1966 which were re-created with PLASTIC ! These countries never said HISTORY IS GOOD FOR TOURISM !

     First, I respect the feelings of those who had lost their loved ones through strifes or conflicts. I was a refugee once and was machine-gunned once and bombed twice and lost ALL in the process. Second, we cannot escape from HISTORY WHICH IS THE FINEST ARBITER OF THE TRUTH.

     With a good understanding of our present existence through HISTORY we not only respect and understand one another but creates UNITY as well. WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT. WE ENJOY TOGETHER. SUFFER TOGETHER LIKE NOW ! No more.! No less !

     LET THE WHOLE WORLD VISIT MALAYSIA TO APPRECIATE OUR RICH AND COLOURFUL HISTORY ! No one should be left out ! There is NO SHAME IN THIS.

     4. Some Millennials do not use their frontal lobes to THINK ! Those we have great expectations turned out to be found wanting..

     A long time ago when I was very young, I learnt to my cost that when I spoke without thinking, my words were like bullets out of a gun. Once spoken, the words could not be retrieved to erase my embarrassment later. From this, I also learnt to say “SORRY” without hesitation and instead became a good listener.

     In my LIFE, I have met many who had VERBAL DIARRHOEA and the obstinacy not to say, “SORRY”. I even met a person who told me she never did anything wrong in her LIFE. It was obvious that such a person has no feelings for herself or others.

     Not only that, now we have politicians both male and female, who have a bee in their bonnet, so to speak.

     One female politician turned up in a mini-skirt and red boots at the august State Legislature. Another could not read beyond the first sentence of the Constitution so focused was she on babies, napkins and pacifiers in installing a nursery in the august Dewan Rakyat and instead of giving small donations to ALL charities, she gave to only ONE. The roof felled on her !

     Then, there was another YB who does not realise the exalted position she holds over and above ALL THE RAKYAT. Her emotions got the better of her and she rushed to stick a KNIFE into my friend’s Teflon back (whom she called a FORMER DICTATOR) down in OF ALL PLACES SINGAPORE, A PLACE WHICH NOW GRASPS AT ANY STRAW TO SURVIVE !

     TUN HAS ALREADY SAID THAT IF HE WAS A DICTATOR HE WOULD NOT HAVE RESIGNED IN 2003 AND PERMITTED HIS TWO SUCCESSORS TO RUN RIOT WITH THE NATION’S MONEY MONEY MONEY !

     The YB does not even realise that with her efforts together with the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great, not only did she brought down A SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES 2004-2018 but also created our beloved Malaysia to be one of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Where are you Singapore ?

     All YBs MUST SEE THE WOOD FROM THE TREES ESPECIALLY IN MALAYSIAN POLITICS.

     Especially nowadays when all sorts of frivolous questions are brought up every day TO MISLEAD THE YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED YBs ! To make them LOOK LIKE CLOWNS BY THE OPPOSITION. BEWARE OF THE OPPOSITION MEDIA AND JOURNALISTS WHO PROFIT BY MAKING FOOLS OF THE UNSUSPECTING YBs ! And turned them round and round to the laughter of ALL !

     As our good Tun had said that it is alright for all Ministers to take time to learn to control the ropes of POWER AS LONG AS THEY ARE HONEST!

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

161. Tun

     Welcome home from a grand reception in Pakistan which befits a Statesman not only of the Muslim World but also the World.

     Our beloved Malaysia awaits your Leadership to bring the Nation and its Rakyat into NORMALCY.

     Within our beloved Malaysia, we feel good and secure with the peace and harmony around us which was only marred by the thuggery on young students protesting against kleptocracy by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites. The rule of the Laws must prevail. The police station was only across the road. No policemen was despatched ! Prevention is better than cure !

     I consider all these incidents as a test against the Political Will and the Efficiency of the New and Incorruptible Government which should have its nose on the ground and not through Third Parties.

     The only way the New and Incorruptible Government to gain kudos is to fix the general economy which has not been affected by the huge apparatus of the BN-Private Sector Nexus. And this is not easy as it was corrupt in the first instance.

     A good standby has always been the Construction Industry which went haywire in recent years through corruption and over-building which also affected the banks and their mortgages. Then, we have the present strict rules to purchase a home. At the appropriate time, this restriction should be lifted for a person to buy more than one property.

     The retail business has been shrinking in recent years due to the lack of consumers because so much money was STOLEN OUT OF THE SYSTEM IN A SMALL COUNTRY BY A SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES 2004-2018.

     However there is the light in the horizon which is the Ministry of Finance being able to keep a good set of books. AND ITS ABILITY TO COLLECT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FROM THE THIEVES OF PUTRAJAYA ! Leave no stone unturned to collect back the loot ! The faster the better ! Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. 3 strokes of the rotan.

     THE MALAYSIAN CROOKS HAVE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS STASHED OVERSEAS, MONEY WHICH WAS STOLEN AND DID NOT BELONG TO THEM !

     With the increasing financial turmoil in the World, the World’s Central Banks are now on tenterhooks and could now only react on an ad hoc basis. We must not forget that the Crash of 2008 is still unresolved. There is now talk of the Fed reducing interest rates with the knowledge that its balance sheet still has not attain a normal stance. Therefore, all natural resources will be valuable with this scenario if there is a market for them ! Water tops the list !

     There are so many financial exposures overseas created by the BN Government, it is time to retrieve all as quickly as possible and review our investments during this softening period of the World’s trades and markets. And further reduce our loans and liabilities wherever possible. Time is of the Essence !

     THE GLCs ARE THE BIGGEST CULPRITS IN THIS REGARD !

     Our beloved Malaysia is fortunate that the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elite was thrown out of POWER on 9 May 2018.

     At least Malaysia is now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Instead of being killed by the kleptocrats, Malaysia is now on an upward trajectory as led by the new and Incorruptible Government of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     Unlike the collective political Leadership of Singapore which has to rely more and more on the late Lee Kuan Yew for morale support through the daily media propaganda. The only place in the World to do so – a collective political Leadership which is colourless and lacks oomph, relies heavily on its late Leader of yesteryear, Lee Kuan Yew. They should have brought back Goh Chok Tong !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with the New and Incorruptible Government to lead us out of the Augean Stables to greater heights of endeavour !

162. Tun

     With the uncalled-for roughing up of young students by political thugs in 2019, let me present my true and personal view of one of the Great Statesmen of Malaysia, Tun Abdul Razak, the others being the Tunku, Tun Hussein Onn and our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     Tun Abdul Razak was a friend of my family. He was at Raffles College, Singapore as a classmate of my elder sister. Their contemporaries were the Royal Professor Ungku Tan Sri Abdul Aziz, Tan Sri Taib Andak, Tan Sri Hamdan, Raja Tan Sri Mohar Badiozzaman, Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee, Ms Kwa, Barker etc.

     I first met Tun Abdul Razak, President of the Olympic Council Malaysia in 1965 after having delivered a disused mining land of 10 acres at Subang which was turned into an International Standard Shooting Range in 2 weeks working from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. He requested me to open up the doors of the Selangor Shooting Association which was controlled by only 33 Hakkas into a sporting association for all.

     In 1966, I delivered his wish. The Association now has a membership of 2,000 with RM 2 million in its coffers and Malay and non-Malay shooting teams in all international meets. Malaysia won its Asian Games Gold in Shooting at Teheran in 1972.

     In 1968, Tun Abdul Razak recommended me to the Board of Trustees EPF. I retired from EPF in 1974.

     In 1968, he offered me the best State seat for a Chinese being the Selangor Kuala Kubu seat which goes with a seat in the Selangor State Exco. My advisers Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too and the UMNO Youths were strongly against I should stand. I took their advice. At the 1969 GE, the Alliance majority of 5,000 fizzled down to 450 votes ! A turning which I avoided and definitely lost.

     In 1971, Tun Abdul Razak fought very hard to appoint me as the youngest person to the Board of Directors, Bank Negara Malaysia. The chairperson was the famous Gabenor Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali. During this period, the Singapore Dollar was S$ 1.03 to RM 1.00 and we had gold in the BNM.

     In 1973, Tun Abdul Razak offered the post of Deputy Minister of Finance for the 1974 GE. As a wiser person I declined because I knew my friends would be Minister of Finance and Head of MCA.

     In 1972, through Tun Abdul Razak’s kindness and with the full knowledge of the socio-economic predicament of my Malay friends in their own country and economy that the Malays owned only 2% of the economy, the British 70% of the best assets and businesses and the Chinese 25% of the third rate with a handful of towkays, I was inspired to present my 1972 Concept to capture Sime Darby and launch the Malays into big business in the shortest time possible.

     Both Tun Abdul Razak and YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah gave me their support. Together with others, Sime Darby was in Malaysian control by November 1975. Before this, the Malaysians ran out of funds.

     Without informing anyone, I met Mrs Lee Kuan Yew ( PAP Founder ) in January 1974. She denied any knowledge of her husband’s activities. We talked for 1 hour. After the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975, 2 Singaporean banks assisted to help the Malaysians over the hump.

     THE MALAYSIANS SPENT ONLY RM 23 MILLION TO GAIN CONTROL OF SIME DARBY. It is crystal clear that the Malays did NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS BUT SINGAPORE’S ASSISTANCE IN THIS REGARD. The MCA was off the mark by calling me names ! Stupid.

     First, we must be grateful to both Tun Abdul Razak and YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah for their vision and support for a good cause. Second, we must never forget that Singapore helped through 2 Singaporean banks which were rewarded handsomely.

     This could be recorded as the finest co-operation between Malaysia and Singapore to this very day AND UNDERLINED THE GOODWILL AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE GREAT STATESMAN TUN ABDUL RAZAK AND YBM TENGKU RAZALEIGH HAMZAH IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO EQUALIZE THE LOP-SIDED MALAYSIAN PLAYING FIELD AS AT 13 MAY 1969 !

     For my 1972 Concept that the Malays should buy British assets at fair market values to lift themselves from zero base and not Chinese assets, a MCA Leader called me “A MALAY BUM SUCKER’. Under this banner, he misled the whole of the MCA into business to counter Malay business expansion. With this song, he could remit S$ 100 million to his girl friend’s account from Singapore to Hong Kong in 1984 via my friend. He was eventually jailed and pretended to be poor by borrowing from billionaires !

     In 1992, I was thrown out by the Malaysian Sime Darby Executives whose jobs I created, my total emoluments before tax was RM 500,000 for 18 service as a Non-executive Director. Now the Executives wallop RM 500,000 a month as salaries ! Thereafter, Sime Darby went bankrupt TWICE in 1996 at RM 1.2 Billion and in 2010 at RM 2.10 Billion. The same Management carried on as though nothing had happened. No one was charged. No one was jailed.

     Tun Abdul Razak was a very intelligent and exceptional person. He was a great thinker and planner in the National Interest. Money was not in his vocabulary. His aides did not play him out and delivered accordingly. A fine example was Tan Sri Taib Andak who delivered FELDA amongst many others with success.

     Fortunately, our beloved Malaysia had FINE GENTLEMEN WHO LED THE NATION WITH HONOUR, SINCERITY, INTEGRITY AND DEDICATION LIKE THE TUNKU. TUN ABDUL RAZAK, TUN HUSEEIN ONN AND OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD for 47 years in which the CREATION OF THE MIDDLE INCOME GROUP OF MALAYS WAS SIGNIFICANT, 1981-2003 !

     These Great Statesmen did not resort to thuggery to muzzle young students but THE RAKYAT’S LOVE FOR THEM TO MAINTAIN POWER.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We must all emulate the fine examples of our Great Statesmen like the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. NO THUGGERY FOR US, WE ARE MALAYSIANS !

163. Tun

     The end of the week brings expectations of a good and restful weekend to come. With the break of Dawn this morning, my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree were up and about with their chirping and singing at 6.50 a.m. as soon as I unlatched the front door. Another Good Morning in the offing. The brightening pale blue sky was unmarked by not a single wisp of cloud as far as one could see. Another peaceful and harmonious day for our beloved Malaysia ?

     One singular headline caught my eye today, thus :-

     ” IMRAN KHAN HAILS DR M AS STATESMAN OF MUSLIM WORLD.”

     and the others were –

     ” DR MASZLEE EXPRESSES REGRET SCUFFLE NEAR UM, WANTS COPS TO PROBE.”

     and my own headline –

     ” POLLUTION, ILLICIT DESTRUCTION OF FORESTS AND DUMPING HAVE GROWN IN INTENSITY DURING 2004-2018 ”

     1. Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was much honoured by the Muslim World during his First Tenure as our Prime Minister throughout the Muslim World. His name rang a bell amongst the citizenry throughout the Third World whenever his name was mentioned to the chagrin of the West.

     How many are aware even in their own country our beloved Malaysia that single-handedly Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad created the 6 million middle-income Malay families from zero base in 22 years which now provide the support of the sales and services to the other 6 million non-Malay middle-income group ?

     This is the most remarkable achievement in any country in the World.

     The Malaysian Middle Income Group provides the bulwark for political stability, progress and prosperity.

     Similarly, India with her 350 million English speaking Indians maintains her rightful place in the World today from India to the United States with this group being the bulwark of a politically stable, progressive and prosperous India.

     Of course, our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has achieved many firsts in his unique and humble career. He is definitely not a Double Dealing Leader like Lee Kuan Yew who pursued the Black Under Counter Trades in Arms and other illicit trades with the condonation of Uncle Sam – 1959-1989 during the Cold War – 1948-1989.

     Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad definitely has no blood on his hands unlike Lee Kuan Yew who implemented 47 Failed Public Policies of which at least 2 caused him to have blood on his hands eg. i) 1972-1984. The Two Child Family Policy and ii) the Thaksin Purchase. 2006 which split Free Thailand into two bitter factions giving rise to deaths and injuries of innocent Thai men, women and children.

     Vide. http://www.chedet.cc.org Archives. September 2010. ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’.

     Finally, all the concepts created by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad were correct but he was played out behind his back by his crooked closest aides who took advantage of his trust in them.

     I should know because I was the first who did not cross the red line of no return AND THERE WAS NO SCANDAL.

     Why were these closest aides crooked ?

     Simple. HOW COME ALL OF THEM ARE WORTH MORE THAN RM 100 MILLION RIGHT UP TO OVER RM 1 BILLION OWNING BANKS, STRADIVARIUS VIOLINS, ACRES IN BUKIT TUNKU ETC WHEN THEY ALL STARTED WITH EMPTY POCKETS AS PER THEIR LHDN RETURNS and appointed by our beloved Tun to manage Public owned entities ?

     It is only fit and proper that Pakistan’s finest Leader Imran Khan did what is right for the recognition of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as a STATESMAN NOT ONLY OF THE MUSLIM WORLD BUT THE WORLD ! A Malaysian of HONOUR, INTEGRITY, SINCERITY, MOTIVATION AND DEDICATION.

     2. Dr Maszlee is correct in his comment on the young students being roughened up by political gangsters.

     The Rule of Law should prevail.

     VIOLENCE MUST NEVER BE CONDONED IN THE POLITICAL ARENA IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAUSE DEMOCRACY AND OUR CONSTITUTION ARE WHAT OF THE MANY FACTORS WHICH HOLD THE FEDERATION TOGETHER.

     This minor altercation by the use of force as a means to an end should be punished on all the perpetrators concerned without fear or favour by the relevant authorities.

     Our beloved Malaysia has come very far in the area of Law and Order. And the authorities should apply the FULL FORCE OF THE LAW TO PREVENT FURTHER OUTBREAKS IN FUTURE. Prevention is better than cure. Less headaches too in the future. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court.

     3. Pollution in our beloved Malaysia has grown in intensity without any meaningful checks and enforcement during 2004-2018 under the Regime of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     Normal standards of governance felled all round the country.

     Pollution was everywhere. No one cared. The dumping of wastes was the same with the dumping of wastes into our beloved Malaysia even from the UK. This attracted carpet-baggers to set-up shop in Kuantan to further pollute our beloved Malaysia due to a BN Government which was too busy having fun and games at the Rakyat’s expense.

     Not only that, there were illicit destruction of our virgin forests, logging in all States even in Kelantan apparently with Singaporeans support, stealing of our riverine sand and rocks and more.

     The Ministry of Environment has its work cut out for the YB Minister – JUST TO RECTIFY, KEEP AND MAINTAIN STANDARDS ON A NORMAL AND EVEN ENVIRONMENTAL KEEL !

     How many Malaysians know that the Immigration Dept of Malaysia was not computerised until the turn of the 21st Century ?

     Here is the Truth. I caught the crooked Trustee of my father’s Trust by not residing in Malaysia for 6 months continuously. But at the last moment before his Trial, the witness, an Immigration Officer told me that every year in those non-computerised years of the 1990s, the gates of the Immigration Johor Baru checkpoints were thrown open with no checks so that the Singaporeans could rush back to Singapore on the days before the festivities. In this particular case, it was Christmas Eve 1997. On this, the crooked Trustee got away because the Immigration Officer could not swear in Court that there were 100% Immigration checks throughout 365 days in a year ! This was yesterday !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. I have always said that if the Prime Minister knows how to govern our beloved Malaysia it is easy, simple and straightforward. If not, there will be turmoil in the streets.

     You understood Tun, the Principle of the Pyramid of POWER whereby the goodies must flow down from the Apex to the proletariat at the bottom with their outstretched hands. But between 2004-2018, the long suffering Rakyat saw the goodies flowing against gravity upwards towards the Apex in INCREASING QUANTITIES without anything for them. This broke the camel’s back !

164. Tun

     It is good you make State visits to all our neighbours which is proper protocol and not waste precious time and Rakyat’s money on golf courses overseas. A Government like a person must behave and act NORMALLY and not used for fun and games at the Rakyat’s expense. This is sheer common sense.

     By accident, this morning my feather friends the bulbuls in the young banyan tree were aroused from their sound slumber by me as I opened the front gate at 6.50 a.m. I could not stop them from the chirping and singing which gathered in volume as the minutes ticked by. I was glad they were back in their nest. Another wonderful morning of beloved Malaysia !

     And the eye-catching headlines from the Opposition media this morning, thus :-

     1. ” WHY DAIM AND NOT GUAN ENG. ”

     2. ” GOVT CANNOT AFFORD TO BAIL OUT MAS ”

     3. ” HAPPINESS INDEX. MALAYSIA PLUNGES FROM 35 TO 80 ”

     1. No where in the World does a Government uses a Finance Minister to negotiate business deals on its behalf.

     In each Government, a Finance Minister is a person who is either a professional like a lawyer, economist, accountant or a reliable politician like YB Lim Guan Eng.

     A Finance Minister’s job in the eyes of a Democratic Government is strictly to administer the books of the Government and formulate fiscal Policy and to influence Monetary Policy of the Central Bank.

     A FINANCE MINISTER KEEPS STRICTLY TO THE MANAGEMENT OF ONLY MONEY IN ALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD UNLIKE THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES WHEN THE PRIME MINISTERS ALSO WERE MINISTERS OF FINANCE. Where else but Malaysia ? Like this our beloved Malaysia now SUFFER FOR THE SINS OF OTHERS. Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court. Put them in jail.

     IN THE CASE OF THE ECRL WITH A HUGE ELEMENT OF CROOKED MONEY PADDING ( It was so high. It is unbelievable ) OF ITS CONTRACT BY THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES, A NEGOTIATOR MUST BE WELL-VERSED IN ALL ASPECTS OF BUSINESS TO ACHIEVE A SATISFACTORY OBJECTIVE WHICH IS THE LOWEST PRICE POSSIBLE FOR THE PROJECT. No more. No less.

     YB Lim Guan Eng is very good as a good and reliable Politician to administer the country’s finances with a clean set of books. Who else is better ? None can beat him at the moment. Square pegs for square holes. Round pegs for round holes. It takes many experts to form a Government.

     2. ” GOVERNMENT CANNOT AFFORD TO BAIL OUT MAS ”

     MAS was used as a National Symbol by many who exploited it for reasons best known to themselves.

     When Air Asia became successful without a monopoly, MAS became irrelevant as a National Symbol because with a MONOPOLY from 1972 to 2002, MAS failed to make money.

     Billions of ringgits were spent to keep a air carrier which just flew in the skies to keep the FLAG flying. This has come to a stage that this act does not warrant more money to be spent when Air Asia could do a better job WITHOUT A MONOPOLY.

     And no Government in the World should be in business especially a losing business for so long losing money that the MAS tale has become a LEGEND. This badly reflects on the Nation’s Leadership as being corrupt, ineffective and self-serving. IT’S TIME FOR THE OGVERNMENT TO LET MAS GO FOR MANY REASONS !

     For example, which MAS Management did not enjoy themselves at the expense of the Government and its constituents, the Rakyat ?

     From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, how many Malaysians knew that huge blocs of seats were sold under counter during the go-go years of Malaysian overseas travel. I should know because I owned a travel agency once upon a time.

     Eventually, I met the MAS fellow with the round eyes and curly hair in a 4 persons lift in the luxury block of flats behind Harrods London along Sloane Street. It is the block with the fountain at the entrance. He looked up the lift’s ceiling to avoid my gaze. So did I who knew this fellow from Taiping !

     Then it was alleged another fellow who took-over the lady Director as soon as he took-over the MAS. He built a glass house between Harrods and Heathrow along Cromwell Road with MAS money of course. He knew nothing about business.

     Another tale of MAS. This fellow used the MAS like a private jet in a series of MAS flights of fancy and frenzy between KL and London on the pretext of buying fake modern art from a London female curator to adorn his MAS office.

     IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO CALL A SPADE A SPADE THAT MAS IS NO LONGER RELEVANT TO BE BAILED OUT FOR THE SAKE OF UNDESERVING EXECUTIVES WHO USED THE MAS LIKE AN ATM AND ALSO TO SATISFY THEIR SEXUAL DESIRES OR PECADILLOS.

     3. ” HAPPINESS INDEX. MALAYSIA PLUNGES FROM 35 TO 80.”

     The good thing is that I was in Kuala Lumpur right in the heart of our beloved Malaysia and felt exceedingly happy throughout the period covered by the Happiness Index 2018-2019. I did not feel my happiness plunged from 35 down to 80 with the Pinoys. In fact, I felt my happiness knew no bounds. On the Happiness Index, this could be scored as within 10 !

     So what happened to such a UNNATURAL PLUNGE the only one recorded like this in the World. On paper, its like FROM SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS ! Here are the factors thus :-

     1. The enemies of the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great were at work overtime. These enemies are domestic as well as external.

     2. With the fall of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, the corrupt nexus between Government and the Private Sector was broken beyond repair. Many rice bowls were shattered like Humpty Dumpty.

     3. SINGAPORE MAINTAINS A HUGE MINISTRY OF INFORMATION FOR A ONE STREET TOWN. Its purpose is not only to keep tabs on important Malaysian and foreign dignitaries but also to influence ALL WORLD SURVEYS, ACADEMICS AND JOURNALISTS WITH SWALLOWS, DUCKS, ETC IN HER FAVOUR LIKE A COMMUNIST STATE. The sort of tricks which our Governments never thought about or will do on others – SNEAKY SPYING ON FRIENDS.

     4. WITHOUT ANY REGARD TO PROTECT OUR TRUE AND REAL STANDING IN THE WORLD OF SURVEYS, OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS DOOMED TO BE EXPOSED TO ALL SORTS OF SHENANIGANS BY HER ENEMIES SOME OF WHOM HAD BEEN AT IT FOR CENTURIES !

     Just look at Brexit ! Britain was pushed into EU by unseen hands for political and monetary advantage. Now her population want to leave. The same unseen hands are making Britain almost impossible to exit. Hence, in our present World of nano seconds, unimaginable acts happen all the time. The gnomes of Zurich at work ?

     THE REASON WHY SOME PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD IS BECAUSE HE CAN THINK LOGICALLY, HAS COMMON SENSE AND IS FORTHRIGHT IN HIS BELIEFS WHICH ARE JUST RIGHT AND WRONG. Black is black. White is white.

     Crooks do not like people who can think and have principles. Hence, Lee Kuan Yew could DOUBLE DEAL during our beloved Malaysia’s darkest era 2004-2018 when she was exploited by the Singaporeans through and through until 9 May 2018.

     The whole Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites went down the drain en masse.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with International Surveys.

165. Tun

     Yesterday the Opposition media was as quiet as an empty morgue. Even my feather friends the bulbuls went AWOL. This morning they were back chirping and singing loudly at 6.55 a.m. Where else but Malaysia ?

     As a fallen UMNO Tan Sri once told me, ‘ Today is today. Yesterday was yesterday.’

     And as for the headlines, it is headlines galore thus :-

     1. ” NEVER AGAIN. PM VOWS TO CONSIGN KEPTOCRACY TO THE HISTORY BOOKS.”

     2. ” NEW COURT FOR CORRUPTION CASES ”

     3. ” NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR KEDAH ”

     4. ” ONE STATE’S MEAT CAN BE ANOTHER STATE’S POISON ”

     5. ” PROTECT OUR FORESTS LIQUID GOLD ”

     6. ” MEANDERING TOWARDS DISASTER ”

     7. ” ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG ”

     8. ” BANKS TOLD TO BE FLEXIBLE IN LENDING ”

     9. ” EPF MAY CEASE TO EXIST ”

     10.” WAN AZMI ENTERS E & O AGAIN ”

     11.” SINGAPORE, PARIS, HK WORLD’S MOST COSTLY CITIES ”

     12.” ELITE SCHOOLS TO RISE AGAIN ”

     What a wonderful array of headlines in our environment which is trying its level best to get back to NORMALCY.

     1. ” NEVER AGAIN…” After 46 years of Normal Governance by the BN Government, who would expect the Devil took the hindmost after 2003 ?

     With famished Singaporeans running wild in the Federation looking for low hanging fruits by the Avenue guided by the 4th Floor boys now grown men with beards via a hard core PAP cadre ensconced in the UMNO NSTP Chief Editor’s Chair with the Nation losing 1,000,000 barrels of Saddam Hussein’s oil according to the UN Report.

     Beginning from 2004 to 2018, OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S LOSSES WERE ALL ONE WAY ON THE ROAD TO SINGAPORE eg. black 1MDB money, rocks, steel rails, precious landed assets ended up as 1/2 an office building, pay to deliver free water to Singapore, even eager eagles flew in to feast on the rotten carcass,

     Our beloved Malaysia even signed her own DEATH WARRANT the Malaysia/Malays Killer the TPPA/CPTPP. Lee Kuan Yew definitely had a good laugh with his hard core cadres ! So easy !

     This was saved by the brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the last minute on 9 May 2018. NEVER AGAIN !

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     2. ” NEW COURT FOR CORRUPTION CASES ”

     The faster the New Court is established the better. The crooks cannot be permitted to walk around on bail as though nothing had happened. This Court must let the full force of the Law on whoever was responsible for stealing the Rakyat’s money that CRIME DOES NOT PAY. A minimum deterrent sentence should be at least 10 years upwards.

     3 & 4 ” NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR KEDAH ”

     The new international airport actually serves the North right down to Tanjong Malim to the South and Kelantan and Trengganu to the East.

     THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ANNOUNCED BY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT SO FAR whilst the previous announcements were steps in cleaning the Augean Stables.

     We must go back to basics.

     After the arrival of the British in 1779, Pulau Pinang was ceded and Kedah suppressed until recent times.

     A joint Kedah-Pulau Pinang Development Council should now be formed to facilitate faster, cheaper and bigger developments in the two States because they are now political fellow bed mates. The BN State Government did not use their brains after Tun Dr Lim Chong Yew in the 1970s..

     Now our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad takes up where the BN Government left over 10 years ago. Imagine those BN over-educated fellows did no thinking from the 1970s to the 21st Century- 2008 – 30 years ! Remarkable !

     Pulau Pinang elites should now think like a BOSS and not like in the Opposition.

     And discard the Lee Kuan Yew’s Model based on his Black Under Counter Arms Trades etc during the Cold War 1949-1989.

     By adopting the Lee Kuan Yew’s Model based on plenty of hard cash, the Pulau Pinang State Government had been running around for over 10 years trying to emulate the Lee Kuan Yew’s Model without success causing hill slides and flooding by pouring more concrete to the angst of its citizens.

     Without the tons of hard cash from illicit Black Trades, there is definitely no success for Pulau Pinang because all its projects must be based on LOANS which viability must eventually based on the surplus revenue garnered by the State which has NONE.

     IT IS REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL TO DISCARD LEE KUAN YEW’S MODEL FOR PULAU PINANG BECAUSE SINGAPORE’S REAL MIRACLE WAS NOT LEE KUAN YEW BUT THE HUGE AND PROFITABLE BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989. Hence, the present Pulau Pinang Development is a Non-Starter based on FALSE ASSUMPTIONS !.

     THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL IDEAS TO TURN PULAU PINANG INTO THE NUMERO UNO OF THE HOLIDAY RESORTS OF THE WORLD BRINGING BOUNTIFUL JOBS AND MORE REVENUE TO THE STATE. To follow Lee Kuan Yew’s Model is a dead-end.

     Because the brains have been numbed by Lee Kuan Yew’s apparent Miracle, no new ideas can come out of the present mind-set until they see the LIGHT which does not require much money, easy to do, clean and fast for the benefit of all the Rakyat.

     See the danger of brainwashing. on naïve minds or mind-sets.

     THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY FOR PULAU PINANG AND KEDAH TO GO – IT IS TO JOIN HANDS FOR THE MUTUAL DEVELOPMENT OF BOTH STATES AND BEYOND. The North will boom within 10 years when the Isthmus of Kra Canal will be announced and for the whole country too.

     Our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has the mind-set together with his Adviser(s) to turn the North into a bonanza for development. Another of his good Concepts but this time WITHOUT THE CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES !

     5, 6 & 7. ” ” PROTECT OUR FORESTS LIQUID GOLD.”

     Wrong ! It should be protect our forests liquid silver.

     Water is the liquid GOLD for now and the future. Our country has been treating the value of WATER too lightly. Our water pipes are old and leak everywhere due to corruption and lack of care and enforcement as though water is a gift. Too much water is wasted by the use of asbestos pipes.

     A 25 YEAR PLAN WHICH IS SACROSANCT TO POLITICAL MEDDLING SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE AND MONITORED BY THE PM OFFICE, THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT & THE MINISTRY OF TRADE & INDUSTRY NOW.

     Our Rakyat should be taught not to waste water beginning from the schools upwards as it is essential for LIFE and our future progress. Soon many countries will require WATER from us.

     IN ANTICIPATION AS WELL AS OUR OWN NATIONAL INTEREST, OUR WATER RESOURCES SHOULD BE SAFEGUARDED, ENHANCED AND IMPROVED UPON BECAUSE EVERY LIQUID DROP IS LIQUID GOLD. And our revered Constitution amended thus in support :-

     ” NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE SOLD, TRANSPORTED OR EXPORTED OUTSIDE THE FEDERATION EXCEPT FOR THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE ” A new and huge business in the offing.

     8. ” BANKS TOLD TO BE FLEXIBLE IN LENDING ”

     Since the days of the distinguished BNM Gabenor Tun Ismail bin Mohd. Ali, the banks have too much influence outside their areas of business.

     It was alleged in The Star ‘Letter to the Editor’ 25 June 2018 that financial interests stunted the revision of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 which dare not do this in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australian. As a result there are now 2 Bankruptcy Acts – the old with the over 400,000 bankrupts including over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts locked in and the new which only began to function after October 2017.

     A ridiculous state of public affairs in which outside meddling of the Government created unfair Laws at the behest of the financial interests to punish instead of giving the Malay and Non-Malay young bankrupts (over 250,000) a second chance like Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA 2004-2018 ?

     9. ” EPF MAY CEASE TO EXIST ”

     Why does the New EPF Management indulge in racy and futuristic comments of NO CONSEQUENCE ?

     I would have thought the EPF Management in charge of Trust money should treat the MONEY under its care in an abstract, stoic, staid and conservative manner with all due respect.

     Please do not forget, the EPF is the Nation’s biggest Trust and began its LIFE as a Trust. I was there twice, 1968-1974 and 1984. Then, the EFP performed strictly as a Trust with its profits evaluated by the Treasury’s actuary before a dividend was declared. All surplus was invested in Treasury Bills.

     10. ” WAN AZMI ENTERS E & O AGAIN ”

     This is a major piece of good news from the business World.

     The most significant since Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s retirement in October 2003.

     Wan Azmi enjoyed doing business and has the right mind-set to do so. His investment is significant as he said, ” Cycles come. Cycles go.” In Malaysia a cycle lasts about 7-10 years. His timing is perfect. I reckon it will take-off in the second half of 2019.

     ALL THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO IS TO REMOVE RESTRICTION ON THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY BY A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL ! It is not for the banks to say so. Because if they do not comply, no Government is going to take out the chestnuts in the fire for them !

     There is no way but to enlarge the pool of domestic buyers for properties in Malaysia at the RIGHT TIME. And CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME !

     And with the first stirrings of serious infra developments in the North and further better news on the state of the finances of the Government, I strongly believe Batman without Robin has hit the mark right on the target.

     Foreign (Singapore) investments will rush in. The CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IS THE FAVOURITE OF ANY GOVERNMENT TO LEAD THE ECONOMY’S RECOVERY. We all like the Rakyat to make money.

     11. ” SINGAPORE PARIS HK THE WORLD’S MOST COSTLY CITIES ”

     Singapore has a problem. Paris and Hong Kong are cities in a much larger country. Singapore is a stand alone city-state which has no resources, human or natural. She lives by jacking up land values for revenue purposes. How high can Singapore go with a Leadership without colour or oomph ?

     12. ” ELITE SCHOOLS TO RISE AGAIN ”

     How many Malaysians recall that the Tunku’s Minister of Education changed the Education Policy around 1969 without Cabinet’s approval and disappeared into the Sarawak woods and could not be found ?

     From this point onwards, education was politicised and the standards began to drop especially in the University of Malaya from the 1970s onwards. With the education standards now more or less stabilised, it is an opportune time to focus again on elite schools which should be as many as possible throughout the Federation.

     India was wise not to meddle with the English language after her Independence in 1947. Her bulwark of strength is from her 350 million Indians. Where are you Lee Kuan Yew with 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50 ? India’s progress in the hi-tech field is from her strength in the English language not forgetting she has over 300 dialects to deal with. Kudos to her Leadership since 1947.

     Kudos to our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for his interest in a much forgotten important subject – the elite schools. IN FACT BETWEEN 2004-2018, THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES RLIMINATED ELITE SCHOOLS OF DECADES OLD STANDING. A country looks funny with only SMKs all round !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Your WAY is the RIGHT WAY WITHOUT THE CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES. SUCCESS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER BECAUSE MALAYSIA IS THE BEST FOR INVESTORS ALWAYS.

166. Tun

     I think I am the culprit who woke up the pair of resident bulbuls in the young banyan tree every morning, Mondays to Fridays. I noticed that as soon as I opened the front door, my feather friends began to chirp and a minute or two later burst in full song. What a Life to observe other lives living amongst us, human beings in our beloved Malaysia !

     And this morning, Monday, the Opposition media has run out of headlines after they failed to draw you out on the Johor MB’s visit to Batam which I know Singaporeans visit for other esoteric reasons.

     I am not deterred by the lack of catchy headlines. Therefore I create my own based on my recent comments on Lee Kuan Yew, a most fascinating man dominated a most fascinated subject of his own creation, ‘ HE CREATED HIMSELF !’

     ” A RESPECTED SURVEY COMPARED MALAYSIA AND SINGAPORE FUTURES WHICH REVEALED SINGAPORE’S AS VERY BLEAK .’

     The Cold War 1948-1989 was the largesse for the main beneficiary Singapore. Lee Kuan Yew was the RIGHT PERSON, AT THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE. This could be confirmed that even Richard Nixon paid a visit there and later commented,’ Big Man in a Small Place. ‘ – so effective was Lee Kuan Yew in the realm Bluffology or BS presentation.

     But we must not forget that throughout the Cold War and now and the future of Singapore, she has not a drop of water. Even the attempts by HYFLUX to do something special created an unholy mess. But this does not mean that Singapore which gets its water subsidised by poor Malaysia will profit by the 1962 Water Agreement.

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     As the GDP showed, Singapore has reached a stage of development that even free water does not benefit her one iota due to the fact that her huge Wealth from the past, the Cold War (1948-1989) pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First in the 1990s.

     This is the nub of Singapore’s dilemma and problem today.

     A HUGE MOUNTAIN OF CASH FROM THE BLACK TRADES OF THE COLD WAR BALLOONED A SMALL POPULATION TO THE FIRST WORLD STATUS !

     And without the recurrent paper money revenue of the Cold War and no resources human and natural, how to keep her First World status in the air ? Especially with a FT population of 1.2 Million and a PR of 800,000 ! The real indigenous Singaporeans are only 3.2 Million with 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50. There is a complete absence of a genetic pool to produce geniuses. Hence, Singapore’s Leadership after 2 generations lacks colour and oomph !

     Singapore’s prominent Foreign Minister S. Rajaratnam an ex=Malaysian who looked like a Foreign Minister (if the cap fit wear it) wrote a 2 part article in the Singapore Business Times in the early 1980s comparing Singapore with Athens and Sparta. He came to the conclusion that city States like Sparta could not exist like Goa, Pondicherry, Gibraltar, Palembang, Hong Kong etc.

     At the height of Lee Kuan Yew’s Black Under Counter Arms Trades and all the other illicit trades at the end of the Cold War (1948-1989), Singapore was in the following with Lee Kuan Yew :-

     1. LEE KUAN YEW

     2. The Hard and Soft Arms Trades – This was the crème de la crème of all illicit trades. The fellow who owned the Soft Arms Factory, Singapore told me,’ A very good business because people fight all the time.’

     3. Money Laundering. – Financial centres like Singapore and Hong Kong were the nearest to all the South East Asian black trades.

     4. Toadying up to dictators. From the end of World War 2 to until recently, only Malaysia and now Indonesia were not under dictatorships and have sustainable democracies. It is logical to connect (2) and (3) in this respect.

     5. Sanctions breaking with China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East and Africa. Myanmar was a client since the 1960s.

     6. Collecting US War debris in Vietnam. A Eurasian Singaporean boasted about this. He could only have worked for Lee Kuan Yew.

     7. United States R & R, air base and bunkering facilities. United States Aid, Lend Lease and corporate investments pertaining to Lee Kuan Yew’s 1962 Secret Treaty with the United States.

     8. Smuggling. This revenue is unstable depending on the host governments. This sinecure activity made Lee Kuan Yew to push for the COMPLETE BREAKDOWN OF MALAYSIA’ TARIFF BARRIER VIA THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER TPPA/CPTPP ! Singapore’s Nirvana !

     The above-mentioned goodies for Singapore were at the height in 1989. But now in 2019 after the BRICS GRABBED SINGAPORE’S LUSH TRADES AND WITHOUT LEE KUAN YEW, the following remained but exposed to extreme competition, thanks to Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel, “Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights” which back fired on him, thus

     1. Money Laundering. This is now done all over the World. The latest being in Scandinavia.

     2. Smuggling. This belongs to the 20th Century. One reason why Lee Kuan Yew wants to block the Isthmus of Kra Canal and save Singapore Harbor.

     3. Sanctions breaking. An activity sometimes supervised by the United Nations unlike the Cold War (1948-1989) when only a phone call from Lee Kuan Yew to the White House could sort out any hiccups.

     4. Toadying up to dictators. Dictators are few and far between these days and are not that loaded as in the past.

     5. United States support. This has always been in Singapore. But with President Trump’s exclusive Policies, this can only mean less goodies for Singapore. Is the 1962 Secret Treaty or Agreement between Lee Kuan Yew and the US in jeopardy ?

     These 5 points still accrue to Singapore’s hidden revenues but its tiny. Unlike the BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES IN HARD AND SOFT ARMS FOR SINGAPORE DURING THE COLD WAR – 1948-1989 !

     With the loss of the Black Under Counter Trades in Arms to the BRICS and the exposure of Singapore’s hard-earned reserves in the international market place like any hoi-polloi without regards to her Sovereignty and National Interest which is egged along by the Gnomes of Zurich, THE FUTURRE OF SINGAPORE IS BLEAK, VERY BLEAK.

     And the hara-kiri of demographics which Lee Kuan Yew first initiated in 1972 and then tried to rectify with FTs in the 1990s to boost the GDP PUTS SINGAPORE’S FUTURE IN AN INESCAPABLE STRAIT JACKET OF NO RETURN !

     AS A LAST DITCH EFFORT TO LEAVE AN ENDURING LEGACY TO HIS INHERITORS, LEE KUAN YEW CONJURED UP 4 INITIATIVES TO FILL IN THE HUGE COLD WAR VOID CREATED BY THE BRICS eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, FTs imports, 2 casinos and the special Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP. ALL FAILED.

     Singapore now lives in a World OF HER OWN UNLIKE DURING THE COLD WAR (1948-1989) with her Policies of Lee Kuan Yew of the 20th Century. However, as I said before THERE ARE STILL 3 IDEAS TO SAVE THE SINGAPORE OF LEE KUAN YEW ;-

     1. SINGAPORE’S EXCELLENT GOVERNMENT (though bloated) AND CIVIL SERVICE.

     2. LEE KUAN YEW’S CREDITS AND GOOD WILL WITH THE SUPER POWERS OF THE WORLD FORGOTTEN. The Singaporean elites despite their love of displaying their cleverness, FORGOT ABOUT LEE KUAN YEW MOST IMPORTANT LEGACY FOR THEM AND SINGAPORE. THEY FORGOT FOR 25 YEARS TO UTILISE THIS IMPORTANT ASSET AND GOT DISTRACTED WITH 14 YEARS OF OBSESSION WITH MALAYSIA AFTER OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD PREMIERSHIP 1981-2003. Time is of the essence. This is why I said Malaysia was a dangerous time and money wasting place for Singapore. In the end, Singapore got a couple of rocks, steel rails, landed assets and a black ringgit or two. Nothing worthwhile.

     The sycophantic Singaporean elites even rushed a publication.’ BIG IDEAS OF LEE KUAN YEW ‘ published in October 2014 which confirmed that the ex-President, the ex-Chief Justice, the ex-Head of Civil Service etc were all his employees in a place where there was no separation between the Executive, Judiciary and Administrative.

     NOW AFTER 9 MAY 2018, MALAYSIA IS ONE OF 4 IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. Where are you, Singapore ?

     Whichever way we toss the dice, Malaysia is always on top with the future of Singapore bleak, very bleak IF THE ELITES STILL CANNOT GET THE IDEAS OUT OF THE DEEP RECESSES OF THEIR BRAINS WHICH OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD CALLS MIND-SET !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as everyone is NORMAL.

     How could the 2 Prime Ministers during the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and their equally corrupt elites between 2004-2018 be conned by Lee Kuan Yew and worshipped Singapore ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE WHICH I HAVE PRESENTED ?

     The Tunku, the Great Statesmand, Tun Abdul Razak, the Good Tun Hussein Onn and your goodself maintained the Sovereignty and National Interest of our beloved Malaysia unlike the two who felled to the clutches of Lee Kuan Yew.

     Here is what it looks like about the character of Lee Kuan Yew from his beginning to the end.

     1. 1940-1951. Lee Kuan Yew always wanted to be the Numero Uno from his Raffles College days. During the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945, whilst working for the Japanese Broadcast Service, he was having Law tuition with the unemployed lawyers of Singapore.

     After the War, he joined LSE first but soon he cheated to enter the lowest rung non-college Fitzwilliam House, University of Cambridge WITHOUT LATIN OR GREEK, DID NOT TAKE THE OPEN ENTRANCE EXAMINATION, AND WAS OVER AGE AT 23.

     His fellow undergraduates were war-weary soldiers. His class probably did not total more than 50 in war torn Britain. In normal times, a Law class numbers 200. The marking of examination papers is by the Bell Curve which is based not on how good a candidate is but on his position in relation to his class-mates. If Lee Kuan Yew was First Class, this does not mean he achieved 100% but the fact that he was only the best of his year of 50 undergraduates according to the Bell Method of marking.

     I should know because I was probably one of the very few if any Malayan who took the Open Examination with 100 marks in each 4 subjects required in 9 months and was recommended by the Chaplain to the Queen at Windsor Castle to his own College of which he was Master and also Vice-Chancellor of the University. At the important Bar Finals London, his wife was 3rd out of 200. He was last. Later my wife was 7th out of 700.

     LEE KUAN YEW CHEATED TO ENTER THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE AND WAS LAST AT THE IMPORTANT BAR FINALS LONDON.

     2. 1959-2015. Lee Kuan Yew’s 47 Fables and Foibles of Failed Public Policies are recorded in http://www.chedet.cc.org Archives, September 2010. ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’

     (i) His creation of the Anti Cambridge Godless Neo Communist Political and Socio-economic System bolstered by his apparatchiks (meritocrats) and the West which was imposed on the citizens without their knowledge. From the beginning, this System was called by the West as ‘authoritarian capitalism’ or ‘benign dictatorship’ (how can a dictatorship be benign ?’ or ‘rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.’ India’s prominent personalities Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen and TJS George opposed Lee Kuan Yew’s Political System in the early 1970s and 1990s.

     (ii) Lee Kuan Yew’s disastrous 2 Child Family Policy of 1972-1984 which is the cause of only 900,000 male Chines aged 21-50 today. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011. Lee Kuan Yew had blood on his hands.

     (iii) The Thaksin Purchase at an over the top price which split Free Thailand into two bitter factions with deaths and injuries to hundreds of innocent Thai men, women and children. And brought on 2 military coup d’états. Lee Kuan Yew had blood on his hands.

     And 44 more Failed Policies of Lee Kuan Yew as recorded in http://www.chedet.cc.org. Archives September 2010.’Malaysia according to Kuan Yew.’

     LEE KUAN YEW HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS POLICIES.

     3. LEE KUAN YEW cheated by DOUBLE DEALING BEHIND THE BACKS OF THE SINGAPOREANS AND MALAYSIANS AS I HAVE COMMENTED IN MY RECENT COMMENTS.

     Therefore, with the solid evidence now before us HOW CAN THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE WORSHIP A CHINESE WHO WAS A CHEAT AND CONMAN ?

     The Chinese are known to be honourable and trustworthy as a people who respect and admire a person of good standing and education. They do not respect and worship crooks or conmen of which Lee Kuan Yew was one !

     And at the turn of the 21st Century, LEE KUAN YEW SAID.’ THIS TIME WHEN THERE ARE RIOTS IN KL. WE WILL GROW BARNACLES IN OUR HEARTS AND WILL NOT OPEN OUR DOORS TO THEM ! ‘ Think Malaysian Chinese on your god Lee Kuan Yew who is now proven to be a DOUBLE DEALER.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

168. Tun

     Further in support of my comment on Lee Kuan Yew’s Double Dealing was the Tunku apt comment when he was asked about Lee Kuan Yew’s infamous crying episode on TV.

     The Tunku significantly commented on Lee Kuan Yew’s crying performance on TV thus, ‘ I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. HE WAS SO VERY HAPPY WHEN HE LEFT ME.’

169. Tun.

     The more I think about Lee Kuan Yew’s Double Dealing behind the backs of all including the Singaporeans and Malaysians, the more this tale seems like a Sherlock Holmes detective mystery.

     Remember the ominous year 1962 ? ALL EVENTS SEEMED TO MEET IN 1962 FOR LEE KUAN YEW !

     1962 – A SIGNIFICANT YEAR FOR LEE KUAN YEW.

     1. Lee Kuan Yew made a big fuss revealing that the CIA tried to bribe him.

     2. Malaya signed the one-sided Water Agreement with Singapore.

     3. Dr Albert Winsemius the UN Economics expert became Advisor to the Singapore Government from 1962-1984. WHO RECOMMENDED HIM ?

     AND WHY LEE KUAN YEW TREATED HIM SO BADLY GIVING HIM ONLY TWO MEDALS OF WHICH ONLY ONE WAS GOLD AND A PIECE OF PARCHMENT PAPER as though there was some other authority behind Dr Albert Winsemius ?

     IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE UNITED STATES BEHIND DR ALBERT WINSEMIUS TO MAKE SURE THE UNITED STATES INVESTMENTS IN SINGAPORE WERE HONESTLY HANDLED AND CLICKED !

     These facts explain the whole mystery of Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle coupled with the hired mercenaries, THE ISRAELIS AND MOSSAD to turn Singapore into a fortress for the West with LEE KUAN YEW AS ITS LEADER. ! Simple.

     4. The Tunku wanted Lee Kuan Yew to get rid of the Leftists by locking them up before the inauguration of Malaysia.

     The most senior Adviser for Counter Insurgency to the Federal Government Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too was despatched to meet Lee Kuan Yew to brief him on the increasing Leftist activity in the Colony. Lee Kuan Yew huddled with Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too and George Bogaars, Head of the Special Branch, Singapore for 2 full days. Tan Sri Dr Too told me Lee Kuan Yew did not know what to do. Shortly thereafter, Operation Coldstore to lock the Leftists was implemented..

     5. Behind the scenes in 1962, Lee Kuan Yew must have been in deep negotiations with the United States on the future of a Rightist Singapore Government under Lee Kuan Yew. The main topic must have been full support from the United States and the freedom to do the BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES IN ARMS AND ALL TRADES UNDER THIS UMBRELLA. Lee Kuan Yew firmed up this Secret Agreement with the United States before joining Malaysia in 1963.

     This SECRET AGREEMENT WITH THE US DEMORATS CONTROLLED UNITED STATES will be interesting because in 2006, Republican controlled United States SPURNED LEE KUAN YEW’S FREE TRADE SCHEME ( MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER TPPA/CPTPP ) ! But in 2009, Democrat controlled United States under Obama took Lee Kuan Yew’s Free Trade Scheme and called it his own TPPA/ CPTPP !

     And part of the SECRET AGREEMENT was the Clause to keep Leftists locked up for LIFE in the interests of the FREE WORLD ! This was then !

     6. Lee Kuan Yew in full confidence with the UNITED STATES SECRET AGREEMENT in his pocket apparently agreed with the Tunku by scribbling the terms of Separation on a piece of envelope. SO CONFIDENT WAS HE TO BE SUCCESSFUL AFTER THE SEPARATION. No Formal Agreement was alright !

     7. Whilst the Malaysians expected Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore to collapse after August 1965, Singapore advanced forwards to the contrary. Her only problem was unemployment. MONEY SINGAPORE HAD PLENTY FROM THE BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES OF ARMS TRADING ETC.

     8. IT SEEMS SINGAPORE’S 1962 SECRET AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES IS ETERNAL THIS RAISES THE QUESTION HOW SINGAPORE TREATS THE UNITED STATES FORMER ENEMIES WHO ARE NOW FRIENDS AND VICE VERSA ?

     9. THE 1962 SECRET TREATY OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN LEE KUAN YEW AND THE UNITED STATES EXPLAINS MANY THINGS LIKE LEE KUAN YEW’S ANTI-CAMBRIDGE GODLESS NEO-COMMUNIST SOCIO-ECONOMIC POLITICAL SYSTEM CONDONED BY THE UNITED STATES, THE THAKSIN PURCHASE WHICH SPLIT FREE THAILAND INTO TWO, TEMASEK ADVENTURES IN WALL STREET, AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN SINGAPORE TODAY, THE BLACK UNDER COUNTER ARMS TRADES OF THE COLD WAR (1948-1989)etc.

     But Singapore changed its demographics in recent years. In future, Singapore might be part of the Indian Commonwealth. How ?

     The Mystery of the Impossible Success of Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle is now beginning to unravel. A very interesting case of Double Dealing.

     MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem for us Malaysians.

170. Tun

     I always woke up on Saturday’s mornings thinking of my task to ferry my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK. But soon I realised that Saturday was a holiday. This relieved my tension which has become instinctive. From the house, I could hear the loud plaintive and haunting cry of the urbanised golden oriole. The dry season is still with us.

     However as usual, ideas flood my mind as vestiges of my night’s slumber diminished concomitantly. And one idea is that it is simple to dismiss the Bluffology or BS of Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle. Here are the facts :-

     From 1948-1989 ( Cold War ), Singapore’s GDP reached a peak of a fizzy 7% with just a collection of tumble-down shop houses and the tallest building was the Cathay Building or the Asia Insurance Building. Coolies were employed to load or unload the ships docked at Keppel Harbour up to 1970s. From this point onwards, Singapore became the No. 1 port of the World.

     From 1990s onwards, Singapore achieved First World status from the Third.

     From 2000-2018, Singapore’s GDP crumbled to below 3% despite the launch of Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives being the ill-conceived Temasek, FTs importation to push the GDP like a string, 2 casinos in a crowded neighbourhood and the ultimate nirvana and Malaysia/Malays Killer, TPPA/CPTPP ! During this period, Singapore increased its stock of skyscrapers and its No.1 port and airport status.

     WHY DID LEE KUAN YEW CONJURE THESE 4 INITIATIVES IF THE SINGAPORE ECONOMY’S BOTTOM DID NOT FALL OUT DUE TO THE SERIOUS LOSS OF THE BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES TO THE BRICS AFTER 1989 ?

     With Singapore stripped naked of her secrets, we can now see that THE BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES OF THE COLD WAR (1948-1989) contributed at least 2-3% to the GDP in support of Singapore’s economy. This made her cash rich but the problem was unemployment which gap was filled by the glittering Singapore we see today eg. Jurong, skyscrapers, hotels etc.

     BUT THE GLARING MIS-MATCH IS THE FACT THAT BETWEEN 1948-1989, SINGAPORE COULD INCURR SURPLUSES IN ITS ACCOUNTS FROM JUST A COLLECTION OF RAMSHACKLE SHOP HOUSES AND AT LEAST UP TO THE 1970s, A STORIED COLONIAL ENTREPORT !

     On the ground in 1970, I was an investor in at least 2 Jurong industrial ventures which I observed that the Singapore Government was keen to keep its citizens ( Malays ) employed. Most of the Jurong industries did not make money. And other companies, office buildings, hotels and condos do not give huge revenues. Tourism and hotels provided further jobs for the populace.

     THEREFORE, IT IS CLEAR VERY CLEAR THAT WHEN SINGAPORE JOINED MALAYSIA, LEE KUAN YEW HAD TWO OPTIONS IN MIND.

     1. Remember Lee Kuan Yew conjured the ‘CIA attempt to bribe him’ fracas.

     WHO KNOWS WHETHER THIS WAS TRUE OR NOT ? THE STORY CAME FROM HIM. THE UNCLE SAM’S BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES DEAL WAS MADE IN 1962 BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTED CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT FROM BRITISH TO LEE KUAN YEW IN A KEY LOCATION FOR UNCLE SAM IN ASIA to battle China. Hence, his life-time of cockiness because of this US support. Like Singapore now ?

     2. Because of the Tunku’s insistence via the Adviser on Counter-Insurgency to the Federal Government, Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too, Lee Kuan Yew locked up all the Leftist in jail via Operation Coldstore in 1962. On this, Tan Sri Dr Too told me that Lee Kuan Yew did not know what to do. Therefore, Lee Kuan Yew did not sort out his moves yet. From this point, he was in full POWER to rule by chance which solved one of his dilemmas. How to deal with the Leftists in his Government ! Without them, his Government was Rightist !

     3. How to wriggle out of this delicate and sensitive position when all and sundry who expect Singapore to join the Federation ?

     4. THE ANSWER WAS TO JOIN THE FEDERATION OF MALAYSIA AND MAKE THINGS DIFFICULT FOR THE MALAYS IN ALL SORTS OF WAYS TO FORCE A BREAK SO THAT SINGAPORE BECOMES INDEPENDENT WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES. At the material time 1963-1965, I followed all Lee Kuan Yew’s shenanigans in the Dewan Rakyat and the 1964 GE rallies in Kuala Lumpur. He certainly made things difficult for the Malays through his speeches.

     5. THIS DOUBLE DEALING BY LEE KUAN YEW TO ACHIEVE HIS OBJECTIVE IS CONFIRMED BY THE FACT THAT THIS DARING MOVE BY HIM COULD HAVE THE BLESSING OF UNCLE SAM AND ALSO VIA DIPLOMATIC MOVES BY THE BRITISH ON THE TUNKU. Do not forget these folks are Anglo-Saxons through and through.

     6. And http://www.citizenonline.com ‘The Albatross Files’ confirms that Lee Kuan Yew threatened the journalists not to show him smiling but crying on TV !

     THE LEE KUAN YEW DOUBLE DEALING STORY COULD ONLY BE ACHIEVED WITH THE POWER OF THE UNITED STATES AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD WAR (1948-1989)

     LEE KUAN YEW WAS A CREATION OF THE COLD WAR. THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME. 1965-1989.

     Now, the collective Singaporean Leadership lacks colour and oomph to fill the BIG SHOES OF LEE KUAN YEW. How ? Bully our beloved Malaysia again ?

     ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY ! No Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP for us. We are proud, strong and united Malaysians, not Singaporeans.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. At that time the following saying was not invented yet !

     THE AMERICANS EASILY FORGET, THE BRITISH TRY NOT TO FORGET. THE FRENCH NEVER FORGET. THE CHINESE NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET. THE MALAYSIANS FORGIVE AND FORGET. Where is the US support for Singapore now ?

171. Tun

     Malaysians have been told by Singapore over and over again that Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle were all those skyscrapers, Changi reclamation, Jurong etc which we can see. But the TRUTH is Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle came from the BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES OF THE COLD WAR (1948-1989) which were :-

     1. The hard and soft arms trades. My friend who manufactured soft arms in Singapore appointed a Libyan agent who could retire to Monte Carlo after 5 years !

     2. Smuggling. Some people thought Singapore’s wealth cam mainly from smuggling in South East Asia. The returns do not jive with the wealth Singapore accumulated which pushed her from the Third World to the First WITHOUT ANY HUMAN EFFORT. It was too easy for a sleepy colonial port with less than 2 million inhabitants to do.

     SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING SPECIAL LIKE THE SOLE RIGHT TO DO THE ARMS TRADE CONDONED BY UNCLE SAM DURING THE COLD WAR (1948-1989). Lee Kuan Yew served Uncle Sam’s purpose and interest during the Cold War but not quite thereafter.

     3. Toadying up to dictators. This is all over the media.

     4. Money laundering. Black money in South East Asia goes to Hong Kong or Singapore. The choice is yours.

     5. Free Vietnam War debris. One Singaporean Eurasian boasted about this in the media. He could only have done it for Lee Kuan Yew !

     6. Sanctions breaking. China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East, Africa with Uncle Sam’s two eyes closed.

     7. US R & R, bunkering, air base, corporate investments etc.

     In 1966, Lee Kuan Yew said, ‘ SOMETIMES YOU MAY HAVE TO TRADE WITH THE DEVIL ‘

     With the World’s Black Under Counter Trades during the Cold War (1948-1989), a very small population of 2 Million still in its colonial cocoon ruled by a honest authoritarian Government, it was a cinch to push Third World Singapore to the First. WE DO NOT NEED A SINGAPOREAN GENIUS OR ROCKET SCIENTIST TO DO THIS !

     THEREFORE FROM THE ABOVE EVIDENCE, THE SINGAPOREAN LINE THAT GLCs MAKE MONEY AS PART OF LEE KUAN YEW’s MIRACLE IS ALL BLUFFOLOGY OR BS. This was brainwashing at its best which the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government swallowed hook, line and sinker !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Malaysia will never do trades which harm others. NEVER !

172. Tun

     I looked towards the far horizon where the sun rose this morning. The distant sky was a pale blood red like the flesh of an Italian orange.

     I told my grand-daughter that today will be hot and dry. This was what my mother told me when I was young. And my feather friends the bulbuls were chirping and singing in the young banyan tree at the front gate. They have been in residence for a few months without feeling of being threatened. This is good for the birds in the neighbourhood. Hopefully more birds will arrive to take up residence.

     And the astounding headline appeared as the NST Leader Editorial this morning thus :-

     ” FOOD AND WATER : BEING PREPARED. TIME FOR KHAZANAH TO USE SOVEREIGN WEALTH TO DEVELOP THESE TWO STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES. ”

     This headline is off the mark altogether. But the substance of the article supporting the headline provided all the essential statistics in support of the food industry and water.

     First, the Khazanah which was established sometime in 1992 had a different purpose from that of 2004-2018. Then the objective was esoteric and confined to a narrow field of investments to serve the Rakyat interests.

     Second, from 2004-2018, Khazanah became a holding company with the sole purpose of MAKING MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT as it was expounded by the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     How to make money for the Rakyat ?

     The Lee Kuan Yew’s GLC Model was copied wholesale and businesses were conducted with no restraint. Letters of comfort and liabilities snowballed. Losses were hidden in all sorts of nooks and corners. This resulted in the exposure of RM 6.4 Billion of losses and impairments recently. This was the proper format and accounting method to begin on a clean slate for the new Management.

     THE GLCs FROM 2004 – 2018 WERE THE CONDUIT TO BY-PASS THE ANNUAL BUDGET OF THE GOVERNMENT. This could be one form of mis-governance with sinister intent to create the total country debt of RM 1 Trillion.

     The main body of Khazanah’s investments at present are the GLCs which brought about the losses of RM 6.4 Billion losses.

     There is no reason whatsoever for embattled Khazanah to invest in food industries and water, both of which are undesirable investments because in the first instance, Khazanah is not a Sovereign Fund per se and in the second instance, food industries and water do not give profitable returns.

     Common sense dictates.

     If Khazanah is involved in the food industries, how can the Government keep the prices of food low according to its political agenda ?

     Water is a utilitarian commodity in a developing country. Only in Singapore, water becomes a big issue. NO WHERE ELSE IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD IS WATER PUT ON A PEDESTAL TO BE WORSHIPPED LIKE IN SINGAPORE !

     AND IS THE NSTP AWARE OF THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF SINGAPORE’S HIGH-FLYIMG HYLUX WITH ITS S$ 2.4 BILLION DEBTS ?

     Third, KHAZANAH SHOULD DISCARD ALL THE GLCs WHICH ARE IN CONFLICT AGAINST THE BUSINESSES IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR BECAUSE WE ARE NOT COMMUNISTS.

     Khazanah is not a Sovereign Fund which name was created by the gnomes of Zurich to butter-up Lee Kuan Yew before the Crash of October 2008. SINGAPORE LOST US$ 108 BILLION ( RM 324 BILLION ) AS A RESULT. The gnomes of Zurich disappeared when Singapore lost this money.

     THERE ARE ONLY 3 REAL SOVEREING FUNDS IN THE WORLD. THE CANADA HERITAGE FUND WAS THE FIRST (1972). THEN NORWAY AND KUWAIT FOLLOWED. All these funds have the purpose of saving the future generations due to the depletion of their natural resources being oil and timber.

     FROM 2004-2018, MALAYSIA’S KHAZANAH WAS A FAKE SOVEREIGN FUND CALLED BY THE SINGAPOREAN PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES AS SUCH. Apart from utilising the vast financial resources of this GLC Empire illegally, these also served the purpose of giving the crones a place in the Sun at the Rakyat’s expense under the guise of making money for the Rakyat. These cronies had a gala time enjoying themselves at the Rakyat’s expense.

     NO TRUE DEMOCRACY AND ITS GOVERNMENT MAKES MONEY FOR THE PEOPLE. This is Lee Kuan Yew’s BLUFFOLOGY OR BS ! How can those in POWER USE THIS POWER TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE PEOPLE ! Think !

     THE PROPER DEMOCRATIC WAY IS FOR THE ELECTED GOVERNMENT TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE MONEY WHICH IS TAXABLE. THIS REVENUE IS THEN UTILISED BY THE GOVERNMENT TO DEVELOP THE INFRAS FURTHER OR PROVIDE BETTER SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS

     ANY DEVIATION OF KHAZANAH’S 1992 DECLARED AIMS BY THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS EQUALLY CORRUPT ELITES IS CORRUPTION AND SELF-SERVING DURING 2004-2018.

     To think that the Khazanah is the right vehicle to deal with food shortages and water is like barking up the wrong tree.

     Khazanah should revert back to its original purpose and SELL OFF ALL THE GLCs because a democratically elected Government has NO RIGHT TO BE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT AND WORK IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH ITS OWN CONSTITUENTS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR – definitely not in the food or water industries. SURE DIE. Once not enough but TWICE !

     IF A PERSON WANTS TO BE A POLITICIAN WITH POWER STICK TO IT BUT DO NOT ENGAGE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY AS WELL WITH THE POWER. This is not DEMOCRATIC but CROOKED.

     Pour le vouz francais Messieurs et Mademoiselles. LET US NOT GET OUR DEMOCRATIC THINKING MESSED UP FOR THE SAKE OF LEE KUAN YEW ! It is not worth it.

     We are Malaysians not Singaporeans ! No GLCs for us. Only authoritarian States Russia, China and Singapore have them. Their GLCs are so corrupt that China is looking for 100 Chinese on the run overseas with the GLC loot amounting to billions of US Dollars !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Is this NSTP Headline concerning Khazanah, MISCHIEVOUS, FAKE OR MISLEADING ? The main body of the Editorial does not support the headline ! WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

173. Tun

     My conscience has caught up with me.

     I have been too serious with my comments. As my elder brother said many years ago, ” You are too financial.’

     Besides, my Singaporean handlers in the huge Ministry of Information, Singapore must be tired of all my old and worn out tales of Lee Kuan Yew’s fables and foibles, 47 of them.

     I have decided to regale all with a few real life jokes from the past being from your 22 year Administration.1981-2003, thus :-

     1. One night at 2 a.m. my friend in Geneva rang me up. I asked, ‘ What is the excitement, David ? He replied ( I could smell the fine wines he had ) ‘ I am having dinner with a young tycoon from Malaysia who claim to be the Malaysian Onassis. His Government gave him billions of ringgits to build an armada to soot down Lee Kuan Yew’s gunboats.’ I replied, ‘ What’s so special about this ?’ David blurted away, ‘ He claims to be Malaysia’s Best Entrepreneur in the Entrepreneurs Club.’ Out of curiosity, I asked, ‘ Is this fellow has a white topi on ?’ ” Yes ! ‘ was his reply. In his heady excitement, David blurted ‘ His companion is something special and owner of a Singaporean art gallery too !’ I was amused on the one hand but sad on the other with the knowledge that the Rakyat’s money was not well-spent ! It’s a small world.

     2. Without courtesy or pleasantries, this commanding fellow who knew nothing about newspapers editing was seated across me at the NSTP Headquarters as its Chief Editor. I was thirsty after I waited one full hour to meet this fellow at his command. He dismissed me in just 5 minutes thus, ‘ You do not vote against Tamarind at Mycom’s meeting.’ I was dismissed abruptly. I sa9d nothing in reply. In my mind, I was curious what this fellow was up to. He is now lying low at his hill-top home taking a busman’s holiday owning a listed company with his initials !

     And who was Tamarind ?

     I was the controlling share-holder of Mycom. But I was squeezed out by this gang of lawyers who got caught in Hitachi when the market crashed in 1985, They were related to the No 2 in charge of Security. I was interested to restructure them. But they were interested to roll me over in their anxiety to get out of an illegal position being lawyers in business with a huge debt – RM 4 Mllion. They were anxious that with my minority stake I could upset their apple cart being the injection of a insurance company in distress by the new player after they played me out. As I was always fully informed, I voted for this venture with both hands because I knew these lawyers would be sued the following day by the gangster who owned it. Indeed, it happened. Eventually, I disentangled myself from this caper.

     My consultant advised me to report them to the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar Council which I never did. I do not believe in going to Courts in business besides they are well-connected. By taking a logical stance, I could reap rich rewards in the years to come. Such is Life. Patience, not emotions carried the day !

     3. ” Ssh ! Ssh ! ” The YB cautioned me to speak more softly as we sat in the cool verandah of this palatial home owned by one of the mightiest in the land. The YB wanted me to restructure his listed company ruined by himself and to meet his important patron. Little did he knew that I knew this powerful person since he was 21. I said nothing throughout.

     4. ” Sch ! Sch ” ” This Tan Sri cautioned me to speak softly. But in this instance we were in an air-conditioned FWD in the driveway of the Prime Minister’s Office Putrajaya. The Tan Sri met the Prime Minister after he beckoned me to wait in his car. I thought this was funny to the extreme that the presence of my friends struck such care in them. I said nothing to the Tan Sri.

     5. ” This is the unkindest cut of all. ” so said this YB after he reneged from purchasing 10% of my Mycom shareholding due to the crash of 1987 ! He accused me of libelling and slandering him on the golf course. How could I ? I was hi-jacked by the Minister of Finance in 1965 to restructure the Selangor Shooting Association from the golf course and never played golf since.

     6. This joke happened in 1966. I had 75% shares in support of my take-over of this listed company in my hands. One day in the midst of the take-over, the phone rang and the voice being the private secretary to an important Minister said, ” I was asked by this Youth Chief to tell you to be careful and not rough in your take-over of this listed company or your days with the Minister will be over ” I knew the score which was the birth of an important institution that year. I replied, ” Please tell So and So that I am in business to do business. I am not in business to harm anyone. Tell him not to worry !” This latter belief I kept to this day. From that day onwards, the three of us became friends. But the biggest loan I got was only RM 23,000. Such is Life with a wry smile !

     7. I consider this the greatest joke of all. I was scolded like a small boy for no reason at all by an assortment of the ennobled personalities in the land. The fact was I knew more about them than they about me in our compartmentalised society. This made Life interesting for me. Discipline and patience are good virtues to sustain a person in Malaysian business Life.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem in this Land full of colourful personalities, big and small.

174. Tun

     Every morning is a good morning in our beloved Malaysia under the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great.

     My mornings these days are even made better by the pair of chirping and singing bulbuls in the young banyan tree on my door-step accompanied by the plaintive and haunting cry of the urbanised golden oriole perched in a high tree-top. These wonderful mornings made my day. What I missed were the tick-tock sounds of the night jar at night which sent me to a deep slumber as a boy. This seemed to have gone forever from the centre of Kuala Lumpur. The price of progress ?

     The headlines which make my World goes round, thus :-

     1. ” PENANG FACTORIES CUT JOBS. ”

     2. ” SELL OR GET A PARTNER FOR MALAYSIA AIRLINES ”

     3. ” FOREIGNERS CAUSING TB A MYTH ”

     4. ” TYRE FACTORY OWNER TO BE CHARGED FOR CHEMICAL DUMPING TODAY. ”

     1. The present Pulau Pinang model for socio-economic development is out-of-place because it is apparently based on the Singapore Model which only worked with the huge influx of money from its Black Under Counter Arms Trade etc of the Cold War (1948-1989). Hence the claim that Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle came from all those glittering skyscrapers, sea reclamation etc which we now see, is FALSE.

     All the infrastructures we see today in Singapore came from the advice of the UN Economics Expert Dr Albert Winsemius, the Adviser to the Singapore Government from 1962-1984. For political reasons , his name and his advice were suppressed until only in 2017, a small lane was named in his honour.

     Hence, the Pulau Pinang Model is based on false assumptions and bound to fail because Singapore’s real success did not come from all those glittering structures we see today eg. Changi reclamation, etc.

     A New and Innovative Model is a must for Pulau Pinang which has been beating around the bush of socio-economics for at least 10 years !

     2. MAS lost its National Status when Air Asia was successfully established without a Monopoly.

     The problem of MAS to this day is the chronic mismanagement arising from a heavy political overlay which killed the goose which laid the golden egg.

     MAS was probably the first GLC owned by the Malaysian Government. MAS should have made money from day one of its separation from MSA. It did not.

     By the 1980s, I bumped into that MAS fellow with the round eyes and curly hair in the lift of a luxury flat behind Harrods, London. He pretended not to see me by looking at the ceiling of the 4 persons lift. So did I. For those interested, this luxury block of flats is the one with the fountain at the entrance along Sloan Street, London.

     Besides, there was another fellow who not only took-over the MAS but also its lady director as well. He built a special glass house using MAS money along Cromwell Road, London between Heathrow and Harrods. He has got style in his own manner using MAS money.

     To top these true tales of MAS, there was another fellow who adorned the MAS office with fake Modern Art bought with MAS money in a frenzy of travelling between KL and London on MAS planes, of course !. There was another GLC where the fellow bought not only the fake art but the curator as well in Singapore, of course !

     If MAS was managed like this in the past, IT IS BETTER TO ” SELL OR GET A PARTNER FOR MAS.” as the pundit said.

     MAS is no longer a National Airline with the successful arrival of Air Asia. IIH is another candidate for the Rakyat to recover their money who cannot rely on fakes to make money for them.

     3. Kudos to the Director of the Institute of Respiratory Diseases for highlighting the dangers of TB amongst the populace.

     TB is not the only danger but also malaria, dengue and other tropical disease from Africa. The Minister of Health should be on guard in this new World of fast and unrestricted travel throughout the World.

     TB and Malaria are dangerous because sometimes it is resistant to the drugs commonly used.

     I am not aware of the existence of an Institute of Tropical Epidemiology in Malaysia. With the New and Incorruptible Government, modern Tropical Medical Advances should be right up to the mark for our Malaysia and her peoples. Prevention is better than cure.

     4. Kudos to the newly married Minister who was at the toxic scene in Johor soon after the tragic event. Kudos to the State officials and the relevant authorities as well.

     Catch the culprits. Charge them in Court. 3 strokes of the rotan.

     This tragedy affecting innocent men, women and children should be given the full effect of the Laws.

     From 2004-2018, 14 years of all-out Corruption by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites have brought down the standards, ethics etc of years of hard-work down to zero base. We can now only go up as a result.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     For those readers who want to know more about my comments on Lee Kuan Yew, I suggest they refer to http://www.chedet.cc.org. Archives. September 2010 ‘Malaysia according to Kuan Yew.’

176. Tun

     To this very day, I do not understand why the Malaysian Chinese in their best logic and senses keep away from commenting on the fables and foibles of Lee Kuan Yew especially the Chinese Media.

     Without knowing the TRUTH, the Malaysian Chinese cannot progress forward but always held back by fear whatever this fear means.

     One thing I know for sure is that their fear of antagonising him is because of their interests in Singapore whether in the form of human or material related to them in Singapore.

     Stranger still, no a single Malaysian Chinese except for myself dare not let out a single squeak of their view of him.

     But there was one who told me the TRUTH a long time ago. He was the most Senior Adviser on Counter-insurgency to the Federal Government, Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too who was a Raffles College mate of Lee Kuan Yew. I asked him in the 1960s what he thought of Lee Kuan Yew. He replied, ‘ HE IS A THUG !’

     I first met a Singaporean, our Malay driver in December 1941. As a boy, I wandered into his quarters at lunch time. I noticed he was cooking a white tuber which emanated a strong smell, for his lunch – ubi kayu or tapioca. It was not rice.

     In 1948, my elder sister, her aunt and myself were in a jam-packed bus travelling along South Bridge Road, Singapore. A Chinese vernacular school boy dressed in a white uniform with epaulettes stood up and gave his seat to my aunt. This impressed me to this day.

     My awareness was further aroused when my elder brother married Lee Kuan Yew’s only sister Monica in October 1951 in Singapore. I did not attend as I was preparing for an important examination.

     My mother returned with tales of the Lee Family house at 38, Oxley Road was not lived in . She was upset when she was pushed aside to the back by Lee Kuan Yew at the wedding reception at Raffles Hotel even though she should have been at the head of the queue instead of the up-start Lee Kuan Yew. From this point onwards, the Lee Family overwhelmed my brother even though they were quite ordinary personalities like my brother.

     By 1954, I met the Singaporeans who were all parachuted into the university and my very first Malay friends. I did not mind the Singaporeans being brash and flashy. What I did not like was they were lobbying every year to be head of the CUMA even though in the minority. In my final year, I organised and threw the whole lot of Singaporeans out and could maintained control as long as I was in the UK.. After my time, the CUMA had always been controlled by the Singaporeans to influence unsuspecting Malaysians there. I also observed that the PAP cadres were active in Malays Hall Bryanston Square, London in 1957 by fraternising with the young Malays in KMUK. This was yesterday.

     In 1956, I met Lee Kuan Yew for the first and only time at a dinner reception at the Long Bar of the University Arms Hotel. He was in a slick tuxedo and I was in a crumpled Burton suit. He glared at me and asked,’ Are you George’s brother ?’ I replied ‘Yes !’ That was the first and last of a meeting for a lifetime. Thereafter I absented myself from two family wedding dinners and one important Singapore inaugural exhibition sponsored by me.

     As a Malaysian, a Constitutional Conformist, not a Communalist, I just could not accept the fables and foibles of Lee Kuan Yew concerning Malaysia.

     I have nothing personal against him and never said anything on this.

     It is his Policies towards Malaysia which bugged me.

     POLICIES WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT TO HIS GREATER ADVANTAGE AND SINGAPORE’S. His 47 Failed Public Policies showed he did not benefit form his highest academic achievement at Cambridge, The sad thing is Lee Kuan Yew never learnt HOW TO THINK at Cambridge and after he left its portals. From then on, his thoughts and actions were just like any other ordinary person – forever trying to be the NUMERO UNO !

     Yet MALAYSIA IS NOW ONE OF FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA !

     OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WHO USED HIS BRAIN ALL THE TIME AND THINK OF DOING THE RIGHT THINGS. As Tun said ” It’s the mind-set ”

     In the case of Tun, his concepts were never at fault but in every case without exception, he was let down by his CROOKED closest aides who crossed the red line. I can say this because I was the first and did not cross the red line of no return – there was no scandal.

     Unlike our Tun, Lee Kuan Yew doggedly pursued his own beliefs which never left the sanctum of the great university whERE he studied but never learnt how to think ! With such a background, Lee Kuan Yew went all the way for Singapore and his inheritors to their present position eg. NO WATER. NO GOLD. NO NEW RABBITS OUT OF THE PROVERBIAL HAT.

     All these confirmed by the apparent sharp retorts concerning minor issues. This is just a cover-up of insecurity and the lack of confidence without Lee Kuan Yew.

     My sister who was a college mate of Lee Kuan Yew confirmed that his character had always been brash and wanted to be the NUMERO UNO always. I would attribute this to his atheist’s beliefs, a common trait amongst most Malaysian Chinese today.

     As our Tun has stressed that it is important to have a proper mind-set. Lee Kuan Yew had shown that without a proper mind-set, great mistakes could be made by those with the POWER to do so. This fault of Lee Kuan Yew created 47 Public Failed Policies – his Fables and Foibles of a Life-time.

     UNTIL THE MALAYSIAN CHINESE THINK IN A CONSTITUTIONAL CONFORMIST MANNER, MAY BE THEN THEY CAN SEE REAL LEE KUAN YEW CLEARLY AND SPEAK OUT ACCORDINGLY.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Glory, great leaders and empires are built from mind-sets or ideas, NOT FROM MONEY MONEY MONEY !

177. Tun

     A good morning to all.

     I am happy this morning because my feather friends the resident bulbuls in the young banyan tree began chirping and singing again at 7 a.m. sharp. They were missing yesterday. But they returned. Where did they go yesterday ? And how did they find their way back ? Intriguing questions for the curious minded.

     The distant plaintive and haunting calls of the urbanised golden oriole could be heard from a high tree-top. A Malaysian morning crowded by flora and fauna. Where else but Malaysia ?

     Singaporean news are coming over the Causeway in increasing volume daily.

     The collective Leadership is trying to emulate their Father Figure of old in the 21st Century. This is typical of a collective political Leadership to appease all concerned. How did Singapore get into this mess is easy to understand ?

     The decades of easy wealth accumulated from the Black Under Counter Trades in hard and soft arms etc which pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First, was the cause of her present dilemma.

     Suddenly Singapore’s lush Black Under Counter Trades were grabbed by the BRICS after the Cold War (1948-1989). But before this Lee Kuan Yew was the blue-eyed boy of the West who was permitted to be the ONLY ONE who could do the Black Under Counter Trades with Uncle Sam’s eyes closed. Fast trek from the peak of Singapore’s achievements at the end of the Cold War to to-day’s headlines thus :-

     1. ” SINGAPORE REFUTES CLAIMS THAT ACQUISITION OF F-35 FIGHTER JETS IS TO ALIGN ITSELF WITH US.”

     Is this fake news manufactured for a purpose ? Singapore can have as many squadrons of Lend-Lease super jets. It is a given amongst Asian nations that Singapore is already an ally of the US. How ? Forgot ? Remember the SEATO Defence Treaty ? Hence, historical facts play a vital part in exposing Singapore’s Bluffology or BS to all.

     Logically, if Singapore is already an ally of the US, WHY SHOULD SHE WASTE MONEY TO BUY MORE JETS ? I see this as an indecisive move by the Leadership which dared to buy only a couple of jets which is neither here nor there. Strange ways to deter Malay Threats which could only come from the sea ! How does China feel about all these ? She is too big to care !

     2. ” MALAYSIA PAID RM 2.4 BILLION TO DELIVER FREE WATER TO SINGAPORE ”

     This has been the case since the beginning when Lee Kuan Yew did the baksheesh concerning the 1962 Water Agreement. The price of water around the World is standard. Singapore is only shirking its INTERNATIONAL RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING THIS.

     Even with free water Singapore WITHOUT THE LEE KUAN YEW BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES IN HARD AND SOFT ARMS ETC, is sliding down the gravy train rapidly despite all attempts to reverse the slide.

     With a large portion of the huge money reserves from the Cold War (1948-1989) now lost through the hands of the gnomes of Zurich and whatever is left, it is now a scenario of diminishing returns especially concerning the oil industry, Singapore is squeezed into the tightest corner possible.

     China is the main cause of reducing the virtual size of Singapore through her attractiveness to all investors. Then, the neighbouring countries are all doing their own things within their confines., What is left for Singapore ? NOTHING.

     This is compounded by the fact that there will be no more white rabbits coming out of the proverbial hat. A very bleak scenario indeed for Singapore now ruled by a collective Leadership. A collective Leadership to rule over only 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50. Vide. Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population 2011.

     Even if Singapore is flooded with FREE WATER, her potential in taking advantage of opportunities to realise big revenues is gone forever because of just one mistake. NOT TO INVEST IN GOLD UP TO 4,000 TONS IN THE 1980s WHEN SINGAPORE WAS FLUSHED WITH MONEY.

     Lee Kuan Yew being a human being forgot Singapore has NO NATURAL RESOURCE NOT EVEN WATER. THEREFORE SINGAPORE MUST HAVE A NATURAL RESOURCE WHICH GIVES IT LEVERAGE AND POWER TO BATTEN DOWN MALAYSIA AND PULL HERSELF UP TO THE SUPER POWERS OF THE WORLD ! He forgot. Now the Singaporeans suffer for his NARCISSISM AND UPPITY WAYS !

     The price of GOLD is now US$ 2,000 per ounce. It was less than US$ 300 in the 1980s.

     THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SINGAPORE TO RULE THE WORLD WITH THE UNITED STATES IS NOW GONE FOREVER.

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     MALAYSIA IS NOW ONE OF FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

     The New and Incorruptible Government led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI and the Team by his side will fashion sound Policies concerning Foreign Affairs, Socio-economics, Humanities etc to put our beloved Malaysia onto the higher levels of human endeavour with the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India, and Good Governance Japan. Where are you, Singapore ? Still dreaming about your 3 Malaysian sens for 1,000 gallons of Malaysian water ?

     3. ” THERESA MAY’S REVISED DEAL DEFEATED IN PARLIAMENT ”

     In 1976, it was easy for Britain to enter the EU. I was aghast that Britain did so with the historical fact that she fought so many wars on the Continent. Nearly every one other country was her former enemy. Yet she threw the Commonwealth overboard by this act.

     42 years later, Britain found that all her iconic institutions were being threatened by foreign influence. She voted to get out of the EU. Now she found to her horror that it is extremely difficult to get a good deal to exit. And we are talking about one of the most developed and educated groups in the World.

     Let the lesson of Britain and the EU for our eager proponents of the Lee Kuan Yew’s TPPA/CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer which as I have explained had only ONE MAIN FUNCTION which is to BREAKDOWN THE TARIFF BARRIER FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF SINGAPORE LABELLED OR RE-LABELLED TO FLOOD THE MALAYSIAN MARKETS AS THE FIRST STEP. And enslave our beloved Malaysia as the second step through the provision of loans to the now besieged incumbent Malaysian Government of the day.

     The scanty 1962 Water Agreement could cover so many points in Lee Kuan Yew’s favour. THE TPPA/CPTPP HAS 50 VOLUMES OF LEGALESE. This shows Lee Kuan Yew’s INTENTION TO LOCK UP OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS A SLAVE COLONY OF SINGAPORE FOREVER. To Lee Kuan Yew, the Chinese, Indians and all do not count in his estimation.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

178. Tun

     On your Royal Address in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday before our Yang Di-Pertuan Agong and the distinguished audience, I was intrigued by certain gems which were incorporated in your speech.

     The YBs in your Team would do well to study in detail how to present cogent points or facts in a properly manner as befits a YB in the citadel of POWER and not behave like a sam-seng in some wet market.

     Your speeches have always intrigued me because of their originality and the expressions of thought, serious thoughts expressed in a light hearted way. This is the WAY to go for the sycophantic YBs to express themselves meaningfully always to the Rakyat.

     The Art of effective communication is the most important weapon in a Public Servant’s repertoire. And no capital is involved but a bit of focus and home-work.

     Let us hope from now onwards, the YBs of the New and Incorruptible Government will provide us with intriguing speeches for the next 61 years and not 61 months.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and your good-self. The World will smile with you.

     The most misleading and eye-catching headline today from the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, thus

     ” CPTPP : INVESTORS VIEWS COUNT.”

     This is the most misleading headline on a subject which is dear to the hearts of all Singaporeans who are incarcerated in the tiny tropical isle of Singapore.

     This Malaysia Killer/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP is the creation of Lee Kuan Yew to BREAK DOWN THE TARIFF DOOR OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA SO THAT SINGAPORE LABELLED OR RE-LABELLED GOODS COULD FLOOD INTO THE FEDERATION.

     This flood will kill all our small businesses and cast out thousands of citizens from their jobs. This will bring the downfall of any incumbent Government. Chaos will reign.

     Singapore has successfully turned our beloved Malaysia into her Slave Colony by Malaysia’s own hand.

     To ratify this TPPA/CPTPP MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER WILL BE THE GREATEST HARA-KIRI THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. The Malaysians sacrificed themselves FOR NOTHING IN THEIR OWN INTERESTS BECAUSE OF THE TREACHERY OF THEIR POLITICAL LEADERSHIP AND ITS GOVERNMENT CIVIL SERVICE.

     Here is the genesis of this sordid tale of treachery and double dealing by Lee Kuan Yew in his own interest and Singapore. His legacy for his inheritors – a huge captive country full of natural resources and market for the everlasting benefit of Singapore but inhabited by Malaysians who are happy-go-lucky and cannot care a damn for their own self-respect and survival.

     When the Cold War collapsed in 1989, Lee Kuan Yew had already been involved in the Black Under-Counter Trades since 1962. The year when he conducted a CIA sandiwara made for two.

     With the increasing momentum of the Cold War, this Black Under Counter Trades grew concomitantly. The Black Trades were condoned by Uncle Sam for 2 reasons, the strategic importance of Singapore and the impeccable credentials to the West of Lee Kuan Yew after he locked up the Leftists during the 1962 Coldstore Operation at the insistence of the Tunku via his Adviser, the Counter-Insurgency expert Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too.

     The Black Trades were Hard and Soft Arms Trades, Money Laundering, Toadying up to dictators, Sanctions breaking of China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East and Africa, Collecting Vietnam War debris free, Smuggling, US R & R, bunkering and air base. US corporate investment etc. This was Lee Kuan Yew’s real Miracle not those glittering skyscrapers you see today.

     The huge profits accrued to a small population of 2 Million ruled by a honest authoritarian Government pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First by the 1990s.

     This was Lee Kuan Yew’s Dilemma when Singapore’s lucrative Black Under counter Trades were taken over by the BRICS after Uncle Sam’s hegemonic spiel. ‘ Globalization. Free Trade. Human Rights ‘ which eventually back-fired on him.

     With the bleak scenario of a void of a once lucrative global market, Lee Kuan Yew faced the prospect of a new and tough World.

     He sent Goh Chok Tong to recruit the Indian FTs as per conventional dictates.

     By 2002, Singapore suffered her first technical recession after years of 7% GDPs.

     How could this have happened is now revealed in the fact that Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% from 2002 to 2018 – 16 years. The deficit of 2-3% could be attributed to the contribution by the loss of the Black Under Counter Trades to the BRICS from 1990 after the end of the Cold War (1948-1989).

     Lee Kuan Yew could conjure 4 Initiatives to take up the void by 2004 eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, the 2 casinos, the FT imports and the Malaysia/Malays Killer Free Trade Scheme.

     By 2006, the Free Trade Scheme was up and running with only 4 members Singapore, Brunei, Chile and New Zealand. The Americans were not interested. But after the Crash of October 2008 Obama called the Lee Kuan Yew Free Trade Scheme his own TPPA.

     Upon the exposure of the TPPA that the Malaysians were involved secretly for 19 meetings, the Malaysian cast of the participants were clear. The Prime Minister, the Minister of Trade and Industry and the Head of the MITI were directly involved. The latter’s Singaporean spouse was Singapore’s most senior journalist in Kuala Lumpur. Journalists were often arrested by China, Russia, Iran, Egypt and North Korea.

     And what is the TPPA/CPTPP.

     This wicked Trade Agreement designed by Lee Kuan Yew was crafted and put together by him personally because with Obama’s OK in his pocket he paid a visit to the hot and humid Ulus under the pretence of visiting his friends who were digits, cohorts, spies, tycoons, fellow travellers, politicians, ladies with POWER etc. in his keenness to see that his wicked TPPA got all the Malaysian support to enslave and kill themselves by their own hands.

     The TPPA only benefits Singapore because geographically it is a part of Malaysia. All the other countries are far away. Details of finalising the TPPA with them will take time.

     BUT SINGAPORE OVERNIGHT CAN FLOOD THE WIDE OPEN GATES WITHOUT TARIFF OF THE FEDERATION. This will bankrupt all our small businesses and throw thousands out of work. Chaos and disturbances will be blamed on the incumbent Government of the day.

     Malaysia is enslaved forever by Singapore by signing HER OWN DEATH WARRANT THE TPPA/CPTPP THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER.

     The proponents of the TPPA/CPTPP said that Malaysia will benefit from better corporate governance, bigger markets in the United States in 20 years time. Now US is no more in the CPTPP. Malaysian condoms and gloves will have a bigger market – this industry is a light weight business with no benefits outside its esoteric specialty.

     AND THE LATEST SPIEL PROBABLY FROM SINGAPORE – THAT THE TPPA/CPTPP WILL ATTRACT INVESTORS. This is a misnomer.

     Investors without prompting will know where to look for the best returns and profits.

     If the New Government remains Incorruptible and Efficient with normal regulations, there will be plenty of investors even from Singapore.

     NO SOVEREIGN COUNTRY IN ITS NATIONAL INTEREST SHOULD BEND TO PLEASE FOREIGN INVESTORS WHO ARE FICKLE AND RUN AWAY AT THE DROP OF THE HAT.

     Finally, the statement by the YB is without substance why our beloved Malaysia should also ratify A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE AGREEMENT just because Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore have either signed the TPPA/CPTPP or expressed a strong wish to do so. I would consider this statement a dangerous attitude in favour of Singapore which has never done anything in our beloved Malaysia’s interests.

     THAILAND IS THAILAND, VIETNAM IS VIETNAM. SINGAPORE IS SINGAPORE.

     EACH NATION HAS THEIR OWN NATIONAL INTERESTS AND SOVEREIGNTY.

     What has the New and Incorruptible Government got to GAIN BY COPYING SINGAPORE FOR EXAMPLE ?

     We now know that by joining the TPPA/CPTPP, our beloved Malaysia will certainly meet its own DEATH AS A FREE AND INDEPENDENT NATION COMMITTED BY HER OWN HAND helped along by treacherous types who would sell their grand-mothers down river.

     Man proposes. God disposes. On 1 January 2017, President Trump tore up the TPPA. On 9 May 2018, our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad threw out THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     The balls-out push by Singapore’s Leadership to force our beloved Malaysia to ratify the TPPA/CPTPP in order for Singapore to survive on one single adventure SHOWS THE DILEMMA AND THE VERY BLEAK FUTURE SCENARIO FOR THE VERY EXISTENCE OF SINGAPORE BECAUSE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HOLDS THE KEYS TO THEIR PROBLEMS. Hence, Lee Kuan Yew’s constant BLUFFOLOGY or BS.

     Now with more and more facts on Singapore revealed, I doubt if Singapore can exist more than 100 years as from 1965 in her present form of politics and socio-economics. To confederate with the United Kingdom is one possible answer.

180. Tun

     I was seated outside my house waiting for my grand-daughter to get her things ready for her favourite SMK with its wonderful teachers and pupils but the pair of resident bulbul birds in the young banyan tree was not around this morning. May be they are away for good. This has always been my fear.

     But from the distant high tree top, I could hear the urbanised golden oriole with its haunting and plaintive cry. Was this the call for a mate in the dry season ?

     The British ornithologist employed by Lee Kuan Yew would be able to tell us as he was employed by him to find out why Singapore had no birds after he chopped down all the worm-ridden fruit bearing trees of Singapore and replaced them with squeaky clean rain-trees, bougainvilleas and Lee Kuan Yew creepers. The famished birds flew off to JB !

     The birds are back today because as usual Lee Kuan Yew over-reacted and now only plant trees which attract the birds to Singapore.

     The use of Public Policy to chase away or attract the birds was exactly like that applied to human beings. A very apt comparison is to be found in the relaxation or imposition of rules on foreigners buying properties in Singapore or Australia !

     And the headlines today ? Thus

     1. ” GOVT MAY EXTEND HOUSING LOAN TENURE ”

     To extend the Housing Loan Tenure is no panacea for the plight of the ordinary Rakyat. Here is a true example :

     A person takes out a RM 250,000 mortgage for 30 years at 4.5% interest per annum. He or she has to pay RM 375 as monthly principle and RM 1,250 as interest. Food for one person per month is approximately RM 900. Just on this 2 items alone, the total expenditure is RM 1,625 per month based on a minimum wage of RM 1,200.

     Why is affordable housing so difficult to take off in Malaysia ?

     It is our political socio-economic system which is based on democratic principles and not by central command unlike in Singapore and other authoritarian countries.

     Therefore taking cognizance of the facts which have been the obstacles to affordable housing in Malaysia, we can only come to a fair and reasonable cost if all parties involved in the construction industry co-operate.

     But Malaysia is a free market place full of independently minded entrepreneurs faced with thickets of red tape. How ?

     I can only point out where the greatest co-operation and price reduction may take place eg the Government and its lands, stamp duty etc, the property developers if they are rich but not the contractors who operate at a different risk level, the banks should reduce their rapacious ways on steady as a rock mortgages at least for the first time buyer.

     But a scheme like this is not an even playing field which all do not subscribe to it. At the end of the day, whatever is said and not done amounts to lip-service of an incumbent Government.

     China is a huge mirror of Malaysia’s affordable housing problems. Both with similar construction industry structures. Is this the price of freedom for Malaysians to pay like the Swiss and the Japanese ?

     2. ” MALAYSIA SHORT OF HIGH-SKILLED JOBS ” The sentence below this ” Labour market is skewed towards low skilled jobs ” MIDF Research. These two headlines were juxtaposed side by side and certainly each gave a different meaning to the whole because these beg the logical question,

     ‘ HOW CAN THERE BE A SHORTAGE OF HIGH-SKILLED JOBS WHEN AS THE NEXT SENTENCE REPORTED THAT THE LABOUR MARKET IS SKEWED TOWARDS LOW SKILLED JOBS ? ”

     This gives the impression either the MIDF Report was mis-interpreted without thought or the Report said so. Correct information is important for a decision-maker in the incumbent Government as we will see in the last headline in my following comment on TPPA/CPTPP.

     3. ” AZMIN WANTS MALAYSIAN AIRLINES TO REVIEW ORDER OF BOEING 737 MAXs.”

     This BOEING 737 MAX is an entirely different plane form the old 737 which we all love and knew.

     This is Leadership with a capital “L”.

     Unlike a former BN Minister of Transport who was asked why the MH17 flew over war-torn Ukraine, his reply was ” NO ONE ASK US NOT TO FLY THERE “. As a result, 189 innocent lives were lost. No Vision, No Initiative. No Creativity.

     But his successor the incumbent Minister of Transport ordered all Malaysian flights to avoid the conflict in the Kashmir area as soon as hostilities broke out between India and Pakistan.

     This is what I call Leadership without prompting and full of common sense.

     Ministers should think and act like a Minister in the Federal Interest in support of the Prime Minister and his Government with DSAI and the Team by his side. Ministers should not be bogged down by nurseries in the Dewan Rakyat, toy planes etc.

     May be it is a good idea for the Prime Minister to furnish these YBs with broad brushes to be able to paint in broad strokes in the Federal manner and in the National Interest of the Rakyat. Time is of the essence.

     I wish the present incumbent Government of the old and the young and the good and the great to rule for the next 61 years, not only 61 months. This is our beloved Malaysia’s last chance to reach the lofty heights of the likes of Visionary Switzerland which took 800 years of confederation, Democratic India 5,000 years and Good Governance Japan 3,000 years.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

181. Tun

     The good news is that the resident bulbuls are still with us and nesting in the young banyan tree. In his happiness, the chirping and the singing was loud and clear beginning at 6.55 a.m. this morning. This was a good accompaniment to my day. However, the headline which caught my eye was thus ;-

     ” MUDAJAYA IN TOUGH BATTLE FOR JUSTICE. ‘

     The nub of this headline is that an employee of this company was caught stealing RM 72 MIllion but was only charged for stealing RM 800,000 after 5 years due to the lack of legal safeguards to prevent white-collar crooks from taking advantage of the lax Laws and absconding. This un-convicted felon managed to escape to New Zealand to start a new life with the stolen money.

     Datuk Yusli Mohamad Yusoff the Mudajaya’s Group independent non-executive Chairman is one of the corporate figures with the highest integrity in the land. He certainly has something meaningful to say in the National Interest. In this particular instance, the lackadaisical attitude of the relevant authorities and the old and revised Laws which govern human and corporate activities.

     As it is commonly said, ‘ It is easier to practice Medicine than Law because with Medicine common ailments occur commonly. But in Law, every new case is different and living as this concern human beings.

     YET OUR ESSENTIAL LAWS LIKE THE COMPANIES ACT 1965, THE BANKURPTCY ACT 1967 AND THE TRUSTEES ACT 1949 ARE OUT-OF-DATE AND NOT IN CONSONANT WITH THE SAME LAWS IN BRITAIN, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG AND AUSTRALIA. These are one of the most important Laws in a Government’s legal repertoire.

     The 3 successive BN Ministers of Law were incompetent and self-serving.

     The latest revision of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 was no revision at all. In fact that it waa a travesty of Justice in which over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and over 200,000 non-Malay bankrupts were misled and incarcerated by the last BN Minister of Law who created 2 Bankruptcy Acts – one before October 2017 and one after 2017. The over 400,000 bankrupts are still incarcerated by the old Act. The revised Act only begin to function after October 2018. It is alleged the Minister was influenced by financial interests who dare not do this in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Vide. The Star Letter to the Editor. 25 June 2018.

     IF THE PH PUT THE BN REVISED BANKRUPTCY LAW RIGHT LIKE IN BRITAIN, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG AND AUSTRALIA, SURELY IT WILL GET THE VOTES OF OVER 400,000 URBANITES IN THE NEXT 15TH GE !

     And surely the PH Minister of Law is not as incompetent and self-serving as his 3 BN Ministers predecessors ?

     In 1982, the BN Government was fair and just. The 1982, Marriage Reform Act recognised all marriages before 1982. There was no discrimination. No 2 Classes of marriage were created UNLIKE THE INCOMPETENT BN MINISTER OF LAW IN 2017 WITH THE BANKRUPTCY ACT !

     There was another case concerning my family Trust. I wanted to report that the Trust was hi-jacked out of jurisdiction in 2002. I met the ASP in charge a Chinese woman in the KL contingent headquarters. She asked me, ‘ Did you see the Trustee steal the money ?’ I replied, ‘No.’ She told me bluntly, ‘ No case !” Recently, I reported the same. By this time the crooked Trustee had died young and all the money gone.

     See how much money our beloved Malaysia lost concerning Mudajaya and my family Trust ! And we can hardly guess how many billions of ringgits were stolen through LOOP-HOLES BECAUSE OF OUR OUT-DATED LAWS AND LAX ENFORCEMENT TO BENEFIT HOST COUNTRIES.

     It is timely that Malaysia should have EXTRADITION TREATIES WITH CHINA, HONG KONG, BRITAIN, CANADA, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND NO MATTER HOW LONG THE NEGOTIATIONS WILL TAKE in keeping with our new status as ONE F THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. And up-date its ESSENTIAL LAWS LIKE THE COMPANIES ACT 1965, THE BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967, THE TRUSTEES ACT 1949. With up-to-date Laws, we are as useless and ineffective as a DODO !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Today is a good day to reflect and think about events which are swirling around us.

     For those with the POWER to do good, I wish them well.

     But from 2004-2018, it was horrifying to watch those with POWER abusing their trust after the Rakyat voted them into POWER.

     The extent of abuse was unbelievable in a small country which had its Merdeka since 1957. Thereafter, successive Governments had the trust and support of the Rakyat until 2004 when all went hay-wire.

     Singapore as always was ready to pounce on any weakness in our Malaysia’s armour. And the chink in the armour was the BN Leadership itself. The moment it showed weakness of the flesh and a soft-under-belly, Singapore was there at the front of the queue.

     This was abang-adek or very hot Causeway relationships in private retreats as advertised. Where else in the World does a Leadership exposed itself to foreign interests like this, but Malaysia ? Sovereign and National Interest forgotten !

     However, at the end of the day, our beloved Malaysia’s SECRET WEAPON – MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES protected us. We the Rakyat need something special to ward off cunning and famished predators from all directions.

     How many Malaysians realise that any iota of influence Lee Kuan Yew or Singapore has in Malaysia is a GOOD SELLING POINT FOR SINGAPORE ? This is known as LEVERAGE ! How ?

     The answer is EXACTLY LIKE THE CLOSEST AIDE WHO NOW COLLECTS STRADIVARIUS VIOLINS AT US$ 5 MILLION A PIECE.

     In the mid-1980s, this fellow who used to carry the respectable Tan Sri Basir Ismail’s Samsonite, after a round of golf with the Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore at the Singapore Island Golf Club, boasted, ‘ I HAVE THE EARS OF THE GOOD AND THE GREAT OF KL.’

     Indeed, he had because he is now a ringgit billionaire from zero base in 1982 !

     Who says there is discrimination against foreign permanent residents of Singapore in Malaysia ?

     Some of this fellow’s major self-serving activities behind his Boss’s back are engraved in stone in the 1993-1994 Annual Reports of Cycle & Carriage Lid and Bintang Cycle & Carriage Berhad. – he was selling the best assets to his erstwhile friends at good values. Lee Kuan Yew was exactly like this when he sat next to any US President in Washington DC. What I call “selling our grandmothers down river !”

     The cacophony of Singaporean letter writers to the media is increasing as the days go by. The contents are emotional abusive and not factual. They never question what really went wrong with the Way Singapore was governed through the Policies of the Leadership which now give rise to only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50. This is the REAL PROBLEM for Singapore – the lack of a genetic pool to produce outstanding leaders in a tiny place.

     If the Leadership clings on to Lee Kuan Yew’s Policies of the 20th Century when he and Singapore were riding high with the huge profits from the Black Under-counter Trades of the Cold War (1948-1989), and now they have NOTHING, I doubt if Singapore can exist in its present form politically and socio-economically for 100 years from its date of establishment in 1965.

     The finest and biggest opportunity to invest in GOLD when Singapore had so much money in the 1980s was lost forever.

     How this opportunity was missed is no mystery because all options were not considered ?

     If Lee Kuan Yew being the BOSS had considered all options, the logical Policy would have to invest in GOLD up to 4,000 tpms BECAUSE SINGAPORE HAS NO NATURAL RESOURCES NOT EVEN WATER. Therefore, Singapore MUST HAVE SOMETHING OF VALUE WHICH HAS LEVERAGE TO PROJECT IS TINY IMAGE TO THE WORLD.

     And with 4,000 tons at US$ 300 per ounce in her hands whether it is really in Singapore or not, THE INTERNATIONAL LEVERAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN TREMENDOUS ! This has become a pipe-dream. An opportunity for Singapore to be special has now gone forever. Man proposes. God disposes. This is a good lesson for all that arrogance does not pay.

     I say it again that Singapore’s future is very bleak, not from an internal aspect but from the financial turmoils of the World which will surely wash onto her shores IF THE LEADERSHIP STUBBORNLY AND BLINDLY RELIES ON THE OUT-DATED POLICIES OF LEE KUAN YEW eg. Temasek, 2 casinos, FTs and the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Nowadsys, a public person like a politician in the ruling party has to be very careful with his public comments.

     On the subject of Khazanah’s normal accounting practice applied to its latest results, the Opposition media twisted this with all sorts of negative headlines imaginable ,thus :-

     ” KHAZANAH OWES MPS PUBLIC AN EXPLANATION MAHATHIR ”

     There were other similar headlines which struck an ordinary person as thought there were some wrong doing by the new Management.

     Of course to the well-informed and the cognoscenti the huge loss of RM 6 Billion was the result of proper accounting practice according to International Accounting Standards whereby ALL HIDDEN LOSSES AND IMPAIRMENTS FROM THE PAST YEARS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR SO THAT THE NEW MANAGEMENT CAN MANAGE PROPERLY WITH A CLEAN ACCOUNTING SHEET SO TO SPEAK.

     In the National Interest, this form of headlines twisting is SABOTAGE WITH THE INTENT OF WREAKING HAVOC ON THE INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY. Such treasonous acts should come under the rule of the Law.

     The huge losses can only be attributed to the sins and crimes of the previous Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     Huge and expensive advertisements were put up in the media to put forward the case of how effective and good the GLCs were making money for the Rakyat via BN Government. To me, this is just to cover the sins of the corrupt.

     And now all sins are revealed and exposed.

     I learnt about having a ‘clean slate’ set of accounts in any company or business entity from a MCA fellow who later went to jail. He did not follow his own advice.

     At some point, it was alleged he called me ‘ A MALAY BUM SUCKER ‘ because the Malays achieved control of Sime Darby through my 1972 Concept with the support of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and YBM Tengku Razaleigh.

     For a MCA Leader not to know that the Malays only owned 2% of Malaysia’s economy on 13 May 1969 was a travesty of Justice.

     Then, the British owned 70% of the best, the Chinese 25% with only a handful of towkays and the Malays just 2%. There were no finance facilities for the Malays and the non-Malays like credit cards, car or house loans, or OD facilities. The rich only got richer in a Currency Board Type of Economy.

     With the Sime Darby excuse that the Malays were going to own all businesses, this MCA fellow whipped the Chinese into a political frenzy and his Party involved in business. By 1985, he could remit S$ 100 Million to his girl friend’s account in Hong Kong via my friend. Billionaires lent him money when he was in trouble with the authorities by pretending to be poor. He said so himself.

     The Khazanah Management has done a proper professional and transparent task in the management of its assets.

     The next treatment should be to sell off as many as possible IT’S INVESTMENTS WHICH WERE ACQUIRED WITHOUT THE RAKYAT IN MIND BEGINNING WITH THE IIH AND THE LEGOLAND AS WELL.

     Many Rakyat find It difficult to make ends meet. YET THE PREVIOUS KHAZANAH MANAGEMENT SPENT BILLIONS OF RINGGITS OVERSEAS AND ON LEGOLAND AS WELL. How bonkers could they be ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with present day Khazanah’s accounting format. But beware of the twisty minds of the Opposition media editors.

184. Tun

     The details of Singapore’s failure to get Malaysia to ratify the TPPA Malaysia/Malays Killer are the losses from Singapore’s apparent savings of a minimum of S$ 1 Billion annually as reported by the Straits Times. This could be translated into the cost of expenditure to convert for free the Jurong Golf Club into a multi-billion dollar complex through re-valuation. Without Malaysia in the TPPA, Singapore has a void which cannot be filled. And instead of a bountiful profit, Singapore now faces losses of undetermined value.

     Hence, the elites beat their chests, tear their hair and voice out unmentionable words at the mention of Malaysia and her beloved Prime Minister ! Silly ! The whole problem or fracas was created by no less than their hero, Lee Kuan Yew !

     On the 1/2 share in an office building now owned by Malaysia. May be we trade this off to China in contra for other payments. The property scenario in Singapore is weakening due to surplus around the World and its slowing economy.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

185. Tun

     Many readers must wonder why I always harped on the TPPA/CPTPP. Here is the whole story behind the words.

     In 1965 when Singapore left the Federation, the Cold War (1948-1989) was at its height. Then, it was a World of spies and many under-cover activities in a World which was Black is Black, White is White. The cold struggle for demographics and geographics.

     Singapore was at that time in an enviable position by being right in the centre of South East Asia astride a key trading sea route of the World. Singapore had the leverage. And Lee Kuan Yew had just put all the Leftists into jail via Operation Coldstore at the insistence of the Tunku via Malaya’s Adviser on Counter-insurgency, Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too. Hence, his credentials were impeccable to the West.

     In 1972, the Institute of South East Asian Studies were established. Its front was academic but the purpose behind it was sinister. This was evident in later years, when only young UMNO aspirants were invited to speak at its forums. The Straits Times would laud their speeches the following day with words like ‘brilliant’ etc. These were all recorded in the library of the Straits Times off Bukit Timah.

     The cast of characters and events eventually build up to a crescendo – the ultimate legal weapon TPPA/CPTPP to enslave our beloved Malaysia by her own hand to shoot herself in the foot in Singapore’s interest.

     Of the UMNO aspirants after having been lauded by the sycophants, one eventually became at the appropriate time, the Minister of Trade & Industry.

     Singapore grew in wealth and stature through the ill-gotten gains of the black counter trades of the Cold War (1948-1989). Lee Kuan Yew grew in cockiness concomitantly. Of course, the West knew all about him and his capabilities. THEY CREATED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE !.

     But Lee Kuan Yew knew that those halcyon Cold War years could end abruptly. But he could not find a solution to replace the void. He reached for the tomes from Kino and Borders. The decision was to import FTs from India to boost the GDP of a collapsing economy. The consequences of creating artificial demographics are dire in any country as we can see now.

     By 2002, the writing on the wall for Singapore was clear. She suffered her first technical recession.

     But suddenly, the finest gift felled into Lee Kuan Yew’s hands.

     The unexpected resignation of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, his Nemesis of a life-time. A worthy person who stood by his principles and did not believe in all the Lee Kuan Yew’s contrived nonsense of abang-adek Causeway politics of flattery. For 22 years, Lee Kuan Yew could not make any meaningful headway in Singapore/Lee Kuan Yew’s interest.

     At this juncture, Lee Kuan Yew conjured a Free Trade Scheme which took off in 2006 with only Brunei, New Zealand, Chile and Singapore as members. He was so cocksure about its success that an International Trade Tribunal was established in Singapore in 2005. To this day, the Tribunal is still waiting for business from careless Malaysians who did not read the small print.

     In 2006, the Americans were riding high and were not interest in Lee Kuan Yew’s Free Trade Scheme which main purpose was to break open the TARIFF BARRIER OF MALAYSIA TO SINGAPORE GOODS BECAUSE SMUGGLING DID GIVE ONLY AN UNSTABLE 10-20% REVENUE. To him, Malaysia has always been Singapore’s Nirvana.

     In October 2008, Wall Street crashed and affected the Western financial system badly. Obama was in a panic thereafter.

     The next scenario, the Free Trade Scheme became Obama’s TPPA – Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement.

     Through the Cold War years and beyond, Lee Kuan Yew was a firm believer in the use of swallows, ducks, tycoons, journalists, academics, bankers etc as spies whom he would reward very well. On this score, Lee Kuan Yew had strong links with the US Democrats and some US elites.

     In June 2009, with the Obama’s OK in his pocket, Lee Kuan Yew under the pretence of saying good-bye to his digits, cohorts, spies, politicians etc, made a trip to the hot and humid Ulus at the age of 85 to ensure the TPPA’s success by his charismatic presence to naïve Malaysians ! He even had tea with a lady off Jalan Duta. So meticulous was Lee Kuan Yew on his TPPA. Cheekily, he paid a courtesy call on our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on his way to the airport !

     From his view point, the cast of Malaysian characters to sign the TPPA in Singapore/his favour was very clear and cannot miss.

     TO GET THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT TO SELL OUT MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT LEGALLY IN SINGAPORE’S ETERNAL INTEREST BY HER OWN HAND ! The cast as follows :

     1. THE BN GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP WAS HAVING VERY HOT RELATIONSHIPS WITH SINGAPORE’S LEADERSHIP. The fact is the relationship was on-going since 1986 !

     2. THE MINISTER OF TRADE & INDUSTRY WAS THE FELLOW WHO GOT A TERRIFIC RECEPTION AT THE ISEAS IN THE 1990s !

     3. THE TPPA’S CHIEF MALAYSIAN NEGOTIATOR’S SPOUSE WAS A SINGAPOREAN WHOM CERTAIN COUNTRIES LIKE CHINA, RUSSIA, EGYPT AND IRAN WOULD LOVE TO PUT IN JAIL BECAUSE OF HIS PROFESSION. He worked for a Singapore Government’s agency as its chief in Kuala Lumpur. With undue anxiety, MALAYSIA’S VERY OWN TPPA CHIEF NEGOTIATOR INSISTED IN A RED HEADLINE IN NSTP IN JANUARY 2017 THAT MALAYSIA MUST SIGN THE TPPA. There is an ancient saying,’ The maid servant is bigger than the lady Boss !’

     ALL THE DREAMS OF LEE KUAN YEW CAME TRUE DUE TO HIS UNENDING EFFORTS OF A LIFE-TIME TO CONQUER OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IN SINGAPORE’S INTEREST UP TO 9 MAY 2018.

     Overnight, the cruel and cunning thoughts of Lee Kuan Yew collapsed and our beloved Malaysia instead of being a slave Colony of Singapore which would have flooded our economy with tax free goods overnight and kill all our businesses, BECAMEE ONE OF 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, SWITZERLAND, JAPAN AND MALAYSIA. Before this, the Straits Times bragged that Singapore would save S$ 1 Billion a year minimum annually with the TPPA OR MALAYSIA WOULD LOSE RM 3.3 BILLION MINIMUM !

     MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. From the Private Sector only Prof Jomo opposed. Even the President of the SME was for the TPPA and was ennobled accordingly.

186. Tun

     In my comments on Lee Kuan Yew and his Singapore, I have mentioned his 47 Failed Public Policies. For those readers who are not aware about this, please access (www.chedet.cc.org) “Archives. Malaysia according to Kuan Yew. September 2010.”

     THE ONLY LIVING EXAMPLE IN THE WORLD WHERE A PERSON IN A TINY PLACE TRIED TO SUBJUGATE A HUGE COUNTRY THROUGH LEGAL MEANS AND FAILED. HE THOUGHT HE WAS VERY CLEVER AND THE MALAYSIANS STUPID AND CORRUPT.

     MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

187. Tun

     A headline, ” Mahathir Mohamad. I AM PRO-MALAYSIA. NOT ANTI-SINGAPORE.”

     These are actually not trying times for our beloved Malaysia but just the normal house-cleaning of the Augean Stables after 14 years of excesses in everything.

     Soon, our beloved Malaysia will recover and as one of the 4 important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia will zoom up to the likes of the Greats like Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     Unlike Singapore which has Leadership problems and now has to work in a collective manner after the 4 Initiatives of Lee Kuan Yew collapsed eg. the ill-conceived Temasek which brought down Singapore to the level of the hoi-polloi, the FTs imports were like pushing the economy with a string, the 2 casinos in a crowded neighbourhood and the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP, Malaysia is now back on her front foot to move rapidly forward with the right Leaders after a hiatus of 14 years of waste and abuse.

     This only shows how determined Singapore wanted to bring down Malaysi., She did not succeed. Right up to the point that the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP was signed but not ratified. Man proposes. God disposes.

     As I always said that to understand a problem a person has to revert back to history in order to discover the basic facts which cause the problem.

     History is the finest arbiter of the TRUTH.

     In the case of Singapore, I too was once mesmerised by the brainwashing put up by Lee Kuan Yew but since 1951, I had always had doubts about him. He was too good to be true. And my recent over 8 years of study have produced results and information contrary to the popular belief as instigated by him. Here are the findings :-

     1. The Real Wealth of Singapore came from her black under counter trades of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     With the condonation by Uncle Sam, Singapore’s trades in hard and soft arms, smuggling, money laundering, toadying up to dictators, sanctions breaking, collecting free Vietnam war debris, US R & R, bunkering and air base facilities etc brought her a huge flood of money to a small population of less than 2 million ruled by a honest authoritarian Government. The Wealth pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First.

     Unfortunately, this huge Wealth caused Lee Kuan Yew to adopt the wrong Policies which gave rise to 47 Failed Public Policies.

     2. Singapore at the material time was fortunate to employ the services of the UN Economics expert Dr Albert Winsemius, a Dutchman,from 1962-1984. He was responsible for all the infra-structures in Singapore we see today. From Jurong via the Asian Dollar to the Changi reclamation and the glittering skyscrapers. Lee Kuan Yew capitalised on him and suppressed the brilliance of Dr Winsemius. It was only until 2017 that a small lane was named in his honour.

     3. Lee Kuan Yew’s character caused his downfall after his peak of academic achievement at Cambridge.

     The fact is his view of himself and the World never changed after he left the portals of the University of Cambridge. This is evident from his Policies like the 2 Child-Family, the Thaksin Purchase, his Political System and 44 other failed Public Policies especially of his one-sided view on how to deal with Malaysia and the Malays.

     He considered the Malaysian Chinese below him and corrupt.

     This cost Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew a lot of mileage but only a couple of rocks, steel rails, some landed assets etc.

     And now his inheritors are up a pole still trying to emulate his Malaysia Policy which have failed to capture Malaysia and the Malays in Singapore/his interest no matter how hard he tried using the resources of the State of Singapore.

     To save his legacy and his inheritors, he conjured up 4 Initiatives which were previously mentioned by me. All failed miserably with Singapore still in the rut since 2002.

     In fact the answers to Singapore’s survival are in the deep recesses of the elites brains.

     But these fellows do not know how to think and only know how to reach for Lee Kuan Yew’s dictats and quotations over and over again which is his out-dated 20th Century Policy towards Malaysia.

     The failure is confirmed by Malaysia being one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia after 9 May 2018 !

     THE THREE MAIN FACTORS AS ABOVE WERE WHAT MADE SINGAPORE RICH UP TO THE END OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989.

     Thereafter from the lofty heights of GIC in Singapore’s Sovereign and National Interest, Lee Kuan Yew became more of an ordinary person with his later moves which cost Singapore many billions of American Dollars at the instigation of the Gnomes of Zurich and POWER.

     And now Singapore is powerless to leave the clutches of these Gnomes who flattered Lee Kuan Yew in his moments of weakness in the 1990s. An ancient saying, ” There is always a higher mountain. ”

     If LEE KUAN YEW AND HIS ELITES WERE THAT SMART THEY WOULD HAVE INVESTED IN GOLD IN THE 1980s AT US$ 300 per ounce UP TO 4,000 TONS.

     They did not. THIS SHOWS THAT THEY DID NOT USE THEIR BRAINS AND NOT AS CLEVER AS THEY WANT THE WORLD TO BELIEVE THEY WERE !

     So, these folks are just like us Malaysians.

     Gold would have given Singapore POWER to control Malaysia, INDEPENDENCE FROM GNOMES and SURVIVAL TO ETERNITY.

     But by being too clever by far and denigrated the Malaysians, Singapore is now struggling to keep up with the big boys in the 21st Century. As Tun said, IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MIND-SET.’ Make it or break it.

     And negative headlines like this from Singapore which is the result of negative thinking and not POSITIVE from Bilahari Kausikan :-

     ” EX-ENVOY URGES SINGAPOREANS TO BRACE FOR MORE TROUBLE FROM MALAYSIA ”

     As I always say and quote Franklin D Roosevelt, ” THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF ”

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if all the YBs wake up and recognise that they are being led by one of the best Prime Ministers in the World with DSAI and the Team by his side. Acheh !

188. Tun

     We live in a land full of fauna and flora and we have done precious little to preserve them. May be we are still developing our beloved Malaysia and lack the funds and human resources required to do so.

     However, the fauna did not wait for us to conserve or save them like the bulbuls in the young banyan tree or the urbanised golden oriole which thrive in towns. And of course, my feather friends the bulbuls were off the mark by chirping and singing at 6.55 a.m. to my astonishment ! They forced me to begin another day, these birds of a feather !

     The headlines to keep me awake this morning, thus :-

     ” TUN M : I SIDE WITH RICH CHINA OVER FICKLE U.S. ”

     There are at least 3 different versions of this report. As I have always commented that

     ” The Americans forget easily. The British try not to forget. The French never forget. The Chinese never never never forget. The Malaysians forgive and forget. ”

     With each type of the people I mentioned, a person has to visit their countries to understand why they behave in this manner.

     On the Americans, they are a migratory people within their own borders. When they are in search of new jobs in new locations, they move on. Hence, they cannot let emotions or nostalgia hold them back in their search for survival for themselves and their families.

     The British had their huge Empire once which the Sun never sets. The French after chopping off the heads of their Royalty, never forgot their pomp and glory as exemplified by their Imperial architectural buildings which were maintained fastidiously. The Chinese would not be around since 5,000 years ago if they had been forgetful. The Malaysians are practical and move on in LIFE ! These explain.

     2. From Singapore. ” DID MALAYSIA’S TOURISM MINISTER REALLY SAY THERE ARE NO GAYS IN MALAYSIA ?”

     A photo of the YB who looked jet-lag and lack sleep was provided.

     First my humble apologies to all when I said the YB was in Hamburg famous for its red-light district.

     Now I realise the YB was in Berlin the CAPITAL FOR LGBTs in Europe like San Francisco for the United States and Sydney for Australia.

     Second, after what the YB said about the absence of LGBTs in Malaysia, no LGBT will tour Malaysia anymore for lack of companionship. How is the YB going to make amends on this which will reduce our tourist receipts somewhat ? For myself, I never like to visit Berlin because it was the battleground at the end of World War II and a capital for LGBTs in Europe. I had a nephew who died there at a young age.

     3. There is a Report. ” MALAYSIA AMONG MOST DANGEROUS OF 14 COUNTRIES IN APAC RANKED FOR WOMEN’S SAFETY……”

     Only a few days ago, a lady visitor from China was injured by the KLCC PETRONAS Towers in broad daylight when she became the victim of a snatch and run thief.

     This sort of incident does not give our beloved Malaysia a good name.

     Through the years, we were told there would be tourist patrols in the area. Reports of ill-behaved motor-cyclists at night in the same area have come to me.

     Perhaps, IT IS TIMELY THAT ALL FOREIGN TOURISTS ARE WARNED BY THEIR HOTELS AND TOUR AGENTS TO BE AWARE OF SUCH CRIMES AND AVOID BEING CARELESS FOR SUCH AN INCIDENT TO HAPPEN. Prevention is better than cure. The Ministry of Tourism has a role to play here.

     Kuala Lumpur has been turned into a metropolis for peoples of the World in recent times as it is an important nexus right in the middle of South East Asia. The arrival of different peoples cannot be forbidden as we have open borders and an open economy. This puts a strain on our PDRM.

     May be it is time to build up a really true TOURIST POLICE FORCE TO SAFEGUARD OUR VISITORS AT ALL TIMES AND IN THE RIGHT PLACES. And also the POWER to stop motorcyclists to check them will be helpful in reducing crimes altogether. The Ministry of Tourism has a lot on their plate at home.

     I have never heard of the Ministers of Tourism of Germany, Italy and Japan travel at all or as much as our Ministers of Tourism.

     The main task of a Minister of Tourism is to ensure that the tourists get the best deal in everything in our country and not get cheated or injured. This is a full time job.

     Germany, Italy and Japan rose from the ashes of defeat after the World War II through tourism. They have never looked back since those days. Malaysia is still at an infancy stage when it comes to the real business of Tourism which was never taken seriously even today.

     It was so lax that in the 1980s, ex-Civil servants in the Ministry could develop themselves into Vice-Chancellors today ! Believe it or not !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as the New and Incorruptible Government puts its act together now than later. It’s the Federal mind-sets, not the Communal mind-sets, which should prevail, YBs

189. Tun

     In this dry season, my feather friends the bulbuls must be nesting in the young banyan tree. They have not flown away yet. But soon when the rains come they will be gone to new pastures. So will the urbanised golden oriole with its plaintive and haunting calls. I will miss them until next year perhaps ?

     And the catchy headlines today are what matters most for those with an interest in current affairs of our beloved country, Malaysia. Thus,

     1. ” KHAZANAH’S LOSS SPARKS DEBATE. ”

     With all due respect, I wonder whether this is fake news or not.

     For a new management to provide for losses wherever possible is conventional and proper.

     Kudos to the Christ’s man ( Christ’s College, Cambridge ) for taking the proper stance in this regards as befitting a major public entity. This is the way to go after years of sinning by the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites in the cover-up of years of losses so incurred by them.

     I remember large advertisements were placed in the media all over to justify the existence of these Singapore copies of corrupt GLCs. While this was going on, one has the discomfort of feeling every day that corrupt money was leaking out concomitantly.

     This headline is MISCHIEVOUS AND POSSIBLY A CONTRIVED FAKE AND TO BE IGNORED.

     2. ” MINISTRY OF TOURISM – NO CAMPAIGN AGAINST LGBT ”

     Three wrongs do not make a right thus :-

     (i) ” THE MINISTER THINKS THERE IS NO LGBT IN MALAYSIA ”

     There may be no LGBT Minister in the New and Incorruptible Government. I am certain the YB cannot speak for the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     (ii) ” HIS AIDE SAID THIS IS PUTRAJAYA’S OFFICIAL LINE.”

     Is there such an OFFICIAL LINE that there are no LGBTs in Malaysia ?

     (iii) ” MINISTRY OF TOURISM SAID THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN AGAINST LGBT.

     Now the Ministry is insinuating there are many LGBTs in Malaysia.

     First the YB was not aware that a Minister of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government created TWO BANKRUPTCY LAWS INSTEAD OF ONLY ONE TO PLEASE FINANCIAL INTERESTS AND MISLED OVER 200,000 YOUNG MALAY BANKRUPTS AND ANOTHER OVER 200,000 NON-MALAY BANKRUPTS. This Bankruptcy Law has to be properly revised. These are valuable and educated young urban votes for the 15th GE. Otherwise, the BN will gain on their promise to help these over 400,000 suffering voters ! It is either the PH in POWER WILL DO SO WITH THEIR MINISTER OF LAW or the BN will pick up these votes against the PH. All 3 BN Ministers of Law were INCOMPETENT AND SELF-SERVING !

     Second, it is alleged a LGBT minor official was chased off from the New and Incorruptible Government soon after it assumed POWER in 2018.

     3. ” TAIPING IS NO.3 MOST SUSTAINABLE CITY IN THE WORLD.”

     Singapore would have put all her energies to promote this to the World
     for TOURISM’S SAKE.

     But in our beloved Malaysia there is not a single squeak.

     This is free World wide publicity endowed on a small town in Malaysia.

     THERE ARE MANY MORE TOWNS LIKE TAIPING WHICH DESERVE EQUAL ATTENTION. IT IS THE JOB OF THE MINISTRY OF TOURISM TO PUBLISH A BOOK LISTING ALL THESE WONDERFUL ABODES OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. This is a cheap and effective way of PUBLICISING SOMETHING WHICH NO ONE NOTICED BEFORE.

     Not only that, the economies of these small towns will wake up with the influx of tourists, local and foreign. The eateries, the hotels and shops get more business.

     WHO WOULD NOT VOTE FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AGAIN ?

     This is action right down to the ground WHERE IT MATTERS !

     Travel Fair in Hamburg, Germany ?

     DUSTY AND DIRTY INDIA, CHINA AND THE MIDDLE EAST ARE WHERE THE TOURISTS ARE. The Germans are more interested in Spain, Italy, Greece and the Maldives if you know them well enough !

     LET US HOPE THIS MINISTRY DOES NOT BECOME ANOTHER TRAVEL AGENCY AGAIN FOR THE YB AND HIS CIVIL SERVANTS WASTING THE RAKYAT’S MONEY !

     One BN Minister of Tourism took her hubby in tow to visit the Southern Antipodes which know us well and have more kangaroos and sheep than the human population On another luxury swing, she promoted LONDON with an expensive Malaysian Orchid exhibit at the UPPER-CLASS ROYAL CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW, LONDON. She was awarded a Gold Medal by the Queen for promoting London. THIS GOLD MEDAL RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO THE NATIONAL MUZIUM !

     In 1982, an UMNO Tan Sri tycoon told me that if a person had RM 20 Million, he could create a lot of trouble for the Government. Now the fellows have billions of ringgits of stolen money from the Rakyat !

     The present unending spate of fake news manufactured by the Opposition media underline this fact.

     It is best to ignore all these rubbish and FOCUS ON THE TASK OF GOVERNING AND DELIVERING BY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE. Even Singapore has gone into this act since the middle of last year for reasons of her own.

     THE BIGGEST BATTLE TO COME FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVENRMNET WILL BE FROM NOW TO THE 15TH GE AFTER WHICH IF THE BN IS DEFEATED, it will be another Day, another Era for our beloved Malaysia.

     If I am a YB, I will first make sure my Ministry is FIGHTING FIT TO DELIVER TO THE RAKYAT. Second, my constituency is my responsibility for the better or worse. Third, whatever I say or do I must make sure that I do not soot myself in the foot or my colleagues in the Cabinet or my BOSS especially my beloved Malaysia and our hallowed Constitution safeguarded by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans. Fourth, I must work as a Team with my BOSS and fellow YBs and LEAVE MY COMMUNAL THINKING WITH MY PASST OPPOSITION YEARS and think FEDERAL !

     With some practice, all these points become automatic and instinctive in a person’s mind. AND YOU ARE READY TO WIN THE NEXT GE, YB !

     However, before a YB is successful, there will be wonderful dinners, invitations, women, free travel, gifts etc coming from all directions to make the YB weak at the knees.

     I suppose one can call these OCCUPATIONAL RISKS OR HAZARDS OF A YB IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. Acheh !

     With the next BIG BATTLE IN THE 15TH GE, THE BATTLE HAS BEGUN NOW AS I SEE IT. The chances of the New and Incorruptible Government are good PROVIDED THE YBs CAN WORK AS A TEAM WITHOUT THEIR COMMUNALISTIC THOUGHTS WHEN IN OPPOSITION AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, DELIVER THE GOODIES.

     THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC GOODIES CAN ONLY BE DELIVERED BY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT EN MASS TO THE RAKYAT like cheaper rice, more jobs or affordable houses, low inflation etc etc.

     BABY NURSERIES IN THE DEWAN RAKYAT, RM 1 MILLION TOY PLANES, HAVE A LOOK-SEE AT THE HAMBURG TRAVEL FAIR, DEMOTING ONE-SELF TO BE THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, PRETTY BILLS TO STOP HANGING MURDERERS AND BOTTOM PINCHING FOR THE ESOTERIC WESTERN OR LOCAL NICHES WILL SURELY GET NO VOTES FROM THE PRESENT HARD-UP AND LONG SUFFERING RAKYAT. YBs, it is the cheap food on the table after working at a job with a roof over one’s head at the end of the day THAT COUNT’S.

     BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES AS A WESTERN POLITICIAN WILL SAY !

     With just common sense and hard-work and NO THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING MONEY, the New and Incorruptible Government WILL GOVERN FOR THE NEXT 61 YEAWRS ! By by MCA. Those YBs interested in making money, please resign and do business with plenty of opportunities under the Government.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem IF THE GOVERNMENT IS NORMAL, THE PRIME MINISTER AND HIS CABINET IS NORMAL. We will all have a NORMAL LIFE WITHOUT ANY ABNORMALITY ! This is what we all work for, YBs !

190. Tun

     Malaysia today is full of excitement.

     May be it is because of the speed of the delivery of information which made this so.

     Here is a collection of Ministerial announcements which were made in the basement whilst you were on the 88th Floor of PETRONAS Towers.

     In the case of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites were avalanched or flattened to nought by the weight of its scandals.

     Let us fervently hope that the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great is not similarly disposed of by the weight of its farcical Ministerial announcements.

     Government is a s serious business with a global oversight reach. Here are some notable quotes :-

     1. Quote. ” I think there is no LGBT in Malaysia.” A BN Minister created 2 Bankruptcy Acts instead of only ONE, YB !

     2. His aide put more fuel to the fire. Quote. ” This is Putrajaya’s official line !” OMG.

     3. A New Bill to stop bottom pinching.

     4. A New Bill to save the lives of murderers. A small girl was murdered today in Langkawi. A few weeks ago, another young girl was murdered in Pekan.

     5. Quote. ” After 60 years of BN rule, it takes time to correct the System.” It is the digits or cohorts which mis-managed or manned the System, not the System, Madam.

     6. The wife trailed the hubby to the negotiating table in China.

     7. ‘Plant bamboo and pineapples’. It was only a suggestion so said the Minister for Primary Commodities. Sorry, Mr Lee Kong Chian of Pontian fame and FIMA in Johor under Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and respected Tan Sri Basir Ismail.

     8. Nursery in the Dewan Rakyat. Who is going to buy those pacifiers and baby napkins YB ?

     9. A RM 1 Million toy plane for two which is not meant for sale to the public ! Shades of Popular Science reports of failures since 1947 !

     10. A Minister demoted himself to be the Vice-Chancellor and many more.

     11. In Semenyih, it was a new hospital to be built before the By – Election. But after the event, it is only to be a clinic !

     12. On the Tunnel, quote, ” Watch your words. I sue.” How to sue without words spoken ?

     As I hope the New and Incorruptible Government will govern for the next 61 years, let us all realise that may be we let our frontal lobes of the brain do the job first before words come out of our mouths.

     How many Malaysians noticed your style Tun ? Attack is the best defence. The cheeky journalists always lost.

     How could a YB be a lesser soul than a journalist with all due respect ?

     All the YB quoted here were put on the back foot by the journalists with promptings from their Opposition editors to catch them in delicto flagrante if possible (shades of CSL) and later highlighted as farce. Let us hope its not the Land of Scandals become the Land of Farce.

     Where else but Malaysia ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem if the YBs use their frontal lobes first instead of shooting off with their mouths. Acheh ! For the next 61 years YBs !

191. Tun

     It is time for Singapore to stop their practices of the 20th Century on 21st Century Malaysia with a New and Incorruptible Government which will rule for the next 61 years ! Here are more facts to rebut ‘ THE CHOICE WORDS OF DR VIVIAN BALAKRISHNAN.’

     1. GOLD. If Lee Kuan Yew had considered ALL THE OPTIONS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST OF SINGAPORE AND NOT BUTTERED UP IN HIS PERSONAL INTEREST ( he was honest but his vanity and narcissism were bad for a Statesman ) BY THE GNOMES OF ZURICH WHICH MAY INFLUENCE THE WORLD’S FINANCIAL MARKETS, he would have ploughed all his Cold War Black Trades Profits into GOLD AT US$ 300 per ounce. He should have used the gnomes instead it was the other way round.

     OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AFTER THE OCTOBER 2008 WALL STREET CRASH WOULD HAVE BEEN SINGAPORE’S ETERNAL SLAVE FOREVER. How? Cheap loans to weak and corrupt BN Governments which needed more money all the time.

     Singapore would have new businesses in jewellery, gold trading, marts, refineries, secured warehouses, banks, gold bonds and other gold instruments, logistics, and countless of other gold related activities etc. Now its Lend Lease might military has NOTHING TO GUARD.

     ALL AND MORE COULD HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED BY JUST A PHONE CALL !

     By descending down to Wall Street and the City, SINGAPORE’S UNIQUE CAPABLITIES WERE EQUALISED AND REDUCED TO THE SAME LEVEL AS YOU AND ME, TUN.

     These folks could brainwash naïve Malaysians. But they could not see the vital fact that they could be BRAINWASHED TOO BY THE GNOMES. An ancient saying, ‘ There is always a higher mountain.’

     GOLD COULD HAVE BEEN THE NIRVANA AND SAVIOUR FOR SINGAPORE. BUT WEAKNESS OF RESOLVE, VANITY, LACK OF INTELLIGENCE AND EXPERIENCE OF THE WILES OF THE DENIZEN OF THE WORLD BROUGHT ABOUT SINGAPORE’S DOWNFALL TODAY.

     With just 4,000 tons of Gold, Singapore would have been up there with the United States with 7,000 tons, Germany 4,000 tons, France and Italy 3,000 tons, China and Russia 2,000 tons, India 1,000 tons official.

     It was as SIMPLE as this for Lee Kuan Yew to achieve DOMINANCE WITH THE POWER OF GOLD. He read too many tomes from Kino or Borders ! IT’S THE ABILITY TO THINK LIKE YOU TUN THAT MAKES THE WORLD GOES ROUND AND ROUND !

     2. THE SINGAPOREAN ELITES FORGOT ABOUT LEE KUAN YEW’S GOODWILL AND CREDITS WITH THE SUPERPOWERS FOR 25 YEARS ! Something is wrong somewhere.

     This wonderful asset is as yet un-utilised. Soon the value will diminish in value as time goes by.

     With the dangerous and expensive obsession with Malaysia, this is the price the Singaporean elites have to pay in their zero sum game.

     My suggestion has always been, for the Singaporean elites, that there is a brand new wonderful NEW WORLD OUT THERE IN THE 21ST CENTURY ! And it is inside the deep recesses of their brains ! Besides, Malaysia is now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia – through the brilliance and courage of just one person, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !

     AND WITH THE CHINA GREATER BAY PROJECT, SINGAPORE CAN ONLY BE AGAIN REDUCED IN VIRTUAL SIZE AND INFLUENCE IN TIME BY ITSELF !

     3. It is short-sighted for any Malaysian Government worth its weight in salt NOT TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION IN THE RAKYAT’S INTERESTS THUS :

     ” NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE SOLD, EXPORTED OR TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE.”

     The States are not involved. A new business in treated water springs up amongst the States !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem when we have all the basic facts in hand and consider matters in a Fourth Dimension manner !

192. Tun

     This morning as soon as I switched on the lights, the resident bulbul began to chirp and sing. The urbanised golden oriole followed with its plaintive and haunting cry from its perch in a high tree.

     I have yet to hear the pleasant sound of the night jar’s tick-tock at night which used to speed me to a sound slumber in my boyhood years right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. And then, of course, the wandering musang which thrived in the Lake Gardens and its environs of Kuala Lumpur.

     As the years go by, all vestige of fauna will be gone and replaced with solid concrete and corrupt bumps courtesy of DBKL which dutifully also put up plastic Bunga Raya and kutupat as replacement. Most other countries hang up flowering plants on lamp-posts like geraniums etc – real and colourful.

     And this morning’s headlines were scarce but no less important and eye-catching, thus :-

     1. ” KHAZANAH SUFFERS FIRST LOSS ”

     2. ” MALAYSIA SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUND MARK US$ 1.5 BILLION LOSS OVER IMPAIRMENTS. ”

     3. ” S’PORE SUCCESSES DUE TO M’SIA SUPPLYING WATER ? VIVIAN BALAKRISHNAN HAS CHOICE WORDS FOR MAHATHIR.”

     On headlines 1 and 2, my kudos to the Chief of Khazanah that the cat is finally out of the bag which is years of HIDDEN LOSSES INCURRED BY KHAZANAH ARE FINALLY BROUGHT TO LIGHT IN ORDER TO START WITH A CLEAN SLATE.

     The latter phrase is a favourite phrase of accountants. I learnt this from a MCA fellow who went to jail from abusing his trust. And when he was in trouble, he pretended to be poor but concomitantly remitted via my friend S$ 100 Million from Singapore to Hong Kong. Some billionaires even lent him some money !

     WITHOUT A CLEAN SLATE, WITH THE HIDDEN LOSSES ALL ARE PROVIDE FOR, KHAZANAH WOULD BE IN DEEP TROUBLE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT ITS REAL AND TRUE POSITION IS FINANCIALLY. This is exactly the same situation with the New and Incorruptible Government and its Ministry of Finance.

     In the first place, Khazanah should not exist like Temasek of Singapore which is a faulty model. Secondly, Khazanah was established during Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s first tenure for an entirely different reason. Thirdly, KHAZANAH CANNOT BE CALLED A SOVEREIGN FUND.

     SOVEREIGN FUND WAS COINED BY THE WESTERN MEDIA IN THE YEARS BEFORE THE HORRIFIC CRASH OF TEMASEK IN OCTOBER 2008 WITH A LOSS OF US$ 108 BILLION TO BUTTER UP LEE KUAN YEW BY THE GNOMES OF ZURICH IN THE WESTERN MEDIA.

     All knew there are only 3 GENUINE SOVEREIGN FUNDS eg. Canada Heritage Fund was the first which was established in the early 1970s for the sole purpose of saving money from the depletion of its natural resources. Norway and Kuwait followed.

     Sovereign was a word cunningly used to butter-up Lee Kuan Yew’s Temasek which funds came from the CPF via the HDB, Government coffers etc. or profits from the dark trades in arms from the Cold War 1948-1989. Singapore has no NATURAL RESOURCES how to call Temasek or GIC as equivalents to Canada, Norway or Kuwait.

     With this background information on the Bluffology or BS of Singapore on Sovereign Funds, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with its equally corrupt elites copied the Singapore Model not for the Rakyat’s interests but for their own personal interest like astronomically high salaries, all human desires were paid by the GLCs and as long as there was money to be made for their personal pockets eg there were deals from Flying Eagles to orchid farms in Rawang.

     The best the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great can do with the corrupted GLCs is to sell the whole lot at the right price because the Government guarantees with hidden liabilities will be cumbersome sooner or later.

     A Government has no business to be in business making money for the Rakyat. THIS IS JUST AN EXCUSE TO BE CORRUPT AND WALLOP MONEY BIG TIME !

     On the wonderful ways of Singapore making money for itself which were publicised far and wide in the 20th Century by Lee Kuan Yew, WITHOUT THE DISCOVERY OF HIS ILLEGAL BLACK TRADES IN ARMS, MONEY LAUNDERING, TOADYING UP TO DICTATORS, SANCTIONS BREAKING, COLLECTING FREE VIETNAM WAR DEBRIS, SMUGGLING, US R & R, BUNKERING AND BASE FACILITIES ETC, the whole World did really believe in his brilliant achievements which one could see in Singapore, the glittering skyscrapers etc !

     But history is the finest arbiter of the TRUTH.

     How come a sleepy colonial entreport employing coolies in Keppel Harbour, made more money than Singapore today chock-a-block with skyscrapers and World class facilities ? How ?

     Old Singapore of the 20th Century made 2%-3% GDP more without the imported 1.2 Million FTs and a Singapore Cabinet FILLED WITH THE BEST BRAINS OF SINGAPORE PAID AT LEAST S$ 2 MILLION SALARY PER ANNUM PER HEAD ! Ex-Malaysians like Dr Goh Keng Swee, S. Rajaratnam, Yong Nyuk Lin, Ong Pang Boon etc were paid pittance to create that wonderful fizz of a 7% GDP in the old days. From 2002-2017, Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% exclusive of the INFLATION RATE !

     SEE THE POWER OF THE MIND and BRAINWASHING.

     Whatever the present Singaporean Leadership says about Malaysians today IS CORRECT IF THE MALAYSIANS ARE NOT AWARE OF THE NEW INFORMATION ON THE WORKINGS OF SINGAPORE IN THE PAST WHICH WERE WRAPPED UP IN BLUFFOLOGY OR BS.

     The real Facts about Singapore’s success which must ultimately depends on a constant and plentiful supply of Water, are :-

     The 47 Failed Public Policies of Lee Kuan Yew 1965-2015. Vide chedet.cc.org Archives ‘ Malaysia according to Kuan Yew’ Sept. 2010.

     1, The Creation of the Anti Cambridge Godless Neo-communistic Political and Socio-economic System without the knowledge of the citizens. Prominent Indians Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen and TJS George were openly against this authoritarian System.

     2. The Cruel and Thoughtless 2 Child-Family Policy 1972-1984. Now Singapore has 900,000 Chinese aged 21-50. Vide Singapore Government’s White Paper on Population 2011. LEE KUAN YEW HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS from, suicides, abortions, etc.

     3. The Thaksin Purchase. This caused Free Thailand to split into two bitter factions which resulted in deaths and injuries to innocent Thai men, women and children. LEE KUAN YEW HAS BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

     4. Strangely, the Malaysia Policy is still being promoted by his inheritors today.

     It is based on the stupidity, corrupt and lethargy of Malaysians INCLUDING THE CHINESE according to Lee Kuan Yew !

     Little did Lee Kuan Yew know that it was known he entered Cambridge University at the bottom-most non-college Fitzwilliam House by CHEATING WITHOUT THE REQUISITE LATIN OR GREEK, DID NOT TAKE THE OPEN ENTRANCE, AND OVER-AGED AT 23 ! He was LAST at the important London Bar Finals. His wife was 3rd out of 300. Later my wife was 7th out of 700.

     5. His brother’s second wife had a piece of paper which she converted into BILLIONS OF RINGGITS VIA THE ATM MAYBANK/KIM ENG SECURITIES CAPER. Someone is now a VICE-CHANCELLOR.

     6. Out of 5,000 pigs permitted to be imported into Singapore in the 1990s, LEE KUAN YEW’S THIRD BROTHER COULD IMPORT 2,000 PIGS DAILY BESIDE HAVING FLOWER NURSERIES TO SUPPLY FRIENDS (shades of DBKL) AND A PARTNERSHIP IN SHARE-BROKER JACOB BALLAS. He was only a lowly Singapore policeman a DSP once. Let us not forget, Singapore is a major financial centre with dealings in equities a major activity. It was alleged that the 3,000 pigs quota from the 5,000 pigs were farmed out to other relatives.

     7. Lee and Lee, Advocated & Solicitors specialised in CONVEYANCING concerning Indonesians and other foreigners. It was alleged in 1972, the firm was making S$ 2 Million a year !

     8-47 Failed Policies of Lee Kuan Yew which of course include the TRADES IN ARMS, ETC WHICH I MENTIONED ABOVE.

     The SUCCESS OF SINGAPORE WHICH WAS WITHOUT DOUBT PUSHED HER FROM THE THIRD WORLD TO THE FIRST BY FREE MALAYSIAN WATER AND THE HUGE AND PROFITABLE BLACK ARMS TRADE AND OTHERS – HUGE PROFITS FLOODED INTO A PLACE WITH LESS THAN 2 MILLION 1960s TO 1980s GOVERNED BY A STRICT AND HONEST GOVERNMENT. My congratulations !

     It was only in the early 1990s that there was talk about FTs with the hidden intent to push the GDP after the collapse of the Black Trades.

     BUT LEE KUAN YEW WAS THOROUGHTLY BUTTERED UP BY THE GNOMES OF ZURICH AND LOST A HUGE SUM OF MONEY BY BEING AN ORDINARY INVESTOR AFTER DESCENDING FROM THE LOFTY HEIGHTS OF THE GIC WITH SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST.

     He behaved under such circumstances mesmerised by the gnomes and nearly lost all. Singapore is now in the hands of the gnomes as long as she exposes herself to the vicissitudes of the common market place and does NOT BEHAVE LIKE A SOVEREIGN STATE WITH NATIONAL INTEREST TO PROTECT. The difference between Men and Boys is the quality of their toys !

     Concomitantly, our beloved Malaysia was screwed by a Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership and its equally corrupt elites which knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT MONEY, DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Congratulations on Khazanah ! You have the COURAGE TO BITE THE SILVER BULLET. This is the Way to go Tun ! YOUR WAY ! This is actually one of the many SECRETS of GOOD MANAGEMENT ! Acheh !

193. Tun

     We must now acknowledge that the sing-along every morning beginning 6.50 a.m. is now a normal occasion. I am glad and happy that the bulbuls and the urbanised golden oriole do not feel threatened and made my neighbourhood their homes. One good thing leads to another.

     This morning I woke up and had the feeling that the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side is and will be the only chance for a Government of decency and normality to LEAD THE COUNTRY FOR ANOTHER 61 YEARS ! Apart from this, I do not see anyone suitable at the present time. Why ? You all forgot, ugh ?

     1. THE FIRST GENERATION OF MALAY ELITES WERE WIPED OUT WITH THE BMF AFFAIR – 1980-83. Only ONE indomitable elite survived

     2. THE SECOND GENERATION OF MALAY ELITES WERE WIPED OUT WITH THE RENONG AFFAIR – 1990-1997

     3. THE THIRD GENERATION OF MALAY ELITES WERE WIPED OUT WITH THE DANAHARTA AFFAIR. 2004-2018. Only one survived, a Christ’s man (Christ’s College, Cambridge) !

     The common traits concerning their failures were women, money and travel in large doses. As all doctors will say,’ You may do anything but do not abuse the privilege.’ Singapore and bad Chinamen were involved somewhere, somehow, sometime.

     HENCE, THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE IS THE ONE AND ONLY CHANCE FOR US MALAYSIANS IF WE DO NOT WANT CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION TO BECOME REFUGEES WHICH NEARLY HAPPENED VIA THE TPPA/CPTPP THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER ! It is the CONSTITUTION THAT MATTERS TOGETHER WITH THE YANG DI-PERTUAN AGONG AND THE ROYAL SULTANS WHICH HOLD OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TOGETHER !

     As my billionaire friend with the Remington franchise from Beach Road, Singapore once told me a long time ago, ” We have only 2 legs. When the horse of opportunity comes, you must jump on it. Otherwise, you will never be able to catch it again as we only have 2 legs.’ To cut this short, OPPORTUNITY ONLY KNOCKS ONCE NOT TWICE.”

     The New and Incorruptible Government with its Ministers has the opportunity to make good by working as a TEAM in the National Interest by being in CONTROL FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS. It is my fervent belief that THIS IS POSSIBLE WITH NORMAL ADMINISTRATION by those who only seek GLORY and NOT MONEY. Those who have MONEY in mind, please resign and do business.

     And which are the key Ministries ?

     Definitely not the Ministry of Finance because in a normal administered country, this Ministry is the most boring and colourless – this should be so.

     In Malaysia, the most important Ministries are those connected with TOURISM, NATURAL RESOURCES, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND WELFARE, E-BIZ with SECURITY as an adjunct. These provide the potential and opportunities for the Rakyat and their children as they ascend the gravy train in a NORMAL COUNTRY.

     THE GOVERNMENT MUST NOT ONLY LOOK AFTER AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR WELFARE BUT PLAN THE STEPS AHEAD FOR THEM. Easier said than done.

     All countries provided lower salaries to public leaders and their civil servants augmented by perks because of the POWER they hold. To be fair to the peoples, you cannot have the cake (POWER) and eat it too (USE POWER TO MAKE OR STEAL MONEY). That’s DEMOCRACY WITH A CAPITAL D !

     See the wanton abuse of the POWER given to the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and BN Government and its equally corrupt elites ! And all these happened in a small country like Malaysia ! It was ultimate horror of horrors ! At the end of the day, none of them was remorseful.

     But with a Normal and Motivated Mind-set, the New and Incorruptible Government and its Ministers can do the job of serving the Rakyat NORMALLY AND BELIEVE THEY CAN BE IN POWER FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS AND NOT 61 MONTHS !

     This Government is the best and only CHANCE left for our beloved Malaysia to make good the promise of being one of the 4 important small countries of the World, Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. With Malaysia on the way upwards to the Greats of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. IF THESE COUNTRIES COULD DO IT, SO CAN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA !

     We must have self-respect, confidence and motivation, and must not think that the grass is greener on the other side or an ISRAELI BETTER THAN A MALAYSIAN.

     NOW WITH THE NEW INFORMATION ON THE REAL SINGAPORE WITH ITS COLD-WAR ARMS TRADING NOW LOST TO THE BRICS, BLUFFOLOGY OR BS, ONLY 900,000 CHINESE MALES AGED 21-51, A DEAD GDP FOR 16 YEARS FROM 2002-2018, AND NO NEW RABBITS OUT OF THE HAT SINCE THE FAILURE OF THE 4 INITIATIVES eg TEMASEK, FT IMPORTS, 2 CASINOS, TPPA/CPTPP THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER, LEE KUAN YEW FEET WERE MADE OF CLAY WITH 47 FAILED PUBLIC POLICIES, can anyone propose otherwise ?

     Malaysia with the present opportunity should now strengthen its legal System beginning with the Constitution by amending it thus :

     ” NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE SOLD, TRANSPORTED OR EXPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE.”

     State rights are not affected as treated water is not involved.

     THIS CREATES A NEW INDUSTRY FOR THE STATES TO MAKE MONEY FOR ITS RAKYAT BY WAY OF TREATING AND SELLING THE WATER TO ANYONE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Malaysia is an interesting country to be ruled over by the New and Incorruptible Government for the next 61 years, not 61 months !

194. Tun

     It is always a good time for a New and Incorruptible Government to assume POWER and reset the whole Agenda with forward looking Policies which benefit the Rakyat only. And the time to do it is now.

     With all the little political bickerings and skirmishes aside, I find socio-economic endeavours in broad strokes stimulating and interesting. Here are some headlines which popped up today :-

     1. ” TO PLANT BAMBOO AND PINEAPPLES WAS ONLY A SUGGESTION SO SAID A YB MINISTER ”

     From a Minister responsible for the export of major commodities, this sounds funny because for decades Government after Government had urged small-holders to plant fruits, vegetables or what have you without due consideration to the markets which must govern the profitability and ease of production of these agricultural produce.

     It is a wonder to me why agro-based produce never took off under the aegis of the Governments but the Private Sector seems to do quite well on their own like ginger, pepper, cocoa and other produce.

     Something must be wrong somewhere. Is is Corruption again or just lip-service ?

     Thailand made huge advances in their agricultural practices. Soon to be followed by Vietnam and Indonesia. May be our small-holders are not provided with back-up advice and services for the rainy day which must come in the agricultural industry.

     2. ” Malaysia China sign US$ 891 Million of palm oil purchase deal.’

     This is kudos to the Government. A headline like this warms my heart. But a swallow does not make an Indian Summer.

     Palm oil competes against at least 8 other edible oils on the Planet.

     This is an area where all out efforts should be focussed all the time as there are unexpected detractors against the palm oil.

     Up-to-date information culled every day and the Minister/ Ministry should not react when it is too late.

     Just look at the absurdity of Richard Branson’s statement on the abolishment of the death penalty in favour of it whilst in the same breathe his liberal minded contemporaries condemn the clearing of forests for oil palm planting for the betterment of the poor countries and their peoples concerned. These folks did the same centuries ago.

     Western media plays an important part in swaying public opinion in the West which has as many ignorant people as in the East.

     And the Minister must never forget that no one owns our beloved Malaysia a free lunch because there is no such thing like a free lunch in this World.

     Just look at Singapore impoverished of ALL NATURAL RESOURCES EVEN WATER.

     In other words, our thinking must never be numbed by complacency.

     Sell the palm oil to all and sundry, India, Middle East, Africa, China and East Asia, Europe and America. Sell high or low, just to keep the momentum going and flood out all the other oils while the going is good. Good luck !

     3. ” Policy to attract clusters of Japanese SMEs to come to Sabah, Sarawak or the FTZs as part of their production chain. ” This is my self- created headline.

     There is a wide open opportunity for the Government to invite a major Japanese group/s like Mitsui to promote and organise a chain of SMEs to set up shop in Sabah, Sarawak or the FTZs provided there are guarantees for 30 years, cheap land, public facilities sited near major towns like Kota Kinabalu or Kuching which have no problem with logistics.

     The frequent floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, high labour and land costs in Japan will be attractive for part of the Japanese manufacturing chains to come to Malaysia.

     This should be the feather in our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir’s cap

     – TO UPSCALE MALAYSIA WITH A SME CHAIN FROM A DEVELOPED COUNTRY WHICH MAY BE JAPAN, CHINA, SOUTH KOREA, OR EVEN INDIA.

     Malaysia still has lands for this purpose and the FTZs too.

     The Minister for Entrepreneurs not of Entrepreneurs would do very well working on this to fill this gap in our economy instead of toying about with toy planes with the kids wasting RM 1 Million in the process.. IT IS THE BROAD STROKES WHICH COUNT TO MAKE UP THE BROAD PICTURE !

     How happy we will be when these SME CLUSTERS POP UP IN SABAH, SARAWAK AND THE FTZs !

     And to make these clusters successful, these can all be done AT MINIMAL COSTS CHEAPLY AND QUICKLY ! WHO WOULD NOT VOTE FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AGAIN IN THE 15TH GE ?

     4. ” MAZLEE PROMISES TO RESTORE RM 250 BOOK VOUCHERS FOR STUDENTS ”

     Kudos to my favourite YB Minister who is never short of ideas. At least he is seen to make an effort except for that Kim Eng Securities/Maybank caper. Our favourite YB Minister learns quickly from mistakes.

     THIS IS PROGRESS UNLIKE SOME WHO SAID THEY NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE IN THE LIVES ! These folks never left their cradles.

     I love books and libraries since young.

     All schools should have big libraries and the rural and new villages augmented by mobile libraries in keeping with our development and service to the Rakyat.

     Look at all those billions of stolen ringgits which went for self-enjoyment by BN Leaders who were voted in by the Rakyat ! Corrupt and uncaring !

     Dormitories should be attached to major SMKs in towns for the children attending secondary schools from the kampongs or the new villages.

     We must up-grade our education facilities for all Rakyat in a cheap and rational way. There should be no more lip-service anymore.

     I am certain our YB Minister has his heart in the right place. Kudos to him. Books, books, books for kids from the Primary Sekolahs and on would be a good Policy !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Back to selling palm oil and other products in a NORMAL MANNER IS THE WAY TUN ! Your Way !

     On this Monday morning all the birds have come to nest with the pair of bulbuls in full-song and the urbanised golden oriole in accompaniment. All this music began at 6.50 a.m. No one is going to stop these feathered friends from their sing-a-long because they have never heard of Monday blues. Their songs cleared my head for the new week ahead.

     How can any one miss the headlines these days ?

     1. ” GREATER BAY AREA THREATEMS SOMGAPORE FINANCE AND TECH STATUS.”

     2. ” MOHD. REDZUAN : BIG NAMES HAVE COME KNOCKING OVER FLYING CAR PROJECT. ”

     3. ” ECONOMY WILL RECOVER AT YEAR’S END.”

     1. Singapore has been under threat since the end of the Cold War when she lost the very profitable Black Under Counter Trades of arms trading, sanctions breaking, money-laundering etc to the BRICS.

     To be precise, the loss was 2%-3% of the GDP which was exposed by 2002 with the first technical recession. Since 2002, Singapore economy has not recovered – 2002-2019. Singapore elites are still talking on projects which are either greenfield or experimental. None of those big revenue earners of the Cold War like arms trading, sanctions breaking, money laundering etc of the Cold War will ever return again.

     Even the Singapore Stock Exchange is way below the Hong Kong Stock Exchange which is highly liquid to attract more and more investors.

     With all economic indicators sliding downwards, Singapore is now hit by the biggest rival of all the Greater Bay Area which consists of Guangdong, Macau and Hong Kong with a population of more than 70 million, ranging from capitalism to authoritarianism.

     This Concept can only succeed at the expense of Singapore which lost her opportunity by creating the TWIN MALAY THREATS OF INDONESIA AND MALAYIS AS BOGEYMEN. The dog in the manger attitude of Lee Kuan Yew in ASEAN for over 30 years who did nothing for Singapore vis-a-vis ASEAN because of his uppity ways.

     Time and money were spent chasing a mirage to do down Malaysia which failed miserably.

     Because after all his efforts using the resources of the State of Singapore, MALAYSIA IS STILL STANDING STRONG, PROUD AND CONFIDENT.

     Not only that Malaysia is now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. With the New and Incorruptible Government, Malaysia is fast trekking upwards towards the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     Lee Kuan Yew’s obsession with Malaysia was dangerous in the sense that he took the wrong route. This was disastrous because it failed despite his efforts to conjure 4 INITIATIVES to put down Malaysia and pull up Singapore for his inheritors.eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, the 2 casinos, the FT imports and the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP. All failed.

     Without a life-boat in a tumultuous sea and without its natural resource BLUFFOLOFY OR BS in support, Singapore’s future is very bleak.

     With wisdom, the correct Singapore route would have been to form ASEAN like the GREATER BAY AREA PROJECT IN SINGAPORE’S INTERESTS. But with the funny attitude that BLACK IS BLACK, WHITE IS WHITE ONLY FOR MALAYSIA, how ?

     And from the sublime to the ridiculous, Singapore’s elite forgot for over 25 years about the subject of their eternal adoration, Lee Kuan Yew’s credits and goodwill with the World which may be utilised to Singapore’s advantage. With time this valuable asset will diminish in value. This is one of the fall-outs from the dangerous obsession with Malaysia. The cost is incalculable ! The Time and Money lost !

     3. All the media pundits claim that there will be a slow down for Malaysia this 2019. What are the causes of the slow down ? thus :-

     1. The fractured UMNO-Private Business Sector Nexus. This has been broken and caused a lot of dismay and hair-tearing.

     2. The constant loss of manufactured goods markets to rivals because the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites did nothing to show the way for the Rakyat to make money from 2004-2018. They were walloping so much of the Rakyat’s money that they had no time to develop inclusive Policies for the good of all eg.exclisive mega projects in KL etc.

     4. The lack of real industrial projects which should have been created over 30 years ago now show because of political constraints.

     5. General World trading trends and patterns.

     6. Domestic Political Sentiment/Unhappiness of local and foreign investors. If the Fed takes a more aggressive stance to balance its books, watch-out all stock and commodities exchanges !

     However, I am of the opinion that as long as the New and Incorruptible Government gets its act together and avoid gaffes or shooting themselves in the foot with toy planes or make oneself the Vice-Chancellor or have a nursery in the august halls of the Dean Rakyat etc, the general economy will improve if the Government re-examines similar scenarios in the 1980s and the 1990s ! Where to stimulate ? How to stimulate ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Before I finished talking, THE CARPETBAGGERS TURNED UP BY THE DROVES CONCERNING THE TOY PLANE AS CONFIRMED BY OUR YB DATO SERI REDZUAN YUSOF. I assume he has not heard of the still-born Melaka plastic plane or Sime Darby was in bed with Boeing or stories of this ilk ? I like to suggest that a better way which is not so glamorous is to encourage Malaysian cuisines to link up with the Tourist and the Halal Export Business. And to promote e-biz for the young who are qualified but may not have a university degree. There are so many opportunities for our YB to make good. But the toy plane is sure to crash in flames if it ever flies !

196. Tun

     In recent weeks or whenever the opportunity occurred, the Singapore Government Leadership has been saying, ” MALAYSIA DID NOT REQUEST A REVIEW IN 1987 ” This is true, very true.

     Now let us put our thinking caps on and look upon this fact within the context of all which can and could happen in Singapore over the course of time. History is the finest arbiter of the TRUTH. And we are talking about important matters at the highest and loftiest levels of human endeavours which are about Governments of States in question.

     1. IT IS ALLEGED THAT GERMAN AND AUSTRALIAN DRUG MULES CONVICTED AND GIVEN THE DEATH PENALTY IN SINGAPORE WERE RELEASED WITHOUT A SQUEAK BY THE GOVERNMENT OF SINGAPORE. Australia and Germany are deemed to be might States and not to be bullied by the tiny State of Singapore.

     The Principle of the Rule of Law which has been so steadfastly maintained by the Singapore Government when it suited them, was broken in more ways than one. Sauce for the gander. Nothing for the goose.

     The fact was the Laws of Singapore were broken by the Government themselves. Both the Australian and the German should have been hanged until dead like all the others before or after them according to existing Singaporean Laws.

     But it is alleged double standards were practised by the Singapore Government.

     2. IN COMPARISON, THE SINGAPOREAN LEADERSHIP KEPT ON HARPING ON LEE KUAN YEW’S DICTAT THAT MALAYSIA DID NOT REQUEST FOR A REVIEW OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT IN 1987. The prerogative of this request rested with Malaysia which did not do so in the INTERESTS OF COMITY OR FOR REASONS OF ITS OWN.

     If the drug mules could be released scot- free against the prescribed laws of Singapore, WHY MUST IT BE DIFFERENT WITH A REASONABLE AND LOGICAL REQUEST TO REVIEW THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT BY MALAYSIA WHICH NOW RIDES THE HIGH HORSE OF MORALITY !

     (i) Because Malaysia did not request a Review in 1987, IT MEANT SINGAPORE GAINED BY WAY OF THE 3 SEN PER ONE THOUSAND GALLONS FROM 1987 TO 2019 – another 32 years of undeserved profits. This was another 32 years of profits instead of trying to label the Malaysian Government of being neglectful or whatever as insinuated !

     (ii) For Malaysia to request a Review in 2019 IS NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY BUT A REASONABLE AND LOGICAL REQUEST. FOR SINGAPORE TO DENY THIS IS NOT ONLY UNFAIR BUT IMMORAL PROFITEERING AT THE EXPENSE OF A POOR NATION ! No one in this World can deny Malaysia’s logical and reasonable request which is now accused with snide remarks of all descriptions. As the late Tun Ismali Mohd. Ali Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia sometimes said, ‘IT STINKS’

     (iii) The whole World knows that Malaysia is now poor and facing hard times. Malaysia with good reason and intention, permitted a non-Review in 1987 so that Singapore could thrive because the Leadership knew at that time water was not the main issue between friendly Nations like Malaysia and Singapore.

     (iv) The late split of the Stock Exchange in 2000 was another example of goodwill and understanding by Malaysia, as if Malaysia did not know about the yo-yo hanky panky which operated out of the unofficial-dom of Singapore as engineered by Dr Goh Keng Swee.

     (v) Further, the dally rejoinders from the Singaporean Leadership smacked of thoughtless and superficial considerations probably based on its perceived belief of long ago that the Malaysians are corrupt, stupid and lazy.

     But they forgot that in the World of e-biz, all are EQUALISED ! Hence, the Singapore of today is struggling with its economy UNLIKE THE SINGAPORE OF YESTERDAY !

     (vi) As I said before, SINGAPORE APPLIES ONE LAW FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD AND ANOTHER FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ! I do not know the reason for this. The Singaporeans are the best people to explain why this is so !

     TO KEEP ON HARPING THAT MALAYSIA DID NOT REQUEST FOR A REVIEW OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT IS IMMORAL AND ILLOGICAL UNBECOMING A SELF-PROCLAIMED CITY STATE AS THE 1ST OR 2ND IN THE WORLD FOR MOST THINGS.

     But where is the Humanity with Compassion which are important
     attributes to a successful State but operated on double standards in without considering all matters within the context of time and history ?

     MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES ! What happens if due to CLIMATE CHANGE MALAYSIA HAS NO WATER TO DELIVER TO SINGAPORE ? This is an act of God and not an act by the Malaysians. How ?

     It is obvious now that WATER IS THE MOST PRECIOUS COMMODITY FOR HUMANKIND, THEREFORE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA SHOULD CONSERVE, SAFEGUARD AND PROTECT ITS WATER RESOURCE FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS, thus :-

     Amend the Constitution, ‘ NO UNTREATED OR RAW WATER MAY BE SOLD, EXPORTED OR TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WITH SINGAPORE.’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. We must always realise that the tiny isle of Singapore is always on the back foot ! NO BLUFFOLOGY OR BS FOR US, WE ARE MALAYSIANS !

197. Tun

     On this Sunday morning when all is calm and quiet, a thought constantly plagued my mind. It is the stupendous 403% profit made by IHH in just one quarter of the calendar.

     This gives rise to more questions than answers. Why ?

     This was what I have been doing in my LIFE – RESTRUCTURING THE BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE LAND SCREWED UP BY CROOKS ! Here is the list :-

     1. 1964-1970 – Restructure my own family business racked by corruption and lethargy.
     2. 1966-1968 – I initiated the first take-over of a listed company on the Stock Exchange and restructured it.
     3. 1972-1975 – With the support of Tun Abdul Razak the Prime Minister and his aide, YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, my concept of 1972 was not only to give the Malays with 2% of the Malaysian, a BIG BUSINESS but also to RESTRUCTURE IT which was done eventually.

     For this effort in the National Interest and fair-play for all, I was called ‘A MALAY BUM-SUCKER’ BY THE MCA TYPES WHO EVENTUALLY ENDED UP IN JAIL ! For 18 years as a non- executive Director of Sime Darby, my emoluments before tax was RM 500,000 ! There was no SCANDAL AND BANKRUPTCY IN SIME DARBY UNTIL I WAS KICKED OUT BY THE EXECUTIVES WHOSE JOBS I CREATED FOR THEM ! They were holding lowly jobs before Sime Darby which was bankrupted by them at RM 1.2 Billion in 1996 and RM 2.10 Billion in 2010. They carried on regardless. No one was charged. No one was jailed.

     4. 1975-1984 -. MIDF and the Consortium of 5 banks, HSBC, Chartered, Bangkok Bank, UMBC invited me to restructure the BIGGEST CORPORATE SCANDAL IN THE 1970s – Folex Industries Berhad. This took me 9 years with a salary of RM 7,000 per month and an Alfa Romeo. I made millions of ringgits for the shareholders. At the end, the MIDF Consortium got back all their loans and walked away as though nothing happened even though I was the last Managing Director who did not run away after 2 weeks. I stayed for 9 years managing this textile factory with 1,200 Malay workers on 3 shifts in peace and harmony in a BN/MCA Constituency of Taiping.
     5. 1979-1982.- MTI was taken over by me for RESTRUCTURING.
     6. 1988-1990 – Renong was taken over by me for RESTRUCTURING. This saved a major political organisation in turmoil ! The new owner did not consult me who created the horse, how to ride it because he was in irrelevant exuberance and was in the wrong Chinese company. He crashed in flames like Icarus and the Sun !
     7. 2000-01. Multi-Purpose was RESTRUCTED BY ME from an idea which I had in 1997 ! Later, little fellows appeared in the media to denigrate me all the time.
     8. Present day, I try to contribute my thoughts for the betterment of our beloved Malaysia from my experience DEALING WITH CROOKS WHO SCREWED UP ALL THE ENTERPRISES WHICH I MENTIONED.

     It is alleged that IHH is like a sore thumb which sticks out against the negative factors which caused the downfall of business enterprises which I have mentioned. Here are the alleged negatives :-

     It is alleged that most Singaporeans who operate out of Singapore in Malaysia do the following in their businesses :-

     (i) Income Tax Evasion – I know of an authentic case which was reported in a Malay Mail Headline in 1974 that a Singaporean plantation company evaded income tax and was fined RM 4 Million. I knew the income tax should have been much higher which was negotiated in JB. By the time these Singaporeans were caught, they were already BILLIONAIRES !

     (ii) Written off ‘B’ goods in Singapore were sold in Malaysian shops owned by Singaporeans.

     (iii) Magazines imported into Malaysia by Singaporean franchisee holders were ONE month late. By chance, I discovered that the magazine-sellers in Singapore collect back all the unsold magazines by the 21st of each month. I asked them why ? They told me this was for distribution to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

     (iv) The importation of fruits is another cross- border play.

     (v) At least one Singaporean became a BILLIONAIRE by share-rigging out of Batu Pahat before the split of the Stock Exchange in 2000 !

     (vi) Cross-border transactions always provided the loop-hole for negative acts through different jurisdictions which made supervision and monitoring difficult to follow.

     (vii) As my friend the richest Muslim in India told me, ‘ How you price generic drugs when these have no price ?’

     (viii) There were earlier episodes involving the management with Indian investors in Singapore in which as usual Khazanah paid the price.

     (ix) May be as alleged that this is not a tango made for two but 2 Sikhs and one other from the Land of Bluffology or BS !

     My congratulations to Khazanah for divesting s bit of the IHH – the more the better ! May be this is not a Potemkin show coupled with a Ponzi scheme like Madoff of New York in a staid business which investment returns only come through 25 years ! I could be wrong.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until the FOREIGN CARPETBAGGER ARRIVES !

198. Tun

     Further to my comment that the New and Incorruptible Government should carry out its duties as though it will be in POWER for the next 61 years, out of curiosity I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOUR MINISTERS WITHIN ONE MONTH OF THEIR APPOINTMENTS DID THE FOLLOWING :-

     Arranged a 1 hour appointment to do the following –

     1. Seek your views and vision for the Ministry which they hold ?

     2. Express their views about their own Ministries to you to find out your reactions and more advice.

     3. Give you a monthly thumb-nail sketch of their work and developments in their Ministries as a monthly follow-up for you to keep easy tabs of all Ministries.

     And their Deputy Ministers – DID THEY DO THE SAME TO THEIR MINISTERS ?

     Let us all hope all the above-mentioned points happened and not at Cabinet meetings.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

199. Tun

     How many Malaysians realise that you have the greatest opportunity to create a great Nation out of our beloved Malaysia today ?

     From the ashes of Immorality to rise again to the Glory of Morality !

     The opportunity to carve out in stone for all Malaysians and their future Leaders to build on as no Nation could stop and just say the job of Nation building is over and done with. Nation building is ETERNITY !

     Just look at the great United States the greatest Nation on earth.

     Suddenly there comes along a fellow from nowhere but the Bronx and said his Way is the Way to govern and tore up all the Treaties he did not like and threw them into the bin. And France, the home of Freedom, Egalitarianism, Legalities. Yet many people are dissatisfied and in turmoil.

     How many Malaysians are aware that you have the POWER to exert your views and vision, and provide answers for the future generations of Malaysians to come via a tome “MY WAY” in Bahasa, Mandarin Tamil and English ?

     Every great Nation which exists today and in the United Nations had a Leader or Leaders who inspired their peoples by showing them the WAY !

     America had Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy. Nixon, Reagan etc. France had Charles de Gaulle, Germany had Adenauer, Merkel, Britain had Winston Churchill, Thatcher. India Gandhi, Nehru. China Mao, Deng Xiao Peng, Japan Emperor Akihito, Abe, Indonesia Sukarno, Thailand King Bhumiphol, Vietnam Ho Chi Minh and the list goes on.

     It is upon you, Tun, that our beloved Malaysia has the greatest chance to survive this period of reckless abandon to IMMORALITY AND LACK OF SELF-RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE – 2004-2018 due to many negative factors eg. from little instigators in the neighbourhood to Israelis in the Prime Minister’s boudoir !

     Sanity disappeared in a jiffy as things stood between 2004-2018 under the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elite.

     Political virtues if any must be stressed for the as yet unborn generations to come.

     It is good if these are supported by the hard evidence of IMMORALITY AND MALFEASANCE IN DISPUTE WITH THE RAKYAT’S TRUST. The many breaches of Trust which were done with the full knowledge that these were wrong but yet were done without due consideration to the wishes of the Rakyat who gave them the POWER.

     After just 7 months for the YBs in the saddle of POWER, all performed as though tomorrow being the next 15th GE as the expiring date.

     My view is that THIS NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE MUST WORK IN UNISON AS THOUGH THIS GOVERNMENT WILL GOVERN FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS ! It is the mind-set which keep the folks together. By by MCA !

     There have been criticisms on SADDIQ’s YOUTH.

     These showed how IGNORANT THESE CRITCS ARE. If they have a medical problem, they do not mind going under the knife of a 24 year old doctor ! See how absurd these critics are within the context of a logical argument. ALL DOCTORS QUALIFIED BETWEEN 24 -25 YEARS OLD !

     You were politically minded as long ago as 1943 ! I was saving the life of a young 12 year old Malay diabetic with collapsed veins from Kampong Baru at midnight with cold sweat and shaking hands at 25 years old !

     IF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT IS IN PLACE IN 61 YEARS TIME, SADDIQ WILL STILL BE A YOUNG 85 YEARS OLD ! No problem.

     However, there will be many more hills and mountains for SADDIQ to climb which I am confident he can do so in time after many pitfalls to come. That’s LIFE with a capital L !

     And one of the first tasks is to clean out the Geriatric and Incompetent Olympic Council of Malaysia because if they did work, our Dato Seri Nicole would have won 4 Gold Medals for Malaysia betwee 2004-2019.
     To show its importance, the Olympic Council of Malaysia was chaired by the great statesman, Tun Abdul Razak himself 1964 -1974. There was no hanky-panky. In 1972, Malaysia won a Gold at a shooting event at the Teheran Asian Games.

     New fangled sports like moguls, free-style skiing etc which were pre-dated by Squash by at least 100 years are now recognised as Olympic sports ! AS IT IS SAID THE ROT BEGINS IN THE FISH HEAD NOT THE BODY !

     The finest legacy by our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will be his MAGNUM OPUS FOR ALL MALAYSIANS TO TOE THE LINE OF UNITY THROUGH DIVERSITY. No use talking about it by those who only talk and do nothing.

     IT IS NOW OR NEVER FOR MALAYSIANS TO LIVE WORK AND ENJOY TOGETHER.

     This might take 800 years like the Confederation of Switzerland, or 3,000 years like Good Governance Japan or even 5,000 years like Democratic India. But at the end of the day, IT IS VERY WORTHWILE LIKE THE SWISS, THE JAPANESE, THE INDIANS, today !

     Malaysians being upright proud and strong peoples should NOT DESTROY THEMSELVES by desires for women, money and lethargy which ALL CAN DO WITHOUT BEING SPECIAL It is the NORMAL BEHAVIOUR WHICH COUNTS AT THE END OF THE DAY which all Nations of the World have been doing for centuries !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as we now have a Brilliant and Courageous Leader to engrave in stone his VISION for the future of our beloved Malaysia and her generations to come. WE WILL ALL BE THERE !

200. Tun

     After so many years of being told that that the 1962 Water Agreement with Singapore is non-negotiable, may be it is time that Malaysia should study the ways and means of protecting its depleting natural resources in the interests of the generations to come.

     The first natural resource is Water which has been the subject of disputes and wars the World over. Without Water, there is no LIFE ! And not many countries are as fortuitous as us Malaysians.

     Now, we waste water with abandon – in offices, malls, public offices, underground pipes along the roads which are still made of asbestos I believe. Copper pipes have been used in Western countries long ago. With corruption and the money so misplaced, public facilities are neglected from water pipes to pot-holes along the roads which are augmented by more and more corrupt DBKL bumps to put more money into the pocket of officials.

     Our children need to be taught about the conservation of water and the fact that without Water, there is no LIFE.

     At the moment, there are short periods of water shortage in certain parts of the country which do not raise an alarm or crisis. But in the future, each State may have to assist one another with water. This is the time to prepare for future contingencies to come. To obviate such crisis, this is the reason why the Rakyat elected the leaders in the first place – to lead and to protect the Rakyat from harm. Here are two performances by one a BN Official and another his successor who took his place.

     1. When the MH17 was shot down over Ukraine, the BN Minister said, ‘ NO ONE ASK US NOT TO FLY THERE.’ By shirking responsibility, 180 innocent lives were lost !

     2. Present day Minister gave the directive to the airlines to avoid Indian and Pakistani air-space. Prevention is better than cure.

     Similarly on the question of the conservation of Water for the use of Malaysians without wastage, we should marshal all YBs in the Dewan Rakyat to amend the Constitution thus :-

     ” NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE SOLD, EXPORTED OR TRANSPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE.’

     This will be your eternal legacy for all generations of Malaysians – to lock in the raw or untreated water for use only by Malaysians.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. It is time Malaysia calls a spade a spade within the context of SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST.

201. Tun

     Surprisingly, the pair of chirping and singing bulbuls were back in the young banyan tree this morning. The wonderful sounds wafted from their nest at least a few minutes before 7 a.m. sharp with the haunting and plaintive cry of the urbanised golden oriole providing the background accompaniment to this duo. What a way for a Malaysian morning to begin ?

     The headlines crackled this morning with their intensity of urgency. The sort of headlines which a person who is interested in current affairs could not avoid.

     1. ” RICHARD BRANSON COMMENDS MALAYSIA ON DECISION TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY. ”

     2. ” MALAYSIA DID’NT MEET ITS TOURISM GOAL FOR 018 DUE TO A FALL IN S’PORE VISITORS ”

     3. ” FGV REPORTS RM 1 BILLION LOSS IN FY 18 DUE TO IMPAIRMENTS AND PROVISIONS.”

     4. ” PAYMENT OF RM 550 MILLION TO AES REPORTED TO MACC.”

     5. ” IHH SEES 403% SURGE IN 4Q EARNINGS.”

     1. Richard Branson loves publicity about himself from young and has spent millions of pounds to prove he was a pioneer of many adventuring enterprises.

     However, on his support for the abolishment of the death penalty in Malaysia, he is well-off the mark. As he hardly knows the place and does not reside here at all to see for himself the many young drug addicts Malaysia has and the rampant murders which are not uncommon in this important nexus of crossroads of the World.

     In the United Kingdom, stabbings, acid throwing, bombings, car terrorism, radioactive poisoning, etc take place daily. It was not like this not too long ago. All these incidents happened to the common folk who walk the streets unlike Richard Branson.

     In Malaysia which is still a developing country and has many places undeveloped. The transport system is rudimentary. Many citizens are at risk with an over-stretched PDRM.

     It is all very well to say something nice to the Western liberal media in a cosy salon in London. But the reality is Malaysia has to have the death penalty in the face of rising crimes murders and all. Until Malaysia further develops a few decades down the road, there and then, may be the death penalty could be abolished.

     2. The Singaporean Leadership is keen to gain kudos over Malaysia in its quest for a snap election, a colourless Budget and the urge to have some derring-do involving her contrived and self-created punching bag which is Malaysia.

     They tell us that we were nice and friendly when we lost the rocks due to the tango made for two, the KTM’s huge assets in Singapore which ended up as half of an office building, 1MDB being laundered, Malaysia spends 99% cost of the HSR with compensation for delays and converting the Jurong Golf Club into a mega multi-biilion dollar complex etc.

     Whichever way the dice is tossed, Singapore wins.

     But without a conniving mind, Malaysia is now one of 3 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     And for more tourists to come to Malaysia, our Minister should focus on India, China and the Middle East. After all, Singapore now only has 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.

     3. It is ridiculous to delude oneself that after a plantation has been corporatized, it is no longer a plantation but something else. All the traditional quide lines to manage it are thrown overboard.

     The key element in the management of a plantation is to build up a cash reserve when the rainy day comes. But the corrupt Management of FGV did the opposite and spent RM 12 Billion from its original RM 6 Billion cash reserve which eventually ended up with a RM 8 Billion debt for the small-holders to carry.

     The corrupt were not aware how much RM 1 Billion is worth to the honest planter or small-holder. Now the FELDA has no money to replant on the current down-turn of commodity prices to take advantage of the up-turn to come. Why Malaysians become CLOWNS in high places is a mystery to me ?

     4. The clownish behaviour of Malaysians in control of billions of ringgits cash which was turned into a stupendous debt of RM 8 Billion at the drop of an oil palm fruit is augmented by a more empty headed crookedness deal in the fact that the Ministry of Defence was purported to have paid RM 550 Million to AES for a system which was officially valued at RM 40 Million. But in fact I reckon its real worth was only RM 4 Million.

     At this rate of corruption, Malaysia could only buy HALF A RUSSIAN SUPER DUPER JET WITHOUT THE ENGINE instead of a squadron of fighting planes.

     No wonder our beloved Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad stressed that Singapore is militarily strong in view of their jets which really fly and soot.

     5. This IHH is trying to create waves of excitement by the Singapore CEO who claimed to collect RM 100 Million a year as salary besides other goodies under his control at the expense of the Malaysian Government and its shareholders the Rakyat. LUCKY FELLOW !

     To attain 403% in 1 quarter is better selling snake oil.

     As the British say, ‘ It’s a balls out announcement !’

     BUT WHAT ABOUT THE NEGATIVES IN AN INDUSTRY WHICH IS JUST LIKE THE HOTEL BUSINESS WHICH BASED ITS RETURNS OVER 25 YEARS AND NOT ON ONE SINGLE QUARTER !

     The trick of doing M & As to create TEMPORARY FANTASTIC PROFITS IS AS OLD AS THE SINGAPOREAN HILLS IN MALAYSIA !

     With foreign M & As, and cross border transactions, etc all controlled by one person ? ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE AN INDIAN SUMMER !

     There are certain parameters which no one CAN ESCAPE IN TIME ! This is not a business like the rocks which required 2 to tango but 3 to tango.

     The New and Incorruptible Government did the right thing by divesting such a nebulous and staid business which has no reason to USE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS OF THE RAKYAT’S MONEY TO UPGRADE A FOREIGN COUNTRY’S HEALTHCARE in Turkey, India, Singapore, China and Myanmor ! SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEHWHERE AS MY FRIEND WHO MANUFACTURES INDIAN GENERIC DRUGS SAID !

     And today, a YB announced that a small hospital will be built in SEMENYIH ! WHERE ARE YOU IHH ?

     WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

     Tun, the above headlines raised more questions than answers. As you have commented lately about unity amongst us Malaysians with an allusion towards the politicians now in POWER. Based on your attributes of 100% for INTEGRITY, 100% for CREDIBILITY and 100% for UNITY, I reckon the collective credits for the New and Incorruptible Government are only 40% for INTEGRITY, 30% for CREDIBILITY and 20% for UNITY.

     How ? These disparaging results show their view of their World is only as far as the next GE, just 3 years away. But as I have said before and also in support by your succinct comments on their mind-sets, ALL INCUMBENT GOVERNMENT LEADERS MUST WORK TOWARDS AS THOUGH THEY ARE IN POWER FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS !

     Forward looking with vision creativity and innovation. No sneaky looks at their behinds. Fight with hard-work to keep the POWER STAKES without dithering or with mosquito ideas and minds ! THE BROAD STROKES TO COMPLETE THE BIG PICTURE FOR THE RAKYAT.

     Do not be like the BN Minister of Law who created 2 Bankruptcy Acts and misled over 200,000 young Malays concomitant with another over 200,00 non-Malays.

     One old Act for those bankrupts before October 2017. A new Act for those after October 2017. THIS IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.

     When the 1982 Reform Marriage Act was promulgated, all marriages before 1982 were recognised. This was fair and just. Vide. The Star Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018. THIS LETTER CLAIMED THE BN MINISTER WAS INFLUENCED BY FINANCIAL INTERESTS which dared not do this in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

     How low could the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites go ? Bully the majority with the POWER of the minority !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as THOSE IN POWER ARE NOT SELF-SERVING IN THEIR OWN INTERESTS BUT IN THE RAKYAT’S INTEREST !

202. Tun

     With so much nonsense swirling around the country these days not on the question of integrity but credibility, that my feathered friend the singing bulbul in the young banyan tree flew away to some quieter haven. As expected, there was not a squeak or a chirp this morning at 7 a.m. sharp. He was AWOL !

     So, my thoughts turned on why our Malaysians when they achieved high places seem to lose their heads, their reasoning and their common sense.

     For example, Tun, you need a hall to accommodate all your Cabinet Ministers with their spouses in tow on the assumption that you did invite them all to attend your classified Cabinet meetings.

     I just cannot get over the fact that a mosquito brain of a Minister suggested to put a nursery in the august Dewan Rakyat with the undeclared intention of buttering up her supporters amongst the journalists, male or female with babes.

     This is an utter waste of the Rakyat’s hard-earned money. And this YB was shouting hoarse in defence of the Rakyat when she had no Rakyat’s money to spend.

     You were able to keep your two feet on the ground, your head in the right place and your 3 sens worth throughout your years in POWER. I know of only one similar case like yours – to be able to keep one’s senses !

     But from the utterances of those YBs who seemed to be out of touch with reality and common sense once they were in the saddle, it seems to belie the fact that they are FROM OR WITH THE RAKYAT for many years !

     Strange, Tun ! What to do with these legally qualified on a piece of paper to be a YB bolstered by the Rakyat’s tax free money !

     Then there was the announcement of spending RM 1 Million on a toy project promoted by unqualified people who claimed to have foreign support which will never take off successfully because others have tried the same in the developed countries since 1947 ! If these fellows ever read Popular Science since 1947 !

     This is a sheer waste of money spent on a project which was specially conjured to con someone.

     What about all those aged, the single mothers, the neglected children and the young addicts etc. These unfortunate souls are part of us and live amongst us every day.

     Where is the compassion from people who hold high positions to influence and benefit the unfortunate like those long suffering fellow citizens whom I just mentioned. RM 1 Million toy planes but not helping the disadvantaged ? Someone must really do his or her A, B, C again !

     And the list goes on and on, mosquito ideas coming from mosquito brains when they have the opportunity to learn and seek advice from the best mentor of all, our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     Tun, you know why all these fellows lost their heads ? IT IS THE FLATTERY, THE WONDERFUL DINNERS, THE JOSTLING CROWDS, THE ADULATION, THE ADORATION, ETC WHICH UNHINGED THEM ALL. So easy to sway them.

     Like as a matter of fact, you ask me, ‘Have another piece of cake ?’ I would not because its impolite, ill-mannered, greedy etc. But then this fellow claimed his wife was invited to the official negotiating table between two Governments. This is very much the same thing.

     In accordance with protocol, accreditation, locus standi, etc, madam should have gone shopping or sight-seeing otherwise Singapore will come up with the tale that a Malaysian Cabinet Minister’s wife trailed her husband right to the negotiating table in China.

     After years 0f political sexual peccadilloes of Malaysians 2004-2018, from the Australian bordellos to whatever in China or London or New York or Hollywood, have we not had enough of a very common subject of Humankind which is actually not abnormal at all ? Think !

     I HAVE NOTICED THAT FOREIGN CARPETBAGGERS TURNED UP IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY CHANGE OF THE GOVERNMENT EXCEPT TUN HUSSEIN ONN’S. Rothschild appeared in 1972 through its clients ! In the case of the New and Incorruptible Government, these fellows turned up in the Toy Plane Project which now costs RM 1 Million. I BET MY BOTTOM RINGGIT THAT THIS WILL COST MANY MILLIONS MORE RINGGIT WITHOUT THE PLANE FLYING OFFI MALAYSIAN SOIL. ACHEH ! As our Prof Jomo said ‘ Go and buy a ticket and fly to the East Coast !’ Acheh, man !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ? No problem. Integrity so far is with the New and Incorruptible Government which has to BURNISH ITS CREDIBILITY on propriety, standards, common sense, ethics, protocol, rule of the laws, nepotism, filial piety etc.
     It is time for our Ministers to separate their Law-keeping from their House-keeping Tun ! To be able to be on course for the next 61 years and not be a still-born !
     HAVE YOU NOTICED TUN ? Many pretenders are fond of the MBA which only make only managers by quoting the Sun Tzu ‘The Art of War’. But the 36 Steps Anthology are what make great leaders and tycoons !

203. Tun

     As I was saying this morning on the drop of Malaysia’s ethics, standards, integrity, common sense, logic, propriety etc between 2004-2018, I went on to describe how little things might add up to affect the New and Incorruptible Government of its credibility.

     By mid-day the media was bursting with the news that a Minister’s wife with no locus standing in the Government was photographed sitting at the official negotiating between China and Malaysia. No other country in the World has permitted this to happen.

     This is a breach of protocol whereby a person without locus standi and not officially accredited should not attend official meetings between Governments. Other points to consider are nepotism, propriety, common sense, logic, standards, etc.

     Our beloved Malaysia has been a laughing stock because of leaders with Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes.

     And do we find another set of leaders who are not well-versed with diplomatic protocol and for others given the opportunity to make snide remarks on a wife trailing her husband in China right up to the negotiating table ?

     Do not tell me Tun that you are the only one in our beloved Malaysia who uses your brain all the time !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until something out of this World happens !

204. Tun

     My friendly song bird the resident bulbul in the young banyan tree was in full song a few minutes before 7 a.m. sharp as if he was on Viagra. I discovered he has a mate too when I saw them frolicking around their nest later in the morning.

     It is good we have flora and fauna in our towns and countryside unlike Lee Kuan Yew who once denuded Singapore without any bird until he was forced to employ a British ornithologist to find out why. The answer was simple. Lee Kuan Yew chopped down all the trees bearing flowers, fruits and worms. The birds flew off to JB !

     It seems to me that the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the new, and the good and the great is now in a crisis of sorts concerning their credibility not integrity.

     Announcements were made off the cuff in haste after being diddled by loaded questions from reporters prompted by their Opposition editors of NSTP, the Star etc. To get a real feel of the past 8 months, here is a list of announcements which reflect on the credibility of the YBs involved.

     1. Black shoes
     2. Swimming pools in hotels
     3, Merging the two science and arts stream – without due consideration ?
     4. A Vice Chancellor who facilitated an over Billion Ringgit Kim Eng Securities deal via Maybank for a piece of paper owned by lee Kuan Yew’s sister-in-law, the second wife of his brother.
     5. To assuage the hardships of teachers without them asking for it.
     6. A New Bill to catch bottom-pinchers from the Ministry in charge of the aged, single mothers, suffering children young drug addicts etc.
     7. To have a nursery in the august Dewan Rakyat for reporters, male or female with babies. First in the World.
     8. Close 1 km of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. It is like closing Oxford Street in London.
     9. To abolish the death penalty. This is the most laughable of all. To save the murderers lives who killed hundreds in the streets. Where is the logic ? Crime rates are already rising due to different factors.
     10. A flying motorcar produced in Malaysia. First, this idea has been in place since 1947. None succeeded. Second it is just ploy to con somebody and make money money money like that plastic airplane project in Melaka over 25 years ago. This fellow is now a billionaire. Third, Singapore and the World are already making fun of this Malaysian flying car !
     11. What happened to the meeting on palm oil between the EU and Malaysia after all the publicity ?

     Between 2004-2018, Malaysia experienced the biggest drop in our standards, propriety, ethics, honesty, integrity,logic, common sense etc – virtues which make a people great. Corruption and nepotism corroded all that was good and respectable as these were the inputs from our Great Prime Ministers of the past, the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad from 1957-2003 – 46 years. The whole façade built up by these Great Prime Ministers were gone soon after 2003 and by 2018 even Israelis were in the Prime Minister’s boudoir with the Perdana Menteri’s Istana turned into a night club of sorts filled with Hollywood types, champagne and blondes a few years earlier. With the famished PAP cadres congesting the AVENUES looking for low hanging fruits with the help of the 4th Floor boys and their magic wands, it was fun and good times for the exclusive at the Rakyat’s expense.

     In the meantime according to international surveys, RM 1 TRILLION RINGGITS were siphoned out between 2002-2010 !

     Hence, the credibility of Malaysia and the Malaysians fell down to an all-time low by 9 May 2018.

     And if the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great despite of our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s leadership, thinks all is fine and dandy, I beg them to look outside our World in comparison with what happened between 2003-2018 !

     We were on the WAY to self-destruction through CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM with no standards, ethics, common sense, integrity, honesty, propriety, piety, logic etc whatsoever. We are lucky to be led by a brilliant and courageous Prime Minister today.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Our YBs must not think that because all are at peace and harmony, they are going to enjoy their jobs. Politics if practised in a fine manner gives fine rewards like in business. But if Politics is abused, the damage is immeasurable. It is good very good if you put these words in your Cabinet room. THE DIFFERNCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS IS THE QUALITY OF THEIR TOYS’.

     I missed the sound of birdsong from the resident bulbul in the young banyan tree this morning as my grand-daughter decided to take a day off. No problem.

     With the spare time in hand, I reached for my screen to view the latest.

     And these days, all detractors seem to focus their attention, from Singapore down to the kachang puteh seller, with intent to destroy the New and Incorruptible Government as led by the old and the young, the good and the great. No problem.

     All of these are fake news from a person’s age down to tolls and onto anything which could be created as fake news.

     I am most amused by those fake news produced by those who think they live forever and ever.

     For years, I never realised that I out-lived so many some of whom used to think I DIE FIRST. I am exceedingly happy I am still around in good health and spirits.

     As the years went by I began to notice that those who harmed me either got harmed themselves eventually or their wives or children died. The youngest was 40 years old.

     I have a crooked relative who cheated lied and stole. He died a painful death after lingering for 3 years. At the end, he could not stand it anymore and retreated to a Roman Catholic friary in Singapore. He came into this World with nothing and left with nothing ! What a waste !

     Those detractors who make snide remarks or laugh at elders beware of what may eventually be fallen upon them. Man proposes. God disposes.

     My other relatives who did not harm to anyone lived up to 94, 95, 96 and 100 ! The crook died at 70 !

     My list of 65 persons from the lowest to the highest was put up by me in the past 20 years when I began to notice why some of these detractors began to die or get what deserved for their negative actions.

     This list pointed out one thing which is common amongst these persons – THEY WERE ALL CROOKS. There were four who cheated me. The wives died within 3 years ! Of course, they have lots of money, money, money.

     In my life, I never ask another person how old he is or what is his profession. I do not assess a person on these qualities but based on friendship.

     Therefore, those who make fun of the elders with evil thoughts and expect them to die, may soon find themselves their own targets. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem, In their quest for POWER, the ambitious will employ all sorts of tactics to achieve their aims. Some may deploy sneaky Israelis in the Prime Minister’s boudoir or slimy Chinamen in the Prime Minister’s kitchen ! The human mind is full of ingenuity and crookedness, Tun !

206. Tun

     With your permission, I wish to add to my previous comment on the nefarious profit making activities in Malaysia 1946-2018 which I inadvertently left out, thus

     Addendum. ‘ 1977-1985. The MCA through its leaders went into business on the pretext that since the Malays got Sime Darby, the MCA as an organised political group also do business to protect the Chinese. These leaders ended up in jail and the whole concept was given up by 1986. My friend told me he remitted S$ 100 Million from Singapore to the Hong Kong account of a girl friend during those days.’ Who says there is discrimination in Malaysia !

207. Tun

     What is a better Monday morning than this ? My friend the song-bird bulbul is still in residence in the young banyan tree. He began to chirp and sing a few minutes before 7 a.m. sharp. and was quite unperturbed by the human noises around him, rumbling motorcars and screeching motorbikes as they sped off to work.

     There were no headlines of note this morning but an intriguing observation by a pundit thus, ‘ Malaysia is full of fakes, snake-oil salesmen, charlatans, etc….’ May I add the following to round up the farcical antics of today’s Malaysians like…

     1. ” SNEAKY ISRAELI IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S BOUDOIR ” for the love of SEX ? or

     2. ” SLIMY CHINAMAN FOUND IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S KITCHEN ” for the love of food, chicken rice ?

     You name it. The crooks have it. To go back to the basics again which I love and form an understanding of the lack of enforcement of the laws since the beginning of time in our beloved country, thus

     Chronology of unusual but very profitable ways to make money.

     1. 1946-1957. Tontine
     2. 1949-1957 MCA Social Welfare Lottery
     3. 1960-1962 Mushroom insurance companies
     4. 1961-1962 Fragmentation of estates
     5. 1962-2018 Share-rigging on the Stock Exchange
     6. 1971-1972 Gemini Chit Fund
     7. 1976-2018 Tax free RM 2 incorporated places of worship
     8. 1977-1985 Co-operatives linked with the Stock Exchange
     9. 1982-1983 Insurance companies guarantees.
     10. 2002-2004 Forex caper
     11. 2003-2005 Oil palm estate fund caper
     12 2012-2014 Gold Bullion caper

     Other illicit activities which are the direct concern of the PDRM like bookies, gambling, numbers, etc are not listed by me.

     Then we have the best profession for the young today without capital but Gift of the Gab being politics, NGOs and the Tax Free RM 2 incorporated places of worship. Here are the true examples.

     1. Politics are well-known and well-established in our beloved Malaysia

     2. NGOs.

     I know a true example where this lawyer out of 18,000 had a set of 2 rooms in my friend’s Wisma MPI and became the one and only. Lo and behold ! She donned a clean yellow T-shirt and walked the hot and humid streets of Kl with the mob munching a KFC. Lo and behold ! She was ennobled and has free access to those countries which deny they are racist and bigoted. Lo and behold ! She comes out now and then pointing her middle finger at her detractors to make herself relevant. Who says there is discrimination in our beloved Malaysia ?

     3. Tax Free RM 2 incorporated places of worship.

     Here are two golden examples of vision, creativity and innovation against all odds !

     a) My illiterate sister-in-law from Bentong worked as a hair-rinser in Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur. She established her own Tax Free RM 2 incorporate Church and made millions of ringgits from her worshippers. She invested the money in the Marble Arch area of London (MCA invested in North London) and made millions of pounds sterling ! Who says there is discrimination in our beloved Malaysia !

     b) My cousin who is the Head Abbess of a major temple rides around in a chauffeured driven golden Mercedes Benz S saloon the latest model ! Who says there is discrimination in our beloved Malaysia !

     Our pundit is absolutely correct. Malaysia has always had its full quota of fakes, snake skin oil salesmen, con men and women, charlatans, liars etc. due to the lack of enforcement and respect for ethics, standards, propriety etc. And a new phenomenon – Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes which illustrate the latest in the economics of deficit financing for development (self) ! History is the finest arbiter of the Truth. !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

208. Tun

     Malaysian mornings are the best in the World.

     I grew to love Malaysian mornings during the old days of the trunk roads which were ideal for those who loved driving – not many cars, fine and winding roads. And the joy of overtaking slower cars as we sped along. The only danger was the occasional cockerel or goat who might cross the road whilst passing through a kampong. Who cared ?

     Those were the halcyon days of long ago – the days of our youth.

     And dusk was another great event. The smell of the acrid smoke wafted from fires lit by the villagers as they cleaned up for the day !

     These were my pleasant memories of a great and historic land which the urbanites today are not aware of. The tail-gate lines of cars these days along the highways is a clear indication of this. Life moves on.

     Past memories. Childhood memories were pleasant for me. My mother used to feed me with a big table spoon of Castor Oil or Milk of Magnesia every Sunday morning which I took without complaint. This was followed by a lunch of a bowl of plain rice porridge in her belief that I would be detoxed and be a brand new son every Sunday. A mother’s love is expressed in many ways.

     This was the old colonial days of Brand’s Chicken of Essence, Sanatogen, Brylcreem, Yardley Brillantine etc.

     My mother used to drink a cupful of Sanatogen in her belief that this foul smelling stuff would protect her brain ! Such was the power of advertising even in the old days.

     Just before my final school examinations, I was gobbling up dozens of bottles of Brand’s Chicken Essence in the firm belief I would top the class. Later, when I was in London preparing to enter the university, I went to a Boots along Edgeware Road, London and asked for 1 dozen bottles of this wonderful elixir for my brain. The young girl across the counter told me.’ We have only one bottle. Besides, do not be silly. This Chicken Essence only contained coloured jelly and a pinch of salt.’ This misinformation cleared my brainwashed mind in a jiffy. From then on, I freed myself from the mental crutch of Brand’s Chicken of Essence forever.

     In Malaysia today, this is still a top seller courtesy of Cerebos the famed salt-maker of England.

     And on a Sunday, there are headlines galore in this once sleepy haven of a country thus :

     1. ” DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST CAN’T BE PROMOTED OVER DEAD BODIES. ”

     2. ” LIEW NOT AWARE OF ROADSIDE ZOOS INSTRUCTS WILD LIFE DEPT TO INVESTIGATE. ”

     3. ” MALAYSIA MUST BE INDEPENDENT OF GREAT POWER ”

     4. ” EXEMPT ALL FIRST TIME HOUSE BUYERS FROM PAYING STAMP DUTY.”

     Head lines 1 and 3 were the remarks made by our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on the ways of the Super Powers at play in the World today.

     We are fortunate to have the New and Incorruptible Government in place with the right loyalty, honesty and compassion which will not SELL OUR COUNTRY AND THE RAKYAT BEHIND OUR BACKS LIKE THE PETER PAN AND MAGPIE SYNDROMES TYPES and their equally corrupt elites.

     It is important for all Malaysians. the young and the old to know our unique history because history is the finest arbiter of the TRUTH. !MDB is already history.

     In the Middle East, there was peace and harmony under their own rulers for centuries, living in well built historic homes. Overnight, in the name of ARAB SPRING, their Rulers were assassinated, innocent men, women and children together with their century old homes were killed and destroyed in the name of DEMOCRACY.

     What does this tell us ? THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA MUST BE GOVERNED NORMALLY BY NORMAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO HIDDEN AGENDAS AND WITH THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND.

     NO MORE SNEAKY ISRAELI IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S BOUDOIR FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA !

     As I see it, this is the last chance for our beloved Malaysia to make the grade NORMALLY WITH ALL THE HUMAN AND NATURAL RESOURCES AVAAILABLE IN THE MOST IMPORTANT STRATEGIC LOCATION IN THE WORLD.

     I HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT THIS NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT CAN DO SO. HOPEFULLY, IT WILL METAMORPH INTO A 61 YEAR GOOD GOVERNANCE ! By-By MCA !

     Our beloved Malaysia was already tied up via the signed Lee Kuan Yew creation TPPA/CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer to be enslaved and raped. The non-Malays will suffer even more due to the precepts of the Constitution. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Singapore is in big trouble now without its nirvana the TARIFF FREE MALAYSIA FOR THE PICKING AND NO NEW REVENUES IN SIGHT AFTER HER BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES IN ARMS TRADING ETC. WERE LOST TO THE BRICS.

     Since the failed Singaporean attempts to make Malaysia a slave Colony by working on the Prime Minister which she nearly succeeded with the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leaderships and its equally corrupt elites, and another Power moved in as well, our beloved Malaysia will always be subjected to overtures with the ulterior motive all the time BECAUSE OF OUR IMPORTANT STRATEGIC LOCATION, OUR DIVERSE POPULATION AND LITTLE INSTIGATORS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD ! Beware !

     Women, money, Perth ? Anything you want, the Power will give you ! THIS WILL BE THE END OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA OVERNIGHT ! We must not forget the hard-work and dedication of the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn, and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !

     IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS TURNED INTO A WAR-ZONE BY TREASONOUS TYPES, WHERE ARE WE THE REFUGEES RUN TO ? EUROPE ?

     So, please think hard and well, Ladies and Gentlemen, WE MALAYSIANS NOW HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BUILD A NATION LIKE VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA, GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN ! And the only WAY is to progress upwards with hard-work and unity.

     Do not be misled by filthy yellow worms without spine or bees like HBT456 who is actually a failed specimen in LIFE !

     2. ” LIEW NOT AWARE OF ROADSIDE ZOOS……….. ”

     In the interests of Humanity, all zoos should be closed down. It is inhuman to cage animals and in most cases are badly managed or fed.

     Many years ago, my factory staff caught a giant python which we presented to the Taiping Zoo. After a few weeks, it was missing. I presumed it was sold. I have never desired to shoot animals in the wild even though I had 7 guns at one time. The wanton destruction of wild life today will come to haunt us sometime in the future. Live and let live !

     4. ” EXEMPT ALL FIRST TIME HOUSE BUYERS FROM PAYING STAMP DUTY ”

     We cannot deal with the problem of offering affordable homes by drib and drab answers.

     TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOME FOR ALL, ALL FACTORS CONCERNING THE COST OF SUCH A HOUSE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. What are the factors ? And these factors are well-known to the cognoscenti !

     1. THE COST TO THE DEVELOPER ON GETTING AN APPROVAL

     2. THE COST OF REMOVING RED BUREAUCRATIC TAPE.

     3. BANK FINANCING IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE IT IS BASED ON NORMAL ASSUMPTIONS AND NOTHING SPECIAL FOR THE FIRST TIME BUYER.

     For example, a RM 500,000 house buyer with a 30 year mortgage at 4.5% per annum pays a monthly interest of RM 3,000 and a capital repayment of RM 600 !! I VIEW THIS A UNFETTERED PROFITEERING BY THE BANKS IN FULL VIEW OF BANK NEGARA MALAYSIA !!

     4. THE DEVELOPER SHOULD BEAR ALL THE COSTS, STAMP DUTY AND ALL OTHER CHARGES.

     5. A SPECIAL MONITORING UNIT TO SEE ALL PARTICIPANTS TOE THE LINE

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem I see the next Government as DSAI with Tun and the Team by his side. Acheh !

209. Tun

     This is one morning that I usually overslept because there is no necessity to ferry my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK. And as a result, I am unaware whether my feather friend the singing bulbul was back at his nest in the young banyan tree or not. Never mind. Life goes on.

     And I woke up this morning thinking about South America and the wealth which the countries had before World War 2 in comparison with our beloved Malaysia of today.

     When Malaya was under British Colonialism, the South American countries had their freedoms but was entirely under American Imperialism to the advantage of America. The whole satrap was still wrapped in its Empire mind-set of Rulers and serfs.

     All the splendid European style architecture were built at the turn of the 20th Century when the demand from the warring nations of Europe for natural commodities held sway. A time when Malaya was in the economic doldrums or infancy before the jungles were cleared to make way for plantations on an organised scale.

     The natural resources of South America boosted the wealth of the larger countries like Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Peru and Chile that by the beginning of World War 2, Argentina was the 7th richest country in the World with its exports of wheat, cattle and other commodities. She accumulated 55 tons of gold before Peron.

     Brazil gained first with its natural rubber culled from patches of jungle which created a jungle town with an opera house deep in the jungle along the Amazon river.

     The flush of wealth pushed certain South American countries to its highest peak of human endeavour. But due to the immature political and good governance process at the material time, we see the consequences of human greed and weakness of the flesh today in all the cities of South America.

     DOES OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA REMIND US OF THIS ?

     An opportunity missed through institutionalised corruption and nepotism. The dominance of the rich over the poor. The urban over the rural.

     In 1962, I met the son of THE Venezuelan Ambassador in London. I could discern that he was rich by the way he was dressed – camel hair overcoat, Saville Row suit, etc. And now, we witness throngs of starving Venezuelans daily on our TV screens in a country which has huge petroleum deposits.

     In the early 1980s, an American researcher from Southern California was doing a study on Malaysia’s success with FELDA and other plantation enterprises. He asked me for the answers. I replied that first, a country must have ample and cheap land, second, an organised and disciplined work-force and third, good governance which meant the Government must fully back such an enterprise to succeed.

     In the 1980s, none of the South American countries were in the position to do any State-backed developments in the interests of the peoples. To-day the scenario is even worse.

     Throughout the 20th Century South America was a captive market for American goods but very few items were exported. Central American countries produced bananas or Cuba sugar for exports.

     In stark contrast, Japan and Switzerland still hold the key to the success of their concomitant urban and rural developments even though this has been a difficult task to sustain and maintain and at great cost. But this is absolutely essential for political stability and harmony which lead to the total wherewithal of a Nation.

     Our beloved Malaysia was built up and nurtured through the LIFE-LONG AND HONEST DEDICATION OF ITS LEADERS FROM 1957 – 2003, the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and all their loyal and hard-working adherents of which many were never recognised.

     All these Malaysians were the heroes or heroines like their Leaders.

     The general environment was so stable, peaceful and harmonious that the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leaderships and their equally corrupt elites which came after them, were able to administer a country without any Policy but free-wheeling. They thought all the resources human and monetary were built up by their predecessors for their enjoyment. EXACTLY LIKE ONE OF MY ELDER BROTHERS TOLD ME, ‘ MY FATHER LEFT ME THE MONEY FOR ME TO ENJOY !’ I choked in silence !

     Look at the huge opportunities the South American countries had in the first 50 years of the 20th Century. Unfortunately, these were born under the wrong stars – stark Imperialist exploitation dominated unlike the more free and liberal minded Western World of post-World War 2.

     And if we all understand the World’s history even in its most simplistic terms, WE WILL ALL UNDERSTAND THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA IS NOW IN THE ‘LAST CHANCE SALOON’ OF OPPORTUNITY !

     As I said before, with our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Government with DSAI and the Team by his side, Malaysia should ONCE AND FOR ALL BREAK FREE FROM THE CHAINS OF WANTON CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM and trek rapidly upwards towards the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan through focus on

     (i) the Economy, (ii) Reformation of the right Laws like the Companies Act 1965, the Bankruptcy Act 1967 and the Trustees Act 1949 which have never been really and properly revised before because of the lazy and self-serving BN Ministers of Law – the three of them.(iii) Security – as the events of the World impinge more and more on Malaysia due to many factors like its important strategic location in the World etc. (iv) the Rakyat’s Welfare being jobs, cost of living, housing, education, the aged, single mothers, neglected children, drug addicts etc. (v) the Success of Tun Dr Mahathir’s success in the creation of the Malay income group comes the more apparent division between the urban and the rural which should ALWAYS BE SUBSIDISED BY THE GOVERNMENT because their products cannot be enhanced in value and always be affected by the vicissitudes of the climate.

     GO FOR THE BROAD STROKES OF SUCCESS TO MAKE THE BIG PICTURE. Not hot air on mosquito projects like nursery in Dewan Rakyat, Kim Eng as Vice-Chancellor etc. If totted up, all these will KILL the New and Incorruptible Government.

     THE TRILLIONS OF MONEY WHICH HAD BEEN SIPHONED OVERSEAS THROUGH CORRUPTION SHOCKED ME.

     The crazy antics of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites need no further elaboration !

     WITH THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT OF THE OLD AND THE YOUNG, THE GOOD AND THE GREAT WHICH I EXPECT TO BE IN COMMAND FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS, by-by MCA, you all had the good times, our beloved Malaysia has the ingredients to push forwards and upwards and CREATE FOR OURSELVED A DECENT, RESPECTABLE AND A NORMAL NATION free from those with Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes. My grand-daughter wants to be a PSYCHOLOGIST who will find her work cut out for her now but may be not in future !

     The last piece in the jig-saw puzzle in Nation building is to invite the Japanese SME enterprises to set up shop in specially allotted areas like FTZ not only on the Peninsula but also Sabah and Sarawak with special logistics to and fro Japan as part of JAPAN’S MANUFACTURING CHAIN TO FAST DEVELOP MALAYSIA AND PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT TO THE RAKYAT. In the 1980s, we have the FTZ. In the 21st Century, Malaysia has special ZONES for SMEs from all countries especially Japan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. No South American scenarios for us. We are Malaysians !

210. Tun

     Times are great.

     How can anyone escapes the exciting and titillating headlines which appear in all earnestness in the daily media. Our beloved Malaysia is now one of the most exciting nations in the World apart from Brexit land and is untouched by War but Peace and Harmony. The headlines as follows :-

     1. ” DR M STILL THE BEST MAN TO CLEAN-UP MALAYSIA ”

     2. ” DR M SHOULD STAY FULL TERM ”

     3. ” RM 500 MILLION LAND LOSS IN MINDEF LAND SWAPS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

     4. ” CUEPECS SAYS 1.7 MILLION CIVIL SERVANTS NOT THAT MANY ”

     5. ” PAKATAN FALLING APART, FUELLING SINGAPORE-MALAYSIA SPAT ” BILA KAUSIKAN

     6. ” INDIA THREATENS A NEW WEAPON AGAINST PAKISTAN, WATER.” Courtesy Bilahari Kausikan.

     On Headline 1 & 2,

     I have always said that the present New and Incorruptible Government is led by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     As agreed and in time, DSAI with Tun and the Team by his side will form the next Government.

     This is the New Malaysia with a New Format to ensure that there will be no more hanky-panky by Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes types to ruin the country anymore. Besides, humanity in the right places live well beyond 90 years old at present and the future.

     My sister just died at 100. She could drive a car up to 92 ! An elder brother is ailing at 96 after gone through 4 Singaporean companionships since he was 70 ! 3 other sisters died at 94, 95 and 96 !

     Any more suggestions to the contrary is fiction and not REALPOLITIK.

     On Headlines 3 & 4 These are self-explanatory. There should be more revelations to come to titillate us.

     On Headline 5 .

     I always take off my hat to Bilahari Kausikan for the quality of his brain and the forthright manner in which he expressed his views on paper. He missed the mark a couple of times. His remark, ‘ DAP IS IRRELEVANT ‘ hit a couple of aged nerves in ye olde KL. At the time, I thought it was about Singapore’s defence. But now BK is absolutely right – THE DAP FORMS AN IMPORTANT AND INTEGRAL PART OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT WHICH WILL LAST FOR THE NEXT 61 YEARS LIKE THE RETIRED MCA IN THE OLD DAYS ! Acheh !

     But BK’s tussle with Mahbubani was a bit of a show for all to see. Singapore does not matter if either gentleman is correct. The 21st Century e-biz World moves on and the players as well.

     On Headline 6 – ” INDIA THREATENS A NEW WEAPON AGAINST PAKISTAN – WATER.

     My recent comment on the Amendment of the Malaysian Constitution is purely coincidental. There was no mention of using Water as a weapon against anyone least of all Singapore.

     The Amendment is within International Jurisprudence with Malaysia safe-guarding its precious natural resources for the future generations to come. Countries from Egypt, Iraq, etc are all doing it – the conservation of precious water for domestic requirements for now and the future.

     Hence, the proposed UNANIMOUS AMENDMENT TO THE CONSITUTION thus, RAW OR UNTREATED WATER IS FORBIDDEN TO BE EXPORTED, SOLD OR TRANSPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE.’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Interesting times are with us always nowadays compared with our sleepy past years ago ! And it is all to do with something called MONEY ! MONEY ! MONEY !

211. Tun

     IS AN ISRAELI IN THE PM’S BOUDOIR WORTH RM 15 MILLION OF THE RAKYAT’S HARD-EARNED MONEY ?

     Or the hand-picked Malaysia’s most beautiful Secret Services Chief 004 with the penchant of Gucci specs, a golden Walther PPK and sticky fingers worth another RM 50 Million of the Rakyat’s hard-earned money ?

     As I said many years ago, Bangkok was the hunting ground for Cold War (1948-1989) spies and Singapore was their headquarters. Now Malaysia is the host to both, the headquarters and the spies.

212. Tun

     Surprise for me this morning. My resident bulbul in the young banyan tree began to chirp and sing in full song at 7 a.m. sharp this morning better than a Swiss made cuckoo clock. This made my day because as I entered my house past the young banyan tree last night, I was bit crest-fallen with the thought that my feather friend had gone for good. No ! He has not after AWOL for two days.

     The World is full of surprises which titillate us no end as to the revelation of hidden insights which we would never have known could have happened. Like the latest expose’ of the ISRAELI IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S BOUDIOR EVEM AHEAD OF CHINA ! And that Peter Pan and Magpie Syndrome fellow rushed out to defend something which he was not even aware of. Future Prime Ministers of our beloved Malaysia must qualify for the job – to be able to differentiate a cat from a tiger or an Israeli from an Eskimo. But first, these prospective fellows must know their A, B, C, ending up with a short summary of the Rape of the Sabine Women in ancient Rome !

     The up-side down or the crazy World for our beloved Malaysia between 2004 – 2018 was really out-of-this-World. Anything could happened in such high places. From the 4th Floor Boys in short pants past the Avenues chocked full of famished hard-core PAP cadres looking for the low-hanging fruits onto the ATM for crooks, SIME DARBY ending with the cushy Chief Editor’s job in UMNO’s very own NSTP for a sworn PAP hard core cadre. And not forgetting that Lee Kuan Yew’s sister-in-law could CASH IN HER PLAIN PIECE OF PAPER FOR BILLIONS OF RINGGITS VIA MAYBANK with no sweat at all. From the sublime to the ridiculous ! Where else but our beloved Malaysia ? And the frivolous and farcical antics of the Singaporean Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leaderships and its equally corrupt elites go on and on.

     IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT THAT ALL THE DIRT IN THE AUGEAN STABLES ARE IDENTIFIED AND CLEANED OUT OR ELSE THE BLAME MAY REST WITH THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT. History is the finest arbiter of the Truth.

     And with our invincible defence weapons in hand. our beloved Malaysia will now REALLY GO PLACES.

     The 3 invincible weapons of Malaysia are thus :-

     1 MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES. This is illustrated by great advances by Malaysia after 13 May 1969 and 9 May 2018

     2. ANOTHER BEST DEFENCE WITHIN INTERNATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE IS THE UNANIMOUS AMENDMENT AT ANY TIME OF THE CONSTITUTION, THUS – ‘ NO UNTREATED OR RAW WATER MAY BE SOLD, EXPORTED OR TRANSPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE.’ No need to buy Russian super-duper jets any more to counter Singapore’s Lend-Lease F-16s or F-35s !

     3. THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT OF OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE.

     I seek the understanding and co-operation of the partners in the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the TEAM by his side to UNITE TO WORK FOR OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST in order we all form a bulwark for our beloved Malaysia’s new-found status as ONE OF THE FORU MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND, MALAYSIA.

     Malaysia is fast trekking upwards to the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. And Malaysia being the important strategic NEXUS with a land mass and inhabitants in the WHOLE WORLD. Please go and check, Ladies and Gentlemen !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem, We are Malaysians !

213. Tun

     Sorry. I wish to add one word to a sentence in my previous Comment.’…..Finally, our beloved Malaysia was set up to be raped by all including Israel.’ Thus, ……’ Finally, our beloved Malaysia was set up to be raped by all including Israel. OUCH ! ‘. This inadvertent error is mine and mine alone, Tun !

214. Tun

     Why our top leaders between 2004-2018 do not know the difference between a cat and a dog ? Or an Israeli from an Eskimo ?

     Suddenly, the media World has discovered that some legal eagle was money-laundering RM 15 Million for a person called Stadlen.

     This Stadlen fellow looks the most Israeli-like to me.

     I could identify an Israeli 1 Km away because I met them when I was only 8 years old up in the High Himalayas and later lived and played amongst them as a student for 9 years. I beat them. They beat me. Not all of them are smart like the Chinese. There are black, brown, blonde and yellow ones with blue, brown or black eyes. These are the real survivors of the Diaspora.

     And yet, this Israeli Stadlen which name alone tells all with a face which underlined all that he is an Israeli.

     Not only that, the Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes fellow who employed him does not know that the Israelis controls and owns the media and advertising agencies of the World.

     He was employed as the head of the biggest and most sensitive media outfit operated by this naïve fellow. Singapore recommended him via all those hot and private retreats ?

     Of course, he is British. So is my Hong Kong cook in Chinatown, London.

     It is a wonder now how such sub-standard persons could reach to such high places in the land to ruke over us the Rakyat !. Little are they aware that good foreigners stay at home. Bad hats come roaming with a huge knife behind their backs – from Christopher Columbus to Stadlen !

     And why is this Israeli of indeterminate origin worth RM 15 Million ?

     What is the basis for giving good Malaysian ringgits without a guarantee of any success of doing things in the National Interest ? An Israeli who was parachuted or recommended by some one with a BIG ULTERIOR MOTIVE ?

     The more the antics of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally corrupt elites are exposed, the more this saga seemed to have come from Oxford’s Lewis Carroll’s. ‘ Alice in Wonderland ‘ !

     Imagine an Israeli employed at great expense to handle the most important department of information under the aegis of the Prime Minister of the land.

     The Ministry of Information in Singapore is big beyond the size of its tiny homeland and engages in all the sensitive information in its National Interest like catching VIPs with their pants down, spies galore etc. Are we up to that standard ?

     No doubt also this fellow is from MOSSAD to keep tabs on Malaysia contacts with the Middle East or weaken the Malays traditional hierarchy and unity in a strategic and important land – ONE OF 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. Right inside the boudoir of a Prime Minister and ahead of all even China !

     How can top leaders sleep through such important scenarios of a Life-time with deference to the weakness of the flesh and weak under-belly !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Even Israelis could diddle the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leaderships 2004-2018 and its equally corrupt elites ! Finally, our beloved Malaysia was set to be raped by all including Israel !

215. Tun

     As the days march on, the days seem to be brighter and brighter for the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great under your steady Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side.

     As time goes on too, detractors, enemies, bad hats etc all took pot shots at the New and Incorruptible Government with ideas which are as old as the hills.

     But happy days and good days for the Rakyat are just a whisper away as long as the New and Incorruptible Governmnet keep firm on SECURITY, THE RULE OF LAW, FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY AND BRING DOWN THE PRICE OF RICE, AND BE A REFEREE TO ALL THINGS WHICH MOVE UNDER THE MALAYSIAN SUN. We had our own version of the beautiful MOON just two nights ago.

     For those bird-lovers, my pair of bulbuls did not return to their nest in the young banyan tree.

     This brought my mind to focus on climbing the more than 30 corrupt DBKL bumps ( for each bump, the DBKL official pockets RM 1,000 and RM 100 for each strip ) and countless numbers of bumpy strips within a radius of 5 km as I wobbled along.

     It is time for any REAL DATO BANDAR TO STOP THIS CORRUPT BUMPY NONSENSE ONCE AND FOR ALL. Or elae, our beloved Malaysia will be known as THE BUMPY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD – another first in the Guinness Book of Records.

     And I am not including the countless numbers of deep pot-holes which ruined the shock-absorbers of my wonderful car, Toyota Rush after 50,000 km ! After 90,000 km, all the engine mountings were gone as well. All the motorcar mechanics in town should thank the Dato Bandars of Kuala Lumpur for this business.

     Some like the spineless worm want to project themselves as great. How can they if they hide themselves behind FAKES NAMES ? Sprouting out brave words like defending the giant with feet of clay, Lee Kuan Yew ?

     With the exception of this fake worm, generally most commentators are sensible and logical. I will debate with anyone on LOGIC. Here is the most illogical event I have ever seen in my life. THE PURPORTED MILITARIZATION OF THE TINY ISLE OF SINGAPORE AGAINST FAKE MALAY THREATS.

     The Defence of Singapore with 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 is based on the THREATENING MALAYS FROM ACROSS THE SEAS. Therefore, Singapore military now has :-

     300,000 reservist and 3 regiments of Gurkha soldiers dressed as policemen with Israeli advisors, mercenary pilots, F-16s, F-35s Apaches, AWACS, Hercules, balloons, drones, 2 old and 4 new bespoke midget submarines custom-made for Singapore, corvettes, rusting tanks, long range artillery, underground dumps and command centres, armoured skyscrapers, spies galore – swallows, ducks, tycoons, treasonous Malaysian civil servants, academicians, journalists, bankers,etc with constant alerts. All these to defend only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50.

     If we match the Singapore Budget 2019 with the MILITARY AND ITS SOCIAL COMMITMENTS, this explains why the Budget is no Budget at all – a non-starter which did not give room for the Singapore Government to squeeze out of its present incarcerated position.

     This confirms a pundit’s observation that the Government has to lean on its RESERVES. Reserves which probably are the left-overs from the huge Black counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     IS THE SHOW OVER FOR SINGAPORE SUSTAINABILITY AND SURVIVAL ?

     If the Singapore Leadership could not produce white rabbits from the proverbial hat, it’s socio-economic trajectory which is land based, can only go down and down due to many external factors beyond its control. And no one can see when is the end of the tunnel.

     And curious fellow Malaysians may ask, WHAT IS MALAYSIA’S DEFEMCE ?

     As we are a friendly, hospitable and gregarious bunch of fellows who do not think of harming others but only helping, OUR DEFENCE IS SIMPLE AND YET POWERFUL ! As fpllows :-

     1. MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES. This invincible weapon has never failed our beloved Malaysia so far !

     2. AT ANY TIME, THE DEWAN RAKYAT CAN VOTE UNANIMOUSLY TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION THUS, ‘ NO RAW OR UNTREATED WATER MAY BE EXPORTED, TRANSPORTED OR SOLD OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE. ‘

     3. THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT OF OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE.

     These are the best and finest weapons which our beloved Malaysia already has without spending a sen on Russian super-duper jets.

     And these weapons are just IDEAS which come from our Malaysian brains.

     If all the negative ideas which now reside in Malaysian minds are translated into positive ideas to bolster Malaysia as one of the 4 most important countries of the World instead of wasting them by energy wasting legal Suits, Malaysia will stand proud and strong with a NEW MIND-SET TO THE DELIGHT OF TUN !

     It is as simple as this.

     A NEW MIND-SET THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE TO GAIN BY WORKING TOGETHER TO TURN THE WHEEL.

     No more fellows with Peter Pan or Magpie Syndromes. I reckon we can all take off within 3 years given our HUMAN RESOURCES, NATURAL RESOURCES AND THE STRATEGIC LAND MASS – if we work WITH ALL AND SUNDRY FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT. The World changes so fast these days which has left the Singaporean minds in shambles by missing out the wood from the trees.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. As I tell my grand-daughter, problems are Human-kind made, it is up to Human-kind to undo problems. And TIME AND PATIENCE WILL RESOLVE ALL PROBLEMS.

216. Tun

     I was hoping to report the return of the pair of bulbuls this morning. But alas, there was no chirping or singing from the young banyan tree. Hopefully, my feather friends have not gone forever.

     An interesting topic which I like to raise is the question of fake degrees purchased by certain personalities when they were young and ignorant. Now, they live to regret it and under circumstances which might lead to their undoing in whatever careers they have chosen.

     For many years now, I have commented that in the World of the Net and the present attitude of places of learning like the universities, the conditions and environment in which you and I were brought up have changed entirely.

     In those days of yore, we found it very difficult to gain a place at a university to study. Universities were small, few and far between. The places were limited. We had to study very hard to go places.

     Unlike today, all students of all ages are welcomed to study at a place of learning. In our time, it was easy to be thrown out of a university if we did not make the mark. Hence, we found many students studied Law overseas.

     Gathering all my Life-time experience together, I have commented that nowadays, universities are places for social activity if a student is not going to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, architect or other professions which require a university degree. Costs of an overseas education are high. But the overseas and local universities available at home take up the slack.

     However, I always emphasised that there is no necessity to enter a university these days given the opportunities available in the World of the Net and e-business. A motivated and young person can do a good Form 6 in the requisite computer and science subjects and then launch himself or herself into the e-biz World which takes time to find a worthwhile niche to profitability. Instead of spending time and much money joining a university, a person pursuing this career course will be in action straightaway without the hassle of wasting time and money.

     Extrapolating my comments onto those who hold high public positions without university degrees, the end effect of all these activities is the result of a successful personality dealing with matters of the State NORMALLY.

     In other words, a person does not need to have a university degree to do many things. There are many public examples in this World who have achieved the highest rewards without a university education or none at all.

     Just look at the mental shambles in Singapore with all those over-educated elites who could not think out of the box. Their only knowledge is to play safe and follow the quotations of Lee Kuan Yew of the 20th Century.

     What about the 21st Century in which these elites are living today ?

     In 2014, 2 Singaporean Ministers announced that in future, applicants for jobs, promotions etc will be considered not only on their academic merits but also on their other talents. With all due respect, this underlined the failure of meritocracy based on a university education, Ivy League or Oxbridge on a piece of paper.

     What am I trying to say Tun ?

     Exactly what Deng Xiao Ping said, ‘ It does not matter whether a cat is black or white as long as it catches mice.’

     I have noticed many times that some of my friends with university degrees could not forget their university days like Lee Kuan Yew. All of them failed to be successful in LIFE !

     Good professions for those WITHOUT A UNIVERSITY DEGREE IN MALAYSIA are POLITICS, NGOs and the TAX FREE RM 2 INCORPORATED PLACES OF WORSHIP. To be honest ( favourite phrase of English TV commentators ), I have not observed a FAILURE IN MONEY TERMS IN THESE 3 PROFESSIONS YET !

     But for those who prefer to stay out of these professions, then the e-biz World is your oyster !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if a person has NO UNIVERSITY DEGREE, it is what makes you an honourable man or woman that counts !

217. Tun

     I was expecting the pair of bulbuls to sing their songs at 7 a.m. sharp this morning. There was only silence from the young banyan tree. However, the plaintive and haunting calls of the urbanised golden oriole replaced the void. Hopefully, the pair has not flown away for good. I keep my fingers crossed with great expectations. This is a little part of my Life which I love not to miss.

     I have to climb over 15 corrupt DBKL bumps along the roads to reach my destination in a Mall which brought my temperature up. But my emotions were cooled down by a Bangladeshi jaga who opened my car’s door and helped to pay the parking ticket for me. This made my day compounded by the sight of a fellow Christ’s ( Christ’s College, Cambridge ) man on the front page of a media. What more do I want in our beloved Malaysia ?

     From the sublime to the ridiculous as it is said, Tun ! Here are the headlines for the day, thus :-

     1 ‘ PARLIAMENT TO SET UP CHILDREN CENTRE ‘- This is the zaniest idea of all the nitty-gritty which the new Ministers of the New and Incorruptible Government have produced out of the proverbial hat so far.

     Little things were more important than the BIG PICTURE to serve the Rakyat with BROAD STROKES ! From black shoes to little absurd nurseries in the most August council in the Land, the Dewan Rakyat.

     When this absurd news item first appeared in the media, I applauded it with the thought that the Federal Government was setting up children care centres all over the country. But on reading the fine print, I was taken aback by the mosquito thinking behind this absurd non-starter.

     WHY SHOULD THE FEDERAL MINISTER CARE ABOUT THE KIDS OF ROAMING REPORTERS AND THEIR BABES ? WHY IS SHE SO SURE THEY HAVE BABES ? MEN OR WOMEN ?

     This is an utter waste of money and time of the Rakyat who voted the YBs into their jobs.

     All members of the Federal Government without prompting should be aware that they look after the BIG PICTURE ( FEDERAL ).

     In this case in the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development – the aged, single mothers, orphans and drug addicts. No more. No less.

     A nursery or a crèche in the Houses of Parliament ? EVEN THE QUEEN WILL FALL OFF HER THRONE ON THIS ONE !

     And as if our beloved Malaysia has not enough of WORLD’S FIRST SCANDAL FROM PETER PAN AND MAGPIE SYNDROMES TOP LEADERS NOW DOWN TO HAVING NURSERIES IN THE HIGHEST AND MOST AUGUST COUNCIL IN THE LAND ! Have we all gone CUCKOO ? It is the BIG PICTURE NOT THE BIG PACIFIER YB ! I choked when I realised what it was all about !

     2. ‘ QUEEN OF SQUASH RETIRES ‘. Congratulations to someone who put our beloved Malaysia on the map on her own ability.

     IF THE GERIATRIC OLYMPIC COUNCIL OF MALAYSIA WHICH ONCE HAD OUR GREATEST STATESMAN TUN ABDUL RAZAK AS ITS PRESIDENT HAD NOT BEEN LAZY AND INEFFICIENT, OUR GOOD DATO SERI NICOL WOULD HAVE WON AT LEAST 4 OLYMPIC GOLDS FOR MALAYSIA.

     Even roughneck fellows competing in moguls and extreme snow sports were recognised as Olympic sports and yet SQUASH which pre-dated these recent fangle sports by at least 100 years is not recognised. Something is wrong somewhere with SELF-SERVING LIP SERVICE AT PLAY ! This Augean Stable should be cleaned out and let SADDIQ takes over.

     3. ‘ SINGAPORE LAUNCHES SUBMARINE IN GERMANY.’ This headline certainly catches my eye.

     Singapore is slowly becoming known as the country which makes the WRONG CALLS ALL THE TIME ! Why ?

     This order of 4 midget submarines for shallow waters was probably given when our Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes Leaderships assumed POWER in 2010.

     With the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites not in hand but in the pocket, Singapore with irrational exuberance ordered these midget submarines for shallow waters to OOUNTER THE MALAY THREAT OF LEE KUAN YEW’S CREATION !

     And the Lee Kuan Yew’s creation of the TPPA/CPTPP Malaysia/Malays Killer on course to be signed and ratified, how can Singapore miss anything in 2010 !

     Not only that shortly thereafter, the Singapore Business Times boasted THAT THE TPPA/CPTPP MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER WILL SAVE SINGAPORE AT LEAST ONE BILLION SINGAPORE DOLLARS A YEAR ! This meant our beloved Malaysia with the TPPA/CPTPP Malaysia/Malays Killer will LOSE at least RM 3 Billions a year !

     Or this money translated into German midget submarine terms – FOUR GERMAN MIDGET SUBMARINES FOR S$ 1 BILLION ON DEFERRED TERMS. In 2010, this was a bargain or dirt cheap to deter those THREATENING MALAYS ACROSS THE SEAS !

     But as always for our beloved Malaysia, MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES. These German midget submarines for shallow waters can now be used for tourists to admire the sea life and corals off Keppel Harbour, Singapore. Why ?

     IT WAS RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT MALAYSIA’S WORLD’S BEST DEFENCE IS BY AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION WITH A 2/3rd MAJORITY BY THESE WORDS. ‘ THAT NO RAW WATER BE EXPORTED, SOLD OR TRANSPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE’

     Just a few words on a paper can turn into Singapore’s Achilles Heel !

     By being intransigent on the belief that the Malaysians are stupid and cannot THINK, Singapore dragged this simple issue for so long that now our BELOVED MALAYSIA COMES UP WITH THE FINEST WEAPON FOR HER OWN SELF-DEFENCE IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST WITHIN INTERNATIONAL JURISPRUDENCE !

     I suggest that all those smart legal eagles of Singapore write a sequel to their boastful book on how they beat Malaysia on the Pulau Batu Puteh. Only pre-puberty schoolboys in short pants do not know it takes TWO TO TANGO ! Why ?

     It was because the Federal Government did not take this matter to The Hague for over 50 years. As soon as it was in 2004, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government rushed to The Hague with the oldest lawyer ( before my time ) from Cambridge and lost promptly. Is this TWO TO TANGO OR NOT ?

     Further, with a declining economy which is aged, Singapore’s 2019/20 Budget will increase taxes and expansionary. The latter underlines the contraction of the economy for the next 12 months. Expansionary means nothing in Singapore.

     THIS IS THE HARD SCENARIO OF A 7.5% GDP 20th Century Cold War 1948-1989 economy which has now gone forever WITHOUT THE BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES IN ARMS ETC which explains why Singapore’s GDP did not breach 3% GDP from 2002-2017 ! The Black Trades which provided the extra 2-3 % GDP, explains. Looking back, this Black Trade business was huge, very huge for Singapore !

     Singapore’s defence against the self-created Malay Threats is now bristling with the best armaments in the neighbourhood.

     Our beloved Malaysia’s defence is MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     With the recent DISCOVERY THAT BY AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION ‘ THAT NO RAW WATER MAY BE EXPORTED, SOLD OR TRANSPORTED OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OR BORDERS OF THE FEDERATION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE.’ and a loyal citizenry, we need not buy Russian super-duper jets to counter Singapore’s Lend-Lease F-35s ! Just a Pilot pen and a piece of paper will do costing only RM 3 under the New and Incorruptible Government.

     My observations have been highlighted and proven that with only one brilliant and courageous Leader Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who uses his brain all the time, MALAYSIA IS NOW ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD AND ON THE WAY UPWARDS TO THE GREATS OF VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as the MINISTERS OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE THINK IN BROAD STROKES OR TERMS FOR THE BIG PICTURE AND ARE NOT MOSQUITO-MINDED !

218. Tun

     You and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah must have found out long ago that it is a lot of fun to watch grand-children grow up. My concern has always for them having a sound education and acquire self-confidence by the natural process of their minds. For years when I ferried the grand-daughter to her favourite SMKs, I always reminded her with a few easy to remember phrases for her tests. And with satisfaction, as time passed by, she has grown in confidence and slowly learning the ability to think in a logical way. Not only that, she can interact with the big and the small of all communities NORMALLY.

     Looking at my grand-daughter and the antics of the adults of Singapore, I taught her how to think by using her brain to consider all options before deciding on a course of action. Most Malaysian students are very good at remembering but no one taught them how to think logically. Surprisingly, Lee Kuan Yew also lacked this in-born virtue considering all his 47 Failed Public Policies which were not all to the good.

     It is no shame that Malaysia can amend its Constitution to bar the export, sale and transportation of raw water because Singapore did not behave in a gentlemanly sort of way.

     I am certain this IDEA WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED GIVEN THE GOODWILL BETWEEN SOVEREIGN NATIONS.

     As it is, Singapore has won in all the little attempts which concerned some rocks, KTM, HSR, free water paid for by Malaysia etc. Yet her GDP is still mired in the doldrums for 16 years. One can only subscribe this deficit to the lack of brain-power in Singapore.

     For example, the elites forgot about the goodwill and credits of Lee Kuan Yew with the super-powers which are as yet unutilised. This will diminish without any doubt with the passage of time. They forgot for 25 years !

     But the elites find it fun to poke and complain about Malaysia which did nothing from all material aspects. It is crystal clear that Singapore’s Policies towards Malaysia were based on a wrong premise. What is it ? It is for their elites to find out before it is too late after such a long hiatus of 16 years !

     I was certainly surprised to find Singapore still stuck in its 20th Century time warp of no return bolstered by Lee Kuan Yew’s Bluffology or BS. With time, this game of smoke and broken mirrors could not be sustained.

     And horror of horrors, Singapore put all its eggs into Malaysian Leaderships with Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes. WHERE ARE THE PUKKA SINGAPORE DOCTORS ?

     Surprisingly, we Malaysians do not see a Plan B either. Someone must be sleeping in Singapore’s National Interest.

     With the failure of the Lee Kuan Yew’s creation, the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP, the ill-conceived Temasek which turned out to be full of the Gnomes of Zurich, the text-book FTs imports and the 2 casinos in a crowded neighbourhood, WHAT IS SINGAPORE’S PLAN B TO DEAL WITH MALAYSIA AND AT THE SAME TIME CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE INHERITORS OF LEE KUAN YEW ?

     By reiterating the terms and conditions of the 1962 Water Agreement over and over again, it seems Singapore lacks VISION, CREATIVITY. INNOVATION in this e-biz World.

     As I have said before, free water did not benefit Singapore. But the 1962 Water Agreement, loss of the Rocks and KTM etc DID NOT PREVENT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO BE ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, SWITZERLAND, JAPAN AND MALAYSIA !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. See the POWER OF YOUR BRAIN WHEN DEALING WITH OTHERS. You thought for years that they were with you on the 88th Floor. BUT ACTUALLY THEIR MINDS WERE IN THE BASEMENT ! Acheh !

219. Tun

     On Singapore’s Achilles Heel which they thought they never had which is the Amendment to the Constitution ‘ No raw water maybe exported, sold or transported outside the jurisdiction or borders of the Federation.’

     Malaysia now rides the high horse in the realms of jurisprudence.

     We mind our own Legal Business within our borders with our Amendment to the Constitution via a 2/3 majority. What can be better than this ? No need for Russian super-duper jets ! THIS WILL PUT AN EXPIRY DATE ON ALL SINGAPORE’S 99 YEAR LEASES AND WIPE OUT BILLIONS OF SINGAPORE DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY LEASE VALUES PRONTO !

     But as we all are aware, you are a tolerant and patient person who has been gently nudging Singapore to do something gentlemanly and not boast about HOW THEY MANAGE TO OBTAIN 3 SENS PER 1,000 GALLONS OF RAW WATER FOR 50 YEARS WITH A ONE-SIDED AGREEMENT AGAINST THE NATIONAL INTEREST OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. All normal adults should be able to work this one out.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Because we Malaysians are not stupid unlike those who think we are.

220. Tun

     A Monday morning is always a serious morning for all of us working people. Even my friends the pair of bulbul seemed to be out of sorts this early morning with a light drizzle. There were no chirping of singing as I left the house. Not to worry. They will be back to their normal-selves tomorrow.

     However, tomorrow will be another day. And soon, the Malaysians will go down to the Republic of Singapore to find out what Singapore has to offer to apply some balm to the wounds caused by the ridiculous 1962 3 sens per 1,000 gallons of raw water. OK.

     Singapore has been riding the high horse of a water-tight Agreement which was entirely one-sided since 1962. Remarks which were forthcoming from the tropical isle were not very pleasant for Malaysian ears. OK.

     HAS ANYONE IN MALAYSIA THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING INTO THE CONSTITUTION OF MALAYSIA THAT WITH A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY AMENDMENT. ‘IN FUTURE NO RAW MAYBE EXPORTED, SOLD OR TRANSPORTED OUT OF THE BORDERS OR JURISDICTION OF MALAYSIA WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 1962 AGREEMENTS WITH SINGAPORE ‘?

     Has anyone thought about this Achilles Heel of Singapore.

     This Amendment to the Constitution will CUT SHORT BY AT LEAST 50 YEARS OR HALF OF ALL THE LAND LEASES OF 99 YEARS IN SINGAPORE ! The loss is tremendous or horrific.

     THIS IS ONLY AN IDEA WHICH WILL NEVER BE IMPLEMENTED. But it can be implemented NOW. No problem.

     As a long time friend of Singapore from taxi-drivers to billionaires, I sincerely hope the present Singapore Government see that this is the 21st Century and not the 20th Century. We got to work together to exist.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Who think we are stupid ? We just amend the Constitution forbidding the export of raw or (treated) water outside the borders of Malaysia to cook a golden goose. It is as simple as this. But we are good people who do no harm. No problem, Tun.

221. Tun

     Another morning, another day of peace and harmony for our beloved Malaysia which unlike Singapore has only to worry about keeping a clean set of books for the Government and administer the Nation NORMALLY for the Rakyat.

     NORMAL means many things like a cheap price of rice, the availability of jobs for all especially the new graduates, good transportation with cheap fares and accessibility, affordable homes, wonderful schools with dedicated teachers for the children, a motorcar and a better life-style than our parents and care for our aged, single mothers, neglected children and addicts. These were all within reach up to 2003.

     Thereafter, 2004-2018, Leaderships with the Peter Pan and the Magpie Syndromes took. The whole beloved country was turned into a mess. This was bolstered by fake information and loans. No decent Leader of any country in the World go into hot relationships with the Leader of another country in private retreats. The word is NEVER !

     It is easy to govern our beloved Malaysia if a person knows how to do it like you Tun. But the moment the template of governance is changed to another format, the whole country comes to a boil in silence until suddenly there is a huge eruption. Fortunately, as I have observed the 2 incidents, 13 May 1969 and 9 May 2018, the consequences which followed turned out to be a sea change for the better.

     It is time also for all the Rakyat to pull together and unite for a better beloved Malaysia. The glue or lubricant for this is a normal and sound economy ! Not those fancy Sexy or Free Murderers Bills !

     Before 9 May 2018, Malaysia was already trussed up and ready to be delivered via the TPPA/CPTPP to Lee Kuan Yew’s little Singapore not as a sacrificial lamb but a whole Nation with 31 million honest and innocent souls, men, women and children – to this land of NOTHING but BLUFFOLOGY or BS ! How can any decent Malaysian, man or woman tolerates this ?

     With time, and time is of the essence, as long as we the Malaysians are united in peace harmony and prosperity, Singapore will just diminish in its own lack of brain-power adventures.

     Singapore has already lost BIG in terms of Leadership. Not only that, I reckon she has also lost a large part of her reserves from the profits of the Black Under-counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 after Lee Kuan Yew was flattered, seduced and entrapped by the wiles of the gnomes of Zurich !

     What is the loss of a few rocks, free water, KTM and the steel rails ( all contrived CORRUPTION ) to Singapore when one Malaysian Leader with brilliance and courage could put our beloved Malaysia onto the pedestal with a chance of progressing rapidly upwards to the likes of the Greats of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan ?

     And this Malaysian Leader is our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad !

     See the POWER of the BRAIN and the goodness or the evil which it may engender !

     Lee Kuan Yew implemented 47 Failed Policies which harmed Singapore’s own and aimed at our beloved Malaysia to CREATE UNHAPPINESS AMONGST US, HOSPITABLE AND FRIENDLY MALAYSIANS. At the end of the day, Man proposes. God disposes, the results of his negative Policies are recorded and for all to see and read ! Lee Kuan Yew was like Icarus who reached for the Sun and became a cropper.

     Just a few days ago, our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad paid a night visit to a shopping Mall. He is no stranger to find out on the ground the life and times of the Rakyat.

     In the 1980s, I bumped into him around the corner at about 8.30 p.m. with Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and one bodyguard at the Ampang Shopping Mall. And again likewise in the Sogo Shopping Mall in the 1990s. A caring and concerned Prime Minister.

     If I bumped into Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad twice for a person like me who seldom venture out at night, therefore, he must have been making many regular visits not only to the Malls but also to the stalls dotted around Kuala Lumpur to get a real feel of things.

     With a good Prime Minister like this, the members of his Government with DSAI and the Team by his side should work doubly hard to show the Rakyat the results as YBs doing a NORMAL JOB.

     It is often forgotten that in history there is no record of rich men but only of Rulers and Warriors. And history is the finest arbiter of the TRUTH.

     Our endeavours, the successes and the failures are all recorded and cannot be erased. But our money and material wealth will soon be gone with the wind as time goes by !

     Is it not surprising that the elites of Singapore forgot all about Lee Kuan Yew’s goodwill and credits with the super-powers of the World for 25 years ! it was unutilised for 25 years. Soon this will diminish in value with the passage of time ! And these fellows wasted time and money with their self-created obsession about doing down Malaysia. Yet Malaysia with just one indomitable Leader to show the way is now up and running to the stars and the Moon ! Man proposes. God disposes.

     Now that the do-gooders are in the saddle, it is time for all to put themselves to the wheel and create an eternal and unique Malaysia for ourselves and our descendants. THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE LEFT. NO JOKE !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if we do all things NORMALLY !

222. Tun

     Unlike the mornings when I ferried my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK and had the privilege of listening to the chirping and the singing of the pair of resident bulbuls nestled in the young banyan tree, this morning I woke up not without care but a horrifying thought which flashed across my mind.

     It was the performance of the New and Incorruptible Government and its equally incorruptible Ministers which struck a bell in my mind !

     Their pronouncements and their actions happened within less than 9 months.

     Have they over-reached or over-reacted in their eagerness to display their ability to do things or was it just absolute power corrupts absolutely ( Lord Acton – 1850 ) ? Whatever these were, the events certainly triggered off alarm bells in my mind that GREEDINESS IS NOT ONLY CONFINED TO MATERIAL THINGS LIKE MONEY BUT ALSO TO A WEAKNESS TO SHOW-OFF AN APPARENT CLEVERNESS OF ONE-SELF.

     To me, whether the person is a Minister or a YB, it is just a job to be performed in a NORMAL MANNER. There is no necessity to draw attention to one’s cleverness with whistles and bells.

     With the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership and its adherents, their corruption in Power and Materialism have been exposed. Will the New and Incorruptible Government be exposed on their greediness for Power and not Materialism ?

     I ask these pertinent questions because our beloved Malaysia was saved from CERTAIN SLAVERY AND LIVING DEATH FROM THE JAWS OF THE LEE KUAN YEW CREATION, TPPA/CPTPP, BY OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WHO HAS NOW PUT THE COUNTRY ON A PROPER PEDESTAL TO ADVANCE UPWARDS TO THE LIKES OF THE GREATS, VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA, GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN. It is because our beloved Malaysia will NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE TO TAKE HER PROPER PLACE UNDER THE SUN.

     I offer my constructive observations on events which should not be interpreted as loaded with evil intent. I am a Constitutional Conformist since 1954 with logic based on facts not fiction or emotions. Here are some of my constructive observations :-

     1. The black shoes, swimming pools, Vice-Chancellor, Maybank-Kim Eng Securities appointment. Lee Kuan Yew’s sister-in-law created Kim Eng Securities from a piece of paper which ballooned into billions of ringgits via Maybank, new curriculums, better perks without asking or due consideration etc. If all the bullets have been spent, the gun will be empty in times of need !

     2. SEX concerning a few urban folk is the priority by way of the SEXUAL HARASSMENT BILL. This has been going on even before Samson and Delilah !

     3. The ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY BILL to save the lives of a few murderers whilst there are thousands of the aged, single mothers, neglected and abused children, and young addicts who require better and better assistance so that the World will say that our beloved Malaysia looks after its OWN.

     This is frivolous CORRUPTION OF ANOTHER KIND like the NS CAMPS CAPER TO EXTRACT MONEY OUT OF GOVERNMENT COFFERS BY WAY OF CONSTRUCTION, TRANSPORT, UNIFORMS, CATERING ETC.

     Not only that our PDRM will not only be stretched but OUT_GUNNED like in Mexico. Armed gangs will roam the land creating another profitable industry like politics, NGOs, tax-free RM 2 incorporated places of worship !

     ON THE ONE HAND THE LIVES OF A FEW MURDERERS ARE SAVED. AND ON THE OTHER HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT VICTIMS ARE MURDERED IN THE STREETS. Where is the LOGIG ?

     Vital and Essential Laws to re-vitalise the country’s economy are NEGLECTED like the Companies Act 1965, the Bankruptcy Act 1967 and the Trustees Act 1949.

     Why were the Ministers of Law 2004-2918 so lazy, ignorant and neglected their duties and responsibilities to the Rakyat ?

     4. Many years ago,I was a Trustee of the National Art Gallery in charge of the expenses. 2 artists who are now dead, requested that the Gallery to sponsor them for a visit to a minor art exhibition in Fukuoka, Japan. I refused because the Gallery had no funds and the exhibition was not important. I soon LOST MY JOB.

     The same thing happened to me in Sime Darby. There was no bankruptcy for the 18 years when I was a Director. In 1992, the Sime Darby executives kicked me out who created their jobs, a rash of buying and selling took place. Thereafter. Sime Darby was bankrupted in 1996 at RM 1.2 Billion and 2010 at RM 2.10 Billion. The executives remained in place. No one was charged. No one was jailed.

     5. The sudden closure of 1 KM of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur.

     6. The Malaysian penchant for fake degrees and titles.

     HOWEVER MY TOP MARKS GO TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS IN THE INTERESTS OF SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL WHICH ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE, MINISTRY OF FINANCE FOR STRIVING TO KEEP A NORMAL SET OF BOOKS AND THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT FOR LOGICAL ACTION. Let us call a spade a spade in the normal administration of a country by any Government Leader without the Peter Pan and the Magpie Syndromes.

     For a politician, it is no excuse in this e-World to claim ignorance because his or her SELF-SERVING ACTIONS AND NON-MATERIALISTIC GREED ARE FOR ALL TO SEE.

     To be honest ( a favourite phrase of English TV commentators ), I SINCERELY HOPE THAT WITH THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE WILL SUCCEED. Otherwise, our beloved Malaysia will not get a second chance again. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as the POWERFUL BEHAVE NORMALLY.

223. Tun

     Again as the sun rises, my resident bulbul began to chirp and sing. By and by, I heard not one bird but two in the bush. Both were performing a duet of sorts in the cool of the morning. This morning was special. The distant horizon was splashed with various shades of gold to orange as the Sun assumed its ascendancy for the day. When I was a boy, my mother always told me that an orange sky liked this would foretell a fine day ahead. For a Life-time, I could confirm she was correct. With the peaceful accents of a normal Malaysian morning, one expects to be jolted by some explosive headlines on some dumb issues, thus :-

     1. ‘ THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT BILL WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE NEXT SITTING OF THE DEWAN RAKYAT.’

     2. ‘ THE DEATH PENALTY TO BE ABOLISHED ‘

     I have strong feelings that these two Bills are like putting the cart before the horse in a struggling emerging country like our beloved Malaysia. I am not against these Bills per se when these are presented many decades down the road. These Bills sound nice and correct in some Western salon of rich ladies and gentlemen trying to make amends for their inherited wealth like opposing the production of incomes arising from the sale of palm oil by poor emerging nations like Indonesia and Malaysia.

     Not only that, thanks to the leaders of the Singapore Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with Peter Pan and Magpie Syndromes, our beloved Malaysia’s progress was put back a generation or 25 years. We are lucky to suffer a reversal of our hard-earned fortunes only because the Lee Kuan Yew contrived TPPA/CPTPP would have enslaved all of us, the Rakyat forever and ever. This is the Life which is not carved out for those with Peter Pan or Magpie Syndromes.

     On the Sexual Harassment Bill, our beloved Malaysia must be the first emerging country to promulgate such an act.

     Has the Minister found out how many cases of sexual harassment Malaysia has per day ? Or how many rapes in India per day ?

     Comparatively, how many aged, single wives and poor and neglected children our beloved Malaysia has and does not care for ? These are the realpolitik of Malaysian Life from its very beginnings.

     First things first. Let us all, the New and Incorruptible Government and all alleviate the sufferings of the real people, the aged, the single mothers, poor and neglected children first. And this alone will take decades of charity even if we start now. Then, the World will say Malaysia looks after its OWN.

     But with the Sexual Harassment Bill, first even if it takes place right in front of the Ministers’ eyes, where is the enforcement ? Does she realises that our beloved Malaysia is a haven for crooks, white and blue collar for decades due to shortage of police staff and poor leadership for the enforcement of the Laws ?

     Sime Darby lost billions and billions of ringgits. Yet its executive officers continued on with their cosy jobs. No one was charged. No one went to jail.

     Honestly, does the Minister really think that a full report will be made of someone pinching someone’s bottom in present day Malaysia ?

     In case she does not know, there have been many such cases in Kuala Lumpur well before she was born, as far back as the 1950s. I cannot believe that a Sexual Harassment Bill will reduce sexy behaviour by both sexes. She even quoted that men are sexually harassed as well. This is no new news to me for thousands of years. Vide, Samson and Delilah. I got an ‘A’ for Scriptures !

     2 Abolish the Death Penalty. This is even a more absurd proposal than the Sexual Harassment Bill.

     Malaysia is a nexus for all sorts of illegal activities. Recently, we have been witness to the smuggling of the huge quantities of drugs. All these activities are partially due to the lack of enforcement and rife corruption in Malaysia.

     Malaysia is not yet a developed country whereby murderers wear suits and ties. Recently a poor little girl of 11 years old was murdered near Pekan. Yet with the death penalty, Malaysia has many murders per year

     with the PDRM fully stretched and its not FBI or New Scotland Yard. WITHOUT THE DEATH PENALTY MALAYSIA’S MURDERS WILL SKY ROCKET BECAUSE ALL THE DRUG SYNDICATES WOULL LOVE TO OPERATE IN MALAYSIA WHICH HAS WEAK ENFORCEMENT AND NO DEATH PENATLY BUT PLENTY OF GUNS ARE AVAILABLE.

     Can those who promote NO DEATH PENALTY GUARANTEE A SAFER MALAYSIA ?

     How ridiculous if would be after a huge epidemic of murders, these very same lawmakers want to bring back the DEATH PENALTY ?

     By which time, many innocent lives would have been lost.

     LET US ALL TALK ALWAYS AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION AND NOT LET OUR HEARTS RULE OUR HEADS.

     Without the Death Penalty, I reckon other cogs in the wheel will collapse as well eg. fear by foreign investors, rise of emergency cases in hospitals, fear amongst the Rakyat, gangs will openly operate throughout the whole country, more juvenile delinquency and addicts, etc.

     Please use your heads and not your hearts or go to the front line of a policeman in the Criminal Division or the Emergency Ward at night in a city hospital and see for yourself the REALITY OF LIFE AFFECTING THE WEAK BULLIED BY THE STRONG. Or visit the morgues too for the results of the ABOLISHMENT OF THE DEATH PENALTY. Seeing is believing.

     The airy-fairy approach by those in support of the Bills on Sexual Harassment and the Abolishment of the Death Penalty are a far cry from the real requirements of a financially battered economy like our present day beloved Malaysia. I have been saying for years that the 3 ESSENTIAL LAWS for our beloved Malaysia’s essential well-being should be revised and up-dated. The up-dating and revision of these antiquated Laws should be the first priority of the EAC !-

     1. THE TRUSTEES ACT 1949. This has never been updated or revised at all since 1949. Malaysian Trusts have been stolen out of jurisdiction without the authorities being aware. Besides, this Trustees Act governs certain service provided by bankers, share-brokers, lawyers, the burgeoning middle class group etc. Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia bring this Trustees Act right up to date – the 21st Century.

     2. The BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967. The Minister of Law of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government misled over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and another over 200,000 non-Malay bankrupts by attaching an amendment to the old which created 2 Bankruptcy Acts operating parallel or side by side to each other. Where else but Malaysia ?

     Vide. The Star. Letter to the Editor 25 June 2018. which claimed also that financial interests dared not influence such decisions in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australian unlike weak and corrupt Malaysia.

     Those bankrupts before October 2017 are locked in for life like in Victorian times of the 19th Century even Singapore, Britain, Hong Kong and Australia recognise that it is fair and just to give bankrupts a second chance. The amended Law begins after October 2017 which applies to new bankrupts only. EVEN THE REFORM MARRIAGE LAW OF 1982 RECOGNISED ALL MARRIAGES BEFORE 1982.

     IT IS TIME THE PRESENT AND FUTURE GOVERNMENTS OF MALAYSIA TAKE THE RULE OF THE LAWS SERIOUSLY INSTEAD OF APPOINTING HALF PAST SIX PERSONS TO BE MINISTERS OF LAW !

     The Essential Laws which I mentioned affect the whole Nation and the livelihoods of millions whereas the Sexual Harassment Bill is more suitable for HOLLYWOOD and the ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY BILL for Bollywood !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as the New and Incorruptible Government gets its priorities right on burnishing the old and essential Laws which affect the livelihoods of millions of Malaysians and put those other GLAMOROUS LAW BILLS IN THE BACK BURNER ! How many precious urban votes will the two glamorous Bills garner ? None is my answer !

224. Tun

     The best description of the Tale of Two Cities, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore maybe best illustrated by the following headlines thus :

     1. The Star, ‘ OBSTACLE COURSE. ‘

     2. The Financial Daily, ‘ SINGAPORE’S BALLOONING BUDGET ‘

     1. On Kuala Lumpur’s ‘ Obstacle Course ‘, this describes the mess of construction at the Bulatan Dato Onn facing the iconic Bank Negara Malaysia Headquarters. This Bulatan should have been removed decades ago and an under-pass constructed. But due to the ingenuity of the ever corrupt DBKL during the hey-day of the more corrupt Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, a ‘warrior’s trail’ was used as an excuse to spend and waste millions of ringgits on a useless and unproductive project. Due to the corrupt opacity of this useless Bulatan Warrior’s Trail project, it is doubtful whether it will ever be completed.

     The only warriors I could discern during the reign of Corruption without regard for the sufferings of the Rakyat 2004-2018 were the Malaysian boudoir warriors at home and abroad.

     Not only that, just another 100 metres from the Bulatan Dato Onn, a huge and tall Ministry of Works building was put up soon after 2004. All knew the contract was padded for another useless building to be put up when many office buildings were vacant in Kuala Lumpur since 2004 and all government buildings were directed to go to Putrajaya.

     Then, suddenly the former Prime Minister’s Office Complex was demolish and a range of concrete buildings quietly appeared under the ATM for crooks SIME DARBY !

     A mile north of this corrupt lot of construction works, a person could discern the UGLIEST BUILDING EVER BUILT IN THE FEDERATION right next to the Ministry of Agriculture.

     And another 2 miles as the crow flies, there is a huge clutter of Government building complexes opposite the Securities Commission and next to the Science Museum which to this very day, I am puzzled by its purpose and the huge number of staff employed.

     Finally, I bumped into a Potemkin BN Government Agency occupying many floors in the Menara MARA along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. All the furniture and staff were brand new. The latter just sat at their desks twiddling their thumbs and looked bored. There were no visitors. How many more Potemkin BN Agencies are hidden away in Kuala Lumpur today ?

     To top the abuse and corrupt excesses of precious Rakyat’s money, nothing can beat the RM 750 Million earmarked to be spent and wasted in the Taman Perdana or Lake Gardens. The birds will all fly away !

     Even before this horrific announcement, the Taman was already ruined by the many concrete structures put up through the decades. We should never ape other countries like Singapore which has nothing except for its Bluffology or BS.

     A dense oasis full of flora and fauna in a concrete city would have been the WAY to go for the citizens and tourists. Through the years, many tourist have said that they have BETTER CONCRETE STRUCTURES AT HOME AND DID NOT COME ALL THE WAY TO LOOK AT THE SAME !

     An to add on to the obvious CORRUPTION, a new Museum will be built. NO ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD BUILDS A MUSEUM TO HOUSE VALUABLE AND DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN REAL ANTIQUES. All the museums in the World were built AFTER THE COLLECTIONS WERE BUILT UP OVER A LIFE-TIME BY INDIVIDUALS OR FROM LOOTING BY IMPERIALISTS IN THEIR COLONIES !

     THEREFORE ALL THE MILLIONS OF RINGGITS WORTH OF ANTIQUES RECENTLY ACQUIRED BY THIS NEW MUSEUM MUST BE FAKES PROBABLY FRESHLY MADE IN INDONESIA, THAILAND VIETNAM AND CHINA.

     These factories were in operation since the early 1970s which I have visited then. There were so many of these fake antiques that these overflowed into a fake old Chinaman dealer’s home off Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur opposite Jalan Jugra. I visited this fake hoard of antiques too. He was minting money by selling them to foreign diplomats at the time.

     IT PAYS FOR THE NEWLY FORMED ECONOMIC ACTION COUNCIL IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST TO DISCOVER HOW MANY OF THESE USELESS STRUCTURES PUT UP BY THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT EXIST. With this mess in the Augean Sables cleaned up, then we may move from filth to rational economic nirvana.

     2. On ‘ SINGAPORE’S BALLOONING BUDGET ‘, it is the pigeons coming home to roost after 30 years of self-denial arising from the loss of Singapore’s or Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle, the BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES IN HARD AND SOFT ARMS, GARNERING FREE VIETNAM WAR DEBRIS, TOADYING UP TO DICTATORS ETC, MONEY LAUNDERING, SMUGGLING, SANCTIONS BREAKING, CHINA, NORTH KOREA, MYANMAR, MIDDLE EAST, AFRICA ETC. U.S. R & R, U.S. AIR BASE FACILITIES AND BUNKERING, U.S AID.ETC.

     This huge deluge of money from 1948-1989 into a small population of not more than 2 million souls ruled over by an honest and efficient Lee Kuan Yew Government, PUSHED SINGAPORE FROM THE 3RD WORLD TO THE 1ST WITHOUT ANY HUMAN EFFORT !

     Common sense dictates and all pundits should think how a slow moving tropical Colonial port which depended on COOLIES to load and unload all shipments at Keppel Harbour in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s (which I saw with my own eyes) and dilapidated century old buildings, the highest was the 10 storey OCBC Building in Chulia Street, could make so much MONEY. AND NOW WITH MANY MANY SKYSCRAPERS, SINGAPORE’S REVENUE IS MUCH LESS THAN THOSE TUMBLE-DOWN DAYS OF YORE !

     How come ? So many skyscrapers now and yet, Singapore makes no money. But without these skyscrapers, Singapore’s money pushed it from the Third World to the First. Think, Ladies and Gentlemen ! And the GDP was 7.5% as claimed by Lee Kuan Yew/Singapore.

     By accident, I discovered the Secret of Singapore’s or Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle in the mid-1970s when I wanted to invite a Singaporean Soft Arms factory owned by an ex-KMT in Jurong to invest in Malaysia.

     He told me his Libyan agent in 5 years could retire to Monte Carlo. We have Malaysian counterparts too which secrets were exposed in recent legal Suits ! And others as well. At that time, a Malaysian arms agent’s family had so much money that the daughters used expensive branded clothes to wipe the floor. Soon, the family was bankrupt. Man proposes. God disposes.

     The 7.5% GDP achieved by Singapore in the 1980s and the early 1990s do not tell the whole story. But this was enough to put Singapore’s Miracle into the ranks of the 5 Tigers of Asia Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore ! This was what was claimed by Singapore today ! That was yesterday, and today is today as one fallen Tan Sri told me.

     With the effect of Uncle Sam’s spiel which he regrets today via Trump, ‘ Globailization, Free Trade, Human Rights ‘ in 1990, the BRICS moved onto Singapore’s lush profitable Black Under-counter Trades business with credits and discounts for AK47s etc. By 2000, Lee Kuan Yew’s daughter-in-law took command of Temasek after having left the Chartered Industries in Jurong. Singapore’s much vaunted and flaunted GDP collapsed in 2002 heralding its first technical recession. Since 2002, the GDP could not breach 3% in a sustainable manner whilst Malaysia’s GDP was consistently above 4% despite the reported leak of RM 1 Trillion from 2002-2010 as reported by international agencies !

     I remember Lee Kuan Yew’s remarks in the 1960s,’ IN BUSINESS ONE MIGHT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEVIL !’

     Or was he typically making a snide remark on his secret formula for SUCCESS which was the Uncle Sam’s blessed SINGAPORE’S BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES IN ARMS ETC OF THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 !

     My friend the Remington franchisee of Beach Road, Singapore could make enough during the Indonesian Colonels’ Revolt in the late 1940s to buy a 12,000 acres estate in Johor by the early 1950s !

     Lee Kuan Yew despite his bumptious remarks in the early 1990s knew the score when the BRICS moved in on his profitable turf. Goh Chok Tong was despatched to India to arrange for the importation of FTs to push Singapore’s economy as per the textbooks which Goh now claims to be his idea.

     To this day, even with 1.2 Million FTs, it was like pushing Singapore’s economy with a string ! Then, he conjured the 2 casinos. the ill-conceived Temasek which exposed the financial reserves to THE GNOMES OF ZURICH AND SINGAPORE LOST HER PANTS BY OCTOBER 2008 !

     And now even deeper than ever before without realising that a NATION’S SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST IS ALWAYS DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF AN INDIVIDUAL- THIS IS NON-NEGOTIABLE ALWAYS. With his gargantuan mistake, Singapore is now firmly and truly locked in with the ups and downs of the financial fortunes of the West. Singapore has lost its SOVEREIGN INDEPENDENCE.

     LEE KUAN YEW IN HIS LIFE-LONG NARCISSISM FORGOT ABOUT INVESTING IN GOLD, 4,000 TONS AT US$ 300 PER OUNCE WHICH WOULD HAVE PUT HIM AS THE KING OF THE HILL AND MALAYSIA AS HIS SLAVE FOREVER. He was too clever even for his own good. Man proposes. God disposes.

     To make things doubly sure for his inheritors, he conjured up the cruel and cunning MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP WHICH ONLY BENEFITS SINGAPORE WITH THE HELP OF TREASONOUS MALAYSIAN CIVIL SERVANTS AND A SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCRAING BN GOVERNMENT.
     On 2 January 2017, Trump tore the TPPA up and the BN Government lost POWER ON 9 MAY 2018.

     HOW WOULD THE INHERITORS OF LEE KUAN YEW FEEL ABOUT THEIR BAD LUCK WHICH NEARLY ENSLAVED OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA FOREVER ? Just look at Brexit now ! And the TPPA/CPTPP has 50 volumes of Agreement !

     Fortunately, Man proposes. God disposes. is our beloved Malaysia’s invincible weapon.

     We might have to pay to deliver free water , or lose a couple of rocks or KTM lands and steel rails etc to Singapore.

     Together with our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, our beloved Malaysia is now one of four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia which is trekking rapidly upwards to the likes of the greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     Singapore is in deep trouble now with its First World status and a sub-continent style of living with its LEE KUAN YEW’S MIRACLE OF BLACK UNDER ARMS ETC TRADES HOLLOWED OUT FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS !

     Financial Daily. Quote.’ TODAY THE GOVERNMENT RELIES ON A LARGER PROPORTION OF THE RETURNS FROM THE RESERVES’.

     I reckon the huge reserves built up previously are nearly all gone. Thanks to the Gnomes of Zurich ! Hence, the perpetual increases in tax on the citizens. AND SINGAPORE HAS BEEN IN THE GRIP OF THE GNOMES OF ZURICH FOR DECADES due to flatteries on the Leadership ! Smart and cunning.

     Taking all into consideration the future of tiny Singapore in the borderless World of e-business is BLEAK, VERY BLEAK.

     Recently, I suggested Singapore should confederate with the United Kingdom to solve its survival and sustainability. A Singaporean remarked it is a DUMB idea. The World’s First Tele-Parliament to save both States !

     MALAYSIA BOLEH TUN AS ALWAYS ! NO PROBLEM AS LONG AS WE ARE NOT BOUDOIR WARRIORS AND SOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT ! LEE KUAN YEW WAS NEVER A BOUDOIR WARRIOR !

     The other headline today which should not be missed thus :-

     ” IS MATERIALISM A NATIONAL SICKNESS ”

     A doctor would run through his clinical mind how to fit in all those fake PMs, PH.Ds and Tan Sris and Datos in our beloved Malaysia. In every profession like in Politics, Dentistry, Medicine, Law, Accountancy, Secret Service Religions, NGOs etc and even Business, Malaysia has it all !

     Every NGO has a toothy spokesman or woman who would say his or her piece with authority. Every time these vocalists appeared I always wondered who backed them and how lucky they were to survive and lived by the gift of the GAB ! And their sorry tale of survival, sacrifice and sufferings before this. One like you Tun cannot help but to think in a compassionate sort of way. This is LIFE. All normal humankind will find the proverbial niche under the Malaysian Sun.

     Nowadays and literally every other day we captives of the multi-media even though I tried my best to keep myself to only a 20 year old handphone cannot escape the clutches of e-biz and its zeal to capture all living things with a human brain !

     And with the huge deluge of the greedy recalcitrants from the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with its equally corrupt and inclusive elites, the question naturally arises to the scientifically and medically trained mind like yours, IS THIS MATERIALISM REALLY A DISEASE WHICH COULD BE CLINICALLY DIAGNOSED ?

     Out of curiosity I reached for the Wikipedia for its interpretation of 2 Syndromes eg. THE PETER PAN SYNDROME AND THE MAGPIE SYNDROME.

     The Peter Pan Syndrome is a recognised syndrome about children who grew up and yet they seem never to grow up at all. As adults these Peter Panners shirk their allotted duties and responsibilities and could never face the problems they have to deal with ! A person who is of a Peter Pan personality would become disastrous to any country if he or she became its President or Prime Minister. Life studies are interesting Tun ! This Peter Pan Syndrome was alleged to be written about by one Dr Kiley in the 1980s. In the early 2000s our beloved Malaysia may have produced not only one but two Peter Pan Syndrome personalities in public life. This beats tiny Singapore hands down !

     And then, I reached for Wikipedia’s interpretation of the Magpie Syndrome which is a syndrome recognised earlier than the Peter Pan Syndrome. This Syndrome concerns humankind who has a penchant to accumulate all sorts of rubbish especially the glittering or shining varieties like jewellery, watches, flashy handbags etc. by the thousands. 10,000 Rolex watches is no big deal to a human Magpie.

     Two interesting clinical psychological studies for our budding young Malaysians. Strangely, my grand-daughter took me all the way to Kino at KLCC and bought a book recently, ‘PSYCHOLOGY’. Believe it or not. She wants to be a psychologist of any kind to the horror of her mother who wanted her to be a banker ! As you are aware Tun we doctors do not know how to lie on either side at all ! Hence, we always got CONNED by our closest aides ! There is an ancient saying, ‘ There is always another hill higher !” Betul !

     I recommend to budding young Malaysians that the study of Psychology in all its forms and varieties like clinical, industrial, corporate, academic etc. has a great future in our beloved Malaysia as we all go up the gravy train towards the likes of the greats Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. This is the WAY of the World – forever striving for progress, better standards and achievements.

     Our beloved Malaysia has now achieved two Syndromes at one throw or go eg. The Peter Pan Syndrome and the Magpie Syndrome. These two syndromes can only define what happened in our otherwise ordered, religious and civil Society in a logical, scientific and civilised manner. Maybe this is a good DEFENCE. “What can I do, I am born with this Syndrome ” ? is certainly acceptable in certain medical quarters. Or else, what happened was sheer MADNESS like Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll of Oxford or Tanjong Rambutan. In Singapore its Woodbridge ! Entirely out of this wonderful World.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if we have the normal DNA (Watson & Crick) !

     My resident bulbul bird in the young banyan tree is better than a Swiss made cuckoo clock. At 7 a.m. sharp every morning he would begin to chirp and sing as the sun peeped over the far horizon. Again, he repeated his repertoire this morning as I sat outside waiting for my grand-daughter to get ready for her favourite SMK with its wonderful teachers and pupils.

     An early Malaysian morning is one morning which should not be missed by anyone. It’s beyond description. However, affairs of the day take precedence with the following headlines thus :-

     1. ” IS MATERIALISM A NATIONAL SICKNESS ”

     2. ” MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA RUSH TO SLICE UP $3 TRILLION GLOBAL HALAL MARKET ”

     3. ” SINGAPORE’S BALLOONING BUDGET ” A cat trying to catch its tail ?

     Of the 3 interesting headlines, I choose ” MALAYSIA AND INDONESIA RUSH TO SLICE UP $3 TRILLION GLOBAL HALAL MARKET.”

     Despite of the rape of its financial resources, FELDA will make a lot of money if from now onwards there are the right leaders who will call the right shots to make money not for themselves but its shareholders and the Rakyat at large. This is how to create a huge industry right in the nexus of this huge S3 Trillion global halal market within strategic Malaysia.

     1. The key countries to supply the foods are Australia and New Zealand. For a fast take-off, FELDA should form co-operatives with the Australian and New Zealand farmers, herdsmen, fishermen and vegetable farmers. Not forgetting that due to vicissitudes of the climate, agricultural activities might be hampered by the climate now and then. This is where FELDA wins its kudos by lending a helping hand and goodwill. And not forgetting that farmers and fishermen are down to the earth people. Nothing airy-fairy for them !

     2. All the produce are shipped to Malaysia for processing. The processing plants or frozen seafood plants employ FELDA people and Malaysians housed in dormitories at convenient seaports.

     3. Victualling of ships at the ports is another business for FELDA.

     4. As the volume of produce from Australia and New Zealand grows, FELDA forms its own shipping line employing FELDA people and Malaysians.

     5. FELDA also supplies Australian and New Zealand produce to Malaysian hotels, malls and wholesale markets.

     6. MIddle East can only grow bigger as the wars will subside one after another. There are huge Muslim populations in India and China. Africa is waiting to be developed for fresh comestible foods.

     7. In fact, Chinese entrepreneurs having been eyeing this halal market 20 years ago !

     8. And do not forget, the wastes from these halal processing plants have a value too. Wastes are money. Once upon a time, the riches woman in China was a waste collector.

     9. Any young entrepreneur who is willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort and put in hard-work to built up relationships in this interesting business will be a tycoon within 10 years ! The volumes are huge if the logistics are perfected to take the load.

     10. This global halal business is the WAY to go for FELDA. Less capital and faster return than oil palm planting which has been RUINED BY IRRESPONSIBLE and UNCARING LEADERSHIP which bought 4th rate properties in 1st rate cities at sky high prices. This did not benefit the shareholders or the Rakyat at large but ended up in some bank accounts which benefited the host countries.

     11. The key to the success of any business is the Leadership and its organisation structure.Tthe top digit. Cheating will only kill any business. Raping the finances turns a business into a non-starter like Sime Darby with all its wonderful assets but never produce any profits out of innovation, vision and creativity.

     12 It is good business to co-operate with Indonesian interests to keep prices low and stable. This is a long term business and a volatile market is verboten.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! FELDA Boleh ! No problem. The Halal business with the proper business model is the WAY ! Your WAY !

     A typo error which should be 6……..unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites who were inclusive only to their paid flunkeys and cronies……..

     What an exciting morning we have today. My resident bulbul in the young banyan tree was chirping and singing in his happiness. He brought along the golden oriole with its haunting and plaintive calls. The sky was clear and blue without a cumulus cloud anywhere in sight. I felt exceedingly happy and relaxed so early in the morning which is the best time of the day in our beloved Malaysia. And more happiness as I ferried my grand-daughter to her favourite SMK which have wonderful teachers and pupils. What more does anyone want in our beloved Malaysia ?

     Yet there are the many not a few who would have destroyed this peace harmonious and prosperous landscape for a couple of filthy lucre !

     The decades of hard-work, hardship and sacrifice of those before these recalcitrants since Merdeka 1957. Our honest and distinguished Prime Ministers the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who all had care and visions for the Rakyat.

     But along came the fake Prime Ministers and within 14 years, all the country’s reserves in talents and assets were nearly wiped out through cheap desires being the weakness of the flesh and the soft under belly coupled with encouragement by cunning outsiders in the neighbourhood always attempting to create red-hot relationships with the top. The decades of Goodness were destroyed in just one proverbial day !

     However there is hope for the future thanks to our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad arising from this morning headline thus :-

     The Star ‘ COUNCIL TO DRIVE ECONOMY FORWARD ‘

     I congratulate all the members of this Council and wish them well in their deliberations on how to drive the economy forward. A good mix of its Council members constitutes the Council.

     And I see that the work has already cut out for them.

     As always, the historical aspects of our present self-inflicted damage to our economy are important. This is going back to the basics. Without knowing what happened, we can never fathom the extent of the unholy mess so created in order to clean out the Augean Stables. And without a clean slate, our beloved Malaysia will forever be enmeshed in the negatives and the corrupt nitty-gritty.

     As I see it,

     1. What held back Malaysia was the lack of enforcement of the Laws which created our country to be a haven for crooks of all descriptions.

     2. Our Laws are antiquated like the Trustees Act 1949, the Bankruptcy Act 1967. Companies Act 1965

     In 2002 I reported to the Police that my family Trust worth RM 50 Million was stolen out of jurisdiction. The Chinese woman senior inspector asked me whether I saw the Trustees took the RM 50 Million. I said I did not. She told me that there was no case. In the year 2019, all the RM 50 Million have gone into the Trustees pockets.

     The officialdom always tried to avoid problems. Like one officer told my friend 40 years ago. He would leave the files in the incoming tray for a week or two and then transfer them to the outgoing tray. No problem.

     3. The Administrative System has always been there. It was the digits which abused the System. This example lies with the HEAD of the System. There have always been little Napoleons around.

     For example out of many examples. I went to the Department of Registration, Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Kuala Lumpur recently and I asked for a Reconciliation Form. The little Napoleon refused to give me this brown form after 2 visits. She directed me to go to Shah Alam. I went to the HQ Putrajaya instead. The officer asid I could have as many forms as I like. I took two. I went back to the little Napoleon who was still reluctant to entertain my request despite my credentials.

     Many years ago, I went to renew my NRIC at Petaling Jaya. The little Napoleon told me my name in my mother’s citizen certificate was no good even though I asked the Dept heads who all said no problem when I returned home in 1960. She asked me for my mother’s death certificate which was lost after she died many years ago. I went up 6 floors to the Dept of Births and Deaths, The fellow in charge was not to be found. It took me another 2 weeks to see him. And after another 3 weeks, he could not find my mother’s death certificate. I contacted a civil servant whom I was donating RM 10,000 annually for her sporting association. I was told to obtain a brown form from the counter next to the little Napoleon who initiated my 2 months odyssey. Within 2 weeks, I got my new IC which I collected from the desk of the absent Chief of the NRD, Petaling Jaya.

     I love to do these little chores so that I have a feel of conditions at ground level. I am also aware of the injustice meted out to the ignorant Rakyat in more places than one.

     Injustice brings discontent and unhappiness creating anti-social behaviour like evading income tax, vandalism, etc which all add to the cost of maintaining a normal Society.

     4. And the importance of knowing the black-market price of approval for an advertising signboard along the highways and roads. 20 years ago, the black market price for a large advertising sign board was RM 20,000 for approval.

     I reckon the many artificial bumps along the roads of Kuala Lumpur will contribute a corrupt RM 1,000 each bump to the official in charge. By counting the number of bumps in KL, a person could work out that many millions of ringgits went as corrupt money into the officials pockets.

     All forms of corruption can only be contained but difficult to wipe out. Even in squeaky clean Singapore, there is corruption due to the ingenuity of Humankind. This is another story.

     With a campaign against Corruption, the New and Incorruptible Government will save 20 – 30 sens per ringgit spent. With draconian measures, Singapore could only get back 93 cent to a dollar expenditure.

     5. Rice is the key essential to bring down inflation or bring down a Government. Rice storage only encourages corruption because this was done during the BMA (British Military Administration} 1945-1950. One or two Chinese rice dealers became tycoons by corrupting the store-keepers. One told me how it was done !

     6. My hopes and best wishes are with the Council because its work will go on and on. We must not expect this job to be an easy task. As always, there will be more blame than accolades.

     However, this Council is the right move in the right direction by our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites who were exclusive only to their paid flunkeys and cronies. Early on, the money-losing MAS was buying fake art for real prices !

     6. The task of this Council is to steer the Country and its economy back to NORMAL which will bring down the cost of living and increase efficiency and productive. All factors have to work efficiently and in unison to produce any tangible result. One factor can not do so.

     7. As an aside, this Council should focus on inviting Japanese SMEs to set up shop in Malaysia with equal emphasis on Sabah and Sarawak. I find the Japanese are ethical and transparent when compared with other Asian investors. Japan is the answer to fill up gaps in our economy. A super efficient logistics system should be set-up between Japan and Malaysia. Maybe even direct between Sarawak, Sabah and Japan. This is the WAY to go.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if we all have the CAN DO Will and Spirit in the National Interest. Our beloved Malaysia is already on the Way, your Way trekking upwards to the likes of the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance japan. THIS VISION SHOULD BE WITH THE COUNCIL ALWAYS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST !

229. Tun

     There are no headlines of note after the long CNY holidays except for the fact that the owners of fake degrees which they bought at great cost still hang on obstinately to their pieces of parchment paper.

     And the bulbul bird still sings in the young banyan tree outside my house this morning at 7 a.m. sharp. For a moment I thought he had flown away to some distant lands. And there he was chirping and singing from 7 a.m. onwards. I wonder if some of the YBs with fake degrees wish that they could just fly away like the birds. May be the lush tax free goodies are too good to be neglected which are already for the pickings.

     This little revelation about fake degrees affect both sides of the Political Divide.

     One fellow claimed he had a legitimate degree from the University of Nottingham which is famous for agriculture but not politics. Another YB threaten to gun down those who question the fact that he did not pass his L licence in accountancy.

     In medicine, we have those who could not stomach the first term in anatomy, become dentists. But for those who did not pass the L licence in accountancy what do they become ? Politicians ! Or form your very own NGO or establish your very own Tax Free RM 2 incorporated place of worship. These are the best professions to make tax free money in the present slow economy !

     Tun, as you may discern there are still opportunities for the astute and enterprising in Malaysia. Who says there is discrimination ?

     The best 3 profession in Malaysia today are politics – you do not need capital only the gift of the GAB and maybe a fake degree to do some temporary conning of the Rakyat or a NGO – I knew one lawyer out of 18,000 who only had 2 rooms in my friend’s Wisma MPI. She donned a clean yellow T shirt and mumbled a few choice words as she ambled with the throng along the hot and humid streets of KL. Lo and behold ! She was ennobled and a personality of sorts in waning democratic countries !

     And of course, my rich female relatives who also had a share of the pie in the industry called Tax Free RM 2 incorporated places of worship. They too made millions of tax free ringgits. WHO SAYS THERE IS FEMALE DISCRIMINATION IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ?

     The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat at the next session should request those with FAKE degrees to stand up and identify themselves.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem for those who use their brains to earn an honest living WITH OR WITHOUT FAKE DEGREES. Only the gift of the GAB is required. An ancient saying,’ If you do not know how to smile, do not open a shop !’

230. Tun

     Even on this fine and calm Sunday, there is never a shortage of excitement concerning the public affairs of our beloved Malaysia. The spinning mills operate 24 hours non-stop to create their money’s worth or what it seems. May be it is the fertile imagination of nubile minds which could conjecture up all sorts of scenarios or options.

     Of course, I am referring to the latest in information or mis-information. This happens all the time even in the highest political councils of the World. The only way to deal with this matter is to take a sensible and common sense approach to blow away the opaqueness of the subjects and secure the real information on the subjects concerned.

     The first question to ask is why a person charged with responsibility and duties takes such a stupid step to acquire a fake degree ?

     The second question is to study how other countries dealt with such an absurd scenario ?

     Let us take the example of the World’s Best Island State Singapore.

     Singapore prides itself in Meritocracy in more ways than one. This Meritocracy was imposed academically throughout the education system.

     Of course, who can beat Lee Kuan Yew who went up to Cambridge by the backdoor of the lowest rung Fitzwilliam House without an Open Entrance Examination, Latin or Greek and was over-aged at 23 ?

     This Meritocracy spiel was an insidious attempt to keep out the hoi polloi of Change Alley from being the rulers of tiny Singapore. How many of these fellows can go to the Ivy League or Oxbridge ? None is the answer.

     From the beginning, Lee Kuan Yew began to parachute Singapore’s scholars into the best College of the University of Cambridge by financial means which blocked other scholars from Malaysia. He literally claimed this Best College as his own fiefdom to this day through subtle financial means. This Best College of course produced first class products like paper generals for Singapore. BUT THEY LACKED THE IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF THE BRAIN WHICH IS HOW TO THINKG.

     Hence, Singapore has 50 paper generals who are millionaires annually but could not produce INNOVATION, VISION AND CREATIVITY for the tiny isle. How ? With the failure of 2 generations of determination to produce a better LEE KUAN YEW. One thing is obvious, very obvious.

     The Policy to produce geniuses by artificial means is a failure. Geniuses are produced by Natural Selection according to Christ’s College’s Charles Darwin’s ‘ Survival of Species ‘ 1850. Lee Kuan Yew was no scientist and knew nothing about science and his only ability was to be able to lie on either side !

     With a Failed Policy based on Meritocracy for 2 generations in the hands, in 2014, 2 Singapore Ministers announced that in future, applicants for jobs and promotions will not only be based on their academic excellence but also on their OTHER TALENTS.

     After 2 generations Lee Kuan Yew found out that all the Singaporean scholars who went to the Ivy League and Oxbridge returned and could not fit into the rough and tumble of the Singapore World.

     For example, one female Cantabrigian returned to Singapore and with her equally naked Caucasian boy friend ran around the Holland Village one Saturday evening a couple of years ago. The Singapore Government was shocked and no action taken. She claimed she was bored at her job in Singapore !

     In the past 10 years, at least 10 Singapore ex-scholars or scholars were involved in sexual peccadilloes of sorts. In Singapore, they have a penchant for illicit free sex whilst in Malaysia they have the Magpie Syndrome of walloping mega ringgits, handbags, watches, Lindt chocolates etc. Because SEX is so plentiful in our beloved Malaysia. we do not have hang-ups or hang-overs on this NORMAL activity. Only beware of the VD !

     In conclusion, we have on the one hand, the squeaky clean Meritocratic Singapore which after decades of boasting about Meritocracy found that Lee Kuan Yew was not practising Meritocracy at all but something else. Hence the seismic change in their Failed Meritocracy to right a wrong.

     On the other, our beloved Malaysia have recalcitrants who should have the common sense and conscience not to steal beg or borrow a piece of faked academic parchment. To those who can say SORRY, just move on and serve the Rakyat honestly and willingly. No more. No less.

     Tun, here we have two factual examples of a FAKE MERITOCRATIC SINGAPORE WHICH WAS IN OPERATION FOR 2 GENERATIONS AND OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WHO DISCOVER THIS ABSURD WEAKNESS FOR TITLES EARLY ON IN THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT. Just say ‘Sorry ‘. Recognise the mistake and move on. But some find it difficult to say ‘ Sorry.’ This mistake is indefensible !

     As Deng Xiao Peng said, ‘ It does not whether a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.’ If only Singapore has a Singapore Deng Xiao Peng to-day !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as all of us behave NORMALLY because Man proposes. God disposes.

231. Tun

     Sorry. A minor typo error to my previous comment on Fakes…… ‘The 1982 Marriage Reform Law was fair and just. It did NOT make a mockery of the BN government because it recognised all marriages before 1982.’ The Minister of Law then in 1982 was NO FAKE……

232. Tun

     Is our beloved Malaysia going to be the home of FAKES AND PLAGIARISTS ?

     Another shameful addition to our World’s standing and prestige ?

     Forever our beloved Malaysia is inundated with fake doctors, dentists, bomohs, PH.Ds, professors, Tan Sris, Datuks etc that make us wonder why this pandemonium of fake titles play such an important part in our Society which asks no questions or demands answers.

     Convicted felons are similarly ennobled for their damage to our Society. Not only that, we have alleged fake PMs, fake Governments and fake elites who produced fake policies with fake results. Fakery holds no bounds in our beloved Malaysia these days.

     For example the alleged fake Minister of Law for the alleged fake Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, promulgated a fake revised Bankruptcy Act 1967 which was no revision at all.

     But it was a fake revision of this Bankruptcy Act 1967 which was unrevised and in the process, there is now the legal laughing stock of the legal World of a country Malaysia HAVING 2 BANKRUPTCY LAWS RUNNING PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER – ONE OLD OF 1967. ONE NEW OF 2017. Someone achieved the height of silliness in the silly season. IF THIS IS NOT A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE, WHAT IS ? Vide. The Star – Letter to Editor 25 June 2018.

     The Reform Marriage Law of 1982 was fair and just which did make a MOCKERY OF THE BN GOVERNMENT. It recognised all marriages PRE-1982.

     But the Fake revised Bankruptcy Law of 2017 produced by the fake Minister of Law PUT ALL THE BANKRUPTS UNRECOGNISED BEFORE OCTOBER 2017 due to alleged pressure from financial interests which dare not do this in Britain, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Weak. Very weak and corrupt. 19th Century Victorian punishment meted out to innocents at the behest of financial interests.

     By not giving a second chance, this fake Minister of Law misled over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and over 200,000 other bankrupts which are not fakes. AND THIS IS A LOT OF URBAN VOTES !

     This fake BN Minister of Law’s predecessors were EQUALLY FAKE – One tried to be a beauty of a certain age whilst the other made NO NOISE WHEN HE BECAME A MINISTER OF LAW AND DID NOTHING FOR THE RAKYAT BUT HIMSELF. Fakes galore !

     I thought fakery was only practised by fakirs of Mother India. But here in our beloved Malaysia, we have FAKES around every corner.

     Not too long ago, a Chinaman set himself up as a Tan Sri Chairman of a charity for Parkinson’s Disease. He was collecting millions of ringgits before he was brought down by the real Parkinson’s Disease Foundation.

     And the RM 2 tax free incorporated places of worship is a huge tax free industry of fakes.

     My illiterate sister-in-law who was from Bentong and a hair rinser in Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur set up her own RM 2 tax free incorporated church from which she collected millions of ringgits from her eager worshippers. This money was invested in the Marble Arch area of London and made millions of sterling pounds more. She died young and left her business to her daughter who is equally busy collecting tax free ringgits.

     Not only that, my cousin rides around in a chauffeured golden Mercedes S being abbess of a huge temple. Fakes operate on the innocent souls and in politics without any doubt.

     The only capital required to be a fake is the gift of the GAB.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if we always recognise who are the real Fakes and who are not. It’s a Wonderful World for FAKES which is our beloved Malaysia ! And honesty is no criterion to be a minister because all of us are supposed to be HONEST !

233. Tun

     To make my comment more complete on Lee Kuan Yew, believe it or not, his inheritors in their keen-ness to do down Malaysia like Lee Kuan Yew FORGOT FOR OVER 25 YEARS TO UTILISE LEE KUAN YEW’S GOODWILL AND CREDITS WITH THE SUPER POWERS OF THE WORLD FOR SINGAPORE’S BENEFIT ! Soon this valuable asset will diminish in value due to the erosion of Time. Instead, his inheritors are still obsessed with doing down Malaysia in the 21st Century.

     This is a dangerous distraction and wastes a lot of time and money arising from a Policy which has already failed to achieve anything for Singapore in conjunction with corrupt Malaysians but a couple of rocks, steel rails, and water which Singapore received for many years.

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     Tun at the end of the day, HISTORY IS THE FINEST ARBITER OF THE TRUTH.

234. Tun

     The worst headline for 2019 appeared in the Nikkei Asia Review this morning, thus :-

     ‘ MAHATHIR STILL LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF LEE KUAN YEW. ‘

     This is a load of unexpurgated rubbish or BS of the first order from the utterances of two so-called “experts” in both the Institute for International Trade and Investment and the Institute of Developing Economies. They have been conned by Lee Kuan Yew ! Both experts conveniently ignored the details of the one-sided Agreements which Malaysia had with Singapore due to corruption by the Malaysians who were responsible.

     And both “experts” were lackadaisical in finding new evidence about the Bluffology or BS created by Lee Kuan Yew about himself using the resources of the State which our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad never did. If at all, his closest aides forgot about the whole thing and never thought that brain washing of others was that important.

     Hence, our beloved Malaysia and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s significant achievements in the National Interest unlike Lee Kuan Yew’s self and narcissistic interest, always come up last in PR frays with Lee Kuan Yew and his cohorts. Much money was spent on the latter.

     Lee Kuan Yew killed the Singapore Middle Class by his 2 Child Family Policy 1972-1984. Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad created the 6-7 Million Malay Middle Class families from zero base in 1981-2003 which country in the World except for China did so. This Malay Middle Income Group now provides the political and socio-economic ballast together with the non-Malay Middle Class groups for the Nation. What better achievement than this.

     SINGAPORE NOW HAS ONLY 900,000 MALE CHINESE AGED 21-50. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011.

     Lee Kuan Yew employed swallows. For example there is one in CNBC, Bloomberg and CNN to look after Singapore’s/his interests. Ducks and swallows for the visiting expats, important tycoons and politicians, academicians etc. One Singapore female journalist in Jakarta and another female academician at the University of Chicago were very strident anti-Malaysia and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the height of the 1997 crisis and the imposition of the foreign exchange regulations.

     With the exception of only one academic, most were doing things at the behest of the Singapore Government which furnished them with scholarships. Surprisingly, through the decades most of these scholars achieved nothing much at all because they must have been doing more spying than studying !

     Here are the facts about Lee Kuan Yew.

     Lee Kuan Yew best achievement in his life was his Double First in Law at Cambridge in 1949 competing against a handful of war weary soldiers. He cheated to get into Cambridge by the backdoor of the bottommost College, Fitzwilliam House without an Open Examination, Latin or Greek and was over-aged at 23. At the important Bar Finals London, he was last, his wife was 3rd out of 200. Later in 1959, my wife was 7th out of 700 !

     After Lee Kuan Yew left the portals of Cambridge, it was a long life-long downward slide for him in nearly all his Public Policies which now left his inheritors and citizens in a bind in a place with no natural resources and only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 in a tumultuous World.

     The greatest loss of 2-3% GDP from the loss of Lee Kuan Yew’s Black Under-counter Trades in arms, sanction breaking etc. will be a killer for Singapore which puts her at the mercy of others. This Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle. The huge profits managed by an honest Government ruling over only 2 Million pushed Singapore from the Third World to the First. Singapore is now up a pole of no return without this lush profit of Black Under-counter Arms Trading etc.etc.

     Here is a selected list of the fables and foibles of Lee Kuan Yew who is now proven to be a fake in comparison with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     1. Lee Kuan Yew created the Anti-Cambridge, Godless and Neo-communist political and socio-economic System imposed on the citizens without their knowledge, bolstered by his Apparatchiks ( meritocrats ) and the West. The only authoritarian Asian Government supported by the West today. Slowly, personalities like billionaire Jimmy Rogers, Lee Kuan Yew’s children, activists etc can now see the cruelty and the lack of compassion of Lee Kuan Yew political and socio-economic creation in his own interest.

     2. Lee Kuan Yew imposed the 2 Child Family Policy on the citizens in 1972 without debate and without any scientific basis. This caused immense hardships, mental cruelty, abortions, divorces, suicides, religious fray, emigrations, fall in marriages, punishment by income tax etc until the mid-1980s. The damage was done to Singapore’s demographics forever. LEE KUAN YEW HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

     3. Lee Kuan Yew actively engaged in the Cold War Black Undercover Trades not only in hard and soft arms but also sanctions breaking, China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East, Africa etc. Toadying up to dictators and drug lords, recovering Vietnam War debris free, money laundering, US R & R, bunkering and air base, US Aid, smuggling, etc. At the end of the Cold War 1948-1989, this Black Under-counter Trades amounted to 2-3% of the GDP. After the BRICS moved in, this 2-3% of the GDP was gone forever to this day 2018. The GDP never breach 3% since 2002.

     It was Uncle Sam’s post-Cold War hegemonic spiel in 1990,’Globalization Free Trade, Human Rights.’ which cooked Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle or Golden Goose of Black Undercover Trades in Arms, etc. forever.

     After this the BRICS could offer credits and huge discounts for arms. The Chartered Industries closed down. The daughter-in-law became Temasek’s Chief by 2000. And Indian FTs were imported to push the GDP like with a string. This failed miserably but brought into Singapore the Indian Way of Life.

     In desperation, by 2003, Lee Kuan Yew conjured the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP, the FTs imports, 2 casinos, and the ill-conceived Temasek to save Singapore for his inheritors. All 4 initiatives failed. In October 2008, Temasek lost US$ 108 Billion ( RM 324 Billion ) on Wall Street and the City officially.

     4. Lee Kuan Yew applied his life-long formula by over-paying tycoons in Malaysia, Hong Kong etc who served him well. He bought out Thaksin’s business at US$1.3 Billion to stop the construction of the Isthmus of Kra Canal which he thought would kill Singapore’s harbour in time. This Thaksin Purchase split the free Thais into two bitter factions and caused deaths and injuries to innocent Thai men, women and children to this day. LEE KUAN YEW HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

     5. Lee Kuan Yew’s Policy towards Malaysia is the wrong Policy which distracted him and his inheritors and wasted a lot of their time and money using the resources of the State.

     They are so brain-washed that they could not find the answers which are in the deep recesses of their brains but only reverted to his often contradictory quotations all the time. Like Mao’s Little Red Book, Until Singapore gets a Singapore Deng Xiao Peng, Singapore will be incarcerated MENTALLY WITHIN THE PRISON OF THEIR MINDS !

     Finally, the “experts” claimed Lee Kuan Yew cried at the TV presentation on the 1965 Separation. Vide, onlinecitizen.com The Albatross Files. Secret British Official Files. The Tunku claimed Lee Kuan Yew was quite happy to leave. Lee Kuan Yew was recorded as threatening the journalists present not to show him smiling but crying.

     6 – 47 THERE ARE 42 MORE OF THE FAILED PUBLIC POLICIES OF LEE KUAN YEW. Vide. chedet.cc.org Archives Sept 2010. Malaysia according to Kuan Yew.

     Lee Kuan Yew’s inheritors boasted about the 1962 Water Agreement, the Pulau Batu Puteh and the KTM tangos with corrupt Malaysians, etc. These in international terms are of no consequence. His sycophants the ex-President, ex-Chief Justice etc published in October 2014 ‘ Big Ideas of Lee Kuan Yew ‘ to thank him, thus, confirming that there is NO SEPARATION OF THE EXECUTIVE AND THE JUDICIARY IN TINY SINGAPORE !

     BUT OVERNIGHT THANKS TO OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEIOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMED AFTER 9 MAY 2018, OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BECAME ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA.

     Malaysia is now trekking rapidly upwards towards the likes of the greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. Where are you little brother ?

     I think my facts are more expertly than the two “experts” who relied on the information doled out to them via the huge Singapore Ministry of Information with many ex-Malaysians from the Straits as employees.

     Our beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is a GIANT IN HIS OWN RIGHT WITHOUT RESORTING TO BLUFFOLOGY OR BS USING THE RESOURCES OF THE STATE TO GARNER SUPPORT OR WHATEVER.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. At the end of the day our beloved Malaysia has already won hands down against no resources Singapore with only 900,000 male Chinese 21-50. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.

235. Tun

     The morning is bright with a typical CNY January blue sky.

     Another important festive holiday for all Malaysians. Which country can be better than our beloved Malaysia with its diverse people living in harmony, peace and prosperity under a New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great ? Malaysia which has its GDP constantly above 4.5% GDP with full of natural resources and a dynamic Rakyat ready to do productive things !

     A headline in recent days which should not be missed, thus,

     ‘ DR M MAKES SURPRISE VISIT TO TBS IN CONJUNCTION WITH CNY ‘. I have known only one Prime Minister who does this surprise visits most of the time and that is Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with Tun Dr Siti Hasmah.

     I personally bumped into them twice around corners – once in the 1980s at the Ampang Park Complex at around 8.30 pm. And on another occasion at the Sogo in the 1990s at about the same time. Each time there was only one bodyguard around. I did not introduce myself.

     To me, these visits showed a caring and dynamic Prime Minister who took precious time off to find out for himself the true situation affecting the Rakyat at the ground level. Which better place to do this but the malls in the evenings ?

     Unlike certain fakes who behaved like Little Lord Fauntleroy dressed in silks and leather buckle shoes as though the whole World owed them a living. And thereafter failed miserably. A Prime Minister cannot govern without the full knowledge of how the Rakyat work and play at all times. Their hardships, sufferings, the trials and tribulations affecting common people on the ground.

     Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad showed his proper up-bringing and care for the Rakyat as a Leader of our beloved Malaysia – a great Nation. And thanks to his brilliance and courage, Malaysia became one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     The Tun has given our half-dead and half-past six beloved Malaysia 2004-2018 ready to be enslaved by Singapore for eternity a NEW LEASE OF LIFE AND FREEDOM due to the machinations of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites. JUST LOOK AT BREXIT TODAY ! All of us lock stock and barrel were to be sold as SLAVES VIA THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP which was a creation by the cunning Lee Kuan Yew to leave the enslaved Malaysia as his final legacy to his inheritors. MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     His cunning scheme collapsed. With the Malays killed off, the non-Malays suffer a fate worst than death because of our CONSITITUTION WHICH LAYS DOWN THE RULES OF GOVERNANCE !

     So did Lee Kuan Yew’s other 3 initiatives to save and sustain Singapore for his inheritors eg the ill-conceived Temasek, the FT imports and the 2 casinos ! MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     As for Lee Kuan Yew, he was not interested in the citizens unlike our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad after dusk !

     He was only interested in the order and cleanliness of things along the streets of Singapore to boost his image. When he was in the mood, he would cruise along the streets with his wife at midnight with a body-guard cum secretary to take down notes. He was particularly interested in the colour of bougainvilleas, Lee Kuan Yew creepers, and rain trees. All of these flora do not have worms. At one stage, there were so many of these flora, the birds flew away to JB. The Singapore Government had to employ a British ornithologist to study why there were no birds in Singapore ! The birds are back after another rush to plant trees which bear berries and worms after years of AWOL by the birds ! This was a sheer waste of money and an absolute farce at the beck and call of a one-man show.

     Likewise, there was a big rush to knock-down all the places of worship and heritage sites in Singapore in the early 1970s at Lee Kuan Yew’s command. Until his buddy suggested that he was over-doing it and destroying Singapore’s precious heritage. Then, he went over-the-hill by building faux-heritage buildings all over. Exactly, like what the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution of 1966 did to China. Today, we can see all the ancient heritage of China have to be replaced by fake plastic creations.

     History is the finest arbiter of the Truth, Tun !

     A Prime Minister or a politician must have a proper background and up-bringing because he holds Power and great duties and responsibilities. This was what Tun Tan Siew Sin told me in the late 1960s !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with a kind, good and caring Prime Minister of our beloved Malaysia like you, Tun ! No half-past golf and sneaky trips overseas and return with jet lag in full view of the Rakyat in the middle of the Dewan Rakyat !

236. Tun

     An extremely quiet good morning with my resident bubul still chirping away and sang his song now and then. There are now many birds in the neighbourhood. Thanks to him. He is not concerned with affordable housing which he finds everywhere in tropical Malaysia, the lush flora.

     This brings The Star headline thus, ‘HOUSES EVERYWHERE, BUT WHERE ARE THE BUYERS ? EXACTLY FIVE MONTHS AGO THIS COLUMN HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR THE NEWLY FORMED NATIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING COUNCIL (NAHC) TO UNDERSTAND THE KEY FACTORS FOR THE OVERHAND OF PROPERTIES……’

     On this matter, how many Malaysians understand how the property development system works in this country ?

     First, there is the bureaucratic red-tape. Secondly, the construction industry grew by itself in a free market economy due to the fact that Malaysia’s governments were democratic and free-market minded from 1957 until the advent of the very close and very hot relationships with Singapore which turned into a Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 together with its equally corrupt elites.

     To add more corruption, the GLCs were introduced from an authoritarian State. The lame excuse was because Singapore has GLCs, it is also good for our beloved Malaysia. No need to think out all the options for Corruption !

     Hence, 1 Trillion ringgits flowed out of our beloved Malaysia from 2002-2010 according to international surveys. And another RM 470 Billion from 2011 – 2018 according to a New Minister !

     Because of the anti-social character of this Malaysian property development industry, I did a tiny one and gave up and never did it again. No income tax evasion for me or running around with bags of cash from huge deposit boxes or bank accounts overseas. Thank you very much !

     For our beloved Malaysia, affordable housing under the present political and socio-economic structure will be tough to achieve given the fact there is no single Authority under an Authoritarian Government like Singapore or China and we have a free-wheeling capital market. The latter also found this affordable housing desire difficult to achieve.

     Singapore recently admitted that the HDB flats belong to the Government after 99 years ! This was a real wet blanket for all those happy owners who were locked into this delusion.

     How does a normal developer begin his enterprise in a Malaysian State ?

     He has to get the approval from the MB and other authorities of the State. Because of this restriction created by this bottle-neck, all those who obtained approvals thought they were the one and only who had a special approval given to his 1000 condos on his one acre. Little did he know that the same MB would issue another 100 approvals for a similar piece of land. Because of the cost of obtaining such special approvals, there was a rush to build, sell and collect back the expenses and profits as quickly as possible.

     The whole condo production ballooned up to the extent there was no limit to the applicants. Come what may ! The MB had a Mercedes S with a huge boot which may accidentally open and spill out the surplus ! There was a real example of this a few years ago. The same personality went to Queensland with bags which did not carry his clothes !

     In the Malaysian scenario, this is why we see so many young gents in black suits without neckties displaying themselves in lush adverts about their equally lush products – the latest in condos with greenery creeping upwards as high as 88 storeys which even the ants can reach in tropical Malaysia.

     It was Malaysia who pioneered the nexus between political Power and the moneyed Private Developers Sector. This is the bottle-neck. This is the cause of the ultimate ballooning of houses and condos to come. This is where China which has a similar bottle-neck, could balloon up its houses and condos which sometimes created abandoned cities.

     China in this bottleneck scenario is 10,000 times bigger which affected its banks accordingly like in Malaysia. There is no escape for the banks if their risks units were sleeping.

     The China bottle-neck in the ballooning of houses and condos is caused by factors exactly the same as that in Malaysia – the Government bureaucratic set-up of the Mayor and the City or Town Party Secretary. These two work in tandem in the approval of building projects. Hence, the speed in which buildings are constructed in China and the huge amount of money which flowed out to Hong Kong to create inflation.

     This money was coming to Malaysia too at the behest of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its equally corrupt elites if not for the sane realization by the New and Incorruptible Government that this all-out investment by foreigners could be a form of FOREIGN COLONIZATION BY STEALTH.

     Now what is the solution to the expensive benchmark so created in Malaysia since the beginning of time in property development ?

     The inherent costs arising from multiple levels of developments.

     For example, a Chinese in the DBKL Planning Unit could retire to a lush huge house in Bukit Tunku Kuala Lumpur. What do we expect of all his seniors in the DBKL ? Hopefully, the present Campaign to eradicate Corruption is effective. My view is that Corruption can only be contained. The next weak Leader that comes along the fires will light up again into another disaster.

     The paper costs which is now inherent in the costs borne by the Private Sector have to be eradicated. How ?

     The financial costs demanded by the banks which are NOT CONTROLLED. These banks for a RM 1,000,000 30 year mortgage loan will charge RM 5,000 interest payment per month and RM 1,500 capital repayment per month for 30 years. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PROFITEERING BY THE BANKS. UNLESS THERE IS A BETTER FORMULA, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE OF ANY PROFESSION TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN SUCH DEMANDS.

     The Banking System of Mortgage for working people needs to be revised and reined in for the NATIONAL INTEREST AND NOT FOR THE BANKS POCKETS.

     The cost of land rises concomitant with red-tape CORRUPTION engendered by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2002-2018 and its equally corrupt elites and the corrupt GLCs which could outbid and outspend everyone !

     I envisage small affordable townships for 10,000 persons extendable to 20,000 wholly built by the State Governments within 30 minutes drive by car or bus with connections to commuter rail or not.

     It is impossible to have affordable housing in cities or towns in Malaysia given the red-tape, the high cost of land, the PROFITEERING BANKS, the mind-sets of property developers which contractors demand at least 30% profits with poor quality works, and over-development to cause ballooning of houses and condos with no restrictions.

     For example, during the last days of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites, all Government lands in Kuala Lumpur were given away and the highest possible buildings were approved. Even a tiny plot of land reserved for a surau next to the Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas, along Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 behind the New Istana Negara was given out to be turned into a motorcar show room. This is now abandoned after 9 May 2018. Man proposes. God disposes.

     We can have affordable housing for all if we recognise the pitfalls of the Malaysian construction industry which are MAN-MADE and the fact that new small townships of affordable housing in all States adjacent to established cities and towns are the only solution – WITH ONE SINGLE AUTHORITY CONTROLLING FROM THE ACQUISITION OF CHEAP LANDS RIGHT TO THE COMPLETION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH MAY BE UPGRADED IN THE YEARS TO COME.

     This 30 year mortgage loans by banks is a scam and an eyewash which is not sustainable or affordable to the borrowers who are working people. HOW TO PAY FOR ANY SUCH LOAN WHETHER RM 1,000,000 or much less when a monthly instalment pay consists of 90% interest and 10% capital repayment ? This is actually against the NATIONAL INTEREST AND IS PROFITEERING WITH A VERY SECURE SECURITY BORNE BY THE BORROWER !

     In conclusion, the following important points for affordable housing come into play :-

     1. Cut out the red-tape and the private developers by having a single State Affordable Housing Authority – corruption here could be HUGE given the propensity of certain recalcitrant.

     2. Cheap State lands within 30 minutes drive of State towns and cities.

     3. OVERHAUL THE PROFITEERING BY BANKS ON THE MOST SECURED SECURITY OF ALL WHICH IS PROPERTY. For them to charge for a RM 1,000,000, an interest of RM 5,000+ and a capital repayment of RM 1,200+ is absurd and is profiteering. I quoted this example for easy understanding. The loan figure could be much lower like RM 500,000 – RM 100,000 over even RM 50,000. The late Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali would have none of this nonsense. His famous remark, ‘ IT STINKS ‘ applies to the banks profiteering by giving out very safe 30 year mortgage loans at high interest rates.

     4. Small towns of affordable housing of a unique Malaysian modern style and design within 30 minutes of driving to the established towns or cities as the nexus with later add-ons of other housing etc. A PROTOTYPE SHOULD BE CREATED FOR IMPROVEMENTS AND DEBATE !

     5. The buyers of affordable housing should be bolstered also by the EPF, the companies or agencies they work for, etc. The main focus is to provide eligible buyers everything which is possible to sustain their ownership and affordability.

     6. There should be a built-in potential in every affordable house for future upgrading with an enhanced value to prevent neglect, decay and diminishing values affecting the house. The houses must be seen to appreciate in price due to demand because of desirability. All purchasers are listed in the computer to lock out second time buyers.

     7. The whole Scheme should be kept simple and easy to understand. And also for monitoring against CORRUPTION.

     Our beloved Malaysia can create something unique like our famous FELDA as created by the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and his loyal and honest aides. This Affordable Housing Scheme runs concomitantly with the New Car Project. We do it within our SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST – OUR WAY, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if all is centralised to provide Affordable Housing for all. But without checks and monitoring such a Scheme could be the biggest of all Corruptions !

237. Tun

     There are so many interesting headlines every day in the media. One which struck my eye thus,

     ‘ DR M DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE POLLS SURVEY.’ and in the same breath the Survey focussed on not more than 2,800 Malays – too small a figure to be meaningful and professional.

     Here are the pitfalls created by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     1. The disgruntled over 200,000 young and urbanised Malay bankrupts and the rest of over another 200,000 bankrupts were left out by that infamous BN Minister of Law in the fake amendment of the Bankruptcy Law 1967 which was no Amendment at all. But the creation by this fake Minister of a New Bankruptcy Law which now runs parallel to the old. Vide. The Star, ‘BANKRUPTCY LAW OUTDATED ‘ 25 June 2018.

     AT THE MOMENT OVER 200,000 YOUNG MALAY BANKRUPTS AND ANOTHER OVER 200,000 BANKRUPTS ARE LOCKED IN FOR LIFE BY THE INCOMPETENT BN MINISTER AND NOT CONTRIBUTING TO THE REVENUE AND ECONOMY FOR THE GOVERNMENT

     It was alleged this BN Minister was influenced by financial interests which dare not do this in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. These countries’ Bankruptcy Laws are up-to-date which give a bankrupt another chance in LIFE unlike the existing Malaysian Bankruptcy Act which PUNISHES A BANKRUPT FOR LIFE IN AN 19TH CENTURY VICTORIAN MANNER.

     IF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT RIGHTS A WRONG, THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ANOTHER 500,000 URBAN VOTES IN ITS POCKETS COME 15TH GE ! It is as simple as this, Tun !

     The fake BN Minister was also famed for proposing to renovate the RRI Welwyn Garden City England research station for RM 350 Million to train tropicalized Malaysian athletes by flying hundreds of them to and fro 7,000 miles each way. How can a person like this be a Minister of Law with no common sense and compassion ?

     Not only that, the predecessors were either trying to look beautiful or confused and did nothing. None of them took this important job seriously. Let us all hope that the present Minister of Law do some serious work like revising the Bankruptcy Law 1967 up-date like Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia and not subscribe only to say sweet nothings in common with his colleagues..

     2. The other pitfall created by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government is the huge overhang of unemployed graduates who became unemployed for different reasons but the main reason is the slow economy CREATED BY THE BN GOVERNMENT’S NEGLECT OF THE GENERAL ECONOMY BY PURSUING PROJECTS WHICH PROVIDE JOBS FOR GRADUATES 2004-2018 – 14 long years of neglect and corruption.

     We see today there is not one single dram of remorse by those responsible with RM 113 Million cash, 500 handbags, 400 watches, 12,000 pieces of jewellery, Lindt chocolates etc. And maybe 10,000 Rolex watches hidden elsewhere. Concomitant with poverty just 1 Km or 2 Km away. And a minor official could walloped RM 2 Billion within 10 years !

     3. The lackadaisical ways of the Ministry of Tourism after 7 months are causing this Ministry to under-perform to produce scintillating results which can only be achieved by hard work, dynamism and innovations without kow-towing to the Boss. The incoming tourists must at least match the population of the country at 31 million. This is achievable given the prosperity of India, China and the Middle East. This Ministry which is not aware of its own importance to bring in the forex, is PULLING BACK THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE OTHER MINISTRIES WITH THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT NOT FIRING ON ALL 12 CYLINDERS, TUN ! Maybe Saddiq is the right person for this important job !

     The strengths of the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great thus,

     1. The magnificent creation of the 6 million urbanised Malay families by you, Tun which are the bulwark of our beloved Malaysia and their non-Malay colleagues which will dictate the future peace, harmony and prosperity trends to come.

     The middle income group have been LOCKED OUT OF THE PROSPERITY WHICH THEY DESERVED BETWEEN 2004 TO 2018 BECAUSE OF THE RAPE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BY THESE CORRUPT BN LEADERS. Worst than the Rape of the Sabine women of ancient Rome

     According to an international survey, 1 Trillion ringgits were siphoned out of the system between 2002 and 2010. Another RM 470 Billion from 2011 to 2018. Yet these corrupt BN Leaders behave as though the Rakyat owe them money.

     The middle income group of India is the bulwark of its prosperity, progress and the future. They are all English speaking. Many could be seen holding top jobs in America, Europe and Singapore !

     A middle income group stabilizes politics in a democratic manner and it is a huge benefit to any country of the World.

     IT IS TO THE CREDIT OF TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD THAT THE MALAY MIDDLE INCOME GROUP HOLDS ITS GROUND TOGETHER WITH THE NON-MALAYS. – 6 – 7 million Malay families of outstanding qualify like their non-Malay counterparts. This is where the over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts are found.

     On the other hand, the rural and new village agrarian folk need much subsidies always and will have to be treated differently.

     Both the urban and the agrarian groups are cornerstones of peace, harmony, progress and prosperity to our beloved Malaysia always.

     Tun, your urban support together with the rural even though of a lesser proportion will be profound WHEN OUR ECONOMY TAKES OFF IN THE 2ND HALF OF 2019 coupled with the honesty and efficiency of your New and Incorruptible Government reverting back to NORMALCY from SHEER MADNESS.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

238. Tun

     An important headline today, ‘ SINGAPORE MANUFACTURING, SERVICES SENTIMENT TURNS GLOOMIER FOR H1 2019’

     This is about Singapore’s current dilemma of an absent buoyant economy which is not sustained by natural resources and lost its Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle of Black Under-counter Arms Trading, Sanctions breaking, money laundering etc of the Cold War 1948-1989 which black trades were taken over by the BRICS without even a ‘thank you.’

     If those involved in the manufacturing and the service industries of Singapore, are worried about the near future which they already could perceive from the orders placed with them for the next 6 to 12 months, Singapore can expect two things to happen – a tchnical recession staring at them in the face and an early GE. Hopefully, their infantile attempts to set up our beloved Malaysia up again as a bogeyman would stop promptly.

     Singapore stepped on China’s toes not too long ago on the South China sea in 2015 – 2016. By July 2017, important members of the Singapore Cabinet were lined up like school-boys to shake the out-stretched hand of President Xi after receiving a hefty smack ftom the Chinese.

     In the case of Malaysia, there is no doubt some manufacturing facilities will be affected with the general downturn in the World economy. However, whatever Malaysia produces, her produce and manufactured products could always be sold in the open market notwithstanding the price.

     To this end, the New and Incorruptible Government with its pursuit of NORMAL monetary and fiscal Policies under a FM who is experienced in keeping a NORMAL set of books, is pursuing the right path in the face of a slow-down in the World’s general economy.

     As I have always said that thanks to the brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side, our beloved Malaysia was not only saved from certain ENSLAVEMENT BY SINGAPORE VIA MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER THE TPPA/CPTPP AND CERTAIN DEATH but Malaysia is now one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Man proposes. God disposes.

     The Motivation and the Will of the New and Incorruptible Government will not only see Malaysia sail through difficult times but the efficiency in dispensing money is the key to Malaysia’s future success and prosperity for the Rakyat. There should no doubt about this.

     Mind-sets will change with success and money in the pockets – such is the behaviour of Humankind.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     There are two aspects of the New and Incorruptible Government which seem to have lost its way in the course of supporting and strengthening its governance as regards the Rakyat in the urban and the rural areas.

     In the media there was mentioned by a political pundit that the fallen ex-Prime Minister seems to be gaining traction. I view this as the lack of dissemination of the true facts concerning his downfall by the Ministry of Information.

     The Ministry of Information should be the outfit which goes all out to present the truth about the huge theft of Government money from 2004 to 2018. No stone should be left unturned to disseminate information on the wrong doings of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites 2004-2018 especially in the rural areas where the rural folk are still unaware of the smooth talking types from the urban areas. This is a huge gap in practical politics which is now left unattended to by the New and Incorruptible Government.

     A neglect which might cause it much damage and regret at the next 15th GE as I see it.

     It is time the New and Incorruptible Government plug this information gap through its Ministry of Information and it should not be misled by demands for more and more sophisticated services for urban folk.

     All Rakyat should be kept well informed of the huge damaged caused by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites 2004-2018 at the expense of the Rakyat, urban and rural.
     If this is not done now. it is impossible to reverse the constant and daily misinformation now aimed against the New and Incorruptible Government.

     Singapore has a huge Ministry of Information for a one street town. Brainwashing is its main function and collecting dirt on personalities, local and foreign. Then, the overkill with their political cadres operating in every niche of the Society. This has been going on since 1962.

     The well-being of the New and Incorruptible Government must get all its 12 cylinders firing in a synchronised manner at once and with intensity.

     Another Ministry which I have noticed being administered in a casual manner is the Ministry of Tourism, Youth and Culture.

     At a time when the coffers of the Government are empty, this Ministry should be the one that goes all out to bring in the tourists from India, China and the Middle East. The pictures of the YB Minister depicted him as very satisfied with his job as a Minister.

     A Minister of Tourism is hard work to bring in the goods. The travel agents need profits and support from the Government. Subsidies of all kinds should be considered. All countries are eyeing the same cake and the competition is stiff and tough because this is the cheapest way to bring in the foreign exchange.

     Since day one, the Ministers of this Ministry have treated it like their own travel agency and ATM.

     TOURISM HAS NEVER BEEN TREATED SERIOUSLY BY MALAYSIA AS SERIOUSLY AS DEVASTATED GERMANY, ITALY AND JAPAN AFTER WORLD WAR II.

     It is time for us to wake up that Tourism is a good and clean money earner for all Rakyat and it should be the No. 1 priority of the Government to push the Ministry of Tourism to do its important role accordingly. There is no free lunch in Tourism. IT IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS TO GARNER VALUABLE FOREX EASILY.

     I reckon the Ministry of Tourism is one of the toughest Ministry to handle if the Minister knows how to bring in the tourists.

     Lee Kuan Yew appointed his sister-in-law to chair the Tourism Board until she retired. There should be no hanky-panky or Speedy Gonzales agreements which afflicted the officials of the Ministry of Tourism 1980s-2018.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as all the Ministries are firing all 12 cylinders in a synchronised manner.

     An amendment to my previous comment.

     ‘…….Malaysia was on her knees and would have been enslaved by for LIFE BY SINGAPORE via the TPPA/CPTPP if not for the timely intervention by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side………’

241. Tun

     A headline which brought back pleasant memories of the past and some disturbing events also. ” TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN’S ENDURING LEGACY “.

     Tunku Abdul Rahman was the right man at the right time to take on the mantle of Leadership of a new and independent country which was our beloved Malaysia.

     His strength was his character which saw him going up to Cambridge which must have been a mystical place then in the 1920s ! By the time of Merdeka 1957, he was ready for the top job. But his honesty and sincerity in believing in his friends like the British brought his eventual misstep which was the British Colonial Economy which he inherited. No one advised him on the importance of the socio-economics of a Central Bank in an independent economy. He was happy to leave financial matters alone to the MCA which did not know more than him. The miserly ways of its chief were interpreted as good socio-economics. From 1957 to 1971, the Policy of the British Colonial Currency Board held sway. The country only spent what it earned. The colonial contrived economy was very slow. Newly minted graduates at home and abroad were suffering due to the fact their real worth was not recognised as worthy professionals. There were no housing or car loans, credit cards, ODs etc. It was a cash based economy in which the rich got richer.

     There was an incident in Pulau Pinang in 1967 when the island was brought into line within the Custom duties area of the Federation.

     By 1969, a wealthy country which had an inequitable share of the wealth, was about to erupt due to many factors. At this point, the British had 70% of the best assets, the Chinese 25% with only a handful of tycoons, and the Malays a meagre 2% ! This was 12 years after Merdeka.

     But the Great Tunku managed to hold the Federation together due to his charisma and well-educated character who was loved by the Rakyat, for 12 long years. This was when certain sports bloomed and other sports flourished with the opening of their doors to all communities. No one noticed the very slow economy under a British Colonial type of Currency Board economy until it was disbanded in 1972.

     By 1971, the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Rahman and his Team were able to forge the NEP which was the platform to great wealth to all and sundry. This NEP unleashed the riches of Malaysia through its people’s dynamism, hard-work and natural resources via the BN Government Leaderships of the distinguished Premierships of Tun Abdul Razak. Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who were all honest, very well educated and had impeccable backgrounds to be the Leaders of our beloved Malaysia. They all did not subscribe to ‘KITCHEN POLITICS’ because politics all over the World is mainly a MAN’s job !

     Our beloved Malaysia was fortunate to have well=educated, honest and sincere Leaders of the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be our Leaders from 1957 to 2003 – 46 years to build up our reserves and talent.

     However, within 14 years 2004 to 2018, nearly all the riches and talents of our beloved Malaysia were squandered and wasted by weak and poor Leaderships. This was our beloved Malaysia’s darkest hour. Malaysia was on her knees and would have been enslaved for LIFE via the Malaysia/Malays Killer the TPPA/CPTPP if not for the timely intervention of our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     Our beloved Malaysia is now one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. Not only that Malaysia is fast tracking upwards and towards the greats of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan day by day !

     Man proposes. God disposes ! A super and World’s Best Weapon which Singapore does not have. They had the man but without God !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Our eternal gratitude to the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad always. Our eternal role models. No crooks for us, we are Malaysians !

242. Tun

     Another headline of note today. ‘Jomo : NO NEED FOR ECRL. JUST TAKE A FLIGHT.’ Sheer common sense.

     Unlike the Minister when asked why the MH 17 flew over a war zone in Ukraine. He replied, ‘ No one asked us not to.’

     To spend RM 60 Billion and throw our beloved Malaysia into economic bondage for 30 years is sheer madness of the first order by embarking on the ECRL. What sort leadership the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government provided for the Rakyat who elected them into POWER ?

     And yet their are still stubborn proponents for the ECRL !

     As Prof Jomo suggested why spend RM 60 Billion and become an economic slave of others when a short flight to the East Coast will do. Or as another pundit suggested that another highway there would have cost only RM 1 – 2 Billion. And there was mentioned of substantial padding of the contract as alleged.

     Just a few more flights to the East Coast would have provided much profits for the airlines which need more passengers to be profitable.

     Gigantic projects should now be only a distant memory of the most shameful era 2004-2018 in our honourable Malaysia’s history when corrupted money passing through official channels and hands was the order of the day.

     Our Courts are now crowded by the high-living Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership and its elites. All the recalcitrants exhibited no remorse at the huge damage to the country which they wrought. No shame. No remorse. These recalcitrant swore to uphold the Constitution and serve the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong, the Royal Sultans and the Rakyat to the best of their abiliites!

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

243. Tun

     An important headline today, ‘ BANKRUPTCY AFFECTS PRODUCTIVITY, REVENUE.’

     This was due to the fake amendment of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 by the equally fake BN Minister of Law who misled over 200,000 young Malays who were QUALIFIED TO TAKE LOANS OR CREDIT CARDS together with their non-Malay bankrupt compatriots.

     THIS INJUSTICE MUST NOW BE RECTIFIED BY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY HIS SIDE.

     The fake Amendment created another set of rules for POST-OCTOBER 2017 AMENDMENT BANKRUPTS WERE DISCRIMINATORY AND IGNORED THE CONSTITUTION RIGHTS OF PRE-OCTOBER 2017 AMENDMENT BANKRUPTS. Hence, the whole so-called Amendment became a FAKE AMENDMENT.

     There is an overhang of INJUSTICE concerning 303,415 cases of BANKRUPTCY which the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government misled to believe that the Bankruptcy Act 1967 was amended which was only an attachment. Nothing of the sort happened with these 303,415 cases locked in for LIFE.

     Over 200,000 cases are young Malays whilst the balance of the young non-Malays are in the other category.

     The Minister of Law of the Singapore Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was responsible for misleading the Bankrupts by CREATING A LAW WHICH RUNS PARALLEL TO THE UNREVISED BANKRUPTCY ACT OF 1967. NO WHERE IN THE WORLD DOES THIS. This is a shameful act by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     For example, the Marriage Reform Act 1982 was fair and just. When it was promulgated ALL THE MARRIAGES WHICH WERE NON-CIVIL BEFORE 1982 WERE RECOGNISED.

     In the so called Amended Bankruptcy Act 1967, ALL THE BANKRUPTS BEFORE OCTOBER 2017 DO NOT GET THE BENEFIT OF THE REVISED AMENDMENT WHICH ONLY APPLIED AFTER OCTOBER 2017. What sort of lawyer was this BN Minister ? A fake ? Hence, the over 200,000 young Malays bankrupts and the rest are locked in for LIFE.

     According to the writer to The Star, ‘ JUSTICE FOR BANKRUPTS.’ 25 June 2018. Quote. ‘ THE PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT LACKED THE POLITICAL WILL TO BRING IN REAL REFORM SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURES AND LOBBYING FROM BANKS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS………….SECTION 60(1) OF THE BANKRUPTCY AMENDMENT ACT 2017 CREATES TWO CLASSES OF BANKRUPTS, THOSE WHO BECAME BANKRUPTS BEFORE THE ACT CAME INTO FORCE AND THOSE DECLARED BANKRUPT AFTER THE ACT, AND IT DOES NOT ACCORD BOTH GROUPS EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW. THIS IS DISCRIMINATORY AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. unquote. This was how one Bankruptcy Act became two inequitable Acts running parallel to each other.

     WHERE ELSE BUT MALAYSIA ?

     The Pre-Amendment Bankrupts are locked in for LIFE in a 19th century manner of punishment. In other countries, Australia bankruptcies end after 3 years. Canada has a repayment formula which ends after 5 years. England bankruptcies do not last more than one year. Singapore discharges its bankrupts in 3 years.

     This BN Law Minister was famous for proposing spending RM 350 Million to renovate the RRI Research Station at Welwyn Garden City to train Malaysian athletes by flying them to and fro for 7,000 miles each way.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until CORRUPTION APPEARS !

244. Tun

     Coincidentally, the launching of the Plan to wipe out Corruption was launched on the same day that the IMF and the UN released the Global Financial Integrity statistics which showed that Malaysia was amongst the top 3 countries heading the least for outflows or CORRUPTION being China, Mexico, Malaysia and Russia in 2015.

     These Malaysian outflows are as follows :-

     2015. IMF US$ 33.744 millions or US$ 3.37 billions

     UN US$ 22.889 millions or US$ 2.28 billions

     Whatever outflow had taken place must hurt the socio-economic structure of Malaysia and directly its economy. And these damaging outflows were unchecked by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government from 2004-2018 – 14 years long. The first port of call would have been Singapore.

     A minor official could wallop RM 2 billion within 10 years !

     Any outflow is bad for any country. This reflects on the LACK OF MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND THE LAWS which encouraged all sorts of smuggling to be carried out in the Peninsula and points beyond. Concomitant crime rates would have risen due to the fact that criminals used Malaysia as a market place for illicit goods like trafficking in banned animals, drugs, money laundering etc. Not only was Malaysia a haven for domestic crooks traditionally but also international crooks of all shades and descriptions.

     The future generations will pay and pay for this oversight by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites due to the dire lack of cheap local capital for development of all infra-structures to benefit the Rakyat generally. The statistics of the Malaysian outflows alone confirm the CORRUPTNESS OF THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND ITS ELITES. The gigantic salaries paid to nobodies in the GLCs are another. Even before criminal activities have been discovered and prosecuted which were like confetti with an unending flow !

     All Rakyat should be ashamed of such absurd and wanton activities by the elected and once trust Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites who went further by selling our beloved Malaysia to the Singapore and Lee Kuan Yew contrived TPPA/CPTPP the Malaysia/Malays Killer of the First Order. I have always maintained that these treasonous leaders were not stupid. We are stupid !

     The TPPA/CPTPP would have enslaved our beloved Malaysia through the 50 volumes of Agreement which was signed by the fallen BN Leadership and was bolstered by the equally treasonous Civil Servants who were also in conflict.

     HOW CAN ANYONE WITH A SANE MIND BELIEVE SINGAPORE ANYMORE WHEN THE 1962 WATER AGREEMENT WHICH IS A SIMPLE DOCUMENT COULD NOT BE REVIEWED UNDER GOODWILL AND FRIENDSHIP EVEN THOUGH MALAYSIA MAY HAVE MISSED A REVIEW ?

     And yet the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites believe today that everything that comes out of Singapore is good, very good including the corrupt GLCs which would have KILLED our beloved Malaysia as well !

     The Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP breaks down the tariff doors of our beloved Malaysia completely and open the floodgates to the massive inflow of cheap goods which will swamp ALL in our beloved Malaysia, a small country trying to emerge into the World. Or our beloved Malaysia would have been ready if not for the 14 years of NEGLECT BY THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT.

     In other words, Singapore cannot have it both ways like having the cake and eat it as well. That’s too rich !

     The Singapore Business Times boasted that Singapore will save at least S$ 1 Billion annually with the enslave Malaysia under Singapore TPPA rule which translates into that Malaysia will lose at least S$ 1 Billion annually after the TPPA/CPEPPA was signed by the corrupt BN Leadership !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem with an Honest and Clean Government as led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side !

     No TPPA/CPTPP for us, we are Malaysians !

245. Tun

     Despite the snide remarks by the Opposition on the New and Incorruptible Government’s performance in the last 6 months, I dare say that the Government’s performance as to keeping a check on inflation and its related costs of essential food such as rice and other key items has been commendable.

     Rice is the staple diet of all Malaysians. Inflation moved up fast and relentlessly between 2004-2018 under the regime of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites. The lower the price of rice the better for the Rakyat and the Government. This is the key to controlling inflation in a Malaysian society which depends on Rice as its staple food.

     Not sugar, not flour but rice is the essential item. Not longer ago, chay kway teow and nasi lemak were at RM 5 and RM 1 respectively. But these prices have moved up to RM 7 and RM 3 respectively during the previous BN Governments 2004-2018 which had no notion to govern in a just and fair manner. Everything was free-wheeling between 2004-2018 with perfunctory announcements of a semblance of governance before festive seasons. With more stolen money siphoned out between 2002-2018.

     With an open Society and open trading economy like our beloved Malaysia, it is the Government which plays the important and ultimate role in the whole show – no one else can take its place in the Sun. Whether it is about racial, religious or other matters. Hence, those who were elected in trust by the Rakyat through democratic means via our unique Malaysian Democracy with a Malay bias have to bear seriously the tasks of responsibilities and duties which were allotted to them.

     But sadly and shamefully the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites failed their trustful constituents at every turn without exception. And on exposure there was no remorse as if malfeasance was their birth right ! What a shame !

     Whatever the incumbent Government, the lower the price of RICE the better. Come what may !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem until the price of RICE rises !

246. Tun

     Even though our beloved Malaysia has no State of the Federation Address, we can always create one. Here it is, the State of the Federation under the New and incorruptible Government as led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     1. I give full marks to the incumbent Government which has outstanding leaders like the FM, Saddiq, Loke, Mazlee, Saiffudin, Mat Sabu, Azmin and most of the others have done well. For starters, they are all honesty and dynamic. No golf for them at the Rakyat’s expense in time and money.

     2. Their very first task is to clean out the Augean Stables left by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites who lost their heads and their reputation due to their weakness of the flesh and the soft under-belly which were fully exploited by the whole World from Singapore via Indonesia and Thailand via the Virgin Islands and onto Wall Street and the gnomes of Zurich. You name it, these crooks have it. Even staid parents for a Lifetime grabbed a title and fled to purported China !

     3. The cleaning and the monitoring of the dirt will take a political Lifetime of good works such is the profession.

     4. The up-lifting of the post Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites culture of laziness with plenty of bravado coupled with constant attendances at conferences, studies groups, etc during which time no Civil Service higher than the Chief Clerk could be found every morning or every day.

     During 2004-2018, the traffic of Kuala Lumpur was over-crowded by Civil Servants roaming around in their cars ! Appointments to see the nobodies took a few weeks or months. One lackey told me that to see the PM of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government took 4 months with no guarantee of success. In other words, the BN Government was not governing but was doing other business like stealing money at the Rakyat’s expense in time and money.

     5. It is heartening to see the Ministers of the New and the Incorruptible Government inspecting their areas of responsibilities and duties. I wonder how many Potemkin set-ups which they have discovered ?

     6. The deliberate pursuit of NORMALCY to bring back the whole Government back to an even keel is to be lauded.

     7. Efficiency and the cutting of costs will return quickly due to the fact that IF THE HEAD IS NOT ROTTEN BUT FRESH AND HONEST, THE REST WILL BE THE SAME.

     The price of pencils will now drop from RM 10 to 75 sens !
     And most importantly, the infamous and corrupt DBKL will no longer create artificial bumps to augment the potholes all over Kuala Lumpur by collecting corrupt baksheesh from the contractors at RM 1,000 a bump.

     I hope all and sundry are now reminded of the crass DBKL corruption of millions of ringgits of the Rakyat’s money collected through corruption by every bump to their backsides !

     You may even calculate the amount of corruption money taken per kilometre by counting the number of bumps per kilometre.

     IT IS TIME FOR DBKL TO STOP THIS NONSENSE OF CORRUPTION BECAUSE MY VIEW HAS ALWAYS BEEN IF RECKLESS DRIVERS WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES OR OTHERS BY SPEEDING, LET THEM DO SO. There are laws to prevail over reckless drivers whose mothers could not even control them. Do not expect some inconsequential bumps to do so.

     8. Honesty of the New and Incorruptible Government will cost less for each Ringgit it spends – at least 20 – 30 sens less than the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018. This huge padding will be translated in real terms immediately into the Government coffers. This may be confirmed by the theft of RM 1 Trillion which was siphoned out between 2004 – 2010 as reported internationally and the RM 470 Billion thereafter to date ! A minor Government official could wallop RM 2 Billions in less than 10 years !

     9. With transparency and honesty and without travesty of Justice and fair-play, the New and Incorruptible Government’s Policies can only propel our beloved Malaysia upwards. Unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which Minister of Law was famed for proposing to spend RM 350 Million to renovate the RRI Research Facility at Welwyn Garden City to train tropicalized Malaysian athletes by flying to and fro 7,000 miles each way !

     This Law Minister misled the 200,000 young Malay bankrupts who are now incarcerated for Life and another 200,000 other bankrupts by not revising the Bankruptcy Act 1967 but only attached an amendment to it. This cruel neglect will jeopardise the lives of these 200,000 young Malay bankrupts as well as the other 200,000 bankrupts. It was alleged the Minister was under the influence of financial interests which dare not do this in Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Very weak and ineffective. Government which signed the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPPTP in haste to please Singapore. Vide. The Star. Letter to Editor, May 2018. In terms of the numbers of Rakyat affected, the other Laws now in the offing to be amended, do have miniscule effect.

     10. Peace, harmony and security have improved with the Rakyat’s trust and confidence that the New and Incorruptible Government will smack down any trouble-maker with the notion that the death penalty should be retained in our beloved Malaysia which have its population in flux created by the lackadaisical Policies of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elite 2004-2018.

     11. With 7 months of good and honest work with integrity by the Government, the platform is established to take advantage of the fact that our beloved Malaysia is now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Switzerland, Britain, Japan and Malaysia. And as a solid country with a newly minted Government, our beloved Malaysia is now fast tracking towards and upwards to the greats like Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. Where are you little brother ?

     12. The hard-work begins now as there is no free lunch in this World unlike the thieving Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites. EM 113 Million cash, 500 handbags, 400 watches, 12,000 pieces of jewellery, Lindt chocolates etc. with poverty just 1 km or 2 km down the road. And maybe 10,000 Rolex watches elsewhere !

     13. Finally, to keep its honest, transparent and fair-play with Justice image, the New and Incorruptible Government will have to be on its toes ALL THE TIME TO CATCH THE CROOKS AND CHARGE THEM IN COURT. Hence there is a solid case to employ more staff for the MACC, LHDN, SECURITIES COMMISSION, THE JUDICIARY and the PDRM. And these employees should be well taken care of.

     14. I can only congratulate the New and Incorruptible Government for their success. Just one virtue will suffice – HONESTY

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

247. Tun

     A disgraceful headline this morning, ‘ Owner of Medan Imbi building offers to buy two plots of land.’ This building was the subject of a Financial Daily comment a few days ago on the alleged corruption behind the whole façade.

     It is time the Rakyat wake up that the rule of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites was over since 9 May 2018.

     The Government is now the New and Incorruptible Government of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     This disgraceful fellow and his cohorts the DBKL and the original Federal Government agency should be INVESTIGATED BY THE MACC AND CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.

     He is so stupid and corrupt that he did not realise with a thick face that the whole deal stinks and corrupt with no open tender or transparency. A deal which our distinguished Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali would have said, ‘ IT STINKS ‘.

     Not only that, by offering to buy 2 more plots from the Federal Government is SHEER MOCKERY of the New and Incorruptible Government. Hence, he should not only be investigated by the MACC but the LHDN as well. If the whole conspiracy to cheat and steal is proven by the MACC, this is the ultimate mockery of an incumbent and reputable Government by a small time crook.

     WE MUST NEVER PERMIT CONTRACTORS AND PROPERTY DEVELOPERS TO HOLD SWAY OVER ANY GOVERNMENT OR ITS AGENCIES AGAIN. The root cause of Corruption and Bribery in our beloved Malaysia. The only industry which I know how to do but did not do for a Life-time.

     CATCH THE CROOKS. CHARGE THEM IN COURT.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

248. Tun

     With the feel good feeling of living in a wonderful country which is our beloved Malaysia and its wonderful collection of flora and fauna and the diversity of her peoples, I woke up feeling great, exceedingly happy and satisfied.

     Like you when we were young we realised the frailties of Humankind. The fables and foibles to come and to face in our future endeavours. The pitfalls and the successes.

     I was faced with a comatose 12 year old Malay boy from Ksmpong Baru who was a diabetic with collapsed fine veins. What to do ? My teachers never permitted me to handle the subjects of discussion physically or manually especially in an evasive manner because of stringent legal governance. There was I with my first patient seeking my assistance at mid-night. I could feel cold sweat pouring down my face with my boss peering over my shoulders. Collapsed fine veins of a 12 year old boy ? And the only way he could wake up is to introduce a drip as soon as possible. This took one hour with my shaking hands and focussed brain. He woke up. His doting mother smiled. My consultant a Dr Hardy ex British Army smiled. I quickly went home to sleep. A wonderful episode for me in our beloved Malaysia. But we move on to greater things, this morning Tun !

     An excellent headline for the media today would be, ‘ Tun M will publish his 3 Magnus Opus, ‘ MALAY DILEMMA 2 ‘ and ‘ MY WAY ‘ and his collection of ‘ COMMENTARIES OF CHEDET ‘ at the earliest opportunity. These 3 tomes will be the World’s best-sellers translated into Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, French and German. Monumental works for all time from a humble doctor with brilliance and courage who saved a dying Nation from crooks which is our beloved Malaysia.

     What a wonderful legacy for the generations of Malaysians to come !

     I remember calling upon you on 10th August, 2010 at the height of the abusive and insulting attacks with the finest quality vitriol by the naysayers, with your first Magnus Opus in my hands, two pristine and unopened copies of ‘ Malay Dilemma ‘ which I bought at Donald Moore’s, Singapore for S$ 7.50, to be autographed by you. You asked me, ‘ Did you read it ?’ My honest reply was, ‘ I did not ‘. I noticed you were taken aback somewhat. I went on to explain that I did not read it because I did not want my mind to be clouded by emotions so that I could make proper judgements and decisions. And then you asked me where I came from. I answered that I came from that big house down the road. Of course, I was aware that you knew everything about me otherwise I would not be sitting across the large desk in front of me.

     Such is Life.

     The power of the brain which generates the dynamism of our Life-long behaviour with constant use in the right manner will secrete the wonderful as yet unknown hormones produced by it. The more we use our brains the more activities we will achieve. And we can only do these if we are born good, not bad.

     I have spent a Life-long attempt at trying to persuade bad fellows to be good. I gave up. As my wife tells me it takes just one minute to be bad after a Life-time of goodness. Hence, the massive ‘ MAGPIE SYNDROME ‘ as diagnosed by the psychiatrists ! Hence, the RM 113 Million cash, 500 handbags, 400 watches, Lindt chocolates etc in a house. Maybe 10,000 Rolex watches elsewhere.

     And all these began in 1986 from a little boutique at Raffles Hotel, Singapore owned by a petite Indonesian lady now wanted by the PDRM. It[s a small World, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. The more books published by Malaysians the better for the World around us !

     And to top off this ultimate period of craziness by the topmost rung of Leadership in the kingdom, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018, we note that the salaries for the incumbents of the GLCs which may be as many as 1,000 ranging from RM 2 Million to RM 100 Million for a fellow with just a Dr in front of his name.

     I know much about the hospital industry as I was invited to be a Founder of both the Pantai Hospital and the Johor Baru Private Hospital in the 1970s and the 1980s.

     It is absolutely crazy to pay so much for ordinary executives who did not bring out a single sen or contribute an idea to seat on top of multi-million ringgits companies the GLCs, not through their own efforts. They should all be sacked and replaced with real professionals instead of fakes.

     I delivered Sime Darby to Malay interesst for only RM 23 Million by 1975 when the Malays did not have much financial firing power. My total fees before tax was RM 500,000 for 18 years. Now the Executives raked in RM 500,000 per month. For 18 years, there were no scandals. The Sime Darby Executive Management whom I created their jobs, sacked me in 1992 so that they could bankrupt the company twice at RM 1.20 Billion in 1996 and RM 2.10 Billion in 2010 by the same Executive Management. No one was charged. No one was jailed even though the same Executives bankrupted Sime Darby twice !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     Some one, some where would surely write a book on the Corruption in Malaysia.

     There was another corruption within the borders of DBKL. It was purported more than 18 pieces of prime Kuala Lumpur land belonging to the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government were transferred into private ownerships for nominal sums.

     Every piece of Government owned greenery was walloped to build mega high rise buildings. Even the vacant land reserved for a surau next to Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas, just 599 metres from the new Istana was walloped to build a motorcar showroom. There was a mid-night rush to complete the job before 9th May 2018. The BN lost. The useless project now lies abandoned. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Every piece of greenery left in Kuala Lumpur were earmarked to have a mega building. The banks are culpable too in collusion with the crooks. The old dental and nursing school also ended up in s private pocket.

     How low can you go Jho Low ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. A GDP of 5% is possible in 2019 !

251. Tun

     My factual comments on the Corrupt Practices by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites 2004-2018 showed that THE RAKYAT BENEFITTED FROM NOTHING BETWEEN 2004-2018 BECAUSE THE CORRUPT BN GOVERNMENT DID NOTHING TO FURTHER THE PROGRESS OF THE RAKYAT. That’s for 14 years long. Far too long.

     Worst of all the countryside with its kampongs and new villages were abandoned and neglected due to the gigantic and corrupt projects in Kuala Lumpur and elsewhere. Our countryside is most important for the political and socio-economic well-being of our beloved Malaysia. No more. No less.

     If all those GDP figures produced by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government were true, then with the New and Incorruptible Government as led by Tun and DSAI and the Team by your side can easily achieve more than 5% from 2019 annually if no recession is in the offing.

     The amount of money RM 1 Trillion which were siphoned out between 2002-2010 as reported internationally and the RM 470 Billion purported to have gone the same route recently show the wealth that have been stolen on the one hand and the financial strength of our beloved Malaysia on the other.

     Our beloved Malaysia has been a haven for crooks of all kinds so far.

     With the return of NORMALCY, our beloved Malaysia will go places in the shortest possible time probably by the second half of 2019 !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

252. Tun

     The classic weather pattern concerning the early part of the year is with us again. The blue sky, the cumulus clouds and the warm breeze which comes with the flow.

     I was happy to note the resident bulbul has taken up permanent residence in the young banyan tree at my doorstep. But I was also glad to hear the beautiful call of the golden oriole so early in the morning. A lovely bird which is urbanised and love to flit from tree to tree in an urban garden. What a wonderful collection of Life in our beloved Malaysia where we can stop and ponder on Life and its meaning.

     But there are those amongst us whom we elected in the past 2004 to 2018 who spurned GLORY and SERVICE and sunk down to the lowest level of human behaviour despite their apparent impeccable background. Why they collectively behaved in such a shameful manner after being given the trust through democratic elections by the Rakyat is like a Chinaman’s mystery as an Englishman would say ?

     However, I have not seen any pundit who made an attempt to list the crazy behaviour of a crazy BN Leadership and its equally crazy Ministers and elites for the years 2004-2018

     1. The first priority of the new BN Government in 2004 was to rush to The Hague to claim Pulau Batu Putih. Of course, we lost since it takes two to tango ! SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST WERE FORGOTTEN. How could it be when it was alleged he was ex-NOC with the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak in the chair in 1970 ?

     2. A money losing MAS could purchase third rate works of art with the head honcho using its jets as a private jet to and fro-ing to London where money can buy whatever a person desires !

     3. A Government owned company was sold for a song without valuation.

     4. 1,000,000 barrels of oil was pried out of hard as nails Saddam Hussein by a nobody who got the top to sign without knowing what he signed as it was admitted. This appeared as bright as day in the UN Sanctions list and topping it too.

     5. A hard-core PAP cadre with a Sime Darby Apache contract in his pocket was graciously appointed as the Chief Editor of the true blue UMNO owned NSTP. Lee Kuan Yew must have laughed all the way from 38, Oxley Road to the Istana in his white Jaguar.

     6. This was the period when the phrase ‘Singaporeans looking for low hanging fruits’ was coined by themselves.

     7. Pre-puberty boys in short pants were installed on the 4th Floor of the PMO to facilitate the flow of the Rakyat’s goodies into private pockets. Man proposes. God disposes. A rock fell on the head of the think-tank in response to such brazen acts. Even God forbids !

     8. Perth became the HQ for Malaysian affairs and politics after golf.

     9. The equivalent of the stupid Fat BOY was created to up-root the whole of the venerable Penang Turf Club and turn it into a Malaysian Manhattan of New York, US of A !

     10. A mega building was built in the congested Bank Negara Malaysia area together with the most ugly building in the whole of Malaysia next to the Ministry of Agriculture. I thought all shifted to Putrajaya.

     11. The age-old 2/3rd majority was lost without any difficulty.

     12. Even before the appointment was confirmed, hundreds of millions of ringgits which turned into billions of ringgits were flowing into many private pockets by using the powers of the BN Government.

     13. A small-time Government official could amass RM 2 Billion in less than 10 years. The MCA Leader could amass only S$ 100 Million which he remitted to his girl friend’s account in Hong Hong via my friend in the mid-1980s from Singapore !

     14. A twenty something was given the blank cheque to the Government coffers. This crazy fellow would have completely ruined a good country and all its good Rakyat if the bankers did not have cold feet ! Only one greedy gnome took the risk and got hit.

     15. I have always said that a person is born good or born a crook. This stupid Fat Boy and his equally stupid father and mother are now wanted by the PDRM. The father was so stupid that he never thought what is the use of being ennobled when not too long afterwards, he and his Puan Sri wife would be on the run with their stupid son of a fat boy ? The laughable thing is the father was a small-time factory owner for a lifetime eking out a living in a small town along the highway between Taiping and Pulau Pinang. How craxy can one be to be dazzled by the paper money signed by the Gabenor of Bank Negara Malaysia ?

     Tun, these fellows never used their brains like you and born good like you ! To be on the run as ennobled thieves with the Rakyat’s money in this Age of Anti-terrorism in purported China, it is sheer crazy !

     16. Huge mega projects were built as high and as expensive as possible in Kuala Lumpur. A 100 storey building was projected at a time when private commercial buildings were suffering because the Federal Government shifted to Putrajaya. The rural folk were not benefitted like this but their savings held in trust by the Federal Government were stolen from them by the expediency of just a signature on paper !

     17. Carpetbaggers from Indonesia, the Gulf and China walloped the savings of the FELDA small-holders in more ways than one. In one case, it was alright to buy the shares of one carpetbagger at twice the market price USING THE SMALL-HOLDERS FELDA’S MONEY HELD IN TRUST with a buy-back option. How crazy can one get ? No sane Government in the World does business like this !

     18. A flunkey could create THREE CORPORATE GIGANTIC RESTRUCTURING SCHEMES TO LINE HIS OWN POCKET TOGETHER WITH A CROOKED CHINAMAN !

     i) To grab a distinguished Chines Bank with threats and insults in conjunction with the Chinaman openly.

     ii) To amalgamate all the GLCs plantations within Sime Darby the veritable ATM for crooks. And after a short time, with great costs, these plantations were separated again at great costs. An exercise not only in futility but corrupt practice which the late distinguished Gabenor Tun Ismail Mohd.Ali would have said. ‘IT STINKS !’

     iii) FELDA was well-managed since its inception by Tan Sri Taib Andak and Raja Tan Sri Muhd. Alias until the crooks came along and turn it into a public listed company which in principle should not have taken place because as events showed later that tons of money went to benefit Indonesian carpetbaggers and the corrupt BN Leaders. This FELDA money and assets are the result of the vision of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and his loyal and honest team which never wavered from honesty to crookedness. This FELDA was once the pride of our beloved Malaysia. Due to unmitigated greed, FELDA became a symbol of great shame !

     19. RM 113 Million cash, 500 handbags, 400 watches, 12,000 pieces of jewellery and Lindt chocolates were found in a BN leader’s house sited just a kilometre or two from poverty. Maybe another 10,000 Rolex watches were hidden elsewhere. The psychiatrists call this THE MAGPIE SYNDROME !

     20. A highway would have been a better project than the costly and padded ECRL.

     21. The KTM with hundreds of acres of precious Singaporean land and 25 miles of steel rail ended up as 1/2 an office building in Singapore. That was at the height of a red-hot relationship in private retreats.

     22. The HSR is to be built 99% on Malaysian soil with 99% of its costs paid by Malaysia to service Singapore. Singapore will convert the dirt-cheap Jurong Golf Club into the most modern commercial complex ever for the terminus ! Are we Malaysians eternally stupid ?

     23 The TPPA/CPTPP is a classic case of treason without a notion of Sovereignty and National Interest. Senior Civil Servants in open conflict of interests with Singaporean spouses pushed Singapore’s agenda all over the media. There were 19 ultra secret meetings before exposure. Even the Head of the SMEs was in support who was duly ennobled. The TPPA/CPTPP is a Malaysia/Malays Killer of the First Order created insidiously by Lee Kuan Yew as his ultimate legacy for this inheritors – the Nirvana Tariff Free Malaysia to be enslaved by Singapore through legal means of 50 volumes Agreement to catch the lackadaisical Malaysians. He even set up an International Arbitration Tribunal in 2005 in anticipation of Malaysian business ! The corrupt and uncaring BN Government signed this SELF-KILLING OR HARA-KIRI document in good faith and trust in Singapore which had already taken more than the rocks and was receiving free water paid for by Malaysia due to the ringgit’s depreciation ! How stupid can one gets ?
     The Singapore Business Times boasted after Malaysia signed the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP that SINGAPORE WOULD SAVE AT LEAST S$ 1 BILLION ANNUALLY FROM THE TPPA ! Malaysia WHICH LOSES AT LEAST S$ 1 BILLION ANNUALLY. Just look at Brexit today – the difficulty and injustice of getting a fair deal.

     24. WHICH COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CONDUCTS RED HOT RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH PRIVATE RETREATS BY ITS LEADER WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY ? This means Bribery and Corruption to all !

     25. Let the New and Incorruptible Government reveal the number of POTEMKIN AGENCIES OR DEPARTMENTS WHICH HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED 2004-2018. There is the super-intelligence outfit headed by our beloved Malaysia’s most beautiful spy 004 specially hand-picked to do the job with her golden pearl handle Walther PPK ! She had sticky fingers which were attracted by US$ 50 Million and loved Gucci spectacles.

     26. Even at the very last moment a rich Chinese was involved in a RM 88 Million Speedy Gonzales corrupt caper. This showed Corruption was all over in the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its equally corrupt elites.

     27. The 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and their 200,000 other bankrupts were misled by a fake attachment to the Bankruptcy Act 1967. It was alleged the Minister was influenced by financial interests WHICH DARE NOT DO THIS IN BRITAIN, SINGAPORE, HONG KONG AND AUSTRALIA. A very weak and corrupt BN Government.

     28. The unemployed 200,000 graduates were forgotten with so many billions and billions of ringgits ringing in the ears of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership.

     29. The Minister of Tourism became the Minister for Tourism and went touring the lovely countries of the Southern Antipodes which have 1,000 kangaroos and sheep to one human being. Not only that, the Minister for Touring sponsored London’s tourism not Malaysia’s with an expensive orchid exhibit at the upper-class Royal Chelsea Flower Show and pocketed the Gold Medal awarded to Malaysia by the Queen !

     30. When the Minister of Transport was asked why the MH17 was over Ukraine at a time of War. He adroitly replied, ‘ NO ONE ASK US NOT TO GO THERE !’ But 200 valuable lives were lost. What say you Tun ? Lack of common sense or what ?

     31. Miscellaneous. This word can best describe the wholesale thievery of the Rakyats money and assets held in trust by those whom they elected in trust. What a shameful episode of our honourable Malaysian History by those who swore to serve the Constitution, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the Royal Sultans and the Rakyat !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

253. Tun

     Daulat Tuanku !

     The finest words as said in the land, our beloved Malaysia. With these magnificent and ringing words we all hail the ascension of our new King, the 16th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia befitting a unique and sacred traditional of Malaysia from centuries ago.

     Thanks to the Royal Sultans and the Rakyat we have our revered Constitution and its Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias which give us PEACE, HARMONEY AND PROSPERITY FOR ALL. What more do we want ?

     Together we have thrown out the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupt elites lock stock and barrel ! We now have a New and Incorruptible Government as led by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     Our beloved Malaysia is now one of four most important countries in the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     Malaysia is fast trekking upwards towards the greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. Huge funds will pour into Malaysia in time when our Cabinet gets out of its ” L ” licence to drive or govern. No problem. What more do we want ?

     Where are you little brother ?

     Yesterday’s headline, ‘ Foreign fund moving back to Bursa.’ To me funds like these are Singapore’s the gateway to equity funds for Malaysia. It is the only country in the World which knows Malaysia like the palms of their hands. So this is a good sign for us all. A good sign for the good times.

     And with a FM who is experienced in keeping a good set of books with NORMALCY, WHAT MORE DO WE WANT ?

     We certainly do not want a FM who opened the doors of the Khazanah to very hungry PAP Singaporeans or wallop 1,000,000 barrels of oil from Saddam Hussein or treated the Khazanah as his savings bank for household expenses like Lindt chocolates, 500 handbags, 400 watches, 12,000 pieces of jewellery and RM 113 Million cash in the house or maybe 10,000 Rolex watches elsewhere.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Keep smiling Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah, The whole World will smile with you. And out-do the smiling recalcitrant always !

     It is remarkable that the tiny Republic of Singapore still harks back on their deja vu of the 20th Century – the bygone days of Lee Kuan Yew trying not only to do down our beloved Malaysia with clever words but also if given the opportunity steal from us by bribing our flunkeys of no consequence.

     A recent incident was the Oxford Union plant by Singapore to ask questions of no consequence and then blew it up through the social media.

     These inheritors of Lee Kuan Yew are forever missing the mark by their small-mindedness in relying on the academic zombies from the Ivy League or Oxbridge. One generation of these ivory tower products has already failed in pursuit of their intended purpose which was to provide new innovative ideas concomitant with the leadership status placed on them. This failure ended up with at least 50 paper generals and highly paid Ministers in a tiny tropical isle which lost not only its US Democratic mojo after the US 2016 General Elections but also its life-saving Black Under-counter Trades in arms, sanctions breaking, etc to the BRICS since 1990.

     This loss was huge and amounted to 2-3% of the GDP as it is now could be established. With this loss, the core GDP could not breach the 3% GDP from 2002-2017, a period of 15 years. Not only that, it was never an easy trading World from 2002 to 2019.

     Singapore lost officially US$ 108 Billion on Wall Street in October 2008 coupled with a lukewarm GDP. The purported military, constant inflationary pressures, the lack of trading opportunities due to rivals like Hong Kong, the mediocre leadership and last but not least, the credits and goodwill which Lee Kuan Yew garnered from the super-powers are completely forgotten for over 25 years ! This is a loss of billions of US Dollar opportunities.

     Since the loss of the Black Under counter trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 to the BRICS, Singapore has not produced a single successful white rabbit out of the proverbial hat. This should be worrying to the leadership.

     Hence, the constant attempts to create our beloved Malaysia as the bogeyman to distract the citizens from the looming problems and enhance the mediocre efforts of the leadership.

     THIS FOCUS ON MALAYSIA AS SINGAPORE’S BOGEYMAN IS NOT ONLY A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION BUT A NON-STARTER AGAINST A SUPERIOR FORCE. A lot of Singapore’s money has been LOST because of this faulty Adventurism Policy of Lee Kuan Yew which is now turned alive and kicking by his inheritors – the constant meaningless sniping via the social media.

     This sort of tactics in support of a strategy will only drive Singapore into more and more problems because the immediate problems are not addressed which is the FAILURE OF ALL FOUR OF LEE KUAN YEW’S INITIATIVES TO SAVE SINGAPORE FOR HIS INHERITORS. These failed. What now ?

     The famous four initiatives which failed miserably are 1) The Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP. ii) FTs imports. iii) 3 casinos iv) the ill-conceived Temasek.

     However, the greatest initiative which could have been the investment in GOLD to control all including Malaysia, was missed by Lee Kuan Yew. Man proposes. God disposes.

     This opportunity is now gone forever and ever. It pays to be humble and consider all options.

     OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S GREATEST WEAPON IS’ MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES’. Who can beat this ? Not even Lee Kuan Yew as is now proven !

     The best weapon for us is ‘MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES ! From 1966 to 2019, this weapon to protect ourselves against Singapore is the best of all as history revealed.

     Singapore takes all the little marbles. Our beloved Malaysia takes the big picture like MALAYSIA IS NOW ONE OF FOUR IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, JAPAN, SWITZERLAND AND MALAYSIA. Where are you Singapore ? Boasting about your 1 Km wide choke-point when in fact Malaysia has TWO choke points, each 500 Km away ! Vide. Manubani comment.2017.

     Malaysia Boleh as always Tun ! No problem. Man proposes. God disposes. We are Malaysians.

255. Tun

     The World today is a World of leisure and life-style for the rising middle-income groups of emerging Nations. Countries like India and China are right in the fore-front for these seekers of pleasure and relaxation which are available to them as their incomes go up the value-chain.

     The Star headline, ‘ FEWER CHINA TOURISTS COMING.’

     Singapore which has nothing in terms of natural resources, developed its tourism industry very early on in the 1970s. The sister-in-law of Lee Kuan Yew was appointed the Chairman of the Tourism Board until she retired. The Board’s efforts were to build up the image of Singapore to areas which were unable to be reached by the travel agents, the infra-structures and the welcoming cultural groups for in coming tourists at the beginning. As its tourism industry matured, the Tourism Board focussed on other greenfield areas. There were no scandals or their Managers got sacked like in Malaysia because the handling of money was not the purview of the Singapore Tourism Board unlike in Malaysia.

     Malaysia should focus on India, China and the Middle East. (And close all the overseas tourist offices in the West). Tourists from these densely populated countries provide a good source of revenue to both the Government and the private sector.

     A few years ago, tourists from the Middle East were commonly seen in Malaysia during the summer months. I have noticed bus-loads of Indian tourist too.

     Many negative factors must have caused the fall in the arrival of the Chinese tourists. In this matter, the highest ranking officials of the Malaysian Ministry of Tourism should keep tabs with their counterparts so that Malaysia can serve all tourists best.

     It was surprising to note the Tourism Board could sign a contract with a Chinese agency to bring-in tourists. This is not the way to go about it. There must be rapport with the top authorities in China to increase the numbers because of the political nature of the place and its vast land. Practically, each Chinese city is a gold-mine of tourists for Malaysia.

     Yet, I have noticed the Minister and the Ministry of Tourism is rather quiet these days. This Ministry is one of the most important in the Government because if it is properly organised and motivated with the right focus, it can bring in huge revenues for the Government.

     Unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites, the Minister of Tourism was the Minister for Tourism who was confirmed by her love of luxury living in clean developed countries like London where she supported the upper-class Royal Chelsea Show with Malaysian Government money and she took her family in tow to the Southern Antipodes where the kangaroos and the sheep out-number the humans 1000 to 1. !

     To have a successful tourism industry, the Government should provide the best infrastructures and give incentives to the travel agents.

     THE TORUSIM INDUSTRY CAN ONLY BE SUCCESSFUL IF THE TOURIST AGENCIES MAKE MONEY. For the Government, the expenditures to bolster the tourism industry should be its only concern. Leave the money-making to the travel agents.

     Malaysia is one of the best holiday resorts in the World. Pulau Pinang should be preserved from an eco-environment stand point and should not be turned into a concrete island like Singapore or Hong Kong. We have plenty of land and there is no necessity to turn Pulau Pinang into a self-sustaining State like Singapore. The more concrete is poured in the island, the greater the environmental disaster.

     It is good for the Minister of Tourism to see how Japan and Switzerland preserve their environment and their farmers who form the nub of their green culture.

     And before we forget, after World War II, both Germany, and Japan were completely flattened by carpet bombing Together with Italy, these countries focused on tourism to make them rise again. There were no other alternatives but tourism. And each tourist then were treated very well as someone special. Hopefully, our beloved Malaysia will treat her tourists well because each ASEAN country is going for the same piece of cake.

     Can anyone imagine that the Germans were sullenly cycling to work at 6 a.m. in the mid-1950s ? And now Germany is one of the topmost industrial countries of the World. Germany, Japan and Italy were re-built through their efforts in promoting tourism in their darkest hour. None of their Ministers of Tourism ever travelled abroad like Malaysia’s Ministers of Tourism. This is the difference between responsibility and gross negligence which was typical of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its corrupt elites 2004-2018.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     The North-East Monsoon seemed to have gone until the end of the year. The climate is now hot and breezy typical of what we all know in the early part of every New Year. And we Malaysians all look forward to the Chinese New Year with great expectations and to be followed by Hari Raya in the mid-year. Great festivals of great people. And then the Deepavali to come which is a great festival in India.

     These clouded my thoughts this morning as I heard the resident bulbul was still around. But the World never sleeps and humankind never fail to create the unexpected thus :-

     The Star, ‘ UNNECESSARY DEATHS, ‘ This is a Report on the rise of measles in Malaysia which has brought suffering to the Rakyat not only in the towns but the kampongs and new villages as well. The figures quoted : A. The number of measles cases in 2013 – 195 ; 2018 – 1934
     B. Measles without immunization in 2013 – 125 ; 2018 – 1467

     What do these figures reveal to us ?

     This showed the terrible lack of due care and attention to the lowest rung of our Society by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupt elites who squandered the Rakyat’s money away on wasteful and corrupt projects and practices. Instead, this precious money should have been spent on the health and medi-care of all Rakyat, rich and poor.

     Measles attack the lowest rung of the Society more frequently because of the unhygienic and humid conditions of their dwellings. Ignorance as to the deadly effects of measles also play a part.

     With all the money stolen by the BN Leaders and their corrupt elites, there was no money to provide proper health care services to the poor by way of education and medi-services.

     For example, many years ago I met a lady who was a silver-smith in Melaka. She produced her grand-daughter, a baby of a few months old who was completely blind due to measles affecting the mother in the first few months of her pregnancy. The good lady asked me what to do ? What more can I say under such circumstance ? With the full knowledge that there was a missing link in the pre-natal care of the mother and newly conceived baby.

     The prevention of measles is easily implemented. Yet, the Government failed to provide the basic necessities at the lowest level to all the Rakyat. It was just a simple jab when the students were at school like the prevention of polio similarly.

     Education is the foremost prevention tool for all.

     The neglect of the medical condition of the poor Rakyat and all by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupt elites 2004-2018, is exactly like how the BN Minister of Law misled the over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and another 200,000 bankrupts who were all treated as stupid. And the massive BN failure to provide jobs for 200,000 graduates during the same period.

     What a degradation of trust in a Government, the BN Government of over 60 years standing.

     It is a shame of the First Order in which MONEY MONEY MONEY filled the BN Leaderships minds and nothing more whilst enjoying and stealing the money belonging to the poor Rakyat who depended on these crooks not only for their living but also their general well-being as Leaders.

     But the poor Rakyat and all were totally let down not only inside our beloved Malaysia but throughout the World in which all were impressed previously by the pristine reputation of our beloved Malaysia which is now tarnished by the unfathomable greed of its corrupt BN Leaders 2004-2018.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

257. Tun

     There was an article in the Financial Review about the construction of a building in Medan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur by a contractor without paying for the Government owned land. There was no approval or objection from the DBKL.

     How could such a gross breach of the Laws and regulations governing Government owned lands occurred right in the Federal Capital ?

     This is worst than darkest Africa because our beloved Malaysia is known to be one of the advance emerging countries of the World. And here we have this monstrosity of a building built by a contractor on Government land which did not belong to him or did he pay for it.

     What was happening with the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership and its elites. ?

     The Corruption and Abuse of Powers were so great between 2004-2018 that the Rakyat suffered for their trust in the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupted elites.

     All those who connived to cheat the Rakyat openly or furtively should be be caught and charged in Court as soon as possible.

     Malaysian Boleh Tun as always ! No problem

     What better comment today but your comment succinctly put, ” Singapore over-react.”

     It is strange that a squeaky clean country could find itself incompatible with an equally squeaky clean New and Incorruptible Government of Malaysia, a Government by the old and the young, the good and the great.

     By all accounts, the Government of the Republic of Singapore should applaud with both hands that their geographic Gemini Twin is now somewhat similar to them in biological terms. Howzat for starters ?

     But lo and behold, it seems strange that the Malaysian good guys are not compatible with the Singaporean good guys. Then, what ?

     What the whole World knows pre-9 May 2018 was that Singapore and Malaysia were like abang-adeks, 5-eyes meetings, into very private retreats and red-hot relationships ( all BS from the Singapore media ) going into deals which only benefitted Singapore like (i) the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP, (ii) the HSR 99% cost on sacred Malaysian soil and 100% gain for Singapore by converting the Jurong Golf Club into a super World Class shopping complex, (iii) the KTM with hundreds of acres of land and 25 miles of steel rail ended up as HALF an office building belonging to our beloved Malaysia.

     Our Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupted elites were so grateful to give all these away free because these were proposed by Singapore so these must be good for our beloved Malaysia like the super-corrupt GLCs ! The BN Leaders certainly do not require a rocket scientist for Singapore to assist them with their maths ! It was so simple, lah !

     And Singapore in return gave the BN Leadership LOVE AND KISSES IN BIG DOLLOPS !

     Thank you very much Singapore for appreciating the goodies from the poor Rakyat of our beloved Malaysia ! You see all these free goodies do not belong to the BN Leaders personally but the poor Rakyat.

     Tun, that was the corrupt background of a corrupt relationship which led to corrupt gifts to Singapore given by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupt elites. No more. No less.

     If all things considered within the context of Sovereignty and National Interest what the BN Government committed with Singapore, WAS TREASONOUS IN EVERY CASE IN WHICH PERSONAL INTERESTS OVERODE SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST !

     The above mentioned facts should explain why the Singaporean Leadership now put on their helmets and uniforms, all the 50 paper generals and go to WAR-WAR with Malaysia in their WAR_GAMES UNDERGROUND ROOM LIKE WINSTON CHURCHILL !

     The reason is the Malaysian New and Incorruptible Government will be as hard as nails within the context of the Rule of the Laws when dealing with anyone NOT ONLY WITH SINGAPORE with the context of Sovereignty and National Interest. No more funny letters signed by some sleepy flunkey way back in 1962 ! Those easy days for Singapore are gone forever.

     And how strong is Singapore in terms of everything ? Very weak. The tropical isle of a one-street town is just like a Gilbert & Sullivan farce – all front and no substance behind ( backside ).

     Singapore is now so socio-economically weak since she lost her PROFITABLE BLACK UNDER-COUNTER TRADES OF ARMS, SANCTIONS BREAKING ETC OF THE COLD WAR (1948-1989)TO THE BRICS SINCE 1990 THAT SHE CAN ONLY TRY TO FRIGHTEN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA MASQUERADING LIKE A PAPER SINGA LION by picking on non-issues like going to War when our good MB of Johor in holiday mood, cruised in his little wooden boat to ‘makan-angin’ in Johor waters.

     How many Malaysians know that the NS Singaporeans are put on alert daily for decades in anticipation of some sneaky attack by our beloved Malaysia ? And yet the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership and its elites were on kissing terms with them.

     Yes Tun ! THE FAILURE FOR THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMNET AND ITS ELITES TO DELIVER SINGAPORE’S NIRVANA & MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER THE TPPA?CPPTP TO SINGAPORE HAS BROUGHT ABOUT THIS STRANGE BEHAVIOUR OF THOSE FOLKS DOWN SOUTH OF THE BORDER. Imagine to be a Leader in a small island which has NOTHING BUT ONLY 900,000 MALE CHINESE AGED 21-50 and BLUFFOLOGY OR BS ! How to govern for the FUTURE ?

     And under the constant stress of the watchful eyes of BIG BROTHERS like when Singapore appeased the United States on the South China Sea issue in October 2016, China smacked them so hard that by July 2017, the key Singapore Cabinet members eagerly lined up in Beijing with outstretched hands to shake the revered hand of President Xi Jin-ping ! The picture sucks ! Now the very same make WAR noise on a non-issue of little wooden boats wafting in International Waters. And these very same forgot to utilize LEE KUAN YEW’S CREDITS AND GOODWILL WITH THE SUPER-POWERS FOR OVER 25 YEARS TO BENEFIT SINGAPORE ! Believe it or not !

     Dear Sirs, do not blame our beloved Malaysia for Singapore Leadership’s OUTRIGHT INCOMPETENCY IN VISION, INNOVATION AND CREATION.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. With NORMALCY, our beloved Malaysia is now trekking fast upwards as due to us Malaysians.

     AND OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAS THE BEST WEAPON IN THE WORLD – Man proposes. God disposes. No problem

259. Tun

     In recent days the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the new, the good and the great has announced the amendment of 6 Laws thus

     1. Sedition Act 1948
     2. Prevention of Crime Act 1959
     3. Prevention of Terrorism Act 2015
     4. Printing Presses & Publications Act 1984
     5. Security Offences Act 2012
     6. Peaceful Assembly Act 2012

     It maybe pointed out that these Laws pertained to the Security of our beloved Malaysia to maintain peace and harmony. And these are only implemented when the need arises. These Laws are meant to be applied on a small group of troublemakers or individuals who are as yet unidentified.

     However there are Laws of Malaysia which have been unrevised since their inception or amended in a perfunctory fashion like the Bankruptcy Act 1967.

     The careless Minister did not revise the Bankruptcy Act 1967 at all but attached an amendment which only applied to bankrupts beginning or after October 2016.

     The unrevised old Bankrupt Act 1967 covered the 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and another 200,000 Malay and non-Malay bankrupts independently.

     What an Act of sheer INEQUALITY created by an ignorant BN Minister !

     This person was famed for proposing turning the RRI Research Station at Welwyn Garden City, England by spending RM 350 Million into a sports facility for Malaysian athletes. These athletes would have to fly 7,000 miles each way to train in a cold and unfamiliar climate. Not only that, the expense to fly hundreds of athletes was no factored in. So were the logistics like catering etc.

     With the so-called non-amendment of the Bankruptcy Act 1967, this ignorant Minister had created TWO BANKRUPTCY ACTS, ONE OLD, ONE NEW. RUNNING PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER.

     This person also misled the 200,000 young Malay bankrupts together with their non-Malay counterpart before the 14th GE.

     How could such an ineffective BN Minister got away with dire neglect of formal duties in 2016 ?

     The 2016 Amendment should cover ALL BANKRUPTS and not non-existing Bankrupts of the future.

     The Bankrupt Act of Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia is not only revised up-to-date because it is a Law used daily but also fair and just UNLIKE THE TWO SETS OF MALAYSIAN BANKRUPTCY ACTS 1987 AND 2016 WHICH RUN PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER. This is the ultimate disgrace to the regime of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites, 2004-2018.

     The other Act is the Trustees Act 1949 which was never amended by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites 2004-2018.

     The Trustees Act 1949 is a very important Act which is commonly used by the financial World, the middle-income group and other important sectors.

     Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia revised this Trustees Act up to date unlike Malaysia which forgot to revise its ESSENTIAL LAWS for decades. This I do not understand in a country which relies on Laws to keep peace harmony and security.

     Without proper and up-to-date Laws our beloved Malaysia will be forever mired in all sorts of issues which cost TIME AND MONEY. A good set of Laws will attract good investors, not the fly by night foreign types which were many in previous years.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! The problem is the Governments seemed to forget about REVISING THE ESSENTIAL COMMERCIAL LAWS LIKE THE BANKRUPTCY ACT 1967, THE TRUSTEES ACT 1949 AND THE COMPANIES ACT 1965 to bring them up-to-date unlike Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia.

     As it is commonly said,’ IN MEDICINE, COMMON AILMENTS OCCUR COMMONLY. BUT IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION, EACH CASE IS NEW AND LIVING.’ In other words, it is difficult to be a doctor. But medicine is easier to practice unlike the legal profession which is easier to be a lawyer but difficult to practice in which every case is different and living.

     Congratulations on your significant speech at the Oxford Union last night.

     With all due respect, no one in the country thinks out affairs of State like you, Tun !

     All the salient points which you constantly presented through the years were there. It is good there were no variations to the theme of equality in the name of Humanity for all. In time the hypocrisy of the West and its democracy will be shown by historians as being self-serving.

     How could the West justify their brand of Democracy by death and destruction on countries with settled communities for hundreds if not thousands of years. This created the back-lash to their countries known as migration. This in turn started the fires of populism and extremism without fail.

     It is obvious the think-tanks of the West did not consider the migration option when they decided on air-strikes to unseat a dictatorial Regime. Migration from all the nearby countries is the ultimate result. Forcing innocent people who lived in their un-disturbed abodes for centuries. Given the choice who wants to leave an ancestral home ?

     Not only that, the hatred so engendered is now carried right into the heart of the West by the thousands. Ihis is the most intractable problem ever created by absolute power. The whole scenario has yet to pan out not in years but in the centuries to come. The diaspora of the Arab and African peoples by the wanton Polices of the West. Policies which have created problems without an end.

     Hence, our beloved Malaysia should build-up not only her financial resources but also her moral reserves to sustain and maintain our style of Malaysian Democracy because when a crisis comes, no one is going to look after us.

     Our naïve and corrupt Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership without thought, signed the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP without due consideration. Let our future Governments be not like this disgraceful episode in our history.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No Problem.

261. Tun

     Today it was reported that the DPM of the Republic of Singapore said in Parliament to all its border agencies to exercise restraint when dealing with Malaysian maritime intrusions with little boats.

     On our side of the border, some one complained why the Prime Minister, the DPM, the Foreign Minister and the Defence Minister were silent on this ‘bullying’ of the Johor MB by Singapore.

     The silent attitude of the top Leadership is correct. The whole matter concerning the maritime territorial border is a non-issue and a non-starter from the beginning of time.

     How many Malaysians remember that it was only in 1971 or thereabouts, restricted passports were required for Causeway travel ?

     How many Malaysians know that at festive holidays especially around Christmas the gates of the Malaysian Immigration at the Causeway were wide open for Singaporeans to rush home without checks until the turn of the 21st Century ? One felon got away like this. This was a fact.

     And our pundits today are aware that with a slowing economy in Singapore and no new white rabbits to be produced from the proverbial hat, the Singapore Leadership will resort to its old punching bag our beloved Malaysia to gain kudos with the hoi-polloi of Singapore to obviate an unsatisfactory result at the polls like two GEs ago when only 60 per cent was in favour of the incumbent PAP.

     And now the real fear that like something might happened unexpectedly like what was gained on 9 May 2918 by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI and the Team by his side.

     The problem with the Singapore Leadership is the lack of understanding of how our beloved Malaysia works. The Singaporean businessmen fitted in like a glove.

     As I have said before in China, India, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong etc, there is only one door to enter. But in our beloved Malaysia, there were 10 doors. And when a door is opened, there will be a friendly Malaysian behind who will say ‘No problem’. This is where the problem began. The task is to find the right door. With the New and Incorruptible Government, there should now be only one door like the rest.

     A real life-example was how Singapore thought they had the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership in its pocket. Lee Kuan Yew was so cock-sure with Obama’s TPPA OK in his pocket when he visited our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his office on his way to the airport with tongue in the cheek.

     The Singaporean elites really felt it when the years of strenuous efforts just collapsed on 9 May 2018.

     Not only that the other legs of the 4 legged stool also collapsed concomitantly during the period 2006-2018 being the ill-conceived Temasek, the FTs importation to boost the GDP – this was like pushing the GDP with a string and the 2 casinos. All these were not properly thought out adventures as led by Lee Kuan Yew.

     And he forgot about the traditional POWER of GOLD through the Ages in the 1980s with so much black cash rolling in. This was an unforgivable oversight by an apparent renowned Leader.

     Malaysia nearly got into trouble if he had not succumbed to Western diktats and flatteries by the gnomes of Zurich but to THINK ALL THE TIME LIKE OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD.

     Unfortunately, Singapore had a person who thought of his 1947 glory at Cambridge ALL THE TIME and missed enslaving our beloved Malaysia by just a stroke of the pen or phone call at a time when Singapore was drowning in riches from the largesse of the Black Under Counter Trades in arms during the Cold War 1948 – 1989.

     As a Singaporean billionaire once told me,’ Opportunity is like a horse with 4 legs. When it comes, jump on it because we have only 2 legs. You can never chase after it. If we miss it, we miss it forever !’ This was one of the best advice given to me by my Singaporean friends when I was young and care-free.

     See how Singapore missed investing in GOLD at not more than US$ 300 per ounce up to 4,000 tons ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Malaysia escaped TWICE by the skin of her teeth from the best that LEE KUAN YEW COULD PRODUCE. We are humble Malaysians but we have something even better………….Man proposes. God disposes !

262. Tun

     As I write this morning, it is still dark outside the house, The bulbuls are still asleep in the comfort of the young banyan by the roadside. It is the classical scenario of peace and harmony in a once very happy land but not so happy now due to the Rape of our beloved Malaysia by the Singapore Puppet and Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites 2004-2018.

     I am up a wee bit early this morning due to the fact that a most significant debate concerning Brexit in the Mother of all Parliaments, the House of Commons, occurred this morning. The British Government led by Prime Minister Theresa May lost by the greatest margin since 1921 by 202 votes.

     This immediately harks back to the signing of the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP Agreement which the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government signed but not ratified. Man proposes. God disposes.

     The political mess which Britain got herself enmeshed today was due to the fact that she joined the EU due to the stupidity of her Labour Government Leadership, the gnomes of Zurich, the US and GREED. It was absolutely wrong for Britain to join the EU without careful thought that eventually ALL her laws would be dictated by the EU Parliament. Importantly, Britain fought so many wars on the Continent that no one on both sides of the Channel could forget this historical baggage.

     It was wrong for Britain to join. It is wrong for her to leave. What a mess. Two wrongs do not make a right.

     Similarly, our beloved Malaysia was betrayed by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership and its elites, the Senior Civil Servants traitors and GREED.

     If the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP had been ratified, our beloved Malaysia would have been enmeshed in 50 volumes of Agreement designed by Lee Kuan Yew to lock Malaysia as a political and economic SLAVE forever.

     In 2005, he even set up the International Arbitration Tribunal in anticipation of the Malaysians who are careless about the Devil in the details in the 50 volumes Agreement. And with treacherous senior Malaysian Civil Servants, it was a cinch to get ALL what was wanted by Lee Kuan Yew inserted in the 50 volumes in his favour. It was that close.

     In June 2009, Lee Kuan Yew at the age of 85 visited his cohorts and digits in the hot and humid Ulus to exhort support for his Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP. He even had tea with a lady off Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur ! He was that good but not good enough with us humble Malaysians.

     If ratified, Malaysia’s position within the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP would have been much worse than Britain’s position with the Brexit – like the song, ‘ Hotel California ‘.

     BUT IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S CASE : MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     Malaysia had our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI and the Team to save us the Rakyat and ousted the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its corrupt elites.

     THE FAILURE OF CAPTURING OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS A POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SLAVE BY LEE KUAN YEW’S SINGAPORE BY A WHISKER IS THE RESULT OF ALL THE HAIR TEARING AND CHEST BEATING BY ITS LEADERSHIP AND ELITES THIS VERY DAY.

     When a person does something, there must be a cogent reason for doing so unless that person is mad.

     As I constantly mentioned that Singapore’s obsession with down-sizing our beloved Malaysia was a sheer waste of time and money. And at the end of the day, this is proved to be correct.

     As a result, Singapore spent its entire existence trying to capture the pie in the sky which is Malaysia as its captive slave INSTEAD OF LOOKING OUT INTO THE WORLD BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON.

     And sadly, the Leadership and its elites which now proved to be like lemmings a’la Lee Kuan Yew’ quotations, FORGOT ABOUT LEE KUAN YEW’S CREDITS AND GOODWILL WITH THE WORLD’S SUPER-POWERS FOR 25 YEARS. Soon, this will diminish in value if un-utilised.

     MAN PROPOSES. GOD DISPOSES.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. With every smile Tun, you gain. Keep smiling Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. Both of you looked great in the photos. .

263. Tun

     All seem to be quiet and calm during these early days of the New Year.

     Our country is one of the few in the World festooned with festive holidays of one kind or another. And our dynamic Minister of Education has voiced his concern over the fact that Malaysian teachers might have been overworked by 25% even though I did not notice any complaint on this matter before 9 May 2018.

     Years ago, I worked out that a Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan married female teacher could stretch her pregnancy to 9 full months of leave if she knew how. What about the male teachers ? Would they be home-minders on this score ? However there are more important headlines on my mind then such trivialities, thus :-

     1. ” SINGAPOREANS STOP SHOPPING IN JOHOR.” – I do not recall one instance when the Singaporeans stopped shopping in Johor under the rule of Lee Kuan Yew.

     Some of them came to KL and shopped at Marks & Spencer in Mid-Valley Mall and quipped, ‘ A bar of chocolates in Singapore could buy a shirt at Marks & Spencer in KL.’ They came to KL very easily and comfortably by SIA. And they came for the KL Philharmonic Concerts as well. No one ever thought of the HS train costing RM 60 Billion in those PRE-SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT 2003-2018 DAYS ! Our minds were uncorrupted by money.

     The recent beating of the war-drums by the Leadership of a City State with 50 paper generals and 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 must be like a Gilbert & Sullivan show – a lot in front, nothing behind.

     And in exactly the area where the Johor Mentri Besar had a look-see, an important big-wig of the City State declared all intrusions would be strictly dealt with ! And it is not a joke. His Excellency said it with a stern face.

     In November 1945, from the good ship MV Winchester Castle, I could see all manner of tongkangs, sampans, junks and sailing boats spread widely over this very area without any care of a sea boundary – an expression of freedom after over 3 years of forced incareration which is now strictly delineated in Singapore’s interests. As Theresa May the beleaguered British Prime Minister said yesterday,’ It is time to stop the games. ‘ Or the difference between men and boys is the quality of their toys !

     2. ” STREET SWEEPER TOUCHED BY STATE AWARD. ” It was reported in the media that a 60 year old female road sweeper in Kuala Lipis was awarded the PJK by the Yang Di Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan Tuanku Mukhriz ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir. She worked with the City Centre Road sweeper Unit of the SWM for 15 years. Two other employees of the SEM were similarly awarded. A wonderful gesture and occasion graced by the Ruler of Negri Sembilan. I remember the HRH Sultan Ibrahim of Johor during the pre-war days was similarly loved by his subjects. The Royals do play an important part in our Malaysian Society and were significant in centuries past. This is another facet of UNITY which is as important as any.

     3. ” MALAYSIA’S ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS ARE STRONG.” The World Bank.

     Any blind deaf and dumb economist would have noticed straight away the tremendous savings in terms of the eradication of the Rape of the Government coffers by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites. This savings alone will amount to many billions a year. If 1 Trillion ringgits were transported out between 2002-2010 as was reported, then at least there would have been reduction of this corrupt money by at least not more than RM 125 Billions annually. There should be an immediate cessation of corrupt money flow due to the total disconnect between UMNO and the Private Sector Nexus. Hence, we see many sour-faced individuals riding in posh limousines in town these days with or without the obligatory goons.

     With normal governance and accounting which is the specialty of the FM, and if 2019 turns out to be just like any other normal year for Malaysia, our GDP should be at least 5% if not more because when our beloved Malaysia was being raped lock stock and barrel, the GDP floated above 5%.

     Who says Malaysia is in financial trouble ? This fellow must be from Mars or Rip Van Winkle.

     4. ” FM. I LOVE A BORING DEMOCRACY.” The FM is absolutely right. When our Malaysian Style Democracy was over-ran by strangers of all descriptions who wafted in to have also a bite at the goodies between 2004-2018 offered by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites, no Leader cared for the well-being of the Rakyat especially the 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and the 200,000 unemployed Malay graduates and their non-Malay colleagues.

     All the Leaders were empty of ideas except to copy the failed State of Singapore’s NS. This was only an excuse in the early days to steal money out of the Government coffers via construction of camps, transport, catering, uniforms, miscellaneous contracts etc. Yet billions of ringgits were spent on mere essentials. The mega thefts soon followed thereafter.

     Malaysia has always been known as a boring country unlike exotic Thailand. And our lazy BN Ministers of Tourism became Ministers for Tourism which they thought no one noticed.

     In time without their strenuous efforts, the UNIQUE SCANDALS OF MALAYSIA WERE AS GOOD AS ANY ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE TOURIST BOARD ! It was a sheer waste too to spend RM 90 Million as fast as Speedy Gonzales ! The poor rich Dato Seri was overtaken by speedy events !

     The FM is absolutely right in his comment. NO SCANDALOUS DEMOCRACY FOR US, WE ARE MALAYSIANS !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

264. Tun

     Maybe the pair of bulbuls in the young banyan tree brought more friends to the neighbourhood. Both groups were singing and chirping from about 6.50 a.m. onwards. As soon as the sun peeped over the horizon they were gone. What a carefree life of birds I always thought ? But the grass is always greener on the other side.

     On this score, the tiny Republic of Singapore which covers only 200,000 acres at low tide has just proclaimed the venerable Johor Straits as Singapore Territorial Waters by the stroke of the pen. It was done as easy as this. To conquer something by means of the pen like the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP which the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership signed for ratification if they had won the 14th GE. Man proposes. God disposes.

     In their utmost frustration or angst at missing their quarry our beloved Malaysia, the Bluffologists now revert to their age-old obsession by creating all sorts of comments or other difficulties with comments like, ‘WE EXPECT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MALAYSIA ON A DOWNWARD SPIRAL.’

     I have said many times that Singapore’s obsession with Malaysia had cost them dear in time and money. Why ? They forgot to utilize the tremendous credits and goodwill which Lee Kuan Yew had garnered for them with the Super Powers. If un-utilized, this credit and goodwill will soon be forgotten. Imagine. They forgot for 25 years.

     However, today there are better things to comment about than the fictitious Singapore Territorial Waters over Johor Straits.

     Your significant comment, ‘THE MALAYSIANS ARE NOT UNITED.’ This goes a long way in history and is an extremely complex subject which can only be dealt without the luxury of time but history.

     Let us look at the basics. The many countries which have come before our beloved Malaysia or Malaya minted only in 1957 !

     Countries like India has been around for 5,000 years, Japan 3,000 years and Switzerland 800 years. Each of these countries has a modicum of Unity which was galvanized by wars. Malaysia has no such experience. Except for the fact that tiny Singapore with only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 is always producing the spectre of Malay threats across its borders. A city State which has nothing. A part of its Bluffology Policy has just been punctured by the US billionaire Jim Rogers in San Francisco

     To this day, the four tribes of Switzerland the Germans, the French, the Italians and the Romansch still express snide remarks behind each others back. Through the centuries, it was the armed military which kept them unified. At one stage in the early 1980s, a Swiss general spied on 330,000 of his fellow citizens and got into trouble.

     India and Japan exhibit the most united front from their citizens in wars or wartime.

     But in all three of the countries I mentioned, based on the creation of their unity on EDUCATION which is the font of Unity for them.

     Malaysia’s history is far more complicated than the three countries I mentioned.

     The Federation of Malays was haphazardly created from colonialism which suffered much during World War II. Then, Merdeka was rushed due to the Communist Insurgency. With the colonial compartmentalization of the three major communities, there were not many personalities to man the iconic institutions or to provide ideas for the future.

     For example, in 1965, I was directed by Tun Abdul Razak, President of the Olympic Council to open up the Selangor Shooting Association which was controlled by only 33 Hakkas. Today the Association has over 1,000 members of all races with RM 2 million in its coffers.

     Soon after Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur had the Sulaiman Club, the Selangor Chinese Recreation Club and the Tamil Physical and Cultural Association. The Lake Club was only opened to Malaysians at the direction of Tun Abdul Razak in 1972 ! The clubs and sporting associations in the rest of the country were similarly placed.

     Nearly all Life’s essentials were similarly separated from abodes to wet markets.

     Great efforts have been made by the BN Government up to 2004.

     From then on, the Leadership of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government behaved differently by indulging in personal materialism of the luxury kind at the Rakyat’s expense. As a pundit cracks,’ It takes a Lifetime to learn how to be good. But just one day to turn bad.’

     It is the Education System which as it exists, should be addressed eventually. Sometimes, the digits manning the System are of the little napoleon kind embedded in the examinations syndicates.. Even though this might take a long while, the effort to unite all schools cannot be avoided in time. This is the nub of UNITY of understanding each other and to tolerate each other.

     As it is, it is now every community for itself or every little political faction for itself.

     Lee Kuan Yew might have had thought he had succeeded by his insidious attempts at weakening the Leadership of Malaysia. But the fact that our beloved Malaysia still holds together in these trying times belies his belief. On the other side of the coin, he has failed to do Malaysia down miserably via his Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP. At the end of the day, he himself ended with 47 Failed Public Policies – his Fables and Foibles. Hence Singapore is in a desperate dilemma today to raise new revenues to progress.

     With a strong New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the great and the new, this is the FIRST step. Then, proper and Rakyat serving Policies must follow. For UNITY, it pays for the Minister of Education to pay a visit to India -Dehra Doon, Japan and Singapore – to see whether its as bad as Jim Rogers made them out to be !

     I believe there is a Ministry of Unity. The Minister would not be seeing much during his term or even a Life time in this kaleidoscope of creating Unity WHICH IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. Especially in a country where there is always peace and harmony and practically with no major disasters.

     The only way for UNITY to exist amongst Malaysians eventually is for the Government to take time to formulate the right policies taking into consideration all vested interests and sensitivities at hand with PATIENCE. And this alone might take a long time. It must be remembered that UNITY cannot come out of a computer with the press of a button. UNITY is the melding of different emotions into one thought which is National Unity. It was not UNITY which ousted the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     IT WAS THE AMALGAM OF EVERYTHING WHICH THE RAKYAT SUFFERED FROM 2004-2018 WHICH BROUGHT ITS DOWNFALL. After 9 May 2018, UNITY disappeared as quickly as it appeared. That UNIITY was not sustainable.

     Tun, you brought up a tough subject which could only be dealt by wise men and women over many years or decades in an equable and peaceful environment for all to rationalize to OVERCOME DISUNITY AND CORRUPTION TO MAKE IT TO THE RANKS OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES BY MALAYSIA as mentioned by you recently.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Our Policy for Unity must be steadfast and constant which mantle would be taken up by the inheritors unlike the Crooked and Corrupt Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites 2004-2018 which succumbed to weakness of the flesh and the soft-under-belly when in POWER.

265. Tun

     What better day than to-day to comment on a subject which we all hold dear – HAPPINESS ?

     A day when most human activities take a break after 6 days of work as laid down by most statutes in the business World.

     In France, the French proletariat donned yellow jackets to demand less work, more pay and less inflation.

     Our fellow Rakyat only demonstrate as led by the countless NGOs which have become a new profitable industry replacing politics and the born again tax free places of worship. There is never any failing in the creation of activities by our Malaysians to make money.

     The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘HAPPY’ as feeling of contentment or satisfaction.

     Surprisingly, a group of socio-economists have produced an International Survey of Happiness around the World annually. They produced a Happiness Index for each country as well.

     In 2017, Finland tops the list of happiness.

     Singapore ranks just one place above Malaysia at 34. This is rather surprising with the knowledge that Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% since 2002 ! And Singapore has the authoritarian capitalist or the benevolent authoritarian or rich Cuba political system. It is a tiny place with only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50. To put Singapore in the same league as a country State instead of a city State, this mocks the credibility of the Happiness Index.

     In 2017, our beloved Malaysia was mired in her deepest and darkest hour under the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites leadership 2004-2018.

     There was nothing on the table for the Rakyat. The BN Leadership and its elites took all. Lip-service was paid to problems and promises. The unemployed 200,000 graduates were neglected and the 200,000 young Malay bankrupts were misled by a perfunctory amendment of the Bankruptcy Act 1967 which left everything in place without amendment. The Ministers of Law were ineffective. The utter neglect of Public Services knew no bounds. Billions of ringgits were stolen openly and siphoned overseas . The Rakyat were aware of this total Rape of our beloved Malaysia from 2004-2018.

     Yet, our beloved Malaysia’s Happiness Index ranked just below Singapore’s which has a huge Ministry of Information keeping tabs on all the international surveys to make sure Singapore stands out tops by hook or by crook. PR has been the number one priority from the very beginning for Singapore.

     This bluffology or BS caught the billionaire Jim Rogers unawares. When he realised he was conned, he spoke candidly at a San Francisco recently about the sad state of languages in the education system in Singapore. Here is one UNHAPPY person to add to the list of persons conned by Singapore Bluffology or BS.

     With the facts before us, our beloved Malaysia’s Happiness Index for 2018 and forwards should be many rankings above Singapore’s despite of its contrived and insidious attempts to better all. Or as Singapore proudly put it without any justification, ” Hit above its weight “. The World will come to realise that Singapore’s boastful claims are all BS, like the billionaire Jim Rogers.

     Malaysia’s Happiness Index as bolstered by the New and Incorruptible Government will shoot up the rankings sooner rather than later.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Even in the Happiness Index of the World, Singapore tried to BS past Malaysia. Believe it or not ! We know Singapore has nothing since the end of the Cold War 1948-1989 with the loss of the Black Arms Trades to the BRICS !

     The bulbul which sang in full song in the young banyan tree outside my house surprisingly perched by my sitting room closed window trying to gain access into the house. He did not make it and flew off in frustration. This is one part of Life which interests me apart from observing the ridiculous events concerning Corruption by those in Power who were in control of Money – the fallible Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites. 2004-2018

     Your significant comment.’ MALAYSIA MUST TACKLE CORRUPTION HEAD-ON BEFORE JOINING RAKNS OF DEVELOPED COUNTRIES, This makes sense as the New and Incorruptible Government begins to catch the crooks and charge them in Court. In time, this should act as a deterrent to those who have corruption in their minds.

     As the saying goes, ‘ Like a rotting fish, Corruption begins at the head.’

     Corruption was an epidemic from 2004-2018 created by the rotten Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government and its elites. The whole Establishment was involved.

     One absurd example was the use of the money-losing MAS to buy 4th rate works of art from a girl friend, I presume.

     This Corruption epidemic did not suddenly appear but had its origins dating back to the Japanese Occupation 1943-1945. The tricks learnt by by the Chinese during those trying times were carried into the British Military Administration (BMA)1945-1950.

     During this time Corruption was apparent in the towns like Kuala Lumpur where Government rice storekeepers and market sanitary inspectors were on the take and in play. Some could afford to send their children to Britain to study ! One Deputy Controller of Estate Duty could accept Straits $ 5,000 wrapped inside the venerable Straits Times so that he would sign the deceased’s Probate. From here, Corruption was fairly well contained. But one astute Chinaman in those early days of the British Legislative Council already had a local Councillor on his payroll. We might say this was the very first instance of MONEY POLITICS in British Malaya !

     From here we fast trek to the Corruption Epidemic by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites, all were infected.

     With the full knowledge that a Corruption Epidemic will kill us all and our beloved Malaysia was saved by a whisker from being enslaved by Singapore via the un-ratified TPPA/CPTPP which was signed by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, we must now understand that every ringgit the New and Incorruptible Government spends will bring a full value of nearly 90 sens.

     In Singapore with its anti-corruption draconian measures, only 93 cents could be recovered.

     Before the New and Incorruptible Government, the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government could only recover 60 sens. This important fact is not only good for the stability of the ringgit in our National Interest but also to foreign investors.

     Because of this fact alone without the support of the good Policies of the incumbent Government to come, there will be a HUGE INFLOW OF FDI WITHING TWO YEARS as soon as the international financial setting stabilizes. Further, our beloved Malaysia is now one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     The above facts are supported by international surveys which reported an outflow of RM 1 Trillion from Malaysia between 2003-2010 ! And another source recently claimed after this another RM 470 Billion had been siphoned overseas.

     These facts confirm the magnitude of the Rape of our beloved Malaysia by those whom the Rakyat elected and placed their trust in them. In the history of Humankind, the Rape of our beloved Malaysia is worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of Ancient Rome who as reported eventually enjoyed it !

     As a result of the criminal Corrupt activities of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites, we the Rakyat faced with no jobs, no increment in our incomes, no opportunities to make money, no more life-style living for our families, inflation, rising cost of living, a depressed property market and the whole economy is moribund together with 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and another 200,000 unemployed graduates.

     YET THE RAKYAT SEE ALL THESE SMILING FELONS GOING TO BE CHARGED IN COURT WITHOUT A DRAM OF REMORSE AT THE SUFFERING OF THE RAKYAT WHICH WAS OF THEIR DELIBERATE DOING.

     Catch the crooks. Charge them in Court.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR THE GOVERNMNET NOW IS TO TAKE BACK ALL THE STOLEN MONEY DEPOSITED OVERSEAS AND BENEFITTING THE HOST COUNTRIES ONLY. A Clause on this penalty should be incorporated in all the appropriate Laws.

267. Tun

     This is one of my happiest days. Why ?

     I was having lunch with my friend in a Mall. We called for the bill. A Datin officer of DBKL who was sitting with her assistant at the next table insisted she paid for our lunch bill. She said she was very happy to do so. My friend was exceedingly surprised as this has never happened to him before. But in my case, there were a couple of instances like this.

     It was obvious that this Datin officer of DBKL was in a happy frame of mind concerning her job, her Boss and the New and Incorruptible Government.

     This also showed that the effects of the Policies of the New and Incorruptible Government are reaching down to the lower levels of the Administration. This Policy thrust must be follow-up to its final conclusion when the exclusivity of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites were all pervasive.

     This was not a surprise. But what it should be amongst us the Rakyat who are fortunate to be born, bred and live in this beloved Malaysia of ours. We all have a great future with LESS POLITICS and more HARD WORK.

     I have always said that hard work does not kill anyone but only do good.

     I had 11 brothers who were fortunate not to work since my father died. They all died young at a time when people lived up to 100 years old. They died young without working or lifting a finger to do any work.

     All humankind are born to work and persevere for better things in Life. Anything which does not conform to NORMAL behaviour, will be cut down sooner or later as we could see from recent events in our beloved Malaysia.

     We have seen so many high ranking people with titles wearing the orange lock-up apparel of he MACC these days including the first Chinese Datuk who happened to be my friend, also joined the throng.

     How could it be ? Are we dreaming that even the most powerful and richest in the land had taken to robbing Public Coffers ? What a bad example the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites gave to all and sundry !

     When I was on the Board of Trustees of the EPF and Board of Directors of Bank Negara Malaysia, I never sought any freebies like holiday bungalows, transport etc.

     As a Director of Sime Darby, I never sought any freebies like holiday bungalows, yachts, private plane rides, transport, staff attendance etc at home and abroad.

     Once I turned up at a meeting of Cycle & Carriage Ltd Singapore, in a small taxi and stopped in front of the showroom with screeching brakes. I could hear the muffled laughter of the sales staff as I walked up to the Boardroom. I was there to re-structure the Company which was mired in problems by the top 4 officers of the Management which had at least 8 Mercedes per family to use. eg. one to go to office, another to play golf, one for marketing, a special one to attend official dinners etc. The 4 executive officers were brothers. One of them asked me for permission to buy a second-hand yacht. I told him I was not into yachts. If the other directors gave their consent, I would go along. He never came back.

     Not long afterwards, I was lounging by the Star Ferry quayside Tsimshatsui Hong Kong. A huge yacht moored next to me. Two expatriate families disembarked with butlers and matrons. At the rear of the yacht was emblazoned, SIME DARBY.

     I returned to KL and complained to the Sime Darby Management why the Directors were not informed about the yacht. The reply was the yacht was to make the expatriates happy. I thought what did the Management do to make the SHAREHOLDERS HAPPY !

     Because of the peculiar layers of Power in practice in corporate governance in Malaysia where infringements of ethics, propriety, standards, integrity etc are often ignored and without enforcement of the Laws, the top Management did all in their own personal interest.

     In this instance, it is obvious the Malaysian top Sime Darby Management bought the yacht for their own personal use whilst attending the Hong Kong horse races with the ultimate in luxury as regards all essentials.

     The derring-dos in the Private Sector influenced the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its elites to have the same luxuries at the Rakyat’s expense through the corrupt GLCs.

     Hence my friend the Datuk ended up wearing the orange apparel of the MACC !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem

     This morning was another cool and calm morning. As I walked past the young banyan tree, the resident bulbul was in full song. I was happy he was back after a furlough of a few days. However, it was an unexpected headline which caught my eyes this morning, thus :-

     ” JIM ROGERS : SINGAPORE EDUCATION SYSTEM SUCKS AT BOTH ENGLISH AND CHINESE. ”

     http//www.singapore-herald.com/824

     Quote Jim Rogers. ” Many people speak Mandarin and I moved to Singapore because I can’t speak Mandarin myself…..I did not expect that Singapore sucks at both English and Chinese. The English standard in Singapore is just disappointing.”

     Quote the article. ” The Singapore Government often advertised its education system as ‘ one of the World’s best.’ and many impressionable foreigners from Asia, China and English speaking countries send their children to study in the island. Resident foreigners soon realise that the Singapore education system is especially lacking in languages and not as felicitous as the Government made it out to be. Ruling Party elites and Ministers is a ready example of poor English.”

     Singlish has become a permanent fixture in Singapore, now and forever.

     Jim Rogers is an American billionaire who took up residence in Singapore with a lot of Singapore Government fan-fare. He found his 2 daughters did not learn much from the Singapore education system concerning English and Mandarin.

     It is obvious that the good teachers in languages and other subjects have emigrated to Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Hence, Jim Rogers spoke out on the true facts concerning Singapore Government’s much touted education system and its mathematics subjects.

     In mathematics, 1 + 1 = 2.

     How many Malaysians observed that Lee Kuan Yew’s two sons studied mathematics and engineering because these subjects are mathematics based. If they had studied Law at Cambridge in the 1970s, they would have been placed last against 300 smartest British undergraduates.

     Lee Kuan Yew entered Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge by the back-door without the requisite Open Examination and Latin or Greek. He was over-aged at 23. After three and a half years of Law tuition by unemployed British trained lawyers throughout the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945. he could repeat volumes of Law by rote. His fellow undergraduates were war veterans who numbered probably about 30. He was tops. The Double First in Law was his highest achievement which thereafter, he created 47 Failed Public Policies – his Fables and Foibles. A sort of contrived giant with feet of clay based on one singular achievement under wartime circumstances. Even his quotations were often contradictory.

     However, our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was born a brilliant and courageous person who could think out his Policies on a firm basis. But all his closest aides let him down by having secret agendas like collecting Stradivarius violins or banks etc. They crossed the red line of no return and created scandals. I can confirm these facts.

     Hence, Singapore is in a dilemma concerning most things on the one hand and Malaysia is one of four most important small countries on the other.

     The latest comments by Singapore Government officials seemed to blame their problems on the New and Incorruptible Government of Malaysia which I consider as odd. They could not offer steel in a velvet glove solutions like what Lee Kuan Yew could in the 20th Century. They tried but failed.

     How could they when they have Ministers with unkempt hair, sleepy face and without a suit or a tie ? I consider this is a mockery of his own honourable Singapore Government.

     And to underline what I have been saying for years in these columns on brainwashing, the article mentioned ‘…..and many impressionable foreigners from Asia, China and English speaking countries send their children to study in the island…….’ This confirms the mass brainwashing by Lee Kuan Yew using the best methods of the West and East.

     Jim Rogers is one prominent international business person who was conned by the BLUFFOLOGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE which actually has nothing. These snippets or driblets are coming home to roost like pigeons. In time, the whole artificial façade will be unmasked that the citizens were conned big time. That was what happened to the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     YOU CAN CON SOME PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME. BUT YOU CANNOT CON ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. NO BLUFFOLOGY OR BS FOR US. WE ARE MALAYSIANS !

269. Tun

     Finally, your fears of what would happen to our beloved Malaysia over a decade ago and my fears from gleaning the headlines of the media that Malaysia had lost her Sovereignty and National Interest from 2004-2018 is now confirmed by a headline today, thus :-

     ‘ CHINA OFFERED TO BAIL OUT 1MDB, SAYS WSJ. ‘

     With headlines like these now staring at us before our eyes not only confirm the dire neglect of the duties and responsibilities to be performed by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites but also our beloved Malaysia was being sold out lock stock and barrel.

     First, the BN Government sought sustenance and aid from China through mega projects which do not jive with the immediate needs of the Rakyat.

     Mega projects in towns do not benefit anyone except for the BN Leaders in control of the coffers.

     Why China’s help to improve our horti-cultural industry, fishing and SMEs were not sought by the BN Leadership ?

     Mega projects which only serve 100,000 passengers daily were rushed to completion for the 14th GE.

     There are over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts and possibly another 200,000 unemployed graduates together with their non-Malay colleagues are left alone and neglected.

     To add to the sheer waste and neglect of the Rakyat who deserve the most attention, the BN Leaders approved the spending of RM 750 Million to turn our green Lake Gardens into a concrete jungle which is deserted normally from Mondays to Fridays.

     And more spending to build a new museum to house fake antiques because no one in the World build a museum first to house real antiques afterwards. Real antiques are not available daily like our daily bread. A worthy antiques collection will take a lifetime to acquire if at all available. The museums in the West today were created over 100 years ago either from war loot or life-time collectors.

     The only worthy historical items apart from those in the Islamic Museum are in the Bank Negara Numismatic Museum and the Maybank Numismatic Museum.

     In 1972, I donated the World’s only Finest Collection of 110 gold and silver coins of the Malay Sultanates in the 18th and 19th Century.

     In 1984, I donated the finest collection of coins of the Straits Settlements, Malaya, Sarawak and North Borneo. The Maybank Numismatic Museum exhibits another similar coinage collection from me.

     These numismatic collections took me a life-time to put together. There is no such thing as building a new museum to house a collection of antiques which can only be fakes if acquired in months !.

     A large portion of the Nation’s wealth has been wasted on assets of no value or over-valued.

     Not only China’s alleged bail-out of the BN Government but also the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government signed Lee Kuan Yew’s Malaysia Killer the TPPA/CPTPP which was waiting to be ratified after the 14th GE. Man proposes. God disposes. The Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites fell from Power.

     Singapore was so keen to enslave our beloved Malaysia with the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP that Lee Kuan Yew visited the hot and humid Ulus at the age of 85 to exhort his cohorts, digits, spies, senior Civil Servants, fellow travellers, journalists, ducks, swallows, tycoons etc. To ensure his success, he had tea with a lady in a house off Jalan Duta. And with tongue in his cheek, Lee Kuan Yew visited our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in his office !

     Man proposes. God disposes ! President Trump tore up the TPPA on his first day in office. Singapore lost their long-time US Democrat mojo. And by 2018, Singapore lost its Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites as well which were all dancing and enjoyig wonderfully to the corrupt GLCs tune.

     Most Malaysians are not aware how close our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat face total rape and enslavement. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Thanks to the brilliance and courage of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side, WE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD, TREKKING RAPIDLY UPWARDS TO THE LIKES OF VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN !

     With no Leadership of note 2004-2018, our beloved Malaysia would have been thoroughlyn raped and enslaved – worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of Ancient/ Rome ! Driblets and snippets of factual information now emerging from/ here and there CONFIRM.

     Does our beloved Malaysia really need a super-fast train between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore ? 99% of the construction and costs will be on Malaysian soil whilst Singapore could up-grade a golf course into a railway station with condos and commercial properties. Singapore gains. Malaysia loses again. Not only that, the over 200,000 young Malays bankrupts and the over 200,000 unemployed Malay graduates and their non-Malay colleagues were forgotten. The fast train delivers tourists fast to Singapore as the volume of passengers is always higher from Kuala Lumpur. Brains do not think !

     It is a mystery to me up to this day what were the mind-sets of those BN Leaders in 2004-2018 if any !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

270. Tun,

     It is good to remind all Malaysians that our beloved Malaysia’s own style of Democracy is very much alive and well.

     There have been a huge inundation of unnecessary complaints onto the new Leaders either to embarrass them or to derail them from their allotted tasks.

     But as long as the ship under your stern and wise command navigates a steady course, the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great will prevail. That’s a fine thing for our beloved Malaysia in 2019.

     As a born-optimist, I have always written in these columns with no complaints but always try to impress what a wonderful country we all have. And with the New and Incorruptible Government, perfect.

     But there are wisps of black clouds over the far horizon – the struggle for the hegemony of South East Asia and the South China Sea between China and the United States., thus,

     Nikkei Financial Review.’ SOUTH EAST ASIANS FEEL CAUGHT IN US-CHINA FIGHT FOR HEGEMONY. ‘

     How ? With problems it is always best to refer to historical precedents which not only save us a lot of time but provide information on how to deal with such problems together with our own enhancements or improvements.

     Switzerland comes right to my mind. A country which lived under the Nazi jackboot during Hitler’s Regime.1933-1945. She did not do anything which was biased against any country or sided one country against another. She made a slip somehow and was accidentally bombed by the American USAF. The border town of Schaffausen took the hit. This accident brought the Swiss to walk the straight and narrow path of neutrality again.

     South East Asia is the most important Region of the World. Amongst the ASEAN countries like Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia are budding important countries of the World with Malaysia right in the nexus of ASEAN.

     TO CONTROL ASIA, ASEAN IS THE NATURAL BASE WITH MALAYSIA AGAIN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AS THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOKE POINT IN THE WORLD STANDING ASTRIDE FROM THE ANDAMAN SEA TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.

     It is good our beloved Malaysia formulate a Policy of Neutrality concerning tussles between the United States and China which will also bind the ASEAN countries as well.

     As small Nations, we have always been peaceful and industrious. We do not want to be involved in the Power struggles of Super-Powers which really we do not understand. What we all want is our peaceful livelihood without war and destruction, our rice and our sustainable future for our families. No more. No less.

     Without a Policy, the ASEAN countries will be like a herd of sheep in loose formation without defence.

     But if the Powers that be offer goodies for each Nation, of course, within the context of each Sovereignty and National Interest, there is no harm getting the benefit for the peoples provide there is no overdose of a good thing.

     Like what doctors always say, you can do anything but do not overdo it.
     Common sense. Unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites which were handled by Singapore through an invisible leash.

     In other words, with a battle for hegemony for South East Asia, it is better for Malaysia and ASEAN to line up with countries like India, Japan, South Korea to give us more space for manoeuvrability and every move or action must be a gain to Malaysia and ASEAN within the context of Sovereignty and National Interest eg. the Seletar Airport Air Space.

     As we must always say, ‘ We are peaceful and hardworking. We are Malaysians.’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. A Neutral Foreign Policy is the Best Policy.

271. Tun

     The end of every year always brought memories of past events to my mind. I suppose it is only natural that this is so. After all we are human beings of flesh and blood with a brain. But there are some who forget about their past even though illustrious and embark on the Life full of existentialism in pursuit of material desires and wealth. Such people are dangerous in view of the shallowness of their mind-sets.

     How many Malaysians realise the full meaning of our beloved Tun Dr Siti Hasmah playing her violin in honour of a young man ? To me, the complete picture is that our beloved Malaysia is now able to express her emotions at the highest level of attributes. And we do not need a US$ 5 Million Stradivarius to express our feelings.

     You have mentioned about the importance of the mind-set in recent days. Unfortunately, there are not many in this country who understand what is the meaning of a mind-set. This is the problem.

     To me, a mind-set is the frame of thinking by a person who has been properly educated and not uneducated. Hence we have education for all from young. It is no use when a person who is already an adult. It is far too late for such a person to have the right mind-set. Amongst our Society these days, fake PH.D holders are a dime a dozen.

     Tun, you are probably the only person in our beloved Malaysia who uses the brain all the time to think out problems and options.

     Take the case of the self-promoted Lee Kuan Yew who had 47 Failed Public Policies to his name. His fables and foibles. How many Malaysians knew the following :-

     1. In the 1970s, Lee Kuan Yew up-rooted all the trees which attracted worms to the fruits and flowers. As a consequence, all the birds disappeared from Singapore. The Singapore Government had to employ a British ornithologist to find out why all the birds disappeared. He found Lee Kuan Yew insisted on the planting of non-flowering trees and shrubs. This non-utilization of Lee Kuan Yew’s brain and its thinking processes cost Singapore dear and it took at least over a decade to attract the birds return. Today, Singapore proudly proclaims that she protects her fauna and flora with the requisite pictures of imported monkeys as the confirmation of wild life in Singapore’s patches of forests or greenery.

     2. Not only that, in the early 1970s, Lee Kuan Yew demolished all the historical places of worship and heritage sites until his buddy told him he was over-doing it. From then on, he began to build fake historical buildings which featured 19th Century architecture which could be seen all over Singapore today.

     Apart from Lee Kuan Yew’s non-functioning mind-set which produced 47 Failed Public Policies of Fables and Foibles, the untold damage created by such un-thinking Policies only came home to roost in recent times. Hence, this is the burden to bear for his inheritors.

     Strangely, despite all the remonstrations encouraged by his inheritors today to revive his oft-contradictory quotations like Mao’s Little Red Book, Singapore is in a dilemma of deep proportions due to a brand new World of the makings of the Super-Powers in a cyber-environment of the 21st Century.

     This is the real difference between our beloved Malaysia’s brilliant and courageous Prime Minister who thinks all the time and those Prime Ministers who had to refer to their Little Red Books all the time.

     For example, the Sin Chew Jit Poh brought up the subject UEC when its journalists interviewed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     The UEC is a historical subject with a complicated problem. A problem which has a history which dates back to the 19th Century but also right through the political tumultuous 20th Century.

     AN ANSWER COULD NOT BE ANSWERED OFF THE CUFF BY ANY LEADER BECAUSE OF THE COALITION NATURE OF ALL MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENTS 1957-2019. Hence, for any pundit to jump at any equivocal answer provide is off the mark.

     Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad answer on this score was proper and correct which reflected the nature of his natural deep mind-set on such sensitive issues with caution and care. I am confident this UEC issue will be resolved in time.

     It is not a big deal under present circumstances unlike on May 13 1969 when the Malays had only 2% of the general economy, the Chinese 25% of the third rate assets and the British 70% of the best assets.

     We have all come very far and our beloved Malaysia has become overnight one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     No scientist has reproduced the human brain yet !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Given proper thinking and time and patience, all issues will be resolved by all together.

272. Tun

     Before I could relax and switch off the computer, an important headline caught my eye.

     ‘ A MASSIVE BANKING CRISIS IS BREWING IN SINGAPORE SAYS SWISS BILLIONAIRE ZULAUF SPEAKING AT THE ANNUAL BARRON’S ROUND TABLE.’

     As I was just saying a few moments ago about the dangers and priorities which the New and Incorruptible Government are facing or will face, here is the incisive comment by a seasoned financier on the forthcoming vicissitudes for Singapore, China and Hong Kong to come. The latter countries are just exposed as anyone else to to-day’s Globaization, Free Trade and Human Rights – the famed words of Uncle Sam just after the end of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     Singapore should now regret deeply by not building a hoard of GOLD 4,000 tons at around US$ 300 per ounce from the 1980s to 2002 ! Arrogance and the lack of understanding of priorities have caused a deep wound in its well-being and sustainability.

     The Leadership did not consider that GOLD WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONLY NATURAL RESOURCE SINGAPORE NEEDED DESPERATELY AND NOT ALL THOSE ILL-CONCEIVED PAPER SHARES FROM WALL STREET OR THE CITY.

     GOLD WOULD HAVE MADE SINGAPORE REALLY INDEPENDENT AND NEED NOT KOW-TOW TO CHINA AND THE UNITED STATES WITH MALAYSIA IN HER POCKET. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Tun, as I was saying previously, it is so very important to consider all options carefully and prioritise accordingly on all issues.

     The sad case of Singapore missing out the one and only weapon which she could have created from her huge largesse from the Black Under-Counter Trades in Arms, Sanctions breaking etc of the Cold War 1948-1989 by investing in GOLD which she could control, is a sound lesson for all that a Leadership must never be arrogant and consider all options in the National Interest. A Leadership thinking must never be clouded by emotions overlaid by flattery especially by the Gnomes of Zurich !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

273. Tun

     The morning began with the good olde North East Monsoon still lingered with us until the Sun came out and shooed it away with the pale azure blue sky of a January morning in our beloved Malaysia.

     For sometime now, I have observed the helter-skelter policies of the ex-BN politicians to derail the purpose and good works of the New and Incorruptible Government since the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government lost all its marbles on 9 May 2018.

     Never in the political history of our beloved Malaysia has such a Leadership been thrown out of Power lock stock and barrel !

     14 years of decadent living and spending which brought our beloved Malaysia down to her knees and our reputation ended up in the pit of IGNONIMY at the Rakyat’s expense. Not only a few but the whole Establishment and its elites as well.

     Like spending RM 750 Million to touch up the Taman Perdana, Kuala Lumpur when there are over 200,000 young Malay bankrupts ! And a similar number of graduates without jobs.

     Those pre-9 May 2018 times were desperate times. Living in the jaws of Death which had nearly been fully cast.

     As I saw it the New and Incorruptible Opposition drew up the very workable Manifesto to do just one thing – to oust the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government lock stock and barrel. Surprisingly, thanks to your brilliance and courage, the Manifesto worked.

     Any good Leader would treat the issues raised in the Manifesto that are to be allotted according to urgency and priority. All issues according to a logical mind should be prioritised accordingly. Emotions and irrationality should not take first of place.

     A Leader is administrating a Government which rules over a country of millions of souls. He is not looking after a kindergarten. He has due responsibilities and duties which a mistake or a wrong decision will or may cause the lives of innocent men, women and children. Every decision made by a Leader must be carefully thought out over time with care.

     Unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites which to this very day do not show any remorse at the decadent Life and the crass over-spending of the Rakyat’s money from 2004-2018.

     With due respect, all the issues in the Manifesto of the New and Incorruptible Government should now be prioritized according to urgency and importance. It is as simple as this. Surely none of the issues so raised will be ignored for now or the future. As a layman, I see the importance of the following issues as prioritised

     Issues in order of urgency and priority

     1. Unity of the country – the most important in a democratic country

     2. The financial wherewithal – With the Rape of our beloved Malaysia by the BN Leadership from 2004-2018 en masse which was worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of Ancient Rome, what we now see and have, are empty Government coffers and its GLCs everywhere in the face of a rising International Financial Storm 2019

     3. The Repair of the damaged Governmental Administrative System which is not so much about the System but the CORRUPTED AND DEBASED VALUES OF THE DIGITS OPERATING IN IT. It’s what is known as the MORALE. Because of the strict Laws in Singapore, the equivalent went for serial sex like a Mr Gan. But in Malaysia, the digits went for SEX and MONEY as well.

     4. The Forward Planning for the years to come unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites who spent time not only stealing money but jet-setting throughout the World. So much so, the BN Leaders were seen to be suffering from jet-lag right in the middle of the Dewan Rakyat. One day, a foreign wise-crack will put all these crazy behaviour in print. With such strenuous activities, the BN Leadership did not have time to care for the farmers, the small-holders, fishermen, the worker etc. Hence, today Malaysia’s PMI dropped to 46.8 per cent. Chine’s 49 per cent and Singapore 48 per cent.

     5. The Daily Routine Ministerial chores to bring the Ministries up to the NORMAL ADMINISTRATIVE STANDARDS OF PRE-2004 YEARS.

     6. Miscellaneous issues which were encumbered in the Manifesto of a POLITICAL NATURE. Political issues, philosophies, polemics etc are the least important when our RICE BOWL has been broken by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     THEREFORE THE FASTER PROBLEMS 1 – 5 ARE RESOLVED THE FASTER ISSUES LIKE THE UEC ETC WILL BE RESOVLED. It is improper to deal with issues which are of minor importance in comparison to the urgent resolutions of major issues at hand. The broad strokes have to be applied on a canvas first before a painting can be completed with the minor strokes or touches. Impatience will kill the goose that lays the golden egg.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem if all issues are PRIORITIZED ACCORDINGLY.

274. Tun

     The recent visit by the Foreign Secretary of the British Government to Singapore and his comments were an eye-opener. He lauded the Singaporean Education System which is based on Mathematics. But the Singaporean media twisted his comments as though Britain after Brexit would take Singapore as their Model. A one street town which closed down their arms facility over 20 years ago !

     Despite their best efforts, the Singapore Government could not produce outstanding personalities like those of their First Generation over 50 years ! There must have been a severe attrition of talent or the lack of proper human resources to fill in the void.

     Hence, my call for Singapore to give Mr Goh Chok Tong a chance to be Prime Minister again due to Singapore’s lack of Prime Minister talent.

     In 1992, Deng Xiao Peng commented that ‘That they have good administrators. But we will do better than them.’

     In 2019, Deng would regret those words from the results of China copying Lee Kuan Yew’s GLCs. There are 100 Chinese on the run form money stolen from the Chinese GLCs.

     And the Chinese demographic experts have commented that by 2027, China’s population will begin to shrink by copying Lee Kuan Yew’s ill-conceived 2 Child Family Policy 1972-1984. Three years earlier than anticipated.

     Those who copied Lee Kuan Yew’s ill-conceived Policies like the GLCs will pay for their insouciance like the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     The British Foreign Secretary lauded Singapore’s education system which actually is based on Mathematics. This System did not produce another Lee Kuan Yew but a host of nameless graduates without political charisma. There is a Leadership problem in Singapore today. And the British Education System only lacks money but nothing else.

     And the Singaporean media twisted Jeffrey Hunt’s comments as though Britain will adopt the Singapore Model after Brexit. What rubbish !

     WHAT SINGAPORE MODEL CAN BRITAIN THE 6TH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD TO ADOPT FROM A ONE-STREET TOWN ?

     Singapore’s only natural resource, BLUFFOLOGY will not work with the Net. Period.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

275. Tun

     Two headlines caught my eyes this morning thus :-

     1. The StarBiz. ‘ PMI AT LOWEST LEVEL.’

     2. Financial Daily.’MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY DROPS TO NEW LOW IN DECEMBER’

     The headlines reveal the lack of forward planning by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites during 2004-2018.

     Any layman would have highlighted the importance to develop the Tourism Industry, to discard the corrupt and uncontrollable GLCs, to build up the cash reserves for all for the rainy day and to cut costs all round.

     But the BN Leadership to the opposite course and engaged in flagrant and useless spending of the Rakyat’s money without due care and consideration. This has made everyone poorer in Malaysia from tycoons to the small-holder through the lack of jobs, inflation and the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit.

     In the management of a country’s finances, it takes many years to build up a credible wherewithal which could not be created at the press of a button.

     Instead of building up the Tourism Industry, the Minister had a gala time visiting the Southern Antipodes with her spouse in tow. There the kangaroos and sheep out-number the humans 1,000 to one. Not only that she promoted London with an orchid exhibit at the Royal Chelsea Flower Show for the upper-class paid for by the Malaysian Government. She was awarded a Gold Medal for promoting London by the Queen. The medal rightly belongs to the National Museum of Malaysia.

     Further, Sime Darby promoted Ocean Racing in New Zealand for 9 years to appease its former Finance Director who retired there.

     Other countries tourism was promoted except our beloved Malaysia’s which Tourism Industry remains a stunted midget.

     I remember the ex-Axis countries of Germany, Italy and Japan promoted the Tourism Industry to the fullest immediately after the World War 2 which completely flattened them. This took at least 25 years of hard work by these countries and their ministers. None of them toured OTHER COUNTRIES !

     If the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership had only build up our beloved Malaysia’s Tourism Industry 2004-2018, they would have been in honest control of one of the four most important small countries of the World and not in the pit of IGNOMINY AS AT 5 MAY 2018.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. How can anyone forget about forward planning like the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites ?

276. Tun

     A Very Happy New Year to you, Tun Siti Hasmah and Family and all at this distinguished Blog on this auspicious and ominous first day of 2019.

     Instead of following headlines, I will create two of my own today, thus :-

     1. ” Heads of the Government, Corporations and Famillies should not steal money from the coffers. ”

     If the Head of the Government steals money from the Public Coffers, this means that he does not understand the meaning and functions of a Government.

     Or the Head of a Corporation do likewise, he does not understand the business.

     And if the Head of a Family does the same, his Family can only suffer due to his lack of care and consideration for them.

     In the Management of a rubber or oil palm plantation the following guidelines must be strictly adhered to thus, :-

     1. As far as possible, the plantation should not borrow any money for planting or re-planting because the business is one of the slowest in the World and subjected to cyclical up and down turns of long duration.

     2. A cycle can last 7 – 10 years.

     3. A planter must focus on the production at the lowest cost and the highest quality like a factory manager.

     4. All surplus money must form the reserves for the rainy day. Because when it rains for days, there will be no production and income for days.

     5. All trees must be replanted around the age of 20. This is where money in reserve has to be spent.

     6. Because of the peculiar nature of the profession, the employees get up at 5 a.m. and stop at 12 p.m., it is important for the top Management to set a fine example at work.

     7. If the coffers of a plantation are empty, it becomes a complete disaster because it takes years and years of careful administration to build up the cash reserves. To borrow, this becomes a double disaster.

     8. Like in any other business, there is no room for money to be stolen from the system. This not only affects the staff morale but also weakens the whole corporate structure.

     9. Ultimately, thefts from the Government, the Corporations and a Family could only bring down the entity.

     Like our beloved Malaysia was on the brink of collapse on 8 May 2018.

     Thanks to God’s Will. Our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side turned our beloved Malaysia into one of four most important small countries of the World overnight on 9 May 2018 !

     2. ‘ The Malaysians are the worst drivers in the World.’

     I have observed without fail, a driver would overtake me at close quarters and speed on my right to exit on the left, in front of me. A driver would never slow down behind me to exit.

     Or a driver would accelerate from behind when I wanted to change lanes with my indicator out with plenty of time on my side and for the other driver. Or jumping the queue. Or most of the drivers were driving without their brains functioning.

     For example, about 3 years ago at the height of Power of the BN goons, I was driving towards the the toll highway along the Science Museum. As I drew abreast of the thick double white lines just before the highway toll bridge, a white Porsche Cayenne with goons in black T shirts gesticulating for me to give way. They were crossing the thick white double white lines which separated the highway toll bridge from the road to PJ. I did not stop. The crash damaged the whole of the front door of the Porsche. No damage to my car (Toyota Rush) at all. A goon grabbed my keys (kidnapping) and a sub-continent Tan Sri Dato Seri Dr JP contractor from Sungei Siput confronted me and gave me his card. He told me he lived in Damansara Heights and asked mw where I lived. I told him, ‘Bukit Tunku’. I saw his mind rolled a bit. The goons then forced me to drive with them to the Sime Darby Workshop to pay for the damage to his own inflicted damaged car. What did I do ? With a quick assessment whether to oppose 100% against the heyday of the BN goons or let Man proposes. God disposes. I took the latter course.

     I knew the new white door would attain a different shade after sometime. The Workshop Manager told me this Tan Sri had already crashed the car many times. All told when this fellow sells his car, what I pay for the current damage will be much less than the depreciation caused by his own crazy behaviour. With a smile and a handshake, I left.

     A few months later, a drunken Chinaman crashed his car into my garden and paid me nearly what I paid for the self-inflicted Tan Sri car damage repairs. Man proposes. God disposes.

     And in the 2018 GE, the MIC lost big with the Tan Sri Dato Seri Dr JP who lives in Damansara Heights. Man proposes. God disposes.

     With the above-mentioned crazy behaviour when a Malaysian gets into a car, it seems appropriate to highliaht a few points for the benefit of all, thus :-

     1. In my whole Life time, I have not observed that the relevant authorities admonish the drivers of cars and motorcycles that

     ‘ A MOTORCAR OR MOTORCYCLE IS ACTUALLY A MURDER WEAPON WHICH CAN KILL THEMSELVES OR OTHERS.’ The sooner this is done the better.

     2. What we notice all the time was, ‘ Do not drink when you drive.’
     But the drivers were already incompetent to drive without being drunk !

     3. The Art of the Highway Code in its simplest form should begin in the kindergarten curriculum as kid games. And this safety knowledge of an essential function should be taught right up to at least Form 4.

     4. When my children took the driving test over 20 years ago, the Driving Test Manual could only be deciphered by a Ph.D in Bahasa Melayu which engendered negative acts to pass. Life is short. The relevant authorities should now ease the suffering to pass a driving by keeping all to an easy and common level to eliminate corruption.

     Tun as may have observed, common sense plays an important part in our daily lives. A balanced education certainly helps. With a New and Incorruptible Government with our trust, there should be no problem

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. As your FM commented enthusiastically recently which was backed by Normal Administration only. And we must expect big inflows of investment soon into Malaysia, one of the four most important small countries of the World.

277. Tun,

     At the end of 2018, you made a fantastic remark probably arising from your reflections during the ascendancy of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites 2004-2018.

     A period when all the naysayers lined up and poured the finest quality vitriol on you. And with your brilliance and courage which these naysayers did not expect you to have, like the Teflon Man, you conquered all of them who now shall we put in kinder words,’ The Team.’

     Man Proposes. God disposes or 99% hard work and 1% God’s Will.

     Your comment was headlined, thus :-

     ” I WAS FAMOUS FOR PICKING THE WRONG PEOPLE ”

     Your comment immediately drew my attention to my own experience dealing with Humankind. We must not forget that both of us came from a very esoteric profession which training was not only focussed on our skills but a thorough re-vamp of our mind-sets. Those who could not stand such rigorous training of both body and mind became dentists !

     And on further reflections, Tun you maybe one of the very few highly qualified doctors in the World for over a hundred years who became a politician and the Prime Minister of a sizable country !

     You mentioned you were famous for picking the wrong people.

     I take this as a general statement which applied to the hoi-polloi type of ordinary folk which came your way and you employed them. This you cannot escape because whichever way you tossed the coin, you always get the same selection which actually reflected on how Humankind behave.

     And on this point, you also picked the best. Why ?

     These two gentlemen NEVER CHANGED THEIR CHARACTERS THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD THEY WERE OF SERVICE TO THE COUNTRY. They eschewed GREED AND WANTON MATERIAL DESIRES. AND WITH THE HIGHEST IQ. And always religious. I knew one of them since he was 21 and how he succeeded with his mind without borders and common sense. The other who is no longer with us, also did not change his character when confronted with POWER and MONEY. He was religious as well throughout the period I knew him, He served you well,

     Tun. Sorry to say, out of the many, ONLY TWO OUTSTANDING GENTLEMEN WITH HIGH INTELLIGENCE, COMMON SENSE AND ABSOLUTE LOYALTY WERE ASSOCIATED WITH YOU. The rest thought they were your goodself and assumed the Powers which you had as Prime Minister during the 22 Year Administration. AND MADE TONS OF MONEY BEHIND YOUR BACK which is no secret at all.

     Like you, I found that Humankind are difficult to deal with because their characters and behaviour changed depending on the circumstances. Most of them when they were very poor behave in one way and when they became rich behaved in another way.

     Then your famous closest aide who collects Stradivarius violins at US$ 5 Million a piece and banks – in the mid-1980s, he boasted after a round of golf with Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Goh Keng Swee and his crew at the Singapore Island Golf Club, ‘ I have the ears of the good and the great in KL.’ My cousin was there and reported to me, ‘ Who is this fellow who talks like that ?’

     In 1992, the very same closest aide demanded that I resigned immediately from Cycle & Carriage Ltd Singapore and Cycle & Carriage Bintang Berhad using your NAME after you through your Office appointed me to restructure the Group in 1984 which I succeeded by 1992. I knew he wanted to be the Director so that he could sell the best properties in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur cheap and without valuation to his buddies, one in Hong Kong and the other in Kuala Lumpur ! I immediately resigned so that I catch this crook in the Annual Reports of both companies for 1993 and 1994 ! His crooked deed is now engraved in stone.

     Tun, you did not pick the wrong people. EXCEPT FOR ONLY TWO, THEY ALL CHANGED WITH POWER FROM YOU AND EASY MONEY AS A RESULT. It is only human from my own personal experience.

     We live and let live, Tun as doctors.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

278. Tun

     What more can I say ? We are all so near to 2019 and yet it seems so far away even though the clock is ticking out the year 2018 as fast as it could do so.

     And again what more can I say which sound extremely cliché loaded with platitudes ?

     Yet, I will say it because it is the Truth and has an important bearing on you Tun as a brilliant and courageous PERSON of sound mind and body.

     The following are what I respect you the most which you held consistently as Principles of Justice your whole Life Long without hesitation or deviation thus :-

     1. Your Principles of Good Governance which bloomed on 9 May 2018 due to your brilliance and courage and belief in Justice and Fair-play

     2. The Water Agreement of 1962.

     3. The National Car Project

     4. NO MORE CORRUPT CLOSEST AIDES WHO COULD BUY a Stradivarius violin at US$5 MILLION A PIECE AND COLLECT BANKS BEHIND YOUR BACK.

     5. The Crooked Bridge

     6. Look East Policy

     7. Sovereignty and National Interest

     8. No problem with your Ministers.

     9. Only Malays can save the Malays.

     I like the comment, ‘ ONLY MALAYS CAN SAVE THE MALAYS ‘ The finest comment which needs a simple explanation on a very complicated human subject. This is how I look at this subject matter since 1954 !

     There is nothing wrong with the Malays. They are the same as any other type of people. Those who know some of these other peoples would know these could be worse if not very bad.

     I will only highlight the good points concerning the Malays at the present time :-

     1. Fortunately, there is a huge Middle Income Group of 6 Million Malay Families created by our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s single efforts 1981-2003. This is the best base to establish a take-off for Unity and Success of the Malays. Most of them use and understand English. But some avoid doing this because of Politics.

     This Malay Bulwark is equivalent to progressive and democratic India’s 350 Million Middle Income Group of English speaking Indians who now leads India’s fast socio-economic progress in the 21st Century.

     Last night I saw a TV film about the Indian Air Force. The recruits were from the Middle Income Group and all spoke English very well. They were a credit to India.

     2. Malaysia is fortunate to be able to help all farmers, fishermen and small holders like Switzerland and Japan. These two respective countries are the countries our beloved Malaysia should emulate. This group of farmers, fishermen and small-holders form the original and national backbone of the political structure of Malaysia which are also the backbone of the Constitution, and support our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans through our democratically elected Federal and State Governments.

     It is from the font of farmers, fishermen and small holders and the kampongs which in time become A MIDDLE INCOME GROUP AND FURTHER ADD TO THE STRENGTH OF THE MALAY BULWARK.

     Like in Switzerland and Japan where you cannot find a POOR farmer, fisherman or small-holder. THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILTY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Not collecting 12,000 pieces of jewellery, 500 handbags, 400 watches and fridge filled with Lindt in the house. The Will and Work of the Rakyat will drive our beloved Malaysia forward. Without the Malays working as a team. THE NON-MALAYS CANNOT PROGRESS AND MOVE FORWARDS OR UPWARDS. This is a fact. It is in the Constitution.,

     AND WHAT WAS DUE TO THE WHOLE NATION, THE FARMERS, THE FISHERMEN THE SMALL-HOLDERS AND ALL WERE STOLEN BY THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND NON-CARING BN GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF TIME, EFFORT AND MONEY FROM 2004-2018.

     Money we can always earn by hard-work. It was the TIME we lost due to total enjoyment by the BN Leadership and its elites at the Rakyat’s expense 2004-2018 that REALLY HURT !

     3. POLITICS CONCERNING THE MALAYS SHOULD BE STRICTLY SEPARATED FROM NON-POLITICAL ACTIVITIES. In other words, those Malays who want to be Politicians should not be involved in business and vice-versa. UMNO was a bad case of mixed personalities whom at the end, the Rakyat could not differentiate money making Politicians from Business Persons.

     4. A BALANCED EDUCATION FOR ALL IS THE BEST WITH SPECIAL EFFORTS TO UPLIFT THE RURAL STUDENTS WITH DORMITORIES AND PLACES IN THE BEST SCHOOLS IN TOWNS WHICH WERE DONE BEFORE BUT NOW FORGOTTEN !

     And wasted money by setting up the absurd NS by the Corrupt BN Leadership to make CORRUPT MONEY ! The excuse was Singapore is also doing this. This should be abolished and the MONEY diverted to the Rural students to UPLIFT THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. No need to down the standards of our excellent universities for them !

     5. Franklin D Roosevelt. ‘ THE ONLY THING WE HAVE TO FEAR IS FEAR ITSELF. ‘

     This phrase should now be adopted by all Malays because they are Normal and have nothing to fear. And do not believe all those rubbish talk from the South the only source I have noted for a Life-time. This is inhumane and cruel to use such crude tactics to down another Group.

     6. The Malays Mindset. This can be overcome if the right information is available at hand and the benefit of a BALANCED EDUCATION.

     If the sincere efforts of the New and Incorruptible Government begin today, Malaysia with her fine body of Malays, Chinese, Indians and all will be up there with the Greats Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan within 25 years.

     WE HAVE ALREADY WASTED 14 YEARS 2004-2018 DUE TO THE CRASS AND WANTON BN GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP AND ITS ELITES WHICH WENT FOR TOTAL ENJOYMENT OF MATERIAL PLEASURES NAD DESIRES. The whole Establishment was involved.

     Yes Tun ! You were consistent and correct in you admonitions to the Rakyat. Politics must be separated from the rest if progress and unity are to be achieved. THIS APPLIES TO ALL OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. The Malays will be united and strong with your Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side. Together we will all succeed, NORMALLY.

279. Tun

     I suppose in Politics, a political Leader would often meet up with personalities who could change their loyalties and colour at the drop of a ringgit.

     In my lifetime, I have observed the rise and fall of many tycoons, Tan Sris and Datuks of all shades and colours. This is the kaleidoscope of the Malaysian Society at the upper-level. This is also part of the political and socio-economic make-up after Merdeka.

     In the British Administration days of yore, no one got any medal of importance except the odd JPs given out here and there.

     My father was the first to get a JP after successfully calming down the miners strike during a recession in 1920 after the Great World War 1914-1918.

     It was only after our Merdeka, the awards and favours were given out. Through the years, this practice by the Federal and State Governments increased the largesse.

     It is alleged that all decorations at least at the Federal Government level, the quota was restricted by Gazette. But this limit for Tan Sris was broken at least over 25 years ago as was alleged

     For example, when I was honoured with a medal in the mid-1970s by the Yang-Di-Pertuan Agong, there were only 8 other recipients.

     But today 2018, at least 40 others were so bestowed with the same medal.

     I know of a friend who is a Tan Sri, JMN, KMN, was able to get Datukships even of 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class from all the 13 States. I could guess his magic formula. This is like collecting 12,000 pieces of jewellery, 500 hand-bags, 400 watches and RM 113 Million cash and the fridge filled with Lindts in the house.

     But the controversial gentleman in question today has an extremely short history which again, I was a close observer. Here is the TRUTH.

     In 1984, the Mercedes E Class was launched at the Glenmarie Resort. I was the Director of Cycle & Carriage Bintang Berhad. I walked up to this gentleman with a wig, standing near the car with my outstretched hand. He turned his face and walked away. I took note. Later, a Bumiputra approached me to secure this gentleman’s BBDO Cycle & Carriage Portfolio. I did not co-operate on ethical and propriety grounds.If I had done so, this gentleman would be sucking eggs today. Through the outstanding late Tan Sri Basir Ismail, he was introduced to Tun M who later introduced this gentleman with pigeon eyes to Nelson Mandela. Thai is all there is to the extremely short history of this controversial gentleman with pigeon eyes who revealed his true character in recent years.

     However, this controversial gentleman is not alone with pigeon eyes.

     There was another who joined Gerakan and could not find a place under the Gerakan Sun and hopped over to MCA’s Lee Kim Sai group, In MCA, he could not succeed because he was English educated.

     In 1992, at Sime Darby’s Hari Raya Party and I was a Director of Sime Darby. I was early and walked up to this gentleman who resembled the High Commissioner of Singapore, standing by the poolside at Glenmarie Resort. I walked up to him and asked, ‘ Are you the High Commissioner of Singapore.’ Without a word and without a smile he turned his face and walked away. Later, this fellow by being a bag carrier, latched his wagon to the incumbent Power in the Land as an organiser of sorts who later became a Tan Sri Dato Seri, Dr, JP etc. and hitched his fortunes to the CHINA wagon. After the 9 May 2018 GE, he seemed to have emigrated. Another gentleman with an extremely short history.

     Here are the true very short histories of two ambitious Malaysian Chinese born with pigeon eyes who did it their Way. What to do ? I am not a Tan Sri, Dato Seri or JP ? So I live and let live as I am exceedingly happy and satisfied with my own Life formula !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Live and let live with the Truth Our histories are always longer than our shadows. But for some, their histories are different..

280. Tun

     As I was waiting for the Grab taxi to arrive, I sat for a short-while near the front entrance of my garden and reflected on the thoughts of yesteryear. A squirrel scampered by, a pair of magpies flew by doing a duet, my neighbour’s cat was padding softly by looking for her prey and the resident bulbul in the young banyan tree gave a chirp and flew away hopefully not forever.

     Naturally at this time of the year, the year’s end, our thoughts turn to reflections of major events which happened. In the case of our beloved Malaysia it was the downfall of the giant whose feet were made of clay and was so corrupt that there was no will to stand and fight. The collapsed giant just gave up without a whimper – the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018.

     This epic collapse could only nudge a person to recall other similar collapses as well.

     Through the thousands of years of the History of Humankind, hundreds of similar collapses have been recorded in the books or engraved in stone. The collapses of glittering empires due to the weakness and follies of the Rulers were legend. The betrayals and the greed were always recorded somewhere, somehow.

     The collapse of the Roman Empire due to internal decay. The collapse of the Ming Dynasty due to betrayal. The collapse of the British Empire with its rise and fall of over-expansion. The collapse of the 1,000 year Third Reich of Hitler’s Germany was due to over-expansion by a mad man. And so such historical tales could go on and on.

     The collapse of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its elites was without a peer. The Leader shot himself in the foot by not avoiding the simple pleasures of Life which was taken more than a full flood but many floods.

     The whole Power Pyramid was drowned in Greed and Wanton Desires and collapsed.

     Highly educated personalities were caught as well and paid the price for their insouciance. Even money-losing MAS bought 4th rate works of art.

     How could anyone forget in 2018 such a pathetic scene of a Pyramidal Power Structure manned by corrupted digits could collapse in a jiffy ?

     The only good which came out of all these was the fact that our beloved Malaysia’s iconic and core institutions, the military, PDRM, Bank Negara Malaysia, EPF etc stood this momentous test without wavering.

     As a result, with a peaceful change of Power, our beloved Malaysia can now look forward as one of four of the most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia from 9 May 2018.

     Malaysia with such a strong foundation can now trek rapidly upwards and towards the likes of the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan as led by the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great.

     Malaysia due to her peoples had become unique with her Leader, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad the Man of the Year for Asia if not the World.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. It is time Malaysia’s Leadership keeps on smiling and smiling. The Polls will smile with you !

281. Tun

     At last this morning has a clear blue sky with not a wisp of cloud to be seen anywhere – typical of a December day without the North-East Monsoon which will not come again for another 12 months. We now look forward towards the New Year of 2019. And pundits are already predicting the events to come, thus :-

     1. Nikkei Review. ‘ Mahathir’s deep dilemma for 2019.’

     The article focussed on the usual political sensitive themes which are normally highlighted by socio-economic events if these are of a negative nature.

     With the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great, there is every opportunity for our beloved Malaysia to avoid the dilemma as mentioned above due to the utter subsidence of crass Corruption. Every sen in the Government coffers has nearly a full value. Unlike under the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 and its elites which walloped every sen that was available without thought or due consideration. This left our Malaysian economy in tatters and dry with so much money siphoned out overseas from the System.

     There is every chance under our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad that Malaysia’s dilemma maybe avoided if the general economy picks up even one iota. Man proposes. God disposes.

     2. The Star, ‘ GLC’s debt levels up. ‘

     This is a bottomless pit for the New and Incorruptible Government. No one really knows how much debt has been incurred by the GLCs where there are hundreds of them administered by amateurs. The crows will only come home to roost when trouble comes. Until then…… we crossed our fingers.

     These GLCs are the real danger to the Government’s Budget and coffers. The debts are like the tip of an ice-berg which are hidden by malfeasance and all sorts of illegal practices un-checked by the BN Government 2004-2018. The whole System was rotten from TOP to BOTTOM. This is the real danger with multiple layers of cover up by crooks.

     Until the Corruptions are revealed layer by layer, no one really knows how much DEBT is owed by the New and Incorruptible Government via the GLSC’s.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Together we will overcome all dilemmas.

     As I was saying the North-East Monsoon seemed to have ebbed away a week ago. But surprisingly, its signs are still with us this morning exhibiting the final gasps of a reluctant phenomenon. Such is the climate these days caused by the wanton destruction of the environment by Humankind around the World.

     But our day strikes us with the reality of the fact that Life goes on and will not wait for us, especially for the rich and indolent, thus :-

     1. ‘ Asia News Network proposed Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as Runner-up Man of the Year.’

     I am of the opinion that without journalistic bias, Tun Dr Mahathir should rank First together with the 2 BBC journalists now in jail in Myanmar. It seemed the judges were influenced by emotions and not by facts.

     The history of a person is the finest arbiter of the Truth from which there is no escape. And that’s a record of a life-time of good or bad deeds. Like the other media, there should be no runner-ups. It is either all or nothing. In Asia News Network case, it smells of travesty of justice.

     2. ‘SUITOR FOR UEM SUNRISE ?’

     It is not only timely but also an opportunity for the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great to divest all those non-essential GLCs created by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government by rote.

     An elected Democratic Government has no business to do business to make money for the Rakyat.

     The Rakyat have many entrepreneurs to make money.

     It is never equitable for politicians to wield Power on the one hand and make Money on the other leaving no room for the Private Sector to breathe. This is called Communism or Authoritarian Capitalism. Only 3 countries in the World practise this eg. Singapore, Russia and China.

     GLCs in any Society is a cancer of Corruption which spreads and spreads affecting the whole Body Politik of a Nation as we saw to our cost with the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government 2004-2018 and its spawn, the hundreds of GLCs at Federal and State levels involved in raw Corruption..

     I have been saying for many years, the best way to dispose of the GLCs is :-

     1. Offer to the incumbent Management and new shareholders.

     2. Offer to the previous owners if they did no wrong legally.

     3. Offer to new and independent buyers if these have reputable records.

     As it is, the New and Incorruptible Government has enough to govern the Rakyat. The time and risks of making money should be left to the Rakyat. The more Malaysian entrepreneurs around the better. This is what the Malaysian Style Democracy is about.

     Tun and his associates like all to be rich and not exclusive like the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and its elites.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! All Malaysians deserve to be rich and should not have their Wealth stolen from them by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leadership and its elites 2004-2018.

     The latest headline from Singapore does not look good, thus

     ‘SINGAPORE OVERALL AND CORE INFLATION EASE IN NOVEMBER.’

     Quote,’ Both overall and core inflation came under economists expectations of 0.6 per cent and 1.9 per cent respectively according to consensus forecasts compiled by Bloomberg. The fall is due to a culminating of lower car prices, a fall in Certificate of Entitlement premiums and a smaller rise in petrol prices. The triple whammy of factors led to the steep decline in this category since July 2016 according to the Department of Statistics.’ Unquote.

     Quote, ‘Singapore headline or overall inflation fell to 0.3 per cent in November, a six week low. Core inflation also slowed to 1.7 per cent from 1.9 per cent in October according to MAS and MTI ‘ Unquote.

     With all due respect, we wish Singapore and its economy well. But now facing the realities of the World’s market place in a globalised World’s economy, head winds and cold winds are bound to blow and affect Singapore first and Malaysia later.

     The above mentioned facts show that Singapore’s economy is slowly contracting with a drop in the purchasing power of her citizens. With the loss of that wonderful source of Revenue of the Cold War 1948-1989, the Black Under Counter Trades in arms etc, Singapore had found it difficult if not impossible to fill this void since the 1990s. This erupted in 2002.

     From this date 2002 to 2018, Singapore’s economy could not breach 3 per cent exclusive of inflation. Lee Kuan Yew’s four Initiatives to save Singapore and leave behind a credible legacy for his inheritors failed eg the ill-conceived Temasek, FT importation to boost the GDP, the 2 casinos and the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP.

     In other words, Singapore had been living on borrowed time and on the huge reserves from the Cold War 1948-1989 since she lost that Black Under Counter Trades to the BRICS from 1990. In October 2008, Singapore lost officially US$ 108 Billions on Wall Street and the City. How much will Singapore lose during this current down turn is the question ?

     Singapore now with a contracting economy and another possible loss on Wall Steet is faced with a Hobson’s choice of an early GE and new approach to policies after this. Hopefully, Singapore will realise that her decades old obsession with her nemesis Malaysia is a waste of time and money. And a dangerous distraction as is now proven. Singapore got peanuts by dealing with CORRUPT AND WEAK BN LEADERSHIPS 2004-2018 eg. water, rocks, sand, steel rails etc. These stuff is for Mickey Mouse.

     The difference between Men and Boys is the quality of their toys.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     This day, Christmas, the 25th of December 2018 is the most momentous for the World because on the 24th, Christmas Eve, the NYSE continued its collapse of the Dow Jones Indices for 4 consecutive days.

     American pundits have come out in droves giving the reasons for this spectacular collapse and with it eventually the American economy even though the Treasury officials have said in no certain terms that the Stock Exchange and the Economy are not connected. But whatever the reason, confidence by investors have been lost.

     What happens in America will affect us in Malaysia eventually .

     Our factories hold orders from America at least 12 months in advance. America’s economy is 30% of the whole World. The economies of China, Japan and Germany are way below this.

     And the present Trump Administration has forgotten that after the Crash of the NYSE in October 2008, the Fed had to stimulate the whole of the Western Capitalist World System by 3 Quantitative Easings which were delicately managed until now. And this huge influx of money, US$ 3 Trillion held up the World’s Stock Exchanges and commodities exchanges since 2008 without which all would have collapsed.

     The result of the Dow Jones dropping by 630 points on Christmas Eve is the culmination of the Sino-US Trade War, the increase of 25 basis points by the Fed on Thursday 20 December 2018, the general unhappiness of the flip-flop Policies of Trump. The Dow Jones had already peaked high previously and investors were only waiting for the opportunity to bail out coupled with the unhappiness of investors in major countries like Russia and China.

     The happiness and well-being of a country very much depends on the top leadership, President or Prime Minister.

     Hence, it must now be recognised that the skills and knowledge of one successful Leader are not transferrable to another.

     In the case of our beloved Malaysia, the Leaders of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 lacked the requisites to lead due to the absence of the proper experience and education which not only encompass local issues but most importantly international issues as well. Sadly, there was the PROPENSITY TO BE CORRUPT CONCOMITANTLY !

     The Rakyat lost 14 years of benefits in terms of a better salary and life-style due to this utter neglect !

     The performance of Trump magnifies the poor Political Leadership of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government a thousand times at least. Trump’s history speaks for itself.

     Why are the personal qualities of a Leader so important ?

     Apart from Corruption which all now know its true meaning, all the ingredients of a successful Policy are first gathered in the mind which then propounds the Policy, correct or incorrect. Training in the use of the mind whether by education which is the normal course or by hands on training, is an absolute must do. For a person who actually knows nothing and pushed into Leadership without the proper training can only invite unmitigated disaster ! This happened to our beloved Malaysia 2004-2014. For example the GLCs were adopted by rote !

     How many Malaysians are aware that Malaysia had adopted an Open Policy for investors since 1957 ?

     How many Malaysians are aware that all the goods from countries other than Britain were not available before Merdeka 1957 ? All Malaya’s goods were imported via the Empire Preference System. Only selected items like Coca Cola (1949), Dutch chocolates, etc could be imported due to certain arrangements by the British with the Americans and the Dutch. Today, because of the Open Door Policy, the expensive British goods have been forced out by other cheaper alternatives.

     And with the Open Door Policy in trade, we have the Foreign Direct Investment or FDI which sets up businesses and factories to provide jobs to the Rakyat. This began in the 1960s.

     From the Open Door Policy and the FDI, the Federal Government gets its Revenue partially and the balance from the exports of Malaysian natural resources and goods and services.

     From the total Revenue, the Federal Government spends on building infra-structures like schools, roads, hospitals, etc for the Rakyat. The contractors and sub-contractors are paid and they spend in the open market place which money continue to have a snow-ball effect benefitting all the Rakyat.

     But the Deputy Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr Wan Azizah pointed out the other day that our beloved Malaysia lost RM 47 Billion through CORRUPTION.

     In other words, instead of this money being properly spent and passed into our General Economy via proper spending as mentioned above to benefit the Rakyat, THE RM 47 BILLION WERE STOLEN IN CASH BY VARIOUS MEANS OUT OF THE MALAYSIAN ECONOMY AND DEPOSITED OVERSEAS TO BENEFIT THE HOST COUNTRIES ! Vide. 1MDB.

     An international Survey reported that between 2002-2010, ONE TRILLION RINGGITS WERE SIPHONED OUT OF MALAYSIA !

     The above facts explain why our Malaysian Economy is so sluggish today. And coupled with the looming issues to come in 2019, a New and Incorruptible Government as led by our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and his Team by his side can only save our beloved Malaysia.

     The convicted perpetrators of CORRUPTION must return ALL THE STOLEN MONEY AS STIPULATED IN A LAW TO BE PROMULGATED. This is justice and fair play for the Rakyat.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     It is with a heavy heart which I comment today on the calamitous tsunami disaster at Banten at the tip of Sumatra, Indonesia.

     My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families of the victims. This was a tragedy without a peer. A disaster which occurred at the height of a festive celebration and recorded to happen before our very eyes.

     A few months ago, another tragedy happened in Sulawesi and earlier than this there was the volcano in Bali which fortunately failed to erupt. Indonesia is a huge place sited at the southern region or the Ring of Fire.

     Who can predict when any earthquake or tsunami will happen or strike but only with the latest scientific equipment ?

     Maybe Malaysia proposes through your good Leadership, Tun as an ASEAN and also UN effort to assist our friend and neighbour and other afflicted countries to set up a series of monitoring units at key areas in Indonesia and other countries in the Region via. THE ASEAN EARTHQUAKE MONITOR INSTITUTE. As a matter of our common grieve at the loss of the lives of innocent men, women and children which could have been prevented by modern scientific means.

     This will be ASEAN’s very first co-operation between countries for REAL. Prevention is better than cure, Tun a subject in which you are an expert.

     With the tragedy at the Sunda Strait, I cannot help but to think of the night of 7 February 1942 when as a small boy I could see the lighthouse and its light beams swept eerily the horizon from the tip of Sumatra whilst I was standing on the deck of the Free French MV Felix Roussel. It was completely dark as the ship fled at full speed from the pursuing Japanese Imperial Army. That very morning a flight of 17 Mitsubishi Bettys bombed our convoy consisting of the SS Devonshire and the HMIS Sutlej and an Australian destroyer. Their flak kept the bombers high. and missed. Once the ship sailed through the Sunda Strait, it was the safety of the Indian Ocean for us. There hanged this tale, Tun.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! With your ASEAN Leadership Tun, we can do something to save lives in the future together !

     It was with great happiness that I saw the headline in the media this morning, thus :-

     ‘ Goh Chok Tong – LEAVE THEM ALONE. ‘

     Here is a Singaporean, a wise Singaporean who uses his common sense, logic and wisdom to say what is proper and appropriate in international diplomacy concerning Sovereignty and National Interest, concerning long time friends.

     Here is a Gentleman, a Singaporean Gentleman whom we Malaysians and the whole World should respect and admire. A gentleman who speaks his own MIND.

     I have been observing Mr Goh’s service to Singapore for many years and found he behave quite normally without pretensions. And he had managed to keep this difficult posture as a normal person after being lavished with all the Powers of the State.

     MR GOH CHOK TONG IS THE MAN TO LEAD SINGAPORE ONCE AGAIN. HE IS THE SINGAPOREAN DENG XIAO PENG. THE DENG XIAO PENG OF THE PAP WHICH I AND MAYBE ALL MALAYSIANS WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM PRIME MINISER AGAIN.

     Singapore with Mr Goh Chok Tong now has hope for sustainability and great success to develop its underlying potential for the future.

     Why not ? The expectations of Life these days are at least 100.

     Mr Goh has at least another 25 years to go twiddling his thumbs doing NOTHING IN THE INTEREST OF SINGAPORE, ASEAN AND THE WORLD. And he is FIT AS A FIDDLE LIKE OUR BELOVED TUN DR MAHATHIR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND TUN DAIM ZAINUDDIN ! What more do Singapore’s citizens want ?

     A gentleman already made and experienced to be the NEXT PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF SINGAPORE WHICH HAS A EXCELLENT GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SERVICE, GOOD PEOPLE AND INFRA AND THE BEST OF ALL LEE KUAN YEW’S GOODWILL AND CREDITS WITH THE SUPERPOWERS OF THE WORLD ! The latter should be utilised before all are forgotten.

     Not only all those platitudes and attributes, MR GOH HAS THE CHARISMA TO BE A PRIME MINISTER. This is the most important asset of a politician. As we have seen in this World, no sports champion can have the face of a fool as no politician should have the face of an idiot !

     Suddenly out of the blue, MR GOH CHOK TONG JUST SAID A THREE WORDS,’ LEAVE THEM ALONE.’

     Yes Tun ! Mr Goh Chok Tong’s few words, ‘ LEAVE THEM ALONE’ ARE THE MOST FAMOUS WORDS FOR 2018 ! SINGAPORE’S BEST !

     Let us all hope the New Year 2019 will bring forth for Singapore and for the good of MALAYSIA, ASEAN AND THE WORLD, SINGAPORE’S VERY OWN DENG XIAO PENG TO JOIN HANDS AND MOVE NOT ONLY FORWARD BUT UPWARDS WHICH WE ARE ALL CAPABLE with clean hands and minds without those rubbish and filthy toys so fond of the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018. And the narcissistic quotations of Lee Kuan Yew are left behind forever. This is Realpolitik with realism.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     As the North East Monsoon slowly fades with the receding days of the year, our Malaysian mornings exude a charm all of its own being calm, dull and cool.

     Early mornings are one of the best times in our beloved Malaysia. And in the old days, the few hours before dusk were memorable along the main trunk road as we hurried home from outstation. These days instead of the highways, we have to seek out the nostalgic scenes of dusk of yesterday out in the countryside where the cows, chicken and villagers on bicycles still roam.

     I was dreaming about yesterday when nasi lemak was only 30 sen and a bowl of mee 80 sen.

     Today, a similar equivalent for the former is RM 3 and the latter RM 7 respectively. What happened ?

     The learned economists would point out that this is all due to INFLATION – a bad word in economics. In other words, the value of the ringgit has depreciated from 1960 to 2018. Or the goods and services produced by Malaysia are outpaced by the printing of money by Bank Negara Malaysia.

     Pre-1972, Malaysia followed the Currency Board precepts in which a country spends what it earns. A British Colonial Policy which was not conducive to an independent country which seeks development in the National Interest. Under this Policy, at times like this, there would have been a severe recession.
     /
     This little bit of information on goods and services also reveal that between 1948-1990, Singapore could produce a surplus way above the average statistical economics of a tiny place.

     With brainwashing, most pundits thought all these were derived from Indonesian smuggling. But as it is now discovered, this huge surplus was due to the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1990 which pushed Singapore from the Third to the First World. It was no Lee Kuan Yew Miracle.

     And the most eye-catching headline, today thus :

     ‘ Tun Daim : Do not be distracted by the debts. Keep an eye on inflation.’

     This cautionary advice is timely and wise.

     How many Malaysians remember about the Japanese Occupation 1942-1945 ?

     How many Malaysians know that Petaling Street in Chinatown in 1946 was full of hawkers selling bundles of Japanese Banana banknotes printed by the Yokohama Specie Bank, British war surplus like K-rations, jungle knives, parachutes etc along a major portion of the street ?

     By the end of the Japanese Occupation on 15 August 1945, the value of Straits Dollar 100 at the beginning on 13 February 1942 had shot up to $ 95,000 in Yokohama Specie Bank Banknotes ! This was due to the non-stop printing of the banknotes by the Japanese to pay for expenses which were not backed by Government revenue and reserves.

     Tun Daim’s timely caution is ‘prevention is better than cure’. It is time for the New and Incorruptible Government to have all the feelers out and monitor the rise and fall of the prices of essential items commonly required by the Rakyat.

     The main item is RICE, not sugar, salt, flour etc. This was one main reason why our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad suggested to set-up food banks.

     During the British Military Administration or BMA 1945-1950, rice ‘ godowns ‘ were established by the authorities. Some Chinese became tycoons by colluding with the storekeepers who had the essential need of the populace in their hands. Monopolistic situations like this always gave rise to corruption without exception.

     It is not so much as the price of petrol which is the priority, it is the price of RICE.

     At the present time and age, any corruption concerning RICE and other essentials should not be tolerated and carefully monitored.

     A successful campaign to keep the prices of essential goods low will be successful in keeping inflation low. This is the area where the New and Incorruptible Government should succeed well given its motivation and inclination.

     Thanks to Tun Daim for his timely caution because INFLATION AFFECTS ALL WITHOUT EXCEPTION and RICE WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE AFFECTED !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

288. https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018/12/22/waytha-responsible-for-temple-fracas-then-shoulder-aff-loss-syed-saddiq-told/

     After the riots at seafield, there is no way mr waytha can escape being the political issue for umno, mic, myppp and pas to reject pakatan harapan.

     A vote loss by ph is a vote gained by umno, mic, myppp and pas.

     Perhaps pm can persuade mr waytha to disolve hindraf and merge with dap penang.

     Letting go unity ministerial position and hindraf for sure will make pm looks more mature and wise in leading the country.

     I sure hope in future ministers are chosen because of their experience, talent and capibility in leading the country.

     If they insist to continue with man prospose, god dispose belief, they are not shooting their feet, they are in fact planting a time bomb in their party that could sink them forever.

     Yesterday is history, thats why we called past tense.

     Tomorrow is mystery, thats why we called future tense.

     Today is gift, thats why we called present tense.

     P/s: whatever usa president is doing now, it wont affect their voting pattern as chinese and indian population are very minimal, but in malaysia, without the votes of chinese and india, no political parties can win with comfortable majority.

     The mornings are becoming dry, bright and breezy again with the subsidence of the North East Monsoon near year’s end.

     Let us hope the New Era for our beloved Malaysia will come with the New Year 2019.

     The odds are that Malaysia can only go up and up after reaching the shameful depth of becoming Singapore’s Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018.

     Not only that the BN Leadership adopted the worst from Singapore – the GLCs, without due thought and consideration and embedded hard core PAP cadres into our Political System. Vide. The PAP cadre in the UMNO NSTP Chief Editor seat. That was our beloved Malaysia’s CRAZIEST MOMENT. Even a hardened political pundit observed that Malaysia is ‘Alice in Wonderland’ by Lewis Carroll.

     And today’s significant headline, thus :-

     ‘ PM : LEARNING ENGLISH DOES NOT MAKE YOU LESS MALAY OR MALAYSIAN.’

     Many Malaysians do not know the facts on this most important knowledge of English to have an advantage to earn a living anywhere in the World.

     In 1969, it was alleged that the Minister of Education changed the English Curriculum in the National Type Schools without Cabinet approval just before the NOC was in place at that time. He disappeared into the Sarawak woods and could not be found when the Tunku was looking high and low or him.

     That was how the English language was displaced by a coup d’état by a recalcitrant Minister without the permission of the Cabinet.

     From 1957 to 1970, English was the language of choice in all the National Type schools, University of Malaya and the Technical College.

     The results of the National Education Policy as from 1970, we can all see today.

     There are the minority who were not affected. But the majority could hardly speak or write English at all. This led to the factual inability for the Government Services to function properly even though the employees are hard-working and keen. From my decades of experience, every level of the Government Sector was affected. And the Private Sector’s experience with those with a lack of command of English is self-explanatory.

     A country which was well-versed in English was brought this low by politicians who spoke no English ! As a result, a large majority of Malaysians are now hampered by the lack of the knowledge of English in a World in which English is the First for advancement of all kinds of occupations. And to understand and be aware what is happening in this wonderful World of ours, not only inside Malaysia but outside too.

     One country which stands out in the use of English is India.

     Since India obtained her Independence in 1947, the English language was not only preserved but also enhanced and improved upon.

     This was a very wise Policy because India has more than 300 dialects on the one hand and also enabled her to reach out to the World on the other. The solid results we can see on our TVs, top US Corporations, British politics, Singaporean executives in MAS, DBS, etc.

     The 350 million English speaking Indians form the ballast for India’s progress and advancement in today’s rough and tumble World of the Cyberspace. And India is one of the World’s leading lights.

     India’s Silicon Valley for Education lies in the Dehra Dun Plateau at the foot of the High Himalayas and rising up to the hill-station of Mussoorie with its prestigious English speaking schools and colleges of all kinds etc, local, American, English etc.

     Our Great Prime Minister Tun Hussein Onn was educated and trained in a cantonment in Dehra Dun.

     This area is also dotted with important research institutes and other training institutes for the training and grooming of India’s future elites.

     It pays for our Minister of Education to visit this interesting educational location established since the 19th Century ! Seeing is believing.

     As for myself, at 7 years I was studying English and Classical Cantonese. From 1942-1945, I could speak Hindi, Urdu and Anglo Indian English whilst I studied Hindi/Urdu in a school run by the Catholics. From 1946-1951, I was back studying English and Classical Cantonese. In 1950-1951, Latin was added. Finally, 1967-1969, Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin ! And in between, bits of German, French and Italian to read the menu and to do other things !

     With all that loaded into me, I am still a Chinaman !

     It is better to learn a language, English or any other language when one is young. There would be less inhibitions or shyness to speak. I reckon a person can learn any language in 3 months if focussed with the right teacher.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Your advice is timely and wise because the Nation has forgotten how it lost its important asset of the Rakyat, the ENGLISH LANGUAGE ! India did not shoot herself in the foot. Malaysia did !

     It is clear, very clear that Mohd. Effendi Aswadi Abdul Wahab, co-ordinator of Bantah TPPA/CPTPP, article in the media ,-

     ‘ WHY CPTPP IS BAD FOR MALAYSIA.’ UNDERLINES OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST WHICH ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE TO REJECT THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER CPTPP !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

291. Tun

     Many kudos to the excellent article in the media by Mohd. Effendi Aswadi Abdul Wahab, co-ordinator of Bantah TPPA/CPTPP.

     My deepest appreciation for his discourse with facts, logic and good English in his argument against ratification of the Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP.

     If our beloved Malaysia has no Malays elites, the non-Malay elites cannot progress and move forward. It will be a grid-lock situation in a land of plenty of talent and natural resources. It is as simple as this, Tun !

     Whereas for years since the exposure of the ultra secret 19 negotiations by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 as led by its Singapore compromised senior Malaysian Civil Servants, I have been revealing the motives and consequences of this last and desperate act by Lee Kuan Yew in terms of broad strokes of the political and socio-economic canvas.

     And now here comes Mohd. Effendi Aswadi’s clear and professional discourse on the details of why the TPPA/CPTPP will be disastrous for our beloved Malaysia.

     FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS, IT IS OBVIOUS THERE ARE MORE FOOLS AMONGST THE BN CROOKS THAN THE GOOD GUYS WHO ARE ACTUALLY IN THE MAJORITY !

     To sell-out and collude with the desperate Singapore looking for LIEBENSRAUM BY PICKING ON THE MALAYSIANS AND THE MALAYS AS EASY FODDER through LEGAL MEANS LIKE COMMITTING HARA KIRI BY THEIR OWN HANDS BY SIGNING THE MALAYSIA/MALAYS KILLER TPPA/CPTPP !

     After years of brainwashing and focussed corruption on Malaysia’s BN Leadership 2004-2018 including the planting of Senior Civil Servants who were obviously in conflict with their hidden loyalties.

     Who can tolerate all these treasonous nonsense ?

     In June 2009, Lee Kuan Yew at the age of 85 showed his anxiety and importance attached to his Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA by visiting the hot and humid Ulus to bolster his digits and troops and even had tea with a lady at a house off Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

     AND WITH CONFIDENCE AND TONGUE IN THE CHEEK HE PAID A VISIT TO OUR GOOD TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AS WELL after an MCA Leader dressed in his finest red Mandarin silks kow-towed to him ! Man proposes. God sisposes.

     Tun, with all the historical facts before us and the fact that as revealed by Mohd. Effendi Aswadi that Canada, Peru and Chile are the only countries to benefit us and also we have hardly any dealings with them, –

     AND UNSAID BY THIS AUTHOR ONLY SINGAPORE BENEFITS BY FLOODING MALAYSIA WITH TARIFF FREE GOODS OVERNIGHT as boasted by the Singapore Business Times in early 2016 in its headline, ‘ SINGAPORE SAVES S$ 1 BILLION FROM MALAYSIA ANNUALLY.’ In other words, Malaysia would have lost minimally S$ 1 Billion annually.

     What sort of Agreement is this TPPA which is worse than the 1962 Water Agreement ?

     Since 9 May 2018, Malaysia as one of four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia, is in a unique position to build up and follow up on our own initiatives WITHOUT BEING LINKED TO AMORPHOUS GROUPS WHICH CONTROL US AND OUR FREEDOMS.

     With this knowledge, our beloved Malaysia should now gear herself up to have INDEPENDENT POLICIES LIKE VISIONARY SWITZERLAND, DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND GOOD GOVERNANCE JAPAN.

     And we stand Proud, Strong and United on our own two feet ! Go away little friend we should say and our beloved Malaysia will not only live another day but FOREVER AND FOREVER !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! This is the finest chance to build a unique Malaysia which will be emulated by the World in time if not tomorrow !

     History is the finest Arbiter of the Truth. And what goes round comes around.

     I am talking about the political fortunes of the Republic of Singapore and how closely this State paralleled the fortunes of the People’s Republic of China too.

     China became a Communist Nation in 1049. From then on, Mao became her Leader and the famous Little Red Book was the guide to follow for all. This Regime did not last forever.

     By 1078, Deng Xiao Peng took over and applied PRACTICAL SOCIO-ECONOMICS WITH A CAPITALISTIC SLANT to up-lift the people from POVERTY – 750 millions were raised from poverty by 2018 ! Deng at first thought Lee Kuan Yew’s half-way house with GLCs between Capitalism and Communism would be the answer. In 1992, he remarked,’ We will do better than them.’ which is now the case.

     In 1978, when China searched for a role model which she thought could be the Singapore Model of Anti Cambridge Godless Neo-communism bolstered by the Apparatchiks (meritocrats) and the West, Singapore’s achievements as seen by the World were near their peak in the 1980s.

     At that time, little did we know that the whole satrap of the success of Lee Kuan Yew WAS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE HUGE BLACK UNDER COUNTER TRADES of the Cold War 1948-1989 eg arms trading, smuggling, money laundering, Vietnam logistics, collecting free Vietnam War debris, toadying up to dictators, sanctions breaking China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East and Africa. US R & R. US ships bunkering, US Aid, etc.

     And with a tiny population of 2 million and an honest Government, this huge largesse pushed Singapore from the 3rd to the 1st World.

     And no one asked since ‘How come Lee Kuan Yew was not lauded by the UN and awarded the Nobel Prize ?’

     It was because the West knew Lee Kuan Yew had blood on his hands. And it was not the GLCs which made Singapore very rich. It was these unmentionable Black Under Counter Trades.

     Our Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 copied WITHOUT THINKING the corruptible GLCs. The huge damage caused by the Malaysian GLCs is now seen by all AND AFFECTED ALL !

     As in 1978 when China was in a dilemma of how best to push the country forward, NOW SINGAPORE HAS BEEN FACED WITH THE SAME DILEMMA SINCE 2002 OF HOW TO PUT SINGAPORE ON THE ROAD TO SURVIVAL AND SUSTAINABILITY ! In 1978, China had the indomitable Deng Xiao Peng.

     IN 2018, HAS SINGAPORE GOT A SINGAPOREAN DENG XIAO PENG ?

     In recent months, the lines which have been emanating from Singapore are similar to the Mao Period of Communist China. Reams of quotations by Modern Singapore’s Founder Lee Kuan Yew were repeatedly reproduced in the media to exhort the citizens. The decades of brainwashing by the Ruler have come home to roost.

     AND THE SOFT PUNCHING BAG TO UNITE THE CITIZENS IS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. Typically, a communist manoeuvre.

     Until a Singaporean Deng Xiao Peng arrives, Malaysia may have to bear the little inconveniences originating from the Republic of Singapore WITH ASEAN’S BEST MILITARY FORCE (the latest spiel from the one-street nation) OK you win folks. We do not quarrel with that !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     An article from the think tank IDEA was published in the media this morning with the headline, thus

     ‘ CPTPP IS GOOD FOR MALAYSIA SAYS THINK TANK ‘. I wonder how one qualifies to be a think tank.

     It is alleged that the Lee Kuan Yew Creation Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP will be good for Malaysia in terms of corporate governance and will not affect the SMEs because these are protected by tariffs.

     First, our beloved Malaysia does not need Lee Kuan Yew to teach us about good corporate governance. On the contrary, we can teach Singapore a thing o two. Our Public Service System was ruined by the digits, not by the System which cannot ruin itself.

     Second, the SME’s will go bankrupt, and the employees lose jobs when overnight the huge flood of Singaporean tariff free goods flood into Malaysia. By the way, the TPPA/CPTPP strips the SMEs naked of TARIFF PROTECTION. This is the nub of Lee Kuan Yew’s intention with the TPPA/CPIPP !

     This is confirmed by the headline in the Singapore Business Times in early 2016 when Malaysia signed the TPPA.

     ” SINGAPORE SAVES S$ 1 BILLION FROM MALAYSIA “. I reckon the figure is more like S$ 2-3 Billions ! In other words our beloved Malaysia loses at least RM 3 Billions every year. Dear Think Tank IDEA if you ever noticed !

     Prof Jomo and a distinguished economics expert at UNCTAD New Delhi do not think the Lee Kuan Yew Creation the Malaysia/Malay Killer TPPA/CPTPP benefits our beloved Malaysia.

     I sincerely hope our Malaysian Think Tanks not only think but also read the Devil in the details in the 50 volumes of the TPPA/CPTPP Agreement – a specialty to trap unwary Malaysians by Lee Kuan Yew like the Water Agreement of 1962 !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun without the Lee Kuan Yew Malaysia/Malays Killer TPPA/CPTPP ! No problem.

294. Tun

     Sorry. Two typo errors. The first should read ‘…..BN Government ‘ not BB. Second, ‘…..illustrated in today’s Financial Review Page 2, 19 December 2018 ‘ instead of 19 May 2018. The errors are much regretted.

295. Tun.

     Many Malaysians are not aware of the great danger which our beloved Malaysia faced on 8 May 2018 just before the collapse of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BB Government 2004-2018.

     Right at that point, the Government revenues were in a free fall with the free for all thefts of Government money and the Malaysia/Malay Killer TPPA/CPTPP waiting to be ratified which would have turned our beloved Malaysia from a Puppet into a Slave.

     Hence, we now have Singaporeans beating war drums and chests and tearing out their hair in frustration and blowing BLUFFOLOGY hot air to boot.

     That point on 8 May 2018 was the culmination of years of NEGLECT by the BN Leadership of the Rakyat’s welfare in jobs and a higher standard of living.

     Lip service was paid only from 2004-2018 by the BN Leadership without doing an iota of work whilst they enjoying themselves at home and abroad at Rakyat’s expense.

     From flashy jets, hotels, yachts, women etc of high living down to turning the Istana Perdana into a glitzy night club complete with imported blondes and champagne.

     Self-indulgence and enjoying themselves like taxi-drivers were the rule of the BN Leadership.

     And on the Policy side there was no Policy but just the attempted overtures to solve problems with absolutely no planning or attempts to gain more investors in the face of determined attempts by Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and The Philippines. As a result, the Federal Government Revenues went down steeper than ever during the petroleum price hike period !

     The sins of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government are best illustrated in today’s Financial Review Page 2 19 May 2019.Hwadline. thus :-

     ‘PERSISTENT DROP IN GOVERNMENT REVENUE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN – WORLD BANK.’

     One Graph showed the steady decline of the Federal Government’s Revenue from 2012. This began years earlier as the reserves from our Tun’s 22 year Administration were being eroded away by thefts, corruption, inaction and GLCs corruption as from 2004.

     The second Graph showed the Federal Government Revenues in comparison with Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, The Philippines etc. Only Laos and Indonesia lost. The latter is undergoing transformation.

     This again confirm that the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THE RAKYAT IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING BETWEEN 2004-2018.

     How could they when the whole cabal was out in the fields in self-indulgence and enjoying themselves like taxi-drivers.

     And when any unconventional Policy like that of the GLCs was queried, the standard and absurd reply was SINGAPORE IS DOING IT ! How stupid that our Sovereignty and National Interest were forgotten and abandoned in the interest of self-indulgence like collecting 12,000 pieces of jewellery and enjoying themselves like taxi drivers with poverty just a couple kilometres up or down the road.

     What better illustrations of the crass neglect of Leadership, duties and responsibilities by the BN Leadership which was elected and trust was given to them by the Rakyat.

     In other words, the whole of our beloved Malaysia would have gone kaput if the BN won after 8 May 2018 by a sudden loss of Revenue coupled with the Malaysia/Malay Killer TPPA/CPTPP ratification. If ICERD has been thrown out, the Malaysia/Malay Killer TPPA/CPTPP should go with it. And yet there was no squeak on the latter (which is REAL and the former is only an IDEA) as instigated by the BN even as our beloved Malaysia was at Death’s Door on 8 May 2018.

     THIS CLEARLY CONFIRM THE COLLUSION BETWEEN THE SINGAPORE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT 2004-2018 WITH THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT AND THE DEEP INVOLVEMENT OF CERTAIN SENIOR MEMBERS OF THE MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT AND CIVIL SERVICE. This is as clear as daylight – this treasonous collusion to sell our beloved Malaysia for free by the stroke of a pen signed by the BN Leadership should not be tolerated !

     This article is a good summary of how our beloved Malaysia was RAPED BY THE BN LEADERSHIP AND BY AT LEAST ANOTHER 200 OF ITS FLUNKEYS AT TWO LEVELS, FEDERAL AND STATE ! Worse than the Rape of the Sabine Women of ancient Rome !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem as long as every one behaves and acts NORMALLY,

296. Tun

     It is good, very good that you brought up the subject of Safe Sex for which you were lauded by the Rakyat. This is a subject which is not only close to our hearts and bodies but lingers in our minds as well. The simple reason basically is that Humankind are no better than animals surviving from the Survival of the Fittest.

     This is also a subject which we knew more than most when we were young students.

     In 1961, I worked as a houseman at the KLGH for RM 401 per month. One of the posts I was assigned to was the Orthopaedic Department. And what did I do apart from mending broken bones ?

     I was the person who rectified the irregular periods of young maidens from all sorts of races from all over the place. If you know what I mean Tun ?

     For the three months duty under no less than under the supervision of the Great Coco Majid, I solemnly and dutifully perform the requisite requirements. I never imagined I would end up as a D & C Specialist at so young an age, Tun ! And you may ask me how many did I do ? Shall I say it or not, Tun ? Not the fingers of my hands, but hundreds in a GH too !

     With such an impact of hundreds of cases which went through my delicate and sensitive hands in 3 months, naturally my thoughts turned to how to prevent more coming to the clinic to have their monthlies rectified and tell the good doctor, ‘ My period didn’t come this month, Doctor.’

     And remember the bizarre incident when a Eurasian gentleman brought his beautiful teenage daughter to the clinic complaining his daughter felled into a drain ? On second thought, he must have thought his daughter was pregnant and was having a miscarriage ! And without much thought, I referred her to the Ops. Afterwards my Boss told me she was with her boyfriend the previous night. My face was as red as a chili !

     In a disparate country like ours, I found there were communal and religious divides overlaid by age-old taboos at the time when I was in action in the 1960s.

     And through the years, I have observed that apart from absent periods of ladies, men, young and old were having NOT SAFE SEX BUT DANGEROURS SEX without any protections. And these supermen boasted about their daring-dos all over the place too.

     Their acts were thoughtless and irresponsible and did not live up to the dictum, ‘ WHATEVER YOU DO OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, DO NOT BRING IT HOME.’ Unintentionally, the spouse causing untold and maybe incurable harm to his/her partner or whoever.

     And can we lay the blame on the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 which Leadership loved self indulgence and enjoyed themselves like taxi-drivers ?

     Of course, if they indulged in these activities all the time, they should have thought about SAFE SEX ALL THE TIME. And yet what did they do ? They did nothing as their wont in enjoying the finest available in Life at the Rakyat’s expense.

     IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA, WITHOUT LEADERSHIP FROM THE TOP NOTHING MOVES.

     Hence, without the important subject of ‘SAFE SEX BEING TAUGHT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME IN OUR SCHOOLS, we get these Supermen acquiring all sorts of venereal diseases from all over the GLOBE if not from all over the country. And with the easy procurement of pornographic materials films or otherwise, we certainly could see the explosive sexual results from decades ago. And the damage to our Family-Society System must have been enormous through time.

     At the end of the day, it is the children who suffer due to the lack of care and consideration by the Head of the family ! Most divorces arose from the IGNORANCE ABOUT SAFE SEX !

     And for those cognoscenti of the Karma Sutra or the Pillow Books of China and Japan, do they know the real reason for their publication ?

     I believe the main reason is to keep the spouse at home trying out the 365 possible in the Karmasutra or those in the Pillow Books because in those days there were no cure for venereal disease. The ancients were wise unlike the brash Malaysian moderns. They were wise. Charity begins at Home as they said.

     And how did Singapore is alleged to view this SAFE SEX POLICY which is one of the very few Public Policies which did not fail Lee Kuan Yew.

     When the PAP achieved a firmer hold on Singapore in the late 1960s, the Government took measures to push all the brothels which were found all over and mixed up with the private messes in high-class areas of Singapore, to Geylang. At the same time, a yellow card was introduced in the late 1960s for hygiene and income tax purposes.

     By the early 1980’s, my limousine driver ex Singapore Police could offer me professional services at Geylang by way of a colour brochure with pictures of interesting equipment !

     At the end of the 1960s, one condo building full of brothels was just 100 metres from Lee Kuan Yew’s house in Oxley Road. He got the Civil Servants to buy them out ! Lee Kuan Yew’s Policy towards SAFE SEX was one which he implemented sensibly in view of the fact that Singapore is a sea port in a tropical isle.

     I SUPPORT YOUR CALL TUN FOR SAFE SEX IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. LIKE ANYONE ELSE. SEX IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF A HUMAN BEING AND SHOULD NOT BE DENIED. But for goodness sake, please play or keep it SAFE. And the best place to learn for all is at the pre-puberty stage in schools beginning with the birds and the bees, and the flying foxes and durian trees, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

297. Tun

     Even though the morning is bright and calm, my heart is filled with sadness as I write due to the knowledge that the young fireman passed away last night. My deepest condolences to his family and next of kin.

     The principals of this dastardly act must be brought quickly to the book and given the heaviest possible because in our beloved Malaysia all such wanton acts against race and religion must be avoided.

     This matter should have been resolved long ago by the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018. But instead the Leadership squandered the Rakyats’ money on women, yachts, jets, Hollywood and New York homes, paintings, diamonds, watches, handbags, cash deposits, etc.

     In our beloved Malaysia today there are still many poor people who find it hard to earn a living because of the flagrant behaviour of the BN Leadership from 2004-2018. How these people achieved such high positions without any care for the Rakyat is no mystery to anyone ? And for the same to self-destruct a whole Establishment inclusive of the elites with the mentality of taxi-drivers ? History now shows that the BN Leadership was no leaders at all but a bunch of ordinary opportunists.

     It is such a situation like this temple incident that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.

     And it is tough for any Government to deal with the consequences after the fatalities if any. And we are all aware that there are many of these time-bombs dotted around Malaysia today. The faster the New and Incorruptible Government defuse them and put these aside the better.

     Whilst I am still on the subject of human conflict, internal or external, a thought suddenly dawned on me that the Singapore Dilemma of survival and sustainability is due to the lack of Leadership to change the mind-set of only 900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50 ! Singapore needs a Singaporean Deng Xiao Peng who could change the mind-sets of 1 Biliion Chinese to reach out to the World which brought China into the 21st Century. Man proposes. God disposes.

     In our beloved Malaysia, we have our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who could turn Malaysia overnight into one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia. And Malaysia is now trekking upwards towards the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

298. Tun

     Congratulations for the high honour bestowed upon you for your Leadership and Services to Humanity by the distinguished Thai University in Bangkok. Only two other persons were so honoured.

     Keep smiling Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. The whole World will smile with you.

     In recent weeks, comments in the media alleged that Singapore raised the spectre of Malaysia as a bogeyman to unite and prepare her citizens for a GE in 2019.

     If this is so alleged, then, it seems those responsible resorted to dragging out the 20th Century baggage of failed Singapore daring-dos in Malaysia like the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP.

     However, this is the 21st Century in which information flies in nano-seconds in Cyberspace at the touch of a button. Unlike the 20th Century in which Lee Kuan Yew could control the media with just a couple of phone calls.

     All these negatives aside, as a friend of Singapore, maybe it is time for the Leadership to have tea and fine Malaysian cuisine with our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who has many ideas for mutual benefit. I reckon he had more selfies taken in the last 100 days than the last 100 months ! I guarantee he would not eat any Singaporean for breakfast despite being portrayed as some sort of Malaysian ogre by some Singaporean quarters.

     In 1974, without telling anyone, I went to see the brilliant Mrs Lee Kuan Yew to seek her support after the Malaysians ran out of money in the pursuit of Sime Darby which was my 1972 Concept to fast trek the Malays into big business and give the Chinese the leeway to do business with the support of the Great Statesman and YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. I stressed both countries would benefit which was indeed the case. The Sime Darby boom despite its Management in Malaysia and Singapore ran its course for 15 years concomitant with our Tun’s Administration which created the all important 6 million families of middle-income Malays ! Such was the brilliance of Tun and Mrs Lee Kuan Yew who had a clarity of mind and quick understanding of the issues.

     That was 45 years ago. And between 2004-2018, the Malaysian Leaders were not only self-indulgent but enjoyed themselves like taxi-drivers.

     With a population of 640 million of hard-working and dynamic peoples, Malaysia and Singapore with its fine Government and Civil Service, Lee Kuan Yew’s credits and goodwill with the World, logistics and good people should be the first natural NEXUS of socio-economic endeavour plus Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines to conquer the 21st Century World in step with the Super Powers. What is better than this ? I see great opportunities are coming ASEAN WAY.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always. No problem.

299. Tun

     Some politicians and journalists seem to behave like as though they live forever and ever to Eternity. These are human beings just like you and me. These are the people with soft minds and body who in their younger age now think they are supermen or Teflon men. You and me we have seen it all. From our First Term facing our subject matter to the present. Those who could not face the subject matter became dentists.

     These politicians and journalists seemed to revel in picking on a subject which they think they cannot lose. I can prove them wrong, Tun.

     I have a List of 65 persons who either died young or their wives and children died after they harmed me who helped them. I have another List in which my friends became mighty rich and powerful.

     I drew up these Lists as I became more senior and reflected on events.

     The Lists revealed conclusions which I never thought about before

     Why some people who thought I die before them, died ? Why my friends become so rich and powerful ? With such knowledge, I became very humble, kept a low profile and kept on with my good works like you Tun, helping people always.

     I had 11 brothers who were all dead before 80. They were fortunate not to raise a finger to do any work. I had a sister who just died at 100. She had a normal and active life and was driving her car up to 92. Other sisters died at 93, 94 and 96.

     I ALWAYS TELL MY FRIENDS THAT WORKING HARD AND SUFFERING FOR IT WILL NOT KILL THEM. BUT IDLENESS WILL SURELY KILL THEM. The killing could be MENTAL in which the brain just deteriorates in its function with no activity which you understand very well Tun.

     Like the other day, there was a ruckus about a young lady who made some comments in the media on a rally. MY FIRST AND ONLY REACTION WAS THAT ‘HERE’S AN INTELLIGENT YOUNG LADY WHO USES HER BRAIN TO THINK.’ What is more beautiful than this, Tun.

     Here are some snippets of my experiences in Life.

     1. In the second week of December 1941, I was in my family estate bungalow in North Johor. Early one morning with sunshine and blue sky. I heard the sound of a plane flying in the direction of the house. There were the banging on a motorcar wheel rim to warn all. My maid servant pulled me out of the house, past the rubber trees to the air-raid shelter amongst them. As the plane roared just above the trees, I saw red roundels on its sides and wings. I heard the sound of fire-crackers and the leaves were whistling. If the plane had dropped a bomb. I would not be here.

     2. We fled to Singapore. A bomb felled on the garden of our house in Ridout Road. I could retrieve the shrapnels out of the tembusu trees and the walls of the house.

     3. On the morning of 7th February 1942, our ship the Free French MV Felix Roussel was in convoy with the SS Devonshire and two destroyers HMIS Sutlej and an Australian destroyer passing the Banka Strait. A flight of 17 Mitsubishi Betty bombers flew overhead to bomb us. They missed because they had to fly high overhead due to the flak from the destroyers.

     4. Fast trek to 1951, a year of great fear in Malaya due to the Communist Insurgency. I was sitting in front of my classmate Yee Mun Too. Suddenly there was a loud bang. A bullet passed through my wooden desk. Yee a Sutton auxiliary policeman was fiddling with his revolver which went off. A couple of inches in the wrong direction, I would not be here.

     5. In the same year 1951, I went for my mandatory $ 1 hair-cut at the Wembley Hair Salon at Medan Pasar. It is still there. I stepped out of the pavement. An old man on a bicycle hit me on my right side. I felled with no injuries.

     6. In 1959, I was cruising with my English friend along the North London Road to the University to sit for my Finals. As I overtook a car, a lorry suddenly swerved onto the middle lane and missed us by a whisker. My friend’s face turned deathly pale and whispered,’ Oh Charley ” I must be his hot topic at hall with his friends that night.

     7. When I was 26, my nephew pulled me out of the sea off Port Dickson. If not for him I would have drowned. After this I learnt how to swim. Big deal !

     8. On 13 May 1969, Tuesday was my appointed day to practise at the shooting range in the afternoon at Subang. And afterwards, I would drive past the TV Complex near Kampong Kerinchi at about 6 pm. I did not go to practice on that particular day because I had an eye injury. Otherwise I would have been caught in the maelstrom right there. My guns would have been useless in such an event. I am happy to be still around.

     9. In 1992, I was in Milan. One morning as I stepped out of the pavement, a young Italian boy on a Vespa hit me on the left side. I felled onto the street. He also felled and was shaking like a leaf. I got up without a scratch and continued my journey. I returned to my hotel room and rang my badminton partner in KL. His secretary told me my friend had the previous night !

     Tun, I hope from now onwards that politicians and journalists take a more serious view of Life and Death !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. When I showed the List to my friend, he said,’ Allah loves you !’

300. Tun

     The recent turn of events concerning minor issues which were raised by Singapore unexpectedly accompanied by comments bordering on domineering and overlord-ship attitudes, was very surprising.

     Fortunately, for some years now, I presented true facts about the rise and rise of Singapore under the honest Government of Singapore as steered by Lee Kuan Yew.

     I was interested in his fables and foibles. And what made him ticked. He did not tick but clung on to his Double First for Law at Cambridge a whole life long and devoid of common sense, originality or creativity.

     Unlike your good self Tun who could develop your brain and mind to the finest degree possible as you took the successes and hard-knocks of Life. From these, we the Rakyat stand to benefit today. The Vision. The Innovation. The Creativity. The Originality.

     Surprisingly, I discovered in recent days that the Singaporean Leadership still cling on to Lee Kuan Yew’s 20th Century quotations for guidance and succour to bolster their decisions and spine. They seem to be unable to stand on their own two feet and make original decisions.

     For example, the Minister with the unkempt hair and without a suit and a tie said ‘…….Singapore will defend its territorial borders.’ Was he serious speaking thus with a half-past six demeanour to the World.?

     Over the media, there were many flashes of Lee Kuan Yew with his quotations which were seen to be apt for this occasion to bolster their decisions and comments as if they still need full marks from him. They forgot he made many contradictory quotations as well.

     Lest we forget. In July 2016, the senior members of the Singapore Government’s Cabinet all lined up like eager school boys to shake the outstretched hands of President Xi in Beijing after they were knocked hard on their heads by China for siding with the United States on the South China Sea issue in 2015 !

     And today, with fire and fury, thunder and lightning made in Singapore, Singapore deliberately infringes upon the Sovereignty and National Interest of Malaysia and adroitly blame Malaysia as the culprit.

     Malaysia has a population of 31 million and after 9 May 2018 is the fourth most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     Malaysia stands astride 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea. Singapore has a population of 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50. Vide Singapore Government White Paper 2011.

     Arising from the official comments recently made by the officials of Singapore, those who take in their adventurous words must be impressed.

     But when the facts are presented that once upon a time, these domineering folks rushed to Beijing to appease China and now, beat the drums against Malaysia’s Sovereignty and National Interest, using their ultimate natural resource, Bluffology, it is truly absurd and ridiculous.

     Maybe they are still in a state of de’ja’ vu when Singapore could control the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and extracted whatever they desired eg from the barren rocks of Pulau Batu Puteh right down to the fellow in IIH and the gigantic expensive purchase of Kim Eng Secutrities Ltd, Singapore to Maybank. No Malaysian money was left unturned .

     All these Malaysian treasures made no difference to Singapore’s struggling economy. The World Bank now estimates Singapore’s 2019 GDP at 3%.

     The question I ask is,’ WHY SINGAPORE KOW-TOW TO CHINA AND TREATS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA WITHOUT ESTEEM ?’

     Is it because Singapore still thinks the New and Incorruptible Government as led by our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side is like the Singapore creation, Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, 2004-2018 ?

     Thanks to our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad if the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP was ratified by the BN Government, our beloved Malaysia would have been turned into a SLAVE FROM A PUPPET BY OUR OWN HANDS AS PLANNED BY LEE KUAN YEW ! Man proposes. God disposes.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! It is time all Malaysians are aware the meaning of Sovereignty and National Interest or we get bullied by little folks. Kudos to YB Loke. No problem.

301. Tun

     In this recent outburst against Malaysia by the Singapore Government officials I find it amusing that they follow the 20th Century quotations of their Mentor Lee Kuan Yew like what the Chinese Communists do with Mao’s Little Red Book.

     But the reality is that all the warts and flaws which Lee Kuan Yew managed to hide from public view are now exposed in no uncertain terms eg.

     1. Lee Kuan Yew entered Fitzwilliam House, Cambridge by the back door without Latin or Greek, over-aged 23 years, and did not take the requisite Open Entrance against all-comers. He based his whole life on his Double First in Law obtained in 1947. He was last at the important professional Bar Finals London. His wife was placed 3rd out of 300. My wife was 7th out of 700.

     2. In 1962, the Tunku despatched the Federal Government’s top expert on Counter-Insurgency, Adviser Tan Sri Dr C.C. Too to brief Lee Kuan Yew and Special Branch Chief George Bogaars on Singapore’s Communist Insurgency for 2 solid days. Much later, C.C. Too told me Lee Kuan Yew did not have a clue about what to do.

     3. From 1948-1989, Singapore became one of the biggest traders in the Black Under Counter Tradw with the blessing of Uncle Sam eg. arms trading, smuggling, money laundering, toadying to dictators, Vietnam War logistics, collect Vietnam War debris, sanctions breaking China, North Korea, Iran, Myanmar, Middle East and Africa. US R & R, US ships bunkering, US base, US Aid. etc. After the end of the Cold War 1948-1989, the BRICS hi-jacked Singapore’s turf. This 2-3% of her GDP gone forever.

     THE HUGE WEALTH SO ACCRUED TO A TINY POPULATION OF 2 MILLION UNDER A HONEST GOVERNMENT MADE LEE KUAN YEW HIT ABOVE HIS WEIGHT UNTIL 2002

     4. By 2002, the Black Under Counter Trades were completely gone forever. Singapore was left with the usual business of banking and trading.

     IN OTHER WORDS SINGAPORE BY 2002 HAD NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT.

     5. 2002 or earlier, SINGAPORE MADE THE FUNDAMENTAL ERROR OF NOT CONTROLLING AN IMPORTANT NATURAL RESOURCE WHICH WAS GOLD AT US$ 300 per ounce.

     Instead through the flatteries of the gnomes of Zurich, Lee Kuan Yew turned himself into an ordinary speculator in shares and lost big by 2008 – US$ 108 Billion. A large portion of the Cold War wealth would have gone to the gnomes of Zurich.

     6. By early 1990s, Lee Kuan Yew realised the loss of the Black Under Counter Trades to the BRICS, with textbook precision he despatched Goh to arrange for the imports FTs from India to boost the GDP. This turned out to be like pushing the economy with a string.

     7. Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives to save his Singapore and his legacy for his inheritors failed. eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, FT imports, 2 casinos, the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP. to fill the Black Under Counter Trades void in the early 21st Century and beyond.

     SINGAPORE NOW HAS NOTHING WHICH CAN CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO HER REVENUE AND ECONOMY.

     The wealth from the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 must be diminishing day by day. Her GDP could not breach 3% from 2002 to 2017 – 15 years. And inflation at 1% per annum is chronic.

     THIS IS THE SINGAPORE WITH NOTHING WHICH MALAYSIA FACES TODAY. A TINY PLACE WITH DECREASING WEALTH AND POTENTIAL IN TERMS OF HUMAN ABILITY AND RESOURCES. A failure to create a sustainable tiny nation by diktat.

     Hence, I was curious at the beginning what stimulated the Singaporean Officials to beat the war drums on minor Causeway issues.

     I FOUND THEY STILL CLING MENTALLY AND IDEOLOGICALLY TO LEE KUAN YEW’S QUOTATIONS OF THE ANCIENT 20TH CENTURY AS CONFIRMED BY THE SINGAPORE MEDIA ALL OVER. Vide. Singapore Matters etc.

     Malaysia BOleh Tun as always ! We must always go back to the basics, the logic and the facts on any issue we face. No problem, Then we know our own strength and resilience. Just a headline like MALAYSIA & SINGAPORE TELLS US NOTHING WHICH IS HUGE AND WHICH IS TINY.

     With Political Reality, we Malaysians must never forget that we are a Nation of 31 Million in a country which is one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     Throughout, our beloved Malaysia and even today, never took advantage of our neighbours. Only now with the New and Incorruptible Government we stand by our Sovereignty and National Interest unlike the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018.

     We must never forget that Singapore has only 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50.Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Singapore has 900,000 male Chinese aged 21-50 which we always forget Malaysia is a Nation of 31 Million. Hence, BLUFFOLOGY is their weapon of choice.

     This morning the media is full of maps concerning the Seletar Airport and its proposed ILS to be installed.

     From all points of view, it is very obvious that the Seletar Airport is outdated as its environs are encroached upon by all sorts of developments whether in Singapore itself or across the Straits in Malaysia.

     In Malaysia, there are important facilities which have been established in the course of the decades.

     There is absolutely no guarantee that an air crash will not occur and cause tremendous damage to human lives and properties. No matter how Singapore presents its case by quoting International Regulations and Rules, or an 1974 Arrangement. Life goes on.

     In this particular case of the Seletar Airport, it is well-neigh impossible for anyone not to foresee the real danger to come.

     AN AIR CRASH INTO MALAYSIA. FOREWARN IS FOREARM.

     YB Loke is superb in taking a solid stand on this. Unlike the other fellow of the Singapore Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government when he was asked why MAS 17 flew over war-torn Ukraine. His reply,’ No one ask us not to fly over it.’ Over 180 lives were lost due to the lack of, vision, common sense and Leadership !

     Well-done YB Loke ! If the cap fits, wear it.

     Singapore should realise its small size in the development of projects.

     To forcibly and obstinately taking an overlordship and domineering attitude which tantamount to bullying our beloved Malaysia is not conducive to good logic from a tiny place which prided itself to be in the First World and able to hit above its weight too. No one asked who Singapore hits at ?

     This might have succeeded during Singapore’s Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government regime 2004-2018.

     This easy method of robbing is no longer relevant in present day Malaysia under the rule of the New and Incorruptible Government.

     Malaysia is now one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia.

     And Malaysia is the most important choke point in the World because of its strategic location with her borders which stretch for 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea together with a population of 31 Million which practise Democracy with a stable Government in a land full of bountiful natural resources with peaceful and friendly people.

     It is time for Singapore to solve her problems and dilemmas.

     If Singapore is SMALL than behave like a small country – quote Singaporean elite Manubhani.

     Our beloved Malaysia with a population of 31 Million, is not interested in other countries problems and dilemmas. We have got problems and dilemmas of our own.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     This evening you saw for yourself that football has a large following of the youths.

     It is only proper that football is properly organised throughout Malaysia and illegal activities are banned in football circles to encourage the healthy development of the Sport. No gambling permitted.

     The Sport has been neglected in professional terms for decades during which ambitious politicians of no merit crept in and controlled the Sport.

     It is high-time like everything else the New and Incorruptible Government which happens to have a young and capable Minister to take the helm of both the Olympic Council of Malaysia and the FAM to put the Sport where it should be today.

     The Key to the success of any Organisation is the availability of dedicated Human Resource with professional know-how.

     You may have observed that our athletes were under-nourished or physically incompetent especially when they were at the World Class level competition.

     Stamina is achieved by Sports Medicine and Physical Conditioning through fitness programmes and dietary regimes as you are aware, Tun. But time and time again Malaysian athletes were found to the lack of breath in the final stages of any Sport. What do unprofessional managers know about Sports ?

     It is well-known many were fellow travellers at public expense.

     On stamina, I remember clearly at the London Olympics, our Malaysian stood to win at badminton in the Third Set at 19-17 against Lin Dan in his favour. He lost. Without fitness to supply sufficient oxygen to his brain, he could not react properly. That’s Sports Medicine, Tun. Lin Dan was always full of energy and stamina to the very last point at his peak. And he never lost then.

     Two World Class Malaysian athletes, the cyclist Awang and Squash Queen Dato Nicole David were always fit for the job.

     Tun, our athletes are ready and willing. For the very first time after so many decades, they have a great chance to be properly guided, fed and motivated by a YB Menteri who fits the bill.

     Let all Sports bloom a thousand Bunga Rayas for our beloved Malaysia.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem

305. Tun

     In support of your comments of the Scourge of Corruption in our beloved Malaysia during 2004 to 2018, I am of the opinion that Corruption knew no bounds during this dark period of our history.

     Who would expect men and women steeped in the religion, well-brought up in education, from esteemed backgrounds and carefully groomed for important roles to administer the Nation, all went for something common garden like weakness of the flesh and the soft under-belly at the flip of the proverbial coin.

     Without exception, men and women holding important top posts in iconic public institutions were literally all on the take of corrupt money.

     These people are the highest ranking Public or Civil Servants in the land specially trained and selected for the jobs. The elitist group which should form the bulwark of any Nation in support of the Political Leadership and the incumbent Government.

     With the daily exposures of wrong doings in the thefts from venerable Trusts like the FELDA and Tabung Haji, 1MDB, by appointed Trustees, one wonders who can be trusted these days by the Rakyat. This is one form of Corruption by those in Power.

     Then we have the common garden type of Corruption when money was given to Civil Servants by individuals for favours.

     The only solution IS TO ENFORCE THE LAWS ON ANYONE FOUND INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION PRACTICES WHETHER IN PUBLIC SERVICE OR THE GIVER IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WITH HARSH DRACONIAN MEASURES AS PERMITTED BY THE LAWS.

     An important innovation to stop Corruption is for the Government to CONFISCATE WHATEVER ILL-GOTTEN GAINS IN TERMS OF MONEY, PROPERTIES OR OTHER ASSETS STOLEN BY THESE CROOKS AND HIDDEN OVERSEAS UNDER DIFFERENT NAMES. The money so derived should be for the socio-economic development for the Rakyat.

     If the Government does not do this, a small time crook will wallop a RM Billion or two and willingly go to jail for a few years and be a free man thereafter to enjoy his loot.

     THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOW SET A PRECEDENT BY PROMULGATING DRACONIAN LEGAL MEASURES TO TRY TO CONTAIN THIS CORRUPTION EVIL ONCE AND FOR ALL.

     This is much more rewarding than some airy-fairy Private Member’s Bill on TVET and forgot about the 300,000 young Malay bankrupts suffering under the neglect by the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring Government which misled them by not revising the Bankrupt Act 1967 but only attached an Amendment to it. Vide. The Star, Reader’s Letter. May 2018.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

     This morning was calm and peaceful.

     But the media is full of hot air blowing from all directions especially from South of the Border which comments become more and more curious day by day. There is no logic in all the comments as expressed officially and unofficially. I am as perplexed and confused as anyone else who just drop by from Mars or Rip Van Winkle from his sleep.

     Why the sudden outburst against Singapore’s obsession, its nemesis called Malaysia ?

     Fellows who hold high honours from the Ivy League and Oxbridge.

     Fellows who were carefully nurtured by Lee Kuan Yew no less who gained a Double First in Law at Cambridge which he never forgot even though he did not leave it behind.

     Fellows who are supposed to stand on their own two feet and think for themselves the best course of Policies for Singapore and her citizens.

     My view is that their present outburst on Air and Water will not hold any advantage to Singapore in the 21st Century as the record showed.

     The record showed that Singapore could turn the PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT OF MALAYSIA BETWEEN 2004-2018 TO HER UTMOST ADVANTAGE FROM THE ROCKS OF PULAU BATU PUTEH THROUGH A ENCYCLOPEDIC LIST OF SPOILS RIGHT DOWN TO THE GIGANTIC SALE OF KIM ENG SECURITIES TO MAYBANK AND BEYOND TO THAT IIH FELLOW.

     This is one side of the Singapore Coin and on the other, DURING THIS HORRIBLE PERIOD MALAYSIA GAINED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It was all one sided 2003-2018.

     And now through the air waves emanating from Singapore, we are told in no uncertain terms by her foremost elite that,

     ‘ VERY TYPICAL – WHAT THEY EXPECT IS SUBORDINATING OF OUR INTERESTS TO THEIR INTERESTS……INTRINSIC SHORT-COMMINGS OF A SYSTEM BASED ON THE DOMINANCE OF A PARTICULAR RACE WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED PARTICULARLY SINCE WE DO BETTER WITH A DIFFERENT SYSTEM……..WHY A SMALL COUNTRY SHOULD NEVER BEHAVE AS A SMALL COUNTRY……’

     I have never read such absurdity in my Life. Who cares about Singapore whether she thinks big or not. It is not our problem.

     Singapore’s Political System is Anti-Cambridge Godless Neo-communistic imposed on the citizens without their knowledge and supported by Apparatchiks (elites) and the West. Somewhat like the People’s Republic of China. This System was known to the West from the beginning. It was called.’benign dictatorship’ (which dictatorship is benign ?) or ‘capitalistic authoritarianism.’ or ‘ rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.) Two prominent Indians, Amartya Sen the Nobel Prize winner and journalist TJS George – Lee Kuan Yew’s Singapore. 1972, opposed the System.

     Malaysia’s System which is democratic and successful is Malaysia Style Democracy with a Malay Bias with our loyalty and devotion to the Constitution, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans.

     The problem with Singapore today is :-

     1. The HUGE VOID OF LEADERSHIP LEFT VACANT BY THE DEPARTURE OF LEE KUAN YEW WHOSE OVERBEARING AND DOMINEERING CHARACTER now shows. No one could fill the void.

     2. THE HUGE LOSS OF REVENUE FROM THE BLACK TRADES IN ARMS, MONEY LAUNDERING, SANCTIONS BREAKING, SMUGGLING, ETC WHICH ALL AMOUNTED TO 2% – 3% of her GDP from 2002 to 2018. This market was hijacked by the BRICS after the end of the Cold War due to Uncle Sam’s spiel which back-fired on him, ‘Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights ‘.

     3. THE ATTEMPT TO FILL THIS REVENUE VOID WITH THE ILL-CONCEIVED TEMASEK, THE 2 CASINOS, THE FT IMPORTS, THE MALAYSIA KILLER TPPA/CPTPP WHICH WERE HASTILY CREATED AFTER 2002. All failed. Singapore now has NOTHING. Thanks to flatteries by the gnomes of Zurich as well.

     4. LEE KUAN YEW’S LIFE-LONG OBSESSION TO BELITTLE HIS NEMESIS MALAYSIA WAS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHICH WASTED TIME AND MONEY. If he had taken a NORMAL approach, he would gain much more and much influence over the Malaysian Leadership for many decades. But the route he had taken NOW SHOWS THE WARTS WITHOUT ANY SOLID ADVANTAGE but little rocks or ringgits here and there WITH SINGAPORE’S GOVERNMENT REVENUE UNADRESSED.

     5. WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT ATTACK IS THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCE. AND ALSO THE FACT THAT SINGAPORE IS STILL USING ANCIENT 20TH CENTURY IDEAS AND METHODS LIKE BLUFFOLOGY, AS LONG AS MALAYSIA STANDS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND BEHAVIOUR, THE SINGAPOREANS WILL MAKE THEMSELVES THAT MUCH SMALLER !

     The fire and the fury only confirm :-

     1. The huge loss suffered by Singapore from the failure of Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives,

     2. The loss of the US Democrat Mojo,

     3. The Loss of the Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989,

     4. The loss of its Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which permitted her to take whatever Singapore wanted,

     5. The gigantic loss of the huge money reserves from the Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 which would have been much depleted by now,

     6. The loss in the drop of her regular revenue from tourist receipts, intra ASEAN trades etc.,

     7. The loss of Singapore’s ability to think out of the box,

     8. The loss of the general influence as exerted by Lee Kuan Yew in his hey-day,

     9. The loss of profitability of her GLCs like the SIA etc.

     10. The loss of leverage in a World of Big Boys and not Small Boys. And so on.

     Even with the paid for delivery of free Malaysian Water, Singapore could not gain anything. She lost her socio-economic momentum for over 25 years – one generation ! Time is of the essence.

     We Malaysians were/are definitely NOT the aggressors of any country or peoples. IF AT ALL THE RECORDS SHOW THAT SINGAPORE LIVED BY THE SWORD AND MAY DIE BY HER OWN SWORD. This unfortunate event has nothing to do with us peace loving Malaysians. This is confirmed by the fact that the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government neglected to make sure our SUKHOI 29 fighter jets fly.

     So how to face militarised Singapore with 300,000 military, Gurkha regiments, drones, tanks, F-35 jets, submarines, balloons, long range artillery, AWACS, Apaches, spies like swallows in CNBC, Bloomberg, CNN, ducks, tycoons, journalists, senior Malaysian Civil Servants, secret caverns, corvettes, Uncle Sam, sir raid siren warnings every day and night, armour plated buildings with air raid shelters etc.

     My sincere suggestion is that it pays for Singapore to confederate with the UK or Scotland or be the 53rd State of the US or a Province of India to ensure her future because it seems to me that the elites of Singapore have run out of white rabbits in the proverbial hat after Lee Kuan Yew. So, they pick on our beloved Malaysia again like in the 20th Century. An ancient saying,’ A GOOD HORSE DOES NOT RETURN TO OLD PASTURES ! ‘

     With the brilliance and courage of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and DSAI with the Team by his side, our beloved Malaysia only looks forward to co-operate and work with Singapore and ASEAN for the common good for the utmost social and economic benefits for our Rakyat. No more. No less This is our focus – not religion, race, politics or whatever.

     AND THE FUTURE IS VERY BRIGHT FOR ALL OF US SINGAPORE, ASEAN, MALAYSIA.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our record even showed Singapore could create the Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004-2018 from which she got all that she wanted. What more does Singapore want ?

307. Tun

     I am curious about a media Report that a Private Member’s Bill concerning Technical Vocational Education and Training or TVET being presented soon in the Dewan Rakyat. Arising from this a Commission would be established to ensure the graduates get a fair wage. This Bill seems to be just ornamental or garnish for some unknown reason. How many such graduates would benefit ? And this Bill will take years and years to implemented if at all.

     Have we forgotten the Minister of Law in the Singaporean Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government’s superfluous amendment which was just attached to the Bankruptcy Act 1967 which she called a REVISED BANKRUPTCY ACT OF 1967 ?

     She misled over 200,000 young bankrupts (Malays) just before the 14th GE. Someone alleged she did it due to pressure from the finance sector.

     And she was not aware that this important Bankruptcy Act 1967 is always revised up to date by Singapore, Hong Kong, Britain and Australia.

     It is time that people in power should not bluff the Rakyat and waste the Government’s time and money on claiming to REVISE the Bankruptcy Act 1967 which she did not. The Act still has 19th Century Victorian punishment rules. Vide. The Star. Reader’s Letter May 2018

     And it is alleged also that this same person wanted to spend RM 350 Million to convert the RRIM Research Station at Welwyn Garden City into a sports facility for Malaysian athletes when she was in charge of another Ministry. This would have meant flying hundreds of Malaysian athletes to and fro between Malaysia and Britain many times a year.

     In fact all she needed to do was to clean out the Jurassic Olympic Council of Malaysia to put Squash on the Olympic Programme. With Dato Nicole David’s skills, Malaysia would have won 4-5 Olympic Gold Medals years ago without spending millions of ringgits for NOTHING.

     In both cases, due consideration and common sense over matters of Public Interest should hold sway.

     On the one hand, over 200,000 young bankrupts (Malays) are still locked in bondage due to the neglect by an Uncaring Minister.

     On the other, how many graduates benefit from the TVET Bill which might not see the light of day ? Why not deal with the 200,000 young bankrupts (Malays) first or both together ?

     It is important that public figures are well-informed all the time but not some of the time.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

308. Tun

     Another wonderful morning today as we wake up from our peaceful slumber amidst our peaceful environment of our beloved Malaysia.

     Why are some people so unhappy ? Why ?

     Maybe they have been thoroughly brainwashed to think that everything is better South of the Border only and not North of the Border.

     Brainwashing is unlike brushing one’s teeth which we want to be super clean every morning. It is applied on weak and simple souls with nothing between their eyes so to speak.

     Brainwashing can be so EFFECTIVE THAT SINGAPORE COULD MAKE A PUPPET OUT OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT FROM 2004 – 2018 !

     This is the nub of the hot-air or BLUFFOLOGY emanating through our southern border for months now.

     For a cognoscenti of Causeway Politcs like myself since 1954, this absurdity is all very unnecessary ! People would jump on me if I use the word ‘CHILDISH’ especially on those from Ivy League or Oxbridge types who are fond of reading the latest tomes from Kino or Borders.

     My advice to them is ‘Don’t waste money or time.’. Why ? My reply is,’ Just use your common sense based on FACTS. OK !

     WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE TO SINGAPORE TO GAIN A FEW METRES OF MURKY SEA WATER ?

     SINGAPORE EVEN BEFORE 2004 HAD GAINED MUCH FROM MALAYSIA.

     BUT BETWEEN 2004-2018, SINGAPORE CREATED THE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT AND TOOK WHATEVER SHE WANTED eg. Pulau Batu Putih (inaction for centuries), unlimited sand, 2 sens (depreciated) per 1000 gallons, airspace, Chief Editor of UMNO owned NSTP, the 25 miles of steel rails with KTM, attempts to gain more from the Bursa or other marts, CPF, the broad and cheap AVENUE, the IIH fellow and other inserts in share-broking and finance houses, etc.

     Our beloved Malaysia welcomes Singaporeans who live, work and play amongst us eg. their investments in Malls, restaurants, businesses and all. I am aware of many and plenty. This is the Private Sector. No problem.

     All Singaporeans and foreign friends are welcome to live, work and play in Malaysia.

     But when our beloved Malaysia’s Sovereignty and National Interest is impinged by encroachment without arrangement, then THIS IS GIVING NO FACE AND ILLEGAL GIVING MALAYSIA THE IMPRESSION OF AN OVERLORDHIP AND OVERBEARING ATTITUDE.

     These are not good vibes between ‘geographical twins’ after some of our folks were brainwashed by the Singapore media as abang-adek, 5 eyes, private and quiet retreats, very hot relationships between Singapore and its puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     Hopefully, Malaysia and Singapore will sit down to talk-talk over Malaysian nasi lemak and teh tarik, and Singapore’s Hainanese chicken rice and chili crabs and Malaysia/Singapore cendol to sort this old twin and young twin matters out once and for all.

     The future POTENTIAL IS EXREMELY BRIGHT NOT ONLY FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA BUT ALSO FOR SINGAPORE AND OF COURSE ASEAN.

     Let us all grow up and join up to take advantage of ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE TO US NOW AND NOT SPLIT HAIRS OVER AIR AND WATER !

     It is time to grasp all opportunities with both our hands and turn them into realities to benefit all our citizens. Time is of the essence.

     It is A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE FOR US TO COME SO FAR AND CANNOT UNITE FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR THE PEOPLE. Surely, recent events were purely coincidental !

     However, without bothering with the negatives as expressed above, I am exceedingly happy and relaxed with the full realization that so far so good, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat have traipsed the narrow line of Democracy through the years as exemplified the anti-ICERD demonstration against an IDEA, the 9 May GE, temple riot (contained by PDRM) etc. Any dissension is limited to hot air and Suits of paper arrows. Hopefully, democratic practices will be practised more by all.

     It is not the concerns or my happiness which I feel like commenting this morning.

     It is how we SMILE that matters.

     Our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is smiling much more these days than during his 22 Year Administration ! This what it should be.

     I suggest his WHOLE GOVERNMENT TAKES TO SMILING when given the OPPORTUNITY. This is the best antidote for winning against the naysayers.

     Not only that, the good hormones will flow, the optics are absolutely clear for all and sundry that to see that all are under control with confidence. And the best of all, without saying much, all can see for themselves with their own eyes to get a ‘FEEL GOOD FEELING’.

     This is a subject known as PSYCHOLOGY which our Tun understands very well. KEEP SMILING FOLKS.

     UNLIKE THAT TOUSLE HAIR FELLOW WITH A HALF-PAST SIX DEMEANOUR WITHOUT A TIE, WHITE SHIRT AND SUIT, OFFICIALLY PROCLAIMING THAT SINGAPORE HARBOUR EXTENDED ITS BORDER RECENTLY AND SINGAPORE WILL DEFEND ITS TERRITORIAL WATERS – To the last drop of blood, I presume. Was he serious ? Were you impressed ? Have you ever heard of 88, Jalan Geylang, Singapore ? Would any Malaysian die for a few metres of murky sea water ?

     Don’t be ridiculous folks ! Come over to JB for our Malaysian nasi lemak, satay and teh tarik, and Singapore Hainanese Chicken Rice and Chili Crabs followed by the Malaysia/Singapore cendol and talk things over. WE ARE ALL TOO YOUNG TO DIE OVER A FEW METRES OF MURKY SEA WATER, FOLKS ! And besides since we are geographical twins (courtesy Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad), I die, you die or you die I die. Pour le vouz francais, folks !

     Tun, please smile broadly with DSAI and the Team by your side too. Not only will the whole World smile with you all but a New and Incorruptible World emerges as a consequence.

     With a smile, I recall how Lee Kuan Yew mandated his citizens to be ‘THE RUGGED SOCETY’ OR ‘TO BE CLEAN’ OR ‘TO SMILE’ etc. Believe it or not. Along Oxford Street, London, I asked my Singaporean friend why he threw all sorts of rubbish along the street. He replied ‘At last, I have FREEDOM.’ There hangs the tale Tun !

     Malaysian Boleh Tun as always ! Keep SMILING BROADLY TUN, TUN DR SITI HASMAH, DSAI AND THE TEAM. We all smile with you. No problem

309. Tun

     For many years I have been commenting in these Columns about the Failed Public Policies of Lee Kuan Yew, an unusual person much concerned with Security coupled with the gathering of information on others which is known as spying.

     It is alleged that a wide area around any event attended by him would be searched thoroughly for bombs like up a lamp-post or up a tree for a radius of at least 100 metres depending on the location. His fear for his safety was real. And some Singaporean rumours alleged that he actually lived in the Istana and not at his humble Colonial style bungalow at Oxley Road.

     Quote Franklin D Roosevelt, ‘The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’

     His penchant for spying on others made the following categories of persons working for him and the Government of Singapore eg. journalists, tycoons, bankers, prominent Malays, Malaysian Civil Servants, swallows, ducks, academicians, etc who were rewarded if they played a significant role in his interest.

     Malaysian and Hong Kong tycoons have been regularly rewarded financially thus with values of the rewards well above the market norm.

     At least two ordinary Malaysian merchant bankers ‘sold’ inside information on the impending bonus issue by Sime Darby in 1979. Both became mighty rich from zero base and became share-brokers. One of them became a convicted felon arising from a huge public cheating scandal in 1999. The other one got away scot-free.

     At the material time, I was offered the same facility to furnish information by a Singaporean lady share-broker who has since sold out to Maybank for a gigantic price I told her bluntly that I was not into this sort of thing by playing out my peers trust behind their backs. That was in 1979. She told me that financing was unlimited and know one would know ! I said ‘No thanks !’

     The use of money by Lee Kuan Yew to further the gains of whatever for Singapore is well-recorded.

     Of course, the most famous was the Thaksin Purchase of 2006 which turned Free Thailand into two halves with deaths and injuries to innocent Thai men, women and children. For the very first time. 2 coups d’états followed.

     For the prescient observer, how many Malaysians noticed that at least 3 Singaporean women journalists were each placed in the Bloomberg, CNBC and CNN respectively. It was the CNN which labelled the cendol as of Singapore origin.

     And during the Currency Crisis of 1997-2000, a Singaporean lady academician at the University of Chicago and a her counterpart, a lady journalist in Jakarta were reporting the most adverse comments on Malaysia’s correct Policy of Foreign Exchange Controls in 2000.

     And as for Malaysia, the authorities always minded our own business but bent over to please when Singapore’s Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government ruled 2004-2018.

     With Lee Kuan Yew’s intense interest in spying on others, especially their sexual peccadilloes, it no small wonder that the age-old Malaysian dessert known as ‘cendol’ also was a Singaporean invention for the want of NOTHING !

     Hence, the re-kindling of ancient 20th Century Strategy and Tactics by the 3G of Singapore only arouse curiosity and wonderment by the cognoscenti of Causeway Politics. Maybe the lack of original Ideas and the absence of white rabbits in the proverbial hat forced the issue.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Whoever in the World wants to claim any Malaysian cuisine, please just ask the PMO and it shall be given because we have so many dishes to give away to the famished ! No need to be sneaky.

310. Tun

     The two Sovereign countries, Malaysia and Singapore have been ruled by leaders with a similar British Colonial educational background since these became independent.

     However, in the case of Malaya/Malaysia since Merdeka, there have been 3 distinguished predecessors of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s 22 year Administration eg. the Tunku – the Father of Malaya. The Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn – a who tolerated no wrong doing.

     And Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was able to put in the essential infra-structures and created the stable Malay Middle Income Group together with the Non-Malay Middle Income Group to use the infra-structures meaningfully and to promote the stable ballast for the future. His successors thought otherwise and enjoyed themselves like taxi-drivers !

     Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad could develop his brain and thoughts as he soldiered on in the National Interest – a whole Life long.

     Comparatively, Lee Kuan Yew after attaining a Double First in Law at Cambridge, left his thinking cap behind when he exited the portals of Cambridge. And his brain did not further develop from that point onwards ! Hence apart from his worst 2 Child Family Policy of 1972-1984 which Hitler did not dare to attempt, Lee Kuan Yew had a further 46 Failed Public Policies on his record.

     In time, historians will arbitrate the pros and cons of Lee Kuan Yew’s performance as a Leader of Singapore. His brilliance or his failures.

     And with the Jury still out, today his inheritors are at their hot-air best war path again picking on their old nemesis Malaysia which Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was Singapore’s Puppet from 2004-2018 !

     Previously, Singapore’s obsession with Malaysia’s wealth was a dangerous distraction in terms of time and money. And at the material time, Singapore was up to her gills with the huge largesse from the spoils of easy money from the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989 and with Uncle Sam’s support and blessings too. The BRICS took over this lush turf from Singapore. 2%-3% of the GDP just disappeared in the 1990s.

     From 2002 -2018, Singapore could not breach 3% of the GDP concomitant with the failures of Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives to save Singapore and his inheritors eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, the 2 casinos, the FT imports and the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP.

     In other words, Singapore HAD NO GROWTH FOR 16 YEARS, 2002-2018 INCLUSIVE OF INFLATION’!

     With this factual background, Lee Kuan Yew’s inheritors now take a hard line towards Malaysia’s diplomatic approach on a few metres of murky sea water and what rightfully belongs as regards Sovereignty and National Interest. From 2004-2018 9 May, there was not a squeak of complain from Singapore towards her Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which gifted her with so much . This rapacious gifts made no difference to the wherewithal of Singapore whatsoever. What a waste of time and money by betting on a one-legged horse !

     These sneaky acts only made Singapore that much smaller !

     We Malaysians must know our own strength and resilience.

     And we must also know that the Singapore of the 21st Century may have lost nearly all the BLACK MONEY MADE DURING THE COLD WAR !

     And with a turbulent World which has no mercy on anyone, a tiny place like Singapore WITH NOTHING BUT A FEW INHERITORS OF LEE KUAN YEW, is very much exposed to the big games the big boys of the World play.

     THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS IS THE QUALITY OF THEIR TOYS, TUN !

     In the case of the US-China Trade War, the weapon of choice is Tariffs coupled with petroleum.

     In the case of Singapore, the inheritors of Lee Kuan Yew chose hot air or BLUFFOLOGY AS THE WEAPON OF CHOICE IN A WORLD IN WHICH ALL KNOW WHERE SINGAPORE STANDS. It was not so in the 20th Century when Lee Kuan Yew over-armed himself with all kinds of weapons.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! The difference between Men and Boys is the quality of their toys !

     Recent events emanating from Singapore in recent days are of a curious nature and origin.

     Their Ministers came out one after another beating the war-drums on a mobile sea border of their creation in recent times.

     The more I review their comments and the headlines like,’ Policy to de-stabilize Malaysia.’ or the words from a tousled head Minister with a half-past six demeanour ‘ Singapore extends Port limits. Territorial waters will be defended.’ the more I ask,’ What do all these official comments add up to ?’ All the fire and fury

     If these comments are serious, then these add up to something which has seriously affected the body politic of the Republic of Singapore. Here are the following conjectures relating to this :-

     1. THE FEAR OF LOSING POWER LIKE WHAT THEIR PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT DID ON 9 MAY 2018. There was mention that the Singaporean citizens be prepared for the long haul. Quote Franklin D Roosevelt.’ The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.’ This is the most likely reason for this sudden outburst by the elites in unison.

     2. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DESTABILZE OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA THESE DAYS GIVEN THE FACT THAT THANKS TO OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD 22 YEAR ADMINISTRATION 1981-2003, 6 MILLION MIDDLE INCOME MALAY FAMILIES WERE CREATED FROM ZERO BASE. This Group with the NON_MALAY Group of another 6 million families form the stable ballast which stabilises Malaysia. And with the New and Incorruptible Government, Malaysia is now united, proud and solid as steel.

     3. THE FACT THAT THE PUPPET CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT PERMITTED THE SINGAPOREANS TO RAPE MALAYSIA BETWEEN 2004 -2018 FREELY, YET SINGAPORE COULD NOT BREACH THE GDP OF 3% – for 16 years ! This is a serious observation of an ant sucking on an elephant and did not benefit at all – A serious economic structural defect in Singapore’s economy which arose from the tragic loss of the 2%-3% GDP belonging to the Black Under Counter Trades of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     4. The sum of the different negative parts becomes a HUGE DILEMMA !

     We must revert to LOGIC AND FACTS to understand the curious behaviour of the Singapore Government Leadership today ! For them ancient 20th Century precepts, sayings and quotations still hold.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Keep smiling broadly ! We are Malaysians ! No problem.

312. Tun

     The recent spike in the Official comments from the Republic of Singapore is not surprising given the fact that their mind-set is still mired in the ancient 20th Century thoughts and sayings of their Mentor Lee Kuan Yew.

     Their present Dilemma is the result of being straight jacketed mentally for over two generations – 25 years of exuberance due to the huge inflow of Black Cash from the Black Trades during the Cold War 1948-1989 which was followed subsequently by another 25 years of Outflow of the huge cash Reserves emanating from both the Government and the Public Funds after being attacked with flatteries by the gnomes of Zurich.

     The Angst of the Leadership must have a root cause for Ministers to rush into print expressing lightning and thunder at very minor things.

     On the one hand, I am so happy and relaxed every day with the full knowledge that the New and Incorruptible Government as led by you Tun and DSAI and the Team by your side will fulfil the NORMS of Good Governance. On the other hand, a further realization of the fact that overnight since 9 May 2018, our beloved Malaysia is now one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan Switzerland and Malaysia.

     With the additional knowledge that Malaysia is now trekking rapidly upwards to rub shoulders with the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     I surmise that Singapore’s ancient Strategy of being Obsessed with Malaysia has something to do with an early GE or an economy in dire straits due to their own mismanagement and the UTTER LACK OF IDEAS.

     Whatever it is, our beloved Malaysia is as innocent as a new-born babe with no intentions to harm anyone ! But only to exert our Sovereignty and National Interest.

     Maybe also Singapore lost control of the Puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government together with Lee Kuan Yew’s Legacy the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP for his inheritors which now has a back-lash effect on their minds that they put all the money on a one-legged horse !

     As it is obvious to all, the manifold mistakes made by the Singaporean elites in not telling the BOSS the true facts concerning their thinking brought present day Singapore insurmountable problems in a World where every one looks after themselves in their Sovereignty and National Interest.

     For a tiny place, Singapore does not make a mark really even though they tell others they hit above their weight.

     NOW WE KNOW HOW !

     LEE KUAN YEW TRADED IN THE BLACK TRADES OF ARMS, SMUGGLING, MONEY LAUNDERING, VIETNAM WAR LOGISTICS, FREE VIETNAM WAR DEBRIS, TOADYING UP TO DICTATORS, SANCTIONS BREAKING OF CHINA, NORTH KOREA, MYANMARE ETC. US R&R, US SHIPS BUNKERING, US BASE, US AID ETC. With an honest Government, Singapore was pushed by the huge largesse from the 3rd World to the 1st ! It was Uncle Sam’s Miracle. Vide Diaward Industries, Chartered Industries Singapore.

     This huge largess was grabbed by the BRICS after the end of the Cold War 1948-1989, 2%-3% of the GDP. An irreplaceable loss for forever.

     THIS IS THE NUB OF THE WEAKNESS OF SINGAPORE’S CORE STRENGTH TODAY. Any other endeavour is not possible BUT ONLY POSSIBLE WITH THE BIG BOYS.

     With the latest spikes from Singapore, THIS ABSURD POLICY WILL ONLY MAKE SINGAPORE THAT MUCH SMALLER as already proven.

     IT IS THE NEW IDEAS WHICH WILL GIVE SINGAPORE THE FLIP TO GAIN MOMENTUM FORWARD NOT BACKWARD. And time is of the essence.

     This is the World of nanoseconds. Not splitting hairs on cendol or a few metres of murky salt water. Sheer waste of time and money.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our beloved Malaysia may have to wait until our other twin catches up with us after sorting out their 20th Century thoughts. No problem.

313. Tun

     A significant headline appeared this morning thus :-

     ‘ Heroes Welcome for Malaysia’s Bowling Champions.’

     All our outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen should be well-rewarded.

     During our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak’s time, he was President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia and was hands-on in all the sporting events. I was privileged to deliver tasks allotted by him. Most sporting events were at the top then including football. At that time, the organisers were keen, loyal and had nothing on their minds but to further the betterment of sports. No one ever thought about money.

     Our World famous Dato Nicole David would have at least 4-5 Olympic Gold Medals in her collection if the Olympic Council of Malaysia after Tun Abdul Razak’s Administration did not sit on their jobs and look pretty at important Olympic functions. And also they confirmed to be inveterate fellow travellers spending the funds belonging to the Rakyat.

     If the members of the Olympic Council of Malaysia were competent and efficient, squash would have been in the Olympic programme decades ago and not the Moguls ! Malaysia would have got at least 4-5 Golds due to her and Dato Nicole David.

     It is time for the YB in charge of Sports to organise the power structure of the governing bodies of Sports beginning with the OLYMPIC COUNCIL OF MALAYSIA WHICH IS FULL OF DEAD-WOOD FOR DECADES.

     Let have young sport activists full of energy, ideas and the willingness to help under the mid-day Sun. This will in time create more outstanding sportsmen and sportswomen to uphold our good name of Malaysia. As it is now, only individual efforts here and there.
     f
     The YB Minister should be the President of the Olympic Council to ensure
     the whole Sports Program is properly administered. This appointment is unlike that of the IIU which is a much lesser entity.

     IT IS TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE AUGEAN STABLES OF THE JURASSIC OLYMPIC COUNCIL OF MALAYSIA IN THE NAME OF MERITOCRACY AND OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun ss always ! Soon we are on our Way to more greatness and glory in Sports

314. Tun

     Ever since I made my very first comments on politics on both sides of the Causeway in ‘Future Fast Forward’ in 2010 or thereabouts, some knowledgeable Singaporeans have told me that my comments have been monitored by the Singapore authorities.

     I comment only on my interpretation of the facts on the Public Policies as implemented by the Singapore Government mainly in relation on what affected Malaysia.

     I do not even know how to spin if required to do so.

     I have always been a friend of Singaporeans from young.

     In 1948, my sister and an aunt took me for a ride in a crowded bus along South Bridge Road. A Chinese schoolboy in a white epaulette uniform stood up and gave his seat to my aunt. This act struck me and I remembered it my whole life-long about Singaporeans. And throughout the 1960s and beyond I had many Singaporean friends, billionaires and taxi-drivers.

     It is the minority which I found insufferable and bombastic like Lee Kuan Yew.

     Hence, I went out of my way to find out what made him ticked. The fact was he did not tick ! He was an ordinary person unlike his wife who was really brilliant with a wonderful mind.

     His use of the institutions of the State as weapons and to gather information were quite unnecessary. I doubt if he used any of this information at all to cajole people.

     But the fear by the citizens at the mention of his name was real. Apparently, Income Tax was one of the weapons used. Fear was enough to quell any dissent in a tiny place which was Singapore.

     The latest Report on Singapore is that it is excellent to do business there but not a pleasant place to live.

     I have always said his biggest mistake was his obsession with Malaysia. His legacy on this leaves a trail even to this very day.

     My sincere advice to the elites is forget about Lee Kuan Yew’s quotes and get on with the chores of daily living and planning on your own. Every dog has his day !

     Malaysia as an obsession again is a dangerous distraction for Singapore in terms of time and money. How much of the Cold War largesse is now left ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! If you can do it and win with the trend n brilliance and courage, WHY NOT THE SINGAPOREAN ELITES IF THEY LEAVE THE THOUGHTS AND SAYINGS OF LEE KUAN YEW BEHIND IN THE 20TH CENTURY ?

315. Tun

     It seems to me that the elites of Singapore are once again embarked on their ancient 20th Century trail of hot air diplomacy like their latest, ‘ Malaysia uses Singapore as Bogeyman.’

     Is this angst the result of their loss of their puppet Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and the signed Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP ? However that’s their business and problem.

     But Singapore’s Dilemma today is of their own making arising from their own self-inflicted mistakes which Malaysia have never been capable of thus :-

     1. If Lee Kuan Yew had not been obsessed to do down Malaysia but had taken a NORMAL approach, Singapore would have gained much more, probably no Senai Airport, Tanjong Pelepas etc but a wide open highway direct to Changi and the Port of Singapore. His obsession was a dangerous distraction in terms of time and money.

     2. Singapore’s elites forgot about Lee Kuan Yew’s valuable goodwill and credits with the World’s super powers for 25 years ! A huge loss of money here !

     3. The ill-conceived Temasek using precious Government savings and Public funds to invest speculatively in badly managed companies on Wall Street, the City etc can only bring huge losses. Flattery by the gnomes of Zurich knew no bounds ! There goes the lush profits from the Cold War !

     4. Singapore missed being a Super Power in GOLD by not investing in GOLD at US$ 300 per ounce up to 4,000 tons. The US has 7,000 tons. Germany 4,000 tons. Italy 3,000 tons. Russia and China 2,000 tons and India 1,000 tons with more unofficially. A huge new GOLD industry would have been created. Malaysia would have been caught between a rock and hard place.

     But Man proposes. God disposes. Malaysia is now one of four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia since 9 May 2018.

     THE DILEMMA OF SINGAPORE TODAY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MALAYSIA. ALL HER PROBLEMS ARE FROM HER OWN MISTAKES AS MENTIONED ABOVE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our beloved Malaysia has never harmed anyone but it has always been the other way round.

316. Tun,

     With your permission and your concept that Ideas make Money and not Cash is King which turns even the most powerful to be a thief, I like to express a few comments on the dire lack of ideas from Singapore’s elites these days of the 21st Century.

     It is pathetic to note that even at this day and Age, the independent and sovereign Republic of Singapore still resort to ancient 20th Century methods of cajoling their desires on our beloved Malaysia which has a population of 32 Million and its sovereign territory stretches for 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea. The most important choke point of the World.

     Singapore’s choke point is only 1 mile 1,000 miles from the sea borders of Malaysia. Fellows get choked by Malaysia 1,000 miles before Singapore first.

     Singapore’s population of 900,000 Chinese males of 21 to 50 will in time dribble down to 90,000 and become a Province of the Republic of India.

     I have a soft spot for India and her inhabitants. I was a boy refugee there and gambolled amongst them who were friendly, hospitable and kind. This I will always be grateful and never forget.

     I always recommended my friends to visit India the most democratic in the World and she has the most advanced elite education system with her educational Silicon Valley sited at the foothills of the high Himalayas with rich flora and fauna, Dehra Dun and Mussoorie. Seeing is believing Tun I spoke Hindi, Urdu and Anglo Indian English as well. No problem

     I am still a Malaysian Chinaman. Hence I do not see why we have a politicised language conundrum in our beloved Malaysia whilst India embraced all the dialects, over 350 of them !

     Malaysia is now the 4th most important country of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia as from 9 May 2018

     That is our beloved Way forward as we rapidly trek upwards as led by you Tun with DSAI and the Team by your side to the likes of the Greats Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     Japan is a place that if anyone had done wrong, they honourably commit hara kiri even by apologies these days. What can be more NOBLE than this ? IN MALAYSIA THEY LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO COURT WITHOUT REMORSE !

     As for Singapore, now empty of white rabbits in the proverbial hat, maybe a few good ideas from those folks who live in the hot and humid Ulus could broaden their thinking horizon because the Singaporeans seem to have a mind-set stuck in the ancient 20th Century despite all the beautiful pix churned out by their World class media.

     I have observed that the e-biz World seemed to have passed them in the mad rush to capture market share of huge worthwhile countries of the World the US, China and India where huge population masses reside.

     The Dilemma in Singapore today is the lack of ideas to generate REVENUE for the Singapore Government with the sudden disappearance of her trades in arms trading and many other black trades during the Cold War 1948-1989 with Uncle Sam’s support and closed eyes.

     Thanks to the US needs and Lee Kuan Yew excellent rapport with the US Democrats. He ran an honest Government for a tiny population of less than 2 Million. The huge wealth so accrued from 1948 to 1989 pushed Singapore into the First World – it was Uncle Sam’s Miracle not Lee Kuan Yew’s.

     The Malaysians were misled to the glittering buildings and other exotic impressions that these are Lee Kuan Yew’s Miracle. Such things do not make money for the Government.

     Besides, after the collapse of the Black Trades due to the encroachment by the BRICS after 1989, Lee Kuan Yew created 4 Initiatives to save Singapore and his legacy for his inheritors – the ill-conceived Temasek, the 2 casinos, the FT imports, and the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP – all failed.

     Singapore now has NOTHING TO GIVE A FUTURE AND REVENUE FOR THE GOVERNMENT ! Coupled with the fact that it was alleged Lee Kuan Yew tried to turn Jurong to be like Graubünden, Ang Mo Kio like Bernese Oberland etc. He stopped after he discovered that the whole of Singapore at low tide could be fitted into Lake Geneva, Switzerland ! He had a lot of respect for the Swiss !

     How ?

     I suggest the Seletar Airport matter could be resolved easily by either building it elsewhere like using the gift from Malaysia the KTM lands or fill up the Johor Straits so that it becomes a monsoon drain with just a link chain fence along it. Billions of Singapore Dollars will be so created from this idea without being hampered with the impractical ideas of Cash is King !

     Like this at some future date if Singapore confederates with United Kingdom or Scotland or become the 53rd State of the United States or a Province of the Republic of India, we Malaysians on our side of this fence can hail our British, or American or Indian friends – Selamat Pagi.

     It is just as simple as this, Tun.

     The idea for Singapore to fill in the Johor Straits to create enough room for the planes to take-off from Seletar. I have seen warplanes coming out of a Swiss mountain like in a James Bond film. If Hollywood could do it, why not HIT ABOVE ITS WEIGHT SINGAPORE ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ? We Malaysians believe in Tun’s Concept of Ideas create Money not Cash is King ! And Tun with DSAI and the Team by his side will do precisely this for the Rakyat. No problem.

317. Tun

     Another fine morning with the Sun smiling broadly accompanied by a clear blue sky and cumulus clouds all round. It was good to see you smiling broadly all the time and all over the place. A sight like this brings happiness and relaxation to the Rakyat who were once full of fore-boding before 9 May 2018.

     It was very good to see our fine and distinguished Tun Dr Siti Hasmah given the highest respect by President Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan, an Oxonian, by holding her hand as a mark of respect. This is what our beloved Malaysia should be. We should be given due respect by the G20 if not for the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government when lesser souls took our rightful place.

     Kudos to our Minister of Transport, YB Loke, a competent and a person of the highest integrity for stating that our beloved Malaysia has Sovereignty and National Interest over our own Air Space above the State of Johor. It is high time that all Malaysians realise our Sovereignty and National Interest unlike the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government between 2004-2018.

     As soon as Tun retired in October 2003, a big convicted felon who robbed the public of over RM 1 Billion was fined only RM 3 Million with no jail sentence. The big criminal laughed all the way to his RM 1 Billion Vancouver Tower after transferring this RM 1 Billion out of the country with the FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES !

     And as though our beloved Malaysia was owned by the Leadership, the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government rushed to The Hague International Court of Justice to ascertain whether Pulau Batu Putih belonged to Singapore after over 100 years of inaction.

     Of course, our beloved Malaysia lost because it was a sandiwara just for two or it takes two to tango. Sovereignty and National Interest were forgotten due to jet lag.

     The arrogant Singaporeans trumpeted their cleverness by publishing a
     book to denigrate the stupidity of the Malaysians.

     Factually, there are many more clever Malaysians than Singaporeans as the record shows.

     Hence, Singapore’s Dilemma of no growth for 16 years with the collapse of Lee Kuan Yew’s 4 Initiatives to save Singapore and leave behind an enduring legacy for his inheritors eg. the ill-conceived Temasek, FT imports, 2 casinos and the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP – all failed.

     Not only that, the famished Singaporeans rushed in to grab the Malaysian low hanging fruits in the wide opened doors of the Khazanah by running along the free Avenue right past the 4th Floor Boys showing
     the way by waving the magic wand,

     The finale was a hard core PAP (Singapore) cadre became the appointed Chief Editor of the UMNO owned NSTP with a lush Sime Darby Apache Contract on his lap to ease his sufferings in the hot and humid Ulus. Lee Kuan Yew had his biggest laugh then. Where was our beloved Sovereignty and National Interest ? But who laughs last laughs the loudest !

     Malaysia is now one of four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Japan, Switzerland and Malaysia after 9 May 2018 !

     Further, a NOBODY was allotted 1,000,000 barrels of oil by Saddam Hussein according to a UN Report. Where was our beloved Sovereignty and National Interest ?

     Look at the fight over Sovereignty and National Interest in current events eg Brexit, South China Sea, Trump, etc.

     And much more CORRUPTIONS which could form the contents of a thick book !

     How many Malaysians are aware that Singapore used to control the Malaysian Air Space right up to Penang and beyond until 1974 ?

     Some wise guys in the NOC chaired by the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak brought this matter up in 1970. Hence the 1974 Arrangement mentioned by Singapore recently.

     And the Secretary to the NOC became a big shot in later years. He forgot, ugh ?

     The Air Space above the State of Johor belongs to Malaysia. Sovereignty and National Interest must be legally and rightfully exercised until some proper arrangement is in place.

     IF SINGAPORE HAS NO AIR SPACE FOR THEIR AIRPORT, THEN LET THEM BUILD ANOTHER ONE ELSEWHERE. IT IS THEIR PROBLEM NO MALAYSIA’S.

     Let us follow strictly the International Laws and not the Rule and Regulations of an Agency !

     We do exactly what Singapore did to us in the past and the present – follow the Laws plus the nitty-gritty or Devil in the details which Lee Kuan Yew was so fond of.

     Kudos again to the Minister of Transport YB Loke, competent and walk the talk unlike the other fellow when asked why MH17 flew over war-torn Ukraine.’ He replied, ‘No one asked us not to fly over Ukraine.’. Over 180 lives were lost due to the lack of commonsense and LEADERSHIP.

     Malaysia Boleh as always.

     OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR NATIONAL INTEREST ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE TUN ! Otherwise we are not fit to be called a country known as MALAYSIA being called by nobodies as stupid, bullied, pushed around and raped in broad daylight as permitted by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004- 2018. An incident worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of ancient Rome !

318. Tun

     This morning the Nikkei PMI Index for Malaysia indicates a contraction for November which is the lowest for 6 months.

     We are now looking at the neglect by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government of doing nothing but playing about frivolously with the well-being of our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat from 2004 to 2018 – a period which these purported leaders or rulers who had no clue on how to administer and plan for the future of a country.

     There were no initiatives to create productive projects to create meaningful jobs for the Rakyat.

     How could they when these purported leaders or rulers spent time enjoying themselves whilst raping our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat of their wealth ?

     Today, we look at the dire results of those who were responsible for planning for the future wherewithal of Malaysia. They neglected their responsibilities and duties from 2004 to 2018. But only knew how to pay astronomical salaries to sub-standard people. They thought being a Prime Minister or in the Government was a cinch.

     Just let others do the hard work whilst they spent time enjoying themselves here and there or flitting overseas in a jiffy.

     This 0.001 % of the population who controlled the 99.999% of the population did not realise at all the magnanimity of the job which they held.

     THE PRECIOUS LIFE OF A NATION BUILT UP BY THEIR PRREDECESSORS.

     If these fellows were incompetent, that was one story. But these fellows were not only incompetent but practised the ways of those who frequent the fringes of Society. This was another story.

     A story which has transpired to be shameful without comparison. We the 99.999% of the population all suffered for this, rich or poor. This now shows in the Nikkei PMI Index for Malaysia. No more. No less.

     Tales of mismanagement and malfeasance by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government emerged very soon after 2003.

     The first was a convicted felon who was the mastermind of a share-broking theft of over RM 1 Billion, was only fined RM 3 Million WITHOUT JAIL ! He laughed all the way to Vancouver to his Tower.

     Then the little stories on the NS Programme about the Corruption in the construction of the camps, the catering, the uniform and the transport.

     Followed by the invasion by the hard-core PAPs (Singapore) running along the Avenue past the 4th Floor Boys who held the magic wand, directly into the wide-open doors of the Khazanah looking for low hanging Malaysian fruits which they found plenty.

     This wanton act was followed by the appointment of a hard-core PAP (Singapore) cadre as the CHIEF EDITOR OF THE UMNO OWNED NEW STRAITS TIMES TO TEACH US MALAYSIANS HOW TO READ AND WRITE IN ENGLISH !

     To keep this fellow happy, a lush Sime Darby Apache Contract kept him happy in the hot and humid Ulus.

     Some of these Singaporeans took up abode in Putrajaya to be nearer to the scene of action in their favour.

     Not only that, stories of how a syndicate blessed by the very top could corner all the palm oil sludge from the GLCs estates for free daily began to emerge from the grape-vine. And more happenings.

     This crazy episode in Malaysian History eased seamlessly to the fat boy’s amateurish move to make big bucks out of our beloved Malaysia’s Government coffers, with us the Rakyat watching and hearing haplessly.

     It’s a small small World, Tun !

     As a person who has been a close observer of the political scene on both sides of the Causeway since 1954, I was very worried. Such things should not happen inside ANY GOVERNMENT IN THE WORLD !

     In 2011, I decided to meet our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad face to face a third time since 1972 !

     For the curious, I have been in correspondence with Tun at least once a year on important issues of the day since 1981. He always found time to reply to my letters which I now have as a series. He did not reply only once when I mentioned a sensitive and seditious subject.

     From his attitude to an ordinary person like me, I realise Tun is caring and compassion about the welfare of the Rakyat.

     And to confirm, I personally bumped into Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah twice when he was the Prime Minister, at about 8.30 p.m. on two occasions, Ampang Park Complex and Sogo with only one bodyguard in attendance.

     What were they doing there ? Enjoying themselves by taking in the fresh air (makan angin) ?

     NO ! Tun was there in those places to see for himself on the spot about the welfare of the Rakyat and the activity of the market place. He had no problem with the heat and the humidity ! Unlike those fellows who spent time at the Dorchester Hotel London or the Plaza Hotel New York enjoying themselves and doing nothing for the Rakyat !

     And why did I correspond with him ? The reason was his closest aides who were also my closest friends kept me away from the Tun with one excuse or another so that they keep their precious relationships with the Tun to themselves. That’s OK with me.

     Hence, I met the Tun officially 3 times – Hari Raya 1972 and every year until he became PM in 1981: 1984. I was the first and only to avoid a gigantic scandal. 2011. I met him again face to face to assess his reaction to the Governmental Malfeasance since 2004. At that time, I was already briefed that Tun would NEVER RETURN TO POLITICS BECAUSE TUN DR SITI HASMAH AND THE FAMILY DID NOT WANT HIM TO BE INVOLVED AGAIN !.

     In 2011, the first question Tun asked me as I sat down in front of his huge desk was ‘ Where are you from ?’ Of course, he knew about me otherwise I would not be able to see him. The second question was ‘ Have you been to Alor Star’. I told him I have never been there and someone informed me in the 1960s that it was full of green flies. He gave me a cynical smile which I pretended not to see. He could conceal his feelings about the current events at the material time. I left without any feeling as well. But Tun asked me to write about my view of things. Hence, after careful thought I appeared at his distinguished Blog in 2013.

     For the thinking curious, I sincerely hope you now understand WHY I ALWAYS MENTIONED TUN IS BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS arising from my experiences above. When I met Tun in 2011, he appeared to have retired due to the desire of his family.

     BUT THE CALL OF THE RAKYAT TO SAVE OUR HAPLESS BELOVED MALAYSIA UNDER ATTACK BY DARK FORCES WAS TOO GREAT TO IGNORE BY TUN. And against all the POWER and MONEY against him with DSAI and the Team by his side, VICTORY WAS THEIRS BUT THE TASK AT HAND TO RESTORE BACK TO NORMALITY IS HUGE GIVEN THE GIGANTIC RAPE AND NEGELCT OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA 2004-2018 !

     Hence, I will always say Tun is BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem. Malaysia will be up and running soon under your Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side.

319. Tun

     Congratulations on the successful launch of the PPBM Sarawak branch. It is good to see you smiling all the time. This will bring out all the good hormones from the brain for your good health and well-being.

     The end of each year brings thoughts and memories to the forefront as civilised beings like us still remember those events which marked significant steps in our life-long quest for achievements big or small.

     And the biggest significant event of all is the rapine attitude of the whole Establishment of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government between 2004-2018 which left no stone unturned in Corruption and Nepotism by its elitist leaders en mass. How could a country like our beloved Malaysia produced such irresponsible and uncaring leaders ?

     Not only one, but the whole lot using the apparatus of the State to steal the riches belonging to the Rakyat as represented by the Government of the day ! And the methods to steal were crude like that of a common thief. How could it be that ennobled personalities all with many titles and have sworn before our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans over and over again for decades indulged in such wanton rape of the Rakyat’s wealth held in safe-keeping by the Government on their behalf ?

     And our beloved Malaysia is not a poor country which could not pay for their keep. How could this wanton rape of our beloved Malaysia have taken place in our own country by the whole elitist Establishment from top to bottom ?

     Even Hitler did not rape his Deutschland but only the countries he conquered !

     How could leaders who are born and bred in one’s own country do such a horrible rape of their own homeland en mass and must be recorded as one of the most horrible crimes in Humankind History ?

     The Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and 2 Ministers have been indicted for monetary crimes together with a whole host of ennobled high ranking officials and the promise of more indictments to come !

     And it is purported that big chunks of money in the Treasury just disappeared into thin air without trace and accountability.

     How could this be that a Government which was administered properly and honestly from 1957 to 2003 suddenly collapsed as though a gang of Mafiosi had taken over it ?

     Not only that our beloved Malaysia is now hobbled with mega projects which have no meaning and set up at great expense with no immediate purpose.

     How could a whole elitist Establishment go off at a tangent like this doing thoughtless projects with no purpose ?

     For these rapacious people, I hope they are aware that our money in the economy has run dry.

     How could this be when over 500 handbags, 400 watches, 12,000 pieces of jewellery and RM 113 Million in cash are stored in one single abode of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership ?

     And as anyone could guess, this is only the tiny tip of an iceberg of Corruption affecting the whole ruling elitist Establishment. And when charged, the Defendants denied any wrong doing.

     How could this be in our beloved Malaysia to be financially raped by her own elitist Establishment worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of ancient Rome ?

     With 3 generations of attrition of the Malay elitists, our beloved Malaysia is now only left with our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, one 80 year old superman and one 40 year old Christ’s ( College ) man ! And all the affected Malay elitist in between are happy to lie low with their tons of money !

     How could this be that MONEY MONEY MONEY IS SO VERY IMPORTANT IN THE WORLD OF THE LIVING IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ?

     How much can one spend in one’s Lifetime or spend in London or elsewhere ? After 2 weeks overseas, most Malaysians would miss their favourite foods and yearn to return home. Why deposit the billions and billions of US Dollars in Swiss private banks or New York or London ?

     Why should we benefit the economies of foreign countries ? And at the most we have only 100 years to live and there is a high risk of the money being squandered by the children !

     Tun, with all those facts in our minds, I recall the time which was 13 May 1969 when the Malays had only 2% of the general economy, the British 70% of the best of everything, the Chinese 25% of the 3rd rate with only a handful of tycoons.

     Then, after this momentous event, the great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak, YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Tun Ismail Mohd Ali, UMNO Youth and yourself ( except for the MCA whose leadership was in the dog house for its withdrawal in a pique from the Alliance at 2.30 pm 13 May 1969 and re-joined at 10 pm that tragic night ) came together as one and formulated the NEP which supported my 1972 Concept of capturing Sime Darby to put the Malays fast trek into Big Business and relieved the pressure on the existing and future Chinese business based on the NEP basic policy of creating a level playing field for all.

     One MCA leader a johnny-come-lately who got entangled with the authorities on both sides of the Causeway called me a ‘Malay bum-sucker’ for my 1872 Sime Darby Concept. After 7 years in corrupt politics he could remit S$ 100 Million via my friend to his girl friend’s Hong Kong account at HSBC ! If not for the NEP and Sime Darby, how could this MCA fellow made S$ 100 Million out of his politics in 7 years based on the Chinese ?

     The Establishment with the launch of the NEP before and after never thought of raping the country for themselves. There was no money in the Malay or Government coffers anywhere.

     Sime Darby was captured for ONLY RM 23 MILLION WHEN THE MALAYSIAN MONEY RAN OUT AND THROUGH THE GRACE OF THAT BRILLIANT LADY LAWYER IN SINGAPORE, TWO SINGAPORE BANKS SUPPORTED THE MALAY CAUSE. THIS WE MUST NEVER FORGET.

     BY NOVEMBER 1975, SIME DARBY WAS CAPTURED as promised to Tun Abdul Razak before his untimely demise.

     We must never forget that the Malays thought about money ONLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT THEN.

     To show what a valuable asset Sime Darby was/is, under Malaysian Management and with the same Management which did not leave after the FIRST BANKRUPTCY IN 1996 AT RM 1.2 BILLION, THE SAME MANAGEMENT WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE SECOND BANKRUPTCY IN 2010 AT RM 2.1 BILLION ! No one was charged. No one was jailed !

     With the Wealth created by our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his distinguished predecessors from zero base, we who are still around since the time when the Malays had only 2% of the Malaysian economy, just cannot believe that a whole elitist Establishment could collapse due to wine, women and song !

     Where is our Sovereignty and National Interest ? Like rushing off to the International Court at The Hague to give away something which was untouched for centuries ! It takes two to tango or to permit a nobody to take 1,000,000 barrels of oil from Saddam Hussein as reported by the UN.

     When the Leadership and elites think of wine, women and song, and not of our Sovereignty and National Interest like signing the TPPA/CPTPP that will be the end of our beloved Malaysia.

     We the Rakyat and our beloved Malaysia have only ONE MORE CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP TUN WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE.

     AND WE MUST ALSO NEVER FORGET THAT WE HAVE ONLY ONE HOME WHICH IS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA ! This time, Man proposes. God disposes.

     Money can be found again. But when the elitists fall, it is impossible to pull them like white rabbits out of the proverbial hat. And the non-Malay elitists cannot progress and advance without the Malay elitists in place ! Without elitists, where is a country ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem under your brilliant and courageous Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side !

320. Tun

     As the momentous year 2018 is fast drawing to a close, it is good, very good that those responsible for the Leadership of the New and Incorruptible Government commented on the State of the well-being of our beloved Malaysia’s general economy in relation to the Rakyat. Headlines like, thus :

     ‘ PM : Economy is doing well because Malaysia is very stable.’

     ‘ PM : Najib and Badawi left us with a bloated Civil Service.’

     ‘ FM : There is an increase of 35% FDI during the 10 months of 2018’

     The above-mentioned headlines are the harbingers of more good tidings to come for the Rakyat under the New and Incorruptible Government.

     1. For 14 years, the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, 2004-2018 did nothing but to satisfy the wanton desires of the Leadership. Otherwise, our beloved Malaysia should be sitting at the G20 Conference now being held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

     What we see today on TV is that because of the Corruption and Failure of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government during 2004-2018, our beloved Malaysia has been left out.

     A country with NOTHING sits on the front row next to President Putin who ignored the fellow because President Putin is aware that our beloved Malaysia is the real thing. Not a FAKE.

     And we are now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. Thanks to the brilliance and courage of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, before and on 9 May 2018 !

     Malaysia is situated in the most strategic geo-political location in the World which stretches for 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea with a stable Government and economy which practices Democracy successfully by peoples from 3 ancient civilizations and others and full of bountiful natural resources especially water. Where else but Malaysia ?

     Yet the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government during 2004-2018 brought our beloved Malaysia down to such a lowly stature that the Leadership began to think like Mickey Mouse and behaved like one too.

     IN FACT, MALAYSIA IS THE MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRY IN SOUTH EAST ASIA IF NOT THE WORLD WHICH THE COLONIALISTS RECOGNISED FROM THE 16TH CENTURY, THE PORTUGESE, DUTCH, BRITISH, JAPANESE, CHINESE.

     Now we the Rakyat, the Malaysians must stand united, proud and strong to tell the World, we are also one of the very best and must not behave like cowards or thieves stealing money belonging to public.

     In fact during this period 2004-2018 whilst the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was suppressing the Rakyat on the one hand, it was selling out to the foreigners on the other.

     The most notable was the 4th Floor Boys who opened the flood-gates of the Khazanah to the famished Singaporeans who came rushing in to pick at the low hanging fruits. Eventually a hard-core PAP cadre was appointed the Chief Editor of the UMNO owned NSTP with a lush Sime Darby Apache contract to ease his sufferings in the hot and humid Ulus.

     Man proposes. God disposes. A rock fell on the head of the 4th Floor Boys think-tank and killed him on the spot ! But before this, 1,000,000 barrels of oil were extracted out of tight fisted Saddam Hussein by a Malaysian nobody as reported in the UN Report !

     After the collapse of the Badawi Regime, the most amateurish scam was concocted to siphon money out of the Government coffers by borrowing from banks. Believe it or not.

     Bank loans are limited by risks which these amateurs did not know.

     A signature from the PMO would have unleashed trillions for them if they were not amateurs in the theft of money.

     Tun, the ignorance of these last-minute amateurs in the theft of money was incompetent and inefficient which will put the whole lot into jail sooner or later.

     To top the whole rabid corruption, the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government signed the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP fully supported by Singaporean digits embedded as Senior Civil Servants in the Malaysian Civil Service.

     And to make this even MORE LAUGHABLE, A BEAUTIFUL SPY MISTRESS CIK BON 004 WHO LOVES GUCCI SPECS, WAS CREATED to spy on our OWN RAKYAT. She turned out to have sticky fingers with the Boss’s money and was probably hand-picked by the Boss’s spouse ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     And the person hand-picked and employed to brain-wash the Rakyat, has since returned to Israel ! Believe it or not !

     The whole of the Malaysian Government was up-side down during 2004-2018, Tun !

     It was a crazy environment when money was spent to turn the Perdana Residence into a night-club for Hollywood stars, Western hangers-on; to sponsor the Trengganu Regatta for the European upper-class ; and for Sime Darby to sponsor 9 years of New Zealand Ocean Racing to please its former New Zealander Finance Director in the most bigoted country in the World !

     At a time even now, we have to care for our disadvantaged, the old, the orphans, the single mothers etc. There are people who do not see, do not hear and do not think at the very top of the Leadership during 2004-2018 ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     2. Tun you are correct. Our beloved Malaysia has the most bloated Civil Service in the World apart from countries with Socialist/Communist Policies. Here Is a list from the ILO courtesy Wikipedia. The percentage of the Civil Service in relation to the total employment :-

     1. India – 55% (2014) 2, Singapore – 32% (2014).

     3. UK – 21.%% (2014) 4. Malaysia – 19% (2014)

     5. Switzerland 13.8% (2014)

     NB. If Malaysia includes the uniformed Services and the GLCs, the percentage would probably be near to India’s !

     I entered into a Najib Potemkin Office in the Wisma MARA, Kuala Lumpur by accident which was headed by a non-elected UMNO Supreme Council member. The office covers two floors of the large building complete with brand new office furniture and many employees which were doing NOTHING ! A sheer waste of Rakyat’s money.

     The Corrupt and Uncaring BN Leadership lined not only their own pockets but used the Rakyat’s money to employ their own people as well by the thousands. This is a crazy way to bring down a previously well-Administered Government to its knees without any doubt. A figure of RM 1 Billion for recurrent salaries was mentioned recently by the FM !

     A cursory look at the Leaders of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government’s ability and qualification to manage MONEY showed there were NONE !

     Yes Tun ! With proper and normal Administration by the New and Incorruptible Government and DSAI by your side, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat are recovering rapidly by giving you time to pull more wonderful white rabbits out of the proverbial hat to benefit the Rakyat.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

321. Tun

     It is good to see you smiling all the time and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah as well.. This will bring out all the good hormones from the brain to sustain your health and activity. What medicine is better than this !

     Soon it will be the end of the year 2018.

     It is not only a momentous year but an earth shattering year too with the victory of the good over the bad.

     What more can our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat want better than this ? A solid chance to trek upwards to the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan by Malaysia which is now one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     And your Government’s recent sterling accomplishment of selling off its first GLC, IHH which is irrelevant to the needs of an emerging and developing Nation like Malaysia.

     We have many poor Rakyat, the old, the orphans, the single mothers and the disadvantaged to look after right on our door step.

     Malaysia has no place to be involved in the domestic problems of other nations like IHH BORROWING billions of ringgits to invest in Turkey, India, China, Singapore to bail out PRIVATE TYCOONS or like FELDA bailing out the Eagle Group of Indonesia USING OUR GOVERNMENT’S MONEY. For free ? In Turkey, the tycoons, the Singh Brothers of India twice, in Singapore and India and Peter Sondak of Indonesia. To the Management of IHH, we Malaysians are NOT born yesterday or stupid.

     Yes Tun ! In 2019, a fruitful and successful year for the New and Incorruptible Government will materialise.

     To make this even more successful and fruitful, we the common people or Rakyat should stand together and be PATRIOTIC to push our beloved Malaysia towards the highest height achievable for a Nation.

     THIS IS OUR LAST AND ONLY CHANCE TO GET RID OF ALL THE NEGATIVE IDIOMS WHICH HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED IN OUR SYSTEM BY THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT DURING THEIR 14 YEAR RULE OVER US, 2004-2018.

     With a peaceful and harmonious support by the Rakyat, our brilliant and courageous Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad will produce many more wonderful white rabbits out of the hat for the benefit of all Rakyat, the young and the old, the big and the small. the rich and the poor ! No problem.

     UNLIKE SINGAPORE WHO HAS NOW RUN OUT OF WHITE RABBITS TO PULL OUT OF THE HAT. AND SOON EVEN THE HUGE RESERVES BUILT UP FROM BLACK UNDER-COUNTER ARMS TRADE ETC DURING THE COLD WAR 1948-1989 WILL RUN DRY.

     Taking into cognizance of the fact that with the loss of the lush Black Under Counter Arms Trades to the BRICS since 1990, Singapore 2-3% GDP from this arms trades alone has disappeared forever.

     And between 2002-2018, Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% per annum because of this loss, 2-3% of the GDP which used to be the contribution from her black under counter arms trades etc.

     This is Singapore’s Dilemma today after the failure of Lee Kuan Yew’s creations to save the survival of his Singapore and his legacy for his inheritors eg. the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP, 2 casinos, FT imports and the ill-conceived Temasek.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Many more white rabbits for you to pull out of the proverbial hat as we progress along. No problem.

322. Tun

     What a wonderful coincidence !

     As I was enjoying myself amongst the equable ambience of the Mitsui Outlet Mall, it transpired that Mitsui & Co. Ltd Tokyo has agreed to take-over the Khazanah’s shareholding in IHH, a company which I consider useless and uncontrollable because of its nebulous corporate structure. The sum of RM 8.26 Billion payable is good for the present needs of our Government and our beloved Malaysia.

     It makes a lot of sense that CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

     We have many socially disadvantaged old and young, orphans and single mothers to look after.

     For the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government to spend precious BORROWED money overseas on foreign private hospitals when our beloved Malaysia is still an emerging country which has poverty right on our doorstep amongst all communities only underlines its thoughtlessness and uncaring attitude with eyes that do not see, ears that do not hear and brains that do not think at the highest level.

     Not only that, the IHH was involved in at least 2 gigantic bail-outs with borrowed money eg. in Turkey when the Turkish tycoons were bailing out and recently in India with a giant RM 2.4 Billion bail-out, all of which were handled by a foreign individual of no merit. This can only mean the build-up of huge recurrent purchases of generic drugs by IHH which are produced in huge quantities by my friend the richest Muslim in India and others. For this he was recently honoured by India.

     Our beloved Malaysia’s majority of diverse peoples are good people.

     And because our fellow citizens are good people, THOSE WHO HAD THE POWER SHOULD CARE FOR THE 99.99% who are hapless and without any POWER. But this was not to be given by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     For example, on my journey by car back from the Mitsui Outlet Mall, the whole highway was packed with cars all the way back to Kuala Lumpur and beyond.

     A thought struck my mind that the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government did nothing to build more highways to ease this congestion during their disinterested administration 2004-2018.

     What the BN Government did was to build an expensive rail network around KL instead of adding more highways and by-ways stretching outwards from KL in all directions.

     When money is the top consideration for everything, the Rakyat’s interest is all but forgotten ! Railways are good for certain localities and purposes which have limited functions unlike the motorcar.

     There have been so much fake information and statistics produced forcefully in support of mega-railway projects that we get the horrendous traffic jams along all our important highways today at rush hour and everyday. It also crossed my mind how forgiving and tolerant we Malaysians are to be cheated right and left by crooks who claimed and swore before the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans to protect and safeguard all our Rakyat’s interests.

     It is an excellent time to clean out the Augean Stables after our beloved Malaysia has been raped by crooks worse than the Rape of the Sabine Women of Rome.

     SELL ALL OUR USELESS FOR THE GOVERNMENT, GLCs ESPECIALLY THOSE CONNECTED WITH PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT.

     It does not make sense to the Rakyat when our Rakyat could not afford affordable homes on the one hand and on the other the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government poured billions of ringgits to build expensive home for those who can afford them.

     Kudos to the New and Incorruptible Government for doing the right thing by selling the useless IHH with its octopus reach in countries which have nothing to do with our beloved Malaysia.

     The less the New and Incorruptible Government is involved in MONEY MONEY MONEY the better. Otherwise, our beloved Malaysia and the Rakyat are held in BONDAGE BY SMOOTH TALKING CROOKS WHO HAVE NO NATIONAL INTEREST AT HEART AND THE WORD SOVEREIGNTY IS NOT IN THEIR VOCABULARY.

     THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS IS THE QUALITY OF THEIR TOYS, TUN !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Every sen the New and Incorruptible Government retrieves back is as precious as GOLD.

323. Tun

     What is better than to take a day trip out to the Mitsui Outlet Mall near the KLIA to see for myself how well this Mall is doing.

     My grand-daughter was keen to go as well because of her fondness for Japanese food which I taught her from young.

     Japanese food is healthy and nutritious. Throughout the World, outside of Asia, Japanese food is affordable and has the same standard. And they serve rice which is my staple diet ! Whenever I go to a European or North American city, I always made sure I have easy access to a Japanese restaurant near my lodging place.

     My fondness for Japanese food was cultivated when I did business with the Japanese traders of Kasho of Yokohama and Ishihara Sanyo in which I was a Director. Having a life-long desire for Japanese foods paid dividends in my later Life. That was the best one could do for one’s healthcare !

     But it was not so much about the Sushi King restaurant I was interested in but on the Mitsui Outlaet Mall itself which was established more than 5 years ago.- An American style Mall with lots of parking space. Well-designed to utilise natural lighting as much as possible. All the well-known brands are there. An extremely well-sited location within 3 miles of the KLIA.

     As always a curious bystander, I noted a Middle Eastern couple, many Vietnamese and Indonesians but only one Caucasian couple. No mainland Chinese were evident. Many buses brought these tourists to the Mall. The Malaysians were families with schoolchildren being on their school holidays.

     The Mitsui Outlet Mall is one of the best I have visited in Malaysia.

     The location of the washrooms in any Mall in my assessment on any Mall like in any factory.

     I could distinguish a Malaysian Chinese designed Mall immediately by the lackadaisical way in which the facilities for the aged like toilets and other conveniences are usually non-existent or sited at some difficult to reach nook and corner as an after-thought. It is the mercenary mind at work.

     But with the Mitsui Outlet Mall all things are balanced and I got a comfortable feeling ambling along the vast pedestrian avenues lined by World class brands displayed in well-fitted shops with the whole environment softened by groups of green foliage and trees. I just sat around for many hours- relaxed and happy.

     I could envisage that soon, the Mitsui Outlet Mall should receive its rightful and expected quantum of tourists by an increase of at least 3 fold given the Government’s effort to attract tourists.

     If other countries have been doing this for years, our beloved Malaysia surely could do the same.

     From 2004-2018, funds for the Ministry of Tourism were squandered away by Ministers who spent time in the wrong places and at the wrong time.. But with the New and Incorruptible Government, every sen spent will bring its reward in attracting more tourists by the travel agents who are the key in this cash business, not the Government.

     It would be good that other facilities like a hotel with sporting facilities are placed next to the Mitsui Outlet Mall as an additional hub of activity.

     All in all, our tourism industry is still young as previous Ministers were for Tourism and not of Tourism. I have never known Ministers of Tourism of other countries travelled at all or as much as the Malaysian Ministers did.

     In Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew put his sister-in-law as the Head of the Tourism Board until she retired. He certainly did not tolerate any monkey business by a Minister of Tourism which post does not exist in Singapore.

     A Malaysian Minister of Tourism could promote London tourism using Government funds to present an exhibit of Malaysian orchids which won the Gold Medal for promoting London at the upper class Royal Chelsea Flower Show.

     A high official of the Malaysian Tourist Board was dismissed for sticky fingers.

     Sime Darby could promote Ocean Racing in New Zealand which is one of the most bigoted countries in the World, for 9 years.

     A Minister brought her spouse for a trip to the Antipodes where kangaroos and sheep outnumbered the inhabitants. And this sort of list goes on and on with the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which was exclusive to all but a few.

     Malaysia BOleh Tun as always ! The Japanese are good examples of good governance in all the things they do in commerce and industry. No monkey business.

324. Tun

     A happy day for all of us to see Prof. Jomo awarded a distinctive academic award.

     From the beginning until today, he was consistent in pointing out the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP could not be accepted by our beloved Malaysia – Unlike those highest ranking Civil Servants who spoke for Singapore openly in the media and was ennobled for doing so.

     He was the only voice with an open and professional mind amongst the Malaysian economists who was professional and took an objective view of the TPPA/CPTPP – a Lee Kuan Yew creation to smash down the tariff barriers of Malaysia by the stroke of the pen of the corrupt.

     Thanks to Prof Jomo who finally found his metier at the right time and the right place after so many years garnering knowledge here and there. It is good that our beloved Malaysia still has many personalities like him in support of your New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great with DSAI by your side.

     Kudos again to Prof Jomo who is one of the active participants like you Tun in assisting the upward trek of our beloved Malaysia towards the Greats being Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan, as ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD. The others are Britain, Switzerland and Japan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No fake elites with fake Ph.Ds for us. We are Malaysians.

325. Tun

     This morning and today is typical of our climate under the North East Monsoon. Dull and grey without a whiff of wind or a drop of rain. We all went about doing our business. However when I got up this morning a thought struck my mind. The word was ‘OPPORTUNITY.’

     I reflected on the many opportunities which came your Way Tun and you grasped each and every one of them with both hands, successfully.

     Then I thought about your successors who had an easier time gaining the top post in the land and yet they both fell to the temptations of the weakness of the flesh and the soft under belly.

     It is alleged one of them held a very minor Civil Service post not too long ago and the other was well-ensconced with a noble background. Both lost the golden opportunities which many Malaysians hankered for and never obtained.

     And a good example of lost opportunities maybe illustrated by the proposed demonstrations against the non-issue ICERD and 4 other unknown UN Treaties to come.

     The raving crowd will rally in a place surrounded by Malay owned skyscrapers, munching Malay owned and made KFCs and dressed in Malay owned and made T shirts etc. These are the times, Tun.

     But the BN leaders missed the OPPORTUNITY to demonstrate against the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP which would have dispossessed the Malays and made the Chinese and Indians middlemen controlled and financed by Singapore if the BN had won on 9 May 2018.

     Your brilliance and courage took advantage of the OPPORTUNITY to grasp the nettle and won. This turned our beloved Malaysia overnight on 9 May 2018 into one of four important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. And now with the New Incorruptible Government under your Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side, Malaysia is trekking fast upwards to be with the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. For you Tun you took all the OPPORTUNITIES in hand and turned them into astounding achievements !

     Then we have Lee Kuan Yew missing GOLD at US$ 300 per ounce. If Singapore had only invested in 4,000 tons of GOLD from the 1990s onwards to 2008, she would be rubbing shoulders with the United States with 7,000 tons, Germany with 4,000 tons, Italy 3,000 tons, France 3,000 tons, Russia 2,000 tons, China 2,000 tons and India 1,000 tons with an unknown amount in private hands.

     But Lee Kuan Yew’s weakness caused him to miss OPPORTUNITIES like by being obsessed to do down Malaysia, narcissism and flattered by the gnomes of Zurich. Instead he came up with 4 Initiatives eg. Temasek, 2 casinos, importation of FTs to boost GDP and the TPPA/CPTPP which all failed. Man proposes. God disposes.

     With a mountain of GOLD, Singapore would have new industries and businesses like refining, banks, bonds, exchanges, warehousing, jewellery production, security, etc. And the huge military really guards the GOLD whether it is in Singapore or not.

     Hence when your achievements in garnering ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES SUCCESSFULLY WHICH BECAME TO YOU AS COMPARED WITH THE OTHER PERSONALITIES WHO HAD THEIR OPPORTUNITIES SERVED TO THEM ON A PLATE ? What more have we all to say ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Opportuniities have four legs, we have only two. Do not chase after them because we can never catch up with them.

326. Tun

     My humble apologies for a typo error in my previous comment. It should be………..900,000 Chinese males aged 21-50………..

327. Tun

     This morning I decided to say something different but aligned with Democracy of Nations in our World.

     This morning also confirms that the North East Monsoon is still with us.

     Minor snippets of news were of a localised nature, here and there. But we are conscious that the naysayers are plotting or waiting for something to happen which will not happen because there are no cogent reasons for anything to happen even with the non-issue ICERD.

     And what is an interesting subject which will catch the eye of the curious ? I am aware all these are carefully monitored by busybodies. Hence I stuck strictly to facts concerning who and who down South. Thus :-

     Our closest and dearest neighbour and geographic twin, the Republic of Singapore appears to have lost its mojo since the end of the Cold War 1948-1989.

     The BRICS literally grabbed her huge under-counter trades (2-3% of her GDP) which were highly profitable and beneficial for a tiny population of less than 2 million governed by a clean and honest Government. This largesse pushed her from the Third to the First World.

     This was the real Singapore/Lee Kuan Yew Miracle not those glittering buildings, gardens, first class education, hospitals, clean streets, Jurong factories, Temasek, GLCs etc. which actually do not make money and require money for upkeep to 1st World standards.

     As a result of Singapore’s inability to breach the 3% GDP for 15 years, 2002-2017, this means there was no growth due to the persistent and lingering inflation rate which is chronic in most economic systems and the loss of the under-counter trades to the BRICS.

     Tourism for Singapore is dependent on China. Exports could not replace those hidden revenues of the go-go years of the Cold War at 7% GDP 1948-1989. Those were halcyon days of easy money for the Government of Singapore.

     And now with super-powers playing the game of chess with Trade as the War Plan and petroleum the ultimate weapon of choice, all Nations big and small have their economy upset by uncertainty whether things are coming or going. How for Singapore with a population of Chinese males aged 21-50 ?

     Tun as we are friends with the good and the great of Singapore, it seems to me that a Concept for Singapore’s future is for the Republic to CONFEDERATE with the United Kingdom.

     The First Confederation of States in the World. The First Tele-parliament too.

     Singapore’s huge military of men and machines could now be reduced to sensible levels with the new joint defence force command and bring more stability to ASEAN.

     With our beloved Malaysia fast becoming the Asian Switzerland in the making, this Concept provides an ideal fit for Singapore’s successful survival and sustainability as an Independent State in Confederation with the United Kingdom. Scotland will not exit from the United Kingdom with this Concept.

     The FTs could be trimmed down. Social benefits for the Singaporeans from cradle to grave. And her honest and capable Government can fine tune its Good Governance to a T for the benefits of its citizens ! Then, where else but Singapore ?

     I strongly believe this Concept of the Confederation of Singapore and the United Kingdom will not only be the Best in the World but also for ASEAN and ASIA which will stand to benefit.

     This is in line with your thoughts on the CREATION OF MONEY WITHOUT MONEY, TUN and not Cash is King which makes a person becomes a THIEF TO GRAB MORE AND MORE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! A Confederation of Singapore and the United Kingdom is good for all of us ASEAN, ASIA and the World.

     Malaysian politics as practised under our Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias and our loyalty and devotion towards our beloved Constitution, the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans have brought forth all kinds of frivolous comments or proposals on the ICERD by the Opposition with the ardent support of the Opposition Media, thus :-

     1. One Opposition pundit could detect threats to the Malays from 5 more UN Treaties ! This is like my late brother who cautioned that we should not do any business because the as yet unborn generations might sue us for our acts today ! There are brains like this !

     2. In the midst of all the dust churned up, a lady claims to be able to do a double Ph.D. As you are aware, out country is full of Ph.Ds and Ph.Ds and Ph.Ds.

     3. Someone keeps on insisting there could be a connection betwee ICERD and 13 May 1969 ! How could this be when in 1969 there were years of built-up of political and socio-economic tensions from the have-nots and political agitations and instigations which culminated in one final explosion.

     In this faux politicised ICERD, the participants are dressed in clean T-shirts with KFC coupons and other goodies in their pockets SURROUNDED BY SKYSCRAPERS OWNED BY THE MALAYS ! In 1969, there were very few Malays in KL and other towns.

     4. ICERD is a non-issue WHEN NO ONE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT OUR BELOVED CONSITTUTION SAFE-GUARDED BY THE YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG AND THE ROYAL SULTANS WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY YOU TUN WITH DSAI AND THE TEAM BY YOUR SIDE. They should try harder next time.

     5. This whole episode is the Opposition’s last stand to create something out of nothing.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our Constitution as safeguarded by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans supported by the New and Incorruptible Government as led by you and DSAI and the Team by your side, holds sway for all. No more. No less.

329. Tun

     There is now an attempt to connect the ICERD with the causes of the 13 May 1969 riots by the Opposition media which are irresponsible and non-factual as we know it. I was there right in the middle of the demonstrations, the riots etc. These are the facts. My view of the causes of the 13 May 1969 Riots and the Non-issue ICERD – It’s like chalk and cheese ! :-

     1. From 1957-1972. The Policy of the Government was the Colonial Currency Board Policy. The country spent what it earned based on the exports of rubber and tin only. There were no palm oil which was controlled by 5 Colonial trading houses, Socfin, East Asiatic, H & C, Guthrie and Boustead, or manufactures or FTZs. Our economy was not diversified. As a result, my Malay friends and other non-Malay graduates were poor on their return from overseas. They all began under very humble circumstances as you are aware, Tun. There was no OD. housing loans, credit cards, or financing for SME. The Malays were locked out of their own country since 1n 1957 until the Currency Board of Malaysia, Singapore, Sahah, Sarawak and Brunei was disbanded in 1972. I was there. With the NEP and the BNM taking its full place in the Sun then Malaysia finally blossomed under your 22 year Administration, Tun. I was there.

     2. In 1967 there were the Penang Riots due to the imposition of duties on goods imported into Penang.

     3. From 1964-1965, there were heated exchanges in the Dewan Rakyat between Lee Kuan Yew and the Malaysians in the Government. This was when the refrain concocted by Lee Kuan Yew was raised,’ Malaysia for Malaysians.’ A mischievous phrase with deep emotional meanings. I was there.

     4. An unfortunate incident at Kepong raised the ire of the Opposition. There was a demonstration at Foch Avenue, (now Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock) I was there.

     5. In the 1964 GE, there was a huge rally at Suleiman Court, KL by Lee Kuan Yew who worked up all in attendance. I was there

     6. Lee Kuan Yew formed a Malaysian political party in his own image in 1966 after his ignominious defeat by the Tunku at the 1964 GE.

     7. For the May 1969 GE I was offered the best seat for a Chinese – the Kuala Kubu seat with the State Exco seat by Tun Tan Siew Sin with the blessing of the Tunku and Tun Abdul Razak. My advisers the most senior Chinese adviser on Counter-Insurgency to the Federal Government, Tan Sri Dr C. C. Too and my friends in UMNO Youth advised against my accepting the offer. My friend Datuk Chan Keong Hon won by only 450 votes which had a majority of 5,000 votes previously.

     8. Post-elections celebrations by the Opposition were horrible along Jalan Sultan, Jalan Imbi etc with drums and cymbals making a din. I was there.

     9. On that fateful day 13 May 1969 at 2.30 pm the MCA pulled out of the Alliance in a pique. The Riots began at 5 p.m. for whatever the reason. The MCA returned to the Alliance at 10 PM which was far too late. I was there in my house.

     10. In 1969 and until 1972, there was no restriction to cross the Causeway. There was complete freedom of movement by gangsters and others. Hence, another factor which could have fuelled the incendiary ingredients lit by the catalyst of the GE results of 1969.

     11. AND EVERY ONE WHO WERE ACTIVE IN EVENTS LEADING TO THE 13TH MAY 1969 RIOTS AND ITS PARTICIPATIN HAD A REAL GRUDGE WHICH MADE UP THE EXPLOSIVE MIX OF A TRAGEDY ! The general dissatisfaction of all the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians and all whipped up by raw political instigation !

     BUT ON ICERD WHERE IS/ARE THE ISSUE OR ISSUES Taking into cognizance the fact that billions and billions of ringgits were stolen (by you all know who were responsible).

     In 1969, my Malay friends had to stay with their Civil Servant relatives and had no money to buy the things they most desired. I WAS THERE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Where else but Malaysia ?

330. Tun

     The north-east monsoon is engulfing us more and more as the dull and grey mornings confirmed these days. For us, this is part of a typical classic Malaysian morning.

     But when I was a boy, my year-end holidays were either in Penang or Singapore which had dull and rainy weather like this. And I got the impression that these places were forever cloaked in such uninspiring weather. That was my past impression as an ignorant boy.

     However, as I grew into an adult, I began to understand more and I am still learning. Like this ICERD, ICERD, ICERD thing which grew out of nowhere which is whipped around by the Opposition as a headless monster worthy of huge political rallies by leaders who are aware the sanctity of our beloved Malaysia’s Constitution as safeguarded by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans since its promulgation after carefully consideration and vetting by the leaders of all parties concerned.

     Not only that, the Consitution had proved that it is a doable one which had enshrined all the possible safeguards for the Majority and the Minority under our Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias.

     Through the years, those who sought the benefits of another Constitution have emigrated. Every person has a choice.

     And it is up to those with the Power, the Will and the Ideas to make our beloved Malaysia a better World always. And this task is forever unending for all in play.

     But the World we live in today is fraught with hidden dangers for our wherewithal since Uncle Sam’s post-Cold War spiel, ‘Globalization, Free Trade, Human Rights’.

     After the Cold War 1948-1989, Singapore was not only badly hit but was denuded of at least 2%-3% of her lush Black Under-counter Trades from 1948-1990 after the BRICS moved into her turf. From 2002-2017, 15 years, Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% while she enjoyed a GDP of 7% during the Cold War, 1948-1990.

     With the sudden change of US Presidency in 2016, Singapore lost not only her Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP which would have ensured her future Survival and Sustainability by turning our beloved Malaysia into a Slave Colony of tiny Singapore but also her mojo the US Democrats !

     Such are the vagaries of Life whether it is about a country or a person. Man proposes. God disposes.

     And overnight, our beloved Malaysia having been financially raped by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government for 14 years, 2004-2018 became one of the 4 most important small countries of the World.

     And under the aegis of the New and Incorruptible Government as led by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side, Malaysia will fast trek upwards to the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan WITHOUT THE ICERD but only on the back of our home-crafted Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias Constitution as safeguarded by our Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans. This has brought us peace and harmony always.

     And when the BN Leadership sought ways to line their own pockets like between 2004-2018, like the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government ?

     The whole Power Pyramidal Structure collapsed into dust when the whole Establishment, Leaders, elites and all were corrupted and forgot their own pledges to serve the Constitution, the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and the RAKYAT.

     How could it be explained that a non-descript minor Government Official could amassed RM 2 Billion in a matter of a few years ?

     The confirmation of the rot which has affected the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government by aping authoritarian Singapore with her GLCs is now coming home to roost as published in The Star on Saturday 24 November 2018 on the purported losses by the Government’s holdings in the shares of the GLCs.

     No Western democratic government in the World does business for many reasons eg corruption, abuse of power, direct competition with the private sector etc.

     In the case of Malaysia, such absurd BN attitude towards Good Governance is now coming home to roost as the horror of gigantic corruption and losses in GLCs manned by people who have no business sense or ETHICS, is now more and more confirmed daily. Business has no place for the Government anywhere in the World.

     How could monopolies like MAS, Telekom, or solid Sime Darby, FELDA and many others lose MONEY ? Where else but Malaysia ?

     And here are two factual examples of corruption affecting even the smallest crevice by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which will shock you all Tun :

     1. A half acre of land with beautiful trees reserved for a surau which was undisturbed for 34 years along Jalan Sri Hartamas 1, Kuala Lumpur was denuded of all vegetation to build a MOTORCAR SHOWROOM just a few months before 9 May 2018. This horrible piece of handiwork is now lying abandoned with its metal fencing etc providing a spectacle of a bombed out battlefield. There was a last minute rush to complete even working at mid-night. But to no avail. The Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government lost.

     2. My friend who established his restaurant in this Selangor PKNS Damansara property since 1996, 22 years which was developed VERY WELL by Selangor PKNS from the 1960s, told me that the property was sold to PNB and on-sold again to a Tan Sri probably at a sugar-daddy price. He expects to be served a Quit Notice soon. SEE HOW CORRUPT AND UNCARING THE BN GOVERNMENT WAS ! A Selangor PKNS Trust property which was in its possession for at least 40 years was sold to another Trust PNB which was on-sold to a private person probably at an absurdly low price deliberately forgetting its entrusted role for the Malays as their Trustee by making commercial moves in their own personal interest !

     THE EXPLOITATION OF PUBLIC MALAY TRUST ASSETS TO MAKE MONEY EVEN AT THIS MICROSCOPIC LEVEL AS THESE TWO SMALL EXAMPLES SHOWED that no tiny crevice is left untouched or not raped by the officials of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government ! Where else but Malaysia ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

331. Good evening!

     Sdr Mubarak,

     I think the fear, is a natural fear. Its not about politician pakat pergi demo. Since a month ago I read all postings from friends, really nampak the swing.

     My friends mostly bukan politician or orang kanan politician. Though ada but very small percentage.

     I think PH should be more careful. Even here you tengok HBT postings OMG boleh create hatred and yet lepas also. No tapis2. Its like sini suka forummers gaduh gaduh.

     Goodnight Mubarak!

332. Tun.

     As the successful year 2018, is fast coming to a close and the school holidays have begun in earnest, this week was the week that was.

     ICERD – the non-issue which was picked up by both sides as an ISSUE arising out of a NON-ISSUE ! Petroleum prices dropped like bricks ! The small-holders giant savings bank FELDA cleaned out of cash by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government !

     Soon the hapless FELDA small-holders will require 3 giant bail-outs.

     But these events will not upset the stable equilibrium which had been set in place during your 22 year Administration 1981 – 2003.

     I am referring your important and significant creation of the 6 to 8 Million strong Malay Middle Income Group which was non-existent as late as 1981 !

     History plays an important part of our beloved Malaysia, its soul and body. We should never forget historical events which formed our existence today. If all are conversant with our Constitution safe-guarded by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans, they would not bother to run around the hot and humid streets of KL !

     It is the ignorance on both sides of the political divide which caused this so. And the stability today as provided by the 6 – 8 Million Malay Middle Income Group together with 6 – 8 Million of the Non-Malay Middle Income Group is a powerful force to reckon with which provides the peace and harmony through its valuable social ballast today. Somewhat like the 350 Million English speaking Indians of India !

     This is our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s greatest and finest achievement in the face of the non-existence of anything but only his Executive Will and Power as a Prime Minister 1981 – 2003. The Malay Middle Income Group was created out of nowhere so to speak. As at 13 May 1969, the best assets of Malaysia were owned 70% by the British, 25% of the 3rd rate assets the Chinese and only 2% the Malays.

     The first brilliant and courageous act of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad we must never forget.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

333. Tun,

     For Jho Lo. You are actually not the Villain of the piece but a Malaysian Hero in time which will be recorded in history.

     Our beloved Malaysia was to be delivered as a Slave Colony of Singapore by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government via the TPPA/CPTPP after the 14th GE. Because of your mistake which is a small price to pay, our beloved Malaysia can now fast trek upwards to the First Tier of Development as led by the New and Incorruptible Government of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the Team by his side.

     This is the bright side of the proverbial coin as I see it, Jho Lo !

     Malaysia Boleh Jho Lo ! No problem.

334. Tun

     Another dull and cool morning today !

     My happiness is to see my grand-daughter collecting something from her favourite SMK being the last day for her in school. Next year for her is another year. It is good to see our grand-children grow up normally in a peaceful and harmonious environment like our beloved Malaysia.

     On this score, I think about Jho Lo who is now a fugitive somewhere in this small World of ours.

     My message to him is, ‘ Jho Lo, your Life expectation is at least another 70 years.

     Countless numbers of Malaysians have contributed to our beloved Malaysia without reward of any kind.

     We all recognise you have made a mistake. I for one make mistakes every day. You did not murder anyone but your mistake only concerned money.

     Is MONET MONEY MONEY all that important as you age along in life hiding from the Interpol ?

     My sincere advice to you is to return home and admit that it was all a mistake as a honourable Chinese and you will find it will not be as bad as what you envisage in your mind now.

     Come home, Jho Lo and save our beloved Malaysia from all the headaches and time tracing you and the MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.

     You may not have heard of me but I could deliver to the Malaysian interests in 1972-1975 their first BIG BUSINESS CONGLOMERATE FOR ONLY RM 23 MILLION WHICH THE SAME MALAYSIAN MANAGEMENT COULD BANKRUPT IT TWICE AT RM 1.20 BILLION IN 1996 and RM 2.10 BILLION IM 2010 RESPECTIVELY AND WAS NOT CHARGED OR GO TO JAIL.

     My total reward for the delivery of Sime Darby was just RM 500,000 before tax for 18 years as a Director. And I am exceedingly HAPPY ! It was not the MONEY but the ACHIEVEMENT OF DOING SOMETHING FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA LIKE OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND HIS COLLEAGUES !

     Nowadays, some fellows will just throw this RM 500,000 or more on one card at a casino as you are aware.

     Our beloved Malaysia is unique in many respects. Come home, Jho Lo ! Be a honourable Malaysian.

     AS IT IS SAID, ‘ THE AMERICANS FORGET EASILY. THE BRITISH TRY NOT TO FORGET. THE FRENCH NEVER FORGET. THE CHINESE NEVER NEVER NEVER FORGET. THE MALAYSIANS FORGIVE AND FORGET.’

     Come home, Jho Lo you have not murdered anyone. After all it’s only MONEY MONEY MONEY. And you are not the one and only. I can give you a whole list of fellows who have done worst things than you, Jho, Lo !

     Malaysia Boleh, Jho Lo, as always ! No problem. Come home and help Tun and us to make Malaysia Great, Jho Lo ! The Season’s Greetings and a Happy New Year to you Jho Lo ! No hard feelings, Jho Lo ! We are Malaysians !

335. Tun

     Suddenly a new issue has cropped up. It’s ICERD, ICERD, ICERD.

     Out of no where or out of the blue, this became an issue of some importance as the matter ICERD, ICERD, ICERD is being whipped up politically with the intensity of marshalling crowds and crowds of people all up in arms to protest at ICERD, a NON_ISSUE. From zero base, this ICERD which has not appeared in any form until now, apparently appeared sponsored by someone somewhere sometime.

     One of your major Parties has denied anything to do with ICERD.

     Since ICERD does not exist legally and as you rightly pointed out only a 2/3rd majority will legalise ICERD, where is the issue on the subject of a non-issue when no single party has a 2/3rd majority ?

     And if the Prime Minister of the New and Incorruptible Government has said it takes a 2/3rd majority to turn ICERD legal to exist in Malaysia, only then this becomes an issue. Where is ICERD an issue which has no locus standi ?

     But there are media reports on forthcoming rallies of thousands against this ICERD which is a non-issue and ICERD floats in the head of maybe of only one proposer. How to protest against a non-issue which exists in the head of a Minority of one or two ?

     In our Malaysian Style Democracy which subscribes to our Constitution, our loyalty and devotion to the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans, peaceful protests are permitted given certain parameters.

     But in this case of ICERD which exists only in the minds of a Minority of one or two, how to protest ?

     The Constitution already protected the Majority for 61 years since Merdeka. Without the 2/3rd Majority as the Tun said, the ICERD will forever be a non-issue.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

336. Tun

     A dull and calm morning today which is as good as any other. But the headlines are sizzling hot to the cognoscenti of esoteric subjects, thus :-
     1. Singapore’s 3rd Quarter Y/Y 3% disappoints. Estimate 4%.

     2. Singapore’s 2019 Growth weakens from slowing major Export Countries.

     These are ominous headlines for us and foretell what will happen also to our beloved Malaysia’s future Growth and Economy. Forewarned is forearmed, Tun.

     The bright side of the proverbial coin is that our beloved Malaysia is now under your Leadership with the New and Incorruptible Government which lately set out the 4 Thrusts of Policies being Foreign, Economic, Education and Health.

     This is like the old saying, ‘ You must have Peace and Harmony at Home before you can win fighting in the streets.’

     Now we are all set to emerge Strong, United and Proud after the Perfect Storm to come which is the Trade War which you mentioned in Singapore recently, Tun. And Petroleum is used as a Weapon of choice !

     Not only that, with our Foreign Policy shaped as ‘friends of all and enemy to none.’ this is sound and basic.

     A firm determination to do things well by your Team and DSAI by your side, Tun, our beloved Malaysia will navigate all sorts of whirlpools or minefields without mishap.

     Unlike the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government who had our beloved Malaysia (31 Millions) hung and quartered for delivery via TPPA/CPTPP as a slave Colony to tiny Singapore with 900,000 male Chinese, aged 21 to 50 years.

     Not only that, our beloved Malaysia would have been turned into a Dictatorship like a South American country with the Dictator ruling the whole country with all being utterly poor and dressed in rags.

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     Fortunately this did not happen due to the brilliance and courage of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Some of the Rakyat is still not aware of the importance and significance of this, Tun. I do not blame them due to the peaceful and legal Democratic System of our beloved Malaysia.

     Forewarned is forearmed, Tun ! I have every confidence our beloved Malaysia will rise and rise after emerging from the Perfect Storm under your Leadership. No problem.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

337. Tun

     These few mornings will see the school year ending for my grand-daughter who has not missed a single day in the SMK throughout the year. She loves the SMK, the teachers and her fellow students. She has the proper mind set. This is important in later Life. I discouraged her from malingering even though I loved to stay in bed past 5.30 a.m.

     This is the most important hour of the day for planter whether manager or worker. A colonial practice when the day is cool and conducive to open air manual work. By 10 a.m. most of the work is done in a plantation.

     An interesting headline this morning in The Star, thus :-

     1. ‘FELDA CASH POSER’. This article poses more questions than answers on the subject being FELDA. However, certain basic facts about the plantation industry should be known if a person wants to know and understand more about it.

     1. A plantation is managed according to the weather in the mornings. If rain comes, the colonial practice was no-pay for the worker for dong no work.
     2. Not only that, the produce of a plantation is sold subjected to the vagaries of the market price which may go high or down depending on demand. And in the case of the palm oil, the international demand.
     3. The cost of production is kept as low as possible. From the number of bunches a worker harvests to the efficiency of the oil mill which crushes the palm fruits to produce the 1st grade of raw oil which is orange in colour. If the Mill Manager is crooked, he would let more raw oil into the waste of palm oil sludge. At the end, this will add up to the inefficiency of the estate. Hence, a badly managed estate or small holders holdings are less efficient in terms of scale than the large privately owned estates. The production of palm oil per hectare shows.
     4. No proper planter borrows from the bank to plant the estate. The word is never borrow to plant oil palms or rubber trees in view of the high risks of investment in a plantation, the slowest business in the World.
     5. For every Ringgit profit made by the estate from the sale of the palm oil or rubber, a minimum of 30 sens is reserved for replanting. To be on the safe side, the more reserves the better.
     6. The reserves of cash is NEVER invested in fixed assets like hotels, office buildings, shares, illiquid investments etc. Because when the plantation requires cash, none is available to weed, apply fertilizer, replant or care for the workers who may leave the plantation looking for another job.
     7. The owner must be hands on dealing with the management of a plantation because the manager and the employees must be aware that the owner cares for them in a profession which calls for getting up at 4.30 a.m. and stopping work at 12 p.m. every day of the week if there is no rainfall. Otherwise, demoralisation sets in and all sorts of negative acts take place. Managing a plantation even though it is one of the slowest business, is a 24 hour job. In a way, a planter has an unusual job at hand.
     8. There is no place for an air-conditioned executive or planter in his suit or a politician to oversee a plantation business. They would not know how to begin.
     9. Not one sen should be taken out of the Plantation System because in the past there were great crises affecting the rubber price or the palm price which led to bankruptcies of the undertakings.
     10. With expanding acreages of oil palm around the World and competition against at least 7 other edible oils with an overlay of politics, the palm oil has a tough role to play to make profits.

     If we check out the above points Tun against what happened to FELDA since it came out of its socio-economic cocoon in 2012, we will find THAT THE MODEL APPLIED TO FELDA AS A PUBLIC LISTED ENTITY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, IS COMPLETELY WRONG.

     The listing of whatever should NEVER have taken place because as we can envisage now, the paper money of RM 6 Billion which was created at the beginning, is now all gone. On top of this, another RM 8 Billion debt was created with a back-drop OF FALLING PALM OIL PRICES !

     With all due respect, the FELDA smallholders have been CHEATED OF THEIR WEALTH AND LIVELIHOOD BY THOSE WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE RISKS OF MANAGING A PLANTATION BUT ONLY TO GRAB MONEY.

     I foresee the deficit is not RM 8 Billion but much more which the New and Incorruptible Government will have put into FELDA eg. One bail-out for the settlers. Another to up-keep the plantations. A third bail-out for replanting the old palms. These bail-outs will cost more than RM 8 Billion as these are RECURRENT !

     Hence, when huge amounts of money are siphoned off into illiquid investments out of FELDA, there is NO MONEY LEFT FOR THE PLANTATIONS vis-a vis the settlers.

     It is common sense that TWO BUSINESSES CANNOT BE CREATED OUT OF ONE TO MAKE MONEY. Whoever thought of doing this MODEL must be blind, deaf and dumb !

     Tun, the FELDA Scandal to come is 2MDB ! Those responsible should be charged in Court for recommending such an absurd Scheme to those who mis-managed it . Who were the Advisers ?

     Our beloved Malaysia had the BEST SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCHEME FOR THE RAKYAT IN THE WORLD AS ENVISAGED BY THE GREAT STATESMAN TUN ABDUL RAZAK, A TRUE PATRIOT WITHOUT A PEER until this Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government Leaders began to rape every niche in the land eg. from the hard-working doctors, Bangla-deshis to the settlers and small-holders. Their Greed knew no bounds.

     Quoting the famous Tun Ismail Mohd Ali, ‘ The whole FELDA Scheme stinks !’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! With the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government even the hundreds of thousands of small-holders (who were well-looked after by the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak, his trusted confidant Tan Sri Taib Andak and the reliable and superb Raja Tan Sri R.M Alias) were not spared !

338. Good evening!

     Singapore lawmaker blasts Facebook over refusal to take down ‘false’ post

     https://www.thestar.com.my/news/world/2018/11/20/singapore-lawmaker-blasts-facebook-over-refusal-to-take-down-false-post/

     – How about Malaysia invite Facebook to open their office in Malaysia? I think that’s a good idea.

     The latest issue of the MMA News has three interesting articles of note, thus :-

     1. Founding Member of ICAN Nobel Peace Prize Winner – Datuk Seri Dr Ronald S McCoy – a humble and Great Malaysian.

     2. Leadership – Do you have what it takes ?. Quote Martin Luther King Jr.

     ” The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”

     3. An afternoon with Dr Andrew Choo –

     Quote, ” However, he believes that if more principled people (e.g. doctors, professionals) go into politics, there would be less temptation as they do not need to depend on politics for monetary gains. “The results of GE14 should not make us complacent. If not for Tun Dr Mahathir, who was brave enough to stand up and be heard, things would NOT have changed.” he advises.

     Tun, here are 3 notable articles from the Journal of the MMA which encapsulate the importance of the views of a respected profession which was brutalised not too long ago by the Ministers of Health of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which ended this year 2018 by demanding experienced General Practitioners to take exams to qualify for their Annual Practising Licence which had never happened before or in any other country for over 100 years.

     I lost my Licence this year which I cherished since 1962.

     Corruption by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government knew no bounds ! It is alleged the Ministers of Health of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government were in collusion not only with the tycoons with pharmacy chains to give the dispensing rights to medically unqualified pharmacists but also with INSURANCE COMPANIES.

     Money money money free for all under the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government !

     Every little niche where MONEY was to be found the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government raped big time. No niche is spared. As a result, the cost of living rockets sky high under a cloak of lies and greed.

     Tun, this is a good time to cleanse the Augean Stables which are worse than the Rape of the Sabine Women of ancient Rome and put our beloved Malaysia on her rightful and designated path to Greatness and Glory.

     No more little small minded crooks to hold POWER over us the Rakyat.

     We all support you Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad with DSAI and the New and Incorruptible Government by your side.

     Together we the Rakyat will go places with the 4 Thrusts Policies, Foreign, Economic, Education and Health.

     There is only ONE WAY, Tun, YOUR WAY AND IT IS UP AND UP.

     No more 12,000 pieces of jewellery under the bed or one bribe of RM 187 Million plus a RM 5 Million baksheesh.

     We are Malaysians, Normal, Civilised , United and Strong. Nothing will deter us from reaching the top-most Tier of Human Endeavour through the National Car Project and all the goodies to come from the New and Incorruptible Government in which we trust.

     Malaysia Bolleh Tun as always ! No problem.

340. Tun

     Welcome home again.

     And the lovely Malaysian morning smiles with you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah with the bright sunshine, blue sky and cumulus clouds floating by !

     By chance I wandered into a Japanese bakery in my district staffed by young Japanese and patronised by the old silver haired Japanese. The latter were their frugal-selves as usual

     Reflecting on this peaceful and happy scene, I thought about your pioneering Japanese bakery shop of many years ago which heralded and attracted these young Japanese to come all the way from Japan to set-up shop here. And the silver haired Japanese retirees who have made our beloved Malaysia their Second Home. What better testimonials than these that Malaysia is and has always been to the cognoscenti to be on par with the best for a normal and decent living.

     The Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government between 2004 to 2018 nearly completely raped and slaughtered our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat.

     It is horrifying to note that Leaders with the most power could wallop a single bribe at RM 187 Million plus another RM 5 Million as baksheesh !

     My 1972 Sime Darby Concept could deliver to the Malays with the support of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak, YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah for only Pernas RM 23 Million cash and by 2 Singaporean banks blessed by their Boss ex gratis !

     It’s crazy, Tun !

     Like the saying,’ When Greed knows no bounds, it’s like a snake swallowing an elephant.’ And I thought that my jocular comments on 10,000 Rolex were the limit. But a few days ago, I was proved wrong. A figure of 12,000 pieces of jewellery were mentioned in Court !

     However what I mentioned are the nitty-gritty of Greed and Power. The important scenario now before us is the fact on the information and observation which you have personally gathered at the 2 important forums in Singapore and Port Moresby in recent weeks.

     As an observer, it was crystal clear to me that thanks to the collapse of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government on 9 May 2018, the cleaning of the Augean Stables ( worst then the Rape of the Sabine Women of Ancient Rome ) by the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great as led by you is a routine matter to bring the whole beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat back to an even keel of Normality BUT THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD UP OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS AN ASIAN SWITZERLAND IN THE MAKING UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, TUN. Trekking upwards to the likes of the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan – To become one of the most formidable and strong countries of the World. The Malaysians, the Malays, the Chinese, the Indians, the Kadazans, Ibans and all can and will do this under your proven brilliant and courageous Leadership.

     There was a timely and appropriate comment by the FM this morning. He wants us to focus on the 3 thrusts being the economy, education and health. These 3 thrusts fit Malaysia to get up there with the 3 Greats under your Leadership to a T. After everyone is tired of hearing this corrupt BN Leader was probed 28 times and another 130 times. The most probed politicians in the World, Tun !

     Yes Tun ! All the essential ingredients to transform our beloved Malaysia into a GREAT are there.

     The peaceful and democratic GE 14 is the first essential ingredient followed by the expression of policies to win the confidence and support of the Rakyat.

     Now, the 3 THRUSTS POLICY AND NOT THE MULTI-PROBES OF CORRUPT BN POLITICIANS which encompasses the National Car Project, a sensible and proper School Curriculum for average students helmed by our Dynamic Helmsman, the expectations of future Fair, Just and Normal Policies applied on a good citizenry, other Socio-economic goodies to come, and finally, an astute and wise Foreign Policy of great importance, will be the WAY to go, Tun under your Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side.

     Cheeky opposition naysayers have been trying to split the New and Incorruptible Government as led by you Tun as ONE MAN SHOWS. This does not happen anymore in the New Era Malaysia unlike under the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government when a person can ask for a single bribe of RM 187 Million with another RM 5 Million as baksheesh !

     Hence, sports are great for schools to train young Malaysians to work AS A TEAM TOGETHER instead of firing blanks in all directions when they achieved positions of POWER !

     I must confess I only took up sports after I graduated. Once I nearly drowned off Port Dickson. Different strokes for different folks, Tun !

     WITH A CLEAN SLATE, AND THE REALIZATION THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA SHOULD BE ASIA’S SWITZERLAND IN THE MAKING MADE POSSIBLE BY THE MALAYSIANS, THE MALAYS, THE CHINESE, THE INDIANS, KADAZANS, IBANS AND ALL, and also, as ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, TUN, our beloved Malaysia will be recognised more and more as an important VOICE of WISDOM in all future INTERNATIONAL FORUMS unlike under the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government when we were just abang-adeks from the Ulus, North of Singapore !

     Yes Tun !

     IT IS THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT’S POLICY OF THE FOUR THRUSTS (WITH MY APOLOGIES TO THE YB FM). – THE FOREIGN POLICY, THE ECONOMIC POLICY, THE EDUCATION POLICY AND THE HEALTH POLICY as led by you with DSAI and the Team by your side. We will all be there. No more. No less. Man proposes. God disposes !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

341. Tun

     With the clean slate which is now before us. NO CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES, NO CORRUPTION OR NEPOTISM, NO EXECUTIVED ABUSE OF SIME DARBY FOR OVER TWO GENERATIONS. our minds and hearts are now completely FOCUS on the immediate task at hand which is the successful launch of the National Car Project in fulfilment of all our DREAMS for the success of our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat.

     Only ONE WAY to go, Tun ! Your WAY.

     And after 5 mornings, the sun has finally come out smiling with blue sky and white clouds !

     From what little to know or experienced a Life-time, a suitable choice as a strategic partner for Sime Darby in this automotive venture is a Japanese motor-car company.

     As an independently minded person, I have traded and knew the Japanese when I was young. They did not disappoint me in any way. I like their go-go attitude in business. Their straight-forwardness, honesty, conformity, discipline, courtesy etc which are all geared to make money but without any warts or leave a bad taste in the mouth.

     The Japanese record in business is legend being visionary, innovative and creative. From their little boxes of Datsuns, Hondas and Toyatas with four wheels in the 1950s, these cars in 2018 are now competing with the best of Germany !

     This time round, hopefully, the engine is made in its entirety in Malaysia and avoid any notion of CKD assembly because then the whole plot in building a motorcar is lost.

     Maybe with aggressive rivals this time round, such a normal and fair request is doable to the Japanese because it is to their benefit and mutual benefits that they do not drive us into the arms of their rivals whoever they are.

     This is good business for the Japanese making a National Car in the NEXUS of ASEAN with a population of 630 Million. Times have changed, Tun. Strike while the iron is hot !

     Yes ! Malaysia should choose a partner with an established record so that we can learn from them as well.

     And as we are the Asian Switzerland in the making, it pays we have as many different countries invested in our midst as possible and avoid a LOP-SIDED SITUATION !

     These are wondrous days for all the Rakyat, Tun. The New Era of true Malaysian endeavours trekking upwards to rub shoulders with the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan under your brilliant and courageous Leadership with DSAI and the Team by your side.

     II IS NOW OR NEVER FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND THE RAKYAT, TUN !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! No problem.

342. Tun

     Not only these are interesting and difficult times.

     But these are times when a person stands up to be counted in a situation of all things being equal. Now that we have a Good Young and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great with DSAI by your side.

     These are times when we Malaysians have finally obtained a change for better values in terms of everything which give us hope to improve ourselves and our beloved Malaysia, and push her towards the highest tier possible for our future generations to come.

     IF WE DO NOT DO THIS NOW UNDER YOUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS LEADERSHIP WE WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN.

     A chance of a Life time and for Sime Darby a chance after TWO GENERATIONS !

     The brake on our Development and Progress caused by the RAPINE YEARS OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT – 2004 to 2018. With so much money stolen how could our beloved Malaysia progress during 2004 to 2018 ? Could all the statistics be FAKED ?

     However, it is not about the RAPINE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT I AM TALKING ABOUT BUT A MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE WHICH HAS ALWAYS CONCERNED THOSE LIKE YOURSELF TUN !

     It is how to uplift the MALAYS ONTO A PERMANENT HIGHEST PLANE OF ENDEAVOUR because without this element of achievement, the CHINESE, INDIANS, KADAZANS, IBANS AND ALL CANNOT PROGRESS.

     A Nation cannot and should not be lop-sided in any facet or sphere of activity but be evenly and fairly guided by the Leadership.

     I NOW STAND UP TO BE COUNTED.

     I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT A CREDIBLE NATIONAL CAR PROJECT OF SOME MAGNITUDE THE MALAYS WILL FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH UP TO THE HIGHEST TIER OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS.

     The Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans and all will also be retarded.

     Also, the other industries like the hi-tech, bio-tech etc are not conducive and effective like the automotive industry to up-lift NOT ONLY THE MALAYS BUT ALSO THE CHINESE, INDIANS, KADAZANS, IBANS AND ALL.

     THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY IN ALL ITS ASPECTS IS THE WAY TO GO, TUN.

     TUN, YOU WERE COMPLETELY CORRECT IN YOUR THINKING AND DECISION OVER TWO GENERATIONS AGO. And you are even more correct today, 2018 ! It is the automotive industry which will create the biggest cake for all the Rakyat for now and the future. There are no two ways about this. Only one Way, Tun. YOUR WAY !

     Hence, when the Executives in Sime Darby expressed an interest in the forthcoming Third National Car Project, I was completely bowled over as some people say.

     FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS ON THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH TUN !

     Sell off all the useless assets of Sime Darby asap like in CHINA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, THE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, LIBERIA AND SOUTH PACIFIC PLANTATIONS AND DEAD ASSETS LIKE TESCO, HOTELS ETC. which were bought for the personal interests of the Sime Darby executives at the expense of the stakeholders. A SHEER WASTE OF THE STAKEHOLDERS MONEY !

     THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS IS THE QUALITY OF THEIR TOYS !

     We all will be there with the Greats, Tun ! If a small country like the CZECH REPUBLIC WITH NO RESOURCES CAN BUILD A BEAUTIFUL MOTORCAR so can we Malaysians Tun.

     A MCA leader in the late 1970s called me a ‘MALAY BUM SUCKER’ to cover his corruption which resulted in making S$ 100 Million in 7 years in corrupt politics. He remitted this S$ 100 Million to his girl friend’s account in Hong Kong. My friend did it for him.

     THE REASON WHY I DEVELOPED THE SIME DARBY 1972 CONCEPT WAS FOR THE MALAYS TO GAIN A FAST TREK ENTRY INTO BIG BUSINESS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT AS AT 13 MAY 1969 THE MALAYS HAD ONLY 2% OF THE TOTAL ASSETS OF THE NATION.

     Hence, it is alleged the Chinaman like this MCA ex-leader could grab S$ 100 Million after pretending to be for the Chinese in politics and gave it to his girl friend. And he was further alleged to wallop Sime Darby assets cheaply like Benta and the Nova Scotia estate which became the Bukit Beruntong tropical slum. And this ungrateful fellow called me ‘A MALAY BUM SUCKER’ !

     TUN, WITHOUT SIME DARBY THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY RICH CHINESE TODAY ! This the political and socio-economic reality of our beloved Malaysia.

     Similarly, without a CREDIBLE NATIONAL CAR PROJECT AS PART OF A WIDER AUTOMOTVE INDUSTRY FOR THE MALAYS AND ALL, THERE WILL BE NO PROGRESS FOR THE NON-MALAYS, CHINESE, INDIANS, KADAZANS, IBANS AND ALL.

     Tun you have always been correct on this score, THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY NOT ONLY FOR THE MALAYS BUT THE NON-MALAYS AS WELL. And we all know why the 1st Project failed because of the CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES which stole hundreds of millions of ringgits.

     In manufacturing, not ONE SEN can be taken out of the System. Even the money from selling the wastes must be returned to the System. Conversely, all successful manufacturers are honest and hard-working.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! With your guidance and leadership in the giant AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY TO COME, ALL MALAYSIANS SHOULD THANK YOU JUST FOR THE CONCEPT.

343. Tun

     These are not halcyon days for our beloved Malaysia and the Rakyat after the rapine years of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     These are years when all the good-hearted and sincere peoples of Malaysia will stand strong, united and determined to face the crises which have been created by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government THROUGH NEGLECT 2004 TO 2018. What am I talking about, Tun ?

     Just one crisis only apart from the huge financial conundrum left by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004 to 2018 which created a ripple of minor crises.

     IT IS THE LOOMING FORTHCOMING OF CRASH OF THE PALM OIL PRICE which industry is caught unfortunately by cross-head winds emanating from the EU, CHINA, US and the rest of the World. The build up of these powerful forces are slowly or rapidly coming to a head. Who knows what the future will bring ?

     By going back to the basics of the plantation industry which incurs extremely hard-work under the tropical sun – an industry created by colonialists – a person will understand that the palm oil is not only subjected to the vicissitudes and vagaries of the climate but also that of the market-place. And POLITICAL FORCES COUPLED WITH OTHER UNKNOWNS.

     The plantation industry is not song and dance as the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government knew it. Huge investments and thousands of livelihoods are involved for long periods of time, in term of years.

     Oil palm investment is one of the SLOWEST IN THE WORLD. Hence, every sen is saved for the rainy day when the price of palm oil collapses below its COST.

     And for every ringgit, a prudent planter would have to save 30 sens at least for replanting because the oil palm has a useful productive life of only 25 years.

     And the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government did not think and committed total neglect by FAILING IN THEIR LEADERSHIP OF THE SMALL-HOLDERS IN OUR NATION. How ?

     When the FELDA entity was listed, there was RM 6 Billion cash. Now it has RM 1.89 Billion cash and RM 6 Billion debt. In other words, RM 12 Billion approximately disappeared into thin air through utter CORRUPTION, BUYING EXPENSIVE AND SELLING LOW WITHOUT AN IOTA OF CARE AND CONSIDERATION FOR THE SMALL-HOLDERS.

     It is a great shame.

     From its inception arising from the ideas of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Raxak, the FELDA was established by his trusted and capable friend Tan Sri Taib Andak until it was taken over by another reliable and capable Tengku Tan Sri R.M. Alias.

     After your retirement Tun, it was alleged the oil palm sludge was stolen from the GLC oil mills free of charge as organised from the top.

     From 2004 to 2018, it was one great RAPE of the valuable assets as corporatized and owned by the shareholders who were given a few thousand ringgits.

     THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CHEATING AND SETTING UP OF THE SMALL-HOLDERS WITH THIS CORPORATE SCHEME SHOULD BE CHARGED IN COURT.

     From the early 1960s to the listing of FELDA in 2014 or thereabouts, over 50 years, under the Management of Tan Sri Taib Andak and Tengku Tan Sri R.M. Alias, THERE WAS NOT IOTA OF MISMANAGEMENT OF THE FELDA ESTATES AS OWNED BY THE SMALL-HOLDERS ! In less than 50 months, ALL FELDA’S MONEY OF BILLIONS OF RINGGITS WERE GONE !

     At this juncture, ALL THE MONEY IS GONE ! BILLIONS OF RINGGITS DISAPPEARED FROM FELDA’S COFFERS ! At a time of a huge looming crisis in the price of palm oil caught in all sorts of negative cross-winds beyond its control due to the wanton neglect of a Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government. These leaders have never heard of ‘PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE, TUN ! Fun and games all over the place occupied their mental space. As we Malaysians say. ‘Where got time ?’

     With all due respect, Tun, this is a tough ( a favourite word of an old friend of mine ) job carved out for your New Young and Incorruptible Government. Hopefully this crisis will not happen.

     But FELDA with no MONEY, how ? However, I am confident your brilliance and courage with DSAI and the Team by your side, this looming crisis of the oil palm industry will be averted. The first inkling of this crisis will be the drop in income for the small-holders which will affect their daily livelihood like food and daily expenses – the First Bail- out. Then, the money for the daily expenditures required by the estates.- the Second Bail-out. Finally the Third Bail-out will be the money needed for replanting the old palms.

     Operating a plantation is not like pressing a button but the crafting of a whole host of factors to make an estate work.

     FELDA with no money is certain to require a BAIL-OUT OF UNKNOWN QUANTITY DUE TO THE FACT SO MANY SMALL-HOLDERS LIVELIHOODS ARE NOW AT RISK.

     FORE-WARN IS FORE-ARM TUN !

     Those public listed companies like SIME DARBY with property developments especially overseas like Singapore will be hit badly because in the management of a plantation every sen counts and cannot be taken OUT OF THE PLANTATION SYSTEM so that there is a cash reserve for the rainy day. Hopefully I am wrong in this from every aspect.

     Man proposes. God disposes !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Fore-warn is fore-arm. The small-holders is a very important group in our Society as we are all aware.

344. Tun

     After TWO GENERATIONS, finally Sime Darby came up with the right answer which was the intention of my 1972 Concept which could only be delivered with the understanding and support of our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah and others.

     Yesterday was a joyous moment for me and my heart cried with joy at the news that Sime Darby after TWO GENERATIONS OF ABUSE has finally come to its senses and adopt its intended role in all its finality.

     What more can I say that the news made my day and my life-long intent of delivering something good for all the Rakyat of our beloved Malaysia. I say this from my heart. No problem.

     As I will reveal the facts that those who had a bite of the Sime Darby cherry during these TWO GENERATIONS did not know whether they were coming and going but only cared for the temporal material comfort provided by Sime Darby during their temporary tenure.

     The good thing is Sime Darby after being abused by the Executives for TWO GENERATIONS outlasted them all.

     Now with your support and guidance SIME DARBY SHOULD PLAY ITS INTENDED AND IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE SERVICE OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT by doing things which provide jobs, proper investments in areas which are beyond the reach of the normal Malaysian investor like light engineering industry of manufacturing motor-cars and so on through M and A of British or European companies which may be in disarray soon. I will now relate in a chronological order actual events which took place involving Sime Darby during this period.

     Sime Darby was in the control by the Malaysians in November 1975 arising from my 1972 Concept with the help of 2 Singaporean banks and the unofficial blessing of the Boss. The cost to Pernas Securities was Rm 23 Million. A bribe today as mentioned was RM 187 Million.

     The Management was British – Bywater (an ex-lingerie executive of Kayser Bondor) was the Chief Executive who replaced Dennis Pinder when he was arrested by the Singapore Police for CBT involving giving jewellery to his secretary. Dr Bright was his aide who got into trouble later at the London Transport of which he was the Chairman. He bought an Aston Martin for his personal use !

     At the last EGM in November 1975, the ex-Minister of Finance made a scene to the embarrassment of all present by loudly accusing the Malaysians of being ‘ultras’ because he was left out of out the sensitive negotiations concerning the take-over.

     Not only that the Malaysians were generally sore with his performance on 13 May 1969 at 2.30 pm when he pulled MCA out of the Alliance in a pique. The tragic riots followed at 5 p.m. By 10 p.m. the MCA was back in the Alliance. It was far too late. He was the most pro-British Chinese and it would have been imprudent for any information to be leaked out to the British.

     In 1975, the Board of Sime Darby PLC consisted of 2 pro-British Chinese, 2 British expats, Tan Sri Taib Andak and myself appointed on the recommendation of Tun Abdul Razak.

     After the EGM which was aborted, the ex-Minister of Finance met the Prime Minister Tun Hussein Onn and was appointed the Chairman of Sime Darby until his demise in 1988 or thereabouts.

     At this juncture, the major assets of Sime Darby as put together by Dennis Pinder were :- 1) Amoy Canning Hong Kong property. 2) Shaw Wallace with its Indian liquor monopoly 3) Orchard Towers, Singapore 4) 200,000 acres of plantation equal to Singapore at low tide.

     Soon after, the expats proposed that the Orchard Towers be sold back to the contractor at S$ 22 Million because of cracks in the walls which might cause the collapse of the Towers. The Towers are still there after 50 years ! Tan Sri Taib and myself did not openly voiced dissent.

     Subsequently, the valuable Amoy Canning property which was earmarked to be the MRT Terminus of Hong Kong was proposed by the expats to be auctioned off. The Directors were invited to Hong Kong. Both Tan Sri Taib and myself did not take up the offer. No private person auctions of his property in Hong Kong. Only the Government do so. The auction failed because there was no bid. It is well-known that a clique of about 9 property developers formed a ring to control the property auctions of Hong Kong. The valuable property was eventually developed in conjunction with Hang Lung Development which was one of the clique.

     By the early 1980s, the valuable Shaw Wallace with its liquor monopoly of India and its lush Assam Frontier Tea Estates was sold for a song at about RM 150 Million to an Indian in the Gulf who became a billionaire from this. His flamboyant son became the owner of the Kingfisher Airline and is embroiled with the Indian Government at present which wants to extradite him from London !

     In 1982, I suggested that Sime Darby grabbed all the palm oil bunkering facilities in China. Nothing happened but Sime Darby established a small one in Port Said, Egypt. 10 years later, all the bunkering facilities were owned by IOI, KLK or the Kuok Group ! In 2010 Sime Darby invested RM 2 Billion in a port facility in Eastern China. Now these facilities are for sale.

     From 1981 to 1992, nothing new by way of business was committed by Sime Darby. I was aware of some non-Malays were nibbling at the Sime Darby cherry. One MCA leader told the World that I helped him to acquire Benta. The fact was the ex-MCA Chairman did it.

     By 1992, I was asked to resign by the Executives who were occupying the cushy jobs created by my 1972 Concept. MY TOTAL EMOLUMENTS FROM 1974 TO 1992, 14 years WERE RM 500,000 BEFORE TAX. Nowadays, junior executives take the same in one year with datuk-ships to boot.

     I was sacked by the Executives because I asked why the valuable Nova Scotia property north of Rawang was sold to this MCA leader for only RM 4 Million which was then housed in a public listed company and shuffled up to RM 88 Million purchased by Chan Ah Chye and Perangsaan Selangor and turned into a tropical slum ?

     The reply from the Executives was that since RM 4 Million was less than 2% of the total assets of Consolidated Plantations, there was no necessity to report to the Board. Like this, the Executives could have sold all the assets without the Board knowledge ! Corruption in Sime Darby by Malaysian Executives first appeared here. I was aware that some non-Malays were nibbling at the Sime Darby palm oil cherry from the 1980s !

     And when I strongly objected to the purchase of a pondan oil palm estate in Sabah at RM 32 Million by Sime Darby which no one wanted for RM 20 Million for 20 years, the Executives were forced to get rid of me because they assumed that the late Tun Tan Siew Sin appointed me as a Director as they pretended not to know our late Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak was responsible. Vide. Far Eastern Economic Review. November 1975.

     After getting rid of me, the Sime Darby Executives went on a buying spree purchasing useless assets like Jiffy condoms, LAC Refrigerators, Sandestin Resort in Florida to train Malaysians in hospitality management ( MARA was doing this since 1966 ) and golf. This was bought at the pre-Crash 1997 price of RM 72 Million and sold after the Crash at RM 72 Million. Wonder of wonders, the Excutives reported that no loss was incurred ! And all these fellows were supposed to be qualified accountants ! This was the time of the FIRST BANKRUPTCY OF SIME DARBY in 1996 and after Tun’s retirement in 1973, IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SIME DARBY WENT BANKRUPT AGAIN.

     Indeed, this happened in 2010. I knew it was going to happen because just before the event, Sime Darby wanted to buy my friend’s orchid farm near Rawang for RM 10 Million ! How crazy Sime Darby had become ! And after the 2nd Bankruptcy Sime Darby invested RM 2 Billion in China !

     Not many people are aware that Sime Darby has a Foundation which should not be established at all. NO PRIVATE PHILANTHROPIST owns Sime Darby. Therefore, all money belongs to the stakeholders NOT THE EXECUTIVES and should be reserved for investment and the plantations which are the slowest business in the World for re-planting and reduce the borrowings in preparation for the rainy day.

     The Sime Darby Foundation does not serve any useful purpose but just a hang-out for those who served the POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT. The Foundation should be dissolved as soon as possible.

     SIME DARBY SHOULD NOW FOCUS, FOCUS AND FOCUS ON THE MOTORCAR PROJECT AND THE WORLD OF THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. CHINA, AUSTRALIAN, NEW ZEALNAD ASSETS, MALAYSIAN PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT, LIBERIA ESTATES, SOUTH PACIFIC PLANTATIONS SHOULD ALL BE SOLD.

     At its peak, Sime Darby had FAKE OFFICES IN VANCOUVER, NEW YORK AND LONDON TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION THAT IT’S A WORLD-WIDE CORPORATION COUPLED BY EXPENSIVE ADVERTISEMENTS. The fact is Sime Darby NEVER did any real husiness apart from competing with the local folks. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED !

     Tun, Man proposes. God disposes. AFTER TWO GENERATIONS. it is good, very good, you are still around to make Sime Darby the real Flagship of Malaysian Business endeavour in light engineering, motor cars an important component to push us Malaysians to the next tier of development.

     Or else we are forever forced to talk about condoms, palm oil and petroleum which DO NOT PROVIDE THE RIGHT TYPE OF JOBS FOR THE RAKYAT AND DO NOT ASSIST THE RAKYAT TO RAISE THEIR STANDARD OF LIVING AND EARNINGS !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Sime Darby boleh ! Better late than never.

345. Tun

     An exceptional headline appeared in The Star this morning thus :

     ” TIME TO TEACH GOOD VALUES “.

     Kudos to the Minister of Education for this important subject which will taught in all our schools under ‘CIVICS’. An important subject which had been forgotten by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and also by the hurly-burly of urban life.

     I have noted that the young Chinese these days are brash and pushy unlike their parents. Maybe these people are from outstation and with their new relationships anything goes. The young Malays and Indians still have a modicum of manners and courtesy which exhibit their existing familial relationships at home.

     The Chinese artisans began to lose their professionalism beginning in the early 1980s which probably reflected the attempts by the MCA and its leadership to politicise the early attempts by the Malays to find a business base. They used Sime Darby as their rallying cry ! This MCA political move was actually a cover-up for its big-wigs to do big businesses, some of which failed, but a very few succeeded.

     But the whole spectrum of honesty and integrity in the work-place was left to the parents to do the needful.

     With the retirement of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad after 2003, whole phalanxes of the BN Government were seen to live in a World of their own by the Rakyat, the Malays, Chinese, Indians and all. The Rakyat was always given the impression there would be a tomorrow.

     When wanton theft and cheating of the Government’s own financial resources were exposed during the last 5 years, the discontent and unhappiness of the Rakyat grew in intensity at the collapse of Leadership and integrity of the Federal Government which translated into nothing for the Rakyat. Un-imaginable amounts of ringgits were flowing the wrong way.

     Events happened in the Government Establishment and affected the Rakyat which became demoralised.

     Presto ! Now the whole Nation looks forward to a New Era of Normality of everything. And to begin with, the Ministry of Education has become the right choice to show our young what is black or white, what is right or wrong, what is loyalty or disloyalty etc. This is where YB comment is so important to those who make Malaysia great in the future.

     In the case of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, one rotten egg spoilt the rest. The whole Government Establishment collapsed into dust on 9 May 2018.

     Let us learn from the mistakes and weaknesses of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government. Of its arrogance, uncaring attitude, materialism counted, lip-service to beliefs and virtues and the list goes on. The natural good instinct of Humankind turned the tide of the bad into the good as it is now proven.

     Our YB being a keen, honest and compassionate person has rebounded adroitly from his recent faux pas which were reported in the media as follows :-

     1. To reduce the entrance standards of universities so that the rural students could enter them. But the British uplifted the standards of the rural students by placing them in hostels in towns where the good schools were. They did not lower the standards of anyone. Besides, if this was done, the academics and the undergraduates would feel violated. The rural students attain an inferiority complex.

     2. The uniforms and shoes conundrum

     3. To appoint oneself to a lesser job is like a King appointing himself to be the court jester.

     4. The appointment of a top money man from the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government must have raised many eyebrows of the cognoscenti who are aware of one of the earliest mega-deals, KIM ENG SECURITIES SINGAPORE-MAYBANK. The former was owned by the second wife of the younger brother of the late Prime Minister of Singapore.

     However, our YB is dynamic, honest, quick at learning and understanding and compassionate. He has or will rectify what is not correct. No problem.

     Finally, it pays for the YB to spend a week in Japan, India (New Delhi & Dehra Dun), Singapore and Switzerland over a year or two to study their educational curriculum and system on the spot and SELECT WHAT IS BEST FOR MALAYSIAN SCHOOLS. This saves a lot of time and headaches.

     AND DO NOT BE MISLED BY SINGAPORE’S SPIEL ON THEIR MATHEMATICS. Too much of it is as actually USELESS FOR US. And besides we are a huge country compared with them. Let those with the talent for mathematics find their own level ! Different strokes for different folks as it is said.

     I have every confidence in the administrative and leadership ability of YB.

     As the saying goes, ” TO ERR IS HUMAN, TO FORGIVE IS DIVINE.”

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Your Government Team gives us HOPE in more ways than one to make our beloved Malaysia GREAT !!

346. Tun

     Another happy morning for me as I ferried my grand-daughter to her SMK party heralding the end of the school term. She is indeed very satisfied with this school and the students. No problem. No qualms.

     My eyes nearly popped out when I saw the headline from Sime Darby and one or two exceptional ones as well thus :-

     1, NSTP. ‘ SIME DARBY KEEN ON 3RD CAR PROJECT.’

     This is the best news of all from the Malaysian Business World.

     Let us not forget it took Sime Darby TWO GENERATIONS to do the right thing after it was turned into a fine British type of trading company with no risk by its Malaysian Managements since 1982 to 2010.

     My Life long wish and concept of 1972 becoming TRUE !

     This Malaysian Management did not want to let go after 2 GIGANTIC BANKRUPTCIES and the loss of billions of ringgits to the crooks who used Sime Darby as an ATM. At the final Bankruptcy of Sime Darby in 2010, the Board was stacked up with 10 Tan Sris. Believe it or not. No doubt the directors fees were gargantuan.

     It is time for Sime Darby to SELL OFF ALL THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ASSETS AND THOSE LAST MINUTE CHINESE PORTS (2010) AS WELL.

     I told them to grab all the palm oil bunkering ports in China in 1982, those lazy minded fellows invested apparently in a small facility in Port Said, Egypt. They looked West instead of East. 10 Years later KLK, IOI and the Kuok Group grabbed all !

     However, Tun, it is still not too late for Sime Darby to SELL OFF ALL ITS AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND ASSETS.

     Sime Darby sponsored New Zealand’s Ocean Racing for 9 years in a country which is still the most bigoted in the World which judges could not distinguish one Chinaman from another. Sime Darby did all these things either because of the Melbourne Gold Cup, 19th Hole Golf or to keep an ex-finance director in NZ happy. The shareholders have never been happy until TODAY, Tun !

     Yes, Tun ! Sime Darby is the proper investor for the Third National Car Project.

     In fact Sime Darby should have been with the First. But from 1982 to 2018, Sime Darby was turned into a colourless, ineffective and non-contributor to the National Interest benefitting only the lackadaisical Management who were more interested in sporting events than business. THAT’S TWO GENERATIONS OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA, TUN !

     My concept of 1972 which some crooked Chinaman called me a ‘Malay bum sucker’ was to give the Malays who had only 2% of the economy a quantum leap into big business. My concept of 1972 worked thanks to the support of the Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and YBM Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Both understood the implication of controlling and acquiring Sime Darby by Malay interests. Hence, we have so many non-Malays and Malay rich bucks today ! No problem Tun !

     But my 1972 Concept was more esoteric than making rich bucks. It was about creating a new light engineering industry and jobs for our beloved Malaysia in the years to come.

     Yes Tun ! With the right thinking and approach in the National Interest and not in the MANAGEMENT’S INTEREST, it is possible to build Sime Darby to be a Fortune 500, a leading light of ASEAN business and of Malaysia. No problem.

     IT IS NOT TOO LATE BECAUSE IN BUSINESS THERE ARE ALWAYS OPPORTUNITIES ! I hope from now onwards you keep a close eye on Sime Darby’s proceedings, Tun. Even today, it is the BEST we have to lead your WAY !

     Those fellows in Sime Darby who now promote the 3RD CAR PROJECT should be ennobled with a Tan Sri ! Light engineering is the WAY Tun as you envisaged a long long time ago which was sabotaged by the crooked closest aides who are all in hiding now with the ill-gotten billions of ringgits and Stradivarius violins ! Even the waste from the Proton factory they walloped !

     Sime Darby should sell off all the sleeping investments like Tesco, etc which give a good return to PNB and turn all dead assets into cash AND WAIT FOR OPPORTUNITIES WHICH ARE COMING HARD AND FAST AGAIN FROM UK AND EU.
     Who knows maybe our new Sovereign friends’ Temasek can help Sime Darby to gobble up the biggest for our mutual or ASEAN benefit ? Who knows, Tun in business ?

     EXCITING TIMES ARE COMING AROUND AGAIN TUN ! We are not late if we are prepared for the opportunities to come.

     LET US NOT FORGET, BY 1974, THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE-OVER SIME DARBY. THE MALAYSIANS WERE STUCK. WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE, I WENT TO SEE THE BRILLIANT LADY LAWYER IN SINGAPORE IN FEBRUARY 1974. SHE TOLD ME SHE KNEW NOTHING WHAT HER HUSBAND DID. I KNEW SHE FOUNDED THAT PARTY WITH HER HUSBAND. I DISCUSSED THE PROS AND THE CONS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SIME DARBY FOR SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA AND ASEAN FOR ONE WHOLE HOUR. Being very intelligent, she understood. I went to see a Singaporean banker too who said it could not be done. HOWEVER AFTER THE FALL OF VIETNAM IN APRIL 1975, IT WAS ALL SYSTEMS GO FOR THE 2 SINGAPOREAN BANKS WHO ASSISTED THE MALAYSIANS TO CONTROL SIME DARBY BY NOVEMBER 1975. This we must not forget !

     Sime Darby cost the Malaysians only RM 23 Million as the Malays had limited money in those early days of NEP. Today, ONE BRIBE IS RM 187 MILLION ! All of us, Malays, Chinese and Indians etc did not think about money money money for our pockets in those innocent days of yore !

     Our beloved Malaysia, Tun after TWO GENERATIONS has got the right investor in the form of the much abused Sime Darby which can now go places IF CAREFULLY MONITORED.

     As you are aware, the motorcar industry in the West is both hit by the Trade Wars and the Brexit.

     THESE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MALAYSIA AND SIME DARBY TOO. With your guidance and attention, our beloved Malaysia can be a MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURING CENTRE FOR ASEAN/ASIA/WORLD WITH JOBS FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS AND ANCILLARY BUSINESSES TOO.

     FOCUS, FOCUS, FOCUS IS THE KEY !

     Sime Darby should now sell off all the useless playthings of the previous Management and build up the cash reserve. AS THE SAYING GOES, ‘ THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN AND BOYS IS THE QUALITY OF THEIR TOYS, Tun !’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! SIME DARBY BOLEH TUN !

347. Tun

     We are now witnessing the agonies of Britain making attempts to withdraw easily and gracefully from the EU everyday for the past one and a half years. Let this be a lesson to all in Malaysia.

     Britain was alleged to have joined the EU due to US pressure in 1972 without thinking of the future, the historical aspects and her own cultural legacy and heritage.

     The little I know about them, I was aghast that Britain took such a gigantic step into the unknown in 1972 and abandoned the Commonwealth. Literally, Britain fought many wars on the European Continent right up to the 20th Century. This was her political and historical European baggage she had to bear and be aware ! Obviously greed for more business was one of the factors in favour of the EU.. Now the birds have come h9me to roost.

     And the Brexit pay-back or pay-off is not only expensive but difficult. Then one may ask why it was so easy to get married to the EU and so difficult to divorce ? One must again ask the question why there was no escape clause to ease the difficulties of a divorce which now happens after 46 years of marriage ?

     Let this Brexit and also the 1962 Water Agreement with Singapore be a good lesson to our Governments of the day, Tun ! This should be a subject of study not only in schools but also in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs ! Easy to sign on the dotted line BUT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO WITHDRAW IN THE FUTURE ! No escape Clause at all !

     Especially, when our Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was embedded by dubious types who were the lead negotiators daring enough to shout in a NST headline after her retirement, ‘ MALAYSIA MUST SIGN THE TPPA.’ We know why as it is alleged that her nearest and dearest is the Chief Correspondent in Kuala Lumpur of the Singapore Business Times. Journalists are the front-lines of information the World over. Myanmar, Egypt, Hong Kong, Singapore, China and Russia do not like them.

     Or is there such a phrase, ‘ A stitch in time saves nine.’

     Malaysia Boleh as always Tun ! Let the 1962 Water Agreement and the agonies of Britain over the Brexit be a good lesson for our beloved Malaysia to learn and to avoid. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts, Tun !

348. Yun

     How many Malaysians know that the Malays are just as capable and good as other peoples ?

     The events leading up to 9 May 2018 and thereafter proved that this is so. They do not have to learn anything from anybody.

     All the ingredients of the make-up of a Normal and Good people, the Malays were/are there, otherwise we and our beloved Malaysia would not have come so far and achieved great things since 1957.

     As you are aware, Tun, we must not have short memories. This is why holistic history of our beloved Malaysia will play an important part in the development and shaping Malaysia to be one of the Greats which I have mentioned before many a-time.

     The ravages of Colonialism, the immaturity of our political development and poor or absent political leadership by UMNO during 2004 to 2018 finally broke the bonds of suppression imposed on the Rakyat by using all sorts of devices to cover-up the Great Rape of our beloved Malaysia. We are now free. Thanks to your brilliance and courage leading up to 9 May 2018 and beyond. This is now INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED !

     How many Malaysians are aware that back to centuries ago if the Sultans were recalcitrant, would there be a Malaysia like this today ?

     We must take our hats off to them for willing to accept the newcomers who could contribute in kind for mutual benefit. That was long long ago. Centuries ago.

     Fast trek to the 20th Century of recent memory. The Malays actually had full POWER in their hands via the Constitution.

     Despite their handicaps, like on 13 May 1869, their share of the Malaysian economy was only 2% after 12 years of Merdeka. Yet, the Great Malay Statesman Tun Abdul Razak and his team could fashion the NEP to create a level playing field for all. The Malays were not found wanting as regards their political capability here.

     With Tun Abdul Razak’s untimely demise, Tun Hussein Onn, a Great Prime Minister who respected the Laws to the fullest, played an important role too by giving time and space for the NEP to take root. And of course, the future ATM for crooks, Sime Darby came into hand to provide the Malays their first big business conglomerate – a major piece of jigsaw puzzle which fitted in at the right moment !

     The go-go years of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad CREATED THE MALAY MIDDLE-INCOME GROUP FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME which now numbers at least 9 million souls who clap hands with the non-Malays, the providers of goods and services. The combined Middle Income Groups of Malays, Chinese, Indians and others maybe as many as 17 millions. This is the natural ballast of Malaysia – the key stabilizing factor of a Nation. And the Malays are right there in majority leading the way.

     But with bad leadership, the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government wiped out its own elites until only one aged 40 from Christ’s ( College ) is left when there should be by right and progress, echelons of Malay elites. All these capable fellows were there all stacked up to a man but due to poor Leadership, the whole edifice crumbled into dust.

     JUST ONE BAD EGG CAN SPOIL THE REST, TUN !

     And this has nothing to do with one’s capability or not. It is just common garden GREED AND ABSENT LEADERSHIP which good leadership went out of the window during 2004 to 2018. Imagine, Tun, a Corrupted and Uncaring Government Establishment without LEADERSHIP ! These facts are proven every day by the events in the Courts.

     YES ! I am of the opinion that the Malays do not need to learn from anyone from the proven historical records but just a NORMAL LEADER AND A NORMAL LIFE-STYLE, THE MALAYS WILL GO PLACES. It is the good governance and GOOD EDUCATION which is important in our Malaysian society because without Malay elites, the non-Malays cannot move and progress as embodied in our Constitution. All will suffer like what happened recently, 2004-2018. With no Leadership, the Rakyat’s money flowed the wrong way into the wrong pockets.

     Hence, a good Malay Leader like our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is immediately RECOGNISED BY THE WORLD AT LARGE as a Leader and not someone whom they pay lip-service to and pretend to play golf with or huddle in very private retreats.

     THE MALAYS HAVE NOTHING TO LEARN FROM ANYONE TUN.

     What we all Malaysians need is a constant availability of Malay Leaders and elites who can serve Normally like anyone else and NOT TAKEN OVER BY GREED AND POWER because in our country, the Role Model begins at the top of the Power Pyramid, the apex !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! The Malays are already there. No need to learn from anyone but to learn from the World at large for progress and development like anyone else. We will all be there, Tun.

349. Tun

     Welcome home to our beautiful and peaceful beloved Malaysia, the one and only in this World of ours which we all only pass through once in a Lifetime !

     You and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah did not come back as conquering heroes of the Republic of Singapore but as one of its Finest. This is the nub and the rub.

     The recognition of the good works of both from a long journey of nearly 100 years. We stand proud, strong and united with you.

     Tun, we Malaysians stand to benefit the most from your true sacrifice and devotion without a peer because of your Second Coming which through your brilliance and courage has put our beloved Malaysia onto the World’s pedestal as one of the 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     This pedestal should launch our beloved Malaysia upwards towards the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India, and Good Governance Japan. These are well-established top-class States which were developed by its own citizens over time in the face of all sorts of vicissitudes both natural and unnatural. What better examples for another Nation to emulate than these 3 exemplary Nation ?

     How many of us Malaysians including your good-self Tun realise that with your superb leadership and the Will and Spirit of our beloved Malaysia in your hands has the POWER to put us onto the 2nd step of 1,000 lei journey to SUCCESS ?

     I am not talking about the mundane and normal duties of a Prime Minister who is now burdened with the task of cleaning out the Augean Stables leftover by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which corrupted the whole Government Establishment – worst than the Rape of the Sabine Women of ancient Rome but the POWER to set our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat right, step by step, slowly but surely towards the WAYS and MEANS of the Greats like Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     For starters, Switzerland took 800 years from day one of her Confederaton to be where she is today. Democratic India 5,000 years and Japan 3,000 ! So, Tun, with your guidance of our momentous March towards and upwards to be like the Greats, we have plenty of time !

     After grappling with the New Young and Incorruptible Government to establish a NORMAL stance as regards its duties and responsibilities and getting rid of all the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government rubbish, sorry to say, you have the very important and unenviable task to accomplish which is to set our beloved Malaysia on the correct journey to achieve something like these 3 Greats but with our unique Malaysian bent – to be established as UNITED SOCIETIIES within the framework of Sovereignty and National Interest.

     I believe the first step should be a proper curriculum which is not LOP-SIDED in the interest of all concerned. Like how many Malaysians know that as at May 13 1969, the British owned 70% of the best assets of Malaysia, the Chinese 25%, the majority was just earning a living and the Malays 2% ?

     Whatever the action, each move should be slow and steady without upsetting the sensitivities and emotions of other fellow citizens. This must be a precept which should be engraved in stone by you, Tun !

     With a proper normal functioning New Young and Incorruptible Government and our DSAI by your side, the future of our beloved Malaysia which in time, 50 years ? 100 years ? 1000 years or more ? like Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan will hold sway firmly along the narrow line of no return but only forwards to success and happiness. THE CREATION OF ASIA’S VERY OWN EQUIVALENT OF SWITZERLAND WHICH IS OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA through your LEADERSHIP with the Rakyat’s full support !

     This POWER to do everlasting good is now in your hands, Tun – to shape the DESTINY of a Nation to be Great and to do Good Things for the World.

     THIS IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE INTELLECTUAL CAPABILITY OF A HUMAN MIND, TUN !

     Away with the decadence and corrupt practices like collecting 10,000 Rolex and hiding them under a bed ! We are good and normal Malaysians, MALAYS, CHINESE, INDIANS, KADAZANS, IBANS AND ALL. We have the People, the Natural Resources and the Space to help ourselves by doing good things which will give us a chance to help others. WHAT IS BETTER THAN THIS TUN ? And History is the Finest Arbiter of the Truth, Tun !

     It was the politicising of everything in our beloved Malaysia in recent years which put a brake on the development of our human and natural resources, 2004 to 2018.

     This was the price to pay, Tun before the Rakyat saw the light of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and coupled with your brilliance and courage, Tun – Presto ! We the Rakyat found ourselves after 9 May 2018 as ONE OF THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     NO MORE CROOKED CLOSEST AIDES WHO COLLECT BANKS AND STRADIVARIUS VIOLINS, NO MORE KINGS WHO APPOINT THEMSELVES AS COURT JESTERS. NO MORE APPOINTING HIGH RANKING MINISTERS OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT TO REPRESENT THE NEW YOUNG INCORRUPTIBLE PH GOVERNMENT TO SMEAR ITS OWN FACE !

     Normal practices in Normal Administration of Normal Government Policies which are Fair and Just to rule over the Rakyat will create an everlasting Nation with an eternal Life. During 2004 to 2018, I thought our beloved Malaysia ‘dieded’ as we Malaysians say ! When we were ruled by fellow who did not know whether they were coming or going !

     THIS FASHIONING OF A NATION NOW LYING HAPLESS BECAUSE OF THE RAPINE YEARS (2004 to 2018) OF A CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT IS NOW IN YOUR CAPABLE HANDS TUN with the good assistance of DSAI and all others concerned !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! We now have great hopes for the Golden Future of our beloved Malaysia to come ! Man proposes. God disposes.

350. Tun

     It was good to see you have an excellent relationship with President Putin of Russia. For our beloved Malaysia to have a good relationship with all underlines our Foreign Policy of being friends with all, but enemy to none. Good things will appear in time and in unexpected events to come.

     I like the headline in The Star this morning, thus :-

     ‘ THE LHDN WILL COME AFTER YOU.’ This is good for all the hard-working and honest Rakyat but sends a shiver down the spines of the crooks.
     Here are 2 huge significant cases which the LHDN might have overlooked.

     1. A Chinese promoter organised a syndicate to rig the shares of Chinese owned small listed companies for over 10 years from around 2000. His modus operandi is to collude with the Chinese substantial owners with the spiel that he could get back their returns in months instead of in years or never, if they would collude with his syndicate.

     He specialised in companies with 5 sen par share so that by rigging it up to 15 sen or 20 sen, he could profit by over 100% soon after the listing of the new shares. He succeeded in this share-rigging scam as a professional who profited without TAX SERIALLY from 2000 onwards to 2018. This was his INCOME TAXABLE profession by doing it serially for over 8 times with at least 8 listed companies and their substantial share-owners.

     From 2000 to 2018, he and his colluders accrued in UNTAXED PROFITS from this serial share rigging scam which broke all the Laws, OF MORE THAN RM 1 BILLIONS ! The LHDN is aware of this SERIAL SHARE-RIGGING SCAM SINCE 2016 !

     2. However, the cheating by an organised syndicate to collect PALM OIL SLUDGE FROM FELDA, LTAT, SIME DARBY, GLC PLANTATIONS IS EVEN BIGGER WHICH BEGAN AFTER TUN’S RETIREMENT IN 2003.

     It was organised from the top.

     The palm oil sludge is collected daily from the oil palm mills owned by the aforementioned companies with the public and the Government as the stakeholders. Millions of ringgits of palm oil sludge are collected each day by the collectors from 2004 to 2018. This is alleged in the oil palm industry as common knowledge. The cash is paid by the collectors to an outside source.

     Thus billions of ringgits in cash has not been TAXED because the Syndicate was organised from the top.

     This black cash should be white cash belonging to the ultimate stakeholders, the public and the Government. Yet, this huge CASH HOARD is siphoned off every day since 2004 to 2018.

     A HUGE SOURCE OF INCOME DERIVED FROM THE PALM OIL SLUDGE STOLEN BY THE ORGANISED SYNDICATE, WHICH RIGHTFULLY BELONGS TO THE PUBLIC AND THE GOVERNMENT. Billions of ringgits in cash are sloshing somewhere sometime. ANOTHER UNTAXED INCOME FOR THE LHDN !

     For starters, these two CHEATING CASES OF THEFT OF THE RAKYAT’S WEALTH IN BROAD DAYLIGHT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY NOT ONLY THE LHDN BUT ALSO BY THE SECURITIES COMMISSION, THE MACC, THE BURSA AND THE PDRM. The Rakyat is fed-up with all these thefts openly conducted in broad daylight without fear by the crooks concerned.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Malaysia must retrieve all the billions of ringgits stolen from the Rakyat by these crooks, OPENLY !

351. Tun,

     It was a good beginning when you urged the young to be creative, innovative and have a vision. And you urged the talented Malaysians who are at present abroad to return to Malaysia as there is a New Era for them. And in the same line of thought, these talented Malaysian have established their roots overseas with families and all.

     Talented Malaysians in the 1960s returned to Malaysian, the whole lot of them. They were in most professions like surgery, paediatrics, at the Institute of Medical Research (IMR) and so on.

     After the May 13 1969 riots, these highly qualified professionals returned to their alma maters.

     The second wave of emigrants came in the early 1980s when it was alleged that Government Policies will not be to their liking. The people in this group were not as qualified as the first.

     I know of one complete family of many related families left for Melbourne, Australia.

     But by the early 1990s, when stories of the many millionaires and their riches reached the shores of distant lands, there were regrets expressed.

     But in the 21st Century, many families were making plans to emigrate whenever possible which gave rise to all sorts of malfeasances to make a pile and abscond. Like our little fat boy ! His intentions are very clear from the beginning. By 2017-18, applicants for overseas became a flood.

     On the other side of the coin, I know of two Malaysian Chinese doctors who spent lifetimes practising in Vancouver and Hong Kong. Both returned. One to Pulau Pinang and the other to TTDI, Kuala Lumpur. The latter was the ex-husband of the founder of Kim Eng Securities Singapore !

     Then finally, we have the story of the brilliant Muslim Indian graduate from the London School of Economics who joined one of the BN Government’s hi-tech units. He worked out the next year’s Budget would be around RM 5 Million but his Boss told him to increase it up to RM 10 Million. He was very upset and consulted his father who advised him to do as he was told. Thereafter, he returned to London.

     And I keep hearing stories of peer pressure on the newly returned professionals who were up to the mark soon after their return. But due to peer pressure they descended down to the same level of workmanship as the peers.

     Your call for our talented Malaysians to return is apt and timely. But will these professionals return ?

     I believe this has to do a lot with politics and Malaysia’s security. And if the years to come if Malaysia is really on the trek up towards the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan, who will not return from places in the West which are now full of uncertainty and violence ?

     Hence, my constant call to fix our future objectives on those icons previously mentioned.

     The fact is our beloved Malaysia has already have in place good schools, hospitals, colleges, and so on. It is the security, the social amenities and politics which need to be improved to comparable World standards. Security could be difficult because we have in our midst all sorts of people from un-familiar places. But whatever it is, I am confident the New Young and Incorruptible Government will the handle the situation normally in its stride, given time. And time is of the essence !

     Malaysia Boleh as always ! Malaysia Boleh are the Golden words pointing towards our future, Tun ! With the Will, the Hard-work and the Confidence, we will all be there amongst the Greats.

352. Tun

     My very best congratulations to you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah for being bestowed the distinguished awards by your finest Alma Mater, Asia’s No 1, the National University of Singapore today.

     A unique honour for a distinguished family couple who achieved much in a journey of nearly 100 years. A Malaysian Malay couple too.

     This occasion must surely be the first in the World. Your well wishers must have been filled with emotions by recalling the momentous events which made up your successful historical past despite in recent times when naysayers thought they had the field to themselves by pouring tons of vitriol on you.

     Your recent brilliant and courageous stance put all these NAYSAYERS TO BE YEASAYERS ! Who can beat this achievement alone, Tun ? Who else but our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ?

     We first met in your house on a hill in Petaling Jaya at a Hari Raya Open House. Both of you came up to me and asked, ‘ Who are you ?’ There was a Chinese Civil Servant by your side. I first met Tun Dr Siti Hasmah in the bedroom of Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali the Sunday morning after he fell ill at a function held by the Administrative Training Centre. I was in attendance. Thereafter, I came every year for the Hari Raya Open House held at your residence on the hill at Kenny Hill or Bukit Tunku until you became the Prime Minister. From then on, the well-wishers came in their thousands.

     And it was not too long ago, when naysayers poured tons of vitriol on you, and lo and behold ! Your brilliance and courage turned these NAY-SAYERS INTO YEA-SAYERS ! I suppose one has to study medicine at Asia’s No 1 the National University of Singapore to achieve this ! Be a brilliant and courageous doctor and successful politician to boot.

     But today, a Minister in the New Young and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great, struck a few notes in the headlines probably he was infected with the new POWER which was temporarily bestowed on him, thus :-

     1. To reduce the entrance standards of the universities so that the rural students may enter them. Apparently, he was not aware that the British set up hostels in towns for the Malay students who lived in the outlying areas to up-grade their skills and knowledge. Most of them became very successful. This Policy was continued by the BN Government in the years to come. By reducing the entrance requirements, the universities’ standards are lowered, the incumbent academics and undergraduates feel violated and the rural students get an inferiority complex ! A political solution is not the answer to an academic problem

     2. The uniforms and shoes conundrum !

     3. The appointment of oneself, the Minister to be the Chancellor of IIU is like the King appointing himself to be the jester !

     4. The Minister probably were not aware that Life has many parts. He appointed a high ranking Minister of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which was turfed out in disgrace, as the Chancellor of another university. HE HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT HEARD OF KIM ENG SECURITIES SINGAPRE AND MAYBANK !

     All these demerits happened within 6 months concerning a good, honest and sincere person who is a Minister of Education on matters which did not concern EDUCATION !

     As I said many times before, BEWARE, Ministers of the seductions, the flatteries and the what-have-you, weakness of the flesh and the soft under belly because you all live in a different World of Power. Seductress and flatterers will come by the thousands. Vide. Solar panels. How to maintain a proper stance ? Think and work normally, serve the people and your family. You will be alright. Don’t abuse Power and ever think of Money, Money, Money. We all will be there with the Greats Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India, Good Governance Japan.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Honest mistakes are revealed OPENLY. Only crooks hide their crooked acts !

353. Tun

     Congratulations in advance on your forthcoming distinguished honorary Award by the National University of Singapore which Ranks No 1 in Asia on Tuesday 13 November 2018.

     Finally, the Republic of Singapore recognises the only Malaysian who deserves this Award the most.

     For decades, I observed lesser souls from the Malaysian Civil Service were promptly awarded LLDs on their retirement. And yet young souls, the young UMNO aspirants were invited to speak at the ISEAS Forum following which a glowing report on their brilliant achievements would be published on the following morning in the Straits Times. Vide Straits Times Library for the record of who and who. No doubt these were the brain-washed digits embedded in Kuala Lumpur. But Man proposes. God disposes.

     This is an auspicious time in the 21st Century for both countries to leave the baggage of the 20th Century behind. For starters, Malaysia and her Governments did no harm to anyone. If at all, there were many times because of our hospitality, friendliness and courtesy were taken time and time again to the cleaners by those who were cunning but not smart. They got their sums wrong ! We survived. Man proposes. God disposes.

     The problem with Singapore is that after the highest profile was ever created by Man, nothing happened in the 21st Century thereafter. The white rabbits ran out of stock from the proverbial hat !

     However, in this World Community of Humankind, normality will return as the Norm in time and in place. In other words, after a flight of fancy by Singapore, Malaysia and Singapore are on the same plane again and talk normally again without any hint of special relationship but only based on Sovereignty and National Interest. This is what it should be.

     I an extremely hopeful of the forthcoming relationship between Malaysia and Singapore.

     The ingredients for a mutual socio-economic benefit for both are in the cards. And in reality, both countries are geographically part of one another.

     This nexus is the centre of an important and dynamic Region of the World, ASEAN. It is good the cudgels of leadership be taken up immediately without delay because if we look around the World, Malaysia and Singapore fits like a T if Singapore views all with equal Sovereignty and National Interest.

     And a people’s hospitality, friendliness and courtesy should not be taken as stupidity and meekness.

     And because of the brilliance and courage of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia, at the end of the day, is one of four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. Malaysia stands astride 1,200 miles from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea at a strategic geo-political location which is one of the most important in the World.

     Not only that Malaysia is a land of 3 main ancient civilizations and others, a stable democratic Government and bountiful of natural resources.

     AND OUR FOREIGN POLICY IS FRIEND TO ALL, ENEMY TO NONE ! We are the Asian Switzerland in the making. Thanks to the Leadership of our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his New Young and Incorruptible Government of the Old and the Young, the Good and the Great. We all will be there.

     My congratulations to the Republic of Singapore as well in finally recognising the true worth of a person who spent a Life time in serving his country Malaysia and her Rakyat with GREAT SUCCESS according to the highest levels of practice be it medicine or politics !.

     And the IMPORTANCE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF OUR TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD IS ONE OF SINGAPORE’S FINEST BEING A BRILLIANT DOCTOR TRAINED AT THE FAMOUS KING EDWARD VII MEDICAL COLLEGE, SINGAPORE ( Now the NUS ) It’s a small World, folks !

     My crystal ball tells be that after so many decades of relative negativity, both countries Malaysia and Singapore will enter a new and dynamic Era of mutual benefit arising from the pooling of all their wherewithal and more for the good of our future generations. And we should behave like Normal Humankind as the important and vital Nexus of ASEAN if not Asia or the World.

     Malaysia Boleh as always ! The journey of a thousand lei begins with the first step, Tun !

354. Tun

     The mornings these days are dull and wet as the north-east monsoon is upon us. But I am just as happy with the knowledge that once again our beloved Malaysia has reverted back to normal under a New Young and Incorruptible Government which practices Normal Administrative Policies.

     The headlines do not seem to be of note anymore as the topics based on the ex-PM and his spouse were reported to either attend Court or questioned in lengthy sessions by the MACC.

     Taking the cue from you about history and ethics, I think something on ethics, standards, filial piety, probity, propriety, honesty, and other human virtues would be interesting in our Malaysian World which lost these virtues by the whole of the Government Establishment from 2004 to 2018. A period which was infamously dubbed as ‘Cash is King’ ! And the Prime Minister’s residence was turned into a night club with all things good or bad flowing !

     At the end of the day on 9 May 2018, the whole edifice of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government came crashing down.

     When we were young, Tun, the children were herded, marshalled and regimented here and there without much ado. Without much effort, we found ourselves as part of the tertiary education system.

     And in this system, the medics were in a curriculum which made sure they worked from 9 am to 5 pm Monday to Saturday. The homework made sure the Sundays were occupied as well. And that was over 5 years of a proper course at the famous King Edward VII Medical College Singapore. I went to one which turned its clinical students into trolley attendants even during exams. We were told that it was good for training in ethics, discipline, punctuality and physical fitness. We had to obtain bottles of blood for the Ops as well. The hospital save a lot by turning medics into porters !

     In no time at all, we were doing our houseman-ship to qualify for the requisite licence which governs ethics, standards, propriety, honesty etc to launch us on our way as professionals earning an honest living.

     My first experiences came as a houseman when I encountered an accusation by a chronic TB patient that I was planning to kill him. This patient was housed in Ward 13 and I was the person in charge of Ward 14. Every day I had to walk past him in Ward 13. I knew he was under anti-TB drugs like isoniazid and PAS which affected his mentality over 1 year treatment. The Superintendent with an English sounding name who should have known better reported me to the Minister of Health Ong Yoke Lin. Of course, I got a clean slate. The Superintendent forgot ethics, propriety etc. in his keenness to save guard his Civil Service. position.

     Not only that, when I requested a testimonial from him, he gave me one with just one sentence. My colleague who never turned up for emergencies got a 2 page testimonial from him. I smiled as I got a satisfying testimonial from the finest physician at the time in England, Dr Douthwaite ! I did not complain. I did not explain !

     One fine day, around lunch time, a burly Eurasian man turned up at the Emergency Clinic with his beautiful daughter. I forgot myself and sent her straight to the Ops without disrobing her to examine her with a nurse by my side being a pukka gentleman. My Registrar and the rest of the team laughed at me thereafter who should have failed in an exam. She did not fall into a drain to cause blood to flow out between her thighs as was reported by her burly father but was with her boyfriend the previous night ! I should have practised ethics, standards, honesty, propriety etc. Tun. I failed because my emotions overcame me !

     On another occasion about lunchtime, (I have never understood why such cases either came in at lunch time or mid night). a Chinese cookie for the Principal of the Pudu English Girls School was trolleyed into Ops because his lower vitals were all cut up by his enraged wife with a rusty knife or scissors. In no time at all with an empty stomach, I dutifully, ethically keeping to the standards attempting to restore his vital manhood. It was a desolate battle scene of gore, blood and smell before lunch, Tun ! I can still recall this today.

     One evening, a huge mountain of a Eurasian man turned up in a coma. I worked on him for as long as I could. He died. His son just as burly came up to me and expressed his gratefulness even though I failed. Tears flowed freely down my face, This made my day and my career.

     Without any explanation, I was soon managing my family estate which spent RM 250,000 annually for replanting. A handsome sum in those days when a Mercedes only cost RM 12,000. I never thought of short-changing my brothers otherwise I would not be around in our beloved Malaysia today but in Australia.

     In 1966, with associates I took control of a listed company in which the Chairman and the Directors had a ‘mess’ along Jalan Bukit Bintang and were having a gala time of wine women and song. I managed to collect 70% shareholders support from around the Peninsula. I told them what the Chairman was doing with their money. To a man, they all told me,’ As long as we get 1% dividend annually we are happy, We understand the Chairman and his associates need to relax because they worked very hard for us.’ From then on, it was clear to me that it was quite easy to cheat Malaysian shareholders. This had happened right up to 2018 !

     Working to salvage the biggest bankruptcy corporation without money fron the MIDF Consortium in the 1970s, Folex Industries Berhad now known as Sri Hartamas, the staff were making all sorts of signals to do negative things especially the unused quota of 10 Million lbs of cotton yarn which I dutifully returned to the Ministry of Finance for 9 years. I could only used about 3-4 Million lbs every year.

     Once I caught the overseas suppliers of yarn short when I could assess a shortage of the cotton yarn was looming. They requested me to go out to the sea in Singapore in a yacht with them amongst other offers. I told them Folex will never sue them to retrieve the millions of ringgits but they should repay whatever they could. Folex received what was owed to it from all but not in full from the losers. I never sue my debtors.

     I heard from my friends that Sime Darby sold a Nova Scotia cheaply to a MCA fellow a year after the event. As a Director of Consolidated Plantations, I was duty bound to ask the Management the reason why this matter was not presented to the Board. I was told since the amount of the sale was only RM 4 Million which was less than 2% of the total assets of Consolidated Plantations, there was no necessity to inform the Board. Like this, they could have sold all the assets without informing the Board !

     However, this valuable property which was by the new North-South Highway Rawang was first shelved in a listed company which was then shuffled up to RM 88 Million bought by Talam and Perangsaan Selangor. This beautiful property was soon turned into a tropical slum known as Bukit Beruntong by a Tan Sri Dato Seri Dr JP who claimed his father was a lorry driver from Gopeng, Perak ! My father was a dish-washer in the kitchen of Towkay Loke Yew’s kongsi !

     I have such a long list of breaches of ethics, etc that this might never end and become boring. However, here is another interesting episode on human greed and weakness in daily life.

     One morning, my phone rang. The CEO of Cycle & Carriage Ltd Singapore was on the line. He requested my permission thus,’ There is an offer of a yacht which is quite cheap. The other trading houses like Boustead has one too which is used to entertain our clients.’ I replied ‘ Tommy, I am not into yachts. But if the other Directors agree, I have no objection.’ Thereafter, I did not hear from Tommy anymore.

     However, soon after this incident, I was lounging by the side of the Star Ferry Tsim-sha-tsui. A huge yacht docked by me. Two young expat families with butlers and matrons dis-embarked with tables, bags and hampers. And at the back of this huge yacht was emblazoned in large lettering, ‘SIME DARBY’. I returned to KL and asked the Management why the Board was not informed about this yacht. The reply was that everyone has a yacht in Hong Kong and the yacht was to keep the expats happy. In my mind, I thought why the Management did not make the Directors of Sime Darby and its shareholders happy too ?

     Tun. as we are all aware in this day and age the rampant greed and weakness of the flesh, 2004 to 2018, in our beloved Malaysia knew no bounds. You were correct that history which recorded not only our mistakes but also our good behaviour as exemplified by the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Huseein Onn and your good-self are super role models for all the Rakyat and aspiring leaders to follow. This we must never forget. And with the right mind-set like now, together we will build a great Nation, Malaysia.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! History is the finest arbiter of Humankind and the Truth.

355. Tun

     A wet and cool morning which turned out to full of sunshine white clouds and blue sky.

     Another wonderful and classic day for us Malaysians. I ferried my grand-daughter to her now much loved SMK. As expected, not many of her fellow students turned up because the final exams for the year have ended last week which was followed by the joyous Deepavali Festival two days ago. What a wonderful mix of all sorts of cultural activities in our beloved Malaysia !

     Talking about Deepavali, as all our attention is riveted on your audacious and fruitful Look East Policy, we should not forget whichever Policy we uphold is still backed up by our traditional Policy of friends to all, enemy to none.

     It is because of your constant and steadfast refrain on your thinking in the National Interest within the limits of our country’s Sovereignty that the World and Malaysians look upon you as a leading Statesman of the day. With our Foreign Policy which becomes more and more engraved in stone as time goes by, from our view of the World, all countries look great and friendly to us.

     How many of us are aware India has one of the best education system in the World ?

     Not much is known about India which is seldom publicise ?

     The Indian System produced many famous scholars and Nobel Prize Laureates since the 19th Century. Laureates like Satya Sen who is welcomed by the highest academic centres of excellence on both sides of the Pond.

     It pays for our Minister of Education to visit India’s education establishments especially those based in New Delhi up to the Dehra Dun plateau by the foot-hills of the high Himalayas. A Silicon Valley of Education of sorts for India’s future, progress and wealth based on her younger generations.

     But this New Delhi-Dehra Dun-Mussoorie Nexus was developed from what the British established way back in the 19th Century. Mumbai and Calcutta are renowned academic establishment as well.

     Since Independence in 1947, India in her wisdom kept on improving the quality and facilities which were in this Nexus without any political hindrance or disturbance. India built up her elites this way.

     To this very day, quietly and successfully India as the largest democratic country in the World can proudly march upwards with these English speaking elites in step with other great Nations. This is long term planning for you and me, Tun.

     The English language was not only preserved but enhanced for the overall interest of Mother India which has now 350 million English speaking Indians to go places and show paces in North America especially.

     It is good with a proper Foreign Policy, Malaysia and Malaysians can see the World in comparison with their own. As I always believe that visiting other countries with one’s eyes open to see but not to look, is the best education for all. The best time to visit India is in Spring or Autumn. The huge myriad of flora and fauna and the immense diversity of her population mixing, living in peace and harmony will surprise anyone.

     To many Malaysians who were educated in India’s tertiary system, what I mentioned is not new.

     In fact more Malaysians should visit and study in India with a political socio-economic system somewhat like Malaysia’s. We are the two most successful Asian democracies, Tun.

     Lest we forget ! Malaysia’s new found democratic status was saved by your brilliance and courage Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! We will all be there with the New Young Incorruptible Government of the old and the new, the good and the great !

356. Tun

     When the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government lost its bearings as regards our Foreign Policy, the whole country was in a turmoil. There was no redress or awareness of what really happened which caused its free-fall and down-fall. The lack of understanding of the ways and means of Power in relation to our beloved Malaysia’s wherewithal and strategic geo-political stance only go to show that the Leadership was not qualified and unfit between 2003 and 2018.

     Their ineptness and a weakness not only for fun and games but the penchant to line their pockets at the Rakyat’s expense are the horror stories of everything which is abominable in any civilization.

     Malaysia succeeded on her own right up to October 2003 and then the weakness of the flesh and the soft underbelly took hold of those relevant authorities from top to bottom.

     Our Foreign Policy was quickly exploited by the shrewd and inscrutable. It became lop-sided and not friends to all and sundry of the World.

     From now onwards, stupid policies based on abang-adek, 5 eyes, very private retreats and super hot relationships should be discarded once and for all.

     Let our beloved Malaysia grow up with SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST which befit it standing and not be fudged by shrewd and inscrutable types with a huge knife behind their backs !

     Our beloved Malaysia was nearly delivered lock stock and barrel to be a slave Colony of a one-street town with only 900,000 male Chinese between aged 21 to 50. And those fellows responsible were very fond of the ‘K’ word. Vide. Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011

     IMAGINE A COUNTRY OF 31 MILLION STRONG, BOUNTIFUL OF NATURAL RESOURCES, AND STANDS ASTRIDE THE WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT CHOKE-POINT WHICH STRETCHES 1,200 MILES FROM THE ANDAMAN SEA TO THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, meekly submitted (without a fight) to something which is nothing via the TPPA/CPTPP by the stroke of a pen. What more can anyone say about such stupidity ? By people who were very fond of the ‘K’ word !

     Besides through your brilliance and courage of a LIFETIME, overnight our beloved Malaysia became one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     This is the WAY to go Tun ! YOUR WAY IN THE FORMULATION OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S FOREIGN POLICY WHICH IS FRIENDS TO ALL, ENEMY OF NONE !

     A kind of Asian Switzerland in the making for us Tun.

     During World War II, Hitler’s Germany did not subdue the Swiss even though they were neighbours. The Swiss being Germans never died for Hitler.

     Therefore it makes sense to invite all to invest in Malaysia like the Shinkansen for Malaysia and Singapore which will be a showcase of our neutral Foreign Policy. YOUR WAY, a wise and sensible WAY, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! The German Swiss never died for Hitler of Germany in World War II.

357. Tun

     Your emphasis on the Look East Policy for Malaysia is absolutely correct given Malaysia’s diverse background in terms of everything.

     We cannot and should not be biased by leaning on one single country alone.

     Therefore, your emphasis on your Look East Policy is dot on the spot.

     Since 9 May 2018, our beloved Malaysia became overnight and thanks to your brilliant and courageous efforts, one of the four most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia.

     Not only that Malaysia is the most important of the four countries in strategic geo-political terms as it stands astride an important choke point which stretches from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea, a distance of 1,200 miles.

     Not only that Malaysia has one of the most democratic governments in the World with peoples from 3 ancient civilizations and others, bountiful natural resources and a superb Society which got rid of it previous corrupt BN Government by democratic means. And the peoples speak Malay, Mandarin, Tamil and English. It is good to learn Japanese too who are actually more attuned to us in political terms.

     Many Japanese universities should be established in Malaysia given the ample building facilities and infra-structures available.

     Their businesses were strongly represented here from 1960s to 2003.

     As a major World economy Japan should never be left out or reduced in influence in the Malaysian Economy which should embrace all as a friend to all. Neutrality will help us to go places. Not exclusivity will hurt us.

     WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT, MALAYSIA IS ASIA’S VERY OWN SWITZERLAND IN THE MAKING, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Whether we like it or not, Malaysia is Asia’s very own Switzerland in the making ! The World will want it so !

358. Tun

     Your Innovative, Creative and Visionary approach to the Japanese investors and other foreign investors to come to Malaysia is timely.

     As you are aware Malaysia is a haven from Trade Wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods etc.

     An environment which is conducive to establish factories and townships in support.

     Malaysia now has a New Young and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great. All very keen to go places and show paces.

     Which country in the World has been rejuvenated like this through proper democratic means ?

     Malaysia must now offer its best foot forward in terms of everything to attract the FDI and Japan which needs a safe-haven for its industrial production chain. Malaysia can provide all essential facilities and guarantee freedom and a safe environment to do business at the lowest cost on par with international standards.

     Not only that, Japanese made goods for Japan could be flown back direct without hindrance. This is the new Way to go Tun. YOUR WAY. Like this mutual benefits are assured. No hang-overs or hang-ups

     There are lots of capacity in our FTZs, parts of the Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. Your new approach to the Japanese and their establishment of factories in new townships or FTZs is timely. Where else but Malaysia Tun ?

     Now, Malaysia must push hard on this attractive and beneficial investments to the Japanese at this juncture which will take off rapidly given the circumstances. Time is of the essence before other copycats appear.

     Another First for you, Tun ! We must bring part of the Japanese factory supply chain into Malaysia free from weather disturbance for a generation or more. Your Vision 2020 achieved as planned.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

359. Tun

     There is nothing more significant than the Award of the Grand Cordon of the Golden Pawlonia to you by His Royal Majesty of Japan this morning.

     This unique Award recognises a Life-time of dedication, love and compassion for which it is priceless. Many volumes of script would have to be published to record all that were undertaken by you without qualms or doubts.

     Like an unceasing game of snakes and ladders, you like any other human being were consumed by some treacherous snakes along the way. Fortunately, these snakes were small as they were only closest aides with a secret agenda and could not swallow you whole, Tun. Man proposes. God disposes.

     You manage to climb the long ladders and achieved success, one after another. Some of us, the very few, are built or born this way.

     But the majority always thought they could do better. Just look at the minor official. Before he became the PM, he had already garnered RM 2 Billion without any effort ! Obviously, this minor official did not have the right MIND and APTITUDE to be a PM !

     From now on, I can see your signal contribution to the following building blocks which will form and strengthen our Nation with its Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias, our loyalty and devotion to the Constitution, the Yang Di Pertuan Agong and the Royal Sultans and is a friend to all :-

     1. A top-class Federal Government which practises NORMAL FUNCTIONS as per the Statutes. The goodness will flow down from the apex to the base of the Power Pyramid.
     2. Your successor will govern like any other Premier in the World. This is the most difficult part of being NORMAL with all the temptations offered.
     3. The National Car Project will be up and running without the MISCHIEVOUS AND CORRUPT CLOSEST AIDES TO CREATE SCANDALS behind your back.
     4. Malaysia because of your esteemed standing in international affairs will be steeped in all manner of negotiations or discussions on TRADE. No more TPPA/TPCPP for us Tun
     5. The crooked bridge may be up and running as a straight bridge !
     6. Japanese/foreign industrial townships will spring up on the Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak. There will be undisturbed production for the Japanese at the lowest costs for mutual benefits.
     7. Malaysia and Singapore will be proper Sovereign Nations according to International Laws.
     8. Penang, Kedah and Perlis with bustling economies at minimum costs. Better than the Klang Valley which has gone Jurassic.
     9. Lo and behold ! Malaysia is up there with the Greats, Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India, Good Governance Japan !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our thanks to you Tun !

360. Tun

     This can only be a wonderful Monday morning as all the Sekolah Menengah Sekolah2 are closed. However, I was up and about before the crack of Dawn at 5.30 a.m. And one significant headline this morning thus :-

     ‘ DR M OUT TO WOO JAPANESE INVESTORS.’

     Again you have hit the nail right on the head.

     The Japanese investors are one of the best with no ‘frills’ nonsense and completely focussed on doing proper business.

     I learnt from them in the early 1960’s in international commodities trading. I was close to Kasho of Yokohama which Singaporean Japanese employees taught me how to eat sushi at one of the first Japanese restaurant housed inside the Indonesian Embassy, Orchard Road. I was also close to Ishihara Sanyo. I had no problem dealing with the Japanese ever since. I like to buy their goods which are always top quality but not cheap.

     At that time, I remember it was 220 Japanes yen to a US Dollar ! By the 1980s, the value of the Imperial Palace grounds could buy up the whole of downtown Manhattan, New York. New York. But by 1991, the yen crashed and my friend the bullion King of Japan, Okasan, went with it.

     Today in Kuala Lumpur, I observed many young Japanese have started catering businesses. This is a good sign which confirms that to a Japanese, Malaysia has a great future as befits their view that we are cosmopolitan. With the New Young and Incorruptible Government, business will be even better !

     For comparison, there are thousands of Japanese eateries in Hong Kong and hundreds in Singapore. Malaysia is still catching up.

     But through your efforts in attracting new Japanese investments, the growth in a new line of Japanese business in Malaysia will bloom.

     I came upon a Japanese restaurant owner who has since retired back to Hokkaido who showed me a picture of you and him at the opening of his restaurant during your 22 year Administration. And coincidentally, I met the Bosnian fellow who was backed by you to establish a chain of pizza restaurants in KL and made good.

     How many Malaysians know what good you have done to all and sundry ?

     Comparatively, the Hong Kong and Taiwanese investors came here to Malaysia to exploit our textile quotas to the United States or to take advantage of the cheap land and incentives offered by the Government.

     I know of one Johor Baru Hong Kong owned textile factory which brought in their old desks, old boilers and discarded machinery from Hong Kong which were declared as new for banking purposes. The Taiwanese could be considered as the sharpest in this game. They move in fast and run off just as fast as soon as they made the faat buck. Hong Kong and Taiwanese investors in businesses are generally fly0by0nite types. I believe there is a once Taiwanese industrial village in Selangor which is now abandoned very soon after establishment.

     At the moment, there is an over RM 1 Billion share rigging scandal on the Bursa which was reported to the SC in 2016 involving Taiwanese and Chinese small listed companies in collusion with a local syndicate.

     Matters like these which bring a bitter taste in the mouth.

     The Japanese from my experience are always strictly controlled professionally from Japan. No monkey business is permitted. This I can vouch for because I was once an investor in the most modern handkerchief factory set up by the biggest handkerchief corporations of Japan and Germany, Nishio and Winckler. The top bosses (owners) inspected the factory twice a year personally and stayed in Kluang, Johor for at least a week. No fun and games for them. Business is serious.

     Hence, the Japanese are the most desirable investors in Malaysia. I noted that there has been a slow down-trend in Japanese investments over the last 20 years. But a new Japanese push in investments came from the young enterprising Japanese in the catering trade. This augurs well for your forthcoming efforts to attract new Japanese investments, Tun !

     If the young Japanese think like now that Malaysia is good for them, why not the more established Japanese businesses ?

     The key is to group them together in new places where land is cheap and workers plentiful or former FTZs either in the Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak with good air services as regards the logistics in relation to the factories to be set-up. AND MALAYSIA IS FRIENDLY WITH NO EARTHQUAKES, FLOODS OR TSUNAMIS.

     THE OFFER MUST BE BIG LIKE ALL YOUR BIG ABD SYCCESSFUL IDEAS TUN !

     YES TUN ! You are absolutely correct to attract the Japanese as a GROUP and establish them as a GROUP for efficient, quick and profitable returns to the Japanese and all. Let this be your new approach to the Japanese. Cheap land, electricity, water and efficient workers plus good transportation and living conditions for their families and children, practically and culturally for our two hands to clap together.

     I AM CERTAIN TUN YOUR IDEA GIVES RISE TO MANY MALAYSIAN CORPORATIONS WILLING TO BUILD COMPLETE TOWNSHIPS FOR JAPANESE INDUSTRY/BUSINESS AS A PACKAGE DEAL. Who says there are no opportunities in Malaysia Tun ?

     As I have been saying, your MIND which is free from fun and games unlike the others who came after you, is truly for our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat. Who else but Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who has no blood on his hands ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Let Malaysia have a deal with the Japanese not one or two small ones, BUT A TOTAL BIG PACKAGE/S WHICH PUTS A STAMP ON PROFITABLITLY FOR ALL SERIOUSLY FOR AT LEAST A GENERATION, Tun ! Yes, everything is possible in the Peninsula, Sabah and Sarawak with the New Young and Incorruptible Government, Tun ! Malaysia is ready and willing Tun !

361. Tun

     This Sunday is one of the most relaxed and quiet for the ordinary man or woman in the street.

     Most have either gone back to their kampongs or taking it easy in their shorts or hot pants strolling the air-cooled Malls located at nexus points near to the highways or byways which are easily accessible to all and sundry or those who look forward to the great Hindu Deepavali festival holidays soon.

     This is what a peaceful and harmonious Nation like our beloved Malaysia should be – a perfect place to raise a family for the future. No problem.

     However what more has anyone to say after the great anticipation of a solid and significant 2019 Budget the dynamic platform for the future and its anti-climax ? Nothing much of depth in it but what was not said was ominous to the few who understood.

     The powerless BN types howled ‘copycat’ with the sudden realization of a total disconnect by them between money and politics. They never had it so good for 14 years at the expense of the Rakyat 2004 to 2018.

     One minor official could scoop up RM 2 Billion without much effort and his powerful friend at that time took it as a matter of course. So much for corrupt practices by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government 2004 to 2018. Let us now determine the signal achievements which were attained during the 22 years of your Administration, Tun !

     Throughout the 22 years Administration, all the closest aides let you down because of their secret agenda except one. Those who were supposed to deliver the Proton, the steel mill, the Bakun Dam etc crossed the red-line of no return which incurred losses. But the experience from these negative results has now turned into good use now WITHOUT THESE MISCHIEVOUS CLOSEST AIDES WHICH ONLY CREATED SCANDALS AT YOUR EXPENSE, Tun.

     As it was wise-cracked, they were all YES-MEN, from ex-duck feather plucking ex-tycoons to loud-mouthed Stradivarius violin collectors who sleep in Singapore and Subang !

     But your notable and distinctive achievements 1981 to 2003 were way above those little hiccups created BY UNEDUCATED CLOSEST AIDES ! These were from 1981 to 2003 as follows :-

     1. 1981-2003 – An Era of Peace and Harmony which brought Prosperity and Advancement to All.

     2. The Construction of the North-South Highway and its tributaries which brought huge areas of undeveloped land into arable land for commerce and development at one go along the West Coast.

     3. The development of Pulau Tioman, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Pangkor and Pulau Langkawi and Labuan.

     4. The KLIA was another catalyst to create wealth not only to the big land owners nearby but hundreds of small land owners along the NS/Selangor border or towards the sea. The access roads to the KLIA created more wealth for the stakeholders.

     5. The privatisation of public owned enterprises was the way to go, Tun. But who can put a stop to the exuberant new owners financing art galleries in Singapore curated by their closest and dearest at public expense ? At the end of the day, all turned turtle and kaput ! After they all nodded in UNISON many mornings in Pulau Langkawi that they would perform and deliver. You thought they were all with you on the 88th Storey but their minds were actually in the basement or Singapore !

     6. The iconic PETRONAS Towers attracted billions of ringgits from foreign tourists who came all the way to have a look-see at this Malaysia- made apparition. It was the correct call.

     7. Your request for a fair and equitable revision of the lop-sided 1962 Water Agreement with Singapore was correct. That was yesterday. Today is today, Tun. Singapore is only waiting for a solution to save face. No more. No less.

     8. The improvement to the 1921 Causeway was correct and long overdue.

     9. To treat Malaysia as an export oriented country and not a financial centre was correct with the appropriate market measures pertaining to the ringgit. Between 1972 t0 1981, the Ringgit was RM 1.00 to S$1.03,with gold in the BNM vaults. Yhis was too strong for exports and tourism. But it was appropriate for circumstances of the time after 13 May 1969, NEP and a new FM.

     10. Your emphasis on the FTZs really took the cream of FDI which boosted an agricultural country into a basic industrial environment. A great socio-economic success too. But political and socio-economic considerations did not produce a single true industrialist like South Korea or Taiwan at the material time. This left me to be an industrialist of sorts after the successful restructuring of Folex Industries Berhad, the biggest bankruptcy then 1974-1984 and now. The proposed sogo-shoshas failed because there were no building blocks to put together in a new and undeveloped country with no true entrepreneurs except for that fellow from the Melaka wet market.

     11. You were wise not to disturb important icons like the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur Bursa until it was absolutely necessary with the Foreign Exchange Controls of 2000 !

     12. Your Foreign Policy stance was based on facts and facts and not on emotions and emotions. This has stood Malaysia well to this very day. The rest of the World believe and trust you as a person who keeps his words ! Thinking on all this, maybe you write a NUTSHELL for neophytes who aspire to be Prime Ministers !

     13. Inflation was kept under control during the 22 years of your Administration giving the chance to all to save money.

     14. Many private colleges and universities were established giving a choice of education to all. The SMKs were kept at a high standard which was enough to permit all to attend overseas universities without any disadvantage.

     15. Communications and media were up-graded on par with the World.

     16. Healthcare services improved too with no theft of the doctors right to dispense medicines unlike those who came after you, Tun

     17. The whole Malaysian Society was balanced by your efforts despite cynical attempts to imbalance it. The Rule of the Law prevailed.

     18. Even your retirement on October 2003 was correct. But who knows what the future would bring. And you with your tenacity, brilliance and courage took up the challenge again to build for us and the World a top-class Malaysia to rub shoulders with the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     19. Business was easy to establish and to do.

     20. Man proposes. God disposes. We will all be with the greats as guided and led by you Tun !

     There are many more of your achievements which I may have left out, Tun ! But comparatively the period between 2004 to 2018 was one dark hellish void of negativity which held Malaysia and her dynamic peoples back in terms of development and better LIFE for the Rakyat. No more. No less.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! There is no way to go but up from now on.

362. Tun

     My heartiest congratulations to you and the FM for presenting a down to earth 2019 Budget for the Nation. The Budget is comprehensive and covers all the essential areas as befits a national financial situation in dire straits due to the rapacious Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     Many traditional Sectors of the economy were not taxed. No new taxes were introduced. All these are good indicators to show there is no desperation on the part of the New Young and Incorruptible Government to raise revenue because the reduction and the ultimate repayment of the RM 1 Trillion debt is under control.

     I like the Samurai Fund pertaining to RM7.4 Billion for 10 years from Japan with which we have a long relationship. It is good to know this relationship is strong and healthy.

     And the allowance for the Ministry of Education is good, very good.

     This 2019 Budget is the firm indicator of the good things to come under a New Young and Incorruptible Government.

     As I pointed out previously, when the Corrupt and Non-caring BN Government was in power, every Ringgit the Government spent, only 60 sens worth could be retained. With the New Young and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great, 80 – 90 sens value could be recovered in Governmental projects. This saving in itself is a remarkable achievement Honesty is the best Policy for all,

     Tun. After the horrendous 14 years, 2004 to 2018 of stealing money by leaders who were supposed to lead and be role models. It’s a great shame that these leaders were exposed as people with no honesty and merit ! The Rakyat never put them to the test. These leaders did it to themselves by shooting themselves in the foot ! They can only blame themselves for betraying the Rakyat’s trust which was placed on them. Did they think how many could be the Prime Minister of a country ? Did they think whatever a Prime Minister did wrong is treason ?

     Tun, you have got a good and efficient team of leaders together in the New Young and Incorruptible Government which is now poised to clean up the Augean Stables and be ready to push the socio-economic agenda of our beloved Malaysia as one of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. With a 2019 Budget like this, Malaysia is on trek upwards to the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan. No problem.

     As the ancients said, ‘ You can only win in the streets if you have peace and harmony at home.’ That’s the 2019 Budget, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh as always Tun ! The 2019 Budget confirmed

363. Tun

     This morning was slightly wet and dull as I ferried my grand-daughter to the last Test for the year at her Sekolah Kebangsaan. I noted that she was happy and confident and looked forward to my promise of buying her a couple of Japanese fiction in English at the Kino KLCC.

     For some months now our citizens appeared to be happy and satisfied but with empty pockets due to the rapacious Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government. But being resilient and courteous, they will prevail with the New Young and Incorruptible Government.

     Strangely, I had this feeling that your 12 November Meeting in Singapore will be a great success like your successful achievements Pre-22 year Administration, your 22 year Administration achievements and your 9 May 2018 Victory which gives hope for all of us of a mighty and strong Malaysia.

     For the very first time, arising from this Malaysia-Singapore Meeting, our relationships would be placed on a proper footing as between Sovereign Nations. This is a good step forward to all the co-operation which our 2 countries can put together for the common good. Little sticky issues which bugged as in the 20th Century will be things of the past. The great ventures which are looming in the far horizon cannot be ignored like the Belt and Road, the Triumvirate of India, Japan and China getting closer together to keep themselves in a balanced and survival mode. All these, ASEAN with Malaysia and Singapore cannot miss. They are as big as the elephant in the proverbial room.

     Hence, I conjecture with all the cards on the table, both countries can easily pick the right ones to build up a picture of sincere friendship between Malaysia and Singapore. At the end of the day, both Prime Ministers should sign off to complete the picture of true friendship and co-operation. Who can do better than this ?

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Your future achievements will be your greatest on any term !

     Will usa taxpayers feel their money is well spent by sending military troops to the mexican border rather than banning weapon rights on blanket form or military wars against terrorism since none of the usa presidents had chosen to do that except mr trump, the answer would be know in november’s mid term election soon.

     Fan bing bing with fans of 60 million accross and outside china is humble enough to admit her wrong doing because under the provincial law and central law, she could be jailed when she doesnt admit her wrong doing of not declaring her tax for the last 5 years.

     The top officials in this provincial income tax department are punished too for this tax fraud that accumulated for 5 years.

     Sini, these so called perjuang bangsa dan agama mereka with title defacto decided to rebrand barisan nasional so that they can stay relevant with forever got tommorow one of man proposes, god disposes by changing hands at the top echelon by saying, hey, this is my chickens, with snap of fingers in tunjuk their perasaan whereby igp will let them go off just like that?

     If they want to rot, and left behind, thats the choice they made, and thats nothing we can do about it.

     I dont feel angry nor frustrated anymore because after giving them more than 60 years, they still think they are not rich, it is up to other component parties to decide whether to join, or not to join them.

     Modi had spend billion of us dollar for building his worshipping giant statue in uniting the indian, will his political party still win in coming general election?

     Hollywood vs bollywood?

     Some would have noted that I kept mentioning the wonderful and fine mornings over and over again. My intention is pure and simple.

     If all of us appreciate and take note of the same wonderful mornings together every morning, we have UNITY in thought which hopefully will lead us all to think about what made our beloved Malaysia great or the possible tragedies which might suddenly fall upon us. If all our fellow citizens have UNITY IN THOUGHT IT NATURALLY FOLLOWS UNITY IN ACTION FOLLOWS ! But in our beloved Malaysia, we must always expect the unexpected !

     This morning as I was cruising around looking for a suitable place to satisfy my famished palate, Lo and Behold ! My weary eyes caught sight of a new modern Malay café designed according to a modern theme, open kitchen and an eclectic array of foods, Ikan bakar, Sotong bakar, Nasi Lemak, Nasi Korea (?), Kampung Ayam etc. All advertised loudly in a modern style menu. Malaysian cuisine has now come into its own in keeping with the times. I just had a kopi-O as its full menu only springs into play at mid-day !

     And the headlines this morning only underlined the obvious, with the Opposition media going all out to draw attention.

     1. NST. ‘MALAYSIA DROPS 9 PLACES IN ENGLISH PROFICIENCY RANKINGS.’

     2. STAR.’NO EXAMS FOR LOWER PRIMARY.’

     3. NST. ‘OFFICERS IN LAND SALE ON LEAVE.’

     4. MALAY MAIL. ‘ BNM OFFICERS ON LEAVE OVER PROBE ON LAND DEAL’

     5. STAR. ‘ BNM PROBES DEEP INTO DISPUTED RM 2 BIL LAND PURCHASE.’

     6. FINANCIAL DAILY. ‘ BANK NEGARA COMMISSIONS REVIEW ON PURCHASE OF LOT 41.

     7. NST. ‘EXAMS ABOLISHED TO MAKE LEARNING FUN.’

     8. STAR. ‘ NO EXAMS FOR LOWER PRIMARY.’

     9. STAR. ‘ SURVEY SHOWS MOST MALAYSIANS SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH.’

     10. MALAY MAIL. ‘ MALAYSIA EIGHTH WORST COUNTRY FOR FREEDOM OF THOUGHT.’

     11. MALAY MAIL. ‘ WHAT SUPREMACY ? KETUANAN POINTLESS IF YOU ARE LABOURERS ‘

     12 MALAY MAIL. ‘ PACIFIC TRADE PACT SHUNNED BY TRUMP CLEARED FOR LAUNCH.’

     13. FINANCIAL DAILY. ‘ PACIFIC TRADE PACT CLEARED FOR LAUNCH.’

     These 13 headlines encompass all that will affect us for now and the future – either we Malaysians stand par with the rest of the World or be SUBSUMED INTO A SLAVE COLONY OF SINGAPORE VIA THE TPPA/CPTPP. Vide, the professional comments of Prof. Jomo and the UN Economics expert based at UNCTAD, New Delhi.

     1. The very first wise and practical decision by the YB Minister of Education. The stress on the parents and children should not begin at such a young age. Mental development goes in step with a child’s physical development. The objective in Education is to be all-inclusive and accept slow developers which are treated normally like the fast developers. I have seen as the pressure mounted in the higher grades teacher parents resorted to exchange exam papers with each other to ease their children’s suffering. This cheating crutch did not help the children in Tertiary Education. They all collapsed. Serious education begins in the Secondary Schools. Education must be all-inclusive.

     2. In 1969/1970, I remember the then Minister of Education promulgated his own version of the National Policy for Education and then disappeared into the thick forests of Sarawak. Our drop in the proficiency in English began after this, in a country where the art of speaking English should be no problem. It’s correction time once again. Hopefully, this is the very last time for the sake’s of our country and our children. With the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, there was absolute absenteeism on this important subject called English.

     3. Our Freedom of Thought is interconnected with our Education System and what the Government of the Day thinks about Freedom of Thought. The World had turned many times over since the Cold War 1948 to 1989 ! What was toxic then may be a cure-all today.

     4. What Supremacy ? Suddenly we Malaysians found ourselves carrying an EMBARASSING WORD, ‘KETUANAN’. Fellows who claimed to be ketuanan are no ketuanan at all. As Tun rightly pointed out,AND I ADD, ‘ HOW TO BE KETUANAN WHEN LITTLE BOYS COULD BRING DOWN A GOVERNMENT OF 60 YEARS STANDING ? Not only that the TPPA/CPTPP the Lee Kuan Yew created Malaysia Killer was signed and READY TO BE RATIFIED AND DELIVERED IF NOT FOR THE UNEXPECTED COLLAPSE OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT ON 9 MAY 2018. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Tun, see the UNJUST AND EXPLOITATION OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.

     On the one hand, an absurd and lop-side Water Agreement 1962 between Sovereign Nations is NON-NEGOTIABLE. ON THE OTHER, OUR CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT TOGETHER WITH LEE KUAN YEW’S EMBEDDED COHORTS IN OUR SYSTEM COMMITTED THE ULTIMATE TREASON BY SELLING US LOCK-STOCK AND BARREL VIA THE TPPA/CPTPP TO TURN US INTO A SLAVE COLONY OF SINGAPORE. Where else but Malaysia Tun ? The word ‘SHAME’ does not appear in our vocabulary, Tun !

     If we ratify the TPPA/CPTPP we become SLAVES of the slave Colony of Singapore.

     i) Overnight tariff free goods of all descriptions will flood in to kill our businesses.

     ii) Only beneficiaries are those small esoteric rubber goods manufacturers which potential benefits to Malaysia ae limited.

     iii) The rest of the Malaysian Industry whatever these are only benefit in 20 years time.

     In the meantime, Singapore THE SOLE BENEFICIARY OF TPPA?CPTPP AS ENVISIONED BY LEE KUAN YEW, benefits IMMEDIATELY. No wonder the Singaporeans treat us as stupid all the time ! No more cheating for us, Tun !

     WE SHOULD BE TIRED OF THIS CHEATING WHICH DID NOT DATE FROM 1962 BUT 1947 !

     5) The functions of Bank Negara Malaysia as governed by Statute are :

     I) Banker to the Government.

     ii) Issuer of the currency

     iii) Safeguard the currency.

     The headlines mentioned about commercial dealings of a Central Bank.

     However, there is the Monopolistic Corrupt Archaic and Useless Discount House System which adds on the cost of banking to the Rakyat. No country used the Discount House System for over 50 years. It is alleged that the Managers of Bank Negara Malaysia in charge of increase and reduction of interest were bought up by a major Discount House since the mid-1870s. The longest CORRUPTION IN MALAYSIA IF NOT THE WORLD. Abolish the MONOPOLISTIC CORRUPT ARCHAIC AND USELESS DISCOUNT HOUSE SYSTEM OWNED BY A VERY FEW !

     Malaysia Boleh as always ! No cheating for us, Tun, we are Malaysians !

370. Tun

     There have been many reports on your forthcoming visit to Singapore on the Water Agreement 1962. It suddenly struck me that there is NO REASON WHY SINGAPORE SHOULD BE INTRANSIGENT ON THIS WATER AGREEMENT BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING TYCOONS WERE PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR THEIR ASSETS ?

     And what services did the tycoons provide to Singapore which treats Malaysia differently on the Water Agreement 1962 ? Why return favours to tycoons and NOT TO MALAYSIA, a Sovereign Nation with National Interests ?

     1. DBS purchased Dao Heng Bank Hong Kong over the usual price.

     2. Li Ka Shing Watson Chain was purchased for a good price.

     3. Thaksin’s business was purchased for a high price which investment returns are said to be nothing exceptional.

     And Singapore did not show any recognition of a one-side Water Agreement 1962 which needs to be re-negotiated.

     EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP DID IT TO NAFTA, IRAN NUCLEAR TREATY, CLIMATE CHANGE TREATY, NATO, UPU TREATY ON POST. TRADE DEALS WITH CHINA AND JAPAN. TPPA, He has always claimed any Treaty which is one-sided, he would RE-NEGOTIATE FOR BETTER TERMS.

     If the great United States could do it, why not Malaysia ?

     Malaysia’s request for a re-negotiated Water Agreement 1962 is fair and just WITHOUT GOING TO THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE AT THE HAGUE because President Trump has shown THE WAY !

     Malaysia is losing money every day with the Water Agreement 1962 because of the depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit and the lop-sided Agreement which did not include Inflation, Monetary Depreciation, 3 sens locked in for 50 years or more WITH NO ESCAPE CLAUSE !

     ARE WE GOING TO BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD AGAIN BY SUPPLYING WATER AT A LOSS TO SINGAPORE TO KEEP THEM HAPPY ?

     I feel we should be compensated for any loss in money by supplying water to Singapore since 1962 and forget all the Abang-Adek nonsense. No country in the World SUBSIDIZES ANOTHER COUNTRY BY LOSING MONEY ON ITS OWN NATURAL RESOURCES. One cheeky Singaporean said Malaysia got the water free from Heaven ! OK ! What has this to do with Singapore ?

     No wonder the Singaporeans think we are all stupid.

     If President Trump can seek a fair and just deal for the United States of America by going back to Treaties as far back as the 19th Century, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH MALAYSIA GOING TO THE HAGUE ASKING FOR A FAIR PRICE AND SEEKING A FAIR COMPENSATION GOING BACK TO 1962. No one is above the Rule of Law.

     Only this time, Malaysia should engage an up to the mark lawyer instead of an EMERITUS PROFESSOR past his prime. And no tango for two, Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

371. Tun

     I finally got some time to write a few lines after rushing about doing the odd jobs from 5.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. I suppose this sort of activity keeps me alive and well. But I am fully aware that my present physical attributes are like that of a 100 year old motorcar much worn out and depreciated. And what keep people like me going and going as though we are 21 years old in mind and spirit only with nothing much else to show but just a figment of imagination ?

     Yes ! It’s the mental crutches of the Mind. I still have mine of a different kind which crutches kept me going throughout my Life. And you quite rightly mentioned about ‘crutches’ or ‘politically induced crutches’ for the fortunate few who depend on them all the time.

     There are monetary crutches or mental crutches or free education crutches and many crutches to assist the apparent dis-advantaged along in Life.

     First, we have rich men’s sons who are so well-endowed that the wealth they have become crutches on their outlook in Life. They normally failed and disappeared from view.

     Second, a phenomenon limited to a privileged group which was looked after so well that mental crutches became inherent in their minds. And the utilization of their brains maybe less than 30% unlike Tun’s brain which is 100% at work all the time.

     So when Tun mentioned about having less crutches for those who depended on them, I am certain most of them scratched their heads trying to figure out what the crutches meant. In most case, the mental crutches filled the balance of the 70% of the minds. How to go about turning all these minds with 70% mental crutches into minds like the Tun ?

     It is obvious that this wonderful elixir of Life with the full use of one’s brain cannot be done in a short span of Time.

     An exceptional person like Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad spent his boyhood days with his scholarly father who probably was as strict as they come as teachers. Then, his zeal to save Humankind brought him to pore over tomes of thick medical textbooks in small print. His brain synapses were boosted by will and candour set by the medical curriculum which made sure no young medic had any free time throughout the week – for over 5 years. A sort of pressure cooker to inculcate memory in the neophyte. This was the Theory. The Practice of Medicine comes later. All in all, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s brain was fashioned to absorb, analyse, and diagnose a cure or whatever after his brain was so meticulously prepared when he was young and nubile to absorb all sorts of information available at his most physically active age. This is the extreme example of success with the training of the brain which becomes the MIND when it is turn to good use.

     For the ordinary student which progressed through all the normal stages of education to his first job of his Life, there will be the peer pressure and his first taste of political favours which would turn into mental crutches later on as he progressed in the Malaysian Society. Unless the person has the natural curiosity to improve himself or herself by continuing further studies or DIY reading of eclectic subjects, most graduate would have been overwhelmed by their work and family life.

     In order to create a person without relying MENTAL CRUTCHES, it seems the proper way to go about it is to inculcate the values of leisure reading, competitive sports, educational and mind searching board games etc which becomes a habit right throughout one’s adult life.

     In time, those prepared accordingly would break out independently to do their own thing with their careers whether in batik fashion,or fusion Malaysian cuisine, or horticulture fish, orchard, animal farming, or SME’s, or e-business, or gambolling in the capital market, or property developers, etc instead of relying on hand-outs which are related to ‘political crutches.’ and cushy jobs in a country full of opportunities to push further afield overseas.

     Maybe, the school curriculum includes a subject on how to achieve SELF-DEVELOPMENT FROM YOUNG TO ADULTHOOD LIKE THE EXAMPLE OF TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD. Good memory. Positive thinking. Enjoy doing it. Successful achievements give satisfaction, not money per se. Do not be jealous of others. Little drops make a mighty Ocean.

     The New, Young and Incorruptible Government has a full plate in their hands.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

372. Tun

     This morning was as fine as yesterday morning with a cloudless sky and not a drop of air around. As I walked past the young banyan tree by the roadside, the resident bulbul began to chirp sending a warm message to my heart. Off I went with my grand-daughter to her Sekolah Kebangsaan being the second day of her Final Tests for the year. It was good for me to note quietly that she was confident and had whatever problems she might have under her control. It’s all a state of mind, Tun as we know.

     And as for the headlines, there were none of note as the New, Young and Incorruptible Government gets into the stride of governing with Normalcy and Routine. This is what should be as the huge malfeasances of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government are being dealt with in a routine manner. Catch the crooks and charge them in Court would be the Order of the Day Tun.

     With this quiet and peaceful background, the Rakyat have returned to their work places with no hiccups or displacement.

     No more un-towards surprises for anyone at least for the near foreseeable future. I do not expect the Budget to be a shaker and mover of the Earth either.

     With our internal affairs well under control and our former Opposition leaders now overnight became Government Leaders, willy-nilly the YBs must DIY or learn the ropes with each passing day.

     I note mischievous journalists from the Opposition tried to trap certain YBs with loaded and direct questions. This is to be expected as part of the initiation process.

     But with the bland political events in train, it is the EXTERNAL AFFAIRS WHICH FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME PUT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA RIGHT IN THE COCKPIT OF WORLD AFFAIRS WITH THE GREATS AND WITHOUT OUR ASKING.

     Fortunately, our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is now the Leader not only of our Malaysian Government but the MOST SENIOR AND CAPABLE LEADER OF ASEAN AND ASIA AS WELL. His consistency shows he is no demagogue !

     The die is now cast for the flurry of Foreign Events concerning Policies to come due to the awakening of the 3 Giants of Asia, India, Japan and China.

     Our Prime Minister would be invited all the time for his input which will be positive and direct as he has NO SELFISH MOTIVES AS ALWAYS AND NEVER SMALL MINDED unlike some self-appointed giants with feet of clay !

     Whether we like it or not, the ‘akan dating’ action will be in the Foreign Arena where the future destinies of all Asian Nations will be cast in stone within the next 2 or 3 years after having been duly shaken by President Trump and his iconoclastic ways.

     Yes Tun ! It’s Malaysia’s Foreign and Trade Policies which will matter because the writing is on the proverbial horizon concerning Nations which have billions of mouths to feed and look after with shortages of all essential necessities for Life.

     And our beloved Malaysia has become the most important Small Country of the World out of 4 important ones being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia, given your esteemed Leadership.

     This eclectic game of thrones has now gone past the National Car Project reaching up to decide on the future fates of Asian Nations and Asia in a peaceful, harmonious and NON-WARLIKE environment.

     There you are Tun ! Man proposes. God disposes.

     Those who came after your 2003 retirement cannot say anything anymore ! They had their opportunities without any effort which you assisted and gave to them Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Without reaching for the Sky, our beloved Malaysia is there ! It’s our rich amalgam of everything which all came together NATURALLY. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Keep smiling broadly Tun and Tun Siti Hasmah, we all smile with you. No more mischievous closest aides to create scandals anymore !

373. Tun

     After my comments of the importance of your Leadership in the interests of Malaysia and ASEAN in the forthcoming Trade Talks amongst all Asian Nations Big and Small, yesterday afternoon, Lo and Behold when I switched on the TV, there was a broadly smiling Mr Modi and an equally broadly smiling Mr Abe shaking hands with each other. This camaraderie can only meant one thing and one thing only, how to increase Trade with each other, between India and Japan.

     Now we have a triumvirate of major countries, 3 of them from Asia making urgent pow-wows to save their Nations and peoples Salvation, Progress and Jobs. This is the Way. This is Your Way as envisioned.

     Maybe in the future, all Asians will thank President Trump for marching to a set of different drums from the rest of the World !

     However a little sticking point is that Lee Kuan Yew created TPPA/CPTPP which was crafted by him as his enduring Legacy for his Inheritors.

     TPPA enshrined his obsession to enslave our beloved Malaysia via a free market. This will fail if 100% of the Malaysians are not stupid.

     And the last set of BN negotiators were in Lee Kuan Yew’s little pocket. They talked like SINGAPOREANS.

     Remember his ‘farewell’ trip at the age of 85 to the hot and humid Ulus. For him every minute counted.

     However, come what may under your wise guidance and clearly thinking on options which he had none, our beloved Malaysia will get the BEST DEAL OUT OF ANY TRADE DEAL TO COME. (It was alleged there was a bungle with the India Palm Oil deal in the early 1980s)

     And this morning, we see the Prince from Saudi Arabia inviting you Tun on behalf of his father the King of Saudi Arabia to visit him.

     The huge international respect engendered from your brilliant and courageous 9 May 2018 Victory is now spilling over the cup of success. And the World recognition that our beloved Malaysia is now one of 4 important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan, Malaysia, located at the most important strategic geo-political choke point in the World from the Andaman Sea to the South China Sea.

     The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is going to be very busy. It has now become one of the most important in the Land !

     In the 1950s, the KGB came to town to look for our Foreign Policy high and low. They could not find it. Later, the Russian Ambassador congratulated our Tunku for his great success in hiding it. The Tunku replied that our Malaya had no Foreign Policy ! Believe it or not Tun !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Smile broadly and freely Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. We all smile with you ! Free from closest aides to cause mischief. Those whom you thought were with you on the 88 storeys but actually their minds were in the Basement !

374. Whatever choices made here politically, no one can stop you mubarakchan, and i noted with full understanding of the political situation in here,

     What will happen, it will happen.

     What will not happen, it will not happen.

     Therefore, never do it by force to avoid breaks in unity, properity and harmony of
     all races, memang tidak berbaloi.

     P/s: it looks like only marginalized indian political parties are with umno perak, and this is within the expectations of political parties. What to do, thats politics, either you as leader take it, or leave it.

375. Pendek kata, when myr 5 million could bought someone over, then they are gone case to enjoy future myr 1 trillion worth of economic activities in process.

     They already made their choice, and if they still feel proud and complacent with what they earned over night in the name of lobbies, then, indeed, they are weak leaders.

     Opposition party in singapore could raised sgd1 million in 1 week, it simply means their members have money, and they know, when they broke the law, they must paid the court charges, habis cerita.

     P/s: even though 3rd national car is private initiative, but, this expensive price would be borne by the future generations, just like military wars, is it fair to our future generations eventhough the private sector can be billionaires today?

376. Tun

     IS THERE A CHINESE LOOKING MANGY DOG WHICH BARKS YUP! YUP! YUP! at the mere mention of Lee Kuan Yew’s name in this distinguished Blog ? If anyone finds one, lets soot it dead !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Chinese looking mangy dog or no mangy dog.

377. Good morning!

     Hari nan cerah. Selalu hanya pagi. Petang lain cerita. Harap Tun sekeluarga sihat dalam cuaca yang tak menentu.

     Semalam I baca tulisan M Shanmugam dalam The Star online. Isu yang hangat diperkatakan. I share di sini:

     What’s so special about taxi drivers?

     The print version of The Malay Mail, a 121-year-old newspaper, will stop on Dec 1. The paper, which at one time commanded a circulation of more than 60,000 copies, is the latest victim of disruptive technology in the media world.

     In the United Kingdom, department store chain Debenhams will close down 50 stores over the next two years, causing 4,000 people to be unemployed. Online shopping has taken away customers who prefer to purchase most things — from clothes to even milk — via their smartphones or laptops.

     Facebook and Google have taken away a chunk of advertising revenue that would otherwise have gone to media companies. The likes of Lazada, Zalora, Alibaba, Amazon and Mirraw have taken away customers from department stores, causing the closure of large outlets.

     The effect of technology on the real economy has cut across all industries – from retail to media and the transport industry. Thousands have seen their regular income levels dropping, or have lost their jobs.

     image: https://content.thestar.com.my/smg/settag/name=lotame/tags=all

     So, what is so special about taxi drivers that warranted Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to listen to their grouses to the extent that he even offered to resign should they want it?

     Is it because Dr Mahathir is the MP for Langkawi?

     Or do the taxi drivers in Langkawi, who are generally Malays, represent the epitome of the political pushback as the new government seeks to reform the public institutions that provide support for the lower-income group?

     The latter is likely the answer.

     Under the previous government, the solution would have been a cash handout. Everybody would have benefitted, whether the poor taxi driver or the rich guy who owns a taxi company or a fleet of taxis.

     It is not a permanent solution for taxi drivers as Grab is popular. But that will reduce the noise. This time around, however, the government does not have much money to spare.

     Moreover, the Pakatan Harapan government was voted in to institute changes in government agencies that are to assist groups such as taxi drivers, and at the same time plug the leakage. Handing out cash to appease certain groups is a practice that we don’t want to see being continued.

     Taxi drivers generally fall into the bottom 40% segment of the population, or better known as the B40 category. Their income is low and they are caught in a vicious cycle of living in poverty and ending up with little or no education.

     According to the latest Khazanah Research Institute report, households that earn less than RM2,000 a month only had RM76 left after spending for household expenditure in 2016.

     The B40 category of people are from various industries – from construction to transport and services. This particular group of people generally voted for a change in the government because they wanted more from the growing economic pie.

     If taxi drivers are given privileges, what about other segments of the B40 population who are also feeling the pinch due to the changes brought about by technology?

     There is a “Grab version” for lorry drivers and even hoteliers. So, are the workers affected going to be given handouts as well?

     The reform agenda that should eventually help the B40 will not happen overnight.

     Firstly, there has to be a major clean-up of the existing system and state-owned entities (SOEs) that are entrusted with giving out assistance to the B40 before they can even start helping the genuinely poor.

     Under the previous government, there was abuse. In almost every scheme, the rich and well-connected got richer.

     As rightly pointed out by Parti Bersatu supreme council member, Wan Saiful Wan Jan, at a recent meeting with bumiputra contractors in Kedah, before the government can even start giving jobs, the list of bumiputra contractors who deserve government assistance needs to be cleaned up.

     Otherwise, any restricted tender exercise to award jobs to bumiputra contractors would only result in the same group of wealthy contractors competing among themselves.The new government has said that it will not give blanket subsidy or handouts to all and sundry. The people certainly do not want to see an economic system that thrives on political patronage.

     Political patronage does not inspire confidence in investors.

     Malaysia has lost two big names in the world of technology to Singapore because of the lack of confidence in the system.

     Grab, which was founded in Malaysia by Malaysians and is the most expensive technology company in the region, decided to move its headquarters to Singapore a few years ago. In Singapore, the taxi drivers cannot complain. The fear of the government turning the rules because of political pressure is not there.

     The sense of confidence allowed Grab to raise more money from investors.

     This week, we lost the race to entice UK-based Dyson to hub its electric car project in Malaysia. Dyson has also gone to Singapore.

     Did Dyson choose Singapore over Malaysia because the automobile industry in Malaysia is highly politicised and tends to see government intervention when the going gets tough?

     We really will not know, but we have lost out again, even with Dr Mahathir wanting a third national car project.

     After seeing the Langkawi incident, when even the 93-year-old prime minister offered to resign despite having won the general election by a big margin, the fear is that the Pakatan Harapan government may not carry out the reforms of the government institutions.

     It would be a pity if that fear is allowed to fester. Hopefully, the Langkawi incident is an isolated case.

     The new Malaysia has got investors excited. At the same time, they are also watching to see how the new government will handle the reform of public-sector institutions, especially SOEs and other agencies that have been set up to help with the bumiputra agenda.

     It takes time and it will be painful. Budget 2019 will have measures to help the B40 segment of the population, but it will never be enough.

     The only way to resolve the problem of inequity and leakages is by reforming the agencies in the public sector. Reforms can only be done gradually as it takes time, but time is something that Dr Mahathir does not have in his hands.

     P.S Grab founder/CEO adalah anak lelaki pada tauke besar Tan Chong Motors. Yup orang Malaysia, I read somewhere dia dah jadi citizen Singapore sekarang. Not sure samada satelah the office pindah ke Singapore atau sebelum.

     I love to get up before the crack of Dawn which is the finest hour in our beloved Malaysia.

     The hour before dusk is second best. Both hours would be the times I set out during those care-free days after Merdeka driving out-station along the A roads with hardly any traffic. Beautiful Malaysia at her best. No budding Michael Schumacher along our roads then because there were hardly any cars.

     Who could imagine the huge strides in development and human movements every day as created by the first 4 most respected and successful Prime Ministers of our beloved Land the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Who could imagine ?

     As who could imagine the downfall and collapse of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government on 9 May 2018 ?

     And who could even hazard a guess that Japan and China would come to kissing terms to save themselves in the interests of their own survival and national interests in this late October ?

     And yet there you were dropping a few snippets on Democracy in Asia this very month of October 2018 Tun !

     How apt that you penned the snippets on Democracy in Asia at the beginning of the month ?

     Who could foretell such earth shattering events are beginning to take place in our homelands, Malaysia and Asia which will finally free all the vestiges of imperial hegemony and WAR in the near future due to Uncle Sam’s reneging on his hegemonic spiel ‘Globalization. Free Trade, Human Rights.’ and other important International Treaties.

     This imperial hegemonic spiel hit the World in all its glory and hit the tiny state of Singapore forcefully right on its head which lost its most profitable Black Trades in arms trading, etc entirely to the BRICS after decades of easy undercover money. This enabled Lee Kuan Yew to claim his Miracle of pushing the tiny isle to the First World without any effort.

     Who could imagine Singapore lost its GDP pants by the turn of the 21st Century ? No one could !

     And today, Tun, you sit in the cockpit of Statesmanship with the GREATS OF INDIA, JAPAN AND CHINA represented by Modi, Abe and Xi, as the GREAT of ASEAN or South East Asia. Man proposes. God disposes. This is no laughing matter which to some it is like the Chinese looking mangy dog which barks YUP! YUP! YUP1 in this distinguished Blog.

     In the interests of Survival and Growth for the peoples of each Nation, these Leaders will get together to carve out a road map to come closer together to Trade for their survival in the form of jobs and all things which make a Nation function normally.

     With the great United States now marching to a set of different drums, it does not take long for the others to know the score which will eventually fall on them.

     To this end, I see these Great Nations get closer and be more accommodative together in their own National Interests. And as you are one of the Greats yourself and in the interests of Malaysia and as a respected Great Leader of South East Asian or ASEAN, you would be invited to join them TO FORMULATE A NEW ORDER CONCERNING THE NON-WARLIKE AND PEACEFUL NATIONS OF ASIA WITH ITS HARD-WORKING AND DYNAMIC PEOPLES.

     This is a significant Watershed in the political and socio-economics for the World in which the EU is languishing due to the loss of the dynamism and ideals of its peoples. Compared with the rest of the World, Asia will pull up her socks and do things in her own interest as we have been doing for thousands of years despite the deliberate divisions created by the Colonialists.

     This unexpected event from the United States will bring the Asians together.

     Japan and China despite certain differences could and would do much concerning external threats to their Survival, Growth and Existence as meaningful entities vis-a-vis their peoples. To this end, we will see fast and furious developments to come in the near future.

     And for the very first time Malaysia will be there with you Tun in the lead and not playing half-past 19th hole golf !

     If those who succeeded you from 2004-2018 had only done their NORMAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES by just checking into office at 8 a.m. and checking out at 5 p.m. to play golf, they would also be famous and enduring historical figures too, Tun, so to speak ! But Man proposes. God disposes. Tun.

     This significant and historical mantle of a Great Statesman has fallen on you who deserves it most and not to those who love fun and games !

     Asia will be an entirely different place very soon due to the fallibility of others who try to outsmart the World. As you and me are aware a Normal and Steady Hand is the sure Way to Success. Not the bluster and hot-air BLUFFOLOGY which would go away in a whiff as it is now shown by facts and recorded history.

     Willy-nilly Tun, without boasting and bragging about your brilliance and courage, you will play an important role not only as the ARCHITECT OF NEW MALAYSIA BUT ALSO TOGETHER WITH MODI, ABE AND XI AS THE ARCHITECTS OF NEW ASIA BEING FROM MALAYSIA WHICH STANDS ASTRIDE IN THE MOST IMPORTANT CHOKE POINT OF ASIA IF NOT THE WORLD.

     And together there is every possibility of the formation for the very first time a GIANT TRADING BLOC OF NON-WARLIKE ASIAN NATIONS. Who could foresee this not too long ago, Tun ?

     There is no other Way but YOUR WAY to group together for SURVIVAL AND GROWTH in peace and harmony for all our peoples which grew out of a little seedling called New Malaysia into a New Asia !

     Things will move fast from now on, Tun ! You are already in the cockpit with the Greats Modi, Abe and Xi from ASEAN with 400 Million to make up a GiANT ASIAN COMMON MARKET OF 3 BILLIONS in time. UK will join too !

     It’s a wonderful World, Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah ! Smile widely and broadly as always !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun ! Man proposes. God disposes.

379. Mangy dogs?

     Meaning when i see any contestants bearing the face of mubarakchan, then, i just ignore, and vote the other party, right?

     As saying goes, silent is gold.

     For those who started name calling, they already loose out before next ge is called.

     P/s; once the public trust is betrayed, it might not be able to earn back no matter what they do. Presidents come and go, but party remains.

380. Tun

     Saturday mornings are slow and lazy ones for me without having to ferry my grand-daughter to her Sekolah Kebangsaan.

     Surprisingly, I turned on the TV for Aljazeera in the expectation of viewing a heralded juicy and spicy interview.

     But what I saw were the Prime Minister of Japan Abe and his Chinese counterpart Li Ke-qiang inspecting the stately lines of elite troops outside the Hall of the Peoples of China. This is significant as it was reported that no Japanese Prime Minister had visited China its immediate neighbour for 7 years and that a huge Japanese delegation accompanied Abe on this momentous journey.

     As you have rightly said that a week is a long time in politics.

     With the present of international trade turmoil, nations big and small cannot wait for events to come to their door-step. As these 2 nations, Japan and China are dynamic and positive in their outlook and actions, I expect events on trade concerning them will move fast and furious with no political holds barred.

     This is an event worth to be closely monitored by Malaysia and her ASEAN counterparts because this rapport or détente may lead to a bigger trade event within 2 years. Maybe it is worthwhile to send our Foreign Minister gallivanting to Tokyo and Beijing to find out what is the latest for Malaysia and ASEAN.

     I see only goodness will come out of all these to-ing and fro-ing between these major players in Asia. At the end of the day ( who knows? )even India might be in a huge ASIAN COMMON MARKET BLOC OF 3 BILLION DYNAMIC AND HARD WORKING PEOPLES WHO PRACTICE ASIAN VALUES AND CUSTOMS !

     As the most important leader in ASEAN, Tun, your role in this game of thrones is significant because our beloved Malaysia is now ONE OF FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, SWITZERLAND, JAPAN AND MALAYSIA. THIS IS A HUGE THING. And I am aware that you think deeply and BIG !

     Not only that, this significant and important role of Malaysia as led by her Prime Minister was thrust upon us without our asking after the fall of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which Leadership had ALREADY SIGNED TO DELIVER OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT TO SINGAPORE AS SINGAPORE’S SLAVE COLONY VIA THE LEE KUAN YEW CREATION TPPA/CPTPP.

     Further, according to the Sarawak Report today, the same Leadership had arranged to sell off Malaysia to China through the machinations of the young fat boy of no repute. But Man proposes. God disposes.

     Your brilliance and courage brought back our beloved Malaysia to its scintillating heights arising from her wonderful ancient peoples who lived in peace harmony and unity for centuries, the strategic geo-political location of Malaysia and her bountiful natural resources – right in the middle of South East Asia and its countries known collectively as ASEAN with 400 Million industrious and peaceful peoples.

     Most importantly, Malaysia stands astride 1,200 miles end to end as the most important choke point in the World. A country like Malaysia should be friends with all and sundry equally and fairly. A good example is Switzerland who maintains her neutrality to a T through all Wars !

     Thanks to your brilliance and courage, Tun, all good things seem to gather with each other currently. This is good for our Nation having been battered and robbed, ( Worst than the Rape of the Sabine women of Ancient Rome) by Leaders who were supposed to lead us towards a better Life for all. But they did nothing between 2004 to 2018 but only enriched and enjoyed themselves at the Rakyat’s expense. Let Justice and Fair Play prevail over those who BETRAYED THE RAKYAT’S TRUST now and forever.

     Malaysia through her vicissitudes and by accident have now have the essential ingredients to build a unique Nation in our own style and effort known as Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias. We do it our Way, your Way, Tun, slowly, firmly and consistently taking due care of all the different views and inclinations of the Rakyat amongst us in our slow but steady march towards our National Goals in Unity.

     To this end in building our Nation and without forgetting the basic tenets of our Great Statesman Tun Abdul Razak’s Vision and his NEP.

     Tun, we Malaysians cannot fail and must not be tripped up by small-minded people creating little hiccups. Some like the Chinese looking mangy dog which barks YUP! YUP! YUP! resident in your distinguished Blog.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! A New Malaysia for all the Rakyat.

381. Salam

     I sempat baca nasib Utusan Malaysia dan Malay Mail. Sad.

     I teringat masa zaman I muda, nak cari kerja beli Malay Mail. Later on ramai nak cari kerja beli The Star. Masa tu paper The Star punyalah tebal. Hingga ada reporter The Star kata, boleh letak semua tempat dalam rumah hahaha

     Yes indeed, sekarang semua pun e-paper. Dulu kalau orang bawak paper NST ke kedai kopi, adalah golongan professional. Those yang beli Utusan, adalah orang UMNO.

     Walau ada internet, I rindu juga printed copy newspaper. I beli seminggu sekali. Papers yang I beli The Edge atau The Star. Because of the business news. Bila lama sikit I boleh guna bungkus barang.

     I’m sad but all the best to orang surat khabar, I hope you can survive in this era of e-thing!

     The following headlines this morning deserve some attention, thus :-

     1. ‘ More people will be charged.’

     2. ‘ It’s not revenge ‘

     3. ‘ 1.4 Million living in poverty in Singapore.’

     These headlines are the true reflections of the current events of the day.
     Headlines which no one in his or her right senses expect to happen at the beginning of our adult lives, anytime longer than 21 years ago. And now every morning, we are forced to read these unpleasant news from the media as we slurped our teh tarik.

     On the one hand, the political news showed the failure of an Established Government with its Leadership completely corrupted and decadent due to the complete loss of control of our Malaysian/Asian values. The chronology I would attempt to relate as I operated at the ground level most of the time.

     On the other hand, the 1.4 Million living in poverty in Singapore shows the failure of utter dependence on the GDP without regard to the reality of Life on the ground. The whole satrap was governed by statistics recorded on paper and governed by strict conventions.

     1. ‘ More people will be charged in Court ‘ and 2. ‘ It’s not revenge.’

     First I noticed the change amongst the Chinese artisans in the early 1980s as they moved from quality skills to money grabbing. It began as only a tiny stream but by the late 1980s on onwards these became a flood. If their intended actions were extrapolated to the events which happened in MCA from the mid-1970s onwards, one understands why this was so.

     The MCA Leadership was encouraging the Chinese to counter the just acquired Sime Darby by Malay interests. This call to rally was a FAKE CALL WHICH WAS RAISED ONLY TO BENEFIT THE POCKETS OF THE MCA LEADERSHIP.( WITHOUT SIME DARBY THERE WOULD BE NO RICH CHINESE TODAY.) One of whom could remit S$ 100 Million to his girl friend’s account from Singapore to Hong Kong in 1984 after 7 years in politics. My friend remitted the money for him. The top Malaysian Chinese political echelon got away with the cream. The Chinese proletariat was left with the dregs. This cruel deception by the MCA Leadership could only end one way by misleading its constituents and supporters – a complete political defeat on 9 May 2018.

     But those in Power now will soon discover that Malaysia is a small country where things do not appear what are apparent. Everyone says Yes ! and avoid saying No !

     What I have described is only one small part of a big equation which hangs the all important Malay led Government, its Establishment and elites without which NOTHING MOVES IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA. And the headlines these days are ALL ABOUT THESE IMPORTANT DIGITS IN MALAYSIA’S EQUATION !

     How many Malaysians noticed there were no protest groups gathered in front of the Courts as the recalcitrants appeared but only their supporters ? I consider this is a strange phenomenon on the part of all those Bersih etc demonstrations which occurred for years and years. Where is the zeal and fervour to do good ? All seemed quiet and satisfied that Justice had been done but it had not been done yet because as all good and sincere politicians will tell us Politics is a Life long sacrifice and struggle.

     If we the Rakyat forget about such titanic and seismic upheavals which happened only recently in our Government and Society, then there is every likelihood what nearly killed us all and turned us into a Slave Colony of Singapore will very likely occur again.

     And this time 9 May 2018, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat was fortunate due to the brilliance and courage of just one person, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who fought for justice and fairness and turned the tables on the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government which Leadership was so weak that it did not know its generals, colonels and lieutenants were unwilling to sacrifice and fight a battle WITHOUT A CAUSE which was based on Money, Money, Money !

     As a close bystander of events, I call relate that the first cracks in morality and ethics began in Sime Darby which sold its Nova Scotia estate in north Rawang to a MCA leader for only RM 4 Million in 1990 WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE BOARD OF CONSOLIDATED PLANTATIONS.

     I asked why. I was told since the sum of RM 4 Million was less than 2% of its total assets, the sale was not reported to the Board.

     I knew why it was not reported to the Board. The Proposed North-South Highway ran through the property. This ex-Sime property was shuffled to one listed company and then finally ended up at RM 88 Million with Talam and Selangor Perangsang which turned it into a tropical slum.

     I was asked to resign when I objected to the purchase by Sime Darby of the pondan oil palm estate in Sabah (which no one wanted for 20 years) at RM 32 Million from the owner of dubious repute. After my forced resignation in 1992, Sime Darby went on to purchase dubious small businesses like Jiffy condoms, LAC refrigerators, Sandestin Golf Resorts in Florida to train Malaysians to serve in hotels (even though MARA had done this since 1966). All lost money. But the killer was when another dubious character offered to prop up the Singapore-KL Stock Exchange using the Sime Bank. This stupid action bankrupted Sime Darby for the first time in 1996 for RM 1.2 Billion. No one was charged. No one was jailed. The same set of Management now with a Board full of ennobled Directors carried on regardless and bankrupted Sime Darby again in 2010 for RM 2.1 Billion. Again no one was charged. No one went to jail. All at the Rakyat’s expense. These Sime Darby events drew the attention of interested parties who would do more when they came to POWER.

     The reason why I produced Sime Darby as a prime example of corrupti0n is the FACT THAT SIME DARBY BEING THE TOP CORPORATION SHOWED TO THE REST OF THE ELITE THAT CORRUPTION IN CORPORATE CIRCLES IS POSSIBLE WITHOUT PENALTY ! In other words, CRIME AND CORRUPTION DOES PAY !

     Hence, as soon as our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad retired, it was full bloom CORRUPTION in the GLCs all round. Then, this led to the ruling P0LITICAL LEADERSHIP WHO SAW WHAT THEY CAN DO ALSO IN MONETARY TERMS which were far bigger than those CORRUPTIONS IN SIME DARBY AND THE GLCs.

     And at the end of the day, we see the headlines today,’ MORE PEOPLE WILL BE CHARGED IN COURT.’

     Sorry to say, all began with Sime Darby in 1990 with the secret sale of its Nova Scotia estate to the ex-MCA leader without the approval of the Board of Consolidated Plantations. And how much did the executives get ? Probably not more than a few hundred thousands of ringgits, stupid.

     This little Sime Darby corruption of 1990 caused the ex-Prime Minister and his closest associates to be charged in Court. Man proposes. God disposes.

     We have the Rule of the Law in this country. There is no reason why there is NECESSITY TO TAKE REVENGE ON ANYONE. And in current events, nearly a whole Establishment of Government and their families and nearly 100% of the elites except for the 40 year old Christ’s (College) man were involved in a GRAND CORRUPTION AND EMBEZZLEMENT together with a fresh faced boy of no repute ! It’s ridiculous to say the least !

     And as for the 1.4 Million living in poverty in Singapore, this adds up Lee Kuan Yew’s Failed Policies of Fables and Foible of 48 in the list !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Life, political or otherwise, is like a game of snakes and ladders, Tun !

     It is remarkable how many mindless Chinese who used to be the Opposition support their perceived Honourable Ministers as those who can do no wrong so early in the political game. Here are what they support blindly arising from their remarks in the Facebook.

     1. Minister said that in future Malaysia’s rubber exports will boost our exports. My comment was that she was out of date. A chorus of support for the Minister.

     2. The same Minister said that tsunamis sonic buoys would be set-up throughout the country. My comment is that it is a waste of money and time which could be put to good use elsewhere. In my 101 years age, I experienced only one recent tsunami. Tokyo had the Kanto Earthquake in 1921. Look at the historical records for Malaysia. Another chorus of ill-mannered comments on my sincere comments. These Chinese are quite dull if I may say so.

     3. A Minister wanted to reduce the standards of entrance exams into universities for the rural folk. My comment was that instead of being iconoclastic why not up-lift the standards of the rural students by giving them special tuition, time and lodgings in urban areas like what the British and later Malaysians Governments did ? Instead of upsetting the entrance standards to the ire of the academics and undergraduates already in place ? There were some really funny comments.

     4. And a few more Ministerial remarks which were too frivolous to respond.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! I suppose we all learn on the job with DIY !

384. Tun

     How many Malaysians realize that our beloved Malaysia became one of the four most important small countries of the World without much effort but only through the efforts and thinking power of just one person, a brilliant and courageous Leader, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     And how many Malaysians realize that Lee Kuan Yew with all the bluster and hot air FAILED to bring Singapore to be something unique and special. At the end of his day, Singapore ended up with common garden legacies created by him which FAILED eg. i) FTs. ii) The Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP. iii) The 2 casinos. iv) Temasek.

     These were Lee Kuan Yew’s contrived legacies for his inheritors after the loss of the huge and profitable Dark Under-counter trades which were mentioned by me previously.

     The failures came up for two reasons :- First, the eternal obsession of Lee Kuan Yew to do down or capture Malaysia as a slave colony. This became a dangerous distraction as it is shown to be today. Second. His thirst for Singapore to be academically the First in the World a’la the Ivy League and Oxbridge. This thinking was out-dated in the rough and tumble World of dog eat dog in terms of everything. In other words, Lee Kuan Yew paid in spades at his citizens expense by being a COPY-CAT.

     In stark contrast our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad proved his originality in ideas for the visionary development of Malaysia during his 22 year administration. No one can call Tun a copy-cat because all his projects were carefully thought out and planned accordingly. These stood the test of time as it is well-heralded.

     In other words, Tun with his intellect and common sense which are naturally inherent in his brain through a good dose of good DNA performed and delivered the vital goods as any leading Prime Minister of any other country could do so. He has always been World Class. Each of Tun’s project was original and derived from his intellectually inherent ideas which originated in his brain.

     But with Lee Kuan Yew who took an entirely different stance by worshipping the lofty temples of Western academia like the Ivy League and Oxbridge, put himself into a mental strait-jacket of being a copy-cat of everything which was Western, lock stock and barrel.

     In other words, Lee Kuan Yew’s brains did not learn how to think even though he obtained high marks at Cambridge but entered a down hill slope after leaving the university’s portals. And for him, it was a life-long down hill slope all the way.

     On the other hand, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad learnt how to think thoroughly and consider all options before he decided what to do.

     Hence, some ordinary folk found him firm and decisive in his Policies which they labelled as dictatorial without considering their own lack of intellect in understanding persons with higher intellect than them.

     This trait of labelling others is common amongst Malaysians to hide their inferiority complex. This also show the common use of insults and abuses by Chinese yellow mangy dogs which bark YUP! YUP! YUP!, resident in this Blog !

     But the main thrust of my comment is to show WHAT A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY LEE KUAN YEW MISSED BY NOT INVESTING IN GOLD WHEN THE PRICE WAS US$ 300 per ounce ! At the material time, he invested in FTs, 2 casinos, Temasek and the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPIPP which all FAILED to deliver. And he lost billions of US Dollars unnecessarily.

     The FTs were like pushing the economy with a string which could not breach 3% GDP 2002 to 2017. Temaeek was ill conceived because GIC was superbly managed for 30 years. At a stroke of the pen, billions of Singapore dollars were invested in mismanaged UBS and other common garden entities. The 2 casinos only provided more overcrowding in the Region. The Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP was a dangerous gamble. It only worked if 100% of the Malaysians were stupid.

     The four aforementioned legacies for the inheritors were thought to be safe by Lee Kuan Yew which did not consider that SINGAPORE MUST HAVE SOMETHING VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH THE US AND THE EU !

     He forgot Singapore had nothing, not even water.

     Therefore, IT WAS ONLY NATURAL AND POWERFUL FOR SINGAPORE TO INVEST INTO 5,000 TONS OF GOLD AT US$ 300 per ounce despite the World Bank complaints. If Lee Kuan Yew could persuade Uncle Sam to do the Black Trades, hoarding Gold in Uncle Sam’s interest is no problem !

     Imagine Singapore having 5,000 tons of GOLD next to the United States with 7,000 tons, Germany 4,000 tons, France and Italy 3.000 tons, Russian and China 2,000 tons and India 1,000 tons. A real mover and shaker of the World.

     Furthermore, new industries in gold jewellery, banks, bonds, storage, refineries, exchange, etc would be created. A World Hub in Gold in Singapore which would then be worth guarding with a 300,000 strong military which is now only guarding peanuts.

     With Singapore’s skills in BLUFFOLOGY who knows whether Singapore’s Gold is in Singapore or not. Or whether it had really 5,000 tons more or less.

     All in all, 5,000 tons of GOLD in Singapore hands at US$ 300 per ounce would be worth more than US$ 2,000 per ounce NOW. Our beloved Malaysia would have become Singapore’s breakfast every morning. Instead of doing all the sneaky things to make our beloved Malaysia submit to the tiny red dot’s domination.

     Man proposes. God disposes. Fortunately, Lee Kuan Yew missed this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO DOMINATE MALAYSIA WITH GOLD. He was too smart by far and no one dared to suggest something RADICAL AND POLITICAL TO FIRST DOMINATE MALAYSIA AND THEN THE WORLD AND BE UP THERE WITH THE GREATS WHICH LEE KUAN YEW HANKERED FOR A LIFETIME!

     This Golden Opportunity in Gold for Lee Kuan Yew and Singapore to be really on top of Malaysia is NOW GONE FOREVER !

     At the end of the day, it seems our beloved Malaysia being Normal and Humble willy-nilly is now ONE OF FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, SWITZERLAND, JAPAN AND MALAYSIA. Thanks to the brilliance and courage of one person, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who only used his logic and common sense. IMPORTANTLY TUN KNEW HOW TO THINK.

     The Story of Lee Kuan Yew and his missed Golden Opportunity illustrates that IT IS NOT THE UNIVERSITY THAT MATTERS. IT IS THE ABILITY OF HOW TO THINK AFTER LEAVING THE UNIVESTIY PORTALS THAT MATTERS. Our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is the finest example of a person who knows how to THINK ! Hence, his long and successful career in MEDICINE AND POLITICS. Now with current events, there are so many examples of people who do not think !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

385. Tun

     My previous comment on the Crooked Bridge and Lee Kuan Yew succinctly revealed the root cause or motive of his Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP creation to save his LEGACY FOR HIS INHERITORS after leading all up the garden path from his life-long self created OBSESSION to do down Malaysia and other derring-dos like a huge military which perennially puts undue pressure on the social welfare services of a purported Socialist Government or State. The poor suffer through the high cost of everything.

     It is thought absorbing to note that Lee Kuan Yew placed great store and priority on the success of his Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP by his journey of last resort at the age of 85 in 2009 to the hot and humid Ulus under the pretext of saying farewell to old friends including your good self, Tun and had tea with the ex-First Lady of the land but not the Kingdom. As far as I know, his siblings and family members avoided visiting Malaysia since 1965 !

     His desperation arose by the realization of the first recession in Singapore at the turn of the 21st Century which underlined the writing on the proverbial wall for Singapore that Lee Kuan Yew’s real Miracle was over with the loss of the Black Trades to the BRICS through the 1990s. A significant movement was his daughter-in-law became the head of a speculative and ill-conceived outfit known as Temasek after a spell in the Chartered Industries which was in the armaments industry, due to a lack of business.

     It is important for all Malaysians to be aware what affected them in the past, and will do so at present and future. With full information and knowledge, then all Malaysians are as one in Unity, Loyalty and Thought. As it is now due to decades of brainwashing being wafted from the South with the assistance of the resources of the State, some Malaysians THINK THEY ARE SMART SINGAPOREANS. It is my duty to reveal all facts concerning the Sovereignty, National and Public Interest of our beloved Malaysia. No more. No less. Let the yellow mangy dogs bark YUP! YUP! YUP!

     I reckon the Third Generation of Malaysians from 1965 will stand in Unity, Loyalty and Thought being unaffected by brainwashing from the South.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Our beloved Malaysia will rise and rise with each passing day !

386. Tun

     It irks me to read comments about why the Crooked Bridge should not be built in recent weeks.

     I find these comments are like all of us agreed to take-off in a plane and once in the air, some wanted to turn back and land. The Crooked Bridge was approved and agreed to during your last tenure as Prime Minister. Its construction began accordingly.

     NOW ITS CONSTRUCTION IS NON-NEGOTIABLE IN THE NAME OF SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL AND PUBLIC INTEREST.

     What is the rationale for abandoning it by the BN Government which came into Power after your distinguished service in 2004 ?

     The same BN Government eagerly rushed to the International Court of Justice at the Hague to lose the Rocks of Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore in a jiffy when there was no action for over 50 years and after which, its elites published a book to humiliate our beloved Malaysia’s loss due to tango for two. What is so clever about this contrived maneuver ?

     Not only that, they opened the doors of the Khazanah to PAP cadres to pick at the low-hanging fruits which rightly belonged to us, Malaysians. Further to their cause with the full support of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, a hard-core PAP cadre of the same ilk was installed as the Chief Editor of the UMNO owned NSTP and to make him comfortable, he was given a lush Apache Sime Darby contract.

     From 2004, the 4th Floor Boys were the de facto Government until a stone felled on their chief think tank. Man proposes. God disposes.

     And much more Singapore connived theft of our Malaysia’s rights and assets were conducted in broad daylight with the best just taken out of the Khazanah without even a thank you very much ! That’s Lee Kuan Yew for you and me Tun !

     Why should Singapore objects to the modernisation of the old Causeway built at the turn of the 20th Century ? Because of Lee Kuan Yew’s objection the present Bridge on the Malaysian side had to be designed as such to modernise it.

     Now this objection came from Lee Kuan Yew who had already deliberately put up the EYE-JARRING DESIGN OF THE SINGAPORE CIQ COMPLEX PAINTED BLACK TO WARD OFF THE EVIL KARMA FROM JB AND MALAYSIA AS BELIEVED BY THIS SUPERSTITIOUS PERSON !

     His claim to fame had left him with 48 Failed Public Policies of Fables and Foibles. Yet, smelly yellow mangy dogs in this distinguished Blog still bark YUP! YUP! YUP! in his support of an ordinary fellow who made 48 horrible mistakes of Failed Public Policies at the expense not only of his own citizens but others like the Free Thais and Malaysians as well.

     Here is a selection of Lee Kuan Yew’s horrible mistakes out of 48 as an AUTHORITARIAN LEADER backed by the West during the Cold War 1948 to 1989 :-

     1. Lee Kuan Yew created the Anti-Cambridge Godless Neo-communist Political and Socio-economic System imposed on the citizens without their consent. This was supported by his Apparatchiks and the West. The only AUTHORITARIAN REGIME SUPPORTED BY THE WEST AFTER THE COLD WAR. Long ago, the System was called by the Western media, ‘authoritarian capitalism’ or ‘benevolent authoritarianism’ or ‘rich Cuba without the havanas but the bananas.’

     2. Lee Kuan Yew’s epic decision on the 2 Child Family Policy in 1972 was the ONLY ONE ever undertaken by a leader in this World. It was inhuman. Not even Hitler thought about it. Any one with scientific training would have abhorred this cruel Policy which ran counter to the all time classic of scientific thought as propounded by Charles Darwin in his ‘Survival of the Species’ in 1885 ! Lee Kuan Yew intended to create ‘geniuses’ like him and his wife. It is now proven he was no genius but self-narcissism and obsession promoted by the resources of the State of Singapore with his 48 mistakes. For over a decade, the 2 Child Policy brought untold sufferings, suicides, divorces, mental breakdowns, enforced sterilizations, emigrations, abortions etc which were enforced by official statutes like Income Tax to force the compliance of this cruel Policy. This thoughtless 2 Child Family Policy’s result can be seen to-day with 3.2 Million locals, 1.2 Million FTs and 800,000 PRs of which there are only 900,000 Chinese males aged 21 to 50 ! Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population. 2011. In a dynamic, competitive and tumultuous World, what can 900,000 Chinese do for Singapore’s future ?

     3. Lee Kuan Yew’s venture into the lush Black Trades during the Cold War 1948 to 1989 with Uncle Sam’s blessings, actually distracted him from true Nation building based on Democratic Precepts and Ideals. Not only that, his Life long obsession to do down Malaysia in every way or in more ways than one with his legal specialty of the fine print of dotting the ‘i’ and crossing the ‘t’ put paid to this weakness of his character which brooked no COMPASSION, TOLERANCE OR DISSENT which he believed to be weak traits but strangely in the field of human conduct, would have made him strong like our good Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad ! Those around him became YES men without any check of balance especially after the departure of Dr Goh Keng Swee and S. Rajaratnam, the PAP ideologue. His distinguished wife played a role too in this.

     And what were the BLACK TRADES OF SINGAPORE 1948 TO 1989 ? These were as follows :-

     i) Hard and soft arms. ii) Sanctions breaking – China, North Korea, Myanmar, Middle East, Africa etc. iii) Toadying up to Dictators. iv)Smuggling – Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines etc. v) Money laundering. vi) Collecting Vietnam War debris free. vii) US R & R. viii) US Military bunkering. ix) US Aid. x) Income Tax Evasion by overseas Singapore companies.

     THIS BLACK TRADE WAS THE REAL ‘LEE KUAN YEW MIRACLE’. NOT THOSE GLITTERING BUILDINGS, GLCs etc. which actually do not produce fantastic revenues like THE BLACK TRADES MENTIONED ABOVE !

     For a very small population of only 2 Million 1948 to 1989 and a honest Government, the huge profits were not only meaningful but thrust Singapore into the First World by the 1990s. Now without the black trades profit, Singapore is left dangling in mid-air.

     The flashy Singapore World of glittering buildings and roads, Changi Airport, reclamation, GLCs, Asian Dollar, etc were the result of advice given to Lee Kuan Yew by the Dutch UN economic expert Dr Albert Winsemius, Adviser to the Singapore Government 1962 to 1984. Human development was the preserve of Lee Kuan Yew who adroitly screwed his own citizens down from 100% in 1959 to 62% in 2010. Vide Singapore Government White Paper on Population 2011

     After the end of the Cold War 1948 to 1989, Uncle Sam expounded his hegemonic spiel which eventually re-bounded on him, ‘ Globalization. Free Trade. Human Rights.’ in 1990. Thereafter, the BRICS moved onto Singapore’s lush hard and soft arms trades which spelt the end of her fizzy 7% GDP. This dropped to 2% GDP by 2002 from which Singapore NEVER RECOVERED AND HER GDP COULD NOT BREACH 3% for 15 years, 2002 to 2017 ! THIS IS SINGAPORE’S DILEMMA TODAY ! Man proposes. God disposes. Never harm or injure others if a person wants to sleep well at night. LEE KUAN YEW HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS WITH THE ARMS TRADE.

     In 1978, I came across Singapore’s arms trade by accident. After turning round the biggest corporate bankruptcy Folex Industries Berhad in 1977, I was looking for an investor in the Company. I was introduced to David Hsu the owner of Diaward Industries Pte Lid which produced soft arms like tents, webbing, helmets etc for the military. He told me that his Libyan agent retired to Monte Carlo after 5 years ! He also mentioned that his business was very profitable because people fight all the time ! With the advent of the BRICS after 1990, he closed shop and produced security gates for shopping malls instead.

     4) Lee Kuan Yew paid over the hill (as was his custom when he wanted to reward tycoons or achieve what he wanted) for Thaksin’s business to prevent Thaksin from building the Isthmus of Kra Canal. This purchase split Free Thailand into two bitter factions for the very first time in Thai history to this day. Innocent Thai men, women and children were either killed or injured. This also brought on 2 military coups d’etat. Lee Kuan Yew again has blood on his hands ! His thinking on the Kra Canal is based on 19th Century thinking on harbours. He believed the Kra Canal could finish off Singapore’s harbour trade. He was wrong. Even if the construction of the Kra Canal is announced to-day, it does not mean that the it would be ready tomorrow. The construction takes at least 10 years if not more during which time Singapore being a perfect logistic centre in everything from finance to supplies to managerial manpower would have gained tremendously. But Lee Kuan Yew killed the goose that laid the golden egg for Singapore with his dog in the manger attitude. THIS SELFISH ATTITUDE CAUSED HIS CITIZENS TO BE UNEMPLOYED WITH NO INCOME FROM 2002 TO 2018 with no foreseeable solution in sight. During the construction, Singapore could have not only re-invented itself but also grasp the opportunity which came to hand in the form of the Canal. But 16 years have gone by without any productive or beneficial result to the Singaporeans. As an example, just look at the way the malls and retail houses in the United States are killed by the e-business of the Net. It’s the AIR not the SEA which will rule the next 100 years.

     With only 4 selected examples of Lee Kuan Yew’s 48 mistakes, the results of these mistakes so engendered are not only horrifying but cruel in all respects in the last hold-out of AUTHORITARIANISM AS SUPPORTED BY THE WEST IN DEMOCRATIC ASIA !

     Conclusively, to his mindless Malaysian supporters, the objection and non-cooperation by Lee Kuan Yew on the New Bridge WAS HIS HORRIBLE MISTAKE, ONE OF 48 MONUMENTAL ONES OF HIS FAILED PUBLIC POLICIES OF FABLES AND FOIBLES. YUP! YUP! YUP! so barked the residential yellow mangy dog of this distinguished Blog.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! As we Malaysians say ‘Where got not to build the Crooked Bridge, stupid ?

     When the New and Incorruptible Government took over from the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government on 10 May 2018, I thought that Penang would take proper steps in its developments of the island because of its unique position – firstly as a unique tourist spot and secondly as a catalyst for the development for itself and the Northern States as far South as Perak.

     I also thought given the opportunity with a friendly Central Government, Penang should have a review of its previous endeavours which got it no-where because of its tendencies to ape Singapore which one should consider as an entirely different kettle of fish altogether !

     Further, it seemed logical and practical to me that the State of Penang, Kedah and Perlis should get together to develop the Region socio-economically together because before the arrival of the British in 1779, Penang and Kedah were one. It does not make much socio-economic sense for these two States to do things on their own when they are part of each other, demographically and geographically.

     Instead of competing for the same industries etc, it pays for the 2 States to complement each other as regards all activities.

     My view is that Penang should be developed as the No 1 Resort Destination of the World. Instead of the half hearted and lukewarm activities undertaken towards this goal.

     And Kedah be encouraged to be a top industrial and eco-tourism centre of the North Region.

     A sort of Klang Valley of the North was envisaged.

     With this approach there are lots and lots of opportunities for all to fill in between these activities.

     I see with proper dove-tailing, monitoring, funding and planning, Penang and Kedah become powerful and effective as conjoined socio-economic States.

     There is no necessity whatsoever to dig, reclaim or chop and change the present pristine beauty of Penang Island. The emphasis should be on its mainland portion.

     And as for Kedah, this is the most important State with a huge socio-economic potential given the ideas and the inclination. All the ingredients are there for the taking and the making.

     Why even today there seems to be a measure of hesitation as regards Penang and Kedah, this I do not understand ? I have so many ideas for the development of these two valuable real estates without aping Singapore for now and the future rapidly and cheaply. Yet, things seem to be stuck in the mud somewhere and somehow.

     Let’s us hope tomorrow will be a better day for these 2 States. No more agonising haplessly over floods and landslides with unnecessary deaths and injuries to anyone or dream about the wonderful revenues accrued by Singapore which actually were derived from the arms trades of 1948 to 1990 and not from what we see today, its glittering buildings.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Penang, Kedah and Perlis are the States with tremendous potential with minimum cost if the right ideas are retrieved from the deep recesses of the brains.

     As to be expected, at the very mention of Lee Kuan Yew’s name, the Pavlov – trained mangy yellow dog barks again YUP ! YUP ! YUP !

     Horror of horrors this morning Tun !

     All the newspapers at PETRONAS and Shell were sold out in Malay, English, Chinese and Indian languages. A sign of the times Tun !

     What caused this sell-out of the papers ? Was it the great Penang land-slide or the great menu of CBT, money laundering and bribes as alleged by our ex-DPM.?

     All in all, I could see the look of incredulity in the face of some fellow citizens around me. Whatever was the cause of this silent uproar in the minds of the citizens, one thing which is uppermost in the minds of all must be the question. Who is next ? Man proposes. God disposes.

     There were so many times in my Life that I thought about how many of us could be the PM or the DPM or even a YB ?

     Positions which some hanker for throughout their lives. The privileged person in such an honourable position must surely presents himself in the most acceptable manner as were possible. And not have the mind-set of a jaga kereta who is just as honourable as anyone else, with all due respect !

     But our beloved Malaysia between 2004 to 2018 seemed to engendered a whole generation of elites with the minds of jagas kereta – money for services rendered in all forms and manner.

     How could such a dastardly mind-set happened in a supposedly mature and progressive Society like our beloved Malaysia independent since 1957. Her progress was as smooth as could be from 1957 to 2004 after which ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AS REGARDS SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST, PUBLIC INTEREST,SPIRITUAL VALUES, ETHICS, PROPRIETY, STANDARDS, INTEGRITY, HONOUR,ETC.

     This spelt the complete collapse of an established Government which was in existence for over 60 years. Fortunately, we have a responsible, courageous and brilliant Leader in the form of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad or else our Malaysian Goose would have been properly cooked by Singapore via the Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP and eaten up by China for breakfast.

     What had happened to our beloved Malaysia between 2004 to 2018 was astounding in historical terms !

     Man proposes. God disposes.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

390. When you put any tom, dick and harry to replace the name that mubarakchan hates so much, then, you will know whats in his mind.

     When journalist from straits time asked the late mr lee on what he wants to see singapore to be in 50 years from now, he answered immediately with ‘ by that time i am death’.

     If he had choice to choose again, i think he will not want to be the prime minister of singapore again because thats hard work, huge responsibility and lots of sacrifices needed to be made.

     The rest is history.

     It is interesting to note that as a trained scientist like you, I have noticed that whenever I present the through facts about how LEE KUAN YEW CHEATED TO GET INTO CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BY THE BACKDOOR WITHOUT THE REQUISITE OPEN ENTRANCE, THE REQUISITE LATIN OR GREEK AND WAS OVER-AGED BY 4 YEARS WHICH WAS FORBIDDEN BY THE RULES OF CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. ( He was also last in the important and professional Bar Finals exams London. His wife was placed 3rd out of 200 and later my wife was placed 7th out of 700 ), there is a Pavlov trained mangy dog, which barks YUP !YUP !YUP ! in this distinguished Blog !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

     This afternoon the screen of my computer exploded with the seismic force of a 9.0 earthquake with the multiple revelations of the malfeasances of the 2nd highest leader in the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government as charged in Court.

     THIS SI A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO STOP ONCE AND FOR ALL THE OPEN AND CRASS BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION OF THOSE IN POWER BY TAKING BACK ALL THE CORRUPT MONOPOLISTIC FRANCHISES ONCE THE COURT HAS RULED ON THEM AND RE-TENDER OPENLY.

     It is only proper in the name of good governance like Japan that the corrupted franchises be re-tendered openly on an even level playing field so that in the name of justice and fair play all entrepreneur are equal in the competitive World of business.

     As we can see now clearly that only those who are prepared to pay the big bucks not only gain access but acquire precious monopolies for prices FAR BELOW THE FAIR MARKET PRICE Because if an open tender had been undertaken by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, A FAR HIGHER PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN ACCRUED TO THE BN GOVERNMENT. But in this case, an individual was alleged to have pocketed the money in return for the granting of the monopolistic franchise – just for a few miserable bucks which reflect the pastoral minds of some !

     THIS IS THE REASON WHY ALL DEMOCRACIES DO NOT DO BUSINESS AND ALL PROJECTS ARE TENDERED OPENLY AND TRANSPARENTLY. No GLCs for them !

     The New and Incorruptible Government should take back all the corrupted franchises once the Court has ruled on the cases and re-tender openly.

     THIS IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTAIN CORRUPTION WHICH IS NOT TO BE MISSED TUN. Because in future, the bribers would have to think not only once but twice before BRIBING A MINISTER CHEAPLY FOR A MONOPOLY and lose all at the next GE. It is worth considering, Tun ! Maybe the recalcitrant companies are permitted to re-tender too which means MORE MONEY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OPENLY.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

393. Tun

     The more I think about the Crooked Bridge as labelled by Lee Kuan Yew the more I am convinced that this half built and abandoned New Bridge which was aborted by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government at great expense and at the behest of little Singapore SHOULD BE BUILT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

     NO NATION WORTH ITS SALT CAN LIE DOWN AND BE TREATED LIKE THIS. Like a eunuch !

     A tiny isle telling a Giant to give up the ghost AND BE MADE A LAUGHING STOCK AT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA’S EXPENSE. Like this we look stupid in the eyes of the World.

     NO SELF RESPECTING NATION IN THE WORLD WILL SUBMIT TO SUCH SELF-HUMILIATION IN CONNIVANCE WITH OUTSIDERS. It’s Treason.

     Where else but Malaysia ? And self-admit to the pandering of others that the bridge is wrong when in fact IT IS NOT WRONG BUT CORRECT ? Stupid on all counts.

     Where is the Sovereignty and the National Interest ? In this particular case, the Public Interest in the smooth use of the New Bridge.

     BESIDES, THE ABANDONED REMAINS OF THE HALF-CONSTRUCTED STRUCTURE CANNOT AND WILL NOT AND SHOULD NOT STAND AS A LAUGHING LEGACY OF TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. The Rakyat will not permit.

     It is disgraceful and thoughtless for any true Malaysian to be against a properly designed New Bridge for Public use and not for the use of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who understood the true meaning of SOVEREIGNTY, NATIONAL INTEREST AND PUBLIC INTEREST.

     The crooked design was forced upon Malaysia by Lee Kuan Yew’s intransigence !

     Yes Tun ! No one in the World with any sense and logic can LAUGH AT THE CROOKED BRIDGE LABELLED BY LEE KUAN YEW AS SUCH. Once its up, the Crooked Bridge becomes his 48th Mistake in his Failed Fables and Foibles of Public Policy INSTEAD OF TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD’S ! Who laughs last, laughs best ! No more. No less.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Your Way on the Crooked Bridge as labelled by Lee Kuan Yew is also my Way !

394. GDP of indonesia stands at >usd4,000

     GDP of india stands at >usd2,000

     Even china stands at >usd9,000.

     Data macam ini tak boleh tipu punya.

     The only think politicians can do is to pick which gdp they want to show off to sedapkan hati boss mereka masing2 saja.

     Buat jasa kepada negara mesti ada special title?

     Jika macam ini semua pengundi pun layak dapat special title, betul tak?

     Even the richest men and women do not want to be associated to these titles, entah kenapa mereka kena ada special title ini.

     Mereka tak takut orang bawah mereka pakai title ini to cheat ke?

     Dulu dah banyak kes macam ini berlaku, and by looking at the sifat local politicians, all they care is to get titles so easy to get grants minus hard, wise or smart works for self worth development kut.

     Yup, it is disappointing, and sad to realize after more than 60 years of merdeka, they still treat the public money like their family money.

395. Tun

     These few mornings were dull and desultory with hardly a whiff of wind in the firmament. But as I am always exceedingly happy and contented like you Tun, I had more on my plate which is the forthcoming weekend when I could snooze a few more hours than weekdays. Such is Life for all of us.

     Sometimes, I wonder why some people grabbed so much money which they have no time or attention to spend properly given their superficial intellect which forbids them from appreciating the finer things in Life which is not cheap diamond trinkets, yachts, jet planes, Manhattan condos and the like.

     If I had that sort of money, I would have purchased Harrods, or buy a stable of race horses and compete in all the important Gold Cup events in the World, from Melbourne to Ascot, or a Rembrandt or a famous hotel in Paris, or buy up the Rolex Group too instead of buying 10,000 Rolex watches and find difficulty in housing them or engage a British Royalty to be my PR person or but the most valuable Islamic artefact in the World or if I have a sweet tooth, Lindt would be on the top of my wish list or Burberry’s which makes expensive handbags as well and the list of high class houses of luxury goods is endless.

     But it is a great shame, Tun, that at the end of the day, those Malaysians with mountains of cash turned out to be quite ordinary and culturally illiterate by buying the run of the mill items or common garden stuff which they thought was high class.

     For example, in the early 1970s, I visited a Singaporean billionaire’s office. I found him and his relatives were pouring over packets and packets of yellow diamonds from a Jewish diamond dealer. My friend said, ‘ Buy some these are cheap.’ Yellow diamonds are the cheapest in the field. I smiled and asked him why he was stocking up on packets of cheap yellow diamonds. His nonchalant reply was that the yellow packets of diamonds were for the wives of Australian politicians in a place where he had business interests. It is a small World, Tun ! It is no fairy tale as one fake Chinese looking type with a fake pseudonym once remarked because the specimen was jealous.

     And what headline for you and me Tun ? Nothing much to talk about as the business of Government and governing get into its NORMAL strides.

     As usual when there are fresh faces, there will be fresh remarks of one kind or another. Remarks which are sometimes at cross-purposes with the main stream Leadership.

     This struck me as the neophytes seemed not to realize that they are no longer in the OPPOSITION. This trait can easily be detected in the hasty rush to speak via the media to state their case. And the following day, they retract what they spoke the previous day without blushing or regret.

     These neophytes are very fond of seeing their photos in the press as could be discerned. Maybe they should spend time to study how their Ministries work and how the office boy stick stamps on envelopes and tracing their organizational chart upwards to their lofty Ministerial heights at the beginning of their tenure before they lose control of everything like the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government.

     It was the free flow of comments on the Crooked Bridge and the Third Bridge which caught my eye.

     Sovereignty, National Interest and Public Interest govern the construction of the New Bridge. No more. No less. It was approved long ago.

     The Third Bridge does not merit any attention at all because it crosses shipping lanes which require expensive tunnels or lift bridges which hamper traffic. Besides, the Third Bridge is located in sparsely populated regions in both East Johor Baru and East Singapore. Economically, it is a NON-STARTER FOR THESE IMPORTANT REASONS. It is not even a moot point.

     You are correct Tun, the New Bridge serves a useful purpose for the general Public. And to counter the ghastly black of the Singapore CIQ Complex, the New Bridge should also be painted black to match its opposite counterpart ! It’s not tit-for-tat. It’s aesthetic design for harmonious purposes and reasons.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun ! Sovereignty and National Interest should be engraved in the hearts of all Malaysians especially those who lead us for NOW and the FUTURE.

396. If mubarakchan is still not happy with the syllabus of jenis kebangsaan, no worries.

     He can always send his children to study in international schools or overseas what since he thinks sekolah jenis kebangsaan is not up to his standard, atau selera.

     If he and his buffologists still stuck in this pariah, oops, sorry i mean cheap money sense mentality by complaining water, electricity, internet, healthcare and education that parked under welfare are not good enough though it is very affortable, then, he should move and live rural kampong area whereby everything is cheap and, percuma what.

     Whether tdm likes it or not, ktm, monorail and lrt would be merge under mrt to increase efficiency to bring down the operating cost so that the image of public transport is seen as well position and well planned at par with world standard, bukan macam masak sotong rojak mamak.

     Synergy effects always work, but when this effect is being exploited politically base on race and religion issue didendangkan parti2 politik contohnya ikat perut, yup, the complaint of habuk pun tak ada will become a reality.

     You are absolutely correct when you said that Malaysia does not need Singapore’s consent to build the ‘crooked bridge’.

     It is indeed surprising that some Malaysians are not aware of Sovereignty and National Interest. Maybe they are ignorant on the meaning of these words, Then, it is time to teach the young the true meaning of these words instead of wasting time talking about the colour of uniforms and shoes or bring down the entry standards of our established universities.

     It is so very important that we Malaysians understand these words Sovereignty and National Interest or else we are no country at all. Just a bunch of humanity so to speak. As I mentioned before Nations had fought to the death and refused to surrender when it came to Sovereignty and National Interest for thousands of years.

     Yet amongst us there are some who think our beloved Malaysia is doing something wrong by building a MODERN BRIDGE FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL. It was Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew who always took advantage of our beloved Malaysia to make a mickey out of us and laughed behind our backs.

     HOW MANY MALAYSIANS NOTICED THAT THE SINGAPORE WOODLANDS CIQ COMPLEX WAS SPECIALLY DESIGNED AND PAINTED BLACK FOR FENG SHUI PURPOSES AGAINST THE KARMA WIND FROM OPPOSITE MALAYSIA ?

     How many Malaysians noticed that this Singapore Government structure was deliberately designed and painted black to jar the Malaysian eye when looking at it from the JB side of the Causeway ?

     How many Malaysians know that Lee Kuan Yew was alleged to believe in feng shui to ward off the Devil and was rumoured to have a Buddhist priest in tow for instant consultations until the soothsayer died ?

     These might be little things to some brainwashed Chinese looking specimens with fake names and unspecified and dubious beliefs. But the reality is when the whole panoply of the actions and motives of Lee Kuan Yew are studied as a whole from the beginning to the end, the total added up to more than the sum of the whole.

     And yet, the dull types on this side of the Causeway still lap up the brainwashing propaganda or rubbish which kept on wafting to these shores from that tiny isle.

     THE LATEST IS THAT A TINY ONE STREET TOWN WITH ITS CITIZENS GEARED UP TO THE HILT CANNOT BEAT THE GREAT UNITED STATES IN COMPETITIVENESS !

     From its previous No 1 position, Singapore felled to No 2 behind the great United States, a true leader in World competition. In fact, Singapore should have been ruled out of many surveys because of its tiny size WHICH IS EASY TO DO THINGS. Only 3.2 Million indigenous Singaporeans.

     But the crux of all these shows how adroitly Lee Kuan Yew whilst he was alive use the apparatus of the State to project his apparently superb image into the soft and nubile minds of ignorant Malaysians. He never projected himself as getting into Cambridge University by cheating through the backdoor without taking the Open Examination, did not have the requisite Latin or Greek or was over aged by 4 years which was verboten as an entry requirement.

     OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD NEVER PROJECTED HIMSELF AS BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS AND PASSED HIS EXAMS AT THE FAMOUS KING EDWARD VII MEDICAL COLLEGE SINGAPORE WITH FLYING COLOURS. All graduates of this medical college were solid examples of what were the best in medical education. Many became famous surgeons and physicians by passing important exams in London. Lee Kuan Yew was last in the Bar Finals in London !

     By labelling the modern bridge which design was created because Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew refused to co-operate and called it SNEAKILY AS THE CROOKED BRIDGE FOR EASY BRAINWASHING PURPOSES, Lee Kuan Yew tried to use the court of Malaysian public opinion against the bridge.

     LEE KUAN YEW FORESAW THROUGH HIS SUPERSTITION THAT THE CROOKED BRIDGE IS A COUNTER TO HIS DEVILISH BLACK WOODLANDS CIQ COMPLEX. Once the Crooked Bridge is up, SINGAPORE WILL BE DOWN ACCORDING TO HIS SUPERSITITIOUS BELIEF..

     HENCE, THE FASTER THE CROOKED BRIDGE IS UP THE FASTER SINGAPORE GOES DOWN.

     Therefore logically, Singapore should have co-operated in re-building the Causeway with Malaysia. Lee Kuan Yew again made a mistake.- his 48th !

     BUT LO AND BEHOLD ! OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD CAME UP WITH THE BRILLIANT CROOKED BRIDGE IDEA WHICH COINCIDENTALLY AND BY ACCIDDENT COUNTERS THE BAD KARMA FOR MALAYSIA COMING FROM THE DEVILLISH BLACK WOODLANDS CIQ COMPLEX. For Singapore these days, all bad things come in a rush ! Man proposes. God disposes. The lesson for all of us is that NEVER HARM OR TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OTHERS IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT.

     For all the reasons in the World, and in the interests of the Rakyat, Sovereignty and National Interest, our beloved Malaysia cannot and will not and should not LEAVE THE CROOKED BRIDGE ABANDONED !

     The sooner the CROOKED BRIDGE IS UP THE BETTER FOR MALAYSIA’S DIGNITY, SELF-RESPECT AND SOVEREIGNTY !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun ! Sovereignty and National Interest should always be our watchwords ! The No.1 lesson in Civics for all school-children since some Malaysians are numb-skulls on this important subject !

398. Tun

     A dull and desultory morning without a whiff of wind at all. My fellow citizens are on the highways and byways again driving to the allotted places of work all over the capital and Selangor – the hub of a dynamic country, Malaysia. There were no headlines galore but the usual conjectures on which culprits would be charged next in Court for their crimes. The only headline of interest to me, thus :-

     ” LUKEWARM SUPPORT FOR THE CROOKED BRIDGE.”

     This headline is not at all surprising given the multitude of the expose of horror mega projects which the MOF could reduce one from
     RM 30 Billion to RM 15 Billion. In factor the contractors should be punished for connivance to cheat the Government. However, crooks are seldom punished in this country.

     And in comparison the Crooked Bridge turns out to be cheap for the simple reason that it facilitates the through passage of people through the Immigration Controls which now hamper the flow because of the lack of space and control booths. So much for the technical details. When the Crooked Bridge is built again, the following points should be considered :-

     1. The Crooked Bridge was approved and launched by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s Government.

     2. It is a Sovereign Project in the National Interest.

     3. The Crooked Bridge was the name given by Singapore.

     4. The Project was aborted with compensation by the subsequent BN Government after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s retirement in 2003.

     5. The Project was aborted by the subsequent BN Government which did the following :-

     i) The Crooked Bridge aborted at a great cost in compensation.

     ii) Malaysia rushed to dance the tango after there was no activity on the Pulau Batu Puteh for decades. And the Rocks were lost in a jiffy. A book was published by the Singaporeans to show how clever they were.

     iii) The 4th Floor Boys were the de facto Government.

     iv) A nobody could grab 1,000,000 barrels of oil from tight fisted Saddam Hussein and ended at the top of the UN Sanctions List which was circulated around the World.

     v) The famished Singaporeans rushed into the wide open doors of the Khazanah and rushed out again with the Avenue, etc at Singapore Big Sale prices.

     vi) A hard core PAP was the Boss Editor of the UMNO NSTP with a lush Apache Sime Darby contract on his lap to make him feel comfortable in the hot and humid Ulus.

     vii) European socialites were welcomed at the Yacht Races in Trengganu

     viii) NS camps were established to suck money out of the Treasury to build camps, make uniforms and boots, transport personal, cater food for all etc.

     ix) Big bucks were quietly retrieved from GLC palm sludge and factory wastes.

     x) There were some fancy moves at Danaharta.

     xi) Floundering MAS was not spared.

     xii) More Government skyscrapers were built in Kuala Lumpur central than in Putrajaya !

     xiii) GLCs were created from ex-Malay owned companies in the name of protecting Malay interests and making money for the Rakyat. A Communistic move which was only adopted by 3 authoritarian States, Singapore, Russia and China. Billions of ringgits were made by the few who were in control and with no ownership !

     xiv) Did the Rakyat benefit from all these BN activities ?

     xv) 2004. The beginning of the fun and games at the Rakyat’s expense which ended on 9 May 2018 when the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was kicked out.

     AND YET THE SINGAPORE LABELLED ‘ CROOKED BRIDGE ‘ TO BE BUILT TO FACILITATE TRAVEL BETWEEN JOHOR BARU AND SINGAPORE WAS ABORTED WITH A HUGE COMPENSATION IN 2004 ! Sovereignty and National Interest thrown out of the window by those who sworn in front of our Yang Di Pertuan Agong to safeguard them, Tun !

     First I agree that the Crooked Bridge should be built given the right timing and priority.

     Second, it was mentioned somewhere here in this distinguished Blog that Malaysia harasses and bully the tiny red dot. Nothing of the sort ever took place since Merdeka. In fact, it was the other way round !

     This is the BIGGEST LIE EVER AND ITS MISINFORMATION FROM SINGAPORE TO COVER HER LONG LIST OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MALAYSIA’S ASSETS FROM 1962 TO THE MALAYSIA KILLER TPPA/CPTPP- 2018. Vide My comments with factual lists in this distinguished Blog.

     Malaysia did nothing which harmed Singapore – 1957 to 2018 !

     Man proposes. God disposes. Despite all the assets which Singapore took from Malaysia, SINGAPORE IS NOW IN A DILEMMA CONCERNING HER FUTURE GROWTH ! Singapore’s GDP could not breach 3% 2002 to 2017 ! With inflation included, there was no GROWTH at all !

     Eventually in the name of Sovereignty, National Interest and Public Interest in the Causeway, the Crooked Bridge will have to be built sooner or later ! It’s cheap compared with the RH 50 Billion – RM 100 Billion BN Projects which are now under review !

     Malaysia Boleh ! Sovereignty and National Interest for our beloved Malaysia always, Tun !

399. Tun

     I love to talk about the subject of Sovereignty and National Interest. Two words which have been formalised in modern terms but actually thousands of wars were based on these two apparently innocuous words since the Jurassic Age.

     Men in skins fought over all sorts of material possessions. And we fast trek down the Ages right to the First World War which was fought by the European Powers over Sovereignty and National Interest. Otherwise, their citizens would not have died for the call to duty by their respective Governments.

     Yet, the First World War did not satisfy the lust for Sovereignty and National Interest through the use of naked and brutal military might. The fires of Nationalism burnt bright in Hitler and those who supported him. In fact the whole German Nation did throughout the Second World War. War films on this episode of German history showed the zeal and fervour the Germans sang their National Anthem even after the disastrous defeat at Stalingrad – the nationalism, the brainwashing by the State !

     After the defeat of Germany, the Allies tried to DE-NAZIFY the Germans. They found it could not be done as every single German was NAZIFIED through NATIONALISM.

     Sometimes I wish our Malaysians have a deeper view of World events past and present in order to understand the importance of Sovereignty and National Interest. Then only we all understand the magnitude of the abuse of Power during 2004 to 2018 by those who do not understand Sovereignty and National Interest. This is called TREASON in all countries of the World.

     Which countries are involved in the battle for Sovereignty and National Interest in the past 100 years ? To name a few and they all die for their countries Sovereignty and National Interest :-

     1. The First World War – 1914-1918
     2. The Spanish Civil War – 1937-1938
     3. The Second World War – 1939-1945
     4. Malaya’s Counter-Insurgency – 1948-1990
     5. India v Pakistan – Kashmir – 1949-2018
     6. Palestine – 1949-2018
     7. Korean War – 1953-1954
     8. Vietnam War – 1962-1975
     9 The Falkland War – 1984
     10. First Iraq War – 1990-1991
     11. Second Iraq War – 2001-2002
     12 Afghanistan War – 2003-2018
     13. Ukraine-Russia Tussle – 2013-2018
     14. South China Sea Conundrum – 2013-2018

     And more military tussles will come in the future in the name of Sovereignty and National Interest.

     From 2004 to 2018, our beloved Malaysia was wide open for ALL TO GRAB HER ASSETS WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST, THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO DO SO. It’s ahameful when a Government is ENGULFED IN ALL SORTS OF MALFEASANCES.

     And unfortunately, only 4 of Malaysia’s Prime Ministers understood the meaning of a Country, a Nation in relation to Sovereignty and National Interest due to their INTELLECT, FAMILY BACKGROUND, EDUCATION, EXPERIENCE, VISION AND COMMONSENSE.

     The first was the Tunku who could do the broad strokes to launch a New Nation. The second was the Great Statesman, Tun Abdul Razak, a brilliant thinker and implementer who could sort out the complexities of a young, immature and diverse Nation in crisis, to place it on a launching platform in the name of an even playing field for all. It worked to this day. The third was the solid and tough on the Rule of the Law, Tun Hussein Onn who prepared the pristine platform for our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to push the Nation forward through his dynamism, vision and common sense.

     At this juncture, I would like to point out the importance of COMMONSENSE WHICH IS LINKED TO A PERSON’S INTELLECT. A person can only be born with it. Common sense cannot be acquired !

     Also, it pays to be reminded that the 4 Great Prime Ministers could govern from the apex of the proverbial and virtual pyramid of Power by ensuring that goodies were always flowing down to us the proletariat at the bottom or base.

     BUT BETWEEN 2004 TO 2018, THE GOODIES WERE SEEN TO DEFY GRAVITY BY FLOWING UP TO THE APEX OF POWER LEAVING NOTHING TO FLOW DOWN THE DRY SLOPES OF THE POWER PYRAMID. All the Rakyat were frustrated and in silent anger, and at one go, voted en masse for CHANGE on 9 May 2018.

     IT IS APPARENT THAT A PERSON WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ATTRIBUTES OF THE 4 GREAT PRIME MINISTERS TO RULE OVER MALAYSIA AND HER RAKYAT, WILL BE A NON-STARTER AND A FAILURE.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Together, our beloved Malaysia will go places under your Leadership of the New and Incorruptible Government. IT IS BETTER LATE THAN NEVER ! As the saying goes,’ Our goose was nearly cooked ‘ by the Corrupt and the Uncaring BN Government which adherents still argue they had done the right thing. It is good we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR ALL OUR CITIZENS, TUN ! No problem !

400. Tun

     Good Morning to you ! A quiet morning with no drizzle of rain or a whiff of wind in the environment. People as usual are going to work dutifully as always as it has become a habit. Through the years here in this distinguished Blog I noticed there is a lack of awareness of the important presence of the words ‘SOVEREIGNTY’ and ‘ NATIONAL INTEREST.’ No one seems to be aware what these words mean to our DEMOCRACY, FREEDOM AND GOOD GOVERNANCE of our beloved Malaysia.

     The Chinese definitely do not care about SOVEREIGNTY and NATIONAL INTEREST.

     Maybe it is because of the communal stance of their Malaysian Politics which they could not move on to a higher plane of NATIONALIST POLITICS. Hence, the political motives of certain political leaders in the 1960s have made the Chinese pay the price of being manipulated by those who are wily but not smart.

     From 2004 to 2018, our beloved Malaysia really paid the price when the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and the elites fell for the weakness of the flesh and the soft under-belly due to all sorts of temptations coming from many directions.

     Little do they know that a country, like a family and ultimately like a person is always under threat if there is something to be taken advantaged by the outsiders. Hence, I kept on repeating the many instances of our beloved Malaysia taken for a ride by tiny Singapore using the same ancient tactics of old eg. wine, women and song.

     Where else but Malaysia ?

     In my life, I have never heard anything more absurd as recorded of a parasitical in political and money terms, of a tiny country eating off the largesse of another country many times bigger than itself. This is the most unique event in the history of the World !

     Flatteries like abang adek or 5 eyes or private retreats or very hot relationships and Presto ! All the treasures of beloved Malaysia are for the taking by this tiny isle.

     Of course, Tun, we were not born yesterday. But there are many who do not know whether they are coming or going but only focussed on material things. BUT THESE ARE IMPORTANT LEADERS OF THE LAND WITH DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE RAKYAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO RULE !

     HOW MANY MALAYSIANS ARE AWARE THAT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAS BEEN UNDER THE MICROSCOPE OF MANY COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD ? Our prominent personalities, their fables and foibles etc are recorded and studied and filed away for future use.

     Singapore was the first to record the behaviour, sexual peccadilloes, wealth etc of our present and possible important personalities. The ISEAS was specially established in 1972 where young and ambitious UMNO types were invited to speak at a forum and the following day, a glowing report on their performance would appear in the Straits Times. Vide. Straits Times Library. Some of them were involved in the TPPA/CPTPP and fortunately Man proposes. God disposes. The satrap failed.

     Nomura Institute Tokyo was established before INSEAS 1972. One of its function is to study the Chinese of South East Asia. To discover who are pro-Japaness or anti-Japanese. Before a young Japanese executive travels to these places, he spent time studying the Chinese inhabitants living in the country to which he was posted to. So cautious are the Japanese.

     These two instances of nationalistic approach in the interest of Singapore’s and Japan’s SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTERESTS stretch far beyond the shores of these countries. For a proper and normal Sovereign State, this is the way to go about it.

     Yet on 9 May 2018, our beloved Malaysia and her political leadership in the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government were not aware of Malaysia’s SOVEREIGNTY and NATIONAL INTEREST since 2004. A remarkable state of affairs on any count.

     If those had our SOVEREIGNTY and NATIONAL INTEREST IN MIND THE CROOKED BRIDGE WOULD NOT HAVD BEEN SCRAPPED WHEN THEY ASSUMED POWER IN 2004 !

     Therefore, the losses in terms of everything which Malaysia lost during 2004 to 2018 were IMMEASURABLE. A Report stated that One Trillion ringgits flowed out between 2003 to 2010. But it must be much more than this.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

401. Tun

     Again the CROOKED BRIDGE is far more viable, commercially attuned and Rakyat friendly than to spend RM 50 to 100 Billion building the HSR which runs 99% on Malaysian soil and ferries 99% of the high class passengers to Singapore and the Rakyat left out. One cannot be more stupid than this.

     Singapore spends pea-nuts on the HSR which her costs could be recovered via the lease,not sale of land around the HSR station. HSR IS FREE FOR SINGAPORE.

     The Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government undertook to acquire land and build the huge infra-structures in support of the HSR on Malaysian soil for billions of ringgits of BORROWED MONEY. What a stupid act !

     II IS TIME OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA REGAINS ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST WHICH WERE GIVEN AWAY BETWEEN 2004 TO 2018 !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Without our Sovereignty and National Interest we can never become a Nation !

402. Tun

     If the news that the CROOKED BRIDGE IS AGAIN ON THE TABLE, is not fake, I give this Project my full support in the interest of Sovereignty and National Interest.

     Also, outsiders must be taught a lesson that bribery and corruption applied on the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government must not be permitted to get away in broad daylight whether it is tango for two or the TPPA/CPTPP because these tantamount to TREASON !

     Our beloved Malaysia must have pride and be proud of ourselves and not sell ourselves ALL THE TIME TO OUTSIDERS AS SHOWN BY THE WEAK LEADERS.

     With your New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat have our dignity, pride and self-respect again.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Let the Crooked Bridge Project begins IMMEDIATELY for the benefit of the Rakyat !

403. Tun

     Sorry. An addition to my previous Comment as follows :-

     2004 to 2009.

     xii) Even the palm oil sludge and factory wastes amounting to millions of ringgits ended up in someone’s pocket to this day from 2003 to 2018 !

404. Tun

     For those who think I am long-winded, I beg them not to read my following chronology of horrible events after your retirement in October 2003. But as the brilliant lady lawyer from Singapore once told me that the news today will be forgotten tomorrow. So it pays to be repetitive on important matters which affect all our livelihood, Tun !

     1. 2004 -2009. i) A pukka upper class yachting event in Trengganu
     ii) Sime Darby sponsored 9 years of New Zealand Ocean
     Racing.
     iii) Khazanah was wide-opened for famished Singaporeans
     to feast on low hanging fruits one of which was
     called the Avenue..
     iv) The 4th Floor Boys were the de facto Government of
     the Day. Horror of all horrors.
     v) A nobody could grab 1,000,000 barrels of oil from
     tough Saddam Hussein and ended up at the top of the
     UN Sanctions List published around the World.
     vi) A hard-core PAP cadre became the Boss Editor of the
     UMNO owned NSTP with a lush Apache Sime Darby on
     his lap to ease the rigors of the hot and humid Ulus
     v) The Government RUSHED to dance the tango immediately
     after Tun’s retirement. As a result, our beloved
     Malaysia lost the Rocks of Pulau Batu Puteh. So easy
     vi) Most times the Government was travelling as though
     there would be no tomorrow. Jet lag types were seen
     snoozing in the Dewan Rakyat, not Dewan Rumah.
     vii) Even the floundering MAS was not left in peace.
     viii) What we know we know. What we don’t know we don’t
     know.
     ix) NS was cooked up for some to do some home cooking
     via camp catering, uniforms, transport, construction
     contracts etc at the expense of the young children
     even though the school teachers were doing an
     excellent job promoting peace and harmony.
     x) Companies once belonged to Malays were now called
     GLCs. Those between 2004 to 2006 made good, very
     good. The early bird catches the worm !
     xi) My Suit against the Trustees of my Father’s Estate
     taken out in 2002 was dealt as follows :-

     2003. The Judge ruled it was a Singapore Probate
     even though the Probate was emblazoned by
     the Supreme Court of Malaya 1949. He retired.
     2004-6 The next Judge sat on it for 3 years and was
     promoted to the highest Court in the Land.
     2006 The following lady Judge told me to settle
     with the Trustee who refused to show the
     books for over 10 years ! She did nothing
     2007 This lady Judge said the same as the previous
     2008 This lady judge said the Case was too wide
     and asked me to narrow it down within 7 days
     7 days later, she dismissed my case and
     said she was transferred to Shah Alam which
     she must have known 7 days before. Later she
     was promoted to the highest Court in the land
     2009 The Judge told the Defendant, he was ready
     for the Trial if he does not agree to a
     Consent Order. The Defendant admitted defeat
     after 8 years of delaying tactics using
     bribery and corruption via a famous British
     established legal firm which is only in name.
     xii) The Minister of (for) Tourism not only toured
     Southern Antipodes where sheep and kangaroos
     outnumber the inhabitants with her family but
     also using the Rakyat’s money to sponsor at
     great expense a Malaysian Orchid exhibit at
     the upper-class Royal Chelsea Flower Show
     London to promote tourism for London. Her
     Majesty the Queen awarded the exhibit with a
     Gold Medal which rightly belongs to the
     Rakyat, not to the Minister.

     2010-2018 i) 1MDB will not be mentioned because it is so famous.
     ii) This period is the GREATEST CHURNER OF MULTI-BILLION
     DEALS WHICH OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA HAS NEVER SEEN
     BEFORE.
     iii) My young son’s savings in a bank of RM 78 was
     requisitioned on the pretext of his IC not up-dated
     He had this savings account for 40 years. This shows
     the Government coffers were completely EMPTY.
     iv) Only fiefdoms gave out MONEY to the fiefs in ancient
     times.
     v) The lee Kuan Yew creation to save his Legacy,
     TPPA/CPTPP or Malaysia Killer was signed by/with
     those responsible completely in Lee Kuan Yew’s
     pocket. If the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government
     had won on 9 May 2018, Malaysia would have
     seamlessly become a Slave Colony of tiny Singapore
     which would control the BN Leadership through wiles
     and China provides the MONEY from the purchase of
     Malaysia’s land and assets. Malaysia properly caught
     between the Devil and the deep blue Sea or between a
     Rock and a hard place ! No Sovereignty and National
     Interest remembered at all !
     vi) The KTM with huge assets of 25 miles of rail-track
     and steel rails together with acres of land at
     Woodlands and Tanjong Pagar, ENDED AS HALF AN OFFICE
     BUILDING IN SINGAPORE. A sweetheart deal by any type
     of measurement !

     ALL THE ABOVE-MENTIONED EVENTS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 2004 IN THE HISTORY OF OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

405. Tun

     Your original and illuminating discourse on ‘FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY IN ASIA’ strikes a chord in those who love and serve their countries without fear or favour.

     A good indication of the state of the Leadership of the Government of a country is to observe how the Prime Minister smiles.

     I am happy to note that these days since 9 May 2018, you and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah are both smiling every day. This is good because purported scientific studies have pin-pointed that a person who is happy will have less ailments with a good prospect of living out a full life with longevity to boot. With this demeanour, our beloved Malaysia is assured of being led by a happy and smiling Prime Minister who has all problems under his control under the rule of Law and will not behave like a weak tyrant taking advantage of the Rakyat’s trust.

     THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE NEW FLOWERING OF OUR NEW MALAYSIA AND DEMOCRACY AS PRACTISED IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA AS WE USED TO KNOW IT UNTL 2004 WHEN A GROUP OF INTERLOPERS TOOK OVER and turned the country upside down.

     We cannot have Democracy when the Rule of the Law is disregarded and weakness of the flesh holds sway. THIS IS BACK TO THE LAWS OF THE JUNGLE.

     You rightly mentioned that we Asians are used to be ruled under Kings, Sultans and Monarchs. In other words, the political development concerning such rule when extrapolated in Western Democracy terms could be place somewhere in the 19th Century when Western countries were reverting to the practice of political governance via the House of Parliamentary style.

     It was fortunate that Malaysia began at the outset a Democracy with a Constitutional Monarch. And we ambled along NORMALLY under the Rule of Law as followed by you, Tun and your distinguished predecessors, the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn until after you retired in October 2003. The all hell broke lose in Western terms until 9 May 2018.

     With a beautiful hindsight, most commentators here except for those Chinese looking fakes with fake names, can pin-point to MONEY. But it is more to all this mess than MONEY which no single finger can elucidate the root cause of such absurd and gigantic political upheaval of an otherwise NORMAL, PEACEFUL AND HARMONIOUS NATION which was Malaysia. What are the purported factors then, Tun, we may ask ?

     MONEY, WOMEN, GOLF, TRAVEL, LOW IQ, LOSS OF SPIRITUAL VALUES, GAMBLING, DRINKING, PENT-UP DESIRES FOR 22 YEARS UNDER YOUR NORMAL ADMINISTRATION, PEER PRESSURE,LAZINESS, CORRUPTION BY ABSOLUTE POWER, ETC.

     The only answer to the frailty and broken promises of Humankind is that the disgraceful behaviour from 2004 to 2018 was the result of the SUM OF ALL THAT WHICH BECAME BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE.

     In the end, the whole mess went out of CONTROL AND THE 60 YEAR OLD BN GOVERNMENT WAS HAPLESS AND POWERLESS WITH ALL THE POWER AND MONEY AT THE HANDS OF THE LEADERSHIP.

     Something like the Fall of Rome or the Ching Dynasty.

     Fortunately, the conquerors are not vandals or the fallen Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government got raped as well like the Rape of the Sabine women of ancient Rome. Fortunately, the winners are civilised, do-gooders and with SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST IN THEIR MINDS TO SERVE THE RAKYAT WITHOUT FEAR FAVOUR OR TITLES !

     Finally, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat and Political Leadership under our brilliant and courageous Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad reached the attainable goal which was once thought to be unattainable – to do the impossible by kicking out the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government with its tyrannical ways.

     With the awareness of our SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTEREST WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND ESSENTIAL IN A DEMOCRACY, our beloved Malaysia and her Rakyat can now go places and upwards to the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan AS ONE OF THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT SMALL COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD BEING BRITAIN, SWITZERLAND, JAPAN AND MALAYSIA.

     The only WAY for us is Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s WAY WHICH IS UP AND UP TO RUB SHOULDERS WITH THE GREATS. And why did our beloved Malaysia come so far and succeeded IN WESTERN DEMOCRACY TERMS A’LA THE MOTHER OF ALL PARLIAMENTS STYLE ?

     We must NEVER forget the sacrifice, dedication and contribution to the cause of Western Democracy in our beloved Malaysia in the SEPARATION OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS IN THE COUNTRY BY THE TUNKU, TUN ABDUL RAZAK, TUN HUSSEING ONN, AND TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD DURING HIS 22 YEARS ADMINISTRATION. Their caring attitude which flowed from their sincere and honest hearts for the Rakyat. Finally, their FIRM RECOGNITION THAT MALAYSIA OBSERVED TO THE FULL OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND NATIONAL INTERESTS no matter what TEMPTATIONS WERE OFFERED BY THE DEVILS.

     And proudly I observe that only DEMOCRATIC INDIA AND OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA STOOD THE TEST OF TIME AS PRACTISING DEMOCRACIES SINCE OUR INDEPENDENCE OR MERDEKA in Asia. The rest are either to tiny or took the wrong steps at the beginning of their independence to re-establish a fair and just Democracy again without bloodshed.

     THIS IS THE STORY OF DEMOCRACY IN ASIA IN SUPPORT OF OUR BRILLIANT AND COURAGEOUS TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD’S DISCOURSE !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Keep smiling Tun and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah ! We Malaysians love to see you both smiling which means we are NORMAL IN PEACE AND HARMONY AGAIN !

     This Monday morning is one of the finest for this year. The Opening of the Parliament with the full complement of political leaders of the whole Malaysian spectrum.

     The day began rather cool but as usual I am exceedingly happy that our beloved Malaysia is fast settling down to a NORMAL and steadfast stance once again under your Leadership. What more does one want in our country but a good normal life, a job, a family, children, a house and a car in peace and harmony. All under a fair and just Government of the old and the young, the good and the great. The horrors of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government are slowly being unfold. This morning only one headline struck my eye, thus

     1. NST. ‘ Syed Saddiq. ONE IN 10 YOUTHS THOUGHT ABOUT SUICIDE.’

     The Youths are the flower of our Nation. The future Leaders and Makers of the Land without which nothing will grow and progress.

     It is incumbent on all Governments to nurture the Youths as we ourselves have been nurtured by our forebears – a responsibility which is inherent in all of us Humankind. We pass this Torch of responsibility and duty from generation to generation without prompting.

     But the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government had FAILED not only the Youths but all the Rakyat as well by their gross abuse and theft of the wealth of our beloved country.

     We were given NOTHING AND NOW LEFT WITH NOTHING.

     For example, essential laws like the Trustees Act 1949, Company’s Act 1965,and the Bankruptcy Act 1967 were never really revised and brought up-to-date. The Minister of Law, 3 of them did nothing to revise and bring these 3 essential Acts up-to-date as befits a progressive and modern Nation like Malaysia.

     It was alleged the last BN Minister was famous for proposing to turn the RRI Station at Welwyn Garden City, UK into a sports complex at a cost of RM 350 Million to train Malaysian athletes to World standards by flying them to and fro 7,000 miles.

     The same Minister misled nearly 300,000 young bankrupts the majority of them Malays BY NOT REVISING THE BANKRUPTCY ACT BUT ONLY ATTACHED AN AMENDMENT TO IT. IT WAS ALLEGED THIS WAS DONE BECAUSE OF PRESSURE FROM FINANCIAL INTERESTS WHICH DARE NOT DO THIS IN SINGAPORE, HONG KONG, BRITAIN AND AUSTRALIA. A weak, a very weak BN Government. Vide. The Star ‘BANKRUPTCY LAW OUTDATED ‘ Page 25. 25 June 2018.

     And the Trustees Act 1949 had never been revised since 1949. This is an important and essential Act for commerce, middle class families, bankers, lawyers, share-brokers, entrepreneurs. Singapore, Hong Kong, Britain and Australia revised the Trustees Act up to the very minute as it is of such great importance. Malaysia had 3 Ministers of Law in the BN Government. They did nothing 2004-2018 – 14 years,

     With the 300,000 young bankrupts, majority Malays, who were neglected and misled by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and the 550,000 mentally disturbed Youths as mentioned by YB Syed Sadduq, our beloved Malaysia has a duty and responsibility to these Youths that they are protected, safeguarded and given a second chance in Life.

     With the shameful pursuit of money by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, all care and consideration to help and benefit our Youths were forgotten. The figures which I presented are the results of such a callous BN Government. It is not only Money Money Money which counts but also OUR HUMAN EQUATION OF JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS FOR ALL IS MORE IMPORTANT.

     The 300,000 young bankrupts, majority Malays and the 550,000 mentally ill youths should not be down-trodden by the powerful and in good health. But the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government was a non-starter from 2004 to 2018

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

407. Tun

     Another quiet Sunday morning in Kuala Lumpur where some parts had a bit of drizzle of rain in the early morning. After DSAI victory in PD, all is quiet and relaxed again. And as for those noteworthy, trustworthy and newsworthy headlines, I had to look high and low to find a couple, thus :-

     1. ‘ DON’T NEED A SNIPER TO KILL ME , LIM QUIPS ON SCRAPPED PLAN TO BULLET-PROOF MOF FOR RM 7 MILLION.’

     2. ‘ PREVIOUS GOVT USED UP 11.4 BN JAN TO APRIL.’

     It is indeed astonishing that the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government went to such great lengths to protect those officials in the MOF which Ministry is the most unlikely to be attacked. Not only that the very idea to spend and waste RM 7 Million instead of spending it on social welfare is most uncaring.

     And I do not think the cost is anything like RM 7 Million. If it is the real armour glass, it costs much more than RM 7 Million ! The offered product cost not more than RM 4 Million. A low ranking official must have thought about this and put himself on the line for some baksheesh too.

     As one UMNO Division chief once told me when I tried to make an appointment for my friend to meet a Minister, why he wanted RM 500,000 for the task with no guarantee of success. He blandly replied that he could see the top was making a lot of money and they would not look after him at the end of the day. Therefore, he has to look after himself now as he munched a club sandwich in a 6-Star hotel. His foresight proved to be correct. But he did not get his absurd request.

     Then, there was this brilliant Muslim Indian boy who returned from London and worked in one of the Government’s hi-tech outfits. His Boss requested him to do the Budget which he estimated to be about RM 5 Million. His Boss instructed him to increase it to RM 10 Million. He was very upset and complained to his father who advised him wisely to do as he was told. Thereafter, the brilliant young man returned to London. Corruption was everywhere under the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government. 2004 to 2018..

     And the FM stated that the BN Government used up RM 11.4 Billion January to April 2018.

     If this is the case and after investigation that money has been spent outside of the Budget without authorization, there is a case for prosecution regarding theft and criminal breach of trust. The whole Government was responsible for this blatant act.

     No one should be exempted because this sort of behaviour is utter disregard of the Rule of Law and Proper Governance by those who were elected by the Rakyat AND THEY SWORE BEFORE THE YANG DI PERTUAN AGONG ON THEIR APPOINTMENT. The Rakyat interests must be safe-guarded and protected in a just and fair manner from abuse and malfeasance committed by those in Power.

     If within a few months so much illegal activities were undertaken by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, one cannot imagine how much theft, damage and abuse of the System took place between 2003 to 2018. It was reported that ONE TRILLION RINGGITS FLOWED OUT BETWEEN 2003 TO 2010. Even a minor Government official could amass RM 2 Billion WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

408. Roti canai ke atau capati, mereka tetap indian food.

     Yup, they thought by creating a perfect storm down south, political parties will move up north kut with snap of finger.

     Yup, we are pendatang to them no matter how hard we work, and we could be targeted as the duri dalam daging with their oops lalang, oops cantas.

     The states’ sultan also not worry, who are we the pendatang to worry?

     Therefore dont waste time and effort in hoping that they will accept and respect us as part of malaysia.

     Jika negara ini jadi republican of bangladesh is ok with sibotak and the likes, by all means go ahead.

     But you cannot stop others from being racist when comes to state rights.

     Jika mahu copy, you cannot just copy paste 100% and claim the content is yours, dont you think so?

409. Tun

     I have been quiet the past two mornings due to the lack of newsworthy, noteworthy and trustworthy headlines since you departed for Bali.

     The headlines were no headlines at all but conjured up as headlines purported to be uttered by some incorrigible liars in our political spectrum. However, as I skimmed over the papers again to get my money’s worth, the following struck my eye, thus :-

     1. ‘ THE HARAPAN MANIFESTO IS WORTHLESS ‘

     2. ‘ GUAN ENG CLAIMS BN GOVT BLEW BILLIONS MONTHLY IN RUN-UP TO GE 14.’

     3. ‘ TOLL FREE TOLLS NOT POSSIBLE.’

     4. ‘ WE MUST NOT SCORE OUR OWN GOAL’.

     As a long-time bystander on Malaysian Politics, what the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government did in its last gasps in Power was not only unforgivable but treasonous to say the least from 2004 to 2018.

     The wanton disregard for our Sovereignty and the National Interest both of which seemed not only have been forgotten but also thrown out of the window. Those in Power treated the Power as Absolute in belonging to them.

     The Rakyat’s money held in trust in the coffers were for the taking by them and their cronies, even those from the famished State of Singapore who came rushing to the hot and humid Ulus looking for low hanging fruits which they found plenty. From the open vaults of the Khazanah along the Avenue to the 4th Floor Boys down to that hard-core PAP cadre with a lush Apache Sime Darby contract on his lap as he sat as the Boss Editor of the UMNO owned NSTP and on to the ordinary fellow who could grab 1,000,000,000 barrels of oil from the tough Saddam Hussein with Malaysia ending up in a tango for two which resulted in losing the White Rocks of Pulau Batu Puteh. This is what we know which the Rakyat does not know or will never be known until there are further revelations of malfeasances by the highest circles of the Land during that horrible Dark Era 2004 to 2018.

     If not for the stupid fat boy bungles, all the dirt would never be known because the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government would still be in Power after 9 May 2018 with our beloved Malaysia smoothly enslaved as the SLAVE COLONY OF TINY SINGAPORE VIA THE TPPA/CTPP. Man proposes. God disposes !

     There is an ancient saying,’ IT IS LIKE A SNAKE TRYING TO SWALLOW AN ELEPHANT.’

     Like all Manifestos the PH Manifesto was based on the available facts and information as released the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government whilst they were in Power which was in their hands from 2004 to 2018.

     What is the complaint when the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government could not maintain Power even by throwing billions and billions of ringgits as alleged by the FM ?

     This is a good pointer to investigate all the criminal breaches of trust committed by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government and bring all the culprits to be charged in the Court.

     Or else our beloved Malaysia will never be able to expunge this shameful episode from our records. And the crooks get away scot-free as usual ?

     If the FM had stated that our beloved Malaysia had run up a debt of ONE TRILLION RINGGITS by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, where is the money to fund the TOLL FREE TOLLS and the rest of the promises as engendered in the PH Manifesto which promises ARE ENTIRELY BASED ON THE MONEY AVAILABLE AS ASSUMED TO BE LEFT BY THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT ON ITS DEPARTURE ?.

     But sadly, NO MONEY WAS LEFT BY THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT as its secrets were revealed after 9 May 2018.

     For the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government to keep on harping on the non-performance by the PH on its Manifesto is just like putting the cart before the horse. WHERE IS THE MONEY BN GOVERNMENT AS THE FM HAS ALLEGED IT WAS ALL SPENT BEFORE GE 14?

     I for one did not get any money. Nor anyone whom I know got any either. Where has the money gone, BN Government ?

     THE WHOLE OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LOSS OR CRIMINAL BREACH OF TRUST FOR THE MISSING MONEY IF SPENT OUTSDIE OF ANY GOVERNMENT BUDGET WHICH GOVERNS THE LEGALITY OF ALL EXPENDITURES – Because money was spent WITHOUT PROPER AUTHORIZATION. This is NORMAL GOVERNANCE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. Thieves go to jail.

     IT IS HIGH TIME THAT THOSE IN CONTROL OF MONEY DURING THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT REGIME 2004 TO 2018 THAT ALL MONIES MUST BE ACCOUNTED FOR VIA THE BUDGETS, IF NOT IT IS CRIMINAL BREACH OF TRUST AND THEFT.

     To those in the know, do not think anyone is safe from prosecution because all are open to prosecution now and any time in the future.

     THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY MUST SHOW ITS PROBITY, ETHICS, STANDARDS, PROPRIETY AND THE RULE OF THE LAWS IF IT SEEKS TO BE RESPECTED BY THE RAKYAT AND THE WORLD.

     A little kitten or Mickey Mouse attitude to CRASS, BRAZEN AND OUTRIGHT THEFTS BY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AT ANY LEVEL, HIGH OR LOW CAN NEVER BE TOLERATED because they are suppose to be the ROLE MODELS OF GOOD BEHAVIOUR, HONESTY, SERVICE, SECURITY AND LEADERS OF A COUNTRY.

     And in our beloved Malaysia, these high and mighty folks are alleged to steal the Rakyat’s money by the Billions of ringgits for years and years, 2004 to 2018 ! What a shame ! It was reported ONE TRILLION RINGGITS flowed out of the country between 2003 to 2010 before 1MDB !

     When this gigantic sum of money flowed out and our Ringgit depreciated, IT IS TANTAMOUNT TO THESE CROOKS ROBBING THE WHOLE POPULATION TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AT THE RAKYAT’S EXPENSE WHICH HAPPENED DAILY 2004 to 2018 ! – Because the cost of living and daily essentials went up and up 2004 to 2018 ! It is as simple as this. A blatant misuse of Power giving rise to TREASON !

     Hence, it is appropriate that our good and beloved Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad warningly said, ‘WE MUST NOT SCORE OUR OWN GOALS.’

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! We Malaysians should not be so stupid as to score our own goals because to-day’s World is a very small World. Secrets are very difficult to hide as we can see from recent events.

410. Even Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Indian activist, who lead indian independence against british rule, and became the president of indian national congress with history of 132 years, and today it has became a very small political party in india.

     His death is said to be assasination on jan 30, 1948 in new delhi, india.

     I guess i can imagine when the movement of indian independence against british rule in its peak, it must have ruined the family wealty of many indian elites connected to british businesses.

     The rest is history.

     To repeat such horrendous movement?

     Yup wealth does not pass through 3 generation, and what comes around will go around.

     God bless!

     We who live in the centre of Malaysia have a responsibility and duty to the rest of the country.

     For example, here in the capital, we have quiet, equable and fine mornings, most mornings of the year. But sometimes, unfortunate weather hits the peripheral parts of our sprawling country in unexpected ways, like the under-expected storms and flooding in the North and other places. This is where our centre must be strong and steadfast to bear the vicissitudes of our unfortunate fellow citizens with help and succour. This is a duty which all Malaysians are obliged to help and assist.

     Even though, we cruise safely to work or deliver our children to schools in a calm and windless morning, I reflected on the fortunate streams of school-children trooping quietly and orderly towards their class-rooms every morning.

     I also reflected that racism never appeared in the minds of the young until either their parents or peer pressure put this evil thought in them.

     I believe I was saved from this influence due to certain unexpected circumstances which affected my teenage years and escaped from being influenced by my parents or peers on racism. Hence to this day, every person looks the same to me. Besides, my profession forbids such extraneous thoughts or else I become ineffective and cannot deliver.

     Such are the factors which affect any person’s Life with its ups and downs. I always believe in avoiding problems and move on. But there are some who would take up the cudgels and challenge the wind. This is well-illustrated by the ONE AND ONLY HEADLINE WHICH CAUGHT MY EYE THIS MORNING, thus :-

     1. Malay Mail. ‘ STORM OVER MRT2. ‘ I did not see any storm anywhere except in Florida, USA which is now threaten by the Hurricane Michael.

     2. Financial Daily. ‘ IS RM 2B a bridge too far ?’ This does not say anything really.

     For those who are in the know, these headlines refer to the same subject matter being the cancellation of the underground work project which was once signed by the BN Government with the contractors in question. This is the basis of the contractors furore.

     But to add to the above scanty information which seemed to catch the eye and explained nothing, it struck me that IT IS ODD FOR A PRIVATE ENTITY TO CHALLENGE THE WISDOM OF THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT ON THE ONE HAND AND TRY TO MAKE A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT TO BEND TO ITS WISHES WHICH HAVE NO SUBSTANCE, ON THE OTHER.

     To quote the famous words of our distinguished Bank Negara Malaysia Governor Tun Ismail Mohd. Ali who was famous for his integrity and ethics, ” IT STINKS.”

     For the now disconnected Group making just a big fuss, this not only draw the attention of the World onto their purported plight but also raised MANY QUESTIONS AS TO WHY THEY MADE SUCH A BIG FUSS NOT ABOUT THEIR IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL MATERIAL LOSS BUT THE LOSS ONLY CONCERNING THEIR PURPORTED 20,000 EMPLOYEES.

     These folks even raised certain ominous questions to FRIGHTEN THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT AS LED BY TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD AND HIS TEAM by citing possible legal suits all round.

     I like to remind all and sundry that Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his Team were not born yesterday. They already know the hidden reasons behind the FAKE STORM IN THE MEDIA RAISED BY THE INEXPERIENCED RECALCITRANTS. I can guess why. Malaysia is a small in the World of Construction and Engineering. OK ?

     As far as we know about engineering and construction, 1 + 1 must be 2 ! The professional answer. No engineer passes his or her exams by giving 1 + 1 = 4. Which is the ‘open book approach’ as proposed. It’s that simple.

     HOWEVER, THE INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS ENGAGED BY THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT HAS REPORTED THAT THERE WAS RM 4.19 Billion which could be saved from the Contract. But the contractors still insist ON ‘OPEN BOOK APPROACH’. This is an impossible approach which is NON-PROFESSIONAL AND CASTS A CLOUD OVER THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT IF ACCEPTED.

     Either the suggestion was made without thought or IT IS A TRAP TO CATCH THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT WITH ITS PANTS DOWN SO EARLY IN ITS ADMINISTRATION OR THERE IS A BIG HOLE SOMEWHERE IN THE KINGDOM WHICH NEEDS TO BE FILLED SOMEHOW, SOMETIME ! In our beloved Malaysia, nothing is unexpected. But our Prime Minister and his Team knows BEST to deal with this OPEN DEMAND VIA THE MRDIA FOR BILLIONS OF RINGGITS OF THE RAKYAT’S HARD-EARNED MONEY !

     Wow ! The Consultants worked out for this portion of the rail-works,that there is AN OVER-CHARGE OF RM 4.19 BILLIONS. The Contractors are willing to let go of a huge RM 2 BILLIONS ! TO WHERE WILL THE RM 2.19 BILLION GO or gone if there is no hiccups ? Strange to say this is my RM 64,000 question.

     And by how much did the completed portion was over-charged to the BN Government ?

     An ancient saying, ‘ A big tree catches the wind.’

     In my career I have done most legal and big businesses in Malaysia. But I never wanted to do property development and construction because of its anti-social quirks which I rather kept away. No headaches like this.

     I give YB TONY PUA, POLITICAL SECRETARY TO THE MINISTER OF FINANCE FULL SUPPORT AND FULL MARKS FOR EXPLAINING LOGICALLY AND CLEARLY WHY THE GOVERNMENT TOOK A STAND ON THIS ISSUE. If it does not, no one will respect it anymore.

     THEREFORE FOR THE NEW AND INCORRUPTIBLE GOVERNMENT NOT TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF ITS OWN INDEPENDENT CONSULTANTS AND BEND DOWN TO THE ‘OPEN BOOK APPRACH’ PROPOSED BY THE CONTRACTORS STINKS OF SOMETHING FISHY WHICH WILL ENSNARL THE PH GOVERNMENT FOR THE REST OF ITS TENURE. And also in engineering 1 + 1 = 2, NOT 4. Hence in Engineering, the phrase ‘ OPEN BOOK APPROACH ‘ or ‘ TRADE SECRETS ‘ is UNPROFEESIONAL AND DOES NOT STAND TO SCRUTINY IN ANY COURT.

     As we Malaysians say.’ Where got trade secrets in Engineering ?’

     Kudos again to YB Tony Pua for stating the OBVIOUS IN HIS LETTER AS PUBLISHED IN THE FINANCIAL DAILY TODAY.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! The suggested ‘Open Book Approach’ is a TRAP because the independent consultants have already stated that there is a RM 4.19 BILLION extra cost which could be REMOVED ! Even one Ringgit payment is CORRUPTION as the World sees this today !

412. Assalamualaikum Tun,

     In the light of the new national car project, I would recommend that it should be an electric or hybrid car.

     1. The purpose of having a car in Malaysia is no more about going from one place to another, nevertheless it is a personalised means of transport.

     2. In the near or not so near future, people will still want their own set of transportation. Thus the demand still there. But somehow the technology need to be updated quickly.

     3. It is also important for us to acknowledge the depleting source of oil and the climate change challenges ahead.

     4. Thus I recommend;
     a. A target for the country to achieve at-least 50% of the cars on road are hybrid or full electric (or sustainable energy) as we are going for the SDG.
     b. 3rd Malaysian/Asian car must be clean and intelligent car.
     c. To spur industry of retrofitting old good car with electric engine. This should reduce the numbers of going to be scrapped cars and itself is a new industry no one endeavour in mass scale before.

     Thanks Tun.

     Best regards,
     fbm

413. Tun

     It is a good feeling for me when I am in your distinguished Blog. The feeling of amongst good friends who are not FAKES with bad brains hiding cowardly behind FAKE NAMES like those who only look like Chinese !

     Every morning I am as happy as Punch as the saying goes after successfully ferried my grand-daughter to her Sekolah Kebangsaan. I have always supported and put my children to the Sekolah Kebangsaan unlike some who found that their children could not take the Vernacular Schools and had to transfer them mid-way to the Sekolah Kebangsaan. What happened to those who could not and had to stay behind in the Vernacular Schools. Or just to learn Mandarin or be good at Maths ? I found anyone can speak any language given the time and the inclination. No big deal. And as for Msths., this is no problem either given the same motives. It is all in the genes or a child is a slow developer. At the end of the day, we should by on an even playing field by age 21 !
     After digressing on my happy thoughts, suddenly a gush of headlines poured forth from the venerable Malay Mail. Headlines which are trustworthy, noteworthy and newsworthy to make them interesting, thus :-

     The Malay Mail.

     1. ‘ NEW TAXES TO PAY DEBTS ‘ The Mother of all Headlines this wonderful morning. We pays and pays for the corruption by crooks in HIGH PLACES !

     2. ‘ LIM; GOVT NOT MEANT TO BE IN BUSINESS.’ The very first positive and sound statement. Kudos to Mr Lim.

     Ah Mr Lim has finally struck the right note! The NUB or CRUX or EXCUSE OF THE CORRUPT AND UNCARING BN GOVERNMENT WHICH USED THE GLCs AS A SLOGAN TO PROTECT MALAY INTERESTS AND MAKE MONEY FOR THE RAKYAT.

     In reality, the GLCs were used to make money for those who own no shares or they are not Civil Servants by playing 19 hole golf in Perth, Yunnan, Bangkok etc, casinos, sky-high salaries, expensive cars and restaurants, First Class travel, Board Meetings in London, overseas schools for the kids, palm oil sludge, factory wastes, fake Boteros & Picassos etc.

     This orgy at the Rakyat’s expense WENT ON FOR 14 YEARS 2004 TO 2018 ! It was utterly MAD and CRAZY !

     If not for the stupid fat boy bungle, no one would have realised the HUGE QUIET RAPE OF THE RAKYAT’S MONEY VIA THE GOVERNMENT’S COFFERS – worse than the Rape of the Sabine women of ancient Rome – because we all trusted Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his distinguished predecessors, the Tunku, Tun Abdul Razak and Tun Hussein Onn from 1957 to 2003.

     Little did we realise their successors had NO INTEREST IN THE WELFARE AND CARE OF THE RAKYAT AT HEART ! Fortunately, after the DARK ERA 2004 TO 2018, we have a NEW DAWN NOW AWAKENING !

     A Democratic Government has no business to do business in the Private Sector, none whatsoever. A Democratic Government is to rule and serve the Rakyat by putting up the right infrastructures etc for them to earn a living and make money for the Government to tax which money is used for the Rakyat’s benefits social welfare, infrastructures etc.

     People in high places should not COLLECT 10,000 ROLEX etc or CASH.

     The GLCs were a creation of Lee Kuan Yew by accident and born out of necessity for Singapore’s survival.

     It happened this way. After the 1966 Separation, Dr Albert Winsemius the Dutch UN Economics expert employed by the Singapore Government since 1962, advised the establishment of the Jurong Industrial Park, reclamation etc. At first, the Singapore Government encouraged the traders to become industrialists by founding Starlite Ceramics, Fair Lady Hair Wigs, Eupoc, Far East Levingston, Singapore Textiles (HK), Diaward Industries (HK), Regent Hair Wigs etc. All employed Malay employees. Most failed because of branding problems and Singapore’s tiny market. With a crisis on his hands, Lee Kuan Yew turned to monopolistic government owned activities like SIA, Asian Dollar, DBS, Keppel, Sembawang, NOL, Chartered, UIC, Intraco etc to keep Singapore’s employment rate and revenues afloat.

     He coined GLCs for these profitable Government linked corporations in the 1980s.

     BUT THE REALITY WAS THAT THE WHOLE SATRAP WAS HELD UP BY THE HUGE REVENUE GENERATED BY THE UNDER-COUNTER BLACK TRADES IN ARMS (hard & soft) TRADING, SMUGGLING, SANCTIONS BREAKING ( China, Myanmar, N, Kores, Libya, Iran), TOADYING UP TO DICTATORS, R & R, US AID & PAYMENT FOR BUNKERING OF MILITARY SERVICES, COLLECTING FREE VIETNAM WAR DEBRIS,MONEY LAUNDERING ETC.

     These constitute the LEE KUAN YEW MIRACLE not the often touted glittering buildings and the highway and byways of modern Singapore, the Changi Airport, reclamation, etc which rightly were the IDEAS OF DR WINSEMIUS. To explain by FAKE INFORMATION, lee Kuan Yew deliberately mis-represented what ALL CAN SEE AS HIS MIRACLE AND NOT THAT HUGE UNDER-COUNTER BLACK TRADES AS MENTIONED ABOVE !

     Commonsense tells us why a tiny isle with no human and natural resources resources was not lauded by the Western World for their wonderful achievement ( the smart people are actually in Malaysia ) FOR MAKING SO MUCH MONEY TO JUMP FROM 3RD CLASS TO 1ST CLASS WITH A SIZEABLE MILTIARY TO BOOT ?

     It does not make any sense to me. THIS IS NOW PROVEN TO BE THE CASE WITH THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE BLACK TRADES AFTER THE BRICS MUSCLED IN AFTER THE END OF THE COLD WAR 1990 onwards. This confirmed that Singapore’s GDP never breached 3% 2002 to 2017. This means the deficit of 2-3 % was due ENTIRELY TO THE BLACK TRADES OF LEE KUAN YEW – his Miracle ! No matter how hard Singapore tried with Malaysia Killer TPPA/CPTPP, tourists, casinos, importation of FTs, all manner of hi-tech or bio-tech industries etc, THE REVENUES FOR SINGAPORE CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH THE HUGE PROFITS FROM THE PEOPLE KILLER THE BLACK TRADES OF THE COLD WAR BENEFITTING SINGAPORE 1948-1989 ! This is a fact. It does not make sense for Singapore to make so much money over our beloved Malaysia which has everything including BRAINS. Now it is all very transparent. Man proposes. God disposes. Or according to Balzac,’ Behind every great fortune, a great crime !’

     Soon, Singapore will run out of its fat reserves if the elites still cannot produce the requisite white rabbits out of the proverbial hat FOR SUSATAINABILITY AND SURVIVAL. The writing is on the wall !

     Finally, no Democratic country does business to make money for the people. Singapore could control the GLCs in a tiny place with Lee Kuan Yew’s close monitoring of bank accounts and sexual peccadilloes. Russia and China thought GLCs are a half-way house between Capitalism and Communism. Later RAMPANT CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM ERUPTED IN THEIR VAST LANDS which lasted to this day.

     MALAYSIA’S LEADERSHIP FROM 2004 TO 2018 ADOPTED GLCs TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEMSELVES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE RAKYAT – a total waste of the Rakyat’s TIME AND MONEY.

     The whole Nation was held back in terms OF EVERYTHING CONCERNING WELFARE, DEVELOPMENT AND GENERAL PROGRESS WHICH BROUGHT OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA TO HER KNEES. What a shame !

     Just 2 examples out of hundreds or thousands.

     Khazanah invested RM 80 Million in an Israeli bra, undies and lingerie business to make the future comfortable for 500,000,000 Indian ladies which was lost in a jiffy !

     Khazanah invested RM 2 Billion in UBS just to carry Lee Kuan Yew’s legs because Singapore has a substantial interest. This RM 2 Billion was lost in a jiffy.

     Where is the money for the Rakyat’s welfare today with such corrupt and uncaring BN Leadership ? No wonder the Singaporeans respect them who bought respect with the Rakyat’s money !

     3. ‘ GDP TO REMAIN ON GROWTH PATH INTO 2019.’ Malaysia is fortunate to have the PH Government led by our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in place at the right time. Or else, the Malaysians become the slaves of the Slave Colony of Singapore via the TPPA/CPTTA and end up dressed in rags !

     Yes ! The GDP is out-dated in its measurement of the distribution of wealth amongst the populace. Tiny states like Singapore could not be measured accurately in terms of the bottom-most citizens when its Government looks to the sky always. Huge nations like China could not apply the GDP effectively because it is the Policy of the country to look after the poor and too much employment is difficult due to over-crowding in the urban places. China has to modify the GDP to her own needs.

     Malaysia will do well to focus on reducing on our unemployment especially our graduates. This I believe could be achieved in 3 years time or earlier.

     4. ‘ RENEGOTIATED LAND DEALS RAKE IN RM 149m FOR CITY HALL.’ In one instance, so much money is recovered. But this has been going on since 2004 under the rule of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government. City Hall’s corruption is legend since the 1960s. Some ex-officers could afford houses in Bukit Tunku on retirement !

     5. ‘ 11 COPS LINKED TO PROTECTION RING NABBED.’ If the PDRM personal are well-looked after like free housing, allowances for families etc, why should they be crooks if their LEADERSHIP sets an example of caring for them ?

     6. ‘ 20,000 STUDENTS STRANDED AS SKILLS FUND SHRINKS ‘. This is bad, very bad. This is the result of RECKLESS CORRUPTION AT THE VERY TOP WHERE THE LEADERSHIP DOES NOT CARE BUT ONLY PAID LIP-SERVICE TO MAINTAIN POWER.

     It is very bad to take it out on hapless children who depends on the Government for their livelihood and survival. Another instance of the loss of our famous traditional Malaysian caring for others who are disadvantaged. Instead, the collection of 10,000 Rolex watches and cash is more important !

     7. ‘ MALAYSIA TRUMPS S’PORE IN TACKLING INEQUALITY.’ This is self-explanatory.

     Malaysia beats Singapore in everything except for their high-pressure cooker Education System which is UNDESIRABLE FOR MALAYSIA. We want to avoid suicides by young people and mental breakdowns with concomitant inferiority complexes and ivory tower types which are useless in an emerging nation. We must deal with such problems in our unique caring and humane manner. No brutal or rough stuff for us, Malaysians.

     We have more geniuses in Malaysia than Singapore which has NONE.

     Or else, Singapore would not be in such a DILEMMA today. Man proposes. God disposes.

     Just yesterday, it was reported that Starhub will sack 200 workers. My relative an ex-banking executive is still a Grab taxi-driver.

     Yesterday, Singapore’s Foreign Minister exhorted his countrymen to respect our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. First, he is just stating the obvious. Our Tun passed his exams in the King Edward V11 Medical School, Singapore with flying colours. Acheh !. Second, our Tun and Malaysia did nothing wrong with Singapore. BUT FROM 1962 TO 2018, SINGAPORE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MALAYSIA AT EVERY TURN, FROM WATER TO SHARES TO PAP CADRE AS BOSS OF UMNO NSTP TO ROCKS TO MALAYSIA KILLER LIKE THE TPPA/CPTPP. Who else but SINGAPORE ?

     The list of instances where Singapore screwed Malaysia is endless so to speak – AND BOTH ARE SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES TOO ! Of course, our Tun should be respected not only by all Singaporeans but all the World too. As a qualified Doctor, he does not TALK NONSENSE without facts.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! I reckon we will be a Malaysian Tiger again by 2020. Thanks to you and your Team. We nearly became a kitten or Micky Mouse for Life or a Slave Colony of Singapore !

415. Good afternoon!

     Sebenarnya I cuma sembang kedai kopi. Kopi pun kena beli sendiri 🙁

     My comments are based on news I baca. Share serba sedikit my experience. I still very much voter yang biasa biasa sangat. Kalau tanya samada I akan vote gabungan PH lagi. At the moment the answer is still a big No.

     LGBT? Well kita kan orang Asia, mana2 negara Asia pun sama. Islam ke tak. Kat Jepun pun sama. Kat India pun sama. Mana ada war war. This issue more of a closet thing. Takan Malaysia nak jadi hero buat kerja yang tak berfaedah ini.

     That’s all I can say. Bye!!

416. Tun

     We Malaysians are really spoilt people.

     We wake up early in the morning, prepare ourselves either for work or to ferry our children to the schools. And each morning without fail, we are greeted by a pleasant, cool and bright morning with sunshine. Only sometimes, and I stress, only sometimes are we met with a slight drizzle of fine rain. There has never been a heavy downpour early in the mornings unlike the monsoon season in India where it rains non-stop, literally dogs and cats day and night.

     Yes, Tun ! We Malaysians are spoilt to the core by the warm and equable weather with no major disasters like typhoons, earthquakes or tsunamis. And yet our beloved Malaysia was nearly destroyed by our own hands. – the hands which were elected into the highest office in the land !

     I always think back to the close shave which our beloved Malaysia had up to 9 May 2018. AND THE SACRIFICES OF YOUR ILLUSTRIOUS PREDECESSORS THE TUNKU, TUN ABDUL RAZAK AND TUN HUSSEIN ONN.

     It was all 99% hard work by those who decided to unite and line up behind your brilliant and courageous leadership to bring back not only the notion but in practical terms how our beloved Malaysia should be govern on an even keel, fair and just, and without the outrageous corruption and uncaring attitude as perceived by all and sundry.

     And as a result of the collapse of the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government, every headline in this morning’s newspapers concerns the mess left by them. This morning, it took me sometime to come across a headline which is meaningful and has wisdom. Only one, thus

     NSTP.’ DR M : DON’T DWELL ON THE PAST.’

     Yes, Tun ! We Malaysians have to be reminded all the time that our very existence in this wonderful land did come at a cost. A cost which has to be borne by all and sundry that without being constantly aware of how Malaysia came into being after so many centuries of living together in peace and harmony, all our wonderful mornings could just go up in thick smoke in a jiffy ! In the 1980s, the brilliant lady lawyer in Singapore told me that in our country, the news today will be forgotten tomorrow !

     Your call for all to unite and not base our actions on our lingering thoughts of the past is indeed logical and binding for all of us the Rakyat to unite behind your lEADERSHIP of the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great – A WAKE UP CALL.

     Without the Unity for progress and with the penchant to dwell on the past, we the Rakyat and our beloved Malaysia cannot progress on any terms, politically or socio-economically.

     The 9 May 2018 GE have been decided by the Rakyat on who should now lead the Nation and clean up the corrupt mess or Augean Stables. And it is the incumbent Government of the day, the PH which all and sundry should unite and support and not dwell on the past, as you succinctly stated, Tun.

     As one Tan Sri once told me, ‘TODAY IS TODAY. YESTERDAY WAS YESTERDAY.’

     With a clean slate, the New and Incorruptible Government can focus on the Policies which are focussed on serving the Rakyat needs for now and the future especially with the new locus standi that Malaysia is now one of 4 most important small countries of the World being Britain, Switzerland, Japan and Malaysia. And under your wise and experienced Leadership Tun, Malaysia and her Rakyat will go places – upwards towards the likes of Visionary Switzerland, Democratic India and Good Governance Japan.

     We just need a successful National Car Project to finish our New Malaysian tapestry with your iconic signature to sign off.

     We will be up there with the Greats. Not forgetting that there are billions and billions of ringgits of ill-gotten gains to be retrieved overseas from the crooks since 2004 which will take some time. Better late than never Tun ! One Trillion ringgits were reported to have flowed overseas between 2003 to 2010 before 1MDB !

     THE PH GOVERNMENT BY TAKING ACTION EVERY DAY TO RETRIEVE THE BILLIONS OF RINGGITS FROM THE CROOKS OVERSEAS, CORRUPTION IS HELD AT BAY OR REDUCED BY REMINDING THE PROSPECTIVE CROOKS AND THE WORLD THAT MALAYSIA HAS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CORRUPTION. Let the probes and so on be a daily occurrence to stop or reduce this cancer once and for all. A sen spent on this preventive action will save Malaysia and her Rakyat billions of ringgits in future with no headaches !

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! Retrieve the billions of ringgits home Tun ! Why let this money benefit other countries which do not need it ?

418. Good evening Tun

     My ex partner dalam unit trust keturunan Cina agama Christian. I sebut ex sini sebab beliau passed away 2 years ago.

     He was a very nice kind man. I tidak ada masaalah denganya. Balik rumah pun dia sering sebut my name, sampai hari ini anak2 dia ingat I.

     I ingat masa mula2 dia recruit ramai agent Melayu, dia rajin juga argue soal agama dengan agent beragama Islam yang lain. Jadi debat besar. Dengan I taklah sebab dia tau I simple, your religion is your religion, my religion is my religion, we are here to do business, so be it.

     Tapi lama lepas itu dia puji pula agent Melayu, dia kata nak kapal terbang pun sempat sembahyang dulu. 5 waktu sehari sembahyang sedangkan orang kristian tidak.

     Jangan salah faham, dia tak pernah tukar agama, dia meninggal dalam agama yang dianuti. Malah semasa hidup dia rajin derma income yang dia dapat pada sebuah church kecil yang diikutinya. Dia pernah bercita cita nak jadi pastor.

     I rasa soal agama, ada baik hanya penganut yang boleh kritik, agama lain baiklah jangan bercakap cakap lebih.

     That’s all for tonight.

419. Salam YAB dan DiSanjungi PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,

     Mohon izin Tun:

     Saya ingatkan Dr. Mujahid ada kelulusan dalam bidang Undang-Undang Syariah, tapi sangkaan saya meleset.

     Pendidikan Dr. Mujahid Yusof, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri (Agama):

     1) Doktor Falsafah (PhD) Siyasah Syariah (Sains Politik), UM
     2) Sarjana (MA) Pembangunan Sumber Manusia, UPM
     3) BA Bahasa Arab & Sastera, Al Azhar, Mesir

     Maksudnya dia bukan pakar dalam bidang Undang-undang dan Perundangan Syariah. Ish..Ish..Ish…

     Latar belakang pengajian saya bukan dalam bidang Sastera. Maaf cakap, kalau setakat ketiga-tiga ijazah yang Dr. Mujahid ada, kacang saja untuk lulus… 🙂 🙂 🙂 Cuma hafal dan buat penyelidikan sikit-sikit…Persoalannya, adakah hasil penyelidikan beliau menjadi rujukan para penyelidik di peringkat global? Apa sumbangannya kepada dunia? Atau setakat di Malaysia saja ia dirujuk?

     Lihatlah betapa sombongnya kenyataan Dr. Mujahid
     ( http://www.sinarharian.com.my/nasional/mujahid-kesal-sikap-agamawan-1.888999 )

     /// “Yang cakap di media sosial saya tak hairan, bukan tahap kita nak bincang dengan mereka tapi ada yang cakap tahap agamawannya yang dihormati masyarakat. Paling tidak ambillah satu sikap, biar minta penjelasan daripada menteri dulu.

     “Kalaulah kita hormat dia… kalau kita tak hormat dia memang dari awal lagi tanya saja belasahlah,” katanya di Persidangan Meja Bulat: Falsafah dan Tatacara Hukuman Jenayah Syariah Dalam Mencapai Matlamat Rahmatan lil Alamin, di sini, hari ini.///

     Ewah…bukan tahap dia untuk berbincang dengan orang di media sosial? Apa dia ingat tahap pengajian dan kedudukan dia hebat sangatkah? Memang angkuh dia ni…Silap2 haribulan tersungkur di PRU akan datang. Dalam negara yang mengamalkan demokrasi, jangan angkuh sangat.

     Terima kasih Tun.

     – Semoga Allah SWT sentiasa merahmati Tun sekeluarga –

420. There is no free lunch in this world.

     The end must justify the mean, with or without man proposes, god disposes.

421. Right pocket goes into left pockets, or vice versa, it wont matter at all as majority of the young generations are capable to make judgement themselves.

     No matter how the story is spinned and twisted, kalah tetap kalah, menang tetap menang.

     It is still come back to chicken and egg issues.

     As voters, our obligation is to vote only.

     Therefore, whichever coalition become the cabinet and nàme the pm, life will go as usual for the voters, with bumiputra status, or malay bias policy.

     The issues become difficult is when their personal interests is above the people and the country.

422. Dear PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,
     Please allow me to repost an article I posted in i3investor:
     https://klse.i3investor.com/blogs/Sslee_blog/177025.jsp
     Reproduce as below with some editing:

     I was advised by my senior that the best way to understand Scriptures is not in the literal interpretation but read it with an open minded and interpret the many mythologies with reference to the history of mankind. Below is his interpretation on: The Story of Adam and Eve(original sin)

     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_and_Eve
     Original Versus Interpretation: Doing what comes naturally https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teavjYI9pdM
     For almost the whole of human history, from at least 2 million years ago, mankind has lived by doing what comes naturally, a nomadic life of hunter-gatherer where mankind move around from place to place over the seasons and year following the food trail. Men were hunter (Hunting animal and fish) in a small group and women were gatherer and caretaker of child (Gathering edible items of any kind from fruits/nuts/seeds to insects). Life in a nomadic society wasn’t bad as they were in many ways much healthier, stronger and happier as they hunt-gathered just enough of their foods and share all their food together since food cannot be stored. They enjoy hunting, feasting, spending their leisure time with family, caring for each other, tools making, cave paintings etc and live a life of peace, tranquility and social equality as everyone were hunter-gatherer (Equality in work and society).(Garden of Eden)
     Things only come to a change a mere 10,000 year ago where women (Eve) after many years of gathering edible of any kind from fruits/nuts/seeds and insects and for her desire/want to settle down in more stable and secure life (Serpent) experimented and discovered that edible fruits/nuts/seeds can be cultivated and animals can be domesticated (tree of the knowledge of good and evil) persuaded Men (Adam) to become farmer.(The forbidden fruit)
     From land cultivation and livestock faming, food can now be stored and thus allowed accumulation of wealth (original sin) a new sinful/evil and an inequality world was opened up to mankind in growing of wealth and safeguarding of wealth. (Greed/craving, cling/attachment, fear/insecurity, envy/resentment, distrust/anger, hate/prejudice, worship/sacrifice, divine/god, landlord/capitalist, slave/labor, trader/marketer, craftsman/artisan, thief/robber, we/us, they/them, tribes/nations, kingdoms/empires, leaders/tyrants, murderers/conquerors and etc)
     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFIa3FNnFZM

     The Garden of Eden (hunter-gatherer) is now gone and lost forever. What we inherited is the current world with many social ills cause by human own doing of wealth creation and accumulation. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-richest-1-people-in-the-world-are-on-track-to-control-two-thirds-of-wealth-by-2030-2018-04-10
     The reality check, if we humankind still continues on the current wrong track of wealth creation and accumulation but lacking in compassion, love, altruism, wealth sharing and place great emphasis on worship instead of sacrifice/good deeds then by 2030 the richest 1% will own two-thirds of global wealth.

     Mahatma Gandhi listed the seven social ills of modern society as:
     1. Politics without principles.
     2. Wealth without work.
     3. Pleasure without conscience.
     4. Knowledge without character.
     5. Commerce without morality.
     6. Science without humanity.
     7. Worship without sacrifice.

     https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa
     I can only wish if only there is less worship and more sacrifice/good deeds as epitomes’ by Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta devoted/sacrificed her whole life caring for the sick, the homeless and the poorest of the poor in the slum of Calcutta.
     I cited her quote below to reflect her thought of humaneness, love, selflessness, devotion, compassion, empathy, sacrifice, suffering, pain, loss, darkness, hopelessness, despair, dead and question the absent of god’s mercy.
     • I see God in every human being. When I wash the leper’s wounds, I feel I am nursing the Lord himself. Is it not a beautiful experience?
     • Don’t look for big things, just do small things with great love….The smaller the thing, the greater must be our love.
     • If I ever become a Saint — I surely be one of “darkness”. I will continually be absent from Heaven — to light the light of those in darkness on earth.
     • One day I met a lady who was dying of cancer in a most terrible condition. And I told her, I say, “You know, this terrible pain is only the kiss of Jesus — a sign that you have come so close to Jesus on the cross that he can kiss you.” And she joined her hands together and said, “Mother Teresa, please tell Jesus to stop kissing me”
     • They say people in hell suffer eternal pain because of the loss of God – they would go through all that suffering if they had just a little hope of possessing God. In my soul I feel just that terrible pain of loss, of God not wanting me, of God not being God, of God not really existing (Jesus, please forgive my blasphemies, I have been told to write everything). That darkness that surrounds me on all sides. I can’t lift my soul to God – no light or inspiration enters my soul. I speak of love for souls, of tender love for God, words pass through my words [sic, lips], and I long with a deep longing to believe in them! What do I labour for? If there be no God—there can be no soul.—If there is no soul then Jesus—You also are not true… Jesus don’t let my soul be deceived—nor let me deceive anyone. In the call You said that I would have to suffer much.—Ten years—my Jesus, You have done to me according to Your will—and Jesus hear my prayer—if this pleases You—if my pain and suffering—my darkness and separation gives You a drop of consolation—my own Jesus, do with me as You wish—as long as You wish, without a single glance at my feelings and pain… I beg of You only one thing—please do not take the trouble to return soon.—I am ready to wait for You for all eternity.

     Worship/Faith without Sacrifice/Good Deeds is worthless. If everyone practiced their faiths by good deeds (Love God thus Loves everyone and sharing their wealth) and not just words/worships then for sure we can recreate THE NEW GARDEN OF EDEN on planet Earth.

     The world will be a much better place if we build wealth and at the same time give and share wealth. I wish more and more major shareholder of listed company in Bursa will emulate kind hearted Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow, founder of Public Bank in building and readily sharing the wealth of Public Bank with all the employees and shareholders with generous bonus/dividend and good capital gain. He is loved, respected and praise by the entire employees/shareholders. He is the shining example, the epitome of what all for one and one for all really mean.
     https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/highlight/2018/05/03/6000-gather-to-thank-teh-hong-piow-for-piloting-public-bank-to-success/

     May god be merciful to all and bless all.

     Thank you.
     Yours truly,
     SS Lee
     PS: What can we do to practice good deeds as well as good thoughts? What sacrifices are you willing to make to help others? Are we making a true sacrifice by telling others how hard we worked and that they can be what we are if they only try? Should we simply tell others to pull themselves up by their boot straps? Are all people really created equal in the sense that everyone has an equal chance at health, resource, education, work, government and happiness? Can we help make it so by sharing what we have with others?

423. But mubarakchan is not japanese or swiss.

     Yup, when people started to cheat and lie, they can never remember what they said.

     Good, bad or ugly, mubarakchans and the gangs to decide.

424. Tun,

     Assalamualaikum. This is not related to the topic above. But I ‘m going to put it down here anyway. Tun, I really respect and have full confidence in your administration. I think and many of us too that you are the main reason why PH managed to win the recent election. I think you have chosen your cabinets well and I believe we need to give ample time for the cabinets ministers to learn and adapt and put forward their ideas to make this country as the Tiger of Asia again. I understand that such task is difficult because you have inherited a ‘very sick’ government that was infected by deadly disease from top to bottom. But again I stress that I have full confidence in you and your ministers especially Dr Mujahid and Dr Maslee to take up the challenge. I am comfortable with Datin Seri Azizah and I was pleasantly surprise by her performance as the Deputy Prime Minister. But I never had any confidence in her husband as a leader and I think he is out of touch and no longer relevant to the people. He’s a populist and he has proven that he was not a great leader. I sincerely hope and pray that he will not win the PD election. It is so unfortunate that Rafizi could have come forward with this idea despite being a brainer. Dia dan DS Anwar cuma pengacau sahaja. I don’t even mind that Isa would win so that DS could not be in the government.

     Semoga Allah SWT panjangkan umur Tun berdua dan memberkati usia Tun berdua. Terima kasih yang tak terhingga kepada Tun berdua kerana masih sanggup menanggung beban yang amat berat ini. Hanya Allah SWT sahaja yang dapat membalasnya. Semoga Tun tergolong dalam golongan yang mendapat syafaatNya.

425. Bak kata, too many cooks spolied the soup.

     Yup, it is ether they merge and become stronger or adpat to the future to become stronger, it is up to the top decision makers.

     Yup, forced merger can make the economy move backward, and could caused anarchy to the share market and forex.

     We have gone through that for the past few decades, and until bn is out few months back.

     The decision in the hands of the political parties of both divides.

     Boleh means boleh.

     Tak boleh means tak boleh.

     You can never pregnant 9 women to make a baby.

     Some issues just need time.

     Yup, for those who live in glass door should never baling batu.

     Tak nak takpa, tapi jangan hina.

426. Hang bermaksud hamsap, i mean lucah punya writing in macam dulu punya jelita ar?

     Aku pun pernah baca apa si perempuan main dengan kuching kesayanganya during the 90s in their column oleh doctor apanama.

     Macam ini, that was during the 90s, and hiv happened when human main dengan binatang jinak, bukan liar.

     Kenapa?

     Jika binatang liar, mereka pasti akan ditelan binatang ini.

     Dulu, world health organization memang tak tahu kenapa boleh jadi macam ini.

     Rupa2nya, di negara yang amat miskin, mereka memerlukan penternakan untuk bikin daging.

     Imagine, these penternak yang amat miskin dan langsung takda pengetahuan of diseases or jangitan virus, setiap hari bersama binatang ternakan mereka dan apabila takda kerja lain, dan bila nafsu sampai, mereka terus main aja.

     Kini, mereka mana berani nak main kerana ia akan mengundang penyakit muat, betul tak?

     But, porn child memang a crime di negara yang maju, entahlah di negara malaysia ini.

     As for same sex, atau prostitution, mereka sudah mahir in protecting themselves, therefore, it wont create troubles to the health ministry.

     If they still stuck in dulu punya mindset and still want to pass down to their next generation, and masih dillie dellie dan tak mahu eye to eye level talks, yup, voters will abandon them, and thats for sure.

427. Good morning YAB Tun

     Berita sekarang penuh dengan Rafizi menang.

     I nak share my story.

     I sebenarnya buat part time unit trust agent since 1997. I masuk bidang ini sebab nak belajar cara pelaburan yang baik. Since I tak pandai kira2, I jadi recruit pada seorang China accountant.

     Walaupun I ini buat part time tapi merasa jadi runner-up top agency manager peringkat kebangsaan satu masa dulu. Strange kan? Part time tapi boleh dapat anugerah.

     Bagaimana nak build agency? Like insurance agency, sama juga dalam unit trust agency, rely on people, so jawapan sini kena recruit people dan train mereka. Tapi nak jadi agent kena duduk exam, lulus, baru dapat lesen. Tak ada lesen tak boleh jual.

     So ada orang yang baru duduk exam, hari2 tanya bila dapat lesen. Tak tanya lulus ke tak, tapi tanya bila nak dapat lesen. Ada orang tu tak peduli langsung, suruh duduk exam dia buat, lepas tu diam senyap tak tanya apa pun.

     From my experience and my partner experience, orang yang sering tanya bila dapat lesen, bila dapat lesen tak jual. Tapi yang diam tu nanti yang akan buat kerja dan berjaya.

     Moral of the story, yang tak sabar2 nak sesuatu tu selalunya, bila dah dapat, dia relaks je. Dia tak pandang jauh dari dapat lesen atau apa yang dikehendaki.

428. Tun

     A Monday morning is what I always look forward to every week-end. It is nice to have public holidays for most. But too much of it is not conducive to a person attuned to working to achieve something in Life. However, people must realize that it is better to have a job or work to do rather than being unemployed and sitting at home.

     As I ferried my grand-daughter to her Sekolah Kebangsaan, the traffic flowed at a normal speed which demonstrated that people are relaxed and happy in their minds as they headed towards their places of work. A good omen for all and sundry. Another fine and classic Malaysian good morning for you and me Tun. And what about the headlines ? There is only one of note.

     Malay Mail. ‘DAIM PLEDGES TO RESOLVE LOW INCOMES OF FISHERMEN.’

     This important headline jolted my senses and caused me to reflect on the countless of train journeys which I have made in Japan and Switzerland through the beautiful rolling countryside of these wonderful countries. Not only that, as the train rolled out to the countryside, the views of farmlands and the habitat of both the farmers and their keep could be seen in these landscapes of peace and contentment.

     During these trips, I always wondered how advanced industrialised countries like Japan and Switzerland with their highest standards of living in a small land mass could up-keep their farmers and keep them in the countryside.

     Eventually, I realised that the Government had a duty to maintain the farmers due to historical precedents and political reasons being the backbone of the country. And that it is pointless to have all the inhabitants in the towns and the countryside is deserted and devoid of Life, human beings and animals. As a result, I could only conclude that the disadvantaged farmer or fisherman is subsidized by the Government. This is the only way because the stand alone fisherman or farmer will be wiped out in the free market place by just one down turn. And in Malaysia it is desirable to keep the fishermen and farmers out of the clutches of the credits given by the middlemen as far as possible.

     Tun Daim Is c0rrect to emphasise the plight of the fishermen and the farmers.

     A marketing board is no solution. It is better to let free market principles reign in the market place for the fishermen and the farmers, and others.

     BUT LET THE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZE THE FISHERMEN AND FARMERS MONTHLY WITH CASH.

     The essential needs of a fisherman or farmer are food, education for the children, a roof over their heads, transportation. I feel a marketing board gives rise to red tape and corruption. It is better to subsidize these fishermen and farmers who need cash more than anything else. AND THE SUBSIDIES WILL NOT BE ANYTHING WHICH RUNS INTO BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF RINGGITS LIKE THOSE STOLEN BY THE 1MDB CROOKS AMONGST OTHERS.

     In recent years, I have noticed that Malay itinerant hawkers have discovered the best market places for themselves are in the commercial areas of Bangsar, TTDI and Sri Hartamas. Some of them come from as far away as Pahang.

     Just a few days ago, my wife bought some very good rambutans from a Malay itinerant hawker who came all the way from Pahang. He was selling the rambutans at RM 6 per kilo by weight. Here is an example of an enterprising person who knows how to market given the support which he had in Pahang.

     On the other hand, decades ago, it was alleged that some FELDA settlers were selling the fertilizers given to them to outsiders. Hence, it is better for the Government to subsidize fishermen and farmers with cash instead of equipment which they would sell at a loss eventually or did not maintain. The exception would be a larger piece of equipment like a fishing boat or a harvester under Government supervision through a co-operative.

     All in all, to resolve the low incomes of fishermen as suggested by Tun Daim is a MUST for our beloved Malaysia because all Malaysians should be on the same level playing field under the Sun. Because we care for our fishermen and farmers like Japan and Switzerland, Malaysia stands out as a country which cares for all her citizens and not only those in the towns.

     If Japan and Switzerland have been doing this by assisting the fishermen and farmers, Malaysia can also follow along a similar route or manner.

     I strongly believe that Malaysia has the capability to raise the incomes of fishermen and farmers as pledged by Tun Daim. And the cost to do so is minimal with the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great as led by our Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! We care for the fishermen and farmers like anyone else !

429. Yup, malaysia is a blessed country with plenty of oil, henceforth, we dont need nuclear power.

     Even when ktm, ercl and hsr merged, we still need petrol to generate transportation needs which is vialable in any countries with roads and highways.

     It depends how you do it so that it is more rewarding and less damaging to the environment.

     But sadly and unfortunately, it is still about my way, your way after more than 6 decades of merdeka.

     To those in power, they are more interested to rich themselve first via qe method just to increase the muslim population through back door.

     They are not only being unfair to their own race, they are being unfair to other races as well.

     This is malaysia, and malaysia is part of south east asia region.

     This is a political fact that no one can deny.

     It is either we adapt, or we will be left behind.

430. Assalamualaikum Tun.

     Saya banyak kali baca tentang Mujahid kata wartawan silap faham berkenaan kenyataan beliau.

     Berkenaan isu nafsu ini biasanya saya tak bagi terus link kat sini, bukan apa, takut menda yang tak elok tu saya tanggung dosanya sekali kalau tersebar.

     Lagipun kat sini ramai lapisan yang membaca.

     Rasa saya Tun hanya google search yang biasa biasa saje.

     Cuba Tun google search ‘Melayu Tumblr’ dan scroll ke bawah cari video video dan tekan play.

     Kemudian Mujahid boleh kata wartawan silap faham kenyataan beliau.

     Terima kasih Tun.

431. Akhirnya umno tertumpang after 6 decades in power.

432. Yup, when the law is changed from jaga jiwa dan hati muslim to jaga jiwa dan hati melayu, it will make them more confused, aimless and directionless.

     When the law is changed just to make favor someone, or a political party, then, the non muslim and non malay will have the choice not to merge with them.

     They are already slow and behind in the past.

     With the slogan of keranamu malaysia, they are even slower and more behind because of hak istimewa.

     When the slogan changed to gemilang, cermerlang and terbilang, they became more slower, more biadap and more sombong.

     Then the slogan of 1 malaysia is born, and akhirnya umno.

     Unless, they really think nasi lemak and roti canai can build the tallest building in south east asia region by demoralizing other races.

     Unless, they really believe keris gergasi with kek pulut can build the strongest islamic hub in south east asia region by demoralizing other races.

     It is up to both of the political divides to decide who have the biggest bite of the kek pulut.

     Ps: look at ktm and their service, you will how good efficient they are, tak gitu sibotak?

433. Assalamualaikum wmwbt Tun.

     Cuma nak tanya, apa masih perlukah sekolah2 asrama penuh seperti SDAR, STAR, MCKK, Tun Fatimah, Kursiah dll wujud sebagai sekolah “jantina tunggal”. Cuba pakat tengok kesan saikologi dan egoisma mereka keluaran sekolah2 “jantina tunggal” ini berbanding yg bersifat “pelbagai jantina”.

     (2) Mungkin para professional ahli saikologi pendidikan dan kemasyarakatan boleh mula berbincang tentang hal ini. Cuma singkirkan soal sentimen dan nostagia. Lihat kpd kepentingan Melayu dan Negara dari sydut Islamnya.

     Jaga diri Tun. Semoga Kerajaan dapat merobah cepat aoa yg BN tidak perbuat dgn baik.

434. Assalamualaikum wmwbt Tun.

     Nampaknya, banyak perkara yg Menteri2 PH buat atau kata yg ada pihak tengok tak berapa betul dan boleh dijadikan “polimik” tak sihat.

     (2) Saya rasa elok Kjaan sekarang tengok cara @ kaedah PR yg Kjaan gunakan esp RTM. Saya tak nampak RTM telah berubah, dari meneruskan budaya “polimik @ politicking” kpd budaya penyampaian maklumat @ pendidikan berkesan. Mungkin profrssionalisma para pendokong RTM telah jumud @ sedang menghadapi masalah kewangan @ kedua-duanya.

     (3) Contoh dlm isu2 yg boleh mengundang polimik, elok guna RTM utk dijadikan media “academic discourse” dari para Menteri buru2 buat kenyataan. Biar ahli2 yg pakar dalam bidang tsb berbahas dan Menteri taklah perlu ke depan dlm semua hal.

     (4) Saya nampak, kebanyakan masalah polimik di negara ini ialah bila orang politik selalu “gelojoh” hendak ke depan n tidak menggunakan mereka yg professional utk ke depan. Penyakit lama, orang politik serba semua tahu masih terlalu menjalar dalam Governance Kjaan kita. Wajar para ahli politik kini mulai mengamalkan “biar jauhari juga mengenal maniksm”. Menteri biarlah lebih menumpu soal2 dasar dan prinsip. Biarlah soal operasi @ pentadbiran itu menjadi hal jentera kerajaan.

     Jaga diri Tun. Semoga Kjaan focus utk buat kerja dari timbulkan “polimik”.

435. To ordinary prc nationals, they dont like usa because they perceived usa wants to force and smoke china to go into war with them.

     If usa president trump really wants to force them into war, they too had no choice, and will go for it.

     Thats politics.

     In diplomacy, to china, when negotiation failed, then, culture or bullet exchange pun takda masalah.

     This is call show hands what.

     Only americans can play, you think prc nationals dont know how to play?

     Jika mahu main politik, kena main dengan cara yang betul.

     Jika tidak, kedua2 negara besar ini pasti akan dijadikan bahan untuk media menulis.

436. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun,

     Negarawan Paling Senior Di Atas Planet kata orang Amerika Syarikat

     Bercakap Dari Hati Yang Ikhlas Tanpa Rasa Gentar Atau Berat Sebelah

     Sewaktu ayahanda Tun di AS banyak pihak di sana mahu dengar pandangan ayahanda Tun tentang kebangkitan negara China dari sudut ekonomi global sementara AS cuba menyekat China dengan Trump mengisytiharkan perang dagang ke atasnya.

     Tertarik dengan pandangan sinis, bernas dan bersahaja dari ayahanda Tun yang mengatakan negara kita telah lama menjalinkan hubungan dagang dengan negara China sejak beribu tahun lamanya dan tidaklah sampai ia menakluki kita.

     Lain pula ceritanya dengan negara Eropah (Portugis) yang mula menjalinkan hubungan dagang pada tahun 1509 tetapi dua tahun kemudian kita pula dijajah.

     Bukankah kita perlu takut dengan Barat terutamanya AS lebih dari China kerana AS yang risau dengan kekukuhan ekonomi China hari ini dan juga risau apabila China yang miskin beberapa dekad yang lalu.

     AS tahu Najib pula pro AS sehingga skandal 1MDB dibongkarkan DOJ dan Jho Low sengaja mengalihkan kiblat ke China untuk selamatkan dirinya dan Najib.

     Selama ini kita boleh bangunkan negara tanpa pinjaman China dari syarikat China, material dari China dengan pekerja2 dari China dan duit tidak pernah mengalir masuk ke Malaysia tetapi sentiasa mengalir keluar.

     Ayahanda Tun dari dahulu suka guna acuan sendiri untuk pulihkan ekonomi dan tidak pernah berkiblatkan barat atau AS atau IMF dan atas asas ini risau bebenor memikirkan sdr ABI yang pro-Barat dan AS itu 🙁 .

     Sekian.

     p/s : Benarlah kata ayahanda Tun baru2 ini bahawasanya orang2 tua ini kadangkala digalakkan bertikam lidah untuk memastikan otak mereka sentiasa cergas dengan membaca dan menulis tetapi kalau boleh jangan terlampau sensitif sehingga semuanya dianggap fitnah 🙂 .

437. I dont feel sorry for her race anymore, and whatever they want to do, thats their business.

     When comes to fatwa, it is up to my sultan to decide, and i believe my sultan would make wise decision on this.

438. #Moral of the story

     Banyak kerasan boleh dilakukan untuk mendidik seseorang, berjaya ke tak, different story.

439. She really made me laughed as if all her race is so suci, bersih dan berseri macam buat iklan serbuk pencuci baju kut, hahaha….

     Yup, apabila balik kampung, they behave as good good children, but in city, no one cares what they do, and even their parents pun tak tahu.

     Aku orang tua, tapi mata dan hatiku masih muda lagi.

     Better than those who claimed they are young, but think like grannies.

     How to attract guys like that, unless she doesnt to get married and bikin children.

440. Good evening Tun

     I ada baca berita yang Mujahid sebut editor putar belit apa beliau cakap.

     Setau I kes2 begini usually sebab jiran report. Government department tidak akan datang kalau tidak ada report. Mereka takan ketuk pintu rumah orang tanpa report. Kalau nak bersedudukkan ada baiknya jangan duduk area orang Melayu. 🙂

     I tak tau the system now, sebab most kawasan urban dan suburban dah ada guard house. Kalau nak masuk kena tunjuk IC. Kalau kata nak pergi rumah nombor ini, chances are the guard akan contact owner dulu, sebelum yang nak masuk dapat masuk.

     Mungkin mudah di luar bandar but I don’t think that easy if tinggal di bandar besar.

     Back in the late 80s, I pernah tinggal kat Ampang, a double storey terrace house. 3 bilik di atas 3 lelaki tinggal. I ambil bilik bawah sebab I perempuan.

     I have no problem dengan penyewa bilik lain, but the problem datang from a girl yang boyfriend nya tinggal di bilik atas. Dia sering datang tinggal di bilik boyfriend, though the boyfriend macam tak layan dia dengan baik. Dia tetap suka tinggal situ.

     So satu malam pencegah maksiat datang, intai kat tingkap bilik I. Apa mereka nampak? I yang baru nak tukar baju. Ofcourse I jerit. To cut the story short the girl pada malam itu kebetulan tak tidur situ.

     Anyway bila abang ipar girl ini dapat tau, the next time the girl datang situ, dia kena pukul, sampai arial radio I patah. Puncanya the girl lari masuk bilik I. Abang ipar kejar. Bila kena bantai radio I pun kena. Dah Datok dah abang ipar dia sekarang, celebrity, tak payah sebut nama.

     Satelah kena pukul teruk tak serik datang lagi. I pun malas nak layan, I pindah rumah. I heard she and her boyfriend got married, dan cerai lepas tu. Did not know how long the marriage last.

441. Aku peduli apa, aku bukan mahu bertanding free style mahupun toast kaya what.

     Aku kini mahu masuk acara butterfly stroke that requires much more higher strenght and skill and focus on dumpling, tak boleh ke?

     P/s: sikap amanah, cekap dan bersih already replaced by computerized system, and there is no way you can lie, cheat or steal, you dont know ar?

442. Salam YAB dan DiSanjungi PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,

     1. Dalam Sistem Demokrasi, para pengundi @ warganegara berhak untuk mengkritik pemimpin2 Kerajaan yang memerintah (asal tidak keterlaluan / memfitnah). Jadi, saya sebagai warganegara Malaysia berhak mengkritik apa saja tindakan2 dan keputusan2 Kerajaan PH yang pada pandangan saya ternampak tidak betul.

     2. Kritikan2 saya memang berkaitan isu2 yang melibatkan rakyat (dan saya), dan bukannya saya mengkritik / mengutuk / mengejek penampilan, fizikal atau usia seseorang seperti yang sesetengah ‘bloggers’ gemar lakukan (kesian betul…dah tak ada modal lain…). Ada warga tua yang menyertai blog Chedet setelah ‘pencen’ membuat andaian ‘bijak’ lah kononnya bahawa orang yang menyertai blog Tun semenjak 2008 ialah orang pencen (dan wajar diperlekeh otak dan dihina fizikalnya…ini satu kebodohan melampau..). Setahu saya pengunjung2 blog Tun ada juga di kalangan pelajar sekolah dan Universiti.

     3. Izinkan saya Tun untuk ulas isu berikut:

     Tiada lagi operasi khalwat waktu malam – Dr Mujahid

     /// KUALA LUMPUR: Tiada lagi ketukan pintu di waktu tengah malam oleh pihak berkuasa agama yang menyiasat laporan khalwat atau salah laku lain.

     Sebaliknya, Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri Datuk Dr Mujahid Yusof Rawa menegaskan bahawa apa yang dilakukan oleh orang Islam di belakang pintu tertutup bukanlah urusan pihak kerajaan.

     “Katakan anda melakukan sesuatu dalam ruang peribadi anda, saya tidak akan campur tangan. ///

     http://www.mstar.com.my/berita/berita-semasa/2018/10/06/khalwat-bukan-urusan-kerajaan/

     Astaghfirullah…Baru sahaja menjadi Menteri, Dr. Mujahid sudah menunjukkan betapa liberal dan dangkalnya pemikiran beliau yang tidak selari dengan ajaran Islam yang sebenar.

     Dalam erti kata lain, sekarang ini di Malaysia (kalau ikut kenyataan Dr. Mujahid), pasangan yang beragama Islam boleh bebas BERSEKEDUDUKAN (tinggal serumah tanpa ikatan perkahwinan), dan tanpa rasa takut atau bimbang untuk melakukan maksiat asalkan dilakukan di “belakang pintu tertutup”.

     Ish..Ish..Ish…Pasangan Islam yang buat maksiat di “belakang pintu pejabat/ hotel/ pondok/ kenderaan, khemah, etc.” yang tertutup (asal ada pintu) pun bolehlah agaknya. Entahlah.

     Umat Islam memang wajar (wajib) menegur dalam hal kemungkaran. Kadang-kala, bila jiran menegur (kemungkaran), pasangan yang ditegur buat dek saja (tak makan saman). Sebab itu perlakuan2 sumbang akhirnya dilaporkan kepada pihak berwajib (tidak mahu bersubahat). Kita tidak mahu perlakuan sumbang/maksiat khalwat (bersekedudukan) menjadi budaya kita. Kadang-kala, kita terpaksa mendedahkan aib seseorang untuk mencegah perkara2 mungkar dari terus berleluasa.

     Bercakap dan membuat keputusan secara terburu-buru tanpa berfikir panjang sudah jadi ‘trademark’ ahli2 Kabinet PH. Amat menyedihkan.

     Maaf Tun, saya terkilan bila baca kenyataan Tun berkenaan hal yang amat penting dan sensitif ini.

     Astaghfirullah…

     Terima kasih Tun.

     – Semoga Allah SWT sentiasa merahmati Tun sekeluarga –

443. Assalamualaikum Tun.

     Sudah tentu saya tidak terkejut dengan salam Tun kepada Anwar.

     Tapi untuk bagi Anwar jadi PM?, maaf ler…saya tengok Anwar tak sesuai. Lebih lebih lagi Anwar guna jalan belakang.

     Jalan belakang dengan jalan pintas adalah lain.

     Tun nak pergi kempen untuk Anwar pun, Tun pergilah.

     Inilah masa untuk saya tengok, samada Tun Mahathir atau saya yang power.

     Terima kasih Tun.

444. Tun

     Many people must have asked you about the secret of your wonderful health. A secret which made you outlasted other persons more than half your age. As I commented early on your evergreen physical activity in support of your evergreen political activity, it was ‘ A QUALIFIED DOCTOR’S SECRET !’

     You were quoted in the media with two versions of the same coinage which makes your tongue in the cheek remark all the more amusing to most which are your supporters and un-amusing to the naysayers of the moment. Why at the moment ?

     You have not only seen it all. But also how some have ingratiated themselves with you from nay to yea for their usual benefits. And this is the best joke for you of a Lifetime. How yea-sayers become nay-sayers, or nay-sayers become yea-sayers appearing in stark colours without shame in our Malaysian Political Spectrum. That’s Humankind for you and me, Tun. The word gratefulness is missing in some vocabulary. Your quotes of the day :-

     1. ‘My quarrel with Najib kept my brain active in old age.’

     2. ‘My quarrel with Najib kept my brain sharp.’

     How many of us may have the privilege of quarrelling with the ex-Prime Minister, Tun ? None is the answer.

     So it is good that you kept all of us in the dark as to how to keep ourselves in a tip-top condition right up to 100 and beyond.

     It is good also that your remark gave a jolt to the young generation who are still wet behind the ears that they will NEVER DIE ! I have a list of 65 names which showed they do die young. The youngest was 39 !

     With the realization of a person’s sensitivity, I never ask another person how old they are or what they do for a living. But I have such questions constantly thrust upon me by younger people at the first opportunity. I always smiled and said nothing.

     As a qualified doctor you would agree with me that our brains are not only our most valuable asset to advance or do ourselves in during Life as recent events in our beloved Malaysia have shown us. The functions of the brain to this day have still not fully reveal its secrets governing vital functions in our bodies.

     We know important hormones are secreted to facilitate the functions normally from its cells both in the grey and white matter. The reason for this knowledge barrier is simply that we cannot experiment with a human being’s brains. And as you rightly said the best we can do is to keep the juice (hormone) flowing normally by being active.

     This has proved effective and correct in your case. We see many become aged at 40 and many at 50 onwards. Sometimes, we pin this down to our genes. But nothing more. No one really knows why some age faster than others. So we can only do what is best under our own control which you have stipulated, Tun !

     With a simple understanding of the brain, we can map out the course of our health and longevity accordingly.

     From my own experience and that of others, I found our brains performed best between 18 to 30 years. It is reported that geniuses produced their best works during this age. From 30 to 50, our mental faculties are on a gentle downward slope together with our physical activities. This is the moment when all of us think we are Supermen ! A steeper mental and physical downward gentle spiral occurred from 50 to 72. At this point, the loss of mental abilities and physical attributes take a sharper down turn. There is no escaping this route by anyone.

     But for those like you Tun who knew how to keep the brain healthy and strong, the functions of the brain still could be maintained at a high level comparatively.

     Like you Tun, who can maintain a highly level of discipline,commonsense sobriety, frugality in our every day living and in our diet and think of goodness all the time ?

     No smoking. No gambling, no drinking, No over-eating. No late nights etc In the main, a normal human being would have thought nothing of it. Hence, the doctors knowing the frailty of Humankind always without fail advise their patients that they can do everything but do not abuse the privilege. Practice what they preach as it is said.

     And finally, who would know how to keep oneself fit and healthy from age 21 onwards ? Not many. Only the doctors.

     A good example is the articles produced by you here Tun and those incoherent driblets by HBT456. The difference between a good brain and a bad one is the QUALITY OF ITS LIFE ! No more. No less.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always ! I will be buying a RED National Car in 2020 ! That’s what my brain told me yesterday, Tun !

445. Siapa nak jadi PM ?
     Apa tujuan Niat anda sebenar ?
     Ini ukuran nya disamping kebijaksanaan , amanah , berakhlak , berani kerana benar ,berani mengatakan tidak ,berani membuat perubahan dan pelbagai lagi

     Adakah ciri ini kita lihat ada pada Anuar yg kita lihat ada pada Tun Mahathir
     Apakah niat Anuar sebenar ?

     Tun berjanji pada Anuar
     Kami rakyat Malaysia tidak berjanji pada sesiapa

     Jika benar niat Anuar Tulin dan Ikhlas
     Maka Malaysia akan menentukan

446. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun,

     ANWAR 789 —-> TPM ke 13..?

     MANJANYA ANWAR..

     Langkah bijak politik dari ayahanda Tun apabila memilih untuk turun ke padang membantu bekas TPM ke 7 yang menghadapi pertandingan 7 penjuru di PRK PD.

     Walaupun mengikut fakta sewaktu ayahanda Tun menjadi Pengerusi BN beberapa dekad lalu tidak pernah pula turun berkempen untuk mana2 PRK.

     Inilah kes Anwar minta dimanjakan terlebih pulak, sudahlah diampunkan begitu sahaja sekarang mahu didokong pula bekas TPM ke 7 ini ke laluan PM ke 8 di negeri 9..

     Sekian.

     p/s :
     Bisa MP tapi PM belum bisa.

     Peringatan : TPM ke 13 sila abaikan.

447. Dont feel bad for this mca since you have done your best to bring malaysia to where we are today.

     Yup, we are alawys pendatang to them eventhough we have been in here for few generations.

     Therefore, jangan pandang, jangan marah mahupun hasut.

     In terms of numbers, we have already loose out.

     Therefore, dont waste time in begging here and there to maintain the chinese language.

     Jika mereka mahu bagi, then be grateful.

     Jika mereka tak mahu bagi, we can always learn ourselves.

     Why?

     Being a chinese who cant write their names in han language, it means a shame as chinese.

448. Salam YAB dan DiSanjungi PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,

     1. Bagi golongan yang betul2 faham erti Demokrasi, mereka bukan jenis yang suka buat kacau/ merusuh, atau sikit2 mahu tunjuk perasaan di khalayak umum jika tidak puas hati dengan apa saja isu.

     2. Rakyat yang matang dan boleh berfikir secara logik sedar dan tahu bahawa Kerajaan (Malaysia) boleh ditukar secara aman damai melalui Pilihanraya Umum (PRU). Undi kita amat berharga.

     3. Pada pendapat saya, Tun berjaya menerapkan banyak nilai2 murni di jiwa rakyat jelata semasa Tun menjadi PM ke-4 selama lebih 22 tahun. Salah satu nilai murni tersebut ialah agar rakyat tidak sesuka hati berdemo secara haram dan menyusahkan orang lain, kerana setiap kali ada demonstrasi jalanan, banyak orang yang tidak berdosa mengalami kerugian (jalan sesak, bisnes terganggu, etc). Kerosakan harta awam turut merugikan Kerajaan. (Tetapi Tun pula telah pernah berdemo 🙁 .. nasib baik didikan baik Tun masih dipegang oleh majoriti rakyat.)

     4. Kerana kejayaan Tun mendidik majoriti rakyat Malaysia untuk menghargai keamanan yang kita ada, peralihan kuasa selepas PRU14 berjalan dengan baik, dan pihak yang kalah tidak melakukan huru-hara. Bodohlah orang yang menafikan hakikat bahawa kesedaran majoriti rakyat (termasuk pihak yang kalah) tentang pentingnya menerima kekalahan dengan hati terbuka banyak menyumbang kepada peralihan kuasa secara aman.

     5. Tentang PRK PD, saya harap Tun fikir kembali (batalkan saja) tentang rancangan Tun untuk turun berkempen di PD bagi menyatakan sokongan kepada Anwar Ibrahim. Tun tidak perlu terlibat dengan PRK PD yang dari segi moral memang tidak patut berlaku.

     6. Lagi satu, antara bekas PM Najib dan Anwar, kita tidak boleh jangka siapa yang lebih teruk (sebagai PM). Pada pemerhatian saya, DSAI akan jadi PM yang lebih teruk (dari DSN). Kita lihat sahaja nanti (jika Allah izinkan DSAI menjadi PM). Mungkin ada hikmahnya jika DSAI menjadi PM supaya apa yang digembar-gemburkan tentang kehebatan beliau boleh beliau buktikan (tong kosong saja dia ni…).

     7. Anwar belum pernah jadi PM. Tun mana boleh jangka apa yang beliau boleh lakukan selepas menjawat jawatan PM. Dulupun Tun menyokong bekas PM Najib, dan kita lihat apa yang berlaku. Tun sendiri pun terkejut dengan kerakusan bekas PM Najib. Saya harap Tun tidak melakukan satu lagi kesilapan yang (lebih) besar di mana Tun tersilap menilai perangai seseorang yang Tun sokong untuk jadi PM. Jika Tun tersilap lagi, habislah kita…

     Terima kasih Tun.

     – Semoga Allah SWT sentiasa merahmati Tun sekeluarga –

449. https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/446187

     It is indeed good news to mca, and thank you for kicking out mca from barisan nasional, so that the chinese voters will not be the punching bag again and again for the mubarakchans and the gangs.

     Now the mubarakchans and pakatan harapan can eat the chocolate all by themselves.

     Yup, when leaders felt they no longer have the luxury of time, mereka pasti akan kocoh sini, kocoh sana.

     No worries, in less than 5 years, there will be another general election called.

     Mca too, will not go for hard landing.

     Boleh means boleh.

     Tak boleh means tak boleh.

450. Good evening Tun!

     Wah banyak betul kerja rumah kena buat hari ini. I ada dengar sosek sosek Tun dah ada cybertropper, kalau ada kosong I nak apply, boleh?

     Sempena election PD ini banyak betul cakap2 kat media massa. Kalau Tun tanya I, jika mengundi di PD, nak undi Anwar, tak? Pantas I jawab, Tidak.

     I sebagai yang tak mengundi disana boleh bagi banyak alasan kenapa I tidak akan undi Anwar.

     1. TIADA TANDA SYUKUR : Ketika baru keluar dari penjara, Anwar terus naik pentas, siap cium tangan sendiri (ada keluar dalam news portal) mengajar LGE macam mana jadi Minister of Finance. Anehnya disini kenapa Anwar tidak buat doa selamat, panggil orang masjid, kenduri di rumah. Bukan kah itu sering dibuat orang Melayu beragama Islam, tambahan bila usia dah meningkat senja.

     2. TIADA TANDA BERIBADAT : Kenapa dibulan puasa, isteri beliau pernah sebut nak pergi masjid bersama (ada keluar dalam news portal) tapi yang I nampak Amwar pergi overseas instead. Bukankah baik jika mereka berdua pergi masjid dalam bulan yang mulia, kalau tiada ada masa pun, sekali sekala bersama, especially umur mereka dah meningkat senja.

     3. TIDAK BIJAK JAWAB : Kenapa semasa disoal, samada beliau homo. Tiada jawapan terus dan lurus diberi. Anehkan, bagi seorang yang sering bercakap bagai seorang sastarawan negara ketika dipentas dan khalayak ramai.

     Namun ada juga sebab2 lain I dengar kenapa ramai rasa beliau tidak layak jadi PM, rasanya tak penting I tulis lagi, sebab online dah ada.

     Kawan2 hubby pula kata sebab kocoh. Kocoh nak keluar penjara. Kocoh nak jadi MP. Lepas ini mesti kocoh nak jadi DPM. Lepas itu kocoh nak jadi PM pula. Serba macam kocoh pun akan ada nanti.

     Sebab terlalu kocoh maka ada macam2 kes, termasuk full and free pardon dipertikaikan ramai. I tak blame agong, I bet someone lobbied for the royal pardon; must be LGE or DPM or both.

     Anwar no Nelson Mandela. Nelson Mandela makan 4 tahun baru tanding.

     That’s all I can say. Tun boleh cuba bantu, pilihan still ditangan rakyat. Biarlah pilihan kali ini bersih, cekap dan amanah.

451. Assalamualaikum Tun,

     I would like to comment something that has been on my mind ever since Pakatan Harapan won the election. Being a politician you may have noticed this too. When Pakatan Harapan won, it caught everyone by surprise. Najib and his co-conspirators took time to absorb the result, which resulted in the delay of the GE result announcement, but in the end they had to accept the will of the rakyat. However, that didn’t stop them from making certain maneuvers.

     If Pakatan Harapan is to win, they had to accept, but it is one they cannot accept is Tun Mahathir becoming the Prime Minister again. They had caused too wrong to Tun, and Tun knows all their evil deeds. If they had won the GE, our beloved nation would have been destroyed.

     Their thinking was, yes, Pakatan had won the election, but as at least let’s not make Tun Mahathir Prime Minister again.

     And so, the first thing we heard was the phone call by Najib to Anwar on the day the GE result was announced. Najib wanted to make a deal with Anwar, since PKR won the most seats among the Pakatan parties. But Anwar would have none of this, he told Najib to deal with Mahathir.

     And then, there was the pardon. The speed at which Anwar was given a full pardon was amazing. Would Anwar have been given a full pardon, if BN had won the election?

     And then, there were talks that someone wanted Kak Wan to become the Prime Minister, since again on the basis the GE was won on PKR logo and therefore the offer to be PM should be given the President of PKR. Again Kak Wan declined on the basis it was agreed among the coalition for Tun to become Prime Minister.

     And recently the UMNO AGM, there was again talks of a unity government, between UMNO and PKR, which was again dismissed.

     Even the PD election, in which Anwar is contesting, UMNO decided not to contest.

     There is a sense of so much fear from the other camp not from Pakatan Harapan but from Tun Mahathir. And there is a sense Anwar will be their savior from Tun Mahathir.

     As for Anwar, he must realise, the other camp, wanting so much to friend and cosying up to him, I believe, is not out of really want to be nice to him, but more out of fear of Tun. They hope, when Anwar becomes the 8th Prime Minister, Anwar won’t be harsh to them, as Tun might. Anwar must understand, Tun governed as he did, because what if what they did, was a terrible sin, they betrayed the rakyat and the nation.

     My hope is when Anwar becomes the Prime Minister, he would not be influenced by their cosying up. A wrong is still a wrong, and they must be held accountable for what they did to the rakyat and the nation. My hope is even after Tun, Pakatan Harapan would continue to uphold the rule of law and justice.

     Let this be a lesson to everyone not to betray the trust of the rakyat and the nation.

452. Assalamualaikum Tun.

     Sistem nilai masyarakat perlu dibetulkan dahulu sebelum kita membetulkan sistem mentadbir.

     Samada diktator, demokrasi atau monarki pemimpin perlu disokong oleh rakyat.

     Penolakan oleh rakyat terhadap pemimpin tertinggi negara secara liar akan mengakibatkan kejadian yang tidak aman serta berlakunya pergolakan dalam negara.

     Malaysia berpegang pada Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah. Kita mengikut Imam As Syafie.

     Kita diterapkan dengan nilai nilai sistem yang bersopan santun dan berbudi bahasa.

     Saya tidak melihat tujuan untuk menukar pemimpin itu sebagai sukaria. Kita perlu menjustifikasikan kenapa kita perlu melakukan pertukaran.

     Ia perlu mengikut Al Quran, Hadith dan Ijtimak Ulama.

     Samada anda diktator, demokrasi atau monarki, Islam melarang keras untuk mengulingkan pemimpin. Ini kerana dibimbangi huru hara akan berlaku.

     Huru hara bukanlah ditakuti oleh kita, akan tetapi huru hara itu adalah kesan dari bunuh membunuh di antara satu sama lain, bagi yang menentang dan ditentang.

     Alhamdulillah kita beruntung kerana pernah ditunjukkan jalan oleh Allah swt dalam perkara ini.

     Kita punyai sedikit kelebihan dalam perkara ini, dan ia telah kita gunakan serta telah terbukti bahawa ia beroleh kejayaan. Iaitu kita melalui jalan piihanraya sistem demokrasi. Kita menang 2/3.

     Adalah tugas Tun sekarang untuk mengukuhkan lagi sistem nilai masyarakat.

     Sistem nilai yang betul akan melahirkan lebih ramai pemimpin yang berkaliber pada masa hadapan, walaupun sekarang kelihatan bakal bakal pemimpin pun tunggang langgang sekali.

     Pegangan Ahli Sunnah Wal Jamaah telah dibuktikan benar. Ia adalah hanya 1 yang benar dari 72 cabang yang ada.

     Kita perlu mengukuhkan lagi dan terus mempertahankannya.

     Terima kasih Tun.

453. Yup, no one can buy power with money forever, henceforth, general election must be called.

     Mubarakchan can continue with all the bullshits of this and that.

     The most stupid leaders in this country is the chinese.

     The most pampered leaders in this country is the malay.

     The most clever leaders in this country is the indian.

     Banjir pun tak dapat disetel, even when pas vowed with gergasi keris to potong kek pulut pun tarak guna.

     When racism can make you rich, what shall you do?

     Tepuk dada?

     Tanya selera?

454. Assalamualaikum Tun,

     Democracy or whatever system designed championed by countries all the world over are man-made. Anything man-made are with flaws and defects, can be cracked and breached to insulate or cover-up a damaged situation. This is nothing unusual because it has happened whereby intelligent but corrupted persons linked to the government are hand-picked and engaged to be collaborators. Crooks preferred crooks. But as usual nothing good comes easy. Tun is attacked for speaking out and criticizing on violence, oppression, injustice, abuse of power, sufferings, disrespect perpetrated by countries claimed to be democratic and have huge super powers. So glad Tun has shown this beloved country the bright road to eradicate crook-nose, hook-nose and the corrupt.

     Is there a situation in PD, Tun that you need to go down there? Do you have to response to their SOS? Will the situation be any better if you helped out? Of course it would if you go as the PM of Malaysia it would be a great boost to their side but would it be fair, Tun? DSAI has everything needed, funds, bodyguards, government machinery but he still need Tun to help in the campaign. If he couldn’t handle this situation himself and bring success single-handed without direct support from Tun how were we to hand this country to him? This PD move is their idea so they should work extra pretty hard fair and square to woo bigger votes and win. Don’t drag Tun and then blame Tun if things go the opposite.

     Anyway, Tun this talk about “quarreling” it’s too trivial as an excuse. I mean people do talk, slander and gossip so if politicians who are good inside out this should not damage their reputation too much. As you said thick-skinned politicians can tackle and withstand anything that is obviously a sham. If you have to, Tun just do little little only. Don’t stressed out yourself, Tun. Let the people who created this so brilliant move run the entire show themselves till the very end. Sincerely I wish them luck.

     May Allah bless Tun always and protect Tun wherever you might be. May Allah give you great wealth in health so you can lead us for many many years to come, InsyaAllah. Take extra care of your safety and Thank you Tun.

455. As long as race and religion supremacies are being play again and again, there will be no solutions for short and long terms.

     Bak kata bagi bukit emas pun tarak guna.

     Jangan kata ah choo takut, nanti ah kow pun lari.

456. Tun

     The day began with a fantastic morning. The sky was completely cloudless with a tinge of pale orange in the eastern horizon which according to my beloved mother who told me when I was a boy that the following day will be nice and dry, no rain. So much for the state of our weather in this country which we were born in and grown to love except for some misled souls turned by brainwashing.

     So much for the fine weather and lack of natural disasters in this wonderful land of ours since eon times. However, our newspaper headlines do not match with the wonderful weather we always have. And this morning as I slurped in my wonderful RM 3 nasi lemak and poured over the headlines, this was what struck me hard in my eyeballs, the bad headlines :-

     1. FT. ” WIFE OF FORMER PRIME MINISTER CHARGED WITH MONEY LAUNDERING.’

     2. FMT ” PENSIONS, HEALTHCARE COSTS MORE PRIORITY THAN RM 1 TRILLION DEBT.”

     3. NST ” PM. WE’LL LOOK INTO FAULTY BUOYS ”

     4. NST.” NUCLEAR POWER IS OUR GREEN FUTURE ”

     5. NST.” HEROES “.

     As a group of headlines with a collective meaning, these show the state of affairs concerning NORMAL BEHAVIOUR, COMMONSENSE AND RULES WERE MISSING IN PRACTICE.

     1. ” WIFE OF FORMER PRIME MINISTER CHARGED WITH MONEY LAUNDERING.”

     Where else but Malaysia ? Where else the wife of a Prime Minister could have access to so much money as to launder it whilst the husband was in the office of the Prime Minister, mixing up PUBLIC MONEY WITH HER HOUSEKEEPING MONEY ! Where were the rules and regulations governing the behaviour of a Prime Minister who was elected as the paradigm statesman of the country by all concerned. And here, his wife is alleged to be dipping her hand into lots and lots of Public money as charged. The First in the World to make it to the Guinness Book of World Records. Where else but Malaysia ? She would have well spent her time laundering her family clothes instead of doing big business LAUNDERING MONEY BELONGING TO THE RAKYAT ! Like this, she would be happy today like you and me, Tun ! And on second thought, how could this gentleman be the Prime Minister when a situation like this arose ?

     2. FMT.” PENSIONS, HEALTHCARE COSTS MORE PRIORITY THAN THE RM 1 TRILLION DEBT.”

     The Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government walloped the revenues up-front and neglected the payment of recurrent expenditures like salaries, pensions, healthcare, education, social welfare and maintenance of the military as well. The One Trillion ringgits are still sitting in the overseas bank accounts of the crooks and ALL EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE TO RETRIEVE THEM NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT OR HOW LONG THESE WILL TAKE.

     3. NST. ” PM. WE’LL LOOK INTO FAULTY BUOYS. ”

     This statement arose out of the dire neglect of the security maritime deep sea buoys deployed to give warning of tsunamis to come in the adjacent areas near the sea. This statement should not have been made by the Prime Minister who has more important things to consider than maritime buoys.

     This showed the dire neglect by the Corrupt and Uncaring BN Government who walloped so much Public Money for themselves that the Public Coffers are empty to service routine Recurrent Expenditures. Not only that, it is legend that the military equipment or other mechanical devices or vehicles which the Federal Government bought through the decades always broke down after a period due to the lack of follow-up and routine maintenance. Warships lie idle in ports. Submarines do not submerge. V-100 or tanks do not move. Jets do not fly.

     The New and Incorruptible Government has plenty to do in their hands.

     TAKE THE CASE OF THE DBKL. NOT ONLY ARE THEY FAMOUS FOR MAKING BUMPS ALL OVER FOR THOUSANDS OF RINGGITS EACH, BUT THE GREEN SPACES ALONG THE BY-WAYS AND HIGHWAYS ARE PLANTED WITH ALL SORTS OF FLOWERING BUSHES WHICH NEEDS CONSTANT WATERING AND TRIMMING (MANPOWER) AND THIS APPLIES TO THE WHOLE OF KL. How much money is wasted in the maintenance of flora only SUITABLE FOR THE GARDEN OF A HOUSE. MILLIONS OF RINGGITS OF PUBLIC FUNDS ARE WASTED IN THE PLANTING OF MORE AND MORE FLORA OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS. And the maintenance if any which goes with it. AND WHERE IS THE MONEY TO MAINTAIN SALARIES, PENSIONS, HEALTHCARE ETC.

     Since some folks are so crazy admiring LEE KUAN YEW, I suggest they GO AND ADMIRE HOW LEE KUAN YEW TURNED SINGAPORE INTO A GARDEN CITY WITH THE RIGHT SORT OF PLANTS AT MINIMUM COST ! This is only one area which LEE KUAN YEW TOWERS OVER DBKL IN TERMS OF SAVING MONEY AND NOT WASTING MONEY IN CORRUPTION TERMS. Has the DBKL heard of Lee Kuan Yew creepers and bourgainvillas the perennial flowering plants ?

     4. NST. ” NUCLEAR POWER IS OUR GREEN FUTURE.” Is this a joke ?

     You are correct in completely dismissing the use of NUCLEAR POWER IN OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA.

     The Author of the article went on and on dreamily in his ivory tower quoting the likes of Bill Gates and Western personalities from another World about the goodness and the sweetness of NUCLEAR POWER.

     Maybe the Author was not born in the 1980s yet when there was a mighty power breakdown in Bangsar. It was alleged a Dutch boy was despatched from ye olde Singapore to turn on or off the right switch as the saying goes.

     Not only that a struggling contractor who inveigled himself via a draughtsman to touch base with the source became handsomely rich from a lush contract to generate power to this day. Who says the Chinese are disadvantaged. Maybe by those who do not use their brains but their mouths.

     And the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster in Russia. My brother flew over it in 1988 and died of leukaemia in 1992. There have been disasters concerning nuclear plants in the US and the UK which have been covered up.

     In the recent Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster about 200 miles from Tokyo, the Western countries advised their citizens to avoid travelling to Tokyo. This was followed by advertisements encouraging tourists to visit Japan put up by the Japanese Government. So far all the NUCLEAR POWER DISASTERS HAVE OCCURRED IN LARGE COUINTRIES WITH LARGE POPULATIONS.

     IF SUCH A NUCLEAR DISASTER HAPPENS IN MALAYSIA, ALL MALAYSIANS WILL BE WIPED OUT, THE MALAYS, THE CHINESE, THE INDIANS AND ALL. NOT ONLY THIS SINGAPORE WILL BE DESTROYED, AND INDONESIA, THAILAND, CAMBODIA AND VIETNAM DISABLED. Thanks to the happy-go-lucky Malaysians who do not care about maintenance of their equipment or procedures.

     ALL MALAYSIANS WOULD HAVE GONE FOR 5,000 YEARS, DEAR AUTHOR !

     I predict ALL OF ASEAN WILL OBJECT TO MALAYSIA PUTTING UP A NUCLEAR PLANT. THEY WOULD BE STUPID NOT TO. TO STOP THIS ABSURD PROJECT FULL OF CORRUPTION.

     Yes ! Corruption in Malaysia will also affect the NUCLEAR PLANT BECAUSE OF NEPOTISM, NO MONEY TO EMPLOY PUKKA PERSONAL, NO MONEY TO KEEP THE NUCLEAR PLANT IN A TIP-TOP CONDITION FROM OVER-HEATING. 1001 things will make THE MALAYSIAN NUCLEAR PLANT BLOW UP TO KILL THE 31 MILLION MALAYSIANS, THE MALAYS, THE CHINESE, THE INDIANS AND ALL FOR 5,000 YEARS.

     And the Author without thought that present day Malaysia is contributing to the Green World because of our still standing forests. And also China and America, maybe India still ignore the Green, Green World with their populations of 2.8 Billions compared with Malaysia’s miniscule 31 Millions. Dear Author the World has globalised since 1990 !

     THE NUCLEAR PLANT CAN ONLY APPEAR IN MALAYSIA BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION. NO MORE. NO LESS. AND ASEAN WILL OBJECT.

     5. NST. ” HEROES “. I offer my heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the bereaved families of the HEROES. An event which should not have happened given the circumstances.

     It is a well-known fact that disused mining ponds in Malaysia are death-traps for all, swimmers or non-swimmers. The ponds are deep with steep sides and cold water. There is no foot-hold if a person jumps into the cold water which freezes up the body. These are all death-traps to the unwary. For 6 firemen to be caught in such a situation, it seems there was a slip somewhere when the first victim had already gone under sometime before this. I suppose other factors would have saved the day. Our main concern now is to prevent further mishaps and LOOK AFTER THEIR FAMILIES WELL.

     The above-mentioned collection of neglect, the lack of maintenance of equipment and corruption due to the neglect of rules and regulations is a collection of bug-bears facing any Government and not least of all the New and Incorruptible Government of the old and the young, the good and the great as led by our Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

     I would say the function of khazanah is similar to tumasek of singapore.

     The difference is khazanah connects themselves to muslim countries in the middle-east due to o & gas industry to make the biggest halal hubs in financial and manufacturing sectors via 1mdb and felda global in south east asia with a population of 30 million including sabah and sarawak.

     On the hand, tumasek singapore connects themselves to the world’s top cities based on merits and world standards with 6 million plus population.

     The late lky did mention, the local politics have too much arab influences.

     Even the melayu also feel alienated, you think other races do not feel this way?

     If you are not a muslim syariah mps, will you be able serve willingly by forcing you to follow the lifestyle of muslim?

     Itulah sebabnya umno bn tertumpang keranamu malaysia pada 9 mei 2018.

     Yup, this show all systems can fail if the owners made the wrong decision, but the country name is still malaysia.

     We cannot change the past, but we definitely can improve in the future.

     P/s: 6 anggota pdrm mati lemas to save a life, and those senators involved and igp needs to address this problem in the public as pdrm is public civil servants under malaya federation on why this happened, and how to prevent it from happening, not by sekadar baca doa, then, the case is closed.

458. This apply to asian mahupun south east asia region.

     For those who cannot accept and respect other races, then, they must stay in kampung and jaga their own kampung.

     So much domestic social crimes, what so you do as the misnitry concern?

     Changing law is very tough and difficult because no one can see the impact in the long run, therefore, law shouldnt be changed just to favor someone, or political party.

     To be or not to be, that is not the question.

     Able or not, we will see how far kita semua can go.

459. The definition of tolerate is to accept behaviour and beliefs that are different from your own, although you might not agree with or approve of them.

     The law that is passed and approved by the majority of the mps based on tolerance, then, the ultimate result is tidak kukuh, atau ultra.

     After so many years of doing hardtalk and softtalk, there dont seem to be a political, economic or social solutions, henceforth, programmes are here to bring malaysians of all races to reach a common goal, bukan?

     The key word to move forward is INTEGRATION of all races, bukan force assimilation mahupun soft assimilation of ketuanan melayu mahupun ketuanan islam based on vote counts whereby winner takes all.

     Everyone is aware agong and states’s sultan are malay, and the official religion of malaysia ia islam.

     Therefore, no need to continue playing with these issues again and again, dah merdeka more than 6 decades, cucu cicit pun ada, tak cukup lagi ke?

460. Tun

     At this time of a person’s Life, shall we say we have seen it all. Really Tun ? With us Humankind nothing is surprising, nothing is beyond expectations. That’s Humankind for you and me. Round and round we go about our lives in Politics, Sports, Science, Wars, Inventing things or whatever through the centuries from the time of long ago when we all were supposed to be disparate tribes wearing loin cloths if not skins.

     Humankind despite their civilizations are no better than the animals in the jungle or the African wild, killing each other for space. The killing has never stopped since the beginning of Humankind. The history of Humankind is a history of wars, conquests and more killings. The creation of kingdoms and empires in different times and places. Through the centuries of wars and strifes, Humankind had only known peace under despots which came one after another in different regions in most parts of the World even the Incas in the Americas have them – the despots.

     Suddenly arising from all the sword and the blood of civilised Humankind, we chanced upon 19th Century Britain which by then had absorbed the Irish, the Welsh and the Scots through conquests by the wily English. With the centuries of strife and bloodshed in their quest for Power and to Rule over others, the British did not create the Mother of all Parliaments but the realisation of debates and majority Rule was the way to go in the pursuit of Success and Wealth in Britain’s 19th Century Industrialization. This boom was great at the expense of the poor masses and the newly conquered colonies of the World. The Wealth so engendered can still be seen in the huge estates with magnificent palaces dotting the countryside of Britain. Sometimes abandoned or still lived in. That was the result of sorting out politics on an even plane to face the World of Britain’s foes or rivals to create an Empire which the World had never seen before and on which the Sun never sets. The Power of Democracy in Britain’s self or National Interest. The other countries of the World later developed the same political forums not for fun but of Survival of the Fittest with a strong underbelly after realising that the Kings or Queens who ruled them were mainly ineffective or devoid of ideas having been corrupted by Power and Wealth. In other words, two heads are better than one.

     Like a tiny seedling in a primeval forest, this Democracy of the Mother of All Parliaments grew in lands far away as the panaceas to rule by despots, kings or dictators. The Rule by the Majority. Some succeeded in Europe but crooks like Hitler could manipulate Democracy for his purpose and others like him as well. Throughout the 20th Century, Democracy struggled to establish itself in many countries. With the collapse of the British Empire, the British left different manner of Democracy in different lands arising from their demographic manipulations like importing East Indians to Guiana, South Africa, Malaya ,and Chinese to South Africa, Australia, Malaya to fill their commercial needs. At Independence or Merdeka of these former colonies, a Constitution created to tailor fit for each ex-Colony. Many failed thereafter due to the usual excess and abuses of Humankind.

     Malaysia I would now say the Lucky Land, escaped the wanton excesses and abuses by her governing Rulers right up to 2003 because the first four Prime Ministers were well prepared and selected for the job to Rule the Rakyat. They were intelligent too. The fifth, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is exceptional in that he had to be brilliant to be able to qualify as a DOCTOR to save lives. How to save lives ? Years of study and practice using one’s brains with discipline and controlled emotions. a DOCTOR CANNOT BE SEEN CRYING IN FRONT OF A DYING PATIENT WHOM HE WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ! Right ? With a highly intelligent and trained mind which absorbed all details plus his doctor’s little book, nothing escaped his scrutiny. However, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was a giant in the making. He had weaknesses which the wily CLOSEST AIDES EXPLOITED HIM. His greatest weakness is his COMPASSION AND THE ETERNAL DESIRE TO HELP OTHER ALWAYS. All doctors have these traits which are good for doctors and prime ministers BUT NOT THE ATTRIBUTES FOR MAKING A HUGE FORTUNE which requires different human attributes. So, when Tun admitted he made some mistakes, I truly and sincerely believed him.

     From 1957 to 2003, our beloved Malaysia’s unique Malaysian style Democracy with a Malay bias and our loyalty and devotion to the Constitution, our Yang Di Pertuan Agong abd the Royal Sultans rested with the Head of the Federal Government, the Prime Minister.

     IN THEM, THE PRIME MINISTERS OF MALAYSIA 1957-2003 WE TRUSTED. THEY DELIVERED THEIR HONESTY, CARE AND LEADERSHIP TO US THE RAKYAT. We have always been not stupid or subservient but through our own natural Asian courtesies and respect for the advice of Elders and accommodation between different communities , we Malaysians tend to be more docile in the eyes of the foreigners. Not so. History has shown us to be tolerant and patient with crisis and problems and not to rush to the streets burning, killing and raping.

     9 May 2018 GE WAS A GREAT PROBLEM OR CRISIS SAVER FOR US MALAYSIANS BY WAY OF OUR MALAYSIAN STYLE DEMOCRACY – our civilised way. IT ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE WE HAD THE RIGHT LEADER IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME ! Others have failed in their efforts to capture Putrajaya since 1997 ! Let us all remember for our own sake’s in the National Interest. We must never forget significant milestones in our beloved Malaysia’s colourful history.

     AND WHEN THE LEADERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT PRACTISE DEMOCRACY BUT ONLY PAY LIP-SERVICE TO IT FROM 2004 TO 2018, the only device legitimately and in acivilised manner was to kick out the recalcitrant via our Malaysian Style Democracy with a Malay bias – the BUMIPUTRA AFFIRMATIVE POLICIES to uplift all to an even playing field. This bit of Democracy was actually what made our beloved Malaysia ticked all these years amongst others as promised by one Prime Minister after another but lost its meaning between 2004 to 2018 due to greed, weakness of the flesh and the soft underbelly COMPOUNDED BY SHADY FOREIGN TYPES IN SUITS READY TO EXPLOIT ANY WEAKNESS OF THE MALAYSIAN LEADERSHIP WHICH WAS PLENTY BETWEEN 2004-2018.

     Democracy survived in our beloved Malaysia. Cynically, Democracy saved itself with the right Leadership. Thanks to our courageous and brilliant Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Be a doctor to be sure of becoming the Prime Minister of Malaysia one distant day.

     Malaysia Boleh Tun as always !

461. Dictator means saddam hussein needed to be mean, heartless and ruthless in killingthose rivals who opposed him during the 70s.

     Meaning people including his relatives were afraid of him, not because they respect and accept him as leader.

     The 1st female prime misnister of pakistan benazir bhutto, a muslim, was assasinated.

     The closet muslim legal aide of myanmmar prime minister ang sang suu kyi was being assasinated few years back in broad day light, if you are in her shoes, how will you feel?

     Even when north and south korea united, 2 political system will still be there for many generations to come, that is north korea remains as 1 party system, and south korea remain is a multi-party systems.

     We have gone through so many ugly politically propagated protests, jika masih tak cukup hodoh lagi, then, they really have to ask themselves again, are they not good enough, or are they not rich enough?

     To open up, or to nail the coffin, it is up to them to decide.

     Even when we know the truth, thats nothing we can do jika mereka tak rasa segan mahupun insaf.

     P/s: kini mana ada orang pakai cd rom punya, mereka tak tahu apakah fungsi pdf ke?

462. Assalamualaikum Tun,

     Democracy is a means, it is not an end. We don’t apply democracy for the sake of democracy. We can see how democracy have affected many middle east countries. For example Iraq, where the President Saddam, was seen as a dictator. The western powers dispose of him and installed democracy to Iraq. But did the Iraqi people benefited from this democracy? On daily basis, we can read news on Iraq like suicide bombings, secterial attacks between Syiah and Sunni, etc, etc. Has democracy benefited the Iraqis? Clearly it has not. Where are the Americans and British who said they disposed Saddam to make Iraq a better country now that Iraq is in state of chaos? Even though Saddam maybe a dictator, at least he brought progress to the Iraqi, at least there was no fighting between Sunni and Syiah. So I agree with Tun, we don’t practice democracy for the sake of democracy. It does not mean if every country in the world adopt a democractic system, the world will be a better place.

     However, for Malaysia, we were fortunate we had a democractic system. But democractice system alone is not sufficient. The voters must also know how to use the democractic powers given to them. And we needed a coalition of parties led by a strong leader to convince the voters to vote for the right party.

     During Najib as Prime Minister, alot of things was thrown at him but failed. The 4 Tan Sri to investigate the 1MDB scandal was disbanded, the audit report was classified as Official Secrets documents, some newspapers had their licenses revoked or suspended, Bersatu was suspended before the election,Harapan registeration was in limbo, corporate company’s that funded the opposition was investigated for income tax, etc, etc.

     He was able to dodge everything thrown at him. Not only that, those who investigated him was eather replaced or faced criminal charges for “attempting to topple a democratically elected government”.

     When all hope seems but lost, during GE 14, the people rose and used their voting powers to change the government. It was a miracle, nobody, even the oppositions, deep in their hearts thought possible. Only and only then, was Najib defeated.

     So democracy does work, as in the case of Malaysia for the GE 14, but it does also have its shortcomings, and does not necessarily work for all nations of the world.

463. Good evening Tun!

     I baca berita ini 2 hari yang lalu https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2018/10/01/hannah-defends-views-after-getting-roasted-in-sarawak/

     Kalau tanya I mana yang salah. Dua2 pun salah.

     Satu nak Malaysia Baru. But the Malaysia Baru masih ada ramai rakyat dalamnya tak reti cakap Bahasa Melayu dengan fasih. Malah ada yang tak nak iktiraf Bahasa Melayu sebagai Bahasa Penghantaran. Kalau kita ingat baru2 ini ada berita Sultan Johor menegur tentang kegunaan bahasa.

     Indonesia, Filipina, Vietnam, semua tempat ini ada keturunan China, tapi mereka fasih bahasa negara mereka, tak sama macam di Malaysia.

     The other pihak pula Sarawak for Sarawakians. Ini lagi best dia panggil kita disini Malaya. Dulu I pergi Miri pun mereka panggil I orang Semenanjung sama macam orang Brunei panggil I orang Semenanjung. Memang some masih panggil Malaya. That was like 7 8 years ago.

     Perlu ingat Malaysia dah Merdeka 61 tahun.

464. A sad day for Malaysia today. Our beloved icon Datin Sri Rosmah Mansor has been detained and will be charged tomorrow. What have you done.

     She is supposed to be above the law you know. We allowed her to have so much money and to spend. The more she spends the more dignity she brings to us as our icon.

     Dignity of a race has been raped by those who only understand the rules as they are written. It is beyond the written rules and laws. The silent codes that must be respected and never violated that these people can never understand.

465. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun,

     A DICTATOR WHO CRIES

     Well said ayahanda Tun..

     You were the only dictator who cries to resign..

     You were an ex-dictator who cries pledging the rakyat to oust the Cash is King Dictator..

     And now you are the only dictator who is talking about democracy.. 🙂

     We are so amuse so to speak dear Sir!

     p/s : You cries for the coolness of the rakyat’s eyes, ayahanda Tun.

466. Good morning dearest Tun

     One of the foundations of democracy is the assumption that all votes are equal. Well, that’s the theory—but in fact it is rarely so (more on that later).

     In a democracy, tribal mentality is very dangerous, because it will make you vote “for your team” instead of voting according to issues. That means that whoever leads “your team” can rest assured that they have your vote, and instead of focusing on your interests, they can proceed to deal with their own. You can see that a lot in UMNO or even in big offices, bila cakap kat manager, manager tak pass kat management, your agenda tong sampah, his agenda in 🙂

     Well, nothing is perfect in this world. We just try to get along with each other. If we can’t, avoid it la. You can migrate also, nobody tahan you. Unless hutang bertimbun ada court case maybe susah la. At least dalam democracy system ada pertukaran leaders but in communist system tiada. A leader can be forever there sampai mati. China for example. The danger for them to do business with negara2 democracy also masaalah, the leaders in those countries keep on changing, at least 5 years.

     Terlanjur bercakap pasal business, I nak share story ini, I pernah ikuti kursus MARA, like more than 10 years ago.

     Trainer pernah cerita ini, dia kata ada seorang bekas Kerani Besar kerajaan, bila pencen buka kedai runcit. Satu hari datang pelanggan. Tauke duduk kat kaunter. Pelanggan ini tanya ada rumah sewa. Tauke jawab cuba awak keluar dan lihat papan tanda atas, apa tulis situ.

     Trainer kata macam mana niaga lagu ini, sepatutnya bila orang bertanya, dia patut cari kan la, dapat extra duit dengan arrangement tersebut. His shop pun akan ada ramai pelanggan datang, sebab semua pun ada dan dia boleh buat.

     Ini cerita lama Tun. Ini pula cerita baru.

     I ini ada main game online. Ada masa nak beli barang online tak mau pakai credit card, I pakai MOL points. I pernah pergi kedai Cosway yang owner orang Melayu, dia kata tak ada, tapi MOL points website kata Cosway ada jual. Bila gesa2 barulah owner check dalam system, sah memang ada, sudah pula tak tau guna.

     So I pergi berapa tempat dan tanya, sebelum I complaint I kena buat cukup research dulu kan.

     I pergi satu lagi Cosway pekerja perempuan asyik main talipon, bila tanya jawab, tak ada, cuba MyNews. Bila tanya MyNews berdekatan, jawab ada jual tapi internet down. Sikit punya pusing orang Malaysia buat orang Malaysia. Lagu mana tu Tun?

     So finally, masa nak tuang minyak kat kedai Shell yang biasa, I terus tanya budak Bangla yang isi minyak, sini ada jual MOL points? Dia jawab, MOL points, itu topup ka, ada2.

     Macam mana tu orang Bangla lagi pandai.

467. Whoever becomes the next prime minister, he will no longer enjoy 2/3 majority votes to dictate what he sees fit, and thats for sure.

     When the public trust is betrayed, it could never be earned back though.

     I already said, jika betul2 mahu ambil kira, we have to go back to the past events that lead to look east policy, depeg of rm against trading us dollar and capital control policy since the arrest of anwar on 1.9.98.

     Yup, each financial crisis can never be the same since no one knows what will happen henceforth, general election must be called.

     But, when syariah mps outnumbered non syariah mps, then, as non muslim, you should know it is time to kiss goodbye forever.

     Not being in the federal government is not the end of the world, therefore, treat it as the blessings.

     The ball is on macc at putrajaya.

     Greed vs fear, mubarakchan decides.

468. My own way of thinking
     End day there is no perfect solution to any problem

     US seems Very democratic on the surface
     But the fact is its politician behaving Communist and very dictator
     Using force , Military oppression at expense of human lives
     Just to make sure they get their way

     The facts All or almost all Politician are Hypocrites
     Always point finger at others yet pointing 4 fingers at themselves which they did not realize or perhaps refuse to realize

     Today Govt will have the opposition to oppose in Parliament
     What do they oppose ?
     Oppose for the people for the nation benefits or just using it for their own hidden benefits
     So much so we see ugly argument in Parliament
     Much most in Malaysia , South Korea and several Govt
     Much so the Oppositions voice are quite in par with the Govt

     In Singapore we can see much mature Parliament
     As Opposition voice are much less heard thus much weaker
     The Govt will squeeze yr balls before you could even utter a word

     People give you names ? Dictator ?
     Prophet Muhammad p.u.h face far most accusations than this

     I don,t believe in Party competing another party to form a govt
     Different Party will compete , campaign, pointing fingers at others now and then
     The best Party selected will Win

     My Vision of building a Govt
     Individual competing another individual
     Those interested talented person who have the will , The sincere intention comes forward to form a Govt
     From these group of people , they will chose the best individuals within for the right post

     From these formations a system to elect their own leader , their own Ministers
     They will not be allow to have their own Business as it will conflicts their role in Govt . Those will be paid comfortably for so not they will be corrupted

     As most Party that form a Govt , end say .Every will tends to benefits the posts for their own individual interest or business
