1. Hi Tun,

   I have been reading your blog ever since it first came up. I was so contented with everything around me when you were Prime Minister. I just felt secured.
   After you decided to step down, I felt a need to be more aware of my surrounding as the security is just some how stepped down.
   Anyway, just wanted to say that I LOVE this post. Malaysia is not perfect but it is home.
   Thank you so much for being you. You are such an inspiration.

2. Salam Tun.

   To The Hidden Secret (whoever or whatever you are),

   I believe you are a capable person with the capacity to think in a most rational manner. Don’t let personal feelings arising from deep frustration, disappointment in life and the likes to affect your thinking and to be made known to us.

   If you wish to give comparisons, let it be ‘apple to apple’.
   However you chose to compare ‘apple to rambutan’:

   1. Likening the BN to USA and the PR to USSR and whatnot.

   2. You readily admit yet accept that PROVEN devil Anwar.

   3. You give examples on change of government in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea,….thus likewise Malaysia is no exception.

   4. You helped spread the hearsay hanky-panky deals/corruptions in Tun’s blog when none were brought to court which contradicted claims of evidence/documents easily available.

   5. You believe it is sensible and unavoidable to make comparison on the correctly worded truth from pro-government media to the rowdy & unfounded slanderous garbage of PKR fanatics, as due to circumstances.

   Don’t ridicule and belittle yourself.

3. Tun,
   Izinkan saya sekali lagi untuk menjawap tulisan The Hidden Secret pada 20 September 2012.
   The Hidden Secret, kan saya dah kata dan betul jangkaan saya sebelum ini bahawa anda mempunyai motif dan agenda Hidden Secret tersendiri dalam politik.
   Setelah diamat-amati tulisan saudara, saya yakin bahawa saudara ini sebenarnya propembangkang dan dakwaan saudara bahawa anda mempunyai kawan dan ‘boleh minum kopi’ dengan kawan daripada kedua-dua parti pemerintah BN dan pembangkang Pas cuma satu camouflage bagi memperjuangkan fahaman dan sokongan anda terhadap pembangkang secara licik dan halus.
   Saya sebenarnya malas untuk menjawap tulisan anda.Cuba anda baca berita mengenai ucapan Tun dengan tajuk ‘Negara bakal berdepan masalah’ di muka 5 Utusan Malaysia Khamis 20 September 2012.
   Tajuk kecil berita itu pula berbunyi “Jika rakyat bereksperimen menukar kerajaan – Dr. Mahathir”.
   Saya cuma nak menambah sedikit. JIka anda seorang penulis Melayu, anda seharusnya faham bahawa negara ini unik mempunyai rakyat berbilang kaum, agama dan budaya.
   Walaupun Amerika Syarikat atau mana-mana negara lain mempunyai pelbagai etnik, rakyat mereka cuma bertutur dalam satu bahasa iaitu bahasa Inggeris.
   Agama mereka pun boleh dikatakan satu iaitu kristian dan kedua yahudi manakala lainnya cuma agama pecisan yang dianuti golongan minoriti.
   AS atau mana-mana negara lain mampu mempunyai sistem dua parti sebagai contoh kalau rakyat tidak suka parti demokrat, mereka boleh pilih parti republican.
   Mana-mana parti yang menang, walaupun pemimpinnya seorang negro, perjuangan mereka hanya satu iaitu untuk kepentingan negara AS dan rakyatnya.
   Rakyat AS walaupun pelbagai etnik, bertutur dalam satu bahasa dan hanya mempunyai satu kiblat iaitu negara AS.
   Negro AS walaupun berkulit hitam, tidak ada kenangan nostalgia mengenai negara asal mereka di Afrika.
   Mereka tidak tahu pun bertutur dalam bahasa Afrika mahupun mempunyai sentimen terhadap negara asal moyang mereka dan tiada akhbar di AS yang sarat dengan berita mengenai Afrika.
   Mereka rakyat AS, jadi apa perlu membaca berita negara asal usul moyang mereka seperti yang terdapat di Malaysia?
   Di negara kita, kita mempunyai pelbagai bahasa pertuturan, sekolah pelbagai etnik, agama dan rakyat yang masih tidak fasih menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan di sebalik 55 tahun negara merdeka.
   Sentimen negara asal nenek moyang masih tebal, ada akhbar hampir separuh daripada keseluruhan muka surat penuh dengan berita mengenai negara asal usul nenek moyang.
   Saya bukan rasis tetapi akhbar Melayu tidak memenuhi akhbar mereka dengan berita-berita di Indonesia, sebab bagi mereka, Malaysia adalah satu-satunya negara mereka dan tempat mereka dilahirkan dan mati nanti.
   Melayu Malaysia tiada sentimen nostalgia dengan Indonesia sebab asal usul mereka sejak berkurun lamanya ialah di negara ini.
   Mereka juga tiada negara lain untuk lari jika berlaku sesuatu mahupun untuk mencari rezeki tidak seperti sesetengah etnik lain.
   Jika ada persamaan antara Melayu Malaysia dan Indonesia hanya satu iaitu mereka bangsa yang miskin dan perlu dibantu oleh kerajaan sebab terlalu lama dijajah oleh bangsa asing.
   Saudara Hidden Secret, cadangan saudara itu mungkin boleh dilaksanakan pada tahun 2032 nanti apabila masyarakat Melayu menjadi bangsa yang dominan sama ada dalam politik dan ekonomi.
   Tetapi jika bangsa Melayu membuat silap peratuhan sekarang terutama dalam PRU-13 nanti, nasib mereka akan lebih malang lagi dan mereka akan tinggal dalam kedaifan dan merempat di negara sendiri.
   Ada sebuah parti belum berkuasa lagi sudah awal-awal lagi bercadang untuk mengurangkan kakitangan sektor awam.
   Untuk apa tujuan ini, saudara fikirlah sendiri.Jika sekarang pun parti yang saudara sokong bercakaran satu sama lain jangan terlalu harap ada check and balance antara parti-parti ini jika berkuasa nanti.
   Isu ekonomi dan agama bukan suatu yang boleh dipertaruhkan atau jadi bahan eksperimen saudara.
   Hari ini mungkin saudara tidak kisah kerana mungkin isu-su ini tidak menjejaskan kepentingan saudara atau saudara mara saudara sendiri.
   Apa yang pasti ialah jika kita silap pertaruhan, akibatnya sungguh hebat yang melibatkan survival bangsa Melayu sendiri.
   Pepatah Melayu ada menyebut, “Terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata badan binasa”.
   Ada lagi satu pepatah tak kurang juga menariknya, “Nasi sudah jadi bubur”.
   JIka saudara seorang penulis bukan Melayu, saya faham maksud dan tujuan tulisan saudara.
   Salam Tun.

4. Salam Tun and All,

   The analysis provided by Hidden Secret is a bit too confusing. When he implied that we should be like China he is not comparing apple to apple with Malaysia.

   He uses China as a balance of world power between the West but he also equate China to Malaysia as a country. This is very wrong as China is authoratarian country and dictator. The power is very solid and unquestionable. They are not democratic country as yet.

   However, if we are to be like China it can also be good. Actually, power should come out very solid. If we break Malaysia into various sections with opposing views on each other, the country would not going to move anywhere as politician have to go through very long campaign to convince all of the interested parties. Still some of the parties may have going to object it altogether.

   Further, the accountabilities is going to be very difficult to establish. With equal power to all of the parties, pointing fingers will frequently happens.

   The system based on distrust is proven to be the reason why most of the government initiatives failed. This is due to excessive protocols and governance where it resulted in delay in decision making and heavy politics. In my opinion, people governance really does not work and country like this such as India is heavily exposed to all level of corruption.

   I am sorry but this is my views. Loose coalition of the PR will not going to work. Even inside the coalition itself there is a great distant of opposing views with each other. Some people claims that PR is Islamic while in the same time claimed to be Liberal and Democratic.

   Islam is Syumul. Syumul actually means holistic and we should know how to compartmentalised our thinking not mix it all together to become ‘rojak’.

5. Peace!

   First, let us look at our world.

   During the Cold War from 1947–1991, there were two superpowers with profound economic and political differences ie. the USA and the USSR. Are they both angels? Or one of them was an angel and the other one was a devil? Or were both of them devils?

   From year 1992 until now, USA has become the single superpower in the world. Is she (USA) an angel? Or is she (USA) a devil?

   For other countries, which one is better? Is it better to have two superpowers (one with a Communist ideology and the other with a Democratic ideology) or one superpower with a Democratic ideology?

   Let us take China as an example. James Hsiung (1987) concluded that CHINA BENEFITTED MUCH MORE THAN EITHER OF THE SUPERPOWERS FROM VARIOUS COALITION SHIFTS THAT OCCURRED OVER TIME.

   Political scientists Andrew J. Nathan and Robert S. Ross certainly makes good sense: “During the Cold War, CHINA WAS THE ONLY MAJOR COUNTRY THAT STOOD AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO SUPERPOWER CAMPS, A TARGET OF INFLUENCE AND EMNITY FOR BOTH.

   Both, Communism and Democracy are not the perfect political ideologies. Both have advantages/strength and disadvantages/weaknesses.

   What’s more important is to have a good leader regardless of the political ideologies we practice or condone to, whether it is democracy, communism, monarchy or dictatorship.

   Now, let us go back to Malaysia.

   Let us imagine that BN is the USA, PR is the USSR and Malaysian citizens are China. Similar to China, the Malaysian citizens have a choice to choose between BN or PR. Like the USA (Democracy) and USSR (Communism), both BN and PR are not perfect, both have strength and weaknesses.

   The Malaysian citizens now have two options :-

   1. To let BN become the single superpower in Malaysia, which is similar to the period after the Cold War where the USA become the single superpower in the world.

   Or…

   2. To have two superpowers in Malaysia ie BN and PR, which is similar to the cold war period where there were two superpowers (USA and USSR, with two different ideologies).

   As concluded by James Hsiung, CHINA BENEFITTED MUCH MORE THAN EITHER OF THE SUPERPOWERS FROM VARIOUS COALITION SHIFTS THAT OCCURRED OVER TIME. Will the Malaysian citizens benefited more if political power shifts between BN and PR occurred over time in Malaysia?

   Anwar Ibrahim and PR are not perfect. Definitely, they will fail in fulfilling all their promises. However, their presence in the Malaysia’s political arena will help to balance one party (BN) to become too strong and too corrupt.

   WE DO NOT NEED AN ANGEL TO BALANCE OFF A DEVIL BUT WE COULD ALSO USE ANOTHER DEVIL TO BALANCE OFF A DEVIL.

   Anwar is not an Angel. I trust what Tun and Umi Hafilda said about Anwar. However, he (Anwar) will not going to exist forever in the Malaysia’s political arena. He will eventually gone or die. Anwar may think that he is successful in using the people for his political ambition. However, I think it is the other way around. I think that HIS (ANWAR) PRESENCE NOW IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR MALAYSIANS IN CREATING A STRONG TWO POLITICAL COALITIONS IN MALAYSIA. Anwar has all it takes to do this for the Malaysians. He has lots of money, he has external support, he has ambition and determination. Other than Anwar, we do not have any candidate to achieve this for us. Without Anwar, our chance to have two strong political coalitions in Malaysia is gong to be extremely difficult and impossible.

   In a democratic country, a dominated single party or a dominated single coalition political parties will never be the best option for the citizens. A good example is Singapore. Being a single political party which has ruled Singapore since 1959, PAP controls almost all aspect of the Singaporeans life – artificially high price of houses, artificially high price of cars, two children policy, mass influx of immigrants and expats, Denunciation / Public liberties, expensive tertiary education, GST to name a few. However, there is nothing or little the Singaporeans could do because PAP is too strong.

   Malaysia is moving towards the same trend also – artificially high price of houses, artificially high price of cars, mass influx of immigrants, expensive tertiary education, moving into the implementation of GST, inefficient and expensive public transportation system, unnecessary payment of commission to Perimekar, PKFZ scandal, naval vessel scandal, cow scandal, etc. However, there is nothing or little the Malaysians could do because BN is too strong and has been ruling Malaysia since 1957.

   Let us all be like China during the cold war. China never accept USA or USSR as her (China) permanent ally but she (China) shifted her (China) alliance between the two superpowers to leverage the cold war between the two superpowers. China realized that she (China) was in a position to make demands to the two superpowers. China doesn’t or care less what USA or USSR will think about her (China). What important for China was to leverage as much as possible from the two superpowers.

   It is good that PR coalition was formed by three political parties with three different ideologies. Why is it good?

   In BN, nobody could do anything when Perimekar received unnecessary commissions for the purchase of submarines (PR claimed that the submarines are used or second hand submarines). But in PR, if PAS wants to cut-off people’s hand, DAP will oppose to it. If DAP wants to give 999 years lease to the Chinese, the Malays in PAS and PR will oppose to it. If PR wants to give more rooms to the LGBT, PAS will oppose to it. Their different ideologies is a blessing to us.

   So… we don’t have to be loyal to any political parties or political alliance. What do we get if we are loyal to any political party or political alliance? What we, the rakyat should do is to leverage as much as we could from them. Always remember that… we are the shareholders of Malaysia Berhad who appoint them as our chairman and directors. We pay them (taxes, duties, permits, summonses, fines, etc), they (BN or PR) have to work for us and we owe them (BN and PR) nothing.

   Rgds.

6. Tun,
   Izinkan saya menjawap tulisan The Hidden Secret 18 September 2012.
   Antaranya beliau menulis quote “All of us have different views and opinions. However, NO PERSONAL ATTACK PLEASE. COMMENT ON THE CONTENT, NOT ON THE CONTRIBUTOR”
   Nampaknya The Hidden Secret sudah lebih sudu dari kuah.Setahu saya ini blog Tun bukan blog The Hidden Secret.
   Walaupun saya setuju dengan cadangan saudara The Hidden Secret seelok-eloknya tiada personal attack terhadap commenters dan tumpu kepada content yang ditulis oleh Tun, ada kalanya sesetengah penyumbang pendapat perlu dibalas balik kerana menulis secara biadab, berbentuk perkauman yang hanya mementingkan kaum mereka sahaja , sebagai contoh menuduh orang lain sebagai rasis sedangkan mereka sendiri lebih rasis, yang suka menyalahkan pihak lain termasuk mereka yang mempunyai agenda tertentu untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.
   Untuk pengetahuan The Hidden Secret, saya tiada apa-apa untuk seperti kata saudara untuk ‘attack’ pemimpin tersohor seperti Tun Mahathir ke, DS Najib ke, Rosmah Mansor ke dan sebagainya .
   Saudara, adakah beg tangan isteri PM yang tiada kena mengena dengan tulisan Tun pun nak dijadikan bahan perbahasan dalam blog ini?
   Bukankah cadangan saudara ini merupakan tulisan berbentuk ‘personal attack” terhadap seseorang iaitu isteri PM yang tiada kena mengena dengan politik?
   Bukankah cadangan saudara itu lari daripada cadangan yang saudara sendiri buat iaitu bahas terhadap kandungan tulisan Tun dan bukan perkara lain termasuk serangan berbentuk personal?
   Nampaknya saudara bercakap tak serupa bikin.
   What kind of a person are you saudara The Hidden Secret?
   Rendah betul nilai maruah dan cetek pemikiran saudara.Bukan ini double standard namanya?Bukankah ini juga merupakan satu personal attack dan tuduhan melulu namanya?
   Bagi saya, saya tidak peduli apa beg Rosmah Mansor pakai dan sebagainya termasuk perkara-perkara peribadi orang lain yang tidak ada kena mengena dengan kita dan yang tidak menjejaskan kepentingan orang ramai dan keselamatan negara.
   Jika mereka layak dan mampu membelinya, apa salahnya saudara?
   Jika saudara ada duit, apa salahnya saudara pakai beg berjenama dan membeli berlian yang berat dan berkilau-lilau untuk isteri saudara?
   Habis duit itu kalau tidak digunakan, nak bawa ke kubur ke?Kalau nak bawa duit ke kubur tak laku, cuma boleh bawa duit daripada kedai menjual keranda di kedai Cina.Duit itu laku saudara bawa untuk menebus dosa supaya dapat masuk ke syurga.
   Perlu saya tegaskan di sini, saya tidak ada apa-apa kepentingan sama ada dengan Tun, PM atau isteri beliau dan mereka tidak mengenali saya.
   Dan saya cukup menyampah dan meluat orang seperti saudara yang suka membuat tuduhan melulu terhadap orang lain.
   Come on la, saudara, kalau nak attack pun seperti saudara kata attack lah PM sahaja takkan isteri PM pun jadi sasaran?
   Kata orang bersikap gentelman la sikit saudara, elakkan diri daripada menuduh atau membuat fitnah terhadap orang lain terutama wanita yang tiada kena mengena dengan politik.
   Hanya disebabkan suami seseorang itu ahli politik adakah wajar kita seperti saudara kata ‘attack’ sekali isteri dan ahli keluarga ahli politik itu yang tiada kena mengena atau tidak berkecimpong dalam politik?
   Saya rasa-rasa saudara ini pun ada agenda politik tertentu kot?
   Itu pasal saudara ada The Hidden Secret? yang saudara seorang sahaja yang tahu.
   Salam Tun.

7. salam Tun,

   to hidden top secret,

   “THEY ONLY KNOW HATE. HATRED DOES NOT DEVELOP NATIONS.”

   Yeah right. Please repeat these words to leaders of PKR, PAS and DAP in their faces! Low quality opposition sleeping together in the same bed united only by their common hatred of the ruling coalition! buzz off!

   1. Most drug lords do not traffic drugs themselves. They themselves never see, never touch, never hold or even never stand near to the drugs which they are selling. They get other people to traffic and sell the drugs for them. Hence, the term drug trafficking and drug dealers are use.

   Excerpt from Wikipedia…

   “Such figures are often difficult to bring to justice, as they might never be directly in possession of something illegal, but are insulated from the actual trade in drugs by several layers of underlings”.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_lord

   2. Israel does not rule the world directly but they rule it by proxy.

   http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2012/08/13/dr-m-israel-rules-the-world-by-proxy/

   3. People use other people to kill people, hence the term ‘assasination’.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination

   4. Tun does not have to defend his writings in this blog by himself because other people will defend his writings.

   5. PR politicians have to directly instill hatred during their political ‘ceramah’ because they do not have the mainstream media to do it for them. BN politicians do not have to directly instill hatred towards PR and PR politicians because the BN controlled media, religious scholars, cyber troopers and supporters are doing it for them.

   http://visitskc.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/media-and-power-how-politicians-use-media/

    Dear All,

    All of us have different views and opinions. However, NO PERSONAL ATTACK PLEASE. COMMENT ON THE CONTENT, NOT ON THE CONTRIBUTOR.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks

    Kalau nak ‘attack’, janganlah ‘attack’ orang yang memberi komen dalam blog ini tapi ‘attack’ la para politicians dan parti-parti politik yang kita tak sokong. ‘Attack’ la Anwar Ibrahim ke, Tun Mahathir ke, Nik Aziz ke, DS Najib ke, Rosmah Mansor ke (walaupun dia bukan politician tapi boleh la ‘attack’ dia sikit-sikit… ‘attack’ handbags HERMES BIRKIN dia ke… ‘attack’ cincin berlian dia yg BESAR tu ke… ), ‘attack’Lim Kit Siang ke dll. ‘Attack’ la UMNO ke, DAP ke, PKR ke, PAS ke dll.

    Tak ada gunanya kita ‘attack’ secara peribadi orang yang bagi komen dalam blog ni. Apa yang kita dapat? Dapat kepuasan? Puas ke?

    I have friends from UMNO and PAS. They are both good people and I personally like both of them. I have no problem sitting and having drinks with them. I don’t understand why we should call names on each other just because of our political differences.

    Saladin fought against Richard but… THEY HAVE RESPECT TOWARDS EACH OTHER!!! Tapi… kita ni yang cuma tahap penyokong ‘kucing ku**p’ bukan main lagi mengutuk orang lain secara peribadi.

    Excerpt from Wikipedia…

    “His noble and chivalrous behavior was noted by Christian chroniclers, especially in the accounts of the Siege of Kerak, and despite being the nemesis of the Crusaders, he won the respect of many of them, including Richard the Lionheart; rather than becoming a hated figure in Europe, he became a celebrated example of the principles of chivalry.”

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saladin

    Excerpt from Wikipedia…

    “Muslim writers during the Crusades period and after wrote of him: “Never have we had to face a bolder or more subtle opponent.”

    WE SHOULD MAINTAIN OUR ‘CIVILITY’ IN THIS BLOG.

    Some of the excerpts from Wikipedia :-

    “Someone may very well be an idiot. But telling them so is neither going to increase their intelligence nor improve your ability to communicate with them.”

    “No matter how frustrated you are, do not tell people to “grow up” or include any wording along the lines of “if this were kindergarten” in your messages.”

12. Tun,
    Let me reply to MiddleAges again.
    Dear MiddleAges, before you accused other commenters as emotional and unproffessional, may i point out to you that isnt your statements of blaming the goverment for the ‘hounding and pounding’ of the LRT expansion project near your house as emotional and unproffessional?
    Is your personal complaints on the LRT project near your house and want ‘a change of goverment’ a thing to argue productively?
    Can i ask you what is wrong for someone to have a strong sentiment for as you says quote “things like ‘malay’ or ‘melayu’?
    Doesnt the chinese also have strong sentiment for things like ‘chinese’ or ‘cina’ such as chinese culture and chinese languages?
    Did the malays ever degrade, insult and discriminate other races in this country as you says simply “because other races are different, with different religion, culture and values”?Maybe in your kiasu mind.
    If there is any discrimination, then the malays in singapore were discriminate on the pretext of meritocracy by the singapore goverment.
    In this country you can still speak your mother tongue languages and practice your religon freely despite many of your kind cant hardly even speak the national language properly despite 55 years of malaysia independence.
    Does the malaysian goverment ever stop or prosecute you from becoming rich in this country?
    Dear MiddleAges, please wake up from your slumber and stop blaming others because of your own weaknesses and failure in life.
    We are now in a modern world and no longer in the middle ages!
    Salam Tun.

13. Salam
    YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Yg DiRahmati Allah s.w.t.

    1. PAS dan PKR berkerjasama untuk tidak memerdekakan negara yang telah pun merdeka

    2. Wahai orang Malaysia, tolak habis-habisan terus menerus mereka tu yang membawa kemusnahan negara tercinta Malaysia ni.

    3. Mari kita semua bersama arus perdana/gelombang merah/gelombang biru selamatkan Malaysia daripada mereka tu.

    Terima kasih.

15. sentinel5 and sudin,

    You guys really made my day. I can’t stop smiling and laughing and your comments lifted my spirit since 8.40 am just now. Your response to these “ungrateful” and “shallow” beings are just subtle but straight to the point.

    We need people like you guys. Keep it up.

16. Salam Tun,

    May i respond to several emotional, unpoffessional and revealing attacks on me by several commentors on your blog.

    Dear commentors,

    I have lived long enough to know people like you have not the ability to provide reason or sound judgement or most if not all matters in life, including political life. You are the sort of people who knows only to punch and kill those who do not agree with you, as your education limits your capability to reason and argue productively.

    Please do go on insulting me, jeering at me, and calling me names, as it all reflects very well on the kind of person you really are, and readers of this blog with a good mind can see through you, and they know what sort of person they wish to lead them in a Government.

    Now, back to politics, i understand there is a strong sentiment for things ‘malay’ or ‘melayu’, but to ignore, degrade, insult and discriminate other races simply because other races are different, with different religion, culture and values, is not going to win the hearts of those who suffered such persecutions.

    Not that the people who insult me can understand these things, but then, it still needs to be said, a reminder to Malaysians what has become of our nation and brainwashed people, and that if we do not change the Government, we all have to live with these noisy chattering lot, forever believing they have the right to rule over us.

    Power of the Government comes from the People.

    Thank You Tun

17. Salam Tun dan Semua,

    Sebagai orang kebanyakan, saya bersyukur dengan kehidupan apa yang ada diMalaysia ini. Walaupun bukan dikategorikan sebagai orang hartawan atau bangsawan saya tetap bersyukur kerana kemakmuran dan keamanan.

    Memang digalakkan untuk maju kehadapan untuk kehidupan yang lebih baik, tetapi dengan menerapkan nilai2 yang tidak elok akan membuatkan rakyat dan negara menjadi lebih tidak bertamadun.

    Ramai rakyat Malaysia hari ini merasakan kehidupan semakin tidak berkualiti. Hampir kebanyakan dari pengamatan saya berkisar dari sudut spiritual berbanding fizikal. Mereka menyalahkan kerajaan atas segala sebab termasuklah isu pendidikan.

    Bagi saya isu pendidikan dinegara ini memang ada masalahnya. Jika dilihat dari sudut akademik dan bebas politik, graduan yang dihasilkan saban tahun semakin kurang berkualiti. Pelajar2 sekolah, walaupun mereka ini naik darjah, ramai yang sebenarnya tidak mencapai tahap yang sepatutnya kerana sistem pendidikan yang terlalu mementingkan kuantiti daripada kualiti. Mereka juga saya lihat menjadi semakin tidak menghormati guru2 dan juga orang2 tua mereka. Ini diapi2kan lagi oleh bibit kebencian yang disebarkan oleh orang2 tua mereka dan para ahli2 politik.

    Kita juga semakin lama sering mementingkan kuantiti daripada kualiti. Kita semakin mementingkan wang, pangkat dan kuasa sehingga memperlekehkan nilai2 universal yang sepatutnya ada pada seorang manusia. Akibatnya timbullah golongan muda yang hilang pedoman dan bertindak melampaui batas.

    Jika dibina bibit2 ini lama kelamaan tamadun kita akan tandus dan kita akan dijajah semula. Kita telah lama merdeka daripada penjajahan. Tetapi kita juga telah terlalu lama dijajah yakni selama 500 tahun oleh berbagai bangsa daripada Portugis sehinggalah British dan Jepun.

    Tiba masanya kita hentikan senario politik melampau. Peranan ini sebenarnya ada pada semua orang termasuk saya sendiri. Kepada pemimpin kerajaan dan ibubapa, pendidikan adalah utama untuk membina tamadun bangsa. Peranan guru2 hendaklah dikembalikan semula sebagai pendidik bukan sebagai pengajar sahaja. Tidakkah kita hairan bahawa hari ini 32% daripada pesakit jiwa terdiri dari kalangan guru2. Tidakkah pihak Profesor universiti yang mengkaji Pelan Induk Pendidikan negara ambil kira masalah ini?

    Bagi saya pendidikan adalah holistik. Seseorang yang ahli dalam bidang kejuruteraan tidaklah secara otomatik bahawa dia juga seorang yang berakhlak tinggi dan berbudipekerti serta arif dalam selok belok kehidupan.

    Amat jerih usaha orang2 tua kita mendapatkan kemerdekaan. Tetapi mengisi kemerdekaan sebenarnya adalah lebih payah. Tugas ini terletak pada bahu semua rakyat negara ini dan generasi akan datang.

    Sebaiknya kita kurangkan politik dan tumpukan kepada pengisian kemerdekaan itu sendiri. Wallahua’lam…

18. Tun,
    Let me reply to MiddleAges.
    Dear MiddleAges, while i sympathize with your predicament, let it not be an excuse for a change of a new goverment.
    BIaming the goverment because of the ‘hounding and pounding’ of the LRT expansion project near your house is unfair, much more so if you have not made any complaints regarding the problems to the relevant authorities.
    Dear MiddleAges, why dont you be honest with yourself, just say that you are for the oppositions and hates the present goverment.
    Any simpleton will know that there is no guarantee that by changing the present goverment will solved your problems, in fact it may even made it worse.
    If whenever everyone that have personal problems in this country want a change of goverment and there will be a new goverment, then we will be back to the middle ages.
    Or maybe people like you should be put back into a time tunnel back to the middle ages living into a shack where there will be no ‘hounding and pounding’ ?
    Salam Tun.

19. Salam Tun.

    I wish to refer to the comment submitted by ‘MiddleAges’ (11/09/12 @8:15pm)

    Hi there,
    I suppose you sort of getting good enjoyment being ridiculed by other bloggers here in Tun’s blogsite!
    Recently you also made the open & most ridiculous declaration that you belonged to the “anti-Mohammadan” Islamic sect.
    Now you’re complaining the government as being most inconsiderate due to the noise created to build LRT service near your home, meant to serve you & your family.
    Maybe living in the jungles of Kuala Tahan suits you, but even there the birds will start chirping and disturbing your sleep well before 7.00 am.

    The last time when Dato’ Seri Dr. M built LRT in Kuala Lumpur, Anwar and all of his “I can fool them all of the time” supporters had said the same thing, and also their other usual negative “only God knows” accusations & slanderous sh_t that only befit them.
    I’ve long believed that ‘MiddleAges” to belong in that category, but to keep on highlighting your narrow-minded stupidity TO THE WORLD is really something to ponder!

    This is the first time someone mentioned not to vote for the government due to the clatters of noise from machineries propagating development. Maybe the Environmental Impact Agency should investigate your grouses, and to check and verify that the permissible decibel exceeded the allowable limit of your earlobes. Have you contacted them?

    By the way, stop your sweeping statement on implicating ALL the other Malaysians are with you, that usual phrase as commonly used by ‘Jo” and ‘donplaypuks’ just make them feel they are not alone in wanting/demanding to be called a moron.

    74. Truth has prevailed.

    75. When God is greedy in punishing them, they can never ran away.

    76. They made Islam looks so ugly and dirty.

    Good day, YAB.

    Out of the blue and near the next General Elections, we observe a news item in the Star 11 September 2012 ‘ Koon Swan Case a Mistake ‘. The trial of Tan Koon Swan was 26 years ago and fortunately, he is still alive. And it is no joke. Congratulations !

    Why express a monumental mistake after a quarter of a century ?

    The only good thing which arose out of this bizarre news item is that Tun, your 22 Administration is vindicated. But still there are wisecracks who twisted and spun that you and Tun Daim were the hidden hands. How absurd can one get ?

    I can tell the world that there was no such sinister motive by UMNO and by the both of you. Vide Malaysian Bloggers. I was watching very closely at the fringe of this storm in the tea cup and my assistance was enlisted at the very end which was far too late. Then, MCA was neither here nor there. Tan Koon Swan in place would have been better than without as to be proven later.

    My first reaction when the Pan-El Saga unfolded was that it was political to do down Malaysia as incompetent and inefficient. Those were the times. And look at our beloved Malaysia now, strong, resilient and peaceful. Vide. the Star. ‘ In the end the Government decided that the CAD could prosecute Tan Koon Swan. ‘

    And that it was unnecessary to suspend the 2 Stock Exchanges for 2 days over such a small financial affair because these were the arbiters of values. No other country suspended their stock exchange for minor misdemeanors. I believe only the Milan Borse was suspended for awhile at the turn of the 20th Century. I happened to be away for a couple of days during the key moments of the Pan-El Saga.

    As I mentioned many times Malaysia has not got a perfunctory Judicial System like our neighbour. Vide. Admiral Canaris was stripped naked and demeaned by Hitler’s Judiciary and hung naked with piano wires. The drug mules of Australia and Germany. And now……Tan Koon Swan ! Related cases !

    Slowly slowly the real facts concerning the success of your famous 22 year Administration for Malaysia, all the Malaysians, Malays, Bumiputras, Chinese, Indians etc and the World, will unfold.

    I always said you deserve a Nobel Laureate Prize for Peace if the Stockholm Committee is not so biased !

    Vote BN ! All Malaysians especially the Malaysian Chinese. For our beloved Malaysia !

26. Asalam’kum Tun,
    I cannot help but to give a piece of from my mind.

    I think most Malaysian are born post WWll, which could be the reason why they do not experience or rather have not heard about stories about those times.
    We have also, unfortunately, be living a reasonably good life (for the majority) that they have forgotten what “Merdeka” means. It is most unfortunate, including myself, not to have experience those times – under the British or Japanese, to be able to compare to the present living conditions.
    I think, because of this lack of those experience and also because of the “reasonably good life” that has made us such – sort of arrogant. We might not be “developed,” like Singapore; great like the Europeans (once upon a time); or free as in US (land of the free); but we are some where there. We are at a cross road; knowing where we want to go but not knowing how to get there.

    If we do not stick together, to continue the journey, then we will go nowhere.

27. YAB,

    62. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/9/11/nation/20120911214643&sec=nation

    63. But one thing for sure, I won’t be buying Proton nor Perodua in future.

    64. Why?

    65. I hope that these companies can stand on their own in the name of competition to upgrade themselves locally and globally in free market system.

    66. Malaysians are pampered with spoon feeding by subsidies by Petronas.

    67. If we do not rectify this core problem, our younger generation will have to born trillions of debts in future just like the Americans and Europeans whereby they can change governments like what is happening in Western countries.

    68. Islam is not the the political religion.

    69. That’s why I support Malaysia Islamic fund.

    70. My anak bongsu is doing A Level in Taylor College, Sri Hartamas, KL.

    71. He does not need to fly out to foreign countries today and he has a choice to study medicine and surgery degree in Newcastle Medical University in Malaysia.

    Good day, YAB.

28. Good morning YAB,

    56. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/9/11/nation/12002560&sec=nation

    57. At last, Tan Koon Swan is cleared who was charged when the presidency was hold by the Indian.

    58. Will MCA’s Ling Liong Sik and Chan Kong Choy be freed too?

    59. EPF with only portrait of PM has bought the shares of FGVH listed in NY.

    60. Will Malindo Airlines a threat to Air Asia’s CEO’s Tony Fernandez?

    61. It’s time for Tony Fernandez to show us what he got without political financial support from the PM and Cabinet.

    Good day, YAB.

29. Salam YAB dearest Tun and fellow bloggers,

    1. Globalization demands Malaysia to open its borders to others (and kononnya Malaysia has the ‘freedom’ to get into other nations’ borders, really?). Thus these nations, especially Israel, US, are ever ready to take away other countries’ sovereignty – Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt, Palestine and Syria soon. No more Merdeka then.

    2. Globalization simply means powerful nations can come in and have fun in Malaysia and when Malaysia tries to stop them, they will retaliate aggressively (war maybe), semi-aggressive like sanctions (but casualties are just like going to war – many are dead) or through their ‘talibaruts’ (talibans are more respectable here). No more Merdeka then.

    Once upon a time, the British intended to make gains by collapsing SEA economies, thus they suceeded in currency crashing involving Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines, and our Malaysia…but Tun came out with that brilliant idea of pegging. The Brits, soros, al-gore and anwar ibrahim were and are still up to no good to destroy our economy. Lately (why la so late), our government is determine to charge suaram, the tool used by soros (until today…thanks to anwar’s connection).

    Have you people seen the memorable picture of si gedik (she was so innocent at one point of time)wan azizah and azmin meeting with soros in US, in 2003? Ezam confirmed about that meeting and he said Elizabeth Wong, with Suaram arranged for the meeting to take place. These people you think are fighting for Malaysia’s kedaulatan? they are doing the opposites! PR supporters, please, do not help these opportunists (they are making money along the way) to sabotage our nation, please…

    Look for yourself, why brainy like Dr Chandra Muzafar left anwar? Tunku Aziz? his buddies like zahrain, zulkifli nordin, the new TIBAI mursyidul, ezam, all the lawyers who defended anwar in first trial (except for one little indian lawyer), his special officers, etc…they know something we don’t know. Lokman adam (once Anwar’s special officer) said wan azizah received a RM5 million cheque under her name, but not a single sen went to PKR…or Nurul who got USD200,000 from Estrada, nothin went to PKR tabung…told you, it’s for their kind of keadilan. – go ahead, interview lokman, he’s still alive.

    3. Due to the power of globalization, PM of India ‘menyibuk’ in our nation’s affair when hindraf caused trouble. Of all the demands, hindraf demanded that the malay special status be dropped from constitution. During old days, we can say, ‘jangan masuk campur’, but today, it’s not that easy, big power can just show ‘kurang ajar’. No more Merdeka Malaysia…worst still, these so-called Malaysian Indians (hindraf) invited other countries to interfere – you called this patriotism?

    4. Remember the incident whereby a chinese (from China) woman was instructed to do ‘ketuk-ketampi’ in police lock-up? Chinese government showed concern…another big power showing mightiness…dollah sent our rep to see chinese government to explain and apologize…he,he…it turned out that it was a malay woman from malaysia mahh….dollah, dollah…But the moral of the story is…Malaysia is getting threats from bigger nations. Sort of;

    ‘ane kacau orang india, big brother India will come…’
    ‘lu kacau olang cina, kelajaan china mali malah…aiyaah’

    I supposed that motivates some ungrateful chineses and indians to misbehave in Malaysia, maybe because they have big brothers!

    So can we say we are Merdeka?

    5. I had heard in one of Tun’s speeches a long, long time ago….Tun was saying that rakyat can go ahead supporting the oppositions (that is what democracy is all about), but do not bring in foreign nations/powers…just get Malaysians to oppose the government if they have good reasons. But today, led by anwar, through ngos (smart ngo according to hillary clinton – better than the marines with guns), foreign powers are coming in…Malaysia is no more Merdeka. Obviously these foreign powers want something in return of their favors.

    6. Remember how Singapore, Thailand, Phillipines at one time made noises in UN accusing Malaysia of harboring and training terrorists? So you see, Malaysia has enemies internally and externally….so please, PR supporters, stop supporting your leaders, they have agendas for their own interests but involving/bringing in foreign powers. Some BN leaders too are fighting for their own interests, but at least did not bring in foreign powers – BN wants Merdeka Malaysia.

    7. Malaysia is rich with god’s gifts, that is why our ex-boss (the brits), US (to capitalize) and others are interested in Malaysia…Malaysia is an Islamic model country and maybe this is another reason why they must ‘conquer’ Malaysia…

30. Salaam Tun

    Eid Mubarak to you and family.

    Maaf zahir Batin.

    My family and I was KL two weekends ago, what we saw on TV, Msian citizens stamping on pictures of Prime Minister and yound Malaysian Men holding aloft a ‘Malaysian’ flag was very unbecoming, self deceiving…if this were to happen in Singapore…wah dah lama dah ISD tangkap. LKY will not waste time with these kind of people.

    Tun, for your info, in Singapore, the born and bred Singaporeans who are not happy are not 15% but 50% of the population.

    I shudder to think what the outcome will be if there is an election is held in Singapore tomorrow.

    In Singapore now, even the majority born and bred Chinese is asking his Singapore Malay brothers to close ranks and halau this newly pendatang…from China Chinese to India Indians, the loud pinoys, Mynmarese etc etc

    Why? The reality is these Tom, Dick and Harry are overcrowding this tiny Island…taking away from blue to white collar jobs, causing an increase the price of a 99 year lease meant for Songaporeans, price of a car which life span is only 10 years, increase in prices of good and services.

    Born and Bred Singaporeans are suffering. Malaysian read in the media – Singapore top 3 richest country in the world..the government, the MPs and the elite are rich but not the ordinary people. All are struggling to make ends meet.

    Worse still, the ordinary people have to sell their house and most of them are now living in JB, waking up as early as 4.30 am to go to work and school in Spore.

    Thats the truth but sad reality for Singaporeans.

    Tun, when I saw these young Malaysian Malay men holding aloft the Red & White flag…dia orang ini bodoh ke apa? Sorry for my language.

    Please tell them Singapore very rarely allowed Malaysia Malays to work in Singapore. Even muslim hawkers must employed at least when China chinese to be waiter, cleaner. Isnt this cruel!!

    Please tell them Singapore only imports Chinese and Indian and other races other than Malay.

    But to deceive Singaporean Malays, she will say they have brought in many Malays now…what she mean is Filipino Malays, because Filipino Malays are Christians.

    So now you see how insecure these Singaporean people are.

    Luckily Tun you know the game cause Allah make you a smart and intelligent man to raise the martabat of orang Melayu. We are proud of you.

    So Tun please tell Anwar, PAS and these guys who hold aloft the red & wide flag to wake up their

    Please dont be deceived by iblis and syaitan.

    May Allah S W protect Islam, Muslims and Muslim Malays. Ameen

31. Salam Tun,

    In the begging of the current LRT expansion project, construction works begin at about 9 am and finish at about 5pm near residential areas.

    Now, they begin at 7am, and still hounding and pounding untul late 7pm, with absolutely no regards for people lives and peace within the residential area.

    I supposed the contractors are very poor people in dire need of money and wish very much to impress on the government they are working very hard. And so the public peace and tranquility is of no significance whatsoever, it is the money that counts.

    How i wish there is LRT being built near the cabinet ministers home, and how i wish they would enjoy the continuous pounding and engine noises in their very own luxurious comfortable homes.

    It goes to show just how we Malaysians and how the Malaysian government actually cares for the rakyat. We need a new government, no doubt about it.

    Thank You Tun

32. Tun,
    Izinkan saya tumpang sekaki terhadap kenyataan sekenit berhubung quote “Hanya, masih ada segelintir yang walaupun sudah bertahun-tahun mempunyai Kad Pengenalan MALAYSIA, masih tak tahu berbahasa Melayu.”
    Saya ingin berkongsi pengalaman yang saya alami dengan sekenit dan penulis lain mengenai warga Malaysia yang tidak tahu berbahasa Melayu di sebalik 55 tahun negara kita merdeka.
    Suatu hari, saya telah pergi ke Ampang untuk membeli kuih daripada seorang makcik Melayu.
    Semasa saya hendak membeli kuih, tiba-tiba ada seorang gadis Cina datang juga hendak membeli kuih dengan makcik tersebut.
    Perasaan saya bercampur aduk ketika itu mahu ketawa dan juga marah terhadap gadis itu apabila dia mula bercakap dengan makcik tersebut dalam bahasa Inggeris.
    Bukan maksud saya menghina semua makcik tidak tahu berbahasa Inggeris dan saya tahu ada juga makcik yang fasih menggunakan bahasa tersebut tetapi apalah salahnya jika gadis berkenaan menggunakan bahasa Melayu.
    Saya kasihan dengan makcik tersebut yang kelihatan berubah riak mukanya apabila gadis tersebut bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris dengannya.
    Dalam hati saya berkata, “Alahai gadis ini, awak bukan lagi seorang kanak-kanak kecil dan tidak mungkin tidak tahu sedikit pun bahasa Melayu.Bukankah perbuatan anda bertutur dalam bahasa Inggeris kepada seorang makcik yang telah berusia satu perbuatan yang biadab?”.
    Bahasa Melayu selain sebagai bahasa kebangsaan dan bahasa rasmi negara adalah bahasa yang mudah dipelajari dan boleh digunakan sebagai bahasa pengantaraan antara semua kaum di negara ini.
    Tetapi malangnya, masih ramai yang tidak tahu menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan negara.
    Lihatlah di mahkamah, masih ramai yang menjadi saksi masih memerlukan penterjemah bahasa kerana terpaksa menggunakan bahasa ibunda semasa memberikan keterangan di mahkamah.
    Tun, selain itu jika diamati tulisan seperti HBT456 dan lain-lain yang sekaum dengan HBT456, jelaslah mereka ini yang berkibatkan Singapura sebagai negara contoh mereka, bersifat perkauman.
    Agak melucukan apabila membaca tulisan HBT456 quote ” No one want to be poor or marginalized.But that does not mean that they can abuse the power and trust of the people given to them to get rich first by raping the country wealth.”
    Sebenarnya tiada mana-mana kaum yang dimarginalized di negara ini.Tetapi sikap tamak orang seperti HBT456 dan dengki terhadap usaha kerajaan membantu kaum bumiputera yang miskin telah membuatkan HBT456 and geng merasa seolah-oleh mereka dipinggirkan.
    Saya yakin dan percaya bahawa orang seperti HBT456 tidak suka melihat bangsa Melayu dan bumiputera lain kaya dan mewah tetapi hanya mementingkan diri dan kaumnya sahaja.
    Malangnya, kenyataan yang dibuat oleh HBT456 ini yang penuh muslihat dan pembohongan, disokong oleh sebilangan bangsa Melayu sendiri yang liberal kononnya, yang telah kaya dan hanya mementingkan diri sendiri, yang fanatik agama dan sanggup menipu bangsa sendiri kononya atas perjuangan agama termasuk Melayu yang ada kepentingan politik dan dah kaya mahu kaya lagi hingga menongkat langit.
    Tun, Izinkan saya mengulas sedikit mengenai kenyataan Tengku Razaleigh oleh HBT456 pada Hari Kemerdekaan.
    Pada saya selepas membaca kenyataan Tengku Razaleigh itu termasuk memuji Tunku Abdul Rahman, peristiwa yang dah berlalu, biarlah berlalu, cukup-cukuplah.
    Bukan tujuan saya menghina kedua-dua pemimpin ini, tetapi negara kita sudah banyak raja, jadi cukuplah biarlah pula rakyat marhaen menjadi pemimpin.
    Era Tengku Razaleigh dan Tunku Abdul Rahman sudah berlalu dan tidak perlu dipuji melambung (kecuali orang yang ada kepentingan seperti HBT456) kerana akan membangkitkan perasaan marah orang Melayu yang sudah lama terpendam.
    Pada pendapat saya, Singapura tidak akan menjadi satu ancaman kepada kita hari ini jika masih berada dalam Malaysia dan jika Tunku tidak mengambil jalan mudah mengeluarkan Singapura daripada Malaysia.
    Sayang seribu kali sayang, sebahagian daripada tanahair kita sendiri kini sudah tergadai kepada orang asing malah menjadi satu ancaman kepada kita.
    Tun, harap-harap tidak ada lagi orang Melayu kita akan menggadai negara kita dan nasib bangsa sendiri pada masa-masa hadapan.
    Salam Tun.

33. Tun

    In a few words, you have succinctly encapsulated the birth of a Nation up to its presence today brilliantly.

    The strength of Merdeka through successive BN Governments together with your famous 22 year Administration up to 2003 spewed forth the good and the bad.

    Quote. ‘……..of people who only know how to hate and have done nothing to make this country better.’ Unquote.

    You have proven not to be a dictator arising from the recent orgy of vulgar name calling which is the hallmark of some. The Star. The Seah Chiang Nee Columns.

    I was one of those who were born when Hitler came into power.

    A famous personality remarked that he became the top leader when the majority of the Germans did not speak out against him and his Nazis and his methods. Thereafter, 2 million Germans and 2 million Jews died. And many millions more around the rest of the World.

    I am all for the present political-socio-economic structure with the legitimacy of the Malays to rule by traditional convention and practice together with the non-Malays through the BN as led by UMNO since Merdeka.

    There is no reason whatever to change this.

    Like any family, corporation or country, those responsible for scandals in politics should be made accountable with the rule of law.

    We must carry on with the foundations which we have built on since Merdeka 1957. The reasons are obvious.

    1) Our beloved country Malaysia is a small country with a diverse population of many different creeds and beliefs.

    2) The time and crisis formulae of the previous Alliance and the present BN have shown to be successful but needs to evolve in modern terms in keeping with generational change.

    3) It is important to have a leader who fits into the 3 Criteria of Prime Ministership :

    i) Commonsense. Tun Mahathir Mohamad leads a normal life with normal holidays.

    ii) The Ability to Think out of the Box. The system of highways now in existence and the many many more ventures from Merdeka to 2003.

    iii) Compassionate. Since many people regard Singapore as the benchmark, I suggest a review of this world class country for the believers.

    Malaysia has come to a crossroad for many reasons arising from the vested interests of the few and the ambitious.

    Any one who is not blind, can see her strategic geographical value inhabited by people with a reasonable turn of mind in this turbulent world which have done very well in domestic politics as led by the BN under the leadership of UMNO. And to add the icing to the cake, the bountiful resources as created by her citizens.

    And yet, the very people, a very few people with bags of money want to re-create a new world of their own even though their philosophies and beliefs are the same as the BN as led by the UMNO. How is it ? Something must be wrong somewhere ? Iconolclastic ?

    This is impossible to achieve at the present time due to the short time available to these adventurers and the embedded instincts of the good and great peoples of this beloved land.

    Therefore, I suggest it is more beneficial and contributory for both DAP and PAS to join the BN for the common good and without conditions !

    The Malays and the Malaysians are ready to rise to new heights of achievements and endeavours.

    Vote BN always all Malaysians especially the Malaysian Chinese !

    Merdeka ! Merdeka ! Merdeka !

34. Assallammualaikum Tun.
    Saya ambil ini dari Ihya Ulumiddin.Mudah-mudahan bermanafaat untuk kita.
    Abdul Wahid B Zaid berkata:Aku lalu di suatu permukiman salah seorang pendeta cina lalu aku memanggilnya ” Hai pendeta.”Dia tidak menyahut panggilan aku lalu aku panggilkan dia kali kedua juga dia tidak menyahut maka aku memanggil dia buat kali ketiga lalu dia mendekati aku dan berkata:”Hai orang ini.Tidaklah aku ini pendeta.Sesungguhnya pendeta ialah orang yang takut akan Allah pada ketinggianNya.Mengagungkan Allah pada kebesaranNya.Sabar atas percobaanNya.Redha dengan QadhaNya.MemujikanNya atas segala nikmatNya.Bersyukur atas nikmat-nikmatNya.Merendahkan diri kerana kebesaranNya.Merasa hina diri kerana kemuliaanNya.Menyerah bagi QudrahNya.Tunduk kerana kehebatanNya dan berfikir pada Al Hisab dan siksaanNya.Maka siangnya ia berpuasa dan pada malamnya ia berdiri menegakkan solah.Membawa ia tidak tidur oleh ingatan kepada neraka dan pertanyaan Tuhan Yang Maha Perkasa.Maka yang demikian itulah yang di namakan pendeta.
    Maka ada pun aku ini adalah seperti anjing yang melukakan.Aku tahan diriku dalam permukiman ini dari manusia supaya aku tidak melukakan mereka.Lalu aku bertanya: “Hai pendeta!Apakah yang memutuskan makhluk dari Allah sesudah mereka mengenalNya? Pendeta itu menjawab “Hai saudaraku..tidaklah yang memutuskan makhluk dari Allah selain oleh cinta dunia dan perhiasannya kerana dunia itu tempat maksiat dan dosa.Dan orang yang berakal ialah orang yang melemparkan dunia dari hatinya.Ia bertaubat kepada Allah Taala dari dosanya dan ia menghadap kepada yang mendekatkannya kepada TuhanNya..

    Terima kasih Tun.

    Many of those hooligans that trampled the Jalur Gemilang on the eve of 55th independence were mat rempit and even drug addicts who will do anything with the RM300 hard-to-get tucked into their pockets!
    They never bother/know that the new flag is a Singapura look-alike due to ignorance, and furthermoe they couldn’t be bothered.

    How can Anwar maniac and PKR resorted to such dirty tactics, and the so-called grand ladies of PKR (his wife and daughter) gave concurrence & full support even after having that knowledge??
    It just show how desperate and unlawful that Anwar maniac & family can become!

    That lawlessness attitude has always been his trademark since Tun appointed him as Finance Minister back in 1992. Being in full control of MONEY and with the power fully endorsed by Dato’ Seri Dr. Mahathir then, Anwar just lost/couldn’t control of his nafsu.

    Anwar and family have all become desperados!

36. Salam Tun and fellow bloggers,

    There are a lot of issues related to MERDEKA in Tun’s latest entry, especially about; Tun being a happy independent man, Malaysia being independent, about Tun and his freedom, his ‘bersyukur’ for being a Malaysian, his bad memories about certain incidents,etc.

    But my dear The Hidden Secret had to spoil Tun’s mood and mine too, so I minta laluan ye Tun, wanna discuss with dear The Hidden Secret;

    1. clearly what Tun had related are and were things that he likes and dislikes, so why do you need to say ‘this article is little bit unusual as you wrote about immature 19 years old…bla…bla…’ Actually you purposely wanted to link this issue to others whom you said did similar or worst things, especially the Perkasa or BN people.

    Tun just mentioned that he will not do such a thing like stepping on the picture of others, even those people who only know how to hate, have not contributed to this country…so what’s your problem The Hidden Secret? Itu Tun punya sukalah….you pun boleh suka-suka buat apa you mahu, tapi bila you suka-suka tunjuk tidak pandai, saya mahu ajar kasi pandailah…can aa?

    IT’S NOT ABOUT THIS ‘KID’ (in Islam he is already baligh or in psychology means he’s reached puberty, so our laws may treat him as juvenile and Islamic laws will treat him as an adult) BUT ABOUT HOW HATRED INSTILLED, MOTIVATED, SUPPORTED BY PR SUPREMO HIMSELF – HE PROVOKES PEOPLE LIKE ‘THIS KID’ TO DO ANTI-SOCIAL STUFFS. Must oppositions do this?

    Tun, or Dollah or Najib never instill hatred into party members or the laymen…but most leaders of PR preached hatred, particularly Anwar had used words like ‘haram jadah’, ‘anjing’ to BN leaders but not likewise. PAS and DAP leaders too showed hatred. My dear, try to attend their (PR) ceramah and then BN’s ceramah – then you will see the difference between instigating hatred (by PR) and sharing angry feelings (by BN)- oh yes, both have issues to address.

    Hadi Awang and Nik Aziz succeeded in making PAS malays hated UMNO malays – am I bluffing? Check for yourself…latest incident I supposed was about the PAS supporter divorced his UMNO-friendly wife, or about 2 imams, or about ‘gang-clash’ between the two?

    Please read or listen to Senator Ezam himself, who was Anwar’s right-hand man; he said Anwar instructed him (Ezam) to cause havoc if Anwar was found guilty – sure enough, Ezam organized the demonstration.

    Anwar reinforced his supporters’ wrongdoings like; violating the laws, violence, fighting the authorities, etc. by giving them encouragement. BN leaders are more polished, they will not encourage wrongdoings.

    The Hidden Secret himself admitted that members from both sides were guilty, that I agree. The only difference is PR supremo encourages wrongdoings but not Najib.

    2. The Hidden Secret asked ‘do these voters (PR) have hatred in their hearts?’ I don’t know, but looking at how PR supporters demonstrated violently, abusing the authorities, vandalizing, breaking all rules and regulations and laws, I dared say, they (maybe not all but most of them) have hatred in their hearts.

    3. Aiyaah, The Hidden Secret again tried to mislead us by saying as though PM Najib wanted us to ‘balas budi’
    (‘kini masa balas budi.).’ Who said this? I agreed when Najib said the present government fulfilled its promises but the opposition parties did not (fully – maybe partially). It’s true right? Janji ditepati because BN fulfilled what it had promised to deliver, sometimes over-delivered, but under-promised. PR over-promised but under-delivered. There is a malay proverb ‘ siapa makan cili dia terasa pedas…’ Maybe PR supporters like you ‘rasa pedas’ because your party did not deliver what you had promised.

    How to fulfill ‘janji’? PR is going all-out to rob the people and the states (under them) because they will be leaving soon…especially DAP making tons of money, but their counterparts are still ‘korek-hidung’, know nothing.

    For your info The Hidden Secret, PR won in last PRU due to several factors and not because PR is better or BN is rejected.

    4. Psst The Hidden Secret…when I read your writings in Tun’s blog, I think you are an innocent person, a gentleman (who wants justice), a peace-loving man, and all the good stuffs. You feel pain when you see the mainstream media, the BN people talking bad about PR people…but, not TOTALLY TRUE – How come you never complained about PR leaders clear-cut wrongdoings?
    a. Anwar and his anti-Malaysia stunts? his liberalism? his sexual ‘sickness’ (remember, all the judges who freed him admitted that sodomy took place)
    b. Lim Guan Eng being ‘Malaysia’s no 1 land broker – taking the land from the poor and passed to rich developers’
    c. Nik Aziz, Hadi Awang splitting the malays because of politics (or maybe this is what you want?)

    You can become a better person – seek the truth, read more about both groups. We are facing a dilemma, meaning both parties have weaknesses, but being a smart guy like you, you can choose a better one. Just be frank and honest to yourself. Salah kata salah, betul cakap betul…then your conscience will be clear.

37. Salam Tun,

    Ada di kalangan rakyat merasakan mereka masih di jajah. Mereka memberitahu dunia (sampai hari ini) bahawa mereka di tindas oleh orang Melayu yang beragama Islam.

    Extract from wikipedia.org: “On August 31, 2007, the 50th anniversary of Malaysia’s independence, P. Waytha Moorthy, a HINDRAF lawyer filed a class action suit against the Government of the United Kingdom at The Royal Courts of Justice in London for US$4 trillion (US$1 million for every Malaysian Indian) for “withdrawing after granting independence and leaving us (Indians) unprotected and at the mercy of a majority Malay-Muslim government that has violated our rights as minority Indians”[16] as guaranteed in the Federal Constitution when independence was granted.[17]”

    Walaupun peristiwa ini berlaku pada tahun 2007, sehingga sekarang golongan ini masih berpegang teguh kepada kepercayaan tersebut.

    Soalan:

    1. Adakah mereka ini golongan terpencil?

    2. Tahukah dari mana peruntukan wang untuk aktiviti penyebaran dakyah mereka di luar negara diperolehi?

    3. Tidakkah sesetengah tindakan mereka menjurus kepada pengkhianatan kepada negara?

    Selamat Menyambut Hari Kemerdekaan & Hari Malaysia!

38. Salam tun

    The hidden secret is not sincere and has hidden agenda. Nobody wears shoe inside a mosque and no way shoe was thrown inside a mosque at PR leader. No muslim will ever want to throw shoes inside a mosque. THIS IS A BIG LIE. He should apologize , he should not just condemn BN supporter without any evidence .
    There are a lot of lies/ bad things done by PR and he should know throwing shoes will not be possible inside a mosque . He is immature if he trust such nonsense things , especially when it came from a PR leader that will do what ever he can to be the next PM.

    Some BN supporters bend their butts at Ambiga house but never reveal their butts. I am tired on how aggressive the PR supporters as that are all immature, even showed their butts, step on PM photos etc. Same like hidden secret, they are all immature.

39. Asslamu’alaikum Tun,

    kalau hendak cakap soal Merdeka,tulis buku satu library pun tak akan cukup.Merdeka apa yg kita ada kalau anjing dan babi masih berkeliaran di sekeliling kita?

    ‘kemerdekaan’ ini cuma hadiah dari British di atas kesudian Tunku menggadai kepentingan Bangsa dgn memberi hak kerakyatan penuh kpd kuli-kuli import British dan golongan pelarian ekonomi.

    kita tidak berperang menghalau British keluar.tiada pertumpahan darah yg bererti.Tunku menghempas tutup pintu syahid bagi para syuhada kita dgn mengambil jalan mudah mengajak orang-orang berkongsi Tanah-air kita.

    dia halalkan banyak wilayah kita kpd Thailand dan Filipina.dan dia lepaskan Singapura ke tangan China dgn begitu mudah sekali.

    Badawi menyerahkan Pulau Batu Putih,Najib serahkan tanah KTM.sedang bangsa china terus mengasak Kerajaan Melayu melalui gundu-gundu seperti Anwar,Pas dan hidden secret konon nya atas dasar ‘demokrasi’ dan ‘silap-tadbir Umno’.

    digambarkan yg mereka tentang adalah Umno,namun hakikat nya sangat jelas gundu-gundu ini cuma alat menegak fahaman supramacist-china yg hendak mengulang kejayaan mereka merebut Singapura dan meminggirkan Bumiputra nya.

    dulu di Singapura ada Yusuf Ishak,Rahmat Kenap,Othman Wok dan sebagai nya yg bermati-matian berpihak dgn Lee kuanyew kerana menyangka berkongsi kuasa.namun berjanji dgn syaitan hanyalah mengundang bencana.

    kelihatan nya Nik Aziz,Anwar,hidden secret serta gundu-gundu nya hendak mengulang sejarah yg sama.

    Umno pun memang banyak yg tak betul.sesetengah pemimpin nya menjadikan rasuah sebagai makanan asasi.tapi itu bukanlah penyebab nya untuk kita mengundi PR.

    harus difahami benar-benar bahwa mengundi PR samalah dgn mengundi DAP.dan DAP tidak akan tunduk kpd PKR atau Pas.ini adalah supramacist-china yg setiap langkah nya di atur oleh LKY sendiri.

    kalau Pakatan menang,jgn sangka Anwar atau Pas dapat kekal di teraju.komposisi penduduk akan berubah dgn sangat cepat untuk menjadikan china sebagai bangsa majoriti.

    Tun,tarik lah orang-orang Melayu yg tidak puas-hati dgn Umno agar masuk menyertai Umno dan membetulkan nya dari dalam.
    kemerdekaan kita sedang terancam oleh kaum supramacist yg sangat bijak bermain jarum hasutan.Bumiputra perlu bersatu di belakang Umno.

    terimakasih Tun

40. Salam Tun berdua dan pembaca budiman semua.

    1. Dalam dunia ini ada entah berapa juta spesis makhluk, tetapi kita dipilih oleh Allah untuk dijadikan makhluk bernama MANUSIA.

    2. Didalam dunia ini ada berbilion manusia, tetapi kita dipilih ALLAH untuk dilahirkan sebagai orang MELAYU.

    3. Di dunia ini, Melayu ada di merata-rata tempat, tetapi ALLAH telah pilih untuk kita berada di bumi MALAYSIA.

    4. Malaysia, negara yang tiada taufan pemusnah, tiada tsunami pemusnah, tiada gunung berapi pemusnah, tiada gegaran bumi pemusnah.

    5. Yang ada di Malaysia hanyalah dugaan-dugaan kecil, sekali sekala banjir di utara atau selatan, sekali sekala ribut kuat sehingga melayang bumbung rumah, sekali sekala terbakar sederet kedai.

    6. Tetapi kasih sayang sesama rakyat MALAYSIA tetap utuh, perayaan kita tetap meriah, jiran-jiran kita walau pun berlainan warna kulit dan bahasa ibunda, tetap akan bertegur sapa penuh mesra.

    Hanya, masih ada segelintir yang walaupun sudah bertahun-tahun mempunyai Kad Pengenalan MALAYSIA, masih tak tahu berbahasa Melayu. Bukti ini ada di mana-mana. Tak percaya, dengarlah pemimpin mereka bercakap dalam Bahasa Kebangsaan kita. Saya yakin, tak sampai limat minit berteraburlah Bahasa, dan mereka akan bercakap dalam bahasa bekas penjajah. Orang yang sebegini- layakkah jadi pemimpin di bumi MALAYSIA? ( hmmmmmmmm……kesian makcik pakcik kat kampung yang tak paham bahasa orang putih kan? tiba-tiba pemimpin negara masuk kampung dia cakap bahasa omputih pulak- ini kalau tetiba diaorang ni jadi pemimpin lah…kot2 menang pru13 ker….hiiiiiii nauzubillah)

    7. Negara lain ada lebuhraya, kita pun ada. Negara lain ada lapangan terbang canggih, kita pun ada. Negara lain ada kereta sendiri, kita pun ada. Negara lain ada banyak universiti, kita pun ada, awam dan swasta lagi…

    8. Memanglah kalau hendak melihat dan mencari keburukan dan kelemahan rakyat dan negara ini- pasti akan jumpa. Tetapi sikap mencari-cari kelemahan untuk diperbesar-besarkan sedangkan terrlalu banyak kebaikan yang ada tetapi dilupakan adalah sikap yang tidak baik.

    9. Saya sayangkan negara saya, MALAYSIA. Saya teramat bersyukur, sudahlah saya orang MELAYU di MALAYSIA, malah ALLAH juga pilih saya mendapat hidayah Islam sebagai agama.

    10. Maka adalah sewajarnya saya panjatkan kesyukuran tidak terhingga kepada ALLAH SWT dan saya ucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada semua pejuang negara yang telah lalu, kepada TUN dan semua pemimpin negara sekarang yang siang malam berfikir, merancang dan berusaha memastikan rakyat MALAYSIA tenang, gembira dan sejahtera.

    Kalau tidak salah saya, mafhum hadith Nabi SAW : Sesiapa yang tidak berterima kasih kepada manusia, (dia) tidak bersyukur kepada ALLAH. Jadi sekali lagi, terima kasih semua rakyat MALAYSIA, yang mana susah payah dan penat lelah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan dalam bidang tugas masing-masing telah membuatkan saya dapat tidur lena di rumah dan dapat mencari rezeki dengan tenang di tempat kerja.

    aha… nanti adalah ya.. yang akan kata pemimpin sekarang korup, tak bagus…. Yalahhhh.. memang insan tak semuanya sempurna. Tetapi jika ditawarkan kepada saya pengganti seperti yang ditawarkan oleh pihak sana sekarang, saya tetap akan pilih yang memimpin negara sekarang. Kerana yang ditawarkan sebagai pengganti pun- alamak!!!! Tak pandai langsung mengurustadbir negeri 3 kerat yang ada. CACA MERBA…! Saya tak nak biarkan ketenteraman yang sedang saya kecapi sekarang tergadai…

    11. Semoga MALAYSIA terus berada di dalam rahmat dan perlindungan ALLAH SWT, maju, sejahtera, berjaya, untuk semua rakyatnya yang berbilang bangsa dan agama.

    12. Semoga pemimpin-pemimpin negara terus berani menjaga maruah negara- yang tak lekang-lekang diserang oleh orang-orang yang diperdayakan untuk percaya bahawa MALAYSIA sangat teruk dan buruk. Sedangkan yang teruk dan buruk itu adalah cerminan diri mereka sendiri.

    MERDEKA!!!!!! And I intend to say this over and over again with a raised Jalur Gemilang and to the tune of NEGARAKU.

    Semoga ALLAH SWT perkenankan.

    sikenit-
    p/s:
    terhutang budi kepada wajaperak yang sudi menegur kekhilafan saya dalam memetik kata-kata hikmah. Boleh saya tahu dalam Ihya’ bab mana yang dinukil hadith itu? :p

41. salam Tun,

    there’s one more thing that frightens me…
    the infamous Chinadoll who stepped on our PM’s photo have a very poor command of Bahasa Malaysia! In other words she don’t understand Malay!

    hmmm…I wonder if the poor girl fathom the Rukunegara and how in the world would she understand the meaning of our national anthem NegaraKu?

    Maybe she just hums along to the tune like some of our friends south of the border perhaps?

    Somebody should do something bout this!

42. salam Tun,

    to the forever hidden secret,

    I think it is more frightening that there are people like you who are trying to mislead other people.

    I think it is more frightening that there are people trying to change this beloved country into a republic.

    I think it is more frightening that there are people who are happy to destroy this beloved nation by accepting money from suspicious and smelly NGOs and individuals from abroad.

    I think it is more frightening that there are people who will try to destroy the values that we hold so dearly in the name of so called democracy and human rights when they themselves are oh so guilty of democracy and human rights abuses.

    Dear Tun,

    Recently you have written too many politically influenced articles in your blog.By doing so, now everyone knows that BN is not in a good position to win in the next general election.

    .. The way I see it… he is just an immature 19 years old college student. It is more frightening to see despicable acts of mature adult of UMNO and PERKASA members. Their despicable acts were never been reported by the mainstream media… They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations.//

    1-I think I agree with you Bro Hidden Secrets that inspite of Tun’s declared confidence that the BN will win 2/3 again..deep in his heart he knows that things may not be true at all.I can sense that the anti BN sentiment is stronger now than ever,even in 2008..Its quite frightening.

    2-In my brother in law’s kampong in Pengkalan Hulu..the ustazs through their religious ceramahs succeeded in turning what was a traditionally BN stronghold into Anwar’s supporters almost “lock,stock and barrel”..

    3-Religion which the UMNO people has not successfully exploited because of their ‘secular’ image is being used by the ‘religious’ opposition to the max..even a questionable character like Anwar has the nerve to use it to project his waraq personality.

    4-Simpletons will buy into these strategy because they believe that nobody would bluff in the masjids.But of course we know better what people would or won’t do for power and money..

    5-Anwar is going for broke..”this is my last try..”.His gullible followers is working hard to make sure that he’ll win because another chance,won’t be coming.Anwar’s istiqomah is really frightening.

    6-That is why BN/Perkasa has got to do what they’ve got to do..

    7-Tun BN has got to stop this exploitation of the masjids by hook or by crook before its too late,,or 2012 will be a Tsunami worse than the one that struck Acheh…..

    8-Both are only spreading hatred..esp of Rosmah(no 1) ,Najib (no 2) and Tun (no 3) ..not too sure of no 2 and 3 but dead sure of no 1 though.

    Thanks Tun

44. Dear Tun,
    You have said right again and again… just dont understand why many cant understand and being very narrow minded… My sincere advice to all that not satisfied with our country pls leave to whereever that you think its better but dont stir trouble here…take care Tun.

45. YAB,

    45. http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/9/10/nation/11999070&sec=nation

    46. Why Singapore Government is having this barred age?

    47. If the Government does not take action now, PAP will be voted out in next general election.

    48. Poverty is a very complex issues that requires long term strategy.

    49. Today, Malaysians of all races are being robbed daily.

    50. Road accidents in Malaysia is one of the highest.

    51. Why?

    52. Because our BN is more interested to garner votes in order to win election only.

    53. We have 1st class infra structure but 3rd world mentality.

    54. Because our government is more interested in winning general election than managing the country.

    55. That’s nothing wrong with our system.

    That’s all YAB.

46. YAB,

    40. No one want to be poor or marginalized.

    41. But that does not mean that they can abuse the power and trust of the people given to them to get rich first by raping the country wealth.

    42. YAB pointed pointed out that 27. And in ASEAN. Singapore has done well. But the people seem unhappy. 15% of the population are treated as second class citizens. They are poor. The other countries are so so.

    43. In ASEAN. Kedah has not done well. But the people seem to be happy via que sera sera. 15% of the population are treated as 2nd class citizen. They are rich. The other countries are so so.

    44. That’s why they migrate to other developed states for themselves and children to excel further for the rest of their lives.

    Good day, YAB.

47. assalamualaikum,

    tidak dinafikan kemajuan malaysia sekarang adalah hasil daripada polisi-polisi kerajaan pimpinan BN.
    tiada manusia yang sempurna tetapi untuk memilih PKR memimpin malaysia jawapannya TIDAK…too much of the risks for future of malaysia.

49. Tun,
    Izinkan saya menjawap The Hidden Secret dan Halu.
    Dear The Hidden Secret and Halu.I know both of you have your own hidden secret agendas to fufill.Eventhou i am a non partisan, please stop putting the blame on UMNO dan Perkasa just because both of you hates this two organizations.
    A youth at the age of 19 years old and a college student is no longer an immature child and changing the design of a Malaysian flag is not a joke to laugh at.
    You may not like Perkasa but what its leaders says is true since UMNO is no longer capable in defending the Malays rights.As the saying says, ‘the truth sometimes hurts’.
    The oppositions wins five states in the previous GE is not because all the voters likes PR but because they are fed up with the previous adminstrations.
    I am confident BN will prevail in the next GE.When BN wins, maybe you and Halu can both pack up your bags and go to the secret garden that you craves.
    Salam Tun.

50. Salam hormat Yg Bhg Tun,

    Hari ulangtahun kemerdekaan Malaysia seharusnya disambut dengan upacara yang bersesuaian dengan hasrat, tujuan dan tema sambutan. Dukacita ada pihak-pihak tertentu khusunya Pakatan Pembangkang (PKR, DAP & Pas) mempuyai agenda yang berlainan dengan menganjurkan satu Perhimpunan Janji Bersih menjelang hari sambutan ulangtahun kemerdekaan ke 55 pada 30 Ogos, 2012 dengan aktiviti mencemarkan nama baik pemimpin (memijak potret kepimpinan negara) dan mengibarkan bendera Merah Putih yang kononnya akan menggantikan Jalur Gemilang apabila Pakatan Pembangkang dapat mengambil alih kepimpinan negara pada pilihanraya ke 13. Perilaku sedemikian diakui sendiri oleh kepimpinan muda (Angkatan Muda Keadilan/AMK). Tema perhimpunan yang menjanjikan bersih tiada memberi apa-apa erti apabila tindakan bercirikan tamadun lapuk menjadi amalan segelintir kepimpinan tertinggi Pakatan Rakyat khususnya Parti Keadilan Rakyat.

    2. Perbuatan segelintir anak muda memijak gambar kepimpinan tertinggi negara dan mengibarkan bendera baru buat ganti Jalaur Gemilang sudah tentu didalangi oleh sebahagian kepimpinan tertinggi Pakatan Rakyat. Remaja berusia 19 tahun penuntut institusi pengajian tinggi swasta itu yang turut terlibat dalam perbuatan yang tidak bertamadun itu menjadi mangsa hasutan oleh sebahagian kepimpinan Pakatan Rakyat bagi tujuan politik. Ianya seolah-olah menunjukkan kepada mata rakyat bahawa rakyat dari peringkat remaja dan dewasa begitu kuat menyokong corak kepimpinan Pakatan Rakyat untuk boleh menumbangkan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional dalam pilihanraya umum ke 13.

    3. Corak politik Pakatan Rakyat yang sering mempengaruhi sentiman dan emosi rakyat untuk membenci kerajaan sedia ada (UMNO/BN) dengan menyebarkan berbagai dakyah, fitnah dan menafikan 100% apa juga usaha kerajaan demi kebaikan negara dan rakyat Malaysia. Pakatan Rakyat mengamalkan corak politik yang tidak bertamadun dengan mengenepikan prinsip-perinsip amalan murni berpolitik secara berilmu, professional dan maju bersesuaian dengan perubahan dan kemajuan ketamadunan rakyat Malaysia yang dijana melalui berbagai bentuk pembangunan oleh kerajaan Barisan Nasional semenjak MERDEKA lebih dari 55 tahun yang lalu.

    4. Ketua Pembangkang sendiri semasa menganggotai kabinet kerajaan Barisan Nasional jawatan terakhir sebelum disingkirkan sebagai Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap Menteri Kewangan telah sama-sama Perdana Menteri pada waktu itu Yg Bhg Tun Dr. Mahathir mengetuai kepimpinan negara, sama-sama mencurahkan idea bagi pembangunan negara untuk kepentingan rakyat. Setelah disingkirkan dan mengambil tindakan menjadi pembangkang, beliau sendiri menafikan usaha-usaha kerajaan Barisan Nasional yang beliau pernah menganggotainya sebagai lapuk dan tidak baik sama sekali, sehinggakan diburukkan lagi imej negara sendiri semasa di luar negara. Jika diambil kira aspek jati diri pemimpin seperti itu boleh dianggap sebagai tiada kualiti jati diri yang tulin terhadap negara tempat lahirnya sendiri semata-mata atas kepentingan politik peribadinya. Mengikut sejarah politik di Malaysia terdapat ramai dikalangan pemimpin samada dari kepimpinan kerajaan atau pembangkang yang disingkirkan tidak pula mengambil tindakan yang boleh menjejaskan jati diri dan imej negara seperti apa yang dilakukan oleh ketua pembangkang dimasa kini. Tepuk dada dan tanyalah diri, minda dan selera kita sendiri adakah sesuai pemimpin seperti itu disokong untuk diangkat menjadi pemimpin utama negara?? Itu belum mengambil kira isu moral yang masih lagi menjadi pertikaian dan persoalan oleh majoriti rakyat Malaysia. Sama-samalah kita membuat renungan yang mendalam demi kesejahteraan negara dan rakyat Malaysia pada keseluruhannya.

    Sekian, terima kasih dan wassalam untuk semua.

51. Asalamualaikom YDH TUN,
    I would like to comment on Hidden Secret statement, He seems to be one of the few Malaysian who still condone the immorale and disgusting behaviour of our youth who are being exploited by the opposition to do do their dirthy jobs. I suppose he would not be ashame if the same behaviour is performed by his children, as its the mentality and upbringing that he must have been taught by his parents. There is no excuse to have that mentality just bcos other people are doing it, does not mean that u can do it and its become right. And to capped it he did mentioned that the student doing it is immature..how immature can u be when u are 19 and now attending college so jangan lah cube menegahkan benang yang basah hidden secret. And if u are very matured hidden secret, u should be ashamed at the immorale behaviour of that student, instead of supporting it and sending a confuse massage to out youth today. As a responsible person u should as a matured citizen reprimand these type of behaviour, kalau hitam tu katekan hitam dan jangan yang hitam tu dikatekan puteh oleh kerana kepentingan politik kamu yang sempit. Malaysia does not need this type of attitude andbehaviour.
    Wassalam TUN, jage kesihatan tun, we need your imput much more now..

52. Salam
    YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Yg DiRahmati Allah s.w.t.

    1. Kami bangga menjadi rakyat negara Malaysia.

    2. Kami pun kibar bendera setiap kali datangnya bulan kemerdekaan.

    3. Dan…………….. kami sentiasa berterima kasih kepada pejuang-pejuang kemerdekaan.

    4. Kami doakan kebaikan dah rahmat dari Allah s.w.t untuk semua Perdana Menteri Malaysia dan pasukannya yang telah bertungkus lumus mensejahterakan rakyat Malaysia.

    Terima kasih

53. Dear Tun,

    Thank you for sharing your experience.

    2. Election is around the corner. I do not think the oppositions will remain strong as they were in the last election. In fact, I still believe what made them won last time was their deceptive campaign which was ‘not to win, but to deny the 2/3 majority’.

    3. With the weak administration last time, people started thinking to give the government a wake up call. When each voter in each constituency thought that way, the oppositions would have a chance of winning the entire election, not just denying the 2/3 majority.

    4. But somehow, the oppositions did not win the entire election. They only managed to deny the 2/3 majority. They were frustrated. They could not accept the fact that their master plan did not fully work. In denial, they blamed the Election Commission for being biased.

    5. I am sure in the forthcoming election, there will be more deceptions by the oppositions. That is fine. What worries me is their reactions when they discover that their master plan do not work once again.

54. Salam Mulia YAB TUN Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad, thanks for reminding our history to our younger generation again and again,my history teacher has told me that as well,and told@teach us to respect our INDEPENDENCE,STAND STRAIGHT@HONOR OUR FLAG WHEN IT’S RAISED AND WHEN LISTEN TO OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.PROUD TO BE MALAYSIAN thanks to my TEACHERS from ST XAVIER’S PENANG. When students go abroad they forget their roots,acting like born overseas,in fact many foreigners are coming to MALAYSIA for their second home plan and some are not going back at all. This is because they see our country is very PEACEFULL. The parents too has to play their role and informing about our past and history instead of telling hatred stories to them.if not a 19 year old student won’t be stepping on JALUR GEMILANG on the 55th day of MERDEKA CELEBRATION,and another group are raising different flag and showing bums to our Prime MInister,wife and EC Chairman. these people clearly doesn’t know the value of our INDEPENDENCE, and how our freedom fighters sacrificed, struggled to get this independence. I truly believe those who has negative feeling inside them and doesn’t know how to appreciate the meaning of this independence, i urge them to stay at home in future and doing their own business rather than going out and flash their stupidity to the world. They should be ashamed of themselves because that attitude clearly shows that they are so ungrateful to the country and it’s past and present leader.MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA!!!!!!

55. Dear Tun,

    Recently you have written too many politically influenced articles in your blog.

    By doing so, now everyone knows that BN is not in a good position to win in the next general election.

    For me, this article is a bit unusual as you wrote about an immature 19 years old college student who stepped on DS Najib’s and his beautiful wife’s picture. The way I see it… he is just an immature 19 years old college student. It is more frightening to see despicable acts of mature adult of UMNO and PERKASA members. Their despicable acts were never been reported by the mainstream media. They are the real people who only know how to hate and have done nothing to make this country better, not an immature 19 years old college student. By doing what they did they have demonstrated that they and the people who lead them are unfit to rule this independent country. They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations.

    Rgds.

56. Peace!

    From the total of 7,878,875 voters in Malaysia’s 12th General Election in 2008, 3,796,464 voters (46.75%) voted for PR. Any of these voters steps on DS Najib’s picture? Do these voters have hatred in their heart? Do these voters have no contribution to Malaysia? Majority of these voters are from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Selangor, Perak, Kedah and Kelantan. Do they not contribute to those states? Do they not love their country? Do they not cherish the freedom and merdeka which they are enjoying now?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_general_election,_2008

    Rgds.

57. Ya.. MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

58. Salam again Tun,

    1. BN shows a lot to the rakyat on the why, who, when, where, what and how to ensure Malaysia remains Merdeka, right?

    2. Therefore I can safely say that BN supporters agree to these actions, thus voting for BN.

    3. So since BN is still in power, with more votes than oppositions, therefore I can safely infer that more people want a MERDEKA Malaysia…even though physically we can see people runnung down Malaysia, not flying the Jalur Gemilang, opposing the government by violating the laws, etc.

    4. We must not forget that the 12th PRU was the PRU whereby the incidences of damaged votes, lower turn-out of voters and protest votes being given to the opposition…so they won. They won because UMNO people sabotaged the party due to Dollah and son-in-law’s antics, because the people were pissed off with Dollah at that time for his ineffectiveness, not because the opposition is better. Therefore, again I can say that BN supporters are more than the opposition’s. BN suppoerters who ‘merajuk’ and ‘tunjuk perasaan’ but still BN supporters.

    5. So please, those who had ‘merajuk’ and ‘tunjuk perasaan’, please come back to make Malaysia a sovereign nation, ada maruah, pride and stop the opposition supporters who will drag us down with them when Malaysia goes down – ever heard anwar and his Nurul praise Malaysia when they are abroad? That’s not opposition’s function but rather a traitor’s.

59. Salam YAB Tun and fellow bloggers,

    MERDEKA is a state of mind.

    What is the main condition to become someone with MERDEKA mind?

    By having high self-concept and abiding the RUKUN NEGARA;

    What is self-concept? How you perceived yourself, how you look at yourself from physical aspect, knowledge, skills, et is your self-concept.

    If you say or think you are an independent/merdeka person, you behave accordingly….therefore, individually you want to be merdeka and likewise, you want your country to become a MERDEKA nation too.

    My own experience;
    I called a senior, experienced graduate officer, ‘tuan’…..his first response was..’janganla panggil saya tuan…’
    I forgot and called him ‘tuan’ agai, and his reply was ‘saya bukan tuan…’
    I forgot again and called him ‘tuan’…he responded angrily ‘ saya kata saya bukan tuan, jangan panggil saya tuan…’

    My conclusion: someone may be a graduate, with experiences, matured, but not necessarily a ‘merdeka’ person, because he perceived himself as a nobody, a humble servant, a worker not a master (tuan)…..He cannot be merdeka-minded because he actually has low or negative self-concept.

    Another personal experience;

    A friend who I dared say having positive or high self-concept. He is almost excellent in his undertakings, tasks, assignments, etc…oh ya, he is a MERDEKA man, feels free to be himself, man of principles…BUT, he could not be bothered with this country..he will take the best of this country but will not hesitate to leave this country if trouble arises – meaning, ‘cabut’ to greener pasture! and willing to stay, even though with foreign masters, provided he has wealth and free to do his stuffs.

    My conclusion: positive self-concept cannot guarantee one loves to become merdeka man (maybe just to be merdeka to do what one pleases), but not wanting Merdeka for his country.

    Therefore, having positive or high self-concept alone is not enough to have merdeka-minded mind.

    With RUKUN NEGARA; believing and practising them, insyaAllah we can become better citizens of Malaysia.

    a) Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan; all religions preach good stuffs and therefore religious citizens will not do nonsenses, right?

    b) Kesetiaan kepada Raja dan Negara; we have a system, demokrasi, beraja, berparlimen…if the rakyat wants BN, follow BN, if the rakyat wants PR, then we follow their rule – we do not sabotage, instigate hate, provoking…we do what is good for Malaysia, not sabotaging her.

    c) Keluhuran perlembagaan; just follow our constitutions. Why create conflicts by attacking the malay special positions spelled out in the perlembagaan and caused havoc? Non-Bumis can practise their religions, cultures, speaking their mother tongues,, etc…the non-bumis cannot be stripped of their citizenships (unless they themselves do not want to be the rakyat anymore) even though they cannot speak the malay language, or fight against the government or the laws – they are being protected by our constitution. The malays (except for the angry extremists) can accept these. Check-out other countries; one fine example, in Indonesia, Thailand, Phillipines…any chinese names?

    d) Kedaulatan undang-undang ; I dared say the opposition parties members, followers and sympathizers broke the laws more often then BN followers, right? As if our country has no laws at all, these people just want to express themsellves without limits – my god…even the animals have their jungle laws. too many incidents whereby these PR supporters broke the laws of this country…and obviously their leaders are their models!

    e) Kesopanan dan kesusilaan; again, members of PR showed a total lack of kesopanan dan kesusilaan – again, too many proofs and incidents.

    Conclusions ; Positive self-concept plus following the 5 pillars of RUKUN NEGARA can help us to become merdeka person., dunia and akhirat.

60. Assalamualaikum W.B.T. Yg Bhg Tun,

    Izinkan sya membuat komen atas isu MERDEKA yang Tun paparkan dalam bahasa ibunda kita Bahasa Malaysia. Alhamdulillah seluruh isi kandungan paparan Tun (dalam bahasa inggeris) amat jelas, dipercayai bersandarkan fakta yang benar dan mudah difahami.

    2. sebagai seorang warganegara tulin Malaysia, berusia melebihi 65 tahun, lahir tahun 1947 selepas perang dunia kedua (era penjajahan Jepun 1941-1945, dan selepas UMNO ditubuhkan dalam tahun 1946). Tidak banyak maklumat saya perolehi melalui orang-orang lama tentang sejarah negara Malaya/Persekutuan Tanah Melayu/Malaysia semasa usia remaja saya. Hanya sedikit maklumat melalui pelajaran sejarah disekolah rendah dan menengah. Golongan remaja/generasi muda masa kini kelihatan begitu terpinggir dari mengetahui sepenuhnya sejarah negara Malaysia, dan ekoran dari itu maka mereka terlalu mudah dipengaruhi, diperalatkan oleh anasir-anasir anti establishment yang bermatlamatkan politik murahan dan tidak bercirikan ketamadunan negara dan rakyat Malaysia. Maka berlakulah dengan begitu mudah perbuatan segelintir anak muda memijak dan menghina potret pemimpin, ingin menukar jalur gemilang apabila pakatan pembangkang beroleh kejayaan mengambil alih pentadbiran negara dari UMNO/BN.

    3. Apakah perbuatan sedemikian (memijak gambar pemimpin dan mmengibar bendera ciptaan mereka sebagai ganti jalur gemilang dalam perhimpunan yang menjanjikan bersih atau bertemakan Janji Bersih di Dataran Merdeka pada 30 Ogos 2012 menjelang sambutan hari Kemerdekaan ke 55 negara Malaysia boleh dianggap perbuatan yang bersesuaian dengan budaya dan etika kehidupan, budaya beragama, budaya rakyat Malaysia yang berbilang bangsa?? Sudah tentu budaya sedemikian amat tidak bersesuaian dengan sosio budaya Malaysia yang telah berkembang maju setelah kita mencapai kemerdekaan lebih dari 55 tahun yang lalu. Malah perbuatan sedemikian amat memalukan dan tidak menunjukkan ciri-ciri ketamadunan rakyat Malaysia. Inikah corak baru budaya ciptaan pembangkang yang diketuai oleh Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim bagi negara dan rakyat Malaysia bagi meraih kuasa politik untuk kepentingan peribadinya dan segelintir kepimpinanm Pas dan DAP dalam Pakatan Rakyat??

    4. Politik kebencian terhadap UMNO/BN yang dimainkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat (PKR. DAP & Pas) amat tidak bersesuaian dengan situasi kemajuan ketamadunan negara dan rakyat Malaysia. Perjuangan politik haruslah berlandaskan perinsip-perinsip ketamadunan pemikiran rakyat dan kemajuan negara Malaysia, berlandaskan realiti bukan emosi kebencian dan mencipta berbagai andaian dan tohmahan tanpa fakta yang jelas dan benar terhadap parti lawan. Amatlah rugi bagi negara dan rakyat Malaysia jika kita memilih corak kepimpinan politik yang diamalkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat (PKR, DAP & Pas). Sindrom menafikan segala kebaikan yang terbukti nyata memberikan faedah terbaik kepada rakyat dan negara Malaysia selepas Merdeka selama lebih 55 tahun yang lalu oleh Pakatan Rakyat amatlah tidak benar dan semestinya ditolak oleh pengundi pada pilihanraya umum ke 13 nanti. UMNO dan Barisan Nasional yang telah terbukti berupaya membangunkan negara demi kesejahteraan rakyat mestilah diberi sokongan oleh majoriti rakyat yang benar-benar ada ketulinan jati diri sebagai rakyat Malaysia dan sayangkan negara Malaysia yang tercinta ini. Persetankan angan-angan tinggi Pakatan Rakyat untuk mengambil alih kepimpinan negara.

    Sekian, terima kasih dan wassalam.

61. YABhg Tun,

    ” I merely followed what others were doing “… Ong Xin Yi was quoted as saying in one of the local papers. The model was accused of stepping on the photographs of the PM. My dear….you are lucky the others we not eating…..sh..!! And, you action only prove that you’re no better……..

62. Salam Tun.

    Referring to the propose new Malaysian ‘whatnot-called’ flag which has the full concurrance of that self-established/proclaimed king Anwar the maniac, it justifies the hidden hands behind all the political malaise that is happening in Malaysia.
    That little shark called ‘ikan yu’ and/or his racist lot from Singapura is undoubtedly pushing for an identical looking flag as Singapura’s!!
    How dare ikan yu and & his racist lot being so blunt and openly declared their involvement and intentions!!!
    Or is it that Anwar maniac and his taksub supermorons are hoping that the ‘whatnot-called’ flag will help to convince ikan yu to give immediate & much stronger support than they presently received??

    Ikan yu, the undisputed no. 1 Malay enemy, never fully satisfied after gobbling up everything from the Singapura Malays, not even leaving behind the tiniest of scraps for the descendants of Sang Nila Utama & Hang Nadim. He is making sure that the puppet called Anwar maniac will deliver Malaysia to him on their conditions!

    Sedarlah Melayu, dahlah kita sedang dihimpit & dihina oleh pendatang2 yang tak sedar asalusul & yang langsung tak tahu erti berterimakasih saperti donplaypuks, joker juks, dtan, tuacheng, ecompute dll, kini mereka menggunakan Anwar maniac untuk merealisasikan sepenuhnya niat buruk mereka.

    Now that tok guru(?) Nik Aziz’s thinking has become obsolete, PAS supporters should wake up and reassess their role for the benefit of Malay & Islam.

65. Askm Tun,
    Semuga kita semua rakyat Malaysia terus di rahmati Allah SWT dan kita semua terutama ibu bapa & para pendidik perlu menasihati semua generasi muda supaya sedar dgn keESAan Allah SWT yg Maha Berkuasa atas segala2nya dari bumi dan langit, supaya mereka sentiasa bersyukur atas nekmat Allah SWT dan menjadi warga negara Malaysia, sebuah negara yg unique ini di dunia ini, yg aman & makmur.

    Di sini saya ingin mengharapkan pihak yg bertanggungjawab supaya mengenali bahawa KUNCI yg akan dapat memberi panduan kpd generasi muda & yg akan datang ialah ILMU yg terkandung dalam Quran ( kebenaran kitab yg tidak patut diragui ) & Hadith selain dari ilmu dunia atas hasil usaha cerdik pandai manusia. Ilmu dunia semata2 tidak menjamin mereka2 itu menjadi insan yg bersyukur kpd Allah SWT. Berilah kesedaran bahawa utk kebahagian di dunia & akhirat, mengaji ilmu Quran & Hadith itu wajib atas setiap Muslim.

    Tulisan Tun sungguh dan memang patut menyetuhi hati bagi rakyat yg bersyukur dan patut menjadi pembuka mata & hati mereka2 yg masih tidak ada otak utk berfikir atas kebaikan. bukan keburukan.

    Semuga kita semua dilindungani Allah SWT dari pengaruh syaitan & ajen2nya.

66. Peace.

    I realised that running a country is not like running a company.

    http://bigthink.com/politeia/countries-are-not-like-corporations

    However, there are commonalities between running a country and a company.

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2012/07/23/is-running-a-country-like-running-a-company-should-it-matter/

    Let us imagine that Malaysia is a company… Let us imagine that Malaysia is Malaysia Berhad, let us imagine that the citizens of Malaysia are the shareholders and the politicians in our government are the chairman and directors while the government staffs are the managers and employees of Malaysia Berhad.

    As shareholders of Malaysia Berhad, the citizens of Malaysia will appoint the chairman and directors of Malaysia Berhad whom then will protect and act on the interest of the shareholders. This appointment is ON A CONTRACT BASIS. The chairman and directors will then be paid accordingly, will be given allowances and perks. If the majority shareholders are unhappy with the chairman and directors, the majority shareholders may appoint new chairman and directors after their contract expired.

    All this will be done in a PROFESSIONAL MANNER. There shall be no issue on ‘jasamu dikenang’ or ‘janji ditepati’ or ‘janji tidak ditepati’ or ‘janji demokrasi’ etc as the chairman and directors were paid by the shareholders to carry out their duties.

    The followings are the sources of capital entrusted by the shareholders of Malaysia Berhad to the chairman, directors, managers and staffs of Malaysia Berhad :-

    1. Corporate income tax.
    2. Individual income tax.
    3. Sales tax.
    4. Service tax.
    5. Excise duty.
    6. Licences.
    7. Permits.
    8. Summons.
    9. Fines and penalties.
    10. Revenues other than the above.

    The chairman, directors, managers and staffs of Malaysia Berhad are entrusted to manage the above capitals in the interest of the Malaysia Berhad’s shareholders.

    It is true that most of us do not experience what happened in Malaysia before 1957. However, some of the members from both camps of candidates (BN and PR) do have similar experience with Tun Mahathir prior to 1957. Other than Tun Mahathir, Nik Aziz (born in 1931 in Kelantan) and Karpal Singh (born in 1940 in Penang) also have the SIMILAR experienced as they were from Kelantan and Penang. Anwar Ibrahim (born in 1947 in Penang) and Lim Kit Siang (born in 1941 in Johore) also have experience living in British Malaya.

    Now things have change in Malaysia. Now, PR is not only an opposition party. PR is now a legitimate government in Penang, Kedah, Kelantan and Selangor. The MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN PENANG, KEDAH, KELANTAN, SELANGOR, PERAK AND KUALA LUMPUR have chose PR. PR HAS MAJORITY VOTES IN THESE FIVE STATES AND ALSO IN THE FEDERAL TERRITORY OF KUALA LUMPUR. This has never happen before.

    As a shareholder of Malaysia Berhad, it is our right to appoint the chairman and directors of Malaysia Berhad and WE WILL APPOINT THEM IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER WITHOUT BEING DEBTED TO ANY PARTY. HENCE, WE WILL REJECT THE IDEA OF “KINI MASA BALAS BUDI” AS WE, THE SHAREHOLDER OF MALAYSIA BERHAD ARE NOT DEBTED TO ANY OF OUR FORMER CHAIRMAN AND DIRECTORS. However, WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RECOGNIZE THEIR SERVICE, AND WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR SERVICE.

    All of us cherish our Merdeka celebration regardless of which political parties we support.

67. “Merdeka” is not just a slogan its something that we need to understand and cherish.

    To me two parties is to be blame for the indicent at the Dataran Merdeka on the eve of Merdeka night.

    First the party that instigated the people to do what they did and second the party that create the controversial.

68. Y.A.B Tun,
    Better the devil you know than the angel you don’t.

    Banyak pihak yang telah membuat salah tafsir ungkapan ini sehingga menimbulkan banyak fitnah . Tadi semasa kutbah jumaat disabuah masjid di Ampang, khatib yang membaca kutbah telah membuat tafsiran yang salah maksud sebenar ungkapan tersebut.

    Saya rasa elok Tun membuat kenyataan resmi menghuraikan maksud sebenar ungkapan tersebut supaya orang awam tidak dikelirukan oleh pendakwah-pendakwah PAS yang sempit fahaman mereka dan mempolitikannya disetiap masjid dan surau yang mereka kuasai.

    Saya sendiri menjadi tidak tenteram semasa khutbah disampaikan dan melontarkan fitnah yang tidak betul mengenai tafsiran ungkapan tersebut.

    iklas,
    Rahim

69. Peace!

    Anyone knows who peed on Nik Aziz’s picture?

    Anyone knows who showed their sexy buttocks in front of Ambiga’s house?

    Anyone knows who threw shoes to Anwar Ibrahim in a mosque?

    They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations.

    The truth is… there are only small minority of the supporters of both political parties who misbehaved. Supporters of both political parties will try to leverage on this issue.

    The majority of both political parties do not misbehave but… they keep silence when the other supporters of the same political party which they support misbehaved.

    Rgds.

70. Peace.

    I also will not going to step on the pictures of any people and I also will not going to throw shoes to any people (whether in the mosque or anywhere), and I will also not going to show my buttock in front of Ambiga’s house or to the photo of DS Najib Razak and his beautiful wife.

    Shame on both political party supporters.

    Dua-dua pon sama saja. Penyokong parti lain buat tak senonoh dia ‘kondem’ tapi bila penyokong parti dia buat tak senonoh dia senyap aje.

    Bila Amerika mengamalkan ‘double standard’ dia ‘kondem’ tapi, dia sendiri pon mengamalkan ‘double standard’.

    Rgds.

71. Assalamualaikum Tun,

    1. It is shameful to see the media channel of PR, Malaysiakini twist the facts in their favour regarding the flag and respect issues. Just like their LGE says, “Shame on you”, back at you.

    3. What’s wrong is wrong. To them there is no shame to use some facts and twist them to the benefit of own.

    4. As a person from a generation who didn’t experience the struggle, let me echo your Merdeka spirit. Merdeka!

    Thanks Tun.

72. Good morning YAB,

    31. Subject: MALAYSIA — An excellent speech by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah in UK – A Wake-up Call

    An excellent speech by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (former Malaysian Finance Minister) in UK

    Thank you for inviting me to speak with you. I am truly honoured. I have played some small role in the life of this nation, but having been on the wrong side of one or two political fights with the powers that be, I am not as close to the young people of this country as I would hope to be.

    History, and the 8 o’clock news, are written by the victors. In recent years the government’s monopoly of the media has been destroyed by the technology revolution.

    You could say I was also a member of the UKEC. Well I was, except that belonged to the predecessor of the UKEC by more than fifty years, The Malayan Students Union of the UK and Eire. I led this organisation in 1958/59. I was then a student of Queen’s University at Belfast, in a rather cooler climate than Kota Bharu’s.

    Your invitation to participate in the MSLS was prefaced by an essay which calls for an intellectually informed activism. I congratulate you on this. The Youth of today, you note, “will chart the future of Malaysia.” You say you “no longer want to be ignored and leave the future of our Malaysia at the hands of the current generation.”

    You “want to grab the bull by the horns… and have a say in where we go as a society and as a nation.”I feel the same, actually. A lot of Malaysians feel the same. They are tired of being ignored and talked down to by swaggering mediocrities.

    You are right. The present generation in power has let Malaysia down.

    But also you cite two things as testimony of the importance of youth and of student activism to this country, the election results of 2008 and “the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement of the role of youth in the development of the country.”

    So perhaps you are a little way yet from thinking for yourselves. The first step in “grabbing the bull by the horns” is not to required the endorsement of the Prime Minister, or any Minister, for your activism.

    Politicians are not your parents. They are your servants. You don’t need a government slogan coined by a foreign PR agency to wrap your project in. You just go ahead and do it.

    When I was a student our newly formed country was already a leader in the postcolonial world. We were sought out as a leader in the Afro-Asian Conference which inaugurated the Non-Aligned Movement and the G-77. The Afro-Asian movement was led by such luminaries as Zhou En-lai, Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah, Soekarno.

    Malaysians were seen as moderate leaders capable of mediating between these more radical leaders and the West. We were known for our moderation, good sense and reliability.

    We were a leader in the Islamic world as ourselves and as we were, without our leaders having to put up false displays of piety. His memory has been scrubbed out quite systematically from our national consciousness, so you might not know this or much else about him, but it was Tengku Abdul Rahman who established our leadership in the Islamic world by coming up with the idea of the OIC and making it happen.

    Under his leadership Malaysia led the way in taking up the anti-apartheid cause in the Commonwealth and in the United Nations, resulting in South Africa’s expulsion from these bodies.

    Here was a man at ease with himself, made it a policy goal that Malaysia be “a happy country”. He loved sport and encouraged sporting achievement among Malaysians. He was owner of many a fine race horse.

    He called a press conference and had a beer with his stewards when his horse won at the Melbourne Cup. He had nothing to hide because his great integrity in service was clear to all.

    Now we have religious and moral hypocrites who cheat, lie and steal in office but never have a drink, who propagate an ideologically shackled education system for all Malaysians while they send their own kids to elite academies in the West.

    Speaking of football. You’re too young to have experienced the Merdeka Cup, which Tunku started. We had a respectable side in the sixties and seventies. Teams from across Asia would come to play in Kuala Lumpur. Teams such as South Korea and Japan, whom we defeated routinely.

    We were one of the better sides in Asia. We won the Bronze medal at the Asian games in 1974 and qualified for the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Today our FIFA ranking is 157 out of 203 countries.

    That puts us in the lowest quartile, below Maldives (149), the smallest country in Asia, with just 400,000 people living about 1.5 metres above sea level who have to worry that their country may soon be swallowed up by climate change. Here in ASEAN we are behind Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, whom we used to dominate, and our one spot above basketball-playing Philippines.

    The captain of our illustrious 1970’s side was Soh Chin Aun. Arumugam, Isa Bakar, Santokh Singh, James Wong and Mokhtar Dahari were heroes whose names rolled off the tongues of our schoolchildren as they copied them on the school field. It wasn’t about being the best in the world, but about being passionate and united and devoted to the game.
    It was the same in Badminton, except at one time we were the best in the world. I remember Wong Peng Soon, the first Asian to win the All-England Championship, and then just dominated it throughout the 1950. Back home every kid who played badminton in every little kampong wanted to call himself Wong Peng Soon.

    There was no tinge of anybody identifying themselves exclusively as Chinese, Malays, Indian. Peng Soon was a Malaysian hero. Just like each of our football heroes. Now we do not have an iota of that feeling. Where has it all gone?

    I don’t think it’s mere nostalgia that that makes us think there was a time when the sun shone more brightly upon Malaysia. I bring up sport because it has been a mirror of our more general performance as nation.

    When we were at ease with who we were and didn’t need slogans to do our best together, we did well. When race and money entered our game, we declined. The same applies to our political and economic life

    Soon after independence we were already a highly successful developing country. We had begun the infrastructure building and diversification of our economy that would be the foundation for further growth.

    We carried out an import-substitution programme that stimulated local productive capacity. From there we started an infrastructure buildup which enabled a diversification of the economy leading to rapid industrialisation. We carried out effective programmes to raise rural income and help with landless with programmes such as FELDA.

    Our achievements in achieving growth with equity were recognised around the world. We were ahead of Our peer group in economic development were South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, and we led the pack. I remember we used to send technical consultants to advise the South Koreans.

    By the lates nineties, however, we had fallen far behind this group and were competing with Thailand and Indonesia. Today, according to the latest World Investment Report, FDI into Malaysia is at about a twenty year low. We are entering the peer group of Cambodia, Myanmar and the Philippines as an investment destination.

    Thailand, despite a month long siege of the capital, attracted more FDI than we did last year. Indonesia and Vietnam far outperform us, not as a statistical blip but consistently.

    Soon we shall have difficulty keeping up with The Philippines. This, I believe, is called relegation. If we take into account FDI outflow, the picture is even more interesting.

    Last year we received US$1.38 billion (RM4.40 billion) in investments but US$ 8.04 billion flowed out. We are the only country in Southeast Asia which has suffered nett FDI outflow.

    I am not against outward investment. It can be a good thing for the country. But an imbalance on this scale indicates capital flight, not mere investment overseas.

    Without a doubt, Malaysia is slipping. Billions have been looted from this country, and billions more are being siphoned out as our entire political structure crumbles. Yet we are gathered here in comfort, in a country that still seems to ‘work.’ Most of the time.

    This is due less to good management than to the extraordinary wealth of this country. You were born into a country of immense resources both natural and cultural and social. We have been wearing down this advantage with mismanagement and corruption.

    With lies, tall tales and theft. We have a political class unwilling or unable to address the central issue of the day because they have grown fat and comfortable with a system built on lies and theft.

    It is easy to fall into the lull caused by the combination of whatever wealth has not been plundered and removed and political class that lives in a bubble of sycophancy.

    I urge you not to fall into that complacency. It is time to wake up. That waking up can begin here, right here, at this conference. Not tomorrow or the day after but today. So let me, as I have the honour of opening this conference, suggest the following:

    Overcome the urge to have our hopes for the future endorsed by the Prime Minister. He will have retired, and I’ll be long gone when your future arrives. The shape of your future is being determined now.

    Resist the temptation to say “in line with” when we do something. Your projects, believe it or not, don’t have to be in line with any government campaign for them to be meaningful. You don’t need to polish anyone’s apple. Just get on with what you plan to do.

    Do not put a lid on certain issues as “sensitive” because someone said they are. Or it is against the Social Contract. Or it is “politicisation”. You don’t need to have your conversation delimited by the hyper-sensitive among us.

    Sensitivity is often a club people use to hit each other with. Reasoned discussion of contentious issues builds understanding and trust. Test this idea.

    It’s not “uber-liberal” to ask for an end to having politics, economic policy, education policy and everything and the kitchen sink determined by race. It’s called growing up. Go look up “liberal” in a dictionary.

    Please resist the temptation to say Salam 1 Malaysia, or Salam Vision 2020 or Salam Malaysia Boleh, or anything like that. Not even when you are reading the news. It’s embarrassing. I think it’s OK to say plain old salam the way the Holy Prophet did, wishing peace unto all humanity.

    You say you want to “promote intellectual discourse.” I take that to mean you want to have reasonable, thought-through and critical discussions, and slogans are the enemy of thought. Banish them.

    Don’t let the politicians you have invited here talk down to you.

    Don’t let them tell you how bright and “exuberant” you are, that you are the future of the nation, etc. If you close your eyes and flow with their flattery you have safely joined the caravan, a caravan taking the nation down a sink hole.

    If they tell you the future is in your hands kindly request that they hand that future over first. Ask them how come the youngest member of our cabinet is 45 and is full of discredited hacks? Our Merdeka cabinet had an average age below thirty.

    You’re not the first generation to be bright. Mine wasn’t too stupid. But you could be the first generation of students and young graduates in fifty years to push this nation through a major transformation. And it is a transformation we need desperately.

    You will be told that much is expected of you, much has been given to you, and so forth. This is all true. Actually much has also been stolen from you. Over the last twenty five years, much of the immense wealth generated by our productive people and our vast resources has been looted.

    This was supposed to have been your patrimony. The uncomplicated sense of belonging fully, wholeheartedly, unreservedly, to this country, in all it diversity, that has been taken from you.

    Our sense of ourselves as Malaysians, a free and united people, has been replaced by a tale of racial strife and resentment that continues to haunt us. The thing is, this tale is false.

    The most precious thing you have been deprived of has been your history. Someone of my generation finds it hard to describe what must seem like a completely different country to you now. Malaysia was not born in strife but in unity.

    Our independence was achieved through a demonstration of unity by the people in supporting a multiracial government led by Tengku Abdul Rahman.

    That show of unity, demonstrated first through the municipal elections of 1952 and then through the Alliance’s landslide victory in the elections of 1955, showed that the people of Malaya were united in wanting their freedom.

    We surprised the British, who thought we could not do this.

    Today we are no longer as united as we were then. We are also less free. I don’t think this is a coincidence. It takes free people to have the psychological strength to overcome the confines of a racialised worldview. It takes free people to overcome those politicians bent on hanging on to power gained by racialising every feature of our life including our football teams.

    Hence while you are at this conference, let me argue, that as an absolute minimum, we should call for the repeal of unjust and much abused Acts which are reversals of freedoms that we won at Merdeka.

    I ask you in joining me in calling for the repeal of the ISA and the OSA. These draconian laws have been used, more often than not, as political tools rather than instruments of national security. They create a climate of fear.

    These days there is a trend among right wing nationalist groups to identify the ISA with the defence of Malay rights. This is a self-inflicted insult on Malay rights. As if our Constitutional protections needed draconian laws to enforce them.

    I wish they were as zealous in defending our right not to be robbed by a corrupt ruling elite. We don’t seem to be applying the law of the land there, let alone the ISA.

    I ask you to join me in calling for the repeal of the Printing and Publications Act, and above all, the Universities and Colleges Act. I don’t see how you can pursue your student activism with such freedom and support in the UK and Eire while forgetting that your brethren at home are deprived of their basic rights of association and expression by the UCA. The UCA has done immense harm in dumbing down our universities.

    We must have freedom as guaranteed under our Constitution. Freedom to assemble, associate, speak, write, move. This is basic. Even on matters of race and even on religious matters we should be able to speak freely, and we shall educate each other.

    It is time to realise the dream of Dato’ Onn and the spirit of the Alliance, of Tunku Abdul Rahman. That dream was one of unity and a single Malaysian people. They went as far as they could with it in their time. Instead of taking on the torch we have reversed course.

    The next step for us as a country is to move beyond the infancy of race-based parties to a non-racial party system. Our race-based party system is the key political reason why we are a sick country, declining before our own eyes, with money fleeing and people telling their children not to come home after their studies.

    So let us try to take 1 Malaysia seriously. Millions have been spent putting up billboards and adding the term to every conceivable thing. We even have cuti-cuti 1 Malaysia. Can’t take a normal holiday anymore.

    This is all fine. Now let us see if it means anything. Let us see the Government of the day lead by example. 1 Malaysia is empty because it is propagated by a Government that promotes the racially-based party system that is the chief cause of our inability to grow up in our race relations.

    Our inability to grow up in our race relations is the chief reason why investors, and we ourselves, no longer have confidence in our economy. The reasons why we are behind Maldives in football, and behind the Philippines in FDI, are linked.

    So let us take 1 Malaysia seriously, and convert Barisan Nasional into a party open to all citizens. Let it be a multiracial party open to direct membership. PR will be forced to do the same or be left behind the times. Then we shall have the vehicles for a two party, non-race-based system.

    If Umno, MIC or MCA are afraid of losing supporters, let them get their members to join this new multiracial party. PR should do the same. Nobody need feel left out. Umno members can join en masse. The Hainanese Kopitiam Association can join whichever party they want, or both parties en masse if they like.

    We can maintain our cherished civil associations, however we choose to associate. But we drop all communalism when we compete for the ballot. When our candidates stand for Elections, let them ever after stand only as Malaysians, better or worse.

    The world is a dangerous place not because of people who do evil, but because of good people who look on and do nothing about it. Albert Einstein

    32. Talk is cheap.

    33. If YAB does not shout Merdeka Malaysia, the good people think Malaysia is under still Malayan Union colonized by British.

    34. Tokyo Capitalist is allowed to purchase the Senkaku (means fishing island) to enable governments of the world to earn revenue to safeguard this island and its seafood as additional safety raft to the nuclear power energy to the Japanese economy after nuclear meltdown caused by tsunami and human weakness in Tokyo which I think it’s imperative for the goodness of all mankind.

    Good day, YAB.

73. I recall reading somewhere (really wish somebody could tracked down the source) that after WW II, the British want to punish Thailand for their complicity in the Japanese attack on Malaya by giving the Southern states to Malaya but was objected by the American. Pity, a lot of death, pain and misery could have been averted. Pattani is going to burn for long, long time.

74. wow, Tun,

    That was a very moving article. Thanks for sharing ! 🙂
    Also a good history lesson !
    20/20 !!!!!! 🙂

75. Aslmkm Tun,
    Saya masih fikir mempersendakan bendera Malaysia dan lagu kebangsaan pada hari kemerdekaan adalah “the act of treason’. Kalau ikut wikipedia maksud treason “In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one’s sovereign or nation. Historically, treason also covered the murder of specific social superiors, such as the murder of a husband by his wife. Treason against the king was known as high treason and treason against a lesser superior was petty treason. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.” Tak tahulah kalau orang lain fikir lain….kalau zaman dahulu dah kena pancung dah…..Kena cari punca dari mana sumber kebencian tu datang…

76. merdeka!

77. Dear Tun,
    I’m used to be not that care about Malaysia. Like u said. “So what with this and that. What’s so great about this and that”. Obviously I wasn’t born before that time. I’m early 80s. Being Malaysian never give me any sense of proud. And neither being so shame about being Malaysian. Just neutral. I will still tell ppl that I’m a Malaysian without any hesitation like others. Again, just neutral. Anyway, I don’t really think all this sort of torturing, abuse-ment will happen again at the countries like us. We are getting more and more mature although we are a little bit late.
    But somehow, after I read your articles, I started to have this kind of “appreciation” for being a Malaysian. Merdeka-ed Malaysian. But, it will still won’t change my mind to vote for Pakatan. Better to try to swim in a new pool than continue to stay in the pool of deadly crocodiles. One power can’t stay too long. It’s not healthy. If the new government is not performing, we will change it next time. Then we will have a real healthy Malaysia.
    Happy Merdeka.

78. Bo – Leh !

79. What la that kutu kutu tu.
    Tu la suruh belajar sibuk nak politik.
    Tunjuk punggung kat najib aper dapat
    Berani tunjuk punggung kat anuwar la…

    Anwar n konco konco keparat suka peralat pelajar.
    Ye la pelajar memang bodoh. Tu sbb kene belajar.

    Kpd semua budak budak ipt seluruh negara, belajar la dulu. Jgn sibuk nak politik sbb kau orang semua bodoh lagi. Habis belajar, politik la sampai mati.

    Ishh bersih ni memang ngo subversif yang memudaratkan semua orang. Kasi hantam satu kali

    For those kene tangkap… Wat bersih can give u? Nama buruk untuk mak bapak. Memalukan.

80. Jangan kita lihat rumput jiran kita hijau ia lebih hijau,lebih baik
    Jika kita pergi dekat ianya sama dengan rumput kita,mungkin rumput kita lebih baik

    Si miskin Malaysia mesti bershukur
    Malaysia aman, mati orang miskin
    Mati mereka,merpati mati atas padi
    Tidak kebuluran

    Such a sad remarks from you Tun
    When you retired you were treated as
    an enemy of the government

    Not to despair
    You are not the boss anymore
    You decided to quit
    I am sure it,s the influence from the opposition
    Perhaps from our neighbour government whom cannot
    Get their way through during your govern

    Malaysia government must stands stern towards neighbour
    No more Mr.Nice Malaysia
    The importance of Malaysia should be priority

81. Assalammualaikum Tun,

    MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA

83. Dear Tun,

    Please allow me to quote a touching message

    //29. So I will celebrate Merdeka days. I will fly the Jalur Gemilang and I will sing the National Anthem. I am proud I am a Malaysian, a citizen of an independent country. I will not step on the pictures of people who only know how to hate and have done nothing to make this country better. By doing what they did they have demonstrated that they and the people who lead them are unfit to rule this independent country. They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations.//

    Patriotism is a noble attribute. Those Chinese, Indians and Malays who hate Malaysia and their own government are in fact unpatriotic and traitors to the country, including Datuk Samad, and Datuk Ambiga who had demonstrated against the legally elected government of the day.
    i have lived in Sheffield, England. Clean air, nice people, smiling and polite and helpful. The food are fresh, the eggs are bigger because of cold climate. There are no flies, no ants and no mosquitoes. Leaving our food on the table 2 or 3 days, we can still eat.
    The same thing with Singapore. It is the third richest country in the world. Their MRT is clean and efficient. The quality of food there is also better than in Malaysia. But the people there are unfriendly. They do not talk to their house mates, or their neighbours even if you say hello or greet them. They are individualistic and devoid of any caring or love. People in Singapore are selfish, proud and unhelpful or uncaring. May be they are insular and live in isolation.
    My personal experience living in both countries is that they do not give freedom for muslims to practise their religion. The call for prayer at the mosque,’azan’ is forbidden in England and Singapore.
    Hujan emas di negeri orang. Hujan batu di negeri sendiri. Lebih baik di negeri sendiri.

    amin tan

84. TAHNIAH kepada Kolej Teknologi Antarabangsa Cybernatics kerana bertindak tegas dan profesional dengan keputusan muktamad membuang pelajar Muhammad Ammar A. Rahman, 19 dari kolej itu.

    Ketegasan akan dihormati walau dibenci.

    Lebih baik dan bermaruah dari dipandang sebagai takut dan tidak berani bertindak.

    Syabas.

85. Salam,
    Tun yang dihormati
    dan pembaca sekalian,

    I am so touched by your article

    Thank you tun

86. saya cintakan negaraku Malaysia..MERDEKA!MERDEKA!MERDEKA!

87. SALAM KASIH DAN SAYANG
    AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN
    Izinkan,

    Ayahanda Tun narratives AS PER #16 sent the shiver up the spine. The old man on the bicycle was lucky it was a Thai soldier. Had it been a ‘Nippon Banzai’ soldier, his head would have been decapitated by a ‘samurai’ sword.. uhh

    We have nothing nice to say of those ingrates who disrespect the National anthem and the Jalur Gemilang but.. catergorise them as D.U.M.Bs! (Deranged, Useless, Mental Blockheads)

    But the wonderful and rakyat of this beautiful country will always cherish the freedom and peace they enjoy and will always respect .. Negaraku tanah tumpahnya darahku..
    Daulat Tuanku!

    MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA!

    ‘WAWASAN 2020 BUKAN TITIK PENYUDAH BAGI JENERASI MENDATANG IA BERMULA.’

    ALFATIHAH, AMIN

88. Assalamualaikum,
    Alhamdulillah I was born after Merdeka, Alhamdulillah Malaysia is my home. Thanks to all the people who made Malaysia what it is today.
    So I too will celebrate Merdeka days. I too will fly the Jalur Gemilang and I too will sing the National Anthem. I am proud I am a Malaysian, a citizen of an independent country. I will not step on the pictures of people who only know how to hate and have done nothing to make this country better. By doing what they did they have demonstrated that they and the people who lead them are unfit to rule this independent country. They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations
