1. The world’s population is now 8 (eight) billion.
2. That is a lot. Imagine the waste produced by this huge number of people. Mountains of rubbish will appear everywhere.
3. Especially as the world has become smaller.
4. Not physically, but in ease of communication. Now the time taken for the journey from China to Malaya has been reduced to 3 hours. Before it took 3 months.
5. And when communication is easy, countries cannot be isolated. All countries are neighbours of every country.
6. What one country does affect other countries. This may lead to conflicts and the spread of diseases.
7. But in the past humanity living in communities develop common values.
8. A sense of belonging and brotherhood develops.
9. This leads to the founding of nations, to loyalty to the states.
10. As population grows, the administration of nations become more complex and difficult.
11. Laws and rules were made to deal with challenges to governance.
12. Abiding by the rules and laws stabilises and sustain the state.
13. But now there arise conflicts between nations as the community of nations become closer to each other.
14. Wars were fought.
15. Men were killed, wounded.
16. Towns destroyed. Countries razed to the ground.
17. Just as people and communities develop common values and set up nations, there arise a need for nations to develop common values which unite them.
18. Concepts of freedom and equality were invented.
19. But over the years these concepts were interpreted to mean the right to challenge all restrictions posed by old values.
20. With this nations become ungovernable again
21. To regain power the governments resorted to new ideologies and technologies.
22. The people counter with their technologies.
23. Nations became more and more ungovernable.
24. Centuries ago monarchies were replaced by democracies.
25. The people should rule themselves.
26. But how?
27. Systems were developed.
28. Leaders were elected by people.
29. The belief was that the people would choose the best people to lead.
30. The leaders had to be given power to rule.
31. But often the people do not choose the best people.
32. They choose people from their tribe, from their parties.
33. They chose the people who bribed them.
34. And so corrupt people win and form the Governments.
35. And corrupt Governments destroy democracy.
36. In the meantime the population of the nations keep on growing.
37. Numbers give them power.
38. The Government is again challenged.
39. Then the world itself would be attacked.
40. Not by creatures from other planets.
41. But by creatures in the planet.
42. They were small.
43. They take the form of virus.
44. And they attack the whole world.
45. But despite the League of Nations and the United Nations the world remains divided.
46. And each nation cannot tackle the problem by itself.
47. Just as principalities and states merge to become nation states, now nation states must merge, partially at least to deal with common problems.
48. If they fail then there would be more common problems which cannot be dealt with effectively.

DOKUMEN PALSU
1. Terdapat dua perkongsian di media sosial menuduh saya pertamanya, mengarah tekanan dilakukan ke atas seseorang untuk membuat kenyataan palsu terhadap Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
2. Kedua, saya kononnya mengutus surat kepada Ehud Barak, PM Israel meminta bantuan kewangan untuk menghadapi pilihanraya.
3. Kedua-dua dokumen itu palsu dan telah diguna sejak penghujung 1990an sebagai propaganda untuk mempertahankan seorang pemimpin yang telah salah guna kuasa dan mempunyai masalah moral.
4. Kedua-dua dokumen itu kini dikitar semula dan dikongsi di media sosial oleh pemegang akaun tidak bernama. Seperti mana di tahun 1990an, propaganda tanpa nama dan strategi baling batu sembunyi tangan oleh mereka yang pengecut berterusan.
5. Saya telah nyata sebelum ini jika betul semua itu saya lakukan, buat laporan secara terbuka, perlihatkan diri dan jangan bersembunyi dengan akaun-akaun media sosial palsu atau guna nama samaran.
6. Saya bukan PM dan tak pegang apa-apa jawatan dan mereka yang dulu kata punyai berkotak-kotak dokumen tentang salah laku saya sehingga hari ini tidak tunjuk apa-apa bukti.
7. Yang ada cuma dokumen palsu yang dikeluar oleh “cybertroopers” yang kemudiannya disambut oleh penyokong-penyokong yang taksub.
8. Jika dokumen itu benar, kenapa perlu sebar melalui media sosial dan mengguna akaun palsu? Laporlah pada pihak berkuasa jika tulen.
9. Atau adakah ini hanya usaha untuk alih perhatian daripada peristiwa-peristiwa yang menggusarkan, yang mendedah reformasi cuma slogan bukan satu pegangan.
10. Cukup-cukuplah dengan sikap pathological liar dan mulalah berkata benar.
THE RULE OF LAW
1. Laws made by man can be changed or reinterpreted.
2. Thus in the good old days in England stealing was punished by death by hanging from a gibbet in public view.
3. Today the death penalty cannot be given even for murder. That is the new rule of law.
4. The judiciary consist of the Attorney General and the judges. The decision of the first court may be appealed through a second. And the decision of the second court appealed through a third court.
5. Then the supreme head may modify the sentence or even pardon. But the guilt remains.
6. There is another judge not presiding over a court. This judge make his own decision based on whatever.
7. He may decide there is no case to answer. Even when the case is being heard, his decision prevails.
8. The judge may believe that there is guilt and refuse acquittal.
9. But the case cannot be heard.
10. That is the law. The rule of law has been adhered to.
11. Bravo Malaysia.
12. Your judiciary is the best in the world.
REFORMASI
1. Semasa Anwar berada di luar Kerajaan jeritan “reformasinya” terdengar sepanjang masa seluruh dunia.
2. Kebebasan bersuara adalah hak asasi manusia.
3. Kerajaan pada masa itu dikatakan tidak demokratik, diktator.
4. Sekarang setelah jadi Kerajaan, rakyat dihalang bercakap.
5. Bercakap pasal apa?
6. Fasal masalah rakyatlah.
7. Apa dianya masalah rakyat?
8. Masalah bangsa
9. Masalah agama
10. Ha!! Itu tidak boleh
11. Itu racist.
12. Itu ektremis
13. Apa yang boleh.
14. Puji Kerajaan la.
15. Dokong kenyataan bahawa ini bukan lagi Tanah Melayu.
16. Melayu jangan sombong
17. Serahkan sahaja negara yang kamu selamat dari
i. Malayan Union
ii. Malaysian Malaysia
iii. Yang kamu berhempas pulas perjuang kemerdekaan
iv. 400 tahun dijajah
v. 60 tahun merdeka
vi. Terlalu lama
18. Inikah Reformasi?
19. Ya. Inilah Reformasi.
MALAY GENEROSITY
1. Malays are a generous people. When other countries insist that foreigners who want to be citizens of the country have to assimilate and be assimilated with the definitive people of the country, the Malays were willing to accept unassimilated foreigners as citizens. The migrants can retain their languages and customs and even their schools and scripts upon becoming citizens.
2. They can even stay apart from the indigenous people and retain their identification with their original country. They retain their racial identification with their economic functions.
3. Despite all these unusual tolerances, the country, under predominantly Malay rule remained stable and peaceful. In fact it developed faster than most other countries where conditions and restrictions are imposed.
4. But when this generosity is taken for granted and the beneficiaries propose that the land does not belong only to the Malays as the definitive people, that it belongs equally to the unassimilated migrants and their descendants, then the Malays have a right to object to this demand.
5. To call this objection racist is a contradiction in terms.
6. It is the demand of those who refused to be assimilated, refuse to be identified with the definitive people who continue their identification with their racial origins who are racist.
7. The English people who seized the land of the natives of North America, set up a new nation, the United States of America. The later immigrants and their descendants probably outnumbered the descendants of the English settlers. But the United States of America remain the English-speaking United States of America despite the citizenship of so many people who are not of English descent.
8. Indeed new citizens are tested in the mastery of the English language, in the history of the country and loyalty to it before being conferred with the citizenship of the country.
9. Such is their loyalty to their adopted nation that they would fight to the death against their countries of origin.
10. Clearly the Malays had not followed the usual conditions for accepting foreigners as citizens.
11. This is the cause of the problem facing the nation now.
TIGA R
1. Ramai juga yang menyoal kenapa saya marah sangat terhadap larangan bercakap berkenaan 3R – iaitu Race (Bangsa), Religion (Agama) dan Royalty (Raja).
2. Bukankah Kerajaan berhak melarang sesuatu.
3. Tidak. Kerajaan tidak boleh larang apa-apa melainkan ia ada kaitan dengan keselamatan negara.
4. Larang 3R terlalu umum. Tidak dijelas kenapa dan bagaimana bercakap berkenaan 3R boleh mencetus bahaya terhadap negara.
5. Apakah kalau saya kata “Saya orang Melayu” maka ia mengancam keselamatan negara.
6. Jika saya kata “Orang Melayu menghadapi masalah” maka saya dianggap sebagai pemberontak yang polis perlu soal saya.
7. Saya kata saya beragama Islam, maka ini juga melanggar arahan Perdana Menteri.
8. Kalau saya salah maka Perlembagaan juga salah kerana Perlembagaan menyebut “Islam” sebagai agama rasmi Malaysia.
9. Salahkah kalau saya kata kita punyai “Raja Berperlembagaan”?
10. Larangan yang dibuat terlalu umum sehingga rakyat takut disalahkan apabila menyebut bangsa, agama dan raja. Polis ikut penceramah seolah-olah hendak cekup mereka.
11. Ini tidak sihat. Rakyat berhak bercakap berkenaan masalah mereka. Apa gunanya pilihan raya jika masalah rakyat tidak boleh disuarakan oleh rakyat dan oleh calon yang berjuang untuk rakyat.
12. Apa hak Perdana Menteri membuat larangan. Negara ditadbir mengikut undang-undang. Tiap suatu yang hendak diperbuat oleh Kerajaan ada caranya.
13. Kita punyai Dewan Rakyat dan Dewan Negara.
14. Ada cara tertentu untuk melulus undang-undang. Perdana Menteri bukan bebas untuk membuat undang-undang. Polis dan MACC juga tidak bebas bertindak sesuka hati. Semua gerakan Kerajaan mempunyai cara dan undang-undang yang perlu diikuti.
15. Cara manakah yang dibuat oleh Perdana Menteri dengan tiba-tiba merampas hak rakyat dan hak parti-parti politik bercakap.
16. Cuma pemerintahan kuku besi sahaja yang memberi kuasa tanpa had kepada pemerintah.
17. Sudahkah kita sampai ke peringkat itu?
18. Itu soalannya. Lebih-lebih lagi pelakunya ialah seorang Reformis yang kononnya menolak cara pemerintahan kuku besi?
LGBT
1. Apa dianya LGBT. LGBT bermakna “Lesbian”, “Gay”, “Biseksual” dan “Transeksual”.
2. Pengamal “Lesbian” mengamal hubungan seks antara perempuan dengan perempuan.
3. “Gay” pula mengamal seks antara lelaki dengan lelaki.
4. “Biseksual” amal seks biasa dan seks sejenis.
5. “Transeksual” amal hubungan seks antara lelaki dan sesama perempuan dan aneka jenis cara seks.
6. Perkahwinan tidak lagi perlu antara lelaki dengan perempuan tetapi perkahwinan boleh diadakan antara lelaki dengan lelaki dan perempuan dengan perempuan.
7. Perkahwinan bukan untuk dapat anak dan mendiri keluarga.
8. Perkahwinan hanya untuk memuaskan nafsu.
9. Ada negara di barat sekarang yang tidak menyebut dalam kad pengenalan jantina pemegang. Lelaki dan perempuan tidak boleh dipisah, iaitu tidak boleh dianggap berlainan. Tidak ada jantina.
10. Seseorang berhak menjadi lelaki atau perempuan mengikut kehendaknya. Hak ini menjadi satu dari hak kemanusiaan (human right).
11. Jantina seseorang penuntut di sekolah tidak boleh disoal. Itu hak mereka. Dan itu yang diajar di sekolah. Ibubapa tidak berhak menentu pegangan kepercayaan atau amalan. Anak perlu bebas.
12. Di merata tempat pengamal lesbian dan gay mengadakan perhimpunan besar-besaran. Mereka berbangga dengan amalan mereka. Dan terdapat lelaki cium bibir lelaki dan perempuan cium bibir perempuan dikhalayak ramai tanpa segan silu.
13. Majikan tidak boleh soal akan jantina pemohon kerja, pakaian mereka atau kelakuan mereka.
14. Sesungguhnya akhlak bangsa barat sudah rosak teruk. Dalam mengejar persamaan (equality), antara lelaki dan perempuan, mereka sudah sampai ke tahap haiwan. Apa sahaja yang boleh dilakukan oleh lelaki boleh dilakukan oleh perempuan dan sebaliknya. Kalau lelaki boleh berzina dengan pelacur perempuan, perempuan juga boleh berzina dengan pelacur lelaki.
15. Undang-undang mereka pun sudah dipinda supaya yang diharam dahulu dihalalkan dan yang dihalalkan dahulu diharamkan.
16. Ramai juga penuntut Malaysia yang ke sekolah atau ke universiti di negara barat menerima budaya songsang ini.
17. Kata mereka apa salahnya. Mereka cuma ingin keseronokan. Mereka tidak membinasa sesiapa.
18. Demikianlah perubahan nilai hidup dan budaya hasil dari mengejar persamaan dan kebebasan oleh masyarakat manusia.
19. Dengan ini masyarakat akan hilang pedoman dan akan alami huru hara dan kehancuran.
APANDI’S ACTIONS OR THE LACK OF IT ON 1MDB
1. When I questioned the Government for agreeing to settle out of court the suit for wrongful dismissal of former AG Apandi Ali, instead of the current AG providing an explanation, it was Apandi who reacted.
2. Obviously Apandi was not happy that I pointed out that his dismissal was justified on grounds of dereliction of duty and the Government’s decision to settle and compensate him with an undisclosed sum of money is tantamount to agreeing that he was wrongfully dismissed.
3. To my mind, it is important to establish whether Apandi had failed to perform his duties as an AG.
4. The decision by nine judges from three different levels of courts which found Najib guilty of the SRC International case (a 1MDB related company) proved that Apandi, who exonerated Najib for any wrong doing had failed in performing his duties. Clearly the nine judges believed that there were cases for Najib to be charged.
5. Similarly, last year, when High Court judge Datuk Azimah Omar dismissed Apandi’s defamation suit against Lim Kit Siang, her judgement was very damning of Apandi’s role in the 1MDB scandal.
6. In her judgement, on the above case, Azimah, among others, said of Apandi: “The Plaintiff’s action in hastily closing and concluding investigations, and the Plaintiff’s inaction to meaningfully investigate the matter, indeed justifies the Defendant’s imputation that the Plaintiff ought to be investigated for his conducts which may have assisted in the cover up of the 1MDB scandal.
7. She also noted that Lim was justified in his statement urging Apandi to answer why he had absolved Najib of the 1MDB affair in 2016.
8. If those were not sufficient grounds to prove Apandi’s dereliction of duty, the recent revelations by Zeti, former Governor of Bank Negara, at the 1MDB trial that she had asked Apandi to charge several staff of 1MDB for their involvement in the scandal but Apandi did not act on it.
9. I brought this matter up because public funds cannot be used to compensate Apandi when he was dismissed because of dereliction of duty.
10. His decision to absolve and exonerate Najib over the 1MDB scandal had allowed the kleptocrats to fleece the nations of billions of ringgit.
11. And then, more public funds are awarded to Apandi who was exposed to have abetted and absolved the kleptocrats.
12. Apandi also tried to defend himself over the issue of dereliction of duty by linking the decision to withdraw application for judicial review in relation to Pulau Batu Puteh which was made under my watch which he said was also a dereliction of duty.
13. In the first place, what kind of legal brain does he have when he tried to justify his dereliction of duty by citing my purported dereliction of duty? Does that mean that it is justified for him to commit dereliction of duty if others commit such things too?
14. Since he wanted to bring up the Pulau Batu Puteh issue, I am prepared to answer and explain my decision whenever and if the Government feels necessary.
15. My refusal to answer is to the committee which is headed by Apandi who had been exposed to be incompetent and had been accused of abetting in the 1MDB crime.
16. For the life of me, I cannot understand until today that the Government had appointed Apandi, whose credibility as an AG had been sullied and tarnished for his dereliction of duty, to head the Pulau Batu Puteh committee.
17. Isn’t it a joke that a person so obviously incompetent is given the responsibilities to find wrong doings of others?
18. Instead, based on all the court findings and expose, Apandi should be charged for his role in the 1MDB scandal.
19. My flying kites does not negate his dereliction of duty. It merely proves that the charge is correct.
SCIENCE AND MATHS
1. Many parents are upset with the decision of Government to stop the teaching of science and maths in English as an option.
2. They feel that it would blight the future of their children.
3. I have always believed that science and mathematics should be taught in English. This is because this field of knowledge is not indigenous. This means that it comes to us not in the Malay language. And largely it comes in the English language.
4. This knowledge has to be translated into Malay. The translators must have a good understanding of the subject and be fluent in English and Malay.
5. Not many people would have this qualification. Besides, new discoveries in science and applications of mathematics are being added almost daily. To translate them would require an army of translators.
6. It is different with other fields of knowledge. In geography and history for example the basic facts hardly ever change. Only the presentation may be different. So the need to translate is quite limited.
7. But with science and mathematics new discoveries and new applications have to be learnt or acquired if the student is going to keep up with the new technologies.
8. For example knowledge of wireless broadcasting twenty years ago is not adequate for dealing with new means of broadcasting today. Updating in the science of communication is almost continuous.
9. If the teaching is in English, all the new knowledge can be learnt directly as most scientific papers are presented in English.
10. The Malay language has developed greatly. But for keeping up with scientific development, borrowing from other languages is essential. We are aware that we borrow a lot from the English language.
11. We understand the national desire to develop our language. But the objective of education is primarily to gain knowledge. We cannot sacrifice knowledge merely because we want to develop our language. Education would be worthless if we are left behind in terms of knowledge which is so essential for our development and progress.
12. So the Government should reconsider the decision to do away with the option to teach science and mathematics in English.
13. Better still let it not be just an option. Let us decide to teach science and mathematics in English.
DERELICTION OF DUTY
1. I was startled when I read the news report that, during the trial involving 1MDB, Zeti, the former Governor of Bank Negara stated that she had reported to the A.G. at that time, i.e., Apandi the wrong doings of the staff of 1MDB. But the A.G. did not take any action. It seems to me like dereliction of duty.
2. Yet Apandi had sued me for wrongful dismissal. I was prepared to go to court to explain why I had to remove him.
3. Another example of Apandi’s wrongful decision was to dismiss all the cases against Dato Sri Najib. Yet when another A.G. brought Najib’s cases to court, three courts and nine judges found Najib guilty.
4. Clearly Apandi as A.G. did not study the case thoroughly before declaring that Najib had no case to answer.
5. This again shows a dereliction of duty on the part of Apandi. Yet when he sued the Government and me for wrongful dismissal, the Government agreed to settle the case outside the court and awarded Apandi an unknown sum to drop his action suing the Government and me.
6. This means that the Government agreed that he was wrongfully dismissed.
7. I was not party to the settlement. I did not agree that I had wrongfully dismissed Apandi.
8. But now, the report that he failed to take action on the report by Bank Negara, proves that he was not doing his duty as the A.G. This further justify his dismissal as A.G.
9. That such an A.G. should be compensated with unknown sums of money do not reflect well on the rule of law in this country.
