Diantara mereka adalah NDI (National Democratic Institute), IRI (International Republican Institute) dan Freedom House. Semua mereka mengikut Newsweek “receive U.S. Government funding”.

MINIMUM PAY

1. We all would like to see Malaysia become a high-income country. However we must also be concerned about our competitiveness. Increasing incomes must raise the cost of production unless there is a corresponding increase in productivity.

2. But already we are having far too many holidays. To the 52 Sundays, have been added, 52 Saturdays. We now have holidays for the holy days of all religions, however small the followers. We now automatically replace any holiday which falls on Sunday or Saturday with another day of holiday. When we work a lesser number of days our productivity must decrease. So it will not be easy to increase productivity with the increase in minimum wages which will trigger pay increases throughout, so as to maintain the parity between the different grades of the employees. Working during holidays will also cost more. So will contribution to EPF and rates of pensions.

3. Between higher pay and shorter working hours, plus all the other costs, the cost of production of goods and services must increase considerably.

SECURITY OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL


1. Kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Dato Seri Anwar merupakan percubaan untuk mengalih perhatian terhadap pendiriannya iaitu, “Saya sokong semua usaha untuk melindungi keselamatan negara Israel” (I support all efforts to protect the security of the State of Israel) kepada soal pengiktirafan negara itu.

2. Israel telah mengambil sikap bahawa untuk keselamatan negara, ia akan mengganas lebih daripada pengganas (out terrorise the terrorists). Sebab itu kita lihat tindakan Israel apabila menuduh pihak Palestin melaku keganasan kepadanya, ialah dengan serangan yang keterlaluan.

3. Demikian kerana kononnya Israel diserang oleh puak Palestin, Israel melancar serangan yang dahsyat supaya penduduk Jenin sebuah bandar kecil Palestin terbunuh beramai-ramai dan bangunan-bangunan diroboh semasa penduduk-penduduk masih ada dalam ruman dan bangunan. Penduduk Jenin yang terdiri daripada orang awam, lelaki, perempuan, tua dan muda termasuk kanak-kanak di bunuh. Ini adalah balasan Israel untuk kepentingan sekuritinya.

JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE

1. According to the former chief justice Tun Mohd Dzaiddin Abdullah, “The Federal Constitution lost its fundamental structure when Article 121 was amended in 1988 and the provision in reference to the judicial power in the constitution removed”.

2. What is the amendment about? It is about the procedure giving the Attorney General the responsibility for specifying which court should hear a case. Originally Section 418A (1) of the Criminal Procedure Code reads, “Notwithstanding the provision of section 417 and subject to Section 418B, the Public Prosecutor may in any particular case triable by a Criminal Court subordinate to a High Court issue a certificate specifying the High Court in which the proceedings are to be instituted or transferred and requiring that the accused person be caused to appear or be produced before such High Court”.

3. In December 1986 when Datuk Yap Peng was charged with criminal breach of trust, the public prosecutor issued a certificate under Section 418A of the Criminal Procedure Code requiring the case to be transferred to the High Court.

REGIME CHANGE

1. Amerika Syarikat bersama dengan negara-negara Eropah lain dan juga Israel berhajat untuk melakukan “regime change”, iaitu menukar kerajaan-kerajaan negara-negara di dunia yang tidak menyokong mereka.

2. Mereka akan melakukan “regime change” ini melalui pelbagai cara. Di Iraq mereka melaksanakan “sanction” sekatan dagangan pada mulanya dan kemudian berperang dengan Saddam Hussein untuk menukar kerajaan Iraq. Dan mereka berjaya.

3. Mereka juga cuba menukar kerajaan Iran dengan menghasut dan membantu Iraq untuk berperang dengan Iran. Usaha ini gagal. Hari ini mereka masih mencuba dengan menyekat negara-negara di dunia daripada membeli minyak Iran.

LETTER TO HANAN

My Dear Hanan,

Mr Alireza Forghani, Khamenei’s strategy specialist must of course be speaking for the Government of Iran and Ayatollah Khamenei when he puts in his website the Ayatollah’s “legal and religious justification for killing all Jews and annihilating Israel”.

You would like to believe that this threat is true. It would give Israel the excuse for taking the pre-emptive strike that you say it needs to do to secure Israel. You have to build a case for that dastardly act.

Between Iran and Israel, I believe Israel is more likely to carry out its threat. You have a record for doing this.

LAPOK

1. Anwar telah menyatakan kepada BBC, iaitu kepada bangsa Barat, bahawa undang-undang Malaysia lapok, ketinggalan zaman.

2. Tentulah Anwar tahu bahawa lapok dan ketinggalan zaman, bagi orang Barat bermakna tidak seperti apa yang terdapat di Barat sekarang. Sejak revolusi Perancis, slogan Liberte`, Egalite`, Fraternite`, iaitu Kebebasan, Persamaan dan Persaudaraan menghantui fikiran Barat sehingga apa sahaja yang tidak menepati slogan ini mesti ditukar atau dihapus.

3. Oleh kerana BBC bertanya berkenaan kes liwat Anwar, maka undang-undang yang didakwa jumud oleh Anwar tentulah berkenaan larangan terhadap hubungan seks di luar nikah.

PROTON CARS

1. I stopped using Proton cars after I stepped down. I wanted to enjoy the superior quality of the high-end European and Japanese cars.

2. Proton was known for its cheap cars. The assumption is that it can never produce cars of quality as represented by European, Japanese and even Korean cars.

3. The people at Proton are unhappy over this reputation. They feel it is wrong to think that they cannot produce high end cars. It is just that the company policy was to produce run-of-the-mill cars. The Malaysian public expect Malaysian cars to be cheap. Cheap cars just cannot have the quality and the features of the more costly imports.

CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA

1. The West i.e. the United States and Europe are deep in financial trouble.

2. Four European countries including United Kingdom and Italy have debts of more than 1 trillion dollars.

3. The Governor of the Bank of England has advised printing money to overcome Britain’s financial crisis. This is a great idea. When you lose money just print money to make up for the losses. The United States had printed 300 billion USD to bail out banks and overcome the crisis. Of course if Malaysia had printed Ringgits to pay off debts during the financial crisis we would be soundly condemned. No one would accept our Ringgit and we would be bankrupted. But rich countries apparently can print money to pay debts.
