Snippets

INTERVIEW

1. I was interviewed by the BBC on the current financial turmoil and over management of the currency crisis in 1997 – 98.

2. I was amused when he attributed the pegging and the elimination of CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) to Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim. I asked him whether he was given this information by Anwar. He did not answer.

3. Of course I did not do everything by myself. I had a lot of help from others. But Anwar was not one of them. He, many will remember, was the Minister of Finance who implemented the IMF strategy without the IMF with disastrous results.

COMMENTS

1. When I started my blog I expected many criticisms to be levelled at me when I wrote articles against the Government.

2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.

3. Clearly the quality of these carping commentors leaves much to be desired.

RUBBISH

1. We are great producers of rubbish – not the verbal kind, although that also – but real solid waste. But we are not keen on their disposal.

2. Rubbish dumps, legal and illegal are everywhere. Land fills which seem to be the preferred method are really hazardous to health. When rain falls and leaches the waste, the water would seep into the ground and pollute ground water. This water flows into the land around and may get into the water supply. At least New Water in Singapore is thoroughly filtered and rendered safe though not aesthetically acceptable. But our ground water is not filtered and can poison the soil and ourstreams and rivers.

3. The Government had wanted to build a modern incinerator like the ones in Japan. These Japanese incinerators are located in the residential area. They produce hardly any smoke from their very tall chimneys. The incinerator is so clean that the locals use them as their recreation area. I have never heard of the Japanese complaining against incinerators being located in their residential areas.

4. But we in Malaysia have higher standards of cleanliness. We do not want even the cleanest incinerators to be located anywhere near where we live. We prefer to dump the rubbish untreated on land. Soon we will be having rubbish mountains like in a neighbouring country where scavengers can recover discarded items which can be washed and sold to the not so rich.

5. Incidentally I am told that in the United Kingdom every household has to have three rubbish bins; one each for plastics, glass and perishables. If the rubbish inspectors finds that there is nothing in the bins the householder will be fined for throwing his rubbish elsewhere. Will we accept sorting our rubbish and dumping them into the correct bin! I think not. That is for the Government to do, as we pay taxes precisely for sorting our rubbish.

    That journalist is new i presumed. Anway many Western Politician of your time Tun didnt really like you because of your harsh criticism about their wrongdoing. The western politicians killed thousands of Muslims just for the sake of their democracy ideology which didnt fit in the context of Islam. When you criticised them they say you were worst than them. I think they should reflect what they had done before pointing fingers at anyone.

  2. ABI,
    Only a moronic person will say to others tolol. What a shame !! Without the slightest shadow of doubt you a loser trying to deviate from the real issue which you have no answer at all. There is nothing much to say except to draw into conclusion that you are just pain in the ass, period. Don’t you think so? kah, kah, kah !!

  3. Pak Lalang talks about hard-earned money. Who doesn’t earn money by sheer dint of hard work and sweat? You are not the only unique one! Anda memang tolol! It’s high time that you consulted a psychiatrist to “wash your upstairs (brain) of accumulated filth and garbage”.

  4. ABI,
    Even if I earn a meagre during my working life it is out of my sweat. But to earn RM5 million out of taxpayers money is more despicable! Menjijikan !!So don’t compare between hard earn money of mine with taxpayers money of RM5 million.
    I think you are making yourself more idiotic fool. Just pity you.

    Just want to comment raised below by one of the commentators
    By monsterball on November 6, 2008 7:43 PM
    1. Let me reiterate my point one more time: Only Malay can be the PM of Malaysia.
    2. Non-Malay should not ever think about it.
    3. The American has showed us a wrong way and I feel shamed to see a non-white person to lead the strongest nation in the world.
    4. That should not happen in Malaysia as the Malay are the majority and it is rightful for us to have the special rights to rule.
    Dear monsterball,
    You are not a Malay or bumi. Do not instigate others with your cheap words. I am a Malay and it disgusts me to read comment like yours. Your want to instigate others on reverse thinking and it does not work. I know that you are not a Malay by true means of Malaysian.
    Dear Malaysian,
    Lets work together to make Malaysia a better place to be. Malays, we must help each other by not using DEB. The able must try to help the poor people. Do not ask what the country can do for you but ask on what you can do to your country. Let’s help the poor , do not rely on the government alone. Help our poor people to stand on their feets. Help them by sponsor the poor’s education.
    We can do it.

  11. Salam Tun,
    Sebagai seorang yang berpengalaman luas dalam bidang politik tanah air, kami rakyat Malaysia bergantung penuh kepada Tun dari segi corak pentadbiran dan pemikiran, jika ada pilihanraya bagi mencari pemimpin negara, pasti kami akan mencalunkan semula Tun bagi menangani krisis ini.
    Ramai mereka hanya pentingkan diri sendiri tetapi mengabaikan kami para pengundi @ penyokong mereka ini. Buat tatapan Tun, saya adalah kelompok ke 4, benar seperti apa yang Tun maklumkan….
    PRU 13 akan merubah segalanya…. tampuk pemerintahan negara dan pengambilalihan kuasa sebenar suara rakyat akan berlaku. PM sekarang akan menerima impak yang sebenar atau KJ yang akan lari dulu untuk selamatkan RM nya….
    Rakyat sudah celik mata, kaum Asli pun sudah pandai buat kira2, biar depa leka, kelak depa yang tak ada tanah pusaka. benarlah kata Tun, Melayu Mudah Lupa…. Jangan sampai tanah air yang kita pelihara ini dijajah oleh bangsa lain sudahlah… tak sanggup mengenang kembali jerit maung nenek moyang bertegang urat bermandi darah untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan ini.

  15. MCA President Urges Malaysians To Free Themselves From Racial Shackles – A Good Reminder to all myopic and mindless Malaysians!
    comment:
    Cakap tak serupa bikin. There is no way for Malaysians to free themselves from racial shackles if the politicians particularly the opposition parties “discreetly” instigating and harping issues on racial lines. Everybody is fighting for their rights on racial lines. We are hypocrite people of the first order irrespective whether we are Chinese, Malays, Indians, Muslims, Christians, Hindus or Budhists. Malaysians are all dreamers and having “poker face” of the first degree.

  16. MCA President Urges Malaysians To Free Themselves From Racial Shackles – A Good Reminder to all myopic and mindless Malaysians!
    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) — MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat said today it is time for Malaysians to free themselves from the shackles of racial issues.
    Taking Barack Obama, the first African-American elected as the president of the United States, as an example, Ong said, “Sadly in Malaysia, we are still bickering over the appointment of a Chinese lady as acting general manager for the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).
    “It is time for us to break free from the orthodox way of doing things. In the US, it took more than 200 years for a black man to be elected president in a predominantly white country.
    “Ironically, the very people in Malaysia, who cheer for Obama do not think that a Chinese lady is deemed fit to lead PKNS,” Ong said in a statement.
    Ong, who is Transport Minister, said the reaction from certain politicians from both sides of the divide on the appointment showed that they were still “stuck in their own racial cocoon.”

  18. It appears to me that only Pak Lalang and Monsterball will go to Syurga! Let it be so! have a great day there, folks!! What wishful thinking!
    ABI

  19. Dear Tun,
    If I were Tun Salleh I would donate all the RM5 million to charitable organsations.If he feels guilty he should heed my advice.What is the point of taking the RM5 million when the taxpayers keep on questioning the logic of giving the ex-gtatia to such a colossal amount which is beyong imagination. It is just like striking a lotery ticket with RM1 investment.
    Lucky you, Tun Salleh. Meleleh air lior saya !!

  20. Dear Tun,
    Tun Salleh is now an instant millionaire at the expense of taxpayers money. He should be thankful to Zaid Ibrahim and jangan lupa bayar zakat!!!! Nanti tak masuk syurga. Allah akan murka.

  21. ABI,
    What a very childish statement. Now I know your level of intelligence! You are GREAT man !!! kah, kah, kah .

  22. “Monsterball” should be condemned to neraka for his racist views!
    His words and actions are being recorded by God, beware!

  23. Pak Lalang is unhappy about the ex-gratia payment to the sacked judges because he didn’t get any? sour grapes?
    ABI

  24. Dear Tun,
    What a shocker !!! RM5 million ex-gratia to Tun Salleh. Crazy, indeed !! A judge who is guilty of “salah laku” getting equivalent of more than 40 years of monthly allowance, if calculated an average of RM10,000 per month. UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!! And what about the rest of the judges in the same boat as Tun Salleh ??????
    Haprak and HP6 decision made by flip, flop, flup cabinet of Pak Lah. Who initiated it other than the “great” impressionist ex-Law Minister.The ex-gratia amount is scandalous. It must be withdrawn. Yhey don’t deserve it all. It is a slap on the face of the Yang Dipertuan Agong!!

  26. Asalamualaikum Tun, my brothers and sisters, and non-muslim friends
    The current world financial system, the backbone of which is usury, is forbidden in the Quran, Torah and the Gospel. The world started to adopt this system I believe in the 1900s. Since then, the financial market has been very volatile, affecting the real sector. The Asian financial crisis was God’s reminder to us. Now let me turn your attention to trade integration and pattern in Asia after the crisis. Surprisingly, many researchers have showed empirically trade integration and trade pattern in East Asia after the crisis had grown rapidly unaffected by the crisis, with China emerging as the important trading partner for all countries in the region. God gives multiple blessings to trades and will wage war to those who devour usury. The current world financial crisis is another reminder for us again. Dont be misled and dazzled by the current sophisticated world financial system.
    From the Quran.
    In The Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Merciful.
    Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: “Trade is like usury,” but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever).

  27. Salam dear Tun,
    Well said Tun or should i say well written. All 3 segments or should we say snippets are all about rubbish.
    Rubbish talk by anwar and the reporter, rubbish comments by some people and lastly all the rubbish that anwar and the reporter, some people and we made in this country.
    Discipline and attitude is the key. If anwar and the reporter, some people and us fail to manage our own waste then we only have anwar and the reporter, some people and us to blame. Instead of we only talk about the japanese rubbish discipline as well as the british rubbish attitude. We should follow the rubbish er sorry them.
    But without the government ruling and enforcement we are what we are… hehehe
    Thanks very much for all the wonder years dearest Tun.
    A song for you – Dimanakan ku cari ganti…

  28. ABI,
    Don’t talk about modern management principles to me when you do not know the background of the person. Please reserve your judgment about ones academic qualification to avoid being RIAK.
    I am not being racist. The fact remains that you must really reflect back what is the main objective of establishing PKNS, period. The ideal person who should be heading PKNS must be a bumiputra whether he is a Muslim, Christian or Hindu !!!
    Talking about Pak Lah. He is write off, as far as I am concerned. He has failed miserably as a Prime Minister.

  29. Here in Australia, every house will have three different rubbish bins. The big green rubbish bins, with yellow, red and green lids. Each for different type of rubbish. One for recycling, one for rubbish, and one for organic materials. People here are very strict in terms of recycling, and they never mix recyclable materials together with rubbish. Recycling is a must!
    When you were the PM, i think recycling campaign was a lot more intense than it is now. People no longer care about rubbish and landfill. I think the goverment needs to implement recycling and this matter seriously before it’s too late. It takes a long time for people to actually absorb the idea of recycling thoroughly. People need time to change. Better start now before it’s too late.

  30. As a practising Muslim, I am ashamed of Pak Lalang’s comments and remarks. We need to be fair to everyone. That is the basic tenet of Islam. I want to see that everyone is treated alike because we are all God’s children. God does not discriminate.
    “SEDC” means “State Economic Development Corporation.” It means further that “economic development” is for all in the state, not for a particular component of society. In modern management concept and parlance, what is important is “the right fit.” That means whoever is qualified (regardless of race or religion) should be appointed.
    Pak Lalang should go for a management course to enlighten himself.
    My thinking is that so long as there are half-baked politicians who play the race card,racial supremacists, narrow-minded and intolerant goons in this great country of ours, there is not going to be fairness and unity among us.
    Abdullah Badawi has said that anyone can become a PM in this country. He was speaking with his tongue in cheek! Such hypocritical leaders must be rejected outright.

  31. DEAREST TUN
    APA YANG DSAI LAKUKAN SEMASA KEMELESATAN EKONOMI TAHUN 97 ADALAH SATU PELUANG DAN PERCUBAAN DSAI UNTUK MENJATUHKAN TUN AGAR BELIAU DAPAT JADI PM, DENGAN HARAPAN BELIAU DAPAT MENUTUP SEGALA SALAH LAKU BELIAU SEPERTI MORAL, RASUAH DAN SEBAGAINYA. TETAPI TUHAN MASIH SAYANGKAN KITA SEMUA DENGAN MENGGAGALKAN RENCANA JAHAT DSAI.SEUNGGUHNYA KITA PATUT BERSYUKUR KERANA TELAH DISELAMATKAN DARIPADA PENYANGAK SEPERTI DSAI.
    MALANGNYA REGIM PAK LAH JUGA DILIHAT CUBA MENGULANGI KESALAHN YANG DSAI LAKUKAN DAHULU. SATU KEMUSYKILAN SAYA YANG TAK TERJAWAB HINGGA HARI INI ADALAH MENGAPA TIDAK ADA SATU PUN KOMEN KERANA OLEH DSAI TERHADAP PAK LAH DAN SEBALIKNYA? ADAKAH INI SATU KONSPIRASI ANTARA MEREKA BERDUA ? BANYAK YANG BOLEH DIPERTIKAIKAN ? HARAP-HARAP SAMPAH-SAMPAH INI DAPAT DIMUATKAN KEDALAM TONG YANG BERSESUAIAN.

  32. ….LEMBU PUNYA SUSU SAPI PUNYA NAMA?
    Tun disanjung menangani krisis kewangan 1997-1998 memang tepat. Tapi ada sudut lain bila sebut tuduhan terhadap peranan Anwar.
    Lihat langkah persiapan awal melindung ekonomi kita sebelum ribut melanda. Bermula Aug 1997…(awan mula mendung belum ribut lagi)
    ….SEBELUM RIBUT DAN TENGAH RIBUT
    Langkah awal Anwar(sekat bank dan pasaran saham) betul dan tepat pada keadaan sebelum ribut. Berjuta duit bank dan rakyat M’sia terselamat dari jerat. Ini satu dari sebab kita tak perlu pinjaman IMF.
    Runtuh harga saham, lumpuh bank, perniagaan meleset tetap berlaku thn 98 diseluruh Asia. Tapi langkah Anwar ini dah selamatkan bot kita dari terbalik, hanya bocor sikit.
    Bila ribut tiba, sampailah waktu langkah menyelamat yg dah terjerumus. Modal dan keadaan bank tak parah sangat krn langkah awal. Tapi tiada peluang bila Anwar kena pecat.
    Restriction on banks, share market controls and tightened lending are appropriate PRE EMPTIVE (not permanent) measures.
    Don’t just thank the one who led you out of the jungle, ask him how he led you there in the first place!
    ….JANGAN TAK KENANG BUDI
    Jangan lupa kenang budi Pak Lah menjimat wang negara dari projek mega dan kurangkan deficit negara bila krisis kewangan dunia melanda sepenuhnya tahun depan. Yang sumpah Pak Lah, duit jimat susidi minyak, jambatan bengkok, kompleks kastam tambak jangan minta bila susah. Tahun 2010, jambatan dan kompleks kastam, keretapi letrik boleh dibina separuh harga!!
    Terima kasih Pak Lah!

  33. Dear Tun, salam sejahtera sihat selalu. Minta izin..
    Harap ini boleh. Saya pecahkannya agar mudah diterima.
    …..KRISIS KEWANGAN – TARIK PINJAMAN BELI SAHAM
    Ekonomi Thailand di serang dan ‘Baht crisis'(Aug 97) mengguncang pasaran saham Asean. Anwar ambil langkah nasihat bank tarik balik ‘share financing’. Kesan serta merta harga saham menurun, orang salahkan siapa?. Tapi lihat sekeliling Asia, saham tetap turun mendadak krn nilai mata wang turun dan modal asing mengalir keluar bukan ‘share financing’.
    Langkah ini dah selamatkan berjuta duit bank dan berjuta rakyat dari terjerat. Yang dah terjerumus (krn tamak sendiri) di peringkat harga saham paling tinggi, kena tunggu bot penyelamat.
    …..KRISIS KEWANGAN – SEKAT PINJAMAN BANK
    Serentak dgn tindakan saham, dikenakan sekatan terhadap bank. Remember until Aug 97 there was free spending, dealing and wheeling. It was the good times! Anwar ubah kaedah NPL, turunkan tahap pinjaman, naik kadar faedah untuk pelihara modal bank.
    Semua langkah ini hendak melindung bank dari jerat terus meminjam dalam keadaan bahaya krn pinjaman risiko akan naik. Tempias kesan ini, yang dah berhutang turut tanggung beban, tapi bukan itu tujuannya. Dia ada jaring penyelamat untuk orang ini, tapi jaring itu tak bermakna bila Anwar dipecat.
    Lihat negara lain banknya tetap lumpuh walaupun tak ambil langkah ini. Sebab krisis ini krn nilai wang turun, modal asing lari, serangan ekonomi dari luar bukan tindakan bank.

  34. salam.
    bolehkah tun buka satu blog lain lebih kepada penulisian ilmiah?. tiada isu2 politik dimasukkan.
    setahu saya tun sentiasa membawa buku kecil untuk membuat catatan. apa kata tun tuliskan catatan itu dalam blog.
    boleh tak tun senaraikan buku2 yang telah tun hasilkan.

  35. hilarious,
    I have high regard for Kit Siang. I think he is the most competent leader to be Prime Minister. But unfortunately he will have to wait at least another 5 general elections to come. Likewise Anwar, maybe end of the year !!! kah, kah, kah !!!

  36. Dear Tun,
    We are not concerned about non-Malay being head of SDC. First those people out there must understand what is the original objective of setting up SDCs by the BN government decades ago. Study its background before making very idiotic statement like petty-mindedness, bickering, racism, intolerance etc..The objective is to assist the Malays to be involved and get the exposure in various economic activities. As such it is only logical for SDC to have a Malay head so that he would be able to appreciate the needs of the Malays and communicate better. What to be ashamed of !! Come on, the elite few, please be sensible in your comment!!

  37. In the historical moment of America, it shows that a change is a must in the time of turmoil. The American is mature because they know that it doesn’t matter it is Black or White. Barack Obama did not win because he was black. He won because he was able to inspire people with his words. He won because he showed maturity and calm resolve in his words. He won because people believed in him. Even White American has casted their vote to him because they know true leader should not be judged by skin color, but his ability.
    The people of Malaysia (especially the politicians) should learn something from this. We should stop using the color of our skins to

  38. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Pardon me Tun,
    To dear Mr Anthony Barcott, please to know that you are very well off and very educated. You have been all around the world. You have no worries about empty pockets. You are born lucky. But please don’t look down on other people especially the Malays. What have we the Malays done to you to receive such condemnations from you? The Malays are actually very peaceful loving and hardworking people. There are the urban Malays and the rural Malays and most of us are in the rural areas and we are happy with what we have. Go the the kampongs and experience the life there and the hardships they undergo. Some has never stepped out of their kampongs but they never complain. If you are not pleased with us we are sorry but then again please don’t insult, degrading and humiliate us. We are all the creations of the Creator. We too are seeking better lives for the sake of our future generations. We too have our rights in our land, Mr Anthony. Is it so hard for you to understand us? I’m not representing anyone but myself and my children and family. And I feel you have humiliated my family and I want to defend them. But then again whom am I to stop you. Just a nobody, never been to luxury places and sleep in posh hotels like you. Whatever you say about us Malays, Mr Anthony will not make us any lesser. That is all I have to say to you,Mr Anthony. May you find peace in wherever you go.
    Tun, thank you for giving way. Sorry if I’m way out of line. No matter what others say of you Tun you are still the best leader Malaysia has ever had. You are a great thinker and we Malays are proud of you ‘cos you are a Malay, a very brilliant Malay.
    Take good care Tun and May Allah Look Upon You Always.

  39. To ABI and Hilarious
    Stop making sensitive racial remarks in this blog. This is Malaysia, not America. If you like the America way then go and migrate there. No one will hold you back. Everyone in Malaysia respect that Malay is the Bumiputra of this country and should be given all the special rights and treatment. There is no doubt that only Malay should become the PM of this country and the notion of Malay Supremacy or “Ketuanan Melayu” in this country can never be challenged!

  40. When a non-Malay is appointed to a SDC to be the head, we make a lot of noise in our country. In America, a black American is elected President. That shows the maturity, intelligence, tolerance and the broad-midedness of the Americans. What are we doing in our country? We are given to petty-mindedness, bickering, racism, intolerance and all the negative behaviour. It’s a real shame, Malaysians! Let’s buck-up and be like the open-minded people throughout the world.
    ABI

  41. pakbelalang is hilarious.
    He says things that make no sense.
    Please check and discern your fact from fiction.
    The government still want to go ahead and put M$5 billion from EPF into Valuecap, and najib is still saying Malaysia will not go into a technical recession.
    PLEASE WAKE UP!
    US just had a historic moment. For me, i don’t need a major political change, i just want those in the government to PLEASE get proper education and lead the country.
    Heck, who cares if Najib or Anwar leads? I just want a competent leader.
    Half of the ministers seems to me like they’ve been deprived of education.
    The current ministers are racist and sexist.
    The opposition ministers are just walking out whenever things don’t go their way, what a joke. Stay and debate with Najib for the love of our country.
    DM, if you really still have influence over the government, please persuade the government to not touch the worker’s money.

  42. good day tun,
    this is my first time commenting on chedet.com
    first and foremost, i wish tun health in all many ways.
    followed, i do agreed on one of the comment that was preseanted earlier that the malaysian goverment or the media is or was not informative enough. people does not know or care about the enviroment. well, in my point of view, its about the information that was suppose to provide to the people and tell them about how important the enviroment is to them.
    water for most of us knows that it came from pipes, not underground water. ( sorry,no offence tun) hence, they wont really care about the trees and plants that was planted and etc. why care about the goverment property where by we are having problems in many ways of our lifes, eg. financially. ( its just a fact in my own opinion)
    i was considered half singaporean as my grand parents are in sg, yet i was born and raise in malaysia as i;m born chinese- indian mix. so, it makes me a malaysian by born.
    when i travelled back to singapore, the streets were EXTRA ORDINARY clean, and i as a malaysian, was happy. Verry happy to use their toilets espeacially. i believe all malaysians have this problems.
    to culminate, i hope that the goverment uses more tactful ways to inform about their heritage and rights to the people and stop propoganda’ing about politics all the time in the news paper.
    for god sake, let the journalist be ethical and let the people know, and please start respecting editors. ( its not easy to be an editor, they are well experienced to be what they are today.)
    extra note out of topic- EQUELITY IS WHAT ALL MALAYSIANS WANTS.
    thanks

  43. 2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    One could be seem clean when there is no supporting evidence, but doesn’t mean it is the truth when there are still unanswered doubt.

  44. Take the example of our recent universities ranking in the world, I feel that one of the biggest obstacles to the progress of our society is the issue of denial syndrome. The pride can be terribly hurt especailly when the denial syndrome looks and sounds so hollow. When a society starts to cheat itself by creating its own presumed standard just by altering E to D, then D to C, and Cto B, and B to A; it is the begining of the never-ending circle of make beliefs. So they will be given yearly chance to repeat the same sad story!
    They (the Government) forgot that the whole world is passing us by! The basic rule can never be changed; we compete with DONGGGU, we are still Champion of DONGGGUS!! We stay where we are, we would only be KAMPONG CHAMP! The situation will never improve unless the community realizes that we can only become world champ when we compete in the OPEN event!
    Start abandoning the notion of race supremacy and move forward. We need the best talent to lead the country. The American has shown us a historical moment. Malaysia can do it too!

  45. Pak “Lalang” berfikiran sempit. Untuk menggantikan helikopter Nuri, penilaian mendalam perlu dilakukan dari segi fizikal, kewangan, prestasi teknikal dsb. Seperti dinyatakan oleh Jawatankuasa Akaun Awam (sebuah Jawtankuasa Parlimen), penilaian tidak dilakukan serti dikehendaki dalam penentuan tender.You memang tolol-lah “lalang.” Lebih baik jika anda berdiam diri. Don’t expose your fat brain!
    ABI

  46. TO all the “Prince and Princess of the Soil”
    You can boast and sing about the so called “Malay Supremacy” or “Ketuanan Melayu” and hug it to sleep every night. As a foreigner who has been working in Asia for more than 12 years, I can tell you that you are not even near when comparing to people from Korea, Singapore or even China in terms of working attitude, educational level, knowledge and creativity. Pardon me but I just cannot understand the logic behind the discriminatory policies of this country!

  47. To pakbelalang
    I expect people to a bit smarter when they are making comment on this blog and your comment is just hilarious. It is not the problem of Nuri itself. We have not heard from other countries who are using this model have big complaint. It is more on the quality of the people who fly it. If there is lack of proper training and the quality of the pilot is no good, there are bound to be accidents no matter what plane/helicopter you fly.
    You are wasting my time talking to you.

  48. Salam Tun,
    1.tiap kali saya asing sampah,pekerja yang datang ambil sampah tetap campur semua dalam tong yang sama.
    2. saya perlu bawa sampah sendiri letak ke tong yang berkenaan.adus, sudah bayar pun kena buat sendiri.PBT Pekan PHG mahu jawab?
    3. depan rumah saya ada kawasan semak sebelum parit.oleh sebab terlalu semak, bimbang keselamatan ( kalau ular masuk rumah), jadi saya upah orang untuk bersihkan
    4. dah cantik bersih,sampah pun tiada,ada pula makhluk alam bernama manusia buang sampah.
    5. dahla nak parking bawah pokok supaya kereta tidak panas,boleh pula buang sampah.
    6. sakitnya hati tidak terkira…belum lagi yang buang pampers bayi..
    7. agaknya saya perlu biar kawasan tu bersemak,supaya orang takut terus nak letak kereta atau apa pun.

  49. Hi Tun,
    Great blog, i believe in the UK, they dump their rubbish at land fills. But their land fills are engineered.Big pits are dug, lined with engineered lining sheet and the methane gas waste product are properly managed.when full , it will be fill up and certain cases , converted into a golf course….

  50. Thank-q pakbelalang.
    If you want to get nice kites, anthony barcroft, maybe you should go to the east coast. They make lovely, creative kites, big ones, small ones, with no engines and lesser dough.:)

    May Allah Bless All. Thank you Tun.

  52. Dear Tun,
    For me M’sia was a better place when it was under your governance. Don’t listen to those who are trying to pull you down. You still have many devoted followers out there. Everyone knows your contributions for M’sia. They are simply too stubborn to admit it.

  54. Anfhony Barcott,
    Don’t deviate from the issue you raised about Kit Siang proposing to upgrade the Nuri. The Nuri is known to be accident prone and had caused death to many army personnel.It is no more a reliable heli. I think you are as idiotic as Kit Siang by talking nonsense telling the whole world that he is safeguarding taxpayers money. Fly kite as far as I am concerned. You got small brain!!

  55. Salam Tun,
    Freee man dear. Hammering seems to be your full time hobby. Really disgusting comment. Tot you’re intelligent but I’m wrong.

    on comment by mohd sivakumar,
    setengah org tu memang tak sedar diri,walaupun hidup mewah hasil dasar2 pemerintah,termasuk DEB masih menghina,komplen macam selamtkan anjing tersepit,digigitnya balik tangan kita..cuba2 la faham maksud ‘di mana bumi dipijak di situ langit dijunjung’
    Your Comment Pak Lebaikudin,
    You dont seem to understand my message,I was never and will never against the Malay brothers.What,I dont agree is the racial politics being played by the UMNO Government and their cronies.
    For instance the stupid NEP policy,Special discount for houses worth Millions and getting the Inferior qualified to lead a department despite having better qualified Non Malays around.To absorb under qualified to study courses like Medicine,Law,Engineering and others.No entrance of Non Malays into government aided projects.
    Instigating the malays and building HATRED and dislike on the Non Malays at Mosque on fridays.Ministers having Split Personalities,Speaking a different Language at Non Malays attended functions and entirely a different at UMNO or Malay Crowded meetings.
    Indians were never against the malay brothers they are equally good or maybe better than any other races.

    A little boy goes to his dad and asks, ‘What is Politics?’
    Dad says, ‘Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
    I am the head of the family, so call me The Premier.
    Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the
    Government.
    We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
    The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
    And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
    Now think about that and see if it makes sense.’
    So the little boy! Goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
    Later that night, he heard his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
    So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room Finding the door locked, he peeked in the keyhole and saw his father in bed with the nanny. He gave up and went to bed.
    The next morning, the little boy says to his father, ‘Dad , I think I understand the concept of politics now.’
    The father says, ‘Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.’
    The little boy replies, ‘The Premier is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.

  58. ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN…
    SAMPAH…MANUSIA YANG LEBIH TERUK DARI SAMPAH PUN ADA, MACAM SI ANWAR,ZAID DAN BANYAK LAGILAH SAMPAH-SAMPAH YANG SAMA WAKTU DENGANNYA. ITULAH DASAR MELAYU YANG GILA KUASA. JANGAN SALAHKAN SAMPAH, KERANA KITA YANG MENJADIKAN SAMPAH ITU. JADI JANGAN MEMILIH SAMPAH UNTUK MEMIMPIN KITA.

  59. yup TUN i know all is anwar wrong he make the country weakness i just hope the country recovery soon nice

  60. Dear Tun, salam sejahtera moga sihat sentiasa. Minta izin..
    Masih mengharap suntingan ini boleh? Bukan kritik Tun, cuma beri sudut lain tentang 97-98.
    ….LEMBU PUNYA SUSU SAPI PUNYA NAMA?
    Tun disanjung menangani krisis kewangan 1997-1998 memang tepat. Tapi tuduhan Anwar tunduk pada IMF dan memburukkan keadaan tak betul kalau lihat keadaan waktu itu dan di negara Asia lain.
    Anwar ada peranan membuat persiapan awal melindung ekonomi kita sebelum ribut melanda. Rewind to Aug 1997…(awan mula mendung belum ribut lagi)
    …..HARGA SAHAM RUNTUH
    Ekonomi Thailand di serang dan ‘Baht crisis'(Aug 97) mengguncang pasaran saham Asean. Kerajaan ambil langkah berjaga jaga nasihat bank tarik balik ‘share financing’. Kesan serta merta harga saham menurun, orang salahkan Anwar. Tapi lihat sekeliling Asia, saham tetap turun mendadak krn nilai mata wang turun dan modal asing mengalir keluar bukan ‘share financing’.
    Langkah ini( beberapa bulan sebelum krisis benar melanda kita) dah selamatkan berjuta duit bank dan berjuta rakyat dari terjerat. Yang dah terjerumus (krn tamak sendiri) di peringkat harga saham paling tinggi, kena tunggu bot penyelamat.
    ….PENYELAMAT BANK
    Serentak dgn tindakan atas, dikenakan sekatan terhadap bank. Remember until Aug 97 there was free spending, dealing and wheeling. It was the good times! Kerajaan ubah kaedah NPL, turunkan tahap pinjaman, naik kadar faedah untuk pelihara modal bank.
    Semua langkah ini hendak melindung bank dari jerat terus meminjam dalam keadaan bahaya krn pinjaman risiko akan naik. Tempias kesan ini, yang dah berhutang turut tanggung beban, tapi bukan itu tujuannya. Dia ada jaring penyelamat untuk orang ini, tapi jaring itu lepas ke tangan lain bila Anwar dipecat.
    Lihat negara lain banknya tetap lumpuh walaupun tak ambil langkah ini. Sebab krisis ini krn nilai wang turun, modal asing lari, serangan ekonomi dari luar.
    ….SEBELUM RIBUT DAN TENGAH RIBUT
    Langkah kerajaan betul dan tepat pada keadaan sebelum ribut. Berjuta duit bank dan rakyat M’sia terselamat dari jerat. Ini satu dari sebab kita tak perlu pinjaman IMF.
    Runtuh harga saham, lumpuh bank, perniagaan meleset tetap berlaku berbulan kemudian dlm thn 98 diseluruh Asia. Tapi langkah kerajaan ini dah selamatkan bot kita dari terbalik, hanya bot bocor bila Anwar dipecat, dituduh rasuah.
    Bila ribut tiba, sampailah waktu langkah menyelamat yg dah terjerumus. Modal dan keadaan bank tak parah sangat krn langkah awal. Tapi tiada peluang bila Anwar kena tangkap.
    ….SIAPA SAVIOUR, PENYELAMAT?
    Masa Anwar ditangkap tepat ketika ribut membadai- langkah awas perlu tukar langkah menyelamat? Anwar kelihatan kuat dan berpengaruh krn ramai orang mencarinya untuk diselamatkan. All great leaders rise from a crisis! Dia tak ada peluang menghabiskan tugasnya krn dipecat….
    The years till Aug 97 was era for artificial growth, paper wealth, deficit budget and high borrowings. Restriction on banks, share market controls and tightened lending are appropriate PRE EMPTIVE(not permanent) measures.
    Don’t just thank the one who led you out of the jungle, ask him how he led you there in the first place!
    ….JANGAN TAK KENANG BUDI
    Jangan lupa kenang budi Pak Lah menjimat wang negara dari projek mega dan kurangkan deficit negara bila krisis kewangan dunia melanda sepenuhnya tahun depan. Yang sumpah Pak Lah, duit jimat susidi minyak, jambatan bengkok, kompleks kastam tambak jangan minta bila susah. Tahun 2010, jambatan dan kompleks kastam, keretapi letrik boleh dibina separuh harga!!
    Terima kasih Pak Lah!

  61. @ moderato,
    “Whatever you comment on the above truly showed that you are indeed racist. As a rakyat, this is a welfare by helping the poor yang kurang bernasib baik. Look at Canada, they too have the best welfare in the world. If the rich and smart who are excellent in their income, they will be subjected to progressive tax, that is you earn higher, you pay more tax.”
    I am a racist simply because I tell the facts as they are?
    Stop using the racism excuse as a shield – this is what the Barisan Nasional has been doing all this while. What is so racist about stating the fact that Malays in Singapore are better off than the Malays in MALAYsia? What you call “welfare” is nothing but racist and corrupt policies used by those in power to enrich themselves and their cronies. Singapore has no NEP. It has no Malay politicians who brandish the keris and frothe at the mouth while screaming fanatically about upholding Malay supremacy. Its government is controlled by the greedy Chinese capitalists who only seek to control the economy. AND YET DESPITE ALL THESE THE MALAYS ARE DOING BETTER IN SINGAPORE, UNDER THE GREEDY CHINESE, THAN THEY ARE IN MALAYSIA UNDER ALL THESE “KETUANAN MELAYU” UMNOPUTRAS. Nasib Melayu dikuburkan di negara Malaysia sendiri.
    Mengapa ini berlaku? Apakah NEP bebar-benar merupakan “welfare” yang saudara sebutkan? MENGAPAKAH Melayu di Malaysia yang dibantu oleh NEP selama lima dekad TIDAK setaraf dengan Melayu negara Singapura di bawah ahli politik Cina yang tidak mempertahankan agenda Melayu dan tidak melaksanakan NEP? Apakah ada apa kurangnya Melayu Malaysia berbanding dengan Melayu Singapura? Ataupun NEP itu sebenarnya hanya helah politik UMNOputra semata-mata?
    Fikir-fikirkan lah.

  63. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Minta izin lalu sekejap;
    Kepada Anthony,pak pandir,freeman dan beberapa lagi yang serumpun
    dengannya…..SUDAH-SUDAHLAH.
    1.Nama pun halaman CHEDET.COM,mestilah ramai yang menghargai dan
    menyokong Tun.Yang kamu tu nak tunjuk hero dengan memberi alasan
    membuta tuli dan biadap datang ke sini , nak dapat publisiti murahke?Nak ‘twist our mind’ke supaya menentang Tun ke?
    2.Pergilah ke blog pemimpin atau parti kesayangan kamu,tak ada
    sesiapa nak mennghalang.Manusia tak bersyukur macam kamu ni memang
    berlambak sekarang ni.
    3.Tun telah membuktikan adalah Pm terbaik.Manusia mana ada yang perfect.Tapi kami di sini nampak banyak kebaikan yang ditinggalkan
    oleh Tun.Selalunya orang yang berlagak pandai macam kamu semua ni
    ‘indah khabar dari rupa’.
    -Kepada Ayahanda Tun yang bijaksana, bolehkah kiranya sudi Tun
    memberi pendapat prospek bidang baru yang boleh menjana pertumbuhan
    ekonomi negara seperti bidang Bioteknologi.
    Terima kasih
    ROZANNA HUSSAIN

  64. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    To Anthony Barcott,
    I back to differ to your comment that LKS was so concern of the tax payers monies, he merely championing of himself and his DAP. What are the things that the government do he complimenting them? Nothing….everything not to his liking..but whatever his son implementions has a basis and justifiable..This senile LKS should be cleansed in the incinerator.
    Semoga Tun sekeluarga sihat selalu.

  65. salam semua
    pasal insinerator ni… takde masalahnyer lori tu busuk ke wangi ke.
    yang pentingnyer tempat yang kiter sediakan untuk pembuangan sampah sekarang ni digantikan dengan insinerator. objektif utama nak kurangkan sampah. tak semestinya nak kene buat benda tu kat bandar, kawasan penempatan.
    kalau nak tunggu semua lori sampah jadi wangi, dengan pemikiran still tahap 3rd class kebanyakan orang malaysia hari ini, alamat sampai ke kiamat la jawabnya. takkan tercapai la sampai biler2 matlamat tu.
    raser nak suruh je pak lah tu masuk sekolah rendah balik. pembundaran pon tak tahu. kalau suruh ambik UPSR lom tentu lulus dia nie. agak2 nye macam tu lah nkot selama ni dia rancang perbelanjaan negara, main hentam bundarkan, yg lebih tu … hmmm paham2 je lah kemana perginye.
    makin lama makin geram. dah lama tak tengok muka paklah kat tv…sebab setiap kali kuar berita pasal dier akan ku tukar channel hehehehe…

  66. Thank you Tun. You have make all the rapist, robbers and criminals so safe and happy in this country. I am so thank you now. We have many more ways to survive and get to be rich here.

  67. To pakbelalang
    Lim Kit Siang was comparing the price that Malaysia is paying for the Eurocopters compared to the price paid by other countries for the same helicopters and being very unsatisfied with the Minister’s reply, he asked that valid question. He is safeguarding your money, all the Malaysian tax payers’ money, friend if you don’t mind. Malaysia is famous for paying extra for everything and whenever it comes any any project, it is billions of Ringgit. Malaysia Boleh!

  68. Dearest Tun,
    Maaf, have to say this..
    Anuar said that fighting for Malay supremacy to enrich a small number of Malays.. of course he knows this, he is one of them. It takes one to know another!
    Re what Lim Kit Siang said to just upgrade the Nuri, well anak cucu dia tak bekerja dengan kerajaan, mati berapa ramai pun tak apa..
    Salam.

  69. assalamualaikum YB TUN yang dihormati,
    INTERVIEW
    1.Sebelum ini sering terjadi kekeliruan dan manipulasi oleh pihak
    media barat tentang fakta negara lain.Tidak menjadi pekara menghairankan.
    2.Sebelum ini mereka memang tidak senang dengan kelantangan Tun,
    maka dengan peluang yang ada bolehlah menggunakan SUPER CLOWN(AI)
    untuk merendahkan Tun.Tapi tak mengapa Kami rakyat yang melalui
    waktu itu mengetahui perkara yang sebenar.AI…AI..awak ni tak habis
    habis nak kelentong.
    COMMENT
    1.Seperti komen sneakeymoon yang mengibaratkan mereka yang suka
    mengutuk Tun dengan pelbagai tuduhan sebagai ‘melepaskan anjing yang
    tersepit’tidak tepat kerana anjing lebih mulia daripada mereka yang
    sombong perasan pandai.Kebiasaanya anjing akan taat dan membalas
    jasa orang yang membuat baik kepadanya.Mereka ini lebih tepat
    ‘Seperti melepaskan ular tersepit’kerana ular akan tetap mematuk
    walaupun kepada tuannya sendiri
    INCINERATOR
    1Kebersihan adalah bermula dari rumah,kemudian sekolah dan penguatkuasaan yang tegas.
    2.Amalan pengasingan bahan organik dan bukan organik telah lama
    diamalkan oleh ibubapa saya dan kini saya mendidik anak-anak saya
    amalan ini.
    3.Tong kitar semula patut diperbanyakkan di kawasan perumahan.
    4.Iklan dan kempen patut diteruskan terutamanya di TV,radio dan media cetak.Sekurang-kurangnya kanak-kanak lebih senang ddiidik
    berbanding orang dewasa.
    5.Saya memang telah lama bersetuju dengan incerator ini.Walaupun
    mahal kos penyelenggaraannya,tetapi memandangkan kebaikannya
    dalam penyelesaian masalah sampah pada masa hadapan ia patut diteruskan.Mereka yang membantah,kerana kurang informasi mengenai
    keberkesanan sistem ini.
    6.Walaubagaimanapun kebersihan adalah bergantung kepada sikap diri
    sendiri.Oleh kerana kempen dan didikan tidak diendahkan.Jalan terbaik penguatkuasa yang TEGAS.
    Sentiasa menyokong Tun.

  70. Dear Tun, salam sejahtera moga sihat selalu dan panjang umur. Minta izin..
    ….CRITICISM
    Memang patut Tun mengeluh tentang tuduhan membuta tanpa menunjuk sebab dan asas. Tapi mcm biasa, Tun pandai kata orang tapi ‘lupa’ ingatkan diri sendiri. Tun biarkan tuduhan, cemuhan, hinaan tanpa tunjuk asas terhadap Pak Lah dan keluarganya, Anwar, pemimpin pemimpin Umno yg tak disenangi, dll di blog ini. Berkali kali mrk ulang kiriman.
    Patutlah senang capai 8juta kunjungan. Maki hamun dikira sekali. Kalau campur maki hamun Tun mungkin sampai 27 juta?
    ….Kena sekat
    Saya masih edit tulisan balas tentang dasar Anwar ketika krisis 97-98. Tentu ada kaitan bukan sampah. Entah perenggan mana menyinggung…. masih tunggu censor. Harap tidak kena block bulat bulat.

  71. Anthony Barcott,
    Whatever it is please do not deny the fact that the Malaysian government have made comparative studies on the technical specs to buy the Eurocopters. They are not dungus.Your Kit Siang is proposing to upgrade the Nuri which have been in service for dongkey years. It should be write off totally because even though you upgrade the Nuri I am sure there is element of material fatique to take into consideration. I expect people like you to have wisdom in your comment. Think !!

  72. Salam Y Bhg Tun
    Just a brief one….
    “You are the best Prime Minister that I’ve known”
    The many developments you’ve brought to the country & the people is greatly appreciated.
    To those who who doesn’t know how to be appreciative, is just like a malay proverb that says: “Ibarat Melepaskan Anjing Tersepit”
    What ever it is, I’m always with you even thou you are no longer the prime Minister. Your Ideas & visions that what brings Malaysia today!
    I’ll always pray for you & Tun Hasmah a good and healthy life!
    I’m really proud of you Tun….
    Salam….

  73. Tun,
    This is interesting :”That is for the Government to do, as we pay taxes precisely for sorting our rubbish.”
    On the other hand, why do we have to pay for IWK? Is it not the responsibilty of the Government to sort that out for us, the Taxpayers?
    Thank you Sir.

  74. Salam Ayahanda Tun. I must say that your comment section is heaping up rubbish just as well lately Sir. If its dry leaves in the yard, I would have volunteered away one weekend to help you rake them in for the local trash disposals. I may even make a few bucks there to cover the children

  75. 1. Kawan saya pernah disaman oleh pihak DBKL kerana membuang puntung rokok di atas siar kaki.
    2. Kalau tak salah saya di bawah akta parit dan saliran
    3. Dan kawan saya pergi ke DBKL sambil ditemani saya merayu untuk pengurangan saman dan membayarnya
    4. Perkara tersebut telah menjadi bahan ketawa kami semua
    5. Walaupun lucu.. kami menjadi lebih berhati2 sehingga kini
    6. Yang saya ingin kongsikan adalah kisah penguatkuasaan
    7. Kadangkala saya juga membuang puntung rokok di jalanan (dan berhati2)
    8. Saya percaya manusia melihat kepada 2 jenis akibat hasil perbuatannya iaitu ganjaran dan hukuman
    9. Walaupun zaman sekarang masyarakat lebih condong kepada sikap yang berunsur positif (ganjaran) seperti nasihat, kaunseling, dll
    10. Tetapi saya lebih percaya manusia sebenarnya takut
    11. Walaupun kita mempunyai dasar atau polisi yang baik.. semuanya runtuh kerana penguatkuasaan yang lemah
    12. Masyarakat membandingkan ratio bilangan doktor:penduduk atau yang lain..
    13. Berapakah ratio untuk penguatkuasa? Dan apakah ratio yang sesuai?
    14. Jadi saya cadangkan tingkatkan bilangan penguatkuasa.. tambah hasil negara.. kurangkan rasuah dari berleluasa (ini kena tambah penguatkuasa BPR)

  76. Mungkin kita kena fikir balik mentaliti kita pasal sampah.
    Its everybody business bukan Alam Flora sahaja.

  77. Salam buat Tun & Isteri.
    1. Selain dari Pilihan Raya Umum, this is one of the media for general public like us and to an entity like me to extend our/my thoughts and comments and our dissappointment over the unbecoming, selfishness and unthoughtful present government administration in administrating our beloved country.
    2. Kesombongan yang membawa dan membuka kepada kejahilan yang menyusahkan rakyat dipraktikkan oleh parti pemerintah sekarang. Malang buat mereka dan diri rakyat kerana Kita-kita ini dianggap sebagai dungu dan bodoh untuk membuat penilaian. Tahap kita sebagai rakyat biasa ini tidak setara dengan kehebatan pemikiran pemerintah maka jadilah keadaan-keadaan dan suasana-suasana yang tak selesa sekarang ini.
    3. Wahai Pemerintah jangan salahkan kepada keadaan ekonomi global yang membawa kepada ketidak tentuan masa kini di negara ini KERANA kalau keadaan ekonomi global tak macam sekarangpun You’d still and in fact are still screwing it up. Merci Upon ALLAH.
    4. Jadi salahkah rakyat biasa ni dan orang-orang seperti Tun memberi dan menyuarakan pendapat sekadar untuk mengingatkan dan membetulkan balik track dan halatuju yang positif??
    5. Kepada Tun yang dikasihi, terima kasih dan teruskan perjuangan Tun, kami-kami diluar ini mendoakan kesejahteraan Tun & Isteri sekeluarga dan menyokong apa yang Tun telah lakukan dahulu dan hari ini demi kesejahteraan negara kita yang tercinta.
    Terima kasih.
    Dari Rakyat Tertipu.

  78. 2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    Hi Tun,
    I don’t see anything wrong with Pak Lah,except that he is not competence to run this country.So, can you share with us any evidence say..coruptions or manupulating of his power,cronies (what wrong with that anyway?)..I think he is a good Imam before..that all.

  79. By aku lah barua {yeah, i remember that anuar is the one who is promoting the imf strategy and not happy when you implemented to defend the country from bankruptcy, now he is claiming the CLOB, such a bastard kind of a person anwar is.and his supporters too are bastards when know anuar is wrong and still supporting him.these are the real jewish in the country. imaging thier boss are wrong but still suport, if they have the country then ….perhaps our future had been sold by these anuarism bastard}
    Totally agreed with you…AI worse & wish him go to hell coz
    dajal melayu will made our country disaster.

  81. Assalamualaikum.
    Teguran Tun tentang kenyataan dan hujah yang tidak disandarkan fakta amatlah dihargai. Adalah menjadi lumrah kehidupan kami yang kurang pandai ini bercakap atau menulis sekadar menurut nafsu dan keseronokan sendiri. Inilah perbezaan antara yang berilmu dan yang kurang ilmu, namum ramai merasakan mereka adalah yang paling pandai dan betul. Isu rasuah dan salah guna kuasa juga begitu, berapa ramai ahli politik, penjawat awam dan ahli perniagaan mengata orang lain mengamalkan rasuah tetapi terlupa bahawa mereka juga mengamalkannya.
    Orang Melayu dan Islam pada hari ini menghadapi satu krisis identit yang hebat dan gagal mencari titik persamaan antara mereka, sedangkan dahulunya Melayu dan Islam itu ibarat isi dan kulit. Kenapakah di persoalkan kedaulatan Bangsa Melayu, Agama Islam dan apa-apa perkara tentang Melayu dan Islam dalam Perlembagaan? Adakah atas nama keadilan sepertinya yang diperjuangkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat? Dimana adilnya jika sesuatu yang telah dimiliki diambil atau dirampas, ataupun adakah wajib Bangsa Melayu dan Islam bangkit berjihad mempertahankan apa yang mereka miliki?
    Amatlah perlu Bangsa Melayu dan Islam berfikir dengan panduan Agama Islam yang syumul dalam perkara ini kerana kesilapan kita menyokong Pakatan Rakyat menyebabkan kita menggadaikan maruah Agama dan Bangsa yang telah wujud di Tanah Melayu ini kira-kira 1000 tahun dahulu. INSYAALLAH “tak akan Melayu hilang di dunia”. Sesungguhnya orientalis dan komunis telah dari dulu lagi cuba memusnahkan Islam dan Bangsa Melayu ini. Janganlah kita terpengaruh dengan janji manis dan pembohongan puak-puak ini dan cukuplah sekali kita tertipu. Lebih 300 tahun untuk kita mendapat kembali apa yang kita hilang itu. Kerosakan dan kerugian dalam tempoh ini bukan sedikit terpaksa kita tanggung. Berapa banyak khazanah kita hilang dan berapa ramai juga Bangsa Melayu Islam yang terpesong akidahnya.
    Segalanya bermula dari fitnah dan pembunuhan yang dimulakan oleh si Kitul akhirnya tumbang kerajaan Melaka. Ada pihak yang cuba meniru si Kitul ini pada masa ini. Fitnah dan dendam bercambah begitu subur kerana kuasa dan harta. Tiada lagi adab dan peraturan, yang penting apa dihajati tercapai. Kejujuran dan maruah menjadi taruhan, hujah dicari untuk menghalalkan pekerjaan dan tindakan mereka. Inilah keadilan yang diperjuangkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat yang diketua oleh Anwar Ibrahim. Sokonglah dia untuk keruntuhan Negara Malaysia yang mengiktiraf kedaulatan Bangsa Melayu dan Agama Islam.

  82. Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera semua,
    Sampah ……… Dah asingkan ikut jenis. Bila lori majlis datang semua sampah dicampak satu lori, tak asingkan pun. Hampeh.
    Bila pengguna dah betul, orang majlis buat sambil lewa, lama-lama pengguna pun menyampah nak layan.
    Tong guna semula, letak kat shopping complex besar-besar. Ada ke orang gi shopping, pakai cantik-cantik bawak sampah berbondot-bondot. Fuh! penuh kereta dengan sampah, kalau bawak lori tak pa la. Kesedaran pihak bertanggungjawab tahap budak tadika. Fikirlah…. frust betoiiiii.

  83. Respected Tun and those yang only critise Tun tak sudah (they should know who they are).
    I have travelled to and live (reside) in quite a number of countries (east and west), and Tun Mahathir’s name is always uttered by the people each time I told them that I am from Malaysia, all with a very positive comment.
    Even to the westeners who do not seem to like Tun would still regard him as somebody who is brave, a genius with vision. This too was admitted by a journalist friend of mine (English, Brit – although he was only a freelance journalist at that time).
    I am compelled to comment because in fact my current boss (I’m currently working in Seoul) just asked me about “your great prime minister – Mahathir” a few minutes ago. He said many Koreans regards Tun Mahathir as the only Asian leaders that stands out as a great visionary leader.
    Tun, my heart swells with pride to hear such comment. Not to mention numerous other comments from many other people who do not even benefit directly from your leadership.
    So, I still fail to comprehend why all these people still talk rubbish about Tun when they themselves and their families benefitted from what you have brought to our country.
    Sure, no one is perfect, there were flaws in Tun’s era, but the good far outweigh the bad. What we should do is try to curb and improve the bads with constructive comments rather than ranting vindictively and seperti “orang tak mengenal budi”.
    I wonder if the list of your own good deeds can even match with 1%of Tun’s good deeds.
    Sampah – yes.. many of the western countries and developed Eastern nation (Japan n Seoul) have adopted the garbage segregation and recycling system, their implementation is good, the system educates the people and the system is working well due to ever increasingly educated (civic-minded) people. It is kind of “chicken n egg” thing, if we wait for our people to achieve a 1st class mentality, we may be waiting forever…hence the education, introduction and implementation should go hand in hand.
    Semoga Allah pelihara negara Malaysia dari kehancuran dan bencana, for the sake of our future generation. We need a credible leader!!!

  85. Well !!! Zul. i didn’t expect you to debate or understand my writing at all. i would not expect a frog live inside a well to understand and vision how big the outside world is.
    forget about it… i had encounter too many of your “typical malay” type.. be it my business partners or personal friends. all the while, i do my best to encourage your ‘typical malay” in view of we are malaysian.. then your people just won’t change at all. guess what repsonse i get??? “tak ada apa ma!!! tak ada apa ma!!!”. what kind of attitude is it??? it is just wasting time and money to help, advise, explaint or debate.
    Luckily, We had TUN in malaysia. an outstanding malay who i look up to. or else, malaysia will just be another indonesia and after that, you could continue your jungle journey together with your keris and shout “i am the owner of this land”… sorry what land???? oh another indonesia.. abang adik reunioin..
    sohai!!

  86. kepada “anak georgetown” yg dikasihi,
    Seorang pegetua sekolah mentadbir sekolahnya selama 22 tahun. Dengan penggunaan kaedah kekerasan dan kuasa mutlak beliau, keadaan sekolah dapat dikawal dengan sempurna. Bilik sekolah dicatkan setiap tahun agar nampak berwarna-warni (keharmonian), tuggul peringatan jagung berkembar gergasi didirikan agar sekolah nampak mewah (pembangunan), pokok yg berdaun kehijauan ditanam dan menjadi kebanggaan sekolah sekian lama (perpaduan) …
    Beliau amat gembira (atau digelar syok sendiri), kerana mendapat pujian atas pentadbiran beliau …
    Masa berlalu dan kini tibalah masanya untuk beliau bersara. Jawatannya diberikan kepada pewaris yg dilantik oleh beliau sendiri. Di bawah pentadbiran pewarisnya, pelbagai masalah tertimbul. Murid-murid bergaduh antara satu-sama lain, penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh cikgu-cikgu yg semakin berleluasa. Malah penyelewengan yg amat jijik juga kelihatan tanpa apa-apa tindakan dapat diambil, kerana sistem/dasar sekolah yg amat luput telah dipakai sekian 22tahun yg lalu.
    Bilik sekolah semakin usang walaupun terus dicatkan setiap tahun, kerana anai-anai yg lama menetap di papan mula membangkit. Tuggul jagung berkembar gergasi semakin malap kerana pancaran matahari yg terik sekian lama. Daun pokok bertukar kuning kerana akar yg longgar disebabkan baja kimia yg dipakai sekian lama.
    Dengan MUDAH sekali, pengetua mengecam pewarisnya dengan alasan kelemahan dalam aspek kepimpinannya. Pewaris digullingkan dan seorang yg baru dilantik, malah timbul juga hasrat untuk satu jawatan baru sebagai penasihat sekolah.
    Pertanyaan dari kalangan masyarakat kepada pengetua yg dikasihi tersebut:
    (1) Kenapakah usaha 22 tahun yg begitu lama boleh dicerobohkan semudah itu oleh pewarisnya dalam masa 5 tahun yg singkat? Apakah puncanya?
    (2) Kenapakah pelbagai dasar yg luput diperkenalkan selama pentadbiran 22 tahun yg lalu, sehingga dasar tersebut dapat dipergunakan oleh pewarisnya untuk penyelewengan?
    (3) Kenapakah nasib sekolah digantungkan kepada PERSEORANGAN dan bukannya kepada SISTEM yg teguh? Ini jelas dapat dilihat apabila terdapat kelemahan pada pewarisnya, pengendalian pentadbiran tergendala. Manuasia tidak boleh panjang umur, sekiranya pemimpin yg berkaliber meninggal, nasib sekolah tergendala?
    (4) Kenapakah terlalu ambil berat pada kecantikkan luar dan bukannya kecantikan dalam? Sekiranya pada pentadbiran 22 tahun yg lalu, dasar teguh diperkenalkan, cikgu dan murid dididik dengan minda yg betul, walaupun pewaris sejahat mana, mereka masih mampu menghadapinya. Ini jelas dilihat apabila cikgu yg cium-cium tangan pengetua dahulu, bertukar pendirian dan mengecam pengetua selepas beliau bersara.
    Pengetua kini kembali untuk berkuasa, apabila ditanya bagaimanakah beliau mampu mengharungi ribut yg bakal melanda … Tanpa hirauan, pengetua terus mengecat bilik darjah dengan cat yg lebih tebal, agar sarang anai-anai dapat ditutup. Payung dipasang pada tuggul jagung kembar gergasi agar ia boleh bertahan. Baja kimia yg lebih banyak ditaburkan pada pokok agar daun kembali kehijauan …
    Apabila ditanya adakah kaedah sedemikian mampu membantu untuk mengharungi ribut yg bakal melanda … dengan senyuman dan sindiran seperti 22 tahun yg lalu, pengetua berkata sedemikian … “SEKOLAH INI BUKAN SEKOLAH AMERIKA, KITA BELUM BERSEDIA LAGI” …

  87. @sdahenan,
    Tiada gunanya saya teruskan berbahas dengan orang yang hanya reti mencaci dan bercakap kosong tanpa bukti. Jika anda ingin teruskan maki hamun sampai meleleh air liur, silakanlah. Tetapi sayangnya sekadar itu tidak akan dapat memadamkan kenyataan tentang sifat hipokrit Mahathir yang memang diketahui umum.
    @ jitajamil,
    The fact that money is paid to the government means the government is obliged to provide a level of administrative services competent enough to justify the money they demand for it. If Malaysia owes us nothing, then by the same logic WE also owe Malaysia NOTHING. Those who pay taxes are entitled to demand good governance; this is a simple fact. You can try to belittle those who pay taxes, but if what they pay is really that insignificant, then appeal to your lawmakers to waive the taxes for us. Let’s put your words to the test, and see how well the country performs without these “insignificant” taxes.
    As for your comment that we shouldn’t compare Malaysia to Singapore which is the size of Melaka, you are absolutely correct. We’re not even in the same league. Given our population, territory, and natural resources, comparing us to Singapore is like having a race between a healthy young man and an old cripple on crutches. Yet we ARE reduced to this comparison – because the old cripple with crutches somehow beat the healthy young man.
    Terbaca antara komen disini ada saudara yang berpendapat bahawa Singapure semuanya bagus, tetapi sayangnya politik dikuasai orang Cina. Padahal sebenarnya Singapura semuanya bagus MEMANG KERANA politiknya dikuasai orang Cina dan bukannya UMNOputra yang korup dan rasis.

  88. Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
    To pakbelalang
    kau kerja fulltime ke kritik kat sini.Aku tengok banyak betul kau punya posting.Memang tak salah tapi kalau sampai 10 sekali harung wah..agak2 la ye
    To jjj
    on comment by mohd sivakumar,
    setengah org tu memang tak sedar diri,walaupun hidup mewah hasil dasar2 pemerintah,termasuk DEB masih menghina,komplen macam selamtkan anjing tersepit,digigitnya balik tangan kita..cuba2 la faham maksud ‘di mana bumi dipijak di situ langit dijunjung’
    To anthony barcott,neil,mohd sivakumar,solcroft dan species yg sewaktu dengannya,aku ada story untuk korang:
    Benda ni jadi kat South Afrika masa zaman apartheid.Sorang lelaki negro mengamuk tak nak duduk kerusi belakang bas sebab sebelah depan dikhaskan untuk kulit putih.Mendengar kekecohan,pemandu yg berkulit putih pun berhentikan bas dan bagi sikit ‘syarahan’,katanya:
    “My dear brothers,we are all Adam’s son,why are we fighting because of skin colour?We should live in love and harmony”
    Mendengar kenyataan ini semua penumpang pun gumbira,akhirnya ada manusia yang berfikiran terbuka untuk menyatukan mereka,katanya lagi:
    “Now listen to me carefully.From today onwards no more whites,no more blacks,we’re all same,we’re all BLUE.To makes things easy,i’ll decide your seating.NAVY BLUE please sit behind,SKY BLUE sit infront”
    Moral of the story?Equality,justice,race are only look nice in fairy tales or movies.In real life we have to do AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!
    Wassalam

  89. Kita patut berterima kasih kerna Tun sudi berkongsi .pendapat dan fakta dalam blog ni. ada tak sebelum ni wakil rakyar kita berinteraksi begini ..semoga ini sebagai permulaan .. jadi kan ia manfaat buat semua khas nya golongan rakyat.
    tak payah lah kutuk mengutuk .. sekadar berkongsi pendapat .. jagalah budi bahasa . kita rakyat Malaysia walau apa pun fahaman politik .. jgn lupa bumi mana kita berpijak.

  90. [SIZE=”4″][COLOR=”Red”][B]ketaksuban orang yang tidak cukup ilmu atau berlagak sudah pandai segalanya…boleh membawa kepada kesesatan yang nyata….maka pengikut al-arqam adalah contohnya…. ustaz ashaari sendiri dulu pernah mengadakah muhabalah minta petunjuk dari tuhan…malah doa muhabalahnya disalin dan diedar seluruh negara….ketika berkrisis dengan jakim dan kerajaan…..namun Allah telah memberikan jawabannya….al-arqam diharamkan…dan ashaari sendiri ditimpa stroke dan lumpuh…. namun dr mahathir yang dianggap jahil itu masih sihat dan dia tidak jatuh…tapi beri laluan pada paklah….sama juga peristiwa sembahyang hajat beramai-ramai di stadium 1998…kononnya supaya diturunkan bala bencana kepada si mahafiraun mahathir,kepala dan bapak segala konspirasi…namun Allah memberi jawabannya…tun masih sihat tetapi anwar masuk penjara…
    doa org teraniaya sentiasa makbul…
    jd siapa yang teraniaya dan siapa yg benar???
    maka…
    siapakah pemimpin yang anda ikut???…pemimpin yang dibenci oleh israel-zionis tetapi tidak mampu menggugatnya kerana kebijakan hujahnya
    ataupun pemimpin celaka yang disambut dengan hamparan permaidani merah oleh musuh rasul dan musuh Allah….
    fikir-fikirkanlah sendiri semoga tafakur anda disinari nur hidayah dariNya….
    salah satu tanda-tanda orang yang beroleh rahmat Allah ialah orang yang diberi panjang umur,sihat tubuh badan,tenang wajahnya,kuat ingatannya,sentiasa cenderung kepada kebajikan,tidak tamak haloba kepada pangkat kebesaran,bila jadi pemimpin ..sanggup pula turun dari kerusi yang empuk memberi laluan kepada orang lain…[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE]

    terima kasih… point anda berjaya membuatkan Fanatik Anwar kelu seribu bahasa tak termampu nk menjawab atau menangkisnya… tepat kena tang batang hidung sendiri…

  91. Salam Tun,
    Next time Tun dont bother to accept interview by BBC(Bohong bohong Corp) or CNN(Corrupt news network!). They just trying to set you up to embarrass you world wide with their twisted questionaires. I saw you interview last time when you were the PM with BBC, it was so clearly they couldnt accept your answers because they wanted you to say otherwise. In their books, DSAI is their blue eye boy they prefer to be the PM as he has a lot of connections with the West and love to please them.
    Nowadays there a lot of Trojan Horses in among us, working in cohort with the west to achieve their agendas. It is very sad, these people cant see beyond their interests and cause a lot of problems in this country. Some of them already become filthy rich and start to forget their roots and become arrogant. They even have the cheek to call for total abolishment of Malays’ Rights, NEP,Ketuanan Melayu and ISA. I wonder whether they got there on their own or with the government’s help
    These people need to remember, for every one of them, there fifty Malays who need help to become successful.
    Jangan lupa diri bila sudah berjaya is my message to these lost souls.
    Tun, i agree with the incinerator, while at it we should use them to produce electricity also.
    Salam

  92. Dear Tun,
    I was wondering why America support Obama until I read this website:
    http://www.barackobama.com/issues/ethics/
    Key Summary:
    1. Barack Obama will centralize ethics and lobbying information for voters: Obama and Biden will create a centralized Internet database of lobbying reports, ethics records, and campaign finance filings.
    2. Require independent monitoring of lobbying laws and ethics rules:
    Obama and Biden will fight for an independent watchdog agency to oversee the investigation of congressional ethics violations.
    3. Close the revolving door on former and future employers:
    No political appointees in an Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years. And no political appointee will be able to lobby the executive branch after leaving government service during the remainder of the administration.
    Malaysian statesmen lament about money politics everyday. If Premier implement ethics standard as Obama, Malaysia GDP will soar.

  93. Yg Berbhgia Tun,
    Saya berharap Tun dan isteri sihat selalu.
    Tentang komen, Tun tak boleh expect orang yang komen apa yang Tun tulis bawa fakta fakta sebab komen di laman blog bukan macam kes di mahkamah. Pembaca yang akan menilai. Tetapi lain lah dengan Tun, apa yang Tun utarakan mesti ada fakta dan alasan yang kuat untuk menyokong. Tulisan Tun ada impak yang besar. Komen dan tulisan kami macam angin yang lalu je.
    Dengan bersandarkan jasa yang amat banyak, idea-idea yang bernas dan fakta fakta dari segi pengalaman melihat negara negara lain, tidak bermakna kami semua kena sokong apa saja yang Tun tulis.
    Contohnya, ‘serangan’ Tun terhadap Pak Lah kadangkala melampau. Dia tu Perdana Menteri. Kalau tak betul tegurlah baik baik. Kalau ada yang tersimpan dalam hati,jumpalah dia bincang elok elok. Jadi kita tidak boleh mendabik dada dengan jasa jasa dan kemajuan yang banyak telah Tun buat sebagai ‘lesen untuk membelasah’ Pak Lah.
    Tambahan pula dengan jumlah pencalonan anak Tun, Mukhriz berbanding menantu Pak Lah, Khairy, jangan pulak jadi lebih sombong untuk membelasah Pak Lah. Belum menang lagi, apa-apa boleh jadi bulan Mac nanti.
    Bukan saya ni penyokong Pak Lah, cuma kesian tengok cara Tun belasah,sindir,kritik dan macam macam riak wajah Tun dalam banyak majlis ceramah dan sebagainya. Apa kata sekali sekala Tun contohi isteri Tun, Tun Dr Hasmah yang tak banyak cakap tapi banyak senyum.
    Kalau saya jadi Tun, dari pergi ceramah ceramah yang rata rata hadirinnya hanya nak dengar kutukan dan kritikan Tun terhadap Pak Lah, baik luangkan masa dengan cucu cucu Tun yang tentunya seronok dengar cerita dan pengalaman datok mereka sebagai Perdana Menteri. Pada saya, Tun lebih digunakan oleh orang orang yang menjemput Tun untuk mempopularkan mereka.
    Tun digunakan untuk ‘membuli’ Pak Lah macam di sekolah kita gunakan seorang yang berpengaruh untuk buli budak hingusan.
    Saya amat menyanjung Tun. Tapi Tun kurangkanlah sikit kutuk kutuk ni semua. Jangan jadi Mat Sabu.
    Maafkan saya kalau menulis sesuatu yang mengguris perasaan Tun. Saya amat menghormati Tun selama ini dan kesian tengok Tun dipergunakan oleh sesetengah pihak.
    Kita perlu bagi pendapat tapi bukan terlalu kerap hingga kita berlagak seolah-olah dah ‘nyanyuk’.

  94. To Anthony Barcott,
    Tun Mahathir has transformed Malaysia into heavenly place to live (for animals)? I am not sure and i dont care where do u live but am sure we proud to be malaysians and live in malaysia, a beautiful place for human and animals alike.

  95. Salam Tun,
    I have no objection against the rubbish idea. I will find articles or any means to understand the idea before makes my comment.
    The government needs to be more transparent in the sense of cascalating the idea especially to rural area. Mix media is imperative and helps to channel the intention. Broga, Selangor is a good case study.
    TV and newsprint will always be a key tools to disseminate information. Having an advertorial is not enough, please spend a little bit for TV production and make a good one to people.

  96. The proposed Japanese high-tech incinerator some years ago is too expensive. I believe the project was cancelled due to cost, not the location.
    We can source much cheaper high-tech incinerator from US or Europe, and be able to get cheaper price through international tender.
    I suggest we install incinerator in Putrajaya as a showpiece to rakyat that rubbish incinerator is clean and safe. 🙂

  97. Dear Tun
    Hmm… interesting isn’t, journalist ‘unintentionally forgot to verify his facts’. Everyone in the world knows that Tun against the IMF, which leads to (rumors says) the fallout of DSAI.
    Funny isn’t and don’t we realise that whenever good proposed, there is always someone out there raises an argument just for the sack of objecting and most posibbly to gain name.
    Even more ironically, there are still and still more & more people believes them unconditionally.
    Anyway my concern is, we may and have great workable ideas, but the committee who discuss & debated and evalutes always gets the wrong contractor for the job. There are so many incidents. New hospital with cracks, leaks, new government building always has such problem. WHY! Proofs is everywhere. Kerja setengah masak.
    So great ideas, but bad executioning causes people not to trust the government.
    Cheers Tun

  98. Two wrongs are not equal to a right.
    US financial bailout with taxpayers’ money to rescue greedy businessmen is a fallacy in the free market system. In the same token, Malaysian 98’s bailout plan by Dr. Mahathir was also wrong.
    Dr. Mahathir is implied that he was right (while Anwar was wrong) because America also doing same thing now.
    The fact is South Korea followed IMF policy 100% did not make them more weaker than Malaysia.

  99. Salam Ayahanda Tun. Najib had chosen to play it safe by not acquiring the EC725 Cougars and at the same flip of the same coin, putting RMAF lives at risk just for the sake of his political image. The PAC explanation by Azmi Khalid was vague at best and I do not think the Padang Besar hailed Datuk Seri even knows what he is talking about

  100. Dearest Tun,
    A Chinese staff just came back from a week’s leave to Shanghai, China. Mukanya berkerut menceritakan betapa tak selesa dia di sana, kotor, orang tak friendly, dan macam-macam artificial. Dia tak sabar nak balik dan menyatakan, nothing like Malaysia, her home.
    Just to share.
    Salam.

    SAMPAH yg timbul pada hari ini, bukan sekadar muncul TIBA_TIBA sahaja … SAMPAH ini menjadi semakin banyak dan dilonggok-longokkan sejak 22 TAHUN yg lalu sehingga hari ini
    Pakpandir oi! Kita berbicara tentang cara pelupusan sisa2 sampah. Saya yakin TUN ikhlas membicarakan tentang isu ini.
    Tapi awak pula cuba mengaitkan dan memesungkan dan menyindir sinis TUN.
    Awak lah jenis contoh sisa sampah rakyat yang sesuai di masukan kedalam incinerator untuk dilupuskan. Kerana kalau dibiarkan berluasa kat luar akan membahayakan orang awam lain kerana saya lihat awak ada penyakit sawan otak. Penyakit yang tidak membolih kan awak membuat penilaian akan sesuatu perkara dengan lebih tepat.
    Dan awak tidak gunakan otak untuk berfikir tapi ikut perasaan hati, maka lama kelamaan terjadi lah penyakit HATI sakit dan sentiasa tak puas hati kat kelebihan dan pencapaian orang lain. Kerana dah kena sakit BUSUK HATI, Maka fikiranpun jadilah tak waras. Maka jadilah awak seorang yang BODOH.Dan amat sesuai lah diberi nama pakpandir.
    Orang jenis pakpandir ni lah yang telah membuat sampah sejak 22 tahun la

  102. Salam Tun
    saya & keluarga sekarang tinggal di UK and we are taxpayers who make income tax and council tax contribution. walaupun kena bayar tax banyak, we do applaud the way the city council is handling the waste management. there’s hardly any smell from the garbage trucks. allow me to make some correction about the rubbish bins. each household is provided with 3 bins, one each for domestic waste (perishable), garden waste (for compost) and recycleables (which exclude bottles). we have to throw bottles and jars in the bottlebanks. the people do them diligently. they even provide different bins at school to encourage the kids to recycle and at home, our daughter knows where to throw what. to reduce the use of plastic bags, supermarkets encourage the use of ‘bag for life’, some charge the customers for plastic bags or reward points for using own shopping bags. we have to change our mindset tapi berpada-pada lah. apa yang elok buat tauladan, yang buruk buat sempadan.

  103. As’salamualaikum Ayahanda Tun..
    SOLCROFT-SOLCROFT-SOLCROFT.. Aku tak kisah la kalau kau tak setuju dengan pendapat Tun tapi janganlah terlampau kurang ajar sangat dengan Tun dengan kata Tun tua nyanyuk.. Kesian mak bapak kau melahirkan dan membesarkan anak tak guna satu sen pun macam kau ni.. Mak bapak kau tak bagi didikan agama ke kat engkau.. Kau ni langsung tak ada adab sopan ke bila nak tegur orang.. Kau ingat dengan cara kau ni boleh jadi glamour ke dalam blog Tun ni.. Kau ni tak tau malu ke.. Anak bini kau tu dah betul sangat ke kau didik sampai kau rasa Tun perlu pada nasihat dan kritikan bodoh sombong kau tu.. Kau pun besok tua jugak.. Jangan sampai kau pulak nyanyuk terlebih sampai makan tahi sendiri nanti.. Anak cucu kau sendiri pun geli nak dekat dengan kau..

  104. Dear Tun,
    Malay Supremacy Concept Enriches Only Certain Groups Of Malay – Anwar
    IPOH, Nov 3 (Bernama) — The “ketuanan Melayu” or Malay supremacy concept as advocated by certain groups, benefits and enriches only a small group of Malays, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) advisor Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
    “I believe that the Malays and Bumiputeras should not be sidelined,” he said.
    “We should do all we can to help them together with the Chinese and Indians,” Anwar told reporters after a talk at the Bangunan Darul Ridzuan today.
    He said, however, that fighting for Malay supremacy to enrich a small number of Malays while a larger section of the community were still in deplorable condition, was unacceptable.
    comment:
    Who is talking? An AUTAMAN with no principle and no credibility. A flip, flop,flup conman of the first order. Talking rubbish !!
    Please lah, Anwar. We have had enough of your “cheap sales talk” !!Please don’t lower our intelligence by making us dah bodoh stupid. Go away !!!

  105. To pakbelalang
    What an idiotic comment about Mr Lim Kit Siang’s comment on the Nuri Heli. For your information, the Eurocopters Malaysia are buying are 40 years old and that was why Mr KS Lim posted that very valid question to the bunch of sleepy heads in the Ministry of Defence. Malaysia needs people like Mr Lim to maintain check and balance on the government.
    Pakbelalang, I expect Malaysian like you to be a bit updated and intelligent next time, can you?

  106. Assalamualaikum dan Maaf Tun, lari dari tajuk tetapi ini adalah perkara yang perlu disegerakan.
    Tidak apalah Tun di luar UMNO tetapi tolonglah nasihat sama ada melalui blog ini atau ucapan bagaimana mahu mengatasi masalah yang masih berlarutan di bahagian-bahagian.
    Ketika sebahagian besar Ketua-Ketua Bahagian UMNO sedang bergembira dan mengucapkan tahniah kerana Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak memenangi pemilihan untuk jawatan Presiden UMNO tanpa bertanding, banyak juga pemimpin bahagian yang sedang

  107. Akum,
    Tun
    Saya nak bagi idea.
    Kalau orang Malaysia yang dah besar2 susah diasuh.
    Tentang nak mengurus bahan buangan dari rumah.
    Yang satu hari nanti pasti akan jadi masalah besar untuk negara.
    Apa kata kita didik anak2 yang kat sekolah supaya lebih faham dan membantu negara.
    Lagipun mereka yg menjadi kesinambungan generasi.
    Dekat sekolah diadakan pusat membeli bahan buangan.
    Bagi ganjaran yg lumayan dari sampah yang dibawa pelajar.
    Macam plastik, tin, kotak/kertas.
    Boleh tambah duit poket they all.
    Bila parent tengok anak2 seronok kumpul sampah kat rumah bawa kat sekolah.
    At the same time, the children educate parent they all.
    Nampak macam kartun jer kan idea sy ni.
    Tapi mana tahu, kalau mencuba menjadi.

  108. PAK PANDIR! NAMA SAMARAN, MUNGKIN PERANGAI PUN MACAM PAK PANDIR CERITA PANGLIPURLARA ZAMAN DULU-DULU.TULIS MERAPU MACAM ORANG SAKIT JIWA.
    SUKA MENONTON CERITA HARRY PORTER MUNGKIN SUKA BERIMIGINASI.SAYA SARANKAN AWAK PERGI MAIN JAUH-JAUH DENGAN BUDAK BAWAH UMUR YANG TAK MATANG AKAL FIKIRAN.DUMB…….

  109. Akum,
    Tun
    Saya kumpul plastik. Cukup satu karung jual.
    Boleh dapat RM5.Tin pun kumpul juga.
    Sekarang kalau tolak kat kedai India banyak gak boleh dapat.
    Jadi macam seronok juga.Bila sampah bertukar jadi duit.
    Cuma sampah makanan jer yg susah sikit.
    Nak bela ayam mak tak kasi.
    Takut lalat kacau jiran.
    Boleh ler ayam tu makan makanan yg berlebihan.
    Sedih kalau membazir makanan ni.
    Untung2 boleh makan ayam tu balik.
    Tak pun jual.
    Sy pernah hantar artikel kat surat khabar pasal sampah.
    Nampak ada perubahan gak.
    Tapi more on leachet from rubbish that effect water supply.
    So water pipe, banyak yg upgrade dah.
    Include yg kat kampung perumahan saya ni.
    Tapi pasal pengurusan sampah ni.
    Memang slow.
    Kesedaran rakyat pasal kebersihan ni memang kureng sangat2.
    UiTM graduate,
    Engineer

  110. YABhg Tun,
    Saya setuju dengan apa yang Tun sebutkan. Masalah dengan sebahagian kita ialah personality assassination. Kita lebih berminat membuat tuduhan tanpa mengemukakan hujah yang kukuh. Saya fikir ini tidak baik untuk politik Malaysia. Biarlah hujah lawan hujah. Apapun, teruskan perjuangan Tun yang belum selesai. Saya mendoakan kebaikan untuk Tun.

  111. Salam sejahtera Tun,
    Incinerator…Sampah bukanlah perkara yang baru wujud 22 tahun pemerintahan Tun.Kita semua buat sampah,di kampung sampah ditanam,itupun jika rajin.Di bandar dan kaw perumahan tak boleh tanam,tak boleh bakar.Akhirnya dibuang ke dalam sungai jika tak sesuai untuk masuk tong sampah.Kadangkala dilonggokkan di tepi jalan saja.Banyak cara kita boleh gunakan untuk mengatasi masalah pelupusan sampah di negara kita,Adakah rakyat negara kita sanggup dan sudah bersedia untuk menerima incinerator sebagai penyelesaian?Kerajaan ketika zaman Tun sudah memulakan langkah awal dengan memperkenalkan kitar semula.Waktu itu negara2 barat sudah lama mengamalkannya berbanding negara kita yang baru menghadapi masalah ini.Malangnya langkah seterusnya tidak dilakukan.Sekarang ianya seakan2 mulai dilupakan.Saya fikir kerajaan sekarang perlu memperbaiki kelemahan sistem tersebut sesuai dengan keperluan sekarang,selain memberi peluang rakyat cari duit drpd akhbar lama,tin,botol plastik.Kerajaan perlu memulakannya sebagai contoh dan beri tempoh kepada kilang-kilang untuk mewujudkan kemudahan ini di premis masing2.Tak tahulah kalau pemiliknya takut menanggung kos.Selepas itu barulah diperluaskan kepada kediaman.Yang penting,kesungguhan pihak bertanggungjawab dalam menguatkuasakan undang2 tersebut secara menyeluruh.Kena bayar parking kereta 30 sen sejam pun kita marah,adakah kita semua sudah bersedia??Pendapat saya,mahu tidak mahu kita mesti positif dan jangan fikirkan takut rugi saja.Pertimbangkan keselesaan generasi akan datang.
    Saya percaya Tun pernah mempertimbangkannya tetapi banyak keutamaan lain yang harus didahulukan terutama sekali membina jati diri bangsa ketika itu termasuklah membangunkan negara secara fizikal.
    Semoga Tun terus diberi ruang berkhidmat utk negara dgn cara Tun tersendiri itu.

  112. Dear Tun,
    On the statement by DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang questioning the rationale for the new helicopters when the Nuri could still be upgraded, Azmi said that bigger expenses would be needed to upgrade the ageing aircraft.
    comment:
    What an idiotic question made by Lim Kit Siang to upgrade the Nuri when the holicopters are already ageing and had taken the lives of almost 100 personnel. We can safely say Lim Kit Siang also resembles the Nuri helicopters. An ageing MP !!! I wonder whether he could be “upgraded” like the Nuri helicopter!!! kah, kah, kah !!

  113. SALAM SEJAHTERA TUN.

  114. Well Mr Freeman, I’m no big in debate but well awake to read your funny and unintelligent writing.

  115. Salam Tun..
    I still remember when you call DSAB Mr Clean..
    You were right..
    He sweep everthing under carpet..
    DSAI also Mr Clean but don’t forget to add 1 more word.. tong.
    Everywhere he go, he likes to clean tong (kelentong) people.
    Both of them from PENANG.
    ****LOKLAK betui depa tu****

  116. Dear Tun,
    Prevention is better than cure. There is limit to freedom of expression in a multi racial country. There is a need to restraint oneself from going overboard when commenting something that could affect the sensitivity of different races.
    Those who are being irresponsible by continueing to harp and instigate others must be separated from our multi racial society and send to detention camp. Make no mistake about it. ISA must stay! No question about it. Even if this country were to be controlled by PR there is no chance they will ever remove the ISA. I bet you !!

  117. Salam Bahagia kepada Tun Sekeluarga,
    If i were to be asked what is the things that i admire the most about you , Tun is your capability to think ahead and anticipate the bad things before it happened and offer solutions. It may not be a correct one but at least you put malaysia agenda first. I must sayyou never stop to amaze me with your forward thinkingtill today. No one cant take itbaway from you not even ‘pembelot’ Anwar.
    Tun let him claim nobody will believe anyway especially those who gone through your era. This also prove that silently Anwar and his supporter knew and aware that yr remedy for the economy crisis then is very correct for Malaysia.
    TQ

  118. Dear Tun dan sekalian bloggers,
    As now i’m in Glasgow pursuing my study, a lot of things I have observed. The city council of Glasgow is quite effective, in terms of implementation of rules and maintenance of facilities. Especially when it comes to fly tipping and recycling items. We were not aware that all domestic rubbish must be put in a black plastic bin, before it can be put inside the black bin behind the flat. What happened is, I put some of the rubbish inside a supermarket clear plastic bag, and happily put inside the black bin. 3 days later, I got a first warning for a penalty letter, because the rules of dumping rubbish is not followed.The fine is £50, and now the city council is putting their attention on my bin to make sure i don’t repeat the mistake.
    Every tuesday, is the day for collection of bulk recycle item. Example, broken electrical stuff, broken furniture, or any other unwanted item. You can only put the item in front of your flat on tuesday only, if not you’ll be fine. And if the city council does not pick up these items on tuesday, the resident can put up a complaint and report to the higher authority of the council.
    There are 3 recycling box for each flat. We are not allowed to put our rubbish in other people’s bin, if we are reported to, the city council will investigate.
    The people here abide so much to the rules because their city council is very effective, they really follow rules by heart, and the penalty is huge! In the area of my faculty, if you don’t pick up your dogs’ poo, you’ll be fine £500!
    In Malaysia, we have rules regarding almost everything. But no body cares. And of course, our city council is very busy with other stuff. In other words, incompetence!
    How to improve our Malaysian to be more civic minded?
    -Effective implementation of existing rules by the authority body
    (Majlis perbandaran)
    -Huge penalty for those who doesn’t abide to rules.
    -Tremendous increase in efficiency of the city council
    How to improve the City Council?
    -well, you let me know…x=>
    Salam sayang to Tun..

  119. Salam Tun…
    Quote ;
    “Yes, Mahathir is the best and no one can criticise him. He was such a wonderful leader that transform Malaysia into such a lovely place to live (for animals)”..(Anthony barcott)
    Yes isn’t he? Much Thanks for the praise though. A.Barcott has been both generous and courteous. No one is denying that Tun Mahathir hasn’t had his fair share of criticism for his policies over the years. Who hasn’t? But speaking for myself and those who agree with me, his allegiance to his country and his contributions to the nation outweighs all those negative aspects. Simply put, he is our hero.I would not even attempt to get too personal with Tun over this. Let him speak for himself.
    Indeed Malaysia is still a beautiful place to live in too don’t you agree? Although sadly we do urgently need to safely dump all the rubbish and continue with the recycling efforts at all costs. No other country would export or dump their rubbish to another country. My country produces enough rubbish of our own already.
    But somehow Mr Barcott irks my ire for tainting my beautiful country that it is a place fit for animals to live. Do you really believe that or the devil made you said that? In another country there will already be an attempt to shoot you down for saying derogatory remarks like that. I can assure you I wouldn’t feel the slightest bit sorry for you.
    Salam sejahtera Tun.

  120. It is bloody dangerous having “rubbish” – solid waste in parliment playing around with tax payers money when the full tide of the economic meltdown is yet to hit the shores of country. We are experiencing a brief influx of economic growth of 5.7%. This is exactly when the sea retreats back out, and when the problem seems no where in sight, the humongous wave will hit the shores of the nation. Few will stand to live another day.

  121. salam tun~
    I know who is the rubbish….
    all those who come here and write negative things to you without example/they are the rubbish dont they…haHaha

    SAMPAH yg timbul pada hari ini, bukan sekadar muncul TIBA_TIBA sahaja … SAMPAH ini menjadi semakin banyak dan dilonggok-longokkan sejak 22 TAHUN yg lalu sehingga hari ini …
    Seorang datuk yg bertanggugngjawab, tidak akan semata-mata mengecam cucu-cicitnya kerana sampah yg begitu banyak didapati pada zaman cucunya … kerana datuk ketahui bahawa sampah yg banyak itu dilongokkan sejak zamannya …
    Pada hari ini, masa hadapan malaysia menjadi semakin pudar, kerana pembuang sampah gergasi pada masa 22 tahun yg lalu, nampaknya akan muncul semula untuk mengotori negara ini … Kalaulah saudara pernah membaca cerita Harry Porter … terdapat satu episod cerita … dimana “the Minister of Magic trying to covered the news of Voldermort return to the land” … zaman Voldermort akan muncul sekali lagi …
    ——————————————————————–
    satu contoh sampah yg gagal dibersihkan, disebabkan pemikirannya penuh dgn sampah sarap yg gagal dibuang scara teratur dan gagal dibersihkan dgn betul menyebabkan dirinya tak dpt mghirup udara sgar dan melihat pemandangan yg indah akibat sampah yg makin berlonggok dlm dirinya. maka itulah ayat2nya penuh dgn sampah sarap.
    dahulunya dibwh Tun sampah2 yg ada skrg ni masih dpt dikawal dr berlonggok dan disapu sikit2 spya tak menyemak dan menyusahkan hidup rakyat. Malangnya apabila sampah pulak yg ambil alih maka idea2 sampahnya mengakibatkan berlambak2 sampah itu sampai tak mampu nak disapu lagi. sebaliknya yg disapu bersih adalah wang rakyat.

  123. Assalamu ‘alaikum Pembuka bicara
    buat Tun berdua dan pembaca semua
    Tulisan ku ini ku coretkan juga
    Buat renungan kita semua.
    Tanah bertuah Malaysia namanya
    Sederhana besar, tak kurang orangnya
    Tampak aman dan makmur seketika
    Sebelum badai datang melanda.
    Bukan angkara Inggeris Belanda
    Tidak juga Jepun seAsia
    Api dinyala makin membara
    Durjana tangan si anak bangsa.
    Cucu cicitku dengarkan ninda
    Jangan hatimu berduka nestapa
    Terimalah nasihat orang tua tua
    Malaysia hanya kan rosak dek Malaysia juga.
    Datok nenek yang terdahulu
    India CIna dan Melayu
    Berjanji hidup bersatu padu
    Supaya bersama aman maju
    Tapi durjana tangan sendiri
    Anak Malaysia bermain api
    Dibakar habis hati sanubari
    Bermulalah kisah menyayat hati.
    Dengar cucuku ninda pesankan
    Jangan ikut hasutan syaitan
    Melaga-laga kawan rakan
    hingga berkelahi tak lagi sehaluan.
    Alangkah sedih rasa dihati
    Malaysiaku hancur dek tangan sendiri
    Tapi cucuku janganlah berhenti
    Bangunkan kembali MAlaysia pertiwi.
    Semoga cucuku ambil ingatan
    Tanah air adalah watan
    Hembuskan kembali semangat di badan
    Ayuh atur langkah kedepan.
    Wahai saudaraku sebangsa Malaysia
    Sayangkah anda kepada kita?
    Jika jawapan berbunyi ‘iya’
    MAka hentilah segala sengketa.
    Ayuhlah kita berganding bahu
    Baik India Cina Melayu
    Andai di hati kita setuju
    Bahawa Malaysia patut dahulu.
    Semoga kita tunjukkan jalan
    Sebagai ‘rang tua yang bijaksana
    Untuk jadi contoh tauladan
    Kepada cucu kita semua.
    Malaysia Tanah Air bertuah
    Jangan dihancur masa depannya
    Bak kata keramat Datok Hang Tuah
    Takkan ‘Malaysia’ hilang didunia!!!!!
    Salam sayang Tun dan semua
    Tulisan ku ini berlainan nadanya
    Tapi tagline akhir tetap sama
    Jaga diri Jaga Solat, adanya…. 🙂

  124. Tun
    while I await your reply to see if you will be open to a debate, I would also like to ask is there a reason you still have not written/commented about
    1/ why you think Mukhriz is qualified to become the next UMNO Youth President?
    2/ why should Mukhriz not debate Khir Toyo and Khairy in an open forum?
    Look forward to your views sir
    (Ravi)

  125. I appreciate your ideas on how to handle “Rubbish” in this country.
    However, I definitely see more “Rubbish” in Parliment compared to anywhere else. If the Parliment is so dirty, how can you expect ordinary streets to be clean?????

  126. SALAM AYAYANDA RAKYAT TUN,
    IZINKAN,
    I missed another one.
    Syed Hamid should be sent to Guantanamo Bay without trial to spend the rest of his life because he loves detention with all his heart, mind, and soul.
    I missed yet another one,
    Crazyidiot and the likes should be sent the Dumps Bay without delay to spend the rest of their lives where they can RAP (Roam And Puke) with all their hearts, minds and souls.
    Jangan marah ye? We missed ‘pulling’ your legs.. he he!
    WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.

  127. Tun
    Some very shocking news – Our universities are now ranked out of 250 based on the Times Higher Education Supplement

  128. Dear Tun,
    Read too many negative comments.Not too good before dinner.Sudah lah –call it a day!!.The more negative input I read the more I get fed-up.Entah lah.So Tun if you really care for all M’sians & sincerely want to help all, continue to make positive input.Good & helpful comments that are good for nation will benefit all –rich & poor.
    Bersama2 berjuang untok perubahan yang boleh membawa manfaat untok semua rakyat tak kira bangsa.

  129. Dearest Tun –
    For one who that has lived through the different periods of this wonderous country history [I say wonderous – if there is such a word – it is becuase Malaysia is truly wonderous as compared to other nation that started on much better footing than us within the region and even in other continents], if you could spare some of your valuable time, could you possibly share a glimpse of your understanding and insights on the meaning of “KETUANAN MELAYU” – the babble of goose and geese from your former party seems to be describing what the blind can only guess, as to what an elephant looks like to the meaning of “KETUANAN MELAYU”. and at times agrees to contradict one another.
    For one, is it a concept borne by the eminent minds of the former leaders within UMNO or it is just part of an utopian vision of the bric and brac of Jawa, Banjar, Acheh, Bugis, Minang, Petani that makes up the Malay Race. As a new born, the 400years of recorded malay history book does not tell me much of the ideals, diplomacy, and others that describes the Malay civilisation. It would be great to hear your thoughts and writings maybe over a series of online lectures and sharing session, without too much of the emotive words partly being used by the current UMNO so called leaders be it young or the older leaders.
    You have taken times and pains to describe in the Malay Dillema maybe then as a wake call or just to give a common footing and understanding to describe the easy going life of the ordinary Malay, who very much prefer to address the Orang Putih as Tuan.
    The surviving eminent Malay scholars that are still around seems to be at a lost even to properly describe even the literal meaning of the 2 words and don’t seem to even want to take ownership of what could be transcribe from the “soul” of the Federated Malay Constitution – Malaysia is afterall a word to describe the Federated Malay States located of the Malay Peninsular.
    Maybe such a project – [I dsilike to use the word project, as to the UMNO Malay it may just mean how to make money], could be given to the newly created Malay Chair in one or two of the Malay University or be part of the continued funded research of various Foundation set up in so many of the GLCs.
    The other old PMs are now gone except for one or two former DPM – even nowadays there not that many old Sultans – that could take ownership of this project.
    Dear Tun, you may one day very likely leave a lot of money behind but that will only go to those close to you, but the ideals of KETUANAN MELAYU as practiced by the fair and wise sultan of the old and the one malay PM that has made a mark in modern day times will trangress though time and distance as an ever lasting glimmer of light in the many dark hours of this race call Melayu.

  130. I missed another one.
    Syed Hamid should be sent to Guantanamo Bay without trial to spend the rest of his life because he loves detention with all his heart, mind, and soul.

  131. Asalamualaikum wbt,
    Apa khabar Tun yang dihormati..??
    INTERVIEW
    1. I was interviewed by the BBC on the current financial turmoil and over management of the currency crisis in 1997 – 98.
    a)Kadang kala buah fikiran Tun akan di “CLAIM” sebagai sidia yang punya.. ( Tak malu betul orang tu cakap tak serupa bikin, cakap sahaja pandai )
    b)Pendapat saya Kalau tak dipecahkan ruyong (Tradisi Dollar) mana nak dapat sagunya..(Untung/kebaikan)
    c) Pengalaman & sejarah memang banyak membantu.
    COMMENTS
    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    a) Bagi saya mereka itu seumpama “baling batu sembunyi tangan” dan “Kata dulang paku serpih mengata orang awak yang lebih”
    b) Saya harap yang berhormat berhati lapang..terhadap (Comment sempit tersebut)& semoga sihat sentiasa.
    RUBBISH
    1. We are great producers of rubbish – not the verbal kind, although that also – but real solid waste. But we are not keen on their disposal.
    a)Bagus cadangan Tun nie..
    b)Tetapi ada lagi bermacam2 sampah yang susah nak dikikis dari diri manusia
    c)Sungai adalah sumber kehidupan (air) bila tiada sudah pasti semua akan habis. (Fikir2 kanlah) saya suka mandi sungai, sekarang terkena air sungai “badan semua gatal2” SEDIHNYA 🙁
    Sekian,
    Salam Hormat.

  132. Tun Mahathir has taught us that the best brain is judged by skin color, not one’s knowledge, education background nor experience. That’s why we reject talents from the West and other developed countries in Asia but only accepted immigrants from the Middle East and Indonesia. When can Malaysia achieve wawasan 2020? Maybe 2220?

  133. Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga,Assalamualaikum……
    Saya tertarik dengan sindiran pakpandir08 on November 3, 2008 4:29 PM. Nampaknya beliau tidak pernah bersyukur dengan nikmat yg dikecapi. Kalau Ayahanda Tun mempunyai niat tidak baik maka telah lama dia akan menjahanamkan negara kita. Mungkin anda kurang selesa dgn pandangan Ayahanda Tun atau pun anda adalah penulis upahan yang mementingkan wang ringgit. Kalau anda nak gadai bangsa melayu boleh, dgn syarat langkah mayat kami dahulu.
    Ayahanda Tun teruskan perjuangan. Allah bersama mereka yang benar.

  134. Dr M,
    Could you give comment on Human Capital in Malaysia.
    I belive Malaysia are lack in Human Capital, especially at top level of Government.
    Why we as Human are neglect or lazy to think on our own and always seek ready made solution for all our life problem, and we always believe other people especially political leader and we become second hand man.
    It’s something wromg with our education system ?

    Plain simple. Without the kindness of Malays in Malaysia, I don’t think you will be able to survive living in Malaysia.
    Use your brain harder before deciding to comment on anything.
    oh… wake up!! Zul… wake up!!!! Zul… use your brain ok!! dont follow your idol sleeping PM… wake up!!! it is 21st century now… why are you still live in the jungle with your keris and “syok sendiri” claiming malay is the owner of this land.. you are such a joker. sohai indeed!!

  137. SAMPAH yg timbul pada hari ini, bukan sekadar muncul TIBA_TIBA sahaja … SAMPAH ini menjadi semakin banyak dan dilonggok-longokkan sejak 22 TAHUN yg lalu sehingga hari ini …

  138. Dearest Tun…
    You are so right when you said ‘We are great producers of rubbish’ – Specimen 1: Anwar Ibrahim and Specimen 2 : Our MPs. When will they ever learn, these MPs, to speak something (a) of substance (b) things that actually matters and show their intelligence.
    As much as I love your writings, I find the comments given intriguing. Tak abis-abis dengan ‘I am a tax payer’.. macamla depa dok bayar cukai jutaan ringgit. Dibandingkan dengan negara lain, like the UK or Singapore for example, percentage cukai kita antara yang terendah. So, to those yang dok asyik utter ‘I am a tax payer’..get down from your high horse, nak kata their money membayar the development of Malaysia, the answer is NO. So Malaysia owes you nothing. Moreover, these ‘I am a tax payer’ is tiring to hear.
    Kemudian ada lak, some mat salleh (celup rasanya) dok komen-komen about what you have done, which I find rather petty. To those with the list, Anthony Barcot and Joe Brown, when you do comparison, maybe you should compare an apple to an apple. Comparing Malaysia to Singapore (with the size of Melaka) is idiotic… and please, please pray tell, from the long whiny list that you’ve given us, put an answer to your claim. Example ‘No 9. Malaysia has no racial problems.’, can you please let us know one country in the world that is free from racial problems.
    I maybe not a graduate from any universities. I only have tertiary education..but please, when you want to make a claim for something, kindly include an answer with facts. You’re insulting my country and you insulting the people that lives here.

    Sorry Tun lambat sikit, I was trying to enjoy my weekend. But how could anyone enjoy anything nowadays with what is currently going on around us. Sigh…..
    1) Razak Baginda was let off the hook. Dont know whether its good or bad.
    2) Zahid Ibrahim was at it again, like mad man he went beserk. May be he was drunk when he gave that speech.
    3) KJ…, Khir Toyo overtook him and I am sure he will do what a desperado will do and at all cost. We all know what he is capable of, damaging but thinks its okay.
    4) Your critics will always say you are worst. I said that before when comparing between your supporters and those who simply hates you.
    5) There are those who will always compare Malaysia to Singapore. They say Singapore has the best of everything but yet LKY always lamented why tens of thousands of young Singaporeans professional migrated every year to Australia, USA, Canada etc.
    6) If Malaysia is so bad why they bought all those commercial and residential properties. Enough about Singapore, but I believe we need this kind of neighbor. To keep us awake all the time.
    7) Incinerators? Who needs them if its only for future generation. Pak Lah would avoid controversy at all cost. Rest assured that nothing will be done.
    8) Pak Lah will need a small incinerator to get rid of all evidence that can and will be used against him. May be that’s why he need a little bit of time. Hmmmmm….

    Things I would really like to see in Malaysia in near future,
    1) Nuclear Reactor (to generate electricity of course)
    2) Incinerator
    3) Public banned from driving into KL City during peak hour but with a very systematic Park & Ride System.
    4) A new bill on recycle.
    NICE TO NOTE COMMENTS BY ‘SIR T.B’.. WON’T MIND REPEATING.
    WISH TO SEE MORE OF SUCH CONTRIBUTION, SHORT AND POSITIVE”
    ALTHOUGH ‘SAMURAIMELAYU’ MUST ADMIT THAT MOST OF HIS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE IN ‘DEFENSE’ AGAINST THOSE COMMENTORS AS MENTIONED BY AYAHANDA
    SHOGUN;
    1. When I started my blog I expected many criticisms to be levelled at me when I wrote articles against the Government.
    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    3. Clearly the quality of these carping commentors leaves much to be desired.
    WITH THE LOVE OF THE ALMIGHTY, WE LOVE OUR AYAHANDA AND BONDA TUN.
    ALFATIHAH, AMIN.

  143. Yes, Mahathir is the best and no one can criticise him. He was such a wonderful leader that transform Malaysia into such a lovely place to live (for animals).

  144. Salam Tun,
    berkenaan dgn sampah, ia sebenarnya bermula dr rumah kemudian dr sekolah. mungkin ramai dikalangan komentar disini tidak menyedari bhwa budaya membuang sampah merata2 ini juga berpunca dr rumah dan sekolah. budaya tidak menjaga kebersihan ini dan mengharapkan org gaji dan pekerja am utk mengutip sampah yg kanak2 atau pelajar sekolah ini buang telah membentuk pemikiran mereka bhwa akn ada pekerja pengutip sampah yg akn membersihkannya. ini satu budaya buli yg telah dibentuk di rumah dan sekolah, yg memandang rendah tugas mengutip dan membersih sampah yg hanya layak utk mereka yg tak lulus UNIVERSITI.
    pemikiran sebginilah yg telah mjd budaya kbykn rakyat Malaysia hari ini. seharusnya, sekolah bkn sj tempat utk menuntut ilmu tetapi patut mjd tempat utk mendidik akhlak dan budaya kemasyarakatan yg saling tolong menolong dan hormat menghormati. jika berkehendakkan rakyat yg mempunyai pemikiran kelas pertama, kerajaan patut menilai semula sistem pdidikn negara dr segi perlaksanaannya. sbb kbykannya adalah teori semata2 dan pembentukan budaya yg mulia itu tak dipupuk sejak di bangku sekolah lagi.
    rasanya, jika aktiviti pakaian seragam dilaksanakan secara serius dan disiplin yg ada dlm setiap persatuan pakaian seragam itu dipupuk dikalangan pelajar mungkin PLKN tidak diperlukan. Negara terlalu byk menanggung kos utk program sebegini sdgkan asas disiplin dan membina sahsiah remaja boleh dilakukan di sekolah termasuk dlm soal kebersihan dan membuang sampah ini. Ia ada kaitan dgn soal DISIPLIN pelajar yg akn mjd rakyat awam di luar sana kelak.

  145. Dear Tun
    Reference to the solid waste. In m’sia rivers and drains has been a long tradition for dumping either rural or urban people no difference. Its simple to dispose if the authorities are firm on waste disposal methods and educate the people on the seriousness. Action need to be taken through the law to punish the culprits for throwing rubbish . I believe the former minister for housing has implemented waste collection methods however more effort needed from local government to combat the situation and obviously it is their responsibility as well. Now days all are busy with their political agenda’s and safe guarding their precious position in the federal and state constituency. Wonder how they can claim that they are appointed to serve the public. Probably this people need to be taught of their roles n responsibilities again and again.

  146. Kalau pernah buat bancian, tunjukkanlah hasil bancian dan bukti kamu yang menunjukkan pandangan kamu mewakili jutaan rakyat Malaysia dan pandangan yang sebaliknya hanya dipegang oleh “few species” yang kamu sebut-sebutkan. Kalau hanya pandai cakap kosong tiada gunanya.
    Maaflah kalau kamu melompat-lompat kerana berpendapat bahawa saya “kurang ajar” terhadap Mahathir yang menjadi idol kamu. Tetapi sebenarnya jikalau Mahathir inginkan respek, bolehlah dia cuba perolehkan rasa hormat itu dengan TIDAK bercakap seperti hipokrit tua yang nyanyuk. Mungkin kamu ingat kamu yang menguatkuasa laman web ini, tetapi hakikatnya saya tidak perlu mendapat kebenaran ataupun restu kamu untuk berkomen di sini. You tidak suka – I’m sorry, but that’s your problem.

  147. Tun,
    With this incinerator topic, I could not help it…. I need to leave my comments. Thanks to you, I studied in Japan, back home for good in the last 7 years. Recently there is a planning about the clean incinerator. But sadly, looked like that it will not materialized… During my days in Japan, once I have visited the incinerator.. YES… it is in the local neighbourhood just beside the paddy field. It use modern technology.. no smelly odor and very clean. Small lorry will bring the rubish to the incinerator without any split on the road. In fact there is a section for recycle item where some rubish dump that can be recycle will be repaired and creative area, where rubish will be use as art item. Local people can come to the art center and they can even get recycle item for example the recycle bicycle for free. In Japan, they build the incinerator not for each states( it is call perfecture in Japan) but they actually built the incinerator for every district. Just imagine how many it is !!!. But of course, incinerator will not be good without the habit of dividing our garbagge accordingly. We have to start some where to divide our garbagge… kindergarden will be a good start…. for the next generation……….

  148. TUNNNNN!!!!!!!!
    Assalamualaikum……how are you TUN?????
    when I was reading this article about RUBBISH…I think it is the attitude that counts….whether we like it or not we got to accept the fact that the anglosaxons are very discipline when come to doing their daily routine.I have to admit that the people there have sense of self-responsibilities not just for themselves but the awareness of the danger if the rubbish were not to be recycled properly…they are committed people and they like to summon people to court if they are not satisfied…I think thats one of the reasons why chinese cant really survive in UK because they cant cheated that much if not!!! here comes the court action!!!Mereka bak ayam tak berkokok…..not like in Malaysia …its easier to cheat here….either the people are too tolerant or not aware of their rights or the law is too lenient!!!….
    I stayed in UK for few years and I never came across the sound of police sirens which escorted the ministers or politicians in London or Oxford where I stayed with my hub but when I went back to Kuching I remembered that there was a heavy traffic jam at a traffic light and suddenly I heard a police sirens came nearer and nearer to my vehicle accompanying a minister’s car and this police kept on asking us to give way!!!…but how could we???…we all stucked !!!!….I was angry ..I opened my window and gave a signal to whoever in the car telling them we cant give ways due to the congested road!!!well thats how most of the leaders in Malaysia are …I think once they in power they think that the people work for them and not the other way round….Well come back to square one!!!…lack of self-responsibilities!!!…..
    OK then TUN I go now…..

  149. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Heard that the to-be-ex PM needs a few more days to give up his post to sort things out properly and not immediately. So I presume it won’t be in March after all. I can understand why he’s called flip-flop. After that he’ll say he needs another more months then it become years. He did say he’ll get things done by March so why need more days. Tun must know the real reason why or maybe you (the knowledgeable commentators) know something going on behind the scene. Maybe there are loads of rubbish he needs to sort out and time to tender or rent rubbish trucks to throw or recycle the rubbish. His 4th floor guys will surely ever ready to give him a helping hand. He has ample time so no need to waste time. Work real hard and faster. A promise is a promise
    Thank you Tun, May Allah Look Upon You Always.

  150. Dear Tun,
    With regards to the waste incinerator issue, based on publicly available documents the technology proposed is only in the pilot plant stage in Japan and it DOES emit dioxins, a highly carcinogenic compound.
    Without disrespect to your accomplishments I hope the government’s habit of purchasing equipment without proving tests is not one of your legacies.
    The public has matured enough to realise that GOVERNMENT funds are actually PUBLIC money and its use should be accountable and its benefits enjoyed by all who contribute.

  151. Samy Vellu should be given public canning.
    Chua Soi Lek should be sent for rehabilitation camp. He has problems with too much testosterone.
    Najib should be sent to Iraq, since he loves weapons.
    Abdullah should be given adrenallin injection.
    Rafidah Aziz should be sent to Tim Bak Tu, where there’s no AP’s

  153. Aslmkm Ayahanda Tun,
    nampaknya lebih jelas bahawa DSAI suka memutar belitkan fakta. Sini ckp lain..sana ckp lain. Amat memalukan..!
    Tapi, adalah jelas..hanya pemimpin yg berkualiti tinggi spt Ayahanda Tun saja yang berani membuat keputusan menentang arus spt itu…dan akhirnya Malaysia terselamat drp IMF.
    Ayahanda Tun,
    Menurut satu artikel..Indonesia telah berjaya menjelaskan hutang IMF 4 tahun lebih awal dan GDP adalah 6.3%. GDP itu dijangka akan meningkat dan disasarkan akan mendahului China dlm sedikit masa.Daripada pemerhatian Tun, apakah rahsia ..sehingga mereka nampak berjaya..dlm mentadbir ekonomi. Komen..Ayahanda Tun amat di hargai.
    Semoga Tun dan keluarga sentiasa sihat dan ceria. Salam saya pada Ibuanda.

  154. Greetings Sir,
    Prompt action has to be taken soon, if not, the harmful effects upon the environment in Malaysia can be irreversible.

  155. Salam Tun
    Thank you very much for your blogs and your comments. As I said before, I enjoy reading them and they are of very high quality especially when you discuss about our country’s history, financial topics and topics on government and economy. I must also apologize for not being able to visit you during your Raya open house due to personal constraints. How I wish chedet.com could be started very much earlier during your later tenets of your Prime Minister-ship. Then you would be able to access the wealth of the whole brains of the nation (or at least those who decide to contribute by making constructive comments in chedet.com). I do respect you as a person and as Prime Minister. You have contributed enormously to Malaysia and it would be difficult to emulate you (as Pak Lah is trying hard to do..hi..hi..hi).
    I saw your comments on TV about UMNO not allowing bright young people into UMNO because the older leaders fear they may be overcome. It is very insightful of you..however I have given up on UMNO ever since it decide to be a one race party. I believe UMNO will be an excellent party if it regarded all Malaysian citizens as equal despite of race and opened up to all. Anyway I cannot change the course of history and now we see the politik wang and the kelemahan Melayu. If UMNO had been multi-racial, it would be very difficult to attribute kelemahan UMNO as kelemahan Melayu. Perhaps there might not even be politik wang. As example, our Malaysia football team is more successful with Santokh Singh, Soh Chin Aun and Serbegeth Singh included as opposed if it was just all one race (Malay) alone. Anyway, I think we see things changing very fast in Malaysia now with globalisation and the foreigners coming in. If the Govt manages this well and only allow good foreigners in, we will see Malaysia become a very rich nation, richer than we are now with just Malays, Chinese, Indians and pribumis only. However, I believe BN political affairs have reached an irreversible and damaged state and cannot be remedied any longer. This is after years of going for materialism alone, cronyism, corruption..I am not sure and I don’t want to accuse. Let there be a new party based on Islamic principles first, a clean heart, then intelligence, wit, hard work and knowledge. I believe this new party will be very successful, have a clean image and can lead Malaysia to the next century.
    As for your topic on Rubbish, my heart grows despondent. Even in my apartment neighbourhood, residence puts bags and bags of rubbish next to each and every rubbish bin scattered around the area as they do not bother to do the slightly longer walk of going to the larger rubbish dumpster bins which have been allocated to them. So every Monday morning (because the cleaners do not work on weekends), we have bad stench and loads and loads of rubbish bag near every rubbish bins…some of which have been torn open by cats. Ah…very sad to see that even in my apartment area despite the management putting up notices still cannot put their rubbish inside the rubbish bin or if it is full and better still, bring their trash to the allocated dumpsters. Even looking at this “small” behaviour makes me give up on Malaysians ever being progressive at all!

  156. Salam TUN,
    Khas buat pengetahuan blogger Dannali.
    Pengisar sisa buangan pada sinki telah didapati menjadi masaalah di barat. Mereka dapati lebih senang mengurus sisa pepejal daripada sisa cecair. Air yang telah becampur dengan cecair sisa buangan amat mahal untuk di kitar semula.
    Di barat mereka sudah mula menghentikan penggunaan pengisar tersebut dan saperti biasa teknologi yang begini akan di ekport ke dunia ketiga.
    Apa yang kita sama2 boleh mula untuk mengurangkan sampah ialah mengelak dari menggunakan plastik semasa membeli-belah.
    Saya telah lebih 10 tahun tidak menerima plastik ketika membeli melainkan terpaksa.
    Maaf, Sama2 kita menjaga kebersehan negara kita.
    Selamat sejahtera TUN, Family dan Bloggers semua.

  157. Tun,
    I really appreciate the ongoing environmental-friendly effort by the Government to improve the quality of living. I think that the installation of incinerators in the residential areas would be very benificial for all of us.
    However, I do think that some Malaysians, depending on the ways they live their lives, are not ready for this. We are not Japanese and Japanese are not us. For the sake of discussion, I went for a site visit in Japan and I was humbled by the attitude of their construction workers. They have positive attitude on cleanliness. I would not think twice to lay down on the concrete pavement, which is very clean! For us here, just look at the condition of F1 Circuit, toilets in KLCC, other public toilets, condition of the garbage carrier etc. Clearly, in some places, it is evident that we are the promoters of first class facility with third class mentality.
    However, I do think that the incinerators would work. It will require hardwork. I just do not want to see another white elephant in the country.

  158. Salam Tun,
    Saya ingin mengambil kesempatan ini untuk mengucapkan ribuan terimakasih atas jasa tun sehingga menjadikan saya sorang manusia walaupun bukanya yang terbaik……Semoga di kesempatan yang mendatang membolihkan saya mempelajari banyak perkara dari tun di dalam blog ini…..

  159. Salam Tun,
    Saya setuju dengan apa yang Tun perkatakan. Mereka yang bijak pandai, mengata Tun yang bukan-bukan tidak pandai berhujah menafikan kritikan Tun. Hanya mengkritik Tun apabila ingin mendapatkan populariti (tidak ikhlas). Mereka ini lah sampah sebenar dalam UMNO.
    Berkenaan dengan Incenerator…. saya bersetuju dengan pendapat Tun. Namun pernah sekali saya bersetuju dan memberi pendapat kepada Adik saya (Guru) mendapat tentangan yang hebat. Kerajaan perlu mengambil tindakan tegas, bagi meyakinkan rakyat. Antara yang ada dalam pandangan saya… memperjelaskan kebaikan penggunaan Incenerator. Malahan buat kali pertama penggunaannya…. saya rasa perlu ada insentif buat penduduk sekeliling. Antara cadangan saya;
    1. Penduduk diberi Jaminan kesihatan (insuran)sekiranya mendatangkan kemudaratan. Ini bagi meyakinkan penggunaan incenerator kepada rakyat.
    2. Peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk tempatan
    3. Jaminan / Pampasan sekiranya berlaku pencemaran oleh pemaju Incenerator.
    4. Sistem logistik yang terkini dan digunapakai oleh negara Jepun.
    5. Jaminan harga asset dikawasan tersebut tidak terjejas malahan meningkat.
    Perkara-perkara sebegini penting bagi menangkis permasalahan yang dibawa oleh penduduk setempat. Kerajaan juga perlu menggunapakai 100% teknologi yang ingin dibawa dari negara Maju.
    Apa yang dirisaukan, Teknologi yang telah terbukti berjaya di negar-negara Maju, GAGAL diaplikasi di Malaysia disebabkan aplikasi yang tidak sempurna. kemungkinan haya peratusan teknologi ini yang dibawa ataupun penyelewengan demi mengaut keuntungan yang lebih.
    Perkara-perkara ini perlu dipantau dan menjadi jaminan bagi penduduk setempat.
    P/S: Saya memperlihatkan Disiplin, Rasa Hormat kepada orang lain yang ada dikalangan Rakyat, Pemaju, Kontraktor dinegara Maju (Jepun) adalah tinggi.

  160. asssalammualaikum tun,
    psl sampah mmg kita jauh ketinggalan.kesedaran sivik tatarakyat kurang dikalangan org kita. kt sekolah mata pelajaran sivik diajar seminggu sekali,itupun kalau cikgunya ada(selalunya ia di ajar oleh guru besar).kt rumah pulak anak anak kurang dididik tentang kebersihan.kadangkala terutama rumah di kampung(tidak semua)kelihatan tandas dan bilik mandinya kurang bersih(gred D&E).bagi mereka munkin dh bersih tapi bagi kita yg dh biasa bersih nampak keadaaannya kurang bersih.(geli)
    kita perlu belajar dari negara lain yg bersih tak perlu pegi jauh,kita lihat di singapura mmg negaranya bersih dan kelihatan bersih.walau pun kebanyakkan org kita(org politik)tak suka singapura tapi kita boleh belajar dari mereka tentang pengurusan & penguatkuasaan sampah.singapura dh ada teknologi rawatan air(new water)saya percaya sekarang kita tk perlu new water tapi lagi 50 tahun lagi kita akan memelukan teknologi rawatan air.sekarang kita metertawakan org singapura kerana minum air bekas kumbahan tapi akan dtg kita juga akan minum air bekas kumbahan.lihatlah sungai kita hampir kesemuanya tercemar sebelum sampai ke laut.lihatlah hutan gunung kaw,tadahan air semuanya tunggu masa utk terokai oleh org yg tamak atas dasar kemajuan.mmg kita perlu maju tapi jgn korbankan alam sekitar,jadikan alam sekitar seperti kita menyanyangi org yg kita sayang.
    wassalam,
    jadikan politik utk jaga alam sekitar bukan politik utk menjahanamkan alam sekitar

  161. YAB Tun,
    Obama or McCain,
    This is another thing that has been bugging me, may be Tun can give us some wise insight.
    Previously when it was down to AlGore and Bush- the Florida electoral recount and the dispute of chad vs. dimple and the scrubbing of voters list -democracy in process- I remember the rude remark of Gore whilst he was here in KL. At that time I was wondering what would be the White House foreign policy if Gore was to win and what was the consequences if Jeb hands over the election to George of Carlyle house. Well we all are seeing the result in middle east and the policy of shoot first and ask later.
    Coming back to McCain- what would be his view towards SEAsians since his suffering years as POW would certainly have left a deep scar in his conscience. If this so called maverick becomes the no.1 what could be his attitude and action towards Asians? What would you do if you shot down someone who is carpet bombing your country and your backyard?
    As for Obama, his father was a Muslim, his step father too was a Muslim albeit of the claim of not a devote one. Will he try to distance himself from being perceived as Muslim sympathizer hence will he be less willing to listen or compromise. Or will he try to appease the Israel American and Jewish lobby? What would it mean to countries such as Indonesia and serumpun “Malaysia”, Kenya…if Obama wins???
    Dear Tun, may be you can enlighten us- we live in a global village yet we have to be prepared to chart our course.
    Cheers n Salam

  162. Salam Tun,
    1. I have been doing my part in recycling waste. However, the recycling centres are choosy on the recycled items they accept. They accept plastic bottles, paper products and metals only for recycling. The rest like plastic bags, plastic wrappers, aluminium foils, glass,foam polystyrene and ceramics are rejected. Just imagine, where would these unwanted items ends up; if it is not in the official dump-site, it will be anywhere else including the rivers. I am at a loss.
    2. The recyling campaign by the government is half hearted because they have not fully resolve the issue I had just highlighted.
    3. We need to have carrot and stick “incentives” to make recyling works. If we leave it to the people’s volunteerism, we will not succeed because the majority of our people are self-centred.
    Salam sejahtera to Tun and family.

  163. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    About those undesirable comments just ignore them Tun. Throw them together with other rubbish in the rubbish bin. Ignore, forget and forgive is good for the heart. It doesn’t cost a dime to do this instead it will lighten your head, Tun. Some of the comments published here are really informative, be they true or untrue. Some commentators seems to be at loggerheads. Do you have to view them here Tun? So boring la reading such childish comments, not informative at all, the same old tune. They should abuse someone else’s blog not yours, Tun. Anyway I guess you are being democratic. Very eager to hear more exciting posts from you Tun.
    Take good care and May Allah Look Upon You Always.

  164. Minta izin to add comment on “ardyl”-
    Very soon the working class family that saved money to buy proton saga and persona gonna be in connundrum. I am a family of six, next year onwaeds if don’t belt up for rear passangers PDRM will charge RM300 per offence. I’m all for the safety, yadda,yadda… but the rear seat only comes with 3 seat belts and 2 for the front passanger- I ain’t got a 7 seater MPV to ferry my family- well since we are on that topic what about school buses and vans- what’s good for the goose should be good for the gender isn’t it? Fikir la masak-masak before passing a bill!!!!
    On another note, IMF measures, man that reminds me when BBMB raised the interest rate for my housing loan- suddenly from RM1200 a month I was to pay RM1800 for monthly repayment- what to do liquidate my ASB, EPF withdrawal all dumped to reduce my repayment amount and for the last 10 yrs I have been trying to rebuild my savings- hopefuly the coming economic crisis will be handeled well- else value of money over time = zero.

    “Save as you throw”
    —————————
    In England, this proposal already been outlined by the Local Government Association. But Malaysia? AHAAAHH… Its true when
    you said Tun, “But we in Malaysia have higher standards of
    cleanliness. We do not want even the cleanest incinerators to be
    located anywhere near where we live.” HAHHAHH!!! Hell funny. I
    think its all about our civilians minded and how good the standard
    of our education system. While developed country like United
    Kingdom encourage more recycling, we encourage more lying in the
    political stage. We get busy in incrucial matters and keep spread
    an idiot news about it (for example its sodomy, moron!!!).
    Keeeeeppp talking about sodomy, sodomy and sodomy while other
    countries already prepared their economy plans, long term
    financial budget and bail-out listing. If we still keeping this
    up, our beloved motherland Malaysia will be unable to cope in what
    we call, The Global Competitions.

  166. Dear Tun,
    I have always amire the many great things that you had done for our country and will never hesitate to correct those who made verbal attacks on you. Tun, we do need leaders of your qualities for the country to remain strong. What did we achieve after you left??? Can those who critise answer?

  167. Assalammualaikum Tun,
    Semoga sekeluarga sihat selalu.
    Dah tabiat luncai begitulah Tun, kalau tak terjun,depa nak pi mana lagi……

  168. Y.A.Bhg Tun yang dihormati,
    To people like Barcott (outsider), Yap & other unfriendly bloggers…
    My dearest Tun, please allow me to skin these cats alive….
    To Barcott….firstly, You are not a Malaysian and don’t have a place in this blog…so stay out!…we never asked neither do we need your views on Tun or our beloved Malaysia…We Malaysians never commented anything about our neighbouring country nor other countries…that’s b’coz we do have our pride and spirits of being fortunate Malaysians…we don’t want to be like singapore…with Tun’s abilities we could have done it better!…and I don’t see why you even bother commenting on Tun’s Blog if you think you are better than him or anyone of us in here…
    99% of us in here looked up at him (not idolized) b’coz he has proven himself as a true leader…what have you done for your country?…FYI, we don’t want to know…
    It is only obvious that we love our country b’coz Tun has put us high above others including YOU!….now I can see why you are very jealous of our achivements and its all derived from Tun’s efforts…let me tell you this…(this is not an advice)
    Be respectful to others than you may find that you’ll be respectful someday…you get nothing for nothing these days…
    And to Yap Cheng Ghee (Get your facts right)…The NEP has helped the non Malays to a much greater heights too…believe me…no stone was unturned when Tun was at the Helm….he had Tun Ling leong sik representing from MCA for the CHINESE communities…
    He had DSSamy Vellu representing from MIC for the INDIANS communities…
    He had all leaders from various political parties representing each races in Malaysia…and its all up to the leaders to distribute what was allocated for each races in this countries…open your eyes Yap!
    If you think, you and the chinese communities were being single out in this society…all I can say is…it is all in your mind…there’s lot more other chinese who appreciates Tun’s efforts…Malaysia is unique in many ways….there’s no place in this world like Malaysia…let me tell you this….look around you and ask yourself…are you still living in that small box of prejudice mind?…its time to think and move ahead and make Malaysia a better place on earth…we are all one happy family “Malaysians spirit”…but the end of the day…its up to you!
    Tun has given all races in this country a fair deal…need you ask for more?…like the old saying…”you can’t have everything in this world”…be it if you’re a Malay…chinese…Indians…or an outsider like Barcott!…They can say anything about Tun…but the fact remains…its doesn’t mean anything to all fellow bloggers.
    Thank you Tun…May Allah swt grant all your wishes in your prayers…

  172. Dearest Tun,
    I was with my family travelling along Jalan Ampang last night when my 9 year old daughter exclaimed how beautiful the Twin Towers looked. At this tender age she said ” you see dad, there are so many things left behind by Dr. Mahathir that we can appreciate and enjoy. I was in totally agreement with her. You are a man with vision and far sightedness and you have an unblemished record while in office. Imagine a 9 year old who sees history in the future. May allah bless you always. Salam

  173. Even in Japan, they sort their rubbish at home into combustible, non-combustible and recyclable, and you throw them at different days according to the timetable. It’s hard at first but eventually you get used to it. Malaysia should definitely do this as well. Having recycling bins in certain areas was more of a short-term plan I believe.

  174. Tun you amaze me, with your knowledge and wit you are the best. Pray that you come back TUN………… Please Please for the sake of the people

  175. “I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.” – TUN DR MAHATHIR
    Truely I like your quote. These people just dont know how to put the blame. They just simply ‘blast’ whatever they feel or believe is right. Funny tho, these people claim to be like “so angel” but in reality they are just plain ignorance.
    “5. Incidentally I am told that in the United Kingdom every household has to have three rubbish bins; one each for plastics, glass and perishables. If the rubbish inspectors finds that there is nothing in the bins the householder will be fined for throwing his rubbish elsewhere. Will we accept sorting our rubbish and dumping them into the correct bin! I think not. That is for the Government to do, as we pay taxes precisely for sorting our rubbish.”- TUN DR M
    Well I must say that I agree with this statement. From my own perception point of view, I think Malaysian government should adopt this principle as well. Make sure that each household have at least 3 dustbins. DBKL should therefore go house to house once a month i.e. saturday perhaps, to check all the houses. Cleaniness is very important because it will discipline us.
    “3. Of course I did not do everything by myself. I had a lot of help from others. But Anwar was not one of them. He, many will remember, was the Minister of Finance who implemented the IMF strategy without the IMF with disastrous results.”- TUN DR MAHATHIR
    Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim memang tidak akan menolong TUN DR MAHATHIR kerana Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim mahu TUN DR MAHATHIR dikeluarkan seandainya TUN DR MAHATHIR tidak dapat memperbetulkan isu krisis kewangan 1997/98. Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim juga sememangnya sengaja ingin menggunakan bantuan IMF dengan berharapkan TUN DR MAHATHIR bersetuju dengannya dimana akhirnya nanti TUN DR MAHATHIR yang harus dipertanggungjawapkan.
    Pandai juga si Anwar ini..tapi akhirnya termakan dirinya sendiri.

  177. tun,
    Hmm.. anwar + comments against you + rubbish in one post. You must be really really hate anwar.

  178. Salam Tun.
    “Anwar Ibrahim penyelamat ekonomi Malaysia pada krisis 97/98?” Huh, sapa dia tu …tak kenaipun … badut politik ka? ….lupakan dia !
    Sisa Pepejal @ Sampah-sarap
    Rakyat Malaysia tidak dapat menerima penggunaan insinerator disebabkan oleh informasi negatif yang disebarkan oleh pihak tertentu yang mungkin benar dan mungkin salah. Malangnya kajian lanjut terhadap kesan-kesan penggunaan insinerator tidak pula dilaksanakan secara terperinci. Oleh itu ramai pihak membuat keputusan berdasarkan andaian semata-mata.
    Selain insinerator, terdapat beberapa kaedah lain yang boleh digunapakai bila kita berhadapan dengan sampah. Yang penting kita perlu berusaha menjimatkan sumber alam agar tidak semua bahan buangan dilupuskan. Ciri-ciri sampah di Malaysia yang terdiri daripada 45% sisa organik dan peratusan selebihnya masih boleh digunasemula dan ini membantu kita menjimatkan sumber.
    Yang penting sekarang DS Najib, selaku pengerusi jawatankuasa kabinet mengenai alam sekitar perlu bertindak segera menerusi KPKT untuk mengatasi masalah yang semakin kritikal kini. Jawatan presiden sudah diperolehi, jadi lupakan politik dan tumpukan kepada penyelesaian masalah yang tidak diambil endah oleh “orang” sebelum ini.
    Rakyat Malaysia juga harus menukar sikap kerana sampah bukan semata-mata tanggung jawab kerajaan. Kita sepatutnya bersama-sama membantu menanganinya kerana kita hidup di atas bumi yang sama.
    Cara terbaik adalah asingkan sampah di rumah kepada 2 beg; 1 untuk sisa makanan dan 1 lagi untuk lain-lain. Itu sudah memadai.
    Seperkara lagi buanglah tabiat pengotor seperti:
    1. Buang puntung rokok,tisu dsb keluar kenderaan sesuka hati,
    2. Buang sampah ke dalam longkang atau sungai (punca banjir kilat),
    3. Kencing merata-rata (saya pernah tengok ada mak bapak yang biar anak kencing dalam sinki basuh tangan di KFC),
    4. Peniaga pasar malam dan pasar basah yang gemar buang segalanya selepas selesai berniaga.
    dan banyak lagi perangai buruk yang mungkin para bloggers lain boleh sambung..

  179. DEAR TUN,
    BETUL TU NASH, ANWAR TU SIAPA? ORANG KE? ALIEN KE? AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN HE IS RUBBISH LIKE AYAHANDA MENTION. TIME TO DUMP HIM FOR GOOD!
    LUV YOU ALWAYS AYAHANDA

  180. Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun.
    Terima kaseh diatas nasehat berguna kepada bloggers terutamanya yang mengagong-agongkan parti pembangkang.
    DSAI dan peminat setianya telah merosakkan ekonomi Malaysia. Mereka perlu sedar dari dibuai mimpi dan sendiwara yang dimainkan oleh DSAI.
    Professor Diraja Ungku Aziz pernah kata “Anwar bukanlah seorang pemimpin yang patut dicontohi”. “Dia datang ke universiti bukan hendak belajar, tetapi menghasut mahasiswa supaya berdemonstrasi”.
    Semasa DSAI menjadi Menteri Kewangan, beliau telah mengikut telunjuk IMF dengan menaikkan kadar bunga pinjaman sehingga banyak usahawan bumiputera terlangkup.
    Selain tindakan spekulator peniaga matawang, DSAI juga telah melarikan matawang Malaysia dalam bentuk $1,000.00 dan $500.00 keluar negara sehingga kerajaan terpaksa mengarahkan supaya wang tersebut dibawa balik ke Malaysia.
    Saya setuju dengan pendapat YABhg Tun mengenai blogger yang membuat kecaman dalam blog ini. Kebanyakan mereka samada penyokong fanatik DSAI, DAP, PAS ataupun DSAAB tidak mempunyai asas yang kukuh. Komen berkenaan telah mendedahkan kedangkalan pengetahuan mereka mengenai isu yang dibincangkan. Bukan saja lari tajuk, malah berunsur dusta, dengki serta iri hati.
    Kita sepatutnya tidak menjadikan Malaysia sebagai tong sampah yang besar. Galakkan program kitar semula. Mulakan kempen “Zero Waste” sepertimana disarankan oleh Islam iaitu “Jangan Membazir Kerana Membazir Itu Amalan Syaitan”. Islam mewajibkan supaya kita mengutamakan kebersihan dimana “Kebersihan Itu Adalah Separuh Dari Iman”.
    Galakkan penggunaan insinerator atau loggok saja sampah dihalaman pemimpin DAP yang menentang pembinaannya.
    Semoga YABhg Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah.

  181. askm Tun..semoga sentiasa sihat..
    Terkilan betul di hati tak dapat mengikuti temubual Tun yang lepas…

  183. Dearest Tun,
    As always, some petty but insightful view from you. I too miss attending the meetings you chaired.
    In my perceived mind as I see it happening, not that the authorities don

  184. Things I would really like to see in Malaysia in near future,
    1) Nuclear Reactor (to generate electricity of course)
    2) Incinerator
    3) Public banned from driving into KL City during peak hour but with a very systematic Park & Ride System.
    4) A new bill on recycle.

  186. salam Tun,
    wow Mohd. Sivakumar!…you got a driver?Really?!Very impressive!
    For someone whose IQ is on the same level as a chimp,you really made it,man!I am so proud of you.
    Don’t you feel an iota of gratitude towards Malaysia and Malays in particular for giving your ancestors the chance to become citizens in this country and eventually become rich and afford a DRIVER?
    WHY…WHEN I COME TO THINK OF IT…HOW THE HELL DID YOU EVER MANAGE TO GET RICH WITH THE NEP AND MALAY RIGHTS HINDERING YOUR PROGRESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY,AS YOU AND OTHER MORONS IN THIS BLOG CLAIM?(HEY MORONS,YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!)
    Never ever forget that one of your own said that THE HUMANITY OF THE MALAYS ARE UNPARALLELED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!
    Do not belittle others as though you are so damn good.Your written english is despicable which makes for a good laugh.You really have a driver ah?

  187. salam TUN,
    to those critical of Tun hear this,
    WE LIKE TUN MAHATHIR
    he is gooood, bloody good
    NO OTHER PERSON IN THE COUNTRY WE LOVE TO LISTEN TO MORE THAN HIM
    yes we are malaysian and he is us
    WHATEVER HE SAYS MAKE SENSE, JUST COMMON SENSE FOR COMMON RAKYATS
    so we love him……despite of all the ‘bad’ in the past 22 years
    HE MADE US FOCUSED
    where are we lead to now?

  188. Leave Anwar aside. He is only good for stirring up things by making use of the less educated. The less educated are gullible and will believe everything churned out by Anwar. If Anwar says ” let’s demonstrate “, the blind followers will just go and burn tyres without a second thought. So let us leave Anwar out of the picture. He is too busy planning PLAN Z to stir up more rubbish.
    That brings me to environmental issues. Of course the opposition lead by idiotic fools have been instrumental in running down beneficial projects by creating all sorts of fictional accusations.
    Their best slogan is ‘the money could be better spent elsewhere’.
    The opposition wants us to leave in the dark ages and only wants to shut up valuable projects, and then start the blame game.
    I call upon the opposition to solve the mounting rubbish problem and also the burial ground problem instead of running to the streets like ‘rebels without a cause’.
    Give some meaningful alternatives. Not political points, please.
    A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING.

  189. Akum TUN dan semua
    “Rubbish” banyak dihasilkan zaman pemerintahan AAB dan menantu . Justeru itu “rubbish” juga yang dibalas oleh rakyat pada beliau semasa pilihanraya ke 12.
    Saya berdoa “rubbish” ini akan dibuang secepat mungkin sehingga negara kita cuci dan bersih serta aman dan nyaman.
    wassalam

  190. Salam Tun Mahathir, Tun Siti dan pembaca,
    Ceria ceria selalu…
    1. Interview – Clearly Western has their own AGENDA and PROPAGANDA.
    2. Comments – Every commentator in this blog must be RESPONSIBLE of each word they said attached with proof, else, they are not qualified to say a word especially in accusing TUN.
    3. Rubbish – It is time to review & improve Malaysia’s HEALTH SYSTEM including waste management, in order to prepare ourselves and our grandchildren continously to have clean water, fresh air and a quality MIND.

  191. Dear Tun,
    Malaysian are not even informative enough to use the three colour recycle bin properly.
    Another sad case I seen is that in a MNC call center, where most of the staff made of highly educated Malaysians, could care nothing much about recycling. The only people who do recycling work there is the cleaners who sell the waste papers for money.
    I was in Perth 2 months ago, I was impressed when in the Supermarket, EVERYBODY are using a reusable shopping bag, plastic bags supplied but nobody bother to use it. It seem like the environment protection message is all over the city, spotless clean, trash bin everywhere, natural gas buses, prius taxi, beverage producer offer to payback whoever brought back their beverage packages, wind generators, etc.
    I always wonder, why did our ministers always carry out fruitless lawat sambil belajar campaign?

  192. Dear Tun,
    I turned the volume higher when i watched your speech
    and interview in TV. I made sure I heard what you said.
    I never changed to another channel unless your speech and
    interview were done.
    Also, i had never missed read articles, news and etc about you.
    As long as it was about you i would read. Not much news about you
    published in New Strait Time, so I no more subscribed it and now
    I have Star.
    Many out there, love you Tun.

  193. Selamat pagi Tun,
    I surfed in the following blogs last night:-
    1. DS Najib’s blog, not many comments, simple BUT if possible change the font of the website, sakit mata dan pening kepala lah.
    2. DS Ong Tee Kiat, okay, asalkan beliau tak over sangat
    3. Anwar Ibrahim, kena tunggu lama untuk download his website, too many of his gambar2, nampak sangat terlalu “hard sell” dirinya untuk menjadi the nexr PM. Kesian…..
    Well, Tun’s weblog is still the best, simple, straight to the points dan senang difahami. I asked my boy (Tingkatan 2 – Sek. Kebangsaan)to assit me to go into Tun’facebook. He was amazed that Tun has more >15,000 friends, that’s vey good according to him and he got only 20 friends (his classmates). Whatever Tun did is not only target to the mature group(che.det) but also the younger group (Facebook), syabas!!!
    Allow me please Tun:
    To Commentor “solcroft”:
    YOUR COMMENT:
    “Unfortunately we HAVE been robbing all this while. It was Mahathir himself who confirmed that non-Bumiputera pay 90% of the country’s taxes, while it is the Bumiputera who are in charge of the country and form the majority of the population. And even with this robbing we are STILL unable to compete with the tiny speck of snot beneath us that is Singapore. Fifty years ago Malaysia was better off in every way compared to Singapore. We have had land, manpower, and natural resources while Singapore even has to recycle its toilet water into NeWater. And where are we today? Even without the NEP, even without the various racist and one-sided policies backing them, even the Malays in Singapore are more well-off than the Malays in MALAYsia.
    This is like a 500m race between a lame-legged cripple and a healthy full-bodied person. The cripple had to start at the finish line, while the healthy contestant started at the 300m mark. And much to the disbelief and amazement of many, THE CRIPPLE WON. I suggest you ask your dear Tun why this happened.”
    MY COMMENT:
    Whatever you comment on the above truly showed that you are indeed racist. As a rakyat, this is a welfare by helping the poor yang kurang bernasib baik. Look at Canada, they too have the best welfare in the world. If the rich and smart who are excellent in their income, they will be subjected to progressive tax, that is you earn higher, you pay more tax.
    But because of racism, you were blinded accordingly. Maybe you have lots of friend’s from Singapore. I have dealt with Malaysian chinese who work for Singapore in KL. I as a local chinese, mereka pun pandang rendah kat I. I told myself, if Singaporean want to make a living here, then they have to follow our rules and regulation, most importantly at least show some respects to the rakyat of Malaysia. To me, if Singaporean excell in their tiny spot country surrounded by muslim countries, that is their hak.
    I,as a Malaysian, need foreigners to respect and accept what we are. Just like myself in a foreign country, I respect and follow their rules and regulations. This is hak asasi manusia.
    Today, the racial tensions have increased so much due to our Pak Lah, Kamaluddin (his son), KJ and his geng (Musa Hitam, Lim Kian Onn and Tony Fernandez, Mat Tyson, Musa Hitam, Shahril Samad, etc….) – BN components and Pakatan Rakyat (Anwar, Lim Guan Eng, Hindraf’s Cuma) has heated up racism and wealth issues tanpa pedulikan rukun negara. If possible, please read Tun’s articles from May 2008 until today to understand Malaysia. From your writing, I know that you love the country as much as we do.
    Good day Tun

  194. ASSALAMUALAIKUM TUN…..

  195. Salam Mr. Mahathir,
    – What is coming out from this tall chimneys?. There must be a reason why they are so tall. Since nothing is created and nothing is destroyed I would expect that everything is coming out from there.
    – Would you like to have incinerators near your house?
    – I agree with you, recycling is the best, because it will force to produce things that can be recycled. That’s the way we should go.
    Regards
    Giovanni Pengue

  196. Dear Tun,
    Izinkan saya beri nasihat ikhlas kepada perwakilan yang akan hadir di perhimpunan agong UMNO bulan Mac depan.
    Gunakan AKAL. Allah berikan kita AKAL yang paling MAHAL sekali dikalangan makhluknya.
    Jangan persia-siakan akal yang dianugerahkan oleh Allah kepada makhluk yang bernama manusia.
    Jangan biarkan akal kita dinodai oleh manusia yang bertopengkan iblis dan setan dikalangan ahli-ahli UMNO supaya kita tidak terjerumus dalam perangkap mereka.
    UMNO akan terus hidup selamanya jika kita gunakan akal kita dengan rasional untuk menentukan bahawa siapa yang layak memimpin UMNO, demi untuk terus memperjuangkan hak kita dan masa depan anak cucu kita. Kita bertanggong jawab atas segala tindakan yang kita ambil sekarang. Jika salah tindakan kita maka kita sendiri menanggongnya dan akan melihat kesan baik buruknya. Jangan salahkan pihak lain kerana MENDAIFKAN AKAL KITA !!!

  197. Dear Tun,
    Pak Lah said he hoped that parliament would approve the reformation measures he wanted to implement before stepping down in March next year.
    He was referring to the bills on the formation of the Judicial Appointments Commission, the Anti-Corruption Commission and the Special Complaints Commission.
    comment:
    Lupakan sahaja Pak Lah! Tak payahlah nak dapat nama kononnya dia dah buat reformasi.
    Macam mana bentuk reformasi yang Pak Lah beria-ia benar nak laksanakan. Reformasi haprak dan HP6 ke ??????

    Abdullah Emphasises Importance Of Agri Sector To Economy
    KOTA KINABALU, Nov 1 (Bernama) — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi today emphasised the importance of the agriculture sector to the economy, saying it was all the more apparent at a time of global crises including food shortage.
    “In facing this (global crises) situation, we have to consider the factors to focus on to step up our economy. The agriculture and plantation sectors stand out among the measures we have to take.
    “Although initially people assumed that I was looking back in trying to move forward, we have seen that the measures we have taken are the right ones,” he said in his address when opening the 23rd annual general assembly of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), here.
    comment:
    I wonder what really he has done on agriculture sector to the extent that Pak Poh said he is the JAGOH PERTANIAN !! kah,kah, kah !!
    Cakap je, tapi KOSONG !!

  199. Economic Downturn: Malaysian Workers Affected
    Dear Tun,
    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 (Bernama) — With the world economy plummeting, there is fear that more Malaysians abroad will be jobless and may head home, thus putting pressure on the already tight job market here.
    Malaysians working in Singapore are the first to feel the heat and are returning home because they have been retrenched. Workers from other countries may be coming home soon as the economic situation gets worse.
    comment:
    What a tough time for Najib! He better gets his priority right and ensure that he has got the best advisors to guide him with proper policies to address this serious issue of unemployment. Things do not seem to be rosy for the next coming years. Not having the right policies will be disasterous for Najib.

  200. Dear Tun,
    Varsities Must Be In Forefront To Strengthen Unity
    KUALA SELANGOR, Nov 2 (Bernama) — Universiti Industri Selangor (Unisel) chancellor, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, today said universities must in the forefront of efforts to strengthen national unity.
    “Without strong unity among all races in Malaysia we will face a bleak future. What we have may be lost while what we desire may not be achieved,” she said at Unisel’s convocation at Bestari Jaya here today.
    Comment:
    We have to go back to basic ie. back to primary school. Integration should start from early age. Our education system is kaput. Najib should take up the Education portfolio and reengineered the whole system in order to realise our dream to have national unity. As it is now the students are becoming more polarised. Question to ask, why it happens this way and how to rectify the situation. Never too late if parents of all races are committed wanting to have real national unity.

  201. Dear Tun,
    Umno Youth Demonstrates Against Appointment Of PKNS Acting General Manager
    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 (Bernama) — About 30 Umno Youth members held a peaceful demonstration at the Kajang toll plaza here today to protest the appointment of Low Siew Moi as acting general manager of the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).
    comment:
    Apo nak di kato, nasi dah jadi bubur. It is all the doing of Khir Toyo and now what a shame for UMNO Youth to demonstrate. Itu pun masih lagi ahli-ahli Pemuda yang calonkan Khir Toyo nak jadi Ketua Pemuda. Sungguh pendek akal Pemuda UMNO.

  202. Dear Tun,
    Get Out Of Malay Grouping, Shahidan Tells Zaid
    KANGAR, Nov 2 (Bernama) — Perlis Umno liaison chief Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim has slammed former Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim over his remarks on “ketuanan Melayu” (Malay supremacy) which Shahidan regards as extreme.
    “Zaid should repent. Otherwise, he should get out of the ‘rumpun Melayu’ (Malay grouping),” said the former Perlis Menteri Besar, here today.
    Shahidan, who is also Arau Umno division chief, said Zaid “is a Malay and should be behaving like a Malay”.
    comment:
    Not surprise at all! Zaid is among the few Malay elite who is arrogant dan yang tak sedar diri. He is just an impressionist among the legal fraternity trying to prove his liberal mindedness and wanting to get high respect from them. Shame on him after getting all the benefits from the NEP. He just cannot deny the success of his legal firm is partly attributable to his bumiputra status.

  203. Dear Tun,
    Umno Youth Will Bring Nur Liyana Back From Lombok
    BALING, Nov 2 (Bernama) — Umno Youth will bring back Nur Liyana Abd Rahim, 18, from Lombok, Indonesia together with her 11 month-old baby.
    Its community defence secreteriat chairman Datuk Abdul Azeez Abd Rahim said Nur Liyana who was abducted by an Indonesian labourer two years ago was presently in eastern Lombok.
    comment:
    Just a cheap publicity for Aziz !! Nothing great !! He had wasted a lot of unnecessary public funds with useless kind of projects like going to the North Pole letting the Mat Rempits to be stuntmen jumping from the plane.What do they gain? Zero !!
    Orang pergi ke North Pole buat scientific research. Kita bawa Mat Rempit terjun! kah, kah, kah !! What a joke !! Very low mentality of Malay leadership quality.

  204. Dear Tun,
    Najib Wins Umno Presidency Unopposed
    KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 (Bernama) — Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has won the Umno presidency unopposed after getting 25 more nominations Sunday, bringing the total number so far to 138.
    comment:
    Congratulations, Najib. You have won the presidency unopposed. Now we are looking forward how you are going to stir the country and make it vibrant economically to greater height.
    One thing I must caution Najib to make sure that his wife does not interfere with the administration of the country. Being “first lady” she must not try to bully or dictate government officers to seek unnecessary personal favours like “carrying all her luggages after going shopping spree overseas”. In other words, don’t ever, ever bully her husband and treat him like pondan. Give him due respect as Prime Minister. He has become a “public property” and we do not want him to be “queen controlled” It will be disasterous if it happens to him. He won’t last long. Make no mistake about it. The perception about Najib’s wife is rather negative. She has to build her image to be a good and respectable “first lady”.

  205. Dear Tun,
    During your tenure as Prime Minister you could have done a lot of things for the benefit of the rakyat. But unfortunately along the way there were a lot of distractions particularly on political front within UMNO leadership who were too eager wanting to be Prime Minister, to the extent that UMNO became an illegal party. The culprits were none other than Musa Hitam and Tengku Razaleigh. Added to this you had Anwar to deal with. It was so messy that I believe you had to concentrate a bit of your productive time to handle these personalities whom I feel were not being fair to you. At the end of the day the rakyat suffered by their doing !! They were very selfish people, indeed!! Don’t you agree, Tun. I know you would prefer not to comment but at least somebody who read your blog might agree with me. Maybe some will say nonsense!!

  206. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Your comment about garbage disposal and recycling issues got me to register and put in my first comment. I have been your loyal reader since this blog started.
    RECYCLING..
    Now I know why we are so obsessed by the 3 colorful recycling garbage bins. We are copying it from the British..
    However, I think there are simpler way to promote recycling in Malaysia. This was based on my experience in the land of Uncle Sam in the 1990s.
    Then, outside each house, there are just two type of bins – the blue and the “other color”, usually green.
    In the blue bins we could put any recycled items – paper, bottles, plastics, etc. Anything, as long as it is recycled.
    Putting in mind that the recycled goods do have values, we should let the garbage collectors do their job. After all, they are the one who got the (extra) money
    Now, I lived in a low-medium cost apartment in PJ where people don’t care too much about recycling.
    What I experimented was putting all recycled items in one plastic bag, and the other garbage in the other bags.
    I put the normal garbage in the huge garbage bin outside the apartment.
    I put the plastic bag that contains all the recyclables on the floor, outside the bin.
    Within 30 minutes, the recycled items are gone.
    So why bother to put in huge sums of govt money to purchase the multi-colored garbage bins if the “market forces” can just do that for you for free?
    We just need to educate people to put the recyclables next to their usual garbage bin. The recycled-items collectors will clean it up for them.
    GARBAGES
    One of the ways to minimize the garbage at landfills/incinerators is by transferring it into different “system”. Again, from my experience with “Uncle Sam”, we should encourage our people to use the centralized sewer management.
    All biodegradable items should be flushed out from the kitchen sink into the kitchen. No more putting your “nasi basi” into the plastic bag and dumping into the garbage bin.
    Just flush it into the kitchen sink, and if necessary promote the introduction of garbage disposal blades at the kitchen sink to chop the wastes such as chicken bones into tiny pieces so that it could not block the sink cavity or the sewer..
    Only items that are not easily flushed out such as hard bones etc that needs to be thrown into the garbage bin.
    Once this items landed into our sewer collection plant, we got a better control of disposing it. There are numerous technology to convert this human wastes into other products.
    Anyway, similar to you, I also feel the the incinerator issues has been blown our of proportion.. — which makes the project got blown into pieces —
    But to be “sensitive” to the feeling of others, why just put these incinerators on top of the already closed landfills. Since the landfills have been perceived as already “contaminated”, a little bit of additional contamination should not matter, isn’t it?…
    my two sen…

    Kacau, Your not so brilliant idea is great.
    I agree Tun should make use of his blog for monetary gain and use the benefit for good cause.
    The book publication is one example on this.
    I bought a few two copies, one to give away to European friends who often did not get good impression of Tun.

  208. Salam Tun
    Saya nak buat follow-up apa kepada apa yang dikatakan oleh malan3395
    “By malan3395 on November 1, 2008 12:27 PM
    Semasa interview pertama mengenai kes helikopter PLah kata kosnya RM1.7 billion. Lepas tu dia kata silap, kos sebenarnya RM1.607 billion. Pegawainya inform kos sebenar RM1.607 billion jadi PLah bundarkan nilainya jadi RM1.7 billion. Ini hanya kes akedemik shj kata PLah.”
    RM 1.7 billion – RM 1.607 billion = RM 0.093 billion (RM9,300,000 atau RM 9.3 JUTA)…
    Bundarkan?? Kes akedemik?? Sekolah mana dia belajar?? ….
    duweyyyy ….

  209. Salam Tun Dr M,
    System pelupusan sampah ni satu hal. Tapi, saya nak highlight tentang sikap orang Malaysia yang tak berdisiplin bila membuang sampah. Sesuka hati buang sampah merata-rata. Perhatikan di tempat2 awam.Sampah yang kecil2 di buang merata2 dan banyak. Bila banyak, ia dah jadi besar jumlahnya dan menyemakkan mata memandang.
    Ada separuh orang, pandai berdisiplin membuang sampah.Keep it up. Ada orang pulak bersikap iri ngan org lain sampai sanggup berkata, “Buat apa aku nak beria-ria nak jaga kebersihan, sedangkan org lain tidak”
    Come on le Malaysian, ini soal sikap.. apa salah kita sama2 jaga kebersihan Malaysia ni… Ini kita kena ‘ajar’ anak2 kita dari kecil, bukan ajar mereka buang sampah dgn selamba dari dalam kereta ke jalanraya…. YE LA..SAMPAH KECIL JE..BUNGKUSAN GULA2…
    MENTALITI YANG BUAT ORG LAIN MENYAMPAH!!!
    BUAT LE GOTONG -ROYONG KE, APA KE, TIAP2 SBULAN SEKALI…NI NAK HARAPKAN PIHAK YANG BERWAJIB JE…PATUT LE SEKARANG NI KUCING NAMPAH TIKUS PUN TAKUT NAK KACAU , APALAGI NAK MAKAN TIKUS TU…
    KEBERSIHAN ADALAH TUNTUTAN AGAMA MANA SEKALIPUN..
    Adios Tun Dr m.

  210. Dear Tun,
    How are you? Please allow me to comment about Rubbish.
    I wonder why the BN government failed to send its 49 MPs to Taiwan to study their waste disposal technologies during the time when Anwar was threatening to take over the government. Instead, the entourage went over there to carry out a detailed study of Taiwan’s state-of-the-art agricultural programmes. What a wrong choice of programmes and a real waste of tax payers

  211. Dear Tun,
    I highly respect you as a leader and for leading Malaysia to what she was 5 years ago.
    This is the first time commenting on your blog, and to start, I won’t comment on politics. Too much of it going on nowadays. Big promises, no results.
    About rubbish, I agree it’s in the reinforcement of law, but I think it is also in the awareness. I think people lack of environmental awareness. I don’t know why as we can already see the effects of global warming through our strange weather lately. From what I see, some Malaysians do not care about the environment and doing things like throwing rubbish where ever they please, open air burning an all that. Other countries (especially developed countries) have long started efforts on reducing our carbon footprints for the sake of where we live (earth). How could we not take care of where we live?

  212. Salam Tun,
    Some simple conclusion after read all comment ..
    99% group of people support u..
    Probably less 1% group of people those are outliers, did’t get HABUAN $$$ when you ruled the country …No wonder this group of people so frustrated..so pity of them.I have few $$$ and I just thinking want to give SEDEKAH to cheer them up..:)
    Tun, You are the great leader with great vision

  213. Dear Tun,
    For a start, all restaurants in Malaysia should practise recycling. Government should address issues facing owners of these restaurants and eating outlets. Let’s give the government about six months to address this; then everyone starts recycling, if not they have to pay summons. That’s the only way to keep the country clean and ensure that the next generations still have clean water, land and air.

  214. Is cynicism the only way that we can explain our Malaysian political scene today?
    YB Tun, I always knew you as a brave and patriotic Prime Minister who fought for everyone. Brave is the keyword here. Brave to bring about change, and we did. Under you, Malaysia prospered. I have the outmost respect and gratitude.
    However, I probably read or heard thousands of comments about politics in Malaysia in recent times. NONE of them is positive or slightly optimistic. Where is the message of unity and tolerance?
    Powers that be in the world are at risks of crumbling, one by one, US, Japan, Korea and even Singapore. Where do we stand? Please give us hope. When you blogged about the dire economic conditions throughout the world, I knew it was a message to Datuk Seri Najib, to be explore deeper and re-evaluate his economic analysis.
    My concern is, while everybody is pointing out the problem, nobody is providing or offering any solutions. If there are any solution, they are providing a weak explanation for it.
    I strongly want to be optimistic again about Malaysia. Want to be excited again, enthusiastic as we once was during the 80s, the early 90s. The GDP maybe positive, but I believe we are on the negative on country’s morale.
    I disagree with your notion that our country needs only one political coalition/party. In think we need more independent thinkers. Most here call it fence sitters, but I call them individuals, having differing opinions on various issues. In differences we can see the light of truth. Yes the truth will always prevail. For a single political entity to be so dominant, almost authocratic, it limits these differences, which may lead us to illogical actions or agendas.
    I also disagree on non-representation of workers. The year 2008, sees wage-slaves getting hurt the most. With stagnant income level since 1997, inflations are just killing us. These are the times where employers and employees, through proper presentation, should work together, to overcome these odds. How long can our dwindling hopes and morale last?
    Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (DSAAB) didn’t lose it during the March ’08. He lost it in the aftermath. He was out of touch with the people and did so much to appease the corporate lobbyists, raised petrol price to a staggering RM2.70 price tag. That’s when everybody said enough is enough. The opposition grew stronger, pouncing on his apparent weakness. I believe that if you were still the Prime Minister, you would never have approved such a raise. You would have fought for the workers. The ones who spends for the local economy. The ones who buys cheaper Malaysian products. I don’t see CEO’s or rich business owners driving a Proton nowadays. I see families, with dad and mum working to raise up their kids, squeezing in a Gen2 or Proton Saga, taking pride in affording a car for their family.
    The past is past. I’m looking towards the future. It is hazy and unclear. When people see despair, I see opportunity. Malaysia can rise again as a nation.
    Please allow the past to be past, let’s move on with the future. I believe that with hope and pride for Malaysia, we can remove such cynicism that I hear or read about from every blogs, newspapers and even mamak stalls.

  215. To Yap Cheng Ghee – ( Nov 2 11.03am )
    Plain simple. Without the kindness of Malays in Malaysia, I don’t think you will be able to survive living in Malaysia.
    Use your brain harder before deciding to comment on anything.

  216. Dear Tun,
    I have always wondered why people keep making sweeping statements against Tun. Even editors of mainstream media have made sweeping remarks that problem we are facing today began when Tun was in office.
    But when I ask them for specific examples, they could not answer.
    Even in universities, some lecturers are highly critical of Tun. But they could not substantiate their arguments.
    When people start demanding for evidence, baseless criticism will stop.

  217. Salam Tun,
    Regarding the waste disposal problem and the attitude of our people compared to those in Europe and elsewhere, is ENFORCEMENT OR RATHER THE LACK OF IT.
    If the authorities are truly serious and impose the full brunt of the existing laws and regulations, then the people will definitely toe the line.
    In Austria, Switzerland and the US where I spent some time or visited, the serious enforcement of the applicable laws forced the residents to toe the line. Even Malaysians living there suddenly become such upright and law-abiding citizens!!
    BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THEY CANNOT MESS WITH THE LOCAL COUNCILS OR THE OFFICERS.
    The people need a strong government and fair, transparent and EQUAL APPLICATION and enforcement of laws. Leaving people to their own devices never works. Neither does selectivity.

  218. Dear Anthony Barcott,
    I usually did not comment on any other person in this blog, but your statement is really out of fact, dumb and annoying.
    Your statement is:
    “Honestly, do you think Malaysia has the capability to maintain such a high tech incinerator?”
    My question, Did you ever been to Kertih, Terengganu? I don’t think so because you are so dumb to come out with those statement above.
    Kertih, Terengganu is the most biggest Petroleum and Petrochemical complex and you know what? This might disappoint to you big time.
    It was runs by you call non-capability Malaysian and these non-capability Malaysian have high demand in Middle East petrochemical industry.
    Then after reading your post carefully I’ve learned that you are not even a Malaysian. Simply the typical non-educated arrogant type Singaporean.
    Please get your fact right or don’t even bother commenting in other people country. (maybe you’re too afraid to comment on your own country fear for lawsuit that make you bankrupt like what happened to politician over there). >> Sigh…

  219. Salam Tun,
    1. Sebelum terlambat saya ingin berterimakasih sangat-sangat kepada Tun sewaktu menjadi Menteri pelajaran dan kemudian sewaktu menjadi Perdana Menteri telah sangat menitikberatkan tentang pendidikan anak-anak orang Melayu.
    2.Saya adalah salah seorang dari ribuan anak melayu yang telah mendapat faedah dan sekarang mampu menikmati kehidupan yang sangat baik berbanding ibu-bapa saya sendiri.Di usia muda saya mampu membeli rumah berharga ratusan ribu , memakai kereta mewah serta memberikan yang terbaik untuk isteri dan anak-anak saya.Tiada niat saya untuk meninggi diri cuma mahu meberitahu Tun akan keadaan saya supaya Tun juga bangga dengan saya sepertimana arwah ayah saya.
    3.Saya amat menyanjung tinggi arwah bapa saya Haji Zulkifli Bin Hassan ,seorang ayah yang sentiasa menitikberatkan tentang pelajaran terhadap anak-anak beliau.Pesanan beliau yang saya tidak akan lupa ialah”…….. abah takder harta mahupun duit berganda cuma abah boleh bagi kamu semua pelajaran sahaja kerana abah percaya pelajaran akan mengubah hidup kamu….” Abah saya genap setahun meninggal kerana kanser, semoga tuhan cucuri rahmat terhadapnyer.
    4.Arwah abah saya sangat menghormati Tun kerana pada beliau Tun telah banyak berusaha untuk menaikkan taraf hidup orang-orang melayu sehingga kita berjaya berdiri sama taraf dengan bangsa-bangsa lain.Percayalah sekira beliau hidup mesti beliau sedih akan perkembangan semasa sekarang ini.
    5.Tentang topik sampah ini memang kerjaya saya membawa diri saya ke Jepun dan negara-negara lain. Saya pernah tinggal selama 3 bulan di Tsu dan juga Hakata serta Sendai Jepun dimana loji pembakar sampah adalah dalam bandar malah bersebelahan rumah orang serta ada yang sebelah sawah padi!!!Wow sangat memeranjatkan bagaimana orang-orang Jepun dapat mendisiplinkan diri serta hidup bersama dengan alam sekitar. Saya percaya Orang Malaysia boleh juga cuma perlu disiplin dan jati diri yang kuat serta sedikit “pujukan” dari pihak kerajaan supaya kaedah ini diterimapakai.
    6.Akhir kata, saya akan bercerita kepada anak-anak saya pasal Tun supaya mereka akan ingat bahawa pernah di Malaysia wujud seorang Stateman dan Melayuan bernama Mahathir Bin Mohammad.
    Salam Sejahtera dari:
    Megat Mohd Shahriman Haji Zulkifli aka nelayanoffshore

  220. Salam Ayahnda Tun. Tak banyak yang anaknda nak kata cuma, “SAMADA REPORTER TU BUTA, ATAAU GILA” Same to Anwar too!! Salam to Bonda Tun Siti Hasmah.

  221. Dear Tun,
    We all know DSAI has failed as a Finance Minister. He followed IMF prescription and made the rakyat suffer financially when the banks imposed higher interest rates.
    It was Tun who saved the country from economic turmoil.

  222. salam Tun.
    seronok rasanya baca Tun pos komen pasal idea (pengurusan sampah). Harap Tun post lebih byk pasal idea Tun. Insya’allah saya akan jd pembaca setia…
    thanks.

    ‘A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something’ – word of wisdom

  223. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Mungkin penduduk risau kalau insinerator di bina di kawasan mereka, bau busuk dari lori-lori yang mengangkut sampah itu yang akan mengganggu, bukannya insinerator tersebut.
    Semoga Tun berdua terus dilimpahi rahmat Allah Ta’ala

  224. Harap maaf lari dari tajuk.
    1. Orang yang mengata Tun semuanya kecundang seperti Ian Chin dan Zaid Ibrahim. Kebenaran mengatasi kebaktilan.
    a. Ian Chin letak jawatan, kenapa majlis peguam yang kurup tiada komen.
    b. Zaid pintu belakang letak jawatan, baru baru ini mempertikai hak orang melayu. Saya rasa semasa ia mengeluarkan statement dalam keadaan mabuk dan hilang pertimbangan. Zaid dan bar council kebanyakannya semua kaki botol.
    c. Tidak ketinggalan juga DSAAB letak jawatan – yang telah menghancurkan parti Umno khasnya dan BN amya.
    Ulasan
    – Jgn mengkhainati amanah yang telah diberi Tun semasa peralihan kuasa dulu.
    – Jgn mengata Tun semasa ia tidak berkuasa, Tun banyak berjasa kpd Negara.
    Akhirkata buat Negarawanku, dimana akan ku cari ganti – jasamu dikenang.

  225. Assalamualaikum Dr M,
    sorry if this is off topic.
    Few commenter mention about your blog value. i believe your blog cant be measured by $$$. However you got pretty good traffics here, A page Rank 5 on Google and impressive 14,609 traffic rank on Alexa within a short time. Have a look at your blog traffic fluctuation here:
    http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/chedet.com
    I hope the graph gives u some hint to write better input for naive rakyat like me.
    With good monetization tactics i believe you can generate a good money from this blog. The money can be used for any humanitarian purpose ; maybe for your “no war” campaign, anything for the ppl or anything usefull. It will become another breakthrough in blogging history. Dont get me wrong, i know you can use your pocket money of sponsors for any of your campaign BUT if you do not exploit your impressive blog to the max it will become another RUBBISH down the drain ;). Hey im not off topic actually!
    Tq for reading my not so brilliant suggestion.

  226. Interview with BBC.
    where did these people get their information from?seems like from PKR. because PKR votes always make believe that Anwar saves malaysia from the financial crisis in 97. but everyone in malaysia knows the truth.
    Comments
    everyone of those who wrote that crisis in malaysia started when you are the prime minister, i would call them idiots.that is why they supported PKR.because they let themselves to be blinded by all the PKR lies.they even believe Anwar is the savior of Malaysia even after much misdeed he had done.and they even claimed it to be government conspiracy.they must have been watching to much movies.that is why their level of intelligence is very, VERY, low.
    Rubbish
    Sir, I couldn’t agree more and good joke by the way.I’m studying in Australia and i am very impressed with the garbage handling here.it is so clean. even the garbage truck is not smelly and only one person handling the garbage pickup. it is so efficient. the incinerator is very good idea.it should be implemented.but i just don’t get it. why people keep protesting. smells like PR meddling in.anyway everything is about politic in malaysia.so why leaves the incinerator issue behind.these protester rather see stadium hang jebat in melaka, skylined by high hills of rubbish and smells bad i guess.their cars pollute even more than the incinerator.why not protest the usage of cars then.these guys are IDIOTS!

  227. Y.A.Bhg Tun Yg dihormati,
    The pegging of ringgit was a brilliant idea and it takes only a group of brilliant and dedicated Malaysians able to do that…We dont need IMF to tell us what to do and how to run our country…look at the what happened to our neighbouring country who sought IMF economic recovery…they are still in turmoil until these days…
    Our so called “IMF advisor” (DSAI) can take a back sit in his claimed for his economic recovery plan CLOB…when others had put so much work into it…..anyway…It will be a waste of time talking about him…that no good SOB.
    Anyway, this incinerators is a workable plan in our society…coz we do have too many ‘rubbish dumbs’ everywhere, especially in our political party movements…MIC, Umno, MCA, PPP & Gerakan etc…most of these rubbish needs to be flush and burnt…if they think they want to earn the people vote and confidence again….they will have to do better than today…there’s too many people still standing on the fencing…not interested to vote for opposition neither BN…sad but true…
    Look at the Umno members….money politics, corrupted, ungrateful bunch of politicians…take only when they need…orang kampung dah fed up…”the rakyat knows”
    The MCA…too many corrupted MP’s…too many cases involving unlawful things…etc…”the rakyat knows”
    MIC…dispute amongst themselves….Samy Vellu not distributing wealth equally to downliners…cronism…”the rakyat know” and its time for him to leave….give it to the younger generation…how much more money does he wants?
    Now today…look at PKR leaders…MB of Selangor…TS Khalid…what is he thinking?….he’s just another hopeless SOB…can’t he read between the lines…and again “the rakyat knows”
    All these parties of corrupted people will have to start looking inwards and go down to the grass roots to amend all this huge problems before it gets too serious…
    As far as the opposition are concern…they are just plain lucky to be in their current position as the people are tired of the current leaders within the Government…People need a true sincere leadership…

  228. Yang dihormati Tun,
    DSAI memang begitu .. but no worries Tun, we Malaysians know the truth.. DSAI – u try to get credit over something that u had not done.. u are a shame!
    Pemimpin pembangkang, macam DSAI yang terang-terangan menolak dasar ketuanan Melayu disokong habis-habisan oleh orang Melayu sendiri..tidakkah mereka sedar nasib yang bakal ditimpa.. inilah kesannya kalau seseorang itu terlampau fanatik..yang nyatanya mereka ini disogokkan dengan kata-kata manis DSAI yang kononnya akan membela mereka.. kena tipu lagi sekali..kalau ye pun suka sangat DSAI takkan tak boleh buka mata lagi atas apa yg dah berlaku di sekeliling..isu UITM, PKNS, ladang babi, bahasa Jawi..ish..macam-macam lagi lah….
    DSAI sudah jelas lagi nyata mengutamakan agenda personalnya untuk mendapat kuasa hingga sanggup menggadai maruah bangsa..yelah DSAI kan pandai berpolitik, depan orang Melayu dikatanya lain, depan Cina dan India, dikatanya lain..malangnya orang Melayu ni mudah sangat ditipu..bukan macam orang cina dan india.. i really salute them..tak mudah ditipu..tengok le setakat ini, apa yg diperjuangkan oleh Pakatan Rakyat semuanya memihak kepada kaum cina & india..
    Oleh kerana bijaknya DSAI berpolitik, dapatlah beliau sokongan padu orang bukan Melayu (sememangnya orang bukan Melayu tertarik untuk sokong DSAI disebabkan kenyataan2/dasar2 DSAI yang berjanji untuk menarik-balik hak-hak orang Melayu). Selain itu, dapat juga beliau sokongan sebilangan orang Melayu sebab beliau menyedari terdapat orang Melayu yang maaf cakap, sentimental, emosional.. tapi tak realistik, tak berpandangan jauh, tak fikir panjang. Tapi ingat bukan semua orang Melayu begitu! Dan DSAI perlu ingat juga, walaupun beliau mendapat kuasa disebabkan percaturan in, beliau akan dikenang sebagai pengkhianat bangsa..
    Kepada penyokong2 DSAI,
    Bukalah mata dan minda.. lihatlah apa yg sudah terjadi.. lepas satu, satu isu mengenai kepentingan Melayu dikorbankan..bila sesatu-satunya kuasa yang dipunyai oleh Melayu pada masa ini, iaitu kuasa politik, nanti benar2 hilang, sudah terlambat dan amat sukar untuk ianya diperbetulkan..jangan kita jadi macam orang pribumi di Singapura dan negara-negara Amerika Selatan..rakyat kelas kedua..
    Saya amat risau dengan nasib orang Melayu…please do something Tun..
    Salam sejahtera..

  229. Tun, it seems that Anwar is good at claiming a lot of unsubstantiated credits for himself. He has also been claiming to be able to form the federal government and to bring in foreign direct investment to Malaysia. Probably he never heard the boy-who-cry-wolf story. I won’t be surprise if he claims to be the first Malaysian to orbit the Earth.

  230. Tun,Is another project to fatten the cronies’s pockets.No projects in malaysia is successful without pocketing commissions.Ask yourself how much you and your children pocketed during your 22 years in power!
    Pocketing commissions is one thing but the projects are always substandard.See the hospital in Johor infected with fungus,Parliament house leaking,flyovers cracking,putrajaya parking problem,twintowers losing money etc.The list too long!
    We need projects but not the corrupted gov’t.That day will be coming soon.We will throw out BN in due time.

  231. Tun, I totally support the idea of building the super incinerator to reduce our rubbish and waste problems. I was in Europe recently and I saw a few incinerators built and operated within close vicinity of some commercial and industrial areas in such advanced countries. If people of those countries who are very sensitive to environmental impact on their lives could accept those incinerators within their neighbourhood, there is really no reason why Malaysians cannot accept it. The same rationale should apply to the building of nuclear reactors for energy. Malaysia should also brace itself for the nuclear energy era and should adopt a more pragmatic approach to the implementation of the masterplan for the building of nuclear reactors for energy especially now when the new technologies are making nuclear reactors very safe. We canot depend forever on petroleum as the only major source of energy. Other methods for generating energy like the wind turbines and solar energy technologies which are well implemented in Europe should also be seriously looked into by our government.

  232. Assalammualaikum Tun.
    Terlebih dahulu saya ingin mengucapkan jutaan Terima Kasih kepada Tun atas segala kejayaan yang telah Malaysia kecapi sekarang oleh kerana perancangan yang telah Tun serta pihak Kerajaan yang lain buat sebelum meletak jawatan sebagai PM.
    Walau bagaimana pun, saya amat kesal serta terharu dengan sikap orang-orang Melayu kita yang kebanyakannya amat malas dan tidak pernah bersyukur.
    Perlu difahamkan bahawa kemajuan dan kemakmuran Negara bukan terletak hanya kepada Kerajaan yang berwibawa dan amanah sahaja tetapi ia juga tanggung jawap rakyat bersama.
    Sebagai contoh, apabila sesuatu perkara yang tak baik terjadi seperti banjir di kawasan yang tertentu, rakyat akan serta merta menyalahkan Kerajaan kerana tak berbuat apa-apa untuk mencegah kebanjiran itu dari berlaku. Bila pihak Kerajaan membuat siasatan, mereka mendapati sungai yang ada penuh sesak dengan sampah sarap dan itu telah menjejaskan pengaliran air sungai. Soalan saya buat bangsa yang di cintai, “Sampah-sampah yang telah mengakibat kan sungai yang tersumbat itu datang nya dari mana? Pihak Kerajaan ke yang membuang sampah dalam sungai itu?” Penyalahan yang telah mereka buat semua atas dasar kemalasan dan kebodohan mereka sendiri. Tetapi pihak Kerajaan juga yang di salah kan mereka.
    Memang saya tak nafikan ada banyak badan-badan Kerajaan yang tak amanah. Mungkin kerana dah terlalu banyak makan rasuah, ia sudah sebati dengan darah daging mereka. Tetapi sebagai rakyat dan “tuan rumah” tak boleh lah nak buat sesuatu yang boleh menjejaskan Bangsa dan Negara oleh kerana pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawap itu. Setiap individu ada peranan masing-masing untuk memakmur kan bumi yang bertuah ini. Kerajaan harus membuat perancangan yang teliti dan rakyat pula harus menjalan kan apa yang telah di rancangkan oleh Kerajaan. Saya berkata dari pengalaman saya setelah 35 tahun hidup di Singapura. Perpaduan antara rakyat dengan Kerajaan adalah satu kemestian demi kemakmuran negara yang di cintai ini.
    Bersatu lah sebelum terlambat.
    Bersatu lah sebelum orang-orang Melayu di tindas di bumi sendiri.
    Bersatu lah sebelum Raja kita di ganti kan dengan President.
    Mereka tak perlu kan bom nuclear atau kuasa-kuasa besar untuk merampas kuasa dari orang-orang kita, cukup dengan kepandaian menipu dan berpura-pura disertakan dengan perpaduan antara mereka dah cukup untuk mereka membuat kita orang-orang Melayu yang sedang berpecah belah sekarang ini hidup di bawah telunjuk mereka.
    Percaya lah wahai bangsa-bangsa ku yang dikasihi pada kata-kata ku ini. Perkara sebergini sudah pun berlaku dan pernindasan terhadap orang-orang Melayu akan terjadi pada kita atau pun anak cucu kita suatu hari nanti jika kita masih lagi mahu bertikam lidah sesama sendiri. Mungkin 1000 tahun lagi. Mungkin 100 tahun lagi.
    Mungkin esok…….. Wasalam……

  233. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda
    MMMM… ramai yang akan mengenali dan menghargai Tun bila mereka ke luar negara… mentaliti rakyat Malaysia kini adalah mentaliti yang jauh terkebelakang… saya dan keluarga mangasingkan setiap sampah sarap yang telah dibuang, namun PBT masukkan semua dalam lori.. mmm jadi kalau orang-orang PBT pun tak boleh nak berubah, masyarakat tak akan berubah…

  234. Salam,
    saya sempat mendengar pandangan tun di ASTRO AWANI.
    Komen Tun mengatakan orang UMNO menghalang orang bijak pandai masuk UMNO itu ada kebenarannya. Apabila ada orang Melayu yang nampak ada tokoh dan berpelajaran tinggi serta berpengalaman makan ia akan di lambat-lambatkan untuk diterima untuk menjadi ahli UMNO , malahan kalau orang ini memberi pandangan pun, ia diputar balikkan yang orang itu seolah-olah sedang meunjuk-nunjuk serta kurang beradap. Entah lah , hati orang Melayu selalu kua berdengki dan terus berdengki ….

  235. Dearest Tun,
    Those people whom I know rejecting the idea of the incinerator are not the anti development type but the kind of “what comes from the Gov is not good for you” type and if anything bad happened “I told you so” type of people. Just do it to benefit all malaysian and rest assured it will works, and those kind of people will become “I deserve this” type.
    Anyway I m sick of building houses on landfill area. Im living on one too.
    Recycling need to be implemented in school for the future generation. Adults nowadays are too stubborn & lazy to change.
    Lastly, Tun your contribution is NEVER enough.

  236. Tun,
    I know people can argue & quarrel on internet even.I have no time for such things.Tun “This Landfill & polluted issues are very important for the nation.”I wonder why Tun when you were the PM for 22 yrs Tun did not push for the building of incinerators to dispose off rubbish.Now that Tun still have influence on Govt Tun can do the Rakyat a big favour by advising on this matter.I know nobody wants an incinerator at his backyard.But if the Govt compensates fairly I’m sure people would relocate for the common good.Before Tun highlighted you would still dare to drink a glass of water at kopitiam or restaurant without thinking twice but not now.You prefer to go for the safer mineral water.If the Govt cannot get local experts to build they should quickly get foreign expertise to do it at whatever cost before it is too late.Need to protect the source of our drinking water ie the water-catchment areas.

  237. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    My name as mentioned above, and now I’m as R&D Engineer at Kulai, Johor. You’re one of my idola. Some points that make Tun to be my Idola, I’m also was a Kolej Sultan Abdul Hamid student, your birthday not too much different than me, Tun also from Alor Setar,Kedah same like me and lastly your achievement since as a Perdana Menteri of Malaysia. I’m really glad of that. Hopeful, one day I’ll be like Tun and making Malaysia technology, economy and etc become the best in the world. Insya’allah.
    I’m here don’t wanna talk about politics too much, I think better we’re talking about future of Malaysia and our Islam brother & sister. It’s mean the way how to achieved it and be the big power in asia especially in technology & market trade.
    From my discovery and information on Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Johor have been give a big impact to Singapore market. This is caused by the PTP port system and technology is higher than the Singapore port. All contennas might be move from time to time very fast. This phenomena was make many big company arround the world focussed on us to run business trade in Asia especially in this area. Arround the PTP area also become a lot of manufacturing area and most of them are under construction.
    I think better write in Bahasa Malaysia. My English not too good and too bad. Sorry Tun!
    CADANGAN SAYA:
    Apa yang saya lihat untuk PTP, ianya telah mengugat sedikit sebanyak terhadap perlabuhan dan ekonomi di Singapura dan negara sekitarnya. (Disini bukanlah saya bertujuan untuk mencemburui dengan mana2 negara, tetapi ingin menjadi pesaing yang hebat.)
    Saya mencadangkan, Kerajaan Malaysia perlu mewujudkan Pelabuhan yang sedemikian dibahagian Barat-Utara dan Timur-Utara. Manakala diantara kedua-dua perlabuhan tersebut disediakan satu laluan keretapi yang besar untuk mengangkut barang2 dari kapal2 untuk ke barat dan ke timur.
    Ini akan menyebabkan negara2 yang berada disebelah utara bumi Malaysia akan… tak tahu saya nak cakap. Ekonomi Malaysia dengan negara yang berada pada bahagian tersebut juga akan tertumpu kepada kita untuk mengadakan export-import dengan kita. Rancangan ini pasti berjaya, tetapi dengan syarat, Thailand tidak mengikut jejak langkah kita. kerana jarak untuk menyeberangi dari timur ke barat tidak jauh ketara. Manakala China agak sukar untuk melakukannya, kerana negara mereka yang terlalu besar, perbelanjaan yang terlalu tinggi diperlukan, jikalau bolehpun, ianya tidak berapa sesuai untuk masa ini.
    Selain itu, PTP akan berfungsi untuk mengawal perdagangan dengan negara seperti Australia, filipina, indonesia dan selainnya disebelah Selatan bumi Malaysia.
    Bagi mengelakkan Thailand meniru jejak langkah kita, adakan satu lagi laluan keretapi pengangkut yang besar dari PTP ke perlabuhan disebelah Utara, iaitu di antara perlabuhan yang saya terangkan tadi.(PERLABUHAN SEGITIGA ASIA).
    Insyaallah pasti berjaya!
    Diharap, jikalau ianya menjadi kenyataan, biarlah ianya diketuai dan dimiliki oleh anak bumiputra Islam Malaysia. Manakala yang bukan bumiputra sebagai peneraju projek.
    Sekian sahaja cadangan saya, diharap Tun dapat merenung dan memberi sedikit tunjuk ajar kepada saya dari cadangan yang diberikan. Tujuan saya hanyalah untuk memajukan negara tercinta. Insyaallah, jikalau ada masa, saya akan sampaikan lagi cadangan saya yang hebat2 untuk kemajuan negara dan agama kita. Sekian terima kasih. Assalamualaikum.
    Yang Benar,
    AHMAD FARIZ BIN DATO PADUKA HAJI AHMAD BASRI BIN MOHD AKIL

    comments
    1. hopefully im not one of ‘them’
    rubbish
    1. sikap orang melayu perlu di ubah terhadap aspek ini. bermula dari unit rumah ke kawasan pembuangan sampah, rantaian ini perlu dikaji perlu sistemnya.
    2. di bne au, penduduk dibekalkan dengan satu tong sampah setiap unit, & pada hari tertentu lori sampah akan datang collect. pada hari itu akan kelihatan tong-tong sampah di susun di hadapan rumah masing-masing, & simpan setelah selesai. recycle bin juga diberi.
    3. displin ini amat penting kerana ia sedikit sebanyak mencerminkan imej penduduk setempat. no more dirty environment.
    4. majlis perlu perjelaskan langkah-langkah pelupusan sampah yang digunakan, projection kawasan pelupusan, method yang sedang & akan dilaksanakan untuk kepentingan generasi akan datang serta persekitaran.
    5. islam mementingkan kebersihan
    6. berdasarkan fakta-fakta yang hce det berikan, teknik pelupusan yang sedang digunapakai di jepun perlu dipelajari & dilihat kesesuaian penggunaannya di malaysia perlu.
    7. sebelum teknik ini dipelajari, teknik pelupusan manusia yang berperangai & berkata-kata seperti sampah diperingkat atasan perlu juga dikaji bagi memudahkan sebarang teknologi dibawa masuk ke malaysia di masa akan datang tanpa melibatkan kepentingan individu-individu yang berperangai seperti sampah ini kerana mereka ini lebih takut kepada bpr berbanding Allah s.w.t.

  239. @ sdahenan,
    Setakat pengetahuan saya tiada sesiapapun yang melantik engkau sebagai jurucakap mewakili jutaan penduduk Malaysia. Jikalau engkau hendak megampu kepada Mahathir, itu hak anda. Tetapi janganlah besar kepala sehingga berkhayal bahawa pandangan persendirian kamu mewakili pandangan jutaan rakyat Malaysia. Apakah kamu diundi sebagai wakil orang ramai? Apakah pernah kamu membuat bancian? Tindakan sebegini hanya menunjukkan betapa dangkalnya akal engkau, kerana ini hanyalah khayalan engkau diri sendiri.
    Jikalau kamu turut akur bahawa Mahathir memang pernah melakukan kesalahan, apa pula salahnya saya mengingatkan dia yang nampaknya sedang nyanyuk dan hanya tahu menyalahkan orang lain tentang salah-salahnya sendiri? Ataupun hanya Mahathir yang dibenarkan mengutuk dan menyerang orang lain, dan kesalahan diri sendirinya tidak dibenarkan diungkit langsung? Inilah bezanya antara “worshipping” dan “having high respect”. Orang yang mempunyai “high respect” masih berpegang kepada pandangan yang waras, dan bukan hanya tahu mengampu dengan membuta-tuli.
    You sendiri fikir fikirkan lah.

  240. Hallo,
    Eh talking about Anwar he seems quietly lately, why?
    Hes so quiet when hes buddy USA falls bankcrupt a few months ago, what happen?, “Uncle Sam” cant give money anymore ka?

  241. Kepada TUN Yang Amat amat saya hormati…..
    Orang barat amat mengambil berat akan diri pengkhianat UMNO dipanggil AI.. Kenapa ye>? jawapan yang kita sendiri sudah maklum..
    sebab itu pepatah melayu ada mengatakan lembu punya susu sapi dapat nama. Buat kelakar jer. AI cuma tau nak menjahanamkan malaysia asalkan depa dapat jadi PM. Kurang berakalkah penyokong keadilan yang parti itu ditubuhkan semata – mata kerana seorang manusia?
    Hidup UMNO. Hidup TUN.

  243. Asalamualaikum Tun yang di hormati…mengenai isu sampah yang Tun utarakan pada kali ini, saya ingin menyatakan bahawa punca segala pemasalahan sampah yang melanda negara kita kini adalah kerana sikap dan mentality kita yang masih tidak berubah mengikut peredaran masa….sudah sampai masanya kesedaran mengenai kebersihan dan pentingnya menjaga kebersihan ini di ajar di sekolah2 rendah dan penguatkuasaan yang lebih tegas diimplemen kan.Teknologi incinerators yang telah terbukti berkesan haruslah segera digunakan di Malaysia….Dasar Pandang Ke Timur Masih lagi Relevan untuk di ikuti dan amalkan….

  244. Assalamualaikum….
    Benar….memang benar!!!
    kebanyakan perkara yang
    berlaku pada hari ini
    adalah warisan semenjak
    Tun memerintah dahulu…..
    namun ketika itu semua
    perkara tersebut tidak
    digembar-gemburkan….
    Sebagai contoh:Tiada
    pertandingan merebut
    jawatan Presiden dan
    Timbalan Presiden…itu
    kehendak Tun Dahulu
    yang kini telah dimansuhkan.
    sebenarnya banyak perkara
    berlaku sewaktu Tun dahulu
    dan berterusan sehingga
    kini….Kroni…DLL.
    Jangan buat-buat lupa
    dan mengaku bersih,
    ramai yang masih ingat.
    Incinerators telah di-
    bincangkan semenjak tahun
    2003 tetapi hingga kini
    tiada perkembangan seperti
    yang diharapkan,semoga
    Najib akan melaksanakannya
    secepat mungkin bila dia
    memerintah kelak.
    Bagaimana pun Tun tetap
    dianggap perdana menteri
    paling berjaya setakat ini
    dan mempunyai pengikut serta
    penyokong setia yang ramai.
    Tun sekarang seperti
    cuba memperbetulkan segala
    kesilapan lalu dan itulah
    yang sepatutnya Tun lakukan.
    Wassalam

  245. Assalamualaikum Tun
    Hope you’re in a healthy condition and blessful from Allah SWT.
    This is my first time in joining your blog & I’m glad to be one your team. Actually, my birthday also not to much different than Tun.20 December 1977.
    FYI, I have a good idea in the way to make Malaysia the really powerful country in asia and how to monopolize the asia market and make Malaysia is a main power in asia. However it’s only an idea, and and advice from the experienced experties too.

  246. Why are you blaming everything on the government and the ordinary people? You did not solve the problems amidst the civil servants in the various government bodies and departments. The major problem is corruption amongst the civil servants, asking for bribes for everything even if one has complied with all the standard procedures and requirements. The next problem is their lackasaidal attitude and complacency in performing their duties.
    We have local authorities but still there are illegal buildings and factories. The rubbish and wild bushes are everywhere. They are working in the interests of the public. We still have buyers being swindled by the developers and the developers go scot free.
    We have government agencies like RISDA and FELCRA swindling the settlers. We have land and geological department that indulge in illegal land deals and selling of sands. The forestry department that allow all our trees to be cut down at random with all illegal activities. The anti corruption agency which is not doing anything substantial. The PUSPAKOM which issues permits without proper checking. The anti drug agency which has not able to reduce the dadah addicts and the drug business in the country. The department of environment which is not able to save Cameron Highlands….. the list can go on and on….. HOW DO YOU EXPECT THAT THE INCENERATOR WILL BE AS CLEAN AND EFFECTIVE AS THE ONES IN JAPAN IF THE WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE INVOLVED ARE THE ONES MANAGING ALL THE AGENCIES I HAVE JUST LISTED OUT?? Look at the MRR issue. Moreover the price would be exobrbitantly high similar to the purchase of the Sukhoi planes, Scorpene submarine and lately the Eurocopter!

  247. @ moderato,
    “Let me answer you the question that you asked Tun, no need Tun to answer lah, I am a normal citizen of Malaysia can answer you lah: Your question: “With all the natural resources that Malaysia has and Singapore does not, why Malaysia has not been capable of catching up with this close neighbour in many areas such as the average income of the people, inflation, education level, public infrastructure, housing and it’s global financial status” My Answer: Because we do not like to rob from the poor to make the country rich, faham…..!!!!”
    Unfortunately we HAVE been robbing all this while. It was Mahathir himself who confirmed that non-Bumiputera pay 90% of the country’s taxes, while it is the Bumiputera who are in charge of the country and form the majority of the population. And even with this robbing we are STILL unable to compete with the tiny speck of snot beneath us that is Singapore. Fifty years ago Malaysia was better off in every way compared to Singapore. We have had land, manpower, and natural resources while Singapore even has to recycle its toilet water into NeWater. And where are we today? Even without the NEP, even without the various racist and one-sided policies backing them, even the Malays in Singapore are more well-off than the Malays in MALAYsia.
    This is like a 500m race between a lame-legged cripple and a healthy full-bodied person. The cripple had to start at the finish line, while the healthy contestant started at the 300m mark. And much to the disbelief and amazement of many, THE CRIPPLE WON. I suggest you ask your dear Tun why this happened.

  248. Salam Tun,
    semoga Tun sentiasa sihat sejahtera. Saya sentiasa mengkagumi Tun sebagaimana saya mengkagumi arwah bapa saya.Dia sama usia dengan Tun semasa dia meninggal.Dia seorang imam di kawasan perumahan dia tinggal. Di sentiasa berfikiran ke hadapan dan sentiasa menggalakkan anak cucu dia mengejar ilmu.
    Pada saya secara peribadi, saya rasa kehilngan bila Tun tidak memimpin kerajaan lagi. banyak yang Tun telah lakukan semasa Tun dalam kerajaan dan setiap rakyat dalam semua peringkat dan golongan telah mendapat faedah dan keuntungan secara langsung atau tidak. Kalau lah Tun boleh kembali dalam kerajaan dan memimpin semula, pada saya adalah satu rahmat.
    Akhir kata semoga Allah panjangkan usia Tun dan Tun sentiasa sihat sejahtera. satu lagi kita ada persamaan. Saya juga di lahir pada 20hb.Dec….

  249. Salam Tun
    The only way I could do is write something in my blog. I’m just a layman who would shed a tear whenever I try to put myself in your shoes. I started writing in my blog when I couldn’t stand getting pissed off with everything that is happening.
    My opinion about the present government’s mind set and the way things are being managed is :
    “They complicate simple things, ignorant of critical issues, became complacent within the successes that you had left behind, unable to accept own weaknesses and listen to the right advice from the man that has made everything real”.
    I love you Tun.

  250. Dear Tun,
    Benson Gampawi, a delegate from Kota Marudu, said: “Pak Lah is a darling of PBS. Without him, we might not be in the BN. He deserves a standing ovation. Pak Lah is our idol who … enabled us to be part of the mainstream political arena again.”
    Joos Galid, a delegate from Kiulu, said Abdullah had done a lot for the people of Sabah, particularly in implementing the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) blueprint.
    “He is a visionary and a moderate leader. I admire his farsightedness and his vision for Sabah and I’m saddened that he will retire soon.”
    comment:
    kah, kah, kah !! I am a bit “disappointed” that they don’t acknowledge him as “CHAMPION” !!

  251. Rubbish is that politician yang mempertikaikan justeru menggegarkan kewibaan bangsa nya sendiri untuk mendapatkan
    sokongan dari kaum lain dalam dan luar negara.
    Rubbish is that group of manusia yang dengan mudahnya mendengar berita melalui newspaper dan electronic media sama ada local
    atau foreign serta laman2 blog yang kemudiannya memertabatkan beliau sebagai pemidato unggul kerana suka dengan gaya
    bengisnya,suara garangnya, gerak sombong,lagak bongkaknya seperti lelaki gagah yang intellectual yang hakikatnya berhati kering.
    Dan dengan sengaja mengandingkan semuanya itu dengan imej dan gaya yang di pinjam dari award winning
    actor supaya mendapat pengiktirafan yang cepat.Nevermind whats said, hows said is much more effective. Destructive ??
    Ini bukan hollywood or bollywood ini masa depan kita .Cubalah cari sendiri , mula2 kita kena ketepikan image award winning
    actor daripada politician itu dan dengan hati yang jujur cubalah buat huraian apa yang diperkatakanya , ambil kira tempias dari
    perkataan2 nya itu kepada bangsa kita, kenapa dia sanggup berkata demikian dan apakah musibahnya kepada kita.
    Dia mahu membawa kita ke suatu tempat, tetapi adakah itu tempat yang kita mahu tujui ???
    Jadikan apa yang berlaku sekarang..sebagai petunjuk untuk kita.
    Ini lah rubbish paling dahsyat tapi murah dan senang untuk di uruskan.Masa dan kesedaran akan menentukan.
    Lagipun ia buatan manusia hanya manusia saja yang berupaya mengurusnya.Tak lah mahal,cuma guna masa dan fikiran sahaja.Dan yang lainnya akan follow suit.
    Sebagai rakyat yang tahu membaca dan menilai, kami tahu siapa yang buat apa. Kebenaran akan kami sampaikan kepada anak cucu kami.
    Kayu ukur kami bukan pengiktirafan media antarabangsa, tapi anak2 dan cucu kami yang akan mengambil alih satu masa nanti.
    Kami tahu who, how where and what.Kalau sejarah tidak menceritakannya atau cuba memutarbelitkannya biarlah maklumat itu sentiasa
    dipertikaikan supaya si dalang yang mencetuskannya tidak senang duduknya kerana perhitungan dunia dan ahirat adalah rahsia Pencipta.
    Itulah kami minta supaya Tun mendidik minda kami supaya terus moves forward , belajar guna fakta [bukan seperti some of them – air liur saja
    sudah boleh menang sorak] untuk kami menilai dan merumuskan sendiri.
    Now it seems that collective power is pottrayed as an evil force set to the enlightened self interest of individuals.Of lates this what we feel
    and thus a factor for our lost interest to vote..Insyallah kalau di perbetuli , kami yang tidak mengundi ni akan keluar mengundi semula
    [tak dapat tidak kami mahu Dato’ Mukhriz dipilih. KJ dan KT failed – why nak give them 2nd chance].
    Kami masih percaya yang hanya UMNO sahaja boleh memertabatkan orang melayu.
    Ketuanan Melayu adalah untuk orang melayu. Usaha untuk hapuskan perkataan itu dari kamus orang melayu adalah biadap.
    Bertambah biadapnya bila orang melayu itu sendiri bersekongkol.
    Terima kasih kepada Tun berdua. Salam hormat dari kami, semuga Tun berdua dikurniakan minda dan tenaga yang kuat.
    Assalammualaikum.

  252. Dear Tun,
    Sorry to divert the main issue.
    Pada saya Khir Toyo tak guna satu sen. Tidak boleh jadi pemimpin besar UMNO. Dia patut tidak boleh diberi ruang dan tempat lagi dalam UMNO. Peluang sudah diberi kapadanya tapi dia telah memperlihatkan kelemahannya sebagai pemimpin. JANGAN PILIH KHIR TOYO. Gunakan akal kita sebijak-bijaknya. Akal kita “MAHAL” dianugerah oleh Allah.Banyak ayat dalam Quran Allah berfirman supaya manusia gunakan AKAL untuk menuju kejayaaan didunia dan akhirat.

  253. Tun
    am dissapointed you’ve put me in the buckets of those who you’ve said haven’t given you a constructive argument to your vile rantings about the Govt.
    In fact, I’ve even asked you to justify your comments about the Govt especially where you have not provided the basis for your comments, and you never respond to my questions.
    So for you to make an insensitive comment that “those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.” is grossly unfair.
    I would like to constructively argue with you provided you respond to my counter arguments and questions.
    Given the current theme in Malaysia is about proposing a debate between those with difference of opinion, what about us debating on a number of your claims against PM Abdullah (specifically) and decisions made by him which is where you have been targeting most of your criticisms at?
    Pls. don’t wait for months and then publish another article saying no one wants to challenge your views – I am open to challenging them with facts and information provided you give me a chance…
    BTW, I hope you will respond, and not your supporters…
    (Ravi)

  254. Dear Tun,
    It is not the citizens who do not want incinerators to be built in their areas. In actual fact it is this bloody instigators like the opposition parties, the elite few “so-called” acdemicians and environmental “specialists”, the idiotic NGOs who purposely want to fail the project as if they are trying to protect the naive citizens.
    These are the people to be blamed. Whatever explanation the government put forward, they will always find ways to oppose the project for their own popularity and vested interest.
    I treat these group of people as “DAH BODOH STUPIP”. If we keep on delaying the project it will soon make this project becoming more expensive to carry out.Just like how much more we have to add the cost of delaying the construction of the double track electric train going north. Billions!!!
    They say that there are other alternatives to clear the rubbish. The question is whether it is as efficient as having a modern incinerator.

  255. salam Tun,
    Thanks to Anthony Barcott (are you really a caucasian?)for your GLITTERING comments for Tun.
    excerpts;
    “By Anthony Barcott on November 1, 2008 7:37 PM
    Tun
    I think you are the greatest leader of the century. You have guided Malaysia to be one of the strongest and richest nation in the world and you gave successfully transformed the Malay into one of the brightest and most hard working race in the world. The following is your report card during your tenure:”
    Even though you didn’t sound sincere,it’s ok.At least you are not as dumb headed as some other psychos who keep appearing on this blog like sore wounds.
    May I add a few more suggestions..
    1.Tun managed to turn Malaysia from an agriculture based economy to an industrialised one during his tenure
    2.Tun managed to transform a generation of Malays who can now build cars
    3.Tun was regarded as the voice of developing countries who courageously stood up to Western hegemonies and one-sided policies,as in the case of the stolen lands of the Palestinians and the apartheid Israelis.
    (by the way,are you a westerner from those countries that happily deny the Palestinians their rights?)
    4.Tun’s glittering handling of the 97 financial crisis which DSAI tried to claim as his,which would have resulted in tens of thousands of ordinary citizens losing their jobs and properties.You wouldn’t know how it feel,don’t you?Since you are most probably not a citizen of this unique multi-racial country..
    LOOK…NEVER COMPARE MALAYSIA WITH ANOTHER COUNTRY AS EACH HAS IT’S OWN ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES,IT’S OWN SET OF PROBLEMS AND LOGISTICS.I AM A PROUD MALAYSIAN CITIZEN ALTHOUGH I WAS BORN IN SINGAPORE.
    WE ARE ONLY 51 YEARS OLD.
    WHO KNOWS IN THE NEXT 50 YEARS MALAYS COULD BECOME VERY SUCCESSFUL IN BUSINESS,PRODUCE NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS,BUILD IT’S OWN ROCKETS…AND BETTER STILL…SINGAPORE MIGHT REJOIN THE FEDERATION!
    Jeng3

  256. Dear Tun,
    Interview;
    A BBC journalist having his fact wrong! BBC is a respected news agency yet they can make such a serious error. You should send a protest note to the BBC management. See if they will handle it the way they are handling the row over the two presenters who caused a big blunder, recently. The presenters were suspended and one of the person in-charge of their program had to resign.
    Comments;
    As for the unclouted comments – let it be – lets take it as psychological / emotional therapy or even anger management for them. Without this outlet for their internal negative feelings that they habour – they could be become a danger to others – maybe even distructive to people around them 😉
    Lets take these comments in our stride and pray for their well being. For those withou a sane argument to their claims there is nothing to answer to.
    For most of the comments – Tun had actually addresses the issues in his earlier postings. Tun took pains to explain his actions to most controversial issue when he was the PM and now as ex-PM. Please read them.
    Rubbish;
    Pessimism will get us no where. We need to go into the future full of optimism. “Malaysia Boleh!” was a phrase coined by Tun’s administration. Its purpose was just that – to create the optimism and self believe that Malaysia and Malaysians Can! Every opportunity to support this ideal was showcased and ample publicity given.
    Malaysia Boleh! If we put our collective minds to it we can overcome any problems. And it is only with leader such as Tun – who can and will be able to create this collective willingness to do it!
    Yes rubbish is a problem – but more fundamentally is the need to create a situation where we need to improve on the maintenance of our infrastructure – especially those under the purview of Govenment Departments, be they Federal, City Council or Municipalities. There seem to be a lack of desire to excel in delivering the best to the users – the public! Perhaps laws may need to be change, procedures amended, personal upgraded , etc…but there need to be a refocusing of the KPIs for them. At the end of the day the users needs to be satisfied.
    We do not find this problem with Privately run infrastructures such as the North South Highway, Tol Roads, commercial buildings, etc…But the same cannot be said for goverment run (maintained assets, infrastructure & services).
    Tun – we need to look at this chronic problem seriously.
    Word has it that (not sure if this is true – but it does make some sense) the goverments servants like to build new infrastructures because of the substaintial “20% commission” where as for maintenance contracts is not worth their trouble…So there is no motivation to pursue such work???
    There is no free lunch – LKY’s favourite quote by Singaporeans – whatever improvements we seek has a cost. We must therefore be willing to pay for better service.
    Sincere
    Jamal

  257. Salam Tun and all,
    1. (I am smiling,Tun!)
    Wow, u very cleverly used the topic of Anwar before moving onto rubbish. Any coincidences? Anwar and Rubbish somehow strikes me as such a good pair!!!
    2. For those like Anthony Barcott, Kit Siang’s supporter, and others who simply love to compare Malaysia to Singapore, I have this comment to make. Singapore has like what, 4-5 million population? And Malaysia has almost 27 million now. Know what, I bet if we give Tun 4 million to govern, and I tell you, in no time he would’ve outshine ten Lee Kuan Yews. So, chill-out!!
    3. Rather than saying another country is better than ours let’s do something real to make our country better. What say you??.
    And stop sitting there and blaming everything on others.
    4. The problem with waste disposal and rubbish in Malaysia- It starts at home. If parents teach their children how to dispose of rubbish properly, we will soon have first-class citizens in terms of rubbish disposal. Otherwise, problem will remain.
    5. The problem of rubbish collection and management, those involved must be committed in their work, from the collectors to the planners and councilors. If at every stage of the system we have nonchalant attitudes towards their jobs, problem will remain.
    6. On the following matter that I intend to write, I speak only for myself. I am a Malay, educated, committed to my religion of Islam. I have friends from many cultures and I love all of them. I thank Allah for giving them to me, they add colours to my life and make me feel that my short life on this Earth worthwhile.
    7. I find that some of the writings here which pigeon-holed Malays as lazy; and chinese/Indians as greedy and ungrateful very hurtful. Some people have faults, be them Malays, Chinese or Indians, and any other ethic for that matter. Why must we try to downgrade others? I am not lazy, and I am Malay. And my success did not fall from the sky. I am not haughty even though I hold strongly to the fact that this is Tanah Melayu. My friends from other ethnics respect that, I know.
    8. Like wise, when I travel to India, Thailand, China, Saudi Arabia, I do not question the fact that those are their motherland. I have seen people of other ethnicities making good money there, but there is no animosity.
    9. So, why must there be animosity in us, Malaysians? Oh, please… don’t start by saying it is because of NEP. Any Tom, Dick and Harry who have made it rich in Malaysia will know that the NEP benefits all, Malays,Indians and Chinese too!! If the policy didn’t achieve its target of Bumi equity, blame it not on others. Question ourselves. Did we implement it as it was supposed to be implemented, Malays, Chinese and Indians of us here?(friends in Sabah and Sarawak included of course..).
    10. Tun had tried his best, he had set the way. We cannot expect him to follow through all his ideas. We have to do our fair share in making his good ideas work.
    11. If Tun had made mistakes,we can always point it out. The problem I see here is that, we say he made mistakes. BUT How those mistakes should really have been corrected were not mentioned.
    12. Tun had said he too made mistakes, eg, in appointing the current PM. Seeing how flip-flopping the current PM had been in his tenure, I say, Tun is trying his BEST to rectify this particular mistake, and I say it is almost accomplished, just not quite yet.
    13. So friends and fellow bloggers, each of us have our part to do to make Malaysia the best in the world. The multi-million ringgit question is, do we really want to??? I would never bad-mouthed my motherland to any one else in this world, and if any one wants to hurt my motherland, you have to walk over my dead body first.
    HUBBUL WATAN MINAL IMAN = To love Thy Country is part of faith.
    Salam Tun and all, Jaga diri, Jaga Solat.

    “Minister of Finance who implemented the IMF strategy without the IMF with disastrous results”
    Tun, do u dare to debate with DSAI regarding this slander? upps.. i dont think so 😉
    Jomlah, one debate for Tun Mahathir dengan DSAI. Nak tengok siapa yang terngah-ngah nanti. Kalo nak buat, buat live ya. Kalo nak buat prerecorded with a lot censor and 100% pro-kerajaan, kitorang ingat tu tak usah lah bazir masa. Lawan secara jantan.

  259. Tun
    You maybe a better leader than the current PM but you have also successfully marginalised the Chinese and Indians in many areas. The worse is you have spoon fed the Malays and you forgot to make them learn to stand on their own feet and equip them with the ability to compete with races from other countries.
    From all the comments posted in this blog i note that almost 90% of the Malaysian treat you like an idol. I am not trying to condemn them. I just feel Malaysian is still too shortsighted. Malaysian should go to other countries more often and widen their eye sight. To me, you are just an okay leader and there is nothing so great about you. You have run the country for 22 years but you have failed to make use of the natural resources bestowed in this land and transform Malaysia into a stronger nation like Singapore or Korea. Now even China has surpassed Malaysia in many areas. This is because Malaysia always compare itself to nations like Cambodia, Phillipnes or Costa Rica. Can Malaysia face the fierce competitions from other nations in face of globalisation? The Chinese and Indian can survive anywhere in the world because they learn to feed themselves without any helps from the government. Can the Malay survive in any part of the world?
    Conclusion: With all the easily contended mentality of Malaysian, no wonder Malaysia cannot be world class up to today.

  260. Dear Tun Dr Mahathir ,
    When did BBC interview Tun , recently ? If so , I presume that BBC staff must have not done his homework or maybe he has hidden agenda.
    On rubbish , what you say is true.
    It is sad to note that most people doesn’t mince their word with proof.
    Have a nice day and I am looking forward on your comments towards the coming Nov 4 , 2008 ( if I am not mistaken) a speech to be given by our present Finance Minister on ways to cushion the financial impact.

  261. Tun,
    What is important for nookvillage is that after March 2009 the new elected leaders in UMNO could lead Malaysia to a better place? Able to unite the total populace into strong togetherness society.Fair to all with special emphasis on the poor.It is also hoping the new set of leadership could be able to bring down drastically corruption as it is a silent killer to the nation. Corruption is the killer!

  262. 1. I totally agreed that Malaysia will be facing deep trouble with rubbish in near future if no proper equipments are used to solve it.
    2. But Malaysia always do things inefficiently. We always have “first class facility, but third class service”. The consumers pay “full” amount for their services, but in return, the company do not provide their “full” service to the consumers.
    3. Look at Astro, they are monopolizing the cable TV business in Malaysia. The subscribers pay full amount to them but in return they do not get the “full” service from them. It is very frastuated when you pay them more than RM100++ per month and yet get program interruption during rainy day.
    4. Same goes to Streamyx. You pay them “full” amount, but you never get the internet speed you pay to get. You will always get a slower internet speed. When you call their technical support, they will blame on your “old” telephone line in your residential area. Hey, is that the comsumer’s problem?
    5. It will take me more than 100 pages to list down the “1st class facilities with 3rd class service” we get in Malaysia, even in the government departments. They have the best equipments in town and yet the Malaysians have to spend days and days to get anything done by the government depts.
    6. Having the modern and high tech incinerator is good for a country to solve their rubbish problem. But, will Malaysia people get the “full” of it after we spend billions of ringgit in this plant?
    7. Look at the infrastuctures in Malaysia, ie. roads, bridges, government building, etc. Malaysia built the “best” but still have to spend millions to maintain it every year.
    8. Is it true as what people always said, “another new government “toy” is another “new piggy bank” for them.

  263. Why don’t you spend some time writing about the acquittal of Razak Baginda which I think is a more pressing issue?

    Salam Tun,
    It is widely known that anwar is the ‘hero’ for getting M’sia out of the 1997 financial crisis.
    “In the midst of Asian Financial Crises of 1997, Anwar was hailed for guiding Malaysia through this period of instability. He backed free market principles and called for

  265. Salam, TDM dan TDSH,
    1)Saya rasa kalau TDM mengikut saja cadangan DSAI untuk mintak tolong IMF semasa krisis kewangan 1997-1998, pasti ekonomi negara kita dah jadi macam Indonesia sekarang ni. Saya sendiri sedih ketika melihat gambar Allahyarham Suharto ketika menandantangani perjanjian bantuan kewangan IMF, sama seperti menyembelih leher sendiri!!!!
    2) Kepada mereka yang suka sangat mengkritik TDM, sila dapatkan fakta-fakta dan bukti yang betul sebelum anda menghentam TDM. Sorry to say, TDM adalah seorang yang tidak akan BERTINDAK dan BERSUARA selagi tidak mendapat bukti dan fakta yang sahih!!! Kalau tidak, kenapa hanya selepas 2 tahun TDM baru mengkritik Pak Lah??? Dan TDM yang dikenali adalah seorang yang tegas dalam membuat keputusan dan tak pernah gentar dengan sesiapa!!! Sebab itu sehingga sekarang namanya tetap dikenali di seluruh dunia….Tak macam Pak Lah, penakut!!!! Pulak tu flip flop.. kejap macam tu, kejap macam ni…..
    TDM, TERIMA KASIH saya ucapkan kepada TDM kerana banyak memberikan sumbangan kepada negara Malaysia dan kepada kami, rakyatnya secara amnya… kerana sumbangan TDM, kami dapat mengecapi kehidupan yang aman dan makmur… saya bersyukur kepada Allah S.W.T kerana pernah dikurniakan seorang bekas pemimpin yang bijak dan sentiasa berpandangan jauh. Saya doakan agar TDM dikurniakan usia yang panjang supaya terus dapat mencurahkan pengalaman dan ilmu (ibadat juga tu) kepada kami semua…

  266. Salam Tun.
    I don’t think you remember me, when I met you before in 1993 in a Minangkabao style restuarant right in the heart of Bukit Bintang. You smiled at me while you were going for your buffet. But I was just an ordinary citizen. Actually I meant to ask at the pinacle of your power, why can’t the Malaysian PM erased corruption and make our country like for example Australia or Singapore? Isn’t it just simple to instruct all the enforcers to carry out the PM’s directive?

  267. asalamualaikum bapak….

  270. Assalamualaikum Tun, Bonda Siti dan kalian semua,
    Maaf lari topik sikit tapi masih pasal DSAI. Baru-baru ini saya ada sembang lama di kedai mamak dengan rakan-rakan wartawan, kawan lama kat UiTM dulu. Mereka ini wartawan dari Utusan, BH dan Bernama.
    Dalam sembang2 itu, mereka bercakap mengenai kehairanan mereka kenapa Tun biarkan Anwar semasa jadi TPM dulu menguasai media-media arus perdana termasuk Utusan, BH dan TV3.
    Mereka kata sepatutnya Tun yang memilih ketua-ketua pengarang tapi kenapa bagi mandat kepada DSAI pilih sendiri orang-orang untuk mengetuai media massa. Itu kesilapan terbesar sehingga ada ramai menteri, kata mereka, komplen yang sukar mendapat tempat untuk berita mereka tersiar kat dalam akhbar.
    Sebab itu saya pelik kenapa pembangkang dakwa zaman Tun dulu media tidak telus seperti zaman Pak Lah.
    Lagi satu,mereka kawan-kawan wartawan saya itu kata mereka seronok buat liputan sidang akhbar Tun kerana Tun tidak pernah marah-marah jika tanya soalan sensitif termasuk isu peribadi termasuk khabar angin yang kata Tun ada awek kat Filipina. Tun, kata mereka, tak pernah jatuhkan maruah wartawan walaupun mereka buat silap.
    Selain itu, rakan saya di Utusan beritahu sekarang ini ramai wartawan Utusan dah kecut perut dan takut nak lapor pasal kerajaan negeri di bawah kuasa PKR dan DAP, takut kena saman berjuta-juta.
    Apa pendapat Tun, jika akhbar seperti Utusan pun dah tersepit dengan isu saman berjuta-juta, akhbar mana lagi yang berani nak lapor kepincangan pentadbiran kerajaan pembangkang seperti isu pemberian beribu-ribu lot tanah kepada penduduk kampung baru di Perak, lantik Siew Moi jadi Pemangku Pengurus Besar PKNS, bubuh tulisan Mandarin dan Tamil di papan tanda jalan, mencabar hak istimewa Melayu dan sebagainya.
    Satu lagi Tun, saya ada terbaca dalam akhbar Keadilan yang kesal dengan akhbar Sinar Harian gara-gara akhbar itu tidak banyak lagi melaporkan tentang mereka. Bila letak story pembangkang muka depan, puji melambung, bila muka dalam marah-marah. Begitu juga nasib Utusan dan saya pasti, bila DSAI JADI PM KELAK, akhbar-akhbar seperti Utusan mungkin tidak lagi diperbaharui permit atau dalam erti kata lain, tiada lagi kebebasan akhbar. Melihat keapda sikap DAP yang asyik nak saman berjuta-juta ringgit jika silap sikit, saya percaya DAP hanya cakap saja nak kebebasan akhbar tapi bila perintah kelak, bersikap seperti abang mereka parti PAP di Singapura.
    HARAP TUN boleh komen sikit.

  271. Salam Tun and all readers,
    I’ve seen japanese after their smoke and couldn’t find any rubbish bin to throw in the ciggerets butt,… they put out the fire rap it with paper or tissue and kept it in their pocket… the best thing is they not just do it in their country but during in our country too…
    It is THE MIND SET / ATTITUDE / BEHAVIOUR…..
    Tapi Tun, masa Tun create dasar pandang ke timur… why you push on the technologies alone, you should push into civic minded too…
    Ni lagi satu hal… kita bnyak dengar “org melayu lemah lembut n berbudi bahasa” In my life n work experiance… I’ve seen and meets westerners that much more polite than we are.

  272. Dear Tun,
    RISING OF THE GREAT POWER : TOWARDS PEACE. The title sounds great.However, pegging and the elimination of CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) to Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim somehow amused you. I’m not sure how bad Anwar assist Tun while he was a Minister of Finance.But what we had currently was not even close to be proud of.
    As for the environment, i think there is nothing wrong building up a modern incinerator like Japan had.It’s good having such tech in our country, but please make it straight, don’t repeat such Chopper deal.It looks stupid.
    But what most important is, rakyat awareness on how bad our environment condition now. Govt. through envr. specialist must deliver this alarming message to all citizens.Tell them it worsen and make sure all of them understand it!
    Keep blogging Tun, since i can’t get my PC on without logging into your blog.

  273. Salam Tun,
    Ada yg kata blog Tun bernilai US250 sehari. Saya tak setuju kerana dlm waktu yg sesingkat ini telah menghampiri 10 juta hit. Jadi nilainya min tidak kurang US1000 sehari. Kalau ada iklan-iklan berlipat gandalah lagi
    Saya sarankan Tun buka ruang blog ini untuk iklan. Pilihlah yang mana sesuai. Hasilnya boleh juga bantu Dato Mukhriz. Masih ada 143 hari lagi utk dia bekerja kuat. Sama-samalah kita bantu.
    IZIN LALUAN TUN…
    Blogger Melor,
    Jangan emosional dan layan sangat ANTHONY BARCOTT tu.. Nama sebenarnya HANTU NI PAKAI KOT. Orang bodoh perasan pandai..
    TQ TUN.

  274. Assalamualaikum YAB Tun,
    Dengan Izin, apa yang ingin saya katakan di sini bukan mengenai posting Tun kali ini, tetapi tentang isu video dan bahan-bahan lucah rakyat Malaysia terutamanya orang Melayu di internet.
    Untuk makluman Tun, sekarang ini telah wujud satu jenis “social network” seperti http://www.ning.com, yang menyediakan tapak web untuk pengguna menghantar video-video dan juga gambar-gambar serta tulisan lucah, dengan sangat mudah. Pengguna tidak perlu membayar satu sen pun untuk memiliki tapak web sendiri (dipanggil network creator) dan dia boleh menarik seberapa ramai ahli untuk menyumbangkan video-video lucah ke dalam tapak laman webnya.
    Ahli-ahli akan terus berkongsi segala macam video lucah yang mereka perolehi dari berbagai sumber untuk terus menjadi ahli sesuatu laman tersebut. Amat malang, kebanyakan video-video berkenaan adalah dari kalangan orang Melayu, beragama Islam, yang dirakam oleh pelaku video itu sendiri, tetapi video ini telah terlepas ke tangan orang lain, dan kemudiannya dihantar ke tapak web ini.
    Blog Tun ini dibaca oleh hampir keseluruhan pengguna internet di Malaysia, justeru itu, saya sangat-sangat berharap agar Tun dapat memberikan nasihat dan komen yang bermanfaat mengenai hal ini.
    Semoga generasi akan datang akan lebih memahami apakah sebenarnya tujuan internet disediakan di Malaysia, negara kita yang tercinta ini.
    Terima kasih Tun. Dirimu sentiasa menjadi inspirasi hidup saya.

  275. Dr Mahatir,
    You have progressed Malaysia… but when you comment on the west in a negative light, that is fine…Whether I agree or disagree with you doesnt matter.
    I doubt Americans really care what you have to say because the Malaysian economy doesn’t pose any significance in comparison with Americas or piddly Singapores.
    The rest of the world look to economic and progressive achivers..

  276. Dr Mahatir,
    Your supporters and their commentary lack knowledge or sophistication to rebut many arguments posed to you or to the opposition… I do not expect much from your supporters.. nor do I want to associate myself with them.
    Point 4. Are you being cynical with relation to cleanliness? If you are, I whole heartedly agree with you… Malaysia has abysmal health standards. If you look to the streets you will see litter every where, bags, straws bottles thrown out of cars.. not to mention foot paths poorly maintained… and the cleanliness of food.. that is something very close to my heart as I bring my Japanese friends to KL to eat at hawker stalls where alot of the utensils are dirty, the chairs and tables filthy and an over abudane of feral cats and rats….its embarrassing when the see filth on spoons…
    What can you do? Malaysia is third world with a veneer of pretence that it is developed… its the detail that distinguishes quality from rubbish and that is what Malaysia produces.. rubbish products… uncompetative products.. cheap and poorly built motor vehicles… even the chinese are able to produce higher quality products at a fraction of the cost in Malaysia. Without government subsidies.. Proton would be long gone.. but thank god for Tax Payer money!!
    Malaysia is very much typically South East Asian and very dirty.
    If you want to compare cleanliness, perhaps you should visit Tokyo. Even Tokyo or Osaka with their massive populations, are disciplined enough to know that litter is wrong.
    The mentality in malaysia is “If i throw my rubbish on the street – i give the cleaner a joh .. with a grin” But that’s the Malaysian mentality and one shared amongst all races… it is shameful.
    I think your aim to emulate Japanese social and economic sophistication is something that will be unatainable not in your life time… not in mine.. the thing is… Japanese people are living in a developed state now. So why bother subjecting yourself to a lifetime of 3rd world squander? Hence the reason why people.. particularly the educated move…
    Unfortunate as it may be seen, you may not publish my comments as I am going to tell you that you have failed in every regard to put Malaysia any where near the level of sophistication of Japan… with an economy smaller than that of tiny Singapore, and similar land mass of Japan…. its pretty obvious that the current government and all previous governments are failures who havent learnt from their mistakes.. ignorant of the facts.. corrupt and not progressive enough to understand logic.
    If you look at Korea and the timing of their industrialisation, close to Malaysia’s.. you will see that alot of the technological innovations that Koreans have produced now rival those of Japan.. eg: Samsung, LG, Hyundai etc…
    Look at Malaysia… the NEP has brought about a class of dead weight that have rested on their laurels draining public funding for the sake of keeping a job… one that will fast be lost..
    How many Proton’s can you sell in Malaysia before having to look for new markets?? We have reached peak vehicle market already.
    Which countries are going to buy Proton cars?
    How is Malaysia able to compete with tough neighbours who are able to deliver better quality products at a fraction of the cost? Not to mention having enormous middle class populations (china 1.3 billion people) at their doorstep?
    The problem is… Malaysia had the chance.. and it blew it.
    With the NEP, with its redundant policies, poor leadership, poor direction and poor listening skills.. intransparent and overtly corrupt at all levels.. Malaysia has lost the race..

  277. Salam Tun,
    Rubbish;
    Apa gunanya kalau kita asingkan sampah kpd 3 tong kalau kontraktor pengangkut sampah (yg di selia & di lantik oleh kerajaan) gunakan sistem “take all in one lorry” !
    The whole process must be right and efficient, jgn main tangkap muat je…
    Pasal incenirator… tak yah g tgk jauh2 kat Jepun tu…. our neighbour s’pore are amongst the best and efficient rubbish management system and workforce in the world… shame on us
    TU LA…. BALIK2 DLM PARLIMEN DOK BERTEKAK PASAL MENDE2 YG TAK BERKUALITI OR MEANINGLESS… LPAS TU PRANGAI N CAKAP MCM BUDAK2.. MALU LA OIII… PAK2 MENTRI PLZ TAKE NOTE…NAME IT GOV. OR OPPO.
    p/s.. Tun, Masa era Tun ada tak prangai n kata2 meluat di parlimen, mcm yg kita dipertonton dikaca TV skrg ni…

  278. Dear Tun!
    Great and glad to hear that even in your twilight years you get the honour to be interviewed by the BBC! But sad to say, you used it to “up the antenna” on your grudge against Anwar Ibrahim! If seasoned politicans like you, whom I consider very rare in Malaysia, behave like this, what more can we expect from the younger generation who would sincerely want to serve the country?! After 50 years of independence, all we hear are complaints, complaints and complaints! What more can the Rakyat expect when we have a whole load of RUBBISH at the helm of Putrajaya!!!
    On your comment in praise of Singapore’s introduction of Newater, let me remind you that while you were PM, your MB of Johor made a remark that there was ample rubbish water in Johor for sale to Singapore and hence need not have to resort to Newater! Are these the kind of people at the helm of UMNO?!
    Before I pen off, please allow me the honour of reminding you that I have repeatedly told you that your subordinates have used and abused the powers you have allocated to them during your tensure as PM. Please Tun, don’t make the same mistake with Najib! RB’s acquittal is world news, we still have the military deals to deal with! If you are under the impression that these will fade away with time, you are dead wrong!!! More, I believe, will be exposed in the coming days, weeks and even months!!!
    God, Tun, works in mysterious ways!
    Das

  280. salam tun,
    Saya pun bosan, hari – hari kita dengar cerita pasal perkara yang negetif saja. Balik-balik cerita pasal politik yang tak habis2 semuanya nak tunjuk hero tapi semuanya tak buat tindakan sewajarnya. Kalau ada pun rancangan nak buat semuanya hangat2 taik ayam. Setiap kali pemimpin baru naik setiap kali dasar berubah! Dah berapa banyak pelan2 yang telah dibuat tapi semuanya dilaksanakan ala kadar sahaja. kerajaan sekarang ni bergerak hanya mengikut isu semasa, bila dah hangat satu2 perkara tu, barule semuanya menteri dan kakitangan kerajaan nak buat kerja. Pasal kebersihan yang tun bincang ni pun tak dapat pikir, sama seperti budaya recycle – dulu bukan main hangat tapi kojap je le. Harap2 lepas ni kalau dah ada pelan untuk buat sesuatu benda tu, buat le betul2 jangan sekerat jalan je dan kepada menteri2 dan sesiapa yang membuat polisi tu biarlah firm sikit. jangan le nak cari Glamour lebih, nak dapat nama sahaja. Teringat cerita pasal bolasepak ! ini memang betul2 pening, kejap boleh import, kejap tak leh import. kemudian boleh balik, tiba-tiba tak boleh balik. last, bolasepak kita yang terbalik!! Harap – harap orang yang kat atas tu pandang2 le, yang kat bawah ni, kami bukannya bodoh sangat.

  281. SALAM TUN
    ANOTHER THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT STATE GOVERNMENTS SHOULD ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAINT THOSE EXTREMELY BAD AND UGLY LOOKING & DIRTY FLATS/ OLD SHOP HOUSES ETC . THEY ARE IMPOSING SO MANY TAXES I.E QUIT RENTS ETC AND SHOULD AT LEAST CONTRIBUTE TO BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PEOPLE.

  282. I agree with si_belanga.
    Everytime I see Dollah and Najib’s faces on TV I had to switch channels.
    Mau muntah aku.
    It’s too late Dollah. The door is wide open. Like Tun said ” just shut up”. Tak usah pretend mau kerja. Dah terlambat.
    You have NOT done anything good for the country all this while.Your friends and family aja yang semakin kaya….rakyat jadi papa…
    Slide out of the door quick . Good riddance aja lah buat you.

  283. salam tun,
    r u talking about the incinerator in Semenyih? ASAIK it’ll be continue real soon… kinda pisses me off too when ‘they’ stop it coz of the local ppl objection (one of the reason anyway).. i don’t know what all this ppl were thinking, why stop halfway something that is good? if the ppl don’t understand,make them understand, educate them etc. sigh..

  284. Salam Sejahtera untuk Tun Dan Keluarga.
    Perkara ni biasa lah Tun Lembu punya susu sapi punya nama.
    tak tau lah bila anwar ni nak sedar.
    pasal journalist tu Tun jangan lah risau sangat mereka ni semua IDIOT
    sabenar nya kami tersangat kecewa dengan sifat anwar.Suatu masa nanti akan jatuh juga dia ke lubang.
    Jangan risau Tun God Bless You.
    Di harap Mukhris akan terus berrjuang menggantikan Tun

  285. Tun & rakan bloggers,
    Saya berurusan di Genting Highlands sejak dari tahun 1990 hingga petengahan tahun 1996.. agak lama juga.
    Pada mulanya, di Genting Highlands tiada incinerator. Jadi, sampah dilupuskan di satu bahgian bukit yang agak terlindung. Pihak Genting Highlands pada tahun 1994 atau 1995, saya tak ingat, telah membina satu incinerator untuk menampung semua sampah-sampah yang ada. Ianya telah dikendalikan dengan begitu baik sekali.
    Genting Highlands adalah tempat peranginan yang begitu popular di Malaysia dan juga di rantau ini. Pengalamanan yang mereka ada tentunya boleh dikongsi bersama dengan mereka yang tidak mengerti betapa banyaknya faedah incinerator untuk sesuatu tempat itu.

  286. Salam Tun,
    Some simple conclusion after read all comment ..
    99% group of people support u..
    Probably less 1% group of people those are outliers, did’t get HABUAN $$$ when you ruled the country …No wonder this group of people so frustrated..so pity of them.I have few $$$ and I just thinking want to give SEDEKAH to cheer them up..:)
    Tun, You are the great leader with great vision

  287. Dear TUN,
    1. Western and Anwar are allies. They will keep covering up for each other. Afterall, who trust West and Anwar anymore due to the great mismanagement of economy and no government downfall as widely predicted. Who still trust this two faces anymore are complete idiot which I think no person of sound mind will wish to be associated with.
    2. I think there is plenty of money to be made from rubbish if ones put the effort. In America, using certain technologies at some places, electricity for 20000 homes can be generated from the gases released from landfills, while in Bangladesh, their scientists have discovered that i kg of rubbish can produce 400 g of fuel. Surely if rubbish is looked in positive way, instead of spending huge amount of money to dispose it, we stand to make money in terms of millions or even billions. Hope Najib can formulate policies to create money out of rubbish instead of talking rubbish as Pak Lah do.

  288. Dear Tun,
    “Lembu punya susu, sapi ‘mau’ nama” Anwar..Anwar.. itu lah semasa time gawat tak mau dengar cakap, kononnya nak tunjuk terer dengan cara IMFnya. Tapi bila Tun introduce cara untuk nak manage currency crisis dan berjaya, Brother Anwar B Ibrahim ini cuba nak ambil credit untuk dirinya. Malu lah sikit, sudah lah jangan dok kelentong kat orang luar lagi. Keluarkan idea dan FACTS sendiri to proof rather than talking nonsence.
    Tentang comment tu saya setuju, mereka ni cuma boleh kutuk saja tanpa FACTS, orang kata tin kosong.
    Sampah…Menyampah betul dengan mentality sesetengah rakyat masih. No Civic Minded…I wonder why?

  289. Tun,
    As per Tun expression, Tun being of very high spirit,sincere and straight to the very point for clear understanding. Tun, humble profile,excepting the truth,very forgiving,critic for the wrong doers,Praise for those which deserved them.Unfortunately,
    DSAI, AAB do not deserved at all to be remembered.Whom ever critised Tun, especially when Both has been with Tun are a Traitor and coward. With Tun Musa Hitam silence elegance, Dato Sharir and few others need to be reminded of their popularity which is narrowing as well.Tun, UMNO will be history, because what need to happen does not happen fast. Just as the Rubbish which has contaminated the soil of Malaysia.What should have resulted,what need to be developed,what focused/vision /goal are never accomplished, because the Rakyat is never even their primary objectives. Personal gains, Family, Cronies for thier greeds on wealth, title and position. At least Tun now being a normal Rakyat, whom has been in and out of UMNO since the early 70′, 22 yrs as PM & President of UMNO proven to be of high excellence, with natural & strong popularity, havings millions of supporters from all over the world. Supporting Tun always, vision 2020 is still the talk of everyone in Malaysia.AAB vision is March 2009. UMNO MT, Dato Najib, Thanks for being faithful to AAB.UMNO will never ever becomes the party which once has been governing Malaysia and uphold the rights of our Kings, Malays.Salam all.

  290. A’kum,
    Saya amat tertarik dgn cerita sampah,ianya benar spt apa yg Tun perkatakan. Saya ingin menambah lg apa yg lebih nyata.
    Disuatu bandar kecil, di Perancis mereka mempunyai sistem yg agak mudah dimana menetapkan hari tertentu untuk kutipan sampah mengikut kategori dilakukan dari rumah ke rumah @ apartment dan bagi barangan yg besar @ tidak boleh dikitar semula dibawa ke pusat khas untuk perlupusan, paling menarik adalah mereka mencuci kaki lima sekitar bandar seminggu sekali agar ianya sentiasa bersih. PBT memainkan peranan yg sangat penting dari segi aspek pengurusan perbandaran.
    Di Malaysia terutama di KL dan Selangor seekor tikus sebesar anak kucing….bau hancing, busuk dan penuh dengan sampah,tandas awam kalau masuk boleh pengsan, sisa makanan ke dlm longkang yg saliran tersumbat akibat binaan longkang spt lepaskan batuk ditangga.
    kenapa kedai restaurant boleh membuang sisa makanan kedalam longkang???? kenapa… mana PBT….(pekak buta tuli…ker) or rasuah.
    Di Malaysia ada pusat mengumpul bahan usang / tong recycle disediakan ataupun kedai lupus (boleh memperolehi sedikit wang dari barang yg dilupuskan) malah ada yg memandu lori kecil dari taman ke taman perumahan yg lain melaungkan (battery lama paper lama….dgn nada yg agak nyaring)usaha ini harus diperhebatkan dengan pelbagai cara yg boleh difikirkan mengikut persekitaran.
    Projek modern incinerator agak baik jika dilihat dari kegunaannya. jika ingin bercerita tentang pencemaran udara maka janganlah kita memandu kereta @ motorsikal @ apa2x saja yg mengunakan bahan bakar fosil. Saya yakin dengan teknologi dan kepakaran yg ada kadar pencemaran dari relau mampu dikawalselia.
    Kelemahan yg paling ketara apabila lori yg mengangkut sisa pejal, mengeluarkan sisa air yg berbau kurang enak, Oleh itu untuk membangunkan Relau ini dikawasan penduduk yg ramai tentu ada yg membuat piket utk membantah (tentu bila campurtangan pelbagai pihak memburukkan lagi keadaan) akhirnya ianya menjadi pekung didada. bantahan boleh tapi cadangan juga diperlukan asik bangkang itu & ini salah…cadangan tak dibuat..cakap tinggi melangit.
    “Zaman dah berubah dunia dah maju”
    contoh melalui teladan…….masa kini…..
    “SKIM CEPAT KAYA”
    saman menyaman boleh untung individu 10 juta 30 juta dan 100juta… kemana arah tujuan manusia ini…. bukankah lebih baik jika meminta kemaafan dan ia juga adalah kemenangan… kenapa wang menjadi pertaruhan… saya yakin ini akan menjadi ikutan dan trend… adakah ini sebahagian rombakan undang2x yg diminta oleh pembangkang???

  291. Assalamualaikum Tun..
    Semasa financial crisis 1997-98, terlalu banyak fitnah yang bertebaran diruang udara Malaysia masa tu.. antaranya dokuman 5 kotak, Tun berucap dalam sangkar besi takut kena baling telur busuk, Tun Daim bawa duit 5 billion dalam kapalterbang dan lain-lain… sampaikan saya buat simulation berapa banyak dan berapa berat duit 5 billion untuk dimuatkan dlm kapalterbang.. dan akhirnya saya simpulkan mereka semua penipu. Saya memerima beratus email dari penyokong-penyokong PKR dan antaranya dari ustaz yang juga penceramah agama yang terkenal.. saya tanya, betul ke awak yang tulis, dan dia mengaku.. membuatkan saya hanya beristigfar.
    Saya adalah pengundi Permatang Pauh dan saya melihat sendiri tindakan tak beretika sebahagian penyokong-penyokong PKR masa tu..
    Kini, sekali lagi ruang udara Malaysia dipenuhi kabar angin, fitnah dan cerita-cerita bohong, termasuklah dari orang-orang yang mengaku alim dan terhormat. Terpulang kepada kita untuk memilih perkara yang hendak kita dengar dan kita percaya.. Krisis kewangan sekarang adalah sebahagian dari bala Allah swt keatas kita semua kerana membiarkan finah dan pembohongan bertebaran… sama macam krisis kewangan 1997-98.
    Walahhualam

  292. Assalamualaikum Tun,

    Suka meneliti perancangan TUN,
    Doa moga Ayahanda Tun sihat selalu.

  293. Dear Tun,
    The reason why Members of Public (MP) reject incinerator near backyard is because “buaya besar ministars makan corrupsi”.
    When an incinerator is designed by the same Japanese, the technology is so good that one can stand around and smell fresh air (no kidding I done it). But the senior ministars, ministars and junior ministars want a cut or they will not have dough to stop someone sabo the project.
    Japanese are very understanding, they do not disappoint the superstars. But after not disappointing the stars, the money to build the pollution control are eaten by these buaya perut besar stars. But sitll built incinerator but minus the super pollution control so no surprise dirty air come out and MP reject. So blame the superstars for the MP refusal.
    My comment is bull shit. Everyone knows the superstars perut besar. Look at ACA corrupsi investigasi on Cougar. Maybe ACA should cari the scorpion marina. Macam macam perut besar problem. Yesterday, someone email saya cakap Toned Down Maha-Thir now worry si-annointed silap makan so TDM activate backup plan MuhibahDin in case si-annointed silap cuci mulut.

  294. ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN DAN BONDA SITI HASMAH

    merupakan “The few species” yang hanya nampak
    keburukan Tun Mahathir yang amat sedikit dari
    kebaikan nya yang amat banyak.
    Kamu adalah juga seorang pengendali komputer yang
    boleh di ibaratkan bagai mengendali sebuah negara.
    Kalau ada VIRUS yang menyerang dan cuba merosakkan
    komputer kamu,apakah kamu akan berdiam diri atau
    akan musnahkan VIRUS tersebut demi menyelamatkan
    semua maklumat yang ada dalam komputer kamu itu?
    APAKAH SALAH TINDAKKAN TUN DR.MAHATHIR APABILA
    MENYEKAT SEMUA VIRUS2 YANG CUBA MEMUSNAHKAN,
    MEROSAKKAN KEHARMONIAN NEGARA MALAYSIA DAN
    MENYELAMATKAN RAKYAT NEGARA MALAYSIA INI?
    Buklankah itu juga tindakan yang akan kamu
    ambil apabila berada di tempat yang sama?
    FIKIR FIKIRKAN LAH
    Semoga Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda selalau berada di dalam limpahan Rahmat ALLAH SWT
    WASSALAM

  295. ASSALAMUALAIKUM TUN
    Biasanya saya hanya membaca je, komen-komen diblog ni..
    Berkenaan dengan sampah, bagi saya masalah sebenarnya bukanlah insinarator yang akan dibina, tetapi lori sampah yang akan keluar masuk kawasan tu yang mungkin bertahun tak prnah dicuci. Kalau dijepun, lori sampah sentiasa dibersihkan dan dalam keadaan bersih.. boleh cium lori sampah tu, tapi kat M’sia setengah batu lagi dah ada bau yang tak menyenangkan. Belum lagi ditambah dengan sampah yang berciciran dijalan sepanjang ketempat pembuangan. Semuanya berkait dengan sikap orang kita,rakyat malaysia, sebagai alasan diletakkan kesalahan kepada teknologi.
    Saya amat menyokong pembinaan insinarator, tapi kepada yang berkenaan, tolong selesaikan masalah tu..
    Bantahan tu semuanya bermotifkan politik, kalau PR memerintah, kat mana diaorang nak sumbat semua sampah tu.. Sepatutnya semua rumah dikenakan bayaran bagi setiap kilo sampah yang mereka buang, bukan setakat cukai pintu je..
    wassalam

  296. Salam Tun,
    emmm…they didnt collect your rubbish ya…some dint do their work….
    We can publish in the Star…
    p/s: we will investigate who gets tender for cleaning up our rubbish beside Alam Flora….emmm. Something must be revealed…

  297. Dear Tun,
    1.Mindset must be shifted to First Class mentality.
    2.To built and operate the High-Tech Incinerator is no big deal
    with proper planning and monitoring.
    3.Look at the bright side of things it can be done,but if offer
    a lot excuses,nothing can be achieved.
    4.Current Government of Malaysia,please take note on this and
    IMPLEMENT SOMETHING.
    Take care,Tun.

  298. salam Tun,
    saya baru je tonton rcgn HISTORY CHANNEL ASTRO bab RISING OF THE GREAT POWER : TOWARDS PEACE. Tun adalah antara yg ditemuramah utk memberi pandangan mengenai apakah ciri2 yg mjdkn negara2 itu sbgi sebuah kuasa besar. apakah dgn berperang, mjajah, mendominasi atau bergabung utk membentuk sebuah kuasa dunia. kepimpinan Tun mjd panduan utk org luar mengetahui apa pandangan Tun tentang soal ni.
    sepatutnya soal sampah, soal komen2 mengarut takda fakta atau fakta tak tepat hanya membuatkan org lain menyampah medgrnya, tidak sepatutnya lagi timbul masalah. di negara2 maju rakyatnya sudah mempunyai mentaliti kelas pertama utk fikirkan hal yg lebih penting dan lebih terkehadapan. sementara kita pula, sikap dulu masih lagi sama sampai skrg. Fasiliti kelas pertama tp mentaliti tahap rakyat negara dunia ketiga.

  299. Salam Tun
    Surat khabar Utusan Malaysia keluaran 1 Nov 2008 menyebut Pak Lah akan menyerahkan tugas-tugas Perdana Menteri kepada Najib selepas Perhimpunan Agung Umno pada 24 hingga 28 Mac 2009.
    Apa hal ni?Bia sebenarnya Pak Dolah ni nak letak jawatan?Pak Dolah ni macam nak main tarik tali je.
    Pasai apa lah dia ni masih tak paham-paham.Penin-penin.

  300. Salam to Tun and all,
    My 2 cents comments:-
    1. Incinerator – the problem as always is on maintenance. Malaysian habit of not able to maintain any kind of facilities is real. I propose that the authority should include local people in the facility management/commitee – this will allay their fear and they definitely will not tolerate any substandard work.
    2. To encourage recycling, why don’t we include 5 cents in every can and plastic bottle (does not matter whether for soft drinks, food etc). 5 cents will be given back to whoever returning those back. This system has been used widely in US and certain european countries. I bet, we can have our street clean from this type of rubbish in no time (especially during bad time now 🙁 )
    3. Plastic bag – just eliminate free plastic bag from cashier counter.Replace that with grocery bags. Automatically majority of people will start carrying their own bags. This is my recent experience with supermarkets at one of the rural town in china (4 hrs drive from Shanghai). If they can do it, so do we.
    4. Undersink rubbish disposal – make it a must for new houses. It will eliminate majority of wet rubbish and prevent the foul smelling water from polluting our road.
    I dont see any strong political will needed to implement these proposal. Just conviction and conciense for future generation.
    5. Ohhh… I almost forget about another rubbish – DSAI – just let him rot with his big agenda. Pegging and CLOB were his ideas!!! – what a joke.
    God bless all of us.

  301. Tun,
    1 of the well known Organic chain shop in Malaysia that whatever you buy anything from them,
    they juz don’t supply plastic bag to us…
    in fact, we got to bring our own bag or basket to carry back goods.
    I don’t really happy with their service at the beginning but after
    my girlfriend explained to me the reasons then i understand..
    They cared our planet and the plastics pollutions..
    Plastics can’t be disposed and its stays for a very long time..
    As the world climate getting hotter close to 2 degree celsius..
    People still don’t do anything…
    I highly recommend we use paper bags instead of plastic for all rubbish disposal..
    and what is our Natural Resources & Environment minister doing so far???
    this should applied to all shopping complex and hypermarkets..
    the ‘tidak-apa’ attitude juz can’t work man….
    think of our next generations…
    stop plastic bag…

  302. “Minister of Finance who implemented the IMF strategy without the IMF with disastrous results”
    Tun, do u dare to debate with DSAI regarding this slander? upps.. i dont think so 😉

  303. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Tentang si anuwar ni Pelajaran tinggi tapi moral tak berapa tinggi sebab dia ikut 100% dlm apa saja yg dia nampak masa di
    OXFORD.
    Tentang masalah sampah dari dulu sampai sekarang tak berubah sebab
    pemerintah tak memerintah(sebab byk bangkangan). Yg pembangkang selalu bangkang tapi takbagi idea.lepas tu semau lepas tangan yg jadi mangsa rakyat.
    Semoga TUN dgn Bonda sihat dan umur.harap dapat terus menulis dan
    menyumbangkan byk bakti lagi.

  304. salam tun
    salah satu sebab malaysia dikenali didunia mempunyai perdana menteri bernama mahadhir… orangnye lincah berbicara .. cakap2nya boleh membuatkan wartawan mat saleh terpikir oooo….i see.. sebuah laluan pemikir yang layak bergelar pemimpin..jadi rakyat pun bangga.. kalaula pak lah yang wartawan tu tanya .. wartawan tu mesti hairan dia ni pm ke???
    TURUN LA PAK LAHHHHH… BOSAN LAAAAAAAAA
    p/s : pak lah kalau boleh kurang2 kan la muka masuk tv..
    kena tukar channel bila pak lah kat berita tv…

  305. Salam Tun,
    Isu rakyat Malaysia tidak menitikberatkan soal kebersihan persekitarannya seperti yang Tun cakap tu memang tidak dapat dinafikan. meludah merata tempat..buang sampah merata tempat…tandas awam kotor…jarang basuh tangan dengan sabun selepas makan….jarang gosok gigi…suka merokok….suka buang lampin baby merata tempat…suka buang pad wanita merata tempat…..kilang baung sisa toksid sesuka hati….sungai jadi tempat buang sampah…sungai kotor….dan tandas masjid pun kekadang di beberapa tempat seluruh negara…kotor…dan macam-macam lagilah….
    persoalannya….kenapa ada sesetengah rakyat Malaysia tidak ambil berat tentang kebersihan..sedangkan…kebersihan dipandang tinggi oleh agama…..
    pada pandangan sayalah Tun…sebagai kerajaan yang bertanggungjawab..kerajaan pusat ke…kerajaan negeri ke…kerajaan tempatan ke….takkanlah saya ke…tun ke…nak lempar sampah-sampah tu kat depan rumah pm ke…mb ke…mp ke…pegawai daerah ke…sebagai tanda protes…
    kalu negara kita kotor…maknanya pemimpin kita la ni …. baik kerajaan…juga pembangkang…pun kotor juga..sebab mereka nampak tapi buat tak endah aje…yelah…asyik tidoq…asyik main golf….asyik rasuah aje….
    dan kepada ketua pembangkang tu….hang pun khabarnya suka main kotoq….????? betoi ka…???

  306. quote “But we in Malaysia have higher standards of cleanliness”
    that’s a total lie and i think you are just being sarcastic.
    HOWEVER, after reading this
    “Will we accept sorting our rubbish and dumping them into the correct bin! I think not. That is for the Government to do, as we pay taxes precisely for sorting our rubbish. ”
    If everyone thinks like you, then we don’t even need the rubbish bin, since we already paid our taxes but, i guess u are comparing Malaysian Government to rubbish. (ISA, i am not comparing u know)

  307. Assalamualaikum wbt,
    Tersangat setuju dengan apa yang Tun tulis mengenai sampah sarap di Malaysia bukan shj dalam tong sampah, luar tong sampah, dlm longkang, tepi jalan, dalam kompleks membeli belah, tidak perlu sebut sampah di pasar malam/pasar basah. Tetapi dalam banyak banyak sampah tersebut ada satu kategori ‘sampah’ yang berada dalam politik termasuk beberapa (ramai) dalam parlimen yang bercakap mengalahkan budak2 sekolah rendah dalam parlimen. Jelak tengok mereka mengkritik, mengomen antara ahli menggunakan perkataan2 tidak berkualiti & kasar kononnya mahu menjadi jaguh, kononnya bangga dilihat sebagai wira oleh orang2 kawasan mereka. Jika sampah fizikal boleh dibakar, air tercemar boleh dirawat, tetapi setengah2 ahli parlimen yang berlagak & pentingkan poket apa yang terbaik dilakukan pada mereka. Apa yang mereka sedang lakukan kepada rakyat selepas menang tipis dalam pilihanraya baru2 ini. Masing2 belum lagi berpijak di alam nyata masih lagi menganalisa setelah analisa demi analisa dibuat. Buatlah kerja demi untuk kami rakyat yang membayar cukai.

  308. Rasanya usahkan nak asingkan sampah, nak buang sampah di tempat yg betul belum tentu boleh buat..
    Berkenaan sampah ni, tak payah ngk jauhla.. Singapore tu pun dah cukup bagus..

  309. Assalamualaikum Tun, So Tun wishes for critics/comments make to your own personal undertakings. So, I hope that the moderator would pass this comment.
    Firstly, I wish to state that Tun is a very special Malay muslim leader. Secondly, I see that Tun could influence people, especially the Malay muslim. And I really hope that Tun could influence them on the right path, that is, the Islamic path. However, Tun seems to be promoting and engraved in democracy, but not the Islamic way of life, including the political aspect. I say, this is not a polite way of being a true muslim, if only knows how to promote political democracy.
    May be it is because no Islamic scholars or ulamak could properly chart out the Islamic way to Tun, but this does not mean that there is no Muslim could chart it out. Its like how Tun was able to be convinced by Tengku Syarifadin (Mimos?) on what IT is all about!
    I would like to chart it out for Tuns consideration.

  310. Assalammualaikum Tun & family,
    Working with Tzi Chi free clinic expose me to how much you can earn from recycling. Tzu Chi run their clinics buying medications from the income of recycling.I do not want to expose their income but medications are definitely not cheap.
    The problem with our management system is that we are too rigid.Kalau top to bottom, top to bottom lah segala-galanya.Kalau bottom to top, bottom to top lah segala-galanya.To me masalah rubbish ni adalah bottom to top, tapi buat masa ni semua ahli2 politik kat bawah mau pun yang kat atas sekarang sedang sibuk dengan politicking dia orang, tak ada masa dah nak pikir pasal sampah maupun apatah lagi mengenai kesejahteraan rakyat. Sebenarnya with the right approach, orang2 kampung lah paling mudah untuk di ajak bekerjasama.Contohi Melaka.
    Wassalam.

    I say, the Ketuanan Melayu makes the Malays lazy and forgetful. That is why they cry fowl when Sleangor MB wants a performing Non Malay to head PKNS.

  312. ASSALAMUALAIKUM AYAHANDA TUN DAN BONDA SITI HASMAH
    Anakanda tumpang lalu:
    To Anthony Barcott: Tun doesn’t have to answer to you,let me do
    the answer for you but also in a questionaire
    form:
    So sophisticated the singapore is or are:
    1)why still need to get water from johore? why cannot produced by
    themsleves ?
    2)Why don’t you write to or urged the singaporean govt to
    demolished the Tambak Johor,then we can see the fun of it as to
    whether the singaporean govt is so good as you claim.
    3)ONLY THE ISSUE OF THE SO CALLED “JAMBATAN BENGKOK” HAVE
    ALREADY STRUCK FEAR AND CAUSED HAVOC IN THE SINGAPORE GOVT
    AS IF EARTHQUAKE HAS BEFALLED ON SINGAPORE.
    The fact is that the singaporean govt cannot stand by itself alone but still needs the neighbouring countries.The best example is singapore still cling to Malaysia through Tambak Johor and never DARE TO FREE ITSELF FROM MALAYSIA.
    Just look at yourself,trying to critisize Tun Dr.Mahathir ,but you yourself are no BETTER THAN YOUR OWN POPE IN ROME.TRYING TO TEACH THE CHRISTIAN ALL OVER THE WORLD TO BE GOOD BUT HE HIMSELF A LUCIFERIAN WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN CROSS.(THIS WAS EXPOSED BY YOUR OWN CHRISTIAN RESEARCHERS AND NOT BY ME)
    Semoga Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda selalu berada di dalam Limpahan Rahmat ALLAH SWT
    WASSALLAM

  313. Tun, you stated in the topic “comments” above that:
    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me.
    Well, I did write that in your time, your children had made themselves rich. I will not put my arguments because you know them well who they were before and after. You never did comment back my comment so there was little to say you agree nor disagree.
    In my time I did try to put up proposal for a common facility in Sabah, there was zero support from the central Government. But for you to go ahead with your crooked bridge you seemed to want to justify the billions to spend for the crooked intention and for Singapore’s benefit. Alas Ahmad Badawi put a stop to it that angered you most. This proved the crooked bridge was never justified. But others had made their million while my state got little attention.

  314. SAYA ADALAH ORANG YANG PALING KECEWA BILA MT UMNO PUTUSKAN PERHIMPUNAN AGUNG UMNO MALAYSIA TETAP DIADAKAN PADA MAC 2009.
    1) APAKAH SEBABNYA DIBUAT MAC 2009 ?
    2) UMNO DAH NAK JADI PARTI MAIN-MAIN ?
    3) PAKLAH SAYANGKAN UMNO ATAU UMNO SAYANGKAN UMNO ?
    4) MEMANG TERNYATA PAKLAH MENGKHIANATI UMNO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  315. AI claiming this, claiming that, promising this, promising that…. delivering ziltch. Same like most politicians – lah ! oh, but he’s the leader of the pack in that aspect.

  316. Dear Tun,
    Strangely i think the rubbish u talking abt are linked with crappy commentators that made against u in this blog.
    Seriously i agreed those guys are rubbish just ignore or maybe burn them with smart comments like incinerator burns efficiently the wastes.

  317. Hi! solcroft,
    You have my respect!
    Though some words are strong, basically what you said is true. Our dear Tun may not sleep well tonite. I am a bit pity, but this is life!

  318. Hello Anthony Barcott,
    Why don’t you come to Malaysia and let’s have a debate?
    Where are you from? USA, UK, Australia…with a name like your…surely not an Asian.
    As usual, you white man come to Asia and pretend to be smart and will not want to go back ‘cos there’s nothing back home for you…right?
    I dare you to show yourself in KL instead of this coward act of hiding behind someone else’s blog:)

  319. Salam Tun.
    1. Anwar vs Najib (now).
    He claims that he was a Minister of Finance for 10 years.
    He said he knows better about F.I.N.A.N.C.E compare to Najib.
    No proof.
    Actually as Minister of Finance, he failed. Everybody knows.
    What a shame.
    2. “I was worse when I was Prime Minister”.
    No proof.
    Nobody suffer when you was a PM. (If there are, plz ‘stand up’).
    I believe only the one that ‘gila kuasa’ will stand up!
    3. Rubbish – throw into the dustbin, burn or bury. Simple.
    4. This is for you Tun.
    I’m sabahan.
    I read about Pairin who recently claimed ‘PBS dibuli Tun’.
    True or not, I never care.
    Kalau yang membuli tu lebih tahu nak majukan negara, senangkan rakyat, apa salahnya? Kita tak rugi pun…
    Thanks Tun. NOTHING COMPARED TO YOU!

  320. Tun
    I think you are the greatest leader of the century. You have guided Malaysia to be one of the strongest and richest nation in the world and you gave successfully transformed the Malay into one of the brightest and most hard working race in the world. The following is your report card during your tenure:
    1. Malaysia was corruption free.
    2. Malaysia was the region’s best financial centre.
    3. Malaysia has the world’s tallest buildings.
    4. Malaysia has the world’s largest airport.
    5. Malaysia’s universities are among the top 50 in the world.
    6. Malaysia was almost zero in it’s crime rate and nobody gets robbed.
    7. Malaysia has the world class’ infrastructures, which are better than London and Sydney.
    8. Malaysia has the most intelligent workers in the world.
    9. Malaysia has no racial problems.
    10. Malaysia has better and more efficient government than Singapore.
    11. Malaysian’s average income was higher than Singapore’s.
    12. Malaysia had the world’s most efficient and profit making light transit system.
    13. All government projects were making profits.
    14. The judicial system was one of the best in the world.
    15. People’s education level is of world class.
    16. Malaysia’s universities were widely acknowledged by the top institution such as Oxford and Harvard.
    17. Malaysia has the ability to create multi billion projects which translate into multi billions profits for the government.
    18. Malaysia has the best military force in the region for its defence.
    19. Malaysia was successful in retaining its most talented people from migrating overseas.
    20. All local graduates were highly demanded by overseas.

  321. Dear Tun,
    I think the problem the critics have is thought pattern, of the negative type.
    They only see the negative in everything. They do not see that whatever you did was because of your love for the people and country.
    I have been singing a lot of praises for you. Believe me, they all come from the bottom of my heart because I know a leader like you is a rarity.
    But I also have an axe to grind with you.
    I do not know whether it can be displayed but I had deeply wished you would have converted Malaysia to be a secular republic.
    It seemed only a whisker away and had you done that, I would gladly add “Great” to your name, just like Ataturk of Turkey.
    I am willing to bet my last dime that ultimately, it is the best model for Malaysia.
    Best Regards
    Ataturk

  322. Merujuk kepada kenyataan berikut …
    “I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me …”
    Pernahkah sesiapa yg melihat rakyat Iraq membuat aduan semasa pemerintahan Saddam Hussein? Pastinya tidak, kerana teguran kepada diktator kebiasaannya akan membawa padah. Sebab itulah teguran kebiasaannya berlaku di luar negara yg diktator tiada kuasa, ataupun selepas zaman pemerintahan diktator
    Tengoklah Mandela, jarang nampak kecaman terhadap beliau samaada di dalam atau di luar negara beliau sendiri. Inilah pemimpin yg benar-benar berwibawa. Sebab itulah selepas tidak berkuasa pun beliau tetap dihormati ramai, dan bukannya terkena sembur serbuk lada hitam …
    Mengenai isu sampah, masalah ini pastinya tidak dapat diatasi …. selain dari sikap manusia, banyak faktor lain juga yg tersirat …
    Sebagai contohnya, orang cina dan india dianggap penumpang sementara di negara ini. Keadaan demikian menyebabkan mereka terasa ketiadaan tempat penginapan dan negara ini bukan milik mereka. Dengan itulah kekurangan cinta kepada tempat penginapan sendiri dan buang sampah merata-rata. Tanyalah diri sendiri, mungkinkah kamu buang sampah di rumah sendiri? Pastinya tidak.

  323. Tun, At the rate corruption is going here in malaysia,I don’t think they are interested to built this bloody thing,they are only interested in topping up their bank account.These corrupted are all copying from you.In malaysia,this is the best they know,nothing else.Keep on raping the country.I don’t mind at all.We will see what the bumis will do in the end.

  324. I am getting anoyyed with some Ministers getting into the news saying that the Government of Malaysia is subsidising the petrol into the tens of Billion Ringgit !!
    Is it really true that at the latest world crude oil prices of below US$70 per barrel, the Government is SUBSIDISING the people/consumers or is it the other way round i.e. the poor people subsidising the Govt of PAK LAH !!
    Cost of everything (i mean EVERYTHING) has gone up and to get these things to revert to old prices is a Miracle !!
    No businessmen will go back to the old prices, it just wont happen.
    The damage done by the Govt of Pak LAH by not thinking well and proper before approving the petrol HIKE and TNB tariff hike too!!!
    Tun, you were the Finance Minister once, tell us at the cuurent world crude prices, are the Govt still subsidising the people!!!!!!!!
    Thank you.

  325. Rubbish/Waste
    Dear Tun, I do agree with you that we, Malaysian, are good in all sort of rubbishs, but having ‘tidak apa’ attitude when come to dispose them. It is the responsibility of the local council to sort them since we pay taxes every year. I do convince that if we continue to subscribe to this attitude (tidak apa), it will take us nowhere. Not oly in UK, separating wastes has become a norm in most of the developed countries in the West. In the Netherlands for example, besides having 3 bins for (old)papers, perishable items and other wastes, supermarkets are joining hands with government in providing facilities for disposing plastic cans and bottles in their respective recycling bins. Even if we buy, let say, bottled drinks from supermarket, shoppers are charged for the price of bottles. Shoppers will be reimbursed if they recycle that bottles at recycling centres provided by supermarkets. I think it is time for us to re-examine our Recycling Policy, and there is a need to introduce incentives or users-friendly measures that is easy to use, and from consumers’s point of views, usefull.
    Bye.

  326. Dear Tun,
    On the issue of waste management, I believe segregation of waste for recycling purposes is a good idea. Malaysians honestly do not do enough recycling and we do not have enough environmental awareness to want to do so. In some western countries, even the developing ones in eastern Europe, people are charged for plastic carry bags at supermarkets. Many people bring their own shopping bags on their shopping trips. I wonder how Malaysians would react to that?
    Not so sure about the incinerator though. Like we have proven time and time again in the past, when it comes to spending money, we do so lavishly. Once we’ve spent on this and that, the flashiest goods are left to rot. We do not understand the idea of maintenance. That makes me shudder when the government proposed nuclear energy. Do they even realise nuclear energy is not child’s play? Honestly if we had to have our own nuclear reactor, I would not trust any Malaysian to run it — not until we changed our tidak-apa attitude! Spending money is easy, give me a billion ringgit and I will show you I could do it in one day spending it all just on myself. But we have to realise there is more to it than mindless spending.
    I’m not one of those who shouts “long live Mahathir” like you were the emperor of this land. I admire you but I do not blindly idolise you. I believe you did some very good things and some perhaps less so. I believe most of those who have criticised you in one way or another do not think you are a villain to the bones, because honestly, the great things you have done for Malaysia are very hard to ignore. But like I said in a previous comment which I have yet to see published (perhaps you have chosen not to), all the great things you have done cannot make the bad just go away. They will be part of your legacy the Malaysian people will remember you by. A lot of the debates on this blog have been on ideals. For example, people cannot give direct evidence that the country would have fared better without the NEP in the last 30 years or so, because that never happened. Of course then their arguments would seem unsubstantiated compared with those built on official statistics issued by the government of the day. But of course a critical reader would know to question the intentions of the government of the day and hence the legitimacy of the evidence it supplies, the same way perhaps the ASLI report on bumiputera equity was doubted by the pro-NEP camp. However, I would say that some very intelligent (albeit critical of you) comments have been put forward by some of your readers. I am just amused that you have chosen to question the quality of the commentors who are critical of your views, yet endorse such comments as “Tun, you are always right!” as completely acceptable. Funny, isn’t it, human nature?

  327. Tun,
    Did you know that your CHEDET.COM site is now valued at US$175,000.00 and your daily cyberAD income is approx. US$250.00 ??
    Wow, that’s better than your monthly pension and tax-free too !!
    You see you never can go wrong, and b’cos your niat is good its well rewarded both now and later !!
    You may be disappointed with the people you appointed to POWER, more disappointing when these very people say not nice things about you and your past.
    To me, whatever you did, you did for the sake of the people of Malaysia, for the betterment of our lives and to get recognition for the country so that other country respect our country.
    You could have made yourself filthy RICH just like Thaksin or Marcos but you simply did not follow that foolish path.
    I just hope that ONE DAY you get the proper recognition you trully deserved.
    I am sad at the bashing you get both from Barisan, Umno, MCA, MIC Gerakan, and not to mentioned the opposition led by Anwar Ibrahim, Lim kit Siang, Karpal Singh.
    I guess you are STRONGER spritually than most, but at times I am sure you feel depressed over the events.
    I just can’t wait for Pak Lah to leave the Premiership.
    I hope Najib will be the light at the end of the TUNNEL !!
    Congrats TUN and STAY Happy always. Play with your CUCU sometimes.

  328. Salam Tun,
    Saya dah dua tiga kali keJepun. Isteri saya orang sana. Apa yang saya perhatikan rakyat Jepun memang berdisiplin dari segala segi, terutama soal kebersihan. Bayangkanlah sampah tidak akan diangkat jika tidak diasingkan oleh pemilik rumah. Maka bertimbunlah jadinya didepan rumah.Pemilik rumah akan ditegur oleh orang-orang sekeliling. Tapi masyarakat kita, biarkanlah saja kerana tidak mahu menjaga tepi kain orang. Taik anjing akan segera diambil oleh pemilik apabila haiwan peliharaan tersebut apabila berak dijalan. Mereka sentiasa membawa bersama penyodok kecil dan plastik.Bagi perokok mereka sentiasa bawa beg kecil kemana saja untuk menyimpan puntung rokok dan tidak akan membuang merata-rata.Berbeza sangat dengan masyarakat kita di Malaysia. masih jauh Tun…masih jauh

  329. COMMENTS
    I read in The Scribe A Kadir Jasin, that there exist commentators/bloggers that are being paid to
    level critisms at bloggers who are against the Administration. They are called “cybertroopers.”
    These are young blood that do not possess in-depth knowledge to argue cases and to counter
    other comments received. According to writer of The Scribe, they had since stopped. Good for them.
    RUBBISH
    This is an interesting topic for me. Im a homemaker. So I know a bit about rubbish.
    In the begining, the waste disposal company in my area came everyday to collect rubbish.
    I have no problem with that. Then, Alam Flora took over and they changed the schedule to 3 times a
    week. When they started serving my area, I lost the cover to my bin. Now a new company took over
    but the schedule still remained 3 times a week.
    Once a upon a time , we were being approached by someone ( either MBSA or a rubbish company
    rep, we couldnt remember ) that would we accept if they put big bins for recycled items along the
    road where we are staying. We told him we have no problem. But many moons come no litter bins
    come.
    As a responsible homemaker I separate out my kitchen waste and those items that could be
    recycled. Since those big bins never come, I still have to bring these items meant for recycle to the designated centre.

  330. Salam Tun
    Here we go, many “fitnah2” words will be out by our dear Anwar who loves to talk rubbish. His lawyers teror, but lawyers dari kerajaan pun bijaksana. Let the show begins….
    For those who are with Tun are mainly from the rakyat who love Malaysia but those who dislike Tun are mainly from the “so-called” educated bunch of rakyat who do not even know how to spell “bangsa”.

    Everthing in our country must be bad, everything in our neighbouring country must be good. As you pointed out that your friend was robbed in KL, my friend too was robbed in Paris, but he never say anthing bad about Paris because to him is normal.
    When Tun pointed out that the government had had wanted to implement the modern incinerator similar to Japan. You said Malaysia Tidak Boleh.
    Malaysia Boleh IF our government make it a COMPULSORY RULE but sadly, the developers (mostly are chinese lah) and the current Housing minister (soft like our PM) are not interested but rather they prefer to mark up the price of minimum RM870,000 per unit of the condominium with just only 1,500 square feet. Very sad…..
    P/S: I sincerely hope that Dato’ Mukhriz can propose again this idea if he become the UMNO Pemuda chief. I believe if there is a stong will, nothing is impossible, Rome is not built in one night!
    Let me answer you the question that you asked Tun, no need Tun to answer lah, I am a normal citizen of Malaysia can answer you lah: Your question: “With all the natural resources that Malaysia has and Singapore does not, why Malaysia has not been capable of catching up with this close neighbour in many areas such as the average income of the people, inflation, education level, public infrastructure, housing and it’s global financial status” My Answer: Because we do not like to rob from the poor to make the country rich, faham…..!!!!
    Till then Tun.

  331. asalamualaikum Tun,
    COMMENTS.
    terlebih dhulu saya nak komen mengenai “COMMENTS” yg Tun rasa kecewa dgn komen yg diberikan oleh sesetengah komentar. saya setuju dgn Tun mengenai komen2 drpd komentar yg hanya tahu menjawab kritikan Tun dgn menyalahkan Tun dan mengatakan Tun lebih teruk lagi masa jd PM tanpa memberi penjelasan yg lebih lanjut utk menyokong kenyataan mereka itu. bahkan dlm persoalan yg ringkas juga, saya perhatikan kbykan komentar disini memberi ulasan yg boleh dikatakan tiada isi yg boleh membina dan menyokong dgn idea2 yg bernas masing2 spya apa yg dibangkitkan oleh Tun itu bolehlah difikirkan bersama penyelesaiannya.
    rasanya, tiap kali saya bagi komen tidak akn mengecewakan Tun krn saya akn jawab dan memberi penjelasan dgn pjg lebar utk memperkuatkan hujah. mana tau point2 yg saya bagi boleh bagi idea pd Tun. walaupun ada juga antara komen saya tak disiarkan namun bg saya yg penting Tun baca, komentar2 lain tak baca tak apa sbb saya yakin Tun lebih paham apa yg saya komenkan itu. sbgai contoh komen saya mengenai anugerah DATO kpd SRK, sbb saya tau kalau nama2 org tertentu tak di rekomenkan pd PM tentulah akn tercicir atau tak disenarai. kena kaji kriteria, berapa lama SRK berkecimpung dlm filem dan bagimana sambutan filem SRK, kita mungkin tak tau kedtgan pelancong asing ke Malaysia disebabkan oleh filem SRK tp mungkin filem SRK adalah salah satu sbbnya.
    bagi saya, biarlah komen2 kita menunjukkan kematangan kita, tahap ilmu pengetahuan kita, apa yg kita sebutkn dlm komen kita boleh mjd antara kriteria yg boleh menentukn sama ada seorg itu bersyukur atau tidak dgn apa yg ada pdnya. dlm soal anugerah dr kerajaan, rasanya sampai bila pun rakyat biasa spt saya tak dpt tp dgn berbuat baik dan amal mulia yg byk kpd manusia dan smua mahluk, insyaAllah smua itu adalah krn utk mdpt anugerah dr ALLAH. saya tak harap apa2 pun anugerah dr kerajaan negeri maupun persekutuan, saya tak perlu bodek pemimpin utk rekomenkan nama saya bg diberikan anugerah DATO, TAN SRI, AMN dan sbgainya.
    dgn memberi komen yg membina serta pandangan yg boleh difikirkan bersama scara positif juga adalah sesuatu yg baik. dlm post TINGKAT EMPAT NAJIB pun saya ada kemukakan bgaimana rasa kecewanya saya dgn respon serta komen dr pegawai atasan saya yg tak menghargai apa yg saya usahakan sbgai seorg kakitgan bwhn. skurang-kurangnya kalau nak komen, komenlah dgn cara baik yg boleh membina dan berilah penjelasan yg boleh diterima. bkn hanya tau komen saja dan mengkritik tp diri sdiri pun bkn betul sgt pun. sepertimana Tun saya juga kecewa dgn komen sebegitu.
    agaknya Tun ambik point komen saya tak utk terbitkan post bwh tajuk COMMENTS ni…hehehehe….apa2 pun Tun, saya respek kat Tun dan percaya Tun seorg yg boleh terima pakai pandangan rakyat yg ada penjelasan lanjut utk menyokong hujahnya.

  332. Yeah, what happened to the high-tech incinerators.
    I heard the Japs lost lots of money.
    Landfills sucks.
    Toxic.

  333. SALAM TUN,
    DUA TIGA KUCING BERLARI
    MANAKAN SAMA SIKUCING BELANG
    TUN SENTIASAALAM MEMORI
    BILA TENGOK JAMBATAN PULAU PINANG

  334. YABhg TUN,
    Hairan…Pak Lah masih tak mau siasat tuduhan Anwar makan duit Magnum 60 juta? Rahim Ghause bawa lari 400 juta siapa pun tak ambil tau? Bapa dia tiba-tiba ada empayar sendiri seperti IOI group siapa pun tak persoal? Tup-tup percaya : Yang budak sastera ini telah menyelamatkan negara dari krisis ekonomi. Sampai sekarang dia masih kata Jaguh Ekonomi…Tapi cadangannya satupun tak boleh pakai.
    Bab Kebersihan…No satu yang kita kena belasah ialah Penguatkuasaan: Siapa peduli kalau orang hisap rokok dan buang di mana-mana ? Atas motor hisap..dalam kereta hisap…Takan nak buang dalam kenderaan sendiri…mestilah buang kat luar. Dijalanraya…Kat Bandar Muar, Taiping atau Sungai Petani…jika nak ambil gambar kita boleh dapat beratus-ratus kesalahan seperti Langgar Trafic Light dan Lampu signal tukar color merah yang boleh menyumbang kepada kemalangan…tapi apa boleh buat…Alasan yang selalu diberi : Tak cukup kakitangan ?
    Khir Toyo bawa suara siapa? Dia dah mula sanggah TPM. Mungkin TPM silap, tapi kita tahu dia masih tak boleh lari lagi dari bayang-bayang budak tingkat 4…sebab Pak Lah masih PM.
    Tahniah Pemuda Bahagian Pasir Mas, satu-satunya pencalunan dari Pemuda Kelantan setakat ini yang memberi undi kepada Mukhriz.Tahniah sekali lagi kerana Anda ‘Berani Berubah’ sepatutnya kita kena ikut Tok Guru malan3395 dari Kelantan yang mengatakan DUIT ORANG BAGI KENA AMBIL SEBAB ITU DUIT RAKYAT…ASAL UNDI TAK DIBERI PADA YANG BERI DUIT HARAM INI DAH DIKIRA TAK BERDOSA.
    Kalau semua perwakilan ikut nasihat T.Guru Nik AZiz…pening juga kepala KJ sebab dah banyak duit lebur tapi hasilnya hancus.

  335. Dear Tun,
    We appreciate your concern about being blamed for the state of affairs NOW.
    I hope you will appreciate those people who felt that being in power for more than two decades, its unlikely that you have not left a legacy of sorts. some good whilst others may have been bad.
    We should not just look at the bad as you have done some good things. But please don’t think that you are perfect as it often seems like you wish you were. No humans are perfect, not even angels for that matter.
    I think at this stage what people are getting to have to adjust to is the fact that the current people in power are not assertive enough. Assertive can be in an intelligent way as opposed to the less intelligent way…. Somehow you have managed to be assertive enough as to instill confidence in the public that the country is in strong hands (not necessarily good for some but good for others).
    On the balance there were no flip flopping, when measures are taken they are taken with confidence.
    It will be a long time if ever that we can see such sentiment in Malaysia.

  336. Salam Tun,
    Mengenai sampah, saya merasakan kerajaan tidak mengambil serius hal ini. Saya pernah tinggal di United Kingdom 2004-2006. Saya amat tertarik sekali dengan sistem pembuangan sampah seperti yang disebut oleh Tun. Pekerja yang mengangkut sampah akan periksa tong2 sampah dan jika sekiranya kita membuang sampah tidak mengikut kategori yang ditetapkan, kita akan dipanggil dan diberi amaran atau mereka tidak mengangkat sampah berkenaan. Jadi kita begitu berhati2 untuk membuang sampah ke dalam tong2 sampah yang tertentu. Bilalah agaknya kita boleh mempraktikkan sistem tersebut. Kita boleh mulakannya di bandar2 besar.
    Satu lagi, saya adalah seorang yang sensitif terhadap pencemaran alam sekitar. Saya ambil contoh penggunaan bekas2 plastik seperti botol air mineral. Kita patut kurangkan penggunaan botol air mineral. Contohnya, bila kita pergi berjalan atau melancong menggunakan kenderaan, eloklah kita membawa bekal air minuman daripada air yang dimasak yang disejukkan dan diisi ke dalam bekas. Ini lebih baik daripada membeli berbotol2 air mineral.
    Apa2 pun kita semua, kerajaan & rakyat patut berusaha memulakan secepat mungkin sistem pembuangan sampah yang lebih sistematik. Penjagaan alam sekitar patut diberi keutamaan demi menjaga bumi yang kita diami ini.
    Patutlah kita kurangkan berpolitik yang lebih banyak menjurus kepada kehancuran bangsa & negara. Fikirkanlah.

  337. Salam Tun.
    Hope you are well. If aeronautic engineers in Malaysia were to ask the Malaysian public how to design an airplane, he will get 100 different answers from 100 different people. The engineers will be better off learning from the experience of Boeing and Airbus and industry standards and present it to the best of their ability. Similarly, nothing will happen if consensus is being sought to build incinerators. Nobody will want it in their backyard. The government will have to make a firm decision based on best available data and the public will have to accept and relocate if necessary. Isn’t this the practice when we have to build new highways? It will always go through somebody’s land, and the government will have to go through the arduous task of relocating people, but it has to be done. Never mind if people will call the government dictatorial, but the future generations will thank us for it. Tun has made some strong decisions in the past during your administration, how come this one slip by? I challenge all administrators of government, states, cities, GLCs, companies and even villages – do what’s right, not what’s popular.

  338. Good Tun ,
    Kudos to you for saying all these!!Don’t know why M’sians are like this.So clean & don’t want to live near the animal farms & rubbish incinerators because of foul smell etc.Distasteful we say….& yet we don’t mind littering when someone is not looking.Yes, having landfill for rubbish is very unhygienic for all the reasons that you had mentioned.Tun you had hit the nail on the head.It is a very2 serious social & environmental problem.Soon there will not be much suitable land left in Selangor or even Perak for burying our Rubbish.Very humourous.Must read your blog to find interesting topics to read & be tickled to laughter.Laughter is the best Medicine.
    RT

  339. i’m interested with the rubbish story as recently a friend of mine mentioned something that we(all Malaysian), should actually think about: “another world class achievement by Malaysian: Pembuang Sampah No.1 dunia.” Since than, I’ve been using that phrase when pointing at rubbish to my kids and students. They agree and now they are telling that to their friends when they see rubbish at any venue espesially at Tapak Pesta Keramaian like pasar malam around KL. i believe a change should start individually and many people who are against anything “TDM” are attacking you as if you should actually run the incinerator.

  340. Dearest Tun,
    Minta laluan.
    Dear ondeonde, thanks. I might (highly probable) misinterpreted your comments. I only disagree with your statements. But then I apologize

  341. Dearest Tun,
    One of the dirtiest city that I ever live in is KLANG. Even the new township area Bandar Baru Klang or Bukit Tinggi Klang are full of rubbish practically everywhere. From my observation, such problem doesn’t arise due to inefficiency of the town council and authorities, but also mainly contributed by exceptionally poor mentality and civic mindedness of the people there. When I drive around Klang, so often I saw people throwing plastic bags out of their windows, some even carry plastic bags full of rubbish on their way out to work in the morning and dumped to their whim and fancy into the drain / stream. The worse area is Sentosa, Klang which I first time took a drive last month into this area, and that will be my last visit there. All the industrial rubbish and residential waste are piled up on those self declared dumping yards, and the piles are really huge, and I am not joking at all. Sad as a Malaysian which the country at one end transforming into a developed international hub and destinations with amazing skyscrappers etc, but on the other end still having places full of eye sore views. The government should subsidise and encourage organization to invest in alternative power generation with rubbish source.
    Take care Tun

  342. salam Ayahanda Tun dan Keluarga..
    semoga sihat selalu…

  343. Just answer me one question: With all the natural resources that Malaysia has and Singapore does not, why Malaysia has not been capable of catching up with this close neighbour in many areas such as the average income of the people, inflation, education level, public infrastructure, housing and it’s global financial status.
    Your Comment Mr Anthony Barcott as above,
    To your question,You dont require an EX PM to answer.My Driver is capable enough to answer this simple question.Very short and precise the answer is NEP.
    Your finished products are inferior quality, And how to think broad and in advance.You graduate out those who dont have the basic requirements to pursue certain courses but they are out in the market with those degrees.All with the blessing of the Education Ministry and UMNO.
    Ask youself,Where will all of you be,If the Chinese have not migrated to malaysia,Whom you call as IMIGRANT.I believe,the NATIVES will still be covering the private parts with leaf and busy planting tapioca for food.
    Even with the implementation of NEP,You are still not able to attain the 30% equity in all depts,Imagine,If such policy are not introduced,I am sure you know the consequence and dont need me to say it out.
    You have nothing to brag and achieved ZERO by your own.All your achievements are by the Backdoor.Bear that in mind and start working hard without any support from any party.Dont be a parrot.Prove to us you can be Independent,Then we will KOWTOW (Bow) to you.
    On this matter,Tun is Exceptional bcs he is Half Indian.
    Regards,
    Mohd SivaKumar

  344. assalamualaikum ayahanda tun …
    tun .. bagi saye kite sebagai rakyat malaysia ni dah jadi tak sedar diri dan begitu sombong sekali dengan kemewahan yang telah dikecapi (apparently tun it is happen during your tenure) sehinggakan teknologi yang digunapakai oleh negara yang berpuluh tahun lebih maju dari kite pun masih belum cukup bagus untuk kite .. bilela kite ni nak berubah .. saye cadangkan subjek kebersihan ni kite jadikan antara subjek disekolah dan juga kerajaan bolehlah memulakan langkah awal tentng isu sampah ni dengan menguatkuasakan undang2 mengawal pembuangan sampah dan kebersihan di kalangan masyarakat .. denda ker penjara ker .. tak kisahlah ape pun janji dorang ni takut nak buang sampah merata2 .. isu sampah ni sebenarnye sangat serius .. kerana kalo tak silap saye mengikut kajian di kuala lumpur sahaja rakyat malaysia purata rakyat malaysia membuang sampah kalo tidak dibersihkan setiap hari boleh menenggelamkan kuala lumpur dalam masa 2 tahun sahaja !! so this is a serious thing .. hope the government will see what tuns write here today as a serious matter .. and for tun thank you for always look up for us ..
    akhir sekali tun , jage diri selalu tun .. semoga allah sentiasa memberkati tun sekeluarga ..

  345. Salam Tun,
    1.Tiap-tiap hari saya tunggu tulisan Tun. Sentiasa merangsangkan minda dan bermaklumat yang sungguh saintifik. Pemikiran Tun dari dulu hingga sekarang sebenarnya tidak tergapai oleh orang lain. Saya yakin pasti Tun mengambil apa sahaja tindakan selepas berbincang, memikirkan kekuatan kelemahan dan mendapatkan pandangan para pakar dalam team think tank Tun. Saya harap Tun akan terus memberi pandangan agar dapat dijadikan panduan kepada orang lain.
    2.Berkenaan tambatan ringgit tu saya fikir satu dunia dah sedar itu tindakan Tun. Macam mana pula jadi gitu? Mesti dia tak buat homework! Tak terkejut juga kalau orang PPauh tu cuba mengambil kredit. Memang dasar pembelit.
    3. Yang saya amat pelik, macam mana orang yang sepatutnya berakal dan pandai-pandai konon boleh terpengaruh dengan dakyah dia. Budak yang tak cukup akal pun boleh fikir.
    4. Soal kebersihan, pelupusan sampah, incinerator, tong sampah 3 warna … tak nampak betul pelaksanaannya. Orang Malaysia ni perlu dididik. Memang 3rd class sejak zaman Munshi Abdullah.
    5. Soal tangguh projek, lepas satu satu sudah menjadi satu trenda pemimpin hari ini. Mungkin setengah-setengah ketua kampung, tok batin, tuai rumah boleh bertindak dengan lebih baik. Bukan pemimpin atasan saja, bekas pemimpin peringkat negeri pun berfikiran singkat juga. Masalah sebenar adalah apabila politik dan kronisme diutamakan. Hanya kerana yang memulakan dan berusaha tu bukan kroni, projek ditolak. Alasan biasa adalah kos tinggi. Tapi kalau geng dia, terus boleh jadi.
    6. Sejak memegang jawatan tinggi negara, rakyat dapat melihat Tun buat apa yang Tun cakap. Pimpinan melalui teladan, Pandang ke Timur, Rawatan dalam negeri, KLIA, Putrajaya, KLCC,dan banyak lagi: semua tu bukti bakti dan tindakan Tun. Tun cakap serupa bikin.
    7. Semoga Tun diberi Allah kesihatan yang terus-terusan baik dan dapat menyumbang pendapat yang bernas.
    Wassalam.

  346. Dear Sir,
    I’m a Singaporean and had always admire and adore you since day one.
    When you were ruling Malaysia I always say that you were the best Prime Minister in the world. Even the taxi man, poor people can find a living and have enough to feed on.
    Today as you can see for yourself. Most moderate and below Rakyat are suffering and struggling for money to survival.
    My personal opinion is that you had done a great job, so just ignore what others say.There is no proof and politics is what it is.
    Thank you

  347. Salam Sejahtera Tun,
    Yes, an array of the biggest incinerator in the world must be built immediately at a multiple strategic locations to cleanly vaporize these “solid waste” in our country especially in our political sites. These incinerators must be running 24×7 considering to the size of the waste, amount of solid verbal rubbish (including its by-product) they’ve produced, currently producing and will be producing. They’re getting better at it everyday and their production capacity has gone up multi-fold since you step down. This silently has propelled our disunity and chokes our economy to a new level of worseness. I hope these machineries will help to bring some balance and gear us up for vision 2020.
    Good day sir!

    By JJJ on November 1, 2008 11:40 AM
    salam Tun,
    saya masih ingat semasa DSAI dipecat dulu,tersangat ramai orang termasuk beberapa sedara mara saya yang mengata dan mengumpat Tun melampau.
    Antara tohmahan yang saya dengar;
    1.Tun ada berhala dalam rumah
    2.Tun tak sembahyang
    3.Tun digelar MAHAFIRAUN,MAHAZALIM dan macam2 MAHA lagi
    AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN ADALAH SATU SATU NYA KHALIFAH KURNIAAN ALLAH SWT KEPADA NEGARA TERCINTA INI. HANYA RAKYAT YANG SEDARKAN DIRI DAN BERSYUKUR SAHAJA YANG AKAN MEMELUK AYAHANDA DENGAN PENUH KASIH SAYANG.
    PERNAH KAMI KATAKAN SEKETIKA DAHULU BAHAWASANYA SESIAPA JUA YANG MENGHINA, MENGANIAYA ATAU MEMPERLEKEHKAN AYAHANDA TUN AKAN DITIMPAH ‘KEGAGALAN’.
    AL GORE, HABIBI,PAS, ANWAR, SOROS ANTARA NYA.
    KAMI MOHON AGAR ALLAH SWT SENTIASA LEKATKAN IMAN DAN TAKWA AYAHANDA TUN KEPADA NYA.
    ALFATIHAH, AMIN.

  349. Salam Tun,
    Interviewed by BBC
    I maybe wrong but I could not agree with Tun that Anwar did nothing for the country during his tenure as a Finance Minister. Is it when he was a Finance Minister, he just sat in the office and did nothing ? Please do not think I am saying this in favour of Anwar. I don

  350. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    I want to throw that rubbish (interview & comments) to their faces.
    Thanks Tun.
    Terima kasih Tun.

  351. Dearest ayahanda Tun,
    INTERVIEW
    Yes sir, we know who “saved” Malaysia…but at the same time, we also know how all these mess got started in the first place. Same as what is happening in America; easy money lent to creditors and in our context bad loan…non-performing loans.
    If we the poor rakyat default our payments on our cars or houses; we get love letters from the bank…we get in trouble; but when your friends default payment; the banks get in trouble. Not a bad deal..ehh.
    Also, in case you have forgotten; you brought in Anwar Ibrahim and made him the Finance Minister.
    COMMENTS
    For heaven’s sake Tun, please think clearly before you write; how can we be critical of you when you write articles against the government. Have you forgotten that you were once the government…maybe its the typical malaise afflicting all of us; i.e “melayu mudah lupa”
    Please sir, it will be much appreciated if instead you can provide the evidence that as we Malaysians we are much better off now; i.e I consider Abdullah Badawi same as you. Not much difference in principle; just execution slower.
    RUBBISH
    Totally agree with Anthony Barcott; it is not that we don’t want the incinerator; but have we thought of the maintenance?
    Please don’t give me the answer thats for the engineers and consultants to think about….please do drive around your pet project “Putrajaya”…how come there is a lack of parking?
    Did the engineers and the consultants screw that up?
    How can we be sure than they won’t screw-up the incinerator?
    If the government can stop wasting money; we the po..oooor rakyat will definitely take better care of the environment; i.e stop throwing toll tickets on the road…

  352. I for one thought some of the criticisms were well articulated and argued with substances.
    Did you choose to believe the only things that you WANT to believe? Or have you become typically fallen in love with yourself that all criticisms appear beneath you?

  353. Tun you always said you want this and that. Look at the incinerator you have in Langkawi ? what are the condtions now ? Are we able to maintain them , thats our problem ! Even during you admin, you cant even whip those idiot pengarah thats always sits in the office and golf game, never go down to the field and are always in their comfort zone, how to have all the canggih facilities and no maintenance. If we can whip those idiot pengarah like singapore style, yes why not the rakyat wil not mind to have incinerator near their home because they know it will be clean and propoerly maintain. Problem is rakyat are no convince . why dont you ask lee kim yew to do one near your home at the mines ? Talk is easy tun especially when you have ketuanan melayu even those not perform will not be downgrade or panish, the most is transfer to another comfort zone. Corrupt kills and destroy and dosa in muslim world !

  354. Salam Tun,
    Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim memang jenis manusia yang suka mengambil kejayaan orang lain untuk dirinya.
    Saya amat ralat sikit kenapa Tun melantik Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang hanya berkelulusan sastera menjadi Menteri Kewangan…. munkin kerana Tun Daim sudah membuat foundation yang bagus maka Tun sanggup melantik Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
    TETAPI Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang dikatakan Menteri Kewangan yang terbaik…. BUT bagi saya pooodahhhhh!!!!

  355. Yg saya kagumi Tun,
    BBC: Tun, there are plenty of letters, (I bought a book about the letters Tun wrote while being PM)speeches, newspaper clips, interviews etc directly associated to Tun’s policies, ideas and principles. Where can I get these? There are worth more than gold dinars….
    RUBBISH: I tend to disagree with Tun on this matter, the more pressing issue about having incinerator is the condition of the many smelly, leachate drippings and dirty garbage trucks passing in front of the residentials.
    Correctly Tun, like the British, we should tackle the sources of all garbage.
    Teruskan menulis Tun.

  356. Dear Tun,
    You brought up a good issue and as you may have noticed from many of the comments, we tend to jump to conclusion very easily. How often do we take a step back and ask why?
    Its always easy for us to criticize and comment on others action. Perhaps that person who come forward with criticism and comments, more often than not, are out to create problems for others without proper justification/fact backing.
    Empty vessel makes the loudest noise? More often than not, the person who critic another person finds it hard to answer constructive question? I guess that is third world mentality?

  357. As citizens, maybe we should not ask so much as what can the country can do for us, we should ask what we can do for our own country.
    Regarding recycling,why not start small first, since we Malaysian are very resistant to change.
    First, do not use plastics bags when we go shopping. Bring our own shopping bags. Giant, Tesco and Jusco are promoting this. Am waiting for sunshine square to also emulate this. (maybe they are but i didn’t notice).
    Second, try to bring our own containers when we buy ‘ta pau'( take away) food.
    Third, save on water and electicity use.
    Fourth, have 4 waste bins at home. Start dividing our rubbish to paper, plastics, glass and perishables. That’s where the next move is also important, get active in our own communiy network. In this way, we can promote recycling awareness in our own community, be it at flats, condos, apartments, residential areas or our own kampungs.
    This way, we can ask those committees at our own place to provide separate rubbish bins for all those items.
    Finally, we can and should ask the local government to provide separate bins and a better and efficient waste disposal system at our residential areas, our workplace, our cities, and finally to the whole country. The federal government and the local governments have to throw away their bickering and differences, to work together, for the people and country.
    This is very ideal, but people are not like that. To change or accept change is very difficult, not when we are always harping on our differences, rather than accepting our similarities. We are like chidren fighting what’s mine, but at the same time each are lighting a match, which can burn our house down. Don’t only blame the politicians, we should also be responsible for what’s happening to our home, our country.
    There are a lot more ways we can do to save the environment, but i think that’s all for now.
    Thank you Tun,
    You are the best.

  358. Salam Tun
    Those who are not appereacieted what you have done for the past 22 years are less in quantity compare to the rest.Its normal,we cant please everyone.
    As for me…..you have done a lot and i would to say THANK YOU.

  359. Dear Tun,
    Anwar?
    He’s into ‘face’, ‘I’ and ‘me’.
    Look at the stuff he spoke about when he spoke to ICMI Indonesia. I did this. I did that. When I was the DPM I did these to the Indonesian workers unlike them. He’s good at buying sympathy. Sometimes at the expense of the real thing. Even at the expense of the country.
    To hell if he wants to take credit for we all know the pegging was done by you and your team Tun. Credit goes to you as you were the one to suggest and approve.
    Anwar, after being courted by the western authorities when he was finance minister was about to get conned by the mat sallehs. He’d rather be like Indonesia, sleeping with IMF just because they’ve put him in a high pedestal. Or so he thought. Indonesia went with IMF because they just have little or no choice at all. But we were in a much better position then and thanks to you we got off. Otherwise we’ll still be servicing the foreign debts and have our Malaysian companies sold off to Anwar’s brotherly penjajahs.
    Look at them Tun. Anwar and Khalid can be smart Malays. But once power is in theirs hands they forgot who they really are.
    Even a smart Melayu like Khalid dared to open his mouth to allow other races into UiTM. I’m bloody sure it’s a PR exercise to gain more non-malay supporters as PKR by itself is nothing.
    Even a stupid guy like me knows the reason MARA was set up and ITM, UiTM to follow.
    This is indeed Malaysia and sadly they really need to go back to school to re-sit their history lessons.
    If these type of hypocrite so-called leaders they are producing, I’d rather not be in any party at all.
    Take care Tun and keep up the good words. Pardon the pun.

  360. SALAM AYAHANDA RAKYAT TUN,
    IZINKAN,

    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    3. Clearly the quality of these carping commentors leaves much to be desired.
    HOWEVER, SINCE THE ‘ABI'(AGGRAVATED BRAIN INJURY) WARD AND THE ‘DUMB'(DERANGED, USELESS, MENTAL BLOCKED) WARD WERE DESIGNED FOR THESE CARPING COMMENTORS, WE SAW A CONSIDERABLE DECREASE OF SUCH CRITICS AND PERHAPS DUE TO THE LACK OF RESPONSES FROM ANAKANDA RAKYAT CHEDET.COM TO THEIR COMMENTS AND INSTEAD THREW THEM TO THE DUMPS OF CHEDET.COM WHERE THEY CAN ‘RAP'(ROAM AND PUKE) ETERNALLY AS THEY DESIRED.
    MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS

  361. Tun,
    Org Malaysia memang pembersih orangnya. Kalau tidak, takkan saya maki orang yg buang sampah di tangga, depan lift dan biarkan sampah membusuk di depan rumah (flat). Pada saya, sikap kita kena ubah. Kalau satu tingkat ban org yg buat macam ini, lama-lama orang yg pembersih tadi akan berubah. Tapi kita ni baik orangnya. Tak suka jaga tepi kain orang. Ngumpat orang lain pakai baju tak cantik takpe…
    Saya hairan. Kenapa kisah incinerator di politikkan. SAya faham kalau orang kampung tak setuju. Kalau mereka tak faham, kita terangkan. Tapi ada ahli politik yg mahu jadi ‘juara’. Kononnya utk kebaikkan orang kampung. Apa kata kita mulakan di putrajaya?
    Saya pernah tonton Ian (discovery travel) berlari di belakang lori sampah di Jepun. Sampah di ambil di rumah ke rumah dan dihantar ke pusat incinerator. Dia tidak bau sampah mahu pun ada air sampah yg menitik. Bandingkan di Malaysia. 1/2 liter air sampah jatuh di jalan. Belum tentu 2-3 hari lagi akan hilang baunya. Itu baru bau, kesannya. Jalan jadi buruk. Ada tompok kehitam-hitaman.
    Kita punya negara. Kita semua jagalah. Pada saya, apa salahnya kalau sesekali kita jadi minah kepoh dan jaga tepi kain orang. Kalau itu utk kebaikkan kita semua. Tapi ramai yg suka ‘mind your own business’… (sebab tu dia org buang sampah bawah pokok senyap2)

  362. Dear Tun..,
    Maaf off topic sikit. Nampaknya keturunan Tun tak diterima oleh org Kelantan. Tgk pemiliham Umno skrg rata2 org Kelantan tolak Mukhriz. Apa sebabnya Kelantanese anti sgt dgn Tun & Nik Aziz pun bleh bela Anwar drpd Tun. Jawap jgn tk jawap.

  363. …MAHATHIR, THE FORMER PRIME MINISTER AND ALSO THE FORMER FINANCE MINISTER HAD DURING THE CRISIS CAME UP WITH

  364. hai tun, ada pergi pekan rabu jalan jalan kah ? to err is human, good leader the ratio of decision is 1 wrong out of ten. that u my friend. while the other is 1 right out of ten that my pm.

  365. Anwar yg pulihkan ekonomi M’sia ’97-’98. Pi la mabuk! Anwar la yg buat M’sia kucar kacir. Anwar la yg pecah belahkan Melayu. Anwar la yg punya agenda sendiri hingga sanggup menjual maruah negara dgn cerita2 buruk beliau pada negara luar. Dan yg sedihnya lagi, Melayu2 dlm parti Keadilan tu. Ikut saja bontot Anwar. Yg terbaru ni, dah berapa banyak kali menipu rakyat dgn tarikh peralihan kuasa. Last2 tak cerita pasal peralihan kuasa lagi sebab nak concentrate utk pulihkan ekonomi negara. Apa punya pemimpin ni? Cakap langsung tak boleh pakai!

  366. Salam Tun,
    About this rubbish….actually we have all the rules…but there are not enough law enforcements.
    We usually see a signboard…”JANGAN BUANG SAMPAH DI SINI.DENDA RM 500….but at the bottem of the signboard pole we see alot of rubbish.

  367. Tun yang dikasihi,
    Biarlah apa yang orang kata tentang diri Tun,biarlah sejuta rakyat yang benci Tun,tapi Tun sendiri tahu siapa sebenarnya diri Tun.Saya jelik mendengar akan segala tohmahan yang dilakukan.Ini termasuklah dari Perdana Menteri kita yang bodoh sombong itu.Yang penting saya telah hidup 24 tahun di Malaysia,di dunia ini.Saya membesar di dalam kepimpinan Tun,saya tetap percaya,segala perbuatan Tun untuk menumbangkan beberapa orang manusia yang tidak sedar diri ini adalah untuk saya dan seluruh rakyat yang lainnya.Saya berharap agar manusia-manusia yang cuba untuk menghuru-harakan Malaysia ini tahu bahawa tiada benda yang sempurna,namun adalah lebih baik bagi kita mendapat benda yang hampir sempurna,daripada mendapat yang langsung tidak sempurna.

  368. tajuk: komen
    manusia memang dilahirkan suka dengar yang baik-baik saja untuk dirinya dan yang buruk-buruk saja untuk orang lain.
    tun memang seorang manusia.

  369. Dear Ayahnda Tun,
    It is highly likely that Anwar himself provided this false information.
    This claim that he was responsible for saving Malaysia from the 77-78 Currency Crisis can be found in his bio online.
    What a shameless thing to do! Trying to steal the credit of saving Malaysia from economic ruins when only those living under a rock and didn’t follow news since the late 90s were ignorant of the fact that he was then the MoF and DPM who almost sold Malaysia to the IMF.
    When even NYTimes columnist Paul Krugman, who recently won the Nobel Prize for Econs, had acknowledged and commended you and your team of economic adviser’s for taking bold steps that were against conventional economic wisdom. Steps which not only protected Malaysia from disaster but brought about swift recovery. This has made economic history is now probably a textbook case-study.
    What colossal gall to try and blatantly take credit for something he had no hand in. In these days of Google and other electronic archives and search-engines too, when almost all records can be obtained with mere clicks of the mouse. Totally lame!
    I think when Malaysians figure out how/where to rid their rubbish, they should also consign this particular rubbish there! 😀

  370. Dear Tun,
    Today we live in so-called Information Age but it is very sad that every information we received seems inaccurate and most of time it is spinned to mislead people. Even the laws are been manipulated.
    Rubbish: It it good idea to have incinerator in residential area. But the problem is that government are no good in managing this type of project. They will tell you that the cost to build incinerator is RM100 million per incinerator !!! Our hard earn money will be burned in the incinerator, again. Sad.

  371. SALAM TUN..
    BBC ..? WHAT DO YOU EXPECT..? GUNA GAMBAR TSUNAMI ACHEH TAPI CLAIMED GAMBAR CYCLONE DI MYANMAR..
    KITA SAJA INGAT BERITA ASING NI TEPAT PADAT..MEREKA ADA AGENDA SENDIRI..
    MINYAK SAWIT KITA NAIK HARGA ..DIA KATA SEBAB FOLLOW HARGA SOYA.. BILA HARGA MINYAK SAWIT JATUH.. DIA KATA KUALITI TAK BAGUS..
    REPORTER TU BARU LAHIR KOT MASA 1998 TU…

  372. Salam Tun dan pembaca budiman
    SAYA TIDAK BERHAJAT UNTUK MEMBERI REAKSI TENTANG APA YG TUN TULIS DI ATAS, TETAPI SAYA MENULIS SOAL LAIN, YANG KALAU BOLEH TUN BERIKAN ULASANNYA DALAM TULISAN TUN AKAN DATANG.
    SAYA BICARAKAN BEBERAPA PERKARA YG TERBUKU DI HATI SAYA DAN PASTINYA JUGA RAKYAT MALAYSIA YG LAIN
    1APABILA HARGA MINYAK MELAMBUNG NAIK MAKA KERAJAAN MENAIKKAN HARGA MINYAK SEBANYAK 41%, TANPA MENGAMBIL KIRA AKIBATNYA UNTUK JANGKA MASA PANJANG.
    2TARIFF ELEKTRIK JUGA DINAIKKAN KERANA TNB TIDAK DAPAT MENANGGUNG KOS DAN TIDAK BOLEH MENANGGUNG RUGI.
    3TIDAK LAMA SELEPAS KENAIKAN HARGA MINYAK BERLAKULAH PESTA MENAIKKAN HARGA BARANGAN. HARGA UNIT ELETRIK PUN NAIK.(Kalau dulu kami(saya dan isteri) ke pasar raya untuk barangan keperluan, jumlah harganya sekitar RM 250 tapi selepas pesta kenaikan harga barang, keperluan yg sama menjadi RM300+, saya tak jadikan bentuk % kerana angkanya saya tidak catit dengan pasti)
    4SEKARANG HARGA MINYAK SUDAH TURUN MAKA NAMPAKLAH BERBAGAI-BAGAI TEMBELANG DI PIHAK KERAJAAN- KERAJAAN YG DILANTIK UNTUK MEMBELA RAKYAT, SEPERTI BERIKUT
    A HARGA BARANGAN TIDAK TURUN. PIHAK BERKUASA TIDAK BERUPAYA MENGAWAL PENIAGA UTK BERBUAT DEMIKIAN.
    B HARGA MINYAK TURUN SEKALI 10-20 SEN, TETAPI KENAPA NAIKNYA 78 SEN SEKALI GUS? MENTERI KATA TAK BOLEH TURUN BANYAK KERANA BIMBANG PENIAGA MINYAK AKAN RUGI- APAKAH ALASAN SPT ITU BOLEH DITERIMA OLEH RAKYAT MALAYSIA?
    C TARIFF ELEKTIRK TIDAK TURUN- MENTERI KATA PENJANAAN ELEKTRIK KITA TIDAK BANYAK BERGANTUNG KEPADA KUASA MINYAK, TETAPI DRPD GAS DAN ARANG BATU. MENGAPA MASA NAK NAIKKAN HARGA DULU LAIN ALASANNYA?
    5SAYA PASTI RAKYAT MASIH MARAH DENGAN KERAJAAN SEKARANG. SOALANNYA APAKAH PM, MENTERI-MENTERI DAN PENASIHAT-PENASIHATNYA YG BIJAKSANA TIDAK TAHU ATAU TIDAK BOLEH BERFIKIR TENTANG PERKARA ASAS BEGINI?(Atau mereka sengaja mahu supaya rakyat marah dengan mereka?) RAKYAT YG SEDIA MARAH MENJADI SEMAKIN MARAH DENGAN KEADAAN YG BERLAKU SEKARANG INI.
    6JIKA BN MASIH MAHU SOKONGAN RAKYAT MAKA PERKARA BODOH SPT INI PERLU DIBAIKI MENJELANG MAC 2009. JIKA TIDAK SAYA PERCAYA BN AKAN MASUK MUZIUM UNTUK TONTONAN GENERASI KITA AKAN DATANG
    tq

  373. Salam Tun..
    Pasai apa BBC kata Anwar yang wat pegging??
    Tanya kat Anwar apasai..
    Kesilapan dan mismanagement masa Tun memang ada tapi leh cover lagi..tapi zaman Pak lah..dia xleh nak cover dah..padan muka, saper suruh open sgt..Bapak pun kalau ajar anak mana ada bagi bebas merdeka..kena pakai rotan marah, pukul, nasihat..kan dah kena pijak kepala..
    Pasal sampah ni, no comment..sebab sungai and tanah kat kg saya bersih lagi..kadang2 orang kampung jauh pembersih dari orang bandar. Tengok ler longkang2 kat bandar2 kecuali Kuching.
    Have a good weekend..

  374. “But we in Malaysia have higher standards of cleanliness. We do not want even the cleanest incinerators to be located anywhere near where we live. We prefer to dump the rubbish untreated on land. i like this statement…bravo tun…

  375. Dearest TUN,
    A very good day to you and family.
    Regarding comment no.2, those people do NOT know what the are doing nor talking about. Let’s pity them as I feel that they are handicaped(the brain). For me, TUN was the best P.M. Malaysia ever had and is still a GREAT leader who actually CARES for Malaysia. Not the present leaders who only care for their own and family self interest.
    When I was new in Tokyo, Japan, I was staying in an apartment in Nerima. As I was used to the way we throw rubbish in Malaysia, I put everything into one garbage bag and put it at the designated area. Imagine the shock and embaressment I felt when a lady neighbour actually took it up to my apartment and told me to sort out my rubbish. It makes me think what would happen if we did what the lady did here in Malaysia. Too many scenarios and I would say majority are not good.
    May you be in the best of health always.

  376. Yang Mulia Tun,
    Saya tertarik dengan ‘sampah-sarap’ yang Tun bicarakan. Perkara ini pernah saya tuliskan dalam satu artikel saya, tetapi kerana saya tidak siapa kenal, tak ada orang yang membacanya. Tetapi Tun orang ternama, sedikit sahaja Tun bercakap, sudah menjadi satu perkara besar. Dan mencurah-curah komen yang memuji Tun.
    Sesetengah benda yang kita anggap sampah adalah merupakan sumber rezeki bagi orang lain. Tin-tin buruk yang kita buang, ada orang mengambilnya dan menjual bagi mendapat wang. Sehingga akhirnya kerajaan terpaksa meluluskan lesen perniagaan barang-barang lusuh dengan begitu banyak sehingga tiada pula ‘sampah’ yang boleh dijual.
    Akhirnya dawai-dawai kabel telekom yang menjadi mangsa. Besi-besi pagar dan penutup longkang tidak selamat lagi. Tidak kira lagi tong-tong gas dan periuk belanga dicuri untuk dijual bagi mendapatkan wang.
    Saya pernah mencadangkan supaya pihak PBT mengenalpasti beberapa pulau dan semua sampah sarap itu dihantar ke pulau-pulau tersebut. Sesiapa yang hendak melupuskan barang atau sampah, dikenakan bayaran. Dengan cara ini saya percaya tidak akan ada sampah lagi.
    Sekian.

  377. Tun yang terhormat,
    Anwar Ibrahim memang suka mengaku pandai dan berlagak macam orang ahli fikir tersohor. Kadang-kadang menyampah saya melihat orang yang merasakan dirinya saja yang betul dan cerdik. Dia berhujah sampai berjam-jam diparlimen (dengan gaya bahasanya yang sinis) kononnya sebab belanjawan yang kerajaan bentang dulu sudah tidak lagi sesuai disebabkan harga minyak sudah naik mendadak . Jadi sekarang saya rasa Anwar kenalah berhujah berjam-jam semula di parlimen sebab harga minyak sudah turun mendadak!!
    Sampai bila orang Melayu nak kena tipu dengan dia ni? Orang Melayu asyik kene tipu saje…Dan lagi pemimpin yang macam ni cuma pandai bercakap saja pada hal dia tidak sedar dia dipergunakan orang.

  378. Dalam masa hanya lebih kurang 10 tahun mereka telah coba meminda sejarah?
    Insaflah rakyat Malaysia, jangan mudah ditipu orang-orang yang tidak bertanggung jawab.
    Krisis kewangan 1997-1998 membuktikan siapa sebenarnya wira dan siapa pengkhianat bangsa.

  379. Sebagai orang Melayu saya berasa amat terkilan dan kecewa dgn kenyataan bekas Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, menyifatkan ketuanan Melayu sebagai satu konsep yang gagal dan hanya membawa keburukan kepada kemajuan bangsa Melayu di negara ini (Utusan Malaysia, 31 oct – Zaid Ibrahim: Ketuanan Melayu satu konsep gagal)
    Banyak sebab membuatkan saya berasa demikian:
    1. Baru sahaja menjadi menteri, meletak jawatan dan membuat kenyataan yang menyinggung perasaan
    2. Kenyataan dibuat oleh orang Melayu yang hidup senang lenang sekarang
    3. Kenyataan dibuat ketika Persidangan LawAsia 2008
    Bagaimanapun itu hanyalah pandangan peribadi beliau walaupun seolah-olah ianya nampak betul, intelek dan professional.
    4. Saya tidak faham bagaimana konsep ketuanan melayu dilihat sebagai satu konsep yang gagal dan hanya membawa keburukan kepada kemajuan bangsa Melayu di negara ini.
    5. Banyak perkara yang perlu dipertimbangkan apabila bercakap soal kesamarataan dan keadilan sebagai contoh, keadilan terhadap kedudukan ekonomi orang melayu
    6. Keadilan tidak boleh dilihat dari sudut perundangan sahaja
    7. Saya harap Tun boleh memberikan pandangan Tun mengenai konsep ketuanan Melayu yang sering disensasikan kebelakangan ini
    8. Saya juga ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Tun atas sumbangan Tun kepada rakyat selama ini

  380. Dear Tun,
    As you may know the Western Media is always fond of DSAI. It is like they portray him as the next incoming PM of this country. All God will knows that’l happen.
    Good write-up on the ‘rubbish’. By today, we shud be looking into alterntives in disposing our rubbish the right way. Otherwise say good bye to Planet Earth!
    By the way, what is your thoughts about the speech by Dato Zaid Ibrahim about ‘Ketuanan Melayu’..? Is that for the better or for the worse….?

  381. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohammad.
    Anwar Ibrahim memang pengkhianat bangsa.Cuma orang melayu ramai yg tidak sedar.Bangga kibar bendera Keadilan tapi tak tahu keadilan apa yg di perjuangkan.Bg saya ayahanda,Anwat Ibrahim adalah salah satu sampah masyarakat jugak.mungkin kerajaan mcamana nak buang sampah2 pembangkang ini.Then baru think about sampah yg lain.Saya sangkal mana2 pihak yg mengatakan kepimpinan ayahanda lebih teruk.Rakyat malaysia yg membangkang ayahanda pun banyak tak betul.Non educated person kebanyakkan mereka ini yg dalam pembangkang.
    For all press non/international.
    Please think before you writing some thing which is wrong.Its not a good image you guys bring into the reporters world specially th next generation.Think about it.Anwar Ibrahim is always been a rubbish person.Why not start writing something is right.Specially kumpulan2 pembangkang.Kita asyik bercakap tentang pemimpin yg tak betul dalam kerajaan tapi hari ni ramai jugak pembangkang yg tak betul.Kalau betul sangat tiadalah rancangan pembinaan ladang babi di negeri yg ditakluki orang2 bodoh ini.tapi bagus juga pembangkang membina ladang babi ini bolehlah masukkan Anwar Ibrahim,Azmin Ali,Lim kit Siang,Lim guan Eng,Karpal Singh and Co.,Khalid
    Ibrahim,Teresa Kok dan ke semua pemimpin pembangkang dalam ladang babi ini untuk di gantikan dgn ISA.You guys totally the worst human in the whole entire world.More worst then George W bush.
    Kepada Masyarakat Malaysia..
    Jaga lah Alam sekitar kita.Untuk anak2 dan cucu kita.
    To ayahanda Tun,
    Jaga kesihatan always which i know u will.Tgk Nik Aziz tu..Cakap tak serupa bikin.Cakap dgn rakyat jangan merokok la apala..Diri sendiri tak sihat.Bawak berjogging la Nik Aziz.
    Anakanda akan ke johennesburg dan buenos Aires dlam masa dua minggu saya akan merindui Che det.!Saya akan layari laman web ini di mana pun saya berada.
    Remember Pemuda Umno,
    Only Datuk Mukhriz M yg layak menjadi ketua n Khir toyo.The rest all rubbish.You guys knows who..Debat konon.Go and groom yourself first then talk about debat.Macam tu punya attitude nak jadi pemimpin ka?
    To all Judges yg tak sedar diri dulu,
    You guys pun banyak buat kesilapan..Tak payah salahkan orang lain.Saya makin menyampah baca komen2 hakim pasal zaman pemerintahan Tun dahulu.Hakim2 ini patut step down earlier..Bukan Sekarang baru nak tunjuk taring.We call that a LOSER!!
    P/s:Anakanda minta ayahanda kritik lebih banyak tentang Anwar Ibrahim.Pemimpin yg tak boleh pakkai..
    Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun Dr.Mahathir.You always The best!!!

  382. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    You are always being rememberred for the classic actions taken during currency crisis of 1997-98 which saved our country. Of course no doubt there are few people who think otherwise. You are also being rememberred for all the developments, innovations, classic actions, great ideas, etc in pushing the country to a respectful level and the people to believe in ourselves. More than two decades as PM is not a short time. 1981 to 2003 was really the period of many happenings for our nations. Many Malaysian are surely saluting and thanking you for Name Tags, Standardised Time, Dayabumi, Penang Bridge, Langkawi, Putrajaya, KLIA, Cyberjaya, Proton, KLCC, PLUS Highways (and other Highways), LRTs, Sepang Circuit and F1, West Port, Tanjung Pelepas, Link Dua, Air Asia, Hicom, Gutherie, and many more which I lost count of.
    However you do have your fair share of problems and maybe a few blunders if we may call them as such. Whats important is how you dealt with those problems and rectify the blunders. Great leaders not only bring development and prosperity to the country, they also stay strong and firm during adversities and steer the country from damage and destruction.
    The BMF fiasco was during your time. You were instrumental in bringing Anwar into UMNO. UMNO was deregistered in 1988. Few incidences of Share Crashes also happened during your term. There were few others worth mentioning but sadly missing from my memory to be listed here. Please do not get me wrong. I am not blaming you for some of the things that happened. It just that some of the events took place during your time and you had to handle them.
    However, I was not very clear why we had the currency crisis in 1997-98. Why did George Soros attacked our currency then? Some people argue that it was because we left our positions so vulnerable and opened ourselves for the attact. We expanding like there was no tomorrow at that time, borrowing heavily and depending very much for capital inflow from outside. We had our reasons for expansion and developments, but those money traders and manipulators took the opportunity to attact us and tried to cripple us.
    Our another sore point is about our water agreement with our next door neighbour. Why did we missed the date of renegotiation of the rates. Surely after that our neigbour sort of left us speechless when they insist that we have missed the dateline and have to stick with the ridiculous old rate. However I wish to point out that the reason for us to “miss” or to forget the “dateline” if there is a such thing, was because at that time (1986-1988) our leaders in UMNO were busy fighting for the leadership. Anybody remember about that episod? Well, that should be a good lesson for all of us and very important not to be repeated in the future.
    You have your moments Tun, and we are proud of you. Success and problems always comes together. What is important is how we cherish the success and learnt from the mistakes.
    Thanks and best wishes to you Tun and your family.

  383. Dear Tun,
    Can you comment on the ongoing discussion to revert your policy of teaching Maths and Science in English?
    Being an ex-teacher of Maths and a kampung boy who very fortunately studied in National Type English School, I suggest that the English medium school be introduced as SJK(I) to go along with the vernacular schools SJK(C), SJK(T) and the national schools SK.
    This will
    1. Do away with the present half-past-six method of teaching Maths and Science in English. Go to the schools to see how the lessons are conducted and you will know what I mean.
    2. Unite our rakyat. Our Constitution allows vernacular schools and I think you have said before that no other country in the world allows such an education system. When a child goes to Year One, he will realise that he is a Malay, Chinese or an Indian. This system disintegrates. We cannot change this system because of our Constitution and race politics. So the best way is to introduce SJK(I) and I am sure many far-sighted parents will send their children there. And, this school will surely integrate our students as Malaysians just like back to the old days where we kampung boys, Ali, Ah Chong and Samy started speaking English a few months after starting Year One with zero English.
    3. Improve the standard of English. This system will definitely bring back the first generation of Malaysians who can speak and write English fluently as well as more knowledgeable as they will able to catch up with the fast moving world of computer technology. Most of our past and present leaders and successful Malaysian were products of the English medium schools.
    Tun, I hope you will comment on this.
    Regards,
    power, Taiping.

  384. Salam Tun..
    Each time I need to dispose rubbish at home, your point no. 5 cross my mind. I would like to do so, but I only see the bins in tv.
    As for your Interview by BBC, shame on you DSAI, infinity.
    Keep on writing Tun, as I enjoy gaining intelligent knowledge from your writings, whether or not I agree to it.
    Thank you.

  385. Dear Tun,
    Don’t worry, we the majority knows that the currency crisis was overcome by you and not DSAI.
    As a gentleman, he should come out and politely decline responsibility for the action. But then we all know he is nowhere of being a gentleman.
    I have noticed many commentators here criticise you and i believe that these are people who have personal gruges because they do not get what they want. Some asked you to shut up but i am amused that they keep reading your blog and keep giving the same old comments. Don’t they realise that they are enjoying reading your blog as many of us here do.
    Setting up of incinerator like Japan sounds like a good idea but then again it bore down to the implementation of the upkeep. So sad to say our malaysian attitute is not like that of Japan. Japan is so clean and people hardly throw rubbish anywhere and everywhere.
    A couple of years back, i was in Putrajaya in one of the government office. I look up the ceiling and was shock to see that the building is in such a sorry state. There were cobwebs and the lights had drop off and was dangling halfway. I told a security guard and he said there was no one to repair it.
    Malaysian authorities are so corrupted that it is difficult to implement anything. You can see dirty restaurants and canteens get away with punishment. Why, because they have paid the local authorities or the individual some “duit kopi”. Those who do not pay will be slap with a fine and asked to close down. Even the pubs and cafe with illegal immigrants will get away with punishment.
    I have personally seen the authorities came and check a pub but they left the place after asking for a few ics. They left the place smiling and shaking hands with the owner and we patrons know that there are many illegals working there especially the ever so popular china girls.
    If the award to upkeep the incinerator project are not politically motivated, it think it may work out as the company who was awarded the project may fear losing it if they do not do their job properly. But sad to say many of these awards will be given to government cronies and they are so strong and confident that they would not lose this project that they do not do care about the upkeep.
    This is only my opinion Tun. I believe Tun meant well but it is the attitute of the people and the implementation of the law that have to be changed first.

  386. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    I would like to respond on the COMMENTS. I strongly agreed that most of the commenter s just can put all the blame on you without any supporting proof and facts. That

  387. salam Tun..
    saya nk bwa isu ATM untuk mendapat pandangan Tun..mengapa bajet untuk pertahanan bagi saya begitu daif berbanding dengan singapore?tidakkah Tun menganggap ini satu ancaman pada masa depan?persoalan satu lagi,saya begitu bersemangat untuk menjadi anggota tentera tetapi semangat itu hilang apabila mengetahui organisasi tentera kita kurang mementingkan aspek agama,kita lebih meniru ketenteraan ala barat yang berfoya2..majoriti tentera kita tidak solat dan berpuasa pada bulan ramadhan..
    minta Tun bagi pandangan,tq.
    drpd separa tentera……

  388. Dear Tun..,
    Semasa interview pertama mengenai kes helikopter PLah kata kosnya RM1.7 billion. Lepas tu dia kata silap, kos sebenarnya RM1.607 billion. Pegawainya inform kos sebenar RM1.607 billion jadi PLah bundarkan nilainya jadi RM1.7 billion. Ini hanya kes akedemik shj kata PLah.
    Saya yang SPM Math 7 pun tahu macamna nak bundar.
    RM1.607 genapkan = RM1.61
    If RM1.657 then = RM1.7
    Conclusion is = Tahap IQ sy lebih tinggi dr PLah hehehe jgn jeles..!

  389. salam tun,
    inilah kali pertama saya memberikan sedikit ulasan dalam blog tun.
    saya amat menyanjungi tun sebagai seorang tokoh negarawan yang terulung yang bukan sahaja dikagumi di malaysia tapi di serata dunia.apa yang saya perhatikan sepanjang saya mengikuti blog tun, setiap pandangan tun disertakan dengan fakta2.ini yang menjadikan saya sering tertunggu2 pandangan2 tun berhubung isu2 yang diutarakan.
    sekarang barulah jelas di mata apa yang cuba dilakukan tun sebelum, semasa dan selepas pemerintahan tun.
    antara peristiwa yang bagi saya cukup bersejarah sewaktu mula2 pemerintahan tun ialah peristiwa “Dawn Attack”. Macam sukar hendak dipercayai pada mulanya. Dan sukar bagi saya untuk mengetahui keadaan di sebalik peristiwa ini yang mencipta satu sejarah yg tidak mungkin dilupakan oleh orang putih seandai tidak diceritakan sendiri oleh orang-orang penting yang terlibat dalam peristiwa itu.
    Saya berharap tun dapat menceritakan sedikit sebnayak berkenaan peristiwa itu.
    akhir kata semoga tun dan keluarga dipanjang umur serta dijauhi daripada hasad dengki dan perbuatan orang-orang yang tidak bertanggunjawab.
    salam daripada keluarga kami buat tun berdua serta keluarga yang tercinta.

  390. salam TUN.
    saya mula tertarik mengikuti kisah Tun semenjak Tun meletakkan jawatan.sbb bagi saya mesti ada sesuatu yang akan berlaku kenapa Tun meletak jawatan. tanda tanya itu membuatkan saya mengikut semua kisah Tun dan mengungkai semua sejarah Tun. dengan tujuan untuk mengenali cara permikiran Tun.
    Saya hormati Tun dengan seseorang yang berpandangan jauh dan saya kagum dengan kebolehan yang Allah beri kepada Tun. secara jujur saya amat cemburi dengan cara Tun berfikir dan merancang kerana semuanya umpama suatu khayalan bila ditutur tetapi menjadi sesuatu yang bermakna bila di aplikasikan.
    Apa yang saya mengerti dan faham semenjak sya mengikuti kisah Tun dan melalui apa yang saya belajar adalah org biasa tidak akan tercakup atau memahami apa yang Tun rancang kerana mereka tidak faham atau tidak mengamalkan pemikiran jauh atau kerana mereka ini terlalu tamak dan mereka takut akan perubahan kerana ianya akan merugikan mereka. perasaan ingin menjadi kaya memang wujud dlm stp diri manusia tetapi sebagai pemimpin kepentingan rakyat dan negara perlu diutamakan tanpa mengira ingin mengaut keuntungan dari projek2 yang akan dijalankn.
    Ketua pemimpin perlu arif dlm bidang teknologi,sains,ekonomi,phisikology, dan agama.kerana merekalah penentu kepada perkembangan negara.
    Setiap penulisan Tun perlu dijadiakn pengajaran dan bahan rujukan,bukannya dijadiakn bahan untuk memburukkan org lain. jgn simpan perasaan benci dan dendam terhadap org lain kerana dunia tidak akn aman dengannya.

  391. Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
    On your comment:
    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    My comment:
    1.At the beginning of your colourful 22yrs at the helm Tun,people could see genuinity of true leadership esp with refreshing campaign ie Bersih Cekap Amanah,Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan,Look East Policy etc.But towards the end you are focusing
    your energy on strenghtening your grip to power:judiciary,Perlembagaan,UMNO power struggle,Raja-raja.Isn’t that evidence enough for you?
    2.It’s hard to blame people for making judgement on you.Human nature is to blame others accept own self,this including yourself Tun

  392. Salam Tun & fellow bloggers,
    On your comment:
    2. I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.
    My comment:
    1.At the beginning of your colourful 22yrs at the helm Tun,people could see genuinity of true leadership esp with refreshing campaign ie Bersih Cekap Amanah,Kepimpinan Melalui Teladan,Look East Policy etc.But towards the end you are focusing
    your energy on strenghtening your grip to power:judiciary,Perlembagaan,UMNO power struggle,Raja-raja.Isn’t that evidence enough for you?
    2.It’s hard to blame people for making judgement on you.Human nature is to blame others accept own self,this including yourself Tun
    3.Since we all know your contributions to our beloved country,why don’t you list down all you mistakes/weakneses.Don’t let people shoot in the dark
    4.Please Tun for once admit your past mistakes.You are not an Angel

  393. Salam Tun,
    Apa yang amat sedih sekali adalah pandangan umum tentang incinerator. Mereka dimomok-momokkan dengan gambaran kepulan asap yang tebal yang meliputi ruang angkasa dan menggangu persekitaran. Padahal tidak sebegitu dimana incinerator ini akan membakar bahan buangan dan segala fumes yang dihasilkan pada suhu yang mencecah lebih 1000 degree celcius.
    Di Europe incinerator ini telah lama digunkan untuk menjana tenaga elektrik dari hasil buangan dan mereka menjana kuasa sehingga 15 mega watt hours. Di negara kita baru nak bermula tetapi kurang galakkan, sokongan dan pendedahan. Di Semenyih ada satu pusat pelupusan yang baru beroperasi sepenuhnya beberapa bulan yang lepas dengan menggunakan incinerator bagi menjana elektrik.
    Alangkah baiknya kiranya ada beberapa incinerator di negeri-negeri lain bagi menjana kuasa disamping menjaga persekitaran.

  394. Asalamualaikum YAB Tun,
    Kadang-kadang saya hairan melihat manusia yang tidak menggunakan akal fikiran apabila memuja seseorang. Contohnya pengikut Anwar Ibrahim yang sangat fanatik. Apabila kita berbincang dengan mereka, mereka langsung tidak mahu menerima fakta. Mereka benar-benar percaya yang Anwar akan membela nasib orang Melayu sedangkan secara teran-terangan mereka dapat melihat orang kanan dan kirinya adalah Cina. Menteri Besar PKR sendiri secara terbuka telah mencadangkan beberapa perkara yang mencabar hak-hak orang Melayu – contoh : kes UITM, wang zakat diberi sama rata kpd rakyat, dan banyak lagi. Baru-baru ini pengikut mereka ada satu lagi cerita dongeng, kononnya Lim Guan Eng sedang belajar untuk menjadi seorang Islam. Kononnya dia amat terpesona dengan Islam. Perkara bodoh macam ini pun mereka percaya. Sedih melihat manusia pandai menjadi bodoh kerana terlalu fanatik.
    Kerajaan sekarang pun ada juga melakukan perkara bodoh kerana mengikut petunjuk orang-orang yang bodoh. COntohnya, menaikkan harga minyak secara mendadak dan apabila takut rakyat memberontak, memberi pula ganjaran dalam bentuk wang tunai. Maka terbanglah beratus juta ringgit duit tanpa apa tujuan. Sekarang diturunkan pula harga minyak mengikut harga pasaran dunia. Pun tak banyak mana. Tapi harga barangan dipasaran tak turun juga. Namun sibodoh yang mencadangkan menaikkan harga minyak dulu tu, senyap saja. Tak nampak pun orang tu pergi melawat ke pasaraya. Cuma baru ni saja ada pergi ke Giant buat promosi penurunan harga barang. Kekadang saya terfikir, patutlah Tun sendiri masa menjadi PM dulu, tak pernah menaikkan orang ini untuk menjadi menteri. Kerana Tun tahu orang ini hanya pandai bercakap tapi tak pandai berkerja.
    Semuga kita semua dilindungi dari malapetaka. Harap-harap orang baru yang akan naik ni, akan menerima nasihat Tun dan tak sombong bodoh demi kesejateraan bersama.

  395. assalamualaikum tok det,
    i agreed with you.
    but there’s another question across my mind
    how about all the rubbish in the gov admin.
    where should we dump them???

  396. Dear Tun
    Phew, thanks for your positive comment on Singapore, the new water. Nice to receive your rare compliment of us, I must say. Good health to you, Tun.

  397. SALAM,
    Jesselabu,naffyjc point taken,aab,anwar not only talk rubbish they reaallly dump rubbish soo many drama from this tak guna person.i rather switch off tv than listen this 2 nonsence people.from my view
    they are really born NOT to be a leader,they not talk from their honest heart.FUEL PRICE CUT, MY COMMENT,TRYING HARD TO POPULISE HIMSELF.
    THE FACT IS DISASTER HAS BEEN MADE.YOU BETTER SHUTUP GO TO HELL
    WASSALAM.MOGA TUN SEHAT WALAFIAT,TERUSKAN NIAT BAIK .KITA RAKYAT KITA ADA HAK. BERANI BERUBAH
    FROM NAPO WZ LOVE.TERINGAT MASA PERTAMA KALI CIUM TANGAN TUN.YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE TUN.TERUSKAN INNSYAALLAH. AMEEEN

  398. Salam dear Tun. I am a foreigner but I am really interested in your unique experience. Keep talking sir. Let the people know what is right and what is wrong. May Allah be always with you. To me you are a true Islamic leader who inspired any serious Muslim around the world. Finally I have one question: I really can not understand why a respectable leader like DS Nik Azi Nik Mat supports a man like DS Anwar Ibraim?!! (Everything is v. clear) I may understand why seculars support Anwar or even the new Islamists like those in Turkey but big leaders support him, why???!!!

  400. Salam tun:
    1.Kebersihan itu sangat dituntut dalam agama,bukan sekadar bersih hati sahaja tapi bersih dari segala makanan yang bersumberkan haram atau subhat bahkan bersih diri dan persekitaran itu juga penting.
    2.Kaedah pembuangan sampah dan pengurusan sampah yang tidak sistematik boleh mendatangkan kesan buruk kepada kesihatan .Banyak penyakit bawaan air dan angin melalui vektor seperti lalat,tikus dan sebagainya berpunca dari tempat yang kotor.Pembiakan nyamuk aedes juga banyak terjadi bila air bersih bertakung dalam tin tin kosong dan sebagainya ditempat pembuangan sampah.
    3.Disamping kesedaran orang ramai perlu ditekankan,orang yang terlibat secara langsung dengan proses pemungutan sampah seperti majlis daerah dan perbandaran perlu lebih efisien dalam perkhidmatan mereka.biasanya sewaktu kita bayar lesen permis perniagaan dengan majlis daerah ,mereka berjanji untuk memungut sampah sekurang-kurangnya 2 kali seminggu,namun apa yang terjadi sebaliknya,2 minggu sekali atau lebih teruk lagi sebulan sekali.
    4.Cadangan tun untuk memperluaskan penggunaan incinerator itu sangat baik berbanding cara pelupusan sampah melalui kaedah tanam dalam tanah.
    5.Dulu kat tv ada iklan pasal buang sampah ni…guna tong-tong yang tertentu…tapi yang saya tak setuju ialah cara budak lelaki itu menyepak botol kaca kedalam tong sampah…objektif iklan itu betul tapi kaedahnya salah.sekarang ni rasanya iklan tu dah tak ada.
    6.Semoga orang orang bijak dinegara kita ini sentiasa membuat kajian dan inovasi bagaimana mahu mengitar semula sampah itu untuk menghasilkan sesuatu yang boleh dikomersilkan.Pernah dulu ada kajian seorang pensyarah universiti mereka cipta penghasilan jubin dan genting dengan menggunakan sekam padi…dan hasil ciptaannya itu rasanya mendapat ISO dan menang anugerah diperingkat antarabangsa pula.
    7.Semoga tun berdua sihat selalu.saya doakan semoga mukhriz menang dan membawa perubahan besar dalam umno.Tun bila nak masuk umno?

  401. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Anwar is such a lamer when he claimed the credits that do not belongs to him. Lembu punya susu sapi dapat nama? What a shame! Lamer!
    I wonder why his fans still strongly believe in him even though his track record was not an outstanding one. The worst perhaps! I can’t imagine what will happen to our beloved Malaysia if the IMF strategy was implemented then.
    And for your brave and genius efforts, I would like to say: Thank you very much, Sir! I admire your style of leadership very much. Hopefully, you will never stop writing and expressing your opinion.
    Dengan izin,

  402. Dear Tun,
    Just would like to share some information about topic of rubbish.FYI, i has been staying in Japan for 2 years. It really impress me to seeing japanese are well-educated in rubbish throwing and more importantly, they practise it and apply in daily life. people were told how to differentiate the rubbish they are going to dump into the dustbinS.Information and instruction given at the rubbish throw area or even symbols printed on the dustbin,either it is recycle-able, plastic, burn-able, liquid contains(eg battery), metals etc.Why our country can not practise such habit.Despite environmental problem, its one of the many ways to save our country’s expenses.Government always announce and show figure how much rubbish malaysian had thrown yearly and how much goverment spend in order to settle the rubbish.Well, thats our current/former goverment culture.No long term solution,implementation and real action in solving problem. Even through implement some steps will finally change it or just cancel it after spending million’s of RM.
    Just a suggestion to all chedet’s fans, lets start practising to differentiate rubbish, just in 3 types:
    1) burn-able: paper, tissue,…etc
    2) unburn-able: plactic, mineral water container,…
    3) Perishable
    well, another question comes is that, after we differentiate the rubbish, the authority or the staff who go and collect your rubbish will just dump into the lori sampah and bring to ‘bukit sampah’, like what we can see when we travel along MRR2 after Batu cave towards kepong.As rakyat, we had finished our responsibily, its the turn of the goverment to settle the remaining process.Unfortunately, our goverment fail to do so.
    Anyway,start practise, what we need to do is implemention and real action.
    Just a simple question:
    Tun, did you or your family practise to differentiate the types of rubbish?
    Take care and bless you and your family in good health all the time.
    Regards,
    cheanoi

  403. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda,
    Ha!Ha!Ha! What a joke ! It was Anwar’s idea who introduce the pegging. The reporter must be an idiot and Anwar as far as I know is a moron .
    Ayahanda , when it comes to hygiene , M’sia citizens are the worst . We have the 1st. class facilities but our people mentalities are 3rd. class . Basic hygiene must be taught from home . In Japan, the kids in the kindergarten have been taught if they want to throw the rubbish but can’t find any of the bins , they have to keep it until they get home .
    So , everything starts from home .

  404. assalamualaikum tun,
    semoga dlm kesihatan dan sejahtera selalu.
    Saya akui tentang tahap kecanggihan insinerator di Jepun yg mana terletak ditgh2 kawasan perumahan dan juga ditgh2 sawah padi.
    Insinerator tersebut tidak kotor, tidak berbau dan juga boleh mengjanakuasa tenaga elektrik.
    Tetapi point yg bebeza antara Jepun dan Malaysia adalah tahap kebersihan lori2 yg membawa sampah2 tsb. Saya bermotor di sini (Jepun) dan sering berkesempatan untuk mengikuti belakang lori2 sampah ini dan mmg diakui ianya tiada bau ataupun air2 kotor meleleh dari lori tsb. Melihatkan keadaan lori2 sampah diMsia amatlah kotor, berbau dari jauh dan air kotor meleleh keluar dari lori menyebabkan kadangkala penduduk terpaksa membasuh jalan untuk menghilangkan bau tsb.
    Mungkin akan datang, sekiranya masalah lori2 sampah ini dapat diatasi, rakyat Msia juga boleh bersedia untuk menerima kehadiran sebuah insinerator canggih di kwsn. perumahan masing2. Insyaallah.

  405. We Know very well that DSAI did not advocte pegging and the elimination of CLOB (Central Limit Order Book) since yougsters do not realised someone else or his supporters in the West just claim on his behalf to give the credit.
    I just read a book memo of Ahmad Mustapha Hassan (Tun Probably know him )while he work during and fully support Tun Razak ways , style and strategies but he blame Tun Det as a failure for not eridicating rural poverty!!!
    Anylising his book I realised that poor work man always blame his tools.He tried but fail to enter the Coporate World during Tun Time.
    Actually being in rural develompement mode he do not realised that education among the second generation bumi from rural areas and continous economic growth during Tun Det time creat vast enployement that not only benifited the rural young then , even at darjah enam get employed and able to earn property etc. The spill over goes to Indon,Inidan,Pakistan,Napalese to this day!!!
    Now it common to find Sabahan and Sarawakian Bumi working in Putrajaya (goverment and private)and as far north as Kedah. This what education and DEB has done.
    Wealth and multiplier is not in the rural but in the cities.Where there dense population there more demand for good and services. Now bumi small bussiness(gerai) is sprawling every where. Pasar Ramdan is climac when every join in commerce. This no such thin prior 1980s.Bumi attitude toward bussiness has change though investing in shophouse is still far behind.( Probably earning does not give enough capital to invest properties or much capital burned away in Skim Cepat kaya like : Labu Peram,Pak Man Telo,Skim 350 and lately internet not to mention carried away by Geroge Soros through stock market!!!)

  406. Good Morning Tun,
    I am rakyat, i am a tax payer and i have this bad habit of wanting the govt to do everything for me.Thats what you are trying to say right? thats true becoz, i have been watching helplessly when taxpayers money are siphoned witout remorse or accountabality by the administration for lots of unnecessary things like:
    1) Paying compensation to the crooked bridge contractor around 200 million because our PM said today we will build the bridge.then after 1 month, said we are not going to build.
    2)Buy indelible ink for 2 million just to lips service the rakyat abt transparency but infact there is not a slightest intetntion to use it.
    3)RM5 billion of EPF money to help Valuecap make their profit without havin to fork out a single cent of their money.
    4)The billions of ringgit used to bailout cronies and self interest related companies and person during your time till now.
    5)Purchasing things for govt agencies at extorbitant prices and couldnt be bothered or no need to explain to anyone.These purchases includes buying of govt office stationeries up to the purchase of billion dollar warships and airplanes which are not transparent at all.
    6) Sending a guy to space by spending more than 100 million ringgit ( of course the russians have offset it with the sukhoi purchase, but at the same time, any idiot can see that the price have been marked up to include this space trip too)
    And how many more you want? I think the rakyat dont want to read what they have already know. We are watching helplessly when our country’s riches are being robbed by the same people who are suppose to lead and protect us.
    Is it wrong for us to be calculative when all these moneys robbed in billions for self interest, we also would like the govt to spend a few million to take care of our interest.After all, we are asking after paying the tax, unlike this political species, they are parasites who doesnt pay for anything and enjoy everything at the expense of the people and yet, still greedy and rob our money by billions.
    is it wrong Tun for the rakyat to have this kind of attitude? You want change? Tell the leaders to change first. Use our money wisely and show us the accounts. then we will change.

  407. Dear Tun,
    Of course we Malaysians have higher standards. We’re ahead of everyone in everything. Just look at our economy. Singaporeans are struggling, households with income of SGD 1,800 p/mth are considered living in poverty.. Germany’s economy, the strongest in europe has collapsed, never mind the rest of europe, USA led the way.. but Malaysia, yes, Malaysia, we’re safe, we’re ok, we won’t get hit!
    As for sorting out rubbish, we should also have a system where annually people vote on their Ministers’ performance. Each Minister should be accorded the 3 bins:
    green- recycle,performing well, they can continue into the next year,
    brown- destroy, get rid of ’em
    yellow – we’re giving you another year to buck up.
    But even with that system, we all may have problems still. If we cannot identify anyone to go into the green bin, we’d then have little practice sorting out anything! All will go into only the brown bin, so we’d have nothing to sort or think where to place!

  408. Salam Tun,
    Semoga sehat selalu. BBC & banyak lagi media barat ialah “mouth-piece” agenda barat, tidak heranlah kalau mereka sokong “traitors” bangsa & negara. Tentang rubbish memang masa’alah kronik, pihak berkuasa yang berkenaan, YB-YB dipersila-kan membuat tinjauan ke kawasan perumahan, Taman Perling di Johor Bahru & dll.
    Sekian, Terima kasih, Wassalam.

  409. YABhg Tun yang dikasihi
    Sejak semlm lagi sy masih menunggu penulisan Tun.Pagi-pagi lagi sy dtg pejabat sy buka blog Tun tunggu perkara baru yg Tun akan tulis tp hampa kerana tiada.Hah kejap td buka semula ada,suka sungguh sy.
    Tun………..
    Perkara yg Tun tulis kali ini mmg sy jangkakan kerana 2 hari lepas sy dengar berita ttg incinerator yg nk dipasang/buat dibatalkan.Amat terkejut juga sy dgr kerana satu yg baik dan amat diperlukan dibatal. Sy nampak byk timbunan sampah walaupun mmg tempat buangan sampah (di jln MRR2 menghala ke Kepong).Sampai bila dan lama mana tempat itu boleh menampung????????????
    Bab kebersihan……..masya’Allah orang malaysia yg mempunyai kemudahan taraf dunia dan boleh dikata maju tp memiliki minda/sikap bukan kelas ketiga tp LOW CLASS.Sikap pengotor dan tiada civic minded langsung (walau bkn semua tp kebanyakkannya).Yg tinggal di ulu-ulu kampung lagi bersih………..
    Tandas-tandas cantik yg disediakan dh jadi mcm tak taulah nk cakap mcm mana.Takut sy nk guna melainkan dh tak tahan itu pun kena jadi toilet cleaner le……….Malu pd pelancong yg dtg.
    Tun……..
    Ttg perkara penambatan kewangan masa dunia asia kegawatan semua orang tahu siapa yg hampir menjahanamkan ekonomi negara.Kedangkalan pengikut-pengikut DSAI tu dh termaklum.Cakaplah apa pun mereka ni dh tak boleh fikir secara rasional dan buta hati kerana taksub.
    Elok juga Tun ditemubual oleh BBC dan dpt tahu perkara ini. Sekurang-kurangnya Tun merendah diri mengakui dibantu sama oleh orang lain.Bkn setakat pegging je malah DSAI pun pernah mengaku dia mengilhamkan UIAM dan Bank Islam.Dia patut rasa malu dgn perbuatan dan kenyataannya. Bidaah dan mulut manis adalah modal survival dia.
    Sy juga tonton temubual Atma Khas Awani Ch 501 dgn Tun. Mlm tadi dpt tonton Hello Malaysia temubual dgn DSRYatim. DSRY amat memuji Tun dan bahasa kiasan dan peribahasa yg diguna amat menarik. Sy doakan beliau melepasi keperluan melayakkannya bertanding nanti. Satu je yg amat ODD dan tak rasional kenapa pemilihan UMNO dibuat pada Mac 2009?????.Sy berpendapat ada sebab yang amat kukuh untuk dipercayai knp DSAAB tak mau-mau turun tahta sekarang……….tp tak boleh le nk cakap disini nanti kena saman.Sy tak mampu le nk tempoh semua tu.
    YABhg Tun teruskan menulis lagi.Wasallam.

  410. Salam Tun,
    Welcome to the Rubbish Era.Rubbish Government by Rubbish Parliamentarians making Rubbish Decisions with Rubbish Impelentatations.Stopping using the incinerator means they want the country to be like them,RUBBISH.They appoint Senators with dubious track records,Ministers those who lose an election and another not nominated to stand for the last one.Making rash decision on petrol pricing that are causing hardships to the poor.Personally I think the next PM cannot catch up the lead you had set,as he had announce that he will surrender concessions earlier then the time
    that you had set.
    Tun,you comments or proposals 10 years ago, i.e,Hedge Funds,Bail Out,Speculations,The Dinars and The Asian Caucus are the causes and solutions for the dresent day World Economic Downturn.
    Soldier On TUN

  411. salam Tun,
    saya masih ingat semasa DSAI dipecat dulu,tersangat ramai orang termasuk beberapa sedara mara saya yang mengata dan mengumpat Tun melampau.
    Antara tohmahan yang saya dengar;
    1.Tun ada berhala dalam rumah
    2.Tun tak sembahyang
    3.Tun digelar MAHAFIRAUN,MAHAZALIM dan macam2 MAHA lagi
    Itu yang saya dengar,caci maki yang lain lebih teruk agaknya.
    DI SINI SAYA MENYERU KEPADA MEREKA-MEREKA YANG BERDOSA BESAR MENGATA,MENGUMPAT,MENCACI,MEMAKI TUN SELAMA INI AGAR MEMOHON AMPUN DAN MAAF DARI TUN SEBELUM SALAH SEORANG DARI ANDA PERGI BUAT SELAMA-LAMANYA.
    PADA MASA ITU NANTI SEGALANYA SUDAH TERLAMBAT DAN ANDA TANGGUNG DOSA ANDA SAMPAI KEAKHIR HAYAT.
    Saya perhati agak ramai juga yang meminta maaf dari Tun secara online sempena Hari Raya Aidilfitri yang baru lepas.Mereka mengaku banyak mengata Tun dahulu dan baru sedar kesalahan mereka.Ini satu petanda yang baik.
    Saya seru agar anda semua yang terasa supaya segera berbuat demikian secepat mungkin.
    Wassallam

  412. Assalamualaikum Tun
    Saya ingin memberi komen terhadap isu incinerator seperti yang Tun ketengahkan.
    1. Saya rasa Tun agak salah dalam memberi pengertian bahawa rakyat Malaysia tidak atau enggan menerima Sistem Incinerator ini. Apakah dengan adanya bantahan atau gesaan dari rakyat yang tidak menerima sistem ini dilokasi mereka boleh dianggap sebagai menolak mentah2 usaha kawalan alam sekitar menerusi pembersihan berteknologi tinggi ini? Saya amat tidak bersetuju berdasarkan faktor berikut :
    a. Adakah sewaktu sistem ini ingin diperkenalkan, ia dihebahkan dengan sejelas-jelasnya kepada rakyat Malaysia. Apa yang saya lihat hanya beberapa kerat akhbar utama menyiarkan kebaikan sistem ini dan untuk tempoh waktu yang agak singkat. Ingat, rakyat Malaysia bukanlah tergolong dalam majoriti yang suka membaca.
    b. Mengapa sistem ini tidak diuasahakan supaya diletakkan dikawasan YAB atau Elit terlebih dahulu. Rakyat ingin melihat samada ada bantahan atau tidak? Saya rasa pasti ada kerana sudah menjadi kebiasaan di Malaysia, rakyat marhaen yang perlu menanggung terlebih dahulu segala musibah. Lihat saja jalanraya yang berlubang, beralun atau rosak. Jika tiada orang besar2 lalu disitu atau yang terkena kemalangan membabitkan orang atasan, jalan itu tetap berlubang dan rosak hingga mengambil masa yang tidak logiknya terlalu panjang dan kontrak yang dilantik pula hanya menurap secara lepas tangan.
    c. Adakah jaminan bahawa lori-lori yang mengangkut sampah menerusi kawasan perumahan ke lokasi incinerator tersebut tidak menumpahkan cairan sampah yang meloyakan atau menerbangkan sampah2 secara sesuka hati? Sehingga sekarang pun masalah tumpahan, sampah berterbangan atau bau busuk lori2 ini tidak langsung mendapat perhatian pihak perbandaran inikan pula lori2 untuk incinerator. Mahukah pihak YAB semua jika lori2 yang meloyakan ini melalui kawasan perumahan anda ke incinerator?
    d. Akan adakah penguatkuasa yang mencukupi dan TIDAK KORUP untuk memantau proses atau perjalanan incinerator ini dan lori2 yang terlibat? Jika isu sekarang dengan kurangnya penguatkuasa dan ada yang KORUP tidak diselesaikan, saya rasa incinerator inipun akan menjadi projek menyakitkan hati dan mata rakyat.
    e. Jaminan dari segi keselamatan terhadap incinerator atau lori2 gila yang keluar masuk. Adakah Malaysia akan turut menjemput pemandu2 gila yang berada dijalan sekarang untuk menjadi pemandu lori incinerator ini atau pemandu tidak berlesen dari pendatang asing. Semua ini sudah terbukti berlaku.
    Saya dan rakyat bukanlah menyekat kemajuan dan tidak menerima teknologi. Kami mengalu-alukan dengan tangan terbuka malahan tujuan murni untuk memelihara alam sekitar amatlah dipersetujui. Tetapi jika masalah atau isu seperti yang saya utarakan tidak diselesaikan, ia tetap ditentang. Tun tidaklah boleh sentiasa membandingkan rakyat Malaysia dengan Jepun. Kita umpama langit dan bumi. Rakyat Jepun sudah terdidik dengan disiplin yang tinggi sejak sekian lama. Sudah tentu mereka mudah menerima sesuatu yang memberi kebaikan kepada mereka kerana mereka tahu merekalah yang berkuasa terhadap pemimpin mereka. Kita? Jangan harap seorang menteri, ketua jabatan, ketua unit akan meletakkan jawatan kerana bertanggungjawab terhadap sesuatu isu yang melibatkan kepentingan awam.
    Kita dari pemimpin, kerajaan dan rakyat perlu mendisiplinkan diri kita terlebih dahulu sebelum kita boleh menerima sistem terbaru. Tun tentu sedar bagaimana keadaan tandas kita masih seperti zaman penjajahan dahulu. Tandas duduk pun masih ramai yang gagal memahami untuk menggunakannya. Teknologi yang sebegini asas dan kecilpun kita masih tergagap-gagap apatah lagi sistem besar yang memerlukan sumbangan atau peranan semua yang terlibat dari rumah. Bermula dari kefahaman tinggi kita untuk menyusun sampah mengikut kategori [gelas, kertas,plastik dll], buang didalam tong, lori incinerator yang berdisiplin dan cekap, penguatkuasa yang tegas dan tidak korup, pemimpin tempatan yang sentiasa berhubungan dan juga tidak korup, pengurus incinerator yang bertanggungjawab dan sebagainya. Atau adakah itu semua hanya mimpi angan2 mat jenin di Malaysia?

  413. Dah dekat 10 juta hit. Bila 10 juta, Tun buat lah kenduri kesyukuran untuk kami-kami ni.
    Saya baru tengok kartun “Simpson The Movie”.
    Di permulaannya dia kata “It is stupid of me to come and pay for a movie that I can watch for free on TV”.
    Blog Tun ni Tun bagi semua orang baca tetapi masih ada orang sebagai memorabilia membeli buku yang mengumpulkan catatan dalam Blog Tun ni.
    So my point Tun.
    I don’t have a point.
    It is better to write this useless comment rather than most who try to tunjuk pandai tapi bodoh fakta dan pemikiran.

  414. TUN yang dihormati.
    Posting TUN tentang sampah sarap yang mengotorkan dan tiada amalan menjaga kebersehan memang seakan telah menjadi budaya rakyat.
    Nilai2 menjaga kebersehan diri dan persekitaran mesti dididik dari kecil.
    Saya pernah ke Germany beberapa kali kerana urusan company. Dan saya melihat tahap penjagaan kebersehan persekitaran. Amat menakjubkan. Anak2 sungai bergitu bersih sehingga boleh nampak ikan2 dan samai2 yang tumbuh dalam nya.
    Persekitaran perumahan,kilang2 dan pusat bandar cukup berseh.
    Disamping rakyat dididik untuk amalan kebersehan ini, pehak kareajaan juga memainkan peranan yang pro active. Segala macam penguat kuasa dan peralatan atau kemudahan awam dalam urusan ini disediakan dengan bergitu teratur dan terancang.
    Contoh,di setiap tempat tumpuan awam seperti taman2, terminal keretapi atau pusat bandar, tong sampah disedikan sebegitu banyak. Setiap linkungan 100m persegi satu atau 3 jenis tong sampah disediakan. Tidak ada alasan untuk orang membuang sampah merata2.
    Bergitu juga tandas awam juga dijaga cukup berseh sehingga saya rasa boleh makan nasi lemak dalam nya, no problem.
    Tapi apa yang menarik nya, negara ini tidak mengalakan pengunaan bahan2 plastik.Botol2 minuman semua dari kaca atau tin.Tiada bunkusan beg plastik macam kita beli kat pasar malam. Semua bungkusan dibuat dari kertas.Wanita2 sana pergi market bawa beg sendiri, kerana tidak akan diberi beg plastik. Kalau nak beg plastik kena bayar lain.
    Kegunaan bahan plastik bergitu terhad. Plastik tidak boleh hadam di tanam dan sukar dikitar semula. Kawasan perumahan disediakan 3 jenis tong sampah.
    Tapi agak terkejut bila saya ke Paris tahun 97 Sungguh menjijikan kalau pergi ketandas awam nya. Di taman2 sampah bersepah. Di setesen keretapi tidak ada tong sampah disediakan. Sampah2 di longok kat tiang2 saja.Tapi saya tak tahu lah kalu dah berubah sekarang.
    Malah semasa pergi ke Eifel Tower tak nampak tandas awam. Terpaksa cari pokok untuk melepaskan overflow. Taman2 nya busuk, bau kencing. Dan jika melancung ke Paris, jangan asyik pandang atas. Jaga2 kerana mungkin terpijak najis anjing. Warga Paris suka bersiar2 dengan anjing. Jadi nya KL ada sikit berseh dari Paris.
    Maseh teringat terserempak kereta Proton Wira A/B kat Stuttgard.pada tahun 02. Dan bila kawan dari Sri Langka kata”Hey! Man! Look, it’s your car” Bangga juga lah kereta kita ada kat Germany ketika itu.

  415. Dear Tun
    This western journalist,don’t like you and I think they simply want to hurt your feeling. Many things that they reported is not true but since it is reported again and again, it looks as if it is the truth.Many peoples like to quote what the western scholars says including Anuar Ibrahim ,and people says he is religious because he has a little beard and you don’t. Anwar and Asshari arqam knows how to cheat the malays, by appearance, while you give attention to priorities and important commands of Allah. You are more religious than anuar and asshari but most malays do not accept that.They want hypocrites that anuar to rule them. what a stupid the malays is

  416. Assalammualaikum…. Tun dan keluarga..
    Setelah negara mencapai kemerdekaan negara kita masih lagi menghadapi masalah kebersihan atau sampah yang telah menjadi amalan rakyat malaysia yang kurang perihatin. Seolah-seolah perkara ini adalah menjadi kebiasaan dalam masyarakat.Cuba lihat apa yang berlaku dipenang yang boleh dikatakan pencemaran sampah yang teruk dan mengotorkan terutama dalam sungai dan lain-lain. Adakah ini budaya dalam masyarakat hari ini?? Adakah perkara ini masih dipandang seperti tiada apa2 oleh pihak yang berwajid?? Dimanakah tindakan??? Semoga selepas ini rakyat malaysia akan merubah amalan ini dan perihatin tentang alam sekitar dan udara dalam malaysia supaya budaya sampah dapat dikurangkan.

  417. Assalammualaikum Tun,
    As per normal, we Malaysians would know how to talk and critised other people. Thos who know best to talk and critised are normally those who know nothing and don’t understand what is going on.
    The “Tin Kosong” syndrome has infected all those want to be smart. They had never try to think or know their facts.
    Rather only talking rubbish, wouldn’t it better to do somethig about it? I may not agree with Tun’s decisions all the time but time has proven again and again that your vision and decision on certain matters was correct and has benefitted the country.
    If I were you, I would not care or entertain those who’s arguement has no facts.

  418. Salam Tun,
    Sampah akan menjadi amat berguna jika kita dapat menjadikan sebagai bahan bakar untuk penghasilan tenaga. Perkara ini telah dipratikkan di Jerman, India dan juga beberapa negara di Eropah.
    Salah satu syarikat yang telah berjaya dalam teknologi ini ialah di India (http://www.selco.co.in/).
    Sudah tiba masanya untuk kerajaan atau pihak swasta melakukan sesuatu secara serius berkenaan dengannya. Disebalik bau sampah yang kurang menyenangkan itu, ada kebaikannya, jika kita betul-betul menafaatkanya dan boleh jadi satu sumber tenaga yang paling murah.
    Salah satu cadangan ialah supaya pihak kerajaan menggalakan pihak swasta bekerjasama dengan universiti tempatan untuk menceburi dalam penyilidikan dan pembangunan dalam teknologi ini.
    Sesuatu haruslah dilakukan dengan segera sebelum terlambat. Ianya amat penting untuk anak dan cucu kita.
    Sekian.

  419. RUBISH IS MONEY SOMETIME
    BURNING IS NOT THE ONLY WAY There are other alternatives as well
    Infact burning destroy bio mass that already created by nature
    I am an agriculturistscientist and know many things about organic waste that can be turn into fertilizer
    If we could only organize and classified rubish by allocating
    different bin different kind of rubish than recycling them into usefull peoducts is possible.
    In Korea they advoacate Natural Farming base on recycling kichen waste into organic fertilizer which can be use in ornamental plant Insdustry if we are scared to eat rubish!!!
    The Problem in Malaysia we do not listen to scientific Idea as most of our leader with exception of Tun are not scientist
    DSAI – Artist
    Pak Lah – Lawyer
    Some Economist.
    There is one student of mine Advocate of Organic and produces Hypo fertilizer in collaberation with MARDI.Once upon a time he own a factory ,I heard his factory is taken over by some bigger Tycoon ?
    Why not this company do something.

  420. “I am disappointed that those who made critical comments never argued their cases against me. All they could say is that I was worse when I was Prime Minister or that all the problems began during my time. No supporting evidence at all. And obviously not even true.”
    Maybe the worshipping of your bootlickers have gone to your head, Mahathir. Ada bahayanya kalau hanya mendengar kata-kata manis para pengampu hari selang hari. You decry money politics in UMNO, yet you seem to believe that it has sprung up only under the Abdullah administration instead of flourishing for 22 years under yours. You seem to have forgot that Barisan Nasional won with a thumping majority in 2004 PRECISELY because Abdullah promised to reform the legacy of corruption, nepotism, and racism you left for him to shoulder.
    You condemn the lack of media freedom, the lack of the ability of the media to report your dissenting views, but you have forgotten that it was you who revoked the permits of newspapers yourself when the media carried negative reports about yourself. You vociferously attack the decision to pension sacked judges simply because you refuse to accept the fact that you have wrongfully sacked them. You complain and complain and complain – you sit comfortably behind the scenes and take potshots – yet you cry foul whenever anyone so much as dares to point out the very obvious fact that you’re nothing more than a hypocrite who’s now trying to take the moral high ground by pretending his own misdeeds never happened, or that he wasn’t the cause for these problems in the first place.

  421. salam tun,
    Di Malaysia ni banyak idea yang bagus, tapi sebab dilaksanakan secara korup sehingga menjejaskan rakyat walaupun menguntungkan kontraktor, jadi la dia tak bagus atau kelihatan tak bagus.
    Banyak la benda macam ni kat Malaysia ni, buka mata dan[pandang keliling.
    Saya menyokong idea yang bagus dan dilaksanakan dengan penuh bertanggungjawab dan mempunyai akauntabiliti yang tinggi. Bukan kalau projek rosak, Kerajaan saja yang kena, sedangkan kontraktor lepas begitu sahaja.

  422. Yeah!! Tun, you’re right. UMNO is a corrupted organization. If we do not get rid off UMNO, this corruption culture will seed through the young generation mind and pollute them. We are a great nation that produces many rubbish politicians. To have a clean and modern incinerator likes Japan; we need to rid off these UMNO

  423. Salam Tun,
    BBC-Sudah perkara biasa orang putih tak suka tengok bangsa kita senang. Depa kalau boleh hantam depa hantam kita teruk2. Tapi dgn Tun depa ada respect sikit!
    Rubbish – Singapore punya landfill letaknya di pulau jauh dari kediaman orang. Kalau kena racun pun mungkin cacing2 dan ikan2 di laut?
    New Water katanya bebas kuman dan supply kerumah2 buat air minum juga. So far tak ada orang sakit kerana minum air NewWater. Herannya Malaysia banyak gunung banyak air tapi orang2 Batu Pahat, Mersing dll kadang kadang tak ada air.
    Malaysia sama Indonesia sama aja, nama saja majoriti Islam tapi pengotor,toilet kotor sampah sarap merata2,politik uang,korupsi. Singapore negara bukan Islam tapi amalkan kebersihan cara Islam, negeri bersih, toilet bersih, korupsi tak nampak. Cuma sayang politik orang Cina yang control.
    Tun boleh komen tentang Razak Baginda? Kasihanlah dengan 2 orang polis itu, mereka tak kenal pun dengan Altantuya tapi buat apa mereka terlibat? Atas arahan siapa tu? Yang kenal rapat secara peribadi dgn perempuan Mongolia itu lepas bebas. Undang undang apa ini? Mungkin Najib ada jawapannya. This will be the downfall of Najib!
    Wassallam

  424. Hi Tun,
    Semoga Tun sekeluargs di kurniakan kesihatan sentiasa.
    INTERVIEW
    Biasa lah Tun, saperti pepatah melayu ” LEMBU PUNYA SUSU SAPI PUNYA NAMA ”
    COMMENT
    No worries Tun. You are still the best leader.
    The best there is, the best there was and the best ever.
    RUBBISH
    Yes Tun, both verbal and solid rubbish is a big problem.
    Something need to be done fast.
    The Zul

  425. Yeah!! Tun, you’re right. UMNO is a corrupted organization. If we do not get rid off UMNO, this corruption culture will seed through the young generation mind and pollute them. We are a great nation that produces many rubbish politicians. To have a clean and modern incinerator likes Japan; we need to rid off these UMNO

  426. Dear Tun and Bloggers,
    I agree with Tun (of course) that those comments against him in this blog are usually lame and without any support. Mind you, my own comments so far have been crap also and contain no real value other than to puji Tun. But I believe Tun very much deserves these puji-pujian.
    Therefore, I feel the urge to comment on the solid waste and environmental issues which Tun brought up here.
    I was told of a particular case, where a chemical store was burnt down. As usually, much about it was being hushed up quickly so as not to stir up public anxiety. This is Malaysia… semua boleh. We usually hide things under the carpet. Until one day these become too much and uncontrollable. I refrain from exposing any real information here since I do not want anyone to get into trouble. The event itself took place quite sometime ago. The “chemical waste” from the fire was disposed safely and carefully in a chemical graveyard. We do not have a proper incernerator. I have nothing to do with this, but knowing this makes me feel very guilty. And I carry this guilt with me.
    While the action may be “ethical” to a certain extent (to curb public panic, due to ignorance), but exposing such issue (through this blog) would, I hope, increase more public awareness and sense of responsibility. The aim here is not to blame anyone or punish anyone. But that, we all become more responsible of our present and especially our future. The chemical graveyard may be safe now or some hundred years from now, but what about beyond that? These are really toxic chemicals. May be, we do not care what happend thousand years from now. But this is the fate of our earth and our future generation.
    Therefore, I agree whole-heartedly when Tun called for the development of a safe incernarator to be build.
    Wassalam…..

  427. Asalamuaikum.
    My Dearest Tun,
    Seperti biasa sebenarnya rakyat dan orang awam tidak mendapat informasi yang betul, tepat dan menyeluruh. Rakyat perlu diberi pemahaman tentang sesuatu isu baru la mereka boleh respon dengan betul. contohnya kini penurunan harga minyak, rakyat menyoal kenapa turun sedikit sedikit sedangkan naik hari tu seperti roket. Ini tak pernah berlaku di zaman Tun, dan apabila dah naik harga barang terlalu tinggi bukanla mudah nak turun kembali !! So Tun yang dikasihi bukan rakyat menentang program kerajaan tetapi kita takut ini juga akan jadi flip flop, kejap nak beli helikopter kejap tak jadi, kejap nak buat keretapi letrik kejap batal kemudian nak buat balik, nanti tengah-tengah buat incenarator cancel pulak takut dituduh membazir oleh anwar atau lim kit siang flip flop. misi dan visi yang jelas perlu sebelum sesuatu projek itu akan dilaksanakan.
    Semoga Allah la yang membalas jasa-jasa Tun. Tq for just being you…

  428. Assalammualaikum YBhg Tun Dr. Mahathir,
    Interview
    Basically, the interviewer couldn’t differentiate between facts and fictions. What make it worse is that the interview was conducted by BBC.
    As one of the millions who suffered during the IMF like policy instituted by Anwar, I can categorically say that Anwar was not the one who introduced pegging in 1998. In fact he was the major contributor of rakyats suffering from increasing mortgage payment due to a high interest rates policy. Anwar strategy was to reduce the economy to dust so that it would be easy for him to takeover as PM. Well we all know what happened then and now the west is emulating what Malaysia during your PMship have done to bail out the economies.
    One major dfferent is that Tun’s policy was to safeguard the country; industries, financials, workers, and consumers, whilst the west policy is to bail out big businesses, not their citizens.
    Rubbish
    As usual, Tun always thoroughly study any new technology before Tun decided to implement it. One case in point is the internet and the whole MSC initiatives.
    With regards to the smokeless incinerator technology from Japan, it was kid of sad that the government of the day find it fitting to cancel the project just because some rakyats with the help of opposition protested took the case to court. Basically, such decision created a precedent that if we protest enough, we can get what we want.
    Since then, we have been informed by a number of leaches that have flown into river and rendered the river water to be polluted.
    Bacically, this is a selfish act on behalf of the rakyat. Although we can blame them for being selfish, the government who is taking care of 27 rakyats couldn’t find it in them to do a proper cost benefit analysis and proceed with the incinerator project.
    Unlike you, the government of the day is trying very hard to be accommodating to a handful of the rakyats whilst leaving millions to suffer from a “clean” environment.
    Regards and Wassalam
    LoyalCitizen
    SHAH ALAM

  429. Tun Mahathir has successfully built a system in the government such that everybody is so scared to be sacked or downgraded (because they will lose all kind of interrelated benefits if that happens) whereby they would help each other to cover their shits or wrongdoings and do not dare to voice out eventhough they know something is wrong. Only Lim Kit Siang is questioning all these shits in the parliament and he has been fighting alone for so many years………..We need to remove this evil system and unhealthy culture.

  430. salam kepada tun,
    hmm saya berterimakasih sebab dgn adanya blog/penulisan tun nih saya bertambah dekat dgan tun..dr segi pembelajaran kepimpinan malaysia, pentadbiran malaysia dan kepimpinan MEMIMPIN.. actly semua segi la saya observe n learn..
    ..tun bess dan terhebat sangat2 dan kpd mereka org2 yg komen merapu dan sibuk carik pasal ngan tun sila2lah kita kaji dulu yerr, takde yg maksum kat dunia nih.. =] MARILAH KITA SEMUA BACA N BELAJAR N UBAH YG KAT KERAJAAN UTK YG TERBAIK UTK SEMUA YERR..ape2la janji utk yg terbaikk
    dan ingatlah sejarah telah membuktikan – ingatlah yg kalau takde kepimpinan, ketegasan, KESUKAHATIAN tun 😉 dan pencapaian tun nih selama 22 tahun, maka malaysia sebenarnya mundur la beb ;p wek
    salute n respect kat tun, terusskan apa2 jer tun..Allah jer yg tahu =] 😀
    …yg pasal rubbish tuh, hehe MEREKA ADA KEPENTINGAN la tun..kalau tak, mestilah ikut teknologi logik bersains teknologi jepun tuh =] ..kadang2 pening gak, dahlah kite belajar jauh2 sampai barat n jepun serta china, tapi takbelajar dari semua sudut baik dan buruk negara majuu..kite belajar nak duit lebih jer;p
    rgrds/
    adib
    p/s: semua blog tun saya ikuti n halusi ..cuma kadang2 asyik bz ngan kerja harian jerr.. walauapepun, tun tetap dihati!

  431. Assalammualaikum Yg Bhg Tun Dr Mahathir,
    1. Anwar as usual will con in every aspect to get the credit. He should be shame of himself after what he did in 1997. I told my 12 years old son that you are the one that lead to save Malaysia from the financial turmoil and even give my son a few books about you for him to read. I want him to know the real hero of Malaysia.
    2. Those who talked bad behind you are merely coward since they don’t have the guts to write to you. I wonder where all this bastard came from and what are their motive. Judge Ian Chin who talk lies has got his lesson.
    3. It is high time to talk about rubbish waste. Malaysian dont have the dicipline to dispose rubbish. We need a better system. I propose in every district we should have the system.

  432. Ayahanda…
    Kita suka tiru banyak benda dari negara maju macam cara berpakaian…muzik…wayang…cara hidup..ade yang baik ade yang memang tak baik langsung…tapi benda yang kita memang kena ikut mesti orang kat malaysia ni tak nak ikut…macam incinerators ni… Dah sampai tahap kritikal untuk kita ikut..tapi perkara ni bila nak di bangunkan mesti org bantah..!!! mungkin kita ni membantah tanpa berfikir untuk anak cucu kita. akan hilanglah kehijauan bukit bukau dan diganti dgn kecoklatan bukit bukit sampah!! Yang bau nya tak kurang ‘nyaman’…
    Kita mesti berani merubah mentaliti ini!!!

  433. may be when you drive your helicopter higher, you can see a better view. Some people ask, why didn’t you make the changes nor cultivate the people during your tenure? Maybe many “langau” sticked to the helicopter and made it unable to fly higher.

  434. Salam TUN,
    ini yang cek bangga dengan tun, tun boleh meneliti suatu hal waima sampah sekalipun….
    teruskan komentar2 bernas tun untuk menjadikan negara malaysia lebih sejahtera

  435. Tun,
    I believe as a blogger we must take all pro and con comments whether it is desirable or not. This is because in cyber space, everyone is free to voice their opinion.
    Perhaps one opinion is not in agreement with the other. But then you have to accept the fact that at least it is still true to himself or herself.
    One good thing for sure for being a normal citizen, now you should realize that every action of the leader is not necessarily can be fully accepted by all.

  436. Assalamualiakum wbt,
    Dear Tun,
    I am happy for you to highlight about the rubbish. Yes there are rubbish everywhere in the country so do the new development, such as Putrajaya, Nusajaya, KLCC, Airports, and Corridoors everywhere. Well as Malaysian I am proud of these developments but what really upset me is the maintenance part of it. I know we can built the best incenerator like Japan but what happen few years down the road can the government or whoever responsible of these developments guaranty they will be forever good…I doubt.
    We need strong leader to realy look into every aspect of maintenance. This is what is lacking in this country even during your time. I knew you had tried your best to adopt maintenance mentallity to your team but your team adopt it as “hangat-hangat tahi ayam”. Once you turned your back everything stopped !
    I belived to do this we need team that works not team for political suvivor whom will end with the YES men mentallity.

  437. What amazed me the most is that we are about to purchase helicopters in the mids of country’s economic meltdown. We are no more in the mode of alert but to spend like nothing is happening.
    Rubbish? Who cares? We are thought to throw rubbish anywhere and such environmental project is unnecessary because it will not benefit anyone.

  438. dear sir
    we are led by rubbish
    we are fed by make believe rubbish
    we are surrounded by rubbish
    and i’m asking
    what are you waiting for?

  439. Yes agree with you Tun.
    Infact I was just talking about this to my dad the other day.
    In Canada too, they have three seperate bins to segregate rubbish.
    Organic, Plastic & Paper, Tins & Glass
    And thus the segregation is done by each one at home itself.
    When someone mixes up – he/she responsible for it and a fine levied on him/her.
    My Dad is in Plastic recycling,
    and I am only amazed at the amount of plastic that is recycled in tons, back in to resin pellets which is sold again for reuse, back into Plastic paraphernalia.
    I only hope, Malaysia can come one with this implementation.
    atleast in the urban areas of KL, PJ, SJ, Shah Alam.

  440. Hidup DR M Hidup DR M Hidup DR M.
    Masih teringat lagi daku apabila our PM Dr M dulu bagitu cite pasal sampah ini. masa tu aku baru umur 15 tahun tapi satu malaysia kecoh bila Dr M komen bandar KL byk sampah. MALU orang luar duta 2 dtg malaysia tgk jalan raya penuh sampah. ape la korang ni. makan minum air pastu lontar sembarangan.,…
    eh eh…. agaknya kalau kena tangkap wat keja amal mcm singapore lagi bagus… biar muka depa masuk paper lagi…
    lagi satu …. cerobong asap kat kilang di malaysia ni ada pasang meter atau analyser tak…. biar sambung terus ke jabatan alam sekitar untuk pemerhatian…. jangan ada rasuah da….
    wokey aku nak layan cite norman hakim ,,,ni apsal la dier ni yer…

  441. Dear Dr
    1. The ‘burning plant’ is a good idea.
    2. The rubbish truck I think is the problem, if it is always leaking. Nobody wants the roads around the plant to be turn into a stinking stream with thousand of leaking truck travelling every day.
    3. If the plant is built with no additional, mark-up hidden cost that will have to be bourned by the next few generations. (a little is OK).
    4. If the plant is built with proper and professional planning with no ill intention, proven technology, practical, efficient, not necessary grand as small can be beautiful.
    Thk & rgds

  442. Salam Tun & all,
    Always be with U,
    Yup, the last Financial Turmoil, DSAI was a disgrace!
    I still remember, since at the time I was taking my SPM exam (I like my School simple life)
    He’s a manace!! I DUN LIKE U DSAI!! DSAI have a bad aura!
    Tun, Keep on writing yeah…TERIMA KASIH!

  443. tun..i very appreciate all your comment..u really have brialliant brain..thanks ur can spend your time during a talk at ukm 2 week ago..=)

  444. Salam Tun dan Selamat Pagi,
    Tiada apa-apa untuk rakyat mempertikaikan nasihat, pandangan, kritikan serta cadangan Tun terhadap kerajaan yang ada pada hari ini. Kami memandang ianya sebagai sesuatu yang membina ke arah memperbetulkan segala kesilapan dan kelemahan di samping memajukan urustadbir negara yang tercinta ini ke tahap yang lebih baik. Namun begitu ianya menjadi adat bagi sesetengah pihak yang sukar mahu menerima teguran dan pandangan meskipun pada hakikatnya mereka sedar akan kebaikannya. Egoistik dalam sifat manusia kadangkala amat sukar untuk dihapuskan.
    Akhir-akhir ini ada beberapa tetamu blog saya mempertikaikan akan jasa dan kebaikan Tun khususnya pada topik perbandingan yang saya muatkan sebelum ini iaitu PAK LAH -VS- DR MAHATHIR: DARI SUDUT PUNCA DAN FAKTA dan juga topik-topik terbaru yang lain. Mereka mungkin tidak memahami erti dan hakikat sebuah perjuangan yang cuba hendak saya sampaikan. Kita sedar manusia tidak sempurna tetapi tidak boleh menafikan manusia adalah sebaik-baik kejadian ciptaan Ilahi. Sungguh pun tidak sempurna (perfect) tetapi peratusan kebaikan haruslah melebihi peratusan keburukan atau kelemahan bagi seeseorang yang bergelar pemimpin nombor satu negara (Perdana Menteri).
    Walaupun suara saya amatlah kecil sekali jika mahu dinilai namun perjuangan menegakkan HAK dan KEBENARAN itu menjadi keutamaan di dalam membela nasib agama, bangsa dan negara. Gendang kesedaran akan terus saya palu selagi jasad dikandung badan. Semoga ketabahan dan kewibawaan perjuangan Tun akan terus mampu diterap serta diteladani oleh seluruh generasi muda.
    Syabas! Teruskan penulisan Tun yang penuh bernilai.
    PEMUDA PELAPIS

  445. Assalamualaikum Tun
    Untuk pengetahuan Tun, sebenarnya ramai yang sudah faham dan ramai yang memberi sokongan pada Tun, Tun telah buktikan banyak perkara yang membawa kebaikan. Saya kagum dengan pemikiran Tun, saya mula nampak juga anak2 muda sudah mula membaca tulisan Tun. Saya memang mengkagumi Tun, kebanyakkan orang yang baca tulisan Tun jarang memberikan komen disebabkan oleh telah memberi sokongan pada Tun, kita bukan macam orang Pak Lah, sikit2 “saya sokong” tapi kerja tak jalan.. Pak Lah dan anwar saya dengar2 adalah ibu sesusuan.. Allah sahaja yang mengetahui?.. teruskan menulis Tun dan berikan penerangan pada kami untuk dijadikan rujukan, saya dapati sejak Tun menulis dalam Blog ini orang sudah mula tidak membuat cerita ramalan atau tidak benar pada Tun..
    Saya ada satu pendapat, sekiranya Tun dapat mebina satu lagi Blog yang lebih kepada Pembangunan Minda, saya rasa ramai akan tertarik kerana kalau kita lihat saintis dulu kala banyak meninggalkan falsafah dan konsep sains, saya ambil contoh falsafah yang Tun pernah bawa ” Melayu Mudah Lupa”, bagi saya terlalu banyak kebenaran dan maksud disebaliknya..
    Baiklah Tun saya akan hantar lagi pendapat (tapi bukan komen), kerana sebagai seorang saintis saya berasa sangat bertanggungan kepada negara. Baru2 ni saya menghadiri forum Tun di UKM, tapi tidak dapat mendekati Tun kerana dilarang oleh Pegawai Keselamatan, saya sangat berharap satu hari nanti saya dapat berjumpa Tun, bukan cerita politik tapi tentang pemikiran Tun yang sangat saya kagumi selama ini..
    jaga diri baik2 Tun
    salam sayang saya buat Ayahda Tun

  446. Sir,
    Western reporters, and for that matter, politicians do not think highly of you because of your anti western stand during your time as PM. We, of course, loved every bit of it. So, you can’t expect them to praise you for any good thing you did. They rather conveniently ignore the facts. This is their God given right of way of doing things. The truth will be known to anyone who diligently search for it.
    Those who condemn you for your criticisms of the present government but do not provide evidence of your wrong doings are fools who do not know any better. You know they are the ones who love to interfere in any discussions but without any substance to their mumblings. It is their perception. So be it.
    As for garbage, it is another ugly Malaysian trend that must be changed quickly before it causes more damage to the environment. Garbage collection, although repugnant, is a lucrative business. I believe there are people who wants the situation to remain as it is for financial gains. They have it easy because Malaysians, in general, do not care what happens to their rubbish after they have dumped it into their trash cans or by the roadside or out of their car windows or anywhere they deem fit. So, it will be a very difficult task to fix things like Britain or Japan or Singapore.

  447. guess that you will never remember or know me but when i was the guy that used to fly you around in the RMAF helicopter many many years ago, i could see through your eyes looking towards the future of the country.
    many of the major projects, twin towers, putra jaya etc were not yet been built then but you took the time to survey all over the areas,,,,you had vision and now they are all in place.
    guess again, nowadays those whom never took the trouble to plan are now running the country without caring for what you did for our country.
    I don’t see any of them flying around the country to survey and plan like you once did. Most of them are just thinking about their own future rather than for the rakyat and negara tersayang.
    guess we shall miss the good old days.
    KapasPirateKing

  448. salam Tun,
    on reporters and interviews – Tun should have ‘screwed’ ’em back by insisting for their explanations on how they derived to their facts and so on.. but of cos.. it’ll get edited and censored.. right?
    on rubbish – clearly its the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) attitude of our people and the local councils… the perancang bandars would rancang everything but of course only geared to commercials and housing development (this is just my plain view with no facts backing :)).. but nothing was rancang for landfills (if theres no other options for disposal…. I wonder whether there are really perancangan for the various corridors that we are looking forward to… I wonder where will the massive solid waste generations from these corridors be dumped?? Unless the people can really make up something like a ‘90%’ recycling from the household waste or industrial.. then it shouldnt be a problem.
    cheers Tun.

  449. Tun dan bonda yang disayangi.
    biasalah tun, anwar ketika dalam kerajaan apa yang dia buat..hampas..sekarang sebagai ketua pembangkang dia canang dia buat itu dan ini..hampas kelapa lagi berharga.
    tentang incinerator tu..pembangkang yang manghasut penduduk di broga supaya bangun menentang..kerana apa saja yang baik dilakukan kerajaan semuanya tidak baik bangkang for sake of membangkang.
    malaysia sampai bila pun tidak boleh bagus kerana keadaan pembangkang yang begitu rupa..malang nasib sebahagian rakyat malaysia .
    kadang-kadang kita fikirkan apa yang lee kuan yew lakukan di singapura elok juga jika kita emulate..kerana kelompok perosak jika tidak tidak diambil tindakan tegas akan rosak negara.
    saya berpendapat complete freedom yang cuba diberikan kerajaan sekarang baik..tetapi ia telah disalahguna oleh pembangkang..apa tidaknya..demonstrasi jalanan..persoal hak-hak yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan negara..memperlekehkan melayu dan islam..cuba menidakkan melayu sebagai peribumi.
    pendapat diatas berlandaskan ketika tun meneraju negara selama 22 tahun kita pernah mendengar rungutan secara ringan dan kemudian dilupakan, rakyat menjalankan kehidupan dalam keadaan makmur, selamat,aman damai. apabila dibuka kepada kebebasan total pembangkang dan ngo berhaluan kiri mengeksploitasikan situasi.
    konklusifnya lebih elok kebebasan dan keterbukaan ditarik balik kerana pembangkang negara ini akan membawa rebah.

  450. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Ape khabar? saya mendoakan agar kesejahteraan Tun dan keluaga akan sentiasa baik.
    Saya amat tertarik dengan penulisan Tun, dan idea2 yg diutarakan Tun bernas awlupun pada ketika itu idea tersebut mungkin dikecam dan dicemuh tetapi itulah intipati kejayaan pada masa akan datang bagi sesuatu pemasalahan…cth krisis mata wang 97-98.
    Berkenaan insenator, saya juga kurang pasti kenapa pada ketika itu rakyat …….. bermati-matian menolak cadangan pembinaan tersebut, mungkin juga mereka kurang yakin dengan kontraktor yang di lantik untuk melaksanakan projek tersebut dan bukanya kurang yakin dengan projek tersebut…
    Sama seperti bill DNA yang dibentangkan di parlimen, pada pandangan saya, bar council dan pihak pembangkang menolak cadangan tersebut bukan kerana mereka tidak bersetuju dengan cadangan tersebut tetapi mereka kurang yakin dengan pelaksana bill DNA tersebut(PDRM)kerana takut ada pihak tertentu akan memanipulasikan badan uniform itu utk kepentingan mereka
    Tun saya ada satu persoalan sikiranya Tun berkesempatan, sudi la kiranya Tun dapat menjawab….
    Kita sebagai sebuah negara tidak adakah penganalisis ekonomi yang bekerja dengan kerajaan, kalau ada kenapa kerajaan mengambil keputusan terburu-buru pada bulan jun lalu untuk menaikkan harga minyak dengan kadar yang drastik, yang mengakibatkan harga barangan, tarif elektrik dll melonjak, then bila tren harga minyak mentah dunia menurun, kerajaan menurunkan harga minyak secara berperingkat kerana takut pengusaha minyak rugi, tetapi adakah harga baragan runcit turun…mungkin hypermarket turunkan harga, tetapi bagaimana dgn kedai makan, kedai runcit dll…harga yang dinaikkan tetap kekal.
    Pada hemat saya…sekiranya kerajaan bersabar dengan tidak mengambil keputusan dengan terburu-buru, saya rasa kerajaan dapat jimat lebih banyak kerana tidak perlu menberikan rebet kepada pemilik kenderaan serta cas kepada pos malaysia hasil komisyen wang pos, dan duit tersebut dapat disalurkan ke arah pembangunan projek rakyat.
    Tetapi langkah kerajaan tersebut bukanlah sesuatu yang menghairankan kerana, sudah ada banyak lagi keputusan2 kerajaan yang sebelum itu dan selepas itu flip-flop….kejap jadi, kejap tak jadi.
    Politik sekarang sudah hilang seri ketelusan…yang ketara adalah berapa banyak yang dapat mereka kumpul kekayaan, bukan berapa banyak yang dapat mereka tolong rakyat, baik pemerintah mahupun pembangkang.
    Semenjak PRU-12 tidak ada banyak kemajuan dalam pemerintahan Malaysia…yang ada hanyalah mainan politik semata-mata. Rakyat di dasar menderita tetapi pemimpin di atas bersuka-ria.
    Semenjak kenaikkan inflasi yang terjejas teruk adalah golongan miskin dan tidak lupa juga “midle class family”. Golongan pertengahan nie selalunya yg tersepit kat tgh2.
    Saya meminta agar Tun dapat teruskan penulisan tun di blog mahupun hasilkan sebuah buku lagi utk ditambah dalam koleksi penulisan
    TUN MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD(CHE DET)

  451. Dear Tun,
    Arguing your fault or wrong did does not help the country at this point of time. I would rather say one definite thing after Abdullah 2 tenure of premiership is that he learn nothing from you. He is labeled the worst (first) PM in the country if compared with the previous. I could say the downfall of the country started by his mishandled conduct, especially when he is not material of PM who lung the seat for so long.
    I do not demand abolish of bumiputra rights nor do I demand downfall of BN government, I just demand MPs in the government irregardless from ruling coalition or Oppositions to be a real politician than businessman in the Parliament. Things could be slightly better when whoever that success you would spend more time to learn from you before he become the next PM.
    Currently the entire country economy is in deep shit, despite what the current administration telling lies to the public, we yet to see the dawn of the next economy tsunami. The current tsunami is flopping from the West. The current government has no talent, plans nor expert to handle economy, they are like a bunch of clown given the signature in the administration office. As worst as Sarah Palin and McCain i see.
    I regretted I wasn’t born during your beginning term of premier and by the time I stepped into adulthood, I am not able to participate in the political area of how things are been planned in your premiership. If you were blessed by God almighty, could someone be as wisdom and as brilliant as you step forward and be the next PM to lead the country U-turn?

  452. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Just the right topic for housewives like myself. My neighborhood has become a rubbish dump. The invisible culprits simply dump their rubbish under the tree near my house. And the restaurant owner moved his big dustbin right in front of my house. You can imagine the loads of rubbish many people take the opportunity to dump theirs into. I want to clean the rubbish that the dogs and the cats scattered around my house but I can’t ‘cos the dogs make their toilet business everywhere. I like your idea Tun of the Japanese technology but you la Tun people demonstrate and demonstrate then they become the loser. Our government is just not strong enough. Always give way. What about those who want the incinerator. The never ask do they. So thanks for bringing up this topic Tun. You just read my mind.
    Take very care Tun and May Allah Look Upon You Always.

  453. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    You are always right,always my idol of good gorvernance…Why the gorverment during Pak Lah cannot do like like you do.
    About the iniceretor, the protest by the public may be they dont like it when the rubbish lorry with leaks leacheate,and smelly past their home..I soppose that had to be improve first.
    Thanks

  454. Salam Tun
    Seronok tengok muka Pah Lah dalam berita TV3 pagi tadi. Secara amnya PaK Lah bagi amaran kepada pemancing undi supaya tidak guna ‘cara kotor’. Amaran dia macam keras. sekurang2nya dia buat muka keras masa bagi amaran tu. Sampai bila kameraman focus kat Muhiyudin Yassin, nampak Muhiyudin Yassin tersenyum kambing. Mungkin fikiran MY sama dengan fikiran saya. Apalah sangat amaran Pak Lah ni. Siapa yang takut. Yang saya boleh foresee ialah orang lain tak boleh kampen dan lobi tapi kita tengok pulak menantu dia. KJ akan guna platform ni habis2 supaya Mac nanti menjanjikan sesuatu untuknya.
    Pasal cleanliness pulak, saya percaya kita perlu ubah mindset. Penat2 Tun develop Malaysia suatu ketika dulu tapi bab kebersihan ni saya nampak kita masih dalam 3rd class mentality berbanding dengan facilities yang 1st class.
    Tun n wife take care.

  455. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    One has only to read the article written by Mohd Nor Yakcob in 2003 regarding the FINANCIAL CRISIS OF 1997 – 1998 to know the truth.
    Kalau Tun yang tulis sendiri mungkin ada yang mempertikaikannya.
    The article appeared many times in your blog and I am positively sure that many have read it.
    Anwar as usual will claim anything that is to his advantage when he is outside Malaysia.
    Tun, Malaysia will not be as what it is today if not you as the leader Insya allah.
    May Allah bless you Tun. AMIN!

  456. It is not the people does not like to have the incinerator to be built near their residence. Honestly, do you think Malaysia has the capability to maintain such a high tech incinerator? How many billions are we expecting to dumb into building and maintaining such an incinerator? and when it has problems, how many billions again needed to poured into fixing it? Can we make sure that it work without constant breakdown? After 51 years of independence, we can’t even make sure that people from all areas in Malaysia are enjoying undisrupted use of water and electricity and good infrastruture. The roads are full of pot holes, the bridges are lack of maintenance, the traffic lights broke down every other day and the lamp poles of many roads are tilting to one side (although it is fortunate if there is a lamp pole). Come on Tun, you have been living so near to Singapore didn’t you ever compare Malaysia and Singapore and see what is the difference? Just look at the civil service and you can see immediate difference. One is super effective while the other one is super slow. My friend was robbed twice when he travelled in Malaysia and he sworn to God that he would not be back to this country again. What kind of system have you instilled into this country when you were in charge?
    Just answer me one question: With all the natural resources that Malaysia has and Singapore does not, why Malaysia has not been capable of catching up with this close neighbour in many areas such as the average income of the people, inflation, education level, public infrastructure, housing and it’s global financial status.

  457. Tun,
    saya amat amat bersetuju dengan Tun, harap Tun akan terus sihat untuk memberikan nasihat nasihat yang berguna untuk negara kita. Saya, suami serta anak akan terus menyokong Tun. Negara kita memang dah teruk sangat di bawah kepimpinan Pak Lah anak beranak. lagi lama dia dok akan atas tu, lagi lama kita susah kat bawah ni.

  458. Dear Tun
    BBC Interview:
    DSAI-Lembu punya susu, sapi dapat nama.
    Rubbish:
    DSAI-always like to talk rubbish
    Regards.

  459. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    Ini pertama kali saya comment stelah sekian lama berhajat memberikan komen.
    Saya setuju dengan apa yang Tun katakan bahawa tidak ada seorang pun yang ‘argue’ apabila Tun mengkritik. Tidak ada seorang pun yang cuba menjawab kembali apa yang Tun kritik di dalam blog. Kalau adapun, jawapan yang diberikan tidak ada kena mengena dengan apa yang Tun soalkan. Disinilah letaknya kelemahan- kelemahan yang dilihat oleh rakyat seperti saya.
    apa saja perkara yang berlaku sebelum pilihanraya lepas, dijawab dengan jawapan yang sangat umum dan general. tidak ada fakta atau nilai yang boleh diterima. baik dari no. 1 hingga no. last. saya percaya, the government should be answerable to all question raise by the public. tidak boleh dibiarkan atau dijawab dengan jawapan yang boleh diargue oleh orang lain.
    saya harap selepas ini, mereka semua akan sedar. berada di dalam sana memerlukan kredebiliti yang tinggi supaya tidak dipandang rendah oleh rakyat. apabila kredibiliti tidak ada, maka rakyat mula sangsi dengan kemampuan menerajui. semua persoalan yang dibangkitkan oleh rakyat (Tun juga adalah rakyat. dan seharusnya mendapat keutamaan kerana pernah berada di dalam sana) harus dijawab dengan fakta2 dan hujah2 yang berkreddibiliti. jgnlah menjadikan ‘rakyat yang tidak mahu’ sebagai alasan memberhentikan projek jambatan bengkok. kalau tidak mahu buat pun, kena la bagi jawapan yang kuat disokong fakta- fakta yang betul.
    rakyat kini bukan rakyat dulu lagi. tapi saya masih sayangkan umno. maaf Tun kerana tidak mengikut Tun keluar Umno dulu. Tapi Tun masih tetap dihati.

  460. Dear Tun,
    Keep exposing. We need to know the truth about these people. They are afraid you will expose their wrongdoings. Some will jump to make name for themselves. The new generation are making up stories that fit to their liking. As for rubbish, sigh….WELCOME TO MALAYSIA!!!

  461. Dear Tun, this is my first comment in your blog after following your blog for sometimes. Our nation desperately need your inputs. keep them coming.We are with your and we strongly believe that your are representing the view the majority. http://test.chedet.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?__mode=do_register&email=zubetos%40yahoo.com&static=1&blog_id=1&token=k0EsAxdMx1sbfo3rRsR3ZKtMYsXRCWGk9bivcSM9&entry_id=134

  463. yeah, i remember that anuar is the one who is promoting the imf strategy and not happy when you implemented to defend the country from bankruptcy, now he is claiming the CLOB, such a bastard kind of a person anwar is.and his supporters too are bastards when know anuar is wrong and still supporting him.these are the real jewish in the country. imaging thier boss are wrong but still suport, if they have the country then ….perhaps our future had been sold by these anuarism bastard

  464. Tun,
    Setuju dengan pendapat Tun. Saya cuma ingin menyentuh tentang ‘basic hygiene’ iaitu tahap kebersihan rakyat Malaysia masih lagi jauh terutama sekali penggunaan “tandas awam”. Negara seperti Thailand & Indonesia jauh lebih baik tahap kebersihannya daripada kita. Sungguh memalukan!
    Salam,

  465. Dearest Dr M
    They just love to demand their “rights” as citizens just because they pay taxes.
    That has become the trendy battle cry.
    Money is the only denominator that they understand.
    It is OK to abuse foreign worhers because “we are giving them the opportunity to earn money, otherwise they will remain poor in their home countries”.
    We strongly “object to have their quarters in our residential vicinity as security and land value will diminish”. Again money.
    If you publish “lies” about me, I will sue you for RM tens of thousands.
    Hop party – pay money. Want votes – pay money.
    As for some of the western media, they are first class spin doctors. Money has the power to turn facts into “flawed views” and lies into “absolute truths”.
    Some in Malaysia, even employed poll/survey results as “supporting evidence” that such and such an opinion is prevalent and widespread. There is one survey result that favours Anwar as the “better PM material” than Najib.
    Of course those comments not supportive of their political stance will be rated -17 etc and those that “swears” the truth of their postings will be rated +35.
    Half the time, it is full of name calling and unsubstantiated criticism. They also resort to character assasination.
    They devalue their own credibility and I have stopped visiting such “depressing” and “intellectually demeaning” sites.

  466. Good Morning Tun,
    Hope you are doing fine with your family.I would to agree with you on this matter that you just posted.It seems sometimes this foreign
    news broadcaster are political motivated by somebody that is eager to know the bad side of the country and not the good things that the
    country have done in the past years.I hope that DSAI(Anwar) would never become a Prime Minister,because he is a menace to society and to the country.If we’d have follow his advise on taking the IMF package in 1998 to help our financial crisis,than by all means we have been in turmoil by now.What a useless traitor he is.
    Please keep on posting your comment Tun and may god bless you.

  467. Salam Tun,
    Pagi-pagi dah bising pasal sampah Tun….
    Tun memang best. Macam bapak-bapak.
    Terima kasih dengan nasihat Tun.
    Tapi di kawasan rumah saya ni, walaupun saya mengasingkan sampah organik dan tak organik di dalam plastik berasingan tapi tetap juga dimasukkan ke dalam bakul sampah yang sama disediakan oleh management.

  468. Salam.. Tun.. I hope the west can learn from Malaysia in managing financial turmoils. They are merely jealous!!!! But I am surprised how Anwar Ibrahim got the credit. He is a favourite overseas. The West is famous in strategising political moneovre to conquer us economically and politically. But i thank God that we have excellent intelligence. dont worry, I pray for your health and your enemies will die oneday. God is Great!! allahuakbar!.

  469. Dear Tun,
    I have seen you many times in such interviews. You are the best. To compare with DSAI and DSAAB, both this guys normally talk rubbish.
    JL

  470. Beberapa tahun dulu ada saya cuba ketengahkan kepada rakan saya pengusaha dalam pembenaan rumah/condo/rumah pangsa besar-besaran untuk menggunakan mesin pengisar sampah yang diletakkan di bawah sinki yang boleh melumatkan kesemua bahan buangan, kecuali tulang lembu yang mungkin akan menumpulkan mesin tersebut. Harganya dibawah RM800, yang saya kira dapat diserapkan kedalam harga unit jualan. Tapi malangnya, ide tersebut tak diterimanya. Saya juga telah ketengahkan ke Majlis Tempatan supaya untuk mensyaratkan semua pemaju menggunakan kaedah tersebut. Malangnya senyap sepi. Agaknya kerana saya sepi dengan ‘insentifnya’. Bayangkan kalau disemua kediaman, terutama di rumah pangsa, mengguna kaedah ini, tidak ada lagi sampah yang akan bertaburan.

  471. Salam Tun,
    Bole Tun beri coretan/nasihat kepada pemuda-pemudi Melayu, yang pada pandangan umum, bila belajar, mereka main-main, bila berkerja, mereka tidak mahu bersungguh2.
    Nasri

  472. Salam Tun,
    I am not gonna argue with you. It will be like arguing with my grandfather. I will read your article as long as there is to read, but if I disagree, I will keep it to myself. Moreover, what is the point of winning the arguement when the present government do not care what being discussed here, and if they do, are they going to implement our suggestions, I think not.
    Note – still have not the time to read your book…wish i got more time for everything I like to do.

  473. Salam Ayahanda Tun. We need to tackle these rubbish problems with modern incinerators like the ones in Japan. State of the art and even their nuclear reactors have been undergoing extensive test to use sea water as cooling elements. Many things we must look and learn and emulate from the Japanese. Right from how they walk, talk and give proper respect to everyone around them. Rubbish is big issue nowadays Tun, all these incinerators are micro solutions if compared to the 5th Prime Minister and his total rubbish Administration, incinerate them and their cronies fast and we can see smaller rubbish dissipates themselves quietly.
    P.s: Tun, is it the norm in Malaysia nowadays to submit in post dated resignation notice? I can see this new thingy picking up right from PM post to news paper editors. All of them are self composing rubbish that cannot be recycled anymore. Bio-hazards, toxic waste – may explode un-provoked.
