Snippets

PUTRAJAYA

1. Putrajaya, dedicated to Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra is a city built on a greenfield site.

2. It has attracted a lot of visitors, both local and foreign. Many countries have studied the development of Putrajaya when they are planning their new administrative capital.

3. Malaysians are divided in their opinions of this artificially developed city. Some think it is a mega project which costs too much. Some seem to like it.

4. I was still Prime Minister when work on Putrajaya began. I saw the completion of the Prime Minister’s complex, the mosque and a part of the buildings lining the boulevard (not to be called boulevard now).

5. I had noticed that the impressive boulevard was to be lined with Government buildings. I had spoken to (the late) Tan Sri Azizan Zainal Abidin, then Chairman of Petronas, the agency chosen to build Putrajaya, remarking the boulevard has only imposing Government Ministries lining it.

6. In America the cities all have central business districts where all the major corporations have their impressive office buildings. In the daytime the area is crowded with business people, office workers etc. Big American cars dropped and picked up the Executives along the main street.

7. The area is usually beautifully landscaped with fountains and monuments dotting the area.

8. However at night the place becomes deserted as all the office workers and businessmen go home. Quietness descends on the area with only an occasional taxi driving through. The fast food restaurants are shut.

9. It is dangerous to venture into the area at night as you may be coshed and robbed.

10. Remembering this I wanted to have the Putrajaya boulevard full of people at night. If you have only Government Offices and Ministries, the place would be deserted at night.

11. Unfortunately the planners want the place to have imposing Government buildings. The businesses should be tucked away somewhere.

12. As I drive through the boulevard at night I am enchanted with the number of lights lining it and the side roads. But there is no life as all the great Ministries are shut up tight, although they are beautifully floodlighted.

13. There are no shops at all, not even a coffee house. Those who have visited gay Paris will remember the brightness and the throngs of people strolling along or sipping drinks at roadside tables in front of brightly lit restaurants. The famous Lido would be crowded with people going to see the shows. Busloads of tourists would throng the bright side streets or sit at café tables watching people going by. The scene is very animated.

14. Famous restaurants and some fast food outlets as well as other shops lined the side roads parallel to the boulevard. Traffic flowed to and fro, unimpeded along the tree lined central boulevard.

15. I can understand why Paris is called the City of Light.

16. Putrajaya has lights almost as bright as those in Paris. But there are almost nobody strolling along the boulevard. It reminds me of the business districts in American cities.

17. I have talked to several people about the importance of having shops and theatres along the boulevard to give life to this beautiful city. But nothing has happened. I believe a big glass-fronted building has been built to house business corporations. It too would be closed at night.

18. More offices are being built but no shops, no restaurants or coffee houses and certainly no places of entertainment of any kind.

19. One of the effects of this rigid confinement to Government buildings on the boulevard is to make Putrajaya a Malay city. Ninety five percent of the people living in Government built flats are Malay Government workers. Although the Government built flats are available to non-Government servants, there are hardly any buyers for them. Certainly there are no Chinese or Indian.

20. I admit being guilty of setting up Putrajaya as the administrative capital. It is very well planned. But it is dull.

21. Not being in the Government, I cannot influence anything anymore. But I hope the powers that be will read this snippet on Putrajaya.

  1. Dear Tun,
    While the big hotels are well organized to attract those with big budgets(to attend conferences, meetings) in Malaysia, our budget hotels are not in a position to compete with neighbouring countries(eg. Thailand, Philippines). Government’s pro-active intervention is required:
    1)More of our budget hotels (2-STAR and below OR room rate less than USD 25) should be encouraged(incentives?) to advertise on the web.
    2)Those budget accomodations meeting certain criteria set by the ministry(eg.cleanliness,facilities,value for money , customers’ feedback to the ministry through the ministry’s website/blog)should be rewarded (annual competition ?)
    3)Similar promotions should also be given to quality and affordable restaurants and eating stalls.
    4)Of course, our general disadvantages in the tourism sector are mainly :
    a) Transportation – especially the taxi services
    b) Cleanliness – especially toilet facilities,wet markets(Pasar Pudu, Chow Kit)
    c) Maps & road signs, tips – especially for those with limited budget and time (target specific destinations, eg. in KL – China Town,Twin Tower, JLN Masjid India/Jln. TAR, National Museum, + affordable quick trips to Putra Jaya, Genting).

  2. Dear Honourable Tun,
    I am a chinese staying in Putrajaya and had been staying other towns like in Selangor and KL before. Putrajaya is the BEST for staying and THANK YOU for creating such a city for rakyat. It is a clean, queit and peaceful city to stay in. Most important we have an efficient Perbadanan to support this city. It would be great this city where multi race are staying. My children pick up bahasa very fast after befriending with our malay neighbours.
    I sincerely hope that the govt build chinese and tamil school in Putrajaya to attract more other races to stay here.

  3. Salam Tun,
    Saya dapati setiap pelancong yang datang ke Putrajaya akan kagum dengan bangunan yang cantik2 yang melambangkan identiti Malaysia.
    Saya setuju dengan cadangan Tun untuk mewujudkan kedai kopi atau restoran di sekitar boulevard. Saya rasa kalau kita buat pushcart letak tengah2 jalan di boulevard pun dah cukup baik dah. Tengah2 jalan tu memang banyak ada reserve. Kalau tak pun tepi jalan di kaki lima boulevard pun boleh. Kerusi meja boleh ditarik keluar masuk. Kemudian pasang ‘big screen’. Boleh tengok bola sekali. Sayang, malam2 banyak remaja bersidai di jambatan Seri Wawasan berdua2an dan melepak. Mereka ni bukannya nak sangat duduk kat situ pun. Hanya kerana tidak ada tempat yang sesuai yang boleh mereka duduk dan melepak sambil menikmati suasana indah Putrajaya.

  4. what a great, great idea! putrajaya like paris wow. also, its true -what a waste that one of the most beautiful spot in Malaysia is totally barren at night..

  5. Sebenarnya Tun.. kalau nak bagi putrajaya tu meriah waktu malam… senang je… kerajaan patut bahagi waktu kerja kakitangan awam kat PUTRAJAYA… separuh kerja 7 pagi 4 petang… separuh lagi kerja 12 tengahari – 9 malam… untuk PUTRAJAYA sahaja… maka waktu operasi pusat pentadbiran kerajaan persekutuan bertambah 5 jam … yakni 7 pagi – 9 malam…. dah tentu malam di putrajaya lebih meriah !!!
    sayangnya Tun dah tak dalam kerajaan…

  6. I believe the present government shall proceed with the monorail inside the Putrajaya as per your planned. It is annoying to see the half way monorail bridge lies there with no use.
    Anyway, Saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa kepada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan Datin Dr Siti Hasmah.

  7. Whats the point of building all those crap building which does not serve any purpose but for cosmestic display only? Why spend fortunes on impractical STRUCTURES when there are so many people out there that need help??Are the leaders blind or selfish? I hope those people who use the Rakyat’s money for personal gain to be blessed with the WORST HEALTH and may you SELFISH so called leaders all suffer before dying slowly.
    I hope REAL Leaders will ARISE to help Malaysia gain back its GLORY and SHINE!

  8. Salam Tun,
    Putrajaya memang best,bandar orang Melayu sebab KL dah didominate oleh kaum lain. Tun terpaksa ujud capital baru dimana orang Melayu boleh survive. Malangnya 95% penduduk adalah pegawai Kerajaan.Pagi keluar kerja balik ptg dah exhausted. Hari cuti saja boleh bersiar. Bangsa lain tak minat nak labur diputrajaya sebab slow growth. Pendapat saya biar dull tapi ianya SELAMAT. Tidak banyak jenayah diputrajaya dan agak selamat secara keseluruhan. Sedih malam Jumaat Mesjid Putrajaya tak ramai jemaah untuk baca Yassin tapi sembahyang Jumaat penuh hingga kena bina mesjud baru. Surau diPrecint 8 & 9 juga fullhouse. Maintain yang ada cukuplah. Apa nak enjoy sangat kita hidup bukan lama. Orang pencen tentu suka Putrajaya.

  9. Salam Dr Mahathir,
    If you think Putrajaya is dull then you should come and visit Shah Alam.
    Compared to Putrajaya , Shah Alam started much much earlier. In terms
    of development it is very slow, at least on the side where we are staying.
    After about 10 years living in Shah Alam, the only shopping complex
    that is of worth mentioning and about 1/4 the size of Alamanda was
    built ( completed in 2006 ) next to PKNS Complex. This shopping mall
    is called the SACC Mall. Only lately can you see the Mall came to life
    since it was launched by HRH Tengku Idris, two years ago. And that’s
    only during week ends mind you.
    At the same time , another building came up near to SACC Mall.
    Earlier I thought it was a government office, but after sometime on
    completion, it turned out to be a mall. The Anggerek Mall as is called
    is meant for SME Bumis doing the same business like in PKNS Complex
    and Medan Mara in KL. The landlord is of course MARA . I read in the
    paper sometime back, that the business there is half dead. No response
    from the public.
    If you happened to pass by PKNS Complex ( which is the nerve centre
    of Shah Alam) around 8pm only KFC and McDonald are open.
    Shah Alam is such because there’s not much buying power. Majority of
    the residents around my area are either pensioners or UiTM students.
    So you can only find a bustling of life of UiTM students late into the
    night at McDonald’s, Teh Tarik joints and at a particular Medan Selera
    which happens to be nearby to my place.
    At night , other than the deafening sound of the motorcycles which often
    passed by the main road fronting my house, the only other sound that
    would keep me awake is my partner snoring.

  10. Most beloved Tun, the twenty-two years that you were at the helm should be considered the Golden Age for Malaysia. There was never a dull moment, and everyday we woke up to hear what new ideas you might implement. And implement them you did. We were so very proud whenever you made speeches at international conferences, because we saw that the other world leaders sat up, took notice and were impressed. Some of them hated you, most loved you but we suspect all of them acknowledged you as a great man of vision. At home you handled any crises swiftly and efficiently; you never waited until the situations got out of hand. THIS is the kind of leader that Malaysia needs and deserves. But sadly you grew old, and so you handed over the reins to someone who can never hope to fill your shoes. My daughter met you at 1-Utama and she went to you and kissed your hand. She told her friend that you were her idol.
    Dear Tun, what we’d give to have you back at the top.
    Putrajaya is an impressive work of art. My sister came home from the USA where she’s been living for the last forty years. KLIA she saw often, KLCC she has seen a few times, the highways she has travelled on everytime she came home, so one time we took her to Putrajaya. And she was truly impressed. Tun, you may have your failings, but whatever you left behind are things that will remain impressive and a source of pride for a long, long time to come.
    Semoga Tun and wife panjang umur and sihat walafiat sentiasa.

  11. Bila sebut sahaja Putrajaya, orang akan terfikir bahawa Putrajaya hanyalah kawasan perumahan untuk kakitangan kerajaan. Aduh, sedihnya saya bila mendengar respons sebegini. Hakikatnya, ramai yang tidak tahu bahawa hartanah di Putrajaya ini juga boleh dan telah dimiliki selain kakitangan kerajaan.
    Baru2 ini saya meninjau projek perumahan di Presint 15. Rekabentuk rumah2 di situ menarik. Malangnya rumah2 itu dibina hanya untuk didiami oleh kakitangan kerajaan. Kondominium sahaja dibuka untuk orang luar dengan harga RM300,000. Ini sedikit sebanyak merencatkan perancangan untuk membeli hartanah di Putrajaya.
    Saya juga pernah bercadang untuk membeli rumah di Presint 9. Selalunya, pembeli rumah boleh memilih unit yang diminati berdasarkan “siapa cepat dia dapat’. Malangnya, saya tidak boleh berbuat demikian kerana unit yang saya minati hanya untuk dijual kepada kakitangan kerajaan (walaupun ketika itu unit tersebut masih kosong). Sudahlah dapat diskaun 25%, dapat unit lot tepi lagi….
    Sebab itulah, sedikit sebanyak menjadikan Putrajaya “as it is now”.

  12. AA Tun,
    No city can be be made perfect with one stroke. Partnership between citizens and the local council are necessary to the make the city alive. The artificial cities before Putrajaya like Brasilia are now buzzing with life. I can’t say the same about Canberra though.

  13. Tun, kembalikan lah sinar kegemilangan malaysia….org2 perbadanan putrajaya sila ambil tindakan dari apa yg Tun kata….

  14. Salam ayahanda Tun.
    Selamat berpuasa dan moga sihat walafiat.
    Saya amat berbangga dengan Tun. Dari saya lahir, Tun membesarkan Malaysia hingga ke puncak kejayaan. Malaysia tersohor di mata dunia dengan kebijaksanaan Tun dalam membuat keputusan. Saya membesar bersama-sama Tun, Malaysia dan kejayaannya.
    Kini walaupun sinar kejayaan tersebut telah malap dan semakin gelap.. namun cahaya kegemilangan Tun tetap bersinar dihati kami. Terima kasih Tun kerana berjaya membesarkan kami warga Malaysia.
    Hari ini sekali lagi saya merasa amat berbangga. Membaca snippet Tun kali ini, sememangnya didalam membuat keputusan dan merancang sesuatu, bukan sahaja Tun amat bijaksana malah Tun juga kreatif.. sangat kreatif sehingga unsur kreatif itu Tun gunakan didalam kepakaran Tun. Hasil idea kreatif dan bijaksana ini tentulah sesuatu yang indah dan berkesan.
    Sayangnya ia tidak mampu dilihat oleh kepimpinan masakini yang dikatakan hebat kepintarannya.
    Dan sinar kegemilangan Malaysia kini semakin terus malap…

  15. Salam YABhg Tun,
    Saya telah ke Putrajaya, Lebih tepat ke Pejabat Imigresen. Memang tak dinafikan Putrajaya sebuah tempat yang boleh dibanggakan.
    Tetapi sayang oleh kerana beberapa kekurangan seseorang akan berkata yang Putra Jaya sebuah bandar tak siap @ tak sempurna. Pembangunan yang tak seimbang.
    Apa yang buat saya terkilan ialah tempat meletak kereta di hadapan bangunan imigresen yang agak menyedihkan lalu saya berbisik pada rakan saya ” JIKA TUN MASIH PM TENTU PERKARA INI TIDAK AKAN BERLAKU”.
    Walaupun perkara ini dilihat kecil tetapi ia mencacatkan keseluruhan pembangunan kawasan tersebut.

  16. The Alamanda looks as if it it has seen better days, although it’s very new. That is the only ‘commercial area’ now. The sad part is that there were so many “study tours” undertaken and yet we simply cannot make things work. In the case of Alamanda, it is almost a replica of the Bluewater just outside London. I’m sure there were hordes of people (including the consultants) who went. Most of them would have brought their families too. After all,it’s London that they were going, never mind that there are thousands of other complexes that they could have gone to. And nearer and cheaper to go to anyway.

  17. saudara saya yang datang dari jakarta indonesia mesti wajib ke putrajaya.diorang cemburu kenapelah jakarta punya pusat pentadbiran tak macam ni.asyik banjir je.diorang terlopong tengok istana perdana menteri cantik.lepas tu diorang heran macammana kita buat cantik dan teraturnya putrajaya.diorang pun nak buat juga kat indonesia.tapi belum ada modal lagi.tapi diorang heran kenape monorail tu tinggal tiang je.macam kat jakarta pulak.ada tiang tak ada monoral.saya cakap nak tunggu scomi buat tapi asyik sibuk nak lobby monaral kat india dan timur tengah. dah 2 tahun saya dengar scomi tu asyik lobby kat luar negeri buat monoral tapi tak dapat dapat juga projek tu kat luar negeri.jadi diorang buat kesimpulan mungkin scomi ada idea baru.tiang monaral tu di buang ganti cabel car dari kl cental ke putrajaya dan klia.idea ni kreatif dan innovatif.boleh lah buat cabel terpanjang di dunia yang merentas kl central purajaya dan klia.apa macam rakyat malaysia?boleh masuk guiness record.lagipun duit subsidi kita kan banyak baru ni lepas kenaikan minyak .ini kan projek pembangunan rakyat.boleh lah nanti raja kalimullah panggil temasek untuk invest.pertukarannya putrajaya,klia dan sepang diberkan kepada temasek untuk gantirugi.saya rasa pak lah mesti bangga kerana malaysia menjadi pemecah rekod di dunia.apalah salahnya kan kita baru hilang sebiji batu baru ni.batu putih.tak ada nilainya di banding hilang putrajaya dan sepang.kalau boleh pak lah bagi malaysia ni kat temasek kerana jasa-jasa mereka membuang batu keluar dari peta malaysia.hidup pak lah.menang sorak kampung tergadai.turun kan pak lah sebelum malaysia punah ranah dalam tangannya.

  18. Assalammualaikum Ayahanda Tun,
    Semua orang tahu bahawa Putrajaya merupakan bandar visi masa depan yang telah dikoreograf oleh ayahanda Tun. Setiap bangunan berbeza dari segi architecture, setiap lanskap dan taman-taman di sekelilingnya begitu indah dan mempesona tapi tiada cafe, restoran, mungkin butik-butik, dan bank atau ATM yang boleh dikira dengan jari. Pelancong datang untuk ambi gambar tapi nak menghilangkan haus kena pegi Bangi atau Kajang. Cadangan ayahanda Tun untuk membina cafe/restoran mungkin hanya tinggal cadangan sebab pemimpin sekarang lebih sibuk dengan merebut jawatan sesama sendiri. Walaupun Putrajaya bandar melayu, sekiranya diberikan kebenaran dan bangunan untuk mendirikan perniagaan kepada orang melayu, Insya-Allah mampu berjaya memandangkan pelancong dalam dan luar negara tidak putus-putus melawatnya pada waktu siang.
    Saya mencadangkan diwujudkan satu deretan kedai samada di tingkat bawah bangunan kerajaan sekarang (sama paras dengan jalanraya) di sepanjang jalan lurus bermula dari bangunan pertama (pandangan dari masjid Putrajaya) hingga ke bangunan terakhir di kiri dan kanan jalan. Di samping itu, diwujudkan juga tempat Hall of Fame di laluan pejalan kaki yang dikhaskan.
    Untuk menarik lebih ramai pengunjung, disediakan juga galeri pameran untuk kereta-kereta eksotik seperti Ferrari, Porshe, Lamborghini, Mc Laren F1, dan lain-lain serta ruang jualan bagi motorsikal berkuasa besar seperti Harley Davidson, MV Agusta (untuk tunjukkan kepada rakyat Malaysia betapa mahalnya harga motor tersebut), triumph, ducati, motor2 jepun dan itali.
    Sekian untuk Yang Dihormati Ayahanda Tun dan isteri. Selamat berpuasa

  19. Salam Tun..
    Saya rasa kita perlukan pemimpin yang lebih kreatif lagi..yang boleh berfikir dengan bijaksana. Mungkin pemimpin sekarang tak boleh fikir macam yang Tun fikir..

  20. Salam Ayah Tun,
    Saya rasa Putrajaya adalah tempat satu2-nya orang Melayu kita membangunkan dengan baik dan sukses. Dan saya bangga ayah Tun berjaya membangunkan New Urban City yang dibina oleh orang Melayu kita sendiri. Saya tak sangka pendapat saya dengan Ayah Tun begitu sama sekali, saya ingat saya seorang saja..haha..
    Bagi saya, Putrajaya adalah tempat untuk semua orang kunjungi. Tak semestinya untuk tempat bisnes dan korporat saja. Orang kata sekarang, Putrajaya ‘tempat mati’. Tidak ada apa2 pun. Kita perlukan ‘entertainment’ sedikit sebanyak di Putrajaya.
    Putrajaya inilah segala titik peluh ayah Tun membangunkan. Saya rasa amat bangga sangat.
    Tidak Lupa Kampung Baru! Tempat satu2-nya orang Melayu kita ada di K.L…(tapi ada juga orang Melayu sewa pada bangsa lain)..agak sedih..
    zackry,

  21. Salam to you Dr.
    I do very much agree with you on the night life in Putrajaya.
    The problem is that the administration and the management of this place don’t really have any ideas to come up in order to make the city lively.
    Even more sad, is that the Prime Minister himself is DULL, so making the city even dull.
    If this man is a many of cheerful, I’m sure he knows what to do in order to turn the night life of this city into a light of cheers not only to the people of Putrajaya, but also to those who comes down to Putrajaya.
    Being the Prime Minister who live in this city…, he can make a lot of differences, but regret to say….he only goes back to sleep. Which I think that is the best he can do to Putrajaya.

  22. Dear Tun,
    As a Malaysian,im really proud of Putrajaya.
    I used to went down all the way from PJ to take picture at night.
    I think it will be a lot different more shops , restaurants insert in PUTRAJAYA the administrative capital.
    For me Putajaya is not dull but is PEACEFUL.. 🙂

  23. Dearest Tun,
    Back in 1999, me ad my family have visited Putrajaya. We are very impress betapa canggihnya pusat pentadbiran ini. Di kesempatan itu juga saya bergambar di hadapan Bangunan Perdana Putra. Bangga akan Putrajaya, saya tanamkan impian akan suatu hari saya akan berkhidmat di sini. Thank God, sudah 4 tahun saya di sini dan masih berbangga akan Putrajaya. Berurusan dengan foreigner yang kerap ke pejabat, Putrajaya sentiasa mendapat pujian. Pilihan mereka menaiki cruise menyusuri tasik Putrajaya. Betapa sistematiknya Putrajaya sehinggakan Pangkalan Polis Marin pun ditempatkan di Tasek Putrajaya. Tun tidak perlulah untuk berasa bersalah. Segala-galanya adalah terbaik dari Tun. It was and is a great idea. It just need an improvement. Seperti juga wujudnya Malaysian Coast Guard hari ini adalah salah satu idea Tun. Correct me if I am wrong. Betapa bersungguhnya anggota-anggota ini menjalankan tugas untuk menjaga perairan negara agar jauh dari anasir jahat. Semuanya adalah untuk keamanan Malaysia tercinta ini. Seperti amannya Putrajaya di malam hari.
    p/s: Feel free to visit to MMEA. 😉

  24. Salam Tun,
    Tun,i am an Architect by profession and i must say i am very proud of Putrajaya, good vision on your part. I dont think you remember me Tun but in the early 1990s we met when i was the architect in charge of the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Center, another initiative that you did to promote the sport among Malaysians.
    Anyway, Putrajaya represents a well planned capital city in the same league as Canberra and showed to the world what we can do if we have enough vision and political will to achieve something great. Great civilisations always have an icon to show their achievements i.e Rome for Romans, Pyramids for the Egyptians and the Great Wall of China for the early Chinese empires.
    However Tun, i was quite sad that the beautiful houses which line up along the lakes are not open to member of the public to buy. The majority of the housing is exclusive for the government servants. I was very keen to buy one as i enjoy the peace and quiet Putrajaya provides which is missing in KL. The weird thing is that the houses become very expensive now and i am not sure whether all the government servants can afford them. What will happen to the vacant units if they are not taken? Surely this will add to the problem of ” the ghost town”. When this happens the crime rate will go up which is already happening.
    Selamat Hari Raya to Tun and family, maaf zahir dan batin

  25. 敬爱的敦马哈地 医生你好
    我非常仰慕敦马, 因为敦马具有宏观的视野,做事果敢。 建造雪邦吉隆坡国际机
    场,南北大道,双峰塔及布城就是其中的例子。布城的确非常美丽,具有吸引力但
    人口太少。如能吸引更多人到那边居住将会增加它的活力。我们也应该把重点
    放在制造商机 以鼓励年轻人到那儿创业及居住,以舒解吉隆坡面对的发展压力。
    布城或吉隆坡未来的增值并不是单单靠于基社及产业的提升,也有关乎到人文,艺
    术及环保的因素。巴黎之所以闻名世界不是单单因为它是现代化的城市,也是因为
    这个城市不论是在人文,艺术或是环保都能呈现独特的风格,尤其是它的卢浮宫博
    物馆非常吸引游客到来法国。吉隆坡虽没有卢浮宫,但是活生生的博物馆也是非常
    有足够魅力。比如先都-曼蔗拉拉区就是一个亚洲的蹜影,在这地区有马来人,淡
    米尔人, 暹罗人,僧加罗人, 锡克人,古哈拉地人,及各籍贯的华人的村庄并建
    有他们的宗教场所及会馆。
    而且每天早晨我们可以在位于先都 的迩迈河岸看到栖息的苍鹭。这种
    独特的风格难在世界上其他地方找到,是我国人民应该引以为荣的。
    有鉴于此我希望吉隆坡市镇局的策划部门在修改吉隆坡发展大蓝图时能够更细心地注意也有关乎到人文,艺术及环保的因素。尽量保护各民族的村庄。把这些村庄规划为文化遗产保留区
    我也建议市镇局的策划部门认真的研究在吉隆坡实行垂直農耕 (Vertical Farming), 因为我国有优厚的条件实行 垂直農耕, 以改善环保,粮食自供及能源效益的问题。市镇局者可鼓励人们在废弃的烟房或矿地实行垂直農耕。
    Salam Tun Dr Mahatir
    Tahniah saya nak ucapkan kepada Tun kerana tahu mengurus risko dan melabur, Putra
    Jaya adalah satu bandar yang sangat menarik tetapi penduduk kurang.Bercadang
    supaya kita berikan lebih tumpuan untuk menarik penduduk ke sana kerana Kuala
    Lumpur mengalami desakan pembangunan.
    Saya juga berpendapat bahawa penigkatan nilai Bandar seperti Kuala Lumpur
    Putrajaya pada masa akan datang bukan sahaja bergantung kepada peningkatan
    pembinaan infrastucture dan bangunann sahaja, tetapi juga ada kaitan dengan
    unsur kemanusian, keseniaan ,kebudayaaan dan pemeliharaaan alam sekitar.
    Bandar yang bertaraf dunia seperti PARIS terkenal di dunia bukan kerana ia adalah
    metropolinian yang moden sahaja , tetapi bandar itu juga mempamirkan unsur budaya ,seni dan alam sekitarnya yang istimewah misal nya
    Muzium LOUVRE yang sungguh menarik.
    Kita tidak ada MUZIUM LOUVRE di KUALA LUMPUR , akan tetapi MUZIUM yang Bernyawa atau LIVELY MUSIUM di KUALA LUMPUR juga tidak kurang menarik.Kawasan ZON SENTUL MANJARALA yang terhias dengan budaya
    Melayu,Tamil, Thai,Sikh Sinhalese ,Gujarati dan China benar benar mempamirkan Truly
    Asia In Malaysia, sesuatu keistimewahan yang kita orang Malaysia harus banggakan.
    Juga dibahagian Sungai Gombak yang berdekatan dengan sentul boleh nampak
    burung bangau jalan atas air sungai pada waktu pagi.
    Putrajaya kalau banding dengan KL adalah satu Bandar yang lebih terancang yang lebih
    Memberikan pertimbangan kepada KEHIJAUAN. Permandangan Tasik sungguh cantik ,seakan akan dengan permandangan yang terdapat di GAMBAR FILEM
    “THE SOUND OF MUSIC”.
    Permandangan yang istimewah ini pasti akan menarik pengunjung luar negara ke
    Kuala Lumpur dan PUTRAJAYA dan menjanakan pendapatan matawang asing kepada
    negara kita. Pada pendapat saya pengunjung luar negara ke Kuala Lumpur
    dan PUTRAJAYA dijangka akan meningkat berikutan dengan penyenaraian
    Georgetown dan Kota Melaka sebagai warisan dunia.
    Sukacita jika pihak DBKL atau PENGURUSAN PUTRA JAYA dapat memperuntukan
    kawasan bagi project VERTICAL FARMING yang menggunakan kaedah yang
    diubasuaikan daripada aerospace technogy untuk menanam dalam bangunan yang
    bertingkat tinggi. Tananaman yang diperolehi boleh membekalkan bekalan makanan bagi
    50000 orang penduduk.(Mengikut lapuran Discovery).Saya yakin Negara kita
    mempunyai kelebihan geograghi untuk menjayakan project ini. Harus kita bertindak segera supaya tidak ketinggalan.
    Yang Ikhlas
    GOHO

  26. Yang Berbahagia Tun,
    Saya simpati dengan apa yang berlaku dengan Putrajaya. Sepatutnya ianya boleh lebih gah dari Paris, tetapi sedih dengan apa yang terjadi.
    Bila sepintas lalu di Putrajaya, landskap tidak terjaga, bata (pavement) banyak yang tercabut, tiang2 lampu yang usang. Apa nak buat. Ada certain people di sana yang motto hidupnya ialah untuk memadamkan segala kegemilangan Tun. Berbagai dasar dan kertas konsep dan macam-macam lagi dibuat,semua tinggal di atas kertas. Sampai sekarang saya tak berapa faham kenapa Kementerian Pendidikan ditukar nama jadi Kementerian Pelajaran? Dan lagi satu, segan juga saya nak cakap di sini yang sampai sekarang saya tak faham sangat apa itu Islam Hadhari. Memang ada golongan yang tidak dapat mentaakul konsep ‘memikir masa hadapan’, thinking beyond the present time, bagi mereka, masa depan itu sesuatu yang tak ‘pasti’, maka tak payahlah risau sangat. Kena pikir dulu hari ini, perut nak makan apa.
    Moga-moga semua mendapat taufik dan hidayah.

  27. Selamat pagi buat TUN ,isteri dan semua.Tun ,putra jaya harus ada kemajuan lagi.Bukan sahaja dari aspek persekitarannya malahan dari sudut keselamatan juga jangan diabaikan.Apabila jenayah semakin melampau sekarang ini.Jika negara kita selamat dan aman tak mustahil pelabur2 akan datang kesini.Tetapi dengan kadar jenayah yang meningkat malahan secara terang2an ,ini menyebabkan kepercayaan pelabur untuk melabur juga terhakis.Mana ada orang yang mahu tinggal dinegara yang tak habis2 dengan jenayah juga kestabilan politik juga kucar kacir ?.Ini ditambah lagi sikap rakyat MALAYSIA yang malas dan nak kaya cepat seperti rasuah.Jangan biarkan negara kita seperti Indonesia,Thailand,myammar banyak lagi.Semoga niat Tun masuk umno untuk menyelamatkan negara diberkati ALLAH.

  28. Salam sejahtera Tun
    LAB TEST 3: BUILD PUTRAJAYA 2
    KEY FNDING: 1. Mimimum cars – use integrated (mobility) public system
    2. sufficient parking (level parking) for all bulding complex (integrated with 1)
    3. explore new/retail concept – automatic mechanized delivery to home (maybe integrated with 1)
    4. Airport – avoid villager migrate – connect to all key towns – kapal terbang kilang like bus kilang concept ( integrated with 1)
    5. all buldings based above concept – designed with pedestrian station – why building not square..?
    6. of course with tasik
    7. automatic mechanized pedestrian mobility system – maybe use roller coaster driving concept – much cheaper than LRT
    KEY ISSUE: Capital and leadrership
    PROBABLE SOLUTION: new leader to consider and decide

  29. Salam Tun.
    1. Putrajaya is indeed the most beautiful place I ever been (Ive been at US, UK and paris), but as claimed by you, it is dull at night.
    2. It is not bad thing tho, as I hate crowded place. Putrajaya is so tenteram and can soothe my tension during the day.
    3. A little bit of entertainment will be good but traffic management must be in sync.
    4. I dont want Putrajaya will be like KL, jammed here and there. Make my head always wants to explode.
    5. The only entertainment place at Putrajaya is Alamanda. Lots of people in there and I like it. But Tun’s idea on putting coffee shop and theaters on the boulevard is really great. I like it. Strolling on the boulevard with beautiful lights. Wow now I really craving for that moment.
    6. But please, no bar and disco as it will tarnish the serenity of Putrajaya.
    Regards,
    M.Huzaifah M.

    Tun adalah pemimpin terbilang utk bangsa,agama dan negara malaysia.
    2020 sy dah dgr sejak sy dibangku skolah rendah lagi, skrg saya dah 26thn..tun jadi pm saya blum lahir lg,sy grad study 2002,tun grad jadi pm 2003.
    era tun tade siapa brani pertikaikan org melayu lebih2 lg agama ISLAM..
    ada org ckp tun diktator tp lantak lah org nk ckp apa.. buruk dlm 20% je tun,tp yg baik byk tun laksanakan utk rakyat..yang paling penting setiap keputusan tun xpenah seluruh rakyat malaysia rasa susah,lebih2 lagi yg mmg dah susah,
    sy asal hulu trg,tp bekerja di johor..rata2 org johor ckp BERBANGGA dgn usaha tun nk buat jambatan indah(sepatutnya dulu tun siapkan dulu jambatan indah,br resign as a pm) tp nk buat mcm qada & qadar dah tetapkn spt yg berlaku.
    skrg ni kat johor ni tade apa dah nk dibanggakan.. batu putih singapore dpt..rasanya kalu zmn tun yg pegang x dpt pulau tu kat singapore,tp mende ni mcm singapore dh plan tun tade singapore fight2 gila nk dpt pulau batu putih,ada dgr crite surat original malaysia sebenarnya berhak kpd pulau batu putih ada kat singapore,cuma malaysia tade copynya ( terima maklumat ni dari kawan kat s’pore)
    sejak tun resign tunggang langang ngra malaysia ni..most important bila tun resign baru tun tahukan hati budi org2 yg b4 ni sokong tun.
    tun,kalu dah masuk blk umno,mencelah dlm percalonan presiden umno. sentuhan tun amat dirindui rakyat.keberanian tun bersuara di peringkat dunia pn amat dibanggakan..
    pm skrg ckp2 hampeh,x nampak lngsg apa perancangan utk rakyat.
    melainkan setiap keputusannya adalah bakal menyusahkan rakyat.
    saya kalu blh nak menuntut dgn tun ilmu ekonomi ni..sbb sy bekerja sendiri.jadi ilmu2 ekonomi saya kena tahu baru blh majukan syarikat saya dan tambahkan rezeki saya.
    byk yang nk ditulis tp mata ni dah rasa mengantuk,xde cara lain dah nk hubungi tun,nasib ada internet dan chedet.com,kalu xde chedet ni,
    dalam hayat saya ni tak pernah rasanya tulisan saya yg dibaca oleh tun.
    x payah publish tun.ni hanya personal komen bkn utk tatapan umum,sbb ni just hanya nk luahkan pada tun shj kepayahan/kesusahan rakyat era skrg ni (termasuk saya) mcmana lah feel jadi org senang.
    terima kasih tun 1981-2003,,
    youre great leaders.
    ibu saya slalu ckp yang baik kita ikut,
    yang buruk kita jadikan tauladan.

    BERDOALAH slalu pd ALLAH moga2 kesihatan,usia tun di BERKATI ALLAH.
    sembahyang jgn lupa tun..

  31. Dear Tun,
    Love you foresight. That is why I believe you can still contribute enormously today even in the chess nut we are in today.
    Please Lead.

  32. Ir. Syahrizan comment is irrelevant in this subject here.
    Very sad that Syahrizan sounds very racist and uncivilzed engineer in a modern Malaysia. We believed all bloggers agreed that you should refrain with your dirty comments on ISA matter. Many innocents have suffered and tortured wrongly by ISA was created by the self-fish British to rule and divide Malaysians in 1950s and using the terrorists excuses like Americans to torture the innocents and weak nations.
    It is very rude and disturbance to read your racist remarks on someone whom you dont know or provided your own judgement without proper evidence and proof to insult a person integrity. Also your comment was irrelevant and totally wrong because you have lack of understanding the dragonian law of ISA, its objectives and history of ISA. You are merely listened to hearsay rumours and read biased stories in racist media or politicians from both parties in the ruling parties and opposition parties.
    Final warning, please keep your mouth clean and bertaubat in holy Ramadan month. Dont berfitnah “sesiapa samada orang yang dikena ISA atau beliau di bawah tahanan ISA” with your sharp dirty comments here.
    We, Muslims of Malays and Non-Malays always belief and trust ALLAH s.w.t is great that we must let a person defends his/her own rights from the accused to proof his/her wrongdoings if any. Otherwise, Islam always advised Muslims to be patient and calm to know the moment of truth about any religions or races before Muslims pass any judgement on them. Similar other races also cannot passed any remarks on another religions but the current crisis was developed and enhanced by dirty politicians yet to know who is the main culprit who started it. Let the authorities to investigate in CSI to interview the Iman-Iman of masjid masjid, residents and public. Todate, many Malays and Muslims were upset that our Iman-iman and committee members are talking the momenth of truth to deny false statements, media publications and ex-MB claimed about someone who voted in public office with majority votes from all races. You cannot throw stone to accuse someone under ISA is guity in your own one sided mind. Beware, ALLAH s.w.t is watching everyone on their choices of words and actions in this holy month.
    Please close the sensitive religion and racist topics in Che Det Blog for a better One NATION , One DREAM , One System, One Bangsa Malaysia Bersatu!

  33. Asm Tun,
    Putra Jaya is OK. What you did was right. You “kick start” a well planned administrative center which will divert the development pressure from Kl itself. The problem is that you have fail to pass on the Drive & Ambition that you have to the new leaders (or elders). Your gratest failure is not being able to produce leaders who are visionaries, community centric as well as down to earth. What you have manage to produce are too many opportunist.
    The blame is not neccessailrly on you becoz some people are just “malas nak berfikir”.

  34. Salam Tun,
    Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun. Putrajaya menjadi sunyi sepi kalau tidak ada acara rasmi atau aktiviti terutama pada malam hari..Insyallah tun, i’m working on Rancangan Struktur Putrajaya 2025 will take your suggestions as a priority in the development of Putrajaya in future. Walaupun tugas saya hanya kecil,tapi saya akan usaha Tun. I’ll not let what u worked die mcm tue sajer. Tahniah Tun, your vision and mission is always acceptable dari dulu,kini dan selamanya.. Tun, kami sokong 100% keputusan Tun pulang ke dalam UMNO. Pimpin la kami Tun, selagi anda mampu. Sedarkan Melayu dari mudah lupa, tegur lah kami sekiranya kami salah.. Hidup Melayu, Hidup Tun Dr Mahathir!!! Love You TDM..
    Salam..

  35. Salam Tun,
    Memang benar tiada apa yg menarik di Putrajaya ketika malam menjelma. Idea2 bernas Tun sepatutnya diketengahkan agar dapat menjadikan Putrajaya sebagai satu tempat tumpuan ramai untuk bersantai di malam hari. Namun pengawasan juga perlu agar tiada berlaku sebarang kegiatan2 tidak sihat.
    Sebagai contoh Alamanda, hanya ada tempat untuk bershopping sahaja. Cubalah wujudkan satu pusat bacaan umum ygmana warga Malaysia boleh memperkayakan ilmu pengetahuan mereka. Sudahlah untuk ke perpustakaan negara lokasinya agak jauh dan sesak (susah nak parking), mutu bahan bacaannya juga pada saya agak ketinggalan. Mungkin itulah sebabnya masyarakat negara ini “terpaksa menjadi malas” untuk membaca. Yg dapat saya perhatikan kedai2 buku seperti MPH, Kinokunia, Borders sahaja yg menjadi tumpuan bukan apa boleh baca free. Sudah tiba masanya konsep perpustakaan negara itu ditukar konsep menjadi lebih mesra rakyat. Mutu bahan bacaan kenalah setanding atau lebih dari kedai2 buku yg ada di sini barulah boleh menarik kunjungan belia & masyarakat seluruhnya. Juga satu yg kurang adalah urusan promosi, kiranya Tun perhatikan kalau ada apa2 event jarang sekali diwar2kan kepada masyarakat juga tidak konsisten. Rasanya kewujudan perpustakaan negara itu hanya pada nama sahaja kot. Saya nak cadangkan jika Tun ada kelapangan bolehlah buat lawatan tak rasmi ke sana.
    Sekadar pandangan.
    Wasalam.

  36. TDM
    one of the initiatives under your administration which I agree and appreciate. Of course, the intentions of PutraJaya were to become versatile – more versatile than Canberra which has a similar feel to PutraJaya at night. Desolate!
    It is afterall an administrative capital and I guess will have it’s challenges to become vibrant like KL which is the financial capital.
    Maybe you should write your suggestions to the Mayor of PutraJaya (pardon my ignorance, but is there one)? If there is no Mayor for this location, then I’d suggest that should be your first suggestion in establishing one so that such planning can be managed from a City Council perspective. After all, what is their function in ensuring the sustainability of the city? You may have the understanding given you had major input into establishing this location, the present PM himself must be involved in making sure these proposals are taken seriously and looked at implementation. Sir, you probably have PM Abdullah’s direct line and could quite easily call to discuss these views with him. Don’t you talk to him anymore?

  37. Salam YABhg Tun,
    Wrt to your point no.21:
    ” 21. Not being in the Government, I cannot influence anything anymore. But I hope the powers that be will read this snippet on Putrajaya. ”
    1)I felt very sad how current goverment of Pak Lah failed to deliver taks by his predecessor i.e. Jambatan Bengkok at JB, dim Putra Jaya and breathless KLIA (I just name a few). AAB just busied or dreaming of his four buried corridors except SCORE will be succesfull.
    2)I suggest Tun:-
    President UMNO cum M’sian PM for 2009 : Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
    (For At least 2 yrs to repair
    BN/UMNO).
    Timbalan President cum DPM : Muhiyddin Yassin (MY)
    3) Tan Sri MY will be your succeesor for next PM for 2011.
    – But while you hand over to muhiyddin, provide some conditions –
    (Lesson learnt from badawi)
    ” You I suggest as a “Goverment Advisor” which is upper position than PM just like what Lee Yuan Kew did in Singapore as minister mentor.”
    Please Tun, we support you, Lee Kuan Yew can do, Why you can’t????
    TUN BOLEH…..
    Regards,
    Sarawak_06 always you in our heart.

  38. Salam YABhg Tun,
    In due respect to you YABhg Tun, I would like to advise some commentors of this blog, to convey greeting first before write any statement, we had been taught in schools of whatever schools you have attended. Please repect YABhg Tun, the stateman who had blended M’sia into what achievement we have seen today.
    Regards,
    Sarawak-06

  39. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Saya dengar khabar bahawa DSAI telah memperolehi 43 buah kerusi. Siasat punya siasat betul rupanya. Dia beli sebuah kerusi roda dan 42 kerusi untuk meja makan.
    Mudah-mudahan rakyat negara ini tidak mudah panik dengan berita yang sensasi ini.
    Dan marilah kita orang-orang Islam berdoa di bulan puasa yang mulia ini semoga DSAI tidak akan jadi PM negara ini. Hancur negara kita dibuatnya.

  40. Tun,
    Kalau tidak kerana Tun….
    tak adalah putrajaya
    tak adalah lebuh raya utara selatan
    tak adalah jambatan penang
    tak adalah 2nd link Johor
    tak adalah negara malaysia di kenali ramai…
    memang otak Tun bergeliga…..
    tapi mengapa otak yang lainnya karat belaka?
    sekian dari saya

  41. Dear Tun,
    The idea of developing a federal government management center was created by the Honorable Tun. Today Malaysian are very proud with the existence of Putrajaya. The current Prime Minister,other Cabinet Ministers, government servants and others enjoying their lives working and staying in a very conducive environment. There are 5 entrance (known as pintu 1 – 5). To my observation only 3 entrance completed.
    The progress of completing Putrajaya rather slow. The present government should continually speed up to complete the whole sector of Putrajaya. As Malaysian we are very proud of you Tun. You are a proven leader by example. Unfortunately in many ways you were disregard by the present leader of UMNO and Barisan Nasional. I believe majority citizen of Malaysia would like you to come back in politic and render your service to rectify and make good whatever destruction that have been made (purposely or without ignorance) by the present leader. Putrajaya has to be fully develop in near future.
    Tq. Have a nice day and Selamat Berpuasa Honorable Tun.

  43. Dear Tun,
    Anwar claims he has more than 31 MPs ready to crossover to form the government and want to meet AAB.
    What’s your opinion Tun ? From your insider source, how true is this?

  44. G’ day Tun,
    Just wondering on whether I’ve been over-sensitive on Tun’s last statement ‘But I hope the powers that be will read this snippet on Putrajaya’…
    Selamat berbuka puasa Tun.
    Best regards,

  45. salam
    saya kagum dengan keindahan putrajaya.. tapi memang macam tak berapa nak siap lagi.. orang pun tak ramai sangat.. walaupun mencapai status sebuah wilayah persekutuan.. tak tahu la apa lagi yang nak dibuat.. kalo la pemerintah tak cuba untuk memajukan putrajaya dengan menarik ramai orang, macam mana la ia nak meriah.. pak lah buat apa tak tahu lah.. putrajaya was indeed very nice… it was a very brave and intelligent idea to have putrajaya.. but as you said, apa fungsinya kalo malam je, sunyi sepi, tak macam bandar2 lain.. mungkin putrajaya masih muda, tapi kalo takder usaha nak majukan putrajaya, sampai 100 or 200 tahun lagipun, ia tetap tak kan maju..

  46. Ayahnda Tun
    PUTRAJAYA memang cantik dan bersih..Perlu mengadakan banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yang boleh menarik pelancung..Pusat pentadbiran Kerajaan….Proud to talk about PUTRAJAYA with foreign friends..
    Selamat berbuka Ayahnda TUn

  47. Salam Tun Mahathir,
    Pelbagai reaksi, coretan, pujian, kritikan atau tohmahan kpd pak lah dan pemimpin yg lain. Saya nak kepastian drpd Tun tentang peralihan kuasa. Ada yang mengatakan :
    1) Pak Lah memang nak berundur, tapi dia nak pastikan segala perancangan RMK 9/10 berjalan ngan baik
    2) Dia nak tinggalkan pemerintahan negara dlm keadaan politik dan ekonomi stabil. rakyat hidup dlm sejahtera aman damai.
    3) Ada juga yg membuat andaian bahawa memang la semua anak, menantu, besan, sedara mara dah kaya, tapi skrg ni dok fokus kat anak tiri plak bagi jadi kaya.
    *Apabila dah selesai semua, step down la..
    Pak Lah bukannya nak fikir sangat bab islam, melayu, malaysia. Rakyat camana? Betul ke dgn apa yg saya dengar ni Tun?

  48. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Semoga sihat sejahtera Tun sekeluarga. Persoalan yang timbul, mana lagi projek Wawasan 2020? Dimanakah kesinambungan Projek Wawasan 2020 yang Tun bawa? Kesinambungan Wawasan 2020 dari pimpinan Tun ke DSAAB hanya tinggal sebutan sahaja!! Janji sahaja ditabur bukan projek yang dilaksanakan!!
    Putrajaya sudah terkenal di merata dunia tapi sekarang ianya bagaikan sudah mati…tiada bernyawa di malam hari! Sunyi sepi! Putrajaya perlukan kesinambungan dan teruskan pembangunan semula! Putrajaya jangan jadi bandar mati…seperti tiada kehidupan di malam hari. Bukan sahaja Cahaya lampu yang kita mahu, tapi suasana yang menceriakan, meriah di waktu malam…..
    Dimana silapnya??? Pihak Pentadbiran atau pemimpinnya? Atau Perancangannya?
    Sekian,

  49. Assalamualaikum yang amat dihormati Tun,
    Putrajaya is a great vision. No, it is not a failure. Yes, many had been sceptic about it initially including me. But, i failed to see the vision behind it, especially when i have never been to Putrajaya back then. But i am glad that we have such a visionary leader.
    I have been working here for almost five years and have already been residing here. As a visionary man (though you are no more in government, you are still a great leader as you were, in my eyes), you have great expectations of Putrajaya. I agree that there are not much of night activities, except the packed mamak restaurants in Precinct 8 and Alamanda. But what really important is the parking space. I hope that the LRT project will be revived as i believe that was the initial plan.
    Tun,please dont apologize for Putrajaya. It was and is a great idea. It just need improvement. I thank you for Putrajaya and many more.
    As a show of my utmost respect to you my dearest Tun, i decided not to be anonymous by using my realname.
    Tun, though you have been and still being criticised but you have contributed a lot to the nation. Hanya Allah sahaja yang dapat membalasnya.
    Thank you Tun.

  50. Salam Ybg. Tun,
    Alhamdulillah tiada kerajaan baru wujud hari ini 16 sept. 2008 seperti yang dicanangkan oleh Dato’ seri Anwar Ibrahim. Mudah-mudahan Allah SWT beri petunjuk agar beliau muhasabah diri, sedarlah bahawa yang dicita-citakan oleh beliau tidak menjadi kenyataan. Saya yakin Tuhan maha adil bukan seperti PKR yang diagung-agungkan oleh Dato’ seri Anwar Ibrahim. Esok 17 sept. 2008 Insyuaallah Ybg. Tun akan kembali semula ke pangkuan UMNO. Khidmat bakti Tun amat-amat diperlukan bagi membantu mengembalikan kegemilangan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional.
    Kepimpinan yang ada (UMNO dan Barisan Nasional) dilihat tidak begitu berupaya mengreformasikan UMNO dan Barisan Nasional dalam jangka masa terdekat. Masih lagi tidak kelihatan jelas dari segi perancangan untuk memulihkan keadaan parti yang berada dalam caca marba serta dujani dengan berbagai masalah yang tiada jelas jalan penyelesainnya.
    Kepimpinan harus sedar kemahuan rakyat yang memberikan isyarat bahawa pucuk kepimpinan yang ada dilihat begitu lemah dan tidak ada kekuatan tersendiri. Pembangkan memanipulasikan keadaan ini. UMNO dan Barisan Nasional perlu berubah (to reform) secara derastik, jika tidak majoriti rakyat akan menolaknya.
    Ybg. Tun pemimpin terkemuka yang mempunyai visi dan misi yang sukar disaingi, telah membawa Malaysia ke satu arah kegemilangan. Ini haruslah dipelihara dan dipertingkatkan oleh kepimpinan hari ini.
    Sekian, selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa Ybg. Tun.

  51. Yg Bhg Tun,
    Your idea of building Putrajaya was splendid however it backfires bcoz the present govt couldn’t care less about maintaining it, not to mention enhancing it. What a sad situation. Probably the present govt is trying to relocate the administration back to KL? And perhaps bcoz KL traffics are becoming more congested hence they pulled the handbrake on the plan…wallahua’lam

  52. Tun,
    1)You have been very quiet on your application to rejoin the UMNO?Please comment and justify as to why you want to join now?
    2)You are also quiet on the recent arrests via the use of ISA?Your comment please.

  53. Putrajaya sememangya menjadi mercu tanda kecemerlangan negara di bawah kepimpinan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.Idea2 yang dilahirkan Tun sentiasa luarbiasa.Tetapi kini Putrajaya semakin hilang serinya….Tiada Projek baru di bina di Putrajaya hanya menunggu siapnyer Masjid Baru yang diberi nama Masjid Besi.Tetapi disini saya ingin mengingatkan bahawa adalah tidak adil jika kita hanya menyalahkan Perbadanan Putrajaya sahaja diatas segala permasalahan di Putrajaya.Perbadanan Putrajaya sebagai Pbt di putrajaya adalah tertakluk dibawah kuasa Kementerian Wilayah, jesteru itu segala perancangan pembangunan haruslah di rujuk kepada kementerian dan jika ianya berskala besar pastinya akan terpaksa juga di bawa ke mesyuarat kabinet….jadi pemerintah negara yang akan memutuskan setiap keputusan yang melibatkan sebarang projek di putrajaya.Adalah diharapkan Tun akan dapat memanjangkan Idea Bernas Tun ini ke surat2 khabar agar dapat dibaca dan dikaji pihak pentadbiran negara dan Putrajaya amnya.Adalah malang jika bandar yang indah ini terus diabaikan tanpa di jaga sepenuhnya……saya juga ingin mencadangkan agar sebuah taman tema air ala sunway lagoon di bina di putrajaya…..selesai bermandi manda bersama keluarga boleh juga kita menikmati bangunan2 indah di sana.

  54. Salam YABhg Tun
    Khabar terkini dari sumber yang boleh di percayai dari Negeri Di Bawah Bayu….. Demi Putrajaya dan memastikan DSAI berjaya menduduki kerusi PM, parti SAAP akan mengistiharkan keluar dari BN esok 17hb September 2008 dan berkemungkinan menyertai Pakatan Rakyat. Alasan yang diberi kononnya SAPP dah bosan menunggu ‘di gantung tak bertali ‘ oleh Majlis Tertinggi BN mengenai status parti tersebut setelah mencetuskan polimik ‘undi tidak percaya’ terhadap kepimpinan Dato Abdullah Badawi.Parti SAPP juga berharap tindakannya akan menjadi permulaan ‘Domino Effect’ bagi lebih ramai lagi MP2 BN keluar menyertai Pakatan Rakyat bagi membentuk kerajaan Malaysia Era Baru dengan Lanskap Politik berlandaskan keadilan universal di mana tidak ada lagi perbezaan Hak bagi Bumiputera dan bukan-Bumiputera di Malaysia buat selama-lamanya……

  55. on dato’ zaid nih…. what so great about him that paklah nak pujuk2 plak??? ….dah nak blah…blah jer lah…nak merajuk plak
    …kalu bley, bwk paklah skali…!!
    this country didn’t receive any significant contribution from latok zaid…. staying out of the picture can be the first if he wants to..!!
    kalu paklah terima dia balik, patut dato’ seri hamid albar plak letak jawatan…sah2 dah pilih kasih…kemudian berduyun2 menteri & timbalan letak jawatan…paklah akan hilang kuasa….

  56. SALAM SEJAHTERA TUN.
    TUN IDEA TUN MEMANG BAGUS TAPI IDEA POK LEH LAGI BAGUS SEBAB DIA TANAM SAYUR-SAYURAN DI PUTRAJAYA.DENGAR CERITA POK LEH NAK BUAT PASAR TANI TERBESAR DI MALAYSIA IAITU DI PUTRAJAYA JUGA.BAGUSKAN IDEA POK LEH.
    LAWAK SUNGGUHKAN TUN MAT BORIA P.PINANG NI. HAI!MALAYSIA,MALAYSIA MALANGNYA DAPAT PM MACAM NI.MACAM MANA TUN BOLEH PILIH DIA JADI PM.BUKAN NAK SALAHKAN TUN OKAY, MUNGKIN TAKDIR DARI TUHAN ,BERSABAR AJE LAH.POK LEH,POK LEH,PAK LAHAP,PAK TURUT,PAK TURUT.

  57. Tun,
    w/p pd awal putrajaya nak dilaksanakan,byk komen negative diterima terutama drp media barat maupun media tempatan yg berhaluan ‘kiri’.
    my personal opinion, my personal gratitude to you bcos ‘less’ traffic in Kuala lumpur. Betul tu, kat putrajaya agak lesu berbanding KL,selain alamanda shopping complex,kita org selalu divert ke kajang/bangi untuk makan2…no choice. selain tempat pusat pejabat2kerajaan, elok dijadikan bandar ‘universiti’ sebab jauh lebih aman drp KL/PJ/SBG/S.ALAM .
    nak tambah sikit on zaid’s resignation today…eloklah ,drp awal kecoh,cari judges yg di buang,bayar lagi etc..macam2 komennya yg tak sehaluan dengan kerajaan.
    on RPK,teresa kok,wartwan sinchew kena ISA..sorry to say, they deserve it..! esp. RPK & teresa yg ada unsur2 menghina ugama islam.
    tafsir al quran jelas mengatakan kita (org islam) boleh berbaik2 dgn apa2 bangsa & ugama pun tapi bila dah mrk menentang ugama islam,ugama hakiki,maka bertindak lah.
    Dan apa khabar DSAI on bentuk k’jaan baru hari ini..? buat kerajaan langit macam ayah pin dah ler. apa lagi temberang dia,masa kena kejar polis dlm awal laporan liwat julai lalu,kata 4 org Menteri nak join PR,pah tu 16 MPs nak join,16/9 ,bentuk k’jan baru…apa-apalah labu,yg heran nya, DSAinya ramai penyokong ‘hardcore’ yg kuat bersorak dgn apa pun di umumnya w/p tak masuk akal..!! dahlah dia kemaruk nak jadi PM,penyokong ‘hardcore’ ni pulak, kemaruk anwar ibrahim …!
    last but not least,
    saya cintakan ugama ,negara,bangsa saya. DAN saya berharap agar BN terus menerajui Malaysia kerana BN saja yg ‘fit’ in this multiracial country. The rest are more ‘extreme’& rubbish .

  58. Dear Tun and family. Putra Jaya is a beautiful, well planned and organised city in Malaysia if not in the whole of Asia itself. You started it and it should have been further developed by your successor. But sad to say nothing was done to improve it and Putra Jaya has remained as it was when you left. Just imagine if you have not thought of creating Putra Jaya, the present PM would still stay at the Sri Perdana but now he is enjoying the fruit of your labour. I believed you must have had sleepless nights thinking and planning about building Putra jaya, but your successor just cannot think on how to further develop it. Never mind Tun, people will always remember that you are the one that created it come what may, whether Anwar takes over or Lim Kit Siang or whoever is the next PM, Putra Jaya is always be synonymous with you. Nobody can take it away from you. Cheers! Sir and may you have long life.

  59. Hello Tun,
    Greetings, I can clearly see the pain in you when you see the city you built has not been further developed according to your visions and the disappointments of knowing that you are unable to do anything about it; yet be rest assured that Putrajaya is a great city.
    We know that the city was not built for its beauty and marvelous landscapes alone but much more than that; it was buit for the inhabitation of the people.
    If you are crying for a city than we Malaysians are crying for a nation that is losing its beauty of a cosmopolitan people. We are in the same boat Tun, we too can only look on helplessly as the fabric of unity is being shredded by irresponsbile politicians.
    It is not the bright lights of present day ideology that can brighten the dark spot of racism in this nation nor the darkened minds of discriming politicians.
    You brought in latest designs and technologies to Putrajay but yet when in comes to the nations politics, you want us to use the kerosene lamp.
    No offence meant, just a thought.
    Pleasure to interact at your site.

  60. I was at the mercu tanda a couple of months back and I am saddened to see the place is almost “abandoned” the waterfalls and fountains have stopped functioning,some of the tiles are peeling off. Such a sorry state.
    Putrajaya cud be a lively place if only the ERL [asses thru the Boulevard and this would encourage the international transit passengers who has a couple of hours to spare to stop by. Some time I wonder why on earh is the ERL station is sited at the current place and makes it so inconvenient for visitors to make a connection to the Boulevard. Maybe YAB Tun could justify that.

  63. Dear Tun,
    I live in Putrajaya and have been living here for the past 8 yrs. Actually, I find Putrajaya to be good enough as it is. The whole city is well planned and I feel there is no need to have entertainment at the boulevard. The Pasar Tani that we have every week is good enough. As a resident, I know for a fact that ppl here don’t want 2 go all the way to the boulevard for entertainment.The other precincts are fully equipped especially with the opening of more outlets at precinct 15. We should just keep it as it is. The occasional fireworks and all is a good add, but it’s not necessary to make entertainment a daily affair at the boulevard.
    p/s: I never got to tell you how much I love your Perdana Leadership Foundation. I was there during the opening(represented my school) and I went there to do some research after. It’s great!

  64. Dear Tun
    Even my secondary school going daughter knew no-one in their right mind would live or visit Putra-Jaya in the near future.
    Her simple analysis:
    Where there is no people around, there is zero creativity.
    With all yr world class advisors, planners n consultants then, how on earth it turn out this way.
    Another wasted opportunities, wasted time n tax payer monies.

  65. salam Tun,
    Make no mistake,Putrajaya is a national Landmark.
    Yes it is dull at night.
    Yes it could be maintained better.
    BUT IT IS NOT A WHITE ELEPHANT!
    to B.E.E.R.,
    IT IS NOT ANGKOR WAT!
    Do not try to paint a different picture of Putrajaya.Every Malaysian citizen should be proud of our world famous landmark.
    Wassallam

  66. Tun dan semua warga bloggers,
    Ada kesempatan malam tadi sesudah terawih untuk berkunjung ke putrajaya.Lepas pintu gerbang…segalanya nampak tersusun dan gah sekali…sayangnya Tun betul…macam pekan mati.KOSONG. Lalu pula di depan Seri Satria…macam pesta lampu yang tiada pemgunjung…mungkin pasal malam nie ader majlis berbuka puasa…
    1) Komen saya ini mungkin akan di ban…tapi siapa yang mahu tinggal dikawasan yang rata2 penduduknya adalah orang melayu yang menjadi kakitangan kerajaan! Ini hakikat yang kita tak boleh nak elak…
    Kerja kerajaan+alamat rumah yang berakhir dengan putrajaya = attitude!
    2) takde langsung hentian tempat makan ketika malam tiba…mungkin putrajaya hanya sesuai untuk DOME, Starbuck atau CoffeeBean….fikir2 balik…kedai mamak mungkin akan mencacatkan pandangan…
    3) Sekadar berfikir….berapalah agaknya elektrik yang terbuang di putrajaya…menerangikegelapan malam untuk siapa entah…kerana rasanya tiada sebab untuk ke situ pada malam hari….

  67. Dear Tun ,
    Sorry for of topic again. It’s again regarding ISA .
    To Mr Ir.Shayrizan
    I agreed that ISA should exist but the abuse of the provision is the real problem of it. The police or the government here have failed to utilised this provision wisely. On the 3 person arrested , namely:
    1 ) Tan , the reporter…. This is totally absurd.Reason given was to protect her as she is under threat. If protection is the reason , shall she be locked up and treated as a prisoner? Using ISA to arrest her is outright stupid on the part of the goverment.
    2 ) Teresa Kok , as Mr Shayrizan suggest , she have cross the line. However , I do have reservation on this as there is NO concrete proof for her allegation. Regarding the azan , even the two Mosque involved have denied her involvement in it.This issue was originated from Dato Khir Toyo in his blog. If this was the case , the police should interogate Khir Toyo first or also arrest him under ISA for making sensitive allegation in his blog. If ISA can arrest Raja Petra Kamarudin as his article are deemed slanderous and defamation , then the same should be applied to Dato Khir Toyo. Why the double standard? UMNO related?
    As for the Jawi , there is also no proof that Teresa objected to it but she just gave suggestion that chinese and indian word to be included as well. This issue was twisted and politicised again by irresponsible politician as not supporting and dissing Jawi which was not in the first case.
    As for the JAIS issue , the same applied . Any proof ? Suprisingly in Malaysia , if an current Goverment Member made an allegation against an Opposition Member , it is deemed to be true.If the opposite to have happen , the one who made the allegation will be interogated . Analyse this objectively on the below case and you will understand what I said.
    1 ) Saiful allegation against Anwar.( Anwar was charged )
    2 ) Khir Toyo against Teresa Kok.( Teresa was detained )
    3 ) Bala against Najib and ( Bala gone missing after doing a 100% u turn on the allegation…. gods know where he is now?
    4 ) RPK against Pn Rosmah.( Rpk detained )
    5 ) Reporter Tan on Ahmad Ismail. ( Reporter detained under ISA but then the reason given is for protection… who would believe it ? )
    6 ) Dr Osman declaration — no effect as though nothing is valid.
    3 ) RPK ISA detention – reason for ridiculing islam or whatever reason? I can’t comment as I am no expert in Islamic field and let those who are Islam to judge.
    All this happen as a result of the weak goverment lead by AAB.
    A very concerned Malaysian citizen.
    ” ham tan chiu yan !”

  68. SALAM TUN..

    KOMEN SIKIT TUN…

  69. Salam Tun….
    Saya suka bandar Putrajaya. Tak perlu nak samakan dgn hiruk pikuk di bandar KL. Putrajaya is a nice place for recreation for families etc. and the great builidings are good tourist attractions.
    We just need to fill it with activities thru out the year…like the fireworks competition and others, people from all walks of life will come and give life to the city.
    It is a great idea to manage the traffic chaos already suffocating in KL but somehow it’s still happening.
    > kalau tak salah saya , lots of govt agencies are moving out from Putrajaya and occupying offices in KL – for example KWAP (Kump. Wang Persaraan) – use to be located in MOF building in Putrajaya but now it has been relocated in KL @ Menara Tun Razak..!!
    > this trend if continues will make Putrajaya a ghost city someday.
    Looks like the present govt not appreciating enough the infrastructure built surrounding Putrajaya…not mentionig the source of the money is from the people…
    Putrajaya shud be preserved and maintained so it will last for another 100 years…

  70. SALAM TUN..
    ya!PUTRAJAYA memang hebat..
    tapi TUN lagi hebat hebat kerana membangunkan PUTRAJAYA..
    pembangunan demi pembangunan dapat kita rasai semasa era TUN.
    nama PUTRAJAYA pun sudah menjadi 1 kebanggaan buat kami RAKYAT MALAYSIA..
    sekurang2nya terselit juga nama tokoh berjasa TUNKU PUTRA ALHAJ dalam pembangunan negara…
    CUKUP DULU TENTANG PUTRAJAYA…
    ____________________________________________________________________
    TUN..
    nak kongsi sikit tentang isu ‘PANASZ’.
    PERALIHAN KUASA..
    hari ni baca utusan online..
    YB PAK LAH kata PERALIHAN KUASA 2010 KEKAL…
    saya nak komen sikit la..YB pak lah boleh kata kekal..
    TAPI perlu ingat AHLI UMNO boleh buatnya menjadi TIDAK KEKAL..
    SO KEPADA YB2,DATOK2,DATIN2,AHLI2 UMNO ..BUATLA KEPUTUSAN YANG BIJAK,BIJAK,BIJAK..
    MULAI SEKARANG JANGAN TAKUT DAN SEGAN LAGI..
    SUARAKAN MATA HATI ANDA…
    BUAT MCM YB MUHYIDDIN YASSIN BUAT..(BERANI)BARU KAMI(RAKYAT) NAK SOKONG..
    X SALAH MENGGANTIKAN TOKOH YANG LEBIH BERANI N LAYAK..
    PUTERI BALING

  71. Salam Tun,
    Saya tak setuju dgn pendapat JURUBLOG (komen pertama) yang menyatakan Pemimpin sekarang memang hendak jadikan Putrajaya “dull”.. saya rasa beliau tidak sebijak itu untuk menjadikan putrajaya “dull”. Saya rasa memang beliau tak tahu nak buat apa degan putrajaya.. hehehhee..
    Itu beza orang banyak membaca dengan orang tak tahu buat kerja. Tun tahu kenapa nak buat cam tu, beliau pula tak tahu kenapa jadi macam tu.
    so.. LU PIKIR LA SENDIRI..
    PS: Takut UMNO hilang kuasa disebabkan pemimpin tak gheti bahasa… Takut Putrajaya MATI sebab orang yang mengurus tak reti-reti.

  72. Assalammualaikum Tun,
    Saya sokong penuh perjuangan Tun dulu kini dan selamanya. Mudah-mudahan Umno dapat diselamatkan dari kehancuran.
    wassalam

  73. assalamualaikum Tun..
    saya membesar di era pemerintahan Tun,dan saya cukup bangga dengan langkah,usaha,pemikiran yang Tun sumbangkan kepada negara.hingga ke hari ini saya masih dapat menikmatinya..tetapi apabila Tun mengumumkan peletakan jawatan,saya cukup sebak.tetapi kini pucuk pemerintahan pada pak lah.bermacam masalah timbul,dan semakin ramai yag menghentam pucuk pimpinan beliau.bagi saya pak lah terlalu berlembut dan murah hati,memberi itu dan ini. Tun saya berharap Tun lakukan sesuatu untuk negara,bangsa,agama

    ALFATIHAH, AMIN.

  75. Salam Buat Tun Yang Saya Kagumi,
    Ketemu lagi dalam maya ini,
    biar tanpa wajah dan suara,
    Namun auramu bak sebutir padi nan cuma,
    Bersimpuh di belikatku serapatnya ada.
    **********
    Ceritera Bandar Putrajaya
    Bandar Putrajaya yang kubangga
    Kehebatan dan kecanggihannya puas ku jaja
    Ke minda fikir secukupnya ada
    Tatapan anak bangsaku yang masih jaga.
    Cuma masih bersisa di atas sana
    Ramai si polan yang mamai ternganga-nganga
    Di bandar ini mahunya ku buat apa
    Tangan-tangan rakus sepunahnya pula
    Meranggah indah dan seni melata.
    Umpama kera diberi bunga
    Mereka tak sedar semakin alpa
    Dulunya yang membina ilhamnya siapa
    Buah tangan Tun yang tiada taranya.
    Pada pemimpin sedarlah bersayugia
    Putraya ini perlu dipulihara
    Murnikanlah ciptaan yang masih ada
    Ukirlah persada itu tanpa dicela
    Tapi bilakah pamitan ini akan dikira
    Adakah pemimpin nak buat kerja
    Asyik kalut kusut sepanjang masa
    Anak buah di bawah bercempera beradu domba
    Takut kalu nanti masa kan tiba
    Anak bangsa ku ribut bertanya
    ….Putrajaya itu ada di mana, ya?
    ****************
    Moga Tun dapat kembali tersenyum bangga
    Mudah-mudahan ada yang sudi meneruskan usaha
    Membangkitkan kembali nafas Tun di Putrajaya.

  76. salam Tun,
    Just want to share with you and everyone that when I took a Civil Engineering First Year Seminar course at Pennsylvania State Uni 2 years ago, the professor introduced the class with a slide show of Putra Jaya!!! I was really surprised and proud to see malaysian cars and familiar malaysian people on the screen. and my american friends looked at me and smiled.
    the professor went on a trip to Putra Jaya for a bridge conference or something like that.

  77. Tun yang amat dihormati,
    Salam dan Doa semoga Tun berdua diberikan Rahmat dan Kesihatan yang baik dalam meneruskan perjuangan Bangsa.
    Errrr, harini 16hb September … Hari Penubuhan Malaysia.
    Saya ucapkan SALAM Penubuhan Malaysia kepada Tun, walaupun ianya agak “kurang menyenangkan” bagi saya mengucapkannya kerana Hari Penubuhan Malaysia ni seolah-olah jadi satu trademark baru politik sebuah parti penipu a.k.a Parti Kelentonng Rakyat. Depa ni, Hari Penubuhan Malaysia pun depa nak cuba kaitkan dengan berpolitik … Haru biru betoi ….
    Apapun, jika benar besok 17hb Sepetember merupakan hari Tun menghantar borang keahlian UMNO untuk kembali kepada parti, SAYA UCAPKAN SELAMAT KEMBALI KEPADA PARTI UMNO, KAMI AKAR UMBI AMAT-AMAT MEMERLUKAN TUN DI DALAM PARTI BERSAMA KAMI! SEMOGA ALLAH MEMBERKATI SEGALA USAHA TUN DAN KITA SEMUA … DEMI ALIF, BAA dan TAA …..
    Tun,
    Sebuah ilham yang cantik menghasilkan sebuah binaan yang megah seperti Putrajaya, tidaklah Tun perlu merasa bersalah. Kami semua rakyat Malaysia mengagumi idea Tun tersebut!
    Kami menghargai atas segala ilham Tun untuk menampakkan Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang disegani setanding dengan negara-negara lain dengan adanya beberapa mercutanda yang hebat seperti Putrajaya.
    Cuma ianya patut diperelokkan lagi oleh Kerajaan untuk menarik lebih ramai pengunjung mengunjunginya tidak kira masa, siang ataupun malam. Sememangnya kami sedia maklum bahawa jika Tun masih di dalam Kerajaan, pastinya Tun akan begitu banyak idea untuk menambah rasa seronok orang ramai untuk datang ke Putrajaya. Tapi, oleh kerana kami sekarang sedang dipimpin oleh seorang yang agak lemah otaknya untuk berfikir, maka inilah jadinya ….
    Terima kasih Tun kerana membangunkan Malaysia.
    Salam hormat dan sayang untuk Tun berdua dan keluarga.
    Wassalam!
    BERANI BERUBAH !

  78. Assalamualaikum
    Dear Honorable Tun
    I am impressed with the way Putrajaya was modeled and developed. You are undeniably a great visionary. Can vouch for you that I have seen a similarly laid-out government administration center in one of the ASEAN countries. More will follow, I am very sure!
    Your thoughts of having people all-over Putrajaya after business hours will spur interaction but also the economy is admirable. Many subscribe to that idea but facilities must start to be rolled-out.
    Lets hope all the political bickering will stop soon and your visions will be realized soon.
    Insyallah

  79. salam tun.
    u are right.putrajaya at nite is dull n lifeless.
    never mind,people make mistakes.i think the putrajaya have quite a high maintenance but nevertheless it’s brilliant to have a well-plan goverment city like Putrjaya.
    selamat b’puasa evryone!!

  80. Salam Sejahtera Tun,
    La ni .. depa mana ada masa nak pikiaq tu semua..!! Masing2 dok sibuk jaga hal masing2 serta kemoloq masing2… yang bagi depa, itu lagi penting.
    Kan dok kata dah dulu…Kerajaan la ni…kerajaan auto-pilot/ remote-control..!!
    Jadi..bila ada sikit sebanyak ‘malfuntion’ jadi ‘hay wire’..lah!!
    Nak tunggu tengok macam mana Pak Lah nak bertahan sampai 2010….kerana laa ni pun …dia dah lelah semacam..!!
    Dok main tekan butang remote-contol nya..yang butang ni tak jalan, ada butang terjabut-lari, dan banyak butang yang tak berfungsi…tekan lah.. macam mana pun dok macam tu jugak..!!
    Road-Map 2010 jauh lagi…auto-pilot remote-control dah banyak rosak…boleh sampai ka..?
    Sekian wassalam dan Selamat beribadah di bulan Ramadhan ini.

  81. Tun,
    Who in the first place want to stay near Govt. offices? Secondly with all the restriction, how night time activities can be achieved? Anyway we have Kuala Lumpur and businessmen are not stupid to open shops there unless there are more residences.
    Putrajaya is indeed a very beautiful and well plan as a Govt. centre and it was never marketed as a nigth-time activities area. The image of Putrajaya is dull and official. Mismatch Branding

  82. I had visitors from Europe and the United States who came here on short business trips. When they asked me to bring them to interesting places around the KL area, Putrajaya administrative centre and KLCC were top on the list. Where else to bring them to? For those who love to try the Malaysian food, of course the choices are aplenty. Entertainment? Well, nothing here can be compared to entertainment places in Bangkok, Bali, Phuket. Shopping? No… they would rather shop at their factory outlets… Actually, there’s nothing much to see here in KL. Luckily we have the beautiful Putrajaya to show. And the KLCC which was once the world’s tallest building. You are right, make the Putrajaya lively especially at night.

  83. Akum dear tun, saya duk di Kajang selalu jua ke Putrajaya dgn family ke sana pada waktu mlm utk solat isyak dimasjid sana.Yalah memang waktu mlm agak sunyi dan bangunan kerajaan tertutup hanya mat guard yg ada jaga pintu masauk.Cuba tengok bukit bintang atau petaling street…aktif tiap-tiap mlm.Sesuatu perlu dilakukan olih pihak Perbandaran Putrajaya dan discuss dgn Menteri Pelancungan as to how… Buat Putrajaya hidup pada waktu malam…Salam Tun

  84. Tun,
    Putrajaya is TDM brainchild for the Goverment. Putra Jaya or in english is Sucess Prince in remembrance to our hounourable late & our 1st PM. Tun till now most of the efforts to further improved, all the while in a very positive mode for nation buildings, exceptionally fast in correcting / critising those that are not right and those wrong doers.TDM is our former PM that bring glory for Malaysia, respected by the world leaders,especially from the Muslim countries.TDM is a fighter and has a very strong determination to not only plan, but also plans well.TDM loves for Malaysia, UMNO & BN is unquestionable, and has been proven during TDM Premiership till presently.Tun with the resignation of AAB hopefully soon, please carry on with your writing for us rakyat to get direct contact with Tun. Most importantly please take care of Tun health. Moga di berikan kekuatan dan kesejahteraan sentiasa dari Allah bagi menjalankan ibadah puasa. drp. Azif Ishak.Tun no pendaftaran UMNO baru dah dapat? Agaknya no Pendaftaran Tun mungkin melebihi angka 0368008.Hidup Tun, Hidup UMNO,Hidup BN.

  85. TUN YANG DIKASIHI,
    Walaupun TUN berasa bersalah, kini, atas apa yang telah TUN laksanakan sebenarnya satu NIKMAT kepada kami. Cuma nikmat ini hanya kami sedari selepas TUN tidak lagi menjadi PM.
    Sesuatu yang baik itu hanya dirasai apabila sudah tiada, begitulah TUN. Tapi Pak Lah lain, dalam dia dok ada pun rasanya macam tak ada. Kalau TAK ADA langsung kan lebih AFDAL.
    Graf UMNO dan perkembangan serta pembangunan Malaysia mencacak naik sedari selepas MERDEKA sehinggalah ke era TUN. Tapi ianya merudum dengan hebat tut-tut Pak LAH menerajui kepimpinan negara.
    Mungkin TUN juga akan berasa bersalah melihatkan kelaku PakLah, kerana TUN lah yang memilihnya sebagai pengganti. Tapi TUN percayalah MIMPI NGERI ini pasti akan berakhir dan kebenaran pasti menyinar. HARAPAN kami ialah agar TUN sentiasa bersama kami membimbing dan menegur kami moga-moga tiada berlaku lagi kesilapan besar yang akan merugikan Melayu, rakyat dan negara yang tercinta ini.

  86. i LOVE putrajaya especially at nights. because it so placid and beautiful with the building beautifully lighted. putrajaya is also the favorite place for photography students like me.
    not everyone loves to live in a happening and noisy place. sometimes, quiet is just nice.
    it is not dead, if u see closely, theres some mamaks around and a lot fo ppl chilling. its just hidden!
    im going to get married and live in putrajaya!!!

  87. Dear Tun,
    I was disappointed when Putrajaya was revealed for the 1st time.”Not another Brasilia.”
    We had the opportunity to apply the knowledges from our local urban experience (Kl,PJ,Shah Alam etc) yet it seems that Putrajaya have repeated the formula for urban disasters.
    Again and again we never prioritize permanent public transportation infrastructures (ie. tram,train,LRT) despite this is what we really need in order for a city to grow and prosper.
    It seems that we only interested in creating a complex networks of roads and highways, that in the end will only create traffic congestions. This,my dear Tun, is among the contributor for inefficient energy usage,stress and road accidents.
    When I was in Melbourne, I can live without a car. Its only an accessory, not a necessity. Yet in Malaysia, you almost cannot go anywhere without a personal vehicle. A car (or a bike) is a must.
    Insya Allah, I will use my knowledge and experience to improve and upgrade the cities of Malaysia.

  88. Salam buat Tun dan rakan bloggers lain,
    1. Saya tinggal di Putrajaya selama 7 tahun.
    2. Benar Tun yang membangunkan Putrajaya tetapi yang menjalankan pentadbiran terdiri dari JPM dan Perbadanan Putrajaya ( macam DBKL).
    3. No 21 komen Tun tersangat sayu buat saya. Betul Tun, pertindihan pentadbir di Putrajaya menambah kelam kabut lagi Putrajaya. Jika dibenar cafe atau kedai kedai beroperasi Perbadanan akan mengenakan sewa seolah olah warga Putrajaya semua penduduknya orang kaya. Contoh , sewa food court di Presint 8 ialah RM 4000. Sudah tentu harga makanan mahal. Yang menanggung harga ialah kami warga Putrajaya. Ini baru food court kalau cafe mungkin RM 8000.00. Siapa nak datang minum teh kalau dah harga secawan RM 5.00 sedangkan kedai mamak baru RM 1.00? Kalau Tun ada dulu,kalau kami mengadu dah tentu diambil perhatian dengan serious,la ni…..
    3. Kalau pengunjung dibenar menaiki boat mengelilingi tasik waktu malam,tuan tuan akan nampak idea Tun melihat dunia tanpa kita keluar negara.Ngapa tak percaya? Cuba dulu….
    4. Untuk Tan Sri Samsuddin President Perbadanan Putrajaya, saya ingin mengesyorkan bahawa Kelab Tasik Putrajaya di tukar nama ke KELAB TASIK TUN DR MAHATHIR sebab nak tukar nama KLIA tak nampak bila nak jadi? Jangan sampai orangnya dah tak ada di dunia baru nak bagi ( maaf Tun bukan niat ) tetapi nak mengingatkan mereka mereka yang ada kuasa supaya kalau nak mengenang budi biarlah tuan punya badan yang menerima.
    5. Atau Tan Sri ada cadangan lain?

  89. Salam to you Sir,
    well i was at putrajaya last sat (13/09/08)to perform terawih, i agree with you sir 100%, at night, putrajaya is like a ghost town, i could only see children playing and running around near to the fountain, as me and my friends were leaving putrajaya for Singapore, both side of the boulevard was like a road to a cemetery, putrajaya? or putrakerja?
    azhari

  90. Salam Tun:
    It has always been the case where when we see things outside there (in other countries), its perfectly beautiful and good. But when we take it back here, we could only see the ugliest part of it.
    Know why? Because we dont copy and implement the whole thing… We want it to be in Malaysian ways…

  91. Salam Tun,
    Opposition has opposed putrajaya since the 1st time it was build…hmmm especially PAS… maybe they saw it….hopefully will not be another gajah putih…like the so called MALAYWOOD some sorts of HOLLYWOOD…no stories? What happened TUN?

  92. That’s explain all the dullness. I’ve been wondering why such a big city is so dull. Well, in my opinion, the city is still underdeveloped. With current goverment, I think it will take at least 10 years before development even to begin. I dont like going to putrajaya at all. Nothing there. Even Alamanda is bored enough to go to. But for young teens, its a good place for racing. Got a lot of big road there.

  93. The anti-establishment groups like Lim Kit Siang, Anwar Ibrahim and to a lesser extent Nik Aziz will be quick to run down any development projects. All they want is to see the rakyat riding camels and drinking water from the wells.
    Remember the Penang Bridge? What did DAP say about it then? And now, the very son of the fiercest critic wants another bridge.
    What about the Proton Project? The same doom sayers are singing a different tune today.
    KLCC, KLIA etc etc oh I am yawning at what the critics are saying.
    And now Putrajaya, a great visionary project but the current government are leaving it to rot because they have been influenced by the anti-establishment groups once again.
    By the way, there is only one major flaw about Putrajaya. The directional sinages are awkwardly placed and badly planned. It makes you go in circles.
    Some one should seriously look at improving the road signs there.

  94. Opening of shops, restaurants, business centres require a good demographic for good market demands. The demographic determines the type of market demands, and that’s what you get at Putrajaya. Imbalance in demographic should be offset by convenient parking spaces (preferably free) and transport such as the LRT so that population from places with different demographics have easy access to the beautiful city.
    Just observe the location of all Jaya Jusco outlets, the most successful shopping centre, and observe the demographics of the surrounding areas. And you know what I mean.

  95. KEPADA YANG MASIH TERCARI2 APA MEGA PROJEK PAKLAH YANG TERLAKSANA JAYANYA
    —> MEWAJIBKAN PEMAKAIAN BAJU BATIK KEPADA KAKITANGAN AWAM PADA SETIAP 1 DAN 15HB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    —>MUNGKIN LPAS NI MEWAJIBKAN MEREKA MEMAKAI LENCANA PAKLAH 😛
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

  96. Putrajaya is deteriorating due to bad and at times no maintenance at all. Each time I visited Putrajaya I will have something to complain. The problem with maintenance in Putrajaya is the lacksaidal attitude of the maintenance team and mananagement. They sub-let the responsibilities to third or fourth parties and the management are on remote control in the comforts of the offices and not hands on. The field engineers were not doing their work such that it was no surprise that landslide occured in one of the precints. I have made several complaints either by filling forms or by e-mail but was asked to fill in another e-forms which were never followed up. I also voluntered to come to Putrajaya to show them exactly what was I complaining about but they never replied.
    First of all, the construction was not done based on the specifications as a result of poor (corrupt) supervision. This was proven by the burts pipes and collapsed ceiling in one of the government buildings.
    Poor design resulted in water ponding in the Masjid Putrajaya courtyard that the waster has to be swept into the water outlets by several employees each time it rains.You can see rubbish in the air ducts at the bottom of the internal main columns in the praying hall. The external timber doors are also rotting.
    The leaking at the Souq and the toilets took months to repair with all the unsightly things being exposed to the tourists visiting the area.The conrete walkways along the lakes at the Souq hve cracks all along its length.
    Repair works were done badly and materials used did not match the existing structure. This is most apparent in repairing cracks on the concrete pavements. The missing tiles at the sides of the stream where you but tickets for the boat tour took months to be repaired and I am afraid the missing tiles and the cracks are results of poor (corrupt) supervison work during construction.
    Dead leaves and construction debris and other rubbish were left lying around at the end of the boulevard leading to the conference centre. The street lightings are corroding and the fixtures have started to be disloged form its supports and nobody in Putrajaya is giving a damn about it.
    The trees are not growing well in Putrajaya due to poor soil and not being watered and fertilised regularly. The sub-contractor is making a lot of money by not doing this and the Putrajaya management is not doing anything about it.
    The Watch Tower at the lakes is also in bad shape with all the wooden parts rotting and broken. This shows that the material used was not as specified and got rotten quickly. The roof of the hut at the bottom of the watch tower was also leaking with a few roof tiles missing. Above all the lakes you saw from the tower were brownish and murky and not blue in colour with a nearby hill slope being cut and left barren with no grass. These are the sceneries we showed to the tourists coming to Putrajaya. The worst thing is after complaining, the Putrajaya management did do anything about it because when I followed up they told me that they did not receive my complain despite having filled in the form! This is bullshit. The management should be kicked in the arse! When I asked back why they are not doing the maintenance, they told me that they have their field engineers and so far they did not report any problem! This is crazy! What are the field engineers doing? Why is the management sitting on their butts and not monitoring that their field engineers are really working?
    Another pathetic thing is the non-supervision of the upgarding work at the site just beside the Watch Tower whereby everthing was entrusted to the contractor.Definitely the contractor will deliver bad workmanship and poor products!
    What about security? It is no wonder that the “car with a bomb” incident managed to enter the parking lot in the Prime Minister’s Office Complex. What about directional signages? This is hopeless too.
    In short the Putrajaya is actually “Putra TAK berjaya”. With the pathetic lot running it, I am not surprised that the late Tan Sri Azizan died early because of the frustrations! By the way, if you observe carefully, the parking lot infront of the main fencing to the Prime Minister Office is sinking!

  97. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    InsyaAllah.The powers that be will read this snippet on Putrajaya.
    Terima kasih Tun.

  98. Tun,
    I agree. I was once looking for a place to stay/buy in Putrajaya but it is a very dull place. I cannot live there.
    Congratulations! This is your 100th posting (or 101st if taking ‘A Weak Government is Not Good For Multi-Racial Malaysia’, which has already been written in Bahasa Melayu).
    Keep on going Sir… 🙂

  99. You go to Canberra is more or less like this Putrajaya.If you want to get happenings go to Sydney,Melbourne or Goldcoast.Likewise if you are in Malaysia,go to Kuala Lumpur,Petaling Jaya.Anyhow,there are improvements now in Putrajaya,mamak eateries,restaurants and some others.Its administration capital,what do u expect.

  100. Akum TUN dan selamat menyambut hari raya yang akan menjelma.
    PUTRAJAYA satu lambang kejayaan negara dan ianya juga memudahkan rakyat untuk berurusan kerana semuanya dah setempat, bukan macam dulu nak kena pi merata tempat.
    Sekarang harga besi dah rm 4000/ ton, dulu cuma rm 1800/ton. Kalau tidak kerana TDM mempunyai vision yang jauh, sampai sekarang tempat tu jadi hutan belantara.Bukan kata bangunan, api letrik pun belum tentu ada.
    Tapi seperti biasa PM yang ada hanya tahu mengguna apa yang ada dan memperhabiskan wang yang ada tapi tidak tahu macamana untuk menghasilkan wang tambahan selain daripada menaikkan harga minyak dan rokok.

  101. Asalamualaikum and Hi,
    This may be off topic, sorry Tun, just can’t help it. Its all about ISA.
    I’m one of the people out there believes that there’s no such thing as total freedom. There must be some kind of control to suppress possible certain people or organization that might jeopardize our country’s stability.
    Yes, I agree that ISA should be imposed on political figures whom are prone to bring up issues on racialism and anti-religion (just we have witness lately). The term freedom has been repetitively misuse by some quarters in the political arena to gain cheap popularity.
    UK has its own version of ISA and so the rest of the world. Even the so called democratic country of United of America has its own version of ISA; namely “Patriotic Act”. Which allows the Government of United States to comprehend any possible ‘terrorist’ suspect without trial and send this unwilling ‘suspect’ to their infamous Guatanamao Bay for further ‘inspection’ (or should I say for further abuse and other unimaginable suffering).
    Gladly, our version of ISA is still a ‘soft or mild’ ones if compared to the dirty methods used by CIA, FBI, KGB and etc-etc when dealing with ISA prisoners.
    As for TERESA KOK she must admit, that she has cross the racial or should I say religious line.
    Like playing American Baseball, she has 3 strikes in a row and deserves to be strike out from the field;
    1) She questioned issues on AZAN (which indirectly shows her insensitivity towards ISLAM as an OFFICIAL religion of MALAYSIA).
    2) She questioned JAIS (again on ISLAM rights).
    3) She questioned the Arabic wordings on the Street Sign Board at Penang (which again and again showing her ‘hatred’ against anything that to do with Islam and Malay indirectly).
    Things would be better for her, if only she complained and resolve the issues in a “closed door” discussion with the relevant parties, without chipping for CHEAP political gain by playing with racial/religious issue. You deserve it Teresa Kok.
    IF I WERE THE POLICE, I WOULD “TAHAN” HER UNTIL FOREVER IN ISA. May you ROT forever in ISA dear Teresa Kok. Like an old Malay saying; “hanya kerana mulut badan binasa”. Dear Current Government, at least I agree on you with this only one issue, the ISA.
    Resistance is Futile.

  102. Yes Malaysia is multiracial,but Malaysia must preserve its roots,its heritage or originality because there is no other Malaysia in this world.China will be proud of its Bird’s Nest Olympics Stadium,Water Cube besides of its Tiananmen Square,Forbidden City or even Great Wall,India with its Taj Mahal and few in Delhis and Mumbai,America with its Statue of Liberty and Paris with its Eiffel Tower and why can’t Putrajaya be built in reflecting the heritage of its roots ? Putrajaya is for all malaysians though.We must learn to respect each other’s view,to understand and accept certain acceptable universal norms.Above all,we must set our priorities right.

  104. Dear Tun,
    We can’t compare Putrajaya with Paris cause the government and people there have the mentality of creating places of their interest. It’s simple… you want your house full of flowers.. u place pots and plants everywhere.. U want ur house cozy and romantic… u put up dimmer lights and light up candles as u like.
    But here, evrything’s upside down.. Eventhough the rakyats like flowers, we will only be shown the seeds planted.. nobody knows what happened after that….. (Some) people in power will say aliens have came down to earth and took the seeds to mars because there are no flowers there.. and (some) local news and papers will say yes it’s true… here are the stories (sometimes with pics) blah blah blah… and true reporters/bloggers will say NO, THAT’S NOT TRUE…. and (some) idiot will say U GO TO KAMUNTING.. BLAH BLAH blah blah…
    And when the rakyat asked WHY KAMUNTING ???… The best part comes… Cheng cheng chennnggggg……….. IT’S NOT ME.. U ASK POLIS…
    In the midst of these there will be people who are more interested in whether the lights in Paris are brighter than the lights in Putrajaya blah blah blahhh…
    Sorry tun.. i do support most of your views… but it’s very sad to look at (some) people in this site who juz want to comment on any issues they see.. no matter whats currently going on in our beloved MALAYSIA…

  105. A/kum,
    Dear Tun,
    In case you remember, I stopped you when you were walking with your wife near PETRONAS Tower 1 lobby. Meeting u made my day!
    I shall ramble on n i imagine you do read the comments sent. Today I m just taking a short break from work because I m so exhausted with preparing so many papers to be presented to so many commmittees at work. So my comments are not particularly bright but I still hope you read it!
    The first time I went to Putrajaya was to the Immigration HQ. I had difficulty finding it because at that time there were no signages pointing to buildings except for some Precinct this precinct that signages. That was quite impractical.
    Anyway, the Immigration HQ’s toilet was so dirty I had to refrain myself from relieving myself after going to all possible toilets in that building. I noticed that the thrash in the toilets were not a result of one of two days accumulation of thrash, but of a continuous lack of maintenance.
    There were contract cleaners within the premise but they were not doing any cleaning. I met one in the lift so I gave a comment that the toilets were so dirty, why was it so bad? The Indon cleaner ( who was also rushing to go back home at 5 pm) said there were just too many people ( I was thinking, oh, c’mon!, obviously the maintenance company was not doing their job at all). And I wondered whose’s minister owned the maintenance company( hmm).
    The Immigration officers, I could not truly generalise as 1 person was really rude, the other was really helpful. The process ( of marrying a foreigner) was really convoluted and unclear ( I wondered if it was done on purpose to keep foreigners out). I was thinking that if Parameswara needed a social pass in Malacca, he would not have founded the state . N if i m not mistaken, his descendants converted to Muslims and voila, the glorious Malaccan Malay sultanate sprang forth!
    Well, ok, a Malay by the constitution is defined as those who are muslims, speak malay and adopt malay culture. So, I suppose that is all right. I read somewhere ( I love history), the malays were recorded as the descendants of people who migrated from the south of Yunnan ( hey, that sounds like some place in China!)
    And, I have no thought provoking point to make except that even the first raja of kelantan ( the seat of the malay culture) was RajKumar, an Indian Prince, whom with his entourage set forth on his elephants to the south of thailand from Kedah ( your state), his descendants later became muslims and once in a while, someone in my family ( yes , i am of some remote royal lineage) will be born with very dark complexion and very “non malay” features. The rest of us merely look like Thais and Japanese( my great grandfather was a japanese shipping merchant who converted to Islam, hmm, possibly a spy albeit a repentant one I hope, who knows!).
    Urgh, got to get back to work, pls dont think I m wasting my time writing this because once in a while I need a break.
    I know u read a lot, have you read the travel writer, Bill Bryson? I would highly recommend his book, the history of almost everything. His other travel books are hilarious but he s very irreverent but entertaining ( but stimes, crude.)
    Gotto go Tun, stay healthy and happy and don’t you worry too much abt things, there is only so much one person can do ( unless you are Karl Marx. His book did a lot of damage, dont you agree?)

  106. Oh…we should be happy for your great vision, is it?
    Why do you spend so huge amount of money to build Putrajaya?
    Why do you spend so huge amount of money to build Petronas twin tower?
    Why do you spend so huge amount of money to do all the silly mega project?
    Yes…you did put Malaysia on the international map because of all this….but do these thing put quality of life in the rakyat? or more specifically do all these put food into the mouth of the rakyat? we the rakyat are struggling to earn a decent pay to live by the day…do you know that?
    Do you know how much better we could be if the huge amount of money was wisely spent on development for better quality of rakyat life?
    We do not need international recognition of Malaysia by doing that. When the quality of the rakyat life is improved(education, health, social, cultural and thinking), it will automatically spread to the whole world to recognize Malaysia.
    You have just stolen my children’s and their children’s future to bulid your own lagacy….

  107. A’kum dan selamat berpuasa untuk Tun Sekeluarga..
    Ni luahan dari hati sy..
    1. saya benci dadah!!
    2. saya benci rasuah!!
    3. saya benci pak lah!!
    p/s : dah menyampah sangat dah tu..
    Selamat berpuasa dan menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri..

  108. Dear Tun,
    Sebagai pegawai kerajaan, saya kerap berurusan di Putrajaya. Memang cukup indah. Malangnya keindahan itu ditutupi dengan rasa bosan untuk mencari parking. Pernah masuk mesyuarat lambat sebab berpusing-pusing cari parking tak dapat. Tapi pegawai kat sana selamba je kata biasalah masuk mesyuarat lambat…
    Tun,
    Pasal Putrajaya ni pada masa baru dibuka dulu, saya teringat ibu saya pernah merajuk bila kakak dia terlebih dahulu dapat pergi tengok Putrajaya dibawa anak-anaknya. Bercerita pula kehebatan dan keindahan yang dilihat. Ibu saya kata anak-anak dia tak macam anak orang lain. Alahai…maklum aje la orang kampung. Jadi kami pun lepaskan hajat ibu nak ke Putrajaya. Sebenarnya Tun, semua rakyat nak melihat dan merasai sendiri kehebatan yang dikagumi oleh orang di dalam dan di luar negara. Siapa yang tidak bangga dengan pencapaian negara kita hasil buah fikiran Tun.
    Orang-orang tua di kampung yang merasai perit jerih kesusahan masa lampau amat menghargai apa yang dinikmati oleh kita pada hari ini. Hanya generasi baru yang lupa diri dan asal usul sahaja yang memandang sepi nikmat kemakmuran tanah bertuah Malaysia ini.
    Tun, tiada apa yang perlu dikesalkan. U have done a very good job. Hanya Allah sahaja yang akan membalasnya. May Allah Bless U Always.

  109. hello again Tun, I dunno if you have time to spare reading alllll these comments and feedbacks..anyway, earlier when i was living in KL i thought putrajaya was a distant place and i heard people talking about the ‘ghost town’. To be fair, I went to tour putrajaya just to see things objectively after it completes. As someone who was academically from town planning, I must say it was a superb city, albeit similarity of concept to Canberra, also a ghost township lol.
    But it was a great decision you made to separate administrative and business district of KL. It wasn’t really a bad decision but it doesnt look right now as it isnt as alive or useful at night as it should.
    On another topic, I have a friend telling me this story about a managing director of a company:
    Board of Directors (stakeholders) : The business is going downhill, the employees are all unhappy , there is no vision or direction. The bottom line is the company is not making money and the morale of the staff is very low and they are all out of control now. You are fired.
    Managing Director (MD of dot dot dot inc): I have a lot of administrative work to do, pls wait until I finish my work.

  110. Salam Tun.
    Tahniah! artikel ini menunjukkan pemikiran Tun amat jauh ke depan.
    Tun bukan sahaja terfikir untuk membina Putrajaya, tapi terus memikir untuk menghidupkan Putrajaya.
    Saya tidak terkejut dengan pendedahan yang tun sampaikan, kerana ketika Tun menjawat PM dahulu pun, tiada ada menteri yang boleh duduk senang. Perkara perkara yang mereka anggap remeh pasti kena dengan Tun.
    Saya bangga dengan Putrajaya, tapi saya tak pernah pergi pada waktu malam. Niat ada kerana waktu siang, terlalu panas untuk bersiar siar.
    Putrajaya bukan sahaja menjadi pusat Pentabiran Kerajaan Pusat tapi juga menjadi pusat tarikan pelancung. Amatlah malang, jika kesempatan ini tidak diambil dengan betul menjana pendapatan rakyat kita sendiri.
    Saya lansung tak heran pemimpin kita tidak sensitif dengan persekitaran tempat kerja mereka. Kerana mereka lebih pentingkan kedudukan dalam parti lebih utama daripada memerah otak untuk kebaikan rakyat.
    Saya tidak salahkan pemimpin kita 100% kerana pemimpin no.1 kita juga tidak berpandangan jauh apatah lagi kawasan persekitaran tempat kerjanya dan juga rumahnya!
    Beliau teramat penat dan letih kerana tidak membuat apa apa kerja yang bermanafaat untuk negara sehari suntuk.. (15 minit pertama berita utama setiap hari tiada berita baru dari PM Malaysia!) Beliau teramat penat sehingga sanggup menyerahkan keputusan PM kepada menantu beliau yang lebih cerdik.
    Beliau nampaknya semakin letih memikul tanggungjawab negara setelah menjadi PM dan lebih letih memikul tanggungjawab sebagai suami kepada isteri baru yang tersayang, terpaksa tidur awal kekadang tertidur semasa mesyuarat penting siangnya.

  111. Salam utk Tun
    Memang betul apa kata2 tun, saya pernah terbaca satu artikel
    jika dicabut semua kaum cina dari bandaraya K.L apa yang ada di kl. cuma perkampungan melayu sahaja
    oleh yang demikian dengan adanye bandar putrajaya ni melambangkan bandar itu milik ketuan melayu. Melayu perlu maju kedepan.
    Syabas tun.

  112. Salam Tun,
    Saya setuju dgn pendapat Tun, Putrajaya nampak gah tapi tiada nyawa..sepi..
    Yep, memang patut pun ada gerai-gerai yang tersusun disekitar pejalan kaki..baru best jalan-jalan makan angin ..tak perlu ke formal restaurant kalau lapar.
    Kalau ada macam pasar seni tu lagi menarik dan coffee house terbuka ala-ala bandar melaka.Ingin saya kongsi cerita dengan Tun, apabila mak dan ayah saya dtg dari kampung..tempat pertama saya bawa ialah Putrajaya, begitu jugak dengan bos-bos saya dari luar negara. Komen diaorang, idea sapa nie? sya jawab Tun Dr.Mahathir dengan bangganya dan tersengeh-sengeh. Sungguh cantik senibinanya , kalau tak salah Tun pun ada curah idea gak kan..
    Saya rasa Tun adalah ikon politik dan kemanusiaan yang disegani.
    Selamat Berpuasa..
    p/s : hanya dpt bergambar dgn potret Tun aje kt Putrajaya, life tak pernah berpeluang…sedihnya

  113. Salam Ayahanda tun sekeluarga…
    apa punya PM la, yg pergi bangunkan iskandariyah tue…
    dia bkn tak tau tp mmg tak tau kat america pun ada iskandariyah ada 4 lg tue…
    p/s letak la jawatan klau b***h….. takkan xde maruah kot..

  114. Sorry to say that I don’t feel anything about plural society in PutraJaya. It may be just another modern middle east city. In many of the middle east islamic cities, we still find the Christian churches and Jewish synogagues. I feel that a Malay kampong would be culturally more attractive and represents Malaysia better compared to Putra Jaya.

  115. Salam Tun Dr Mahatir
    Tahniah saya nak ucapkan kepada Tun kerana tahu mengurus risko dan melabur, Putra
    Jaya adalah satu bandar yang sangat menarik tetapi penduduk kurang.Bercadang
    supaya kita berikan lebih tumpuan untuk menarik penduduk ke sana kerana Kuala
    Lumpur mengalami desakan pembangunan.
    Saya juga berpendapat bahawa penigkatan nilai Bandar seperti Kuala Lumpur
    Putrajaya pada masa akan datang bukan sahaja bergantung kepada peningkatan
    pembinaan infrastucture dan bangunann sahaja, tetapi juga ada kaitan dengan
    unsur kemanusian, keseniaan ,kebudayaaan dan pemeliharaaan alam sekitar.
    Bandar yang bertaraf dunia seperti PARIS terkenal di dunia bukan kerana ia adalah
    metropolinian yang moden sahaja , tetapi bandar itu
    juga mempamirkan unsur budaya ,seni dan alam sekitarnya yang istimewah misal nya
    Muzium LOUVRE yang sungguh menarik. Kita tidak ada MUZIUM LOUVRE di KUALA
    LUMPUR , akan tetapi MUZIUM yang Bernyawa atau LIVELY MUSIUM di KUALA LUMPUR juga
    tidak kurang menarik.Kawasan ZON SENTUL MANJARALA yang terhias dengan budaya
    Melayu,Tamil, Thai,Sikh ,Gujarati dan China benar benar mempamirkan Truly Asia In
    Malaysia, sesuatu keistimewahan yang kita orang Malaysia harus banggakan.
    Juga dibahagian Sungai Gombak yang berdekatan dengan sentul boleh nampak
    burung bangau jalan atas air sungai pada waktu pagi.
    Permandangan yang istimewah ini pasti akan menarik pengunjung luar negara ke
    Kuala Lumpur dan menjanakan pendapatan matawang asing kepada negara kita. Pada
    pendapat saya pengunjung luar negara ke Kuala Lumpur dijangka akan meningkat
    berikutan dengan penyenaraian Georgetown dan Kota Melaka sebagai warisan dunia.
    Sukacita jika pihak tuan dapat memperuntukan kawasan bagi Colonisation project (vertical farming)yang menggunakan kaedah yang diubasuaikan daripada aerospace technogy untuk menanam dalam bangunan yang bertingkat tinggi. Tananaman yang diperolehi boleh membekalkan bekalan makanan bagi 50000 orang penduduk.(Mengikut lapuran Discovery)
    Dengan ini saya berminta kepada pihak DBKL untuk membuat segala gala nya untuk
    memeliharakan kampung kampung tradisional dan memberi pertimbangan kepada project
    vertical farming.Saya berharap cadangan pihak DBKL dapat memberi pertimbangan cadangan saya.Saya sudi memberi bantuan dan maklumat kepada pihak dbkl

  116. Assalam Tun,
    1) I was one of those who believer that Putrajaya such a waste of taxpayers monies. I back to differ.
    2) We need effective and fully functional administrative capital. After long/compact/rush hours at Pusat Kerajaan (previously, Damansara), I more appreciate now the location despite the distance.
    3) Indeed, night time can be so scary as not many people except motorists and I would agree that night activities can be planned more effectively.
    4) But then again, too bad you are not in the picture anymore. It is hoped that people will not blame you for “gajah putih projek”. I do not understand why the current leader unable to riding from your success.
    5) You have developed a concrete platform for the current leader to excel in a very exciting ways but he rather competes with your success. Very pathetic some people can be very unreasonable and never realize what they have in front of their eyes.

  117. Assalammualaikum Tun yang sangat-sangat di hormati.
    Semoga Tun di beri Rahmat Allah.
    Saya orang Melayu Singapura yang selalu mengikuti banyak kisah di Malaysia.Burok baik adalah datang dari persepsi masing-masing.Walau pun begitu banyak yang menjadi teladan dan renungan buat kami di Singapura.
    Kami juga selalu melancong ke Malaysia bukan saja kerana ingin berehat dan berbelanja di Malaysia tetapi kerana kami percaya bahawa apabila kami datang ke Malaysia kami memberi banyak rezeki kepada ramai orang. Tun pasti lebih maklum.
    Maafkan saya kerana ini pertama kali saya cuba-cuba komen dari pandangan saya dan persepsi saya sendiri.
    Sejauh ini saya dapati peminat Tun yang ‘hardcore’ sekalipun tidak banyak memberi manafaat dari apa yang Tun tuliskan.Idea-idea yang Tun cetuskan tidak di bawa ke hadapan.Mereka tidak berfikiran positif dan memikirkan langkah-langkah selanjutnya.
    Saya anggap sikap kebanyakkan dari mereka hanya sebagai ‘batu api’,’apple polishing’ dan mengampu dan sebagainya.Mungkinkah ini sikap kebanyakan orang Melayu Malaysia yang masih di warisi turun temurun?
    Mungkinkah kita harus memikirkan dan mencermin diri dan masyarakat kita sendiri? Janganlah kita hanya mahu menyalahkan pemerintah sahaja sedangkan kita sebenarnya tanpa di sedari adalah sebahagian dari mereka,kerana jika kita tidak dapat membetulkan diri dan etika kerja kita maka siapa pun yang memerintah akan sama sahaja.
    Inilah apa yang orang Melayu Singapura sedang dengan serius cuba belajar dari orang Melayu lain mengubah bukan saja cara pemikiran malah cara kehidupan kami juga.
    Mafkan saya Tun kerana saya juga masih belajar dari cetusan idea-idea Tun dari komen peminat-peminat Tun yang menjadi Idola kami.
    Semoga Tun di beri kekuatan untok terus menulis bukan saja untuk menegur pemerintah tetapi mengubah cara hidup orang-orang yang di panggil MELAYU.

  118. Salam buat Tun,
    Saya rasa tak kisah kalau putrajaya tak sebagus paris dan tempat-tempat yang lain. Kalau banyak sangat hiburan juga tidak ada baiknya. Nanti masjid putrajaya akan jadi kosong jika dibandingkan dengan tempat makan yang lain. Jangan jadi macam di Bangsar sudah lah. Dulu ianya aman sebagai satu kawasan kediaman tapi sekarang dah jadi macam little holliwood aje.

  119. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    I am a student who is currently studying in the UK and I would like to inform you that I am not a Malaysian but I keep on updating myself with politics around the globe. Of all the politic parties as well as the politicians around the world that I have seen, the most delectable and governing party that I adore the most is UMNO and of course, you Tun, being a gleaming and forthright leader, made me adore and you deserve to have a full and high respect from me.
    I am watching ‘Liberal Democrat Conference’ on BBC while typing this comment. I would say that there is a vast disparity between UMNO and the UK party. Lets say the way they make their speech is much shorter but full of messages. I never miss watching your ‘Supreme Gathering’ or ‘Perhimpunan Agung’ that being held yearly (sorry if I am wrong). Comparing the UK Liberal/Democrat party, the time limit given to each representative is limited to 10 minutes per representative. With only 10 minutes, I can listen numerous numbers of points. Where as UMNO’s, even if I switch to other channel and come back to the gathering’s after 30 to 40 minutes later, the same representative can still be seen standing making his/her speech. I wonder what is the purpose of doing so Tun? I guess, UMNO’s representative would be much appreciated if they use the time on the public, rather than wasting their time standing and talking as well as sitting and listening for hours or even days.
    Please accept my apology Tun. I just wanted to share my opinions since my own country does not practise politics. I respect and envy you. Do take care.

  120. I’ve been there TUN and tempat nya sangat cantik sekali.
    No one should be regret to be there at least once in their life time.Perhaps,to make it lively,it should have a swimming pool by nite,go kart activities by nite,bazaar and so on.
    On the other hand mesti nak adakan kemudahan transport kesana till say up to 3am on weekends and 12am on weekdays.Semua bangsa harus diberikan oppotunity to organise their cultural activities there and of course lah with permit to do so.Disamping itu,govt harus letakkan polis lah to do more foot patrols there supaya rakyat tak berasa takut disana and perhaps polis can set up a polis post there too.

  121. My Honorable Tun
    You have always been my idol, regardless of what you have done wrong but to me it’s how much right you have done!
    I was very proud to be a Malaysian until now. My friend saw you in The Zone, Johor Bahru and did nothing.
    If it was I that saw you, I would really want to walk up (if you bodyguards permits) and shake you hands and kiss them and tell you, “Tun, you have done a good job in bringing Malaysia to the WORLD!”
    What you have done is known by all! We had the BIGGEST FLAG and we even have the world’s BIGGEST KETUPAT! (many said the KETUPAT was a waste of resources but I was always agreeing)
    I was brought up to be patriotic and I am (was) patriotic! I was proud to be a Malaysian Chinese!!!
    But now the person who governs has made me NOT! Sad isn’t it?!
    Even when you used ISA, you used it with style! (but you see the current situation, sigh….. )
    You have brought Malaysia to the TOP! Maybe it’s your fault, you have brought it too high… that your predecessor can’t even maintain… Ha Ha…
    If you ask me which Malaysian leader is the best…. I would say it’s you. Not LKS, LLS, LGE, not even another of my idol CSL.
    Don’t be glum, my dear Tun, you have done what you could for us… Life goes on….

  122. Putrajaya tu boleh dimajukan lagi,Tun….
    saya rasa kalau kita jadikan Putrajaya tu macam KL sekarang,bandar tu akan sentiasa hidup waktu malam….
    kita letaklah China Town ke,Petaling Street ke,BB ke…barulah bandar tu akan hidup waktu malam…

  123. Salam buat tun,
    Saya rasa putrajaya tak lah terlalu dull atau mati pada waktu malam. Cuma waktu operasi Alamanda sahaja yang perlu dilanjutkan. Saya tidak mahu terlalu sangat hiburan, putrajaya akan menjadi tempat anak-anak muda dan tua melepak seperti yang terjadi di Bansar satu ketika dahulu. Nanti orang akan menyalahkan Tun kerana membangunkan Putrajaya. I miss you as my great PM.

  124. Salam,
    whatever it is I believe a lots of shutter bugs wanna thank you for a lovely city. I was one of the night stroller cum shutter bug back in the day where I was a student in Cyberjaya(another project of yours and thank you to you, God willing I’m not MML (melayu mudah lupa)).
    My favourite is taking picture of the mosque from the bridge at night, capturing the reflection of the mosque on the lake. and the big problem I see in Putrajaya is that I have to drive into the city. so whenever I find a perfect place to take picture I’ve to find proper parking first if not the security will come running shooing my car.
    Its a shame that the monorail project is cancelled, if not it can be a popular past time for family and shutterbug to park and ride the monorail to have a family night out in Putrajaya(not just out to the shopping mall) and this could be commercialized and market to the world as a must do when visiting Malaysia.
    I agreed that there should be a lots of shop where anyone can sit around and sip coffee while enjoying the scenery of Putrajaya at night. I believe there’s an art project that was about to kick start in Putrajaya, but the brain people pass away and the idea went off completely, maybe there’s not much profit to make this kind of idea.
    I believe there’s alot of Malaysian actually have big idea on the development of Putrajaya but they do not really know where and how to channel this big idea.
    Still alots can be done, and if the big planned project is not stopped with a big ho-ha of MEGA PROJECT, it has been a better township.
    Reading about the american business district, suddenly I imagined a lots of Rolls and Maybach dropping people alongside the boulevard near the water features at the round about there, and suddenly an ACA alarm ring… ‘Malaysian Mentality’.
    Tired Boon. I’m sharing a few pics with the visitors here, took this picture quite sometimes back, not the best out there, bear with me, I’m very beginner with a ‘pinjam’ SLR camera,

    Another shutter bugs point. not SLR camera. a cheap underrated camera. Maybe you can guess the brand from the file name. Taken recently.

  125. But Tun, on Thursdays & Fridays the premises at the Government complex are quite like Petaling Streets with so many stalls selling all sort of wares. I don’t think that should be the case, as the staff would not hesitate to “shop” during their working hours – even for “a second”. I certainly did not find walking through this “market” and I am certain any “visitors” would have found the “shopping area” – unsuitable, like a black dot in open sea, especially when so much money has been spent on Putrajaya which many of us Malaysians are proud to take our foreign visitors and friends.
    As for the “business hours”, nobody can swear that these were abused and the “few minutes down to buy something” cannot be true.
    Elizabeth

  126. Dear Sir,
    Like Putrajaya there could be a lot other decisions of yours that could have gone wrong which you now long to correct. It could be some of your mega-projects or racial integration plans. But you have passed on to others. Why feel guilty, or intrude now? It is now their jobs to review and take correctives measures. Your biggest mistake is ruling Malaysia far too long. You just can’t disassociate yourself from the government or UMNO. Others are capable too. Forget about all these things and learn to enjoy your life.

  127. Salam Tun
    Yeahhhh…agree Putrajaya indeed dull at nites…
    Seharusnya pembangunan ala-ala ECER ENER or whatever the names are perlu includes The Putrajaya.
    It seems that Pak Lah doesnt want to be part of whatever Tun do or does. Dia nak cipta satu benda yang orang akan ingat itu adalah hasil usaha dia. Thats why la dia nak tunggu tahun 2010 tuuu…
    Thats why dia tak arahkan apa-apa tentang pembangunan Putrajaya tu…Kalau Pak Lah progreskan Putrajaya bukan nama dia yang muncul tapi nama Tun pasal idea asal adalah dari Tun…. Sama la kalau dia teruskan dengan pembinaan Jambatan Bengkok dulu tu Tun juga yang menyerlah.. so dia tak mau!!! eheh…!!!
    Pada masa ini ada banyak perkara yang sinonim dengan Tun ..contoh KLCC = Tun ….
    Putrajaya = Tun …
    Litar Sepang = Tun …
    KLIA = Tun …
    banyak laaa lagi…
    Tapi kalu dengan Pak Lah apa yang sinonim? (Letih pikir tak jumpa jugak ni)Mungkin belum ada.. atau mungkin
    PR12 = Pak Lah
    KJ = Pak Lah
    eheh!!!!!!!! >>>>>ampooon

  128. A’KUM TUN
    May the force of Allah be with u alwys
    try not!, do or do not that is the matter
    pls do something pls pls pls…………………….

  129. putrajaya is unbelievably beautiful at nite…..scenic bridges, manificent street lamps, some amazing 5star hotels beside the lakes, etc etc….i still have not had enought of it after all these years…..im proud of putrajaya

  130. Askum Tok Det dan Warga Bloggers..
    (=*_*=) dah berapa hari dok ckp pasai isu politik ja,sesekali tukaq angin best jugak…masing2 hati tu tak la panas sangat..
    mengenai isu PUTRAJAYA sungguh jauh pandangan tok det noh, tapi apa nak buat tak semua impian yang kita harapkan akan jadi kenyataan..saya faham akan niat yang tersirat tok det bersuara mengenai isu ni kat sini, mungkin ini salah satu cara perjuangan tok det untuk menghidupkan malam yang meriah di PUTRAJAYA supaya lampu-lampu yang bermodal berjutaan ringgit dapat dimanfaatkan di malam hari,malahan penempatan orang melayu lebih 90% di kawasan tersebut, ini lah peluang orang melayu nak meningkatkan ekonomi masing-masing betul tak?..saya sependapat dengan “blogger tokdalang” qasa2nya itu idea yang bernas,masalah kebersihan pun dapat ditangani..cuma nak tambah sikit jer, barang-barang yang nak dijualkan sumanya wajib yang halal sahaja, dari segi keselamatan perlu diperketatkan supaya tak terjadi huru hara, sumanya dikawal dan terkawal oleh bahagian keselamatan..baru dapat jadi kota meriah aman dan damai macam yang diimpikan oleh tok det..
    “segalanya bermula dari angan-angan, tapi kiranya tak diusahakan angan-angan takkan jadi kenyataan”
    sekian sahaja dulu..doa saya semoga tok det sihat selalu dan salam aidilfitri pada tok det sekeluarga dan warga bolgger tak kira bangsa dan agama kita sama-sama meraikannya..berhati-hati dijalan raya bila balik kg nanti..

  131. salam wrt tun
    we like to build shopping malls. we built berjaya times square, mid-valley megamall, suria klcc, sungai wang plaza, sunway pyramid, alamanda, 1-utamta, the curve, and the list goes on and on.
    one thing we lack off is inexpensive parking at half of these malls. the other half offer free or inexpensive parking but insufficient parking bay.
    suria klcc, thronged by office workers and various shoppers, charges high parking fee. but as the goods sold in suria klcc are premium goods, the regular shoppers cannot afford to go there.
    mid-valley mega mall charges a small fee for parking. but the number of parking bay is limited. entrance to the parking bay is also limited. the area around the mall is jammed with traffic every weekend and public holidays.
    alamanda is locate away from the housing areas, and the areas surrounding it is quite barren, devoid of lights and gardens.
    i like shopping at jalan tuanku abdul rahman. parking is a problem, but there are plenty of busses. the star and putra lrt converges at masjid jamek. and then there’s wisma yakin and various shops along jalan masjid india, that stretches all the way from masjid jamek, beyond semua house to campbell complex. on the main road, there are various clothing stores, notably globe silk store that has stood there for many years. and then there are the newer ones like gulatis and kamdar, where my parents used to call these kind of shops “kedai bombay”.
    jalan tuanku abdul rahman and jalan masjid india is always full of people. what is the recipe? the area is flat. you dont need to wait for elevators nor get on escalators. you just walk from one end to the other. there are plenty of small stalls to larger restaurants to meet your thirst and hunger pangs. husbands can always find a place for teh tarik and roti canai while their wives shop around.
    in the us, there are many strip malls. the multi-storey malls always have acres of free parking space, where shoppers only issue is how near to the entrance can they park.
    sometimes, the development of many so called public areas by the city halls and municipalities are out of “syok sendiri”. that’s why there are so many white elephant parks and buildings. and then they blame the people not giving support to their initiative.
    we like to impose things on people, and hope they will like them just because we like them. and then there are places that are done beautifully, but we dont allow people to enjoy them. i take the klcc park for example. picnic is not allowed. there aren’t any stalls selling affordable (affordable by the standard of out-of-kl orang kampung and visitors) drinks and snacks. if cleanliness is an issue, then deal with it as a separate issue, rather than banning it.
    food in klcc is expensive. even nasi campur in the food court costs between rm8-10 ringgit with plain water. a family of five will have to spend at least rm50 to have lunch in the food court. for out of towners, that’s like a day’s wage. or more.
    dear tun, some people still hear you. you are stil the advisor to petronas. maybe you can start affecting the klcc and alamanda.
    warm regards.

  132. Putrajaya looks too touristy and administrative. It is such a beautiful place but yet has become a white elephant mainly because it is considered a governmental area.
    I asked the local business people why they don’t want to go to such a beautiful and pleasant place to start a business and the same answer came back. It is in the middle of nowhere and not a place for the anybody to start a business without the volume to sustain a business. The government workers who lives there simply do not have the same money to spend like the ones in K.L.
    A lot of local inhabitants have moved out of the old Pudu and K.L town area, now lives in Puchong area which has turned into a dynamic commercialised area. Why Puchong and not Putrajaya? Distance from K.L plus lack of inhabitants has turned it into the next Ankor Wat.

  133. Assalamualaikum YABhg. Tun.
    Tahniah kerana YABhg Tun telah berjaya membangunkan kawasan ladang getah Prang Besar sehingga menjadi pusat pentadbiran kerajaan yang terindah didunia. Disebalik keindahan binaan tersebut terdapat falsafah yang perlu dihayati oleh kita.
    Bangunan pertama dibina ialah Masjid Putrajaya bersempena dengan binaan pertama Nabi Muhammad s.a.w sewaktu hijrah ke Madinah iaitu membina Masjid. Lokasi masjid terletak ditengah pusat pentadbiran menjadi peringatan kepada penjawat awam dan pengunjung Putrajaya supaya ingatkan Allah. Manakala Komplek JPM menghadap Masjid telah memikat hati pengunjung JPM betapa indahnya binaan Masjid Putrajaya.
    Manakala dari anjung Seri Perdana tersergam indah komplek JPM dan masjid disebalik Tasek Putrajaya bagi mengingatkan penghuninya akan kewajipan menjalankan tugas dan beribadat kerana Allah.
    Pembinaan Putrajaya bukan saja indah, praktikal tetapi telah memberi sumbangan besar kepada kerajaan dari segi penjimatan masa, penjimatan kos serta meningkatkan produktiviti.
    Limpahan pembangunannya dirasai oleh kejiranan apabila Puchong, Seri Kembangan, Bangi, Kajang turut membangun.
    Sumbangan YABhg Tun amat besar dan tiada tolok banding dengan pemimpin Malaysia yang lain. Lebih-lebih lagi dengan bloggers yang tidak sedar diri dengan biadap mengutuk YABhg. Tun.
    Persoalannya dimanakah terowong untuk PM melarikan diri sepertimana ditohmahkan oleh pembangkang. YABhg Tun meninggalkan Putrajaya selepas melepaskan jawatan. Ini telah menafikan tohmahan pembangkang kononnya Seri Perdana menjadi milik kekal YABhg. Tun.
    Semoga YABhg Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah.

    Tun, teruskan menyumbang di bumi Malaysia, semoga sentiasa diberkati Allah hendaknya,
    Salam

  138. Salam Tun
    Although I admire your ability to be able to conceptualise Putrajaya from your mind into physical conception (and this shows a different kind of ability from you compared to your capability as a statesman because it involves managing of resources, labour, finance and timeline), I am very sad at the fact that it is now one of the most wasteful city and it is like a ghost town. I can drive to Putrajaya and park my car by the roadside without fear of blocking the road or getting a fine simply because there is hardly any cars in Putrajaya! I salute your ability to build this fine, visionary state-of-the-art capital. If it is to prove you can do it, you have done it. But the sad fact now is that you have street lighting that illuminate an empty town leading to huge electrical wastage. Benches built in Putrajaya are not used to sit down. State of the art toilets with infrared detecton remain empty and unused. Traffic lights are not observed because few are using the roads as originally inteded particularly at night. Putrajaya is just too far from KL, PJ and Shah Alam. And so is the Sepang KLIA Airport. I am afraid you will have to answer to this huge wastage of funds and resources to God.

  139. Assamualaikum Tun dan keluarga,
    Apa yang Tun katakan mengenai Putrajaya memang betul.
    Putrajaya Indah dan ia sunyi terutama malam, tiada siapa fikirkan untuk menceriakan suasana malamnya.Saya percaya kalaulah Tun masih menjadi PM Putrajaya akan lebih maju. Entahlah Tun, saya lihat Menteri baru-baru ni dok diam aje, langsung tak ada idea nak menceriakan pembangunan sediaada, asyik fikirkan nak buat benda baru dan fikir macam mana nak habiskan wang. Bila rakyat bising, ambil duit kasi..itu ajelah yang mereka buat. Harap Tun komen aje mereka.Inilah Tun, Putrajaya tu kalau tak di perbetulkan, habislah,dengar cerita Perbadanan Putrajaya dah bosan dengan agenda politik sekarang,malap macam Putrajaya

  140. Building Putrajaya was a monumental mistake to begin with, and a tribute and everlasting epitaph to rulers everywhere who let hubris get into their head. Every two decades or so, a leader in a third world country will decide to build a brand new capital so that the country can be noticed by the world. Yes, these monstrous white elephants are being noticed, but for all the wrong reasons.
    Brasilia was inaugurated as the new capital of Brazil on 21 April 1960. This is what has become of the place “This is the only building Costa designed, and he envisioned it as the central gathering place for the residents. Unfortunately, this hasn’t happened.”
    During the 1980’s plans were made to move the administrative capital to Sri Jayawardanapura Kotte and thus move all governmental institutions out of Colombo to make way for commercial activities. As a primary step the Parliament was moved to a new complex in Kotte and several ministries and departments were also moved. However the move was never completed. Today many governmental institutions still remain in Colombo.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombo
    Naypyidaw (Burmese: , also spelled Nay Pyi Taw) is the capital of Burma. Naypyidaw means “Royal City”, but is also translated as “abode of kings”.[2] The administrative capital of Burma was officially moved to a greenfield site 3 kilometres west of Pyinmana on 6 November 2005. Naypyidaw is approximately 320 kilometres north of Yangon. The capital’s official name was announced on Armed Forces Day in March 2006.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naypyidaw
    http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/23/asia/myanmar.php
    After the Indonesian city of Acheh was wiped out by the Indian Ocean Tsunami, the local government wanted to redevelop the provincial capital along the line of Putrajaya. Yes, Sumatra has studied Putrajaya when planning its new administrative capital.
    And yes, the military dictatorship in Myanmar must have been very much impressed by Putrajaya that they decided to build a brand new capital city despite the fact that the country is dirt poor and on the brink of economic disaster.

  141. Salam Tun,
    Bukan salah Tun melahirkan idea menjadikan Putrajaya sebagai pusat pentadbiran kerajaan. Bukan dosa Tun merealisasikan Putrajaya menjadikannya seperti yang ada sekarang. Sehingga ke saat ini, bulu roma saya akan meremang setiap kali ke Putrajaya atau sekadar melintasi melalui Cyberjaya untuk ke KLIA. Bukan seramkan kerana kononnya Putrajaya bandar hantu tetapi meremangnya kerana perasaan bangga yang meluap-luap menyaksikan betapa indahnya Putrajaya. Dari Prang Besar dan Prang Kecil..Putrajaya menjelma menjadi mercutanda terhebat sepanjang zaman. Dan sehingga ke hari ini, ada perasaan terkilan kepada saya kerana tidak pernah terlintas untuk memohon pekerjaan dengan kerajaan.
    Saya masih ingat pada suatu hari saya ke pejabat Timbalan Perdana Menteri (sewaktu Pak Lah) bersama seorang kawan dan dia bertanyakan kepada saya ketika kami berjalan masuk..” Kau rasa White House macam ini tak?” jawaban saya, ” aku tak pernah ke sana, tapi mcm mana hebat pun White House, sekarang aku berjalan dengan penuh rasa bangga dan penghormatan menjadi rakyat Malaysia”.
    Baru-baru ini saya juga ke Putrajaya sekadar bersiar-siar bersama keluarga. walaupun perasaan bangga tidak pernah kuncup akan tetapi terbit pula perasaan sebak dan sedih memerhatikan bagaimana Putrajaya diuruskan. Lantai jubin yang pecah di sana sini, berlumut, kotor dan sebagainya. Tatkala anak saya memandang untuk jawaban, saya penuh yakin mengatakan, perkara ini pasti tidak berlaku jikalau Tun masih lagi sebagai Perdana Menteri. Saya amat-amat yakin mengatakannya kerana mengenali cara Tun bekerja. Ramai yang tidak mengetahui betapa Tun sering kali melakukan ‘spot check’ di tapak pembinaan sekitar Putrajaya selepas waktu pejabat, hujung minggu dan sekali sekala berhenti di tepi jalan melintas ke tengah memeriksa samada pokok bunga berbaja atau pun tidak.
    Saya masih ingat Tun ‘personally’ memeriksa kunci air di belakang sekolah Seri Puteri Cyberjaya hanya kerana tahap takungan air di tasik buatan manusia terindah (bagi saya) masih tahap rendah walaupun hujan hanmpir setiap hari. Sedangkan Tun baru saja tiba dari lawatan ke Jerman pada sebelah paginya. Saya belum pernah melihat Perdana Menteri sekarang melakukan sedemikian. Apa yang saya cuba katakan ialah keikhlasan, kesungguhan dan kejujuran yang Tun tonjolkan selama ini masih lagi tinggi nilainya berbanding apa yang telah terhasil di Putrajaya. Jadi pinta saya janganlah Tun rasa beralah ke atas apa yang atau seang berlaku di Putrajaya sekarang.
    Terima Kasih Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad

  143. Salam Tun,
    Sememangnya Putrajaya telah menjadi bandar yang sepi bila malam menjelma. Kepimpinan sekarang nampaknya telah gagal untuk memantapkan Putrajaya. Mungkin mereka terlalu sibuk dengan perkara-perkara lain. Cuma yang saya takutkan rakyat akan menjadi terlalu sibuk untuk mereka.

  144. Salam Ayahanda Tun,
    Menarik cerita yang Tun sampaikan, tersentuh jugak ati saya. kadang-kadang bila difikirkan semula, bukan senang nak bagi semua orang faham maksud yang cuba disampaikan. saya yakin Tun, dengan izin Allah hanya Tun yang dapat kembalikan apa yang sepatutnya diingini oleh rakyat Malaysia terutama yang bernama MELAYU.
    Teruskan menulis kerana saya tetap akan membacanya. Teruskan dengan perjuangan Tun kerana saya tetap akan bersama Tun.
    Semoga Allah merahmati Tun sekeluarga.

    YYYessss Sir, I am one of those who pioneered the development of Putrajaya when the oil palm plantation was cleared and the dusty surrounding makes it look like the Arabian desert. Moreover the contractor responsible for the building of the Putra Mosque is the Saudi Bin Laden Group.
    One issue I would like to raise here is that, during planning stage we were too engrossed about the buildngs, the infrastructure and not the people that is going to use them. I have made various presentations to you, the late Tan Sri Azizan and of course the Perbadanan Putrajaya. Honestly I don’t think anyone cares about the people. Their habit, behaviour and so on. What small people does, couples, yuppies , families , joggers, hawkers , tourist , mechanics , etc.
    We did what is necessary for the Dataran Putra. And it gives me great satisfaction when there were thousands of visitors there all day, 7 days a week. There was no history unlike Dataran Merdeka and it’s the most visited place in Putrajaya compare to the others.
    But its truely sad to witness the poor maintenance of the Dataran, let alone the rest of Putrajaya. Its growing aimlessly, a reflection of situation of the whole country and its leaders at the moment.
    The other aspect I would like to raise is that those in the Perbadanan Putrajaya must not be thinking that they are the (PBT)Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan. They were paid to serve, and not to show they are the Pihak Yang Maha BERKUASA!
    Wassalam

  146. I live in Putrajaya. Yes, it’s beautiful but very dull! Simple and yet so profound.
    If Putrajaya is to progress, public transport should improve and ideas must be in abundance!

  147. Dearest Tun,
    Missed the dynamic touch when you were were at Putrajaya. Developments seems eminent, pride spurred every where globally. Proud to be Malaysian. Now everything is questionable and meetings at Putrajaya are not the same..

  148. salam Tun,
    Sorry out of topic…

  149. another interesting topic but perhaps you should ask yourself too ?.
    it was your project then, so why was the subject about having living people around putra jaya at nite not addressed ?,,,or cas. you have a restaurent nowadays ???. ha ha ha.
    it appears that you are very good in raising issues up which you were responsible in the first place !. now blaming others,,,geeee at times i don’t understand your stand-lah.
    what next’s issue would you raise ?,,,,,cari gadoh or cari peluang ?.
    but carry on, i find your blog most interesting.
    an retiree like me, has lots of time to read your stuff.
    cheers to all my malaysian friends and also you Dr.M, take care.

  150. Tun, pls voice out and save the ISA detainees, not the time to talk about how dull is the Putrajya.

    Entah ape2 je mcm syok sendiri plak. suke2 dgn Lim Kek Siang (Muka mcm komunis- same dgn perangainya) ape la nak jadi sekarang ni!! Nik Aziz x nak plak join…
    Hari ni dah 16 Sept. ape plak nnti jadinye..?
    Saya pelik dgn orang-orang sokong PKR & DAP ni. mereka ni x tau ke nak agak tujuan sebenar die orang ni buat mcm tu…?

  154. ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAH HI TAALA WABAROKATUH
    Yang di hormati lagi di sayangi Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda Siti Hasmah
    Selamat Berpuasa.
    Saya adalah generasi selepas merdeka amat menyanjungi perjuangan Pemimpin2 terdahulu terutamanya dizaman Tun.Visi dan Misi Tun amat jelas. Step by step yang Tun telah buat.Sehinggalah yang terakhir KLIA & PUTRAJAYA.Cuma yang buta hati dan buta mata sahaja yang tak nampak.Walaupun menghadapi berbagai rintangan dan bangkangan (terutama manusia yang gila kuasa tu )Tun tetap teruskan juga kerana visi Tun jelas.Tapi bagi orang yang buta mata dan buta hati yang dah dirancang pun dibatalkan, eg JAMBATAN BENGKOK,LANDASAN BERKEMBAR,MENERUSKAN PEMBANGUNAN PUTRAJAYA dll.Sekarang ini Kami rasa kami seperti 5-10 tahun telah terundur kebelakang.Tun selamat kembali kepangkuan UMNO, kami berdoa Tun dapat membuat sesuatu moga segala pembangunan yang terhenti dapat diteruskan semula.

  155. PUTRAJAYA adalah kebangaan kita…
    banyak kebangaan kita yang berjaya dilaksanakan semasa era Tun…
    terima kasih Tun…

  156. I wish to quote one of our world cleverest Minister saying : In order to protect someone, i use ISA to detain her. So, we can apply his saying here too : In order to protect Putrajaya, i will build all the ISA office buildings to surround the putrajaya.

  157. 1. Putrajaya – kaku…tapi menyerlah waktu malam.
    2. Penbinaan kota baru bukanlah lah satu matlamat…ianya satu proces. Macam Paris dari kota yang penuh dengan penyakit kusta hingga lah menjadi kota cinta.
    3. Begitu juga dengan Putrajaya. Platform dah cantik..cuma orang yang berkuasa sekarang jangan laa…dok status quo. Jadikan ia lebih baik.
    4. Saya percaya ia boleh dilakukan..tepuk dada tanya selera..kalau nak seribu daya kan..
    5. Terima kasih Tun kerana memulakannya…ada klas!

    Salam Ayahanda Tun, kenapa masih tiada berita dari UMNO tentang kemasukkan semula Tun? Perlu saya perkatakan disini bahawa jangan UMNO (atau sesiapa pun yang bukan professional atau terlatih khas) cuba meniru gaya kerja LHDN kita, biarkan mereka memegang rekod pembirokrasi terunggul dirantau ini. Tanpa LHDN apalah birokrasi kita nantinya pulak. Proses cepat sikit, mana karat letak minyak angin, mana tersumbat guna buloh. – Kamal Ahmad Yahya.

  159. Salam Tun,
    Putrajaya is a great idea due to two main benefits-
    1. Central government administration departments at one place should create an ideal environment for civil servants to better coordinate and execuate policy and plan.
    2. Kuala Lumpur and Klang Valley is already saturated with development and with that come the congestion, pollution, crime and social problems.
    Present and future government must make all effort to develop the rest of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is just part of Malaysia and it is simply just cannot justify to spend billions of ringgit in one place while the rest look with envy. Of course the idea must be thoroughly planned and excecuate, not just as election gimmick as being clearly demonstrated by the present government.

  160. YAB Tun,
    Well said indeed. The other day I wanted to take my children to Putrajaya thnking that I can rekindle the awe of the place at night on visitors – but we had to change plans. My family simply blurted out,” Boriiinggg, there’s nothing in Putrajaya to see, cant even find a good reasonable place to eat!, …if we can see Tun Mahathir tak apa lah jugak “….
    I rest my case.

  161. ive just got the news – DSAI is taking over the government by 5pm…today. is that true? he already has 30 mps- he sent letter to PM for power transition.

  162. Assalamualaikum Tun.

    tajuk-My putrajaya
    pakpandir: cantiknya dan hebat tempat ni siapa punya idea.
    pakkadok: Dr.mahadir punya idea.Pm kebanggaan kita.Ada misi & version.
    mak-andir: inilah putrajaya. hee.. cantiknya bunga..
    pakpandir: cantiknya masjid tu jom kita solad kat sana.
    pakkadok: tengok tu bercahaya bangunannya.hebat sungguh.
    pakpandir; malam ni kenapa kita bertiga kat sini..sayang sekali tempat yg hebat cuma kita yg datang.
    mak-andir: tak nampak pun kedai makan.aku lapar
    pakpandir:kerajaan sekarang tk ada idea ke?
    pakkadok: kerajaan sekarang banyak kerja kt tempat lain.
    mak-andir: tak ada inovasi langsung..tidok saja.

  165. setuju Tun,
    Putrajaya dibina memang macam tu huhuhuhu… malam di jadikan sunyi sepi…
    bayangkan…workshop kereta @ motor tiada di putrajaya…. kalau rosak kena pegi pekan @ bandar sebelah.
    Tengok SOUQ di bawah masjid Putrajaya…. rasanya banyak kedai tutup….
    Malaysia sebenarnya banyak tempat menarik untuk tarik pelancong, tapi tak pandai maintain @ membuatkan tempat tu popular. Kebanyakan tempat hanya layak di kunjungi sekali semumur hidup…. pihak bertanggungjawap tidak kreatif….

  166. Salam Tun,
    Buat satu padang yang luas macam kat Shah Alam where public can beriadah malam-malam…kat Putrajaya semuanya batu..takde satu padang for public pun..

  167. Tun,
    Putrajaya another achievement of TDM. Yes now a very significant offices for the Goverment, and also a tourist attraction for locals and foriegners. With the existance of Putrajaya the traffic flows in KL is lessen and improved. If given the opportunity would not mind to open a coffe shop with snacks to cater for night activities, thus given more life day and night. Tun take good care of your health,Malaysian need TDM more than ever and forever more as permitted by Allah the Almighty. Salam & Maaf.

  168. Salam tun,
    just hope crime does not not rise side by side by any social development……….
    But I am still 100% supporting you.

  169. Salam Tun,
    Saya orang langkawi,tahun 2006 sy pernah kerja di kompleks MOF.saya tidak nafikan,mmg indah & seninya putrajaya itu dibina.ada setengah bangunan sampai sy tak terfikir cantiknya bangunan. bila sy bw parents & adik2 ke sana,ke main suka lg depa tgk putrajaya.
    Tapi sekarang apa dah jadi?nak kata bandar koboi,byk taman2 lak.sy rs ade few things yg kurang ttng putrajaya. bukan dr segi kemudahan,tp dr segi perancangan aktiviti & peniagaannya nampak kureng sket.
    itu putrajaya,mcm mana pula langkawi.dulu ms Tun jd PM sebut jer sy ni asal langkawi semua kata pulau emas..lubuk Tun laburkan duit negara bangunkan pulau yg indah ni.tapi apa dah jadi? LADA skrg hidup segan mati tidak mahu jer.apa dah jadi dgn Pantai Kok, Kilim, padang mat sirat etc semua dah muram skrg?mana orang pergi?mana pelancong?semuannya tinggal bahan utk dikenang saja Tun.
    Tun, harapan ikhlas sy kembalilah dalam UMNO..jdlah mentor kepada kerajaan. nasihatlah mereka bagi mereka sedar. Putrajaya bandar melayu,Langkawi pulau melayu..jangan jd LAYU..

  170. Askm Y.Bhg Tun
    Dulu, ramai orang menganggap Putrajaya itu membazir wang rakyat dan sia-sia. Tetapi pada saya, Putrajaya adalah satu mercu tanda kepada negara kita. Negara-negara besar mempunyai pusat pentadbiran kerajaan mereka sendiri seperti mana yang kita lihat Amerika Syarikat yang mempunyai bangunan White House. Sekarang ini, saya lihat Putrajaya bukan sahaja tempat pusat pentadbiran kerajaan, tetapi tempat pelancongan, tempat beriadah dan macam-macam lagi. Saya hairan kenapa orang tidak fikir itu semua. Apabila kerajaan yang baru mengambil alih, semata-mata nak ambil hati rakyat, projek-projek yang mendatangkan keuntungan dan pendapatan kepada negara dibatal. Apabila dah tak ada duit, barulah pening kepala mana nak dapat duit nak bagi subsidi. Lepas tu, barulah terhegeh-hegeh nak sambung balik projek yang dibatal dulu. Duit yang ada pula disalur secara bulat-bulat ke sana- sini. Entah siapa pula yang akan dapat duit itu. Adakah rakyat atau pemimpin bawahannya sahaja. Kalau nampak hasil tak mengapa. Tapi hanya kerana nak pancing sokongan. Pada saya itu semacam satu rasuah kepimpinan. Kesannya sekarang, kita hanya berkonflik, pembangunan satu apa pun tak nampak lagi. Pembangkang semakin lama, semakin popular. Kalaulah saya Saintis, saya nak buat seorang Klon daripada Tun untuk jadi pemimpin. Bolehkah? Gurau saja Tun.
    Slmt Berpuasa dan selamat menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

  171. To badrul, I concur with your comments.
    To the oppurtunistic cronies who have enriched themselves at the expense of the poor taxpayers for a white-elephant project like Putrajaya, they can never run away from the pangs of the great God.
    If they ever manage to escape from the pangs of the great God during their lifetimes, their offsprings would be ‘rewarded’ accordingly.
    Just believe in the great God for He can see and judge for what every man does in his lifetime.

  172. Salam TUN.
    Bukan apa, Pak Lah tak mau bising2 waktu malam kat Putra Jaya sebab dia nak Zzzzzzzz!!!! Kalau bising2 dan terang benderang nanti dia “Terkejut”. Kan ka dia selalu terkejut…….
    Itu lah perbezaan nya TUN dangan pemimpin2 yang lain. Mereka cuma ada permainan politik sahaja dalam kepala mereka. Perkara2 lain yang bolih menafaatkan rakyat atau kawasan itu tak pernah terfikir
    dan nampak apa2 peluang dari segi ekonomi mahu pun dijadikan suatu distinasi atau pusat kecermelangan Malaysia.
    Kalu pada mula Putra Jaya di buka saya selalu pergi. Tapi sehingga sekarang tak nampak apa2 lagi yang istimewanya Putra Jaya.
    Tak ada apa2 beza pun dengan Bandar2 lain. Malam pun suram saja.
    Pusat2 kormesial nya pun tak lah hebat dan meriah sangat.
    Saya suka tengok kat setengah negara maju masih guna TRAM dipusat2 bandar. Kenderaan sendriaan tak dibenarkan disetengah2 zone.
    Kalau ini ada kat Putra Jaya tentu seronok untuk,bersiar2, melawat dan membeli belah. Dan akan lebih nampak mesra alam.Kurang pencemaran.Dan apabila orang ramai naik tram untuk bergerak dikawasan2 Putra Jaya cara tak langsung bolih mengiratkan lagi hubungan masyarakat setempat dan orang2 luar. Tidak lah menyombong tak tentu pasal kerana pandu kereta mewah dan tunjuk2 letak kat depan pintu kedai.
    Saya rasa TUN perlu lakukan perangcanggan tambahan untuk memajukan lagi PUTRA JAYA.
    “Pak Lah tu ‘terkejut’ lagi semalam……..”

  173. Tun said “One of the effects of this rigid confinement to Government buildings on the boulevard is to make Putrajaya a Malay city. Ninety five percent of the people living in Government built flats are Malay Government workers. Although the Government built flats are available to non-Government servants, there are hardly any buyers for them. Certainly there are no Chinese or Indian.”
    PutraJaya was built without a multiracial interest and mind set for all Malaysians but for a single Malay race – It is totally wrong – VERY SAD. Tun admitted being guilty of setting up Putrajaya as the administrative capital. It is very well planned. But it is dull. Many Malay civil servants complained that PutraJaya is lifeless city without any activities at night that looks like a nice Ghost city at night and poor appreciation of properties values.
    Let Putrajaya compared with Bandar Utama and Mutiara Damansara, the Chinese developers built both towns from former oil palam and rubber estates into super cities with multiracial of all races in their mind and nation interests. All Malaysians irrespective of race, creed, religion and cultures will do businesses, many entertainments, foods and beverages ever ready to enjoy life all day morning to night. In short, Malaysians hope that future new Government projects must benefit the entire nation of all races to create a vibrant united communities of all races.
    New Government must be FAIR to all races called Bangsa Malaysia. Cabinet Ministers dont be self-fish to have a narrow minded and racist mind but to have an open mind of all races if Malaysia want to progress forward. Taking care of entire nation is paramount in a borderless world.
    MALAYSIANS SUPPORT DATO ZAID IBRAHIM, LAW MINISTER TO ABOLISH DRAGONIAN LAW OF ISA AND FREE OUR BELOVED LADY POLITICIAN, TERESA KOK AND BELOVED BLOGGER, RAJA PETRA FOR THEIR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TODAY.
    ONE NATION, ONE DREAM, ONE RACE – WE ARE MALAYSIANS
    HAPPY NATIONAL DAY – 916 NEW MALAYSIA TODAY
    SELAMAT BERPUASA & HAPPY MOONCAKE FESTIVAL
    BANGSA RAKYAT MALAYSIA – MELAYU, CINA, INDIA , BUMIPUTRA ORANG ASLI – HIDUP MALAYSIA

  174. Assalamualaikum Tun & Keluarga..
    Ya betul Tun. Saya adalah salah seorang dari warga Putrajaya, walaupun saya berada di luar, tapi keluarga saya berada di sana.Jelas nampak perbezaan semasa Tun memerintah dengan keadaan sekarang. Zaman Tun, Putrajaya memang meriah tapi selepas Tun meninggalkan kerajaan, Putrajaya memang malap. Jadi apa yang dimaksudkan oleh Pak Lah yang dia mengatakan dia banyak kerja yang nak dilakukan? Bohong betul la Mr. Clean yang memang tak Clean ni.
    Ok Tun, salam perantau untuk Tun & keluarga serta rakyat Malaysia amnya. Sesungguhnya rakyat Malaysia amat menyampah dengan Pak Lah, tapi nampaknya tak faham-faham orang tua tu.
    Wsalam Tun.

  175. Kepada semua wira dan wirawati negara, selamat menyambut Hari Angkatan Tentera Melayu Di-Raja Malaysia ke 75 kali. Jasa dan bakti mu senantiasa dikenang dan dihargai. Terima kasih.

  176. Tun;
    Kenapa tak ada satu pun pemimpin negara yang mampu memberi ULASAN2 yang KERAS,TEGAS,BERTENAGA bagi mematahkan komen2 Anwar.
    Ini semua lembik ,berlapik2 .Tak nampak BN bersatu dalam hal ini .Semua sendiri2 komen. LEMBIKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
    Mana keris UMNO dulu .. dalam dewan bole leee..mana syarahan yang berkobar2 dulu.. mana UMNO dulu ..HILANG!!!!!!!!! rasuah ,kaki ampu ,kaki mahu kenyang sediri, corupt dan tah apa2 lagi.
    Harap PBS jee yang ada UMMPPP sikit . Kalu mahu lompat declare kawasan yang dimenangi mesti ada pilihanraya semula . Biar rakyat yang tentukan.

  177. Salam TUN
    I must admit that Putrajaya is one of your greatest ‘masterpiece’ – lively during d daylight but dull n deserted after working hours. Dalam hal ni, you’re not the one to be blammed sepenuhnya. Tun dah lontarkan idea hebat ini, bangunkan Putrajaya dan sekarang terpulang kpd yg sedang ‘berkuasa’ untuk meneruskan aspek pemantauan dan ‘maintenace’ of this great city.
    Masalahnya skrang: adakah regime AAB ni akan memantau dan mengambil tindakan sewajarnya menambahbaik sebarang masalah atau kekurangan yg timbul (kalau depa memantau) ATAU biaq saja masalah tersebut untuk menjadi lebih teruk supaya akhirnya umum akan menyalahkan tuan punya idea asal aka TUN sendiri?
    Zaman TUN, umum mengenali Putrajaya sebagai Pusat Pentadbiran yg hebat dengan senibina dan aspek kemudahan ‘state of the arts’ TAPI zaman AAB ni umum melihat Putrajaya sebagai pusat pentadbiran regime yg ditadbir oleh ‘Tingkat 4’ yg penuh dgn aspek tipu muslihat dan korupsi yg semakin mekar berkembang?!!
    Just my 2-cent hipotesis:
    Perancangan hebat + Pelaksanaan hebat = Pembangunan hebat (mampan)
    Perancangan tak berapa hebat + Pelaksanaan hebat = Pembangunan yang boleh jadi hebat
    Perancangan hebat + Pelaksanaan teruk = Pembangunan ‘kemaruk’
    Perancangan Tingkat 4 + Pelaksana AMNO = Hancur Negara…
    Anyway, Sejahtera ke atas TUN sekeluarga.

  178. Salam,
    I was hoping that Putajaya would be conceived as an “Urban Village” whereby administrative, residential, commercial and retail would co-exist within a certain heavily landscaped radius. This would create bubbles of community within walking distance, being environmental friendly through cutting down vehicular traffic, and improving social interraction whilst creating a vibrant atmosphere be it day or night. This is quite unorthodox as opposed to the current zoning system which produces a rather rigid intangible boundary that demarkates activities at different periods of the day. Well, just wanted to share with you what would’ve been nice and unique.

  179. Putrajaya is dull. Most of it is because commercials are not allowed to build night entertainment activities since the government fears for any vice activities. (Even though, there are many vice activities going on in the streets of Putrajaya).
    Not that i am allowing any vice activities, but commercial for night entertainment for expats (who live or work in Cyberjaya) as well as local should be allowed. That means allowing karaoke, restaurants and pubs and cinemas. I think people are dying for those consistent activities especially the non malays.
    Enough of a few malay concerts here and there officiated by the PM with all govt officials….etc. We would like to see someone not dull for once.

    SEOLAH OLAH APABILA LAWAT PUTRAJAYA TERINGAT KAN TUN.
    SAMPAI CADANGAN UNTUK MENGHUBUNGKAN PUTRAJAYA DENGAN LRT PUN DI BATAL.
    HAIRAN LAH TUN.MANUSIAKAN TUN SUKA BERDENDAM,BETUL TUN KATA PASAL SATU NYAMUK KELAMBU NAK DI BAKAR.
    TUN JAGA KESIHATAN WE NEED YOU. INSHAALLAH

  183. tun, this is a very good entry from u!
    but, please help me to explain to all non-malays that think malays are also ‘pendatang’ like them (before merdeka ye..kang tak pasal2 aku kena ISA!). they said, the origins of tanah melayu are the orang asli who should get the privilages, not malays as we are the same like them..i know this might be off-topic, but this arguement keeps circulating in my mind..
    waiting for your answer, sir.

  184. Anwar Ibrahim bakal menghancur negara ini. Cita2 nya untuk menjadi PM akan dilakukan dengan apa cara sekalipun walaupun terpaksa main “PINTU BELAKANG”.Dengan bantuan dan nasihat Yahudi dia melakar plan dan kaedah untuk mengambil alih kepimpinan negara ini . Percaya disebabkan itu negara ini bakal dilelong ke AS dan Yahudi kerana negara ini begitu strategik dari segi ekonomi dan ketenteraan. Ia mesti dilakukan segera kerana Anwar ditekan oleh anasir jahat ini dan juga kerana dia tidak mahu masuk penjara kali kedua.
    Keadaan ini dibantu oleh kepimpinan UMNO yang KORUP ,pemimpin bahagian yang penuh dengan rasuah dan ahli2 UMNO yang tidak bermaya.
    Dicampur pula keadaan BN yang kelihatan begitu tegang dan bercelaru.
    Kalau “Anwar Belakang” berjaya menubuhkan kerajaan bukan kerana sokongan rakyat tetapi kerana kegagalan pemimpin hari ini.Tidak nampak satu muka pun yang bergitu bersungguh2 menentang Anwar.Semuanya penakut …….!!!!!!.

  185. In my opinion, and the cause/root of this problem was blueprint of the whole project.
    As what we learnt in engineering school, the basic of all projects (regardless of electrical/mechanical/civil/architecture/town planning) is : the project shall be studied/planned/modeled according to a set of criterias/visions/aspiration of designer/owner. Only if the the study/plan meet them, then the project is executed.
    These must be studied thoroughly and modified/perfected/scrutinized by various experts until there’s no flaw (eg, on basic issues such as primary infrastructure, zoning of area, expected population, future development of sophiscated mode of transportation once a a defined target is achieved, backup plans, study of possible functions underground routes, etc) which in turn shall be the “absolute authority/reference”, which only minor changes are applied once executed.
    Thus, the “dull putrajaya after work” is a blueprint problem. execution is based on blueprint.
    One example is Washington D.C. The city was designed and most buildings/roads that runs today are still adhering to its original design.
    Paris is compact; Buildings are built next to each, in fact, built literally next to each others, made of 4 or 5 storey buildings housing apartments & commercial within most part of the city. It will be impossible to achieve Paris with current Putrajaya due to the site is not designed for that purpose.

  186. Dear Tun,
    I have just 1 comment on the Boulevard, Putrajaya; the traffic lights. There are too many traffic lights and t-juntions along the boulevard which causing traffic jams during peak hours. I just think that we don’t need too many junctions that separated each buildings as this will create a long queue of vehicles. Maybe it was purposely designed this way to prevent speeding but it’s really irritating to stop on each quarter of kilometre. This is just my 2 cents. Anyway, Putrajaya is already a success. Have a great day Tun.

  187. slm tun,
    after all being said n done, history will judge u as one of the greatest malay leader if not the greatest, n putrajaya will stood as a monument of your achievement, the malaysian, specifically the malay achievement.. that’s is if its not being pawned by the stupid JOKER with a delusion of grandeur.
    looking at our current situation n if the stars are not lined-up properly for the malays, history in their sorrows will lament this day how we can let such a dwaf, a wannabe of a leader, let us be whipping boys, sell our dignity and our rights, n refuse to listen to a giant among them.
    tun u make the right step to comeback to umno, i believe the bozos in the supreme council will wise up this time n will not cause trouble with your application. tun, lead the way, make things right.
    wslm

    mat loban orang kampung

  188. Asslamualaikum Tun,
    Putrajaya memang cantik, kemas…. banyak taman-taman yang cantik dan indah. Tapi sayang, bukan di waktu malam saje tak idup… pagi yang indah juga tak dinikmati oleh orang ramai. kami satu family dulu selalu pergi taman di waktu pagi… hampir semuanya telah dilawati (termasuk kawasan-kawasan yang dilarang……sebab best). Malangnya setiap kali kami pergi… boleh dibilang berapa sangat yang datang…berbanding dengan taman tasik perdana atau taman tasik titiwangsa, atau paling-paling tidak pun berbanding dengan Taman Metropolitan Kepong (lagi ramai walaupun baru dibuka).
    Selalunya lepas jogging orang nak makan/minum, tapi kemudahan-kemudahan macam tu tak disediakan. Patut diambil langkah untuk mempromosi tempat yang menarik tuh….
    Tapi ingat kalau dah pergi tu…. sama-sama lah kita jaga kebersihan dan keindahannya.

  189. Assalamualaikum yg bbahagia dan disanjungi Ayahnda Tun dan Bonda.
    Cek duk tunggu nak makan soq satgi, dan kut tulih dua tiga perenggan!
    Dear Tun,
    Putrajaya’s a classic thing, indeed that no one really cares about continuing your great ideas into greater pictures. My late father (was a great fan of you!) and I used to discuss your brilliant braiwaves and notions about how Malaysians should be working, starting with orchestrating the time for both semenanjung, sabah and sarawak. no doubt most people found it very confusing, frustrating at first but later they learnt to appreciate the move. Then you honed on punctuality( your famous punch card!) and now people improve on it by having finger-flex or touch-card, etcetera…intergrity and honesty flashed by name tag as endosed and practised by you first in showing example; the look east policy, the buy Malaysian Made and buy British last; too many great little things to more sophisticated features that people outside have taken you as a remarkable leader of the period. It’s a shame thing that now many top-guns ignore your great visions….
    One very regretful thing i see now that a certain group of people who claimed to represent the people is busy lobbying the government to take a u-turn on the Science and Maths teaching. My worry is that we can never mend more damaging conditions of our children’s future if we fail to see the needs of continuing using English as the means of delivery…
    Yang cek heran tu pasai apa tak mau hantaq cikgu2 pakar, cemerlang lagi terbilang tu ke sekolah2 kampung? awat yg duk lunggok cikgu2 pakar ni di sekolah bandaq, sekolah berasrama penuh, sekolah2 elit, sekolah2 kawalan yg kita tau budak2 di sinun tak payah dok tekan kejan depa nak guna bahasa inggeris hari2 pasai depa memang dah pandai sebab terpilih. ramai kawan2 cek duk habaq cikgu2 yg mengajaq bahasa inggeris di sekolah2 budak2 bijak tu, mcm ‘makan angin’ masa bahasa inggeris sebab budak2 dah cayaq sangat dah. jadi, ada baiknya hantaq la cikgu2 ni ke sekolah2 luaq bandaq yg amat2 kritikal memerlukan depa dan takdak cikgu bahasa inggeris hinggakan ada yg kena ‘guna’ ustaz-ustazah dan cikgu2 bukan tesl mengajaq bahasa inggeris! tak heran la kalau Science & Mathematics budak2 hancus!!!
    ni bukan salah sekolah, cikgu atau budak2 sekolah kampung semata-mata tp kementerian kena buat sesuatu tentang ketiadaan guru2 berkenaan di sana. ada sekolah di bandaq cikgu bahasa inggeris sampai lebih kuota, sampai lebih 30,40 org pun ada, ada yg duk mengajaq pjk, seni, sivik, moral dan m/pelajaran selain bahasa inggeris pun belambak. kebanyakkan bini org2 kenamaan, bini org2 koperat, bini2 peniaga2 besaq yg sepatutnya tak payah kerja jadi cikgu pun…saja nak isi masa lapang gamaknya. cek tak kata SEMUA depa ni lagu tu tp dah banyak bukti. cuba pi ‘check’ sekolah2 elit di AStaq ka, KBharu ka, KL gerenti dah; gerenti ramai cikgu ala2 mak datin pesen besantai nih! ada jugak guna depa ni bagi sekolah-utk cari derma ka, lobi jpn nak dapat anugerah ka, hapa2 ja la. sekali lagi cek kata BUKAN SEMUA no? tapi ramai jugak la duk ada, orag kata….
    dearest Tun,
    sorry i insist on other topics but i could figure that things would become worse if we let thing resolved by itself! how could one not see the needs of English at this time? mind you, many of our children will pursue education overseas, so if they are not equipped with the knowledge of the language in these important subjects, how are they going to excell in future? and those who learn in local higer institutions still need english to folow lectures especially from foreign doctrates!
    yang cek heran lagi, org2 yg duk gemboq kata tak payah guna bahasa inggeris ni, rata2 depa hantaq anak2 depa ke sekolah terbaik mcm ‘International School’ utk bagi anak depa pandai bahasa inggeris!!! sebab tu depa tak kisah kalau anak2 di sekolah kampung tak dapat ilmu mcm anak2 depa dapat. sebetoinya, DEPA TAK PEDULIK PUN!!!! depa sendiri ada yg mengaji luaq negara, dah jd terlalu bijak sampai nak berhentikan apa yg baik dari Tun dulu. cek rasa depa ni saja nak beli jiwa pm & penasihat peribadi dia. nak suruh orag kata apa yg Tun buat ni nampak tak bijak, pada hal depa yg bodo-sombong, tak mau tanya cerdik pandai yg lain, tak mau cuba baiki keadaan tapi nak undoq 20 tahun kebelakang!!! haprak punya org!
    Dearest Tun,
    time is running but none has made clever movements like you did. May Putrajaya become what you dream of becoming in future. (Hoping that 2 of my children, one engineer-2-be, another architect in the making, can become part of the future workforce to develop this beloved country!!) i pray to Allah that grant you with health and astute mind, that you will keep writing so that i can keep reading!!!
    Wassalam…

    I presumed your ideas are too ADVANCED FOR THE SLOW LEARNERS.
    It is either somebody cannot COPE UP with your ideas or trying
    to SABOTAGE your ideas.
    Semoga Ayahanda dan Bonda selalu di dalam limpahan Rahmat ALLAH

  191. Sorry Tun wrong topic..but it tourmenting my head..is it true you r going tu join UMNO ? How about Pak Lah ? He Need to resign first right?

  192. yes it would be nice to have a city version of KLCC, business and leisure in one superb area. perhaps they should attract more shops by providing attractive benefits like they did in cyberjaya for technology companies.
    alamanda putrajaya is a good mall but it’s way out from the attractive and centralized putrajaya main complex.
    I think now if implemented people would go – a nice change compared to going to central kl. bring the family for dinner or support, walking along the nice stretch of pavements, catching a movie or even drive in movie (this one pak haji will be busy carrying out checks la).
    the young would make their way if there’s a platform for them to perform (because now in kl, these kids will attend gigs held in dark places) because it’s hard to find open space which can be allowed to do such performances. Sure, sometime people say perangai tak senonoh – but then again we were all young (yup ppl are hypocrites-they always say bebudak skarang teruk) but the truth is they are in the process of becoming matured and this is how kids in their time are doing it. sure there will be sacrifices here and there but life ain’t perfect. opppss going overboard on the youth stuff sorry.
    Why not have a stretch of fast food outlets – local international – i think most of us can afford that rather than dining at places like the curve – that one only the kaya one can go la. The Curve Putrajaya – ok pe bunyi tu. heh….

  193. Salam Dr M,
    There are some snarky remarks and backhanded compliments about the state of Putrajaya. The shortcomings of Putrajaya is not his fault. As can be seen in point 5, 10 and 11, the good doctor already perceived the problems during the constructions of the city and voiced his concerns.It’s not his faults the bureaucrats choose to ignore him. What do expect him to do? As it, people called him a tyrant and tried to micromanaged everything. Damn if you do, damn if you don’t.
    As for the parking problems, Putrajaya was suppose to be built in conjunction with a well planned public transportation. People was suppose to go everywhere by public transportation and leave their cars at home. That’s why there are no enough parking spaces. Those from outside the city was suppose to ride in using the LRT.
    Then some frigging idiot at the top declared it to be part of the mega projects and waste of money, thereby canceling it.
    After his publicised ride in the local public transportation system, everything will be revived, albeit at a much higher cost with his family getting the bulk of the multibillions contract.
    Funny, if you look back in the day, there were a lot of harsh word thrown at the LRT projects, white elephant and waste of money comes to mind. The lack of volume of users then does’nt seem to justify it. Now, ten years later there’s not enough to go around. Kudos on Dr M foresight, he seems to see things decades in advance while the rest of of us cannot see the end of our batang hidung.
    Sir, I salute You.
    PS, really would have liked to see what Jambatan Bengkok would have done for us.

  194. Dear Tun
    I read the Putrajaya blog where you had hopes of it being in the same standing and talked off in the same breath as Paris or something similar. This was following the blog of malay and malaysian unity.
    SIR. How can you be so blaise about photo oportunities in Putrajaya when you chose to be silent and condone that congenitial cretin toyo ( a first generation pendatang indon domiciled in Malaysia and the epitome of coruption.) who fabricates a blatant lie about Y.B Kok with the sole intent of causing racial strife and chaos. I hope this piece of gutter trash toyo is exposed for what he is. Or is is the value of his website called pembelamelayu.com worth the sacrifice of truth.
    Dear Tun Please disassociate yourself from this piece of flotsom
    that drifted from the other side of the Malacca Straits
    MANY MALAYSIANS ARE LOOKING FOR A SEMBLANCE OF LEADERSHIP from you.

  195. salam Tun

    “……..How do you feel being treated like a dog in your own country?”
    crazyidiot, the ‘CRAZY’ dogs in this country should consider themselves lucky. They bark, they bite, they shit and most likely they would just end-up at the pound (ISA detention camp).
    True they would miss their loved ones and friends but not the meals.
    In the long run they could still wag their tails.
    But if they behaved like this in some other countries, they would end up eating bullets. So they should not push their luck too far, even in Malaysia!

  198. Assalam Br Tun Mohamad Mahatir,
    Putrajaya is a vision for a great nation, if you have the eyes to see it and the brain to understand it
    when i first arrived in Malaysia about 4 years back, i’ve learned a lot from discussions with taxi drivers, i heard good and bad things about Putrajaya and other mega projects… but not enough to understand Putrajaya and look beyond the first impression of extravagance…
    but then with the years i started to see Putrajaya in a different context, melt with other projects and their impacts on the country:
    – KLIA
    – KLCC
    – North South High Way
    – Putrajaya
    – CyberJaya
    – Labuan
    – The unfortunate crooked bridge and the strategic position of Johor
    And i came to understand better,
    Why KLIA ? It’s also a mega project, but then, how do you want to be on the international Map with Subang International Airport ? Sames goes to Sepang F1, Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur appears in the world map.
    It is an asset for the country.
    Why KLCC ? It is in the same idea, KLCC and Petronas Twin Towers are more than just majestic buildings, it’s a symbol, a sign for the world to show that Malaysia can do it “Boleh”, a sign i hope for it’s people so that they realize we can make great things…
    So i reach the conclusion that yes, Putrajaya is a waste of money, an exaggerated “grandeur”…. Only If it was alone on a flat country, but the thing is that it’s not just Putrajaya its PutraJaya + KLIA + CyberJaya + MSC + KLCC + Sepang F1 + this and that and all this is a “V6 Engine” for Malaysia.
    The World is a fast “Highway”, how do you intend to drive your country in this high speed way and you go equipped with a Kancil Engine ? (no offense to the brand though, it’s about engine potential)
    Of course the Kancil engine is cheaper, consumes less petrol but it won’t bring you far enough or fast enough, and you will be looking at Singapore and other countries as if they left you behind and the only thing you will be able to catch is the dust left in the air by their fast wheels….
    So maybe Putrajaya seems too big or maybe i should say people think it’s too big, but now it’s here already so what ever one can think it’s a discussion of the past, now the the problem is how to make the best use of PutraJaya, how to give it the extra life and not let it be a ghost town at night.
    When i drive in PutraJaya i feel i’m in Barcelona but without the Barcelona overwhelming people.
    Now why is PutraJaya so Empty after government office hours ? I personally won’t go live there. Why ? because it’s not convenient, transportation, food, shops, activities, entertainment, no pasar malam 🙂 and This is exactly what our great leader Dr Mohamad suggests. I’m not even Malaysian, i’m from France, but i can’t find any common points with our Megaloman President.
    Most of the leaders of the nations serve the interests of the lobbies or the benefits of an elite that plays the financial strings… nothing for the people, nothing for the nation, our western democracy is a scam !
    And here in Malaysia all this mega projects they are left to the nation to you and your brothers and sisters and more importantly to the next generation, it’s a gift, and an asset and yet so many people don’t even want to make use of it let alone recognize the importance that it had in the development of the nation.
    I have to stop writing sorry for this long message, my point is let’s stop complaining about Putrajaya being good or not a good project/idea, and let’s make use of it, it’s here already, we just need to give it a bit more life.
    And Dr Mahatir, you are right, because “Les Champs Elysees” without all the café, terrace, restaurants, lights food and smells… will not be so active and so charming especially by night. And Malaysia is all about food, so let’s put some nice cheap and good food and ice cream and deserts on the Boulevard 🙂 And for the Chinese and Indians or foreigners to come in we need to have some business to do down there… So let’s put some business opportunities, some schools and some fun.
    Why not making PutraJaya a “tax free” zone for some specific areas and specific activities ?
    Selamat Buka Puasa
    Muhamad

  202. Yang Berhormat Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad,
    assalamualaikum Tun, saya merasakan bahawa tanpa Tun, tiadalah Putrajaya kerana Tun lah yang mengilhamkan Putrajaya pada zaman pentadbiran Tun di saat Tun menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang paling menonjol dan banyak membangunkan Malaysia. Saya sungguh terharu apabila Putajaya diberi nama berdasarkan Allahyarham Tunku Abdul Rahman. Putra means as son and jaya means as excellent or success. Fungsi Putrajaya sebagai pusat pentadbiran kerajaan persekutuan. Semua bangunan, office-office kerajaan semuanya rekaan berkonsepkan Islam, dan semuanya cantik. Saya tidak pernah merasakan Putrajaya sebagai projek besar yang membazir. Tidak. Tapi sedih juga kerana banyak kemudahan-kemudahan tapi pabila waktu malam, lengang semacam. Sunyi sahaja. Nak dibezakan dengan Kota paris, sungguh berbeza. Tapi tidak mustahil suatu ketika nanti Putrajaya dikenali di mata dunia selain Kuala Lumpur. saya memohon maaf kalau saya terkasar bahasa dan ingin mengucapkan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa kepada Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dan Datin Dr Siti Hasmah. Teringat sejenak seketika apabila saya melihat kad raya yang Tun hantar kepada ayah saya. Ayah saya masih menyimpannya dengan rapi. Wassalam.

  203. Salam Tun…
    So far I’ve been twice to the Putrajaya, When I asked my friend to go there again, he said boring lah its nothing new to see there..
    Then I remember you Tun , I said if Tun Mahathir still as PM, absolutely he does something more on putrajaya as it now dull. Me I call it a dead Paradise. its only lighting to make it live at night. So pity ..
    Tun what happening, its so many things going on now. Seem everyday we read some funny story by Pak Lah Administration. Laters , Zahid Ibrahim submit resignation , who then ask Muhyidden to resign from the Cabinet . Its never happened before amongs the cabinet members to comment each other . its now happened ..so embarrassing to Umno.
    I was admired as a Malaysian and Umno members before . unfortunetly its all finished. Hope another mahathir for chapter 2 will arise soon .. God bless

  204. Pada hari ini Tun, tanggal 16 Sept 08. Putrajaya tinggal nama. Bila siang dipenuhi pekerja kerajaan bekerja. Bila mala menjelma, hanya unggas yang berleluasa. Siang terang benderang, malam menjelma gelap gelita. Suasana suram tidak seperti dahulu. Suasana begitu ceria. Pembangunan dikatakan membazir, tetapi jika biarkan begitu sahaja dengan tiada jagaan sempurna tidak pula dikatakan begitu.
    Alasan perbelanjaan berhemat tetapi dibazirkan ditempat yang lain. Fikiran yang singkat tidak kehadapan menjadi punca.
    Tun, kembali lah semula. Katakan lah pembangunan yang Tun buat ini ada masa depannya. Jikalau tidak pemimpin angkuh tersebut akan kerap kali mengatakan tidak kepada apa yang Tun katakan dan laksanakan.
    Kami ingin hidup dengan sempurna Tun, hidup aman damai bersama jiran-jiran kami yang berlainan bangsa yang kami anggap selama ini sebagai saudara kami juga. Tetapi ada anasir-anasir halus cuba memporak perandakan kami Tun.
    Semoga panjang umur dan diberkati Allah Tun kami doakan.

  205. Dear Tun
    Putrajaya is a superb govt administrative building its a long
    term project I am sure given time the place will be lively
    what we need now is a another great leader to come and carry on
    your excellent ideas.
    To all the billion & millionaires I am sure you can light up the
    place at night.
    Keep on writing tun we are listening and take care….

  206. dear ayahanda Tun,
    Hope u and yr family dalam keadaan yang sihat dan sejahtera.
    Bercakap tentang Boulevard Putrajaya, saya merupakan salah seorang maintenance technician yg agak pioneer di dalam menyelia kerja-kerja penyelenggaraan di Boulevard Putrajaya.Saya merupakan seorang profesional dengan Landscape Architecture background dan bertanggungjawab di dalam penyelengaraan Landskap di Boulevard Presint 2 hingga ke Presint 4.
    I tell u dear Tun,saya berasa bangga bertugas disini.Tetapi saya amat bersetuju dengan pendapat Tun yang mengatakan Putrajaya (khasnya di Boulevard) merupakan bandar yang membosankan.
    Kebosanan (saya bercakap dalam aspek Landskap) kadang kala disebabkan oleh kerenah birokrasi oleh pihak tertentu di di dalam kerja-kerja menaik taraf landskap di situ.Sebagai contoh,saya tidak nampak konsep yang jelas di dialam pembangunan di Boulevard,kerana kebanyakan rekabentuknya tidak achieved target sebagai design yg Functional.
    Adalakalanya pemilihan tanaman dan pokok juga (mungkin oleh pihak consultant) yang sekadar ‘syok sendiri’ dan akhirnya tanaman tidak dapat hidup dengan subur.
    Saya amat bersetuju dengan pendapat Tun tentang ketiadaan pusat-pusat komersial di Boulevard.Nak cari petrol station pun we have to travel 2 kilos from boulevard!and during night time only few bunch of people datang melawat ke sini..why?because there is nothing to do accept looking each other,chit chat bla bla bla..and always end up at mamak stalls.
    anyway dear Tun,i would love to tour u around boulevard and show u around!it always be my pleasure to meet u dear Tun..!
    do email me ayahanda Tun!,[email protected]
    selamat berpuasa and salam hari raya buat Tun sekeluarga!

  207. Salam TUN,
    Setiap kali orang memperkatakan tentang mercu tanda negara, pro dan kontra akan kedengaran dan yang pasti rakyat menerima semuanya mengikut rentak yang berbeza. Sewaktu menuntut di UKM, saya berkesempatan mengunjungi PUTRAJAYA pertama kalinya pada tahun 2000 dan ketika itu pembinaan di setiap sudut dapat disaksikan dengan senyuman dan perasaan bangga pada setiap pengunjung. Terima Kasih atas kewibawaan TUN yang menjadikan generasi akan datang menghargai dan menikmati cetusan idea seorang PEMIMPIN dan NEGARAWAN ULUNG seperti TUN bukan sahaja atas dasar kestabilan pentadbiran tetapi pembangunan yang terlaksana semasa TUN menerajui kepimpinan negara.
    Kini, jelas sekali warga MALAYSIA merasakan betapa lesunya rentak yang dimainkan oleh namanya PEMIMPIN masa kini yang tidak ke mana. Masa telah mampu memantulkan beliau sebagai PM yang mewakili masyarakat majmuk di Malaysia SEKIRANYA ITU KEBENARAN YANG NYATA namun sesungguhnya TIDAK. Saya sebagai rakyat biasa mampu menilai tanpa bersandar kepada mana-mana perjuangan pihak tertentu dan rasionalnya tindakan TUN mengkritik kepimpinan sekarang yang langsung tidak prihatin terhadap banyak ISU dalam negara.
    Saya percaya dari semula TUN telah memaksa kudrat untuk bangkit menegur segala macam ketidaktentuan dalam pentadbiran negara atas dasar TANGGUNGJAWAB yang sesungguhnya MURNI demi kepentingan BANGSA MALAYSIA. Orang banyak bertanya logik di sebalik kritikan TUN secara terbuka terhadap pemerintahan yang ada sekarang, keluarnya TUN daripada UMNO dan kini ura-ura media melaporkan pula hasrat TUN kembali semula ke dalam UMNO. Apapun yang telah dan akan berlaku, saya percaya semua perjuangan TUN lakukan bagi NEGARA BANGSA jauh sekali dendam dan kepentingan peribadi.
    Bagi pemimpin di luar sana yang PENGECUT; apakah anda telah berpuas hati meletakkan nilai perjuangan anda adalah setakat menjaga kepentingan setiakawan dalam parti daripada KESEJAHTERAAN BANGSA? apakah ada masa yang paling sesuai untuk anda SEIRINGAN dengan TUN mendesak perubahan kepimpinan?
    Sisa hidup TUN ternyata bukan mencari kepentingan peribadi, dan isu PUTRAJAYA yang beliau bangkitkan memperlihatkan betapa pedulinya TUN akan keharmonian rakyat pelbagai kaum supaya dapat hidup aman dan harmoni dalam satu kelompok. HIDUP TUN…

  208. Salam Tun,
    I was involved in the construction of the Putra Mosque,Dataran Putra and Putra bridge.These cost of these projects were far above the consultants estimates.Two of the projects were given to Paremba and the mosque was given to Binladin.
    These must have made your beloved Tun Daim some of his pocket money..
    To claim ignorace is ashame!
    To built Putrajaya is noble but to enrich your cronies at the expense of the poor taxpayers is regretable.Construction project has been used by politician to enrich themselves thru price escalation.May they be happy with their monies!

  209. Dearest Tun,
    I suppose you are only speaking your mind on what has become of Putrajaya. I am however surprised that you included the phrase that there are no indians or chinese living there. Forgive me but do you intend to say something between the lines? During these strained times when almost every word is scrutinised by those who wish ill towards you perhaps this can be misunderstood. I sincerely hope that it is not your intention to focus on issues of race when indeed the entire nation is teetering on the brink of mismanagement of the highest order. All Malaysians, regardless of race must be equally committed to ensure the independence and that Malaysia endures and progresses through the trying years ahead. I am sure you of all our leaders realise this. I am as much a Malay as the next person but I do not see the use of emphasising race where it is not warranted. Wassalam Tun. I have the utmost respect for you and I only wish our current leaders have half the vision you showed during your administration.

  210. Chedet,
    Putrajaya is dull because the govt servants’ pay is low and malays in general are poor. Just look at Shah Alam, a bastion of Malay. They have malls but nowhere as lively and colorful as those in PJ and central KL.
    One zany solution is to bring some part of Bank Negara (maybe a few depts like economics, they dont have to stay close to KL, unlike the bank supervisors who have to remain close to the commercial bank HQs) into Putrajaya. Their staff have a better racial mix (just look at the senior mgmt list in the annual report), and i think they are generally paid more than a normal civil servant, with the exception of maybe Khazanah.
    My 2 sen.

    Yes I agree with someone’s comment that why make it a malay kampong and not a malaysian kampong in Putrajaya.We can’t deny purchasing power here amongst the races.Make it a chinatown,indian town and a malay town then all the races will have no qualms about frequenting it.A malay environment will be too limited for everyone to enjoy.Look at Paris as you say.They have the latin quarters,greek restaurants and algerian and tunisian quarters too.A blend of culture and races.Forget about how old historically Paris is.We can do it in the right spirit of having a true malaysian showpiece in Putrajaya.All the upmarket restaurants will not be frequented by the malays because its somewhat alien to them.They prefer mamak stalls where thay can tapau back home.You have done a great job of Putraja.But it takes a bigger creative honest ‘mind’to see it through which is not happening now.I live in Langkawi and am dissapointed that it is the most boring tourist destination.Nothing is happening at Telaga harbour or for that matter anywhere.The day you stepped down Langkawi went dead.The silly fools rejected Mukhriz in the last election .Stupidos I must say.I think the malays there should go back and plant rice instead of enjoying the benefits of tourism which YOU made it possible.When it comes to voting for the govnt. they rejected you & your son and choosed someone who can mesmerise them with entertaining political promises.
    Tun don;t get me wrong,I am a malay who is so dissapointed with my kind.Putrajay needs to open up to other races too to make it vibrant.Langkawi’s Pantai Cenang is populated with restaurants by other cultures and races too.That’s why it’s still happening at a moderate scale.If you leave it to the malays it will be dead by maghrib prayers!Maybe Putrajaya should be leased to a private company to solve the problem of a ghost administrative town. what a shame TUN!!!All your hardwork and vision will fade into oblivion if we don’t do something about it.Get Mukhriz back to Langkawi otherwise it’ll suffer the same fate – the sinking island
    destination.
    May you be in the best of health always to give us your wisdom.
    Salam.

  213. Yang Amat Berbahagia Tun,
    Apabila Apai berkunjung ke Putrajaya, pertama kali yang terlintas di kepala Apai ialah wajah Tun yang telah menaikkan semangat dan mertabat Apai sebagai rakyat Malaysia di bawah Tun.
    Teringat Apai bila berkunjung di Washington DC dan menikmati pemandangan yang bersih dan tersusun walaupun tidak dipenuhi dengan pencakar langit.
    Yang istimewanya Putrajaya ialah ia menpunyai identiti yang tersendiri dan unik disegi reka cipta bangunannya. Malangnya seperti yang dikatakan oleh Tun, kehidupan malamnya amat sunyi walaupun diterangi oleh lampu lampu bak di Paris.
    Yang masih menyulitkan Apai bila berkunjung ke Putrajaya ialah Tanda arah jalan menuju keluar ke KL Putrajaya Highway. Walaubagaimanapun, Apai sentiasa kagum dengan visi Tun yang tiada tolak bandingnya. Harap harap Pak Lah atau Najib atau sesiapa yang menjadi PM selepas Tun tidak terlepas pandang dengan saranan Tun ini.
    Bagi pandangan Apai:
    Jikalah Putrajaya meriah diwaktu malam entah bagaimana seronoknya..
    Jikalah Putrajaya sentiasa dikunjungi pelancong luar dan dalam berapa bagusnya….
    Jikalah Putrajaya dipenuhi dengan aktibiti ekonomi betapa untungnya…
    Jikalah Putrajaya senang di kunjungi dengan penangukutan awam betapa mudahnya…
    Jikalah Putrajaya di perintah oleh pemimpin yang berwibawa betapa hormatnya…
    Jikalah Putrajaya diiktiraf sebagai “the eight wonders of the world” betapa banganya…
    Semoga Putrajaya akan terus Jaya..Jaya..Jaya..Jaya dan Jaya
    Apai always salute you Tun

  214. Assalamualaikom w.b.t.
    1) Pasal bandaraya Amerika dengan kedai kopi di Perancis tu yg penting saya bukan akitek.
    2) Pasal air pancut dengan lampu tu saya suka sesangat kerana ia cantik.
    3) Kalau pasal bangunan tu yg saya tahu memang bangunannyaa canggih-canggih belaka.
    4) Tapi kenapa mesti sibuk dan bersantai juga Tun?

  215. Salam tokdet…
    Abg dol mana ada masa nak pikir benda2 ni semua tok, and Abg Dol takde masa nak maintain putrajaya, lagipun buat apa Abg Dol nak susah payah memikirkan benda2 ni semua, tak tercapai akalnya tok..
    Adalah lebih baik Abg Dol tido… Lagipun Abg Dol kan very busy man, ada banyak lagi kerja lain yang Abg Dol nak buat, nak Reform dah 5 tahun tok tak siap2 lagi… Takkan lah setakat nak maintain nak upgrade sikit Putrajaya pun Abg Dol nak kena pikir gak, mana ada masa!
    Projek-projek koridor Abg Dol yang serata Malaysia tu sapa nak oversee kalau bukan Abg Dol, lagi bagus Abg Dol monitor projek2 koridor ni semua tok, bukan orang lain punya pun, Abg Dol anak beranak jugak yang kenyang di kemudian hari…
    Salam tok,
    Peace…

  216. Assalammualaikum…….Tun
    this is my 1st time……for me Putrajaya is the best n the fastest develope area in malaysia.Thanks alot for yr briliance idea Tun.
    proud to be malaysian………anyway little doubt with recent leader.
    kenapa masih xmau beri laluan pada yg lain, setakat alasan nak laksanakan tugas negara yg belum selesai……x munasabah langsung!
    sedangkan tun rela berundur walaupun Wawasan 2020 belum tercapai.
    Tun boleh, kenapa Pak Lah tak boleh?…….sedangkan kita bangga dengan Malaysia Boleh!!!!!
    Selamat Berpuasa and Salam AidilFitri

  217. tun
    Tun haVE BUILT Putrajaya for the administration of the future leaders and it is an indeed a grand landmark that reflects the solid government of Malaysia.We dont have to sell our pride for the foreigners at least. Pak LAh came up with the idea of building Iskandariah,something mega during his time at least,his no of days numbered.But the idea of “giving our land” to Singaporean is not felt by mostly of us.No doubt they have to buy or invest the projects in Iskandariah, but it is always cheaper compared to their land reclaimation.Pak Lah is no where near the brain of Lee Kuan Yew.Only Tun can match the senior Lee.
    Anyway the conducive and nice environment in Putrajaya makes Pak Lah difficilt to leave and Anwar is dying for it.
    Well well well done Tun,I just wish you long life as we need someone is dynamic and super vision like you.Welcome back to UMNO and the Malaysian politics

  218. Dear Tun
    With respect, I wish I could share some of your regret about PutraJaya. However I cannot. Its way too far out of the way for me to go to on a regular basis.
    Having said that, I wish you and your beloved wife continued good health and a Happy Hari Raya.

  219. Salam Tun,
    I’m not quite sure how can u setting up the Putrajaya as the admistrative city. I spoke to the one of the Malaysian citizen who expert in economics and was graduated from Yale University. He said that the Putrajaya is one of ur failure in economy structure. It is very obvious that u spent too many budgets to build the Putrajaya but somehow it’s just look like others office building.
    Actually, for me Malaysia was built by one step of failure but we came to overcome the failure a bit by bit. Now, we have the developed country which respected by others around the world. It’s the same concept of Putrajaya. Even it’s a failure project when it came to night, but we can overcome it by repair it a bit by bit.
    Same goes to UMNO and BN, we are came from one family and it’s our responsibility to repair the UMNO and BN a bit by bit and not leave our family with all the mess and registered our name in others family which not with us among this 51 years of independence.
    I and my late father believe in u Tun. If u said that u cannot do anything to repair the Putrajaya and UMNO cases, then we are hopeless because you are the one who said we should not give up in defending our country.
    Forever will we be beside u Tun
    ‘Anak Jati Kedah’
    if possible, one day I wanted to became like u……

  220. Tun,
    I am a regular visitor to Putrajaya, and whenever I drive in ths city….I will always remember you…and please do not feel guilty about it…I am proud of it and one day, the city will come to life!
    Hidup Tun!

  221. Dear Tun
    One thing about Putrajaya (Government Office) is parking problems. Whenever i go to Putrajaya i without fail need to circle at least 2 times minimum to find an illegal parking spot. And it always remind me about lead by example….. how can all governmental related officers when visiting Putrajaya starts to break the law by parking illegally.
    The minister’s car is parked in front of his building and i suppose when he leave Putrajaya he will obviously see all the illegally parked car and …. dont the minister feel that something is terribly wrong?
    When i ask the security personnel, the answer is biasa la.
    If Tun has time, i propose Tun take a drive and look for yourself how not organize we can be. First class building with 3rd class system. Suggest to drive around building of MOHE, MOE, M of Health…. Enjoy.

  222. Salam Tun,
    Ive been to Putrajaya and its wonderful. Wonderful for a place of work but not for entertainment. What more can I say.
    Wassallam.

  223. Tun,
    Frankly, Im really never been to Putrajaya during at night. So how beautiful is Putrajaya during night time Im honestly do not know that. Im sure for somebody who is mastermined in build up Putrajaya knows better.
    Yes! I agreed with most of chedet readers it is absolutely a very gorgeous city. Yeah…….. nice city will be nothing if you not maintain it well. This are the thing that DSAAB faileddddddddddddddddddd

  224. Assalamualaikum tun,
    The Putrajaya is a must for sightseeing and it can be done as one of the beautifully attraction that Malaysia had. The last time I set my foot on Putrajaya is a few years ago, I have been touring for the day and night sightseeing. Sadly, the facilities is just not been used to the maximum of its capabilities. The night tour left some dead impression, bitter taste.. even on the day it just a place for work only. We just hope the Putrajaya development not stopping as it is now.. Anyway Tun, thanks for the development and your insight. It is very helpful and refreshing.
    Warm regards
    des

  225. Salam Tun dan Toh Puan,
    Apa yang di katakan oleh Tun ada benarnya…
    Kita bina bandar bukan untuk jadi Gajah Putih…
    Saya faham cita-cita Tun nak jadikan bandar yang ada pelbagai aktiviti dan riadah di setiap sudut…Menteri2 mengadakan jamuan makan di cafe2 dengan keluraga mereka …menghidupkan suasana bandar…nampak kecoh…nampak meriah…
    Apa dah jadi….? Pak Lah tak tahu nak buat apa…masuk kerja pukul 8 nak balik pukul 5…ptg ..tahu2 gaji masuk…projek untuk anak dan menantu dia masuk.
    Tun…saya ada melihat mereka nak menarik permerhati melihat bunga api di putra jaya tetapi tak tersusn…sesak sana sini…tak ckup ruang tempat letak kereta…
    Saya lihat menteri yang bertanggungjawab tidak aktif…
    sepatutunya menteri penerangan memainkan peranan menaikan imij Putrajaya di iklan dan iklan antarbangsa.
    Menteri keseniaan dan kebudayaan tarik penyanyi 2 artis2 luar negara membuat gala…muzik dan pemyampain hadian di Dewan putrajaya.
    Menteri pelancongan adakan promosi di luar negara terutama sekali di radio…tv. promesi melaysia di mata dunia.
    Menteri sukan adakan pelbagai aktiviti sukan lasak…pelbagai aktiviti di putrajaya…
    ini tidak senyap aje…mereka macam lembab lahhh…
    saya lihat mereka tak berani nak bersuara dan bertindak…
    malas nak cakap pemimpin yang degil dan tak mahu dengar nasihat org.
    dah kalah pilihanraya baru nak dengar….
    Kami nak Tun jadi PM semula…berkuasa semula.
    Kami nak Mukriz jadi PM …kami yakin Mukriz akan majukan Malaysia seperti ayahdenye..
    HIDUP TUN! HIDUP TUN! HIDUP TUN!

  226. Yang Dikasihi Tun & keluarga,
    Mungkin mood Putrajaya sekarang ni melambangkan Perdana Menteri kita.
    Semoga Tun, isteri & keluarga dirahmati Allah swt sentiasa. Amin.

  227. Meminjam kata kata Hikmah dari Ayahanda Tun:
    “I  do  not know how long the window of  strategic opportunity to our future will remain open.  But  I  do know  that  we will be failing our people, we  will  be betraying our future if we do not now grasp the moment.”
    Dato’ Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad

  228. Assalamulaikum TUN,
    Saya pernah melawat, mengikut rombongan dari Sinagapura dan berhenti sabentar untuk menunaikan solat Suboh di-Masjid Putrajaya,saya memang kagum dengan keindahan, pemandangan dan bangunan yang di-bina di sana dan juga sempat mengambil photo di-sana.Masaalah-nya sekarang ada-lah bagunan yang di-bina sudah tersergam indah,namun satelah TUN bersara tak de yang nak follow up…mereka2 yang berkenaan hanya tahu hendak duduk disana saja.. tak tahu nak memajukan saterus-nya..Tak boleh befikir langsung..
    Selamat berpuasa TUN dan isteri.

  229. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun, keluarga dan rakan=rakan di blog che det.
    1. Sejarah tidak boleh diubah, begitulah dengan Pembentukan Putrajaya daripada minda negarawan yang terlalu bijak dan tak tercapai akal oleh pemimpin yang ada kiniterutama AAB, jika bukan ayahanda Tun. Bukan untuk membodek tapi itu adalah kebenarannya.
    2. Saya cukup berbangga apabila melancong ke luar negara dan rakyat di sana turut rasa kagum dan terpesona dengan Putrajaya. Tapi pemimpin yang sedang duduk memerintah di Putrajaya seakan tutup mata atau sudah buta mata dengan apa yang ada di sana. Benda dah ada depan mata, maka buatlah penambahbaikan jika mampu, ini tak cuma tahu memunahkannya saja.
    3. Kita janganlah jadi Pak Kaduk, ayam menang kampung tergadai. Pak Lah dah kalah maka lekaslah mengalah sebelum cucut cicit sumpah seranah bila dah tak ada didunia ini. Tapi ayahanda Tun tetap akan menjadi kebanggaan bangsa, rakyat dan negara ini apabila sudah tiada nanti (maaf ayahanda..cakap soal mati itu sunat).
    Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan dan keberkatan terhadap apa jua yang Ayahanda lalui dan lakukan demi bangsa, rakyat, negara dan agama.
    I love U and Ur wife so much…
    Hope to see u again…as a leader in Putrajaya.
    daripada anakanda Ros Hadi

  230. Amat menyedihkan hati saya apabila saya melihat keadaan sesetengah tempat di Putrajaya yang nampaknya makin kusam tak terurus dan di jaga dengan baik, terutama nya di Souk (bersebelahan Masjid Putrajaya) yang mana keadaan lantainya yang berlumut dan sesetengah tiles dan mozaik yang pecah dan ada yang di ganti dengan warna dan jenis yang tak serupa. Detik hati saya berkata, “kalau di zaman Tun Mahathir, tak akan ada macam ni, semua berada di dalam keadaan “tip-top” ”
    Tetapi apa kan daya, kita hanya mampu melihat, apatah hendak mengharapkan kerajaan sekarang menjalankan penjagaan yang sempurna segala harta kerajaan, malah nak menjaga Parti sendiri pun sudah kelam kabut.
    Hmmm… apa kan daya

  231. Salam Tun,
    Excellent landscape but too bad there is not enough parking place for public. Those people in power !!! even Putrajaya not able to run smoothly what about to run a country. No wonder our economy is in total mess….
    If this persist, Putrajaya will soon become a cowboy town Ye haH !!

  232. Salam Tun,
    It all boils down to creative, proper and effective town planning sir. I must also add that the town planning that we are seek must not only consider the physical structures – It must intrinsicly include the soul that we want to inject into the development.
    Town planning cannot be looked at piecemeal. It has to have that grand vision for the whole place. The kind of developments which can attract the mix of people we want. Things like concert halls, teaters, open air concert areas, commercial buildings, residential development that will provide the critical mass of people to the place, museums, etc..
    Sad to say, Putrajaya is but one (albiet a mega one) of similar developments initated by the goverment.
    Malaysia is littered with such development at Municiple or City levels.
    One cannot underestimate the power of the private sector in driving such developments. The town planners will do right to get the private sector developers into the act early. This will ensure their inputs are used to good effect to develop AND MAINTAIN such developments.
    Maintenance requires cost. This cost can only come if the developments are giving good returns.
    For those who fear sales of the land to foreign developers fear NOT, for these land are in actual fact just leased on a fixed time period (with an option for extension) and the goverment will have recourse to reclaim the land if the need arises.
    Bring in the international developers. And we can see how PutraJaya can be transformed.
    All the best to our Beloved and Respected Tun.

  233. Dear Tun,
    I am amongst the earliest and original residents of Putrajaya.
    Putrajaya is my kampung.
    My family moved in just after you and the KSN moved in.
    I stayed at Presint 9, which was to the west of Sri Perdana.
    I can see your place, the lake and the PM’s complex clearly then.
    Now, it is being blocked by the houses of Presint 10.
    Back then not many wanted to move in to live here, citing distance and lack of facilities as a factor.
    There were a few incentives given to encourage govt servants to move in the govt quarters.
    Back then i decided that i should make Putrajaya my permanent home.
    I was lucky that, i managed to buy a house at Presint 16 that suits our requirement of having 5 children, a two and a half storey house.
    Presint 16 is one of the least densely populated Presint, nice and quite.
    I am lucky too that as govt servants,i got a twenty five percent discount, albeit certain conditions, which to my opinion is reasonable.
    I have always said that the govt servants are indeed lucky that they have such nice accomodations provided by the govt.
    The last time such accomodations was built must have been before Merdeka, where the Rumah Kerajaan, was normally located along Jalan Pegawai.
    These houses are mostly torn down now.
    Even though i have to fork out more money to pay for the housing loan for the present house, as oppopsed to paying a minimal amount for the govt quarters back in Presint 9, it was well worth it.
    Putajaya is the latest address on this globe.
    Every day i am thankfull to all Malaysians who paid their taxes, because the maintainance of Putrajaya which cost a bombshell is borne by the governtment.
    Living in Putrajaya is “heavenly”, to say the least.
    Yes, Putrajaya is rather quiet after office hours.
    This can be attributed to the majority of residents who are govt servants.
    And as we know govt servants have a certain mentality.
    They are not that adventurous as others who roams around town after office hours.
    Most govt servants has no reasons to ‘melepak’ after their office hours.
    I am sure Tun would have realised this during your regular after office hours walk from your office back to Seri Perdana.
    You hardly see others jogging or exercising after office hours.
    Most preferred to go back home and remain obediently at home.
    This is also true over the weekends…there is hardly a few who jogs around the lake or have family picnics in the beautiful surrounding.
    But then, the numbers of buses carrying tourist is amazing.
    There is never a day that tourist do not visit Putrajaya.
    The numbers increases over the weekends.
    Yes the Boulevard is deserted at night less the odd cyclist that cycle the length and breadth of it, of which i am one of them…yes Putrajaya is a haven for cyclists, safe and well lighted at night.
    Maybe a mamak shop should open along the boulevard, because the mamak shop at the various Presints are thriving.
    In Presint 9, there is a mamak shop that sits besides one another and yet draws the crowd…
    To say that Putrajaya is dull depends on which ever way one looks at it.
    I am very happy that Putrajaya is nice and quiet at night.
    I would not want it to be like Bukit Bintang or Bangsar or even Sri Hartamas….
    On the other hand the majority of govt servants has no reasons to melepak at coffee houses and 24 hours mamak shop after office hours.
    They need the rest to work productively the next day.
    Salam.

  234. Putrajaya,nice to see from outside,proud to show to foreigner and visitor but its just a empty shell. High cost but not function very well to people benefits. Maybe currently we have the wrong country leaders to work there.Just wrong person!

  235. Dear Tun,
    I like what you say of making Putrajaya a spirited place at night. That is a very cool idea!! Putrajaya now is not cool..just like if Tun without the sideburn is definitely not cool!!
    We are bunch of cyclists who love to cycle here and also lotsa cylists love to cycle at night here. I was so amaze when I saw the bicycle lane side here!! So the usual lepak place would be lepakking at Darussalam restoran and next to it is super heavy competitor.. they always label them as double trouble. Where else?
    Then there are lotsa ppl having healthy activities at the square which we had to leave very early and cannot lepak later than that..Too pity..that square is so cool and ppl come here at night with their family especially weekend to enjoy quality time. It is one area where you see multi races dwell together here.
    The government wanted to encourage sports among youth and malaysian and most sports complex run till 2 – 3 am which is good to a certain extend.. Why not at Putrajaya? Perhaps from Thursday – Saturday are allow more time for the public.
    So being chased away, some went to other bridge which faces the Perdana Leadership foundation.. maybe Tun make ask us in for a cuppa. 😛

  236. Sir,
    Sadly, Putrajaya is indeed a ghost town at night. But I believe it is a great place for young lovers, especially at the lake area.
    Putrajaya was a need because KL city had become a nightmare of congestion and government officers needed to move quickly from one place to another, which would help improve their efficiency. Your vision for Putrajaya was far-sighted but sadly those who inherited power did not care too much to see it through. They were too busy figuring out how to one-up you. Had you picked DS Najib, do you think he would have fared better? No, I doubt it. DS Pak Lah is a man with little good ideas. I sense that his ideas originate from the glorified son-in-law. Oxford material!
    If I may deviate from the subject, DS Najib has indicated that he’s leaving it to the delegates to decide on the transition of power. Today he is summoned to DS Pak Lah’s office to explain his statement and intention. I believe DS Pak Lah is under tremendous pressure now, so it will be good if you also increase the pressure a little more. This man must go! He and his cronies!
    Lastly, as for one of your prolific commentators who goes by the name of crazyidiot: I think he/she is just that.

  237. Saya kini seorang penduduk putrajaya, sudah tinggal di sini sejak setahun lalu. Sebenarnya Tun, terdapat masalah yang agak banyak di sini yang dapat saya lihat.
    1) kekurangan ruang letak kereta. Perkara ini telah disiarkan di RTM bulan lepas, di mana diceritakan mengenai kesukaran rakyat untuk meletakkan kenderaan untuk berurusan di pejabat Parcel C, D, dan E. Keadaan sama juga berlaku di pangsapuri di Presint 8,9,11,dan 16. Pada waktu malam,kenderaan diletakkan sehingga ke bahu jalan.
    2) Jambatan Seri Perdana. Ianya adalah jambatan yang paling sempit di Putrajaya, namun jambatan ini adalah yang paling kerap digunakan untuk berulang alik antara Parcel C, D, E dan Presint 8-11. Setiap kali selesai waktu bekerja, jambatan ini akan mengalami kesesakan sepanjang 500 meter. Polis trafik juga terpaksa membantu menyuraikan kesesakan.
    3)Bas Nadi Putra. Kekerapan bas ini tidak menentu. Tidak dinafikan jumlah bas yang disediakan adalah lebih daripada mencukupi, tetapi ramai pemandu yang memandu bas tanpa mengambil penumpang, dan banyak bas yang memulakan perjalanan secara serentak dari stesen Putrajaya Sentral. Hal ini menyebabkan pengguna yang terlepas bas mereka terpaksa menunggu lama di stesen dan perhentian bas.
    4) Lampu isyarat, kebanyakan tempat yang didirikan lampu isyarat adalah kawasan dengan kadar trafik yang amat rendah. Jadi, jika seseorang ingin mematuhi lampu isyarat, mereka perlu menunggu amat lama. Pada saya, lampu isyarat di tempat sebegini tidak perlu beroperasi, sehinggalah kawasan tersebut mempunyai trafik yang munasabah.
    5) Tiang dan jambatan LRT yang tidak dapat digunakan. Infrastruktur untuk perkhidmatan LRT telah tersedia, seperti terowong dan jambatan menyeberangi tasik. Namun, LRT yang dinantikan belum lagi nampak bayangnya. Saya yakin, masalah pengangkutan awam di Putrajaya dapat diselesaikan dengan adanya rangkaian LRT ini.
    Di kawasan boulevard yang Tun maksudkan, sudah ada Pasar Malam setiap Jumaat. Bulan ini pula, Bazaar Ramadhan. Kawasan pasar adalah di hadapan bangunan Bahagian Pinjaman Perumahan di kompleks MOF.
    Harap Tun mempunyai kelapangan untuk melawat pasar ini. Saya berharap keadaan persekitaran di Pasar Malam tersebut dapat dipertingkatkan. Apa yang saya harapkan daripada pasar malam tersebut: laluan pejalan kaki yang lebih selesa, kemudahan pembuangan sampah untuk peniaga dan pengunjung, tindakan lebih tegas kepada pemandu kereta yang meletak kenderaan di bahu jalan.
    Semoga Tun dapat terus menyumbang kepada negara, walau di usia yang semakin lanjut. Banyakkan amal ibadah, rapatkan hubungan dengan rakyat.

  238. ASSALAMUALAIKUM TUN M TUN SITI HASMAH..
    SEMOGA TUN DIRAHMATI ALLAH S.W.T DAN SIHAT SEPANJANG MASA..
    MENGENAI PUTRAJAYA…
    SAYA MASIH INGAT LAGI KENYATAAN DARI PAS SEMASA SAYA BERSOLAH LGYG MENGATAKAN PUTRAJAYA SEBAGAI PIRAMID DAN TUN IALAH MAHAFIRAUN YANG INGIN MEMBUAT SINGAHSANA DISANA…ALIH2 SKANG SAYA TNGOK SKANG DIORANG TAK TAU MALU NAK PG KE PUTRAJAYA…BERTANDING PILIHANRAYA N MENGGUNAKAN BACKGROUND PUTRAJAYA..CKP TAK SERUPA BIKIN PUNYA PARTI AJARAN SESAT..HAHA..SAYA RASA KALO DIORANG NAK MENUJU JE PUTTRAJAYA BWT LAH BANGGUNAN LAIN..TERASA HINA DAH MELUDAH JILAT BALIK..
    P/S: KEBANYAKAN YANG DUK PUTRJAYA RAMAI ORANG KELANTAN YANG TAK SEDAR DIRI TERMASUK MEMBER SAYA..
    JANGAN PIJAK PUTRAJAYA..
    DARI ORANG PUTRAJAYA..
    SAYA SENTIASA MENDOAKAN KESEJAHTERAAN TUN SELEPAS SEMBAHYANG..AMIN..

  239. True that Putrajaya can be better but that would be for another visionary leader, Tun and it would be difficult to find him if he is not you.
    Perhaps, we really cannot blame Pak Lah. Your shoes are really too big for him or rather he is too scared and don’t know what to do.
    Anyway, we are more interested in your thoughts and opinions over the recent ISA detentions and also whether the latest fiasco will get rid of the lousy advisers that Pak Lah keeps close to him – Zaid Ibrahim for one.
    Talking about the reformation of the judiciary, I don’t think Zaid is the person for it as everything he does is for publicity’s sake, not for the good of the nation or to strengthen the current administration.
    It is interesting to note that such a person did not receive an acknowledgement during your time and of course, history has proven why he was never on your list of young leaders.

  240. Dear Tun,
    Your contribution to the country in terms modernising Malaysia has been second to none and it is the reasons why I have been a great admirer of yours.
    After reading your snippets, I must agree that the present government has not been doing enough in terms of adding vibrance to the cities. I was born and raised in Penang, and the reason why I am bringing this up is because the current PM had decided to call off monorail that was promised to my beloved home state earlier on.
    Based on my personal experience traveling to the once comparable cities such as Hong Kong and Singapore recently, I came back with nothing but praises for the way they have improved on the cities vibrancy. Every tourism spot that I went, they were well lit, people just kept coming, and people too just did not want to leave, be it taking photos, or having a cup of coffee.
    Sadly, it will never happen in Penang unless the present government decides once again to revive the already abandoned monorail project. The similarity between Hong Kong and Singapore is that people are walking all the time, to either get on the bus, tram, train, or the underground station. Therefore, coffeeshops are always filled with thirty and hungry strollers. I believe this has been adding a lot of energy to the city. In Penang itself, it is odd to see a person walk, Penangites have chosen to drive instead of walk due to the deficiency in the public transport system.
    Penang Island too has never been in your plan for mega projects, most of them were targeted for Langkawi and of course our capital KL. I read somewhere that Penang is one of the golden eggs in Malaysia but for the past 15 years, but why are we not seeing a great deal of improvement in the public transport system. What is your thought Tun for the people of Penang?
    From Penang with love.

  241. lihat lah kebesaran tuhan..tiada apa pun boleh di banggakan dgn ciptaan manusia..putrajaya…tak sehebat mane pun..Allah lebih hebat

  242. Salam Tun
    1. The word putra jaya has the following meanings; putra = prince, and jaya = victorious both are indian words originated from sanskrit. Just found that our from the internet. Just amazing what the internet has got to offer. Fortunately/Unfortunately, most of this information is in English.
    2. Out of curiosity, went on to check what Mahathir means. Maha = great and Thir = dhir = intelligent, or enlighten spiritually.
    3. It would indeed a waste if we do not teach our children mathematics and science in English. As there are a wealth of information on mathematics and science and therefore engineering and medicine all of which is writen in English.

  243. as salaamu alaikum Yg Bhg Tun dan rakan2 sekelian,
    I think partly to blame are people from PJH including the President TS Sam. They are the ones who run it on a day-to-day basis.
    I remember commenting to one of the PJH officers regarding the same thing, i.e. why they let the place deserted at night? where are the coffee beans, bistros, kedai mamak? because without these places, nobody would come out at night and the place would be deserted. I don’t remember what he said, but it looks to me nobody has any idea how to build a city anywhere in PJH right now.
    Tun commented about the lack of Chinese and Indians living in Putrajaya. I think one of the main reasons is PJH do not allow the building of places of religious worship other than mosques there. This causes the non-Muslims great hardship as in matters of religion, e.g. marriaged and death, they have to go out of Putrajaya to have those rites performed. This is inconvenient for those people and rather short-sighted of the PJH officers, because at the end of the day, they only have themselves to blame when non-Muslims don’t want to live in Putrajaya.

  244. Putera Jaya is one of a kind.She is one of the great icon that should we as Malaysian be proud of. Thanks to you sir for a great vision that never be in within our current PM.You did it to the Gemilang state! Thank you dan selamat berpuasa!

  245. salam TUN………..
    bagi saya amat mudah,jauh perjalanan luas pandangan bukannya byk tdo dlm perjalanan……..
    keupayaan TUN melihat,merencana dan mengapditasi semua perancangan pembangunan amatlah dikagumi….dulu masa sy masih bersekolah sy selalu mendengar pegawai kerajaan merungut bila nak berpindah pusat pentadbiran negara alasannya jauh dari bandar,putrajaya tpt jin bertandang dan mcm2 lagi tapi kini semua sibuk nak ke putrajaya…
    Ini kerana putrajaya sekarang adalah amat berbeza dari dulu cukup dengan semua kemudahan….namun usaha yg berterusan perlu dilakukan agar PUTRAJAYA terus subur dan terus maju agar ianya setanding bandar2 utama di dunia…..adakah ini akan menjadi kenyataan…saya tidak pasti……anda bagaimana?
    TUN..sepatutnya sesi kali ini tan sri shamsuddin osman(pengerusi perbadanan putrajaya)maaf kalo sy terslah sebut nm harus jwb…
    FYI TUN,saya amat terkejut dgn pembinaan masjid baru sedangkan masjid yg sedia ada pun tak cukup kariah…masjid ini masih dalam pembinaan berhadapan dgn pejabat kerajaan dlm satu kwsn ada dua masjid…amat janggal saya rasa…dan setahu saya di cyberjaya belum ada masjid lagi kenapa nak bina masjid dlm satu kariah..harap ada pihak yg berkenaan pergi pantau….TUN putrajaya bakal hilang seri sekiranya new developer tidak ada long term plan and light vision…..
    TUN,whatever IS U’RE GREATER LEADER,KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR US,SEMOGA ALLAH TERUS MEMBERKATI TUN SEKELUARGA DAN DIBERI KESIHATAN YG BAIK,OPEN HOUSE NANTI BAGITAHU KAMI BERDUYUN-DUYUN NAK DATANG…SELAMAT MENJALANI IBADAT PUASA DAN SELAMAT MENYAMBUT SYAWAL,MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN….ASSALAMUALAIKUM BUAT TUN DAN SEMUA AHLI2 CHEDET SELAMAT BUAT SEMUA………..ADAM SEKELUARGA

  246. Dr. Mahathir,
    In Malaysia Today website, there seems to be no good words about you. What’s odd and also amusing is that they all want Anwar Ibrahim to be the next PM. Malaysia seems to be in turmoil.
    Even more strange is that (if you believe) Malaysia Today articles and entries want Pakatan Rakyat govt led by Anwar and everyone want no race based parties.
    Anwar seems to have enough resources for his party and campaigning.He must have powerful backers who wants him in charge.Is Malaysia going through another May 13 episode?
    As an outspoken critic of the West, you were despised by many in the US. Is the favorable attitude towards Anwar says something about Mr. Badawi’s foreign policy?
    It is clear that there is behind the scenes manouvering to control Malaysia’s foreign policy and strategic interests by an outside power.

  247. Assalamualaikum dan Salam sejahtera Ayahanda Tun,
    1. Jutaan terima kasih Malaysia kerana membawa Putrajaya menjadi tanda simbolik negara dan mashyur di pelusuk dunia.Terima kasih kepada Ayahanda Tun kerana berjaya menjadikan projek mega Putrajaya semasa di bawah pimpinan Perdana Menteri. Kos pembinaan dan Perbelanjaan yang telah digunakan tidak akan sama seperti dahulu lagi. Juga, kos yang ditanggung oleh kerajaan dahulu telah dipulangkan kembali menjadi kosong semula. Tiada hutang yang ditanggung lagi bagi menyediakan infrastrukur Putrajaya tersebut.
    2. Pujian ke atas Malaysia kerana namamu Putrajaya. Apakah wawasan Ayahanda masih boleh diteruskan lagi??? Wawasan 2020 tidak akan tercapai kerana sekiranya pemimpin poitik negara kita masih bersikap acuh tak acuh, menerima rasuah, pentingkan diri sendiri, tidak beretika dsbnya. Apakah mereka faham maksud sebenar wawasan 2020 itu? Ianya penuh tersurat dan tersirat!!! Bukan disebalik pembangunan negara mencapai taraf negara maju sahaja tetapi sebenarnya rakyat Malaysia perlu mencapai tahap yang dibanggakan di serata pelusuk dunia. Negara jiran ASEAN sudah sepakat mencapai taraf wawasan 2020 juga! Mana kesinambungan projek 2020 tu!!DSAAB!! Jangan hanya dibibir sahaja!!Bangkit Umat Islam!! sifat 20 ketuhanan menjadi pedoman dan peganganmu!.
    3. Memang Melayu Mudah Lupa……lupa diri dan lupa asal keturunan. Ya!!!Zaman sudah berubah tetapi apakah perangai kita perlu turut berubah?? Dimanakah Melayu?? Mana hulubalang-hulubalang mu?? Manakah Si Tuah dan mana Si Jebat? Wajarkah pepatah “Tiada Melayu Hilang DI Dunia diputarkan?? Oh!! Tidak!!
    4. Jawapannya ialah Ya!!Melayu akan hilang dan tenggelam di dalam dunianya sendiri jika tiada perubahan peningkatan dalam sektor ekonomi, minda, sosial dan politik!! Tiada siapa akan menolong bangsa Melayu jikalau Melayu itu sendiri tidak maju dan mundur. Bukalah Minda anda semua!!! Mana Intelek? Businessman? Ayuh! Bangsaku! Gerak Maju sama maju wawasan 2020!!! Tengok dan lihat bangsa lain!! Mereka sudah Maju ke hadapan!!
    Terima kasih dan teruskan pejuanganmu Ayahanda Tun kerana tulisanmu lebih tajam dari mata pedang!!

  248. Salam Tun.
    Saya memang berbangga dgn pembangunan di sekitar Putrajaya. Begitu kagum.
    Tetapi, di sebalik itu, saya kesal kerana pembangunan Putrajaya tidak mengambil kira keperluan kawasan letak kereta yang mencukupi, terutamanya apabila hendak berurusan dengan jabatan kerajaan. Ini kerana dengan banyaknya kereta di letakkan di bahu jalan di waktu pejabat, menunjukkan ada sesuatu yang tidak kena.
    Satu lagi, ketidakcukupan papan tanda arah ke tempat-tempat awam yang penting, terutamanya Hospital. Ini berdasarkan pengalaman saya semasa isteri hendak bersalin. Saya terpaksa menyesuaikan diri dengan laluan yang betul untuk ke Hospital. Pada mulanya, saya dapati tiada langsung papan tanda arah ke Hospital dari mula-mula melalui jalan utama Putrajaya dari Kajang. Sehinggalah apabila sampai di satu persimpangan, barulah terdapat papan tanda ke Hospital. Itupun hampir-hampir miss kerana sudahlah kecil huruf papan tanda tu, bilangan pula tidak mencukupi untuk memberitahu pemandu.
    Apa-apa pun, saya bangga dengan keindahan bangunan hasil daripada rekaan arkitek tempatan yang melambangkan ciri-ciri keislaman. Syabas!

  249. Salam Tun dan all the readers,
    Saya sebahagian penduduk kuarters Kerajaan di Putrajaya setuju dengan pandangan Tun tambahan pula sejak kebelakangan ni, beberapa projek terbengkalai juga terdapat di dalam Putrajaya namun tidak pernah diwar-warkan oleh mana-mana media massa.
    Cadangan pembinaan monorel yang terhenti, Pembinaan Mesjid Putrajaya atau Mesjid Besi pada saya mesjid menara tak jadi, yang tinggal tersorok didalam bangunan ruang solat, pembangunan perumahan Presint 11 dan sebahagian Presint 14 yang terbengkali, Cadangan Pembangunan Hotel Impiana yang terhenti mengambarkan suasana kurang sihat di Putrajaya. Sudah lebih 6 tahun saya mendiami Putrajaya, boulevard hanya meriah dikala ada keramaian dan acara. Jikalau tidak hanya tempat bersantai seketika bagi laluan mereka-mereka yang menikmati lampu neon malam dari Bulatan Putra menuju Jambatan Gemilang.
    Akan dibuka Pusat Beli Belah bersebelahan Perbadanan Putrajaya begitu jua Alam Warisan di Presint 5, tapi memandangkan “purchasing power” kakitangan kerajaan yang terbatas, mungkin kemeriahan Alamanda “terganggu” sepertimana Souq (Bersebelahan Mesjid Putra)yang kini kosong kurang berpenghuni. Mungkin juga kadar sewa yang melambung menyebabkan peniaga gulung tikar atau kurangnya daya penarik barang-barang jualan di Souq tersebut yang sepatutnya menampilkan barang-barang kraf tangan tempatan kerana ianya menjadi pusat tarikan pelancong tempatan dan luar negara ke Putrajaya.
    Alangkah cantiknya jikalau kaedah membuat songket dan batik ditempatkan di situ disamping lain-lain kraf tangan tempatan dan hasil produk kampung di tempatkan di situ. Tidaklah sayup kelihatan seperti hari ini yang mana ianya usang tanpa pengunjung.
    Kalau diperhatikan beberapa konsep di Timur Tengah dan Tukri, Souq mampu menampilkan keistimewaan atau identiti negara tersebut. Mengapa ianya tidak diterapkan di Souq Putrajaya?
    Mungkin jua sejak Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd iaitu anak syarikat KLCCP kepunyaan awam dan Petronas diterajui oleh mereka-mereka yang tidak mempunyai wawasan yang sama ketika zaman Tun dan Allahyarham Tan Sri pastinya dasar dan perancangan membangunkan Putrajaya tidak mencapai matlamat dan sasarannya.
    Akibat dari kelewatan pembangunan pejabat-pejabat kerajaan berbanding dengan bangunan-bangunan kuarters yang kebanyakannya telah terlebih dahulu disiapkan bakal menyaksikan kuarters-kuarters tersebut kosong tidak berpenghuni untuk sekurang-kurangnya dua tahun lagi. Ini akan mengakibatkan kos penyelenggaraan yang tinggi lebih-lebih lagi tempoh kecacatan yang telah tamat apabila bangunan kuarters tersebut mula diduduki.
    Saya rasakan perlu ada “syncronise” dalam perancangan pembinaan bangunan kerajaan dan kuarters-kuarters kerajaan. Begitu juga perlu banyak acara dan keramaian yang mampu menarik pengujung ke Putrajaya dan bukan sekadar “showcase” bagi pemimpin dunia lain dari pejabat PMO melihat boulevard dari jauh. Suasana perlu dihidupkan dengan pelbagai aktiviti.
    Namun jauh disudut hati saya, kos penyelanggaraan bangunan-bangunan kerajaan yang kebanyakannya bocor ketika hujan lebat ditambah dengan lanskap menghijau yang mengundang lalang melibatkan kos yang tinggi. Apakah mampu Putrajaya dimasa akan datang terus menghijau dan diselenggara dengan baik?

  250. Tun,
    Yes, Putrajaya is dead in the evenings except maybe Alamanda and the area around the Putra Mosque.A lot more can be done for sure.The buildings look great, at least from the outside. But if one is visiting any building in Putrajaya, one can see a sense of neglect here and there.Someone said the other day that we have 1st class facilities, but a 3rd class maintenance which is true.I just wonder what it will be like in Putrajaya come year 2020.
    We are too busy politiking, and we forget the basics.No one really cares!

  251. Dear Tun,
    You need not apologize for putting Malaysia in the limelight. I used to wonder why there were the Twin Towers, Sepang Circuit, Second Link, Philharmonic etc.etc. There were negative views propagated from certain quarters about the “monuments” you built when you were PM.
    Twice I brought some visitors to visit downtown KL and the Twin Towers and they were awe-struck. Having seen our visitors snapping photos unendingly, I realised that you have thrust our city into the world spotlight, that these “monuments” become our identity that sticks in people’s memory. They actually have an impression of our country and talk about it when they return to their own – Malaysia is no longer 3rd World!
    I believe you wanted to benefit a lot of local professionals during the construction of these “monuments” by exposing them to the architectural and construction marvels of the best minds the world had to offer. I also believe you were disappointed by much lackadaisal attitude of the locals of not grabbing such golden learning opportunities when you were around.
    You are our greatest PR Gentleman and Statesman. I must apologize to you for taking so long to recognize your noble deeds. May God bless you and your beloved family.
    Albert CH Lee

  252. I love the way Putrajaya has been built.
    It is indeed very beautiful,
    but as you say, it is Dull at night.
    I would love to live and work there,
    only waiting for it to become more lively,
    like how PJ, Subang, KL are..

  253. Salam sejahtera Tun,
    Malaysia’s progress was at its peak when under the hand of Yg berhormat Tun. We can see a tons of development carried on over the past years. I really respect Tun for what Tun is doing. But on the other hand, PM Abdullah hasn’t do much developement for the country, i agree, BUT, from what i can see, he is coping on top level corruptions which cost Billions of RM from us. Since he was in power, i really lost count of how many top officers being charged with ACA. In a way, i respected him. Truly from what i am seeing, he fights corruption and keep the development as it is. What can a country achieve when all the officers are corrupted? I believe this is what PM Abdullah wants. A clean and transparent government. Yg Berhormat Tun, is there any thing that Tun see and i don’t? Please advise.
    Selamat Berpuasa kdp Tun dan keluaga tersayang.

  254. Dear Tun Dr.M,
    Great people does great things. You were and still being GREAT…A Living Legend. Sir, in China the people salute you as a Great man… in USA, they envy your leadership quality… the rest of the world, knows Malaysia once have a Trophy Statesman.

  255. Dear Tun,
    Ok superb idea. Lets say if we plan to open up SME businesses there in a big way, do we need to have an organisation that specifically handling this?
    As u said in Paris they have those lively stuff but for sure they have organisation handling it.
    Possibly the organisation have 100% private sector participation and at the same time government advise. Maybe Tun could lead it. I’m so serious in investing if Tun or someone smart enough plans to do it. Cause it is simple the plan and foundation is outstanding, the population is there, and the transportation system soon going to get better.
    Seriously Tun this idea might work and for sure it will create more business opportunities. Maybe u can give a task to someone that involve in ur Perdana Program to conjure to something up. And of course im listening.
    Best Regards.
    PS, Kalau Pak Lah menyibuk siap dia.

  256. Assalamualikum Tun,
    Baru-baru ini saya menghadiri suatu majlis perkahwinan anak saudara saya di sebuah dewan di Putrajaya. Sekali pandang memanglah hebat keseluruhan infrasruktur yang di ilhamkan oleh Tun itu. Setelah saya meninjau-nijau dari utara ke selatan, timur dan barat; Saya termenung dan berfikir, apakah sudah jadi perancangan infrastruktur seterusnya.
    Ini lah akibatnya bila pemerintahan jatuh ke tangan-tangan hantu yang tidak tahu mengendalikannya. Mereka hanya tahu membahagikan harta mengikut ‘ras’ masing-masing tampa memikirkan halatuju dan wawasan orang-orang terdahulu. Penatlah Tun memerah otak dan keringat untuk menjadikan Malaysia sebagai ‘idola’ dunia ketiga.
    Sekarang putrajaya dah jadi macam ‘gajah putih’. Masjidnya tidak sebersih dahulu. Malamnya ibarat bandar yang dihuni ‘hantu-hantu’, tiada meriah dan ceria lagi. Di siang hari panas bagaikan gurun dipadang pasir. Pokok-pokok hidup tidak bermaya.
    Apakah PM tiada lagi idea untuk membangunkan persarana yang menjadi salah satu ‘monumen’ kebanggaan negara. Apakah kerajaan Malaysia sudah tiada ‘fulus’? Saya langsung tidak percaya. Malah rakyat Malaysia amnya.
    Kenyataan Muhyiddin membuatkan lagi Pak Lah jadi ‘parah’ dan tak tentu arah. Di tambah lagi dengan pertelingkaan pendapat Datuk Zaid Ibrahim dengan Menteri Dalam Negeri Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar berkaitan perundangan penangkapan ISA.
    Semuanya Menteri-menteri kabinet Pak Lah sekarang bercakaran sesama sendiri dan masing-masing menunjukkan taring. Semuanya nak jadi jaguh. Nak jadi PM termasuklah Zahid Hamidi (walaupun sambil berseluruh) menunjukkan naayaitu ada. Agaknya disebabkan gagal ‘mengawal’ menteri-menterinyalah membuatkan Pak Lah tidak lagi berfikir berkenaan Putrajaya. Putrajaya hanya akan tinggal bagaikan sebuah ‘pusat pentadbiran’ yang ‘kaku’ dan tidak bermaya suatu hari nanti. Aktiviti bermusim saja sudah nyata makin hari makin pudar!
    Sekian dulu..wassalam.

  257. Salam Tun
    You have a great taste when writing. Short, precise and smart (plus provocative ideas). A few can write like this. Take good care of yourself, Sir. You’ve done so much for Malaysia.

  258. Dear Tun,
    This goes to show that money cant buy soul. I really really wished someone had whispered in your ear when you were building Putrajaya …” what about some soul in the city??” Comparing it to Paris…abit susah laa..parisians know how to enjoy life, sip wine and read in the park. Putrajaya is run by a 95% malay community and is turning into an underused white elephant, while the government spends so much money maintaining it.
    For all thats worth, It was a great vision Tun.
    I do not agree with #21. you may not be in the government but i believe the country listens to what you say.
    Thank you and god bless.

  259. Dear Tun,
    My view is that Putrajaya was a waste of money.Partly
    because mostly staying there is government civil .Let look at Kuala Lumpur ,you cannot built or buy success,it take hardwork,take years of hardwork.You have the power to make a different but as you can see you built a grand mosque to show how successful we are.Besides hardwork there are other factor to make a great city like kuala lumpur.The reality Kuala Lumpur take effort and teamwork of everyone and also risk taker community!

  260. Salam Ayhda Tun..and all Bloggers,
    Lama tak singgah laman Ayhda..sibuk memenuhi tuntutan hidup, rasa rindu dgn coretan dan catatan Ayhda.
    Tiada komen hanya bersetuju dgn Tok Dalang dan ‘touching’ dgn tulisan ‘I-Have-No-Brains-But-I-Have-A-Big-Tummy-It-Goes-In-The-Family’. We are in the same boat.
    Pada pendapat saya pemerintah sekarang yg patut menggalakkan ‘nite life’ di Putrajaya dgn menyediakan tmpat2 yang sesuai dan promosi2 hebat demi memeriahkan dan menjayakannya, lantiklah org yang kreatif dan konsistent utk itu, ttpi jgn pula jadi mcm ‘uptown’ disesuatu tmpat pula sehinggakan ‘sakit mata’ memandang cukup2lah di tmpat yg satu itu. Apapun ada pros and cons.
    Buat pemerintah sekarang, pertimbangkanlah… dgn wujudnya ‘nitelife’ di Putrajaya sdikit sbnyk dpt menjana pndapatan rakyat dan memakmurkan ekonomi scara x langsung..disamping itu boleh menarik pelawat dtg ke Putrajaya…galakkan dan sokongan berterusan dari pemerintah adalah salah satu kunci impian ini..
    Sayang buat Ayhda Tun dan Bonda serta keluarga..
    salam buat semua..

  261. SALAM SEMUA…
    JIKA KITA LIHAT KEADAAN TUN SEKARANG KITA SANGAT SEDIH DAN TERKILAN APABILA TUN TERKIAL-KIAL UNTUK MENJATUHKAN PAKLAH YANG TUN SENDIRI LANTIK DENGAN BEGITU MUDAH SEMASA TUN BERKUASA. DEMI UNTUK MENJATUHKAN PAKLAH YANG DIKATAKAN LEMAH TUN TERPAKSA WUJUDKAN BLOG DAN TERPAKASA CUCUK PEMIMPIN UMNO DI SANA SINI AGAR MENDESAK PAKLAH BERUNDUR SEHINGGA MENIMBULKAN KEADAAN YANG TIDAK STABIL DAN MASALAH PERKAUMAN. KITA BOLEH JANGKAKAN ADA MOTIF TERTENTU TUN BEGITU MENDESAK PAKLAH BERUNDUR. APA SUDAH JADI DENGAN TUN, KALAU DI ZAMAN TUN BERKUASA DULU JIKA AHLI ATAU PEMIMPIN UMNO BUAT BEGINI MEMANG SUDAH LAMA DIPECAT DAN DITAHAN ISA. TETAPI PAKLAH TIDAK BERBUAT DEMIKIAN KEPADA TUN KERANA PAKLAH MENGHORMATI TUN DAN TIDAK MAHU DILIHAT KEJAM SEPERTI TUN DULU.LAGIPUN PAKLAH ORANG UMNO TAKKAN NAK TAHAN ISA ORANG UMNO ATAU BEKAS AHLI UMNO.

  262. Salam Tun,
    Putrajaya & Cyberjaya is the place to live and work, at least for me. I have several properties in Cyberjaya itself, stayed there for about 7 years and now I am living in Putrajaya. These two areas are completely contrasting. Cyberjaya full of foreigners, singles and we are among the few Malay families. We do have a chinese family neighbour which are very close to us (sometimes they leave their daughter in my house under my care). But later, they moved to other state due to job requirement.
    When we start living in Putrajaya few months ago, we feel so different. The community like you said is 95% Malay. But we feel good, the mosque are nearby, the neighbour are Muslims, the banks, the market and other public service facilities are all within reach. You know what, last May was the first time I went to the National Registration Department (Next to MECD). I was so impressed. I’ve never thought we have such a beautiful government office like that. The facilities are tip-top, the service as well.
    Only recently I found it is a little bit odd when CIMB Bank at Precint 8 moved to boulevard, somewhere after the Treasury Building. The location was so quiet with no parking space. Whenever I need to use the self service machines at night, I have to park by the roadside (main boulevard road), walk under the trees in the dark and go to the other side of the building which for me is scary. Anyone can hide behind the pillar/ trees and attack us.
    I agree with you there’s no life at night here in Putrajaya. Once a while I organize an international meeting at Shangri-La Hotel but the comments from participants are still the same, no life after 7pm.
    Another thing, I believe the present government shall proceed with the monorail inside the Putrajaya as per your planned. It is annoying to see the half way monorail bridge lies there with no use. And also the gardens alongside the boulevard, give me an eyesore as well with the wooden bench geting perished.
    Apart from above, I would recommend to my friends to stay in Putrajaya. A nice place to live.
    my 2.5 cents

  263. 1) Paklah memang tak sayangkan pembangunan Putrajaya sebaliknya mahu dilingkupkannya.
    2) Apa nak heran Tun, benda lain pun banyak lagi yang paklah tak dapat cover, inikan pula nak jaga Putrajaya.
    3) Lagipun, pegawai-pegawai kerajaan sekarang ini dah tak hormat dan tak nak dengar langsung dengan arahan paklah ni. Sebabnya, paklah ‘flip-flop’.

  264. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Pertamanya terima kasih kerana Tun bersetuju untuk kembali ke UMNO,sudah tiba masanya UMNO perlu diperkukuhkan kembali seperti dahulu,apa yang saya lihat sekarang perjuangan UMNO sudah jauh terpesong dari landasan sebenar,saya amat berharap agar Tun dapat berbuat sesuatu supaya UMNO kembali berjuang demi kepentingan Rakyat.

  265. Salam Tun,
    Putrajaya mmg gempak…tp bl sampai kat PAK LAH…takder ape pun yg nampak gempak….stakat nie,saya rasa tak bangga langsung dengan pembangunan negara…benda yang sama cuma diolah sket je…kalau dulu, TUN buat sumthing yang baru,even kena kutuk, seluruh rakyat Malaysia still berterima kasih sampai skarang….PAK LAH setakat nie takder memajukan apa2…dia takut nak buat benda baru and no idea…takut kena kutuk…idea pun kering…rasmi sana rasmi sini, tapi hampeh….semua benda tu benda yg simple and tak MEGA….idea dia adalah untuk golongan tertentu je dan bkn utk semua….KORIDOR2 yang dia launch tue, ntah ape jadi…baik buat KORIDOR rumah je la…
    p/s : TUN jatuhkan dia cepat and jgn bg Anwar Berahim take over…

  266. Tun,
    So true of what u commented on Putrajaya. As people who are train in the built environment, it is sad to say putrajaya is not successfully flourish the way it should be but its clear that this is not ur intention.

  268. Tun,This is the best example of the failure of the malays in business.Now, let think if Putrajaya is turn into a city and chinese are allow to set up shops and companies,I bet the business will be booming now.Also if the chinese are allow to built houses and schools nearby,I think it will be even better than KL.So now it shows that it’s impossible to succeed without the chinese.If the malays still think that they can do better than the chinese ,ask them to start the business.I am sure it will close down in no time.

  269. It was your vision after all to centralized all government departments and ministries and decided upon Putrajaya which stands as the administration capital today. Like many Malaysians who worked and contributed to the construction there, myself included, saw the potential of it being a ghost town comes night fall. We were all dead right. Only the client did not see it.
    A great numbers of our country’s established architects, engineers, consultants, designers, contractors, suppliers, specialists and vendors made a beeline for that project when it was first announced. Various speculation of its magnitude and it’s feasibility to sustain it as a township with sufficient ‘life’ as a people’s city with the right mixtures of inhabitants was numerously put to questions by those appointed consultants and analyst on the project to the client. The client, in your own words, the “planners”. Typically, this was the scenario then and to cut a long story short, although not precisely the words uttered, but in its context, the Client said; “Do what is best for the project as long as you do what I asked for”.
    Putrajaya, on one hand was a success in it’s own merit, in such a short time, a city sprung up with the latest technology employed and construction methods adopted to become first if not the benchmark to carry on with future projects beyond Putrajaya. The same team who managed OUR KLCC project with expertise learned from our foreign consulting partners was put in place to achieve the same standard of quality and processes. The same team (by then without the foreign consultants and expertise), were to impart their knowledge and execute it with the same manner of professionalism and quality. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
    A case in point was last year’s mishap in one of the buildings where the ceiling collapsed. Fortunately, no one was hurt. And there were numerous unreported minor incidents which did not warrant even a line in the dailies. Those were rectified in time and were deemed part of defects during the defects liability period.
    I may have deviated here somehow; Putrajaya could have attained much more status as the place to stay if not for the ratio of population against the commercial sector. Emphasis was on having the best looking building for the occupier, a race to be the most outstanding among them all, begins the very moment a plot was assigned. While the overall concept of creating a township with the appropriate facilities and its’ targeted and intended residents was secondary.
    It wasn’t so much as having a nice building to worked in, and that’s what Putrajaya is almost all about, a place to work, it lacks of any character in terms of attraction other than purpose built recreational amenities that only draws in the crowd on weekends.
    While Putrajaya still beacon itself as a safe haven to live in, ample discreet security being at work here, it did not explore further the possibilities on encouraging businesses and multi-nationals to its doorstep other than the occasional banks and designated predefined purpose built facilities which is a good distance away from the day crowd.
    While most sees Putrajaya as being a dominantly government enclave and managing the entire landscape, it is the council with this responsibility over the city who should promote and invite events management and sponsors to this district. The council should play an active role to encourage more activities and promotion of the place irregardless of the day and time with proper coordination and management to steer clear of any high security zone. Events draws the crowd in and any movement of attraction will expose the general public and non-residents more of the hidden potential that is Putrajaya. Furthermore, this have to be consistently on a regular basis to keep the momentum until a time when Putrajaya becomes a full fledge city with LIFE. From then on it will just go on living out it’s legend with the right publicity.

  270. salam tun yg dihormati…putrajaya adalah sebuah tamadun bangsa malaysia akan dikenali oleh anak cucu kita bukan pemerintah yang lemah dan konco-konconya.tun teruskan perjuanganmu yang belum selesai.

  271. Nampaknya dah tiba masanya chedet-unlimited mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada Abdullah kerana rakyat sedang mengira dan mengharap-harapkan bilalah dia ini nak berambus. Mungkin kasar tetapi itulah harapan rakyat . Tidak pernah ada dalam sejara Malaysia Perdana Menteri yang seburuk ini perfomancenya. Nak buat apa , itulah akibatnya kononnya dah anggap diru tu hebat sangat sampai boleh memintas proses demokrasi untuk melantik pengganti. Inilah antara sebab saya mempertahankan hujah saya Tun pengkhianat negara. Bila dah dapat mandat dia pusatkan semua kuasa ditangannya. Kalau kita kritik dengan mudah je budak kubang pasu itu akan cakap ia mmg di bawah bidangkuasa saya. Saya cuma cadangkan MT semua setuju ..so now u see its not my fault. Itulah ayat yang lebih kurang akan kuar dari mulut budak kubang pasu itu.
    Penggunaan ISA rupa-rupanya bukan kuburkan gerakan pembangkang tetapi kuburkan Pak Lah dari dalam parti dan kompenannya sendiri. Itulah orang tak suka kalau kita pegang kuasa dan guna ikut suka hati . Ingat ini negara penakut? Zaman itu sudah berlalu kini hak asasi menjadi keutamaan dan bukanya kemakmuran ekonomi. Rakyat Malaysia mula sedar dan memburu maruah….

  272. Dear Tun,
    Putrajaya is one of the must-see places for all tourists to Kuala Lumpur (The other one is of course KLCC). It’s very vibrant during the day and mesmerising at night. Everytime I have any visitors from overseas, I will bring them to Putrajaya. Yes, I totally agree with you that to capture the essence of this place, we should make Putrajaya more lively, at night, at least have kopitiam or coffee shops around the boulevard. There’s stories to tell about the history of Putrajaya. How nice if we can do it over a nice cuppa.

  273. Dearest Tun.
    That’s a brilliant idea Tun. That will definitely make Putrajaya more livelier and exciting than it is now. Hope some one in the government take advantages of your wisdom and do something.
    God bless you Tun. Selamat berpuasa.
    Excuse me Tun…..
    To
    Crazyidiot (the moron who never fail to run from actual topic),
    Why don’t you spend more time playing marbles or climbing coconut trees. Your comment are not needed here.

  274. Dun be upset dear Tun…it is not all entirely ur fault…but we thank you for laying out the foundation for future generations. At least not all is lost & we appreciate it very much…love u Tun & i am chinese… Thank you for all you have done dearest Tun our father of modernization.

  275. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Proposal untuk developed pesisir tasik Putrajaya belambak kat PJC dan PJH. Tapi tak buat apa-apa pun…Harga tanah kat those area adalah RM15 juta seekar! Alih-alih jual kat Singaporeans and Taiwaneese. Tun, kalau betul maklumat ni…baik jual saja Malaysia kat bangsa asing!
    Saya tak marah kat sapa-sapa Tun, tapi rakyat yg melihat penindasan dan penjualan negara sendiri oleh pemimpinnya akan hilang rasa bersalah untuk melakukan kesalahan…

  276. Assalamualaikum
    Tun..
    Pernah masuk kawasan Putrajaya waktu belum siap sepenuhnya, Lampu pasang sana sini.. terang benderang . Keadaannya Tun sama macam sekarang jugak… Terang benderang TAPI tidak ada orang.. hehehe
    Selamat berbuka…

  277. Tun,
    I guess this blog is meant for reading by Dato Seri Najib Razak.
    I should say congratulations to Tun again since it won’t be long for us to see Pak Lah handing over the premiership to Dato Seri Najib.
    Is Tun getting ready to ask the contractors from your camp to bid for the expecting new Putrajaya Additional Construction Projects as proposed by Tun here?
    Noone is able to deny that Tun’s influence on the government is still strong if Pak Lah is to yield to the poltical pressure and step down in the next few days.
    In view of the high-stakes which Tun bets on, I just wish that Dato Seri Najib will not be another wrong horse that may disappoint Tun again!
    Be ready for celebration, Tun!
    Onlooker
    The following statement of Tun is listed for reference:
    “21. Not being in the Government, I cannot influence anything anymore. But I hope the powers that be will read this snippet on Putrajaya.”

  278. YB Tun :-
    Saya dengan rasa rendah diri ingin beri sedikit pandangan: –
    Tun janganlah memohon maaf pada Malaysia atas kesalahan yang Tun tak buat. Seperti dalam artikel putrajaya ini. kerana ini tak adil untuk Tun.
    Tun bina Putrajaya sebagai satu wilayah pentadbiran yang sangat diperlukan oleh Malaysia untuk capai Wawasan 2020
    Jadi pada masa pembinaan itu, pekara yang tersangat penting diutamakan dahulu dan dirancang contohnya bangunan kerajaan.
    Pembinaan restauran dan pusat kebudayaan dan lain-lain bolehlah dibina selepas itu. Dan ianya menjadi tanggungjawab Pak Lah melaksanakanya.
    Tapi dia muflis idea dan pengkhianat negara, dia tak buat lah.
    Tun TAK SALAH dalam hal ini.
    orang yang tak reti menilai sahajalah akan kata salah Tun, tapi yang sedar dan waras akan berterima kasih pada Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn dan Tun M atas jasa anda semua contohnya PUTRAJAYA

  279. well…its true that the putrajaya is a sleepy city…as sleepy as DAAB…kroognhgghhhh….krohhngghhh…nothing to be proud of anymore…

  280. Daer Tun,
    I agreed what you mentioned above. Do not feel carried away with all this Dunggul that managed the country. I have brought many of my oversea friends to visit Putrajaya at night. They are amazed and they have high respect for you. Not many people believe that we have such a wonderful well planned Putrajaya. They thought twin towers is the best in Malaysia untill they see the Putrajaya especially in the night time. But the more you talk about it your blood pressure will shoot up. Is just like if you have a ferrari but don’t know how to drive it. We have so much things to offer for tourism, but we still lack of tourists coming into Malaysia. I just like to give you some examples. Knowing very well now the Mainland Chinese can really spent. But not many of them really coming to Malaysia. There is a package in China call the Singapore, Malaysia, & Thaniland. But some how for the Malaysia destiny there only go to Genting & visit the Twin Towers. We have many islands and hill resorts. But nobody really know how to promote it! The ministry have to work very hard with all the travel agencies in & outbound. Get the right channel. Good promotion materials. The sad thing we see lately we have buntings all over KL with PM, DPM & Tourism Minister faces? That is a wrong channel, a waste of money. Show beautiful pictures of some scenery to atract people to go there not VIP pictures. Somemore you only have limited space for the bunting…….Apalah…..Sudah 50 puluh tahun takkan benda macam ini masih boleh berlaku. After visit year Malaysia it seem no more campaigns to continue? What is going to hapen to our Hotel industry? The Taxi drivers? The Restaurants? Shopping Centres? If the ministry don’t do it do you aspect the taxi drivers have to fly to each country and promote for the country? I studied what the Chinese government did for the coming 2010 Expo in Shanghai for six months period. There are gearing up to bring in 70 millions visitors during a six months. I believe everyone can count. 70 millions can provide a good revenues for the entire country! I may not aspect to ask the government to host such a big even, but why don’t the related people think of something good for our country! Please don’t forget tourism is a very big revenue. As a Malaysian, when ever I’m oversea, I always promote my country.

  281. Salam Tun & isteri
    1. Saya sangat berbangga dengan idea Tun untuk membina Putrajaya .. Ini jelas apabila Putrajaya boleh dikenali pelancong2 dari dalam mahupun luar negara.
    2. Saya selalu juga bersiar-siar dan menikmati permandangan di Putrajaya apabila hari minggu. Persekitarannya sangat cantik dan menarik.
    3. Susunan rekabentuk Putrajaya juga adalah amat strategik. Tetapi malangnya seperti yang dikatakan Tun, memang sukar untuk mencari kedai2 disekitarnya. Tambahan pula kebanyakkan tempat2 pelancong juga telah menutup perniagaan mereka lebih awal.
    4. Saya berharap ada pihak yang menyambung kerja Tun serta tindakan yang perlu dilakukan untuk menjadikan Putrajaya sebuah kawasan yang berpotensi di siang dan di malam hari.
    Selamat Berbuka Tun & isteri 🙂

  282. Your constructive ideas about Paya Indah has led to a complete total wastage of public funds. Why does the ACA not investigate this?

  283. Salam Tun,
    Original always is Original.Even your enemy will admire you.
    You are one of the real leader with vision.Please help us to rebulit Malaysia again.

  284. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    When a Leader with Vision and ruled with compassion and patient you will have the most beautiful thing in life. Everything has message, content and philosophy that makes those vision into reality.
    For that I salute you for being far sighted in anything you think off.
    Thanks for Everything and Selamat berpuasa and berbuka to your family.
    Wasalam.

  285. 1. I would rather said this is more likely this city is specially dedicated to Tun.
    2. Initial stage, yes. Now, who else will go there?? For the lum sump money that had poured for this project, please rethink: is this worth for all that kind of money?
    3. First impression, this is impressive. Second thought, when we look back after so many years, what had we gained from there? Nothing. While basic infrastructure we still at the stage of developing countries, how dare we challenge ourselve to maintain such the artificially developed city ( see what heppen to the so called Cyberjaya and Putrajaya. While both cybercities still inprogress, current PM announced another Northern Corridor and Iskandar project? What happen to this both Cyber Cities? Wont this is so confusing for the foreign investor? Where should my company invest?
    4,5. Yes, dont have a long term planning for the project but just push for the completion of infrastrcuture and the outlook regardless what is the future implmentation and future development on the project.
    6,7. Hundreds years of continuous development and well planning will resulted this. For Malaysia, 1 years of development plan and 3 years to complete with no continuous development plan. All leaders are just think to make a landmark for themselve. Since Tun had Twin towers and Putrajaya, I must make myself a Iskandar Development Region (IDR) and Northern Corridor, and now a so called East Malaysia Corridor with billions of our taxpayer money pour into it. What the hack is that??)
    8,9. The police will go home as well together with the worker and businessman.
    10-18. Without all this basic entertainment and F&B stores, who want to operate their business here. But in US, there are some districts (industrial and office) that are so quiet at night. Somehow the bussiness district (with F&B and grocery stores are just a few kms away. Definitely way better than in Putrajaya and you need to drive hours and hours to search for food at night.
    19. Thats the main reason why there are no demand on those nice F&B and entertainments. We should know who is the biggest spenders on those in Malaysia. No demand, no supply, as simple as that.
    20-21. Everyone are so busy on who will take over powers, who will rise, who will fall, ISA, who will still care about the economy growth, inflation, not even mentioning the infrastracture improvement.
    Sorry in advance for any harsh word/ statement that cause unhappy among readers.

  286. Dear Tun,
    1. A year ago, I was talking to an old historian regarding the formation of Kuala Luampur early days during colonization and pre-independence time.
    2. He mentioned several name like Tun Dr Ismail, who was working very hard retaining Malay communities within Kuala Lumpur. If I was not mistaken, British had imposed Land Law where each built land has to be at certain property value to be owned at district of Kuala Lumpur. Malays property owner who failed to keep the property value at the conditioned level were forced out of KL. Chinese tycoon (backed by tin mining lucrative bisiness) grabbed the opportunity fullfilling the ownership of the land … some forced gangsterism may also involve to drift away Malays out of KL.
    3. As a result … foundation of tin mining industry by Long Jaafar and Raja Abdullah has never been Malay’s lucrative entity.
    4. Dearest Tun, look at the history … how we have been deprived from our own mother land. PUTRAJAYA is one of your great ‘invention’, and I was involved with some building management system installation, at Parcel A and B. I was hoping that the economic activity will boost and with CYBERJAYA around the corner, hope it will doing far better than Kuala Lumpur. I wish KL is ‘dead’ with the majority dwellers as well.
    5. I’ve never been in Paris. But spent many time visit at Sarajevo, City of Kuwait, Arab and Syria. The people there praised you and your PUTRAJAYA. At Sarajevo, I observed Serbs and Muslim Bosnian went through more than 10 years racial tension’s civil war. The Muslim and Serbs observed more or less same social live, same language and we hardly tell the community difference. Yet … they go to war. At so much differences between Malay, Chinese and Indian, we are keeping the harmony between races. What has gone wrong that trigger racialism to the headline? Everybody knows that …
    AZHAR MD.NOH

  287. Salam Ayahanda Tun,
    A Marvelous and Far Sighted Vision.
    But Sadly though as your para 19 refers.
    To make it into Malay City. WHY TUN, WHY A MALAY CITY? AND NOT A CITY FOR ALL ? To us, anything like this wont last, as it would exhaust spendings from a certain race, like it or not, it’s total facts.
    Ayahanda, I must stressed here that, I am not against Malay Rights and so on, ON THE CONTRARY I HAVE FULL RESPECTS for them. But FACTS BEING FACTS. If we have to survive, A MULTI-CULTURED CITY,IS MORE LIKE IT.
    Maybe Open Up the ruling concept, may see changes to the brighter side.
    May Allah Always Be With Ayahanda Tun And Family.

  288. Salam Tun,
    Ramai yang telah mengkritik Tun ketika idea & perlaksanaan projek Putrajaya ini. Pihak pembangkang acapkali mengutarakan yang projek ini adalah ‘satu lagi pembaziran kerajaan BN’. Mendengarkan kos projek Putrajaya ini yang menjangkau angka billion, saya seakan bersetuju dengan pandangan dangkal ini.
    Namun, senario ekonomi yang agak lesu terutama selepas perletakan jawatan Tun sebagai PM telah membuka minda saya. Pengangkutan awam (LRT, bas dan teksi)telah menjadi medium utama bagi penduduk KL disebabkan kenaikan harga minyak yang membawa kepada kenaikan kos pengangkutan persendirian. Malangnya,pengurusan yang tidak kompetan serta kualiti perkhidmatan yang tidak memuaskan menyebabkan ramai yang terpaksa kembali menggunakan kenderaan sendiri.
    Cetusan idea memindahkan pusat pentadbiran daripada KL ke Putrajaya merupakan tindakan paling bijak & pro aktif daripada Tun. Kesesakan dan kepadatan penduduk di KL menyebabkan bangunan pentadbiran kerajaan bukan sebuah tempat yang kondusif untuk mendapatkan perkhidmatan. Secara ikhlas, faktor kesesakan & kurang kemudahan tempat letak kenderaan serta tahap kualiti perkhidmatan awam juga menyumbang kepada senario ini.
    Jika diamati, Putrajaya mempunyai banyak tempat letak kereta (walaupun sesetengahnya agak jauh daripada bangunan pentadbiran). Sungguhpun terdapat kelemahan seperti yang dinyatakan Tun, pada pandangan saya Putrajaya merupakan salah satu mega projek yang berjaya. Wang pembayar cukai telah digunakan dengan sebaik-baiknya dan memberi manfaat besar.
    Syabas kepada Tun.Pihak berkaitan boleh kiranya berkongsi dan bermusyawarah dengan pihak Tun bagi sama-sama mengatasi kelemahan di atas. Tiada gunanya pertikaian dan pergaduhan sesama Melayu yang merugikan. Mari berganding bahu memperkasakan semula UMNO bagi memacu kemajuan negara dan memberi manfaat kepada semua bangsa Malaysia.
    Selamat berpuasa & hari raya kepada Tun sekeluarga dan semua warga blogger.

  289. PUTRA JAYA, a well planned administrative centre. Congratulations to Tun the creator. But as usual and as everywhere else in the country, the road signages need to be relooked. Quality expensive boards but very much confusing..
    BORANG BILA NAK HANTAR TUN?

  290. assalamualaikum Tun,
    terdahulu sy ingin mminta maaf krana dlu saya pernah membenci tun dsbbkan kes DSAI.
    mungkin dsbbkan saya masih blum dpt berfikir scara mtang.
    utk pengetahuan tun, sy baru brumur 17thn.
    dan saya amat menyanjungi tun skrg.
    stiap yg tun post tlah dbace oleh saye.
    saya akn menyokong tun tidak kire ape yg tun buat.
    klau boleh, sy tidak kisah utk memasuki politik apavila tiba masanya.
    sy mmpunyai harapan yg tinggi utk mengubah masyarakat kita dan memprjuangkan nasib melayu.
    akhir skali, smoga tun sihat sejahtera.
    slamat berpuase.

  291. Assalam mualaikum, semoga tun dipanjangkan usia dan terus sihat walafiat..Amin.
    1) Putrajaya sebuah pusat pentadbiran yang direkabentuk begitu baik sekali, kami amat mengaguminya.
    2) Kami dapat memahami inspirasi tun untuk meningkatkan tamadun bangsa dengan kewujudan Putrajaya.
    3) Imbas kembali surah Al-Ra’d (Ayat 11) :
    “…Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum
    sehingga kaum itu mengubah nasibnya sendiri…”
    4) Malangnya pada hari ini, Putrajaya di pimpin oleh pemimpin yang kurang cerdik. Tak mampu nak meneruskan wawasan tun untuk melihat
    bangsa yang bertamadun, kuat, dihormati dan disegani.
    5) Hari ini sesiapa pun bebas mempersoalkan agama..azan.. dan hak-hak orang melayu.
    6) Zaman tun dulu, siapa yang berani angkat muka ?
    7) Kebebasan yang dicipta PM hari ini, akhirnya memakan bangsanya sendiri, itulah kesan kepimpinan yang lembik dan seperti tiada maruah bangsa.
    8) Alhamdulillah, Zaid Ibrahim dah letak jawatan. Baguslah..kehadirannya pun tidak menyumbang apa-apa kepada ketamadunan bangsa.
    9) Mohamad Hasan bila nak ikut Zaid Ibrahim ?
    10) Selamat berbuka tun, hari ni kami sekeluarga berbuka nasi dagang dan serawa labu manis..(teringin nak berbuka bersama-sama tun dan keluarga..)

  292. Ohh..saya ingatkan Putrajaya dibina memang hanya untuk bangunan pentadbiran sahaja.
    Memang Putrajaya agak mati ketika malam tetapi sesuai untuk mengambil angin malam cuma agak susah kalau berhajat nak minum kopi..kena cari kat kawasan perumahan baru ada kedainya

  294. Salam Tun,
    “20. I admit being guilty of setting up Putrajaya as the administrative capital. It is very well planned. But it is dull.”
    Tolonglah jangan minta maaf seperti di atas. Putrajaya adalah salah satu kemegahan rakyat Malaysia seperti saya ni.
    Saya berharap pihak pengurusan Putrajaya mengambil berat setiap apa yang Tun tegur.
    Berani Berubah!!!

  295. Dear Tun,
    This place has so much potential but never been managed properly.
    I attended a talk by Tengku Mahaleel and he mentioned about how you have great vision and never short of ideas.
    People like you are indeed very rare in history.
    Selamat berbuka puasa !

  296. Salam Che Det
    Putrajaya is really a beautiful place.Peacefull,clean & well maintained.It is very different from other cities.I stayed there for a few years when there were not many people around.In my precint there were only a couple of families.I don’t live there anymore but I still miss Putrajaya.
    You’ve done a great job.Thank You.

  297. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Cerita pasal Putrajaya, cerita pasal vision Tun dalam cubaan nak naikkan ekonomi, keceriaan di Putrajaya, adaaaa jugak blooger yang nak slot in ISA ler, DEB ler… entahlah…

  298. Yang Berbahagia Tun,
    There is no doubt that Putrajaya is a wonderfully laid out and beautifully designed city that we as Malaysian can be truly proud of.
    Everytime I have visitors from overseas,a visit to Putrajaya will almost certainly feature on the agenda.These visits were invariably in the day time and the visitors couldn’t help but were impressed with what they have seen.
    But you are right, where are the cafes? restaurants? etc.We almost always end up going up to the Shangri-la just to have a cup of coffee and that coffee shop there is equally dull and boring.
    Why can’t we have nice cafes not just along the boulevard,but along the lake?
    Yes, Putrajaya also feels like a Malay city instead of a happenning Malaysian city.Apart from the buildings, it lacks fun and sparks!

  299. Salam TUN,& salute to all readers.
    1.I have never ceased thanking Allah SWT for giving you to us as PM.
    2. It is this kind of ability that you have which endeared you to us all.
    3.Please continue with your positive writings to pull us malaysians together, as your vision has that magnetic ability to unite us.
    4. The fact that you are able to foresee, analyse, stimulate, provoke, motivate ; with your writings- all point to one fact- YOU ARE INDEED THE WRITER OF THIS BLOG!!!! I recalled someone (in earlier comments) said that you are probably going to let someone else handle the input here. HAH!! who could ever be on par with you sir?
    5. And the fact that you allow comments that contradict you, and some that even want to ‘spray your grave with unmentionable liquid’ shows the magnitude of your brilliance.
    SALAM TUN, TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, TRY YOUR BEST TO PRAY IN CONGREGATION FOR THAT IS ONE OF ‘SUNNANUL HUDA’ FOR US.

  300. Salam Tun:
    Tun mempunyai idea and visi yang praktical dan yang membawa arus pembangunan kepada negara. Inilah ciri2 yang patut ada pada seorang pemimpin atau tokoh negarawan.
    Sayang seribu kali sayang Kerajaan hari ini apabila dia berkuasa, tidak ada langsung Visi dan planning yang betul2 bole membawa negara ke alam pembangunan yang teratur dan maju. Malah kerajaan di bawah Bahalulwi, lebih terkenal dengan flip flop dan gula2. Apakah contoh2 dan ciri2 yang dia ada yang dapat diambil oleh generasi kini dan yang akan datang? ZERO!!!! KOSONG!!!!!
    Yang ada banyak kerosakan dan hura hara yang timbul, gara2 kerajaan yang lemah longlai dan tak semangat. Pak Lahap takde idea yang bernas, takde visi yang dapat membangun negara dengan teratur, tak layak jadi pemimpin, jadi Ketua Tabung Haji bole lah kot.
    Sekarang kita semua sedar, untuk menjadi PM, tak semudah itu, kalau hanya berbekal Mr. Clean, tapi fikiran kolot dan buntu, negara tak kemana mana, malah jadi mundur. Terlalu banyak yang Pak Lahap ungkit2 kan, dan pembaharuan yang di ura2kan hanya membawa hurahara kepada rakyat dan negara. Pak Lahap nampaknya, tidak ada arah tuju yang jelas, dasar flip flop hanya merugikan Harta dan wang rakyat dan negara, sungguh tidak bertanggung jawab. Pak lahap harus mengundurkan diri dengan serta merta. Itulah cara yang terhormat, gentlemen dan Islam Hadhari. Jangan lah jadi biri2, jangan lah hanya berani memberi ucapan tentang Islam Hadhari, tapi tak tau sendiri.
    Pak Lahap harus tau menghormati rakyat dan negara. Tau mengenang jasa orang yang berjasa. Bukan berdendam kepada orang yang melantik beliau sebagai PM. Busok macam bangkai hati Pak Lahap.
    Kepada kunco2 Pak Lahap dan penjilat2, masa awak semua sudah tiba, Pak Lahap have to get out, Berambus!!! terjun dengan labu2nya dari Putrajaya dan awak semua akan turut bersamanya.
    Kita Rakyat dah tak tahan dengan karenah kamu semua, yang pengecut, bachul, dayus, perakus, tamak, makanlah, hiduplah dengan wang rakyat, semoga kehidupan awak dan keluarga awak, di laknat dunia dan akhirat.
    Pak Lahap dan labu labinya, harus letak jawatan sekarang dan berambus dari Putrajaya. Kerajaan di bawah awak sungguh memalukan, a total disgrace!!!!. We dont deserve to have a pemimpin like you.
    RESIGN NOW!!!! with honour or we will kick you out this December with disgrace!!!!
    HIDUP TUN!!! HIDUP MELAYU!!! MATI PENGKIANAT2!!!! MATI PENGECUT2!!!

  301. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Assalamualaikum Tun,
    I see your vision sir. Hope someday they will realise that.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  302. Dear Doctor,
    Many beautiful places in Malaysia have fallen prey to this same tragedy. Putrajaya is beautiful but do you think that the current government is going to be concerned with its development at this time when all it thinks about is how to maintain it’s survival?
    I agree with the guy who said PD and Langkawi have suffered the same fate. In fact, the whole of Malaysia will suffer the same fate if the present govt maintains this drama.
    I’m sorry that Putrajaya is one of your many failed visions. But if you had focused on developing the people of Malaysia to become world class leaders then maybe Malaysia could have been a different place.
    Nevertheless, it is from the ashes that the Phoenix will rise.
    Selamat berbuka and a blessed Ramadhan to you and family,
    Mikey

  303. Tun,
    Putrajaya is founded and built by you. However your failure successor failed to expand / transform the administrative capital into exciting and entertaining capital at nighttime.
    Yet this is another failure of your successor who just know how to sleep and failed to fight corruption within UMNO. I hate him because he made Tun failed in Kubang Pasu contest.

  304. Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun dan Keluarga,
    Isu-isu begini sepatutnya kena ada follow-up dari kerajaan, bukan semua yang YABhg.Tun rancang MESTI kena hentikan. I don’t really know what AAB has against you but everything that you have started – he has to end it. Sekarang ini, dimana jua saya pergi, 9 dari 10 orang yang saya jumpa akan mengkritik pentadbiran AAB. I’m sure he knows about this, he’s supposed to have eyes and ears everywhere! The thing that puzzles me is that, IS HE THAT IGNORANT? Alangkah seronjoknya seluruh rakyat Malaysia kiranya YABhg.Tun dapat bertanding pada pemilihan UMNO nanti….
    Allah jua yang maha mengetahui….

  305. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Dewasa ini semua orang ingin menjadi pemimpin kerana kuasa dan kekayaan bukannya untuk bangsa, agama dan negara.Namun, saya berpendapat tidak semua menyedari ataupun tidak mahu menyedari bahawa menjadi pemimpin yang dilantik oleh rakyat itu susah dan berliku sebenarnya terutamanya di dalam sebuah negeri yang berbilang bangsa.
    Saya sebagai seorang generasi muda sangat merasa kecewa dalam banyak perkara. Kecewa dengan kepimpinan yang ada sekarang, kecewa dengan orang melayu dan kecewa dengan diri sendiri kerana tidak mampu untuk berbuat apa-apa untuk agama,negara dan bangsa saya sendiri.
    Saya begitu teruja dengan visi 2020 yang Tun umumkan, namun sehingga kini saya merasakan bahawa visi tersebut seperti samar-samar untuk dilaksanakan. Saya selalu berfikir kenapa apabila Tun menyerahkan kuasa kepada Pak Lah beliau tidak mahu mengembleng segala idea, kepakaran dan tenaga yang ada untuk mengimplementasikan dasar-dasar yang sedia ada dengan begitu jaya dan berkesan. Sewaktu umur dalam lingkungan 20-an waktu itu saya merasa begitu bangga mengingatkan dengan adanya visi ini negara yang saya sayangi ini akan menjadi maju seperti negara Jepun kelak. Namun, apabila menginjak ke usia 30 tahun ini saya sedar kenapa visi itu terpinggir, kerana ia bukanlah idea daripada pemimpin yang ada sekarang. Jadi nama, kemasyhuran dan pujian nanti bukanlah untuk beliau tetapi untuk pemimpin terdahulu.
    Apabila parti politik yang selama ini menjadi tunjang kepada sebuah negara menjadi kacau bilau bayangkan bagaimana keadaan rakyatnya. Kami semua kehilangan arah, tidak tahu ke mana hendak dituju. Orang Melayu berpecah belah. Saya pernah ditujukan soalan kenapa kita tidak cuba memberikan tampuk pemerintahan kepada PKR agar mengemudi negara yang saya cintai ini dan saya tetap akan memberikan jawapan yang sama setiap kali ditanya.
    “UMNO adalah parti yang menjadi tunjang perjuangan orang melayu. Tapi orang Melayu sekarang tidak lagi tahu mengenal payah dan jerihnya Dato’ Onn menentang penubuhan Malayan Union dahulu. Orang Melayu tidak pernah mahu belajar daripada sejarah agar jangan lagi mencuba untuk memperjudikan negara kepada sesiapa sahaja yang masih belum diketahui cara pemerintahannya seperti kita mencuba untuk memberikan peluang kepada British dan Jepun memerintah dahulu. Orang kita mudah kalah kerana simpati, mudah tewas kerana pentingkan diri sendiri dan mudah takut kepada kelemahan sendiri.”
    Saya sedih kerana tidak mampu berbuat apa-apa untuk agama, bangsa dan negara saya Tun dan hanya sekadar menjadi pemerhati. Saya tidak sukakan kepimpinan dewasa ini namun saya sedar bahawa saya adalah acuan daripada DEB pemimpin terdahulu. Negara ini telah banyak berjasa untuk saya dan saya tidak akan menyokong parti lain selain daripada UMNO dan BARISAN NASIONAL demi bangsa saya dan generasi masa hadapan. Sudah pasti saya tidak akan memperjudikan nasib saya di tagan parti yang masih saya ragui tujuan utama penubuhannya. Namun sokongan saya bukanlah kerana kepimpinan yang ada sekarang tetapi ia kerana UMNO dan BARISAN NASIONAL adalah parti yang melahirkan saya sebagai manusia yang berpendidikan, berkerjaya dan mampu berbangga bahawa saya adalah anak melayu yang lahir hasil daripada kepayahan perjuangan pemimpin terdahulu.
    Terima kasih.

  306. tun it seems nobody care… biakpi kat depa… you have done a magnificient job. welcome back to UMNO. we need you..

  307. Salam TDM,
    Saya cadangkan agar PBT Putrajaya wujudkan pasar malam, pekan sehari, persembahan bangsawan, teater, pertandingan permainan rakyat atau kawasan permainan ‘indoor’ seperti catur, ‘monopoly’ dsbnya setiap malam Sabtu dan Ahad.
    Pasar ini mestilah menggunakan konsep pasar kering. Tiada sayuran, daging mentah yang dijual. Hanya pakaian, jam tangan, makanan, minuman dan sebagainya.
    Sistem pasar malam atau pekan sehari bukanlah menggunakan sistem sediada di PBT lain tetapi menggunakan sistem yang lebih praktikal contohnya gerai pasar malam mestilah menggunakan lori yang boleh memproses makanan atau minuman di dalamnya bukannya membawa peralatan keluar dari lori lalu disediakan di tapak pasar. Meja dan kerusi sahaja disediakan di tapak.
    Dengan ini, kita dapat mewujudkan kehidupan malam yang indah di Putrajaya dengan acuan kita sendiri.

  308. Biasa la Tun. Bila dah tak berkuasa, yg dulu dok angguk2 kat Tun pun buat la rancangan sendiri. Tapi apa nak diherankan. Klu dulu tak nampak visi Tun, sekarang lagi la blur. Kena tunggu Tun balik ke kerajaan la baru Putrajaya nak jadi meriah….

  309. Dear Tun,
    I think it is to do largely with mentality. For example a Malay Taman just beside Chinese Taman have different aspect in terms of lively atmosphere in comparison. I see the Malay Taman at nightime 7pm onwards, they will mostly turn off most of the lights maybe as aspect of saving electricity bill and will close their doors already and stay inside whereas the Chinese Taman will open more lights and appear more busy around the house. I don’t know if these are the common culture but really got impression on me??? Mostly town center with Chinese resident are very lively atmosphere if perhaps Putrajaya open to more Chinese ownership hopefully the planner have mix races planning then Putrajaya will be more lively. Malaysia culture diversity is ITS STRENGHT Why the planner not practice like these and each race stick their own???

  310. Tun,
    I like Putrajaya.
    It’s a bit far though.
    Perhaps a fast train to the admin capital will help.
    Some shops, etc too.
    The fireworks competition last year at Putrajaya was beautiful, my family says.

  311. 20. I admit being guilty of setting up Putrajaya as the administrative capital. It is very well planned. But it is dull.
    Dear Tun,
    Goverment servant resides there… and most of them are malays… and a big players in our country are mostly chinese…. what make you think they gonna pull a strings there?
    Malay manalaa ada kuasa membeli sangat… mat-mat lepak dan mat-mat rempit ramai laaa….
    Tun boleh compare laaa Alamanda Putrajaya tuh dengan MidValley ataupun mungkin Pertama Complex….

  312. Salam Tun,
    Always like you..bila tengah syok bersemangat nak komen politik, tiba2 main potong stim. 🙂 sesekali tukar angin.. tak reti nak komen hal putrajaya, im from KT, baru 2 kali ke sana. Tapi nak tengok juga mereka2 yang anti Tun komen apa kat sini… mesti ada yang salah. Nak tengok juga mcmana mereka kaitkan dengan racism..
    Cuma satu, saya bangga dengan konsep Putrajaya. Banyak manafaatnya baik dari segi mengalihkan trafik dari pusat KL, pemusatan pentadbiran negara dan sebagai salah satu mercu tanda negara. Macam mana2 projek mega Tun dulu, mula2 memanglah ramai kutuk, istana Mahathirlah mcm2..sekarang dah senyap.
    One thing tentang masa Tun dulu, banyak projek yang dilancarkan, berjalan seperti apa yang dirancang. Nampaklah juga secara fizikal. Tapi koridor2 pak lah masih tinggal koridor di awangan… Apakah legasi yang bakal ditinggalkan paklah? masjid kristal ! masjid di pulau yang tiada penghuni, waktu malam tak boleh masuk ! antara tanda kiamat…masjid didirikan untuk bermegah2 bukan kerana tujuan asalnya. Dan paklah termasuk dalam buku sejarah sebagai orang yang bertanggungjawab mendirikannya. entahlah…
    again, reminder to all Tun supporters…Tunjukkan sokongan yang berkesan anda – tulis nama penuh ! tindakan yang kecil tapi bawa maksud yang amat bermakna pada Tun.

  313. I suggest Tun to include some scenic photos in your blog in future. E.g. The beauty of Paris Vs The beautiful of putrajaya.

  314. Apabila bertukar ke Putrajaya tahun 2005, saya juga merasa hairan kenapa malam hari di Putrajaya sunyi dan menakutkan lebih-lebih lagi sepanjang boulevard terutamanyanya berhampiran PICC. Berjuta RM dibelanjakan untuk limpahan lampu yang begitu mewah tapi tidak dapat dinikmati sepenuhnya oleh warga putra maupun pengunjung. Agaknya pentadbir Putrajaya sudah tidak kreative lagi atau ketandusan idea atau terlalu takut membuat perubahan. Seharusnya mereka boleh berfikir …
    Banyak lagi keperluan warga putra yang gagal disediakan. Nak repair basikal pun kena keluar..

  315. What a waste of electricity when the global fuel price is so high. They could have turned them off and subsidise the low income families off their household utilities bill. Poor mamagement. Shame on them. Can’t blame them though if they followed your instruction to build cafes, entertainment, shops, etc in the first place. To me, it feels like the current govt like to spends when it’s not necessary and unwilling to spend when it’s truly needed. Wonder what’s on their mind.

  316. Well said Tun. Every walk of life in Malaysia only recognizes Putrajaya as the administrative capital and nothing else. I would say that there’s hardly 5% of chinese or indian would opt to move there. Why is it so? The infrastructure of the place is magnificent, but sad to say, the basic amenities hardly attract any medium scale entrepreneurs. Some of the places are not well taken care of too, resulting in broken pillars, cracked tiles and it’ll soon be an eyesore to the public or even visitors. Why built such a magnificent place and not take care of it? Are those responsible sleeping on their job again or maybe corruption is in practice? I hardly think that anything would be done since you’ve already said that you, our once respected PM (still are) not being in the Government can’t influence anything anymore. So, come back as an advisor to the Government maybe? Just a wishful thought! Have a good day sir!

  317. Dear Tun,
    If I were Pak Lah I would continue to put added value to Putrajaya. Pak Lah yang duduk dirumah resmi Sri Perdana, di Putrajaya tidak dapat mengilhamkan idea dan tak tahu bagaimana nak meningkatkan pembangunan Putrajaya ketahap yang lebih canggih, maju dan bertaraf antarabangsa.
    Tahap pemikiran Pak Lah hanya setakat untuk membuat kandang kambing atau kandang kerbau sahaja.

  318. Salamz Tun,
    Setuju Tun, itulah yang sebaiknya di Putrajaya,
    Putrajaya lebih indah kalau diserikan dengan lampu warna warni disamping ada orang ramai diwaktu malam,bersiar-siar bersama keluarga serta pelancong-pelancong yang tak putus2 menangkap gambar,di Tasik2 yang terdapat restoran terapung dengan hidangan ikan bakar atau seafood dan Kompleks-kompleks membeli belah dan cenderahati dan sebagainya.

  319. dear tun ,
    i totally agree with u , the place is actually very beautiful ….some times it need great foresight to build beautiful places ….u made it tru more than half way …u just missed out the last few places …but never the less its a place that i can still show off during the day .

  320. Tun,
    Now i begin to understand the job of a PM. I myself headed small companies before and i agree that not all of my staff understand or listen to me, and there are those who even dare go against me. So i accept here also that those we led has to understand and think along the same lines we first instruct them to see.
    It is almost impossible to be with your staff every moment monitoring that they do not miss the big picture. But it often happen. The successful managers are those who somehow predict what will go wrong and arrest them before they happen. Some even have to keep firing and rehiring to get to the right people.
    What i am saying is that to manage a vision requires more skills and alas not everyone has every skill – from visionary to managerial.
    I had the same criticsm of PJ when i first saw it. It doesn’t even have a mamak in those early days. But today with more grassroot self publishing through blogs and forums, we can manage the world better. Look at wikipedia, it has no government but built an enclopedia that has 100,000 writers and near real time online publication.
    I also hope that any government be it BN or PR (come tomorrow who knows) also read my comment and use the web for its rightful potential.

  321. Assalamualaikum TUN,
    I’m totally agreed with that. To sustain a city we need the people and some activities. Even at night. Because without these activities it might cause many problems and make this city not safe to lived in. I cannot see this city for Malay, because the environment itself not Malay friendly. It is such of waste if we cannot appreciate it during night, because from my personal view it is very important on how the city will be at night. I have this experience at Putrajaya at night when visiting my friend. And it really seem to be nothing happened at night. Just empty. I miss the feeling like I had when have the dinner with my parent at Tepian Tebrau, Johor Bahru. It is really happening place. Not just for Malays. But from what I know it is already moved to another place. And also Putrajaya seem have nothing special if you go because as example during ramadhan, as a consultant we finished our meeting and waiting for our friend to pick us, we totally lost, cannot decide which place is good for rest. We cannot eat. So it is preferable to go to place that had not this kind of smell (Godaan).
    People should not to blame you, because you already built this city. But now it is up to the people who have power to change all of this thing. Maybe the government now should revised back what happened here at Putrajaya.
    (Sorry if wrong words, tell me if I’m mistaken)

  322. Dear Tun,
    It seems that you’re following every aspect of nation development…
    – Jinggo Rock –

  323. I thought when we have Putrajaya… Traffic in KL become better, but it is not… coz people who’s working in Putrajaya (most officer and above) choosing to stay in KL…These people are still love KL..so do I

  324. Ya Tun, hope the powers read this & dengar nasihat Tun.
    Zaid dah letak jawatan. Tun, komen sikit tentang ribut ISA & things happenning in pak lah’s kabinet.
    Semoga Tun terus sihat sejahtera. Love u Tun

  325. Referring to point no.19, that’s exactly how Malaysia will be if all “pendatang” never came to Malaysia.

  326. Salam Tun,
    Its difficult for the leader that can’t see what is goin on under his nose. Blind or be blinded?? We still wondering??
    Selamat berbuka.

  327. No wonder people sitting up there are sleeping in Parliment. It’s too dull and they’re always sleeping when important laws are being passed. Can you imagine? The whole country taken on a ride by sleepy heads? How humiliating!!!!

  328. Saya baca artikel yang menyebabkan Tun menulis di sini.
    Saya tak dapat menafikan kandungan penulis tersebut dan setelah membaca tulisan Tun, Tun pun mengakui fakta yang disebut di dalam artikel itu.
    Saya walau seorang, ingin memberitahu Tun bahawa Putrajaya is a success. Anak-anak saya amat bangga dengan kewujudan Putrajaya.
    Even when we are scrolling on the quite roads at night.
    This are motivating factors to them in ensuring ‘dia orang boleh berdiri sama tinggi dan duduk sama rendah dengan apa bangsa pun di dunia ini’.
    What Putrajaya needs is just to become better and better like all of us.
    We have to start somewhere. Tun you have got it started.
    Those who are ignorant of the starting point usually cannot imagine how the end will be and therefore are blinded of what it actually is.

  329. Dearest Tun,
    The Putrajaya mosque is the second one I’ve been into, for me being a non-Muslim, and the architecture I witnessed is a marvel.
    I have not seen the crystals mosques, or what there have there, in Terengganu. But I doubt being expensive means the buildings are masterpieces.
    Still, the visit was a few years back when Tun was the premier. Back then, the streets was largely quiet due to incomplete constructions everywhere.
    By now, all areas should be populated. Not until you pointed out your views here, I thought Putrajaya is a strange design in Malaysia terms, but yet a cosy and open concept.
    And now, it will probably be left a white elephant with nobody bother to plan upgrades or maintain it.
    It is sad no one appreciates your vision and plans for a better Malaysia.

  330. Tun, Selamat Menyambut Ramaddan, semoga situasi sekarang memberi tekanan yang kuat untuk Pak Lah resign secepat mungkin. Tanpa ayahanda Tun, tak wujud lah PutraJaya, yang menjadi kemegahan rakyat Malaysia.

  331. Salam Ayahanda Tun..Moga Tun sihat sejahtera.
    Alhmdlh Tun..This is my first comment after reading your blog from day one.
    I basically agree with your statement. Putrajaya, especially that part of it memang look dead..even during day time, except for those government buildings yang deal with lots of public, eg imigresen etc.
    A lot need to be done for sure. Having noble idea is one thing, but implementing it in the best possible way is another matter. Hope people yang plan the future one will have more vision..bukan setakat bangunan yang cantik, but the feeling of the place must be right as well.
    Maksud saya, ‘roh’ tempat tu mesti ujud..
    Ok Ayahanda Tun..
    Saya harap Tun sentiasa dilindungi Allah selalu. Dan semoga Tun dan Tun Hasmah dilimpahi keberkatan, kerahmatan dan kenikmatan di bulan Ramadhan ini..serta diberi ganjaran LailatulQadr yang tidak berpenghujung.
    Harap Tun jaga diri..dan teruskan perjuangan yang akan direstui Allah..insyaallah.

  332. That very typical of malaysia actually. someone will star something brilliant, but these lazy people in government offices will complain and complain about the ideas and at the end of the day it will be scrapped half way. hangat2 taik ayam.
    look whats happening to the science and math in english.

  333. France has been independent for hundreds of years, don’t compare Malaysia to France. We have not reached their toes.

  334. Hello Tun,
    I’m a new commentor on your blog despite being a frequent visitor here. I have to admit that Putrajaya has yet to achieve the “night fame” as what KL and other places has achieved. I believe it’s due to the perception that administrative capital are strictly meant for govt related business matters thus preventing people from accepting it as a place to hang out. On the other side, Cyberjaya has become a place for purely private sector related business matters. I agree with you that measures indeed has to be taken to overcome this issue. Otherwise,Malaysians would be known as “pandai bikin benda, tapi tak pandai jaga”. You have a great day ahead Tun and God bless.

  335. The powers in Putrajaya are only being used for the minister’s own benefit.
    The powers do not benefit the citizens of the country.
    Why should the rakyat grant powers to these same people again and again when the citizens are on the losing side?

  336. Good day.
    Just at the write time, I just came back from Putrajaya to settle something. And I have a something to comment.
    The buildings there certainly are very well designed and attractive. The bridges are magnificent. But the position of the signboard too closed to the junction that we should turn when we about to exit Putrajaya going into the highway. To make matter worse, some of the signboard are covered by trees.
    Besides that, a map of Putrajaya should be visibly placed at certain areas as there are many buildings there and it is pretty hard to look out for the building we wanted to go.
    And i totally agree that malls should be build there. Many a few Starbucks???
    Its a good plan to build Putrajaya. It makes things look more systematic.

  337. Dear Dr. Mahathir,
    Your point is highly significant with regard to the comparative study on the urban development, particularly with reference to the Muslim world. It is evident in the researches of the scholars and historians that Muslim world has been considered lacking in this field for centuries. Hopefully some academic works will be conducted on this vacuum area.

  338. Putrajaya is indeed a magnificent place that has brought initial pride to the people. It surely needs people to enjoy and make it more vibrant- otherwise it will sadly remain as nothing morw than a monument.
    Am surprise to hear that the Putrajaya as it is now is not a result of the master planning started by you! Did he change it, like the other plans and projects started by you?!

  339. akum tun… apakah petua yg membolehkan tun jadi sehingga ke hari ini. kalau boleh di kongsi bersama segala pengetahuan, ilmu, amalan, pengalaman etc… tq

  340. Salam Tun…
    Saya sokong Tun…
    Putrajaya perlu dihidupkan di waktu malam… Kasihan penduduk Putrajaya yang mungkin agak bosan di rumah… Bagi yang berkeluarga, boleh la bersama keluarga, kalau yang berseorang?
    Idea menjadikan Putrajaya sebagai satu pusat pentadiran merupakan idea yang bagus di mana semua kementerian berpusat di satu kawasan… Saya tak rasa Tun bersalah dalam menjadikan Putrajaya bandar pentadbiran, cuma Tun tidak meletakkan ‘alternatif lain’ selain daripada bangunan kerajaan sahaja…
    Anyway, Putrajaya is a great city… But, only for its design… Not for the crowd or for the PM right now…

  341. How can you be talking about how putrajaya being dull when there are Malaysians held under ISA in worse conditions? How do you feel being treated like a dog in your own country?

  342. Hi Tun,
    It’s a shame that you can’t have any influence on what/how things should be done anymore.
    I envisaged Putrajaya will be beautiful only if proper planning and much after-thoughts are put into developing it.
    Take care.

  343. Betapa jahanamnya Malaysia di bawah pemerintahan kau Dolah. Cukup la, rakyat dah tak larat nak tengok kau menjahanamkan Malaysia ini.
    Hang bukan sayang kat Malaysia macam kami sayang. Hang tak kan rasa apa2.
    Kami nak Malaysia moden. Kami nak Malaysia maju, mengikut acuan Malaysia.
    Hang sendiri pun sebenarnya tak tau kata Hang tu tak berapa cerdik.
    Tun,silap Tun pilih orang bodoh jadi PM.
    Sebelum ni Tun suka buat keputusan yang tidak popular. Tapi sekali Tun buat keputusan yang popular, jahanam terus Malaysia.
    Tapi ini semua sudah penentuan Allah sejak azali. Marilah kita sama-sama berdoa agar bala ini dihentikan segera oleh Allah SWT.
    Ya Allah, selamatkan kami dan negara kami. Berilah kami pemimpin yang cerdik, yang boleh membawa kebaikan kepada kami, dan turunkanlah pemimpin yang lemah dari menjadi ketua kami. Amin, Ya Rabbal A’ Lamin.

  344. u do too many things to bring this country to the glory..Glory,glory,glory..mahathir..glory..glory..glory,malaysia..

  345. Dear Tun,
    When you have extra money, just send 50% of it to buy a property. Don’t forget you need to maintain it..and that will be costly.
    This is what is happening now. There are many ministries which do not need a big office space for their operation. Previously, they are occupying only small office space in KL, with minimal expenses.
    Now you can actually enjoying big lobby and reception counter in each building, or floors.
    But then, have you ever consider the daily expenses government need to pay? Like you said, Putrajaya has lights almost as bright as those in Paris…and not a single soul is benefiting from that.
    I think due to high expenses to maintain Putrajaya, current government is having less money to spend…and eventually the rakyat suffer.
    Do hope something can be done here. All the best.

  346. Salam Tun,
    Mungkin pegawai2 kerajaan di putrajaya terlalu penat bekerja di siang hari & ingin habiskan masa di rumah shj bersama keluarga pd malam hari. Perbadanan should do something yg happening pd mlm2 minggu utk keluarga bersantai di luar.
    Selamat berpuasa dan selamat hari raya.

  347. assalamulaikum Tun,
    1st time saya jumpa berdepan dengan Tun masa Tun baru keluar masjid Al A’la Jitra lepas sembahyang Jumaat…saya cukup bangga dan sampai sekarang masih berbangga dapat bersalam dengan pemimpin paling hebat dalam sejarah malaysia…sampai sekarang Tun tetap pemimpin paling saya kagumi…Kota Putrajaya yang memang gah diwaktu siang bagaikan kota hantu yang dikelilingi cahaya lampu di waktu malam dan memang satu kerugian bagi malaysia…nak bayar lampu2 tu pun satu pembaziran jugak..tak habis2 dengan pembaziran…alangkah baiknya putrajaya tu jadi tempat rekriasi untuk rakyat2 jelata beriadah malam2 jalan2 lepak2 nie dari membazir je pasang lampu bagi kapai terbang tengok malam2 lintas nak p KLIA…Kata2 Tun memang betoi dan orang yang tak mau dengaq tu yang ada sumthing wrong ataupun terlalu bebal untuk faham… =)

  350. i love the quietness of putrajaya at night. many of my friends go there to take photos of the beautiful landscape and buildings. however, it will be a plus if more activities can be done at night there. coffee shops or outdoor cinema would be lovely. hopefully, no mat rempits will gather there and cause problems like they always do in the city.

  351. Neither everyone has vision nor imagination.
    However it is a must for a leader.
    It is sad that Putrajaya is lifeless except for Carrefour Alamanda.

  352. salam Tun,
    Putrajaya needs to have a more vibrant city feel to it.
    We experience the same atmosphere here in Bandar Penawar,Johor albeit on a much smaller scale.
    It is also beautifully developed but strangely,banks do not want to set up branches here yet,although campuses and private institution are blossoming.
    It is also out of the way and some people do not even know it exists.
    Some things need to be done fast to ensure the livelihood of businesses struggling to survive.

  353. Dearest Tun,
    I agree with Tun. Hopefully the government people (LEADERS) will take note of whatever advices/ideas Tun is giving them, FOR FREE. Please start listening to Tun. I believe Tun is still the greatest living Malaysian leader.
    Teruskan perjuangan murni Tun & SELAMAT KEMBALI KEPADA UMNO. Tolong perbaiki UMNO dan BN yang telah dirosakkan oleh pemimpin2 yang degil dan bodoh sombong.
    May Allah bless Tun and family.

WE ARE TIRED TO SEE THE DRAMA WHICH IS PLAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH DIFFERENT ACTORS ONLY. PLEASE HELP OUR COUNTRY AND BRING IT BACK ON TRACK. NO ONE ELSE CAN DO THIS ONLY YOU.
    THANK YOU !

  356. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Pemimpin yang ada sekarang ni memang tidak dapat berfikir seperti mana yang Tun fikirkan untuk negara ini.
    Hanya memikir bagaimana nak penuhkan kocek mereka selagi ada waktu. Kesannya Melayu akan tergolek jika tiada siapa yang berani membawa perubahan kepada kepincangan yang sedia ada…
    Ayuh UMNO cawangan dan bahagian-bahagian berikan sokongan anda kepada mereka yang bakal menerajui dan mengembalikan era kegemilangan UMNO dan Melayu di negara ini.

  357. Asalamualaikum TUN
    sebelum ini saya hanya guna nama samaran, sbgai tanda sokongan kpd perjuangn TUN maka saya kini akn guna nama sebenar. walaupun ada yg beranggapn mgunakn nama sbenar agak berisko krn mudah dikesan dan dibuli oleh mereka yg berkuasa dan berpengaruh, namun jika saya dianiaya dgn pihak penguasa dan berpengaruh itu menyalahgnakn tindakn undang2 smata2 saya menyatakn kebenaran dan apa yg benar. saya akn tuntut keadilan di PADANG MAHSYAR, di mahkamah Allah terhadap mereka yg tidak adil terhadap saya. saya akn tuntut keadilan di sana. hidup kita mungkin tak sampai 100 thn dan dlm kehidupan dunia itu pula dianiaya dgn tindakan perundangn yg tidak adil oleh mereka yg menyalahgna kuasa. tp mereka itu kelak saya akan pastikn tak lepas dr tindakan undang2 di mahkamah padang mahsyar dan menerima hukuman yg amat pedih tak terhingga bkn setahun dua tp beratus2 thn atau sepanjang hayat mereka dlm kehidupn selepas mati.

  358. Tun,
    Tangan Tun ada dua sahaja. 2 tangan ini yg telah lahirkan Putrajaya. Jadi saya rasa, tak adillah kalau semua orang harap hanya 2 tangan saja yang akan membangunkan Putrajaya. Kemana perginya tangan-tangan selepas tangan Tun?

  359. Salam buat YBhg Tun.
    Putrajaya sepatutnya dijadikan sebuat bandar yang penuh gemilang. Saya percaya jika Tun masih lagi memerintah, sudah pasti Putrajaya akan membangun dengan pesat dan menjadi sebuah bandar yang amat maju dan berdaya saing dengan bandar-bandar yang tersedia ada di dunia ini.
    Putrajaya juga sebuah bandar yang begitu menarik jika kegiatan perniagaan dan hiburan berterusan sehingga lewat malam, ini bagi membantu sektor ekonomi Negara tambahan pula boleh membuka peluang pekerjaan yang banyak kepada penduduk tempatan dan membawa kemasukkan pelancong yang banyak kerana Putrajaya menawarkan pakej bandar yang lengkap termasuk hiburan dan shopping.
    Jadi amat dikesalkan, jika tidak ada inisiatif membangunkan bandar Putrajaya sebagai bandar yang berdaya saing selari dengan bandar-bandar yang terkemuka dunia.
    Salam

  360. Tun,
    I must admit that Putrajaya is the nicest place to be in Malaysia.
    Building Putrajaya is one the most genius project you have accomplished.
    I always go to Putrajaya as I live nearby. The most incredible thing I like is the Bridge Structures. I wonder why the same nice structures never being built in other part of Malaysia?
    But one thing I DONT LIKE is the space and too much emphasis on the wealthiness of the office environment. Next, there are only a few staffs there, whereas the space is too big, like a hotel lobby, but yet, the parking space for rakyat is too little.

  361. Assalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga
    If your scrifice to establish that great capital of Putrajaya is a sin, let us do the same in Kedah as well..Yes, I’m agree with you. Putrajaya is not as bright as Paris at night, but at least it still the best in terms of working and enjoying environment.
    Thousands of families are able to spend their night life at Putrajaya Bridge, taking photos of great architecture monumen and buildings and relaxing moments at Putrajaya Lake. For me, it is good enough for Malaysian people. Wasatiah Tun..that is the best
    Thanks again ayahanda Tun for creating Putrajaya. I went to that place hundreds of time but unfortunately, now I return back to Kedah, to stay “nearer” to you.
    Take a good care of yourself and may Allah bless you always.

  362. Salam Yg Bhg Tun,
    I have to agree this with you. Putrajaya is a very dull city, not only at night but also in the daytime. I have stayed there in 2003-2005. Nothing much to do at night. Masa tu Supermarket pun tak ada lagi and shops and restaurants around the area puntak banyak. The only nice place to go at night is the shopping area near the mosque. It is a pity that a very well planned city turned out to be like this. Something has to be done for example , the ground floor of every Government building be rented to major restaurants or shops. With this I believed ramai lah orang pi jalan2 malam2. A Hotel around the area could also be good. Salama / Baftim

  363. Salam Ayahanda Tun, received you loud and clear on that one sir. I remember when you used to drive your Pajero at night around KL and PJ with your small note book at hand. Datuk Bandar then never had it easy I recall. Tun Paris is nice, but it’s dreary. The people are rude and almost pompous especially at restaurants. I still think that home is sweet home and yes I agree, Putra Jaya needs some breathing and living after the sun goes down. It has become one very serious business district lately. Like driving through Kremlin?

  364. Dear Tun,
    It is all because of si Dollah tu. org kampung saya cakap Dollah ni sesuai jadi pegawai kebajikan masyarakat je. Serah negara kat dia hancur semua. Yang peliknya kenapa dia rasa hebat sangat sampai bertegas sangat nak tunggu sampai 2010. Tak tau ke dia yang grass root UMNO dan lain2 dan meluat sangat dengan dia ni…
    Selamat berpuasa

  365. Salam Tun
    I think nightlife is a natural occurance. Many places have tried but failed to liven a place up. Prime examples like australia canberra (really dead place) etc etc. Furthermore Paris has hundreds of years to evolve. Putrajaya around 10 only so what you hope for might still happen 10 or 20 years down the line. All in all Putrajaya is a good long term plan even if just for the benefit of reducing traffic in KL haha

  366. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Saya sering juga ke Putrajaya atas urusan dengan badan Kerajaan disana. Tidak dinafikan Putrajaya memang suatu binaan yang indah dan tersusun. Malam pertandingan bunga api menampakkan kesesakan aliran kenderaan yang bertali arus. Diharapkan , projek LRT dapat diteruskan untuk melengkapkan prasana moden di bandar pentadbiran ini.

  367. I believe Putrajaya is a very good example.
    If you use ISA, DEB and chase out the Chinese and Indians from this country, the whole country will be as dull as Putrajaya.

  368. finally!!!! thanks Tun for bringing up this matter.
    We bought a property in cyber coz we can see the future of Putrajaya and Cyberjaya under your management. “Ku sangkakan panas hingga ke petang rupanya hujan di tengah hari.”

  370. Salutations Tun,
    About 10-odd years ago, I was a mere college student in Klang Valley. Back then, with little money and too much time, the favourite gathering areas were the liveliest nearby ‘warung mamaks.’ Malls held little sway… they were a fair distance away and personal transport was an issue for us.
    Then 1-Utama opened. Me and my mates would find any and every chance to go. Before class. After class. Weekends… But everything past that area was ‘too far.’ Too little going on. Too boring. Too troublesome to go to for relatively little. Now we find ourselves there every other weekend or so at The Curve, Ikea, etc.
    You are right. The success of an address, or anything for that matter, IS by and large dependent upon its peoples.
    No people = no life = impending death (and a slow one at that)
    No matter what is said or what opinions are, Putrajaya is a shining example of the standards we can achieve. But without life, I suspect it may only be a poor white elephant waiting out its days.
    Selamat berbuaka puasa later on.
    P.S. As an ‘ethnic minority’ in this country, I do so enjoy the annual ramadhan fests which make it easy to enjoy nasi kunyit, rendang, roti jala, ayam percik and otak-otak all in one place!

  371. asalamualaikum tun,
    ape yang tun sampaikan semuanya jelas dari segi idea dan pendapat tun
    selamat berpuasa

  372. AYAHANDA TUN,
    CERTAINLY! I FIND NO BETTER THAN TO AGREE WITH YOUR IDEAS AND VIEWS ABOUT PUTRAJAYA. PUTRAJAYA IS NOT ONLY MEANT FOR DAYTIME ONLY.. IS THAT WHAT ARE WE PROUD OF..! MALAM JADI BANDAR MATI..

  373. dear tun,
    totally agree, same thing for Langkawi & Port Dickson, get somebody with the knowledge to rebuild them. These places are packed with potential to be the next great tourist destination. feel sad to see they never meet their potential.

  374. Salam Tun,
    Putrajaya dah cukup bagus…kena meriahkan lagi je…tak la dull sangat. highway ke putarjaya siang mak ai punya la banyak kereta,,malam tidur atas jalan pon leh….

  375. Good afternoon Honorable Tun,
    God bless Tun & family with good health.
    Putrajaya is a symbol of Malaysian. Tun has done a good job!! Something extraordinary for Malaysian. I believe in times to come when the public transportation become more accessible, population of Putrajaya increase, we will see City of life comes alive.
    God bless.

  376. Tun,
    May be it is the intention of your current successor to make Putrajaya dull. After all, Putrajaya is a brainchild of Mahathir, not Pak Lah.
    Such is the state of mind of our current PM. He will not want much credit to go away from him.
    But future generations will surely accord you with due credit, Sir.
