THE BARISAN NASIONAL II

1. When the Barisan Nasional did very badly in the March 2008 general elections, all the component parties except those in Sabah and Sarawak experienced losses as they had never done before.

2. In the aftermath of the elections, the component parties pointed accusing fingers at each other. Very quickly they were at each other’s throats.

3. There were talks about leaving the BN. And now we are seeing the first party to do so and to become an independent party.

4. Where before all parties avoided raising sensitive issues in public, now in the name of democracy and liberalism sensitive issues are brought up in which the component parties of the BN make known the differences in their view. The result is to widen the divide separating the BN component parties.

5. When Ahmad Ismail made unpalatable remarks about the Chinese, it was made out that it was the view of UMNO itself. Far from denying it, the UMNO leadership accepted the blame and apologised. This solved nothing as the Chinese parties refused to accept the apology but demanded the culprit himself should apologise.

6. He refused and UMNO whose president heads the Government suspended Ahmad for three years. This may satisfy some Chinese but almost immediately the Government arrested a Chinese MP under ISA. The effects of Ahmad’s suspension have been nullified.

7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.

8. Threats to leave the BN are made by the Chinese parties, not just because of Ahmad’s refusal to apologise but also because of the impression that they are subservient to UMNO. They believe that the failure of Chinese voters to vote for them was due to this junior position they hold in BN. To correct this impression they found it necessary to take pot shots at UMNO and defy the BN leadership.

9. Privately UMNO, MCA Gerakan and MIC express their dislike of Dato Seri Abdullah and his Premiership. But none seem willing to acknowledge that it was dislike for Abdullah which caused the BN to lose the support of the people. Instead they picked on the parties and blame each other.

10. At the rate things are going the BN might split asunder. If each party go their separate ways, none would become a force in Malaysian politics and certainly none, not even UMNO, can aspire to form the Government of Malaysia. Of course they can all join the Opposition under Anwar, but they would still play a subservient role in the Opposition. In any case the Opposition withi its ideological incompatibility would not make a good Government, capable of handling Malaysia’s multi-racial population. It is difficult to think that the hodge-podge collection of incompatible parties can handle oncoming economic and financial problems that are inevitable.

11. The stability of this country has been undermined by the weakness and incompetence of the current Government and the harsh bickering between the Government parties. A Government by the Opposition is not going to be any better and probably would be worse.

12. Currently we are seeing the loss of confidence in the ability of the Government to deal with economic problems. Foreign investors are not coming and together with locals are pulling out their investments in the stock market. From a high of almost 1500 the index is now below 1000. God knows how much market capital has been wiped out.

13. The Ringgit is depreciating and may shrink further. The cost of living has shot up. Businesses are having a hard time already. The recent decision to tax excess profits of the Independent Power Producers has caused foreign investors and locals too to lose confidence. The tax has now been withdrawn but not for the first year. This alone would put the IPPs in trouble with their banks.

14. In at least one case a foreign investor has been given back his deposit of almost 100 million Ringgit because allegedly there was some technical error.

15. I once said Malaysia as a multi-racial country needs a strong government. Multi-racial countries have to face race relation problems. With the need to handle racial problems, the managment of the economy becomes extremely difficult.

16. I cannot see the Opposition with its loose organisation being able to handle Malaysia’s racial and economic problems.

17. In the past, the BN Government had managed to keep Malaysia stable and to develop the country as well. If it seems not to be able to do so now it is not because the BN as a party is no longer suitable for this country. It is simply due to very poor and incompetent leadership.

18. The component parties of the BN should not think that their best hope is to see the demise of the BN. Rather they should all come together to resuscitate it. If it is necessary to dump the leader than they should do so. But destroying the BN will neither be good for the component parties nor for the nation.

19. I am not an UMNO member even but I would like to suggest the component parties should stop blaming each other, stop taking pot-shots at each other. Instead they should all come together and review the structure of BN. They should try for a win-win or lose-lose solution in dealing with inter-party relations. They should listen to the people and to their own members and find ways to satisfy their needs; to overcome their dissatisfaction.

20. There must be some new thinking on the BN concept. But the basic premises about close collaboration between the parties, about the need to help each other, to accommodate and deal with grouses together should be maintained.

21. I believe that for this multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural country with extreme economic disparities, the BN is still the best political solution provider. It is still the best way for the different races to cooperate to govern this country.

22. As the Malays say “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.”

23. We must not throw out the baby with the bath water.

24. The BN is still relevant. It is still the ideal coalition for Malaysia’s multi-racial population.

  1. Greetings Tun. Greetings All.
    The ailments suffered by Malaysia are due to Malaysians themselves. Malaysians must blame themselves first rather than anyone else. It takes a great man to be able to admit his flaws. So, I call upon everyone including Tun to ask themselves what is their attributes to the sickness that Malaysia is experiencing. What can you do to help cure it? Yesterday is gone. It is tomorrow that must be looked upon. Bickering among you, whether in this blog or out there, will do no one any good. In any war, there is no winner. So, please wake up to reality. There are so many things that need to be done. You can beat your chest and tell the world that you are better than your neighbour. Are you really better? It is true that Malaysia has achieved so much. Do remember though that others succeeded as much, if not more, as well. Like it or not, despite whatever you may bemoan, your neighbour is already a first world country while you are still developing. Don’t you think that, instead of hitting at each other, you should pull your resources and race with each other to make Malaysia a first world country in the very near future?
    I am no smart aleck. I am very sure all of you are much learned. I am just nobody giving my worthless comment.

    Your comment:
    I dont agree on your point no.7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays.The rakyat are not angry with each other,it is the politicians (you included) that is trying to split the races in order to gain support and popularity.The rakyat are dissapointed with the quality of our PM and the cabinet.Look at how our Home Minister handle questions from the press,oh my god!! Cant believe he is a lawyer.Well, NEP product mah !!!
    My comment:
    Syed Alba has done a terrific job handling the sharp questions by media. From your writing I guess you are a chinese who read chinese newspaper. if I am not mistaken, we may be neighbour. Recently, Donald Lim suggested to sell off the stakes hold by Nanyang. Do you know why?? Because the newspaper has gain tremendous profit and circulation through DAP – focus on dissatisfaction among the chinese through DAP’s mouth. The China Press has gone above the line on one coverage for the sacking of the chief post of MPAJ due to “roboh kuil india’. Of course we chinese feel proud that PR has won in the case. But do you know that it was MCA that supported Nanyang all this while to protect the chinese community in a Malaysian way whereby MCA has to play the role that is agreed by all components in BN. Yes no doubt MCA has lost in 308 election, but DAP pakat with PKR, Pas, Hindraft to topple the government when BN is weak by playing the takeover by PR leader and now the ISA agenda. Do you trust PR can govern our contry? I doubt so because all the newspapers that supported the opposition are in fact racist and out of control. Please open up your mind and think in a Malaysian way (regardless your race). We can support any components we think suit our agenda, not the component that can do harm to Malaysia and the economy.

  3. Salam Yang di kasihi Tun,
    Walau apa pun komen yang diberikan oleh semua orang, ianya tak akan boleh merubah kepada yang terbaik atau seperti yang terdahulu. Perubahan kuasa dan pucuk pimpinan perlu segera dilakukan baru ianya akan merobah segalanya. Tidak ada sesiapa yang tahu akan apa yang ada dalam fikiran,pandangan,rahsia, strategi dan cara pimpinan yang tersendiri pada seseorang yang akan memimpin negara ini. Seperti juga macam Tun M dulu, macam2 dia ubah, ada siapa tahu? Terfikirkah semua orang bahawa detik jam diubah? itu menunjukkan ketegasan dan pemimpin yang berwawasan yang pentingkan kemajuan rakyat dan negara. Harap2 Najib dan Muhyiddin bekerjasama dan cuci bersih2 apa yang ada kat keliling kita sekarang. Jangan takut, nanti bagi tahu kabinet dan orang2 dlm MT BN supaya ikut cakap PM dan TPM.Sesuatu yang dah confirm kat dalaman saja baru boleh dikeluarkan. Sebab diluar banyak Media yang mulut celupar dan lalang negara. Sekarang tidak ada waktu untuk cari harta, betulkan dulu negara dan rakyat jelata kemudian bagi saksama, maka dtanglah harta… jangan rakus.. ingat siapa sebenar yang bekerja untuk pendapatan negara?
    Fikir fikir lah, saya yakin Tun boleh bantu dan beri pandangan kepada dua orang itu supaya negara dan maruah negara terbela.
    TK.

  4. Pengisytiharan Hilal Syawal 1429H

    Selasa, 30 September 2008 06:40
    ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR ALLAHU AKBAR, LA ILAHA ILLALLAH, ALLAHU AKBAR, WA LILLAHIL HAMD
    Segala puji bagi Allah, selawat dan salam atas Junjungan Besar Nabi Muhammad saw, keluarganya, sahabat-sahabatnya serta sesiapa sahaja yang mencurahkan taat setia dan mengikut baginda, sesiapa sahaja menuruti jejak langkah baginda dalam memperjuangkan akidah Islam sebagai asas pemikirannya dan menjadikan hukum-hukum syarak sebagai kayu ukur perbuatannya serta sumber undang-undangnya.
    Telah diriwayatkan oleh Al-Bukhari di dalam kitab Sahihnya bersumberkan dari Muhammad Bin Ziyad ra yang berkata,
    “Aku mendengar Abu Hurairah ra berkata, Rasulullah saw bersabda, atau ia (Abu Hurairah) berkata, ‘Abu Al-Qasim (saw) bersabda: Berpuasalah kalian apbila melihat hilal dan berbukalah (berhari rayalah) apabila melihat hilal, dan jika kalian tidak nampak akannya, maka genapkanlah Sya’ban 30 hari”
    Setelah melihat hilal di bulan syawal hari semalam (Isnin – 29 Ramadhan), secara syari’enya, hilal telah disahkan dilihat di beberapa negara umat Islam. Oleh yang demikian, hari ini (Selasa – 1 syawal) adalah hari raya Idul Fitri.
    Dalam kesempatan ini, Amir Hizbut Tahrir sedunia al-Alim ‘Atha’ Bin Khaleel Abu Al-Rashta (semoga Allah melindungi beliau), memohon kepada Allah agar merahmati umat ini dan sesiapa sahaja yang telah memperjuangkan risalah Allah. Allahu Akbar! Semoga Allah melindungi umat ini dan menerima segala ibadat kita di sepanjang Ramadhan dan semoga Allah memuliakan umat ini dengan kedatangan Daulah Khilafah al-Rasyidah tidak lama lagi.
    Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil hamd.
    Ketua pejabat media Hizbut Tahrir dan kesemua warga kerjanya dengan ini mengucapkan tahniah kepada semua Muslim di hari raya Idul Fitri ini, dan kami memohon kepada Allah agar merahmati umat Islam dengan kedatangan seorang Khalifah Rasyidah yang mana kita akan berjuang dan berlindung di belakangnya.
    Semoga Allah swt menerima ibadat kami dan ibadat kalian.
    Wassalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu.
    Sambutan Idul Fitri 1 Syawal 1429H adalah bersamaan dengan 30 September 2008.

  5. pls lah, ini forum antara negara M’sia lah, jangan pula gaduh dengan rakyat negara lain. orang lain pun kasi pandangan saja, agak jiran mereka itu sedar dan bangun.
    kalau negara nak kuat, rakyatnya mesti lah bersatu tak kira bangsa. rakyat haruslah beri sokongan kepada kerajaan, bukan suka2 ikut perasaan. yg suka saja ikut perasaan dan suka tunjuk perasaan haruslah di tahan, sebab kelakuannya sudah memusnahkan keamanan dan menyebabkan kekacauan, telah membangkitkan pembencian dan keselesihan persefahaman antara bangsa dan kaum.
    Dtk Syed Hamid tidak salah, org bawahannya tidak salah, kerajaan tidak salah; agak apa juga langkah yg diangkat cuma utk menentukan keamanan dan memberhentikan kekacauan.

  6. Tun, greeting,
    I like the comment written by Kerbauogos. Fascinating and professional in nature. Though it seemed in favour of the Indian and the immigrant(if we can still use the word now?) He also made a comparison between Singapore and Malaysia which to my opinion is quite inappropriate. Probably someone is asking why? Easy. In a society like Singapore or probably the U.S. Chinese in Singapore makes up more than 80% of the total population and in America the white makes up almost 90%. They do not feel any racial threat. The selection of these people to their current post are actually just make-up (I am definitely sure that out of 280 million American, there must be more than half which is more competence and capable compared to Condoliza Rice.)Get what I mean…? Some additional ingredients purposely add in to make the soup tastier and liked by everybody. Where as in Malaysia the situation is different, here we are saying it again and again, we advancing and developing within our own ‘casting'(I don’t know if the word is right)Acuan bah…Meritocracy? What if it is made of artificial intelligent, is there still a merit in it. I give you one example, something which is bought, not genuine? What we really need is a leader packed with genuine quality, sophiscated mind, futuristic, strong psycically and mentally etc. Someone far outdoes Mr Lee Quan Yu of Singapore. If he or his son rule Malaysia – I am sure muntah angin punya. Governing Singapore is easy, slightly bigger than Sarikei in my state Sarawak… kacang…

  7. Salam Tun dan selamat hari raya!
    I agree with u, Tun. Sepatutnya setiap parti komponen BN bekerjasama memperbetulkan keadaan dan bukannya saling salah menyalahi atau mencari salah komponen yang lain. BN sebuah parti yang melambangkan persefahaman dan gabungan pelbagai kaum yang tinggal di Malaysia.
    Tak terasa macam budak sekolah ke.. macam budak kecil yang takut kena marah (walaupun tak buat salah) sibuk bergaduh dan salahkan orang lain.Langsung tak menunjukkan ciri kepimpinan jadi bagaimana rakyat nak letakkan kepercayaan?
    Tak kiralah pemimpin melayu ke cina ke semuanya kadang-kadang memeningkan kepala. Isu perkauman dan agama pula yang dijadikan mainan. Paling mengecewakan ialah lontaran kata-kata dari ahli umno yang tersebut tu.Mengatakan orang lain sebagai pendatang seperti itu tidak sepatutnya berlaku. Sebagai muslim pun bukankah kita perlu hormat menghormati dan menyakiti hati orang lain itu berdosa.Sedangkan kita pun sebenarnya tak boleh panggil seseorang dengan nama yang tidak disukainya seperti “Yahya gemuk” atau “Tam tempang”. Jangan pakai songkok depan kaca TV tapi apa yang diamalkan tak seperti songkok yang dijunjung.Kalau tak profesional macam tu..lebih baik balik kampung tanam jagung…
    Saya pun orang melayu tapi saya tahu adab sopan dan santun orang melayu. Pemimpin yang baik bukan cakap ikut sedap mulut tapi berfikir sebelum bercakap. Orang tua-tua kata “Kerana mulut santan binasa”..
    It’s not an easy journey for Malaysian for several years ahead. Tak tahu apa lagi akan berlaku. Belum lagi campur dengan isu yang ditimbulkan oleh pembangkang yang dah ada kerajaan sendiri.
    Sepatutnya berhentilah dari tikam sesama sendiri. Tumpukan pada keperluan rakyat. Ini bukan setakat kisah harga minyak naik semua orang jadi marah. Tapi kekuatan pimpinan BN itu sendiri saya rasa. Orang kata dalam rumahtangga suami umpama nakhoda. Gagal nakhoda gagallah rumahtangga. Diharapkan BN mampu memeperbetulkan kesalahan dan buktikan kepada rakyat keteguhan, kepimpinan dan kesungguhan mereka. Bercakap sahaja tak guna. Kami ada mata melihat dan poket yang semakin nipis setiap hari ni kadang-kadang memang buat orang cepat naik darah…
    Tun,
    terima kasih di atas kepimpinan Tun yang lepas.
    Maaf zahir batin

  9. Muka AAB nampak baik, tetapi biasa orang macam ini hanya tau jaga kepentingan diri dan air muka sendiri. Jom bagi AAB ‘chance’ sampai October 26 ini, dan kita bilang apa akan terjadi pada hari itu. Saya percaya orang yang baik biasanya tak tau bikin ekonomi. Bila I turun padang, orang Malaysia tidak puas hati dengan kenaikan petrol yang terlalu tinggi (rakyat panik), dan ramai berpendapat AAB memang tidak boleh dipercayai. Jadi oposition parti ambil kesempatan ini untuk mengambil alih BN. Walaubagaimanapun, BN tetap akan berkuasa. I dah nampak ada perubahan pada diri ahli-ahli BN yang dulu selalu lewat sampai ke upacara, sekarang dah “on time” lah. Yang paling menyedihkan hati bila seseorang masuk politik hanya untuk kekayaan. Tetapi selepas March 8, orang yang mempunyai fikiran ini tidak akan berjaya kerana rakyat Malaysia dah bijak!!!!

  10. DEAR DR M :
    THIS IS MY 6 TH ATTEMPT SINCE 25 SEPTEMBER TO SEND MY COMMENTS TO YOUR BLOG IN RESPONSE TO LRJ’S COMMENTS DATED 25 SEP, BUT YOU HAVE FAILED TO PUBLISH IT. THE CONTENT IS NOT MALICIOUS, AND THE LANGUAGE USED IS NEITHER VULGAR NOR OFFENSIVE. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU EXERCISE SELECTIVE CENSORSHIP TO FAIR COMMENT – ESPECIALLY IF IT IS NOT IN YOUR FAVOUR. I WILL HAVE TO FIND OTHER AVENUES TO AIR THIS COMMENT IF IT STILL DOES NOT GET PUBLISHED. ISN’T IT STRANGE THAT YOU CAN ACCUSE PAK LAH’S GOVERNMENT OF CONTROLLING THE MEDIA AND CENSORING YOUR THOUGHTS, BUT YOU ARE GUILTY OF THE SAME ?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This post is a reply to LRJ about Indians & Singapore.
    The Indians in Singapore make up only about 8.7% of the population. BUT, within the main Cabinet of 20 Ministers in the Singapore Government, there are 4 Indian Ministers; as follows :
    1. Professor Jayakumar – Deputy Prime Minister, and also the Co-ordinating Minister for National Security.
    2. Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam – Minister for Finance.
    3. Dr Vivian Balakrishnan – Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports.
    4. Mr K Shanmugam – Minister for Law.
    A simple calculation will reveal that the Indians make up 20% of the Cabinet. Obviously, if we look at the statistics in a very narrow and parochial manner, some people will be tempted to say that Indians are over-represented. BUT, that is NOT the case in Singapore because MERITOCRACY is at work and widely accepted. The Indians have made it because of meritocracy. Despite being a minority, the system has enabled them to excel and contribute to society. Unfortunately, that is not the case in Malaysia. Despite being capable, you will not find it easy to prove yourselves.
    Incidentally, the President’s post in Singapore, though largely ceremonial in nature – is also held by an Indian – Mr S.R. Nathan. Whether Indians, or Malays or Chinese or Eurasians or other races, Singaporeans are increasingly seeing themselves as “Singaporeans” first, and as a Malay, or Chinese or Indian, etc second.
    Singapore is afterall, a very young country – at ony 43 years old. In perhaps 50 to 100 years, they may totally see themselves as just “Singaporeans” more and more.
    Also, they have Indians in other important government appointments :
    1. Dr Balaji Sadasivan – Semior Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    2. Mr S Iswaran – Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Trade & Development
    3. Ms Indranee Rajah – Deputy House Speaker
    4. Mr Inderjit Singh – Deputy Government Whip
    Whatever our race, we are the Human Race. We should harness whatever talent we have to better Malaysia and live harmoniously. Unfortunately, we all know that some people who got into positions of power through unmeritocratic means have abused their positions to enrich themselves. Some can “wayang” so well that they pretend to be fighting for the rights, honour and prestige of their own people; and holler into the microphone and bay for blood – claiming to protect their race, their rights and their religion. Yet, look closer and you will see his “other hand” under the table or behind his back …. doing something corrupt and deplorable. Why are some Malaysians so naive ? (Samy Vellu, are you reading this ?) The government’s policy is also driving the people further and further apart.
    I look forward to the day when Barack Obama gets elected President of the USA. It will be a symbolic victory for all people in the world who are minorities in their countries; yet can rise to the highest office in the land.
    The practice of meritocracy in the US makes it possible. May the best man win; and DO GOOD FOR ALL regardless of your skin colour ! THEN YOU WILL COMMAND EVERYBODY’S RESPECT BECAUSE YOU EARNED IT – AND NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE BESTOWED OR BORN INTO IT. Nobody told Barack Obama that he is a “pendatang” or “penumpang”; and “kalau you tak suka, you boleh balik Kenya !” Admittedly, America is not perfect. There is also racism here and there. But at least there are no huge blocks or barriers placed to deliberately obstruct your path. Someone wrote in an earlier post that we need a Nehru or Mandela to save Malaysia. Is there a Nehru out there ? And I said a “Nehru”, NOT a “SAMY VELLU” !

  11. Sitinur,
    Tolong buat analisis sebelum kamu comment. Dr. Syed ada khak meluaskan fikiran dia, dan kami boleh “contest” dia kalau tidak agree, secara bersopan.

    On Barisan Nasional II
    I say, too much change will probably fuel the economic turmoil. So, lets just reshuffle the cabinets.

  13. Assalamualikum Dato Seri , rakan-rakan dan salam sejahtera pada semua,
    Sebagai sebahagian dari warga negara MALAYSIA, saya amat berharap agar semua pihak termasuk parti komponen barisan nasional dan parti pembangkang dapat mengenepikan semua kepentingan, perasaan ego dan duduk semeja.
    Bersifat terbuka dan yang penting sekali kawal emosi. Anda semua adalah pemimpin-pemimpin negara. Jangan biar rakyat tertawakan anda semua. Tunjukkan pada kami anda semua profesional. Kami amat berbesar hati sekiranya anda dapat duduk berbincang bersama dalam keadaan santai tanpa sebarang bentuk emosi. ini negara kita. Negara semua.
    Bukan caranya untuk anda bertikam lidah menunjuk-nunjuk ego. Tolong lah. Kami semua mahukan kedamaian. Cukup la `tuduh menuduh` , `api-mengapi` , `lalang` , `pengampu` yang ada sekarang. Sebagai bangsa melayu. Tunjukkan contoh pada bangsa lain. kita warga peribumi harus bersatu. Bukan begini porak peranda. Berbincang.
    Dan pada semua penyokong-penyokong setiap parti. Tolong la jangan merapu-merapu bagi statement. Anda semua akan mengeruhkan keadaan. Diam adalah lebih baik dari berkata-kata. Diam tidak bermakna kita jahil atau salah.
    Pada semua bangsa. kita bersatu. jangan sesekali kita pertikaikan hak-hak yang sedia ada. Cukuplah perang untuk memerdekakan MALAYSIA.
    ingatlah pada generasi yang akan datang. Bersatu bukan hanya untuk sekarang. Tapi untuk anak cucu kita.

  14. Dear Dr.M,
    Economic crisis, Inflation and racial tension, these are the current major issues and also phrases often used by everybody in everywhere. As Dr.M mentioned, there is no point blame each other. Being a ‘pointer’ won’t solve any problem but being a ‘doer’ the problem might reduce gradually. I believe all Malaysia citizen should work out their part to overcome the current crisis.
    Regards,
    Memories

  15. Tun,
    Is it the time to create “UMNO BARU II”? I’not an umno member but a strong BN supporters all the while. What I can see here current government is so weak. Why?Because UMNO is very weak. I can’t see any UMNO contribution to the society the pass few years – the significant one. So, I would like to propose that you take a lead if we need “UMNO BARU II”.

  18. I would like to know if our country is really democratic? If so, why is it that our PM’s job is being “handed over” ? Shouldnt it be an elected position by the people, for the people?

  19. salam tun
    kemana arah kita agaknya….wahai MALAYSIA…??
    tun
    what is the key to our success?
    are we in the plunging support?
    tq and selamat berbuka…

  20. to ALL commentators who seems to be blinded by the supreme hatred of one man to my country…Negara Singapura.
    Dr Syed..take no heed their lame “intellectual” repartee. Its not worth the effort. Seriously, they only good at mud slinging..btw its an artform mastered by the “Great one on the other side of the RED DOT”.. I love that connotation.. so easy for them to remember.
    Every time they see a RED dot…wah laah…eyes green with envy..!!
    One thing they got it right though.. we copied their projects that would do good for us here..F1,Casino,err…can’t think anything else now..
    BUT..we also remember NOT to do their cock ups!!! lol.
    Love these guys..I used to be angry with them, but after reading the lacked of essence in their arguments..I now used it for my relaxation therapy.
    You should try it too..
    Ignore those stereo typing racist sorry excuse for a human being…
    If this is published…wow..gua kaya beb!! office running a bet here.

  21. Pelan Peralihan Kuasa perlu disokong kerana ianya adalah merupakan satu butiran perjanjian yang menjurus kearah perpaduan Melayu dan juga untuk menamatkan kecelaruan politik UMNO sekarang ini dimana retak menanti belah.Kalau sesiapa sayangkan UMNO mesti sokong pelan ini kerana untuk kewibawaan parti UMNO untuk masa depan.

  22. I think about this Singapore thing. It all started when Tun commenting about Malay Singaporean. Now we have seen a lot of comments from Singaporean and from Malaysian to Singaporean.
    This remind of of the incident in Penang. This guy Ahmad Ismail trying to incite racial sentiment and says that the chinese are squatters.
    Of course Tun being a statesman and everything, he is not going to says what the guy from penang says. It will create chaos among the community.
    However, saying about singapore is quite safe and convenient. It did manage to raise racial sentiment. That is the purpose anyway to get people stir up. I wander how long people is going to realize that this is all a political game.
    We should be more mature and stop throwing pot shot at each other , just because of a statement from a politician.

  23. Dear Tun,
    Saya rasa sesiapa ahli-ahli Majlis Tertinggi UMNO yang menyokong supaya peralihan kuasa dikekalkan, semua mereka akan gagal dalam pencalonan untuk merebut kerusi MT. Percayalah! Banyak dari ahli-ahli MT akan menjadi mangsa kerana melawan arus angin kencang yang datang dari ahli akar umbi yang mahukan Pak Lah berundur diri.
    Mereka salah langkah dan membuat percaturan yang BODOH akhirnya mereka MELOPONG. Tersingkir !!!

  31. Dear Sir,
    I would like to express my concerned over the news of Raja Petra Kamaruddin (RPK) being detained under ISA.
    I had been reading quite some of his writing and i would like to say that its quite enjoyable although some argue that its a bit confusing and too critical. However, i don’t think that his article will actually incite hate among different races. As for the saying that some of those article insulted Islam, do bear in mind that some Ustaz had been reportedly mentioned that ISA is not Islam friendly in the first place. Thus, it doesn’t make sense that a law which is not Islam friendly was used to so called “protect” Islam for not being insulted. Furthermore, i believe that Islam’s teaching are good in nature and i also believe that most Muslim are wise enough to differentiate the good vs evil; black vs white, and thus, won’t be “Incited” easily.
    Anyway, if it is indeed true as reported in news that the police had enough evident to show that RPK’s article is seditious, then why don’t the government / police sue him under the existing law? Else, please release this poor old man.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Poh Soon

    To shariff 5.: Very brave of you to pose such a comment to
    Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad.
    A chicken hearted commentator posing a ridiculous
    comment to a Great Statesman.
    If we were to reversed the scenario and instead
    of posing the comment to Tun, THOSE COMMENT WERE
    POSE TO YOU.HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER IT? I BET YOU
    CAN’T BECAUSE YOU’RE A SUCH CHICKEN HEARTED
    AND STUPID COMMENTATOR.
    Semasa maut sedang menjemput Baginda Rasulullah SAW,apakah ucapan Baginda di saat itu? Ada 3 dan salah satu nya ia “UMMATI UMMATI”
    dan Baginda hanya teringat akan UMAT NYA SAHAJA.
    BEGITU LAH KEADAAN NYA ORANG YANG MEMPUNYAI KEBESARAN DAN KEBERSIHAN JIWA.AKAN SENTIASA MENGINGATI DAN MENYAYANGI AKAN ORANG2 YANG PERNAH DI PIMPIN NYA WALAUPUN SEHINGGA KE LIANG LAHAD.
    Begitu lah juga keadaan nya Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad .Bukan kah beliau juga seorang pemimpin yang pernah memimpin orang2 dan juga rakyat Malaysia? Memimpin Negara Malaysia sehingga di kenali di dan di segani seluruh dunia? Memimpin Malaysia hingga ke mercu kejayaan?.
    AKU TIDAK MENYAMAKAN TUN DR MAHATHIR DENGAN BAGINDA RASULULLAH SAW – JAUH SEKALI . AKAN TETAPI DALAM DIRI TUN DR MAHATHIR ,TETAP MEMPUNYAI KEBESARAN DAN KEBERSIHAN JIWA UNTUK MENJADI SEBAGAI SEORANG PEMIMPIN SEJATI DAN SANGAT SAYANG KEPADA RAKYAT MALAYSIA
    DAN TIDAK MAHU MELIHAT NEGARA MALAYSIA YANG TELAH DI BINA NYA SELAMA 22 TAHUN SEBAGAI NEGARA YANG DI SEGANI DAN DI HORMATI,MENEMUI
    KEHANCURAN DI TANGAN SEORANG “PEMIMPIN YANG BUKAN PEMIMPIN”YANG LEBIH MEMENTINGKAN KEKAYAAN KELUARGA NYA DARIPADA PENDERITAAN RAKYAT MALAYSIA SENDIRI.
    APAKAH SAUDARA Shariff 5 BEGITU BUTA HATI DAN BEGITU BODOH SEKALI UNTUK MENGETAHUI CIRI -CIRI DAN SIFAT SEORANG PEMIMPIN SEJATI?
    Jangan lah kamu bertanya soalan no .3 kepada sesiapa pun kalau KAMU SENDIRI TIDAK MAMPU UNTUK MENJAWAB NYA.
    WASSALAM

  33. Saya cuba nak tanya kepimpinan yang ada.
    Jika ditakdirkan Singapore ditimpa bencana seperti gempa bumi dahsyat atau Tsunami yang melenyapkan sama sekali terus dari peta bumi.
    Apa tindakan Kerajaan?
    -Adakah govt dengan mudah membuka tambak Johor kepada Singaporean?
    -Bolehkah pelarian Sing’ kita biarkan merempat dibumi M’sia?
    -Adakah PM Sing’ akan merayu M’sia menerima rakyat mereka?
    -Adakah govt akan membuka kewarganegaraan?
    -Bolehkah rakyat ‘yang ketinggalan’ itu mengikut undang2 style M’sia?
    -Kalau M’sia tak benarkan adakah M’sia dikira tak berperikemanusiaan?
    -Apa tindakan Govt untuk membendung kebanjiran pendatang Sing’ ini?
    -Macamana kalau-kalau mereka ini naik tocang?
    -Bagaimana nak mengatasi gejala sosial yang akan dibawa pendatang ini?
    Saya secara peribadi cadangkan agar jangan diterima masuk orang tak sedar diri ini ke M’sia biar mereka tenggelam duduk tengah laut atau halau mereka ke Indon, Filipin atau Australia. Kalau diterima juga “Negara” Sing’ mesti ditukar menjadi “Negeri” Singapura. PM dan rakyat negara over confident ini mesti menjadi rakyat yang baik dibawah naungan Seri Paduka Baginda Yang DiPertuan Agong.

BEGITULAH TERJADI KEPADA BN(UMNO). MEMANG SUDAH DITAKDIRKAN UMNO(BN) AKAN MUSNAH. SAMA SEPERTI TELEFON BIMBIT YANG TIDAK AKAN MEMUASKAN HATI PENGGUNA SELAMA-LAMANYA. SUATU KETIKA KITA INGIN TELEFON BARU YANG LEBIH CANGGIH, MEMPUNYAI KEISTIMEWAAN DAN PEKHIDMATAN YANG LEBIH BAIK. MUNGKIN INILAH BALASAN YANG ALLAH BERIKAN AKIBAT KESILAPAN2 YANG TELAH DILAKUKAN OLEH BN(UMNO) SELAMA INI…
    KELEMAHAN PAKLAH, FAKTOR ANWAR DAN PEMBANGKANG HANYA PENYEBAB KEJATUHAN BN(UMNO) KERANA IA MEMANG SUDAH DITAKDIRKAN. TERIMALAH HAKIKAT INI. BN(UMNO) TIDAK AKAN MEMERINTAH SELAMA-LAMANYA.

  35. Tun,
    Ini lah jadinya bila RPK masuk ke dalam dan sibuklah tukang komen Malaysia Today cari tempat lain untuk meluahkan masaalah mereka.
    Sekali imbas kita dah tahu yang mereka ni sebenarnya adalah orang orang yang sangat kecewa, apatah lagi pemimpin tersohor mereka asyik menunda tarikh bila nak jadi PM.
    Kalau dah desperate sangat sampai penjenayah pun nak di jadikan PM, mereka ni sebenarnya amat bergembira kalau negara kita hancur.
    Kalau tanya, mereka akan jawab kita bukan hina Islam, tapi hina penganut Ugama Islam….Kita bukan benci Melayu tapi kita benci orang Umno….itulah jawaban standard yang diberikan walhal kita tahu bos mereka RPK pun menghina Ugama dan mengakui dia masih lagi mencari tentang kebenaran Islam dan menganggap sunnah Rasulullah itu kemungkinan hanya cerita rekaan semata mata. Kalau tak percaya sila baca tulisan tulisan beliau dari awal lagi, itu pun kalau belum kena delete.
    Pengikut taksub beliau dengan bangganya menganggap solat, megerjakan haji dll hanyalah ritual yang tidak penting.
    Mereka cukup gembira melihat org Islam berbunuhan sesama sendiri, seolah olah penganut ugama lain tidak berbuat demikian.
    Mungkin dewasa ini banyak peperangan berlaku dikalangan org Islam tapi jika kaji sejarah pembunuhan berjuta juta org banyak berlaku di negara majoriti nya penganut ugama lain contohnya Jerman, Cambodia, Russia dsb.
    Peperangan sesama Islam juga sekarang ini banyak melibatkan faktor faktor lain seperti minyak dan di api apikan oleh kuasa kuasa besar yang mempunyai kepentingan masing masing.
    Kesalahan org Islam memanglah banyak tapi menyalahkan mereka 100% adalah pandangan yang amat meloyakan.
    Tapi, saya juga inginkan supaya beliau dihadapkan ke mahkamah atas tuduhan yang berkaitan dan bukan dibawah ISA.
    Kepada pembenci TUN, janganlah harap Tun akan memberi response kepada anda supaya anda boleh berbangga kerana mendapat perhatian, tapi sebaliknya pergilah layari blog blog seperti Jebat Must Die atau Sakmongkol yang akan dapat memberi penjelasan atas kekeliruan anda selama ini. Itu pun kalau mereka ada masa nak layan orang yang buta kebenaran seperti anda.
    Wassalam

  36. We need an effective leader to lead Malaysia. Whoever could lead, prove to yourself to the nation. Malaysia is a peaceful and beautiful country. All the best, Malaysia boleh!

  37. Dear Tun :
    I am not sure I can agree with you that the BN is the best option for the country. Admittedly, PKR might not be good too – as you correctly pointed out – the component parties have deep-seated ideological differences. It is a marriage of convenience.
    BUT : when someone is faced with the option of having to choose between 2 evils; any thinking person would choose the lesser of the 2 evils. It so happens that the rakyat thinks PKR is now the lesser of the two evils, and they are prepared to wage a gamble. WHY ? Because 5 decades of power abuse by the powers that be have plundered the government over and over. It is also a joke that the likes of Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo could actually have made it to become Chief Minister of Selangor. Now, he is agitating by the sides to regain power and control – so that he can continue to sit in the ivory tower. When he was just a doktor gigi, he was probably more idealistic, honest and selfless. But when he controlled power and riches, his apetite became insatiable. We all know what his wife Datin Seri Zaharah Kechik tried to do when BN lost control of the state government. She tried to remove RM 10 million from Balkis …. I suspect that Khir Toyo is now creating all this wayang and drama to shield himself from all the attention which ACA might otherwise shower on him. Now, he styles and champions himself as the pembela maruah dan martabat orang-orang Melayu. He knows that by so doing and loud sabre-rattling, he will be safe, because his cronies and followers will ensure that they protect their Hero (in a sheep’s clothing) and the law cannot get him.
    Tun, I have read your works, and I know that deep within you, you have a sincere and burning desire to do good for Malaysia. That is why I still have high regards for you, although I disagree with your approach and methods. But, looking at the quality of the MPs and Ministers you put into your government, it is no wonder that Malaysia will not do well – especially in future with all the desakan dan tekanan zaman globalisasi. You may disagree with DSAI, but the extension of the NEP and affirmative action is the surest way of burying the martabat orang Melayu. The government needs to immerse their Malay scholars in the real corporate world overseas. Since you dislike the West so much, maybe you should immerse them in Japan or Korea or even Singapore. Oh, I forget. You hate Singapore even more, and without fail, in your blog posts, you keep on insinuating that Singapore is bad, insensitive and ill-treats the Malays. Is it because the Chinese taxi driver drove you to the gardener’s shed during your undergraduate years in the University of Malaya in Singapore that you felt so hurt that you have never been able to forget and fogive ? It seems to me that you want to influence all your readers to have the same jaundiced view about Singapore.
    I am no big lover of Singapore, and for that matter, no country is perfect. But the fact that it can achieve so much with totally no resources (not even enough land, water, sand, stones and rocks !) after being expelled must put us in Malaysia all to shame. We have plenty of natural riches. Similarly, Myanmmar, Indonesia, Brunei, etc, etc. Are you saying there are no lessons to be learnt from Singapore ? Even your daughter Marina wrote sometime last year that there are valuable lessons to be learnt. Perhaps it is because of your feeling of wanting to pertahankan maruah orang Melayu that you refuse to admit and swallow humble pie. If that is the case, I don’t blame you. It amazes and amuses me why you keep harping on Abdullah abandoning the crooked bridge project. You actually wanted to leave behind a LEGAGY as the Prime Minister who built The World’s First Crooked Bridge project. Goodness knows how much that project would have cost Malaysia, and how much it would cost to maintain; and how much economic benefits it could return – and whether it was worth the money. But you were OBSESSED ! You were prepared to pour hundreds of millions of RM which could have been used to improve our national infrastructure into a silly costly crooked bridge project just to prove to Singapore that Malaysia Boleh (… Bina Jambatan Bengkok !). Sometimes, I think you bring embarrassment to Malaysia. Incidentally, each time I drive to Singapore, I am amazed by the standards and quality of its infrastructure – expressways, MRT, LRT, airport, seaport, etc, etc. Last Saturday, they opened Southeast Asia’s longest underground tunnel – the KPE (Kallang Paya Lebar Expressway). Dr M, you should try driving through it as well. They funded all those projects using their own money gained through years of robust economic growth managed by a competent and honest multi-racial government. And ours ? How did Ling Liong Sik the previous Transport Minister get so rich ? Oh, I am sorry. He is not rich. His son Ling Hee Leong is rich. Samy Vellu ? Could Malaysia not have done the same or better ? Where did all the country’s money go to ? …. when in fact proper management by a good, honest and competent government would have made all the difference. Instead, much of our money was used to build the world’s tallest Twin Towers, start a failing national car project, and launch a Malaysian into space – just to show the world that Malaysia Boleh. The cosmetics is good for a while, but when the cosmetics start to fall off under the heat, we do not know how to hide our ugly faces. Now, that is the problem and cancer that affect the BN government. So far, there is no cure for cancer …. and the only way to lessen the danger is to amputate or excise the diseased parts. Sigh.

  38. Sang Ketua bukan sahaja perlu didesak/dipujuk selalu untuk melepaskan
    jawatan, malah mulai dari sekarang MT juga perlu didesak terus-terusan
    untuk mendesak Presidennya letak jawatan.
    Ahli MT nampaknya selama ini tidak tahu atau tak mahu ambil tahu
    keadaan akar umbi. Mereka gagal menyuarakan keluh-resah orang dibawah.
    Seolah2 mereka berada didalam dunia mereka sendiri, bukan mewakili
    masyarakat melayu yang mereka pimpin.
    Walaupun Tsunami politik 7 bulan berlalu kesannya masih dapat
    dilihat sana-sini, Sekarang ternampak mereka sudah tersedar dari
    lamunan panjang seolah-olah selama ini tiada arah tuju. Sekurang2nya
    desakan itu menjadi guideline arah tuju yang betul perlu dipikul
    selari situasi yang sebenarnya berlaku.
    Ia meringankan beban dan azab sengsara yang ditanggung PM kebelakangan
    ini dek memerah otak memikirkan macamana caranya dia hendak
    melepaskan jawatan dalam keadaan yang terhormat dan penuh kegemilangan.
    Bilakah tarikh yang sesuai itu akan tiba. Kita sedia maklum PM kali
    ini memang teramat lembab nak buat keputusan.
    Kini PM tidak keseorangan lagi, MT bersama-samanya dan bersedia
    membantu melicinkan transisi yang dirancang dikaji kadar segera.
    Tidak perlu fikir banyak nak tanya pendapat anak-menantu dan isteri,
    ini boleh merunsingkan fikiran. Dengan cara itu keputusan akhirnya
    dapat dicapai sebulat suara dan lebih meyakinkan.
    Inilah dilemma yang mengusutkan keadaan kerana hendak menjaga hati
    semua pihak, kewibawaan institusi parti, presiden, rakyatlah dan
    macam-macam perkara remeh yang tak sudah-sudah, hanyalah melengah
    perjalanan negara itu sendiri. Ia harus ditangani cepat dan semua
    ini patut dihentikan segera.
    Dilemma Badawi, Dilemma Letak Jawatan..

  42. Yo, nori on September 24, 2008 10:11 AM
    Brader,
    1. Memang pengolahan ayat saya semacam kerana saya dah lama keluar dari racist Malaysia dan kerana saya berumur lebih 50 tahun saya begitu lebih fasih mengunakan Bahasa Inggeris. Tetapi saya, bila ada peluang, minat bertutur and menulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia. Boleh kah kamu bertutur and bertulis dalam 3 bahasa? Tak mungkin, kerana hampir semua orang Melayu di Malaysia hanya boleh menguna BM and sedikit Bahasa Inggeris (kebanyakannya buruk). Hanya orang bukan Melayu di Malaysia boleh menguna 3 bahasa dgn baik, dan ramai orang bukan Melayu yg berumur kurung 40 tahun lebih fasih dalam BM berbanding dgn orang Melayu.
    2. As to your question why BN did well for so long under Tun, there are many reasons. However, if you face the truth and understood the hatred the Malays had for Tun (Maha Firaun, remember) when he left government in 2003, you would acknowledge that BN would have been decimated if Tun had led it into the 2004 GE. Remember that in 1999, BN was saved by non-Malay votes, not the Malays. So why did the people give the 90% landslide to AAB in 2004? It was because people believed his promise to rid the country of the excesses, corruption, oppression, cronyism and blatant racism of the Mahathir years. But why did they take away his 2/3 majority in March 2008? It was because he failed to rid the country of the excesses, corruption, oppression, cronyism and blatant racism of the Mahathir years as promised. Now you don’t have to have studied overseas to see the logic of that and my conclusion that AAB lost the 2008 GE because he failed to end Mahathirism. Q.E.D brav!

  44. kepada Shariff_5 on September 22:
    kurang ajar adalah perkataan yang paling tepat buat kamu. Islam tidak boleh didakwahkan sebegitu. Masih banyak lagi ayat dan perkataan yang sesuai. Islam itu indah tetapi bahasa kamu mencemarkan Islam. Niat yang baik sudah jadi busuk. Lain kali belajar bersopan.
    Tun telah banyak berjasa kepada negara. Dengan izin Allah, Tun telah bertungkus-lumus membangunkan Malaysia bukan saja untuk anak-anak Tun saja tetapi juga untuk kita semua mencari rezeki tanpa prejudis terhadap semua agama mahupun bangsa. Tergamak kamu mengeluarkan bahasa sebegitu terhadap seorang negarawan.
    Saya yakin, Allah lebih memandang Tun dari kamu kerana Tun telah banyak beramal jariah melalui kerja kerasnya selama ini. Cuba bayangkan berapa juta rakyat Malaysia yang mampu hidup dengan selesa atas usaha Tun? dan berapa kerat pula yang hidup atas titik peluh kamu?
    Akhir sekali, saya nak tanya kamu, apa yang kamu telah berikan kepada Islam, Malaysia dan Melayu? pada saya cuma mencemarkan sosio-budaya saja sama macam Anwar Ibrahim.

  45. Dear Tun,
    Salam sejahtera dan semoga bahagia berpuasa. Harap yang ini lulus…
    PARTI BN BERCAKAR
    Semua masaalah BN di Semenanjung disebabkan Umno yang ANGKUH- bukan permintaan parti lain. Di Sabah Sarawak tiada masaalah sebab Umno betul betul berkongsi kuasa (Ketua Menteri atau Timbalan bukan Umno) Jadi BN tidak ditolak rakyat. Sebaliknya Umno Sabah S’wak yang meluat dengan Umno semenanjung membolot semua kekayaan. Di semenanjung di benci pengundi, di Sabah Swak dibenci Umno sendiri. Inilah Umno Semenanjung yang kepala besar!
    KEBESARAN Umno
    Rakyat benci meluat dengan Umno yang angkuh, sombong, liar, penghasut, tak adil, rasuah, mat lesen, mat kontrak dll. Tak pandai berhujah dengan hemah membuta tuli mengecam segala permintaan untuk adil sebagai anti Melayu, pertikai hak istimewa, persoal kontrak sosial, naik atas kepala, menghina Melayu mcm-mcm lah! Kuasa di tanganmu, nak beri tak suka hati kamu, apa nak api apikan keadaan – orang lain bukan boleh buat apa apa, boleh bising saja. Tapi semarakkan api perkauman, menakutkan satu sama lain tunjak pendekatan Umno 51 tahun. PAKAI SAMPAI LAPUK!
    Bekasar atau BERBAHASA?
    Orang saran,minta dengan bahasa Umno(melalui sekutunya) tolak dengan berkasar – dia lawan dengan tunjuk perasaan jalanan, mencarut maki hamun, fitnah. Contoh Uitm, tindak balas Ahmad Ismail, membuka keris. SIAPA BESAR KEPALA? – yang minta dengan bahasa atau yang berkuasa bertindak liar.
    Yang melapurkan kata benar Ahmad Ismail masuk ISA, yang melapur fitnah terhadap Theresa Kok lepas, mangsa pula disumbat ISA! RPK tak menganjur satu demonstrasi pun, sekutu Umno demonstrasi nak merempuh mencedera orang! Siapa kena ISA? Inilah Umno, satu ahli dia kena 10 orang mesti terima padah. Mcm dasar rejim Israel.Umno boleh bantah tindakan Raja dengan ‘berkumpul’ di pintu Istana bawa sepanduk,tapi orang lain?? Tau sama tau. SIAPA KEPALA BESAR?
    Dah berkuasa insaf,rendah diri,berhemah sedikit agar dihormati SEMUA!

  46. Tun,
    Tumpang lalu:
    1. LIEW, you wrote, “Our beloved Tun Dr. M is not always right or prefect but if those finer points that Dr. Syed wrote can be taken as a lesson to be learn by the M’sia Govt,”
    1a. Then, your comment should have been directed to your friend the Dr, NOT to us! Your friend ‘The Dr’ should write to the Government/Pak Lah on ‘his brilliant ideas’ NOT to Tun! LOL!
    2. You also wrote, “It is his people and their agents in the ministries and agencies that screw-up Malaysia. If not for the corrupted, lazy, good-for-nothing Ministers and head of agencies, Malaysia with TDM leadership would have been even more significant. TDM is not god and he alone cannot control very aspect and details in his drive to globalize Malaysia. He needs good, honest and capable people to assist his drive forward but too bad most of the better ones are working for other Govt. or become citizen of other country.”
    2a. If those were the case, you should have directed this comments to your good friend ‘The Know-It-All Doctor!’ then and NOT to us! LOL!
    3. STOP BEING A PUSSY CAT!

  47. To Dr Syed Alwi and co, pls do not post in many different names. You sound the same whichever way you phrase the sentences.
    Your knowledge or understanding about inter faith is null. You are also a muslim who knows nut of your own religion ( if you are a muslim, that is). Tudung is not a uniform you can take out anytime you want. There are rules to that. And don’t talk about other people’s religion if you do not have any thing good to say about it.
    So, in summary, don’t talk nonsense about religion when you have no clue of what you are discussing about.
    No need to cover up with the doctor title. In here, you may be someone else, you can probably be some BN spin doctor trying to show that there are outside respects to our current premier. Who knows if you are even one of the KJ committee member?
    I also have no interest to blast on singaporean moslems or say much about their predicament. Only for people like this so-called Dr syed alwi, you have no right to say anything about our Malaysian’s social contract. You should be glad that you still can keep your Arab name in singapore.

  48. Salam Tun,
    Here is to Dr. Syed Alwi on our comment especially regarding tudung…
    quote—“Secondly – I also support the banning of tudung in Singapore schools. We need integration as we believe in aiming for equality between the races. If we start by segregating the students via tudung, etc – then when will Singapore Malays integrate into our Non-Muslim society ?
    If Malaysia does not want to integrate her Chinese population – then thats Malaysia’s choice. We in Singapore however – seriously believes in racial integration. Hence everyone must make compromises. No tudung in Singapore schools – period. Besides – its only in schools – but Muslimahs ARE allowed to wear the tudung at work and at the university.”—– unquote
    May i asked, are you a Muslim? by looking at your name, i assume you are one. If yes, Dr.Syed, mengucaplah banyak-banyak…how could you support the banning of tudung…its a disgrace to the religion for even writing that…gosh! is this the perception of Muslim in Singapore?
    I sincerely hope that you “bertaubat” and study in depth about the religion before passing such remarks.
    Very sad indeed and i only hope that Allah will forgive you and you will get hidayah from him…Amin
    May Islam in Malaysia won’t be like our neighbouring country…
    Don’t you think so Tun?
    Wassalam….

  49. To those who think that Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad opinion is wrong
    I think those who think Dr. Syed comments and opinions are wrong should examine themselves. What Dr. Syed wrote is honest and truthful. Our beloved Tun Dr. M is not always right or prefect but if those finer points that Dr. Syed wrote can be taken as a lesson to be learn by the M’sia Govt, then it is for the better for all of us. There is no necessity to fire Dr. Syed as he has all the right to comment as everyone else. TDM must be partically reponsible to some of Malaysian past and present screw-up.
    I agree 101% that TDM is the best PM for his fire, vision and commitment to raise Malaysia and be recognized by the international communities. It is his people and their agents in the ministries and agencies that screw-up Malaysia. If not for the corrupted, lazy, good-for-nothing Ministers and head of agencies, Malaysia with TDM leadership would have been even more significant. TDM is not god and he alone cannot control very aspect and details in his drive to globalize Malaysia. He needs good, honest and capable people to assist his drive forward but too bad most of the better ones are working for other Govt. or become citizen of other country. This is one of the most important subjects the current administration needs to address. Like I said, Ministers should not be politicians, Ministers should be professionals with quota and accountability. Politicians are always hungry and in need of alot money to feed their supporters as it is the only way they know how to win support. They don’t want to work hard to earn their support so the quickest way is to swindle the Govt and its people’s money.

  50. Satu soalan untuk “LRJ” on September 23, 2008 at 9.09pm.
    Betul ke you pernah belajar kat “overseas”? Pengolahan ayat you semacam je I baca…BTW, itu tak penting, cuma I nak you jawab satu je soalan saya iaitu:-
    Jika benarlah dakwaan you mengatakan bahawa BN kalah pada PRU Mac 2008 lalu adalah disebabkan oleh kegagalan AAB untuk menamatkan “Mahathirism”, kenapa selama 22 tahun Tun Mahathir Mohamad memerintah Malaysia, kita tidak pernah mempunyai rekod kekalahan kepada pihak pembangkang seperti sekarang?

  51. Tun,
    Sedih lihat negara masih dalam kucar-kacir selepas 50 tahun merdeka. Siapa yang harus dipersalahkan ….Sepatut negara kita lebih makmur dan masyarakat berpikiran lebih matang dalam semua hal.
    Kalau tengok M’sia dekat peta dunia punyalah kecik tapi pergolakan cukup dasyat…..
    Apanak jadi !!!! Lebih baik buat tak tahu shj.

  56. asalamualaikum Tun,
    saya pernah membaca mengenai BIOGRAFI Tun masa masih skolah dulu, Tun ada menyatakan kalau nak idea kita terlaksana dan dibuat walaupun mdpt tentangn pihak lain, maka kita kena duduk pd peringkat atas skali spya kita ada kuasa utk melaksana dan mpnyai kuasa utk meyampaikn idea kmudian dilaksana oleh badan2 pelaksana.
    ternyata spjg 22 thn sbgi PM, Tun berjaya menyampaikn idea yg bernas biarpun byk yg tak stuju sbb mgkin kurang cerdik ataupun kemampuan akal mereka bfikir tak terjangkau spt apa yg Tun fikirkn. Nah..kini kita boleh lihat idea Tun dulu telah byk mberi faedah berbanding idea2 pemimpin skrg yg dr mula sudah mnunjukkn kepincangn dan mudah dikesan ketemberangannya.
    kpd pembaca budiman yg lain yg mgkin tak brpa suka dgn kepimpinan Tun dhlu, (mgkn apa yg Tun sumbangkn tak sampai pd mereka atau rasa teraniaya dibwh pentadbirn kabinet Tun), mana2 blogger yg memuji Tun melalui tulisan mereka adalah disebabkn mereka dah buat kajian, buat penilaian dan kemudian buat perbandingn antara tempoh 5 tahun Tun mjd PM dengan 5 tahun pak Lah jd PM. memang amat jauh bezanya
    walaupun pak Lah kata dia ada cara sendiri tp caranya kurang cerdik dan tak byk membantu kpd kjayaan negra, perpaduan bangsa dan keteguhn agama Islam di bumi malaysia. smuanya caranya dlm tempoh 5 thn ini merosakkn kejayaan ngara sblm ini (tak ada kejayaan tersdiri yg nampak jelas di mata), perpaduan bangsa mjd goyah dan amalan agama Islam diperlekehkan (bkn sja oleh org Islam sdiri bahkan bgsa lain yg bkn Islam pun sudah berani mcabar ksucian dan kemurnian ajaran Islam utk diamalkn scara terbuka di negara ini).

  57. to MR LRJ,
    because your are not Muslim you had talking like that. Not everybody getting HIDAYAH.So,kindly need not to come back to your TAK.I ‘ll call you NO COUNTRY MAN soon……… very pity.

  58. Salam My beloved Tun & Madam Tun,
    Saya ada cadangan untuk blogger semua.
    Apa kata Hari Raya yg bakal menjelang ni kita semua hantar Kad Hari Raya pada Pak Lah! Tulisannya antara lain berbunyi begini :-
    “Buat Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi & keluarga,
    Terima kasih di atas segala sumbangan dan jasa yang telah dicurahkan sepanjang tempoh Datuk Seri menjadi Pendana Menteri Malaysia.
    Dengan berbesar hati saya bermohon agar Datuk Seri dapat melepaskan jawatan Perdana Menteri Malaysia & Presiden UMNO dalam tahun ini juga dan menyerahkannya kepada Timbalan Datuk Seri.
    Saya maafkan segala dosa yang telah Datuk Seri lakukan secara sengaja atau tidak & jika sudi saya harapkan yang sama dari Datuk Seri. Tak sudi tak pe.
    Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri & Berhati-hati Di Jalanraya!
    Ikhlas,
    Mohd Lenny Hasan”
    Amacam kawan2, masih lom terlambat ni. Kita pakat ramai2 hantar kad hari raya utk Pak Lah ‘tercinta’ ni. Kurang2 dia dpt gambaran sebenar sambutan rakyat terhadap dia!
    Adios!

  59. TO DR SYED ALWI
    why must you waste your time commenting in this blog? This blog has nothing to do with the small country like yours which provide new water to its people…
    just switch off your laptop or redirect your explorer to somewhere else…. and sit down nicely on a big comfortable leather sofa and JUST ENJOY THE NEW WATER ….
    Selamat Hari Raya…
    err…do you still remember how the azan sounds? or the Eid Takbir?
    may be you should comsume more NEW WATER….

  60. just a thought,
    In real politic, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. I believe that race based political party will prefer to strive for their own race interests first and will only seek friendship once their interests are fulfilled.
    In the case of Malaysian politics, there are lots of people like Ahmad (the most forgetful malay). Simple remedy is, remove him from his post, strip him his datukship, sue him in court and declare him a bankprupt, then he will become friend to all.
    Regardless whether BN or BN II, as long as it comprises of race based political party, the top paragraph will continue to prevail.

  61. assalamualaikum Tun,
    1.Pada pilihanraya yang lalu, saya telah memilih BN .Walaupun saya
    amat tidak menyenangi cara kepimpinan DSAAB.Pada pendapat saya
    BN tetap lebih baik daripada parti pembangkang yang ada di Malaysia.
    Saya bimbang dengan PM yang lemah,sekira negara diperintah oleh
    parti pembangkang negara bertambah tidak stabil dari segi politik,sosial dan ekonomi. Sekarang sudah terbukti dengan parti
    pembangkang memerintah 5 buah negeri,semakin naik tocang mereka ini.Perkara sensitif yang tidak sepatutnya dibincangkan mula
    dipertikaikan.Sepatutnya PM patut mengawal keaadaan ini dengan
    secepat mungkin .
    2.Negara ini yang pelbagai bangsa ,agama dan budaya(walaupun
    melayu lebih ramai)Pemimpin harus tegas,berani dan bijak seperti
    Tun.
    3.Suami saya menjalankan perniaagaan kejuruteraan sendiri.Semasa
    zaman Tun memang murah rezeki tambahan pula suami saya seorang yang
    kuat bekerja(bekas didikan pengurusan dari kilang Jepun).Tetapi
    sekarang memang perit untuk mempertahan syarikat dengan kos operasi
    meningkat dan ekonomi negara yang tidak menentu.Kami yang berniaga
    sendiri memang merasa sakit.NO THANKS TO DSAAB.
    4.Memang benar Tun saya seperti kebanyakan rakyat biasa yang lain
    tidak kisah tentang hak kebebasan suara dan entah apa-apa tututan
    merapu sesetengah NGOS.Apa yang kami harapkan kestabilan politik,
    peluang perniaagan dan pekerjaan yang luas, pendidikan anak-anak
    dan masa depan mereka cerah,harga barang keperluan tidak naik,
    rakyat bersatupadu dan negara aman.(Kekalkan ISA).
    5.Saya berdoa semoga DSAAB dibukakan hati untuk berundur dari
    jawatannya dan diserahkan kepada timbalannya.Jangan FLIP FLOP lagi.
    6.Sudilah Tun sekiranya dapat memberi penjelasan dengan keputusaan
    menteri kewangan tidak mahu menggunakan mekanisma kewangan yang
    dinasihatkan oleh Tun.
    7.Kepada Saudara Shariff 5 jangan bersikap kurang ajar kepada orang
    lebih tua tambahan yang banyak jasa kepada negara.Tanya diri anda
    apa sumbangan anda pada keluarga ,masyarakat setempat dan negara?
    Jangan asyik nak mengutuk orang (ikut gaya parti pembangkang dan
    makhluk pengacau)cuba mengajar orang yang lebih berpengalaman
    dan telah bersusah payah memajukan negara.Begitu juga yanglain,
    yang datang ke Blog Tun tetapi bersikap biadap(Nasha bin Edwin)
    8.Harap Tun akan cepat kembali ke Umno dan berganding bahu dengan
    ahli-ahli dan pemimpin UMNO yang ikhlas bagi memperbetulkan Parti
    supaya bebas rasuah dan kembali kepada perjuangan asal.Slogan
    Cemerlang,gemilang dan Terbilang hanya layak dibawah pemerintahan
    TUN bukan PM sekarang.
    Selamat Hari Raya dan maaf zahir batin sekiranya terkasar bahasa.
    Semoga Tun Dan Tun Siti Hasmah diberkati Allah.
    ROZANA HUSSAIN

  62. Assalamualaikum wr wb,
    This is for Zachary64 & antubiul,
    First of all – it is UMNO that always promises to bathe in Chinese blood with the keris. It is Indonesia who views Singapore as a red dot in a green sea. The truth is – Muslim countries in ASEAN have severe problems with the Overseas Chinese due to historical and economic factors. I do not see a problem with not having a Malay General. What for ? We know that Malaysian politicians will pressure such a Singaporean Malay General to support Malaysian viewpoints. Better not to have one. Its a blessing in disguise !
    Secondly – by the looks of things – it is Singapore that has a more successful approach towards governance and economics. Why should we follow Malaysian ideas when it does not even work ? The Malaysian Chinese are migrating to Singapore in large numbers because of Malaysia’s racial policies. BUT how many Singapore Malays are migrating to Malaysia ? Very few indeed ! Life in Singapore – for a Malay – is quite good !
    Finally on the tudung – we need to integrate our minorities and every group has to give up something. For example – we do NOT allow Sikhs to carry their knives around. We jail the Jehovah’s Witness because they do not want to do National Service. And so on. The tudung is only one small aspect.
    By the way – Singaporean Malays are NOT the same as Malaysian Malays. We Singaporean Malays are born and bred as a minority Muslim community in a Non-Muslim country. We do not have the tongkat or wheelchair or NEP or Hak Istimewa or Ketuanan etc. We stand on our own two feet and we are very very proud of it.
    Best Regards
    Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad

  63. Dear Tun,
    Being an ordinary person that living in Malaysia, All we are looking for a better living environment such as :-
    1. Good monthly salary for government and private employees.
    2. Affordable basic need such us food and fuel
    3. Fair and equal opportunity for advancement in employment or
    business for all races
    4. Uncorrupted government.
    5. Low inflation and unemployment rate
    6. Stable and strong financial with low interest rate (BLR)
    This a some of the thing that have to be looked after by every ruling party in this country. Failing to do so will be translated in poor support (eg. election).
    So based on the recent 12th general election, I think the current government must be failed to honors some if not all of the public expectation that I mentioned above.
    For example, In our neighbor Singapore, their fuel (Diesel & Petrol, Food, and almost everything are more expensive compared to Malaysia but their people do not complaining. This is because their household Income is very much better than us. Its mean that all this stuff is still within their budget and after all that spending still have some money for long term saving. TO BE SIMPLE, ITS IS OK TO REDUCE THE SUBSIDY BUT GOVERNMENT MUST HAVE RAISED THE STANDARD LIVING OF EVERY PERSON LIVING IN MALAYSIA.
    I am respecting Tun View but not really agree In the issue that the opposition will fail if given the chances to govern this country. I think this same perception was first raised by British Colonial to the Barisan Nasional (Pakatan) when they hand over this country. The British thinking was that the new government will fail to govern Malaya and British will come to rescue this country but thank GOD Tunku and others manage to prove that we can. Now, the same Scenario is imposed to PR. Actually only Heaven knows what will be happened if PR really govern.
    For ordinary people like us, having a two strong apposing political party is good and healthy for our beloved country. Its mean that from now on any ruling party must really do a hard work, failing to do so will be fatal for them.
    Anyway, I still solute and respect TUN for what you have done in the past and now.
    God bless.

  64. Asssalamuailaikum Ayahnda Tun.
    Saya berminat dgn penulisan (By S..Tan on September 23, 2008 12:46 AM).Memalukan orang melayu kalau difikirkan betul-betul. Orang UMNO mempunyai semua, kuasa,projek,bank,harta..Tapi kerana tamak haloba,ingin senang diri sendiri makan sendirian sahaja tanpa ada niat menolong sama sendiri.,. “Salah siapa”
    Itu orang UMNO ,bila masa menggundi percalonan sampai ceruk dapur pun masuk suruh sokong .Bila dapat kuasa lupa orang kampung dan buat harta sendiri..”Salah Siapa”
    Itu sebab org suka masuk UMNO, boleh dapat projek dan dapat duit. Bila kalah..harta semua dah ada..Orang kampung jadi mangsa..Macam tu lah kaedahnya..”Salah Siapa”
    Iqra’ dan Fikir-fikir la kalian….

  65. antubiul on September 23, 2008 9:10 PM said to Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad of Singapore that “freedom in Malaysia is you can fly as high as you want….”. But that’s only a half-truth, for he conveniently did not add “UNLESS YOU ARE A NON-MALAY”! 🙂
    LJ

  66. Greeting Tun,
    First of all, I’m proud to be a Malaysian. Because we have you.
    Your blog member getting more and more, I cannot read all, but 98% here wants back the old Government, the time you as the PM.
    We want a peaceful country, a harmony party that rules the country. We are sitting in a same ship, we all will face the same fate if it sink.
    Actually, I don’t care if its an Islamic country or not, a multi-racial party rules or a single party to rules all. Just make the whole Malaysia prosper, harmony and respectful.
    The current PM fail to do it! Lets fotget PKR, just an act. But we need PKR to balance the flows, no more monopoly of anything. We need a new PM right now! One person failure bring the whole country down.
    Lets put a side our differences, putting hands to hands, work it out a win-win solution to all. Say it easy, so can we just try to make it easy. I will be the first to do my part, I will support the next PM who can bring us out from this bad time.
    Good health, Tun. And all blog members.

  67. Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad ,
    You are a trully Malay Singaporean who have forgoten what Malay is and that its ok for Malay not to become an Air Force General since thier loyalty including Dr Syed Alwi is questionable and it ok to ban tudung in Singaporean school even thought the name Syed represent a true muslim and it ok that thats is what freedom meant to Singaporean Malays. Prabo Dr.Unfortunately Dr, you cant find all those thing in Malaysia, and freedom in Malaysia is you can fly as high as you want, just dont cross the line.

  68. Yo, By che ana budak sp on September 23, 2008 9:54 AM
    1. Macam kamu, brader, saya juga pernah ke luar negeri beberapa kali, tetapi saya sentiasa enggan pulang ke Tanah Air Ku (TAK), kerana saya pernah (dan sedang) berkerja to luar negeri (termasuk Singapura, Australia & Britain) dan hanya di TAK saya pernah kena discriminasi kerana bangsa dan warna kulit saya. Di negeri2 dimana saya tidak ada kewarganegaraan and hak2 selaras dengan kedudukan itu, saya di terima sebagai manusia biasa dan di anggap sebagai manusia sama dgn warga Negara sendiri. Kena apa nak pulang ke tanah beranak saya hanya untuk dihina oleh orang pendatang seperti saya sendiri (ia itu orang Melayu dari Indonesia atau India macam Tun sendiri)? Kena apa? Also, mengapa, brader, nak banding dgn Somalia, mengapa tidak banding dgn US ke, UK ke, Singapore ke dan Australia. Kalau kamu orang Islam, kan lebih sesuai you pergi ke Somalia 🙂
    2. Cabar apa, dik, saya sudah lama keluar TAK dan kerana kebolehan dan pelajaran saya – yang dibayar oleh mendiang bapa saya (seorang pegawai tentera yg banyak berjasa untuk TAK) dan bukan scholarship yg diberi kepada umnoputera mengunakan wang cukai orang bukan bumiputera – saya boleh masuk and keluar mana2 negeri barat yg saya suka. Saya lama dah berdikari bukan macam ramai bumiputera di TAK yg masih – dan saya pikir akan selalu – bergantung kepada NEP. Cabar kepala otak awak!
    3. I was not rude, brader, just direct and to the point. Saya bukan manusia biadap atau kurang ajar. And I have told Tun many times how much I respect the many good things he has done in the past & I stand by that. But the question was why BN lost in March 2008? My honest answer was that it was because of Mahathirism and the failure of Pak Lah to put an end to it as promised. Paham, Bro?
    4. Berkenaan Islam, apa yg patut orang Islam kena buat ialah hentikan pembunuhan orang Islam oleh orang Islam. Don’t blame others especially “Orang luar selalu nak cari alsan nak menjahanamkan Islam”. More Muslims are killed by Muslims than ever by non-Muslims in all of history. So who jahanam who, dik? You want to do something for Islam, stop Muslims from killing Muslims first. OK?
    LJ

  69. To Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad
    Just to comment on your quotation;Firstly I support the fact that there are no high ranking Malays in the SAF. We Singaporeans do not want a Malay General who has split loyalty between Singapore on one hand – and Malaysia & Indonesia on the other.
    What is the rational of your so-called ‘meritocracy government’ to impose such a policy to deter Malays from holding top position in the Armed Forces ? the way I see it, that if there were to be ‘war’ between your country and Malaysia/Indonesia, the Malays soldiers loyalty to your country will be at stake and they will desert the forces and turn against your country ?????? I could still recall your Brig Jen Lee JR who stated that “WE DO NOT WANT TO PUT OUR SOLDIERS IN DIFFICULT POSITION WHERE THEY LOYALTY TO THE COUNTRY WOULD CONTRADICT WITH THEIR RELIGION AMD BELIEFS. BY MAKING THIS STATEMENT LONG TOME AGO, YOUR GOVERNMENT AT THAT TIME WAS REFERING TO MALAYSIA/INDONESIA AS POTENTIAL ENEMIES.I HOPE THAT PERCEPTION WILL CHANGE BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE POLICY OF APPOINTING MALAYS TO THE TOP BRASS IS STILL BEING ENFORCED.
    AT least in Malaysia, there are Chinese and Indian pilots, armed forces officers and police officers. May be you should tell us if there any Malays officers in your army, navy and Airforce.
    What is a big deal.?? Should there were to be Malay General who refuse to carry an order then by all mean relieve him outright…simple as that….
    your other statement -Secondly – I also support the banning of tudung in Singapore schools. We need integration as we believe in aiming for equality between the races. If we start by segregating the students via tudung, etc – then when will Singapore Malays integrate into our Non-Muslim society ?
    I don’t understand…your government is enforcing the intergration but yet when it comes to the recruitment of Malay officers, why there’s a double standard ????? In Malaysia, we are not forcing the Punjabis to remove their turbans…either in school, serving in the armed forces or while they are riding motorcycle along the street…
    over here, we are not forcing our people to intergrate…..through strict policy..we allpow flexibility and that is our beauty….
    If you country really appreciate racial inergration that is good if you could also be consistent in the fair representation of the ethnicity in your country’s human resources….

  70. Dear Tun,
    1. For BN to be revive, BN must first show example and take the lead, the current crop of top echelon leaders and going-to-be leaders are no longer acceptable, with tainted reputation and/or belonging to the old school of thoughts of purely race based inclinations.
    2. Many potential good leaders are forever waiting in the wings but will never be able to attain the decision making level where it counts and therefore add new branding to BN because of the restrictions and obstacles i.e. minimum branches nominations to qualify, the ‘old school’ grassroot support for existing leaders, and not excluding money politics and of course patronism by existing leaders to ensure that their legacy continues on….
    3. Top leaders must never be allowed to overstay, and their term must be restricted to no more than say 2 terms. As the saying goes, “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”
    4. Minimum qualification to be elected e.g. in Singapore, you need to have a tertiary education from an established and reputable university. This eliminate some of the gutter politicians we have today.
    5. Leaders are thus elected through the natural process of elimination, where the unfit and corrupt have been filtered out, leaving the qualified ones.
    6. No leaders are elected due to sentiments based on grass-root support only.
    7. Rewards to elected members to commensurate with their work and this monetary reward are comparable to private sectors. Severe punishments to be meted out without fear and favour if they are corrupt and not able to perform their duties as required.
    8. This is just some of many things we must do if we are to avoid the type of leaders we have today to run our country. Who can blame the opposition on capitalising on these known flaws and sure enough they would be making even further in-roads…

  71. Mahathir,
    Short and simple – prepare for a change of Goverment.
    From opposition component to BN – basically Malaysia do not have a good Leader that can rebuild the multi race and multi cultural society NOW! Every politian is just have the “EYES” on the pots of gold that Malaysia have generated for the last 50 years.
    This generation politician is a a greedy idiots and a small handful that are willing to fight for the society but it is too little too late.
    All we need is the a BN (II) or something similar to reactivating the spirit of multi race that has been working side-by-side since 1957. We need to abolished anything that been once misused such as ISA law to Ketuanan Malay. All these old concept / deal MUST go – I knows that it is a huge step that some MUST take and overcome, but the outcome of better Malaysia will be only achieved.
    You can see now “Malaysia Boleh!” and “Wawasan 2020” enthusiasm and spirit are all gone, forgotten and die-down. Last 10 years we always can hear praise of Mega-project been launch in Malaysia. Now all seems to be very quite – Nothing to ignite the Malaysian Spirit anymore – Nothing to proud of malaysia. It just going down hill (like an Avalanche).
    I remember I did bring up this topic amongs my friend and family. They told me we still have Malaysis Eye. My reply is that Malaysian now is lack of innovative and creativity until we needs to copy other peoples work to get well known. This isn’t things to prouds but it is just a shames amongs Malaysia that they can not use their ability to come out with something unique that every part of the world will praise it. NO, No more of such cases in malaysia.
    This is why Malaysia will turn into unrespected, uncompetitive, unattractive, and undeveloped country in the eyes of investor, foreign leaders and malaysian citizen itself.

  72. Tun,
    Its no point shouting at the top of your voice to a person who can’t hear you. Badawi is deaf.
    Dia tak boleh dengar. Mungkin dia ada telinga besar tetapi, telinga besar itu tidak berguna kalau gegendang telinga tidak berfungsi.
    There’s no turning back.

  73. “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.”
    Dr.M
    The thing that irk me most is your choice of words here.You describe us as Chinese which most readers from SE Asia would immediately understand as your reference to Malaysian Chinese. In another global forum, most would have thought your reference to China Chinese.
    To most, a simple word of reference wont mean much as long as it brings the meaning to the readers. The effect on the ones being referred to is that they are subconsciously being reminded that they have a motherland to return. The same goes to Malaysian of Indian descendants
    Surely you dont want to be the indigo.

  74. SALAM BUAT TUN SEKELUARGA,
    TUN,
    Kemasukan semula TUN dalam UMNO.
    Beberapa Menteri yang senior telah mengalu alu kemasukan semula TUN ada juga beberapa yang tak begitu positif:
    Antara yang positif:
    Tan Sri Mahyudin
    Datuk Seri Rais Yatim
    Datuk Seri Ali Rostam
    Datuk Zaid Hamidi (kalau tak silap dia ada beri komen yang +)
    Yang tak berapa positif:
    Khalid Nordin
    Pak Lah
    Selepas ini kita lihat apa repon seterusnya.
    Wassalam TUN.

  75. it’s not about race,
    it’s about corrupted practice that made Malaysia falling back,
    BN is not the best choice around, why?
    the pot of milk is full of indigo, not only a drop,
    wakeup, why you guys think tat if PR rulling it’s the end of the world?
    it’s not, it’s a new n better choice,
    they fight against corrupted practice which implanted decades long, they revitalize the economic structures , the wealth of country is not only for cronies,but to all Malays, Indians, Chinese.
    We talk about globalisation , we should talk beyond races, it’s a Malaysian’s Malaysia, get it?
    wasn’t that is the vision of Tunku Abdul Rahman when fighting for Malaysia independence?
    everybody, how long do u think the race issue need to prolong to? another 50 years?
    Wakeup, wakeup everybody. Salam Chedet, undeniably you contributed to Malaysia a lot, but not everything you think is faultless.
    Tun should lead Malaysians to live a better country, not limiting it.

  76. Dear Tun,
    Najib ignore you. He said Malaysia are fundamentally strong and stable, so re-peg is unnecessary. As usual, all BN leaders ignore you. I strongly believe the theory of ‘RAHMAN’ will be realize soon. That is bad news to all Malaysian because BN power will come to an end after ‘N’. I think the next word to replace it is ‘ANWAR’.
    What happen in the past is history. Whatever damages done cannot be undo. BN now is like a basket full of red beans and green beens. Sorting out the green and the red is a tedious job especially when BN leaders are colour blind. Lets move forward. Globalisation is inevitable. All Malaysian should make fast decision. Time is not on our side. Lets PKR rule and see what they can do to the country. Malaysian will never lose as long as we stay together.
    Is time to end politician games.
    SkyForce

  77. hi dr.m, the earlier comment is just a piece of my mind. i hope when you come back- you will at least advice them on the education system to be restructured back. i guess this will help for malaysian unity.

  78. Assalamualaikum wr wb,
    This is in reply to Kamal Ahmad,
    Firstly I support the fact that there are no high ranking Malays in the SAF. We Singaporeans do not want a Malay General who has split loyalty between Singapore on one hand – and Malaysia & Indonesia on the other. We know that Malaysian politicians – Tun Mahathir especially – will pressure high ranking Malays to support Malaysian policies towards Singapore. This we cannot have.
    If Malaysia wants to put a Chinese General on top – well then – thats Malaysia’s choice. But we are not going to take chances with a Malay General in the SAF.
    Secondly – I also support the banning of tudung in Singapore schools. We need integration as we believe in aiming for equality between the races. If we start by segregating the students via tudung, etc – then when will Singapore Malays integrate into our Non-Muslim society ?
    If Malaysia does not want to integrate her Chinese population – then thats Malaysia’s choice. We in Singapore however – seriously believes in racial integration. Hence everyone must make compromises. No tudung in Singapore schools – period. Besides – its only in schools – but Muslimahs ARE allowed to wear the tudung at work and at the university.
    Regards
    Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad

  79. WELL WHY CANT YOU ALL ACCEPT THE FACT?! BE PRACTICAL- MALAYS ARE RACIST AS WELL THE CHINESE AND AS WELL THE INDIANS!VERY LESS ARE NOT RACIST!BLAME THE EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT BUILD SUCH!!!! IM SAYING THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN – CHANGE THE MENTALITY FIRST!!MENTALITY OF THE MALAYSIAN! MAJORITY OF US ARE NOT SO SMART AS THE WHITES- SO IN ORDER TO BE SMART & TO CHANGE THE MENTALITY – IS BY RESTRUCTURING AND STRENGTHENING OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM!!! WHOEVER WE ARE IS BASED ON EDUCATION SYSTEM!! IM NO A TEACHER!! BUT YET I THINK THE EDUCATION SYSTEM IS VERY BAD AND IT DOESN’T ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO MIX WITH OTHER RACES-MEANS LEARNING TO ACCEPT EACH OTHER. EVEN IF THERE ARE STUDENTS DIFFERENT RACES SITTING IN THE SAME CLASSES- HAVE YOU NOTICE – THAT MOST OF THEM CLICK ONLY WITH THEIR RACE DURING REST TIME- OR DURING OUTINGS- NOT MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN I CAN SEE HAVING BREAK TOGETHER OR SHARING SWEETS OR DRY FOOD WITH OTHER RACES- EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING- MALAY IS WORRIED ABOUT HALAL/ CHINESE ARE WORRIED ABOUT BLACK MAGIC IN THE FOOD – WHERE- ELSE THE INDIANS ARE WORRIED ABOUT ‘LEMBU’. SO MANY OBSTRUCTION FOR ONE UNITY. PLEASE EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN TO BE MORE OPEN MINDED- BUT NOT BY EATING LEMBU OR NON-HALAL FOOD- BUT JUST BY ACCEPTING EACH OTHER SINCERELY THAT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR MALAYSIAN UNITY. THANKS!

  80. Salam hormat Tun Mahadhir
    Berulang kali saya mengatakan Malaysia adalah negara yang luar biasa”unique”.Negara yang berbilang kaum dan di beri kebebasan mutklak memilih jurusan sekolah apa aja sekolah cina sekolah india atau sekolah kebangsaan bahasa Malaysia..Dengan ada nya sekolah cina dan india perpaduan raayat sukar mahu di capai sehingga sampai ini isu perkauman tidak dapat dikawal.
    Yang aneh tapi nyata parti2 pembankang khusus DAP tidak pernah sentuh demi menyatukan raayat supaya sekolah cina atau india di tutup dan hanya sekolah kebangsaan bahasa malaysia di wajibkan untuk semua kaum.Masih ada kaum cina tidak boleh betutur bahasa malaysia sama sekali.Di negara Singapura pernah dulu ada universiti Nanyang dan bayak sekolah2 cina,india dan melayu.Sekarang negara yang jauh lebih maju raayatnya bersatu dan hanya sekolah2 dan universiti inggris aja yang wujud.Kenapa boleh?.Yang sering kita dengar DAP berteriak 2 “Malaysian Malaysia” tetapi tidak mahu tolak asur supaya raayat dapat bersatu.Kalau berterusan begini bila boleh raayat Malaysia bersatu? juah api dari panggan.
    Mereka yang menentang BN adalah sebahagian kecil.Penulis seperti Helen Tan ,Kim Quek,Tian Chua dan banyak lagi penulis di Malaysiakini kurang paham aspirasi khusus raayat melayu. Sebagian besar bansa melayu di kampong2,ladang2 getah ladang2 kelapa sawit dan di ladang2 FELDA menaroh harapan besar hanya BN boleh menjamin masa depan mereka.Menurut saya kalau PKR .DAP atau PAS ambil alih pemerintah Malaysia akan terjadi kocar kacil dan mungkin
    kehancoran negara.PKR dan DAP jangan lah bermain dengan api.
    Isu2 perkauman sangat sensitif Bar Council menentangnya tanpa mengkira kalau terjadi bertumpah darah mereka mahu bertaqgung jawab.Generasi muda ini termasuk bekas menteri Zaid penulis2 di malaysiakini dan peminpin2 BAR Council pada waktu rusuhan 13 May 1969 mereka semua ada di mana?
    Akhir2 ini Teresa Kok pula buat tuduhan yang tidak masuk di akal apakah orang2 tahanan harus beri menu sama dgn restaurant?

  81. AAB does not realize why he must step down immediately.
    The ship is alredy three quarter sunk and the Captain is still in a state of denial.
    He thinks that the ship can make it to the other port, which is 400 miles away before it sinks.
    And the co-captain, is supportive and saying that it can be done.
    Good Luck AAB & Najib.

  82. Dear Tun,
    Agree with Opposition being a hypocritical. PAS is an easy target. DAP only generates hate.
    NOW, UMNO is fast becoming that too. Outsiders see the party as being ultra Malay, enough for them to even turn their votes to extremist oppositions.
    Let’s say DSAAB withdraws, sooner or later, it does not make the problems go away. The racial resentments are real. It is alive and well in every culture and society.
    I saw a very open minded Prime Minister when you were in power. Now, UMNO seems to be very very closed. Explanations given does not satisfy the general public. Oppositions are using this opportunity to attack.

  83. 90% tax payer chinese~
    90% rm belong to chinese~
    90% business owner chinese~
    non-chinese have to work for chinese….
    non-chinese will not hold any top post…
    now who is the racist?

  84. Ayahanda Tun
    Saya mengambil kesepatan ini untuk mengucapkan Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin pada Ayahanda dan sekeluarga.
    Selamat berjuangan untuk masyarakat melayu Islam.
    Salam dari saya

  85. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Malapetaka dalam politik sekarang disebabkan oleh pemerintah kita kat atas tu tak sedarkan diri. Itulah kalau memerintah tak ikut ugama, itulah padahnya. Allah tu Maha Agong, di balasnya dengan keadaan kucar-kacir sekarang. Harap-harap PM, DPM dan geng-gengnya sedarlah dan bertaubatlah cepat-cepat, kalau tak rakyat yang menderita, mendapat musibah.
    Anyway, someone should sms or write to our PM asking them to read your write-up and our comments. Then only he will how many people dislike him. But I think he will “buat bodo” as usual.
    It’s also nice to read all the comments. Never thought Malaysian are so creative and can throw in a lot of ideas. Thanks to Cyberspace!!
    Well…whatever it is, we will have to wait and see…tunggu dan lihat (disamping berdoa!)
    Any chance of us “the rakyat” to choose our own PM?
    Wassalam, Tun and family!

  86. Umno is divided into five divisions now;supporters of Abdullah;supporters of Najib; supporters of Mahathir; supporters of Annuar and finally those who support in the name of Islam(fanatics).As such Umno is on the verge of destruction.After the election the Chinese are more towards DAP, the Indians clueless and the rest just living.In a situation like this Annuar’s Malaysian Malysia will win the day.51 years of ignored corruption, misuse of wealth and power,nepotism and blatant use of government power and finally the ISA.For the Umno/BN to come back will be just next to impossible.How much you plead in the name of the UMNO/BN coalition will not help anybody.It is best you stay away from politics and just concentrate on your own weakness.Abdullah will not step down and even Najib will not listen to your pegging.They have already made up their mind on how the country is going to be ruled and how they have lost their majority power.From now onwards no government will enjoy the two third majority.All politicians have to work for a living.The Malays will have to give up their rights as now the aboriginese have already exerted their power; a mistake made by the Malays.The other races will fight for this downtrodden and the world will support them.We are going to face new problems.Your urgings will not materialise; it will be a dream.

  87. Salam Tun,
    I hope PAKATAN RAKYAT wins and HADI AWANG becomes PRIME MINISTER. I wonder just how many people in the opposition would love that outcome? Their idelogies completely differ from one another
    They just dont get it. They got NO common goals and ruling over the people is completely suicidal.
    They (opposition) and other Barisan component parties, MCA & Gerakan are using this opportunity to solidify their position within the cabinet so that they can demand more. It is now or never for them…
    The opposition talks of wiping out NEP seems to be very tempting for Gerakan and MCA but the fact that NEP has made Malaysia multi racial peace loving country.
    Disposing of the NEP contract may be tempting to those who want to make extra gains despite the method use. SacrificING the harmonious situation HERE to gain some extra profits…Splendid!
    The media too has potrayed the political situation in Malaysia as unstable and they are too be blamed.
    The tactics used by opposition indefinitely states that the leaders are in it for political and social gains. They never even sit together to consolidate their position.
    During this period of political uncertainty, we need a FIRM leader not a nice 1 though..to bring things back in order and to stir our economy to greater heights.
    We cannot eradicate corruption as it exists everywhere and I can only say that we can MINIMISE IT.
    BN presently is sinking because of the present leadership but united under a powerful banner/Man the ‘SHIP WILL NATURALLY TRANSFORM ITSELF INTO AN ARMADA OF POWERFUL FLEETS OF AIRCRAFT CARRIERS’
    Ps: To see Malaysia as a SEA SUPERPOWER.
    Selamat Berbuka Tun.

  88. plz kick AAB out of this country plz.. he is main culprit for malaysia downfall ..
    Only Tun can save us now

  89. Assalamualaikum Ybhg Tun & famili dan selamat menjalani ibadah puasa.
    1. DSAAB akan cuba baiki damages yg dia dipertanggung jawabkan sebagai PM. Kadangx tengok muka dia semasa berita, terasa kesian pula. Semua dok hentam dia. Pembangkang pula tersenyum dan ada yg ketawa melihat PM yg semua tak kena.
    2. Ybhg Tun dan penyokongx (termasuk saya) terpekikx dan memaki hamun (melalui tulisan) dari luar. Kemungkinan mereka (ahli UMNO) yg berada di dalam itu dengar pekik terlolong kat luar tp mereka tak berani nak sambung.
    3. Kenapa? Mereka (ahli UMNO) sendiri tidak pasti kemungkinan apa yg akan terjadi sekiranya DSAAB out of picture. Kemungkinan keadaan akan jadi lebih teruk dan kali ini kemungkinan mereka akan kehilangan semua yg ada.
    4. Mereka (ahli UMNO) tak berani berkorban, tetapi ada kemungkinan juga mereka telah bertindak tetapi undian mereka dinafikan (1% mengatasi 99%).
    5. Dalam UMNO siapa yg mampu dan berani merancang semua ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ jadi ‘POSSIBLE’? Orang itu mesti terlalu licik mcm sang lamri dan dia memamg inginkan keadaan sebegini berterusan. Dia juga kemungkinan dah biasa buat mcm ni (baling batu sorok tangan) dan amat berkesan utk kenakan org lain.
    6. Fikirkan.
    wuallahualam

  90. My personal view is that MCA, MIC and Gerakan are so outspoken in the public nowadays because of 1 main reason. That is their view has far been swept under the carpet through close-door negotiation cause the final WORDS or DECISION is still based on BN lead which is UMNO. Therfore supporters of the component BN party except UMNO deserted them as though thier respective leaders didn’t bring any changes. Therefore i think all component parties should sit together and discuss the problem and get a unify decision or solution. Example you see MIC and MCA president keep their voice heard nowadays in the public on issue which they don’t agree with UMNO after they have no more positions in the cabinet. 🙁

  91. Assalamualaikum Tun, Yes I do agree the concept of BN is still relevant, and it is important for the government to be strong in order to govern a pluralistic nation like Malaysia.
    2. But as a Malay, I found out that Malays are not behaving like Malays anymore. And they are not that religious also. I think even PAS leaders are struggling to put forward the ideas of Islamic state. I think this issue will always be haunting the Malays.
    3. The problem with UMNO is that they still do not want to really go in depth on Islamic state. Tun can see that the leaders, especially women, still could not wear proper Islamic attire, but the members are wearing it. This is the glaring example of not understanding the wants of the Malays. In fact, they sent their sons and daughters to more Islamic base schools than before.
    4. What I’m trying to say is that the Malay leaders do not really try to comply with the wish of the members and supporters. They tend to talk more about developments, trying to acheive the develop status, the global challenge, the new ideas of running the corporate, and so on. So, comparatively, matters on Islamic state are not being scrutinised properly. Thus, giving the picture that the present form of Malaysia is already an Islamic State.
    5. I’m bringing this question of the Malays is because Malaysia will be in trouble if the Malays could not unite. Or may be it will be more accurate if I say that Malays are not bothering their own nation as they should. So, how can we get a united nation like Malaysia, if the main core of its nationals – the Malays – could not be united?
    6. Therefore the relevancy of BN lies in the ability of the Malays to unite. Beyond that Malaysia ia like a coco crunch, ready to be eaten by anybody! Or to put it in line with sci-fi movies, the black hole of Malaysia is now, existing.

  92. Tun,
    Are you trying to say “Only” BN able to rule m’sia forever? And there’s “No” other party can rule as BN? I disagree!! The arrogant BN should learn that, they should respect the people’s power. They must remember that, they are “Wakil Rakyat”.

  95. Assalamualaikum yang amat dihormati Tun,
    Everybody have their own conclusion of what transpire from GE12. Though some may disagree, your thought is very much welcomed. But for me, i agree with what you have said.
    Tun,
    My family are staunch supporter of Perikatan then and BN now. My great grandfather was the Umno head of my kampung as so was my uncle. All my family members were and are Umno members. However, during the last GE, i did not vote but i remain an Umno member. To my surprise, BN lost in my constituency but of course not just due to loss of my vote. Why didn’t i vote then? You summarized it well Tun.
    BN still relevant. Yes, i agree with you Tun. I however respect the opinion of some who dont believe so. The opposition capitalised from BN weakness. I wish to know the direction of our country, if PR do win the next GE. Will it be an Islamic state or will it be a secular state. Well, they have to decide if they win the election.
    Tun, my sincere thanks to you as you has steered the country to success. Though some may dislike and discredit you, but the fact remain: you are the greatest leader of this nation. I shed my tears when you stepped down, but i shed more tears now.

  96. PAKLAH ! TOLONG SELAMATKAN MALAYSIA !
    SILA LETAK JAWATAN
    (sad but true)
    p/s : kepada pembaca yang dapat berhubung dengan Paklah, tlg sampaikan yer…

  97. Tun masih ada kekuatan yang Allah anugerahkan.
    Sambutlah permintaan peminat2 blog Tun.
    Berjuang semula dengan Barisan Nasional.

  98. Salam Tun….
    Punca nya hanya 3 benda sahaja
    1. ABDULLAH AHMAD BADAWI
    2. KHAIRY JAMALUDIN
    3. SEGEROMBOLAN AHLI2 UMNO YG RASUAH
    Berbeza dgn PAS Tun, mereka ahli2 PAS di didik dgn usrah setiap hari, setiap pagi, kuliah subuh (bukan ceramah politik), jemaah menunaikan solat bersama, sentiasa dekat dgn org awam (walaupun tiada media yg melaporkannya berbanding dgn org2 dlm UMNO yg gah terpampang dimuka2 suratkhabar dgn bantuan ‘IKHLAS’ beribu2 ringgit kepada mangsa, bantuan itu ini…)Apabila timbul masalah Kaum (kononnya)mereka (suratkhabar perdana) secara pantas memetik isu ini dibangkitkan oleh Pembangkang. Jgn gunakan sentimen perkauman…tetapi Tun, mereka tidak sedar, bahawasanya mereka sendiri (UMNO)yg memulakannya…Org ramai, terutama melayu semakin jelak dgn UMNO yg ada sekarang.
    Kenapa mereka menyerang UMNO? Sbb UMNO adalah tunjang kepada pentadbiran negara. Ketuanya, timbalannya…
    (Sekadar Pendapat)

  99. Rais Yatim? Was he the one who said losing Pulau Batu Puteh to Singapore was a “win-win” situation for Malaysia?

  100. Please refer to jadi comment below:-
    By jadi on September 23, 2008 12:27 PM
    Assalammualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,
    First of all, thank you for the good article again. Surely, MCA & Gerakan once again play the racial issue to save their faces from the poor performance in the last GE.
    UMNO has been a punching bag from its own partner in BN and from the opposition. The sad story is PAS overreact in belittle UMNO and its nasionalism movement.
    What UMNO can do now is to quickly change its leader. But unfortunately Pak Lah refuse to give on. I bet you Tun he will stay on for the December UMNO election and win easily. The rules in UMNO makes him so powerful and the laws in the country make him super power.
    As such, looking at the current state of affair, the political scenario will not be much change and UMNO ship will continue to slow down. The opposition will cross the final line because it is not to say they are good but UMNO, MCA, Gerakan and MIC have made a lot of mistakes. They argue openly in the public society make the rakyat give up of them all.
    Once BN lost, you can see a new era of Malay become slave in its own land. The lyric of anak kecil main api by dr nordin kardi will be played in the near jungle in 10 years after that where Malay will stay; waiting for another good leader to guide them. The Malay wouldnt know that no such man will come since they are interested in making fast money, selling their land, stabbing in the back, jealous, greedy and most of all sleep during working hours.
    Very sad. But you and I will not be around to watch this episode. We are gone. Your grandchild and my children are going to experience all this.
    wow…. wake up!!! jadi …wake up!!!! jadi
    Until when you want to support this spoon feed government.. dont you see.. this malay privilage policy is making malay weaker and weaker… you are not handicap.. malay word say “cacat”.
    grow up!! man. grow up!!
    malaysia is far way behind where it should be because of the government corruption and spoond feed policy for the malay group for the past 30 over years..
    Open your eye and see how bad the economy in the country and dont tell me you dont feel it?? dont fool by media claimed the economy is just fine and so and so economy data..
    lastly… do not live in your own world and stop day dreaming..
    do something to make your malay proud and gain the respect from other.. like tun do..

  101. selamat hari raya tun,
    saya nak tanya tun kenapa ada ahli dalam UMNO masih nak suruh paklah bertanding akhir tahun ni walaupun dah confirm paklah tu tak boleh pakai?apa agenda mereka?adakah mereka pekak atau tuli dengan kehendak akar umbi?kenapa Mtm kata”jangan paksa paklah turun.kenapa paklah masih jadi chairman khazanah kalau dia kata nak suruh najib jadi menteri .kewangan.kenapa najib jadi pak turut tak tunjuk kejantanan lawan paklah.kenapa najib tak jadi pergi timur tengah kalau dia yakin Bn masih kukuh.kenapa paklah tak berani membuat usul undi tak percaya di parlimen kalau yakin sokongan masih kuat.kenapa pak lah nak jadi menteri pertahanan sedangkan jadi menteri kewangan pun tak reti.kenapa paklah tangkap blogers yang menyuarakan pendapatnya ke isa.kenapa paklah tak turunkan minyak kata nak review harga minyak tiap-tiap bulan.kenapa ahli umno tak boleh bersuara dan gunakan kuasa untuk tendang paklah.siapa yang patut di salahkan.ahli umno,mca,mic,awuar ibrahim atau tun yang membuat sistem itu yang menjadi tidak ada jalan keluar untuk keluar dari segala masalah yang melanda negara ini.kenapa kita menghadapi masalah ini?adakah ahli umno tidak ada akal,atau mementingkan kocek dan perut sendiri.kenapa kita tak boleh menyelesaikan masalah ini.memang umno yang bersalah kerana membuat sistem dalam umno itu presidennya kebal undang-undang.tidak lut bpr,tidak lut mahkamah tidak lut isa.jadi kita salahkan sistem dalam umno itu yang membawa malapetaka kepada rakyat malaysia.

  102. DI HARAP PADA BULAN RAMADHAN INI PEMIMPIN2 UMNO(BN) MENDAPAT HIDAYAH AGAR TIDAK LAGI RASUAH, TIDAK LAGI BEREBUT KUASA, TIDAK TAMAK, TIDAK KEDEKUT,TIDAK GILA KUASA, TIDAK MEMENTINGKAN DIRI, TIDAK MEMFITNAH, TIDAK MENGADU DOMBA, TIDAK BERPUAK-PUAK, TIDAK BERSIFAT PERKAUMAN, DAN YANG PALING PENTING SEDAR BAHAWA BN TIDAK AKAN MEMERINTAH SELAMA-LAMANYA. INGAT TIDAK AKAN MEMERINTAH SELAMA-LAMANYA.

  103. SALAM SEMUA….
    TUN TIDAK AKAN BERHENTI DARIPADA MENGKRITIK KEPIMPINAN KERAJAAN YANG KONONNYA DEMI MALAYSIA. TETAPI SEBENARNYA TUN BOSAN KALAU DUDUK DIAM DI RUMAH TANPA BERBUAT APA2 KERANA SELAMA 22 TAHUN PANDANGAN TUN SELALU KELUAR TV. JADI DARIPADA DUDUK DIAM LEBIH BAIK BUAT SESUATU SEPERTI MENGKRITIK KERAJAAN. ITULAH YANG DILAKUKAN OLEH TUN. JADI TINDAKAN TUN MENGKRITIK ADALAH SEMATA-MATA MENGHILANGKAN RASA BORINGNYA.

  104. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    Pada pandangan saya pemimpin BN sekarang kekeringan idea,tidak membuat pembaharuan untuk menjadikan BN terus relevan. Kita lihat senario pilihanraya baru-baru ini.Sebelum pilihanraya isu-isu pembangunan dalam media seperti memperbodohkan rakyat, rakyat yang terus sokong rasa diperbodohkan. Contoh isu yuran sekolah,ibubapa ingatkan bila KPM kurangkan yuran tak perlulah bayar beratus-ratus rupanya yang dikurangkan tak sampai RM10-masuk akhbar bermingu-mingu macam hebat sangat pengurangan yuran. Keduanya minyak naik tapi Cukai Jalan diturunkan. Rakyat mana tak rasa bodoh. Cukai Jalan bukan hari-hari! Isu wilayah pembangunan diwar-warkan bagai nak rak, peruntukan kepada pengangkutan awam pun jadi macam tu, dekat Hari Raya isu pengangkutan awam masih tak selesai. Sepatutnya peruntukan digunakan pada peringkat “Designing preventive measure” bukan bagi duit sana-sini tapi harga minyak naik. Orang suka dapat duit tapi masalah “design” tak selesai. Bila kerajaan ada duit baguslah, kelak bila tak ada duit inflasi akan jadi teruk, macam-macam “multiplying effect” datang tanpa diminta.
    Saya lihat PKR bagi subsidi air bagi penggunaan bawah RM20. Kemudian BN pun buat bil api bawah RM20 tak payah bayar! Diperbodohkan lagi. macam orang tak nampak. kadar bayaran elektrik meningkat, berapa ramai yang guna elektrik bawah RM20 bagi seisi rumah? Tak pandai kira kot. Bukan nak sokong PKR tapi BN tak ada idea lagi. Ini pandangan peribadi saya agar BN buka mata-kalau nak kekal relevan berubahlah bukan pakai “copy paste” kaedah lama. Masalah sokongan rakyat dan sebab sokongan menurun bagai terang lagi bersuluh-cuma Pak Lah masih belum TERKEJUT, yang dia terkejut kononnya bila Muhyidin Yasin buat kenyataan pelan peralihan kuasa.
    Sayang sarawak sungainya besar..sayang UMNO

  105. Dear Tun,
    Looking at the running no for the comments up to 300+, hopefully you can still read mine. And I wonder do you really read each of these comments personally and digest them or you get your assistant to do it? 🙂
    1. As always stressed by your goodself, will the replacement of Pak Lah as PM really help stabilise and move our country forward? Is it the only way?
    2. I don’t really have confident in PKR/DAP/PAS to run the country smoothly as I doubt they are not used to the nature of the jobs. However, if they are to be given the tasks like the current 5 states won by them in current election, I think they will do just fine with the right attitude and hardwork.
    3. We as citizens are glad that we are here in Malaysia especially after visiting foreign neighbouring Asean grounds like Indonesia and Thailand. We have excellent highways and even trunk roads, beautiful and healthy trees, plantations and highlands, peaceful, colourful and fantastic seashores, comfortable and convenient malls, great hawker foods, casual dinning and fine dinning joints, not too dodgy ‘longkangs’, and quite evenly spread wealth within the community example the poor.
    4. Management of BN certainly is quite a hard job especially when its for the whole country. However, some of the younger generations are pretty satisfied with the achievements of Malaysia so far. Some of the younger generations grow up comparing and admiring the big cities like Singapore, Australia and Europe when they travel, we feel that we are lack of the prestigous life as experienced by the human living in these foreign grounds. However, looking at what we have today, we are happy enough. And we do hope that it would further improve in terms of:
    – Developing and Conceptualising More Renewable Energy and Environmental Friendy Intitiatives(transports, products, foods, constructions)~ please stop open burning!it hurts.
    – ‘Direct’ sharing of small pies from the government jobs & offers
    – Lower Cost of Living
    – Variety of choices for consumers
    – More funding and development to Individual States / our kampungs
    These would all help make Malaysia a better place to live and to love.
    wishing you best of health!

  107. salam Tun,
    I have enjoyed reading some of your thoughts and perspectives on many issues. Some of your ideas are innovative and really beyond the standards of many of our current leaders. I am not bodekking you or whateva because I also have certain reservations about your moves in your times.. but most times my late father used to scold me when I questionned the steps you took, in making this country what it was about 10 years ago.. it was almost a perfect model country of a modern islamic nation. My late father idolise your ability and vision and really hated the reformasi movement which he thought was useless and created much havoc to the nation. My post graduate friends who are from the arab nations only know you and think of you so highly… sadly, not the same to our current premier.
    I find it amusing when some “learned” people posting here actually blame you for the mess Paklah is in. I guess not. Maybe if he had followed you 100% and the country is still in a quagmire , then we can blame you. But no, paklah didnt follow much of what you told him to do, he does thing his way. So, I dont think it is fair that when the country is getting reduced to a fourth world nation, we cannot blame you entirely.
    The only thing we can probably blame you is that you have, with or without realising it, created many monsters in the coalitions, who are greedy and that they have blurred vision between making money for themselves being there, or doing some justice to the voters.
    The leader now must show committment to make the country the best of its kind, the people happy and minimal racial conflicts, but what is happening now? There are so many lack of trust between races, religion and culture. What are the ministers doing? Politicking to get position only? How come no one cares about the people anymore? Just their perut buncit matters? How come people like Mat Taib, Tamby Chik and many more are still in important positions when they have many interesting history the public knows about?
    To one fellow blogger who wrote about paklah sleeping in meeting, due to work strains, i have never heard such stories when Tun was a PM. He was a marvellous leader , even think while he sleeps and have successfully put Malaysia in the world map. But still he did not sleep attending important meetings.
    Tun, dont worry about those minority posts. You are the best.

  108. I STILL BELIEVE RAIS YATIM IS THE ANSWER FOR OUR PROBLEM
    RAIS YATIM
    WISE GUY
    YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
    MATURED
    VISIONARY
    GOOD DIPLOMACY SKILLS
    ETC.
    KENAPA KITA HARUS TERUS BUTAKAN MATA KITA?

  109. DEMOKRASI MATI DALAM UMNO
    99 ORANG AKAR UMBI TAK SOKONG PAK LAH
    1 ORANG BAHAGIAN UNDI PAK LAH
    PAK LAH MASIH BOLEH MENANG
    CONFUSE!!!!
    1% BOLEH MENAFIKAN 99% DALAM UMNO
    DEMOCRACY DIES IN UMNO…

  110. Dear Tun,
    Why Paklah want to keep his jobs until June 2010 ? Maybe there are something very important project or political reform programme to be done. May i suggest that if possible, that Tun spend some precious time to meet and talk to PakLah, otherwise, we are wasted a lot of time and energy talking here, without knowing that Paklah aware of this, that many people are tired and hope that he whould resign as soon as posssible. We can’t find somebody like you, a dynamic and visionary leader. Paklah just too slow and also he slow down the Malaysia economy which is really make people sad and angry. Yet, he loss 5 states in the election, the UMNO and others component parties remain silence or the most, only finger pointing at each ohters. We can’t go on like this, something must be change, but who will make the first move. Barisan Nasional is in danger.

  111. Y.A.Bhg Tun yang dikasihi,
    It’s time for the current government (Component parties)to pull up their socks instead of pointing fingers…give the rakyat what is due to them…or the PR government may become a reality in the 2013 election…we all can screamed and yelled in here… a shoulder to cry on to Tun…and…unfortunately…
    Our beloved Pak Lah will still be sleeping…look here everyone!…”HE IS STILL IN CLOUD NINE”…see…those people at that cloud level can’t and will not think well…can’t make any decisions…don’t want to be blamed for…too tired to think…too tired to do anything…out of focus…speech-less…still in comfort zone…
    He claimed he’s not pressured with the current problem surrounding him everytime he made a press statement…he claimed he wants to rectify the problem before 2010…by then….it will be too late!…people can’t wait to see that change…we can not afford to give an inch more to the opposition to form PR government…and will not let it become a reality…not ever!!
    My dearest Tun…you may not know me personally…but I’ve known you all my life…I’ve learned about your struggle, and your ups/down in politics arena…your endless contributions to the country…etc…you will always be remembered…UMNO is here to stay!
    And to those against you…they can say what they want…but I missed you so much like a son to a father…and another frustrated UMNO & BN supporters….concern for our future generation…salam Aidil Fitri Maaf zahir & Batin.

  112. Slmt Sejahtera Tun Dr M,
    Nak comment sikit pasal posting dari budak U – Syazrul Aqram Iman aka Qareem Need Rebel.
    Kita sekarang membincangkan masalah negara, bukan masalah kat Kolej ok.Performance yang ditunjukkan oleh Tun Dr M amat menyerlah jika dibandingkan dengan yang sekarang. Jadi PM dah semestinya bukan senang..terutamanya untuk buat keputusan..kena hati-hati dan tepat.Bukan ‘senang-senang’ aje buat keputusan..lepas tu flip-flop.
    Benar, berlembut itu bagus..tapi perlu tegas sebagai ketua, yakin serta berfikiran tajam dan kritis..bukan lembut lembik..
    Atas sebab tanggungjawab pada kesejahteraan Negara lah kami menegur PM sekarang… kalau ambil sikap tunggu dan lihat aje..padah Malaysia kita ni…PM sekarang yang di jolokkan kuat tidur tu sebenarnya dalam pengertian sebenarnya adalah bersikap alpa, lambat bertindak (no urgency) bukannya tidur yang berdengkur tu..meskipun gambar beliau tidur tu adalah serbuk perasa atau penyedap untuk kenyataan tersebut.
    Sayang awak tak merasa kemantapan era Tun Dr M sepenuhnya ( tentu awak masih hijau lagi masa beliau resign),saya harap awak belajar rajin-rajin dan bercampur dgn semua jenis orang dari pelbagai latar belakang dan bidang. Atau mungkin awak patut buat MBA selepas awak grad dlm Fizik untuk memantapkan management knowledge & skills awak kerana ternyata ia tak sama dengan konsep Fizik. I hope u dig that, budak U.
    Wasalam, Tun Dr M.

  113. kelemahan pemimpin hari ini adalah punca segala malapetaka sekarang. Kebanyakan pemimpin2 BN especially dari UMNO hanyalah jenis “yes man” dan actually, they don’t care about people. Simple example, bus nak balik kg raya pun jadi masalah besar. Dah tau super peak season, buat la preparation and planning 3-4 months ahead. Bukan dah terantuk sampai benjol, baru nak kecoh. Belum lagi isu ekonomi. Pak Lah, actualy he don’t know what he is doing.

  114. Tun,
    For me, 2 factors that determine good government: Good Party, Stong Leadership.
    Look at current political situation. Sadly we are no way close. The BN itself is heavy attached/challange by party components and external. The link that ties all components party is soo weak, after 50years of merdeka, everything seen wrong and mean nothing…. Yes, i do agree with you, The BN has to a NEW BN with new Leadership and Idealogy and it has to be Malaysian Idealogy.. … that gives new hope for everyone.
    How to turn thing arround, strong leadership (good is not enough). (Wish i still admire about you). But, let face the fact, good leadership is difficult to find and i can’t see in currently our leaders…
    Anyway, it’s not fair for us to ask you to come back, you already serve the country for so long, you have done so many thing for us.
    (for me, there is nothing right or wrong decision as it depended on environment, only the time will tell. I’ hate to look back to history….)
    May be, we should accept ourself that it will be “like that” for time being until new Leader are born….
    Selamat Hari Raya….. to all

  115. Tun,
    I hope you are healthy and well.
    At first when I see the title BN 2. I thought that you are considering a 2 party system. BN 2 with respecting component party mirror BN.
    I think this would resolve the monopoly issue of BN.
    A simple analogy,
    If my car is faulty, and if I am not fully happy with the first repair shop, I can go to the second one. The shop owner will strive to make me happy in order to get my business.
    If there is only one shop, then the shop owner becomes arrogant, rise the service charge as high as they like due to the monopoly and do not care much with their customer.
    In economics, Monopoly is always not good for the consumers.We have now 3 mobile service providers and the outcome of that, the service and call charge rate have drop tremendously.
    About racial harmony. Although I do not agree with Anwar Ibrahim in every thing, one particular thing that he said do make a lot of sense. According to him, whenever UMNO is in trouble, they will produce the race card.
    If you look at the Malay in Indonesia. Some of them do have obtain a good livelihood, however a large number of them are not economically sound. The reason behind it is the inefficiency and very high corruption rate of the country.
    We in Malaysia, do have the same problem which is the corruption and inefficiency. Our monetary value is very low and the income per capita is also low. We are very far away to be considered as a developed country despite of vision 2020.
    BN have been governing the country for half a decade. In order to to camouflage the economic problems, BN politician like the one in Penang always produce racial matters and issues in order for them to look relevant. Some of the issues are artificial rather then truth.
    Pakatan Rakyat have shown the economic factors in their political agenda. This is currently what matters to the people.
    We should stress that racial harmony is crucial for the nation but it should not be exploited in the expense of the economy.

  116. Dear Tun,
    I am so looking forward to the next sequel to “Barisan Nasional”. Frankly, me and all my mates are fed up of Barisan Nasional and especially UMNO. We are all for Pakatan Rakyat.

  117. salam Tun..
    i dont know what you will think about it..But i wonder why there is individual who was put under the ISA for the chaos made my Ahmad Ismail..What about the culprit himself?
    i think DSAI is getting us all killed by his so called call for justice..
    Tun,whatever they spinned about you in the paper, one thing is always for sure..that u are one true nationalist..
    NO ONE, not even those in authority can challenge that.
    best of luck and Eid Mubarak, dear Tun.

  118. Asalamualaikum Tun,
    Semalam orang Penang dan Kelantan menyatakan sokongan mereka kpd AAB sebagai PM. Kelakar betul. Kedua-dua negeri ni adalah negeri2 yang kalah teruk dlm PRU12 dan terpaksa jadi senator untuk dapat jadi menteri. Jadi terpaksalah terus membodek untuk kekal berjawatan. Ahmad Ismail pun terhanguk-hanguk bersama mereka masa sidang akhbar. Mestilah dia menyokong 100% kerana dia terhutang budi kerana AAB tidak mengambil tindakan terhadap dia. Untung2 dilantik jadi Senator dan terus dapat jadi Menteri Undang2. Pasal rupa dia pun dah serupa dengan bekas menteri dulu. Cara cakap pun sama. Jenis cakap tak guna otak yang waras. Saya rasa negara ini akan menjadi hancur lebur kerana sikap pengampu yang diamalkan. BN memang akan hilang di bumi Malaysia ini. Semua orang sudah meluat dengan sikap pengampu2 ini.
    Saya risau apabila mengenangkan apa akan jadi kepada nasib anak2 saya 5 tahun akan datang jika kerajaan sekarang meneruskan sikap yang berpura2 begini. Seluruh Asia tenggara merasakan keadaan ekonomi yang tidak menentu ini,tapi menteria keewangan malaysia yg baru masih boleh tersenyum dan mengatakan Malaysia boleh bertahan dan kadar inflasi boleh dikurangkan. Hari2 saya mendenengar keluhan pemerintah SIngapura mengenai keadaan ekonomi dunia yang akan mendatangkan kesan kepada mereka. Tapi kerajaan Malaysia sungguh selesa dan tidak menampakkan keresahan. Mengapa kerajaan kita ini suka berpura-pura?
    Kalau keadaan ekonomi kita sungguh kukuh, kenapa semua projek-projek dalam RMK 9 yang telah ditenderkan sejak bulan Mac 2008 yang lalu, masih tidak di tawarkan kepada kontraktor lagi. Beratus-ratus tender telah keluar sejak dari bulan Mac, April, May, Jun, July dan Ogos 2008 tetapi satu pun tidak menjadi projek. Ia hanya kekal sebagai tender sahaja. Bayangkan berapa banyak duit yang telah kerajaan BN kumpul dari hasil jualan tender; boleh mencecah lebih RM500,000.00 kalau dicampur seluruh Malaysia. Semalam menteri Kewangan baru berkata, bahawa kerajaan akan meneruskan agenda dalam budget 2009. Macam nak muntah saya dengar. Kalau menteri tu cerita dengan anak saya yang berumur 5 tahun, mungkin budak itu akan percaya bulat-bulat kata Pak Najib.
    Saya percaya jika YB Tun masih memimpin kita, YB Tun sudah pasti akan melakukan sesuatu yang drastik dan menyelamatkan kita dari kehancuran ekonomi. Ada pepatah mengatakan ” If you don’t change direction, you will end up where you are heading” dan dalam konteks kita, kita sedang menuju kehancuran.
    AAB dan kuncu-kuncunya tidak akan sedar masalah ini kerana mereka ada agenda kekayaan sendiri. Hanya YB Tun saja yang akan dapat menyelamatkan kita dan negara kita yang tercinta ini.
    Wasallam

  119. ASWB tun & fellow bloggers,
    Just to quote Tun’s statement;
    7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.
    Not all Malays are angry with the Chinese and not all Chinese are angry with Malays.Only the politicians are adamant with one another.
    E.g – the Umno Penang & Gerakan/MCA have already severed their ties.
    Definitely the UMNOPUTRAS are angry and having grudge with GERAKAN in particular if compared with MCA. Of course the UMNOPUTRAS are angry with the DAP and PKR for trying to topple the current federal government and reform the country’s policies.
    Should there be any Malays or Chinese are angry to one another could be attributed to their personal reasons; Malays in the private sector feel that they are being discriminated based on ethnicity and not based on performance/meritocracy. And The chinese due to the certain rights they they feel that they are not getting from the government and the treatment from their fellow Malays in education and business.
    Is it right for us to stereotype that if the politicians are angry to one another, then the entire race will also be drawn to the bickering ?. Like Tun’s third last statement; “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.” just because Ahmad Ismail & Pg UMNO are having crisis with Tsu Koon and GERAKAN doesn’t make it right for us to streotype that Malays are angry with the Chinese community. THE TRUTH IS THAT THE CHINESE COMMUNITY DO NOT TRUST UMNO and Barisan Nasional anymore.A good evidence to cite during the aftermath of the 12th GE in Penang that the Chinese voters openly voted for the party other than BN component parties. A friend of mine openly told me that, if PKR/DAP/PAS were to field any ‘dick’ or ‘harry’, they would undoubtely vote for the candidate.
    The ‘crisis’ epicentre started in Bukit Bendera PG and there’s a feeling of animosity between the former BN comrade in arms- UMNO & GERAKAN. they are not in talking terms now and definitely this scenario reinforces the PKR/Dap stranglehold on the state government and the Penangites’ loyalty. If this CRISIS were to go on, then the PKR/DAP will definitely to continue governing Penang to another term.the ones who will suffer out of this political bickering will be definitely be the Penang Malays. IF DURING THE ERA OF BN GOVERNANCE, THE PENANG MALAYS ARE STILL NOT PROGRESSIVE AND REMAIN BACKWARDS, THEN JUST PONDER THEIR FATE & SITUATION UNDER THE PKR/DAP led government. What is it going to be for them ?

  120. hi tun.
    one thing that amazes me is how malaysians in general can continue to accept politicians suspected of wrongdoings in the first place. around the world when leaders are suspected of any wrongdoings they almost immediately get rejected and resigns before being sacked. in malaysia the culture is so strange – our leader will accept carrying the tag as a ‘murderer’ or ‘weakest leader in malaysian history’ and go on as if nothing has happened.
    now i wonder if a ‘sodomiser’ or ‘murderer’ is going to be a better leader, although i will try to say that they are innocent until proven otherwise. (the weak leader is probably irrelevant from now). if i were u i will jump out of nowhere and give these 2 aspiring leaders a new challenge. change some fundamental problems with the rakyat’s dissatisfactions and i think u can kick these 2 (or 3 if we include AAB) out of the picture once and for all. one thing for sure though, u ought to consider your ‘racist’ approach – the people suffer and children grow up being racist if our leaders carry this approach in their leadership.
    every country goes through ups and down and perhaps it will take people with the leadership like you to change the mindset of every race. i’m sure you’ll be more respected than ever before if you can do just that.

  121. salam TUN,
    Saya tertarik dgn satu komen yg dihantar oleh saudara Syazrul Aqram Iman dalam blog ini. Pelajar tahun 3 Sains Fizik Universiti Sains Malaysia katanya. Tak nak komen banyak cukuplah kalau saya katakan belajarlah dulu, komen tu tak bernas langsung dan bukan seperti pemikiran orang terpelajar. Tapi mungkin juga komen dari orang yang hanya tahu/sedang belajar tak mungkin sama dengan mereka yang bekerja/berpengalaman dan merasai perit hidup sekarang ni..
    Belajar sampai lulus dan kerja baru saudara bagi komen macam tu..

  122. Assalammualaikum YBhg Tun,
    Saya cukup hairan dengan ahli-ahli politik BN dan rakyat Malaysia sekarang ini. Tidakkah mereka sedar yang kita harus bersatu di bawah satu parti supaya kita kuat dan kukuh sepanjang masa. Bak kata pepatah bulat pembetung kerana air bulat manusia kerana muafakatnya. Ada lagi pepatah lain, jika sebatang lidi mudah untuk dipatahkan tetapi jika seikat lidi susah untuk dipatahkan. Banyak pepatah yang mengajak kita bersatu. Saya juga percaya banyak juga pepatah yang maksudnya sama dalam budaya Cina, India, Iban, Kadazan, Murut, dll. Tetapi kenapa kita tidak mengendahkannya??? Saya belajar semua makna pepatah ini di bangku sekolah lagi. Orang tua ajar tetapi mereka tidak pula mengikutnya. Orang tua di sini maksudnya para pemimpin kita itulah.
    Bersatulah wahai bangsaku jika kamu tidak mahu melihat tanahair kita ini musnah!!!

  123. Yg Amat B’bahgia Tun. Kami sokong Tun 100% tapi apa caranya hendak suruh Mr AAB supaya turun, kerana kalau 2010 dia masih bolih kayakan menantu dan anaknya. Tapi, ta’kan ta ada jalan lain yang bolih bawa dia turun. Najib memang amat takutkan AAB supaya rahsianya dengan kes altantuya tidak dipecahkan AAB. Ketua umno yang lain ada kepentingan sendiri seperti muhammad muhammad taib, tengku adnan tengku (now) mansor,syarir samat, nak maintain position, so siapa yang bolih turunkan dia??? Tolonglah Tun, we cannot take this any more, kerana Malaysia bukan Malaysia yang pernah dihormati olih negara asing dahulu lagi… we love you and long life Tun and Tun Dr Siti Asmah.

  124. Salam Tun,
    Awat la Tun bagi Malaysia kat Pak Lah…. kami yang yang dok aman dan sentosa di bumi bertuah nih tersiksa sgt sekarang. Memang state government of Penang bagus sekarang tapi kalau depa menang lagi next election pakat semua orang Melayu dok dalam pondok la.
    Your are always my idol…..since my schooling era until now….the only ultramalay….Selamat Hari Raya buat Tun sekeluarga dari saya sekeluarga.

  125. Selamat Berpuasa Tun yang di sanjungi,
    Semoga Tun Sehat selalu dan di Rahmati Allah.
    To Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad,
    You must be living in a dream world full of idealism. Where everything goes according to the TRUTH as you see it.
    It so unbecoming of a Doctor (is it medical or PHD?) to pen such an emotional out burst! Do you have an axe to grind with BN or UMNO or Tun.
    Or perhaps you had been badly slighted or hurt or suffer under the hands of these people. Or may be you lost lots of money by people claiming to be with UMNO who cheated you in a purported joint venture.
    Everyone agrees with you that corruption is rife in UMNO. There are thousands if not millions of claims to that effect. But without proof and witnesses how do you prosecute these wrong doers.
    In your Singapore the CPIB (ACA) can use their draconians laws to do whatever to catch these people. But in Malaysia Only the ISA can do that – even then when used it will cause a lot of backlash from many quarters – as shown recently.
    Corruption is present everywhere – even in your clean Singapore. Can you vouch by you holy book that there is 100% no corruption in Singapore? Or do you just wish to see the truth – as you see it.
    No one is perfect and no system is perfect. Not even the capitalist economic and financial system – it has now shown it darkside in a most unbecoming manner.
    For all Tuns weakness his strength and achievements out weighs all misdeeds he may have done. Misdeeds done (i am sure with) pure and sincere intentions for Malaysian.
    Great people are driven by a vision and with an overdrive of passion. That is what makes them great and able to achieve considerable goals.
    Many people (in Malaysia) may not agree to his vision or are just getting in the way of his grand vision of Malaysia (whixh all malaysians are enjoying). So for the sake of the Majority and the Nation the few have to be sidelined.
    Do you think your LKY does not do the same thing?
    As Doctor I suggest you take a week off from work and go to Langkawi to meditate and do some introspection. Try to discover the Truth as it really is. May your god grant you that wisdom.

  126. Assalamualaikum Tun dan keluarga,
    Kalau ikut hati rasa malas nak ambil tahu fasal politik sekarang, tapi bila dikenang masa depan nasib kita terutama anak-anak kita, risaulah pulak.
    Rasanya ramai lagi yang merasakan apa yang saya rasa. Harapan saya agar perkara ini tidak berpanjangan. Api kemarahan antara kaum perlu dipadamkan segera.
    Masa Tun mengumumkan pengunduran Tun, Makandeh menangis dan sekilas membayangkan perkara yang tak elok ini bakal berlaku. Bukan kerana taksub kepada Tun, tetapi seingat saya, sepanjang pemerintahan Tun perkara ketegangan kaum ini tak pernah terjadi.
    Oleh itu, saya mengharapkan pemimpin yang berkuasa yang tentunya dah ‘berusia’, tunjuklah contoh teladan yang baik pada anak cucu kita yang satu hari nanti bakal menjadi pelapis bagi menjadi pemimpin negara. Kalau boleh terimalah pandangan bekas pemimpin yang mempunyai pengalaman yang luas. Jangan dok syok sendiri.
    Kepada Tun, pandangan Tun amat kami hargai. Semoga Tun tak jemu untuk menegur dan memberi pandangan atau ide-ide yang bernas demi keutuhan negara kita.
    Selamat berpuasa dan selamat Hari Raya untuk Tun sekeluarga.

  127. Tun,
    I totally agree with statement no. 21: I believe that for this multi-racial, multi-lingual, multi-religious and multi-cultural country with extreme economic disparities, the BN is still the best political solution provider. It is still the best way for the different races to cooperate to govern this country.
    But BN need to change their view about other races (including Malays) other than UMNOputra. Currently BN policies, businesses and everything else is all about UMNOputra only. The Non-Malays are not angry with Malays but they are surely angry with UMNO.
    UMNO can still be the dominate party in BN but not with 99% absolute power where the other component parties are merely a bystander. In Penang, the Gerakan lead local Govt. is just a puppet to Ahmad, Hilmi and his “mamak” gang. Does those mamak gangsters care about Malays or any other races, no they only fill their pockets with money. Those that have connection with this mamak gang will get business but everyone else just sit and look. Further more with a leader like Ah Koon, Penang just stand still for 18 years. Do you think Penangites are blind and stupid to continue to vote for BN? What did BN Govt. do for Penang?? UMNO is too arrogant and GERAKAN is totally useless and that cause BN to fail. The citizens of Malaysia is fed-up with UMNO not BN.
    Tun, if you do come back into UMNO please make sure UMNO is more fair to the non-malays and the non-malays will support BN again like they used to. Forget about MCA and MIC they are useless, non committal and spineless party and they are not the important factor for BN to shine again. It is UMNO fairer policies that are going to be the critical point for BN to raise again. Remove the UMNOputra crutches, sack those kris waving politicians and sent the mamak gang members back to MIC and you will find peace, stability and prosperity in Malaysia.
    You can be the savior of Malaysia and a legend too.

  128. Dear Doctor Mahathir,
    I am sad to see that after so many years of your contribution to the country that you still have to worry for the future of our nation. Just only after a few years of your retirement, the foundation that you build so hard for is now shaken
    I hate to realise that WE RAKYAT MALAYSIA (NOT ONLY THE GOVERNMENT) are so incompetent. Some of them are even thinking of migrating..Im Malaysian Chinese and I hate to aknowleged that most of them are my fellow Malaysian Chinese…suprising that they don’t mind becoming a second class citizen in other country instead of their own.
    Many Malaysian Chinese fail to realise a few things-
    1. We have a much prosper life in average compared to the Mainland Chinese People.
    2. We retained the pride of our race by having our own school, celeberate our religion and customs. Please be reminded other Chinese in like our Neighbour Indonesia and Thailand they do not have the privelege to have their own family name.
    3. Our bumi friends are learning a lot of our tradition and culture. Including the virtue of ‘hardworking’.. Many of the Bumi father/Mother are holding two or three jobs a day to raise his/her family. They send their kids to Chinese School in hope for better education and as competent as us in the society.
    My Malay friends are taking night class in learning mandarin..some of them can even sing mandarin song in KARAOKE!…they enjoy watching Hong Kong Series..they like Andy Lau, Jet Li, Jacky Chan, Michelle Yeoh(One of our Malaysian Pride).
    We eat Bah Kut Teh and they eat Chi Kut Teh(Chicken).
    We give Ang Pao and they give Ching Pao(Ang Pao in Green for Hari Raya)
    We all willng to sacrifise for brigther future for our kids.
    My fellow Malaysian KAMI MEMANG TIDAK BANYAK BERBEZA
    However, you have identified one crucial point. Malaysian Chinese do not request for any privilege from the government. We want to be accepted as Malaysian Not Orang Cina.
    We want to our contribution and ideas be recognized and appreciated.
    We wants talents to run our country regardless of races. That is why ALL MALAYSIAN have so much faith in you sir.
    Please don’t get so dissapointed with us..we are still on the right track towards WAWASAN 2020.
    PS: Stop comparing Singapore with Malaysia..90% of the 3 millions Singaporian(LOCALS) are Chinese. They not even considered a true MULTI RACIAL Country.

  129. Dear TUN,
    I have always admired your leadership and courage, but are getting more frustrated with the policies in our country the past 51 yrs without much improvement.
    I agreed with Tun that running a country is like running a business, so is the way we teach our kid the same way leader bread good citizen. For those who are weak, we should give them courage and an environment to be train well, and not to give any sort of “tongkat”. Tongkat have made the Malay getting weaker. Malay, as well as other races could have good potential and succeed in life without tongkat. Look at Malay working in Public Bank, they are so good and efficient if not better than Chinese or Indian cause they are being treated like the rest without bias. The environment has really released their hidden talent.
    When politicians said having AP is to bread Malay entrepreneur, that is really a joke, because any given person in this world given such privilege could hardly fail. So do you think doing business in such protected environment could bread good entrepreneur? Please stop lying, these people could never be able to counter any economic upheaval, could not compete in equal ground. Why our government keep making Malay worse off in long run. No one in the world look up to them when they succeed, no one trust their ability, no one sincerely wanted to work with them. Ask yourself how many Malay would be successful in the international arena? Perhaps our government just want to give Malay money for their living, and not planning to train them? Does the government think that the Malay are hopeless?
    Pamper a child could only bring them misery and failure in their adult life, so is pamper the Malay. Let them experience falling; let them experience bitterness; let them experience hardship, could then bread successful; respectable Malay entrepreneur that work well within and outside Malaysia.
    God bless our Malay friends.
    Selamat Hari Raya Tun

  130. Salam Tun,
    If only the Barisan Malay Leaders ruled the country based on religion which is Islam…then we won’t face all this problems because Islam love and takes care and love everybody no matter what race they are…..
    May Allah save us all!

  131. Salam kepada YAB Tun dan rakan2 bloggers,
    1. Apa yang saya nampak, kaum Cina dan kaum India rata2 mahu kita percaya bahawa parti seperti BN yang kononnya ‘race-based’adalah tidak relevan lagi…maka alternatif yang ada ialah parti yang ala ‘malaysian malaysia’
    2. Ini satu perjudian. Nothin to lose. Kalau masih berterusan parti ‘race-based’ mereka masih ada tempat, ada bajet untuk tolong kaum masing2, masih boleh minta apa yang diingini…
    3. Tapi kalau berjaya menyakinkan semua orang bahawa BN tidak relevan, maka tuntutan ‘malaysian malaysia’ akan menjadi kenyataan, tambahan pula terdapat orang melayu yang sudah tidak suka lagi cara UMNO, tetapi lebih selesa dengan saranan pakatan rakyat.
    4. Jadi saya nampak segelintir kecil sahaja kaum cina, india dan melayu yang berminat untuk mempertahankan BN.
    5. Teori saya adalah berdasarkan apa yang sedang berlaku dalam BN sekarang. Tidak nampak semangat setiakawan…Ahmad bercakap sebagai Ahmad, tapi parti komponen serang Ahmad mewakili UMNO. Si baghal Dollah dan Najib pulak cepat2 mohon ampun, maka otak bisnes ni tahulah sedalam mana dosa orang UMNO ni, maka ‘play hard to get’. Kalau ada setiakawan, bisik dalam mesyuarat BN apa yang terbaik, tetapi diriuh-rendahkan dalam media…apa motifnya?
    6. Motifnya ialah ‘to get the ball rolling, to get momentum, to increase the support….’. Ini cara terbaik untuk membuat tuntutan yang se adanya. Same thing had happened during PRU 1999.
    7. Why these nonsenses were effectively managed during Tun’s time? why now its like nobody’s business?
    8. Why BN members from non-UMNO keeping quiet bout Dollah’s weaknesses? bout him as the main culprit? You would rather hurt the malays in general than going straight to the source, why? Becos you wanna use that lame duck, right? You’ve waited so long to get people like Dollah to come to make demands and ‘throwing your tantrums’
    Tun, how I wished the leaders of those component parties in BN (other than UMNO)are more sincere, genuine.

  132. SALAM BUAT TUN SEKELURGA.
    TUN,
    Saya bukan sahaja hilang kepercayaan terhadap DSAAB tetapi kebelakangan ini saya juga tidak rasa yakin dengan DS Najib. Mereka ini tidak cukup kuat atau pengaruh untuk menambat ringgit pada satu tahap tertentu. Mungkin mereka ini takut kepada kuasa GLOBALISASI anjuran Amerika dan tidak mampu untuk menangkis serangan nanti. Mereka takut.
    Wassalam TUN.
    P.S. Beberapa artikel saya tidak di siarkan oleh TUN. Walaupun kecewa sedikit tapi saya fikir mungkin TUN hendak mengajar apa yang boleh ditulis dan apa yang tidak. PLEASE MAKE A COMEBACK TUN MALAYSIA NEED YOU.

  133. Dear YBHG Tun,
    Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera. Saya sangat berharap yang Tun dapat menerajui UMNO & BN kembali sebelum hancur parti ini. Saya tak tahu apa akan jadi kepada negeri kesayangan kita ini apabila DSAI menerajui negara ini. Saya pasti beliau dan konco-konco dia akan bertambah kaya dan US pasti akan buka pengkalan mereka disini.
    Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Dzahir & Batin kepada YBHG Tun, Tun Dr Hasmah dan keluarga.
    ZAIMI ZAKARIA

  134. Dear Tun,
    There are many reasons why some UMNO members, cabinet ministers and even people of Malaysia voiced out their unhappiness. The most important and significant reason is because we are currently having the weakest leader ever.
    JL

  135. Assalammualaikum Tun Dr Mahathir,
    First of all, thank you for the good article again. Surely, MCA & Gerakan once again play the racial issue to save their faces from the poor performance in the last GE.
    UMNO has been a punching bag from its own partner in BN and from the opposition. The sad story is PAS overreact in belittle UMNO and its nasionalism movement.
    What UMNO can do now is to quickly change its leader. But unfortunately Pak Lah refuse to give on. I bet you Tun he will stay on for the December UMNO election and win easily. The rules in UMNO makes him so powerful and the laws in the country make him super power.
    As such, looking at the current state of affair, the political scenario will not be much change and UMNO ship will continue to slow down. The opposition will cross the final line because it is not to say they are good but UMNO, MCA, Gerakan and MIC have made a lot of mistakes. They argue openly in the public society make the rakyat give up of them all.
    Once BN lost, you can see a new era of Malay become slave in its own land. The lyric of anak kecil main api by dr nordin kardi will be played in the near jungle in 10 years after that where Malay will stay; waiting for another good leader to guide them. The Malay wouldnt know that no such man will come since they are interested in making fast money, selling their land, stabbing in the back, jealous, greedy and most of all sleep during working hours.
    Very sad. But you and I will not be around to watch this episode. We are gone. Your grandchild and my children are going to experience all this.

  136. YAB Tun,
    I am a partyless person. I mentioned this before in my comments but during every election, I performed my duty as a responsible citizen to vote. Please do not ask me which symbol did I put my pen onto because my vote is supposed to be secret.
    I voted during PRU 12, March 8, 2008. That date could be the beginning of a new chapter in Malaysian political history – the worst ever result for BN. Ever since that date, Malaysian political scene has been the same as before.
    As an ordinary citizen, I do not see any concrete effort taken by the present administration to serve the rakyat. What we have seen so far are decisions that affect the lives of ordinary rakyat. Increase in the price of fuel has a chain reaction in the increase of others such as food, transportation etc.
    BN leaders seems to be preoccupied with party matters rather than pooling their effort and resources to serve the rakyat. MCA will be having their party election in October. UMNO will be having theirs in December. Judging by the number of UMNO members who are aspiring to fill the various posts of Vice Presidents and Supreme Council Members, its like as if everyone wants to be there. They want the post because with that, comes power. Personal agenda supercede every other thing, including providing service to the rakyat who voted these representatives to where they are now.
    Voters can take a back seat. Election has just been completed and the next is still a long way to come….so they could be disregarded for now.
    Any party including BN could still be relevant provided it follows and upholds the principles that has been laid down. Another important aspect is its leadership. For a party like BN, it needs a strong and visionary leader who could lead, NOT a leader who is being lead to lead!
    I sincerely hope that our leaders would read what has been written in this blog. There are lots of good comments that could be used by the administrators as a guide to help better manage this beloved country.
    For those representatives that will be attending UMNO and MCA party election in December and October respectively, use your voting power to chart this beloved country’s futute to ensure a better and secure environment for us and our generation to live in.
    May ALLAH protect and guide us all through this trying times.
    Selamat menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri buat YAB Tun sekeluarga.

  137. Salam Tun,
    This is my first comments since I visit ur blog 2 months ago.
    I wonder why today many Malaysian
    1. Did not respect others religion and sensitivity.
    2. Did not know how to diffrentiate Malaysia and Sabah/Swak ( Many semenanjung people, they always call semenanjung is Malaysia.)
    3. When the first time i came to Peninsular in Dec 1998, many people ask me whether S’wakian still living on the tree, living in the deep jungle.(x sekolah punya orang)
    4. support Anwar Ibrahim…
    According to one pak cik i knew from Kedah..
    During Rundingan Baling between Tunku Abdul Rahman and Chin Peng.So the solution is, to get Merdeka and to smooth the merdeka plan, Chin Peng has to out from Malaya. So Merdeka lah.. Then Lee Kuan Yew as a Chinese Leader also want a post…kacau-kacau punya hal..cina sama melayu gaduh.. Then terpaksa lepaskan S’pore.. Then saki baki Chin Peng pun tidak puas hati.. they try so hard to fight the Gov… Dgr cherita..Lim Kit Siang tu anak buah Chin Peng la tu..
    Tun, tolong betulkan saya jika silap..Jika pakcik ni bohong saya pun bohong la..

  138. Salam Tun.
    Of course BN masih relevan tapi hanya apabila ia dapat mengekalkan non-malays dalam parti. Bagi saya kita tak perlu salahkan Pak Lah sepenuhnya kerana membinasakan negara tercinta. Mungkin Pak Lah silap kerana tidak mempergunakan kebijaksaan dan pengaruh Tun ketika mula2 menjadi PM dulu malah membatalkan banyak projek tanpa memikirkan implikasinya kepada ekonomi negara, dengan alasan kononnya kewangan tidak mencukupi. Walhal semua orang tahu nilai KLCI hampir mencecah 2000! Hari ini kita dapat lihat balasan kepada Pak Lah kerana menjadi si Tanggang yang lupa diri, tidak menghormati pemimpin Terulung yang pernah mengangkat martabat negara dimata dunia!
    Yang menghancurkan negara bukan Pak Lah tetapi Anwar yang meracun minda rakyat. Siapa yang memulakan perbalahan antara kaum kalau tidak Anwar yang gilakan kuasa.

  139. Setuju, M’sia masih memerlukan parti yg mewakili kaum masing2. Jadi masalah yg membelenggu kaum masing2 dpt disampaikan pada PM oleh ketua2 yg dipilih.
    Tetapi yg kesiannya kaum India, yg mana saya rasa tidak begitu diambil berat oleh ketua kaumnya terutamanya membabitkan pelajaran.
    BN harus mengambil berat pada beberapa perkara:
    Rasuah – Saya percaya rasuah tidak dpt dihapuskan sama sekali tetapi patut dikurangkan terutamanya di pejabat2 kerajaan.
    Persefahaman kaum – Harus diajar disekolah2 utk menghormati kaum & kepercayaan masing2.
    Last, ketua pemimpin haruslah yang bijak memimpin, tegas & bebas dari rasuah.

  140. Salam Tun,
    I feel that the UMNO party Whip has to do its job more rigorously and keep its MPs in check. This will send signals to its MPs to be wary. MPs have to live up to a higher moral self for they represents their constituency.
    I think the same should apply to BN. It should have a coalition whip to reign in its rank and file.
    This is one way to reduce the mixed signals sent out from MPs from the same party. One voice.

  141. Dear Y.A.Bhg Tun
    Dengan jelas sekali BN & UMNO sedang menuju ke arah yang amat membimbangkan.
    Pemimpin2 kerajaan dan menteri2 pulak masih ikut tradisi dan tidak membuat perubahan(Masih jadi Pak Turut). Kerana mementingkan diri sendiri dengan jawatan yang disandang. Cuma ada 2 atau 3 pemimpin yang berani bercakap BENAR dan mahukan perubahan yang secepat mungkin.
    Kami amat menghargai keberanian menteri kabinet yang berani bersuara, mahukan perubahan dan abaikan kepentingan diri sendiri demi parti, bangsa dan negara.
    Ini adalah “basic requirement” yang mesti ada pada setiap pemimpin negara.
    Di sini kami amat merindui zaman kepimpinan Tun dan harap-haraplah ia akan jadi “Back To The Future”

  142. Saya amat berharap kerajaan sekarang boleh ditukar dengan segera memandangkan penyalahgunaan kuasa (oleh Botak no.1) telah meleluasa. Hari ini Raja Petra (Botak no.2) telah dibuang ke Kamunting untuk menikmati makanan yang bernilai RM4.50 sehari (McK valued meals).
    Apakah tiada bill yang lagi sesuai selain ISA? Baik mansuhkan semua bills yang lain dan kekalkan satu sahaja, iaitu ISA. cukup dah tu. One for all.
    UMNO memang tidak relevan lagi. Tetapi Pakatan rakyat akan terus mengingati jasa mereka dalam memory lane (1981-2003).

  143. what mr.anwar is doing simply divide n rule….history has proved that divide and rule will work to gain victory….

  144. Well, TDM advise is timely. I hope those current BN leaders especially that of UMNO take heed our TDM comment. Kick the fellow out of Putra Jaya before it is too late.
    Shabas Tun and SELAMAT BERPUASA DAN SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI, AMPUN DAN MAAF DARI SAYA SE KELUARGA.

  145. Tun, masalah sekarang ramai yang masih tidak sedar masalah dalaman adalah berpunca dari orang dalam sendiri.
    Oleh itu, mereka terus hanyut dibuai mimpi indah dan terus dikipas oleh pihak yang berkepentingan.
    Tun, bukankah itu politik,
    penuh dengan penipuan sekarang ini.
    Politik sekarang sungguh memalukan..
    http://unwanted86.blogspot.com

  146. I’m just thinking that if there are only 2 choices a rakyat can pick:- Either a reformed BN or a newly formed Pakatan Rakyat, I’ll bet my money on the formal. We can see what BN have done and contribute to rhe country but we see as well their 50 years of hardwork and reputation are deterioting very fast. I agree with Tun that most of the rakyat voted for opposition because of their dissapointment with BN. They (BN) have totally ignore the voice of rakyat. I believe not much are willing to take the risk to hand over our future to the opposition, which I thought still too inexperince to manage the whole country. I really love this country from my heart since I was a child and I really proud of this beautiful country. I can feel the hair standing on my neck whenever I told people where am I from when I was overseas. Sadly, I don’t have this feeling anymore. I can feel that I’m actually hesitated sometimes to tell people where am I from. I’m really sad that as I’m growing older, my pround feeling of this country is decreasing. I’m not anti-BN or anti-opposition, I’m just thinking the best for this country at this time. I’m actually glad at what happened after the 308, at least some of the BN people started to think about what they did wrong in the past and where they should be going in future(unlike some stubborn monkey still playing with races issue). I really hope the current government can really take some actions soooner rather than later to save our conuntry from further economic and political turnmoil. Up until now, I’d rather risking my future on the hand of opposition than the dissapointing BN.

  147. Salam Tun,
    UMNO mesti kena berubah dengan segera sebelum berkubur. Buka peluang kepada generasi pelapis yang berkelulusan tinggi dan mempunyai kelayakan profesional, mereka ni lah yang kena groom sebagai generasi pelapis.
    pendapat saya UMNO jadi seperti sekarang adalah disebabkan oleh system peringkat pemilihan pemimpin dari peringkat bawahan yang seperti cawangan, bahagian di mana siapa dapat bagi lebih dia tu yang dilantik atau di pilih. Background education priority tu jatuh no dua.Bila pemimpin di lantik berdasarkan siapa yg bagi lebih ni la yg terjadi sekarang ni..peringkat pelapis pemimpin UMNO pertengahan ni yg bermasalah dah la cakap pun tak pandai..ada pi beli degree on line je..So bila mereka ni naik yang jadi pelapis yang dilantik pun di lantik yang macam lembu juga.. ikut je cakap je..kalau lantik yang pandai nanti nampak yg ketua ni bodoh pulak..so tradisi ni dah berterusan..
    Golongan profesional ni dah tak de platfrom nak ketengah dan awal awal lagi dah kena cantas jadi cam na..
    Sebagai alternative tempat pun tak da, idea pun tak nak di dengar..dok dengar idea bodoh pun boleh diterima oleh penyokong si ketua ni ..Mereka ni la pi menyokong pembangkang at least sekurang kurangnya mereka ni ada yg nak dengar dengan tujuan bagi sedikit mesej supaya UMNO sedar…Kalau UMNO tak sedar lagi dan tak berubah saya risau UMNO akan berkubur dan Bangsa Melayu pun akan ikut layu di Tanah Melayu…

  148. Dr M,
    Again I disagree with you on the continuance on racial politics and the fear of what would happen if Malaysia do not have parties along racial lines. It might be fine if Malaysia is extremely self sustainable and does not need to live with the rest of the world. In today’s world, it is considered politically incorrect to invest in countries like Malaysia where racial bias is practiced by the government. Say what you may about what the rest of the world not understanding the true intentions of the government.
    It is still constituitional racism rearing it’s ugly head. Given the choice, I would not invest in Malaysia.
    30 years ago, it was predicted that Malaysia would turn into another Indonesia with the majority of the people being poor. There was just no effort to keep the best brains to run the country as efficiently as possible. All natural resources were squandered with white elephants projects and stolen from the people through corruption.
    Malaysians have some really talented people and they are now living overseas or just across the border to the south. Singapore is built mainly by Malaysians who were recruited by Singapore. They recognised wasted talent and welcome them in willingly. Malaysia on the other hand willingly kick them out due to the fact that they are not bumis. Fine. Your loss, our gain to Singapore and the rest of the world.
    Wake up Dr. M, Malaysia is falling further and further behind in terms of being competitive with the rest of the world and has even fallen futher behind a lot of third world countries that it used to be ahead of. It is because of racial politics. I for one would not want to sacrifice for Malaysia if treated like a second class citizen and would gladly die and even fight Malaysia for my new country that treated me so well and respectfully.

  149. Salam Tun.
    Perhatian kepada Abdul Rashid Abdullah dan Annuar Musa.
    Saya tidak pasti apa yang sedang anda fikirkan. Tidakkah anda mendengar suara akar umbi yang tidak setuju dengan pelan peralihan 2010 @ “Pelan Pelan-Pelan”
    Adakah anda ingin menonjolkan diri sebagai juara kampung yang menyokong pucuk pimpinan yang lemah semata-mata ganjaran yang ditawarkan?
    Atau anda masih menaruh harapan manalah tahu satu hari nanti ganjaran lebih besar bakal menanti.
    Abdul Rashid, andalah salah satu punca BN kalah di PP. Kegagalan anda menjaga kepentingan orang melayu keseluruhannya menyebabkan BN hilang pengaruh di kalangan orang melayu.
    Semasa menjawat sebagai TKM anda ternyata gagal melaksanakan tugas yang diamanahkan. Anda tidak sepatutnya menyalahkan Dr Helmi (penyandang sebelumnya) kerana anda dan beliau tiada bezanya.
    Kesilapan besar anda yang utama adalah kerana menjadi pak turut kepada Tsu Koon, Hock Nan dan konco-konconya. Juga kerana terlalu melayan nafsu besar para pemimpin UMNO bahagian untuk mengagih-agihkan projek sesama sendiri tanpa mengambilkira persepsi rakyat jelata yang sentiasa memerhatikan gelagat anda.
    Adakah anda rasa kali ini dengan mengisytiharkan sokongan anda kepada “pelan pelan-pelan 2010” anda sudah ‘secure’kan kedudukan anda?
    Sesungguhnya memang “Melayu Mudah Lupa”.

  150. Salam Tun,
    TENTANG PERALIHAN KUASA :- Pak Le…Lah memang lebih mementingkan diri, keluarga dan kroninya saja, bukan pentingkan parti dan rakyat jelata, bagi beliau hang semua pergi mampuslah asalkan aku masih lagi berkuasa. Beliau telah pergi berbuka puasa keseluruh negeri nak minta Perhubungan Negeri menyokongnya dalam isu peralihan kuasa.
    itulah sebabnya semalam Pak Turut Dan Kaki Bodek Tan Sri Anuar Musa yang banyak scandal duit dan lain2 beri sekongan 100% bagi pihak UMNO Kelantan dan membuat keputusan macam UMNO Kelantan hak mak bapaknya yang punya. Kalaulah betul mintalah pandangan dari semua Cawangan dan Bahagian.
    TENTANG PERLANTIKKAN WAKIL KHAS PM UNTUK NCER KEPADA SAHIDAN KASSIM.
    Wahai Pak Le….Lah apakah orang didalam MOF, EPU,JKR dan Khazanah tidak layak diberi tanggung jawab itu, dan kenapa wang rakyat dibazirkan untuk diberi kepada Sahidan Kassim ?.
    TENTANG PERLANTIKKAN IDRIS JUSOH SEBAGAI PENGERUSI MARA.
    Semua orang tahu yang Idris adalah seorang yang boros dalam segi pembelanjaan dan keras kepala kenapalah letaknya dia ditempat rakyat miskin meminta bantuan. Orang yang ego akan pergunakan MARA 100% untuk kepentingan puaknya dan diharap BPR memantau MARA dalam isu pemberian kontrak, takut2 nanti adalah puak dari MONSUN CUP, PARTICK ABDULLAH diberi Perojek Pembinaan SEK .MARA atau MRSM.
    WAHAI AHLI UMNO AKAR UMBI TOLAKLAH KJ.AZEEZ PUTRA, SHAZAMIN,ZAKI,ALWI,PATMI,DAN SOKONGLAH MUKRIZ, SAZMI,TG,TOK PA,untuk pemilihan Disember ini.
    SELAMAT HARI RAYA MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN BUAT TUN DAN KELURGA JUGA KWN SEMUA>

  151. Hi Tun,
    I think BN has lived its good old days. Change is here whether we like it or not. If there has to be a change then it must be just not the leader or any political party but the system itself needs a change. It is just not the dressings but the contents.
    The Malaysia of Muhibbah concept of yesteryears must evolve according to the times and mentality of today’s generation. Racial distinction should not be emphasized but the patriotic word “Malaysian” must become the byword in the mouths of Malaysians.
    I agree one person in the football team can make a difference but at the end of the day its the performance of the whole team that brings victory. I have noticed that the chinese played an important role in the finance ministry those days but now we hardly see any of them playing an important role, why is it? This is because of race based politics; I agree we need racial balance yet we should not compromise the availability of capable persons irrespective of race or political party.
    The governance of a nation should not only be placed in the hands of the elected politicians alone but everyone plays a part including bankers, businessmen, professionals, civil servants and the public sectors. Its about time that consultative bodies be appointed to work hand in hand with the politicians in the Government Ministries.
    We need changes and we should not be afraid.
    An elected politician is sometimes heading a Ministry or department in which he or she may lack the experience or expertise in which case a professional consultative body can assist.

  152. Assalamualaikum w.t.w Yang Dikasihi (YDK) Tun,
    Selamat menyambut ramadhan yang mulia dan selamat menyambut Aidil fitri untuk YDK Tun sekeluarga. Harap YDK Tun akan mengadakan majlis rumah terbuka sempena Aidil Fitri ini dan menyedarkan maksud bersatupadu, bertolakansur dan saling menyayangi sebagai satu rakyat malaysia walau berbeza agama, bangsa, bahasa dan budaya tanpa mengira peringkat usia.
    Semuga YDK Tun Sekeluarga sihat walafiat sentiasa.

  153. Salam Tun,
    quote”
    7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO. ” unquote
    Sebenarnya isu antara kaum yang dok hangat sekarang ni bukan isu rakyat, ianya isu politik, berikut adalah petandanya :
    1) Cuba perhatikan rakyat dijalanan, perumahan, kawasan awam atau dimana saja, bila-bila saja diseluruh pelosok negara. Rakyat tak kira apa bangsa mereka, semuanya meneruskan kehidupan harian dengan harmoni
    2) Sebaliknya cuba baca media cetak, eletronik, internet, isu antara kaum hangat diperkata, cuba perhatikan siapa yang dok bising dengan isu perkauman ? mereka ialah orang politik atau pun penyokong – penyokong fanatik politik!
    Jadi apa isu sebenarnya?, ianya nampak seperti orang politik menggunakan modal perkauman untuk mempengaruhi rakyat supaya menyokong mereka (untuk terus kekal berkuasa bagi BN dan mengambil alih kuasa bagi PR)
    Pada saya, isu rakyat ialah :
    1) isu kos sara hidup yang sangat membebankan,
    2) isu ketelusan dan kualiti wakil rakyat dan kabinet,
    3) mutu perkhidmatan awam yang rata2nya rendah,
    4) isu rasuah ataupun tidak amanah dalam kerajaan.
    Semua ini sangat jelas pada rakyat. Dalam tempoh antara pilihanraya Mac lepas dan pilihan raya 5 tahun sebelumnya, rakyat telah bersuara supaya isu-isu ini ditanggani, apabila mereka gagal mendapat perubahan yang diingini dari wakil rakyat mereka , malah pada masa itu terdapat wakil rakyat yang bongkak dengan kuasa yang ada pada mereka. Oleh itu sebilangan rakyat (tanpa mengira kaum )telah menggunakan kuasa yang ada pada mereka untuk memilih apa yang janggal bagi mereka iaitu memilih pakatan pembangkang untuk menjadi wakil rakyat dalam pilihanraya Mac lepas.
    Jadi ianya tiada kena-mengena dengan rakyat sudah tidak dapat menerima parti perkauman seperti BN, PAS atau DAP.
    Apabila perubahan kuasa berlaku terlalu mendadak bagi BN dan PR, kedua-dua pakatan ini tidak dapat menyesuaikan diri!,inilah masalahnya!, BN masih cuba bergayut dengan baki kuasa yang mereka ada dan PR cuba mendapat lebih dari apa yang mereka layak.
    Dan disini semuanya bermula ! kegawatan politik yang tak kunjung surut dan orang2 politik cuba menggunakan apa saja kaedah yang mereka rasa dapat memberikan mereka kuasa yang lebih besar.
    Dalam perebutan kuasa ini mereka telah memainkan isu-isu sensitif yang bukan saja meyebabkan isu-isu asal tidak dapat ditanggani tetapi juga mengundang masalah baru iaitu kegawatan politik dan ketidaktentuan dalam hala tuju negera, malah memburukan lagi masalah sara hidup rakyat dan juga berpotensi menyebabkan ketegangan kaum. Mujurlah rakyat awam lebih rasional dari wakil rakyat mereka !!! dan berjaya mengekalkan keharmonian kaum !!!.
    Apa yang rakyat perlukan sekarang adalah pemimpin yang cekap dan cepat mengeluarkan rakyat dari kemelut yang dihadapi dan mengemudi Malaysia dalam keamanan dan makmur.
    Saya berharap wakil parti yang memerintah segera meninggalkan kesilapan mereka dan bergerak secara pasukan yang mantap untuk keluar dari kemelut demi kebaikan rakyat dan negara.
    Kepada umat Islam semua selamat berpuasa dan kepada bukan muslim, sama-sama kita menyambut hari raya.

  155. Dear Tun,
    Pak Lah masih lagi mimpi disiang hari. Hidung tak mancung pipi tersorong-sorong. Naik meluat saya. Perdana Menteri yang kredibilti pimpinannya dah jadi “itek tempang” masih lagi beria-ia hendak memegang jawatan Presiden UMNO. Tidakkah Pak Lah sedar dirinya bahawa setiap hari Pak Lah memegang jawatan Perdana Menteri negara terpaksa menanggong kerugian kerana hasil kerjanya tidak setimpal dengan jawatan yang dipegangnya. Merugikan wang rakyat !!
    Pak Lah kononnya masih mengharapkan sokongan dari konco-konconya yang dah luput (expired) tarik laku dalam parti UMNO seperti Mat Tyson, Anuar Musa, Shahidan Kassim, Tengku Adnan yang masing-masing akan tumbang jawatan mereka jika Pak Lah letak jawatan. Inilah manusia-manusia haprak dan HP6 yang menyokong Pak Lah. All of them are DEADWOOD leaders who are thinking of their own survival. They have no choice but to back the wrong horse.They have no conscience whatever happens to the party, knowing very well that the wind has change course and yet they want to be the spoilers because of their own personal vested interest.Let us see who will be the winners among them. Even if they win it will be at the expense of UMNO party which will be doomed to collaspe like Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!!Then these are the people who will be the culprit and can be accused as pengkhianat bangsa! Make no mistak about it!

    paklah; ialah..aku akan ikut cakap kau..lawan tetap lawan..peninglah kepala aku.

  157. Tun,
    Let’s put it this way… it is not about the party.. it is all about the “commander in chief” of the party that matters.. that make or break the party.
    BN is so irrelevant now because :-
    Number 1, the commander in chief is KNS (kanasai.. meaning like shit!! Sad but true)Need I say more??
    Number 2, for the longest time, UMNO has been playing with fire.. always acting, saying and thinking like they are LORDs of this land. The other races like mine, the pendatangs, are simply very fedup to be told time and time and time and time again that whatever we do for the country will not be appreciated, that we dont belong here, that we are to accept whatever crumbs that this ketuanan Melayu decides to scatter and splatter at us. Enough! And..
    The audacity of the Pendatangs representatives in BN to keep their gap shut and act like sick dogs all these times is the reason why they lost their pants off! And yes, these Pendatang representatives are told loud and clear of this and that’s why these “gap shutters” have decided to speak up before they lose their bolas off too! Nothhing to do with democracy and liberalism!!
    Number 3, BN propoganda is no longer attractive. It sold well a few decades ago because people then were more guilable, easier to pacify, their needs are more simple, have gone through tremendous hardship of war and conflicts and therefore appreciates the small tiny blessings enshrined by BN propoganda but today, people have changed!! Leaps and bounds!! Blame it on whatever you like.. education, western influence, information access at our fingertips but you cannot deny the fact that BN never moved with times. Never did want to move.. stuck there! Rooted there with their “dulu kini dan selamanya” manifesto and propoganda.
    Yah, the Opposition may not know how they are going to make their promises work. Opposition may not be able to achieve all their promises and perhaps Opposition may even pull a fast one on all of us.. but hey! what have we got to lose for trying Opposition out? Afterall, we are already abused, bullied, battered, raped and cheated by BN to oblivion. How bad can Opposition be? You tell me. Nope, I am not a die hard fan of the Opposition but I am willing to give them a chance.
    Of course, I am ever willing to ditch the Opposition if BN rejuvenate itself with a “today” manifesto/propoganda, change its commander in chief to someone like you or you.. Perhaps then, I will not “throw the baby out with the bath water”.

  158. A holy man was having a conversation with God one day and said, ‘ God , I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.’ God led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man’s mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles, that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. God said, ‘You have seen Hell.’ They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man’s mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, ‘I don’t understand.’ It is simple,’ said God . ‘It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed each other, while the greedy think only of themselves.’
    Guess this message should be shared with all political parties in Malaysia yaa ?

  159. Salam Ayahanda Tun,
    Saya menyokong penuh tulisan Tun kali ini. keadaan negara semakin teruk. Dalam diam-diam suasana ketegangan kaum semakin terasa. Soal perpaduan semakin di pandang remeh. Bangsa melayu telah semakin retak menanti belah, bangsa lain semakin mengambil kesempatan atas apa yang ada.
    Dato’ Seri Najib hadapi saat sukat di Kementerian Kewangan, cabaran n tugasan besar menanti beliau. Saya harap sangat beliau dapat buat yang terbaik untuk kembalikan pe yang telah kita capai, malah yang lebih baik lagi. Kepimpinan Abdullah mmemang hancur, saya tidak suka untuk membelakangi pemimpin, tetapi cara dan corak kepimpinan Abdullah semakin teruk.
    Tun, lakukanlah sesuatu sebelum tiba masa dimana pemimpin kita dipandang lebih hina di mata rakyat. Bangsa kita bansa yang tinggi. Perjuangan kita belum penah selesai.
    Wasalam

    Pesanan buat Pak Lah,
    JIKA KAU FIKIRKAN KAU BOLEH…
    KAU HAMPIRI KEJAYAAN….EH IYER KER….
    JIKA KAU FIKIRKAN KESENANGAN….
    KAU HAMPIRI KEKAYAAN….
    JIKA KAU FIKIRKAN KEJAYAAN…
    SUATU HARI KAU HAMPIRI KEGAGALAN…..
    tak reti – reti lagi nampaknya…
    Yb. Datuk Mukhriz,
    Saya akan sokong Datuk sepenuh-penuhnya agar dapat jadi MT UMNO @ Ketua Pemuda UMNO n lastly…of coz…The Prime Minister of Malaysia..one day…Insya Allah…itu doa saya dan keluarga…Amin…(saya dah ingat..Parlimen Jerlun)
    Wassalam….

  161. TUN,
    As you can see you may try to argue that UMNO is the supreme leader of Malaysia and they do everything within their mean to protect their leadership. The opposition may not come out with its shadow cabinet yet, by the things going on now, Would it ever occur to you that giving the 50 in power, we are still in the loop with corruption & arrogance? For the sake of Malaysian, a shift of power will be a learning lesson for BN and UMNO to be modest and come into term with what the public wish for? If UMNO can proof themselves to be the supreme ruler of this country, they can always win the PUBLIC heart on the next general election. AS chinese would say “Failure is the key to all Success”.
    Regards
    Overseas observer.

  162. Salam Ayahanda Tun. It may borders on wasting time, but I humbly again seek you kind latitude for this communiqué.
    I quote Dr. Syed Alwi: “From my vantage point in Singapore, I think the BN must be sensitive to these changes in perceptions, aspirations, values etc. Rapid industrialisation leads to many social changes. The BN cannot use a one-size-fits-all formula. I say it again – while racialism has benefitted the Bumiputeras – I don’t think the Non-Muslims are happy with it as they tend to lose out by the practice of racialism.”- End of quote.
    I fail to see your vantage point Dr. Syed Alwi. But perhaps your definition of “racialism” based politics may just as well reflect on to you at your “vantage” point. Dr. Syed Alwi, sometimes a pot belly may miss seeing his toes all together. That’s normal and acceptable for some vantage point views. I say it again just as well, while racialism has benefited the Singapore non-Malays – I don’t think the real Malays (not the Malays by professions) are happy with it as they tend to lose out by the practice of racialism as experienced in Singapore by the predominantly Chinese run government.

    I hope you may find the time to click that link and read. Some of your points are indeed relevant while some others seem a bit off mark. Finally – all readers can accept frank and honest credible feedback and we have always welcomed it. The truth as they say; may hurt – but it still remains the truth. And one must be prepared to like freely without hesitation what one hears when one chose to speak ones mind freely and without hesitation. Salam Ramadhan and thank you.

    Akta Kaum.
    Kita dihebahkan bahawa akan wujudnya akta kaum di negara kita. Saya tidak jelas melihat kebaikan atau keburukan akta ini. Masih kabur-kabur lagi untuk dikaji dan diteliti. Untuk penjelasan semua, saya rasa sudah tentu cadangan ini telah dikhabarkan kepada Tun. Boleh Tun memberi serba sedikit tentang akta ini dan apakah impaknya kepada Negara kita dan bangsa kita terutama masyarakat Bumiputera.
    Terima Kasih.

  164. DEAR TUN,
    MEMANG KITA SEPATUTNYA BERTOLERANSI SESAMA KAUM….TAPI SAYA SEBAGAI ORG MELAYU BERHAK RASA MARAH CARA PERLAKUAN MEREKA…MCA, GERAKAN & MIC SEPATUTNYA PROTES KELEMAHAN KEPIMPINAN SEKARANG.. TAPI MEREKA LEBIH SUKA MEMAINKAN ISU-ISU SENSITIF DAN PULAK TU SENADA DENGAN DAP DAN ADIK ANGKATNYA ANWAR IBRAHIM….MELIHAT KELETAH INI MEMANG MENYAKITKAN HATI, PAS TU MAIN UGUT-UGUT PULAK…AS FOR ME PREFER TO SAY ‘U BETTER KNOW WELL OF WHAT U R DOIN’

  165. Salam tun,
    Dalam surat khabar hari ni, DS Najib kata Malaysia tak gune kan pendekatan tambat ringgit kepada US Dollar. Begitu juga dgn komen dari Gabenor BNM. Boleh tak tun jelaskan tentang isu ini?

  166. Dear Tun, rakyat bukan nyer xsuka BN or umno…. i think u know better than me… dulu kalu gaji 2 ribu lebih dah boleh pakai kete besar umah besar, isteri besar, tapi kini makan pun xcukup…. pemerintah malaysia mesti umno…. dah terlalu banyak jasa umno pada orang melayu.. kini sudah len …. masa pilihan raya ramai orang melayu xkluar mengundi sebab kecewa dengan pemimpin bukan dengan parti…..

    Dear Salim, I’m right behind you and do hope that Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is not going to be our Prime Minister ..ever…for ever….Amin….I really hate him.. I know him well bcause my uncle once to be his lawyer since 97-98…until now …perhaps…he is really a culprit…because of him and his stupid idea..my family and uncle’s relationship has gone just like that…..

    Wassalam…
    Maaf zahir batin buat Tun sekeluarga n blogger / chedet fans….

  168. Assalamualaikum YABhg Tun.
    Terima kasih dan tahniah di atas analisa YABhg Tun mengenai kepentingan pelbagai parti politik mendokong konsep permuafakatan untuk kestabilan sosio-ekonomi Malaysia.
    Memang benar bahawa sekarang ini semua parti-parti politik ingin menonjolkan diri sebagai pejuang kaum masing-masing. Samada parti konponen BN maupun parti pembangkang. Malahan tidak terkecuali dengan blogger berbangsa Cina yang lantang mengkritik YABhg Tun kononnya atas dasar persamaan hak, demokrasi, keadilan dan pelbagai alasan yang retorik.
    Dengan memperbesarkan isu perkauman sudah pasti masing-masing parti akan dapat sokongan daripada ekstrimist bangsa. Tetapi pada masa yang sama jurang persefahaman diantara kaum akan meningkat, ketegangan antara kaum mudah tercetus walaupun dengan isu yang kecil. Ketidakstabilan politik tidak memungkinkan pelaburan baru. Ini menyebabkan KDNK jatuh dan pendapatan merosot.
    Jika digabungan keadaan ekonomi semasa sekarang dimana kadar harga barangan berada diparas yang tinggi bersama dengan kejatuhan KDNK kerana tiada pelaburan baru yang dapat menyerap penawaran tenaga kerja akan menjuruskan ekonomi kedalam kancah stagflasi.
    Oleh itu kita perlu bertindak bijak dalam mengurus persoalan politik. Kepentingan negara lebih penting dari sikap mengagung-agungkan seorang pemimpin yang tidak cekap.
    Semoga YABhg Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah.

  169. Dear Tun and fellow commentators:
    Selamat berpuasa and selamat Hari Raya. The only thing that will brings joy to Malaysia at the moment I presume.
    While so many of you are dissatisfied with BN and Umno, many more are calling the leader to step down. But the writing is not just on the wall. Evryday when you see his picture on the newspaper or from the news, it is crystal clear that he is not and will not step down. Period.
    Those who think that he will hand over before 9th October or before December general meeting can dream on for what is worth. (Take lead from the son in law contest for the top post)
    Our country political scenario is so, so superficial and artificial. How many of them are really doing it for the love of the country and the people? While kudos to the minister who resigned for his stand for opposing ISA. The rest are just too pround and arrogant to admid that the current administration is at the worst stage which translates into their incompetence in holding the position.
    Forget about PR will take over the government, we will comment about them after they take over. Otherwise they are just opposition doing what opposition suppose to do. Oppose!
    Are the present leader or the so called successor capable of resuscitating the flagging economy? the deminished independence of the judiciary system and the police force? Its a hugh task and I think requires someone of the calibre of Tun and you can take that to the bank!
    I always thought that we can not be so negative or the negative will keep coming back for more. Lets just hope the holy Bulan Ramadan will bring good luck for Malaysia and the turn of events will favour we common citizen and most importantly get rid of the bad things or persons so to speak.
    Good health to Tun and family

  170. Assalamualaikum
    Tun dikenali sebagai bapak kemodenan Malaysia. Membawa pembaharuan yang dulunya tidak pernah dibayangkan oleh orang-orang seusia Tun.Saya masih ingat bagaimana projek-projek Tun dikritik dan dibualkan di kalangan orang-orang terpelajar dikedai-kedai kopi mahupun dikampung-kampung kononnya projek-projek yang dirancang oleh tun contohnya KLIA yang kini menjadi mercu kebanggaan rakyat Malaysia adalah projek yang tak masuk akal, membazir duit rakyat dan tah apa-apa lagi komen tapi sekarang orang tabik spring dan kerana semua projek tersebut masuk duit dan mengharumkan nama negara diperingkat antarabangsa. Ini kerana Tun mempunyai pemikiran yang luar biasa hebat, pemikiran yang mengjangkaui jauh kehadapan.Kredibiliti Tun dalam memimpin negara adalah sukar dicari galang ganti.Saya mengkagumi pemikiran Tun tetapi saya sedikit terkilan kerana keputusan Tun melantik pengganti Tun adalah orang yang tidak sehebat Tun dan saya seakan tidak percaya Tun boleh mengambil Paklah sebagai pengganti Tun. Apakah sebenarnya yang terselit disebalik pelantikkan tersebut sehingga tun mengambil orang yang tidak bijak mentadbir negara sehingga kesannya begitu teruk kepada negara. Negara semakin kucar kacir dari segi politik.Mengapa Tun?Apapun saya adalah orang yang mengkagumi Tun sebagai pemimpin yang hebat.

  171. salam… tun n family.. sy membesar pd zmn tun. sy tau khebatn n kebijaksanaan tun.. kawan or lawan akui.. apakah umno tidak relevan skrg?

  172. salam,
    the party still relevent, the leader not.
    Now I really can’t see there will be a power transition inside UMNO. and the power transition inside MCA would be a gruesome.
    Will Malaysia stand?
    -boon-

  173. Dear Tun,
    I am totally agree with you.
    What I would say is; players in the field may not see what is happening because they couldn’t see the whole thing. Only manager out side the field will see what is going on and give the right direction and order. If the player in the field refuse to accept their mistake and find out the blind spot, no one can help them.

  174. ASSALAMUALAIKUM TUN N SEMUA @ CHEDET.
    SAYA AMAT X SETUJU DGN SESIAPA YG MENYALAHKAN TUN KERANA MELANTIK AAB DISEBALIK KEGAGALAN AAB MENTADBIR NEGARA. ITU SEMUA ADALAH HANYA FIKIRAN ORANG YG CETEK AKALNYA.
    BILA AAB GAGAL – TUN YG BERSALAH SBB MELANTIK DIA.. SEBALIKNYA BILA TUN BERJAYA DGN CEMERLANG MENTADBIR NEGARA, ADAKAH KEJAYAAN ITU MILIK TUN HUSSEIN ONN KERANA MELANTIK TDM?
    SAYA SGT PERCAYA BAHAWA SETIAP ORANG BERTANGGUNGJAWAB SEPENUHNYA ATAS SETIAP TINDAKAN YG DILAKUKANNYA. INGAT..APABILA ANDA MENUDING SATU JARI KE ARAH ORANG LAIN, JARI YG EMPAT LAGI TU AKAN MENUDING KE ARAH DIRI ANDA SENDIRI!!

    Tidak mengapa tak bersetuju dengan pandangan Tun tetapi cara tulisan saudara nampak macam saudara datang dari tempat sampah yang penuh dengan idea sampah,dendam kesumat,hasat dengki dan teruskan duduk di tempat sampah. Berkawan dengan orang jual bunga badan kita bau wangi tapi berkawan dengan orang disekeliling sampah badan berbau sampah.
    maaf Tun.

  176. Salam Tun,
    I have to say that comments by S..Tan on September 23,2008 12:46 AM have some truth in them. We have to admit that. Malays that are nobody in the society get involved in politics only to get rich (thru contracts, all type of permits and licences etc). They do not have to look afar for example. Top Malay politican (ex teacher and ex MB) have houses in Australia and was caught carrying tonne of money couples of years ago. They get into politics only to serve themselves. They don’t care s@%t about us. They use DEB and Hak Keistimewaan Orang Melayu to meet their own end. Then they spend part of the fortune to gather followers arounds them. Present Malaysia is not so different from 250 years ago, maybe now we have Twin Towers, but we still live in a feudal system where warlords still dictate who will become who in the government.

  177. Dear Tun,
    As a Multi-racial country, Malaysian has vase advantages but sad to say, our politicians were not able to see and valued such gift. Just imagine a well trained multi linguist with multi understanding of various religions’ and races’ culture can do for a Malaysian in today’s globalized world with frontier! High demand that can result in high capital income for our Malaysian.
    But we are being destroyed by the short sighted, selfish and self interested politician who are event bothered if the Rakyat are suffering from the inefficient policies set by them.
    Pls follow the look east policy…..where the PM honorably step down when they are not capable or have done something wrong.

  178. I READ WITH SAKIT HATI THIS MORNING WHEN NAJIB ATLANTUYA ANNOUNCED THAT GOVERMNENT WILL NOT REPEG RINGGIT BCOZ OF BLA BLA BLA…
    How many hours do they discussued and analyse then making a conclusion not to repeg ringgit.
    THis NAJIB, you have been a silver spoon feed since you were born and never a day you ever think about short of money..we common people has gone through the hard time during the SOROS days..not even have money to pay my car loan and some of my friends rumah pun kena lelong..
    NAJIB : You have not shared our worried as much as our Dearest TUN knows the rakyat feelings…you too will be out in the next general election!!!

  179. Tun,
    Tumpang lalu:
    DR SYED ALWI AHMAD, “Finally – some readers here cannot accept frank and honest feedback. Too bad. The truth may hurt – but it still remains the truth……I speak my mind freely and without hesitation.”
    1. Congratulations! You have now upgraded yourself to that of being “the Judge, the Jury, and the Prosecutor!”
    2. Who needs your “frank and honest feedback” anyway? Just because YOU ARE A SINGAPOREAN, AND HAVE THAT ‘DR’ BEFORE YOUR NAME, AUTHORIZED AND MADE YOU SO RIGHTEOUS?
    3. Perhaps, maybe because nobody listens to you in your godly Singapore that you would want to preach us WITH YOUR VALUES & VIRTUES, WHICH TO YOU IS AN ALL ENCOMPASSING TRUTH AND ACCURATE?!
    4. If you are a Muslim, which I am sure you are, as “identified” by your name, in all your postings thus far, you SOUNDED VERY ARROGANT AND ALOOF, which virtues were both against the teachings of Islam!
    5. Like I said in my previous respond to you, you are welcome here BUT please OBSERVE SOME COURTESIES!
    6. You DO NOT HAVE TO HAVE the insignia of ‘Dr’ to know that WHEN YOU VISIT SOMEONE’S ELSES HOME, YOU DO NOT BE RUDE TO YOUR HOST LEST YOU BE JUDGED AS KURANG AJAR!
    7. UNLESS IN YOUR ULTRA MODERN SINGAPORE, YOU ALLOW THIS CULTURE, WHICH AFTER ALL ONLY BEFITS YOUR SINGAPOREAN IDENTITY TO THAT OF ‘THE KIASU COMMUNITY!’
    8. Again, I would like to reiterate that YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, AS ALWAYS, BUT PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS AND OPINIONS TO YOURSELF LEST YOU ARE MEMANG KURANG AJAR!

  181. Tun,
    could you please suggest any action to be taken if Pak Lah step down to unsure the country back to normal situation. i.e excellent in economic and social relationship.
    Regards.

  182. Akum, Dr M
    First and foremost, selamat menjalani ibadat berpuasa di bulan yang mubarak ini. Tidak lama lagi kita, umat islam akan menyambut hari raya aidilfitri dan saya mengambil kesempatan di sini untuk mengucapkan ‘Selamat Hari Raya’ kepada Dr.M dan keluarga.
    Regarding the problems that Malaysia is facing and will face, let the current leaders solve them, as they are their responsibilities. If they are smart, they will ask for your advice and guidence; as you had went thru basically the same problems before. If they are too proud to ask, than, may GOD help us all!
    Regards to Tun Dr Siti Hasmah and the family. Do take care and have a nice day.

  183. Dear Sir,
    I enjoy reading your articles which are simple and succint, and so are capable of reaching many people. Had you been to a law school instead of a medical school, perhaps you could have been a better PM.
    However, most of your articles have only one message- kick AAB out. What is your justification? Is it because of his preformance in the election or your personal aversion towards him? Why can’t you spare him now? After all he is going to step down soon.

  184. All this while, we dare not talk or even discuss sensitive issues in public let alone put it in writing. Since Malaysian are all mature and the younger generation dont give a damp about what is happening in the country, it is up to the older generation and hardcore politician like yourself to make things rite.
    I dont feel any lost when one day UMNO were to phase out of the political scene.
    You should know better the strength of UMNO/BN and the strength of Anwar Ibrahim, since both are under your guidance when you were once the premier. When we see Anwar Ibrahim in action now, people will say ‘look at the product of Che Det’. He might not be as good as you but he is going there, insyallah, and he has his own way of doing thing too.

  185. ASSALAMUALAIKUM
    Yang di hormati lagi di sayangi Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda Siti Hasmah
    Selamat Berpuasa.
    Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun,The BN is still relevant.
    22. As the Malays say “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.”
    Saya percaya bukan hanya setitik ‘nila’ yang ada tapi banyak.
    Bagaimana kalau selepas ini semua ‘nila’ yang ada itu di buang jauh2 sebelum ianya termasuk kedalam susu.
    Kepada YB Tressa, kalau selepas ini kamu betul2 dapat makanan anjing baru padan dengan muka kamu.Awas mulut kamu!Jangan pandai2 nak cari publisiti murahan.
    Semoga Tun sihat sentiasa di samping keluarga tercinta…Saya sentiasa sokong Tun…

  186. Salam Ayahanda Tun and a very good morning.
    The best place to sort out all this is at the incoming UMNO meeting in December. When the top management has failed, perhaps its best to let the small folks with their big stakes speaks their mind and cast their votes. I have always learned that to be the real turning point to truth. BN must make some modifications; there is absolutely no doubting that point. UMNO too must undergo one very serious overhaul. AAB & Sekutu has got to go pronto and Najib must read all the writings on the walls. BN is a tried and tested platform for this country; it works and we have to keep it working. And in a gradual but firm pace, I also believe that all Malaysians should be Bumiputra. In this concept, we can still be who we are and yet see ahead together as one team. NEP should stay and be further reinforced. The new BN must somehow accommodate all this factors into its operational concepts and implementations. What the country need at all times is a very strong economic foundation. A very strong base for an even bigger and better NEP cakes for all. We could make Wawasan 2020 real in these shoes. The Malays must not worry too much about opening up a bit more to just share a bit more. Sometimes, in the giving and taking we can see our better selves. Under our existing Perlembagaan and Panji Raja-Raja Melayu we have a very strong platform to move ahead in this direction. But without a strong credible government to keep these focuses in check, all our hopes and dreams would flounder to oblivion. What the present is showing us is just that, without a strong credible leadership, even for just one brief second – we are already hundreds of miles off course. The winds and tides are just simply too strong. UMNO must take stock, learn, stand up, implement and move on. Tun, the little guys usually carries the big stick nowadays and they are waking up to it fuming mad. So don’t worry too much. Please look after your health for all of us. -Kamal

  187. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Selamat Berpuasa dan Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya buat Tun dan seisi keluarga.
    Saya baru je terjebak di dalam arena blog Tun ni,yang saya nampak blogger’s comments dalam arena ni cukup padu dan memberangsangkan khasnya untuk golongan muda spt saya ni.
    Cuma saya ingin nyatakan di sini keadaan dalam negara kita secara peribadi amatlah membimbangkan, dan jika tidak diubati dengan segera saya berpendapat kita semua rakyat Malaysia akan melalui tahun baru 2009 dengan satu pengalaman ngeri yang tidak pernah dialami sebelum ini oleh rakyat.
    Golongan saya ini boleh dikatakan generasi yang baru matang dalam arena profesion, golongan yang baru hendak memulakan perniagaan, tetapi dapat dikatakan golongan yang paling tersepit disebabkan keadaan kucar-kacir dalam negara kini.
    Taraf yang kehidupan yang tinggi, berbanding dengan gaji semasa yang tidak mencukupi amatlah membebankan walaupun mempunyai kelulusan yang baik.Saya rasa ramai yang bersetuju sekarang bergaji RM 2200 sebulan sekarang boleh dikategorikan miskin. Apapun saya berharap Tun dapat terus memberi idea2 Tun kepada rakyat Malaysia untuk bebaskan diri dari KEPOMPONG PIMPINAN SEKARANG. Insya ALLAH

  188. Salam Tun
    Pak Lah is obstinate.He got nothing to lose by burying UMNO & BN with himself.Afterall, he is a gone case.Najib,Muhyiddin & others will lose.Malays,Chinese,Indians etc will not lose. Malaysia will prevail even if the opposition wins.It can come either from evolution of UMNO/BN or tranefer of power to the opposition.It’s time for change !

  189. Dear Tun,
    MIC should stop calling for release of Hindrafs in ISA. Even if they now want to show that indians are united. They are malaysians. They must acknowledge that Malaysian Indians and most malaysians do not condone Hindraf’s manifesto. That manifesto was malicious and insensitive to the unity of this country.
    UMNO should not allow Ahmad Ismail to go on road shows to explain what he said to other UMNO parties. UMNO must put a stop to this. We need to move away from the topic. By allowing him to do what he wants eventhough he is suspended reflects severe lack of monitoring of UMNO members by its leaders. It will perpetuate hate towards UMNO.
    MCA and GERAKAN must do more to show that Malaysian Chinese are giving back to Malaysia not just to Malaysian Chinese.
    Each party can take care of its race but must be able to contribute as Malaysians for Malaysia. Eg: If we have money, we should donate to programmes which promote well being of Malaysians in the future; Not to programmes that just “tolong orang kita sahaja” or Not with thoughts like “what do the chinese or indians will get out of this”

  191. Tun DR M,
    I am sad when I read an Asussie News saying that our taxi is the worst in the world. This has never ever happen when you were our wonderful PM. I am really ashame of what is happening now under the so call PM(Pass Motion). Unlike you, you are braineier and can see well into the distance future. I was once told by one old man while I was doing my uni in UK. He told me if you cannot see five years ahead of what the market or the world is then you are not the boss of either an organisation nor a corporate nor a nation. What he told me I listen enthusiatically for my mind wander back to you. You are our great and big boss who make and made all Malaysian all over the world proud off but atlast now we feel ashame to tell anybody who we are.
    When you pick the Pak Lah to be the next PM after you step down in 2003, I can feel and sense that Malaysian in fall sky roketing into a doldrum which make and made Malaysian become pariah. I feel sad at that time and I keep on telling myself why, why my belovevered Dato /seri M do that. I did not understand at that time. After reading allyour blog daily and weekly now I understand more about you. I know that wacky Bush does not like you for when you comapre 1 to 100 youre 100 and he is only in the 20’s. That is why he tainted you and all the fools listen to him including those who force you to step down whether in Malaysia or anywhere. But he forget his Abraham Lincoln’ saying. You can fools some people all the time but you cann fools most people all the time.
    Good health and luck to you, your supporting wive and your family. May you the Dr M’s force come back and make all the Malaysian proud of their country again. May the force be with you Dr M.

  192. kemundurn dan kjatuhn ssbuah ngra dan bangsa adalh krn lupa sjarah, tdak ambil iktibar dr sjarah. brapa byk sblm ini sjarah mnunjukkn kpimpinan yg lemah, korup, bongkak dan zalim telah memporak perandakn negara dan perpaduan rakyat serta bangsa yg akhirnya melemahkn ngara dan dikuasai oleh pjajah serta bgsa asing yg lebih kuat, kaya dan bersatu.
    hanya dgn kbijaksanaan sja dpt meneguhkn kdudukan sesebuah bangsa yg kecil (Melayu/bumiputera) (india & cina Malaysia adalah sbhgian dr bgsa India dan China dr tanah besar Asia yg mpunyai tamadun yg tggi sjak berkurun dahulu lagi) dan negara yg masih membangun. kbijaksanaan itu perlu ada pd seorg pemimpin no.1 ngara (PM) dan kbijaksanaan itu perlu dikongsi brsama dgn pemimpin2 bwhnnya serta pemimpin2 shbtnya (komponen BN).
    drpd sjarah juga kita akn dpt melihat jatuh bgn ssbuah bgsa dan negara adalah akibat drpd kepimpinannya. Jika pemimpinnya baik dan mempunyai kualiti serta thp ksedarn yg tggi maka majulah bgsa dan ngara itu. Jk sbaliknya, punahlah bgsa dan ngara itu sdikit demi sdikit. Tetapi jika kita pelajari sejarah awal Islam, penglibatan rakyat awam dlm menentukn siapa yg layak jd pemimpin akn menyelamatkn ngara dan bgsa dr dipimpin oleh pemimpin yg lemah, tamak dan zalim. Begitu juga dlm sjarah awal Amerika, keterlibatn rakyat dlm politik scara aktif melalui proses demokrasi telah bjaya membentuk dan menyatupadukkan 52 wilayah Amerika Syarikat.
    walau bagaimanapun, dlm sjarah juga kita dpt perhatikn ada di antara pemimpin yg telah dipilih akhirnya mjd pembelot dan pgkhianat kpd kepercayaan rakyat dan pemimpin sblmnya. pemimpin yg diharap dpt mtadbir dan memimpin dgn lebih bijaksana tidak berupaya memikul amanah dan tggungjwb sbaliknya menyalahguna kuasa dan menyeleweng serta lemah dlm memimpin. apabila didesak letak jwtn oleh majorti rakyat, dgn alasan masih disokong oleh puak2 dlm kumpulnnya yg hnya sebilangn kcil sj dr kseluruhn rakyat negara ini utk trus jd ketua memimpin seramai 26 juta. suara siapa perlu di dgr? suara yg seramai 2 juta atau suara 24 juta?
    Bkn MELAYU saja yg MUDAH LUPA tp kbykn MANUSIA itu memang mudah lupa. Krn itu diperturunkn QURAN kpd manusia spya mereka mdpt ilmu dan iktibar dr pengajarnnya yg telah pun berlaku spjg sejarah manusia dr zaman sblm ilmu itu ditulis dan direkodkn oleh manusia shgga ke zaman internet skrg. seharusnya subjek SEJARAH perlu sebaris dgn subjek SAINS dan MATEMATIK krn ia akn menyelamatkn bgsa dan negara dr dijajah dan dikuasai bgsa asing yg lebih maju ilmunya dan sejarah ketamadunannya. SEJARAH mampu mbina tamadun bgsa dan negara yg lebih cemerlang. knapa pula ia dipinggirkn atau hnya jd subjek utk hafalan dan bkn pula sbgai subjek yg prlu difikir dan dicari jln penyelesaiannya jka bhadapn dgn sejarah itu skali lagi jka ianya berulang. kita bkn robot utk mghafal, kita adalah manusia utk berfikr apa yg baik utk kita dan masa depan.
    Diharap TUN siarkn penuh post saya ini spya kta masing2 mdpt nasihat dan ianya sampai kpd pihak yg berkuasa dan memegang tampuk kekuasaan utk menilai smula sistem pdidikn negara yg kurang bkesan mdidik rakyat utk bfikir scara rasional dan kritis.

  193. Sedar atau tidak, Teresa, Ahli Parlimen Seputeh sedang mengalihkan pandangan rakyat dari membincangkan sebab kenapa beliau ditahan di bawah ISA dengan mempertikaikan makanan yang diberi kepadanya semasa ditahan. Ini mungkin untuk meraih simpati rakyat.
    Kami tetap tidak akan lupa dan kami tetap tidak boleh terima isu yang dibangkitkan oleh beliau. Kami menyokong tindakan tahanan yang dibuat ke atasnya.

  194. tun,
    we have 2 choices revamp BN dissolve UMNO ,MCA ,GERAKAN ,MIC and other component party remodel BN like PAP Singapore . Parliamentry area also remodel to Group representation like Singapore system OR BN badly need a very strong leader ( of course with wisdom) to discipline every component member and to apply Sun Tzu art war decisiveness . for UMNO more on structural problem the selection of leadership not necessarily base on merit but more on popularity just like MTV or Vchannel.

  195. Tun,
    saya ingatkan diri saya sendiri dan tuan2
    surah al mulk
    Maka adakah orang yang berjalan (melalui jalan yang tidak betul, yang menyebabkan dia selalu jatuh) tersungkur di atas mukanya: boleh mendapat hidayah – atau orang yang berjalan tegak betul, melalui jalan yang lurus rata?
    [23]
    Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): “Allah yang menciptakan kamu (dari tiada kepada ada), dan mengadakan bagi kamu pendengaran dan penglihatan serta hati (untuk kamu bersyukur, tetapi) amatlah sedikit kamu bersyukur”.
    [24]
    Katakanlah lagi: “Dia lah yang mengembangkan kamu di bumi, dan kepadaNyalah kamu akan dihimpunkan”.

  196. Dear Tun
    This is the time to see how strong and sincere the component parties of BN are. If the leadership is strong, BN will not be in such disarray.
    In times of such turmoil, it is the leaders of all component parties led by the leader of BN who should be coming together to figure out where have they gone wrong and where is the disconnect between them and the grassroots.
    To abandon ship is no different than being a coward. It’s just like a marriage…you stick together through good and bad times. You support each other no matter how difficult the challenges are.
    Tun, you are right! If the leader is incapable of leading the group, then the leader should take heed and not risk the future of the country any longer.
    What does it take for the leader to acknowledge that the March election result is a failure of the single most important KPI of the government i.e to gain support from the masses? Take responsibility for the failure and the buck should stop with the leader of BN and the leaders of all component parties!

  197. Many wanted Tun Mahathir to come back to UMNO and become the PM and thus save Malaysia to save the world.
    Unfortunately that is not the way things work in UMNO. It has always been UMNO President who becomes the country’s PM. If Tun ever joins UMNO again, he will have to climb up the UMNO ladder once again. Under the current system, it will take years before Tun could hold the post of UMNO President again. By then Tun will be too old to become an effective PM.
    51 years after independence, we still stick to this old-fashioned constitution. Many things we adopted from other countries, but others have moved on long time ago, and yet we still use the 51 year old methodology. We should be able to have anyone who is brilliant enough from the party to offer himself or herself to be the leader of the party and thus becoming the PM. This President thing, where nomination has to start from the branch level is too cumbersome and out of date and making the weeding off of an ineffective PM, such as the one we face today, almost next to impossible. Other ministers in other modern countries will resign at the slightest mistake they made. Over here, even the resignation of Tun Mahathir, from UMNO, has not changed anything in UMNO. The party has been around for too long and being sucked by the horrendous bureaucracy. If I were Tun Mahathir, during the 22 years I were the PM and President of UMNO, I would have overhauled the system to make the party modern and progressive, the like of Twin Towers and KLIA.
    What Tun wrote in this blog is extremely valuable and one that can be expected from the former CEO who run the country for 22 years. I doubt of the present PM has ever read Tun’s posting for there are lots of things he could learn from Tun’s perspective. We are afraid, he would not dare to read, for fear he might fall asleep while reading. Even worst, he might need dictionaries to understand some of the words used by Tun. And yet he will continue to become the PM. Only the wake up call could change things. Any ideas of how to do this in the quickest manner? Hopefully Tun will write something on this …

  198. Dear Tun,
    To those who think that PAS treats the Chinese well in K’tan, It’s just because you are not seen as a threat over here..if you are perceived as such…god knows what will happen. How much do you think a house costs over here for the other races ? Nearly Klang Valley’s rate you know? The simple reason being you need state exco’s approval to convert the otherwise bumi land in the grant.
    Try to hold a demonstration over here on that matter and see what will happen.
    I can’t imagine if HINDRAF held a rally over here instead of KL on the purported discrimination by the Malay Muslims…I think all hell will break loose….
    Why Tok Guru & Gang support RPK and the likes? It’s because they are too lazy to read what is in Malaysia today. Read from the start what RPK & gang wrote about Islam & our prophet and you will know what I mean. He said that he is condemning Muslims and not Islam but he himself disputes the validity of the messages relayed by the prophet and the Sahabah. Don’t condemn me….take time to read (If the articles haven’t been deleted yet).
    One more observation, last year in Kubang Kerian a church put up a signage in one of the newly constructed shophouse opposite HUSM…after a few months it was taken down.My father in law said that it was due to the pressure from the community….don’t really know truth but do you seriously think everything will be rosy once PKR is in control?
    It may be difficult to understand and accept TDM’s thinking since everybody claims that we are in a new age where everybody is more tolerant, undertanding bla bla bla…when you still find that race/religion fights still exist around the world. Even people of the same religion will find excuses to fight due to geoplitical reasons.
    After 300 plus years of independence, Americans still talks about Obama being a black and still you see some of the whites having problems to accept him as a leader.If race is not an issue why do they need to bring the matter up again and again. We are very young nation and our rakyat has more diverse background be it racially or religion wise so the BN way where every race takes care of it’s own and the leaders work out any problems between them is still relevant. We just need to kick out those who seek personal wealth, fame and glory even if it means almost all of the current leaders.
    Just my two cents…
    Selamat Hari Raya Tun berdua, maaf zahir & batin.

    Interviewed by the Oral History Department in 1989, Dr. Toh Chin Chye said it was appropriate for the national anthem to be in Malay, “the indigenous language of the region, as English is not native to this part of the world.” He felt that the “Malay version of the national anthem would appeal to all races… it can be easily understood. And at the same time [it] can be easily remembered… [I]t must be brief, to the point; … and can be sung”.[30] However, on 22 July 1991, the English daily newspaper The Straits Times reported that during a meeting between the then Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong and community leaders,[31] a group of grassroots leaders and a lawyer had suggested that “adjustments” should be made to the national anthem. The given reason was that many Singaporeans could not sing it in Malay and therefore did not have “strong feelings” or “strong emotions when they sing the national anthem”.[32] In particular, some grassroots leaders argued that since the Chinese constitute a majority of the population, a Mandarin version of the anthem should be used.[32] The Prime Minister’s response was that he would keep the national anthem as it was while ensuring that translations in other mother tongues were more easily available.[31] The proposal to change the lyrics was also criticized by former Deputy Prime Minister S. Rajaratnam, who felt that the Malay lyrics of the anthem were so simple that “anyone over the age of five, unless mentally retarded, had no difficulty singing the anthem. All Singaporean children of kindergarten age have not only had no difficulty memorising the words but have for decades sung it every morning with ‘strong feelings and emotion’.” He also noted that the anthem had been translated into Singapore’s three other official languages (English, Mandarin and Tamil) for those who cannot understand Malay.[32]
    A subsequent poll by The Straits Times found that while many Singaporeans knew what the anthem generally meant, only seven out of 35 persons interviewed knew the meaning of each word. However, all but three of those interviewed agreed that the anthem should continue to be sung in Malay. The three persons who disagreed felt that the anthem should be in English because that was the language most commonly used in Singapore. All the interviewees, including those who did not know the meaning of the lyrics, said they felt a sense of pride when they heard or sang the national anthem.[31]
    Guidelines for use
    The use of the national anthem is governed by Part IV of the Singapore Arms and Flag and National Anthem Rules[19] made under the Singapore Arms and Flag and National Anthem Act.[20] These rules provide as follows:
    * The national anthem may be performed or sung on any appropriate occasion.[21] In particular, it must be performed when the President receives a general salute.[22]
    * When the national anthem is performed or sung, every person present must stand up as a mark of respect.[23]
    * As regards musical arrangements of the national anthem:
    o Any person performing or singing the national anthem must do so according to the official arrangement set out in the Third Schedule to the Act or any other arrangement permitted under the next paragraph of the Act.[24]
    o The national anthem may be rearranged in any manner that is in keeping with the dignity due to it, subject to the following conditions:
    (a) the national anthem must not be incorporated into any other composition or medley; and
    (b) every arrangement of the national anthem must accurately reflect the complete tune and the complete official lyrics of the National Anthem.[25]
    o Any person who sings the national anthem must follow the official lyrics and must not sing any translation of those lyrics.[26]
    It is an offence for any person to knowingly perform or sing the national anthem in contravention of rule 13(1) (not performing or singing the anthem according to the official arrangement or any other permitted arrangement) or 13(3) (not singing the anthem according to the official lyrics or singing a translation of the lyrics); the penalty is a fine not exceeding S$1,000.[27]
    In addition, guidelines issued by the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA) state that either instrumental or vocal versions of the national anthem may be performed, and that dignity and decorum should be observed whenever the anthem is played or sung.[9]

  201. Assalamualaikum wr wb,
    Dear Tun Mahathir & Other BN Supporters,
    I think that you people have seriously mis-interpreted the current situation. I totally 100 % dis-agree with Tun that the present problems lie with Badawi. After all, Badawi inherited a lot of problems in society from the Mahathir administration. Badawi is a fall guy – he gets blamed for what is already done by the Mahathir administration.
    No matter who replaces Badawi – the problems remain. Firstly – the amount of corruption in the BN is terrible. Secondly – BN’s racial policies only benefits the Bumiputeras and Umno-puteras. The Indians and the Chinese have been left out by such racial policies. For how long can MCA and MIC retain grassroots support if the Indians and the Chinese keep losing out due to racial policies ?
    A multi-racial country like Malaysia must set its sights and goals on a Malaysian Malaysia and NOT a Malay Malaysia. If you are going to promote Malayism at the expense of the Indians and the Chinese – then I suppose you deserve the current situation.
    You simply cannot maintain this apartheid racial policy forever. The Indians and the Chinese have lost their patience with UMNO and the BN.
    I am not a supporter of Badawi. But I know its not his fault – Badawi inherited a lot of nonsense from the Mahathir administration. For Tun to go around now and point fingers at Badawi – is very unbecoming. Tun should lend Badawi a hand and not make the situation worse. Do you honestly think that anyone else can do better than Badawi ?
    Ultimately Malaysian Malays must grow up and accept the Indians and the Chinese as EQUAL Malaysians. The future lies in a Malaysian Malaysia and NOT Ketuanan Melayu yang dah lapok !
    Today’s world is one of high technology and globalisation. How does Ketuanan Melayu help the Malays face a NON-RACIAL future ?
    Tun – you ought to encourage Malays to go after science & technology. You should NOT be promoting racialism and whacking Badawi. The truth is – the system and legacy you left behind is NOT functional. Thats the painful truth !
    Best Regards
    Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad

  202. Salams Tun,
    7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.
    Saya sungguh tidak bersetuju dengan kenyataan ini. Untuk pengetahuan Tun, kami orang melayu sesungguhnya tidak marah kepada orang Cina diatas apa yg berlaku. Sebagai orang melayu, kami lebih marah kepada orang melayu yang suka melaga-lagakan bangsa sendiri untuk kepentingan peribadi mereka.
    Jauh disudut hati saya, saya berharap agar Tun sedar, sesungguhnya yang buat orang melayu marah bukanlah bangsa lain, tetapi bangsa melayu itu sendiri. Pemimpin melayu akan berkata, “Saya akan perjuangkan nasib bangsa melayu!”. Sesungguhnya mereka hanya pandai berkata-kata, hanya untuk mendapatkan pangkat dan kuasa. Bila mereka ada kuasa, lain pula yang mereka buat. Penuhkan poket sendiri dan keluarga sendiri. Itu pon setelah mereka kaya, mereka akan terlupa perjuangan asal mereka.
    Tun, jangan anggap perjuangan bangsa melayu hanya untuk mereka yang kaya sahaja. Yang mengundi pon bukanlah dari golongan melayu kaya. JIka golongan melayu miskin mengundi, yang mendapat kenikmatan hanya golongan melayu kaya, ini bukanlah keadilan namanya.
    Memang benar, jika tiada kesungguhan dari mana datangnya hasil. Pernahkah Tun berfikir, bagaimana nasib orang melayu yang bersungguh-sungguh, tetapi kesungguhan nya dicantas oleh orang melayu yang lebih hebat ilmu bodeknya?
    Orang melayu sekarang ini bukan marah kepada orang Cina. Orang melayu marah kerana orang melayu didalam UMNO terlampau pengecut untuk berkata benar, terlalu pengecut untuk mengatakan “YA KAMI SUDAH SALAH!”
    Jika orang-orang melayu ini sedar akan kesilapan mereka, belum terlambat untuk mereka bertaubat dan kembali kepangkal jalan.

  203. S. Tan
    I can’t disagree with you more. I wrote earlier and want to say it here again:
    Tun, you are no longer relevant to UMNO and Malaysia. You have left an era of your own. That’s the best that had happened. The current global economic crisis cannot be met by racial politics. We only need to turn to each other for strength in facing this crisis. We have the resources and the means internally. We can continue to develop this beautiful country together with each other resources. Today there are still people hopeful of securing contracts thru direct nego with th BN govt, that shows corruptions is still alive and kicking..
    Transparencies and good governance will lead this country to greater heights insensitive to global crisis. To care the individual wil make this country stronger against the viral attacks of the likes of Ahmad Ismail who should be exterminated from the face of the earth!

  204. Salam Ramadhan Tun Dr. Mahathir yang disanjungi.
    Nama saya Syazrul Aqram Iman. Pelajar tahun 3 Sains Fizik Universiti Sains Malaysia.
    Entri saya bukanlah untuk membela atau ingin mencetuskan perbalahan. Sekadar ingin mengingatkan bahawa ‘Kita dah terlalu melampau mengeji PM kita Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badwi’
    Saya pelik dan saya rasa kesal dengan majoriti rakyat Malaysia kini, terutama pelayar dalam laman web ini yang seringkali mengeji, mengkondem kepimpinan Pak Lah. Saya tahu dan sedar bahawa Pak Lah bukanlah pemimpin yang sempurna. Ada yang mengatakan dia kuat tidur, cakap tak serupa bikin dan sebaginya.
    Tapi, pernahkah kita bertanya. ‘Apa sebab dia jadi macam itu?’. Apa yang pasti berdasarkan pengamatan saya. Menjadi seorang Perdana Menteri bukanlah mudah. Bukanlah sesenang seperti kerja2 yang lain. Lebih tepat lagi, setiap pekerjaan mempunya kesusahan dan dugaan tersendiri. Tapi, yang pasti tanggungjawab sebagai PM merupakan yang terbesar akan ditanggung. Tun sendiri mengerti bukan?
    Betulkah Pak Lah kuat tidur? Kalau betul kita nampak dia ketiduran di majlis2, mungkin kerana Pak Lah bekerja lewat malam mencari penyelesaian masalah negara. Berfikir sepanjang malam dan melakukan kertas kerja bagi memastikan negara ini aman dan sejahtera. Kita yang mengeji beliau kuat tidur, kita ni buat apa? Kita hanya tidur seenak-enaknya waktu malam tanpa nak pikir masalah negara sangat pun. Kalau adapun, masalah rumahtangga dan anak2. Boleh ke nak dibandingkan masalah yang dihadapi Pak Lah? Saya rasa Tun sedar akan perkara ini bukan?
    Kita buka keaiban Pak Lah tanpa sedikut pun rasa peduli. Tak peduli bahwa kita juga bukanlah seperfect mana. Saya nak tanya la, apakah ini dikatakan Kesopanan dan Kesusilaan? Mungkin kita tak mengerti lagi Rukun Negara tersebut. Kita kata Pak Lah kroni dan macam2 lagi. Saya nak bgtau la, pengertian kroni itu sendiri bermaksud long-term friendship. Sepatutnya kroni bukanlah satu masalah yang besar kerana ianya lebih kepada kepercayaan Pak Lah kepada orang-orang disekelilingnya. Bolehkah kita mempercayai orang yang kita baru kenal atau langsung tak kenal, untuk kita serahkan projek berjuta-juta? Tidak sesekali bukan? Yang dipikul adalah kepentingan negara. Jika silap langkah Pak Lah mempercayai yang ada kaitan dengan musuh Malaysia. Apa akan jadi?? Rahsia negara akan diketahui oleh musuh Malaysia dan masa tu baru nak fikir pasal kepentingan kroni?
    Buka lah minda, jangan terlalu pandang negatif sahaja.
    Bagi saya, Pak Lah seorang pemimpin yang lembut. Dia tidak setegas Tun Dr. Mahathir. Tapi, dia tetap berusaha melaksanakan tanggungjawab dia sebagai PM. Dia tak zalim, kalau dia zalim. Dia takkan beri bonus kepada kakitangan kerajaan. Dia tak kedekut, kalau dia kedekut dia takkan peruntukkan kemudahan masjid-masjid baru dan sebagainya. Dia suka kayakan anak bini dia? Em, janganlah jadi naif sangat menuduh. Siapa yang boleh menolak kekayaan?? Ada sapa pelayar dalam blog ni boleh tolak kekayaan bulat2? Tun, boleh Tun tolak?
    Kita mungkin takkan tolak, tapi perlulah kita jangan tamak. Itu sahaja.
    Di samping itu, saya dapt merasakan bahawa kelemahan-kelemahan yang ditonjolkan oleh Pak Lah bukanlah 100% dari kesilapan Pak Lah sendiri. Tapi, dari sikap kita sebagai rakyat yang semakin hilang rasa hormat antara sesama sendiri mahupun terhadap yang lebih tua dan berpengalaman. Kita rakyat sendiri adalah penyumbang kepada kelemahan Pak Lah kerana atas desakan kita, kutukan kita, ketidapuashatian kita. Ianya membei tekanan kepada Pak Lah sehingga dia mengulangi kesilapan.
    Kesimpulannya, saya rasa Tun sendiri boleh mengerti akan keperitan sebagai PM bukan? Keperitan Tun menangisi sehingga Tun nak letak jawatan pada persidangan UMNO, mereka yang membangkang pernah mengatakan sandiwara.. sandiwara. Tak sakit hati ke dengar? Bukan senang nak jadi PM. Kroni, wang dan kuasa bukan segalanya bagi jalan menjadi PM. Tetapi, yang segalanya ialah kepercayaan, keyakinan dan usaha tanpa henti bagi memajukan negara. That’s wht Pak Lah terpilih. That’s why Tun terpilih.
    Persoalan terakhir. Siapa boleh buktikan dia adalah RAKYAT BERTANGGUNGJAWAB TERHADAP NEGARA?
    Tepuk dada, tanya akal, muhasabah hati.
    Wassalam.
    Syazrul Aqram Iman.

  205. Salam sejahtera Tun,
    BARISAN NASIONAL is still RELEVANT in Malaysia. We musn’t think otherwise. So please you irrelevant people in UMNO step aside because we can’t have you running the country like headless chickens! Let the CAPABLE people run it….
    To SHARIFF … Maaf saudara don’t be rude dan jangan lah punyai ciri-ciri seorang BIGOTS! Do REDEEMP YOURSELF …MASIH ADA WAKTU.

  206. Dear Tun
    Well said but deep inside your heart, do you think it works even with the rejuvenation of the concept to accommodate the younger generation needs?
    I doubt so, having seen what the Government and UMNO in particular had done for the past 51 years in power.
    It is not the changing of the shirt that matters in essence but more towards whether the body is suitable. An oversize or under size shirt does not fit into the body. That simple. No matter what you call it, a black pot is still a black pot even if you were to disguise it a white pot.
    Your above items 19 and 20 particularly on, quoting you and unquoting you here “but I would like to suggest the component parties should stop blaming each other, stop taking pot-shots at each other. Instead they should all come together and review the structure of BN. They should try for a win-win or lose-lose solution in dealing with inter-party relations. They should listen to the people and to their own members and find ways to satisfy their needs; to overcome their dissatisfaction. There must be some new thinking on the BN concept. But the basic premises about close collaboration between the parties, about the need to help each other, to accommodate and deal with grouses together should be maintained” holds truth only if the demands by the minority BN component parties (MCA, Gerakan, MIC and other Sarawak/Sabah-based parties) are met with a sincere UMNO heart to resolve grouses without the ill-intentions of just helping the Malays. It will only work out if UMNO:-
    i) sees it in the context of Malaysian Malaysia, helping all Malaysians irrespective of race, color or creed
    ii) fair in all decisions in terms of opportunities for all Malaysians although the special rights of Malays is undeniable
    iii) walk the talk and not just talk the talk (meaning saying one thing and doing another thing behind the back of others)
    iv) be transparent in all dealings with each and every other race
    v)determined to eradicate corruption and abuse of power by any leader
    v) Malaysian laws must apply to all Malaysians fairly; irrespective of race, color and creed
    vi)not oppress Malaysians but instead help them irrespective of their political divide inclination
    vii) respectful of each other’s religion, cultures, social needs and practices etc
    Although many politicians deem these may be not be achievable in the context of a multi-racial country like Malaysia, it is not what is perceived as possible or not but more of whether there is a desire to make it possible. Remember the word “IMPOSSIBLE”. If you break it up, by essence dismantling the impossible, it will become “I’m possible”. It all boils down to the “niat”, determination and visions of all politicians across the race divide.
    No matter how many Acts being enacted such as the Race Relations Act, it would not resolve the differences amongst races in Malaysia if the above (i) to (vii) are not addressed. Let’s face reality, Tun. I believe with your experience and exposure into politics, deep inside your heart…….it only works within these context of equality amongst all Malaysians. Let’s not cover up by blaming the demise of BN on just one person but more towards the mechanism BN was “constituted” and “the structure it premised upon”. Reality remains reality.
    Being fair to all is expounded in all religions in the world. God had commanded this need to be practised dearly and anyone amongst us homo sapiens who does not adhere to God’s words shall not be able to achieve results. Let’s not be guided by greed as greed in our holy books spell out it’s unacceptable and fatal is the ultimate result.
    Let’s be guided and adhere to God’s words in dealing with each other. History has proven and will prove again that it either works or not at all.

  209. Dear My Beloved Tun & Madam Tun,
    1. In my personal opinion its not right to say that the success of a country or nation or even a government is due to 1 person or 1 leader only. Without prejudice.
    2. I think its the whole organization that govern the country or the nation that will determine this.
    3. But in any organization, it needs a leader, a head. This leader that plays a big roll in determining the success of the organization & directly, the nation or country that its govern.
    4. If the organization & its system is good & very strong, a weak or bad leaders might not damage the organization. This provided the leader have little influence to the organization & its system.
    5. But if the leader’s influence is well spread inside the organization, it can simply make or break the organization & its country or the nation its govern.
    6. So here it will test whether the leader want to strengthen the organization & its system or to deepen his influence to the system.
    7. Tun, u have surely wanted to strengthen this organization & its system by being independant, not involving your family in the govt., advocates no money-politic, practice media freedom etc.
    8. And bcoz of this, the organization & its sytems become stronger, running smoothly & successfully. And since u’re the leader of this organization, u’re more than deserve to receive our appreciation, love, and our undivided support.
    9. But Pak Lah do the opposite. Which clearly shows that he’s spreading his influence onto the organization & this system. Thats why its fails together when Pak Lah’s administration is weak, uncertain, corrupted & polluted.
    10. At the same time its also wrong for us to support Anwar. Bcoz its a support for the leader only & not his organization together with the system.
    11. Its clearly seen with his sandiwara / soap-opera where he’s the one & only actor in it.
    12. There is no proven record on the organization (PKR) & its sytem. The PKR itself is setup for the leader i.e. Anwar!! To ensure his goal to become PM!
    13. They don’t even bother on showing to rakyat how well this first-timer organization is making a success.
    14. They’re not emphasising to rakyat their good governance & how well they’ve manage the 5 states they’re already owning. But being greedy enough, they’re more focusing on becoming the ruling party so Anwar can become the PM!
    15. Does the rakyat in the 5 states that already voted for them (PKR) really cares whether PKR will become the ruling party or not? I don’t think so. They only want them to manage them well first before talking about the whole malaysia.
    16. I wonder what happen to their election manifesto in these 5 states. I also bet that they’re having problems in managing these 5 states now. Thats why the spotlight diverted to Anwar only. I think one should also check the accounts of these 5 states. Must be quite messy!
    (This is what Pak Lah should do to counter attack Anwar! Check the 5 states & how PKR is performing. But maybe Pak Lah is too busy lobbying himself for the upcoming UMNO GE!!)
    17. So if this leader (Anwar) fails, what happen to this ever-fragile, no proven track record organization & its system? Kindly be reminded that leader is human & human make mistake & not perfect. And in this case it comes together with proven court case!!! Of a sodomy case!!! 🙂
    18. So we should go for a strong organization, with proven history and workable system to govern our country & our nation. We already have 1 which is BN.
    19. And as a voter and shareholder of BN, we should demand for a change of leader!!
    20. Especailly when this organization & its system is polluted with Pak Lah’s bad influence & beginning to falls….
    My humble opinion…. Adios!

  210. Sekali lagi saya ingin memberikan sedikit komen terhadap perkra yang berhubung kait dengan kenyataan YB Teresa Kok baru baru ini yang menyamakan makanan yang diberikan kepada beliau semasa di Pusat Tahanan dahulu. Kenyataan beliau yang menyamakan makanan yang dihidangkan kepadanya adalah sama seperti “makanan anjing” adalah tidak patut dan menjijikkan. Wahai YB Teresa Kok, untuk maklumat anda, itulah makanan yang kami bekas tentera pernah memakannya dahulu semasa kami berkhidmat untuk mengamankan negara Malaysia yang tercinta ini supaya YB dan ahli ahli YB yang lainnya dapat hidup aman tenteram sehingga sekarang ini. Tak ada beef steak atau masakan yang seenak seperti dihidangkan dirumah YB atau hotel hotel kalau itulah yang YB maksudkan. Furthermore, do you expect to be served as VIP in a Pusat Tahanan? If we had survived then until our retirement, what and who are you to bring up that kind of treatment accorded to you for the benefits of your political games? Do you bother to find out how we, as soldiers have suffered and eaten our canned food all those years while we were fighting the communist terrorists in the jungles just to make you and your parents enjoy the peaceful life as you are enjoying today? Are you trying to imply that we too had eaten what you termed as “dog food?” all those years? Please do not humiliate us and I demand for an apology for that ok? By the way, if the Pusat Tahanan srves the kinds of food that you are hoping to be served with like kueh teow goreng, bee hun soup and perhaps pork meat, then I think you yourself would purposely do something wrong to warrant youself to be arrested, enlisted and admitted as permanent detainee just to enjoy the good feed!!! I guess you can put that in your DAP’s future manifesto right? Maaf ayahanda Tun kerana tumpang lalu dan salam hormat sekali lagi. We love you always!

  211. Tun, you are my idol forever, last friday pray at Masjid Negara, i shake Tun hand. all Malaysian miss your leadership Tun. If Malaysia have three person like Tun Mahathir, for sure Malaysia will become world major power.
    Glad to have person like Tun in this country. Your name will always in Malaysian heart.

  212. One day soon, the BN will in essence comprise of only Umno and MIC (plus a few of the nonsensical hidup segan, padan mati-LAH ones like PPP)
    The Sabah and Sarawak-based ones will most probably follow where the wind blows. MCA and Gerakan are into their last months, if not weeks.
    If this scenario comes to pass, then Umno will be like what PAS once was in the mid-1980’s – all alone against the world … with MIC maybe still loyal “for old-time’s sake” and remain. Maybe this new-version BN should change its name to Barisan Zorro & Tonto.

  213. Today is Sept 23, the day of reckoning. Or the day that will pass by and nothing happens. As I write this, we see West Malaysia is in a state of haywire and amazingly all eyes are suddenly on us in the East now. The politicians here are now being looked upon as the KingMakers to decide the fate of the nation. As we muddled through 2008, the state of chaos has resulted a deeper economic hardship to us. While you politicians are fighting each other for political dominance, we the rakyat, are suffering. And yet, you guys still doesn’t sit down and asked of what we really want. Instead, you continue to create issues that are degenerating our nation into mayhem.
    Let us tell you that we, the People of the East want this chaotic situation to end. When we became part of Malaysia in 1963, there was a consensus under the Cobbold Commission. It gave each and every one of us the opportunity to show our preference. Now, what we want is a consensus again to determine to whom our allegiance are. Politicians may said they have the support from the people, but do they? All, in all we are the ones suffering from this debacle.

  214. Asalamualaikum Ayahanda Tun. Terima kasih kerana masih sudi menulis dan menyumbangkan buah fikiran untuk dikongsi bersama dengan para bloggers ini. Saya kagum dengan keupayaan, semangat, ketekunan, keikhlasan dan kejujuran ayahanda Tun untuk meyedarkan rakyat melalui blog ini. Seperti para bloggers yang lainnya, saya berasa hairan kenapalah pemimpin pemimpin dan menteri menteri UMNO tidak bersatu dan berani untuk menasihati DSAAB supaya mempunyai maruah dan melepaskan jawatan PM demi menyelamatkan agama, bangsa dan negara tercinta ini. Saya penuh yakin dan percaya bahawa sekiranya beliau berbuat demikian dan negara terselamat selepas itu, nama beliau akan tetap harum dan dikenang oleh anak cucu rakyat Malaysia. Bukankah itu yang dituntut oleh agama juga? Bukankah DSAAB seorang yang datang dari keluarga yang tebal bukan hanya di bidang pengajaran islam bahkan juga politik??? Apa dah jadi? Adakah ini bermaksud bahawa mengejar kekayaan dan kuasa itu adalah mengatasi segala galanya kepada beliau? Adakah beliau memilih untuk dicaci dan dibenci oleh setiap anak cucu rakyat Malaysia akan datang sekiranya beliau gagal untuk menyelamatkan generasi rakyat Malaysia ini dimasa yang akan datang? Wahai DSAAB, berundur diri bukan bermakna kalah. Lebih lebih lagi kalau perbuatan itu kelak akan menghasilkan kejayaan kepada objektif dan akhirnya matlamat tercapai. Fikirkanlah wahai DSAAB. Salam hormat kepada ayahanda dan ibunda Tun berdua.

  215. Ayahanda Tun sekeluarga …….. assalamualaikum.
    1. Kenapa cadangan tambatan rm tidak diterima pakai. Adakah ianya ditolak kerana idea tersebut datangnya dari Ayahanda Tun. Fikir masak2,jgn perjudikan nasib negara.
    2. Kenapa isu makanan tahanan ISA perlu dihighlihtkan. Memang sifat pembangkang mencari peluang nak hentam kerajaan walau pun isu kecil. Kepada media jgnlah perbesarkan isu ini. Kepada yb yang mendakwa dijamu makanan yang lebih baik sedikit berbanding anjing cubalah jengok2 di kawasan orang susah. Mereka ini tidak pernah mengenali apakah itu makanan VIP. Jgn cari publisiti murahan,buat malu sahaja.Pihak kerajaan jgn dok layan sangat putarbelit mereka ni. Buang masa aje.
    3. Nak tahu kemajuan kes yang melibatkan Yb Karpal Singh berkaitan dengan isu institusi diraja sama ada akan dibawa ke muka pengadilan atau pun diam seribu bahasa.

  216. Dulu seronok dapat Pak Lah ganti Tun.
    La ni baru tahu.
    Duk terkenang Tun balik.
    Mustahil Pak Lah nak lepas.
    La ni rakyat duk seronok nak dapat Pakatan Rakyat jadi gomen.
    Nak test konon, kalau tak ok rakyat boleh bagi BN semula.
    Anwar nak bagi can?
    Kit Siang nak bagi can?
    kirim salam je lah Melayu.

  217. Dear Tun,
    Interesting points, all needed to be said is said out loud.
    How many citizens agree to these points as stipulated by Tun?
    17. In the past, the BN Government had managed to keep Malaysia stable and to develop the country as well. If it seems not to be able to do so now it is not because the BN as a party is no longer suitable for this country. It is simply due to very poor and incompetent leadership.
    18. The component parties of the BN should not think that their best hope is to see the demise of the BN. Rather they should all come together to resuscitate it. If it is necessary to dump the leader than they should do so. But destroying the BN will neither be good for the component parties nor for the nation.
    19. I am not an UMNO member even but I would like to suggest the component parties should stop blaming each other, stop taking pot-shots at each other. Instead they should all come together and review the structure of BN. They should try for a win-win or lose-lose solution in dealing with inter-party relations. They should listen to the people and to their own members and find ways to satisfy their needs; to overcome their dissatisfaction.
    Is the VOICEs out there LOUD ENOUGH to enable our leader to hear what is being said and what should be done?
    Let me share my opinion, steps taken to ensure reading and understanding of the QURAN is crucial rather than just reading the text is a positive step taken, as only then can the MUSLIMS conclude the summary of life in this temporary stop-over. The Hereafter is sought more at the end.
    I saw today on NTV7 News at 7.00 pm, with YB Tan Sri Dato Hj Muhiyiddin bin Mohd Yassin, said that it is Allah who decides my fate. I said to myself, that is a responsible leader.
    Thanks Tun.
    Salam.

  218. Masalahnya, Pak-Pak Menteri Melayu yang sepatutnya menasihati Pak Lah sendiri rasa seronok dengan Pak Lah jadi PM, pasal senang diperbodohkan.
    Duk syok sendiri situlah Pak Lah kena ampu, sampai hancur BN dan UMNO.

  219. Jangan kata perkara heavy, yang remehpun Pak Lah mengarut.
    Zaman Dr Che Det dulu mana ada iklan tv pakai muka orang asing.
    Tapi.. zaman Ustaz Pak Lah, bertambun, tak mustahil nanti tak ada lagi iklan tv pakai muka orang Malaysia.
    Ketelusan membabi-buta.

  220. mat binggung said,
    Dah lama tak komen saya tak komen walaupun tak miss buka blog yang dihormati Tun.
    Saya dari dulu memang tak jadi ahli mana-mana parti politik dan jika mengundi, saya biasanya pilih calon yang saya rasa boleh dipercayai dan berjiwa rakyat. Kalau calon-calon tak sesuai, saya tak mengundi seperti pada pilihan raya lalu.
    Seperkara lagi nak komen adalah mengenai Perhimpunan UMNO Disember ini. Saya lihat persaingan akan datang mewakili dua kelompok iaitu pemimpin yang mahu menyelamatkan semula UMNO atau pro-Tun dan satu lagi yang pro-Pak Lah.
    Susah nak ramal siapa antara dua kumpulan ini yang akan menang tapi saya percaya jika tiada mainan politik wang, kumpulan pro Tun akan menang dan jika ini berlaku, saya percaya UMNO akan kembali disegani seperti dulu.
    – Dari segi pemimpin, saya perhatikan pemimpin yang tidak pernah menghentam dan mengkritik Tun semakin mendapat tempat di hati rakyat. Sebab tu, menteri yang dulunya lantang kritik Tun, mula berubah sikap.
    – Saya juga percaya Najib boleh dijadikan sandaran dan saya percaya Tun pun percaya dengan kewibawaan Najib. Lihat nasib golongan kerdil di kementerian pertahanan dan Felda yang dibela oleh Najib.
    Jangan kita salahkan Najib kerana beliau juga menghadapi dilema. Jika lawan tauke, nanti tak pasal-pasal kena pecat, berkokok di luar pun tak guna jika tiada kuasa. Dalam UMNO dan kerajaan, kawan hanya datang jika kita ada kuasa dan pangkat.
    – Saya percaya gandingan Najib, Muhyiddin, Rais, Syed Hamid, Hishammudin dan pelapis baru seperti Ketua Pemuda Johor dan anak Tun sendiri boleh menggembalikan kegemilangan UMNO dan kerajaan.
    – Seperkara lagi saya perhatikan dalam akhbr Keadilan sejak beberapa keluaran kebelakangan ini amat jarang menghentam Tun. Saya percaya Keadilan percaya, bila hentam Tun, akan timbul reaksi daripada penyokong setia Tun.
    Itu saja. Harap Tun dapat adakan Open House Aidilfitri. Dulu pergi masa Tun jadi PM tapi patah balik kerana tak sanggup nak beratur panjang. Terima kasih kerana pernah membawa Malaysia ke mercu kejayaan.

  221. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    I just like to point 1 thing that most people forgets,the hand pick of Prime Minister was done by Tun himself. Sorry to say this, but I really think that all this problem occurs by bad leadership. If we ask back who choose this leader? Then we know who made the wrong judgement. I’m really sorry but I’m a person that talks straight & facts.
    If I’m wrong about this you can always back fire me.Since Pak Lah took over all the problems are there & I don’t see any Leadership character on Pak Lah since he was a Menteri Luar.
    Don’t get me wrong Tun, I really admire Tun from my childhood till today Tun are the one that changes a lot of our “Lifestyle”. Appreciate that. But a simple mistake can effect the whole nation. Am I right Tun on this?
    I’m sorry Tun If I say something that hurts Tun’s feeling.
    Thank You
    Regards,
    Mohd Jamal

  222. Zaman Dr Che Det dulu mana ada ditayang wayang melayu cerita hantu yang hanya mencemarkan Islam dimata pemerhati yang bukan Islam.
    …Tapi Zaman Ustaz Paklah, berebut orang buat cerita hantu.

  223. Kalau UMNO berkubur bersama BN, sampai kiamat, malah sampai akhirat orang Melayu akan cerca Pak Lah dan konco-konconya yang takut untuk menurunkan Pak Lah.

  225. Dear Tun,
    The present Captain of UMNO dah jadi macam Captain Crooket!
    Bila dah jadi Captain Crooket dia pun “mabuk kuasa” tak tentu hala dalam kapal.When the captain is “intoxicated” on board the ship he will act flip, flop, flup !! The tendency will be that the ship he stirs will go haywire with no direction to reach the port.
    When the situation is out of control normally there will be a mutiny and his crew will just throw the Captain into the sea.

  226. Aslmkm Tun…
    UMno tidak perlukan lagi post mortem atau kajian lagi… segala dah parah… apa yang perlu sekarang :
    1. pak lah melepaskan jawatan PM
    2. khairyi tidak dibenarkan menjadi ahli UMNO
    3. pemimpin yang tidak berkualiti jgak kena lepaskan jawatan
    4. minda melayu kena ada anjakan paradigmia
    5. melayu harus bersatu.

  227. Sir,
    I would like to comment on the statement below:
    “7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.”
    No, I do not believe Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Ahmad’s unprofessional behaviour only reflected on his weakness and that of his supporters and caused so much embarrassment for UMNO. Just because of a few Ahmad-type persons around, it does not mean the average Chinese will get angry with the average Malay. We work in the same office, talk, etc. We just ignore the unprofessional behaviour of such weak people. We urban folks are busy earning a living while the politicians are busy with own agendas and leaving the economy to run on its own.

  228. PERCALUNAN UMNO
    PRESIDEN : Y.B.M TENGKU RAZALEIGH HAMZAH
    TIMBALAN PRESIDEN : Y.B. TAN SRI MUHYIDDIN YASSIN
    LAIN2 POST : PILIH LAH SENDIRI……
    sokonglah gagasan ini untuk kebaikan UMNO & BARISAN NASIONAL

  229. By Jamal on September 22, 2008 11:04 PM
    Dear Tun,BN must not break up. BN is the best option for Malaysia even until now. BN needs a change of approach. BUT BN must stay together and work out the problems together. Pak Lah is not blind, Pak Lah is not deaf, Pak Lah is not dumb. Pak Lah knows what is going on. Pak Lah know that he has to step down to save UMNO, BN and ALL of Malaysia. However, as a PM he needs to have the space and time to step down gracefully and honourably.But Pak Lah, time is not on his side.
    Komen pakbelalang;
    Yeh,yeh,yeh !!
    Pak Lah tak pekak!
    Pak Lah tak buta!
    Pak Lah tak bisu!
    Tapi Pak Lah haprak, HP6, kuat tidor dan khayal!!
    We can’t give him the luxury of space and time because the oppositions are at UMNO’s doorstep to go for a “kil”. Make no mistake about it. I tell you, it is a matter of time only.

  230. Salam Ramadan buat Tun sekeluarga,
    Demi kebaikan masyarakat Melayu, kembalilah ke UMNO dan pimpinlah pemimpin-pemimpin rabun dan buta yang memimpin UMNO sekarang.

  231. Hello Tun,
    I read some comments that are quite daring.I suppose there are some liberalism & freedom of expression.But the writers use their pseudonyms.Again there is no total freedom.Many people fear being put under ISA.If Govt just catches anyone whom they think is a threat imagine how many will be put under it.The DAP politician Theresa who was detained for a week said she was fed very poor food,something like “Dog’s food”.I cannot believe things like that can happen to fellow citizens during Ramadan.Don’t know what poor RPK would be eating. Many are praying for his early release too.Despite what the Press says abt Race relations taking a bashing I think majority of all races get along well at least on the surface.Harmonious Inter -ethnic relations in a multi-racial,multi-cultural, multi-religious & multi-lingual society are of foremost importance.If you don’t have this harmony when the delicate fabric that binds the different races is torn, I dread to think what will happen to Malaysia then.We have seen on TV & read enough to fear the outcome.
    Tun ,you have a good indepth knowledge on race relations & the present Malaysian politics.So I think you would have made a good Prof of Political Science.
    Pak Lah faces huge political & economic problems.Of course when things go wrong the first person to blame is the PM ‘cos he’s the chosen leader.The political impasse posed by problems from within & outside his party is just too much for him to bear without strong support from his deputy & inner circle.
    Many people are not sure who will be PM next yr.It is quite fluid.
    RT

  232. TUN Yang disayang dan disegani,
    Kalau dilihat mana mana negara yang dah beratus tahun merdeka, kerajaan mereka hanya mempunyai 2 parti.Parti ini pula silih berganti memerintah negara.Tetapi sayangnya tanah air kita telah dijajah lebih 400 tahun oleh portugis,belanda dan british lalu terhasil negara kita yang terdiri drpd berbilang kaum.Kita sangat beruntung kerana di pimpin oleh BN sejak 51 tahun yang berjaya memajukan kita ke tahap sekarang tidak seperti berpuluh puluh negara lain (yang juga berbilang kaum)di Asia dan Afrika yang masih tak kemana.
    Saya amat bersetuju dengan pendapat TUN, agak mustahil kalau Malaysia ada BN dan PR kerana PR terlalu bercelaru tak tahu hujung pangkal ibarat tangki minyak yg ada 8 kepala paip.(berebut kepala paip nak jual minyak). Tetapi kami kekadang tertanya tanya juga bagaimana TUN boleh terkeluar nama Pak Lah sebagai pengganti. TUN ,rosak ikan bermula di kepala, dan kalau ketua jadi ZOMBIE maka melaratlah ke kiri ke kanan dan ke bawah parti.Tak nampak kami siapa yang boleh jadi pengganti melainkan TUN naik sekali lagi.
    TUN, lahir je kami bercakap lain bahasa
    budaya dan agama pun lain
    sekolah tadika pun lain
    sekolah rendah pun lain
    sekolah menengah asing asing
    subject belajar kekadang tak sama
    hobi, sukan masing masing
    di universiti/kolej tidak sebilik
    study group tak join.
    TUP TUP bila keluar bekerja/berpolitik kena sama sama seiring, tolak ansur, faham memahami, bekerjasama…….
    Sesuatu perlu di mulakan oleh Pemimpin( bukan sekarang punya) agar semua semua lebih selesa,,khidmat negara suatu permulaan yang baik walaupun mungkin agak lewat dan singkat.Tetapi tidak terlalu lewat usaha memalaysiankan agar masalah sama (politik sekarang)dapat dielakkan agar BN tak jadi tangki minyak 8 kepala paip. sekian. selamat berpuasa TUN yang disayangi.

  233. Tun,
    To komando_robot> akhirnya Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim berjaya mendapatkan 30 kerusi tambahan…..sumbangan Chan Furniture….
    Dengan 31 kerusi yang sudah diperolehi pada 16 Sept dari Courts Mammoth, bererti Dato Seri kini mempunyai sejumlah 61 kerusi.
    Dipercayai Dato Seri Abdullah Badawi dan menantunya Khairy Jamaluddin juga akan menyumbang kerusi mereka kepada Anwar Ibrahim, menjadikan jumlah 63 kerusi.
    Sayangnya Dato Zaid Ibrahim tiada kerusi untuk diberi kepada Anwar kerana beliau tidak mempunyai kerusi, malah terpaksa berdiri selama memegang jawatan Menteri Undang2 (dikhuatiri sebab utama beliau meletak jawatan adalah kerana penat berdiri, tetapi beliau masih ingin mengekalkan jawatan Senator kerana telah diberi bangku panjang iaitu selama 3 tahun).
    Maaf Tun, dah larut pagi ni terpaksa berhumor sedikit. Tapi saya yakin para penyokong taksub Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim tentu percaya dan gembira dengan berita perolehan 61 + 2 “kerusi” ini.

  234. Dear Tun and Malaysian,
    Satu cerita fiksyen yang ingin saya kongsi bersama.
    M’sia telah mencapai kemerdekaan selama 51 tahun. Tetapi perpaduan kaum hanya dicapai setakat kerjasama dan saling bertolak ansur dikalangan kaum di M’sia. Mengapa ini terjadi? Salah satu sebab utamanya adalah dasar pemerintahan UMNO iaitu ‘Break and Rules’. Dasar ini memang sudah lama dipakai oleh Kerajaan British sebelum 1957 dan merupakan satu ‘jalan mudah’ untuk memerintahan sebuah negara yang terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum dan agama. Namun malangnya bangsa UMNO ini yang menjadi bangsa majoriti bukan bangsa yang paling dominan di negara ini. Ini menjadi satu masalah kerana tidak mungkin bangsa yang kurang dominan boleh memimpin bangsa-bangsa lain yang lebih dominan dari banyak segi. Oleh itu, perlu diwujudkan dasar ‘social contract’ untuk menjaga kepentingan bangsa pemerintah. Dasar-dasar ini telah diterima oleh semua bangsa demi keamanan dan kemakmuran negara dan dengan ini membolehkan UMNO mengekalkan kuasanya sehingga kini.
    Tetapi hari ini PKR kata dasar-dasar ini tidak relevan lagi kerana kita sekarang sudah berada dalam dunia globalisasi dan liberal kononnya. Sudah tentu konsep baru ini diterima baik oleh semua bangsa di negara ini kecuali bangsa UMNO kerana ini memberi peluang kepada semua orang untuk bersaing secara adil dan telus. Agenda PKR ini datang tepat pada masanya kerana rakyat sudah hilang keyakinan kepada kepimpinan UMNO dan BN. Yang mahu perubahan pilih PKR, yang jemu dengan BN pilih PKR dan yang suka dengan mulut DSAI pun pilih PKR. Jadi PKR terus mara dan mencapai kejayaan demi kejayaan.
    Apabila PKR jadi kerajaan, rakyat yakin negara akan kembali seperti biasa dan terus membangun mencapai Wawasan 2020. Akan tetapi apabila sampai 2020, negara memang menjadi negara maju dan disanjungi tetapi tanpa disedari, bangsa majoriti yang kurang dominan kini terpaksa diperintah oleh bangsa-bangsa minoriti yang lebih dominan. Yang lebih menyedihkan ialah mulut manis DSAI yang dirindui sudah pun dihantar ke akhirat. Sejarah M’sia akan ditulis semula dengan ayat pertamanya berbunyi ” Sejarah M’sia bermula pada tahun 1963 dimana Ibukotanya berpusat di S’pura…”
    Siapakah yang rugi? Jawapannya tiada sesiapa yang rugi, cuma bangsa majoriti bukan lagi pemerintah. Orang Barat panggil ini ‘Evolusi’ atau ‘ Survival of the Fittest’.

  235. Salam Tun,
    BN is just like an old Proton Saga. It requires a major overhaul to withstand and compete with other new models. Once overhauled, it needs a good DRIVER to manouvre the car around in any road condition…..only then BN is RELEVANT!
    thank you
    WASSALAM

  236. Tun..kalau parti A menang PRU, Parti A akan membentuk kerajaan. Jadi Ketua parti A akan jadi ketua kerajaan. Kalau ketua parti A tak mampu mentadbir negara dengan baik, boleh ke lantik ahli parlimen dari Parti A yang tiada jawatan dalam parti sebagai ketua kerajaan ?
    Ringkaskan soalan…tak boleh ke lantik ahli parlimen UMNO yang lebih berkaliber tapi tiada jawatan dalam parti sebagai ketua kerajaan ?
    Bunyi macam soalan bodoh tapi saya perlukan penjelasan . Sesiapa ada jawapan, tolong bagitahu!Kalau Tun yang jawab , lagi bagus!
    Terima kasih, Tun..

  237. Dear Tun,
    Salam dan selamat berpuasa.
    BANGKIT ISU SENSITIF
    I believe sensitive issues were stirred by only Umno – the other parties responded due to the fallout. The full Govt media and post election political gatherings by Umno keep analysing PRU12 results as loss of Malay (not Umno) power. The current 2008 PARLIAMENT HAS MORE MALAY MPs THAN 2004! And 2004 was the best result for Umno!
    Every event was twisted by govt media to ‘reflect’ this apparent loss of power, events which would be non-issues if BN had won. To frighten the Malays main stream media (MSM) twisted everything and link it to questioning of Malay special rights, questioning social contract, minta hak lebih, gugat kedudukkan Melayu dll. Tun main peranan bapa penghasut nak tangguk sokongan jatuhkan Pak Lah.
    Hak istimewa
    Yang dipersoal cara Umno mengurusnya (sarat dengan rasuah, anak buah tamak) Kaum lain sanggup Melayu lain (Pas PKR) urusnya tapi Umno hebohkan konon hak ini di soal bukan Melayu. Siapa bangkit isu sensitif?
    Social contract
    Yang di minta perlaksanaan lebih telus dan adil. Dah 51 tahun Umno pegang hasil negara, kuasa lesen, kontrak, saham. Kalau masih banyak Melayu miskin salah Umno. Bagi Melayu lain urus. Tapi Umno tak nak lepas walaupun kepada Melayu sendiri. Dia guna kaum lain menakutkan Melayu. Siapa bangkit isu sensitif?
    Gugat kedudukkan Melayu
    Kaum yang jumlahnya majoriti mutlak, kuasai pentadbiran awam, polis, tentera, kehakiman (tambah ada institusi Raja) mustahil di gugat. The maths don’t add unless your teacher is Umno. Orang lain cuma boleh melaung laung saja tak ada daya laksana apa apa.
    Orang Melayu jangan khuatir parlimen boleh di kuasai bukan Melayu sebab Tun dah rungkai sempadannya dulu menjadikannya mustahil. Tapi Tun tak terfikir bukan Melayu sanggup undi Pas atau Melayu PKR lebih dari BN tanpa kira bangsa(you believe extreme racial differences makes this improbable) Jadi kingmaker! Hasil kepintaran Tun!
    Minta lebih lebih..
    Siapa yang minta lebih lebih…selepas 51 tahun tak ada keistimewaan minta sedikit keadilan mengada ngada? Jaga kaum sendiri itu yang dah berada (rumah kolam renang, berkereta Mercedes) melaung hak istimewa atau hak dia! DAH BESAR BERBULU MASIH NAK MENYUSUP SUSU IBU – UMNOPUTRA!
    Mat-mat saham,kontrak,lesen(untuk pajak gadai)adalah Umnoputra yang pengkhianat, musuh bangsa bukan orang yang minta keadilan.

  238. A’KUM TUN, THIS TIME I REALLY AGREE WITH YOU ( 100% ). HOPEFULLY VERY SOON YOU IDEA WILL BE ADOPTED BY THE LEADERS AND NEW BARISAN NASIONAL WILL FORM. INSYAALAH.

  239. Salam Tun dan semua warga chedet.com
    1. Pada PRU yang lepas saya dapat rasakan yang BN akan kalah banyak kerusi. Sebabnya banyak kekecohan dalam urusan pemilihan calon BN. BN macam tak bersedia pun untuk hadapi PRU,tarikh PRU dah dekat tapi senarai calon duk tunggang langgang lagi, sebab tu la ada ahli akar umbi yang sabotaj kempen BN. Rasanya masa zaman Tun, takde kecoh2 macam tu pun..
    2. Saya rasa BN masih relevan untuk rakyat Malaysia yang cintakan keamanan dan kemakmuran.PR bukan alternatif yang baik untuk menggantikan kerajaan BN.Sapa yang untung sebenarnya kalau PR berkuasa ?Fikir elok2, jangan tipu diri sendiri.
    3. Ada pemimpin PR kata dia dapat makanan yang lebih kurang sama macam makanan anjing masa kena tahan dulu. Dia dah biasa makan makanan mewah, sebab tu dia kata macam tu. Bagi majoriti rakyat Malaysia, tu lah makanan kita terutama masa dalam kesusahan ( masa banjir, masa takde duit… ).Macamana dia nak berjuang untuk rakyat Malaysia, baru kena skit tu pun dah kecoh sedunia!
    4. DSAI bukan pemimpin yang hebat, dia cuma pandai berkata2.Saya tak suka dia sebab dulu berlaku rusuhan di KL akibat ucapan dia yang berapi2,rosak harta benda awam..Orang yang sanggup kucar kacirkan negara tak layak dilantik sebagai pemimpin. Kalau dalam PRK Pmtg Pauh ari tu, ada calon bebas yang benar2 berkaliber, berpengaruh dan berasal dari sana, barulah nampak kesannya. Ni orang kelantan pi masuk lawan kat penang, tak kena la…

  240. Salam untuk semua.
    These people are really too much. Whilst one is stubborn and ungrateful and refused to listen to good advice, the other is trying to show his colour by making a press statement and saying that the Govt (he) will not not peg the Malaysian Ringgit to US Dollar now and in the future. That’s right he said NOW and in THE FUTURE.What is he up to? Or trying to prove? Is it because he is in power he can say so! Is he as adamant and stubborn as his boss or as arrogant? What about if it really necessary that Malaysia has to peg the Ringgit to USD. This narrow mindedness is not a good quality and creative thinking expected of a future PM (or will he be one). Just became Finance Minister for two three days already an expert in Financial Management? Oh God bless Malaysia.
    I really do not know what holds for Malasyia’s future in the hands of these people.
    Pak Lah must go now, Najib should not be around after UMNO’s General Assembly in December.
    The Ship is unstable and sinking, so UMNO people, stabilise and float the ship and sack the Captain and the Chief Officer. Let others be in Command!

  241. Assalamualaikum Tun yang di kasihi,
    Semoga Tun di kurniakan kesejahteraan kesihatan oleh Allah Taala.
    Memang benar kata2 Tun,kerajaan Dolah sekarang ini seperti tidak mahu mengaku yang mereka ini begitu lemah untuk menangani apa jua krisis yang melanda. The biggest culprite is Dolah himself.
    Saya rasa yang menteri2 kabinetnya juga tahu akan kelemahan & ketidak cerdikkan si Dolah ni tapi cuma tidak berani hendak membuka mulut tentang kebenaran ini.Dan si Dolah juga tau yang dia memang gagal sebagai seorang pemimpin. Tetapi oleh kerana sifat bodoh sombong,angkuh & egonya dia tetap merasakan yang segala yang dibuatnya adalah benar belaka.Dan dia juga mempunyai barisan penasihat yang dunggu seperti Nor Mohamed Yakob & Shahrir yang selalu memberikan idea2 & info2 yang salah kepada Dolah yang bodoh sombong ni. Sebagai pemimpin dia berhak menolak apa jua nasihat yang diberikan oleh penasihatnya. Tetapi kerana tahap ilmu Dolah amat cetek, dengan senangnya si 2 orang ini dapat meyakinkan beliau. Nor Mohamed Yakob baru ini menyatakan Anwar lah yang menjadi penyebab ekonomi negara meleset.Kenapa mesti menuding jari dan tidak bertindak
    dari awal atau mempersiapkan action plan. Itu memang kerja Anwar ddari dulu lagi,dia sanggup menggadaikan negara demi kepentingan sendiri.
    Cadangan Tun untuk menambat nilai RM telah ditolak bulat2 oleh Najib seperti disiarkan di Buletin Utama. Kononnya biar RM ditentukan oleh mengikut pasaran dunia. Satu dunia tahu yang idea bernas Tun untuk menambat nilai RM sewaktu krisis dulu amat berkesan bagi Malaysia & ini memang terbukti.
    Saya rasa Najib memang mahu mengikut nasihat Tun untuk menambat nilai RM tetapi mungkin si Dolah telah memberi amaran supaya jangan berbuat demikian kepada Najib.
    Sebab idea ini datangnya dari Tun,si Dolah menolaknya kerana sifat egonya. Biarlah ekonomi Malaysia merundung & rakyat menderita asalkan ia dapat memuaskan egonya. Dari sini kita dapat melihat betapa Dolah mempunyai sifat mementingkan diri sendiri. Teruskan perjuangan Tun untuk membela Malaysia dari Dolah pemimpin yang gagal dalam segala-galanya. Anyway Tun dekat KL ni kuih vadai dekat mana yang paling sedap?

  242. It was reported in The Star that State Umno liaison committee deputy chairman Datuk Abdul Rashid Abdullah announced that all the divisions and wings have pledged to nominate Abdullah and his deputy Najib for the party president and deputy president’s posts respectively.
    Yes it seems that PakLah will surely sit on the helm regardless of what others (eg. KuLi) might do or say. There is no such thing as democratic reforms within Umno. Umno’s system has changed, if not on its interpretation of its constitution than on the mentality of its politicians. There seems to be too many of these politicians who rather have someone who has failed constantly then choose someone who can revamp the country back to its original goal. Unless of course if I am wrong.
    As Tun had indicated constantly, there are many Yes Men in the country. Well if this is what PakLah’s democracy is all about, then I am more comfortable in the times of Dr. M’s Govt. At least the economy, security and racial interaction was more stronger than what it is now.
    Yes times are changing and people must accept the realities, however I do not agree with such ‘developments’ and I do not think our political climate is condusive for Malaysians to unite as a common race with a common goal. It is sad to know that we are living in an age of ignorance. After 22 years of Dr. M’s Govt, we should at least know our priorities based on lessons learned.
    Umno and BN will never change. Even when PakLah steps down, the PakLah Mentality will be a common flaw within BN. The BN ship has been damaged and there should be an option of moving forward under a different flagship. I do not think in 2010 we can depend on Umno and BN to represent Malaysians as a whole, in line with the basic principles of Dr. M’s Vision 2020.
    After all, there are no evidence of positive changes within BN. Can we really depend on BN to represent our issues, needs and concerns? I believe not.

  243. BARISAN NASIONAL – MAHTHIRS LEGACY
    The Barisan Nasional as it is today is a legacy left behind by you.
    The question one should ask is what was it before your leadership and what has it become after you left.
    What was left behind was a bunch of so called leaders that were more interested in their selfish accumulation of power and wealth rather than the interests of the people. This is true for all the parties in the Barisan.
    Overall, you have failed to find or groom any one person amongst the many leaders in UMNO that could have offered the country a leader that is corrupt-free, educated with capable leadership qualities that put the people first.
    After all It was you who gave us DSAAB.
    In the 2004 elections, DSAAB won because he was perceived to offer a clean leadership that promised transparency and moderation as compared with your somewhat draconian way of doing things. Very soon however, it became clear that transparency and leadership went through the window when it became apparent it was those chaps in the 4th floor that were really running the show.
    UMNO became a party of money politics, with corrupt leaders of somewhat questionable education standards and being increasingly racist in tone and manner. They have lost the respect of not only the Malays but also of the other races.
    MCA, MIC is also perceived in a similar way with leaders only putting their self interests first. I think even the leaders of Sabah and Sarawak component parties will also be seen in a similar light and this will probably become evident in the next elections.
    The old formula of race based parties that formed a coalition to look after their communal interests worked if their leaders did their job. But they did not. The component party leaders are perceived as being yes-men to the dominant UMNO. Hence they are loosing the trust of their own communities.
    As regards to your point –
    16. I cannot see the Opposition with its loose organisation being able to handle Malaysia’s racial and economic problems
    > Well, at present, I don’t foresee BN doing a good job either.
    Tun, even if you come back to UMNO, I don’t think you can undo the damage that has been done. Then there is your age factor.
    Can you name me one person in your party leadership that is respected by all communities – truly scandal-free, clean, educated, and a moderate with capable qualities of leading this country forward?
    I do not see any, do you?
    Your legacy

  244. salam Tun & bloggers
    dah tak larat dgn racial issues, ISA, party lompat, party keluar, petrol naik, petrol turun sikit, rasuah, anak menantu, baba mertua dan macam-macam lagi….

  245. Dear Tun
    Ideally yes BN is still the preferred party looking at things
    Pak Lah is sinking the ship fast he is not going to step down
    this is the turning point for BN they will lose come the next
    general election.
    Can”t they read the rakyat sentiments out there the cost living is hurting lots of people what is the government doing I wonder.
    Like i said before the Pakatan can be formidable provided they
    kick Pas out of their coalition the non malays cannot accept
    their extreme ideologies only then they can match BN.
    Take care…

  246. Tun,
    As a 26 yr old, I myself believe that BN is still relevant, in which most of 26 yr old Malaysians would not agree with me. The reason why I believe the matter is because of my comprehensive knowledge of the history of Malaysia and based on your entry of the Social Contract, which I myself had only understood after reading the entry.
    I have a lot of non-Bumi friends and most of them are dissatisfied with the Special Rights of the Malay and how frustrated they are with the current leadership and political situation. But why blame them, if I was to be in their shoes, I would probably do the same. My justification is simple, I was born as Malaysian, I sing the same National Song, I chant the same National Principles, and I fight the same course and battle, but then why punish me only because I was born as a non-Bumi. Moreover, even the Malays are starting to reject the idea of the Special Rights. The two main reasons for this grievances to occur that I could think of were because of the poor leadership of the Bumi Prime Minister and the lack of understanding of the history of Malaysia and most importantly, the chapter that was not written in depth in the text book, the Social Contract.
    I feel that the leadership has failed to explain Malaysia and its future. If the current situation was to go on, I feel that Malaysia will fall back and apart. But I myself is in dilemma, of which that I strongly do not support the Opposition because of their objective, and which that I do not agree with the current leadership of BN. I am ashamed of the current political situation, which I feel that it is more of fighting for personal gain which mindfully allows them to manipulate, rather then fighting for the objective of the religion, nation and the people. I wonder what ever happened to our Parti Perikatan, where we had fought hand in hand for the right course and objective.
    Thus I will fight for the Malaysia that the people believed in, although 99% of my guts tell me that it would be hard, but there is still 1% hope that I will succeed, in which that I believe that it is my destiny, or at least die trying.

  247. Tun,
    I have long discussion with my best friend from Alor Star, Kedah just now. During coversation, he had express his disappoinment torward Malay behaviour politically until even shy became Malay. It sound so serious and too extreme I guess, but the facts is the current situation has make him be like that. It probably him alone who has that thinking, but I never believe that. Im sure there a lot of other Malays has that thinking right now, something has to be done soonest possible. For your information, he even has express his intention to migrate to New Zealand and not willing to be reconised as Malay.
    From my point of view, all this is due to Malaysian current political senario. The coruption precticised among BN politician especially and Opposition as well has make him feel sick. In many things I agreed with his opinion eventhought it sound to extreme to me. But as person who do really care about UMNO, BN and Malay especially we need to listen to his expresion, but this is not happen in UMNO currently.
    Therefore, I urged all Malays especially UMNO members from grassroot up till upper level especially most of UMNO leaders pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee askedddddddddddddddddd Dato’ Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi RESIGNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
    Becaused this is the only way we have to be back to what we should be.
    BUSTANUL BISTARI BEY

  248. TUN,
    BN now is like dod eat dog (chinese proverb). If there is no respect within the coalition, why outside party people would want to respect BN? Have a thought….

  249. I’d like to comment on the statement below:
    “7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.”
    Undeniably, this two-liner is written with some thought – the message and its order of appearance. While the second line is apparent, the first line is totally unfounded. It is such over-generalization by a great ex-PM that has the word “racism” written all over it. It’s implication can be profound. For it becomes self-fulfilling when read many a time and by many a people.
    As a responsible reader, I suggest a correction. Each race is not angry with the other. It is the rakyat that is angry with irresponsible and uncaring politicians.

  250. tun,
    saya mahu tun menjadi penasihat ekonomi malaysia untuk mengembali paras ekomoni balik kpd asal untuk mengelakkan krisis ekonomi baru dunia nak bermula sekali lagi sejak kejatuhan syarikat besar Amerika ..

  251. Dear Tun,
    Pak Lah akan TEGAS mempertahankan Jawatan Presiden UMNO. Diberitakan keputusan ini diambil susulan mesyuarat antara “loyalist” Pak Lah yang mendesak agar beliau mempertahankan JAWATAN Presiden UMNO.
    Mereka-mereka yang dipercayai mendesak Pak Lah kekal sebagai Presiden UMNO adalah Kahiry Jamaluddin, Alwi Che Mat serta Ahmad Zaki yang berjaya menyakikan Pak Lah bahawa sekurang-kurangnya 100 pencalonan akan pasti didapati oleh Pak Lah sebagai calon Presiden UMNO.
    Komen:
    Kalau betullah berita ini, maka jelas bahwa Pak Lah hanya mementingkan dirinya dan keluarganya. Kalau ahli-ahli akar umbi masih lagi termakan umpan maka ianya jelas memperlihatkan bagaimana ceteknya akal ahli-ahli UMNO.
    Anli-ahli UMNO masih cetek pemikiran mereka dan tidak matang berpolitik tidak seperti parti komponen lain macam MCA, Gerakan dan MIC yang sudah masak politik mereka. Ahli-ahli mereka lebeh kuat mementingkan perjuangan kaum mereka tetapi UMNO masih mementingkan perjuangan untuk mempertahankan pemimpin mereka, sungguhpun pemimpin mereka itu haprak dan HP6. Mereka masih lagi mempunyai sifat “belas kasihan” yang tak tehingga walaupun akhirnya mereka sedar akan membawa bencana kapada masyarakat kaum Melayu.
    Itu bezanya orang Cina dan India berpolitik bebanding dengan orang Melayu berpolitik. Selagi sikap ini tak berubah maka jangan harap UMNO dapat dipulihkan lagi. UMNO akan hancur dan rakyat akhirnya akan tinggalkan parti UMNO beramai-ramai untuk selama-lamanya dan menurun ke anak cucu mereka.
    Pak Lah has no more credibility. He does not get anymore respect from the rakyat. That is a fact. The rakyat will definitely make their decision NOT to support UMNO anymore next election if UMNO is not willing to change its weak leaders soonest.

  253. DEAR Shariff_5
    i think YOU should shut up!!!
    no one cares bout what u think!!!
    at least dear TUN have something knowledgeable and useful to say…
    BTW, HOW ARE YOU GONNA MEET ALLAH???
    thats MY question to you
    ikut sangat agen CIA tu
    kau BUTA macam mereka yg lain…

  254. Dear Tun,
    BN must not break up. BN is the best option for Malaysia even until now. BN needs a change of approach. BUT BN must stay together and work out the problems together.
    Pak Lah is not blind, Pak Lah is not deaf, Pak Lah is not dumb. Pak Lah knows what is going on. Pak Lah know that he has to step down to save UMNO, BN and ALL of Malaysia. However, as a PM he needs to have the space and time to step down gracefully and honourably.
    But Pak Lah, time is not on his side.
    Now Muhyddin had back tracked his earlier statement – Probably to give Pak Lah time to do the wise thing i.e. to step down. But the the damage is done.
    The grassroot is now ready for a change of leadership. They want to save UMNO and BN from disintegration.
    MCA, MIC, Gerakan and the fellow BN component parties are waiting on the wings and waiting for the UNMO grassroot to do what is RIGHT for BN and Malaysia.
    As a matter of fact ALL Malaysians who love peace, harmony, prosperity and progress are all looking at you the grassroots of UMNO to do the right thing for this Nation.
    The world is also look at Malaysia and waiting to see if UNMO grassroot will do the right thing.
    All UMNO grassroot members now you’ve got to look seriously at yourself and decide should you do the right thing! If not for UMNO or BN or Malaysia atleast for yourself.
    If there is not UMNO and no BN your life will be irrelevent, you will be past tense, you will be nobody and finally you will be penumpang in your own Tanah Air.
    Then where can you go – Singapore? or India? or China? or Bangladesh? or Philipines? or maybe Indonesia. Your future will be as bleak as the Bankrupt Lehman.

  255. Salam Tun,
    Saya rasa kita perlu memberi cadangan sekali kalau kita nak komen tentang sesuatu.
    Dalam kes AAB ramai sangat yang komen tapi saya belum dengar cadangan yang betul2 bernas.
    Tun mencadang kan AAB letak jawatan. Tapi sapa yang perlu menggantikannya?. Macam mana kita nak tau Najib atau Ku Li atau Muhyidin lebih baik, sama atau lebih parah?
    Saya percaya setiap yang berlaku ade sebab-musabab untuk kita fikir jauh kedalam lagi.
    Bukan setakat jatuhkan AAB tetapi kita kene fikir mcm mana AAB no 2 tidak naik tahta pulak lepas tu.
    Saya bersyukur pada Allah kerana mengurniakan tun sebagai pemimpin Malaysia selama 22 tahun. Terlalu banyak yang tun lakukan untuk Malaysia. Tapi saya fikir itu semua adalah tanggung-jawab tun sebagai pemimpin. ‘Nothing less any malaysian should do’
    Mungkin orang akan tanya kenapa AAB tak macam Tun? Apa perbezaan nya?
    Kalau kita interview sesiapa pun untuk jawatan PM semua akan jawab dan janji akan melakukan yang terbaik. Tetapi kenapa kalau dah dapat jawatan kadang2 tak seperti yang diharapkan?
    Saya fikir keikhlasan dan kejujuran lah yang penting. Takdanya ke2-2 element ini menyebabkan seseorang itu gagal melaksanakan tanggungjawab nya dengan berkesan. Dan rakyat Malaysia penat pulak lah nak menjatuhkan pemimpinnya lagi.
    Sekurang-kurangnya saya dan ramai rakyat Malaysia percaya Tun ikhlas dan pada Tun lah semua harapkan untuk melantik pengganti.
    Sekarang ni yang Tun pilih dulu tu tak menjadi! Tun kene fikir jugak kenapa begitu?
    Tun masih mempunyai pengaruh, cadangkan lah pemimpin untuk menggantikan AAB. Yakin kan semua yang Tun tidak melakukan kesilapan lagi. Promote lah pemimpin ini dengan strategi2 yang boleh menjayakan nya.
    Semua ahli UMNO dan kebanyakan rakyat setuju dah sekarang nie yang AAB perlu turun. Dia sendiri pun setuju yang dia kene turun! Unsur subversion tak timbul lagi.
    No need to fight with AAB. He is not even in your league. You are ex-PM and he is just the PM. I don’t think you are afraid of his power, do you? Trust me you yourself under estimate how much people would listen to you. You just need to talk at the right place(s) with the right message. ‘That is the least you can do for all Malaysian’. We all put our confident in you again now!

  256. keadaan politik sekarang sudah sangat kucar kacir
    dan saya sudah sangat meluat dengannya
    tambahan lagi isu makanan anjing yg diwarwarkan…
    tak pandai bersyukur langsung..
    bagi makan pedigree baru tau…

  257. Dear Tun
    Again I disgree with you that BN is still relevant.
    At one point I admire you for you were the unchallenged leader and you have made Malaysia known in the world. On the other hand, with all things look nice on the surface, the coalition led by you were spawning corruption, incompetency, cronism and discontent among races. It’s a can of worms. You had been spoon-feeding and you were spoiling them. You have to take equal responsibility for it’s current state. It just take an incompetent leader to expose that that.
    We will not forget how Hisham and KJ waved the Keris, and we will not forget Ahmad Ismail. We will not forget the words they utter about the Chinese..
    I paint a bleak future for BN. The cracks are appearing everywhere. The leaders incapable of leading the parties and the country. It’s a total lost of confidence. The component parties are splitting off. There is no more credibility. PKR does not even need to do much to promote but just let BN see to their death. Then PKR becomes the coalition, although weak there is non other. The people are not all too trusting of Anwar and his schemes. But it’s a calculated risk taken because after all there is no credibility with BN. The MPs jump ship and PKR takes the lead effortlessly. Even if that doesn’t happen, it will will happen then when BN faces a total loss in next general election and left with nothing but to cry and sulk.
    In the meantime, we have friends migrating. Ya.. If we don’t like the country, then we can just migrate isn’t it. So not only foreign investors are fleeing, Malaysian are fleeing too. If BN still leads, and UMNO still being as arrogant as ever, then you will have more people leaving. Then it is of no question that Malaysia is an Islamic state, UMNO can do all they want, say all they want. If that happens.

  258. Asslamualaikum TUN,
    My name is Azlan bin Samat@Samad
    Sandakan , Sabah, Kinabatangan.
    What a tremendous tensioning on racial blaming each other! Chinese fool on Malay! Malay Fool on Chinese! then triangle conflict goes to Malay , Chinese and Indian. Selective main issue pointing on weaknesses by Top leader – ( PM ). Weaknesses subjectively in many variety . And All in one , Failure . The most stupid that i ever had was advising people planting on their on side house! kang-kung? kacang? bendi? Economic forecasting only goes s**t by this fundamental thinking .

    SELAMAT HARI RAYA.

  259. Tun,
    BN is still relevant but need strong leaders. Unfortunately, PakLah is not good enough to be a candidate to lead BN. This frustrates many.

  260. Tun,
    correction!regarding Ahmad Ismail racist remark & Teresa ISA isu:
    “d malay angry to chinese & chinese angry to malay!”
    it’s not true !
    it should be “Umno’s Malay” who angry d chinese & chinese never angry d malays at all.
    d chinese only angry with Ahmad Ismail 1 person only & not angry him bcos he’s a malay BUT of his racist remark only.
    Tun,
    u r well respected & u bencikan DrSpin, so u pls don b 1 ! ok?

  261. Salam Tun,
    What makes us layman sick is the so called media statements by individuals or party branches, in support of the 2010 transition plan. They made themselves look dumb and deaf. Can’t they still hear the grassroots grouses? At this rate, I agree with a previous commentator that pro-UMNO/pro-BN folks are getting tired and sick of this rotten support for an incapable PM they might just leave UMNO & BN by the droves. And these lame individuals/party branche with no credibility, even have the neck to suggest other party branches to support the lame-duck PM! Please UMNO, weed out these rotten apples with their blind loyalties, and … “kickdafella” out.

  262. Good day to you Tun,
    Unity in BN ? Stop pointing finger? I don’t think so. Human behaviour tell one thing save yourself first. BN members are busy protecting their own interest. No one would stand up and fight for rakyat or even BN future. They just need to concentrate on how to suck rakyat hard earn money and leave this country if thing go wrong.
    I guess our mindset is still weak. We need great leader to guide us. If leader like to sleep, the whole nation will sleep. If the leader good, then we are good. This type of nation cannot last long. Why we have such weak nation? Because to remove AAB is like killing Hitler or Shi Huang Ti. Like that we call democracy. Better call it dictatorship because dictator setup their own rules but AAB is worst. He use ISA with no rules. He raise petrol prices like a dictator raise taxes. Dictator have no idea about economy. Dictator only know how to use army to rules. AAB is planning his way now. He did it. Congratulation Defence minister. I guess our children will be reading history AAB the great.
    I love peace. Definitely cannot find peace in dictatorship country.

  263. Salam Tun,
    I have learn a lot from reading your blog. At least, the version from the government point of view (from Tun as an ex-PM).
    I do agree with you that the Opposition may not be able to handle the racial problems as there is actually nothing to fall on in this issue. They had yet to show any framework or blueprint or model on how to tackle this problem. In fact, I do not think any of us do.
    However, I do not agree with you that BN is still the ideal coalition for Malaysia’s multi-racial population. BN had not done anything to create a Malaysian race.
    We had never try to improve our racial relationship even though all our national policies always had unity of the people in mind.
    We only show unity in both ends but not in the middle. We show our unity in the school children and unity in the top BN leaders.
    But in the middle, in the university, in the workforce, in giving out scholarship, in promotion of government positions, in giving out business licences, the common middle class people do not see any unity. We see racial policies.
    I think BN had only Malay unity, or Chinese unity or Indian unity in mind but never try to foster a Malaysian unity. Cooperation is not a unity.
    We still follow the British model, divide and rule in BN.
    So I do not think another legal law enacted will not create a united Malaysian. It only “taboolised” the subject.

  264. ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAH HI TAALA WABAROKATUH
    Yang dihormati lagi di sayangi Ayahanda Tun dan Bonda Siti Hasmah
    Benar seperti kata ayahanda. BN IS STILL RELEVANT BUT IT IS SIMPLY DUE TO VERY POOR AND INCOMPETENT LKEADERSHIP THAT BN IS ROCKING NOW
    AND ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING UP.
    Dahulu ,semua isu2 sensitif yang di anggap KERAMAT DAN TAK BOLEH DI PERBINCANGKAN kini telah di timbulkan kembali baik olih pihak
    pembangkang mahu pun pihak mca,mic,gerakan dsb.
    Isu2 seperti ISA juga hangat di perjuangkan olih bar council untuk di mansuhkan .hindraf dengan agenda2 karut nya.anwar ibrahim dan pkr dengan segala tipu muslihat nya demi hanya untuk menjayakan supaya anwar al juburi menjadi PM Malaysia.dap dengan motto nya “BY HOOK ORE BY CROOK” Malaysia tak boleh jadi Negara Islam dan pas pula dengan kealiman yang di tunjuk2kan dengan harapan agar Malaysia menjadi Negara Islam. GANJIL SUNGGUH PAKATAN RAKYAT NI.
    BETUI2 MACAM POMPUAN SIAM KAT DANOK THAILAND.BAR/KARAOKE DENGAN PEREMPUAN YANG SEPARUH TELANJANG SEBELAH MENYEBELAH DENGAN KEDAI MAKANAN ISLAM YANG POMPUAN NYA BERTUDUNG CANTIK.KAKI2 PENIPU DAN PEMBELIT PUN RAMAI JUGAK DI SANA -PKR LE TU.
    Kalau pemimpin2 BN ( BUKAN PEMIMPIN TERTINGGI YANG SEKOX TU) tahu bahawa pakatan rakyat ni nampak saja BERGABUNG TAPI TAK SEHALUAN DAN GOYAH DAN CURIGA MENCURIGAI ANTARA SATU SAMA LAIN
    tentu depa tau macamana nak buat kerja.
    TAK PERCAYA KALAU KATA MEREKA TAK PERCAYA ANTARA SATU SAMA LAIN?
    SAYA CABAR PEMIMPIN2 PAS ATAU AHLI2 NYA -bawak anwar ibrahim ke Kuala Trengganu dan suruh dia jadi IMAM SOLAT ZOHOR DI MASJID RUSILA dan tengok berapa ekox orang PAS yang akan jadi makmum-rasa2 nya sekox pun tak dak- PASAI APA? -TAKUT AL JUBURI.
    Boleh jadi kah pemimpin2 mca,mic ,gerakan dan lain2 nya CUBA NAK TIRU LANGKAH AYAHANDA TUN – TAK AKAN MASUK UMNO SELAGI pak lah tak letak jawatan .jadi di sini -TAK AKAN MASUK BN SELAGI pak lah TAK LETAK JAWATAN.

    WASSALAM

  265. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Scary to think about the present political and economic ‘turnmoil’.
    Many hints have been made verbally and in writing, and one request after another that AAB should step down. PLEASE THINK about the million Malaysians who don’t have millions in their bank accounts. They are the majority of the rakyat who voted for BN and to whom BN should be thinking about!!!
    Tun buat open house tak raya ni, teringin nak jumpa Tun.
    Stay healthy always.

  266. YAB Tun,
    Weak and incompetent leadership sums it up accurately but the failure of other leaders to act is also the cause that have made this mistake evolve into a deadly virus.
    I think the rakyat have done their part in the last General Election by giving the BN and its ridiculously ‘stubborn person’ who assume leadership position a very clear signal, in the hope that BN and this ‘stubborn person’ would get it.
    Now, it is clear apart for you and a few other voices;what the rakyat signalled did not mean anything.
    There remain only 3 likely outcomes :
    1. BN is toppled by the Opposition – in whatever way that may be..( who can guess anyway – with the BN in a shambles ,it can be terminated in more than a hundred ways)
    2. The rakyat wait until the next election and make the choice to end this mistake and most likely end BN rule.
    3. UMNO realise and admit to this mistake and take action immediately.
    Out of these three options…no.3 is highly unlikely now if UMNO leaders continue to refuse to face reality and act for the rakyat’s sake.
    What else can we expect my dear Tun?
    There is only one way to teach DS Abdullah to get the message and that is by removing him from office.
    He and all the current UMNO leaders are destroying the country and I just dont see any way out unless they wake up and act.

  267. Salam to the greatest PM in the world -Tun MM.
    I think enough is being said about the present situation in our country.Pak lah is not reading or listening and neither is DSAI giving up his ambition.Its the role of the rakyat now to take the que to make things happen.
    “Get up stand up,stand up for your rights.
    Get up stand up don’t give up the fight” -Bob Marley
    Fellow citizens lets stand behind Tun and make the difference!
    We are FED UP!
    Tun,may you be in the best of health always to give us your wisdom and direction for our beloved country.

  268. Dear Tun,
    I think your call for more unity now in BN is the only way and noble but I believe it is already too late.
    The damage done is too great. At the rate the component party like MCA, MIC and Gerakan is taking pot shots at UMNO can only mean that they no longer treat UMNO as their “big” brother”. They are now presenting their views more towards the racial tone of their own party interest and not BN’s interest.
    Clearly they are thinking of their party own survival so that they can bring back support that were lost in the last election. BN component party is being more racial than it ever was, so I dont think we can expect them to go back to the position prior to the election.
    It sad but true Tun, I really dont see how UMNO can gain the respect of their component members. Unless UMNO can produce another true leader like you TUN…it’s all over for BN. It may still exist in form but the substance will never be the same.

  269. Akum TUN berdua,
    semoga sihat dan dilindungi Allah sentiasa.
    Tun,
    Saya bersetuju dengan pendapat Tun bahawa BN dan konsepnya masih relevan, namun pemimpin yang sedang berkuasa kini telah merosakkan imej BN dimata rakyat dengan memesongkan fakta dan menyimpang jauh dari matlamat asal.
    Tun, saya juga bersetuju dengan pendapat ramai pihak hanya Tun yang dapat memulihkan imej BN dengan memimpin kembali BN seperti dahulu dan memperbaiki segala kepincangan yang ada. Saya amat berharap agar Tun dapat segera mengembleng kekuatan jentera penggempur dari segenap peringkat UMNO agar dapat menyahkan petualang-petualang yang bermaharaja lela didalam UMNO kini yang telah merosakkan payung keramat Orang Melayu itu. Dan semua ini harus dilakukan demi survival ketuanan Melayu dibumi ini.
    Tun, saya amat berharap pada pemilihan UMNO kali ini, ahli-ahli UMNO dapat bersatu menolak pemimpin2 yang telah mengkhianati perjuangan bangsa Melayu agar UMNO kembali gagah dalam perjuangan yang masih belum selesai.
    Tun, saya sebenarnya amat berharap dan berterima kasih kiranya dapat berbicara dan mendapat nasihat dari Tun melalui e-mail memandangkan saya amat2 mengagumi Tun dan menjadi impian saya sejak dulu agar dapat berbicara dengan Tun. Namun saya faham saya hanya lah rakyat marhain.
    Akhir kata, Hidup Tun, Hidup Pejuang Bangsa

  270. Yang Berbahagia Tun,
    Total agreement with your views. Barisan is still the best solution for this country and Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat is not even a logical alternative.
    However, for Barisan to come together quickly and sort things out NOW before it’s too late,reguires strong and competent leadership at the very top. We simply dont have this at the moment!!
    UMNO is the big brother in the Barisan and I am sure all the other components are waiting to see what will take place at this November’s party election. It requires a Tsunami within Umno to ensure that it remains a relevant and leading party within the Barisan.
    We have to have nothing less than a new PM and DPM to avoid further disaster to the well being of our beloved country.
    Selamat Hari Raya to Tun and family.God Bless!

  272. Dear Tun,
    To solve all this problem is for the leading BN component party ie UMNO should go back to BASIC. UMNO grassroot members should be willing to make drastic changes to their party structure and leadership. As it is now the leadership of UMNO under Pak Lah is incapable to get the respect from the grassroot members of his own party what more the rest of BN component parties. That is the reality!
    Get rid of Pak Lah and all those DEADWOOD leaders like Mat Tyson, Tengku Adnan, Anuar Musa and the rest of his haprak and HP6 konco-konco who have been overstaying their welcome within UMNO hierarchy.
    If this not changed then I am afraid you will see UMNO will soon become a “mosquito” party.

  273. mic perlu perubahan. berapa lama datuk seri samy nak jadi presiden. di peringkat bahagian pun semua pemimpin adalah orang-orangnya. masa untuk berubah sudah tiba

  274. Tun,
    Apa yang Tun kata memang ada betuinya tapi sejak Paklah naik, sorang2 ahli UMNO tunjuk kepala hinggakan rakyat nampak terang tang tang perangai buruk mereka, isi hati mereka malah rasuah yang mereka terima. Dengan adanya dunia Internet, macam2 cerita baru rakyat mengetahui dengan mudah dan cepat.
    Masa zaman Tun dulu, kebijaksaan Tun membuatkan BN dalam keadaan yang sangat selamat sebagai kerajaan. Paklah tidak memiliki kebijaksaan macam Tun.
    Mungkin sebab Tun seorang mamak dan sudah tentu dalam diri Tun wujud perasaan sebagai seorang pemimpin pelbagai kaum. Tun jaga semua dan semua puas hati, tidak wujud perasaan benci sesama, wujud tolak ansur dan wujudnya pelbagai kaum tidak menjadi isu.
    Paklah seorang Melayu asli, dan dia tidak berfikiran sebagai seorang pemimpin untuk rakyat pelbagai kaum. Dia lebih buyers terhadap Melayu, tengok kes Ahmad Ismail cukuplah. Sudah jelas yang Paklah seorang buyers. Kalau time Tun dulu, awal2 lagi dah masuk dalam tp Paklah pula biarkan dia menyalak macam anjing hinggakan makin kemarahan makin menegang.
    Itu saja coretan hati saya untuk artikel ini. Terima kasih Tun
    P/S: Adakah Tun seorang berdarah MAMAK??? Jelaskanlah Tun… If you dare enough….
    Mohamed Ismail Kamarul Jaman

  275. Salam Tun and bloggers,
    Yes. BN IS relevant to Malaysia’s survival – same as said to the other parties.
    But what Ahmad has done, has sparked a civil war, in terms of politics.
    What happened to the Chinese MP FURTHER added oil to the fire.
    All for political reasons and gain.
    It is not fair to us, the rakyat. We are suffering the effects of the unnecessary and pointless bickering of the politicians.
    Malaysia is falling, because of internal war fare.
    Yours sincerely.

  276. by: Tun Mahathir
    “The Ringgit is depreciating and may shrink further. The cost of living has shot up.
    Businesses are having a hard time already. The recent decision to tax excess profits of the
    Independent Power Producers has caused foreign investors and locals too to lose
    confidence. The tax has now been withdrawn but not for the first year. This alone would put
    the IPPs in trouble with their banks.”

    Assalamualaikum Tun…
    Our country economic condition can be in the worst condition and tremendous disaster if
    the minister or related parties…
    1. Looking down on all experienced individuals.
    2. Not following the wise and well-structured development ‎plan.
    3. Over-emphasis on peripheral issues (not important, stupid, moron, side or useless issues).
    4. The administration’s countless problems with many of the ‎country’s institutions.
    5. AND A FEW THAT THEY CAN LOGICALLY THINKING!!!!
    p/s: Im a software engineering student and never relate or majoring in finance courses but
    aaa… Cant our leaders / ministers use the logically thinking instead of being BRAINLESS???!!!!

  277. Dear Tun,
    Great! You do the right thing now to inspire the BN component parties to unite. BN is still relevant, although somne reform is necessary.

  278. salam Tun yg hormati,tun saya pun tak faham dgn 13 bahagian umno p.pinang yg menyokong pak lah lembap 100 peratus,apakah mereka tak faham maksud seluruh rakyat malaysia yg tolak kepimpinannya semasa pr12.Inilah manusia2 yg jaga kepentingan diri sendiri dan keluarga tanpa kira perasan ahli2 akar umbi.Lagi satu yg saya tak falam dgn Pak najib ini pakar ekomomi baru kita yg mengatakan tambatan ringgit tidak perlu dilaksanakan dimasakini dan masa hadapan sungguh hebat… sepatuhnya membuat kajian dahulu dan berjumpa Tun, pegawai2 yg hebat-hebat 1998,ini tidak seperti meyelesaikan masalah keluarga bukan masalah Negara,teringat juga saya seperti keputusan jambatan bengkok,inihari boleh besok tak boleh kena badi pak lah ke…. Kepada pak najib kerusi empuh dikementerian kewangan adalah khasana rakyat setiap sen itu adalah amanah.

  279. Dear Tun ,
    You really have the magnet.
    It’s gifted by the Almighty GOD.You are lucky because of being selected an awarded with the magnet.
    See you @ PWTC on this date 16.12.08.Many of the grassroots would prefer to hear your voice and share your thoughts.
    Take Care

  280. Tun,
    Breaking news, akhirnya Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim berjaya mendapatkan 30 kerusi tambahan dari negeri Sabah pada jam 8.00 malam tadi………
    Tapi semua kerusi tersebut ialah sumbangan Chan Funrniture sempena promosi HARI RAYA…..(DSAI belum layak lagi dpt kerusi parlimen)
    Hehe minta maaf kalau mengganggu ya
    Selamat berpuasa, semoga Tun sihat sentiasa di samping keluarga tercinta…Saya sentiasa sokong Tun…

  281. Assalamualaikum Tun.
    Sesuatu yang menarik berlaku dengan suasana politik negara pada masa kini.
    Beberapa minggu yang lepas saya baru membaca sebuah buku yang saya beli pada 1998.Tapi tak habis-habis baca pun.Baru sampai separuh.Di situ saya mengenali satu perkataan baru bagi saya.Conceal.
    Pada dasar ekonomi dalaman Malaysia terdapat satu ‘conceal move’ yang mana semua orang tahu.Sabah dan Sarawak menyumbang kepada kemenangan BN.Dan di situ jugalah Anwar dan sekutunya mencari makan.
    Perlunya pemikiran baru tentang konsep BN dan kita akan lihat siapa yang akan mendapat keuntungan.
    Pada saya jika MCA benar-benar ingin keluar dari BN,dipersilakan.Ekonomi dan politik Malaysia akan tetap baik walaupun bukan untuk masa sekarang.
    Terima kasih Tun.

  282. slmt berbahgia tun sekelurga,
    saya dah baca hampir sepuluh commen didalam blog ni,
    saya juga setuju dengan banyak pandangan mereka semua.
    kami rakyat malaysia melayu merasakan apa yg akan terjadi akan datang cukup merisaukan anak cucu semua.
    saya berpendapat semua orang melayu khasnya orang umno menghayati rukunnegara dan lagu negara ku tiap tiap hari dan insyallah akan terbit perasaan sayang dan menghargai kemakmuran yang kita nikmati selama ini,
    sekira nya kita tidak bersatu dan sentiasa berbalah, kita akan dapat menjadi melayu yg lemah dan politik yg akan memerintah datang akan mensasarkan sama rata. kita akan kalah dalam semua pekara jika melibatkan semua kaum.mungkin kalah sebelum bertanding.
    harap sama sama bangkit

  284. Dearest Tun,
    I don’t believe that Pakatan Rakyat n Anwar is even an option for Malaysia.
    The best thing to do is to revive Barisan Nasional.
    Tugas berat skrg ini terletak pada bahu ahli-ahli UMNO n BN.
    Mereka mampu dan perlu buat perubahan dan desak perubahan dgn segera.
    Rakyat bukan politik hanya punyai jalan undi sahaja untuk lakukan perubahan dan jalan itu tidak akan datang sehingga 4 tahun lagi.
    Kita semua rakyat harus memberikan idea untuk menyelamatkan negara kita.
    Bukankah ini negara kita bersama juga?
    Janganlah kita sibuk menuding jari sehingga terlepas pandang pihak2 yg mengambil kesempatan.

  285. Dear Shariff_5,
    Please don’t be rude. Not malay like. It’s Tun’s blog, he can say whatever he wants. Do not come in if you do not like it.

  286. BN is the political Alibaba business operated by UMNO against Chinese and Indians. The minorities have no real power, although they have the names, but all tiny, given by UMNO. In real, the good ones should become the ministers and so on, not decided by the race.
    If you need more Chinese ministers and you don’t have Gerakan and MCA, go and pick up all those MPs from SUPP. In this case,one stone serves many purposes because it satisfies the Chinese under this Alibaba business and it also throws out the claim that East Malaysia has been marginalised. You may have to answer to this claim because you have not done anything to correct the problem, but escalate the marginalisation when you were holding the great power.
    I hope that the racism in governing that is the basis of BN should not continue. BN should break apart such that people will look for new concept in managing this country, for a better tomorrow.

  287. Dear Tun and warga chedet,
    1) BN was formed base on multi racial component parties. It has been a formula of success to handle a multi racial country and economy. We do enjoy great success for the past 46 years and regression in the past 5 years. In this 51 years we learnt a lot and getting smarter. We know what we want.
    2) BN has come to this stage not that the Malay was angry with the Chinese or Chinese angry with the Malay. It is maily due to the OLD MINDSET + CORRUPTION. All this tension is politically motivated for personal gain, just like the previous May 13. You should know better than us Tun. UMNO should bear the responsibility of BN down fall and not the Rakyat. UMNO is too corrupted. I hope you can clean it up before your son take over. If not UMNO will be in Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah as a party who failed the rakyat.
    3) Malaysia need to go through a reform (No choice). During this reform process everyone will get hit and we have to come out from the comfort zone and compete with rest the world. Proton (your baby) is a good example of protectionalism and favoritism. Now Proton can’t even compete with the Korean made. At one point we are on par with them, now they are ahead of us. The world has changed, Malaysian must be united and stop wasting time politicking.
    4) Malaysian politicians and rakyat need to change, or else we will be left behind. Look at the developed nations, they do have 2 parties system that will check on each other. So all policies made are after debates and consensus. Stop using Politic for Personal Gain.
    STOP USING RACE CARD TO HIDE CORRUPTIONS FOR PERSONAL GAINS

    SELAMAT MENYAMBUT RAMADHAN DAN SELAMAT MENYAMBUT AIDILFITRI KEPADA SEMUA BLOGGER DAN RAKYAT MALAYSIA..

  293. TUN,The damage was created by the Mahathir administration. When he came in, he had no understanding of the workings of the civil service, unlike the previous PMs who were all civil servants or former civil servants. Mahathir just dispensed with their advice. He wanted to do everything according to his own standards and civil servants were marginalised. They were under threat. They felt threatened, very senior people were demoted. They became de-motivated.

  294. TUN,Twenty-two years of Mahathir’s administration has done considerable damage to every important national institution. Emasculated completely the judiciary, the police, the AG’s chambers, the ACA, which claimed they were independent but we all knew they were not independent

  295. 1. 20 years ago when we talk about Kelantan,Penang,Perak,Kedah,KL and Terengganu may drop to opposition, many people do not believe it and said it is “miracle” to happen.
    2. When voters gave the state seat to Opposition, they will always consider and reserve the parliament seat to BN. Because a strong government is needed to govern this multi-racial country.
    3. In 2008 Election, may be because of the failure to understand the voters feeling and may be with a bit over-confident. “Miracle” happened.
    4. Many still do not believe the voters would “dare” to give the Parliament seat to opposition. This situation never happen before.
    5. Malaysia been enjoying the harmony and stability because of strong Government. It is not a ” miracle”. hope voters could understand this point.

  296. assalamualaikum tun,
    1. rakyat asyik menyalahkan pemimpin jika ada sesuatu yang tidak mereka fahami. Mereka cuma nampak apa yang di depan mata tanpa cuba untuk menganalisa dahulu keputusan seseorang pemimpin.Peristiwa ini selalu berlaku dalam masyarakat kita terutama sekali orang melayu. keupayaan untuk menganalisa sesuatu itu amat kurang menjurus kepada rusuhan, tidak kepuasan hati dan sebagainya. Saya jenis anak muda yang berfikiran berlandaskan logik akal dan analatikal untuk menyelesaikan masalah saya. Jika orang melayu dapat melihat dari sudut tun ketika membuat sesuatu keputusan itu maka baru lah mereka akan menghargainya. dengan pendirian ini lah saya tetap pertahankan tun jika sesiapa soalkan kejayaan dan keputusan tun selama ini.
    2. negara kita memang pelbagai kaum jadi memang lumrah yang kita ini bersifat perkauman jadi perlu ada parti seperti UMNO,MCA dan MIC untuk mewakili suara kaum masing-masing. Parti multi-racial seperti PR ini hanya akan bertahan seketika kerana kepopularitian Mr. AI tetapi akan timbul kesulitan seperti ketidak fahaman tentang agama, budaya dan adat di antara kaum itu sendiri yang akan membawa kepecahan kepada PR itu akhirnya walau pun dewasa ini penyokong PR berpendapat ia boleh di lakukan.
    3.Kefahaman antara kaum ini telah pun dicapai dalam BN selama ini tetapi akhir-akhir ini hancur akibat kepimpinan yang lemah yang ditunjukkan oleh Mr AB. Sepatutnya Mr. AB lebih banyak berkomunikasi dengan tun untuk mendapat nasihat dan pandangan kerana tun mempunyai pengalaman menjadi perdana menteri. Bukan nya dengar cakap orang yang tak berpengalaman. NI sikap orang melayu jugak ni..bodoh sombong..
    4. Konsep politik BN adalah yang terbaik untuk malaysia tetapi orang yang didalamnya yang patut dicantas keluar supaya tunas yang baru tumbuh dan dapat di bentuk semula. Bukan ambik jalan mudah dengan mengantikannya dengan PR yang konon-konon nya adil lah sangat.. telus lah sangat sampai nak rasuah orang terang-terang pun rakyat halalkan.. BODOH sangat orang sekarang ni.
    buat tun.. selamat berbuka puasa.. wassalam

    Dear Tun Mahathir,
    I think that somewhere down the line – Malaysian Malays have become 2 distinct groups. One supports racialism etc while the other, liberal, English-educated lot prefers a non-ethnic approach to politics.
    From my vantage point in Singapore, I think the BN must be sensitive to these changes in perceptions, aspirations, values etc. Rapid industrialisation leads to many social changes. The BN cannot use a one-size-fits-all formula. I say it again – while racialism has benefitted the Bumiputeras – I don’t think the Non-Muslims are happy with it as they tend to lose out by the practice of racialism.
    Malaysians have to be mature enough to realise the major changes taking place in their society. For BN to stay relevant – is precisely to question the current dogma of race-based politics. Otherwise the BN really will become irrelevant…
    Finally – some readers here cannot accept frank and honest feedback. Too bad. The truth may hurt – but it still remains the truth……I speak my mind freely and without hesitation.
    Best Regards
    Dr Syed Alwi Ahmad

  298. Salam hormat buat Tun Dr.M dan keluarga,
    Lain padang lain belalang
    Belalang kunyit warnanya kuning
    Bila menang sahabat dijulang
    Bila kalah jari ditunding
    Bunga raya mekar di laman
    Padi huma batas bertingkat
    Sejarah lalu jadikan pedoman
    Malaysia unik kerana muafakat
    Penat bersawah badan pun letih
    Setiap hari tulang dibanting
    Buang yang keruh ambil yang jernih
    Di dalam BN kembali berganding
    ARIELSYAH

  299. It is sad to see what has happened to malaysia political scene and economic situation due to poor leadership in the ruling party.
    YAB Bhg Tun, it is my sincere wish that you can come back to help our malaysian be it chinese,malay or indian. We need you. We need an experience leader to steer us out from this round of stormy political situation which certainly affecting our daily lives now.
    wish you all the best Tun

  300. Salam sejahtera YAB Tun,
    I remember when UMNO diharamkan in 1987, Tun opened the present NEW UMNO. So may be we should haramkan UMNO now and Tun can open a NEW UMNO again. As it is Pak Lah seems to be all too powerful even for Tun, it is better to replace UMNO with a new party by Tun. I am sure Tun will get 90% of present UMNO members joining Tun’s new UMNO. With that all the problems will be solved. BN can be re-invented using another name with the exclusion of Pak Lah’s UMNO. In 1987, all BN parties gave their support to Tun’s NEW UMNO and accepted your leadership under new Umno without any question. This can be repeated again this time for the sake of the nation.
    Why Tengku Razaleigh, Muhyidin and Dato Seri Najib have to tow the line and wait for the nation moving back 10 years economically before taking over the ruins from Pak Lah. People’s interest come first and that is to have a new PM from BN which seems to be so far away.
    I am very sure all BN component parties including SAPP will come back and resuscitate as Tun advised in the new BN. Tun walking out of UMNO without opening a new BN leadership party has kept Pak Lah longer in power and also more peace without your threat within his UMNO. All BN MPs would have still switched to Tun’s new BN as now they are rumuored to be switching to PR! Poor BN MPs are left with not much choice.
    Selamat berpuasa.

  301. Salam Tun,
    Posting Tun selama ini telah memberikan idea baru dan pandangan yang membina. Ingin saya mencadangkan agar Tun menghasilkan sebuah buku yang memuatkan segala posting Tun agar rakyat Malaysia yang tidak mempunyai kemudahan internet dapat juga berkongsi bersama hasil cetusan minda Tun seperti buku Tun “Dr. Mahathir’s Selected Letters to World Leaders”.
    Hasil jualan buku tu nanti boleh juga Tun sumbangkan sedikit kepada SAPP kerana mereka yang pertama mengikut nasihat Tun… Hehe!
    Selamat Berbuka Puasa kepada Tun dan sekeluarga!

  302. Akum Tun, Kita memerlukan seorang P>M yang amanah ,bolih fikir untuk rakyat bukan keluarga sendiri ,tak suka tidur berlebihan hingga tak tau apa dah jadi menantu hantu pulak menjadi PM

  303. Hi Tun,
    1. BN is no longer relevant in the sense of building the Nation nor Unity.
    2. BN has loss their causes in their own leadership arrogance.
    ( Leadership by arrogance and rhetoric was founded by the previous PM)
    3.BN can no longer be a torchbearer of the faith of Rakyat as long as it do not practise Justice. (Because they dont know the meaning.)
    4. Not sure why you are fighting a loosing battle. Since Tun was one of the reason BN has been weakened.
    5. Why dont Tun for once repent for your mistake. THough you don have to admit it publicly but you can just move on with your life rather than try to impose your minority idea to the majority people who rejects it.
    Thank you. Just setting the record straight.

  304. The power of Abdullah casts fear among the UMNO members. There a lot talks about hoping for him to step down. The only hope for a revival of BN comes from UMNO. Only UMNO members could do this because their objective is complete and clear. Therefore, a strong force is needed either in a person or a group of very well understood people is needed. DO WHATEVER IT TAKE BY THE RIGHT WAY TO PROTECT OUR RELIGION AND RACE. Other big components seems wants to take an advantage of this situation. Probably, there are intentions to resuscitate BN. However, how could they not resist the temptation of absolute freedom ? A possibility they probably thought impossible in their life because UMNO the ruling party was so strong. But the situation now is different. UMNO is weak and the leader is in denial. Nobody will notice that they are not making a real effort. Actually, they had been doing that like this since forever but it doesn’t matter because UMNO was strong. The oppurtunity of abolishing ‘ hak keistimewaan melayu’ is this. They are certainly economically most stable as far as their race is concern and most likely able to survive. Pushing for their ambition is more rewarding and worth a try. As long as a person or a group is not able to do this, then the Bumiputras must be ready. They must equip themselves as fast as they possibly could with the right attitude, values and their own strength for survival. Because, prepare for denial of your own race and religion in your own country just like what is happening in Singapore. When that happens, our religion is pushed aside in our daily lives. Please pray hard that somebody could help build this nation in balance once again where the poor and weak are not slaves of the rich and powerful. Most importantly, Where ISLAM could be fully practiced.Work hard, pray hard, built strength and STAY TOGETHER TO PROTECT OUR RELIGION AND RACE !!

  305. Assalamualaikum,
    Saya bersetuju dengan Tun menyatakan BN adalah yang terbaik dalam menegakkan negara berbilang bangsa. Parti yang terbaik.
    Tapi rakyat sudah tidak mahu parti yang begitu teruk akhlaknya.
    BN terbaik kerana tiada perbandingan dapat dibuat. PR pula tidak dianggap baik di peringkat persekutuan kerana ia tidak pernah memerintah, sebab itu rakyat hendak pilih PR kerana ia ingin melihat ke tahap mana PR boleh memerintah. Tun hanya bercakap mengunakan andaian, mengatakan PR tidak mampu, tapi pernahkah kita melalui ketidakmampuan itu. BN telah melaluinya, bukan satu percaturan rakyat, tapi ia lebih dari satu harapan. Biar wujud satu persaingan untuk menjadi baik. Tidak perlu rakyat didedahkan tentang “perbandingan yang bodoh”. Bandingkan dengan yang ada bukan yang tiada.
    Saya rasa kalau di tanya majoriti sekarang siapa yang mendapat sokongan rakyat. Mungkin itu bukan satu yang soalan yang ingin Tun jawab. kerana berdasarkan apa yang diceritakan diatas oleh Tun telah menjelaskan segalanya. Tapi mampukah TUN, UMNO & BN menjawab secara jujur soalan tersebut. Tapi saya tahu, Tun amat yakin dapat mengubang sokongan rakyat. Saya ucapkan semoga berjaya.
    Ingatlah, sesuatu kaum itu tidaklah susah bagi Tuhanmu untuk menukarkan dengan kaum yang lain. Pepatah Hang Tuah tidak sehebat Ayat-ayat Allah. Sajak Tun tidak seindah Al-quran.
    Kami rakyat bukanlah seperti Tun, terperangkap dalam satu perti(walaupun dah keluar) kami rakyat tidak hanya melihat satu parti sahaja, tidak pula melihat dari satu sudut, kerana itu yang kami belajar dari kecil. lihatlah dari semua sudut. dimana lebih kebaikannya Dan disitulah sokongan kami. Kami tidak meminta untuk mengubah sokongan kami dengan duit atau harta tapi tunjukkankanlah jalan kebenaran. Satu pesanan, kalau Tun ingin membuka keburukan orang(Paklah), tapi dapatkah kami memaafkan keburukan Tun(kalau ada) selepas itu, silalah kami nie rakyat Tun yang pemaaf, tak suka saman menyaman, kalau orang pukul kami senyum ja.
    (Saya baru baca 13 Mei (part 3) kat Malaysia todays, nice history article, should be qoute into secondary school history subject)
    Hanya pendapat seorang rakyat.

  306. Dear Tun,
    We have given the Barisan 50 years and with all the problems now,it is TIME FOR CHANGE.Malaysians,by far and large have changed and are more aware of the happenings around them and in the country.
    The country needs NEW MANAGEMENT(and that is not one person only) but the whole lot of them!
    If it dosent work out we can always change again!This country cannot be destroyed in one term of a new Government.That I am sure of.

  307. Dear Tun,
    I am sure BN can regain the rakyat’s support and trust. However, looking at the current situation, BN is not making any move to improve the situation. They are seem just waiting for the opposition to make their move. I am sure Tun, you are still influential and can contribute much to the strength of the coalition. My hope is the current leader will accept you back, consolidate all the parties within BN, create a new understanding and common target to be achieved by the country in handling the current economic problem and to tackle the problem faced by the rakyat.

  308. Dear Tun,
    The problems facing the nation are many and truly it is sad that you are unable to enjoy your retirement and even sadder to see that all your efforts are being ridiculed and scorned.
    However I for one take heart that you are still so concerned of this country you love and hope that you will be able to engineer a coup to fix BN before BN is no more. Of course hopefully whoever you assist will be much better and stronger leader (as i think anyone can be a bit better or even a lot better).
    I think you should blog on the viability not just of BN but also of the component parties. To have a leader so blatantly clinging on to power despite the huge election defeat cannot be good for the coalition. The voters voted for change and yet see more of the same, next election they would then be forced to throw the baby out with the bath water. The thinking of giving the opposition a chance to govern the country is getting ever stronger. I for one believe it is misguided as such turbulent economic waters that we are heading for calls for a strong and stable government in which the people are united behind and support fully, and yet this is not forthcoming and all hope seems lost. Therefore the fire of the opposition burns ever brighter while the flames of BN is being doused by their own people.
    PS : I am very happy to see that you do read the comments of your postings. Though most of those who read your posts are supportive of your cause and therefore a lot is preaching to the converted.

  309. Salam Tun,
    I am very dissapointed with Najib. I thought he would take a drastic measures in dealing with the current turmoil but he did NOTHING!!
    Today, I withdraw my support for him if there is any left with me.
    Frankly Tun, I just do not know what is going to happen to this country.
    But one thing, I will not give up easily as you really inspire me not to.
    Tun, I have read Ku Li statements recently and I must say that I have lot of doubt for this man.
    I hope Allah will guide us all to the right path. Insyallah. Amin

  312. By Shariff_5 on September 22, 2008 4:53 PM
    3. Have you ever think about how are you going to meet Allah?
    4. C’mon Tun…this is not the time for you anymore… why die while hated… be smart, be wise….
    Shariff,
    Those were the most kurang ajar statements ever. Are you God now to judge Dr. M? How the hell do you know Dr.M is so evil that he needs to prepare himself to face God- Harakah told you so?Hated by whom? Folks like you ?Then he must done a good job for pissing you guys off.
    damn…our people are becoming more and more kurang ajar when they can speak without showing their face.

  313. Dear Tun, When u were PM, the subordinates dare to open their mouth against your policies, now the situation became opposite, everybody talking about the PM’s job, this shows how week is Mr.Badawi. Neither Mr.Najib can correct these persons in future i suppose. Malaysia needs ur strength and advice immediately, racial comments are free flowing now, not good for the countries image, please take charge.
    Im from India, hope malaysian politicians wont become like indian one…

  314. Dear Tun,
    Re: You are the reason BN/UMNO is finished
    You are wrong again. The truth is that – but you will never accept it – the defeat of UMNO was merely postponed to March 2008 from 2004 (when Pak Lah had a landslide victory). If you had led BN in the 2004 GE you would have lost even worse than in 2008 and would have been decimated. You forget how hated you were by the Malays (I haven’t), who considered you the Great Pharoah, remember?
    The people were sick of Mahathirism and its corruption, cronyism, oppression and racism. The people of all races wanted to believe that Pak Lah would be different and would put an end of Mahathrism and so they gave him the opportunity (as only generous Malaysians can) with the landslide. But, alas, Pak Lah failed us all because he is weak. But the real reason March 2008 happened was because Pak Lah failed to end Mahathirism as promised, he did not do anything new to be hated. He continued your policies of corruption, cronyism, oppression and racism and that is what has brought him down. You are the cause, Tun.
    So the ultimate fault is yours alone. Who cares about ICQ, half bridge and other discontinued mega projects of yours? No one, only you!
    You are the culprit who destroyed UMNO/BN and history will record it as such despite your bitter attempt at historical revisionism.
    LJ

  315. Dear TUN,
    I agree that BN is still the viable route for all in Malaysia; though the execution part may have to fine-tune according to times. I hope leaders of all parties could sit down together and work out the best routes to take; taking cognisant of the sensitivities of all communities. GIVE and TAKE attitute AND respecting each other for the good of nation building together. Let there be fair play.
    I think the call by the Minister of Trade today is very important; if parties in UMNO do not recognised that we may actually see the end of UMNO and BN (in power) come the next GE. Speaking as a concerned citizen and one that supports BN, if the leaders do not hear the voices on the ground and bring reforms and damage control SOON (and AAB still in denial mode), will be disastrous to say the least. Act now before it’s too late!!!!
    Take care TUN, your suggestion to re-peg is thrown out by the DPM and Bank Governor – I hope they are right! God bless you.

  316. Dearest Tun,
    >>>4. Where before all parties avoided raising sensitive issues in public, now in the name of democracy and liberalism sensitive issues are brought up in which the component parties of the BN make known the differences in their view. The result is to widen the divide separating the BN component parties.>>>
    These issues are always in the community. At any instance, the gulf between the races can be narrow or wide, depending on the issues prevailing at that moment. All races, including their leaders, have worked hard to ensure racial harmony is not disrupted.
    >>>5. When Ahmad Ismail made unpalatable remarks about the Chinese, it was made out that it was the view of UMNO itself. Far from denying it, the UMNO leadership accepted the blame and apologised. This solved nothing as the Chinese parties refused to accept the apology but demanded the culprit himself should apologise.>>>
    Tun, from my conversations, many perceive there are many “Ahmad Ismails” in UMNO. Your pohon maaf 1 also did not distance yourself from “Ahmad Ismail” according to some.
    >>>8. Threats to leave the BN are made by the Chinese parties, not just because of Ahmad’s refusal to apologise but also because of the impression that they are subservient to UMNO. They believe that the failure of Chinese voters to vote for them was due to this junior position they hold in BN. To correct this impression they found it necessary to take pot shots at UMNO and defy the BN leadership.>>>
    Wonder why the Chinese voters should feel like so. Maybe there is some truth in their perception?
    >>>9. Privately UMNO, MCA Gerakan and MIC express their dislike of Dato Seri Abdullah and his Premiership. But none seem willing to acknowledge that it was dislike for Abdullah which caused the BN to lose the support of the people. Instead they picked on the parties and blame each other.>>>
    Quite the contrary. Many put great hope on AAB but were disappointed. Some blamed AAB but many blamed the party that he inherited too. Perhaps, a combination of these 2 in various proportions.
    >>>20. There must be some new thinking on the BN concept. But the basic premises about close collaboration between the parties, about the need to help each other, to accommodate and deal with grouses together should be maintained.>>>
    BN should change. UMNO should change. The relationship between the component parties should be more equitable based on fairness and reasonableness. To not change is to ensure BN’s own demise through implosion from within.
    Yours Respectfully.

  317. Salam buat Tun,
    Actually Tun, only the politician are bickering with each other…but we, people outside here are still in good relationship with each other…just have a good walk at the bazzar ramadhan…see for yourself….
    We need a leader with good fighting spirit to work for the people to manage this country. But sad to say…there’s non in the present government. All they are doing are for their own benefit and less effort to change and upgrade the PEOPLE standard of living…we would like to move forward. Worst still, there’s not an effort to take care of the younger generations, – criminal amongst the young people and even children are on the increase – such as killing and raping. Scary isn’t it? Majority of them have less respect for the elders and pathetic level of morality. Cannot imagine the kind of future our chidren will have???!!!
    Crime rates are on the increase, almost all housing area wants to be gated and guarded. Walking at night alone to Pasar Malam is not even safe nowadays. No offence to the foreigners, but some of them does not respect the locals.
    Treating every race equal??…then there should only be one National school, one language but all info and teachings about other races cultures and language can be taught in the same school for the benefit of all.
    When one race is given extra privilege or business opportunity , its obivious they will share it with their own race and to improve their networking. Be it Malay, Chinese or Indian…its all the same. They will of course help their own race. And what is unique about here in Malaysia, almost all race are in good position, which is some are richer than the rest and some are poorer than others. That’s life! What is important is to have peace and tolerate with each other needs.
    So, the present leaders, do you think you have done enough to solve and improve all the above. This is for you to ponder and decide and take action before its too late.
    P/S – just to side track a bit:-
    No one should interfere with other religion or even comment. It’s an insult and one should just take care of their own religion. Who are we to judge other people religion. Let those who are qualified and master the religion discuss and debate about it to come to aan agreement.This is important for the country stability and harmony.
    Wassalam, have a good “berbuka puasa” Tun….

  318. Salam Tun,
    Komentar saya yang lepas kena ban ke Tun?
    He..he…
    Tak pe lah Tun…
    Saya juga berpendat dengan Pakatan Rakyat yang longgar sebenarnya BN adalah masih pilihan yang terbaik.
    Namun bagi saya Tun, jika BN masih mempunyai ramai pemimpin yang korup dan berkepentingan diri atau keluarga akan gagal juga.
    Pak Lah gagal kerana anak menantu dan kronei yang tak sedar diri.
    Tapi Najib, dari sumber yang rapat kata akan juga gagal kerana keluarga. Mungkin akan jadi sehebat Imelda Marcos yang mengumpul kasut berbondon-bondon.
    Kita perlu seorang pemimpin yang sekuat Tun atau seikhlas Nik Aziz.
    Tun, kita tak boleh mengharapkan sokongan orang kampung sahaja untuk mengundi BN dengan terus memberi gula-gula tapi pada masa yang sama menoleh juga kehendak orang-orang di bandar.
    Kita tidak mahu nanti ada trend di kampong terus menyokong BN tapi di bandar menyokong parti lain.
    Seperti Tun katakan, hanya dalam tempoh 4 tahun rakyat telah menukar haluan dengan hampir kesemua nya mengundi barisan alternatif terutama nya di bandar besar.
    Tengok sahaja seperti beberapa kawasan seperti Kelana Jaya cukup besar majoriti di beri kepada calon yang tidak langsung fasih berbahasa Malaysia menang.
    Ini semua undi protest Tun…
    Pak Lah gagal untuk mentadbir negara semasa mendapat sokongan majoriti yang kuat, adalah sangat meragukan beliau boleh memulihkan UMNO dan BN dalam masa sokongan yang terlalu lemah…
    Fikir-fikir lah Pak Lah dan Konoc-konco nya kalau anda semua membaca Blog Tun ini…..
    Jangan salahkan rakyat jika memberi peluang kepada PR memerintah, sekurang-kurang nya masa di perlukan untuk membuat perubahan atau mungkin masa juga di perlukan untuk membuat kekayaan untuk mereka atau keluarga mereka sendiri (baru nak mula flatform tapi BN sudah ada Flatform)…

  319. “By dheepan on September 22, 2008 2:54 PM
    1. How would we know something won’t work if we don’t try? Let’s give multiracial party a try!
    2. I disagree with the statement that BN is the only model for a ‘many multi’ Malaysia. Singapore is a good example where multiracial party is striving and they had similar beginnings like BN. So why is it only BN faltered and PAP is thriving?
    ——————————————————————
    Dheepan, are you kidding me man? PAP is thriving because Singapore is an autocratic Chinese state where opposition is incapable of winning due to strict propaganda. For God sake, try living or at least reading Sinagporeans’ views before praising Singapore to the sky.That’s why most tak-malu Malaysians tend to do- praising Singapore without a single mention of Temasek, the propaganda and the brutal control of minds or the amount of racism and bigotry non-Chinese have to endure.
    Trying the PR ( whose political ideologies ranged from right wing to left wing, from anti-Islam-rhetoric to Islam is the way to live, from introduce dinars to save the country’s economy to abolish NEP) is an emotional decision rather than a wise,pragmatic one. PR will shatter in months of coming to power or be so weak that it is incapable of making right and robust decisions to save Malaysia – its economy and its social structure.
    We can give a try for the sake of proving the liberals of Malaysia wrong, but alas,given how manipulative liberals can be, even the failure of PR will be called as the sign that democracy is strong in Malaysia.
    But trust me,making Anwar Ibrahim as our PM, the man whose friends are neo-cons and world bank leaders; will just mean, our sovereignty will be on sale.

  320. Salam Tun,
    MARAHKAN NYAMUK, KELAMBU DI BAKAR! Itulah yang dapat dicerminkan terhadap tindakan rakyat yg kecewa terhadap pucuk pimpinan negara yg diterajui oleh BN yg CEMERLANG,GEMILANG dan TERBILANG sehingga hampir hampir kita tergadai kepada parti pembangkang dalam pilihan raya yang lalu.
    Adakah kita masih punya harapan untuk bangkitkan BN kembali, sekiranya tindakan rakyat yg sebergini membuatkan kita kalah dan pucuk pimpinan dirampas oleh pihak pembangkang pada pilihanraya yg lepas?
    Tun, kalau rakyat sedar akan kelemahan kepimpinan BN tetapi bertindak MEMBAKAR KELAMBU, siapakah yang rugi? Kelemahan BN dan kesempatan pembangkang mengeksploitasikan Perlembagaan, Perkauman, Pentadbiran dan agama membuatkan kerugian kepada Rakyat Malaysia dan ia dilihat semakin meruncing.
    Tun, siapa yg SALAH tidak penting, apa yg harus diubah dan bagaimana untuk merubahnya adalah yg paling penting sebelum terlambat.
    Adakah wajar tindakan rakyat untuk menyedarkan pemimpin dengan menghancurkan 51 tahun kubu BN yang dibina? Tetapi adakah wajar para pemimpin menafikan kehancuran kubu (51 thn)ini demi menjaga kepentingan pribadi?
    Wassalam.

  321. Assalamualaikum………
    Mudah saja Tun, seperti yang Tun katakan sebelum ini, untuk menjatuhkan paklah.
    1) SEMUA PRESIDEN PARTI KOMPONEN BN PERLU BERSATU UNTUK USUL UNDI TAK PERCAYA KEPADA PAKLAH SEBAGAI PENGERUSI BARISAN NASIONAL. TAPI, MEREKA JANGAN KELUAR DARI BN
    2) SAYA YAKIN WALAUPUN UMNO DIPAKSA OLEH PAKLAH SUPAYA TAK SETUJU, USUL INI AKAN BUATKAN PAKLAH PIKIR 2 KALI. (Kecuali paklah tak ada akal)

  322. Tun,
    Sorry to said that but the fact is you have made the wrong decision to hand over the country to him and the rakyat has to suffer now. This the bigger mistake in your life that you had made and is the most serious one.However, no one is perfect but must be brave enough to make things right as you should responsible for your mistake.

  323. Hi Tun,
    I’m not Pro to Oppositions nor BN but how can you foresee the opposition cant manage the country better than BN?
    At the beginning of BN era, Yes! UMNO/MCA/MIC faced alot of challenges and obstacles. Alot of things, they were trial n error… Nevertheless, old parties like PAS and DAP also does their studies and homework researching other Parties strength and weaknesses. Throughout their management in their respective control states, so far they managing quite well and it’s people are happy!
    Yes! IF Oppositions did forms a new government, they might have to go through all the painful process again BUT they might have already learnt the mistakes done by the BN Government and they enhance further the existing policies and structures. It probably may turn out to be better result!
    BN knew there’re alot of changes need to be done BUT they’re just too afraid to do it as it might spoilt some individuals’ interest in BN. SO in this case, Opposition’s new government wont hesistate to make changes which BN afraid to do so all this while…
    I would say overall, Oppositions are more transparent then the BNs. It’s healthy to see reform of new government replacing weaker government. If opposition’s new government not doing their job correctly, SIMPLE… RAKYAT can just vote and change the government just like what is happening now…

  324. CHINA – HISTORY TAUGHT US ABOUT RISE AND FALL OF DYNASTIES.
    MALAYSIA – BARISAN NASIONAL IS ON THE WAY DOWN AND PAKATAN ON THE WAY UP.
    CHINA – MING DYNASTY HAD 400,000 SOLDIERS BUT ENSHRINED CORRUPTION IN COURT DESTROYED ANY HOPE TO DEFEND AND A KINGDOW WAS LOST.
    MALAYSIA – BARISAN NASIONAL WITH BIG BUDGET AND BIG GOVERNMENT MAY STILL SALVAGE THE SITUATION BUT CORRUPTION AT HIGHEST LEVEL PREVENT A UNITED FORCE TO CONTINUE.
    CHINA – UNLIKELY MANCHU CAME AND CONQUER FORBIDDEN CITY; MING FATUOS EMPEROR CHOPPED HIS DAUGHTER ARM AND KILL HIMSELF.
    MALAYSIA – PAKATAN WITH LOOSE COALITION OF UNLIKELY IDEOLOGIES COMBINED TO FORCE BARISAN NASIONAL FROM PUTRAJAYA.
    TOO SCARY TO CONTINUE……. LET IT BE.
    ALL BECAUSE ONE WRONG DECISION OF ONE MAN WHO HAS ALL THE CHANCES TO DO IT RIGHT.
    SUCCESSION PLANNING.

  325. Tun,
    Someone says, ‘A Politician looks at the next election, whereas A Statesman looks at the next generation’.
    Unfortunately in Malaysia today, we have plenty of politicians, and sadly nobody worthy of being called a statesman except for yourself and a few other leaders of the past.
    What we need are people with uncompromising integrity to be in the office and to lead our beloved country. If the government keeps talking about human capital development, maybe they should start with developing the right persons to lead the office and the country.

  326. Aslkum Ayahanda TUN,
    Aper khabar TUN? Selamat Berpuasa hendaknya.
    UMNO sekarang adalah sebuah parti yang tiada mempunyai jati diri yang utuh. Kenaper boleh sampai jadi begitu? Parti yang di asaskan oleh mendiang Dato’ Onn Jaafar – Mentri Besar Johor (yang sepatutnya diangkat mertabatnya menjadi ‘TUN’) adalah seorang yang berani kedepan memperjuangkan Hak-Hak Raja serta setiap bangsa pada waktu itu. Dan dialah yang telah mempercetuskan semarak dan semangat untuk mencapai kemerdekaan.
    Dan Tun pula telah membawa MALAYSIA ke sebuah puncak… dimana rakyat negara tercinta ini pun tidak pernah mimpi bahawa ia akan dicapai.
    Sekarang negara kita, telah sampai pula kedetik dimana kita telah berhenti dan kadang kala berundur dari matlamat memajukan negara kononnya membazir duit rakyat. Setiap pembagunan yang dirancangkan atau dicanangkan tidak boleh ditolak bulat-bulat kerana ia melibatkan puluhan industri dan ribuan pekerja dan jutaan nilai biznez!
    Projek-projek TUN lancarkan dulu yang so-called ‘MEGA’ sebenarnya tidak MEGA tetapi it was very necessity untuk menarik pelabur-pelabur asing ke Malaysia. I am a firm believer that apabila adanya sesebuah infrastruktur yang moden dan tersusun, ia akan secara tidak langsung menarik pelabur-pelabur asing untuk melabur disesebuah negara. India dan Cina sekrang sedang melaburkan berbilion ringgit untuk menaikkan taraf insfrastruktur di negara mereka dan tiada satu pun tohmahan dari rakyat mahupun pembangkang di parlimen mereka bahawa projek-projek itu adalah projek MEGA. Saya ambil contoh kecil iaitu pelabuhan di Tg Pelepas Johor, jikalau ayahanda TUN tidak memaksa syarikat tersebut melaksana impian mereka semasa gawat 97 dulu, maka tidak adalah sebuah pelabuhan yang termoden dan tersohor didunia dalam masa yang tersingkat! Pelabuhan Klang yang telah established berpuluh tahun pun tidak dapat mencapai apa yang dicapai oleh mereka.
    Melihat negara-negara seperti Cina dan India yang dahulunya mundur, sedang dan dibeberapa arena telah pecut mara kedepan untuk menjadi negara yang maju dan moden.
    Harapan dan doa saya bahawa idea-idea konstruktif Tun dapat di manafaatkan oleh pihak yang memerintah. Dan saya juga berdoa kepada s.w.t. supaya Anwar Ibrahim tidak menjadi PM Malaysia dan Pak Lah dengan segera turun takhta diPutrajaya secepat mungkin.
    HIDUP TUN!
    AllahuAkbar!

  327. Dear Tun
    I wish to refer to this comment, By Shariff_5 on September 22, 2008 4:53 PM:
    Hello lu apahal suruh ‘shut up’ kalu meluat, ‘shut down’ saja. Ini bloq Chedet, kita ramai yang suka. Apa orang lain kurang Islam ka – ini bulan puasa, kalau yang pun jangan jadi hamba Allah yang biadab.

  328. Assalamualaikum Tun……
    Semasa Tun memerintah dulu, mungkin ada pihak yang tidak senang dengan cara pemerintahan Tun dulu dan inginkan perubahan……..
    Mungkin mereka ini kecewa disebabkan oleh kepentingan peribadi dan Tun telah menolak orang-orang ini………..
    Setelah Pak La mengambil alih pemerintahan, mereka telah mulah bersuara kembali dan mengambil kesempatan keatas kelemahan pentadbiran Pak La…………
    Akhirnya inilah akibatnya hari ini setelah mereka ini diberi muka dan dibebaskan dari tahanan seperti Anuar dan diberi kebebasan bersuara………….
    Fikir-fikirkanlah………
    Salam sihat untuk Tun sekeluarga……

  329. Hehehe. Tun jangan risau bahawa Parti komponen seperti MCA dan Gerakan akan tinggalkan BN. Macam Koh SK, orang macam dia ini mana ada maruah diri sendiri? Kena marah pun diam-diam aje.
    Kita tak mintak MCA dan Gerakan tinggalkan BN. Kita berharap, diorang yang tak bermaruah dan selalu subservient tu terus tenggelam dengan BOSS BN dia. Yang bermaruah, cepat-cepatlah tinggalkan kapal titanic yang tengah tengelam tu sebelum terlambat.

  330. Salam TDM,
    YA! BN masih releven dalam pemerintahan kerajaan Malaysia. Yang tak releven ialah pemimpin yang ada dalam BN, halatuju BN, pendekatan BN.
    Masa telah berubah maka pemimpin BN juga perlu ubah diri mereka, halatuju perjuangan BN juga perlukan pembaharuan dan pendekatan BN juga perlukan evolusi.
    Sayangnya saya hanyalah 1/26,000,000 rakyat Malaysia. Layakkah sedikit sebanyak pendapat saya ini didengar?

  331. Dear Tun
    I agreed with your point on this but I have no idea why Pak Lah are your last “catur” for last 5 years. All now look “kelam-kabut” already…..!!! I now thinking will I “charge” under ISA or not because keep “kritik” the “Pak Lah” management. Anyway, wish you all the best and Selamat Hari Raya. Take Care

  332. salam tun
    salam utk semua blogger
    BN masih relevan kalau tidak takkan PR tiru cuma pendekatan kena ubah zaman dah berubah…org tua dah pergi yang tinggal adalah pewaris2 tapi cara BN masih lagi sama……pemimpin yang dah tak perform silalah turun tak perlulah sampai dijatuhkan nanti masuk dalam buku sejarah dengan ingatan yang tidak sedap didengar….ramai yang boleh ganti ….cukuplah kumpul harta tu bukan boleh bawak semua sekali masa mati nanti…….tuhan itu Maha Adil…..

  333. Tun,
    As for point 10, I think you have very bad judgement when appointing Pak Lah as PM..Even though it was the party’s choice, but as ex-President should have your thoughts and voice it out but you didn’t and you still want to teach people how to voice out? New generation of M’sian already knows how to voice out..Also this shows that you are very bad at making decision for your own party. How can you be so sure of your opinion that Pakatan Rakyat will not work?
    Be open minded, PLEASE!

  334. Dear Dr. M,
    I agree with many things you had highlighted, however the trick of the matter is that BN does not have the leadership capability anymore. BN has destroyed itself and its ability to govern our country. Not to mention they seem to be addicted to fighting amongst themselves. There is no spirit of values, and there is only a void of confusion. The BN mechanism is no longer effective to support the new mentality of Malaysians, thanks to PakLah.
    I believe even if there is a change of leadership within BN/Umno, the alliance is still to weak to control its parties. There would be a continuation of political drama and battles, that would further destroy the hope of Malaysians, the political infrastructure and naturally sink our country.
    I used to believe in BN, and was a member of Umno. Your action of leaving Umno was inspiring to my politically motivated soul. I believe whatever you are doing now (outside of Umno) is more effective and productive for our country. However I do not intend to re-join Umno, as I know it cannot escape its fate and eventual political demise.
    Malaysians should build a more effective platform for all Malaysians to progress further, within the Vision2020. We should not be standing in a ship that is almost about to sink.

  335. Dear Tun
    I am giving my two cents worth of thoughts from outside Malaysia.
    It is about time PM AAB take stock of the political situation in Malaysia. About Anwar Ibrahim, he is only good at talking. You can ask MOF officials who used to work under him in the 90s. He can talk about politics, philosophy etc but he is zero as the Minister of Finance. Remember that he is a Malay Studies graduate, a third year repeat to boot. It was a great mistake to have him appointed as a minister in charge of finance. The only positive result about his tenure was to make his political buddies including those working for him in MOF filthy rich. I bet my bottom dollar that Anwar is not clean. His greatest burning desire is to be PM at all cost. If he is a man with good intentions, he would have concentrated on governing the PR/PKR states well so that they would stand a chance of forming the next Federal Government.
    It is about time PR/PKR act a a party of Government not as a party of agitators and anarchists. Above all, Anwar is a stooge of the west particularly USA. Remember the 21 gun salute that was given to him by Cohen at the Pentagon. Don’t forget that his good friend and strong supporter is the top American neocon ( also a Jew) who was booted out of the World Bank for sex offence. Malaysians should be aware of this fact. Anwar is revered in the west, not for nothing.
    I pity Malaysia and Malaysians if ever Anwar becomes PM. I pity Wan Azizah for standing by him.
    Overseas Malaysian

  336. SALAM TUN,
    Melihat kepincangan yang berlaku terhadap Malaysia baik dari segi politik dan ekonomi yang tidak putus-putus menggambarkan kedudukan sebenar kelemahan pemerintah yang mewakili rakyat.
    Ramai yang tidak terkejut, apabila Fukuda,PM negara maju Jepun meletakkan jawatan atas tekanan pembangkang dan mengakui tidak punya karisma bagi mengawal keadaan ekonomi negara yang kian meleset. Karisma dan kredibiliti adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dijual beli kerana ia datang secara lahiriah.
    Kemampuan mengawal segala yang berada dalam linkungan adalah kurniaan, kerana hanya mereka yang hebat dapat memberi impak kepada persekitarannya dan bukan persekitaran yang mengawal dirinya.
    Di Malaysia sesuatu yang berlaku adalah berlainan, walaupun banyak tekanan, terdapat suara dari akar umbi, desakan mahukan perubahan, proses menyalahkan sesama sendiri berlaku, dan kejutan demi kejutan berlarutan dalam pola politik dan ekonomi negara, pihak pemerintah masih tidak sedarkan diri.
    Tidak banyak perubahan dilaksanakan. Pemerintah masih yakin dengan kemenangan majoriti mudah hasil dari PRU lepas. Rakyat pula terus dihidang dengan ketidaktentuan politik dan ekonomi yang berlaku hampir setiap hari. Sistem sosial pula terhakis sedikit demi sedikit.
    Setelah rakyat menyatakan protes mereka pada PRU lepas, jelas kelihatan dalam pentadbiran negara iaitu pemerintah peringkat tertinggi takut dan gentar melakukan perubahan demi MALAYSIA.
    Melepaskan jawatan bukan bererti kalah, tetapi rasa tanggungjawab supaya MALAYSIA negara kita dapat terus memacu pembangunan demi kesejahteraan rakyat.
    Mengapa Malaysia yang satu ketika dahulu diakui politik, ekonomi dan sosial kekuatannya kini menampakkan jurang kelemahan ketara?
    Mengapa Malaysia yang punya pemerintah atau cerdik pandai berbilang bangsa yang berjaya membawa kesejahteraan lebih setengah abad, kini senyap takut menyatakan kebenaran sedang rakyat menuntut perubahan di peringkat tertinggi negara?
    Rakyat dan pemerintah, kita semua adalah RAKYAT MALAYSIA.
    Kita semua sayangkan MALAYSIA.
    Berani melakukan PERUBAHAN bukan satu liabiliti tapi menunjukkan rasa sayang kita kepada MALAYSIA untuk melihat MALAYSIA yang lebih maju, aman dan damai untuk hari ini dan masa depan.

    Seperti juga Amerika yang pakar ekonomi gagal mentadbir ekonomi negaranya dengan baik…!!! Ini kesilapan yang harus mereka akui pada Dunia. Sebaliknya mereka menunding jari antara satu sama lain apabila kesilapan terjadi.
    Begitu juga dengan BN, perlu ada satu badan yang memantau akan kebersanan BN pada rakyat. KEPENTINGAN RAKYAT PERLU DIJAGA DAN UTAMAKAN….Jangan Lupa Ini..!!!!
    Disini Pemimpin yang ada terutama DS Najib harus bekerja keras dalam menaikan ekonomi negara paling tidak mempertahankan ke tahap yang stabil. Dunia kini sedang mengalai krisis yang juga sangat emmbimbangkan.
    DS Najib harus bertindak tegas dalam mempertahankan ekonomi negara dari masuk ke kancah yang memusnahkan.

  338. Salam Tun,
    First and foremost congratulations to chedet.com for getting more than 7.3 million hits.
    Saya tertarik dengan komen-komen yang menyarankan agar para pemimpin sekarang (dan yang dahulu juga mungkin) kembali ke jalan Allah dalam melakukan sesuatu perkara. Jauhkan daripada memfitnah, mengaibkan orang lain dan perkara-perkara lain yang ditegah Islam.
    Yang nyata sekali dilihat rakyat pada masa ini dan masa dulu juga, pemimpin2 kita berpakaian Melayu, kelihatan very islamic ke majlis2 keagamaan seperti berbuka puasa, tilawah Al Quran dan sbgnya..tetapi yg sedihnya ialah melihat isteri2 mereka tidak tutup aurat dgn sempurna. Kalaulah hukum Allah yg mudah tidak dpt dipraktikkan di rumah, bagaimana nak mengharap memantapkan pentadbiran negara yang lebih mencabar.
    Di sebelah sana pula kaum keluarga mereka mempunyai keterampilan yang dituntut tetapi para suami/ketuanya pula amat taksub dgn perjuangan2 yang gilakan kuasa dan menggunakan agama utk menghalalkan perlakuan mereka.
    Mungkin ramai (termasuk Tun) melihat komen saya ini sebagai remeh dan tidak membangun. Mungkin juga fahaman saya tentang agama Islam masih cetek.InsyaAllah saya akan terus menimba ilmu buat bekalan akhirat.
    Perjuangan Tun masih lagi relevan dan didoakan Tun sentiasa sihat utk meneruskannya. Berhati-hatilah supaya tidak terpesong tanpa sengaja.
    Salam Aidilfitri.

  339. Dear Tun,
    Have you thought of forming a new party, maybe a multiracial one to challenge BN or PR. When all the parties in BN already rotten to the core, it will be extremely difficult to heal them. Even if you were to rejoin UMNO and try and make changes from the inside.
    I am sure there will be many from UMNO, MIC, MCA or Gerakan would support you.

  340. Tun Mahathir,
    Salam Dengan Penuh Hormat.
    Hanya BN yang bolih memikul legacy PERIKATAN dan membimbing Negara kearah kemajuan dan kemakmuran Rakyat dan Negara.
    Terbukti kejayaan PERIKATAN kemudainnya berkembang maenjadi BN memimpin Negara sahingga ke taraf diatara Negara yang termaju di rantau ini dan juga Dunia.
    Mengapa harus perpecahan berlaku di kalangan component BN yang telah mencapai kejayaan demi kejayaan sejak 1957 ?
    1. Kejayaan telah meluputkan semangat Kenegaraan Pemimpin dari
    setiap kaum, Melayu, Cina , India termasuk kaum senegara kita
    di Serawak dan Sabah.
    Kekayaan diri telah mengambil alih kepentingan Kenegaraan.
    2. Rakyat turut mengecap kejayaan dan tidak terasing menjadi
    tamak dan iri hati kepada yang lebih berjaya. Ini adalah lumrah.
    3. Party Pembangkan membangkang kejayaan ini dan melaksanakan agenda
    untuk melemahkan Party (BN) yang memerintah melalui anasir mereka
    yang di semai di dalam Party party Component BN.
    Party Pembangkang menghasud Rakyat melalui berbagai fitnah untuk
    mendapat sokongan.
    Jika Negara telah mencapai kejaan dan jelas dengan perancangan
    untuk terus maju ketaraf ” Developed Nation ” mengapa harus di
    tentang ?
    Mengapa Pembangkang harus menghasud Rakyat dan beselindung di
    belakang Prinsip prinsip anjuran barat ?
    Mengapa berbagai NGO’s di tubuhkan hanya mencari ruang untuk
    melemahkan Kerajaan dan memechah belahkan perpaduan Rakyat ?
    Jelas ini adalah mainan Kuasa Besar yang tidak mahu Negara
    berjaya dan mampu mencapai hasrat dan cita cita Negara Malaysia
    kerana Malaysia adalah sebuah Negara Islam yang di pimpin
    terutamanya olih orang Melayu melalui UMNO dan di sokong olih
    semua kaum melalui party masing masing.
    4. Akir sekali; retak menjadi belah, apabila AAB sambil leka dangan
    Hadari nya terus lewa kepada kepentingan Negara.
    Kini saya rasa tiada berfaedah mengikut bapa saya kesana sini membantu Leong Yew Koh berkempen pada tahun 1955 kerana semangat
    yang ada pada masa itu telah bertambah pudar dengan keadaan sekarang.
    Saya berharap pemimpin MCA dan MIC masih beramanah dan memelihara
    perjajian yang di bentuk bersama ketika mengujudkan PERIKATAN dan bersama UMNO membimbing parti parti component BN untuk mencari penyelesaian dan mengataisi masaalah yang di hadapi sekarang.
    Memahami masalah sebenar bagaikan mencari cahaya dan melepaskan diri dari alam kegelapan. Apabila terang, mudah untuk kita melihat arah tuju .
    Apa pun, bertindak biar bijak, berusaha biar lasak.
    Jika dihati tulus dan ikhlas pasti mudah memahami dan bertanggong jawab kepada dan di atas dasar kebenaran.

  341. Dear Tun,
    I really wish your advise being taken by all the leaders whether it is from government or non-government.
    To the leaders – please come back to your objective of being a leader…if your objectives are sincere enough to serve the rakyat, I don’t think it is too much difficulty to accept Tun’s advise.

  342. Tun,
    I remember that a Chinese Kung Fu movie highlighted a brief conversation between a Ching Dynasty Emperor and a Beggar Clan insurgent leader during a short negotiation.
    Emperor: Don’t you ever dare to challenge and devastate the dignity of my throne again? Be careful I will be ruthless and show no mercy upon you by beheading you and hanging your bloody fool head on the Tian An Men Square!
    Insurgent Leader: Pardon me His Majesty! Whether the dignity of His Majesty’s throne will be devasted is all depending on the decision choice which is to be made by His Majesty. If His Majesty really cares enough to love the subject of His Majesty like loving a son, then there will be no more influential insurgents whom His Majesty will bother to personally deal with again. Who else will still want to sign up for the membership of a beggar’s clan if with the implementation of a correct government policy, all the hungry stomaches can be satisfactory filled up in order to avoid starvation?
    The morale of the story: Whether the BN is still relevant in the Malaysian political context will all depend on how well the BN government can perform to ensure a good governance and to position itself to be a recognisable good government!
    Onlooker

  343. Salam buat Tun dan semua rakan che det blogspot..Selama Tun menjadi ketua kerajaan Malaysia banyak kejayaan yang telah Tun ciptakan untuk rakyat malaysia..TAPI semua itu sudah tiada makna lagi dengan satu KESILAPAN yang teramat besar yang telah Tun lakukan..memilih AAB sebagai penganti.Dosa ini terlalu sukar untuk kami rakyat Malaysia ampun.

  344. Saya setuju dengan Manusia Biasa. Mukhriz Mahathir mempunya pegangan prinsip dan potensi yang sangat besar. Dia tidak bercampur dalam politik semasa Tun menjadi PM tetapi tahu apa yang kelakuan Tun selama ini. Daripada meminta Tun balik dari pencen, baik kita sokong Mukhriz masuk MT UMNO dan seterusnya PM.

  345. Salam Tun.
    Bila pemimpin BN bercakaran sesama sendiri, maka pemimpin PR menyangkakan peluang mereka untuk merebut kuasa terbentang luas. Padahal majoriti rakyat sedang memerhatikan tingkahlaku mereka.
    Bolehkan PR mengambil tempat BN? Besar sungguh tanda soalnya. Mana kan tidak, dilihat pada prestasi mereka selama ini sebagai pembangkang di parlimen, tidak lebih dari retorik semata-mata.
    Apakah Islam bertambah maju di Malaysia seiring dengan kemajuan negara di bawah PAS? Mungkin tidak. Lihat sahaja di Kelantan, majukah mereka? Yang pasti, orang Islam di Malaysia makin berkurangan kerana orang UMNO dilabelkan sebagai kafir @ bukan Islam. Bolehkah PAS mentadbir di negara yang penduduk majoritinya “bukan Islam”?
    PAS hanya bermimpi di siang hari!

  346. TUN.
    Apa yang TUN perkatakan amat jelas sekali kebenarannya.

  347. Dear Tun,
    1. I think you need to SHUT UP now…
    2. In your age, you should not worry about BN, UMNO, Pak Lah, Najib, joining UMNO or any other things un-related to religin anymore..
    3. Have you ever think about how are you going to meet Allah?
    4. C’mon Tun…this is not the time for you anymore… why die while hated… be smart, be wise….

  348. Assalamu’alaikum Tun,
    Saya sokong pendapat Tun, tetapi walau pemimpin BN duduk semeja setiap hari berbincang tetapi mereka tidak berani bersuara tentang kepincangan yang ada kerana takut hilang “TITLE” masaalah dalaman BN tidak akan selesai, tunding menunding tidak akan berhenti.
    Pemimpin BN kena ubah style dengan berani menegur apa yang salah denagn cara BOSS mereka bukan hanya jadi PAK TURUT mengiyakan semua perkara walaupun lubuk hati mereka mengatakan perkara itu tidak betul.
    Saya rasa mereka perlu menerima teguran dari orang lain dengan hati terbuka.
    Orang Melayu perlu bersatu kerana dengan itu sahaja Melayu boleh menjadi bangsa yang perkasa (ambil dan timbang pendapat dari pemimpin lama kerana pengalaman mengatasi segalanya).
    Masaalahnya seperti Tun pernah kata:
    “MELAYU MUDAH LUPA”
    InsyaAllah BN akan kembali menjadi perkasa.

  349. Dearest Tun,
    This is the best description from you on the current situation which connected all the dots.
    They are so concerted at getting at each others’ throats until they are so blind of the current worsening economic conditions.
    If PM is still at the top seat after the coming UMNO elections, its goodbye Malaysia.
    http://wtfmalaysiangovernment.blogspot.com/

  350. Sir,
    I had agreed earlier on of the viability of BN concept of governing by consensus. After all, they did very well since the time of Alliance until before DSAAB stepped in. The thing is, if they are to do what you have suggested, then they must change the present leaders. Samy Vellu has been asking for the BN to meet up more for discussions on what they can do to regain the peoples confidence. I think he does not have the vision and foresight that you possess. He is only interested to regain power for his own selfish purposes. I cannot speak in defense or against the other components parties as I am an Indian. But I’m sure they are more or less the same. So, if these are the leaders who come together to repair BN, then I’m sorry I will never vote BN in future elections. I do not trust them any longer. I would like to see a complete change in leadership starting from the main leader of BN who happens to be the worst leader unleashed on our country. I guess you know who that is.
    Sir, one point that has been bothering me for a long time is how come you had no inkling of Abdullah’s incompetence when you picked him for PM after you retired? Didn’t you study his abilities or put him through some sort of test to gauge the outcome? I cannot help feeling that maybe you chose him simply so that the so-called RAHMAN theory would be completed nicely. Since Anwar was jailed out of the picture, there was nobody with the initial A but Abdullah and to be followed by N, Najib. Was this the case, sir?

  351. Selamat sejahtera buat Tun dan juga keluarga Tun yang setia kepada negara dan bangsa, Selamat Menyambut Bulan Ramadan dan Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Puasa 🙂
    Bertitik tolak dengan isu semasa yang sering diwar-warkan oleh semua orang yang nampaknya masing-masing ingin menjadi hero kepada penyelamat negara dan rakyat tetapi hakikatnya hanya semata-mata ingin menaikkan imej masing-masing di kalangan pengundi.
    Semua ingin memberi kata-kata mudah kenapa ianya berlaku dan kenapa ianya perlu dilakukan tetapi tiada siapa yang memikirkan kesan sekiranya ianya dilakukan. Asalkan ianya mencerminkan budaya pentadbiran yang telus dan terbuka, semua orang kata “OK” atau mesti boleh dibawa berbincang.
    TELUS DAN TERBUKA BUKANLAH SIFAT KEBURUKAN TETAPI KETERLALUAN DALAM SIFAT KETELUSAN DAN TERBUKA BOLEH MEMBUKA RUANGAN KEPADA SIFAT YANG BERUNSURKAN KEPENTINGAN.
    SEBAGAI PEMIMPIN NEGARA, SESEORANG MESTI TEGAS KERANA TIADA KETEGASAN, SEMEMANGNYA DIA BUKANLAH SESEORANG YANG BERDISIPLIN DALAM MEMASTIKAN TANGGUNGJAWABNYA DALAM MEMIKUL TUGAS MEMIMPIN NEGARA.
    Note: Tun sepatutnya menjadi penasihat parti dan kerajaan kerana Tun ialah mentor kepada kepimpinan yang sebenarnya.
    Hidup Tun Mahathir…………………………..

  352. Salam Yg DiKasihi Tun,
    1. Amat setuju dengan pandangan Tun. BN masih relevan. PR bukan alternatif yang baik. Sekarang pun sudah nampak belang mereka – BELUM LAGI BERKUASA. Semoga komponen2 parti BN ”buang yang keruh, ambil yang jernih”.
    2. Yang sudah TIDAK RELEVAN IALAH DSAAB. Semoga DSAAB terbuka hati untuk meletak jawatan dengan kadar segera. Agak kesian melihat DSAAB yang seakan tidak sedar yang beliau memang TIADA KEMAMPUAN untuk memimpin Malaysia. Beliau sudah menjadi BEBANAN kepada BN dan UMNO.
    Semoga Tun sekeluarga dirahmati Allah SWT. Saya sokong Tun.

  353. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    1. Semua orang yang komen dalam blog ini menyatakan sokongan mereka pada Tun, pandangan Tun dan segala tindak-tanduk Tun.
    2.Tapi apa yang kita semua buat untuk menyokong Tun?
    3. Kita menghantar pelbagai komen yang panjangnya berjela-jela. Tapi apakah kesan komen kita yang panjang mengutuk DSAAB ini memberi kesan dan akan mengubah pekara yang kita tentang, menjatuhkan pemerintahan beliau, mengembalikan semula keamanan dalam UMNO dan Malaysia?
    4. Jawapannya TIDAK!
    5. Orang UMNO di akar umbi harus dan JANGAN mencalonkan DSAAB pada perhimpunan Agung kali ini. Kita tidak perlu takut jika digantung dari UMNO. Kita tidak rugi apa-apa.
    (Kecuali sesetengah yang mendapat kepentingan peribadi melalui UMNO)
    6. Ini kuasa kita sebagai mana kita dapat lihat kuasa pengundi yang menghancurkan majoriti 2/3 BN.
    7. Kita undi Tengku Razaleigh, kita undi siapa yang Tun rasakan layak menggantikan DSAAB, dan siapa yang harus ada dalam MT UMNO kali ini.(Minta Tun senaraikan)
    9. Ini sahaja cara mempercepatkan pemindahan kuasa dalam UMNO dan BN sebelum 2010.
    10. Saya amat berharap Tun akan menyertai semula UMNO dan mejadi perwakilan UMNO kali ini. Saya akan menjadi ahli UMNO di kawasan Tun walau jauh di utara atau terceruk di selatan dan undi Tun.
    11. Dan yang terakhir orang Melayu harus bersatu mengukuhkan ekonomi Melayu. Dengan cara ini sahaja kita dapat menjaga kedaulatan kita.
    Salam saya buat Tun sekeluarga.
    Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri dan Maaf Zahir Batin.

  354. BN tidak mempunyai cukup pemimpin yang berani.
    Kecuali Yang Berhormat Ku Li, Muyyidin dan Mukhriz.
    Akibatnya mereka tak dapat nak berkampen untuk membuang Pak Lah yang tak syak lagi menjadi punca segala masalah negara.
    Hampir kesemua ahli BN yang penakut ini hanya cakap di belakang.
    Jelaslah yang BN masih tak dapat dipulihkan lagi buat masa ini, memandangkan punca masalah (Pak Lah) belum dapat dibuang.
    Kita kena tunggu sampai ahli BN berani membuang Pak Lah barulah boleh.
    For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself , if he has not, to say the thing he truly feels !!!

  355. Salam Tun.
    Ya, very poor and incompetent indeed yet the UMNO MT still support that very poor and incompetent leader. It seems they are very reluctant to let go and dump this man. I wonder what inspired them to continuously blind support this man. Undeniably money & power is behind all these.
    In my opinion UMNO constitution should be reviewed and upgraded so that any lousy or weak President or Ketua Bahagian should be dumb immediately by MT and not wait till he destroyed the party what more the nation. We encounter this problem because we have a person lacking in integrity, less credible and stubborn as president.
    UMNO should form advisory councils to monitor the performance of the President and recommend actions to be taken in case he is sleeping on his job just like we have now.

  356. Saya setuju dgn Tun. BN masih relevan. Dan hanya BN yg telah memakmurkan Malaysia. Bukannya parti2 pembangkang sekarang. Bukannya senang nak satukan parti2 yg mempunyai pelbagai bangsa dan agama.
    Drp ini lah pemimpin2 BN sekarang kena kuatkan BN. Bersatu demi BN. Struktur balik BN supaya ianya dpt mengembalikan kegemilangan Malaysia. Buang mana2 pemimpin yg menjadi liability parti, tak kira samada ianya paling atas ataupun sebaliknya. Tapi setakat yg kita tahu, pemimpin numero uno la yg kena cantas dulu. Baru yg lain tu akan berubah!
    Hidup BN, hidup Tun M!

  357. Dear Tun:
    Just a simple question. Who do you see is the best candidate to step up as PM (beside Datuk Najib) and why do you think so? With the current situation & scandal that involve a lots of the menteri, it seems that BN is lacking of Charismatic Leader as we have experienced when you are in helm.

  358. Tun dearest,
    Sad… But it is true.
    the country is going into all sorts of turmoil: politically, economically, morally, racially and ethically.
    true: Everybody knows and believes that the reason of these turmoil is due to the WEAKness of the “Leadership”.
    Sad again, nobody have the balls to challenge the “Leadership”

  359. salam Tun,
    Your political comeback is very much needed.
    One last great effort is required to pull this country together through this troubled times.
    Time is not on our / your side.
    You are the only one who can pull this off as you have the charisma and clout to save this country and put it back on the right track!
    UMNO leaders must wake up and assess the situation.Every UMNO member is morally required to support Tun’s comeback if you sincerely love your agama,bangsa dan negara.
    Please do not continue to live in dreamland with DSAAB.
    The 3F crisis (fuel,food and financial) is staring us in the face and yet we are happily declaring the situation is OK.
    UMNO must change it’s approach and mindset to ensure it’s survival.
    DSAI & PR think they can rule better,but hey,America’s economy is crumbling!They got loads of their own problems to attend to first.
    DSAI wants so much to take power that he is making all kinds of conflicting promises to everybody.What will happen if he renege on his promises?
    Can DAP and PAS agree on a Malaysian Malaysia or the creation of an Islamic State?
    I DON’T THINK SO!DO NOT FOOL YOURSELVES.
    They all are just putting their respective agendas on hold just to try and take power first.
    The best alternative is still the BN.
    It just need a strong captain to take command up to the next GE at least.
    And that captain is Tun.

  360. SALAM TUN,
    Melihat kepincangan yang berlaku terhadap Malaysia baik dari segi politik dan ekonomi yang kian putus menggambarkan kedudukan sebenar kelemahan pemerintah yang mewakili rakyat.
    Ramai yang tidak terkejut, apabila Fukuda,PM negara maju Jepun meletakkan jawatan atas tekanan pembangkang dan mengakui tidak punya karisma bagi mengawal keadaan ekonomi negara yang kian meleset. Karisma dan kredibiliti adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh dijual beli kerana ia datang secara lahiriah.
    Kemampuan mengawal segala yang berada dalam linkungan adalah kurniaan, kerana hanya mereka yang hebat dapat memberi impak kepada persekitarannya dan bukan persekitaran yang mengawal dirinya.
    Di Malaysia sesuatu yang berlaku adalah berlainan, walaupun banyak tekanan, terdapat suara dari akar umbi, desakan mahukan perubahan, proses menyalahkan sesama sendiri berlaku, dan kejutan demi kejutan berlaku dalam pola politik dan ekonomi negara, pihak pemerintah masih tidak sedarkan diri.
    Tidak banyak perubahan dilaksanakan. Pemerintah masih yakin dengan kemenangan majoriti mudah hasil dari PRU lepas. Rakyat pula terus dihidang dengan ketidaktentuan politik dan ekonomi yang berlaku hampir setiap hari. Sistem sosial pula terhakis sedikit demi sedikit.
    Setelah rakyat menyatakan protes mereka pada PRU lepas, mengapa pemerintah peringkat tertinggi takut melakukan perubahan demi MALAYSIA.
    Melepaskan jawatan bukan bererti kalah, tetapi rasa tanggungjawab supaya MALAYSIA negara kita dapat terus memacu pembangunan demi kesejahteraan rakyat.
    Mengapa Malaysia yang satu ketika dahulu diakui politik, ekonomi dan sosial kekuatannya kini menampakkan jurang kelemahan ketara?
    Mengapa Malaysia yang punya pemerintah atau cerdik pandai berbilang bangsa yang berjaya membawa kesejahteraan lebih setengah abad, kini senyap takut menyatakan kebenaran sedang rakyat menuntut perubahan di peringkat tertinggi negara?
    Rakyat dan pemerintah, kita semua adalah RAKYAT MALAYSIA.
    Kita semua sayangkan MALAYSIA.
    Berani melakukan PERUBAHAN bukan satu liabiliti tapi menunjukkan rasa sayang kita kepada MALAYSIA untuk melihat MALAYSIA yang lebih maju, aman dan damai untuk hari ini dan masa depan.

  361. Salam Tun,
    The pattern is similar, after the 1969 election others took the opportunity to attack UMNO even though they were once in the same team. They went back to their races for support despite helping the Government which is now headed by an incompetent leader to implement the same policies.
    I believe we need to allow the opposition to govern if that’s the people’s choice, and BN especially UMNO should be the checker.
    “The opposition will fail” is only a theory. We do not know it until we give it a try. As I have said earlier, if UMNO is truely the people’s party then it should be able to be a good opposition. Only then we can claim that BN is still the best!
    Adios

  362. Assalamualaikum Ayahnda Tun n Bonda,
    With permission from Tun,
    It’s very ideal to say that PAS can manage this country well just because of its so-called Islamic policy. Preaching is NOT practising. If you see from outside, everything looks so wonderful but the lust for power n status has also creeped into PAS n some groups within the party have been backstabbing each other. The new n young idealists in the party do not very much agree with the fundamentalists. Some young members adapt, adopt n embrace friendships with DAP n PKR although their basic principles are so wide apart…the fundamentalists in the party will hv to accept the change bcoz thay realize they are not going to be there long…what much can they do??? at times their premier leader in Kelantan has to accept the youths’ revolutionary ideas in certain issues regarding their own welfare n relationships with other parties in their coalition…that’s why sometimes we could see tok guru would say something today but the next day changed his words…
    Still, BN is our hope to lead this country as the component parties share some same principles – to see that we stay unite for the better of our country. The members of BN must not let their personal views or minor interests harm the healthy relashionships that hv been long built.
    Have a nice day, best regards…
    Wassalam.

  363. Sir, Even though you have taken racial line lately which caused uneasiness among the non malay (me included),you are still the most capable PM Malaysia have got so far. I agree with you that BN concept of running the country (minus the UMNO ber maharajalela culture )is still the best platform to bring the nation forward.But by the events that is unfolding lately,I doubt the BN will survive beyond the next general election.One of the way to rescue it is YOU going back to UMNO ,wrest back the presiden post and become our PM for another term,kick out the whole existing cabinet(Nasri,Hisham,Khairi,Tyson and Syed Hamid a must go AND must not repeat the mistake of appointing KHIR TOYO again) and replaced them
    with new faces which are more higher educated,proffessional,capable,corrupt free background.This way the rakyat will see a big revamp with all the black sheeps that have contributed significantly to the down fall of BN.Try imagine Najib becomes the PM by succesion and the black sheeps are still around,do you think it will be any difference from the rakyat’s perception on the BN of its arrogance,corruptions,ignorance,stupidity etc etc ???
    Other than this way,dont think any other strategy will work faster and more effective to wrest back the support from the PEOPLE.

  364. Tun,
    Selamat jalan BN, parti yg pentingkan utk dapat projek dan kekayaan orang politik tertentu sahaja. Tak nampak lagi perjuangan seperti UMNO dahulu yg pentingkan keikhlasan dalam perjuangan. Hari ini, pemimpin hanya pentingkan untuk kumpul harta dan dapat saham2 dgn mudah. Kami orang kampung berdepan dengan kos hidup yang tinggi, bukan nak kaya tapi nak makan pun susah. Nak isi minyak motor pun perit, kata minyak nak turun dan kaji setiap bulan bila harga minyak global turun, hapak pun tarak.
    Selagi tak ada keikhlasan dalam kepimpinan, selagi itulah BN akan terus tersungkor, macam graf BSKL pulak. Sedih dgn keadaan yg berlaku dan takut dengan kepimpinan yg ada untuk menghadapi ekonomi yg kian meruncing.
    Orang Kampung.

  365. Salam TUN
    1.Saya berpendapat agar Tun menyegerakan kemasukan semula kedalam UMNO.
    2.Dengan yang demikian usaha TUN untuk menyelamtkan Umno,BN dan negara akan lebih berkesan.
    3.Selagi TUN diluar, pandangan dan kritikan TUN terhadap kerajaan dan pemimpin tertinggi nya hanya dianggap remeh.
    4.Keadaan ini juga agak kurang berkesan untuk memperbaiki dan merawat ahli2 yang telah kecewa atau yang dah tidak lagi menyokong parti.
    5.Saya yakin masih ramai ahli dan pemimpin di akar umbi yang masih setia dengan TUN. December ini ada lah waktu yang terbaik untuk bertindak memperbetulkan keadaan.
    6.Kepimpinan AAB mesti di akhiri segera sebelum rakyat hilang berminat lagi pada umno dan BN. Dan rakyat melihat parti ini tidak lagi relevan. 7.Perlu di ingatkan sebahgian besar rakyat adalah sebagai peminat parti sahaja, bukan ahli parti yang sentiasa setia dan tunduk pada ketua. Cita rasa ini boleh berubah2
    8.2010 adalah satu jangka waktu yang lama untuk peralihan kuasa. Dan berapa banyak lagi kesilapan demi kesilapan dan kerosakan akan dilakukan AAB.
    9.Kegagalan DSAAI pada 169 tidak bolih dipandang rengan dan berasa selesa. Hanya pelanduk sahaja lupakan jerat. Perangkap tidak akan lupakan mangsanya.
    10.DSAAI akan sentiasa mengintai peluang dan mencari kelemahan kerajaan untuk memerangkap.
    11.TUN telahpun melihat dan meramalkan apa akan terjadi pada negara bilamana DSAAI berkuasa.
    12.Apabila PKR berkuasa bukan lah satu perkara mudah pulak untuk menumbangkan semula.
    13.Sudah tentu DSSAI akan gunakan segala kuasa yang dia ada untuk mempertahan dan menghalalkan kedudukan nya. Mungkin 50 tahun kemudian baru lah UMNO dan BN bolih menang kembali. Wallahwaalam.

    NAMPAKNYA TUN TELAH MENUKAR SEDIKIT STRATEGI DALAM MENGHADAPI MASALAH YANG DIHADAPI OLEH UMNO…. IAITU MENGADAKAN TEKANAN DARI PIHAK ANGGOTA BARISAN NASIONAL.
    KITA TELAH LIHAT TEKANAN DARI DALAM UMNO NAMPAK KUAT KETIKA INI NAMPAK SEMAKIN HEBAT DAN BOLEH MEMBAWA KEBAIKAN.
    TEKANAN DARI PARTI-PARTI DALAM BARISAN NASIONAL SECARA SISTEMATIK BELUM NAMPAK LAGI. YANG ADA ADALAH UGUTAN UNTUK KELUAR BN.
    TETAPI TUN AMAT MALANG SEKALI KITA, PM KITA INI BUKAN SEBARANGAN ORANG. JIKA ORANG YANG BERPERINSIP, DIA TELAH LAMA MELEPASKAN JAWATAN. TETAPI ORANG SEPERTI BELIAU TIDAK SEMUDAH TUNDUK TEKANAN BEGINI TAK MENJADI MASALAH KEPADA BELIAU.
    SAYA BARU MENDAPAT BERITA YANG BELIAU (PM)AKAN CUBA KEKALKAN JAWATAN ITU. PEMBANTUNYA SEDANG BERGERAK SELURUH NEGARA UNTUK MENGESAHKAN SAMADA BENARKAH BELIAU AKAN TIDAK MENDAPAT CUKUP UNDI.

  371. Dear Tun,
    I think u should stop commenting and raised up the racial issues again .. i hope u can help pak lah and not asking him to go down .. since u elect him to be the next PM is ur duty as guru to teach him and not removed him. Guide him
    In future, i hope to see more ideas on improving economy from your blog sir as u expert in this
    Take care ..

  372. Salam Ramadan To Tun & All Dear Bloggers,
    All the current leaders of BN must realise that time and conditions have changed. They MUST wake up, sit straight, clear their mindsets and be ready to revamp and rejuvenate in every sense of the word in order to be relevant with the current requirements. Otherwise, the Pakatan Rakyat will seize every little opportunities available, driving the sleeping BNs deeper into their slumber.
    Malaysia Boleh !!!
    Salam Kenyalang.

  373. a’kum Tun..
    kami rakyat jelata dah menderita sangat-sangat…harap Tun dapat lakukan dengan lebih aggesif lagi untuk mengembalikan kegemilangan negara yang kami cintai ini….kami akan menyokong Tun dengan sepenuhnya.

  374. Dearest Tun & All Readers,
    Pembentukan Pakatan Rakyat masih ‘muda’ lagi….. dan kerjasama antara PKR-PAS-DAP masih perlu diperkuatkan dan diperkukuhkan.
    Walaupun ada ketidaksamaan dari segi pandangan, tapi masih boleh diselesaikan melalui “RUNDINGAN”.
    Tapi… dalam BN…. hanya UMNO saja yang menentukan keputusan!!!
    Kalau PEMIMPIN itu berwibawa, masih boleh diterima lagi… Tapi… jika PEMIMPIN yang lemah berkuasa… HABIS SEMUA…

  375. salam perpaduan…
    to TUN and all readers,
    hi, good day…thanks TUN for this sharing…i thinks this is not the 1st time TUN raised up the same issue,which Malaysia need a strong leader and strong ‘power sharing’ based component party…i strong believe that at this moment, Malaysia still need the sharing of power among different races because i agree with TUN that we are still not yet cross the border of race…but, for me, the ideal condition for Malaysia is to become a true nation which we are talking about cross races border condition in all aspect…this is the way we need to move to for a better Malaysia…
    hope this sharing can open some of the readers mind…
    regards,

  376. Salam Ayahanda Tun, at the rate things are going now, we are most probably looking at a minority government horse trading scenario akin to Pakistan right after our incoming PRU13. No one party would hold the needed majority to form a government as and all parties would most likely had contested on their own ticket- no JV as what we presently have under BN & PR set up. At that time, UMNO and PAS would be forced to set up a coalition to salvage what’s left of Malay and Islamic politics in this country, while the non-Malays would gather to form their own platform. Should the Malays hold more seats in Parliament, the non-Malays could go back to Anwar and have him yell a few more rounds till PRU14, so on and so forth. And lets not forget our silent majority; the military. These are the scenario that’s starring Najib right in the face. And to remedy all this is only by way of salvaging BN now and today, just exactly like what Tun had stated and posted on his blog site countless of times already. A move that indeed requires a lot of work, efforts and faith. And work and efforts, do not go together with time wasters.
    So look around Datuk Seri Najib, look past everyone and everything else around you. Look into the rational part of this whole chapter and sum up your answer. Then, you act accordingly to it. Sometimes the best advice one can have, have already been told many times by ones own conscience and clarity, but often gets brushed away by daily ignorance, or just by plain “being nice”. Datuk Seri Najib’s task is “nearly” overwhelming. And I am of the conviction that he has insurmountable stratagem and wisdom ready just as well. I pray for his political strength and success. Time is the essence; don’t waste any of it on anything or anyone. An old Yemeni traders proverb my late grandfather used to say: A pocketful of time once spent can never be taken back. So make it worth all your spending while.
    Tun, you are the one voice that’s keeping rationality in check for our country’s politics now. Take care of your self and Thank you always. Tun, saya nak singgah bazar Ramadhan sat. Pi tengok apa-apa sikit kut ada mana bekenan teringin. Salam Ramadhan Tun.

  377. 1. Yang tak sedar diri Pak Lah
    2. Umno, MCA, MIC tak perform pun sebab Pak Lah
    3. Sebab kalau berjaya – mengaku sebab “kepimpanan saya” bila kalah mengaku laa gak… tak payah nak betulkan…lagi rosak gayanya..henti saja
    4. Najib kene perform. Najib kena jadi Wira orang Melayu dan dalam masa yang sama kena juga jaga kepentingan bangsa lain.
    5. Bukan tugas mudah + masaalah ekonomi.
    6. Tapi saya percaya, walaupun beliau dikaitkan dengan banyak skandal kalau dia berjaya selesaikan masalah ini – rakyat bole terima. Kene juga jaga partner dia – orang dok perhati. Ini semua punca-punca…orang start benci…
    7. Tapi si Pak lah tak paham sampai sekarang…nasi dah jadi bubur…tak bole baiki…
    8. Masih tak paham kenapa Pak Lah tak paham…..

  378. 1. Semoga Tun sihat walafiat. Ceria selalu Tun dengan keluarga Tun.
    2. Saya mengamati setiap tulisan Tun. Setiap hari saya layari Blog Tun.
    3. Tulisan Tun amat kukuh dan berdasarkan bukti. Cita-cita saya ialah hendak menulis secara ilmiah berkenaan dengan Tun dan Za’ba. Ada persamaan yang saya lihat dari segi hal orang Melayu.
    4. Benar kata Tun Negara Malaysia memerlukan sebuah pentadbiran yang berdasarkan pelbagai kaum. Untuk mentadbir Malaysia, kerajaan seperti BN setakat ini adalah yang terbaik.
    5. Segalanya boleh kita nilai dalam aspek sejarah kita. Pada mulanya sejarah Negeri-negeri Melayu, Negeri-negeri Selat, Negeri Melayu Bersekutu, Tidak Bersekutu, Malayan Union, Persekutuan Tanah Melayu dan wujudlah MALAYSIA (Sabah, Sarawak, Singapura dan Brunei). Hayatilah konsep MALAYSIA yang diperkatakan oleh Rupert Emmerson.
    6. Kedudukan Orang Dagang juga dipertimbangkan semasa ke arah Pembentukan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu.
    7. Inilah sedikit sebanyak gambaran betapa Malaysia sekarang terbina berdasarkan pelbagai kaum yang sudah wujud sejak zaman kesultanan Melayu Melaka, Baba dan Nyona, Cheh Tu, orang Laut dan seangkatan dengannya. Datang pula Portugis kawin dgn orang tempatan, begitu juga Belanda, Arab, kemudian British kawin dan bawa sistem dan dasar imperialisme,kangany, kangchu, imigran-imigran lain, Gurkha dan sebagainya. Sekadar ingatan bahawa Malaysia sebelumnya sejarahnya begitu.
    8. Pertanyaan saya bolehkah kita mentadbir Malaysia hanya berdasarkan satu kaum sahaja? Mampukah kita melayani semua tuntutan setiap kaum yang ada di Malaysia ini?
    9. Justeru melihat kepada BN yang terdiri daripada hampir semua kaum di Malaysia ia dilihat masih relevan berbanding dengan parti pembangkang.
    10. Parti berasaskan kaum spt UMNO,MCA,MIC mempunyai ikatan atau kontrak sosial yg wujud walau tidak diwartakan tetapi atas dasar kefahaman kedudukan mereka ketika itu dan orang Melayu, maka hak-hak orang Melayu diakui oleh MCA dan MIC.
    11. Bayangkan andai hak org Melayu dihapuskan? Persamaan taraf diberi maka prinsip Jus soli yang diperkenalkan oleh British dahulu kita ikut kembali.
    12. Konsep Bangsa Malaysia harus dikukuhkan untuk ke arah kesejahteraan Malaysia bukan menghapuskan sama sekali kepentingan Melayu. Ambil contoh mudah kedai milik Cina, menyediakan barangan yang semua kaum boleh beli. Siapa yang maju dan siapa yang telah membantu memudahkan sesuatu kaum? Bukankah wujud rantaian saling memerlukan. BN sebenarnya yang memahami konsep sedemikian.
    Namun krisis kepimpinan dan ketidakyakinan pengundi terhadap BN adalah disebabkan urus tadbir negara yang terkucil sedikit dari landasan yang harus diikuti.
    13. Salam Tun.

  379. Tun,
    Pimpinan MCA semacam jaguh Cina kerana pemilihan parti.
    Pimpinan UMNO semacam jaguh Melayu kerana pemilihan parti.
    Pimpinan MIC semacam jaguh India kerana everything has been lost.
    Sikap tidak menerima kekalahan dan tamakkan harta akan menjahanamkan BARISAN NASIONAL.

  380. Assalam Tun,
    BN is relevant, UMNO is relevant, MCA is relevant, MIC is relevant.
    Let’s start be relevant, please.
    What is practically not relevant is the current leadership and its premiership.

  381. Dear Tun,
    ..mmg betol BN masih lagi relevan dan saya yakin sampai bile2 yg malaysia adalah contoh resepi utk rakyat yg multi-racial kpd negara besar dan membangun.. semua pemimpin parti BN mmg kena berhenti menuding jari dan bersatu tukar paklah; utk cara pemerintahan dan keputusan yg lebih baik.
    aduhaiiii semua yg dia buat tak kena dari isu jambatan johor-singapura, isu bar counsil sehingga keputusan tangani isu perkauman..semua tak betollah..tak reti buat keputusan. patut dia pergi jumpe Tun dan bincang dan buat jer apa yg tun suruh, sebab tun jer yg tahu semua resepi demokrasi di malaysia =]
    mohd adib abd majid
    -nak jambatan indah huhu 🙁

  382. Dear Tun, you need to make a come back real soon before this country sink further. Look at the economy of the world now, all is not well and can Malaysia withstand it this time. I doubt it very much because the present leadership are so ordinary and all of them cannot think like you did when you were the Prime Minister. We need someone who are really brilliant and experience like you to weather through this gloomy and unpredictable weather. The other day I was scanning through those names in the present cabinet who can lead this country just in case Pak Lah wake up from his slumber and want to resign, non can lead not even Najib. I think the rakyat is really worried. You are the saviour Tun, you have no choice but to come back if you love this country and her people. Maybe not as a Prime Minister, but a senior adviser to the government but with the status of a Minister. Maybe one of your roles is to advise the government and to steer them to the right track so that problem can be overcome and development can continue. I do not know what contigency has pak lah have on his sleeves to counter this global economic downturn. He seems to be very quiet on this subject. He is still harping on his micro unfinished business for the country but nothing on the economic typoon which will touch on everyone life in the country. Please Tun, save us all and make a come back.

  383. Assalamualaikum Tun…..semuga Tun dilempahi barakah dan rahmat oleh Allah SWT…dan saya doakan Tun selamat di dunia dan akhirat…Pertama sekali di ruangan ini ingin saya ucapkan jutaan dan ribuan terimakasih yang tak terhingga kepada Tun kerana selama 21 tahun menerajui negara Tun telah memakmurkan bumi Melayu dan Islam yang tercinta ini. Saya adalah anak yang membesar bersama pemerintahan Tun. Bermula 16 Julai 1981 saya berumur 13 tahun dan sekarang telah berumur 40 tahun..tetap memyokong Tun dan menyokong sehingga ke akhir hayat Tun mahu pun saya. Memang setiap manusia melakukan kesilapan di dalam kehidupannya tetapi apakah erti kesilapan itu jika kebenaran dan kebaikan melebihinya. Tun, di sini di kesempatan ini saya ingin membuat satu permintaan dari Tun…ini adalah impian saya selama ini ..saya ingin bertemu dengan Tun..saya ingin menghabiskan masa walau sebentar dengan Tun..saya ingin bertentang mata dengan Tun seorang pemimpin yang hebat dan agung..saya amat berharap dan merayu agar permintaan saya ini dapat dipenuhi oleh Tun..sekali lagi saya merayu dan amat berharap…terima kasih dan wassalam – [email protected]

  384. as salaamu alaikum Yg Bahagia Tun dan rakan2,
    Masih ada terdengar suara bebudak di bahagian respon blog ini dan dimerata blogosphere yang merintih, kenapa kita tak bagi peluang multi-racial parti memerintah Malaysia, kerana mengikut mereka parti berkomponen ala BN sudah tidak relevan.
    Saya cuma mahu mereka2 ini melihat sekeliling, kerana dunia ini juga ada negara2 yang berbilang kaum atau berbilang ugama atau paling tidak berbilang bahasa, dan lihat bagaimana Malaysia lah satu2 nya negara yang tidak pernah mengalami huru-hara seperti negara2 lain yang berbilang kaum, ugama atau bahasa yang lain.
    Apakah ini kerana tuah tak sengaja atau apakah ini kerana sistem yang kita olah bersama selama 51 tahun yang lepas?
    Saya berpendapat ini adalah kerana usaha2 parti komponen BN dan dasar2 parti komponen BN. Kerana di negara2 lain yang huru hara, mereka tidak mengikut sistem dan dasar yang kita buat selama ini.
    Juga, seperti TDM sarankan, satu pakatan seperti PR yang rapuh secara semulajadi, tidak akan berjaya memerintah negara berbilang kaum ini. Lihat saja di Perak, dimana Menteri Besar memberi tanah kepada sekolah2 Cina atas desakan DAP. Untung MB nya MElayu, kalau terbalik yaitu orang PAS mendesak MB dari DAP untuk memberi tanah kepada sekolah2 ugama apakah kita benar boleh percaya yang MB itu akan akur kepada desakan dari PAS?

  385. Dear Tun,
    Salam Ramadhan dan Salam Syawal.
    Seharian kancah politik negara semakin merapuh hanya menunggu tumbangnya satu persatu pemimpin-pemimpin negara. Saya sendiri semakin perit dan kalau boleh malas nak tengok TV.. Disebabkan laporan-laporan ‘twister’ dari stesyen-stesyen TV..
    Apa akan terjadi kepada negara kita Tun? Adakah dengan perletakan jawatan oleh Pak Lah akan memperbaiki keadaan yang ada sekarang? Dapatkah DS Najib mengawal keadaan?
    Saya semakin takut dengan keaaan yang tak menentu sekarang ni.
    Apa cadangan Tun selain dari perletakan jawatan oleh PM?

  386. Salam Tun..
    Saya ini memperbetulakn pemahaman ‘siam kedah on September 22, 2008 2:34 PM’ mengenai kenyataan mufti perlis tentang penahanan RPK dibawah ISA..
    Ape yang di pertikaian oleh Dr.Asri ialah mengenai rasional kerajaan menggunakn ISA kepada RPK..bukannya mengenai ISA tidak berlandaskan Islam atau tidak..kesalahan yang dibuat RPK ialah mengenai siasah dan hukum Islam..maka kerajaan perlu menjawab tohmahan dan ketidakpahaman hujah yang dikemukan oleh RPK..
    Ini Kenyataan Dr.Asri….
    “Jadi tidak ada alasan untuk menahan orang dengan tidak memberi peluang membela diri. Ini adalah satu tindakan yang salah. Sekiranya orang itu mempunyai kesalahan dari segi hukum agama, buktikan dari segi dalil-dalil agama.
    “Cara kita tangkap orang guna ISA atas kesalahan agama tidak akan menghilangkan salahfaham terhadap Islam. Seharusnya diperjelaskan dulu apa kesalahan itu. Kalau misalnya orang itu menghina Islam atau menyeleweng, buktikan dulu berdasarkan Quran dan hadis.
    “Perlu diperdengarkan pertuduhan itu kepada orang yang dituduh itu. Mungkin juga, ia hanya satu salah faham. Yang penting perdengarkan dulu hujahnya,”
    “Islam bukan agama yang bacul. Perbuatan ISA kerana kesalahan agama seolah-olah menggambarkan orang Islam tidak mampu berhujah, terus tangkap orang. Mereka akan kata mereka benar kerana kita takut berhujah dengan dia.”
    Harap Siam Kedah baca dan paham dengan teliti…

  387. Dear Tun,
    Malaysia had done well during your tenure as Prime Minister, including the Prime Ministers before you. We had peace, and even when there were some ripples, the seas remained calm.
    Today, Tun, deep within our hearts, some of us are concerned that the calm might soon be disrupted. However, Malaysians in general would like to maintain that calm, and we are able to cope because we believe that Tun is still in our midst.
    Tell us, Tun, that we are all Malaysians! It means a great deal to hear you declare so!

    Saya sangat sedih melihat senario politik tanahair dewasa ini. Hari-hari ada saja isu yang dibangkitkan. Kerajaan hentam pembangkang, pembangkang pun begitu. Dalam parti kerajaan bercakar sesama sendiri. Bila lagi nak reda. Kalau asyik macam nie nanti orang luar akan bersorak melagakan kita. Saya dah tak tahu nak sokong yang mana satu. Walaupun saya tak sokong mana-mana pihak, saya nampak pembangkang sekarang lebih menonjol dan lebih berhemah, Tidak menunjukkan persengketaan seperti parti-parti kerajaan. Pergolakkan (jika ada) hanya ditunjukkan oleh media pro kerajaan sahaja, tetapi hampir tiada dalam media alternatif. Parti kerajaan sentiasa melaungkan hanya mereka sahaja yang layak memerintah negara. Tetapi kalau mengikut falsafah di tempat kami, ‘BELUM CUBA BELUM TAHU’ seharusnya digunapakai dalam keadaan sekarang ini. Biarlah DSAI dengan rakan-rakannya ambil alih dan kita boleh menilai dari masa ke semasa kemampuan mereka. Jika baik, teruskan dan jika sebaliknya, kita boleh ubah dalam PRU 13 nanti. Renung-renungkan..

  389. Tun, The problem is umno been a racist party and led by racist leaders continue to treat other components parties as servants or lapdogs.Either we form multi racial parties or give Anwar a chance to show his ways of governing the country.I don’t mind to take a chance.

  390. Tun,
    I respect your decision to uphold with the stance that BN is still the best to rule the country given all its leaders are cooperated with each other for the goodsake of the country.
    However, since the problem now is with the leaderships, with most of the components in the BN, thus something drastic must be done for the BN survival itself.
    Any delay to the change would severely resulted in the breakdown of the BN itself. People need a more reliable and capable leader to lead the country.
    Of course Pakatan Rakyat is not as strong as the BN as it is only come into establishment since last election. However, one thing for sure, its leader Anwar Ibrahim recently is the best leader in our political scenario as proven by his capability of bringing together DAP and PAS which BN failed to do for decades.

  391. I agree that we need a strong government. But then again, which country doesn’t?
    The BN platform is obsolete as Malaysia no longer needs a racial based party that ‘pretends’ to champion communal interest. If Pakatan Rakyat is the only option to get change in this direction, so be it!

  392. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    I agree fully with your views, Tun. The only hope for this country to survive and continue to prosper is for the component parties of BN to work together as before. There must be spirit of give and take among these political parties and racial rethorics must be minimised in order to prevent BN disintegration. The racist political atmosphere make the Malays/Bumiputera moving to one side and the Chinese and Indians to the other side of the political divide. This is a very unhealthy and dangerous prospect for our country. A Statement by an MCA vice president on this matter today is very relevant.
    Anwar may be very naieve to think thatMalays, Chinese and Indians could united under his umbrella. The Malays/Bumiputeras will not abandon UMNO or PBB(in Sarawak) as these are the only parties that guarantee their survival in their own country. Given such a scenario, I believe PAS is likely to pull out of Pakatan Rakyat, otherwise it becomes the only awkward man with Anwar, and very vulnerable in the emergency general election soon(if there is one).
    Malay/Bumiputera voters’ loyalty to these parties is very high. A multiple regression analysis of UMNO votes in 2008 election in the Peninsular Malaysia confirm a high Malay loyalty to UMNO. This factor will deter any Malay MP from leaving UMNO, otherwise he will lose, should general election come soon.
    For detailed analysis, please see article ‘Analisis Undi UMNO dalam pilihanraya 2008: Kajian Kesetiaan Pengundi dan Ahli Parlimen UMNO’, di Blog saya seperti di bawah.

  393. Salam Tun
    Agak pelik jugak sesetengah kenyataan Tun. contohnya BN masih relevan..jika masih relevan, siapakah pemimpin pemimpin pelapis kerajaan BN …jika sungguh Pak Lah tiada langsung karisma dan tak patut meneruskan menjadi PM, kenapa semua Pemimpin BN takut bersuara?Tun pun telah menukar timbalan sebanyak 3 kali kerana tidak bole mencari pemimpin pelapis yg layak.Agak sedih melihat BN yg tak sampai 5 tahun bole sampai haru biru . Sebenarnya walaupun idea multi racial itu relevan dan lengkap untuk Malaysia, tapi atas dasar korupsi dan penyalahgunaan kuasa yg meladak dalam BN, parti itu tersungkur jatuh dan susah nak bangun dah.alangkah bagusnya jika Tun mengubah cara Tun dan mula menekankan idea PR iaitu ketelusan, dan Islamic approach.bermula dengan kes DSAI.Insyallah

  394. Ya . saya memang bersetuju dengan Tun supaya BN duduk berbincang dgn semua anggotanya untuk menjelaskan kedudukan sebenar UMNO , MCA , MIC dan lain2. Yang perlu di jelaskan lagi tentang sejarah penubuhan BN dan apakah peranan UMNO dalam pembentukan BN. Sejarah politik kita harus dicerita kepada rakyat untuk pemahaman yang jelas. Sukatan pelajaran sejarah di sekolah juga perlu diperkemas dan semua maklumat harus lebih detail lagi. Ini untuk menyedarkan pelajar tentang susahnya mencapai kemerdekaan dan asas2 penubuhan BN yang tersiratnya adalah untuk mewujudkan persefahaman antara kaum.
    Nampaknya keterbukaan dan ketelusan yang dianjurkan oleh BN sekarang ini rupanya banyak membawa kepada kehancuran dari kebaikan. Dari pemerhatian saya , sejak 4 tahun ini , akibat banyak pendedahan2 yang berlaku dalam negara lah yang telah membuatkan pergolakan dalam BN. Sebab itulah kita perlu ada ISA dan OSA untuk menjaga kepentingan negara dan bukan kepentingan individu.
    Jadi untuk menyelesaikan perkara2 ini bukanlah mudah. Setelah hampir 39 tahun selepas peristiwa 69′ kita berusaha menjaga negara kita dari dirosakkan dgn dakyah2 perkauman ini . Usaha ini nampaknya bagai retak menanti belah. Saya rasa Tun patut masuk campur dalam urusan ini kerana ini adalah untuk keselamatan negara yang Tun kasihi. Tolonglah Tun buatlah sesuatu agar kita melayu ,cina dan india dapat hidup bersama kembali seperti dulu tanpa banyak bicara mengenai hak – hak melayu. Yang penting mereka dapat menghormati hak-hak melayu dan sebaliknya hak mereka untuk mencari rezeki di Tanah Melayu tidak akan diganggu. Sama-sama lah kita bertolak ansur. Beginilah yang berlaku di zaman Tun menjadi PM kalau tak salah saya.
    Akhir sekali bagaimana pandangan Tun untuk menghadapi ancaman Anwar Ibrahim? Beliau ini lebih menakutkan kita.

  395. …mcm mana AAB bole jd PM?? negeri sendiri pun dah tergadai…
    …kasi can org negeri lain la plak…Johor ke….
    kalu perjuangan atas dasar agama, bangsa dan tanahair…senang
    tapi kalu dah atas dasar kebendaan, kuasa & keluarga…punah!!!

  396. Salam TUN,
    Memang tepat analisa yang Tun berikan,
    Sekarang kita dpt lihat yang parti komponen BN tidak mempunyai semangat persahabatan dan kerjasama sebagai satu pasukan lagi.
    Masing-masing cuba menjadi jaguh kampung bagi kaum mereka sahaja dan mengeluarkan kenyataan-kenyataan yang menyinggung perasaan kaum lain.
    Pada masa yang sama parti pembangkang mengambil kesempatan ini bagi menanam perasaan benci masyarakat kepada BN melalui ROAD TOUR mereka terutama di 5 negeri yang mereka perintah. Pelbagai perkara dibangkitkan didalam siri ceramah mereka, dan dengan keadaan percakaran diantara parti komponen BN sekarang yang tersebar luas didada-dada akhbar maka mereka (parti pembangkang)mendapat kelebihan.
    Saya hanyalah Insan kerdil yang tidak mempunyai apa-apa pangkat dan pengaruh di dalam sistem politik Malaysia. Tetapi apa yang saya perhatikan, dan hendak saya nyatakan ialah..
    Sudah sampai masanya kita semua (parti kompenan BN)membuang yang keruh dan mengambil yang jernih. Janganlah hanya tahu menjaga kepentingan peribadi iaitu pangkat dan harta…berhentilah dari apa yang anda semua lakukan dan perhatikanlah kami yang berada di bawah ini. Malaysia yang disayangi sedang menuju kearah kehancuran.
    Sekian

    Adakah boleh kita katakan makanan ini, sebagai makanan Anjing
    a) Nasi,Lauk telur, kuah gulai dan timun.
    Atau b) Nasi bubur,Lauk sayur dan Lobak Asin.
    Atau c) Tose, dal, susu masam dan sambal kelapa.
    Kalau saya katakan (a) adalah makanan Anjing = Saya pasti Melayu Akan Marah
    Kalau saya katakan (b) adalah makanan Anjing = Saya pasti Cina Akan Marah
    Kalau saya katakan (c) adalah makanan Anjing = India Akan Marah
    Semua makanan yang disebut diatas itu adalah makanan standard Malaysia, mengapakah ia dikatakan Makanan Anjing, saya sebagai orang melayu sangat rasa terhina kerana makanan (a) itulah yang membesarkan kami sekeluarga dan ia menjadi makanan sarapan setiap keluarga melayu yang berpendapatan sederhana dan rendah, adakah makanan kami disamakan dengan makanan ANJING wajarkah, bantulah kami Dr.M sabar kami ada batasnya! Jangan lagi kami diinjak-injak sebegini, kami melayu ada maruah.

  398. Dear Tun,
    Yes, BN is like a sick patient at present that needs to be resuscitated accordingly. A good doctor will try to identify the problems,make a correct diagnosis and offer the best of treatment available. However at present there are only witch doctors making the patient sicker.

  399. Dearest Tun,
    Agree with Tun, in this time of re-branding and re-structuring, it is timely that UMNO and BN to review and re-structure the org respectively. But I’m not seeing it happening, not this near future. It is business as usual at all grass-root levels. Nobody is leaving any post, especially the old timers who had been there ever since due to the “pak-turut” ability. Many are without constructive ideas but are there due to claimed loyalty, but at any opportunity will have lots to bicker at each other. How can we progress?
    I am at the grassroots and love UMNO and BN, but with what’s happening, I now understand the stand I took in protesting the 2008 election. Regret it, but had no choice. On the other hand, one thing good had surfaced, the truth in every character/player. Just hope the damage is remediable.
    Salam. Selamat Berbuka Tun dan keluarga.

  400. Asalamualaikum and Hi,
    May Allah bless you Tun, your family and the rest of Malaysia citizens. A very wise advice from a senior citizen; which were once a head of our country. Tun Dr. Mahathir has his share of our finest history in developing Malaysia and whether we like him or not, he has proven it! Malaysia Boleh!
    Although you’re powerless now, I believe your words are listened even more via the internet blogging world. I believe the power-of-speech you’re yielding now is far more superior than those people in our weak Government and those culprits from the Oppositions.
    You are a prime example of ‘freedom of speech’. While the Opposition’s blog kept on censoring Pro-Government’s comments, and the Government’s blog kept on censoring Anti-Government comments; you on the other hand, allows a handful of these Pro-Government and Opposition’s comments to seep into your blog website. Thus giving a full view of the entire Malaysia perspective on politics, sociology and economics.
    Never I have seen a political-based blogging website has such higher degree of credibility and freedom. Anwar, Raja Petra and other blogging websites are rubbish, gibberish and one-sided political drama.
    As for your share of opinion up there, I have to agree, our BN components are starting to shaken up. They should stop acting like a small 2 years old kid and start thinking like a grown up. They should loosen up a little bit. Take a deep breath, and discuss professionally amongst themselves on how to pressure Pak Lah’s resignation as soon as possible.
    Restoration of Barisan Nasional credibility must commence now and it should start with the resignation of Pak Lah. The other leaders in UMNO should view this matters seriously and don’t take things for granted. BN and UMNO are at the brink of destruction. I really wonder why the Malays in UMNO are still silencing? Silence of the lamb ‘kot’? That ‘gula-gula’ given out by Pak Lah will not last long my dear Malays.
    The world economy is collapsing due to weak Dollar and we have no time to play politics; its time to stabilize our economy. Once, in the past, during the days of Tun Dr. Mahathir premiership, our country’s economy are nicknamed as the Oriental Tiger. Today, we are no more than a toothless tiger waiting to be devour by the bigger lions out there.
    May Allah bless us all in this month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak.

  401. Salam TUN,
    Really agree with your thoughts esp point no. 19.
    Stop all the nonesense, wake up and start working. There are many things ahead need to done(3F= fuel/food/financial)
    Kerajaan BN,kerajaan yg disegani oleh semua parti.Namun disebabkan oleh faktor2 seperti yg sudah jelas,BN tumbang. Tapi setakat itu sahajakah kemampuan pemimpin kita?
    Sebagai perwarisBN, saya tidak jemu mengatakan kepada sume rakan pembangkang, yg BN is still the best solution provider.As per your thoughts, there’s no party that have this type of formula:
    multi-racial + multi-lingual + multi-religious + multi-cultural country = BN
    Sebagai org muda,sy dah jemu dgn propaganda pembangkang.We need a new BN,fresh thoughts but still hold to the basic.
    We need you TUN..PM utk kali ke-2??

  402. Dear Tun, you are obsolutely right that the BN concept is very much relevant and even if the opposition is in the government, they still have to use the BN concept where all races need to work hand in globe. No single race can rule this country be it Chinese, Indian or Malay. They still have to work and cooperate closely together.
    I do not know why the BN component parties are so afraid to kick out leaders who are non performance and have no ideas on how to rule the country and solve problems. What are there to loose? Nothing! at the most you will only be passed on for some other leaders who like to ‘bodek’ the leadership. But you be proud of yourself for holding your head up because you have stood your ground. Come on leaders stand up and be counted! Do not be afraid, please save this country from the imminent disaster! It is coming if you all do not boot out the present leadership and with the global economic downturn looming, the disaster is definately coming our way. Amen.

  403. Permisi Tun,
    Yes the time has come for BNll.
    Pak Dolah must go first, .
    ALL the component mca, mic , gerakan and umno must elect their presidents,
    Cabinet major reshuffle with new PM.
    THen put all the thrust with full power to propel this malaysia to new height.
    Review the 2009 budget and put every thing on track again.
    THe opposition party should put on assesment about their performances in the five states they are governing. Have they deliver the goods?.
    Some one from BN or better still all those BN taiko must do all the talking to counter all d bad mouth from the oppsition with the same tune.
    Tun , I praise for your good health, maaf zahir bathin.

  404. Y Bhg. Tun,
    I admire your son, Mukhriz.
    He has shown some quality that you have.
    He shall arise one day.
    Respect!

  405. Assalammualaikum TUN
    Seperti artikel Tun sebelum ini,tonggak kekuatan BN adalah terletak kepada kekuatan UMNO.Untuk mengembalikan kekuatan BN;UMNO perlu diperkukuhkan semula.
    UMNO harus dikembalikan kepada ahli-ahlinya kerana UMNO kepunyaan semua dan bukan hanya sekelompok sahaja.
    Budaya orang UMNO harus diubah,UMNO bukan untuk mengkayakan diri atau kumpulan tertentu.
    Percayalah..apabila UMNO menjadi kuat,BN akan menjadi kuat dan semua parti komponen akan bersatu dan inilah kekuatan BN yang tiada pada Pakatan Rakyat.

  406. Assalamualaikum w.b.t Ayahanda Tun,
    Sebenarnya, saya masih sokong BN tapi “Tua Nyanyuk Dollah” ada dalam BN, sumpah aku tak sokong BN. Nanti dia ingat kita sokong dia padahal kita cuma wakil rakyat di tempat kita sendiri yang berjuang demi BN dan bukannya Pak Lah. Pak Lah masih bongkak pasal dia menang kat tempat dia sendiri. Itu pun pasal dia bolot dan salah guna media untuk berkempen. Sebelum pilihanraya, muka dia la yang banyak keluar tv. Publisiti murahan.
    Sekarang ni saya nak percaturan Anwar pula macam mana? Seperti saya komen sebelum ni, saya tak menyokong mana-mana parti kecuali parti yang hebat saja. Cuma kalau Pak Lah masih gila kuasa lagi, tak mustahil Anwar akan memerintah negara. Ini kerana saya tahu Anwar bijak. Tak kira la orang nak kata apa, tapi selagi Pak Lah pencetus kebangkitan Anwar dan kemarahan rakyat cuma tahu menuduh itu ini tak letak jawatan, orang yang cintakan negara, rakyat dan BN tak akan boleh bangkit.
    Sekian.
    Selamat Hari Raya dan Selamat Sejahtera kepada Tun sekeluarga serta rakyat Malaysia.
    Wasalam.

  407. Dear Tun,
    My father and my whole family have all the high respects towards you. We all cried when you announced that you were going to step down. Looking back at the video, everybody was surprised and shocked with your decision and all of them were feeling sad at that moment. Everybody, BUT….Pak Lah! Try to look back at the video. Muka yang langsung tidak ikhlas.
    Anyway, of course Pak Lah tak nak resign. Who is behind him? KJ…Pak Lah is like a puppet. KJ has his own agenda. He will make sure he will be in a strong position before he allows Pak Lah to resign. KJ ni dia macam Anwar lah….the younger, much more educated version of Anwar.
    By the way, the best candidate to be our PM will be either one of these two:
    1) Tengku Razaleigh hamzah
    2) Musa Hitam
    But then, the question is how to get these either one?
    To Our Beloved Tun Dr Mahathir….pls pls pls….Be our PM back even for a short period, just to repair what ever the damage that Pak Lah has done. I pray for your good health and May Allah bless you!! I love you!

  408. Salam buat Tun dan rakan bloggers,
    51 tahun merdeka adalah bukti kukuh bahawa BN adalah yang terbaik. Kalau DSAI dikatakan pemimpin baik,sebelum dipecat dulu dah tunjuk hero tapi dia ini lain yang ditunjuknya.
    YB T Kok, dulu masa DSAI ditahan dan dipenjarakan tak dengar pun DSAI merungut tentang makanan,kenapa YB Kok merungut? Dasar YB pembelit , kalau kali kedua kena tahan saya syorkan YB jenis ini diberi makan sama jenis dengan biawak ( makan bangkai),mula mula cakap lain esok cakap lain,lu punya hati banyak busuk ma….
    maaf Tun , manusia ini mencari politik murahan…no class.
    selamat berpuasa.

  409. Salam Tun
    What u are saying is true.People are soo fed up our current
    PM PAK DOLLAH.
    But this PAK DOLLAH is soo good playing deaf n dumb in soo far
    PAK DOLLAH is playing it soo well.

    KSAH old boys.

  410. Salam Tun,
    Ya, Im totally agree with you Tun.
    We must not throw out the baby with the bath water. “It’s may sound funny, but very strict quote”…
    BN still very indeed relevant…but the leader on the top “now” is no longer relevant….pleaselah….

  411. Tun…
    umpama orang yang terjun ke laut dengan sendirinya dari kapal,
    meraung dan memekik supaya orang lain terjun juga bersama kita kerana kapal akan karam dan nakhoda kapal tak pandai kemudi kapal…tapi kita sendiri tenggelam timbul tenggelam timbul…masih dok fikir nak berenang semula ke kapal atau terus tenggelam dan lemas sendirian.Sedangkan masa terus berlalu…..
    bila kita rasa kita saja yang betul..orang lain semuanya nampak salah…bila kita rasa mungkin kita tersilap,maka mungkin ada orang lain yang betul…dan bila kita rasa menyesal…sudah tentu kita tersilap…maka masih ramai lagi orang yang sudi bersama kita dan menolong kita…
    bila kita berjuang demi agama,bangsa…maka kepentingan diri dan peribadi kena letak ketepi…..
    orang tak akan percayakan atau ikut cakap kita selamanya kerana orang lain juga ada hati dan akal…
    wokyoh.

  412. Salam TUN,
    I am retiree from my own business.I moved my family to Kuantan from Kuala Lumpur.I find peace and tranquility facing the South China Sea.But, now I am saddened with the current politics in the country.How my children gonna face in years to come.Politicians bickering at each other,1 year already wasted.If in business 1 week without any closed deal, means 3 months down the line means trouble in getting the overhead cleared let alone talking about profit. Please do something TUN.Majority of the politicians we have in UMNO are lickers.They are empty cans,as a result they play money politics in order to win(source from govt. tenders)as such they are tight lip in addressing issues which affects their livelihood.At least our former DeFacto law minister has the guts to quit and put his foot down.
    I agree with that BN is still the best party at this time,what we need is a concerted effort from all parties to sit down and think of reengineering back BN,personal and race matter aside.
    The only person that can bring all BN component parties together is only YOU TUN.

  413. Tun,
    1)Since you have made a diagnosis of the current situation,why not suggest a detailed solution?Just like you have suggested that our RM should be repegged,now the government may agree to implement it.
    2)What do you think of the post of FM 2?Do you agree that it is about time to get rid of it?
    3)You mention that the BN is still the best political solution Provider.How?For once I cannot view the current leaders are capable to sort out a new path for the rakyat and economy.What is the new ideal solution for all or where is the central line which every one should adhere to?
    4)The Chinese would want the FM portfolio back.Can it be done?

  414. Salam Ramadhan Tun yg dikasihi.
    Kita tak cuba PR lagi.
    So far BN dah bercelaru sebab paklah tak reti nak handle. Nak betulkan balik BN ni will take time.
    Let us be fair.
    Open up our mind.
    Let PR perintah first and we’ll see the outcome.
    Anwar had gone tru quite a long training under you sir. And you had confirmed his ability to run the country. This endorsement is very important. Out of personal disliking, you suddenly disapprove him.
    I know deep in your heart you will agree that Anwar is still the best choice we have at this very moment, to save the country from all the havoc.
    so, please sir, for once,for the sake and for the love of our country. If you could probably try to admit this fact. Just throw away your pride for a moment and declare the truth.
    yee.

  415. Assalamualaikum YB Tun
    BN is still relevan.. Betoi tapi BN mesti kena ‘post moterm’
    by who?? You Doc!!!!!

  416. Saya setuju dengan pendapat Tun,
    Kalau pakatan rakyat memerintah ,saya rasa akan berlaku huru hara,sekarang pun pelbagai isu perkauman dan agama dimainkan walaupun mereka tahu ia begitu sensitif, saya pun tidak tahu berapa lama orang melayu akan menahan sabar dan saya rasa begitu juga cina, ini disebabkan oleh pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggungjawab mencetuskan api kemarahan termasuk majlis peguam dan sesetengah ahli politik yang mengambil langkah mudah dan sempit untuk mendapat sokongan.Saya rasa kemarahan semakin meningkat hanya tunggu meletus sahaja jika perkara ini tidak dibendung.Pentadbiran sekarang terlalu terbuka dan membenarkan orang terlalu bebas bersuara termasuk menyentuh sensetiviti sesuatu kaum, sepatutnya ini tidak berlaku kerana boleh mencetuskan keadaan yang tidak tenteram.Diharap tindakan ISA dikenakan dengan tegas keatas sesiapa yang memulakan atau menyentuh isu-isu sensitif.

  417. Dearest TUN,
    My opinion, a very true and to the point comment today.
    Keep it up and God bless you and family.

  418. Dear YAB Tun.
    “The BN is still relevant.
    It is still the ideal coalition for Malaysia’s multi-racial population”.
    An indepth advice that need to be digested.

  419. Salaam Tun,
    What’s happening now in Malaysia has never happened before during your era. No Hindraf, No Ahmad Ismail, Nobody dares to play the race card to the level or degree that we are seeing now.
    Why? Because of the strong and decisive leadership by you (your political enemies may say because of your dictatorship style)
    But the fact remains that race relationship was far much better from 1981-2003. Those who deny this fact are indeed blind and should be sent to “Pusat latihan Orang Buta Brickfields’ to learn new skills in order to survive in this era.
    Another factor is due to indecisiveness and ‘flip-flop’ stand of AAB. At one time he said Ahmad Ismail should apologise, then he said Ahmad did not mean to be a racist, then after that he told all of us that Ahmad was too much. Even my kids are confused. Let alone the British investors that are ready to open their company branch in Malaysia.
    Please accept the fact that BN consist of at least 3 main racist parties; UMNO (Malay racist party), MCA (Chinese racist party) and MIC (Indian racist party). These parties are racists. Period.
    So to manage and control three different race-based party, BN needs a very strong type of leader like Tun Dr Mahathir.
    If the government arrested Sin Chew reporter and Teresa under ISA only to be released in a short time, why on the first place bother to arrest them. Both Ahmad and the reporter should be arrested. You have done that during Operasi Lallang. You arrested leaders from opposition, Lim Kit Siang as well as the Malay champion like Ibrahim Ali that time
    When AAB arrested them, the Chineses are angry.When he released them in such a short time as if the initial arrest were made without any strong legal basis, the Malays are angry.
    Now Teresa’s accusation about ‘dog food’ quality for ISA detainees published everywhere, even here in the UK. So what benefits that our country gained from AAB short-mindedness and recent ISA outburst? Nothing.
    One thing for sure, every time I passed-by Madame Tussaud here on my way to Regents Park Mosque to pray, I am positively sure that if Abdullah Badawi wax to be put inside Madame Tussaud, they will be spoilt for choices, in term of as to which sleeping styles to select from many different styles of AAB caught sleeping in public!

  420. whatever you are saying – is not working out. the future pm doesn’t want to peg ringgit. and for your info- this country is going hay-wired- i have no idea who has cursed this country!! actually it seems more like a drama- anwar is saying something and no action from him. badawi is saying something and changing minds frequently- najib is staying away from all the troubles – denying everything just like pak lah!! seems to be living in fantasy!..everyone are the same!! SEMUA SAMA AJE!!

  421. Assalamualaikum…
    “22. As the Malays say “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.”
    Bak kata pepatah melayu ” Bersatu Teguh, Bercerai Roboh “. Kehadapan Tun yang saya hormati. Saya adalah insan yang baru berumur 24 tahun. Ini bermakna hampir 90% umur saya adalah ketika dalam pemerintahan Tun.
    Namun, apa yang paling membuatkan saya kagum pada Tun ialah ketika krisis kewangan pada 1997-1999. Yang mana ketika itu Tun menongkah arus. Dan ramai mungkin yang kata ketika itu bahawa tindakan Tun “Bodoh” “Bebal”……namun hakikatnya??????
    Ramai yang terpaksa tabik spring kepada Tun kerana berjaya mengemudi Malaysia daripada terjerumus kedalam krisis kewangan yang lebih teruk.
    Ramai cendekiawan dan ekonomis yang terkejut dengan kejayaan tersebut.
    Dalam konteks internal pula saya berpendapat tidaklah salah pun sekiranya Tun memberikan teguran… ” Ambil Yang Jernih Dan Buang Yang Keroh ”
    *~~~~~~~ Wassalam ~~~~~~~~*

  422. Salam Tun. Saya sebenarnya agak terkilan juga negara kita sudah merdeka 51 tahun tetapi perkauman masih lagi wujud dalam diari masyarakat kita. Sudah 51 tahun negara merdeka tetapi perpaduan kita gagal utuhkan.
    Hairan… sudah 51 tahun masih ‘perpaduan teras kejayaan’ diungkapkan. Tun, pendapat peribadi saya dengan jujur saya beranggapan masalah perpaduan sebenarnya berpunca daripada sistem pendidikan yang lemah! Pendidikan kita sebenarnya menggalakkan perkauman.
    Tidakkah kita lihat bahawa mengelompok kanak-kanak mengikut ras menanamkam sikap perkauman? Sekarang inipun Menteri Pelajaran telah mengatakan sekiranya PnP Matematik dan Sains diajar semula dalam Bahasa Melayu, ia akan bermula di sekolah rendah lagi. Darjah satu. Katanya untuk elak kekeliruan pelajar.
    Jadi, dalam hal perkauman bagaimana? perlukah kita menunggu semua kanak-kanak mencapai umur 13 tahun baru ditanamkan sikap tidak ‘berpuak-puak?’. Ini juga perlukan pendekatan ‘mula dari bawah…’
    Saya bukanlah pakar bahkan saya cumalah semut kecil lagi tidak berkuasa. saya sekadar memberi komentar apa yang sepatutnya dilakukan untuk mewujudkan bangsa Malaysia sejati.
    SK, SJKC, SJKT bagaikan kelompok parti.Bergabung membentuk kerajaan. Kanak-kanak dari 3 jenis sekolah inilah mewujudkan pemimpin BN, MCA, MIC. Sampai bila ingin begini. Percayalah, perkauman akan terus menebal sekiranya sistem pendidikan tidak diubah mulai sekarang!
    Lihatlah apa sudah jadi sekolah wawasan? sekolah integrasi? semua untuk mewujudkan perpaduan. Tetapi hasilnya? nothing! selagi SK, SJKC, dan SJKT tidak difikirkan semula, beginilah kita… bertelagah sesama sendiri, curiga-mencurigai…
    Wassalam…

  423. Salam Tun
    While I disagreed slightly with your earlier post (BN I), I now fully agree with your latest post ( BN II), especially your view that there is need for ‘new thinking on BN” while maintaining the underlying spirit of inter-ethnic accommodation.
    Also, on the economic side, Al Jazeera today 22/9, quoted an economist from Third World Network who pointed out the ironic double standard of the current US government’s bailout of Wall Street versus accusation of cronyism against your administration’s intervention to rescue government-linked companies in 1997.
    You must feel vindicated ! Well done for doing the right thing.

  424. “19. I am not an UMNO member”
    there are talks that Tun are planning to be in the UMNO again..
    can u clarify this issue Tun.
    and i would like to suggest that rather than saying only things about the current political turmoil (which by now we are quite bored about), we also want to hear more about yourself.
    About you and and your wife, the activities you do with your family, especially your grandchildren and all.
    Maybe putting up some pics of you and them.
    Personal touch as some says.
    Take care
    AZMI KHAN

  425. Salam Tun,
    The BN use to think that the MALAYSIANS not dare to go for the change, maybe they in think the rakyat won’t take the risk. Mind you, the opposition can now able to sit down together and talk. But wether they can uphold the values of our constituitions, yet to be seen. Like you have always said before there are no permanant enemy or friend in politics.
    But personally for me BN is always my choise. For BN be more effective those old folks must go.

  426. My most respected and admired Tun
    Selagi BN tetap tidur and tidak berubah, rakyat tiada pilihan selain menyokong PR.
    If BN does indeed lose power they have only their own inaction to blame.

  427. its time for AAB to step down before he destroys the country.. will he?
    he has the defence porfolio but he is still khazanah chairman.. amcam?

  428. Tun,
    Apa yang Tun huraikan satu per satu sememangnya kebenaran yang sebenarnya sedang berlaku.Kepimpinan yang ada kini telah hilang pertimbangan.Gantung yang satu tapi tangkap yang lain.ketidaktentuan menentukan keputusan atau tindakan telah menyebabkan kebangkitan lebih ramai kemarahan antara kaum dan menjadi alasan untuk menjadikan pembangkang lebih kuat dan BN menjadi terus lemah.
    BN sesungguhnya masih relevan dan terus relevan untuk sesebuah negara berbilang kaum.
    Buah fikiran Tun sememangnya menampakkan apa yang berlaku sekarang dan bagaimana cara terbaik untuk mengatasi dan menyelesaikan masaalah ini.Tetapi adakah orang yang berada di dalam, berani dan sanggup melakukannya apa yang dicadangkan oleh Tun dari luar demi bangsa dan negara dan bukan kerana kepentingan peribadi semata2.
    Katahuilah dan akuilah yang berada “di dalam” akan apa yang diperkatakan oleh Tun itu sebenar2nya benar dan itu sahaja cara untuk mengatasinya.Maka,dengarlah dan lakukanlah.
    Mungkin kita bukan negarawan,mungkin kita bukan patriotik,mungkin juga kita tidak menghiraukan orang lain dan mungkin kita tidak menghiraukan apa yang berlaku disekeliling kita, Tapi apa yang penting sekali walau apa pun pandangan kita, kita harus hidup dalam keadaan aman dari segala espek baik dari segi politik, ekonomi, bangsa dan juga agama.
    Maka, orang2 “di dalam” lakukan lah sesuatu kerana ianya adalah lebih baik di lakukan dari dalam.Ianya akan menjadi buruk sekiranya ianya berlaku dari luar.Renung2kan lah, NAUZUBILLAH-MINZALIKH.
    WASSALAM.
    Akram.

  429. Dear Tun
    The country needs a strong leader to overcome all or most of the existing problems! The longer Pak Lah stays in power the country will be in chaos! None of the politicians are bold enough to challenge the top leaders and fight for the truth all the way i.e Pak Lah must go!!! If he remains PM after the UMNO meeting in December, I dread the worst to come to all Malaysians.
    Asaby

  430. The current BN is hopeless.
    They did not use ISA on Ahmad who try to stir racial disharmony but choose to arrest someone who is innocent.
    The excuses were simply illogical. The government thinks the rakyat is stupid? If they continue to treat us with nonsense, they will continue to rot and fail.

  431. Tun, what we need right now, more than anything else is the unifying wisdom that you possess.
    I hope the current administration would take heed of your opinions and views, although not in the open, but still these thoughts be given due considerations.
    For all Malaysians.

    “15. I once said Malaysia as a multi-racial country needs a strong government. Multi-racial countries have to face race relation problems. With the need to handle racial problems, the managment of the economy becomes extremely difficult.”
    Saya sangat setuju tun. kawan-kawan saya samada orang melayu, india dan cina mengeluh pasal kerajaan yang lembek ni.
    menurut mereka, kita hadapi krisis 3F sekarang ni (Foods, Fuels and Finance) tapi kerajaan sekarang hilang punca dan arah tuju pulak.
    kawan-kawan dalam parti pembangkang pun takut. mereka cuma nak membangkang je.. tapi bila kerajaan sekarang ni goyang, mereka takut mereka terpaksa pikul beban tu nanti. jadi mereka minta supaya kerajaan yang ada sekarang ni lakukan sesuatu supaya menjadi kuat semula. jelas mereka mereka hanya tahu membangkang je… mereka tak berminat untuk memerintah..

  433. I agreed with you Tun. My mother always said whatever happens, she will always with UMNO dulu kini dan selamanya, and I believe we should not run away or blame each other. We should ask ourself what went wrong and do some correction. Please do PDCA cycle, Plan, Do, Check, and Action. Make a Huge Fishbone Diagram with many bones so we can writedown all our problems, then lets focus one by one and find a solutions or countermeasure. Do in teamwork.
    I wonder are they doing this???

  434. Dear Tun,
    I wish someone can safe the economy of our country. Like what Tun quoted at your previous write-up, the world is facing a bad time but non of our leaders notice it coming. They only worried about their own interest. I’m really worried, day by day we see the currency shooting up, business decreasing, bad collection, things getting more and more expensive. It had affected not only the lower income group but also the middle income group. I also agreed with Tun if we re-peg the Ringgit. I do not know how much it will be, but for me I think it shouldn’t be more than RM 3.10 = USD 1.00. Althought may not be a good revenue for our export market, but most of our operating cost are due to imports. If import cost are high, it will not benefit the export as well because of the cost of operation are high too. God bless this country!

  435. Akum Tun,
    Pak Lah telah gagal menyatukan BN serta tidak dapat menangkis serangan dari pembangkang,seperti kes2 berprofile tinggi seperti pengambilan tanah di Pulau Pinang, Najib dengan wanita Mongolia(mengapa menahan RPK dalam ISA), Pak Lah asik tidur serta tiada perkembangan ekonomi.Akibat itu sebilangan rakyat telah yakin dengan tomahan2 pembangkang walaupun adanya yang tidak benar.
    Akhir2 sekali harga minyak meningkat dan kini dengan harga minyak dunia turun keparas USD105 per barrel, kalau mengikut pengiraan purata sebulan USD 100 per barrel.
    USD100 x RM3.48/159 litre = RM2.19 per litre
    discount 10% = RM 1.97 per litre
    Sekarang rakyat yang menderita terpaksa menanggung kerajaan dengan membayar RM 2.50 seliter iaitu perbezaan 0.53sen. Sungguh lucu sekali apabila menanggung kerajaan.Hehehe
    Oleh saya yakin BN akan tewas pada PRU13 akan datang, memandangkan sikap pemimpin BN yang ketidakperihatian terhadap rakyat.

  436. i’m second
    selamat berpuasa dan menyambut aidilfitri kepada tun sekeluarga
    terima kasih atas jasa tun selama ini

  437. Dear Dr. Mahathir,
    I really agree with you. You had table out a lots of reasons why our PM now is not capable to run the country. But now i looking views from you to justify all that if govt will need to be change. Can you highlight how Dato’ Najib can do better ( if Najib will be the PM). may be we miss that points. Can you list out all things can do better if new government fill have to setup soon. I hope you don’t mind to share some of it, even though Najib may use you ideas…

  438. I dont agree on your point no.7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays.The rakyat are not angry with each other,it is the politicians (you included) that is trying to split the races in order to gain support and popularity.The rakyat are dissapointed with the quality of our PM and the cabinet.Look at how our Home Minister handle questions from the press,oh my god!! Cant believe he is a lawyer.Well, NEP product mah !!!

  439. Tun,
    Tumpang lalu:
    For those Racists who are going to jump on TUN over this Blog;
    I was alerted to read the today’s NST on a Q&A with Tan Sri Dr Khoo Kay Kim on the current issue of the Race Relations, which I found very educational and invigorating that answers all our doubts all along. Please make an opportunity to read it. You would not be disappointed!
    Incidentally, on page 2, Pak Lah was seen seated next to his wife who was holding a Quran. I wonder if “their air sembahyang” tak batal lagi, or maybe Islam Hadhari allows it kot?!

  440. How r u, Tun??
    I agree w u that we r all looking for scapegoats when something is not right.. MCA & Gerakan are angry at UMNO, UMNO is also unhappy w them bcos they didnt or couldn’t deliver the chinese votes to BN.. No one is really looking within themselves to see wat the real raesons r for their defeat..
    Do they not see if this problem is solved soon, it might break us up as a nation??? To break is easy but to build it up again may take us another eternity..

  441. Dear Tun,
    You are right,if we still do not changed the captain, the ship is sinking fast and is going faster than we thought.Few clients of mine has pulling out their investment in Malaysia recently not only because of the unstable political & economy issues but also lost confidence towards our government. They have set up their factory for the plastic medical equipments and obtained an apporval from the custom execise in PUTRAJAYA and confirmed the item imported to M’sia will be tax free but was being charged 24 % tax when the containers arrived in KLIA cargo simply because that the officer in KLIA refused to recognise the approval letter from Putrajaya & Kelana Jaya. Few millions of investment left M’sia and several company are doing so soon. What the hell is going on in the government departments again !! I have no explainations for my foreign investors but shameful for our government.

  442. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Apa yang Tun perkatakan bahawa BN masih relevan memang tidak dapat dinafikan. Dari sejarah memang BN telah memainkan peranan yang begitu besar sekali dalam pembangunan negara Malaysia.
    Walaubagaimanapun, hari ini kita boleh lihat disebabkan kepimpinan yang lemah dalam BN menyebabkan parti ini sedang menuju kemusnahan. Sehingga diantara parti kompenan dalam BN saling menuding jari antara satu sama lain untuk menutup kelemahan masing-masing.
    Negara ini memerlukan pemimpin yang dapat menyatukan rakyat berbilang kaum. Jika dilihat kepada senario sekarang pemimpin-pemimpin tak kira dari mana-mana parti, sewenang-wenangnya meniupkan api permusuhan antara kaum.
    Minta jasa baik untuk Tun melakukan sesuatu bagi memperbetulkan keadaan ini. Jangan sampai nasi sudah menjadi bubur.
    Selamat berpuasa Tun. Wassalam.

  443. Salam Tun,
    Artikel Tun menunjukkan keadaan dlm BN sudah semakin parah. Makanya anwar berani cabar paklah untuk sidang tergempar. Beliau ingin mengambil kesempatan atas keadaan sekarang. Waktu sama anwar juga tahu paklah gelabah dan takkan berani sahut cabaran, jadi serampang dua mata – lebih masa buat anwar kerana belum cukup katak
    – mcm catur, anwar dah jalan, sekarang giliran paklah
    pula. jadi rakyat dah lupa janji 16/9. Kemaluan anwar tak
    lah besar !
    dalam apajua perbalahan, kalau isu sebenar tidak mau diakui, kita akan ungkit segala macam ketidakpuasan hati. Tidak akan ada penyelesaian, lepas satu2 di ungkit. puncanya tidak disentuh langsung walaupun masing2 tahu dan cuma pendamkan. isu utama paklah, tapi yang diungkit sentimen kaum…
    sudah2lah paklah. Tolonglah…rakyat nak cari makan. Dalam keadaan berpecah belah begini, mustahil negara dapat menangani masalah ekonomi global yang semakin parah. Hari2 berita politik, berita ekonomi makin meruncing cuba di ‘downtone’ kan, seolah2 negara tidak ada masalah.

  444. Asalamualaikum Tun.Bilakah mereka ini akan mendengar pandangan Tun,walaupun BN fomula terbaik dalam parti corak perkauman namun kerpercayaan orang ramai kian terhakis.Rakyat melihat,membaca dan mula bersuara melalui pilihanraya.Apa jaminan hubungan ini akan pulih bila pengantinya golongan pemuda pun cuba meraih populariti dengan isu perkauman.

  445. Salam Tun…
    Things going bad recently…
    I juz hope dat there is someone that can replace our PM…
    Not Anwar Ibrahim but someone who thinks wisely like you…
    Or Tun, i think you should govern Malaysia again…
    Nothin is impossible in politics rite Tun??
    Lots of people support you…
    Thanx..

  446. BN is not longer relevant
    Before it might seem like only Pak Lah is the subject matters
    but now, Millions of Malaysia has already know their leader (BN-Gov) true colors
    Again, Rom is not build within a night, but ruin within a night!

  447. Salam Dr M
    Semoga sihat selalu.
    Kekadang kita pelik bin ajaib bila ada ramai orang berminat nak jadi pemimpin walaupun mereka-meraka ini tidak tahu untuk menjalankan tugas mereka yang sebenar sebagai seorang pemimpin.
    Pemimpin mestilah mempunyai ciri-ciri berikut yang boleh diperlihat dan diterjemahkan dari firikan dan tindakannya.
    a) SIDDEK = SENTIASA BERKATA BENAR
    b) TABLIGH = MENYAMPAIKAN PERKARA KEBENARAN
    c) AMANAH = PEMIMPIN YANG BERTANGGUNGJAWAB
    d) FATONAH = MEMBAWA KEBAIKAN KEPADA RAKYAT YANG DIPIMPIN
    Sukar untuk saya mencari mana-mana ahli politik samada dari BN atau PR yang mempunyai ciri-ciri diatas.
    Yang Ikhlas

  448. Barisan Nasional component party’s leader seem to be panic without the right leadership among them. This situation gave advantages for the opposition, people seem to have no better choice than giving the opposition an opportunity. The culture of BN make leaders not willing to give but only take, so restructuring BN is not easy if the leaders are greed. Each of them still protecting for their own possition. This mean we still do not have the real leaders to lead us. It is because our country do not practise meritokracy.

  449. A wife told me: ‘I rather have a dominant and slightly naughty husband (mean sometimes fool around outside) but can earn a lot of money and protect my family; rather than married a mr. nice guy who cannot make money and yet always surrender to outsider who I quarrel with”
    Chinese got one word “If a man not naughty, woman will not like him”
    To certain extent, I think sometimes this apply to a leader.
    What for we have a Mr. Nice guy, who only know how to visit the immigration department, taking LRT with rakyat and etc, BUT do not know how to make the country stable and prosperous.
    Beside angry and dislike, sometimes we feel the SHAME of being lead by him.

  450. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    At least the chinese,indian and malays in the BN coalition still got one thing in common; non are willing to speak up and stand up for the truth against Abdullah Badawi.

  451. Salaam Tun,
    What’s happening now in Malaysia has never happened before during your era. No Hindraf, No Ahmad Ismail, Nobody dares to play the race card to the level or degree that we are seeing now.
    Why? Because of the strong and decisive leadership by you (your political enemies may say because of your dictatorship style)
    But the fact remains that race relationship was far much better from 1981-2003. Those who deny this fact are indeed blind and should be sent to “Pusat latihan Orang Buta Brickfields’ to learn new skills in order to survive in this era.
    Another factor is due to indecisiveness and ‘flip-flop’ stand of AAB. At one time he said Ahmad Ismail should apologise, then he said Ahmad did not mean to be a racist, then after that he told all of us that Ahmad was too much. Even my kids are confused. Let alone the British investors that are ready to open their company branch in Malaysia.
    Please accept the fact that BN consist of at least 3 main racist parties; UMNO (Malay racist party), MCA (Chinese racist party) and MIC (Indian racist party). These parties are racists. Period.
    So to manage and control three different race-based party, BN needs a very strong type of leader like Tun Dr Mahathir.
    If the government arrested Sin Chew reporter and Teresa under ISA only to be released in a short time, why on the first place bother to arrest them. Both Ahmad and the reporter should be arrested. You have done that during Operasi Lallang. You arrested leaders from opposition, Lim Kit Siang as well as the Malay champion like Ibrahim Ali that time
    When AAB arrested them, the Chineses are angry.When he released them in such a short time as if the initial arrest were made without any strong legal basis, the Malays are angry.
    Now Teresa’s accusation about ‘dog food’ quality for ISA detainees published everywhere, even here in the UK. So what benefits that our country gained from AAB short-mindedness and recent ISA outburst? Nothing.
    One thing for sure, every time I passed-by Madame Tussaud here on my way to Regents Park Mosque to pray, I am positively sure that if Abdullah Badawi wax to be put inside Madame Tussaud, they will be spoilt for choices, in term of as to which sleeping styles to select from many different styles of AAB caught sleeping in public!

  452. Dear Tun,
    Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays.
    The above statement is UNTRUE, our economy and political problems are not because of racial issue. Chinese did not cause the Malay to suffer and vice versa. The issue is with the BN government who led the people down. People are not happy with the way BN is ruling the country.

  453. my 3rd comment.
    Tun,
    i have great respect of BN, i think it is a great concept until ppl exploited it.
    But, don’t just blame on the leadership alone. Young malaysian now adays, majority doesn’t really mind who is in power, as long as it is not BIAS.
    just look at how irritated people get when keris is uphold. a statesman fr a big country when asked to comment once said – “It is NOT THE KERIS, it is the manner and who is holding it that matters.”
    just look at how bloggers responded when the son-in-law shouted that they are monkeys.
    just look at how disgusted malaysian get when we see the lawyer brokering judges. (this is one of the korek-korek-korek that swing the votes – who are part of them? are you?)
    just look at APs being distributed in favour to create personal wealth, in the name of NEP (how many bumi really get rich through APs)
    just look at how many get away unpunished – Bung Mokhtar on bocor remarks, OneEyeClose – MP, the son-in-law and keris Hisham.
    Hopefully, we get a leader, INCLUDING YOU, will speak up on behalf every UNJUST. NOT ONLY RACE, not by getting votes through being ULTRA.
    A Poem of “The evil of silence” dedicated to you.
    In Germany they first came for the Communists,
    and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
    Then they came for the Jews,
    and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
    Then they came for the trade unionists,
    and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Catholics,
    and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
    Then they came for me —
    and by that time no one was left to speak up.

    Dear Fellow Malaysian…
    Raise and unite….
    Love your country, love your nation, love your religion and love your race…
    Let’s get together and work towards the change.
    Let’s together VOICE OUR CONCERN for our PM to step down.
    Hello Mr. PM…..Please stop all these noncense…”sleeping”, undecisive, unsure, uncontrol, unaware, and many more…
    MALAYSIAN already BORED of you…..

  455. Salam Tun
    We live in a plural nation, thus we need each other to survive. I do personally hope that in any workplace there isn;t any racism been practiced. For instance the Malay hate the Chinese or vice versa or perhaps other races hate each other.
    It is so sad to see this happening.
    For the ISA, probably it is still relevant to ensure things are back to normalcy.
    Just want the best for Malaysia.
    Thank you.

  456. I agree with point no.24. Opposition party, they only want power. They are just plain Power Crazeee…..

  457. Salam Tun & all chedet.com members,
    You became a troubleshooter for nation & country when you were a PM,but now already turned upside down.I befriend with non-malays as well and they also perceive that the power transition must be xpedited asap.But as you said in earlier article ‘Pak Lah pejamkan mata & pekakkan telinga” against all critics and comments from rakyat.Janganlah pula memekakkan telinga & memejamkan mata sehingga memaksa rakyat meniru apa yg terjadi di Thailand, tak pasal2 rakyat berdemonstrasi dan mengepung Putrajaya…nauzubillah…
    In my opinion I confident that if someone capable to replace Pak Lah,the BN coalition parties will be strengthened and absolutely “no confident motion” will be heard…
    Semoga Tun membantu menyelamatkan tanah air Malaysia yg tercinta ini …Amin

  458. Dear Tun,
    I had and still believe in BN and its’ ideals.
    I remember having a conversation with my colleagues about 15 years ago, yes you were the PM then. We talked about politics and Gina posed a suggestion saying “why must there be race based parties within the BN. Why can’t the BN be a single party that welcomes members from all races”
    My response was that even if the BN subscribed to her suggestion, the structure would still be the same. The Chairman/President will be Dr. Mahathir, who will also be the person in charge of Malay affairs, Chinese affairs will be a Lee Liong Sik, Indian affairs will be Samy Vellu so on and so forth. Meaning that it will still be a rose but given a different name.
    The PR parties also work in the same manner. You can take the present Penang Government as an example. The affairs of different communities are given to the leader of that particular community to manage and take care.
    This clearly shows that the BN formula works in Malaysia. I have to agree with you, Tun that the component parties within BN must get back to the BN basics and discuss among themselves ways to resuscitate BN. There is no point in openly throwing brickbats at each other and at the end of the day, everybody gets hurt but the root cause is still not resolved.
    To the BN leaders, please take Tun’s advise and work hard to preserve and strengthen the party.
    As for Tun & wife, Selamat Berpuasa & Selamat Menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.
    P/S: My daughter was awfully glad that you were there to give away the scrolls at the recent Universiti Teknologi Petronas 8th Convocation. Her photos really show. Thanks Tun.

  459. Salam Tun,
    Dah tak guna pertahankan dah Tun. Saya cadangkan Tun tubuhkan “UMNO Lagi Baru” untuk gantikan “UMNO Baru”.
    Saya tak kata PR akan lagi elok berbanding BN. Tapi perubahan kuasa akan menampakkan kuasa rakyat. Jika berjaya, semua kerajaan memerintah selepas ini akan lebih berkerja untuk rakyat.
    Pada keadaan sekarang rakyat dalam kerugian, minyak dah turun tersangat rendah sampai rasa macam rakyat pulak yang bagi subsidi kat kerajaan.
    Disebabkan isu minyak ini sahaja, saya doakan moga BN cepat mati. Tak cakna langsung hal rakyat.

  460. Tun,
    Sometimes people tend to be deaf and blind. Itulah masalah masyarakat kita. Tun, apa yang patut kami sebagai rakyat lakukan sekarang. Melihat Malaysia terus tergugat dan jatuh?

  461. tun,
    never in my life i saw two man obsessed to be prime minister. They are Anwar Ibrahim dan Khairy Jamaluddin. This self-centered ambitions had become cancerous to nation stability.

  462. 1. How would we know something won’t work if we don’t try? Let’s give multiracial party a try!
    2. I disagree with the statement that BN is the only model for a ‘many multi’ Malaysia. Singapore is a good example where multiracial party is striving and they had similar beginnings like BN. So why is it only BN faltered and PAP is thriving?
    3. In my opinion, BN have effectively catered to the demands of the races in Malaysia but BN also have effectively caused the races to drift apart. BN concept is like this- ‘we all can be under one roof but we can never be together’ and thats how BN wants us to view Malaysia, our country.
    Just my 3 cents worth of opinion. Lalala

  463. Tun,
    I agree with all the points beside
    7. Now the Malays are angry with the Chinese and the Chinese are angry with the Malays. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.
    I personally think it should be
    7. Now the Malays UMNO are angry with the Chinese Gerakan/MCA and the Chinese Gerakan/MCA are angry with the Malays UMNO. Party-wise UMNO is angry with Gerakan and MCA and Gerakan/MCA are angry with UMNO.
    It is UMNO views which do not represent the whole malay views. At least most of my malay friend, do not care what UMNO has said nowadays because it is showing racism symbol.
    Finally, if Koh Tsu Koon supporter is the person who tear Ahmad photos, then he and his supporter will be jailed unlike Ahmad nowadays and This is my malay friend thought.
    Anyway, take care of your health, Tun!

  464. You think throwing the leader out will solved the BN problem?
    You did develop Malaysia to an unprecedented level (at the cost of our future generation). Many people wanted you to go earlier. When you finally volunteered to step down, many people were very happy and thought the country could redeem what went wrong under your government.
    Heck! It’s even worse.Some will say the global ecomomy is the culprit. Yes, but even if the global economy wasn’t this bad, the situation in this country is not any better. The economy is only adding salt to the wound. It was already bleeding, nonetheless.
    The government under BN continues to make wrong decisions and to take ridiculous actions. It’s the thinking and mentality of the party that put great risk to the country. Unless drastic changes on the party “culture” is taking place, changing the leader is just like eating KFC when McD tastes horrible. It’s still fast food.

  465. DEAR TUN;
    U R ALWAYS THE BEST OF THE BEST TO GIVE US STRENGHT AND HOPES TO CARRY ON NO MATTER IT IS DURING GOOD OR RAINY DAYS TO COME.
    MAY GOD BLESS U & FAMILY AND ALL OUR MALAYSIAN NO MATTER U ARE MALAY, CHINESE, INDIAN OR OTHERS.
    GOD BLESS & REGARDS;

    Semogo Sihat Sentiasa
    marilah kita semua berdoa semoga orang-orang melayu yang telah diberi amanah untuk menentukan kepimpinan negara menukar kepimpinan sedia ada sekarang kepada yang BARU.
    kita semuanya bukan benci kepada paklah tetapi jelas terbukti dia tidak boleh lagi untuk memimpin. ini bukan meminpin sebuah keluarga tetapi memimipin sebuah negara yang jauh lebih berat dan bukanya semua orang mampu untuk memikulnya. hanya yang terpilih dan betul-betul ikhlas sahaja layak untuk menjalankan amanah ini. yang meletakkan kepentingan bangsa, agama dan negara jauh dari kepentingan peribadi dan saudara terdekat kita.
    jadi kepada semua YB, MT, Ketua Bahagian, Perwakilan dan semunya beranilah kerana benar. fikirlah jauh ke depan untuk menjalankan amanah Allah yang utama adalah membela bangsa di tanah airnya sendiri BNGSA MELAYU…
    jadikan lah TUN sebagai sumber rujukan untukmembetulkan kesilapan yang lalu..
    jangan malau untuk bertanya kerana pengalamannya selama 22 tahun belum tentu akan ada orang mampu menandinginya..
    salam ramadhan
    rintihan dari orang melayu yang susah laluan hidupnya…

  467. Tun,
    Whether it is BN Govt, or Opposition Govt, or any whoever, whoever who runs the govt, it will still be all the govt servants etc. manning the Kementerian and Jabatan’s offices. The mechanism and instrument will still be the same to service the nation. It is useless to convince the people that only BN can do the job. What we need is a strong leadership at the very top to unite the people’s belief in working towards a common goal. I am so sorry Tun, I don’t see anybody with that calibre in BN now.

  468. Tun, u r right. Sometimes I think that the country might be corrupted during Tun’s time but at least the country is progressing very well. But now…..
    Everyone is difficult….except maybe the gov’t servant…..
    Pakatan Rakyat might be able to form the government but i doubt PAS and DAP can really see eye to eye.
    How to form a Good Government????

  469. Viva Tun Berdua,
    Selamat berpuasa, semoga Tun berdua mendapat rahmah Allah sentiasa. Selamat menyambut Eid-mubarak, maafkan saya jika tersilap kata dan terkasar bahasa kepada Tun.
    Memang tepat sekali saranan Tun supays Puak-puak didalam BN berhenti bertelagah dan balik ke meja perundingan… tapi GERAKAN dipersilakan keluar seperti yang dihajati. BN ialah sebuah Parti Besar Berbagai Kaum yang berdaftar sedangkan PR hanyalah sebuah komuniti longgar yang bersekedudukan. Jika kita sayangkan Malaysia, usahakan supaya sebuah parti berbilang kaum tetap terus berkuasa. Ambillah iktibar sejarah didunia nyata ini, stelah Shah Iran dijatuhkan, Iran tidak menjadi lebih hebat, setelah Suharto dijatuhkan, Indonesia menjadi semakin papa, setelah Marcos dijatuhkan, Filifina masi lagi merempat dinegara sendiri… fikir dan pilihlah, terus maju atau terjerumus kelembah kemiskinan. Tun sudah beri nasihat dan amaran, jika kita masih kabur nanti tanggunglah sendiri.
    Dirgahayu Tun dan Tun. Maaf zahir dan bathin.

  470. Salam Tun,
    Masakini, Pakatan Rakyat sudah menjadi alternatif yang berkesan untuk menggantikan Barisan Nasional. Jelas kelihatan pengundi muda telah pun bersiap sedia untuk menerima Kerajaan Persekutuan yang baru. Pihak Barisan Nasional perlu akur, insaf dan muhasabah diri. Hanya ada satu cara jika BN hendak mengekalkan kuasa memerintah negara iaitu dengan membuat reformasi dalaman dari segi strategi dan lebih bersikap mengambil berat akan masalah yang dihadapan rakyat marhaen saban hari. BN perlu berubah dan mencipta suatu evolusi baru jika ingin menarik perhatian anak muda sekarang. Moga negara Malaysia tercinta terus berada dalam keadaan aman, damai, harmoni, maju dan makmur serta dilindungi Allah S.W.T.

  471. In reality, Malaysia has many talents.
    In your quest to develop the Malays for betterments of Malaysia, and you had made several attempts to divert plenty of resources to assist the Malays, but in reality you were well informed too that Ali Baba businesses were every where too!
    Undeniable about the talents were to be well exhibited, but your biggest regret would be the inability to focus on the mind changing on those poorer Malays over economics, and of course those greedy people who had capitalized your kindness, they simply abused and cheated on you.
    Such shaem was on the Plaza Rakyat @ Puduraya!!
    A bus terminal which caters for poorer Malaysians in the centre of KL was just abandoned for so many years!!
    I blame you on this failure as it was your over excitement in KLIA, Ports, and also Double Track projects, you had ignored and failed to develop this POOREST man’s transpor!
    But as you are too busy to focus on many other issues, this is an issue you could not handle well, and to blame all on you is very unfair too.
    Thank you for having KLCC, and we are enjoying NS Highways, but NOT LDP/SPRINT/KESAS……
    Not IWK, NOT TAG monopolized by some private company!

  474. Assalamualaikum and a very good afternoon to all bloggers
    tun, as always.. u know economy very well “doctor”..
    why politicians dont want to listen to u? It’s because u r no longer in the government? Well they have to think again.. at least more than me.. pointing each other wont solve the problem.. what i learnt from my parents, if u have a problem..face it and be strong.
    to fellow politicians who claimed they are a leader.. please respect our former leader like Tun.
    btw Tun, i like these para:
    22. As the Malays say “Because of one drop of indigo, a whole pot of milk is spoilt.”
    23. We must not throw out the baby with the bath water.
    Selamat sejahtera Tun dan semua

  475. Salam TUN,
    Saya setuju “point” 15 dan 20 TUN. Negara yang majmuk seperti Malaysia, memerlukan pemimpin yang kuat. Malaysia sudah memasuki tahap “dewasa” setelah 51 tahun merdeka, dan kini permintaan Rakyat berbilang kaum terhadap kerajaan telah bertambah, bukan sahaja dari segi ekonomi, ia termasuk keadilan, keamanan, pelajaran, kecekapan, hapuskan rasuah dan sebagainya. Jadi, BN harus berubah mengikut kehendak Rakyat, mesti fokus untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang melanda negara kita sekarang, dan bukan bergaduh sesama anggota parti sendiri sekiranya ingin menang PRU akan datang…
    Memang benar BN masih merupakan barisan pentadbiran yang boleh diharapkan oleh Rakyat, tetapi mereka mesti berusaha bersungguh-sungguh demi perpaduan Rakyat, janganlah bersikap rasis lagi, dengarlah suara dan permintaan Rakyat…

  476. Salam Tun. Saya amat sanjung tinggi peranan Tun dalam memajukan negara Malaysia. Walaupun saya di kategorikan sebagai kaum tumpang oleh Datuk Ahmad Ismail namun saya memang amat menyayangi negara Malaysia. Sejak dari bangku sekolah lagi kami kaum tumpang juga di beri pendidikan yang sempurna. Kejayaan Tun dapat di kecapi pada masa itu dengan terbinanya Lebuh Raya Timur Barat, Jambatan Pulau Pinang, perbezaan masa di antara Sabah dan Sarawak dan Semenanjung. Perhubungan diplomatik yang baik semasa zaman pemerintahan Tun di antara Malaysia dan China membolehkan kaum tumpang ini balik untuk meziarahai sanak saudara dan kawan dengan lebih selesa dan senang tanpa peraturan-peratuan yang ketat pada masa dulu. Pendek kata Tun telah banyak menyumbang kepada kemajuan negara. Harap Tun dapat menyediakan idea-idea yang baik untuk kemajuan bangsa Malaysia.
    Saya bukan ahli politik atau pun pro atau kontra terhadap kerajaan. Apa yang saya idamkan menjadikan negara Tumpang saya ini satu negara yang aman, makmur dan maju.
    Syabas Tun dan Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri untuk Tun sekeluarga.

  477. BN bukan lagi satu pilihan yg ideal seperti dahulu. Sila rujuk kepada perkara yg seperti berikut:
    (1) Kelemahan BN hari ini bukan semata-mata disebabkan oleh kelemahan abdullah. Namun kelemahan abdullah telah membongkarkan situasi yg telah lama berlaku di dalam struktur pakatan BN, dimana UMNO bermahajarela dan tidak menghormati rakan kompponen yg lain.
    (2) Pada pandangan orang malaysia hari ini, UMNO bukanlah seperti parti yg memperjuangkan konsep yg dipersetujui pada zaman dahulu. Pemimpin sekarang sudah dikenali umum gilakan kuasa dan merebut-rebut dengan projek kerajaan. Tun amat jelas keadaan ini sehingga meninis air mata dahulu sehingga terpaksa memaparkan senarai orang yg mendapat projek kerajaan pada satu masa ketika
    (3) Apa yg perlu dihadapi oleh abdullah hari ini adalah sebuah organisasi yg penuh dengan kepentingan diri-sendiri. Dan inilah apa yg diwarisi dari zaman Tun. Kerana kelemahan kepimpinannya, masalah ini akhirnya terbongkar pada hari ini.
    (4) Oleh yg demikian, jelasnya sekali masalah ini tidak boleh disalahkan kepada abdullah seorang sahaja. Ini adalah masalah aprti UMNO sendiri.
    Sebagai seorang bukan melayu seperti saya, kami lebih cenderong dibawah kepimpinan orang melayu dari parti PAS dan bukannya UMNO lagi. Ini adalah kelakuan pemimpin UMNO yg bermaharajalela dan menjadikan negara ini huru-hara. Sekurang-kurangnya, PAS mempunyai dasar yg lebih adil dan saksama mengikuti ajaran Al-Quran.

  478. Hidup TUN!!!.. Selamatkanlah Malaysia….
    Malaysia akan selamat dengan adanya pemimpin yang tegas & berani.. Bukan lemah & lembik….
    PAK LAH & KRONI METI TURUN.. Kalau tidak, MALAYSIA akan sia-sia…

  479. pray for peace and order, and please be well educated as not to break the nation for the selfish gains!!
    I wish you as a senior Malaysian, and please let the relevant leaders to resolve the issues which are just too unfair for you to be burdened after your 22 years of hard work.
    Let yourself be well recorded as father of malaysian Modernization.
    Though you had not been able to hold the 1 Ringgit for 1 Singapore, you did not sell us to be the slaves of USA + IMF.
    Please just watch from side lines, and as you are NO longer a UMNO member, please why do you not trying to comment about those daring comments made by recent MCA, Gerakan + MIC who had views which are different from the applications of ISA and the reviews of this ISA is highly controversial for MCA present President Ong Ka Ting.
    Looking forward to meet you when you are free, just call me 012-3292101/016-3312101/016-2059923.
    Really hope you could give me and my wife a short or brief meeting to catch up with your past glories, and forget about intensive involvements in all this daily affairs, pray for you and your family in this holy fasting month fro most of the Muslim friends.
    Best regards,
    peter Leow

  480. Assalamualaikum Tun,
    Apa yang ditulis oleh Tun sememangnya amat benar. Harap-harap terbukalah minda pemimpin Parti komponen dan Umno sendiri tentang perkara ini.Bimbang betui la nie , takut terjadi lagi rusuhan kaum. Bilalah Pak Lah nak sedar..takkan sampai ada tumpah darah baru nak tukar PM. Tun, keadaan ekonomi sekarang nie macam hampir sama ( kalau tak silap saya )macam tahun 1997..kenapa Dato’Seri Najib tak nak tambat ringgit? Semalam saja tengok berita ada pakar ekonomi, menyokong cara-cara Tun mengawal nilai ringgit..rasanya itulah yang sewajarnya kerajaan lakukan sekarang.
    Semoga Allah Swt panjangkan umur Tun dan isteri. Amin.

  481. The Holy Quran mentioned in Chapter 4 (An Nisa’), Verse 9…
    “Dan hendaklah takut kepada Allah orang-orang yang seandainya meninggalkan di belakang mereka anak-anak yang lemah, yang mereka khuatir terhadap kesejahteraan mereka. Oleh sebab itu hendaklah mereka bertakwa kepada Allah dan hendaklah mereka mengucapkan perkataan yang benar!”….
    This is what Tun is doing… Keep on telling it as it is, Tun… That’s the way!

  482. salam Tun,
    Ahmad Ismail tu memang kiasu Pak Lah…dia yang patut masuk ISA..Pak Lah sje gunakan kiasu nie untuk dapatkan kembali pengaruh org melayu..tapi x berjaya sebab org cina bkn lagi pak turut kerajaan.org cina mmg x puas hati kt Pak Lah sejak dri dlu lagi..sebab utama ialah Pak Lah tak tau nk puaskn hati tokey2 cina..tak tau nk jaga ekonomi..yang monopoli projek hanya anak menantu..isu ahmad ismail mmg memakan diri Pak Lah kali nie…drpda isu nie ah pelengkap penolakan kaum bukan melayu kepada Pak Lah..hanya Tun sje yg tau perangai org cina..dan cra untuk ‘menjaga’ mereka di bumi Malaysia nie..

  483. Tun,
    I found out that in most of your blog, you stressed that BN is still the best party to rule the country. If AAB is not the best selection for the Prime Minister to handle the racial problem in Malaysia, I do believe that Najib is not a good choice either (when Najib is involved with the Mongolian case). AAB is smart enough to kick recent problems in the country to Najib. So, now everyone is looking at Najib. So, the burden is now on Najib. If Najib is not effective to bring up solutions to make the economy in Malaysia better, this will be a harm for BN to still survive in holding the power to rule the country.
    With Tun 22 years experience as a PM, I do believe that Najib is not a wise choice in Tun’s mind. Tun stressing that Tun had regret in choosing AAB as the prime minister after you. I hate to say that Tun chosing AAB for your deputy is simply just to reduce the threat that Najib will cause to Tun at that time.
    No matter how Tun think in the past, that is no longer important. I believe that it is the time for Tun to go back to BN or Umno to restructure BN and compensate the wrong choice of Tun had made. What Malaysia and UMNO need? They just need a wise leader to lead the country which Malaysians can really share the fruits from economic development. Tun, pls come back to BN if you still think that BN is the best political party. Show to all Malaysians that you are regret for choosing AAB and you are prepared to responsible of every wrong decision AAB had made ever since you select him. Dont let Anwar to get advantages of the mess now is BN. Just like what Tun think, I also believe that it is quite impossible for 31 MPs to crossover to PR. Every political members are just in the wait and see thinking. No one will dare to take any action!
    Tun, 7 millions of people already support you in your blog! please come back to political stage again for all the Malaysians!

  484. Dear Tun,
    Why people hate UMNO. Look at the following argument.
    Tell me Tun, who is right and who is wrong. To me UMNO is dead wrong.
    How to support UMNO with such draconian law;
    Menurut Mufti Perlis Akta ISA di katakan tidak mengikut lunas lunas ajaran Islam.
    RPK dituduh mengina Islam di bawah Akta ISA yang di katakan tidak mengikut lunas lunas ajaran Islam.
    Pelik bukan?.
    Pelik kerana Kerajaan UMNO yang di katakan mempertahankan Islam mengunakan undang undang yang tidak Islam untuk mengurung Raja Petra kerana menghina Islam.

  485. Salam tun,
    Semoga ape yang berlaku membuka mata semua orang umno terutama YB.
    mungkin mereka da lupa yang mengundi dan mencalonkon kan mereka adalah rakyat biasa ini.
    jangan kerana selesa menjadi YB hingga lupa dir.
    marilah kita sama2 berdoa untuk berani menukar kepimpinan yang ada demi kebaikan kita orang melayu semua.
    percayalah bukan kita benci pak lah tetpi kita perlu pikir jauh ke depan. untuk kebaikan bangsa agama dan negara.
    biarlah ketua selepas ini sedar yang mereka menjadi PM adalah untuk membela nasib orang melayu dan semua kaum.

  486. Dear Tun,
    But how can non-malay parties be calling for the resignation of UMNO president. Especially since their party are also the main reason for the loss since the non-malays were also the ones that backed away from voting for BN. And yet, no one calls for the resignation of their leaders.
    I also believe that when you had voiced out your dissatisfaction of the projects that you initiated, it has caused people to think your call for Abdullah’s resignation was personal more than competency. Skeptics are also saying that you may have stakes in those projects that Abdullah canceled. This perception needs to be eliminated.
    2 cents

  487. I may agree that BN is still relevant, because I have not seen anyone who has the capability to handle the racist problems, let alone to manage current economy situations.
    Who will take charge to stop (or at least temporarily hold) the capital flights and by not just twisting figures, but in other word really working to show that Malaysia has not swallowed-up big impact from situations abroad (though not 100%). But at least we in Malaysia, has enough food, no need to drink expensive treatment water, green and quite nature to surrender and on top of that, we have knowledgeable workers. Though our economy does not have large consumption in term of people (~27 mil) – but try to make investors confident.
    Hums… Would much appreciate if u can discuss further on pegging Ringgit.
    Thanks!

  488. the ship is shrinking….and Pak lah is to be blamed for that. UMNO’s internal problem is more to structural. So Tun’s advice is badly needed to rectify the matter.

  489. Tun,
    Salam Ramadhan kepada Tun & Tun Siti Hasmah.
    Memang benar, sejak kebelakangan ini parti komponen BN ‘attack’ antara satu sama lain sehingga SAPP pun keluar dari BN.
    Hendak ‘digress’ sedikit, apakah pandangan Tun mengenai kenyataan Dato Seri Najib yang mengatakan Malaysia tidak akan ‘re-peg’ Ringgit kepada Dolar?

  490. TUN,
    Keadaan semakin hari semakin bergerak arak berlainan.
    Pak Lah tak menujukkan kualiti kepimpinan bukan sahaja untuk UMNO tetapi semua parti.
    Maka, apalah gunanya dia ada disana.
    Selamat Hari Raya… juga sesuram MERDEKA tahun ini…

  491. I agree with you 100% percent. If this being going on for so long, I don’t know what will be the future for BN. Common Pak2 Menteri, wake up!! Kalau orang di dalam kerajaan sendiri tak berubah, nobody can….
    I miss your leadership Tun!

  492. Y.A.Bhg. Tun,
    Yes, BN is still relevant and I wonder whether D.S. Samy Vellu will ever get elected for any post in the new non-racial party he suggested as in democracy, majority wins!
    Pak Teh

  493. Dear Tun,
    I am not a fan or die hard supporter of BN but wrote based on my perception of what is good value.
    The BN Component parties in particularly UMNO , MCA and MIC must work together and not think of leaving just because of poor election results after 50 years of working together.
    True friends must work things out together in the face of hardship or else they would be called fair weather friends.
    Times have changed and they need to study what the rakyat wants especially the younger generation of voters and make the changes that is good for our rakyat and country.
