CAN THE KING DISMISS THE PRIME MINISTER

Point by point rebuttal.

1) There will be justice in the end (if you believe in God). In the real world, justice takes time, it will come.

2) Elections is not mandatory but the right thing, fair, uncontroversial way.

3) He is not fighting Tuanku but representing the wishes of the rakyat. It is a democratic right of dissent within the law.

4) As usual only Umno lawyers and judges make judgements without written grounds!!

S. ...Tan

1. There is no justice in the world
2. In Perak, it is kerajaan Tuanku. You don't need to go to elections to form a a government
3. Wheh the 3 opted out PR, BN alone is a majority 28 to 27 to PR since Speaker cannot vote. Therefore there is a mala fide from the part of Speaker (what his name? I can't remember) and Nizar. If he is a real Malay, He should have made things much easier for the Malay Tuanku to change his government.
4 I think S.....Tan is not a lawyer. If he is , he is one stupid laywer or he cheated during his exams.

TQ

Hey..Hey Mr..I am not the blog patrolman..:) I am freelancing here and not a Mr Hatchet Man..

Anyway here is a patriotic song I dedicated to you from the Real Patrolman...Enjoy..

Semboyan Angkatan Laut Kita
Di Samudera Raya
Menjaga Pantai Ibu Pertiwi Dari Angkara Murka
Dari Barat Sampai Ke Timur Itulah Pantai Malaysia
Tiap Saat Berjaga Di Tengah Samudera Raya
Periwa Dan Satria
Angkatan Laut Di Raja..

Ode to you the Malaysian Armed Forces!!!!!!!

Thank you Tun..

.............LETS TWIST AGAIN

You twist my statement. There is no mention whether I agree or oppose '83/'93 amendment. I only pointed to the hypocrisy of Umno apologists who demand action against opponents of the royal decision.

If Umno can 'amend royal power' in '83/'93 (powers that are clearly written in the constitution), why condemn people who 'dispute royal prerogative' in Perak (where the power is not clearly stated) Which party is the bigger 'penderhaka'. Ini maksud kelakuan makan diri!

............KING OF SPIN

Spin can also mean going one round,and same answer! Power grab means without consent or blessing and disputable. Any dubious, debatable, arbitrary method used is justifiably termed power grab.

Situation after PRU 12, there was no dispute or doubt who rules, who was vanquished. Losing in an election is different from losing to a royal order. Losing on points is different from losing on line calls from umpires. Peaceful street demonstrations are tolerable, violent enforcement action on peaceful people is unacceptable!

Soal tanah 99 thn saya dah jawap. Baca 'The Generation Gap April 21' dan 'Lompat Lagi Feb 10'. The boast about your armoury, I am on a different path from you. So I may not oblige you, as much as you will focus on me (which is your job as blog patrolman)

Salam Tun,

Kelakar betul bila ramai benar yg baca tulisan Tun kali ni yg tak faham hujah Tun. Lepas tu, tiba-tiba muncul lah Anwar lah, PAS lah, DAP lah, PKR lah... Apa lah...

Buat malu je... orang lain komen, mereka pun nak bagi komen gak... Lepas tu, duk merepek meraban. Apa lah...

Tapi ini bukan kali pertama para pembaca blog ni duk merepek meraban, memang dah selalu dah sangat... Tun tulis lain, mereka merepek benda lain... Lebih sudu dari kuah.

Malu baca komen kalian.

Rgds,

BLACK OR WHITE?

//The world is not black or white. A generalised statement is not dangerous like an extremist and heavily biased one. The extremist talks as if a case is clear as day and closed, airtight!

Agreed..But that is matter of opinion..When you respond to Hanan your stand will be clearer...)

................ROYAL COURT AND JUSTICE COURT

Decision made in royal court different from justice court. One is after hearing deliberations, arguments and witnesses from both sides. Tuanku may be ex Lord President but he was not having a court session on that day. How to when only one side was in court! I am arguing for democratic (people) supremacy.

I am arguing on point of 'proven legacy' of dignitaries of him and Tun..They have legacy to showcase their point.A point is point but what you might not realized is the strenght of the point,the magnitude of the point, the size of the point and the velocity of the point.Hence if you motion a point and zaq25 motion a point, your point will be stronger and will override zaq25 points..

I noticed you have not make an appearance in Lim Kit Siang, Anwar Ibrahim and the likes...Why?..I notice a point and illustrated them..

It's all in the winning point..

Terima kasih Tun..

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat. Kiriman ini menyahut komen seorang penyokong di sini. Kena jawab, tidak dia fikir kita tak layan...

May be the everyday ordinary people on the street should give their comments. For example each time before the elections, what do they see ? Who do they talk about ? When do they listen to elections’ campaigns ? Why is there an election ? How do they go about the election process ? Where do they vote ? So much money is wasted on the election process and this is one thing which every ordinary Malaysian would do and would remember. Turn around and ask him anything about the royal figures. May be they will say. Each time they come out, they come out in their fine royal clothings and they are very exclusive people and Malaysians respect them for what they are borned to be. The ordinary Malaysians would go to all lengths to welcome the royal figures. Some will start gossiping about stories they heard about their personal lives. Then may be the more learned ones will say they can pardon prisoners and anything to do with punishment by the law. Then the comments given here. Nobody really knows anything about the royal figures including myself. The ones who have to deal with them will have to refer to some book to know their duties. If Hang Tuah somehow manages to leap from his dimension to this time ( if people believe there is no such a thing as eternity ), he does not have to answer to the King anymore.

Assalamualaikum Tun,

Pastinya persoalan oleh 'peguam' tersebut mempunyai perbagai makna yang tersirat, yang tersurat hanya sekadar 'test' jawapan dari Tun. Saya berpendidikan di dalam bidang mekanikal, malah kadangkala cuba untuk merongkah perkara yang masih tidak pasti di luar bidang berkenaan.

Begitu juga Nik Aziz yang berpengetahuan dalam bidang agama (Ulama Islam) tetapi seringkali merongkah perkara di luar bidang agama sehinggakan pengikut fanatik beliau menganggap segala perbuatan maupun perkataan beliau adalah betul dan 'maksum'. Beliau hanyalah Ulama Agama bukannya Ulama dibidang yang lain. Saya pasti pengikut beliau tidak akan mahu untuk faham.

Begitu juga 'peguam' berkenaan, beliau amat faham (saya amat pasti jika beliau adalah seorang peguam)tentang peraturan/perlembagaan negara, tetapi saya amat yakin beliau mempunyai agenda tersendiri untuk merubah atau cubaan untuk merubah keadaan (andai ada ruang walaupun kecil). apakah maksud sebenar beliau???

Wassalam.

YABhg Tun,

I believe we should cross that bridge when we come to it...
at the present moment talking about these matter only give rise to a lot of speculations....which we don't really need....

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat sentiasa. Minta izin menjawab seorang pengulas......

Terima kasih sdr 'ibubie' on July 2, 2009 8:29 PM mengulas kiriman saya.

..................SIAPA TUDUH, GERTAK SULTAN?

Tulisan saya tidak menuduh Sultan timbulkan kekecohan di Perak. Orang politik yg jadi hantu mengheret Tuanku dlm masaalah politik mrk. Pasal gertak, rakyat yg hanya boleh mengadap Sultan dari tepi jalan mampu ‘gertak’ Sultan atau mantan DPM dan krjn persekutuan yg bersemuka dgn Tuanku? Kenapa DPM yg mengadap?

Rakyat ditepi jln itu merintih krn tiada harapan mengadap.

................. TAK AMAN?

Perak memang aman, hanya kekerasan berlaku bila pihak berkuasa bertindak tunjuk kuasa pada hak bersuara rakyat. Bersuara terkandung dlm ‘kesopanan dan kesusilaan’, tapi kekerasan langsung tidak! Mengheret orang keluar rukun kesopanan dan kesusilaan?

Saya tidak tulis Umno rasuah 3 katak itu (tapi pendapat umum begitu). Saya kata dua katak itu selekeh tuduhan rasuah.

..................IKUT JEJAK

Hujah orang boleh kita pun boleh tak boleh diterima walaupun kita boleh, Perak boleh, M’sia boleh! ‘Two wrongs don’t make a right”

Salam Tun,
Betul kata Tun, peruntukan undang-undang yang mengkehendaki YDPA bertindak atas nasihat PM. Jika PM yang hendak di pecat, YDPA perlu consult dengan mereka yang berkenaan supaya keluhuran undang-undang berjalan mengikut saluran yang betul....
Undang-undang yang dibuat semestinya telah dikaji dan diteliti sehalus-halusnya supaya tiada pihak yang menyalahgunakan undang-undang yang ada.....

Bokbong

[[SAMAR INDAH]]

[[Kalau tak jelas pulangkan kuasa pada rakyat, bukan menerap kuasa untuk sendiri. Perlembagaan kalau nak beri kuasa pada sesiapa akan terus cakap begitu dgn ayat jelas. Penggubal perlembagaan bukan bodoh.]]

1.Generalized Statement!

[[Pangkalnya, dalam demokrasi kuasa ditangan rakyat. Masaalahnya siapa yg diberi amanah jalankan tanggung jawab ini. PM, Parlimen, Kehakiman, Raja? Jawapannya dalam perlembagaan, dan watak ini semua adalah pemegang amanah bukan pemegang kuasa mutlak.]]

2.Generalized Statement!!

[[Kuasa ditangan rakyat! Perebutan antara cabang kuasa ini mesti ikut perlembagaan yg perlu di junjung oleh empat sekawan ini]]

3.The point in question?? In contention??

[[MB dapat mandat dari DUN, harus dipecat oleh DUN. Kalau degil ada peraturan DUN menyingkir, menghukumnya. Bukan budi bicara Sultan memilih sesiapa. Sultan hanya boleh tolak pilihan DUN, tidak boleh ambil kuasa DUN! Mana cermin rakyat, DUN atau seorang Sultan?]]

4.Sheesh..Tan..Saya tahu anda Lord President untuk Malaysia beberapa tahun lamanya..Anda seorang peguam yang hebat oleh itu Majlis Peguam pun hormat pada anda..Pointnya ialah 'legasi yang terbukti'...Proven legacy..Persoalannya tidak kah Sultan Perak Raja Azlan sedar perkara ini dan cuba untuk mengajar anda pula?...Emmm.

Hey..Hey..nanti dulu...Sultan Azlan yang pernah jadi Lord President ke ANDA??

[[..............SI TANGGANG
Ada beberapa orang Umno yg langsung tak tahu malu, lupa perbuatan dulu. Skrg pura pura berjinak dgn Raja krn sendiri sudah lemah. Dulu waktu mrk kuat, bukan main lantang beri amaran pada Raja jgn campuri hal politik negara serta bertegang dgn pihak istana meluluskan pindaan thn '83, '93 menyekat kuasa Raja.]]

Now you are a Twister!!..Point of contention apa?? Manusia mana ada kuasa mutlak?? Manusia yang bersalah mesti di hukum..Jika ada kes boleh di dakwa..Pindaan Tahun '83 dan '93 tentang apa???

[[PS: 'Wajaperak', kalau 9 bulan PR berpoya poya (don't deliver) dan bukan mengandung anak, kenapa BN tergesa gesa rampas kuasa. Let them bathe in their own mud or shoot themselves! Also my feet nothing, pls check yours??]]

Now you are a spinner too!!..Menurut maklumat dalaman 'insider' yang tiada pada anda..BN tidak pernah rampas kuasa..Please check the meaning of this word..

Checking the slide..
Pacifying the mounting anger of the Perak resident
'Conceeding the possession of the contented land issue'..

Rakyat Perak might not that angry with 9 years lease...Angry with 19 years lease..Angrier with 99 year's lease and most angry about your intention of giving away the lease for 999 year's..!!

S..Tan..You are an educated man of tertiary education..What you have done in Tun blog's is adressing and adressing..To this date you have not come up with anything of substantial point..Let me give an example..

When assuming office PR ( Per Rectum..Opss I did it again..I played with your heart and I'm not so innocent ) your Pakatan Rakyat did not acknowledege..They thought Perak Rakyat is in their hand now and Perak is all and sundry for their fancy and whim..

1) Point of Contention : When BN ( Batallion ) lost..They move out quietly from Perak MB house and all related Government building..Graceful loser..

2) When PR lost in number of DUN member's..They refused to move out gentlemanly..Sore Loser..

What was that? The manner they lose their DUN member's??..So..This is an excuse to start up ruckus and street demonstration??

I bet you are one of the LKY stooge..Don't you remember his Singlish advice about..."Slowly slowly catchee..?"

Last but not least..I got so many weapons in my armoury..Shooting in the legs is best done by the Ice Bullet..another cold trajectory from me..

Terima kasih Tun..

Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun.
By PAS Youth Wing inviting its counterpart in UMNO to attend this talk would means that Khairy may be responding to it. Everyone knows that Khairy has been working on this platform for a long time and everybody of his not so clean “corruption” back ground. PAS is well aware of this point and PAS is now using the “Khairy Virus” to break things up from the inside for UMNO. Beware UMNO, they (PAS) is back with a vengeance, they are out to get UMNO this time by hook or by crook, they are set on that and Khairy would be their “Lembu tunggangan”. See Tun, I have mentioned before, to destroy UMNO is really easy – just make sure Khairy wins the Ketua Pemuda post. And he did. I would not elaborate much on this, its best to just observe. I propose Mukhriz and Razali to attend this talk (if it materialize). Khairy should just give it a rest in lieu of a quick exit. Khairy was accused and CONVICTED of money politic in the recent UMNO run up. He is not fit for the win and for the role. As such he has no credibility to represent anything in UMNO. This is an open weakness that the opposition is utilizing on now with possibilities of lethal side effect if prolonged. Exposures must be minimized. Before more damage gets done, I say Najib must arrest this issue immediately. A new contest for Ketua Pemuda UMNO is very much in need now. In fact, it is desperately needed.
__________________________________________________________________

KUALA LUMPUR: Pas president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang yesterday backed the move by the party’s Youth wing to invite its counterpart in Umno to engage in an academic discourse or dialogue on current issues.
He said it was a good suggestion and not at all in conflict with the party’s stand.

He also said Pas allowed such discussions as it could help solve

problems affecting the two political parties.

“It is something that is good and does not go against the party’s stand,”
he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.

Hadi, who is Marang MP, was asked about the invitation by Pas Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan to Umno Youth to take part in a dialogue to resolve differences between them.

Umno Youth welcomed the move and said it was a new development that would give an opportunity to both parties to do something good in the interests

of the people and country.

Hadi said Pas would continue strengthening unity and cooperation within Pakatan Rakyat, but at the same time allowed discussions to be held

with other parties, including Umno or other component parties in Barisan Nasional.

Opposition leader and Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto head Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he had left it to the Pas leadership to decide if the suggestion was a good idea.

“I have a different interpretation of it. It’s up to them to decide

if the topic is suitable for such a discussion.”

Kulim Bandar Baru MP Zulkifli Nordin said the academic discourse was a good move and could more or less resolve differences among Muslims.

On DAP Youth’s objection, he said it was expected of DAP because

of its secular thinking.

“They (DAP) cannot see Muslims or Malays sitting at the same table and having such a discussion because it does not benefit them at all.”

Pas vice-president Salahuddin Ayub said Pakatan Rakyat was always willing and open to discuss any issue, including economic rehabilitation, education and social problems.

MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong felt that the invitation was not an “academic discourse or dialogue”, but an ordinary discussion.

He said at present the matter did not involve MCA and the party stood its ground that whatever discussion must be able to help stabilise the political situation and lessen the effects of the economic crisis.

“For now, MCA is not involved in any kind of talks. But if there are any, it must be for the good of the people and the country. It doesn’t matter if the discussion is held with the opposition, as long as they are

sincere. That is MCA’s stand.”

Salam Bendahara Tun Mahahir yg Terhormat.

Ramai sangat keturunan Jebat kt Malaysia ni. Macam la Raja kita tu begitu teruk perilakunya. Pada pendapat saya, Jentera pemerintahan adalah kepunyaan Raja. Dialah pembela utama bagi bangsa dan tanah air kita. Kita di nusantara ini begitu lah fitrahnya sejak dulu lagi. Satu sistem pemerintahan yang BERDAULAT. Kalau seorang Raja itu boleh di tolak sana sini, tak perlulah seorang Raja. Apply saja pemerintahan cara Zionist Amerika.

Kalau pun seseorang rakyat itu takut yg Rajanya akan menjadi kejam dan zalim, di Malaya ni ade 13 org Raja yg memerintah bergilir2 setiap 5 tahun. Dan sistem itu dipantau oleh Majlis Raja-Raja. Dan saya percaya Raja-Raja kita sekarang tahu dudukan mereka dan sgt menyayangi rakyatnya. We are actually blessed by perfect ruling system. Kalau teruk pun perangai Raja-Raja kita, bukankah lebih mudah utk mengubah sikap 13 org manusia terpilih itu dari cuba menyatukan pemikiran 25 juta orang? Kalau seorang Raja itu tau maksud menjadi seseorang Raja, Mendukung AGAMAnya menyayangi rakyatnya, Insyallah negara kita akan aman makmur. Ada sesiapa nk mengatakan Raja kita tidak begitu?
dan TUANKU berhak meletakkan sesiapa bagi memantapkan jentera pemerintahan beliau.

Dengn itu jentera pemerintahan Raja akan fokus kepada penambahbaikan rakyat. Bukan bertekak sana sini, kafir mengkafir, rasuah, perabih duit ber'demokrasi', dsb.
Sedangkan demokrasi dari jenis apepun tujuannya hanya utk memecah belahkan sesebuah negara.

berbaliklah kepada rukun negara. Hiduplah dgn penuh syukur.Dalam agama kita sendiri pun pemimpin mempunyai mertabat yg tinggi.

Kalau lah orang2 Melayu ade kekuatan Tuah dan mengembalikan kedaulatan Raja-Raja Melayu, kita akan kembali gemilang.

Maaf jika tersimpang. Saya sebenarnya sudah penat dan jelak dengan senario politik negara ini. 'Bila di kurnia Allah kebijaksanaan, gunalah dengan sebaiknya'. Wallahua'lam.

Assalamualaikum.

Saya sering tertanya-tanya mengapa kita selalu menjadi hipokrit. Kita mendesak DYMM Sultan Perak membubarkan Dewan sedangkan kita tahu bahawa ianya adalah hak istimewa Baginda sebagai Sultan. Adakah kita suka orang lain mengikut telunjuk kita sedangkan kita sendiri amat sukar untuk tunduk walaupun kepada undang-undang dan peraturan yang ada dan digunapakai keatas semua orang. Adakah ini demokrasi?

Sebagai orang ISLAM kita diajar tentang rukun iman dan islam sebagai asas untuk menjadi seorang muslim. Pada tahap ini kita memiliki iman yang bersandarkan ilmu tetapi belum sah iman kita. Kita biasanya tidak ambil peduli tentang perkara ini kerana merasakan dengan syahadah sekali seumur hidup sudah memadai. Lebih malang lagi jika kita hanya menjadi ISLAM kerana ibu bapa kita ISLAM sedangkan AGAMA ISLAM tidak dipusakai dari ibubapa. Maka kita hidup sebagai ISLAM yang pura-pura hanya atas nama tanpa jasad dan roh AGAMA. Ada segelintir yang sedar dan ingin kembali kepada ISLAM tetapi hanyalah bertaklid kepada seseorang tanpa ilmu. Maka imannya adalah iman taklid dan golongan ini mudah untuk dipesongkan oleh puak-puak yang menjual ISLAM untuk keuntungan dunia. Maka larilah mereka dari fahaman ahli sunnah wal jamaah, dan sesatlah mereka dalam akidah dan tauhid.

Demi ALLAH yang telah meredai kita dengan AGAMA ISLAM ini, maka marilah kita bersama-sama kembali kepada ajaran ISLAM yang sebenarnya, yang sumbernya sahih daripada RASULULLAH S.A.W disampaikan oleh ulama-ulama yang beramal dengan ilmunya serta takut hanya kepada ALLAH. Yang tidak mencari habuan dunia jauh sekali berebut kuasa pemerintahan. INSYAALLAH pertolongan ALLAH jika kita benar-benar bertakwa.

Lawyer ini biar betul.
Kalau upset apahal cari Tun pulak?
Suami, isteri, Mak Ayah tak boleh buat bual bicara hati yang gundah lara ke?
Tidak cukup ilmu nampak!
Macam ini boleh jadi Lawyer ke?

Entahlah...
Pembunuh boleh lepas atau sebaliknya sebab Lawyer yang bijak.
Sekarang ini Lawyer nampaknya macam lebih prihatin kepada mempertahankan orang yang ambil bahagian dalam perhimpunan haram dari Polis yang menjaga ketenteraman awan.
Mereka kisah ke apa yang akan jadi pada keluarga Polis itu jika polis itu berserah sahaja nyawa dan nasib kepada kumpulan yang ramai itu?
Oh, sebab Polis pakai uniform, boot kulit,berchota dan sebagainya.
So the correct thing is that they should strip all Police gear and confront the mob, man to man?
Adil kepada satu, tapi apahal dengan yang lain pula ?Macam mana dengan timbangtara itu?
Apa akan jadi bila dalam kumpulan ramai itu ada seorang sahaja yang sengaja mengujudkan keadaan marah dan kebarangkalian huru hara tercetus itu menjadi mudah dan keadaan langsung jadi tidak terkawal?Ada fikir pasal orang awam yang sememangnya sibuk dengan aktiviti harian atau yang tidak boleh tidak suka menyibuk.
Siapa yang harus dipersalahkan?
Polis atau kumpulan itu?
Soalan nya,kenapa Lawyer mesti berada disitu?

Rasanya lah, lain kali bila ada orang hendak merompak, panggil lah Lawyer, jadi bila Polis datang, Lawyer guna ayat bagus, perompak dapat layanan istimewa, silap haribulan lepas pulak. Mangsa yang di rompak –ternganga, kena buat macam biasa, jika perlu panggil ambulan ke, hantar surau ke, buat persiapan ......

Walaupun bukan semua, bila kita gerak dalam kumpulan, semua nya jadi terpalit.Maka bertanggungjawab lah sikit.
Saya tidak percaya dia tidak tahu, tapi saya rasa dia buat tak tahu.
Walau apa pun, jawapan jujur Tun telah memberikan saya pengetahuan .

Assalamualaikum Tun.Semoga Tun berdua sentiasa diberkati dengan keadaan kesihatan yang memuaskan

Dengan Izin Tun..Terima kasih..

DR. NORSHINAH KAMARUDIN

Berbanyak terima kasih tentang maklumbalas puan dan saya amat setuju tentang komen mengenai zaq25..

Saya rasa puan telah tertinggal artikel tentang Lim Kuan Yew sebagai the 'biggest puppet' among them and he is a 'plant' too.

Jika ada artikel tentang LKY harap maklumkan..

Tq..

Assalamualaikum wbt Ayahanda Tun.

Jika seorang Perdana Menteri telah dengan jelas melanggar Rukun Negara Malaysia iaitu:

KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN

KESETIAAN KEPADA RAJA DAN NEGARA

KELUHURAN PERLEMBAGAAN

KEDAULATAN UNDANG-UNDANG

KESOPANAN DAN KESUSILAAN

Dan jika juga didapati bahawa telah terbukti seorang Perdana Menteri telah dengan sengaja melanggar Rukun Negara maka adakah YDP Agung boleh memecat Perdana Menteri berkenaan? Apakah lunas-lunasnya? Apakah ada mahkamah yang cukup kewibawaan dan kredibilitinya untuk boleh digunapakai untuk menjadi medan keadilan disini? Berapa hakim perlu untuk mendengar kes ini? 10, 20 atau 100 orang? Atau pun sebenarnya adakah Angkatan Tentera Di-Raja Malaysia (asalnya Di-Raja Melayu) terletak dibawah jurisdiksi YDP Agung secara mutlak jika ini berlaku?

Itu merupakan soalan yang boleh dipertikaikan pada peringkat awalan ini.

Bagaimana pula jika ditakdirkan Anwar menjadi PM selepas Najib dan Pakatan Rakyat akan membentuk Kerajaan dan akan menyebabkan UMNO menjadi pembangkang dan berhaluan kiri? Bagaimana jika Anwar pada Persidangan Dewan Negara yang pertama selepas Pilihan Raya terus mengambil langkah-langkah untuk melucutkan semua dan segala keistimewaan Melayu, termasuk (secara teratur dan berperingkat) membubarkan institusi Raja-Raja Melayu seperti mana tuntutan PAP melalui DAP?

Jangan kita ingat perkara ini tak akan boleh berlaku, sebab hari ini saya melihatkan rata-rata Melayu yang memangkah Pakatan hanya melakukannya kerana 2 sebab:

1) Kesetiaan kepada PAS (agenda PAS menjatuhkan UMNO)
2) Terlalu taksub dengan Anwar Ibrahim yang juga sedang bergelumang dengan pelbagai isu moral dalam mahkamah.

Maka oleh disebabkan kedua-dua faktor ini, para Melayu tadi semua bertekad memangkah Pakatan Rakyat. DAP hanyalah berada dalam Pakatan untuk mengcengkau kuasa kepimpinan negara ini melalui proses pilihanraya. Jika PAS berceramah (saya pernah hadir) dengan nada yang bahawa selepas Pakatan berjaya menjatuhkan BN kelak, maka PAS akan berdiri untuk melindungi kepentingan Melayu, maka ini adalah pembohongan yang telah mula bocor apabila dengan jelas sekali PAS tunduk dan akur kepada perintah DAP untuk menghentikan semua perbincangan Kerajaan Perpaduan UMNO PAS yang jelas akan menguatkan lagi Melayu dan Islam di Malaysia. Apakah rasional PAS yang lebih baik dari ayat saya tadi hingga mereka terus memutuskan untuk tidak lagi berani bercakap langsung pun mengenainya dengan UMNO? Anwar Ibrahim selaku Ketua Pembangkang memainkan peranan yang penting dalam menundukkan PAS kepada larangan dan perintah DAP. Daripada sini sahaja mari kita buat andaian sendiri hari ini, adakah PAS akan mampu mengawal keadaan selepas PRU13 kelak jika UMNO tumbang? Mampukah PAS menunaikan janji ini? Adakah Kerusi yang dipegang oleh wakil PKR dalam Kerajaan Pakatan akan menuju kepada PAS atau akan berhijrah meninggalkan PKR kepada DAP? Apakah Anwar Ibrahim tidak akan menukar pegangan falsafah politiknya pula pada tika itu? Tidakkah itu akan membawa perpecahan kepada Kerajaan Pakatan DAP/PAS/PKR? “Chaos Theory”: apa benar mampukah PAS akan mampu menyelamatkan Melayu dan juga Malaysia dalam kemelut perpecahan Pakatan Rakyat selepas PRU13 kelak dengan menggunakan teori berkenaan (jika mereka membentuk kerajaan)? Jika matlamat PAS dalam "Chaos Theory" mereka adalah untuk membentuk perpaduan Melayu dari para kelompok UMNO dan PKR, maka kenapa mesti ditunggu hingga nasik sudah menjadi bubur? Kenapa tidak dianjurkan perpaduan daripada sekarang? Apakah matlamat PAS adalah untuk mencari kemenangan dalam kemusnahan? Tenunglah sendiri.

Tahukah mereka apakah akibat daripada perbuatan mereka kepada anak cucu mereka kelak? Jelas sekali mereka tidak tahu dan tak berminat untuk ambil tahu. Ini adalah kerana sentimen benci membenci yang di terapkan oleh PAS selama ini. Tidakkah para alim warak PAS tahu bahawa kebencian hanya akan membawa kepada kemusnahan? Ini adalah satu elemen yang amat sangat memerlukan keikhlasan kepimpinan PAS dan UMNO untuk menyebarkan informasi yang tepat kepada akar umbi Melayu dan Islam.

Lihat bagaimana PAS bersekongkol dengan DAP di Perak dan mengambil langkah durhaka kepada Sultan serta bermegah pula dengan ini. Ada pernahkah Melayu mendurhaka kepada Raja atau Sultan sebegini? Derhaka Jebat berprinsip dan berlandaskan harga diri, namun akhirnya beliau juga akur kepada kehendak Sultan. Derhaka Nizar dan PAS Perak? Hanya kerana desakkan beberapa orang taukeh babi? Taukeh lombong? Adakah orang Melayu tahu apa sebenarnya DAP di sebalik topeng Kit Siang dan Karpal? Adakah orang Melayu tahu betapa pentingnya si Yahudi broker Perang Iraq – yang juga penyembelih rakyat Iraq Paul Wolfowitz kepada Anwar Ibrahim? Ini saya melihatkan kegagalan yang jelas dan nyata pada bahagian penyebaran informasi cabang pentadbiran Kerajaan hari ini. Cukupkah Menteri Penerangan berkenaan hanya sekadar termampu menghiburkan kita semua dengan gaya pertuturan dan susunan bahasa Melayu beliau yang baik? Adakah hiburan sebegini yang diperlukan pada saat ini?

Dalam Pakatan Rakyat formulanya begini: DAP tarik undi bukan Melayu. PAS tarik undi Melayu Islam atas lingkungan umur 30 tahun. Manakala PKR pula akan sentiasa bertindak aggresif untuk menarik undi golongan belia Melayu (lihat dengan sejelas-jelasnya analisis ini) hingga ke lingkungan umur 40 tahun. Jika kita lihat pada aturan ini, jelas mereka mempunyai strategi yang cukup jitu. Apakah yang Menteri Belia kita telah usahakan? Cukupkah dengan dua tiga iklan kaku di kaca TV kita 30 saat selang sekali?

Hari ini, polisi Datuk Seri Najib “One Malaysia” – dikatakan telah menyimpang daripada Perlembagaan dan Rukun Negara. Adakah ianya menyimpang? Jawapannya adalah tidak sama sekali. Rujuk semula kepada Perlembagaan dan Rukun Negara Malaysia, maka dengan jelas akan dapat dilihat bahawa ini sebenarnya adalah konsep perpaduan yang menjadi salah satu daripada tunjang tuntutan Rukun Negara kita. Akan tetapi kenapa agaknya pembangkang menuduh sebegitu? Saya tidak akan terkejut jika pembangkang akan memanjangkan isu ini hingga ke tangga keadilan mahkamah tertinggi negara. Pastinya juga pembangkang telah tahu bahawa mereka akan tewas (dan mereka memang mengharapkan tertewas), akan tetapi mereka hanya mahukan “precedent” untuk menetapkan bahawa jika PM dituduh sedemikian pun tetap tidak akan membawa kepada sebarang kesalahan, maka kelak jika Pakatan memerintah dan PM Pakatan mencadangkan kepada Parlimen untuk menggubal serta memansuhkan semua akta kepentingan Bumiputra dan juga Institusi Raja-Raja Melayu, dan jika pembangkang pada ketika itu (UMNO) membantah dan juga turut mengikut lunas sama bahawa PM telah melanggar Perlembagaan dan Rukun Negara, maka Kerajaan Pakatan akan mengguna “precedent” yang akan mereka lakarkan hari ini sebagai senjata untuk meneruskan agenda mereka.

Lihat betapa yakinnya mereka hari ini Tun. Lihatlah pula apakah langkah yang telah diambil oleh pihak Kerajaan UMNO hari ini. Lihatlah pada para Menteri kita. Apakah prospek mereka Tun? Datuk Seri Najib perlu tahu menilai semua ini daripada sekarang.

Terima kasih Tun.

Salam.

Kami sentiasa mendoakan kesihatan Tun berdua.

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat sentiasa. Pandangan saya pada tajuk ini dan komen yg tersiar...

................SAMAR INDAH

Kalau tak jelas pulangkan kuasa pada rakyat, bukan menerap kuasa untuk sendiri. Perlembagaan kalau nak beri kuasa pada sesiapa akan terus cakap begitu dgn ayat jelas. Penggubal perlembagaan bukan bodoh.

Pangkalnya, dalam demokrasi kuasa ditangan rakyat. Masaalahnya siapa yg diberi amanah jalankan tanggung jawab ini. PM, Parlimen, Kehakiman, Raja? Jawapannya dalam perlembagaan, dan watak ini semua adalah pemegang amanah bukan pemegang kuasa mutlak.

Kuasa ditangan rakyat! Perebutan antara cabang kuasa ini mesti ikut perlembagaan yg perlu di junjung oleh empat sekawan ini.

.............DEMOKRASI DAN RAJA

Demokrasi berparlimen ialah pemerintahan ditangan rakyat(demokrasi), menerusi wakil rakyat (parlimen). Raja berperlembagaan ialah Raja patuh pada perlembagaan.

Rukunnegara M’sia, keluhuran pada perlembagaan, kedaulatan pada undang undang, kesetiaan pada Raja. Keluhuran tiada tanding, kedaulatan tiada kecuali, kesetiaan untuk abadi. Maksudnya, perlembagaan dahulu, kemudian undang undang baru Raja, bukan terbalik.

Baca perkataan Rukunnegara. Yg 'daulat' undang undang, di 'junjung' perlembagaan (luhur), 'setia' pada Raja. Lihat bila tiga ini duduk bersama, perkataan paling tinggi pada perlembagaan, kedua undang undang ketiga Raja.Setia maknanya jgn ditinggalkan bukan mendaulat, menjunjung mengatasi undang undang atau perlembagaan.

Ini semua perjuangan kemerdekaan diterajui Umno dulu. Skrg ada cucu cicit derhaka nak terbalikkan pengorbanan mrk!

.................INGKAR

MB dapat mandat dari DUN, harus dipecat oleh DUN. Kalau degil ada peraturan DUN menyingkir, menghukumnya. Bukan budi bicara Sultan memilih sesiapa. Sultan hanya boleh tolak pilihan DUN, tidak boleh ambil kuasa DUN! Mana cermin rakyat, DUN atau seorang Sultan?

MB yg ingkar meletak jawatan, tanggung jawab DUN ambil tindakan.

..............SI TANGGANG
Ada beberapa orang Umno yg langsung tak tahu malu, lupa perbuatan dulu. Skrg pura pura berjinak dgn Raja krn sendiri sudah lemah. Dulu waktu mrk kuat, bukan main lantang beri amaran pada Raja jgn campuri hal politik negara serta bertegang dgn pihak istana meluluskan pindaan thn '83, '93 menyekat kuasa Raja.

Mengingkar keputusan Raja dah lama berlaku waktu pindaan '83. Masa Pak Lah mencabar keputusan Sultan Perlis, Terengganu. Himpun luar istana, sepanduk biadap, sidang akhbar, amaran, berarak berlaku di Perlis, Terengganu 'mencabar' keputusan Raja. Semua ini 'menekan' Raja tarik balik keputusan. Perak mulakan proses undang undang 'membetulkan' keputusan Tuanku di Mahkamah bukan membakar perasaan rakyat.

Skrg keadaan terbalik Umno cuba juga cara kotor dgn membakar perasaan. Nampak perangai si Tanggang menghalau ibu bila megah, tapi bila susah kena sumpah...

PS: 'Wajaperak', kalau 9 bulan PR berpoya poya (don't deliver) dan bukan mengandung anak, kenapa BN tergesa gesa rampas kuasa. Let them bathe in their own mud or shoot themselves! Also my feet nothing, pls check yours??

Yg Berbahagia Tun,

Itu ketua pembangkang Anuar Ibrahim bersuara lagi ala tukang karut. Bak kata pepatah sudah terang lagi bersuluh. Pengerusi DAP Kedah sudah canai seluruh dunia membawa partinya keluar dari Pakatan Rakyat kerana tidak puas hati dengan pentadbiran Pas Kedah. Ke
lakarnya, sibadut ini menafikannya...tak ke sumbang bunyinya...lainlah jika tauke Lim Kit Siang & Son mewancananya.

Maka berkata beliau lagi...ini media arus perdana yang perbesarkan cerita - kalau dalam BN banyak perbezaan dalam banyak perkara, tetapi tak pula diperbesarkan. Salahkan media pulak!!

Mana bolih samakan BN dengan Pakatan Rakyat dalam menangani dan menyelesaikan apa jua kemelut dan rasa tidak puas hati sesuatu perkara atau isu yang berbangkit. Masakan beliau tak tahu sewaktu sama-sama berada dalam saf kerajaan suatu ketika dahulu...atau berpura-pura buat tak tahu.

Nampak gayanya seniman tua ini kenalah masuk kelas fardhu ain BN semula supaya tidak dikatakan Tok Mudimnya 'Melayu Mudah Lupa'

salam tun

Tun,
somebody wrote a splatter of cantonese,hokkien & a little mandarin hoping Tun can understand or at least get an interpreter to translate for Tun.Maybe Tun already knows 'cos they are very common everyday chinesse expressions.Tun can just laugh it off.
RT

Ayahanda,

Yesterday I was in A Farmosa HQ, Menara Safuan, and I have a chance to talk to a chinese lady who does not speak Cantonese, nor read Mandarin, an Adminstrative middle age executive, kind and very helpful.

When I know that she does not know Mandarin, I asked her whether she agrees Chua Soi Lek played behind his wife, she answered that it is his personal matter (she has already influenced by Ng Yen Yen, and a Malay blogger commented Ng Yen Yen have houses in Australia, these are the cina who eat duit babi, and they are more babi than the babi, this is what I learned from my husband, and he is a Hongkonger, my HK friend).

I told her that in USA, once a public figure (our politician) got caught having affair behind his wife, he will have to resign because as a public figure, there are moral and ethnic codes that he or she must obeyed, if not, the gossip magazines will demoralized that party, that is freedom of speech and human rights in USA Capitalism. This is how I learned from Ayahanda how to catch a thief who cries thief.

She immediately asked for my name card and I have given to her. I will send the proposal to Bayu tomorrow and will let our Tun Dr Mahathir to know that he has raised some very very patriotic Malaysian regardless their races.

The KLCI share market remains stable since yesterday and today. We will see from now how our KLCI reacts, and I want to know whether we can maintained at 1,050 points or not within these 2 weeks. if it does maintained, it means our BNM and Security Commissioner are doing the right jobs!!!!

Good night Ayahanda and take care.

Mintak izin untuk bertukar pandangan dengan S.TAN;
Kenapa pulak Sultan yang awak tuduh jadi punca kekecohan kat perak!!
Yang buat kecoh ialah ahli2 politik.lebih kecoh apabila si batu2api yang memang nak kuasa sultan terhapus hasut rakyat perak 'gertak' sultan untuk bubarkan DUN.(saya yakin awak tahu siapa si batu2 api tu)

Awak hafal,faham dan terima rukun negara malaysia?
rukun yg ke5 ialah 'kesopanan dan kesusilaan'.Kalau ahli2 PR memandang serius terhadap rukun negara, menerima dan mengamalkan, perak masih aman.
mungkin awak tuduh umno rasuah 3org tu untuk lompat.kenapa tak rasuah balik 3org tu untuk dapatkan kembali sokongan?mereka kan pernah jadi rakan seperjuangan PR.sudah tentu lebih mudah la untuk berbincang.(ingatkan umno je yg rasuah,PR pun bole cerita jugak)

Saya pun tak bole terima si pelompat2 katak ni sebab kebanyakan orang undi parti bukan undi wakilnye.memang ada juga yg undi wakil parti..apapun saya tergelak besar juga bila PR member yg lompat. bukankah sepatunye BN yg lompat dan peralihan kuasa berlaku dan si anwar or isterinye yg jadi PM kite.ITULAH,lain kali guna cara yg GENTLEMEN.jadi tak lah menonjolkan sifat GAYNTLEMEN.

I am stressing on how to be GREAT.

Whether American puppet or Anti-american is another matter.

Like it or not, America is the centre and capital of the world. If it were China I would have said go to China, if Japan then go to Japan. But today the 'great empire' is the USA.

To bypass the USA would be a tremendous loss and a waste of everything. No point entering through the side/back door or snipping from the sidelines when even a 'joker' like Bush (of the US) can instantly and easily be a world leader.

Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe were nobody before Hollywood. Do you know any English of French actors? No! It's all about America. This is a fact. To be great and famous and legendary you have to land on American shores.

No point reading all those 'textbooks' if you can't even get the basics right...all that knowledge to sheer waste...

Salam Tun,

1. Macam mana pula dengan kerajaan minoriti?

2. Fungsi dan peranan 'backbenchers'?

3. Vote by conscience as opposed to vote by whip?

Salaam Tun and family,may you are always in good health and receive Blessings and Mercy from Allah.

Allow me to respond to zaq25's long-winded pathetic sometimes off-tangent comment.

Zaq25 and others should read beyond the horizon and go tho these websites and read the following books, to see what the NEW WORLD ORDER, ONE-WORLD GOVERMENT and the 'puppets' of the Western powers are all about,and the ultimate aim of impoverishing as many nations as possible; and to usurp as many strategic assets and natural resources of the countries, as possible.
...in the guise of "democracy", "civil rights", "civil society", "freedom of speech", "free press", "libera lisation fo nation's economy/ banking sector"...and in that process, stimulate "civil unrest", plummetting of the national currency and wages; and thus create situations to get the masses to fight each other.

"Puppets" for Western interest:
1. Anwar Ibrahim- Malaysia
2. Maliki- Iraq
3. Hamid Karzai- Afghanistan
4. Musharraf- Bhutto- Ali- Pakistan
5. The current Presidents in the Balkan state, former Federation of Yugoslavia/ Serbia, Ukraine, Georgia,Croatia,Bosnia, Albania
6. Aung Saan Suu Kyi- Burms
THEY ALL KOW-TOW to Washington, IMF and the WORLD BANK dictates)

Deja vu Nalaysia.

[[Mrk tidak mahu beri pembangkang peluang tunjuk kebolehan mentadbir. Tapi mainan politik mrk menyeksa negeri dan rakyat!]]

Sekarang S..Tan tembak kaki sendiri!!..

Apa yang sebenarnya berlaku di dalam tempoh 9 bulan 10 hari pembangkang 'mentadbir'??

They does not delivered!!!

Mainan poilitik?...Mainan..?? Tepat sekali..BN ( Batalion in Army ) replied in the same manner the game was played..Correspondingly..

S..Tan, want to shoot more in your foot??

TUN,
Annuar Ibrahim akan ke mahkamah untuk mempertahankan diri dari tuduhan meliwat. Namun kes maseh belum didengar dia dah mengandaikan akan diri nya akan didapati bersalah oleh mahkamah.(Memang macam bersalah pun)dan bersedia di penjarakan. Kes yang lalu dia memilih jalan yang aggeresif untuk menafikan tuduhan nya.Kali ini cara yang boleh membuat rakyat rasa simpati.
Itu lah kelicikan politik nya dia membuat kenyataan sedemikian untuk mendapati SIMPATI penyokong2 dan rakyat. Dan boleh lah penyokong2 tegar ini menimbulkan huru hara. Setidak2 nya penyokong nya dan geng2 dalam PR terus memberi sokongan pada peliwat ini.
Pada DAP dan PAS kes liwat ini bukan lah satu kesalahan AKHLAK untuk menyingkirkan atau menolak mana2 pemimpin dalam gabungan mereka asalkan orang2 ini boleh merampas kuasa dari BN.
DAP mana ada tau haram halal.PAS memang dah buat perjanjian dan berkawan dengan Syaitan. Dah tak kesah lah jahat atau buruk sesaorang makhlok tu. Janji mendapat kuasa.
Jika kali ini Annuar di dapati bersalah oleh mahkamah dan di jatuh kan penjara, biarakan lah jangan lah nanti ada pulak yang cuba melepaskan nya. Nanti ibarat melepaskan anjing tersepit.
Biarlah dia merengkok dalam penjara dari perbuatan terkutuk nya itu.
Annuar lah segala IBU permasaalah negara. IBU segala tidak kesetabilan politik dan kerajaan.
Dia hanya memikirkan politik 'Dendam' dan untuk berkuasa. Sanggup mengunakan segala macam tipu dan pembohongan untuk mendapat sokongan rakyat. Sanggup menjual maruah bangsa dan agama demi untuk memenuhi kehendak nya untuk menjadi PM dan sekali gus akan melenyapkan dan menutup segala kemungkaran yang telah di lakukan nya. Mungkin jika dia melakukan nya lagi dah pasti tidak akan ada siasatan keatas diri nya.
TOK GURU tu eluk lah bersara. Beri lah pada pemimpin2 muda yang lebih dinamik untuk memimpin PAS. Kebelakangan ni pun asyik merapu dan melalut saja.
TOk Hadi pun dah mula spin2. Tak ada prinsip diri, tidak seperti timbalan nya Ustaz Nasa lebih nampak kewajaran dan berdiplomasi.
Apa kah rakyat merelakan negara ini di pimpin oleh seorang peliwat.
Fikir2 kan lah.

I agrees with you on Lina ( Just wait for real Joy ) and Shamala child custody cases but not Perak political crisis..( There is no crisis to begin with...only amplified exaggeration on somebody part and tolerance on the part of another )

[[I am not certain this situation is because of intellectual deficiency or expedience.

After hearing the statement made by Nik Aziz, I would like to repeat my earlier comment but this time directed more towards PAS leaders.

Don't expect anything from PAS leaders. They do not have the political will to unite the ummah.They have their own political agenda and vested interest. That's their first priority. They don't have the drive, desire and full commitment to really wanting to take care of the well being of their Muslim brothers. They don't imbibe the true teaching of the Quran. They interpret the Quran to suit their own political ideology to the extent that they are making the ummah confused and disunited with no positive direction to look forward.

The Muslims are doomed to fail dulu, kini dan selamanya !! Why?
Simply because PAS leaders lack the WISDOM AND COMMON SENSE !!

Many statements made by the leaders reflect their poor maturity of thoughts. They are way below the benchmark of true Muslim leaders.
PAS leaders have done nothing to create anything good for the Malays.Literally, they are "deaf, blind and dumb". Sum mun buk mun um yun fahum laa yar jiuun !!
PAS leaders are all failures. To be blunt they are simply haprak and HP6.

Mereka masih lagi terkapar-kapar, bingung dan meraba-raba ke hala mana mereka nak bawa bangsa Melayu dan Islam..

Mengapa umat Melayu hingga kini tidak boleh bersatu? Kerana semua pemimpin PAS hanya pandai main "politik kampong". Politik "kopiah putih" !! Mereka kurang pengetahuan global sebab mereka tidak bijak!! Terimalah hakikat ini. Mereka sebenarnya tidak layak memimpin umat Melayu Islam.

Melayu Islam nak bersatu? Forget it. The Malays can never be united selagi sifat cemburu, dengki, iri hati, riak dan bodoh sombong bergelumang dilobok hati mereka.

Itulah sifat Melayu Asli yang tak boleh di kikis. Dah sebati dalam darah daging mereka.

Salam kasih dan hormat Ayahanda Tun.

I have many good non Muslim friends. Friends who’ve seen me through some tough spaces and friends whom I could always count on for a good laugh over things once in a while and I know they eat pork. I know they eat bacon strips for breakfast and pork chops for dinner – hell, they are no kosher. But they are my friends and I take them as they come as that is just plenty good enough for me already.

I am a muslim. But I guess when you reach out to make friendships you just have to learn respect and acceptance vise-versa. Anything less I would not term it as friendship – association, alliance, coalition are the more apt words maybe. Meaning it has no love or loyalty and no reverence – just business. It’s just like flying blind; you merely go by the numbers and pray you are on the right path. Similarly like what is happening to Pakatan Rakyat in Kedah. DAP Kedah has pulled out of Pakatan because the Parti Islam Malaysia PAS – their close “friend” has told the pig farmers to close shops and sell something else. Kedah is fast becoming a solid Islamic state now, and surely PAS don’t need any pig rearing and happy eating DAP members to dictate them on that! No way!

Not even if DAP is their close friend? A friend that needs each other to topple the Malay governing system and the Institusi Raja-Raja Melayu Malaysia? And replace that with a President someday like in PAP Lee Kuan Yew & Sons owned Singapore?

Now, are we sure the picture is what it is? Come on PAS and DAP? You two are bosom buddies now (whose/what bosom your guest good as mine). Well I think that Pakatan Rakyat is all about populist politics…Is it a bird, is it a plane – nope! Its Super Man Anwar! So we all know how the current ground level perception is over the failed PAS UMNO unity talk. People (not me) are saying PAS is lembu and PKR is gembala while DAP is towkey. Let’s just observe the PAS/pig farm/DAP episode in Kedah from far and lets just count on the minutes and seconds when Super Man Anwar, powered by the all Jewish IMF, CNN and USA after-burners who would swoop in to save the day.

Give them a break; some image, some faces some butts needs to be saved here and the pigs would help them do it. The flying pigs with Super Man Anwar. Don’t mess with them, they have many flying things – don’t forget that Spiritual Advisor turned malevolent spirit already – an Afrit by trade now. Goodness, some cast we got here!

But all in all, a very neat play indeed, a script well written by none other than maestro DAP, the stage/play owner (just like CATS). Bravo PAS, Bravo DAP, Bravo PKR! Encore!

(Back ground music score by Hindraf Street Ensemble).

Interesting. The constitution new remains academic. it works on arithmetic and not on the principles of justice. Datuk Seri Nizar lose his MB seat due to BN acceptance of PKR's and DAP assemplymen/woman who
-had no principle in upholding their pledge during election
-are under ACA court charges.
and the unprincipled UMNO assemblyman doing a U turn.
BN cling to the Perak government by protecting to two men against being found guilty. When will they be brought to trial?
Justice is really denied to the Rakyat.

Ayahanda,

Izinkan....

To zaq25,

Hong Kong (SAR-Special Adminstration Region), Mr Lee Kah Seng has Tun Dr M's stye because HE CANNOT BE BOUGHT and Anti-CORRUPTION because MANUSIA MUDAH LUPA (or Yam Sui Sze Yuen), you don't know ke? If you want to do business with these 2 wise men, never2 corrupt them, k. Hm... I know why Mr Lee Kuan Yew did not meet our Tun Dr M because Tun Dr M is not the "kah ki lang" GENG ma!!!!!

Enjoy yourself Ayahanda.

Salam Tun.
Ini adalah pendapat lanjutan dari saya, seorang rakyat biasa yang "dummies" tentang Perlembagaan Negara.

soalan: Kalaulah seorang Perdana Menteri yang sedang mentadbir negara berlaku khianat terhadap agama, bangsa dan negaranya; tidak adakah undang-undang atau peraturan untuk menyekat perkara ini dari berlanjutan?

soalan: Apakah kita mahu melihat seorang pengkhianat sedang memerintah dengan maharajalelanya? Maka seharusnya kita menyekat perkara ini dari berlaku. Apakah kuasa pihak Majlis Raja-raja dalam soal ini? Saya terfikir sejenak (I wonder)??

Bukan rakyat lagi yang berkuasa ketika ini (walaupun demokrasi, bukankah kita ada raja-raja), tetapi Majlis Raja-raja lah yang perlu memainkan peranan mereka, jika perkara seperti ini berlaku di negara tercinta ini. Hendak menunggu lima tahun untuk menurunkan seorang Perdana Menteri begitu lama dan "hopeless". Tambahan pula, presiden parti yang memerintah (jika menang pilihanraya) akan terus dilantik menjadi Perdana Menteri.

Janganlah menyekat atau memperkecilkan kuasa raja-raja iaitu hanya bersidang setiap tahun di dalam Majlis ini untuk memilih siapa Agong seterusnya atau siapa timbalan Agong seterusnya, selain hal-hal keagamaan dan soal polisi negara. Tetapi perlu Majlis Raja-raja mempunyai hak untuk bersidang bagi membincangkan perkara seperti ini.

soalan: Untuk apa?
Untuk membuat keputusan sama ada perlu atau tidak memecat Perdana Menteri itu.

soalan: Caranya?
Caranya mesyuarat tergempar(berbincang) Majlis Raja-raja untuk mendapatkan kata sepakat/majoriti suara di antara mereka atau membuang undi di dalam Majlis untuk mendapatkan majoriti ini. Inilah kuasa yang perlu ada pada Majlis Raja-raja. Apakah raja-raja tidak mahu mempertahankan tanahair atau kawasan jajahan takluk mereka sendiri? Bukankah baginda raja-raja juga mendiami tanahair ini?

Seharusnya pihak Majlis Raja-raja inilah yang mampu memutuskan agar seorang Perdana Menteri boleh dipecat di bawah kuasa mereka dan melantik timbalan Perdana Menteri sebagai Perdana Menteri yang baru. (Lantik boleh, nak pecat Perdana Menteri kena minta nasihat Perdana Menteri. Apada..)

Maka akan kembalilah daulat raja-raja. Barulah dikatakan meletakkan hak pada yang berhak. Asyik membenarkan badan kehakiman yang tidak juga mampu memberi kata putus dalam hal-hal sebegini, begitu menjelakkan (muak).

Ini hanyalah pendapat seorang Pak Dogo seperti saya.
Sekian, terima kasih.

Salam Tun. Semoga Tun sihat-sihat bersama keluarga tercinta.

Izinkan saya mengutarakan pendapat saya ini. Saya mulakan dengan persoalan "Tidak bolehkah perlembagaan ini diubah pada masa kini?". Ini kerana tidakkah sepatutnya kuasa ini terletak ditangan Majlis Raja-raja yang bersidang setiap tahun?
Maksudnya, jikalau berlakunya pengkhianatan daripada pihak Perdana Menteri yang sedang mentadbir negara, maka kuasanya adalah pada Majlis Raja-raja yang bersidang bersama kesemua sultan-sultan setiap negeri serta Yang DiPertuan Agong untuk memutuskan supaya Perdana Menteri ini dipecat atau tidak, dengan membincangkan di dalam Majlis tersebut atau membuang undi daripada setiap sultan-sultan untuk mendapatkan majoriti suara. Maka jika telah mendapatkan sebulat suara, lalu tindakannya haruslah dijalankan samada pemecatan dilakukan atau tidak.

Ini hanya pendapat saya yang "dummies" tentang Perlembagaan Negara.

Sekian, terima kasih.

Selamat Pagi Tun,

The 1993 amendments to the Constitution of Malaysia must be review again and amend it with stronger people's power.

agreed.
lambang kedaulatan melayu di mahkota raja.

Salam Tun,

Saya rasa sedikit gusar, bukan dengan DS Najib, tapi isteri beliau. Hari-hari mesti ada dalam slot berita TV (TV3). Saya rasa samada ianya sebagai satu cara 'apple-polishing' sesetengah pihak atau individu tertentu atau ianya adalah 'satu arahan' yang mesti dipatuhi. Wallahualam.

Tun,
Only Tun alone has the power & status to mention such a sensitive matter.Most ordinary M'sians will be quite timid mentioning it in public esp'y the civil servants lest he loses his job tomorrow & his rice bowl is broken.
Tun if I remember rightly PM Najib was sworn in as new PM in first wk of April not so long ago.It amazes me that a lawyer can come & ask you this Question.Is he or both of you not confident that he can perform satisfactorily.After all he has not even warmed up his seat yet!!Ermh??
Trouble is when he lifted up the 30% quota for bumi equity to appease the foreign & local investors certain quarters are unhappy.If he doesn't lift up certain sectors in Malaysia are also unhappy.He can never ever please all at the same time.I think you also found out abt that Tun when you were our PM for 22 yrs.There is no single policy that can please all sectors.
RT

Salam kasih dan hormat Ayahanda Tun, in my humble view, a new radical campaigning strategy is much needed by BN.

It is NOT by asking Khairy to “masuk kampung toreh getah sama-sama orang kampung” or for a lovable pink Puteri door to door service. It’s also not by character assassination of the opponent anymore and it’s damn certainly not by making threats that there would be no development for a certain area should they vote in the opposition.

Initiatives must be undertaken by UMNO to have the latest detailed voters profiling.

An up to-date data bank on voter’s age, income groups, occupations and family base must be made available at the touch of a keypad. Where is your marketing and cyber team UMNO?

When you have all that, UMNO must attempt to accurately de-cluster the voters into smaller specific groupings. Say just 50 voters per groupings. Segmenting – i.e. market branding the masses.

Then UMNO must establish what might best be an important element in politics for that each and every grouping would or may particularly be. Then tailor the campaign strategies to target each of those specific groupings.

By having this database, you would not end up with a wrong campaign course, you would not be at lost on current topical issues and you would not make the silliest mistake of forgetting what Mukim you are presently at in front of the micro-phone.

Educate the voters that they must always go for the best deal possible. Be it when shopping at local supermarkets or when voting, always go for maximum gains. Tell the people that this BN candidate can be put to good use by them for the next 5 years. They could really kerjakan/perkudakan the said candidate. The YB for the candidate does not stand as Yang Berhormat anymore, but it should be Yang Bekerja (politely putting it).
Tell them to kick the donkey if he wins, make the donkey work for them – it’s their donkey.

The voting rakyat must be educated on how they could best use their wisdom and voting power for specific gain - to be precise; for their very own specific gain. As of now, that link is still sorely missing in UMNO campaign strategy.

UMNO must neutralize all the opposition campaigns not by answering all allegations. That’s stupid. But UMNO should neutralize that by simple re-education, by educating the voters how they could best use their wisdom for specific gain; for their specific gain – how they could best kerjakan their aspiring candidate.

UMNO must find the very fine line that divides the oppositions hope and gains - from the voter’s actual needs and gains, and then UMNO must go all out and highlight on those issues. On a mirror reflection to this, it has always been the opposition playground.

As is now, anger and blind character assassinations makes the mark at the booths and for the next few years the people would be left with nothing save for the opposition candidate they voted in who could not do much (except makan gaji buta) and the real winner is the opposition bosses in KL - their versions of the “backroom heavyweights”.

Finally, as insignificant as it may be, UMNO should begin each speech with an apology for what the rakyat had to endure for 5 years under Abdullah Badawi Admin. I have said that before, but off course none coming. By doing that there may perhaps be acceptance again before things become really too late for anything of that nature. You cannot get anything much right at any branch, if at foundation you are slacking. UMNO, you may be big and you must know that you have hurt many rakyat at large especially under Abdullah Badawi Admin (remember PRU12). So a few small words today, neatly arrange in a bouquet of sincerity would bridge that hurt down to acceptance, and that word is; sorry. You are never too big to say it UMNO and they are never too small to deserve it. No one ever is.

UMNO has the entire necessary platform to complete the picture here, good governance, good economic platforms, but the distressing thing is that UMNO still cant seems to have those elusive links. In the previous government of Datuk Seri Dr. Mahathir, Datuk Hussein Onn, Datuk Abdul Razak – they never needed this link because their track records is exemplary. People (the voters) completely “malu-alah” with them. The names I mentioned above (except Abdullah’s) carry with them a certain endearing aura. But today, thanks to Abdullah’s and Khairy’s regime – that element is almost completely gone – and so thus too, all those precious “unassailable” links for UMNO. So now UMNO should just work on the missing links and hopefully they would be able to transmit themselves better all the way to the ground. In campaigning it’s not about working hard and feeling good about it, it’s all about reaching out. Maybe your face, maybe your attire maybe your creed that they like – it’s all about reaching out. But these days I believe it has also got to be about incentives and persuasion.

I am well into my forty’s now Tun and the first campaign that I had tagged along was in 1977, and it was for an uncle of mine. He held the BN seat 5 terms until health pushed him to retirement. Admittedly, today I am out of the loop and a novice by preference. But still my hunch says: never underestimate market branding and brand segmenting power UMNO. You can sell anything you want if you got those two correct.

I hope that Tun would not go down campaigning just yet in Manik Urai. It is not the same as it was when you left Tun, it has deteriorated beyond comprehension. Remember the saying: "an expert is someone who gets called in at the last minute to share/take the blame". You went in for the two defeats in Perak and Kedah, some people around me says it was a quick set up and somebody got you there Tun. So on this one, I think that Tun should just observe.
This blog is always and still is the best medium in my book.

It’s not what it used to be anymore Tun. Sadly, it is not anymore. We celebrated my grand mother's 88 Birthday recently. And I was sleepless for a couple of nights. Somehow over wanting her to take things easy a bit as she still takes the time to tend the shops/chores my grand father left her. Off course she won't listen to any of us. Now if I may be allowed to say the same to Tun. Please take things easy Tun. Good night Tun, please look after the flu and get well already. Thanks for reading my 2 cents.

I got the Eagles Desperado playing. Mellow. And I think UMNO could use this tune too now.

Dearest YAB dan Di Kasihi Tun,

I totally agree with Tun’s statement below:

“…but he has to resign from office if he fails to command the majority of the members in the House of Representatives”

But, not every minister “faham bahasa…”. Quite a number have “muka tembok – tak tahu malu.”

** May Allah SWT bless Tun & family **

Semua Hakim Mahkamah Rayuan berpendapat bahawa undi tidak percaya adalah satu pilihan dan bukannya mandatori.

Dato Seri Mohd Nizar telah hilang sokongan majoriti.

Motif beliau mengadap Sultan adalah untuk membubarkan DUN kerana telah hilang sokonga majoriti dan bukannya untuk pilihanraya 5 tahun sekali.(Mahkamah rayuan berpendapat Hakim Mahkamah Tinggi gagal membuat analsis tentang motif ini )

Dan bila sultan menolak, maka beliau hendaklah meletak jawatan.

Pelembagaan meletakkan perkataan "hendaklah". jika beliau tidak meletak jawatan ia perbuatan tidak berpelembagaan dan beliau melanggar pelembagaan.

Sultan Perak tidak memecat MB sebaliknya jawatan Dato Seri Nizar sama ada dengan rela atau tidak telah di anggap meletak jawatan mengikut kehendak pelembagaan.

Oleh kerana Dato Seri Mohd Nizar enggan letak jawatan maka beliau dianggap telah meletak jawatan mengikut pelembagaan.

Sebagai ketua negeri Sultan Perak hanya mengistiharkan jawatan MB dikosongkan.. seperti yang baginda lakukan.

Jadi tidak timbul bahawa Sultan Perak memecat MB.

Mungkin Tun ada rasa kurang senang dengan Sultan Perak ( bekas Lord President) selama ini maka secara sindiran kepada baginda maka Tun
menulis artikel ni.

Dear Tun, salam to you and your wife, and may Allah grant you good health, and for you to continue doing for the good of the nation and the people. Things have not got better since you step down.

Dear Tun and readers, whether the YDPA can dismiss a Prime Minister he appointed depends very much on whom you ask and the judge who has been given the task to hear and determine the matter.

It is clear that the YDPA appoints the Prime Minister who in his opinion/discretion commands the confidence of the members of the Lower House. Thus logically, a Member of Parliament associated to a registered political society would not want to invite the wrath of his party President by not giving his own President the confidence vote. It is a matter of common sense that since UMNO is the anchor party in the Barisan National, UMNO President is inevitably the person who commands the confidence of the majority of the members of the Lower House. As the Prime Minister appointed by the YDPA, the Prime Minister chooses his men from among his own party and the other coalition political parties. Here there is a lot of give and take who gets to be the Minister or the Deputy Minister or not at all. In this regard, YDPA would hardly intervene whom the PM chose to be in his cabinet so long as they collectively can do a good job for the nation and the people and may continue to hold the mandate to govern. If the YDPA wishes, he may simply erase from the list such person from attending and taking the requisite oath in the Istana.

Ministers may resign on their own accord or the YDPA may terminate them upon the PM’s advice. That matter is best left to the PM to control and to be in control of his men. Thus the uppermost concern of the YDPA is off course on the appointment of the PM not the Ministers. Power to appoint includes (implied) the right to fire too. PM is to some extent still a Minister too but so long as he holds the confidence of the majority members of the Lower House, his premiership is deemed safe. In Perak, the fact that Dato Seri Nizar requested for dissolution of DUN was an admission on his part that he no longer had the support of the majority of the members of DUN. This fact was fortified by the fact that 31 members of DUN were on Dato Zambry’s side while Pakatan had only 28 or 27 if the Speaker vote is discounted. So once a Prime Minister lost the confidence of the majority of the members of the Lower House, not necessarily in the Parliament, YDPA may dismiss him. No reason is required but is understood that a PM who lost the majority support of the members of the Lower House is not competent to lead the nation and a liability to the YDPA and the nation. I do not think it appropriate that the YDPA would in such a situation need the advice of the PM to dismiss the PM. The King is still the supreme head in the Federation and no other person precedes him. The King holds the Public Seal. The King too is at the pinnacle whether it be the Legislative, Judiciary or the Executive, and in many other matters. The bigger issue is whether YDPA may dismiss the PM who holds majority support of the members of the Lower House. Constitutionally, the answer, it is submitted, is still yes, but whether it is something wise for the King to do is a separate issue.

Dr Abdul Rani Bin Kamarudin

Dear Tun,

You are saying, LEGALLY the King cannot dismiss a Prime Minister. The King however, can have a Minister removed.

The King and the members of Cabinet MUST conform to the rule of the law. If the King and the cabinet does not comply to the rule of law - then can we expect the citizens to do the same?

So lets not talk about what is not legal (or law) as written in the constitution. Tun is very clear on this. It is also abundently clear what the situation is for all to see.

So the King, Cabinet Ministers, State Ministers, etc...trying to do thing outside the law MUST be pulled back to abide with the rule of law.

Alot of what PKR, MCA, DAP and even Umno leaders are doing are clearly slanting toward the fringes of the rule of law.

Perhaps the Police should set up a political enforcement branch. This will ensure that political activities that breaks the law or is slanting outside the law - will be given adequate advice on the application of the constitutional laws.

Perak debacle should never have happened if the enforcement branch played its part.

But as ever the Police must be impartial. The law must apply to all equally King, Ministers, Oppositions and all.

It is better to prevent then to cure. So it is better to stop these political terrorist at the onset by enforcement than letting it go to court - wasting court time, public money, frustration, public outcry, etc...

RULE OF LAW MUST RULE.

Dear Tun,

I am now 50 years old.

My perception of the judiciary now is that the top echelon including the CJ are a bunch of nincompoops.

Some of the decisions made by them are beyond comphrehension.
The Lina Joy, Shamala child custody cases and the latest on the Perak political crisis a just a few examples.

I am not certain this situation is because of intellectual deficiency or expedience.

Well at the most I can only sigh at the state of affairs.

I know there will not be any improvement (in the judicirary) in my liftetime and can only hope future generations will be spared a horrible judiciary.

Best Regards

GOOD GOVERNANCE (by Ali ibn Abi Talib) (UMNO & PAS SHOULD READ THIS)

Ali r.a. had written a comprehensive letter – articulating principles of public policy – for the guidance of the newly appointed Governor to Egypt, Maalik al Ashtar. In this fascinating directive, Ali r.a. advises the new governor that his administration will succeed only if he governs with concern for justice, equity, probity and the prosperity of all. There is a timeless applicability of this famous letter. Selected passages from the text are reproduced below:

Religious tolerance: Amongst your subjects there are two kinds of people: those who have the same religion as you [and] are brothers to you, and those who have religions other than yours, [who] are human beings like you. Men of either category suffer from the same weaknesses and disabilities that human beings are inclined to; they commit sins, indulge in vices either intentionally or foolishly and unintentionally without realising the enormity of their deeds. Let your mercy and compassion come to their rescue and help in the same way and to the same extent that you expect Allah to show mercy and forgiveness to you .

Equity is best: A policy which is based on equity will be largely appreciated. Remember that the displeasure of common men, the have-nots and the depressed persons, over-balances the approval of important persons, while the displeasure of a few big people will be excused… if the general public and the masses of your subjects are happy with you .

The rich:…are the people who will be the worst drag upon you during your moments of peace and happiness, and the least useful to you during your hours of need and adversity. They hate justice the most. They will keep demanding more and more out of State resources and will seldom be satisfied with what they receive and will never be obliged for the favour shown to them if their demands are justifiably refused.

On judiciary: You must select people of excellent character and high calibre with meritorious records . . . When they realise that they have committed a mistake in judgment, they should not insist on it by trying to justify it . . . They should not be corrupt, covetous or greedy . . . . These appointments must be made . . . without any kind of favouritism being shown or influence being accepted; otherwise tyranny, corruption and misrule will reign . . . Let the judiciary be above every kind of executive pressure or influence, above fear or favour, intrigue or corruption.

Poverty: If a country is prosperous and if its people are well-to-do, then it will happily and willingly bear any burden. The poverty of the people is the actual cause of the devastation and ruination of a country, and the main cause of the poverty of the people is the desire of its ruler and officers to amass wealth and possessions, whether by fair or foul means.

Corruption undermines national well-being: I want to advise you about your businessmen and industrialists. Treat them well . . . They are the sources of wealth to the country . . . One more thing . . . you must keep an eye over their activities as well. You know that they are usually stingy misers, intensely self-centered and selfish, suffering from the obsession of grasping and accumulating wealth. They often hoard their goods to get more profit out of them by creating scarcity and by indulging in black-marketing.

On communicating with people: You must take care not to cut yourself off from the public. Do not place a curtain of false prestige between you and those over whom you rule. Such pretension and shows of pomp and pride are in reality manifestations of an inferiority complex and of vanity. The result of such an attitude is that you remain ignorant of the conditions of your subjects and of the actual cases of the events occurring in the State.

Peace leads to prosperity: If your enemy invites you to a peace treaty . . . never refuse to accept such an offer, because peace will bring rest and comfort to your armies, will relieve you of anxieties and worries, and will bring prosperity and affluence to your people . . . Be very careful never to break your promise with your enemy; never forsake the protection or support that you have offered to him; never go back upon your word, and never violate the terms of the treaty.

This document, written centuries ago, reflects an astute understanding of the class structure of society – ages before class as a political construct was defined, analysed and elaborated upon. The underlying ethos of a welfare state is captured here: protecting the poor and the disadvantaged...

Salam Tun, happy Rejab

Quoted by AloQStaQ "Sayang Malaysia - SOKONGLAH KERAJAAN YANG ADA.
Benci Malaysia - CUBA-CUBALAH MENUKAR KERAJAAN, PASTI HANCUR.
Pilihan di tangan rakyat."

I dont agreed with ur statement. I'm a high tax payer and I have right to vote for the party which I like but it doesnt mean when we vote for opposition, the country will destroy nor we are country traitor... tis is nonsense... Our country is practicing Democracy, if we cant change the government, then just print voting paper with only Bee Ann logo to vote lah... wat so susah?

If u say some ppl in current governmnt,their pocket money hancur then i believe lah. No more project to Bee Ann and its konco-konco and tat's included the sons' of ex-Bee Ann ministers.

The power of USA is so great, changing of government administration would only make the country to grow stronger not destroy. When Democrat change to Republican then back to Democrat... etc.. Do we c US fall??

Dear Tun,

Apa ada pada nama? Once upon a time UMNO the champion of the people. So bila nama dah busuk adakah melayu mudah lupa? Persoalannya 3 tahun saperti Tun katakan tidak cukup masa nak wangikan nama yang dah busuk ni. Muhasabah lah mana-mana pemimpin yang rasa-rasa nama tercemar berundurlah atas kepentingan nama "UMNO"

Dear Tun..,

It seems like PM of Malaysia is more stronger than the President of USA. USA President will be question by the Senate if some of the policy or others want to implement. But in here we see our PM top of the top. All decision can make and no body can question it. So our King what actually his job. Is that only symbol/boneka or something else cause tough decision all in PM hand. Poorly my great2 grandfather not strong enough to become pirate then becoming ruler.

Salam Tun,

I just cannot stand Malaysia Prime Minister......
I just don't trust him.....
Why do you give your blessing to him?......
I'm just ordinary rakyat Malaysia......and I see something is not right with goverment, especially the Prime Minister...

Salam Tun - saya di lahirkan di Malaya, tetapi di besarkan di kota singa. Ini ibarat kudrat dan iradat yang tak dapat ia lari dari keadaan pada masa itu. Pelajaran atau ilmu itu baik untok di guna cara yang memberi feadah, akan tetapi ia akan jadi tak baik bila ia di salah gunakan/mengertikan.

Dalam ilmu itu sendiri tidak menjaminkan jawapan yang tepat (kena gunakan pengertian yang sangat dalam) dan maka itu kita kena lihat dengan jelas apakah sebenarnya masaalah yang timbul. Jawapan yang tidak tepat bersandarkan oleh yang bijak sana, mahu tidak mahu, kena belajar beradap.

Apa yang menyedihkan saya, kebanyakkan orang2 yang bermustakin di malaysia sudah lupa jasa datok moyang mereka (atau asak usul mereka) seperti jua lupa akan dari mana mereka mula datang ke-dunia ini. Saya tidak hairan kalau orang yang memilih cara ajaran bukan datang dari pengertian Islam buat angkara. Akan tetapi, kalau ia dari golongan yang berpegang kuat dari ajaran Islam, maka itu yang sangat2 merugikan.

Dunia ini ibarat surga bagi orang yang bukan Islam dan neraka bagi orang yang perpegang cara hidup Islam.

Maka, apa yang sedang belaku adalah tepat akan istilah ibarat surga dan neraka, kerna mereka ini tiada masa untok renungkan apa yang baik dan apa yang tidak baik untok mereka.

Pada mereka yang memilih surga di dunia ini - pikir2kan lah akan keburukan di masa yang mendatang dan pada mereka yang memilih neraka di dunia ini - buatlah sesuatu untok selamatkan atau sedarkanlah mereka2 ini yang mudah lupa (melayu mudah lupa).

Pengertian dalam Islam tidak menghalang untok maju, akan tetapi apakan makna maju?

Maju itu adalah sesuatu yang memberi faedah atau kebaikan kepada yang kurang maju dan maka itu sama2 lah kita fahamkan akan maksud 'maju' itu sendiri dan bukan cara apa yang mereka luak2kan dewasa ini. Sudah terpesong sangat tu.

Ini amat berbeza dengan temadung Islam itu sendiri.

Apa yang sedang belaku - jelas bahawa orang2 yang mengelar diri mereka Islam itu sebenarnya tidak paham apakan mereka ini di turunkan di dunia semata-mata untok bersenang-berkuasa untok buat apa saja yang mereka pikirkan itu betul.

Pelajaran itu perlu akan tetapi ia harus ada unsur2/ ciri2 yang memberi faedah kepada sekelian mahluk yang ada di dunia ini. Bukan ijazah yang menjadikan se-saorang itu berjaya atau maju, kerna ilmu yang baik itu memilih jalan yang memberi faedah kepada semua mahluk yang di gelar manusia.

Ilmu yang nipis itu tidak dapat menentukan jalan hidup yang ada jaminam, mahupun di dunia atau di ahirat.

Maka itu buatlah sesuatu yang berguna untok terus kekal hingga anak cucu cicit seterusnya.

Soal yang berkuasa itu ' ibarat berpegang pada kayu mimbar ' sekuat-kuat yang boleh kerna ia adalah amanah bukan untok melayu akan tetapi kepada semua bangsa yang bermustakin di Malaysia, kerna yang berkuasa yang memberi kebenaran kepada yang bukan melayu dudok atau bermustakin bersama-sama di-Malaysia.

Kepada yang di beri kebenaran bermustakin itu jua perlu patuh kepada yang berjasa kerna tanpa jasa2 (yang berkuasa masa dahulu) tidak lah mereka2 ini dapat bermustakin di sini.

Hidupan cara peribahasa melayu - di mana bumi kita pijak, di situlah langit kita junjung.

Ini yang banyak buat mereka2 ini mudah lupa akan asal usul mereka bersebabkan kurang beradap.

Wasalam dan pikir2kan.

SALAM BAHAGIA TUN,

1. SAYA AMAT SETUJU DENGAN ULASAN SUJINI YANG KESAL DENGAN KERAJAAN YANG ADA SEKARANG. MANA PERGINYA KEISTIMEWAAN ORANG MELAYU DI BUMI MALAYSIA INI.

SAYA RASA TUN TAK BOLEH BUAT BERGITU, YANG SALAH HARUS DIPERBETULKAN DAN YANG BENAR DITEGAKKAN. JANGANLAH SAMPAI KALI INI NAJIB DIGULINGKAN BUKAN OLEH ORANG UMNNO TETAPI PR.

3. BAGI SAYA KALAU MACAM TU BAGUS LAGI PAKLAH, PAKLAH TAK SAMPAI NAK KETEPIKAN ORANG MELAYU. 1MALAYSIA NAMAPAKNYA MAKAN DIRI SENDIRI.

4. NAMPAK JELAS SEKARANG, KERAJAAN BUAT SESUATU UNTUK MENGEMBIRAKAN ORANG BUKAN MELAYU DI MALAYSIA INI. KERAJAAN YANG ADA SEKARANG NAMPAKNYA BERMAIN POLITIK SUPAYA ORANG BUKAN MELAYU AKAN MEMBERI UNDI KEPADA BN.

5. TAPI PERCAYALAH, ORANG INI AKAN TETAP MENGUNDI BUKAN BN KERANA MEREKA TAHU BAHAWA DIMANA-MANA MEREKA AKAN DAPAT FAEDAHNYA. TAPI ORANG MELAYU TETAP SETIA KEPADA KERAJAAN, INILAH YANG KERAJAAN PATUT JAGA, BERI PERHATIAN SUPAYA TIDAK BERALIH UNDI .

6. SAYA HARAP PENGULAS BLOG INI AGAR MENYUARAKAN PERASAAN ANDA KEPADA KERAJAAN YANG ADA SEKARANG KERANA NAMPAKNYA LEBIH KEPADA TO PLEASE ORANG BUKAN MELAYU. NAMPAKNYA KERAJAAN YANG ADA SEKARANG TAKUT KEPADA TEKANAN DARI BUKAN MELAYU.

7. SAYA BUKAN ANTI BUKAN MELAYU TAPI, JANGAN SAMPAI ORANG MELAYU TERKORBAN , TANPA TERBELA DAN TURUN KE JALAN RAYA UNTUK TUNJUK PERASAAN TIDAK PUAS HATI KEPADA KERAJAAN NAJIB.

8. SUARA ORANG MELAYU NAMPAKNYA TIDAK DIDENGAR DALAM SESUATU ISU..TAPI JANGAN INGAT ORANG MELAYU LUPA, APABILA MEREKA HILANG SABAR, MEREKA AKAN MENETANG KERAJAAN YANG SEDIA ADA.

SEKAIN, TERIMA KASIH, IKHLAS DARI SAYA

salam TUN

SElama saya menjadi pelajar,tak pernah saya faham tentang fungsi kuasa sultan/ raja.hanya pada saya merekalah yg paling BERKUASA dari PM.angapan saya ialah MALAYSIA MILIK RAJA,manakala kerajaan hanya badan yg menjalankan tugas MENTADBIR negara.dan institusi raja MEMANTAU kerajaan yg memerintah.
setelah PERISTIWA HINA yg berlaku di perak,barulah saya memahami fungsi sultan.dulu org kata rakyat tak boleh ckp pasal sultan terutama yg menghina sultan.tapi KEJADIAN di perak membuatkan saya merasa sultan tidak lagi MENAKUTKAN.penghinaan oleh nizar*** dan sekutunya yang terus2an memaksa sultan memBUBARkan DUN tiada langsung menerima tindakan atau paling tidak amaran oleh institusi sultan.MALAH ada segolongan orang ISLAM pun tdak hormat pada institusi beraja yg selama ini telah MENJADIKAN kaum melayu adalah TUAN PUNYA TANAH MELAYU.hairan2.
walaupun saya bukan melayu,tapi saya sangat MENSYUKURI ketuanan melayu kerana,jika TIDAK KERNANYA mungkin tak sempat 50tahum negara merdeka,malaysia sudah di perintah oleh bangsa bukan bumiputera.
MALAYSIA IS MALAYSIAN adalah perjuanga DAP yg membuatkan ramai kaum bukan bumiputera BERPALING TADAH dari BN.DAP juga mahu ketuanan melayu di hapuskan.JELAS sekali ini telah melanggar perlembagaan/ peraturan negara.tapi tiada tindakan di ambil.1 MALAYSIA terus di laungkan oleh ds najib.tapi saya tetap merasakan bahwa nonbumi tetap menyokong MALAYSIA IS MALAYSIAN.
selamaUMNO memerintah,tak pernah UMNO menidakan hak nonbumi.malah bila nonbumi nak bina sekolah kaum sendiri pun UMNO bagi.HANYA KERANA satu sebab sahaja iaitu TOLERANSI.jadi sekarang,jika nonbumi anggap keadaan mereka sekarang tak cukup memuaskan,mungkin sudah tiba masa UMNO atau ada PARTI BARU yg berjuang untuk bumiputera dengan perjuangan yg TIADA LAGI TOLERANSI;

1.tanah milik bumiputera hanya boleh dijual kepada bumiputera shj
2.hanya bumiputera sahaja boleh menjadi wakil rakyat dan mengundi
3.membina pekan2 di kependudukan orang bumiputera.hanya bumiputer sahaja boleh berniaga.
4.hukuman undang2 keatas nonbumi lebih tinggi drpd bumiputera
5.dsb
APAPUN,saya berharap MALAYSIA IS MALAYSIAN tak berjaya.pada saya ia hanya membawa kepada keadaan TIDAK AMAN untuk negara.malah DAP akan menjadi parti yg membawa sial kepada peniaga.BAYANGKAN lah, suatu hari,ada pula pihak menubuhkan parti sepeti di atas,sudah tentu semua pihak rugi.malah negara SUDAH TAK NORMAL.

KEPADA nonbumi terutama sekali KAUM CINA,pemerintahan BN LEBIH MEMBAWA KEUNTUNGAN UNTUK KAMU.SELAMA 50tahun BN memerintah/pekan semua dah maju.hinggakan KEKAYAAN kaum kamu talah MENGUGAT IMAN dan PERPADUAN orang melayu.bila dah maju sebegini rupa senang2 u orang buang jasa BN.mcmana kalau UMNO bantu orang bumiputera bina pekan sendiri?

1 MALAYSIA untuk yg bersyukur
MALAYSIA IS MALAYSIAN hanya untuk rakyat yg tdak cintakan keamanan,tidak bersyukur.
MARILAH NONBUMI,KITA TERUS MAJU KE DEPAN.JANGAN LAYAN POLITIK yg TIDAK MENJANJIKAN KEUNTUNGAN............

Selamat pagi Ayahanda,

Izinkan...

//By antikmalaya on June 30, 2009 1:00 PM

My view is, change the Constitution then.//

Dear antikmalaya,

The Constitution cannot be changed, and Malaysia has been lead under this Constitution for more than 50 years now.

You see, this Constitution is the most UNIQUE Monarchy Authority in the world and Malaysia MUST REMAIN IT AT ALL COST.

And my view is, change the "person" (the bad apple) who administered the country appointed by our AGONG who has caused DISPLEASURE behind the AGONG and the Country.

However, UMNO is very important and must be remained too as the major party to lead Malaysia. I should say UMNO became corrupted due to MELAYU MUDAH LUPA, and who are they, WE KNOW!!!!! Thus, base on my understanding as a RAKYAT, I telah "berikrar mesti taat" to our RUKUN NEGARA ke-2, KESTIAAN KEPADA RAJA dan NEGARA, thus if I find that UMNO/BN is no good, then I will vote the Opposition Party, that is my hak as rakyat.

But as rakyat, I know that UMNO is very important for Malaysia DEVELOPMENT and must be kekal because I do not want Malaysia to be the victim of blind Capitalism. If I have the AUTHORITY as the MAJOR SHAREHOLDER (NEP policy is VERY IMPORTANT), I will change the PERSON who cause me DISPLEASURE, that is my Hak as the MAJOR SHAREHOLDER in my COMPANY.

Take care, antikmalaya. Kita mahu kekal tradisi dan juga kita mesti adapt to the world in order to live, I am sure our Agong will understand the meaning here and he is WISE and EDUCATED WITH HEART. And I believe our Agong knows Tun Dr M's style.

Good day Ayahanda Tun.

ingatlah, Firman Allah;

Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum (bangsa) melainkan kaum itu sendiri mengubah nasibnya”
Maksud Surah Ar-Ra’d ayat 11

Tidak salah langsung utk berjuang utk bangsa/kaum melayu yang nasibnya seolah2 terumbang ambing. Lagi lah mulia, Melayu di Malaysia meletakkan Agama Islam itu sendiri di tempat tertinggi! Dalam perlembagaan, Melayu mestilah berketurunan melayu dan beragama ISLAM. apabila seseorang itu Murtad, maka hilanglah keistimewaan melayu yang beliau ada di negara ini!

Sedarlah wahai nik aziz dan org2 pas.. Pepercahan org melayu datangnya dari Anwar dan kamu sekalian. Kerana diri sendiri yang inginkan kuasa, apa sahaja yang boleh menjatuhkan UMNO dan BN walaupun salah disisi Islam, adalah Halal utk mereka.. Jelaslah, mereka ini sume perlu bertaubat. Sesungguhnya, Allah maha pemurah lagi maha pengampun

may the good elements of OneInfinityUniverseGod invite best health to you, to your family & to your home.

to BN supporters... dont be so proud of BN. once upon a time i used to be BN supporter too. when BN corruption evoluting to worst, i used to say to my friends 'good government have bad people & bad government have good people'. why wanna go through so much trouble to change the government? when the government gone bad. best option is to change it bad people rather than change the government which whould be very much more troublesome. but i'm wrong! now, i realise it is actually the system that is causing the bad.

during Tun time Tun's art of balancing the WHOLE Nation is good, but it is impossible to do it without flaw. after Tun left, the system in Government have evolute according to AB & Najib action & it heading to reach the point of no return. there are so MANY clear cut curruption, big & small, happening everywhere which nobody can do anything about it. we all know a few of our minister that are so rich terang2 diverting the rakyat money but yet they can still live in peace now & we rakyat have to just swollow it even we are very not satisfied. we got no choice, we're force to live with it & wait patiently for pru 13 unforgivingly.

if you want a healthy country with minimin corruption, for once please get a few of those terang2 corrupted & throw them in jail & make sure they rot in jail forever. get those top 3. do it. for the sake of healthy malaysia, for once do it.

Salam TUN & Warge Blog

1.ape yg dilihat adalah satu proses utk mewujudkan republik mengumpulkan fakta serta hujah utk menafikan YDP Agong & Raja-Raja Melayu.

2. Isu mencalarkan imej kesultanan & Raja sedang berlaku yg hangat ia "manohara" tapi saye rase takde org lain melainkan seorang bernama Anuwar, beliau mempunyai akses kepada media dunia.

3.Umno melalui Najib perlu lebih Tegas serta Pantas dan Tuntas Menggubal,Merancang, Melaksanakan sesuatu dasar serta tidak mempolitikan sesuatu yg telah dirancang oleh Think Tank Persekutuan Malaysia.

4.melakukan pembersihan serta merombak dasar-dasar Umno, yg paling penting beliau perlu membenarkan kesemua Ahli Umno boleh mengundi calon2 pilihan mereka, dengan ini gejala rasuah dpt dikurangkan, nak hilang semua memang perlu ambik mase.

Saya harap Tun sekeluarga dalam keadaan sihat hendaknya.

Saya amat tertarik dengan topik Perlembagaan atau 'Constitution' ni,sebenarnya Tun rakyat malaysia seharusnya tahu akan pekara ini bukan hanya dengan percaya kata-kata individu tertentu.Setiap rakyat malaysia harus ada bahan ilmiah di tangan untuk rujukan,dengan apa yang Tun dedahkan ianya ada termaktub di dalam buku perlembagaan persekutuan.jika rakyat malaysia membaca akan buku tersebut nescaya terbuka minda.Bangsa melayu amat percaya kata-kata orang dari membaca bahan yang ada,itulah resam melayu kalau salah akan terus disangka salah tanpa usul periksa dahulu.Kalau ianya betul akan disangka betul sehabisnya,walaupun sememangnya pekara itu telah terbukti salah.
Tun inilah bangsa kita melayu sekarang,mudah lupa dan tidak ingin membina pengetahuan.
Pada bangsa ku sedarlah dapatkan naskhah perlembagaan persekutuan dengan modal ilmu dengan hanya rm10 sahaja.
Terima kasih.

Y. Bhg Tun,
The King has no power to dismiss the PM. But if the PM does not command majority in parliment he should resign. That is the convention so that a leader with support of a majority would be call to form a government. That is why the King is not given the power to dismiss the PM (thats my logical argument). The problem arises when PM/CM/MB who lost support of the majoity but not willing to resign and let the constitutional head to appoint someone else to form a government. Politician should morally adide by the democratic convention rather than trying to interprate laws according to his liking.
May Allah bless you Tun.

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat. Kiriman untuk tajuk ini....

..............MAKAN DIRI
Pada yg menegak dan melindung cara BN memegang kuasa dgn mengguna nama Sultan, menerima katak selekeh, guna kuasa hakim era 'correct correct correct', salahguna pihak penguatkuasa melakukan kekerasan, ingat ia boleh makan diri.

Bila terkena jgn pula kata Raja boleh disanggah dan buat mcm mrk skrg yg konon tak sedar diri, mudah lupa, si Tanggang dll...

..............RANSOM GOVT
Walau akhirnya BN berjaya mengguna Sultan, memilih hakim, mengarah penguatkuasa untuk terus memerintah, krjn mrk mcm telur hujung tanduk. Kalau krjn Pakatan dikata boneka DAP, krjn BN lagi dasyat jadi boneka tiga Adun bebas yg maruah jijik.

Dua Adun katak hanyir dgn tuduhan rasuah dan politik wang, satu dituduh pembohong dan tak berani jenguk kawasan diwakili. Setiap usul BN, MB perlu sembah satu dari tiga katak ini baru boleh lulus. Krjn apa ini! Inikah krjn yg BN berjuang mati matian?

Saya hormat pembangkang yg rela pengundian semula walau pun krjn diberi balik pada mrk dulu dari BN yg mahu bertapak dgn terpaksa sentiasa menyembah kalau satu Adun merajuk!

...............VETO POWER
Setiap Adun krjn BN ada kuasa veto. Satu merajuk, usul mrk tumpas. Setiap usul terpaksa berlutut depan Hee dan dua ex Umno rejects. Kalau tidak Zambry menganggur. Lihat integriti Adun BN:

Bebas - 3 katak selekeh, kewibawaan dan maruah disoal. Dua ialah warisan katak (dari Umno), satu lagi bak si kudung dapat cincin (DAP) Mrk pegang kuasa besar jadi undi penentu DUN.
MCA - ada sejarah ulang alik DAP-MCA-Gerakan
Umno - pembekal utama 'katak lompat' dan 'watak rasuah' pada PKR

Boleh harapkan 31 Adun ini tak seekor dua cuba mengada ngada? Buat apa nak krjn mcm ini?

...............ULTERIOR MOTIVE
Mungkin memang tujuan BN mahu kucar kacir berlarutan seberapa lama boleh. Mrk tidak mahu beri pembangkang peluang tunjuk kebolehan mentadbir. Tapi mainan politik mrk menyeksa negeri dan rakyat!

...............SIAPA MAJORITI?
Pada yg kata BN parti majoriti dan layak berkuasa banding PR yg bukan sebuah parti berdaftar, baca perlembagaan! Majoriti yg disebut ialah ahli dewan bukan parti mrk. Majoriti kira ikut jumlah ahli bukan parti.

Kalau pembangkang semua calun bebas, mrk boleh pilih seorang jadi MB kalau mrk mengundi sebagai majoriti! Hanya hakim tambatan boleh terbalikkan tulisan yg jelas ini, tanpa memberi sebab!

Salam hormat Ayahnda,
Orang Penang kata "Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu" nak kemana politik orang Melayu...minta maaf cakap senario politik sekarang ni angkara Tun Lah dan DSAI bukan? Orang mana?Sudah2lah tu,yg mnjadi mangsa seluruh rakyat M'sia yg semakin "melayu" dan longlai,x sedar lagi ke siapa yg telah bertapak gagah dibumi pak penjajah gelar "Pearl of the Orient".Baru2 ini maruah kita seolah2 ditemplak dgn lawatan LKY, tak sedar lagi ke apa mesej yg hendak disebarkan.
Kesian kesian nasi sudah menjadi bubur, impian kita dah hampir terkubur!Siapa pembela bangsa dan siapa penderhaka negara? Orang kita dah semakin keliru,haru biru,masih ada masa dan peluang untuk pulih lagi ke? Allahwaalam.Sama2lah kita renungkan.
Wassalam Tun berdua.

Dear Tun, salam sejahtera harap sihat. Kiriman saya untuk tajuk ini dan pandangan yg tersiar.....

..................EAT YOUR WORDS

The state constitutions mirror the federal constitution. To those who label as traitors opponents of Perak dismissal, either eat your words or follow through and label Tun’s article seditious, treason. Minta buang negeri, tarik kerakyatan dll ??

..................PEOPLE POWER AND ROYAL POWER

The peoples power and the constitution is being hijacked by judgements which confer powers into grey areas (King not assembly will determine loss of confidence, King not assembly’s decision to dismiss) and take out clear powers (of the assembly).

It frustrates the very core of constitutional monarchy (not absolute monarchy) and parliamentary democracy (peoples right not Royal ruling). In a constitutional monarchy, it is the written constitution that is SUPREME not any single person.

..................SANCTITY OF CONSTITUTION

In the interpretation of the constitution, utmost care must be taken NOT TO INSERT WHAT IS NOT THERE, REMOVE WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY THERE (constitutional principle).

If the constitution does not allow a King’s dismissal of the PM, it is strictly that. Don’t read anything extra or try to interpret the clause. The resulting impasse of competing claims should be resolved by political/peoples will, not ‘conferred’ Royal prerogative.

It is a dangerous and double edge precedent to allow state business (determine loss of confidence) to be conducted in a hush hush Royal court not an open peoples assembly.

A constitution should be sanctimonious. There should not be adventurism, extrapolation, extraneous interpretation. Read what the words say and don’t twist and turn.

..................MEMBALAS KOMEN

>> Komen bahawa Raja maha berkuasa dan segala galanya.

Sebab Raja segala galanya, M’sia tergadai pada British. The commenter’s name resembles his views. ‘Antik’ is BM for obsolete? ‘Malaya’ no longer exists. When the constitution was drafted, it was with the express intention that M’sia does not go back to the old feudal Sultanate system of absolute monarchy.

Parliamentary democracy (power by the people) and constitutional monarchy (Ruler bound by constitution) are what describes our system of govt. Rajin sikit baca sejarah jgn pakai ingatan yg bila tahap antik, agak semput.

>>Another view, King is the highest symbol of the country, has absolute authority and power.

Either he was not there when constitution drafted or reading pre war materials. The constitution is the SUPREME authority of the land. All other institutions (monarchy, executive, legislative, judiciary) must uphold the constitution via a check and balance system. The king is bound to uphold the constitution.

The commenter went much further than our frolicking judges to give even wider Royal powers thru the same extraneous reading of the constitution.

Rukunnegara ke 3, 'Keluhuran Perlembagaan (Upholding the Constitution)' bukan Membongkar Perlembagaan (Uplifting the Constitution)

Dear Ayahanda Tun,

In one of your ceramah that I went and listened right up to the end, stll fresh within me some words uttered by you:

"Kalau Raja boleh lantik semua orang jadi Menteri Besar, tak payahlah adakan pilihanraya, buang duit aja..."

So now you just reaffirmed it by this article.

Assalammualaikum Tok Det,

Diringkaskan disini apa yang saya fahami berhubung Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan di Malaysia. Sila betulkan saya jika tersilap.

SISTEM RAJA BERPERLEMBAGAAN.

Ringkasnya Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan ini dicedok bulat-bulat dari Negara British. Satu Revolusi Rakyat telah memaksa Raja British menerima sistem ini. Raja British bersetuju kerana takut mereka akan menerima nasib yang sama seperti Revolusi Perancis dan Bolshevik-Russia yang mana keseluruhan keturunan Raja/Tsar dibunuh tanpa belas dan institusi beraja dihapuskan sama sekali. Bermula dari peristiwa inilah kuasa penjajah British mula lemah dan tanah jajahan British diseluruh dunia merdeka satu persatu.

Di Malaysia Penjajah British pada mulanya cuba memperkenalkan Malayan Union di mana antara agenda utama menghadkan kuasa Raja-Raja Melayu dan menghapuskan keistimewaan orang Melayu bagi menjaga kepentingan British di Tanah Melayu. Pada masa ini Singapura sepatutnya adalah sebahagian dari Persekutuan Tanah Melayu. Orang-orang Melayu telah bersatu bangkit menentang Malayan Union. Rentetan peristiwa ini lahirnya UMNO. Britih kemudian memperkenalkan Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan di Persekutuan Tanah Melayu yang telahpun berjaya dipraktikkan di British. Peristiwa ini kemudian merintis kepada proses kemerdekaan Persekutuan Tanah Melayu pada 1957.

ANALISIS RINGKAS:-

1. Jika orang Melayu menentang Malayan Union hanya untuk mempertahankan Keistimewaan Orang Melayu sahaja maka sistem feudal Raja Melayu akan tinggal sejarah.

2. Tetapi Orang Melayu ketika itu tidak dipengaruhi oleh revolusi-revolusi yang berlaku diluar negara. Pada ketika itu sistem feudal beraja sedang dihapuskan satu persatu oleh Kuasa Rakyat.

3. Hanya Golongan Bangsawan Melayu yang terdedah kepada dunia luar kerana dengan kekayaan mereka membolehkan mereka pergi ke luar negara menuntut ilmu dan mendapat maklumat. Golongan Bangsawan Melayu ini menaja pembentukan UMNO dan berjaya menyatukan orang Melayu menentang Malayan Union dan kemudiannya merintis jalan ke arah kemerdekaan dengan penerimaan Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan.

4. Melalui Sistem Raja Berperlembagaan kepentingan (kuasa dan kekayaan) Golongan Bangsawan Melayu ini tidak akan tergugat dan kuasa pemerintahan yang dipegang oleh Penjajah British akan berpindah ke dalam kekuasaan mereka.

5. Raja-raja Melayu menerima cadangan Golongan Bangsawan Melayu ini kerana kepentingan mereka juga akan terpelihara dan bebas daripada ancaman Revolusi Rakyat yang boleh melenyapkan terus Raja Melayu.

KESIMPULAN:-

1. Golongan Bangsawan Melayu (UMNO) pada ketika itu bijak dalam memimpin kebangkitan rakyat. Pada yang sama mereka juga bijak menjaga kepentigan Raja-Raja Melayu.

2. Tetapi agenda paling utama mereka ialah dapat memelihara kepentingan mereka kerana kuasa pemerintahan British akan berpindah ke tangan mereka selepas Merdeka.

3. Kini sebahagian Orang Melayu sudah mula merasakan Sistem Raja Berperlembangan hanya menjaga kepentingan Golongan Bangsawan Melayu dan Raja Melayu sahaja. Manakala Orang Melayu Kebanyakkan tidak mendapat pembelaan dan terus diabaikan.

PERSOALAN DALAM MINDA ORANG MELAYU:-

APA SUDAH JADI DENGAN KEPENTIGAN ORANG MELAYU?

UMNO SEPATUTNYA MENJAGA KEPENTINGAN ORANG MELAYU?

UMNO SEPATUTNYA MEMPERTAHANKAN KEISTIMEWAAN ORANG MELAYU!

UMNO SEPATUTNYA MENGANGKAT MARTABAT UMAT MELAYU!

KENAPA ORANG MELAYU MASIH MUNDUR?

KENAPA MELAYU MISKIN SEMAKIN MISKIN?

KENAPA MELAYU KAYA SEMAKIN KAYA?

UMNO akan dihukum oleh Orang Melayu jika tidak berubah. Orang Melayu semakin terasa ditipu dan bosan dengan sikap UMNO. Apabila ini terjadi Institusi Raja Melayu juga akan terancam.

Berubah sebelum terlambat. UMNO mesti berubah atau REBAH!!!

Salam sejahtera Tun. I have something to share with Tun about my recent cab ride to the airport in Sydney.

I took the cab from my home here and my cab driver was a Ghana-ian. Interesting man as he talked to me about Malaysia and especially you Tun.

http://manifestogwl.blogspot.com/2009/06/dr-mahathir-in-eyes-of-ghanaian.html

I have heard time after time from international figures and plain commoners about Malaysia and Tun is the next thing they talk about.

With that, I surely hope Tun can be a Tourism Ambassador instead of a RM 1 mil Jean Todt.

My regards and best wishes to you Tun, and Tun Dr Siti.

Tun,

I think many learned judges in Malaysia will understand that the Federal Constitution of Malaysia does not empower the Yang Dipertuan Agong to dismiss a Prime Minister. Likewise, the three judges who heard the case of Nizar vs. Zambry at the Court of Appeal must also realize that the Sultan of Perak should not be given too much discretionary power to sack a Menteri Besar at the pleasure of the Sultan since too much power in the hand of the Sultan might then jeopardise the system of Constitutional Monarchy mingled with Assembly Democracy.

It is crystal clear that in the event of a Menteri Besar losing the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblypersons, then the Menteri Besar will have to automatically vacate the seat of the Menteri Besar. No dismissal or sacking from the part of Sultan shall be required because it is legally unnecessary for the Sultan to sack a Menteri Besar. The State Constitution will sack the Menteri Besar automatically by the immediate effect of constitutional enforcement at the point of time when it has already been determined that the incumbent Menteri Besar has lost the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblypersons.

However, what is the dispute in Perak Fiasco then if the Sultan is not supposed to sack Nizar from the post of Menteri Besar?

I think the major dispute mainly lies in the method of determining whether a Menteri Besar has already lost the confidence of majority members of the State Legislative Assembly. In Perak fiasco, Sultan Azlan Shah was using some kind of method which was very similar to a Company Directors' circular resolution in order to secure and obtain the majority signatures from BN State Assemblypersons and from another three Pro-BN independent State Assemblypersons.

In the verdict written by the Kuala Lumpur High Court judge, it was mentioned that the State Assembly session should be convened in order to allow casting of votes either in favour of or against a motion which is to be tabled in the meeting session for determining whether Nizar still commands confidence of the majority of the State Assemblypersons. The voting procedure in the state assembly proceeding will be a straight-forward and clear-cut method to determine whether an existing Menteri Besar (MB) still commands the confidence of the majority of the State Assemblypersons. Nevertheless, in a realistic situation such a confidence-determining voting motion may not be easy to be tabled because the incumbent Assembly Speaker who is friendly to the incumbent MB may not allow tabling of such a motion during the state assembly proceeding.

Of course the method of circular resolution being signed by majority of the State Assemblypersons, as practised by the Sultan of Perak in Perak Fiasco, is quite an efficient method for determining whether the incumbent MB still commands the confidence of majority of the State Assemblypersons. However, there are some risks involved in the process of preparing such a circular resolution, such as the risk of having a seriously ill monarch who is not able to exercise a reasonable level of personal judgement and the risk of having a prejudiced and self-interested monarch who is taking the advantage of any politician who comes approach His Royal Highness by asking for some timber concessions or some land grants.

The critical question now is as follows:

"Do the Malaysian people want to take the risk of losing the political independence to the monarch, especially when the top politician of Malaysia has always been allowed the discretion to exercise his Executive Power that has been given by the Constitution without much intervention and interference from the monarch?"

looks like at the end of the day it is determined by the constitution.
now, not that i like the king to have that power, but how and who can amend the constitution?
and coming to the 21st century, which part of the constitution do you think is outdated?
are there any new additions which can be made to the constitution?

Assalamualikum Ayahnda Tun n Bonda,

Please allow me,

OUR CONSTITUTION SHOULD NOT BE JUGGLED...

It's something typical of the opposition parties who always like to condemn everything even legislatively right decision of the court ruling when they cannot get things their way. The word 'humility' is lost from their mind and heart.

The sentimen is high and we hope that when time comes the truth will prevail. Many people have been ripped off their logic and often wondered round and round the same bluff because they failed to utilize their senses as rightly as Allah has granted them. With word like 'democracy' being mocked by politicians, hypocrisy and iniquity become their daily diet.

Politicians are supposed to unite people but they are the ones who ripped unity apart. Shame on Malay/Muslim politicians who could not bring themselves together to help the Malays to become stronger. In all aspects - politics, economy and social - the Malays are falling behind. Thinking that they are strong, the Malays in many political parties are actually tainted with greed, superficial power and lackadaisical attitudes...they are only interested in personal gains, nothing more, nothing less...it's a kind of destructive attitude which I have heard some where some time ago, 'If I shoot up, I shoot alone, if I go down, I will bring everybody else with me'...

Muslims worship the one and only God - ALLAH The AlMighty - but politically self-appointed Muslim 'Ulama' or scholars never walk their talk. They seem to breach the teachings of Islam, their own principles and philosophy. A cliche - they ask their followers to come together but on the other hand they decline others outside their clans who wish to see unity among Malays.

Dearest Ayahnda Tun,

It's very crucial for our leaders to see that our rights are protected. I have no hatred towards other races in Malaysia especially when I have befriended many good and kindhearted non-Malays during my schooling and now in my work. However, the Malays should know by now that our unity has been badly shaken by notorious politicians and also because of our own inability to balance our priorities. Education, health and economy of the Malays must always be taken care of before anything else. We can just hope....

May Allah bless you Ayahnda Tun n Bonda; and all the guests here...

Wassalam.

just my brain wave...

Though the King cannot dismiss the Prime Minister yet I think His sovereignty still stands, as is the power of the PM.

What my concern is though is whether our King has enough statue and influence given that he is rotated among eight others every five years. But I think so far His Majesty is doing alright.

THIS IS THE VERY REASON I SIGNED INTO THIS BLOG IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE. YOU MIGHT HAVE READ THIS, BUT FOR EMPHASIS REASONS IT'S GOOD TO READ IT AGAIN. I HOPE ALSO THAT FELLOW COMMENTERS HERE AND MALAYSIANS IN GENERAL WILL ALSO SUPPORT AND ECHO MY SENTIMENTS.

LEGACY AND LEGENDS: HOW GREAT IS GREAT?
In case you missed it the first time...

Imagine if all the greatest people since the dawn of time were ranked from first to last; where would you stand?

GO THE DISTANCE
In Malaysia you are great beyond; none higher. However on the international front you fallen short. Please compare the overwhelming support and outpouring adoration of Malaysian with other countries. Some probably just know your name, full stop. You have to reach out to all the people of the world the same extent to which you did to Malaysian, like for as if you were President of the United States or even leader of the entire world. You must do more. Unlike others you have 8 mantles and you are active on international issues; slightly better than the average Asian strongman. You are very close. Separate yourself from the pack and go the distance.

TOO MANY AT ONCE
Already in this very split second of a moment in time, there is Nelson Mandela, Margaret Thatcher, Yasser Arafat, Mother Teresa, Lee Kuan Yew, and many others. Not to mention also living legend from other fields such as Bill Gates, Marlon Brando, Princess Diana, Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe just to name a few. What more in a 100 years and forget a thousand; the list is endless!

WORLD-FAMOUS (not just Asia)
You are not to be famous and statesman-ly mere in Asia or the Islamic world or any region. You are to be a statesman and legend to the world. You are not to go from Malaysia to Asia or worse still from Asia to Asia. You are to go FROM Asia, TO the world. TO the world!

FROM…..ASIA TO………..the WORLD!

…An Asian statesman (or European or African or Latin or whatever) simply because you herald from Asia; but INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED.

Too many names from Time Magazine’s 60 years of Asian Heroes did not make it into Time Magazine’s 100 greatest people of the 20th Century. Why? ...Obviously because they were not great enough. Their greatness was only enough to lift them to an Asian level, but not the world. I hope you are not one of them.

Besides, there are already too many strongmen in Asia. Almost every country in Asia and even Africa has at least some sort of strongman. There is no more significance; nothing special anymore.

LUCKY LEE
Speaking of Asia Lee Kuan Yew is lucky. Singapore is in a unique position in the world as it stands out as one of the very few (if not the only) island city states. Moreover, Singapore uniquely sits at this historically famous aast-west entrepot crossroad, further cementing is name as a modern, prosperous economic, financial and business hub of which on it lies the world-famous world No 1 port (and also airport). That’s how Lee Kuan Yew became a household name...because of Singapore.

By right looking closely Lee Kuan Yew’s influence was only up to an Asian level. He hardly stood higher or spoke louder than others on the international front. I do not recall Lee Kuan Yew introducing any particular policy, program or mega project that specifically added towards Singapore’s growth and improvement. He merely oversaw Singapore’s natural transformation into a Tiger economic from what was already - given Singapore’s easy small size, strategic position and urban population – an outrightly foregone potential in a then already well established and developed capital of the Straits Settlement. Lee Kuan Yew simply sat through the job.

SO CLOSE YET SO FAR
There is nothing worse than to be so close yet so far. Losing doesn’t compare. Rather be out of the running than to be a close second separated by the second (or millimeter or any smallest measurement). There’s no place but first place.

Even the Bible makes a reference to this by saying it is better to be cold if not hot rather than being lukewarm, going further to say that Jesus will spit these ‘lukewarmers’ out of his mouth.

WHO KNOWS
I’m not sure as to whether the great leaders of the past are as great as people claim them to be. Let me air my doubts as to why.

In saying past I mean dinosaurs like Jesus Christ (and other religious figures), Plato (and the rest of the philosophers), Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Shi Huang Ti, Asoka, Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Victoria, Caesar, some Pharoah and the likes. The list also includes musicians and scientists like Beethoven and Newton among others.

Firstly I doubt because mostly of these figures are held highly by the west. Perhaps something about the west and how they perceive make them like these people over others.

Secondly, no one particularly those today would possibly know what these so-called legends actually did or accomplished and therefore no one would know exactly how great they really were.

The people today rely on (historical) written, handed-down records to judge these people. There was no film footage or even photographs. And there is only so much a record can tell. We can’t visually even to the closest of extents the true situation of their chronicles. We can only imagine based on what was written. And no ones know whether that which was written is true. All these are mere assumptions.

Genghis Khan might merely be a Jaguh Kampung. Alexander the Great might not be so great after all. His influence might only extent to part of Europe here and there. We wouldn’t know.

Their greatness can easily be spun upwards (or downwards) by the intellectuals and authors.

I’m not too sure whether Mandela is adorned by China. Do African honour Gandhi? The only people who honour all of the above are the western universalists.

WESTERN FAVOURITES
I notice that the west particularly Englishman (Americans included) are very fond of honouring two types of people as great and befitting of legends: freedom-fighter, and rulers of great empires. They stand in awe of great men who lead armies and fight courageous battles to conquer and build their empire. On the other hand these very same people adore peace-loving freedom fighter like Mandela, Gandhi and Suu Kyi who advocate freedom and justice.

OVERNIGHT FAME
There are short-cuts and quick fixes into becoming famous internationally overnight. One way is to be involved in something so big in the world that this project upon launch immediately propels a person into instant stardom. Daniel Radcliffe a nobody became an overnight sensation after the release of the first Harry Potter film and since the subsequent release of its sequels he has only gone from strength to strength. The other way is to say/do something so stupid that people just can’t get it out of their heads.

MEASURING GREATNESS
One way of measuring a person’s greatness is by pitting him against another great man. A truly great man will not be diminished by another. The meeting between Roger Federer and Tiger Woods for instance is a meeting between great men. However say if an ordinary leader were to meet Mandela, this person will be immediately dwarfed and ‘subdued’ by this man and his greatness.

Another way of measuring a person’s greatness is by pitting him against a great phenomenon or a historical event of this earth, for instance 911 or the tsunami. Again the greatest of men will not be overwhelmed by such events in the sight of others. Their perspective of him in the news or other material is that he is just as large and nothing is taken from him. A lesser man however would seem sidelined and unheeded in the wake of such catastrophic events.

RATING MAHATHIR
In Malaysia Mahathir (i.e. you) has reached the pinnacle of greatness; terbilang; as far as the sky would take him. He is a national hero, warrior/crusader, statesman and legend. He is the stuff stories and movies are made off. Anwar still has a bit more to go. Rafidah only needs the opportunity and then she must move faster than she already is.

I believe and I can see that Mahathir has somehow reached even further than a Asian level of statesmanship probably because of all the world issues he has been championing on the international arena. However, on the world front, I believe there is still a short distance more to go. Why? This is simply because Mahathir has just been pushing from the sidelines and not directly involved inside the centre itself.

WANING TOO FAST?
It is normal for a leader’s popularity and influence to wane once he has stepped down and is out of the limelight. This goes the same for legends: they would be heard and seen less on TV and in the papers; however their legend and memory should live long after him, and definitely so while he is alive and a living legend. He should not be so easily removed and forgotten. However if a great leader and statesman like yourself sees your influence waning drastically, there might be cause for concern.

HOME GROUND SUPPORT – exaggerating the truth?
I wonder whether you are really as great or is it the Malaysian media which is exaggerating (spinning upwards). I’m not being skeptic but it is good to have a true and fair viewpoint. Then we can assess correctly and make the necessary adjustments forward.

US PRESIDENCY
The US Presidency does not guarantee legendary status and greatness. It is only a ticket which the President must walk through and build upon by exemplifying greatness to truly become great. Yes, the President is automatically and international person, but a lacksure and ordinary performance will see him merely becoming one of the many presidents and merely a diplomat and a hire agent for international affair. He will be just like the UN secretary-General: just doing his job, only that it is on an international scale; there is nothing great about that. It does give him a clear head-start though.

GO THE THE USA (HOLLYWOOD)
I notice US political figure and Hollywood celebrities get instant international fame. A person who aspires to dominate the world should establish himself in the US. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not talking about Europe or the entire west; just the United States of America. It’s so happens that the USA is a western nation, that’s all. United States is the centre of the world. Yes there are some small TV dramas and local acts which hardly make it pass their own border. However, many moderate yet well-established people, films and other endeavors easily become a worldwide phenomenon. Their movie and TV soaps broadcast throughout hundreds of countries; literally the entire globe. Whoever is well established in the US most likely will be an international icon.

DOUBLE FAMOUS
Footballer David Beckham and Spice Girl Victoria Adams were both already extremely popular in their respective fields. However, their marriage boosted their popularity beyond popular. The same went to other Hollywood ‘power couples’. Arnold Swazenegger was well-known as Mr. Universe, extremely famous as a Hollywood action hero, and now beyond famous as the Govenor of California. Cemerlang, then gemilang, and finally terbilang. There’s always room for improvement.

CONCLUSION
This passage is not just directed to you but also your think-tank and supporters. Once you pass on they are the ones who must work hard to establish your legacy adequately.

I hope this study on how to be great is helpful to you. I welcome any feedback. I do hope you will make it to the extreme heights of greatness of the world equal to Alexander and Mandela.

ORIGINALLY OPEN LETTER TO TUN DR. MAHATHIR

Dr. M is 84. There is not much time. Very soon all will turn into memory and tribute and legacy. He should be remembered well.

MANTLE: NOT MISSING ANY FEATHERS.
I hope you have a clear view of what your legacy is. In case you don’t, allow me to explain.

Najib mentioned during the close of your last Umno assembly that you have 4 mantles. There are actually 8.

1. Champion/spokeperson for the 3RD WORLD.
2. ISLAMIC LEADER
3. Statesman (now elder) of ASIA (including strong proponent of Asian values)
4. Father of MODERN MALAYSIA.
5. Strongman (and nationalist) of MALAYSIA
6. Staunch fighter and defender of the MALAY race.
7. Strong leader of ASEAN
8. Stringent CRITIC OF THE WEST.

ALL 8 MANTLES must be present at any one time in any one profile or tribute; 3RD WORLD, ISLAM, ASIA, MODERNITY, MALAYSIA, MALAYS, ASEAN AND CRITIC OF THE WEST.

Most great people are known for just one significance issue, like Apartheid or Palestine. Few have at the most 2 mantles. You have 8!

Whether you have deliberately or otherwise sought to take up such positions is not important. Such labels have been bestowed unto you; just take it!

Most interviewer esp. foreign ones tend to only mention one or two, usually being the elder statesman of Asia. I hope they haven’t forgotten your contributions to the 3rd world and Islamic world too.

Why are there two mantles for MALAYSIA? What’s the difference between modernizer of Malaysia and strongman of Malaysia? Answer: various countries have a strongman, but not all strongman modernized their countries. Some are merely dictators. You were a strongman, and in addition you modernized Malaysia, hence the difference between the two.

Remember you have 8 mantles. Don’t be shortchanged.

MAHATHIRISM: IT’S ALL ABOUT BRANDING

Many great people are great because of their image rather than what they actually accomplished. In one word: OVERATED

Somehow they manage to portray a certain character and charisma that captivates the audience and builds a reputation for themselves. Some of them build such a status that it overwhelmingly yet so quietly covers up his lack of performance or worse still his many misdeeds. I will not name names. I believe you have done just enough to avoiding falling into this category.

Mention the name Mandela, Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher and Tito and many would be in awe despite not really knowing what these icons have really accomplished.

This is somewhat similar to product. Colgate is such a famous toothpaste brand that some even mistake the word for toothpaste itself. The same goes for Nescafe, McDonolds, Milo and the likes. Cola-cola is not vocabulary-wise coke itself; it’s just a brand name for coke.

A brand name ought to be catchy, captivating and memorable.

You must amplify on words and deeds that brand you well. MAHATHIRISM. DR. M. DR. MAHATHIR. CHE DET. These are your brands.

SUGGESTIONS

In addition to your upcoming memoirs may I also suggest you produce a BOOK containing all your QUOTES considering that you are such a quotable person.

Another BOOK you can pen is one on SNIPPETS, since you always have interesting and sharp viewpoints on many subjects including mozzarella cheese and cobble stones?

I see that you have already produced a book containing selected letters by you to world leaders, which is good. Perhaps you can also publish selected letters by and to Arab, African and other leaders too.

You should also have another book updating your photos and pictorial journey, and also a book on speeches (this can be broken down into UMNO speeches, international forums etc.)

You should also have a simple book highlighting your programs and achievements. No need for too many words; just the main points following the pictures will do.

You should then pen books on every thing else.

You, or rather should pen a personal SONG by the title Mahathir and whose lyrics sing about…you. This song should precede Frank Sinatra’s MY WAY.

In addition to MY WAY, may I suggest that you make these other song your own too as I see them fitting to your personality and legacy. They are:

LEGENDA, by Shiela Majid
STANDING IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD, by David Gates (Malay cover by Ella)
PAHLAWANKU (Malay patriotic song, originally meant for soldiers)

Many movies too contain a main Theme Song, at times a second and third supporting track, and various other music scores.

Already these songs are already playing in your many film tributes.

This goes the same for any future leader/PM who makes it great.

Highlight totally your resignation in 2002. It is a rare, classic and historic moment. Very seldom does any leader in history receive such overwhelming emotional outcry and affection. I wonder what happened when Lee Kuan Yew retired.

Your supporters/Perdana Leadership staff/your think tank should also be wise to play a strong co-operative role with the government in producing your tribute videos and making sure all your policies and accomplishments, mainly Malaysia’s modernization and mega-projects and your international spokesmanship is well defined and portrayed.

Last but not least, upload many significant videos (like the OIC speech or so) in Youtube and set up a full Youtube account and album. Most videos featuring you there now are crappy.

MILESTONES

Most developed developing/3rd world nation (That is, until 2020. Then we’ll be the most under-deloped developed/first world nation).

(2nd)Most developed Islamic country (after Dubai?)
The only industrialized developing country.

The first to transform from an agricultural to an industrial nation.

PERFORMANCE

Most tributes and description of Dr. M’s 22 years I find are messy and all over the place with a little here and there.

Below I have carefully ARRANGED all his policies and achievements categorically according to POLICIES, then PROGRAMS/CAMPAIGNS/AGENDA, then lastly straightforward MEASURES.

I have then highlighted separately OTHER THING such as his MEGAPROJECTS, SPORTS EVENTS, MALAYSIA BOLEH FEATS, SPOKESMANSHIP, INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES AND HOSTING EVENTS.

Policies
1. Vision 2020
2. Dasar Perindustrian Negara (incl. Dasar Industri Berat)
3. Dasar sains & teknologi (incl. Dasar IT/MSC)
4. National Development Policy (NDP) – which focuses on quality.
5. Malaysia Inc(operated)

Programs/campaigns (kempen menggalakkan)
1. Malaysia Boleh – do impossible, break records, excel in sports and achieve great feats.
2. Pandang ke Timur / Look East
3. Islamic values
4. Bersih, Cekap, Amanah / Clean, Efficient, Trustworthy
5. Leadership by example - only for leaders
6. 70 Juta Penduduk

Initiatives/measures/langkah-langkah
1. Public services
-work manual
-desk file
-flowchart
-name tag
-clock in punch card
-brainstorming
-excellence award
-office space
-foreign expert training
2. Privatisation
3. Standardize time between Peninsular and East Malaysia
4. Metric system
5. Law for Royalty (correctly it should only be enforced for criminal offences)
6. Declare assets (to combat corruption)
7. Industrialization (Science and technology)
8. Strongman (and nationalist) of MALAYSIA –promote patriotism
9. Staunch fighter and defender of the MALAY race.

• *Look-East cannot possibly be a POLICY. Why? Because definition-wise, policy is a legal framework that guides a major or central sector of an entire nation.

• You can’t enact a law ‘forcing’ everyone to Look-East! Look-East ‘Policy’ is simply a campaign i.e KEMPEN MENGGALAKKAN – a national campaign aimed at driving people towards emulating Japanese work ethics, not forcing them.

• The same goes for ‘Dasar 70 Juta Penduduk’. How are you going to force out an additional 40-50 mil humans beings ‘by law’ (as required by the ‘policy’)?

…Do you actually know what is a POLICY? Do you know what it means?

• However, Dasar Perindustrian IS INDEED A POLICY…simply because you can have a central code of regulations and guidelines pertaining to the INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE ENTIRE NATION.
• It’s the same for foreign policy or economic policy. A policy simply refers to the rules of macro-level things been done

Builder
1. Four main pillars and symbols of technology and industrialization:
-Proton – car, most common modern transport of today.
-Twin towers – modern metal tower and symbol of modern KL and Msia.
-Cyberjaya/MSC – cyber hub
-KLIA – modern gateway station and international door into Malaysia.
*The car, tower and cybercity, and airport: these 4 make up a modern civilization.
2. Putrajaya
3. LIMA
4. Langkawi

Sports
1. Commonwealth Games
2. Formula 1 (and all other motorsports events such as MotoGP, Japan GTI, formula A1, Powerboat and Formula 1 Equestrian)
3. Le Tour De Langkawi

Feats Under Malaysia Boleh
1. Conquering Mount Everest
2. Reaching the North Pole
3. Sailing solo around the world
4. Sending a Malaysian to space
5. Swimming across the English Channel

International
Champion/spokeperson for the 3RD WORLD.
ISLAMIC LEADER
Statesman (now elder) of ASIA (including strong proponent of Asian values)
Father of MODERN MALAYSIA.
Strong leader of ASEAN
Stringent CRITIC OF THE WEST.

International Initiatives
EAEC
Inclusion of Burma and Indochina into ASEAN
Gold Dinnar
South-south Cooperation (prosper thy neighbour)
Asian Values
AMF/EMF
LID (Langkawi International Dialogue)
Solving disputes in southern Thailand and Mindanao
War Crimes Tribunal (against war in Iraq)
Fight against globalization
Fight against financial speculation
Apartheid
Bosnia

International events hosted in Malaysia
–international events are NEVER hosted in a small or unknown country.

I would just like to note it is usually big or prominent countries that do the hosting. Under Mahathir Malaysia had the rare opportunity and privilege of hosting such major events.
1. CHOGM
2. COMMONWEALTH GAMES
3. OIC
4. NAM
5. G 15
6. G 77
7. APEC
8. F1

Now it all makes sense.
Firstly measures are taken to brush things up and improve basics such as the public services and other systems.
Then, policies are formulated to drive the nation first towards industrialization. This move towards industrialization is supported by the various campaigns and programs such as Look-East and privatization. Proton and mega-projects give additional boost.
After some years when we are ready we move up then secondly the science and technology policies together with the MSC is launched.
By arranging nicely I hope nothing will be left out and the direction and steps towards modernization can be clearly seen.

ACHIEVEMENTS only DR. M himself could do.

• Exemplify patriotism of Malaysia

• Pride, self-belief (Malaysia Boleh), memartabatkan maruah bangsa

• Physical development and mega-projects

• World leader

• Great leader, strongman of Malaysia

• Transform Malaysia from agricultural to industrial nation

• Transform mentality (esp. Malays – Melayu Baru)

• Make Malaysia famous and respected (incl. hosting many int. events)

• Break records and attempt the impossible

• Ripple/domino effect and spillovers

• Instill values, set example and inspire a nation

• Embark on many (new) fields, all-encompassing

• Reach celebrity status

• Stress on knowledge, science and technology

• Bursting seems such as MSC and Proton

WEST: LOOKING FROM BOTH SIDES

I’m afraid that your strong sense of nationalism and fighting spirit has blinded you from seeing the reality. It is this very same nationalism and national pride that drives the Europeans into conquering and colonizing. It is sad you were born on this side of the world; the side of the colonized, the side of the weak and oppressed. And because of this you grew bitter and hateful towards the West till this day.

Less than 5% are in the ruling class. The rest are farmers, craftsman, cobblers, blacksmiths, tailors, peasants, musicians and simple country folks.

The soldiers fight simply on the instruction of the King or General.

Even today who are the ones influencing the world and making all the decisions? The average American? Or the President? Too many average citizens simply go to work and home.

Some colonists like James Brooke acted on their own accord. He was simply a traveler who helped solve some local dispute and took advantage to be the Rajah. He merely came, saw and conquered. The British Government was not involved.

Not all European countries went to war. Some lived quietly in peace in their own countryside. In facts, Americans under General Washington had to fend of British forces and obtain independence. Americans themselves then didn’t fight and colonize. In facts they very much stayed out of World War II and only intervened after Japanese forces ‘awakened the sleeping giant’ in Pearl Harbor.

Even in a country like Malaysia you urge Malays and Malaysians to think big, build this country and strive for greatness. What more in a superpower! Don’t they more so want the same things for themselves?

Imagine if you were a leader of a superpower. Imagine you are now the Pharaoh of Egypt or the Tsar or the President. You have all the means. Wouldn’t you too want to expand your empire to the far reaches of the earth and be a great leader of this great empire and its people? Don’t the Egyptians, or the Englishman, or the Americans want the same thing?

During the past Malaya like many part of the east were primitive and merely settlements. There was vast land and huge jungles underutilized. You are a leader of a great civilization and you come to this no man’s land. What would you do? Just let it pass by, or seize the opportunity?

I’m not supporting the colonists. All I’m asking is that you try and see things from their perspective. Europeans are merely humans, and like all humans, want good things for themselves. They are at the threshold of greatness, and therefore merely want to expand their empire. Only that it’s at the expense of the colonized. Perhaps it would have been better if the outside world was uninhabited, or that the eastern conclaves were unreachable to the west.

You said that Europeans are proponents of war, sodomy and genocide. Do Europeans go to war just for the sake of warring, or worse still for fun? Isn’t their purpose simply to seek new territory and expand their empire? Do the Europeans kill people for nothing? Aren’t they merely defending against their enemies and reducing the strength and numbers of their opponents as in any other war?

Europeans are not the only civilization to go to war. China had their fair share of wars and epics, and so to does India.

Today to sole superpower dominating the world is the United States. Much of European countries today are mere spectators. They do not cause wars or impose sanctions. They are almost powerless. Even England has lost much of its influence. The rest of Europe has nothing to do with the world today. So now are you still anti-western, or should you more correctly be anti-American?

I hope after reading this your anger and hated towards Europeans will subside.

RAFIDAH - I know this sounds crazy, but...CONTEST THE UMNO PRESIDENT'S POST NOW!!! - THIS IS NATIONAL SERVICE!!!
1. Rafidah is a rare breed; one of a kind; pure steel. Simply extraordinary. One of a kind on this earth!
2. By ministerial standards she has been reasonable noted outside Malaysia and on an international level. She is unique among her peers, among women and more so among men! In Umno she is popular among women, and more so among men.
3. Why wasn’t Rafidah pushed to contest the Vice Presidency therefore paving way for her to become a future PM.
4. Favourtism or cronyism? No. There is nothing wrong lifting a person of extraordinary talent. Lee Kuan Yew and Tun Razak openly talent scouted, as too football coaches and modeling/acting agencies. You yourself in Bukit gantang opening admitted as to having lifted Anwar “sampai ke langit”.
5. Rafidah’s USP (uniques selling point) is her toughness. She is even tougher than men, and that includes mat salleh. Find me anyone hald as tough, even in Europe, be it woman or man.
6. Too many times she claims to have no ambition and that she is focused on women. Yet recently many claim she has outlived her position as Wanita head and twice was she knocked out of that position.
7. Such talent cannot but be a gift from above. It simply cannot be kept to herself to be wasted in her old age. It would be selfish and irresponsible to Malaysia and more so the world. She - like all men (or women in this case) destined for greatness - have a duty and an obligation to fulfil her destiny. She MUST fulfil her destiny… more so for the sake of the Malaysia. Nothing personal. This is national service.
8. Rafidah is 62. Time is ticking. She must act fast.
9. Should she screw-up performance-wise, even her lively outstanding character is enough to see her through to the annals or greatness and immortality fitting to legends.
10. Two PMs have already passed since you left office. This has made ample space and time for another great leader to once again grace the stage of Malaysian statesmanship.
11. Once in a long time a great person descends upon the face of this earth and trod this land. It is strange that in one moment in time not one but three such persons exist together in the very same place where only one shall prevail. Truth to the fact, one prevailed long and great, another was sidestepped along the way and he who sidestepped and hopped over was inevitably overcome by he who prevailed long and great. The three are Mahathir, Rafidah and Anwar. Match these three with he who prevailed, she who was sidestepped by one’s longevity and another’s ambition, and he who sidestepped, accordingly.

ABDULLAH BADAWI

So much for picking on Mahathir! Ok fine, maybe Mahathir’s administrative and managerial style is a little ‘loose cannon’/’wild man’ and all over the place, but…

What about Abdullah himself?

This guy has zero international stature, (no one knows/remembers him), can’t speak (English) well, is too soft and weak, uninspiring, fail to do anything big or spectacular during his reign and so forth.

And he dreams of being this great Islamic Legend adorned by the west in particular Bush, Blair and Howard. In return he was snubbed by them in the Davos and the White House.

REVENGE OF THE PRESS?

The second Abdullah stepped down there was a great silence about him from the press. I mean it was like as if he wasn’t PM in the first place. Is it because he is indeed so forgettable or was there a conspiracy to take revenge for blackening out Mahathir?

BADAWI FINALLY HAS MET HIS DAMAI ABADI

Funny a guy infamous for his sleeping habits actually openly penned a poem whose title spells the words DAMAI ABADI. Where better to obtain everlasting peace than from a good beauty sleep. It couldn’t have been more fitting for Abdullah.

Abdullah Badawi has been discontented with Mahathir for so long (simply because of his management approach).

In 2003 he had the chance to finally set the record straight, show Malaysians what he believes is the right way of doing things, and in the process simultaneously expose Mahathir’s folly…even though he too has many shortcomings that he and everyone else far too knows about.

He had his chance.

Now he should leave Mahathir and his legacy alone.

I will not go to the extent of saying whether Mahathir is worthy of such honour. But that is not important. Many legends have been overrated. Abdullah does not understand that it is also the appeal, persona, charisma and many other personal qualities flowing out from a man that endure to the people and turns this man into a legend. At times performance and actual accomplishment is but the last criterion.

It is good for Malaysia to have a great leader and a national hero for a legend.

He who can’t go the extra mile should not stop those who can.

Now that Abdullah Badawi has done his thing, undone Mahathir’s thing and stepped down, he can finally get lots of sleep. Banyak damai ABADI…..ABADI (forever).

KNOCKED OUT BY A BRIDGE

Abdullah Badawi in his finally interview as PM claimed that “the bridge was all that Mahathir cared about and the rest is just an elaboration (of the bridge).”

One of the main reasons attributed to Badawi’s heavy loss in the elections was Mahathir’s stringent criticism of Badawi’s administration and the problems Malaysia faces. Many hot issues from the economy to crime echoed Mahathir’s strongest points.

Had Mahathir not fought, would Abdullah have fared better enough to remain in power? And Abdullah claimed all Mahathir cared about was that crooked bridge. That means Abdullah was knocked out of power simply because of one miserable bridge. Pathetic!

THE RESURECTION

Two of Malaysia’s best known national figures have made an impressive comeback: Mahathir and Anwar. Coincidentally they were both formerly together and later fought each other.

Abdullah Badawi was dealt 3 blows the day Mahathir returned.
1. Mahathir’s surprise enterance at the UMNO assembly and worse still the rousing welcome and overwhelming show of support by the delegates. Abdullah was also present. I wonder how he hid his face.
2. Mahathir’s live telecasted campaign in Bukit Gantang, where he was treated like a pop star by the largest gathering ever in a long while.
3. Matathir was warmly welcomed back into UMNO by Najib, and was later seen together with Najib officiating the new Proton Exora.
3 strikes and you’re out. Since then there was never a sight of Abdullah Badawi ever again.

Abdullah Badawi was blown again, this time by Anwar.
1. Abdullah saw it wrongly. Having the elections sees no different for Anwar as he is still free to campaign and do everything else under the sun, except contest. No difference.
2. After Anwar is eligible and he contests in an exclusive by-election with the entire spotlight on him alone. Wouldn’t it be indifferent and therefore better for Anwar to be sworn in with the rest of the pack so as not to highlight him?
3. At winning he makes a grand entire into parliament for swearing-in; nothing short of a grand resurrection. Again wouldn’t it be indifferent and therefore better for Anwar to be sworn in with the rest of the pack so as not to highlight him? Why make another pop star out of him? For nothing…right Abdullah???

IMAGE
Abdullah created this image of being a reformer pushing for greater transparency, openness, freedom, human rights and so forth. By doing so he can easily hide behind these veils and control the press, institutions etc. and people won’t know. I’m not saying he did ; I’m just saying it is easy for him to do so.

On the contrary you have this authoritarian image. Therefore, no matter how much you try to proof otherwise, this image will still stick.

It’s all about the image.

ADVISOR
Abdullah has been appointed advisor for MAS and ambassador for Islam to Arab countries.

In all honesty I thought Dr.M would have been a more suitable advisor for MAS and ambassador for Islam to Arab countries.

Malaysian Airlines is somewhat your pet project too given your sheer interest for aero planes (like the many models by the window in the old Seri Perdana) MAS is also to some extent synonymous with the industrialization and modernization of Malaysia. Proton, Petronas and MAS: these three industrial giants have your imprint.

Dr.M is a well known as an Islamic leader and spokesperson of the world. The Arabs indirectly acknowledge this fact.

Abdullah was correctly chosen as advisor to the CORRIDORS. If they wanted to add on, Abdullah should also have been appointed advisor to some agricultural or more so biotech initiative.

SIAPA LANTIK ABDULLAH…SEBAGAI MERTERI LUAR?

It is an open secret that generally ministers of finance, foreign affairs, defense are powerful, some as powerful as the PM himself.

In many countries the leader of the second largest coalition party is the finance or foreign minister. Strong party stalwarts and potential PMs-in-waiting have also held such portfolios, for instance Gordon Brown and Paul Martin, who go on to become PM. Even former and retired PMs and presidents have returned as finance or foreign ministers, among them Miyazawa, Hillary Clinton and Shimon Peres. Not to mention also other returnees such as Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfield and Paul Wolfowitz.

Among Abdullah Badawi’s shortcoming in this aspect are his international presence and his speech problems.

Abdullah Badawi speaks English with thick local accent. In addition, he has speaking difficulties. He can’t articulate well, and his speeches are too basic. In prepared speeches, he shoots off like a robot.

How is he going to establish any kind of contact - personal or business whatsoever –with anyone from abroad? How are they going to perceive Malaysia, given that the Foreign Minister is the spokesperson and ambassador (and to some extent unofficial salesman) for the country? In 9 years as foreign minister, he has yet to establish any sort of friendship with anyone overseas. How to leverage any deals or favours?

I also noticed the common ministerial path towards Prime Ministership, i.e. from sports to education to defence/home/finance to DPM (or somewhere around this line).

Abdullah Badawi too trotted a similar path, from Minister in PM’s dept to education to defense to foreign affairs. Was he in line to be PM then? What was his position in Umno and the government? I know he won the Vice-Presidency 4 times but was he popular and earmarked for the top? What about Anwar, Najib and Rafidah?

Having said this, I think we should not hammer Abdullah anymore. He has gone through enough. Give him a breather.

US DIPLOMACY: ONE QUESTION, TWO QUESTIONS, OR ‘JUST TWO STATEMENTS’?
1. Big countries get two questions after their opening statements. Israel too got two questions. So-so countries get only one question. Small countries get NONE.
2. Singapore’s NEW PM Lee Hsien Loong had ONE question. Not bad. Malaysia’s then NEW PM Abdullah Badawi – in all his hue and cry in wanting to be buddies with Bush and the superpowers – had NONE! “We’ll JUST HAVE two statements” Is Malaysia STILL so small? Or is it just Abdullah?

BETWEEN PAYING TRIBUTE AND READING HISTORY

Megawati kept your ASEAN farewell tribute in Bali to a minimal, just mentioning briefly your long tenure and outspokenness, all that just in relation to ASEAN. She didn’t highlight any achievements and the entire speech was ordinary and plain formality.

Abdullah did the same in your last UNMO assembly, merely mentioning very generic things such as your long tenure and so forth without specifically noting anything praiseworthy. More than that, in addition to being your last deputy and heir apparent in your final days Abdullah had the ‘honour’ of writing and speaking many tributes here and there, including in your noted coffee-table book “22 Years, 22 Voices”. You better check back for any sabotage. Which come to the question, “why get your deputy - who is just like, ‘whoever’ - to write your foreword?”

PAK LAH, EVERYONE IS OVERRATED…OK?

Why are you picking on Mahathir?

Lee Kuan Yew, Suharto and everyone else are great because of their characteristic qualities and broad image more than what they did or achieved.

Nobody is a magician, not even the greatest of men. During a boom the economy generally peaks and when a crisis strikes it fall. Countries which strategic advantages like Singapore are bound to go further, as are more advanced countries like Japan and Korea. There is only so much a leader can do; as far as he can go. Whoever presides at that time simply takes the credit or the blame. He can’t fight the current. Even if that great man can just make the country a little better it is already good enough.

Lee Kuan Yew is lucky. Singapore is in a unique position in the world as it stands out as one of the very few (if not the only) island city states. Moreover, Singapore uniquely sits at this historically famous aast-west entrepot crossroad, further cementing is name as a modern, prosperous economic, financial and business hub of which on it lies the world-famous world No 1 port (and also airport). That’s how Lee Kuan Yew became a household name...because of Singapore.

By right looking closely Lee Kuan Yew’s influence was only up to an Asian level. He hardly stood higher or spoke louder than others on the international front. I do not recall Lee Kuan Yew introducing any particular policy, program or mega project that specifically added towards Singapore’s growth and improvement. He merely oversaw Singapore’s natural transformation into a Tiger economic from what was already - given Singapore’s easy small size, strategic position and urban population – an outrightly foregone potential in a then already well established and developed capital of the Straits Settlement. Lee Kuan Yew simply sat through the job.

ABDULLAH’S MISSES

Cakapkan orang sendiri lebih. Abdullah in his busyness picking splinters in Mahathir’s eyes missed the plank in his.

Abdullah repaired the public service. He missed inserting the KPI (key performance index).

Abdullah carried out reforms encouraging openness, justice and human rights?
Why didn’t he review the ISA? Why didn’t he release any detainees?

Abdullah pushed for biotechnology. Why wasn’t Biovalley revived?

Abdullah promoted agriculture. Why didn’t he review the Agricultural Policy? Shouldn’t he have insert clauses on Biotech?

Abdullah tried to be best friends with Bush, Blair and Howard of developed countries. Abdullah officiated the Iskandar Growth Region as well as the Penang monorail, second bridge and PGCC skyscraper. Yet at the same time he ‘mencari damai abadi’, promotes agriculture, cut the budget deficit and adopts a simple Kampong Sg. Penchala lifestyle. Very contradicting!

THE ‘CURSE’ OF MAHATHIR.

Ok, maybe not so bad, but Abdullah should have been aware after 22 years / 50 years that whoever goes against Mahathir is shooting himself in the foot and deliberately awaiting his doom.

Mahathir fought Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1969 leading to the latter’s resignation.

Heavyweights Tengku Razaleigh and Musa Hitam aka Abdullah’s ‘sifu’ challenged Mahathir in 87 and today they’re not even featherweights.

Anwar was taken down by Mahathir in true Star Wars / Obi Wan-Anakin / master-apprentice style and today Anwar is crawling back slowly on probably his last lifeline.

Anwar’s apprentice A.Z. Hamidi o the other hand helped his ‘boss’ fight Mahathir and ended up in the wilderness for 5+?? years sidestepped by his deputy Hishamuddin in the process (who rose along the prime-line to become sports, education and now home minister).

The curse is so powerful that it reaches the other side of the earth. Anwar’s friend from abroad Al Gore also tried to help. What happened? He later lost the Presidential elections in razor-thin margins… and absurd reasons too…people marked confusing ballot papers wrongly, flip flopping results for disputed Florida by mere hundreds and worse still he actually won the popular vote (headcount).

Mahathir attacked Soros who later lost some money somewhere in Europe if I’m not wrong.

Shahrir is also a victim I think.

And now of course Abdullah has taken the fall. Merely 3 years or so and he can’t even maintain a usually confirmed ¾ majority of BN.

HISTORY’S TOP PEOPLE – MAYBE MAHATHIR’S NAME WILL BE THERE IN THE FUTURE.

ANALYSIS ANWAR

Sebenarnya masalah / Archilles heel Anwar hanyalah satu saja…AKHLAK. Kebolehan Anwar yang luar biasa sentiasa ditentang oleh sesetengah pemimpin Umno dengan mengatakan bahawa Anwar:

1. Rendah akhlak

2. Tamak kuasa

3. Petualang

4. Putar-belit / dua muka

5. Agen musuh

6. Skandal hubungan

Ini semua masalah berkenaan akhlak.

Saya ingin menegaskan ini adalah tuduhan-tuduhan oleh mereka yang mempertikaikan Anwar dan bukan kata-kata saya sendiri. Jangan salah faham.

Kalaupun tuduhan ini adalah fitnah semata-mata, namun mereka sudahpun berjaya meletakkan satu LABEL pada Anwar yang sukar ditanggalkan.

Kalau bukan kerana masalah ini mungkin Anwar sudahpun melangkah lebih jauh lagi dan lebih banyak diterima rakyat.

Cukuplah wajaperak...tak payahlah sampai nak curse sini sana...malu jadi Penokong Tun.

Cheese mungkin asalnya dari Arab tapi bila dibawa balik ke Eropah mereka akan ubai suai ikut acuan mereka sendiri agar jadi makanan Eropah. Sama dengan spagetti...asalnya mi tapi bila Marco Polo bawa balik mi dari China, orang Itali tukarnya jadi spagetti. Cuba bandingkan mi di hawker dengan spagetti di restoran...beza, kan?

kepada..prof***...saya hanya komen saja, tak payahlah sampai guna bahasa tinggi orang expert/academik...kalau dengar macam budak sekolah pun tak apalah, asalkan orang ramai paham. Kalau guna bahasa
hebat tapi semua salah pun tak ada guna, kan.

saya tak pernah kata Tun diktator saya ulas kenapa orang panggil dia sedemikian...saya maksud pada 90an "mungkin' paras rupa macam ini dan ini dan ini yang pengkritik tun maksudkan. Bukan saya yang kata Tun macam itu. Saya ulas orang lain.

Memanglah yang sebenarnya Proton dibina dalam satu kilang yang cukup moden dan hebat tetapi yang hos Top Gear ketawakan ialah 'jungle'....iaitu kilang itu 'dalan kawasan (berdekatan)hutan', bukan kata apa.

Bhg komen blog Tun bukan tempat sesuai utk saling kecam/membalas kecaman sesama ahli. Saya sedia bahas di ruang sesuai. Ini kan tempat beri pandangan berkenaan Tun.

Daripada mengkritik saya lebih baik salurkan masa dan tenaga menyokong tun di mana antara cara terbaik berbuat demikian ialah menyebarkan komen saya berkenaan LEGENDS yang menghuraikah bagaimana menjadi Lagenda terulung di peringkat antarabangsa sampai top 100 dalam sejarah dan bukan sekadar di Asia sahaja.

To Juno...
Saya tulis LEGENDS ni nak tolong Tun langkah lebih jauh di arena antarabangsa bukan nak kecilkan dia. Saya nak dia jadi truly world leader bukan sekadar asian leader sahaja, faham? Bukan saya atau kamu yang akan tentukan betapa greatnya Tun; sejarah dan dunia yang akan menilai.
Kalau boring, kau jangan bacalah. Saya tulis untuk Tun bukan kamu. Lagipun yang saya tulis ialah fakta bukan hiburan.
We are all spectators, ok? Kau pulak siapa? And don't judge me having not even seen me yet.
You don't know me…and I don't want to know you.

Chances are that I might not be a Muslim, but that is not the point.

You support Tun, but you will "make sure Tun Dr Mahathir will not be the legend"???

Apa ni?!

By trying to help him you doom him! Nice.

You want to ensure Tun rules through the RUKUNNEGARA??? WHAT!!!

Hello...there is nothing greater than to be great.

And this has nothing to do with Christianity or Islam or any religion, or even the west / budaya kuning. I have stressed that it's so happen that USA is today's middle kingdom. If it were China I would have said China. That's all!

Maybe you don't understand me as much as I don't understand you.

But I still think you need help. Your boss, wife and in-laws have to read this. Have they seen this side of you yet?

Just for the record you are officially the st***dest person I've ever heard. I don't think Tun wants your help, unless of course he is as *** as you.

HBT said...and I quote...

"I absolutely would not want our people and the world to think Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is a legend. Tun Dr M is not an artist or celebrity."

Not a celebrity? Well neither is Caesar or Mandela...

"I sincerely hope that Tun Dr M will not be remembered as Legend. Just take an example, the late P. Ramlee is the legend in Malay movie industry, what happened to his late son? I do not want our future generation to become the late son of P. Ramlee,"

You think Mukhriz will whither because Mahathir is a Legend?

"I want Tun Dr M to be remembered as the "Path" to develop Malaysia further."

"...chedet.cc has analysed the world scenario so that Malaysia can adapt faster to catch up with the world."

chedet.co.cc was created firstly to fight Pak Lah after the mainstream blackout and secondly just to drop some snippets here and there...apa "catch up with the world" ni???

CAN SOMEONE REEDUCATED THIS GUY???

...and btw Mahathir is already a Legend and definitely counts as a celebrity in the eyes of Malaysia, am I not right fellow viewers?

Having said that allow me to move on to the very reason I signed into this blog in the very first place. Anyway I am posting this again for emphasis purposes. Again I stress that life is but for a moment by a legacy is immortal/forever. I believe it is important for you to know and establish your legacy. If not when you are gone your legacy will be left to people who have not met you of know you and may not have even be born during your time. Who knows how you will be remembered then.

MAHATHIR HAS REACHED THE HIGHEST LEVEL POSSIBLE IN MALAYSIA; FAR AND BEYOND.

HOWEVER, ON THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA, MAHATHIR HAS JUST BEEN AVERAGE.

I WOULD LIKE HIM TO JUST PUSH THOSE FEW MORE STEPS AND GO THE DISTANCE TO THE VERY ENDS IN THE WORLD.

It's as simple as that.

Yes, he is some sort of international statesman; better off than those who just 'jaguh kampung'. which almost every country in Asia (and also Africa and S.America) already have.

This is what I have been elaborating in my articles LEGACY AND LEGENDS. I hope you have read it.

In order to achieve this Mahathir needs help from four sources:
1. A PLATFORM/ISSUE
2. MEDIA
3. UNITED STATES

1. PLATFORM
All great man have a platform. Mandela-apatheid, Aun Sang Suu Kyi - Junta, Arafat - Mideast etc.

2. MEDIA
Publicity is very important. Constant coverage and exposure to the world by international news agencies will heighten a person's reputation further. It is not just enough to be known. Mahathir has to be a household name; so much so that even a 5-year-old in USA or Africa known Mahathir the way they know Washington or Einstein.

3. UNITED STATES
Anti-west or otherwise, the USA is as of today the centre and 'capital' of the world. ONE HAS TO GO AND BE KNOWN IN THE USA IN ORDER TO BE A GLOBAL ICON.

I bet you can name most of the Hollywood celebrities. Do you by any chance however know any actor/actress from even France?

This is a fact. USA is the door to the world. If it were China, I would have said go to China.

Once Mahathir has accomplished these 3 criteria, then he is on his way to becoming one of the greatest people of this earth. But until then, he is only known in Asia and the Islamic World.

OTHERS
PTP
1. Why wasn’t the Port of Tanjung Pelepas or its equilavent built during the infancy of Singapore (and its great port), i.e. the period around our independence?

2. That way PTP and Singapore’s port can compete on a level footing and PTP can bank on its many advantages such as its strategic east-west meeting point at the tip of the peninsular that has made Singapore and its port the great entrepot hub that it is today.

3. We only have ourselves to blame.

SHOOTING OURSELVES IN THE FOOT: GIVING EXCUSES TO SINGAPORE.
1. Malaysia never learns. Again we are giving many ‘free’ reasons for Singapore to cause trouble with Malaysia.
2. Nusajaya is built near Singapore’s (military) FIRING range. Johor excos now fear for their lives.
3. Building PTP too close to Singapore that their reclamation works almost blocked PTP’s shipping routes.
4. Why wasn’t the water treaty renegotiated in XXXX, exactly 25 years from its expiry, so as not to give Singapore the benefit of the doubt as to what AFTER 25 years mean; exactly after, or anytime after? Did someone forget?
5. You should set the record straight in your memoirs after that which was twisted by Lee Kuan Yew in his.

US DIPLOMACY: ONE QUESTION, TWO QUESTIONS, OR ‘JUST TWO STATEMENTS’?
1. Big countries get two questions after their opening statements. Israel too got two questions. So-so countries get only one question. Small countries get NONE.
2. Singapore’s NEW PM Lee Hsien Loong had ONE question. Not bad. Malaysia’s then NEW PM Abdullah Badawi – in all his hue and cry in wanting to be buddies with Bush and the superpowers – had NONE! “We’ll JUST HAVE two statements” Is Malaysia STILL so small? Or is it just Abdullah?
3. I noticed you were given unlimited questions during your visit in 2002. it is commendable esp. for someone considered somewhat anti-US. Perhaps Bush had plenty to say as the purpose of that particular visit was to discuss terrorism.

4. I’m still curios however as to how many questions you got in all your previous visits to the US. Perhaps during the first few it is understandable as you were new and Malaysia was not well known then. However by the 90s with Clinton - given your international standing and Malaysia’s economic boom - you should have made some progress I suppose.

5. This is not the only double-standard problem of the US; there is more. Leaders (even new ones) of big powers are granted ‘instant, personal friendship’ with the President. Immediately they exchange pleasantries as close and personal as brothers, for instance talking about Elvis and so forth. They also exchange gifts like guitars and baseball bats. To small countries the President ‘just says Hello and Goodbye!’ Apparently leaders from Africa and Caribbean are too ‘ulu’ to know about Elvis Presley.

6. I wonder why no country has yet to recall their US ambassador and launch a protest. Blatant double standards! This is a mockery to small nations!

7. Another instance in which blame can’t be totally apportioned to the US is the scope of bilateral discussions. European and Japanese leaders talk about environment, weapons, research etc. For the small countries all they talk about is economy, economy, economy (or rather the lack of it).

8. Big countries get LENGHTY joint press conferences on nice podiums talking and laughing for a good 30 minutes. Small countries get a miserable 5 minutes for a short statement sitting down on a deck chair. Maybe it’s not that bad but what I’m emphasizing here is the double-standards.

9. If that is not bad enough, the president even goes on and on about major world issues like Iraq (which could have been mentioned anytime compared to the rare visit by that tiny country) in the presence of the visitor whose country is hardly noticed or mentioned. Great, he has just wasted a short and wonderful state visit which he would probably only get once in his life! (unless or course he rules for 20 years). And worse still he paid millions to the lobbyist!

10. If smart enough, the visiting leader House would before the photo opportunity cleverly urge the president to give his some questions and more talk time.

TOP GEAR: RESPECT
It is good that developing and underdeveloped countries look to Malaysia as a model.

However, it is also my hope Malaysia does enough also to garner some sort of respect from western countries too.

Recently BBC’s TOP GEAR hosts poked fun at our PROTON SAVVY, calling it extremely cheap and produced in a jungle.

Top Gear is a British car program.

RTM
The least RTM could do is to SIMPLY COPY to the tee every aspect of TV3, NTV7 and Astro.

For the love of God, just copy, ikut saja, that’s all.

Just copy.

ARMY FOR SHOW
I might not be a military expert but allow me to present my view. Malaysia’s armed-forces is indeed ‘dormant’.

I’m not supporting war or anything like that. But what’s the point then of building our armed forces?

Even if we were to want to go the war it would be impossible. The enemy would simply seek refuge and military assistance from big powers and wisely we would do the same. In the end it would be the armed forces of these big powers fighting the battles for us. Should no superpower want to help us our army is too minute to defend us from the opposing superpower anyway.

Our military will only be only good for patrolling, training and peace keeping…and of course for putting on a good show during the Merdeka parade (and LIMA).

Bear in mind that weapons and aircrafts cost millions.

So how now? Should we simply disband our army?

AN INCONVINIENT TRUTH: WHAT ARE THESE GREEN PEOPLE DOING IN NATIONAL POLITICS?

When I say green I’m not referring to freshies or novices, but rather to environmentalists.

Why is Al Gore champion of global warming (and other environmental concerns) a Democrat and not a member of America’s Green Party?

Do not be mistaken it has been an old passion. Even while campaigning for Vice-Presidency back in 92 his opponent accused that in Al Gore’s manifesto he promised to channel 100 million of American taxpayer’s dollars towards environmental causes in Africa/overseas. I’m not sure if his opponent accused correctly but if he did then not only is USD100 million siphoned away from Americans, its not even helping to solve health or poverty issues prevalent to Africans, but is instead set aside for Africa’s ENVIRONMENT? By the way America as in today was in 92 facing very much the same war-triggered economic crisis. This passion has stuck by him throughout his Vice-presidency and 16 years later we get ‘The Inconvenient Truth’. What about joining the Green Party? Hmm…I wondered how Clinton managed Gore.

Another similar person is the German foreign minister. His Green Party entered what was enough to form the governing coalition and its leader opted for the foreign affairs portfolio over environment. But he’s the Green Party leader, no???

ADVISOR
Abdullah has been appointed advisor for MAS and ambassador for Islam to Arab countries.

In all honesty I thought Dr.M would have been a more suitable advisor for MAS and ambassador for Islam to Arab countries.

Malaysian Airlines is somewhat your pet project too given your sheer interest for aero planes (like the many models by the window in the old Seri Perdana) MAS is also to some extent synonymous with the industrialization and modernization of Malaysia. Proton, Petronas and MAS: these three industrial giants have your imprint.

Dr.M is a well known as an Islamic leader and spokesperson of the world. The Arabs indirectly acknowledge this fact.

Abdullah was correctly chosen as advisor to the CORRIDORS. If they wanted to add on, Abdullah should also have been appointed advisor to some agricultural or more so biotech initiative.

FRIEND OR FOE?
Many people have placed you in the same league as Lee Kuan Yew and Suharto, i.e. Asian strongmen. Considering this fact, should either one gain stature of any sort, wouldn’t it be diminishing to the other two?

Why would you pay tribute beyond the ordinary to Suharto, hailing him as a great leader and an international statesman, considering that you too are jostling for such a position? Would Lee Kuan Yew or even Suharto lavish such kind words to you at any time, more so during your funeral?

It is obvious such words flow from your friendship with him. I wonder whether the same would have been said if he was not close to you. Many people (esp UMNO leaders) have said you have this tendency of being extremely nice and protective of anyone considered to be your friend. This is a major flaw.

Malaysia and Indonesia are known to be competitors engaged in an unofficial cold war in many issues, including badminton.

Megawati kept your ASEAN farewell tribute in Bali to a minimal, just mentioning briefly your long tenure and outspokenness, all that just in relation to ASEAN. She didn’t highlight any achievements and the entire speech was ordinary and plain formality. Abdullah did the same in your last UNMO assembly.

Friend or no friend, you should be smart.

WHY NO MONUMENT?

I must conclude by now that Malaysia is not fond or eracting great monuments or honouring men of renown.

Walls and streets of Cities in Europe teem with statues of leaders, revolutionaries, aristocrats, generals, crusaders, philosophers and the likes.

There is not a single monument in Kuala Lumpur!

Wouldn’t it be logical and right to – in addition to preserving Dataran Merdeka as the venue of independence – also to erect a statue of our founding father Tunku Abdul Rahman on that very spot in which he proclaimed independence? Is there a more fitting tribute? Need I say more?

On a related issue I would like to stress my opinion that word Putrajaya doesn’t quite honour Tunku Abdul Rahman. Why? Putra is the forth word in his complete name and not even part of his first/main name. His main name is Tunku Abdul Rahman, followed by Putra Al-Haj. Putra might even be his father’s name. Obviously the proper name for the new administrative centre should simply have been ‘Tunku Abdul Rahman’.

I hope the government will not forget to erect statues of Mahathir, Anwar and hopefully Rafidah and the rest when all is over. But alas, I fear I will be disappointed again.

Now of course the opposite should be said for statues of colonists. Only a nitwit would preserve the statue of Stamford Raffles or Francis Light. At the very strike of midnight of independence these statues should be thorn down and burned.

THE UFO WHICH LANDED IN THE WRONG CITY.

What is that UFO called the Putrajaya International Convention Centre doing atop that hill in Putrajaya? Don’t get me wrong; it’s a beautiful piece of architecture. But given its metallic, modern appeal, would it be more sensible as a science centre in Cyberjaya the Hi-tech city instead? And why does our Science Centre look like a golf and country club with that golf ball in the centre?

Worse still is that visiting leaders during the photo opportunity outside Perdana Putra wonderfully face and point towards the UFO. They should be facing a monument or another complex perhaps.

The Putrajaya Landmark is another piece of modern metal sculpture that is better off being the landmark for Cyberjaya. Obviously the proper landmark for Putrajaya should have been some sort of stone monument or statue. And the wonderful Cyberjaya landmark spelling CYBERJAYA in alternating blue and green one on top of the other resembles children’s playing alphabet blocks.

Another building is the parliament. Two halls, many floors! Why is the two-hall parliament (upper and lower house) situated in a multi-storey commercial office skyscraper building? Should it be in a proper hall/complex/court?

Anyway, it’s not that bad, that is, compared with other countries. The Kremlin resembles onions, Taipei 101 a bamboo shoot, and Singapore’s brand new amphitheatre looks like (and stinks like) Durians.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not insulting the buildings. I’m merely questioning the rational behind its style.

SHIFTING THE CAPITAL.

Putrajaya should be the new capital city of Malaysia.

The administration is there.

The Agong’s palace and Parliament should rightly move there too.

And apart from e-government what does Putrajaya have to do with technology and the MSC? Putrajaya is just like any other administrative government centre.

ABDULLAH’S MISSES

Cakapkan orang sendiri lebih. Abdullah in his busyness picking splinters in Mahathir’s eyes missed the plank in his.

Abdullah repaired the public service. He missed inserting the KPI (key performance index).

Abdullah carried out reforms encouraging openness, justice and human rights?
Why didn’t he review the ISA? Why didn’t he release any detainees?

Abdullah pushed for biotechnology. Why wasn’t Biovalley revived?

Abdullah promoted agriculture. Why didn’t he review the Agricultural Policy? Shouldn’t he have insert clauses on Biotech?

Abdullah tried to be best friends with Bush, Blair and Howard of developed countries. Abdullah officiated the Iskandar Growth Region as well as the Penang monorail, second bridge and PGCC skyscraper. Yet at the same time he ‘mencari damai abadi’, promotes agriculture, cut the budget deficit and adopts a simple Kampong Sg. Penchala lifestyle. Very contradicting!

AT LAST!
If Pakatan wins the election in 2012/13, and given that Keadilan has the majority in Pakatan, then Anwar will finally be Malaysia’s PM at the ripe old age of 65. If not, Anwar will pass 70 by the next shot and would have been a have been.

It would have been redemption of a nice consolatory sort. Anwar by right has lost his chances. He was 51 went removed as deputy in 1998 and has since wasted 6 years languishing in jail and a good 10 years till 2008 altogether. Anwar is no longer the bright young Islamic firebrand student activist he was in the 70s. Those were the days. He is old.

Given those wasted years, it is now impossible for Anwar to establish a long legacy like that of Mahathir or Lee Kuan Yew, who went through long years charting numerous endeavors.

The only possible reason and purpose left for Anwar to be PM is simple to accomplish his reform agenda.

My guess is that Anwar might another Mandela or Aung Sang Su Kyi; spending an entire life fighting the institutions and establishments, only to finally win, bring about the change fought for, and bow down in victory, triumph and accomplishment. Anwar is a reformer.

It is not just the PMship, but rather the entire journey that counts.

Anwar should bank on his high local standing and international profile to move to the forefront of national and international arena even now and more so regardless of whether he become PM or not. He is already well established.

Mahathir the builder, Anwar the reformer.

ENIGMA
On one prespective is Mahathir the builder, modernizer, patriot, nationalist, international statesman and great strongman of Malaysia. On the opposite side is Mahathir the dictator who suppressed democracy, freedom and human rights.

Usually one is either the hero or the villain; very seldom both. So which is it?

PUSHING FORWARD THE DATE OF DESTINY

Our PMs are too old. You started in 1981 at 56 the retirement age. You started work when others start retirement! Abdullah was PM at 64! Muyiddin is already 62. You only became internationally well-known in your 70s. Our country is being ruled by grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Great!

Lee Kuan Yew became PM at the tender age of 42. Kennedy and Clinton took their oath in their 40s. Yet the UMNO Youth Chiefs are older.

All this about political maneuvering and position jostling all his life only to finally become PM in his twilight years…

TO DR.M: N’S TURN

N should be pushing your buttons by now. He has gone against you in:

1. Pushing for Umno to skip the Penanti by-election
2. Venturing into nuclear energy
3. Procrastinating on the Crooked Bridge and in favour of a third bridge
4. Appointing two of your unsavory ones into his Government and cabinet
5. Being a weak and totally obedient deputy to PLah
6. Appointing (as quoted in certain sources) PLah’s proxy in Petronas. By the way I wonder what happened to the forth floor?

In addition he is presiding over a very weak government and is facing a strong M and C case.

9 PROBLEMS including 7 AGAINST YOU! You only attacked PLah after 3 years. This time it’s hardly 3 months. Don’t wait for another 3 years. You might not be there then. This time act fast.

PLah too has reasons to be angry. N has totally discarded everything and anything introduced by PLah, such as in public service, institutional reforms, corridors, biotech, value added, first world mentality, etc. It’s like for as if it has never been introduced in the first place. There has been no continuity or follow-up. It’s back to square one. However PLah has given his strong word not to attack N in public. So now what, PLah?

Is Dr. M going to strike again? Two former PMs attacking this time? Two PMs taken down by Dr. M? Will Rafidah make a comeback? Alas, what else can Muhyiddin do but to quitely obey.

LEGACY AND LEGENDS: SELF-PROMOTION
Even singers, actors and other artists have their managers and promoters do their promotion. They conduct surveys and market studies to counter competition and find the right music genre or market niche for their artists. Life is a constant battle. There is nothing wrong planning and charting one’s own popularity, success and ultimately legacy.

HITS/VIEWS - i'm not too sure if this is an accurate measurement as some might be repeat viewers. Remember, the world has 6 billion people! What is a few million.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD PERHAPS - are you the youngest looking 84-year old in history? Are you the 'youngest' old man?

PRINCIPLE - the VK video clip, your lawyer against Anwar, called you an 'OLD MAN'...and not too politely that is. So...is he still your lawyer?

PAK LAH - this man tried to make you small again by pushing you into a corner and forcing you to do little things such as attend small forums, be a delegate at a division meeting, attend court hearings and so forth...thing a great elder statesman by nature is beyond and exempted from. I shall speak more about PAK LAH later.

ELDER STATESMAN - time to play your role as an elder statesman of Asia and the World. Do the things elder statesmen do.

GET THAT NOBEL PRIZE - you are probably one of the few among great men left not to have won the coveted Nobel Peace Prize. Find ways to be nominated; lobby, be active internationally, whatever. Almost everyone from Mandela to Arafat has won it. More so you have been vocal in many international affairs such as Mid East, Apartheid and Bosnia; it would be strangely lacking not to have the prize.

NOW IS THE BEST TIME - you are free! You are no longer PM therefore whatever you say will have no implication whatsoever for Malaysia and its foreign relations be it economic or diplomatic-wise. So...just go for it! Curse and lambaste the west and whoever as much as you want. And the attention in return will be good for you and M'sia.

CREDIBILITY
Now the DAP and PAS have zero credibility. The minute Anwar was dumped immediately they opened their arms in welcome. Then when Mahathir fought Abdullah there stood this picture Nasharuddin Isa of PAS shaking hand with Mahathir and the rest of the PAS gang attending his speeches.

Policy-wise PAS wants an Islamic state whereas DAP wants a Malaysian Malaysia. However as opposition and particularly after the Anwar incident they join NGOs in fighting for justice and human rights which is way out of their respective lines.

By right the only party which has any credibility whatsoever in fight such causes is Keadilan/Justice Party for obvious reasons; justice spells justice. However even Keadilan is questionable, as they are made up mainly of Anwar supporters and was formed with the original and obvious reason of freeing Anwar and sending him back into mainstream politics, hopefully all the way up to Putrajaya.

So this leaves the NGOs and activists as the only true blue advocates of justices, human rights and the likes.

HISTORY-TWO WAYS
History can go two ways.

Scenario 1
Anwar will be remembered as a truly international icon and beacon of freedom, democracy and human right (as well as this great bridge between the East and West), whereas Mahathir will be remembered as the lesser Asian/Malaysian strongman who defamed Anwar and threw this great man into jail, true to all his authoritarian ways.

Scenario 2
Mahathir will be remembered as this great Statesman and national hero of Malaysia, as well as a champion of the Islam and the 3rd world, whereas Anwar will be the infamous power-crazy deputy who tried to topple this great man for his own selfish ends.

Which scenario will it be? How will history play out and play back these two figures? Who will prevail?

INTERNATIONAL EVENTS
International events hosted in Malaysia
–international events are NEVER hosted in a small or unknown country.

I would just like to note it is usually big or prominent countries that do the hosting. Under Mahathir Malaysia had the rare opportunity and privilege of hosting such major events.

E-VILLAGE
A few quick point/queries on the E-village…

Why just Hollywood? What about the world largest film industry in Mumbai aka Bollywood? And what about the world’s 3rd largest film industry comprising Hong Kong’s big cinema and even bigger TV network TVB? Moreover these two can identify more with us being Asian and Malaysia can easily fit both having substantial Chinese and Indian population. Besides celebrity from Bollywood and Hong Kong have long been making films here as well as coming to Malaysia for concerts, press conferences and promotions. Malaysia is no strange place to Andy Lau or Shah Rukh Khan. And not forgetting China and India have the world’s largest populations (1.3bil. and 1bil. Respectively) that translates into easily the largest viewer-ships. Who needs Hollywood?

Of course we still do. That’s why we should have planted an E-Village subsidiary in Hollywood/in Los Angeles to have co-operations or outsourcing services with the ‘big four’ Hollywood studios. There are various reasons why Hollywood would be reluctant to come to Malaysia and shoot a movie; among others the surrounding and environment is so different that it’s impossible to cheat and audiences will instantly know that scene was shot elsewhere and not the place depicted in the film. Even to save costs producer would simply head north to neighbouring Canada. The only reason they would come to this part of the world is if the film was set in Malaysia or at least in Asia; and what are the odds of that happening in a Hollywood movie? It’s all about America. Aliens attack….America; Transformers crash-land in…America; Ghostbusters bust ghosts in New York (in America!)…it’s all in America!

Big guns might most likely look down on the E-Village, but what about independent films, documentaries, short films, cartoons, miniseries, B-rated movies (even though I generally hate them), made-for-TV films and the likes? Couldn’t we have targeted those as well? What about Europe (even though their films are probably as bad as Malaysia?)

IS MUHYIDDIN FOR REAL?

Before this in Bloomberg DR.M said there is no choice but Najib. After moving up (and everyone starts panicking as to who is going to be deputy) then DR.M says that Muhyiddin is the only one who has any change whatsoever of being DPM, and attend Muhyiddin's Raya open house (for the first time in history) just to make that point.

Just in case you didn’t know Muhyiddin is already 62 and a good 6 years older than his boss Najib. This means when Najib retires say 10 years later at 66, great-grandfather Muhyiddin would then be PM at 72! Or does someone think Najib is going to get the boot into early retirement?

Is this guy for real, or is he going to be another G. Baba / Abdullah / Goh Chok Tong / interim PM / caretaker / seat-warmer? / deputy for life?

HOLLYWOOD
I was wondering…perhaps you should consider a gig in Hollywood. Ever considered? Collaborate on a movie or make a cameo (guess star) appearance or even appear as a guess on American Idol. It’s would be easier for you because you are already well-known. You won’t have to audition.

NOW IS THE BEST TIME –
1. You are free! You are no longer PM therefore whatever you say will have no implication whatsoever for Malaysia and its foreign relations be it economic or diplomatic-wise. So...just go for it! Curse and lambaste the west and whoever as much as you want. And the attention in return will be good for you and M'sia.

2. You are no longer bogged down by the teeming daily affairs and cheer workload of being PM. You have much free time. Besides, what is a few publicity stunts here and there.

3. Leverage on your name to get tickets into world forums and international affairs. I’m sure your requests won’t be turned down just like that. Self-appoint and self-invite and make those headlines.

4. It might be a million years before another great man steps intro our shores. You must make full use of your position and stature.

5. Besides this will also be good for Malaysia. This is national service. You cannot betray the trust and honour of elder statesman the world (or at least Asia) has bestowed upon you.

NETWORK
To Naj, Muh and other future M’sian leaders, learn from Mahathir and Anwar on how to network, make friends abroad and put Malaysia on the world map.

To Rafidah, why didn’t she, in all her TWENTY YEARS as INTERNATIONAL trade and industry minister, establish any sort of relationship whether personal or business with any prominent head of states or prominent figure, establish her international image and set the path towards becoming PM?

And to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi; FOREIGN minister NINE years around the world, and another 9 as DPM and PM, and not a single foreign contact made. Great. After becoming DPM he flies straight back into his kampong and goes back from Foreign Minister to Pak Lah. Even greater. No one knows him by name (abroad); they just call him ‘sir’. He can’t speak English well; and he can’t speak well at all. He has very bad PR esp. in the west; and he wants to be this great Islamic world statesman adorned by Bush, Blair and the Arab world. In return he was snubbed by Bush in the White House (no questions) and Blair in Davos (ignored when spoken). Very few interviews by international news networks, except a very few by CNN and CNBC. The Great Fifth PM of Malaysia. Great. Siapa lantik Abdullah?

In contrast Anwar just after Obama’s speech in Cairo was interviewed by the big guns CNN, BBC, Bloomberg and France 24.

AMERICANS (INWARD LOOKING)
Of course the Americans are inward looking. They are the greatest civilization today; the middle-kingdom; the all in all. They have the best of everything. There is nothing they need from outside.

Salams Tun dan kesemua bloggers

Jika di benarkan, ingin saya usulkan yang berikut:
Selalu Tun mengajak blogger utarakan pandangan2 dan komen2 mengenai isu2 yang Tun ketengahkan.

Dan selalunya adalah mengenai kelemahan dan ketidak sempurnaan pengelola kerajaan.

Dan ramai bloggers yang mengikut arah arus perbincangan topik topik yang di utarakan.

Dan ramai yang selalu mengeloh tentang kekurangan layanan atau pembahagian keistimewaan kerajaan terhadap mereka baik orang Melayu, Cina, India atau yang lain lain.

Mengapa Tun tidak mengutarakan topik bagaimana seseorang rakyat itu,baik bangsa Melayu, Cina atau India, harus memeriksa diri dan cuba perbaiki diri sendiri, dalam pembelajaran, minda and daya usaha diri.

Memang lebih senang mengkritik orang/pihak lain daripada mengkritik diri sendiri kan.....?

Apakah kesemua bloggers termasuk saya, jua Tun sendiri sudah melakukan yang terbaik untuk diri sendiri, untuk keluarga, untuk kaum dan untuk negara....?

Apakah yang boleh kita, kesemua bloggers termasuk saya, jua Tun sendiri, boleh lakukan untuk perbaiki diri sendiri, untuk keluarga, untuk kaum dan untuk negara....?

Tidak kah benar kekata :
Bukan la apa negara boleh buat untuk kita, tetapi apa kita boleh lakukan untuk negara.....

Tun,

Since when UMNO/You care about constitution?

During your time, if it's not right, you went and change the constitution (of course saying there are more than 2/3 in the Parliament agreeing with you).

And the most recent onee in Perak. Even it was clearly stated in the Perak State Constitution and yet the Speaker and the MB can be easily removed. Wtf?

So since when you care as long as it's not going against your way?

WONG

Dear Tun Dr M,

The power to dismiss the PM or MB is for sure in the hands of the those who have the power to appoint them. Lately there are disputes as to who is in charge and who is not. The legal tug of war in the Perak state lately is another dispute.

If at all there is any law disputed and a quick and correct decision is made then the law is said to be weak and vague. The related Constitution should be amended to ensure clarity and precision.

The disputes between the monarchy and the political party is as a result of weak constitution and other related laws.

LONE URGE

THIS IS THE VERY REASON I SIGNED INTO THIS BLOG IN THE VERY FIRST PLACE. YOU MIGHT HAVE READ THIS, BUT FOR EMPHASIS REASONS IT'S GOOD TO READ IT AGAIN. I HOPE ALSO THAT FELLOW COMMENTERS HERE AND MALAYSIANS IN GENERAL WILL ALSO SUPPORT AND ECHO MY SENTIMENTS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT WOULD BECOME OF YOU SHOULD ANWAR BECOME GREATER THAN YOU? YOUR ENTIRE LEGACY WILL BE DESTROYED. YOU WILL BE OVERSHADOWED COMPLETELY. ALREADY HE HAS ACHIEVED INTERNATIONAL STATURE AND ACCLAIM AS A DEPUTY PM! HIS RISE IS TOO METEORIC.

IS CASE YOU MISSED IT, ANWAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT I'M TELLING YOU TO DO. HE IS FORGING CLOSE TIES WITH THE USA (TODAY'S MIDDLE KINGDOM). ALREADY HE IS A REPUTABLE ISLAMIC FIGURE FROM ASIA, SO THAT SEALS HIS 'ASIAN AND ISLAMIC STATESMAN' MANTLES. NOW HE IS GOING WEST AND BY SO DOING HE CALLS HIMSELF THE GREAT BRIDGE BETWEEN THE EAST AND WEST; BETWEEN JEWS AND MUSLIMS. THIS MAKES HIM A 'UNIVERSAL' AND 'ABSOLUTE' STATESMAN AND PROBABLY THE GREATEST OF ALL LEGENDS.

AND IF YOU NOTICED CORRECTLY HE'S NOT JUST MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE US, BUT ALSO WITH ALL BIG NAMES SUCH AS HEAD OF IMF, WORLD BANK, UN SEC GEN, TURKEY, BRITAIN, CANADA, INDIA ETC. PREHAPS THIS WILL ALSO MAKE HIM BIG. AT LEAST BY DOING SO HE CAN MOVE TO THE FOREFRONT AND CENTRESTAGE OF THE WORLD AND NOT HAVE TO SNIPE FROM THE SIDELINES LIKE MOST OTHER STATESMEN ESP. FROM SMALLER COUNTRIES DO.(...LIKE A BIG FISH IN A SMALL POND)

REST BE ASSURED; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I'M NOT FINISHED. THIS IS WEIRD, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE. MALAYSIA MIGHT NOT HAVE ANOTHER GREAT MAN TILL GOD KNOWS WHEN. SECONDLY, I FEEL THAT ONE WHO HAS THE ABILITY AND TALENT SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE AND NOT LET IT GO TO WASTE.

...THEREFORE I HAVE WRITTEN THE EXACT SAME 'LEGACY AND LEGENDS: HOW GREAT IS GREAT' AS WELL AS OTHER RELEVENT THOUGHTS TO NONE OTHER THAN...ANWAR...AND ALSO RAFIDAH, WHO I FEEL IS NOT GONE UNTIL SHE IS GONE.

THE RACE IS ON.

Dear all,
Almost al the comments I read from this blog are nothing more than "BN bodek".
Don't these people get the message?
"A king can't sack a PM". and so is "Sultan can't sack MB"
Can't u use your brain to work out WHAT BN DID in PERAK WAS WRONG?

For for those who shamelessly said they used to receive pocket money and scholarship without contributing anything worthy to the country, SHAME ON U. I can't figure out why you were proud of what u received, i.e. DUDUK dan AMBIL GAJI BUTA. TAK MALU KAH?

Assalamualaikum Tun Mahathir,

I've got to admit, I can't follow your entry above. Not because of the way you put it but I've always had difficulties understanding 'lawyer language'. Any chance you can put those in Bahasa Melayu Tun?

Terima kasih Tun Mahathir

Assalamualaikum Tun
Saya amat menyayangi Tun kerana menlonjatkan Malaysia ke mercu kejayaan arena antarabangsa. Walaupun saya bukan orang Malaysia...
Terus terang saya amat kuatir jika UMNO/BN tidak berjaya memperkasakan semangat perpaduan dan semangat MELAYU dengan tidak meletakkan Kesinambongan Kesultanan Tanah Melayu... Malaysia akan menjadi sabuah REPUBLIC. Kerana tindak tanduk PR seolah-olah menjuruskan ka arah itu. Semoga tidak akan berlaku, insya Allah...

Wassalam dan semoga Tun dan Keluarga sehat wal afiat, amin...

salam ayahanda dan rakan blogger

kali ni pasal undang2 pulak

saya kurang sket ilmu pasal undang2 ni

namun saya juga tertanya apa motif peguam tersebut tanya pasal hal ni.

saya dapat rasakan yang akan berlaku satu hal nanti berkaitan isu kekuasaan sultan2 melayu.

pada masa itu,ilmu perundangan orang2 melayu mustilah kukuh dan bersedia dengan segala hujah.maklumlah,bar council sekarang pon bukan main eksen kamen lagi

nak harapkan si zaid yang baru join pkr bela sultan
jangan harapla...itu busuk punya orang
tapi adalah sangat dangkal bila tahu gaji peguam RM2juta setahun
(zaid and CO)

Dear Tun,

The recent decision by the Court of Appeals in the Perak MB issue is against the basic principles of Democracy. In short, I would say it is a decision that is undemocratic and ultra virus the Malaysian constitution.

I sincerely hope that the Federal court will therefore swiftly overturn the moronic COA decision and return Malaysia to Democracy again.

In the event the above did not happen, it is better for Malaysia to stop calling itself a democratic nation. This will only bring us back to square one, i.e. pre- Merdeka days! Perjuangan rakyat masih belum lagi selesai!!! Back to MERDEKA struggle again!!

Cheers!

Harap UMNO akan menang juga akhirnya.. Amin

Memang mengikut Perlembagaan negara, seorang Raja tidak boleh memecat seorang Perdana Menteri atau Menteri Besar.

http://blog4pro.blogspot.com/2009/06/perak-sultan-has-no-explicit-powers-to.html

Namun apa yang berlaku diPerak tidak menyatakan demikian.

Keputusan Mahkamah Persekutuan seolah-olah memberi kuasa membenarkan Raja memecat seorang Menteri Besar berdasarkan andaian yang ia telah kehilangan majoriti dewan walaupun tiada undian pernah diadakan didewan.

Justeru itu artikel Tun kali ini juga seolah-olah menidakkan keputusan Mahkamah Persekutuan.
http://globalbreakingnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/judgement-sultan-was-right-not-to.html

Salam Tun,

The DYMM Agung have NO authority to sack the PM but the DYMM Agung have the POWER to do so. There is a different between Authority and Power as in the constitution the DYMM Agung cannot remove PM but the word DISCRETION to appoint and since the DYMM Agung have the DISCRETION to appoint and too the DYMM Agung have the power to remove based on his DISCRETION as if the DYMM Agung find that the PM is NOT capable to run a country based on factors.

Also, being the HIGHEST symbolic for the Rakyat, DYMM Agung have ALL the POWER and RIGHT to give the best to her RAKYAT and it is NOT interfering any politics as the DYMM is PROTECTING Rakyat as the Monarch of a country.

But today senario will deteriote the supremacy of Malay simply the Malay is stabbing each others and the Non-Malay are watching the show and laugh over it. The Malay is willing to "sell" their right just to stay afloat in politic instead of strenghtening their knowledge and supremacy to govern others and sooner or later the others will govern the malay.

Dear Tun,

My view is, change the Constitution then.

If the King can ensures Malays and Islam are protected, then give them their right to fully exercise their power. They have to nevertheless act in the best interest of all.

We have reached the pinnacle where the future of Islam and Malays in this country are at stake.

With all the dramas that we are seeing today, it is sad to see that no concerted effort are being garnered by any of the political parties to ensure the survival of Islam and Malays.

If my fact is correct, the political parties are merely the custodian/administrator to the King/Sultan who is the owner of the land and all its inhabitants.

Assalamualikum.

Saya bukanlah peguam tetapi ingin melontarkan pendapat saya yang jahil ini tentang isu di atas. Berdasarkan perenggan terakhir saya memahami bahawa PM mesti meletakkan jawatan jika beliau gagal mendapat sokongan majoriti ahli dewan. Tun tidak menjelaskan disini sokongan majoriti itu mesti disahkan di dalam dewan ataupun memadai jika ahli yang tidak menyokong itu mengadap Yang Di Pertuan Agong. Jika tidak dinyatakan di dalam Perlembagaan secara jelas saya percaya Yang Di Pertuan Agong boleh menggunakan budi bicara Baginda dalam menentukan perkara ini dan PM seharusnya meletakkan jawatan berdasarkan Perlembagaan. Saya juga merasakan senario ini hampir sama dengan Perak dan Nizar wajib melepaskan jawatannya berdasarkan peruntukan Undang-Undang Tubuh Negeri Perak. Kegagalan ataupun enggan berbuat demikian adalah satu penghinaan kepada Undang-Undang Tubuh Negeri Perak dan juga kepada Institusi Beraja. Adakah wajar rakyat Perak dipimpim oleh seorang yang tidak menghormati undang-undang dan perlembagaan?

DAP, PKR dan PAS adalah kumpulan yang akan berbuat apa sahaja demi untuk memiliki kuasa. Mereka amat berbahaya kepada keamanan dan kemakmuran Negara. Jika ada pihak yang tidak sehaluan dengan mereka, akan ditentang habis-habisan tanpa diberikan peluang untuk mempertahankan diri. Lihatlah bagaimana Nik Aziz meminta Nasharuddin keluar PAS hanya kerana Nasharuddin mencadangkan kerajaan perpaduan yang akan merugikan DAP dan PKR. DAP dan PKR akan hilang taring jika PAS dan UMNO bersatu. Maka Nik Aziz telah dihasut oleh talibarut DAP dan PKR agar menolak cadangan ini. Nik Aziz terlupa tanggungjawab menjaga perpaduan UMMAH kerana tipu daya syaitan yang membantunya dahulu. Alangkah malangnya ahli PAS kerana Mursyidnya berkawan dengan syaitan yang membantunya dahulu.

Saya juga amat sedih melihat UMNO yang sedang nazak tetapi masih bernafsu besar. Ahlinya masih lena dibuai mimpi indah hingga terlalai menyahut seruan untuk bangkit berjihad mempertahankan AGAMA, BANGSA dan NEGARA. Lihatlah Lee Kuan Yew telah datang dan membuat strategi untuk menguasai NEGARA ini. Setelah Johor enggan menjualkan pasirnya kepada mereka, maka Lee Kuan Yew cuba memujuk Pahang pula agar menjualkan pasirnya kepada mereka. Inilah agendanya apabila hanya Pahang yang dikuasai oleh BN dilawati oleh Lee Kuan Yew. Ahli-ahli UMNO masih sibuk melobi projek yang bukan milik mereka. Yuran lobi yang hanya habis begitu sahaja tanpa dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kesejahteraan ekonomi keluarga dan bangsa. Inilah pekerjaan segelintir mereka yang ada sedikit kuasa dan pengaruh dalam UMNO.

Yang Dipertuan Agong tidak ada kuasa untuk memecat PM. Tetapi PM perlu meletak jawatan jika hilang kepecayaan sebahagian besar ahli Dewan Rakyat.
1. Persoalannya adalah adakah undi tidak percaya itu mandatori atau tidak? Jika sebahagian besar ahli dewan berkumpul di satu bilik dan kemudiannya istihar tidak sokong PM, adakah itu sah untuk menyatakan bahawa PM telah hilang sokongan sebahagian besar ahli dewan?
2. Jika PM yang telah hilang sokongan jumpa Agong minta bubar Dewan Rakyat tetapi Agong menolak dan mengikut perlembagaan dia hendaklah meletak jawatan tetapi enggan pula letak jawatan, apa berlaku? Siapa nak istihar PM telah disingkir dari jawatan?

Tidak perlu cakap, ramai orang pun tahu Yang Dipertuan Agong tidak boleh memecat PM tetapi jika PM enggan letak jawatan? sapa yang perlu istihar PM telah disingkirkan? Selagi PM yang hilang sokongan masih ada, dapatkah Agong lantik PM baru?

Ybhg. Tun,

Mungkin kita gembira Perak kembali kepada BN. Namun cara peralihan kuasa sangat meragukan. Keputusan institusi kehakiman makin menjelaskan keraguan tersebut.

Mungkin sekarang ada yang gembira dengan keputusan mahkamah yang membolehkan MB Perak disingkirkan dengan hanya Sultan Perak "percaya" MB Nizar telah hilang sokongan.

Apakah kita bersedia juga untuk gembira jika suatu hari nanti, YDP Agung menabalkan PM baru juga dengan alasan bahawa baginda "percaya" DS Najib telah hilang sokongan.....

A'kum Y.A.Bhg. Tun,

Tumpang lalu Tun..Sudilah kiranya Tun tolong-tolong tengokkan perkara seperti yang diketengahkan oleh 'By sujini on June 30, 2009 10:33 AM'..keistimewaan kepada pelajar/orang Melayu dalam bidang pendidikan..dulu dan sekarang..apakah perjuangan memertabatkan Melayu termasuk menyamakan hak termasuk biasiswa dan kemudahan dalam bidang ini.

Saya tengok orang kuat PTPTN 4, 5 hari lepas dalam TV kata caj 5% atau 3% ke atas pinjaman.. lebihkurang begitulah..tapi pengalaman saya pinjam PTPTN..sekarang tengah bayar..tiap-tiap bulan kena 'caj tambahan RM62' tiap-tiap bulan (ikut perjanjian kena bayar sepuluh tahun) tapi kalau macam ni, tak selesai 10 tahun..kena tambah lagi..mungkin jadi 12,13 tahun tu..Apakah ini adalah hasrat kerajaan atau depa sendiri pandai-pandai buat begitu..Saya takut pihak kerajaan tak tahu ini..buat baik ingat orang suka..tapi kalau akhirnya jadi begini, lagi orang marah ada lah.

Sekian..semoga Tun dan Tun Siti Hasmah sihat dan berbahagia selalu..ameen..wassalam.

Salam buat Tun berdua moga dirahmati Allah s.w.t.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

1)Adalah sesuatu yang tidak baik kalau kita memberi kuasa pada manusia untuk membolehkannya menjatuhkan seseorang.Malah dalam al-Quran sendiri telah mengambarkan kesalahan yang telah di rosakkan oleh makhluk bernama manusia ini..

2)Sebab itu dalam agama Islam..manusia dituntut mematuhi perintah yang memciptanya..dan telah disediakan peraturan dan undang-undang untuk menghukum seseorang.Contohnya Nabi Muhammad s.a.w menjatuhkan sesuatu perkara keatas orang lain berpandukan kata-kata Allah s.w.t dalam al-Quran.

3)Baiklah kalau pemerintah sekarang tidak mahu mengikut kata-kata Allah s.w.t sekurang-kurangnya perlu adakan undang-undang yang telah ditulis dahulu dan dipersetujui oleh semua dan diaktakan..

4)Penguasa yang diberi kuasa menghukum perlu mengikut segala perkara-perkara yang telah tertulis jenis kesalahan yang akan dikenakan mengikut cara yang telah dilakukan oleh pesalah.

5)Mengimbas kembali sejarah lampau bahawa undang-undang ciptaan manusia banyak mengundangkan permasaalahan yang tidak 'SELESAI'...Allah s.w.t pernah mengambarkan manusia yang tidak mahu mengikut arahannya akan menanggung sendiri akibat yang telah mereka lakukan...

6)Sesungguhnya Allah s.w.t maha berkuasa dari pemimpin -pemimpin yang kita benarkan di dunia ini.Ingatlah para pemimpin sekalian kuasa anda akan dinilai oleh Allah s.w.t dan anda yang memberi kuasa kepada pemimpin akan disoal siapa pemimpin sebenar mereka
disisi Allah s.w.t......

7)Kebenaran pasti akan menang.. itu janji Allah s.w.t....
WALLAHUA'LAM

askum ayahanda,
benar .Yang menjadi persoalannya apakah tujuan peguam tersebut untuk bertanyakan perkara itu?. Dan yang menyedihkan saya dia adalah seorang peguam.Sebagai peguam dia seharusnya memahami dengan lebih mendalam lagi.

Apa pun terima kasih pada ayahanda kerana artikel ini dapat memberi penerangan yang jelas kepada generasi muda kini.

Law lingo is not my strength and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Among the youth are perceptions that the monarchy holds a insignificant amount of power. Then, again youths are not smart enough to understand the consequences of such laws. Regardless, no matter how precise and effective the constitution, or how some people might see its as a constraint. We should remember that these law should be there for the RIGHT REASONS and that It's not what you do, it's how you do it that makes the difference...

It's not what you do, but how you do it

The Right Reasons

Salam kasih dan salam hormat Ayahanda Tun,
I don’t think things would go that far Tun as the King has absolute discrepancy rights not to swore in anyone the DYMM does not feels merits the post of PM, the DYMM could juts put things on hold indefinitely (although the exist a time frame, but that’s juts that - a time in frame). As is Tun, the Pakatan Rakyat is no real threat to BN. Awareness has sets in among the Malay voters and it would be hard for Pakatan Rakyat to prey in at the heartlands. By elections could not be much of an accurate indication over things at large, it is merely a topical muscle show and who could blind the voters the best may win.

What is frightening though is when DAP and PAS realizes the liability that Anwar Ibrahim and Wan Azizah actually bring into the Pakatan Rakyat. And when DAP has suddenly realized that it don’t need Anwar anymore along with his “dirty” luggage. And when they jettisoned Anwar off the wagon, and rely totally on the non Malays for votes, that is the real danger. Right now the DAP is just using PKR and PAS to create that awareness and to build up confidence among the non Malays. Once that stage is done and over with, DAP would move into the next stage of taking away Malay dominance in parliament at the ballot boxes. To be frank, Anwar and Hadi won’t even know what hit them. Events surrounding the failed PAS proposed unity talk with BN shows clearly who’s in charge in Pakatan Rakyat, who is the DAP stooge and who is the mere lembu for milk and beef (occasionally compost). So I won’t go far and worry on wheterg the DYMM could actually fire a PM or not, it won’t even have to go that far. DAP holds the non Malays now. And we are just wasting precious time with MCA, MIC, Gerakan and PPP. On the eve of UMNO downfall and exit out of power, we shall see them all going into one voice and one thunderous clap of approvals shall ensue DAP over its sterling management of the non Malays (MCA,MIC,GERAKAN&PPP) from PRU 12 to PRU 13. That’s that.

And as been said before, in this country you can win anything, shave anything or even anyone – but if the DYMM King says no can do – then it just won’t happen - no swearing in. At this point, the dumb and gullible Malay politicians who would be in expensive coats and attired in sauna inducing tropic turbans shall clamor for a place under the Panji-Panji Raja-Raja Melayu. All the dumb and gullible Malay politicians at that time, they would make sounds like the anak-ayam & anak-itik on sale at local state markets (RM10 for 3). And so our best bet today may perhaps be no longer to save the still absentminded UMNO or still stiff BN. But our best expect would be to pledge our absolute loyalty to our Raja-Raja Melayu. Daulat Tuanku!

Tun, why this happened? Well because we are a bunch of arrogant race who demand respect from every corner we stare at. That’s the problem, as sometimes in life when we get spat at, it was because we need to learn something. But we as Bumiputera, would always expect things. That’s that, we are a race of expectorants (no pharmaceutical puns intended). Bully case in school, who hog that most? Malays. Why? Because you mesti hormat saya. Saya senior. Saya special. So like a Japanese expat buddy once remarked to me, Malaysia is special. Too special for her own good at times as everyone feels that they are just too special to be part of any team at all. So we become anti establishments and we shoots down everything. But we pray rigorously to the one God and so that’s where PAS parachutes in. And we have the boiling Bumiputera issue like a sore bisul on some behinds ready to explode, and in came the opportunistic Anwar Ibrahim and PKR for the play casting. UMNO? What is UMNO doing? Sudah tidur sama Dullah Bedawi (now making short advices celah air liur basi). So who to save the day now? Our Kings. Our Raja-Raja Melayu. Tun, I believe perhaps all would work out well in the end after all.

We are the last bastion of Malays in the world to still have our Raja-Raja Melayu to count back on. Times have changed, we have change, but that institution, God had protected for us. Alhamdullilah. All praises be to Allah.

Thank you for reading my 2 cents Tun.

Thank you for reading my 2 cents Tun.

Dear Tun,

Since "Emperor" LKY has decided to come to Malaysia to fart around, I really wish you would come to Singapore to put Singapore in its place. Trust me, many more Singaporeans would welcome you with open arms than your previous visit. I would definitely attend your talk!

Salam Tun

The appointment and removal of PM is likely to remain a complex process in real life. As has been seen in the yo-yo tussle to put their man at the helm as Chief Minister between PKR and BN in Perak, it is most likely that the matter will go to every high courts in the land in order to win. That is why many people are thinking how come the High Court Judge can make a decision on Nizar and suddenly have it overturned unanimously by the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya. What is most important is that Perak is currently in a state of turmoil (although more stable now after the Court of Appeal's decision) with a very balanced Government which is bad when it comes to pushing policies good for the state because the policies must really be seen to be neutral to both sides in order to get unanimous approval.

The wordings of legal documents such as the nation' Constitution is also a barrier to clear and easy understanding. Wordings should be easy and clear and situations and scenarios should be laid out clarly. I am not a proponent of complex legal documents and terms and sentences because it is totally unnecessary and based on pride. If you have read articles from Times or Fortune, you can see how clearly the language is written and there is interest to read the article and to buy the magazine if only it wasn't so expensive.

For me, the situation is Malaysia as it is now is that the King has been reduced to be a powerless, constitutional symbol but the Council of Rulers is still strong. The King can be considered to be strong because he is still very much involved in the APPOINTMENT of the Prime Minister. The act of appointment comes before dismissal so the King still has the upper hand to select somebody more inclined to his way of thinking.

I would like to also comment on foojk's post. I do agree that if you have a strong government that does good for the people, and is fair, it is good for the country despite poor opposition but as has been shown in history and all over the world and now in Malaysia, power corrupts...and it is not very long until the BN politicians start to be tempted more by money than by doing good honest service to the people. This is what has happened to the BN causing it to lose the General Elections and many incidents have occurred which the people (such as me) are unlikely to forget. This is the problem with name and integrity...once tarnished...it is very difficult to clean. This is also why that after having much respect for Nik Aziz, I am a bit disappointed about his wild allegations about UMNO being a communist party, etc. all made in the heat of the ceramah. He should have been more controlled which he was not.

Assalam mualaikom ,

Oleh kerana topik Dr adalah berkaitan dengan PM Malaysia maka persoalaan saya ini ada sedikit kaitan dengan empunya diri (DSNajib).

Saya rasa amat khuatir , kemanakah arah tuju PM kita sekarang?
Daripada apa yang saya lihat, konsep 1Malaysia beliau akan membawa bencana kepada anak Melayu.
Sekarang ini dan dimasa-masa hadapan, Dr tolong jawab apakah keistimewaan anak Melayu yang tinggal di Malaysia?

Dulu semasa dibangku sekolah (tahun 60an) saya adalah seorang " free scholar". Ini bermakna saya tidak perlu membayar apa-apa yuran sekolah dan disamping itu saya menerima wang saku
sebanyak RM15/- sebulan.

Selepas tamat SPM saya memasuki sebuah Institiut Pengajian Tinggi dan berjaya mendapat diploma.
Semasa pengajian saya di Institiut tersebut, semua penuntut Melayu secara automatik dapat biayaan daripada kerajaan. Biayaan tersebut meliputi yuran tusyen dan wang saku untuk sebulan.
Saya terima diploma daripada Dr pada hari bersejarah itu kerana dengan kebetulan Dr adalah Menteri Pelajaran.

Selepas bekerja setahun, saya memohon biasiswa JPA untuk melanjutkan pelajaran saya keluar negara. Semasa itu saya bukanlah penuntut yang cemerlang tetapi diatas keistimewaan yang diberi kerana saya anak Melayu dan mengambil jurusan kejuruteraan , saya berjaya dalam temuduga tersebut. Walaupun begitu saya dikenakan ikatan kontrak dengan kerajaan.

Bila tiba zaman pengajian anak-anak saya , kami terpaksa membayar segala yuran untuk mereka. Kalau nak bantuan kena mohon PTPTN. Syukur Alhmadulilah dengan rezeki yang diberi oleh Allah swt. kami dapat menampong yuran-yuran mereka tanpa sebarang bantuan kewangan.

Jadi persoalan saya sekarang ialah, semakin menempuh kemajuan, semakin bertukar pemimpin,
semakin nasib anak Melayu menjadi nasib sabut timbul nasib batu tenggelam?
Kalau anak Melayu di tanah air sendiri perlu berjuang bermati-matian seperti keadaan orang-orang Afrika-Amerika di Amerika , apakah makna menjadi rakyat Malaysia, 1Malaysia?

Sekiranya anak-anak Melayu (di kampong-kampong) sekarang dan dimasa-masa hadapan perlu menghadapi persaingan yang sengit apakah ibu-bapa mereka cukup berkeupayaan menanggong segala pembiayaan pengajian mereka tanpa berhutang?
Kepada ibu bapa yang berharta , yang mempunyai sawah padi, tanah ladang bolehlah menjual harta mereka untuk menampong pembiayaan pengajian anak-anak mereka, tetapi bagaimanakah ibu-bapa yang tidak berharta, (penduduk bandar yang miskin) yang kais pagi makan pagi, kais petang makan petang?

Adakah pemimpin Melayu kita menggalakkan kaumnya sendiri berhutang , bergolok dan bergadai seperti zaman dulu-dulu sebelum dan sesudah merdeka?
Apa jadi dengan pemimpin Melayu kita sekarang yang sudah "love Indians , love Chinese?"

SALAM TUN DAN MALAYSIA,

SELAGI ADA HAYAT, MINDA JIWA DAN RAGA TUN AMAT DI PERLUKAN UNTUK MEMBANTU MENGEMBALIKAN MALAYSIA KEPADA LANDASAN YG KUKUH AGAR IA TIDAK AKAN SESEKALI TERGELINCIR DALAM MEMBAWA BANGSA MALAYSIA MENEMPUHI MASA DEPAN YG AMAT BERCELARU.

DI BLOG TUN INI ADALAH GAMBARAN SEBENAR DARI RAKYAT SELURUH PELUSUK NEGARA...SAMADA YG MENYOKONG ATAU YG MENGHENTAK TUN...SEMUANYA DARI ALAM NYATA MALAYSIA.....

so.. we need you compare this situation with Perak fiasco...

Morning Tun,

Then the question which begs to be asked is if the King can rightly determine if and when the Prime Minister has "failed to command the majority of the members in the House of Representatives".

The recent Court of Appeal judgment seems to suggest that a monarch has the right to "determine" when a Menteri Besar has "lost the majority of support in the House".

Cheers

It seems that the Insurance Companies in Europe are pulling out and excluding Venzuela from 'insured' status because of Hugo Chavez's policy of Nationalisation.

Could this be an opportunity for our Insurance companies or consortium to take advantage of this?

Do we have the strength?

Hugo is definitely the boss (Hugo Boss) by defying the economic hitman of the USA!

Just to get your attention on a topic that i'm fascinated about:

Tun you are a visionary!

on this one, now i'm convinced that Anwar Ibrahim is a traitor!..submitting to IMF and economic hitman!

For your info,your name is also mentioned in the book "Shock and Awe" - Naomi Klein. She mentioned that amongst Southeast Asian Countries Malaysia under Mahathir did not succumb to IMF pressure...

on this one concerning freemasons,fed reserve etc.

With regards to elected leaders you are right on the dot! Constitutional Monarch can only advise and recommend..

Azuwar Adib

Kes ni sama lebih kurang mcm kat perak je..

Assalamualaikum & Salam Kesihatan khas buat Tun Dr.M + Tun CT,
Semoga Ayahanda Bonda, Tun berdua sihat dan ceria.

Perlembagaan Malaysia meletakkan kuasa Agong berada di kedudukan yang tinggi, tetapi dalam masa yang sama, kuasa Agong juga tertakluk di bawah undang-undang. Malaysia sebuah negara yang unik dan seluruh warganya patut patuh terhadap Perlembagaan yang digunapakai.

Sebuah negara berdaulat. Sebuah negara yang menjadi contoh kepada banyak negara lain. Inilah Malaysia.

Sayang Malaysia - SOKONGLAH KERAJAAN YANG ADA.
Benci Malaysia - CUBA-CUBALAH MENUKAR KERAJAAN, PASTI HANCUR.
Pilihan di tangan rakyat.

Hi Tun,

Yes , as per my understanding the King is not empowered by the Constitution to sack PM.Nevertheless, directly or indirectly PM is elected through the general election by the people and the worriness now is whether Najib will be the last PM for BN as Pakatan Rakyat seems to be favourable under current politic scenario in our country.The opposition is needed to stand in as a 'balance checker' and not be given the power to rule as they do not have experience neither the expertise to govern.Some of the states under them current are under chaotic situation and we do not wish to see that happen in our country (should they rule). BN has then have to buck up fast in order to win back the confidence and the trust of our citizen.
