ROB... Chedet.Co.Cc January 13, 2009 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Dear ROB... Chedet.co.cc January 13, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad Dear Rob, 1. I hope this is your name. I am always saddened by the ignorance of the average American. Yet America is so powerful that directly or indirectly it rules the world. For a country with ignorant people to rule the world it is an unmitigated disaster. 2. Clearly you have never been to Malaysia. But if I may say so we are not obsolete. But I admit we have only primitive weapons for our defence. You can, with a few nuclear bombs wipe our country from the surface of this earth. 3. Sorry for the 3,000 of your innocent citizens incinerated in their place of employment. At least three of those incinerated were actually Malaysians. I understand hardly any Jews were in the building. They were not incinerated. 4. But consider the 300,000 Vietnamese, 50,000 Afghans, 100,000 Iraqis whom you have killed. Mostly they were not soldiers. They were not working in the offices either. They were babies, schoolchildren, sick men and women in hospitals. Of course they could all be terrorists, including the babies and the schoolchildren. 5. Who are terrorists? Are they only the suicide bombers? What about the countries, which sent their soldiers, air force, navy with tanks and guns and rocket launchers, and bomber and fighter planes to shock and awe and to kill people by the thousands. Aren't their victims (the children, old men and women, the sick in the hospitals) terrified when they hear bombers flying above, when bombs and shells burst around them, killing their fathers and mothers, their brothers and sisters; when any time they themselves would be blown to pieces. Aren't they terrified? 6. If they are terrified aren't the people who terrify them also terrorists? If you have a right to kill "terrorists" (also to detain and torture them), then they have a right to kill the terrorists who attacked and kill them and their people. I don't like terrorism but I also don't like terrorism by Governments. Both terrify. 7. We are primitive of course because we defend ourselves with primitive weapons. You train your children to kill by launching rockets from a thousand miles away, bombing with planes beyond the range of the primitive guns of your victims. You don't have to be frightened of us. But we must be frightened of the murdering bullies whom you think so highly of. 8. Saddam had killed people and buried them in mass graves. You kill many times more Iraqis, Afghans and Vietnamese and left them unburied, to rot and to be eaten by dogs. Remember My Lai? 9. May I know who were fed to the lions by Saddam. You must be absolutely ignorant if you are not aware how unfettered capitalism has actually destroyed your own country. 10. Yes the United Nations is a waste of money. That is because the US prevents it from carrying out its work to restore peace and justice in this world. 11. I think you need to go to school to improve your knowledge and understanding of what is happening around you, not American school of course because obviously they don't teach anything beyond glorifying the genocides perpetrated by you throughout history. 298 Comments By LuCakap ke LuCeritaAuthor Profile Page on January 13, 2009 5:35 PM Dear Rob, Its ok being stupid, but please do not show it. By IdolAuthor Profile Page on January 13, 2009 5:41 PM Thats MY TUN! By cakkuncakAuthor Profile Page on January 13, 2009 5:47 PM Dear Rob, Hope you can learn a lesson or two from our "primitive" former Prime Minister - who envisioned among many things;the tallest twin tower in the world in this 'primitive' country of ours. Can you say the same about Bush or Barack ? What have they envision? Bush are taking American back to the stone age where life of innocents are considered as collaterals while Barack is silenced and numbed. In the event that somehow you did not notice - The United States of America and Israel are the ones now acting just like the early primates in the evolution of the human species. And you say we are primitive? hmmm....I also hope your name is Rob and not Neanderthal.

If your country is soooo right, why are people around the world critizing USA and Israel ???. If USA use the power they had to contribute, being fair and protective of the unfortunate, certainly people around the world will be right at your back. Your country will have an enormous support. I hope this article should arouse some suspicioun and reconsider what your county is doing. I agree that nobody have the right to kill your 3000 citizen ( without even considering that other countries are in there as well ). However, how is it ever rightful to kill people ?? The opinion and the support certainly have a great impact because you are American's yourself. With a lot of American's aware of this, you can change USA to be a better USA.

The reason I boycott US products because I am fed up with these ignorant Mr Rob - bers who were taught to rob others with destructive instruments by creating fear and hatred to show the world that they are powerful by butchering and killing hundred thousands of innocent Asian lives. Mr Rob or Mr NEMO (Clown Fish), please tell your President Obama that the world dislikes him, the only American whom I respect is Michael Moore!!!! Tun, take care. By kemamangAuthor Profile Page on January 13, 2009 6:29 PM Dear Rob. When I first introduced myself before your fellow American in the upper economics class at the University of Tennessee back in 1983, they were so amused and thrilled to know that Malaysia existed and actually could be found in the South East Asia. Likewise, I was so amused and excited by the chance that I had to teach the WHOLE CLASS a very primary geography lesson instead. Mind you, they were all bunch of juniors. On the contrary, we in Malaysia then had pretty good knowledge about America through the syllabus we studied in Stardard six and Form Four. Not confining to America alone, nations located on the other continentals too. In a nut shell, we may be primitive by comparisons, but, in reality, we don't look at things through a tunnel vision!

This was especially true in the eighties when there was political backing to administrative reforms and what appeared to be a permanent agenda on such reforms by top administrative leadership. In order to anticipate challenges brought by globalization and economic liberalization, the civil service has to be more efficient in the frontline, whereas frontier agencies must instill a global mindset, meaning they must observe the world from a broad perspective.

  • Malaysia Has Been a Successful Developing Country and Is Forging Ahead to Become a Developed Nation in Its Own Mould
    MESSAGE RT. HON. DATO' SERI ABDULLAH HAJI AHMAD BADAWI PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA Malaysia has been a successful developing country and is forging ahead to become a developed nation in its own mould. In order to be more successful, our nation has to be managed effectively and its weaknesses and shortcomings have to be overcome. A major challenge it has to address in this endeavor is the strengthening of ethics and integrity. The government has implemented the Prime Minister's Directive No. I of 1998 which aims to enhance the integrity of the management in government administration. This has been done namely through the setting up of the Integrity Management Committee in all ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government as well as the State Governments. However, there is no mechanism thus far to involve other sectors, such as the private sector, political parties, non-government organizations, religious groups, the media, women, youth and students in an integrated and coordinated movement to enhance integrity. It is in this regard that the government has formulated the National Integrity Plan (NIP) which will act as a master plan to guide all of the above sectors. The formulation of the NIP is predicated upon the spirit and principles of the Federal Constitution, the philosophy and principles of the Rukun Negara as well as the aspirations of Vision 2020. The overall objective of the NIP is to fulfill the fourth challenge of Vision 2020, namely, "to establish a fully moral and ethical society whose citizens are strong in religious and spiritual values and imbued with the highest ethical standards." The NIP is an integrity plan that has evolved from the aspirations of our people and our country.

  • Approaches to Fighting Corruption and Managing Integrity in Malaysia: a Critical Perspective
    Journal of Administrative Science Vol. 8, Issue 1, 47-74, 2011 Approaches to Fighting Corruption and Managing Integrity in Malaysia: A Critical Perspective Noore Alam Siddiquee ABSTRACT The Government of Malaysia has made continuous efforts and put in place an elaborate set of strategies and institutions aimed at combating corruption and promoting integrity in the society. The nation’s anti-corruption drive received a major boost in 2003 when the new government under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi declared containing corruption as its main priority which was followed by a series of other measures. However, the governmental attempts and strategies in Malaysia appear to have met with little success, as evidenced by the current data that suggests entrenched corruption in the society. Evidence shows that despite governmental campaigns and initiatives, corruption has remained acute and widespread. This paper presents a critical overview of the anti-corruption strategies being followed in Malaysia and explores some of the problems and limitations of the current approach to fighting corruption and managing integrity in the society. Keywords: corruption, public integrity, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, political culture, patronage, money politics. Introduction Although corruption is not a new phenomenon, lately it has become a matter of growing concern all over the world. This is partly because of the changing economic and political environment around the globe and ISSN 1675-1302 © 2011 Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia 47 Journal of Administrative Science partly because of the growing consensus in both academic and policy circles of the negative impacts of corruption on socio-economic development.

  • E-Government Initiatives in Malaysia and the Role of the National Archives of Malaysia in Digital Records Management
    e-Government Initiatives in Malaysia and the Role of the National Archives of Malaysia in Digital Records Management by Shaidin Shafie National Archives of Malaysia Abstract The implementation of electronic government started with the initiation of Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) by the Malaysian government. The first part of this paper is about the implementation of e-government in Malaysia, covering the status of the implementation, and the potential for growth in providing better services to the public. The next section is about the role of the National Archives of Malaysia in digital records management, as well as the challenges faced by the National Archives in preserving digital records. 1.0 Introduction In 1997, the Malaysian Government launched the Electronic Government initiative, generally known as e-Government, to reinvent itself to lead the country into the Information Age. As far as Malaysia is concerned, the implementation of e- government was initiated with the introduction of the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) in 1996. The implementation of e-Government in Malaysia heralds the beginning of a journey of reinventing the government by transforming the way it operates, modernising and enhancing its service delivery. E-Government seeks to enhance the convenience, accessibility and quality of interactions with the public and businesses at large. Simultaneously, it will improve information flow and processes within the government, improve the speed and quality of policy development, and improve coordination and enforcement. This would enable the government to be more responsive to the needs of its citizens. (The Multimedia Super Corridor). E-government is one of the seven flagship applications introduced in MSC.
