SHARING Chedet.cc 2 May 2013 Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad
1. Malaysia has enjoyed more than half a century of peace and stability and high growths under BN coalition Governments. The seizure of power by the Malay majority upon independence as predicted by foreign observers and some locals did not happen.2. Instead under the Tunku they promoted a sharing of power and wealth between the three major races through a coalition, the Alliance. The Alliance won 51 out of 52 of the 98 Federal Legislative Council seats contested in 1955. The Tunku as Chief Minister agreed with Sir Cheng Lock Tan’s request and gave one million citizenship to unqualified Chinese and Indians, diluting the Malay majority from 80% to 60%.
3. In 1963 Singapore joined the new state of Malaysia. The PAP did not believe in sharing power. It promoted meritocracy, rule by the elites, by suggesting that Malaysia was not ruled by the cleverest and the most qualified but by Malays. This was intended to stop Chinese support for the MCA and antagonise them against the Malays and UMNO.
4. In 1964 elections the PAP contested with the Malaysian Malaysia slogan to reflect its meritocratic creed. It won only one seat. The Chinese in the Peninsular, under the MCA rejected the PAP.5. The people of the Peninsular, in rejecting the PAP demonstrated their belief in the concept of “kongsi” or sharing espoused by the Alliance. Singapore and its chauvinistic meritocrats had to leave Malaysia.
6. But a Trojan horse was left behind in the form of a political party named DAP. The similarity of name is not accidental for the DAP was to continue the fight for a meritocratic Malaysian Malaysia. The fight against “kongsi” between the races was to continue.
7. Despite a claim that the DAP is multiracial, its leadership and the overwhelming majority of its members belied the claim to this day. The strategy was to antagonise the Chinese against the Malays by suggesting that the Chinese were second class citizens.
8. This campaign was quite subdued when the Barisan National Government won strong support from people of all races in Malaysia. But as soon as the Government appeared to be weak the DAP extremists were let loose and the attacks against the Malays became blatant to the point of claiming that the Malays are as much newcomers to Malaysia as the Chinese and Indians. There should therefore be no special treatment for them. The DAP conveniently forgets the special treatment accorded to the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia.
9. The growth and prosperity of this multiracial country depend largely on Sino Malay cooperation or kongsi. The Barisan National exemplifies this kongsi spirit. To break this kongsi the DAP must antagonise the Chinese against the Malays.
10. Through all the elections in Malaysia the people of Johore have personified the kongsi principle. In every election the Malays would support the MCA Chinese and the Chinese would support the UMNO Malay candidates resulting in Johore delivering 100% BN victories.
11. Now Kit Siang has decided it is time to break up the kongsi. True the Chinese majority in Gelang Patah is smaller than the other constituencies Kit Siang had contested. But Kit Siang hopes with the support of PAS he can split Malay votes, so as to defeat BN. Now UMNO is contesting Gelang Patah with little hope of getting Chinese support.
12. Kita Siang does not agree with the Islamic state and Islamic laws proposed by PAS but that party’s ability to break Malay unity in Johore would benefit DAP. Kit Siang knows that PAS would never be strong enough to impose its version of the Islamic laws in Malaysia if Pakatan wins.
13. Kit Siang is more wily than any of PAS’s leaders. He also knows that PAS needs the support of the Chinese in order to defeat UMNO. He holds the trump card in any “pakatan” of the opposition.
14. Johore is a Barisan National bastion. If it is broken then he could put an end to the MCA’s cooperation with UMNO under the old “kongsi” or sharing concept. Instead there would be meritocracy in everything where the winner takes all and the devil takes the hindmost.
15. A win for Kit Siang will be victory for racism and rule by the elites as is found in a nearby country. It will spell the end of good relations in Johore between the races.
16. Victory for Ghani Othman will mean a sharing of power and wealth of this country between all races and tribes in multi racial Malaysia.

Salam YABhg Tun,
My Chinese friends are now openly questioning why GLCs are seemingly ‘reserved’ for Bumis only. They are agitated when the GLC Heads flaunt their wealth and behaving arrogantly as if the world owes them a living especially when their capabilities are nowhere near what their job demands.
While some of these GLC Heads were useful during YABhg Tun’s time, a lot of them have past their expiry date and are now creating unhealthy cliques within the organizations.
Maybe a re’visit’ is necessary now. These GLC Heads who act like royalties have now become an issue even amongst the pro government bloggers.
They are hoping that the PM will have the courage to do something immediately.
A reflection on today’s GLCs… http://badmoonrisingblog.wordpress.com/2013/05/27/glcs and ketuanan melayu/

Specially for Rahman2012. Vignettes from the Past.
‘Have you ever seen RM 1 Million in cash ?’ asked my Singaporean banker friend who has since became firm friends with me after I took over his listed company in which he had sold down his shares to embark on another venture. His hands reached out to open the safe’s door and swung it open for me. I had to peer long and hard before I could discern the pile of banknotes in the dark recessess of the safe. Since then, I never saw another safe in a bank manager’s office again. And to add to my curiosity, it was rumoured his Chairman had a bigger safe ! This unbecoming story happened this way. After the Indonesian Confrontation, I got stuck with a huge block of this listed company shares. By chance, a friend had another large block and joined up with me to take over this listed company – this was the very first take over of a listed company by any investor in the country. I ended up with 75% control. But before I could consummate the deal, the Singaporean banker got his local kaki to ring me up via Tan Chye Mian (who passed away a few days ago at 92 !) who said, ‘ I have been given a message for you by XYZ to tell you that you should not be too harsh on the Chairman or else your relationship with Tan Siew Sin will be in jeopardy.’ I sensed this would be forthcoming and retorted,’ Please tell XYZ not to worry as I am a business person only interested in business and has no intentions of upsetting any one.’ Little did XYZ know that my family and Tan Siew Sin were in India during World War 2 and if I had reported this incident to him, I doubt if the duo would have made it to the 21st century. Of course, I did nothing of the kind. Let sleeping dogs lie as the saying goes.
Where are you MCA, the Gerakan, the DAP ? Penniless Singaporeans found it so easy to pluck the low hanging fruits (to quote a Singaporean parachutist after 2003) in our beloved Malaysia’s bountiful garden. And yet, for over 55 years, a straightforward issue like the Mandarin language is still a matter of controversy unnecessarily. How MCA, the Gerakan and the DAP ?

It is a wonder why the Opposition with the very Chinese Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, the very rich PKR and the very pious PAS failed again at the ballot box. The Opposition was fully backed by the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 9 failed Policies for Singapore, the American Liberals, the Knights of Rizal, and the Round Table, Xeonophon the Greek who should be claiming his own Elgin Marbles from the British, all journalists from afar, tons and tons of money (what a waste !). These are powerful and mighty stuff. And yet the BN as led by the UMNO with the 14 component parties won hands down.
Maybe it was the wrong strategy for the Opposition to launch the campaigns of the cast of thousands and thousands. Have’nt they got something new to win at the ballot box ? Maybe the leadership is too narrow at the top and exclusive as the Press reported today because of too many secret messages flying to and fro. Are huge public demonstrations the only weapon to disrupt the normalcy of the BN Government ? Or the Opposition is responding to some little ‘red’ book on how to gain power with unyielding force through street demonstrations. After the failure to achieve power at the ballot box, will there be any chance that the Opposition can gain power through the force of huge street demonstrations. The answer is ‘NO’.
Those who sit in the comfort of their living rooms or enjoying a tete a tete in some salons far far away should be ashame of themselves for providing money, precious money, for unproductive and destructive purposes. Surely these people must have some conscience in line with the finest traditions of the Western civilizations which were derived from the cradle of Western democracy which was Athens and Rome. And now we have copy cats of Arab Spring right here on our door step because these copy cats are not aware that we had Malay Spring as long ago as 1946 with the aborted Malayan Union. Where were you good billionaires of the West in 1946 ?
The Opposition with the backing of the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew with his 9 failed Policies for Singapore failed to takeover the Government of Malaysia since 1969, 2008, and 2013. The chances of the Opposition taking over in 2018 are slim. The best year was 2008 when the BN was compromised externally and internally.
It is now imperative for the BN as led by the UMNO with the 14 component parties to conduct the affairs of Government normally concomitant with the rule of law and transparency. Patience is the watchword as the Opposition will now grasp at any straw to keep their camaraderie alive. And if the MCA succeeds to pull up their socks with a new crew, the Opposition can say good bye to their much desired power ambitions again in 2018 !

For all Bloggers. Vignettes from the Past.
We were standing in his expansive office with the double volume ceiling and the sky high glass windows looking across to the the Sultan’s Istana on the far side of the distant hill with this superlative highway with the fast flowing traffic just a few kilometres away. The tycoon was known to have a fierce temper and choice words would flow from his mouth when his ire is up. But at that moment, he was cool calm and collected as he was pleased to meet me for the very first time and to solve his problem over char kway teow at his favourite bistro in a downtown hotel. I was very curious to meet him too because he had told the press that he cycled up to KL by bicycle with only one Straits dollar and a screw driver in his pocket. Lo and behold ! He made his billion ringgit fortuned in the streets paved with gold in Kuala Lumpur. Yet, another story of penniless Singaporeans making good in Malaysia. We got on well famously together. And we became good friends. Fast trek backwards to 1948 to Singapore, a true entreport of Oriental origins, I went along with my brothers to this mansion with the tennis court on a hill just off the Orchard Road and met the elder brothers of this famous tycoon. For me after this event was just a blank sheet concerning this family till I met this tycoon 40 years later. And between there was the Korean War in which I heard the family made good. But the Americans who normally are known to be forgetful did not forget the events concerning the Korean War. And they made one or two awkward incidents for Malaysians travelling in transit through the United States of America. Such is the strange twist of human affairs which are best left unsaid. But then, tycoons are tycoons who are in the limelight all the time. Again, we have a penniless Singaporean making good as a billionaire under the NEP !
Where are you MCA, the Gerakan, the DAP all this time ? A week is a long time in Malaysian Politics !

Dear Tun,
Actually most Chinese and Indian Malaysian know and understand the social and political landscape pf Malaysia. That first and foremost in Malaysia the Malays (including the Sultan) and Islam takes a special place as the prominent force. This is the social contract which had existed and MUST be maintained. Without this framework Malaysia will in all likelihood be a failed states as we have seen in so many post european colonial nations (states). All except the DAP leaders (who are aspirations of LKY). Whom without shame not understanding of the dynamics and social situaiton tried to sieze control of the Malaysian Federal Goverment. Had he done so Malaysia would have failed a long time ago as what is happening to Singapore right now….its failing and very slow and painful death.
DAP had long agp held this goal but failed as the general Chinese population understood this social contract and found that they could not only survive and prosper in this environment. They were content and triving.
They understood that even though the Malays need to be socially and politically dominent, they learned from their experience that thye could trust the Malays not to undermine nor sideline them in the national development where everyone could have those prt of the national cake.
The Malays (UMNO) has not and will never undermine them. They undeerstood this and TRUSTED the malays to lead equitably.
Then the ANWAR factor came into the scene. And all hell broke loose. The master deceptor and deceiver could change and shape perceptions at will. The DAP saw their opportunity and hopped on the band wagon as they saw that this is their best opportunity to sieze the moment. To ride on the Anwar decptions for their own gain and goals.
It is now time to fight the master deceptor and deciever in all spheres, be it cyber space, courts, hard media and international media – to reshape the perceptions towards the truth.
MCA need to take the lead in this respect.

Salam Tun, Saranan ini di tujukan kepada semua Umat Islam Malaysia and terutama sekali intelligentsia dan penyokong PAS yang jujur, ikhlas dan bersungguh sungguh berjuang untok menegakkan Syiar Islam di dalam perlembagaan Negara tercinta and di rahmati ini. Ternyata dengan kedudukan bilangan kerusi Parlimen, PAS berada di kedudukan yang istimewa. PAS boleh di katakan sebagai ‘King Maker” di dalam soal pengubalan perlembagaan kerana dengan undi PAS kerajaan BN boleh mengubal undangan undangan yang memungkinkan Syiar Islam di perkenalkan di dalam perlembagaan Negara kita. Dengan kerusi Parlimen PAS undi melebehi 2/3 akan wujud. Kalau PAS rela bergabung ke dalam BN itu yang paling afdal, tetapi melihat kepada keadaan sekarang cadangan ini mungkin susah untok di capai. Maka adalah lebih memungkinkan jika PAS berpendirian sebagai mesra BN di dalam Parlimen. Atau dalam bahasa lain PAS mengadakan coalition bersama BN sebagai “Kerajaan Coalition”. Terutama berkenaan pengubalan undangan undangan yang mesra Syiar Islam. Kepada intelligentsia PAS and penyokong akar umbi PAS yang benar benar ikhlas berjihad kearah memartabatkan Islam kedalam perlembagaan Negara, ini lah peluang yang paling baik untok perjuangan mereka ini. Gunakan lah kuasa akar umbi ramai untok mendesak kepimpinan PAS supaya mengambil peluang ini untok berjihad, jika memang ya mereka IKHLAS berjuang untok Islam. Mengapa keadaan in memberi peluang yang paling baik buat PAS? Kerana jika PAS membentuk kerajaan bersama DAP dan PKR, belum tentu dua parti itu akan menyokong hasrat PAS memartabatkan Islam di dalam perlembagaan. Sebaliknya BN yang di terajui UMNO besar kemungkinan akan memberi pertimbangan yang teliti kepada sebarang saranan pengubalan perlembagaan yang memesrakannya kepada syiar Islam. Pasti nya idea yang telalu berat untok non Muslim terima dengan serta merta akan di moderatekan oleh UMNO supaya ianya di lakukan berperingkat peringkat, supaya penerimaan raayat non Muslim lebih sesuai dan tidak menimbulkan keteganggan dan kesusah teramat sangat pada mereka. Yang penting process memesrakan perlembagaan kepada Syiar Islam boleh bermula dan terus di pertingkatkan dari semasa ke semasa. Ayoh Wira Wira PAS sahut lah cabaran ini dan rebut lah peluang yang di beri Allah ini dengan baik dan bijaksana.

In response to – ‘HBT456’ as commented on May 19, 2013 at 11:53 am
Anwar is a political superstar today…, did you say..?
And.., can his superstar ship last long.., did you ask..?
Well.., the Mad Monk Rasputin and Adolf Hitler were also political superstars..! One was illustrated as ‘Russia’s Greatest Love Machine’, as sung by the pop group Boney M.., while other was a ‘Modern day Dictator’, as exemplified in Charlie Chaplin’s movie.
In an uncanny and disturbing way, it seems Anwar Al Juburi tend to emulate both Rasputin and Hitler. One with an unending lust for sexual escapades while the other the incessant urge for power. History has taught us what had happened to both those ‘superstars’.., i.e. of the terrible ordeal in their downfall and demise. Because those two characters were not only ‘once bitten’.., but were ‘bitten several times’.., yet they were never even once shy.., i.e. they learnt nothing from past mistakes..!
You say that Anwar Al Juburi had been ‘twice bitten’ and yet you suggest that he is the ‘smartest’ and ‘wisest’ politician to deal with UMNO., and one who gives hope to young ow so naïve and idiotic can you be..?
We all know what had finally happened to the Mad Monk Rasputin as well as to Adolf Hitler. Thus, if Anwar Al Juburi tend to emulate both those villains, then would you dare speculate and expect Anwar Al Juburi’s ‘superstardom’ to last any much longer..?
Do you not realise that some of the deluded Young Malaysians who look up to Anwar Al Juburi as their role model would suffer the terrible fate of Hitler’s Youth during and after World War II..? Do you want some the youths of Malaysia to suffer that same terrible fate..?
It is still not too late for some of the youths of Malaysia to return to their senses and no longer be fooled by a psychotic mad man cum power seeker.., who is nothing more than an Empty Vessel that makes the Most Noise.., in the likes Anwar Al Juburi..!
Remember.., only a fool find others more foolish to admire him. And.., what the wise seek is in themselves, what the fool seeks is in others. Who is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him..?
So.., Don’t be a Fool..! Be well advised..!!

Amidst the game blamers on the failure of the MCA, I am optimistic that the MCA can rise like a Phoenix out of the ashes of defeat. Why ? Because the failure of the MCA at a General Election is just one cycle away from the demise of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to come in the next 14th General Elections. The strategy as adopted by the incumbent MCA leadership was wrong in all respects to counter the weaknesses of the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP which must be its links to the fatherland of their founder Lee Kuan Yew from whom they drew their inspiration and project the so called good governance of Singapore as a role model. Fortunately, Man proposes, God disposes in this game of life. We see two illuminating news items from Channelnewsasia today. 1.’ A good career does not depend solely on qualifications. Heng Swee Keat.’ – In other words, Singapore says sayonara to the dysfunctional meritocratic pyramid of ‘yes’ men with the smartest fellow on top and also to the Oxbridge and Ivy League types who hogged the limelight and failures of this one street state since 1959. Their people have spoken. 2. ‘ More new immigrants to serve as grassroots leaders.’ – 3,000 new immigrants already recruited with another 300 on the way for the People’s Association. Conversely, these show the absence of the indigenous Singaporeans who should have been born !
If the Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese keep on harping and use the failed State of Singapore and the 9 failed Policies of Lee Kuan Yew as the TEMPLATE for the survival and success in our beloved Malaysia, these misguided people are very, very wrong because the true comparison is like chalk and cheese. We the Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese, must, and the emphasis is on the word ‘MUST’ have their own credible political leadership and not support LEE KUAN YEW’S CLONES being clones they are just inferior to his superior intellect of 1947 ! To do this holistically (a famous Malaysian word of not too long ago), the NEW political Chinese, Malaysian Chinese leaders prudently should not get involved with Singapore in any way eg. bank accounts, blocks of flats off Dalvey Road, Singapore, scholarships, jobs etc. Things which maybe construed to be compromised. I recall that one MCA leader on retirement paid a courtesy call on Lee Kuan Yew who promptly included him in an expose’ in his Memoirs ! The previous facts are for starters for a budding new MCA leader. 2. No new MCA leader of a party in the BN as led by the UMNO with 14 component parties can be a leader without the power to distribute the political goodies which maybe offered by the BN to prop up the MCA leader and his party. This is the realpolitik of the land. 3. The MCA which was soundly beaten by its own inertia of the past decades, not years, has a good chance to rise from the ashes like the Phoenix provided the leadership i) rebuild their core basal support ii) capture the mass of Chinese supporters below the age of 40 iii) consider to open its membership to all races especially in the urban areas. iv) revitalize its service centers and sack the whole Board of the Star and its top management and winkle out the moles due to the many complaints and for doing business with the Singapore Government behind everyone’s back ! And build up a credible cyberspace army to counter the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP to support the BN as led by the UMNO with the 14 component parties.
It is entirely feasible and realpolitik for the MCA to return at the 14th General Elections smelling of roses because the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is actually very weak on the ground and very narrow based at the top and it had been conjuring the brilliant Lee Kuan Yew’s apparent good name with thick smoke and opaque mirrors. Once the conjurors have gone, and the smoke clears, the Emperors and the Princelings will be seen to be quite naked or nude. Akan Datang !
As the English always said, the MCA has got to go back to the basics ! 16. PAShit a.k.a. DAPshit

This is specially for those who attacks the BN as led by the UMNO with the 14 component parties. And for those like HockBengTeoh456 with a big mouth dropping poison here and poison there and everywhere without care for the consequences of such irresponsible words which may cause hardships, deaths, injuries and other wanton acts. Here are the following comments which I have made from time to time.
1. I asked my friends, ‘Have you ever met a stupid Chinaman ? They are all very clever, are’nt they ?’ They would nod in agreement. Then, I continued, ‘But some of them are so very clever as to be stupid ? Are’nt they ? My friends would looked puzzled until I mentioned a few household names. Then, they all nodded in agreement with a smile.
2. The Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese, are best treated in the World better than Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and the rest of the World. 3. Lee Kuan Yew made his ill advised Grand Tour of the Malaysian Ulus at the age of 86 to congratulate the Opposition even his ranking PAPs and his family eschewed such trips since 1965. 4. Lee Kuan Yew founded the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP since 1966 which spent 47 long years in the Opposition doing nothing but mischief and now more so in a gang of 3. Whatever the BN does is wrong and whatever the Opposition did not do or promise to do is right. It is plain for all to see these Shakespearean characters in play.
Without taking heed of the words of wisdom from the Tun well before the 13th General Elections and post Elections, slowly slowly events are happening which are not conducive to the well being of our beloved Malaysian society. Because for every action, there is a reaction. And for every reaction there is a counter reaction till ad infinitum.
1. The refusal of the Opposition to admit defeat at the ballot box. 2. The rallies of the thousands for photogenic shots to convince the foreign financiers and the misled Chinese, Malaysian Chinese that the Opposition failed to deliver. 3. The absence of Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, in the Malaysian Cabinet. 4. The counter reaction of pro BN NGOs to the above capers.
There you are HockBengTeoh456. Talk, talk, and talk. I hope you realise your foolishness before it is too late. That foreigners sitting in the comfort of their homes use proxies to wreak havoc in our beloved Malaysia. With all the daily events of derring do since the 13th General Elections which by now should be peace and quiet with all back at productive work, we the cast of thousands wasting their time and energy every night tilting at the windmill like Don Quixote and Sanchez. You and your ilk, HockBengTeoh456 should be held responsible for your irresponsible verbiage by the authorities in this diverse according to the laws.

For all Bloggers. Vignettes from the Past.
Way back in 1968, a Christian duo came into town from Singapore. They were the trustees of a fringe church. There were no born again Christians in those days as they were not born yet. If you will recall the 14th century English folk tale of Dick Whittington and his Cat, the poor Dick went to the streets of London which was paved with gold and became rich enough to be the Mayor of London. And so it was, to the Singaporean who wanted to be a billionaire in ringgits, he would come to KL even a lady whom I saw in the 1st class cabin of the SIA wearing hot pants who did a deal with our charitable Sime Darby in flooded Queensland. The Christian duo was at first bewildered by the 10 doors of entry which Malaysia has unlike the one door in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Thailand etc. Eventually, they found the right door. Lo and behold ! They were going places from then on. But their un Malaysian ways of doing business were their undoing especially they captured 30% of the Malaysian sugar market with no trouble at all. The leader set up a lop sided textile factory in Kamunting, Taiping which was given a 10 million tax free yarn quota annually. In his haste, he antagonised a toll keeper in the construction of the mill and he paid dearly for this oversight. Fast trek forward to the day before the Chinese New Year 1977, it was the 7th time I visited the office of this newly minted Singapore billionaire. As I entered his private office, I noticed there were 7 locks on the door. As soon as I sat down, I said,’ Tan Sri, you have worked so hard, don’t you think it is time you take a holiday ?’ He replied, ‘The other day I met a friend at the airport and he asked me whether I am a ‘Dato’ or not. I then asked my friend what is so good being a ‘Dato’ ? My friend said a Datoship is good for business. Then, I asked my friend what about a Tansri ship. My friend told me a Tansri ship is the best for business.’ After he told me this story, I wished him a very happy Chinese New Year and quietly left his office for the 7th time. A few weeks later, the Tan Sri Dato was arrested at the instigation of the antagonised toll keeper and his friend in the sugar industry thought I was the culprit. Let the truth be told. This story has a happy ending. The Tan Sri Dato is now donating wheel chairs etc. to the PAP and its agencies in Singapore.
Where are you Chinese, Malaysian Chinese when penniless Singaporeans come into Malaysia to pick the ‘low hanging fruits’ (quote from a Singaporean parachutist after 2003) ? Where is the MCA, the Gerakan and the DAP ?

A news in English,I do recall in an interview during the day in PRU 13, Anwar saying that the election is going well. When things do not go his way, complain. Nice analogy of Anwar playing Bedminton. Had Anwar had his way tourism Malaysia might as well welcom visitors with the slogan “welcom to SODOM and Gomorah. May we all enjoy Soto mee” What a name AL Juburi.

Dear Tun, Please allow me to quote anti jibaok below,
anti jibaok May 18, 2013 at 8:29 PM | Permalin “”"”As a parable, let’s say Najib is challenged in the game of Badminton by Anwar. Both players agree to abide & conform to the point scoring system as provided in the rules & regulation of the Badminton Federation. During the game, in the first set Najib beats Anwar by 21 against 19 points. In the second set Anwar thumps Najib by 21 against 9 points. Then, in the third and deciding set Najib again smacks Anwar by 21 against 19 points. Thus, Najib defeats Anwar and therefore declared the winner. Anwar consequently accused the Umpire of the match for being unfair and biased towards Najib. Anwar also accused the Linesmen had colluded with the Umpire in allowing Najib to win. Anwar continues to claim that he has all the evidence to prove his accusation. Anwar even defied the Badminton Federation and demanded that he be declared the winner instead. Later on, day after day, week after week, Anwar staged rallies & road shows with his crazed die hard supporters to repudiate the result of the badminton match. In those rallies & road shows Anwar and his supporters had even donned black attire to suggest that dark days have now loomed over the world of the badminton. In his rally & road show speeches Anwar brags that he is the much better player than Najib. According to his distorted logic, he says he had garnered more points as compared to Najib.., i.e. 19 + 21 + 19 = 59 points.., as compared to Najib who had accumulated only.., i.e. 21 + 9 + 21 = 51 points. Anwar the sore loser and rabble rouser just simply cannot admit and accept defeat. So, folks, that is the story of POPULAR VOTE.”"”" ————————————————— On the issue of racism and bigotry, DAP accuses PERKASA and UMNO as being racist. DAP claims itself as being a multi racial party. How many malays do they have in DAP??. When DAP talks about PAS, they perceive Malays who are non fundamentalist.They would prefer Malay women not wearing tudung, no hudud laws, pork and non halal food should be served to all and sundry. That is democracy and liberal society for DAP. On the other hand, malay Muslims would prefer strict adherence to islamic environment, like having a mosque nearby, muslims call to prayers is loudly broadcasted, especially for dawn prayer, which has additional reminder that solat is better than sleep. Whereas, to the non muslims, call to prayer is disturbing their sleep. The Chinese in DAP thought that this time around they would surely win the election with the help of PKR and PAS. They campaigned on racial tone accusing UMNOputra and PERKASA as being racists. True enough vast majority of Chinese could see the economic advantage of Malaysian Malaysia and voted for DAP, which emerged as the most successful Chinese based party. MCA and GERAKAN which are more tolerant Chinese parties were badly trounced. But MCA and GERAKAN are smart by refusing to take up any ministerial position thus denying the chauvinists Chinese population any voice at all in the government. Thus, the biggest winner DAP with 38 members of parliament fails to be in the government at the same time had laid bare their motives and design. thus have offended the main stream Malays in UMNO. The Chinese have won the election and lost political representation in the government. The Malays say .MENANG SORAK, KAMPONG TERGADAI’

The question, I will leave it for the public voters with burning sensation of “patriotism” brought to us by 2 party systems of the divide to judge and decide via “ceramah” in a country built by all races secara serentak di seluruh Semenanjung, Sabah dan Sarawak, kini, di bawah 1 Malaysia aspirasi DS Najib Tun Razak.
All of US have to go through this path of the journey via sharing willingly or unwillingly.
No one can escape the Judgement day of GENERAL election to improve better.
Some made it, politically.
Some did not make it, politically.
But, that does not mean that Malaysians of multi ethnic races cannot voice out our grievances. Malaysians no longer worship leaders since 1998.
Today, leaders who have ambition to become next PM have to work hard to garner votes legally, atau illegally, it’s up to them.
As politicians said, there are no permanent enemies in politics.
Really?
It’s a zero sum game, either you win all, all you lose all.
But for Malaysians, whoever becomes the PM, we still have to pay taxes legally to “bayar gaji beliau”.
I am just a voter.
It’s my state and national obligations to vote for the next election.
I am not politician cum lawmakers from political parties.
I always believe if those who have done good cause to the people, they will be respected.
If they have done something mean to get elected, they will be targeted by the opposition party.
The next 5 years will be another term of exciting and vibrant years for Malaysians to improve and transform ourselves to the next level to rally against next GENERAL election result.
All the best to politicians of all divides who have made personal sacrifices to make Malaysia a better tomorrow under PM Najib and his new Cabinet.
For those politicians who are afraid of changing and only interested to become Minister, stop calling others as pendatang to make your political life easier, to make other people life more comfortable.
Tomorrow, these pendatang izin shall be the legitimate voters to form the next federal government via political party recruitment.
I prefer PR coalition front now because they put Malaysians first as the main pillar in servicing and uniting the people as lawmakers and wakil rakyat, in which, BN has forgotten long time ago due to ego dan tak mahu kalah.
Mubarak Chan, I do not worship nor love leaders. It’s their duty to serve the people of their states, not to force the voters to do what they like to do.

Tun,
The failure of the Opposition to win since 1969 stemmed from their bad strategies which have always been based on rallies and street demonstrations for photogenic shots for their foreign financiers and journalists. The Opposition leaders have to return to their drawing boards to plan new strategies, maybe this is the best and only way they can achieve. Here is a list of the Opposition failures since 1969 :
1 1969 – The small businesses in Kuala Lumpur suffered heavily due to the curfew.
2. 1998 – In 1997, I thought the DPM would be the Prime Minister if he had taken a long holiday. But he took the advice of his foreign advisors and that of his wooden kitchen cabinet and missed this vital opportunity. It would have been a seamless and holistic transition of power. This did not happen.
3. 2008. Here again the finest opportunity for the Opposition to gain power because the UMNO led BN was compromised from Singapore and from all sorts of directions. It was all tizzy ! Yet, with such a low hanging fruit (quote from Singaporean parachutist), the Opposition just could not deliver the 32 seats on 16 September 2008 which resulted in a big embarassment for Lee Kuan Yew’s ill fated Grand Tour of the Opposition Leaders in the Ulus of Malaysia at the age of 86 – a trip which even his ranking PAP and his own family eschewed since 1965 !
4. 2013. The Opposition put their best efforts, their monies, all their human resources and platoons of PhDs etc into action. There were street demonstrations galore, mega rallies, black shirts, yellow shirts, green shirts, etc.etc. And yet the Opposition lost big once again comparatively and caused one of them, the very Chinese DAP to be loaded up with more Chinese, Malaysian Chinese. With this lop sided Malaysian Chinese situation, the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP is going into battle for the 14th General Elections, saddled with not one, but two Dilemmas ! In the Dewan Rakyat, all the Malaysian Chinese will sit on the Opposition benches representing the Lee Kuan Yew founded DAP !
5. From 1969 to 2013, despite the best efforts of the Opposition to unseat the BN, the Opposition has failed miserably. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE STRATEGY ! 24. anti-jibaok

Thus.., should a non Malay/Muslim becomes the first Prime Minister of Malaysia.., rest assured that there should be some Zionist Jewish hands behind such dastardly scheme.
Anyway.., for the time being those damn Zionists are doing all they can do to place their Malay/Muslim lackey in the likes of Anwar Al Juburi to become the Prime Minister of Malaysia. After all.., was it not Anwar Al Juburi who had stated that.., he supports all efforts to protect the security of Zionist Israel..!?
Apparently.., with God Almighty’s will, their evil efforts had been thwarted as per the results of the PRU 13 recently. Such close shave.., huh..!?
—
Furthermore, you did utter.., “Apa lagi UMNO nak..?”
Well.., as long as the Per capita Income of the Malays/Bumiputra is well behind the Chinese.., while in fact (and surprisingly) still behind the Indians.., then UMNO shall continue to struggle in striking a balance.
As long as the majority Malay/Bumiputra of Malaysia are lagging behind in trained professionals.., then UMNO shall continue to struggle in striking an equitable balance between the races.
As long as there is a huge rift and divide in the socio economy between the race and ethnicity in Malaysia.., then UMNO shall its utmost to close up the rift & divide in the re structuring of the Malaysian society for the good and benefit of all Malaysian citizens.
Until all these can be accomplished, therefore.., Perjuangan UMNO Masih Belum Selesai..!! Should there be others attempting to wrest power of the government from UMNO/BN.., then rest assured and be cautioned that instability of the nation shall await such an attempt.., and the future fate of Malaysians may replicate those in Syria today. Would any Malaysian welcome such a horrible situation and scenario..?

Anwar even defied the Badminton Federation and demanded that he be declared the winner instead.
Frantic and furious, Anwar stormed out of the Badminton Stadium and summoned his supporters & followers where he gathered them to yell out loud, defying and discrediting the Badminton Federation. Later on, day after day, week after week, Anwar staged rallies & road shows with his crazed die hard supporters to repudiate the result of the badminton match.

Anwar Al Juburi the sore loser and rabble rouser just simply cannot admit and accept defeat. Second place is simply not acceptable by his ill mannerism. It is all or nothing for Anwar Al Juburi even at the expense of everyone else. Anwar’s extrovert but selfish and narcissist nature is so revealing that it is a wonder that a great number of those foolish people would still tolerate and succumb to his malicious and spiteful antics like some distraught cult.
Prior to the match against Najib, Anwar Al Juburi had even made the promise to everyone, that if he lost the match he would finally retire and pursue some other line of profession. But now, Anwar has gone against his own words and refuses to retire gracefully but instead accuses the Badminton Federation of rigging the badminton match.
One may wonder that perhaps Anwar Al Juburi also desires to assume Chairmanship for the Executive Council of the Badminton Federation. Then perhaps he can adjust and change the rules & regulation of badminton for the scoring system.., where the most number of points accumulated by the player shall be considered the winner, instead of winning by the 2 out of 3 set system. Such a desire shall manifest Anwar’s form of ‘gerrymandering’ in badminton.., to suit his penchant.
It is now so revealing and obvious that Anwar Al Juburi’s egocentric and narcissist nature.., that all things and manner have to conform and suit only for his wicked interest..!
Apparently Anwar Al Juburi’s foolish cult of supporters and followers are so dazed to realise and too blind to see the wiles and deceit of such psychotic political creature.., who shall unmistakably lead them into ruins and misery..! Pity..!!

For all Bloggers. Vignettes from the Past.
‘ Brilliant ! Brilliant ‘ said this chubby cheeked pink faced twenty something Singaporean fresh from the City of London in response to what I told him about the biggest corporate scandal in the mid 70s at a merchant bankers cocktail party. A little bird told me that he originated from the environs of the Serangoon Road, Geylang Road and the Arab Street complex. Of course, he was pennilless at the material time. Fast trek forward 20 years later, he would tell his confidants he would only lunch with the Prime Minister. How come he became a billionaire in so short a time ? No one is telling. But the father of all Santa Clauses, Sime Darby gave a bonus issue of 1:2 in 1979 and multi millionaires were created by the dozens. Most insiders benefitted except the shareholders with the inside information in the wonderland of low hanging fruits (to quote a Singaporean parachutist after 2003). Here is another instance of a penniless Singaporean through his own ability became a ringgit billionaire. The 2 previous true stories were the first about the penniless 1/2 Singaporean who ended up collecting Stradivarius violins from Cremona and the other penniless Singaporean who made a billion ringgits using his phone.
Malaysian Chinese where were you when these penniless Singaporeans were making good solid ringgits ? Where was your MCA, Gerakan and the DAP ? If you look hard enough, there are low hanging fruits everywhere in this wonderland.

Dearest YAB Tun,
Thanks to ALLAH SWT that BN is still in power. Yes! BN won again!
To the Oppositions, please just accept the fact that you have been defeated by BN in the GE 13. Please accept your FATE. Please do not try to confuse the ”rakyat” with figures (popular votes) that are not applicable to Malaysia. It’s like trying to apply rules of playing ”Game A” to ”Game B” (can be any games). Only desperate and stupid people would do such a thing. The game is over..
Recently I was in Europe for a vacation. I visited several cities/places and amazingly many times someone whom I talked to or came across asked me if I am a Malaysian. A few even said something like ”I know you are from Malaysia…” just by looking at me. I also visited one of the islands in Italy, and I remember Tun’s description of the villas situated along the hillside and also the narrow roads; at several points, other vehicles had to give way to our mini bus…
I am so lucky because I am a MALAY. If not, I believe no one would have guessed correctly from which country I come from.
Tun, I think DSN made a big mistake of appointing Khairy as a minister. Khairy and Anwar Ibrahim have something in common (”tidak nampak keikhlasan.”). ”Pandai bercakap, tapi hasil kerja tidak nampak..hampeh”; one more thing, even in Islam we are advised not to give positions to those who ask (”meminta minta”) for positions (as leaders). ”Orang yang paling bijak ialah orang yang belajar dari kesilapan orang lain..”
Question: Why only ”Bangla” are being accused as ”Pengundi Hantu”? How about Chinese, Indians, Indonesians?
Thanks Tun.

For the ubiquitous HockBengTeoh456. In answer to your cursory question whether the UMNO leads BN with the 14 component parties well or not ? We must take a leaf out of how the British govern Malaya, Singapore and Hong Kong. The British governed these territories in their own commercial interests as long as the inhabitants abide by the rule of law. Of course, the UMNO led BN Government can govern our beloved Malaysia well if it is recognised i) that UMNO represents esoteric Malay interests on the one hand and has considerable influence because of its majority on the other. ii) the all important factor is for this BN Government to mete out policies which are fair and transparent to the inhabitants of the land like the Colonial Governments which were never involved in business or money making projects. iii) Since the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, decided for many reasons to vote for the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP, then, it is up to these Chinese, Malaysain Chinese, to decide when and how they will be represented again in the UMNO led BN Government. The political football is at the Chinese, Malaysian Chinese, court. It is up to them to decide. No one can force them. This is where the word PATIENCE comes into play. And the Singaporean Trojan Horse DAP has become ineffective because of exposure of their intent and did not win at the ballot box. IT IS NOW SADDLED WITH A DOUBLE DILEMMA – their own creation and Singapore’s. What an unholy mess ! 4. The rule of the Laws is an absolute at this time of dealing with the recalcitrant Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese. Patience is the watchword. And like the British, the UMNO led BN Government encourages the growth of the socio economy with no untowards actions but a tight rein on the observance by all on the rule of the Laws. This is the way. If voters have been misled or recalcitrant what more can we do in a free, independent and democratic country like our beloved Malaysia ? Life has to go on. The UMNO led BN Government had to carry out its duties and responsiblitlies as the people have spoken.

Kindly allow me to share my 2 cents worth with our esteemed commenters.
Dear Puteri Tujuh There are two sides to a coin, and more than one way of seeing the world. I studied history too and I came to realise that position power is not always permanent. With that in mind and if I were the Minister in question, I wouldn’t say something so shallow, because if Malaysia’s political situation changed in the future, he may be haunted by his own words and may in turn have to leave the country. Perhaps you would like to join him then?
Dear HBT456 As long as Malaysia remains a democratic country, there are always possibilities that woman, orang Asli, and minority can be PM, and perhaps Bangladeshi and Indonesian too. Who knows?
Dear Anti Jibaok After I filtered out all the insults and verbal abuses, your comments do have some substance that I like. Attaboy!
Dear Sentinel3 I didn’t say Malays vote en bloc against BN, please read the whole sentence. By the way, you ought to adjourn utilising thesaurus to make your commentaries grandiloquent. I thought my command of English was bad until I read yours.

Tun For all Bloggers. Vignettes from the past. 2. This poor Singaporean made his billion ringgits of all places in Malaysia. He was not the first to have this ingenious idea of being and outsider as well as an insider of Malaysian corporate affairs and the tons of profits which could be made by having a good memory and an astute mind to take advantage of that golden mean between Singapore and Malaysia from 1965 to 2000 – the CLOB. He did exactly like anyone would do to tap the profits in ringgits as an outsider from Singapore dealing with insider information. This is as old as the hills. A couple of chubby cheeked Malaysian merchant banker boys of which one a Singaporean fresh from the City in the 1970s made the millions of ringgits from inside information in which they were privy to. They had no monopoly, no nepotism, no cronyism, but just thrived on reversed inside information by selling them to the highest bidder and helped themselves to some. Those were the easy days to make the big bucks on the Bursa before 1981. The poor Singaporean used only his phone to garner the hundreds of millions of ringgits through his network up country during the 1990s in the free capital market before the CLOB was closed down for good in 2000. Why are you so unhappy the Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese ? There are already 2 examples of how poor Singaporeans became multi billionaires in our beloved Malaysia without a monopoly, cronyism, nepotism, etc. during the NEP. Even those chubby cheeked merchant bankers who made good did so during the early years of the NEP, the era of low hanging fruits as described by the gushing PAP cadres who parachuted into this wonderland of bountiful riches after 2003 !

In response to – ‘Rahman 2012’ as posted on May 14, 2013 at 6:12p.m. What amazing prediction..!? If one Baljit Singh of Gerakan had ‘predicted’ or speculated one year ago by warning UMNO that Perkasa’s political frolics will cost BN massive vote loss, especially among non Malays, in the PRU 13.., then his prediction is totally ridiculous and incorrect..! After more than a week that the PRU 13 have passed, any idiot can tell that the massive vote loss incurred by Barisan Nasional was definitely due to the slimy, dirty antics & tactics of those Kiasu, Chauvinistic DAP Chinese rascals. Plain and simple.., Period..!! By now, any idiot (except ‘Rahman 2012′) can clearly see that it was the en bloc Chinese votes that had ‘slaughtered’ Tan Sri Ghani Osman in Gelang Patah.., that had also ‘slaughtered’ most of the Gerakan and MCA candidates in whichever constituencies they had stood under the Barisan National flag. Those en bloc Chinese votes was to register to the Malaysian public that the DAP Chauvinist Chinese now have full control of Chinese votes.., and that DAP now dominates and dictates over PKR and even PAS of the opposition pact or Pakatan Rakyat..! Despite that Barisan Nasional had lost more parliament seats to the Pakatan Rakyat during the PRU 13.., however UMNO had faired much better and had gained more seats as compared in the 2008 General Elections. In this regard, Malay sentiments and support towards UMNO have thus increased, thanks to contribution and good work of Perkasa in recovering the faith of the Malays towards UMNO. Since when did Perkasa became a ‘subsidiary’ of UMNO as implied by Baljit Singh..? “The voters will punish component parties for being associated with UMNO. Malaysians are sick and tired of this gutter politics,” as predicted by Baljit Singh. How so wrong can that Baljit Singh be..? On the contrary the general voters could not punish all the component parties of Barisan Nasional, such as MIC and the other component parties from Sabah and Sarawak. However, the en bloc Chinese voters did severely punish MCA and Gerakan resulting in the shame and disgrace of both those Chinese dominant parties.., so much so culminating in their sad resolution by not accepting appointment for any Cabinet Ministers post in the Barisan Nasional government. In this regard, it was not the so called frolics of Perkasa, but it was the filthy handiwork of the ‘Red Bean Army’ who are actually cyber troopers and ‘cyber mercenaries’, who were fully employed by DAP to politically ‘assassinate’ the BN candidates, especially those from MCA and Gerakan.., as exposed by an ex DAP cybertrooper as below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XdA8AbFFdfg and here as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=R2u0fnVuFaw# ! Discover the alarming exposé by the ex DAP Youth Chief (Shen Yee Aun) of how the DAP had employed and financed full time cyber troopers & mercenaries to operate numerous bogus political websites with their lies and seditious attacks against Barisan Nasional for the large Malaysian Chinese audience. Thus, as uttered by Shen Yee Aun, who said that he finally saw the devil and hypocrisy in the Opposition, especially in the DAP..! Nowadays.., after the PRU 13 is all over.., but who are those now practicing the ‘gutter politics’ as insinuated by Baljit Singh..? Who now are those wearing their black attires and yelling day after day.., and organising rally after rally.., roadshows after roadshow.., despite garnering the so called ‘popular votes’..? Who are those now yelling like madmen from the gutter.., thus practicing ‘Bangkang Dari Longkang’..!? Thus, for sure Baljit Singh is no magician. His ¾ brain and perhaps the Ten pin bowling ball that he uses as his crystal ball in assuming that Ibrahim Ali is a ‘crusader’ is testimony to his crackpot antics. How can Ibrahim Ali be a ‘crusader’ when is a Muslim..? As for Zulkifli Nordin, he did belittle the Indian (Hindu) Community more that 10 years ago, i.e. while was in PAS and Pakatan Rakyat. Having left Pakatan Rakyat, he was gentleman enough to publically apologise (3 times) to the Indian Community for his mistake in uttering such remark while he was in the Opposition. In politics, that is how it should be as a man of principle & dignity. However, your last statement clearly indicates your idiocy and absurdity. How can UMNO & Barisan Nasional return to power and form the federal government.., if the Malays had voted en bloc against Barisan Nasional..!? So.., ‘Rahman 2012’.., Kindly take your insolence elsewhere or just keep your opinion to yourself before you make a complete fool of yourself for all to see in this forum. OK..!?

Tun For all Bloggers. Vignettes from the past. 1. I have always said that 7 1/2 poor Singaporeans became multi billionaires during the NEP. One true story is about the 1/2 Singaporean who began life in a Johor factory carrying the brief case and doing vital tasks for the manager. Within 10 years, this 1/2 Singaporean was boasting to the eager crowd around him which included my relative and a very very senior Minister of the Singapore Government that he had the ears of the good and the great in Kuala Lumpur. Another 5 years later, he was at his peak and as a foreigner told a prominent Malaysian director of a Singaporean blue chip company to resigne forthwith or he would get the sack. The bully did not realise that the Malaysian had a bigger knife than him. And he consulted me who told him to resign as demanded by this 1/2 Singaporean bully to catch this guy in his own greedy trap being selling the iconic Ardmore Apartments to his Hong Kong friend who was a very good friend of the Director so that his self serving corruption is recorded in the annals of the Singapore Stock Exchange forever. My friend promptly resigned and this foreign bully quickly made himself a director of this Malaysian controlled blue chip Singaporean company and quickly sold the iconic Ardmore Apartments to his Hong Kong friend in a hurry. Not only that, this big mouth bully made so much, he tossed a few hundred millions ringgits to his kids and spent US$20 Millions of Stradivarius violins which he lent to the Singapore Philharmonic but not to the KL Philharmonic. This is gratitude as we know it. The last Singaporean guy I knew who collected Stradivarius violins was Robin Loh of Pertamina fame in 1973. Remember him ? That is the true story of 1/2 a Singaporean. Why are the Chinese, the Malaysian Chinese so very unhappy in our beloved Malaysia ?

Salam, Mohon izin beri komen lagi. syok pula dah komen . 1. Barisan Kabinet ======Saya berharap semua rakyat Malaysia terutamanya pemimpin politik BN menerima keputusan Dato Najib berkaitan senarai nama Menteri dan Timbalan Menteri. Ada beberapa nama dalam senarai itu pun saya tak berapa seronok. tetapi kita semua kena beri sokongan. InsyaAllah dengan sokongan kita , Menteri dan Timbalan Menteri dapat mempertingkatkan prestasi demi kebaikan negara. Jadi yang terpilih jangan sombong, jangan bongkak. Kena ikhlas tolong rakyat kalau tidak dapat jadi penggal ini sajalah kot. Kena rendah diri. Ingatlah orang Melayu menyampah pemimpin yang aksyen. Yang tak terpilih jangan keluarkan keris atau machine gun nak lepas peluru ‘air liur’ merata2,. Busuk tu. Rosak negara nanti. PR pun sama, dah kalah duk diam2, jangan kacau orang. Itu pemimpin DAP selesaikan dulu cerita ROS sebelum nak kata PRU tak adil. 2. Mari kita semua bergerak ke hadapan ======Cukuplah rakyat menangung sengsara kecoh selama 5 tahun angkara perbuatan perebutan kuasa pemerintahan Malaysia ini. Janganlah nak menangis2 , bersedih2 mengadu dan merayu2 kat Obama . Dia orang luar. bukan orang Malaysia. Kalau nak rayu2 juga, minta lah kepada Allah Ta’ala. Jangan Obama. Kalau tak kena cara , depa hadiah peluru berpandu untuk hidupkan demokrasi ala Pakatan Rakyat pulak. Jenuh Tok Guru PAS kena maki hamun dengan orang Melayu nanti sampai kiamat kot. Nauzubillah Pada masa ini, semua kena bagi sokongan kepada kerajaan Dato Najib. Tak boleh bergaduh2, semua kena bersatu teguh. Orang Melayu ,Pakatan rakyat pun kena bagi sokongan kepada kerajaan BN yang dipilih ini kerana rakyat dah letih berpolitik. Nak tumpu kerja harian lain. Tok Guru Hadi Awang nak pi tangkap ikan pun susah. Asyik tengkujuh aje. Orang politik memang kerja berpolitik. tapi kebanayakan raklyat ada kerja2 lain,nak uruskan hal keluarga, uruskan kebun, sawh, nak uruskan perniagaan. Masjid dan surau perlu pengisian kerohaniah yang sebenarnya.Banyak aktiviti lain perlu diteruskan. Kasihanlah generasi muda. Kena fikirkan masa depan depa. masa depan janganlah dipolitikkan terlebih2. Yang dah tua2 macam saya ni, baik kita berjinak2 dengan surau dan masjid ikhlas kerana Allah. Jangan duk cari gaduh merata2. Hidup didunia ini bukan lama pun. 3. Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim ======Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim bila pula nak jadi Pensyarah. Bukan perli. Lagi tenang pada usia yang lewat ini. Lagi pun memang DSAI mempunyai pengalaman dan kelayakan membicarakan politik. Tapi secara ikhlas saya rasa sebagai Pensyarah Jemputan dalam bidang Politik Asia Tenggara di Universiti luar negara. DSAI boleh mendapat pengiktirafan sebagai pakar dalam bidang ini sekiraya bersifat ilmiah dan tidak melibatkan emosi. Peribahasa Melayu kata “HARIMAU MATI MENINGGALKAN BELANG, MANUSIA MATI MENINGGALKAN NAMA” DSAI boleh membantu mempromosi nama Malaysia dipersadana antarabangsa. Boleh bekerja bersama2 dengan kerajaan Dato Najib memperkenalkan Malaysia diluar negara. Tak tahulah tetapi Datuk Najib lebih mengenali DSAI. Saya percaya DSAI seorang yang mahir berkomunikasi.DSAI juga mahu memebri sumbangan bermakna kepada negara. DSAI juga mahu anak2 dan kaum keluarga terdekat melihat beliau seorang yang banyak berjasa kepada negara. Kalau boleh saya cadangkan lantik DSAI jadi Duta Malaysia kei Bangsa Bersatu. tapi janganlah ambil peluang hentam kerajaan Malaysia pula. Kerjalah bersama2lah dengan kerajaan BN untuk keamanan, kemakmuran Malaysia.InsyaAllah jasa baik DSAi akan dkenang sepanjang zaman.
