BLAIR and the CONSPIRACY of SILENCE Chedet.Co.Cc August 01, 2008 by Dr BLAIR AND THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE Chedet.co.cc August 01, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad I feel sad that after a very well attended Press Conference (see picture) chaired by me as Chairman of the Kuala Lumpur Perdana Global Peace Organisation to condemn the visit of the war criminal Tony Blair, almost nothing has appeared in the print and electronic media in this country. It looks as if Malaysia supports the criminal action of this former British Prime Minister who lied to his Parliament, to the British people and the world that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) which could hit Britain in a matter of minutes. On the basis of this lie he joined George Bush of the United States to launch a massive war against Iraq, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and destroying their cities, the electricity and water supply. When no WMDs were found in Iraq, this war criminal claimed that he and Bush unleashed their killers against Iraq to rid it of (President) Saddam Hussein and to make Iraq and all the countries in West Asia democratic. Saddam has been caught together with his Cabinet members and hanged after trial by a kangaroo court. But the killings in Iraq has not stopped. It is five years plus and the Iraqi people, from babies to old people, the healthy and the sick, are being killed or savagely wounded every day. Whatever Saddam may have done, nothing that he did can compare with the death and destruction caused by Blair and Bush. If Saddam is regarded as a criminal for the harsh way he built up his country, if Radovan Karadzic is a criminal because of the thousands of Bosniaks he massacred, then Blair together with Bush must be condemned as worse criminals, for the senseless and pointless war of aggression they launched i.e. for mass killings of innocent people that they ordered to be carried out without an ounce of mercy, with no compassion for the Iraqi people. Blair is truly a criminal who was rejected even by the British people. It is disgusting to see this criminal of the highest order being welcomed in Malaysia and worse still to talk on the rule of law when he broke all international laws and the laws of his own country by deliberately lying and sending young British soldiers to die in a war of aggression. The conspiracy of silence by Malaysia's media is to be condemned for you are lending support to a War Criminal whose criminal acts must not go unpunished. Yet you have seen how readily the United States and its cohorts condemn the President of Sudan, Omar Bashir, for alleged war crimes in Darfur when there is no evidence that he deliberately issued orders to war against anyone. 469 Comments By protunmahathir on August 1, 2008 2:41 PM Assalamualaikum TUN, harap2 saya 1st.. harap Tun dapat beri komen berkenaan pilihan raya kecil permatang pauh yang akan datang..

Kalau dah Malaysia ni mempunyai pemimpin yg dipimpin oleh idola mereka yg suka pada peperangan. Kapal pengangkut ke kawasan perang dibenarkan singgah di Malaysia.

There are possible plans underway to apply to the Oxford and Webster to include a new word for their 2009 dictionary: *badawi* [baa-daa-wee] (/noun/): To start something full of promise but end in disappointment, failure and/or disaster. Eg: 'I'm trusting you to perform this task well; don't do a badawi,ok?' 'Whatever I do, I will always find a way to badawise it.' Take care always Tun I KNOW ! By dayanganita on August 1, 2008 2:57 PM Dear Tun, Indeed it is disgusting.. This is the sort of news that malaysians should read about rather than some sensational news about sodomy and wife who took pity on her husband. By cool80 on August 1, 2008 2:57 PM I am the fisrt!!!!!!!! Yahoooo... I luv u Dr M. By Amry on August 1, 2008 2:59 PM its all bodolah fault,,, blame him the stupid one.... By "My Way" on August 1, 2008 3:01 PM Dear Tun, Don't feel down about this. I'm sure you know that the media is totally controlled by 'someone'. So of course not to offend Tony Blair and his entourage, our 'good' media wiz the direction from our 'flip-flop' government just don't want to publish it. Tun, your blog page has become one of the popular and most visited sites on this planet, so don't worry we are glad that there is other source of 'alternative' media for us to depend on. Keep up the fight, Tun. Cheers! By protunmahathir on August 1, 2008 3:01 PM Tun, kami sangat kecewa ngan pak Lah.. ade ke patut kabinet tak bincang berkenaan tuntutan singapura terhadap perairan pulau batu putih.. macamana la pak lah boleh ambik senang perkara ni.. By Jue on August 1, 2008 3:02 PM Dear Tun, Well said Tun. Regards, By zzemy on August 1, 2008 3:02 PM Allah selamatkan Allahyarham Saddam Hussein! Sepatutnya Tony Blair dibawa bersama-sama Radovan Karadzic di The Hague. Bawa sama GW Bush dan bapanya GW Bush Sr. Saya tidak tahu yang Tun adakan sidang tersebut kerana tidak pernah disiarkan di mana-mana media....Reporter banyak yang hadir, berita hilang. Apa yang ditakutkan sangat dengan seorang lelaki 80an umurnya? Apa yang kerajaan takutkan sangat? Nak jaga hati Tony Blair ke? A murderer still a murderer. Lihat saja hasil misi keamanan dunia unilateral Amerika...none~ Itu pun jangan...ada juga orang Malaysia yang mahu Amerika masuk dan mencampuri urusan dalaman negara. Semua rahsia dalam kain Malaysia diungkit diungkap! Britain telah menolak Blair akibat sokongan terhadap perang Iraq tetapi penggantinya pun sama saja. Boeh katakan mana-mana pemimpin Barat dah kena penyakit Islamofobia. cakap saja yang depa semua tuh faham Islam tetapi dibelakang depa semua dok cadang cara macam mana nk naikkan pemimpin Islam yang Pro-Barat dan menjadi kerajaan Pro-Sekular macam Turki. Kat Malaysia ni dah nampak dah calon2 pemimpian terbaik untuk Amerika nak masuk jarum..... apalah nasib kita lepas ni? By Redzwan AbdullahAuthor Profile Page on August 1, 2008 3:03 PM Salam Alaik Tun... I hope I'm the first,.. I think Malaysia's Media are forgetting about the crime by Blair... I think the media also boycotting your opinion... However, I still respect your opinion and hope that our Media will be more independent after this... May god bless You... By athena on August 1, 2008 3:03 PM in spite of what he and his partner have done directly and indirectly to the iraqis, sadly all those were overlooked...i supposed it is far less mind numbing than looking our for the wof in sheep clothing By wewant on August 1, 2008 3:03 PM Asalamualaikum Tun.. ye betul Tun..sunyi je..takde sebarang berita mengenai Tony Blair tuh.. apa media malaysia nih.. berita pasal liwat bukan main cepat lagi...

  • A Unified Analysis of Funny Control
    A unified analysis of funny control Hiroki Nomoto University of Minnesota [email protected] ISMIL12@Leiden, the Netherlands, 26{27 June 2008 1 Introduction1 This paper discusses a construction in Malay/Indonesian which Gil (2002) calls the funny control construction. (1) Normal control Polis cuba men-(t)angkap Mat Rempit itu. police try act-catch motorcycle.gang that (i) `The police tried to catch the motorcycle gang.' |`normal control reading' (ii) *`The mortorcycle gang tried to be caught by the police.' |`crossed reading'2 A normal control construction is unambiguous. Assuming that cuba `to try' and men- (t)angkap `to catch' are in different clauses, the external argument of the former, i.e. polis `police', is coreferential to that of the latter. (2) Funny control Mat Rempit itu cuba di-tangkap polis. motorcycle.gang that try pass-catch police (i) `The motorcycle gang tried to be caught by the police.' |`normal control reading' (funny!) (ii) `The police tried to catch the motorcycle gang.' |`crossed reading' 1I would like to thank my informants for this study: Kartini binti Abd. Wahab, Mat Zubir bin Ladin, Mohd. Azizul bin Ladin, Noradilah Mohd Nasir and Sharifah Raihan Syed Jaafar. I would also like to thank my adviser Hooi Ling Soh for her comments on a draft of this handout. Example sentences in this paper are in Standard Formal Malay used in Malaysia unless otherwise noted. The following abbreviations are used: act: active; pass: passive; perf: perfect; top: topic. 2The terms `normal control reading' and 'crossed reading' are from Polinsky and Potsdom (in press). 1 2 ISMIL2008 As the translations above show, the funny control construction is in principle ambiguous.

This warrants a study to be carried out to understand the overall accident characteristics and investigate the associated risk factors. Secondary data from police records (POL 27) were utilized using three years of accident records (2006 – 2008). Results shown that the following factors led to a higher probability of being killed or severely injured (KSI) for young motorcycle riders; being a male motorcyclist, riding with a learner probationary license or without a license, riding with an improper helmet or without wearing any, being involved in a crash that happens during the wee hours, being involved in a crash that happens during dawn or dusk or in the dark with and without street lighting, being involved in a crash that happens at built-up or rural areas and being involved in a head-on collision.

  • CRONYISM and the NEP Chedet.Co.Cc August 06, 2008 by Dr
    CRONYISM AND THE NEP Chedet.co.cc August 06, 2008 by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. When the New Economic Policy began to show some results in the early eighties, the Western Press and local opponents of the Government began to talk about cronyism. Whoever succeeded in a developing country like Malaysia, did so because they were the chosen favourites of the Government, particularly the head of the Government. 2. I came in for virulent attacks because some Malays actually did well in business. They were all labelled my cronies whether they were indeed my cronies or not. Anyone who succeeded was immediately defined as my crony. 3. Many close friends, relatives and members of my family who failed in business would not be called cronies. 4. It is not the actual relation or association with the leader that qualifies one to be the crony of the Prime Minister. It is the success of the individual. Failures, no matter how close they may be to the Prime Minister would not be called cronies. 5. This left me in a quandary. As head of the Government I had to ensure the success of the NEP objective of reducing the disparities between the bumiputeras and the non-bumis. This reduction must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich. It wouldn't do to have parity among the low income and middle income only, while big businesses are all in the hands of the non-Bumiputera millionaires. 6. While most Bumiputeras who were given shares and opportunities to do business abused these opportunities, a few tried seriously and some of them succeeded.

  • Engaging 'Mat Rempit' with Interactive Camp Intervention To
    International Journal for Studies on Children, Women, Elderly And Disabled, Vol. 4, (June) ISSN 0128-309X 2018 ENGAGING ‘MAT REMPIT' WITH INTERACTIVE CAMP INTERVENTION TO PROMOTE SELF EMPOWERMENT Dr Mohd Suhaimi Mohamad Dr Nasrudin Subhi Dr Aizan Sofia Amin Dr Norulhuda Sarnon ABSTRACT Involvement of young teenager as "Mat Rempit" terminology used in Malaysia for those engaging in reckless as well as illegal racing is alarming. Previous research found that teenagers are easily involved as Mat Rempit because of many factors such as peers influence, curiosity, lack of family attention, poverty and mass media influence. Besides illegal racing, there has also been an occurrence of Mat Rempit portraying aggressive behaviours and engrossing with drug or alcohol misuse. Due to their attitudes, the number of accident and teens committing a crime is increasing every day. This situation could be worse if there is no action order to reduce the number of teenagers who involved as Mat Rempit. Many of them have been arrested by a police department after they were allegedly racing illegally on the street. Many rehabilitation programmes in curbing the issue have been conducted, but most of them have found a dead end. Therefore, this paper discusses the effectiveness of interactive camp intervention approach as a way to engage with Mat Rempit. There are four psychological instruments used to explore self- empowerment levels before and after camp intervention which include components of self-esteem, assertive, resilience and leadership. A total of 30 participants were identified through purposive sampling to participate in the camp intervention program for a month. Local bikers club assisted the sampling process of using a snowballing technique to ensure that all recruited participants are Mat Rempit.

  • FINANCIAL CRISIS and BAILOUTS Chedet.Co.Cc March 5, 2009 by Dr
    FINANCIAL CRISIS AND BAILOUTS Chedet.co.cc March 5, 2009 By Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. I was in England recently and the newspapers were full of dismal reports on bank and business failures, the closure of well-known businesses like Woolworths and Baratt, the increases of unemployment rate with some 700,000 professionals among the 2 million laid off or unable to get jobs. And there were lots more bad news. 2. The British Government is busy bailing out banks and companies with hundreds of billions of pounds but the economy seemed to have gone into recession despite all these efforts. There is no sign that the crisis is on the mend. 3. Malaysia can feel vindicated because all the things we did in the 1997 - 98, crisis, which were condemned by the economists of Europe and America, are now being done by them blatantly and on a massive scale. They talk about trillions of dollars and hundreds of billions of pounds in bailouts. Where the money is coming from is not revealed. Have they been keeping these huge sums for such an emergency? 4. I am not a financier or even an economist. But somehow I think the bailouts are not going to work although they worked in our case. 5. This is because the banks and businesses we bailed out did not get into trouble because they abused the systems or indulged in fraud. They were forced into that situation because the currency was devalued by currency traders and they found themselves unable to meet their commitments. Once they gained access to funds through bailouts they were able to do business again and to repay the money they had received.

Amir’s strong resilience and other soft skills that assisted him to be outstanding in his academics and career may have resulted from his caring and supportive authoritative mother, countering his strict and harsh authoritarian father, with an ecological system of protective factors and developmental assets strengthened by religiosity and spirituality.

A 784 301 Studienblatt: Dissertationsgebiet lt. Publizistik und Kommunikationwissenschaft Studienblatt: Betreuerin / Betreuer: Prof. Thomas A. Bauer Eapecially dedicated to My Sunshine, Amir Fariz Zakaria & My rainbow, Dani, Andi and Aaron Acknowledgement Syukur Alhamdullilah. Thank you Allah for giving me the will and strength to finish this research. I cannot believe that this chapter of my life is about to end and that I am about to embark on a new journey. I can still remember the first time I came to Vienna, five months pregnant and terrified of the new culture and language, which were all quite alien to me. But, I believed in fate and that God has decided what is best for me and that helped me to be confident with myself and stay strong, despite being alone in a foreign land, caring for a baby. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without the support of my Husband, Amir Fariz Zakaria who made a big sacrifice, the moment I told him that I was going to Vienna to pursue my PhD studies. He selflessly became a single dad, and took care of our two boys. For that, I am forever indebted. Thank you for always talking about me to Dani and Andi, taking your time to Skype with me despite the seven hours time difference, visiting me when I got sick, encouraging me when I am about to break down and instilling confidence in me when I feel my world was about to shatter into pieces.
