THE MODERN MIDDLE KINGDOM Chedet.Co.Cc Jujujuneju Ne 1515,, 2009 by Tun Dr THE MODERN MIDDLE KINGDOM Chedet.co.cc JuJuJuneJu ne 1515,, 2009 By Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad 1. Ancient China considered itself the centre of the world and called itself the Middle Kingdom. And well it should. It was far more advanced in every way than Europe of the Dark Ages. Maybe China is thinking of making a comeback. 2. But we already have a new Middle Kingdom now. During Lee Kuan Yew’s triumphant visit to Malaysia he made it known to the Malaysian supplicants that Singapore regards the lands within 6000 miles radius of Singapore as its hinterland. This includes Beijing and Tokyo and of course Malaysia. 3. Of course this self-deluding perception places Singapore at the centre of a vast region. It is therefore the latter day Middle Kingdom. The rest are peripheral and are there to serve the interest of this somewhat tiny Middle Kingdom. 4. Kuan Yew also explained that the fear Singapore Chinese would control Iskandar whatever is not justified. Malays can also work there. It is good to know that Malays can also work in their own country. I wonder as what? Maybe someone should make a study of the Malays of Singapore just to know what it is like to be a Malay minority in their own country. 5. As for the 3 sen per 1000 gallons of raw water supplied to Singapore Lee says it was absurd for the former Prime Minister of hinterland Malaysia to ask to increase it to RM8 per 1000 gallons. I don’t know where he got this. Some Malaysian officers did suggest this figure but we were ready to bargain and maybe settle for RM3. And why not? Johore sells raw water to Melaka for 30 sen, 1000% higher than to Singapore. And Melaka is, I believe, a part of Malaysia! Some Malaysians may see the irony of this. 6. The great 5th Prime Minister has decided that since the people of Johore did not want to sell sand to Singapore, Malaysia would not build any bridge, straight or crooked, or negotiate and settle the other issues like the Central Provident Fund, the Railway land. Maybe the 5th Prime Minister thinks he is punishing Singapore. Actually he is giving Singapore what its wants including the 3 sen per 1000 gallons water until 2061. Think of how many grains of nasi lemak we can buy with 3 sen in 2061. Imagine what 1000 gallons will earn for Singapore at that time. Can’t think of a more astute PM for Malaysia. 7. All those who met the great man from the little country were lectured on how Malaysia should be run. We should not have anymore problems now. We have been told the direction to take. MCA must help UMNO to win because Singapore does not want an Islamic Party like PAS to win. We must ensure this. Sorry PAS. Working with the DAP, the offspring of PAP has not endeared you to Mr Lee. 8. I have a lot more to say about this little Emperor but I will reserve it for later. 419 Comments ayu_87 December 13, 2009 at 9:52 am | Permalink Kepada saudara Ah Beng Saya tak pernah menyesal lahir sebagai orang Melayu. Mungkin pemahaman saudara mengenai Islam terlalu sedikit, nak tafsirkan sesuatu pun tak betul.Ceteknya ilmu saudara!!! Kami memang mempercayai perkara ghaib malah wajib. Memang ada saya dengar pendapat… orang bomoh orang dalam perniagaan Melayu malah selalu saya dengar. Perkara ni memang betul terjadi tapi saya rasa kalau seseorang individu tu iklas memohon perlindungan Tuhan pasti ia dilindungi juga dari kerja jahat bomoh2 . Lagi satu kerana percayakan Tuhanlah jadi adanya Tangan yang memberi lebih mulia dari tangan yang menerima maksudnya disini disisi Allah seseorang yang memberi sesuatu tu pangkatnya disisi Allah lebih mulia dan pangkat peminta sedekah jadi rendah…maka kalau tak nak pangkat kita di sisi Allah rendah jadi kene selalu berusaha, berusaha dan berusaha untuk berjaya.kalau nk tolong orang Melayu bagi mereka susuh itupun salah. Sebagai pemimpin dalam Al-quran pun tanggungjawab besar, kalau cume nak bagi susah apa pula pemimpin ni nak jawap pada Tuhan bila dia meninggal dunia…takkan nk jawab semata-mata nk suruh maju saya bagi rakyat susah. Saya rasa orang Melayu ni perlu lebih belajar Al-Quran untuk lebih maju bukan duniaje malah akhirat. Semua dh ada dalam Al-Quran..Contohi nabi Muahhammad SAW…Ibu saya cakap dunia ni ibarat penjara..orang yang merdeka dari penjara ini hanya orang yang dapat KEREDAAN ALLAH. ayu_87's Gravatar ayu_87 December 13, 2009 at 9:01 am | Permalink assalamualaikum Tun… semoga Tun berada dalam keadaan sihat sejahtera dan dirahmati Allah sentiasa. Tun saya berasal dari Johor. Saya rasa walaupun Singapura maju tapi rakyatnya terhimpit mungkin mereka terpaksa maju. bayangkan untuk memperoleh lesen moto pun perlu bayar hampir RM 3000 banding di Malaysia hanya RM 211..kalau nak beli kereta pun boleh guna hanya beberapa tahun sahaja…lepas tu takleh pakai dah than kene beli kereta baru lagi. Kalau beli rumah pula..lagi lain cerita. Saya rasa isu air tu mungkin kita anggap sedekah sahajalah. Semoga satu sedekah yang kita beri Allah gantikan dengan sepuluh kali ganda. Ada satu masa tapi saya tak ingat sangat bila.. Pasal isu air ni mereka kata nak gunakan air kitar semula.. Tapi saya terfikir, air kitar semula yang bukan secara semulajadi ni adakah ia suci lagi menyucikan.bolehke air dari kumbahan orangni diaorang guna semula untuk ambik air senbahyang? Kalau di Malaysia ada juga tempat tadahan air, tapi di Singapura tiada gunung ganang. So memang terpaksa juga beli dari Malaysia. Saya rasa dah tak releven lagi jual air harga 3 sen 1000 gelen.Tapi dah perjanjian mungkin nak sedapkan hati anggap sedekah je…Cume air yg mereka rawat tu tak perlu Malaysia beli semula, mungkin bila kita tak beli air..Mereka dh tak de tempat nk simpan air yang banyak tu jadi Singapura tak kan beli air dari malaysia dalam kuantiti yang banyak. Bila keadaan dh macam ni mereka pula akan minta bt perjanjian air yg baru…Saya fikirla tapi tak taula kalau Singapura boleh sampai jual air tu kt negara lain pula. ah beng's Gravatar ah beng July 27, 2009 at 12:03 pm | Permalink Sinagporean are stress people with tight population and pressured life.I did not see much room.no wander the smart one left. now they pay COE for their vehicle,this and that for everything,I am not surprise the next 10 years you have to pay COE for your wife and sent them to scrap if you can,t afford.

State of the Arts: Government, National Identity, and the Arts in Singapore Abstract In the 1960s, countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia were wreaked by ethnic violence. Race riots broke out in Malaysia in 1969 between Chinese and Malays. In 1973 and 1974 anti- Chinese riots and pogroms erupted in Indonesia. Amidst a sea of ethnic unrest, the Singaporean government became aware that the multiethnic nature of Singapore rendered it vulnerable to riots.Memories of the 1964 race riots and the 1950 Maria Hertogh riots were still fresh. The government hoped that the creation of a cohesive national identity would reduce the risk of ethnic and racial violence. In this project I examine the development of national identity in Singapore from 1965-1990 to see how the government and civil society interacted to create a national identity.

  • Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei
    © Lonely Planet 175 Penang Think of the term ‘Southeast Asia’. South and east of what? Essentially, Asia’s most influential countries : China and India. And for all the impact these titans have on the continent, there aren’t many places where their societies meet in unfiltered, immediate cultural contact. Then along comes Malaysia’s smallest state: Penang. In a teak townhouse, an Indian man places joss sticks in front of a family altar studded with pictures of the Hindu god Rama, the Chinese bodhisattva Kuan Yin and black-and-white photos of his Chinese wife’s departed ancestors. Later the couple may eat a curry of cinnamon bark, shallots, tamarind, coriander and chillies – ingredients sourced from Malaysia’s mother cultures of Indian, Chinese and Malay. Local food, by the way, is one of the top draws of the ‘Pearl of the Orient,’ but the living cultures those dishes stem from are the real reason to visit. Penang is the only one of Malay- sia’s 13 states to have a Chinese majority population, but rather than feeling mono-ethnic, it exemplifies Asia-as-entrepôt that is this nation at its best. Physical vestiges of the colonial era – low slung townhouses, narrow alleyways, tea shops, temples, Chinese mansions and Little India districts – make a visit to Georgetown eminently rewarding, while beyond lies a landscape of jungle, lakes, beaches, a cosy national park and, yes, a cool hill station. South of one Asia, east of another, and Asia condensed. This state is about experiencing the continent’s culture and history at its oldest and most evolving.
