What If: Ringgit Pegging of 1998

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all.

1. I am very pleased to announce this new section which I called "What If" section. Just to discuss the alternative scenario had this happened instead of the actual scenario.

2. For the first issue of this section, I would like to discuss with all of you what if back in 1998 the prime minister of the time, Dr. Mahathir had pegged Ringgit equals to US dollar (USD1 = RM1) instead of USD1 = RM3.80.

3. What the outcome would have been? Will our companies become instantly richer than before the Asia economic crisis engulfed in almost all part of Asia back in 1997? Will our people have more buying power than before?

4. Or will our economy collapsed worse than ever by discouraging the foreign investors from coming into Malaysia? Or will we be forced to take a loan from IMF by this action?

5. My opinion: the local companies will be able to take over many other failing companies and the local economy will not be dependent on foreign investment as the power of the currency is high. And the buying power of the people increased as the value of money increased and we can get foreign espertise easier as with higher value of ringgit.

6. So what are your opinions instead? Just think.

Why I love being a Malaysian

I've returned with a video blog now!
Enjoy!
:D
And please do not forget to comment (CONSTRUCTIVE comments that is) on the video.
It'll be very helpful since this is my first ever video blog.

1Malaysia: Realistic Vision or Delusion?

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all.

1. 1Malaysia. A vision of where all Malaysians unite. Initiated by Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak, the 6th Malaysian PM. But, it is a realistic vision or just simply a delusion just to attract non-Bumi to vote BN?

2. From what I have known about 1Malaysia, I can see that 1Malaysia is just isn't going to change anything. Unity? This is not the way.

3. If there's any way to achieve national unity, then one of them is to establish one-school system. Vernacular schools should either become independent from government or abolished totally. And actually, this is what all countries in the world already have. They only have one type of national school in the whole country. Only our country have three mainstream government-subsidised schools in three different languages (Malay medium, Chinese medium & Tamil medium).

4. For school, only Malay-medium type schools to be government-subsidised schools (hey, it's MALAYsia, ok?). Then, racial unity. No more reference as Malay, Chinese, Indians and others. Just refer as Bangsa Malaysia.

5. How to achieve this? First, no discrimination against non-Bumi. No Bumi & non-Bumi. Everyone should have equal opportunities to gain anything.

6. But, the economic distribution must be equal also. If the non-Bumis want the same priviledge that the Bumis have gained, then they must be prepared to share their priviledge to the Bumis as well.

7. If we want to be sure everyone's equal, then the distribution percentage of everyone should be like this in ALL fields from economy control to study opportunies: Malays - 60%, Chinese - 25%, Indian s- 10%, Others - 5%.

8. But this is where the main problem lies: will the Chinese gave up their centuries-old economic supremacy in this country (where during that time British gave them the opportunity to set up businessess in towns when they came to Malaysia) just to get equal political powers as the Malays? No. They won't.

9. Malaysia is one of the few developing nations in the world where the majority race do not hold economic supremacy in their own country as the British has made sure things like that when they left our country. And then we ended up with corrupt governments and greedy people who sold their share of the government's initiative to help Malays to the non-Bumis for a pittance.

10. Then, to further deepens the Bangsa Malaysia initiative (the REAL way) is to ensure that the local populance can only use Malay names (just like Indonesia had done for the success of Bangsa Indonesia initiative).

11. This way only will the 1Malaysia can happen. But it just plain impossible and won't happen even in 1 century later, or maybe even a millenia later....... I'm finishing my 2 cents here....

And then there comes the Ah Long.....

Assalamualaikum & a very good day to all,

1. It's been a long time since the last time I've updated this site. This is due to the immerse time being consumed while creating even one post on this site which I can't give my all at all times since I've got life of my own which I had to fullfill as well. And so many issues have passed by since the last time I've updated this site such as Ah Long, Perak state government conflict, and the latest: PPSMI (Pengajaran & Pembelajaran Sains & Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris) or Learning & Teaching of Science & Mathematic in English.

2. OK. So I finished my ramblings and back to few issues I want to speak on. First issue: Illegal money lenders (or loan sharks) or more passionately known as Ah Longs. Few months back we have seen on front page of various newspapers shown the "victims" of Ah Long brutalities inflicted onto them. Many people sympathises with the "victims" and began attacking and blaming the Ah Longs for being brutal to the "victims". Even the police and minister gave out their word and told the nation that they will eradicate the Ah Longs so that no future "victims" will suffer again from Ah Longs.

3. So you tell me: why the "victims" became like that in the first place? It's because they did not pay their loan right? And I think the "victims" knew what they going to get if they did not pay their loan to the Ah Longs right?

4. So why did the "victims" borrow from Ah Long in the first place if they knew what they going to get if they did not pay their loan? Some of my sources got this: most of them are either hard-core gamblers or have already blacklisted by banks because they did not pay their loans to the banks. Which by the way, most of them have no intention to repay their debt to the Ah Longs either which drives the Ah Longs mad. Even I'm mad if someone borrow money (in thousands) from me and did not repay the debts and instead of paying the debts, running away to somewhere else so that they hoped that the loan sharks won't find them there.

5. Some people might say, "I am not a gambler, I am not blacklisted. I just had to borrow from Ah Longs because it's very difficult to get loans from the banks". Who are we going to blame then? The banks for tighten the rules for getting a loan? I don't think so. Based from the statistics in the country, the Malaysians are quite well-known for being very difficult to repay their debt. Based from here, it's stated that PTPTN (Perbadanan Tabung Pengajian Tinggi Nasional or National Higher Education Fund Organisation) has only gotten RM93m from amount of RM7b that they have gave out to ex-students until 2005. That's only because it's partially government company that PTPTN managed to survive until this day. If PTPTN is just a regular bank or money lender they have gone out of business years ago as most of the borrowers did not repay their loans to PTPTN. That's only PTPTN. I haven't added MARA loans that the borrowers did not pay as well.

6. Based from the statements, no wonder if the banks have strict regulations for anyone who wanted to borrow their money. I am sure they did not want to face the same thing that the semi-government bodies have faced. They are not welfare centres to give out money freely, for Almighty's sake. So, look into mirror, and blame yourselves and those who did pay their loans for the difficulty to get bank loans. And for those Ah Longs so-called "victims" I do not pity them as most of them brought it upon themselves for borrowing from Ah Longs in the first place, knowing that the Ah Longs will do anything to get their money back from those who borrows from them.

7. It's like someone who did bungee jumping and the rope snapped and then he/she blamed the rope for snapped when he/she has understand the very risk of doing it. That's the very same thing happened to the so-called "victims" of Ah Long brutality.

8. I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again....

The Puppeteer

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

1. First, I want to say a bit about the current situation in Perak. It’s totally laughable. If anyone has seen through the political news from last year, until now, it can be seen that PR have tasted their own bitter medicine in Perak.

2. Remember 16th Sept 2008? The date where the Federal Government is supposed to change hands from BN to PR as told by Anwar to his followers? Well, he INTRODUCED the party-jumping tactics in order to take over the government but it didn’t happened. During that time, all PR supporters say stuffs like “it’s for the people”, “the righteous thing to do” and so on.

3. But when BN actually used the tactics against PR in Perak, they squeal like crazy, saying that BN bribed and blackmail 3 PR state assemblymen into becoming BN supporter in Perak. Why’s with such bias from PR supporters? I just don’t get it.

4. Back to the main topic, I have seen one video clip that shows the confession by DSAI that he is friends with Paul Wolfowitz, a staunch Zionist supporter (and he’s a Jew). He is a former US Deputy Secretary of Defense (during Bush Jr’s administration and one of the masterminds of Iraqi invasion) and former President of World Bank.

5. But then I saw one other site that said UMNO also has links to the Zionists.

6. This only brought me to the worst conclusion; the political parties in Malaysia have become like in US, where both sides of political parties has been controlled by the Zionists. They have succeeded in becoming the puppeteer of this nation.

7. They are pulling the strings from the back and laugh while watching our people fighting each other over political differences. In this situation, no matter what we do, in the end the final winner will be the Zionist puppeteer.

8. If this were true, then our country is in grim situation. We must free ourselves from the hidden shackles of Zionist puppeteer. And the only way to do so is to stop the infighting among us and unite.

9. This infighting is one of the main reasons the Zionist can start to slip into the political parties in the country in the first place.

10. Just remember what our history class has taught us back during our high school days. One of the main reasons the British managed to slip into power within our country is through the infighting between the two sides who wanted the power to rule Perak. And then it continues until British gets their hands on the whole peninsular.

11. But instead of them, the British gets the power instead from behind. Do we want to see the same thing repeated again? Just think carefully. I let you do the thinking instead.

12. I hope we won’t repeat the same mistake that our ancestors have done 200++ years before us.


I think that’s all for now. Till then shall we meet again…..

Of Barack-O & Malaysian PM on March 2009

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

0.Intro
Seems like I could not managed to start writing my posting in dual-language as I intended to do before. So, for the time being I will stick to writing my posts in English until I found a technique that will enable me to write in dual-language or embed something that can translate this page into other languages including Bahasa Malaysia as well.

1.International Issues
Now Barack Obama has officially become the 44th President of the United States of America. So what will we expect him to do? Solve US internal problem? That one maybe he can try to improve it. But US foreign policy? No. He won't change anything at all. If he still wants to finish his term in the Oval Office in one piece. In other word, he cannot change US foreign policy at all.
Why? Check the main lobby in White House and the US Congress. It's almost like everyone's will shout "AIPAC" in unison if the question about the main lobby inside the representatives for US states is asked. AIPAC, (fullname:American Israel Public Affairs Committee), is the strongest lobby in the US and they are supporting BOTH sides of the election. And that's making them even stronger as either candidates won the candidate will always supports Israel with no compromise. They are also brought out money worth almost $100 million during the last presidential election for their agenda of controlling "the most powerful nation in the world" from the back. So where are the Muslim nations and organisations? So far they are using the OIC (read: Oh, I See) approach only. That's what's wrong with the Muslim nations nowadays. And I can only hope that someday there will be someone that will change all this. Let us hope for that to happen soon.

2.Local Politics
So now everyone already knew who won the Kuala Terengganu parlimentary seat in the last minor election. From this I can only say this: all the tactics used by goverment have backfired. Many people are not amused by the way they're doing right now. And one of them is the main media bias towards Pakatan Rakyat (PR) which is shown very clearly. And the failure of the government to shut up many of PR accusations on the party members of many cases only makes the PR even stronger. Not to mention the obvious rife within Barisan Nasional themselves only makes them even weaker than ever. And I can only point the problems to one man: Pak Lah. His weakness causing all this. If he were much stronger and tougher (note: not physically but actions) then many of this problems would not has surfaced. And now it's time to start countdown until March 2009 when Dato Seri Najib will take Barisan Nasional (BN) and UMNO's helm from Pak Lah. Then we'll see what he can do if he were to become PM (if Pak Lah were to resign from being PM after he step down from being UMNO & BN president of course).

3.Palestinian Issues
I have read many other news and blogs including comments within the blogs. Many of them accusing HAMAS of breaking truce first. But when I read the Palestinian news the opposite of the mainstream news were told. And I prefer to believe my fellow muslims rather than the news provided by the illegal nation Israel which is very well-known for its mass deceptions to the world. And I just remembered when the news said about suicide bombing is a "terrorist act". Do you know that the Zionists Jews who came to Palestine first executed this act? They are the pioneers of suicide bombing while in Palestine as a method to strike fear into the heart of the villagers at that time. And this is one of the methods they used in order to take over villages from Palestinians by force. And now they are using advanced weapons in order to terrorise the remaining Palestinians in Gaza. So how do you think I can trust those people? They have been terrorising Palestinians for 60 years and still continue and love doing it to the Palestinians. Take time to think about it.

4.Others
Usually I will write about things other than the topics mentioned above in this part of my post. But this time I want to co-relate this parts with some of the parts above.

4.1War Casualties
As everyone can see, the mainstream media have written the number of casualties everytime there's war such as Iraq war, Israel-Lebanon war and the latest, Israel-Gaza war. Usually the numbers of the those who killed/died in the wars are written in thousands when "Iraq", "Lebanon/Hezbollah" and "Gaza/HAMAS" are mentioned. And the numbers of those who killed/died in the wars are written in hundreds or less when the aggresors (US/Israel) are mentioned. I am not saying that I don't sympathise the Lebanese, Iraqis and the Palestinians that died in the wars but are those really the numbers of the victims from those sides? And are the numbers that died from US/Israel sides really that few? Somehow I felt that the number of those who died from the Lebanon, Iraq and Gaza have been exaggerated and the number of those who died from US/Israel soldiers have been underrated by the mainstream media. The number of those who died in the wars may have been adjusted as some form of psychological warfare from US/Israel media to show that their military are strong (and to strengthen their soldiers' morale) and to weaken their enemies morale. I am not saying it is true but it may be a possibility. After all, psychological attacks from the mainstream medias have been a part of their warfare towards their enemies every time they wage wars. What do you think?

I think that's all for now.... till then shall we meet again....

Debate And Aftermath...

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

0.Intro
Actually I don't want to say anything about the debate as there are tons of sources that people can find about the details for the recent debate between DSAI and Dato Seri Shabery Cheek, the Information Minister. But, still, maybe I can also write something else together with it so I give my views about it anyway.

1.International Issues
Currently there are not much. Only the prisoner swap between Hezbollah and Israel has taken place. And the bid made by certain western countries to try the Sudanese president, Omar Al-Bashir to International Criminal Court for suspecting his involvement in genocide in Darfur. But then, sometimes some people wonder why the western countries care so much about Darfur anyway that they neglect many other nation that needs their attention such as Palestine, Somalia, etc. Well, in my opinion, I think there must be something that has to do with oil reserves in Sudan as I remembered that the oil reserves in Sudan has been found just recently, so there must be a lot of it that still left untounched. And waiting to be drilled out. But then, I can only speculate about that. Who knows that there might be some other things that we still do not know about Darfur... Only the Almighty knows.....

2.Local Politics
By the time I write about the debate, its already seems like obsolete... like its been 2 days ago... and DSAI has already captured by the police under pretext of his failure to come to the police HQ to voice out his views on the latest accusation against him. But, still, I am sure that many people has been watching the debate that night, 15th July 2008, 9pm-10pm, titled "Kerajaan PR naik hari ini, esok harga minyak turun" or something like that. And I am also sure that many people can see who's the winner in the debate even though the moderator did not declare it. It is clear cut that DSAI has won the debate. Although I never liked him, but I had to admit that he is good that night. He's quite professional during the debate compared to his opposition, Dato Seri Shabery Cheek (DSSC). DSSC has not answer half of the questions asked to him. And he also gave out weak arguments and continuously attacking DSAI's private life. Then DSAi calmly said "I will not retaliate on the attacks against my private life. This is not the right platform. This platform is on the fuel issue. So I will only focus on that". In a few moment, I am surprised by his professionalism. But still, I can say that this debate is a one-sided battle as many people has already knew who's going to win even before the debate as many people already knew that DSAI is a good debater compared to DSSC.

3.Palestinian Issues
urgh... right now I don't really have anything to say here... just reading the headlines on what's happened recently in Palestine on Palestine Information Center website is enough to make me weep...

4.Others
4.1.
Well, I just remembers about there's one time when our former PM, Tun Dr. Mahathir (TDM) had suggested that we use "Dinar Emas" or Gold Dinar instead of US dollar when trading between Muslim nations in order to reduce and ultimately free the Muslim nations from the shackles of US currency imposed on them. But it seems that the idea never took off as the other Muslim nations are too scared of US retaliations on them if they agreed to do so. What has happened here?? What has happened to the former glory of the Caliphates?? from the Prophet, Muhammad (pbuh) and the Sahabats, Umayyad Empire, Abbasid Empire, Moors of Andalusia, and the last one, Ottoman Empire, until finally it collapsed under Mustafa Kamal Attarturk. Where are the former bravery of the Muslim nations?? Where?? Too bad now the Muslims has fall this low when no Muslim nations dare to stand up against US imperialism on the Muslim world... And too bad that we have only one option left: to wait for Imam Mahdi to come and save us from this evil... erm... actually I want to say about the usage of the Gold Dinar could save our economy from the incoming global recession that caused by the collapse of US dollar... yes... If you read the recent news, you can see that US is heading towards recession, and they're not going to fall alone. Every nation that uses US dollar in trading will fall together as well.

4.2.The Fall of "Paper Money" system
And actually, as I have read from various sources, it seems that not only US dollar is falling, but the whole concept of "paper money" is going to fall as well. What I refer to "paper money" is the currencies that we are using right now, which is available with many names. RM, USD, Yen, Yuan, Euro, you name it. All of those currencies are actually numbers written on paper with nothing to support it as valuables. All the values exists on it are only based on what the system told you alone. If the system collapsed, the values written on it will be completely useless. And, I am not really sure about this, but this system first introduced during the Crusades, when the English King uses paper to replace gold as a receipt in order to pay the support his soldiers. And the modern banking system has been introduced to us by the Jews, which is why they can easily manipulate the values of worldwide economy and currencies. So, the only way to save yourself from this collapse is to possess real valuables such as parchments of land, gold, silver, etc. You can also search on the internet to verify this matter.

I think that's all for now.... till then shall we meet again....

Faceoffs...

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

0.Intro
Erm... In this post, I'm going to emphasize the confrontation between two sides, in both international issue and local issue. As usual.

1. International Issues
As I have seen the news from around the world in few days it seems that the tension between Iran and US is escalated by Iran's action of showing off their new missile, Shahab-3 which has a range of 1000km, putting US closest ally in its firing range, Israel. By doing so, Iran make sure that US-Israel will face terrible consequences shall they wished to attack the Islamic republic. And then, US, using UN as it's shield, said that Iran provoked instability in the region by doing their war games, 3 days in the row, started from Tuesday until yesterday but I'm not sure whether they will continue to commence their war games today or not. But still, I couldn't blame them for doing so as they have already been provoked by US-Israel many times about the probability of US-Israel to attack them just because they are developing their own peaceful nuclear programme. Surely US-Israel doing so on purpose as International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Iran does not intended to develop nuclear weapons at all. I wonder if we are going to see whether Iran will be attacked by US-Israel in few months or years. Only the Almighty knows... We can only pray and hope that it won't happen.

2. Local Politics
Right now most people know about the recent sodomy allergations made against DSAI by Saiful Bukhari Azlan. Sometimes I wonder why some people easily believed when DSAI said that he is being falsely accused while at the same time they did not believed even a bit when Dato' Seri Najib said that he didn't have any relations with Altantuya Shaaribuu. Why? It seems that these people are vey closed-minded as they follow blindly without thinking. Actually I have been thinking, DSAI has been accused once about sodomy about ten years ago. If this recent sodomy allergation is a goverment plot to topple his support, I think that is incredibly stupid move made by the government to do so as some people already believed that DSAI has been falsely accused in previous case. It could have been that DSAI is a bi-sexual, as he also has a wife, with five kids to go with that. Or he may also been a closet gay. Well, come on! He has already allerged with the same accusation twice. I don't think that the government is that stupid to use the same plot twice. But, for me, whether he may be gay, bi-sexual, or anything in his sexual orientation, the only thing that everyone must know that he has a very close relations with US. Supporting him is surely a terrible move in that matter. I'm sure that our country will be under US' whim if we let him become PM.

3. Palestinian Issues
I have to highlight this as many people tend to forget the suffering that our brothers and sisters faced everyday every time the mainstream news shifting their focus from this issue with other issues. For me, this issue shall always be highlighted everytime after main news in order to keep the people alert with the sufferings of those people. Not many people realised that the Zionists Regime keeps forcing the Palestinians off their own homes in order to maintain the most-racist chant, "Jewish Nation and preservation of Jewishness" alive. And they continue to tighten their grip on Jerusalem with many blasphemous actions commited against our 3rd holiest site in the world, Masjidil Al-Aqsa. I don't think many people know that the Zionists Regime has been digging right under the Masjid using the pretext of searching for the so-called Temple of Mount underneath it. But the actions are clearly shown that they are trying to weaken the foundations of the Masjidil Al-Aqsa itself so that then it will collapsed and thus the Zionists Regime can erase the Islamic mark in Jerusalem. Right now they are already conducting the "total Judaization" of Jerusalem by erasing any Islamic marks in the city especially the Old City section. I hope that everyone can see and realise this terrible truth that been conducted right under our noses.

4. Others
From this post onwards, I will write my post in this manner as to ease my readers on the topics that I have wrote in it. This section will be used if there are anything else that I'm going to say about things other than the three topics above.

I think that's all for now, till then shall we meet again...

Ahh... It's been a while...

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

It's been a long time since the last time I've written any post and give my views regarding current issues in Malaysia and Middle-East (especially Palestine).

In Malaysia, there are many things that have shocked the nation since PRU12 ranging from Tun Dr. Mahathir quits from UMNO until the recent fuel price hike which witnessed petrol price rising by 78 cents and diesel price rising by RM1 making the new prices for petrol and diesel RM2.70 and RM2.58 respectively. From my views, this price hike is pure madness coming from a delusional mind of our current PM, Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Well, not really, since there must be something that he's scheming from behind our backs. But still, it is pure madness indeed. All the reasons given by the mainstream media didn't even make sense at all. Especially the "we have to increase fuel price as the price of world's oil is increasing and the government may go bankrupt if the subsidies continue" and "our fuel price is still cheaper than our neighbours" mantra. Malaysia is an oil exporter country. How can the country suffers if the oil price increase? He must be out of his mind to say like this. This is totally illogical. Logically, our country must have profited more from the worldwide oil price hike as we sell more crude oil than we buy them. And about the "cheaper than our neighbours" part. Everyone can see that our neighbours are oil importer countries except Brunei which is an exporter and their fuel price is much cheaper than ours. The only other reason that I can see in this price fuel hike is there are people who profited from the balance of unused subsidies money. Or maybe someone will try to make money out of this price hike by selling NGV kits to the masses. Who knows. Only the Almighty knows why. I only guessing the reasons.

Erm, there are actually some interesting theories I have read from other blogs about the main reason for the lousiness of the current PM and his administration. One of them is that Dato Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah) actually had a secret pact to pass the position of PM to Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim (DSAI). In this theory, supposed that Pak Lah will make the current BN government looks lousy so that people will shift to Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and thus DSAI will become the next PM of Malaysia. I don't know whether this theory is true or not, but it could be true as Pak Lah is the one that released DSAI from jail. And there are also rumours some time ago about attempts made by DSAI to rejoin UMNO. After the rumours are denied by Pak Lah and his disgusting son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin (KJ) then the current government began its downfall.

But, although I already hate Pak Lah & Co., still I don't accept DSAI to be the next PM as well. He is no worse than Pak Lah, with him having close relations with US & Israel. Although the relationship between DSAI and Israel is unclear, it is totally clear that he is a puppet of US neo-colonialism in Malaysia. And also, he has relationship with the Zionists scum as well. First, one of his best friends is Paul Wolfowitz, former US Deputy Secretary of Defense (which he is the main plotter in Iraq War) and former President of World Bank. And Paul Wolfowitz is a Zionist Jew. DSAI also has been featured in Israeli newspaper ( I'm not sure whether it is Haaretz or Jerusalem Post) as up-and-coming next PM of Malaysia. Based from what I have known about world history during 20th century, there is no one who has close relations with US is a nice guy. Saddam Hussein? Had collaborated with CIA before becoming Iraqi president. Weapons supported by US during Iraq-Iran War. After Saddam Hussein goes against US then US attacked Iraq in order to topple him and replacing with other guy who can be used by US. Osama bin Laden? Former CIA agent in Afghanistan during Soviet occupation in Afghanistan and current AL-Qaeda terrorist.

While in Palestine, Hamas and Israel have just agreed to a truce. From what I have followed in this 60-year conflict between Israel and Palestine, the Zionist regime always have something up on their sleeves each time they do something like this. Based from what I read from www.palestine-info.co.uk, Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) have launched an attack which resulted in death of one Palestinian just one hour prior to the agreed truce period. So what can I say more? The Zionists cannot be trusted at all. Not even a bit. The Zionists will stop at nothing in order to totally eradicate the Palestinians from their own land.

Erm... I want to say more, but there's too much of issues I have to cover in this post. So maybe I'll write more about Palestinian-Israeli conflict in my next post.

Till then shall we meet again...

Just an update....

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

It's been quite some time since my last post. I wasn't able to update my blog for few weeks because my finals are coming up during that time. But now I'm free to write a new post again as my finals had finished. Yay! So far, I have seen some updates on the local and international political scenes. From Dr. M, our former premier, who has been a speaker to a forum hosted by kmu.my (if I'm not mistaken) which discussed about the recent political scene in Malaysia. During the forum, Dr. M and his son, Dato' Mukhriz, which is also the MP of Jerlun, urged our current PM, Pak Lah, to bear responsibility for the major loss by BN in the last general election by stepping down as the Malaysian PM.

Which is I also agree with them.

Then there's also issues about the next UMNO general assembly. Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) is already expressing his interest in challenging Pak Lah for UMNO presidency. Which he is getting encouragement by some of the members inside of the party such as Tan Sri Muhyidin Yassin although he's not expressing it directly but from his words, I can see that he support Ku Li's bid in challenging Pak Lah, the incompetent one. While at the same time, we can also expect to see another battle in UMNO youth after Dato' Seri Hishammuddin said that he won't defend his seat as UMNO youth's leader. It is yet to be confirmed but at least two individuals have been named as the contenders for the seat. Dato' Seri Dr. Mohd Khir Toyo, the former MB of Selangor and Khairy Jamaludin (KJ), the current deputy of UMNO youth. There are also rumour that Dato' Mukhriz will also joined the battle but it is still not confirmed yet. For Khir Toyo, he already told the media about his interest in bidding for the post, while for KJ, duhh... he WILL contest the seat as he is aiming to be the PM before he reach 40. In this case, I hope Dato' Mukhriz will join the contest because if I have to choose one from all the candidates, I'll go with Dato' Mukhriz as the other two are severely corrupted ESPECIALLY KJ.

For the political news from around the world, there are many leaders that have seen revolution in their countries as their parties are losing the general election such as Pervez Musharraf, where he lose the parliament to his arch-rival, Nawaz Shariff in Pakistan and Robert Mugabe, where he's not only losing the parliament to his opponent but also almost lost his own seat as the President of Zimbabwe. I bet that he's very grateful to the Elections Commission (EC) as he has second chance to contest off the presidency as there will be second round for the seat. For the US, I don't see that there will be any change to the US foreign policy whether Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain or even Ralph Nader wins the presidency as most of their campaign money comes from American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the most powerful lobby in US which is also happens to be strong supporters of Israel. And you know what, most of Israel supporters are Zionists, which can be an equivalent to Nazi as they're extremely racist. Believe me. There are tons of proofs about Zionist racism in the Internet.

Erm... I think that's all I have to say for now. Till then shall we meet again....

New Dissappointment and Fear....

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,

Okay, so our 'beloved' PM did not stepped down in nearest time as he just had take oath as the Malaysian PM for the new term. But now I can say one thing for him: if he didn't change his ways of leading the government, still "listens to the opinions from the young one (aka Khairy Jamaluddin)", I can say that this term may be the last term for BN to rule the country. The current Oppositions (BA) may come out as the next ruling party in the next general election.

So we go back to other matters in Malaysia. Just a few days after the election, there are already surprises in the this beloved country of mine, that is, Malaysia. One of the most controversial yet is the new coalition government in Penang, led by Lim Guan Eng, the secretary-general of Democratic Actions Party (DAP) and chief minister of Penang, with his decision to scrap New Economic Policy (NEP) in the state he led. Many Malays have been outraged by this decision and the mainstream media only adding fuel to the raging fire by adding racist comments about Guan Eng's decision.

True to that, me myself, at first, was also enraged by that decision. But after a few hours of thinking and trying to remember what I have seen in Penang before, I found out that there's not much difference between when the NEP was implemented in Penang and now. This is because the Malays in Penang before the election has already suffers with lack of development in their areas compared to other areas especially on the island part. You can go and observe for yourself the difference of the level of development between the eastern part of the island part and Balik Pulau, the only Malay-majority area left on the island. I'm sure that you will agree with my opinion on this part.

And from this, I can say that these things happened is all because of one thing: the NEP has not been implemented correctly in Penang. Based on the situation in Balik Pulau, I can say that the NEP has been corrupted and misused by the upper-echelons of United Malay National Organisation (UMNO) representatives in Penang. Only the closest ally and cronies gets the shares from the implementation of NEP. The rest of the Malay masses didn't get anything. And with the 'AliBaba' phenomenon is also rampant during those periods, so there's no way NEP can help the Malay masses in Penang.

Actually, NEP is a nice policy to start with. But the problem lies with the implementation part of it where corruption, cronism and nepotism has ruled over NEP. So the best way now is to scrap it and have the Malay leaders in UMNO Penang Division to think back and change their ways if they ever dreamed of getting the Malay votes back in Penang. And for the current government, I urged the Malay representatives in the Barisan Alternatif (BA) coalition government to do their job of getting rid of all 'ism' that has become the core of the previous government. In other words, do your job properly! One of the main reasons the previous government was rejected because they're not doing their jobs properly. Don't even forget that.

And for the other parts of the world, US as I have expected, they are already planning on an assault on Iran in the nearest time. It can be either in few days, few months, or even few years. But I predict that the assault will be commenced in less than a year after this post published. This is only based from the comments made by US military and President though (not to forget the two US generals that quits because of this matter). So everyone, prepare to brace the impact of another war in Middle-East.

While in Palestine, both West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Israelis as usual arrogantly continues to expand their illegal settlements even after UN resolution has already ruled that the settlements are illegal under international law and continue their assault under the pretext of protecting their civilians while they continuously attack the Gaza civilians. Very hypocritic of them to do so. Actually I have gotten sick of telling the evil deeds that the Israelis have inflicted on the Palestinians but still, I have to continue doing this until everyone in the world realises this gruesome facts about Israel, the illegal nation.

Erm, I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again...

Pak Lah going down?

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,
Now after the general election, there's one big question still lurking on everyone's mind: will Pak Lah step down? Only the Almighty knows the answer. But based from the situation, it looks like he will, if he's brave enough to admit the huge loss to BN in this election is because of him. So, just wait and see in few days to see whether this will eventually come true....

12th General Election Results Gave Major Blow to Barisan Nasional

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all,
Yesterday the results for Malaysia's 12th general election has come out. There are lots of surprises this time. Barisan Nasional (BN) has planned to bring 'Blue Wave' to Kelantan but instead BN attacked by 'Green Wave', 'Rocket Wave' and 'Light Blue-Red Wave' in Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor. This is the smallest majority yet for BN in both Parliament and State seats since the formation of Malaysia. Another major blow to BN is that most leaders of components parties in BN has suffer losses. Only UMNO's president and MCA's president managed to maintain their seats.

Based from the results, it is a clear sign that something's wrong with BN in these 4 years. And based from my observations on the local politics scene, I can say that it's because of UMNO's president, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (aka Pak Lah). He is seen as the most uncompetent PM ever in Malaysia history as he didn;t managed to control his government during his first 4 years in Parliament and Cabinet. He failed to prevent his close relatives from abusing their relations with him. Especially Khairy Jamaluddin (aka KJ), his son-in-law. This guy has abused too much from his position as Pak Lah's son-in-law in order to get what he wants. I don't wish to say many more things about him here as there's already other blogs condemning him in many ways (visit this site and this site as examples).

Another thing is Pak Lah has increased local fuel prices too much. This is also a major factor in this major loss for BN. He shouldn't increase the fuel prices too quickly. During his 4 years reign as PM, he already increased fuel prices by more than 45 cents per litre. You can see it here:

Petrol:
before Pak Lah: RM 1.30+/-
now : RM 1.90+/-

Diesel:
before Pak Lah: RM 1.10+/-
now : RM 1.80+/-

I know that the price increase is due to global price rise, but many people should know that Malaysia is one of major oil exporter in this region. So why the increase? I don't know. You think for yourself why. It's just not logical and very unresonable. Other major oil exporter countries all have many benefits given to its citizens (excluding Indonesia, which is one of world's most corrupted nation). And I have one message to our dear Pak Lah: If you still have balls, you must bear this responsibilty for BN losses and resign from your position as president of UMNO and PM. That's all I can say. And that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again...

Last minute notice for the 12th General Election

Vote which one that you want. The power is in your hands. If you want change or if you don't want any change, be responsible and cast your vote on your favourite party this Saturday.
That's all.
-qreemall-

p/s: By the way, I am NOT associated with any party whatsoever. I am trying to be completely neutral on this issue. Just doing my job of asking people to do their responsibility to the nation, that is, to cast their vote. Thank you.

Let the campaign begins!!

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone,
So the battle of words has finally, truly begans. The election campaign has intensified after the candidates' nominations has been submitted on Sunday, 24th February 2008. And most of them, it seems, will be one-on-one match. Most people has already known that BN has won 10 seats unchallenged. While PAS has won 1 seat in the same manner. So, in the next two weeks we will be able to watch the campaigns and promises each party will offer to voters if they're chosen. Especially BN as they controlled the mainstream media, they're able to advertise on TV and mainstream newspapers for their campaigns. 

While the Opposition has limited space to do their part in the campaign. From my point of view, this is totally unacceptable as this clearly shows that the media is biased towards the ruling party. The media supposed to give equal footing for the Opposition to advertise their campaigns  as well. So we can see that the Opposition has only their own newspaper and websites as their media to advertise their campaigns. So I can only hope that one day the situation will change where we're able to see campaigns from both sides on the mainstream media. So let's hope that one day it will become a reality in this beloved country.

And another thing. I have always hope that one day UMNO and PAS will unite under one party unlike now. If we're unite, then the other races will not look down and try to manipulate us for their own gains. But unfortunately I still short of information on this one. So I also urged people to hope that this will become a reality one day.

Erm... I think that's all for now. Till then shall we meet again...

Malaysia's 12th General Election is coming!!!

Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone,
Although the general election only started after 24th February, which the candidates' nomination day, the election fever has broke out all over the country since the day Pak Lah dissolved the Parliament last week. Everyone has been asking each other where are they gonna vote (only those who eligible to vote, of course, which is applicable to those above 21 years of age). 

Well, there are some frustrated faces seen from two days ago, when each party starts to name their 
candidates for  each seats by each state (both state and parliament seats).  These are noticable from those who has been phased out from the list of candidates to those whose names are not available in the SPR, thus unable to vote. On major media, whether they are the mainstream media or the alternative media i.e. Oppositions media, there's already war of words, propagandas, manifesto and many more happened between them.

And during this period, you can also observe the situation where some MP's suddenly appears from out of nowhere and visits the people under his/her constituency and gives out lots of promises. I don't even want to think about what kind of promises they made to those people. Anyway, during this time, I can say that "the power is in your hands"(unauthorised usage of words taken from Celcom's ad, hahaha). This is the time when you possess the power to choose which candidate that you think is the best to represent your constituency. For some people, they choose the party while some other people tends to choose the person who can actually do the work regardless of which party he/she represents. For me, I'll go with the latter. But, unfortunately I'm unable to vote as I'm yet to register as a voter. Don't get me wrong. It's not that I didn't want to vote, it's just that I couldn't get to register in the constituency where my hometown is as I have different  address in my IC. So, I think that I will need to change the address in my IC before I register as a voter.

But for those who already registered and eligible to vote, do your stuff. Choose your representatives carefully. I don't care whether you're going to vote for BN or Oppositions (PAS, DAP, Keadilan) or Independent but do what you must do. I think that's all for now.
Till then shall we meet again...
