Datuk Seri Najib Razak was crowned today the “Father of Moderation and Transformation” by the World Chinese Economic Forum (WCEF), which said the prime minister’s “fair and just leadership” had benefitted the Chinese community “tremendously”. WCEF chairman Datuk Michael Yeoh said in his speech at the conferment ceremony here today. This was the major news item of the day. WCEF is a gathering of

If the crowd at the Rapat Rakyat yesterday night in sleepy Gemas is an indication, Negeri Sembilan will fall to the opposition at the next GE. It does not matter whether the elections are held in the next few months or later nearer a full 5 year term. It will not make any difference on the outcome of the elections- BN will suffer massive losses and lose its mandate.  Those politically untutored

 Sekarang kita tahu, UMNO dan BN tidak kuat. Bila Muhyidin rasmikan dan hadhir dalam majlis Sayangi Selangor pada 31 disember 2011, dengan barisan artis yang seksi seksan, hanya 5000 orang hadir. Selalu nya bila ada artis, orang akan datang bersyusyun syusyun. Pada masa yang sama, kerajaan Selangor yang di pimpin oleh PKR mengadakan suatu majlis agama yang di kendalikan oleh Zizan Raja Lawak dan

Dalam masa seminggu ini saya di hujani soalan adakah benar saya dan saudara Aspan Alias akan memasuki DAP? Cuba baca berita yang mula2 di keluarkan oleh Malaysian Insider. Disana di nyatakan bahawa tiada keputusan yang di capai. Ertinya, karya MI itu bersifat spekulatif. Demikian juga rencana yang di keluarkan oleh Free Malaysia Today.. Artikel itu juga bersifat spekulatif dan menimbulkan lebih

I am more interested in establishing credibility in a proposition, idea or plan. Accordingly I am not fixated over an idea nor feel xenophobic on having to change my position if necessary, in the interest of achieving credibility. For example, while I am not immediately taken in by the idea of listing Felda Global, the rational economist in me accepts that it makes good business and economic

Dalam dua minggu ini, saya ingat saya sudah mendengar semua kenyataan tolol dan bebal dalam negara kita. Rupa2 nya saya salah. Tiba2 senator Ezam Mohd Nor mengeluarkan suatu kenyataan yang mengatasi kebebalan kenyataan2 yang sudah2. Mula saya ingat Muhyidin Yasin sudah tebiat bila menakutkan orang Melayu mengenai ancaman keatas Melayu oleh bangsa lain. Setelah itu, ketua penerangan UMNO

People called me and asked when will I come up with part two in the article where I wrote about Anwar jumping up and down at the place gates. Where he does a Sivaji the Boss routine and maybe sang a few Hindi songs. I ended that article by suggesting, it’s Tengku Razaleigh who will become the pace setter and the play-maker. That will have to wait a little while more as I analyzed a few things

Saya harap dengan keterangan yang ada dalam surat ini( mungkin juga ada manfaat jika di beritau artikel ini di tulis oleh seorang cybertrooper UMNO) dapat merungkai misteri bagaimana suatu blog yang menyarankan warga Felda berhijrah dan menyanyi lagu2 muluk tentang penyenaraian Felda sebenaranya hanya reproduce apa yang di berikan oleh

Anggota Umno diminta tidak mendabik dada dengan kejayaan parti mendaftarkan 3.4 juta anggota setakat ini, kata Ketua Penerangan Umno Datuk Ahmad Maslan. Beliau berkata, jumlah sebesar itu belum menjamin kemenangan Barisan Nasional (BN) pada pilihan raya umum akan datang. “(Ini kerana) ahli Umno hanya satu per empat daripada 12 juta pengundi,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Seminar

 The other day, I watched the late night news on TV3. It ran an interview it had with DPM, Muhyidin Yassin. The DPM says it’s an uphill battle for UMNO and BN. I say man- UMNO leaders are contradicting each other. Two vice presidents say UMNO is ok. The deputy president says, not so ok.  One of them must be lying. Or- if they are saying something that’s opposite to what Muhyidin says, they mean

Rahim Tamby Chik( RTC) says there are attempts by the opposition  parties to invite Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah to become PM. This will happen Rahim says, if there is a hung parliament. Such a situation is untenable says Rahim because it will create political instability. So UMNO must work hard to get a 2/3rd majority. Those were the observations and musings by (RTC) on the political possibilities

I have not read the personal attacks by the lard layered brain in the human apparition called Big dog. I have been alerted to them by a reader. If he chooses to go personal and engage in ad hominem attacks, I have no problems with that. I will respond in like manner at my own time. But if he has to resort to personal attacks over an opinion, then he hasn’t got any substance with which to rebut my

Pray tell, how you come to that conclusion? Because the people at MAS, AA and Khazanah promised us they did nothing wrong. It was planned as far back as 2 years ago and we want to engage in some futile

Let us show you a few examples. Perhaps then readers will understand what all the fuss is over the AG Report. Bizarre overpricing- the National Youth Skills Institute (under the Youth and Sports Ministry) approved the purchase of a car jack that cost RM50 for RM5,700, a digital camera that cost RM2,990 was bought for RM8,254 and RM1,146 was paid for a set of technical pens with a market price of

I find two comments that deserve to be read by a wider audience. Both are strong opinions on the article that I just wrote.  In my article I wrote about UMNO being the dominant partner in BN in the peninsula.  But as the first commentator wrote, this position doesn’t invite envy at all. UMNO could very find itself orphaned soon. Assuming that if 18( out of 20) of the seats now held by MIC, MCA

We are sometimes, no let me restate that- always appalled at the snootiness of lawmakers who poke fun and trivialize the serious side of governance. A clear example of such attitude involves the recent nonchalant responses surrounding the delayed supply of the auditor’s general report. It is true there is no law that demands the Auditor’s Report be given alongside budget documents. Using the same

It was almost written so as not to attract attention- State oil firm PETRONAS will award contracts to unlicensed energy services companies to encourage greater competition in the oil and gas industry.  That’s new.

A few days ago we heard the plans by the MCA president to contest in the next GE. He hasn’t decided where to context professing humility that even though he’s president and a winnable candidate, he can’t impose his will anywhere. So where will CSL contest now that he has revealed that 3 MBs of Johore, Perak and Negeri Sembilan have offered him seats to contest? It’s difficult to believe by that

From the beginning the public did not understand the rationale of UEM land, a member of the UEM group, with its large land bank would want to buy into Sunrise.

At least the TPM was blunt enough - it is an election budget. No two ways about it. It is a sedative designed to lull the masses for short period of time the one time handout will sooth their immediate pain.

Let us speak with openness. Can we expect the over RM 4 billion to be spent as handouts, one off at that, be expected to be a principal transformative element of the 2012 budget? Out of the 232 billion, 180 billion will be spent as OPEX. That’s money to spend on operating the economy; paying salaries, servicing existing loans etc. Can that be the transformative ingredient? That leaves 50 billion

Here is the reason why PM Najib isn’t heeding the unsolicited talking-tos and advice of Dr Mahathir. He has that one tool which he thinks can earn the loyalty and allegiance of people who will ensure BN stays in power. The BUDGET.   It’s themed as a transformative budget. The only transformative feature in a budget described to induce that effect, is converting a cashless person to a person with

I found Walla’s comments on my recent article too rapier-sharp by nature, to leave them mothballing as mere comments. In citing Walla, I find sweet revenge too. Walla’s comments can’t be touched by any of those mercenary bloggers on a secret UMNO payroll.  Any time I write critically of Mahathir, there’s this buffoon who says I am paid by KJ.

Screw the professor who said this country was never colonized. Screw too the elder statesman who said, technically this country was never colonized, yet in fact it was. This was the same statesman who pontificate us for many years during the UMNO GA, that we have been colonized for over 400 years. Altogether now people- tiuuu kau! Well now, I can have some fun too at the verbal gymnastics game.

Study the 3 points:-1.         In an attempt to bolster the fortunes of the flag carrier, state asset manager Khazanah swapped 20.5 per cent of MAS stock for a 10 per cent stake in Asia’s biggest budget carrier Air Asia on August 9. 2.         The swap enabled Air Asia bosses kemo-sabe Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and his Tonto partner Datuk Seri Kamaruddin Meranun to sit on the MAS board and will

The MAS –AIR ASIA deal. Will the ending of this secretive corporate deal be like this? - Air Asia buys over MAS? No, not even that- its finally give Tony what he has always wanted- own a piece of our national airline. That will make him a Prime Minister in the airline industry.  Sometime in the future, the Khazanah people together with CIMB I suppose, will lend Tony’s Tune Air a lot of money to

We hear of disturbing news that 15,000 MAS workers want the MAS-AA deal stopped. They have threatened to not vote BN in the coming GE. Is this the proverbial spanner thrown or does it suggest that the MAS-AA deal was indeed opaque and shady? I asked the Oracle of Syed Putra- can the MAS-AA deal be stopped?  And what do you think of the deal? It’s difficult for anyone not to impute some massive

This article should be read as a continuation of my preceding piece. Is UMNO running on depleting reserves? It doesn’t seem to have the principles, the weltanschauung, it’s not driven and it doesn’t have leadership. The last was mentioned by Tun Mahathir. He says UMNO hasn’t got leadership. My take is, that is the damnest indictment on Najib’s leadership. In not so many words and in so

Were these the reasons to disembowel MAS in the first place? (1) MAS suffers leadership problem.(2) it can’t handle rising fuel costs. (2) MAS is caught in the traditionally weakest business period.  Are we being led to believe that these 3 what? Parameters? variables? are only unique to MAS? Then perhaps MAS should look for alternative fuels since it is suggestive that ONLY MAS operates on

It is moving away from immovable UMNO. The doleful and almost pleading wish of UMNO people generally is for all the nightmares affecting their political future will go away. As a self-reassuring measure, they tell themselves, things will be all right. The people will come back to UMNO because UMNO fights for Malays. So, UMNO leaders everywhere say, things will be ok. Zahid Hamidi says, UMNO will

I am not finished yet with the MAS-AA Saga. But I shall leave the issue for now as I go through the various financial reports from several research firms. I must thank these people for e mailing me. I will have to relearn some of the basics in Corporate Finance as I have forgotten the meaning. But I shall be back. Just a bit before we move on. The whole deal involving AA-MAS reminds me of the

Deconstructing the MAS-AA deal. Once again, the government is on track to creating monopolies in almost anything. The government is not for free market. It wants exclusive rights.  It is behaving exactly like what the NEP hawks demand- legislate rights. This government is careless on its responsibility to take care of our assets. It fritters them away. It wants quick fixes. For the government,

Done or no done deal, we will continue to offer looking at the deal from different angles. What are the issues over this deal? One commentator sarcastically said, TF would say poodah to all that I have written. Hopefully he will also say that to those others who write critically too about this deal. But, hello Friend, TF is not Tamil. Try sending him Deepavali card if you would. He would instead

We will let the boss of Khazanah say anything he wants at the moment and have his 5 minutes of fame. At least we are spared his new found religiosity. Everyone would be forgiven to think; this is the last word on the issue because the boss of Khazanah says the whatever you called it of the deal between Mas-Air Asia, it is defensible. Among other things he says, this is not a bail out of MAS. We

I have another  installment of my session with the Oracle to write. But that has to wait because I have been itching to write something on the surprise share swap of MAS shares with that of Air Asia. Surprise to whom may we ask? To the unquestioning public and easily duped masses, comes the answer. You see Malaysians are easily duped into believing that something of this magnitude suddenly crops

I am repeatedly asked about the identity of the Oracle. I shall have to decline the request to reveal his identity. The identity of the oracle is not important. It should remain anonymous as long as it can be. Then I will be able to share information which is spoken candidly and in full candor. I had a good laugh when someone suggested that the Oracle is Sanusi Junid. That someone commented I was

Once again, I have the pleasure to share with readers, the current thoughts of the Oracle of Syed Putra. To refresh the minds of readers, the Oracle is the alter ego of Tun Daim Zainudin. You can almost say what the Oracle says is what Tun Daim thinks. It seems now, whatever Tun Daim says is carefully analyzed. And Tun Daim is a dangerous seer. In 2008, he predicted the loss of BN in 5 states.

About two weeks ago, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah launched an NGO named Angkatan Amanah Merdeka. It's known as AMANAH for short. News about the launch was picked up mainly by the alternative media. Those portals supporting BN and UMNO wasted no time casting ill intentions on the part of Amanah and on Tengku Razaleigh himself. The mainstream papers on the other hand, hiding behind the self-righteous

If Palanivel is the deeply religious person everyone seems to think and has any moral compunction, he will decline the offer of a cabinet post. But as everyone knows, these MIC leaders have too much of the mandore-quotient to let this opportunity go. Surely, we will be told that in the name of service to the nation, Palanivel will accept the gratuitous offer for a cabinet post. Why not? It comes

There's a practical side as to why I usually break up my articles into several parts. One is I am writing from memory and therefore the output depends on my power of recall; if the issue at hand has decelerate I can discontinue. I am also able to include responses to comments that come in if I judge them to be of material relevance. Many of the comments on my articles on Amanah for example said

This is a gathering of concerned citizens. On the stage forming the committee members of Amanah were Kadir Sh Fadzir himself, Daniel Tajem, Subramaniam( a former MIC deputy President), Tengku Razaleigh as chairman, Ong Tee Keat, Bujang Ulis from Sarawak and a sitting MP from Sabah. The audience was made up of mainly concerned citizens of all races with Malays making the predominant number. I am

Last Friday, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah launched the setting up of another NGO. It is called Amanah. Its full name is Angkatan Amanah Merdeka. The name suggests that, independence and the wider meaning term, freedom, is a responsibility entrusted upon our shoulders. It seems the main ingredients of an independent nation are being eroded and violated with irresponsible impunity. Our economy is

Was the Bersih agenda wrong? The agenda was simply the call for the EC to conduct its business cleanly and fairly. That to my mind is a legitimate and acceptable agenda. This government responded by demonizing Bersih. This was all part of the boxed-in mentality of the ruling government to prevent any mass movement snowballing into a popular movement. When it responded the way it did, the very

 Some spell it as tamable. Others as tameable. The fact remains, the marchers cannot be tamed and though battered and aspersed, remained unbowed and honorable. How do we make sense and explain the actions that took place after Bersih ? Let's have our own debriefing session lest we agonized over how the media characterized our fellow citizens who marched on the 9th of July. On the whole, I think,

The object of derision and concern is the Elections Commission. How does the government respond? They did so by demonizing the Bersih Rally. The PM went a step further and went on his, well now predictable, charm offensive. The business people complaining on TV3 about lost business would also not be doing good business on a normal day. But their grievance is now useful to the government because

And then the whole country erupts into chaos. This is what I'm worried about. The government also keeps flip-flopping on whether it will allow the rally to go on or not. It needs to rule with a firmer hand!" Now Ibrahim Ali is making sense. The whole country erupts into chaos because this country hasn't got a firm leadership. But how does Ibrahim Ali define firm?

This present government has developed one distinguishing characteristic not unlike the previous administration. If the previous administration was maligned as being uninspiring and sleeping through its job, this present government isn't that far from being similarly aspersed. How so? It has shown it has a knack of being inept at handling small shocks to the system. Many of us for example are

Each time I write something uncomplimentary about Anwar, some people will say I have a blinkered view of the man. Sorry boys- never met him. Know of him, but never met. So I have no value judgment of the man. I am afraid such counters are manifestation of empty hopes rather than hard-nosed realistic assessment. We hope somehow, through some miraculous and fortuitous turn of events, Anwar can
