The Invisible People

It has been brought  to my attention  that some people bitched behind me.
I don't know any of them nor met any of them.

But as they say u cannot close the mouth of the vase.

They say I employ  ghost writers. I have never employed any. Even during sickness I typed with my left finger. No one can replicate my thinking.

Some say my writings  are crap. They have not even written a single sentence.
Funny nearly 27 million read crap.
There must be something  wrong!
People are envious.

Shame on them for claiming  they are  my friends when they are clearly  not! We don't know  each other.

They are the invisible people known only to nameless people.

I still read extensively. I have the Sarawak Report and the Billion Dollar Whale.

I have books by Xi Jinping, Deng Xioping, Ezra Vogel, Erskine May and Lord Denning.

I am going over The Sarawak Report at the moment.

The Unforgettable 1MDB

If reports are true that Justo has, returned to Switzerland  and the son of murdered Hussen Najdi is too scared to be witness that is a big blow to the credibility of Muhyiddins government.  It suggests that this administration  has gone soft on corruption  in general.

It suggests that it's alright  to steal billions of Ringgit as long as all is recovered. That is utterly  wrong!
Even if all the money is recovered the original crime is not erased!

Let me be more blunt. Its like saying that its alright  for Najib and his goons to crash into our house and sleep with our wife or wives and daughters. Najib is Malay and UMNO!

That would further suggest that Malaysia does not respect the law and malays have no values.

Both cannot be true! I hope Muhyiddins government  has not gone soft on corruption and the Malays hold  their true north  in moral and ethical compass.

The Bonnie and Clyde couple of Malaysia  must received their justiciable comeuppance.  One in Sungai Buloh Hilton the other in Kajang Hilton.

Muhyiddins uninspirational look must never mean the thieves come back  and wantonly partake  in the spoils of victory.  And if society keeps quiet about it our beloved  country will  go to the dogs.  The mullahs of PAS are compromised by the intoxication  of unbridled power!

Trees for forest.

There is a toddy drinking Malaysian Indian asking the IGP to arrest Tun Mahathir, Tun Daim and Lim Guan Eng.  Maybe he's drunk.  Maybe he drank 1 bottle but drunk like drinking 10.

There are now concerted attempts through gutter journalism to divert our attention absolved Herr Najib and blame others. In that process we fail to see the forest for the trees.

If this clownish  man who is so remote from the persons he asked to arrest can do with So then I who was Najib's Ketua Penerangan and AJK bahagian a fortiori has got more locus standi to ask the IGP to arrest Najib.

If the gov has proof that these people have done some wrongs  it can ask the I to  arrest them.  Even Najib  who has clearly committed  the heist of the century remains scott free!
The court of the people ought not  to be influenced  by the climate of the day but will be affected by the flavour of the era.

The bigger picture is that Najib stole from us! We must not forget that!

Oddly he's silent on arresting the embezzler in chief Najib son of  Razak. Maybe Najib  sent him crates of thali merah. Dei thambi!

What I find strange is that some journals find it justifiable to dignify the muttering of a drunkard.

Covid 19: Opening the floodgates, to corruption.

The world is facing the pandemic Covid-19. President  Trump erroneously called it the Chinese  virus. There are more Americans now affected  by the virus.  Shall we call it the American  virus? Sounds so racist, doesn't it?

As a response  Malaysia implemented the MCO which has now been extended  to 14th April 2020.

But out of our misery and inconvenience, some of our leaders saw it fit to implement qustionable policies.  The Malays  have a saying:scooping fish out of muddy waters. We are not going to be silent.

I am going to talk about it without fear or favour. Friends  or foes.

Why for insistence  must there be a policy to buy inhalors only from  Pharmaniaga? Suddenly  the MOH doesn't know where to buy the equipment.  Or shall we continue to drink much  warm water as the minister suggested.  After  all he is a clever person.  Apart from  his Mbbs he has, 2 ba.

Perhaps  the most ridiculous  proposal  is to have our roads sanitised.  Pardon my ignorance, but I thought the roads are heated by the sun.  And at 60 degrees all viruses are exterminated!

Next shall we be asked to buy face masks and hand sanitizer from a particular source?

I think Muhyiddin should stop all these nonsense..... Unless the Chinese saying is true: "If the top beam is crooked, all the rest will not be straight"

Greetings everyone.

I realised there are many grammatical mistakes in my writings lately. As many of you know, I am recuperating from stroke and this may have impaired my physical abilities. 

Your indulgence is much appreciated. Thank you.

Why Najib is hateable

There was an article saying at long last, TDM's hatred for Najib is exposed. That apologetic regurgitation shall not go unchallenged! It does not require TDM to hate Najib. The jowlish Najib is intrinsically repulsive.

Najib is H. Weinstein and J. Epstein rolled into one Clyde Barrow of Malaysia and David Duke of UMNO redneckism.  What's there not to hate?

Najib became MP when his father Tun Razak  passed away. It was also the result of the Malay fetish with ascriptive character.

A person is assumed to inherit the father's leadership qualities. How wrong can people be?

Didn't the Quran tells us there comes a person whose narrative about the world doth mesmerised us but behind us plots evil? The person destroys our livestock and farms!

Tun Razak built Felda, Najib the evil son dismembered it and called the settlers who refused his ploy "haramjadah"?

Look at NFC. Najib allowed it to happen. When the top beam is crooked, all the rest will not be straight!

When Najib became MP, he could not even speak Malay properly prompting one ex-adun to remark,
"Awak ni kalau minum arak baru lancar!"

Where Tun Razak was humble, Najib is feudalistic. Where TR genuinely cared for the people, Najib  was hypocratic. Where TR shook our hands firmly, Najib's handshake is limp! That's the measure of the man. Still wonder why Najib  is so repulsive?

I remember once, Najib visited a kampung in Pekan. He saw people living in chicken-coop like dwellings. He asked wryly "Do people still live like this? "
The people of Pekan can only respond in their typical manner : kepala bapak awak!

Don't ever forget Najib's role in 1MDB and the various GLCs where he may have received  money.  Of course he will do Mad's Alfie - me don't know anything.

1MDB was an ab initio evil in design hatched by a diabolical mind. If he continues to claim he doesn't know anything then he is using a loophole in the law to commit a crime! Judges called it Lacunae in the law.

In the end, Najib is an over hyped and an overvalued man!

So I asked again, do we need TDM to tell us to dislike Najib?

The Economic Transformation of Malaysia: Part 2

When we were asked to look East, we were not shown how the Japanese lived. How do we emulate the Japanese? 

We can get rich if we are actually shown how others succeed. Exposure is the answer to success. People must be physically exposed to living examples if they are to progress. 

That is why the ECR project must be carried out after eliminating the corruption element. People and trade are exposed. Competitive advantage can operate, businesses can prosper.

The present government must honour its promises -- all of it, not 60 or 70 percent. You think the people care two hoots when you have achieved 70%? They don't give a damn! Have you abolished tolls? Have you written off or reduced PTPTN? Petrol and diesel? Have you reduced the price of gas? Please don't give nauseating excuses. The government does not operate on profit motive! That's Government 101.

It is time for this government to set up SEZs in economically-depressed areas such as in the East Coast, Sabah and Sarawak.

To insulate the people from knowing how to behave is a half past six solution. We must not build iron curtains of economic ignorance. 

The concept of self sufficiency is a mythified concept. No one can exist as a Robinson Crusoe economy. The more isolationist you are, the more backward you become. We learn this from China's experience. China was able to free itself from poverty when it opened itself up and freed the creative energies of its people. Now it is embarking itself on the Belt Road Initiative. The ultimate objective is to expand the market for Chinese goods and services.

The Lesson for Muhyiddin is this: He must forcefully remove all barriers that impede the creative energy of the people. 

One of these is the enervating and numbing racism perpetuated so long by UMNO and its blackcoat allies.

To prevent people from learning the object lesson is actually a form of pompous selfishness. Hopefully the creation of the SEZs will free the creative energies of the people. We must stop believing  that progress is possible only as top down. 

But the government can help in some ways -- create micro financing facilities for the rural people wanting to do businesses and specialised financing facilities for urban people. The collateral  must be minimal. The old and the infirm must continue to receive direct cash allowances.

There must be some ways to reduce carte blanche cash disbursements. While politically correct, our people must be taught  there is no free lunch and that rewards accrue to one's contributions.

Pragmatism must underlie decisions taken by the government. Do not be constrained by theories that worked elsewhere. The acid test is, Does this work here? At the end of the day, we shouldn't care whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches the mice.

Successive Ministers of Information failed Mahathir. There were no programmes showing etiquettes of success. We were left to our own devices. That is wrong.

Now the current Minister of Information must show why Muhyiddin is right for Malaysia. He must endear Muhyiddin to the people. Otherwise, all the apparatuses of opinion-building he has at his disposal are useless!
