The enemy at the gates. Tales by an unknown blogger. No 19.

1. UMNO is behaving like the Malay says- your index finger points straight, your pinky pulls back. Or like the English says, run with the hounds, while hunting the hare.

2. It's the enemy at the gates- while subsisting and surviving under the enabling structure of PH government, it continues to corrode the structure.

3. Which leads me to thinking- are the PKR hoi polloi a bunch of intoxicated bozos and mofos?

4. They are allowing UMNO to impose its revisionist principles on PH especially PKR, DAP and AMANAH. What's disappointing, these are meekly answered.

5. The hawkish elements in UMNO take every opportunity to run down PH or otherwise berate PH, elevating the importance and relevance of UMNO. They are helped further by UMNO fifth columnists in the social media.

6. The Akmals will irrationally object to anything by Chinese, regarding them as having sinister motives. These Chinese things are alleged to be inspired by dap of course. Dap in turn is enabled by PH.

7. To the Akmals, the mere presence and involvement of Chinese inspired by dap and enabled by PH ,is a source of vehement objection.

8. From running rice retail businesses, running grocery stores, questioning money making crap by JAKIM etc, are all allowed by PH. PH therefore deserves the disapprobation and condemnations .

9. At the instigation of the Akmals, we are moving dangerously to an Aryan inspired melayu Uber alles. Who is behind them. Discredited UMNO is the answer.

10. The Akmals will of course believed their objections as perfectly justified and rational but we know they are suffering from the Don quixote syndrome. They see at every corner, a Chinese dragon devouring hapless Malays .

11. Will sane and cool headed Malaysians step forward to stop them and their puppet master, UMNO?

12. What's next? The banning of pork eating, eaten only by non Muslims? Banning the use of chopsticks forgetting the fact millions of Chinese Muslims eat using chopsticks and ignoring the fact these Chinese were Muslims earlier than Malays? Or going berserk over a visiting China ship . That's blatant racism!

13. Perhaps they are busy karaoke -ing somewhere singing Kuch Kuch HOTA hai or nonaku Azizah. If they do that, I am afraid their beloved and venerated Nana Non will be a one-trick pony .

14. Unfortunately the PKR bozos are not answering the Akmals's irritating diatribes with equal aggression. It's not a case of turning cheek la bozos and mofos .

15. Let me say it again - I support Nana Non but will not shy away from being critical of him in appropriate times. For instance, don't let me start on his pasembok quantitative easing strategies giving out money now and then . Handling the economy is not like eating nasi kandaq beratok, Nana oi.

16. The case of the Nurjazlans is an interesting one. At first the Nurjazlans will say the Chinese are opportunistic. Hey, you can't take out the racists out of them.

17. But if the Chinese give them favours, like even bribing Malays, the Chinese are good!

18. But at least nurjazlan is a more honourable person than I. He went to a Chinese sinseh and got his acupuncture treatment. Thereafter he proclaimed that actually not all Chinese are opportunistic.

19. If it were me, I would have gone to a pretty Chinese lady acupuncturist, allowed her to poke all her needles in me. Then ,if ada chance I'll poke my needle in her! Thereafter I'll proclaim that all Chinese are good maa. All's well that ends happy!

20. Meanwhile don't be comforted and lulled by wak 47s Johny come lately statements. He is acting out the proverbial Malay saying, the house is completed, only then the chisel makes noise .

21. The damage has been done. So Zahids Johny come lately advice was hardly comforting. It's the good cop-bad copy routine. We can read through his grinning hypocrisy.

22. I am telling the PKR bozos, if they want to retain power,they must read Machiavelli. But first, they must answer akmal's, nurjazlan and UMNOs mutinous conduct.

23. Wasn't it Machiavelli who said a fatal mistake is to share power with your enemies? UMNO is always, the enemy at the gates.

A phyrric victory. Umno in mahkota. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 18.

1. I wasn't interested to a make a posthumous, err I mean a post election comment on the mahkota buy election. Untill I heard the Johor mb said the mahkota victory is a manifestasi keyakinan terhadap kera jaan Johor.

2. By which he actually means confidence in him and UMNO, more of him. We have no quarrel with the young man on his ego trip. What do you expect from an UMNO warlord?

3. But he is wrong on one thing. It's not confidence in him or UMNO but confidence in the leadership of Nana Non. Or Mamu Non.

4. I intentionally said posthumous really as I think the old UMNO is dead. The UMNO now is full of robbers, with its unchecked corruption, plunder and its naked neo Nazi principles.

5. The old and original UMNO is dead and with it the halcyon days. Gone are the days where UMNO can win elections alone and soon where it thinks it can put up batu and kayu as candidates.

6. The victory in Mahkota was won because UMNO is part of PH. The victory is an endorsement of Anwar's leadership, not UMNO

7. Definitely not of wak47s leadership. He can only grin.

8. Umno is on respiratory apparatus now. It can only live as long as it receives oxygen from PH.

9. The rule is now, UMNO cannot win on its own. Extending the rule further, it means that if UMNO is absorbed as part of the government where its in the minority, UMNO must absorb others into the government where it is the majority .

10. The principle of a unity government must be reflected universally. UMNO can't say it doesn't want a unity government in areas where its in control but greedily wants to be part of the government where its not in control .

11. It means, there must be the principle of give and take. If a stupid boy says there is no need for a unity government in Johor, let's hope that's not UMNOs inflexible principle .

12. So despite the euphoria and the jubilation of a PH victory, the readings between the lines are not lost on the more perceptive UMNO leaders.

13. Which included the principles that UMNO will never win elections on its own, that it can never convince non Malay voters and that UMNO must compromise.

14. And the most important rule of all- UMNO is part of the government at the pleasure of Nana Non and the intelligence of a subservient wak47. UMNO needs a wak47 , despite the ever looming 47 marbles.

15. The fact is that UMNO is increasingly dependent on Nana Non.

16. Accordingly, the hardliners, the hawkish elements in UMNO, the bigots the extremists, the Akmals will slowly disentangle themselves from mainstream UMNO.

17. Those left behind will be the open , liberal and pragmatic minded who accepts the way forward is to cooperate with PH . These can fortify support for Nana Non.

18. The alternative choice has gloomy consequences. If the argument of there is no necessity of forming a unity government in Johor is accepted, in states where PH per se is strong, it's equally true , they don't need a unity government with UMNO either .

19. Hence, in a tit-for-tat measure, there's no need for a unity government with UMNO in Penang, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan or maybe Perak.

20. I won't discuss the reasons for the poor non Malay voter turnout in Mahkota. the party having to do introspection is UMNO.

21. I think it is Mawi who sings a song called menang dalam kalah. For UMNO at Mahkota, it's defeat in victory .

Shyster UMNO. Tales by an unknown blogger. No. 17.

1. The deep state in the social media is at it again. The DS consists mostly of UMNO operatives, apparatchiks, surrogates and fifth columnists.

2 . After weeks of hurling insults and disparaging mother Teresa Kok, they now turn over and play the victim .

3. Previously, they were saying Teresa is raising irritable questions again, DAP is causing divisiveness etc.

4. Why should ideal social setting be in terms as how UMNO defines it?

5. Now, Teresa's refusal to share the same stage as racist Akmal and refusing to cease legal action is said to be detrimental to the unity in the unity government.

6. Says who? Says the group belongings to the state. The group consisting of UMNO operatives, surrogates , fifth columnists and fellow racists like Akmal.

7. Didn't they say, Akmal has the blood of a warrior? A moronic warrior more like it.

8. Beware of these opinion shifters. Previously akmal was the hero defending the sanctity of Islam. Now he and UMNO are the victims, the result it seems because of Teresa's stubbornness.

9. Haven't UMNO or Akmal heard of the Malay saying -alang2 seluk pekasam, biar sampai ke lengan, terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlak kata buruk padah nya. Or the English saying, having made the bed, you must now lie on it. Be an anak Jantan, man.

10. Apa tanda si anak Jantan, matinya ditengah gelanggng, tidurnya dipuncak gelombang, makanya ditebing panjang, langkahnya menghentam bumi etc.

11. How is it Teresa's questions on the halal certification issue be a cause of divisiveness but akmal's maniacal outburst and pejorative description of Teresa isn't?

12. Is it because Teresa who questions the halal certification thing is a Chinese, while Akmal is Malay protected by the hak istimewa orang melayu? Itu macam ka aney?

13. An equally toxic statement threatening the unity of the Unity Government were the statements issued by nurjazlan Mohamed Rahmat.

14. Some of the contentious things he said. The Chinese are opportunistic people. It would be easy for the Dap to convince the. It's easy because the dap has its red bean army. These statements ought to be disputed by dap leaders.

15. Meaning, what's not said are:- if UMNO is the government, it will not and can't give the Chinese equal opportunities. It will discriminate against the Chinese as of right . Because the Chinese are by nature opportunistic as defined by jazlan, they are naturally ravenous and rapacious people.

16. UMNO, because of its untruthful nature will never be able to convince the Chinese and will never be able to gain the trust of the Chinese. UMNO does the Ali baba method- farms out the task of gaining Chinese support to DAP.

17. What's not said is that UMNO has no faith in its uncle Tom partners, MCA and MIC to garner non Malay votes .

18. By describing the Chinese as opportunistic, UMNO betrays it's natural mistrust and dislike of the Chinese. Why should the Chinese want to support UMNO when you have jokers like akmal and nurjazlan Mohamed running around?

19. No, it's not easy for the Dap to convince the Chinese ( read wiser) to support UMNO. Precisely because you have a toxic and defective product to sell in the first place. DAP people would require the skills of people selling ice to the Eskimos to convince the Chinese. And the Chinese are picky buyers

20. Finally, it is said , it's task would be made easy because it has the 'red bean army'.

21. Umno is playing the same old record invoking the non existent red bean army. The army only exists in the imagination of UMNO bigots and racist. There is no red bean army while UMNO has its cyber troopers. Who's zooming who?.

22. Don't you all see, the statements of nurjazlan is a preemptive ploy to explain a possible loss of UMNO? If it loses, it can then blame that loss on DAP.

23. Actually, this mahkota buy election ( not by- election) causes more hurt to DAP. It is better for Dap to do it's normal duty rather than going all out to campaign for despicable UMNO. Remember, Dap is fighting for PH, not UMNO. Unfortunately in this mahkota buy- election, the lines between campaigning for PH and UMNO are blurred. The dap finds itself in a situation where you swallow your mother dies, if you spit it out, your father dies!

Part 2 of the halal certification issue. Tales by an unknown blogger.

1. Akmal Saleh may be a medical doctor. But that qualification is certainly and proven in fact as no sign of superior intelligence. In retorting to Teresa's opinions, he was careless and impetuous.

2. His caveman politics immediately comes to the fore. He takes a club and bashes people who opposes him on the head. He has a tunnel thinking level.

3. He and people of his persuasion and temperament, adopt the shoot first and ask questions later. Whomsoever touches some administrative aspects of Islam they go into fits of irrational anger .

4. The racists, bigots and religious zealots get unnecessarily fired up because of Teresa's concerns about the halal certification issue. It's the halal certificate yes, not aqidah.

5. Teresa kok was berated because her concerns arose because of her ignorance of the meaning of Halal. Her worries it is said comes from an Islam hater, an Islamophobic, her actions tantamount to meddling of Islamic matters. The PN rottweilers are accusing her of insolence and biadap.

6. Umno fifth columnists in the social media are quick at milking the issue. They write of Teresa of causing disunity, DAP is causing trouble again. Is not causing trouble imply keeping quite even if you disagree?

7. I am sure many non Muslims, not only Teresa know that Muslims don't eat carcasses, pork, lard or blood etc. They certainly know that halal encapsulates cleanliness, hygiene, food preparation etc.

8. If halal also means that, that covers most of the Muslim eateries. Especially at mamak stalls where we don't want shirtless cooks and Mr rat and Mr cockroach scurrying around.

9. If as tuan Ibrahim tuan Man says, Muslims have rights over the halalness or haramness of food stuffs, then because of Halal requirements, Muslims have rights over cleanliness, hygiene etc, don't they?

10. We will not dwell indefinitely about what concerns and worries Ms Teresa. Her concerns provide me, a Malay and a Muslim to ask several inconvenient questions.

11. Has anybody stop to ask why is it, that food joint operators, Muslims and non Muslims chose to air and channel their worries to mother Teresa?

12. Why didn't they go to Akmal , pas leaders or PN rottweilers? Because these leaders have tunnel vision and because the food joint operators don't trust them .

13. Don't you think that's a terrible indictment on the determination of these leaders to fight against a possible form of social injustice? You cant trust UMNO pas or pn people.

14. I look at the halal certification issue as a money making machine, as an oppressive tool, as a means to affirm the master slave relations and a means to show who's boss in Malaysia.

15. Don't be misled into believing that this halal non halal certification exercise is for spiritual salvation per se. It's a money making machine disguised as a religious commandment . Let's see the money trail .

16. If there's halal sticker, there has to be a non halal sticker. That's how you establish the status of halalness. The foodjoints selling halal food products are obvious. Those selling pork, alcohol, lard etc are non halal right?

17. This means JAKIM will issue 2 stickers. This generate income X which can be millions .

18. Next they will carry out a CF exercise to certify the foodjoints are clean, hygienic, heathywise etc. This generates income Y. The sum of X and Y represents big money for JAKIM.

19. JAKIM doesn't produced anything, but a legislative construct, fleeced money from food industry operators . Better still if the halal thing is done seemingly on religious grounds.

20. Sure, we interview some Muslim operators. Because of religious affinity and smarminess, they all say they won't compromise on religious commandments.

21. But wait untill they find out,they have to fork out a few thousand ringgit to get the halal certificate

22. The very same people will scream blue murder accusing the PH government as oppressive. Not helping poor people.

23. We can understand the responses of PAS and bersatu barking dogs. But what of UMNOs response? Does it forget it's also part of PH? Perhaps it's better for UMNO to be in


the opposition. 24. Imagine if halal certification is mandatory for all. Pasar malam operators would have to display it, stall, kiosk and food court operators would have to display it. Restaurants in pulau ketam and kukup or in pangkor would have to display it . Restaurants in hotels even airlines would have to display it. See the billions JAKIM would be raking money. Welcome to the bosskue club. Apa mahu malu?

25. Who's printing the halal- non halal stickers? JAKIM has probably farmed it out to some Chinese companies.

26. Surely not directly to these Chinese companies. But through intermediary companies owned probably by JAKIM hotshots, Muslim clerics or horrors, by UMNO warlords .

27. If so, then as per akmal's dictat, the owners of these intermediary companies, must stick a special sticker on their foreheads or some strategic part of their anatomy.

28. It must read-the halal and non halal stickers have been circumcised and ' sibghah'. Ie have been circumcised and baptized in holy water .

29. Don't you think this is fair if Teresa kok have to paste a non halal sticker on her forehead?

30. I have a nagging problem. What if a Muslim joint meet the requirements of halal food items but failed to meet requirements of hygiene, cleanliness and health? And what if non Muslim joints failed in terms of food material but meet the requirements on hygiene, cleanliness, health, technology and food handling etc? Mahu bikin apa?

31. Halalram?

32. If you read carefully the proposal, it's meant for companies selling pork, alcohol,lard etc. In other words , for joints operated by non Muslims?

33. You non Muslims don't care about that? The mandatory requirement proposal discriminates against you. By implication, the requirement is not mandatory to Muslim operators. Have you ever seen a Muslim eatery displaying a no pork no alcohol sticker? Nahi!

34. In so far proposing the mandatory requirement, JAKIM is only furthering UMNOs neo nazi version of religion. Weaponising religion to discriminate.

35. The mandatory proposal also serves to entrench UMNOs master race ideology. The only other group pursuing this ideology was Hitler's Nazism

36. By forcing the indians and Chinese to follow the requirement, JAKIM is showing who is the master race and who's boss in Malaysia.

37. While this kind of nonsense is going on, we are busy promoting the 'ini kita' advertisement on TV. We put on an elaborate show declaring kita sama, anak India, Cina kadazan anak kita. At the same time we allow scumbags like Akmal, UMNO and JAKIM to try enforce the master race ideology, pursue it's Klu Klux Klanish idealogy and Jim crow laws

38. Wak47 may say the verbal spat between Akmal and Teresa may have ended. He speaks for himself. Akmal will remain the petulant child. Teresa has spoken about something which ramifications are beyond what she herself has envisaged. The floodgates are already opened.

39. Many of us are disgusted at akmal's description of Teresa as a nyonya tua. But I also note that the nyonya can cause some sexcitement in the MP from lengkawi. Wasn't he the one who fantasizes the nyonya tua wearing nothing?

40. Many was surprised at the PMs reprimand on Teresa. The matter wasn't even discussed at cabinet level, yet nana non was displeased at Teresa's comments. Perhaps he wanted to out- Muslim the others.

41. I am surprised though he didn't display love and care for Teresa after he said he learns these lessons from Alex Ferguson.

42. Except I am confused as to which Alex Ferguson he talked of. The Alex Ferguson I know is a Scotsman, hailing from Scotland with a thick Scottish accent. There must be another Alex Ferguson running around in the fish and chips kingdom, hailing from east London speaking with a heavy cockney accent.

The halal certification issue. Tales by an unknown Malaysian. No.15. Watch for part 2.

1. There seems to be a deep state in the cyber social media. The UMNO way of thinking media operatives have penetrated deep in social media reporting.

2. By a deep state, we mean the ever lurking presence of media operatives, colluding with media owners who are determined to amplify and embellish sensitive issues .

3. Their purpose is always to create mistrust, friction and antagonism among the various races in Malaysia. They won't rest until the dominant race overwhelms the other races. In other words, other races must acknowledge that the malays are the master race. Everything they want must be enforced fully.

4. Hence the recent uncouth and uncivilized response by the maniacal UMNO youth head , was seized as an opportunity to create mistrust and suspicion between chiefly, Malays an Chinese.

5. We have not been paying attention or largely ignored these elements of the 5th estate, operating through the social media, purveying their havoc creating and malicious viewpoints.

6. The presence of these racist and bigoted groupings with outlier viewpoints cannot be underestimated. Their viewpoints have slowly become mainstream.

7. Their purpose is to sow seeds of dissension, mistrust and suspicions on non malays. They create strife, pit one race against one another

8. Without many realising it,that's the UMNO way of thinking. Always furthering the master-slave social structure.

9. So beware of this insidious groupings of just-reached puberty holders of outlier viewpoints. Their main purpose is to create strife within our society .

10. So, the retort by cincalok eating maniacal UMNO youth head is given much prominence and sense of chest thumping triumphalism.

11. You can't help , but sense a tone of triumphalism when akmal says nyonya tua and paste a non halal certificate on Teresa's forehead .

12. Well, the joke's on you, Herr oberst akmal. It reflects your bigotism, racism and perennial animosity and antagonism towards non malays. And sadly your upbringing.

13. He's certainly not the person that malays want to be represented by. Non malays abhor him. But don't expect the not so bright wak47 to realise this. He's just thinking that akmal is a useful idiot to apply pressure on Nana Non.

14. I look at the halal certification issue a little differently. Here's my thinking.

15. Long time ago, Sukarno said that give the average Indonesian a set of unform, he thinks he has unbridled authority and gets big headed. The same could be said of the malays

16. Giving a license to JAKIM people is like giving a uniform to the average Malay. He thinks he has unbridled authority and gets big headed. Especially giving a uniform to skulled cap mofos

17. Giving sole authority to JAKIM can open the floodgates to corruption abuse of power and all sort of wrongdoings to these guardians of our belly .

18. Don't give us the BS saying that because these people are malays and soldiers of God, they won't do these shenanigans. Remember, Kalau tak makan suap bukan melayu dan yang kuat makan suap sekali ialah orang UMNO,!

19. The JAKIM officers may ask for under the counter money or some other forms of gratification.

20. Let me ' story you'. Long time ago, when I was an UMNO adun , I came across a typical case involving a Malay Kuantan city council official .

21. A single mother applied for a stall from the Kuantan city council. The officer said he will support her application. By the way, said the officer. I am going for a kursus in genting. Will you accompany me?

22. How would you know if some JAKIM officers will not do something similar as a condition to get a halal certificate?

23. Giving a JAKIM officer without having safeguards or some others watching over him is a sure recipe for some wrong doings.

24. We just don't trust these divinely inspired goons looking out for Islamic interests, including halalising the F&B industry. Almost always, those who claim to look out for Islamic interests are the ones violating them . Look at those looking out for TH. TH is now in dire straits . The same could happen to JAKIM.

25. Let's be clear. The management of Islamic affairs is the sole prerogative of the Muslims. Non Muslims cannot absolutely interfere in its affairs.

26. Not unless it infringes on the rights of non Muslims . The recent ' interference 'of Teresa kok must be seen in this perspective.

27. By her own admission, voicing reservations about the halal certification issue is not interfering in Islam. We have no reasons to disbelieve her, unless we can prove otherwise - in court. Not within Akmal's mentally challenged audience.

28. Having removed this issue, let's examine the motives of the halal certification by JAKIM.

29 . Even as Muslims, we have reasons to suspect and doubt anything done by JAKIM. Didn't the public saw JAKIM complicit in the meat scandal at one time. Weren't there meat cartels selling off kangaroo and horse meat to Muslims and other consumers?

30. Either JAKIM didn't know about it because it's officers were busy playing with their dicks or JAKIM has earlier on practised its own DNAA-do nothing at all.

Sakmongkol the unknown blogger

1. From henceforth, I shall be known as sakmongkol the blogger. No more the AK47 suffix. There are a few reasons for this change.

2. The AK47 is a gun. It symbolizes violence. I disavow any forms of physical violence. Especially in the transfer of political power. It should be done as permitted by democracy. Through elections. So, out with violence. Power does not grow out of the barrel of the gun .

3. It may sound comical. 47 is the number of charges proffered against the Japanese neanderthal. I vehemently protest the DNAA- do nothing at all. It's mathematically and statistically impossible for some of the charges not to stick. The judiciary and the AGC have a warped sense of mathematics.

4. Therefore I do not want to be associated with the suffix 47 in any way. That's it.

5. So I humbly ask readers to adjust to the new blog name. I shall continue to write in the same style. As a matter of factly and in your face style. Or in the words of Tan Chee Koon, without fear or favour.

Blackrock and MAHB. Tales by an unknown Malaysian. No. 14.

  1. As an economist, I looked at the black rock-MAHB issue differently. In my mind, black rock shouldn't be faulted for planning or deciding to purchase equity from MAHB.
  2. From the perspective of politics, there has been a universal condemnation on black rocks planned or consummated purchase of equity in MAHB
  3. Bloggers, vbloggers, politicians have written extensively on this issue.
  4. For instance, the blogger, finance tweeter has written an exhaustive and well researched article on black rock. Readers are recommended to read that article. Hishamuddin Rais, a man whom I admired since his UMSU days, have spoken many times on this issue.
  5. Politicians of various shades spoke on this. Dr Mahathir the Great has spoken on this .
  6. Almost all are united in their condemnation of BR's purchase. Perhaps justifiably so because of BR's umbilical links to Israel. For various reasons including security .
  7. Umno is understandably quiet on this issue. Either it doesn't know or because it worships money especially if the money is gotten free or secured through the Najib method. Or unless the buyer is KK Mart.
  8. I cannot add any more to these persuasive arguments. I am a 'samdol' from this political perspective.
  9. The UMNO and Dr Mahathir s prescription on the MAHB problem is predictable. MAHB should go to Putrajaya , bowl in hand as money from the government to bail it out. That's the UMNO and Dr Mahathir way out .
  10. This is where the economist in me disagree with TEM. I will ask the following questions.
  11. The basic question is this. Why is it necessary for MAHB to sell an arm and a leg? Why why?
  12. To me that means MAHB is a losing concern, a badly and improperly run business.
  13. If it lost money because it was badly managed and improperly run, then it deserved to gobroke. If MAHB had gone to Putrajaya and asked nana non to have it bailed out, that would have been unconscionable
  14. That would be asking taxpayers to pay for the reasons that caused MAHB to lose money in the first place. Tiu sama lu!
  15. As an aside, all government owned companies which lose money shouldn't be allowed to see the finance minister alone. They must appear before a parliamentary financial aid committee to justify their request. The committee must then have the request debated in parliament.
  16. You cibais, don't think it's that easy to fleece taxpayers money. By the way, what happened to sapura energy? Has the government bailed them out on the quiet? News about it have been hushed hushed .
  17. It's a consolation that MAHB didn't go to Putrajaya and asked nana non to bail it out. Or if did go to putrajaya, the government showed them their 2 fingers .
  18. MAHB was incorporated as a private limited company. It's a profit centre, if it makes losses , it deserves to die as per free Enterprise system.
  19. MAHB did the next best thing. Go into the market to find parties to buy up equity in MAHB. The found a buyer by the name of black rock.
  20. You want money don't u? So why does it matter if black rock has got Israeli pedigree? If you are not happy, ask the 10 richest Malaysian companies to buy up 30-40% equity in MAHB. Out of Uber patriotic reasons.
  21. Any incoming investor will want most of the old management team members in MAHB removed, because they were the ones who caused MAHB to lose money in the first place. That would be the right thing to do, what?
  22. The Mahathir and the UMNO way of solving the MAHB issue is to have the government bail out MAHB. The media would be screaming, bail it out, it's a bumiputera operated outfit.
  23. I don't think the same vigor and agitations would accompany MAHB if it were a company run by Mr poh kee mak or Mr tong Sam pah.
  24. I am a Malay too. But I don't suffer nor do I subscribe to the 'melayu Uber alles' mentality .
  25. Which is, that the CEO and most of MAHB's management team must mandatorily be malays. If they are no good and competent, they ought to be replaced by other abler and competent malays or even better non Malay Malaysians.
  26. Our priority is MAHB not being trapped by the ethnicity claptrap. We, after all don't care whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice .
  27. Why do I not care at all if the CEO is not a Malay? Because having a Malay as CEO is no sure recipe for success. He doesn't bring with him a sure guarantee of success more so if he is incompetent.
  28. I am fed up of the racial stereotyping, very vigorous when describing non malays, but deliberately leaving out the stereotype description of the malays.
  29. The full stereotype phrases should read:- kalau tak membelit bukan India, Klau tak menipu bukan cina, kalau tak rasuah bukan melayu , melayu yang paling rasuah ialah UMNO. Instead of limiting the stereotype description to non malays only .
  30. The UMNO and the Mahathir solution to the MAHB issue is predictable. The government MUST bail out MAHB because it's run and operated by bumiputeras, albeit incompetent ones.
  31. Prompted by the ' melayu Uber alles' mentality, some people insist that old bumiputera management be retained, refusing to acknowledge that this team was responsible for MAHB's loss in the 1st place.
  32. Or if they are replaced, they are replaced by the same privileged and incompetent mofos . Not by abler people
  33. Following the old way, the outcome is inevitable. The business will be run by incompetent fools and be mired in corruption. Remember the steriotypical description? Kalau bukan rasuah bukan melayu
  34. It's not always good to be always proud of your ethnic lineage! A little humbing and reality check is always in order. What is the word usually used by apologetic liberals? Ah yes, muhasabbah diri!
