Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown. Part 1.

1. Congratulations to Ismail Sabri for being appointed our 9th PM.

2. Although I have been rooting in for Ku Li, I accept the choice. So be it.

3. Now that he has the post, can he hold it? I hope he can. It depends on what he does.

4. At the top of his priority is the management of the COVID pandemic. We have reached 22000 cases a day and an accumulated number of 1.5 million cases. There have been a total of 15000 deaths. Many have committed suicides.

5. Wasn't Ismail the architect of our Gulag? Citizens have been subjected to repeated MCOs and FMCOs.
I hope the FMCO does not mean Free Malaysia's Corrupted Officials.

6. It maybe true that the pandemic is a Godsend, but the solutions to overcome it are definitely man made.

7. So far, the government management of the COVID pandemic has been lousy.

8. The previous PM said that herd immunity would be achieved by October 2021. That is bull. Already we heard of vaccination centres running out of stock.

9. More allocations were given for the COVID management. But it's also true that we were and will continue to be donated with millions of dollars worth of vaccines. Also, why is Pharmaniaga allowed to buy vaccines in bulk and allowed to retail them?

10. It seems to me the management of the pandemic is subjected to excessive regulations. It's as though someone is out to make money out of people's misery.

11. Hence, there were cases of fellers selling vaccines, frontliners injecting empty vials and selling appointments. Why are these happening?

12. The implementation of the rmco has been topsy-turvy and seems to be done whimsically and made up as the authority goes along.

13. And the person responsible for the confused Gulag is Ismail Sabri.

14. To illustrate our management of the pandemic :-

⚠️ BLOOMBERG: The COVID RESILIENCE RANKING - The Best And Worst Places to Be as The World Finally Reopens

Published June 28, 2021 🔗 https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-resilience-ranking/

15. Pray for Malaysia, not its leaders

Got this msg from my doctor today.

Starting next month, Khairy is selling Sinovac to private hospitals and clinics. Meaning that hospitals have to buy them from middleman Pharmaniaga (which is owned by Khazanah, chaired by the PM and his cronies). Cannot buy directly from the manufacturer, because then how else to makannn?

According to Harian Metro, the market price of Sinovac is US$5 (RM20) per dose. Now look at the price my doc quoted. Selling at RM180 per dose, and that is still below cost price! (Not sure which one is the cost price, but it sure ain't RM20.)

Factories also have to pay to jab their employees. No jab, no open. Oho.... do you see where this is going? How the govt twists our arms? Factories have to pay RM90 for 2 jabs.

I was talking to this pakcik today. He was very angry. He said, "You see, so many countries gave us free vaccines, and what do they do? They sell them. They get them for free, but they sell them to us. They make factories pay for it. You see how much money they are making???"

Wowww....... Factories have thousands of employees. 80% must be jabbed if they want to open. They are forced to buy these grossly overpriced products whether they like it or not, and they must buy it from the only one govt-appointed crony supplier. The money is not going to the govt and back to the rakyat, it is going to Pharmaniaga and into the pockets of Moo and his cronies. So Japan, UK, Saudi giving us free vaccines is not actually giving the people free vaccines, it is taxing the people and putting more of our money into our ministers' pocketses!!!

And this, boys and girls, is how you make money off a pandemic. This is why they will never approve ivermectin. This is why they are letting people die sitting up in chairs and on hospital floors. If everyone recovered quickly, to whom would they sell vaccines? If you can treat a patient for less than the cost of a pillow at a quarantine centre, what else is there left to makannn???

This is why they made the darurat. The chairman of the board of Khazanah is always the PM. Makan for as long as he can. Jab as fast as they can before they get kicked out, even if means packing 20,000 people into one stadium per day and creating huge clusters of infected people. And then blame us tak jaga SOP. Khairy, Hisham, Adham, Moo and the lot of them are going to a very, very dark place where the sun won't shine for a billion years. All the people who slept sitting up in chairs, suffocating from lack of oxygen, dying on hospital floors, died because of them.

NEVER. FORGET.

How many more need to die for their greed?

Add:
Pharmaniaga is selling 14 million doses of Sinovac. It is being retailed at RM388 per dose. 14 million x RM388 = RM5.4 billion. This is all going into Pharmaniaga's pockets, not the govt.

Covid Issues.

1. There are more competent people who have written and can write on the issue of COVID-19 pandemic from several aspects. I am sure of that. Medical professionals and well-informed people and so on.

2. I am merely raising some questions that are a cause of concern. I ask these questions directly and in a straightforward manner. They require equally straight answers. No BS and no verbiage.

3. How is the vaccination taking place? Is it through government hospitals? Then provide us a complete list of the hospitals. Will the government create special purpose centres for vaccination? Will the vaccination be also provided by private medical clinics? Can pharmacies create special booths for vaccination? Do we have to pay for the vaccination?

4. I am distressed to hear of the science minister using non-disclosure agreements with suppliers as an excuse for not disclosing the price of the vaccines. See? The minister is siding with the big bucks instead of the people. You are the government for God’s sake!

5. Is the minister fooling us? If he is reluctant to disclose to us the price, information about the price of vaccines is freely available. The price of Pfizer is less than RM100. Belgium pays RM60 for one.
If the price is freely available then the minister is lying about non-disclosure agreement with suppliers. Also, its inconceivable for suppliers to hide the price, would they? Its a world pandemic is it not? We are not commuters on the Clapham omnibus la minister. We don't live under coconut shells. 

6. So, is the minister doing ambulance chasing? Is he afflicted with a bout of schadenfreude?  Profiteering on the misery of other people?

7. If that is so it's unconscionable. Is he creating a monopsonist and monopolist for the vaccines? Why should the Malaysian centre of biotechnology be the sole party handling the purchase? We don't care if it's managed by Zaki Zahid or Joe Doe. If these people commit any wrongdoings we will go after them later.

8. I assume the government is taking care of the logistics too? The Pfizer vaccines require special storage facilities.  We therefore assume the government has special distribution and storage facilities for them. These require additional budgets, don't they? I am sure it's more than just dry ice. 

9. It's our money fool! You can shove your confidentiality vis a vis your beloved suppliers to that part of your anatomy where the sun never shines. Where our money is concerned however, we demand you be forthcoming. Faham? The price to the rest of the world is an open secret.

10. So tell us honestly what is the exact budget for the vaccines and their infrastructure. You are answerable to the people not the bloodsucking pharmaceutical companies.

11. The concerns raised by Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah are also asked by many others. They must be taken seriously.

Is the vaccine- whether it be Pfizer, Moderna or Oxford Zeneca safe? It's a well known fact that the vaccine is a rush job. People just want to live normally again and dont care whether it's a snake oil solution.

12. Some of the concerns are:-
A. Is the vaccine safe in the long run?
B. Other alternatives.
C. Legal immunity issues.
D. Enforcements of MCO.
E. Who first to vaccinate.

13. It is true we cannot underestimate the ingenuity and sense of urgency among our scientists. I am not going to say it's absolutely impossible to come out with a vaccine.

14. But we must take cognizance of the fact that historically, a vaccine takes a long time to come to fruition. Its possible that in our rush to return to normalcy in our lives, we rush headlong to lap up a not 100% efficacy vaccine.

15. A rushed up vaccine may have side effects we may not comprehend. It's also possible that the vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna may suppress the symptoms of the pandemic but not its contagiousness. I hope I am wrong.

16. Know that the production of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines were under intense pressure by President Trump who was more motivated  by his own political exigencies.

17. Because of that, the 2 vaccines may have sidestepped old and tried testing methods. Such that the 2 vaccines offering over 90% efficacy are considered enough. Are we content with  placebo than real effects? It's necessary for us to ensure absolute safety. Better safe than sorry.

18. The speed by which the vaccines is rushed, is a cause of possible concern. Historically vaccines take a long time to emerge. The vaccine for Mumps for example, took 4 years to develop and for Ebola 5 years.

Adolph Muhyi's Budget. Part 2.

1. Since 2009 to 2021 we have registered deficit budgets. We don't seem to be ashamed of them. The opposition accepted them after making the required noises. It's a badge of honour.a

2. The FM must have thought that his maiden speech about the budget was a tour de force rendition but really it's a whack a mole approach. The plastic mole keeps on resurfacing. Problems keep on coming.

3. He's not trying to reduce the deficits but exacerbating them through wasteful spending. Why the 190 million Quranic Village project?

4. Did Muhyi increased the debt ceiling from 55% to 60%.because of COVID-19? Or the pandemic used to cover other unnecessary spending?

5. It's unconscionable to spend money meant to tackle COVID-19 for some other purposes. But Muhyi doesn't know the meaning of conscience.

6. What's with the 400 million to pardon the debt of Felda settlers? Is this the debt incurred by Najib's harebrained FGV scheme? If its so, it's caused by Najib's wet dream. Jail him or asked him to pay. To pardon settlers debt is indeed meritorious. But don't give it Free. Ask them to surrender all FGV shares or buy them off them. There's no such thing as free lunch.

7. We earned enough to cover our operating expenses. The bulk of it goes to the emoluments of the 1.7 million civil service. Why is our civil service so large? Shouldn't we take measures to scale it down? The quality of the cs should also be improved. Raised the entry level. The government shouldn't be seen as a ready indiscriminate employee who doesnt care about quality. Don't have the attitude if it has gills, it must be a fish. We do care about the quality.

8. What does the FM mean Biodiversity Protection? It Its costing us 400 million. Please enlighten us. The massive habitat destruction in Bentong shows us biodiversity production is just a myth to siphon money.

9. The 100 million allocation for NGOs is probably an euphemism for people like Azmin Ali to build a war chest. Hey NGOs! You've got money here. What goods and services do NGOs produced? Jobs? Nada

10. If it has zero added value why park money under this heading? So that you can use the money for some undefined but political purpose?

11. The 2 billion allocation to the Green Technology Financing Scheme is a dubious allocation. Has anybody heard of any company producing a green technology product? No one. Shouldn't this allocation be parked under the Science Ministry?

12. If the relevant Ministry is not capable of thinking what it wants, then the Ministry is led by an incompetent Minister. It is also disingenuous to park a certain allocation under a specific heading, and later used it for a different purpose. That's cheating.

13. That means there's no zero- based budgeting. What possibly happens is that each Ministry uses the previous year's budget and simply increase it by a certain percentage. That's what you get when you have laggards and women chasing ministers.

14. The 15 billion allocation for transport infra is indefensible. Presumably the bulk of it is meant for the Pan Borneo Highway and the Gemas Jb and Klang Valley double track projects.

15. We have heard of the PBH since 1963 and is the budget for it a rolling budget? Or is it just a treasure chest for Sabah warlords and the Works minister's? The 2 double track projects will they be ever completed?

16. And why are these not parked under the Transport Ministry? If ministers do not know how to prioritise spending, get off the hot seat. The budget cannot be parked under some hazy headings only to be siphoned off for some political hatchet jobs.

17. Then there is the curious 3 billion set aside to maintain military assets. Why wasn't this amount allotted directly to Mindef? If its important why didn't the defense minister accorded it as a priority spending?
Were we shot changed for many military assets? So it must be true a spanner costs 200 ringgit a piece. This does not include the notorious Scorpene, the migs in the US desert and others.

18. The 400 million allocated to selected ministries to do R&D is money wasted. One R&D is seeking a better way to deliver services. I don't see any ministry giving improved service. If the quality of a civil service with a sense of superiority persists, the 400 million will go down the drain.

19. As it is, Malaysia has 32 ministers and 38 deputy ministers and God knows how many ambassadors with ministerial status. The first improvement needed is downsizing the cabinet. Has Muhyi got the testicular fortitude to do this? That's R&D for you.

20. China has almost 1.4 billion people but only 21 ministries. Malaysia on the other hand has a miniscule population compared to China, has 72 morons and fornicators. That's a money guzzler. And Malaysia seems able to produce only morons like drink more warm water Minister and Doraemon Minister. Hence, the 400 million is money wasted.

21. We can also kiss goodbye to the 1 billion allocated to investments in technology, especially the electronics and the aerospace industry. The money will probably go to surrogates of foreign electronics industries and other special interest groups. They will not benefit local industries. What aerospace industry are we talking about? Another goofy flying car project?

22. The allocation of 4 billion to JAKIM is inappropriate. What is it used for? Certainly not for the advancement of Islam. We don't require monuments to fortify our faith. The advancement of Islam is superficial. I don't see Islamic preachers living among Orang Asli and Chinese communities. I don't see Jakim distributing food among the homeless and hobos. They eat in churches. Building grandiose monuments will lead only to Islamic triumphalism and pomposity.

23. JAKIM has received a royal rebuke from HRH Sultan of Johore for spending 1 billion a year. Is converting chinaman an expensive affair? What's the use of a big allocation if its(jakim) used to sow the seeds of dissension, hatred for other races and Islamic Exclusivism? The allocation will only exacerbate dissension.

24. What does empowering Bumiputera entrepreneur mean? It got an allocation of 6billion. Usually the beneficiaries are the well-connected, the politicians or directly siphoned by shameless politicians.

25. What do I see from the 5 billion allocation of getting access to quality education at Bumiputra institutions? First is an admission that hitherto Bumiputera education has no quality. Second is a deliberate institutionalising of racism.

26. The main problem preventing Malays from achieving educational excellence is the refusal to accept meritocracy as the basis of educational advancement. Education is seen as an entitlement even though you are mediocre.

27. The path to educational excellence is to embrace competition as a way of life. Malays must accept competition as the way forward.

28. I am troubled by the phrase Bumiputera educational institutions. This is a subtle way of institutionalising racism. If we can institutionalise racism why not meritocracy?

29. So if the RM 5 Billion allocation leads to the rejection of meritocracy and institutionalised racism, it is iniquitous.

30. What's with the RM7 billion allocation for scheme jaminan penjanaan perkerjaan. Does this mean the government will expand the already bloated civil service? And at the same time internalise mediocrity? Its money not well spent.

31. The FM must have thought this budget is his tour de force. In reality, it is a whack a mole budget. The problems keep popping up. It's a budget replete with negative elements. Unashamed it's yet another deficit budget filled with institutionalised racism, religious bigotry, acculturation of mediocrity, for special interest groups budget etc.

32. Therefore, support for this budget is support for all the iniquities and anti-democratic elements.

Silence is Not an Option. Part 2/3.

1. The way Muhyi wants to 'sell' his budget is pathetic and desperate. He sends out vehicles with megaphones and loudspeakers to public areas such as markets and malls. There the public would be told of the benefits of the 2021 Budget.

2. We would have thought he would ask his officers to about the COVID-19 virus. Instead, he talks about his pedantic budget. Sad.

3. It's not about social distancing, wearing of masks, self and mandatory quarantine or sanitization. The measures to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

4. Instead it was about the bloody Budget. We have people debating about it in parliament. Why so desperate to get us involved when at other times we are ignored?

5. Besides reminding us of the SOP we are more interested in knowing there's no economic, development lockdown and no health facilities lockdown. Go play with yourself about the budget.

6. We want to know about vaccines and how will they be distributed. We want the public heatlh officials speak with one voice.

7. Instead, we are listening to incomprehensive and conflicting voices. The health DG says those coming from outside the peninsula have to undergo mandatory 14- day quarantine. Here comes the drink more warm water minister saying those from Sabah are excepted. What the hell!

8. That indicates 2 things to me. First, it shows that Muhyi is not confident that his padded budget will get passed. Second, Muhyi presents us a dysfunctional team. There's more damaging group think and herd instinct than listening to the people. Our ministers have all reached a pinnacle level of greed.

9. The Java Penorogo is only interested to save himself than managing the COVID-19 pandemic. The announcement by the Health Minister was meant to accommodate degenerates like Pairin and riotous Bung Mukhtar. Muhyi must really be clutching on straw.

10. If the Health Minister can be laxed about mandatory quarantine, where is the emergency element Muhyi wanted to use to justify his diarrheaic Emergency declaration?

11. It is obvious that Muhyi is an incontrovertible liar. If he lied about COVID-19, then there is more reason to believe that he lied about having majority support. Then he would have no problem facing a vote of no confidence, would he?

12. It is also clear that Muhyi is siding with the oppressors and the fornicators, the embezzlers the thieves and robbers. For no good reasons he put a stop to the investigation of 1MDB.

13. Muhyi agreed to stop the investigation in exchange for the return of the stolen money. The return is already an admission of stealing.

14. I think that is a stupid thing to do. Even if every sen is returned the original felony stays. The return may only mitigate the sentence. It does not erase the crime.

15. The accused, Najib can't plead stupidity. That is not believed by anybody. What is Najib's stupidly compared to the village idiot's? That means the village idiot can claim innocence to committing a serious crime on account of inherent stupidity?

The Politics of Covid- 19

1. Muhyi is pursuing an ambulance chasing strategy-taking advantage of people's misery.

2. The numbers affected by the virus are spiked up to justify the spurned Emergency. The thing is the numbers are not declared by the DG of the health ministry but by lying politicians.

3. That's the lowest of the low which Muhyi will go. But that is not surprising of someone as unscrupulous as Muhyi.

4. Let's analyse the numbers of COVID-19- 19. At the onset let us say that a death, any death is saddening and harrowing. The usage of the dead and falsifying the numbers is an even more heinous action.

5. Obviously Muhyidin has no respect for the institution of the PM. He wants to stay on as PM by any means necessary. He tries to subvert democracy by asking the Agong to declare Emergency. Even now he's trying to show that the Agong was wrong and COVID-19 is going up. Muhyidin is interested only in Muhyidin. He's a bloody narcissist.

6. The damage done is untold. Muhyi is indirectly subordinating the Agong. He's asking the people to rebel against the King. He's using COVID-19 -19 to cover his lack of majority support. He's trying to steal democracy from us. He is a bad person.

7. Immediately following his failure to get an Emergency declared, there is a sudden suspicious spike in Coronavirus. These data were generally met with incredulity. There are more deaths elsewhere, USA for example. Yet no Emergency has been declared and in fact, they are now having the Presidential elections. Not only is Muhyi following the ambulance chasing routine he is also a dangerous liar.

8. The numbers for COVID-19 as 6th November are as follows:-
There were over 26000 recoveries and 279 deaths. Sure a death is a death. It's both saddening and harrowing and no-one can bring the dead alive. But the number of deaths compare to the number of recoveries hides the fact that the work to contain the virus is very commendable.

10. So Abah Muhyi's usage of the virus as a scare tactic to herd people into supporting his fake Emergency is like cotton candy in the mouth. You put his rendition into your mouth and it evaporates as fast as you put it in.

11. It's just not true. He wants to make use of the virus to justify the declaration of a political Emergency. Like in American football the use of COVID-19- 19 is a desperate attempt to cling on to power. It's a Hail Mary situation for Abah Muhyi.

12. What is the number in Sabah? At the end October it was 530 cases and most of the cases were transmitted in the prisons. It suggests that confined spaces cause the pandemic.

13. As at 7th November the number of cases in Sabah is around 20000 and the number of deaths is around 148 deaths. The situation is alarming but manageable. The areas of KK, Tawau and Sandakan are the most affected.

14. Why do I say manageable? Because the number of recoveries is over 11 thousand. It's a testimony of the hard work put in by medical workers.

15. It's part of Abah Muhyi's scorched earth strategies- by any means necessary hold on to power. Therefore, he will use all subterfuges and underhanded tactics to hold on to power. Such as using fake COVID-19 figures to scare people.

https://kpkesihatan.com/2020/11/01/kenyataan-akhbar-kpk-1-november-2020-situasi-semasa-jangkitan-penyakit-coronavirus-2019-covid-19-di-malaysia/

16. Recovery rate 275. The number of deaths were 2.

17. The numbers are fluid realistically. The point is the medical fraternity is not exactly sitting down. Yes the number of those affected is large but the number of recovery is also rising.

18. We can verify the numbers by looking at the KKM portals instead of listening to politicians with an axe to grind. We can establish the numbers for Sabah and Labuan and the detail breakdown for the rest of Malaysia.

19. Instead of listening to medical professionals, Muhyi announces spikes in COVID-19 cases here, there and everywhere. The irony is nobody believes him.

20. The danger happens when that particular disbelief is translated into a general disbelief as when people doubt the announcements from KKM. If that happens, the person to blame is swollen face Muhyi.

21. Politicians should just shut up and leave it to KKM to announce. Empower them. Politicians don't need to be part of the need to announce first. Certainly Muhyi does not need to be the grim reaper.

22. The usage of people's misery to further his own personal interest shows that Muhyi is an unstable fellow. This erratic behaviour is unbecoming of a PM.

23. So let's leave Muhyi with his ambulance chasing stunt. Leave it to medical professionals. Empower and support them.

24. I am surprised that we have not formed a task force comprising medical professionals and scientists to handle COVID-19. Instead, politicians become busybodies and mess up the management of the COVID-19 crisis.

25. As to Muhyi he must learn to exit gracefully and with honour. The good of the country surpasses his own personal good. He is after all an unelected PM.
