SELAMAT TAHUN BARU 2022

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Tuan-Tuan dan Puan-Puan,

1. Saya dan Hasmah mengucapkan Selamat menyambut Tahun Baru 2022 pada semua rakyat Malaysia.

2. Setiap kali kita sambut Tahun Baru kita berharap ianya lebih baik dari tahun yang baru kita tinggalkan.

3. Kita juga berazam untuk memperbaiki diri kita supaya kita akan lebih prihatin dan lebih berjaya.

4. Tetapi kita perlu ingat bahawa kita berada di masa iklim berubah dan tidak tentu hala. Suhu meningkat tinggi dan hujan luar biasa lebatnya. Dan banjir yang teruk pun berlaku.

5. Walaupun banjir di negara kita amat teruk dan ramai yang hilang harta benda tetapi angin kencang ini bermula di Filipina di mana kerosakan dan kematian lebih besar. Sebenarnya Filipina melindungi kita dari badai yang terbesar dalam sejarah. Kita bersyukur dengan perlindungan ini.

6. Yang perlu kita beri perhatian ialah bagaimana kita tangani banjir besar ini. Sepatutnya Kerajaanlah yang memainkan peranan yang utama. Malangnya ternampak Kerajaan tidak ada idea untuk menolong rakyat, bahkan tidak bersikap prihatin terhadap malapetaka yang menimpa rakyat. Demikianlah sikap tidak bertanggungjawab anggota Kerajaan sehingga sebilangan dari mereka bercuti diluar negara dan yang berada di negeri tidak turun segera untuk bantu rakyat. Yang turun pula lebih utamakan bergambar untuk dilapor dalam media.

7. Kita tidak perlu pengalaman tetapi apabila malapetaka berlaku kita cuba tolong dan redakan keadaan. Sebenarnya rakyat biasalah yang bertungkus lumus keluar untuk menghulur bantuan, bukan sahaja untuk membersih tetapi juga membekal makanan percuma.

8. Ya. Kita tidak perlu apa-apa kelulusan untuk jadi Menteri. Siapa sahaja boleh jadi Menteri. Tetapi memilih calon yang nampak pendapatan yang tinggi sahaja tidak akan hasil khidmat yang terbaik.

9. Sementara itu pentadbiran negara masih belum dipulih dengan baik. Ramai yang mengadu tertekan dengan tuntutan rasuah. Dan kita dengar pula yang dipertanggungjawab membanteras rasuah disyaki terlibat dengan rasuah.

10. Inilah hasil dari amalan rasuah oleh pemimpin tertinggi. Mereka yang dipilih jadi Menteri atau pengarah urusan dipilih kerana menyokong pihak tertentu. Dan sokongan ini pula diberi kerana ingin dapat gaji yang tinggi. Mereka yang ingin khidmat untuk bangsa dan negara digugur untuk memberi tempat kepada penyokong.

11. Kita akan sambut tahun baru. Kita harap tahun 2022 lebih baik dari 2020 dan 2021. Tetapi besar kemungkinan 2022 akan menjadi sama dengan dua tahun yang lepas.

12. Politik dalam negara sudah jadi buruk. Tidak ada ahli politik yang berminat untuk majukan negara dan rakyatnya. Jika ada yang berminat, mereka tidak akan diberi peluang, terutama jika mereka menolak rasuah.

13. Jika yang rosakan negara masih diberi peluang untuk diri Kerajaan masa depan kita akan terus merosot sehingga kita jadi negara yang gagal.

14. Semasa kita sambut tahun baru 2022, fikirlah akan peranan kita untuk memperoleh cita-cita besar kita seperti yang ditentukan dalam Wawasan 2020. Kita masih mempunyai kebolehan dalam negara bertuah ini. Hanya dengan menolak rasuah dan memilih pemimpin yang bersih sahaja, akan terpulihlah negara ini.

15. Selamat Menyambut Tahun Baru 2022 dan didoa Allah SWT akan kembalikan kita semua ke jalan yang benar dan bersih.

GLOBAL WARMING

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. In the last decade humanity has become aware and concerned over global warming. We believe that the warming is due to the generation of heat from all kinds of human activities.

2. The worlds’ population has increased tremendously. Every one of us gives off heat. We need to cook food and warm ourselves in winter. We burn fuel for our engines and power generation, producing heat.

3. We cut down our forests and we experience huge forest fires. All combustion processes produce heat and carbon dioxide. Our expanding settlement involve cutting down trees which reduces heat and the conversion of CO2 to Oxygen.

4. All these things contribute to global warming. But we must not forget that planet earth has been going through many changes in its millions of years of existence.

5. We know that the earth was once populated by dinosaurs, living in forests of trees. We know that the dinosaurs had disappeared along with the trees. We believe the trees had undergone some kind of physical and chemical process and have been converted to liquid, solid and gaseous hydrocarbons. As petroleum, we have mined and burned the hydrocarbons to produce energy.

6. Then there were the ice ages when the earth was covered with ice. Nothing could grow. There could be no living creatures, no men nor animals nor trees.

7. Then the ice thawed and huge oceans covered the planet. From the bottom of the oceans the earth emerged to form huge land masses, slowly shaping into the continents that we are familiar with today.

8. A very long time ago life began to appear on our planet. Eventually, primitive men appeared. They evolved until modern men peopled the earth.

9. Through all these periods the world experienced big changes in temperature. For the past maybe 100,000 years the temperature became suitable for life. Plants, animals and men thrived. The earth moved, rotating every 24 hours, tilting so that the north and the south become alternately cold or warm, while the equatorial area stayed warm as the sun shines over the tropics throughout the year.

10. The rise in temperature we are experiencing now is part of the changes the planet goes through. It may get worse. We need to prepare for this change. We must expect more natural disasters.

FOREX

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Najib keeps on talking about the 30 billion Ringgit which was lost by Bank Negara.

2. When he was Prime Minister he set up a Royal Commission to examine the role I allegedly played in covering up the loss.

3. The accusation was purely verbal. A bank officer stated that Bank Negara lost 30 billion Ringgit through currency trading. The Bank hid the loss and allegedly I also hid the loss.

4. I was not involved in the actual operation of the Bank. If indeed the money was lost, the investigation should be with regard to the operation of the Bank.

5. In fact, when the losses became public, the matter was brought to Parliament to be discussed and debated.

6. This is unlike Najib’s reaction to the 1MDB infamy when the Parliament was directed not to allow the issue to be tabled let alone discussed.

7. Furthermore, top Bank Negara officials had repeatedly affirmed that they did not report to the Prime Minister or Finance Minister/s over the forex losses and were prepared to be accountable.

8. All these facts are available in public records.

9. In the final analysis, is there any proof that I had benefitted from the losses.

10. I believe the principle of cui bono, who benefits, applies. Did any money end up in my accounts? Obviously, none.

11. However, in the 1MDB and SRC cases, millions ended up into Najib’s accounts and he happily spent the money for his personal benefit. This is the findings of the courts and he had been found guilty by both the High Court and Court of Appeal.

PARTI PEJUANG TANAHAIR

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Sehingga kini orang Melayu hanya kenal UMNO sebagai parti Melayu. Bagi mereka tidak ada pilihan jika nak sokong parti Melayu melainkan UMNO.

2. Mereka tidak percaya parti berbilang kaum, bahkan parti Islam pun boleh memelihara hak dan keselamatan orang Melayu.

3. Malangnya parti UMNO sudah dirampas oleh perasuah dan penyangak. Mereka ini hanya berhasrat mengguna UMNO dan orang Melayu untuk jadi Kerajaan dan mengguna kuasa Kerajaan untuk memperkayakan diri mereka. Sejak mereka ambil alih UMNO negara bertukar dari menjadi Harimau Asia kepada kleptokrasi iaitu negara yang diperintah oleh pencuri, penjenayah.

4. Jika UMNO masih disokong maka Malaysia akan kekal sebagai kleptokrasi. Maka akan rosak dan hancurlah negara dan orang Melayu.

5. Inilah sebabnya Parti Pejuang Tanahair ditubuh. Ia adalah parti Melayu/Bumiputera seperti UMNO. Jika orang Melayu tidak sanggup beri undi kepada UMNO kerana sudah menyeleweng, dan masih tidak percaya kepada parti berbilang kaum, maka Pejuang boleh dijadikan pilihan.

6. Bukan sahaja Pejuang parti Melayu tetapi ia mendokong semua prinsip dan perjuangan UMNO dahulu yang melawan Malayan Union, yang memerdekakan Malaya, dan membangun negara sehingga dikenali sebagai Asian Tiger.

7. Selain dari itu, Pejuang menentang rasuah, jenayah kewangan dan salah guna kuasa.

8. Kepimpinan Pejuang terdiri dari bekas pemimpin UMNO yang telah berjaya bangunkan Malaysia. Mereka akan latih semua pemimpin Pejuang supaya pegang kuat kepada prinsip perjuangan UMNO dahulu iaitu khidmat untuk bangsa, negara dan agama – bukan untuk diri sendiri.

9. Calon-calon Pejuang akan terdiri dari mereka yang tidak terlibat dengan rasuah, yang utamakan bangsa, negara dan agama.

10. Kita sedar adanya orang bukan Melayu dalam negara kita. Kerajaan yang kita dirikan akan dianggotai juga oleh bukan Melayu yang menolak rasuah dan percaya kepada kerjasama antara kaum dan agihan kekayaan secara adil antara kaum-kaum di Malaysia.

11. Dengan adanya Parti Pejuang Tanahair yang disertai oleh orang Melayu dan bumiputera maka orang Melayu dan bumiputera yang tidak sanggup sokong UMNO kerana korupsi dan jenayah mereka, dapatlah mereka sokong Pejuang, sebuah parti Melayu yang bersih dan cinta kepada bangsa, negara dan agama.

BOSAN

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Saya sedar bahawa rakyat sudah bosan dengan politik. Pengundi telah pilih Kerajaan melalui Pilihan Raya. Tetapi Kerajaan pilihan rakyat ini dijatuhkan bukan mengikut sistem demokrasi tetapi melalui lompatan oleh wakil rakyat ke sebelah parti yang kalah. Dengan itu parti yang kalah menjadi Kerajaan.

2. Soalnya apa guna rakyat pilih Kerajaan jika ia boleh dijatuhkan dan diganti dengan pihak yang ditolak oleh rakyat. Apa gunanya Pilihan Raya Umum (PRU) jika pilihan rakyat boleh diganti tanpa PRU oleh mereka yang ditolak oleh rakyat.

3. Di kalangan mereka yang kecewa dan bosan dengan politik yang menidakkan hak rakyat, mungkin timbul pendapat bahawa PRU tidak berguna. Mereka mungkin membuat keputusan tidak mengundi.

4. Malangnya jika mereka tidak mengundi, parti yang mereka tidak sokong iaitu parti perasuah dan yang terlibat dengan mencuri duit Kerajaan, salah guna kuasa akan menang kerana pengikut mereka ini akan mengundi mereka setelah disogok. Dan akan terdirilah Kerajaan perasuah pencuri dan penyalahguna kuasa.

5. Maka akan mengeluhlah pengundi yang tidak mengundi kerana keadaan sudah jadi lebih buruk. Tetapi jika mereka undi pun, melalui pintu belakang perasuah dan pencuri masih boleh jatuhkan Kerajaan pilihan mereka dan diri Kerajaan yang ditolak oleh mereka.

6. Untuk ini kita perlu ada undang-undang anti-lompat. Mereka yang lompat akan hilang keahlian mereka sebagai wakil rakyat. Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) boleh diadakan. Terpulanglah kepada rakyat samada memilihnya atau orang lain. Jika rakyat setuju dengannya, beri kemenangan kepadanya maka jatuhlah Kerajaan pilihan rakyat. Jika ia dikalahkan, maka Kerajaan pilihan rakyat akan kekal.

7. Jika mereka yang bosan dengan politik memberi kemenangan besar kepada calon anti-rasuah maka pintu belakang tidak boleh diguna untuk tukar Kerajaan. Sebaliknya jika kemenangan puak anti-rasuah tipis maka keadaan tidak menentu dan percubaan memasuki pintu belakang akan berulang.

8. Samada negara kita dapat dipulih semula atau tidak, terpulang kepada rakyat yang sayang kepada negara dan ingin lihat perasuah dan penyangak dikalahkan.

9. Hanya dengan menyokong (mengundi) secara besar-besaran calon-calon yang bersih dari kluster mahkamah sahaja barulah kita akan selamat.

10. Siapakah mereka??

A MATTER OF SOVEREIGNTY

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. When Ismail Sabri went to Singapore for an official visit, I did not really expect him to raise, let alone solve any outstanding bilateral issues that we have been having with the city State.

2. In fact, when I resigned as Prime Minister, on both accounts, none of the succeeding Prime Ministers bothered or were interested to solve the bilateral issues.

3. The price of raw water sold to Singapore remain at 3 sen per 1000 gallons today, a rate that we continue to receive since 1962 when the Johor River Water Agreement was reached.

4. Three sen is like providing water for nothing.

5. Despite millions if not, hundreds of millions lost in revenue, none has shown any interest to resolve the matter and to renegotiate with Singapore.

6. There are also issues of withdrawal of money from the Central Provident Fund for peninsular Malaysians working in Singapore apart from maritime and airspace boundary disputes.

7. Then it was reported that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said Ismail Sabri Yaakob had proposed to revive the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR).

8. I was taken aback. In January this year the Mahiaddin Government had terminated the agreement. An exorbitant RM320 million in compensation had to be paid to Singapore.

9. Ismail Sabri was part of that Government. And now that he is Prime Minister he is proposing to resurrect something he was party to in terminating the project.

10. When I was Prime Minister of the PH Administration, I tried to revive negotiation on the outstanding issues. The Foreign Minister then was Saifuddin Abdullah who incidentally is back as Foreign Minister today.

11. Of course the Sheraton Move caused the demise of effort and progress we had made in negotiating with Singapore.

12. Rather than reviving the HSR, which could well be complemented by the double tracking project, we should instead focus on developing the South Ledge of Batu Putih.

13. We had been accorded sovereignty over South Ledge, while losing Pedra Branca to Singapore, by the ICJ.

14. I had proposed for South Ledge to be reclaimed and expanded and a marine base be built to establish and stamp our sovereignty.

15. We will always have thorny bilateral issues with our neighbours. But we will not go to war. We believe in peaceful resolution and negotiations.

16. But while we aspire to be good neighbours, to be friendly, it cannot be at the expense of our territorial integrity, much more our sovereignty. It is about prioritising.

KLEPTOKRASI

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Puad Zarkashi berkata kononnya saya cuma tahu perkataan Kleptokrasi sahaja. Tidak benar. Saya guna banyak perkataan lain. Saya juga guna perkataan penyangak, pencuri, kawaq, perasuah.

2. Sekarang Mahkamah Rayuan (Court of Appeal) sudah sahkan keputusan Najib bersalah yang dibuat oleh Mahkamah Tinggi (High Court). Oleh kerana ianya tidak bercanggah dengan undang-undang, banduan Najib tidak akan menjalani hukuman kerana Najib membuat rayuan kepada Mahkamah Persekutuan (Federal Court).

3. Ini hak hakim. Belum pernah ada kes sebesar jenayah yang dilakukan oleh Najib. Ia adalah satu rekod dunia, mengikut Department of Justice (DOJ), Amerika Syarikat. Orang yang didapati bersalah kecil pun tidak pernah mendapat stay of execution seperti ini. Najib mungkin terpaksa tunggu sampai setahun atau lebih sebelum kesnya sampai ke Mahkamah Persekutuan.

4. Di masa itu ia bebas seperti orang yang tidak bersalah. Kalau semasa menanti ia dibenar terus jadi ahli Dewan Rakyat, apakah ia juga dapat bertanding dalam PRU 15.

5. Jika ia menang dan sekali lagi jadi ahli Dewan Rakyat, apakah ia boleh jadi Perdana Menteri juga.

6. Undang-undang tidak berkata ia tidak boleh. Jika undang-undang tidak berkata tidak boleh, maka mengikut undang-undang tentulah ia boleh.

7. Alhamdulillah. Malaysia mungkin buat rekod sekali lagi kerana banduan di anugerah jawatan Perdana Menteri.

8. Segala-gala the Rule of Law dihormati.

TOLERATING CORRUPTION

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. In the Melaka state election the BN won a two-thirds majority. This is the party which was rejected by the electorate in 2018, just 3 years ago because its leader was totally corrupt and had stolen billions of Ringgit of Government money. The same convicted leader led the campaign in the Melaka election. He is still facing more charges in court today. Yet his party won with a huge majority.

2. What can we say about the voters of Melaka who delivered this result? Is it possible that they have forgotten the crimes committed by Najib. Or is it that they have forgiven him. Or is it because they believe his claim that he is innocent. Or is it because the voters did not care; that to them corruption is acceptable because they got something for themselves from this corrupt leader.

3. Whatever, for these people corruption and even stealing money seems alright, especially after some time has passed. The corrupt leader should still be supported.

4. With this mindset they are likely to bring back corrupt leaders at the next General Election. What kind of country will Malaysia be when corrupt politicians rule the country?

5. Remember how greatly respected Malaysia was before Najib. It was known as an Asian Tiger. It was regarded as a model by many countries. Under a corrupt leader Malaysia is labelled a kleptocracy, a country led by thieves.

6. It is not likely that the kleptocrat would change. The principle will still be “Cash is King”. Government money would still be stolen.

7. If before an Asian Tiger could be brought down and replaced by a kleptocracy, this time it could be worse. Remember the kleptocrat has shown no remorse over his stealing, corruption and abuse of power even when he was found guilty. Without remorse or regret he is not going to change his ways. If at all he would be worse because, despite being charged and found guilty he is a free man. Indeed he is well regarded and treated with respect. For all his crimes, the Government is still rewarding him with a hundred million Ringgit. So why should he stop being corrupt and stop stealing money, since he would still be respected and rewarded.

8. And when he or his colleagues lead future Governments, they would continue to corrupt everyone including the administrative machinery. Malaysia would become a totally corrupt country which no one would invest in or visit.

9. Deprived of investments no jobs would be created to cater for the thousands of graduates produced every year. And others who are not qualified would remain jobless. Businesses, big and small would fail. The country would go into depression. It would be a failed country.

10. That is the price we will have to pay when we tolerate corruption in our society.

ANTARA PAJAK DAN PERCUMA

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Nampaknya ada orang yang berbuih mulut tuduh saya dapat macam-macam daripada Kerajaan selepas bersara dari jawatan Perdana Menteri.

2. Ada juga dikeluar “bukti” berkenaan pajakan tanah di Langkawi. Pajakan dengan bayaran bukan makna hadiah. Bukan dapat free, diskaun pun tidak.

3. Agaknya orang ini cuba nak alih pandangan dari masalah dia “tolak” permintaan dia sendiri untuk dapat hartanah mewah dari Kerajaan. Ada orang beritahu saya mewah tahap kayangan.

4. Saya akui saya pajak tanah. Pajak, bukan minta. Pajak kena bayar. Tak dapat free pun. Saya juga beli dua keping tanah di Langkawi selepas bersara. Tidak ada yang saya dapat percuma sebagai hadiah dari Kerajaan Persekutuan atau Negeri. Sebaliknya kos sewaan dinaikkan berkali ganda sehingga saya serah balik kepada LADA, Langkawi.

5. Bermacam usaha saya lakukan, ternak kerbau, buat keju, tanam sayuran. Ada yang berjaya, ada yang tidak. Yang tidak “economically viable” apabila sewa dinaikkan oleh LADA, saya kembalikan pajakan pada pihak berkuasa.

6. Kalau ada salah laku, siasatlah. Dah 18 tahun saya berhenti dari Kerajaan semasa jadi Perdana Menteri pertama kali. Selama itu, saya jadi Perdana Menteri semula 22 bulan. Apabila jadi PM kali kedua, pencen saya dihentikan. Pencen diberi balik selepas saya berhenti dari jadi PM kali kedua.

7. Macam-macam tuduhan yang dibuat tentang “salah laku” saya. Kalau benar dakwa lah. Kalau bersalah hukumlah.

8. Malahan masa saya mula buka mulut pasal 1MDB berbagai usaha nak tuduh saya buat salah dilakukan kepimpinan masa itu.

9. Bila gagal sampai tukang masak saya pun di lucut jawatan.

10. Isteri saya pun turut disoal siasat. LHDN pula siasat anak-anak saya.

11. Alhamdulillah, cukai semua dibayar ikut undang-undang dan tak timbul hutang cukai sampai berbilion. Jadi tak perlu mintak pelepasan passport untuk ke luar negara.

12. Saya ingat buat masa ini saya tak perlu lah jelaskan apa-apa. Kalau pihak berkuasa terbabit nak jelas tentang pajakan-pajakan saya, sila lah.

13. Tidak ada apa-apa yang nak saya sembunyi pun. “Nothing to Hide”.

THE RULE OF LAW

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Malaysia is said to believe in the rule of law. The essence of the rule of law is that it must apply equally to every individual. There may be a range of punishment in consideration of the seriousness or otherwise of the crime. But everyone is entitled to be punished within the same range of fines or imprisonment.

2. Still monarchs are given certain exemption but for most crimes the law applies equally.

3. In Malaysia we are seeing blatant discrimination in the practice of the law. Specifically, we see vastly different treatment between Anwar Ibrahim and Najib Razak.

4. While the police broke Anwar’s door and arrested him, handcuffed and thrown into a police car to be detained before he was charged in court, Najib was never arrested or handcuffed or taken to a lockup in a police car. He goes to the court in his car and after the hearing he went home. Yet the charges against him are more serious.

5. Even when he was found guilty and sentenced to 12 years jail and a fine of more than 200 million Ringgit, he has not paid his fine or been jailed simply because he had appealed his case.

6. When a person is found guilty, he is guilty until the appeal court decide that he is innocent. But the appeal court has not decided that he is innocent. Therefore, he is guilty and he should serve his sentence. But he is treated like an innocent person, not paying his fine or jailed.

7. As far as is known no other person has been treated this way. More than that he is now allowed to leave the country. Again, there is no such precedent anywhere.

8. With Najib remaining free, it has allowed him to undermine the High Court’s decision and inevitably undermine the whole institution. And given Najib’s sphere of influence, he is able to spread this mischief among his followers who are naive and gullible.

9. On what basis are these privileges given to Najib when it was not given to Anwar or any other convicted person. Clearly the rule of law has not been applied equally between them. All these may be claimed as legal but they are not in accordance with the rule of law.

10. And now the Government has decided to reward him for his so-called service to the country. Yes, other retired Prime Ministers have been awarded old Government houses in recognition of their service. These PMs have not committed any crime and had not been found guilty of stealing Government money. Najib borrowed billions of Ringgit which have not been recovered. Now the Government has to pay interest on the loans amounting to 2 billion Ringgit a year for decades. Government will also have to pay the loans amounting to 40 billion Ringgit.

11. Yet the Government proposes to reward Najib with RM66 million worth of land and build a house at RM40 million Ringgit for Najib. Legal but not in accord with requirement for equal treatment before the law.

12. Najib is a convicted criminal who had lost billions of Ringgit of Government money. But the Government of Ismail Sabri thinks stealing and losing Government money and forcing the Government to pay billions back for the loan that Najib had borrowed deserved to be rewarded with 100 million Ringgit.

13. What is clear is that the Government of Ismail Sabri has not adhered to the equality before the laws as expected by the rule of law. No other convicted person in Malaysia has been treated the way Najib is being treated.

14. There is a need for the Governments of Mahiaddin Yassin (Perikatan Nasional) and Ismail Sabri to explain why the treatment of a convict like Datuk Seri Najib is different from all other convicts in Malaysia, all other retired PMs of Malaysia.

PERDANA MENTERI?

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Kerajaan Ismail Sabri bersetuju untuk memberi tanah dan membuat rumah yang bernilai RM100,000,000 konon sebagai menghargai khidmat Najib sebagai Perdana Menteri.

2. Apa dianya sumbangan Najib kepada negara? Yang kita tahu ialah ia didapati bersalah mencuri duit Kerajaan, menghilang duit Kerajaan berbillion Ringgit. Dia dihukum penjara 12 tahun dan denda lebih dari 200 juta Ringgit. Ia sedang dibicara terhadap lebih 800 juta $AS yang ada dalam banknya. Dan dia tidak dapat jelas bagaimana ia memperoleh wang yang sebegitu banyak. Ini bukan perkara lama. Ini perkara sekarang dan masa depan kerana sampai puluhan tahun Kerajaan Malaysia terpaksa bayar faedah sebanyak 2 billion Ringgit setahun dan hutang pokok 42 billion. Anak cucu kita akan tanggung beban ini.

3. Ia juga merosak parti UMNO yang buat pertama kali kalah dalam PRU-14. Pentadbiran negara juga dirosakkan sehingga pegawai tinggi terpaksa dihentikan kerana rasuah.

4. Ekonomi negara hancur. Dan sekarang ini keadaan politik tidak stabil sehingga dalam masa tiga tahun berlaku pertukaran Perdana Menteri tiga kali.

5. Negara ini yang dahulu dikenali sebagai Asian Tiger sekarang menjadi kleptokrasi iaitu negara pencuri yang diperintah oleh pencuri, hasil pemerintahan Datuk Seri Najib.

6. Dunia pandang hina kepada Malaysia sekarang.

7. Untuk semua ini dan banyak lagi Kerajaan Ismail Sabri melulus 2.7 ekar tanah bernilai 60 juta Ringgit lebih dan akan bangun sebuah rumah bernilai RM40 juta kerana mengenang “jasa” Najib.

8. Tunku Abd Rahman yang menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia dan berjaya memerdekakan negara hanya dapat sebuah rumah papan. Rumah Tun Razak dijadi monument. Tun Hussein pun tidak dapat apa-apa yang bernilai tinggi. Tun Rahah dapat rumah Kerajaan yang sedia ada.

9. Saya jadi Perdana Menteri selama 22 tahun tidak tuntut dan tidak dapat apa-apa selain dari pencen dan RM10,000 sebulan untuk selenggara rumah yang didiri oleh saya sendiri. Sebidang tanah di Putrajaya telah ditawar kepada saya secara percuma apabila saya bersara tetapi saya telah tolak dan sebaliknya saya beli tanah di Putrajaya dengan harga seperti yang ditawar kepada penjawat awam apabila bersara.

10. Setiap tahun saya bayar cukai tanah sebanyak RM6,071 dan cukai taksiran sebanyak RM1,792.

11. Najib yang menghancurkan negara sehingga menjadi kleptokrasi pula akan diberi RM100,000,000 tanpa dilulus oleh Parlimen – bahkan dirahsia. Najib membuat permohonan sedangkan bekas Perdana Menteri lain tidak buat permohonan untuk tanah tertentu. Sama ada Kerajaan susulan hendak balas budi atau tidak adalah hak Kerajaan.

12. Dunia ketawa melihat Malaysia di mana seorang banduan yang lesap berbillion Ringgit begitu disanjung tinggi dan dihormati.

13. Sebagaimana biasa Najib cuba salahkan saya kerana buat pindaan pada tahun 2003 kepada Akta Saraan Ahli Parlimen 1980.

14. Pindaan itu bertujuan untuk Kerajaan menimbang memberi sedikit ganjaran kepada bekas Perdana Menteri sebagai mengenang jasa mereka. Biasanya ganjaran yang diberi ialah rumah Kerajaan yang sedia ada.

15. Ia tidak bertujuan untuk memberi kemewahan atau kekayaan kepada bekas Perdana Menteri.

16. Perdana Menteri tidak perlu kepada banyak ganjaran selepas bersara kerana pencen, gratuiti dan elaun yang diperolehi lebih dari mencukupi untuk membina rumah sendiri yang selesa. Itulah yang saya lakukan.

17. Kita boleh hargai jasa seseorang Perdana Menteri tetapi tidaklah sampai menjadinya millionaire. Sumbangan mereka sebenarnya juga perlu diambil kira. Bagi seorang Perdana Menteri yang merosakan negara sehingga dihukum penjara, perlukah kita beri hadiah sampai 100 juta, sedangkan yang merdekakan negara diberi hanya sebuah rumah dinding papan berbumbung genting sahaja?

PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY AND CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Kings in Europe used to have absolute power. And this resulted in abuses, in oppression of the people. And so the people rebelled and did away with monarchy.

2. But many nations are loath to do away with their kings. And so they invented constitutional monarchs who head the nation but have no executive power. Instead the elected Government acts in the name of the King.

3. To ensure this the King is required to act on the advice of the Prime Minister or members of the cabinet. But certain matters are stated to be the prerogative of the King.

4. In Malaysia the King has absolute power to determine:
i. The dissolution of Parliament
ii. Matters concerning the institution of the King
iii. The appointment of the Prime Minister
iv. Proclamation of the Emergency

5. Although the King is required to accept the advice of the Prime Minister, he has also to consider the merits of the advice. It is important to remember that in the treaties between the Malay Rulers and the British, the stipulation was that the advice of the British Adviser or Residents, must be accepted and acted upon. There is no such stipulation with regard to the advice of the Prime Minister or his Ministers.

6. And so, when in 2020 the Prime Minister advised the King to declare a state of emergency the first time, the Agong rejected the advice. There was no state of emergency.

7. However, the Agong accepted the advice of the Prime Minister when in January 2021 he again advised that a state of emergency be declared. Subsequently a bulletin was issued by the Government spelling out the conditions of the emergency.

8. It is not clear whether the Agong was presented with this bulletin when the advice was given by the Prime Minister. But the bulletin contains several provisions which contravened the Constitution and the laws of Malaysia.

9. Firstly the proclamation of emergency should be laid before Parliament. This was not done. Then Parliament was not allowed to sit. This again was against the Constitution.

10. The Prime Minister gave himself the right to make laws, including raising loans without approval of Parliament. This is against the Constitution.

11. The Ordinance also made all action taken by the Government as being made by the Agong or anyone authorised by the Agong. There is no mention that the Agong acts on the advice of the Prime Minister.

12. Yet the Prime Minister insist that even in an emergency the Agong can only act on his advice. But at the same time a body is set up to determine when the emergency should be terminated and to advise the King. This body is independent and yet has a right to advise the King. So the King may be advised not only by the PM but also by an independent body. Clearly it is not always that the King acts on the advice of the PM.

13. The constitutional monarchy system is to deprive the King from exercising executive power. But what happens if it is the elected Government which abuses power.

14. Constitutionally the people can overthrow the Government through a vote of non-confidence in Parliament. But what if the Government did not allow Parliament to sit.

15. The only other recourse is through a general election. But currently an election cannot be held because of the pandemic.

16. The only way out is for the King to exercise his discretionary power. As with his initial rejection of the emergency, the King can disregard his acceptance of the PM’s advice when it has not been debated and approved by Parliament.

17. The King has the discretion to appoint a Prime Minister. But Parliament may reject the Prime Minister named by the King. But since Parliament does not sit, it cannot reject the King’s nominee.

18. The country is under emergency rule. The provision of the Constitution and the ordinary laws are suspended. But the situation in the country has become untenable because the Government is not able to deal with multiple crises due to the pandemic, the collapse of the economy, the social sufferings of the people and the breakdown of the political system.

19. Then the Prime Minister was forced to appoint a Deputy Prime Minister (DPM). He could not appoint someone from his own party. He had to appoint a DPM from UMNO, the party that was rejected in the 14th General Election (GE).

20. The moment he did this, UMNO withdrew 15 members from the Perikatan Nasional (Muhyiddin) Government. The Government was overthrown. Since a general election could not be held, the 222 members of Dewan Rakyat had to indicate their choice of a PM.

21. The 15 UMNO members whose withdrawal brought Muhyiddin’s Government down then rejoined all the other members of PN and supported the UMNO DPM. With this the defeated UMNO became the Government again.

22. All these actions were legal but it deprived the people of their right to choose the Government democratically. There is therefore a need to put a stop to this abuse of the constitution of the country.

A PEJUANG -LED GOVERNMENT

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Ever since independence Malaysia has been ruled by multiracial but predominantly Malay Governments. The Malays form the backbone of the Governments simply because Malays make up the majority of the citizens of the country.

2. But the Malay dominated Governments had accorded the non-Malays certain rights which other multi racial countries do not allow. Thus the other races were allowed to retain their identification with their countries of origin, their languages and cultures, their schools, their NGO’s and civil organisations, their Chambers of Commerce, associations, assembly halls, sporting teams and clubs etc.

3. There is no requirement to assimilate with the indigenous Malays and other bumiputras. The official language is Malay but except in official documents other languages can be spoken and used in private communication, newspapers, radio and TV and the alternative media. By the same token, Islam is the national (official?) religion but other religions can be adhered to and practiced in any language. The only requirement is that all Malays must be Muslims. Their conversion to other religion is prohibited.

4. By any standard the Malaysian liberalism towards non-Malays is unprecedented. And there is very little conflict between the peoples of different races. Malaysia is much more stable and peaceful than many other multiracial countries or even single-ethnic countries in the world.

5. Parti Pejuang Tanah Air is a Malay political party. While it will strive to bring up the Malays to approximately the same economic level as the non-Malays, particularly the Chinese, it will adhere to all the liberal policies and privileges that Malaysia accords the non-Malays.

6. In addition to that, a Pejuang dominated Government will uphold democratic principles and the rule of laws. It will reject and outlaw all kinds of abuses of power and corruption by the Government and the administration.

7. It will practice good governance with the objective of making Malaysia a developed country by 2030 or earlier.

8. This is our pledge. Supporting Pejuang is supporting Malaysia and Malaysians. While the Malays can hope to catch up, the others will not lose their places and opportunities.

PRN MELAKA

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Parti Pejuang Tanah Air sebelum ini telah umum bahawa kami tidak akan turut serta di dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri (PRN) Melaka.

2. Walau bagaimanapun saya dapat tahu ada sesetengah pihak cuba kaitkan Pejuang dan saya dengan individu tertentu yang bertanding sebagai calon bebas.

3. Ingin ditegaskan sekali lagi, Pejuang dan saya tidak menyokong sesiapa di dalam PRN Melaka jauh sekali meletak calon proksi.

4. Saya harap dengan penjelasan ini tidak lagi ada sesiapa yang akan cuba kaitkan saya, mahupun Pejuang dengan mana-mana calon yang bertanding.

JJ RAJ

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Hasmah and I are deeply saddened on hearing news of the passing of Tan Sri JJ Raj on Saturday, Nov 6.

2. He is to us a towering figure not only for the force he had served so loyally since pre-Independent Malaya, but also to the rest of the nation.

3. I had written to him in July, firstly to wish him a Happy Birthday and secondly, to congratulate him on reaching his centennial.

4. At my age, not many are older than me. And JJ Raj was sprightly at 100!

5. We shared some common habits in our lifestyle such as eating in moderation. And as an author himself, both of us believed in reading and writing to keep the mind and body healthy.

6. JJ Raj replied to my letter and proposed that once the pandemic was over, we could have “a nice cup of tea or healthy makan together as we take a stroll down memory lane”.

7. I was really looking forward to it. As I said, not many are older than me left to share that path down memory lane.

8. To those who knew him, we have truly lost a model citizen, a man of integrity and courage. Rest in peace my friend.

BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Malaysia was much concerned with the struggle of Bosnia Herzegovina to free itself from Serbian ruled Yugoslavia. Croatia, another part of Yugoslavia had already separated.

2. Bosnia Herzegovina was the only part of Yugoslavia where the people were Muslims. The Croats were Catholic and the Serbs Orthodox Christian. Under Tito they had lived in peace with each other. But now the Serbs were oppressing the Croats and the Muslims.

3. Malaysia can claim that it helped the Muslim Bosniaks to fight the Serbs. It was a fierce war. The Muslims were outnumbered and outgunned. But they were winning.

4. At that stage America stepped in to stop the war. They forced through the Dayton Agreement. Clearly the Dayton Agreement favoured the Serbs.

5. Bosnia Herzegovina was effectively split into two. Almost half of it was given to the Serbs. It was ruled solely by the Serbs and was called Republika Srpska. The Croats and the Bosniaks had no role in its Government.

6. The rest of Bosnia Herzegovina was to be ruled by Bosniacs Serbs and Croat through three Presidents, each chairing for one year. This is the Dayton Agreement. Sponsored by the United States. Quite obviously the Bosniacs were the losers.

7. But the Bosniacs did not protest. They tried with difficulty to work with the hostile Croats and Serbs. But now they are going to lose more.

8. The Serbs of Republika Srpska want to secede from Bosnia Herzegovina. They have the tacit support of Europe and America.

9. The Europeans are said to believe in justice and fairness. But more than that is the wish to make Europe exclusive to the Christians. They call Europe Christendom, the abode of the Christians. They regard the presence of Muslims in Europe as an aberration, an intolerable smudge to Christendom.

10. As a result when the Europeans tried to stop the massacre of the Muslims in Bosnia Herzegovina they failed to do so. At Srebrenica, Dutch troops tasked with protecting the Muslims actually moved away when the Serbs attacked Srebrenica.

11. Left unprotected the unarmed Muslims were captured by Serbian soldiers. Then they began a systematic killing of all the men and boys who were captured. The Dutch troops did nothing to stop this massacre.

12. Altogether 12,000 men and boys were shot or bludgeoned to death. It was a war crime but later the Dutch troops who failed to stop the massacre were exonerated.

13. The Bosniac may have to fight another war to retain the entity called Bosnia Herzegovina. But Europe is not going to do anything to stop the killing of the Muslim Bosniacs. They will close their eyes.

14. This time around the Bosniacs will get no help from anyone. The Russians will back the Serbs. So will all the eastern Europeans.

15. We talk much about human rights, about war crimes. We sign international agreements on the conduct of wars. But in the end all these codes mean nothing even to the proponents. If you are weak, you lose and you perish.

MATA WANG CRYPTO

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Saya tidak mengguna mata wang crypto. Saya juga tidak galak orang mengguna tersebut. Saya pegang kepada fiat money atau mata wang fiat, atau wang fizikal.

2. Jika ada promosi dalam iklan atau laman web yang kononnya saya galak kegunaan mata wang crypto, ianya palsu.

3. Pejabat saya sebelum ini ada buat laporan terhadap iklan jenis ini yang kononnya saya melabur dan menggalak kegunaan crypto currency ini.

4. Iklan-iklan itu palsu. Saya difahamkan ada yang terpedaya. Sesetengah iklan itu seolah-olah disiar media tempatan.

5. Saya difahamkan media tempatan juga sudah dimaklum dan mereka sudah buat laporan kepada pihak berkuasa.

6. Pihak awam perlu maklum bahawa perkara seperti ini tidak mudah ditangani kerana pelbagai laman web dan iklan palsu dapat dibangun dengan cepat.

7. Tutup satu, timbul sepuluh.

8. Penipuan dan pemalsuan mengguna nama saya berlaku sebelum zaman media sosial dan internet lagi. Dari dulu juga ada yang terpedaya dengan promosi palsu peluang niaga yang kononnya libatkan diri saya.

9. Ada laporan dibuat dan tindakan diambil. Ada yang tidak. Sesiapa yang sangsi, boleh periksa dengan pejabat saya. Saya tidak pernah dan tak akan terlibat dengan apa-apa skim cepat kaya.

10. Selain itu ada yang percaya laporan palsu yang saya ada kekayaan berbilion.

11. Semasa dalam Kerajaan saya dah isytihar harta. Kalau ada yang masih nak percaya saya ada kekayaan berbilion, terpulanglah.

12. Yang nyata manusia bermacam ragam. Ada yang cerdik, ada yang kurang. Ada juga yang pandai tak terikut.

SECEBIS SEJARAH NEGERI-NEGERI MELAYU

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Diantara negeri-negeri Melayu di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu, Empayar Johor adalah yang terbesar dan terkaya. Ia termasuk kepulauan di selatan Singapura, iaitu Riau, pulau-pulau Batam, Bentan dan beberapa yang lain.

2. Di zaman British peta Tanah Melayu tidak menunjuk pulau-pulau ini. Kesannya ialah penduduk Malaya tidak sedar adanya banyak pulau di selatan Singapura. Lebih-lebih lagi mereka tidak tahu yang pulau-pulau ini adalah milik negeri Johor.

3. Apa yang berlaku ialah di zaman kolonial tidak ada sesiapa yang bantah apabila Belanda menjadikan pulau-pulau ini sebagai sebahagian dari Dutch East Indies atau Hindia Timur Belanda.

4. Apabila Belanda diusir oleh tentera Indonesia, pulau-pulau ini pun jadi sebahagian dari Republik Indonesia.

5. Apabila merdeka, Malaya dan kemudian Malaysia tidak pernah tuntut pulau-pulau ini. Kita tidak pun sebut dalam sejarah bahawa pulau-pulau ini asalnya sebahagian dari Empayar Johor. Ahli Keluarga Hang Tuah, Hang Nadim meninggal di sana. Lapangan Terbang Hang Nadim di Batam dinamakan dengan nama beliau.

6. Sejarah mencerita berbagai kejadian yang kita lupakan dengan sengaja. Kemegahan Empayar Johor dan besarnya wilayah Johor tidak pun disebut dalam sejarah Johor. Sebaliknya Johor sudah jadi “hinterlandSingapura, yang bergantung kepada Singapura untuk kemajuannya. Demikian kita bantu untuk Singapura jadi lebih luas dengan tanah kita.

SINGAPURA ELEKTRIK

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Akhbar lapor bahawa Singapura memerlukan bekalan elektrik dan akan beli dari Malaysia.

2. Mungkin kerana itu Kementerian Tenaga dan Sumber Asli mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa hanya bekalan dari punca yang non-renewable sahaja yang boleh dieksport ke Singapura. Juga eskport melalui saluran milik swasta tidak dibenar.

3. Tetapi umum tahu bahawa kita sedang eksport air ke Singapura dengan harga 3 sen seribu gelen. Kita juga tahu seludupan pasir laut dan darat sedang dilakukan.

4. Sebaliknya jika kita eksport tenaga dari cahaya matahari dan angin, Malaysia tidak kehilangan apa-apa.

5. Saya kurang faham dengan dasar Kerajaan hari ini. Dengan keputusan ini pelaburan yang tidak kecil dan peluang kerja terhalang.


Najib Razak

6. Najib Razak telah dihukum penjara dan denda kerana kesalahan money laundering.

7. Kononnya kerana ia membuat rayuan hukuman tidak dilaksana.

8. Tarikh kes rayuan ialah pada April 2021. Sepanjang masa ia bebas seperti orang yang tidak salah. Kes tidak didengar kerana bermacam alasan.

9. Dia boleh hadir ke Dewan walaupun tidak dapat ke mahkamah. Adakala kononnya sakit.

10. Mahkamah Rayuan mendengar rayuan Najib. Tetapi keputusan ditangguh. Sudah enam bulan berlalu. Mahkamah belum buat keputusan.

11. Sekarang banduan ini dibenar ke Singapura.

12. Peguam Negara tidak bantah

13. Najib ubah tarikh kerana dipilih oleh UMNO sebagai pengurus dalam pilihan raya Melaka. Ini juga dilulus.

14. Bilakah Najib akan dapat keputusan Mahkamah Rayuan. Jika didapati bersalah, Najib akan rayu kepada Mahkamah Persekutuan.

15. Ini juga akan ambil masa. PRU ke-15 pun sudah tiba. Najib belum disah oleh Mahkamah Persekutuan yang ia bersalah.

16. Tentu boleh bertanding dalam PRU-15.

17. Rakyat tentu berbangga. Curi 10-ringgit masuk penjara serta merta.

18. Curi satu billion-ringgit boleh lepas dari penjara.

19. Ramailah penyangak dan perasuah sekarang bebas menjelajah seluruh dunia sementara hukuman ditangguh atau pertuduhan dibatal.

20. Sekali lagi dunia kagum melihat Malaysia, contoh demokrasi yang liberal di mana yang menang kalah, yang kalah menang, yang curi sedikit dipenjara, yang curi bertimbun bebas.

21. Syabas Malaysia.

LANGKAWI VS PULAU BATU PUTEH

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Tidak wajar kita banding Langkawi dengan Pulau Batu Puteh.

2. Langkawi adalah pulau yang diiktiraf sebagai pulau milik Malaysia sedangkan Pulau Batu Puteh ialah beting atau dengan izin sandbank yang dituntut oleh dua negara.

3. Langkawi tidak pernah dituntut oleh Siam dan pegawai Kerajaan negeri Kedah tidak pernah menyatakan kepada Siam bahawa Kedah tidak anggap Langkawi bukan milik Kedah.

4. Sebaliknya Kerajaan Johor melalui surat telah menyatakan bahawa Johor tidak menuntut Pulau Batu Puteh sebagai milik Kerajaan Johor.

5. Kemudian Malaysia mendakwa Pulau Batu Puteh adalah milik Malaysia. Maka ini dipertikai oleh Singapura. Dan berlakulah kontroversi.

6. Percubaan secara rundingan untuk Malaysia memiliki semula Pulau Batu Puteh bertahun-tahun tidak berjaya. Singapura masih mendakwa Pulau Batu Puteh adalah milik Singapura.

7. Apa pilihan kita?

8. Kita boleh berperang untuk rampas Pulau Batu Puteh. Tetapi kos dan korbanan jiwa amat tinggi. Ia tidak dapat diterima oleh kita. Lagi pun belum tentu kita menang.

9. Kita terus berunding tetapi tidak menghasil apa-apa keputusan.

10. Kita, dan juga Singapura bersetuju untuk rujuk kepada International Court of Justice (ICJ).

11. Tetapi untuk ini kedua-dua pihak perlu berjanji secara bertulis akan menerima apa sahaja keputusan yang dibuat oleh ICJ. Tidak ada rayuan terhadap keputusan ICJ. Keputusan ICJ adalah muktamad.

12. Rujukan kepada ICJ hanya akan diterima oleh ICJ jika perjanjian menerima tanpa soal dan keputusannya dihormati.

13. Negara yang bermaruah mesti hormati janji. Hanya negara yang tidak bermaruah yang akan mungkir janji.

14. Muktamad adalah muktamad. Jika sebuah negara tidak hormati janji, tidak ada negara lain yang akan buat perjanjian dengan negara berkenaan. Ia menjadi negara pariah.

15. Sebab itu sebelum berjanji kajian sedalam-dalamnya perlu dibuat. Jika tidak yakin jangan buat janji.

16. Malaysia mempunyai dasar liberal dalam pemilikan tanah. Siapa sahaja boleh milik tanah. Bukan warganegara pun boleh milik tanah.

17. Ini mendedahkan negara pada kehilangan tanah yang sudah dimiliki oleh orang asing. Jika sebahagian yang besar tanah dimiliki oleh orang asing maka negara sudah tidak lagi secara fizikal, tanah milik warganegara.

18. Inilah yang berlaku di Singapura. Walaupun Singapura asalnya milik negeri Melayu, hari ini ia sudah jadi negara asing.

19. Hari ini walaupun negara ini dikenali sebagai Tanah Melayu, tetapi orang Melayu sendiri sudah kehilangan tanah mereka. Nasib baik yang memiliki tanah yang bernilai tinggi dan besar dimiliki oleh warga Malaysia.

20. Satu lagi cara untuk hilang negara ialah dengan menjual tanah yang digali dalam negara atau laut milik negara kepada negara lain. Secara langsung kita menjual sebahagian dari negara kepada negara lain. Jika tanah yang dijual adalah untuk menambak dan membesar negara lain, dia tidak berbeza dengan menjual bahagian-bahagian tertentu negara kepada negara lain.

21. Hari ini kita jual air dan tanah berlori-lori dan berkapal-kapal ke negara lain guna untuk membesar negara mereka.

22. Atau kita jual laut untuk ditambak dan dimiliki serta diduduki oleh orang lain, keadaannya tidak berbeza dari menjual bahagian-bahagian negara kepada negara asing.

23. Kita jual Singapura. Lazimnya apabila penjajah tidak lagi berminat, tanah yang dijual dikembalikan kepada negara asal. Itulah yang terjadi kepada Hong Kong, Goa, Pondicherry. Tetapi tidak Singapura. Tanah dan air yang kita jual ke Singapura untuk membesar pulau itu menjadi kawasan milik penduduk Singapura, dibangun di bawah kuasa Kerajaan Singapura.

24. Itulah sebabnya Kerajaan Malaysia melarang penjualan tanah kita dan mempertikai jualan air kepada negara asing. Malangnya beberapa pentadbiran Kerajaan Malaysia rela untuk dibayar 3 sen untuk 1000 gelen air mentah kepada negara asing kerana malas atau takut menuntut hak.

RACE-BASED PARTIES

blogtunm.blogspot.com Tun M 
1. Why is it that the political parties in Malaysia are race-based? The answer is that Malaysians insist on retaining their identification with their countries of origin.

2. This is not so in other multiracial countries. The migrants from other countries, upon accepting citizenship adopt the language, culture and loyalties to their adopted countries completely. They get fully assimilated after one or two generations.

3. But in Malaysia the migrants, despite being citizens insist not only on being recognised as of different origins from the indigenous people but are physically separated through their economic functions and their political affiliations.

4. Pejuang is race-based. It is a Malay party. It has to be because it expects to contest against UMNO, a Malay party. And it expects to do this in the rural areas where the population is largely Malay. These people would not support a multiracial party. In the absence of any other Malay party, the rural people will vote for UMNO. Besides UMNO is rich and rural Malays are poor. Money means a lot to them. Pejuang is the alternative.

5. There are issues but race and money are more important.

6. Pejuang has no money. It depends on race and its anti-corruption campaign.

7. As long as we retain our identification with our countries of origin, politics and political parties in Malaysia will remain racial.
