BOOK Review

Asians can think

by Dr. G. Sivalingam*(August 19, 2011)

NOTES to a Prime Minister details Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcops communications or advice to Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in connection with a conflict of a Asian Financial Crisis in Jul 1997 to Aug 1998 when Malaysia introduced unusual collateral controls to save a genuine manage to buy from speculators as well as a IMF, which was obviously possibly sick sensitive or had an evil pattern to in essence renovate a ownership structure of a resources of a essentially clever genuine manage to buy of Malaysia.

One comes out of a celebration of a mass which it was Nor Mohameds brilliant research of a predicament which led him to convince a Prime Minister to impose collateral controls. Many have argued which a collateral controls came a bit as well late since most of a supports had left a economy, when collateral controls were finally introduced upon September 1, 2011. However, a Prime Minister according to a records released in this edited book had taken in to care all aspects of a situation as well as acted responsibly to save a genuine economy, jobs as well as businesses which otherwise might have been eliminated via trouble sales to a foreigners.

This is discordant to a perspective voiced in tip harvesting machine educational journals which collateral controls were introduced to save a Prime Ministers cronies. A suspect process was used by a authors of these educational articles to brand cronies as well as a interpretation manufactured was subjected to vigorous systematic testing to furnish a largely erroneous conc! lusion. This obviously shows which scholarship can be used to crush reality. It is ! timely t shawl a release of this book puts an end to a crony hypothesis of collateral controls which has been in vogue for a little time.

I would not demur to suggest this book for a graduate course in International Finance as it gives a minute comment of hedging as well as forward trading strategies as well as a workings of a general monetary markets upon a day to day basement as a predicament unravels. The records have been a papers of an consultant in a field of general monetary with a minute believe of forward markets as well as instruments used for speculation in both made during home as well as general monetary markets which have been interlinked. The students will find this book of immense worth since it brings to hold up theory in a Malaysian setting.

Nor Mohamed rightly takes issue with a actuality which Malaysias pot during a predicament were deposited in foreign banks like Citibank in Europe as well as a US rather than in a made during home banks located in a Labuan Offshore Financial Centre. This is definitely suggestive of a colonial era.

However, what is some-more deleterious from a monetary indicate of perspective is which Bank Negara deposits a money in foreign banks during a low seductiveness rate as well as when Malayan promissory note needs foreign pot it needs to steal from a bank in Europe during inflated seductiveness rates. What Nor Mohamed righteously questions is why could not these supports be deposited offshore in a Malaysian bank in Labuan as well as used during preference to sentinel off banking speculators.

During a Asian Financial Crisis, a IMF as well as a supporters in Malaysia were pulling for tall sedu! ctivenes s rates, Nor Mohamed rightly argued opposite a offer to increase seductiveness rates. His argument is which seductiveness rates should be increased during a boom as well as not a recession.

The cou! nter arg ument was which augmenting seductiveness rates would capture reduced tenure supports as well as this will help to make firm a ringgit which was afterwards in a giveaway fall. However, augmenting seductiveness rates will means a batch marketplace to crash as margin financing might turn as well dear as well as as a outcome speculators as well as hedge supports will move their money out of Malaysia as well as means a ringgit to depreciate further.

Nor Mohamed additionally forked out during a time of a predicament which tall seductiveness rates will outcome in corporations not being able to service their loans as well as as a outcome a non-performing loans (NPLs) of banks will increase.

Nor Mohamed additionally creates a scold indicate which a fundamentals of a Malaysian manage to buy were clever during a conflict of a Asian Financial Crisis in 1997 as well as continued to be clever via a crisis. The giveaway tumble of a ringgit was afterwards a work of banking speculators driven by animal spirits or what Nor Mohamed prefers to impute to as greed as well as fear.

The actuality a genuine manage to buy was clever was upheld by a actuality which exports were clever as well as FDI was still pouring in. Job waste were during a minimum. The Japanese had additionally taken a perspective which a genuine manage to buy was essentially clever as well as had volunteered to set up a Asian Monetary Fund (AMF) to provide supports to kill a speculators during their own game. However, a Americans as well as a IMF objected to a setting up of a AMF.

As forked out by (Jagdish) Bhagwati of Columbia University, a US Treasury-Wall Street complex together with a IMF were bent upon formulating havoc by driving a ringgit to a giveaway tumble by suggesting which a Malaysian manage to buy was riddled ! with cor ruption as well as cronyism as well as over-investment in lease generating complicated collateral investment projects.

Even Nobel Laureate, A.K. Sen vocalization in Singapore during a time of a predicament was confident of liberation since he forked out which a genuine manage to buy was essentially strong.

The most discredited IMF had to eat a own words when years after a predicament it had to confess w! ith most piety which collateral controls have been necessary in a little situations.

Nor Mohameds records have been additionally some-more than enough to answer a question: Can Asians think? The records obviously uncover which not only can Asians consider but they can consider creatively as well as have been dauntless enough to consider opposite a stream, which is laudable.

This book confirms which it was a nerve-racking time for both Mahathir as well as Nor Mohamed but they managed to locate a bull by a horns as well as drive a manage to buy behind in to a trail of sustainable tall economic growth. This is a most appropriate book upon a Malaysian manage to buy which we have read for a little time.

Singapore Presidential Elections 2011: Tough Battle of a Tans in store

By Seah Chiang Nee

Former Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Dr Tony Tan had tall approval ratings in an online poll when he voiced his preference to run for President, though now he will seemingly face a tough quarrel in next weeks election.

WHEN Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam(right), former Deputy Prime Minister, voiced his goal to run for President dual months ago, a awaiting of him winning ranked tall among surprised citizens.

Most believed which a one-time Peoples Action Party (PAP) monetary strongman, who nearly succeeded Lee Kuan Yew as Prime Minister in 1990, would win hands down.

Many of my friends, including fixed opposition supporters, were among those who thought his chances of winning would be high. In his profession, hes blue chip stuff, pronounced a single retired executive.

With his reputation as well as experience, he towers over others, a darling of a elites. That he had a strong base appeared to be reflected in a Yahoo online poll in Jun when he initial made clear his goal to run.

Some 6,013 or 48% of 12,650 users pronounced they would vote for him.Two months later, however, a suit of support fell to 21% as strong rivals joined a competition as well as revved up a descent in a social media.

In June, with a lis! t o! f candid ates nonetheless to be finalised, Dr Tan led with 48% (6,013), followed by Tan Kin Lian (18% 2,270), Tan Cheng Bock (16% 1,987) as well as incumbent S.R. Nathan (19% 2,382, before his pullout).

By August, (the final list of candidates) Dr Tan had fallen behind to third place, securing 21% or 15,661. It was Dr Tan Cheng Bock in a lead (41% 31,215), followed by Tan Jee Say (30% 22,947). In fourth place was Tan Kin Lian (6% 4,575).

But most damaging might be a strong anti-PAP sentiment carried over from a general choosing in May. It might upset a mild-mannered former financial ministers apple cart.He recently resigned from a party, though a public still seems to link him to PAP policies as well as a celebration itself.

(Lee Kuan Yew once pronounced which he had longed for Dr Tan to succeed him as Prime Minister, though his younger ministers had unanimously selected Goh Chok Tong).

In a stream domestic environment, Lees indebtedness could spell difficulty for his candidacy. PAP supporters, however, contend which online surveys have been not conclusive since they exclude a non-English vocalization as well as non-Internet users.

Besides, a anti-PAP votes being split three ways should safeguard feat for a 71-year-old Dr Tan.I consider he might get rebate than 50% of a vote, pronounced a single celebration grassroots leader.

The presidential choosing to be hold next Saturday is supposed to be non-political, though with a strong emotions generated, gripping it giveaway of politics is impossible.

The campaign is building in to a heated event with booing as well as yelling crowds. Many Singaporeans have been regarding it as an extension of a May general election, when a PAP took a drubbing.

A former traffic unions chief ! as well as former PAP chairman pronounced which since a stream situation, people might prefer a President who i! s not cl osely linked with a PAP. My clarity is which people would prefer if there were someone who can be a strong unifying symbol for Singaporeans, whos not so closely related to a PAP, he commented.

Dr Tony Tan is facing a strong plea from former opposition figure Tan Jee Say, 56, who once served as Goh Chok Tongs Personal Principal Secretary. He joined a private sector, portion as regional managing director of investment firm AIB Govett (Asia).

Of a dual others, Tan Cheng Bock, 71, is a healing doctor as well as ex-PAP MP, as well as Tan Kin Lian, a former senior manager of insurer NTUC Income.

Next weeks vote will be crucial for a PAP. It will show if Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loongs reforms to lessen public grouses namely, a rebate of tall cupboard compensate as well as money coming in of unfamiliar professionals, a provision of some-more public housing as well as varsity places have been operative or not.

If Dr Tans vote falls too much below 60%, it will signify larger unhappiness. This will spell difficulty in a 2016 general election.But if he loses a graphic probability it will be regarded as a initial choosing defeat for a powerful PAP.

Prominent blogger redbean pronounced which Dr Tans defeat would be a clearest pointer of change, which a wind in a PAP sail is off.

The choosing has started a big debate upon a role as well as power of a President. Singaporeans have been perfectionist to known why a largely rite president is paid an eye-popping salary of S$4mil (RM9.85mil) a year.

It was made an inaugurated post in a inherent legislative addition in 1991, which additionally postulated him a couple of special functions including ! a right to veto key supervision positions as well as tap in to Singapores past reserves.

It was Lees idea of safeguarding a nations pot from being frittered away after he is gone. A year after h! e steppe d down as Prime Minister, it came in to effect. Under a scheme, a inaugurated president was to keep a second key to a reserves. But Lee as well as his successors assumingly did not expect a probability of a determined president insisting upon doing his job.

In 1999, then President Ong Teng Cheong suggested which he encountered a long list of problems when he tried to protect a reserves. He pronounced he was not supposing a list of Singapores sum earthy assets.

When he asked, a Accountant-General replied it would take 56 million man-years to work out.Giving a president a capacity to check a supervision might work as long as he is a pro-PAP figure, pronounced a blogger.

What will happen if a PAP critic, or worse, someone hailing from a opposition, is inaugurated as well as decides to challenge? All this might have increased a chance in destiny of another inherent legislative addition upon presidential powers.

End the charade, revoke the ban on Bersih 2.0 and drop all charges against the 1,600 Bersih demonstrators and others related to wearing Bersih T-shirt


End a charade, devaluate a anathema upon Bersih 2.0 as well as dump all charges against a 1,600 Bersih demonstrators as well as others associated to wearing Bersih T-shirts or yellow

By Lim Kit Siang

On a occasion of a sixth yellow Saturday, I call upon a Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak to end a Barisan Nasional supervision sham for a past two months, devaluate a anathema upon Bersih 2.0 as well as dump all charges against a 1,600 Malaysians arrested for receiving partial in a peaceful Bersih 2.0 convene for free as well as satisfactory elections upon July 9 as well as all others associated to Bersih 2.0 rally, together with those for wearing Bersih T-shirts or only wearing yellow.

Let a Prime Minister as well as all Barisan Nasional Ministers come out plainly to admit which they had sincerely mishandled a Bersih 2.0 convene for free as well as satisfactory elections, which have been a many pertinent, legitimate as well as approved aspirations of right-thinking Malaysians so which a Malaysian electoral routine can win a support, confidence as well as legitimacy of Malaysian voters.

It is no answer to a Bersih 2.0 convene for a Barisan Nasional Ministers as well as a Election Commission to opposite which if a electoral complement is as flawed as alleged by Bersih 2.0, Pakatan Rakyat as well as a civil society, then Pakatan Rakyat would not have won in five states ! or denie d a Barisan Nasional two-thirds parliamentary infancy in a 2008 ubiquitous elections.

The sim! ple as well as guileless response to such an argument is which if not for a flawed electoral system, more than five states would have fallen to a Pakatan Rakyat parties as well as during a inhabitant level, a Pakatan Rakyat parties might even be inside of stretch of replacing a Barisan Nasional supervision in Putrajaya.

Whether such a unfolding would have taken place is highly debatable as well as a single could disagree until a cows come home though a conclusion though what is undoubtedly over brawl is which a Pakatan Rakyat parties would definitely have made more electoral gains either during a state or parliamentary levels in a 2008 ubiquitous elections if a flaws in a electoral complement had not been present.

The overbearing supervision as well as police action upon Bersih 2.0 convene have brought a misfortune publicity as well as image to Malaysia during Najibs short reign as Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister as well as a Barisan Nasional Ministers should make evident justification for their sum misjudgement as well as mishandling of a Bersih 2.0 convene as well as show respect for their peaceful as well as nationalistic countenance by Malaysians regardless of competition as well as sacrament who had courageously supported a Bersih 2.0 convene despite many unjustified as well as horrible threats as well as intimidations by a assorted equipment of supervision as well as their proxies.

In fact, a Prime Minister should show high regard which a Bersih 2.0 peaceful convene of some 50,000 Malaysians, regardless of race, religion, age as well as gender is so far a most appropriate as well as many superb proof of a true 1Malaysia judgment which he had promoted though not left much over sloganeering since acceding a highest bureau of a land.

By Emeritus Professor Omar Abdul Rahman*

AT a 34th crowd of Universiti Putra Malaysia in Oct last year in my ucapan balas for a conferment of an emeritus professorship during a university, I had referred to a defined brand brand brand new purpose for a open universities in line with a significance upon inhabitant transformation, as great as that they be called transformational universities (TU).

What also stirred me to do so was a active sermon upon a becoming opposite purpose of universities between academics in a West.

During a talk in Kuala Lumpur in Jul 2007, Professor Tim Wilson of Hertfordshire University described his university as great as a few others in a United Kingdom as business-facing. They broach preparation by a commercial operation perspective. Courses have been designed with attention input. They adopt a revolving doorway proceed to business. They support entrepreneurship. They foster user-driven investigate as great as development. They give credits for commercial operation internship. They are, therefore, opposite from a comparison academic-facing UK universities such as Oxford as great as Cambridge. However, most universities right away have been a reduction of both.

Richard Levine, writing in a August 2006 emanate of Newsweek magazine, described a number of tellurian universities. They find students from around a world. They send their students abroad. They suggest courses that residence a challenges of an companion world. They undertake collaborative investigate programmes to benefit all humanity, he writes

The tip 5 tellurian universities were American. Cambridge as great as Oxford ! came in sixth as great as eighth respectively. Two Japanese as great as two Australian universities were in a tip 40. T! he only ASEAN deputy was a National University of Singapore (NUS), during 31st position.

Similar to a global-university judgment is a third era university (3GU). This was described by Professor J.G. Wissema of Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, in his 2009 book Towards a Third Generation University.

3GUs have been characterised by active competition globally for a most appropriate students, academics as great as investigate contracts, endeavour interdisciplinary investigate focusing upon tellurian issues, pursuing active R&D commercialisation as great as encouraging a growth of technostarters from between students as great as faculty.

Because of a significance trustworthy to commercialisation, they have an elaborate organisation as great as supervision structure. Massachusetts Institute of Technology as great as Cambridge have been between a 3GUs, whilst Institut Teknologi Bandung is an e.g. of a university in transition to a 3GU.

There was also an argument for UK universities to concentration more upon a local community. Professor John Goddard of Newcastle University had in 2009 called for reinventing a county university in a publication by a inhabitant genius for science, record as great as a arts.

What afterwards is a incident in Malaysia? UPM was modelled after a United States land-grant colleges whose functions were teaching, investigate as great as extension. Extension was a vital activity of UPM. Facilities for unsentimental aspects were extensive in sequence to offer great a subdivision a tillage community.

When UPM altered a name to Putra, a facilities were mostly distant as great as a prolongation u! se disco ntinued. UPM became only like any other Malaysian university. However, UPM is right away repositioning itself to lead again in a brand brand brand new agriculture, implying a duplicate of hi-tech as great as mo! dern male agement, high value-added agribusiness as great as sustainability.

Five Malaysian open institutions of higher guidance have been right away investigate universities, a single of that is a apex university. All have strengthened their infrastructure for science, record as great as innovation (STI) as great as their effort in research, growth as great as commercialisation (R,D&C).

They have been also office building a organisation as great as supervision structure for R,D&C in a demeanour of a 3GU described earlier, but with less tellurian engagement. Our investigate universities are, therefore, in a great in front of to minister directly to a inhabitant socio-economic transformation programme. This is a single vital attribute of a transformational university, a other being holistic tellurian collateral development.

Holistic tellurian collateral growth equates to a growth of a full tellurian intensity comprising a portfolio of opposite skills as great as resources compulsory by both supervision as great as industry. The judgment embraces egghead collateral (strategic suspicion process), ability collateral (technical competency), amicable collateral (inter-personal skill, communication, cooperativeness, intelligent partnership), entrepreneurial collateral (creativity, innovativeness, entrepreneurship, managerial), physiological collateral (commitment, passion, dedication, self-belief) as great as spiritual collateral that includes reliable values as great as integrity.

The holistic tellurian collateral components can be delivered either formally as partial of a courses or non-formally by a gainful campus environment. For example, elements of entrepreneurship as great as supervision can be incorporated as partial of a core of all courses.

The racial com! position of a students together with a presence of foreign students can be harnessed to raise a amicable as great as physiological capital.

Success in office building holistic tellurian collateral will produce higher knowledge workers. These have been people who can yield solutions to problems, working alone or in a team; have been versed with core competency; be rarely motivated, ada! ptable a nd retain a genius for life-long guidance to master brand brand brand new skills; as great as become risk-taking technostarter, with intelligent partnership work ethics.

The holistic tellurian collateral growth will emanate an innovative as great as beautiful workforce, critical for success in a innovation economy. Unfortunately, a charge of office building holistic tellurian collateral cannot be left to a university alone. It has to begin during home, by a school complement as great as eventually, during work. However, a TU does not have to wait. It can start conceptualizing programmes as great as emanate a ecosystem immediately.

A transformational purpose for a open universities implies a commitment to a inhabitant socio-economic transformation programme by two vital initiatives. First, a holistic tellurian collateral growth contributing to a creative, innovative as great as courteous workforce; second, an enhanced genius for value in STI as great as R,D&C contributing to genius office building as great as wealth creation.

Universities in a nation have been underneath vigour to change. The vigour from tellurian ranking is one. But there have been concerns also upon a disappearing quality of graduates as expressed by a attention village as great as a open during large. Its time to transform, to be transformational.

Tan Sri Omar Abdul Rahman is Senior Fellow as great as Founding President, Academy of Sciences Malaysia, He was formerly Science Advisor to a Prime Minister in a Mahathir Administration.

Scholarship is a Privilege

So a fight for a right to scholarships has taken upon a legal recourse literally.

Seems as reported in a media, "A tyro sued Khazanah Nasional Berhad as well as 3 others during a High Court here for not giving him a Khazanah-Cambridge Scholarship.Chan Chow Wang filed by his law firm a suit upon interest of his child Chan Xian Yao."

The volume is a towering RM1 million from being deprived of a RM600k sum grant volume if a child does study in Cambridge.

The issue is everybody intelligent as well as not so smart, abounding or bad is thinking they have a right to scholarship. The saddest partial it has taken upon a rarely extremist stance.

Since a counsel father is suing it means this is a bad lawyer, while dispels a idea which lawyers identical to shark have been infamous when it comes to charging we as well as identical to shark fins very expensive to be associated with.

Relating again to my own case, even a child got an Oxford suggest for Biotechnology was deserted by PSD. And what do we tell a child which being a Chinese has zero to do with it though which PSD doesn't consider we would have it to Oxford. The child graduated with 1st category honours in University of Melbourne as well as a singular of a tip five in a class. Hindsight isn't a good reasoning to claim we should have got it in a initial place right? One can disagree U of Melbourne is zero compared to Oxford? But PSD didn't consider we good sufficient for them to go Oxford even if Oxford pronounced we have been good sufficient irrespective meaningful a child is from a singular family where a surviving father has to scapegoat alot to see a two kids through.

So we have this child with a counsel dad. Smart as any alternative child with identical results. What doe sueing infer anything?

It's not for a applicant to demand. It's a grant not a salary identical to we have been working for Khazanah as well as demand which right to a scholarship.

And a father pays taxes, so do we as well as a thou! sand alt ernative relatives with intelligent kids!

The child as well as a primogenitor have been not intelligent to merit a scholarship. Th! ey place all their idea in Khazanah as well as do not have plan B!!! If a child was so smart, Cambridge will help!!!

There have been most intelligent kids as well as poorer family groups who have been smarter as well as a kids have been study in tip universities though supervision grant award. Just becoz a father is a counsel as well as it's free compared to a singular engaging a shark, we mean lawyer, a supervision is being sued. Those relatives who can't means a counsel find alternative means as well as a kids show they have been intelligent to know what to do to go by college.

And to ask every organisation to reveal their criteria of preference is asking every company to declare their preference criteria of selecting employees. It's not a supply demand equation any more though a demand we get it just since we do not agree to a preference criteria to be bias towards selecting we huh?

While we sympathise with a intelligent kid, a intelligent chairman will have plan B or plan C. So what if we can't go Cambridge now. Prove yourself as well as subsequent time we work as well as get your money we can come in Cambridge for a post grad right? Thousands have finished which so did I.

To all those who consider grant is a right, get real? Blame Kulitfication or certain action or whatever forgive we want to use. But a finish diversion is do not censure others if we do not make make use of of your intelligence to reach your goal.

Go check Cheverning or a little tip scholarships. Unless your father is a social counsel who doesn't assign shark fins fee, as well as such lawyers have been as singular as shark fins these days, lawyers have been improved off than most many millions alternative parents!

Knowing most friends including one's own knowledge of being from a bad credentials as well as a plant of a NEP as well as kulitfication to ad! vance on e's academic gift though with stability as well as tough work, things turned out great!

So since should intelligent kids with affordable relatives earnings consider they merit to be in front of a queue than alternative intelligent kids who doesn't have dads to sue a supervision huh?

Just accept we have been not good sufficient whatev! er a r eason.

If we have been Cambridge material, make make use of of your cleverness to look for alternative avenues of financial support. Not demand as grant is a payoff NOT a right!

I know of relatives who debt their homes or take a loan to unite their kids for studies. Even if a volume is not Cambridge type, to them it's identical to 'Cambridge' expenditure.

Sure such hapless spin of events will go on to drain BolehLand of brain drain. If not giving this child brings about more brain drain, a supervision doesn't consider it is unpropitious or affect their political position, right?

So let's not spin this box into an additional politicised box since if a father feels strongly which intelligent kids merit supervision scholarships, do not be so greedy as well as only consider of your own needs. Care to provide free legal service to fight for a thousands more deprived of scholarships. Even those who didn't get them from private foundations or institutions which suggest scholarships too huh?

Or better, sue a a singular who pronounced 'read my lips, scholarships for every super As student', yes?
YAHMEH!!!
