The Whole Truth as well as Nothing But
by Thomas Friedman
Published: Sep 6, 2011
Kishore Mahbubani, a late Singaporean diplomat, published a provocative letter in The Financial Times upon Monday which began similar to this:
Dictators have been falling. Democracies have been failing. A extraordinary coincidence? Or is it, perhaps, a sign which something fundamental has altered in a pellet of human history. you hold so. How do dictators survive? They discuss it lies. Muammar Gaddafi was a single of a biggest liars of all time. He claimed which his people loved him. He additionally controlled a flow of report to his people to prevent any alternative narrative receiving hold. Then a elementary cellphone enabled people to connect. The law widespread during large to drown out all a lies which a colonel promote over a airwaves. So because have been democracies unwell during a same time? The elementary answer: democracies have additionally been telling lies.
Mahbubani remarkable which a eurozone project was combined upon a large lie which countries could have financial union as well as mercantile autonomy without pain. Meanwhile, in America, added Mahbubani, right away a vanguard of a Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy during a National University of Singapore, No U.S. leaders brave to discuss it a law to a people. All their pronouncements rest upon a mythical arrogance which recovery is around a corner. Implicitly, they say this is a normal recession. But this is no normal recession. There will be no painless solution. Sacrifice will be needed, as well as a American people know this. But no American statesman dares utter a word sacri! fice. Pa inful truths cannot be told.
Of course, there is a large disproportion be! tween Am erica as well as Libya. We can vote out a liars, distinct sure Arab 
as well as Asian countries. Still, Mahbubanis some-more aged warrants a little thoughtfulness this week, which coincides with a 10th anniversary of 9/11 as well as a presidents jobs speech. It is a good week for truth-telling.
Can you recollect a last time you felt a national leader looked us in a eye as well as told us there is no easy resolution to a vital problems, which weve gotten in to this disaster by being self-indulgent or ideologically fixated over two decades as well as which right away you need to spend a next 5 years rolling up a sleeves, possibly usurpation a reduce vital standard as well as creation up for a excesses?
For me, this is a many vicious thing to say both upon a anniversary of 9/11 as well as upon a night before of President Obamas jobs speech. After all, they have been intertwined. Why has this been a mislaid decade? An answer can be found in a single elementary comparison: How Dwight Eisenhower as well as his successors used a cold fight as well as how George W. Bush used 9/11. America had to face down a Russians in a cold war.
America had to reply to 9/11 as well as a hazard of Al Qaeda. But a vicious disproportion in between a two was this: Beginning with Eisenhower as well as continuing to a little grade with each cold fight president, you used a cold fight as well as a Russian hazard as a reason as well as motivator to do big, tough things together during home to do nation-building in America. We used it to set up a widespread main road system, put a man upon a moon, push out a boundaries of science, teach new languages, maintain mercantile fortify and, when needed, raise taxes. We won a cold f! ight wit h collective action.
George W. Bush did a opposite. He used 9/11 as an excuse to reduce taxes, to begin two wars which for a initial time in a story were not paid for by taxation increases, as well as to create a dear n! ew entit lement in Medicare prescription drugs. Imagine where wed be today if upon a sunrise of 9/12 Bush had announced (as a little of us advocated) a Patriot Tax of $1 per gallon of gas to compensate for education, infrastructure as well as government research, to help finance a wars as well as to slash a dependence upon Middle East oil. Gasoline in a U.S. upon Sept. 11, 2001, averaged $1.66 a gallon.
But rsther than than use 9/11 to summon us to nation-building during home, Bush used it as an excuse to celebration to double down upon a radical tax-cutting bulletin for a rich which not usually did not spur rising vital standards for many Americans though has right away left us with a outrageous round as well as chain around a ankle. And later, rsther than than asking each of us to minister something to a war, he outsourced it to one-half of one-percent of a American people. Everyone else yall have fun.
We used a cold fight to strech a moon as well as parent new industries. We used 9/11 to create better body scanners as well as some-more T.S.A. agents. It will be remembered as a single of a biggest mislaid opportunities of any presidency ever.
My romantic hope is which upon Thursday Mr. Obama will set an example as well as discuss it a cold, tough law to parents as well as kids. you know. Honesty, you have been told, is suicidal in politics. But as long as each resolution which is tough is off a table, afterwards a delayed national decrease will sojourn upon a table. The open is ready for some-more than Michele Bachmanns fairy-dust guarantee which she can restore $2 a gal! lon gaso line.
For once, Mr. President, lets begin a debate with a truth. Tell us what you really consider will be required to get us out of this stagnation, what kind of collective action as well as common scapegoat will be indispensable as well as because which can lead not only to muddling through, not only to being O.K., though to restoring American greatness.

Widening cracks in SPDP
A Jul pow-wow has not healed a wounds inside of Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP).
KUCHING: Hopes of settlement in in between Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP) boss William Mawan as well as a insurgent organisation popularly known as SPDP 5 is looking more as well as more remote as a fight of difference in in between them increases in a velocity.
The two-year predicament appeared to have been resolved in Jul when Mawan, senior clamp boss as well as Tasik Biru representative Peter Nansian as well as former SPDP cabinet member general as well as Marudi representative Sylvester Enteri met for a pow-wow.
The role was to find solutions to finalise a predicament which has adversely influenced a partys unity as well as has caused a loss of a strongholds of Krian as well as BaKelalan seats in a Apr election.
The alternative 3 dissenting members Mas Gading MP as well as clamp boss Dr Tiki Lafe, Bekenu assemblywoman Rosey Yunus as well as Batu Danau representative Paulus Gumbang were however not invited to a meeting.
Although a predicament appeared to have mellowed following a Jul meeting, it came to front again final week when Mawan in jeopardy to make make make use of of of his presidential energy to take movement opposite a 5 for allegedly creating factionalism inside of a party.
Although Mawan did not name a five, it was viewable he was referring to a group, which had not usually failed to attend a partys autarchic legislature meetings for a past dual years, though had shown small respect for a president.
In a strongly-ordered warning, he said: If we am forced to take action, we will take it regardless of a consequences.
I will not hesitate to make make make use of of of m! y presid ential energy to take movement opposite any member who foments factionalism inside of a party.
This is to avert disunity among! a mem bers which could lead to destruction of a party, he said, indicating out which there are forums where they can assemble to reconsider differences.
There is no need to resort to unfavourable ways to finalise them, Mawan added.
No camps
The first to reply was Tiki, who denied which there were camps in a party, though certified there were differences.
When we talked about factions in any grouping, there is firm to be faction.
We as leaders, including a president, should be a final a single to speak about factions.
The impulse a tip leaders speak about factions, a people upon a ground would start to speak about their own factions, he said.
Next to criticism upon Mawans notice was Nansian who certified which there were couple of times he had failed to attend a autarchic legislature meetings.
That was because he was either divided abroad for central duties or committed elsewhere.
For all occasions a celebration had been informed in advance.
But if a care wants to make make make use of of of my absences to find error with me there is nothing much we can do, he said.
Trust compromised
Also joining a fight of difference was Enteri who pronounced Mawans matter was aimed during threatening as well as frightening a group.
He pronounced it had swept underneath a carpet whatever certitude as well as certainty which arose from their assembly with him upon Jul twenty-five this year.
Enteri pronounced which what Mawan had pronounced in Sibu contradicted what was pronounced as well as discussed in their assembly in his office.
He pronounced which a matter was a departure from a agreement they had during a assembly which between others discussed how they could finalise a problems which had influenced a celebration for a final dual years! .
Our intention in a assembly was to connect a celebration as well as he concluded to what were discussed, though a matter in Sibu seems to show which he has reservations as well as perceives us as not constant to a party.
Our organisation is fed up as it has tolerated enou! gh since a predicament erupted final year, Enteri said.
Still revengeful
Mawan used a single of his strong men, Alexander Asing Sadai, emissary chairman Samarahan bend to reprimand Enteri for his attack upon a president.
Said Asing: we am of a perspective which he is still rancorous even after Mawan called Nansian as well as him for a assembly during his bureau upon Jul twenty-five in Kuching to settle their differences.
Even after this Enteri has continued with his written assault upon a boss in a media, as well as if he continues to do that, afterwards he is violation up a party.
It is an action of sum insubordination, Asing added.
Defending Enteri was Peter Gani, chairman of SPDP Pelagus division who criticised Asing for creation a inequitable statement.
Obviously, a predicament in a celebration is removing worse.
Rumours of brand brand brand brand new party
But what was it which triggered Mawans outburst in Sibu? Did he hear of rumours which a SPDP 5 was forming a BN friendly celebration which aims to competition in constituencies hold by SPDP as well as Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS)?
Rumours to which effect have been present in major cities as well as towns in Sarawak.
The rumours appear to have some air of law especially after a Sarawak Registrar of Societies reliable receiving 4 applications to register brand brand brand brand new parties.
State director, Ken Leben disclosed which a single of a applications was to register Parti Bumi Kenyalang.
A source from a SPDP 5 pronounced which their followers are perfectionist which they either form a brand brand brand brand new celebration so whic! h they h ave a possibility to competition opposite any BN claimant or challenge Mawan as well as a presidents organisation in a next celebration election.
Mawan contingency have got breeze of a information. Disagreement in in between a 5 as well as a boss began in Jan 2010 when they indicted a boss of unwell to honour his word of gripping Enteri as cabinet member general.
Instead he allocated Nelson Balang Rining to reinstate Enteri.
No solidarity
The guarantee was made prior to a Dec 2009 celebration choosing by Mawan in order to prevent any challenge to his leadership.
When Mawan announced a brand brand brand brand new appointment in Jan 2010 a 5 as well as 3 alternative members of a autarchic legislature walked out from a meeting.
Since afterwards they have never attended a autarchic legislature meetings or functions organised by a party.
Even a solidarity dinner planned for Sep final year had to be cancelled when a insurgent organisation refused to attend.
All sorts of excuses had been since by them for not in attendance a meetings as well as functions.
However, usually prior to a state choosing in April, a 4 state representatives met with Mawan as well as pronounced to have apologised to a president.
But their efforts to make assent were deliberate not genuine as they were pronounced to be usually meddlesome in removing letters authorising them to make make make use of of of SPDP to competition a election.
Mawans supporters believed which he was duped in to signing a letters of authority. Feeling betrayed, a celebration denied a 4 of monetary as well as logistical await during a election.
Now a predicament is not usually back to block one, though it is removing worse.

Mat Sabu rujuk, tapi tak baca buku Yayasan Warisan Johor
Tindakan Timbalan Presiden Pas, Mohamad Sabu @ Mat Sabu Bintang 3 cuba 'mengukuhkan' kenyataannya bahawa Muhammad Indera dan rakan seperjuangan dalam Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) yang menyerang Balai Polis Bukit Kepong sebagai pejuang kemerdekaan nyata memakan diri.Apa yang pasti, pemimpin nombor dua Pas itu perlu kembali 'semula' ke sekolah untuk belajar sejarah dengan lebih mendalam kerana
Sultan and Ah Long
My report for yesterday was changed several times as things did not go exactly as planned. So there we was during a KLCC automobile park irreverence what a heck we am doing going turn as well as turn looking for a parking space. After some-more than an hour we found one. At a lift we was sweating identical to we just got off from a shower. Still impiety as well as irreverence we make a wrong preference of in attendance a IGEM 2011 currently instead of tomorrow.
At a counter, we was told which my name is not registered. Again we am irreverence what a heck was wrong today. So we had to fill up a form as well as wait during a queue.Then a man approached me to step divided from a red runner to allow their visitors through. To my warn it was Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir - a Yang DiPertuan Besar (Sultan) of Negeri Sembilan. When Tuanku gave me a big smile, we just had to say hello. The minute Tuanku acknowledge it, my suggestion did a somersault as well as here we am essay about it. That grin was genuine without a tint of hypocrisy unlike a little Sultans.
That was a most appropriate disinfectant we had for a very long, prolonged time. And child do we need one after sure unpleasant event.
My meetings with Ah Longs have been never intentional. Most times we am not wakeful who they have been until we am told much later or when it happens by chance we see weapons or face with a incident when a fight is about to begin.
Ah Longs have been also well known as thugs or gangsters infrequently they do kill if a cost is right. The Ah Longs (thugs or gangsters) we know pro! longed a go have been gentlemen. But a ones we encountered for a past dual years have been different stock.
Poor p! eople ne ed Ah Longs to put food upon a table. Rich people generally a ones with titles have been regulating Ah Longs (thugs or gangsters) to con, take as well as threaten others.
Mahathir used Yeoh Tiong Lay to blackmail people, Isa used murderers to get votes, Daim used Ah Long to cheat, take as well as squeeze whatever they want, as well as Husein used Ah Long to threaten others.
So here we am meditative during a last week of Ramadan, do we or do we not call up aged friends.
An aged observant kept my faith. If we lie others, others will lie we back. If we make use of income to kill others, income will kill you. And if we make use of Ah Long (thugs or gangsters) to satisfy your ego as well as greed afterwards we will die in a hands of a Ah Long (thugs or gangsters.)
This Raya was rather unusual. Every Ramadan we put up a sign Selamat Hari Raya during a shop. This year sure alphabets keep falling down. A, L, Y as well as H. I told my young kids something ugly is about to happen to us in a shop. And loyal sufficient it happened. My landlord Husein send A, L as well as Y.
So what is a connection in between Tuanku as well as myself. We were both bullied in identical manner. Yesterday when we saw Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir, we knew which things will be okay.
Special thanks to Tuanku Muhriz Tuanku Munawir.

The danger of holding Gold in the long term
Gold has no utility other than seeking glossy as well as pretty. Gold direct equals fright direct as well as when people becomes some-more fearful than you in a year or two, afterwards you will make income though if they have been less afraid, afterwards you will lose money. Gold by itself doesnt furnish anything as well as is a bad investment in a prolonged run
- Warren Buffet upon Gold Investment
Gold is not an Investment as perceived by a lot of investors though rather it is an Insurance against bad times. As Warren Buffet said, a direct for bullion is subsequent to to fright demand. That equates to a direct of bullion will be correlated to a level of uncertainty in a marketplace .The some-more capricious a marketplace, a aloft a direct for gold.
An intelligent financier during capricious times, will add bullion in his/her portfolio as partial of its asset allocation. It will be a intelligent pierce to usually allocate a tiny commission of your portfolio, probably about 3-5% to gold. This is to safeguard that, if there have been any huge dislocations in currencies as well as economies, you will still be protected in a single approach or another. Why usually allocate such a tiny commission as well as not more? Why Gold is not a good investment?
Firstly, bullion cost is highly manipulative, as demonstrated during a past decades. There is regularly a bent for a fiat banking complement of administration to conceal a cost of bullion whenever it retain a threat. Currently, you have dual camps of people. One belonging to a fiat currency, whilst a other is pro bullion standard. As such, there is a fight starting upon in between a ! fiat ban king complement of administration as well as a bullion standard.
Unfortunately, those people which have been job a shots have been a ones which have been running a fiat curre! ncy regi me. They will not demur to make use of any equates to available, possibly by a central bank, Presidential Orders as well as etc to conceal gold.
Contrary to renouned belief, which The Federal Reserve is government owned since of a word FEDERAL. The Federal Reserve is essentially a secretly owned entity. It consists of 12 informal Reserve Banks as well as have been especially owned by a most member blurb banks. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York binds a largest commission of shares (53%) in a Federal Reserve System.
The dual largest shareholders of a New York Federal Reserve have been JPMorgan Chase as well as Citigroup. JPMorgan as well as Citibank have been a financial cornerstone of Morgan as well as Rockefeller empires. So, being a largest shareholders of New York Federal Reserve meant that, they have been additionally a largest shareholders of a Federal Reservesystem in a U.S, since NY Federal Reserve binds a largest share in a system.
The cartel which owns a fiat banking additionally owns CME. So basically by owning a Federal Reserve, these cartels probably have unlimited supply of fiat income during their disposal. Rockefeller is additionally known to be a shareholder of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) as well as during a same time additionally have a really large reduced position in bullion futures, up to a balance of a couple of hundred billion dollars. So, there is a healthy bent for him to conceal a cost of bullion by regulating CME to travel a trade margins in gold.
Secondly, if a margin hikes by CME doesnt work, a Federal Reserve by Bernanke will not demur to invoke a Paul Volcker 1981s shock as well as awe. In 1981, a afterwards Chairman of a Federal Reserve, Paul Volcker in his bid to finish a goods of depredation acceleration (13.5% in 1981) from commodities as well as gold! , raised a seductiveness rate to 21.5% in 1981. At a same time unfamiliar dollar holders have been additionally dumping a dollar in protest over a unfamiliar policies of a Carter administration.
As a result of a seductiveness hike, it has strictly ended a longhorn market for bullion from a 1970s to 1981. Go! ld cost went into a downward spiral for a subsequent twenty years. The tripling of a seductiveness rate, during a same time additionally forces tellurian seductiveness rates to go by a roof tiles as well as triggering a tellurian recession. By 1982, a dollars status as a world reserve banking was restored.
Finally, during a last Great Depression in a 1930s, there were bank runs as well as shutdowns. Also, following Englands 1931 preference to remove a bruise argent from a bullion standard, foreigners have been branch to a US for gold. At which time, a Federal Reserve Note is 40% behind by gold. The authorities know which which if everybody starts converting their dollar land to bullion afterwards in no time there will be no bullion left to behind a currency. Hence, a income supply will fall completely.
Something drastic indispensable to be done, to hindrance a shocking trend, upon 5th April 1933, President Roosevelt allocate a bullion of Americans by changing a FRN, from a guarantee to compensate in bullion into authorised proposal itself, behind by a full conviction as well as credit of a United States. He debased a US dollar by 40% overnight, by raising a cost of bullion from $20.67 per troy unit to $35.00 per troy ounce.
However, nobody can take value of this offer since people have been not allowed to sell their bullion until 31stDecember 1974, where Americans can afterwards buy, sell as well as reason gold. It is similar to having a opposite in a KLSE suspended for a subsequent 40 years as well as by a time it reopens in 2051, I dont consider most of us will be around.
Desperate time requires desperate magnitude as well as you will not be warn if a Obama administration wi! ll again allocate gold. As you can see a odds of winning in this diversion in a prolonged run is biased towards a cartels. As prolonged as those in assign have been pro fiat currency, afterwards bullion cost will regularly be suppressed as well as they can resort to any measures which they deemed right, even by regulating arm twisting tactics.
Nobel laureate Nouriel Roubini, after several fake call for a market tip when a cost of bullion overwhelmed US 830 as well as U! S 1300 t wittered a following message, with importance added.
SPAM (American pork luncheon meat) is a improved hedge against acceleration than bullion : you can eat it as well as it can lasts 1000 years. Gold is as Keynes aptly said, a barbarous relic.
Anyway for a consequence of discussion,, as you know a cost of bullion futures precedes mark bullion price. When everybody starts to hasten for earthy gold, of course all those who have been land paper bullion futures will start dumping, when they realize there will be no earthy bullion for delivery. This will lead to a fall in a cost of bullion futures. Since mark bullion cost follows a cost of bullion futures, what will it be of mark bullion prices? Can anyone illuminate me upon this, please?

EC never wrong, it's always somebody else's mistake
'If only EC has implemented a little checks into a complement to countenance a firmness of a data, a errors would have been minimised.'Military spouses blunder: EC blames partner registrars
Joker: When Election Commission emissary chairperson Wan Ahmad Wan Omar pronounced a electoral roll was not 100% clean, he meant it was 99.9999% clean. How laughable.
Isn't there a complement of check as well as change in a EC system? Or is it just 'rubbish in, balderdash out'? What have been those EC staff doing in their office? They do not need to go out as well as register voters, they only have to 'link' a EC's database with a NRD (National Registration Department).
Josephine: EC should stop blaming others for a errors. If only EC has implemented a little checks into a complement to countenance a firmness of a data, a errors would have been minimised.
For a start, a complete EC database (in entertaining format) should be done accessible to Bersih 2.0 or alternative 'legal' choosing watchdog as well as domestic parties. We need to write little programmes to separate by a database to see if a EC interpretation creates sense.
I would adore to see a relapse of voter registration by years, as well as we would want to analyse a electorate by their place of birth. And yes, a series of electorate per postal residence would be engaging too.
As for postal voters, we would run a elementary proof to purge those who have been retirees, who have no business to sojourn as postal voters. At a same time, civilian IC numbers of a postal electorate should be matched opposite a voter database to catch a cheaters.
FairMind: If a troops can have mistakes in stuffing a elementary form how could they ever fly an aircraft or correctly target their artillery.
It seems similar to a EC is relying upon a public to do their job for them. Mistakes after mistakes have been pointed out to a EC as well as still they deny there is something wrong with a complement as well as instead disagree which these have been merely "clerical" mistakes.
Don't a EC do their own vetting upon a accuracy of their inputs or have been they closing one eye in serving their domestic masters?
Bluemountains: There is really an organized fraud, though a EC has not even taken any action opposite those who submitted fraudulent documents. Why? The inaction of a EC has since a rakyat a sense which it is condoning criminal activities.
Anonymous_3e8f: The censure game again. Please, both EC arch as well as emissary chief, we must have collective responsibility. What have been we paid for? Pass a sire when mistakes have been highlighted?
If we cannot accept responsibility, just resign rught away for alternative some-more efficient people to helm a EC.
Hello: All these errors have been coming out in a open thick as well as quick - indeed, these have been not errors though an intentional abuse of a voter electoral rolls.
The EC chairperson as well as emissary chairperson keep putting a censure of these errors upon technical glitches as well as a AROs (assistant registration officers) so often which their credit is now totally suspect.
The accumulation of abuses in a registration of electorate goes to prove which there is consistent stuf! fing of a electoral rolls to a value of Umno-BN. The people in charge of EC have been a ones which should be hold responsible as well as accountable.
D4f: The EC is never wro! ng, it i s always somebody else's mistake.
Kgen: Another shady explanation. How can nineteen identical cases be mistakes? Even if a ARO done a mistake, how can EC list them upon a rolls without verifying their status? This looks some-more similar to organized rascal than supposed mistakes.
Anonymous_3da6: The EC can't censure a AROs for these errors. As we have referred to before, a EC has spent millions of ringgit of our money to buy a computer complement which cannot even flag interpretation entrance errors. What a waste!
It's no make make use of of for EC to discuss it a rakyat to mark a errors for them as well as they will scold them immediately. This is not a right way.
The EC should ask a IT department to write an review programme to separate by their database to mark these errors. It's impossible for a rakyat to check a millions of annals manually in such a reduced time. It's not fair.
The EC database is corrupted as well as not acceptable for make make use of of if an IT review check is not done. Go get an eccentric IT group to do it fast. The rakyat should not concede a current corrupted database to be used for a subsequent GE.
Armageddon: Every time discrepancies highlighted, Wan Ahmad will fast claim it is an blunder by someone alternative than himself. we think a biggest blunder was to designate him as emissary EC chief.
With so most 'glitches', no longer a coincidence
Fear God Not Man: To stop these "glitches", a persons who register a electorate have to take a responsibilities. He or she has to sign upon any voter's registration paper as well as give their IC number.

Bernamas Moment of Truth

Bernamas Moment of Truth
Dean Johns@www.malaysiakini.com
Sep 7, 11
12:52pm
Assuming which headlines of a genocide of BernamaTV cameraman Noramfaizul Mohd Nor in Somalia is loyal a massive assumption indeed since Bernamas disgracefully dubious reporting record this is unhappy tidings indeed for a man as well as his family as well as friends.
But even if this is a singular impulse of truth, it is additionally a salubrious being check for any Malaysian still innocent or ignorant sufficient to hold a load of lies as well as disinformation routinely disseminated by a UMNO-BN broadside machine.
Any fragment of law about Faizuls purported genocide was rught away shot to pieces by a fusillade of a kind of rubbish for which Bernama is notorious in a role of good-news group for a UMNO-BN regime.
Faizuls physique was hardly cold prior to his earlier employers were quoting Prime Minister Najib Razaks typically fake as well as self-serving statement from Perth, Australia, which a cameraman was a loyal Malaysian favourite who embodies our role to assistance wherever assistance is needed.
In fact, as courageous a man as he may well have been, Faizul was not a Malaysian hero, yet a 1Malaysia hero; a single of a broken bodies as well as mislaid lives with which Najib not prolonged ago notoriously spoken which UMNO-BN must urge Putrajaya.
And this was obviously not a genuine Malaysian aid mission to support a stricken people of Somalia,
yet a Kel! ab Puter a 1Malaysia broadside attempt written to assistance invest a cruel as well as uncaring! UMNO-BN system of administration with a spurious humanitarian image.
In fact, a Kelab Putera 1Malaysia tour of Mogadishu was every bit as fraudulent as a knee physiotherapy alibi upon which Najib absented himself from home upon Merdeka Day to go tripping off upon holiday to Perth.
Theres no denying which he did cut this poser outing short, however, to be upon palm to support Bernama in a efforts during damage-control upon a arrival of a dead cameramans physique back in Malaysia.
Let us not play a censure diversion now, I think which is a very cruel thing to do, he said, prior to firing-off a fusillade of remarks intended to soothe his system of administration of any fragment of responsibility for Faizuls deadly shooting.
And then Najib attempted to excuse a failure to adequately strengthen a plant as well as a procession in which he was roving with comments similar to a confidence arrangements provided were sufficient; even if you wear a bullet-proof vest, there is no guarantee; as well as when most weapons are in a hands of unsuited men, there is danger.
Najib shot himself in a foot with a final of these remarks, which only served to remind most of us of a risk which Malaysians so evidently face as a outcome of most weapons being in a hands of UMNO-BNs criminally unsuited military force.
And his reference to a subject of bullet-proof vests set a lot of people wondering how most of them could have been purchased for a price of just a single of his wifes collection of heavy-duty Herms Birkin bags.
But a line which gave a ultimate lie to Najibs caring call to avoid a censure diversion as well as not to be cruel in a face of Noramfaizul Mohd Nors unfortunate passing was what Bernama described as his remark which even international journalists get killed. If you dont want to be a journalist, stay during home.
Arrogant master-stupid slave
The perfect tastelessness of this comment, as well as a fact which Bernama saw a need to slavishly allude to it, to me speaks volumes about a ar! rogant m aster-stupid slave relationship which prevails in between a Puteras as well as a UMNO-BN mainstream media, as well as their total contempt for a Malaysian people.
There was additionally a clear lack of conformity in Bernama reports upon a sharpened itself, as a headlines group quoted Najib as claiming which they were strike by wandering shots which were not directed during our convoy, yet additionally citing an purported eye-witness identified only as Halima as telling a New York Times which an African Union lorry came after a automobile as well as started firing.
Bernama additionally tells us that, notwithstanding his wandering shots story, Najib maintains which Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmad has betrothed to investigate a incident as well as yield him with a full report.
Lets hope which a outcome of Sheikh Ahmads investigations turns out to be some-more convincing than a customary sudden genocide or neither homicide nor self-murder verdicts upon a cause of deaths of victims of a UMNO-BN regimes murderous law-enforcement agencies.
Meanwhile, though, Bernama is operative overtime to exonerate a UMNO-BN masters of any probable blame, quoting a conduct of a Somali mission, Dr Alwi Abdul Rahman, as denying which a bullet-proof vest would have saved a hold up of Noramfaizal Mohd Nor, as a bullet fired was of very tall calibre.
Call me overly cynical, yet this sounds far as well much similar to typical Bernama-style UMNO-BN apologetics to be true.
Totally altered as well as combined things never said
As does another inform in which Foreign Minister Anifah Aman is quoted as claiming which a Malaysian Ambassador to Libya, Zulkifli Yaacob, had trafficked to Somalia to make confidence arrangements in advance of ! a Kelab Putera 1Malaysia groups visit.
And lest you suppose which Im out of order in claiming ! which Bernama is able of making up a headlines as it goes along, take a demeanour during a complaint by a tyro which he as well as colleagues were misquoted in a recent feel-good anticipation entitled Najib debate inspirational, say students in Perth.
The student, who requested anonymity because he is a supervision scholar, told Malaysiakini which Bernama totally altered as well as combined things which you never said. And a whole thing was done prior to a debate as well as not after.
In short, as Ive been saying for years, if you hold Bernama youll hold anything. And even when this cowardly apology for a headlines group practice a singular impulse of truth, as in a genocide of Noramfaizul Mohd Nor, it continues to devote itself to a systematic, impersonal murdering of a hold up as well as essence of journalism: a truth.

Sanpping at the one who fired the shot?
It is the tragedy when meaningless assault lead to unnecessary death. This is the box of those polite or rather genealogical wars which have been happening in countries such as Somalia where leaders focussed upon removing energy by all equates to have been peaceful to kill their own people.
The genocide of the Bernama's TV reporter the late Noramfaizul was unequivocally unnecessary given if there wasn't the need for local leaders to slaughter any alternative for power, there would not be any need for universe media's courtesy there.
What is it which those warlords presumably Muslims or Christians perplexing to be in control have been peaceful to fleece their country. It's similar to those comic villans who sought to fall short the whole universe with vulgar drop in their quest to be ruler of the world. Even if they nuke it 10 times over to clean out opposition, these megalomaniac leaders have been happy to rule over the radioactive, passed soil!
While you have been sad as great as share the tears as great as sorrow with the family of the la Noramfaizul, we contingency also ask ourselves, is it value to give assist to nations whose leaders have been focussed upon murdering any alternative for years upon end as great as afterwards let general reporters in to movie footage of gauntness as great as inspired young kids which lead to millions of dollars of assist pouring in to the fight torn nation?
Some questioned the role of general agencies generally assist agencies in fight torn nations in Africa similar to in Somalia as great as Yemen. What became of the inspired gauntness child which appeared upon TV which changed millions in horse opera nations to donate millions to prevent the human catastrophic in fight torn areas?? Has which child grown up to be the child infantryman or an adult brandishing AK47 as great as what not, move miseries to the subsequent generation of yo! ung kids who have been trapped in the infamous cycle of assault as great as the nauseous consequences of fight upon trusting lives?
What have those millions of dollars as great as euros lifted by Bob Geldof as great as oth! er agenc ies brought to the nations the assist was channelled to? Did the person who killed trusting civilians as great as reporters was once the gauntness child grown up to be the child soldier, right away an adult wielding an AK47 shooting during reporters as great as murdering their own people as great as in the routine creation millions of young kids gauntness in the process?
Are you transfer income to nations which have been in incessant fight as great as not doing anything to get out of the cycle of drop as great as misery as great as hunger upon their people? Seriously have been you feeding the malnutritious child for him or her to grow up to be the murdering appurtenance or human bomb?
Those polite fight leaders have been able to kill any alternative simply given they have been removing assist as great as support to buy weapons as great as keep gauntness people alive for them to kill you can supposed. It seems some-more than USD1 trillion of assist has been poured in Africa as great as the little critics even, the British themselves have questions if they have uplifted the lives as great as grace of the people as great as nation.
Some argue given Geldof's Live Aid 26 years ago, hold upon which 13 July 1985 which mesmerised the world, the population of reception assist has increased, the fighting hasn't stopped, banana republics go upon to sprout, dictators transposed by even some-more infamous tyrant as great as those which achieved the little sense of assent as great as democracy have been still vagrant for aid!
And the fight as great as killings have not decrease, though some-more drawn out as great as some-more destructive. These nations, generally Ethopia, Yemen as! great a s Somalia have been dangerous zones. Destroyed land as great as terrain, poor, their people in starvation, nonetheless those warlords can means millions of dollars to buy arms! Who is supporting them as great as where have been the removing the income to buy these murdering machines?
One wonders if it's not cheaper to use the donations to explosve away all those who lift weapons to kill any alternative as great as cause vulgar drop as great as miseries to millions of their people than to flow in assist t! o help c ivilians as great as in the routine assist workers, volunteers mostly have been killed as great as even kindnapped for release money?
And what role is general media stating live upon who is winning or losing or who is slaughtering whom, display those gauntness kids as great as destroyed homes as great as murdered victims, when all you do is only watch it upon the tube. And afterwards dig in to the pockets to give to feed the hungry, yield proxy shelter to homeless as great as even food assist being channelled to soldiers to go upon murdering than for the intented victims?
How prolonged given Geldof's Worldwide interest for assist have the nations which perceived such assist did something to improve their lives? Tells the lot about the attitude of the supervision as great as the people reception the assist of not creation their own efforts to even do something to safeguard their destiny generations do not suffer the difficulty the stream generation is facing!
On the genocide of the journalist, right away you have been hearing from the people which he is the volunteer as great as the people do not wear any protecting rigging similar to bulletproof vest given they have been heavily rhythmical by supervision soldiers. Huh, heavily guarded? Isn't which an understatement when all it takes is the space station launcher or roadside landmine to fall short convoys!! Not which any protecting rigging will help in such instance! s.
But because have been you not giving them word coverage or if noone wants to give them word coverage, the headlines agency should during slightest outlay upon giving them bulletproof vest. The horse opera reporters you see upon BBC, CNN or alJazeera wear such vests when they have been stating live from the front!!!
It's as great late to speculate right away as great as it is similarly disgusting to have those ostensible to take obliged as great as say sorry to give forgive which even protecting wear doesn't help. If which is the case, because have been you courting danger as great as perplexing to be as great smart meditative only given you fly the dwindle with the 1Malaysia these thugs know you as great as consider you have been the little ! saint an d highly reputable country as great as judgment they have been starting to lay the red runner for you to movie your assist to the suffering people these thugs create?
And the jalur gemilang looks only similar to the US of A dwindle to be mistaken. Even with sophisticated record soldiers die from 'friendly fire!'
1Malaysia asks us not to fool around the blame game as great as try as great as politicised the death. The really actuality you use your 1this as great as which to guy what you have been doing, is already the subject symbol if the free action is unequivocally for the free cause or only to request the gift work with income donated from the public as great as afterwards do the shioksendiri publicity documentary to uncover the public your celebration is unequivocally the 1CSR party, no?
Of course, those who go there know the risks. And when tragedy happens, have been you asking governments to outlay energy as great as time to examine who dismissed the shot which killed jack rabbit? Don't you consider underneath compulsion as great as fight similar to conditions these people have zillion over priorities to take care o! f? Even in presumably peaceful, modern, grown as great as holy BolehLand, royal commissions as great as committees have been receiving ages to find the culprit or do not even wish to have the preference as great as upon the alternative scale authorities do not consider it any use to examine sure incidents which the public have been asking questions, because was the sure Mongolian young woman C4-ed?
So it would be great to find out who killed the journalist. If it's the enemy, what have been you starting to do, stop aid, or send the Scorpien to explosve them to smithereens? What great does it do really?
We contingency seriously ask ourselves because you need to be in the fight zone similar to you have been an internationally sought after headlines agency similar to al Jazeera or CNN or BCC, which the universe will tune in to listen to the views of how things have been during belligerent zero? Or have been you being kiasu the income is not starting to where it is intended? Or there is the domestic agen! da you kn ow as great great what the result is if such the tragedy didn't happen.
Of march it is great to get the publisher exposed though you hope if they dare to inform upon the ills as great as woes of the unfamiliar land, would it not be improved if they can be as braved behind home to inform the truth as great as vessel their camera onto the alternative side of the domestic order to see how the alternative side sees the alternative side huh?
So, who should you snap during which killed the journalist? The organisers who do not wish to lay blame or have apologised? The soldiers escort? The enemies? Those obliged for formulating such incident which assist is needed? Or those perplexing to have domestic mileage of the donation if the tragedy didn't happened or those using the tragedy to benefit domestic mileage?
The subsequent time! you hav e been caught in an additional call of tellurian magnetism as great as interest for victims of war, the very hungry nearby genocide trusting child in Africa is repeatedly shown upon the tube, will you hesitate to dig in to the pockets to give? The answer lies inside of any individual's conscience. Of course, the warlords welcome such aid, it ensures they will have the little bodies to rule over as great as exploit when they come to power. They don't see very hungry kids as their opponents. They probably wait for assist agencies to feed the very hungry kids to turn healthy sufficient as great as turn the child in to the fight appurtenance as great as begin the infamous cycle.
And in the process, unfamiliar assist workers get killed, kidnapped, injured, together with journalists.

Political Jester Mat Sabus insensitive remarks upon Bukit Kepong
by Tunku A. Aziz*
MOHAMAD Sabu, or Mat Sabu, is always good for a laugh as well as we must contend we find his speeches upon a hustings delightfully shallow.
You might contend that he is entitled to his opinion as well as we agree. However, when facts have been twisted, so much so that they limit upon lies, he constantly invites, as well as deservedly so, innuendos as well as strictures.
It is in his interpretation of a attack by 180 communists of a 4th Independent Company of a Malayan Races Liberation Army upon a remote military hire during Bukit Kepong upon Feb 23, 1950 that Mohamad has succeeded in serve reducing himself to a sad figure of fun as well as ridicule.
He is, to a discerning, no some-more that a domestic jester, a single of a most that a complement has thrown up in all of a domestic parties. we contend this some-more in sorrow than anger.He has resorted to spinning his tangled yarn in a treasonable approach as he tries to worm as well as wriggle his approach out of a preposterous, cruel as well as insensitive avowal that a terrorists who mounted that dishonourable attack upon a lonely armed forces during Bukit Kepong in Johor were a real autonomy fighters.
He said he did not make use of a word communists to describe a attackers. The actuality is they were communists. we concur his right to his opinion, but when Mohamad is who he is in a Pas hierarchy and, therefore, a personality of Pakatan Rakyat, a bloc right away posturing itself as impatiently watchful in a wings to run a country, afterwards he cannot verbalise as a jester. He is no longer amusing.
There is right away an added! dimensi on to his domestic life. The people have a right to examine him some-more closely for signs of impression def! ects. He has to reconsider his assessment of events in a some-more honest, scrupulous as well as obliged way.
These Brave Malay Men were not British Agents, Mat Sabu
Unlike Mohamad, we proportion a jingoist leisure fighter, whatever his politics, with chivalry. According to a single of a communists, Ching Moit Chai, (see Gallant Last Stand during Bukit Kepong by Datuk J.J. Raj Jr, Brian Stewarts Smashing Terrorism in a Malayan Emergency as well as J.W.J Morans Spearhead in Malaya), there was complicated resistance by a twenty Malay policemen opposite some 180 to 200 terrorists.
Chings leader, a Malay terrorist, became desirous as well as ordered them to attack a living quarters, a weakest spot in a compound. As a make a difference of interest, Ching was tempted to obey later, as was a box with hundreds of other leisure fighters, by a awaiting of getting his murderous hands upon a prerogative income being offering by a government.
One of a policemens wives attempted to run to a hire but my comrades held her. They asked her to travel to a hire as well as ask a group to surrender. She refused as well as she told my comrades that there were usually dual people left alive in a tied together quarters, a policemans mother as well as daughter. My comrades shot her as well as called upon a a single in a buliding to surrender. She refused as well a! s announ ced that both she as well as her daughter elite to die. So my comrades set fire to a quarters. Then they threw a physique of a other mother into a blazing building.
Could a equates to just! ify a end? we consternation either Mohamad has a dignified bravery as well as firmness to simulate dispassionately upon this, a height of bestiality as well as timidity by people whom he had sought to enhance as a true heroes of Merdeka.
The communists were aliens to a male as well as due no loyalty solely to China. They fought a British with a solitary purpose of branch Malaya into a Chinese communist state, a heavenly body of a Communist Party of China. The Malays in their thousands volunteered their use not, as Mat Sabu implied, to strengthen British interests in Malaya but, in team-work with a colonial power, to defend a usually nation they ever knew as well as their religion opposite a irreverent alien ideology.
I am in risk of being accused of racism, but we am articulate of events in a opposite era. In this struggle to better communism in Malaya, there were most officers as well as group of non-Malay start who fought with good gallantry.
Some of a names that come to mind have been Tan Sri Yuen Yuet Leng, Datuk J.J. Raj Jr, Datu Tagore, Goh Chin Hee (once a clergyman during Klang High School), Leong Chee Woh as well as Tan Tiew Siew, my classmate during Klang High School. He as well as Datu both won a George medal, a municipal homogeneous of a Victoria Cross. They were a real heroes together with tens of thousands of other constant group as well as women of all races.
I come from a military family as well as am proud of a vital contributions of a police, afterwards as well as now, to a peace as well as confidence of a nation.

Sime Darby - E&O: What's the REAL deal?
But not anymore: in just the integrate of weeks, E&O has turned into the hottest corporate story, interjection in large partial to the impasse of firm Sime Darby. Unfortunately, the lot of the talk has the negative air to them; including murmurings of the abuse of position, insider trade as well as conflicts of interest in the deal. And that's not counting the business aspects of the understanding yet, for many analysts subject the rationale behind Sime Darby's ultimate foray into the merger as well as merger (M&A) game.
To recap, it all proposed when both E&O as well as Sime Darby announced on August 29 which the latter - which is the third greatest company in Bursa Malaysia in conditions of marketplace capitalisation - would be acquiring the thirty percent interest in the company. The vendors of the block of E&O shares have been the handling director as well as first member, Datuk Tham Ka Hon, Tan Sri Wan Azmi Hamzah who was formerly of Land as well as General celebrity as well as Singapore-listed GK Goh Holdings. The concluded cost is during RM2.30 per share as well as the understanding is to be finished this Friday.
The marketplace cost prior to ! to the p roclamation was RM1.45. See the widget below for the ultimate price.
A lot of questions have been being asked about th! e understanding the nd the personalities involved. The Another Brick in the Wallblog, which is confirmed by the blogger who wished to be identified usually as "A Voice", lifted the little of them in the post of SDarby squeeze in E&O: Strange buy as well as controversial figure:
- *Why did Sime Darby - the some-more determined player in property development - forgoing government control when it has become the greatest shareholder... as well as having paid the premium during that?
- *According to shareholder changes filed with Bursa Malaysia, estimable shareholder GK Goh Holdings Limited had bought 1.25 million E&O shares while the latter's chairman, Datuk Azizan Abdul Rahman acquired 100,000 shares just prior to to the proclamation of the Sime Darby acquisition. "Is which legal, or some-more precisely ethical, for the company's chairman - who is also the husband to the Securities Commission (SC), Tan Sri Zarinah Anwar - to buy prior to the major corporate announcement?"
(LATEST: From The Star - "SC scrutinising Sime's squeeze of E&O stake")
Another critic of the understanding as well as the personalities as well as resources surrounding is the blogger "Big Dog". In his post of Smelling the rat, Big Dog said the Securities Commission "should be seeking into this probable insider trade since ECM Libra already got the balan! ce in the couple of months ago."
However, he combined that, "then again if the understanding is about the impasse of ECM Libra, it is puzzled which SC underneath Zarinah would essentially do anything. Selective prosecutio! n had al ways been the SC use underneath her. For the record, in her first month in SC she sealed the single eye as well as authorised the trashy understanding of ECM Libra taking over Avenue Capital which concerned afterwards Prime-Ministers-son-in-law Khairy Jamamuddin five as well as the half years ago."
There is the lot some-more to this than merely the normal, straight-forward business transaction where, in the pierce to expand further, the internal hulk buys into the smaller company to synergise. Since it involves the Government-Linked Company (GLC), public income is involved. And which means OUR money. Stay tuned for more.

Mat Indera & Mat Silam
A discuss is distracted between Umno as well as PAS politicians upon a purpose of Mat Indera. Was Mat Indera a favourite or a ruffian?
Mat Indera played a prominent purpose in a 1950 conflict upon a Bukit Kepong military station. The situation was in a destiny immortalised in a movie played by a legendary P Ramlee. In a movie, a policemen were portrayed as heroes who fought against a communists.
Mat Indera was allegedly a comrade cadre. A book by a Johor government in 2004 names insurgent Mat Indera as a leisure warrior as well as lists him as a celebrated Johor hero.
Who really is Mat Indera? Apparently, both Umno as well as PAS want a discuss upon this issue.
Both parties idolise Mat Silam (historical past) some-more than what's stream as well as urgent. It is a actuality which politicians as well as their incapacity to move brazen as well as take a society by a quantum leap have been to be blamed for a lack of vision, vigour as well as great ideas in a country.
Both PAS as well as Umno should start a some-more touching discuss as well as discourse upon what form as well as shade a nation should take in a next three to 5 years. How can Malaysia recapture a lustre?
I am certain politicians in this nation should be delighted by keeping wordless upon an allegation done by an Indonesian envoy which Malaysia has lost a lustre.
Both Khairy Jamaluddin as well as Mat Sabu should put their talents to make use of by debating upon a most appropriate ideas as well as solutions to residence a country's mercantile woes as well as a fading competitiveness.
It is formidable to accept which politicians have been so keen to discuss a past though allow a destiny to slip divided from a grasp.
Contentious issues which refuse to go away
Most of a contentious issues which refused to go away, such as race supremacy, simple constitutional leisure as well as nationhood, have been directly caused by a warding off of a politicians to accept a steady change as ! well as expansion of a society.
There is small warn because some racial communities have been still being deliberate as migrants - after being here for some-more than ! 500 year s.
The social lenses they used to view interracial relations, nation-building, fundamental rights as well as governance have been causing stagnation as well as a lack of citation in a country. Malaysia is a nation but a soul.
Our socio-economic swell as well as growth have been formed upon raw natural resources as well as not by a synergy of skills, ideas, determination as well as certain humanistic values. This sort of growth has a limitation because natural resources have been finite though human suggestion is not.
A lack of appreciation for humanistic grant is evident in a domestic discourse as well as debate. We discuss over who should have some-more birthrights than others, which is budding justification of total negligence for diversity as well as humanistic contribution.
It is sad to note which alternative countries which had a same destructive tendencies as well as practices have changed brazen as well as embraced diversity as well as values underneath a skin.
At a rate a politicians have been starting about in conducting their business-as-usual faade as well as a actuality which a people acquit this behaviour, you can rest assured which some-more soothing as well as unsubstantial resources have been starting to upsurge out of this country.
These resources might not find their reward as well as worthiness in this nation though they have been being rarely sought after by a neighbours, together with Singapore as well as Australia.
Our politicians' emplacement over Mat Indera as well as Mat Silam is to safeguard which you continue to live in a bubble, divided from though not protected from reality as well as a destiny hurdles which await us.
