Jho Low: Rosmahs my friend not my godmother
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept twenty-eight Businessman Low Taek Jho, whose tighten ties with the prime minister's mother has raised eyebrows, described Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor as his good crony as well as rubbished suggestions she is his godmother.
"Rosmah (picture) is not my godmother. She is my good friend," the Penang-born billionaire was reported as saying by headlines portal Merdeka Review yesterday.
The bilingual headlines site had plucked the story from Chinese-language every day Kwong Wah Yit Poh who interviewed Low during last Sunday's cycling event attended by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak during his weekend trip to Penang.
Better known as Jho Low, the high-flier important for partying with Hollywood superstars related which he befriended the prime minister's son while study in Britain as well as soon became tighten to the family.
He additionally said he had introduced many investors to Malaysia.
At age 20, Low had set up, with schoolmates from the Middle East, an investment fund called The Wynton Group, valued during US$ 1 billion (RM3.2 billion).
Now 29, Low had been involved in the set up of the Terengganu Investment Authority (TIA) which was in the future "federalised" to become the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), the government-linked association which not long ago won the RM500 million contract to redevelop the aged Sungai Besi airport in the capital city.
The Raya that was
SEPT twenty-eight It started with my seeing from afar, a crony of my mother's, with a bag of multilevel offered products, during a embankment of a couple house.
MLM marketers have been not an uncommon sight, but seeing a woman, tighten to her 70s, offered supplements, was a differing sight. One could say which she was a pitch of industry, for even during her age, she was still active as well as working. Didn't work wand off Alzheimer's? But a indicate is precisely this: during her age, shouldn't she be lazy as well as enjoying a fruits of her labour?
What a sombre Raya. we see a little friends of my relatives as well as comparison relatives, not only depending upon their children's charity, but having to do tiny businesses, offered this as well as that. Quite a series have quiescent themselves to a actuality which they will die in debt, notwithstanding insurance. Old age, as well as health woes have been their constant worry, as well as miss of money is their bedside companion.
The categorical question during a couple of open houses we attended was this: Are we Malaysians destined to only survive financially? And which to consequence an income more than RM8,000 a month would meant which there would be no work-life balance?
When we strike your 40s, all this comes to a forefront, as well as we wonder, as we comply a wealthy as well as beautiful young, as well as rich, whom a crony calls The Concession Generation... we consternation if we as well as your friends will have which comfortable hold up or finish up in your 60s trying to sell madu tualang to your neighbours.
My friends as well as we we come from each race as well as mercantile class consternation if a efforts have been enough. It's never enough. There's a child to feed, a primogenitor to care for as well as yourself to dress as well as feed. Living in KL as well as Malaysia is not about entertainment wealth. It is about surviving. Sustenance. Perhaps we might not even be comfortable in a aged age. Wh! o's to k now?
Friends in a media have opted for a public family route, as well as let their lives sap divided as they bake by even more hours meeting deadlines as well as traffic with a single predicament after another. Some have joined a corporate world, but in private, shake up their heads during a ethics.
For us women, no matter how educated we are, how tall we rise, in a end, a little of us take which simpler route: By dating well off men, who often than not, have been married. But can we censure them? Judge them?
Kuala Lumpur can be such a cruel place to be in. It is not your ethics as well as ethics which will take we places. It is your connections, your status, your energy as well as if we have it, beauty. When we have all that, we can do whatever we want, to a indicate of destroying others, but we have been forgiven, since which is how it is here.
Hard work? Don't be stupid. It doesn't get we anywhere. It is during times identical to this which we question ourselves. Are a ethics only too antiquated? After all, there seems to be no karma for a ones who erred. They're a ones who will lead a comfortable life. Not identical to us, who will toil to a deaths.
Ramadan has been a truly engaging month. A crony who has worked so tough to attain a little she had, lost everything except her looks. A great girl, as we say. Faced with a family to support, she asked me what we thought of her becoming a chick upon a side to a wealthy man.
When we was in my 20s, we would have cut her off from my life. we am right divided in my 40s as well as have seen enough.
"Whatever we decide, don't discuss it me. You're a big lady now," we said. we am not god. Who was we to judge, when if fate might fool around a joke upon me as well as we might face identical circumstances?
Well-meaning friends discuss it friends as well as me this.
You got to learn to position yourself, fool around a game. You can't consider of a other person's family; your family comes first. K! ill.
You have a little face, coquette je lah. Apa susah? Bukan we tidur dengan dia pun.
Late during night, a Blackberries ping messages. We discuss a work, debts, savings, everything. A crony texted to say he prayed so hard, his front was removing black. He didn't consider his prayers would be heard in Malaysia.
"Kita cakap je Malaysia ni negara Islam, tapi tengok lah! Aku tak minum, aku tak zina, aku kerja keras. Tapi aku bodoh, tak reti office politik. Sebab tu aku berhutang, jaga family aku."
Ethics. Most of us walk divided from what is not right. But is it to a personal detriment?

Bumi quotas to go eventually, says Najib
By Clara Chooi
The Malaysian Insider
Sep 27, 2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept twenty-seven Datuk Seri Najib Razak voiced today a need to eventually do away with Bumiputera quotas though pronounced a supervision contingency go upon to support a community's best bent to ensure a some-more rival commercial operation environment.
The prime apportion forked out which a New Economic Model (NEM) promotes certain movement formed some-more upon meritocracy, observant "we contingency foster a right Bumiputera".
He pronounced charity quotas would foster complacency, hamper mercantile growth as well as bury Bumiputera talent.
"What you have done in a past is you have not promoted a right kind of people.
"We wish to do away from (with) quotas though you contingency support them (Bumiputera entrepreneurs) in a approach which would concede them to grow," he told a Khazanah Megatrends Forum 2011 here this evening.
"If you give them quotas, what will occur is which they will rest upon their laurels as well as eventually, they will not gain expertise," he added.
Najib pronounced a 30 per cent Bumiputera equity target "does not mean anything", particularly if entrepreneurs decide to sell off their shares when prices soar, leaving small in a hands of a Bumiputeras.
He pronounced a supervision was now relocating upon a different footing by looking "good, tested as well as dedicated" Bumiputeras as well as ancillary them in a demeanour which could help them become some-more competitive.

"That is a brand brand new approach to create a brand brand new cl! ass of B umiputeras who are some-more resilient as well as can attain in a long run," he said.
Critics have indicted Najib of diluting his NEM by creating agencies like Teraju as well as unwell to focus upon needs as well as merit-based certain movement policies though supervision officials pronounced a pierce was required as Bumiputera equity in a manage to buy remained low despite a billions doled out since a New Economic Policy (NEP) began in 1971.
In his debate earlier, Najib also voiced a need for a supervision to remove "rigidities inside of a system" in order to create a some-more resilient economy.
"We know which people do not start in a same place you know which everybody is not equally endowed you know too which there will be winners as well as losers when things shift as well as of march you worry about those who merit benefit some-more than those who could simply get by with less," he said.
"Equally, you wish to see winners who find their lives as well as a lives of their family groups transformed rsther than than simply enriching those who already have too much," he added.

Can Sarawak have an army?
My perspective upon Kelantan's hudud law is only a same similar to cave upon a hypothetical Sarawak army.
Sarawakians have good soldiers. The Royal Ranger Regiment even uses Iban soldier Rentap's important line "Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban" (fight whilst we live) as a motto. So, what if a little Sarawakian politicians feel! similar to ha ving their own army, say, to defend (Sarawak's) a wealth from being plundered?
If they hold a referendum, as well as a suit "Sarawak should have a own army" gets passed with 90 percent support, can they then have an army?
Forget for a impulse which a constitution as well as laws do not yield for referendum as well as as a result whatever outcome from a referendum can only be morally, not legally, binding.
The subject is not whether a state carrying a own armed forces is a good thing. The first subject is: can a state do so?
! For Mala ysia, a answer lies in a Ninth Schedule of a Federal Constitution, which divides a pursuit scope of a sovereign as well as state governments in to three parts: Federal List, State List as well as Concurrent List.
An American state governor can authority a state National Guard to respond to made during home emergencies though a Malaysian arch apportion will have no energy during all to authority any security force.
"Defence of a federation or any part therefore" as well as "internal security" which will cover troops as well as police respectively have been equipment 2 as well as 3 upon a Federal List.
So, what does a Sarawakian statesman do if she/he wants to guarantee his/her electorate about removing Sarawak a own army?
To have his/her guarantee credible, she/he will! have to ensure which a sovereign supervision possibly this or a subsequent one will await an legislative addition to a Ninth Schedule to move "defence" from a Federal List to a Concurrent List.
Running a referendum without carrying a Ninth Schedule amended will lead Sarawak in to a domestic crisis.
Building a Sarawak army, if a suit gets carried, will land Sarawak rught away in to a constitutional crisis. On a alternative hand, not office building an armed forces when a suit gets carried will risk critical domestic unrest given a enthusiastic electorate will feel cheated.
Horse trading
So, we want to build a Sarawak armed forces to greatfully your voters? Let's start articulate about legislative addition to a Ninth Schedule. The sovereign government, won't agree?
You can speak to politicians in alternative states so which a little horse-trading might be achieved: maybe Johor wants to have preparation underneath a Concurrent List or a State List so which it does not have to change a preparation policy every time a Education Ministry changes a language of middle again.
Maybe, Penang which wants a larger share in healthcare tourism will be happy to await Sarawak carrying an armed forces if we await to change healthcare from a Federal List to a Concurrent List.
You never know; Sabah might await we as well in sell for we supporting to have citizenship a concurrent item so which they can flog out all a Mahathirite "instant-Sabahans".
What will occur to a constitution if politicians do all sorts of horse-trading to re-negotiate upon a multiplication of energy between a federation as well as a states?
It might spin out to be a mess though it might additionally spin out to be a better deal. Will any state supervision contend which they ! have eno ugh income vis--vis a sovereign government?
The Ninth Schedule is not expel in stone. Why can't it be amended? Why can't a states negotiate for a better deal?
So, we can propose t! o have " defence" a concurrent item so which we can have your Sarawak army. But we guys will need to present your "New Federal Deal" to a national electorate in a entrance elections prior to we can lift out your fancy devise of carrying an army.
So, will we as a voter conflict Sarawak carrying an army? No, not during all. we should be fair to we as well as Sarawak. we will listen to we out. Would we now discuss it me which indication of provincial armed forces we have been considering? Is it ala America's national guard? Or a Bosnian model? Or a Burmese model?
Persuasive arguments needed
Yes, a devil is in a details. How should we await or conflict a idea of a Sarawak armed forces prior to meaningful your concrete plan?
Why should your devise concern me when we am not even a Sarawakian? Why can't we only let Sarawakians decide whether or not to have an army?
Because we am a Malaysian as well as what occur in your state will affect me too. You can persuade me to await your Sarawak armed forces though we cannot ask me to stay out or shut up as if it does not concern me.
For now, let me be upon your side: Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban!
Tell me a detailed plans of your Sarawak armed forces as well as a "new sovereign deal' (Ninth Schedule 2.0?) prior to we go ahead with your referendum.
My perspective upon Kelantan's hudud law is only a same similar to cave upon a hypothetical Sarawak army.
D! on't e xpect me to stay out similar to an alien given we am not. Everything happening in this nation is my commercial operation given we am a Malaysian.
But we am happy to be persuaded to await it upon merit. Which nation have been we modelling? Indonesia (Aceh)? Nigeria? Sudan? Saudi Arabia? And where is your due legislative addition to a Ninth Schedule given rapist law is item No 4 upon a Federal List?

Malaysians Must Know a TRUTHRosmah, a pinch of salt on an open wound
Malaysia's First Lady Rosmah Mansor is at a back of in a news. And this time, her decorated image is removing a typical Malaysian workers all hot under a collar. While they sweat, she sings. While they toil, she travels. And when a check comes, they pay!
"It feels like a splash of salt upon an open wound," said Youth NGO Solidariti Anak Muda Malaysia or SAMM during a recent National Congregation which brought in scores of coordinators from all over a country.
Indeed, a 60-year-old mother of Prime Minister Najib Razak will have to do some-more to remonstrate a people which she is not a money-spending machine. Whether her husband retains carry out of a country or not after a subsequent general election, his administration will be remembered for a outrageous as well as dear fiascos which somehow have an supernatural habit of backfiring.
"Nobody wishes her ill though it is tough to see her becoming different her habits. So for me, we do not think she will be good remembered, as well as it is a empathize since she could have finished so most since her position," PKR Women's arch Zuraida Kamaruddin told Malaysia Chronicle.
"But now, whe! n we me ntion Rosmah, people will giggle as well as answer, 'Oh cincin twenty-four juta or handbeg bernilai 1 million. To me, that's not a bequest as well as till now, we have been still waiting for a PM's bureau to reply to our request for details of their spending trips to Kazakhstan, a Middle East as well as Europe."
The PKR personality was referring to a outrageous RM24million diamong ring which Rosmah purportedly systematic from New York jeweller Jacob & Co. She is additionally k! nown for her outrageous collect up of handbags, which in total have been believed to price some-more than a million ringgit.
Najib additionally to blame
And to be fair, Najib's own misjudgement have been to blame, not only his wife's.
As far as a people have been concerned, a fool is he who trusts blindly in his advisers. In a last few weeks, a group of domestic strategists together with members of a group at a back of Tony Blair's "New Labour" began operative to reinvigorate Najib's 1Malaysia platform. But 1Malaysia flopped not since of a miss of advertising, though since of a miss of real follow-through execution.
Apart from a British group led by a Mr Alastair, Najib is still seeking advice from Paul Stadlen, a former boss of APCO Malaysia, whose contract was renewed despite protests which a parent firm in New York was tranquil by comparison managers, who were former high-level officers in a Israeli secret service.
But at a back of a UK as well as US/Israel groups is believed to be Omar Mustapha, a executive in a inhabitant oil firm Petronas. Disliked by Mahathir, Omar's entry in to Petronas was a baptism of fire with comparison staff openly protesting Najib's bid to container him upon a board.
But Najib persisted as well as Omar, a thirty-something Oxford-graduate who additionally runs his own Ethos financial services consultancy, has been overseeing Najib's media bearing since 2009, a year Najib took over from ex-premier Abdullah Badawi.
Najib's plan appears to be a devious one, regulating a Utusan Malay-language daily to discuss it a little of a most outrageously extremist statements as well as postulations ever seen in a country's 5-decades-old history.
Seasoned watchers contend this was to assure a Malay village which their domestic dominance would power supreme, whilst forcing a non-Mal! ays to l ook to Najib for fairplay. Whether this plan came from Najib himself, Omar, APCO as well as right away a British team, is tough to discuss it as well as it does not unequivocally matter. All of them would have failed.
Supreme Council: Explain hudud!
Despite spending outrageous amounts of open supports by a hundreds of millions, Najib's capitulation rating plunged 6 commission points in August. This is a freefall from a May level of 65 per cent.
Nonetheless, instead of staying his hand, Najib as well as his advisers have one after another to stir up ruckus after ruckus. And perhaps, a final nail in their coffin is the hudud law issue, which has deeply offended a Muslim as well as Malay communities.
Umno insiders have been whispering which Najib will be hauled up by a party's Supreme Council to explain his declaratation which hudud will never have a place in Malaysia. His domestic clumsiness is approaching to be compared unfavorably opposite his emissary Muhyiddin Yassin, who was alert sufficient to contend which Umno upheld hudud but could not exercise it now.
" "Umno leaders (in Kelantan)! cursed Najib for observant 'No' to hudud. Because of which statement, it simply means Umno can right away tighten shop in a state," said UIAM law professor Aziz Bari.
Failures which Malaysians have to compensate for
Sometimes, it pays to rest upon one's own commonsense, rather than to pin one's domestic hopes upon others, no make a difference how most fees they charged. No doubt, Najib does not have to collect up a bill, as well as leaves it to his countrymen who have been already struggling with inflation as well as hiked prices to pay.
But really, it does not meant which a som! e-more e xpensive it is, a better. Just as in a case of Rosmah's handbags ! as well as a gargantuan ring of fire - 'branded' stuff can bring difficulty of a own.

Was JWW Birch killed because he played with the women of the Palace?
The Mat Sabu-Bukit Kepong-Mat Indera saga went to a justice recently. Rest assured a justice will handle it. But for issues, where a nation's story is to be revisited as well as rewritten might require historians to serve study.
Bit by bit, there's some-more room for contention to take place. If there is such a thing as genuine as well as feign hadith, there is additionally genuine as well as feign history. The reality is presumably a nation was colonized or never being colonized by a British.
I was in Perak when a polemic exploded.
Lustful
According to one Perakian, who made me wonder since was JWW Birch killed upon a riverbank in Pasir Salak some-more than 200 years ago, it was not since he was meddling with a management as well as a administration department of a Perak Sultanate, though since he was connecting with a women of a palace.
! We have really limited report about a British seafarers who came with their wives when they initial arrived in Tanah Melayu, with regards to a Pangkor Agreement meeting where they met with prominent total in Perak.
There have been those came to stay for a little while since of work, though others came with their spouses. It is unclear, however, if a initial British Advisor to Perak came along with his wife.
Since these European group have been rsther than lustful, presumably they have wives or not, it would not be a warn if Birch himself was a womanizer. Therefore, it is not a! surpris e presuma! bly if a Sultans as well as their sons have concubines vital to one side with their maharanis somewhere.
Perhaps, it was usual for a women who live in a Palace to be concubines.
Birch who was a initial British Resident in Perak was seen as some-more absolute than a Sultans as well as his sidekicks. The British succeeded in removing a Sultan as well as replacing him with another. If Birch can overthrow a Sultan as well as reinstate him with a brand brand brand new Sultan, he will indeed be seen as some-more powerful.
From what a story has gathered, a attempted attempted murder of Birch was due to his impasse in a Sultan's domicile as well as administration, withdrawal usually a religious as well as informative nitty-gritty untouched.
This incident is obviously perplexing for a Sultans, whereby a foreigner can come to his land as well as steal his authority. If, for all this while, a Sultan had killed anyone who poses a threat to his leadership, it would not be startling afterwards which he might be a partial of a Birch murder.
A brand brand brand new perspective
But a story we heard in Perak gives me a brand brand brand new bargain which Birch came not usually to conquer or destroy a sovereignty of a Sultan as well as a people of Perak, though since of his bad perspective generally towards a women.
If which story is true, afterwards it was hard to suppose how a concubines could presumably shun his behaviour.
Since this is a perspective of many Europeans of which time, it's easy for me to assimilate since Birch was murdered although we was not there, nor can we prove it with 4 witnesses.
He not usually sparked a annoy of a Sultan as well as a ruler's right-hand men, though a ordinary people were additionally really upset.
For a Malays, such characters similar to which who appear now as w! ell as a fterwards deserved to be killed generally in a thinking of those vital during which period. So, how Birch was killed was itself not important, though which he deserved to be killed.
For a Malays during which time, there was no need for law as well as order. It was sufficient to know if someone is harassing a local woma! n as well as th e low mark was duly delivered.
It doesn't really matter if a Sultan disapproves or was sceptical of Birch's attitude, though for a Malays, it was a good insult to their pride, tradition as well as values. The ordinary people just could not afford to be humiliated similar to which even if it was a fault of a Sultan.
I am not a historian as well as we leave this story to a historian to interpret, presumably or not it is valid, a truth of a story will reach to a people shortly enough.

Najib, wife to argue against conspiracy theory
A source pronounced this will be a thrust of their argument when a Kuala Lumpur High Court hears their particular applications to set in reserve their subpoenae upon Thursday.

It is further accepted which Najib could tell a justice which he had not since directives or asked others to be accomplices in a assign being framed.
Najib as well as Rosmah may therefore disagree which a counterclaim application to call them as witnesses is an abuse of a justice process.

The subsequent ubiquitous choosing is only due in 2013 yet a recent handouts coupled with moves to reform an unpopular confidence law have fuelled talk that Najib is gearing up for early polls to pre-empt any serve fallout from a deteriorating mercantile outlook.

The 72-year-old conduct of a Malacca as well as Johor diocese would additionally cite if a alternative parties in Pakatan, namely DAP, work towards securing a identical guarantee as well.
The secularist DAP, that relies upon a await of a Chinese electorate, had regularly been opposed to PAS' prophesy of turning Malaysia into an Islamic state.
Tan pronounced while his core in front of would be to dissuade a Kelantan state government from implementing hudud, this however was not a realistic position, given that Muslims were obliged to await syariah law that encompassed hudud.
"I stand by my Catholic teaching that every individual contingency be giveaway to choose his/her eremite beliefs. Since we, Catholics, demand this right for ourselves, it would be false not to give a same human rights to others, here privately to Muslims," a bishop told FMT.

So prolonged as we do not cede a right to vote, we can make use of a ballot box, whenever ubiquitous elections have been held, to describe a verdict as a evidence unfolds upon a success or differently of this experience.

"Do we see Indonesian Christians happy with a state of things given a time belligerent Muslims, nonetheless a minority in that country, began to bearing themselves onto a national theatre fro! m a afte r part of Suharto's reign compartment now?" he asked.
Tan pronounced that he could go upon citing examples, though remarkable that it would not be beneficial in a Malaysian context.
"Here, upon a one hand, we have imposters using sacrament to hoard await and, upon a other, we have aspiring Muslims in Kelantan thinking that they can replicate a 'best of all communities written for man', that is what a Quranic scriptures contend about a communities in Mecca as well as Medina during ! a time when Islam's Prophet ruled," he added.
'Not meddlesome in Umno"
Referring to PAS spritual personality as well as Kelantan Menteri Besar Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, Tan additionally asked if he was approaching to contend "No" (oppose a implementation of hudud) to a menteri besar who next month accomplished twenty-one years during a helm "with not a pinch of crime hanging to his name".
"I contend it's improved for us to contend 'Go ahead, only give us cast-iron guarantees that it won! t be i mposed upon non-Muslims'. And then, we lay behind as well as see what happens," he said.
On whether Umno might be tempted to follow fit in an try to win over a await of Malay-Muslim voters, a bishop did not mince his words.
"Actually, I have ceased to caring what Umno is up to," he said.
"They have been a ones that have been customarily responsible for this huge necessity in Malaysian particularly Kelantanese Muslim idea that great physical governance can be obtained in this country.

Najib says to end Bumi quotas eventually but experts ask when is 'eventually'

Using Malay supremacy, or a probable detriment of it, to shock a Malays in to voting for it, Umno has succeeded in a dividing a races as good as regulating secular guess as good as distrust to stay in power. Critics have prolonged indicted a NEP of being a mere facade for crime many foul.
Meanwhile, supervision statistics show which 96.7 percent of Malaysians living next a misery line were Malays.

While they have make use of of a full force of a law together with starting overboard as well as in to tragic cases, bodies flying off their windows due to some misadventure, opposite small anchovies, there have been some of them who have been worst wolves as well as sharks stealing behind their pinned token to commit crime most foul!
No NGO protesting such hurtful practices, no leaked sex tapes to contaminate their great name, zero whatsoever protected a media who have been brave enough to inform of a purported theft!
It's odd, a SOP that they have make use of of upon innocent open intentional witness seem to be notably absent or rsther than not being mentioned. All we know that a box is still being investigated!

Najib is not a initial Umno boss to talk about stealing quotas or receiving divided a crutches from Bumiputeras.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as Tun Abdullah Badawi both mentioned this when they wanted to uncover Malaysians which they were enlightened leaders as well as when they were fishing for support from non-Malays prior to elections.
Needless to contend all their "good intentions" never materialised. Once they got a votes, they promptly forgot about receiving divided a quotas as well as instead fortified a distortions in a system.
Abdullah talked about open tenders but openly authorised Umno group as well as cronies to lift upon negotiating arrogant contracts. It is a same with Najib.
There is no such thing as open tenders today. In fact, it commercial operation as usual for well-connected businessmen as well as Umno warlords.
Anyone who reads headlines portals will know which a beneficiaries of most of a contracts are well-connected to Umno ministers or alternative leaders.
Heck, wasn't it usually weeks ago which Najib succumbed to Perkasa as well as gave a chunk of MRT contracts to Malay businessmen.
