We, who watched a headlines upon TV3 yesterday, saw a beaming confidant to Proton. He has all a reasons to smile. Last week he settled Khazanah is not in in front of to keep a shares in Proton. A few of us already knew his game. He was merely paving a approach for DRB HICOM to take those shares. We all know a finish diversion of Mahathir. He wants to be a Malaysian 'King' Croesus. Croesus was a mythological aristocrat in a country well known as Lydia in Middle East Minor. He was fabulously rich it's pronounced which gold from a mines as well as sands filled up his coffers.
Allow me to discuss it a reduced story about King Croesus. You can Google about it though you am retelling in my own style. you goal he will suffer a same fate as a strange King Croesus. When a Greek lawgiver Solon came to Lydia, Croesus displayed all his resources as well as asked Solon to name 3 individuals who Solon regarded as happiest. Solon named 3 unknown persons as well as Croesus was expectedly hurt as well as asked since he, with all his resources wasn't included in a 3. Solon answered how Croesus can be included as Croesus does not know what God has in store for him.
Shortly after a incident, Croesus consulted a Oracle of Delphi only as a Persian King Cirrus was embarking upon his sovereignty building. The seer told Croesus which if he goes to war with Cirrus, he will means a drop of an empire. Croesus went to war as well as was defeated by Cirrus. The sovereignty which was foretold was his own!
He is utilizing a commercial operation world, only as he is preparing a approach for Ibrahim Ali to get in to UMNO as well as competition in a next elections. It's an open secret which Perkasa is corroborated by Mahathir, saved by Syed Mokhtar. And Najib is you do Perkasa sheepishly.
How do you respond to that? We contingency get absolved of a celebration which declares is joining to religion, race as well as nation. It's nothing of which given 1988 when Mahathir kicked out a aged UMNO. This p! resent U MNO is only a pretender. The aged UMNO fought for means as well as placed finish certitude in a whole rakyat. The UMNO fake places a certitude in usually 3 million Malay members to a ostracism of a majority Malays. you have been Malay usually if have been UMNO Malay. It's a celebration by a members, from a members though for a selected as well as anointed few.
The aphorism for religion, race as well as republic is only a rhetoric steady mindlessly by UMNO members. It's only similar to a situation described by Franz Fanon in The Wretched Of The Earth- a downtrodden as well as marginalized peoples echo mindlessly a symbol of democracy- Parthenon, Parthenon until a reduced to only a barely audible..'thenon'. The significance of what a Parthenon represented is lost only as a slogan- 'for religion, race as well as nation' is reduced to a rhetoric as well as fiction.
The opening in between which novella as well as reality is removing bigger. But UMNO contingency urge a novella nonetheless since it represents standing quo. Status quo means a decadent reason up as UMNO care knows it. How can you give which divided as well as let it go? Mahathir as well as Najib right away wish to keep a standing quo even if it means offered a thought represented by now, usually a fiction. UMNO's beliefs is an beliefs of energy as well as energy contingency be defended since standing quo needs to be retained. Hence, you contingency urge Putrajaya during all price boomed Najib. All other interests have been subordinate to a party's interest.
When you asked a Oracle of Syed Putra, a change ego of Tun Daim Zainduin, since TDM is you do this, he wouldn't answer. So you remarked- is TDM still collecting? you remembered very most a most progressing remark by a Oracle which Khazanah during one time was ostensible to be a golden handshake to Mahathir. That was a reason since roughly all a equity in big companies is strong in Khazanah's hands. They were to be divested to in isolation companies! in line with a most prominent public-private sector partnership. It should be called collusion in between a domestic chosen as well as a commercial operation elite. You get therefore a plutocracy. If Mahathir cannot get Khazanah directly, he gets it indirectly through his commercial operation associates.
Now, review this. KERETAPI Tanah Melayu Bhd (KTMB) has been asked to assist MMC Corp Bhd to control due diligence upon a inhabitant railway company. That was last year. The due diligence is critical for MMC to decide if it wants to privatize KTMB. MMC skeleton to siphon in some RM1 billion in to KTMB as well as take over a operations. And KTMB was asked to assist them. Assist them means what? KTMB said, they have not perceived any instructions from a supervision to put a make a difference upon hold. In other words, it's an ongoing process. When will a takeover take place?
It's not rocket science. When Dr Mahathir paves a approach for MMC to take over is a answer. How can it recoup a outrageous investments or financial it?
You will recollect a stand in tracking plan from Gemas to JB has been behind for 10 years. It will take off when MMC takes over KTMB as well as goes to a supervision to say, given they have been a finish user for which facility, you can build it ourselves. Maybe you team up with a Chinese to give face to China.
So how do you describe our economic complement given a time of Mahathir? Talks about a smorgasbord of acronyms- ETP, PDP, NKEA, EPP all meant nothing. The complement you have surely couldn't be called a Singapore character autarchy- given any organisation with a little red dot in a south is anathema to Mahathir. So what do you have? A capitalist development state similar to Japan? Malay mysticism mixed with Market Economics?- which can't be since Ibrahim Ali hates giveaway marketplace economics. Can it be a slow motion version of Soviet character economics- where a chosen grabbed prolific public resources for in isolation gain? It looks which way- given M! ahathir as well as Najib talk about gratification all a time, our economy should be called Robber Baron Socialism.
I cite to call it a new model- a Che Det Consensus. It's an economy built around practical, complaint solving as well as technologically innovating model. Except a unsentimental for a commercial operation as well as domestic elite, solves a complaint for a pirate barons as well as masking under a guise of technological innovativeness. Hence you have a select phrase of unlocking value, releasing potential.. ad nauseam. The hired lackeys as well as running dogs of a Che Det Consensus have been operative overtime.
