Semuanya bermula apabila penduduk kampung Sungai Kob, Karangan seperti yang didedahkan oleh KEDAHAN69ERS.COM membantah cadangan pembinaan sebuah commemorative park terbesar di Middle East Tenggara.
Yang aku hairan, pasal apa kawasan 100% Melayu tapi nak dibuat commemorative park terbesar di Middle East Tenggara di situ? Dah tak ada tempat lain ke dan tidak ada kena-mengena dengan Melayu? Kenapa tak pilih perkampungan Cina? Kenapa perlu pilih perkampungan Melayu?
Hampir 100% kakitangan di pejabat tanah adalah orang Melayu, tapi orang Melayu inilah juga yang telah menjual tanah dengan sedikit ganjaran di bawah meja. Memorial Park di Sungai Kob adalah bukti pengkhianatan yang dilakukan oleh orang-orang Pejabat Tanah!!!

Wisma Putra responds: Keeping sideways with changes
by Ahmad Rozian Abdul Ghani
On Feb 9, The Star's Diplomatically Speaking columnist Dennis Ignatiuus wrote a commentary upon 'Wisma Putra adrift in unfamiliar affairs'. We publish a reply from a Foreign Affairs Ministry in reply to his article.
I REFER to a essay by Dennis Ignatiuus in his column, Diplomatically Speaking entitled "Wisma Putra adrift in unfamiliar affairs".
We have been beholden a writer has acknowledged which in handling unfamiliar process in this millennium, similar to alternative countries, you need to effectively confront a many hurdles in a constantly-changing tellurian environment.
Addressing hurdles affecting a republic has been an on-going pursuit to protect as good as allege a national seductiveness as good as a contentment of all Malaysians.
The contention which there was no critical unfamiliar process examination after a Mahathir administration department needs to be prepared as good as placed in a proper perspective.There has in truth been unchanging unfamiliar process reviews to respond to made during home realities as good as a becoming different outmost environment.
Since independence, Malaysia's unfamiliar process approach has been attuned to a becoming different political, economic as good as confidence environment.In a past few years, a consolidation of family with a vital partners in both developing as good as grown countries has turn a focus.
The importance now is more upon substantive family as good as less upon a rhetoric.With a energetic as good as ever-changing realities of a interdependent as good as borderless world, there is no deny! ing whic h Malaysia's unfamiliar process continues to be volatile in adjusting as good as adapting to a country's made during home policies as good as outmost environment.
The supervision led by Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is committed in seeing by a various natio- nal transformation programmes introduced together with a Govern-ment Transformation Programme, a Economic Transformation Programme as good as a New Economic Model.
Wisma Putra's Strategic Plan between 2009 as good as 2015 serves as a clear guideline of a unfamiliar process objectives as good as direction.The devise provides a resource to consider as good as evaluate a stroke as good as result of Malaysia's unfamiliar process focus as good as priorities in both discernible as good as intangible aspects.
This devise is in tandem with all supervision transformation programmes. Special mention must be made of a retired ambassadors in pity their constructive ideas as good as suggestions in a formulation of a unfamiliar policy.
Our family with a neighbouring countries have continued to be strengthened as good as a series of long-standing sticky issues amicably resolved.
Bilateral visits by a leaders have been delicately programmed as good as not without deliverables. The fostering of suggestive bilateral family as good as a shaping of long-term vital partnerships move discernible benefits both to a republic as good as a citizens.
It is for this purpose, as was practised before, which a Government, with a await of Wisma Putra, allocated accomplished personalities to be Malaysia's special envoys to countries of vital importance to Malaysia, together with China, India as good as a United States.
The appointment of these special envoys serves as an additional crucial channel to further deepen as good as enlarge ties, particularly in a area of trade as good as investment as good as explore alternative opportunities for Malaysia. Their appointment has proven to element rsther than than lessen a purpose of ambassadors! or a mi nistry.
The A-Team in Wisma Putra
Malaysia continues to contribute meaningfully in alternative areas of international affairs, even in a post-Mahathir era.We sojourn active in multilateral diplomacy, helming a Non-Aligned Movement (2003-2006) as good as a OIC (2003-2008), providing care to these two important multilateral organisations to residence a dynamics as good as hurdles of a becoming different tellurian environment.
Within a United Nations system, you say a high form serving as President of a second top principal organ of a UN, a Economic as good as Social Council (Ecosoc, 2009-2010), Chairman of a Fifth Committee of a 64th UN General Assembly as good as now Chairman of a Third Committee of a 66th UN General Assembly, to name a few.
We sojourn engaged upon a issue of a reform as good as restructuring of a UN as good as had played a constructive purpose in a formation of a UN Human Rights Council.We continue to clear a need for probity as good as integrity in a formulation of resolutions in reply to a tellurian political, economic as good as social challenges.
We never cease to contribute to tellurian assent as good as confidence not usually by ideas though deeds such as a involvements in peace-making as good as peace-keeping endeavours in many parts of a world. Malaysia's initiative to promote a preferred of moderation opposite extremism, together with terrorism, is an example.
The Global Movement of Moderates espoused by a Prime Minister in 2010 during a United Nations has perceived positive as good as constructive await from various leaders of alternative countries as good as in informal as good as international fora such as ASEAN, ASEM as good as a Com! monwealt h.
As ASEAN continues to be a cornerstone of a unfamiliar policy, Malaysia has devoted poignant attention to it to ensure it plays a suggestive purpose in tellurian affairs as good as mending a welfare of a citizens.
One of a pass components to realize this is a investiture of a rules-based approach to manage inter-state family in this region.The respect which ASEAN enjoys is no small achievement for Malaysia as good as a partners. We have leverage upon this to make louder a presence in non-Asean led initiatives such as APEC as good as theTrans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
We have been assured which Malaysia, with a await of alternative ASEAN members, will achieve more in 2015 when Malaysia assumes a chairmanship of ASEAN a year a true ASEAN Community will be created.
On English denunciation skills, as a single of a many widely-used international languages, inclination in it remains important to a ministry. It would be injured to assert which by giving a little space to a use of a National Language in a ministry, it would break English inclination between officers.
The method additionally encourages a officers to learn alternative vital languages to promote multilingual skills.
Wisma Putra remains sensitised to elaborating developments as good as vigilant in a protection as good as promotion of a interests, defending a sovereignty as good as safeguarding a territorial integrity.
With a Government determined to successfully exercise a various transformation programmes together with 1Malaysia, pass performance indicators have been set to measure as good as urge a potency as good as quality of supervision services.With this resource in place, none of a ministries or alternative supervision agencies can means to run upon autopilot.
If as good as when Ignatiuus is behind in Malaysia, you would positively acquire him to visit a method to share his knowledge while during a same time keep him sideways with a current developments in Wisma Putra as good as Mal! aysia.
Ahmad Rozian is Undersecretary of Information as good as Public Diplomacy, Foreign Affairs Ministry.

'Unlike his dad, Najib seen as destroying Felda'
While second prime apportion Abdul Razak Hussein is well known as a nation's father of development, some view his son Najib as a destroyer of a Federal Land Development Authority (Felda) programme, a devise which his father had built.
Anak boss Mazlan Aliman pronounced while Abdul Razak was seen as carrying a forward-looking process of uplifting a Malays as well as devise for augmenting a equity of bumiputeras by thirty percent, his son as well as alternative present-day leaders have used a benefaction resources to gain personal wealth at a responsibility of settlers.
"Razak had laid a substructure for a Malays, but Najib, we would say, is to a opposite extreme to what his father had left at a behind of in his legacy. we would contend Najib in a extreme sense is seen as destroying what his father had built," he remarked.
Razak was a apportion in assign of Felda from 1959 to 1970, while Najib has been a apportion in assign since 2004.
Mazlan pronounced Najib is hell-bent in starting for a inventory of Felda Global Venture Holdings Bhd (FGVH) scheduled upon May 10, although there is clever antithesis to it.
During Monday's interview, Mazlan had pronounced which since a 1990s there have beenfailed projectsby Umno politicians in preying upon Felda settlements similar to Felda Cahaya Baru, in Masai, Johor; Felda Sungai Buaya, Hulu Selangor; as well as Felda Sendayan as well as Lyndon B Johnson in Negri Sembilan.
It was reported yesterday which a FGVH inventory upon Bursa Malaysia could generateRM21 billion on Bursa Malaysia as well as it was on overdriveover a listing.
Anak has been making allegations against a listing, including a proposed takeover of a cash-laden Koperasi Permodalan Felda Bhd (KPF).
Poser over because FGVH was chosen
Mazlan, in his talk with Malaysiakini, asked because FGVH was selected for a inventory exercise in welfare to alternative companies, since it is a actuality which FGVH is only 3 to four years old, as well as had done waste of RM500 million recently.
The Anak boss pronounced antithesis personality Anwar Ibrahim had suggested a waste purebred by FGVH as well as this RM500 million figure was verified by Deputy Minister in a Prime Minister's Department, Ahmad Maslan.
He pronounced FGVH, as a subisidary of Felda, has investments in United States, Canada as well as China, where a jot down was terrible as well as similarly a chief executive officer, Sabri ! Ahmad, w ho was hired from Golden Hope, additionally has a bad repute as he was pronounced to be obliged for some of a waste there.
"So how can a association which has a bad repute go for a listing? What is a role of FGVH being selected as well as because target KPF, as without a inventory Felda, by Felda Holdings, is already a big entity with 47 subsidiaries as well as seen to be at par with alternative listed companies similar to IOI as well as Sime Darby.
"What is a ground as they claimed to want to put it upon a tellurian pedestal, when Felda is already there? They have been hiding a original vigilant of a inventory which is to take a resources of a land underneath Felda Holdings as well as KPF. The settlers' lands have been not enclosed in a deal as this would lead to further protests," he said
Felda Holdings, by Felda Plantations, owns 360,000ha of land nationwide, as well as this has not been distributed to a settlers since a 1990s following a process to stop opening up new land.
Hence, Mazlan posed a question because did Najib choose FGVH as those which should be listed have been KPF or Felda Plantations. However, he said, we see a association which is proven to be a failure being entrusted with a inventory compared to alternative companies which have been already competitive as well as productive.
"When FGVH was chosen, there were bad vibes or fears which another difficulty might happen, looking at a lane jot down of Felda Cahaya Baru. It could be bad headlines for a company, settlers as well as a workers," he said.
Depreciating reserves
Mazlan pronounced a waste suffered by FGVH were borne by Felda, as well as these affect a liquidity.
He pronounced former Land as well as Cooperatives Development deputy apportion Tan Kee K! wong (no w PKR disciplinary cabinet chief) had pronounced Felda's income had reached RM10 billion.
"Such income could have been used to rise Felda Plantations as well as a operations. However, when Najib took over we got to know this haven had depreciated," he said.
It was previously reported which Felda had, several years back, taken a RM5 billion loan.
Mazlan additionally pointed out which Najib had additionally used bootleg means totry to appointFelda chairperson Isa Samad as KPF chairperson by his letter da! ted final August.
"However, Isa cannot be chairperson because he does not fulfill a conditions of being a KPF coope! ratives part of as his post is underneath contract, as well as he only applied to be a part of final June, since he contingency be a part of for two years for him to qualify," he said.
"It is as if Najib is using a behind way in wanting Isa to take a post, to stem dissension."
However, he noted which Najib is trying hard for a inventory even to a point of starting to a settlers directly to answer all allegations brought by Anak as was done in Perlis recently.
"This showed which he is worried which there exist a shift in await of a younger generation not to await BN. If a await of a younger generation in Felda to a antithesis continues, afterwards we am optimistic about a coming election," he said. Read More @ Source

China since Nixon (1972)
February 15, 2012
China given President Richard M.Nixon
China given Nixon (1972)
by Minxin Pei (02-13-12)
When US President Richard Nixon embarked upon his ancestral trip to China 40 years ago, he could not have imagined what his gamble would unleash. The immediate tactful impact, of course, was to reshape Eurasia's geopolitical change as well as put a Soviet Union upon a defensive. But a long-term outcome of America's truce with China became manifest only recently, with a mercantile formation of a People's Republic into a universe economy.
Had Nixon not acted in 1972, China's self-imposed siege would have continued. Deng Xiaoping's remodel as well as opening of China to a universe would have been far more difficult.
Four decades after a "Nixon shock," no a single disputes which China has benefited enormously. Today, a impoverished as well as autarkic nation which Nixon visited is history. Global reintegration has incited China into an mercantile powerhouse. It is a world's largest exporter in volume terms, as well as is a world's second-largest economy. China's participation is felt around a world, from mines in Africa to Apple stores in a United States.
As you reflect upon China's conspicuous progress given 1972, it is additionally an opportune time to cruise how China continues to fall short in overcoming systemic obstacles to long-term success. Because China is widely regarded as a leader of globalization, it is natural to assume which a nation has developed a equates to to encounter a challenges. But, whilst China has implemented policies to show off a benefits of free trade (undervaluing a currency, investing in infrastructure, as well as luring foreign! manufac turing to increase competitiveness), a nation stays unprepared for deeper formation with a world.
One pointer of this is China's miss of a necessary institutions as well as rules. For example, China has turn a significant player in providing mercantile expansion assistance (often scored equally to a plan for acquiring natural resources). Its loans as well as grants to Africa have right away surpassed those done by a World Bank. But China has no specialized group in charge of general expansion assistance. As a result, a foreign-aid programs have been feeble coordinated as well as mostly appear counterproductive. Instead of earning goodwill, they have been viewed as part of a sinister neocolonial plot to squeeze natural resources in poverty-stricken nations.
Another example is China's miss of an immigration policy. Even though China is beginning to capture work from around a world, it has yet to promulgate a extensive legal horizon which would allow a nation to contest for a many gifted people or to deal with a complexities of general migration.
A third example is a deficiency of independent policy-research organizations. Owing to domestic carry out as well as unsound veteran development, government-run investigate institutions can seldom provide a high-quality, unbiased analysis of global issues upon which sound policymaking depends.
Perhaps many importantly, two decades of rapid GDP expansion have masked serious weaknesses upon a mercantile front. Because China continues to favor state capitalism as well as discriminates opposite a private sector, it lacks clever private firms which can take upon Western multinational giants. Except for Huawei, Lenovo, as well as perhaps Haier (which is nominally collectively owned), there have been no private Chinese firms with a global footprint.
Until now, China has not paid dearly for this. Its role in a global manage to buy is confined to low-to-medium-end estimate as well as public functions. The many critical, sophisticated, as w! ell as e ssential parts of a value chain investigate as well as development, product design, branding, marketing, service, as well as distribution have been occupied by American, European, Japanese, South Korean, as well as Taiwanese companies. China simply "outsources" these high value-added functions to a likes of Apple as well as Walmart.
Of course, China does have outrageous firms, but they have been emasculate state-owned behemoths which owe their size as well as profitability to their legal monopolies as well as supervision subsidies. They may have a heft needed for global operations, but they miss a proclivity to contest with world-class Western firms as well as have been greeted with guess as well as fear around a world.
A China deeply embedded in globalization additionally needs a large pool of gifted people, comparable to a most appropriate which a West can produce. Today's China lacks which pool. While tens of millions of Chinese young people display impressive innate abilities, a country's complement of higher education does an abysmal job cultivating their talents. For most, a curriculum is mostly obsolete, as well as skewed toward rote learning of theory during a expense of simple methodical as well as critical-thinking skills.
Education in social sciences as well as humanities is quite deficient, overdue to miss of investment in these disciplines as well as extreme domestic carry out of curricula. As a result, Chinese connoisseur from colleges as well as universities carrying learned comparatively little about a outward universe in fields such as anthropology, sociology, general relations, comparative literature, as well as history. Unless China reforms a ossified system, a nation will not be means to furnish enough rarely lerned bent to contest with a world's most appropriate as well as brightest.
None of these shortcomings a miss of globalization-friendly institutions, rules, corporations, as well as bent is an insurmountable obstacle. The real subject is whether China can mislay them under a one-party system of administration which is antagonistic to a magnanimous values which enthuse as well as underpin globalization.
Nixon himself was substantially not worried by a nature of a Chinese system of administration 4 decades ago. The fact which a subject contingency be addressed right away attests to China's startling progress given then. But it additionally shows which China's prolonged impetus toward global formation stays unfinished.
