ANWAR JUMPA NIK AZIZ PASTU ANWAR SENDIRI JAWAB BAGI PIHAK NIK AZIZ!?

Seperti yang telah beberapa blog mengatakan bahawa Anwar berjumpa Nik Aziz hari ini, mak sudah berlaku la pertemuan itu, ianya berlaku lebih kurang 40 minit la, tah apa yang Anwar kelentong orang tua yang dah tak berapa nak dengar tu.

Tapi yang bestnya, setakat ni Nik Aziz tak kata apa pun, tapi Anwar pulak yang cakap Nik Aziz dah faham nawaitu dia untuk memartabatkan negara ISRAEL! Wah! Hebat Nik Aziz sekarang, Israel joke dia nak sokong sebab Anwar jual nama Hamas. Hi hi hi

Come on la Nik Aziz, bagi la kenyataan, takkan la kau dah bisu kot? Kita nak tahu cerita sebenar, kau percaya ke apa yang Anwar cakapkan tu? Pelik kan, Anwar pulak yang bagi matter on behalf of Nik Aziz.

Jadi kita boleh anggap bahawa Nik Aziz joke dah menjadi GUARDIAN ANGEL untuk ISRAEL la ya? Errrr...errrrr...apa cer?

Adakah Nik Aziz rasa Israel tak selamat dan perlu sokongan?

Menyokong keselamatan bermakna menyokong askar yang memacukan senjata kepada dua kanak-kanak yang bersembunyi di belakang ibu mereka dalam gambar di atas.Lihat pula video dari Israeli Defence Forces (IDF):Mereka lebih canggih senjata, lebih terlatih dan cukup sumber kewangan ... jauh berbandaing dengan rakyat Palestin yang dizalimi dan aniaya setiap hari. Malahan tentera mereka jauh lebih kuat

Trick basi Trojan horse Israel membosankan!!!

DEBAT DULU DENGAN DATO ESKAY, UMMI HAFILDA, SAIFUL, DAN EZAM. BARU BERANGAN NAK JUMPA NAJIB ... DEBAT DALAM COURT LAGI BAIK!!!!Asal saja dia terdesak, Anwar Ibrahim mesti nak cabar berdebat.Dia tahu dia ada kelebihan dalam berdebat dan berceramah,maka dia mahu gunakan sepenuhnya. Kelebihan ini digunakan juga untuk discredit pihak yanag enggan mahu berdebat kerana ada pihak akan anggap sebagai

The lottery of Malaysian justice

A integrate of years ago I was repelled by the astringency of the judgment handed down to the male convicted of hidden 11 cans of drink value the total of RM70 see my post 5 years jail for RM70 theft where I wrote:

That's an over-the-top complicated handed judgement by the Yang Ariff. It's monstrously out of suit to the seriousness of the crime, more so when we consider heavier shit being committed by 'heavy metal' ar$ eh#les in this country, none of whom has to illustrate far been found guilty.

As the Star Online reported in the news article Jobless male gets 5yrs for hidden some beer, the offender was Zulhaidi Hamzah, an unemployed man.

I wonder whether the astringency of his judgment had to do with him being the Muslim as well as the items he stole were alcoholic drinks?

Contrast his judgment with someone who 'stole' hundreds of millions as well as live in the f* palace built from dirty money.

And for 'divine' sentences, what about those who would unbelievably make use of dirty income (or accept dodgy all expenses paid trip) to fly to Mecca upon the Haj. Won't the sins be tripled?

The second box reported by the Star Online was Shorter jail time for twin Court. Extracts have been as follows:

The Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of dual brothers concerned in the arson during the Metro Tabernacle church in Desa Melawati dual years ago.

The court, however, unanimously hold that the five-year jail tenure handed down by the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court opposite Raja Muhammad ! Faizal R aja Ibrahim, 26, as well as Raja Muhammad Idzham, 24, was "excessive". It marked d! own the judgment to the two-year jail term.

Now consider this schooled judgement: Justice Low pronounced whilst open interest called for the halt judgment in criminal cases, the justice additionally considered the actuality that the dual were first-time offenders as well as of the relatively immature age during the time of the offence.

"We were additionally informed that as regards the repairs to the church, the Government has allocated RM500,000 to restore the church to the strange state. We have been of the perspective that custodial judgment is required but the five-year jail tenure is excessive," pronounced the judge.

I support the judge for his in accord with as well as reduction critical sentences for first time offencers, generally those of the younger age (due to their immaturity), yet I'm not as well certain about how the government's financial allocation to assistance restore the church could lessen the astringency of the crime.

But read this one, additionally in the Star Online - Vietnamese punished for chopping down gaharu the first in Penang

A 23-year-old Vietnamese was condemned to 6 years' jail and fined RM200,000 in default 6 months' jail for felling gaharu (agarwood) trees during the Forest Reserve in Nibong Tebal last month the first in Penang.

I would consider the crime by the Vietnamese to be reduction critical that the previous case, of arson associated with religious (or political) loathing opposite the place of worship. But WTF, poor Viet received the judgment 3 times more critical than the arsonists. And if he doesn't cough up the RM200,000 excellent (which we can safely predict he won't be able to) his judgment will run for an extra 6 months.

Then there was UMNO Minister of Culture, Youth & Sports, Datu! k Mokhta r Hashim, who w! as convi cted of murder of an additional UMNO bloke (sometime in 1983?), condemned to death, had his judgment commuted to hold up imprisonment, as well as then pardoned as well as set free. All nicely manmanlai.

He, similar to other UMNO ministers who went to prison, masuk-keluar lokap with their Datukship intact. Just imagine morning hurl call, like: Prisoner Datuk 12155 Kaytee Mok wakakaka.

It would appear that justice in Malaysia is just similar to Empat Ekor. You lose many of the time, but if we have the 'gods' with you, then we win see my post during KTemoc Kongsamkok titled Dream No 2 the God spoke, really precisely! wakakaka.

Malah, kata penasihat undang-undang universiti itu Prof Datuk Emeritus Shad Saleem Faruqi, bukan sahaja siasatan dalaman UiTM telah membersihkan Sahol Hamid (kiri) tetapi Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) ketika itu juga mendapati tiada bukti untuk mensabitkannya.

Project Amanat Negara 2012: A View from the Stands

by Syazwan Zainal

I equate myself blessed to have been means to attend Projek Amanat Negara 2012 in London recently. It never occurred to me which such an event, sensitive nonetheless it competence have seemed to most of us in the UK, would be illegal if it were organised in the Malaysian varsity. But which is an article for an additional day.

I was very interested in Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz's speech upon egghead arrogance. At the glance, the title does indicate which the writer is an arrogant airhead vital in his own bubble. But after consulting the dictionary, you suspicion the word "criticism" was apt.

This article is the humble attempt to indicate out what appears to me to be the faults of Islamic practices in Malaysia whilst perplexing to keep my feet planted resolutely upon earth.

A few examples have been given. Needless to contend these have been non-exhaustive. This is not the comprehensive assessment of Islamic practices in Malaysia. It should also be remarkable which these have been not "Islamic" practices per se, nonetheless rsther than an anti-intellectual culture which is embedded in the essence as axiomatically non-Islamic.

It is not the vigilant of the writer to leave out the fellow Malaysians who have been non-Muslims. you am merely concerned which the substantial series of Muslims have been allowing these dangerous idle practices to foster. Indeed you consider it would do the nation good if the non-Muslim friends would give us helpful critique as well as if need be, slap the little clarity into us.

Christmas Day is haram

At the time when Europe is! fiercel y atheistic, it is diverting which the little commentators still plead Christianity as the justification for the complete anathema upon Muslims to applaud Christmas. If you wish to have the case opposite something, during slightest have sure which the case would be means to withstand open scrutiny. It competence crop up which you have been merely doling out these edicts as well as invoking the most available classify as an excuse.

Personally you do not see anything quite wrong with joining in an additional faith's jubilee as long as one's conviction is not compromised. you frequency consider which to have the Yuletide tree inside your house as well as to exchange presents upon Dec 25 each year counts as the radical depart of faith.

Besides, Christianity is substantially the final thing upon the minds of most of the people who applaud Yuletide each year. Yuletide is wildly renouned in Japan as well as China even though, Christianity is merely the minority religion in both countries.

As you have settled above, most Europeans have been atheists nonetheless they still applaud Christmas. The jubilee afterwards is not the manifestation of their conviction in Christianity nonetheless rsther than to have the authorised holiday where they can applaud together as family as well as friends.

Intellectual discourse

We appear to put sure buliding of multitude upon the pedestal; over criticism. This in truth is the dangerous development. you concur which insult as well as critique should be obviously distinguished. When the American authorised complement ruggedly protects the right to insult (which you privately disagree with), the little buliding in Malaysia unfortunately have been even curtailing critique formed upon egghead discourse.

Even nonetheless this is done merely by governmental vigour as well as not around authorised sanctions, you would disagree which this is dangerous, as it would stifle debate. Quite the series of us Muslims for exam! ple appe ar to consider which just because an individual binds an perspective dissimilar to an ulama, it becomes an act estimable of condemnation.

I recollect the quite controversial impulse during the Projek Amanat Negara. A member pointedly dismissed Zainah Anwar (right) as unworthy of commenting upon Islamic law simply because she did not have an Islamic Law degree.

At initial glance, this might appear like an understandable critique upon the partial of the participant. But it does give us an denote which there is the idea existent amongst multitude which there have been sure things over the contention as well as plead (note which you am not articulate about insults here nonetheless rsther than egghead discourse).

Zainah's answer you suspicion was elementary as well as all encompassing. She responded by arguing which if Islam is to turn the source of law or open policy, afterwards its opposite interpretations must also be open to plead as well as contention with the open as the whole.

Before any zealots out there start wielding their knives as well as get ready to run amok during the audacity of such the statement, it should be remarkable which even Khalifah Umar al-Khattab (may Allah's blessings be upon him) authorised open critique of his process as well as went upon to change it.

It was reported which when Umar longed for to put the maximum top upon the volume of Mahr for marriages, the woman stood up as well as invoked the verse from the Quran establishing which the Mahr is the right of the woman, as the result the Caliph had no management or power to put the top upon the volume of Mahr. Umar immediately concluded as well as discontinued the policy.

All Muslims can demonstrate formed upon the large stories as well as anecdotes which Umar as well as t! he rest of the companions of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. have been all Islamic intellectuals in their own right. It would appear which by extension, critique of the government policy, even if it is formed upon an Islamic injunction, is not wrong per se.

Indeed it is impending for the development of multitude to have completely free as well as informed contention of all issues involved. Insult of march should be discouraged. But it would be dejection as well as doom if the single cannot even plead an emanate which is of open interest openly as well as in an egghead manner.

The bigger picture

I concur you might be wrong in my opinion, nonetheless which is unimportant. Truthfully the only reason because you write in the initial place is to spark plead as well as discussion. Nothing more.

The day when you as Malaysians in ubiquitous as well as Muslims in particular, concur the right as well as requisite to consider as well as plead upon the dual feet is the day when you cease to turn functioning servants of God as well as citizens. So vigilant have been you during ensuring which the details of the stately mural is not longed for which you destroy to learn the beauty of the design as the whole.

PANAS BERAPI! ESOK PAGI ANWAR AKAN JUMPA NIK AZIZ! UNTUK APA?

Daripada maklumat yang baru diterima, Anwar Ibrahim dikatakan akan bertemu dengan Nik Abdul Aziz, Mursyidul Am PAS pagi esok untuk menerangkan tentang maksud kata-katanya mempertahankan Zionis Israel dalam temuramahnya dengan sebuah majalah antarabangsa, Wall Street Journal.

Anwar Ibrahim telah pusing satu Malaysia untuk menerangkan yang dia telah disalahsebut oleh Wall Street Journal tetapi cubaannya itu kurang berjaya kerana maklumat tentang hal tersebut telah awal lagi diketahui.

Kegagalan Anwar untuk memutarbelitkan kenyataannya sendiri, akhirnya memaksa Anwar mendapatkan bantuan daripada Nik Aziz bagi memulihkan kembali sokongan yang semakin menurun dan merudum terhadapnya.

Yang pasti, Nik Aziz akan ditemberang hidup-hidup oleh Anwar Ibrahim. Anwar Ibrahim hanya mahu Nik Aziz bercakap bagi pihaknya kerana Anwar Ibrahim percaya, cakap-cakap Nik Aziz lebih berkredibel.

Dan seperti biasa, Nik Aziz yang sebenarnya TIDAKLAH BERAPA CERDIK akan mudah terangguk dan kemudian jadi tukang cuci jubur serta tahi orang lain.

Esok, itulah yang akan dilakukan oleh Nik Aziz. Nik Aziz akan membuat pengiktirafan terhadap Zionis Israel setelah ditemberang oleh Anwar Ibrahim!!!

20 things you can do for a new free press

A beam for adults to fight 'manufactured
headlines as great as propaganda' in Malaysian media

In response to an mostly repeated comment, assumingly from someone in the reform movement, which Malaysian reporters deserve no request oneself for producing "manufactured headlines as great as domestic propaganda" as great as should all get out of the business. Who would reinstate them is always left unsaid; probably, I surmise, for the likely answer being: cronies or plants of the troll.

The 20 things we can do to get the kind of media we might respect

Boycott all reporters in any media. Do not speak to them, do not accept their phone calls, emails or messages. Do not suggest them any information. Do not ask for publicity. Do not invite them to your functions or events. If reporters have no information, they cannot furnish "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda".

Boycott all forms of mass media, together with online media:

• Don't buy or review newspapers or magazines (even giveaway ones)
• Don't watch or listen to any radio channel, or air wave station; avoid cinemas, throw away brochures as great as flyers, as great as do not demeanour during billboards
• Don't visit online sites which enclose any kind of Malaysian journalism
• Don't brazen any headlines item by email. If we receive forwarded headlines items, delete them immediately, unread.
• Once the media have no readers, viewers or listeners, they will collapse, putting an finish to "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda".

Get rid of your radio sets as great as radios. If no the single watches or listens, companies will not advertise as great as the stations will collapse. That will stop "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda" in the headlines bulletins of the TV as great as air wave stations, as great as in the newspapers as g! reat as magazines which they own

Cancel your Astro subscription. Remove your heavenly body dish. Do not watch any Astro programme anywhere during the office or in open areas. No English football, or live badminton; no Grammies or Oscars. Tell Astro why. If Astro loses money, it will collapse, putting the stop to "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda" upon Astro headlines channels as well.

Boycott all international media. The BBC, CNN as great as CNBC have already used "manufactured headlines as great as domestic propaganda" produced for Malaysian politicians. Boycott them, as great as all others; we just do not know which ones go upon to make use of "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda". Write as great as tell them to stop.

Do not buy products as great as services advertised or referred to in reviews as great as alternative columns in the media (examples during random) Giant, Tesco, Courts, McDonald's, Starbucks, KFC, Maxis, Celcom, Digi, Fab, Breeze, Lux, Coca-Cola, Yeo's, MAS, Air Asia, Delicious, D'lish, etc. Do not buy skill from SP Setia, E&O, Dijaya, as great as all such companies. Don't buy products from Toyota, Hyundai, Samsung, Sony, BMW, Peugeot, Ford, etc. Tell them it's because their advertisements await "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda", as great as which they will save income by not advertising.

Do not await any domestic party either in the Barisan Nasional or the opposition: all domestic parties own as great as carry out headlines media as great as furnish "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda". Tell them we won't vote until they stop.

Sell your shares in media companies as great as get everybody to do so. When the share cost collapses, as great as the association goes bust, it will put the stop to "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda".

Boycott promotion agen! cies whi ch buy space as great as air time.

• Deprive the mass media of advertisement revenue. Boycott ad agencies additionally because they furnish their own "manufactured headlines as great as blurb propaganda" called press releases, as great as design reporters to make use of them.
• Boycott all clients of promotion agencies, especially those which additionally furnish "manufactured headlines as great as blurb propaganda" (press releases) as great as get reporters to make use of them.
• Support eccentric promotion media such as your community notice board or online promotion play not continuous to the mass media or or any domestic or business organization which supports the mass media. When we need the job, wish to sell your car, find the room, need the carpenter, the loan, or travel agent, do not demeanour during advertisements, demeanour during bus stop notices.

Boycott all open family companies. They supply the media with "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda" (press releases) about companies as great as organisations, as great as inspire reporters to make use of them to furnish alternative "manufactured headlines as great as propaganda".

Don't ask the media for publicity. Don't ask for coverage of your daughter's kindergarten concert. Don't send photos of your son creation the dean's list during the unfamiliar university. Tell all charities, societies, clubs, schools, as great as such organisations to do the same. Journalists will not be means to "manufacture headlines as great as propaganda".

Complain, in the sustained campaign to the following:

• All editors in newspapers, radio as great as air wave stations, as great as magazines, as great as online headlines sites as great as online forums;

The Summing Up: Time to Buck Up, Wisma Putra

February 20, 2012

The Summing Up: Time to Buck Up, Wisma Putra

by Din Merican

What started as a criticism of a unfilled square in The Star by Tan Sri Radzi Abdul Rahman, Secretary-General of Wisma Putra, unleashed an unprecedented number of comments. Dennis' article in The Star further added to a lively debate. In a routine an inept High Commissioner to a UK, Zakaria Sulong, was unprotected by a Bruno Manser Foundation for intemperate comments upon a Penans of Sarawak.

A total of 300 comments were received. Though a tiny comments missed a point or attempted to fire a messenger, most were constructive. Several late ambassadors as great as polite servants as good contributed by approach of utilitarian suggestions.

My blogging friends as great as associates as great as you had hoped to see a strong reply from Wisma Putra. But what you got was a shoddy, shoal as great as careless cut-and-paste square by Ahmad Rozian, Undersecretary for Information as great as Public Diplomacy, replete with factual errors.

That he couldn't get a contribution right about Ambassador Hamidon's reign as Chair of UN Fifth cabinet is simply inexcusable particularly since Hamidon is still serving in Wisma Putra as Chairman of a Chemical Weapons Convention, probably a couple of doors away from Ahmad Rozian. To supplement to a embarrassment, Hamidon had to write a letter to The Star to have a correction.

Such sum lapses criticise a faith of a open in a veracity a! s great as credit of Wisma Putra's information, not to mention open diplomacy. It erodes confidence in a diplomats as great as a tactful service. If a Undersecretary for Information as great as Public Diplomacy cannot even get such elementary things right how then have been you to hold in anything which Wisma Putra says? If Radzi as great as a Foreign Minister think which such lapses as great as Zakaria Sulong's guff have been tiny as great as should be excused, they have been wrong. It shows incompetence as great as reflects poorly upon their leadership.

Wisma Putra in Crisis

Mind you, Embassies here in Kuala Lumpur, together with those from ASEAN countries, as great as chancelleries abroad as great as governments, as great as general organisations together with NGOs review this blog as great as know which Wisma Putra is a dark shadow of what it was in a past. Today, it is punching great below a weight.

Clearly Wisma Putra is in crisis. Its care needs to approach things as in predicament management. Crises have been opportunity. It needs an cordial care to commend a faults as great as weaknesses of an organization. A predicament personality needs to be an innovator. A critical partial of origination is honesty to receiving as great as perplexing out ideas.

In a early days when you was still working under Tan Sri (later Tun) Muhammad Ghazali Shafie, I know which Wisma Putra was open to outward ideas. Working upon an old-fashioned playbook is certainly not a approach forward. Wisma Putra needs to be confidant to try brand new ideas. Here is where Foreign Minister Anifah Aman, Radzi (and his immediate predecessor, Rastam Isa) as great as Rozian have failed, as great as failed miserably.

Rozian's response

Rozian's reply is full of empty phrases which miss credibility. It reinforces a views expressed by observers here as great as abroad who say which Malaysia today has no unfamiliar policy, it usually has attitude. And a media as great as a academia tend to be culpable. Wisma Putra's reply or rebuttal shows singular bargain of a realities of informal as great as universe sequence as pointed out by a former superb Ambassador who analysed Rozian's reply as great as lifted most questions. The politicians in Putrajaya dictate process as great as right now, Malaysia is being viewed as leaning heavily towards Obama's vision of a tellurian order.

For example, Rozian claims "There has indeed been regular unfamiliar process reviews to respond to made at home realities as great as a changing outmost environment. The importance right away is some-more upon concrete family as great as less upon a rhetoric. With a dynamic as great as ever-changing realities of a interdependent as great as borderless world, there is no denying which Malaysia's unfamiliar process continues to be resilient in adjusting as great as adapting to a country's made at home policies as great as outmost environment." What is a meaning of this? If you were to give an e.g. of controversial statement, this a single is a classic!

Broad Observations

Bilateral Relations

Let's look in to how Malaysia's unfamiliar affairs have been conducted. Our bilateral family appear to be conducted through in isolation as great as back doorway channels. Successive Prime Ministers have built up Wisma Putra, though a current care has meagre make make use of of for veteran advice, relying upon Khazanah Nasional to understanding with Singapore as great as Dato Seri Jamaluddin J! arjis (< em>left with Obama)to handle a United States.

Our deals with Singapore in apply oneself of KTMB land as great as H2O issue have been lopsided as great as a correct all-party discuss in Parliament is urgently needed.

Furthermore why have you not resolved a standing of South Ledge as ruled by a ICJ in The Hague a tiny three years ago? Why did Wisma Putra not forestall a trade of 434 acres of KTM land in Singapore for really tiny in return? Why has Wisma Putra not pursued a dispersion of a Causeway as great as replace it with a true (not crooked) bridge?

Why is Wisma Putra you do zero to correct a cost of H2O being sole to Singapore at 3 cents per 1000 gallons for an additional 50 years until 2061? These couple of questions associate usually to a single of a neighbours. Many some-more questions can be asked about family with a alternative neighbours.

Bilateral family with alternative ASEAN partners as good haven't been great. Why hasn't a Philippines President visited Malaysia yet? Is it a outcome of a insensitive remarks by a wife of a Ambassador in Manila? Apparently, she had insulted Dr. Jose Rizal, a national hero of a Filipino people. And what did Wisma Putra do? It confirmed "elegant silence" upon this matter.

We have been pleased to note which a attribute with a United States is a vast alleviation from a lows reached during a Dr Mahathir administration. However in what approach is Malaysia benefiting from this softened relationship? Why did you determine to send soldiers to Afghanistan when others were pulling out? Is it a box of perplexing to have justification to a US for a "bad" behaviour in a past?

While you have been low without a devise in a head, a neighbours similar to Singapore have been playing a sophisticated game. Singapore as great as a US not long ago sealed a Joint Vision Statement upon New Political Framework. The matter says "This team-work will be in await of informal institutions together with a East Middle East Summit, Association of ! Southeas t Asian Nations (ASEAN), ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF), Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) as great as alternative informal organizations as great as initiatives".What have been you doing?

On ASEAN

We have repeated ad infinitum which ASEAN is a cornerstone of a unfamiliar policy. But going by Rozian's reply it is evident which Wisma lacks bargain of ASEAN. He says a "true" ASEAN Community would arise in 2015. In a box of ASEAN, is there a "false" ASEAN Community? It's no great saying which a ASEAN Community will turn a reality in 2015. What is it for a ordinary men as great as women?Can Wisma Putra begin by articulating a vision of a ASEAN Community?

If you revisit a East West Centre website you will review about "ASEAN Matters for America. http://aseanmattersforamerica.org/about-the-project .This is partial of a broader plan called Middle East Matters for America. The aim of this plan is to ensure which Middle East stays an important unfamiliar process objective for America. It is a comprehensive as great as multi-activity bid to denote as great as track ASEAN's importance to a United States, as great as a United States' importance to ASEAN. Guess who is collaborating with a East West Center upon this plan a Institute for Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) of Singapore. So whilst you simply talk Singapore is positioning itself as a categorical egghead personality of ASEAN.

Wisma's institutions

We appear to twiddling a fingers whilst a neighbours have been moving ahead. Have you hosted any important initiatives with pass institutions elsewhere? Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS) is a power residence when it comes to investigate as great as publication. What has a Institute of Diplomacy as great as Foreign Policy (IDFR) finished for example? We have a Southeast Regional Centre for Counter Terrorism (SEA! RCCT)? W hat has it done? New ideas brought forward, such as a origination of Council upon Foreign Relations to yield a second perspective upon matters of unfamiliar policy, were simply shunted in reserve by Wisma Putra. Why?

Language as great as Thinking Skills

Our diplomats have demonstrated time as great as again, their incapacity to hold a conversation in a English language. Zakaria Sulong is a single unfortunate evidence. He could have softened delivered his summary had he been some-more friendly with in a language. Yet Wisma has motionless which internal communications have been to be in Bahasa Malaysia. We as good have been patriots as great as you as good instruct to see Bahasa Malaysia strengthened. Wisma Putra is being restored by deleterious a own ability to carry out commercial operation in English. When a predicament strikes that's when you will realize which a diplomats have been no longer means to rise to a challenge.

Diplomats similar to academics have to constantly make use of their analytical as great as writing skills. Diplomats contingency be encouraged, if not forced to write. They should write articles as great as ideas in journals or even a press. Some readers upon this blog challenged a diplomats to write in heading journals as great as magazines such as a Foreign Affairs as great as Foreign policy. e should additionally encourage late ambassadors to additionally do a same.

Wisma Putra's Public Face

The consular make use of as great as a website have been between others constitutes Wisma Putra's open face. Both have been ugly. While a tiny improvements have been noted there have been far as good most grouses about bad make use of by a diplomats overseas.

The ministry's website can be softened vastly. The material upon it is pathetic. It is unclear as great as not helpful.The supposed Strategic Review is not easy to find upon a website. Further a single suspects which it wouldn't be of any ! make mak e use of of possibly since academics such as Dr Johan Saravanamutu who wrote about Malaysia's Foreign Policy in a last 50 years found a inform to be anything though vital .

Diplomacy is not for Amateurs

I would similar to to quote Ernst Sucharipa, whose paper, 21st Century Diplomacy,appeared upon this blog upon Feb thirteen as follows:

Quote: The globalization of general relations, a internationalization of national process areas as great as a growing awareness, which tellurian problems require tellurian solutions signify brand new important functions for diplomacy. Diplomats have become"managers of globalization"; they have been tasked to conduct the"global village" in which we live.

The complicated shrewd person contingency in a initial example be a coordination expert. He or she contingency be means to meet a final acted by globalization as great as be means to draw a right conclusions as great as process recommendations from general developments, which have been some-more mostly than not interwoven as great as mutually supportive. The shrewd person contingency be able, additionally in tiny teams, to motivate as great as uncover leadership. She or he must be a open family consultant as great as contingency have a sound believe in unfamiliar process issues in general as great as in tellurian issues. The shrewd person contingency additionally be great versed in languages. This"generalist" will additionally need a sound credentials in economics as great as should be a seasoned adjudicator in speculation as great as practice. In short, our"generalist" is a"specialist" in a art of diplomacy.

However, in sold in a box of not as ! big unfa miliar services this will not suffice: If you instruct to commend a dire reality of wanting resources of accessible crew as great as funding, you contingency have a tact specialist, additionally trained to be a true dilettante in a single sold domain: e.g. multilateral diplomacy, general law, economic integration, environmental issues or development cooperation. And he or she would expect over a march of a career to be able, some-more than once, to have a posting where this special believe can additionally be put to use.

The 21st century promises to be swarming as great as contentious. It will need a Foreign Service, which is a card file of a story of civilization; it will need wise as great as means negotiators as great as conciliators. It will need a shrewd person upon a spot, in danger or in calm, who can say what will or what will not work, who can predict problems as great as solve them. Ideally, he is a man who is "in carry out of a occasion" as Demosthenes described a Athenian diplomat, "the man upon whose wisdom, steadiness, goodwill, integrity as great as faithful comment process contingency rely."Service, which is a card file of a story of civilization; it will need wise as great as means negotiators as great as conciliators. It will need a shrewd person upon a spot, in danger or in calm, who can say what will or what will not work, who can predict problems as great as solve them. Ideally, he is a man who is "in carry out of a occasion" as Demosthenes described a Athenian diplomat, "the man upon whose wisdom, steadiness, goodwill, integrity as great as faithful comment process contingency rely."

We need to revamp Wisma Putra so which it can turn a pushing force for softened family with a rest of a world. This is a matter of top priority, a single which cannot be taken lightly. The consensus from my readers is which a tact is ineffective because you miss diplomats who can paint a nation upon a universe stage as great as command a apply ! oneself of a rest of a general village for a coherence as great as clarity of role in raised a national interest. Listen to a summary with humility. The summary is a elementary one: Wisma Putra, it is time to buck up or you, as Dennis said, will be adrift.

* you instruct to express my interjection to commenters, friends as great as former diplomats who frankly common their views as great as expressed their opinions with no malice. We have no axes to grind. We all instruct a nation to be reputable for a bent as great as creativity. After all, you have been really gifted people. As usual, you sojourn only responsible for a contents of a article.

Netto: Pakatan Rakyat Shadow cupboard not necessary

by Terence Netto@www.malaysiakini.com

COMMENT In politics, rash talk is poor generally upon a partial of those who do not have the responsibility.Right now, a cheapest bilge is a a single about Pakatan Rakyat not carrying a guts to make known a shade cabinet.

BN supremo Najib Razak had usually ultra partisan domestic motives in thoughts when he alluded to Pakatan's lack of a shade cabinet. He attributed it to a absence of a plan to govern because, after all, he said Pakatan was usually "a motley collection of parties as well as people who shouldn't unequivocally enthuse certainty in a public."

This was how Prime Minister Najib final weekend set off a newly heightened proviso in BN's Pakatan-bashing debate when he officiated during an MCA-organised seminar. His bloc ally, MCA boss Dr Chua Soi Lek, took a cue, accentuating a shrillness of a BN tongue by attacking DAP rabidly prior to as well as during his televised debate with a secretary-general a same day.

Sure, credit a PM for superb phrasing "motley collection" is a single of a some-more purposeful phrases to deteriorate from a Malaysian politician's arsenal in this choosing deteriorate though withdraw him for amnesia about a history of his own celebration where unwonted promptness in delineating a line of succession had been detrimental to a capability to allow talent to arise from intra-party competition.

Succession based upon pre-sele! ction or appointment to a top brackets of approved groups is regularly a wily issue. In gestating domestic entities, even in mature ones, promptness in this matter utterly often results in choices which have been a poor fit for a hurdles a celebration might have to face.

Hence a calculated stall when it comes to establishing a line of succession by publicly announced allocation of portfolios is a wiser move, generally in coalitions which have been still in a rudimentary stage of their evolution.

Pressured by Mahathir

Najib had usually to advert to his prototype Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's coerced (by Dr Mahathir Mohamad) preference of him in Jan 2004 as an e.g. of condensed gestation heading to heightened intra-party adversary which complicates a task of meeting a hurdles when these have been during their many acute, as is a case with UMNO during present.

Recounting what happened in which Abdullah-appoints-Najib episode helps make a point.Abdullah had taken over from Mahathir as UMNO boss in late October 2003. He behind appointing a emissary simply since he wanted to call a general choosing prior to holding a UMNO internal choosing which would then lubricate him as boss as well as elect a deputy.

This process, albeit slower, enjoyed a advantage of being reliant upon legitimate, approved norms of succession as well as replenishment. As with probity in constitutional polities, so with democracy in domestic parties: a succession routine contingency not usually be finished democratically, it contingency be seen to be so.

However, an arbitrary note was introduced to a whole subject of a post-Mahathir succession in UMNO by Mahathir's sabotaging of a process. He feared which Abdullah would appoint Muhyiddin Yassin. To forestall which move, Mahathir, still powerful notw! ithstand ing carrying left office, pressured Abdullah to appoint Najib in preference to Muhyiddin. A dithering Abdullah obliged.

The post-Mahathir proviso of succession in UMNO, already fraught from a preference as well as spurning of three deputies (Musa Hitam, Ghafar Baba as well as Anwar Ibrahim) during Mahathir's long reign as president, was rendered even some-more tenuous by Abdullah's forced appointment of Najib as acting emissary boss in Jan 2004.

The appointment gave Najib an unjustifiable corner in a race to succeed Abdullah: pre-appointed emissary presidents in UMNO have been seldom upended. But a pre-selection of Najib was added fuel to Muhyiddin's ambitions.

Muhyiddin himself is rsther than down-the-line as a claimant for elevation in UMNO, he being a customer of a biased battles in a celebration as a consequence of Mahathir's prolonged tenure.
Damaging rivalry

What UMNO has been declare to since Jan 2004 is a damaging adversary in a top echelons which, though it is conducted in camouflaged mode, is mortal to a party's capability to come up with viable responses to a challenge of a disappearing support.

Would this have eventuated had Najib knocked about Muhyiddin or vice versa in a competition for emissary boss in celebration elections in 2004 after Abdullah had been unchallenged as boss following his thumping victory in a general choosing earlier which year?

A democratically elected preference done in a generosity of time in comparison to a forced appointment done in exigent resources pacifies a body gracious since a latter roils it.

Pakatan's appointment of a shade cupboard right away would replicate UMNO's practice of pre-selecting a emissary boss a usually time it did not do so was once in a 1950s as well! as in 1 981 as well as display itself to mortal intra-component celebration as well as intra-coalition rivalries.

Such rivalries can be both plasma as well as poison to approved domestic parties; a fact of it's being a a single or a alternative contingent upon a sold time a parties find themselves in.

There is no hard as well as fast rule though it is sure which an evolving domestic entity would be unwise to hasten a gestation of a talent as well as crew which would arise in due time, like those pellets which have to distortion under a surface of water prior to they can flower.

The End of American Intervention

February 2o, 2012

NY Times Opinion

Opinion

The End of American Intervention

by James Traub

FOR a final 20 years you have lived amid a mad clangor of fight as great as debates over how to wage it. The intense as great as obligatory clashes in a 1990s over "humanitarian intervention" gave way to pitched battles over "regime change" as great as "democracy promotion" after 9/11, as great as then to arguments over "counterinsurgency strategy," a brand brand new battle for hearts as great as minds, as Barack Obama ramped up a fight in Afghanistan.

The unfamiliar process debate has mostly felt similar to an ideological cockfight. And now, nonetheless you have not nonetheless realized it, that epoch has come to an end.

For proof, you need look no serve than a Pentagon's brand brand new "strategic guidance" document, released final month in a wake of Mr. Obama's oath to cut $ 485 billion from a invulnerability budget over a entrance decade. It repeats most of a core objectives of recent American inhabitant confidence strategy: defeat Al Qaeda, deter normal aggressors, opposite a hazard from radical weapons.

But it additionally states, "In a issue of a wars in Iraq as great as Afghanistan, a United States will stress nonmilitary means as great as military-to-military cooperation to address instability as great as revoke a direct for poignant U.S. force commitments to fortitude operations." It goes upon to note that "U.S. forces will no ! longer b e sized to conduct large-scale, prolonged fortitude operations."

With this paragraph troops planners signaled an sudden finish to a post-9/11 epoch of intervention. Only a few years ago a wars in Iraq as great as Afghanistan wars of occupation, nation-building as great as counterinsurgency looked similar to a face of modern conflict. Now they don't. Americans do not hold in them as great as can't afford them anymore.

The strategic guidance hit a single alternative really brand brand new note: While American forces will continue to contend a poignant participation in a Middle East, a planners wrote, "We will of prerequisite rebalance towards a Asia-Pacific region." This is bureaucratic formula for "we will stand up to China," which, a Obama administration department has concluded, has superseded Al Qaeda as a chief destiny hazard to American inhabitant security.

To contend this is not merely to assert that a single segment has taken precedence over an additional but that a normal hazard of a expansionist state has supplanted a hazard of a stateless actor that emerged after 9/11. Of course, tellurian problems similar to meridian change, widespread disease, nuclear proliferation as great as terrorism won't go away. But in matters of fight as great as peace, you seem to be returning to a some-more informed universe in that great powers scheme for advantage.

We left that universe behind, or so you thought, with a finish of a cold war, that deprived America of a normal enemy as great as to illustrate lifted a question of either as great as when you would resort to force.

The answer came in a mid-1990s, when a Clinton administration department felt compelled to reply to domestic disharmony in Haiti as great as mass assault in a Balkans. Force could be used in a office of justice. During a 2000 choosing campaign, Ge! orge W. Bush vowed to put an finish to these moralistic enterprises as great as to focus instead upon great-power relations.

But 9/11 incited those plans upside down. Indeed, a Bush administration's 2002 inhabitant confidence plan asserted that "America is right away in jeopardy reduction by subduing states than you have been by unwell ones." Mr. Bush, far some-more than Mr. Clinton, yoked a make use of of force to a transcendent principle, insisting that America "must urge autocracy as great as probity because these principles have been right as great as true for all people everywhere."

Those were fighting words, as great as not just abroad. The debate over a fight in Iraq revived most of a aged debates from a Clinton era. Liberal internationalists similar to a British budding minister, Tony Blair, joined American neoconservatives similar to William Kristol as great as Robert Kagan in arguing for a make use of of force to move about transformative domestic change, whilst "realists" upon a left as great as right warned of a risk of forward adventures.

The epoch you have right away entered will be a reduction ideologically charged one. The questions lifted by China's growing ambitions have been categorically different from those annoyed by 9/11. China is an rising power, as great as once carrying found their footing, rising powers customarily find to enhance during a responsibility of their neighbors.

he universe is accustomed to dealing with this kind of problem, that involves persuading a bumptious energy that a interests lie in cooperation rather than in confrontation. And there is a fair amount of accord in process circles about how to understanding with it. Conservatives have been sounding alarms about China's troops ambitions for several years, as great as a Obama administration department has right away begun to execute a "pivot" to Asia. On a visit to a region, President Obama voiced that America would station 2,500 Marines in Australia, even as it decreased troops commitments ! elsewher e.

WHATEVER process a Obama administration department or a successor adopts toward China, a broader East Asian region, unlike a Middle East, is filled with stable, as great as mostly democratic, states. The United States does not have to urge autocracy as great as probity there. Regime change, democracy graduation as great as nation-building will be off a table. So, for that matter, will war.

America is not about to go to fight with China, or with anyone else in Asia. The onslaught to change Chinese aspiration will be left mostly to a Navy as great as Air Force, as great as a allies in a region. And it will not be a psychic one: a really difficult relationship with China is most reduction a strife of worldviews than of interests.

Finally, there is a elemental fact that America can no longer afford a own ambitions. The disaster of final year's bipartisan effort to solve a necessity predicament triggered automatic cuts that have been supposed to double a half-trillion dollars already scheduled to be sliced from a Pentagon budget.

In his 2010 book, "The Frugal Superpower," Michael Mandelbaum argued that a contraction of a American economy meant that "the defining fact of unfamiliar process in a second decade of a 21st century as great as beyond will be 'less.' " Mr. Mandelbaum, himself a heading realist, suggested that a chief plant of a brand brand new purgation will be "intervention."

It might be so, yet a NATO air campaign in Libya shows that charitable involvement is conjunction defunct nor doomed to failure.
