Time to Hartal the mainstream media
Reading Steadyaku47s'The Chinese contingency stop blaming a Malays'and RPK's'Malay unity during a best' day prior to yesterday left me severely troub! led. Chinese blaming a Malays for everything that's left wrong in a country?
Malays 'kecik hati' because they feel a Chinese have been not real friends of a Malays?
we do spend time upon a ground as well as we have to contend we do not get this sense.
If anything, many people, as well as this indispensably includes a Chinese, have been right away some-more aware than ever prior to that it is a chosen Malays in "Pakatan Rakyat", their cronies as well as their cohorts in BN who have enriched themselves as well as in a process singularly left this republic in nearby ruins.
And that a infancy of Malays, similar to many of a nation, have been a victims of, first, 22 years of misrule by Mahathir as well as now, some-more pillage under Najib.
This is a clarity we get, both from a rural as well as urban Chinese that we get to speak with.
Chinese blaming a Malays?
No.
Melayu kecik hati with a Chinese?
we review RPK's square again yesterday morning to see if we had longed for anything.
Umno succeeded in making a Malays become kecik hati because they feel a Chinese have right awa! y demons trated that they have been not real friends of a Malays.
RPK's expect words.
Not that a Chinese have been not real friends of a Malays, though that "Pakatan Rakyat" has succeeded in making a Malays feel that way.
The two, in my view, have been not a same.
we attempted calling RPK yesterday dusk though could not get through.
So we called a senior journalist, asked if he had review RPK's square as well as what he done of it.
He said RPK had hit a spike upon a head, though had perhaps stated it rather clumsily.
According to him, a "Pakatan Rakyat"-controlled media competence be sowing concerns amongst a Malay readers as well as viewers with a turn upon how DAP, that is embellished as a Chinese party, will be a principle benefactor if Pakatan comes to power.
How PAS, to keep DAP as well as a Chinese in Selangor happy, sacked a defender of Islam, Hassan Ali.
And upon as well as upon as well as on.
The message in a turn is subtle.
But, it seems, effective.
We need to counter this.
And fast.

Thomas Mallon Reimagines Watergate
I'm fairly sure it's the faux pas to compare the novel as well as the television show, yet we meant it as the enrich to both when we say which Thomas Mallon's new novel, "Watergate," bears the sure similarity to "The West Wing." Like which much-loved NBC drama, "Watergate" shifts between assorted group as well as women often group working inside as well as outside the White House. Even when the action becomes convoluted, we're propelled brazen as well as kept rarely entertained by the full of color characters, the delicious insider details, the intelligence of the dialogue.

WATERGATE
By Thomas Mallon
432 pp. Pantheon Books. $ 26.95.
-
Times Topic: Richard Milhous Nixon
Where "The West Wing" as well as "Watergate" diverge, during slightest many obviously, is which the single is about the fictitious, idealized Democratic boss as well as his staff while the other features fictional depictions of real, hurtful Republicans. This difference is reduction pronounced than you might imagine, however, mostly because of Mallon's evenhandedness. He's not out to lampoon Richard Nixon or any the single else. Nor is he out to set free the Nixon administration, which would have been customarily as tedious. In fact, Mallon avoids digest Watergate in the informed as well as approaching ways: there have been customarily passing references to Woodward as well as Bernstein, as well as the contingent profusion of indictments as well as imprisonments aren't major tract points.
What Mallon captures utterly well is the elem! ental we irdness as well as mystery during the center of the scandal. Who was perplexing to grasp what with those break-ins? And why? Given how ineptly they were carried out, could the sloppiness have been intentional possibly as the outcome of double agentry or as individual self-sabotage? In these pages, even those closest to the events remain bewildered by their smallness their ridiculousness, even as well as their contrastingly outsize as well as ruinous consequences.
It appears which Mallon's primary goal, the single he achieves with great finesse, is to have the portrayals of his characters as believable as possible. Like the rest of us, they aren't simply moral or immoral yet have been both crafty as well as defensive, greedy as well as self-pitying, sweet as well as loyal, generous as well as venal. Also, there have been utterly the lot of them.
Mallon's primary list of "The Players" in this book contains 112 names, perhaps an nonessential apparatus for readers who lived through Watergate, yet extremely valuable for those, similar to me, who did not. Yet Mallon's carry out over his material, his capability to subtly cue the reader about what report warrants close attention, equates to which "Watergate" isn't customarily confusing, even to the younger reader as well as even yet name-bestrewn passages similar to this one, which describes the night of Nixon's landslide 1972 re-election, have been common:
"Nixon sorted through congratulatory messages as well as returned phone calls from Rockefeller as well as Frank Rizzo, Philadelphia's tough-cop mayor, who done Agnew demeanour similar to Elliot Richardson, according to Ehrlichman. When Haldeman reminded them of this line, Nixon asked, 'Was Richardson upon the height during the hotel?' "
With such the large cast, it's no warn which the characters who uncover up the many often emerge the many vividly: Fred LaRue, the peaceful White House help from Mississippi, haunted by the not-so-gentle secret, who on purpose flies below the ra! dar of t he public; Rose Mary Woods, the president's tough as well as indifferent cabinet member (and yes, the eraser of those tapes yet not for the reason everybody thinks); Elliot Richardson, who serves as cabinet member of health, preparation as well as welfare, then of invulnerability as well as finally as Nixon's attorney general, stealing his own presidential ambitions behind the shade of self-righteousness. (Hoping to be tapped as Gerald Ford's clamp boss after Nixon's resignation, Richardson creates an amusingly brief list "of his rivals' liabilities": Gov. Nelson Rockefeller is "too old, pushy," while Senator Edward Brooke is "too liberal, black.")
Curtis Sittenfeld's fourth novel, "Earthquake Season," will be published next year.

The Fear Index, Robert Harriss Thriller
Illustration by Andrio Abero
Alexander Hoffmann is carrying a very bad day. It starts in a diminutive hours of a morning, when he startles an antagonist in his magnificent home in Geneva. The man, who bypassed a confidence system, is determinedly sharpening a family cutlery as well as has brought along some subjugation gear. He slams Alex over a conduct with a fire extinguisher as well as flees. Alex, a sidestep fund senior manager with so most income which being partial of a 1 percent might appear unambitious, has to go to a sanatorium for scans as well as stitches.
Things go downhill from there: a day includes a rift in Alex's marriage, a frantic scramble in a monetary markets as well as mayhem. Lots as well as lots of mayhem. Behind it all is a clarity which all has been orchestrated, seemingly by Alex himself. But who is unequivocally pulling a buttons?
"The Fear Index," a latest novel by Robert Harris, gives a thought in a epigraph which opens a initial chapter. It's a line from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein": "Learn from me, if not by my precepts, at slightest by my example, how dangerous is a acquirement of knowledge." Among alternative things, this warns us which Harris, who has given his readers thrillers as well as chronological novels which include "The Ghost," "Fatherland," "Enigma" as well as "Pompeii," is reaching behind to an additional literary form: Gothic horror. This chronicle of "Golems Gone Wild," however, has a high-tech twist. Alexander Hoffmann is no white-coated insane scientist, though a "quant," a mechanism boffin who has eliminated his research from CERN, a Swiss laboratory which developed a World Wide Web as well as a Large Hadron Collider, to a world of arbitrage.
Alex's brainchild is evidence a frightful song a sidestep fund. He has built ! it with a team of tip scientists, selected for technical brilliance above all alternative traits. As Harris puts it, "Nationality did not have a difference as well as nor did social skills, with a result which Hoffmann's payroll occasionally resembled a United Nations discussion upon Asperger's syndrome." Alex as well as his fellow quants consecrate which dear tent stick of horror: a scientist who knows not a moral implications of his work. What's more frightening than a geek with power?
The investment organisation has a slogan estimable of Enron: "The association of a destiny has arrived." Its profits, however, are bigger than Bernie Madoff would ever have dared to fake: an extraordinary 83 percent return over dual as well as a half years, whilst a markets were chafing as well as sinking by a quarter of their value. That, in fact, is a thought of a fund: a algorithms, Hoffmann explains, "thrive upon panic," detecting fright in a markets as well as fixation monetary bets at superhuman speed.
What could presumably go wrong? Plenty, naturally. During a day described in a book, Harris shows us which this "cloud computing" tech executives keep yammering about could turn out to be a fungus cloud.
As Alex unravels a mystery of predatory capitalism gone viral, a author revels in digressions upon a operation of monetary markets as well as Darwin's theory of natural selection, in which "old forms will be supplanted by brand new as well as softened forms." Harris has finished his homework upon both, lifting several chilling quotations from Darwin as well as details of a one-day marketplace be scared from supervision reports upon a genuine "flash crash" in May 2010.
Harris even goes for a touch of geek cred, showing us a initial server for a World Wide Web: a NeXT cube mechanism used by Tim Berners-Lee as well as still upon arrangement at CERN, with a tag upon a box reading, "This machine is a server do not energy it down!" (The novel shortens this to "do not energy down," though let's not quib! ble.) Ha rris seems to be observant there was a time you might have called a total thing off by pulling a plug upon a singular machine. Of course, a Internet long predated a Web. But again, let's not quibble. This is creepy fun.
Reality? Less fun. The book arrives in a years after a monetary meltdown caused in partial by Wall Street hubris. Hoffmann's partner talks about a days of trading collateralized debt obligations, a instruments which played such a large partial in a crisis. Harris is not coy about his feelings toward these giants of capitalism. His billionaires have income whilst ostensible to have nothing else of value. The fund offices strike one character as a "seminary of Mammon," whilst an additional says "high-end scholarship as well as income do not mix" as well as talks of "dark arts."
Harris's novel additionally comes to us as Mitt Romney, a co-founder of a in isolation equity firm, is vying to turn a nation's arch executive. Romney has said, "Corporations are people, my friend." He meant, of course, which commercial operation entities are made up of people as well as compensate their wages. But a view sounds ominous to those who fright a expanding energy of corporations in governing body as well as policy. After celebration of a mass "The Fear Index," it could appear darker still.
Humans have emerged as a tip predators of a biosphere, though Harris warns which a brand new hold up form, brilliant as well as brutal, could be rising from a algorithms, silicon chips as well as fiber-optic lines. Corporations aren't people, he tells us, though they will be alive. Will you tarry a climb of a machines? Lovers of a "Terminator" as well as "Matrix" drive-in theatre know a answer. In evolution, as with a prospectus, past performance is no pledge of destiny results.

"The word remodel has been so good abused. Never use it unless you mean it. If there was a lack of accountability, you will be similar to Egypt. The supervision is made up of people, they cannot be perfect each time."

Own repute not good
Indeed, Rafidah's own repute is not unblemished.

Chew pronounced in a statement: "While BN keeps its guarantee to annul tolls (if so, because have been we still paying RM1.90 to use a Cheras-Kajang Highway?), Penangites have been still living in a dream thanks to (Penang Chief Minister Lim) Guan Eng.
"I entirely await a proclamation by Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib Razak regarding a abolishment of a RM1 assign during a 9thMile fee piazza towards Kuala Lumpur as well as a 90 cent assign during a 11thMile fee piazza towards Kajang along a Cheras-Kajang Highway. Besides that, we additionally consternation when is Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng starting to annul a Sungai Nyior fee as well as a Penang Bridge fee as formerly promised to a people before a 12thGeneral! Electio n?"
Is Chew so undeveloped to a following:
>That fee collection is a sovereign supervision matter. Is Pakatan Rakyat (PR) already in control of Putrajaya? and
> That a PR has consistently affianced to annul fee should it be since a charge by a people to oversee Malaysia
Chew contingency be thinking PR has taken over Putrajaya as well as is, therefore, calling Guan Eng to step down if he cannot annul a Sungai Nyior toll.
Or, perhaps, Chew is additionally as stupid as Miss Jessie 'Tow Truck' Ooi, presumption Malaysians have been additionally as stupid as them.
Consistency
The consistency which we am indicating out in MCA is additionally displayed by party Youth chief Wee Ka Siong who is upset with Kajang councillors for wearing immature during a groundbreaking rite of SJKC Sungai Long.
Not to be outdone by Chew, Wee wrote which a wearing of immature had disrupted a ceremony. Obviously, immature has become an ugly colour for BN as well as MCA since it reminds a rakyat of a Lynas nuclear shit, a open illness hazard which can means delayed death to those unprotected to radiation.
But a ugly stage of Umno-Perkasa hooligans, manhandling as well as violence up anti-Lynas demonstrators on Penang island's Esplanade ground, is nowhere in Wee's radar.
MCA has been reduced to a party which is not usually subservient to Umno but additionally to Malay non-governmental organisations (NGOs) similar to a racist Perkasa.
Wee additionally continues to ramble a same nonsense, year in as well as year out, which a DAP has never delivered on their promises pertaining to Chinese education.
Again, we guess it is time for Malaysians to send PR to Putrajaya in a subsequent ubiquitous choosing so which Malaysians can decider whether a DAP as well as PR can deliver.
Giving a rakyat peanuts, w! hilst th ey takebillions
It is so crystal transparent which a goodies being dished out by Najib to a rakyat not long ago is to soften a restless rakyat to go on to await a BN in a subsequent ubiquitous choosing which contingency be hold by March subsequent year.
Malaysians have been entirely aware of this, as well as additionally which a goodies did not come from a pockets of BN leaders or a BN government. It is from a contributions of loyal Malaysian taxpayers.
In short, a rakyat have been a masters as well as which any supervision of a day will be able to dish out goodies, not just a BN government.
What is unequivocally melancholy Malaysians as well as Malaysia's destiny is a hurtful BN supervision as well as its tacit await for a likes of Perkasa, Jati, Utusan Malaysia, etc to openly divide Malaysians so as to go on to rule as well as pillage a country's wealth.
What Najib as well as BN have been dishing out to a rakyat have been peanuts compared with a billions of hurtful income being siphoned around cronies as well as one-sided plan agreements which cripple a supervision (read taxpayers).
At a moment, accept as well as take what Najib as well as BN have to offer as well as give, but when a ubiquitous choosing comes, opinion with your heart as well as conscience since it is about your children's future.
The national ballot paper of Malaysians is a master, not BN.

A Supreme Confidence: Ike in War and Peace

A Supreme Confidence
A level-headed personality of men as well as nationsEisenhower is worshiped currently by both conservatives as well as liberals.
By Gerard Baker
Presidencies, similar to good wines, urge with age. When a boss leaves office a additional of
laxity has sown its bitter harvest of contemptor during slightest boredom. There is too many fad about his successor, too many anticipation of a new, for a utterly fair estimation of a effusive arch executive's legacy.
But as a guarantee of a inheritor customarily goes unmet as well as a heat of ? la mode domestic battles cools to a some-more even temper, judgments mature, as well as a old guy starts to look a small better.
George H.W. Bush left a White House a rather unequaled disaster in domestic conditions though within a few years was getting a credit he deserved for elegantly navigating a evident post-Cold War minefield. Bill Clinton went out of office not so many underneath a cloud as enveloped in a miasma of Monica Lewinsky- as well as Marc Rich-scented liaison though currently looks softened as well as softened as historians emphasize his budget-balancing as well as welfare-reforming legacy. Richard Nixon, a closest any boss has come in a past century to being run out of locale upon a rail, during slightest gets credit for his China dmarche.
There will always be exceptions to this order of course: Historians have been never starting to have Jimmy Carter's presidency look similar to anything alternative than a one-term road in to mercantile as well as domestic oblivion. But there is no some-mo! re power ful e.g. of a growing-better-with-age speculation of presidential story than Dwight D. Eisenhower's dual conditions in a Oval Office (1953-61).
In a Swinging '60s which he unsuspectingly ushered in, a 34th President seemed an now outdated figurethe glorious of Camelot practically ridiculed a modest image of Ike as well as Mamie puttering around a White House in their slippers. His critics railed about a "missile gap" or a longed for civil-rights opportunities, as well as a required wisdom fast congealed around a proposition which Ike was a good general though a forgettable president.
But serious reappraisal has been underneath approach given a 1980s. Those rankings of presidents which magazines similar to to publishif you take them seriouslyhave had Eisenhower (1890-1969) surging up a charts, now customarily fixation in a tip 10, in a highly important association of Truman as well as Madison. And similar to all presidents with a flitting explain to greatness, Eisenhower has entered which bipartisan pantheon where both Democrats as well as Republicans compensate their obeisance.
To Republicans, he is a male who won World War II, defeated a small-minded isolationists in his own party, cemented U.S. tellurian care in a early stages of a Cold War as well as led a country by scarcely a decade of well-armed security as well as small-government prosperity.
To Democrats, Ike was a boss who ended a Korean War, resisted a calls of a "military-industrial complex" for an early hot end to a Cold War by using nuclear weapons opposite China, built a inhabitant travel infrastructure, as well as in Earl Warren as well as William Brennan appointed a personality as well as egghead architect of a Supreme Court-led civil-rights revolution of a next 20 years.
Jean Edward Smith's highly entertaining one-volume b! iography , "Eisenhower in War as well as Peace," is obviously designed to enhance Ike's explain to greatness. Mr. Smith's verdict upon a Eisenhower presidency is roughly unfailingly positive. He lauds his theme as, with a exception of FDR, "the many successful boss of a twentieth century." Eisenhower's achievements, says Mr. Smith, were founded upon a "progressive conservatism," as well as a author is obviously fervent to emphasize a progressive some-more than a regressive tools of which oxymoron. "His presidency supposing a buffered transition from FDR's New Deal as well as a Fair Deal of Harry Truman in to a modern era," he writes, a commentary which is a small some-more ideologically biased than fit by a historical record.
Conservatives can intent to this description of a male as a magnanimous lion, a kind of Nancy Pelosi in
khaki. Ike kept federal spending below 20% of GDP notwithstanding a immeasurable defense budget, as well as he balanced a books via his years in charge. And conservatives who would similar to to retrieve Eisenhower as a single of their own will surely give some-more weight to Ike's own after-the-fact reservations about a hyper-liberal Warren-Brennan court than to a idea which a boss was perplexing to reshape a American social compact by a courts.
Mr. Smith is during his besthis many entertaining as well as slightest predictablewhen examining Ike's lengthy troops career. Eisenhower's record before he led a invasion of Europe in Jun 1944 was clearly patchy, as well as Mr. Smith shows us which his climb to a highest levels of a troops establishment had many some-more to do with his easy poise of politics than with any good strategic or tactical achievements.
Eisenhower's happy knack was for being in a right place during a right time andas is loyal of roughly any one who rises in! large o rganizationsbenefiting from a advocacy as well as origin of powerful sponsors: in this case, John Pershing, Douglas MacArthur and, especially, George Marshall. "Fortuna," Mr. Smith notes, regularly discovered Eisenhower from what competence otherwise have been merely efficient obscurity. In conditions of raw troops capability, he was never a match for generals similar to George Patton or Bernard Montgomery. But, unlike them, he was easy by an additional of vanity as well as exuded calm in all situations.
But his politically adroit climb of a Army's greasy pole scarcely undid him when he assumed his first combat role in 1942: commander of all operational forces (both British as well as American) in a Mediterranean. Untested as well as unready, Eisenhower led an initially disastrous invasion of North Africa, an exercise which was usually hardly softened upon in a successive invasions of Sicily as well as a Italian mainland. He survived due to his recognition with Churchill as well as Roosevelthis friend Patton liked to impute to him as "Divine Destiny" instead of "Dwight David."
If D-Day itself was his strategic redemption, then a Battle of a Bulge a few months later represented his epitome as a troops leader. As Mr. Smith notes: "He showed a quicker grasp of a situation than any of his subordinates, as well as acted decisively to enclose a attack." Even so, it had been Eisenhower's own preference to conflict a Germans along a broad front in Northern Europe, opposite a advice of his generals. The preference was described subsequently by Patton as "the many useful blunder of a war," enabling a Germans to mangle by a Ardennes slot in a first place.
Mr. Smith is unrestrained in his detailed documentation of Eisenhower's long adore event with his Irish troops driver, Kay Summersby (left)a liaison which! if it h ad become publicly known competence have dismantled his domestic ambitions, not to mention his marriage. It is a sign of a emotional complexity of a personality who was eminent for his sangfroid as well as self-control.
In assessing Eisenhower's dual presidential terms, Mr. Smith creates small bid to costume his admiration for a boss as well as his fear during a citation a Republican Party has taken in a years since. It's loyal which there have been some-more Reagan Republicans than Eisenhower Republicans in regressive circles today, though Mr. Smith underestimates a continuities between a dual many successful Republican presidents of a postwar era. And a principles Eisenhower espoused as well as characterizedstrong American care in a world, a obviously tangible though singular role for senior manager governmentare held by conservatives still.
Despite a spate of revisionist histories in recent decades, Eisenhower stays an enigma: A quiet male raised an image of roughly resting unconcern whose care won a tellurian war as well as helped secure for America its position as unequaled personality of a free world. Here was a Republican as well as regressive who took upon his own celebration in Congress as well as trounced his domestic opponents during roughly every turn. Here was a soldier who inveighed opposite a dangers of an overly militarized nation.
After his death, Ike's grandson, David, asked Mamie either she felt she had really known a man: "I'm not sure any one did," she replied.

Turkeys Nation of Faiths

Turkey's Nation of Faiths
by Blent Arn (03-02-12) in Ankara
After decades of official slight as good as mistrust, Turkey has taken multiform stairs to safeguard a rights of a country's non-Muslim eremite minorities, as good as thus to pledge which a order of law is practical equally for all Turkish citizens, in any case of individuals' religion, ethnicity, or language.
Turkey's eremite minorities embody Greek Orthodox, Armenian, Assyrian, Kaldani, as good as alternative Christian denominations, as good as Jews, all of whom are integral tools of Turkish society.
As partial of a Turkish government's new beginning to end any sort of discrimination opposite these non-Muslim communities, President Abdullah Gl has emphasized which summary by reception Bartholemew, a Greek-Orthodox Patriarch of Istanbul, as good as by upon vacation a church as good as a synagogue in Hatay a initial by a Turkish president.
In Aug 2009, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoan met with leaders of eremite minorities upon Bykada, a largest of a Prince Islands in a Sea of Marmara, as good as listened to their problems as good as concerns, a clear signal of his government's vigilant to strut their sense of polite inclusion. As Deputy Prime Minister, I met with member of eremite min! orities in Mar 2010, as good as visited a Armenian as good as Greek Orthodox Patriarchies in 2010 as good as 2011. Likewise, Turkey's apportion for European Union affairs, Egemen Ba, has met with these communities' leaders upon multiform occasions.
Beyond substantiating warm family between a Turkish supervision as good as a country's religious
minorities, official policy has been changing as well. In May 2010, Prime Minister Erdoan issued an official statement which warned open servants as good as adults opposite any discrimination opposite eremite minorities, as good as which emphasized a absolute equality of Turkey's non-Muslim citizens.
But a grounds for a beginning of new years was laid long before. In Aug 2003, a Erdoan-led supervision introduced authorised changes to finalise property-rights issues associated to eremite minority associations. For a initial time in a Republic's history, 365 landholdings as good as buildings belonging to a minority communities were legally registered under their name. In 2008, a government, notwithstanding fierce antithesis from alternative political parties, altered a Law of Associations as good as authorised religious-minority associations to squeeze real estate (and to receive contributions, in any case of size, from abroad).
Then, in Aug 2011, an critical legislative addition to a Associations law mandated a lapse of more than 350 properties to eremite minorities. As partial of these changes, a Greek-Orthodox Girls School in Beyolu, Istanbul, as good as a Jewish Community Center in Izmir have been postulated authorised status, ending a century-old dispute.
Even before that, in Nov 2010, a Greek-Orthodox Orphanage upon Halki Island was returned to a Greek-Orthodox Patriarchy. In order to facilitate their eremite duties, a Orthod! ox metro politans were postulated Turkish citizenship. Furthermore, a Associations Council, a country's highest authority upon eremite associations, now includes for a initial time a non-Muslim member representing minority faiths.
Moreover, a Directorate-General of Associations has been charged with a task of renovating houses of worship used by eremite minorities, including a ancestral Aya Nikola Church in Gkeada anakkale, as good as a Assyrian Catholic Church as good as Greek Catholic Church in Iskenderun. A number of alternative churches as good as synagogues are also under renovation.
The authorities have taken most alternative historically as good as symbolically critical stairs as well. The Ministry of Culture as good as Tourism has renovated a Panagia Smela Monastery, a 1,600-year-old church in Trabzon upon a Black Sea coast. The initial mass in decades was hold in Aug 2010, led by Bartholomew as good as attended by hundreds of worshippers from Greece, Russia, Georgia, Europe, a United States, as good as Turkey.
Another milestone was a renovation as good as opening of a 1,100-year old Armenian Aghtamar Church in Mar 2007. The initial mass in 95 years was hold in a church, led by a Armenian Archbishop Aram Ateyan as good as attended by thousands of worshippers.
These measures have been taken to address a long-standing problems of Turkey's non-Muslim eremite minorities. Turkish Muslims have lived with Jewish as good as Christian communities for centuries as good as treated with colour them with apply oneself as good as compassion. We are determined to compromise their superfluous problems, as good as you hold which you can do so by mutual certitude as good as cooperation. Turkey's Jews as good as Christians are full adults with equal rights, as good as you will work to safeguard which this reality is recognized in all areas of a country's life.

Daulat Dato Defacto Deformasi
Well, we knew he was Finance Minister in 1992, when a stupid forex gambling with public income went bust to waste of billions. But we wasn't certain either he was involved, most as he was a Finance Minister, so we gave him a benefit of a doubt by desiring which a forex fxxkup usually involved Dr M as well as a administrator of Bank Negara.
It incited out he was a forex f*up fibber. And who called him that? None alternative than Lim Kit Siang. Of march this was way back in 1994.
Extracts of Lim's main points which he told Parliament fromMalaysia-Today:
There have been two alternative reasons because Anwar Ibrahim contingency bear personal responsibility for Bank Negara's forex losses.
Anwar Ibrahim pronounced final week which he had destined Bank Negara to stop brazen unfamiliar sell trade when he discovered a forex waste eighteen months ago. If Bank Negara had followed his instructions to stop brazen forex trade in 1992, afterwards how could Bank Negara humour RM5.7 billion waste in 1993, upon top of a RM10.1 billion to RM13.1 billion waste in 1992?
Usualmanmanlai!
Furthermore, Anwar Ibrahim had misled Parliament final Jul when we questioned him either Bank Negara had suffered some-more forex losses. Anwar pronounced which this was not true as he had been monitoring a Bank Negara's forex exchange weekly.
On Jul 19, 1993, we asked Anwar Ibrahim a supplementary subject during subject time as to either during which date, Bank Negara's sustenance of Rm2.7 billion fortuitous guilt for for! ward for ex trade in a 1992 Bank Negara accounts had not usually been confirmed, but even s! ome-more forex waste had been incurred.
This is Anwar's reply, from a Hansard of 19th Jul 1993(p. 28):
"Dato Seri Anwar bin Ibrahim: Tua Yang di-Pertua, dukacita saya memaklumkan ini satu berita yang kurang baik bagi Yang Berhormat dari Tanjong. Kerugian yang dimaksudkan itu tidak berlaku dan tidak bertambah. Yang Berhormat mahu percaya atau tidak, tetapi saya ada maklumat yang sebenar tentang keadaan tersebut. Saya juga meneliti tiap-tiap minggu perkembangan kerana masalah yang dihadapi sebelum ini. Saya ingin member jaminan kepada Yang Berhormat bagi Tanjong bahawa perkara ini kita teliti lebih dekat dan kita lebih waspada kerana pengalaman yang lalu."
In this a single reduced answer, Anwar Ibrahim had misled Parliament as well as a republic upon three matters:[and because should be astounded wakakaka]
* which by Jul 1993, a sustenance in a 1992 Bank Negara accounts for RM2.7 billion fortuitous guilt for brazen forex trade had not been confirmed;
* which Bank Negara had not suffered some-more forex losses; and
* which his weekly monitoring of Bank Negara's forex exchange would prevent further colossal waste outset from Bank Negara's brazen forex trading.
If Anwar Ibrahim claims which he had destined Bank Negara to stop brazen forex trade eighteen months ago, as well as which "there have been no new trade arrangements" final year as a central bank unwound a brazen positions in a marketplace final year (Business Times April 6, 1994), afterwards Bank Negara should not have incurred RM5.7 billion when a fortuitous guilt sustenance for such brazen forex trade in end- 1992 was RM2.7 billion.[...]
Clearly Datuk Seri Anwar as well as Tan Sri Jaffar have been not telling a law as to when Bank Negara ceased new brazen forex trading.
"... not telling a law ..."means lying.
In ! Western democracy, when a single had been unprotected as having misled Parliament, a single would resign. Ya, for Mr Manmanlai, you cantankookoo!
According to Chandra Muzaffar's relevation inMalaysiakini'sWhy US 'deep state' prefers Anwar over Najib, he would have additionally misled Pak Haji Nik Aziz when he (Anwar) claimed his support for"all effortsto strengthen a security of a state of Israel"included a requirement for Israel to apply oneself a aspirations of a Palestinians. Apparently there wasn't such a settled condition in hsi talk withWSJ.
Whatever people might contend about Chandra Muzaffar, his past feat as Aliran founder as well as president speaks for his character. If he right away rubs shoulders with "Anwar Ibrahim" (and we lamentation that) he is no different from Nallakaruppan, both of whom hate Anwar Ibrahim as well as his inner sect for bloody-mindedly posing obstacles in their political career paths in PKR, but who additionally need a political height to attack Anwar Ibrahim as well as his blue-eye boy.
Unless a single is as rich as Zaid Ibrahim, a single cannot have one's own political platform, so a single seeks a 'enemy of my enemy' to grasp one's purpose.
But whatever, it had been Lim Kit Siang (and not Chandra Muzaffar, Nalla, Zaid or whoever) who suggested a world's greatest Finance Minsiter misled Parliament about a forex fxxkup.
Anwar's list ofmanmanlai'! achievem ents' during his time in "Anwar Ibrahim" in assorted ministerial purposes (and a following is not exhaustive) were:
Forex fxxkup
Subversion of democracy during a 1994 Sabah post-election choosing frogology
Sparking a onset of Ops Lallang by his sinister attempt to send non-Mandarin prepared headmasters to vernacular schools
Islamicdoarequirements during! propaga ndize to embody non Muslim students, effectively a proselytizing program
Shameful show of thuggery during Apcet II
Silence in a persecution as well as incarceration of Lim Guan Eng in a Melaka orthodox rape box where overpower was agreement
