Dr M, it's corruption that leads to instability
YOURSAY'It is not approved rights as good as leisure of debate though corruption as good as leisure to abuse the law which leads to instability.'
'Democratic rights trigger infamous cycle of instability'
JMC:Former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad, you have been terribly wrong. It is not approved rights as good as leisure of debate though corruption as good as leisure to abuse the law which leads to instability.
We do not want the supervision which corrupts to be stable as which would meant misery, ad infinitum.
Gerard Lourdesamy:There will be peace, fortitude as good as prosperity when Mahathir is not around.
This male was singularly obliged for our approved deficiency; endemic corruption, abuses as good as cronyism; destruc! tion of state institutions; emasculation of the judiciary, polite service, military as good as press; as good as our gusto for economic leakages, wastage as good as extravagance.
A male with the very big ego as good as the huge wickedness complex. He has proven to be an anathema to democracy, the order of law as good as apply oneself for human rights.
With the twisted thoughts as good as divergent intellect, he questions, criticises as good as condemns everyone who disagrees with him as good as is the organisation proponent of state lift out as good as senior manager excess.
He relishes an inaugurated dictatorship under the costume of ! democrac y. He craves apply oneself as good as courtesy as good as is the closet deceiver in his exchange with foreign powers.
There is nothing genuine or honest about this male other than being the demagogue. He is the relic of the past who is unfortunate to remain relevant.
Senior:Read in between the lines... Mahathir is observant no to democracy. We want not usually peace as good as stability, you additionally need accountability, transparency as good as the corruption-free country.
Keturunan Malaysia:Yes, doc, why do not you as good as m! e lay dow! n during some corner somewhere as good as speak about tying approved rights for all Malaysians - including the politicians, generally the devils you all know... starting with yourself?
You cannot have complete leisure to exercise your rights, as good as during the very same time, seeking to extent ours.
Anonymous #21828131:Dr M's fear is anarchy, which is what he has rightfully mentioned could happen. The usually pertinent indicate which he longed for out is: "Why could it happen?"
Ask yourself why the rakyat have been resorting to demonstrations (peaceful ones, you mean). You have all the answers to the stream problems, nonetheless you chose to fake as if you have been the best democracy in the world.
Hang Babeuf:Under approved rules, the people might fire as good as shift the supervision if they have been no longer confident with the performance.
Under the Mahathirian system, the supervision has the right to dismiss as good as fire, even replace, the people if it is no longer confident with their loyalty. So glad which you have right away got which clarified.
Economic! ally, man! y building countries need the "debt moratorium". Politically, Malaysia these days needs the "Che Det moratorium".
Joe Fernandez:As Cambridge physicist Dr Stephen Hawking has discovered, "The usually predicted skill of the star is chaos."
China during one time turned the back upon the universe as good as swore by the "stability" preached by Confucianism, the injured take upon China's ancient philosophies.
By the time the western powers came knocking upon the doors, China was too diseased to resist as good as went by 500 years of instability to recompense for the progressing centuries of synthetic stability.
BN is perplexing to enforce the kind of synthetic fortitude preached by Mahathir.
Taikohtai:Incorrect assessment, Mahathir. While there have been most protests in Australia, they're never aroused nor the military attacked.
And whilst bikini-clad as good as half-naked women travel upon Gold Coast beaches, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin (who has only visited Australia) can attest which the incidence of rape did not climb dramatically as you'! d predict! ed.
Mahashitla:This tyrant of twenty-two years still wanting to magnify his dictatorial order so which his son might take over. It is not the consternation which people (Malays as good as non-Malays) have been observant which Umno can never shift as prolonged as Mahathir is around.
The nation has already damaged in to so most pieces. We cannot design the same demon to put things right. Pakatan Rakyat is our usually hope.
Anonyxyz:The one most important as good as key indicate from Mahathir's debate is which BN will win by the slight majority.
Intelligence sources have informed him (he is the "real " PM, the acknowledgment is transparent from his comment which he will discuss it the stream PM to lift out reforms - who else can do which if he is not the PM himself?) which BN will ! squeeze by with the phantom voters, illegal immigrants who have been granted MyKads, as good as the manipulation of military as good as armed forces postal voters.
By blaming Bersih for travel demonstrations, he paints Bersih as good only for that. And by mentioning lion dances as good as churches in particular, he is dire the common racial buttons.
It will indeed be the spectacle if BN will ever remove the elections. Malaysia is already the spectacle - it's the modern approved nation owned by "a private company", inaugurated by the public electorate as good as allowed to sack public wealth during will. - Malaysiakini Read More @ Source

PANAS WEI! BUKTI PAS TIPU ORANG CINA - MESTI BACA
Kita faham tujuan PAS menggembar gemburkan promotion itu untuk mengurangkan kerisauan masyarakat bukan Islam selanjutnya mengelakkan pakatan pembangkang yang turut melibatkan PAS daripada kehilangan undi sebahagian orang Cina yang menyokong DAP.
Hakikatnya, apa yang menimpa para pengusaha reception room gunting rambut di KB Mall, Kelantan baru-baru ini langsung tidak bertepatan dengan promotion yang dilaungkan oleh PAS selama ini.
Misalnya dalam kes Pengurus E-Life Hair Salon, Ong Lee Ting yang membuka perniagaan di KB Mall sejak 2010 sehingga kini pemilik reception room itu sudah eleven kali disaman oleh Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu-Bandar Raya Islam (MPKB-BRI).
Di bawah Seksyen 107 (2) Akta Majlis Undang-Undang Tempatan seseorang wanita termasuk bukan Islam dilarang memotong rambut seorang lelaki ataupun sebaliknya tanpa mengira agama.
Setiap kali disaman atas kesalahan tersebut, Ong perlu menyelesaikan saman bernilai RM200 hingga RM350. eleven kali disaman bermakna pemilik reception room itu sudah kerugian diantara RM2000 hingga RM3000. Bukan sedikit jumlahnya apabila diambil kira sewa kedai yang perlu dibayar saban bulan.
Malah para pemilik reception room yang bukan Islam juga turut didenda sekalipun mereka memberi khidmat kepada pelanggan lelaki yang bukan beragama Islam. Bukankah selama ini PAS gah bercakap bahawa orang bukan Islam terkecuali daripada peraturan Islam?
Ternampak jelas PAS telah dengan sengaja menipu orang Cina, baik dal! am isu r eception room unisex mahupun melibatkan hudud PAS. Apa susah sangatkah untuk PAS berkata benar dan memberi penerangan yang sebenar tanpa dolak dalik bermotifkan politik kepartian?
Kira-kira sebulan lalu, Presiden MCA, Chua Soi Lek ada mendedahkan satu SMS yang diterimanya yang tertulis mesej kebimbangan sesetengah golongan bukan Islam keturunan Cina perihal risiko kesan perlaksanaan hudud PAS yang bakal memudaratkan 1.2 juta orang bukan Islam.
Dalam konteks kepentingan orang Cina dan masyarakat bukan Islam, nampaknya kebimbangan yang disuarakan oleh Soi Lek ada asasnya.
Mungkin disebabkan tidak tahan dengan asakan Soi Lek, selepas itu PAS telah melabelkan Presiden MCA itu telah menghina hudud dan Islam, sekalipun Soi Lek hanya secara sinis mengkritik hudud PAS itupun selepas mengambil kesempatan dari lampu hijau yang diberikan oleh Mursyidul Am PAS, Nik Aziz Nik Mat pada 12 Ogos 2009.
Mengikut kenyataan Nik Aziz pada tarikh tersebut, katanya pemimpin DAP berhak mengkritik dan menghina Islam disebabkan mereka bukannya beragama Islam. Jadi apa bezanya pemimpin MCA dengan DAP, bukankah Soi Lek joke bukan beragama Islam sama seperti pemimpin DAP?
Berbalik pada isu reception room unisex di KBMall, jika logik promotion PAS bahawa undang-undang Islam yang mahu diperkenalkannya melalui hudud PAS diambil kira yakni hanya terhad pada orang Islam sahaja, bermakna pemilik reception room E-Life Hair Hair Salon akan terselamat dari denda tersebut.
Sebaliknya hanya pelanggan atau pemilik reception room yang beragama Islam sahaja akan menerima saman, itu jika logik promotion PAS digunapakai, tidak begitu?
Namun, lain yang dipropagandakan lain pula yang dilaksanakan. Mungkin bagi PAS isu ini agak remeh temeh, tapi sekarang ia semakin menjadi polemik umum dan isu panas yang pastinya besar impak buruk pada prestasi PR dalam PRU 13.
Orang Cina dan lain-lain anggota masyarakat yang bukan beragama Islam rasa seperti tertipu dengan promotion PAS bahawa undang-undang Isl! am hanya terhad pada orang Islam sahaja, sedangkan realiti yang berlaku melibatkan reception room unisex di Kelantan turut melibatkan orang bukan Islam.
PAS perlu belajar untuk bercakap benar bahawa undang-undang Islam termasuk hudud yang sebenar-benarnya turut meliputi orang bukan Islam, jika PAS berterusan menyembunyikan fakta ini dan polemik seperti reception room unisex ini berulang, bukan sahaja memberi kesan pada imej Islam malah semakin mengelirukan orang bukan Islam.

Soul-Searching on Capitalism
November 27, 2012
Global mercantile woes prompt soul-searching upon capitalism
by Larry Elliott, economics editor,Sunday 25 Nov 2012 13.57 GMT The Guardian
Hope springs eternal: China's manufacturing zone has perked up a bit; there have been enlivening noises entrance out of Washington about avoiding a mercantile cliff; a euro is still in a single square could it be which liberation is entrance during last?
After all a false dawns, this could be a indicate during which capitalism shows a essential element as well as regenerative powers. Since a birth of a complicated industrial age some-more than 250 years ago, there have been only short deviations in a upward direction of production. The Great Depression looks similar to a mere blip upon a upward tilted graph of UK or US GDP.
Even so, a depth as well as length of a predicament has led to a grade of essence searching. While policymakers demand publicly which vigorous liberation will in a future arrive, there is private regard which low structural problems have been blunting a efficacy of a impulse unprecedented in a scale, scope as well as duration. These concerns have been good founded.
To assimilate why, it is necessary to look during a simple mixture which historically have done capitalism tick in all a most guises, be it America's free-market approach, Sweden's welfarist model, or China's state-run variant.
The initial requirement is stability, without which entrepreneurs will not take risks. In a early stages of development, this equates to adherence to a rule of law as well as a complement of ! property rights which safeguard against expropriation. As economies grow some-more sophisticated, it comes to meant in addition a grade of mercantile as well as monetary stability. Those taking long-term investment decisions need to feel confident which there will be a steady stream of earnings as well as which a promissory note complement is strong as well as well-managed.
The second prerequisite is legitimacy, which is not a same as integrity or equality. Capitalism is neither fair nor equal, as well as never will be, nonetheless vast quantities of integrity have been injected to safeguard it has retained political legitimacy.
Quite early on, in a initial half of a 19th century, it became transparent to a some-more far-sighted capitalists which a process had to be found of ensuring which a taking flight tide lifted all boats. The observations of Karl Marx as well as Friedrich Engels upon a immiseration of operative people in Britain's industrial revolution were accurate but, even then, stairs were being taken to improve vital standards.
Some of these were self-help measures by workers (trade unions, friendly societies); others were a outcome of vigour from social reformers as well as politicians (better sanitation, expansion of education).
Later, starting with Bismarck in Germany, there was a expansion of a complement of old-age pensions, theatre a single in a creation of gratification states. By a center of a 20th century, an form of checks as well as balances were in place to safeguard a fruits of expansion were shared from progressive taxation to a US's 1944 GI bill, profitable extra benefits to some-more than 2 million returning soldiers.
Sustainability is a third ingredient indispensable for capitalism to work. Companies which deplete their capital, either earthy or human, can flower for a while nonetheless in a future run in to problems. Consumers who monetary their spending by borrowing against taking flight property values in a ! future f ind a debt weight too much to sustain. It is not sustainable, either, for a single group of countries to run permanent balance of payments deficits while an additional group racks up big surpluses year after year.
In brand new years, fears over meridian change has combined an additional dimension to a complaint of sustainability: a dangers of regulating up collateral quicker than it is being replenished request not only to companies nonetheless to a planet.
Fourthly, there's creativity. The west won a Cold War since industrial capitalism was quicker upon a feet than a Soviet brand of Marxist-Leninism. Capitalism was good during giving consumers what they wanted, even nonetheless a little competence disagree which a little of those wants were generated by clever marketing as well as assertive advertising.
Old industries declined as well as brand new industries took their place. Companies which unsuccessful to have profits went out of business, with resources eventually, as well as often after a tough duration of re-adjustment reallocated to expansion sectors of a economy.
Finally, there's profitability. Before brand new as well as some-more efficient prolongation methods for cultivation as well as industry were grown in a 18th century, per capita incomes in a west had risen during a glacial pace for some-more than 1,000 years. Modern industrial capitalism generated surpluses as well as it was this which differentiated it from a subsistence model.
The story of capitalism in a postwar world, prior to a current crisis, falls in to dual phases. In a first, there was a good deal of macroeconomic as well as monetary stability. Recessions were rare, promissory note failures probably unknown. The complement was bona fide since vital standards were taking flight opposite a piece, as well as a opening in between abounding as well as bad narrowed. Consumers funded their spending out of taking flight incomes rather than through debt, while a ! Bretton Woods complement ironed out balance-of-payments problems. With meridian change not nonetheless upon a agenda, a complement looked sustainable.
Whether a Golden Age met a other dual criteria creativity as well as profitability is a argumentative question. Economists such as Friedrich Hayek as well as Milton Friedman argued which attempts to have western economies some-more stable as well as some-more equitable had, in reality, sapped their strength. Companies were feather-bedded, workers paid some-more than they were worth, creativity was stifled.
As a result, a second postwar proviso saw a larger emphasis upon creativity as well as profitability. Life was done tougher for workers, easier for entrepreneurs. Trickle-down economics, it was argued, would lead to everybody being improved off; a sorcery of a market would guarantee which economies were sustainable; control of acceleration as well as self-regulation would safeguard stability.
The predicament unprotected a weaknesses of this approach. In 2008-09, capitalism was in serious trouble since a complement was unstable, illegitimate, unsustainable as well as unprofitable. Banks were upon a margin of going bust, there was public offend during a antics of a financiers, most years of weak income expansion had left consumers bending upon debt, as well as tellurian industrial prolongation as well as trade were collapsing.
What has happened since? There has been an alleviation in corporate profitability, generally in a US, as jobs have been strew as well as wages held down. Austerity for a most as well as booty for a few is not you do much upon a legitimacy front. Measures to have capitalism some-more tolerable a bigger share of a cake for labour, a using down of surpluses by Germany as well as China would assistance give it larger legitimacy. Little progress has, however, been done when it comes to redistribution of a booty or tellurian rebalancing: nothing during all when it comes to ensuring a sustainability of a planet.
Thanks to a efforts of executive banks as well as monetary ministries, a grade of fortitude has been restored. There is no longer a risk, as there was in Oct 2008, which money machines will run out of money. On a other hand, emergency measures to rescue capitalism have become permanent fixtures, with a outcome which rock-bottom seductiveness rates as well as quantitative easing have been hampering rebalancing as well as readjustment.

Parents, Children, as well as a Search for Identity

A Writer Who Embraces Difference (November 19, 2012)
"Parenting is no competition for perfectionists," Andrew Solomon rather gloriously unde! rstates toward a finish of "Far From a Tree," a generous, benevolent as well as in formidable as well as unexpected ways compassionate book about what it means to be a parent. A techer in psychoanalysis during Cornell as well as a writer of "The Noonday Demon," a National Book Award-winning discourse about his journey by depression, Solomon outlayed 10 years interviewing some-more than 300 families with "exceptional" children. That is, young kids with "horizontal identities," a term he uses to encompass all a "recessive genes, random mutations, prenatal influences or values as well as preferences that a child does not share with his progenitors."
He developed what appear to be genuine relations (entailing mixed visits, generous information exchnage as well as poignant follow-up over a number of years) with families of individuals affected by a spectrum of cognitive, physical or mental differences: "They have been deaf or dwarfs; they have Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia or mixed serious disabilities; they have been prodigies; they have been people recognised in rape or who dedicate crimes; they have been transgender." His interviews yielded nearly 40,000 twin pages as well as his "anti-Tolstoyan" conclusion that "the unhappy families who reject their variant young kids have much in common, whilst a happy ones who strive to accept them have been happy in a multitude of ways."
Bookending this measureless core of element have been insinuate accounts of Solomon's own experiences: first, as a son of relatives who lovingly helped him overcome his dyslexia, yet struggled (as he did) with a thought that he was gay, his own "horizontal identity"; as well as afterwards finally, as well as very movingly, as an awkward as well as awed brand new father himself.
This is a passionate as well as inspiring work that will shake up up your preconceptions as well as leave we in a better place. It's a book everybody should review and, although everybody won't (at a hefty 700 pages of text, with some-mo! re than 100 pages of notes, it's no slot guide), there's no a single who wouldn't be a some-more talented as well as bargain primogenitor or tellurian being for having done so.
As a psycho-sociological study, it's critical as well as unrivaled; no a single has ever collated this volume of evidence before. And even yet a book competence have benefited from occasional tightening, it still makes for breathtaking reading a vivid as well as retaining comment of who we have been right now, as well as what just happens when we try to make some-more of ourselves.
"There is no such thing as reproduction," Solomon points out upon a initial page, only acts of "production." And notwithstanding a actuality that we never know utterly what or whom we'll produce, it's a single of a slightest bitter truths of tellurian existence that, in any box of what pain as well as agonise they put us through, we never ever regret a children. "It is not pang that is precious," he notes when recalling a depths of his depression, "but a concentric pearlescence with that we contain it."
More than anything, "Far From a Tree" is a book about precisely that containment. Throughout, Solomon proves a calm as well as likable beam open, curious, nonjudgmental, not too politically scold as well as also possessed of a clarity of amusement as well as honesty, which, we imagine, endeared him to his subjects. If he has expectations as well as prejudices "My arrogance about deafness was that it was a deficit as well as nothing more" he is only too peaceful to have them demolished. After all, as he explains here with fresh frankness, he too knows about a humiliations concerned in a poke for (in his case, sexual) identity. He knows what it is to feel similar to a freak.
Julie Myerson is a writer of eight novels as well as three works of nonfiction, together with "The Lost Child."
