Pakatan's RM207 billion railway project

In Malaysias case, a separate agreement was reached in Jul 1967: a sum of M$25mil (Malaysian ringgit) was presented to be used to squeeze two ocean-going vessels from Japan.There was, however, a little wangling before a agreement was essentially signed. The Japanese Government demanded which a Malaysian Government pledge it would make no further demands. This was rejected by a Malaysian Government. It was not until September 1967 which a agreement was sealed after Japan withdrew which demand. The two governments, however, did agree which a gift of M$25mil would be a final and finish settlement of a unpleasant events of a Japanese Occupation.

Nizar's Death knell.Since losing his MB post, Nizar has struggled to sojourn politically relevant. We can assimilate which he wants to hit behind at his political foes. But making use of victims of a Death Railway from a World War II era? It reminds me of Hindraf's trillion-dollar claim from Britain behind in 2007, as if to recompense living Malaysian Indians whose ancestors were brought to this land, as if by force, to work a colonial masters' estates. Nizar's RM207 billion is smaller than Hindraf's though his goals have been as lofty: air blower a sentiments of a Malays, who represent a considerably bigger voting bottom than a Indians, and try and! measure points against a Federal Government (note a anxiety to ETP below!):

Mengikut rekod persatuan bekas buruh paksa ini, jumlah 30,000 buruh ini melibatkan 60 peratus bangsa Melayu, 20 peratus India, 15 peratus Cina dan 5 peratus bangsa lain. Nizar yang juga Ajk PAS Pusat berkata, dengan jumlah RM207 bilion itu setiap keluarga dianggarkan layak menerima sehingga RM3 juta wang pampasan. Banyak! pemberian pampasan ini kepada mangsa lebih baik dari ETP yang dibuat oleh kerajaan, sekurang-kurangnya dapat mengatasi sedikit masalah ekonomi orang Melayu, katanya.

As with Hindraf, we will shortly learn of Nizar's only bulletin here, ie his political survival. Wisma Putra will undoubtedly come out with an central matter though before they do, SatD rings Nizar's genocide knell in his latest posting Japanese WWII reparations: Are PR politicians upon LSD?

SatD's articles are, as always, meticulous in his investigate so think before we leave comments h e r e.
