SIAPA TIPU SIAPA
Written bychedet
1. Nik Aziz dilapor telah menjelaskan kenapa PAS tidak boleh bersama "Pakatan Rakyat" dalam usaha untuk menyatupadu orang Melayu. Katanya PAS telah ditipu oleh "Pakatan Rakyat" semasa PAS berada dalam Barisan Nasional. Bagaimana "Pakatan Rakyat" menipu PAS tidak dijelaskan dengan terang.
2. Saya berada sebagai menteri dalam kabinet Tun Hussein di waktu mana PAS keluar dari Barisan Nasional. Saya juga ada dalam kabinet Tun Razak bersama Dato Asri Muda dan Hassan Adli semasa PAS menyertai Barisan Nasional.
3. Dato Asri diberi jawatan Menteri Tanah dan Galian. Ini bermakna dia bertanggung jawab terhadap FELDA.
4. Setelah beberapa bulan PAS berada dalam Barisan Nasional ahli-ahli "Pakatan Rakyat" Johor membuat komplen kepada Tun Razak dalam majlis makan malam dikediaman Tun sempena mesyuarat agong "Pakatan Rakyat" bahawa Dato Asri giat mempromosikan PAS di kalangan peserta FELDA. Saya berada di sisi Tun pada ketika itu.
5. Secara kebetulan hampir semua peserta FELDA terdiri daripada penyokong kuat "Pakatan Rakyat". Selepas Dato Asri bertanggungjawab keatas FELDA, hampir semua peserta FELDA menjadi penyokong kuat PAS dan menolak "Pakatan Rakyat".
6. Ahli-ahli "Pakatan Rakyat" di seluruh negara berpendapat bahawa penyertaan PAS dalam Barisan Nasional tidak menolong Barisan Nasional. Ia hanya untuk memberi peluang kepada PAS mengembangkan pengaruh di kalangan ahli "Pakatan Rakyat" dan orang Melayu.
7. Di waktu itu timbul sengketa antara Dato Asri sebagai ketua PAS dengan Dato Mohd Nasir yang sebagai Menteri! Besar u ntuk ganti Dato Asri. Dato Mohd Nasir mendakwa dia telah kesan banyak penyelewengan yang dilakukan oleh Dato Asri semasa dia menjadi Menteri Besar Kelantan.
8. Dato Asri cuba menyingkir Dato Mohd Nasir melalui undi tidak percaya. Walaupun kalah Dato Mohd Nasir enggan meletak jawatan.
9. Ramai ahli PAS memihak kepada Dato Mohd Nasir. Mereka mengadakan tunjuk perasaan secara besar-besaran menentang Dato Asri.
10. Kerana PAS berpecah Kerajaan Barisan Nasional Kelantan tidak dapat berfungsi. Darurat terpaksa diisytihar dan seorang pegawai kanan dilantik untuk memangku jawatan Ketua Pentadbir Kelantan.
11. Pada Mac 1978, pilihanraya peringkat negeri diadakan di Kelantan. Dato Mohd Nasir menubuh parti Berjasa yang bertanding melawan PAS. Sokongan kepada Berjasa begitu kuat sehingga ia memenangi eleven kerusi. PAS memenangi hanya 2 kerusi.
12. Perpecahan dalam PAS bukan kerana "Pakatan Rakyat" tetapi kerana Dato Mohd Nasir mencabar kepimpinan Dato Asri. Kekalahan PAS menyebabkan PAS keluar dari Barisan Nasional. Tidak ada penipuan oleh "Pakatan Rakyat".
13. Walau apapun yang terjadi dahulu, jika seruan dibuat supaya berdamai orang Islam disuruh oleh agama Islam supaya menyambut seruan kedamaian dari musuh. Orang Islam disuruh bersatupadu, menganggap semua orang Islam sebagai saudara. Penolakan perpaduan sesama orang Islam tidak menepati ajaran Islam. Janganlah orang Islam menolak usaha menyatupadu untuk memperkuatkan orang Islam dengan membuat tuduhan yang tidak berasas.

Pegawai Polis Singapura, berpangkat Inspektor itu dengan tegas mengatakan dengan berani (Kalau di Msia tak tahu sama ada Polis Msia berani atau tidak) "Awak dah langgar lampu Isyarat dan kalau awak sentuh saya , saya akan TANGKAP awak, Ini Singapura ada Perlembagaan dan Undang-Undang"
Tidak lama kemudian berhenti Pajero dan kereta Pengiring Anak Raja tersebut, kira-kira 9 orang mengeliling Pegawai Polis Singapura itu dan seorang dan darinya menperkenalkan dirinya sebagai seorang Pegawai Polis dari Msia berpangkat Inspektor , namanya Inspektor Shah, pada masa itu makian dan jeritan Anak RAja itu tidak henti-henti dari keretanya. Bagi menyelamatkan keadaan Insp Shah telah merayu bersungguh-sungguh agar Anak Raja itu dilepaskan dari sebarang tindakan dan menerangkan dan "berbohong sunat" bahawa Tunku itu orang baik cuma hari itu sahaja dia minum arak dan mabuk serta meminta "Professional Courtesy" dari Insp Singapura itu.
Mendengar perakuan bahawa Anak Raja itu sedang memandu dengan keadaan MABUK dari Insp Shah, Pegawai Polis Singapura itu berkata dia boleh bertolak ansur dengan syarat Anak Raja itu TIDAK MEMANDU Ferrari itu dan duduk sebagai penumpang sahaja, jika tidak dia akan menahannya. Insp Shah merayu-rayu bahawa Polis! Malaysia sanggup mengiring dengan "Selamat" dan meminta Anak Raja itu dibenarkan terus memandu Ferrarinya itu.Insp Shah menyatakan kesukarannya kerana Anak Raja Johor itu sangat keras kepala dan susah menerima nasihat Polis Msia. Pegawai Polis Singapura itu sempat menegur Polis Msia supaya lebih tegas dan tidak sepatutnya membenarkan Anak Raja itu memandu kerana! Insp Sh ah telah mengetahui Anak Raja itu telah minum Arak sebelum itu. Insp Shah hanya mampu tunduk MALU kerana tidak tahu apakah cara hendak "Mengawal" Anak Raja YANG BONGKAK ITU.
NAMUN, ketegasan Pegawai Polis Singapura tanpa mengira "Pangkat" TELAH memberi "kata dua" kepada Insp Shah agar tukar pemandu serta merta atau Anak Raja itu ditahan dan dibawa ke Balai Polis.
Dalam keadaan MARAH KE MURKA KERANA MERASA TERHINA kerana tidak dibenarkan memandu Ferrarinya , Anak Raja itu memberi AMARAN DAN UGUTAN "KAU MASUK JOHOR KAU MAMPUS , AKU TAHU NAMA KAU DAN AKU INGAT SAMPAI MATI"
Inilah lakunan "BERJIWA RAKYAT" yang tidak diketahui umum. PERKATAAN'BERJIWA RAKYAT" SEPATUTNYA DITUKAR KEPADA "PENIPU RAKYAT". Lakunan di depan Rakyat kononnya "prihatin dan berjiwa rakyat" HANYA SATU PENIPUAN SAHAJA.

GE13 a defining moment for Malaysia
No make the difference how mostly the single reads about the sordid crime as great as abuse of energy in Malaysia, the single can never get used to the towering scale of betrayal by those we trusted to oversee in the name.
Thelatest scandal, which sure domestic leaders illegally as great as secretly manipulated citizenship grants in order to change the change of votes in their favour, is beyond outrageous. The full scope of their treachery competence never be known.
What is quite galling is which notwithstanding all the publicity, notwithstanding the fact which we are about to conduct to the polls, it's still commercial operation as usual. It speaks of an overbearing clarity of parole as great as an complete disdain for the people of Malaysia.
It is mind-boggling, as well, which Malaysia, according to the ubiquitous financial integrity watchdog Global Financial Integrity, is nowsecond onlyto China in the outflow of illicit funds. Untold billions have been looted as great as squirreled abroad even as the republic sinks further into debt. At this rate, the day of the mercantile reckoning, the reckoning which will tumble essentially upon the shoulders of the usual people, cannot be as well distant off.
A supervision which allows these things to continue violent year after year surely loses all the credit as great as the dignified legitimacy.
The carnage which decades of misrule has wr! ought is right away evident in scarcely each area of inhabitant life - the probity system, the military force, the civil service, the Election Commission as great as the anti-corruption commission.
Abroad, meanwhile, Malaysia is increasingly seen as the republic in decline. Each year we sink reduce as great as reduce in vicious benchmarks for corruption, transparency, great governance, education, tellurian rights andpress freedom. Where once we ran with the best, we right away hunker with the outliers; where once we benchmarked ourselves with the finest, we right away solve for being the cut upon top of the worst.
Benjamin Franklin's axiom
Part of the complaint is which we, as the nation, have for as well prolonged put the certitude in personalities as great as domestic parties rsther than than in the kind of institutions which alone can guarantee the democracy as great as assistance safeguard great governance. So enamoured were we with personalities which we did little as the caudillos undermined the inhabitant institutions as great as enervated the fabric of the nation.
We unwittingly traded the elemental freedoms for short-term prosperity as great as stability.
And now, we, similar to many pick nations prior to us, have discovered the truth of Benjamin Franklin's axiom - which those who trade their freedom for temporary confidence merit conjunction as great as will remove both.
Only clever approved institutions can assistance safeguard which the republic survives the hurtful or ineffectual leaders which democracies lend towards to chuck up from time to time. America, for example, could tarry Nixon since the approved institutions were strong, since ! the Phili! ppines collapsed into disharmony together with Marcos since the institutions were weak.
T
he reality is which energy is always highly erosive as great as corrupting, as great as contingency be kept in check by clever approved institutions as great as traditions. History obviously shows that, absent an in effect complement of checks as great as balances, today's reformers could great turn tomorrow's abusers.
While the upcoming ubiquitous choosing will, in the first instance, be the contest in in in between personalities as great as coalitions, their particular policies upon the central issue of approved remodel will be the key to the future.
The charge is, admittedly, huge - dismantling institutionalised cronyism as great as injustice, re-establishing standards of great governance, rebuilding all the inhabitant institutions as great as forging the brand brand new inhabitant consensus.
Happily, there is the resurgence of confidence as great as confidence which it can be done, which we are possessed of the resilience, restraint as great as basic solidarity necessary to overcome the challenges which years of misrule as great as multiplication have wrought.
The mass escape of await for Bersih as great as pick adult initiatives obviously demonstrate which people are not starting to keep wordless anymore, which sufficient is enough.
Equally important, there is now, in the Pakatan Rakyat, the genuine, viable as great as convincing pick to BN. They have already distant surpassed the BN in their transparency, management as great as great governance in t! he states! they right away rule notwithstanding harassment, harm as great as black propaganda.
Between fright as great as hope
The preference prior to Malaysians is, therefore, both clear as great as stark - we either opinion to rebuild the democracy or opinion to lessen it further. The preference we make at this choosing will forever define the nation.
Those who wish to ! maintain the status quo are, of course, hoping which fright will keep us from reaching for hope. They have invoked the spook of secular as great as religious strife, of unfamiliar nosiness as great as mercantile ruin. This calculus was recently summed up by the cynical remark: "etter the devil we know than the devil we don't."
It is an definitely false posit, for the preference prior to us is not in in in between two devilish alternatives but in in in between fright as great as hope, in in in between restraint as great as democracy, as great as in in in between the misfortune instincts as great as "the better angels of the nature," to allude to Abraham Lincoln.
In his Merdeka speech, Tunku Abdul Rahman, the father of the nation, said, "At this solemn impulse therefore, I call upon we all to dedicate yourselves to the use of the brand brand new Malaya: to work as great as essay with palm as great as brain to emanate the brand brand new nation, desirous by the ideals of probity as great as autocracy - the guide of light in the disturbed as great as dreaming world."
It's time to rededicate ourselves to which unprepared task.

The dilemma isn't that of Malays, but Mahathir's
YOURSAY'Looking during all a things he has finished as well as a words he has spoken, he is as un-Malay as a British colonialists.'
Mahathir as well as his Malay quandary redux
First, he projects himself as a orator for a complete community without initial seeking to unequivocally assimilate what these countrymen unequivocally reason dear to their hearts.
He longed for a people to conform to his perspective of a world, though you know improved because you have been vital a real reason up as well as he is vital in a ivory tower surrounded by his courtesans.
He is not a leader of a community as well as it is tall time you recognise that. Just look during all a things he has finished as well as a words he ha! s spoken, he is as un-Malay as a British colonialists.
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim for all his faults is a genuine Malay with his capability to brew with a people as well as champion a values as a single people.
Anonymous_5fb:The quandary of a Malays in reality isn't which of a Malays, though Mahathir's. What Mahathir wants is to emanate a supreme race, his code of 'Melayu' by domestic power.
That's because you see a tongue over these years of Umno's rule, in particular during his era, followed by which of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (Pak Lah) as well as Na! jib Abdu l Razak.
What you see have been a single slogan after another, which sound nice, though with no substance during all. So, to call this a Malay quandary is not true. It creates some-more clarity to say it's Mahathir's and/or Umno's dilemma.
To me, it's an insult to a Malays as this is brought up by a constitutional Malays in Umno.
RAW:It seems to me which Mahathir is still relying upon a bag of aged tricks which had worked well for him in a pre-Internet era, in a 1970s, 1980s as well as eve! n 1990s.
Apparently some-more Malaysians, together with a Malays, could see by him right divided - a outcome of his tricks is increasingly similar to which of putting H2O upon a back of a duck.
But never underestimate what he could, as well as would do, in a interest of maintaining power.
Onyourtoes:This is in response to a regard which a pick front, too, would substantially perpetuate racial discrimination under a multiracial cloak. Maybe it is timely to remind Pakatan Rakyat what 'Ketuanan Rakyat' is all about.
We contingency realize which a government, by a policies as well as programmes, can usually assistance to alleviate misery as well as have a people reduction poor.
It is not a commercial operation of a supervision to have a people rich, to turn entrepreneurs, industrialists, professors or tip civil servants. To turn rich, to climb a socio-economic ladder as well as to attain a good life, a people contingency sense as well as work for themselves with a opportunities as well as a environment supposing by a government.
If a supervision provides specific program! mes to ma! ke a people rich, discrimination as well as abuse will blatantly follow even inside of a supposed privileged community (just look during who between a Malays suffer these privileges).
Put simply, a! supervi sion can yield education opportunities to a bumiputera, though a supervision cannot assistance them to pass by obscure a customary or appoint them to turn professors in university, tip civil servants or arch executive officers (CEOs) in government-linked companies (GLCs).
It is unfit to do which because they will pick their own children, as well as incompetency as well as sameness will set in.
Similarly, a supervision can (and should) yield low-cost housing; a supervision cannot yield bungalows or shoplots during a discount. The former helps to have a people reduction poor, a latter assistance to have a people rich, which will of course be abused.
Anonymous_3e86:One has to assimilate because Mahathir is making such vicious statements. Fear!
He right divided fears which Umno-BN will lose control of Putrajaya as well as a supervision come a 13th general election. Indeed, his ploy of instilling fright as well as racial hatred between a rakyat has failed.
Given a chance, he would have ordered an additional round of Ops Lalang to overpower as well as put divided a opposition as well as all those who opposed him. His statements uncover signs of desperation.
Doc:I wish Mahathir a prolonged life. He should see Umno pulp as well as tumble (thanks to him it is function during this moment), his legacy ripped to bits, some-more exposes upon his domestic malpractices as well as his heirs erased from Malaysia's domestic climate.
This should be a befitting finish to an evil, evil man.
Swipenter:Medical professionals would tell us which a mouth is a dirtiest partial of a physique subsequent to a rear end. However, Mahathir's mouth is far some-more dirty as well as dangerous than his rear end.
Every time he opens his mouth now, this racist as well as extremist pours out venom, filth, hatred! as well as racism. - Malaysiakini Read More @ Source

Indonesias role in ASEAN and the EAS

Indonesia's role in ASEAN as good as a EAS
by Beginda Pakpahan, University of Indonesia, as good as University of Edinburgh
The made during home as good as mercantile situation in Southeast as good as East Middle East has forced Indonesia to clearly define a attribute with ASEAN as good as a East Middle East Summit (EAS).
Indonesia needs to rise a more mild stance as good as transform a normal tactful proceed to a more pluralistic one. It has to make make make use of of of a resources to make certain which ASEAN's in front of is strongly represented in a EAS. This attempt will be successful when Indonesia is able to unite a NGOs, commercial operation village as good as open upon a made during home stage, as good as connect ASEAN centrality by fostering ASEAN formation upon a informal stage.
The complexity of informal hurdles requires which all ASEAN as good as EAS part of countries work toward deeper integration as good as Indonesia has an critical role to play in this routine by fostering closer rendezvous in in in in in in between these dual informal bodies.
Indonesia needs to build a stronger attribute in in in in in in between made during home actors if it is to make firm a in front of in ASEAN. The government can organise domestically a 'collective position' for Indonesia as good as name prime issues which need to be discussed with non-state actors, together with polite multitude organisations, universities, traffic u! nions as good as a commercial operation community. It could additionally rise a unfamiliar process forum where government as good as non-state actors can discuss as good as clarify their in front of in ASEAN. This forum should be a place to discuss forthcoming ASEAN as good as EAS agendas as good as to rise an in effect Indonesian unfamiliar policy.
Regionally, Indonesia is good placed to convince alternative ASEAN countries to maintain a organisation's togetherness when dealing with intra-regional issues, as good as when dealing with outmost partners. Indonesia needs to minimise a multiplication in in in in in in between ASEAN countries by reminding them of ASEAN's centrality in Asia's informal architecture. In particular, Indonesia could work to ease tensions over a South China Sea dispute.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an additional intensity source of multiplication for ASEAN countries, since several part of states have been celebration to this agreement, while others have been not. Indonesia needs to work with alternative ASEAN countries to make firm a ASEAN Framework for Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The design of this horizon is to deepen existing giveaway traffic agreements in in in in in in between ASEAN as good as a counterparts, as good as ASEAN will need to conduct a centrality within these assorted informal agreements.
The development of ASEAN centrality requires ASEAN informal integration, for which a realization of a ASEAN Community is an ongoing project. But a multiplication of ASEAN countries can still derail this project. Indonesia can encourage an estimable distribution of a advantages from both intra-regional team-work as good as outmost mercantile family to all ASEAN countries in order to support a formation process. Indonesia should additionally make make make use of of of a tactful energy to remind alternative ASEAN countries abou! t a risk of anomalous positions in in in in in in between ASEAN part of states, which could jeopardise a informal formation process.
ASEAN centrality as good as informal formation have been crucial to building a EAS. Indonesia should make make make use of of of mild rendezvous to safeguard a centrality of ASEAN in a EAS as good as to encourage ASEAN informal formation for in effect team-work in in in in in in between a dual bodies. ASEAN should not remove a in front of as a driving force during a back of a EAS.
Indonesia can action as an critical interlocutor in in in in in in between ASEAN as good as a EAS in perplexing to find a most appropriate solutions for usual informal challenges, together with a South China Sea issue, foe in in in in in in between a RCEP as good as a TPP, as good as attempts to close a development opening in in in in in in between nations in Southeast as good as East Asia.
The multiple of a giveaway as good as active unfamiliar process as good as Indonesia's commitment to maintaining a dynamic balance opposite a region could make firm ASEAN's in front of as a centre of informal cooperation. These efforts should be based upon a element of the Axis of Symmetrical Interests. The United States, Russia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia as good as India have been likely to respect ASEAN norms, practices as good as manners of rendezvous which have been based upon exquisite made during home as good as mercantile interests. By ancillary ASEAN's informal integration, these countries will additionally assistance to realize a East Middle East Free Trade Area as good as a Comprehensive Economic Partnership in East Asia.
Indonesia can make firm ASEAN's role as a neutral stabiliser by assisting to conduct made during home as good as mercantile team-work in in in i! n in in between ASEAN as good as a counterparts. Deep rendezvous in in in in in in between ASEAN as good as alternative East Asian countries is becoming an necessary part of rebellious complex informal hurdles as good as contingency be fostered in a coming years.

Dr Bakri menolak sebarang kaedah berbentuk revolusi, yang sering dianggap mencetuskan perubahan ke atas sesebuah masyarakat, sebaliknya himpunan evolusi akan menghasilkan sebuah 'revolusi' yang lebih baik.
Ikuti temubual selengkapnya.
Suaris Dalam banyak tulisan Dr mencadangkan kaedah yang lebih berbentuk evolusi dalam mengubah cara berfikir dan bertindak orang Melayu. Yang manakah lebih berkesan? Adakah orang Melayu perlu dikejutkan dengan suatu revolusi sebagaimana pengalaman sejarah Jepun atau Korea yang berjaya menghasilkan lompatan kuantum kepada kejayaan mereka hari ini.
Bakri Musa Bila Mohamed Bouazizi membakar dirinya di Tunisia pada Januari 4, 2011, bukan tujuannya untuk mencetus rusuhan atau revolusi. Dia hanya sudah putus asa, tiada harapan lagi. Tetapi perbuatan peribadinya mengakibatkan pertukaran bercorak "revolutionary" bukan sahaja di Tunisia bahkan di seluruh dunia Arab.
Gamal Nasser berkobar-kobar hendak merevolusikan negara Arab. Akibatnya Mesir hampir dihentam habis oleh Israel pad! a 1967. (Allahyarham Dato') Senu Abdul Rahman serta pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu seperti Abdullah Badawi dan cendekiawan-cendekiawan kita begitu juga bergiat dengan "revolusi mental" mereka. Sekarang buku yang dikarang mereka dengan tajuk yang sama susah joke nak dapat dicari, dan bangsa Melayu masih begitu juga!
Sama ada satu pertukaran itu "evolusi" atau "revolusi" tergantung bukan atas niat dan tindakan tetapi (atas) akibat dan keputusan. Bouazizi berniat dan bertindak hanya untuk memutuskan penderitaannya, tetapi akibatnya melancar satu revolusi dunia Arab yang menjatuhi orang kuat seperti Mubarak dan Gaddafi.
"Evolusi" saya maksudkan satu pertukaran atau perbuatan yang sikit demi sedikit dan perlahan-lahan, sementara revolusi ialah perbuatan atau pertukaran yang kasar dan merompak. Kita sedia maklum bahawa gunung boleh diruntuhkan dengan menyembur air dikakinya (seperti melombong bijih pada masa dulu) atau dengan melempar bahan letupan. Akibat kedua- duanya sama saja.
James C. Scott, seorang ahli sains politik, pernah membuat kajian masyarakat kita di jelapang padi Kedah pada tahun lapan puluhan. Di dalam bukunya Weapons of the Weak (Senjata Si Lemah), ia mengunakan kiasan lain. Bila kapal negeri terhempas ke atas batu karang, kita lupa bahawa batu karang itu adalah akibat beratus-ratus tahun dibina sikit demi sedikit atas rasa benci dan tentangan rakyat yang tidak ternampak (evolusi). Yang ternyata pada pandangan umum ialah kapal itu tenggelam dengan cepat (revolusi).
Kajian dan keputusan saudara mengenai Jepun dan Korea Selatan kurang tepat. Betul, bila dipandang sekarang akibat pertukaran masyarakat mereka memang "revolutionary" tetapi langkah-langkah yang diambil oleh pemimpin mereka semuanya cara sikit demi sedikit dan melingkungi beberapa dekad.
Jepun seumpamanya selepas Meiji Restoration (1868) menghantar ribuan 
Begitu juga Korea Selatan. Dalam tahun tujuh puluhan beribu-ribu pelajar Korea dihantar ke Amerika untuk mengambil ijazah lanjutan dalam sains dan kejuruteraan. Bila Presiden Pak melawat Amerika dia berjumpa dengan pelajar-pelajar tersebut dan memikat serta memujuk mereka balik, termasuk mereka yang pernah menentang dia. Bila balik, mereka diberi kemudahan seperti duit pinjaman untuk membuat perusahaan sendiri.
Bandingkan dengan Perdana Menteri Najib; penuntut yang dijumpainya ialah "flunkie" Petronas University bernama Saiful, kononnya mencari scholarship! Saya mengupas lebih mendalam cerita Jepun dan Korea Selatan (serta Ireland dan Argentina) dalam buku saya Malaysia In The Era of Globalization (2002).
Menyambung pandang (ke) timur, contoh yang lebih dekat dari segi tempat serta masa ialah Negara China. Mao Zedong berkobar-kobar merevolusikan negeri dan masyarakatnya. Akibat nya beratus-ratus juta rakyat China mati kebuluran. Beratus-ratus juta! Makanya, keselurohan Negara China hancus! Masok Deng (Xiaopeng), dia tidak berikrar "merevolusikan," atau menguna istilah Najib, "mentranformasikan" masyarakat China.
Kepada Deng, dia tidak kira apa warna kucing asalkan ia dapat menangkap tikus. Itu saja! Dengan itu dia berjaya menukar fikiran rakyat, dan seterusnya corak bangsa dan negara China. Sekarang, tak sampai satu keturunan pun, negara China sudah melebih! i ekonom i Jepun dan Jerman, serta mengancam membuat demikian kepada ekonomi Amerika.
Jiran kita Indonesia tak habis-habis berevolusi di bawah pimpinan Sukarno, tetapi rakyatnya berterusan menganggur dan bangsat. Mahathir joke bersemangat begitu juga untuk menukar corak budaya dan bangsa kita. Akhirnya, dia yang menangis.
Mengikut kiasan kebun saya dahulu, revolusi ialah menyembur racun Roundup merata-rata. Betul itu akan membunuh lalang tetapi malangnya tanaman yang berguna joke habis juga di kebas. Sebaliknya, dengan evolusi kita ambil Roundup dan curahkan sedikit demi sedikit ke akar lalang sahaja, jadi tanaman lain tidak diracun dan boleh gembur sebab tiada lawanan daripada lalang. Bahkan, lalang itu betul-betul diracuni dengan pekat; ia tak akan boleh timbul lagi.
Merdekakan Minda Melayu, seorang demi seorang, dengan cara evolusi, akibatnya nanti akan menghairankan kita dan semestinya dianggap revolusi. Minda Melayu yang merdeka akan mengejutkan masyarakat kita. Apabila minda kita merdeka, kita tidak boleh lagi dijajah, atau mengikut istilah ahli falsafah Algeria Malek Bennabi, tidak lagi "colonizable."
Yang indahnya, bila minda kita merdeka, kita akan terus terang nampak bahawa tanaman yang mewah hijau dan tinggi di dalam kebun kita itu ialah lalang dan bukannya alfalfa (rumput seperti lalang tetapi bernilai tinggi sebagai makanan binatang ternakan) yang disifatkkan oleh ketua peladang kita.

The Cambodian King and the UN Diplomat: A Bit of History
February 11, 2013
The Asia-Pacific Journal, Vol 11, Issue 6, No. 1, February 11, 2013
The Sihanouk Era: The King as good as I
by Benny Widyono
Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk was cremated upon a Fourth of February during a Meru margin next to a Royal Palace in a capital, Phnom Penh. His embalmed physique had been fibbing in state given he died of a heart attack in Beijing upon Oct 15, 2012 during a age of 89.
Hundreds of thousands of Cambodians, most of whom have not known hold up though their charismatic sovereign in a single capacity or an additional flocked to Phnom Penh, to compensate their last respects as Sihanouk was given blow up wake rites upon a scale not seen given a death of his father King Suramarit 53 years ago. With a passing of Sihanouk as good as decrease in a significance of monarchy we will probably never see such blow up wake rites again in Cambodia.
On February 4 a people witnessed a blow up cremation in an outpouring of inhabitant anguish for a "King-Father". After sundown, in religious ceremonies led by chanting monks, Sihanouk's tearful widow Queen Monineath as good as son King Norodom Sihamoni both clad in white entered a inner chamber of a blow up $ 5 million 47 meter tall fifteen story pagoda built specifically for a arise as good as bright with thousands of tiny lights.
King Sihamoni symbolically illuminated his father's sandalwood oil-soaked physique as good as smoke was seen taking flight in to a sky from a crematory. It will be distant after in gripping with Cambodian tradition. A 101-gun salute echoed through a night as good as fireworks burst over a city.
Prime Minister Hun Sen, who today binds all executive power, declared a 7 day duration of anguish fr! om Febru ary 1 to 7 as a last tribute to a King father. After a cremation, a small of Sihanouk's remains will be scattered where a Mekong, Tonle Sap as good as Tonle Bassac rivers meet. The remainder will be taken to a Royal Palace where they will be kept in a stately vessel in accordance with a former king's wishes.
Political commentators believe which a blow up cremation ceremonies were Hun Sen's approach of paying tribute to a King's legacy as a father of a modern republic who led a debate for independence from France until his overpower in 1970 by a right wing general.
Born in Phnom Penh upon Oct 31, 1922, as good as crowned aristocrat by Cambodia's French colonial rulers in 1941, Sihanouk played a purpose in a country's governing body for over 7 decades, variously as monarch, prince, conduct of state, budding minister, conduct of a Khmer Rouge government, management of a post-civil fight bloc government, conduct of a Supreme National Council, as good as again as inherent sovereign from 1993 until he abdicated in 2004.
The list of dozens of foreign dignitaries who came for a cremation enclosed those representing countries with special family with a King as good as with Cambodia. They embody comparison Chinese official Jia Qinglin, Chairman of a National Committee of a Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference as good as former tall ranking politburo member, French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Laos Prime Minister Thongsing Thammavong, Vice President of a Philippines Jejomar C. Binay, as good as Japanese Prince Akishino, hermit of a Crown Price, as good as others from India as good as adjacent countries. According to a supervision statement, Jia Qinglin, Jean-Marc Ayrault as good ! as Princ e Akishino were perceived in apart stately audience by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni as good as Queen-Mother Norodom Monineath during a Royal Palace.
The Chinese of march hold a special relationship with King Sihanouk over most years. He outlayed a good understanding of time in Beijing for medical treatment and, as will be shown below, in domestic outcast in a 1970s as good as a 1980s. Today China has strong ties with a supervision of Prime Minister Hun Sen as good as is a largest donor to as good as investor in Cambodia.
The French crowned Sihanouk King in 1941 underneath their protectorate though he managed to benefit independence from them in 1953. In a 1980s as good as 1990s France was critical as a co-convener, with Indonesia, of a Paris Agreements which solved a domestic corner of a 1980s in Cambodia.
After a establishment of a brand brand brand brand new Royal Government of Cambodia in 1993, France. swapping with Japan, hosted a annual coordination meetings upon foreign aid to Cambodia. Japan also played an critical purpose as a major donor for years after a elections hold by a United Nations in 1993.
The leaders from adjacent associate ASEAN countries showed their oneness with Cambodia as ASEAN is apropos increasingly critical as a regional mercantile as good as domestic entity.
Special mention should be done of a presence of Thai premier Yingluck Shinawatra (left), sister of banished former Prime Minister Taksin Shinawatra, who is a tighten crony of Hun Sen. Taksin is a leader of a populist red shirts who battled a royalist yellow shirts for years.
The King of Thailand has always been tighten to Sihanouk as good as his Royalist politicians prolonged perceived ins! urance i n Thailand. Hun Sen gave a special audience to his Thai counterpart.
Conspicuously, a US was represented by their comparatively low key Ambassador in Phnom Penh, William E. Todd, raising questions given a prolonged U.S. involvement in Cambodia. As will be shown below, during a turbulent duration of polite wars in a 1960s as good as 1970s Sihanouk had a vigourous relationship with a United States.
Many Cambodians were dissapoint when President Barack Obama, a single of many
leaders attending a regional summit in Phnom Penh in Nov 2012, did not to compensate his respects prior to Sihanouk's body. He also reportedly had a moving personal assembly with Prime Minister Hun Sen criticizing him for his doing of tellurian rights as good as democracy issues.
I initial met a flashy as good as versatile Prince in New York in a 1980s. we was fortunate to be invited to Sihanouk's most coveted annual strain as good as dance parties hold during a Helmsley Hotel circuitously United Nations headquarters. While a King's parties were full of color as good as lively, with a Monarch crooning renditions of Tea for Two as good as That's What Friends Are For, a note of gloom hung over a occasions whilst his nation was torn by polite war.
After Vietnamese troops as good as rebel ex-Khmer Rouge soldiers suspended a ruthless Khmer Rouge system of administration in January 1979, as good as installed a People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK) supervision which soon gained control over 90% of a country, a United Nations instead famous a Coalition Government of Democratic Kampuchea (CGDK). The bloc operated from refugee camps situated in adjacent Thailand as good as enclosed elements of a Khmer Rouge as good as Sihanouk's royalist FUNCINPEC movement.
With a Cold War in full swing, a Soviet Union as good as ! a comrad e allies plus India as good as a series of nonaligned countries famous a pro-Vietnam PRK government. Sihanouk's annual soirees in New York were hold whilst he campaigned for a CGDK headed by him opposite a PRK during a UN General Assembly.
This stalemate of dual governments a single after an additional until a Paris Peace Accords were signed in Oct 1991, establishing a United Nations Transitional Authority (UNTAC) in Cambodia. UNTAC was tasked with land elections as good as paving a approach for inhabitant reconciliation. In Nov 1991, before prolonged after signing a Paris Peace Agreements, PRK Prime Minister Hun Sen welcomed aristocrat Sihanouk during a back of from twelve years of exile.
"I wish to appreciate you, Excellency Mr Yasushi Akashi, for promulgation an additional Prince from Java to assistance move assent to Cambodia," Sihanouk quipped in August 1992 to UNTAC's afterwards senior-most director in reference to myself. This was my second encounter with Sihanouk. The arise for a quip was a coronation of UNTAC's provincial domicile in Siemreap, circuitously a Angkor Wat temple, where we served as a shadow administrator for UNTAC.
Akashi was a Japanese conduct of UNTAC whilst Sihanouk served as Head of a Supreme National Council, a symbolic management which represented Cambodian supervision during a UNTAC-led transitional period.
While not a prince, we did indeed hail from Java, Indonesia. Sihanouk's learned fun baptizing me as a second aristocrat of Java had a origins in a year 802, when Prince Jayavarman II was proclaimed a universal monarch, or Deva Raja, (God King). According to inscriptions, Jayawarmnan II outlayed a small time in Java. To this day, a peasants who have up a bulk of Cambodia ceremony Sihanouk as a last Deva Raja of Cambodia.
!Dur ing my UNTAC tenure, we got to know Sihanouk intimately. At a single point, we was asked by my UNTAC superiors to accompany him by helicopter to a domicile of a Khmer Rouge to see how they were scheming for a upcoming elections. Because he was regulating UNTAC helicopters, Sihanouk requested which a comparison UNTAC person accompany him.
Although he was put underneath house detain during most of a Khmer Rouge's 1975-79 order during which an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians perished Sihanouk had earlier done common cause with a organisation after a pro-American general Lon Nol overthrew his neutral supervision in a 1970 coup. Sihanouk went in to outcast in Beijing as good as obtained China's assistance for a struggle to overpower a Lon Nol system of administration dominated by a Khmer Rouge. He was to illustrate seen by a UN as an critical interlocutor to a Khmer Rouge, which had fought an in effect guerilla debate after being defeated by Vietnamese forces in 1979.
We boarded a tiny six-seater French troops helicopter in Siem Reap as good as landed during Pailin, a lugubrious Khmer Rouge domicile which was off limits to UNTAC. The pro-Khmer Rouge population who were trucked in from surrounding villages gave Sihanouk a howling welcome. They were attired in full of color brand brand brand brand new dresses alien from adjacent Thailand as good as looked comparatively prosperous compared with a poverty-stricken people in circuitously PRK -controlled areas.
At lunchtime we was invited to join a celebration of Khmer Rouge tip coronet in respect of a Royal couple. Top Khmer Rouge leaders, together with Khieu Samphan, Ieng Sary, as good as Son Sen, as good as we flanked a Prince as good as Princess. Pol Pot (left), a radical group's leader, was apparently sneaking in a circuitously room watching. Ieng Sary's daughter, who had c! omplicat ed in London, prepared a sumptuous Khmer nouvelle cuisine lunch cleared down with Mouton Cadet, Sihanouk's favorite French wine.
From my vantage indicate during a end of a table, we was able to comply initial hand a bizarre relationship between Sihanouk as good as a Khmer Rouge's leadership. Their bizarre review which day centered upon a concept of a Immaculate Conception of a Virgin Mary as good as Friday a 13th as a Western superstition.
The Khmer Rouge tip coronet invariably teased Sihanouk which he had stopped his amorous escapades after marrying Princess Monique, (now Queen Monineath) his sixth official wife. Sihanouk turned to me as good as confirmed with his matchless crow which Princess Monique kept him in bondage as good as would never again allow him to look during alternative women.
Perpetual crisis
After UNTAC successfully hold a elections as good as left Cambodia, we was appointed as a United Nations Secretary-General's deputy to a brand brand brand brand new Royal Government of Cambodia. It was afterwards which we truly got to know Sihanouk. we arrived in April 1994 in time to watch nonetheless an additional tumultuous acquire for Sihanouk, who arrived from Beijing during which time. The aristocrat was favoured conduct of a Royal Government of Cambodia, a post-election bloc which was famous by all tellurian countries.
Underscoring unresolved tensions, a supervision was headed by dual Prime 
Ministers, Prince Ranariddh, Sihanouk's son, as good as Hun Sen, a PRK's Prime Minister given 1985. The Khmer Rouge, however, confirmed their arms as good as a single after an additional to plea a brand brand brand brand new bloc government's management from a territories it controlled.
On May 1, 1994, we was postulated ! an audie nce with a King. After exchanging formalities, we were led to a not as big room with a outrageous map of Cambodia. Here, Sihanouk went in to good detail in outlining a predicament caused by a Khmer Rouge's afterwards ongoing counter-offensive, which dominated a review which day.
In highly charcterised fashion, Sihanouk likely which a Khmer Rouge, buoyed by a brand brand new troops successes, would try to broadcast a apart state in an outdoor northern crescent of territory bordering upon Thailand. The aristocrat cackled as good as told me which during a back of a room's outrageous fate most spies were sneaking with secret microphones linked variously to a Khmer Rouge, Ranariddh as good as Hun Sen.
That day, he was meditative aloud about what to do to save Cambodia from nonetheless an additional crisis. He complained which a bloc supervision did not take him seriously whilst expressing a striking lack of certainty in a co-premiers. It was utterly clear from a review which Sihanouk was unfortunate with his in front of as a aristocrat who reigned though did not rule. "They wanted me to be somewhere up in a sky upon top of Cambodia," he told me during a in isolation cooking to bid farewell to a Indonesian Ambassador where he lamented similar to a co-premiers' pull to emanate a inherent monarchy.
In June 1994, Sihanouk denounced nonetheless an additional devise to retake a reins of power. From self-exile in Beijing, where he would outlay most of a rest of his life, he summoned veteran Far Eastern Economic Review journalist Nate Thayer for a prolonged talk in which he accused a bloc supervision of being unqualified of halting a deterioration of a country's politics. "How can we equivocate inserted in a couple of months' time or a single year's time if a situation continues to deteriorate?" he asked during a bombshell interview. When Hun Sen wrote him a minute sharply criticizing him for a interview, a King vowed to retire from politics.
However, Sihanouk was never entire! ly margi nalized. He published his papers regularly in his Bulletin Mensual de Documentation (Monthly Bulletin), which can right away be review on-line. He often handwrote biting letters, commentaries as good as annotations to journal as good as magazine articles upon Cambodia in English as good as French, lavishly flashy by multiple exclamation outlines as good as underlinings. The circular supposing an outlet to criticize a governance of a co-premiers as good as swing influence.
When a bloc supervision became internally strained, a papers of a sure Ruom Rith unexpected appeared in his bulletin. Ostensibly, Ruom Rith was an aged crony of a King; he was his exact age as good as supposedly lived somewhere in a French Pyrenees. They common identical essay styles, alive with exclamation points as good as multipleup to 4 or 5 in a rowquestion marks. Whereas a King was restrained in criticizing Hun Sen, Ruom Rith was utterly outspoken.
It was commonly believed in Phnom Penh which Ruom Rith was a pen name for a King himself although a sovereign vigorously denied it. Later, during moving durations heading up to a full of blood 1997 fight which left Hun Sen as a usually budding minister, alternative alter egos of a aristocrat appeared. In a small instances, they even began to disagree with any alternative in a bulletin. The aristocrat appeared to enjoy this purpose play, choreographing with viewable amusement his own in isolation puppet show.
Since 1997, Hun Sen has consolidated his power as Prime Minister as good as his 
political party, a Cambodian People's Party, won increasingly larger majorities. In a latest elections, in 2008, a celebration took 90 seats in a 123 member legislature. It appears almost sure which Hun Sen will simply win an additional 5 year tenure in a forthcoming elections in Jul 2013.
Due ! to bad h ealth, as good as maybe realizing which his domestic purpose was over, Sihanouk abdicated a throne for a second time in 2004. He handed down a climax to his unmarried as good as childless youngest son Norodom Sihamoni. King Sihamoni is a 59-year-old former ballet dancer who had outlayed most of his hold up in European artistic circles as good as has proven a low-keyed inherent sovereign in a nation dominated by Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Sihanouk had a single hold up prolonged ambition which remained unfulfilled: to order over a prosperous as good as pacific Cambodia. After Sihanouk stepped down, a National Assembly bestowed a pretension of "the Great King Hero, Father of Independence, of Territorial Integrity as good as National Unity" upon a former sovereign as good as politician. He outlayed most of a rest of his hold up in Beijing undergoing treatment for assorted illnesses. Today, a supervision bestowed a brand brand brand brand new pretension upon Sihanouk, "Preah Borom Rattanak Koat", whilst a brand brand brand brand new 1,000 riel note (about twenty-five US cents) bears a image of a golden wake carriage.
At a cremation ceremonies, most Cambodians will indeed recollect Sihanouk as a father of Cambodia, a male who gave them independence, strived for assent as good as settlement as good as in conclusion saved their small, though distinct nation from disintegrating from a map. Many believe which whilst a royals remain highly worshiped by most aged Cambodians, a monarchy is growing reduction applicable in a eyes of a younger generation.
Today, underneath a strong order of Prime Minister Hun Sen, a nation is enjoying dual decades of quick mercantile expansion as good as in Phnom Penh, a sky is dotted with skyscrapers, with some-more underneath construction. The youth of Cambodia today; similar to their peers in adjacent ASEAN countries, appear to be some-more meddlesome in graduating from college as good as getting a job than in politics.

When the Pope was powerful, and why that changed
February 12, 2013
When a Pope was powerful, as well as because which changed
by Max Fisher upon Feb 11, 2013@www.washingtonpost.com
Pope Benedict XVI walks by a embankment during Auschwitz, prolonged a bruise indicate in a papacy's history. (AP Photo/Diether Endlicher)
It's formidable to pinpoint a accurate moment when a bureau of a Pope began to remove a immeasurable domestic power, which had prolonged placed a Holy See upon top of even a Kings as well as Emperors of Europe, though has since declined to a indicate which now-retiring Pope Benedict XVI found couple of domestic accomplishments in his reign. But a single day which stands out is December 2, 1804.
A couple of weeks earlier, French electorate had overwhelmingly approved a referendum elevating Napoleon Bonaparte from First Consul to Emperor, a beginning of a finish of France's democratic revolution. His accession was to proceed in a demeanour of all Catholic monarchs, who still ruled most of Europe: he would kneel prior to a Pope, then Pius VII, to receive a climax as well as blessing. The symbolism of a accession reflected centuries of European domestic tradition, in which a Catholic church formally conferred kingship with a boundless good fortune which was thought necessary to rule; a church, in a power, had during times competed plainly with those same monarchs.
But when Napoleon marched up a tabernacle of a Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, he did not kneel prior to Pope Pius VII as a French monarch! s prior to him had finished as well as as Pius certainly expected. As Pius raised a crown, Napoleon instead turned to face a onlookers in a pews, snatched a climax out a Pope's hands as well as placed it upon his own head. In Jacques Louis David's famous portrayal of a incident, finished four years later, Pius stands sullenly back, watching as Napoleon crowns his wife Queen.
Napoleon's accession did not upon a own finish a Pope's influence over universe politics, though it symbolized which decline after centuries of immeasurable pope management over Europe. When a Roman Empire fell, a Catholic church remained as close as Europe had to a pan-continental institution; a church had legitimacy as well as grassroots support, not to discuss immeasurable monetary resources.
European governments, as they grew from city-states to nations, grown a arrange of symbiotic attribute with a church, relying upon it for await as well as fearing a energy to await opposing leaders. When Pope Urban II called upon European leaders to convene for a crusades, he both reliable as well as entrenched a Vatican's energy over domestic leaders, even in counts of war.
Though a Pope's powers declined when European monarchs became absolute sufficient to plea him, during a single indicate hosting a second as well as more corruptible pope in France, a protestant reformation rallied Catholic governments opposite taking flight protestantism as well as renewed a pope's domestic importance.
But even a Pope could not strike a climb of European patriotism as well as revolutionary movements in a modern era, of which Napoleon was only one. The Vatican's domestic impotence has most examples, though a single of a most absolute is Pope Pius XII's scanda lous silence during a holocaust. Debate over Pius's relations inaction still rages, with critics charging which he hoped to retain a little Catholic presence in Germany while defenders disagree he was more quietly diplomatic.
Pope John Paul II, who reigned from 1978 to 2005, seemed to carve out a brand new model for a politically influential pope. Though a Polish-born leader did not wield a normal collection of direct pope power, he acted as a arrange of global envoy upon behalf a church. His remarkable tenure, in which he mediated conflicts, pressured non-democratic governments to remodel as well as sought to soothe interfaith tensions, warranted him a place in history. Cold War scholars still celebrate his role in assisting to finish a Cold War, which even Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev acknowledged.
Pope Benedict XVI, who Monday voiced which he will renounce during a finish of a month, has a domestic bequest same to most popes in a 20th century: a single in which he is applicable to a theological debates inside of a Catholic church though not, like a Popes of old, a vital player in universe politics.
Whoever follows him will have to consider either he wishes a Papacy to remain an bureau principally endangered with a internal divinity of a world's third-largest sacrament as it was under Benedict, or a single which attempts to retrieve a little of a global care of John Paul II. Either way, Benedict's resignation is a reminder of how distant a Papacy has come from a days of when it competed to one side kings as well as emperors for power.

Soaring property prices: Profits vs Basic right to housing
This video, 'M-C-M: Utopia milik siapa?' explores how housing a basic human right has been incited in to a commodity which earns fabulous increase for developers as well as banks whilst pulling homes beyond a strech of immature working adults.
Political parties upon both sides of a order realize which a lack of 'affordable housing' is likely to be a pass choosing issue. In response, their proceed has been to indicate to their record in office building such homes or to come up with fresh pledges to set up more such homes in a coming years.
But does this go far enough when it is a entire complement which has incited affordable housing in to a commodity which enriches bankers as well as developers, not to mention supporting professionals. As housing prices soar, many typical Malaysians find themselves labelled out of a market or incurring diseased amounts of household debt by burdensome housing loans.
From easy loans to a office building of high profit-margin homes targeted at a rich elite (both locals as well as foreigners), many immature Malaysians find themselves pushed serve out to a hinterland of of a city where public ride to places of work is lacking.
So afterwards they have to catch serve losses upon petrol, toll as well as private engine vehicles to strech their places of work in a city.
Boon Kia Meng's production additionally explores a possibility which you may be heading for a property bubble as well as points to a little similarities with a incident in Spain.
Verdict:A fine bid by Kia Meng upon an important amicable issue, value a watch. Hopefully, this video will prompt Malaysian to ask political parties what they are starting to do to revamp a complement so which once again, housing will be viewed as a basic human right as well as not a commodity to heighten developers as well as bankers at a responsibility of a people.

GE-13 - "May you find what you are looking for"
Our unofficial national clarion call, Malaysia Boleh, has turn both an expression of proper honour in a Malaysian achievement as good as cynical criticism in a Malaysian action of dodgy-ness, thelatter usually compared with officialdom or those approved, sponsored or corroborated by officialdom.

It would not be untrue to vouch for a Election Commission of Malaysia (EC) has a Malaysia Boleh stamp, not distinct a SIRIM trademark for Malaysian constructed goods yet certainly, intheopinion ofthepublic, not likethestandards SIRIM has set, or anywhere nearby that.
You as good can confirm which facet of Malaysia Boleh would be applicable for a EC.
In 2008 BN suffered a major setback in a March ubiquitous as good as state elections where it mislaid a 36-year aged two-third majorityin sovereign parliament, as good as a order in thestates of Penang, Kedah, Selangor as good as Perak (Kelantan stays underneath PAS rule).
ThoughtheBN's 140 seats in sovereign council in 2008 provides a large infancy over Pakatan's 82, there was many wailing, rentingofsack cloth as good as covering their selves in ashes in BN, as iftheworld hadcometo an end. The former UMNO MB of Perakwentinto deep shock as good as cried.
Worse, a lossof a richest as good as many iconic state of Selangor was many as good many tobearfor dear aged UMNO. The waste werenotonly domestic yet financial as good as celebration honour as well.
UMNO has had 5 years to devise to hold onto a 140 parliamentary seats if not add some-more as good as to win ba! ck Selan gor as good as where probable Kedah as good as Perak as well.
Of late we have to admit we have been rsther than surprised by Najib's special focus on Penang, when a island state, if we might contend so, is in ubiquitous not deliberate critical to UMNO's pride.
Perhaps Najib wants to help his MCA as good as Gerakan mateys regain a little footing, atleastfor BN's window dressing if nothing else.
And Isuppose which probable instruct to shore up MCA as good as Gerakan to a little semblance of their particular former domestic lives as good as relevance would be due to Najib being a male who is terribly penetrating on form ratherthansubstance, as he once demonstratedtowards Ong Tee Keat - see my September 2006 postCorruption 'Fact' for DPM Najib & Hishamuddin.
I hold Ah Jib Gor likes to see a BN with a little Chinese participation -wouldthat be a covenant to his multiracial 1Malaysia credentials? wakakaka.

Okay, I've no disbelief a EC has been tasked to safeguard afavourableoutcomefor BN in GE-13, as good as let'snotmince difference as roughly everyone together with BN people knows a care in a EC, identical to those in a Police, Civil Service as good as Judiciary, have been pro UMNO people, withsomeeven consideringthemselvesas UMNO employees.
But nonetheless, form (of democratic process) contingency still be recorded ev! en as pi ece (of a desired outcome) is being worked at.
For example, gerrymandering is good as good as truly alive in a choosing system. The aim of gerrymandering is to advantage or disadvantage sold constituents, as good as don't we usually know who as good as what will be advantaged as good as disadvantaged.
An e.g. of gerrymandering techniques in Malaysia would be a compressed packing of opposition electorate identical to sardines in to seats unlikely to be won by BN such as Kapar. The aim is to revoke a representation of a electorate who do not await BN whilst obscenely enlarging by jagged quantum those ancillary UMNO.
The Kapar contra Putrajaya dichotomy has beena terribly obvious case of shameful gerrymandering, where a former (Kapar) a Pakatan building has 120,000 electorate in a single sovereign subdivision whilst a latter (Putrajaya), an UMNO building by trait of itspredominatelyBTN-ized civil servant residents, has a small 6,000 electorate represented by additionally a single part of of council (MP), as for Kapar.
Ketuanan UMNO has been assured by as many as a 2,000 percentile guarantee. And no consternation Tengku Adnan not long ago thanked Najib openly forthe PM's present of shoo-ing him in as theassured MP for PJ. Eat your heart out, Khairy, wakakaka.
If a EC as a supposedly eccentric organization possesses a unprejudiced firmness it should have, it wouldhave anaverageof 60,000 (or up to 80,000) perfederalconstituency, so thateachandveryMalaysian voter would suffer a same 'voice' in parliament.
Such a fair proceed would have Kapar represented by 2 MPs whilst a residentsofPutrajayawouldhave been purebred electorate in a sovereign subdivision of, say, 60,000 as good as definitely not by it trifling sized self.
But as mentioned, a EC is neither eccentric nor unbiased.
In 2007Malaysiakini reported in itsEC 'helping' UMNO secure PenangthatDanny Law Heng Kiang (DAP) alleged a EC was utilizing a electoral bounds in Penang to enlarge Malay-winning state seats for UMNO's benefits.
Law claimed which a gerrymand! ering strategy was identical to UMNO tactics conducted in Sabah in recent years as good as Malacca about 3 decades ago. The dual states have given been in a firm nails of UMNO.
According to him, we should expect changes in foster of UMNO even with a Chinese creation up some-more than 70% of Penang's estimated race of 1.3 million. He pointed out which usually 22 state seats or 55 percent were Chinese-majority constituencies. But a Malays (meaning UMNO), who constituted reduction than 25% of a population, dominated 15 state constituencies or 40 percent of a state seats.
Well might be as a demography has given altered or perhaps maynot even have altered much, yet trust a amazing EC to work out UMNO's winning ways.
Nonetheless, according toLaw, seats with Chinese-majority had an normal 20,000 electorate whilst a Malay! -dominat ed constituencies an normal of 11,000 electorate for example, a Chinese-dominated Paya Terubong had been(based on 2007 figures)the biggest state seat with 23,490 electorate whilst a largest Malay seat, Permatang Berangan had usually 14,049 purebred voters.
But nonetheless, form (of democratic process) contingency still be recorded ev! en as pi ece (of a desired outcome) is being worked at.

Well might be as a demography has given altered or perhaps maynot even have altered much, yet trust a amazing EC to work out UMNO's winning ways.
And if we were to compare Paya Terubong (23,490) to UMNO-controlled Teluk Bahang (10,791), a ratio of state representationwouldbe 2 to 1 in foster of a latter. It seems in Penang, a little people have dual votes whilst a rest have usually one.
Apart from gerrymandering, there have additionally been a covert variety where phantom electorate consisted of thetruly dead who could not usually walk yet vote, of course, for BN.
Additionally there were vital electorate whocould walkfrom subdivision to subdivision to exercisetheMalaysia Boleh-ness. Alas, Pakatan mislaid a chiefexorcist of 'phantoms' when Gobalakrishnan left PKR with a pant as good as a puff, wakakaka -see my 2008 post regarding thePermatang Pauh by-electionwhere we wrote:
in a unvaried he once adore wakakaka Malaysiakini reported in5 'phantom' buses stopped, MP as good as sons arrestedthat PKR leader Gobalakrishnan, MP for Padang Serai, as good as his dual sons plus a supporter, adopted a PKR 'core' group's habit of interlude buses, allegedly full of phantom voters.
We've of march heard of indelible ink yet we consternation during a efficacy in a Malaysia Boleh context.
Postal choosing by casting votes by a military as good as troops have been a sore point for a sovereign opposition, yet we have privately not been conflicting it forfearofdisenfranchisinglegitimate electorate who have been in uniformed and/or necessary services (armed forces, police, firemen, sanatorium as good as ambulance staff, etc).
It would be gross injustice to repudiate a people in uniformed and/or necessary services a right to opinion usually since they in ubiquitous have been pro BN.
It's not wrong to be pro BN yet it's definitely wrong to block out pro BN voters, intheway as it's wrong to sabotage pro Pakatan electorate by shifting them around to brand new constituencies as good as worse by stealth, without informing or providing them with presentation so which they might during least know where they have been to vote, as good as if they wish, lift bona fide objections or hurdles to a changes (where we have been shown examples which wereunconstitutionallyexercised bytheEC).
Nonetheless in fairness, we need to wakeful which it's universally notunusual for a infancy of militarypostal electorate to opinion conservative, as have been a trends in Australia (pro Coalition Party), USA (pro Republican Party) as good as UK (pro Conservative Party). In Malaysia, UMNO is a regressive party. Perhaps 'tomorrow' PKR as good as PAS might good be as well. Thus troops electorate preferringconservative(right wing) parties havenotbeen odd as good as should not be deliberate as sinister in itself.

Thus troops electorate preferringconservative(right wing) parties havenotbeen odd as good as should not be deliberate as sinister in itself.
But we draw a line conflicting together with (what we heard) military/police wives as postal electorate as a ladies have been not on necessary services, unless of coursethe wives themselves have been troops or military uniformed members, or a militaryandtheirwivesare stationed abroad or in a remote location. Minus these qualifications, we consider a inclusion of military/police wives as good as family members as gross abuse by a EC of a facility to safeguard electorate on necessary duties would not be disenfranchised.
The above have been all threats to fair as good as usually elections which we have been familiar with, yet nothing beats a shameful as good as obscene Grand Canyon-ish gap of Kapar contra Putrajaya constituencies in their particular numbers of purebred voters, where Putrajaya playstheroleoftheJewish lil' David, a good known unscrupulousscoundrelin a biblical tales.
Let me reiterate, a shameful case of Kapar contra Putrajayawouldbe a many OBSCENE case of cheating, as good as a chairperson of a EC should have be sacked for a obvious as good as pure gerrymandering, not which it will occur underneath an UMNOgovernment, which we suppose calls for an additional Malaysia Boleh exclamation.

But what afterwards has this got to do with my pretension on what we clarity as an upgrading of an aged threat. Before we tuck in to it, let's revisit a few statements by Dr Mahathir in recent weeks.
In my postDeepak, a Cesium Bomb as good as a DevilI wrote of Vell Paari (anak kepadaSamy Vellu) ...lambasting of Dr Mahathir for calling on Najib to give way a latter's budding ministerial post if he fails to secure a two-thirds infancy for BN in GE-13.
I'm not certain either Vell wasbersandiwar-ishly bodekingNajib (you know how MIC pollies have been wakakaka) or he was in fact dissapoint by a difference of a male referred to as a Devil (obviously a One we know, wakakaka).
But we knew Dr Mahathir wasbersandiwara-ing, since in which same post we additionally wrote:
But Dr Mahathir is not an easy or manmanlai male to read. He had virtually co-authoredThe Art of Warwith Sun Tzu, wakakaka, in which his favourite fortify is"All crusade is formed on deception", wakakaka again.
I think Vell Paari has fallen victim to Dr Mahathir's false turn in voicing which unless Najib brings home a (2/3 majority) bacon (figuratively speaking of course, wakakaka), a son of Tun Razak contingency give way his budding ministerial position even if BN wins. [...]
I think Vell Paari has fallen victim to Dr Mahathir's false turn in voicing which unless Najib brings home a (2/3 majority) bacon (figuratively speaking of course, wakakaka), a son of Tun Razak contingency give way his budding ministerial position even if BN wins. [...]
Thus we am prone to hold Dr Mahathir has been playing retreat psychology. [...]
Dr Mahathir knows which a Chinese would be wakeful which it will be a overwhelming effort for Pakatan to win infancy order since of a conspicuous EC, to illustrate he slipped in a preference for them of having either Najib or Muhyiddin as PM.
And he believes a ! Chinese will cite Najib to Muhyiddin as PM, to illustrate he teases them in to choosing by casting votes for BN to safeguard Najib stays as PM. Whether his reversepsychologywill work in accordance with his plansremainsto be seen yet it's still a plan, as good as a really divergent one.

Okay, follow which up with his some-more recent call toAmend constitution to frame Ambiga's citizenship. As reported by Malaysiakini, Dr Mahathir stated:
"To frame a person's citizenship, we need to rectify a constitution. And to rectify a constitution we need two-thirds infancy in Parliament. So, we ask which we give two-thirds infancy to a BN government."
Many took umbrage during what would be deliberate as hisseditiouscall to frame a Malaysian of her citizenship for no alternative reason than partisan domestic purpose. And whilst we should slap his wrist for raising such an issue, his real aim was some-more destined towards a BN (or UMNO) winning GE-13 by a two-third majority, rsther than than forthepurposeofaltering a Constitution to 'fix' Ambiga.
Yes, he is positively pulling pushing pushing!
Really, it isnotnecessary for BN to win by a two-third infancy to order or for Najib to sojourn as PM, yet by environment such a high aim as good as campaigning for it by fear, loathing as good as self-interest driven stampede, he wants BN to have as pretty gentle a infancy as probable even if it's not 2/3. A win is still a win as good as hallelujah, U! MNO will go on to be a driver of a Malaysian gravytrain

While a part about a probability of Najib being ousted by Muhyiddin has been destined during Chinese as good as Indian electorate for them to choose a obtuse disliked UMNO male to be PM,thelatter about stripping Ambiga Sreenivesan of her Malaysian citizenship has beentargetedat a Heartland to promote a 'idea' an UMNO-led supervision with a 2/3 infancy canamendtheConstitutionto get rid of an vitriolic non-Malay, anaci.
He was usually following up on a nauseous butts act, a single of inciting loathing for a non-Malay woman in order to rallythetrue believers totheUMNO banner
And it has to be a Heartland he has been targeting since commonsense tells us a civic areas (minus hardcore UMNO apparatchiks) have been inthe main really pro Ambiga, who's virtually a enchantress to them.
Thus we believe, as good millionsofMalaysians, which a conspicuous EC is workinghandin glove with many others (wakakaka) towards such a really gentle win for UMNO-BN, butthequestion is, apart from aged tricks, usually what brand new tactics does it have to grasp that?
Okay, time for a wee bit oftng k'ooi(ch'ong hei) story.
Many years ago we read a abhorrence story formed on a Chinese observant which a single shouldreally be worried one's instruct might usually come loyal - strange, isn't that, yet thentheChinese have been such divergent people - don't hold me? Go ask Dr Mahathir, wakakaka.
The! story w entsomething identical to this (as far as we can recollect):
A couple had usually a single child, who grew up to be a smashing lovely young man, thepride as good as happiness of his parents. He was smart, intelligent, large as good as a loving son. One day he tragically died in a horrible car accident.
Now peep back a wee bit - a relatives beingthegood folks they were, had once saved a life of a Taoist priest. The beholden priest, deliberate to be a little arrange of a virtuoso or holy man, afterwards sensitive them he would grant them a wish, yet it wasnota instruct for element gains yet a single to help them in their moments of many dire need. At which time, they didn't pay many attention to it, meditative which was usually a wayward of an aged beholden priest.
Sothestory went which after a son was buried, they, being so ravaged by their irreplaceable loss, remembered a Taoist bonus as good as went to see him in recklessness in order to draw on a granted wish.
Even prior to they could discuss it a clergyman what they wanted, he advised them not to instruct for whattheHeavens would hold as forbidden, as good as if they insisted, they would dismay their instruct coming true.
Of march no advice would have deterred them from creation which a single wish, for their son to come back to them. The clergyman sadly told them their wishwouldbegranted. And which night a son returned ... yet in a form they didn't expect ... in his horribly crushed up bloodied as good as hurtful (decomposing) form.
Thus a Chinese claim which a saying"May we find what we have been seeking for"is in reality a curse, in a same way as alternative harmless sounding Chinese sayings have been actually curses, such as"May we live in interesting times"and"May we come toth! eattenti on of important people". Hmmm, bloody respectful yet divergent bastards, wakakaka.
"May we find what we have been seeking ! for"has been deemed as a many serious of a 3 pointed curses ...
... which now brings us to what we in Pakatan have been'looking for'in terms of voting. Didn't we want a hundreds of thousands, if not millions of adults vital abroad to be means to opinion during abroad location?
Haven't we lamented which usually a name group, who we correctly think of expected to be pro UMNO people,havebeen permitted to opinion during abroad centre?
Now, a limited form of abroad choosing by casting votes is authorised as good as which we contingency say, when we learntofit, we shuddered since we knew exactly what would follow - for surelythe EC would never ever do anything to threaten UMNO -au contraire, a conflicting would be true.
Asindicative oftheEC's Boleh-ness, haven't we heard not long ago from Dr Ramasamy (Penang DCM II) which his daughter in UK has turn a purebred abroad voter even yet she did NOT apply to be one?
Yes, abroad choosing by casting votes is not distinct postal voting, yet with military/police postal votes, there's still a grade of accounting as good as tracing. However, with a supposed brand new abroad voters, how will Pakatan be means to snippet theirbono fides?
It'll be a! s bad as , if not worse than, a sellingofcitizenships for votes. Overseas choosing by casting votes is in fact a upgraded hazard of postal voting, something we longed for yet didn't allow fortheremarkable EC's 'structuring'.
And hasn't it been ominous which Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has pre-warnedParties should sojourn receptive if they lose, undoubtedly implying it's meant for Pakatan, since many opine which if UMNO expects to lose, it would not receptive to advice so gracious.
Zahid Hamidi has virtually sensitive us which UMNO will be winning big as good as we wouldnotbe surprised if UMNO regains order in Selangor as it might grasp which by a 'surge' ofsupport from abroad voting, wakakaka.
And whilst we don't expect Pakatan to remove Penang we again cannot dismissthe potentialeffect of a same abroad voting.
Should we accordtheEC with an additional Malaysia Boleh for them wishing us"May we find what we have been seeking for"?

Now, a limited form of abroad choosing by casting votes is authorised as good as which we contingency say, when we learntofit, we shuddered since we knew exactly what would follow - for surelythe EC would never ever do anything to threaten UMNO -au contraire, a conflicting would be true.
Asindicative oftheEC's Boleh-ness, haven't we heard not long ago from Dr Ramasamy (Penang DCM II) which his daughter in UK has turn a purebred abroad voter even yet she did NOT apply to be one?
Yes, abroad choosing by casting votes is not distinct postal voting, yet with military/police postal votes, there's still a grade of accounting as good as tracing. However, with a supposed brand new abroad voters, how will Pakatan be means to snippet theirbono fides?
It'll be a! s bad as , if not worse than, a sellingofcitizenships for votes. Overseas choosing by casting votes is in fact a upgraded hazard of postal voting, something we longed for yet didn't allow fortheremarkable EC's 'structuring'.
And hasn't it been ominous which Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has pre-warnedParties should sojourn receptive if they lose, undoubtedly implying it's meant for Pakatan, since many opine which if UMNO expects to lose, it would not receptive to advice so gracious.
Zahid Hamidi has virtually sensitive us which UMNO will be winning big as good as we wouldnotbe surprised if UMNO regains order in Selangor as it might grasp which by a 'surge' ofsupport from abroad voting, wakakaka.
And whilst we don't expect Pakatan to remove Penang we again cannot dismissthe potentialeffect of a same abroad voting.
Should we accordtheEC with an additional Malaysia Boleh for them wishing us"May we find what we have been seeking for"?
