The profit has been channeled into their pocket, and further burden has been passed to the nation. Well, we suffer, our childrens suffer, and who benefit most are the current leader, who don’t bother much on the nation plight as they are no people starve to death in Malaysia so why bother?

Only Japan leader is pretty strong, if they think they can’t rule or lead the country they will resign, Samurai spirit. Only then people will respect them, and that reputation will be preserved and continue by others.

M’sia is difference, our leader, slapping their own race, own face, slandering themselves the root of all this is GREED.

Cause
- Submarine & shukoi jet deals (commission)
Effect
- Abd. Razak
- Atlantuya
- Najis
- Najis wife
- C4 expert & wife
- Commandos
- Raja Petra
- Judges
- Media

So many cause and effect due to what, the root cause of these are from GREED. They should follow the Buddhism teaching, this world don’t belong to them, their body is not permanent.

The suffer are the nation.

We were being taught in school since young that we should be proud of our country, heritage, blah, blah, blah…. (and everything to do with patriotism). But the fact is as we grow older, we are forced to open up our eyes and realize that this is not the country we were being taught to be proud of when we were kids. It is actually a playground for power struggle. Because corruption is high, people who are in power would be able to grant approvals, permits, etc for their own monetary gains. Though this is being done more subtly here, whereby the ‘so-called’ policies are still being followed, nevertheless, if you magnify it, you will actually see that Malaysia is not any better than 3rd world countries.

Look at Kenya, rigging of election between Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga. At the end of the day, it is not for the people, it is for their own gains. And why do you think that there is so much hoo haa in Zimbabwe? Why is it that Robert Mugabe despite losing the election to Morgan Tsangerai, insisted on a run-off? This is all about power and money. Just that the 3rd world countries are not as good (yet) in covering their tracks.

As we always see on TV, though it may be fictional at times, but in any CSI episodes, before any samples are taken for DNA, the one being prosecuted will be told of the evidence the police has in hand. There is no need to even take blood or semen samples for DNA profiling – otherwise how in the world did we find 20,000 year old semen in Africa!!! Dry blood maybe possible. Most of the time it’s just a swipe of saliva inside the mouth area. Why ask for BLOOD/SEMEN???

Perhaps our sodomised fella was sodomised (hmmm, by who???) but not by DSAI & taking full advantage now to frame DSAI. The only way to do this is to fool DSAI & rest of the nation by planting evidence; interesting read in RPK Malaysia Today. After all this, we will find the sodomised in exile in Australia somewhere enjoying the millions he got. How sad. Sodomised 8x by a 60yr old. Who would believe? Only god knows. Right now, no evidence = no case. Where is the full police report that DSAI lawyers were demanding for? It is not DSAI delaying the matter, it’s the PDRM. Sodomised father & Uncle petpet should be saying this instead. Show DSAI the report & get on with it. This is the type of people we have governing the country. Those who voted for BN, this is your own doing.

Hilarious! Not only is this a nice example of communicational breakdown, when semantics and context run haywire, it also is a nice clash of civilisation as we know it. I don’t know if you see the point, if you don’t, you prove me right, if you do, you also prove me right, thank you! Actually, this is what happens when a person from an essentially individually orientated society frankly speaks about an observation of his own, and innocently asks a question without any intention of being anything but interested. And this is what happens when a person of essentially a communal society does not understand the curiosity, but perceives an insult, and not of him, but of a whole group.
And to drive my point home, when the question is answered, honestly, by pointing out some person of that group who can swim, and therefore the question was in all honesty considered baseless. It expressed, without any consideration of the ‘I’, that ‘someone else knows to swim and so we are done, we can swim!’.
I had written “we love for someone else to solve our problems”. This applies here as well, we are not aware that we could take matter into our hands, we don’t have the notion of being responsible and accountable for our actions, we do what is instructed. Someone else knows how to swim, may someone else governs for us, may someone else dish out contracts or handouts to us. We gladly pass on the responsibility to swim, or govern.
Which is why 2020, in case anyone still talks about it after all, cannot materialise. Being developed nation cannot be achieved with a populace essentially waiting for someone else to act, to achieve something; and then imbibing that success as ‘we can’. Sorry, Boleh-lah. Is not going to work.

These are the key findings of the Centre of Public Policy Studies.

C. TOWARDS A MORE REPRESENTATIVE AND
WORLD CLASS MALAYSIAN CIVIL SERVICE

2. Malays predominate in all the three service groups. The higher the service group, the
higher its domination by Malays, culminating with 84 percent Malays in the Top
Management Group. The elite service, Perkhidmatan Tadbir dan Diplomatik, is 85
percent Malay (pp. 4-6).

D. CORPORATE EQUITY: PAST TRENDS AND FUTURE POLICY

2. Regulatory agencies ensure that 30% of the equity of quoted firms are owned by
Bumiputera. These agencies do not, however, ensure that individual Bumputera
allocated large volumes of publicly-listed equity, especially during IPOs, retain their
ownership of this equity (pp. 8 & 9).
3. Publicly-listed shares distributed to Bumiputera minority shareholders during IPOs
should be done in a more equitable manner. Currently, an elite benefits from such
IPOs, and these shares are immediately divested for huge profits (pp. 8 & 9, 14).
4. The continuous divestment by Bumiputera shareholders (partly as a means of asset
diversification) has been mainly responsible for the so-called “under achievement” by
Bumiputera in relation to the NEP Corporate Equity targets. Even if this divestment
is not taken into account, Bumiputera share of corporate equity presently is well in
excess of the target of 30 percent, if more objective methodologies of measurement
are used. (pp. 12-19)

So much had been said here and elsewhere regarding the state of affairs in the country we call home.

What has come out of all the views and opinions? Surely someone in position would have taken note of all and sundry? And having sieved through whatever there are, the good and the bad, sensible and nonsensical, wise and silly, novel and archaic, workable and impossible, balanced and off-side, etc., etc., where do we go from here?

The leaders do not seem to be doing what are considered to be urgent and rightful for the general good of the rakyat. Money seems to be pumped here and there on an, at best, ad hoc and reactionary basis. The methodologies ( if, any) do not appear to be cohesive and well thought out. It adds to confusion and glaring inefficiencies the manner the country is being administered.

The rakyat surely deserve better. But in the state of confusion and gross neglect what hope and recourse do the rakyat have? Indeed, the average Malaysians are in a state of loss and disillusioned. Disappointment and anger is everywhere. Don’t the powers-that-be sense these? Certainly we can do away with denials?

In this climate, how does the government hope to attract foreign investment? If the house is not in order, how could we expect our guests to feel comfortable and confident?

The people must not be mislead to believe in whatever the leaders thought are fundamental and final. Certainly Malaysians of all ethnic background are generally a gentle and sensible lot. It is the so-called leaders who are adding salt to wounds, lacking in wisdom and common-sense, who are doing more harm than good.

From the parliament house to the everyday newspapers, magazines and even the electronic media, one can read and hear ill-balanced articles and writings which serve nothing more than provocation and misinformation. To the uninitiated these could be perceived as gospel truths. Racial strive and tension are, more often than not, borne out of these irresponsible and parochial messages. Where do we draw the line?

Race, ethnicity, religion, culture and customs are sometimes taken out of context and being used as cards and chips in the gamble for a place in our society. For those who profess religious beliefs in whatever form and being God-fearing, religions are not to be brought up at all as no one is questioning their right.

The same goes for one’s ethnic background. No one is questioning the colour of another’s skin. If one cares to note, certain politicians are bent on sensationalizing issues of race and their inherent rights, believing that there are protecting their own kind? Why can’t they be fair and sensible to do good for all? Why have to fight for quotas when they can have it all, if they do it right? Thought we are taught to be meritorious the day we stepped into the place called schools? What do we expect of our kids if we don’t practise what we preach?

I pray that Malaysians would open their eyes and mind in this ever great place called Malaysia, lest we fall further backward in this beautiful and challenging world.

Farish Noor touched on the local and foreign political culture. Let’s consider what a first time tourist/foreigner in Malaysia will be asking.

- You don’t pay road tax, do you? (Seing many tolls in the
country)

- Why are the newspaper stories different from those on on-line
news?

- Are there enough police to look after rallies and also to prevent
crimes?

- What’s the education level of your MPs? (After seeing Bung
Mokhtar in action)

- Is your govt on a public relations drive manifesting the pleasant
looking people in public (After seeing Angkasawan, Bakri Ibni and
the latest neing the IGP’s lawyer)

- Is your DPM that magnanimus to meet anybody with problems of
being sodomised?

- Why is it nearly everyday in the news one by one,
people, including your PM, are asking DNA from this Mr Anwar,
your former DPM?

- Do all your politicians from the ruling govt salivate or have
spittle at the corner of each mouth when they debate? (After
seeing Shabery in action)

Because they respect RULE OF LAW over there!

In Germany, holocaust denial is illegal, displays of Nazi symbols are outlawed, extremist parties are kept out of the Bundestag by election laws that stipulated minimum conditions.

What do we see in our Malaysian Parliament?
A BN MP who makes an obscene gesture and gets away with it.
A Speaker who does not apply rules in a neutral manner.
A Minister in the PM’s dept who imposes restrictions arbitrarily on members of the press. Ad nauseum.

Phua Kai Lit

Joke of the day-
” Top chief ask 2nd command – apa itu DNA?,
2nd command ask machai – “check itu DNA apa? boss mau tau”, machai ask cleaning lady – ” makcik lu dengar pasal DNA kah?”,
Makcik said – ” oh it Susu powder lah untuk otak DHA”
So the report on the desk read DNA – susu untuk otak.”

And here I could have stopped. But since, contrary to Farish Noor, I have been observing the makings of our society from the perspective of a sociologist, and not a political scientist, I permit myself to having developed another perspective by meticulously observing the ongoings in our society. And I can only add to the article by stating that, sorry, actually we have somewhat of a government that we deserve. If not, a government that we kind of encourage or aspire. At least sub-consciously.
Not wanting to lecture everyone here and hijack the opportunity myself, one thing is for sure, and this applies to all ethnicities in Malaysia, and contrary to the masses in Europe, we love for someone else to solve our problems! We are just waiting and wanting for someone to step in, ‘the relevant authorities’ how this tends to be expressed, to ‘look into it’. This is a trait that lays the groundwork for exactly the policies that we have. When we are in need of whatnot, we approach the local bureau of the MCA, the MIC, our MP, and pass the baton to them to do what they can to be active on our behalf. Wherever I go in the corporate world, be it Twin-Towers or some SME in Subang, we wait for instructions, try to do our job the easiest way out, write a report back to the authorities, and be nice on all other occasions. When we, Malaysia, needs some knowledge, Hi-Tech, phone system, reliable cars: We approach someone, someone else, outside of Malaysia, to solve those problems of ours. We pay someone else to do the job. Again, this is not limited to certain ethnicities. “Anwar is the better orator”, is what I hear more frequently than a praise of Anwar’s grasp of the ‘gory details’ that are needed to govern a country like Malaysia. Take this as an example only. But ponder about it. We are not really into the kind of work that Farish Noor has observed in Europe. We want a fast, cheap, easy and complete solution. Most of all: One that is provided by someone else.
For me as sociologist it was a horrendous possibility to observe the people after March 8th, especially in the notorious 5 states. There are, really and unbelievably, large numbers of people who, after a few months, think that ‘it was better under BN’, simply because ‘one knew what one had’, and – now listen carefully – ‘PR hasn’t achieved much, have they? Not much of a difference’. This is oil into my fires. Malaysian electorate reluctantly vote, once per 4 or 5 years, to get someone into place to do the job for them. The MCA candidate, because he will understand my problems, the MIC lady because I can approach her for the maintenance of the temple, UMNO because I will get some handout.
As long as this is what we expect people and politicians to do, that is doing our work, delegating our decisions, we will get what we deserve, and Farish Noor will be able to observe great differences in the way politics are administrated.

I was wondering why the authorities did not check the CCTV footage at that luxury apartment. After the crime took place 8 times, there surely be some implicating evidence pointing at DSAI going in and out of the apartment. Hmmmm…the statement given by the victim is also fishy as they contained only general but not specific details..

Another thing.. why didn’t they ask for DSAI alibis? I think they will not cos this will definitely open for public scrutiny and the case will be thrown out in no time.
