The education would not help. UMNO leaders had given their disapproval before the forum was held. That was the signal for disruption. Chua Sui Lek said that if the police could stop thousands of demonstrators, it was strange that they could not stop 300. The three hundreds were educated people too. They understand the issue. Either they wanted to show that they cared more for the religion than the UMNO leaders or they had to make the statements of UMNO leaders relevant.

It is politics. It is bad when race is concerned, and it become much worse when religion is tied to race.

UMNO leaders place their political future on their appearance as champions of race and religion. They have to keep areas classified as sensitive which require their protection. Even the political had been still call himself defender of race and religion; though he could not even be called Malay before the 1957 Malaysan constitution was established.

It is timely to table a law to fine the Minister and the coalition, party that he belongs to, a certain percentage of the amount of money that the ministry loss so that the coalition or party will force them to resign before the coalition or party becomes bankrupt because of too many cases of losses due to incompetent Leaders and Ministers!!! For eg, if RM70 million was lost, the Minister who was Semi Value, BN and MIC each has to pay 10% (a reasonable percentage could be worked out) of the amount lost, so each has to pay RM7 million rinngits for the MRR2 case!!!

Now all of us know why Semi Value was not awarded with Tunship after retirement after “contributing” so many years in the cabinet as Works Minister!!!

Malaysia will be making a world history by getting into the Guiness World Records with the highest no. of RCI formed to look into scandals!!! Another feather on the cap of BN govt!!!

in Malaysia the contractors sure to make money if they tender gomen project cos they can make a claim even it is CBJ

alas but forgetful Malaysian will be mersmerised by the current Olympic telecast and forget about the Dangerous CHAOS currently happening in Malaysia!!

This is the so-call Malaysian quality – tak cukup standard.

nus is right at the point. it also reveals Works Ministry’s stupidity in approving the design. then one idiot copy another’s, this is what you get. “Quality” problem.

1. The FAST LANE RIGHT UPRAMP turning right to Taman Rahman Putra if travelling from Kepong to Sg Buloh. How can divert traffic away from the highway from the right fast overtaking lane . This ramp support pillars cause day crawls below it during the morning and evening peak hours.

2. The same thing at LDP turning from Jalan Damansara to SS2. Now there is a major works to flyover from KL to Sg Buloh over this “wrong” flyover.

3. Years ago another fast lane UPRAMP out from Jalan Kuching from KL to Jalan Sultan Ismail. In the morning jams any back up into the fast lane may cause a serious accident.

4. Another new Fast Lane UPRamp out is at Jalan Lornie opposite RTM from KL. This new ramp goes to the Pantai Highway. Vehicles going to PJ would have to swerve left to avoid going up the ramp. I have noted so far two knocks by vehicles onto the left nose of the ramp. This is wrong and dangerous construction and have to be dismantled as soon as possible before more accidents occur. More so because this is just after a corner so drivers are not aware. After these accidents a sign has come up but the danger is still there because of inherent wrong placement of ramp.

Continue with my story the poor and messy signboards did not help me after I took the left level exit. I had to make awkward manourve to turn right and then left to get onto the old Kepong Road. The cars behind honked at me.

There should not be any ramp out at the fast lane.

I have also travelled on the MRR2 later and found that the 60 kph signs during the 3 serious repairs are still there. The authorities should replace them with 90 kph as this is a dual carriage 3 lane highway.

He’s been missing from the public light that some of us miss his daily antics. Life is not the same since he left the scene.

Hope to see and hear more of you soon, Samy. Entertain us.

///This left me in a quandary. As head of the Government I had to ensure the success of the NEP objective of reducing the disparities between the bumiputeras and the non-bumis. This reduction must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich. It wouldn’t do to have parity among the low income and middle income only, while big businesses are all in the hands of the non-Bumiputera millionaires.///—TDM in Chedet.com

I registered with CheDet.com and was invited to comment on the web. But when I click on the link, I am asked to register again, and it goes on.

The problem of the NEP where the rich becomes richer especially among the Malays is because of the policy as stated by TDM that “This reduction {in economic disparity} must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich”. NEP had the twin objectives of poverty alleviation and not linking race to economic activities. It never mentioned that big business cannot be all in the hands of any person, race or religion.

It is because government considered it proper to intervene rather than to allow Malay businesses to grow big when they are efficient and competitive, they have chosen the only short cut to put public funds in the pockets of private persons, so long that they are Malays. Of course the persons who had the power would choose whoever he wanted to be the very rich bumiputras-billionaires. It would be corruption to allow public funds to be in the pockets of private citizens, and allowing government funds to support the creation of multi-billionaires is against ACA rules. But when the PM decides in the name of the Cabinet that it was the objective of the government to do so in the name of NEP, even though it was not provided as the official NEP objectives, then corruption is legalized.

TDM had clearly added policies not envisaged by NEP as part of it, and he refused to end NEP in 1990 after it has been implemented for one generation as promised by Tun Razak. TDM is now more concern to justify his action and to refute that he practiced cronyism when he was the person who decided who should be the beneficiaries to become very rich Malays. TDM claimed that the Malays who are superrich businessmen were themselves successful to be where they are. Of course TDM pretends not to understand that rewards have to be commensurate with efforts, and he had been playing God in choosing who should be over compensated for the efforts they put in. He disturbed the basic justice of one reaps what he sows.

May 13 was not a spontaneous act of violence out of jealousy and poverty, much less because of disparity in the collective wealth of different communities. Razak government used the excuse of economic inequality to push through NEP firstly to show that he cared for Malays more than Tunku, and secondly to ensure that he kept the vote banks for UMNO, and him as President.

TDM hijacked NEP policies to make sure that there are very rich Malays, and that could number in hundreds and not millions. But to make the few hundreds very rich, the tens of millions have to subsidize the hundreds of Malay superrich candidates. Yes these few superrich Malays would make TDM very proud. Was he a racist to feel proud that his Malay cronies are very rich? Was it an excuse so that his children can be made very rich, as part of the policy.

Had TDM not included in NEP “This [economic disparity] reduction must be achieved at all levels, not excluding the rich and the very rich”, Petronas funds might have been better used to create a robust economic environment where Malaysians would not have to depend on oil subsidy today when they are at a higher income level.

TDM has been a liability, and he was 22 years too late in resigning his post as PM.
