APRIL 12 – We are on our own. This is what Malaysians who want to save this country from the corrupt regime of the Barisan Nasional have to realise.
Not too long ago, former Aussie PM Kevin Rudd praised Malaysia as a robust democracy. Can you imagine calling Malaysia a robust democracy? But the people in Canberra will do anything for business or some strategic interests, including sacrificing so-called sacred principles of democracy.
Today, the British PM lauded Najib Razak for the cosmetic surgery on the ISA, he probably wants Malaysia to go ahead and purchase the Typhoon jets.
This is my message to Opposition politicians, non-governmental organisation and Malaysians for change: screw the foreigners.
No Aussie or British or US politician is going to lift one finger even if there is clear-cut evidence of cheating at the coming polls. They want the status quo where they can lord over Malaysia, occasionally patting the government on the back for “being moderate” and prey on the voracious appetite of incumbent politicians for cash and project inducements.
I never thought I would see the day that Malaysians are being “threatened” by foreigners. I suppose the great Mahathir Mohamad the champion of the developing world has lost his tongue.
The Aussie diplomats have been giving veiled threats that Malaysia’s reputation as a investment destination will be hurt if the government backs out of Lynas deal. That is a pack of lies because though MIDA may have given the chaps from Australia all sorts of incentives, not all the licences have been approved yet or issued.
But such is the sellout nature of our government leaders that they even allow some Aussie businessman called Nicholas Curtis to periodically “caution” them about Malaysia’s future as business destination.
Can you imagine, so spineless are our so-called leaders that some businessman from Australia is lecturing them on how a concerted political campaign against the Lynas plant is hurting Malaysia’s reputation.?
It almost feels like as if we are a colony.

///The Aussie diplomats have been giving veiled threats that Malaysia’s reputation as a investment destination will be hurt if the government backs out of Lynas deal.///
In fact, the reverse is true. If the government backs out of Lynas, more investments will come to Kuantan. Do you want to invest in Kuantan where the town is polluted with radioactivity?

//former Aussie PM Kevin Rudd praised Malaysia as a robust democracy.//
Kevin’s great-great Uncle Remus was hanged as a horse thief and train robber at the Melbourne Gaol in 1889.
But Kevin spinned it in another nice way— In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.”

Yes! They did it to China! Before signing projects with China, they smeared and attacked China in all matters! After signing billion projects, their mouths shut with deceptive smiles instantly! One excellent example is the current French President!
Western hypocrisy even worst with African nations, they initiated projects with bunch of lies, after the projects started they demanded unsigned conditions with forces! They even snatched resources by forces!
OXYs/Aussies helping East Timor to gain independence from Indonesia recently years ago with tons of motives. After East Timor independence, OXY started drilling and mining in East Timor oil fields without Win-WIn…
The CIA Covert operations have been financing exile Tibet fake monk, Dalai Lama, with heaps of money to fight against China. The exile monks living in North India need not to work! They travel in First Class Business seats, living in 5-Star hotels, wearing GUCCI sunglasses, pulling Samsonite suitcases and etc-etc..
Likewise, CIA does support financially to exile supporters of East Turkish Movement living in Turkey to attack and fight against Chinese government! Similarly, the West offer many free Education and Scholarships, with substantial amount of pocket money too, to Chinese students studying in their Universities as to buy those students’ hearts and souls for stirring up against Chinese Government for DEMOCRAZY (i.e. fake democracy), eventually!
What a bunch of hypocrisy of the West??? It has been prevailing throughout the centuries?
We, Rakyat, want fair and clean democracy in Malaysia ways!!!

Probably the Aussie guy has a photo Dr Setev is talking about to make such threat to this country.
So typhoon jet is a done deal. Look at our military. Kapalselam yang tak boleh selam. Kapalterbang yang tak boleh terbang. Tapi lebih mahal dari yang boleh terbang dan selam.

Do not put all all foreigners in one basket.
Some life France has helped us in the Highland Tower tragedy and now…the Scorpion submarines corruptions court case.

‘The foreigners can go fly kites’.
Yeah. That’s telling them.
MAS will be very appreciative of the extra business to help them report some black figures for a change.
Kelantan will also be very happy with the extra tourist dollars, American, Australian or Singaporean, although any funny money will be graciously and humbly accepted.

Those dirty foreigners and Umno/BN rogues together can go fly kites!

Syed, don’t be a daisy!
You are fully correct with the assumption that the foreigners are not overly concerned with the democracy in Malaysia. Though, on the other hand, why should they?
Serious:
How many political prisoners does Malaysia have; suffering under torture (Syria)? How many tanks in the streets? Breakdown of civil security? Or even genocide?
Let’s face it, Malaysia is not a shining example of democracy, won’t be, and everyone foreigner knows that. There is quite a lot of cheating in the elections, sanctioned by the government.
But also, a sizeable part of the population is all too keen to vote back a partially corrupt government.
Furthermore, there is a valid and totally correct doctrine of non-interference into other entities (ie countries) internal affairs. Yes, it has been done and is being done (Iraq anyone; and quite a number of others). But does a bad example warrant continuation? Surely not. Therefore, one should not expect; o, one should not even ponder foreign influence for regime change. Everyone has a fair (okay, within limits) chance to effect this change in GE13.
What more do you expect foreign powers to consider?

Beggars can’t be choosers. And under BN, the country is 3% away from bankrutcy. And the white man knows it.
Life is unfair. Deal with it – Bill Gates.
So all patriotic Malaysians must support BERSIH 3:0 and give more power to leaders like LGE who stood up against LYNAS.

Yeah, foreign visitors/diplomats coming to Malaysia should not make remarks obscenely flattering to our leaders lest their action be misconstrued as having a hidden purpose.

Those foreigners together with Liow(MCA and Gerakan included) should respond and deny the following list of BN’s “deeds” if it contains any falsehood that has gone viral in the internet.
