I HAVE ORDERED MY GRANCHILDREN TO STAY AT HOME FOR THE WEEK AND MAYBE MORE DEPENDING

It was a long weekend, Malaysians of all races and creeds hit the roads, there was a mass exodus although not as huge as we used to experience in the past but nevertheless in this period a few hundred thousand is already dangerous, very dangerous especially if there are hidden clusters around.

There is the Ulu Tiram cluster and that could be really bad, especially as some priests do commute between parishes,however the Church has been strict with rulings and Bishop Bernard cancelled all Masses the moment he knew of the case of the Seminarian who returned from the Philippines.

Nevertheless we must consider that there can be people who are infected and unless we are sure we can't be sure enough to take risks these are lives on the line. I know the Church will give the authorities all the cooperation, in fact after the relaxation there are Churches who have not opened yet, they want to make sure they have all the control measures in place and one such parish is the parish where I attend Mass.

Then there is the person from Kedah who after being infected attended a Hari Raya function.

This person was exposed to the Sivagangga cluster, knowing this he went for a medical check up, and sought a Covid-19 test at a private clinic on July 27, but it was a rapid test kit (RTK) antibody test which, unlike a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, unable to detect Covid-19 in the early stages of infection. The result was negative. The patient is not  expected to know the difference, he went for a Covid 19 check up and he got one he was negative so he went for the Raya gathering.

Following this the person began to experience symptoms of fever and cough but did not contact the nearest district health office or health clinic for treatment.A day later, after the person was involved in Hari Raya Aidiladha activities, the person informed that he is a close contact of the index case."Following that, screening was conducted using an RT-PCR test and was found to be positive with Covid-19. The person is admitted to Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah for treatment."

Now from the Nort and the South we have exposures that can have far reaching circumstances and the Health authorities must alert the Education Authorities about the risks here and how children could lead to the spreading of the disease even faster.

Let's not be like Tokyo or Victoria and act only when it is too late act now and reduce the risks.

In view of the above I have put my foot down my grand children are not going to school for at least this week, I feel that is no sufficient considering the risks after having read and followed what has happened elsewhere.


Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah please give your professional opinions t the Minister of Education and the Prime Minister they have to act and act fast there is no time to waist.

TDM SAD TO SAY, BUT YOUR SENITLITY IS SHOWING LIKE A WOMAN'S PETTICOAT

August 3, 2020
by Toffee


Do yourself and all of us us a favour Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohmmed, do your children possibly a bigger favour they probably don't have the heart to tell you that, but your senility is showing like a woman's petticoat passing. 


KEPIMPINAN DR. MAHATHIR MOHAMAD, SATU ANALISA TERKINI – Editor ...


It can't be the press, you say one thing at one time then contradict what you said in the first place next and give a lot of cock and bull stories to justify your cheating means.

It has been recorded by your statements on the Anwar Ibrahim succession issue, it is either your senility or your vile ways to get back into power to push your agenda to get your son as heir apparent to sit on the seat of the Prime Minister.

Then again that move in itself displays your senility, your son is not the stuff Prime Minister's are made of,  in fact he looks so much like laughing stock and was probably made Menteri Besar of Kedah for the same reason you made Najib Prime Minister.

Your crooked means to get your son up there as PM, has made you the laughing stock of Malaysians and even so more people in your home state Kedah, one who told me you seem to be in second childhood trying to play hide and seek with your children and it is so damn funny, so much so the people who once adored you and allowed you to do almost anything including taking on the royalty have now discarded you, you are  a laughing stock with them.

You have admitted many a time that your choice off successors have always been bad, that is because you do not consult, you make popular decisions and you ignore what is really good for the nation.

 If you had your head over your shoulders you would have made Rafidah your successor, but then you are so conservative you dared not make the decision that was one big failure of your leadership.

You were not too much of  a leader, you led simple Malays folk by giving them the feel good factor so you literally robbed them and gave your children and your cronies what was rightfully theirs.

You literally pushed both Musa Hitam and Tengku Razaleigh out of office because they were not subservient to you and that was the only reason.

You always expected your second in command to agree with you and if they didn't you treated them with suspicion and did everything in your power to move them out, Anwar was on the verge of exposing you when he came out with his campaign to get rid or corruption, nepotism and cronyism.

You ruined succession in the country you drove away good leaders and did what you wanted and maneuvered things so that you could eventually put your son in place and that would have been most convenient.

After affording preferential treatment to your children and cronies  to succeed in business -  and after they amassed really disproportionate wealth you knew you had to legitimize it,   and what better way than have one of your sons as the Prime Minister of Malaysia to ensure that no investigations would be carried out against your children over the vast wealth created for them by decisions you took whilst  Prime Minister thereby getting the people to forget that even happened and legitimise this disproportionate wealth over time.

Your son is a nobody in politics, his sudden growth of beard is not convincing the Malays of Kedah, more Kedahans feel he is irrelevant and  you have done your time so goodbye for now.

The talk in town is that even you have created vast wealth for yourself and it is held in proxy by others and by corporations that have been around since your days as Prime Minister, this talk is still very much around so much so the corporations cannot achieve their full potential because people still suspect that whilst your proxies walk around as distinguished billionaires.

You have an inherent fear of Anwar and I am certain you will go to any extent to ensure that he is not the PM of Malaysia, you showed it by sacrificing the Government you were entrusted to run by people, you were the mastermind of that move and everything else is hogwash, you are still part of that move because you do not want Anwar Ibrahim to become Prime Minister.

The immense sacrifice that Anwar and Kit Siang made in accepting you although you jailed Anwar for trumped up Sodomy charges, and Kit Siang's son for reporting a rape shows you that these men put the interest of the nation first before themselves and their children at a time Najib was treating the national treasury as his families Piggy Bank and running the country into Bankruptcy, it was even worse then all of you envisaged.

And yet after they made that huge sacrifice you sacrificed them and pretend it was not you, weren't you the man who was so much against sodomy? In the light of photographic evidence you did not even ask Azmin to go on leave till investigations were complete, you kept him close to you and insinuated that it was a political ploy. The other person in the picture even admitted it was him.

You kept Azmin because he was part of your plan and I believe he still is, that is why he has not committed himself to any other political party, he still awaits you and your plan to make him the interim PM and eventually to be succeeded by your son - admit it.

You are such a slimy character you  got DAP really licking your toes they believed in you.

You have a complete hatred for the DAP and more still for Anwar Ibrahim, because with those two parties Anwar was the foregone choice for Prime Minister of Malaysia.

In reality there can be no man who is more deceitful than you in Malaysian politics.

Anwar Ibraahim was  incarcerated by you, only because he was out to stop the corruption, the nepotism and the cronyism you created in government and in UMNO in particular. You saw that as a direct challenge to you and your plans to create immense wealth for yourself and your family, you borrowed ideas from Rockefeller, Ford and the rest, you followed Hitler you are  an ardent  disciple of  Adolf Hitler, your Holy Book is the Mein Kampf and you are very much a fascist to the bone, you just can't hide it, no matter how hard you try, for ever so often it comes back, and exactly like Hitler attacking the Jews you attack the Chinese all in pursuit of your own selfish agenda of making your family one of the richest in the world, via your policy of the  ends justifying the means.

To do this without being hindered you stunted the growth of the Malays, but what do you care, after all you are not a Malay, and you saw the opportunity to really use them to meet your own selfish ends, to legitimise your own Malaayness, you were one of the architects of Bumiputraism. Let all the Malaysians know from the Malayalam word  bhūmiputran(
ഭൂമിപുത്രൻ). Your fake Malayness can be tracked.

You got them to disrespect their fellow Malaysians of other races, like Hitler you made them believe they were the superior race in this land at least, you allowed education policy to be manipulated to the extent that many Malays who have graduated actually do not deserve their degrees and you bloody well know that.

You made professors of unqualified people, you accorded not only degrees but Masters and PhD level qualifications to people who were not fit for it and conveniently placed them in a bloated Civil society.

For the Malays if they were  in UMNO and had the qualifications no matter how useless they were given promotions and placed in high level positions.

If there was a higher promotion you were promoted and if there were two of them, two positions were created and you ran away from it because you knew the system would collapse smack on your face,  it has and it has now so much so there are so many who are asking, how can rationale human beings with (supposedly) such good credentials still support a Najib, a Hadi Awang, a Zahid and even a Rosmah.

Well the answer is with you, do some soul searching but then I doubt you can, because you can't soul search for two reasons, you are convinced you do not have a soul, and the second is even if you want to, your senility is showing like a woman's petticoat.

You sold the trust of the people of Malaysia when knowingly you backed Najib for Prime Minister even when he had the Altantuya Murder hanging over his head. You even were quoted as having said he has taken an Oath in the mosque that he did not do it, then later used that against him when you wanted him out - the ends justifies the means.

That is how you twist and turn stories, you are forgetful when it is convenient to be forgetful that is a trait every Malaysian is aware of, today you say the Chinese are rich and the Malays are poor, I am wondering if you have mega Chinese Billionaires fronting for you and I believe you have so you can continue with that narrative.

Why are the Malays so poor as you put it, it is because of UMNO politics, money that was supposed to go for Malay development went instead into the pockets of the UMNO leadership, we have the BBMB scandal that was totally Bumiputra, we have the  countless audit reports by the Auditor General that have just been placed aside without even consideration leave alone action, then there is FELDA scams, Tabung Haji scams, you name we have it,  and thank God you have  few Chinamen in this country who will still put their money here for without the Hong Leongs, The Kok Groups, the  Tan Chongs etc etc we we may have been bankrupt today.

Money that was supposed to go to the development of the Malays were taken as an entitlement by the UMNO elite who did not even know how to use it and wasted it.

There is very little that can be done against the corrupt in this country because if you really put your finger on the lid there will be just too much.

The only man who can really get the Malays out of this predicament is Anwar Ibrahim and possibly Shafie Apdal, but in your fear of that marriage you did it, you drove a wedge between them.

In saying all that  I said I am not for a moment taking my focus or making excuses for Najib, Najib has to face and be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, you may be too old for that but your children may be in line for that.

You really do not have to worry too much, Anwar is not as vindictive as you are, in a Cerama in Taman Sri Andalas in the run up to the 2013 General Elections he told us this, "I know what Mahathir did , I will not throw him in Jail, but I'll call him and tell him to return this,this and that so we can claim back all our money".

Najib is your mirror image and that is why dislike him because at this age when you look at your image in the mirror and see those wrinkles and the aging skin you completely dislike it, in the same manner you now dislike your protege a man you put there knowing he was corrupt, incapable and dishonest only because you said it was  that his father gave you that opportunity.

What a stupid reason, like I said your senility is showing like a woman's petticoat, so before you lose more respect stay at home end keep quiet let the country sort itself out, and stop using senile logic to try and sort the terrible mess you put us in.

SABAH MAKES THE RIGHT MOVE - LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE


 August 8, 20202
 by Toffee



The Governor of Sabah has most certainly made the right move, in fact Sabah has shown the peninsular that it is the people who matter and their elected representatives are only their representatives placed there by their votes  to represent the people who elected them  in the political parties they were voted to,   and not to jump like political prostitutes into the beds of of any other person or party.
A future PM of Malaysia if the Sabahans support him

People are calling them frogs, no they aren't frogs these are political prostitutes and the difference between the two is this.

The Prostitute is a destitute, she gives up her pride for the sake of looking after herself, her family and quite often even her aged parents, she has dignity, she is dedicated to her children and her aged parents, she is loyal tot them, she is driven by circumstances to the profession.

"Political Prostitutes" have no dignity, they trade the dignity of themselves their families, their parents and their siblings for monitory gain. They sell the principles they swore to uphold when they took their Oath of office, Oath's for them mean nothing, it seems to be picking up and as usual Oaths of many kinds in such circumstances always begin at the top. Political Prostitutes do not worry about the reflection their vile actions have on their children, their siblings and their parents, they shame their parents too and the family name the completely lack any pride.

Musa Aman was once thought nt being able to make it to public office, he looked like was almost  on his death bed, since his corruption trial magically vanished miraculously state
Returned from the Jaws of death
representatives were crossing over to join him, do you believe they did it for free?  Or he would probably claim divine intervention , he was cured to lead Sabah with a host of corrupt politicians for whom rewards in the millions fell from heaven.


The talk is around that it costs millions in two figures to get a single assemblyman to cross over, strangely though the witnesses the could have implicated Musa Aman have all died so there is no case against him, he has been acquitted, now surely the MACC could go to these assemblymen who jumped ship to find out how much was involved and how did the the man who bribed them to make acquire the funding to   pay them, where did all that money come from.

The way I look at it the assemblymen if they  have already received the money will now be asked to return it, well failure will have its consequences, bad luck may fall on them, they could just disappear, or hold on to the funds to get elected again, but then again if the giving was based on the premise that the party they crossed over to will control the government they may be able to hold on to it if the party wins.

The Political Prostitutes had better be careful, in Sabah there are many ways and many places to disappear to, there is jungle, there re terrorists lurking  looking for handsome rewards and much more.
Fuad Stephens Died in a Mysterious Air crash

UMNO's Bung Mokhtar has promised that UMNO will do great things for Sabah if they win, but that is like a broken record we have heard that sung from as far as West Malaysia, each time they sing the song we hear it loud and clear only to witness one of the richest states in the country with  living at standards that can hardly even match some of the African states.

The East Malaysians seem to be the trusting kind, but the rust they have placed on the BN and parties aligned with them is astonishing, the only people who have been benefiting from the Federal Government have  been the greedy and selfish politicians and yet the people of North Borneo give their votes so willingly to these tyrants, I think it is time they stopped nd give anyone else who comes after them some time to right things -after all Rome was not built in a day neither was Jesselton.


It is time for Sabah to be decisive, to give Sahfie Apdal an overwhelming majority, with which no government in the Federation would want to exchange barbs with. Do not allow the Federal government play the fool with your voice the way they once did and see hwat has happened, the people who were to be the torch bearers to lead Sabah have become as crooked.

Improve your tourists industry, let me tell you you have far better beaches than Bali, you have classic sea food, harvest that with care, your next generations need to taste that as well, but let the tourists have some too, and you'll certainly become a tourists destination.

If the Federal Government can't provide you with adequate security for your tourists create your own security detail both on land and sea and make Sabah what it is destined to be the world's best Tourist Destination, you have it flout it and enrich yourselves.

Plotting by the unholy Trinity
Demand what is rightfully yours from the Federal Government, from Petronas and the rest, become a proud nation and believe me you can't do that with UMNO, nor PAS, nor Bersatu but with Shafie Apdal, give him your backing he is most certainly Prime Minister material. 

Take control of Sabah, do not let Federal authorities hold you to ransom using your politicians, which they do now, they allow them to become corrupt, absolutely corrupt and protect them for their support, the minute they do not get it they go for them.

Shafie has shown that he could defy the Prime Minister of Malaysia and he was key to taking that man out of office in the 2018 general Election, in Shafie you have a leader, in Shfie Malaysia as a whole is starring at a leader.

IT'S TIME TO RECOGNISE THE UEC QUALIFICATIONS - WITH CONDITIONS.


 by toffee
1 Aug 2020

EDUCATION AT THE CROSS ROADS - TIME TO MAKE THE CHOICE.

It is important that we recognize that the Chinese Independent schools in Malaysia have a very high standard of education, recognizing them will only enhance the standard of education in the country, and the government should seriously study this proposal.

However we must look at other ares of  National Policy and the recognition must come with general acceptance by all quarters of society.

In the UK there are  five awarding bodies for examinations and schools can choose between them, they are:

i)   AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) 
ii)  CCEA (Council for the Curriculum, Examinations & Assessment) 
iii) OCR  (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations) 
iv)  Pearson, under its Edexcel brand 
v)   WJEC (Welsh Joint Education Committee), under its WJEC and Edugas brand.


Similarly we can have the UEC and the Government type which has the PMR, SPM and the STPM and the UEC can continue with the the Junior Middle and the Senior Middle  exams continuing to be in place.

The government and most Malaysians will will find it beneficial for their Children, many of our senior UMNO ministers themselves have found the UEC beneficial for their children so let us not be hypocrites.

We have to get one thing straight first, the syllabus should be retained but the medium of instruction has to be in Bahasa Malaysia, with English as a compulsory Language and the schools of both streams offering languages of choice which shall be Mandarin, Jawi and Tamil.

I know that may be the obstacle  but if that is the obstacle then all I'll say is it confirms what I said in my last article "All Malaysian are racists or to drive home the point let me state what Nazri once said in Parliament "Bloody Racists" to drive home the point.

Another option would be the teaching of Mathematics and Science in  English, in both mediums.

The change of the Character of the Chinese schools is a must, we can't have our children being  racially segregated from the cradle stage and then complain of racism  in the country. That is totally hypocritical.

If we take a careful look at what is happening in this country we have no alternative then to admit that we are by and large a racist society, all of us the Indians, the Chinese and the Malays. We tend to always be pointing the finger just in one direction but we do not seem to recognize the racism in ourselves.

If we can do a mea culpa  and admit that we have over the years allowed our selves to become more racist and now take notice and do what is right we can overcome the biggest hurdle f our nation, racism.

There is a lot the Government educators can learn from the UEC system and that we should do to enhance the current Government type education in the country, there is also a lot that the UEC systme can do to learn from the Government end, allow the setting up of good and high standard Teacher training colleges, to ensure the teaching profession is highly professional, teachers should be accorded the mobility to move from the UEC stream to the National type stream and vice versa.

Make teaching at all levels a degree qualification, with only the best qualified being positioned in teaching, let's not settle for less, for that is tantamount to a trade off off our children's rights to the best opportunities for education.

Teachers going to rural schools must be given attractive allowances for the best to want to go there and we should conduct Personality tests to ensure that those responding to the teaching profession are seeking that profession as vocation and are not just there for the money.

Make it possible for teachers to switch streams for better opportunities for themselves and  also for the systems, there must be cross breeding, it improves the pedigree.

Teachers should be paid in accordance with their performance and to do this there must be proper performance indicators taking into consideration the types students the teachers are teaching against the performance.

Students must be able to drop a year if they can't make a grade and similarly for those outstanding students there must be an express stream.

I have written before that we should not leave education to a Minister or a Ministry but properly accredited boards  of professionals and we need to get the best, if we need source them form other countries we should.

The job of the minister of Education at best will be to  get the funds needed for education, ensure a good budget we can cut our defence spending by t lest a third if not half to spend more on education. 

Finally do not allow language,or race to come in to fault our education system, leave sentiments aside start thinking as Malaysians, and if the Chinese and Tamil Schools can't agree to a unified schools system with two streams  looking at the welfare of all, where the children are admitted not by race but by choice in a system that allows for fairness for all  shut down in vernacular schools, after so many years since independence we are still confused as to who we are, its time to start changing that.
