The AES System - "Let's Turn The Tables."

Don’t fight the AES system just screw it up, and screw it up by adhering to the law, even at 110 KPH you’d jam the major highways of the country so don’t fight it just screw it up and turn the tables, on them.

 

If what this blog is saying can be followed, I can guarantee all Malaysians that this AES scheme will get screwed up,  and all the money the corrupt people behind this scheme hope to get will turn into nothing, nothing more than a terrible nightmare.

 

Let's give them this nightmare!!!!!!!

Here's how it is done.

How often have you tried to be a law abiding citizen and set your car to auto cruise at 110 KPH or at 90KPH or even at 80KPH as the speed limits of the various highways indicate, only to get an idiot come behind you and flash his headlights for what he perceives is hogging and forces you off the fast lane.

If you travel at the maximum speed allowed on the fast lane you do not have to give way to anybody behind you even if it is the Prime Minister of Malaysia,  or the Chief of Police and you should not do it,  because you are doing the maximum allowed on the roads even in an emergency, and by giving way you are encouraging the driver behind you who wants to overtake to break the law,  so stick to the max and keep on the lane, you are traveling at the maximum speed allowed on that road, anything faster will cost you a precious RM300/ of which half or fifty percent will go to the crony who is now being commissioned to operate the system to catch you.

Just imagine,  this government's attitude is to make laws to make money out of you to feed their cronies who most often happen to be their own family members.

Now with the introduction of the AES if you are on the KESAS for instance, (the highway with the highest toll rates in the country) your Maximum Speed limit is  90 KPH.

Assuming you are coming from Klang move to the far right, if you have one of today’s modern cars for  which this speed limits set are really so impractical,  drive it at a very slow about 88KPH and turn on the auto cruise, which is the best you should do  ( do not do 90 KPH given that  the Automated Systems  will have a margin of error) and continue at that speed regardless of any vehicle behind you. If you do 90KPH there is chance that you'd get caught for speeding as there are margins of error in the system, in your car etc. if they catch you for hogging tell them you are traveling at 90 KPH and that is the fastest allowed.

At 90 KPH on the Kesas? Even 110 on the North south is too slow.

Do the same in all the other highways, I tried it on the KESAS and the Federal Highway and guess what?

I stayed on the fast lane in the KESAS at 90 KPH and the Federal Highway at 80KPH at different times of course, I had a huge train behind me. and drivers staring at me when they overtook me on the left lane,
they would not have done that if they knew what I was up to,  in the Federal Highway especially,  because by the time I reached the Subang toll approaching from Klang at 11.00 a.m there were at least about fifty cars queuing in each of the TAG lanes alone, there were many many more arriving into the other lanes,  I paid using my tag drove across parked my car on the far left, and smiled and watched the huge  traffic jam I just created.

Do you see the impact?

Remember  I was  not hogging the road,  I was only  going as fast as I am allowed to  legally, if I decided to do it from Port Klang I really wonder how big a jam I would  have created just to make sure I was not going to be victim of the AES and pay one of Najib's cronies maybe even his wife the fifty percent. I am told that Rosmah wants her finger in any business that is sure to win, and this may be one.

Screwing  up the AES,  Najib and all.

Pardon me for using the KESAS as the example, as it is my  most frequented highway, it is a three lane highway and by the time I reach Bukit Jalil from Klang I pay a whopping RM6.60 and on my return it is the same, and so I pay as much as RM13.20 now that is more than what some people earn in a day, and that too I have to pay a hefty price for my fuel, because this government has given our subsidies to Mahathir's children and their cronies in the form of Petronas shares, so we do not enjoy the benefits derived out of our own resources, it is reserved for the higher ups in UMNO.

Now as usual I am digressing so let's return to the plan.

If you get into the Kesas at Port Klang interchange, remember when approaching you are supposed to be traveling at only 70 KPH that is the town limit, for the morning office hours crowds it is a a reasonable speed but I doubt you should be doing that, the roads are bad so take it slow, no hurry, because when this campaign begins even your bosses will be late for work no one can help it and even your bosses do not want to pay these kind of  fines and are not foolish enough to fall for system to enrich people for free.

If you do what I suggest in the paragraph above you will bring a train with you into the KESAS, now move to your right and start your journey at a maximum speed of about 88 KPH that is just below the 90KPH reading on your meter and if you are doing that do it on  the right lane,  which is the right lane as it is called the speeding lane or the overtaking lane,and you can't overtake at a speed above 90 KPH

Now when you reach the  Klang/Banting intersection  there will be a huge influx of traffic  joining you, keep your speed and keep your lane because you may need to slow down to allow traffic in, allow them in and continue to do what you have been doing. Those coming from Klang have to take the same approach, keep to  right if you are doing the maximum speed at  88KPH,  slower cars in the middle and end lanes.

Then the next groups to join the huge train we will be creating will be  drivers from the Bandar Botanic and Bandar Puteri  intersections, all have to follow suit if you want to go fast which many of you do,  follow the max 88KPH rule, there as as many as 6 cameras on one side of that highway alone and if you are caught by one in one day you'll end up paying RM1800, I am sure you are not in such a generous mode unless of course you are a director of the AES Company where you can even get your summons quashed, or even if you can't what is to you, you will only use our money to pay your summons. 

We  have to develop that habit in the KESAS the 90 KPH maximum speed on the right lane which is the right lane for speeding, and the maximum speed is 90 KPH or you break the law, and if you do that this stupid government and its cronies are going to kiss arse.

Now by the time the traffic has reached the Jalan Kebun interchange  we would have built a considerable train of vehicles following us,  continue doing what you are doing speeding at 88KPH you are not supposed to go faster than 88 KPH, we would have by now created a massive jam at the Bukit Kemuning toll gate, if you see that jam you have reason to be happy for once, just imagine being happy to see a jam, I bet you you will be happy, I experienced it and I know  and you'll know you  created  a massive traffic Jam, and I really can't describe how happy it will be.

Create a Grid Lock Day in Day out
  The cameras  from Port Klang to the Bukit Kemunig intersection will record a  (what a good friend of  the family once referred  Aunt Johnson)  dapat kosong for the owners of the AES.

Now by the time you reach USJ or the Kewajipan interchange you would  have helped triple the massive jams  coming from both sides that is if the other side adopts the same approach, the police will take leave and go into hiding, because what you’ll do is effectively create a grid lock but believe me it is not you who are doing this,   you are being a most responsible person by obeying the law,  it is the system and the antiquated piece of legislation  that is doing it, you are legally right it is happening because they want to enforce the laws and because we want to follow the same the only difference is we do not want to be fooled into enriching them.

The approach continues on all highways on all intersections, for those of you who do not know, a grid lock is when traffic comes to a standstill.

The people approaching the highways from the townships of Klang,  Shah Alam, and Subang Jaya , Petaling Jaya,  Puchong, Cheras, Kajang etc. will have to be mindful on the fast lane, if on the fast lane be only at the maximum speed allowed so you can't be charged for hogging, in the townships you will follow the limits, in some places it is 60KPH but it is mostly 70KPH for town limits although there are areas where it is as low and 30KPH follow them religiously do not break the law be very law abiding if the roads are bad go slower it is alright.

This will bring huge numbers of traffic in town to crawl, do not try and do not attempt illegal maneuvers , just follow the law and we’ll create a grid lock like this police force and the Government in particular have never seen. It will expose the inadequacy of their traffic schemes that they keep bragging about.

Do not obey the policeman if he tells you to speed, you are going to be caught by another system and you do not want that, because the Police will wash their hands off once the ticket for RM300 arrives on your doorstep.

The same must be followed in the LDPE, the Silk, all the highways that have heavy trafficc for it is here that the system will be put in place the Penang Bridge is a one other gold mine for this AES System so do the same there. The Penang bridge will be chaotic at the least.

Now can you see how this government works, it creates laws not to protect you but rather to screw you up, it knows or it perceives you to be stupid, so every time it wants to collect money from you in one form or another it creates the situation, the money collected from you does not go to the government to come back to you in some form of a benefit, it only goes to feed themselves and their cronies, to buy palatial homes overseas, to keep the money stashed in overseas banks so that when they have bled us dry they can abscond to their new homes in Europe, America and Australia. These people are not interested you in me, not interested in the Bumiputra, all the slogans they use are only for their own personal benefit. "Nambekei" my foot nambekei especially Najib of all people.

Your BN Government and How it plays its role.

Well if Bukit Aman comes to me for publishing this article it will only be because they’ll  not be able to collect money and that is true, they will do it at the instigation of the Government and the Attorney General will draft the charges against me. Will they be able to? Of course tell me where they have failed, they always succeed in making the illegitimate look so legitimate.

This brings me back to the crux of the whole issue, this government is not keen in teaching people to follow the laws, they are not keen to show people the relevance of the laws,  they are so lawless themselves they are crooks and so we have with them the law of the jungle. 

They make new  laws, put them  in place, then use the enforcement people to go after  every Anwar, Kit Siang and Karpal for supposedly breaking it, but when they break these laws it is alright, and the protection they  have is the attorney general, he can choose to prosecute or not, and believe me our present attorney general will never on his own initiative either initiate a prosecution nor investigation  against the big guns in government, he actually finds that impossible in a system that is already compromised.


This government is not interested to ensure road safety, they never were, a look at our road signs will tell you that they love to confuse you no end, so that you pay maximum toll, now they have resorted to this traffic fines for speeding to increase their ill gotten gains from self enriching revenue schemes such as this.

On the North South a speed limit of 110 is a dangerous speed, because with  today's modern cars this speed is really slow, the monotony of the drive is bound to make a driver sleepy, they know it and yet they will not increase that limit, however it is okay for them with outriders to travel at between 130KPH and 160 KPH when they use these highways. Is that not dangerous for the outriders, the drivers of the vehicles and the rest?

I'd think up to 130 KPH for a 2000 cc vehicle is safe, but in the excesses of that even the Prime Minister's  car is not safe,   because of his body weight alone  and even in the case of   the combined weight of him and Rosmah would drastically affect the stability of the car. The highway is no racing track.

Their actions show that they intend to capitalize from this law  rather than use  it effectively for the benefit of the people, the companies entrusted to carry out this exercise  are  forecasting billions in revenue and pre-tax profits, escalating over the years, have you ever heard of such a thing in law enforcement - profiteering. 

How vulgar can it get?                                                   

                                                                                                            Can these two be safe in a speeding car?

They are making fools of us, bad enough after the next elections if they win, we are going to pay tax for buying underwear and everything else, we’ll pay income tax, we pay road tax, now they are running out of avenues to steal from us  and they have decided on the AES,  it is a big one.
  

Mahathir  has publicly admitted that he has enriched his sons, and has asked why only when it was him we make noise. Is that how a "leader" rationalises?

Leaving all that aside remember to keep to the fast lane at the maximum speed, if you do 110KPH coming in from Seramban daily for work in KL and stick to the fast lane remember you are not wrong that is the fastest you can go and you are not to encourage others from breaking the law by giving way for them to go faster, you can  clog the Seramban KL highway, if you follow the limits going into Melaka it will be a huge surprise, but the Klang valley will suffice it is here they’d hope to make their billions from.

Four toll highways, the NKVE at 110KPH you’ll do 108Kph and lock your auto cruise, the Federal Highway at 80KPH so you’ll do 78 KPH and KESAS at 90 KPH so you’ll do 88KPH and I can assure you we’d bring this system to a grinding halt or get realistic speed limits and send this AES system to the grave, let us bury it together with the BN.

The surest way to make a fast buck was to put up speed highways and place slow maximum limits on those highways, that is something we all knew, now they have found a way to enhance this at the expense of the rakyat too. 

What is actually happening is that Malaysians are being made to pay for their own  indifference, yes, it is our indifference that we are paying for and it is time to put a stop to it now.

We can’t be that way anymore, we have to fight it, we have to fight fire with fire so wake up.
 
I am not asking you to break the law in anyway, I am encouraging you to adhere to the law, adhere to laws put in place to screw you up and then in the process screw them up.

This can be done and it must be done, I urge the opposition parties to champion this cause, I know some good UMNO people who will give me their fullest blessings but because they are so UMNO they can't  come out  in the open.

I was there today at the UMNO GE, not in the hall though, I heard the talk about "Ketuanan Melayu" that was all the big boys were talking to members about, I was  in the corridors to listen to the whispers when my good friend ZH quietly told me that I had been spotted, someone had recognized me and the word was spreading to get me out, I slipped out quietly.

I'll be connecting with ZH soon, from what I managed to learn  the Najib camp and the Muhyidin camp were still suspicious of each other, everyone thinkgs Hishamuddin is a fool,  I wonder how he made it up there though, but I did not find out more I have ZH and many others to keep me posted for my later writings.

I will not be surprised if  he calls for elections now, it looks very much like it, and then you'll see how true what I said about the Muhyidin pressure on him is all about.

It's the final countdown - it's Exclusively Najib

There is a virtual media blackout and the focus is exclusively on Najib.

On directives, a smattering has been offered to Muhyiddin but it has to be exercised with great  caution and the media are to    be selective about what and how to report his activities.                                                                                                                                                             

Chua Soi Lek has been moved to the opium room, he is to sit in the darkness of the opium dens contemplating his next moves for the General Elections, save from hidden cameras,  whist he will be given a peek or two in the media.

MIC will remain in the doldrums, and can only appear with Najib or appointed UMNO men who will speak on their behalf, MIC by itself can do nothing only UMNO can, that is the message and it applies to MCA too.

Hishamuddin is to be totally blacked out, he tends to throw the spanner into the works by exposing his level of intelligence, so in order to save the blushes his mouth taped, and Nazri has been appointed as limited spokesman, whilst  Rais has been asked to go into virtual retirement his usefulness or rather uselessness  has been served.

It is a high level hardcore campaigning that has begun, it's focus is  on Najib and Najib alone, it is a kind of "Rosmah Strategy,"  in which one must be able to read between the lies, as is usually the case.

The Indian Promise

In his Deepavalli campaign and part of his "Nambekei Campaign" he lined up the present and past MIC top brass to ensure the Indians that the Condo project by dolomite Industries next to Batu Caves would  be halted to save the caves and the Sri Maha Mariaman temple.

Let us now read between these lies.

Way back in the 70's  the same firm that has been given the approval to build the Condo by the previous  BN government,   was amongst others including the JKR who had quarries that  were blasting the rock in the  area, the other being the Kennison Quarry.

The Dolomite blasting site was a mere 500 meters or so from what is  called the dark caves.

To better understand what we are talking about, Batu Caves was the name given to a whole formation of caves in the area, which includes the Temple cave, the dark cave, the Sakai cave, the Museum cave, the Fallen cave and the Quarry cave. 

The Sakai cave and the Quarry cave are known to be completely destroyed.

The amount of money reportedly paid to the Selangor (BN) Government at that time by the two Quarries  (that was in 1970's)  was 300 thousand pounds annually, yes Sterling Pounds and not ringgit.

In the mid 70's  Shahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) initiated a save the "Save Batu Caves Campaign" which was almost immediately supported by the Malaysian Nature Society, The Environmental Protection Society and the Batu Caves Protection Society which the then  BN  state government of Selangor actually treated with disdain and were hardly concerned about.

They were totally indifferent to these groups and yet some members of the Batu Caves Protection society who have  claimed to have fought hard at that time pretend not to know the real problem today and support the BN Government who are the actual culprits behind the condo project.

In 1978, as usual at the eleventh hour the Ministry of Science Technology and environment submitted an urgent  report to the Selangor Government  warning that serious damage would berfall the caves if immediate action was not taken as cracks began to appear in the caves.

Sometime in 1980 two years after that report was sent to the Selangor (BN) government the blasting was ordered to come to halt in June, albeit after prolonged delays,  and with damage already in place, more cracks on the caves and stalagmites had come falling down the action was deemed to have been unnecessarily delayed.

Later despite this damage,  the Selangor (BN) government of the time after having ordered the quarries to cease operations by June of that year gave them an extension to December 31st  for reasons that the infrastructure for the new sites given to these quarries were not in place.

The BN Governemtn was not bothered about the Hindus and their interests, the quarries brought in more money probably  and although this is National Monument it seemed to  be of no significance, it could be come crumbling down and they would not care the damn and this attitude was publicly displayed by the Selangor State (BN) Government.

The BN State government's arrogance has been long  forgotten but let me take all of you down memory lane again and refresh your memories, the then Chariman of the Selangor State (BN) Government's Batu Caves Committee Sabaruddin Cik in response to the protest of the NGO's urging the State government not to extend the blasting deadline had this to say, "the members of the Save Batu Caves Campaign can jump from an aeroplane, sleep on the road, slaughter goats or do anything but the State (BN) Government will stand firm on its decision." This was the disdain with which the BN government of Selangor treated the Hindus and the Batu Caves, it would at a later stage in its history manifest  this again in the destruction and desecration of temples in the state.


Today this same man who as Deputy Prime Minster did not lift a finger whilst the  Selangor Menteri Besar of  the time  the infamous Khir Toyo went  about breaking and desecrating Hindu Temples,and whose government was responsible for the award of the condo project is promising the Indians that "if" they vote the BN inot power, he'll make sure that the condo project is scrapped.

Why the "if"?  Is he really sincere?

Do the Indians make the majority of the voting population in the state?

How can the Indians and in particular the Hindus (as there are Muslims, Christians and Sikhs among the Indians) ensure a BN victory?

Can't he as Prime Minster use his powers to save a "National Monument" right now?

Why wait till the elections are over and set it as a condition on a minority to win the state for him?

Where is  the sincerity if there must be a condition?

Even if Barisan wins the state which is almost an impossibility, will he  say that it was not won on Indian vote alone and let the condo project continue?

Can't he also claim the Indians voted against him? You can do anything with a minority, and the Indians are a minority who this BN government nevver treated well at all.

Where is the Nambekei? 

Can this man be trusted?

What we know that he as Prime Minster has the powers to stop the project iimediately as it  poses a great danger to a National Monument, declared such under the third Malaysia plan.

Indians will be really foolish to vote the BN there is no sincerity at all.

What agreement the Selangor government had with Dolomite and Kennison is anybody's guess, all papers were taken out of the State Government building before the handing over of power and we all know that.

More importantly

Save for the  Temple in the caves, which is sacred to all Hindus in the country and many Taoists and  Buddhists, it is  is also a big draw for Tourists,  in fact  the biggest tourist attraction in the KL Selangor region because of this Temple, this cave is a national monument  that  status was granted  these caves in the Third Malaysia Plan.

It is also home to the maxburretia a rare and beautiful palm found  no where else in the world but on these limestone hills, and at least two Hoya Occulasa an ornamental house plant including 175 other species that can only be found in such limestone hills. It is also common knowledge the caves are home to bats and snakes of various kinds and yet the BN Government has not been really bothered about it, in fact they even did not bother about the sanctity of the Temple having attacked the HINDRAF members who sought refuge there and that attack was given tacit support of the MIC at that time.

Today the same BN government who approved the Condominium project with the full knowledge of its MIC members who sat at the various meetings are pointing the finger at Pakatan Rakyat.

Those are the lies about the Batu Caves, there is no real motivation for the MIC to ask Najib to put a stop to the destruction of this Temple first, on the grounds that it is sacred to the Hindus,  secondly and yet importantly to them and all Malaysians, on the grounds that it is a National Monument which gives him Najib the power to intervene, so why the "If."


Now all that is not at all important to the MIC and the BN, what is,  are their seats in the Selangor State assembly that is all the MIC and the BN are  interested in, nothing less, nothing more and therefore the MIC supports the Najib's "If."

"IF" is found only in the dictionary of fools, are all Indians to be made fools of?
 

The All Important Lynas

Why has Najib shied out of the Lynas project.

Has he or Rosmah got a vested interest in that project?

Are there other Malaysians who are not supposed to be named involved in that project?

Why is such a project that has absolutely no benefit to this nation being given so much?

Can other Malaysians who will  benefit from  this project,  have such interest registered  it registered in a separate country to avoid detection?


There are just too  many questions to be asked of  a government who seemingly sells the souls of its  people for material gain.

Lynas will operate in Malaysia on a prolonged tax holiday in spite of the fact that no other country in the world would want to have this plant in their territory, even Australia that is now suffering job shortages does not want it there, although they have vast tracks of uninhabited land  and the raw material on their own home ground they'll not do it even if it were  for premium tax benefits the kind that they'll get from no other operations to  relieve their  governments of their respective revenue burdens.

Why then is Malaysia granting Lynas the opportunity to operate this rare earth plant that is proven to be dangerous,  here on a tax holiday after we have suffered the consequences of  such operations in Bukit Merah?

The Philippines will not have it, Indonesia will not have it both countries have islands that are free in which they could  site this plant, but in Malaysia  boleh lah,  because we have got Barisan Nasional, they'll sell kit and kin for their own benefit and we have seen that time and again.

We have the distinct advantage or should I say the disadvantage of having had first hand experience of what this does from the Bukit Merah project in Perak that is indeed a distinct advantage when it comes to  even thinking of putting up such a plant, but our authorities have just decided to go ahead, the gains to them are many although Malaysians in general will have very little to benefit.



Even China which is the world largest producer of rare earth has warned the world that is going to drastically cut down its production, in fact China is scaling it down as it now sees the ill effects of the project and even in that nation now the effects are being seen and the people are revolting only that all such news have been blanked out.

China will scale down to the extent that they will have sufficient only for domestic industry demand, this means that all foreign countries that  have been dependent on China will have to look elsewhere.

Will Lynas now double or even triple its capacity to dope with the China vacuum to our detriment?

The waste product that comes out of processing rare earth are  the dangerous material, we do not have rare earth here in Malaysia, it is abundant in Austrailia, it is a source of great revenue, the Australians are laughing, they are going to sell the rare earth to us and we are going to carry the risks and the burden.

The burden is exposure to radiation to our citizens, what will happen to all our tourists resorts in Pahang and the East Coast?

What will happen to life in the East Coast itself?

Are there any traceabilty systems put in place to ensure that all the biproduct or rather waste are sent back to Australia?

And how can that be when Australia has declared that it will not allow this material abck to their respective countries?

If it is not going to be stored in Malaysia are we going top be party to a clandestine effort to have it sent to a poorer third world country in retuned for some form of bribery to its ministers?

If it does not pose a risk or danger as we have been told so  many times have Najib,  Mahathir, Muhyiddin, all the UMNO, MIC and MCA exco use it as building material for the homes of their own children.

Will they dare do that to prove to us that the material is not dangerous?

The people of  Pahang  have been crying out, to this  government.

Theirs is a BN Government in the state,  they have been crying out to Najib who is from Pahang too.

Najib has not dared go and meet them, and the only reason one can see  is because the interest groups  in this Lynas project have already collected their dues from the interested parties in advance,  they have all been committed to this project in one way or another, there seemingly is no turning back.

Few Malaysians if any,  will want to work on this project when they see how it will affect their lives, then these positions will be filled with more foreigners.

Those who work there and continue to, even after discovering the hazards will do so out of sheer desperation. Now is this how we want to treat our people?

The Company will not be paying taxes when it should be paying compounded taxes for such a project,  but even with that we should  be saying "No Thanks."

So what is the benefit of this dangerous Lynas plant?

Now are there Malaysians of sufficient influence who are to be beneficiaries of  this project?

The answer can only be a resounding,  Yes!!!.

Is  the leadership of UMNO or for that matter Barisan Nasional aware of who these people are?

The answer is yet another resounding,  Yes!!! It is people - most probably from their very own ranks.

Given all the hazards such a venture will subject the citizens of  this country to, and given the fact that this government is totally indifferent to the desperate calls of its own people it  can't be any other way.

There must be  personal and vested interests of groups or individuals aligned to the Barisan Nasional with this Lynas project it can't be any other way.

Raub's Gold Mine

Raub is the other case, it has been suffering in silence.

Will Najib go to Raub, will he meet with citizens who live next to the Gold mine, or will he allow the interested parties to twist the arms of the poor who live there.

I went there I saw for myself what is happening there, some of them are so scared to speak, they have been intimidated and they have told me so.

Both Kuantan and Raub are in Pahang - Najib's  home state, he pretends nothing is wrong, and he allows it to happen, can a man who does not even care for  his own home state care for  the country?

Should  we always wait to see and regret in hindsight, remember what Sababruddin Cik said in Selangor at the height of the Batu Caves campaign, rememebr Mahathir Bin Mohammed defending the Bukit Merah Rare Earth project, where he sent his own people to the slaughter so to speak, the profits probably far outweighed the lives of the poor people of Bukit Merah and remember that most of them were poor Chinese.

So Chua Soi Lek come out of your opium den, or are you going to tell the people of Kuantan and Raub "if the MCA wins all will be right?" is that to be the condition or are you convinced all is right with the Lynas plant, will you use the the used material which is deemed to be dangerous to build homes for your children?

I'll not bet on that, after all you are from MCA.


As one of my Chinese friends so rightly put it, "the entire MCA General Assembly was directed towards UMNO," it was so glaringly shown there that MCA are nothing but servants of UMNO,  serving the interests of the UMNO warlords.

Remember Memali,  Mahathir created it and blamed Musa for it. Memali was not in Johor, it was in Kedah, he was born in Kedah the son of a man of  Malabari origins from India, he could not and refused to empathize with this group of rural Malays, see what is happening to the Penans in Sarawak, is it the work of people who care?

Whilst UMNO reigns supreme betraying its trust  given by the Malays all these years, where UMNO elite have taken all the benefits for themselves and  the MCA and the MIC follow suit  leaving  parties like the Gerakan to  look like orphaned children they are neither here nor there, they may mean good but their association with the "Scoundrels of Malaysian Politics" the BN has placed them in that category and they consequently have lost the trust of the people now it seems the whole of BN is driving in that direction.

 Winning Elections using imported "Manthram"

This is a time tested strategy of many in UMNO and Najib's today UMNO is no different, unknown to many staunch UMNO members who are staunch Muslims this practice goes on.

You do not win elections by the use of  black magic imported from Kerala by one of your cronies.

Although the use of manthram was a method practiced by many UMNO men including one who thought he would  be resurrected after being chopped up by local a lady Bomoh and two of her followers,  there have been others who for a long time now have been importing this from South India.

The manthram I am referring to has nothing to with Hinduism or any other religion, it is purely a form of Indian Witchcraft shunned upon by peoples of all religions in India.

Ask the Malaysian Hindus and they'll tell you that the biggest and strongest "manthram" comes from Kerala, it is supposed to be very powerful, and it is said that a Malaysian Christian Indian - a close confidante of the very unpopular  spouse of a very senior minister is out there bringing back this portions for his mentor with whom there is a huge joint business project at hand.

Both the spouse of  the senior minister and this businessman  have many common traits they share besides just this manthram and their new business venture.

The project that will be shared with this spouse of the minister and this Malaysian Indian manthram man is apparently part of the big allocations meant for  Bumiputras. She, not having the expertise, plus the lack confidence that her husband will  not  be around  in power for  long,  has decided to share this with the big Indian businessman who is also the defacto manthram man,  after all he knows the source manthram so for her  its a case have manthram will do.

What was promised to the Bumiputeras in the NEP and subsequently after the NEP,   is and always has been  actually grabbed UMNO elite, leaving the crumbs for a newly created middle class Bumiputeras who drive around in Honda Accords and BMWs but who can ill afford even its maintenance leave alone the petrol,  they are the real poor who have to look rich on empty pockets, I am sure if they read this they will realise it.

The removal of English as the medium of instruction in schools where even English teachers can't speak the language well was done to keep the Malay masses ignorant, and together with the control of the Malaysian mass media they'd be able to control these Bumiputera masses who would  subsequently keep them in power.


With that ignorance they can continue to manipulate the Malays the way they have always done, and the assurance being able to continue to   manipulate the masses  is there in the Malaysian education system today.

The inability to address the question of vernacular schools, and its purpose,  the hindrance such schools pose towards national integration 55 years after Independence is a planned objective of this government, it is in dividing the nation that they  will rule, so a recent call for a rebirth of our Merdeka is not too wrong.

Surely in the next 45 years  we should  be able to come together as one people and one nation regardless of race or creed, we must identify as Malaysians and surely too we can't do this with he BN or with UMNO for that matter.

That is a quality I see among Malaysians of all races who are outside the confines of this BN framework and its mindset.

Today 55 years after independence the greatest  majority of the "have nots" in the Malaysian populace are the Malays and the other Bumiputeras, it is only lip service that is paid to them, all the allocations meant for their betterment has been channeled to make multi - millionaires and multi billionaires of the selected few children of top ministers and their cronies as can be clearly witnessed, one  has even been voted to be awarded the businessman of the year by UMNO.

Whist these elite become rich at the expense of the masses any attempt to ask for better and more meaningful minimum wages is  being touted as  "detrimental to national productivity which will scare away foreign direct investment" by this BN government, when the real detriment to national productivity in this country  is the widespread "corruption, nepotism and cronyism" the very issues  for the incarceration Anwar Ibrahim if you remember well.

Yet with all this, this government led by Najib is going around this country with its slogan of "Janji di tepati," and the people influenced by state controlled media are beginning to believe it.

What the last elections  proved is that Malaysians can't be easily fooled, the question is are they going to be this time around?

The mass media has been ridiculed, no one believes them anymore, their political pages are shunned, by the very people who buy the papers, the big Deepavalli campaigning will be followed by a big X'mas rally where he will play Santa Claus he has the body to play that role  and an even bigger Chinese New Year campaign where Najib probably dressed as a Mandarin will hand  out the RM500/- Ang Pows to the Chinese  shunning Muhyiddin's call for earlier  elections in December, paving the way for elections in early or mid March.



Note dressing up like Sanata Claus may make him beholden to some Christains, but will drive Ibrahim Ali on a rampage and things may get worse it he dresses up as a mandarin.



 

Muhyiddin's Supporters now push for November 30th dissolution

Now Muhyiddin's supporters are pushing him to pressure Najib for a November 30the deadline to dissolve Parliament. That they feel should be the latest date,  any longer and the BN is in trouble more so UMNO they reckon.

Campaigning in December according to the Muhyiddin camp  gives the BN a strategic advantage and they are now demanding that Najib does not delay any longer and their patience seems to be wearing thin.

As time passes by more and more Malaysians are now thinking of making a change and they can't allow Najib to stall the process any longer, to increase his popularity and remain relevant,  Mukhriz is now  lending his support to Muhyidddin's  group as well..

The strategic advantage they are talking about is, in East Malaysia it will give the Christians less time to campaign, they will be busy with Christmas and have little time to dwell on politics. This will be good for the BN as far as Sarawak is concerned.

The government controlled mass media especially the  radio and TV networks than can go  unhindered on an all out blitz  of a propaganda war to push through  as much government controlled information for the BN, and these  people who will be so busy will only have time  to receive their news from that source and the alternative media may be irrelevant and overlooked at that time.

In West Malaysia the middle class will be busy taking holidays many of them may not be around even to vote, this is the class of people they want out to win states like Selangor and Penang as the majority of this group are anti establishment.

The Christians too who have been abused will have little time having to prepare for Christmas, schooling for the children and holidays, many may not be around in their respective constituencies.

Najib on the other hand does not think so, he believes he is gaining ground on the Christians,  and needs their support, Soi Lek's noise making is getting the Christians worried, he reckons, and as such he is gaining the advantage there,  so he is fearful of annoying them.

The Christains,  he reckons will support the BN and he is not prepared to anger them as such moves  may be counter productive.

Christian Church leaders  do not openly take a stance as to which party should rule, they only pray for wise choices and wisdom for the elected representatives,  and with Chua Soi Lek peddling Hudud around every nook and corner he believes the Christians will opt for the BN even though many in their ranks deplore the BN.

Now within UMNO there are two groups  with the different views, Muhyiddin's supporters are convinced that Najib is just wasting time as he knows this is his last term, win or lose.

Muhyiddin on the other hand  is growing  all the more frustrated, and his frustration has its limits. He is sure he is going to make the move to move Najib out,  he is confident of an even worse showing than 2008 this time around.

Millions of Malays have crossed over due to many factors and the Rosamh factor is no small contributor, Malays are just sick of her and the Muhyddin camp has made no secret about that in the UMNO branches and divisions,  especially Najib's inability to control her.

Najib is fully aware of his plight, he does not see himself being ousted the way Abdullah went, he is preparing his groundwork and is prepared to remove Muhyiddin from the Deputy's position and has in mind Ahmad Zahidi Hamidi to replace him.

Zahidi, Najib believs has done a good job in handling the Suaram onslaught on Najib and he want's to reward Zahidi at the expense of a troublesome deputy, he has precedence to support him, he is doing what Mahathir did  to Anwar.

This move if carried out will sideline Mukhriz who is just waiting on the sidelines, Zahidi is no novice he will not settle to be  a 'stop gap' deputy, he will then be gunning for leadership and is more apt to win than Mukhriz, that explains Mukhriz shift to Muhyiddin.
 

Like Najib's father did to the Tengku, Muhyiddin is hoping to do to Najib, as Najib does not command the grasroots the same way his father did, on the other hand Muhyiddin has grasroot support plus the support of others who have grassroot support too and  he may ask Najib to  leave sooner rather than later.

How that battle plays out is left to be seen as all ministerial appointments will be the prerogative of the Prime Minister,  and Najib may use that to his advantage. 

In the meantime both Najib and Muhydiin are fighting the best wayang kulit in town,  let's see how it plays out. Some real interesting times ahead.

Hudud no longer a fear factor - MERDEKA!!!!!

If Chua Soi Lek thinks he can get the people to vote the MCA by frightening them with  the Hudud he is wrong, terribly wrong, in fact he is bordering on madness and should be sent for some serious checking at the Tanjung Rambutan Hospital.

He should be looking at the PKFZ scandal,  a scandal that involved his  party, that has suddenly gone out of the governments screen together with the MCA leader Ong Tee Keat (whom he replaced) who mooted action against all those involved in that scandal.

Ong Tee Keat was moved out and in came Chua Soi Lek.

Everyone knows that Ong Tee Keat was moved out so that the PKFZ scandal under the leadership of Najib creating  his usual sandiwaras could be swept   carpet which is what has actually happened,  but to do that they had to remove one stubborn MCA leader Ong Tee Keat and Chua whose sexual episodes actually cost him the presidency now saw the opportunity to capitalize which he did.

If Tee Keat had handled it many people would have been taken to task and many people in the BN might have been exposed  and that is one reason I'd assume Chua in his new role of MCA chief is so focused on hudud as  many of  partymen, many Barisan MPs including senior ministers  and party leaders will be armless not only for the PKFZ scandal but an accumulation of scandals.

There is a serious fear that both arms may be chopped off, but I really wonder why they are so scared, with the amount of illicit wealth these people have accumulated they could purchase artificial limbs, this country will be full of bionic people.


Like all other scandals of this regime that scandal is being swept under the carpet, it now seems that after Mahahthir Mohamed's testimony everything is alright in the PKFZ.

Any surprise?

That of course  is what everybody expected with our current attorney general at the helm anyway,  so really nothing of this magnitude ever surprises Malaysians these days,  it is the norm,  the norm we are waiting to rid ourselves of,and now with Mahathir Mohammed as the AG's chief witness the whole case falls apart and PKFZ is no longer a scandal.

Chua Soi Lek's  actual position is "Minister agaisnt Hudud," he is placed there to ensure that the hands of many BN Parliamentarians and their cronies are remain safe after the next General elections, but Chua should examine the situation as a whole and ask himself will Malaysians be more worried bout Hudud or the type of government we have today?

This ministerial position has been given to  Chua on the quiet, he is tryign to do a good job with it, but he will fail. It has to be quiet as it may anger the Malays and Muhyiddin in particular who has come out many a time to silence Chua.


Look at what Chua is so preoccupied with these days,  he has nothing but Hudud on his mind. He has asked the Bar council to study Hudud, since when did this government give the bar council any such recognition, now in desperation they have turned to the Malaysian Bar, he should ask Rais Yatim and Nazri instead, he should ask Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and they  Home Minister Hishamuddin instead they re all well versed. Dr. Rais Yatim is a lawyer, Nazri is a lawyer, Hishamuddin is a lawyer (all less intelligent though) and of course the former PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi a Muslim scholar. Why is he asking the Bar Council?

Why?  Because many people in  UMNO and the rest of BN are afraid they may be doomed to walk the town as one arm bandits if the Hudud is implemented. UMNO ministers and MPs can't come out in the open and oppose Hudud because that will be against Islam, so they get Chua to do the shouting for them and he in turn tries to get the Malaysian Bar to assist him.

Consider this.

Weren't dead bodies snatched from bereaving  families claiming the dead had converted to Islam when even their next of kin were not aware of it?

One wonders why so many Muslims are converting to Islam without letting their next kin know about the same, should they not be proud of the fact they converted?

These dead body kidnappings have gone unchecked by this government, what has Chua done about it?

He talks so much about Hudud what has he done agaisnt the body snatching.

Has he ever come out openly to oppose and condemn these actions?

Has he won on any of those occasions?

Has he got any assurances that this will not occur again?

Has he managed to put a stop to it?

The truth is as we all know this man is nothing but an UMNO lackey, his position even in MCA is UMNO controlled and in fact MCA is the extension of UMNO - its subversion wing to ensure that the Chinese aspirations are controlled.

Every time he opens his mouth, and each time his son opens his mouth more and more people get angry and turn away from the MCA and the BN in general.

Chua has a lot of things to consider when he tries to scare the people with Hudud.

Yes,  UMNO has not introduced the Hudud, so did this make the "devil" to quote Mahathir any better?

They have done terrible things and that is why they can't even think about the hudud, they dread the hudud more than anyone else.

Isn't making non Muslims appear in the Syariah court to settle their grouses in divorce cases solemnized at the registrar of marriages a secular body, not a case of Hudud being imposed on the non Muslim Malaysians?

If the non Muslims want to build a temple, a Church or any other place of worship it is almost impossible the government will give them no end of trouble. Today they  are given places in Industrial Zones next to factories to build places of worship.

In Shah Alam a Church was given land near an oxidation pond, the community went ahead nevertheless to  build the Church, for some reason the oxidation pond was removed, and after the Christian Community  had completed the piling and as the building was work in progress the the entire structure was torn down by the the then Menteri Besar Muhamad Taib bin Muhamad, and after long delays and shifting of sites from one place to another the Church was finally given a piece of land in an Industrial site with rules that it should not look like a Church from the outside.


The next Menteri Besar of Selangor became the Champion of destroying Hindu temples, he got destroyed in the process.

Even the Bhori Muslims are not alowed to place a sign to indicate that their Mosque in Klang is a Masjid, they are Shite Muslims and they are not allowed this.

Nik Aziz and many leading Muslim scholars in the world have upheld the right of the non Muslims especially the Christians to use the word Allah for God,it predates Islam and th Christians having been using it long before the Muslims, and yet  the likes of Syed Hamid the former Minister of Home Affairs, Mahathir Mohammed and even Naajib think otherwise, although the God has been referred to as Allah by the Christians in Malaysia since the days of Francis Xavier.

We all know how UMNO and its supporters marched with a cows head in blatant disregard for the feelings of the Hindus in protesting about a Hindu Temple, that was not PAS led neither was it PAS initiated, although some UMNo infiltrators into PAS championed the cause. All this was not Hudud it was UMNO so why frighten us with Hudud?

Chua Soi Lek just like his boss Najib Tun Razak are desperate and bankrupt for ideas  and will try anything now to win the popular vote.

It is the opinion of the people that if the Barisan looses this elections many of their  leaders will flee the country, one ex leader a top figure I do not have to mention the name is so afraid he has come out and positioned the BN as the Devil and  the opposition head as an Angel, saying "it is better the known devil than an unknown angel."

Some people are just so darn scared they'd try anything from letting the Pakatan win, but a Pakatan victory is a foregone conclusion and nothing must be done to undermine the coming elections, if that is done this government has to be held responsible.

Hudud seems a better alternative than UMNO and we have all seen it, UMNOs' governance is nothing but deceit, in Hudud if you steal you'll have your hand chopped off, I reckon the corrupt have a lot to fear because they have stolen and hudud will not take that lightly and that is why the BN is so scared of Hudud.

We shall see many a retired BN  politicians with only one arm if the hudud is implemented, then in UMNO elections when the vote is carried out by a show of hands some UMNO men may not have hands to show,  and these are the people who are making a lot of noise about the Hudud using their new unofficial minister - Dr. Chua Soi Lek.

PAS would begin with only implementing Hudud for the Malays, the Syariah courts will implement Hudud law for the Malays to begin with. After all that is already in place with the present day Syariah Courts and PAS is not too happy with the adminsitration of justice in the Islamic context in these courts.

So Hudud  is no bogeyman to us the electorate right now everything seems better an alternative than UMNO and its lackeys.

So Chua Soi Lek please ensure your hands are clean, if it is not, come out in the open and admit it now like you did your sex case, or if you have anything to  hide that can be construed as theft, you may be walking  tight rope, the Pakatan is going to win.

Everything said it is the Pakatan that is going for victory, not  PAS alone, so PAS  will not be able to implement  hudud without the support of the other parties as PAS by itself will not command a majority just like UMNO has right now, anyway compared with what we have now under the BN I think any other alternative looks better.


Now if the BN politicians want their hands saved they had better be fair with the opposition.   I can only sit and wonder many generous UMNO and BN men donating arms to the armless,and Malaysian Doctors becoming specialist in that trad, but alas will our dear Dr. Mahathir have the natural resource to carry  out such operations, and you too Dr. Chua.

The Malaysian worker deserves more than RM900.

 

The Malaysian worker is one of the most productive in the world and yet today the wages that the Malaysian worker receives is no reflection of his/her productive efforts.

It does not reflect this fact because as any fool will tell you,  that when you have rampant corruption in a country no matter how hard and skillfully the best workers produce  goods of high quality and at the lowest cost the result of their efforts will remain unproductive. 

In short corruption negates productivity because all the productive gains of hard working Malaysian and more than just that are taken up by corruption.

The country with the most productive workforce now suffers because we are fast becoming a rogue nation with huge surplus of corrupt Government ministers and officials and by their huge appetite for corruption and corrupt practices the efforts of the Malaysian worker over the years since independence has been brought to naught, and they suffer whilst these greedy and selfish politicians accumulate wealth and live lavish lives.

Why only back in 1970 right to the early eighties the Malaysian workers were paid more than their Korean counterparts, more than the Taiwanese, in the early to mid sixties  we were paid more than the Singaporeans,  so what happened why is it  today our salaries are lagging far behind the workers in these countries, no one seems to ask and no one seems to even worry except the Malaysian worker who has to live with a meager nine hundred ringgit and that too is  “coming soon.”

By the eighties Malaysia was the largest producer of tin,  natural rubber,  semiconductors and even domestic air conditioners, and all this was lost because of  nothing but corruption, it was not because of China’s ability to provide cheaper labour,  it was corruption.  Corruption that would permeate the fabric of UMNO, the BN and eventually the entire Malaysian Government machinery.

In 1997 the exchange rate of  the Malaysian ringgit to the American Dollar was one US Dollar to about 2.9 Malaysian ringgit, with the 1997 crises it went to one US dollar to 3.5 Malaysian ringgit, and in that one episode alone the Malaysian worker had his salary slashed by a hefty 20 percent.

This  was something the worker had not really realized and neither was it something that Mahathir revealed to the Malaysian worker, because as he as blaming George Soros for the currency crisis whilst  Soros was doing a good job exposing Mahathir, he was afraid of being exposed and an angry Malaysian workforce.

That currency crisis would have a lot do to do later with Mahahtir’s ouster of his deputy Anwar Ibrahim for fear that Anwar would expose him and he could not afford to be exposed - stand naked in the eyes of Malaysians whom he had hoodwinked all the time.

The Malaysian worker has not recovered since the 1997 crisis, hi wages could have grown in terms of ringgit received but when you equate his earnings with its buying power the Malaysian worker is earning far less than he did pre 1997.

To back their latest wage offer this government will present a basket of goods to debate this, an insignificant basket, but take a look at the price of essentials, first a roof overhead look at the phenomenal increase in the price of homes, the price of rice, petrol, sugar, the cost of education, the increase in toll revenue, rising interest rates for loans and see how poor this worker has become, and today RM900 is this government’s response to this worker what an insult, after robbing the worker this government sets out to rob him or more, and tells the whole world it cares for tis workers.

The nine hundred ringgit was mooted by the MTUC even prior to 1997, in 1992 MTUC was seeking a thousand two hundred but had indicated they would settle for nine hundred, but the Mahahtir government would  not have it, it would attract too many Malaysians to factories and that would put a dent to the influx of foreign labour a good source of income for many government officials including some ministers of the time all this was done at the expense of our own workers, and their rightful requests for better wages were just stamped out.

The ministry of human resources was then propagating performance driven wage systems but that too after having completely ignored the performance of the Malaysian worker, bringing cheap foreign labour who were also grossly exploited, thus lowering wages.

Now the government used this lowered wage as the benchmark in industry to tell  the Malaysian worker who had reached peak productive performance to begin  to improve his performance, what an extremely wicked scheme.

Once the human effort has been exploited to its maximum productivity increase can only come about more the introduction of more modern methods that is the domain of management and yet take a look at the disparity of wages between the workforce and the management who are unable to provide this advantage to the worker who has already peaked. We still tap rubber the same way H.N Ridley did when he first brought rubber to this country and even if there has been any improvement it is totally insignificant, we harvest palm oil the way they used to do it in the early fifties, and what has this government done to improve that?

Now the PKR promises to top the minimum wage and bring it to the levels MTUC sought in 1994 they insult the Party, and they think they are doing a good job, they are not berating the PKR but rather the Malaysian worker whose counterpart just south of the border earns almost two and a half times more and enjoys a better lifestyle so much so many Malaysians go south to Singapore to earn a living.

This is the government that thought that by kicking Singapore out of the Federation, Singapore would learn a dire lesson and return with a begging bowl one day, how shamefully wrong they were, Mahathir himself was architect to that separation,  and how can they live with all this shame of not being able to look after their own people to the extent that their people have to go elsewhere to earn a living and more so to Singapore the country they thought they were going to teach a lesson to. LKY must really be having a good laugh at that man who at that time was no different from the person he is now, and led the ultras with extremist views.

Where is  our National Pride, Mahathir Mohammed? have you got any pride Mahathir in seeing this?

This is  nothing but finger pointer, who  accuses everyone and everything for his own  folly, he  failed his people and he  failed his  country  not only here but in nurturing good leaders to lead this nation people of integrity, people who are committed to see this country perform and find its rightful place in the world. 

Instead he  used this country for his  own purposes and every time something failed it was the fault of George Soros, Anwar Ibrahim and all the others but himself, he was always blameless. The leader who passed the buck.

PKR’s promise of a better minimum wage is not something plucked out of the air, it is done with the confidence that the Malaysian worker is among the most productive in the world if not the most and that being said one wonders why this productive workforce can’t turn this country around given the right motivation, they do a better and more meaningful job in really and substantially providing productive outcomes, not earning  money from kickbacks by setting up worthless consultancies  to earn in the billions to purchase second hand and useless submarines.

Productivity is not enhanced by increasing toll at  whims and fancies even though the toll operators  are making huge profits, not by changing electricity meters to charge more to the citizens who are already paying a premium to the electric Company that is protected by monopoly and is reaping huge profits, not by raising the price of petrol when we are net exporters of Oil and even then a higher grade of oil, not by the imposition of the pending  Sales and Service tax which this government dares not introduce now for fear of reprisals in the ballot box, not by covering the huge losses and illicit gains made by politicians in huge projects, purchases etc that runs in the billions which if accumulated and recovered would afford each Malaysian one million ringgit in his pocket.

Now Malaysian productivity is low,  so low because Malaysians just do not have the motivation anymore to work and all this is direct result of the policies of the Barisan Nasional Government. The more you make the more they take.

 The Malaysian worker is fed up, totally fed up,  all his productive efforts have been rendered unproductive because of the corrupt practices of this government, it has stifled competition, it has enriched cronies, it has enriched its elites, it has raised taxes, it has artificially raised prices and in doing all this rendered  the Malaysian worker unproductive.

1972 saw the advent of the Semiconductor industry into Malaysia, the first of such companies were set up in Penang and Melaka , followed by Selangor and Johor much later. At that time the Malaysian worker was paid far less than a rubber tapper in the estates. The basic daily wage of  an electronic factory worker at that time was only two ringgit and forty sen, yes, RM2.40 per day.

The worker was productive and in about five years from then the wage of the Malaysian semiconductor factory worker moved to between six ringgit and eight ringgit per day, by the eighties they were earning eighteen ringgit per day and later even higher till it came to a point where we were considered as no longer productive. 

At its height Malaysia was the largest exporter of Rubber, Tin Palm Oil and Semiconductors and domestic air conditioners isn’t that testimony of the productivity of our workforce?

There was hardly any industrial strife, there were no major strikes, the Malaysian workers efforts guided by proper  employee discipline and responsible trade unions, resulted in this, there has been no recognition of this on the contrary the Malaysian workforce is a down trodden lot. 

Tin failed not because it is not a commodity worth mining, in the sixties they used to say you could dig Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh and build newer cities at a profit if you excavated the tin beneath these cities. 

Then why did tin fail?

Ask Mahathir.  It failed because one man who even to this day claims he has all the prescription for the economic woes of this country, decided to try and wrest control of the tin market in the London Metal Exchange, he tried to corner the market and artificially tried to hike the price of tin thinking he’d succeed but the fool instead caused the fall of the entire tin market, contracts were not honoured, and as a result the price of tin fell to an all time low it was not worth mining it anymore. 

As a result our mines were shut down, the bustling town of Ipoh the crown of the silver state was rendered a dead town almost overnight and that was what the Mahathirian Magic did. 

Many  Malays used to share  that this man did it to hit at Chinese business in the country, at that time it was the Chinese who were the bogeymen in the country, and not really to raise the price of  tin.

Well he went with a real desire to raise the price of tin, he thought he could corner the tin market,  instead he took away form this nation its ability to earn enormous sums of revenue from a very precious natural resource and instead replaced it with the hacking away of our natural rain forests- the oldest in the world,  and had all the excuses to give the world to do so.

 

The jungles of Malaysia, in the peninsular, in Sabah and Sarawak were raped and it made BN cronies super rich, take a look at Sarawak. 

In fact when the Bakun dam was first proposed it was estimated the anyone who got the job to clear the forest would have made billions of ringgit without even having to move out of his house all he had to do was to leave it to the timber tycoons.

The tin fiasco by  an irresponsible scoundrel who led this nation was about his first in robbing this nation and instead of throwing him out of office the Malaysians elected him back to power for a next term. It’s not too late think again do we still want him and his cronies back in power?

Why is it Malaysia could never come out with a proper wage policy to ensure that its workers, the backbone of the economic activity of the country remained relevant?

Why is it that this government allowed the rights and privileges of these workers to be sold lock stock and barrel to foreigners to the extent our workers preferred to go about sell illegal VCD, leave the factories and go in search for jobs in the supermarkets, become street vendors turn to Bosiah activites, become Mat Rempit and turn to gangsterism – the answer lies in the governance of this country by the Barisan Nasional, driven by greed and its inherent inability to provide for its people – the workforce.

Any idiot will tell you that when you spend lavishly in things you do not require, or on things that are not absolutely required than it is waste.

For those of you who have learned “Kaizen”  you’ll know the definition for waste in kaizen is, “anything more than what is absolutely necessary to get a job done.” He preached the look east policy and knew nothing about it.

This government had excesses in everything they undertook, there was tremendously  more than what was absolutely necessary to get jobs done and that is what we call corruption.  

This corruption destroyed Malaysian productivity and killed all hopes of Malaysians earning decent wages  and rendered the Malaysian worker unproductive, yet today those very people who rendered the Malaysian worker unproductive continue to rob the worker of any chance of improving productivity and earning more wages, a decent wage to, provide a roof overhead for himself and his family, to put food and not only food but nourishment on the table in his home, purchase a car, free himself of indebtedness, enjoy an occasional holiday with his family and still have some to save, in effect to  give him the right to livelihood which our Industrial court has defined this  to mean,  “the right to life” the most fundamental right enshrined in the constitution of this country. 

Allow this government one more term in Parliament and we’ll witness our wages falling below that of Thailand, the Thais are already moving Myanmar to set up the world’s largest industrial Zone with the Japanese, why did we not do this in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines during our hey day? 

Singapore did this here to a smaller extent, then later turned to Batam, why did we not think of doing this?

 

The BN government was built on a crutch mentality, it lacks business expertise,  they could not see beyond assembly plants, even Proton today is nothing more than a glorified assembly plant, the Thais are looking ahead, they’ll own factories in Myanmar, they will relocate low end assembly plants the will move to higher end plants and Myanmar will be a feeder country to Thai industry.

We were light years ahead of the Thais in by the mid eighties and the early nineties so what happened, the crutch mentality of course and the gross inability of this government to see what is economically good for the nation.

Pakatan Rakyat is  is promising better time to Malaysian workers, it is not an empty promise, wipe out corruption and so much is possible that even if a wage increase is not forthcoming the buying power of the ringgit will increase and that will mean more money in your pockets.

It is not Soros, he had nothing to do with what happened in this country, if he was why did Mahahtir go back and see him? why did Najib have to see him only recently and that too secretly in the states with a senior Malaysian minister? 

It is this greedy and selfish government they have a few surprises for you on hold if they win, after giving you a minimum wage of RM900, they'll raise the toll, they'll introduce Sales and service tax and you'll pay taxes on almost everything you buy on top of paying high taxes, they'll increase the price of petrol and the price of houses will go up more than ever before, so what is your RM900?

Everytime Pakatan says it will give you something better they say Pakatan will bankrupt the country, it is not Pakatan it is they who will. The  BN after 55 years will bankrupt this country which is already on the verge of  bankruptcy the way they have corruptly acquired wealth from this country and parked it overseas.

The white haired man in the east is good testimony to this fact.

So make a wise choice, make the right choice, and make the only choice left to you kick out this BN government.

It as we all know  soaked in corruption it will take another fifty five years to clean them up.

As elections draw near be prepared for the government controlled media to blast away like they always do with nothing but lies about the opposition and even if there a truths, not even the worst case scenario in the opposition,  nothing,  can be better  than kick to  this government out for at least four consecutive terms, we have to check the rot.
