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

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.

Najib's Conviction -Time for Overhaul and a Third force.

 by Toffee

TIME TO CHANGE COURSE, AND CHART THE NEW MALAYSIA.

It is time to discard the old and the old who manage it, it is time for the new, the young the vibrant  and the relevant.

Yes, in today's world the young are more relevant then the  young  have ever been,  it is the age of today's young, and we have to give it to them,  thy are the potential leaders, more millionaire are springing up from their ranks and most  from those who are hardly even 40, they are showing that they are capable and that they think and perform at a different level,  it is their age.

 Malaysia have to discard the old and their old habits, we know for certain that from the inception of the Mahathir led BN government corruption has been on the rise in this country, powerful politicians have been treating this country's finances as a their own piggy bank and from the beginning of the  construction of the North South highway, the privatization of public utilities water, Electricity, and Telecommunications, the Sepang Airport,  corruption has been rife and was in fact turning into a way of life for those who headed the BN government and it has gone unabated.

Successive government's only took that corruption to a higher level, and Najib was the man who took it to the pinnacle, it was the young that exposed him Tony Pua and Rafizi with the aid of Rewcaste Brown, these were not 60year olds or even for that matter  93 year old politicians.

The country is now on the verge of Bankruptcy at a time the world is faced by its worst disaster since the second world war. 

With more than half a million dead and almost 17 million cases that keeps increasing this could be the worlds greatest human catastrophe and coming out of it will be a huge effort, we'll go back the forties if we are not careful and honestly that is where we are headed.

If Malaysians especially the Malays do not sit up and acknowledge that enough is enough, and opt for a really clean and efficient government this country will soon slide to the status of Myanmar and the Philippines who themselves are now on the upward spiral in terms of development leaving Malaysia to inherit that status sooner rather than later. We may land up worse than a banana republic if we do not watch it.

It is really shocking how especially Malay Malaysian leaders from the ruling UMNO can come out openly in support  of the world's biggest kleptocrat who tried to hide his endevours only to be exposed by Sarawak Report, the Malaysian Press, the New York Times, and the Washington post among others including the Arab English News portal Al Jazeera.

After successfully blocking any investigation into the case which included the firing of the Attorney General, the Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and other politicians who asked for more transparency on the issue Najib Tun Abdul Razak managed to keep a lid over any investigations on the 1MDB case, the Altantuya Murder and many more criminal acts and acts of corruption that went on as though we had a bottomless pit filled with currency from which he could just take out money for his and his family's benefit.

His wife got into the act even providing the specifications for the interior of the Executive jet Njib would so frequently use, she was such an extravagant woman who successfully managed to put Maria Antoinette, and Imelda Marcos to shame.

Let us hope now that today's conviction will be an eye opener for Malaysians especially UMNO Malays and the Indians of MIC and Chinese of the MCA, we have not forgotten the Telecoms Share scandal, the Maica case, the case involving he West Port in Klang,it is still fresh in our minds.

It is most certainly time for change, mega change, the type we have not seen in our history and it can only come from the relevant young vibrant and committed Malaysians.

It is time for the likes of Khairy, Nazri, Nurul, Rafizi, Nga Kor Ming, Anthony Loke, Yeo Bee Yin, Charles Santiago, Siti Kassim,  Teo Nee Chin, and people who can really make a change and whose only aim will be the country without blind loyalties to individuals to any politician but to the nation to take charge and bring in relevant change.

The people helming the country now are clueless, their brand of politics is self enrichment, and they could not care the damn for what the future holds in store as long as they have their own individual families secured.
 
Secured to the extent that hey will never stop in as far as they are in power to use their office to accumulate wealth for themselves, noble politicians are far and few an among those in the old school I see a very few.

ALMOST EVERY MALAYSIAN IS A RACIST.

Don't point our fingers toat the Malays alone the Chinese and Indians are bloody racists too, if they weren't they'd give serious thought to a single stream education policy, not the type we have today with vernacular schools but any talk about that and they are up in arms.

We can have a dual system of two parallel type of schools that will lokk into education seriously.

One type that offers the  Languages, Chinese, Tamil, Jawi and Arabic as optional subjects  besides other normal subjects in Arts and Science. They can be run in line with the UEC syllabus but the character of the Chinese School must change, the medium of instruction should  be in the Bahasa, and one of the two systems can offer Mathematics and Science in English.

The spread of these will not only make our schooling system more relevant, but it will acknowledge the contribution of Chinese Education in the country by accepting the UEC.

Vernacular schools in the present character must cease if we are serious about racial integration. Racial integration must take priority if we are to survive as a nation, no more the "Naan Tamilan nee Tamilan", or "ketuanan Melayu", or the Chinese are the best and the rest stupid attitude.

Back to schools with a true Malaysian character, put it to the test, the Indian Plam Oil fiasco had many Malaysian Indians worked up, Many Chinese to this day support China's intrusion into our territorial waters, say something on facebook and see the results. 

While the pendatiangs all of us are let us face it, from Indonesia, Cambodia, India and China including from Thailand, the only ethnic people of this country arre the Orang Asal that is the Orang Asli in the peninsular and the orang asal of the Island of Borneo.

Will the younger Malays of the peninsular break ranks from their seniors to steer this country in the right direction.


THE CHALLENGE

Malaysia is now plagued  with an aging population, it is time the young and relevant take charge of the country they inherit, let us take the selfish Mahathir's, Muhyiddins and the lot of UMNO deadwood out of our political system.

These old folks are so tied up in their ways they'll not give way to the young, we must realise that many of the developed world is now turning to younger and younger politicians.

The age of Emmanuel Macronthe Frech President is only 42, the age of the British Prime Minister is only 56, and he is of Turkish ancestory, the age of the Canadian Prime Minister is only 48, then Giuseppe of Italy is only 56 whilst we were just bragging of having an antiquated confused and senile man at 93 as our PM an he is still trying to get there to satisfy his own selfish motives of having his son become the next Prime Minister.

So the real challenge is for these young people to come together put politics aside and the nation first, manage and direct it for their own and future generations. 

 Why even now Mahathir still thinks he is the only one who can run this country, he so outdated, he is so antiquated and is already bordering on senility  and I really pity that man as his children seem to dare not tell him the truth about himself today.  

To ensure only the best in politics we should back high salaries for cabinet ministers, and cabinet ministers should be really qualified, and not talk nonsense. Our current Prime Minister has even been exposed as a man who can't get simple figures right.

 

Remember the British Intervention - Now read RECYCLING PANGKOR

by 
Howl Pillay

June 11 20202

Shame on our politicians! Once again it looks like we need help from 
outside to fix our problems.

Remember the Pangkor Treaty circa 1874?

A quick refresher and we are on our way..

Sultan Ali rules Perak from Sayong on the Perak River. His palace is a modest 
house with thatched roofing amidst a few coconut palms. Compared to the 
rich merchants in Singapore and Penang the Sultan is a poor man indeed. 
Bo lui la!

Nothing wrong here for world trade has by-passed him. The tin mines in 
the north, at Larut, worked by rival groups of Chinese, are controlled by a 
powerful chief Ngah Ibrahim working closely with rich merchants in Penang. 
No, not Jho Low la!

The death of Sultan Ali in 1871 sparked a fight for the throne, 
ignoring established procedures. 
Clearly a gomen official had forgotten to revise the SOPs governing these 
matters. All the claimants smell money, big money, so SOPs don’t count 
anyway.

But first a side story. When Sultan Ali was dying he requested to see his 
daughter Raja Tipah, married to the Raja Muda, Abdullah, one of the 
claimants. Fearing a plot, Abdullah refuses to take her home up the Perak 
River.

Angry, she says: “ I will follow any man brave enough to take me 
to my father”. We are not sure if she said, “I want to advise you 
something”. 
Raja Daud of Selangor, pretending to take her to Sayong, takes her 
instead to his kampong. 
They elope!

Abdullah does nothing to avenge himself except divorcing Raja Tipah. 
Big mistake! You can hear the boos along the Perak River all the way to 
the estuary, his power base. In steps Yusuf from Senggang, the second 
claimant, senior to Abdullah.

The third claimant, Bendahara Ismail whose powerbase is in Upper Perak is 
strictly not royalty although married to one. Twice he had been bypassed for 
promotion to Raja Muda. 
Now an elderly man, his followers egg him on: “Boleh Boss, apa na malu?”

Now for the fourth claimant, Ngah Ibrahim of Larut, the wealthiest of the 
chiefs, closely associated with the Chinese in Penang, and he supported 
Ismail the third claimant, harbouring thoughts of becoming Sultan himself 
one day.

No, we are not talking about the present but the past. History! All the big 
shots are now summoned to Sayong (not Sheraton la!) to bury Sultan Ali and 
choose a new one. Abdullah demurs, knowing Yusuf was waiting upriver 
at Senggang, with evil intent.

In Abdullah’s absence, the chiefs chose the third claimant as the Sultan, 
and the suspicion is that the chiefs wanted a pliable man like Ismail to rule 
over them for their own selfish ends. The weaker the Sultan, the stronger 
the warlords. 
Beware! 

Then the Chinese start fighting again viciously, over tin. The Sultan, the 
claimants and the chiefs realign their loyalties until friend becomes foe and 
foe becomes the enemy of my friend or whatever.

Finally, fearing a general unrest and citing ‘commercial interests’, one 
Andrew Clarke with that fearsome white moustache did some Chinese 
bashing a at Pangkor followed by more of the same dished out to the 
Malay chiefs but again it all sounds familiar.

Abdullah turned up at Pangkor requesting a Resident in return for becoming 
Sultan; Sultan Ismail was invited but was a no-show and Yusuf was not even 
invited. 
So Sultan Abdullah ruled in the south and Sultan Ismail, the north, hanging 
on to the regalia.

If you are confused by now, start reading the papers, nevermind history. 
So how do we go from here is the billion ringgit question. We are done with 
Sir Andrew Clarke and the Brits. The Americans are rioting and the Russians 
are sorting out the Arabs. 

First look for a nice small round table. Then double the ECRL price, smiling at 
the Chinese. That done, increase patrolling the waters around Pangkor using 
our submarines. Then look up a costume shop for Victorian-era props and 
costumes.

Almost done! Now let us invite Comrade Xi Jinping to ‘kow-thim” our 
warring parties, still at it after 150 years as to who should succeed and 
who should wait for his turn while the rakyat are reduced to a feudal 
condition, living on handouts.

Just to frighten our great chiefs into cutting a compromise for the common 
good and making a sacrifice for succeeding generations, we must insist 
Comrade Xi sport a white walrus moustache bought from that costume shop 
I told you about. 

One last thing, a hundred years hence, a history exam question may read 
like this:

Soalan - Sewaktu negara kita dilanda oleh politik gila kuasa sekitaran 
tahun 2020, pemimpin Cina yang membantu penyelesaiannya ialah:

1. Deng Xiaopeng

      

2. Michael Cheng

3. Lee Kachiang

   

4. Xi Jinping

5. Mahathir bin Muhyuddin
