I've been under the weather for a while now and quite busy with so many things on my hand. However, even then, I still have time to read the papers and my, my, things in Malaysia are surely becoming bitchy.
First and foremost, a Malay UMNO Bukit Bendera, Ahmad Ismail (A.I) and his 'pendatang' remark. My, how this issue has exploded. First his disappearance, then Pak Lah telling 'I'll tell him no to do it again', then Najib publicly apologizing for A.I's remarks and on behalf of UMNO, to A.I's press conference yesterday where he flatly refused to apologize.
Here, another Malay, a blast from the past, wades in, Tun Dr.M, the guy who does not seem to realize he has already retired (Perhaps old age contributes to amnesia?). At 83 years old, when most of his age would already be in a coffin six feet under, the former Prime Minister thinks he is still the Prime Minister and thus needs to comment on ever issue affecting Malaysia every 3 seconds. Perhaps due to old age and declining mental faculties, he does not realize the meaning of the word 'former'.
Anyway, the jolly old Dr.M gives his ever flowing comments from his never wrong, know it all 83 year old mind. He said that A.I does not need to apologize, in fact ex-Prime Minister asked why must Malay leaders say sorry. Of course, the old man thought this was still the time when he reigned supreme over the land, where once his word was the law.
The old man didn't expect the backlash from the blogosphere and the Internet over his comments. People expressed disgust at him (once an offence punishable by ISA) and called him a racist and even questioned Dr.M (once, you could have been hauled up in court and charged with sodomy for that)
Of course, once his mind came back to 2008, he realized the mistake and backtracked, saying that he was not defending A.I and he didn't like what Ahmad had said. He explained he was merely expressing disgust at the Malay leaders' s inability to control racism and the culprit should be hauled up to the UMNO Disciplinary Committee if he refused to apologize. (Where I'm guessing he'd probably be awarded with a keris and celebrated with a kenduri)
Yeah, right......
Is this a case of one Ultra defending another Ultra?
There is an interesting parallel. Remember what Mahathir said about George Soros, the Jewish American investor/financier, whom Mahathir blamed for the Asian Economic Crisis? Remember how he ranted and raved against Soros? He blasted Soros, accusing him of this and that and maintaining that Soros was to blame. Look at the picture below, funny how old age affects your mind doesn't it?
You know, a lot of accusations has been hurled at Anwar that he has the support of the US and he was going to 'sell' the nation to the US after he becomes PM. Much has also been bandied about that Anwar was close to Wolfowitz and many Jews.
Now, look at the picture above. That is Dr.M and the man supposedly responsible for the Asian Economic Crisis of 1997, George Soros. Look at the picture... Awwwww... Doesn't Dr.M look so happy?
Remember that Dr.M once said in a speech that 'the Jews rule the world by proxy'? If Dr.M's 83 year old mind has forgotten, George Soros is Jewish, he is a Jew. So, Dr.M is shaking the hand of a Jew, taking into consideration his own speech, does this mean he is also a proxy of the Jews?
Hilarious!
Anyhow, we passed the two Malays and now we come to the Indian in question. No good story would be complete without a Tamil film villain. Who is he? Probably the most famous Indian ever in Malaysia. A man dubbed 'The Lord of the Indians', he is none other that Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.
Of course, the former Works Minister and the still reigning MIC supremo has been out of the news a while after his thumping and utterly humiliating defeat in the last general elections, where, even for his considerably bloated girth, he too was uprooted by the political tsunami.
Why is he in the news?
Malaysia today had an article on it, 'How Samy made 50 million with a stroke of a pen'. Of course, for us common folk who have to languish and work hard just for RM 50, we thought this was a heartfelt public tip provided by Samy Vellu on how to increase our income in face of tough times.
Turns out it was a report on how Samy allegedly bought a state owned land for RM 3.8million. The problem was the land was worth RM 52 million, not to mention it was slated for a school. Bought under the MIC's name, Samy was named as the beneficiary on the title and the MIC as only trustee. Don't take my word for it, look at the documents.
~~Sigh~~Where is our nation heading to? Into the pockets of our politicians?
One wonders what is Pak Lah doing... I think the picture below sums it all up...
And people say Bush is the bad guy....

As per regarding the great pretender samiar veluu, this is the tip of the iceburg, how many other properties are held in trust by MIC FOR THEIR PRESIDENT FOR LIFE. HOW MANY OTHER PROPERTIES HAS HE "STOLEN", how many other companies are actual proxies, look at RANKIAaN SEGAR, or what ever the name of this co that controls the toll passes, who owns the company, If you walk into the office in faber towers, tmn. desa, you will find that practically all the employees are indians. If you have the contacts check out this company.
Anwarwood Productions - The Biggest Blockbuster Show on Earth!
(Anwarwood Produksi - Tayangan Paling Besar dan Hebat di Dunia!)
Beware! Politics is a game not for the faint hearted in Malaysia. Malaysians will have heart attacks when you see the end. Even if you don't, you will suffer a mild stroke or high blood pressure. Why? The Titanic 2 show this time directed and scriptwritten by Anwarwood Productions will continue with the following scenes:
1. Little Napoleons will continue with the phrase "The End Justifies The Means" in protecting their interests.
2. Some passengers will lose all sense of conscience and humanity when the ship is finally sinking.
3. Everyone in the ship will rush to get on the lifeboats.
4. Money is used to buy anything to safe oneself from impending doom.
5. The Best Actor and Supporting Casts together with Trojan Horses are finally shown at the end of the show.
Whatever the emotions left at the end of the show, please remember that it was just a show, just like what politics is all about. The reality of living together continues in this land.

FOLKS, CAN DEMOCRACY ACTUALLY GUARANTEE US FREEDOM???
CAN WE LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE ….

————————————————————————————
What’s the Meaning of ‘Freedom’? …. But don’t ask a politician!
by Rep. Ron Paul
“Man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts”.
- Ronald Reagan
We’ve all heard the words democracy and freedom used countless times, especially in the context of our invasion of Iraq. They are used interchangeably in modern political discourse, yet their true meanings are very different. George Orwell (picture above right) wrote about “meaningless words” that are endlessly repeated in the political arena. Words like “freedom,” “democracy,” and “justice,” Orwell explained, have been abused so long that their original meanings have been eviscerated. In Orwell’s view, political words are “often used in a consciously dishonest way.” Without precise meanings behind words, politicians and elites can obscure reality and condition people to reflexively associate certain words with positive or negative perceptions. In other words, unpleasant facts can be hidden behind purposely meaningless language.
As a result, Americans have been conditioned to accept the word “democracy” as a synonym for freedom, and thus to believe that democracy is unquestionably good. The problem is that democracy is not freedom. Democracy is simply majoritarianism, which is inherently incompatible with real freedom. Our founding fathers clearly understood this, as evidenced not only by our republican constitutional system, but also by their writings in the Federalist Papers and elsewhere. James Madison cautioned that under a democratic government, “There is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual.” John Adams argued that democracies merely grant revocable rights to citizens depending on the whims of the masses, while a republic exists to secure and protect preexisting rights.
Yet how many Americans know that the word “democracy” is found neither in the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence, our very founding documents? A truly democratic election in Iraq, without U.S. interference and U.S. puppet candidates, almost certainly would result in the creation of a Shi’ite theocracy. Shi’ite majority rule in Iraq might well mean the complete political, economic, and social subjugation of the minority Kurd and Sunni Arab populations. Such an outcome would be democratic, but would it be free? Would the Kurds and Sunnis consider themselves free? The administration talks about democracy in Iraq, but is it prepared to accept a democratically elected Iraqi government no matter what its attitude toward the U.S. occupation? Hardly. For all our talk about freedom and democracy, the truth is we have no idea whether Iraqis will be free in the future.
They’re certainly not free while a foreign army occupies their country. The real test is not whether Iraq adopts a democratic, pro-Western government, but rather whether ordinary Iraqis can lead their personal, religious, social, and business lives without interference from government. Simply put, freedom is the absence of government coercion. Our Founding Fathers understood this, and created the least coercive government in the history of the world. The Constitution established a very limited, decentralized government to provide national defense and little else. States, not the federal government, were charged with protecting individuals against criminal force and fraud. For the first time, a government was created solely to protect the rights, liberties, and property of its citizens.
Any government coercion beyond that necessary to secure those rights was forbidden, both through the Bill of Rights and the doctrine of strictly enumerated powers. This reflected the founders’ belief that democratic government could be as tyrannical as any King. Few Americans understand that all government action is inherently coercive. If nothing else, government action requires taxes. If taxes were freely paid, they wouldn’t be called taxes, they’d be called donations. If we intend to use the word freedom in an honest way, we should have the simple integrity to give it real meaning: Freedom is living without government coercion. So when a politician talks about freedom for this group or that, ask yourself whether he is advocating more government action or less. The political left equates freedom with liberation from material wants, always via a large and benevolent government that exists to create equality on earth.
To modern liberals, men are free only when the laws of economics and scarcity are suspended, the landlord is rebuffed, the doctor presents no bill, and groceries are given away. But philosopher Ayn Rand (and many others before her) demolished this argument by explaining how such “freedom” for some is possible only when government takes freedoms away from others. In other words, government claims on the lives and property of those who are expected to provide housing, medical care, food, etc. for others are coercive?and thus incompatible with freedom. “Liberalism,” which once stood for civil, political, and economic liberties, has become a synonym for omnipotent coercive government. The political right equates freedom with national greatness brought about through military strength.
Like the left, modern conservatives favor an all-powerful central state? but for militarism, corporatism, and faith-based welfarism. Unlike the Taft-Goldwater conservatives of yesteryear, today’s Republicans are eager to expand government spending, increase the federal police apparatus, and intervene militarily around the world. The last tenuous links between conservatives and support for smaller government have been severed. “Conservatism,” which once meant respect for tradition and distrust of active government, has transformed into big-government utopian grandiosity. Orwell certainly was right about the use of meaningless words in politics. If we hope to remain free, we must cut through the fog and attach concrete meanings to the words politicians use to deceive us.
We must reassert that America is a republic, not a democracy, and remind ourselves that the Constitution places limits on government that no majority can overrule. We must resist any use of the word “freedom” to describe state action. We must reject the current meaningless designations of “liberals” and “conservatives,” in favor of an accurate term for both: statists. Every politician on earth claims to support freedom. The problem is so few of them understand the simple meaning of the word.
Merdeka!!!
UUr article was mixed with humour & logic ... filling up my apetite for good stories.
But would like to provide u an important information, rather a secretly kept info by the country's intelligence, that you're article title: 'Two Malays and an Indian' was wrong ... it should been 'two Mamaks and one Tamil Villian'.
Well! both Ahmad Ismail or AI, perhaps artificial intelligence, and the blogger Dr Mahathir Mohamed Kutty are of Indian origin from Malayalee Muslim background, of course their forefathers were from Kerala.
A check in the Singapore university that Dr M studied for his MBBS would show that his name was Mahathir s/o (not bin) Mohamed Kutty.
Oh! Yeah! Now remember. This guy Dr Mahathir was our former prime minister, right!.
Ahmad Ismail was a close friend of Anwar Ibrahim.
Indeed AI was among the most vocal critics against Che Det when Anwar, also a Mamak, was sacked from the government in 1998.
He was among those reformasi leaders at early days of Anwar turnmoil ten years.
Che Det then neutralised AI by cutting his contracts given by the Umno 'Ketuanan Melayu' led government.
Since then AI has reconverted and reinvented himself as Umno loyalist and staunch defender of 'Ketuanan Melayu'(Malay Supreme Colonialism), while he continues to do business with Chinese and Indians.
His influence among Umno and Malays in Bukit Bendera was so strong that then the Ummno Chief Minister from Gerakan Dr Koh Tsu Koon purportedly wrote a personal letter to Che Det urging him not to sack AI from Umno in early 1999.
Otherwise, Koh said Gerakan would lose all seats under Bukit Bendera in coming 1999 GE, including his own Tanjung Bungah state seat.
Now suddenly Koh claims he has nothing to do with AI while Dr M backs AI . . . ah ah ah . . . politics ala-Malaysia trademarked Dacing.
So much so about 'Ketuanan Melayu' and 'Chinese Rights'.
This is what I use to call politics rojak bin kuah.

The George Soros pic was taken when he came to Malaysia to apologise to Dr.Mahathir and admit that the 1998 currency control mechanism was something right.
Don't simply spin here and there just to prove your point... when you have no point at all.
tq
p/s Nadodi sounds like an arsehole which has been used by Anwar Ibrahim.
It sudah biasa di sini,tak boleh
buat kerja masih nak pegang jawatan
resign la macam yang di tunjuk ole
pemimpin di-negara lain
attractive & logic.Altantuya murdered spot had more than 1 body?UMNO silencing spot??there were 7 bodies scattered.bones everywhere.investigate.CSI doctor ordered to ignore.
so sinful!!! A lot of unsolved Bermuda stories will rise if UMNO arseholes lose power.All of UMNO are in state of power-overdose for 50 years.
I heard that Malaysia belongs to a group of people called Orang Asli?What about Malaise?? They say they're Tuan Tanah Malaysia...hmmm...sighhh!!Ayoyo...tarak paham lah!It's funny to read malaysian constitution.all those articles...hahaha!hahaha!
let me clarify, Dr.M said Soros was not to blame and invited Soros for the meeting and apologized. Soros did not apologise. So to the anonymous who left the comment defending Dr.M and said Soros came grovelling to say sorry and said I 'spin' stories, I'm guessing you vote for BN.
Anyhow, Anwar did not use any arseholes because all accusations against him are false.
You're just a BN stooge who only knows how to comment anonymously. No balls, just like the rest of the BN
