Pesanan Tun Dr Mahathir untuk AHLI-AHLI AKAR UMBI UMNO

Dengar dulu... 

1. Saya ucap terima kasih kerana ada ahli-ahli akar umbi UMNO yang menasihati saya supaya tidak “menyerang” Dato’ Sri Najib, Presiden UMNO dan Perdana Menteri Malaysia.

2. Saya punyai sedikit pengalaman dalam bidang politik, terutama yang berkaitan dengan budaya Melayu. Kita cenderung untuk setia kepada pemimpin. Kita tidak soal apa-apa yang dilakukan oleh pemimpin. Dia pemimpin, kita pengikut. Oleh itu, ikut sahajalah. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila kita diberi penerangan olehnya secara tertutup seolah-olah kita dapat berkongsi rahsia dengan pemimpin kita.

3. Tetapi untuk kita membuat keputusan atau menghukum secara bijak, secara adil  kita perlu dengar kedua-dua belah pihak.

4. Jika ada yang fikir saya merosakkan parti, saya harap saya diberi peluang untuk menjelaskan kenapa saya “menyerang” Dato’  Sri Najib. Bagi saya serangan ini mungkin tidak menyenangkan Najib dan sebahagian daripada ahli UMNO tetapi sebabnya ialah kerana saya ingin menyelamatkan UMNO, parti keramat yang dahulu disokong sehingga menang 2/3 tiap PRU.

5. Hanya mereka yang tidak dapat lihat sahaja yang tidak sedar bahawa UMNO  dibawah Dato’ Sri Najib telah gagal memulih UMNO selepas Tun Abdullah. Kemenangan Najib lebih tipis.

6. Saya harap saya diberi peluang berjumpa dengan ahli UMNO biasa untuk menerang akan masalah kehilangan berbillion  Ringgit oleh Dato’ Sri Najib. Lepas mendengar kedua-dua pihak adililah terhadap “serangan” saya. Apakah saya sedang merosakan parti atau mencuba menyelamatkanya.

1MDB - PRIME MINISTER going on leave?

In his Comment that appeared in the NST yesterday (Monday, April 27, 2015), Tunku Abdul Aziz says quite a lot on the subject which we know is and has been very close to his heart. Tunku Aziz, as we know, is a man with strong principles in life. It is due to such principles that the once Deputy Vice Chairman of DAP quit the party in the run up to the 2013 General Elections. 

I have had the privilege of meeting up with the man himself on a few occasions, just for brief discussions. I have not an iota of doubt of his integrity and moral values. It is with such awe and respect that I'm writing to highlight certain omissions and seek opinions from the learned man who is the founding member of the Malaysian Chapter of Transparency International.  

Firstly, taking note of the above paragraph in which Tunku Abdul Aziz calls for Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to lodge reports with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (of which Tunku is a board member) and the Police, I would like to inform Tunku that detailed reports to the respective agencies have been lodged. In the case of the Police, a specific report has also been lodged against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and two others from 1MDB. 

So far there has been two police reports, including the one with specific mention of Najib Razak, and another report to the MACC. More reports may follow suit if the agencies remain like a tiger chained to the pole.

I'm sure the learned Tunku Aziz was not suggesting that the respective authorities would commence some form of investigations ONLY if Dr Mahathir himself lodges reports to the trusted agencies. If that is how investigating agencies operate in our country, then I would suggest Dr Mahathir to seriously consider Tunku Aziz's suggestion.


Secondly, I also fully agree with Tunku Aziz that 'we should not short-circuit the systems and procedures that regulate the conduct of government business'. 

It is with this fear of the systems being short-circuited that I'm now seeking Tunku Abdul Aziz's opinion on a very basic issue of transparency, good governance and the likes of it. 

Dear Tunku Abdul Aziz, 

Mohd Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak who is 1MDB's Chairman of the Board of Advisors, Finance Minister and Prime Minister is someone who has been directly implicated in the 1MDB scandal. 

Najib is implicated not only in his positions/capacity as mentioned above but also due to his personal/family association with dubious characters linked to the 1MDB scandal. His wife is also very much in the picture.

Do you, as a learned person who is seen to be fighting corruption, upholding transparency, good governance and everything good that comes with it, share my opinion that Najib Razak should take leave from all Government positions until the Police, MACC, Auditor General and the Public Accounts Committee complete their probe into the 1MDB scandal? 

Give us a Yes or No.

Should the Prime Minister not go on leave to allow the respective agencies unlimited access, free hand and a free-from-intimidation environment to complete the probe?

p/s Najib's position as Umno president, though very much inter-related, is another matter and is being addressed despite overwhelming scare tactics and RM.

#UNDURLAH Najib Razak

Bicara Negarawan bersama Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad pada pagi Sabtu di Taman Melawati boleh ditakrifkan sebagai langkah yang menandakan 'beginning of the end' bagi karier Datuk Seri Najib Razak sebagai Presiden Umno dan Perdana Menteri Malaysia. 

Jika revolusi minda yang dilancarkan secara terbuka dihadapan ratusan hadirin yang bersesak-sesak di dewan yang sempit ini gagal membuka mata hati dan minda rakyat, maka ini juga akan menandakan 'beginning of the end' bagi Umno dan BN. Itulah intipati yang dibicarakan negarawan kita yang akan mencecah umur 90 tahun dalam beberapa bulan lagi. 

Ikuti ucapan Dr Mahathir serta sesi dialog (rakaman video ikhsan rakan blogger Din Turtle) dan fikirkan lah sendiri apa yang baik untuk rakyat dan negara tercinta ini.

Berikut adalah sesi soal-jawab. Soalan pertama dalam video ini adalah berkenaan GST.

Nota: Saranan agar pemimpin ditukar ganti bukan satu hasutan dan tidak ada undang-undang dalam negara kita yang menghalang rakyat daripada menyuarakan pendapat agar pemimpin yang difikirkan sudah tidak layak memegang tampuk pemerintahan diganti dengan pemimpin lain. Jangan gundah gulana. 

Ehhhhhh! Siapa yang terkinja-kinja kat negara orang ni? 

Betul ker, salah ker. Patut ker, tak patut ker. Layak ker, tak layak ker. Malu ker, tak malu ker. Anda nilai lah sendiri. 

p/s Ini salah satu daripada tabiat yang orang tua tak berapa gemar kot.

Laporan POLIS terhadap Najib Razak

Datuk Seri Khairuddin Abu Hassan, bekas Naib Ketua Bahagian Batu Kawan yang dipecat dari jawatan Umno atas alasan beliau telah muflis sejurus selepas membuat laporan POLIS dan laporan SPRM berhubung SKANDAL 1MDB tempohari, telah tampil membuat satu lagi laporan POLIS hari ini. 

Laporan terbaru ini adalah lebih khusus.

Selain memohon siasatan ke-atas Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib bin Tun Abdul Razak yang juga Menteri Kewangan merangkap Penasihat Numero Uno 1MDB, Khairuddin juga telah memohon pihak POLIS menyiasat Pengerusi Lembaga Pengarah 1MDB Tan Sri Lodin Wok Kamarudin dan President 1MDB Arul Kanda Kandasamy. 

Jangan belit-belit Datuk Seri. Mana wang berbillion ringgit milik Kerajaan Malaysia yang hilang itu?

p/s Sebelum ini, setahu saya, Khairuddin tidak pernah membuat cadangan untuk membina jambatan bengkok dan difahamkan beliau juga tidak membuat laporan-laporan ini kerana ingin anak beliau menjadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia. Terima Kasih.

1MDB by Dr M

UPDATED - Below is former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's partial reasoning on WHY NAJIB RAZAK CANNOT CONTINUE TO BE PRIME MINISTER OF MALAYSIA.

Earlier today, addressing a group of investors gathered in Kuala Lumpur, Najib reportedly said that he doesn't feel lonely in telling the truth. I hope Najib gathers enough guts to now stand up and address the pertinent questions posed by Dr Mahathir on the missing BILLIONS of Ringgit of Government funds. 

Please read Dr M's list of questions again Mister Prime Minister (don't worry, the crooked bridge is certainly not in the list) before you make your next looney...I mean lonely statement. TQ

1MDB

1. The management of Government finances is governed by laws, rules, regulations and practices. Companies also have similar systems but Government manages huge sums of money, basically the people’s money and it is imperative that the managers follow the laws, rules and regulations.

2. Corruption prevails in almost all Governments. But usually they involve relatively small sums. The work of auditors are supplemented by special anti-corruption authorities to ensure that as little as possible of Government money is misused, abused or basically stolen by the people authorised to manage it.

3. Governments can lose money through bad investments. We would know where the money is lost. But when huge sums of money disappear, then those entrusted with its management must answer for the disappearance. Disappearance is different from just losing. Disappearance is about money lost which cannot be traced. This can be because of corruption or theft.


4. In Malaysia the PM and DPM usually hold one extra portfolio. Usually the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Defence alternate between the two. Occasionally while waiting for suitable candidate, the Ministry of Finance is held by the PM. Dato Sri Najib however prefers to keep the Ministry of Finance under him all the time. He has appointed a second Minister of Finance. This is his prerogative of course, but he must ultimately be responsible for what happens to the country’s finances.

5. The first requisite for the management of Government money is the yearly budget. Prepared by the Ministry of Finance from feedbacks by all ministries and departments, the budget is first presented to the Cabinet. If passed it is then presented to Parliament.

6. Government is expected to spend money according to the budget. If the yearly budget cannot meet an urgent need of the Government, a supplementary budget can be presented by Cabinet to Parliament. Drafts of the budgets are prepared by officers of the Ministry. Government raises money through taxes and fees of all kinds. Government may own special businesses such as Petronas, which may contribute to the budget.

7. In Malaysia there is also off-budget-funds which may not be presented to Parliament but are still subject to scrutiny and approval of the Cabinet.

8. Cabinet papers are secret of course. But in the case of 1MDB the presentation to the Cabinet and approval by it seems to be unclear. There seems to be attempts to hide behind official secrecy.

9. What we do know is that 1MDB has as its advisor the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. It is inexcusable that the management which is appointed by the PM would reject his advice. So like the British Advisor of old, the advice of the Advisor is a directive.

10. Since then three CEOs of 1MDB have resigned without explanation. Could it be because they could not accept the advice!

11. The Government invested one million Ringgit in the 1MDB. According to known records 1MDB then borrowed from various sources 42 billion Ringgit.

12. A company with 1 million Ringgit capital with no assets cannot borrow 42,000 times its capital with no collaterals. That 1MDB is able to do so is because of Government guarantees.

13. In other words it is Government which is borrowing the money. If 1MDB loses money, the Government will bear the loss. Yet the operation of 1MDB is not overseen by Government officers responsible for the management of Government funds.

14. Why has the 1MDB become controversial? What is wrong with 1MDB?

15. From the beginning it was wrong. It started off as an off-budget and it was not put before the Parliament.

16. The money was borrowed. So it is not sovereign wealth but sovereign debt.

17. The bond raised by Goldman Sachs costs more than is usual for Government borrowings. The interest rate at 5.9% was too high. Government loans usually attract about 3% or below.

18. In addition 10% commission went to Goldman Sachs which means that 1MDB gets only 90% of the money borrowed yet has to pay interest on 100%, raising the interest rate to 6.6%. Averaging at 6%, yearly interest on 42 billion Ringgit is about RM 2.5 billion. Since 2009 there has been no income from all the assets. And 1MDB had to borrow RM2 billion to pay the interest. The loan is now RM42 billion.

19. Total initial borrowings amounted to 42,000,000,000 (42 billion Ringgit). As far as can be ascertained the investments are as follows:

a. Purchase of Tanjong Energy (now known as Powertek Energy Sdn Bhd) from Ananda Krishnan for RM 8.5 billion. This is higher than market price. The licence was about to expire.

b. Purchase of Genting Sanyen Power (now known as Kuala Langat Power Plant) for RM 2.3 billion. Again high above market price. The licence was abut to expire.

c. Purchase of Jimah Energy for RM 1.2 billion.

d. Purchase of 70 acres of land in Jalan Tun Razak for RM320 million i.e: RM64.00 psf. Land last sold in the area was at RM7,000 psf.

e. Purchase of 495 acres of land in the former Sungai Besi TUDM airport (now known as Bandar Malaysia) about RM 363.5 million i.e: at RM 91.00 psf. Estimated value RM1,000 psf.

f. Purchase of 234 acres land in Air Itam in Penang RM 1.38 billion i.e: at RM135.00 psf.

20. It should be noted that TRX land is close to land recently sold at RM7000.00 psf. Assuming the market price is RM3000.00 psf the true value of this land is 6 billion Ringgit. The Government has therefore lost 5 billion plus because 1MDB paid only RM320 million.

21. With regard to the Sungai Besi Airport land, 1MDB paid 363.5 million Ringgit for 495 acres – i.e at RM91 psf. Assuming market price for this land is RM1000 psf. the Government lost approximately 20 billion Ringgit.

22. The land in Penang is of poor quality and has more than 1000 squatters. Yet 1MDB paid RM1.3 billion i.e at RM 135 psf.

23. These are all the purchases that are known. They all add up to RM14.7 billion. So there is approximately 27 billion Ringgit left.

24. More than 1billion US Dollars were said to be paid to Petro Saudi without verification as to the value of this company or its assets.

25. Where is the rest of the money?

26. A certain amount was registered in the Cayman Islands. What was the money used for? What was brought back to Malaysia. What was brought back and deposited in a Swiss bank in Singapore. Why? Where was the money brought back from? Why is this money not used to pay the RM 2 billion interest. Why did Bank Negara allow the first tranche to be repatriated to Malaysia and not the second tranche. Now the Swiss bank has told the Singapore authorities that the document did not originate from them and does not represent a true account of the assets of 1MDB. So where is the money said to be registered in the Cayman Islands and is now brought back.

27. Clearly 1MDB is not getting any return from its investments. Not only is it losing money but the Government has lost money when 1MDB paid only RM683 million for TRX and Sungai Besi. Total loss incurred by the Government is approximately 25 billion Ringgit.

28. 1MDB revalued all its assets at 52 billion Ringgit. That is because Government land was brought at far below the market price. It can only use this money to repay loans if it succeeds in selling them off as land or after development. Progress on TRX is very slow and there is no work on Sungai Besi land. No money will be generated during development; only outflows.

29. It is this disappearance of a huge amount of borrowed money by 1MDB and the inability to answer questions regarding what happened to the funds that disqualifies Najib from being Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Surat terbuka anak Tok Mat

Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed adalah Ahli Parlimen Pulai (Johor) selama tiga penggal, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kira-Kira Wang Negara, Ketua Bahagian Umno Pulai dan antara pemimpin pelapis Umno. 

Kata Nur Jazlan,

"Dua projek utama Najib yang mulanya dicanang akan membawa Malaysia kepada tahap ekonomi yang lebih baik iaitu 1MDB dan penubuhan Felda Global Venture (FGV) Bhd kini seakan menjadi api dalam sekam kepada pentadbiran beliau dan pasti akan bertukar menjadi isu politik kepada Umno.

Ramai pihak sudah mula mempertikaikan kewibawaan dua projek ini terutama sekali 1MDB dan jika selama ini, pucuk pimpinan kerajaan dan parti menyatakan serangan itu bermotif politik daripada pembangkang tetapi kini ia datang daripada Tun Dr Mahathir sendiri selain Tun Daim Zainuddin.

Kedua-dua tokoh ini walaupun sudah bersara daripada kerajaan dan politik hampir 15 tahun lalu, tetapi masih berpengaruh besar memandangkan mereka mempunyai rekod sejarah yang dibanggakan rakyat Malaysia sehingga kini.

Di sinilah letaknya perbezaan utama Mahathir dan Najib sebagai Presiden Umno dan Perdana Menteri kerana pada zaman Najib, beliau tidak mempunyai barisan menteri Kabinet yang berpengaruh terhadap rakyat.

Najib dikelilingi penasihat ‘pandai memandai’ yang sebenarnya lebih banyak mementingkan perut masing-masing untuk mendapatkan projek daripada bermatian mempertahankan beliau dengan apa cara sekalipun daripada serangan-serangan ini.

Lebih menyeksakan Najib lagi, pemimpin yang lantang bersuara mempertahankan beliau tidak mempunyai kredibiliti dan pengalaman sehingga segala hujah mudah dipatahkan bukan sahaja di kalangan pemimpin pembangkang malahan di kalangan rakyat biasa sahaja.

Sama ada Najib masih boleh bertahan sehingga tempoh akhir Parlimen pada 2018 dengan segala serangan ini atau tidak, wallahhuallam…tetapi yang pasti lakon layar Umno ini bukan sesuatu yang memelikkan atau mustahil kerana tiada perkara yang pelik atau mustahil dalam parti ini."

Malaysia masyhur di mata dunia

Baru menerima gambar serta petikan artikel majalah Tempo dari rakan wartawan di Jakarta. 

Yang diterima ialah petikan dari Edisi Khas Majalah Tempo yang diterbitkan menjelang Ulangtahun ke-60 Persidangan Asia-Afrika yang akan diadakan diBandung minggu ini.

Jika apa yang dikepilkan ini benar diterbitkan dalam EDISI KHAS Majalah Tempo, nyata agenda transformasi yang dilaungkan Perdana Menteri kita telah berjaya. 

Malaysia kini masyhur di-mata dunia. 

Jangan tanya kenapa dan mengapa kita masyhur, tetapi kita nyata mashyur. 

Penduduk Indonesia berjumlah lebih kurang 300 juta orang. Jika hanya 10% yang tahu membaca pun, angkanya agak besar. Jangan risau, kita masyhur. 

Minggu ini pula ramai pemimpin dunia yang sedang berkumpul di-Bandung menghadiri Ulangtahun ke-60 Persidangan Asia-Afrika. Kita pasti lebih masyhur.

Katanya Edisi Khas ini akan tiba di-Malaysia dalam masa sehari dua ini. Jika ada percubaan untuk menghalang kemasukan atau gam majalah ini, kita akan bertambah masyhur. 

Kalau saman majalah Tempo dari Indonesia ini, maka akan bertambah-tambahlah kemasyhuran kita. 

Terima kasih Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak. 

p/s Buatlah apa saja yang difikirkan betul. Tiada siapa yang mampu menghalang mereka yang begitu masyhur dimerata dunia.  

DYMM Sultan of Johor said it last month

                         

Above is documentary proof of what Duli Yang Maha Mulia Sultan Ibrahim of Johor said in an exclusive pre-Coronation interview with the New Straits Times on March 22, 2015. That was about a month ago.

Please re-read DYMM Sultan Johor's own words HERE about the Johor Causeway, the bridge and quotes like 'even if we need to remove part of the causeway'. 

My advice to all those mainstream media editors and politicians who are overzealously in high gear to apple-polish their master, Don't cross the line! 

Please do continue to support a failed leader at your own peril but don't drag the palace into politics. 

Don't try to use or abuse the Royal Institution for your narrow self-serving politics. 

Don't twist, turn and completely disfigure what our Malay Rulers say with the best interest of this nation and her people at heart. 

If you happen to be a politician/ top editor who don't understand the English language, please get someone to translate the interview above and read it again for proper context.

p/s When you try to drag a Malay Ruler to appear on prime-time TV news to talk politics, please do remember that there are EIGHT other Malay Rulers in this beloved nation of ours.

The crooked bridge and me - Dr M

1. Some people believe that I am so angry over not building the crooked bridge that I want Najib to resign.

2. I am not so frivolous. Yes, I am disappointed, especially as Najib appealed to the Singapore PM to build a bridge and the latter rejected it. It is shameful that we dare not build a bridge in our own land without approval by Singapore.

3. This shameful episode is not enough for me to ask Najib to step down. Najib is the son of Tun Razak, the man responsible for my elevation to Prime Ministership. Partly for that reason and partly because Najib showed good performance when I was PM, I wanted Najib to be PM. And people know I worked hard at it pressuring Abdullah to appoint him as DPM, so that he would become PM, when Abdullah leaves.

4. But Najib failed in many areas after becoming PM. Apart from the bridge he did not go ahead with the double tracking and electrification of the railway line from J.B. to Padang Besar which had been agreed upon but was dropped by Abdullah. For 14 billion Ringgit we would have this project completed by 2010. Instead, forced by the demand, he sanctioned the continuation of the track from Ipoh to Padang Besar for 12 billion Ringgit. We lost a lot of money.

5. Then he began to recruit his own 4th floor boys plus a number of British personnel to advise him on how to run the country. They, also used foreign consultants costing more than 7 billion ringgit. We had achieved independence in 1957 and we got rid of British advisers. We did better without them. Najib did not seem to believe in the Malaysian capacity to develop the country.

6. Ignoring the EPU and other Government departments he set up a new agency to plan the development of the country. This agency was headed by a non-civil servant and the salaries of these personnel far exceed that paid to civil servants.

7. The civil servants were very unhappy. In the past they on their own transformed this country from a developing country to a middle-income nation. Now their services, their expertise and experience are no longer needed.

8. They had always been loyal to the BN Government. Now many no longer support the Government. Some even join the opposition after retirement and stood as candidates in elections.

9. As a result of the role given to this new agency the policies of the Government were changed. Najib was told that the rejection of Abdullah in 2008 was due to Chinese dislike for the New Economic Policy. To win them back Najib must ignore affirmative action and should be seen to be more supportive of the Chinese and Indians.

10. He reduced places for bumis in the Government Universities even though in the numerous private universities and twinned colleges, bumis make up less than 10%. Bumiputra contactors and small business no longer had government favour. Most had to stop their businesses.

11. Without saying so in so many words he had adopted the Malaysian Malaysia slogan of the opposition, only calling it One Malaysia instead.

12. Responding to opposition demand he abolished the ISA and freed all those under restricted residence. Crime rates went up.

13. Then he started giving money to people, not just to individuals who earn less than RM3000/- per month but to the associations and the corporate sector as well. Billions were spent on this.

14. Then rallies were organised on every occasions. The organisers were instructed to gather 10,000 people. They were given food and allowances and were transported to the sites, where they were given placards to hold up with “I love PM” written on them. A song 1M4U was composed and sung even at the national day parade.

15. Despite all these the Chinese refused to support Najib. They flocked to the opposition and he performed worse than Abdullah in the 13th General Election.

16. The Malays too did not support Najib. Selangor after he headed UMNO did worse than 2008. Malays only voted for BN because they feared Anwar would appoint Kit Siang as DPM.

17. Through all these I continued to support Najib. On the few occasions I met him, I told him his strategy was wrong but my views were ignored. I said before the 2013 elections that if he did worse than Abdullah he should resign. I had fully expected him to do better than Abdullah.

18. When he failed I told people that they should continue to support him. I was prepared, despite everything to see him lead the BN in the 14th GE.

19. But now with the controversies dogging him I am sure BN would lose if he leads it in the 14th GE.

20. There are many things about his personal behavior that I thought were not right. But I was prepared to overlook them, including he and his wife’s lavish lifestyle.

21. But when he cannot explain where billions of Ringgits have gone to and his involvement with questionable people in the management of 1MDB, I felt that he is not fit to be the Prime Minister of this country.

22. I will explain about how he lost billions of Ringgit in my next blog.

SEMBOYAN telah berbunyi, Terima kasih Tan Sri

Muhyiddin to Tun Mahathir: You're not alone Sir!


Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, nampaknya, telah tampil kehadapan untuk menyelamatkan Umno dan Barisan Nasional. 

Ungkapan 'you're not alone' atau 'Anda bukan keseorangan' yang dizahirkan dihadapan Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dalam satu majlis anti-peperangan di Kuala Lumpur hari ini membawa erti yang begitu besar, terutamanya kepada ribuan ahli, orang serta penyokong Umno, Barisan Nasional dan Kerajaan Malaysia. 

Ramai juga pemimpin dari akar umbi hingga peringkat tertinggi, termasuk kakitangan kerajaan, yang tertunggu-tunggu akan isyarat ini.

Pasti ada ulat-ulat yang akan cuba memperlekeh, memutar belit serta menipu diri sendiri akan ungkapan Timbalan Presiden Umno merangkap Timbalan Perdana Menteri ini. 

Di harap Timbalan Perdana Menteri tidak terkejut dengan reaksi golongan barbarian (hidupan tidak bertamadun yang dibela umpama hantu raya) yang pasti menyerang beliau di alam siber. 

Walau apa pun, saya ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Tan Sri Muhyiddin kerana muncul meniup api perjuangan menentang kebatilan pada saat dan waktu yang amat getir kini. 

Saat dan waktu kini sudah getir kerana pemungut hasil pun telah mula disalahgunakan untuk mengugut dan menindas mereka yang tidak menjunjung kebatilan. 

Kita juga harus berwaspada dan jangan lupa akan ungkapan 'kebatilan yang tersusun mampu mengalahkan kebenaran yang tidak teratur'. 

Jangan alpa dengan kebatilan yang dipersembahkan bersama irama merdu dan sogokan wang ringgit serta jawatan yang menjanjikan pulangan yang lumayan. 

Jangan gadaikan maruah serta masa depan dengan menongkah kebatilan yang sudah nyata.

Ini soal masa depan kita semua TANPA MENGIRA agama, bangsa, bahasa atau warna kulit.

We don't want a Police State - Dr Mahathir

During last Friday's no-holds-barred session with our statesman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at his Al-Bukhary Foundation office in Jalan Perdana in Kuala Lumpur, he was asked what made him remove his gloves in the ongoing 'fight' against Najib Tun Razak the Prime Minister.

The almost 90-minute session with bloggers was not a closed door meet, as agreed by Dr Mahathir and his aides. It was an open session for bloggers, especially for those who disagreed with Dr M on his recent criticisms against Najib, to clear their conscience. 

Dr Mahathir's response, when asked if there was a possibility of him being together with Najib again, shocked a few who understood the matter.

It was, as Dr M describes it, the straw that broke the camel's back after more than four years.

Listen carefully to what Dr M says in this video.

Dr Mahathir - Soal Tak Jawab

SOAL TAK JAWAB

1. Saya sedar saya keseorangan. Tetapi jika saya juga berasa bertanggungjawab kepada rakyat salahkah. Apabila duit rakyat hilang dan ini tersembunyi dari rakyat salahkah kalau saya tanya.

2. Saya fikir jika diadakan soal jawab melalui T.V tentulah kerana ingin beritahu rakyat, bukan saya sahaja.

3. Hakikatnya wang 1MDB ada dimana masih tidak dijawab, kata Dato Sri Najib wang itu tidak ada di Cayman Islands. Tetapi dulu mengaku ada di Cayman Islands dan sudah dibawa balik.

4. Rakyat jadi lebih keliru. Jika tidak ada di Cayman Islands, ada dimana? Daripada mana datang wang yang separuh dibawa balik dahulu dan separuh dibawa balik untuk disimpan di Singapura.

5. Kenapa perlu simpan duit yang bukan dari Cayman Islands dan tidak diguna untuk bayar faedah dua billion. Kenapa kerajaan membuat standing credit sebanyak 900 million.

6. Berkenaan Altantuya, saya hanya bertanya siapa yang memberi arahan kepada Sirul yang dikena hukum bunuh. Saya tidak tuduh Najib. Biasanya anggota polis atau tentera tidak tembak mati sesiapa melainkan diserang atau di arah. Ini soal nyawa manusia. Kalau salah, bunuhlah Sirul. Tetapi kalau menjalankan tugas, menurut perintah tidak adil lah jika Sirul dibunuh.

7. Ramai orang datang jumpa saya. Jika keluarga Sirul nak jumpa, saya jumpa. Ini bukan soal lapan tahun dahulu. Ini soal nak gantung anak orang ini hari ini.

8. Rakyat tidak tanya. Tetapi ramai tanya saya. Saya tak dapat jawab. Saya tanya orang yang boleh jawab.

9. Banyaklah lagi soalan saya yang tidak dijawab. Sebaliknya, tindakan saya ini kononnya kerana jambatan bengkok tidak dibina.

10. Jika kerana jambatan bengkok yang saya marah, saya patut tuntut perletakan Najib sebelum PRU 13. Sebaliknya saya berkempen untuk kemenangan Najib. Kepimpinan Najib di Selangor tidak berkesan.

11. Sokongan dari kumpulan-kumpulan tertentu tidak bermakna mereka sokong 1MDB. Mereka takut. Ada yang tanya saya berkenaan dengan 1MDB dan minta saya buat sesuatu. Sekarang ada ugutan terhadap sesiapa yang tidak menyatakan sokongan kepada Najib.

12. Teringat saya kepada ribuan orang yang dibawa berhimpun dan disuruh angkat sepanduk “I love PM” dan menyanyi “I M 4 U”. Tetapi dalam PRU 13 kalah.

If you don't believe Najib... - UPDATED

LATEST -13/04/2015 @1520hrs

Daily Express regrets their error of interpretation. We could once again enjoy the freedom of placing our trust in Allah without having to trust a tainted politician. 

Hope this 'error of interpretation' is not used to harass and intimidate journalists and editors in Sabah. Not seditious bah! 

Earlier posting

UPDATED - So, the earlier picture of Ismail Sabri's 'godly' statement appears to be genuine, as it appeared in Sabah's Daily Express newspaper today.

The rest I leave it to you to conclude. God save this nation of our.

This 'godly' statement has been making its rounds via Whatsapp groups since early today. Did Ismail Sabri actually make such a 'godly' statement in Kota Kinabalu? 

If you can screen capture this Front Page report in the Daily Express newspaper of Sabah, please email it to firdaus.mib@gmail.com  .

The Daily Express newspaper's website is suspiciously blank today. 

p/s As usual, in the next few hours you could expect reporters and newspapers be blamed for this Godly statement. Misquoted is the most common defence. 

Gerakan mencantas Muhyiddin Yassin?

Maklumat terkini yang diterima dari sumber-sumber yang boleh dipercayai menyatakan bahawa Timbalan Perdana Menteri merangkap Timbalan Pengerusi BN, yang juga Timbalan Presiden Umno Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin mungkin telah menjadi mangsa pertama dalam kemelut kepimpinan Umno masakini.

Difahamkan Mesyuarat Biro Politik Umno yang bersidang lewat semalam telah mengambil keputusan untuk tidak meneruskan tradisi melantik Timbalan Presiden Umno merangkap Timbalan Pengerusi BN untuk mengetuai kempen pilihanraya kecil.

Sebaliknya amanah Presiden Umno itu kini dianugerahkan kepada Naib Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi (untuk kempen BN bagi pilihanraya kecil kawasan Parlimen Permatang Pauh ) dan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussien (bagi PRK kawasan Parlimen Rompin).

Tidak pasti jika Muhyiddin yang kini berada di Jakarta  untuk lawatan kerja telah dimaklumkan terlebih dahulu ataupun beliau sendiri telak menolak tanggungjawab tersebut.

Kenapa Muhyiddin memilih untuk ke Jakarta dan tidak menghadiri mesyuarat penting Biro Pengurusan Umno di Kuala Lumpur? 

Walau apa pun, perkembangan yang agak mengejutkan ini pasti akan menimbulkan pelbagai persoalan serta tanda tanya akan hubungan diantara Presiden Umno Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Timbalan beliau. 

Satu lagi perkembangan yang akan mengeruhkan lagi keadaan serta menimbulkan pelbagai spekulasi ialah ura-ura akan tindakan menggantikan Muhyiddin sebagai Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara.

Jika maklumat di-atas adalah benar serta sahih, apa maknanya? 

Apakah Najib sudah tidak lagi mempercayai Muhyiddin atau mungkinkah Muhyiddin sudah tidak yakin dengan Najib?

Apakah sudah bermula langkah drastik untuk memperkukuhkan kedudukan Najib dengan menyingkirkan Muhyiddin yang hangat diperkatakan sebagai individu paling layak menggalas tanggungjawab sebagai Perdana Menteri bila Najib terpaksa berundur?

Sementara menunggu pengesahan/penafian atau pengumuman rasmi akan perkara yang disebut di-atas, marilah kita sama-sama mendengar serta mengambil iktibar dari nasihat ikhlas Menteri Besar Negeri Sembilan Datuk Seri Utama Mohamad Hassan.



Kata orang nasihat ini masih panas dan berhubungkait dengan kemelut kepimpinan dalam Umno. Saya tidak pasti, biarlah para pembaca sekalian yang membuat kesimpulan masing-masing.

Untuk makluman, Umno Negeri Sembilan mengadakan perjumpaan tertutup bersama Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin beberapa hari yang lalu di Seremban.

p/s Ini bukan hasutan. Jika ada mana-mana maklumat dalam tulisan ini yang tidak tepat, sila perbetulkan. Jika tidak betul samasekali, sila nafikan. Jangan ada balaci yang melompat macam kera kena belacan. I stand to be corrected. TQ

Tulisan terbaru Tun Dr M diterbitkan semula dibawah sebagai langkah berjaga-jaga daripada golongan bangang yang sering mengodam blog yang tidak sependapat atau tidak bangang seperti mereka. 

TIDAK WAJAR MINTA TOLONG DR MAHATHIR

1. Saya tidak tawar untuk menolong sesiapa untuk mengatasi apa-apa masalah.

2. Dalam blog saya, saya tidak menuduh Dato Seri Najib melakukan apa-apa jenayah. Itu boleh ditentukan jika polis dapat membuat siasatan. Yang saya pohon ialah jawapan kepada soalan-soalan yang disuarakan oleh ramai rakyat.

3. Saya akui dimasa saya juga ada kehilangan wang negara. Tetapi rakyat dan dunia tahu bagaimana wang ini hilang. Kerugian yang dialami oleh Perwaja diketahui. Demikian juga dengan salah urus Bank Bumiputra oleh pengurusannya. Maminco rugi kerana London Metal Exchange memutuskan bahawa bijih timah yang dijual mengikut perjanjian jual beli yang sah tidak perlu ditunaikan dengan membekal logam berkenaan kepada pembeli. Ini diputuskan untuk menyelamat penjual yang tidak ada timah. Malaysia sebagai pembeli mengalami kerugian.

4. Saya ingin penerangan berkenaan bagaimana Konsortium Perkapalan dan Forex merugikan Kerajaan dan bagaimana saya terlibat dalam perkara ini.

5. Yang nyata ialah negara tahu dimana pergi wang yang dilabur semasa saya. Dalam perniagaan adakala untung, adakala rugi. Yang tidak boleh diterima ialah duit itu hilang tanpa diketahui kemana.

6. Hari ini nilai Ringgit jatuh sebanyak 70 sen. Tiap satu Ringgit jatuhnya matawang kita, negara, Kerajaan dan rakyat kerugian berbillion. Kejatuhan sebanyak 70 sen pun merugikan berbillion Ringgit juga.

7. Tetapi apabila Ringgit diselamatkan dari penyangak matawang, berbillion Ringgit duit Kerajaan diselamatkan. Dan ramai peniaga yang muflis dan hampir muflis terselamat pada tahun 1998. Lupakan sahajalah peristiwa ini kerana ia berlaku dizaman saya.

8. Tetapi dalam kes 1MDB, tidak ada jawapan yang munasabah berkenaan 42 billion Ringgit yang dihutang. Kenapa bayar lebih 10% komisyen kepada Goldman Sachs hanya kerana menjual bond atau membuat pinjaman bagi Kerajaan. Kenapa faedah 5.9% dikenakan, satu faedah yang amat tinggi.

9. Disoal juga peranaan Jho Low. Siapa dianya yang diberi kepercayaan mengendali wang 1MDB berbillion-billion ringgit milik syarikat Kerajaan. Tidak ada persamaan antara Jho Low dengan Daim yang saya lantik sebagai Menteri.

10. Dimana datangnya ratusan million Ringgit untuk membeli bangunan-bangunan dan melabur dalam filem “The Wolf of Wall Street” oleh Riza Aziz, anak tiri Dato Seri Najib.

11. Saya bukan tuduh Dato Seri Najib. Saya bertanya beberapa soalan kerana hutang berbillion ini akan ditanggung akhirnya oleh rakyat. Jawapan tidak juga diberi oleh mereka yang mengecam saya selain daripada berkata saya punyai kepentingan atau saya juga buat kerja yang sama.

12. Apabila saya letak jawatan satu usaha dibuat untuk mendapat bukti saya lesapkan duit Kerajaan. Kalau hendak buat siasatan lagi, saya tidak ada halangan.

Dahulu sokong, kenapa tidak sekarang?

13. Pembaca portal “Free Malaysia Today”, Izack Chin bertanya kenapa saya dahulu sokong Dato Seri Najib supaya mengganti Tun Abdullah. Pada masa itu Najib ternampak bersih. Sekarang ada syak wasangka dikalangan orang ramai yang tidak terjawab..

14. Sudah lapan tahun berlalu kenapa bangkit perkara ini? Ini bukan masalah lapan tahun dahulu. Yang saya soal ialah berkenaan masalah hari ini – masalah nyawa dua orang anggota polis yang dihukum bunuh. Amatlah tidak adil jika mereka dibunuh sedangkan mereka sebagai pegawai rendah polis hanya mengikut perintah.

15. Saya hanya tanya berkenaan siapa yang mengeluar perintah kepada Sirul dan rakannya.

Temasek and 1MDB

16. Salleh Said Kruak compares Low Taek Jho and my critic of him with the criticism against me regarding Ananda Krishan’s involvement in Petronas and the appointment of my friend Daim Zainuddin as Finance Minister. I really do not see any similarity.

17. Ananda Krishnan bought the race course in Jalan Ampang. He could develop this prime land by himself. But he decided to sell one half share of the 100 acres land to Petronas and developed it together. Later he sold his tower to Petronas. What is wrong with that? Petronas made tons of money from the project.

18. There is no similarity at all between Temasek of Singapore and 1MDB. Temasek did not lose money but money borrowed by 1MDB has disappeared.

19. 1MDB is not excess fund belonging to the Government. 1MDB borrowed all its billions. Borrowed money cannot be regarded as wealth. So far the only asset owned by 1MDB are the pieces of land bought from the Government at a price very much below market price. They have been highly revalued. But until they are sold, they cannot be used to pay the 42 billion the 1MDB borrowed. They cannot even pay the interest.

20. As for the comment that it is unfair for me to ask Najib to step down as he was elected through democratic process, I would like to remind Datuk Jamal (Md Yunos) that Tun Abdullah was also elected but Najib was partly instrumental in asking him to step down.

21. With regard to my political agenda, what is wrong with that? A Prime Minister must be seen to be clean and able to explain and answer questions and to be good for the country. Najib cannot even answer and has not answered any question, beyond exercising elegant silence or saying the allegations are not true.

22. There is also an attempt to divert attention from my question by saying that I am siding with the opposition, even that I have become leader of the opposition.

23. If saying something that is similar to the opposition makes me aligned with the opposition, then Najib must be more with the opposition than me because he agreed with the opposition to abolish the ISA, the prevention of crime law and ignore the NEP. He also wanted to abolish the Sedition Act as demanded by the opposition. If UMNO did not object the Sedition Act would have been abolished. So is Najib a member of the opposition?

24. I am still an UMNO member. My disagreement is with the leader, not with the party. I criticised the leader, not the party. It is simply because I want to see the party win. It will not win if Najib is the leader.

25. I had great hopes when Najib took over from Abdullah.

26. But he did even worse than Abdullah, losing more badly in Selangor where he was the Head of UMNO. Thre are so many scandals surrounding him now. His popularity is now even lower than when he led the BN in 2013. In a number of constituencies the margins won by Barisan Nasional (BN) are very narrow.

27. Sabah and Sarawak, are now no longer safe, no longer BN’s fixed deposits.

28. Is it too absurd to predict defeat for the BN in 2018.

29. As for my sons, if I had wanted them to succeed in politics I could have done so when I was Prime Minister. If they succeed it will be by their own effort. If the people don’t like them they will not get this support.
