Making way for Umno's young IT geniuses

Spend the whole of yesterday eating, sleeping and watching TV.

My diet has gone kaput.

But that's how I always celebrate CNY and Hari Raya.

I just rest and relax.

In fact, I am writing this lying on bed. Too lazy to get up.

Maybe later in the afternoon I'll join my aunts and cousins for some mahjong rounds.

Told myself I'm not going to be too serious when I'm in this mood.

Honestly, I don't even want to be too serious with this blog anymore.

I had actually been informed that the BN's cyberwar efforts, all the way to the next general election, will be taken care off by a group of young IT-savy geniuses.


So, it seems that there is no real need for this blog to be in the fight.

As it is, other independent blogs had also been considered too obsolete as a platform to fight the cyberwar.

The general plan is now for the fight to be carried out by the over three million Umno members and their BN allies via simple yet fast cyber platforms such as twitter, Facebook, and other micro social media sites.

The young geniuses will act as "generals" and provider of info as well as preparing the offensive and defensive tactics. Of course there will be the seniors to provide them with the necessary support.

Well, at least that's the theory which was said will be put into practice.

Honestly, it sounds good to me.

Better than wasting money on paying some dubious characters, who only know how to spew profanities  when fighting the well disciplined Pakatan cybertroopers.

And when not paid, they turned into hantu raya and sucked their masters' blood.

Well, some of the so-called independent bloggers are good people, but there are many who are just opportunists who "makan keliling".

Some even set up different blogs, with one supporting BN and another for Pakatan, while taking payment from both sides at the same time.

I really hope the new BN's cyberwar strategy will work and those young people put in charge of it were really sincere in fighting for the cause instead of just being there to enrich themselves by later on pocketing the allocations meant to fight the war.

I also hope they could immediately get cracking with what they were supposed to do.

It's been nine months since GE13 and I have yet to see any change of strategy with BN cyberwar effort.

Okay, maybe the smart young guys in charge need to be given some space to maneuver.

I think I will do my part by stepping aside and let them go to the frontline for this coming Kajang by-election.

I don't want to get in their way.

As had been argued, independent bloggers like myself tend to be too hard to control.

Most of us are after all not trained in journalism, thus the lack of professionalism.

We also tend to have a big ego which make things very complicated for the BN's cyberwar efforts.

Personally, I'm okay about being sidelined from the fight to make way for others who are more capable of fighting the war.

After all, I was never part of the Umno or BN apparatus.

I am not even a party member.

But, I do believe that BN, despite all its faults is still the better option compared to Pakatan. I believe that Anwar and his gang will destroy the country if given the power to govern us.

That was why I set up this blog in support of BN,

However, if the Umno and BN people think they don't need my help and prove to me that they can fight on their own, then I will give way to them.

At least, that's how I see it.

So, I think the new BN's cyberwar strategy should be given a chance.

Let the BN-employed young geniuses have their own space and execute their planning.

Kajang should be their baptism of fire.

Well, for the time being, I'm just going to relax and continue with my lepaking celebrations.

To get into the mood, here is the song that my mother used to sing me at bed time when I was a little kid...it's also a favorite of my grandmother and grand aunts whenever they occasionally hang out at karaoke joints.

  1. EVEN OIL RICH BRUNEI IS IN DECLINE - HOW CAN ?????

    Very severe brain drain as Brunei falls into decline

    Oil-rich Sultanate suffers severe brain drain as national economy declines

    - Failed to diversify economy even after 29 years of independence, 98% of exports still rely on oil & gas

    - Large portion of talented overseas graduates refuse to return despite extensive welfare

    - Set to become Asia's worst-performing economy this year with a mere GDP growth rate of 1.6% (IMF estimation)

    - Official government report revealed first quarter 2013 growth at a paltry 0.9%

    - Country continues to work towards a religion-based economy by 2035

    - Formerly ASEAN richest, now surpassed by Singapore in all aspects except social benefits

    - Economy stagnated for 15 years since the 1998 Asian crisis, skilled citizens fled country

    - The Islamic Sultanate of Brunei practise a more conservative brand of Islam compared to its more moderate neighbors Malaysia and Indonesia.

    The tiny Sultanate of Brunei, located on the north coast of the island of Borneo, is a wealthy nation. Its residents enjoy high standard of living and are relatively better-off than many other neighboring countries. It is safe and clean, infrastructure is in good shape, not to mention the enormous subsidies and welfare programs funded by petroleum revenues. So why are its brightest citizens running away? Why does Brunei suffer from a severe brain drain in the academic sector and also among its highly-skilled workforce?

    1. This clearly shows there's a movement or an agenda to bring down all Malay rule countries in the south east asian region and be dominated by people who traditionally don't belong here... immigrants

      Everyone knows that the brain-drain are not the malays but the agenda of the non-bumiputera who settled were refused citizenship for Brunei
      Thats why, Brunei till today have no problem handling propaganda that tries to topple their government as the one that spreading this propaganda are the Chinese.
      Chinese was able to unite China because of propaganda like this.

      Fortunately
      1) South east Asian people have big eyes so as they can distinguished that person a Bumiputera or a Chinese
      2) Sultan of Brunei did the right thing as not to give citizenship to ingrates
      3) If Malaya were not to have Chinese, the Malays in Malaya were also given more wealth to be distributed by the Sultans... think about it!

    2. Anon 16:24,

      I am confused by your comment.

      "...there's a movement or an agenda to bring down all Malay rule countries in the south east asian region..."

      You say that this movement is created by immigrants, presumably those who have lived in Brunei for generations.

      You seem to suggest that one way to bring down Malay rule was to create a brain drain.

      "...Everyone knows that the brain-drain are not the malays but the agenda of the non-bumiputera who settled were refused citizenship for Brunei..."

      So, now that the immigrants have been refused citizenship, they are leaving Brunei taking with them expertise and knowledge.

      Did you expect them to remain in Brunei and continue to be treated as second-class stateless people?

      "...Brunei till today have no problem handling propaganda that tries to topple their government,,,"

      Do you mean that Brunei is actually a very successful Islamic country and it's the Chinese who are saying it is not?

      So, all those economic figures are actually false?

      "...If Malaya were not to have Chinese, the Malays in Malaya were also given more wealth to be distributed by the Sultans....."

      Are you saying that the Sultans in Malaysia have been distributing wealth to the Chinese all these years?

      It is looking like false propaganda is being spread by everybody, not just the Chinese!!!

      Re.. Brain Drain

      First thing first, brain drain is not unique to Malaysia or now Brunei only. I have commented about this so many times. England is also in the top 10 countries based on report. Labour migration are due to various reasons;

      Jul 6, 2011
      10 Countries Facing the Biggest Brain Drain



      9. Malaysia: The brain drain in Malaysia has been steadily worsening, with the World Bank projecting it to intensify over the next few years. Currently, two out of every ten Malaysians with higher education seeks employment elsewhere, accounting for about 305,000 immigrants in 2009. There are a number of factors that contribute to this mass emigration, including job opportunities, political corruption and lack of religious freedom. Malaysia made big economic strides in the 90s, but growth has been halved in the past decade, slowing from 7.2% to just 4.6%. Experts believe this is largely due to brain drain, and caution that the nation could see serious economic issues if it doesn’t do something more to encourage professionals to work in their home country.

      10. England: While it isn’t seeing staggering losses like many countries on this list, it is valuable to see how brain drain is a problem even in developed and relatively wealthy nations like Britain. Over the past few years, England has seen a large number of its skilled professionals leaving for work abroad, with over 1.1 million university graduates living and working outside of the country. This accounts for almost 1 in 10 skilled citizens choosing to emigrate. This mass emigration of skilled professionals may have serious ramifications for the British economy, as professionals add to the workforce of nations like Australia, Canada, America, France and Spain rather than at home. When compared to other developed nations, these numbers are especially high, with only Germany coming close in terms of losses (with 860,000 workers lost), making it clear that even top nations with good schools, public health and lots of resources can be subject to brain drain.

      Re. Did you expect them to remain in Brunei and continue to be treated as second-class stateless people?

      It is a polite way to ask the Cinabeng to go, after what happens in Malaysia recently, Brunei has been more vigilant. The newly introduced Hudud Law is another blow to the Chinese and probably has significant impact on the migration. @ brain drain.

      Senang cakap, they are not welcome there, why should they stay. GOOD RIDDANCE.

      Fyi, Brunei foreign Labour Law policy is very open and friendly many foreigners especially from the west works there. One of my classmate from grad school was offered a job right after graduation in O&G company there.

      Just like Singapore, they prefer foreign talent than the Chinese.

      Re. Do you mean that Brunei is actually a very successful Islamic country.

      Where have you been living all this while? Sigh....

      Brunei is an oil rich country, however their domestic oil supply is depleting, but they are not stupid, together with Saudi Aramco, Petronas and Halliburton they have ventured into oil field in the gulf of Mexico, Canada, Africa , the Middle East and Iraq.

      Apart from that they are also very successful in with their 5 star Hotel venture throughout the world, Beverley Hill Hotel in L.A is one of them. Please google about their hotel, another hotel is the Hotel in Paris where Lady Diana and Dodi Al Fayed last dined at.

      Re. it's the Chinese who are saying it is not?

      What do you think?

      The Chinese are CONNIVING, INGRATE and SELFISH community, even here in Malaysia despite their economic success they still cried victim over and over again.

    4. Re. So, all those economic figures are actually false?

      It maybe true or not, but based present global economy climate no country is spared, not even America, Japan, EU and Singapore.

      Re. Are you saying that the Sultans in Malaysia have been distributing wealth to the Chinese all these years?

      Again, they may or they may not be true.

      But based on track record the Chinese have benefited from the BN GOMEN for a long time, Robert Kwok is one example, Berjaya, Lim Kok Wing and YTL is another.

      Robert Kwok, Berjaya and Lim Kok Wing have turncoat and supporting oppo. after 2004 and maybe much earlier than that.

      Fyi, Lim Kok Wing started to actually make the first big break break after getting the Rakan Muda contract. Just like Tony Fernadez with AirAsia and Ananda Krishanan with Binariang. But now the Tan Sri is Mama Dapster's BFF

      The trend is changing now, where more and more Malay businessmen are given the opportunities to the irk of the Chinese e.g. Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar, Naza Group, Mydin.

      wrt, to royalty there is a Chinese Businessman with a nickname Tengku Wong due to his close business association with one palace.

    9. Reposting Here (Annie you may delete this if you wish)

      Gladiator,

      1. Let me ask you this, why did you go berserk when I posted the story about devadasi "Prostitution of God" by calling me the enemy of the state?

      Please refer to Annie's entry on "Najib Shouldn't Entertain Anwar's Nonsense" and your comment dated 28 January 2014, 22:20.

      Can't bear the heat huh? ROTFL

      2. Here is your comment in the same entry on 28 January 11:01

      Quote " Pls stop being a racist. I can only but ask you to stop.
      Racism is one thing which has been killing Malaysia. You are no better than the so-called DAPster whom you hate so much." Unquote

      Care to explain how Racism has been killing Malaysia and in what way?

      As an Ultra Malay Racist "WANNABE" and through my naked eyes, only the poor Indian gangsters, mind you 75% of them make up that statistics, were the one who are being hunted to the death. Were their death due to racism in Malaysia?

      3. Your comment on People Spit on Islam because of people like me. Well maybe you are right there but in defense it is my Jihad (you may disagree with this, no problemo), but what about Hindu Indian who consume cow urine? Aren't they self-degrading themselves?

      Cow dung and urine 'healthy'

      'God resides in cow dung,' says Kesari Gumat, as he walks through his laboratory where researchers mix bovine excreta with medicinal herbs and monitor beakers of simmering cow urine.

      http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/expatnews/7398029/Cow-dung-and-urine-healthy.html

      4. Again, let's go back to root cause of this long-winded argument i.e. YOU CALL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN RELIGION AS STUPID.

      DYMM Yang Dipertuan Agung Malaysia is a Muslim, he believes in Relgion i.e Islam;

      Datuk Sri Najib Tun Abdul Razak is a Muslim, he believes in Religion i.e Islam;

      Datuk Sri Dr Zahid Hamidi, the Home Minister is a Muslim, he believes in Religion i.e. Islam;

      Annie the owner of this blog is a Muslim, she believes in Religion i.e. Islam;

      The list can go on and on. So are you calling all these people as stupid as well? Care to explain and confirm that?

      5. Finally, let's look at the suggestion from you to change the "Rukun Negara" particularly I believe the point of "Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan" which is your main concern. How do you propose to amend that? Bear in mind that next after that is "Kesetiaan Kepada Raja dan Negara" and the Raja in that phrase is a Muslim who believes in Religion i.e Islam.

  2. Despite what the online media said, BN really should contest the Kajang seat. It would be stupid if BN not contesting. Not contesting would be a recipe for disaster. To be honest, BN stand to lost more by not contesting. After all, it was not BN's doing. Like Dr. M said BN should give MCA the chance to contest the post. It is the best option. The rest are bad options. Just follow Dr. M advice.
    This is GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY for BN and MCA that they shouldn't missed. This is how you gauge your support after been giving a new mandate. By contesting, BN have an opportunity to gauge their strengh of support. BN, and the Rakyat will have the chance to see what the Kajang folks really feel about the mess those people have created. We would like to know if protest votes happening. Or things will still be the with or without by-election.

  3. THE STRATEGY

    For me, it has always been Party first which is UMNO.
    Despite its failure in individual level, the Party is not to be blamed
    as the goals is to help the Malays.

    The truth is, the Party still helps the Malays, just that the Malays are not seeing it.
    1) Education for the all Malays
    2) There are millionaire Malays excluding the royalty which didn't exist 60 years ago
    3) There are more Malays who are now holding important positions compared 60 years
    ago
    and the list goes on....

    Now, there are more Malays who have the knowledge, money or power to influence,
    bribe or threaten others.
    How they do it depend on the individuals not the Party as the Party's goal is to help
    the Malays.

    So.. This strategy is about UMNO first, BN second!

    WHY SHOULD MCA CONTEST in KAJANG!

    The reality is ANWAR will win this seat.

    But the strategy is to make UMNO even stronger
    and put the Chinese , MCA the scapegoat for their failing to strengthen BN

    Put the Chinese in a position to vote .
    If they vote for Anwar .... MCA will lose

    Then UMNO will have the bargaining power!
    Then UMNO can say to MCA.. "i told you so...."
    UMNO can say to MCA " you need us rather than we need you"
    UMNO can say to the Chinese " what can we do for you?" in a sarcastic tone
    UMNO can say to the Chinese "Let Anwar decide for your community"
    (remember what Anwar did as a Education Minister, cina mudah lupa?)

    UMNO will reign even stronger after this PRK even when they "lost!"

    Yang penting Party UMNO dan Party Party Bumiputera Sabah & Sarawak

  4. Kajang seat is an urban seat with mixed population. Race and religion cards won't work for them. Fielding MCA representing BN would be the best option. Other than that option is highly discouraged. It is an MCA seat so MCA should stand. MCA should be given a chance to showcase their talent and to atone their past sins. Like Yoko Ono always said "Give a peace a chance". So here it would be "Give MCA a chance". They will do it right this time around. They don't ask much other than for the other component parties to use their conscience to step aside and give room for them to contest. They don't ask for anything else except to give them this lovely opportunity. I don't understand why some people are afraid if MCA contest the seat. Even went so far by pulling special editorial to pooh pooh the idea and the people who floated it.
    Kajang folks must be feeling really upset with the game played at their expense recently. They must have felt sorely used. Being pushed around as if personal property. No respects what so ever. After all this while, all the talks from them, Rakyat this and Rakyat that in their rallies are just full of bull. It is never about the people actually, it is about the selected few at the highest echelon of the party. For them, politic is not about serving the people and fighting for their rights, politic is the tool to wrest power at any cost, no matter how dirty the means. They don't care what gonna happened to people they serve. They just look after their own need first. There's always excuses and load of bull to justify it. They have been taken for a ride after for the support that have been given. They must be asking them self, why Kajang? Of all the place in Selangor, why should their town have to be the pawn in their filthy game. This by-election will be an excellent outlet for them to express what they actually feel. We would like to see if Rafizi's crocodile tears could play some crucial role.

    1. Reposting here so that you understand the root of the issue better:

      Re. If anything, the Kajang by-election will be more of a testing time for MCA

      MCA is dead or MIGHT AS WELL DEAD. You don't go to war to test the Market, you go to war to win. It is the tax payer money you are wasting, not mention time wasted.

      Re. It will be almost like a victory if MCA loses by a much smaller margin.

      You don't go to war to lose, even by a small margin. If you are not 110% confident then better back off. Latest statistics shows that 49% voters are Malays, 41% are Chinese and 10% are Indian. In the last election, PKR won by 6000 plus margin only.

      Given that the Chinese are no longer with BN and Asal Bukan UMNO, they won't swing their vote en mass and no amount of goodies will do that. If any, the PRK Sungai LImau is a good example , where majority of them didn't come out to vote.

      It is the "MELAYU" UMNO's battle and no longer MCA Chinese battle. Should UMNO/BN field MCA candidate, it will suffer major repercussion by the "MELAYU TOTOK" since this is a Malay majority constituency and WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH MCA and CINA. Should UMNO/BN field UMNO candidate, the following will be revealed win, lose or draw:

      a. Should UMNO win, the talk about the Malay Tsunami after PRU13 is in fact true considering that Chinese votes are not longer relevant and needed after PRU13 (due to their own doing, Gelang Patah is the testing ground and Bukit Katil is another). It is an affirmation of Malay Unity and Support to the GOMEN of the day and moving forward.

      b. UMNO/BN will have to work really hard to appease the MELAYU TOTOK and has to sacrifice the "Semangat Setiakawan" with MCA, for what happen to them is their own doing not UMNO/BN/Melayu and their mere existence today by the grace of ALLAH is at the MERCY of "TOTOK MELAYU" votes in the last PRU13 not the Chinese;

      C. Sadly, nobody talks about the Indian, they are left in the rut as usual and being used again and again by both sides. There are 10% of them there ( according to report quoting Helen) and the split is 45% BN and 55% Pakatan. The trend should likely to remain the same this time around,unless Anwar Ibrahim's Kampung Buah Pala debacle has been forgiven and forgotten by the poor Indian; A point to note, the rich, the professional, the christian and "I am Not Indian Actually" don't root for BN/UMNO anymore.

      The question now is, what is the new "gula-gula" that Anwar and Pakatan will peddle to the poor Indian community this time around? Last time was his antic as "Sivaji the Boss" complete with the costume, look here you Indians:

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQbhVFdzWIQ

      D. The Chinese are irrelevant in this coming PRK, they are just bonus point for UMNO/BN, in fact MCA Chinese is the one who is "terhegeh-hegeh" begging for the "Totok Melayu" votes while they themselves are already a Pariah in their own community.

  5. Annie,

    As Sir Wenger J Khairy said recently on your blog , they have a very smart team - apparently, according to him.

    Young IT-savvy geniuses, eh? I have often wondered what an IT-savvy genius is. I have encountered many who claim to be leet but .....

    A person who is clever using Facebook, Twitter, etc is not IT-savvy in my books, clever maybe, IT-savvy hardly.

    I suspect that the best this so-called IT-savvy team can do is to be annoying by spamming people.

    Don't believe me? Watch :)

      Re. I have often wondered what an IT-savvy genius is. I have encountered many who claim to be leet but .....

      If you are still wondering what an IT-savvy genius is, please refrain from judging those that you have encountered, unless you, yourself. have a very solid idea and understanding of what it is all about.

      Meantime, the "leet" that you met are group of people "Commonly the people who cracked the software, or had sysop access on a board would be referred to as Elite. Later it became common to just use "leet." With the internet explosion it was later used to describe hackers as well as crackers. Due to it being great to be known as leet, newbies started adopting the term and using to describe themselves, often with numerical variations."; Unless you have different understanding of what leet is.

      But I strongly believe the GOMEN's intention and strategy here is to have a strong social media communication strategist and not hackers and crackers, though that skills will be an additional bonus.

      Re. A person who is clever using Facebook, Twitter, etc is not IT-savvy in my books, clever maybe, IT-savvy hardly.

      IT Savvy or Techsavvy refers to the proficient ability to navigate and use typical computer programs for a given task or project. This ability is continually compromised every few years because software companies needlessly rearrange the layout and menu structure of new versions touting them as “new and improved”, forcing users to continually relearn new operating systems and applications. Here I assume you were referring to the technical aspect of skills.

      Again, I don't think that the GOMEN is merely looking at that aspect skill sets, but it is more of social media communication strategist in the war of perception, they lost big in the last PRU. Thus research, report, writing, critical thinking, damage control, window dressing, counter argument skill etc are of paramount. Hence, you can't discredit a person who is clever using Facebook, Twitter etc. should that person has the required skill sets. If that is the case, Annie, Helen and the rest of the pro-BN bloggers who are not IT savvy based on the real definition, are not included as well, and maybe "STUPID" according to you (I am just saying).

      Please do not confuse between MEDIA or SOCIAL-MEDIA SAVVY with IT SAVVY, for though they are related, they are two different skills altogether.


      Re.I suspect that the best this so-called IT-savvy team can do is to be annoying by spamming people.

      ROTFL, Why do you think that the DAP and their REDBEANIE have been very successful with their war on perception in media then? Granted that they are not playing fair but they are a forced to be reckoned with. Hence the GOMEN's decision on setting up of similar team. The proposed team may not stoop to the Redbeanie's level, but if needs be they can play the oppo.'s game by being annoying and spamming people.

      You see Gladiator, when you want to discuss issue, you need to look at the root cause and the surrounding environment that leading to it, not just want you see with your naked eyes. SIGH!....

  6. Did they also tell you that your participation is no longer needed? Or are you just hurt because you're not invited to join their cyber team? Tak perlu cepat merajuk atau melatah. UMNO will do what it thinks it needs to do. Doesn't have any bearing on free bloggers who support BN. Unless they start bossing you around and commanding you on what to do. If they give you info and stats - ammo to snipe the other side - then why complain?

  7. Re. I had actually been informed that the BN's cyberwar efforts, all the way to the next general election, will be taken care off by a group of young IT-savy geniuses.

    These genius will browse through all the pro-BN blogs including yours and Helen to source for info and used that as their own; including the followers comment. Easy Job ma!

      Is that you best shot? Let's look at your comment :

      Re: you are one seriously deluded fuck.

      Deluded is defined as "impose a misleading belief upon (someone); deceive; fool."

      Tell me in which part of my above statement is deluded?

      Bloggers usually browse around other blogs or portal to scoop for news, many of them are not trained as researcher, reporter, journalist and/or writer. That's why many of the times you will see news/issues being recycled and republished from one blog to another.

      Unlike researchers, reporters or journalists, they don't have the "luxury" to get the first hand news from the horse mouth or those related to the party.

      So tell me now, is the observation is deluded by "your" standard.?

      Re. Fuck

      1. Fuck by definition as verb, is to have sexual intercourse with (someone).or it can also be defined as ruin or damage (something);

      2. noun an act of sexual intercourse;

      3. as exclamation used alone or as a noun the fuck or a verb in various phrases to express anger, annoyance, contempt, impatience, or surprise, or simply for emphasis;

      If you are trying to throw SALVO at me, you'd better get your fact right and straight otherwise you can just FUCK YOURSELF as in the 2nd. definition

      Re. Get with reality.

      I know the truth hurts. Tell me more about how you feel about your broken EGO?

  9. I hope those IT Savy kids does not elevate the existing inter-racial tension by making derogatory remarks on anyone ethnicity.

    Everybody must be 'color blind'. Stop mentioning the race of anybody, anywhere. e.g. Maybe, instead of 'Happy Chinese New Year' we should write, 'Happy Lunar New Year'. Hopefully, in time everybody forget their race and be truly Malaysian.

    If you are for 1Malaysia, Malaysian-Malaysia or National reconciliation, stop harping on someone's line of origin or ancestry . Lay-off the Mamaks remarks on me since I’m not a Mamak. Stop reminding us of Dr.M's descendant or how he wrote his race as a young student, down south.

    If people from neighbouring countries wants to share the bounty of this land and become its citizens, so be it. Lets us share the prosperity together.

  10. Frankly I don't really care whether UMNO or MCA candidate will contest in Kajang PRK. What I want is for Pakatan Rakyat and PKR to 100% foot the bill of this by election since they are making a mockery of our democratic system. I don't think BN ever pull a stunt like this and yet PKR has done it twice (once in Permatang Pauh and now Kajang)! Wasting millions of taxpayers money just so their idiotic Anugerah Tuhan can satisfy his craze for power!

    When I thought that PR can't go any lower.. and they prove me wrong again!

      I am sure that can even put that in their MANIFESTO and after winning, they will raise various taxes from Selangorian to cover the bill in the name of SelangorKu.

  11. BLAME YOURSELF

    KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 30 — Ahead of tomorrow’s Chinese New Year festivities, an Umno deputy minister has urged the Malay community to cease their anger and envy towards the Chinese for their successes.

    Instead, Datuk Ahmad Maslan said the Malays have only themselves to blame if they have no ambitions to become entrepreneurs and improve their lot in life.

    “Don’t be angry at the Chinese. Malays have their PPR which are small like a bird’s nest, but they look below and they see all these big houses owned by rich men,” said Ahmad, using the Malay initials for the low-cost People’s Housing Project.

    “Don’t blame them, ladies and gentlemen. That is because they do businesses. Who told you not to do business?” he said to a mostly Malay audience today.

    Earlier in his presentation, he pointed out that there is only one Malay entrepreneur in the list of top ten millionaires in Malaysia: tycoon Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar al-Bukhary.

    He also mentioned that the cumulative wealth of the eight Malay millionaires in the top 40 list still could not match the wealth of Chinese billionaire Tan Sri Robert Kuok, who tops the list.

  12. Exclusively Malay assets ie those under Malay Reservation are generally worth significantly less that those which are open to the other (albeit minority) races.

    It takes ingenuity and hardwork to make assets valuable.

    In 1955, Burma was the richest country in SE Asia. It declined when certain policies were pursued. The same thing is now happening to Brunei. History repeats itself.

      How do explain Kanpung Baru then? There are many more example actually.

      In addition, many Malay Reserved Land are located in rural area and classified under agricultural or homestead land. It will remain under value until certain effort is made to change into commercial land. Fyi, most Malay land owner now have become smarter, they rather have a piece of land of let's say of one acre value at maybe RM30,000 depending on area, with Kampung house and enough luxury space to have comfort for perpetual than having to pay RM500K for unit of condo with 99 years lease, that doesn't include having to pay maintenance fee monthly.

      Re. It takes ingenuity and hardwork to make assets valuable.

      While it is true most of the time, the cinabeng is also known as master of manipulation true property speculation.

      Please read more of the danger of property market speculation.

      Re. In 1955, Burma was the richest country in SE Asia. It declined when certain policies were pursued.

      Burma closed its border to the rest of the world, thus it has become an isolated nation and become a pariah nation. It only opened its door in early 1990's.

      Please learn to compare apple to apple and not apple to orange.

      Re. The same thing is now happening to Brunei. History repeats itself.

      You mean Brunei is becoming like a Pariah nation likes Burma did once? How do you justify the Phillipines economic scenario then.? or Greece?

      Or how do you explain the property market in Singapore where now even the average Singaporeans are unable to own HDB flat? Please read read about Homeless in Singapore:

      P.S

      Not very smart in your argument actually, while the intention is to paint that the Malay are MALAS or BODOH .

    2. How Singaporeans earning 1000 a month can own HDB flat:
      (from sg.news.yahoo.com 3 March 2012)

      Minister of State for Manpower and National Development Tan Chuan-Jin on Friday evening took to Facebook to clarify the comment made by Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam in Parliament on Thursday.

      In a Facebook note titled "Earn $1,000 a month and you want to buy a flat?!", Tan intended to clarify and break down the process that permits a household that earns a combined monthly income of $1,000 to purchase a two-room Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat.

      Taking the example of a two-room Build-to-Order (BTO) flat in Fernvale Lea in Sengkang, that was offered in January this year, Tan took its selling price of $100,000, from a price range of between $83,000 and $112,000.

      He said first-time applicants who earn $1,000 in combined monthly income qualify for the Additional CPF Housing Grant of up to $40,000, as well as the Special CPF Housing Grant of up to $20,000, which can be used for the down payment for the flat purchase. This will amount to offsetting $60,000 from the selling price.

      With a loan from HDB for the remaining $40,000, Tan demonstrated the repayment as follows:

      Taking a 30-year loan: $161 per month
      Taking a 25-year loan: $182 per month
      Taking a 20-year loan: $214 per month

      He pointed out that for an income earner with a $1,000 monthly salary, he has $217 contributed monthly to his CPF Ordinary Account, which means that his monthly cash outlay will be $0.

    3. Homeless in Singapore

      Quote "On Oct 21, The New Paper ran a story about a family living out of a van at the East Coast Park area. 2 things are glaring: one, the family has a three-room flat in Punggol they have applied for since last year, but they’re not able to move in because a $20,000 resale levy isn’t paid; two, They are one of several families that spend the night at vehicles at that carpark.

      Meaning to say they are not alone. And if you noticed, the sole breadwinner earns $2,100 a month: net off his CPF employee contribution at 20%, and his effective monthly disposable income is $1,680 — still above the international definition of poverty, but poor enough to be poor in Singapore if you had a family to feed.

      There have been calls for the imposition of a minimum wage, but the problem is determining what is an acceptable minimum wage rate: $1,500? $2,000? $2,500? Therein lies the difficulty of figuring what is an acceptable minimum wage, because whatever methodologies you used to work out the sum, the whole exercise at some point would seem arbitrary, because disposable incomes come into play with lifestyle choices, and there is no way you can come up with a matrix that covers all lifestyle preferences; in other words, you cannot have a condition where you make someone else better off, without making someone else worse off."

  13. Let's cut the crap about being Malaysian or 1Malaysia or bangsa Malaysia or watever
    that means!
    Let's be realistic!

    You don't expect all the Malays to be sitting down quietly and accept
    the taunting or criticism from the Chinese in the real world or via internet?
    Most of this provocation comes from the Chinese spreading propaganda
    of hate and race "superiority" over non-Chinese as if it's true.

    You can't expect the Malays not retaliate, is it?
    A human is to err...
    And its impossible to stop now, since now the Chinese think its okay to "express" freedom of speech, is it?
    But what the Chinese forgot is that....

    1) UMNO provide knowledge to Malays to "counter" what you are doing
    you think all malays are stupid, not understanding your Sun Zhi art of war
    tactics of manipulation,propaganda, confusion, hypocrisy or etc

    2) UMNO enrich the Malays to stand on their own feet
    Like it or not, UMNO still provide fund or money to the Malays even though
    they are being accuse of cronyism, corruption, etc etc
    This is to ensure that the money is well spent to help Malays who in turn
    help other Malays
    You don't give money or fund to people who will most likely to fail
    That's the hard reality of business world!

    3)UMNO create power to the Malay to remain status quo
    No matter what Chinese tactics they come up with...
    Malays will eventually edge out due to CREATIVITY
    When UMNO was at the end's meet in 2008... PERKASA suddenly emerged
    When 2013 Chinese tsunami happened, there's Sabah and Sarawak came to the rescue and some say Indian (the forgotten ally)
    etc......

    Which is why, today... UMNO is being "attacked" by opposition as
    its the HEART of the Malays' survival
    (of course, Islam ... but we don't want the topic of religion to be involved in this)

    So, don't be over-confidence... check your own backyard first
    China has no democracy which is why the "overseas Chinese" create chaos
    in other people's (non-chinese) yard.
    So that in Asia, only the motherland(China) reign supreme
    example: Thailand
    the political instability is cause by ethically "Chinese" Thai politician who spread propaganda of hatred to the Thai people.
