Thanks Dr Mahathir, for still caring about Johor

I would like to record here my deepest gratitude to former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad for still caring about Johor.


This is Tun M's latest posting in his blog,

JUAL TANAH

Excerpt from the posting,


Setelah pihak kita menebusguna selat di sebelah kita, pihak lain pula akan menebusguna sebelah mereka. Terusan akan jadi parit. Jambatan tidak perlu lagi. Siapakah yang akan bangun tanah tebusan yang mahal ini. Siapakah yang akan tinggal di bandar-bandar baru. Tentulah mereka yang berada sahaja yang akan memiliki kondo-kondo mewah yang akan didirikan.
Tak mengapalah kita dapat duit banyak. Pinggir hutan amat selesa. Kalau kita ternampak sebagai penumpang di negara sediri, itu pun tak mengapa. Selagi boleh jual negara sendiri apa salahnya menjadi penumpang.

Tun M's posting was highlighted by Rocky this morning in his posting 

Selling Johor off to foreigners?

which I am reproducing in full here. I don't think that Rocky really minds me doing that.


Former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's latest article Jual Tanah ought to wake up the powers that be in Johor. Even someone who's just gotten back from a news hiatus like me can see that the Tun is very concerned with the way some individuals in the southern-most State conduct business and themselves. Land is a state matter so Menteri Besar Khaled Nordin better get ready some convincing answers to the good doctor's queries on behalf of the State Government as well as parties who represent the interest of the Istana Johor.  The parties who represent (or claim to represent) the Sultan of Johor and his business interests, especially, do watch it. Remember, these are no longer those good old days ... 

Thanks Rocky.


I had highlighted the situation in my home state Johor several times in this blog. Of late I thought I am the only one among the pro-establishment bloggers who still care about it. 

In fact, I did not even notice any of the pro-Pakatan bloggers highlighting the issues in Johor. Probably they are happy about what is going on and knew that if things continue to go rotten in the state, it would be easier for them to take over in the next general election.

Now that Tun M and Rocky had also highlighted the situation in Johor, I feel more upbeat. Maybe there is still hope to save my home state. Maybe the powers that be will now sit up and do something. 

Umno leadership must save Johor, the TIANG SERI UMNO

I am reproducing here in full my pleading to PM DS Najib Razak which I posted on April 18. It was a day when I felt so sad thinking about what is happening in my beloved home state of Johor.


Datuk Najib, please save Johor
Honestly, I have to a certain extent given up on trying to save my home state Johor.


I am of the opinion that the excesses which have been going on in the state ever since the change of state administration following the 13th General Election last year would be too hard to stop now.

I had concluded that Johor is doomed to fall to DAP and its gang in the next general election.

More and more people, including from among the 83 per cent Johorean Malays who voted Barisan Nasional in GE13 are now fed-up with what's been going on in their state.

I do not wish to write in detail anymore about these excesses as I do not want to play any further part in causing the fall of Johor.

Suffice for me to say that Johor and its economic interests were being carved out into pieces and being distributed among several bunch of powerful people.

To make it even more shocking, all these were done in broad day light for all to see. It's done with impunity because those who did it feel that they were invincible and above the law.

There was no more sense of shame among these people.

That's why I had almost given up on Johor being saved.

I wouldn't have written all these if not for a plea I received from someone in Johor tonight.

This high ranking government official wrote these,
"Johor dah nak kena jual. Penjualnya is that so called pejuang rakyat dan agama. Semua dah dicontrol. Banyak isu-isu rakyat tak ditangani. Cuma sibuk jaga boss sediakan keperluan sambil sama-sama buat laba. Tolong kami selamatkan Johor."

The truth is I had tried, but I don't think I will get the desired results. I had written about all these several times previously without much impact.

After all, I am just an insignificant anonymous blogger.

All I could probably had achieved was getting more people to know about what were happening in Johor.

An instance which indicates that more people are becoming aware of the impending disaster in Johor was this blog posting by former minister and senior journalist DS Zainuddin Maidin,

TEAM BOLA SEPAK YANG DIBENCI DAN DIMUSUHI RAKYAT

Excerpts from the posting,

"Beberapa insiden yang berlaku sebelumnya mewajarkan kita untuk melihatnya sebagai  cetusan perasaan penentangan rakyat  terhadap penerapan budaya samseng dan ketakburan yang didorongkan oleh kemabukan kuasa dan keyakinan kepada  kekebalan."

"Jika keliaran  perasaan kekebalan dibiarkan bermaharajalela di hati  maka ia akan  semakin meghakiskan  keyakinan  rakyat kepada  kerajaan negeri  sebagai pelindung kehormatan mereka."

"Kerajaan negeri mesti berani untuk memberhentikan penerusan budaya ini dalam semua bidang demi untuk mengekalkan kehormatan  dan taraf   peradaban rakyat Johor dan juga pengekalan kerajaan BN di Johor.Kebencian ini boleh merebak menjadi kebencian politik."

Honestly, I don't think the state government under the leadership of DS Mohd Khaled Nordin is capable of doing anything regarding the situation as I think his people are being part of the problem.

I believe most people who know about the situation in Johor would agreed with me.

My personal opinion was that only PM DS Najib Razak could do something to save Johor.

I had made my appeal to all those whom I know, who have direct access to the prime minister.

I am sure if Datuk Najib, being a good man that he is, realizes the dire situation in Johor, he would have put a stop to all those excesses. The problem is that he may not be informed of the true nature of the problem in the state and the discontent which is brewing there now.

Therefore, I am renewing my plea,

Datuk Najib, please save Johor. Thank you.

  6. Sebagai anak jati Johor saya telah melihat perkembangan di Johor amat membimbangkan. Betul kata Dr Mahatir, orang Johor akan tinggal di pinggir hutan, hanya orang berharta sahaja akan berada di Johor Bahru. Yang dahulunya Selat sudah hampir menjadi parit. Tempat saya dan orang ramai beriadah bersama keluarga sudah tiada lagi. Danga Bay sekarang sudah menjadi macam di Hong Kong, orang Melayu tiada lagi kelihatan semasa pameran hartanah. Ini salah siapa?

  7. Kepada Pukimamak-Pukimamak bodoh. Kalau kamu sekalian berani datanglah ke Johor dan buatlah demonstrasi depan Istana Sultan Johor tentang perkara jual pasir dan tanah ini. Percayalah kami akan sepak buntut Pukimamak engkau hingga melayang kedalam Selat Melaka. Rakyat Johor selain Pukimamak macam engkau ini taat dan setia kepada Sultan dan negeri kami. Johor telah lama diabaikan oleh kerajaan pusat dari segi pembangunan kerana Melayu--Melayu macam mamak itu ingat orang Johor akan bodoh-bodoh sokong BN selama-lamanya. BN ke, UMNO ke itu semua tak penting. Yang paling penting ialah Sultan Johor yang sedang giat memajukan Negeri Johor.

    Daulat Tuanku!!
    Daulat Tuanku!!
    Daulat Tuanku!!

    Allah peliharakanlah Sultan Johor.

    Semua rakyat Johor yang sayang Sultan tahu nyanyi Lagu Negeri Johor

    Allah peliharakan Sultan
    Anugerahkan dia segala kehormatan
    Sihat dan ria, kekal dan makmur
    Luaskan kuasa, menaungkan kami
    Rakyat dipimpini berzaman lagi
    Dengan Merdeka bersatu hati
    Allah berkati Johor
    Allah selamatkan Sultan

    Orang Johor tak kira bangsa atau ugama menyebut perkataan Allah dalam Lagu Bangsa Johor secara bangga. Memang Sultan Johor ialah seorang Islam dan apakah salah orang Johor nyantyi Lagu Negeri Johor. Saya ulangi sekali lagi kalau Pukimamak Melayu macam engkau ini jantan datanglah ke Johor dan paksa kami berhenti nyanyi Lagu Negeri Johor.

    Allah Selamatkan Sultan Johor.

  11. Pinda Perlembagaan Negeri Johor. Berikan kuasa kepada parti kerajaan yang memerintah. Kuasa mutlak Sultan harus dibatalkan. Baru aman. Selagi Perlembagaan Johor tidak dipinda, selagi itulah negeri Johor menghadapi cabaran dari manusia orang orang yang tamak

    Semua melayu kena belajar cara perkuatkan ekonomi, konsep penindasan sudah bermula dari era kejatuhan singapura ke tangan cina, singapura or temasek yg asalnya kerajaan kesultanan awal sebelum empayar melaka akhirnya dimiliki kaum lain yang menindas penduduk asalnya dengan takbur dan bergaya. Dah tak perlu pkir psal pmimpin or harapkan politician mana-mana side pun dorang tetap Ejen penindas yg kononnya pandai berdiplomat.it about time kaum kita bangkit dengan kaki sendiri dan mula melangkah dan melaksana perang ekonomi terhadap ejen2 taghut ni
