Mat Sabu: Region faces complex security dynamics
or this one by FMT
US-China row affects regional stability, says Mat Sabu
which were written as reports from the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, you would probably think that there's nothing wrong with our defense minister.
He sounds quite ministerial and even a bit boring.
Actually, those stories are part of the magic tricks of our media in this age of Malaysia Baru which is begining to feel more and more like Malaysia Lama when media outlets spun their stories to make ministers look good.
Well, this is Mat Sabu in video at that premier Asia Pacific defense and security summit,
Yup, that's our defense minister.
Nice or not?
And he is the president of one of the parties in the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition.
Okay, I'm not going to say anything about the standard of his English because I have no problem with people who speak the language that way. I'm not an arrogant Anglophile snob.
I just want you all to concentrate on the message that Mat Sabu was trying to convey....if you can understand what he was saying la.
My favourite part is when he said that the Chinese Coast Guard is bigger than our navy and because of that there's nothing we can do except to talk to them if the Chinese decide to come over and do whatever they like in our territory.
In all seriousness, if our own defense minister can say that in front of an international audience, then we may as well close down our navy and save the billions of ringgit for our country's defense.
Heck, why not close down our entire armed forces while we are at it. Let's not waste our tax payers' money.
Just roll over and die whenever anyone wants to invade our country.
Yeah, why bother, right?
Even the Singaporeans have better looking armed forces than ours. So, tell the world la that we are going to let them take over our country if they feel like it.
And I wonder what our soldiers, sailors and airmen of Angkatan Tentera Malaysia think of what Mat Sabu said at the event.
The guy who is more or less in charge of them basically said that they are quite useless.
All those sacrifices, and lives lost while defending this country over the years amount to nothing for this current defense minister.
He can't even seemed to remember how our armed forces defeated the communist insurgency, won the confrontation with Indonesia and other instances when our men and women in uniform did good in defending our country.
I don't know lah, but this sort of idiocies among the Pakatan ministers are really getting on my nerves.
And it doesn't seem to be getting any better any time soon.
Ini story lebih kurang sama dengan Najib JUMPA Trump yang Mahu membantu ekonomi US dengan wanG KWSP Dan pembelian Boeing.
ReplyDeleteBukankh story ni lebih kurang macam atoq lalok jumpa pm jepun nk jual negara kh? Lepas ni malaysia patut bubar kementerian pertahanan & tentera, sbb bak kata mat babun & atoq, malaysia dh boleh di serang mna2 negara kuat sbb buang masa 'malaysia' nk lawan balik.. Adakah ph & menteri2 nya mmg terlalu bo*g*k atau sel2 otak x bersambong..
DeleteIf you are not fluent in English and don’t have the confident to converse in that language on the international stage, use your mother tongue language to make your life easier. Always. Let’s the interpreter do the jobs afterwards. No need to feel ashamed about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Russian, Thailand ministers speak in their native language when speaking to international audience. They don’t use English even though most of them speak perfectly good english. It just that they are afraid to blurt out something silly. Something you’re not suppose on international stage. So they speak in their native language. It saves them all the embarassment and not misquoted.
True.. agreed with u 100%
DeleteYou're absolutely correct Anon 11:03
DeleteThe problem with Melayus, the likes of Mat Sabu... they're either ashamed or have no pride in speaking their own native language, especially when abroad or there're a few Matsalleh amongst the audiences.
Perhaps Liew Chin Tong should take over Mat Sabu as Defense Minister. If Chin Tong feels uncomfortable expressing himself well, either in Malay or English, he can always speak his native dialect... Hokkien or Cantonese.
RD, Aku rasa mat sabu ni cakap bahasa melayu pasar bolehle, bahasa rasmi rasanya berterabur gak. Yg lebih penting dari bahasa ialah isi nya. Ucapan dia ada isi ke? Baik le tukar je speech writer tu, cari le yg betul2 ada pengetahuan.
DeleteWhat do you expect from a minister yg ada sijil kulinari dan working experience jadi penceramah badut kat majlis PAS dan PAN.
DeleteAnon 15:54.
DeleteMasaalah Mat Sabu ni, bukan boleh selesai dengan tukar speech-writer. Lagi pun, peranan speech-writer, walau sehebat mana sekali pun, langsung tidak boleh diguna-pakai dalam sessi soal-jawab atau Q & A.
Saya percaya, video Mat Sabu bercakap diatas, disunting dan dipetik dari sessi-soal jawab.
Manakala link ke laporan The Star & FMT yang Annie beri... dan suruh kita baca... dipetik dari ucapan Mat Sabu, sambil beliau baca ikut-skrip yang ditulis oleh speech-writer.
Masalah sebenar dengan Mat Sabu... dia kurang membaca. Kalau baca pun, mungkin tak faham apa yang dia baca... sama seperti baca Quran dalam Arab. Bunyi saja yang sedap, tapi pengisian, langsung tak paham.
Bertambah teruk lagi, gaya berucap berapi-rapi sudah sebati dengan naluri beliau. Sejak menjadi ahli-PAS pada 1981, cara atau style beliau berucap atas pentas ceramah adalah dengan buat-lawak berunsur sex, guna bahasa-kesat dan maki-hamun musuh-politik belaiu, semestinya UMNO/BN. Inilah yang paling diminati dan menjadi penarik-kehadiran orangramai.
Ceramah Mat Sabu, boleh dikatakan pecah-panggung. Orangramai datang berduyun-duyun mendengar beliau buat-lawak dan berceramah-politik.
Tidak hairanlah jika Mat Sabu dikenali sebagai 'ayam-tambatan' PAS ketika zaman-muda beliau. Beliau juga pernah ditahan dibawah ISA dalam Ops-Lalang, dua minggu selepas Prebet Adam mengamok di Chow-Kit Road pada 1987.
Saya tahu kerana saya berasal dari Baling, Kedah. Sekitar pertengahan 80 & 90an dulu, setiap kali ada ceramah-politik yang membabitkan Mat Sabu, padang dan kawasan sekitarnya akan menjadi seolah-olah ada pesta-keramaian, dengan orang-berniaga seperti pasar-malam dan selalunya mengalahkan tarikan artis paling-popular tanahair ketika itu... seperti Uji Rashid, Hail Amir, Andre Goh dan DJ Dave.
Sebab itulah, Mat Sabu menghadapi masaalah untuk bercakap sebagai seorang Menteri, setelah tidak lagi menjadi pembangkang.
Yang pasti, kerja-politik... jadi Pembangkang, jauh lebih mudah dari jadi Kerajaan.
The minister need a very good advisor and to be attached to him always
ReplyDeleteThe ministry of defense need a new minister.
DeleteInstead of an ignorant clown who only knows to belittle the country and the soldiers who defend it.
We have to face the fact that Mat Sabu has low IQ aka stupid and he is not suitable as the MoF. The best job for him is as a dish washer at Mindef.
DeleteError: it should be MoD!
Delete
ReplyDelete.if you can understand what he was saying la...
Bab father and mother mmg tak faham. Dia suruh merisik latar belakang asal usul eg father and mother Atok dan Lim Kit Siang gitu ke?
Takut2 nanti macam doktor Rantau aritu kata .. dia ada anak2 manusia dan ada anak2 bulu bulu??
Confius la. Mr Sabu klo baling microfone nampak la tanjak cengey sikit sebagai Menteri Pertahanan.. baru la Menteri2 negara lain termasuk China seram sikit kat dia.
Professor Nasi Lemak
Isssh awat la koman sgt Menteri ni.
The most Mat sabu can pick from here is:
ReplyDeletehe should just speaks malay. (priority 1)
learn/ polish his english (priority 2)
Siapa la speech writer menteri ni, saje pedajai ke? Apa2 pun diri sendiri yg salah sebab 1) tak bagi orang yg lebih arif proof read dulu ucapan tu & 2) pemalas, x praktis dulu berkali2. 10x ganda lebih teruk dari speech zahid hamidi kat un.
ReplyDeleteDalam sessi Q & A, langsung tak boleh guna khidmat speech-writer, melainkan semua soalan sudah di'atur' terlebih dahulu.
DeleteRD 21:29, Tq atas pencerahan. Saya x sampai hati nak tengok video clip tu, maluuu.
DeleteLiew Chin Tong jadi Menteri Pertahanan, tak maluuu la kot.
DeleteRD,
DeleteDah tak ada orang Melayu dalam PH boleh ganti Mat Sabu?Kenapa nak lantik apek DAP?
Dah lantik Melayu, Melayu sendiri yang memperlekeh Bangsa sendiri... lebih baik lantik Cina. Lagi pun, banyak bos-bos besar di Jabatan Kerajaan, Hospital dan lain-lain... adalah Cina atau India. Boos Kastam, India. OK ja... orang Melayu terima arahan dan bekerja dibawah mereka.
DeleteBila bos-Melayu, banyak pulak komplain.
Pada Saya... lebih baik percaya Cina-DAP dari Cina-MCA yang hubungan politik Party-to-Party dengan Party Komunis China.
Kamu tak rasa curiga ka... bila MCA guna gambar President mereka sedang berjabat-tangan dengan President China padam billboard, semasa berkempen PRU14?
Najib pun satu... lebih percaya Cina-Jho Low dari Melayu seBangsa & SeAgama dengan beliau.
Manalah tahu... Jho Low (tak tahu la, beliau & keluarganya di Pulau Pinang, sokong MCA atau DAP) mungkin dihantar DAP untuk menjahanamkan UMNO dari kepala-bapaknya.
Setelah menghayati apa yang cuba disampaikan oleh abe mat bilik hotel KB ini, ambo berpendapat adalah lebih baik dia bercakap dalam bahasa Malaysia
ReplyDelete2. Nothing wrong to be speak in our Malaysian language if kita bercakap in English lebih banyak menimbulkan masalah dan kekeliruan
KESIMPULAN:
Antarabangsa akan MORE RESPECT kita BILA KITA MENJADI DIRI KITA
i think its ok. just dun nitpick around his slang terms or or pronouns or grammar usage, then yes, he can communicate well. with a little comfort he may beat uncle zahid..kihkih…
Deleteso how many here can speak good englisg? prof nasi lemak? kih..kih..he does mix it with all kind of vernacular words…he slaughters both melayu n english words n grammars atrociously….hes no better. so r u...n yet u laugh at mat sabu. dare u.
Fatin,
DeleteMost of Mat Sabu said in the video were gibberish aka garbage! His knowledge in Geography pun fail.
The presentation may be diffferent.The level of English beng spoken is totally far apart.But the policies ,the tone and the sentiment of our MinDef's speach is very consistent with what our PM said in Japan recently.This is what matters. A government that act in cohesion in very important issues.While many among the opposition and even some factions among govt supporters are all out to create and emphasize divisiveness among the ruling party, this surely is a good sign from PH.
ReplyDeleteSaya setuju.
Delete2. If kita truly honest dan hayati apa yang Our Menteri Pertahanan bawakan, he synchronise every single thing with apa yang our beloved Old Man insisted
KESIMPULAN:
dan jangan kita lupa, seorang Menteri Pertahanan mestilah 'simpan kuku' agar orang tak tahu Rahsia Ketenteraan kita. Jelas, He is our SECRET WEAPON!
Aduh... bengong sungguh hang nih.
Delete"Simpan kuku & Rahsia Ketenteraan" apa yang kita nak sorok dari pengetahuan orang.
Bila kita beli kereta-kebal, fighter-jet, kapalselam, torpedo/missile dari Negara-Kapir... hang ingat orang tak tahu ka?
Topography lautan & daratan kita pun... semuanya dengan mudah diketahui 'musuh'.
Kita beli F5-E dari Amerika dulu... nak tembak-missile pun tak boleh, kerana Amerika tak beri/jual 'source-code' pada kita.
Lainlah jika kita mampu reka-cipta & bina jet-fighter, kapal-selam sendiri atau cipta-peralatan-perang sendiri, baru la kita boleh 'simpan kuku atau rahsia ketenteraan'.
Kapal Peronda kita pun, Jepun yang bagi free beberapa biji... itu pun kerana kapal itu masih boleh diguna. Lebih baik mereka 'derma' pada Malaysia dari jadikan besi-buruk atau tukun.
Oleh yang demikian, betul la apa yang Dr.M kata... "Malaysia is an open book"... semua orang tahu keupayaan kita.
Yang hanya boleh buat musuh kecut-telor pada kita adalah semangat patriotic dan sifat sanggup-mati Rakyatnya, demi mempertahankan Bangsa, Agama & Negara... jika diserang.
mung lagi lah bengong RD wei.
Delete2. Paham betul betul apa yang orang lain tulis
3. Mung Jange dok raso mung jah hok betul!
KESIMPULAN:
HORMAT SIKIT KAT ORANG LAIN
dok rok cetong mu
"And it doesn't seem to be getting any better any time soon".
ReplyDeleteYour closing sentence will not cause any effect to PH rule or the next election even if it is true.
As we have all seen, over the past 60 years, UMNO-BN managed to remain as government, not because they are that good, but more because there never had been a good and creditable opposition.
So to all UMNO-BN supporters,paid and unpaid bloggers, your nit picking on everything that is wrong with PH govt and leaders will only be abortive.
All of you should rally behind Tok Mat and Khaled Nordin on their move to exclude all the past and present leaders who are being charged for offences.The success of this move will see UMNO-BN having the capability to reinvigorate and revive itself to its past glory.
Let YB menteri deliver his speach in Bahasa. Do we condemned the Chinese,German,French,Japanese etc for speaking in thier languages. NOPE.
ReplyDeleteSo Yb menteri cakap dlm bahasa. Orang lain tak faham that is thier problem. Yg komen itu dah tak ada modal. Ada PHD...Perasaan Hasat dengki.
Anon 06:34, sikit pun x dengki, malu je sebab dah la bahasa berterabur, isi pun kosong.
DeleteMalu sebab suatu masa dulu rakyat msia terkenal dgn penguasaan BI yg baik; malu sebab tahap BI menteri tahap BI budak sekolah luar bandar; malu sebab menteri2 kjaan harapan pilihan rata2 bodoh sombong, dah la tak tahu, malas pulak nak belajar, malu sebab dulu pernah kutuk ahmad maslan, ni 10x ganda lagi teruk, ...
Saya amat setuju
Delete2.Peduli apa kita orang yang tak faham; ITULAH TUGAS PENTERJEMAH!
KESIMPULAN:
Sudah sampai masanya Kita BERGERAK KE HADAPAN dengan ACUAN MALAYSIA! Kita akan lebih DiSEGANI... trust and belive it!
Even if he spoke in BM and it was translated, his content is unfathomable! WTH with father mother comment. His Press Secretary tried to do damage repair as if it was coded counter terrorism jargon but anyone in military can tell you that's ridiculous.
ReplyDelete' the Chinese coast guard is bigger than our navy '
ReplyDeleteAs reported by The Boneo Posts in 2015
Presence of Chinese coast guard ship at Lusonia Shoals spooks fishermen
A spoke man from the PM's office issued a statement requesting them to make a police report so that action can be taken
Abang Mat is pin pointing on this incursion
There were no action from our forces or no police report made
No show of force or protest from the then administration
Fadzireen
So what is Malaysia current defence policy now?
ReplyDeleteRoll over and become a vassal state for China?
No soldiers commenting about this? You all okay with it?
Why do we need to pay money for you soldiers and your equipment then?
Come to think of it, didn't Malaysia buy or plan to buy some new expensive weapons recently? Why waste all these billions then?
RAHSIA KETENTERAAN bukanlah sembarangan kita kena dedahkan pada Public
DeleteKESIMPULAN:
Seorang MENTERI PERTAHANAN mesti Kelihatan Badut agar MUSUH DALAM SELIMUT tak boleh nak Predict our ACCURATE STEPS!
P/s: That's the Point, Malaysians! Wake up PLZ!
Aisay Annie...Mat Sabu is speaking Inggerand. The product of our national schools (low class and no class)Lets look at the content...he is being brutally honest! Yes we are no match against the Chinese - that is a fact! So why are we being so critical of the minister?
ReplyDeleteMemalukan Msia. I dont blane Sabu but the man who appointed him. Crazy !
ReplyDeleteTakper, setidak-tidaknya di era si menteri lurus bendul ini ….
Delete– tak ada beli kapal selam tak boleh selam,
– tak ada beli jet2 pejuang tak ada enjin, alat ganti.
– tak ada beli kereta perisai tak kunjung-kunjung tiba,
– tak ada pencerobohan masuk ke wilayah negara dgn begitu enteng seolah-olah sistem pertahanan kita begitu rapuh & bacul macam yg berlaku di Sabah ketika pentadbiran najib.
– tak ada helikopter menjunam menyembah bumi membunuh seorang menteri BN & almarhum JJ, penasihat Najib.
Menteri2 PH yg ada kebanyakan berlesen ‘L’ tak ada pengalaman masih boleh diadjust, asal jgn korup dan songlap duit negara - itu yg teramat oenting....!!
Saya sangat SETUJU saudara Othman
DeleteOthman Ahmad,
DeleteOh please lah! Baca your comment as if reading a comment from a non-Malay. Do you know why? If you were to read their comments in FMT, the Star and what not, most of them wrote "Mat Sabu is such an honest person, he doesn't lie and he is not a thief past MoF from UMNO". Your otak pun dah jadi macam otak DAPigs, tak habis2 dengan tuduhan ketuaaan dulu korup dan songlap duit negara! Nak tanya sikit, Mahathir, Daim, RafidahAziz, Mat Sabu, Kit Siang, Guan Eng, Muhyiddin dan PH menteri dan politicians yang lain tak korap dan tak songlap duit negara ke? Kesalahan Najib terbesar adalah kerana beliau terlalu lembut dan tak ambil tindakan undang2 terhadap mereka2 ini. Beliau patut mengarah pihak polis menggelidah rumah2 menyangak2 ini sepertimana yang telah diperlakukan kepada beliau oleh Mahathir. Dia juga perlu investigate the money trail how Daim can afford to open 50 banks overseas, how Mahathir's sons have become so very rich. Next time, whoever becomes the PM,one of the things he should do is to tangkap all the real penyangak termasuk the Mahathief if he is still alive!
Sudah la Anon 00:38.
DeleteSemua kes korupsi yang Saudara Othaman Ahmad tulis telah diketahui umum kerana tersiar dalam media tempatan, malah ada yang dilaporkan luar-Negara.
Scandal beli Kapal-Selam sudah berlarutan lebih 15 tahun, sehingga hari pun masih belum selesai. Sampai melarat ke pembunuhan Altantuya, nama PDRM tercemar, seorang sedang menanti hukuman-mati, seorang lagi lari ke Ostolia dan sekarang ini, melarat ke persoalan... siapa arah bunuh wanita Mongolia itu.
Maklumlah, Mahkamah jatuh hukuman-mati, tanpa mengetahui motif Altantuya dibunuh.
Manakala kes-kes yang kamu sebut, semuanya merupakan khabar-angin atau gosip saja. Satu pun belum pernah dibuka kertas-siasatan.
Tribunal Kes Forex yang diadakan oleh rejim-Najib pun tak dapat menyabitkan kesalahan terhadap sesiapa.
Untuk pengetahuan kamu, Dr.M tidak pernah guna orang-tengah kelabu-asap, hujung-hilang, pangkal-lesap... seperti Razak Baginda, Deepak carpet & Jho Low... dalam urusan Kerajaan.
Anon 00:38 bengkek nampak. Omputeh cakap apa eh. Butthurt ek.. isshh macam lucah gitu...hihihihi..
DeleteTahniah to so many here who felt that they are much smarter than Mat Sabu. With so many smart Malaysians, I wonder why we are still a 3rd world country?
ReplyDeleteEasy...coz we keep on electing goons as our leaders. Somehow smart ppl, with the exception of Tun M, cannot seem to climb the political ladder.
DeleteIni le msia baru. Tak tahu menari kata lantai jongkang jongket. Tak menepati piawaian tak apa, kita turunkan penanda aras. Acuan sendiri konon, syok sendiri ada le, jaguh kpg ada hati nak jadi rimau asia. Manusia munafik semua.
ReplyDelete"Manusia munafik semua". Is that including you? Be careful with your words. Penanda aras tidak pernah berubah iaitu Menepati Kehendak Rakyat. Buat masa ini rakyat hendak kerajaan tidak menerima rasuah dan menyalah gunakan kuasa.
