MAHATHIR THE “ BILLIONAIRE BUSINESSMAN ? ”

Image
In recent days Raja Petra and Datuk Seri Najib have been posting some interesting articles on their social media platforms. https://www.malaysia-today.net/2020/07/05/dr-mahathirs-rm200-billion-business-empire-before-1mdb/   &   https://www.facebook.com/157851205951/posts/10157183319445952/   These articles are about the most successful businessman ever to live in Malaysia but many Malaysians still don’t know much of this business empire, while some were not even born yet at that era. Before we analyse the details of this man’s business empire let’s quickly fast forward to the recent Pakatan Harapan’s 22-month reign of incompetence after the GE14. During this period we saw the emergence of former New Straits Times editor A KADIR JASIN - who often would chime in as his capacity as the Media Advisor for the coalition. Long before he became a media advisor, Kadir Jasin has been a proxy for the most hard-working billionaire businessman of Malaysia. As...

AGAIN AND AGAIN: LET THIS END WITH MAHATHIR

Image
As more talk about the potential return of a Mahathir-led government, this will go well for all who wish for a return of the elected government that came into fruition on 9 May 2018. But before that happens, we have to be aware of the dangers that another Mahathir-led government would mean for everyday Malaysians – more worryingly another round of crony capitalism for the “ elite few”.   This of course is not new. Mahathir ’ s first tenure as Prime Minister was characterised by “ bumiputera capitalism ” - the brutal genesis which culminated into the whole monster that was called 1MDB. Through himself, Daim Zainuddin and his protege Anwar Ibrahim, prior to Anwar’s downfall in September 1998 – massive swathes of public assets were privatized including multi-billion projects such as the North-South Highway, water and sewerage, the Bakun dam, Light Rail Transit System and the National Train Service (KTM).   Looking back, these “ wealth creation” only bene...

EVEN MUKHRIZ SOLD “KEDAH LAND” TO CHINA

Image
Today, the Pakatan Harapan coalition faces many challenges including its collapse in Kedah. Some of their supporters on social media are saying that the PH government of KEDAH lead by Mukhriz Mahathir is worth saving. Based on Mukhriz Mahathir’s track record as MB of Kedah, the only thing worth anything is his continued sale of Kedah to China business interests. In this photo, the project signing including the sale of 320 hectares of land to this CHINA company was finalised. In the past 22 months, Kedah has seen the Mahathir clan trying to sign up as various business deals in Kedah as possible, including the planned airport in Kulim, the industrial parks and even durian plantations designed to displace indigenous inhabitants.   Many direct negotiation contracts were also dished out. This will now be revealed one by one. While campaigning for GE14, Mahathir and his Pakatan Harapan allies accused the previous government of dishing our large contracts to China b...

Syed Saddiq incident - 8 new people to be arrested

Image
It seems that for one certain party in Pakatan’s coalition, they are above recourse. Underperforming ministers? Blame the “deep state”. Election failures? Blame the coalition for not helping enough. What about building a new vision for the Malays? Just blame DAP. In the case of Syed Saddiq, he blames everyone but himself. It was recently reported that there were 4 individuals arrested for organizing the black shirt rally against Syed Saddiq earlier this month in Johor. According to some police sources, an additional 8 are set to be arrested or being prepared to be arrested. The highly public Johor incident incident was massively condemned by the PH leadership, with statements made by all circles within the coalition including one from the Prime Ministers Office. Interestingly, these same leaders tried to distance themselves when some elements in PKR held similar protests in front of the PKR Headquarters recently. Where was the scrutiny there? Part...

ANJING-ANJING KOTOR PELIHARAAN ORANG TUA

Image
Siapa yang tidak kenal Tamrin Tun Ghafar Baba……kambing hitam yang sekarang membenarkan puak-puak media Tun Mahathir dibawa kendalian Kadir Jasin menggunakan namanya untuk menerbitkan tulisan-tulisan yang menghasut rakyat. Baru-baru ini Kadir Jasin kerap menggunakan akaun Facebook milik Tamrin untuk mengeluarkan artikel-artikel menghina Raja-Raja dan menentang sesiapa yang menjadi ancaman terhadap persepsi rakyat terhadap kerajaan sekarang. Tetapi perkara in telah pun diketahui umum selepas seorang blogger telah mengbongkarkan aktitiviti-aktiviti kotor Kadir Jasin kepada kawan-kawannya kerana ingin menunjukkan pangaruh dan ego beliau. Perkara in telah pun ditularkan melalui media social dan kini ramai yang mengetahui mengapa PM kita menyimpan Kadir Jasin sebagai penasihat media beliau. Kadir Jasin yang begitu lantang mengkritik pelbagai pihak sudah lupa bahawa pada satu masa dulu pemimpin tua berlidah cabang yang dia sedang berkhidmat dengan merupakan seorang diktator yang m...

A bankrupt in Tun M’s inner circle

Image
Besides the famous Tuns, one of Tun’s muscle is Khairuddin Abu Hassan. As a Tun M’s staunch loyalist, he was the one who lodged police report against Najib before the 14 th General Election. In retaliation, the former UMNO Batu Kawan Vice Chief later was sacked from the post for being a bankrupt. Apparently, Khairuddin was declared bankrupt by the court in May 2014. The rule that a bankrupt cannot hold positions in organisation is iterated in Section 9A(1)(d) of the Societies Act 1966.  Not only he played an important role during the 1MDB scandal, he was also pivotal during the 1998 political crisis between Tun Mahathir and Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He was the publisher of ’50 Dalil kenapa Anwar tidak boleh jadi PM’, a widely distributed book to discredit Anwar’s image and integrity amongst UMNO members. Khairuddin may be an effective hit man to carry out Tun M’s dirty job, but one cannot help but to question his credibility as a person who are in the inner...

TAMRIN TUN GHAFAR: SESUMPAH (‘CHAMELEON’) YANG TIDAK MEMBERI MANFAAT

Image
Tamrin Tun Ghafar adalah anak kepada Tun Ghafar Baba, iaitu bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia yang ke-6. Di kalangan ahli UMNO, Allahyarham Tun Ghafar Baba adalah seorang pemimpin yang dihormati kerana kesetiaan dan jasanya kepada perjuangan UMNO. Namun anaknya langsung tidak mempunyai sikap sebegitu, malah semakin biadap dan kurang ajar sejak kebelakangan ini. Tamrin Tun Ghafar dikenali sebagai seorang bekas pemimpin UMNO yang sering berubah rupa dan parti. Berubah rupa di sini bermaksud dia sering menukar sokongan. Hari ini dia sokong A, esok dia akan kutuk A. Semalam dia kutuk B, hari ini dia puji B melambung tinggi. Inilah ciri-ciri sesumpah yang hanya fikir tentang dirinya sendiri saja.  Bergantung kepada keadaan, sokongannya akan bertukar kepada yang ada kuasa atau memberi manfaat untuk dirinya sendiri. Sebagai contoh, selepas membuat kacau dalam UMNO dan berbagai skandal sebagai Pengerusi MARA, Tamrin melompat ke parti PAS. Ketika ini, dia juga banyak...
