It does not matter who wins or lose, both parties are already covered. You already relate they're plan with Anwar's ambition, which is plausible. and I can totally see why they help Anwar, in recent years he seems most likely to win.<br /><br />What also plausible is Najib's own ambition and 'push' from his own administration's EHM influence. Remember when he was first installed, his first idea is to build the Warisan Merdeka Mega tower. Since you have read that book, it is exactly mega project like this that the EHM initiated so the country can ultimately sprawl into debt (lessons from Ecuador, Indonesia etc). As that project is total failure thanks to rakyat's uprising, now they keep pushing and pushing the Selangor 'water crisis' and suggest another mega project to deal with it, with little to no discussion at all on various alternative solutions.<br /><br />Remember in the book it said, expansion is a trap in disguise, and I see both party is infected by EHM already. As long as our policy and economy abide the rules that US has established, we are forever they're pawn.Concerned Rakyatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-6831179354757752212011-06-07T17:08:24.615+08:002011-06-07T17:08:24.615+08:00i was looking for someone to actually debunk the b...i was looking for someone to actually debunk the buku jingga. i've just got one. reading through it, i can assure u that there are some twisted facts and empty promises. look at the free wifi promise. only after 3 years, penang started to wire up penang. that also not even the whole penang. and u expect within 100 days they can wire up the whole country? promise is one thing. delivering is another. <br /><br />but on the other hand, some of the buku jingga promises carry some weight. take IPP for example. now even the government is looking into cutting their subsidy. good to know that tv3 is taking up this issue. we as rakyat should have the best of both worlds. not the government. if it means making them obey our orders via voting, then be it. we rakyat are the masters. not the government.gerberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693250650627946358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-50887430718627432922011-06-05T16:43:54.506+08:002011-06-05T16:43:54.506+08:00Hmm..

I rest my case.<br /><br /><i>Pakatan doesn't. They simply promise. When they suddenly win Selangor, they cant deliver and got themselves into a financial mess. Hope uou are not in denial. </i><br /><br />Macha, again you are caught lying. Earlier was about me saying that there is no schools etc. <br /><br />This time, show me where in my post did I say they (Pakatan) can/will/shall deliver? BTW, where is the financial mess that Selangor has gotten into? I want numbers / data. I can prove to you for every ‘mess’ they got themselves into, BN gov has another 2. Shall we wager? (of cos this is a function of length of governance, lets be fair, you will never win this wager)<br /><br /><i>That is the different you do not wish to see because of your own political biasness. </i><br /><br />Are you talking about yourself? My assessment of Pakatan is simple. Just as incompetent as BN. But why do I (and many others) still sympathize with their ‘cause’?<br /><br />One word: competition. Without competition, governments become complacent. <br /><br />We must treat politicians as little kids. And these kids want toys (votes) from us. When they misbehave, it is essential we do not give them toys (votes). Only then they will be forced to do the right thing, and start competing for our votes. <br /><br />The danger is when kids KNOW that you WILL give them toys regardless of whether they behave or not. It gets to their heads. They become arrogant and complacent.<br /><br />To get your votes, kids will threaten you. They threaten to make a scene, to vomit to cry etc. When you blink, they secretly laugh behind your back cos they know theyve got votes inside their bags.<br /><br />Think about ketuanan Melayu, Islam as agama rasmi, May 13 etc. Yes, if you dont vote us in, this will happen again etc. An old dog cannot learn new tricks. <br /><br />If you want a government that spends a couple of hundred bucks on a screwdriver, and 3x retail price on Maggie mee, be my guest. It’s a free country. But the longer we ‘ignore’ misdemeanors as such, the more arrogant they become. Don’t complain about traffic jams, low salaries, substandard education, expensive cars etc. All these are a function of substandard policies. Policies created by a substandard government voted in by us.<br /><br />In a democracy, people get the government they deserve. Similarly, in religion. God will only help those who help themselves.maxthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148241095064110964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-91872035899244573922011-05-30T11:23:44.198+08:002011-05-30T11:23:44.198+08:00Maxthecat

No schools? No economic development?
My f...R2D2,<br /><br />No schools? No economic development? <br /><br />My friend, I never said those things. Put your emotions aside, the purpose of my earlier post was to say tht, before equating Buku Jingga = economic hitmen etc, we should look at what the gov is doing. Ie no different, except of cos, the rakyat is footing the bill for the gov's follies.<br /><br />Over the past 50 years, did the BN gov bring credible progress? Undeniably, I’d be the first to admit. In fact, looking across developing nations across 50 year period, we are one of the better ones. Thats a solid B. Its pretty decent. I am PROUD of that.<br /><br />Could we have done better? Definitely. Are we on the road towards doing better? Unfortunately not. Over the past 15 years, we have been sliding backwards. Our ‘peers’, are no longer peers. Think Taiwan, korea, Singapore etc. Those who were chasing us, are now at least on equal ground with us. Think Indonesia. <br /><br />You want to blame PAS / Kelantan for that also? Or you wanna play the we-should-bersyukur card? If ur happy that at least we’re not Sudan or Libya, and contented with mediocrity, be my guest. I say, lets do better, coz we all deserve better.<br /><br /><i>“I too have heard Anwar claim to be able to bring foreign investment by RM3 trillion.”</i><br /><br />Najib also claimed at one time he wont increase petrol price. A politician’s word to me is worth nothing. And that applies to politicians on both of sides of the divide. <br /><br />But his/her actions is worth everything. And what I see is that right now, Najib’s policies are setting the stage for the worst. And the reason is I may add, that these policies do not stem from a single objective of building a nation, it is mish mash of policies and reactions to pander to various groups, NGOs, lobbyists with the single aim of getting re-elected the next time round!<br /><br />I am not that naive to think that this doesnt happen everywhere. It does. Let's be real. But always, there is balance to be struck between nation building vs self interest. Sadly, in our case its all about the latter.<br /><br />What you need now is to differentiate between what is real and what is not. The ETP is a programme not a plan, gov spinmasters said so themselves. In fact, much of it is already underway. <br /><br />Buku jingga is not in a position to hurt/cost us. It is just words in a book. ETP isn't. Thts why I don’t give two hoots about that jingga. I view it as progressive form of politics which provides platform for ppl to debate issues n policies frm which the rakyat can judge and think for themselves. <br /><br />It certainly is better than showing hidden videos and draggin mattresses in and out of courts, don’t u think?<br /><br />Rakyat who love this country will focus on things that really matter. Think of the bigger picture.maxthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148241095064110964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-25150865905619510132011-05-28T22:36:50.695+08:002011-05-28T22:36:50.695+08:00if this buku jingga is so good why anwar never int...if this buku jingga is so good why anwar never introduced it when he was a dpm and finance minister before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-43426218422179216522011-05-28T21:16:39.181+08:002011-05-28T21:16:39.181+08:00anwar was the chap who almost put Malaysia under t...anwar was the chap who almost put Malaysia under the control of IMF and world bank - to be indebted forever<br /><br />a talker but not a thinker - a million lies to his name <br /><br />in a nutshell - not to be trustedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-64878818387509358372011-05-28T21:13:03.892+08:002011-05-28T21:13:03.892+08:00maxthecat suffers from tunnel vision

You suffer from serious disease of bias...Maxthecat<br /><br />You suffer from serious disease of biasness and cynicism. <br /><br />Are you saying Malaysia went down the tube in the last 50 years?<br /><br />There was absolutely no growth, development, No increase in income. No schools. No physical and human development. No nation building. <br /><br />That is a blatant lie. <br /><br />I think you are the one suffering from biasness.<br /><br />Do be objective in your critic instead of being simplistic and resorting to lies in your conclusion. <br /><br />It was the Government of the last 50 years that brought progress. IT is credible to some and less for the Opposition inclined. <br /><br />I dont see that coming to Kelantan in the last 22 years except Tesco in Kota Baru if that is what is described as development by Pakatan. <br /> <br />Najib may have his problem with those economic hitman from Ethos, McKinsey, BCG, etc which this blogger is equally critical off. <br /><br />However, it does not make the Buku Jingga look better. <br /><br />Buku Jingga is so concise it its plan to bring the country to its knee with such populist policies with no sense of prudent and balance. <br /><br />I too have heard Anwar claim to be able to bring foreign investment by RM3 trillion.<br /><br />You should see the connectionR2D2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19741162.post-44122733738485677732011-05-28T12:16:27.909+08:002011-05-28T12:16:27.909+08:00"punk5terung

Check with them who is their biggest client in south east asia. I’ll save u the trouble. It’s the government of Malaysia. And all this happened under whose watch? Anwar? LKS? TGNA?<br /><br />3.Since you mentioned at Buku Jingga, who do u think drafted the ETP, EPP, NKEA, NKRA? Pemandu alone? Khazanah? Kakaka.. Don’t delude yourself. Refer to 2. above.<br /><br />4.Look at the recent water bond case. Socialising private debt. This has become a laughing stock. Bond holders would have sold out at MTM, losses have hit their books anyway. At worse, offer la 20% premium to MTM. But no, the gov decided to bail everyone out at a nice fat premium. Classic case of Greenspan Put. In this case, the gov blinked first. <br /><br />5.Their modus operandi is always always to get you hooked on debt first. Look at 4), recent example, tell me that that isn’t taking more debt? I can give many more examples, but you can find it easily on every day news, if u know where to see. Next will be bailing out the IPPs.<br /><br />6.You are barking up the wrong tree, my friend. Open your eyes, put aside your biasedness and see things for what they really are.
