Good news on the living, Fatihah for the leaving

Datin Hasmah comforting Dato Sujak when he was flown back

Some good news to share and sad announcement to make.

On July 17, this blog wrote of our visit of retired Air Force Jeneral Dato Sujak Abok who was air flown back to Malaysia by the effort of the Air Force and Dato Azeez Raheem and his Kelab Putera 1Malaysia. [Read here.]

Received an SMS from Perkasa President, Dato Ibrahim Ali on his progress. It reads:

Pakatan's lies, lies and lies on 1MDB

The liar and his lies on 1MDB

In their budget, Pakatan Rakyat planned for Khazanah Nasional to dissolve and takeover 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

This is their reaction when all it's lies about the government company have been rebutted and turned out as untrue.

To the receptive rakyat, they realised that the only thing consistent about Pakatan's relentless attacks on 1MDB is the inconsistency in their accusations and the blatant lie they tell.

And in each lie they expose themselves as liars.

It is pointless to listen and take the words of liars seriously.

Nevertheless, there is a need to explain and expose their lies so that the rakyat and nation will realise they have ulterior motive and not become victim . 

Nurul turn-on over a meaningless budget?

Without breakfast this morning, this blogger went for an early lunch. While eating and flipping through the Sinar Harian at our neighbourhood warong, we were taken a back by PR's shadow budget announced yesterday.

Not because none in the picture understand economics and public finance.Yes, none....

Let's save Dato Mahfuz Omar any embarassment. Salahuddin Ayub is only an Anthropology graduate. Lim Kit Siang only knows law, politics and politicking. That rules out these three. .

Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim may have been a former Finance Minister, but he only knows how to talk. This student of Malay Studies had Tun Dr Mahathir and Tun Daim assisting in the shadow.

And there is Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim ....

.... who as Menteri besar should be the last to know about budget because narrow minded corporate businessman do not understand public finance and rakyat needs. Furthermore, he messed up Selangor's financial affair. 

Sinar Harian quoted Nurul Izzah described the budget as "memberansangkan" or a turn-on. Perhaps it turned-on the daughter of an adopted Korean because union-leader Syed Sharir claimed it is good for rakyat.

Is Pak Lah still calling the shots, Tony?

Looking satisfied after another of his back stabbing 

We were alerted by blogger Penarik Beca [read here] of Tony's remark made as reported by The Malaysian Insider's yesterday, Leaving Jakarta for an unavoidable sacrifice, says Fernandez.

Penarik Beca highlighted the following remark:

The billionaire music executive-turned-airline-tycoon said that the only way his successor Aireen Omar would be able to grow was by giving her space to come into her own without the risk of having his presence dominating the business. 

“And I don’t want to be like some senior politicians who insist on calling the shots long after they’ve handed over the reins,” he said.

He also highlighted the following:

“We have put Malaysia on the world map and we are investing in its future,” said Fernandes. “So how can these right-wing bloggers say that I’ve abandoned Malaysia? What have they done for the country?”

Wakakaka ... sure you've "put Malaysia on the world map" and "investing in its future". Firstly, you did it after stealing from it. With the stolen money, you only say you are investing in its future. But why leave for Indonesia.

Thank for the tip-off Tony because we didn't know Pak Lah is still calling the shots. That way we will still be on the look-out.

Do they celebrate Raya in Rohingya?

Kelab Putera Malaysia President, Dato Azeez Raheem had wanted to celebrate Hari Raya with the Rohingyas.

Through out Ramadhan, he has been gathering donors for aids to the Rohingyas and should have gone to Arakians in early Syawal. Bloggers have been getting one after another of SMSes informing his press conferences and launches.

He couldn't do exactly as he did last year in Somali. And he lost the opportunity to highlight the plight of the Rohingyas. His loads were already on board the Navy ship but the expected clearance from Myanmar or Bangla Desh official was not forthcoming.

While Malaysian are stuffing themselves over long string of a new tradition that seemed to be willingly embraced by the corporate sector called Hari Raya open houses, Azeez delay was the subject of gossip for keeping the Navy ship out of operations.

SUARAM, and USAid expulsion from Russia

SUARAM is whining everyday ever since they are faced with a barrage of investigations.

Today, The Malaysian Insides reported Penang Deputy CM II, P Ramakrishnan claim SUARAM is being hounded and harrassed for exposing corruption [read here]. Hello! It is only alleged corruption. Did they expose any corruption?

SUARAM's initial reaction to the various demands for investigations was to garner sympathy and support. They claimed they are being harrassed, authorities are reacting to the mob and finally they try a counter offense to express willingness to be scrutinised but insist a probe on Scorpene purchase.

What Malaysian should be concerned is the fact that SUARAM took money from organisation like George Soros's Open Society in which this is the man that was out to wreck our economy in 1997/98 through his currency speculation.

There is money that emanate from National Endowment for Democrasy (NED), a once CIA covert operation that is out in the open today. NED also operate through their two wings; International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI) in Malaysia.

Air Force pulled one over the Navy

Never meant to insult the Navy or the Navy Chief, but just stating a point for what it is. If there had been any mistake, maybe it is not entirely theirs. It is just learning process.

Must say since Air Force gave bloggers the opportunity to visit the Kuantan base few weeks back, bloggers have grown a soft spot for the Air Force. [Read NPC blog award winner, Dave Avran here.]

Not that the Navy had not been helpful, they were helpful.
