Dear all,
Just sharing a comment I posted at Tun Mahathir Blog.
Wishing all our Muslim Brothers and Sisters, “Selamat Hari Raya Haji” and for all, a Happy Holiday.

Dear PM Tun Dr. Mahathir,
On July 29, Azmin thanked PAS and Umno for ignoring their differences with Mahathir in urging the prime minister to stay on until the end of the term.
Kadir said the stand by Umno and PAS should not be seen as a statement in support of Mahathir. “For the Umno-PAS combination, breaking up PH is a key objective,” he said.
He added that there are more pressing matters to attend to than discussing something which has already been agreed on.
“Mahathir has said repeatedly that a Cabinet reshuffle is not on the cards and that he will keep his promise of transferring power to Anwar,” he said.
Veteran newsman A Kadir Jasin has my utmost respect as he speak his mind without fear and favor and at time to his own detrimental, this is what a true adviser/friend for. Beware with those who praise you with their hidden agenda. “ada udang di balik batu”
Bangsa yang berjiwa kental, bersemangat besi
Diserang oleh nafsu dan perasaan tamak
Aku dapat apa dari kemerdekaan tanya mereka?
Mana bahagian aku?
Dan semangat pun menjadi luntur, tidak terdaya mengawal nafsu
Apa makna senang jika untuk mendapat sesuatu begitu susah
Dan nafsu dan perasaan tamak pun di peralat dan disogok oleh orang-orang politik dan orang kaya
Politik yang menyelamat
Menjadi politik yang menghancur
Pemimpin semakin tamak
Untuk tempat dan kedudukan tinggi
Perbuatan yang haram dihalalkan
Nama Allah diperalatkan, dijual untuk nikmat yang sementara di dunia
Ya Allah lindungilah bangsaku
Sedarkanlah mereka
Sedarkan mereka bahawa Engkau tidak akan mengubah nasib bangsa
Melainkan bangsa itu sendiri cuba mengubahnya
Mengubah sendiri, membendung nafsu

Tun, betulkah Melayu malas? Tajuddin Rasdi - January 4, 2019 7:00 AM
Saya tidak pernah lihat Melayu malas. Yang saya lihat Melayu perasuah, ramai. Yang saya lihat Melayu pagar makan padi, berlambak. Yang saya lihat pemimpin Melayu melaungkan ketuanan Melayu dan keagungan Islam, tetapi merompak khazanah negara yang boleh diagihkan kepada anak-anak Melayu, Cina, Kadazan, Orang Asli miskin, yang ini memang banyak dalam satu parti…tak salah saya, parti Tun sendiri suatu ketika dahulu!
Saya boleh bersetuju dengan Tun bahawa Melayu malas berfikir. Buat apa fikir pasal agama, ustaz kan ada, ustazah pun ada, dengar ceramah sajalah. Buat apa fikir Islam dan modenisasi, kenapa rajin pergi surau, selalu pergi umrah, kerap pergi haji, bersih putih masuk syurgalah Melayu semua.
Melayu malas berfikir tentang pelaburan jangka jauh, ini saya setuju dengan Tun. Memang Tun kata benar, kalau Melayu dapat duit banyak, tengok saja keretanya, barang kemas baju wanitanya, “shopping”, “travel” pun cukup hebat. Pelaburan pendidikan tak buat. Sebab? Tak apalah, ada Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) dan Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM).
Sekarang, kita tengok kenapa Melayu tak boleh maju? Tun kata banyak program dilaksanakan, Felda, Felcra, Mara, Lembaga Padi dan Beras Negara (LPN) serta banyak lagi, tetapi siapa yang kaya-raya? Pemimpin Umno dan kakitangan kerajaan yang mengurus.
Pekebun tak kaya pun, yang teruk mengait buah kelapa sawit tak kaya pun. Peladang padi lebih kurang macam dulu juga.
Tun, sebenarnya kegagalan sistem politik dan pentadbiran Melayu yang bersekongkol membiarkan rasuah dan salah guna kuasa berleluasa.
Melayu tak malas. Pelajar Melayu tak malas, petani Melayu tak malas, guru Melayu tak malas, peniaga Melayu tak malas dan pensyarah Melayu pun tak malas. Kelemahan mereka adalah fikiran di bawah tempurung, tidak kritis, tidak luas dan tidak berfikir di luar kotak. Itu memang betul.
Tetapi, yang merosakkan peluang-peluang bagi orang Melayu berfikir, berpotensi dan berinspirasi adalah pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu Umno, PAS dan mungkin selepas ini, PPBM.
Yang mengkayakan diri dan seperti pagar makan padi adalah kakitangan kerajaan yang kebanyakannya Melayu. Ini sebenarnya penyakit orang Melayu. Tak payah buat kajian PhD, sudah terang-terang di depan mata kita.
Tetapi, orang Melayu masih terkongkong dengan penjilat, pembohong dan pemimpin politik, agama serta kerajaan Melayu yang asyik mendendangkan Melayu terancam oleh orang bukan Melayu dan Melayu masih tidak cukup kuasa ekonomi. Itu masalah sebenar Tun
Bukan orang Melayu malas Tun, tetapi sikap dan pemikiran sempit. Orang Melayu kalau nak berjaya senang saja, buang pemimpin Umno, PPBM (terutamanya Tan Sri Abdul Rashid Abdul Rahman) dan PAS yang mengongkong pemikiran dan sikap terhadap masalah sebenar orang Melayu.
Bila kepimpinan Melayu buat salah, cendekiawan Melayu di universiti diam membisu, dapat jadi naib canselor, naik pangkat profesor. Bila kepimpinan Melayu rasuah, orang agama tidak sentuh pun dalam khutbah Jumaat.
Melayu tak malas Tun, yang salah ialah kepimpinan Melayu seperti pepatah Melayu, harapkan pagar, tetapi pagar pula yang membaham padi. Bukan sedikit yang dibahamnya, tetapi banyak!
Tun, Tajuddin Rasdi seorang profesor di UCSI had said what needed to be said on the root cause of the many ills befalling Malaysia. It is now up to the good doctor Tun to prescribe the bitter medicine to cure the many ills of Malaysia. Quote, “Kita perlu telan ubat pahit untuk membaiki diri kita. Tetapi, kita perlu beli ubat daripada profesional, bukan daripada P Ramlee atau AR Tompel dalam filem klasik Melayu. Unquote”
Thank you
Yours truly,
SS LEE
THE SKY IS EMPTY (FLAG FREE)
Last year, about three months after that fateful date May 9, a day I now regard as accursed, I went out and bought a national flag for the first time in my life.
I then flew that flag on a tall pole fixed to my gate’s pillar, just like many of my neighbours. The flag flying high was a sight that touched me with various arousing emotions - elation, hope, pride - and at the glorious change heading our way.
The surprise today is not that these beliefs of optimism seem to have disappeared but the speed at which our prime minister achieved this collapse. After all of his pious preaching and promises, we never reckoned with what really lay beneath his visage of benevolence.
He led us away from Umno and in its place, he installed Bersatu. People like Syed Sadiq Syed Abdul Rahman don’t really matter as he is a little boy who believes he has grown up and matured just because he prowls with more seasoned and cunning politicians.
And this year? My flag lies forsaken and hidden somewhere in my storeroom. After all that Mahathir and Bersatu wreaked on us, I will not be flying that flag. The sky in my neighbourhood looks so empty.

The people should not leave it to their political masters to run the affairs of the nation. They must be prepared to engage with the government and together set the direction and destiny of the nation. Let governance be determined by the people. It is not for the government to dictate things to the people as before. (Wan Haron)

During the polio epidemic of the 1950s, ingenious engineers created the iron lungs and saved many lives, while skillful surgeons crafted nifty operations and salvaged countless paralysed limbs. Those advancements, though impressive, were what physician Lewis Thomas referred to as "halfway technology". True technology came when Salk and Sabin produced their vaccines. Halfway technology is not only expensive but also does not address the basic problems. Likewise with leadership; there is the true version and then there are the many halfway varieties. Halfway leadership too does not solve problems; in fact, it compounds them. It is also expensive both in terms of the direct damages inflicted as well as in the lost opportunities.(M Bakri Musa)

The Power Of Love
The leaders of Pakatan Harapan were driven by love prior to GE14.They used to love the rakyat, people of all races and colour, creeds and background, and they used to preach a more inclusive and harmonious Malaysia. Now that they’re in power, they are no longer driven by love. They are driven by fear. They fear to lose the power they have more than anything in the world. One only fears the things they don’t understand. It is apparent that Harapan no longer understands the rakyat.(Elvin K)

Education.....not spared
The educational quality of our national schools has greatly declined over the last three decades primarily due to the lack of competent teachers and effective school leaders. We are all paying the price for sacrificing quality for a narrow racist agenda and mediocrity. In the words of a close Malay friend of mine, "Singh, tak ada kualiti, tak apa. Janji orang kita yang jadi cikgu dan pengetua." (Ranjit Singh Malhi)

As if you just come in and reveal such wisdom...
Where are all those who had been educated for the last 40-50 years??
Right people, right knowledge, more effective.....did we not have them?? Why are we still languishing in this ICBC situation????
Politics! All under the umbrella, who "transformed" the country to the present State from many many years ago.
Anybody still remember "Vision 2020"? What were all written inside?
Where are we now?
What is next? "Vision 2050"? We cannot achieve the first vision, can we achieve the second?

all admininstrative offices
Also re-launch 'Belilah Barang Buatan Malaysia'......and lead by example........starting with cars- all statemen and ministries.....Perodua or Proton only
Coming up budget.......public funding for 'Malaysian First' only programs
.....instead of whatever race-based institutions, bodies or organizations(It's high time for these deep states to be self sustaining )

Why don’t Umno and PAS ask their followers not to work in non-Muslim companies? And seek employment strictly in Muslim factories, companies or organisations. That would surely reflect their seriousness. All other type of boycotts is meaningless.A responsible politician will strive for a united Malaysia. Those who are dividing the people are insincere towards the progress of the country and its people.(Abraham Samidas)

URGENT: MUST BAR WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN FROM ATTENDING OR OFFICIATING ANY SPORT EVENTS ( BEWARE: DANGER WHICH INNOCENT SPORTY KIDS ARE NOT AWARE OF)
While we enjoy watching gymnastic to ease our own mental stress from our vocational or professional work, there are certain kinds of people who are virtually wolves in sheep skin.
Ignobly and sinfully, they lustfully scheming the sport person's physical bodies, instead of seeing the sportmanship inside them.
No one can be certained of any amount of psychotherapy or cognitive behavioural can be of help to this like-minded group of people.
Conclusion, they must be barred from attending, watching or officiating any sport event. There is no two ways about this

Malaysia embraced unity during the time we cheered Mokhtar Dahari, Soh Chin Aun, Arumugam, Santok Singh, Shukor Salleh and many more hero’s of Malaysia. The Malaysia that we live in now is damaged by the previous gov indoctrination and mind slavery. First it was race that was used to sow mistrust and disunity among Malaysian and now religion is being used to further the failed race card game. The first victim was race and now its religion. The final victim in all this is the country

In order to cure illnesses, follow the modern healers' ethical principles:
1. Rakyats' autonomy
Do they collectively agree to? E.g. increasing loans and debt, extra expenditures on controversially divisive innitiatives, sticking to old policies and practices which have produced the illnesses at the first place
2. Nonmaleficence (Do no harm)
E.g. Regarding education, products have 'Malaysian third/ last' mentality as a result of sheer negligence, invisible treason and undetectable irresponsibility, As a consequence, they are readily divided, easily being manipulated and subconsciously dubbed into myopic ideas, philosophy and practices which are detrimental, immature or silly.
Adding more salt to this wound must be avoided- do no harm....if not doing any fixing to the root of problem.
3. Beneficence ( Act justly )
Start by fixing the root of every problem
4. Justice
This is the moral obligation to act on the basis of fair adjudication between competing claims. As such, it is linked to fairness and equality.
