Mahathir has created a monster out of the Filipino community in Sabah. It is none other than Mahathir who issued thousands of IC to the Filipinos and made them INSTANT CITIZENS merely to increase BN's vote bank. Today we have more than half a million Filipinos who could easy wage war against Malaysia. Further the people of SULU are hardened fighters who could face any kind of chalenges. Mahathir should be blamed for this deadly crisis.

...at times like this, UMNO still wants to play politics?


Quote:

LittleGiant: While our army and police personnel are being killed by the armed intruders in Sabah, the government is making a mockery of itself by politicising it and accusing Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim of supporting the intrusion.

The mainstream media, as usual, has no shame but simply join in the attack. And what is wrong in Tian Chua, PKR vice-president, alleging that this whole thing is Umno's "sandiwara"?

And who would not think so, since it is the Umno-led BN government that has dragged its feet on this issue, did not have the determination to deal firmly with the intruders and has now made a mess of itself with so many loss of lives.

Isn't it the Umno-initiated Project IC in Sabah, which obviously started the free flow of illegal immigrants into Sabah, including people with illegal and subversive intentions.

Many of these intruders could be holding Malaysian ICs and travelled to Sabah many times to do their "homework" before embarking on their current mission.

Is this the time for the government to use this extremely serious security breach and the resultant loss of lives to politicise the issue?

Stop lying, Mahathir — Othman Wahab
Feb 26, 2013

FEB 26 — Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad does protest too much. He says all this talk by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the opposition about him and nepotism is slander and that he is clean and his sons are self-made businessmen.

I can only imagine that mixing around with the likes of Datuk Ibrahim Ali has made the former prime minister believe that all Malaysians have the IQ of Ibrahim.

The simple reality is that we don’t need Anwar to tell us what we know about you. All we need to do is remember the crony capitalism which you promoted, bumped up IPP contracts for certain cronies, a sweetheart deal to take over the national airline by another crony (who incidentally had a string of legal suits against him by government entities miraculously settled because he knew too much about your dealings and promises to him), the bailout of Konsortium Perkapalan during the financial crisis by MISC.

Oh yes, we also remember your pathetic performance at the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Lingam video where you suddenly had amnesia. But thankfully the commissioners saw through your act and named you and your friends (Lingam and Vincent Tan) as parties who subverted the course of justice.

Mahathir, you have never declared your assets to Malaysians. We still don’t know how you bought that nice home in the Mines or why is it that the likes of Syed Mokhtar and others love lending their private jets to you or taking you on six-star holidays jaunts.

You say that your children are self-made businessmen. Can you let us know how Mokhzani became a businessman in the first place, the Tongkah deals, etc. And what about Mirzan (congrats on becoming a shareholder of San Miguel... burp). And what about young Mukhriz. By all accounts, he is not a smart chap but he does own a palatial home in Bukit Tunku.

Yes, why don’t you pen the rags-to-riches story of your boys. I don’t even mind if they are sold in the fiction section.

Anwar Ibrahim and the opposition are not guilty of slander: they are only guilty of telling Malaysians what fools we have been to believe your lies all these years.

The true story of Mahathir and his boys can only be unearthed after Malaysia has a change of a political system. How about it, Malaysians?

Najib breaks silence and trains guns on... Pakatan

Quote:

..what readers say...

Starr: Prime Minister Najib Razak is so quick to react to any rumours linking the opposition to the armed intrusion in Lahad Datu, now spreading over to Semporna and Kunak.

When the intruders began their standoff with the police in Kampung Tanduo, Najib kept mum for weeks.

But now, he wasted no time in ordering an investigation into the allegations that opposition leaders met with Nur Misuari of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) a few months ago.

This really shows what's his motivation is - killing off the opposition at the first opportunity. Just how much spin, allegations and smear campaigns against Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim have been debunked in the end?

Meeting with Nur Misuri is only a matter of conjecture, nothing more. Haven't the government ministers and officials met up with Nur Misuari in the past when brokering the peace treaty between MNLF and the Philippines government?

SMC77: Najib, if you had concrete evidence, you would have arrested Anwar and those involved from Pakatan Rakyat weeks ago.

If you have no evidence, please keep your mouth shut as the more you talk about the involvement of Pakatan, the more we suspect the whole issue was engineered by you.

MEDIA RELEASE
MARCH 4, 2013

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOW PRIORITISE ON GUARANTEEING OUR TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY AND SECURITY



Any leader of any country must defend his nation’s sovereignty and the security of his people.



Failing to do so is a grave betrayal of the people’s trust in its government. Therefore, Pakatan Rakyat urges the present national leadership to do that which is required of them, to defend our land and never to compromise the safety of each and every Malaysian, and the test of those principles is ongoing in and around Sabah’s Lahad Datu and Semporna with the escalating violence brought by armed foreigners.



In Lahad Datu two of members of our security forces have lost their lives, while the latest acts in Semporna have claimed six of our men in uniform. We express our sincere condolences to these men’s families and may God bless them for they have given the highest sacrifice for a grateful nation.



Pakatan Rakyat calls on all Malaysians to show unreserved support to our security forces, both the police and military. And pray that they remain safe while defending our nation and its people from harm.


Pakatan realises the recent incidents in Sabah raise concern and fear, but we urge the public to remain calm and not to act rashly and hurt their fellow countrymen.



The coalition takes this opportunity to restate its confidence in the capacity and capability of our security forces to protect our country’s sovereignty.



We are disappointed with the weak leadership show by the federal government whose responsibility is to keep Malaysia’s security intact.


While we are convinced that national security transcends political divides and all citizens must support the security forces’ efforts, it does not abrogate the federal leadership for its lax treatment of the whole affair.

This leadership has failed to pass accurate information quickly so that the public is aware of what is happening, an error which has caused rumour-mongering to be rife.


We understand that the government is investigating the leader of opposition to over the armed intrusions in Sabah. We would like to state categorically that Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim is in no way involved with the escalation of violence in Sabah nor the cause of it.

The Sabah intrusion is now into its fourth week (Day 23) — fourth day of hostilities — and the federal leadership appears not to have a clear plan to overcome the violation of our sovereign territory, or to stop any further intrusions. Instead Putrajaya is irresponsibly trying to avert the eyes of the people from its own role.



It is time the federal government realises its jobs is to defend and protect Malaysia, its people and the warriors on the frontline.



Pakatan urges for an immediate meeting between the leadership of our coalition and the prime minister, home minister and defence minister, followed by a special sitting of Parliament to discuss the intrusion.



We strongly demand Putrajaya stops finger-pointing at others especially Pakatan Rakyat and never to betray the trust of the Malaysian people.

kcloh, his write-up is rather general, some kopitiam views:

- what is poor and how poor is poor? there is no baseline here but for sure; wages is not the primary cause of poor in m'sia

- "...some 3.2 million workers, mostly in SMEs, earn less than RM700 a month. These people must be helped."

3.2m workers incl f.worker or l.worker? urban or rural area? not clearly define but very important for justification

- rest of points talking about productivity, competitive, moving up the value chain, more training, use automation tools bla bla bla ... all r sound ... but hey, sound is not enough yeah. consider our national o&g firm, best tools, best training, best pay ... everything best - why it still need PSC contract with shell, exxon etc etc? after these many years can v drill by ourselves juz like them?

business come first b4 any bs, business so-so how to fund expensive equipment, tools, training, human resource? many looks good fr outside but internally carries heavy debts, tight cash flow, in-stable orders etc.

so is minimum wage bad? kopitiam said not if:

- don't take short cut, minimum wage should be further break down to area - sector - job grade - worker. example, same cup of milo but price will be different among urban and rural, how can both bear the same wage as their cost structure is not the same? another one is plantation (virtually little to no noise) and furniture (make most noise), why? cost structure & margin r different.

- remove non-sense tax on equipment and tools if really what sme to invest in modern system

- remove non-sense stamp duty, macam-macam lesen here and there, more transparency on sme loan app

- corruption. lots of $ wasted, the si-lembu an example no need to repeat here, but consider if the $ could have been used for production.

many more realistic views r around, easy for idi-jala to say yeah, pls go and WORK in sme for 6 months first. seriously, he is out in terms of ground reality given what he wrote - too general, too theory. as usual, these r ppl sitting in the aircon room but try to talk about difficulty in the real world.

Technically, he is voicing also what the Americans are saying in Roosevelt's New Deal as America is coming out of the Great Depression. They too had to deal with many migrant workers coming from all over Europe and Latin America. Its true, we cannot hark back to good ol' days where nasi lemak is 20 or 30 sens sebungkus! That is reality. The migrant workers also have the right to survive (if Malaysian still doesn't want to work on certain segments of the industries) other than providing a common platform for our nation aimed at achieving a high income status to compare with other wealthy nations!

If you want a simpler take, check what subramaniam, our HR minister, has to say! Minimum wage can be used as a weapon to rid these foreigners too! :)

At the end, the Govt still has to come out with a figure across the board, because your need to be talking in a single numeric amount among nations! Is rm900 practical? Maybe, maybe not! The only interesting thing here is they tweaked the amount to rm800 in East Malaysia because of market reality there but note Mama said it will have to be even out eventually! malaysia's official minimum wage policy will be 900 according to our economic climate at the moment!

PR 's is also a lump sum of RM 1100 and if it is applicable to east Malaysia or not? So we have to find out the whys or why nots!
