Kerana pulut santan bobrok,
Kerana gomen ringgit merosot.
Sayangkan kera di hutan,
Anak kera susu diberikan,
Tepikan anak di buaian,
Kepapaan hidup berlanjutan
What could be more disheartening than a country's leader who places the welfare of their people on the backburner?
In an unfortunate twist of fate, over RM100 million of hard-earned taxpayers' money is set to vanish in the blink of an eye. This disheartening revelation unfolds amidst a backdrop of overwhelming foreign debt, a seemingly ill-timed reduction in post-pandemic subsidies, a dwindling budget for crucial components of healthcare, including hospitals, doctors, medications, and overall public health.
Just last week, we witnessed over RM1 million slipping away from the coffers of Selangor, and the alarming truth is that more may follow. It's a stark reminder that donations should unequivocally originate from the pockets of individual politicians themselves. Public funds, a precious resource, should be handled with the utmost care and directed prudently to serve the best interests of the citizens who entrust their well-being to their leaders.
The citizens placed their faith in the government, entrusting them with the solemn duty of safeguarding their well-being. It's a trust that should never be betrayed, and yet, recent events have left a bitter taste in the mouths of the populace. The government's utterances on international conflicts have, instead of promoting peace and stability, taken a perilous path.
In a perplexing turn of events, they've chosen not the high road of diplomacy and impartiality but rather the divisive path of taking sides, advocating retribution, and aligning themselves with positions that carry the weight of detrimental repercussions. This departure from the principles of diplomacy and impartiality has stirred concern and discontent among the citizens.
The essence of responsible governance lies in the ability to navigate international conflicts with a measured and balanced approach. Citizens look to their leaders to be the voice of reason, advocating for peace and cooperation on the global stage. Instead, they are met with statements that threaten to fan the flames of discord and lead to outcomes that could potentially harm the nation's interests.
In this climate of uncertainty and turmoil, it's more crucial than ever for leaders to uphold the values of diplomacy, neutrality, and the greater good. A government's primary allegiance should always be to its citizens, working tirelessly to protect their interests and foster an environment of stability and prosperity. Anything less risks not only betraying the people's trust but also jeopardizing the nation's place on the world stage.
The clamor of endless demonstrations has grown wearisome. Our nation's economy is teetering on the precipice, with food prices skyrocketing, wages stagnating, and the Ringgit's value plummeting in the face of a resurgent US dollar. As if that weren't enough, our exports, the lifeblood of our nation, are dwindling before our eyes. It's a dire situation that some fear might lead us down a path reminiscent of the strife in the Gaza Strip.
It's high time for our Prime Minister to put the interests of our nation first, to cease his globetrotting in pursuit of a fleeting image boost, and to return home to address the mounting domestic challenges. We need practical solutions to tackle these pressing issues, not mere grandstanding on the world stage.
Lamentably, the political landscape offers little respite. Anwar, once a beacon of hope, now appears to be all talk and no action, his influence waning. His days of dynamism in politics have seemingly given way to a state of inertia.
In these trying times, we yearn for leaders who will roll up their sleeves and lead by example, steering our nation toward a brighter future. It's a call for action, a plea for real solutions, and an insistence that our leaders remain dedicated to their primary responsibilities, working diligently to address the struggles facing our citizens.
Abbas from West bank was asked to come down merely not vocal enough to support Gaza Palestinians sufferings now although it is not governed by West Bank.
Singapore President also voiced out to support on the humanitarian grounds. The government of Spore can choose to be neutral because most of the population/voters are non-Muslim. Whoever the leader in Malaysia, he/she will support Gaza Palestinians side.
Excellent leaders lead the people to think rationally. Bad leaders stir up hatred, jealousy and grudges with delusion, illusion and lies.
NB: SIngapore doesn't succeed without reasons. Singapore has admirably positioned itself as world leader for this noble mission.
PM Lee explains importance for Singapore to maintain relations with Israelis and Palestinians, provide aid to civilians In the long term, a two-state solution needs to be found so that both sides can live in peace, and there is "really no alternative" to that, says Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Clearly distinguish the level of maturity in thinking......bagai bumi dan langit.
Here are some general considerations for PMX in response to such a conflict: Express concern and condemn violence: The prime minister may start by expressing concern over the escalating violence and the loss of civilian lives. They could condemn any form of violence, particularly acts that target innocent civilians.
Call for an immediate ceasefire: The PMX may call for an immediate ceasefire from both sides to prevent further casualties and destruction. They could emphasize the importance of dialogue, negotiations, and peaceful resolutions to the conflict.
Advocate for international diplomacy: The PMX might stress the significance of international diplomatic efforts and urge the international community, including the United Nations and relevant regional organizations, to intervene and facilitate dialogue between Israel and Hamas.
Support humanitarian assistance: The PMX may highlight the importance of providing humanitarian aid to affected areas and urge the international community to support relief efforts for civilians affected by the conflict.
Promote peaceful negotiations and a two-state solution: The PMX could reiterate Malaysia's support for a peaceful resolution based on a two-state solution, where Israel and Palestine can coexist side by side within secure and recognized borders.
Engage in diplomatic channels: The PMX may utilize diplomatic channels to engage with other world leaders, particularly those involved in mediating the conflict, to express Malaysia's concerns and contribute to diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalation and peaceful resolution.
Lastly, Engage with regional and international organizations: The PMX might collaborate with regional organizations, such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and international bodies like the United Nations, to address the situation and advocate for a peaceful resolution. Will PMX implement some of the steps which I have said above???

Exactly- so much work to do if these ppl really want to help (but should relinguish their public offices or posts first so that can fully commit to these). Why squander away tax payers' money bagai mencurah garam ke laut?
100 millions went into the drain just like that. Poof. PMX and Lafiji want to do Subsidies Rationalisation next year but just ina few days, PMX spent RM100 millions, by just opening his mouth. That money can help our B40 population. Did Saudi Arabia, the oil rich Muslim nation pledged money to Palestine??? Msia is a poor nation compare to Saudi Arabia.
Palestine will stop fighting if no nation will keep on pouring money to her. Like Ukraine, will not stop fighting if the West and US pour in millions upon millions to Ukraine besides sending thousands of military equipments to Ukraine.
a proxy war btn arab saudi, iran and turkey for dominance in the m/ east. why small potato blindly jump into this giant fight using palestinian cause as a shield?
Exceptional leaders inspire critical thinking and rational discourse among their people, fostering unity and progress. Conversely, poor leaders employ tactics of manipulation and deception to sow seeds of animosity, jealousy, and enduring grudges, perpetuating a toxic environment.
Singapore's remarkable success as a global leader is underpinned by its commitment to this noble mission of promoting rationality and peaceful coexistence. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong eloquently elucidates the importance of maintaining relations with both Israelis and Palestinians, emphasizing the need to provide aid to civilians caught in the crossfire.
For Singapore, the ultimate goal remains a two-state solution that allows both Israelis and Palestinians to coexist harmoniously, as PM Lee aptly observes, for there truly is no viable alternative to lasting peace.
Many countries (esp theocracy ones) which uphold apartheid system to certain extent are eligible to criticise Isreal. After all, apartheid is apartheid - whether mild or excessive. Apartheid opposes equality. They lack of mirror to look into themselves. What a shame!
It's worth acknowledging that several countries, some of which have elements of an apartheid system, do indeed criticize Israel. Apartheid is universally condemned as it contradicts the principle of equality.
The world must learn from USA - spending so much for wars afar, and more of its ppl are homeless in many cities. Yes, technocrat like Elon, or weaponry typhoon like Tony Stark will come out as multibillionaires. Homeless......homeless......homeless......
dulu when US VP Al Gore campur tangan in our local fight between Tun M & Anwar, we tak suka tapi now we campur tangan in fight between Israel-Palentine which really doesn't concern us at all. PMX has shown the world that Malaysia is still the same old Malaysia, there is no Malaysia Baru
I heard Lafiji is sick … don’t know what mystery illness. So Pmx doesn’t has Lafiji views convey to Pmx as usual. That’s why Pmx made so many blunders
Quote: "PMX has created historical low Ringgit and worst living cost..."
In fact, he just maintains every policy and practice status quo. Naturally, doing the same thing over and over again - can only expect further deterioration
If the lenders are charging 2% the cost of the borrowing is RM54 Million a day.
A normal housing can be repaid within 20 or 30 years when taken by a family. But these national debts of exceeding RM1 trillion, as claimed by certain quarters, you will not be surprised if the debts can not be repaid in 100 years from today.
How not the national coffer will be emptied soon? The interest charges alone already so much a day. Plenty of Ringgits will be sacrificed to pay up these loans/debts in days/years to come. Likely, the Ringgit will suffer further although may be slowly.
Kerana pulut santan bobrok, Kerana gomen ringgit merosot. Sayangkan kera di hutan, Anak kera susu diberikan, Tepikan anak di buaian, Kepapaan hidup berlanjutan
Sebab pulut, bau santan busuk, Sebab mulut, nilai ringgit susut. Sayangkan kera di hutan, Anak kera susu diberikan, Tepikan anak di buaian, Kepapaan hidup berlanjutan, Kerana sibuk jaga tepi kain orang timur tengah, Rakyat sendiri bagai pelanduk mati kepapaan di tengah kuasa besar
KLSe has been trending the same direction for decades- as bearish as ringgit vs SGD. And parlieament is too busy to discuss dand debate ways to reverse the trend

Gotta be taught a lesson. Kerana pulut santan bobrok, Kerana gomen ringgit merosot. Sayangkan kera di hutan, Anak kera susu diberikan, Tepikan anak di buaian, Kepapaan hidup berlanjutan
For in the space of 3 months between January and March 2023, Singapore’s central bank has quietly bought an incredible 68.7 tonnes of gold, making Singapore the world’s leading sovereign gold buyer for the first quarter of 2023, even ahead of China.
Singapore's central bank ... ultra smart, buy and keep gold as reserve instead of the worthless , fiat currencies.
Gold is of no use. Electronic just need a nano fraction of the available supply. Gold is another TULIP in the making. When Glove companies were on hot pursuit, TULIP was mentioned. Now compare the state of GLOVE and TULIP with Gold. Gold will be next TULIP and GLOVE.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
