Azerbaijan took back Nagorno-Karabakh recently from the Armenians that lived in this place during the USSR era.

Prior to the 2020 Ceasefire Agreement, Azerbaijan kind of defeated the Armenians with the help (Drones) from Turkey, Iran and even Israel.

During the fights in last September, the Armenians that populated that region were "chased away" leaving the Azerbaijan retook the land claimed by Baku.

Iran and enemy Israel were helping Azerbaijan.

Malaysia is a Muslim country. Anwar is a Muslim, so he will support Palestinian who is a Muslim state. We must understand why Anwar is so vocal to support Palestinians. Whereas Singapore is not a Muslim country. That’s why Singapore Prime Minister can be neutral in this Palestinian issues.

If China attacks Taiwan, will the Malaysian Chinese be neutral to China and be neutral to Taiwan? This is certainly the same situation which is faced by Anwar at the present moment. Certainly Anwar will support his religion which is Islam and also Palestinian which is Islam state.

The latest Israel-Hamas war didn’t help the local currency as the conflict in the Middle East has spooked investors to load up more dollars, strengthening the American currency even more. To make matters worse, Anwar blindly and recklessly expressed his support for terrorist Hamas just because they share the same religion. He had no idea the influence of the Jews in finance, economics and business.

Janet Yellen, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Goldman Sachs, Intel, Michael Bloomberg, Estée Lauder, WeWork, McDonald’s, Walt Disney and Pfizer are all Jewish, Jewish-owned brands or pro-Semitic powerful people, just to name a few. And do we need to remind Anwar how George Soros attacked and brought down Malaysian currency during the 1997/98 Asian Financial Crisis?

It was also a strategic error for Anwar Ibrahim to invite PAS Islamist party to join the unity government. Perhaps he was trying to troll the religious extremists. Perhaps he was trying to hedge his political move. But it creates an impression of political instability, which will spook investments. It was both dumb and dangerous that Anwar acknowledges his ties with Hamas.

Silly Anwar is the only state leader, besides the regime in Tehran, to publicly declare Hamas terrorists were his brother. After Washington showed its displeasure over his support for the terror group, the European Union might reconsider its economic relations with Malaysia. Yes, Anwar’s stance is problematic due to previous reports that uncovered a training program in Malaysia from 2012 that trained Hamas fighters how to fly powered parachutes

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.

Posted by EngineeringProfit > 2023-10-23 14:55 | Report Abuse

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.

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.

Posted by Income > 2023-10-23 16:12 | Report Abuse

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.

Posted by Income > 2023-10-23 16:12 | Report Abuse

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.

Posted by Income > 2023-10-23 16:14 | Report Abuse

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.

Posted by Income > 2023-10-23 16:14 | Report Abuse

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.

Posted by Income > 2023-10-23 16:16 | Report Abuse

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.
