Tuhan Baru Telah Muncul??(part4)
New World Order ini adalah dunia baru dimana kedaulatan negara tidak wujud lagi. Rancangan NOW ini sedang diatur – Canada, Amerika dan Mexico telah disatukan – kemudian seluruh Selatan Amerika akan dijerut masuk. Eropah sedang bersatu – ini akan menjerut masuk Afrika dan Timur Tengah. Asia akan dikepali oleh Jepun yang akan menjerut semua negara di Asia.
Lihat sekarang telah wujud Asean dan Apec untuk Asia , African Union untuk Afrika dan Union of South American Nations untuk Amerika Latin. Semua ini adalah perancangan Illuminati. Semua ini direstui oleh kaum pemodal antarabangsa. Rancangan akhir mereka ialah untuk memastikan semua rakyat dunia ini akan tunduk kepada kuasa mereka.
Dalam masa yang tidak lama lagi manusia akan di cap dengan microchip. Tak percaya? Bukankah idea ini telah terkeluar dari mulut seorang pegawai polis Malaysia tiga tahun dahulu dan berita ini telah dilaporkan dalam Utusan Malaysia. Microchip ini untuk bayi yang baru lahir – atas alasan untuk mengekori penjahat. Tetapi hakikatnya microchip ini ialah untuk mengawal semua umat manusia agar tunduk kepada sistem ekonomi kapitalis.
Umat manusia akan taat bekerja dari jam 9 hingga 5 – bercuti Sabtu Ahad. Jika sopan dan tekun mereka akan dapat gaji untuk membeli kondo, ipod, Kancil, kasut Prada, beg Luis Vuitton dan pelbagai jenis ‘biji-biji saga’ yang dijanjikan.
Ini bukan satu dongeng konspirasi. Ini bukan plot sebuah novel yang belum siap. Ini adalah hakikat politik dunia hari ini. Memahami politik dunia hari ini amat penting. Jika kita gagal untuk memahami garis dan strateji Illuminati maka kita tidak akan melawan. Jika tidak bangun melawan maka umat manusia dalam dunia ini akan dijadikan hamba abdi.
Apakah itu hamba abdi moden??

Tuhan Baru Telah Muncul??(part 3)
Sesudah dasar penswastaan di terima pakai – kita mula terdengar apa yang dikatakan - Dunia Tanpa Sempadan. Dunia tanpa sempadan ini ialah agenda Illiminati untuk melupuskan kedaulatan negara. Dunia tanpa sempadan bukan bererti orang Afrika boleh senang-senang masuk ke Eropah. Dunia tanpa sempadan bukan bererti buruh rakyat Pakistan boleh masuk ke Jepun untuk mencari kerja. Tanpa sempadan hanyalah untuk duit modal masuk ke mana sahaja untuk mencari untung.
Modal antarabangsa ini tidak boleh diganggu gugat ketika modal ini sedang mencari keuntungan maksima dimana sahaja dalam dunia ini. Dunia tanpa sempadan ialah untuk para pelaboran antarbangsa bermain ‘tikam dan berjudi’ di pasaran saham negara-negara Dunia Ketiga.
Lihat apa yang berlaku di Asia Tenggara pada tahun 1997 dahulu. Lihat bagaimana kaum kapitalis antarabangsa telah menerbus masuk dan menekan negara-negara Asia Tenggara dan akhirnya banyak hospital kita terjual, talipon kita terjual, sistem pendidikan kita terjual.
Lihat Tesco, Carrefour, Giant, Court Mamoth, AIA, ING, Ikea, Burger King, MacDogal, Shell, Esso – semua ini adalah milik pemodal antarabangsa. Semua ini dipaksakan ke atas pasaran kita melalui perjanjian World Trade Organisation (WTO).
WTO memaksa negara Dunia Ketiga membuka pasaran untuk pemodal antarabangsa masuk mencari untung.Perjanjian WTO ini adalah perjanjian terbuka yang berat sebelah – sama seperti perjanjian-perjanjian East India Company yang telah dibuat oleh Sultan Johor dengan Raffles pada tahun 1819 dahulu. Sama seperti perjanjian Sultan Kedah dengan Francis Light pada tahun 1786. Sama seperti Perjanjian Pangkor 1874 yang akhirnya Tanah Melayu jatuh ke tangan British.
Dari zaman penjajah dahulu cita-cita kaum pemodal kapitalis ini untuk memiliki dunia ini tidak pernah padam-padam. Cita-cita kaum pemodal antarabangsa ini untuk menjadikan umat manusia sebagai hamba adalah manifesto New World Order. Kabal-kabal Illuminati saban hari merancang. Hari ini semua strateji telah di rancang. Semua telah di susun. Para banker di belakang Iluminati sedang dalam persediaan akhir untuk melahirkan apa yang mereka katakan – New World Order atau Dunia Bentuk Baru.

Tuhan baru telah muncul?? (part 2)
Siapa sebenarnya yang menelorkan dan mencadangkan dasar penswastaan ini. Dasar ini dimunculkan oleh pemikir kabal-kabal Illuminati. Para pemikir dari pelbagai ‘think tank’ ini yang telah mengajukan agenda penswastaan kepada Bank Dunia dan IMF sebagai satu usaha untuk apa yang mereka panggil – cara untuk memperbaiki dan mengembangkan ekonomi di negara-negara sedang membangun.
IMF dan Bank Dunia menjadikan penswastaan ini sebagai dasar untuk diterima pakai. Negara Dunia Ketiga yang miskin jika ingin meminjam dana dari bank-bank antarabangsa diwajibkan menjalankan dasar penswastaan. Penswataan bermakna menjualkan harta hak milik orang ramai kepada kaum kapitalis antrabangsa.
Di belakang dasar penswastaan ini ialah para banker dari kabal Illuminati. Para banker yang telah mengumpulkan berbilon kertas dolar memerlukan pasarana pelaboran baru. Hukum ekonomi kapitalis mewajibkan kaum pemodal terus mencari pasaran baru.
Di Eropah Barat pasaran telah tepu. Maka kabal Illuminati telah mengarahkan Bank Dunia dan IMF memaksa dibuka seluas mungkin pasaran di negara Dunia Ketiga. Hasilnya kita melihat harta negara kita –air, talipon, tv, jalan raya, hospital, bangunan, bank – semuanya bertukar tangan.
Apabila Perang Dingin tamat lihat apa yang telah terjadi kepada Russia dan Eropah Timur. Negara-negara ini sedang mengamalkan sistem ekonomi sosialis telah diasak dan di serang. Russia telah dipecah-pecahkan. Perang telah dicetuskan di Bosnia, di Kosovo, di Montenegro dan di Chechen – semua ini adalah perancangan licik untuk memaksa harta rakyat di Eropah Timur di jual kepada kaum pemodal antrabangsa.Sesudah dasar penswastaan di terima pakai – kita mula terdengar apa yang dikatakan - Dunia Tanpa Sempadan.

Tuhan baru telah muncul??
Lupakan kedaulatan Sultan Perak. Lupakan kedaulatan Raja-Raja. Semua ini adalah ciput. Semua kedaulatan ini tidak akan diambil kira dalam agenda globalisasi yang sedang berjalan hari ini. Semua Tan Seri, Tan Tun, Mak Datin , Pak Haji, Ayatollah, Padri, Sami, Rabbai atau apa sahaja bentuk manusia semuanya menjadi ciput dalam agenda baru yang sedang berjalan hari ini.Tuhan baru telah muncul....
Tuhan yang dibawa oleh sistem kapitalis. Tidak percaya? Sila renung dan periksa diri sendiri. Sistem ekonomi kapitalis telah menjadikan manusia berebut-rebut untuk mengumpul harta. Sistem ekonomi kapitalis telah melahirkan satu budaya dimana umat manusia dalam dunia ini terlupa dan terlalai bahawa kita hanyalsh bertransit di atas muka bumi ini.Budaya kapitalis ini telah mencakupi semua aspek kehidupan manusia. Manusia moden kurun ke 21 telah dilalaikan untuk menjadi binatang konsumer yang mengguna dan mengumpulkan pelbagai ‘biji-biji saga’ dan barangan kodi untuk mainan.
Manusia moden telah menjadi seperti Toyol yang asyik bermain dengan biji-biji saga hingga terlupa bahawa tujuan hidup ini adalah untuk mengenal diri sendiri dan melakukan kebaikan.Sistem kapitalis telah membawa satu budaya dimana ianya mengasak, meraba dan merangsang sifat jahat dalam diri manusia. Hukum induk ekonomi kapitalis - keuntungan maksima – telah melupuskan nilai baik yang sedia wujud dalam diri manusia. Justeru apakah kita hairan apabila kita terbaca dalam akhbar bagaimana pembekal susu tepong di Tanah Besar China telah membubuh malamin dalam tepong untuk dijual sebagai susu. Mereka menjual susu ini bukan kepada orang Sweden tetapi kepada bayi-bayi China sanak saudara mereka sendiri. Justeru apakah kita hairan apabila kita membaca berita di Sepanyol dan Portugal ada pembekal minyak zaiton telah membubuh minyak hitam yang sudah terpakai untuk dijual sebagai campuran minyak zaiton.
Justeru apakah kita hairan apabila membaca bagaimana kontrektor Bumiputera yang bersunat dan selalu naik umrah telah membuat bangunan sekolah, bilik makmal dan hospital dengan menggunakan barangan tidak berkualiti dan akhirnya bangunan-bangunan ini runtuh rantah.Semua ini dilakukan kerana mereka hidup mengikut hukum dan budaya kapitalisma. Keuntungan maksima adalah tuhan baru yang sedang disembah. Selama 30 tahun kebelakangan ini tuhan baru ini telah muncul dimerata pelusuk dunia. Tuhan ini akan berada dimana sahaja wujudnya sistem ekonomi kapitalis termasuk di Malaysia.Tiga puluh tahun dahulu – air, api, jalan raya, hospital, bank, sekolah, universiti, talipon, radio, tv – semua ini adalah milik kita bersama. Semua ini adalah hak milik negara bermakna hak milik orang ramai. Tiba-tiba harta orang ramai ini diswastakan.

A Picture Speaks Thousands......
One more picture..........
Apakah yang bermain-main di fikiran anda tatkala menatap gambar di atas buat pertama kali?
Fikirkan sejenak dengan akal waras yang dikurniakan...
Diberitakan para sami dalam gambar di atas telah selamat memeluk Islam...
Betapa universalnya Islam itu sendiri sehingga melampaui batas sempadan kaum dan warna kulit .....
Namun begitu terdapat juga sesetengah pihak (kononnya pembela nasib Melayu) yang cuba membangkitkan polemik perkauman sempit seolah-olah Islam itu hanya milik ekslusif masyarakat melayu disini..betapa jumudnya pemikiran mereka itu atau pun sekadar menangguk di air keruh bagi meneruskan survivor politik mereka?? Hanya jauhari mengenal manikam...
Buktinya lihat sahaja, beberapa minggu yang lalu heboh di dada akhbar dan tv arus perdana tentang seorang berbangsa cina yang memetik sepotong ayat al-Quran untuk tujuan dijadikan tauladan...nah, terus sahaja lelaki cina itu dihentam dan berguni2 laporan polis telah dibuat!!
Apa semua ni??..patutnya kita lah sebagai umat Muhammad yang bertanggungjawab menyebarkan syiar dan panji2 bukannye meruntuhkannya seperti mana runtuhnya kota Melaka....dekati mereka, rapati mereka, tunjukkan keindahan mukjizat al-Quran itu kepada mereka selagi mana mereka tidak memusuhi kita...

Kalaulah saya juga Minah Indonesia
Sama ada Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) wujud atau mati, orang awam di negara kita akan terus bercakap dalam Bahasa Melayu. Manusia di mana-mana pun dalam dunia ini perlu berhubung antara satu dengan yang lain. Bunyi yang keluar dari mulut dan tekak mereka menjadi cara terbaik untuk berhubung. Bunyi ini akan menyampaikan apa yang ada dalam fikrah mereka. Jutaan tahun dahulu, bunyi-bunyi ini tunggang-langgang sifatnya. Masa dan keperluan untuk berhubung sesama manusia telah mengembangkan bunyi ini dari satu susuk ke satu kumpulan hingga ke satu daerah dan mukim. Kemudian ia menjadi tersusun, bercambah dan berkembang – akhirnya bunyi ini dipanggil bahasa.Semua ini berlaku tanpa dana daripada Kementerian Pelajaran atau DBP.Heboh-heboh Bahasa Melayu mula kedengaran kembali di awal tahun ini. Heboh-heboh bahasa dalam negara kita ini macam perangai kelab dangdut: kejap-kejap ada, kadang-kadang hilang. Tetapi selalunya hilang entah ke mana. Macam berniaga buluh kasap, hujung hilang pangkal lesap.Pernahkah para pembaca terdengar nama Gapena (Gabungan Penulis Nasional), Pena (Persatuan Penulis Nasional) dan beratus-ratus jenis kumpulan yang mengakui bahawa ahli-ahlinya bakal penulis, penulis dan sasterawan? Sesiapa yang tidak pernah mendengar, tidak mengapa. Kita tidak akan dimarahi oleh menteri dalam negeri Syed Hamid Albar atau disaman oleh Jabatan Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (Jawi).Nama-nama yang saya tulis di atas itu badan-badan sasterawan Melayu yang "berani" mengakui diri mereka sebagai pewaris, pengembang dan penjaga Bahasa Melayu. Saya cukup sangsi dengan pengakuan badan-badan ini. Telah lama saya perhatikan. Badan-badan ini lebih banyak dilihat sebagai pembodek kuasa daripada berjuang untuk menegakkan Bahasa Melayu.Untuk saya, susuk ulung yang trampil dalam mengembangkan Bahasa Melayu pada ketika ialah Minah-minah Indonesia dan bukan badan-badan sasterawan ini.Cuba perhatikan: Pada ketika ini Minah-minah Indonesia ini berada di setiap pelusuk kota-kota besar di negara kita ini. Mereka datang ke sini untuk bekerja mencari nafkah. Mereka tidak mengira kerja apa pun - semua sanggup mereka lakukan. Mereka tidak memilih siapa majikan mereka. Mereka tidak menilai apa agama majikan mereka. Mereka tidak menghiraukan di lubang mana mereka akan bekerja. Inilah sikap dan nilai kaum buruh, kaum proletariat, yang dibawa oleh Minah-minah Indonesia ke sini.Wajib disedari bukan semua mereka ini Melayu. Ertinya bukan semua bahasa ibunda mereka Bahasa Melayu. Ada Minah Jawa, ada Minah Sulawesi, ada Minah Ambon, ada Minah Madura. Semua suku kaum ini memiliki bahasa khusus masing-masing – bahasa ibunda mereka tersendiri. Tetapi apabila memburuh dan membanting tulang di negara kita, mereka menggunakan Bahasa Melayu. Perhatikan apa yang akan terjadi apabila mereka menjadi pembantu rumah di sebuah rumah Tioghua kelas menengah. Minah-minah Indonesia ini tidak mengetahui Bahasa Inggeris. Mereka wajib berhubung, justeru pastilah Bahasa Melayu yang akan digunakan di antara si Minah dengan majikannya. Tidak dapat tidak majikannya, yang mungkin selesa dengan Bahasa Inggeris, kini wajib bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu.Kehadiran si Minah ini telah memaksa keluarga Tionghua kelas menengah menggunakan Bahasa Melayu. Keadaan ini lebih hebat daripada kempen-kempen penggunaan Bahasa Kebangsaan anjuran kerajaan yang hanya sibuk di poster-poster dan kain-kain rentang.Biasanya majikan dari kelas menengah memiliki sikap tak ambil endah terhadap Bahasa Melayu. Jadi, apabila si pembantu ini datang, maka untuk pertama kalinya si majikan "terpaksa" mempelajari kembali cara yang betul dan tepat untuk bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu. Tidak ada peranan DBP, Kementerian Pelajaran, Teras (Teras Pengupayaan Melayu) atau sasterawan Melayu di sini. Semua pengajaran Bahasa Melayu ini berjalan tanpa paksaan. Semuanya berjalan tanpa akta Parlimen atau riuh-rendah daripada Gapena.Jika si Minah ini menjadi babu menjaga anak, maka peranan babu ini cukup penting. Si Babu yang mendodoikan anak kecil ini akan lebih banyak berguli dan berjenaka dengan si anak kecil. Malah jika diambil nisbah masa, waktu si babu bersama anak lebih banyak berbanding dengan waktu si ibu bersama anak. Si babu Minah Indonesia ini pastilah bertutur dalam Bahasa Melayu yang tersusun. Bunyi yang keluar dari tekak dan mulut si babu inilah yang akan sentiasa didengar oleh telinga si anak kecil. Inilah bukti si babu ini sedang menjadi pengembang Bahasa Melayu tanpa ada laporan huhah huhah dalam Dewan Sastera atau Dewan Masyarakat. Atau laporan daripada Kementerian Pelajaran.Lihat apa yang sedang terjadi di Hong Kong. Di kota pulau ini, tanpa dirancang, Tagalog menjadi bahasa kedua rakyat di sana. Ia berlaku kerana hampir semua babu dan pembantu rumah di Hong Kong didatangkan dari Filipina. Tidak dapat tidak anak-anak kecil yang dijagai oleh Minah Filipina ini akan fasih berbahasa Tagalog.Saya juga sering ke kedai makan dan ke restoran Cina. Saya perhatikan banyak, malah hampir semua, restoran Cina di kota Kuala Lumpur ini mengambil pekerja Minah Indonesia. Ada yang bertugas di dapur, ada yang membuat minuman dan ramai yang menjadi pelayan tamu. Minah-minah ini tanpa segan-silu bekerja dalam restoran Cina. Sekali lagi saya perhatikan betapa pentingnya peranan mereka. Kalau Minah ini menjadi pelayan di restoran Cina, sudah pasti para pelanggan Cina yang akan dilayani. Si Minah akan mengambil pesanan. Si Minah akan membersihkan meja. Si Minah akan menyusun tempat duduk. Si Minah ke dapur menghantar pesanan. Beginilah pekerjaan pelayan. Tetapi ada satu lagi pekerjaan yang saya anggap lebih suci tetapi tidak dapat dinilai dengan ringgit dan dolar – si Minah pelayan di restoran Cina ini penyebar Bahasa Melayu yang ulung. Saya perhatikan Bahasa Melayu yang dituturkan oleh Minah-minah Indonesia ini cukup teratur. Lenggok dan lagunya bahasa baku. Si Minah ini tidak pernah akan mengubah telo bunyi yang akan keluar dari mulut dan tekak mereka. Bunyi-bunyi yang dikeluarkan adalah sama – tidak mengira apakah si pelanggan seorang apek berseluar pendek atau seorang taukeh berjaket dan bertali leher.Malah daripada pemerhatian saya, Bahasa Melayu yang dituturkan oleh Minah-minah ini lebih baik susunan ayatnya daripada pertuturan kelam bin kabut dan lintang bin pukang yang terhambur dari tekak para pengacara televisyen dan radio kita. Saya pendukung penggunaan Bahasa Melayu. Saya bukan pembodek bahasa – apabila ada kempen-kempen Bahasa Kebangsaan dijalankan, maka saya tidak akan "menonjol-nonjol" untuk masuk ke "bingkai" untuk berdiri di sebelah menteri. Saya tidak akan memakai baju batik berlengan panjang untuk membaca-baca sajak yang saya sendiri pun tidak memahami hujung pangkal. Untuk saya, semua ini kerja bodoh.Bahasa Melayu, untuk saya, bukan Bahasa Kebangsaan. Saya tidak memiliki nilai "kebangsaan". Bahasa Melayu milik anak semua bangsa. Bahasa Melayu adalah bunyi-bunyi dari tekak dan mulut untuk tujuan kita berhubung antara satu sama lain. Bunyi-bunyi ini wujud untuk kita berhubung, mengenal, menyambung nilai dan menyambung sejarah kita.Bahasa Melayu, untuk saya, "bahasa strategik untuk perubahan". Saya mengamal, menyebar dan mencanangkan Bahasa Melayu bukan kerana saya Melayu tetapi kerana saya yakin hanya penggunaan Bahasa Melayu ini sahaja yang akan dapat menolak terbuka apa sahaja bentuk perubahan yang diinginkan di negara kita ini.Kalau sesiapa yakin tentang peranan Bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa strategik untuk perubahan, maka mereka wajib memiliki nilai-nilai seperti Minah-minah Indonesia yang sedang memburuh dalam negara kita sekarang. Saya cukup menghormati Minah-minah Indonesia ini – untuk saya - merekalah pejuang Bahasa Melayu yang tulen. Meremang bulu tengkuk, dan besar kemungkinan saya juga akan muntah, jika saya disabitkan dengan gerakan Bahasa Kebangsaan. Saya lebih berbesar hati dan berbangga jika saya juga dapat dianggap sebagai Minah Indonesia.

Abdullah: The missed opportunity
KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — The contrast yesterday could not have been more striking.
There he was looking tired, spent, raiding a bare cupboard to justify his 5 ½ years in office and looking forward to a life of gardening with his wife. At the age of 73.
There he was looking sprightly, combative, ready to clock 12 hour days in the office and looking forward to another shot at public service, another short of salvaging his legacy. At the age of 84.
The contrast could not have been more striking.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi looked and sounded like a defeated man in his farewell interview with Mingguan Malaysia, a man exiting the main stage with a whimper.
The man who forced him out, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad looked and sounded like a politician ready for another tour of duty in his series of newspaper interviews and address to Malay right-wing group Perkasa.
The attempt to put a gloss on Abdullah’s years as prime minister has started.
From his replies, it is clear that he truly believes that Islam Hadhari, fiscal prudence , the Judicial Appointments Commission, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and opening up of discourse here will burnish his legacy.
Newspapers are ready to publish articles on the high points of the Abdullah era.
Utusan Malaysia is proposing that he be feted like a statesman when he leaves office on April 3. But if Malaysians are honest; if his supporters are honest; if Abdullah is honest, his five years in office should be headlined: The Missed Opportunity.
If it seems that he and his supporters are scrapping the barrel to prop him up as a top notch leader, it is because they are.
His failings become obvious when his time in office is measured against the likes of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Historians may rank him joint fourth or fifth in terms of achievements, fulfilling promises and utilising a mandate.
Look at what his competition achieved:
Tunku Abdul Rahman — Delivered independence for the country, embraced the idea of the Alliance and never once forgot that he was the leader of all Malayans/Malaysians. Because he and other early Umno politicians like Tun Dr Ismail and Tun Abdul Razak were fair and honest men, non-Malays were happy to accept the leadership of Umno.
The independence of institutions was respected during his time and there was a respect for the separation of powers by the government.
Tun Abdul Razak — He crafted policies and ideas which helped Malaysia navigate itself through the dark days after the May 1969 riots. The New Economic Policy, Rukunegara and Felda were born during his short term inoffice. Barisan Nasional and concept of power-sharing among different races was introduced by him.
Some of the most prominent politicians whom he selected and nurtured in the 1970s still dominate the scene today. In short, a prime minister who left an indelible mark on Malaysia.
Tun Hussein Onn — He largely continued Razak’s economic policies but pushed for the creation of a Malay business class. During his short term, NEP policies exceeded their targets, so soon after he left office in 1981, Dr Mahathir reaped the rewards and was credited with most of its achievements.
Some say he was a meticulous man, others claim he was indecisive. He took six months to go through the 403-page Third Malaysian Plan.
A lawyer by training, he was a stickler for rules. During his time in office, he was challenged by elements in Umno, communist insurgency and secession from Sabah.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad — He transformed Malaysia from an agrarian society to one of the top trading nations in the world. His economic policies helped create the large middle class we have in the country today.
Built the national car, the Petronas Twin Towers, Putrajaya and gave Malaysians a sense of confidence. His 22 years in office also witnessed the controversial round up of some 100 people under Operasi Lalang, the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim from government, the clipping of the power of the royalty and the hollowing out of the institutions.
On the world stage because of his willingness to go against convention, Malaysia punched above her weight. Umno became bigger, more assertive and less accommodating during his time.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi — He won the biggest mandate in history. Introduced Islam Hadhari; reduced the budget deficit to 3.2 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product; allowed more debate and opening up of democratic space; set up the MACC and JAC and introduced the five economic growth corridors.
On the surface, Abdullah looks to have done a decent job. But remove a couple of layers and a sorry picture emerges.
He is leaving a country fractured by racial and religious polarisation. Anyone listening to the rabid speeches at the Perkasa function yesterday would have wondered whether Malaysia is home to Malays, Chinese, Indians or home only to Malays.
If there is growing chauvinism among Malaysians, it is because the Abdullah administration took a cavalier attitude towards the festering sores in Malaysian society.
It leaned too heavily on “the time will heal every problem” approach, putting off solving vexing issues of religious freedom and the abuse of the NEP to another day, hoping that the embers of anger in each community would douse itself out.
He is leaving behind institutions a significant number of Malaysians do not have trust in. The Police. The Judiciary. The Civil Service.
The early signs from the MACC are not promising. Government lawmakers believe that it has been invested with too much power and the Opposition feel that the commission will do the bidding of the BN government.
A survey by the Merdeka Centre shows that the majority of Malaysians do not believe that either the MACC or the JAC will be effective in tackling corruption and improving the standing of the judiciary.
Abdullah’s third initiative — a tribunal for enforcement agencies — is currently in limbo. Government lawmakers have blocked its passage through Parliament, arguing that more work needs to be done before the legislation is rubber-stamped.
That is the official reason.
The real reason is that BN lawmakers are suspicious of the tribunal, and do not believe that any independent body should be empowered to lord over the police, customs, immigration and other uniform services.
Looking back at his term as PM, Abdullah told Mingguan Malaysia that he made a couple of strategic errors.
He should have pushed ahead with all his reforms just after winning the 2004 elections.
With a solid mandate, momentum and with the pro-status quo powers cowed into silence, he could have reformed Umno and the country.
Instead, he waited and waited and the establishment forces in Umno recovered their poise and strength. Knowing that he could not control the party, he became a prisoner to its wants.
For example when the party rejected the open tender system, he went along with it.
Not surprisingly, 80 per cent of all government contracts during his term were direct negotiations.
Abdullah also lamented that while he encouraged more discourse on sensitive topics and openness during his time as PM, he should have redrawn the out-of-bound markers for Malaysians.
True, he should have better managed the opening up of democratic space in Malaysia.
True, he should have had more resolve in tackling excesses by his party.
True, he should have done more to ensure that a more equitable system was put in place.
True, he should have made good all his promises in his first term of office.
He did not.
And as a result, his goal of serving two terms in office was cut short, dramatically by the party he served so slavishly.
Historians may be kinder to him.
His party men will bid him farewell this week in glowing terms.
But for many Malaysians, the Abdullah years will be remembered as the Missed Opportunity.
There he was looking tired, spent, raiding a bare cupboard to justify his 5 ½ years in office and looking forward to a life of gardening with his wife. At the age of 73.
There he was looking sprightly, combative, ready to clock 12 hour days in the office and looking forward to another shot at public service, another short of salvaging his legacy. At the age of 84.

Tunku Abdul Rahman — Delivered independence for the country, embraced the idea of the Alliance and never once forgot that he was the leader of all Malayans/Malaysians. Because he and other early Umno politicians like Tun Dr Ismail and Tun Abdul Razak were fair and honest men, non-Malays were happy to accept the leadership of Umno.
The independence of institutions was respected during his time and there was a respect for the separation of powers by the government.
Tun Abdul Razak — He crafted policies and ideas which helped Malaysia navigate itself through the dark days after the May 1969 riots. The New Economic Policy, Rukunegara and Felda were born during his short term inoffice. Barisan Nasional and concept of power-sharing among different races was introduced by him.
Some of the most prominent politicians whom he selected and nurtured in the 1970s still dominate the scene today. In short, a prime minister who left an indelible mark on Malaysia.
Tun Hussein Onn — He largely continued Razak’s economic policies but pushed for the creation of a Malay business class. During his short term, NEP policies exceeded their targets, so soon after he left office in 1981, Dr Mahathir reaped the rewards and was credited with most of its achievements.
Some say he was a meticulous man, others claim he was indecisive. He took six months to go through the 403-page Third Malaysian Plan.
A lawyer by training, he was a stickler for rules. During his time in office, he was challenged by elements in Umno, communist insurgency and secession from Sabah.
Dr Mahathir Mohamad — He transformed Malaysia from an agrarian society to one of the top trading nations in the world. His economic policies helped create the large middle class we have in the country today.
Built the national car, the Petronas Twin Towers, Putrajaya and gave Malaysians a sense of confidence. His 22 years in office also witnessed the controversial round up of some 100 people under Operasi Lalang, the sacking of Anwar Ibrahim from government, the clipping of the power of the royalty and the hollowing out of the institutions.
On the world stage because of his willingness to go against convention, Malaysia punched above her weight. Umno became bigger, more assertive and less accommodating during his time.
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi — He won the biggest mandate in history. Introduced Islam Hadhari; reduced the budget deficit to 3.2 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product; allowed more debate and opening up of democratic space; set up the MACC and JAC and introduced the five economic growth corridors.
On the surface, Abdullah looks to have done a decent job. But remove a couple of layers and a sorry picture emerges.
He is leaving a country fractured by racial and religious polarisation. Anyone listening to the rabid speeches at the Perkasa function yesterday would have wondered whether Malaysia is home to Malays, Chinese, Indians or home only to Malays.
If there is growing chauvinism among Malaysians, it is because the Abdullah administration took a cavalier attitude towards the festering sores in Malaysian society.
It leaned too heavily on “the time will heal every problem” approach, putting off solving vexing issues of religious freedom and the abuse of the NEP to another day, hoping that the embers of anger in each community would douse itself out.
He is leaving behind institutions a significant number of Malaysians do not have trust in. The Police. The Judiciary. The Civil Service.
The early signs from the MACC are not promising. Government lawmakers believe that it has been invested with too much power and the Opposition feel that the commission will do the bidding of the BN government.
A survey by the Merdeka Centre shows that the majority of Malaysians do not believe that either the MACC or the JAC will be effective in tackling corruption and improving the standing of the judiciary.
Abdullah’s third initiative — a tribunal for enforcement agencies — is currently in limbo. Government lawmakers have blocked its passage through Parliament, arguing that more work needs to be done before the legislation is rubber-stamped.
That is the official reason.
The real reason is that BN lawmakers are suspicious of the tribunal, and do not believe that any independent body should be empowered to lord over the police, customs, immigration and other uniform services.
Looking back at his term as PM, Abdullah told Mingguan Malaysia that he made a couple of strategic errors.
He should have pushed ahead with all his reforms just after winning the 2004 elections.
With a solid mandate, momentum and with the pro-status quo powers cowed into silence, he could have reformed Umno and the country.
Instead, he waited and waited and the establishment forces in Umno recovered their poise and strength. Knowing that he could not control the party, he became a prisoner to its wants.
For example when the party rejected the open tender system, he went along with it.
Not surprisingly, 80 per cent of all government contracts during his term were direct negotiations.
Abdullah also lamented that while he encouraged more discourse on sensitive topics and openness during his time as PM, he should have redrawn the out-of-bound markers for Malaysians.
True, he should have better managed the opening up of democratic space in Malaysia.
True, he should have had more resolve in tackling excesses by his party.
True, he should have done more to ensure that a more equitable system was put in place.
True, he should have made good all his promises in his first term of office.
He did not.
And as a result, his goal of serving two terms in office was cut short, dramatically by the party he served so slavishly.
Historians may be kinder to him.
His party men will bid him farewell this week in glowing terms.
But for many Malaysians, the Abdullah years will be remembered as the Missed Opportunity.

Malaysia - A failed nation
Malaysia 2020?
Those who started work around 1973a 1.3 Litre Japaness car was RM7,000Today the equivalent let's say it is RM60,000 ... 8.5 times or 850%
In 1973 a double storey house was about RM 45,000 ... or lessToday it is about RM300,000 ... 6.6 times or 660%
In 1973 an Engineer's pay was RM1,000Today it is about RM2,000+/- ... 2 times or 200%
From 1973 to 2008 ... 35 years ... what is the Trend?Bearish !!!!
In a stock market when the trend is bearish, what do we do? ... Exit!!!
When a country's trend is bearish what do we do?This Bearish trend is more difficult to turn around as compared to the stock market.
I have used these 3 items House, Car & Salary as a measurement of the country'sperformance for the past 35 years ....
There is a book I saw in MPH bookshop entitled :Malaysia : The Failed Nationsome of you may be interested to read up.
I agreed with the writer ....
This morning I was having Coffee at McDonald's (now the coffee ... 100% Arabica beans ... is quite good @ RM2.90 ... free refill!! I asked how much per hour is their pay?RM3.00! x 8 hours = RM24 per day ... x 25 days = RM600 per monthMy daughter works part-time during her University days ... she worked at Gloria Jeans Coffee ... the pay Australian $14.00 (@ 3.15 = RM44 per hour ... x 8 = RM352 per day!!! x 25 days = RM8800
13.3 times more!!! ....
Price of houses in Perth is about the same in KLPrice of cars are about 23 % cheaper ... in Perth (Australia).
I think more and more people are becoming aware of this Bearish trend.Developed country by 2020? ... means High income countryLet's look at some as of year 2005 (Financial Times)USA GNP per capita US$35,400UK GNP per capita US$25,510Australia GNP per capita US$19,530Singapore GNP per capita US$20,690These are developed countries by income measurement
Malaysia GNP per capita US$3,540Year 2020 ... developed country?
Really ... a sad story.
Worrying Trends, isn't it??
Ringgit sliding further and further under BN
Recently, I interviewed some fresh graduates applying for jobs with my engineering company. I accepted two applicants on a starting salary of RM1600. It struck me as odd that 15 years ago, I myself started work as a fresh graduate engineer for the same pay.
Indeed, if you compare the salaries of graduates now and 15 or even 20 years ago, you'll find little difference but that their purchasing power is vastly different. It's the same story when you compare salaries of shop assistants, office staff, factory workers and others.
To compound the effect of inflation, the ringgit has depreciated greatly against all major currencies. The real income of most Malaysians has moved backwards.
This is why many Malaysians suffer under the petrol hike. The root of the problem is that our real incomes have shrunk in the face of inflation and depreciated currency.. Malaysians have not been spoiled by subsidy but are unable to move out of the time lock of stagnatedand depreciated incomes.
If you compare the per capita incomes of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea, they are a few multiples of ours although at independence all these countries were the on the same economic level as Malaysia .
What has gone wrong? We were the rising star of East Asia, a country rich in natural resources with the most promising potential.
The reason is massive corruption, plundering of resources, wastage of funds for huge non- economic projects, anti-public interest deals with politically-linked companies and passing of the buck to the man in the street.
Four decades of NEP where education, economic and employment policies are defined by race ensured that meritocracy took a back seat.
Our university standard has declined and the today best and brightest of our youth emigrate to escape the racial inequality only to contribute to the economies of foreign lands.
The reputation of our judiciary which was held in high esteem worldwide has sunk so low that foreign investors now insist on arbitration in Singapore in case of any dispute.
We also have a slew of oppressive laws such as the ISA, OSA, Uuca and PPPA which stifle free speech and are designed to keep the ruling parties in power.
We have become less attractive to foreign investors and now lag behind our neighbours in Asean for foreign direct investment. Even some corporations who have established themselves here are moving out.
All the economic and social malaise cannot help but affect the value of our currency. The strength of a country's currency is after all, a reflection of its fundamentals.
Furthermore, Bank Negara has a policy of weak ringgit to help exporters, never mind the burden on the common folk. The government is pro-corporation, not pro-rakyat.
While the poor and middle-class are squeezed, an elite group gets breathtakingly rich. We have the distinction of having the worse income disparity in Asean. A re-distribution of wealth is under way from the poor and middle-class to a select group of politically-connected elite.
The end result of this re-distribution will be a small group of super-rich while the majority are pushed into poverty and the middle-class shrinks. This is what happens when the rich gets richer and the poor get poorer.
There is much that is wrong with Malaysia. The responsibility for pulling the country backwards can be laid squarely at the door of the ruling regime. It is BN's mis-governance, racial politics and culture of patronage which has seen the country regress economically andsocially.
We seem to be sliding down a slippery slope, further down with each passing year of BN's rule. Another five years of BN rule and we'll be at Indonesia 's standard under Suharto. Another 10 years and we'll be touching the African standard. What a way to greet 2020.
Is there any hope for Malaysia ?
Faced with the reality that BN will never change, many Malaysians desperate for change turn their lonely eyes to Anwar Ibrahim.
Pakatan Raykat has promised to treat all races fairly, to plug wastage, fight corruption, reform the judiciary and make Malaysia more competitive.
But some have questioned whether we can trust Anwar and his loose coalition of disparate parties.
The question is not whether we can trust Anwar and Pakatan Rakyat but whether we can afford not to.
Can we afford another ten years of BN's misrule?
