A Message to the Business Community: Return of the Titans?

-

 



Malaysia is in danger of a backlash by the return of the Decepticons. 

        But the question is: Can we afford the return of Umno and its current batch of leaders? 

        What if they were just the red herrings -- Najib Abdul Razak or Zahid Hamidi will after not become the Prime Minister; instead, another Umno leader such as former Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Mohamad Hasan or former Minister of Higher Education, Mustapha Mohamad?

        Well, the question is: would they survive? Or would they end up being slaughtered just like Abdullah A. Badawi? After all, the good moderate politicians can hardly survive in Umno politics, where the warlords are many. 

        The country is already going through a tough time. In March this year, Finance Minister, Tengku Zafrul Aziz said that the country still needs another RM17 billionto repay 1MDB’s total outstanding debt. No thanks to Najib and Jho Low, a balance of RM38.8 billion has yet to be repaid. 

        Because of BN's administration, the Corruption Perception Index of Malaysia (CPI) has dropped. This has indirectly impacted on the income per capita and the cost of living.



        Foreign investors are shunning away from Malaysia. After all, if there are opportunities to invest elsewhere, why would they invest in Malaysia? After all, investors are more likely to invest their money in countries which give them the highest returns and where businesses are conducted with integrity. 



        Like it or not, Malaysia has been lagging behnid a number of other ASEAN countries. Therefore, Ismail Sabri Yaakob appear to be still in a slumber, when he announced that he wanted Bahasa Malaysia to be made the regional lingua franca. If you are not the economic power of the region, people would just give you the hoot.

        Sadly, if business people still choose Umno and Barisan Nasional, they are in for some greater disappointments.

Welcome to Jalan Palestin....

  The hue and cry over the Palestinian issue now is nothing but a hype created by propagandists who try to discredit Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.          This renaming of Jalan Raja Laut 1 to Jalan Palestine, was in fact during former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yasin's era. He was PM from  1 March 2020 – 16 August 2021.  The above article written by Ida Lim was dated Sunday 27 Sept 2020.           In October 2023, former prime minister Dr. Mahathir had given his 100% support towards Hamas. Why was there no big brouhaha over this in the past, and why only now?                    It is also obvious that this Hamas issue has brought together three political enemies in 2023 - Dr Mahathir, Muhyiddin Yasin and Mat Sabu -- but why was there no hype over it? Why everyone is so worked up now but not back then? It's because some cybertroopers are working round the clock to leverage on this issue to target Anwar.          In an earlier post, I wrote 'Why All Hell Broke Lose?' : &q

Singaporean commentator: "Anwar is making all the right decisions"

  Malaysians may not heard of Mr Loo Cheng Chuan but he is no stranger to Singaporeans. He is the founder of the 1M65 Movement — the movement to hit $1 million by age 65 — through which he teaches investment strategies to those faithful to this million-dollar goal. By optimising the use of his and his spouse’s CPF funds, he has since updated their goal to be 4M65 — with an eye on 5M65. He achieved multi-millionaire status at the age of 50

Exercise some critical thinking before accusing Hannah Yeoh or the Selangor State Government of nepotism

29 May 2024  A lot of people have been asking me about this case, here is my answer: DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? A poster like this which is already in circulation is a tell-tale sign that this is part of a plot to cause the collapse of the Madani Government.  THE WORD ‘NEPOTISM’ has been stretched too far that I find it incredulous to hear people saying anyone married to a minister should not be given a government contract.           By definition , ‘nepotism’ means “the unfair practice of granting jobs and favours to relatives, often in business and politics.”           That was the reason I did not think that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should bow to pressure from unreasonable people when her daughter, Nurul Izzah was willing to take up a non-paying job to assist her father in the Ministry of Finance (MOF).           Nurul would have done a good job to ensure that all the terms and conditions of agreements issued by MOF are thoroughly vetted through.           For ar
