A very good article by Mariam Mokhtar

 


Mariam Mokhar's articles I have been following for a long time now. 

        Here is a very good article by Mariam, who writes as the general of the Green Bean army, whatever that means to anyone! Anyway, Mariam, I can't even recall what you call your army because that's not important to me.

        But, the country needs to see a change that we all have yearned for. We continue to be plagued by all sorts of politicians - from frogs to toads, buaya and the sharks, the hypocrites and the Judases. 

        The question is not how the Chinese or the Indians vote. BN knows well that the Chinese and Indians are not important. We have our fair share of bad MPs and State Assemblymen, yet we all know which coalition to vote although we will snub the underperforming or snobbish politicians.  

       The important question is how the Malays and the East Malaysians vote. And if anyone can translate Mariam's article into Malay, that would be great. It would be great for Malaysiakini to provide the Malay version and make it available for free reading. 

        It is time for our fellow Malaysians to stand up for a new Malaysia. Those of us who vote for Pakatan Harapan must still chastise the bad MPs and State Assemblymen, instead of being blind supporters. There is no free lunch for these 'snobbish,' 'syok sendiri' MPs and State Assemblymen, because they know the people will snub them, too. 

        By snubbing them, they will hopefully learn to be more humble and go down to the ground when there is an issue. Former Kepong MP Dr Tan Seng Giaw and even the current MP, Lim Lip Eng earn their Yang Berhormat not only by getting themselves elected but because they know what it means to be with the people.

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 cloc...

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

Image
  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

Image
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...
