Let's be eagles, set our eyes to the sky and soar high

        Misinformation is aplenty but information like the above is hardly blasted out by the cybertroopers on social media. 

        As a result, people feel depressed. The country's economy is also dragged down as people are trying to save for the tough times. 

        During the 90s, the GDP growth was overheated, resulting in an increase in the bank interests. The interest rate, as I remember, breached the 10% rate. 

        People thought that the economy was doing very well. Spending was high, and market sentiments were good. Everyone thought Malaysia under Dr Mahathir Mohamad was an Asian Tiger until one man, George Soros exposed the fallacy. 

        Years later, when we look back, we realised that Dr. Mahathir had used the country's petrol money to build mega projects, many of which were unsustainable. 

        We are having to pay back in terms of tolls, bankruptcy and bailouts (e.g. his grand Perwaja Steel and his son's MISC), higher costs of maintaining just the airconditioning of these huge office buildings and facilities in Putrajaya. 

        Today, Proton is owned by Geely, a China-based manufacturing plant. 

        Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was one of those who opposed DrM, and he suffered for over two decades. From a prisoner he became the country's tenth prime minister. 

        It is very strange therefore, for people now to forget what he went through in order to get to where he is today. While the rest, the position of premiership came easy, for him, it was through many years of testing. 

        People accept Dr Mahathir's weaknesses, but they are hoping that Anwar can be a superman to be perfect and able to do what everyone expects of him. 

        I support him because he is the first prime minister who goes all out against corruption. Because of his stance, and that of the support of Sultan Ibrahim the King of Malaysia, the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is able to arrest many big guns and the small fries. 

        Anwar is not perfecct, but at least by putting the fundamentals in place, we are seeing investors returning to Malaysia, and see Malaysia differently from what it used to be in the past. Even the ringgit has strengthened itself against the US Dollars. 

        My encouragement to all of us is to be like the eagle: set our eyes to the sky and soar high. Enough of being chicken, pecking on the leftovers on the floor.

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
