Since 1700, Chinese kapitan already been proxy for the British in main city like Penang and KL. Controlling power, assets, land and port in Malaya for almost 200 years.
Wealth accumulated for 200 years of helping British, circulate among the Chinese in the city, and pass the wealth to next generation, hence 'probably' create top 10 rich people of Malaysia.
Basking in the heavenly bliss of Malaysia, untouched by unrest, threats, or bigotry. Yet, now questioning its safety? Perhaps a rethink on your judgment is overdue.
THE ISRAELI
1. The world is now seeing massacre being perpetrated by the Israelis against the Palestinians on their high definition TV screens. Every detail is shown. New born babies dying as electricity is cut off and the oxygen flow to their cribs stopped.
2. Boys and girls wounded and dying being pulled out of collapsed building which had been bombed or rocketed by the Israelis. The wounded are being rushed on stretchers to ruined hospitals. The dead enshrouded with white cloth lying scattered on the ground.
3. The survivors crying and wailing as they hug the bodies of adults, children and women who had been killed.
4. This is not war. We see only Israeli soldiers. No Palestinian soldiers. Only civilians running about frantically as they search for family members who were missing. There may be fighting but it can only be between Israeli soldiers against Palestinian civilian. Yet the bombs and rockets have pulverised the whole city.
5. I cannot believe that this is happening. Long ago when the German Nazis were killing Jews in gas chambers, I felt a great pity for them.
6. I thought that Jews would understand what suffering means. I thought that they would never inflict such suffering on others.
7. But now I and the rest of the world are witnessing Jewish bestiality against the people who gave them asylum when the Europeans oppressed them.
8. Jews fled to Muslim countries when Ferdinand and Isabella reconquered Spain. They, the Jews and the Muslims were given three choices.
9. They could convert to Christianity, or emigrate or be put to death. Most chose to migrate. The Jews had no land of their own. So they migrated to Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Turkey. These were all Muslim countries. They also migrated to Palestine.
10. They survived and some even prospered. The Muslim fellow citizens did not commit pogroms against them.
11. They left these countries only after the state of Israel was created.
12. And since then there were violent wars as the expelled Palestinians tried to regain their land.
13. Do the Israeli remember the holocaust and the Nazis? Do they remember Ferdinand and Isabella giving them the three choices? Do they remember their asylum in the Muslim countries?
14. Apparently they don’t. Not at all if their genocidal war against the Palestinian, their brutality is any indication.

THE PALESTINE-ISRAEL CONFLICT
1. The reactions to the latest hostility between Palestinians and the Israelis actually underscores why the conflict, which has been more than seven decades, would not find a solution.
2. Firstly, the responses that came from powerful Western nations and their apparatus, including their media, are hypocritical, bigoted and pathological.
3. Instead of addressing the conflict for what it actually is, they chose to continue with their deceptive narrative that it is an attack on Israel by terrorists – their blame being obviously against Hamas, the Hezbollah and Iran.
4. With that narrative, they stoke fear in the Western community, claiming that it is an attack on democracy and peace loving people.
5. With that, the US in particular feel justified to extend military support to Israel to “retaliate” against Palestinians attacks.
6. All these are far from the truth. Instead they are outright lies which had been perpetuated unashamedly by Western leaders and their media.
7. The truth is actually very simple.
8. For decades, the Israelis had been committing war crimes, massacres, genocide and unthinkable atrocities against the Palestinians.
9. These are not one-off acts but rather systematically conducted without respite throughout the seven decades.
10. Apart from Palestinian land which the Israelis acquired illegally through unilateral agreements and treaties with former occupiers of Palestine, the Israeli settlers have been forcefully seizing lands and farms belonging to Palestinians.
11. The Palestinians are chased out of their land and any attempt to seek some form of restitution from the Israeli authorities are met with violence backed most times by the Israeli security forces namely the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).
12. The Palestinians, pushed to the corner, while Gaza was turned into an open air prison, attempted sporadic retaliations, which in turn were met with the full force of the IDF with weapons supplied by superpowers in particular the US.
13. This episode is not any different from previous retaliations except that probably this time around they are more focussed with a bit more assistance externally.
14. But the Western powers and their apparatus continue with their lies, with their narratives that the hostility is an act of terror committed by terrorists, ignoring the fact that it is retaliation by a people whose freedom and rights to their land had been forcefully taken away from them.
15. They refuse to view the hostility is committed by freedom fighters who are up against an injustice committed by an apartheid regime which had been perpetrating genocide on the Palestinians.
16. The Western powers and the US are party to apartheid, genocide and crimes against humanity for as long as they support the heinous Israeli regime.
17. With that, any attempt towards finding a just and fair solution for the Palestinians becomes an exercise in futility.
18. In the meantime, the Israelis can be expected to carry out their genocide with impunity and with total disregard of international laws.

SCIENCE AND MATHS
1. Many parents are upset with the decision of Government to stop the teaching of science and maths in English as an option.
2. They feel that it would blight the future of their children.
3. I have always believed that science and mathematics should be taught in English. This is because this field of knowledge is not indigenous. This means that it comes to us not in the Malay language. And largely it comes in the English language.
4. This knowledge has to be translated into Malay. The translators must have a good understanding of the subject and be fluent in English and Malay.
5. Not many people would have this qualification. Besides, new discoveries in science and applications of mathematics are being added almost daily. To translate them would require an army of translators.
6. It is different with other fields of knowledge. In geography and history for example the basic facts hardly ever change. Only the presentation may be different. So the need to translate is quite limited.
7. But with science and mathematics new discoveries and new applications have to be learnt or acquired if the student is going to keep up with the new technologies.
8. For example knowledge of wireless broadcasting twenty years ago is not adequate for dealing with new means of broadcasting today. Updating in the science of communication is almost continuous.
9. If the teaching is in English, all the new knowledge can be learnt directly as most scientific papers are presented in English.
10. The Malay language has developed greatly. But for keeping up with scientific development, borrowing from other languages is essential. We are aware that we borrow a lot from the English language.
11. We understand the national desire to develop our language. But the objective of education is primarily to gain knowledge. We cannot sacrifice knowledge merely because we want to develop our language. Education would be worthless if we are left behind in terms of knowledge which is so essential for our development and progress.
12. So the Government should reconsider the decision to do away with the option to teach science and mathematics in English.
13. Better still let it not be just an option. Let us decide to teach science and mathematics in English.

This region is known as the "coup belt" of Africa. A few things to think about....
- There is a vast abundance of resources including labor, oil, and mineral deposits.
- it's got the highest concentration of western bases on the continent with tiny Djibouti hosting an astounding SEVEN foreign nations.
- it cuts clear across the continent dividing the Northern Africans from the Sun Saharan Africans, a divide easily and often exploited.

PRU 15
1. Pejuang Tanahair yang mengganti Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) kalah dalam PRU 15.
2. Saya sebagai pengerusi Pejuang sedih. Tetapi saya terima pilihan rakyat.
3. Saya harap pihak yang menang akan mendiri Kerajaan Malaysia.
Perundingan pembentukan kerajaan baharu tidak boleh melibatkan @DrZahidHamidi. Beliau tiada lagi keabsahan moral selaku Presiden UMNO dan mesti undur segera. He may be President in name, but he has no moral authority left to decide on behalf of UMNO.
Sedih parti takde akar umbi. PACA pun kena iklan kan. Sebab tu susah bantuan nak sampai kebawah.
Parti tiada akar umbi ni selalunya menang melalui hasutan & sentimen. Bukan khidmat bakti.
"Whether you like it or not, people vote according to their race. In GE14 Malays voted PH even though they didnt like DAP. But because I was a member of PH they were willing to." @melisa_idris speaks to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad @chedetofficial#ConsiderThis https://t.co/6oMihR9aWx
You have been given your chance, some are two terms, some are five terms MP. Became Minister and deputy Minister.
Time for fresh faces. Your time is up.
Cukup-cukup la
Hati-hati apabila mempersoalkan hak keistimewaan orang Melayu. Dalam Perkara 153 Perlembagaan Persekutuan, hanya terdapat 4 kategori rakyat Malaysia yang di bahagikan mengikut kategori iaitu Orang Melayu, Anak Negeri Sabah, Anak Negeri Sarawak dan Kaum-Kaum Lain. 1/
The UK only got its first non-white PM after 301 years (PM created in 1721).
The US got its first non-white president after 220 years.
Australia just got its first non-Anglo-Celtic PM after 121 years.
SG has never had a non-Chinese PM. 57 years.
Malaysia is 59 y/o. Relax.

Election isn't as scary as it’s made out to be. It’s about giving power back to the voters after numerous changes in govt. No reason to delay that. For the sake of the economy and disaster preparedness, better to have a voter mandated govt. Esp as we head into 2023 economy.
