CHAMELEON
(Siri Ada Apa Dengan PM?)
Bahang PRU makin terasa.
Dah hujung-hujung penggal ni, biasanya pengundi dah makin menyampah dengan PM yang ada.
Itu kita tengok dari zaman Tun M dan Pak Lah. Najib dan Muhyiddin. Sampailah zaman Anwar sekarang.
Biasanya, bila pengundi atas pagar menyampah dengan PM sedia ada, kita akan shopping yang lain pula. Banyak options yang ada.
♦️ PAS dah mula nak Dr Sam, dah angkat dia jadi Ketua Pembangkang.
♦️ Bersatu masih juga ada angan-angan. Namun masih lagi pusing roundabout. Antara Muhyiddin atau Hamzah Zainuddin.
♦️ Bagi pengundi PH yang dah delusional dengan Kerajaan sedia ada. Mereka nak angkat Rafizi Ramli jadi future PM Malaysia. Harapkan RR benam Anwar next pilihan raya.
♦️ Bagi BN pula, mereka mengharapkan comeback UMNO memerintah negara. Ini kalilah, mungkin anak murid mendahului cikgunya.
Begitulah asam garam dunia politik kita.

Saya selalu percaya, bukan mudah jadi PM Malaysia. Kita antara negara yang bukan mono-racial. Kita berbilang bangsa. Dan penduduk majoriti Melayu Islam hanya 58% sahaja. Banyak benda kena buat untuk imbangi kepentingan semua kaum dan bangsa.
Namun yang paling utama, Malaysia ini negara dagang. A trade nation. Makanya, skill diplomasi dan geopolitik sangat penting juga.
PM Malaysia bukan sahaja kena dihormati di Asia Tenggara tetapi punya hubungan dengan pemimpin-pemimpin besar dunia. Kerana untuk “hidup” sebagai negara kerdil, kita kena bijak dan licik tak side mana-mana. Kalau tak, lumat kita dikerjakan mereka.
Ini saya rasa advantage PMX. 3 tahun ini banyak dibuatnya dan mendapat pujian antarabangsa.
🟦 Bilamana dia baik dengan Trump, layan pakcik tu masa Summit ASEAN, sempat menari zapin pula. Ada ketika PMX hentam dengan keras Izrahell dan Netanyahu di PBB dan WTO, US diam sahaja. Tiada kata apa.
🟦 Bila mana Malaysia antara negara pertama yang sign RTA dengan Amerika, stabilkan industri kita. Makanya lepas tu, trade dan RM kita antara terbaik di Asia. Walau RTA dihentam pada mula, namun sebab ia tak ada gigi, dibatalkan oleh Kongres Amerika. Itu tunjukkan kompromi Malaysia berbaloi. Smart move di situ.
🟦 Strategi Malaysia baik dengan Russia dan China melalui BRICS juga berharga. Mengimbangi pengaruh Amerika. Kedua-dua Rusia dan China mengiktiraf Malaysia sahabat baik mereka. Sekarang, masa Malaysia susah, kita nego dengan Rusia dan China bantu kita. Rusia pun dah janji nak bekal minyak.
Tunjukkan fierce neutrality Malaysia ini berjaya.
Dulu zaman 90-an kita baca, Anwar ini seorang chameleon. Dia pandai tukar ikut keadaan. Pada kita, selagi mana beliau bertindak untuk negara dan mendatangkan hasil pula, kita sokonglah. Selagi tak melanggar garis merah.
**************
Now, saya percaya kebarangkalian dia nak sambung penggal kedua, tak adalah tinggi mana. Dengan banyak dasar tidak popular pasal subsidi, dan keputusan yang ramai rasa pelik-pelik, sepenggal itu mungkin.
Cuma, sesiapa pun yang anda harap jadi PM menggantikan dia, pastikan walaupun mereka bukan battle-tested di persada antarabangsa, dia kenalah battle-ready ya.
Kerana di luar sana, bila Malaysia berdepan dengan Trump, Putin, Netanyahu dan Xi Jinping, bukan calang-calang boleh handle mereka.
Nak mereka ikut kemahuan kita, kena tahu kompromi tanpa jadi timid. Kena tahu bagaimana nak campak bargaining chip dengan letak ego ke tepi. Dan yang paling penting dalam mendapatkan apa yang Malaysia perlu, kena terus pertahankan garis merah itu.
Bukan pemimpin kaleng-kaleng boleh buat begitu.
Sang kancil mungkin fikir dia boleh kalahkan buaya. Ketuk-ketuk sahaja kepalanya.
Tapi di luar sana bukan setakat buaya. Naga dan T-Rex pun ada ya. Bersediakah dia?
Doakan Tuhan kurniakan pemimpin terbaik untuk memimpin negara. Kerana dialah wakil nombor satu rakyat Malaysia menghadap dunia.
Salam hormat,

NB — Ini posting pertama dalam Siri “Ada Apa Dengan PM?” Nanti sis rajin minggu ni sis tulis la
🚨🇦🇪🇺🇸 Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.
"Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?"
Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening.
His questions:
* Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure?
* Did you calculate collateral damage before firing?
* You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose
* Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf states. Now we're getting attacked. Where did that money go?
* You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela
* 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized)
* War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total
* Your approval rating's down 9% in 400 days
* Americans were promised peace. They're getting war funded by their taxes
The sharpest line: "Before the ink has dried on your Board of Peace initiative, we find ourselves facing military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go?"
Al Habtoor's not some random critic. He's establishment. Connected. When UAE elites start publicly questioning Trump's decision-making, that's America's closest Arab allies saying "we didn't sign up for this."
The letter ends: "True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace."
@KhalafAlHabtoor
Saya suka bergurau walaupun nampak garang.
Dalam banyak pertemuan dan ‘engagement’ dengan rakan-rakan pimpinan, gurauan itu biasa tapi fokus utama adalah tugas dan amanah.
Terima kasih semua!

Israel and Pakistan 🇵🇰 heated spat at the United Nations Security Council after Israel mentions Pakistan repeatedly by name:
Pakistan SLAMS Israel, says it is an “occupier feigning victimhood, violating UN resolutions and committing state terrorism in Gaza”.
Pakistan further says, “We cannot accept insinuations from an irresponsible rogue state that is, in fact, the perpetrator of the worst kind of state terrorism that we are witnessing in Gaza and, in fact, in the occupied Palestinian territories for decades.”
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.
