<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #2b2b2b; line-height: 24px;">Science journal Nature published an investigation conducted by researchers of the University of Wroc³aw, Poland, that found 48 academic journals offering their editorship to a non-existing individual cooked up by the sting operators (</span><a href="http://www.nature.com/news/predatory-journals-recruit-fake-editor-1.21662" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">‘Predatory journals recruit fake editor’</a><span style="color: #2b2b2b; line-height: 24px;">).</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; line-height: 24px;">And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Gross scientific misconduct, fake data, plagiarism, retractions and faulty experimental designs have become an inseparable part of research publication.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; line-height: 24px;">Suddenly, the hallowed portals of scientific magazines look suspect. There are thousands of ‘scientific’ journals that do not care much about quality research. They merely exist to extract fees from ‘unsuspecting’ authors. Why these authors choose to publish in these ‘predatory’ journals is another question. The journals use the worst possible marketing schemes to publish research, often without scientific rigor or transparency.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The scientific community knew this for years. In 1978-79, professors at Yale and Harvard were at the centre of research fraud that rocked the very ethos of scientific inquiry. In 1989, the US came up with regulations that defined scientific misconduct and laid out a legal procedure to address such allegations. In their research, they found peer review was ineffective against misconduct. But now it looks that even those regulations were not enough.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In his 1942 essay, The Normative Structure of Science, sociologist Robert K Merton analysed the ethos of science. “Four sets of institutional imperatives — universalism, communism, disinterestedness, organised scepticism — are taken together as the ethos of modern science,” wrote Merton. While describing ‘disinterestedness’, he wrote “passion for knowledge, idle curiosity, altruistic concern with the benefit to humanity, and a host of other special motives have been attributed to the scientist.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The quest for distinctive motives appears to have been misdirected.” So, ascientist demonstrates the “willingness to work to extend knowledge, apart from personal benefit”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Merton defined ‘communism’ as the free sharing of one’s discoveries with others. What makes such ‘altruism possible’ is the “reward system of science”. This ‘reward’ comprises a host of things: “honour, position, power and money go to those who make discoveries first — and who claim priority by promptly publishing their findings.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It seems with the growth of aggressive consumerism and the opening up of digital frontiers, only parts of Metron’s ‘reward system for science’ has been the prime focus for many scientists.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In this mad rush to publish for ‘honour, power, position and money’, ‘disinterestedness’ has been given a quiet burial. In fact, predatory journals extend a helping hand to those who care to get on rooftops to shout about a discovery often backed by an invisible industry.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Commercialisation of scientific research has its own issues, as is reflected by ‘code of conduct and best practices guidelines for journal editors’ of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Under the guidelines for ‘commercial considerations’, COPE states, “Journals should have policies and systems in place to ensure that commercial considerations do not affect editorial decisions (e.g. advertising departments should operate independently from editorial departments).”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">While it is not easy to identify fake data or plagiarism, over the years, organisations such as COPE have developed mechanisms to weed out suspicious submissions. The latest revelations unveiled how deep the malaise is.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In the early 2000s, when the ‘no peer review’ journals saw a mushrooming growth, the number of reported cases of scientific misconduct began to grow. Most of these journals only have an electronic avatar, their reach and appeal are deep. Visibility, reach and speed of publication make them an attractive proposition to researchers looking for a place in the sun.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There were watchdogs who kept an eye on them. In January, one of them, a blog that listed “potential, possible, or probable predatory” publishers and journals disappeared. Started in 2010 by University of Colorado librarian Jeffrey Beall, at its prime, the blog evoked fear and controversy in the science publishing community. Its disappearance has dealt a body blow to science misconduct-watchers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; height: auto !important; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The belief within the community is that science will get rid of these bugs. Let’s hope it’s right.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">

We are not interested in truth. A complex reality has been distilled into campaign fodder in election season. Politics is the petrol that can turn such a fire into conflagration.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">when Gobind Singh Deo (DAP-Puchong) posed the question to Finance Minister II Johari Abdul Ghaniwhether Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was a suspect in the probes related to 1MDB led to an heated argument between a minister and lawmaker.At first, Johari said he did not have an answer to that question, but when pressed, told Gobind to meet him outside.This angered the DAP legal bureau chief, who said that he wanted an answer in the House.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life’s most traumatic cemetery is surely the memory of pain, for it is buried but not dead. Neither amnesia nor vengeance is a solution, although the timid find solace in the first and the violent seek options in the second. Individuals, communities, nations have to find the spirit that can liberate them from the bonds of past anguish, to discover a future in a new perspective that is something far more than a distorted reflection of fear.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;">

For most of this term, policy was lost in a swamp. Now, decisions are made to serve as slogans.</span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16.8667px; text-align: justify;">An announcement now is mercenary: to milk the environment for what votes it can bring, and postpone ensuing problems. The timing is determined not by advantage to the people but by thoughts of benefit to the party.</span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16.8667px; text-align: justify;">The dark side of today’s political satire is the evil of corruption. There is a school within the ruling establishment selling the theory that corruption as an election issue has been deflected. This is delusion. The voter is not going to be finessed by the argument that all politicians are corrupt, and so theft of the present lot should be condoned. A jury can punish only the person in the dock, and the present government is on trial in the next electoral court.</span><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16.8667px; text-align: justify;">Jokes are the evidence and the argument in this trial; the voter is both lawyer and judge in the court of the people. But there is some good news for those on trial. The maximum sentence is just five years in wilderness. The next five years will pass as quickly as the last five.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.8667px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2px;"></span><div style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shakespeare, being a genius, got most things right. But, being human, he also got a few things wrong. A rose by any other name does often smell like a weed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One dangerous misnomer is this entity called an intelligence agency. These organisations, a consistent growth industry in every nation whether times are lean or prosperous, are information accummulators. Intelligence may or may not be a by-product of their endeavours. Look no further than the case of the latest American whistleblower, Edward Snowden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">America's spymasters lost this plot long before Snowden broke cover and revealed massive incursions by US and British agencies into private lives. Their rage reflects the fury of impotence, or perhaps incompetence. Snowden did not hit and run. His sting took much preparation: he copied data, and then established contact with Julian Assange's Wikileaks and China, at the very least. Directly or indirectly, China, Russia and Ecuador knew what he was going to do before he moved. CIA, NSA and FBI were blindsided. America's intelligence was shipwrecked in an ocean of information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One would assume, after the Wikileaks fiasco, that there would be alert mechanisms to track any unauthorized transfer of secret data by an insider. Wrong. Neither was there any security firewall between Snowden and either a pest like Wikileaks or a foreign power like China, although both must be equally high on CIA's watch list. If you imagine Snowden landed in Hong Kong by flipping a coin, you must be in kindergarten, still reading fairy tales. Conversely, if you believe China ignored the US demand for extradition because of a typing error in the application, your sense of humour is almost as nuanced as the Chinese official who thought up that whopper. The Chinese ran this operation for precisely as long as they wanted to, or Snowden would never have left Hong Kong, even if he had managed to enter this semi-liberal enclave of an authoritarian state. Snowden's story got top play in local media; and he was accompanied by a Wikileaks executive on his ride to Russia, both impossible without a silent nod from Beijing. Snowden went to Hong Kong because he was certain of a Chinese umbrella. And in Moscow, of a Russian shield. Try boarding a flight a Moscow without a valid visa on your passport. You won't get beyond check-in. Absolutely do not consider making Moscow airport a temporary residence, unless you are certain local police won't put you on the next flight to anywhere. Nor will Ecuador's friendly diplomats drop by to say hello without Kremlin's permission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the moment of writing, Snowden is discovering a few facts of life. Heroes have limited uses when playing cloak and dagger; the dagger can change direction in the switch of a blade. China, Russia and Ecuador were happy to use Snowden in the secret wars that continue below the surface of good relations, but reluctant to damage bilateral business with Washington beyond a point. Big boys like America carry aces up their sleeve when they sit at any table.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For some time now America has been ratcheting up an international offensive against China's invasion of cyberspace. This was high on the agenda of the summit between Barack Obama and Xi Jinping in California earlier this month. China's President kept an admirable straight face while his shadow-security infrastructure timed this double-whammy to a nicety, producing Snowden just when American protests hit a crescendo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While spy fact imitates spy fiction, the world must come to terms with a difficult truth. Privacy, a cornerstone of individual liberty in a free society, now belongs to the past tense. America, the world's largest people-friendly democracy, and China, the world's largest people-friendly dictatorship, have used war as the excuse and technology as the means to monitor the language, and through that the thought process, of any individual they want to target. If other nations, including Russia or India, have not succeeded as spectacularly, it is not for want of trying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Governments know something that idealists are loath to admit: the argument for liberty does not travel very far with the populace when it is positioned against terrorism. The progress towards a free society has been led by a liberal elite that flourishes in the calm of peace, and bends before the hurricane of conflict. Barack Obama turns into George Bush. Obama knows that total information is the dream of every totalitarian, but will not intervene. He is in politics. Politics is about survival first and consequences later. For every Snowden briefly on the front page, and in limbo for the rest of his life, there are dozens defeated by helplessness. That is how a state defines victory over the individual.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 14.7pt; margin: 10.5pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obama invited Xi Jiang for their summit in California to a place called Rancho Mirage. What an excellent title for a sequel to George Orwell's 1984.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Malaysians are, at best, ambivalent about media and politics. They respect our guardians of law, knowledge and security.

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> it has become clear that it is not possible for anyone to offer a meaningful prediction of the eventual outcome. The electorate is too large and diffuse, and the interplay of local and national factors too complex to be amenable to accurate forecasting. Neither the personal and direct experience of seasoned election watchers nor the scientific surveys, of which there is no shortage, seem to be able to produce results that can be relied upon. Pre-poll surveys are now entertainment rather than science, and should be viewed as such.</span></h1>

sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">YB Tony Pua is well-versed in the facts concerning 1MDB, given he is a member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). Thus, it is disappointing to note that he has chosen to misrepresents the facts and has accused me of lying, in his desperate attempts to mislead the rakyat.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">The matter at hand is clear, simple and has been publicly explained, as evidenced in page 81 of the PAC Report on 1MDB.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">The facts are as follows:</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">1. The TRX and Bandar Malaysia lands were originally owned directly by the government. The government made a decision to sell the lands in 2010 and 2013 respectively, to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a holding company 100 percent owned by MOF Inc. 1MDB in turn owned the lands via its 100 percent equity shareholding in two subsidiary companies, ie TRX City Sdn. Bhd. (TRXC) and Bandar Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (BMSB).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">2. It is clear that from the above transactions, the government ownership of the lands shifted from direct to indirect ownership, via MOF Inc ultimate ownership of 1MDB and its subsidiary companies.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">3. Although the Bandar Malaysia land was sold at a nominal sum to BMSB, there was a responsibility to construct/upgrade six bases for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and two bases for the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), for a total development cost of RM 2.7 billion, of which 1MDB had to contribute RM1.6 billion.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">4. Although the TRX land was sold at a nominal sum to TRXC, there was a responsibility to construct infrastructure not only in TRX but also in the surrounding areas, including a vehicular tunnel under Jalan Tun Razak, for a total sum of approximately RM 3 billion.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">5. TRXC and BMSB undertook debts of RM 800 million and RM2.4 billion respectively, to undertake the construction of infrastructure and the six air force/two police bases referred to above. These debts were always attached to the said land when these two companies raised their financing and thus form part of the security for the said debts. In other words, it is an operating debt of these two companies.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">6. With the infrastructure development and planning approvals obtained by TRXC and BMSB from 2010/2013 to the present day, the value of the TRX and Bandar Malaysia lands have increased in value significantly.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">6. The PAC recommended in April 2016 that MOF Inc take over direct ownership of Bandar Malaysia and TRX lands from 1MDB. The most efficient and cost-effective way to achieve this is via a transfer of TRXC and BMSB shares to MOF Inc. So, instead of owning those companies via 1MDB, MOF Inc will directly own BMSB and TRXC, along with all the assets and the operating debts of the respective companies.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">7. The TRXC and BMSB debts will be repaid by future cashflows of these companies as described in page 81 of the PAC Report. Further, whilst TRXC will continue to be 100 percent owned by MOF Inc, it is pertinent to note that a sale and purchase agreement has been executed with a consortium for the sale of 60 percent equity shareholding in BMSB.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">8. More importantly, page 81 of the PAC Report also makes clear that the debts that will remain on the balance sheet of 1MDB are the RM 5 billion sukuk, the US$3.0 billion bond and the 2x US$1.75 billion bonds. These 1MDB debts will be serviced from matching cashflows, as described in the PAC Report. Whilst MOF Inc will not be taking over these 1MDB debts, the substance of the letter of support and guarantee from the government, remains intact, as described in the PAC Report.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 13px;">There is therefore a clear distinction between 1MDB debts, which will not be taken over by MOF Inc, and the BMSB/TRXC project company operating debt, which are part of the assets and liabilities of the company and which will be serviced from the project cash-flows.</span></div>

In the last few weeks, he has shown deft political footwork and has emerged as a new kind of option in the political landscape. The alliance with the DAP gives him just that little edge that might turn out to be decisive, but it isn’t entirely clear as to how deep his support runs. He is a new variation on an old theme, the strength of whose appeal is an open question.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"> a larger uncertainty that both the government and the party are exuding currently. The party seems tentative about the exact proportions in which to juggle its electoral ingredients- how much to back development, what role should race and religion fault lines play, how effective would the plank of nationalism be in GE14 elections, and of course whether to try and ride on 1MDB or to hold back given the uncertainty around its impact on the voter. The government too seems to be in wait-and-watch mode, not giving any clear indication about what its future direction might be. Will it continue it’s wooing of the poor- ‘the tired pro-poor PAS rhetoric’, as it has been described, at the cost of its traditional support base, or will the reform thrust return in any significant way?</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Some things however are a little more certain. Whether or not party hopping will work electorally, what he has achieved however is something potentially not significant in the long run for Hadi Awang It has NOT made him a truly mainstream brand.onlyMuslim voter in Malaysia now knows him and has some personal emotional reaction to him. Money reaches everyone; as a vehicle of a political message it is a more effective advertising medium than any other. It is possible that some or indeed many of these reactions are negative, but he has become the only politician in recent times, after Indira Gandhi to have managed this depth of reach.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"> It is crystal clear to me that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is morbid about non-Malays and non-Muslims winning seats in GE14 and is bent on working with Umno to deny the opposition from getting any further footings from the last election. PAS looks doomed for certain, and that is hardly a surprise, but the real revelation has been that Umno is likely to gain much as a result.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">This Saturday, President Trump, while addressing a rally in Florida, said the following to defend his travel ban for refugees from seven major Muslim countries: “You look at what´s happening in Germany, you look at what´s happening last night in Sweden”. He further added, “Sweden, Who would believe this? They took in large numbers. They´re having problems like they never thought possible.”</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">The fact of the matter is that it is true that Sweden took in a record- breaking large number of refugees last year. Approximately around 160,000 new arrivals to Sweden. Did they have any terrorist attack last Friday? No. These are straight facts. Was Donald Trump referring to Sehwan in Pakistan or Sweden in Scandinavia? Sehwan in Pakistan did witness a terrorist attack in which more than 70 people lost their lives at a famous Sufi shrine. Malaysiakini an unconscious sense of superiority</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Fact checking is the new fashionable word added to our political lexicon, used in the modern world for justifying one’s point of view. Those who fought the campaign for President Trump and his supporters feel that it was outrageous when, just a day before the presidential election, The Huffington Post published a presidential forecast, predicting that Hillary Clinton had a 98.2% chance of winning the election. Mildly speaking, this turned out to be incorrect.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;"> contrast to the spiritual experience, the political world gets complicated by facts, such as who presents it, for what purpose and with what particular affiliation. Questioning strengthens journalism, makes it highly relevant and interesting, but when facts are presented without consulting the source or substantiating them with verifiable facts, it raises concern.Wouldn´t it be nice if some journalist, somewhere in the West, bothers to check an alternative fact: The United States and its allies were dragged into a war in Afghanistan, trying to catch Osama Bin Laden and his Al Qaeda supporters, who were probably hiding in Pakistan? After having donated 20 billion dollars during the period 2002 till 2011 to Pakistan, Americans truly became aware of the double-game played by that country. Osama Bin Laden was not in Afghanistan, he was in Pakistan. American tax payers paid for an expensive war in Afghanistan, while donating money to the country that was actually housing the terrorist. A bitter truth, a bitter pill to swallow for a country that spends billions of dollars to research and investigate terrorism.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Since ages, we have been witness to an incessant face off between faith and logic. European enlightenment exposed certain flaws in blind faith and ushered in an era of rationality, and logic became the dominant paradigm.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Detractors of PAS' proposed amendments to Act 355 do not fear the law itself, but the unity of Muslims who back it and the "victory" of Islam that would ensue, said Nik Mohamad Abduh Nik Aziz.with it the future of the ‘Pivot to PAS’ policy Najib and UMNO had instituted has Malaysia been pushed into uncertainty.PAS youth chief said : "They do not fear the amendments to the act per se.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Najib’s historic Malaysians asks a question that repeatedly withers on the dry sand of evasive clichés. How long will the apartheid of two laws for the same crime continue?Another barbaric chapter of an epic conflict between the presence and promise of modernity, and the bitter, toxic romance of regression was written by Najib and Hadi </span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"></span><span style="background-color: white;">Neither goes into a brown study to ponder the causes of political terrorism, a manipulative phrase designed specifically to provide cover for perpetrators of political terrorism Neither the Chinese nor Hindus public opinion would accept such a pussyfoot leadership.This war, raging across the world, is a confrontation between the lethal adrenalin of faith supremacy and belief that faith equality is the basis of civilised political and social stability. The epicentre of this war is within the Muslim successor states of the Mughal and Ottoman empires; but its destructive reach extends far beyond its immediate habitat.Corruption is the mechanism through which a section of our elite has poisoned the credibility of our nation’s political and economic edifice. Governments have been either complicit or helpless as high end individuals, buoyed by the arrogance of unaccounted wealth, began to believe that they were above the law or beyond the reach of coercive instruments.Nothing illustrates the complacency of this class more than the manner in which it ignored we underestimate the power of those vested interests which have been challenged. Their ability to shape public opinion by compounding some inevitable pain in process through exaggeration and fear was on full display. But they underestimated one fact that voters to assault this pervasive monsters with sustainable commitment. that Malaysians are not willing to accept passing discomfort as the collateral price of the struggle against the rampant PAS fanaticism. This is why such a massive change to take place without violence. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almost 70pct of our population are Muslim. Over 90pct of ministers and CMs are Muslim so you already have the powerPAS has turned Islam into a religion of fear and intimidation. There is no difference between the ideologies of Islamic terrorists like Taliban, Abu Sayyaf and Isis, and that of PAS Act 355 is an attempt to intimidate and mislead gullible Muslims into supporting PAS and Umno, who would otherwise be accused of apostasy. Act 355 is nothing more than an instrument to impose severe punishment on wrongdoers.A true religion seeks to be merciful and forgiving towards sinners, to give them hope, rather than to punish. It was once said by a great man, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at the sinner.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's a bad idea to get elected on a racial basis. It's just as bad to get elected on religious basis.What Hadi is in effect saying is that Malaysia must be an Islamic state notwithstanding the ideology of our Founding Fathers nor the fact that the economy of the nation is dependent to a large extent on the efforts of non-Muslims.PAS that Umno has been responsible for our racial and religious intolerance, the use of race and religion as political tools, the destruction of the rule of law and ethical conduct, promoting a culture where corruption and greed are acceptable values, failure to hold people to account for their crimes, a preferential and entitlement mentality, destruction of our education system, the breeding of utterly incompetent politicians,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PAS also seems to be totally blinded to the contributions of the East Malaysians where a significant percentage of the people are non-Muslims. Does Hadi want to turn Malaysia into a Syria, Iraq, Iran or Yemen?God does not need you or tiny mortals to fight for him or defend him because he is the supreme, all-powerful, infinite soul who fills out the infinite universe and you are just a speck of dust consisting of a tiny finite soul that fills out a tiny finite body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both culminates into discrimination against other religions and other races, makes the majority of people in this country less tolerant, making Malaysia less welcoming, and makes us less prominent in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hadi, now you admit that gerrymandering is rampant. Why then did you prohibit your members from participating in Bersih 5 which demanded for free and fair elections?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Umno and PAS are both dinosaurs in an age where Internet technology is revolutionising the way we solve global problems, transact and interact with one another.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Often, people make a mistake and then add to it by making yet another mistake: by trying to justify their mistake. But what they should actually do on making a mistake is reflect on and seek to discover why they made that mistake in the first place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don’t do that and, instead, you seek to justify your mistake after committing it, you remain just where you were before. On the other hand, if you seek to find out why you made that mistake, you will save yourself from repeating it.This is a natural fact. It is reflected in a hadith, narrated from Anasibn Malik, according to which the Prophet said, “Every person commits sin, and the best of those who commit sin are those who repent.” (IbnMajah, hadith no. 4251) The fact is that no human being possesses total knowledge. Because of this, people often adopt wrong views and opinions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are often errors in their plans. The virtue of human beings is not that they are immune from making mistakes. Rather, their virtue lies in their being willing to acknowledge their mistakes and to bring their actions into conformity with reality.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aperson who does not acknowledge his mistakes has to pay the price of continuing to remain stuck in his wrong approach. Accordingly, he deprives himself of confidence, because he chooses to remain in that groove even though he recognises that it is wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moreover, his actions cannot produce meaningful results, and his plans will fail to produce the results that he seeks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Tengku Adnan, turning Penang into a federal territory can help make home ownership affordable. If the Federal Territories under his watch is anything to go by, Kuala Lumpur has more soup kitchens and vagrants than most states in Malaysia, including Penan</span></div>

The epicentre of this war is within the Muslim successor states of the Mughal and Ottoman empires; but its destructive reach extends far beyond its immediate habitat.Corruption is the mechanism through which a section of our elite has poisoned the credibility of our nation’s political and economic edifice. Governments have been either complicit or helpless as high end individuals, buoyed by the arrogance of unaccounted wealth, began to believe that they were above the law or beyond the reach of coercive instruments.Nothing illustrates the complacency of this class more than the manner in which it ignored we underestimate the power of those vested interests which have been challenged. Their ability to shape public opinion by compounding some inevitable pain in process through exaggeration and fear was on full display. But they underestimated one fact that voters to assault this pervasive monsters with sustainable commitment. that Malaysians are not willing to accept passing discomfort as the collateral price of the struggle against the rampant PAS fanaticism. This is why such a massive change to take place without violence. </span></div>

Oriental metaphysical thoughts like the Advaita Vedanta are expounded on as rational a ground as metaphysics could ever be. But at a certain point, they have to forsake logic due to its inherent limitations and enter a realm where tools of logic are no longer applicable and things have to be taken on faith. To understand these limitations, we have to first understand the nature and mechanism of logic.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; height: auto !important; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
Logic is a continuous build up, a rearrangement of propositions known as elementary or object propositions. These propositions, which we call ‘facts’, are based on direct perceptual knowledge, or empiricism. These elementary building blocks of the logical process hinge upon the validity of human perception and are limited by the latter’s scope and validity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; height: auto !important; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px;">
That’s why theories such as the geocentric theory or even Newtonian mechanics that were once accepted as empirical truths were later discarded when such perceptions were invalidated in light of newer revelations of modern science.</div>

<div style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;">
The Absolute cannot be achieved through either thought or language. As Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who came nearest to proving the futility of all logical speculations to attain the Supreme Truth, confirms, the world is not what it is, but what we think it is</div>

The epicentre of this war is within the Muslim successor states of the Mughal and Ottoman empires; but its destructive reach extends far beyond its immediate habitat.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">The warriors of this Islamic jihad are the masked vanguard of a movement that found its spurs in the 19th century, when the last two Muslim empires, the Mughal and the Ottoman, began to wither and then die. Behind the masks is a supply chain that, like all religious extremism, is magnetised by inspiration beyond the control of boundaries.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">The rationale for contemporary Islamist violence was first provided by two doctrinaires, Shah Waliullah in Mughal Delhi and Muhammad ibn Abd-al Wahhab in Ottoman Arabia. They were born in the same year, 1703, and watched a historic comfort zone crumble. Their prescription (restricted for Sunni Muslims) was simple and stern: Allah had not abandoned Muslims; Muslims had forsaken Allah.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Muslims had slipped into decadence, compromising purity of practice in prayer and trust in the sharia; their behaviour and dress had been corrupted by other cultures, whether it was Hinduism in India or the growing influence of Europe among Ottoman elites.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Their rulers no longer believed in the supremacy of Islam, chosen by God as the final testament for this world. The umma no longer displayed the courage to grow a religious beard, proclaim the faith, or pick up the sword — or a gun in Paris, a bomb in Peshawar — in defence of Islam.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Ironically, this revisionism went against innumerable tenets of the Quran, which advocate acceptance of other faiths, particularly “people of the Book”, and explain why Christian communities like the Yazidis continued to live in Muslim Iraq for 1,400 years until the supremacists of ISIS began their rape, pillage and murder of the “infidel”.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">But as a sense of loss, and fear of the future, intensified, the ideas of exclusivity, separation and dream of dominance began to gather momentum in the 20th century.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">A decisive battle between modernity and regression was fought on the Indian subcontinent before 1947. The Muslim League used, often and provocatively, the rhetoric of superiority in its pursuit of separation.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Mahatma Gandhi offered the counter-narrative, that true strength lay in faith equality, not faith supremacy. For him, dharma represented the underlying truth common to every religion. The singular duty of the state was to enshrine freedom of faith as a basic right; the citizen was enjoined to treat every faith with equal respect.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">In a marvellous message, Gandhi urged that the Gita should be read with the eye of a Hindu and the Quran with the eye of a Muslim: with sympathy, not invective. Swami Vivekananda, who sought India’s resurgence through India’s unique philosophy, was equally forth-right: if you were born a Hindu, he said, be a good Hindu; if born a Muslim, be a good Muslim, and that would make both good Indians.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">It might seem anachronistic to those who confuse a loincloth with the primitive, but Gandhi’s great contribution was to construct a modern framework for the post-colonial Indian state — Gandhi wore the loincloth to identify with the impoverished and starving peasant, not to offer a model for the future.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">What is modernity? It has four non-negotiable pillars: democracy, which is impossible without free speech; freedom of faith; gender equality; and economic equity, through which the poor are the principal beneficiaries of economic growth.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Nations that deviated from this model are paying an existential price. From Pakistan to the north of Africa, there is a gathering wasteland of countries which, for one reason or another, cherry-picked between the four essentials. Their governments are not in control. Militias and shadow armies have filled this vacuum, the most powerful of which operate in a loose alliance under the banner of terrorist theocracy.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Turkey, in contrast, became a success story because its 20th-century saviour Mustafa Kemal rejected the Caliphate, and wrenched his nation out of the looming trap of faith supremacy. Courageously, he defused the very symbol of Muslim conquest, Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, a great Byzantine church turned into a mosque in the 15th century. Ataturk converted it into a museum.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">For two centuries, revivalism was in search of geography; with the creation of Pakistan, its progeny Taliban Afgha-nistan, and now the Islamic State in Iraq, there are sanctuaries for continuing generations of jihadists. Their targets, governments and people invested in peace, are trapped by questions they often fear to raise, worried by consequences. For how long can they prevent rage from becoming outrage? How do we manage the tipping point?</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">As Gandhi said, an eye for an eye will leave us all blind. Principles are vulnerable in pursuit of barbarians. But we must also defeat the enemy before it destroys us. That is the challenge.</span></div>

He was taken to the Menara Medical Clinic, a small glass-fronted surgery one floor down near the arrivals area.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He still felt unwell there, so they decided to send him to the hospital, and he died in the ambulance on the way to Putrajaya Hospital," said Ahmat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Media reports said the two women fled the airport in taxis.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The government source declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the case.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Malaysian officials have publicly released little about the killing. Indeed, it was 36 hours after the murder before they acknowledged it had happened, and then only after the news was broken by South Korean media.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Malaysian police said on Wednesday they had arrested a woman with a Vietnamese travel document as she was trying to take a flight from the same terminal. According to local media, this was the same woman whose image was captured in a grainy airport CCTV image wearing a white shirt with the acronym 'LOL' on it.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A second woman, who was holding an Indonesian passport, was also identified from CCTV footage and detained on Thursday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Vietnam has said it is investigating. Indonesia has confirmed the second arrested woman was an Indonesian national and is seeking consular access to her.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A third suspect, apparently a boyfriend of one of the women, has also been taken into custody, Malaysian police said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's like a mystery novel," said a foreign diplomat in Kuala Lumpur who is closely following developments, which have included comments by South Korean officials that Pyongyang agents were behind the killing, and now the arrest of two women carrying passports from South-East Asian countries.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many key details about the brazen attack on Kim Jong-nam are still unclear, particularly information about the two arrested women and whose orders, if any, they were following.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">North Korea has made no public comment on the killing, and calls, an email and a fax message to its embassy in Malaysia were unanswered. A source in Beijing with ties to the North Korean and Chinese governments told Reuters that Pyongyang was not involved and had no motive for killing Kim Jong-nam.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Malaysian police and the government source's accounts of what happened in the departure hall contradicted early media reports that Kim Jong-nam had been poisoned by injection with a needle.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An autopsy began on Wednesday and is still ongoing, a senior police officer said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When asked if he could confirm that a woman with the Vietnamese documents was the one seen wearing the 'LOL' T-shirt, state police chief Abdul Samah Mat said: "We are investigating to confirm that."</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Local media identified her as the main attacker.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Manhunt for four accomplices</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The sources said Kim Jong-nam - travelling under the name of Kim Chol - had flown on Feb 6 from Macau to the Malaysian capital, which he visited often because he had friends there. He was booked on a return flight with the low-cost airline AirAsia on Monday, the day he died.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Police are looking for four foreign men they believe worked with the two women, the government source said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The entire team involved in the attack landed in Malaysia - although it was not clear where from - some days before the attack, checked into a hotel near the airport and monitored their target's movements, the government source said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two employees of the help desk Kim Jong-nam approached declined to discuss the incident when asked by Reuters reporters, several people working at the Starbucks cafe said they had seen nothing unusual that morning, and the medical centre's receptionist said she could not confirm that he had been brought into the clinic.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The government source said the woman whose documents showed the Vietnamese name of Doan Thi Huong told police that the group split up after the incident and had not seen each other since.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The woman said she hadn't been aware that she was killing someone, but the source said police doubt that and believe it was a well-planned operation.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CIA intelligence about Putin’s interference in elections is considered dubious by many commentators. Masha Gessen, a critic of both Putin and Trump, writing in the New York Review Daily (’Russia, Trump & Flawed Intelligence’, goo.gl/fOM7fG) pointed out that the US intelligence report on the role Russia and Putin had allegedly played was hardly convincing as no proof had been given.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Donald Trump, owner of Trump Organization, is now the president of the United States. In his journey to the White House, Trump tore the playbook of those have been used to wielding real power in the US — the kingmakers and dynasts from Wall Street, the East and West Coast notables. The campaign was ugly and divisive, of a kind never seen in the US. Then the disgruntled elite turned against Trump even after the results were announced. Clearly a case of bad losers.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, no, I don’t mean not doing good that way. That way I’m fine. I meant I’m not doing good because of all these darned critics and what they’re saying about me. First that Hollywood dame, Meryl Creep, or whatever, says those nasty things about me, then all these women go on protest marches against me saying I’m racist and sexist. Heck, I don’t even know what those words mean, so how can I be them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There were campaign letters in August 2016 opposing Trump by about 50 former intelligence officers, including a former head of the National Security Agency (NSA) andthe Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), a former Director of National Intelligence (DNI), two former Homeland Security secretaries. Later in October, 55 retired general officers of the military signed a statement describing Trump as being “utterly unworthy of being commander-in-chief and president”.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And there were the bizarre stories about Trump in Moscow and his ‘bromance’ with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Earlier this month, outgoing CIA chief John Brennan warned on public television that Russia had interfered in US elections, continued to undermine democracy in many countries, was engaged in manipulating elections in Europe and that this was not acceptable.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To Russia Without Love</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The report alleged that Putin was seeking revenge against Hillary Clinton for her role in inspiring a popular unrest against him in 2011-12. The 25-page report had three key judgments where the agencies assessed that the Russian president had ordered an influence campaign aimed at the US presidential election.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That this campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blended covert intelligence operations (including cyber) with overt efforts by Russian agencies, state-funded media, third-party intermediaries and paid social media users. And third, the agencies assessed that Moscow would apply lessons learnt worldwide especially against America’s allies.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last December, President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats on unproven charges of hacking by Moscow. This evoked no reaction from Putin but came at the end of a year when relations with Russia had begun to freeze rapidly. Earlier in October, Obama used his red email hotline with Putin alleging that if hacking in an election year did not stop, there would be reprisals. Paradoxically, the hotline was meant to prevent wars, not to threaten them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Accusations against Putin may or may not be true. It is not unusual for major powers to intervene in such situations. US intelligence had publicly warned about ‘evil Russian designs’, but they were unable to preempt or prevent this. The hacking is believed to have ended on November 8.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beginning early last year, there were several commentaries about how Putin was reviving the KGB. Although the KGB had been wound up, Putin, himself an old KGB hand, preferred its style of functioning and was reviving old agencies or creating new ones. The implication was that Putin was reverting to Cold War tactics against the US. Russian intelligence operations against Americans by the internal service FSB (Federal Security Service) had also reportedly increased in the last three years.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Other Reasons for Hate</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The US wishes to be seen as being threatened by the Russians for a number of other reasons. It was knocked out of much relevance in Afghanistan when Russia, China and Pakistan met in December last year without the US to discuss the country’s future. The Russians have similarly outsmarted the US in Syria when their military defeated US-backed proxies in Aleppo. It would now seem that the US is going to be out of reckoning in most of West and Central Asia. This turf increasingly belongs to China and Russia. Hence the bogey of Russia, something probably more manageable than China.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Besides, the Deep State of America — the US military-industrial-technology-intelligence complex — has to retain relevance and profits. New weapons are being paraded, such as the the next secret weapon, electromagnetic pulse artillery shells that can apparently paralyse cities by cutting off all communication links without damage to property and lives. Or the next superstealth weapon that is ‘neither a helicopter nor an aircraft’.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The F-35s and F22s will get Artificial Intelligence to control nearby drones equipped with weapons, test enemy air defences and perform intelligence functions. These upgrades need to be sold, for which the country needs enemies and repeated wars while heightened threat perceptions help purchases.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The evolving Russian threat is the diversion and US troops have recently been dispatched to Poland and Norway to make the threat appear realistic. Considering President Trump’s statements in his inaugural speech it appears that he and his Cold Warriors are on a collision course. Who will blink first?</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;">A plea for ‘alternative facts’: When truth is singular it becomes a territory and thus, a battlefield PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang's stance not to cooperate with any parties that have relations with DAP and Parti Amanah Negara has by default voided cooperation with PKR,in principle, the cooperation between PAS and PKR is void based on the position taken by the PAS president,<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 18.2px;">‘tail strategy’ has fallen into a tailspin. As ideas go, this had its merits for a party desperate to earn any dividend from divided opposition parties. Bersatu recognised that UMNO was a spent force, and its only hope lay in becoming an attachment to any party ready to accept it as an appendage. Votaries of this theory must have congratulated themselves with the prospect that if UMNO could lengthen with vindictive, manupulitive, and vengeful Umno the tail with disparate alliances, one bright morning the tail would become long enough to wag the dog </span><span style="color: #444444;">Individual dynamics require special circumstances, not to mention the heavy propulsion of hidden political boosters. Mahathir succeeded because he had terribly long arms; he held the PAS by one hand, and the Anwar by the other, while he reinvented himself as an honest politician, sympathetic to Malay concerns. It required too much heavy engineering and the end product was so unstable that it kept Malay politics off-balance for a decade.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.48px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">History does not repeat itself, but does it imitate itself? The answer will take a while.Umno is unfazed about defectors from their party joining the newly formed Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu), the biggest advocates of this game</span></span><br />

But it’s important to talk, to move forward…to know that you’re not the only one.”<br />Subbiah, a short, soft-spoken man with a slight British accent, said he’s prepared to return to Malaysia, where he has not lived since 1980.<br /><br />“I’m ready to leave, sir,” he told Laut at Monday’s hearing.<br />Malaysian officials have already approved a flight permit for him, the hearing was told.<br />There was no mention of whether he would walk free in Malaysia or be turned over to law enforcement officials ther<br /><br />One victim who spoke to the Star said it’s important for the public to see Subbiah’s face now.<br />“I believe the Malaysia public should be fully aware,” she said. “Every border should have his picture.”<br />Another said she hopes she can finally relax when Subbiah has finally been deported.<br />“It’s still sort of a presence,” she said. “Maybe the day after he’s finally gone, I’ll maybe celebrate with a glass of wine.”<br />Subbiah arrived in Canada in 1980 but never obtained permanent resident status. He was granted student and visitor’s visas, and claimed to have studied divinity at McMaster University and Ryerson Polytechnical Institute, but did not graduate from any post-secondary course.<br />He married two women, one of whom fled the country to escape abuse, the hearing heard.<br />In 1992, he was convicted at the first of two trials that would ultimately see him sentenced to 24 years in prison for 19 counts of sexual assault, 28 counts of administering a drug or noxious substance, 10 counts of various kinds of assault and a dozen other charges, including extortion.<br />At the time of his sentencing, Justice David Humphrey ordered police to accompany Subbiah back to his native Malaysia and give police there his extensive criminal file when his prison term was complete.<br />His criminal file sat before him on Monday and appeared to be more than a foot high.<br />When he was denied parole in 2016, Subbiah was told “you continue to struggle in the areas of victim empathy, remorse and your inability to take full responsibility for your personal choices which results in your lack of mitigation in risk.”<br />He made no comment at that hearing.<br />Subbiah committed several of his crimes while posing as a model agent or movie talent scout, often using the names Richard Wild and Ryan Hunter. Occasionally, he also posed as a professional dancer, a lawyer or a diplomat. He also lured women to the basement of his home on Macdonnell Ave. through ads offering to sell exotic pets.<br />He would offer them a drink laced with drugs, then rape them and take photos of their naked bodies while they were unconscious.<br />One victim who spoke with The Star said he was polished when he attacked her, some 33 years ago.<br />“I remember him being smooth, well-practiced,” she said. “He was practiced already, in ’84 or ’85.”<br />His trial heard that he was carrying a black book containing the names of 170 women, rated on a scale of 0 to 10, when police arrested him on<br />The real change has been the conversion of covert fantasy into a sense of overt acquisition, which has been aided by a new sense of power and its legitimacy. The implicit restraints that had been put in place socially have been dismantled, and power in its new form begs to be converted into opportunity. The primacy of desire means that the eye is always hungry, avid in its quest for acquisition, and any action is seen to lack consequences that cannot be reversed or managed through the use of some form of power. The brute force of power has replaced the unwritten rules that governed behaviour as the primary arbiter of our actions. Currently, we live in a world between rules — those of an earlier era do not apply and new codes have not been framed or agreed to. The responsibility shifts to the enforcement of the law, but this is deeply compromised by the fact that the process is managed by those that cannot fully comprehend the meaning of the changes that we see around us.<br />The change in the gender climate that can be seen around us needs to be understood differently for something fundamental has changed. Women have always been subject to violence in a variety of ways, but both the frequency and the nature of this violence seem to be escalating. One of the key aspects of the horrific Mumbai gang rape is that it happened in the middle of the day, in the heart of town, in the bustling city of Mumbai, even if the location itself was secluded. The underlying assumption is that daylight, busy streets and male company are somehow guarantors of safety. The truth is that the real problem is that increasingly, what were once signs of safety, are now the sources of danger. The idea of the ‘public’ being a provider of safety is rooted in the comforting feeling that any crime and misdemeanour will raise an outcry if it happens in public. In so many incidents of this kind, we find the opposite to be true. Whether it was the Assam pub case, where a young girl was molested, or the experiences of the American student that have recently gone viral, the problem that women in Malaysia face stems from the very public that is deemed to provide safety.<br /> This is true of all behaviour but particularly true in the case of gender. Unless bad behaviour carries with it a social cost, other forms of deterrence will always struggle to make an impact. We have had enough of recrimination — what we need is a constructive conversation about creating social mechanisms that reinforce the newer meanings of gender today, in a way that is inclusive.This is true of all behaviour but particularly true in the case of gender.

In the recent past, he stupidly called on the people & the Chinese to give their wholehearted support to Najib & BN!! Now he wants to suppprt MM as opposition leader?? Next, is he going to ask the people to support Hadi Awang & PAS?? the good people wants to believe you are sincere to fight for a better country for all Malaysians.but Shut up Zaid. Loose cannon don't know how to toe the party line. Even just joining a party must make a big fanfare of it. Why cannot do things quietly without big publicity? If not for you being a Malay, I doubt DAP would even bother with you. Just window-dressing.don't behave like a Prima Dona, submerge your pride, be humble, talk less and work more don't say say the Opposition is leaderless. there should be room for DAP members to express their views. This is part of democracy. I don't think it is right to stop Zaid Ibrahim from expressing his views.Barely 72 hours after joing DAP, Zaid Ibrahim appears to have ruffled feathers in the party with his remarks.</span></div>

<br />The unknown factor in DAP is the emergence of as a brand in his own right. In the last few weeks, he has shown deft political footwork and has emerged as a new kind of option in the political landscape. The alliance with the DAP gives him just that little edge that might turn out to be decisive, but it isn’t entirely clear as to how deep his support runs. He is a new variation on an old theme, the strength of whose appeal is an open question.<br /> a larger uncertainty that both the government and the party are exuding currently. The party seems tentative about the exact proportions in which to juggle its electoral ingredients- how much to back development, what role should race and religion fault lines play, how effective would the plank of nationalism be in GE14 elections, and of course whether to try and ride on 1MDB or to hold back given the uncertainty around its impact on the voter. The government too seems to be in wait-and-watch mode, not giving any clear indication about what its future direction might be. Will it continue it’s wooing of the poor- ‘the tired pro-poor PAS rhetoric’, as it has been described, at the cost of its traditional support base, or will the reform thrust return in any significant way?<br /><br />Some things however are a little more certain. Whether or not party hopping will work electorally, what he has achieved however is something potentially not significant in the long run for Hadi Awang It has NOT made him a truly mainstream brand.OnlyMuslim voter in Malaysia now knows him and has some personal emotional reaction to him. Money reaches everyone; as a vehicle of a political message it is a more effective advertising medium than any other. It is possible that some or indeed many of these reactions are negative, but he has become the only politician in recent times, after Indira Gandhi to have managed this depth of reach.<br /> It is crystal clear to me that PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang is morbid about non-Malays and non-Muslims winning seats in GE14 and is bent on working with Umno to deny the opposition from getting any further footings from the last election. PAS looks doomed for certain, and that is hardly a surprise, but the real revelation has been that Umno is likely to gain much as a result.<br /><br />So, what possibilities and avenues are there left for DAP, PKR and Bersatu to work with PAS to deny BN's victory when the Islamic party has brazenly declared that they are all-out to ensure a Muslim victory and that includes working with Umno?<br /><br />Amanah leader Husam Musa's recent claim that Hadi's PAS is all for three-cornered fights in order to deny DAP or opposition winning seats is very real indeed, even though they have not an iota of chance to win these seats.<br /> Please explain, Hadi, why did PAS only win 21 seats out of the 73 parliamentary seats that it contested?The lion's share of the parliamentary seats was given to your party and you failed to even win half of the seats you contested against Umno-BN. Is that the fault of the non-Muslims?<br /><br />In fact, PAS would have done worse without the support of Chinese and Indian voters. Truth be told, even among Muslim voters they do not trust PAS and its brand of politics.<br /><br />Otherwise, why did the rural and semi-urban Muslim voters reject PAS overwhelmingly in favour of Umno?<br /><br />What Hadi is saying is that DAP and PKR must sacrifice their mixed urban seats to PAS because PAS cannot win with Muslim votes alone. Why should the other parties make this sacrifice?<br /> PAS has only 25 seats because it had lost many seats which it had contested. The 89 seats in the opposition camp are the actual seats won, and not the number of seats PAS contested.<br /><br />In the seats negotiation for the last general election, PAS had demanded for seats but failed to deliver. Now Hadi is using the discrepancy in the seats to justify his claim. If only PAS can translate contested seats into actual seats in Parliament.Do not blame others for PAS’ failure to win more seats. Hadi’s argument shows his stupidity as well that of those who agree or follow him.It’s hard to believe he is so revered among his kind, but then fanatics and zealots have shown to be dim-witted throughout history.PAS agenda is simple. Win power to impose Islamic rule. Their mission is clear and their priority is to make sure their interpretation of Islamic rules is applied to all aspects of economy and society.<br /><br />If only they can replace parliamentary democracy with their version of one-party state. PAS doesn't believe in diversity and political inclusion. It's their way or no other way. If they lose, it’s fine; they will capitalise on the downfall of BN.It's now up to voters. Given the increasing number of Muslim voters in the years to come, PAS can afford to wait. They could possibly hope for the collapse of secular politics.It’s an irony the more they court PAS, the more mileage these bigots will end up with. That's a double-edged sword for all.If you want 40 seats, you must also win the support of non-Muslims. Forget about DAP whom you have been fighting with. What is your pledge for the non-Muslim voters?<br /><br />You want to enhance syariah punishment or ensure accountability, transparency, integrity, and efficiency? What about the 1MDB, RM2.6 billion and MO1 (Malaysian Official 1) issues?<br /><br />Mushiro: What is the use of ensuring Muslim clout in Malaysian politics if most of these Muslim leaders that PAS endorses are very corrupted, kleptomaniacs, murderers, thieves and cheats?<br /> when will Hadi and politicians who think like him realise that good governance is not based on religion and race?This country ought to be governed by people who do not think about their racial origin or religious beliefs in all decision makings. Only then, the question of imbalance in representation would not arise.<br /><br /><div>

<span style="font-family: proxima nova, helvetica neue, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Nor Mohamad has never pointed the finger at Mahathir or implicated the older man.

<br />
In an interview with New Straits Times and Utusan Malaysia, the 64-year-old shared the workings of the Bank Negara forex operations, claiming that there was no proper documentation of the huge transactions.<br />
<br />
Only a top central banker and a junior staff had a record of all the deals, claimed Murad.<br />
<br />
The losses, he added, valued at RM44 billion at the current exchange rate, were “real money that went down the drain”.<br />
<br />
“It means that our (forex) reserves in US dollars, British pounds and Japanese yen all went down the drain.<br />
<br />
“It disappeared just like that... This is accumulated losses over several years.”<br />
<br />
Claiming that there was no control over the matter, Murad said nobody knew what was happening at the time.<br />
<br />
“The most important thing is that there was no investigation at all. You lost US$10 billion, but there was no investigation.<br />
<br />
“The police or the Anti-Corruption Agency (now the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) did not come. No one came to investigate,” he said.<br />
<br />
As a central bank, Bank Negara’s role was not to speculate in the forex market and was supposed to only intervene to smoothen the movement of the ringgit, added Murad.<br />
<br />
“There are two things, one is speculation and another is reserve management. Reserve management is moving your assets. It’s a real thing and real assets... if you want to invest in Treasury bills, government bonds.”<br />
<br />
“That’s the role of Bank Negara - the real assets. But what they did was (pure) speculation.”<br />
<br />
'Bank gave conflicting data'<br />
<br />
Bank Negara, he further claimed, had given conflicting and confusing data when put under scrutiny over its purported dubious activities.<br />
<br />
“It’s a big loss, but there is no investigation. Bigger than other cases. Why was there a cover-up? The truth must prevail.<br />
<br />
“It is not easy to conceal a dead elephant... the carcass is just too big for the hole. We are not talking about a chicken.”<br />
<br />
Murad, therefore, wants the authorities to reopen the case.<br />
<br />
“They should and I’m willing to cooperate. The records are more than 20 years old and might have been eaten by termites... The dealings were done here.”<br />
<br />
The New Straits Times reported that Murad’s claims were expected to cause a political stir and renew calls for a thorough probe into the losses, which occurred during the tenure of Dr Mahathir Mohamad as prime minister.<br />
<br />
Bank Negara, by 1994, had conceded that it had lost as much as RM15 billion. It had betted heavily against US billionaire and infamous currency trader George Soros on the pound sterling.<br />
<br />
However, the central bank eventually lost the gamble and Soros emerged as the victor, earning him Mahathir’s ire.<br />

UMNO confidence lies in its brilliant management of the most important gene in democracy’s biology. It consolidated its vote, while PAS dissipated its support.

Hadi has consistently rejected co-operation with DAP in the 14th general election,DAP is predominantly made up of non-Muslim members while Bersatu is the converse.PKR, which has a balance of Muslim and non-Muslim members, is maintaining talks with PAS in hopes to forge a political pact between Pakatan Harapan, Bersatu and PAS.<br />Rafizi said there are two possible scenarios in the next general election. It is either 130: 92 or 96:126 Barisan Nasional versus Pakatan Harapan. From the looks of it Mahathir has just made it 130:92 in favour of Barisan Nasional, although I would place my bet on 150:72 Barisan Nasional versus Pakatan Harapan. Anyway, let’s see what happens in the next general election.</div>

DAP can win is 45 out of 222 parliament seats? Would Pakatan Harapan not need 126 parliament seats to walk in to Putrajaya (as Rafizi Ramli predicts they will win) and should DAP not win at least 64 of those 126 seats to be in charge? That would be how one would look at it if one is of a simple mind. DAP does not need 64 seats. All DAP needs is 45 seats, or even less, as long as the rest of the parliamentarians are DAP’s proxies or Ali Baba (or at least 20 of them).That was when DAP ‘upgraded’ its ambition and aspiration. No longer was DAP just focused on winning Penang. It was now aiming to win Penang, Perak, Selangor, Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Sabah, Sarawak, and many more states, resulting in DAP winning federal power. The 2008 and 2013 general elections have shown that it was difficult but not impossible as they had originally thought.<br />also read this <a href="http://themalaybusinesstribune.blogspot.my/2017/01/can-abdul-shukor-husin-gets-away-with-it.html" style="border: 0px; color: #117bb8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Can Abdul Shukor Husin gets away with it</a></div>

Surely you won't let us down and disappoint the majority of the rakyat by taking on the head, would you? For that's where and how a rotten fish starts to decay.<br />

Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Dzulkifli Ahmad,lacks the intelligence needed to appreciate the dynamics of the modern world or he has cynical contempt for the intelligence of voters.an obtuse self-interest, whose only moral compass is the conviction that might is right, a self-interest so near-sighted as to be self-defeating, one that panders to ill-informed prejudice at home and promises to cede more elbow room to rising powers hitherto hemmed in by presence.an obtuse self-interest, whose only moral compass is the conviction that might is right, a self-interest so near-sighted as to be self-defeating,The first crucial action to be taken to gain some credibility is obvious - 1MDB has to be thoroughly investigated or properly re-investigated.shame should not be placed on some secure pedestal merely because it involves favoured leaders and their henchmen; to-date, to our national humiliation, not a single related person has been charged.By all means, investigate effectively every member of Parliament or even civil servants living in RM5 million homes. Then we may salute you.Strong posturing indeed. But enough with the posturing and war cries. We know your predecessor almost nailed the source of the mother of all corruption in Malaysia, but he was stopped in his track and his knuckles rapped.<br />
<br />
MACC itself was jolted with a quake and a number of its pillars collapsed. Collateral damages were evident. Debris is still strewn around its entire headquarters. The corrupted actually brought their fight to your doorsteps and spewed venom at your faces.MACC’s inaction on the 1MDB matter in the light of overwhelming evidence that MO1 and his cohorts have allegedly stolen billions of the people’s money, strongly indicates that MACC are mere lackeys and protectors of MO1 and all their actions and public utterances are either at the behest of MO1 or are designed to please MO1, who is their lord and master.<br />

<br /></div>
Unless you and your team continue, hound and complete that particular and outstanding exercise and in quick time, nothing you do, or say or posture will ever convince Malaysians that you are fair, integruous and unbiased.the rising hope that one might have that corruption in high places might be dealt with definitively is dashed against the rock of (possibly deceptive) rhetoric.<br />

For the first time since PAS a political party with diluted Muslim credentials migrated from UMNO, is making a credible bid for UMNO support. PAS confined itself to Kelanta and, contra-factually, succeeded precisely because it was Anwar reformasi force. Other matters, mainly DAP , became puffs of smoke from the ash of certainty.Muslims on the platform of unity? PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang refuses to be embarrassed by his, his faith or his route map in the competitive jungle of democratic aspiration.PAS is in play because it can mobilize anti-Umno electorates without the burden of anti-Mahathir and Lim Kit Siang. In fact, PAS is risking its own life would not have done significantly better if it had refused regional power. Still an infant, it is more effective as a toddler of promise rather than an adult on steroids. It is too early to risk the loss of kampong innocence.<br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;">Muslims have handed over their vote as proxy in the hope of security and some degree of welfare.

That illusion evaporated t</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;">hose who understand the temperamental nature of any electoral season know that predictions are risky. It is far safer to keep your eyes open and mouth shut.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;">But if you had to lay any bets, how would you start? Open up the map and check out what may be called pinprick constituencies. These are the marginal seats where victory went to one party by a statistically inconsequential figure</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;"> it happen in Sg Besar and Kuala Kangsar. </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px;">This will be more illuminating precisely because their random existence, outside any cluster that suggests geographic logic. If there is consistency in disarray, it means consolidation towards UMNO. If not seats are travelling in disparate directions.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato;"> Off the record Najib and Zaid have finally trap PAS decimation in three-cornered fights </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In electoral science, statistics are illustrative, interpretation is critical and everything is fluid. Politics is evolutionary, and evolution – even Darwin’s – is a theory, not a fact. No election is an echo of the past, let alone a mirror of the future.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">The ever-punctual Comrade Gorbachev, who huffed and puffed so hard that he brought the whole Soviet house down, was once late for a meeting with a French delegation. He explained to his guests that he had been delayed by a problem in agriculture. When did the problem begin, asked the solicitous French. ‘‘In 1917,’’ replied Gorbachev.</span><br style="line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">Any democracy is hobbled without an Opposition.

Mahathir succeeded because he had terribly long arms; he held the PAS by one hand, and the Anwar by the other, while he reinvented himself as an honest politician, sympathetic to Malay concerns. It required too much heavy engineering and the end product was so unstable that it kept Malay politics off-balance for a decade.</span><br style="line-height: 18.2px;" /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">History does not repeat itself, but does it imitate itself?

A joke might not destroy reputation quite as effectively as a corruption scandal, but it deflates credibility. Through his long career secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor,<br />, has been ripped off by the coalmines allocation scam. The government has only one strategy for all the riveting scandals that have gutted its credibility: the purchase of time through delay or deception Shenanigans like ku num are no longer funny. It is one of the saddest moments in politics. For, the dream is shattered. The betrayal hurts. It is also uncomfortable to deal with. It tells us that it wasn’t just the fault of the UMNO. Perhaps we as a nation are full of cheats, liars, thugs and plunderers. It’s just about getting the opportunity to do so. When Ku Nan was on the street, he hated conspicuous consumption and waste of state resources. In power, it wants to travel first-class and sample Bordeaux wines. It shows that looting the nation never bothered these leaders of UMNO. What bothered them was that they were not getting a chance to do so. Well, they have it now. Well done.<br />The butt of black humour. The insulation that protected him while colleagueswere falling on either side in the many corruption battles, dismissed corruption as an international phenomenon<br /><br /><img height="240" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/1054/b89310335104acbb9a36b8d2b586e6f9.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px;" width="400" /><br /><span style="color: #444444; font-size: 13px;">When the going is good, the bosses play golf, but when times are bad, they try to play God. 2016 saw many national leaders doing just that.

A study by states that the fiscal multiplier is around 2.5 for capital expenditure, while it’s less than 1 for revenue expenditure. This means that for every Rgt 1 the government invests in capital goods like roads and railways, the GDP is likely to end up increasing byRgt 2.50.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">But the overall impact of spending an extra Rgt 1 on revenue expenditure, like salaries and subsidies, will end up having an overall impact of less than Rgt 1on the overall GDP.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Government can use it to empower the people and turn the economic initiative into a definitive political initiative?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Infrastructure investment is stuck due as companies are weighed down by debt. Public investment needs a boost to revive the economy, calling for action from the government. Stepping up public investment will create new demand. It also has the potential to crowd in private investment to meet that demand. The short point is that for same amount of private savings, there is really no threat of public borrowings competing with private borrowings.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">There is no dispute that the government should cut wasteful spending and raise extra money — by adopting the goods and services tax and widening the base, and administering taxes better. But does it not make sense to achieve a 3% of GDP target for the deficit over a business cycle rather than through every year of a it? This can be done only if the government stops worrying about what rating agencies would have to say.Connectivity and high-impact infrastructure projects are implemented to help stimulate the country's economy and not for grandeur, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Referring to projects like the Pan-Borneo Expressway, Rapid Pengerang in Johor, Malaysia Vision Valley, Bandar Malaysia, Tun Razak Exchange, the East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) and the High Speed Rail (HSR), he said they were also not luxury projects."These projects are not for grandeur, not luxurious in nature, but to help generate the country's economy," he said at the Finance Ministry's special assembly in Putrajaya today.Najib, who is also finance minister, said the projects were capable of creating high paying jobs, as well as contract opportunities for local companies, including Class F contractors."This creates better connectivity and leads to an increase in the country's gross domestic product (GDP)," he added.Citing the ECRL project, he said when completed, it was expected to increase the growth rate of the three states in the East Coast by 1.5 percent.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"This is the government's commitment to infrastructure development, stimulating local economy and to provide a significant increase in the people's lives."We provide a transport system which is affordable and the MRT system is well-received."Come July, the MRT project, stretching 51 kilometres from Sungai Buloh to Kajang will be ready. This project is a game-changer for the country," Najib added.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As such, the prime minister emphasised the need for the projects to be carried out fast and efficiently, had high impact on the people, at minimum cost, with rapid execution and sustainable."These should be made the basis in determining whether a project can be implemented or otherwise," he added.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">From a market-friendly viewpoint, the government’s role is to facilitate private enterprise. Provision of infrastructure is crucial for this. Providing roads and electricity to every habitation, or ports and airports for international connectivity, can hugely improve business opportunities. Some of these sectors require massive funds, carry big commercial risks, and are unprofitable (no villagers will pay tolls on rural roads). The government has the greatest capacity to raise money and take risks, since it can use tax revenues rather than commercial capital. Hence it has dominated infrastructure everywhere.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">government constantly lacks funds for badly needed infrastructure. Finance Minister II ’s solution is for government undertakings to routinely sell existing assets, and use the sale proceeds to finance fresh investment. Public sector entities can sell entire subsidiary companies, or projects, or vacant land to finance fresh projects.The greatest potential lies in recycling infrastructure. Instead of depending on money from the stressed budget, infrastructure sectors can raise all the equity they need by selling old assets. Instead of building in order to own and run, the government should build in order to sell.model had the private sector building, operating and transferring a project to the government. The new model has the government building, operating and then transferring projects to the private sector. This reversal makes excellent sense.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> while the government has a major role in building infrastructure, should it maintain and operate roads or power stations? No, not at all. Once the commanding heights have been built, they can be sold to private entities for routine operation. model was fundamentally unsound. Construction is the riskiest part of an infrastructure project, when unanticipated delays and glitches are common. Major infrastructure projects the world over have suffered huge cost overruns. New model entrusted construction, the riskiest part, to the private sector, to be transferred to the government after the risky stage was over. This placed the maximum burden of risk on heavily leveraged private players, who were least equipped to bear it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">. It said the government, which has the greatest risk-bearing capacity (it can always use tax revenues to rescue a project) should build projects, and operate them in the initial phase when revenues are uncertain. Once the project is firmly established and revenues are steady and predictable, it can be sold to private players (including international ones) who will pay a high price for utilities with stable revenues. The sale proceeds can then be recycled into new projects.</span></div>

Four minions (the cartoon characters) come walking down a winding road. They have the faces of the four Najib – PAS, MCA,Gerakan and MIC .

If it works, it would be driven by the leaders self interest There is a low grade communal sentiment, most magnified by PAS but also there in eastern parts of the country. The resentment of parties that rely on minorities like MCA,MIC and other mosqitoes parties can be made to work for UMNO presuming other factors in its campaign click.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The anti-incumbent force against his own incumbent regime. It is certainly one of the great ironic twists of Malaysian democracy that dynasts of UMNO ana DAP should at this point to be the young, anti-system agitators.Dr Mahathir Mohamad has claimed that some PAS leaders are "sabotaging" talks of possible cooperation between the Islamist party and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).The former premier pointed the finger at PAS research centre director Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki as one of them, noting that the latter was attacking Bersatu leaders, particularly Mahathir.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Usually however in the game of alliance is about arithmetic, which broadly means that the three major players, the UMNO-led alliance, DAP and PKR,and Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) are in a triangular contest in the first-past-the-post system aiming at around 30% of the vote. Most of the analysis derives from equations such as X community plus Y community means victory and so on. Competing parties therefore spend as much energy on trying to split the votes of their opponents as on garnering their own votes.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> PAS is playing the game with the arithmetic of Muslim population .

The rationale for contemporary Islamist violence was first provided by two doctrinaires, Shah Waliullah in Mughal Delhi and Muhammad ibn Abd-al Wahhab in Ottoman Arabia. They were born in the same year, 1703, and watched a historic comfort zone crumble. Their prescription (restricted for Sunni Muslims) was simple and stern: Allah had not abandoned Muslims; Muslims had forsaken Allah.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; height: auto !important; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%;">
Muslims had slipped into decadence, compromising purity of practice in prayer and trust in the sharia; their behaviour and dress had been corrupted by other cultures, whether it was Hinduism in India or the growing influence of Europe among Ottoman elites.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: Lato; font-size: 16px; height: auto !important; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 100%;">
Their rulers no longer believed in the supremacy of Islam, chosen by God as the final testament for this world. The umma no longer displayed the courage to grow a religious beard, proclaim the faith, or pick up the sword — or a gun in Paris, a bomb in Peshawar — in defence of Islam.</div>

Ironically, this revisionism went against innumerable tenets of the Quran, which advocate acceptance of other faiths, particularly “people of the Book”, and explain why Christian communities like the Yazidis continued to live in Muslim Iraq for 1,400 years until the supremacists of ISIS began their rape, pillage and murder of the “infidel”.</div>

<span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;">But as a sense of loss, and fear of the future, intensified, the ideas of exclusivity, separation and dream of dominance began to gather momentum in the 20th century.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The warriors of this Islamic jihad are the masked vanguard of a movement that found its spurs in the 19th century, when the last two Muslim empires, the Mughal and the Ottoman, began to wither and then die. Behind the masks is a supply chain that, like all religious extremism, is magnetised by inspiration beyond the control of boundaries.</span></span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;">A decisive battle between modernity and regression is fought in Malaysia before 1945.PAS used, often and provocatively, the rhetoric of superiority in its pursuit of Islam.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;">offered the counter-narrative, that true strength lay in faith equality, not faith supremacy. For him, dharma represented the underlying truth common to every religion. The singular duty of the state was to enshrine freedom of faith as a basic right; the citizen was enjoined to treat every faith with equal respect.</span><br /><img alt="Image result for Pas president" src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSNipSOa6DvtA0b31exsKSSGjx2nKBbjacGR8zyJv7R-5AyzQtf" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px;" /><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><b>You can teach an old dog new tricks</b></span></span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">the masterful manipulator of redefined democracy.

As do prime ministers in parliamentary systems. But can liberal democracy, once it has established firm roots, go on inexorably as the winning solution for organising society in an orderly, if hardly perfect, structure at “the end of history”?With the end of the Cold War and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet Union, Francis Fukuyama’s bold assertion was that the history of argument over the validity of liberal democracy had ended. It was the end of history in that sense. The only workable system of structuring society was a framework of democracy guided by the light of liberalism.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">the intelligence and the education needed to appreciate the dynamics of the modern world or he has cynical contempt for the intelligence and education of his voters.</span></span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In either case, the inaugural address of America’s 45th president trumpeted an obtuse self-interest, whose only moral compass is the conviction that might is right, a self-interest so near-sighted as to be self-defeating, one that panders to ill-informed prejudice at home and promises to cede more elbow room to rising powers hitherto hemmed in by overarching</span></span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Politicians who come to power feeding and feeding off a majority’s imagined sense of victimhood have to genuflect, once in a while, to the bogey they rode but would, if they have sense, concentrate their energies, having assumed power, on building up an alternative</span></span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Hitler chose to persist with the Jews, pursuing their extermination to the Holocaust and associated politics by other means across the globe.

As a businessman he should understand this. 200 years ago, religious leadership was dominant. From the dogmatic shackles of religious leadership we moved to the tyranny of military leadership, and then to the confoundedness of democratic leadership. In the next 15-20 years, business leadership is going to be most prominent in the world.</span><br /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">The desire for change, the more radical the better, the less pragmatic the more attractive, points to a deep disaffection with politics as it has come to be practiced. And while there are always reasons that can be summoned up to explain this anger, it is still worth asking if the world has indeed become such a terrible place, that democracies are acting in such populist rage? Something more fundamental is shifting and this needs to be speculated upon. One of the biggest changes we have seen in the last few years is the dominant media form of the day and the wide-ranging and deep effects of this are often not fully acknowledged. The print era retained the ability to regulate mass behavior through the power of ideas that seeped downwards from an influential educated elite. The ideals of democracy became well established boundaries within which political debate was largely contained. Liberal democracies were the aspired for destinations, even if progress towards that goal was often slow and unconvincing.</span><br /><div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

Describing Donald Trump’s inauguration as ‘horrible’, Waldman gave a “shout out to sisters, children and all women marching towards Washington…” It was promptly dubbed the lit fest’s Meryl Streep moment.</span></span><span style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This perception problem is misleading. The mainstream media with the collusion of DNC (Democratic National Committee) supporters mocked Trump even though this really did not represent the reality on the ground. To make the claim that Trump was “unpopular” based solely on the dubious readings of the mainstream American media is the kind of faulty logic that cost the DNC the presidency.</span></div>

While reminding the opposition on not counting on the Trump vote, “The Trump vote was a vote against the establishment. However, pundits forget that Trump destroyed the Republican establishment in the GOP (Grand Old Party) primaries before taking his message to the national stage. He did this by slaying sacred cows and projecting himself as the only one who could save America from the Washington elites who cared little for the white working class that was neglected in the national discourse.”</div>

Umno, of course, is the Malay establishment. Umno controls the mainstream media and nearly every facet of the Malay community either through commerce or through religion. Umno is the very definition of the establishment.</div>
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
It is no point ratcheting up the cyberwar because unlike Trump, who more or less managed his own presence in the online world and had a willing cadre of people who thought they were disenfranchised from mainstream American politics, Umno which has domination over the mainstream media has to rely on hired guns to settle their online disputes. In other words, this is not about political fervour but mercenary tendencies. Not good if you want to start a movement like what Trump did.</div>
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
Right now, we have an Umno president who many people, regardless of political affiliation, think he is the most corrupt sitting Umno president in history. Here is an Umno prime minister who is siding with Umno’s sworn enemy because his political career, not to mention the existence of Umno, is in question.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">
This political milieu is exactly the kind of “swamp” that Trump supporters want him to drain and which was why he struck a chord with some voters who would not normally vote for such an outlier candidate.And Umno has reason to be proud, they have “outrumped the Donald” by being the first to propagate “alternative truths”. While the Trump administration is only just starting with this useful bit of fascist nation building, Umno can be secure in the knowledge that they have done this for years. So really, do not worry so much about emulating Trump. It would seem that Trump is emulating Umno in this instance.</div>
<span style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Trump</span><span style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> promises to reverse that selfishness and altruism, to bring back to America jobs, prosperity, greatness, and, implicitly, a way of life in which men were men, brought home the bacon for the wife to cook, cheerfully looking up recipes from Good Housekeeping and other such trusted guides of the homemaker.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Lying is not a term that should be used to describe the exalted office Trump occupies. So, let us say Trump’s commitment to liberty extends to snapping the restraining bonds of truth and mere facts.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The reality is that American policy has always put, surprise, America first.Trump rightly termed his ascendency as a “movement” and this movement’s sole aim, no matter the disparate some would argue dissonant interests involved, was to sweep away the establishment, and for some install a new order and to others restore an order that was supplanted by various hegemonic interests at the expense of the American people.</span></span></div>

Now whether this belief is factual or not is beside the point. What is important is the reality that a certain section of the demographic wanted to cast an anti-establishment vote.</div>
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
So there is no point for unpopular establishment types having wet dreams about pulling a Trump and attempting to find commonality with a corrupt, bigoted plutocrat’s electoral win. What Trump did is galvanise a movement which if the GOP did not fall into line, they would have been swept away.</div>
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
Having said that, I do think we could see a “Trump vote” happen in Malaysia and this should really worry Umno. While some pundits may have a problem with contradicting what they have previously written, I have no such problems. When the facts change, so do my opinions.</div>
<div style="font-family: "proxima nova", "helvetica neue", helvetica, arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
In the same piece where I argued that the opposition will not get the Trump vote, I wrote: “The problem here is that the opposition and Umno are the establishment. There is nothing that separates the two besides the numerous corruption scandals that plague Umno. In addition, as recent by-elections have proven even this does not seem to bother people who still vote in Umno.”</div>

It has four non-negotiable pillars: democracy, which is impossible without free speech; freedom of faith; gender equality; and economic equity, through which the poo r are the principal beneficiaries of economic growth.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">votes will wander in that useless space called purgatory; neither in heaven nor hell.Politics might be hell, but victory is heaven.</span><br /><img height="240" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/1077/a73a9dbf78fd2d84dd469a7ab16a8753.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px;" width="400" /><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato; font-size: 16px;">Another barbaric chapter of an epic conflict between the presence and promise of modernity, and the bitter, toxic romance of regression </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Time’s up for PAS, Bersatu to decide soon.</span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Every good drama needs a few sub-plots whirling through the mainframe. The most captivating within our current political theatre On surface level, it is not much more than a claim for primacy between a politician who inherited wealth, English and Harvard as a birthright, and the outsider who learnt life’s lessons in London streets . But no story-within-a-story is worth the price of admission if it is limited to the obvious.We can never be sure what transpires within the recesses of the mind, let alone the heart. But one wonders if Mahathir is also signalling, with his jibes and jabs at Najib, to his own party that he would have done a far better job than Najib if he had been made candidate for prime minister.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">If Hadi does believe this, he is right. He, and indeed at least three other PAS leaders, would have ensured that PAS did not fade away mid-journey . Others have internalized the angst of legitimate ambition denied ;Hadi has gone vocal. Nothing is more compelling evidence than his extraordinary statement that he is “not unhappy” </span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">PAS is consequently facing not one but two potential calamities. Its leaders, like England’s King Canute, sit on the shore and order the Najib wave to recede; and the waters remain disobedient. The second is an internal earthquake within the party as a generation gloomily contemplates what will be, in effect, its last election. This is, broadly, plus or minus a few months on either side. Even if a few of them return to the House, they will not return to power. Najib will reshape Umno in his own style. This is as it should be</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><br /></span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Thought for the day, or perhaps the next hundred days: Where did it all go wrong for PAS predident Ravana? He was the highest of the high-born, a king of kings, a blue-blood intellectual, a classical aesthete. Why did his rule sink to nadir? </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">Ravana had too many heads. It just doesn’t work. </span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">It is a safe bet that most of his ten heads were barely on speaking terms with one another. Ravana remains the ultimate metaphor for coalition politics, the Third Front of his time, and symbol of disaster for all eternity in Malaysaia’s sacred verse. </span><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;">A significant, if still barely recognized, by-product of the tortured Umno decade is the collapse of voters’ trust in any patch-up, last-minute conglomeration. Accretion is no longer seen as strength, but as invitation to weakness.</span><br /><span style="color: #2b2b2b; font-family: lato;"><img alt="Image result for Finance Minister2 Johari"

All of us live on some rung of that ladder, and all of us want to climb a rung, enabled by good governance. It is axiomatic that those at the bottom must rise at twice the pace of elites, but it is essential that everyone must ascend. A simple question will shape the voter’s decision: who can best assure this ascent? </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18.2px;">READMORE </span><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://themalaybusinesstribune.blogspot.my/2016/07/finance-minister-ii-datuk-johari-abdul.html&source=gmail&ust=1482228841832000&usg=AFQjCNEdiAipu_0AVhdJYfxFP2VLn3YAxA" href="http://themalaybusinesstribune.blogspot.my/2016/07/finance-minister-ii-datuk-johari-abdul.html" style="color: #3778cd; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-stretch: normal; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Finance Minister II Datuk Johari Abdul Ghani said good first step for improving accountability in government</a></div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hadi and the his Taliban gang are veterans, surely they know what they are doing will destroy PAS as a party, and their attack dog stance at the opposition will not win them any seats and just hand BN a sure win. yet they seem not to care and continue spewing their nonsense and lies. This isnt the first time we have seen fake religious politicians in rejecting PAS, for claiming that it wanted to battle Umno and BN but at the same time refused to be part of the opposition coalition.“PAS' attitude of wanting to cooperate with PKR and Bersatu but not DAP and Amanah does not benefit the opposition alliance.“In fact, it weakens the opposition. This confuses the people and denies their aspiration to see a change in leadership </span><br /><div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img height="384" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/1076/14d97d4306393244645684974625113a.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="640" /></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In a year when the rest of the country has forgotten him, Malaysian opposions politicians are paying due homage to Darwin on the 200th anniversary of his birth. This general election has turned into a ferocious display of the survival of the fittest. As Darwin told us there is neither emotion nor kinship nor morality as the strong proceed to decimate the weaker of the species. The processes of the laws of political nature are a marvel to behold.<span style="background-color: white;">. As ideas go, this had its merits for Mahathir desperate to earn any dividend from his political depression. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Najib recognised that Mahathir was a spent force, and its only hope lay in becoming an attachment to the new party ready to accept it as an appendage. Votaries of this theory must have congratulated themselves with the prospect that if Mahathir could lengthen the tail with disparate alliances, one bright morning the tail would become long enough to wag at Najib.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Loyalty is an imbecile's begging bowl. Those who ask for it do not deserve it. The only measure of a relationship is strength. Where there is a conflict in assessment, the dispute is being put to test without reference to yesterday's commitments.Economist Jomo Kwame Sundaram is the latest prominent analysts to predict a BN victory for the upcoming general election."It is the new year, so it is traditional to make predictions about the future.</span><br /><img height="240" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/1064/9bc7adb3b67ac892cb3e74aded287842.jpg" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" width="400" /><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">When political opponents become friends the first pattern of this general election has emerged: </span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">the really fierce contest is not between traditional foes,but between yesterday's friends, particularly where they shared power.has Mahathir undergone a dramatic transformation in his conscientisation to people-centred philosophies or is he simply stuck in his anti-Najib groove? Do the other parties in the Opposition coalition even care if he has become a born-again democrat with a new commitment to human rights and social justice?</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Surely,Mahathir time and the tide of corruption, bigotry and racism would have taught the founding fathers of this new party. Although as a general principle, a race-based party is a big no-no, in this unique case, the formation of an Umno-style party by ex-Umno president and deputy president who have many supporters in Umno has the potential to take away Umno members who would otherwise never vote for a multi-racial party.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The first pattern of this general election has emerged: the really fierce contest is not between traditional foes, but between yesterday's friends, particularly where they shared power. The more decisive story is , where shifting mindsets have ignited a splinter-explosion. has pre-empted the post-election bullying with a question of his own:The more decisive story is within the UPA, where shifting mindsets have ignited a splinter-explosion.Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last night exposed efforts being made by certain quarters to ensure he would lose the Bagan Datuk parliamentary seat in the 14th general election (GE14). PAS is so anxious to stop Lim Kit Siang and Mahathir , why support a Third Front government from outside, or even inside, instead of demanding primacy of power in any coalition? In 2013, PAS and the others were caught flat-footed. This time they have begun a dance to a tune of their composition New alliances are impervious to anything but the calculation of a temporary bargain. Every duel is a cold battle, untouched by past dalliance, or the lure of future romance. Divorce terms are being negotiated without the door being shut on the option of remarriage.Deals are being made, and abandoned at the first prospect of a higher bid. Trust has been abandoned with impunity in states as diverse in their politics as PAS, Shall we just say that the last tea party of the season has not been held at . The kettle will keep boiling across the country till the final moment of nomination.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In an exalted tribute to Darwin, we should probably rename the Election Commission and call it the Selection Commission. The survival of the fittest is the law out there as well.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The conventional tools of democratic appeal have faded in the culture of self-preservation as the highest good. There is no point bemoaning the collapse of ideology. Convictions cannot survive in a junkyard auction. Ideology is too far a horizon. This election is shorn of even a new idea. Can you cite a single speech that has floated a new thought?</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The irrelevance of every manifesto is obvious in the absurdity of its content. Parties are offering so many things free that we might as well do away with currency. There is insanity in the competition for handouts. How will any future government pay for what is on offer? Who cares? A ruling party's promises beg the obvious question: why weren't these offers implemented when the party was in power?</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Politicians know that no one is gullible in their tribe. Every election is a Russian roulette: someone will end up with a brain injury if not worse. But their manifestos and speeches imply that they consider the voter to be a gull. But the glitter of the packaging cannot really hide the fact that there is nothing in the package. When the minorities hear that they will get reservations this time around they do not break out in joyous dance. The choice before them is not for the best on offer but the least worst. Their vote will scatter in the fog of uncertainty.There is only one prominent politician who is not making any deal with any other party.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Image result for pkr president wan azizah" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTkZkv9Jq3TzVZVYfT8ceIXINPj0oxwfGcJsUpEgecapB-YKQoD" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">PKR president has clearly decided that the moment for deals is after the strength of every species has been revealed in the ballot. She is courteous to friends, offering them a decent dinner when they come calling. But she is utterly indifferent to any suggestion on seat adjustments. Their objective is to sow the seeds around and wait for the elections which, in their estimate, are less than five months away. Age is with them now. They have to find a way of getting the country behind them.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Evolution, as Darwin pointed out, needs time of course, but human beings did not become the supreme species without intelligence.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Image result for Hadi and the his Taliban gang" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQBvCRrF2l0BR6tb95cfL5On0kUho5F7TCASpmY_dhgJ2bu16VL9w" style="background: transparent; border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid transparent; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 0px; padding: 8px;" /></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The main characteristic of the Donald Trump presidency, inaugurated yesterday, promises to be changeability and uncertainty. The new US president has taken contrary and contradictory stands on the same issue time and again. His nominees to key posts in his administration have contradicted their chief ’s stand on a number of key subjects, not to speak of their own previous positions. All that can be said for sure is that President Trump, as leader of the world’s largest economy, the most powerful military and the traditional leader in a number of global agencies and rule-setting bodies, will change the world as we know it.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The US economy has been showing robust growth and job creation for the last few quarters. Any attempt by the Trump administration to accelerate growth is likely to create more problems than it solves. Take the case of restricting work visas for the tech industry. Unemployment rate in the US tech sector is so low that rationing visas would create a manpower scarcity that pushes up wages, makes projects and products more costly and drives startups that depend on cheap manpower out of the US. The pace at which the Fed raises interest rates could accelerate, if Trump delivers on his promise to step up spending and drives up the fiscal deficit.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">trump-1-aur</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">That would weaken currencies in the emerging world, including in India, and give resurgent commodity prices added bite. A stronger dollar would boost imports and widen the US current account deficit, to finance the demand for additional foreign savings spawned by a Trump spending spree.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Trump has promised to be tough on China, accused of stealing American jobs with unfair trade. At the same time, Trump’s isolationist streak, downplaying Nato and calling upon South Korea and Japan to fend relatively more for themselves, would strengthen China and its ability to project power in Asia. That is good news for China’s friend to our west, not for India. Russia’s place in a Trumpian world is another mystery, as of now. But everything need not be gloomy. The lotus, after all, is born from muck, and because of muck.</span></div>

Cash and sex are the north and south pole of mass interest, each with a sprawling magnetic field. We divide the hemispheres with the equator of logic. Cash and corruption are the preserve of politics. Sex is the province of glamour.

But is greed the only motivation? Greed is not India-specific. The extent of our venality may have a supplementary reason. We are, by temperament, a short-cut people. We do not like waiting for due process, whether in a project or towards a destination. Indian corruption could well find an explanation in Indian traffic. We instinctively seek a faster way, whether on a cow-clogged country lane or an incomplete super highway. The Indian driver does not believe in the sober limitations of take; he is a devotee of overtake. Cars do not create traffic jams; drivers with hyper libidos do.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><img height="240" src="http://mk-cdn.mkini.net/966/e4cc136c2552ee49852b0b4bb16333af.jpg" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; padding: 5px;" width="400" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><img alt="Image result for Rosmah and Taek Jho Low" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSoNvTN_g1GWDGJRPk1fscNTIIQla1TSKgyzN7WbD_QdUo0IwWj" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-radius: 0px; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; padding: 5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;">The long cut is demeaning to the Malaysia ego.

Multiple lines of accountability would guarantee autonomy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the past, directly and indirectly hinted at the use of MACC cases against them to exert political pressure. As Malaysian develops as a democracy, integrity of the institutions of the state must strengthen, not weaken.An institutional solution would have three parts, relating to appointment of the organisation’s chief, lines of accountability and professionalism. Ideally, the bureau should have its own, directly recruited, professional cadre. The very process of deputation from various police forces is a node for injecting political patronage. The appointment of the bureau’s chief is by the prime minister, the leader of Opposition and the chief justice. This is not foolproof, as appointment of an interim chief whose tenure would witness the superannuation of some eligible candidates, shows.</span><br />
