Mahathir is the biggest munafiq. He is exactly the opposite of Mandela. He is a racist, he is dictator, he discriminates, he hates non malays, he is ruthless (he sacked the judges), he is brutal n violent and corrupt etc etc . So he has no reason to admire Nelson Mandela who is an international ICON
This shit mamakutty is a great pretender. No way he is near to our beloved Nelson Mandela....not even 1% of Nelson Mandela.

The whole world loves Nelson Mandela for his fight against apartheid, for human rights, non violence, love and forgiveness. In Malaysia everybody except maybe Umnoputras hates Mahathir for his apartheid n discrimination, his hatred for non malays, his corruption, his machieviallian and devious tactics and violence against opposition and chinese and destruction of malaysian institutions
Yes, brother fairjimmy, you are 100% correct.... indeed this UMNO is all shit, say one thing then gostan & do another thing. Only the many UMNO Malay supporters are blind & cocky. They seem to live under a coconut shell & cannot see what the shit Mamakutty does. But there are many other Real Malays who are NON UMNO supporters & these Malays are the REAL HEROES of our Beloved Malaysia, they think in terms of OUR BELOVED MALAYSIA FUTURE as well as their future & as well as their children & grandchildren too & they want to put everything RIGHT for all Malaysia & Malaysians.
So, my friendly advice to all the UMNO Malay supporters here, please don't be blind or buta & too cocky too. When one day the whole world comes tumbling on you & your family, you will then cry non stop & maybe you & your children will perhaps be begging in the streets while the TRUE NON-UMNO MALAY SUPPORTERS will be be well & better prepared themselves as well as for their families too.
Don't believe? Just you wait & see then & by then don't expect UMNO to hand you bread crumbs then, hahaha

Safe and comfortable back at their Assembly in Putrajaya...None of them are in Kemaman or Kuantan, among the hardest hit towns where residents are appealing for help and wondering why Najib and his cohorts are crowing about popular votes and exhorting the party to represent the people when they are in dire need of help.

this shit Mamakutty admire Nelsom Mandela? OMG, what will this Shitter says next? Like you said brother Saturn, it's hypocrisy of the highest level. What Mandela does, this shitter Mamakutty does the opposite, discrimination, racism, etc, you name it, this shitter mamakutty does it. Do you remember when he was the PM, he will bash Israel non-stop all the time & he openly send his 2 sons to work for a Israel company...he send Mokhzani, Mahathir’s son, worked for Lehman Brothers, a Jewish firm & another son, Mirzan, worked for Salomon Brothers, another Jewish firm.
and this...Prof Jeffrey Sachs from Harvard, one of Mahathir’s top economic advisors, is a Jew. Mahathir (ok, some unknown person) engaged Abramoff, a Jew, to arrange the meeting between Mahathir and George Bush.
There is ample evidence, however, to show that Mahathir in reality is anything but anti-Israel or anti-Jew. Well, he has just openly admitted that Malaysia had trade relations with Israel. Do we need any more evidence? Just in case, he twists, as is typical of him, and claims that the Malaysia-Israel trade was before and after his term but not during his PMship, let us examine other evidences about the Mahathir-Jew matter.
Mahathir’s open vitriolic act against the Jews is legendary. Mahathir’s reason for the open animosity for Jews is to serve as a diversion so that Mahathir’s close relationship with the Jews will not be apparent, and he can continue to deceive the Malays and the Islamic world. Let us look at the facts.
Mahathir was a close buddy of Soros (a Jew) in hedge-fund deals and currency manipulation, later blamed Soros for the financial crisis of 1997/1998 and called him a “moron”, and subsequently absolved Soros of any responsibility for Malaysia’s financial crisis when Soros visited him after his retirement– was Mahathir a hypocrite, lambasting first and later embracing and absolving Soros?
Mahathir had engaged Saatchi & Saatchi, Goldman Sachs and other Jewish firms for various projects and tasks during his tenure as PM.
Ask yourself this....How is it that Mahathir is still alive and kicking after having seriously offended the “most powerful people in the world” (the Jews), not once but repeatedly? Israel can easily assassinate the Hamas leaders easily even through a remote control hand phone & how come this Mamakutty is still alive after all this bashing of Israel? It is because, he has been a stooge of not only the US but also the Jews, and he was excused by them for his over-zealous efforts to deceive Malaysians and the Islamic world about his anti-Jewish and consequently anti-Israeli stand.
So who is really the “Best Pal” of the Jews? Anwar or Mahathir? Anwar may be a friend of Israel but Mahathir is most certainly the “Best Pal” of the Jews.
Yes, this shit Mamakutty continue to deceive the Malays and the Islamic world.
And so many Malays are blind & cocky too, OMG. Wake up my Malay brothers & sisters & save or Beloved country Malaysia.

Floods in Pahang and Terengganu - Najib's Katrina Moment?
By IR Khairil Nizam Khiruddin
"Brownie…you've done a heck of a job"
That comment best illustrate how President Bush mishandled the Katrina disaster. Despite New Orleans inundated by floods with more than 1800 people dead and an estimated USD 81 billion in property loss, Bush made just one flyover, viewing the situation from the comfort of his Air Force One. And then came that out-of-touch comment that forever defines the Bush Administration for its incompetence. The Katrina case shows that natural disaster politics can be unforgiving to insensitive political office bearers. Unfortunately, PM Najib Administration today is risking doing the same thing.
The last few days saw heavy rainfall on the Peninsular's East Coast, battering Kemaman - Kuantan area the most. More than 20 thousands people are displaced as homes submerged by rising water, many at the roof level. Electricity and water supplies are cut-off, cellular communication is almost non-existent, heavy rains are damaging roads, creating dangerous potholes and reducing visibility. For most of Monday and Tuesday, all routes into and out of Kemaman were cut off. Words are simply not enough to describe the severity of the problem.
Despite the extraordinary situation, government's response has been mostly business-as-usual and tepid. The apparent disinterest from mainstream news media is mind-boggling thus one wonder if there a directive from the high office somewhere to give more coverage on the on-goings at the UMNO General Assembly then the unraveling flood crisis in the east coast? So this is Rakyat didahulukan?
For sure, news media slow and scant coverage of the floods has resulted in people depending more on unverified information from blogs, IMs and SMSes. This can be dangerous as in time of crisis, unverified information can lead to panic and making it difficult to make life-saving plans. Not helping is government information delivery system such as PublicInfoBanjir and PortalMKN, oftenly crash under burden of heavy usage. The government must immediately increase server and bandwidth capacity to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 access.
The reluctance to announce both Kuantan and Kemaman as localized emergency zone is also beyond comprehension. Declaring emergency will allow the army to go in, relieving some burden off from the public response team that has been working non-stop since Sunday night.
Even the parliament took light of the problem with that one MP from Kinabatangan in particular making monkey-mocking statement when the Kuantan MP propose an emergency motion on the matter. Isn't it ironic that the UMNO General Assembly launched a disaster fund for The Phillipines' Haiyaan typhoon victims while help at our own backyard is still found wanting?
PAS Youth has fully mobilized its Unit Amal assets to assist flood victims. Its also heartening to see volunteerism goes full swing as concerned public, university students and flood victims themselves prepare food and provide drinking water to stranded families. But there is a strong sense of feeling on the ground that the government should do more, and can do more to help.
For now, the Prime Minister and his consultants are surely living in the Sri Perdana bubble. For God's sake dear PM, your home state is in crisis! Do something please.
IR Khairil Nizam Khirudin is the new PAS Youth Vice Chief. PAS's Unit Amal has activated hotline numbers for Terengganu - 0139274177, Pahang - 0139191721, Kelantan - 0129289859 and Johor - -0197117181. Donation can be made to Tabung Kemanusiaan Pemuda -Maybank 564025400100.

Economy growing? Only Barang Naik sahaja.
Up, up, up! Ordinary folk will have to tighten their belts since the GOVT WON'T
House prices up, transpiration cost up, fuel prices up, white sugar price up, and then we have: flour, electricity tariff, assessment fees and school fees all up!
Beginning January 1, electricity tariff will the take the lead with a whopping 15-17% hike. Despite public outcry, those in government appear to be least perturbed, arguing that "70% of households will not be affected."
70% of households unaffected? Stop kidding me?
If we take a good look at the new tariff structure, we will know that this is not going to be the case. Those paying more than RM43.60 a month in electricity bills will still need to pay the 6% GST come April 2015. Besides, the officials also fail to tell us that a whole range of chain effects will ensue following the rise of electricity tariff.
With electricity tariff going to be higher, production costs are bound to increase, and such increase will most definitely be transferred to the consumers. There is no way you can escape the impact of electricity tariff hike, unless you are a seclusive hermit who wants to have nothing to do at all with the world.
Disconnect with the ordinary people
Bank Negara governor Tan Sri Zeti said, electricity tariff hike will only have short-term effects on inflation, and that the CPI would only be increased by 0.4 percentage points next year, hovering around 3% for the whole year.
Well, 3% or 4% that's what the pundits say and not what the people in the street feel. What they care about is what else will go up tomorrow. They only believe in what they see, not what the abstract numbers are trying to tell us.
Statistics could be quite different from the reality. For example during the 1970s, a simple lunch would cost only around 80 sen to RM1 at a JB coffee shop. Today, the same thing could go for RM5 or RM6!
The actual hike like this is not what the experts could compute. What these experts do is to analyze the numbers they have collected through market survey executives to come out with their so-called inflation rate, all done in air-conditioned comfort. They won't know how much more a simple three-dish lunch will cost today, nor how badly many suffer.
Only those who are struggling to make ends meet, those who make their routine rounds at the local markets every morning, and those "aunties" shopping for daily necessities at neighborhood stores, will feel the pinch.
Start tightening the belt
There is no way many of us can evade the scourge of price hike. If the price is too high, just stop buying, or buy less, or buy only when there is sale.
Talking about saving money, perhaps we can start from the electricity. For the bosses, set the office air-con temperature at 26C instead of 20-22C which is too cold for some.
As for the rest of us, cut down power consumption as much as possible. Turn off the lights and computers when they are not needed. Use less of air-conditioners, washing machines, water heaters and other home appliances unless absolutely necessary. Perhaps this might cause some minor inconvenience, by saving energy we also help cut down carbon emission and do something positive for our planet.
No matter how hard you try to save, you still have to prepare yourself for the impact from escalating goods prices. You may probably want to look for a part-time job to supplement your income, or cut down unnecessary expenses. - mysinchew

Stop playing the race card, Heng tells Umno
Vignesh Kumar

Khairy Jamaluddin's call for an 'Equal Opportunity Act' to end racial discrimination at workplace has raised the ire of MCA's Heng Seai Kie who felt that the Umno Youth chief's remarks were discriminatory.
PETALING JAYA: MCA deputy national organising secretary Heng Seai Kie today urged Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin and other Umno politicians to stop playing the race card by spewing illogical rhetoric just to gain political mileage.
Heng was referring to Khairy’s remark that the “private sector discriminates against the Bumiputera” .
During the Umno Youth Assembly yesterday, Khairy said that “non Bumiputera companies are not hiring Malay chief executive officers (CEOs), unlike the Malay-led government that had non-Malay secretary generals”.
She commented that this statement was in fact, self-contradictory as it instigates discrimination against non-Bumiputeras.
“Since the Malaysian government has initiated many programmes to enhance the well being of Bumiputeras, most recently the BEE or Bumiputera Economic Empowerment agenda, can it be misconstrued that non-Bumiputeras are not being assisted?” she questioned.
She said that in contrast, in the private sector, Khairy has undeniably directed his verbal lash against non-Bumiputeras.
Heng said she is sure that Khairy is aware that the ultimate goal of the commercial world is one of survival based on reaping profits, as in the words of the late Chinese President Deng Xiaopeng, who said that it did not matter if the cat was black or white, as long as it caught mice.
“Similarly, it is the practice of the private sector whereby the employer will invest in employees whose skills and abilities will most advance the company.
“Human capital is based on talent and not skin colour,” she stressed.
Meanwhile, Johor Umno youth deputy chief Khairul Anwar Rahmat also in response to Khairy’s remarks yesterday urged Putrajaya to form a committee to audit non-Bumiputera companies for not hiring Malay CEOs.

So to all UMNO Malay supporters here, you are a disgrace to your own race, all buta & cocky? When a Malay woman MP from Pakatan Rakyat raise a motion in Parliament to help the flood victims, who incidently are mostly Malays, the UMNP MP laughs at the motion and the motion was rejected & thrown out of the Parliament house.
So are the UMNO Malays helping the Malays.
I am sure all NON UMNO Malay supporters are TRUE Malays & they form a a better picture of UMNO who they know are helping themselves & their families & cronies.
Now see the Pakatan Rakyat Amal Squad helping the flood victims In Pahang

Most of the victims of the flood in the East coast are our Malay brothers & sisters & are the UMNO people helping our own Malays in difficulty. NO is the answer as they prefer to be here? Here....Thousands, including all leaders, are huddled in Umno's Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) to listen to speeches, shop and enjoy the leaders' hospitality at the various brunches, luncheons, teas and dinners.
Really shit UMNO? Sekarang tolong orang Melayu?
...but the Pakatan Rakyat Amal Group is REALLY helping out the Malay victims..

UMNO BARU PARTIES WHILE THE EAST COAST IS INUNDATED, LIVES ARE LOST AND THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS.
"For Najib, the floods are hitting Pahang just as his Umno gathers for its annual general assembly. Thousands, including all leaders, are huddled in Umno's Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) to listen to speeches, shop and enjoy the leaders' hospitality at the various brunches, luncheons, teas and dinners.
"None of them are in Kemaman or Kuantan, among the hardest hit towns where residents are appealing for help and wondering why Najib and his cohorts are crowing about popular votes and exhorting the party to represent the people when they are in dire need of help.
"Shouldn't Putrajaya focus on the floods in its support base rather than hang out in PWTC or are the ministers right in saying everything is under control? The fact that Malaysians themselves are organising food convoys suggest that there isn't enough aid going through and people are fed up with the government and taking matters in their own hands."

23 YEARS AGO, WE LOST OUR BAPA MALAYSIA.
Is it a coincidence? Perhaps. But we are reminded that once, we too had a leader who profoundly believed that all Malaysians regardless of creed or colour, had an equal place in this beautiful land.
RIP Nelson Mandela. Today also marks the 23rd death anniversary of Malaysia's first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj (Feb 8, 1903 - Dec 6, 1990)

To ALL my fellow TRUE Malaysians,
For those of you who have Faith in God or believe in Karma,
have any of you NOTICED how 'AFTER' the recent 13th General Elections, God or 'fate/karma' as one may put it has been QUICK to show UMNO/BN for all the things it has been 'arrogantly' showing/boasting about.
-'Safest' country in the world... yet suddenly people getting shot.
nationwide and guns go missing in the Ocean/Toilet.
-Promised that the Prices of Fuel, Sugar, Electricity will NOT
increase AFTER elections...but???
- The said IF Pakatan were to RULE, the country would go
bankrupt but Selangor alone under Pakatan has recorded the
HIGHEST BUDGET SURPLUS IN HISTORY and Malaysia's
Sovereign Ratings had been DOWNGRADED to due such
massive Federal Government Debts cause by them till
NOW they are SEARCHING for ways to get money from
the Public through GST and raising Property Assesment
Taxes in KL and cutting subsidies.
NOW it seems, God or 'Karma' as some would put it has acted even further through these floods affecting many States including Pahang.
The real SCARY QUESTION is...
...was THE "LYNAS" RARE EARTH PROCESSING FACTORY spared from these floods???

SLOW TO REACT T'ganu govt held responsible for worsening flood crisis
PAS is severely criticising the Terengganu government's slow response in helping the flood victims, despite the flood situation in the state worsening by this afternoon.
Batu Burok assemblyman, Dr Syed Azman Syed Ahmad Nawawi said the the flooding this year, was more than expected, with floods already occurring in the second day of heavy rain.
He said the rains yesterday caused several districts in the state to be flooded and the areas worst hit were Kemaman, especially in the Air Puteh area.
"As of noon today, many other areas especially in Kemaman were inundated by water. A large number of people need to move to higher ground but were trapped.
"Regrettably, until now aid from the Terengganu state government has yet to arrive, " he said when contacted.
Azman who is also a member of PAS' central comittee said the attitude of state government was deplorable.
"The flood victims meanwhile, are in dire situation and in need of immediate aid," he added.
The parlimentarian said he was disappointed with the attitude of the leadership of the state government who seemed to be more concerned with the ongoing Umno general assembly, and were shirking their responsibilities to the people.
He hoped that the state government would not turn a blind eye to the suffering of the victims of the flooding in all the affected areas. - Harakahdaily
