Hi Tun,

I have been reading your blog ever since it first came up. I was so contented with everything around me when you were Prime Minister. I just felt secured.
After you decided to step down, I felt a need to be more aware of my surrounding as the security is just some how stepped down.
Anyway, just wanted to say that I LOVE this post. Malaysia is not perfect but it is home.
Thank you so much for being you. You are such an inspiration.

Salam Tun.

To The Hidden Secret (whoever or whatever you are),

I believe you are a capable person with the capacity to think in a most rational manner. Don’t let personal feelings arising from deep frustration, disappointment in life and the likes to affect your thinking and to be made known to us.

If you wish to give comparisons, let it be ‘apple to apple’.
However you chose to compare ‘apple to rambutan’:

1. Likening the BN to USA and the PR to USSR and whatnot.

2. You readily admit yet accept that PROVEN devil Anwar.

3. You give examples on change of government in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea,….thus likewise Malaysia is no exception.

4. You helped spread the hearsay hanky-panky deals/corruptions in Tun’s blog when none were brought to court which contradicted claims of evidence/documents easily available.

5. You believe it is sensible and unavoidable to make comparison on the correctly worded truth from pro-government media to the rowdy & unfounded slanderous garbage of PKR fanatics, as due to circumstances.

Don’t ridicule and belittle yourself.

Tun,
Izinkan saya sekali lagi untuk menjawap tulisan The Hidden Secret pada 20 September 2012.
The Hidden Secret, kan saya dah kata dan betul jangkaan saya sebelum ini bahawa anda mempunyai motif dan agenda Hidden Secret tersendiri dalam politik.
Setelah diamat-amati tulisan saudara, saya yakin bahawa saudara ini sebenarnya propembangkang dan dakwaan saudara bahawa anda mempunyai kawan dan ‘boleh minum kopi’ dengan kawan daripada kedua-dua parti pemerintah BN dan pembangkang Pas cuma satu camouflage bagi memperjuangkan fahaman dan sokongan anda terhadap pembangkang secara licik dan halus.
Saya sebenarnya malas untuk menjawap tulisan anda.Cuba anda baca berita mengenai ucapan Tun dengan tajuk ‘Negara bakal berdepan masalah’ di muka 5 Utusan Malaysia Khamis 20 September 2012.
Tajuk kecil berita itu pula berbunyi “Jika rakyat bereksperimen menukar kerajaan – Dr. Mahathir”.
Saya cuma nak menambah sedikit. JIka anda seorang penulis Melayu, anda seharusnya faham bahawa negara ini unik mempunyai rakyat berbilang kaum, agama dan budaya.
Walaupun Amerika Syarikat atau mana-mana negara lain mempunyai pelbagai etnik, rakyat mereka cuma bertutur dalam satu bahasa iaitu bahasa Inggeris.
Agama mereka pun boleh dikatakan satu iaitu kristian dan kedua yahudi manakala lainnya cuma agama pecisan yang dianuti golongan minoriti.
AS atau mana-mana negara lain mampu mempunyai sistem dua parti sebagai contoh kalau rakyat tidak suka parti demokrat, mereka boleh pilih parti republican.
Mana-mana parti yang menang, walaupun pemimpinnya seorang negro, perjuangan mereka hanya satu iaitu untuk kepentingan negara AS dan rakyatnya.
Rakyat AS walaupun pelbagai etnik, bertutur dalam satu bahasa dan hanya mempunyai satu kiblat iaitu negara AS.
Negro AS walaupun berkulit hitam, tidak ada kenangan nostalgia mengenai negara asal mereka di Afrika.
Mereka tidak tahu pun bertutur dalam bahasa Afrika mahupun mempunyai sentimen terhadap negara asal moyang mereka dan tiada akhbar di AS yang sarat dengan berita mengenai Afrika.
Mereka rakyat AS, jadi apa perlu membaca berita negara asal usul moyang mereka seperti yang terdapat di Malaysia?
Di negara kita, kita mempunyai pelbagai bahasa pertuturan, sekolah pelbagai etnik, agama dan rakyat yang masih tidak fasih menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan di sebalik 55 tahun negara merdeka.
Sentimen negara asal nenek moyang masih tebal, ada akhbar hampir separuh daripada keseluruhan muka surat penuh dengan berita mengenai negara asal usul nenek moyang.
Saya bukan rasis tetapi akhbar Melayu tidak memenuhi akhbar mereka dengan berita-berita di Indonesia, sebab bagi mereka, Malaysia adalah satu-satunya negara mereka dan tempat mereka dilahirkan dan mati nanti.
Melayu Malaysia tiada sentimen nostalgia dengan Indonesia sebab asal usul mereka sejak berkurun lamanya ialah di negara ini.
Mereka juga tiada negara lain untuk lari jika berlaku sesuatu mahupun untuk mencari rezeki tidak seperti sesetengah etnik lain.
Jika ada persamaan antara Melayu Malaysia dan Indonesia hanya satu iaitu mereka bangsa yang miskin dan perlu dibantu oleh kerajaan sebab terlalu lama dijajah oleh bangsa asing.
Saudara Hidden Secret, cadangan saudara itu mungkin boleh dilaksanakan pada tahun 2032 nanti apabila masyarakat Melayu menjadi bangsa yang dominan sama ada dalam politik dan ekonomi.
Tetapi jika bangsa Melayu membuat silap peratuhan sekarang terutama dalam PRU-13 nanti, nasib mereka akan lebih malang lagi dan mereka akan tinggal dalam kedaifan dan merempat di negara sendiri.
Ada sebuah parti belum berkuasa lagi sudah awal-awal lagi bercadang untuk mengurangkan kakitangan sektor awam.
Untuk apa tujuan ini, saudara fikirlah sendiri.Jika sekarang pun parti yang saudara sokong bercakaran satu sama lain jangan terlalu harap ada check and balance antara parti-parti ini jika berkuasa nanti.
Isu ekonomi dan agama bukan suatu yang boleh dipertaruhkan atau jadi bahan eksperimen saudara.
Hari ini mungkin saudara tidak kisah kerana mungkin isu-su ini tidak menjejaskan kepentingan saudara atau saudara mara saudara sendiri.
Apa yang pasti ialah jika kita silap pertaruhan, akibatnya sungguh hebat yang melibatkan survival bangsa Melayu sendiri.
Pepatah Melayu ada menyebut, “Terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata badan binasa”.
Ada lagi satu pepatah tak kurang juga menariknya, “Nasi sudah jadi bubur”.
JIka saudara seorang penulis bukan Melayu, saya faham maksud dan tujuan tulisan saudara.
Salam Tun.

Salam Tun and All,

The analysis provided by Hidden Secret is a bit too confusing. When he implied that we should be like China he is not comparing apple to apple with Malaysia.

He uses China as a balance of world power between the West but he also equate China to Malaysia as a country. This is very wrong as China is authoratarian country and dictator. The power is very solid and unquestionable. They are not democratic country as yet.

However, if we are to be like China it can also be good. Actually, power should come out very solid. If we break Malaysia into various sections with opposing views on each other, the country would not going to move anywhere as politician have to go through very long campaign to convince all of the interested parties. Still some of the parties may have going to object it altogether.

Further, the accountabilities is going to be very difficult to establish. With equal power to all of the parties, pointing fingers will frequently happens.

The system based on distrust is proven to be the reason why most of the government initiatives failed. This is due to excessive protocols and governance where it resulted in delay in decision making and heavy politics. In my opinion, people governance really does not work and country like this such as India is heavily exposed to all level of corruption.

I am sorry but this is my views. Loose coalition of the PR will not going to work. Even inside the coalition itself there is a great distant of opposing views with each other. Some people claims that PR is Islamic while in the same time claimed to be Liberal and Democratic.

Islam is Syumul. Syumul actually means holistic and we should know how to compartmentalised our thinking not mix it all together to become ‘rojak’.

The Hidden Secret — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 05:25:41 +0000

Peace!

First, let us look at our world.

During the Cold War from 1947–1991, there were two superpowers with profound economic and political differences ie. the USA and the USSR. Are they both angels? Or one of them was an angel and the other one was a devil? Or were both of them devils?

From year 1992 until now, USA has become the single superpower in the world. Is she (USA) an angel? Or is she (USA) a devil?

For other countries, which one is better? Is it better to have two superpowers (one with a Communist ideology and the other with a Democratic ideology) or one superpower with a Democratic ideology?

Let us take China as an example. James Hsiung (1987) concluded that CHINA BENEFITTED MUCH MORE THAN EITHER OF THE SUPERPOWERS FROM VARIOUS COALITION SHIFTS THAT OCCURRED OVER TIME.

Political scientists Andrew J. Nathan and Robert S. Ross certainly makes good sense: “During the Cold War, CHINA WAS THE ONLY MAJOR COUNTRY THAT STOOD AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO SUPERPOWER CAMPS, A TARGET OF INFLUENCE AND EMNITY FOR BOTH.

Both, Communism and Democracy are not the perfect political ideologies. Both have advantages/strength and disadvantages/weaknesses.

What’s more important is to have a good leader regardless of the political ideologies we practice or condone to, whether it is democracy, communism, monarchy or dictatorship.

Now, let us go back to Malaysia.

Let us imagine that BN is the USA, PR is the USSR and Malaysian citizens are China. Similar to China, the Malaysian citizens have a choice to choose between BN or PR. Like the USA (Democracy) and USSR (Communism), both BN and PR are not perfect, both have strength and weaknesses.

The Malaysian citizens now have two options :-

1. To let BN become the single superpower in Malaysia, which is similar to the period after the Cold War where the USA become the single superpower in the world.

Or…

2. To have two superpowers in Malaysia ie BN and PR, which is similar to the cold war period where there were two superpowers (USA and USSR, with two different ideologies).

As concluded by James Hsiung, CHINA BENEFITTED MUCH MORE THAN EITHER OF THE SUPERPOWERS FROM VARIOUS COALITION SHIFTS THAT OCCURRED OVER TIME. Will the Malaysian citizens benefited more if political power shifts between BN and PR occurred over time in Malaysia?

Anwar Ibrahim and PR are not perfect. Definitely, they will fail in fulfilling all their promises. However, their presence in the Malaysia’s political arena will help to balance one party (BN) to become too strong and too corrupt.

WE DO NOT NEED AN ANGEL TO BALANCE OFF A DEVIL BUT WE COULD ALSO USE ANOTHER DEVIL TO BALANCE OFF A DEVIL.

Anwar is not an Angel. I trust what Tun and Umi Hafilda said about Anwar. However, he (Anwar) will not going to exist forever in the Malaysia’s political arena. He will eventually gone or die. Anwar may think that he is successful in using the people for his political ambition. However, I think it is the other way around. I think that HIS (ANWAR) PRESENCE NOW IS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR MALAYSIANS IN CREATING A STRONG TWO POLITICAL COALITIONS IN MALAYSIA. Anwar has all it takes to do this for the Malaysians. He has lots of money, he has external support, he has ambition and determination. Other than Anwar, we do not have any candidate to achieve this for us. Without Anwar, our chance to have two strong political coalitions in Malaysia is gong to be extremely difficult and impossible.

In a democratic country, a dominated single party or a dominated single coalition political parties will never be the best option for the citizens. A good example is Singapore. Being a single political party which has ruled Singapore since 1959, PAP controls almost all aspect of the Singaporeans life – artificially high price of houses, artificially high price of cars, two children policy, mass influx of immigrants and expats, Denunciation / Public liberties, expensive tertiary education, GST to name a few. However, there is nothing or little the Singaporeans could do because PAP is too strong.

Malaysia is moving towards the same trend also – artificially high price of houses, artificially high price of cars, mass influx of immigrants, expensive tertiary education, moving into the implementation of GST, inefficient and expensive public transportation system, unnecessary payment of commission to Perimekar, PKFZ scandal, naval vessel scandal, cow scandal, etc. However, there is nothing or little the Malaysians could do because BN is too strong and has been ruling Malaysia since 1957.

Let us all be like China during the cold war. China never accept USA or USSR as her (China) permanent ally but she (China) shifted her (China) alliance between the two superpowers to leverage the cold war between the two superpowers. China realized that she (China) was in a position to make demands to the two superpowers. China doesn’t or care less what USA or USSR will think about her (China). What important for China was to leverage as much as possible from the two superpowers.

It is good that PR coalition was formed by three political parties with three different ideologies. Why is it good?

In BN, nobody could do anything when Perimekar received unnecessary commissions for the purchase of submarines (PR claimed that the submarines are used or second hand submarines). But in PR, if PAS wants to cut-off people’s hand, DAP will oppose to it. If DAP wants to give 999 years lease to the Chinese, the Malays in PAS and PR will oppose to it. If PR wants to give more rooms to the LGBT, PAS will oppose to it. Their different ideologies is a blessing to us.

So… we don’t have to be loyal to any political parties or political alliance. What do we get if we are loyal to any political party or political alliance? What we, the rakyat should do is to leverage as much as we could from them. Always remember that… we are the shareholders of Malaysia Berhad who appoint them as our chairman and directors. We pay them (taxes, duties, permits, summonses, fines, etc), they (BN or PR) have to work for us and we owe them (BN and PR) nothing.

Rgds.

Tun,
Izinkan saya menjawap tulisan The Hidden Secret 18 September 2012.
Antaranya beliau menulis quote “All of us have different views and opinions. However, NO PERSONAL ATTACK PLEASE. COMMENT ON THE CONTENT, NOT ON THE CONTRIBUTOR”
Nampaknya The Hidden Secret sudah lebih sudu dari kuah.Setahu saya ini blog Tun bukan blog The Hidden Secret.
Walaupun saya setuju dengan cadangan saudara The Hidden Secret seelok-eloknya tiada personal attack terhadap commenters dan tumpu kepada content yang ditulis oleh Tun, ada kalanya sesetengah penyumbang pendapat perlu dibalas balik kerana menulis secara biadab, berbentuk perkauman yang hanya mementingkan kaum mereka sahaja , sebagai contoh menuduh orang lain sebagai rasis sedangkan mereka sendiri lebih rasis, yang suka menyalahkan pihak lain termasuk mereka yang mempunyai agenda tertentu untuk kepentingan diri sendiri.
Untuk pengetahuan The Hidden Secret, saya tiada apa-apa untuk seperti kata saudara untuk ‘attack’ pemimpin tersohor seperti Tun Mahathir ke, DS Najib ke, Rosmah Mansor ke dan sebagainya .
Saudara, adakah beg tangan isteri PM yang tiada kena mengena dengan tulisan Tun pun nak dijadikan bahan perbahasan dalam blog ini?
Bukankah cadangan saudara ini merupakan tulisan berbentuk ‘personal attack” terhadap seseorang iaitu isteri PM yang tiada kena mengena dengan politik?
Bukankah cadangan saudara itu lari daripada cadangan yang saudara sendiri buat iaitu bahas terhadap kandungan tulisan Tun dan bukan perkara lain termasuk serangan berbentuk personal?
Nampaknya saudara bercakap tak serupa bikin.
What kind of a person are you saudara The Hidden Secret?
Rendah betul nilai maruah dan cetek pemikiran saudara.Bukan ini double standard namanya?Bukankah ini juga merupakan satu personal attack dan tuduhan melulu namanya?
Bagi saya, saya tidak peduli apa beg Rosmah Mansor pakai dan sebagainya termasuk perkara-perkara peribadi orang lain yang tidak ada kena mengena dengan kita dan yang tidak menjejaskan kepentingan orang ramai dan keselamatan negara.
Jika mereka layak dan mampu membelinya, apa salahnya saudara?
Jika saudara ada duit, apa salahnya saudara pakai beg berjenama dan membeli berlian yang berat dan berkilau-lilau untuk isteri saudara?
Habis duit itu kalau tidak digunakan, nak bawa ke kubur ke?Kalau nak bawa duit ke kubur tak laku, cuma boleh bawa duit daripada kedai menjual keranda di kedai Cina.Duit itu laku saudara bawa untuk menebus dosa supaya dapat masuk ke syurga.
Perlu saya tegaskan di sini, saya tidak ada apa-apa kepentingan sama ada dengan Tun, PM atau isteri beliau dan mereka tidak mengenali saya.
Dan saya cukup menyampah dan meluat orang seperti saudara yang suka membuat tuduhan melulu terhadap orang lain.
Come on la, saudara, kalau nak attack pun seperti saudara kata attack lah PM sahaja takkan isteri PM pun jadi sasaran?
Kata orang bersikap gentelman la sikit saudara, elakkan diri daripada menuduh atau membuat fitnah terhadap orang lain terutama wanita yang tiada kena mengena dengan politik.
Hanya disebabkan suami seseorang itu ahli politik adakah wajar kita seperti saudara kata ‘attack’ sekali isteri dan ahli keluarga ahli politik itu yang tiada kena mengena atau tidak berkecimpong dalam politik?
Saya rasa-rasa saudara ini pun ada agenda politik tertentu kot?
Itu pasal saudara ada The Hidden Secret? yang saudara seorang sahaja yang tahu.
Salam Tun.

1. Most drug lords do not traffic drugs themselves. They themselves never see, never touch, never hold or even never stand near to the drugs which they are selling. They get other people to traffic and sell the drugs for them. Hence, the term drug trafficking and drug dealers are use.

Excerpt from Wikipedia…

“Such figures are often difficult to bring to justice, as they might never be directly in possession of something illegal, but are insulated from the actual trade in drugs by several layers of underlings”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_lord

2. Israel does not rule the world directly but they rule it by proxy.

http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2012/08/13/dr-m-israel-rules-the-world-by-proxy/

3. People use other people to kill people, hence the term ‘assasination’.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination

4. Tun does not have to defend his writings in this blog by himself because other people will defend his writings.

5. PR politicians have to directly instill hatred during their political ‘ceramah’ because they do not have the mainstream media to do it for them. BN politicians do not have to directly instill hatred towards PR and PR politicians because the BN controlled media, religious scholars, cyber troopers and supporters are doing it for them.

http://visitskc.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/media-and-power-how-politicians-use-media/

Examples as follow…

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Politik/20120810/po_07/DAP-satu-ancaman-kepada-umat-Islam

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Politik/20120808/po_01/Haram,-berdosa-undi-DAP

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=2003&dt=1223&pub=utusan_malaysia&sec=Forum&pg=fo_01.htm

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Politik/20120809/po_03/Setuju-saranan-tidak-sokong-DAP

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Rencana/20120912/re_06/Anwar-menganut-faham-'anarki‘?

http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Politik/20120906/po_05/Pembangkang-terap-budaya-kebebasan-melampau

These are some of the result of instilling hatred into political supporters :-

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pitiY8VtjA&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-rTdzsiayg&feature=related

These are more scary than the act of an immature 19 years old student.

Like Tun said, They only know hate. Hatred does not develop nations.
