Najib - Bretton Wood 2

Saturday, November 22, 2008

During a press conference in Lima, Peru, Najib had stated that Malaysia will back up efforts to re-establishes Bretton Wood system which had ceased operating since 197xx. Najib commented further that due to huge monetary transaction conducted daily, and subjected to fluctuation - companies need to be sure the amount that they ready to commit.

Well, I agreed very much with Najib - the speculation - making money out of no where - money trading - had made international transaction become too risky and deadly. Asian Financial Crisis (1997)is an example of such incident.

Under Rated? - That is good!!

Today, i received a respond for my comment at Khoo Kay Pheng's Straight Talk [Read Here].

Mr Khoo told me that I am incompetent economic analyst and suggest that UMNO should stop using my service.

Hehehe. I love the respond - Mr Khoo underrated my ability and knowledge in understanding the economic situation and decision making. Well that is just fine with me - since each challenge will make me stronger and grow better.

I remembered that my dad used to challenge me (more accurately - humiliate me in public) after I failed to score straight A's for my UPSR. I responded positively and surprise him with straight A's in my PMR in 1994 and 9A's in my SPM in 1996.

Mr Khoo, let me get this clear for you, I am not paid for my writing - I am doing this for my Bangsa and my Nusa. I hate to see that the Malays being so helpless in facing ruthless and unjustified demands from others.

Nothing personal about it.

p/s: Hope I can be on par with you one day.

An MBA at last?

Monday, November 17, 2008


Finally, after more than two years of struggling, I managed to complete my MBA course (but with a clause - provided that I do not fails the last subject).

The last paper that I sat for exam was due on last Friday - 14 November 2008 and it was terrible. The question was totally out of context; at least not as what the course leader described. That was the second time, I was cheated (of some sort) by a course leader.

And it happened to be that, in both occasion the the course leaders are Indian. Hey... I am not being racist here, but just want to highlight some statistical figures. They are not Malaysian Indian anyway!

I remembered reading a posting in Rocky's Bru. [Read Here] In summary, the article claimed that Bar Council practices double standard and favoritism. Do you know who is the Bar Council's current president? Who else in the council? Well go find out yourself! [Click here if you are too lazy]


So what is the lesson that you can learn from this issue?
1) Hem, being an MBA is not the license that may prevent you from being cheated by other people.
2) You may want to re-consider twice/triple/more than many time any statements from our not-so-fair skin 'friends'.

Maybe you can adopt only 20%-50% of the points, the rest just ignore them.

Not too long ago, the same council hold a forum "Embracing Islam". They invited all scholars; Universities's professors, NGOs and political parties' leaders both Muslim and non Muslim. They want to sit down and discuss the Syariah Law together.

Here are excerpts from Ragu's press statement of 8 August 2008:

"The Bar Council is not questioning the provisions of Article 121(1A), which confer Syariah jurisdiction over Muslims on the Syariah Courts. The coexistence of two separate legal jurisdictions is not a new or uncommon phenomenon and there are naturally issues of conflicts of laws arising from the different jurisdictions."

"...We recognise and respect Article 121(1A); however, there is a strong viewpoint that it is unjust to compel anyone to be subjected to laws and courts that are based on a religion that they do not profess, and this viewpoint must be addressed."

"...The Bar Council reiterates that the forum will not dispute Article 121(1A), nor question Islam or its status as enshrined in Article 3 of the Federal Constitution. The forum is not about conversion per se, as the Bar Council endorses the absolute right of individuals to embrace Islam. Instead, the forum will address the ancillary issues that arise from such situations and will emphasise the need for laws, and a judicial system, that protects everyone equally."

"...The forum is open to everyone. The Bar Council urges supporters and critics alike to attend the forum and to air their views so that together, we can strive to seek just solutions to the issues faced by our fellow citizens."


Note: Ragunath Kesavan is the Bar Council's Vice President

This Bar Council's animal chauvinists & racists are actually telling you that we Malay/Muslim should listen to their opinion and view before we made our law. I thought the source of Syariah Law is Al-Quran, Hadith (Prophet Muhammad sayings and actions) and Ijtihad Ulama' (decision made by Muslim's scholars forum). Believe me, that was only the beginning, they will push you inch by inch until we - Malay Muslim have no where else to go.

I am telling you that is way too much. We must stop this from happen in the future. Instead, we are the one who should dictate what they should do and what they shouldn't!!

So guys, start your action now!!

4 EXCO Terengganu Bakal Gugur?

Monday, November 3, 2008

Semalam satu mesyuarat khas Badan Perhubungan UMNO Negeri telah diadakan untuk membincangkan tindakan yang bakal diambil ke atas empat orang EXCO kerajaan negeri kerana membelakangi arahan Ketua Perhubungan UMNO negri yang juga Menteri Besar Terengganu, Dato' Ahmad Said untuk tidak bertanding dalam pemilihan UMNO Bahagian baru-baru ini.

Nasib empat orang EXCO tersebut, Yahya Khatib Mohamad(Pengkalan Berangan), Hj Ashaari Idris(Langkap), Khazan Che Mat(Batu Rakit) dan Dato' Mohamed Awang Tera (Chukai) adalah nama-nama yang disebut-sebut sebagai bakal digugurkan dari barisan ahli EXCO kerajaan negeri.

Walaupun setelah dinasihatkan oleh DSAB sendiri untuk berpendiriaan lebih demokratik dan tidak menghalang proses demokrasi dalam UMNO negeri, Dato' Ahmad Said tetap dengan pendiriaannya untuk menyingkirkan musuh-musuh dari kem utara.

Episod ini masih belum berakhir. Rentetan daripada siri pemecatan empat EXCO ini akan berlaku gelombang kedua dimana dikhabarkan ahli-ahli UMNO Marang akan meletak jawatan beramai-ramai sebagai tanda protes pemecatan Ketua Bahagian mereka yang baru sebagai ahli EXCO negeri.

Adakah ini akan benar-benar berlaku? Kita tunggu dan lihat.
