| MUTAKHIR, 14 September: Newsweek guna label "Malaysian Crook Najib". Malu kita. |
IKUT laporan Berita Harian Online yang memetik Bernama, Malaysia akan guna duit Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja (KWSP), Khazanah Nasional Bhd dan Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) bagi membantu mengukuhkan ekonomi Amerika Syarikat.

| Trump (kiri) dapat jamiman Najib |
Inilah yang Perdana
Menteri, (Datuk Seri I Mappadulung
Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sandrobone Sultan Abdul Jalil) Mohd Najib Abdul Razak,
kata dia janji kepada Presiden Amerika, Donald Trump, dalam pertemuan di Rumah
Putih pada 13 September.
[Komen "Anonymous” tidak akan disiarkan.
Tolong guna nama sebenar atau samaran.]
Najib berkata, KWSP
sahaja dijangka melabur di antara AS$3 bilion dan AS$4 bilion (kira-kira RM13 bilion dan RM17.2 bilion) di negara itu.
Apa kata rakyat jelata Malaysia?
Adakah patut dan termampu oleh kita untuk guna duit negara kita bantu perkukuhkan ekonomi Amerika?
Nak melabur di negara sendiri pun kita tak berapa mampu sehingga terpaksa berhutang berpuluh bilion ringgit daripada China, apa halnya kita nak bantu kukuhkan ekonomi Amerika?
Kalau melabur untuk cari keuntungan atau beli kapal terbang untuk MAB itu logiklah. Tapi nak bantu kukuhkan ekonomi Amerika bunyi macam cerita Mat Jenin.
Ekonomi Malaysia terlalu kecil untuk bercita-cita besar bantu ekonomi Amerika. Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (GDP) kita tahun ini dianggarkan AS$309 bilion (kira-kira RM1,359.6 bilion) saja berbanding Amerika sebanyak AS$19.4 trilion (RM85.36 trilion).
Yang sepatutnya berlaku
ialah Amerika bantu kita dengan menambah pelaburan di negara kita. Sebaliknya
makin banyak pelabur Amerika tarik keluar modal mereka dan berpindah ke China,
Indonesia, Thailand dan Vietnam.
Tak tahulah mungkin Bernama tak lapor yang Najib lobi Trump supaya Amerika labur semula di Malaysia!
"Jadi itu amat penting bagi Amerika Syarikat."
Bagaimanapun saya mungkin terlepas pandang hasil perbincangan Najib-Trump mengenai pembersihan etnik ke atas orang Rohingya oleh rejim Burma yang media massa arus perdana kata antara sebab mengapa Najib pergi jumpa Trump.
Kalau sesiapa ada maklumat
tolong panjangkan kepada saya supaya kita boleh kongsi bersama. Terima kasih.
Wallahuaklam.
UNLIKE NORWAY, MALAYSIA SHOWCASES 1MDB!
ReplyDeleteClosing remarks: Ok folks, especially Malay and bumiputra readers, listen closely.
All the above was possible because the gomen had excess oil money to burn. Now the oil money is drying up. The gomen has no more money.
Chief Thief has confirmed (more than once) that if not for the GST, the gomen will not even be able to pay the salaries of 1.6 million Civil Servants.
Everything is being cut - PTPTN loans, hospital services, no more patrols by forest rangers, no more subsidies, GST taxes are eating more into our purchasing power.
The Chief Thief has said that out of a 14 million workforce, only 2.1 million actually pay taxes. It will be interesting to see the racial mix up of those 2.1 million people and what portion each race contributes to the gomen's income tax revenues.
But we can rest assured that a large portion of those 2.1 million who pay taxes are the non Malays / non bumiputras. I really don't think that the 7.0 million mostly Malays and bumiputras who are on the list of BR1M recipients actually pay taxes.

The country's oil production has experienced overall decline since peaking at 862,000 bbl/d in 2004 as a result of maturing fields, particularly larger fields in the shallow waters offshore Peninsular Malaysia.

WIth finite and declining & maturing oil and gas reserves, Malaysia hasn't a showcase for the investment of income derived from its oil and gas production unlike Norway, which has invested the income from its oil and gas reserves so wisely that it now has what many consider to be the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, estimated to be worth $1tr (£0.6tr) by 2020.

Malaysia to purchase Boeing planes, GE engines
Fox Business Videos•September 13, 2017
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak proposes to increase the number of Boeing planes and GE engines it purchases to strengthen the U.S. economy.
WHAAATTT ??? why help to strengthen the US economy when Malaysia is pleading for help from China for money? Isn't this ludricous? Senseless really.
Throw good money from Khazanah and EPF to invest in US, and then borrow from China?
Throw good money for MAS to buy 25 Boeings, is MAS doing so well?
Why not throw the good money at the really poor in Sabah, Sarawak and the rural heartlands.
China must be falling down backwards laughing, and serves PM right when they will rightfully refuse further financial help to Malaysia. They will say, find the money from Khazanah and EPF to get yourself out of the 1MDB debacle.
And is US so poor, to beg for "alms" from Malaysia? You mean without the purchase of the Boeings, the US economy will go down the drain? Is US really begging for help from Malaysia?
PM went to US without a proper agenda and now he has gotten us into this mess.
Not a good omen!
Sekarang kita faham apa yang di maksudkan oleh Sang Mappadulong bahawa dia akan "melebar layar seraya melabuh sauh".
ReplyDeleteMacam tak lojik bunyinye kan, kata-kata Mappafulong tu. Tapi Sang Mappadulong pedulik apa jika bunyinye tak logik. Bunyi tak penting, yang penting berapa yang masyuk.
Formula apa yang digunakan pada sebuah negara yang punya hanya RM1.36ribu juta menolong negara yang punya RM85,360.00 ribu juta. Entah .. tak terjangkau fikiran saya untuk memikirkannya. Mungkin PM kita yang bijak bistari ada rancangannye. Mungkin ini ada semacam pelaburan MLM kot?
Yang logik dan saya senang faham, jika dulu-dulu Sang Mappadulong ini beli kapalselam dengan kos RM2 biliyun. Komisennye setengah biliyun.
Cuba kita teka berapa yang dapat jika beli kapalterbang dengan harga RM43 biliyun. Mintak Chedet kira berapa kilometer lori beratur hangkut duit komisen nanti.
Tapi yang tak logik nye, ngapa pi beli belah barang Amerika dalam keadaan duit kita tengah jatuh paling teruk dalam sejarahnye.

ReplyDeletethere will be an exodus in withdrawal of EPF funds held by members.
Why help USA to be great again, Malaysia needs more help!
We will withdraw our money.
How to trust a leader who says just so casually, EPF and Khazanah will invest in US to help strengthen US economy.
Man, where is your loyalty? Now we know it is not to Malaysia.
Datuk,
ReplyDelete- Mungkin ini adat kebugisaannya, Najib berperangai macam perigi mencari timba.
- Sepatutnya, Trump yang datang berterima kasih pada Najib sebab kita mau beli kapalterbang Boeing yang akan menjana beribu-ribu peluang pekerjaan baru di industry pembuatan AS.
- Setahu aku, syarikat besar macam MAS akan menilai dengan terperinci sebelum membuat pilihan antara Boeing atau AirBus mengikut kemampuan kewangan dan strategi jangka panjang MAS, bukan membeli ikut dasar kehendak hanya sebuah party politik.
- Jadi persoalannya, apakah pembelian pesawat2 Boeing itu satu corporate business decision atau personal political consideration?
- Apa ke ini juga akan dibawa untuk dibahaskan di Parliment nanti sebab bukan sikit duit rakyat dipakai?
- Percaya la, itu adalah satu pembohongan Najib saja menjelang PRU14 sebab tak ada MOU dengan Boeing atau dengan mana2 pihak AS masa lawatan nya.
- Lawatan nya ini hanya untuk PR saja...untuk bahan media massa UMNO yang ditujukan pada masyrakat Melayu di kampung2 saja untuk menafikan kes DoJ AS terhadap 1MDB.
- Kes Najib sama dengan orang kuat Panama pada suatu ketika dulu, Noriege, talibarut CIA yang disanjung2, sebelum diheret ke mahkamah AS dan di penjarakan di sana.

More than 1,100 children have been killed in Yemen, most in airstrikes by the Saudi military coalition, while some as young as 10 have been recruited to fight, according to the latest UN figures on the three-year conflict.
Based on interviews with survivors, witnesses and family members as well as site visits, a report by the UN human rights office reveals an escalation in hostilities in the country, with more airstrikes in the first half of this year than in all of 2016. Human rights violations and abuses continue unabated, with at least 5,144 civilians killed and 8,749 injured in what the UN describes as an “entirely manmade catastrophe”.

Banyak ke untung MAS?
Beruntunglah rakyat Amerika kerana dapat pelaboran dari Malaysia.

Datuk,
ReplyDelete- (Datuk Seri I Mappadulung Daeng Mattimung Karaeng Sandrobone Sultan Abdul Jalil) Mohd Najib Abdul Razak is a typical Malay of Bugis descent, nonetheless, a Malay.
- Macam Melayu, dia suka berhutang.
- Kita sudah masuk perangkap "Hutang OBOR China"...berhutang beratus billion...menyokong policy OBOR China yang menabur hutang sebanyak USD 1 Trillion dalam project2 mega infrastucktur di merata dunia.
- Najib berhutang sama China bukan untuk melabur dan membuka peluang pekerjaan di Malaysia tetapi untuk industri pembuataan di China.
- Konon ECRL itu untuk 'mengalahkan' logistik port Singapura. Macam la Singapura itu bodoh, duduk diam2 curi duit rakyat macam dia.
Sekarang, Singapura sudah berjinak2 dengan OBOR China untuk memperkasakan servis port mereka.
Port Kuantan belum ada...jadi nak lawan servis port Singapura pula.
Kena minta hutang lagi dengan China kalau nak invest di port Kuantan.
Ini la strategi OBOR China, melaga2kan Malaysia dengan Singapura.
- Belum habis cerita hutang OBOR China, kita di kejutkan lagi dengan hutang baru Najib nak beli Boeing untuk MAS yang berjumlah berbillion-billion.
- AS dan China duduk ketawa melihat Najib macam cacing kepanasan nak selesaikan kes DoJ dan hutang 1MDB.
- Najib nak selesaikan kes DoJ dengan janji2 pada Trump. Najib tau Trump suka dengar pasal buka peluang kerja di AS. Itu policy Trump.
Itu la Najib Ikrar Kukuhkan Ekonomi Amerika.
- Najib buat kerja untuk kukuhkan ekonomi China dan AS by creating more debts.
- Dengan hutang2 ini, maka hutang kita sudah melebihi RM1 Trillion!
- Walaupun Harapan ditakdirkan memerintah selepas PRU14 ini, mati kita mau bayar hutang Najib.
- Tapi kita Melayu, biar miskin berhutang asal ada gaya.
- Minta la nasihat dari Tun macam mana kita mau keluar dari belenggu hutang Najib. Hanya dia saja yang ada cara nya.
The fact is the whole world knows Najib is a crook. Trump has to go to Saudi to ask them to buy 100B worth of weapons. And here we have Najib, having to pay the lobby to spend 30 min with Trump and then when he is there he declares to the rest of the world that he wants to help strengthen the US economy! I have never come across a more bangang PM than him. That particular video is a good election tool for Pakatan to play again and again to the rakyat. A vote for Najib and BN means a vote to strengthen the US economy. Rakyat Malaysia menderita tak apa, asal US bahagia.

ReplyDeleteWell done… in the video, Najib’ body language and his tone seems humble enough… when addressing POTUS and his cabinet.
ReplyDeleteI thought the plight of Rohingyas will be the main agenda on the table because that’s where ‘major’ news make its mark around the world.
Anyway, if its going to be a sideline issue with Trump, maybe it best to ask the Chinese to help the Rohingyas instead. After-all, China as neighbor and the economic power-broker in Myanmar… with its OBOR vision and oil-pipeline… stand to loose much more than the American, if Rakhine State is unstable.
Hence, as with North Korea, China should have more clout over Myanmar than the thousand of miles away Uncle Sam to ease the suffering of Rohingyas. Furthermore, Najib have already ‘enriched’ China more then the American, albeit through debt.

This is not draining the swamp.
Unfortunately, President Trump will meet today with Prime Minister Najib of Malaysia, a visit the Wall Street Journal in an editorial last week characterized appropriately as “Trump’s Malaysia Swamp.” As an Australian expert on Southeast Asia quoted in the New York Times said, “From a pure public relations point of view, it’s a meeting the White House should avoid. . . . Even a photo op with Kim Jong-un would be better.”
The Washington Post in an editorial yesterday said that the visit “sets a new low. Not only is Mr. Najib known for imprisoning peaceful opponents, silencing critical media and reversing Malaysia’s progress toward democracy. He also is a subject of the largest foreign kleptocracy investigation ever launched by the US Justice Department.”
The Justice Department suit in question seeks recovery and forfeiture of over $1 billion in assets alleged to have been purchased with funds “misappropriated” from Malaysia’s One Malaysia Development Bank (or 1MDB), which the suit alleges is largely controlled and managed by someone identified as “Malaysian Official 1” — and who is widely known to be Najib. In addition to his overall responsibility for the more than $4 billion of misappropriated funds, some $1 billion of which were laundered in the United States, “Malaysian Official 1” personally received $731 million, of which $620 million was supposedly returned, netting him a tidy $111 million.
Did President Trump know about any of this when the Malaysian Prime Minister was added to his schedule? If Najib dares to appear in a joint press conference, it’s a question that needs to be asked.
One fact not mentioned by any of those three major papers seems to provide a clue as to how this meeting was arranged. In May, a former Trump campaign aide — Healy E. Baumgardner-Nardone of the “45 Group” — registered as a foreign agent to represent the Office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia. She reported receiving $250,000 for her services.
The Malaysian government has paid lavishly in the past for Washington “swamp dwellers” to purchase influence and disparage its opponents and critics.
As the Journal editorial points out, during President Obama’s second term the Malaysians rewarded a major Democratic Party fundraiser handsomely for representing them, just before Najib secured an Obama state visit to Malaysia (the first by a US president in sixty years), and then received an even more unprecedented invitation from Obama to join him in Hawaii for a game of golf.
Back during George W. Bush’s first term, Malaysian business interests hired Belle Haven Consultants for fees in excess of $1 million over two years to promote Malaysian interests in the US.
Some of that money was reportedly used to influence the views of a prominent conservative think tank, through the intermediary of the Alexander Strategy Group, associated with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and the notorious Jack Abramoff.
During Obama’s first term, the Najib government paid millions to APCO Worldwide of Washington, a portion of which went to the London-based “Fact Based Communications, Ltd.” to hire an individual named Josh Trevino, to organize a network of bloggers to write blog posts disparaging opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim — whose coalition was growing in strength heading into the 2013 elections.
That game blew up when Trevino was fired by The Guardian of London for failing to disclose that he was on the Malaysian payroll while writing a supposedly independent column. That forced Trevino to file a belated foreign agent registration exposing the whole scheme.

September 12, 2017
Back in Malaysia, the government does more than merely disparage its critics. Just last week, in the latest development in the 1MDB case, FBI special agent Robert Heuchling asserted in a filing in court in Los Angeles that “identifying witnesses [in the case] could result in intimidation or threaten their safety,” citing “reports of local officials and politicians who have been arrested for purportedly disclosing information linked to 1MDB.” He also cited Malaysian press reports from August 30 that said “the driver of former Malaysian Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail was shot in public as a possible warning against assisting the US government in the case.”.
If President Trump were serious about “draining the swamp” in Washington, he should have found a diplomatic excuse to postpone this embarrassing meeting. Doing so would have sent a strong signal to other lobbyists attempting to sell access to the President. Having failed to do that, at a minimum he should find out who was responsible for inviting the Malaysian swamp to the White House. And if they did not properly inform him of the scandal surrounding Najib, someone needs to be disciplined.

President Trump Welcomes Anwar Ibrahim’s Jailer to the White House
By David Boaz
Anwar Ibrahim, former deputy prime minister and finance minister of Malaysia and later leader of the opposition in the parliament, is currently in jail for the second time on trumped-up charges. His jailer, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, will be welcomed to the White House by President Trump on Tuesday.
A Wall Street Journal editorial notes:
A visit to the White House is a diplomatic plum that world leaders covet. So why is President Trump bestowing this honor on Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who jailed an opposition leader and is a suspect in a corruption scandal that spans the globe?
Mr. Najib will visit the White House next week for a presidential photo-op that could help him win the next general election and imperil Malaysia’s democracy.
From 1981 to 1998 Anwar was a rising star in the UMNO party, which has produced all of Malaysia’s prime ministers since its formation in 1963. In the late 1990s, however, he became a vocal critic of what he described as the widespread culture of nepotism and cronyism within UMNO. This angered Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.
They also disagreed on how to respond to the Asian financial crisis, as Wikipedia describes:
[As finance minister, Anwar] also instituted an austerity package that cut government spending by 18%, cut ministerial salaries and deferred major projects. “Mega projects”, despite being a cornerstone of Mahathir’s development strategy, were greatly curtailed.
Although many Malaysian companies faced bankruptcy, Anwar declared: “There is no question of any bailout. The banks will be allowed to protect themselves and the government will not interfere.” Anwar advocated a free-market approach to the crisis, including foreign investment and trade liberalisation. Mahathir blamed currency speculators like George Soros for the crisis, and supported currency controls and tighter regulation of foreign investment.
Anwar was removed from office and then jailed in a trial that was criticized around the world. Amnesty International said that his trial “exposed a pattern of political manipulation of key state institutions including the police, public prosecutor’s office and the judiciary.” After his release from jail in 2004 he became leader of an opposition party and then in 2015 was sent back to jail.
In 2005 Anwar visited the Cato Institute. In the photo above, I’m giving him a copy of my book Libertarianism: A Primer, which he told me had already read – in prison. What a thing for an author to hear! Understandably, the thought of the president of the United States honoring his jailer is especially painful.
When the English Leveller John Lilburne was tried for sedition and treason in 1649, he declared, “I shall leave this Testimony behind me, that I died for the Laws and Liberties of this nation.” American presidents should honor heroes who can make such claims, not their oppressors.

' Manusia turun derjat menjadi binatang, bahkan lebih rendah. Kata Allah,(marfhum firman, lebih korang) “Mereka mempunyai hati tetapi tidak digunakan untuk memahami ayat-ayat Allah, mempunyai mata tetapi tidak digunakan untuk melihat tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah, mempunyai telinga tetapi tidak digunakan untuk mendengar ayat-ayat Allah. Mereka itu bagai binatang, bahkan lebih rendah lagi” (Qs Al-A’raf: 179).

Datuk,
ReplyDeletethere's another Malaysian tragedy, the loss of over 20 lives in the Darul Quran Ittifaqiyah Tahfiz school fire in Jalan Datuk Keramat, Kuala Lumpur.
Where is the PM?
What is more important, having an "expanded" private meeting with Trump at his New York Trump Tower or fly back immediately to KL and console the people over the loss of the children?
Certainly hope President Trump will shoo him back and say, look your people need you now in their hour of sorrow, we can discuss the 1MDB debacle another time.
MO1 ni sempat grad ke masa study kat UK dulu.. atau pun fail. Apa dia ingat Malaysia ni pak dia yg punya ka.
ReplyDeleteApa pun kompom dia postpone nak buat election tahun ni.. plan dia pi US sudah backfire.
Salam Datuk
ReplyDeleteSaya cuma ada satu perkara yang saya rasa masih belum disentuh.
Sejauh manakah Malaysia telah bersalah mengenai hubungan perdagangan rahsia dengan Korea Utara? Perkara ini disebut Trump dalam ucapan ringkasnya.
Adakah segala taburan wang yang dijanji PM kepada Trump sebagai cara untuk melepaskan diri dari hukuman PBB?
Yang jelasnya janji-janji beliau adalah untuk melepaskan diri dari kemelut 1mdb dengan DoJ.
Inilah akibatnya bila kita ada ketua negara yang sudah "compromised". Dia akan dipergunakan oleh pihak2 asing (termasuk China) untuk kepentingan mereka.
Saya cuma nak kongsi maklumat nie :

Bukan ke Tun Mahathir pada tahun 2005 mintak Kwsp labur duit di luar negara.

ReplyDeletePada 2005 memang kita patut melabur duit di luar Negara, terutamanya Amerika, kerana nilai Ringgit masih kukuh berbanding USD.
Sekarang... bila duit kita jatuh merudum, jauh lebih teruk dari Baht & Rupiah... adakah berbaloi kita labur di Amerika? Kena tunggu duit kita menyusut lebih teruk lagi atau USD semakin mengukuh berbanding Ringgit... baru dapat untung lebih.
