IRONY. Tun Abdullah Badawi is visiting Sarawak, neighbouring Brunei today (Tuesday). IRONY. Tun Lah is satisfied with progress of his brain child - the five corridors, having spent RM243.3 billion on them. IRONY. Tun Lah's visit to the Sarawak industrial heartland, is home to a smelter being built by Tan Sri Syed Mokthar, which Tun Lah had rescinded in one of his first acts as Prime Minister.
Irony. he's well awake.
ReplyDeleteThe timing of his visit to the 'neighbour' state, to me, suggests something else. Things like, crime cover-up brain-storming sessions, about the 'agreement' just naturally pop-up in mind. To me, I doubt the 'agreement' would be a clean one given that former mr number one has been exposed of unclean dealings before.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Syed Mokhtar will ask Bodowi to rasmikan the new smelter - by jumping in.

Confirm the financial terms of the smelter before shooting your mouth off.
ReplyDeleteBut to do that you need to be able to understand who bears the cost, who picks up the government guarantees and most important what the heck happens to the waste created by a smelter.
The smelter was contingent on it consuming Bakuns power. So that means if in 2015, we want to add 1000 MWs to the interior of Sabah & Sarawak, will the capacity still be there or will it be smelted?
So then Bakun - the grandiose project conceived by that man would have amounted to supplying power for a smelter
This PL bashing is the handiwork of the naive, bigoted and down right imbecilic people.
Irony. Tan Sri Syed Mokthar is an Arab and not a Malay. Why he is given a tongkat? more a wheelchair than a tongkat.
ReplyDeleteFry him ... and wipe out that fucking grin. It is sickening!
ReplyDeletePoor Pak Lah Badawi being harassed right and left!

well, nothing is wrong though with the visit. I guess it must have something to do with resolving whatever issues there are.
ReplyDeleteBelieve what we may, but what is important now is having a clear head over it and not making judgments before we know what is really going on.
IRONY?
ReplyDeleteTo many from the 1Sekolah, that is anything made of iron.
Dollah the Conman must not be allowed to come to visit any state in Malaysia especially if there is a by-election on going!
ReplyDeleteIn China such act of treason who would have to face a firing squad!
The biggest IRONY of all is that we are building him a house for RM12 million.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a hastly-arranged trip to boost BN's chances in the Sibu by-elections.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, also to placate Sarawakians and Sabahans that the government did not sell them out upon the meek surrendering of the oil blocks to Brunei.

ReplyDeleteSalam Bro.,
ReplyDeleteMy take on the L&M blocks:
Minutes of board meeting of “Score-Me Bhd” and “Rambo-Rombau Consultants” on Blocks L & M (aka “Lah-Mai” blocks); venue @ Crooked Oxbridge Club; time: few months before Honorary Chairman, Mr FIL officially retire:
1. Carigali & Murphy have done the dirty job – they have established proven reserves of about 1 billion barrels (at current & foreseeable future price of @ US$70 that would translate to a cool US$70 billion)
2. How do we get rid of Carigali & Murphy? At the stroke of the pen from Pak Hamid & Co. at Foreign Affairs – we’ll delineate the boundaries and they will be legally out of the picture
3. We’ll “package & sweeten-up” this deal with His Highness using “foreign affairs goobledegooks”, which Pak Hamid & Co. will prepare… sap-sap soi lah… HE get say 70% and we’ll get 30%... how aa? Hayya, use Petronas again la to do the fronting… Negara Bruno gets the sovereign rights to Lah-Mai blocks, but have to have “win-win” lah… so Petronas will be “invited” to commercially develop the Lah-Mai blocks la… you aa…
4. Once Petronas got invited todevelop the area, make sure our “moles” in Petronas sub-con the job to “Score-Me” and our cronies and friends la… what, the cake is big enough for everyone what… haiyya… apa susah2 to sweat it out… this is the crooked Oxbridge strategy la… short-cut & instant business strategy ma!
5. Contingency plan: in case some old crank smells the rot, spin the story & discredit him la… or better, get our honorary chairman Mr FIL to goreng some foreign affairs bulls*t la…
Meeting was adjourned with Al-Shafie, Al-Ghazali nashid…
Five corridors for RM243.3 billion is alot of money for some A4 papers, typed and bound on how our economy can be transformed.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the infrastructure, so that our eyed can see, hands can touch?
I can see, touch the KLIA, KLCC, but the corridors I only read in PAPER. Very EXPENSIVE paper.
why is Anwar Ibrahim so silent on the oil issue? He can lambast Malaysia in Cambridge, but cannot afford to offend his friend, the BODO.

Tun M : The question as to what happened to the RM270 billion that Petronas paid to Abdullah's Government has not been answered?
ReplyDeleteBodowi: Bruder, I only spent RM243.3 billion on five corridor, and there are ample reports by the consultance to justify the spending.
Tun M: Got any infrastruture to justify the spending?
Bodowi: Sorry Tun, I have to rush to the toilet now ... nice talking to you... dont call me, I'll call you.
Sebenarnya rakyat Malaysia amat patut dizalimi kerana mereka terdiri daripada golongan yang amat bodoh dan rendah maruah jati dirinya.
ReplyDeleteRakyat Malaysia senantiasa bising membantah dan menghina seorang manusia yang bernama Mahathir bin Mohamad kerana kezaliman dan kejahatannya.
Walaupun pada realitinya si 'Keling' ini telah berjaya membawa negara ini keluar dari zaman kemunduran ke mercu kejayaan.
Namun begitu rakyat Malaysia amat taksub kepada seorang manusia bernama Anwar bin Ibrahim.
Walaupun tidak siapa yang dapat memberikan secara zahir dan fakta sumbangan beliau terhadap negara ini, beliau telah diangkat ketahap tertinggi sebagai Wira Negara. Apa sebenarnya yang telah beliau lakukan, tiada siapa yang tahu.
Amat pandai berpidato dan mengupas isu hinggakan segala tuduhan yang dilemparkan terhadapnya dengan pantas dilabel fitnah...walaupun beberapa lubang jubur (antara lainnya) telah disodok oleh pemimpin 'Islam' ini.
Begitu jugalah dengan pemimpin Islam Pas dan Cina DAP yang malas saya nak komen.
Tapi teruskanlah Malaysia.
Irony indeed! Tun Lah you really let us down.... cakap tak serupa bikin.
ReplyDeleteWhere are your "towering individuals?" at least I can see the renowned Petronas Twin Tower.
I just want to forget him ever being the PM of Malaysia. It was a lost opportunity period.
Sakit hati
Dato',
ReplyDeleteHakmilik Blok L & M dah bagi kat Berunai dan kata Petronas diberi peluang kerjasama usaha carigali. Kenapa tak kekalkan hakmilik untuk Malaysia dan Petronas yang tawarkan peluang kerjasama usaha carigali kat Berunai?
Ke mana perginya Ketua Pembangkang dan Lim Kit Siang hanya menyuruh Paklah buat ulasan. Tanah dan kepentingan negara tergadai hanya perlu ulas tapi budak kena tembak nak buat Suruhanjaya DiRaja. Ke mana perginya keutamaan mereka shingga isu remeh di utamakan? Adakah sebelum ini terdapat persekongkolan di antara mereka untuk menjahanamkan kepentingan negara? Natijahnya, rakyat perlu berwaspada terhadap politik `Selective Opposition' oleh pembangkang.
Jumlah yang terlibat adalah terlalu besar iaitu RM1 juta seorang warganegara rakyat Malaysia. Pembangkang tidak perlu melibatkan pentadbiran DS Najib kerana PM pada masa itu adalah Paklah dan dia yang menandatangani surat Perjanjian tersebut. Walaupun terdapat kelulusan Kabinet sepatutnya beliau menggunakan akal dan kebijaksanaan sama ada perlu menandatanganinya. Bila orang suruh letak jawatan tau pulak corner.
Satu Malaysia patut buat sumpah Mahsuri kat Bahalol inilah biar 7 keturunannya tidur tak lena dan makan tak kenyang macam ZOMBIE.
Jangan jadikan alasan Paklah Bodoh sebagai alasan kerana isu ini terang-terangan adalah penyalahgunaan kuasa.
Hidup Tun Mahathir.

He said going to cut budget deficit, but that didnt happen, and no infra jobs to justify RM243 billion.
Where did all the money go, you prick?
Is he really going to jump in the smelter? Esok cuti umumke????
ReplyDeleteRocky has now become the defacto minister of propaganda in the Najib regime. His word is more than its weight in gold. From my observation, Ahmad Talib, the head honcho of Media Prima, is very worried. Worried his position is under threat from Rocky. Ahmad's days are numbered.

ReplyDeleteMalaysian living in Spore who had threesome sex with his fiancee and a 14-year-old girl was jailed seven months for carnal connection with a girl under 16.
ReplyDeleteKwek Yui Lam, 22, admitted to two counts of having sex with the girl last December.
One night, Kwek asked the victim if she wanted to play “3P”, slang for threesome having sex together.
Kwek had sex with his fiancee, followed by the victim, and then with the fiancee again.
After the incident, the fiancee told him not to have sex with the girl again as she regretted “sharing” him with someone else.
But Kwek had sex with the victim when they were alone at home on Dec 24.
Pak Lah's first corridor, Iskandar Development Region (IDR) aka Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandar (WPI), now renamed as Iskandar Malaysia, is a good example of "too-much-hot-air".
ReplyDeleteGo and ask locals in Johor Bahru what and how they have benefited over the past 4 years from this expensive branding con-job programme under Pak Lah's administration.
Go and ask the local businessman in Johor Bahru, what the super-authority called IRDA has introduced to improve business condition of the local SMEs.
The answer is simply nothing. Not even a smelly fart!
For 2010, the MoF allocated IRDA RM65 million to fund the operation. For a non-functioning organisation like IRDA, that is definitely a waste of taxpayers money.
IRDA's CEO is paid RM60k per month, the sleeping bastard COO is paid RM52k per month, and more than 20 senior managements of IRDA with a salary band of above RM30k per month, for doing simply NOTHING. Recently, IRDA paid out 5 months bonus to its staff for their hard work, ie hiring consultants, checking their emails, attending meetings (internal) and check emails, and ...nothing.
We, as taxpayers, strongly urged Najib's administration to quickly close down this pathetic IRDA. Those money should be utilise wisely.
Recently, under NEM, the Government has clearly expanded the role of MIDA from just manufacturing-based to even service industries.
So, what is the role of IRDA now? What can IRDA offer its shakeholders?
We are tired of all those empty promises of IRDA, the learning curve is too slow and expensive (hiring consultants). So please Najib, go down south and just scrap this hopeless IRDA.
I remember that Zaid kenna complained because he got 1 horse....Apparently, some people insinuated that Zaid used it for racing......
ReplyDeleteBut then, Mahathir got 30 horses....Hmm.....
By looking at Rocky Bru's face, no need to dwell into details, Abdullah Badawi must be "diMampuskan". I am not saying that Adbullah's crime is condornable but only Abdullah must be crucified...........
Again these few simple questions
1) Isn't Najib & the whole gang, part of Abdullah's administration? Isn't there one thing called collective responsibilities?
2) Is it really just Abdullah's fault? Abdullah used as black sheep
3) And what about Mahathir?
I am no stupid laa.....
ooohhh.... the cursed abdollah's face...

ReplyDeleteYou need more than a few lines to make people believe what you say - including bigotry and imbecility. We know Tun Dol begot you. But if you are KJ himself like some people say you are, you have not helped Tun Dol avoid the image he has, have you.
In fact KJ as head of the 4th Floor gang had greatly tarnished his PIL's reputation. You know what people think you and your PIL did. So try and justify what you and your PIL did or didn't do. We are willing to hear. But not just in a few lines and without hard facts c/w verifiable data, la.

ReplyDeletePokok pangkal ialah bukan apa sumbangan anwar tetapi apakah PERANAN masa depan anwar jika sekiranya dia berjaya menjadi PM.
Penyokong dan pembiaya anwar ingin hancurkan UMNO/BN supaya Melayu tidak lagi memimpin Malaysia.
Ketika anwar jadi PM, kerjanya mungkin tanda tangan surat2 sahaja. Pentadbiran negara akan dipegang oleh kaum bukan Melayu.
Sebab inilah, apa sahaja yang anwar lakukan adalah BETUL semuanya.
"Kontrak" nya pun belum tentu berjangka masa yang panjang. Apabila ia hilang pengaruh dikalangan orang Melayu, maka kontraknya pun akan ditamatkan.
Jadi yang paling penting adalah untuk rakyat khususnya kaum Melayu/Bumi sedar akan keadaan yang sebenar, lebih lebih lagi Melayu PAS dan PKR.

ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, Exxon Mobil and Shell have each invested US$3 billion in new petrochemical manufacturing complexes in Singapore. That's US$6 billion in FDI into Singapore for just 2 projects!
ReplyDeleteIf Petronas and MIDA are doing a great job, how come Exxon and Shell didn't make these investments in Malaysia?
Or how is it that Singapore, with no oil of it's own, has one of the biggest oil refining capacity in the world?
And how did it become the 3rd largest oil trading centre in the world?
Someone in Petronas asleep at the wheel?
Ditto for the government?
skilgannon1066,
ReplyDeleteThe bigger picture is too big for you to understand and digest.
You can just sleep over the issue why shell and exxon invested big in Singapore.
or read more on international affairs and politics before opening up your mouth.
skillgannon1066, its the natural location of Singapore Harbour lah at the confluence of the Straits of Malacca and half way mark towards the Far and Near East Japan, Hong Kong, Shanghai etc.
ReplyDeleteA person with half a brain would want to place oil refining facilities there and obviously clever people from Exxon, Mobil even BP have been investing in oil bunkering and refining facilities there for a longer time then you were probably born.
Singapore has been the traditional oil bunkering/oil refining centre for scores of years even before world war 1 and earlier then when Lee Kuan Yew was born in 1923. Its not because the PAP Government is great lah...the Brits gave Singapore's naturally deep harbour the necessary physical and economic infrastructure being its colonial center for the then Malaya. So be thankful to the Brits.

Pigida,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you 100%.
IRDA has not been functioning since day 1. The current CEO is too busy enjoying his new lifestyle with the high salary. He listened too much to his stupid secretary and ignoring what ought to be done. At the rate how pathetic things are going in IRDA, more people will leave, which is very good. So less taxpayers money will be spend to fund this non-functioning agency introduced by Pak Lah. Saw this article in NST about Iskandar Malaysia that clearly potrayed how bad things are down south.

Oh, wait - u wanna compare the rankings of Singapore's NUS and NTU against Malaysia's UM, UTM and USM?
And to get your facts straight - the Spore govt chose not to renew the water agreement expiring in 2011. It wasn't Malaysia that wanted to terminate it.
And by the time the 2nd water agreement runs out in 2061, Singapore will be 100 per cent self-sufficient as far as water is concerned. Simple fact of life, brudder - no half-past-six Malaysian politician can now threaten to cut off Singapore's water supply. As if they would dare to do so now...but that's another story.

Get your facts straight too - when did Shell build it's refinery in Pulau Bukom in Singapore? When did Exxon Mobil (then Esso) build it's refinery in Singapore? How much does oil refining and petrochemicals contribute as a percentage of GDP for Malaysia and Singapore respectively? In terms of sophistication, can the Petronas facilities in Malaysia compare with what Shell and Exxon Mobil have built in Singapore? And if Singapore is situated at a strategic crossroads, then isn't Malaysia similarly located?
Oh, yah - I forgot. When you run out of excuses, go blame the Brits for their colonial perfidy!
Sheesh!
