Nation-states and people are becoming more interconnected in all facets of life - cultural, economic, political, technological, and environmental. That is globalisation in which transnational corporations (@40,000) and not nations are the major players.
In trade for example, they send us Coke, KFC etc we send them rubber products - condoms and gloves. Malaysia produces 60% of the world's supply of gloves. It may sound simplistic but when we open-up too much and too dependent on foreign trade and investments will erode our sovereignty. Sudden asset outflows by transnational corporations due to political or other reasons can bring a nation to its knees.
However good are the theories of globalisation in the end the weak cannot withstand the onslaught of the whims and fancies of those who define it. Each nation and people must strategize do whatever possible to be not heavily dependent on foreign sources for growth.
Planning for long term sustainability of food security in rice and alternative sources of energy are paramount. Visit this website for biofuel sources and modes of sustainable living.

Iron ore: March 17 2011
By al-Din on March 21, 2011 10:01 PM
Perak goes berak. Teluk Rubiah, a cosy, tranquil cove not far from Setiawan has numerous delipidated 2 storey wooden bungalows and unkept golf course.
Millions had been spent on the project. What when wrong with the investment with no returns? What I guess is that it was meant to be an exclusive project for holiday niche for the rich. The flattened site for their holiday homes is now full of lalang.
Destined for its exclusiveness for the elites Tlk Rubiah was not promoted for public use and thus little income. On the other hand the elites would only go there at their whims and fancy.
The guard told me that such an idyllic place has been leased to a Brazillian company for an iron/steel mill. Even if his statement was wrong, Teluk Rubiah has been wronged!

Jihad itu begitu mudah. Sungguh menyeluruh. Manis. Berjihad tidak bersara. Berjihad adalah tuntutan Allah keatas manusia sebagai makhluknya.
Jihad bukan saja untuk diri sendiri atau keluarga bahkan untuk cekrawala alam - untuk bangsa, manusia baik muslim atau tidak, untuk yang bernyawa haiwan dan tumbuhan, semesta alam sekeliling air sungai-lautan, tanah gunung-ganang, udara bersih-nyaman , api suria-tenaga.
Hidup Tun penuh dengan jihad. Menjual di Pekan Rabu adalah jihad. Belajar menimba ilmu menjadi doktor adalah jihad. Berkeluarga dan mendidik anak2 adalah jihad. Bertugas di Langakawi adalah jihad.
Berpolitik dan menjadi PM selama 22 tahun adalah jihad yang tidak ada tolok bandingnya. Membuang pengkhianat2 negara adalah jihad. Menulis buku adalah jihad. Melawat dan memberi nasihat kapada negara2 Islam adalah jihad. Blog to unblock dan kungsi pengalaman-ilmu adalah jihad!
Tak dapat saya senaraikan jihad Tun. Hanya Allah yang lebih mengetahui. Teruskan berjihad Tun! Moga Allah panjangkan umur dan berkat kesihatan sekeluarga.

In these days banners of all sorts and sizes can be machine-produced at relatively low costs and hence explains its popularity and insatiaty.
Definitely there is an urgent need to regulate adverts nationwide. Indeed, it is getting out of hand and becoming an eyesore and sometimes a manace in many instances. There should be no more experimenting be it the government, politicians or the Ah Longs!

Mumbai bridge: Jan 4 2011
By al-Din on January 5, 2011 12:10 AM
For some years now our chips are just not at the bargaining table. Our chips are down. As a result we lost the (Brunei) oil fields, Pulau Batu Putih, KTM land and the just being-constructed scenic bridge.
Tenang is not tenang. The ghost of altanthuya is still hovering around. People with bad records are placed in top positions - Risda, Felda, SPAD. Pro-Mahasiswa of Unisel is voicing the right thing. Let professionals run technical organisations. For example, the former VC of UPM could bring Felda to greater heights.
Years ago to cross the small river near my kampong house was by means of a timber-log bridge. The common belief especially told to children then was that a new bridge requires a sacrifice, a head. The headhunting is supposedly done by 'keling sabit potong kepala' who carries a gunnysack.
Perhaps, the scenic bridge can only be successfully built after the sacrificial top head rolls.

Najib wants the super storey building based mainly on (projected) economic returns and somewhat add image to his lacklusture premiership.
Taking PNB's word that the mega project is going to make money (much later) but is it a high ranking investment now with due consideration of the oversupply of rental shop and office space? If at all why a superstructure?
Understandably PNB is under the directive. All of them agreed. Ikut telunjuk, jaga periok nasi.
Why the over-concentration of supertsructures in KL? Is it that's all Malaysia? There is a moral issue here. Don't the ordinary people in the non-urban areas require improved infrastructures? The returns may not be economically tangible but people will enjoy a healthier and better quality of life.
Perlu diingat itu bukan duit PNB tetapi modal dari jutaan amanah pelabur dan ramai dari kampong. Duit desa untuk kemewahan orang bandar! Saksamakah?
Go and immerse yourself in Sarawak, Sabah and the Orang Asli dwellings you will cry for your egocentric, money-crazed misjudgement.
Who would be the potential occupiers of the 100 1Tower?
PNB - 6 floors
CIMB - 5 floors
Sime Darby - 4 floors
Felda - 3 floors
Permata Malaysia - 1 floor
MAS - 2 floors
YTL - 1 floor

Menakjubkan. Syabas Proton. Nak booking Saga Elektrik!
Sementara ini saya menggunakan basikal elektrik kemasjid atau kedai berdekatan. Seminggu sekali charge. BE import dari Cina dan dulu harganya RM1700 dikedai. Semenjak berBE 3 tahun disini ia bertambah popular dengan berbagai jenama dan bentuk digunakan di kawasan Tronoh-Batu Gajah. Jalan agak rata dan kenderaan tidak sibuk memudahkan penggunaan BE. Sesuai untuk yang mengah atau lemah - tidak perlu berkayuh! Tidak bising dan bersih untuk alam.
Dengan mileage/gelen berlipat ganda teringin pula kerajaan menaikan harga minyak berlipat ganda!

melbourne experience: hospital in the home
By al-Din on October 12, 2010 10:55 PM
Sixty years ago the people of the Federation of Malaya was served by 57 hospitals. If there was ambulance service at all it would be meagre. Taking the effective radius of each hospital to be 12 miles meaning that the rural populations were not or hardly getting health service. There was preponderance of Chinese and Indians admissions then but the Malays had a natural reluctance even to get hospital treatment.
Nowadays with the superb transportation and communication systems, the numerous hospitals and ambulance services can serve wider areas and more people. Even then there is a neglected segment of the population, pockets of Orang Asli who are less mobile in the off-road jungles not getting the barest health care services whatmore ambulance privelege.
Luckily for Dolah, my OA friend has a motorbike and was able to send his sick wife to hospital. When the wife was critically ill the ambulance sent her from CHighlands to Ipoh GH. Dolah accompanied her but had to spent nights along the ward corridors. Somebody conned his watch one night. His wife died and was buried in an isolated belukar graveyard by a stream. So much for our Muslim original people!
Postcript: Dolah's hut-house got burned down some months ago. He had requested for aid from JHEOA but to no avail. I too had reported the matter.

Islam, kuda tunggangan.
Berkaitan dengan posting Tun sebelumnya ia-itu:
"10. Sama juga dengan parti politik yang meraih sokongan menggunakan agama Islam. Di Malaysia, orang Melayu kesemuanya beragama Islam. Terdapat juga sebilangan besar kaum India Muslim di Malaysia tetapi mereka ini tidak berperanan dalam parti politik yang dikatakan parti Islam ini. Dengan mengguna Islam, parti ini sedar yang ianya hanya untuk menarik secara eksklusif sokongan orang Melayu. Niat mereka hanya untuk meraih sokongan orang Melayu dan bukan untuk mempertahan kedudukan orang Melayu. Mereka ini boleh dikatakan bukan bersifat perkauman pro-Melayu. Tetapi mereka mengambil kesempatan politik ke atas orang Melayu."
Ada pemimpin politik bukan hanya sanggup menggunakan nama Islam tetapi menghina Islam. Katanya dia berlaku sebegitu kerana Allah pun ada mencarut, gangster dsb. Penyokong2nya berdiam diri seolah bersetuju kenyataan dibuat adalah mainan untuk melawan parti politik musuh. Bila bekerjasama dengan DAP dan PKR idealisma Islam terbenam. Tidak dengar langsung berkenaan hudud. Masih lagi penyokong2 berdiam diri.
Bayangan apa akan terjadi apabila bukan Islam memerintah sudah berlaku di P. Pinang dan Selangor. Mereka masuk masjid. Mereka menggunakan Islam atau simbol Islam sebagai kuda tunggangan untuk meraih sokongan dan undi PRU13.
Pernah maharaja Mongol, Genghis Khan (~1170-1227) selepas membakar Bukhara, Samarkand memberi ucapan 'Punishment of God' dimimbar masjid, walaupun ia bukan Islam:
"O people, know that you have committed great sins and that the great ones among you have committed these sins! If you ask me what proof I have for these words, I say it is because I am the punishment of God. If you have not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you."
Dengan kehendak Allah, keturunan beliau yang memerintah Moghul Empire, India menganuti Islam.
Politikus kafir yang memberi ucapan dikawasan masjid tentulah berkenaan politik bukan hal agama. Ada yang menyangka yang mereka mula berjinak dengan Islam. Sebenarnya mereka adalah opportunist menggunakan Islam atau simbol Islam sebagai kuda tunggangan. Penyokong2 muslimin masih berdiam diri kerana hal itu disifatkan sebagai sandiwara politik.

Nazir, the highest paid CEO is anachronistically ambitious, a megalomaniac. Why and who on earth put Golden Hope and Guthrie under SD? Now SD has a super-megalomaniac as the chairman. PNB will have to revise its ASB dividends for the billions of losses.
Now, Nazir wants to up his meritocracy at Oxford in Islamic Banking. He can afford to do that since childhood to be English educated. In some months time he can speak louder on meritocracy, bastardization the 'Father of NEP' that has placed him (and Malays) in good steed.
Apparently, his sibling also has a problem how to handle meritocracy especially for the Malays. The son of the 'Father of NEP' thinks that everybody have reached to their level of wealth and knowledge - talking about high income, (un)mastery of English, own-race disinclination etc. Are they both racist or non-racist?

Utusan Melayu (19 Jun) menyebut VC beberapa universiti menyambut baik teguran Muhyiddin berkenaan isu moral. Tanggungjawab VC memang besar sebagai pemimpin institusi yang mengeluarkan para intelektual. Saban hari perlu membuat keputusan tepat menghala kemajuan.
Walaupun begitu ada diantara VC bercakap tak serupa bikin. Masihkah ia menyimpan professor dato' yang pernah ditangkap basah (tersiar dalam surat khabar) sebagai dekan kampus cawangan? Apakah tauladan yang hendak ditonjolkan kapada masyarakat? Ia mahir berselindung disebalik pangkat, politik dan tenggeknya.
Penuntut dari Italy yang menjadi mangsa raba dato' itu terpaksa balik negeri awal. Malu.
Sebagai VC sepatutnya lebih arif atas tindakan yang sesuai dikenakan kapada pesalah-laku terutamanya yang memimpin tidak kira samaada dari satu kampong. Rakyat membayar cukai. Ibu-bapa mengaharapkan anak dididik mengikut tauladan yang baik.
Walk the talk VC.

Reading between the lines ...
Tun's no. 1 and no. 6 (last) statements are repetitious on purpose (I guess) as if to seek confirmation of the truthfulness, an element of doubt perhaps. Each statement is not only longish but disjointed having two opposing or yes-and-no sub-statements.
Moreover, each need to be read in one breath (go)and at least a couple of times in order to ascertain what it's trying to say. There is a subtle message in the blurry blurbs. That is how I interpret it.
Well, Tun knows better with nuances of languages both written and oral.
Whatever it is, there is a case of flip-flop here of which the newspaper reports seem to bear more of the brunt. PM don't lie (!). But, could there be misreporting on such an important and sensitive international and national issue?
The collateral damage is yet to be seen very soon in the P94 by-election.

Brother Matthias Chang is a true champion for the Palestinians. In the recent Palestinian Viva convoy he and many others spent weeks of hardship in Rafah in the Egyptian border to bring medicine and food supplies to Gaza. Risking his life, spending time, energy and money were nothing for the cause of justice and survival of the Palestinians.
Here we eat, sleep, enjoy and talk. Worst some blokes call him names and said he deserve it. Ask yourself what have you done or what he has done to you.
I don't know what transpired during the court case. Considering what Brother Matthias has done for the country during Tun's time and with the Palestinian cause the judge in fact must give due respect to him and afford some leeway. If at all why slam him such maximum or heavy penalty?
Long Live Brother Matthias Chang. The Palestinians and brother Muslims will pray for your wellbeing. Allah-hu-Akbar.

Is there such a thing as ego-meter for everyone of us. I believe there is. It is but a subjective one. It varies from individual to individual depending on age, upbringing, genetics, education, exposure, circumstances and other variables. The ego-meter reading will fluctuate within certain range over the years. Even for an individual it may vary within the day depending on health condition, temperament, events in the past hour or days.
A good and level-headed judge must already set his or her ego-meter reading to a stable and professional level so that the myriad of influencing factors do not cloud in passing a fair judgement in any case. A judge is trained to do that within the law and norms and yet in a humanistic way.
Again being human, we are subject to tendencies. One has to live with conscience.

sand for singapore, jan 18 2010
By al-Din on January 18, 2010 7:04 PM
The Works Minister must be working from the house (as per his draughtsmen/women are allowed!) during office hours as such that he is oblivious of daily happenings in order that decisions made are not detrimental to the country.
For a few RM more we sell sand so that the Sings can expand their coast line to narrow the Straits to Johore besides the billions of microchips can be manufactured as what the silica sand are purported for. How gullible we can be! Is Malaysia that bankrupt?
The PM is desperate for votes. Hence, he is busy with daily nitty-gritty things to show he cares which is best left to the appropriate ministries. What has he done or undone here and in Saudi Arabia to be so awarded! To show that we belong to the same club of Master Brinkmanship?
He better focus on bigger things that matters as PM in terms of security and other aspects of high national interest. Anyway, during his many abscences, Nazri take to centre stage! Used to be anak rajas roaming around in the old days.
The Works Minister must be working from the house (as per his draughtsmen/women are allowed!) during office hours as such that he is oblivious of daily happenings in order that decisions made are not detrimental to the country.
For a few RM more we sell sand so that the Sings can expand their coast line to narrow the Straits to Johore besides the billions of microchips can be manufactured as what the silica sand are purported for. How gullible we can be! Is Malaysia that bankrupt?

Che Det on Malaysian Industries - comment 2
By al-Din on October 8, 2009 4:07 PM
After "Buy British Last" and Look East" policies Dr Mahathir instituted "Malaysia Boleh" and "By 2020" to help further propel our industries. We realise the wisdom in Tun's step by step approach and timing of such strategies.
These days, the crafty big Napoleons are trying to dismantle the mechanisations already in the grind. Rhetorics is the name of the game. Everyday they make pronouncements - so much billions we have and so much billions of money coming in.
After failing to convince the majority of people here with 1Malaysia, Najib is going to convince the world with his 1World idea. This is a ploy to divert our attention and to curry favours with the West. The West named him Najibnomics. He has yet to get out from the shadows of his father!
The West is fond of naming names to meet their agenda - Mr Clean, Renaissance Man, Mahathirism.
Malaysia is harking the darkness.
Dalam keadaan Sang Matahari sentiasa merah marah dan bulan kegelitaan dengarlah Tak Naik (dengan izin Penyu Menangis, Utusan Melayu, 30 Julai 1986):
TAK NAIK
Malam ini
pokok hari gobor
suara guruh bertagur
di kaki langit timur
kilat gajah menyambar
awan mendung menutup jari
bulan mengambang tak jadi
bulan tak terbit
bulan tak naik
bulan jatuh di langit merah
bulan tenggelam di laut hitam.
