UGUTAN
 
1. Saya dapati ramai orang kenamaan Melayu berada dalam ketakutan.

2. Mereka tidak senang dengan prestasi Kerajaan sekarang. Banyaklah sebab-sebab yang mereka berpendapat Kerajaan sekarang tidak baik. Mereka menyatakan ini apabila ditemui. 3. Tetapi mereka enggan menyertai sebarang gerakan yang memiliki pendapat yang sama dengan mereka.

4. Sebabnya kerana mereka takut jika mereka dikenal pasti oleh Kerajaan tindakan akan diambil terhadap mereka.

A SHOPPING COMPLEX

1. I visited one of the newest shopping complexes in Kuala Lumpur.

2. I was impressed.

3. It is not a shopping complex. 4. It is a town, a fully air-conditioned town protected from the sun and rain.

5. There are streets lined with brand named shops, with products displayed beautifully.

6. There are restaurants and supermarkets.

During my stay in London, I met many Malaysians who are either studying, working or living here. I explained to them the problem faced in Malaysia, where the Malays have now lost not only their economic performance but also they have lost their political power. They are now a… https://t.co/jhsfp13PPxtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…


Of course, some of them felt that it is not fair to discriminate against non-Malays. They believe that if the Malays are not given these crutches, they would then be able to fight for themselves. I have my doubts they can do that. Not now anyway. Maybe in the future, when they… https://t.co/UEfT4la7q4twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

TANAH MELAYU
 
1. Jika kita teliti sejarah orang Melayu, kita terpaksa akui bahawa sepanjang zaman tanah air orang Melayu merosot kawasannya. 2. Demikian apabila British mengada perjanjian dengan Siam di Bangkok pada tahun 1909, empat buah negeri Melayu, iaitu Patani, Singgora, Menara dan Yala di selatan Siam, diserah kepada Siam.

PULAU PINANG
 
1. I do not want to be involved in the controversy over Penang. But suggesting that Sanusi, the MB of Kedah is committing a crime for giving his views of the history of that island is too much. 2. Historically the Sultan of Kedah agreed for the British East India Company to take over the island on payment of 6000 Spanish dollars a year. Later a strip of the mainland opposite was added for 4000 Spanish dollars a year.

I would like to thank Mr. Shin Nakayama, the Editor-in-Chief of Nikkei Asia and Nikkei Inc., for hosting me yet again at a dialogue session in conjunction with the Nikkei Forum for Asia. Image I have always enjoyed attending this forum and participating in the dialogue session, which is termed, Firechat.

This prestigious event has been close to my heart since its inception in 1995, and it truly marked a remarkable end to my visit to Tokyo, Japan. Image

SAYA TAKUT
 
1. Apa sudah jadi.

2. Saya takut.

3. Kerana di tanah air saya, di Malaysia, di Tanah Melayu saya tidak boleh bercakap berkenaan masalah orang Melayu. 4. Tidak boleh berjumpa pun. Tidak ada tempat. Semua tolak. Empat kali kena tolak “atas arahan pihak atasan”.

TUDUHAN ANWAR

1. Dalam usaha untuk menghalang perhimpunan Melayu yang menjemput saya hadir, Anwar telah berkata, “ada orang dulu, 22 tahun campur 22 bulan pegang kuasa, sekarang mengeluh Melayu hilang segala-galanya, hilang harta, hilang saham”. Tambahnya, “Bagaimana tak hilang kalau kamu bolot untuk kamu. Untuk keluarga kamu dan anak-anak kamu. Sekarang bila hilang kuasa, bicara soal rakyat.”

LALANG (Versi Bahasa Melayu)
1. Ops Lalang berlaku ketika saya sebagai Perdana Menteri. Ia bukan atas arahan saya.

2. Tun Hanif telah jelaskan ianya keputusan yang dibuat polis. (Tonton di sini: ) 3. Perdana Menteri perlu dengar pandangan polis. Mereka bertanggungjawab atas keselamatan negara. Pandangan dan nasihat mereka tidak boleh ditolak begitu saja.

LALANG

1. Ops Lalang happened when I was Prime Minister. I did not order it.

2. Tun Hanif has already clarified that it was the decision made by the police. (Watch here: shorturl.at/wBNU8) 3. A Prime Minister has to listen to the police. They are responsible for the security of the nation. Their opinions and advice cannot be simply brushed aside.

RACISM

1. Anwar’s Government has ruled that the people must not talk about race and religion. 2. Obviously this rule is directed at the Malays. This rule is in fact racist because it denies the rights of the Malays. Talking about multiracialism and multireligion is okay. It is okay because it is in favour of the other races. This is also racist.

I had the chance to speak at the Global Education Forum in Tokyo about the important things that the younger generation should focus on. There were three big issues that I highlighted during my talk. Firstly, climate change is a big deal. We need to take it seriously and figure out how to handle the worst-case scenarios. Even though some countries haven't felt the effects of climate change yet, we can't just ignore it.

RAMASAMY (Versi Bahasa Melayu)

1. Ramasamy tersinggung kerana saya masih bezakan keturunan pendatang dari China dan India sebagai “orang asing”. 2. Bukan saya tetapi mereka sendiri yang pilih untuk di kenal sebagai pendatang asing. Mereka yang ingin dikenal sebagai Cina Malaysia atau India Malaysia. Orang Melayu memangpun dikenali sebagai orang Malaysia.

RAMASAMY
 
1.    Ramasamy is annoyed that I still distinguish the descendants of migrants from China and India as “orang asing” or people of foreign origins. 2.    It is not me but they themselves who wish to identify themselves as of foreign origin. It is they who identify themselves as Malaysian Chinese or Malaysian Indians. Malays identify themselves with this country Malaysian.

MH370 ANNIVERSARY, MARCH 8

Today is the anniversary of the loss of #MH370 and since then we have not discovered any evidence as to what happened to the plane. There may be talk about the plane crashing to the sea. But we have no real evidence to show that they crash into the sea. We also don’t have any evidence that they landed anywhere or crash on land. So, this is very disturbing for the relatives because knowing something happened to them is a relief.

5. The two World Wars started in Europe.

6. When the Chinese invented explosives they use it to frighten imaginary dragons.

WORLD WAR III

1. I hesitate to write this article. I may be accused of apologising for the Russians. I am not. I think the present war between Ukraine and Russia is caused by the Europeans’ love of War, of hegemony, of dominance. 2. Russia was the partner of the Western Europeans (including U.S. and Canada) in the war against Germany. The moment Germany was defeated, the west declared that Russia, their partner was their new enemy.

HILANG DEPOSIT

1. Saya dapati sejak selepas pilihanraya, setiap kali saya menegur atau menyatakan kerisauan berkait perkembangan semasa, saya disuruh berehat dan diam kerana kalah di dalam pilihanraya dan hilang deposit. 2. Saya agak hairan kenapa begitu beria-ia mahu saya tidak bersuara. Dulu dikata saya nyanyuk. Sekarang disuruh diam kerana hilang deposit.

THE 15th GENERAL ELECTION

1.The 15th General Election was the most corrupt of all the elections held in independent Malaysia. Every single candidate who won, was because of bribes given to the voters. 2.The bribes were given openly. Many received the bribes just before going in to vote. There were lots of people who saw the money being handed over.

THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER

1. I was browsing through the Federal Constitution when suddenly I found the incongruity of the provision under Article 33A. 2. It reads as follows: "Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall cease to exercise the functions of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong if charged with an offence".

5. Segala perancangan Pejuang untuk negara terpaksalah digugur.

6. Yang boleh dilakukan oleh Pejuang ialah melihat arah pemerintahan pihak yang menang
