𝐊𝐄𝐍𝐘𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐀𝐍 𝐒𝐄𝐉𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐇 1. Johor adalah negeri yang pertama menandatangani Perjanjian MacMichael menyerah Johor kepada British dan hanya masalah pentadbiran agama Islam dan adat istiadat Melayu sahaja yang dikuasai oleh Raja. 2. Perjanjian itu dapat dibatalkan apabila…

𝗖𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗣 𝗧𝗔𝗞 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗨𝗣𝗔 𝗕𝗜𝗞𝗜𝗡 1.  Saya tidak curi duit, tetapi ada orang yang tuduh saya curi berbillion ringgit duit Kerajaan. 2. Yang menuduh sehingga sekarang tidak dapat bukti saya curi duit. 3. Saya bagi masa untuk tunjuk bukti 4. Diminta dua minggu untuk…

𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗫𝗘𝗦 1. Weekends I drive around Kuala Lumpur. 2. Sometime I drop in the shopping complexes. 3. KL’s shopping complexes are great. 4. The new ones are fantastic. 5. They are bigger and better than the shopping complexes in London or Tokyo. 6. The other day I dropped in one of the new ones. 7. Wow. It is great. 8. But suddenly I felt I was in China. 9. Then I realised why. 10. All the signboards are in Chinese with English translations. 11. Nothing in Malay. Not at all. 12. So is this Malaysia. 13. Or have we become a part of China. 14. English I can understand why. 15. Even in Japan signboards have English translations. 16. But big Chinese characters. 17. I was told that some Chinese TV refer to Malaysia as Little China. 18. Why? 19. Because among the Southeast Asian countries Malaysia displays the Chinese characters all over; large and prominent. 20. Must be because we have so many Chinese visitors. 21. But translation in small characters yes. 22. But our national language is Malay. DR. MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD 18 November 2024

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗔𝗜𝗠 𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗥𝗬 1. Daim passed away. 2. I lost a friend. 3. Now people are talking and writing about Daim’s contribution to the country. 4. It is sad. He had to die first. Even those he tutored on finance appreciated him not. Die first. 5. He was already rich in 1981, when I became Prime Minister. 6. He lost money making salt. 7. He made money developing Maluri on 160 acres of land. 8. To become minister, you have to stop business. 9. When you stop business you no longer make money. 10. As Prime Minister in 1981, I was paid RM8000/- p.m. 11. As minister the pay was less. So Daim as Minister of Finance from 1984 to 1991 must have lost a lot of money. 12. Yet the belief is that he made money as minister. 13. Before being minister he was trying to realise the NEP. 14. To catch up with the rich Malaysians you cannot start by selling tom yam or pisang goreng on the road side. 15. Daim wanted Malays to start from the top. 16. He picked on a number of young Malays. 17. These people had no business experience, no capital, no management skill. 18. To start at the top he gave Government projects, contracts, licences etc. 19. Is this abuse of power? 20. If not Government, who? 21. The private sector!! Will the private rich give contracts to inexperienced, unknown people. 22. No way! 23. So if the Government did not there would be no Malay big businesses to catch up with those who were already rich. 24. To grow from selling tom yam and pisang goreng to become millionaires and catch up will take years. 25. The NEP would not be achieved. In fact the disparities would become greater. 26. But why those people which Daim chose. Why not other people? Pick other people, same accusation. 27. Would he then be lauded? No. 28. But many of those he picked, trained and gave opportunities failed. 29. We don’t hear about them. They were not labelled as cronies. 30. So, if you want to avoid being accused of abuse of power, make all that you pick fail. 31. And when they fail, the NEP would fail, the disparities would increase. 32. Actually this was what Daim’s detractors wanted to see. 33. They love to see the rich become richer and the poor poorer. 34. Yes, the NEP was not a great success. 35. But at least a few Malays did succeed. 36. Otherwise, with non at all, the lop-sided growth would be even more lopsided. 37. Malaysia would not be stable. Would not be what it is today. 38. Yes, Daim’s idea did not work as he expected. 39. But think. 40. What if Daim concentrated only on enriching himself. 41. He would be worth RM50 billion today. But of course, he would be hounded by the same people, the people he helped. DR. MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD 20 November 2024
