Relevant pictures of some of Taib Mahmud's alleged "ill-gotten" properties..

Just the tip of a "Bigger than you can imagine" iceberg!
 

Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA: WHAT'S NEW? IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE...greed & easy wealth is a Malaysian lifesyle. 30 years of theft but nothing is done. It only points to one very obvious consequence..WE are all DOOMED! Malaysia Boleh!

My class mate from my high school days forwarded this article. He copied to the whole Malaysian opposition party leaders as well as to Berita Harian, Readers Digest and others. With internet today, you can run but cannot hide. Even if you manage to, where can one hide from God. I wonder if he sleeps well every night with the knowledge that the poorest of poor is from his state where he ripped off the natural wealth of the state for his personal gain.  

I'm so proud to be a Malaysian......just look at this....TAIB has made us proud....

Squandered the Country's wealth..-Stole Money from the Rakyat...and made it real big overseas.

Must be one Hell of Businessman....Please pass it on to many Sarawakians, Sabahans and friends from your contact list.

They sure gonna be proud of this Son of Malaysia....

Frustrated PBS yet again cries foul over power sharing and illegal immigrants

By Ezra Haganez Penampang, SABAH: Eight years after rejoining Barisan Nasional (BN) in 2002, today Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) at its 25th annual general meeting here yet registered its dissatisfaction on two things in BN : Unfair power-sharing, and the presence of illegal immigrants in the state. PBS passed the two resolutions calling on the BN state leadership to come up with a fairer power-sharing formula, and to quickly resolve the perennial problems of a large presence of illegal immigrants by 2012. This two isues had been a must topic at PBS previous AGMs, either as motion/resolution or points of discussion while debating other motions. Today, PBS Vice Presidents, Datuk Herbert Timbon Lagadan, and Datuk Radin Malleh, read the respective motions, prepared by the party's supreme council. They were not a motion from the floor, rather from the supreme council, as explaind by Lagadan. This, give credence to talks that PBS is far from satisfied with how Sabah is run by the UMNO-led BN coalition in the state.

Another Eye-Opening Article By A Young Malaysian

JULY 25 — I was not planning to write about Malay unity this week, but after a little talk I just had with my father, I've decided it's imperative to underscore yet again the very real effect so-called 'Malay unity' has on Malaysian society. Malay unity as it is presently understood is fundamentally undemocratic, and fundamentally a threat to Malaysian unity. The notion that it is not just okay but morally right to prefer one Malaysian over another because of his or her racial identity undermines everything that the concept of a Malaysian stands for; it justifies racism, communalism and separatism. In the first place, I cannot see why anyone would believe that the Malay community or Malays as individuals stand to gain from uniting behind one political party or one ideology. Malays are not a single-minded, homogeneous lot, any more than the Chinese or Indians are. To ask a Malay to subjugate his own individual beliefs to the tyranny of the Malay majority is ridiculous, and completely undermines the democratic right of individual Malaysians, Malay or not, to freedom of thought and expression.

Of Zaid, Anwar and Politics...

COMMENTS : It's not necessary that we must win when we stand for elections. It's a bit like Air Asia offering zero airfare or America buying even more from China while complaining about the yuan.

If u want to win, u must take a certain stand. Zaid did not do that because it's not a win that was important to him. It's petty to think in terms of winning all the time. U can even win by losing.

Those who are wrapped up in their own personal success will not bother about the larger concerns of the people and make poor leaders as they will not be able to inspire others.

Zaid needed the platform to highlight certain issues. I think that he has done that very brilliantly although initially many people thought that he was talking nonsense. Having done so, he pulled out from the race at the right moment to drive home the points that he has been making. Zaid is right. PKR should look beyond Anwar.

Was Merdeka taken or was it given?

The British wanted to deal only with the Alliance Party because most of its leaders were educated in England and had demonstrated not only pro-British tendencies but were also more English than the Englishman in their ways, lifestyle and mentality.

THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
History is always written by the victors, not by the vanquished. That is a very old line, which most already know by now. History is also an interpretation of facts. Of course, one can never change facts because facts are facts. But how you interpret them will depend on many things, your biasness and prejudices included.

Sometimes we are made the victim of propaganda and ‘perception management’. This is not a new phenomenon. The British, in fact, have been using this art from way back, including the art of divide and rule -- which has proven very effective, especially when they needed 10,000 Englishmen to lord over millions of ‘natives.’ How else can 10,000 control 10 million if not through divide and rule?

The propaganda or perception is that Umno ‘fought’ for independence or Merdeka. This is what the new breed of Malaysian history books tells us.

From way back I have always said that this is not true. Umno never ‘fought’ for Merdeka. Umno never ‘took’ Merdeka. Merdeka was handed to Umno on a silver platter because the British could no longer afford the financial cost and loss of lives and assets in their war (called The Emergency) against the Communist Terrorists (CTs) of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM).
