PM: Malays must look beyond protectionism

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak urged Malay entrepreneurs to rely on their own ability in order to be have dignity and be respected.

“Don't just talk about rights. What is more important is what are we doing to do to increase our wealth” Najib said when officially opening the newly-formed United Malay Economic Action Council (MTEM) in Serdang last night.

This is the second time in three days that the premier had spoken on the need to move away from preferential treatment for the Malay business class.

On Monday, the Najib told the Khazanah Megatrends Forum that bumiputera quotas will be done away with in the future in order to increase competition.

“We never took from other people. We created new projects in order for the people to feel that we did not take away the rights of others, so that there is fair distribution,” he said.

“We must change because our environment has changed. If (you) depend on (government) protection, it cannot guarantee our future,” he said.

Comment:

Najib is courting trouble with Perkasa & hardcore UMNO businessmen who had depended on the government for handouts. These people will not like the message as their survival and fortune is at stake.

USM Convo 2011

My sweetheart finally got to wear the mortar headgear and the robes that signifies she had finally graduated.

Today I had to be at National Science University (USM) to witness her graduation. She is the youngest in the family and the whole family is so proud of her. Of course, she is dad's sweetheart.

The future scientist

A lovely kiss for dad!

I failed to attend my two sons' convo. That was the last few years. Back then, I was struggling to earn enough to meet the family's need. It was tough then. Back then, I had to travel to various states to conduct seminars, workshops and classes all over the country and overseas. I also had to perform corporate duties as advisers and consultants. No excuse; and I admit I am sorry to my sons. If there is any way I can make up to them, I would readily do so. In fact I was scheduled to travel overseas last Friday and will be forced to miss this convo event. Thank God the trip was postponed and I finally made it to the hall to watch my daughter walk up there to receive her scroll.

I'm back to KL now and the hours of journey has drained away my energy. Good nite.

Ban on BERSIH extends to Dewan Bahasa
By Kuldip Gangaram
Monyet News Network, 19 July 2011

Kuala Lumpur, 19 July. Dewan Bahasa dan Perkasa (DBP) today confirmed that the word ”BERSIH” will be banned and taken out from the Malay lexicology. The chairman of DBP, Tan Sri Faizal Suresh Abdullah announced the decision at a press conference held at DBP’s main campus at Jinjang, north of the city.

“We are only following the Government directive. They said BERSIH is illegal, so we also follow lah. We are part of the same government, you know. From today onwards, nobody can use the word bersih. Anyone caught doing otherwise can be fined RM 5,000 or jailed for two years or both”, stressed Tan Sri Faizal.

When quizzed by newsmen what alternative words the public could use instead of bersih, Tan Sri Faizal added “we are not stupid. We have already thought about the inconvenience this ban might cause to the public. So, we had a lab, chaired by none other than Datuk Idris Jala, which studied the problem closely. And we came up with a brilliant alternative”.

To a question by MNN correspondent, Lattalilat Thamplom, Tan Sri Faizal said “since this problem was started by that freakin Indian woman, Ambiga, we have decided to replace the word bersih with ambiga. Very clever isn’t it”.

According to DBP "since this Indian woman started the problem, we are going to substitute bersih with her name. Clever isn't it ?"

DBP has released guidelines for this change of terminology that advises the public the right way of replacing bersih with ambiga. Extracts from the guidelines are appended below :

Contoh ayat menggunakan perkataan ambiga

Contoh 1
Cara lama
Murid-murid perlu menjaga kebersihan bilik darjah masing-masing
Cara baru
Murid-murid perlu menjaga keambigaan bilik darjah masing-masing


Contoh 2
Cara lama
Pantai itu sungguh bersih
Cara baru
Pantai itu sungguh ambiga

Contoh 3
Cara lama
Kamar itu dibersihkan oleh orang gaji saya
Cara baru
Kamar itu diambigakan oleh orang gaji saya

Contoh 4
Cara lama
Cuci bersih
Cara baru
Cuci ambiga


MNN has been reliably informed that many Local councils are now considering using the AMBIGA rating system for assessing cleanliness of restaurants. Instead of the conventional A, B and C or star ratings, restaurants may be rated 1Ambiga, 2Ambiga or 3Ambiga.

TODAY'S PARADOX

Why are wives more dangerous than the Mafia?
The mafia wants either your money or life...
The wives want both!

-------------------------

Marriage is like a public toilet:
- Those waiting outside are desperate to get in; &
- Those inside are desperate to come out.

---------------------------------

It takes thousand workers to build a castle,
million soldiers to protect a country,
but just one woman to make a Happy Home
--------- A Good Maid!

All girls are devils,
but my wife is the queen -- of them!

------------------------------------

HAVE A NICE DAY!
