HiH CiC - The Way Forward

HiH CiC - Honour, Integrity, Honesty, Competency & incorruptible Civil Services & Political Masters - The only way forward to ensure a successful and prosperous nation!

Singapore has become successful and earned the respect of the world community today because it has been governed by able leaders who have high integrity and are not corrupted, Lee Kuan Yew said.

When Singapore became independent, the country did not have any wealth or natural resources and, in addition, was facing many threats such as from the communist terrorists and workers' union.

But with a first-class team of able and practical leaders who had strong will and belief in the country, Singapore managed to get out from the bad situation.

Singapore had progressed well until today because it had been managed by dedicated leaders who had a high sense of honour and level of integrity, honesty and competency and were not corrupted.

Lee said the country made the right decision by investing in defence and education by allocating the biggest budgets for the two sectors.

He said the government also made the right move when it introduced English in the education system and put the mother tongue languages of the Chinese, Malays and Indians on equal footing.

Lee said the English language had not only become the world's most spoken language but was also the language of the Internet world, and this had benefited Singaporeans the most.

The former prime minister also said that the present leadership should now look for new leaders to replace them when they retired in less than a decade from now.

He said that if they failed to recruit new leaders, the country would be taken over by the opposition parties who would have their own capable leaders.

Yesterday we hear of a police officer making a report that the police station practice inequality and discrimination because there was unequal distribution of bribes. We are also told that policeman will asked for blowjobs and screw-job from those who are under their control even for inchoate offence.

Today we read about the Director-General of Immigration and six others including senior officers been arrested by the Anti-Corruption Agency for alleged graft.

“We are investigating them for alleged involvement in the issuance of work permits to foreign workers,” ACA director of investigations Datuk Shukri Abdul said.

Before all these news, we also read of Balasubramaniam's dual SD and RPK's SD and Anwar-Saiful's SDme.

We are also told that Biro Tatanegara (BTN) under the Prime Minister's Department and fully funded by taxpayers' money which organizes student development programmes of which we are told that the programmes are facilitated to spread propagandas to enhance racial divide and hatred. The students at UiTM are indoctrinated with these knowledge: that Bangsa Malaysia does not exist, neither does Malaysian Chinese and Indians; in the strict sense we are classified as Malaysian Malay, and all others are only Chinese and Indians; that the University and Colleges Act was partly made to ensure a Malay Vice-Chancellor in Universities which should be the way;etc (Read it yourself here)

Now we also read in the news that Ezam had warned Anwar that he would reveal his dark secrets if Anwar linked him to a political conspiracy over the sodomy report - "I will divulge your secrets,” Ezam declared. "I will in 24 hours swear as a Muslim that I will fight him," Ezam said at a talk organised by the Shah Alam Umno. (source: Malaysiakini)

We have people who claimed to be Muslims and swear in the name of Allah that he will hide the "dark secrets" on the condition that he is not linked to the sodomy conspiracy. He was prepared to hide truth of " dark secrets" so long as his integrity was kept clean; does it mean that he also had something that cannot be told that could affect his integrity?

Where is the country heading? Fear not and evils cannot rule the world created by an omnipotent and Just God. God will punish those evil deeds and behaviors; no one can escape the wrath of God!

Malaysia: Lack of Integrity?

In remarks on recent developments in Thailand and Malaysia, Lee Kuan Yew said - in response to a question on the future of the Asian region - that he is filled with 'dismay' that these two countries have run into severe problems:

"It fills me with dismay because these were potentially promising countries, promising economies, but now they've run into some very severe problems.

You look at Malaysia. The economy. It is one of the wealthiest countries in the region. It's got oil, it's got gas, it's got palm oil. All the commodities it has. It's also got a manufacturing sector.

But suddenly, it's trapped in some political-cum-personal difficulties of charges and counter-charges which can only be bad for the economy. I think the KL Stock Exchange has gone down by some 20 per cent. I don't track it, but I know it's down.

But I see all these problems as man-made. It's not economics. It is lack of a certain integrity in the system that you are entrusted with."

Pedra Branca: Malaysia won 2 piece of land, Singapore only 1 tiny portion

Malaysia has won Pedra Branca territorial dispute!

The ICJ has declared by a 15-1 majority to award Malaysia the territories of Middle Rock and Southern Ledge.

As a consolation, Malaysia has impliedly consented and agreed to the decision of the ICJ to grant Singapore the other parts of Pedra Branca by a 12-4 majority.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim described the judgment as a "win-win" situation. He said the status quo remained although Singapore has sovereignty over Pulau Batu Puteh and Malaysia over Middle Rocks. (Source: S'pore takes Pulau Batu Puteh, M'sia gets Middle Rocks)


This is the land we had won ....


Not bad; quite a large piece for us!

At the least, this picture is big!

And we got 2 pieces:

Middle Rock & Southern Ledge!

Actually, there's one more piece that had yet to be awarded to us; and our Minister is confident that we will win the last piece.

(Photo showing South Ledge at low tide which was [to be] awarded [will be awarded according to Rais' confidence] to Malaysia)








This is the only piece given to Singapore.

Singapore only won a small piece;

and that piece had only a small structure;

no hotel, no shopping complex and no Twin Tower like KLCC and KLIA; not like our Putrajaya and our PM's residence;


Theirs is not that big piece ...after all!


Two is surely more than one!

Positive thinking! Positive belief!

Positive writing! Constructive and motivating journalism!

Positive Message! Malaysian values!

Of Sour Grapes and Green Apples


Malaysian Prime Minister said yesterday that it is not fair to compare Malaysia with Singapore.

[Quote:]

"It is like comparing "First-class Grapes" with "First-class Apple".

"We are a population of over 20 million and we rank 8th in the world in terms of our competitiveness."

"I am not telling you lies. This statistic is from an international survey."

"Everywhere I go, the business community tells me that Malaysia is doing very well. These people are smart. You cannot fool them because they are well-read."

"Please trust us - we are your government."

""Nobody is happy to see prices rising but this is out of our control."

"The private sector is dominated by the Chinese and I want to say a big 'thank you' to the community for creating so many job opportunities." [unquote]

Grapes and Apple? We are grapes, they are apple?

I think it's more of Rats and Lions.

This is the year of the Rat; so using the analogy of Rat is more appropriate.

I always thought a bigger population will create a greater mass and greater domestic consumption which can fuel the economy. This is why the USA economy had thrived; largely on greater domestic consumption. But America's economy thrived on innovation and creativity, and attracting foreign investments to the tune of trillions of dollars, due to the laissez-faire doctrine. Malaysia thrived on Crony-Capitalism and Kautimism. Singapore had no natural resources except human capitals, and they thrived on trade and financial services. Most of all, Singapore invested their national funds in the global economy, buying good companies and generating billions of profit from these investments. This, we had failed, and failed miserably.

Grapes? Ya, sour grapes! The apple remains green...

Singaporeans Dilemma

They had been married for 10 years and had sex 3 times a week and more than 1,000 times, but she is still a virgin.

He had a doctorate degree but zero knowledge on sex.

This is the new dilemma of Singaporeans, particularly those graduates from universities. They don't know how to do it.

Maybe, they should come to Malaysian universities.

According to a global survey, more than 62% of Malaysians were satisfied with their sex game. More than 35% of Malaysians surveyed had sex more than 3-times a week. 57% uses erotic materials and 72% uses sex aids. 64% wanted more fun during sex and 74% wanted more romance with their partners during the game. Another survey reported than most Malaysians undergraduates had sex before the age of 20.

So, maybe, afterall, our universities in Malaysia had beaten the Singapore counterparts in one area of knowledge... Malaysia Boleh did work, in specific areas, that our public universities or societal universities had an area of excellent competency, and/or we do have wider and broader practical experiments in our society as compared to Singapore. It may also prove that our lecturers, are afterall, not that bad; they do have a competency in a very specialize area of life knowledge.

Chicken & Duck Talk Cock


Is this Talking about Fruits or Fruitful Talks?

Does Chicken understand Duck Talks about Cocks?

Singapore Lee Hsien Loong said arbitration is still the better solution to the bilateral problems between both countries. HL Lee gave the example of Pulau Batu Putih's conflict resolution in which both countries agreed to put the matter before the International Court of Justice to be adjudicated. To HL Lee, this is the possible model solution for both countries to deal with all other issues as well.

Is that called Fruitful? It's truly a Durian-type solution!
