Fell for an old newsroom trick, and for a moment I thought the Deputy Prime Minister was writing for Brenden Pereira's*Malaysian Insider.
It's actually a piece that first appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Click here to read the entire article.
* Brenden is ex-NST group editor, one of 4 who, with the NSTP, filed a suit against me in Jan 2007. Next date in court is in May.
A dinosaur stimulus package, lacking in substance and vision. Will not reach those who are really in need...job protection and jobless.
ReplyDeletegood balanced piece.
ReplyDelete;)
there is very little substance in this blog nowadays. are you being busily groomed for a post at najib's media empire.
ReplyDeletetok janggut
Bru,
ReplyDeleteUntil when KJ going to depend on Dollah "wonderpet" assistance.
We'll see.
Rocky,
ReplyDeleteBrendan Photocopy - he's just another pawn. Just ignore him
Bro,
ReplyDeleteMacam mana itu, ciplak ke ni?.
Ke benda sama dia yang tulis?
Cut and paste ke bro kes ini?.
Thanks
What will Malaysia Insider's plan when Abdullah steps down? Wind up?, merge with Malaysiakini? take over by Sime Darby, ECM Libra, Patrick Lim, SCOMI?
ReplyDeleteHAI BRO ROCKY, GOOD ARTICLE THANKS BRO..
ReplyDeleteHAI JED, WHY UR GAMBAR SO KALER KALER WAN?
Whats happening Rocky?
ReplyDeleteYour blog is becoming more like Malaysia Today - majority of your postings just cut and paste article from other media?
Say something from your own thoughts and be ready to face views from readers.
Leave this cut and paste stuff to others who specialise in this approach.
On the other hand, kalau you want to continue this style, then how about your own reviews - with comparisons to actual sitaution in the country?
Sanngup tak? And still allow readers views that may not agree with yours?
ANOTHER MALAYSIAN
Whatever Stimulus package,,,and meniru cara America,,,lalu allocate RM60 billion,,,kami lagi merana tinggal di Malaysia dibawah Pemerintah BODOWI and NAJIS.
ReplyDelete-BODO2-
A very well written piece by our future PM. Make my eyes water, I'm so proud to be a Malaysian today. Thank you Rock for bringing this piece to my attention. Your blog really rock! I hope soon you won't be a mere blogger anymore but chief editor of one of newspapers. People would come streaming back ...
ReplyDeleteOrang PEMALAS dan BODOH SOMBONG sahaja yang merana tinggal di Malaysia ini.
ReplyDeleteTerima kasih.
*manletih*
BTW, Rocky..got any thing to say on Zaid Ibrahim's speech at the Rotary Club yesterday?
ReplyDeleteThis piece by Najib will certainly get Anwar and his Phakatan Rioters real worry!
ReplyDeleteIf the above is translated into real action, sure it will be a better Malaysia.
Better Tommorrow
you sure it's the Malaysia model and not the Mongolia model ?
ReplyDeleteGodfather
rocky,
ReplyDeletei am worry because someone must advice dato najib. for example, when Tan Sri Isa Samad found gulity of money issue, he force to resign as minister, but case is different with Ali Rustam, why?

Rocky,
ReplyDeleteThis article is a whole load of drivel.
I am not one to attend political ceramah's in general but I just got to listen into my first UMNO ceramah through my friend's bedroom window.
Basically Idris Harun, our Deputy Higher Education Minister just held a ceramah tonight at a house (which I believe is used as office) in Ipoh which is located behind my friend's road. The PA system was generous enough to share his sermon with all neighbours.
1) Is he even allowed to unofficially address (lobby?) UMNO reps/members as he is running for a post? Official meeting was held yesterday at the town hall. He seemed to be giving them advice relating to 26 March 2009.
2) He was going on about how the "instant noodle" strategy will no longer be implemented for future elections as non UMNO voters are ungrateful.
3) He was lamenting how non Malays are grateful (talking about pig farms in Alor Gajah etc. when he was based there and how Malays have been tolerant but non Malays haven't)
4) He was commenting about how his non Malay BN colleagues assist their own race on the sly.
5) Grooming a small number of students to promote UMNO at their universities (using tanam padi as an analogy).
5) He started commenting about the success of UITM before I tuned out from hearing the nonsense.
My point is, why does Najib want to hoodwink us into believing the nonsense in the article when everyone in the vicinity of the house (who bothered to listen) just heard our Deputy Minister for Higher Education criticise his colleagues and making some not so tactful comments?
I am a voter and based on the drivel I heard from his mouth (a Minister), I am not impressed with what UMNO have to offer.
Lastly, if UMNO leaders intend to make such comments, please do not be so generous with the sound system.
-Hard of Hearing-
What's this Bru!
ReplyDeleteLimbang issue was never discussed: Pehin Dato Lim
Ubaidillah Masli
BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN
Wednesday, March 18, 2009
THE Second Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Dewa Dato Seri Setia Lim Jock Seng yesterday clarified that the issue of territorial claims over Limbang was never discussed in the agreements signed on Monday, which resolved the "outstanding bilateral issues" between Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia.
"From a press report, (it was stated that) Brunei has accepted Malaysia's reported claim on Limbang or that it (Brunei) has dropped its claim (on Limbang). In actual fact, the issue of claims over Limbang was never discussed," Pehin Dato Lim said. "What was discussed is regarding the demarcation of land boundaries."
The second minister of foreign affairs and trade had been referring to statements reported by news publications which quoted Malaysian Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi speaking to Malaysian reporters at a press conference, saying that Brunei had dropped all territorial claims over Limbang as a result of the signing of the Letters of Exchange (LoE).
"Brunei has decided to drop the Limbang issue and as a result, Limbang is part of Malaysian territory, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced to Malaysian media," according to a report by Malaysian newspaper The Star yesterday.
However, Pehin Dato Lim neither confirmed nor denied the Malaysian premier's statement.
Pehin Dato Lim made the announcement during the afternoon session of yesterday's State Legislative Council meeting, where he reiterated the joint statement issued by the leaders of both nations regarding the signing of the LoE and its contents.
According to the statement, the documents included the "final delimitation of maritime boundaries" between Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia, the establishment of the Commercial Arrangement Area in oil and gas, the modalities for the final demarcation of the land boundaries between the two countries and the "unsuspendable rights of maritime access" for nationals and residents of Malaysia crossing Brunei maritime zones to and from Sarawak, provided that Brunei's laws and regulations are observed.
Quoting the joint statement, Pehin Dato Lim said that the demarcation of land boundaries would be resolved on the basis of five existing historical agreements between the governments of Brunei and Sarawak, and where appropriate, the watershed principle.
Also during the State Legislative Council Meeting, Dato Paduka Hj Puasa Orang Kaya Seri Pahlawan Tudin raised issues pertaining to problems, such as long traffic queues, encountered by travellers passing through checkpoints at Kuala Lurah and Puni. He asked whether there would be any improvement to infrastructure at these control posts to address these problems.
In response to this, Pehin Dato Lim said that plans were in place to resolve the situation but could not be carried out until the border issue was resolved. A joint technical committee has been assigned to finalise the formalities of the boundary demarcation.

they are so so so scared that Najib will get you to return to NST.....some people are surely shivering.
what fun!
tak habis habis lah these peole!
rocky,
ReplyDeletekalian pasti sudah baca ucapan zaid ibrahim di mana beliau meminta Tuank Yang di pertuan agung usah melantik datuk najib sebagai Perdana Menteri ganti datul Abdullah badawi.
pandangan saya ialah zaid mengucap sebagai wakil Parti Pembangkang (PKR). Beliau tiada kewibawaan langsung. Siapa Zaid? Seorang para hukum jutawan yang telah merangkup kekayaan punca bantuan Umno dan rakan2 Umno.
Asas sebab-sebab di beri Zaid, memang tidak mantap kiraan beliau.
Adalah taktik dan niat jahat Zaid berucap sedemikian.
Renounce your political religion.
ReplyDeleteJoin me and we shall destroy the galaxy together!
Nghoooo...

Alamak Rocky! The guy's suing you and you can't even spell his name! It's "Brendan" lah, not "Brenden"! Nywayz, hope you win the case... Yeah man!
