Our disgust with Mahathir and Matthias's blind support of the 'evil one' is behind the enmity that is shown to him.<br /> However, justice is the right of every Malaysian even someone as screwed up as Matthias. There is much disquiet over the behaviour of certain judges and the Chief Justice would do well for the overall image of the judiciary to bring these judges to task.<br /> There are however many forms of corruption and material gain is only one of them. The desire for power or to be close to the rich and powerful is no less insidious. Matthias has alienated many right thinking Malaysians in his blind loyalty to people who have destroyed and subverted key instituitions and values of this country including the due process of the law.<br /> Matthias's antics to many seem more to do with grandstanding rather than solving the problem of errant judges. It may unfortunately lead to a closing of ranks and a defence of the errant judge. While sad, it therefore not surprising there is very little sympathy for poor Matthias as the public in general have forgotten his past exploits- his vigorous protest against the sacking of Tun Salleh Abas and his early opposition to Mahathir.<br /> All we remember is a brilliant twisted mind that is bent on convincing us that Mahathir's rule of iron, political expediency at the expense of what is decent and good and previously unseen levels of corruption should NOT be consigned to dustbin of history.<br />MM2HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-63357445651514493482010-04-10T01:03:56.834+08:002010-04-10T01:03:56.834+08:00Salam Datuk,

Of that, 200,000 left within the eight months of January-August 2009.<br /><br />Some analysts are of the opinion that, cumulatively, 2 million Malaysians have migrated. By a strange coincidence, that's pretty close to the number of Indonesian workers (legal and illegal) in Malaysia today.<br /><br />Now, what were the migration figures for Singapore again?<br /><br />And I note that the person who posted from Singapore and who tried to rebut my views conveniently omitted to post just how many foreigners have been given PR status in Singapore. It can easily be Googled. Why overlook this salient fact when posting about Singaporeans migrating?skilgannon1066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-5083514230133843592010-04-09T16:48:53.770+08:002010-04-09T16:48:53.770+08:00What were some of the key points the PM made in hi...What were some of the key points the PM made in his speech at the Foreign Correspondents' Association dinner in Singapore?<br /><br />- that Malaysia will most probably return to the international bond market by floating a global bond in US Dollars. This will give an insight into how the market rates the country.<br /><br />Read that again: HOW THE MARKET RATES THE COUNTRY. So much for the idiots who blissfully claim that Malaysia is somehow insulated from "brutal competition".<br /><br />And with reports that Russia is planning to sell global bonds worth US$3-5 billion within the April-May timeframe and commodities-rich Brazil also planning to sell global bonds soon, one wonder how the market will rate Malaysia.<br /><br />- with regard to oil subsidies, the PM said that Malaysia is probably the country with the most generous subsidies in the world and that this cannot be sustained. He mentioned that direct and indirect subsidies in Malaysia "are to the tune of RM73 billion a year...That's an awful lot of money, and it has distorted the allocation of resources...We cannot be competitive until we move towards more market-level prices".<br /><br />The PM said RM73 billion a year in direct and indirect subsidies. Did he get his figures wrong, or was he mis-reported? I didn't see any spin doctors rushing to clarify what he said in his speech.<br /><br />U wanna ask the geniuses at Perkasa for their views on Malaysia returning to the international bond market? No doubt they will want to claim 67 per cent of the proceeds from any global bond sale......skilgannon1066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-28955702823974080242010-04-09T16:31:02.580+08:002010-04-09T16:31:02.580+08:00Warrior xxx

A little detail like that slipped past your mighty intellect, eh?<br /><br />Why didn't u mention that the big Middle East state-owned oil companies have significant trading operations in Singapore? Example - ENOC (Emirates National Oil Co). And, if I am not wrong, Petronas also does a sizeable amount of oil trading through Singapore.<br /><br />Be that as it may, my post was about the comment that Malaysia has the 9th least corrupted judiciary. That wasn't my comment.<br /><br />If u want to refute the Global Competitiveness Index methodology, then post your arguments for all to see. And if u have strong views about Malaysia's international competitiveness ranking vis-a-vis other countries, let's hear them. At least, the PM and the NEAC seem to have recognised that Malaysia has problems with it's competitiveness.<br /><br />Unless, of course, u are of the view that the PM is misguided and that the NEAC are a bunch of morons.skilgannon1066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-45040834588533730362010-04-07T19:31:41.417+08:002010-04-07T19:31:41.417+08:00Bingo Turpin, pretty observant of yah to pick out ...Bingo Turpin, pretty observant of yah to pick out the crackpots here which invariably have chingkie prostitute blood fowing in their veins. poor sods .....ooops SOBS.<br /><br />anyway, spotted this on under commodity data (table 6) accessible here:<br /><br />http://www.fas.usda.gov/oilseeds/circular/Current.htm<br /><br />malaysia is no 2, spore nowhere in sight.<br /><br />Lets begin comparing elephants and donkeys next and equatorial Guine's per capita income of 60k with US's 44k....hahahahahaha<br />how moronic people can get when they clutch at their old whore's panties.stupid fellatists!<br /><br />Warrior 231Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28452020.post-55454686297164913152010-04-07T08:02:39.493+08:002010-04-07T08:02:39.493+08:00Looks like someone with a perverted addiction for ...Looks like someone with a perverted addiction for indices, rankings, perceptions whatever is unashamedly back to spout more inane garbage , a week or so after being pwned bigtime into utter speechlessness by his countryman.And the shameless gall of not even managing a decent response yet having the gumption to slither in here to post more garbage.No honour, no pride and no selfrespect indeed!! <br /><br />Also exactly a month or so after the IMF chap, hishamh etc showed him up to be a pompous condescending moron.

Read the fine print, Sir - this was a TI assessment done in 2007.<br /><br />For a more recent assessment, check the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index 2009-2010, where Malaysia is ranked 24th (down from 21st in 2008-2009).<br /><br />And on the matter of Institutions, Malaysia is ranked 43rd out of 133 economies surveyed. In the Judicial Independence category, which is part of Institutions, Malaysia is ranked 53rd out of 133 economies.<br /><br />Everybody's favourite bete-noire, Singapore, is ranked 3rd in the same survey (up from 5th in 2008-2009).
