Melayu Bangsaku,Asal Usul Ku...

Salam & Greetings,

First of all,apologize and mintak maaf about whatever i am going to say here but here goes.....

One of the things that till today disturbs me is on the way we think or the mentality of my own ethnic or race. I am writing this down in no means to humiliate,downgrade or to he hurtful to anyone not especially to my own race but i am kinda sick with whats happening around me, my community and the malay community at large but i have to say this cause i love my bangsa very much, i love my negara very much and its better to start with one at a time in trying to change the mentality of the whole race.

I know and fully understand that a few of our malays have actually made it in the corporate market and are being rich and successful right now but what i am saying here is the current situation which is happening in the middle income, lower income group and may be some from the higher income.

The government have been giving a lot of help ad subsidies to us especially to the rural areas. Some of the projects are upgrading roads in all village to have a better communication, upgrading water supply by providing water pipes to connect all houses,upgrading sanitation by replacing the old type septic systems with new modern systems and so on. It is not the subsidies or the assistance the government is giving I am talking about but the scenarios or the actual incidents that i myself had encountered numerous of times.

I cakap ni through my own experience that i personally went through and i just felt that i need to write this down,

Most of our malays in the rural areas..(...even in the urban and suburban areas as well..)still have the mentality of waiting for the governments help and subsidies.I understand about asking or requesting for big projects for the betterment of their kampung but if to change the door of their own toilet pun have to request from the local wakil rakyat or even worse for the past 40 years they have been living at the same house without a toilet and they are actually waiting for the government to sponsor or give subsidies to them to build the toilet for their family's own usage!What have you been doing for the past 40 years?Where have you, your teenage daughter , wife and the whole family done it?Tolonglah wahai bangsaku,hentikanlah semua ini. Disebabkan segelintir besar berperangai macam ni,semua penduduk dapat malu..bangsa lagi malu.

Dalam era kita in the year 2007, i am very sad to actually see with my own eyes these things are happening where it should not even be brought up..walau sekelumit sekalipun.Itu cerita pasal tanas and tangki najis baru, bila cerita about new roads for their own convenience..lain pulak isunya...jalan tu tak boleh lalu tanah kawan ni sebabnya..itu tanah dia..mintak gantirugi,kalau tak tak boleh lalu.Tolonglah buang jauh2 sikap dengki, berkira sesama bangsa dan sikap menjatuhkan bangsa sendiri.

I am sure most of you have seen or been through this incidents macam kalau you notice, bila ada satu melayu berniaga nasi lemak or apa2 sekaipun lah..laksake, mi goreng ke, kuih ke.. di tepi jalan, bisnes maju and ramai orang datang beli and dia dapat buka gerai kecik kat tepi tu..mesti ada sorang lagi melayu akan bukak gerai nasi lemak jugak tapi tak sedap.Bila tak laku mulalah dengki and khianat pada yang maju tadi.Cari jalan nak menjatuhkan kawan yang maju tadi.Bermacam cara dicuba and seperti biasa bila tak jadik apa-apa..santau or pergi tanam macam-macam benda haram depan kedai kawan ni..lama-lama bukan saja dia punya bisnes tak maju,kawan yang maju nipun terlungkup jugak.Seronok la kawan yang buat benda tak senonoh ni tapi yang dia lupa yang terlungkup ni bangsa dia and orang melayu, and dia pun terlungkup jugak.Bila dah terlungkup,senang je..salahkan kerajaan pasal tak bantu bumiputera secukupnya.Itu contoh or sample dari aspek gerai makan,belum lagi dari aspek pegawai kerajaan, menteri sesama menteri, pegawai sesama pegawai, pekerja swasta sesama pekerja swasta..tapi yang herannya semua sesama melayu.Bila dengan bagsa lain tak berani pulak nakbuat camtu.Lagi disembah and disokong sepenuh hati.Toloooongla wahai bangsaku...cukuplah dengan perangai macam ni...

Salah satu perangai bangsaku ni, bila ada orang tegur mulalah melenting sampai ke atas pokok...derhaka lah..tak sayang bangsalah..pengkhianatlah tapi yang ditegur tu benda yang tak betul.Kalau benda betul takkan orang nak bising and nak kacau...i am sure ramai yang tak setuju with what i say dalam ni tapi i cakap bukan semua tapi kebanyakan orang kita.

Ada satu joke yang a non malay bagi kat i dulu...

"Di neraka, ada 3 lubang berapi yang besar..satu untuk orang cina, satu untuk orang india and satu untuk orang melayu...yang untuk cina dan india ni ada pagar and ada guard kat atas and akan tolak or tikam orang yang nak naik untuk lari dari dalam lubang neraka tetapi dalam lubang neraka orang melayu ni..pagar takde and guard pun takde..so, i tanyakenapa takde..dia kata bila ada orang melayu dari dalm lubangtu nak panjat keluar untuk lari, orang melayu lain yang ada kat bawah akan tarik kawan nitadi jatuh masuk ke dalam lubang neraka tadi..."

Panas telinga dengar tapi apa yang dia kata tu memang betul and tepat sekali. Berapa ramai antara kita yang fully aware about this things tapi just setakat senyum and ketawa saja and berpeluk tubuh bila diajukan perkara sebegini dengan alasan.."nak buat camne..dah depa camtu..".Sebab macam ni lah orang kita jadi macam tu.

It all begins with ourselves.Bermula dengan kita,ubahlah mentaliti yang teruk tu.Janganlah terlalu mengharapkan akan bantuan selamanya.Cubalah kita pulak yang membantu bangsa kita sendiri supaya bangsa kita taklagi bergantung dengan bangsa lain dari segi monopoli semua benda.Mula satu langkah demi satulangkah, mula dari diri sendiri,pastu aanak2 kita, family members kita and pastu orang terdekat. Ini bukan nya MLM or piramid yang nak buat duit tapi cara untuk menukar mentaliti orang kita sendiri dan secara tak langsung persepsi dunia luar kepada kita.

Cuba tanyakan soalan-soalan beikut kepada diri sendiri dan fikirkanlah kenapa dan macamana caranya Melayu dapat keluar dari apa yang ada sekarang...

Berapa ramai bebudak yang datang mintak sedekah or derma untuk bina surau or masjid as compared to orang bangsalain datang mintak dermabina tokong or kuil mereka?Adakah ini salah kita or pentadbiran kerajaan?Mana silap kita disini?

Berapa kalikah kita terniat untuk menolong sesama melayu samaada kita dalam kerajaan atau tidak tanpa mengharapkan imbuhan dari yang ditolong?Adakah kita dididik sebegini dari kecil?Pernahkah kita betul-betul award sesuatu projek or beri bantuan tanpa perlu dilobi?

Kenapa bangsa melayu ni kalaumintak kerja di pejabat swasta, gaji permulaan yang dipohon mesti rendah-serendahnya tak setaraf dengan kelayakan or pengalaman.Kenapa kita sanggup hidup susah dan bergaji rendah semata2 nak kerja..dengan alasan nak pengalaman..(Bila dah dapat kerja..komplen gaji ciput la sikit lah ,kenapa masa mula masuk tak tak letak your standard?)

Kenapa perlu politik untuk menjadi kaya dan senang lenang?

Ingat tak dulu, ex PM Tun Mahathir punya poem/Melayu Mudah Lupa?How relevant or adakah ianya berkaitan dengan kita secara tak langsung or secara langsung?

Maafkan saya dengan semua ini tapi i just felt like i need to write this somewhere but i feel what i say is true and right because i came from the same ethnic group myself.

Will keep on expressing my views here or elsewhere......

A Very Sad Day For All Malaysians....A Rebate Story!

Today the queues at all post office were very, very long indeed.Some of us even came as early as 0730hrs just to get the RM625.00 rebate as promised by the government but I felt really,really sad cause once again Pak Lah and his dwarves managed to make the 'rakyat' suffer' again and insulted every single Malaysian as if all of us are beggars!What I really don't understand is why give a rebate due to the oil price being hiked?Why the rakyat made to suffer the long queue just to get the rebate?Can't the think tank of the government thought of any other better ways to give the rebate to the rakyat?I am really sad and the same time really pissed off by the government's decision on this matter!I know I am not a specialist or one of the learned people in finance but i am sure there are better ways other than to make the rakyat made to look like beggars in their own country!

The problem that most of vehicle owners are facing now is mainly the oil price which is very unthinkable since we are an oil producing country.If the government really wants to help the rakyat or the vehicle owners they should give a rebate but not in this manner but they could have rebated or deducted the insurance that we have to pay every time we renew our roadtax or they could even abolished road tax altogether cause i am sure it will not harm the country cause other major countries are doing it or they don't even have road tax in the first place.The government could also abolished the tax for all cars which actually jacked up the price of all cars and in Malaysia the cars sold here are very much higher than other countries,just because the government felt that it must be taxed to up to 300%!
Where did the financial think tank came from..i heard that someone from a bank was appointed to run the country's economy but can't he thought of a better method to manage our finance?
I am really sad today and i am sure for the days to come i will be even more sad with the prices of basic necessities looming around the corner to be hiked up as well!

I hope there will be a day that i won't be sad anymore!Thank you Pak Lah for making us a beggar in our own country!

The Idiots Controlling Our Economy....

I got this email today..actually a few days back but don't really have time to go through all of my emails until just now.Anyhow, this writer wrote a very interesting and detailed analysis of our current situation on the oil price crisis and most of the facts given are true.Hopefully the people in the Ministry of Finance are reading this but I felt everyone of us should know whats really going on with our Pak Lah and his dwarves...read on and analyze yourself!

WHAT IS NEVER MENTIONED IN Mainstream Media like NST/TheStar/Utusan/BH are these facts....

Malaysian PerCapita Income USD 5000
VS
Singaporean PerCapita Income USD 25000

Further The Star made a comparison of prices in Thailand , Singapore and Indonesia .

For Thailand it is quoted at RM3.90/liter, however are they aware that in Thailand new cars are cheaper than Malaysia by RM10,000? They pay only one life time for their driving license? No renewal fee after that? Also that goes for road tax as well? And do TheStar also aware that you can drive all the way from Hadtyai to Bangkok on a six lane highway without paying any Tolls ??!!

Whereas here in Malaysia you have to pay yearly renewal for road tax , driving license and TOLLS, TOLLS, TOLLS!!!

For Singapore how can you quote RM 5.20 ? Please quote in Singapore Dollars because they are earning in Sing Dollars. You might as well say Europeans are paying RM10/liter. RM5.20/liter = Sing $ 2.20/liter, still cheaper than Malaysia in view of fact that Singapore is not a crude oil exporter. Are you saying that you fill up petrol in Singapore by paying Ringgit?

In economy, dollar to dollar must be compared as apple to apple. Not comparing like durian in M'sia is much cheaper than durian in Japan!! Of course-lah, Japan is not durian producer!!! Comparing Malaysian durian with Thailand durian make more sense!!

For Indonesia we might say is cheaper there at RM2.07/liter but compare that to their level of income!


Now, let us compare the price with OIL PRODUCING countries:

UAE – RM1.19/litre
Eygpt – RM1.03/litre
Bahrain – RM0.87/litre
Qatar – RM0.68/litre
Kuwait – RM0.67/litre
Saudi Arabia – RM0.38/litre
Iran – RM0.35/litre
Nigeria – RM0.32/litre
Turkmenistan – RM0.25/litre
Venezuela – RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA – RM2.70/litre

RM 2.70!!! Individual perspective:

As of last month a Toyota Vios would 'cause a damage' of about RM 89,000.
In the international market, a Toyota Vios is about USD 19,000
USD 19,000 = RM 62,700 (using the indicative rates of USD 1 = RM 3.30)
That makes Malaysian Vios owners pay an extra RM 26,300.

This RM 26,300 should be cost of operations, profit and tax because the transportation costs have been factored in to the USD 19,000.

RM 26,300/ RM625 petrol rebate per year translates to a Vios being used for 42.08 years.

I do understand that the RM 625 is a rebate given by the government, but it also means that one has to use the Vios for 42.08 years just to make back the amount paid in taxes for the usage of a foreign car. Would anyone use any kind of car for that long?

Now with these numbers in front of us, does the subsidy sound like a subsidy or does it sound like a penalty? This just seems to be a heavy increment in our daily cost of living as we are not only charged with high car taxes but also with a drastic increase in fuel price.

With all the numbers listed out, I urge all Malaysians to join me in analyzing the situation further.

Car taxation is government profit, fuel sales is Petronas' (GLC) profit which also translates into government profit. The government may ridicule us Malaysians by saying look at the world market and fuel price world wide. Please, we are Malaysians, we fought of the British, had a international port in the early centuries (Malacca), home to a racially mixed nation and WE ARE NOT STUPID!!!

We know the international rates are above the USD 130/barrel. We understand the fact that the fuel prices are increasing worldwide and we also know that major scientist are still contradicting on why this phenomenon is happening. Some blame Bush and his plunders around the world and some blame climate change and there are others which say petroleum 'wells' are getting scarce.

Again we go back to numbers to be more straight fwd

1 barrel = 159 liters x RM2.70/liter = RM 429 or USD 134

On 1 hand, we are paying the full cost of 1 barrel of crude oil with RM2.70 per liter but on the other hand the crude oil only produces 46% of fuel.

Msia sells crude oil per barrel at USD130 buys back Fuel per barrel at USD134. And not forgetting, every barrel of fuel is produced with 2 barrels of crude oil.

1 barrel crude oil = produce 46% fuel (or half of crude oil), therefore
2 barrel crude oil = approximately 1 barrel fuel
In other words, each time we sell 2 barrels of crude oil, equivalently we will buy back 1 barrel of fuel.

Financially,
Malaysia sell 2 barrel crude oil @ USD 130/barrel = USD 260 = RM 858
then, Malaysia will buy back fuel @ USD 134/barrel = RM 442/barrel
Thus, Malaysia earn net extra USD 126 = RM 416 for each 2 barrel of crude sold/exported vs imported 1 barrel of fuel !!!
(USD 260-134 = USD 126 = RM416)

So where this extra USD 126/barrel income is channeled to by Malaysian Govt?????????

Another analysis:

1 barrel crude oil = 159 liters.
46-47% of a barrel of crude oil = fuel that we use in our vehicles.
46% of 159 = 73.14 liters.
@ RM 2.70/liter x 73.14 liter = RM197.48 of fuel per barrel of crude oil. This is only 46% of the barrel, mind you. Using RM 3.30 = USD 1, we get that a barrel of crude oil produces USD 59.84 worth of petrol fuel (46% of 1barrel).
USD 59.84 of USD 130/barrel turns out to be 46% of a barrel as well.

Another 54% = bitumen, kerosene, and natural gases and so many more.
And this makes a balance of USD 70.16 that has not been accounted for.

So this is where I got curious. Where is the subsidy if we are paying 46% of the price of a barrel of crude oil when the production of petrol/barrel of crude oil is still only 46%?

In actual fact, we still pay for this as they are charged in the forms of fuel surcharge by airlines and road taxes for the building of road (because they use the tar/bitumen) and many more excuse charging us but let us just leave all that out of our calculations.

As far as I know, only the politicians who live in Putrajaya and come for their Parliament meetings in Kuala Lumpur (approximately 60+ km) are the ones to gain as they claim their fuel and toll charges from the money of the RAKYAT's TAX.

It is so disappointing to see this happen time and time again to the Malaysian public, where they are deceived by the propaganda held by the politicians and the controls they have over the press.

Which stupid idiot economist equates rebates for rich or poor with the cc of the vehicles? An average office clerk may own a second hand 1300cc proton Iswara costing $7,000 (rebate = $625) while the Datuk's children can own a fleet of 10 new cars of BMW, Audi and Volvo all less than 2000cc costing $2 millions and get a total rebate of $625 x 10 = $6,250! Wow what kind of economists we are keeping in Malaysia...wonder which phD certificate that they bought from...

Misleading concept of Subsidy:

The word "subsidy" has been brandished by the BN government as if it has so generously helped the rakyat and in doing so incurred losses. This simple example will help to explain the fallacy:

Example:
Ahmad is a fisherman. He sells a fish to you at $10 which is below the market value of $15. Let's assume that he caught the fish from the abundance of the sea at little or no cost. Ahmad claims that since the market value of the fish is $15 and he sold you the fish for $10, he had subsidised you $5 and therefore made a loss of $5.

Question : Did Ahmad actually make a profit of $10 or loss of $5 which he claimed is the subsidy?

Answer:
Ahmad makes a profit of $10 which is the difference of the selling price ($10) minus the cost price ($0 since the fish was caught from the abundance of the sea). There is no subsidy as claimed by Ahmad.


The BN government claims that it is a subsidy because the oil is kept and treated as somebody else's property (you know who). By right, the oil belongs to all citizens of the country and the government is a trustee for the citizens. So as in the above simple example, the BN government cannot claim that it has subsidised the citizen!

I thank the writer for this great facts but I apologize cause I do not know from where this article generated from cause it was forwarded to me from a friend.Anyhow, KUDOS to the writer and hope all Malaysians have a better understanding on the current situation now!

The RM2 Billion Question?

The government announced a 10% cut on all of their ministers and cabinet members entertainment allowance on top of other things such as directing them to not go vacationing out of Asia.They did it proudly as if the announcement that they did was something that could really help a lot of the 'rakyat' such as myself, a servant or to be exact a clown whom got paid like a dog in the private sector!

Every main newspaper front paged the so called cost cutting measures taken by the government.They even dare say that the burden due to the oil price increase must be shared and borne by both the rakyat and the government which came to the question, who are actually paying the salaries of the ministers?What do they mean share the burden?

What i really am asking here is if a 10% cut on their so-called 'elaun keraian' or in plain english is 'entertainment allowance' could save the government RM2 billion, what is the actual amount of allowance are these people really getting?10% (RM2 billion) is a fraction of a very,very,very large amount.You do the maths!!If the whole entertainment allowance(90% more) and paid vacation are scrapped off..we will have a lot of money to actually subsidize the oil and the rakyat will not have to be burdened by the price increase of everything in the market.Have the ministers really been down here to the shops?Didn't they notice that even the price of chicken eggs have increased?I am sure these ministers did not do their groceries by themselves and I am sure even before this they don't even know the price of anything....cause all of their groceries are handled by their servants, 3 to 4 of them!(..a minister even guaranteed that other price's of goods will not increase due to the removal of oil subsidy!Is he plain stupid or just trying to be stupid!Even a pre-schooler knows that if the price of petrol or diesel increased, transportation costs will definitely increase, and when that happens all things which requires to be transported throughout the country will increase!Yet, he is a minister in charge of all these!Makes me really sick!!)

As a responsible government, asking the rakyat to actually change their lifestyle is not the correct way of handling the oil price increase.What happened to the profits our government make from the increase of palm oil?Where is our other resources?I am sure even though the world oil price increased but the price of other commodities also increase,meaning our government still makes profit if not from oil.One other thing is, we are also a producer of oil!Can't we increase our production for local use and stay with our own price instead of following the world trend??What they should have done is to actually work harder to get more investors from outside to invest and boost and generate more revenue for the country and not by cutting cost because what i felt is..what is left for us to cut since all of our money or salary that we took home every month is not even enough to get by...and that is just to cater for necessities!Change our lifestyle?Tell me how?(..if i am not wrong, someone told me that Pak Lah said they cannot continue with the subsidy and the government has got not enough money because all the money have been used for the salary hike of the government sector?Is this for real?Please correct me if i am wrong but what did any of us in the private sector received from the government?Did the salary increase for the government servants have any relevance to us in the private sectors?This is what we get from a leader like this!)

I am very tired of all these 'wayang' given to the rakyat by this government?I bet tomorrow will be another day where the rakyat will still lose no matter what the leader announce or do!I just pray that this will all stop and i pray for the future of the rakyat and especially my kids!

Will write more when i can gather up the strength left in my soul!
