Mahathir visiting China – The truths will be told

Mahathir will be spending 5 days in China to set a new path for relations between the two countries. In his meeting with Xi, many agreements are likely to be signed to promote trade and development. This is Mahathir’s Durian Diplomacy when durian is going to play a key role in a new phase of China Malaysia relations, eclipsing the shadowy relations with the USA. Even before his trip, Mahathir has already disclosed the American meddling to block Chinese investments in Malaysia and paying Malaysia a sum of more than US$20m to achieve that. What? The Americans meddling, manipulating and coercing Malaysia to go against China? How can, the Americans are such peaceful and nice people, never do that, if you ask the Gang of 4 in little Red Dot. They will be fuming mad and accusing you, oops, accusing Mahathir of spreading fake news.
 

Mahathir’s trip to China would reveal many truths that China and the world would want to know. Top on the list would be the disappearing of MH370. The families of the victims are asking to meet Mahathir and Mahathir would be happy to see them and tell them the truth. This is a rare opportunity that only the divine could help, in the removal of Najib, and allowing Mahathir to unravel the dark secrets of this disgusting and dreaded episode involving the lives of 293 innocent people on board. The MH370 saga happened in Najib’s watch and many things were kept under wrap. You can be very sure Najib knew many things about the disappearance of MH370, including what Abbott told him and how and why Abbott got to know in the distant corner of the world. Mahathir would have all this privilege information now and would be very pleased to tell Xi about it and about the wicked people behind it.
 

The other interesting saga is the assassination of Kim Jong Nam. The truth would be kept in the dark for a long time if Najib would still be in charge. It just so happened that Mahathir must come into the picture and to allow the truth to be told. Who killed Kim Jong Nam would now have a better chance to be unveiled. The two women involved would be made to tell the truth and spill the beans. The evil doers would no longer be able to hide under political patronage.
 

The invisible hand of the unknown is powerful. Man thinks they can do evil and go unpunished. In both cases, all the conspiracies would be no conspiracies any more. Mahathir would be greatly rewarded for telling the truth and both Malaysia and China would benefit greatly from this trip. Mahathir would not return empty handed like holding a basket of MOUs that are worth nothing. China would be generous and big projects and agreements would be signed, for sure more durians and other Malaysian produce would be heading to China and all the major projects in Malaysia would get Mahathir’s blessing.

All I can say is to wish Dr Mahathir a good fruitful trip. And that China-Malaysia relationship would scale new heights, without hypocrisy.

President Xi is laying out the red carpet for Dr M and giving him the VIP treatment. China is in the midst of a trade war with Uncle Sam and economics will be top on their agenda. Dr M will be wooed assiduously by China to become all-weather friends. China can use Malaysia's influence in ASEAN to help reduce tension in the South China Sea unlike Singapore which is pro-Uncle Sam.

Dr M knows very well that he cannot afford to offend Uas. On the surface, will show something achieved but nothing will be achieved.

Mathatir studied and learnt "The Art of War" by Tsu Tze or the Chinese Scholar OldDragon needed to correct me

He knows how ti feign-English, Alarak- Malay and Siam - Hokkien before he throws a fatal punch without you knowing.

Bananas only knows how to go forward and be knocked out like the Ang Mohs.

He kpkb that He be terminating all China's projects just to spite Najib. He just don't want to let people said that his predecessor is in the right direction for his country to progress by leaps and bounds. Wants Credits lah as any normal human beans.

He be home with billions worth of investments from China. Now the best chance not to play second fiddle to Singapore.

Singapore Now in the Black Book together with Taiwan under Xi's bed. There be just smiles when we meet but no business deals.

Mahatair is eyeing the Chinese billion yuan market for their ailing Cars manufacturers. They will still buy their cheaper cars for their lower income masses.

Now, they knew the Chow Ang Mohs only stirred shits so no trust in them. They also Muslim adek bros and they been persecuted by the whites for years.

China Do not persecuted the Muslims even their own.

So now the opportunity to kill two Canaries with one stone. Have one to support and build up their Economy and have them destroyed the Other economy.

Borrowwd knife to kill someone without dirtying your hands.

@ RB

Mahathir vs Xi

Not only will the truth be told, more truths will be revealed!

It takes a true player to out-fox Dr M. My money is on him. He's displayed (so far) his unswerving nationalistic to all things Malaysian. He dares to stand up to the US---despite childish "punitive measures" taken against Malaysian interests by the cabals of Washington---like singling out Malaysian students visas when they enter the US.

His "pechah lobang" about the attempted US "bribe" not to engage Xi"s China was straight out of the Mahathir-Machiavelli playbook: "we share a common 'enemy', so therefore..." [you can guess what probably happens next].

This is how Dr M plays such a marvellous game. He will drop a titbit here and there before a scheduled event, often non chalantly, as if it was an unnoteworthy passing comment. This results in "priming" human minds, causing them to use such data to make predictions---which is exactly Dr M's intention.

Xi and Dr M know that there are much bigger things at stake than the unsolvable mystery of MH370. That shit is OVER.

Familes are still grieving,and every MSM corporation derives lots of milage (ad revenue) from showing images and video of the victims family members screaming for "justice", with their cries of unimaginable pain. Fuck the MSM. The MSM never fail to captalise on human suffering. The more they "up the volume" on the MH saga, the greater the activity of conspiracy theorists. This makes more negative "news" which is excellent for MSM's revenue, despite causing more suffering to the grieving (already in a highly emotional and irrational state). Thus public interest in MH370 doesn't die. The MSM keeps on "winning" whilst people keep on suffering. It doesn't take a moral genius to see that this picture is fucking WRONG!

So we'll see what happens. Xi is 100% for China. Dr M is 100% for Malaysia. Dr M has recorded for posterity his discomfort with ETHNIC Chinese involvement in Malaysia's political-economy.

Mahathir is also on the record about his discontent with China's unilateral claim on disputed territory, what Dr M says "has always been islands belonging to us". It is a direct claim, delievered CLEARLY with no bullshit.

Yes, very interesting indeed.

Ⓜatilah $ingapura⚠️ said...

@ RB

RB's contention that MH370 will be "top of the agenda" just doesn't hold any water.

Mahathir is meeting with BUSINESSMEN before he meets with China's political elite. Jack Ma and the Geely car people appear to be more important. Money first, then politics to secure the money-deals, and make more govt-to-govt "projects".

The man has a plan! He's gotta be one of the world's sharpest old fellas alive today!

Go Dr M! You are a true Master of The Game!

//Singapore Harapan has no chance to win big in the next GE. The most may be Dr TCB win one single seat or GRC.//



Besides "Black Swans" events, there is another one which arguably is the "ELEPHANT" in the room, the "Golden Swan"?

Since more than a decade ago, many has predicted that China will "implode"...?

But till 2017, China still clocked a relatively high growth rate of 6.9% and eclipsed the US as the largest economy globally based on PPP computation since 2015.

Now, they are using trade war at the most critical moment just like what they did to the Jap in 1985 via the Plaza Accord to revalue the Yen by more than 30% overnight and caused the bubble that eventually sank the Jap economy in 1990. Till now, the Jap economy is still struggling in and out of ICU every few years and for now propped up via Abenomics three arrows?

China has not only not revalued their Yuan but recently let it fall by another couple of percentage points from 6.20+ to 6.80+ against one greenback?

The Jap was also forced in the 1980s by Ronald Reagan and his USTR to institute "VER" which stands for "Voluntary Export Restraint" which is not similar to the term used in what Virgo49 coined "Hai Kow Yew" that "he said will span several GE and generations." (Virgo49, 9.44am, 20 Aug 2018). [That one if not wrong from the headline news is coined "VERS" - Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme. Actually was quite confused by the term used cos they printed that VERS is for those flats reaching 70 years (and probably another 20 years from now) but 70 years old flat is quite old le why called "Early Redevelopment"? Also they said another scheme known as HIP 2 will kick in when flats also reach 70 years old like Mr Chua age next year? So there will be concurrently 2 schemes for Mr Chua to choose ... Oops ... Owners of flats 70-yo and they are spoilt for choice? But the caveat is must wait 20 years? Many oldies like what Virgo49 said previously would have sold "salted eggs" and handed in their "license"? So mb Team Harapan can also "sell" another version of Hai Kow Yew like perhaps "Hai Kow Yew Lite" version? No need wait 20 years cos the flats will likely be experiencing diminishing value when they passed 50-yo? Also if by 70-yo flats offered VERS, then what for spend another more than S$4 billion have HIP 2??? If 70-yo flats are going to be redeveloped under VERS, then what for spend billions on HIP 2 when the flats will be torn down (soon afterwards)? Does that not sound 矛盾? Contradictory? Mr Chua, do you understand what is 矛盾? And where did this term originated from? Mb some MSN readers may like to be enlightened ...? ]

Anyway, would like to wish Team Harapan well, all sinkies well ...

Back to this "Golden Swan". Now, Peter Navarro advising DT to whack "Made in China 2025" initiative hard by choking China's exports and imports?

The US will suffer but they posit that China will implode?

And considering that China's total trade exposure is only 40% of GDP vs the US 25%?

But a one-trick pony Botaknomics economy is exposed to international trade by 420%?

When the future will be so different from the past given present circumstances, what will ensure Botaknomics one-trick pony of reliance on continuous rising tide of globalisation and international trade will not suffer the reverse effect? The single hand of Botaknomics one-trick pony can cover the sky? Who the hell will know what would happen in 20 years time given present circumstances and the state the Botaknomics one-trick pony economy is in?

What is hapoening (aka wth is going on)?

Anyone?

Pls enlighten ...

Dr M returned empty-handed from his visits to Nippon and Indonesia. It's going to be 3rd time lucky for him. He is in a pole position to squeeze the best deals for Malaysia. China are expected to accord Malaysia "Most Favoured Nation" status. This will strengthen ties between the 2 countries. Dr M will not undo what Najib had done. He will just do some fine tuning or resetting so that China will continue to remain as Malaysia's most important benefactor.

Nothing is certain, according to Nicholas Nassim Taleb, the author of "The Black Swan - The Impact of the Highly Improbable".


AnonymousAugust 20, 2018 9:43 am
The Black Swan was published in 2007, during the eve of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and correctly predicted several chains of events?

Before "The Black Swan", he wrote another blockbuster that spent one of the longest on the best-seller list.

"Fooled by Randomness - The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets" was published in 2001.

According to Taleb, "luck" is often "disguised and perceived as nonluck".

Also, Taleb added, "randomness disguised and perceived as non-randomness (that is, determinism) ..."


老公鸡33August 20, 2018 10:23 am
"911", "Brexit", "Brexit+++" are major "black swans" that turned market predictions on its head, basing on Taleb's analysis.

Three years ago, who would have predicted with a 50% chance that there would be a trade war now.

According to Taleb's view, life in general involves large random factors and can spring nasty surprises like "Brexit+++" which would then have chains of events far from earlier "calculations" ...?

In his book, Taleb wrote: "Mathematics is principally a tool to meditate, rather than to compute".

According to Taleb, another more surreptitious and deceptive belief is that of "survivorship bias" and often magnified by a positive feedback loop, what Taleb called "bipolarity" effect.

@ 926, 943

Nice to know that there is at least one reader familiar with the work of Nicholas Nassim Taleb. Did you see him when he came to Singapore and spoke at National Library---at the time he was promoting "Antifragile"---his book about "robustness" of systems which benefit from Black Swans and "randomness". Ever the guy with a smart (arsed) comment, he gave his opinion on Singapore's education system, but in conclusion, he is a "fan" of Singapore...saying that Singapore is IDEAL.

To the uninitiated: NNT's book Fooled By Randomness is where the journey begins. It is an excellent primer on statistics and probability---much less to do with numbers, but more on the thinking processes which WRONGLY interpret chance and large data analysis...i.e. how randomness fools all of us, and that Black Swan events occur MORE FREQUENTLY that we think.

Errr...you can't calculate Black Swan Events---that's why they are Black Swans. Also, you don't know the extent to which the affected system is "Antifragile". Britain could do VERY WELL even if a Black Swan event hit it. We might discover that GB is Antifragile, and emerge stronger and have better fiscal and economic numbers. Who knows?

@ b

You need to update your data. Although it has fallen substantially over the "post mineral boom" years, the median price for a home in Perth is ~550k AUD. Today's price: SGD-AUD par. Two days ago: SGD 0.99 buys AUD 1. Don't worry, AUD is overpriced. AUD is a commodity-based currency. As long as commodity prices are "unloved", the AUD will be weak.

@ all

China will crash, and it will be BIG. But not apocalyptic because they have huge redundancies and as a culture are "Antifragile".

China is playing a long game, with high stakes for BIG wins...eventually becoming THE largest, most capitalised civilisation in history; hell-bent on "beating" the west and it's western systems of liberty and capitalism.

When you bet big money on big plans, you will have to take the occasional "haircut". China's stock markets frequently experience "corrections" with large devaluations. But they ALWAYS recover.

Like I said: ANTIFRAGILE.

//Mathatir studied and learnt "The Art of War" by Tsu Tze//


(Young) BRO Virgo49,

"Tsu Tze" could be Sun Tze disciple or son or grandchildren or even his SiFu but nvr hear before. No wonder Madhater so good can outflank all his opponents including najeeb. He may have learnt from Sun Tze's SiFu grandmaster aka the King of the Dark Alley backlane knucker duster?

With that, one hair-weight peesai led by a botak trying to outpunch its own weight one gazillion times may be in economic "peril" down the road?

Xi, with the help of his 2 old buddies - Wang Qi Shan (Vice President) and Liu He (Vice Premier), is determined to ctrl their own destiny?

So they will ensure Melaka Gateway with Madhater and this very competent Lim Ah Eng will be a roaring success when operational from 2019 onwards, exactly 2 centenials when Rarefast estalished a peesai outpost in the far east?

When next year Botaknomics very bz "bowing" to the queen and ex-colonial masters to celebrate rarefast landing 2 centennials ago, Madhater with Ah Eng and Xi's masterminding behind will officially launch Melaka Gateway and it could be the beginning of the end for the lairgirlsee of rarefast?

As a shipper, it could make more sense (& $) to dock at Melaka Gateway cos bulk of trade is with China anyway?

Now Pelapas and Klang add up already surpassed 50% of rarefast outpost? With opening of Melaka Gateway in 2019 (and likely relocation of Cosco), it is not if but when Matland becum King of shipping in S E Asia? What 30 or 35 million TEU per year? Matland may be clocking 70 million TEU per annum before even any VERS take place when they turned 70-yo flats?

As for //Borrowwd knife to kill someone without dirtying your hands.// aka "借刀杀人" (in the original Chinese words), this tactic originated from Sun Bing's "三十六计" who was another military strategist from that era albeit sharing the same surname "孙" 。。。

Incidently Sun Tze "孙子" in Chinese literally means grandchildren or grandchild.

So it is possible that Sun Zi or Sun Tze could be the grandson of "Tzu Tze" a fact that you mentioned in your opening sentence and opening paragraph of your comment @ 9.24am, 20 Aug 2018 but which may have eluded many historians and they may not have realised Sun Tze or Sun Zi (孙子) could be the grandson of Sun Bing or even the name you used (Tzu Tze)?

No wonder you was able to foresee the theme of "Hai Kow Yew" (even way before the actual event took place) and you are defintely (much) better than some others who "how lian" that he knows "insider info" from high places frens?

Indeed, it is very befitting to bestow you the title of "活神仙" 。。。 what Chinese geomancers quip those who are able to "未卜先知"!

Respect, Salute, 佩服佩服!

Henceforth, you (young BRO Virgo49) shall be the resident "活神仙" of MSN ...

Man, you'd be pushing it. See: https://www.realestate.com.au/buy/property-house-between-0-300000-in-perth/list-1?source=location-search . But OK, your argument is sound.

However in my experience not too many immigrants from Singapore would live far away just because they can get a cheap house. Singaporeans tend to immigrate carrying their CPF with them---which they get when relinquishing citizenship---plus whatever profits they made from selling their homes/ property in Singapore.

When my parents moved here for e.g. the bloody Mat Saleh bank manager came out at 1am in the morning to the airport to greet them. WOW! What an arse-kisser he was! 🤣 And my parents were definitely just "average Singaporeans", not wealthy, just "ok".

There are more units than there are houses listed above. And many of those old houses are made from weatherboard i.e. asbestos, which are expensive to renovate because you have to pay and pay like hell for SAFE asbestos removal (seeing as how that shit kills people---SILENTLY).

Anyway median price is exactly what it means: the MEDIAN PRICE for ALL properties listed for sale in the Perth area.

@ NNT fans and fellow travellers in the understanding of randomness, risk, and the hard job of trying to predict the future:

NNT didn't "predict" the 2008 GFC. Those who claim he did are falling to "Hindsight Bias" aka "The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy"---i.e. you just shoot at some wall, then you draw the target after you shoot, nice and neatly around the bullet holes and then claim "Bullseye! I'm such an accurate shot". 🤣

Unless I'm reading NNT incorrectly, my take on his philosophy is not to attempt to predict Black Swans, but to take the necessary steps to build robustness against them, because we know Black Swans will occur. Therefore the more "Antifragile" you can make yourself, your business, your cuntry, the better you can manage the adverse effects of Black Swans.

Singapore as a cuntry, IMO, is Antifragile. The population, generally speaking, are not. Those who are Antifragile will prevail the next Black Swan which hits our little rock. Thise who are not will have to rely on anhy "help" the govt offers after the collapse.

E.g Case: When the borders were opened up to foreign competition, many PMETs got their "Black Swan", and a large number were "Antifragile". So the govt stepped in with upgrade courses, job placements etc. to "help" them.

These days, in a very unpredictable world, I think one has to be as Antifragile as possible. The shit can and will happen when you least expect it. Even your plan B & C may not work. Thus being ROBUST might be the only viable option, and it must be implemented before The Black Swan happens

@

>> @MS >> Foreigners can only buy new lah. Check out those new houses, no asbestos. <<

Aiyoh bro, you didn't say lah. Yes, asbestos for houses is banned now. When you say "foreigners" depends what type lah. I am a foreigner, but I have perm residence, so I can buy whatever I like. BTW "new homes" also mean different things. Many of them have cheap cheap written all over. Stuff will break and leak after time. I know, I bought such a dog about 10 years ago after the GFC. KNN, cost me alot of stress, time and money to fix up.

If you're trying to make the case that overseas places like Perth is "better than" Singapore, there is also a case to make that Singapore is better than such places. Depends what you're trying to prove, and what your intentions are viz a viz your life, your future, your aspirations...and of course your world view.

Singaporeans who immigrate have their views and reasons. Those who choose to stay (and also do OK) also have their views and reasons.

Firstly, Lu Xun is lo(oooooooo)ng dead so even if he is lambasted, any sycophant can get away with it? (Even if that sycophant in his past posts used Lu Xun to support his arguments when it was in his convenience?) :)))

Next, some things or values are timeless? For example, whether Xi JinPing or Lu Xun, they probably won't think Ang Moh are TUA KEE and let Ang Moh tinkie enter their daughters' xxxxxxxx, tiok bor? What outdated? Talk nonsense? Do you dare to say Xi JinPing allows her daughter to xxxx with Ang Moh TUA KEE?

Banana is banana lah ... Whether Xi Jin Ping Thoughts or Lu Xun writings do not affect the same fact? Nothing to do with what ad hominem arguments about stucked in 60 year old thinking?

Yeah, Xi is now in power so need curry his balls, is it?

You think he is stupid and allow any shenigan or sycophant to go near him like some other light-weight decadent leaders?

Even if you get the chance to go near Xi and get hold of 30 mins of his time, if you can't communicate properly with him in Mandarin during that 30 mins, his view of you is still sama sama with Lu Xun, ie, you are a banana, an orang cina buka cina, an 二毛子 or 假洋鬼子? That is an unchanging fact until you dye your white flesh inside your yellow skin yellow again and able to write a complete essay all in Chinese?

At least old man in his 70s, 80s and 90s still bother to learn Chinese and Mandarin on a regular basis.

Some people not even reach 70 claimed 100% loyalty to Xi Jin Ping's Thoughts but his cina kena sai and dun even bother to like old man try to become more fluid in it goes to show banana will be banana forever and nothing will change this fact?

>>>>>>>> ....you very smart can also write Chinese lah. Maciam Cina Tok Tok Scholar! But no standard lah..... Don't show off lah. Want to show off your knowledge, not here lah. Wrong place to show off your half-baked scholar knowledge.....<<<<<<<<




Ha ha ha ha ha

You are just one pathetic soul ...?

Now, who claimed or when that Ai am a scholar, much less a China scholar? This is getting hilarious (& pathetic), isn't it? Mee is also a "bo tak chay" like any ah ter ah kow or ah gong who learned many things through the internet bit by bit ... No big toilet paper to frame and hang up the tall ceiling wall in a GCB ...

(Therefore no need to 替MEE"戴高帽"!!! It is NOT appreciated!!!)

Next, just commenting in MSN or blog is "to show off knowledge"?

What logic is that?

What is there to gain?

So Mr Chua Chin Leng aka Red Bean laid down what can or cannot be written (so that it will NOT be seen as show off?)

Also, cannot write in Chinese in MSN (otherwise, according to Anon 7.39pm it is "how lian", "show off"?) Was such a rule laid down that cannot comment in Chinese or write any word in Chinese (including Mr Chua Chin Leng aka Red Bean himself otherwise it can be construed as show off or "how lian" arbitrarily by some beans?)?

So yesterday when PM Lee spoke in Mandarin before his English speech also "show off lah or how lian" based on Anon 7.39pm (warped or 自卑) LOGIC?

So when WP MP Low Thia Kiang gives his speech in Mandarin in parliament also to "show off, how lian" lah according to Anon 7.39pm?

Likewise, SDP SG Dr Chee Soon Juan cannot speak in Mandarin or write in Chinese otherwise he could be seen as "how lian" or "show off"?

And talking about that how about Prof Tambyah who gives rally speeches in Mandarin? Also "show off, how lian"?

Anon 7.39pm, 20 Aug 2018, what is WRONG WITH YOU?

Readers must seek YOUR CONSENT in what language to write, what to write OTHERWISE it will be seen by some beans like you as "how lian, show off"?

So next time before Ai post a comment I need to wa or email to you for vetting or clearance (so that won't be maliciously being accused in whatever 罪名 you want to nail on)?

Like that firstly Anon 7.39pm, 20 Aug 2018, you need to post your hp number and email in MSN for readers to get your clearance lor ... Tiok bor?

What say you?

Who are you to decide what language to write, what to write, what to post to NOT being seen as "how lian, show off"?

Who would even bother to visit "MSN" in the future (much less post any comment) if based on ANON 7.39PM LOGIC?

Yew kongcum, mee no kongcum hor ...

Firstly, even (pay mee) US$ 1 Gazillion also no go lah ...

Secondly, this "dude" is either lao kokok &/ or karchng dunno how many countless colonies of bacterias ... IMHO, only siao ting tong would even consider ...

Having said that, pls go ahead and do what you want or like to do (cos u are an adult and not 3-yo and therefore answerable for yourself) ... And you can have/ keep all to yourself too.

Be careful though this dude could be ("a kee hand planted") IB and may have "slept with" dunno how many (Ang Moh Tua Kees which they are quite fond of given the open leg big big policies of laogoanomics and Botaknomics) and it was reported few mths back one FT Ang Moh masquarade as high level grad and taught in an IHL but diagnosed with HIV?

Otherwise, it is your choice and "O-T-O-T" ... Good luck and TC.


PS (The only thing that could be a bit on the downside is that MSN might have one less reader who is into the ideas expounded by NNT if sthg happened later on ...to your immune sys ...)

Btw, this will be the last post in MSN for a lo(oooooooo)ng time to come ... (MB forever) since some beans are of the view mee is in the wrong place, here to show off/ how lian or claimed to be a scholar which ai hv no idea since when such perception was formed in MSN. So, no more poems, no more chinese, no more peesainomics, no more "bantering" with OldDragon's affable acquaintance (young) BRO Virgo49. Till the seas dried, the stones rotted ... So lo(oooooo)ng BRO Virgo49 and all MSN readers who had to bear with mind "how lian, show off" comments as (maliciously) alleged by Anon 7.39pm, 20 Aug 2018. Anyway could be his intention and objective as a possible "IB" sent (& "planted") by kee-hand (in msn?), who knows?

The next thing (down the road) will be out of this peesai so thank you reader "B" for your postings about some "cheap" properties lobang in Aussieland and other cuntries ... How to tahan with the "bombardment of Hai Kow Yew day in day out" going forward ...?

Anon 7.39pm, u can have "MSN" all to yourself henceforth ... Your mission "accomplished"!!!

Soon you can have this "absurdity" (old man said one during a 1957 Legislative Assembly debate) to yourself and with all the 3rd world FTs imported ... Mee is looking for a huge breathing space like the almost 20 million sq km Russia, not an "absurdity" like a peesai ... No insult though cos was said by old man (in 1957), not mee!

Letter of His Holiness Pope Francis to Address Child Sex Abuse (in full)

To the People of God:

"If one member suffers, all suffer together with it" (1 Cor 12:26). These words of Saint Paul forcefully echo in my heart as I acknowledge once more the suffering endured by many minors due to sexual abuse, the abuse of power and the abuse of conscience perpetrated by a significant number of clerics and consecrated persons. Crimes that inflict deep wounds of pain and powerlessness, primarily among the victims, but also in their family members and in the larger community of believers and nonbelievers alike.

Looking back to the past, no effort to beg pardon and to seek to repair the harm done will ever be sufficient. Looking ahead to the future, no effort must be spared to create a culture able to prevent such situations from happening, but also to prevent the possibility of their being covered up and perpetuated. The pain of the victims and their families is also our pain, and so it is urgent that we once more reaffirm our commitment to ensure the protection of minors and of vulnerable adults.

1. If one member suffers…
In recent days, a report was made public which detailed the experiences of at least a thousand survivors, victims of sexual abuse, the abuse of power and of conscience at the hands of priests over a period of approximately seventy years. Even though it can be said that most of these cases belong to the past, nonetheless as time goes on we have come to know the pain of many of the victims. We have realized that these wounds never disappear and that they require us forcefully to condemn these atrocities and join forces in uprooting this culture of death; these wounds never go away.

(Continues from above)

The heart-wrenching pain of these victims, which cries out to heaven, was long ignored, kept quiet or silenced. But their outcry was more powerful than all the measures meant to silence it, or sought even to resolve it by decisions that increased its gravity by falling into complicity. The Lord heard that cry and once again showed us on which side he stands. Mary's song is not mistaken and continues quietly to echo throughout history. For the Lord remembers the promise he made to our fathers: "he has scattered the proud in their conceit; he has cast down the mighty from their thrones and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty" (Lk 1:51-53).

We feel shame when we realize that our style of life has denied, and continues to deny, the words we recite. With shame and repentance, we acknowledge as an ecclesial community that we were not where we should have been, that we did not act in a timely manner, realizing the magnitude and the gravity of the damage done to so many lives. We showed no care for the little ones; we abandoned them.

I make my own the words of the then Cardinal Ratzinger when, during the Way of the Cross composed for Good Friday 2005, he identified with the cry of pain of so many victims and exclaimed: "How much filth there is in the Church, and even among those who, in the priesthood, ought to belong entirely to [Christ]! How much pride, how much self-complacency! Christ's betrayal by his disciples, their unworthy reception of his body and blood, is certainly the greatest suffering endured by the Redeemer; it pierces his heart. We can only call to him from the depths of our hearts: Kyrie eleison - Lord, save us! (cf. Mt 8:25)" (Ninth Station).

2. …all suffer together with it

The extent and the gravity of all that has happened requires coming to grips with this reality in a comprehensive and communal way. While it is important and necessary on every journey of conversion to acknowledge the truth of what has happened, in itself this is not enough. Today we are challenged as the People of God to take on the pain of our brothers and sisters wounded in their flesh and in their spirit. If, in the past, the response was one of omission, today we want solidarity, in the deepest and most challenging sense, to become our way of forging present and future history.

And this in an environment where conflicts, tensions and above all the victims of every type of abuse can encounter an outstretched hand to protect them and rescue them from their pain (cf. Evangelii Gaudium, 228). Such solidarity demands that we in turn condemn whatever endangers the integrity of any person. A solidarity that summons us to fight all forms of corruption, especially spiritual corruption. The latter is "a comfortable and self-satisfied form of blindness. Everything then appears acceptable: deception, slander, egotism and other subtle forms of self-centeredness, for 'even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light' (2 Cor 11:14)" (Gaudete et Exsultate, 165). Saint Paul's exhortation to suffer with those who suffer is the best antidote against all our attempts to repeat the words of Cain: "Am I my brother's keeper?" (Gen 4:9).

I am conscious of the effort and work being carried out in various parts of the world to come up with the necessary means to ensure the safety and protection of the integrity of children and of vulnerable adults, as well as implementing zero tolerance and ways of making all those who perpetrate or cover up these crimes accountable. We have delayed in applying these actions and sanctions that are so necessary, yet I am confident that they will help to guarantee a greater culture of care in the present and future.

Together with those efforts, every one of the baptized should feel involved in the ecclesial and social change that we so greatly need. This change calls for a personal and communal conversion that makes us see things as the Lord does. For as Saint John Paul II liked to say: "If we have truly started out anew from the contemplation of Christ, we must learn to see him especially in the faces of those with whom he wished to be identified" (Novo Millennio Ineunte, 49). To see things as the Lord does, to be where the Lord wants us to be, to experience a conversion of heart in his presence. To do so, prayer and penance will help.

I invite the entire holy faithful People of God to a penitential exercise of prayer and fasting, following the Lord's command.[1] This can awaken our conscience and arouse our solidarity and commitment to a culture of care that says "never again" to every form of abuse.

It is impossible to think of a conversion of our activity as a Church that does not include the active participation of all the members of God's People. Indeed, whenever we have tried to replace, or silence, or ignore, or reduce the People of God to small elites, we end up creating communities, projects, theological approaches, spiritualities and structures without roots, without memory, without faces, without bodies and ultimately, without lives.[2]

This is clearly seen in a peculiar way of understanding the Church's authority, one common in many communities where sexual abuse and the abuse of power and conscience have occurred. Such is the case with clericalism, an approach that "not only nullifies the character of Christians, but also tends to diminish and undervalue the baptismal grace that the Holy Spirit has placed in the heart of our people".[3] Clericalism, whether fostered by priests themselves or by lay persons, leads to an excision in the ecclesial body that supports and helps to perpetuate many of the evils that we are condemning today. To say "no" to abuse is to say an emphatic "no" to all forms of clericalism.

It is always helpful to remember that "in salvation history, the Lord saved one people. We are never completely ourselves unless we belong to a people. That is why no-one is saved alone, as an isolated individual. Rather, God draws us to himself, taking into account the complex fabric of interpersonal relationships present in the human community. God wanted to enter into the life and history of a people" (Gaudete et Exsultate, 6). Consequently, the only way that we have to respond to this evil that has darkened so many lives is to experience it as a task regarding all of us as the People of God. This awareness of being part of a people and a shared history will enable us to acknowledge our past sins and mistakes with a penitential openness that can allow us to be renewed from within.

Without the active participation of all the Church's members, everything being done to uproot the culture of abuse in our communities will not be successful in generating the necessary dynamics for sound and realistic change. The penitential dimension of fasting and prayer will help us as God's People to come before the Lord and our wounded brothers and sisters as sinners imploring forgiveness and the grace of shame and conversion. In this way, we will come up with actions that can generate resources attuned to the Gospel. For "whenever we make the effort to return to the source and to recover the original freshness of the Gospel, new avenues arise, new paths of creativity open up, with different forms of expression, more eloquent signs and words with new meaning for today's world" (Evangelii Gaudium, 11).

It is essential that we, as a Church, be able to acknowledge and condemn, with sorrow and shame, the atrocities perpetrated by consecrated persons, clerics, and all those entrusted with the mission of watching over and caring for those most vulnerable. Let us beg forgiveness for our own sins and the sins of others. An awareness of sin helps us to acknowledge the errors, the crimes and the wounds caused in the past and allows us, in the present, to be more open and committed along a journey of renewed conversion.

Likewise, penance and prayer will help us to open our eyes and our hearts to other people's sufferings and to overcome the thirst for power and possessions that are so often the root of those evils. May fasting and prayer open our ears to the hushed pain felt by children, young people and the disabled. A fasting that can make us hunger and thirst for justice and impel us to walk in the truth, supporting all the judicial measures that may be necessary. A fasting that shakes us up and leads us to be committed in truth and charity with all men and women of good will, and with society in general, to combatting all forms of the abuse of power, sexual abuse and the abuse of conscience.

In this way, we can show clearly our calling to be "a sign and instrument of communion with God and of the unity of the entire human race" (Lumen Gentium, 1).

"If one member suffers, all suffer together with it", said Saint Paul. By an attitude of prayer and penance, we will become attuned as individuals and as a community to this exhortation, so that we may grow in the gift of compassion, in justice, prevention and reparation. Mary chose to stand at the foot of her Son's cross. She did so unhesitatingly, standing firmly by Jesus' side. In this way, she reveals the way she lived her entire life.

When we experience the desolation caused by these ecclesial wounds, we will do well, with Mary, "to insist more upon prayer", seeking to grow all the more in love and fidelity to the Church (SAINT IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA, Spiritual Exercises, 319). She, the first of the disciples, teaches all of us as disciples how we are to halt before the sufferings of the innocent, without excuses or cowardice. To look to Mary is to discover the model of a true follower of Christ.

May the Holy Spirit grant us the grace of conversion and the interior anointing needed to express before these crimes of abuse our compunction and our resolve courageously to combat them.

China-Malaysia Friendship To Scale New Height

BEIJING, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Premier Li Keqiang held talks with visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in Beijing on Monday, saying China will work with Malaysia to promote neighborly friendship to a new high.

With new governments established in the two countries this year, the development of bilateral relations was standing at a new starting point, Li said.

He said that China will follow the friendly policy towards Malaysia, and will work with Malaysia to score the long-term healthy development of bilateral ties on the basis of mutual respect, equality, and mutual benefit.

China and Malaysia have strong economic complementarity and great potential for cooperation. China is willing to better integrate the Belt and Road Initiative with Malaysia's development strategy, while promoting China-Malaysia industrial cooperation and construction of industrial parks, and strengthening cooperation in economy, trade, investment, agriculture, fisheries, and transportation infrastructure, said Li.

He said China will import more high-quality Malaysian products to cater to the needs of domestic consumers, improve the level of trade facilitation, and encourage strong and reputable companies of the two countries to expand two-way investment.

Li called on the two countries to provide a stable and sound business environment.

"China is willing to explore new cooperation with Malaysia in the fields such as science and technology innovation, automobile, finance, and e-commerce," said Li.

He also stressed the need to promote cultural exchanges, so as to lay a solid foundation of public support for cooperation.
