After the new govt came into power in Malaysia, Mahathir was seen
removing all the curbs on freedom of the press disguised as controlling
fake news and half truths. Malaysia is the new beacon of truth, not fake
news and half truths with lesser control of the media. Or is it because
of this freedom of speech or the media that more fake news and half
truths would be the talk of the town?
In thenewpaper I saw this article ‘Dr M: M’sians don’t want to work,
expect handouts’. As I read more of what Mahathir was saying I could
believe that these were the truths but more of half truths that bordered
on fake news. I will quote a few of his comments and see if you guys
can tell whether it is fake news or half truth, starting from the title
of the article above.
‘Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad warned that Malaysia would soon be
overtaken by its oorer neighbours because its people exect handouts
rather than to work hard.’ Truth or half truth?
‘In Malaysia, people don’t want to work because the govt gives them money.’ Truth or half truth?
The Malaysian govt decided not to ratify the International Convention on
the elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination(ICERD) ‘because
the govt was aware that the people did not agree with the ratification’.
Truth or half truth?
‘I deny that we made the decision to not ratify the ICERD because of
politics, or because we were worried that we would lose support in the
upcoming Rantau by election.’ Truth or half truth?
How many truths and half truths are there in the above quotes?
M’sian PM says his country will be overtaken by Vietnam soon. I must
agree that this is a truth, a few of the truth among the many half
truths he spoke. And here is another truth, ‘Even some of our own
(ruling coalition Pakatan Harapan) MPs were not in favour of it.’
Many govts like to blame social media and bloggers for telling fake news
and half truths. What about the half truths above, if any, that were
spoken by a PM? Does it mean that the govt can speak half truth and the
social media cannot?
All politicians cannot be trusted. Period.

Politicians are professional liars. Period.
ReplyDeleteDr M cannot be trusted completely. He is no paragon of virtue. It is a well-known fact that he favours the bumiputras over the non-bumiputras. It is the bumiputras who want handouts. It is the bumiputras who are anti-ICERD. Malaysian Chinese and Indians are ubiquitous in Singapore. Large numbers of them cross the Causeway to steal lunches. They do not wait for handouts. Dr M discriminates and is biased. His half-truths are more prevalent than truths. He ruled the country by obfuscation, a tactic to divide and rule. This wily old leopard still retain and cannot change his spots.
ReplyDeleteWat Mat Kor is saying r only half truth lah. Why? He knew he was the cos of it by creating the so called pumi-butts kind of thing. Now the Mats have tis entitlement kind of mindset. Mat Kor need not compare with the Viets he can compare with the nearby Burmese or Indons he wud realise that they r even more hard working than them. Mat Kor is not really worried bout Sinkieland cos he knew in yrs to come tis piece of tiny rock will be rotten & let it sinks or stinks by its own also noboli cares liow la..
ReplyDeleteMama Mahathir should be brunt
ReplyDeleteand courageous enough to say the Malaysian MALAYS and NOT other Malaysians.After all he is Mama Kutik.
They do not want to ratify as they wants the Majority MALAY Votes.
Any Parties wants to win their Elections Needed the Malay Supports.
So all present and previous governments moddle cuddled and spoilt them.
They can have gangs and rampages others races with immunity.
If they do not slaughyes a own chicken to frighten theur monkeys tHan their arrogance and lawlessness will never go away.

ReplyDeleteGovernments ban fake news because it interferes with their ongoing plans four misdirection and misinformation! 😎 Brilliant!
True or False? You be the judge.
1. Singapore's reserves are more than 2 trillion. (shhh... state secret. Official figures is ~600 billion)
2. Ho Ching's pay is around 30+ million (shhh... state secret)

Suspect the whales were affected by the irresponsible dumping of nuclear waste in the sea that affects their nervous system and they lost their senses. This is something that the guilty parties would not want to talk about.
ReplyDeleteDr M is still haunted by The Malay Dilemma. The inherent laziness, lower IQ, the lack of drive, initiative and spirit of the average bumiputras continued to drive him nuts. Non-bumiputras had performed better even though they received no handouts and that troubled him. He wants the bumiputras to get out of their comfort zone but it had been an uphill task. The fear of a political backlash by the bumiputras had stymied him. Dr M is resorting to the use of half-truths as part of his balancing act to please everybody. As time is not on his side, he is likely to end up pleasing nobody.
ReplyDeleteAnswer to Malaysia's problem is Education - Progressive Education, and Motivation. Incentives for those who are willing to work hard, not just any Bumi-butt-tras.
ReplyDeleteMahathir's education policy led to doctors that are not doctors, engineers not engineers, scientists not scientists, technicians not technicians, except on paper.

Mathathir should make history during his balance time before been laid to rest to rescind the Bumis Policy.
Take away their clutches and they will learn how to walk and run.
Then the Nation would prospered by leaps and bounds.
Leave to Anwar or whatsoever after him to convince the Bumis that they are also capable if they wanted to.
As time goes on the Bumis will slowly realise to trust other races.
Whoever runs the Government and they do not discrimated each other then they will jelled as True Malaysians. ONE MALAYSIA.
But please don't learn from Sinkieland PAP Or Pay And Pay.
As theis Bs Metro Crazy is only for their cronies and por lam pars.
Yet they can put on a straight face and proclaimed that we are closing inequality.
Cheers
Headhunting by Singapore is brain draining for Malaysia. Putucherry and Cow Boon Wan are fine examples.

Hello Anon 1.28
ReplyDeleteI had seen one very chek ark thirty plus tattoos guy washing dishes besides the Coffeeshop TB heights gents toilet.
He was hunched over washing all the Coffeeshop stalls dishes and utensils.
I was peeing at the Grandstand and one joker a coffee shop tenant purposely disturbed him by shouting his name.
Yew should have seen him jumped out of hits wits and started wiggling and hallucating incoherently.
I was shocked and asked that guy what's wrong with him.
He told me the he was once hauled in to drink not kopi but sai chwee.
There think he suspect in some minor crimes and when he came out became like this lah.
Poor thing they mjust have really drenched him a lot of kopi or saI chwee.
That's why thare is one Anon who kept harping about this limkopi.
He must be either with the Blancah Lim kopi gang is prison warden.
Out of concern maybe he is trying to ask us to go slow or else we bd like the poor coffee shop guy.
Anyway had also seen too many of these limkopi stuff when in Provost Unit.
Anyway karma will pay back these inhuman kopi fellas when time is right.
They be rewarded with more Lim kopi from the Hell Jade Emperor Cow and Horse MPs when their time come.
For theM now they take delights in torturing their fellomen.
Should Be not limkopi by the HELL emperor but burned with Fire and Fury and Lim Hell brinkstones.
ReplyDeleteWait for their times to be charged for theur sins.

No wonder Opposition cannot win. So many nonsensical comments here.
ReplyDeleteOpposition cannot win irrespective of whether comments are nonsensical or not.
ReplyDeleteNonsensical or not is a matter of mind - due to individual's perception, knowledge, interpretation and understanding. All these are in turn subjected to each individual's inborn and acquired cognitive biases.
A finger pointing outwards is always accompanied by the other three fingers pointing back to self and the thumb pointing downwards to Mother Earth.
Sweeping statements without substance are the gifts of the gaps of fools.
No Opposition can win when the time is not ripe, the place is peaceful and the people are not hungry.
No Opposition can win when incumbent has absolute power and absolute control across the board, wide and deep.
No Opposition can win when it does not have full support of the people - financially, morally and physically.
Oppositions can only win when they join force as One United People and think, speak and act as a better alternative Governing Body instead of as Opposition for Opposition! sake!
Those are the salient points for winning or losing.
Leaders in the whole world very li hai. Work as leaders very long. Learn a lot of skill. Give away all money. Work as cleaners for $1000. Apply the skills learn, be rich again. The world will be better place?
ReplyDeleteOr best. Find a cleaner that earn $1000. Use the skills learn as leader. Tell the cleaner what to do to be rich. Like those seminar that must pay money. Why must pay money ah?
I must go open seminar for rich people. Tell them they too rich, how to feel human. Must donate more money, do more good deed. What am I? Religion? Woo hoo. Is that how religion come about?

ReplyDeleteToday ST's Ah Chan best speech that touches my heart.
ReplyDeleteMust NOT grab everything for your
Selves.
Leave some for Others. Social Responsibity.
Think I better change my vote from Lim Tean to Ah Chan.
But after the Election how ah??
Will Ah Chan and Company stop their grabbings?
Were they leave something for their fellowmen?
We suppressed the truth. There is a Creator. There is right n wrong. There is good n evil. Weak men chose to act blur n ignore though their consience works on his heart. Evil men numbed their hearts n lied n lied n become hypocrites. Said one thing n do the others to their fellow men.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless everyone will still have to account before God. Death will surely come followed by judgment.
For those in power better think twice n be kind n not abuse their power. Why be so greedy?
