Dawn Raid: 'Dalam masa 4 jam, syarikat Guthrie kembali ke tangan Malaysia'

Peristiwa Dawn Raid atau Serangan Subuh merupakan satu peristiwa yang terpatri di dalam ingatan rakyat Malaysia apabila peristiwa tersebut merupakan usaha yang melibatkan tokoh-tokoh terkemuka termasuklah Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Tun Dr. Mahathir, Ismail dan Khalid Ibrahim. 

Dawn Raid merupakan serangan pasaran saham bagi mengambil alih syarikat Guthrie kepunyaan British. Ketika peristiwa ini berlaku, Tun M ketika itu baru sahaja memegang jawatan sebagai Perdana Menteri selama dua bulan.

AKU nak buat Thread pasal Dawn Raid. Cerita bagaimana kerajaan Malaysia di bawah pimpinan Tun M yang baru sahaja menjadi Perdana Menteri dalam masa dua bulan. Beliau mengambil alih syarikat perladangan terbesar kerajaan British pada 1981. Hanya dalam masa empat JAM!

Thread ini hanya sekadar perkongsian dan makluman kepada mereka yang mungkin menafikan bahawa Tun M takkan dapat memulihkan ekonomi Malaysia. No heart feeling please.

So, kalau kita nak kata bila semua ni bermula. Agak panjang cerita dia. Based on pembacaan aku, antara benda yang terlibat untuk membuatkan benda ni berlaku.

1. Pegangan harta korporat.

Melayu yang menjadi bangsa majoriti hanya memiliki 1.5% pembahagian harta korporat berbanding bangsa Cina (22.8%) dan british 60%.

2. Kritikan Tun M kepada Tunku Abdul Rahman atas peristiwa 13 Mei 1969.

Tun M marah kepada kerajaan kerana terlalu memberi muka kepada orang lain sehingga meminggirkan melayu.

3. Dasar Ekonomi Baru (DEB).

Dasar radikal yang diperkenalkan oleh Tun Abdul Razak (1970-1976) yang tak berapa nak menjadi. Syarikat-syarikat British lebih banyak menerima manfaat dan menambah aset walaupun dasar DEB diperkenalkan untuk membantu Melayu.

4. British tak nak jual aset kepada Negara dan melengah-lengahkan usaha kerjasama dan menolak usul kerajaan. 

British menindas pekebun kecil Melayu dan lain-lain. Walaupun Syarikat Guthrie-Ropel berjaya diwujudkan untuk tujuan melayu membeli tanah melalui BSKL. Guthrie hanya menyerahkan tanah yang buruk, tiada nilai dan tanah yang tidak boleh diusahakan.

5. Pendirian Tun M sebagai Anti penjajah.

Tun M merupakan PM pertama daripada tiga Perdana Menteri terdahulu yang tak merokok, tak minum, tak minat golf. Dia tidak menerima pendidikan British dan tidak berapa nak jaga hubungan dengan Inggeris. Dan well known sebagai orang yang membenci penjajah.

6. Pihak British menarik subsidi pelajar Malaysia yang belajar di Britian dan menaikkan yuran pembelajaran di Britian. Seramai 17,000 pelajar terkesan dengan kenaikan yuran ini. Kes ini membuatkan Tun M yang pada ketika Menteri Perdagangan memberikan amaran keras kepada pihak British.

“Hang buat sabaq sat nah, jangan dok buat cengey.” Ikutkan banyak lagi. Secara ringkasnya, walaupun kita merdeka daripada British, tapi mereka masih nak menggunakan Malaysia sebagai sumber pendapatan mereka. Ekonomi kita dikawal oleh mereka. Pekebun kecil Melayu ditindas. Tanah Malaya menjadi aset mereka dan kerajaan Malaysia diperkotak-katikkan sewenang-wenangnya.

Macam mana Dawn Raid ni terjadi? 

Operasi Dawn Raid ini diterajui oleh Dato Ismail Ali (DIA) pengerusi PNB ketika itu telah memaklumkan pada Tun M dan Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah (TRH) selaku Menteri Kewangan yang dia nak buat serangan hendap kepada kerajaan British. DIA telah menugaskan Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim (TSKI) yang bekerja sebagai pengurus pelaburan PNB masa itu untuk mengkaji dan meneliti sama ada Syarikat Guthrie boleh diambil alih melalui pasaran saham London.

TSKI bekerjasama dengan N.M Rothschild and Sons Ltd telah berjaya menemui cara bagaimana nak mengeksploitasikan bursa saham London. Tapi ada syaratnya. Syaratnya, serangan ini mestilah dilakukan serahsia yang mungkin dan sepantas yang boleh untuk mengelakkan daripada Syarikat Guthrie menyedari benda ni sedang berlaku.

Melalui persetujuan Tun M dengan modal sebanyak 282 juta pounds (masa tu) Operasi Dawn Raid ini pun dilakukan. Untuk kita faham benda ni secara mudah Syarikat Guthrie ketika itu mempunyai beberapa shareholder.

Genting Group.

Bank Simpanan Nasional.

Kuwait Investment Office

OCBC

PNB

Pelabur kecil ( orang luar/ bukan syarikat besar)

Dan syarikat yang akan memegang shareholder terbesar adalah PNB (di bawah pengurusan DIA). Tapi masa tu PNB hanya memiliki 15% sahaja daripada hak pemilikan. So nak jadikan PNB sebagai shareholder terbesar PNB mesti pegang 40-50%.

PNB lantik N.M Rothschild untuk beli saham Guthrie daripada pelabur besar (OCBC, Kuwait dan lain-lain) dan Rowe and Pittman untuk beli saham-saham kecil daripada pelabur luar. Ideanya di sini, PNB akan beli semua saham saham tadi ini secara serentak sebelum Bursa London dibuka dan mesti dibeli tanpa pihak Guthrie menyedari benda ini dah berlaku. Tahu-tahu saja saham semua tu dah jadi milik PNB.

Selepas semua dah bersedia, bermulalah segalanya. Serangan hendap ini berlaku pada 7 september pukul 9 pagi (pukul 4 petang waktu Malaysia). TSKI ditugaskan untuk menguruskan pembelian saham di Malaysia. DIA menguruskan pembelian saham di Singapura (Saham OCBC). Dan Rowe and Pittman uruskan pembelian saham di London.

Semasa proses pembelian saham ini, OCBC telah menolak untuk menjual saham Guthrie kepada PNB. Sebab dia aku tak tahu.

Selepas 4 jam operasi ini berjalan, PNB berjaya memiliki 8 juta saham (50.41%) dan secara rasminya menjadikan PNB sebagai shareholder terbesar syarikat Guthrie.

Oh ya, pembelian saham semua ini of course tak melalui Malaysia. TSKI masa itu kena buat satu akaun bank dekat Switzerland untuk pembayaran saham. Kalau guna akaun Malaysia confirm Guthrie tahu sahamnya dibeli oleh kerajaan Malaysia.

Kesan daripada Dawn Raid ini, Malaysia yang dulu diperlekehkan oleh kerajaan British dan negara-negara besar mula membuka pintu rundingan kepada Malaysia. Bursa Saham London terpaksa memperbaharui sistem dan undang-undangnya. Kerajaan Malaysia memegang aset-aset Guthrie di luar negara seperti di India, New Zealand dan Taiwan.

Shareholder besar Guthrie yang lain juga menjual kesemua sahamnya kepada Malaysia selepas tiga bulan operasi ini berjalan. Keuntungan yang menjadi hak milik Malaysia ketika itu melebih modal operasi yang dikeluarkan.

Ekonomi Malaysia meningkat, rizab negara meningkat, nasib pekebun kecil terbela dan menjadikan bukti bahawa Tun M bukanlah calang-calang orangnya. Aset negara yang dipegang oleh kerajaan besar ketika itu dalam diambil hanya melalui operasi selama  empat jam sahaja.

DAWN RAID: Filem mengenai bagaimana team Tun Mahathir menyerang saham Guthrie ketika fajar 7 September 1981. Lakonan oleh Shaheizy Sam sebagai Khalid Ibrahim. Akan datang ke pawagam. Filem diarahkan oleh Bront Palarae. pic.twitter.com/QRMyNHxGe1

And of course. The mind behind all of this. Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, bekas Menteri Selangor. Power namatey. By the way, akan ada movie hasil anak seni paling kacak malaysia iaitu Bront Palarae. Filem ini menceritakan pasal Dawn Raid ini dalam bentuk filem yang dilakonkan oleh Shaheizy Sam dan lain-lain pelakon mantap di Malaysia. Bila filem itu keluar, aku tak pasti.

Sumber: Sha @doubleashh

p/s: Menurut Bront, filem Dawn Raid akan ditayangkan pada hari kebangsaan kelak. Filem itu katanya lebih menonjolkan watak yang dilakonkan oleh Shaheizy Sam. Malah katanya, Tun Dr Mahathir sendiri mengakui Dawn Raid bukan perancangannya.

Over the past several weeks, much of Malaysia’s elite has been playing the game of ‘pusing’ (Malay for turnaround), or as one businessmen told me, learning to ‘gostan’ (Malay contraction of “go astern”). In popular usage, it means to reverse back. This is how it works: many in the Malaysian elite are now claiming to be closet supporters of Dr Mahathir and the Pakatan Harapan (PH, or alliance of hope) coalition. Some claimed to have secretly “sponsored” the campaigns of PH candidates.

In an infamous blog entry, Making Beeline to Curry Favour with Dr M, by one of Mahathir’s closest political allies, Abdul Kadir Jasin wrote: ‘Last evening I was invited for a berbuka puasa with the Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, at the Perdana Leadership Foundation (PLF) in Putrajaya… I saw many familiar faces – men and women – who during good and bad times had stuck with THE man… But I also saw many who had been absent from his berbuka puasa and other functions for quite a few years. I felt no sense of remorse when I greeted them with disdain… When Dr Mahathir was in power they celebrated him as if he was a ‘Tua Pek Kong’ (Chinese diety) and man of miracle. He was lavishly praised and even more lavishly feasted… But when he left office but yet continuing to care for the country, many of these people abandoned him for fear that supporting or just being seen with him would jeopardise their billion-dollar contracts, projects concessions, or subject them to the scrutiny of the Inland Revenue Board… The mere mention of Dr Mahathir caused them to cringe…Their hypocrisy and lack shame put me off. But still I accepted their handshake for the sake civility and common courtesy…”

While crony capitalism is found throughout Southeast Asia (yes, even in Singapore), in Malaysia the cronies never had to ‘pusing’ or ‘gostan’ at such a rapid pace. The assumption was that UMNO and Barisan Nasional (BN) would remain in power for the foreseeable future. Thus the 9 May outcome was akin to suffering the first heart attack.

Unlike the West, political hypocrisy and the practice of switching political support for personal gain in Malaysia is often regarded as simply ‘cari makan’ or earning a living. There is no political shame is ‘pusing’ if the ultimate aim is to ‘cari makan’. In other words, you do whatever is necessary to get the government contract, or better, to get into government. Former prime minister Najib Razak was fond of saying that his political philosophy is ‘Cash is king’. During Najib’s era, ‘dedak’ was the common term used to describe the use of bribes to buy political support.

The culture of ‘cari makan’ had such an omnipresence in Malaysian politics that almost all the tycoons you see today in Malaysia are linked either to Mahathir or Najib. It was an open secret which tycoon was linked to each leader, such that the stock market in Malaysia had ‘political counters’, where certain companies were owned by these tycoons. It is not uncommon for the shares of these companies to move according to the latest rumour regarding the tycoon’s relationship status with the incumbent PM.

Those who came up in the 1980s and 1990s were handpicked by Mahathir and former finance minister and now chair of the Council of Eminent Persons Daim Zainuddin. In the past decade, another group of tycoons came up under the patronage of Najib. It was taken for granted that you could not become a business tycoon overnight in Malaysia without connections to the incumbent PM.

‘Pusing’ and ‘cari makan’ politics is most acute in the Malaysian state of Sabah. Not only is it done openly at every elections, it is celebrated with a local word ‘katak’ (or political frog), which essentially describes what happens as entire political parties and just-elected individuals move to the winning side on elections night. For political parties, it’s mostly about getting into government. For individuals, it can mean a sudden cash windfall. Sometimes, you can even ‘katak’ twice or more for such gains.

The most recent example of this was on the night of GE14, when it became clear that Parti Warisan were in a position to form a new state government – United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO), a BN-component party, announced it was defecting to Warisan to give it a clear majority to form the next state government. Two days later, four Sabah UMNO state assemblymen defected as well, giving Parti Warisan a clear majority in the state assembly.

In neighbouring Sarawak, two just-elected MPs joined the PH coalition once it was clear PH had formed the federal government. The sole MP from the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) tried but failed to defect to PH.

Across the sea, Malaya is fast catching up on ‘katak’ politics. Within a few days of PH’s victory, five BN state assemblymen defected to PH, giving the Johor and Perak PH state governments their majorities. More would actually like to defectbut they cannot do so now because of the raw feelings generated in the recent campaign. It’s likely when things calm down, more elected BN representatives will move to PH.

While many would see these moves as opportunistic, many of those defecting justify it on the grounds that under the present political system, they can only resolve their constituency issues if they are part of the ruling coalition.

When BN was in power, individual BN MPs were given between RM1 to RM5 million ($337,000 to $1.69 million) to spend on their constituencies. Opposition MPs got zero funding. These funds are spent on any events or projects approved by the MP without the need for another layer of official approval. BN MPs would normally use this slush fund for small projects or events to increase their personal support among their constituents. Opposition MPs see the funds as nothing more than blatant vote buying.

The new PH government has continued the practice but with a slight modification. PH MPs will get RM500,000 ($169,000) while Opposition MPs will get RM100,000, or a fifth of what a government MP gets.

Over the next year, expect more UMNO businessmen and opposition politicians to move into the PH camp, all claiming to be closet supporters of PH. The ‘cari makan’ political culture may be the hardest thing to reform in Malaysia – I would say it’s impossible, even under a reformist PH government. It is, at the end of the day, human nature.

[huu0]

Fair enough, the PM we had were never really all that great tbh, like Razak was pretty cool with most things, but then there's mfs like Mahathir that basically tried to exclude the Chinese and Indians from special privileges that the majority bumiputera population. Plus Lee Kwan Yew was based and Rahman was a moron for kicking Singapore out.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Malaya being the most developed colony (outside of the dominions) with Singapore then becoming the richest country in the region, not to mention them being seated in the straits that connects East Asia to the rest of the world also contributed to them being so powerful.

Though I'd like to say that the early Chinese dynasties had their capital in Luoyang and Chang'an (Xian in the future) since the north was less populated at the time, and the south was even more sparce. And it was only until the fifteenth century when the capital was moved to Beijing and Nanjing when the empire was split in two, and Beijing remaining as the capital as for most of the time as it was more strategic than Nanjing.

But yeah we can all agree that this map doesn't make any sense whatsoever

If You Mean Savages Then Just Say So

Whenever I heard the term Global South, I assumed it meant south of either the Equator of of the Mediterranean.

Nope.  Global North includes Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korean, (but not North Korean), Hong Kong, and Singapore, (but not the rest of Malaysia).

It does not include Mongolia.

The golden oil – palm oil tour and talks

Hi guys this is Johnson for johnsonmalaysia.com. Palm oil tour and talks.  Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Mahathir is a great supporter of palm oil industry.  Malaysia in the pass, 102 years has come very long way. I  have guided many overseas delegates to plan oil plantation, processing plant, product, process more on sustainability. As of today  a group of Japanese delegates. (Japanese Oil and Fat Asso)

Archipelago

Palm oil (Elaeis guineensis) It comes from West Africa. Four seedlings were planted in  Bogor botanical park Java in mid 1800s. From there the species were introduced to other parts of the Indonesia like Sumatera. The near proximity made the Sumatran to  introduce in Malaya in the first decade of 1900s.

Ornamental tree

The palm oil when it was introduced to Malaya it was only an ornamental tree in the eyes of the British. We can see in vintage photos planted along the Independent square (book an old KL walk with Johnson http://johnsonmalaysia.com/the-heart-of-kuala-lumpur-walking-tour-3-5hrs-with-local-tour-guide/). No British  colonial master  knew about this golden oil. They looked at the beauty but not at its fruits. They may thought it was for the squirrels, birds and rodents.

French connection

It took the French connection, Henri Fauconnier, an entrepreneur to establish its first palm plantation in Malaya in 1917 at the Tennamaram Estate (a  Tamil word meaning coconut tree), Batang Berjuntai, Selangor. These estates were the forefront of the Malaysian palm oil industry.

The growth

For the period of more than a century, the palm industry has grown from plantation to processing, production, products and exports that have contributed to National economy. Not forgetting high nutrients in red palm oil A& E.

The delegates followed Johnson from Africa, Japan and many countries around the globe are amazed with  Malaysia’s Achievement.

We did not neglect sustainability and best practices. If you need a palm oil tour and talk to companies or students, please contact Johnsonmalaysia.com, JohnsonMalasia Team Building http://johnsonmalaysia.com/amazing-race-in-tropical-rain-forest/

The Return of a New MALAYA According To MAHATHIR?

Fallen PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad in a long missive on social media today says the Proclamation of the Malays wants the return to Malaya. Not Usurping Rights? “The Proclamation of the Malays does not intend to usurp the rights and property of others. The Proclamation party only wants to get justice – that is, the recognition of this peninsula as Malaya, accepting immigrants and their descendants as…

[southeastasianists]

With Malaysia’s 14th general elections (GE14) set to be held in the next six weeks, one issue not widely discussed enough is the role played by the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. Unlike other states, Sabah and Sarawak are physically located in Borneo, far away from Putrajaya. These two states have a very different history, demography and social history from the other 11 states in the Malay Peninsula, or Malaya.

Politically both states were unimportant to ruling Barisan Nasional’s (BN) leadership as voters in both states regularly voted for the BN. In every general election since the 1990s, BN won more than 70 per cent of the parliamentary seats in Sabah and Sarawak. The results were so predictable that the ruling party regularly referred to both states as BN’s “fixed deposits”.

There are 222-seats in the Malaysian parliament and the magic figure is 112. In the 2008 elections, when BN won 140 to the opposition’s 82 seats, Sabah and Sarawak contributed 55 of the 140 BN MPs. In the 2013 elections, the BN won 133 to the opposition’s 89 seats. This time Sabah and Sarawak contributed 47 BN MPs. In other words, the UMNO-led BN government would have lost power without the MPs from Sabah and Sarawak.

UMNO soon realised that without support from East Malaysia’s BN, they would be out of power.

THE BIGGEST POLITICAL issue by far in Sabah and Sarawak is the Malaysia Agreement, commonly referred to as MA63. This was the agreement signed by the founding states of Malaya, Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak, which led to the formation of the Malaysian Federation in 1963. Hence many Sabahans and Sarawakians are of the opinion that Malaya, Sabah, and Sarawak (and Singapore before its expulsion from Malaysia in 1965) were the original founders of the Federation.

They feel that Sabah and Sarawak should not be merely treated as one of the 13 states in the Malaysian Federation but as two of the three founding entities. This distinction is important for Sabah and Sarawak nationalists as they argue that both states should enjoy more autonomy from the federal government in Putrajaya.

In the negotiations leading up to the formation of the federation, North Borneo (as Sabah was then called) and Sarawak were given special autonomy in areas like Islam, immigration, local government issues, education and language, and the composition of the civil service (collectively called the “Twenty Points”). Today, the majority of the population in Sabah and Sarawak think, other than immigration, powers are concentrated in Putrajaya. Mahathir was the chief architect of this concentration of powers in the federal government.

Since 2008, with the power equation in the BN shifting to Borneo, politicians in Sabah and Sarawak have been calling on Putrajaya to return all the powers that were agreed upon in 1963. These nationalists’ movements come in all shades, including many who are openly calling on both states to secede from Malaysiaand declare independence.

When Najib Tun Razak became prime minster in 2009, he understood the political danger immediately. He appointed a record number of ministers from Sabah and Sarawak, and gave the Speaker’s position in the Malaysian Parliament to a Sabahan. He even added an additional public holiday called Malaysia Day on 16 September. Previously Independence Day was celebrated on 31 August, the date Malaya became independent, rather than 16 September when the federation officially came into being.

After the 2013 elections, Najib poured even more money into Sabah and Sarawak. He announced the go-ahead for the Pan-Borneo Highway, a highway linking Kuching all the way to Tawau in Sabah via Brunei. Sabahans and Sarawakians have been asking for such a highway since the 1970s. He also gave a “special allocation” of one billion ringgit (A$340m) each to both states.

On top of that, Najib agreed to establish a cabinet-level committee on the devolution of powers back to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Although the work of the committee was completed at the end of last year, Najib has so far kept silent about the results. He is widely expected to announce some major concessions to Sabah and Sarawak during the upcoming GE14 campaign to help the BN parties in Sabah and Sarawak. The BN in Sabah and Sarawak have repackaged themselves as Borneo Nationalists since 2008, arguing that they are the only ones who can bring back autonomy. The irony of course is the fact that it was the same BN governments in Sabah and Sarawak which allowed Mahathir to take away their powers in the 1980s and the 1990s.

IF NAJIB WINS big in the peninsula – in the region of 100 or more seats – with the addition of the seats from Sabah and Sarawak, BN will have a total of more than 140 seats. Under this scenario, Najib will no longer be dependent on the BN from Sabah and Sarawak to stay in power. He will thus likely slow down any moves to devolve powers back to Sabah and Sarawak, and redirect resources promised to Sabah and Sarawak back to Malaya to reward his Malay base.

All this will be done quietly behind the scenes. He will maintain his rhetoric on recognising the special position of Sabah and Sarawak in the federation. But realpolitik dictates that he must reward the Malay ground that supported him in Malaya.

This will, of course, lead to more unhappiness in Sabah and Sarawak. It will strengthen the hand of the nationalists. Thus far, other than Dr Jeffrey Kitingan from Sabah, candidates from hardline state nationalist parties have all lost badly, often losing their deposits. The big problem here is that the mainstream parties – both the BN and PH coalitions in Sabah and Sarawak – have adopted many state nationalism mantras, leaving little or no political space for the hardline state nationalists such as Sabah’s Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Homeland Solidarity Party) or Sarawak’s State Reform Party (STAR).

But no matter the outcome of GE14, the nascent nationalists’ movements in Sabah and Sarawak will endure. The people of both states know they were treated badly and marginalised by the federal government for the first 46 years of the federation. The social media age has allowed them to spread their message widely and they will remain a permanent feature of politics in Sabah and Sarawak going forward, no matter who is in power.

Quo vadis Azmin Ali...

Quo vadis Azmin Ali....

“Azmin ini party loyalist,” ujar seorang teman, antara ramai lagi teman yang mengulang kenyataan yang serupa. “Hang gila ka dia nak keluar parti?” soalnya kemudian, menegaskan bahawa Azmin sudah jadi orang nombor dua dalam PKR. Mana mungkin beliau mencabar Anwar Ibrahim; batang tubuh yang menjadi roh dan jasad parti itu. 23 April, genap dua bulan Azmin dan rakan-rakannya membuat keputusan keluar dari parti Anwar. Pengumuman keluar mungkin dibuat pada 24 Februari, tetapi sambil makan malam bersama Umno dan PAS di Sheraton itu, keputusannya pasti sudah dicapai. Menariknya, rakan-rakan Azmin ini bukan cicak mengkarung dalam rangkaian Anwar. Seperti juga Azmin, si “pemegang diari merah” mantan timbalan perdana menteri, gerombolan yang mengikut beliau meninggalkan parti juga boleh tahan “Anwarist”. Namun begitulah hakikatnya, bagaimana tiada kawan dan lawan yang kekal dalam politik. Seperti yang diulang sebut mendiang Karpal Singh. Apa yang kekal adalah prinsip. Itu pun kalau ada prinsip. Bagi kebanyakan orang yang menyertai pergulatan politik, prinsip adalah barang kudapan cita-cita utama untuk memperoleh pengaruh dan kekuasaan. Pengaruh dan kekuasaan itu pula digunakan untuk mendapatkan duit. Dan duit itu pula digunakan untuk mendapatkan lebih banyak pengaruh dan kuasa. Inilah dia apa yang dipanggil “realpolitik”.

Realpolitik itulah yang menyebabkan kuasa tiba-tiba beralih kembali ke tangan-tangan kotor Umno dan rakan-rakannya; tanpa perlu menang sebarang pilihan raya. Tetapi takkanlah setakat itu saja hasilnya untuk seorang Azmin? Dalam dua wawancara saya bersama beliau, Azmin tidak pernah menyatakan sebarang keinginan untuk menjadi perdana menteri. Kali pertama, Azmin bercerita panjang tentang kisah zaman remajanya menternak kambing dan ayam; sebelum sambung belajar ke Amerika, dan pulang ke tanah air untuk bekerja dengan Anwar. Kali kedua, wawancara setelah menjadi menteri besar Selangor. Pun tidak ada sebut mahu jadi PM. Walaupun saya tanya terus terang saja. Meski tidak pernah menyebut dengan jelas, kita semua tahu Azmin akhirnya bukan saja tidak mahu Anwar menjadi perdana menteri. Tetapi menurutnya yang paling layak mengambil alih jawatan PM itu, adalah beliau sendiri. Sejak bertanding timbalan presiden parti pada 2010, sehinggalah bergerak mengguling Khalid Ibrahim, dan akhirnya menghalang Anwar daripada menjadi PM, itulah dia objektif utama. Mungkin melampau kalau kita katakan Azmin melihat Muhyiddin Yassin sepertimana orang mendakwa Anwar melihat Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail – sebagai sekadar pemanas kerusi. Tetapi itulah hakikatnya. Kan?

Dilema Muhyiddin Pengarah Pendidikan Politik DAP Liew Chin Tong menulis panjang hujung minggu lalu tentang dilema Muhyiddin, pasca krisis Covid-19. Kerajaan Muhyiddin sebenarnya ditopang dengan majoriti sekadar dua atau tiga kerusi. Ertinya di Parlimen, sebarang urusan dan usul kerajaan cenderung gagal dengan hanya kekurangan beberapa undi. Dalam fabrik gabungan yang begitu demikian longgar; tanpa struktur parti, tanpa satu dasar bersama, tanpa titik temu yang sekata, Muhyiddin “dipegang telurnya” (maaf tiada bahasa yang lebih sesuai) oleh setiap seorang yang menyokongnya menjadi perdana menteri. Kalau tidak puas hati, atau ada tuntutan yang tidak didengari, picit saja. Umno contohnya, beberapa hari lalu dengan selamba mengutus surat dengan senarai tuntutan untuk saki baki pimpinannya di Sabah, tanpa rasa segan silu. Muhyiddin akan harus melayan dan pastinya nanti memenuhi permintaan itu. Ini belum dicampur masalah ekonomi dan peluang pekerjaan yang bakal merundung negara sebaik saja PKP berakhir, serta masalah sumber pendapatan negara akibat kejatuhan harga minyak dunia. Beban yang ditanggung Muhyiddin memang besar gedabak. Tetapi kalau Azmin mahu jadi perdana menteri menggantikan Muhyiddin, maka Azmin harus bertanya dirinya sendiri sama ada beliau bersedia untuk memikulnya.

Jalan menuju kerusi PM Untuk menjadi PM, Azmin yang kini ahli parti Bersatu pastinya akan perlu terlebih dulu naik menggantikan presiden parti itu, iaitu Muhyiddin. Maka jalan yang lebih mudah pastinya dengan menubuhkan parti sendiri. Parti itu pula mestilah membawa idea “muafakat agung”, idea perpaduan nasional yang secara ironinya kini diusung sebuah gabungan yang berpaut kepada sentimen Melayu-Islam dengan memomokkan DAP. Seperti biasa, analisis pasaran dilakukan terlebih dulu dengan mengajukan idea ini melalui pertubuhan seperti Pemuda Negara yang menampilkan wajah pegawai-pegawai Azmin dan logo bulan bintang seperti yang turut tertera di laman Wikipedia Perikatan Nasional. Apa yang sedikit lucu ialah bagaimana idea ini cuba dibungkus dengan menggunakan Dato’ Onn sebagai jenama besar, justeru mencetuskan cakap-cakap dalam kalangan wartawan tentang bagaimana Azmin akan menubuhkan Parti Negara, sepertimana Dato’ Onn juga. Dato’ Onn tidak berakhir menjadi perdana menteri. Beliau hanya pernah menjadi menteri besar Johor atas lantikan Sultan, sepertimana arwah bapanya yang merupakan MB Johor pertama, serta dua adik beradiknya yang turut dilantik sebagai MB ketika demokrasi masih belum wujud di Tanah Melayu.

Jawatan itu ditinggalkannya setelah menubuhkan Umno, yang kemudiannya turut beliau tinggalkan dan selepas itu menubuhkan Parti Malaya Merdeka, sebuah parti yang ditubuhkan sebagai lawan idea ketuanan Melayu yang dijuarai Umno. Parti Malaya Merdeka pun bungkus juga setelah dilihat tidak berjaya mendapat sokongan ramai. Parti itu hanya didekati kaum India. Dato’ Onn akhirnya menubuhkan Parti Negara pada 1953, sebuah parti politik yang prinsipnya bertentangan langsung dengan Parti Malaya Merdeka yang ditubuhkannya sebelum itu. Atas tiket Parti Negara inilah Dato’ Onn akhirnya berjaya menjadi Ahli Parlimen setelah menang dalam pilihan raya 1959, jauh di kerusi Kuala Terengganu Selatan. Malah ada juga yang menyebut Dato’ Onn akhirnya menyertai PAS sebelum meninggal dunia tiga tahun kemudian. Parti Negara turut hilang bersama Dato’ Onn. Justeru bagi Azmin, pilihan di tangan tidak begitu banyak. Ruang di depan semakin sempit. Beliau pastinya tahu Umno tidak akan begitu mudah memberi laluan, begitu juga PAS yang tidak kalah berdendam. Bersatu apatah lagi. Maka ke mana Azmin Ali akan pergi? – Roketkini.com

"Percayalah saudara, " Kita menyokong UMNO bukan kerana nama dia UMNO. Kita menyokong UMNO kerana dia memperjuangkan Melayu, dasar partinya Melayu walaupun tidak sokong hudud. Kita menentang PH bukan kerana namanya PH, kita menentang PH kerana partinya berbilang kaum dan PH menangkap pemimpin Melayu Islam yang rasuah. Oleh kerana PH mengekalkan dasar menentang rasuah, oleh itu kita menentangnya. Oleh kerana kita melawan puak2 ini, maka perjuangan kita adalah jihad. Ucapan kita adalah jihad.

The Ketuanan Melayu Agenda...

May 9th will mark two years since Pakatan Harapan (PH), against all odds, swept to victory. A party that did not expect to lose was swept from power by a coalition that didn’t think it could win. What giddy days they were! To say we were jubilant would be an understatement. The excited crowds outside the gates of Istana Negara waiting for Dr Mahathir Mohamad to be sworn in as prime minister will forever be etched in the memories of those who were there.  It made all the years of effort – including risking arrests to attend those Bersih rallies, training as election monitors and campaign workers, and going out of our way to vote – worth the while. Together, we took back the government from the hands of unscrupulous, immoral and corrupt politicians. For one moment in time, we were united by a shared hope that at last Malaysia would be able to embrace its destiny as a united, prosperous and democratic nation. Not since Merdeka had there been such a national outpouring of pride, hope and excitement. But it was not to be; our brief tryst with spring ended as abruptly as it began. Many factors, no doubt, contributed to the fall of the PH government; certainly, the bitter rivalry between Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim dominated much of the news. Ultimately, however, it was the race factor more than anything else that proved destructive. Ketuanan Melayu ideologues from across the political spectrum – PPBM, UMNO, PKR and PAS – felt deeply threatened by the prospect of having to share power, even minimally, with the non-Malays. Unsurprisingly, the DAP which surged to new heights following GE14 quickly became the “Great Satan,” the embodiment of an existential threat to the Malays. If the whole concept of power-sharing was to be aborted, the DAP had to be discredited and removed from government. It is no secret that since May 1969, we’ve always had a multiracial government in name only; absolute power remained in the hands of UMNO which ruled primarily on behalf of one community. MCA, MIC and Gerakan were never more than bit players, they simply to lend credence to the lie that multiracial politics and national unity were alive and well.  It allowed UMNO, masquerading as Barisan Nasional, to rule as a multiracial government while pursuing an essentially race-based agenda.

GE14 upended that construct. The bitter, very personal battle between Mahathir and Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak divided Ketuanan Melayu ideologues along with much of the Malay polity. So bitter was the feud with Najib that Mahathir, the architect of the Ketuanan Melayu agenda, was even willing to find common cause with the DAP and his other bitter rival (Anwar) to bring down Najib. Malay disunity – as Mahathir himself later claimed – allowed the non-Malays to win a record number of seats in parliament. It still left the Malays in an unassailable position given their majority in parliament, the civil service, the armed forces and police and in almost every other area of national life, but it did bring a more balanced representation to parliament at least. While many considered it a positive development, Ketuanan Melayu ideologues, long accustomed to seeing politics as a zero-sum game, saw the outcome of GE14 as a disastrous setback. To them the very idea of power-sharing was unacceptable, a direct challenge to the Ketuanan Melayu agenda and all it stood for. Consequently, while both Malay and non-Malay progressives and reformists celebrated, Ketuanan Melayu ideologues fumed. The former talked about democracy, transparency and accountability; Ketuanan Melayu ideologues complained about the loss of face, the threat to race, religion and culture. Reformists wanted to press ahead quickly with “reformasi”; Ketuanan Melayu ideologues wanted to hold on to the essentially authoritarian political structures that they had put in place since 1969.  Reformists wanted a fair distribution of wealth; Ketuanan Melayu elites wanted to maintain the system of crony capitalism that allowed them to exploit the wealth of the nation at will. Progressives yearned for a more open, tolerant and inclusive culture; Ketuanan Melayu ideologues would have none of it. The rejection of power-sharing was clearly evident in Malay political discourse post-GE14.   Incendiary statements like “Malaysia is for Malays”, non-Muslims ought not to be given senior positions in government, Malay rights and culture were being undermined, the position of the Malay rulers was being challenged, non-Malays were disrespecting the Malays, were aggressively thrown into the narrative.  At the same time, non-existent threats from Communists, Christians and Tamil Tigers were deliberately played up to give the impression that the nation was facing a dire and imminent threat to its very existence. Reality didn’t matter; the objective was to manufacture a crisis of confidence in the PH government. The underlying message was clear: the Malay community alone had the exclusive, God-ordained right to rule Malaysia. “Immigrant” communities – the pendatang – could remain for so long as they did not challenge Malay rule or even aspire to be equal partners in the governance of the nation. 

It was not a novel idea. In his seminal treatise The Malay Dilemma written almost 50 years ago, Mahathir opined that “Malays are the rightful owners of Malaya, and that if citizenship is conferred on races other than the Malays, it is because the Malays consent to this. This consent is conditional.” Such a view was, fundamentally, a complete repudiation of the Merdeka agreement which envisaged shared citizenship and joint responsibility for the governance of the nation within a secular, democratic and constitutional framework. Ketuanan Melayu ideologues had long complained, albeit erroneously, that the British had done the Malays a great disservice when it forced them to accept non-Malay citizenship and participation in the political process in exchange for independence. When they saw an opportunity to correct what was in their mind a historic injustice, they jumped at it. As pressure grew for Anwar to take over from Mahathir (as per the PH succession plan), Ketuanan Melayu ideologues – united by their common disdain for sharing power with non-Malays – were galvanised into action. To them Anwar was unacceptable because, as Mahathir himself complained, he was not sufficiently committed to the Ketuanan Melayu agenda. His leadership of a multiracial coalition, his constant calls for unity, tolerance and inclusiveness was a bridge too far for the right-wing members of his own community. Mahathir himself had, of course, been plotting and planning for months to create a more Malay-centric government both to advance his Ketuanan Melayu agenda as well as to stymie Anwar (whom he personally loathed). His plan was to entice UMNO and PAS parliamentarians (sans some of their leaders) to join his own stable of parliamentarians to form a new Malay unity government.  What he didn’t count on was that Muhyiddin, who did not share his scruples about tainted UMNO leaders, would beat him to it. Whatever it is, the end result was a seismic political shift no less significant than May 13th. The ‘Sheraton Move’ effectively nullified the results of GE14, disenfranchised the non-Malay vote, curtailed power-sharing with non-Malays and re-established absolute Malay hegemony. The Malaysian spring, along with the reformasi agenda, is now over. Will a harsh winter follow? - Dennis Ignatius

Kerajaan sedia lancar kereta nasional 3.0 menjelang 2020 | Warta Malaya

KUALA LUMPUR: Kerajaan bersedia melancarkan projek kereta nasional 3.0 menjelang 2020 sebagaimana dibayangkan Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

Menteri Pembangunan Usahawan, Mohd Redzuan Yusof berkata kerajaan sekarang percaya bahawa langkah itu akan mencergaskan kembali industri automotif negara.

“Kami mencuba untuk mencergaskan dan mengembangkan industri ini memandangkan potensinya yang besar, Selain itu, pengeluar komponen kenderaan juga adalah antara sektor yang memacu perusahaan kecil dan sederhana (PKS),” katanya ketika ditemui pemberita pada Majlis Konvokesyen Kolej Automotif TOC, di sini, hari ini.

Terdahulu, ketika berucap, Mohd Redzuan berkata kerajaan memerlukan sokongan bagi industri ini, begitu juga dengan pengetahuan, kemahiran dan graduan berkemahiran untuk menjayakan cita-cita ini.

“Pada masa lalu, kita cuba mengembangkan industri ini dengan mewujudkan kereta kita sendiri, tetapi jelas, kita perlu bekerja seiring dengan masa.

“Ini memberikan banyak cabaran sebagaimana yang kita saksikan hari ini dimana Proton perlu berkompromi,” katanya.

Justeru, kata Mohd Redzuan, kerajaan akan menyempurnakan dan memperbaiki daripada “apa dan di mana yang salah (terhadap Proton)”.

Dr Mahathir mengesahkan aspirasi membina projek kereta nasional ketiga dalam lawatannya ke Jepun pada Jun lalu selepas Pakatan Harapan memenangi pilihan raya umum ke-14 pada 9 Mei tahun ini.

Perdana Menteri dilaporkan berkata bahawa, kerajaan meninjau untuk membina kereta nasional 3.0 selepas Proton dan Perodua, memandangkan ilham yang dicetuskannya, Proton menjalin perkongsian strategik dengan Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co (Geely) dari China pada Mei tahun lalu.

Mohd Redzuan berkata, kerajaan boleh menjadi fasilitator kepada graduan automotif untuk menjalankan latihan kerja di Jepun.

“Kami lebih dari gembira untuk melaksanakannya dan kita juga mempunyai rakan di Jepun yang sanggup menerima graduan kita untuk latihan kerja di sana,” katanya dan menambah bahawa langkah itu akan membantu industri automitif tempatan berkembang maju dan menjadi lebih berdaya tahan, terutama dalam sektor pengeluaran komponen kenderaan,” katanya.

Sektor automotif menyumbang empat peratus kepada keluaran dalam negara kasar pada 2017.

*Open Letter to*

*The Prime Minster of Malaysia*

Dear Mr Prime Minister,

*YOUR LEGACY, MALAYSIA and ROYALTY*

It is indeed with a heavy heart I have to be the bearer of bad news. *This is about your dismal performance which has endangered your own legacy, undermined survivability of Malaysia and may erode the peoples’ trust of the royal institution.* I am writing this letter as an individual and not as a State Assemblyman of Sungai Pelek or certainly NOT representing the views of DAP. My views are reflective and representative of the feelings, fears, tribulations of many rakyat from villagers, traders, businessmen, professionals from all walks of life during this covid pandemic.

You have publicly said some people had ridiculed you “BODOH” and you accepted it. Personally, you are NOT BODOH because you have outsmarted Tun Mahathir to become PM of Malaysia. But you are smart to wrangle, wriggle and wiggle your way to the top. In the process you have betrayed your friends in PH, for which your action does not speak well of your own integrity. To stay in power, you needed more “friends” which you enticed with cabinet and GLC posts. As a result you now have the biggest cabinet in the world – based on population size and GDP, larger than China, USA and Japan. Of course all at the expense of tax payers’ money.

You are now in a dilemma and stuck in quagmire created by yourself. Although you are smart and certainly NOT bodoh, you were gifted with a set of skills in politics, backstabbing, betrayal and other underhand tactics to climb to the top. In simple management lingo you have been “promoted” to your level of INCOMPETENCE. As PM, you need to have different “skills set” to power Malaysia to greater heights.

I would recommend a book for you to read during FMCO - Peter’s Principles. Basically the author expounds several principles to climb the corporate ladder, political heirachy or even public service. One of which is – A person can be “promoted” or sometimes “elected” like Trump, to his or her own level of INCOMPETENCE. The reason is every person has a different set of skills for a certain type of job. For example- A good salesman can sell very well but the moment he is promoted to become a marketing director he needs to manage people, make marketing strategies, budgeting etc etc. In short he will FAIL because he does not have the requisite skill sets for the higher job. It is the same with you, as you have FAILED BIG TIME as you DO NOT have the requisite skills set for a Prime Minister.

You were appointed as a BOSS- because bosses use people and abuse them and that’s why you have a super jumbo sized cabinet in the world. You admitted that you are not the Prime Minister the nation voted in GE 2018.

You are NOT a LEADER as a leader looks for the goodness of everyone, inspires and improves his people. You don’t even have a VISION for our country.

From Day One, Tunku taught us that if only we are united, we can shape our destiny and take on the world, and become a model of success for the rest of the world to emulate. You are NOT a nation builder and neither are your cabinet members but most, if not all are opportunists and nation building is NOT on their agenda.

You have FAILED us on Unity, Economy, Covid Pandemic

*1.0 UNITY*

1.1 When Malaya was formed our cabinet was multi-racial and sizeable number of minorities were in the cabinet holding important portfolios.

1.2 You have now boasted of a Malay-Muslim government with very little input from other minorities.

1.3 Your infamous quote “Saya 1Melayu 2Malaysia” does not give comfort to all Malaysians that you will be fair to minorities

1.4 Indonesia is the world’s biggest Muslim country and yet it is pluralistic under its Pancasila, the principles of which were incorporated in our “Rukun Negara”.

*2.0 ECONOMY*

2.1 Under your watch, our FDI in country has dropped and even Hyundai has shifted its car production and making Electric Vehicles; Google, Amazon are investing billions in Indonesia; High tech companies like Dyson are making EV cars and German BioN are going to Singapore. We are losing or have lost our competitive edge to other ASEAN countries because of all your flip flop and infamous U-turn leadership

*3.0 COVID PANDEMIC MISMANAGEMENT*

3.1 We can compile a new book “Comedy of Errors Of A Backdoor Government’s Mismanagement of the Covid Pandemic”- things you won’t learn in Harvard.

3.2 We are the ONLY country in the world that instituted a war-like Emergency Ordinance and suspended Parliament

3.3 To add salt to the wound our total infections have quadrupled to 639,562 confirmed cases and 3,684 deaths up to June 10, 2021

3.4 SOP?? MCO1, MCO2, MCO3, EMCO, CMCO, TMCO. It is indeed a comedy of errors and guffaws. KL is a FT carved out of Selangor. For example Taman Tun Dr Ismail is in KL and across the road is Petaling Jaya is 1Utama- the world’s 4th biggest shopping. District boundaries within states are not demarcated properly. Anyone with some common sense will just impose a 10km radius boundary from your home address will suffice and can be easily verified on Google maps.

*3.5 VACCINE TRANSPARENCY and VACCINATION CHAOS*

3.5.1 MySejahtera, though a brilliant idea, did not work as expected due to huge rush for vaccination appointments in tandem with rise in covid infections. The MySejahtera mobile app crashed or hanged very often

3.5.2 Senior citizens (husband and wife) were separated and directed to different vaccination centers faraway from home; last minute change of centers; overcrowding etc

3.5.3 There are more than 8,000 private GP doctors who offered to help as part of “national service” but received luke warm response from MoH. Common sense tells us if each GP doctor vaccinates 20 persons per day, we can have 160,000 a day

3.5.4 The pricing of our vaccines procurement has become a “national secret” which created lots of suspicions and confusion

3.5.5 When the Belgian government announced its purchase price of Pfizer, Malaysians wonder why are we buying at higher price?

3.5.6 When a Hongkong philanthropist wanted to donate 2 million doses of Sinovac, Malaysians were surprised why the price of Sinovac for two(2) doses sold to government was reported in social media to be RM380 while the Hongkong donor can get them 4x cheaper.? People of Malaysia would like to know the real truth.

3.5.7 Why Sinopharm vaccines are approved by WHO but not approved by Malaysia

3.5.8 Strangely Sinovac vaccines are approved in Malaysia before WHO approved them on June 1

3.5.9 Why is there a need of mega vaccination centers creating problems with social distancing when there are 8,000 GP doctors? In UK the private GP clinics and pharmacists were roped in to do vaccinations. As at June 8, 2021, in UK 61% of its population had at least one dose and 42% had completed two doses

3.5.10 Private hospitals and state governments like Selangor, Penang and Sarawak wanted to buy direct from China and why the red tape imposed by the Federal government.

*4.0 THE WAY FORWARD*

4.1 I humbly request that YAB Tan Sri should resign because the rakyat are hungry, angry from loss of jobs, sad from loss of loved ones and financially very broke.

4.2 The current situation is volatile and may lead to civil unrest in the country

4.3 You should resign to protect your own LEGACY, the FUTURE OF MALAYSIA and the ROYAL INSTITUTION which has been the strongest pillar of our foundation.

*4.4 LEGACY*

4.4.1 Your dismal performance has made you the worst PM and your continued stay in power will only cement it forever.

4.4.2 Rest assured that your dismal performance is not a reflection of your capability but more of you were promoted to your level of incompetence which requires a different set of skills which you were not trained. Former PM Tun Mahathir is another classic example of promoted to his level of incompetence too.

4.4.3 You can salvage your tattered image by doing the honourable thing to resign and give the opportunity for DYMM YDPA to appoint another MP who commands the majority of MPs in Parliament

4.4.4 You are fully aware who is the anointed successor to Tun Mahathir and it is public knowledge that DSAI has announced he has the numbers in Parliament.

*4.5 MALAYSIA*

4.5.1 You must be aware that there is a ground swell of people who are suffering from loss of job, financially bankrupt, loss of loved ones which can lead to a crescendo of violence and civil unrest.

4.5.2 You should know that politics using race and religion is a dangerous explosive cocktail which you and your coalition partners have used before. Coupled with the crumbling economic situation we should maintain the bond of good race and religious harmony. This should NOT be compromised by an angry mob.

*4.6 ROYAL INSTITUTION*

4.6.1 It must be strongly emphasised that the Royal Institution in Malaysia is the pillar and it need to be protected at all cost.

4.6.2 Your dismal performance as the PM may precipitate a diminished respect and displeasure of the Royal Institution and it is our solemn DUTY to protect it and restore the rakyat’s TRUST and LOYALTY to our esteemed ROYAL INSTITUTION.

I pray YAB will make the most honourable and gracious sacrifice by resigning for the sake of country. This noble and selfless act will be forever be engraved in the hearts of all Malaysians and that your legacy ended with a supreme sacrifice will be remembered forever.

Yours sincerely
