box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; white-space: pre-line;">Saintis dan aktivis alam sekitar memberi amaran itu ketika Venice, sebuah bandar di mana banjir biasanya menjadi kebimbangan utama, menghadapi keadaan air surut luar biasa yang menyebabkan gondola dan <em style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box;">water cab</em> tidak dapat digunakan melalui terusan.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; white-space: pre-line;">Beberapa faktor dikesan menjadi punca antaranya kekurangan hujan, sistem tekanan tinggi, bulan penuh dan arus laut.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px; white-space: pre-line;"><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Po, sungai terpanjang di Itali yang mengalir dari Alps di barat laut ke Adriatik, didapati kurang 61 peratus air daripada biasa pada tahun ini, kata saintis dalam satu kenyataan.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Julai tahun lalu, Itali mengisytiharkan darurat di kawasan sekitar Po, yang menyumbang kira-kira satu pertiga daripada pengeluaran pertanian negara itu selepas kemarau paling teruk dalam tempoh 70 tahun.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;"><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Kami berada dalam situasi defisit air yang telah meningkat sejak musim sejuk 2020-2021," kata pakar iklim, Massimiliano Pasqui, dari institut penyelidikan saintifik Itali CNR, kepada media tempatan.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat;

box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Paras air di Tasik Garda di utara Itali telah jatuh ke paras terendah, membolehkan orang ramai sampai ke pulau kecil San Biagio melalui laluan yang terdedah.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Ramalan cuaca terkini walau bagaimanapun menunjukkan hujan dan salji mungkin akan turun dalam beberapa hari lagi.</div><div class="article-text new-line" style="background-repeat: no-repeat; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 32px;">Kemarau musim sejuk merujuk kepada keadaan iklim sejuk kering lantaran tidak menerima jumlah hujan yang mencukupi, atau salji tidak terbentuk dengan banyak walaupun sudah mencapai suhu yang sepatutnya. Keadaan itu juga menyusutkan komposisi air dalam tanah, lalu menjadikan tanaman tidak mampu bertahan hidup.</div></div></div></article>Mohd Noorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713588702794682518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686015260970407260.post-31983915531197886362023-04-02T21:14:00.001-07:002023-04-02T21:14:36.364-07:00<p> </p><h1 class="page-title mb-2" style="background-color: white;

banyak kontroversi dan kritikan apabila Pakatan Harapan bersedia menerima dua

bekas ADUN yang menyebabkan kerajaan negeri Melaka jatuh. ? <o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Ada beberapa persoalan telah dijawab pada hari ini. Persoalan pertama
yang berbangkit adakah PRN Melaka ini akan berlangsung secara tiga penjuru atau
tidak.</span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Jika berlaku pertandingan secara </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">tiga penjuru BN dan PN akan bersaing sesama
sendiri walaupun mereka masih lagi berkerjasama di peringkat Nasional
memartabatkan Ismail Sabri sebagai perdana menteri Malaysia. Kerjasama antara
BN dan PN di peringkat Persekutuan menyebabkan kerajaan Ismail masih wujud di
Putrajaya dan pertandingan sesama sendiri di DUN Melaka menunjukkan tiada kata
sepakat antara mereka dalam PRN Melaka ini. .</span></span></p>
<p style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;"><o:p> </o:p></span>PAS yang memilih bersama dengan Pakatan Nasiona-PN telah berulang
kali memohon supaya pertandingan tiga penjuru itu tidak berlaku supaya peluang untuk
menang yang tinggi akan diperolehi sekiranya kumpulan yang pro kerajaan ini hanya
bertanding satu dengan satu dengan Pakatan Harapan-PH. Nampaknya formula
pembahagian kerusi yang disarankan oleh PAS tidak diterima oleh UMNO. Walaupun
dari awal lagi sudah jelas pendirian UMNO dengan Bersatu.-<br /><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;"><o:p> </o:p></span>Dengan pengumuman Barisan Nasional – BN akan bertanding di semua
28 kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) secara pasti pertandingan tiga penjuru
antara Barisan Nasional-BN, Pakatan Nasional-PN dan Pakatan Harapan-PH tidak
dapat dielakkan. <span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Secara
solo Barisan Nasional, UMNO akan bertanding 20 kerusi, MCA 7 buah kerusi dan
MIC </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">sebuah kerusi. Format Barisan Nasional-BN
ini adalah format yang sama seperti yang ditunjukkan semasa Barisan Nasional
bertanding dalam PRu-14 dulu.<br /></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;"><o:p> </o:p></span>Dengan pengumuman Barisan Nasional itu juga, Pakatan Nasional-PN <span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">sudah tiada mempunyai pilihan, bahkan terpaksa
bertanding kesemua 28 kerusi dan Pakatan Harapan-PH telah pun mengumumkan akan
bertanding 28 kerusi. </span><span style="font-family: Roboto;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto;">Seperti yang diduga, Pakatan Harapan-PH
tidak membuka peluang kepada Parti Ikatan Demokrasi Malaysia (Muda) pimpinan
Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman bertanding di Melaka. Bagaimana pun Parti
Bumiputra Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) pimpinan Ibrahim Ali mengesahkan akan
menghantar lima calon berbanding dengan cadangan awal seramai 13 calon.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Persaoalan Kedua yang dijawab pada hari
ini, sebenarnya menjawab kedudukan dua orang wakil kerajaan yang sebelum ini
yang menyebabkan kerajaan negeri Melaka jatuh iatu bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka,

semalam telah memaklumkan bahawa PAS akan menggunakan lambang PN bagi
menghadapi PRN Melaka.

oleh PAS, Pesuruhjaya PAS Melaka Datuk Kamarudin Sidek menerangkan bagaimana
perkara itu dapat dilaksanakan. Tujuan utama adalah bagi memastikan
pertandingan satu lawan satu dapat dilaksanakan dalam usaha menghalang kemenangan
PH.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

mengekalkan kerusi status quo. Kerusi yang dimenangi oleh UMNO tidak boleh
ditandingi oleh PN. Dalam masa yang sama kerusi yang dimenangi oleh Bersatu,
UMNO tidak boleh masuk bertanding. PAS pula akan bertanding di kerusi yang
dimenangi oleh PH pada PRU 14. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

Kamarudin<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>memberi contoh, sekiranya
Bersatu masuk lawan juga di kawasan kerusi yang dimenangi oleh Umno menang, PAS
tidak teragak-agak untuk menyokong Umno dalam kerusi tersebut, begitu juga
sebaliknya.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

UMNO tidak boleh masuk, sekiranya UMNO masuk, kita (PAS) akan menyokong
Bersatu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

lawan satu dengan PH<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>dapat tercapai. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Bersatu. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

dan menang 13 kerusi bermakna kalah 7 kerusi. Lagi 8 kerusi daripada 28 kerusi
itu ditandingi satu oleh MIC dan bakinya oleh MCA. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

daripada 28 kerusi DUN Melaka dalam PRU 14 dan kalah semua kerusi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

solusi yang ditawarkan oleh PAS, UMNO mempunyai 13 buah kerusi, Bersatu dua buah
kerusi. Kerusi yang dimenangi oleh DAP sebanyak 8 buah kerusi pada PRU 14 lalu
dijangka akan ditandingi sama ada oleh MCA, MIC atau Gerakan mewakili BN dan
PN. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maknanya sudah ada 23 kerusi secara
status quo bagi pihak BN dan PN. Sebab itu dari awal lagi PAS telah hebahkan
yang mereka berhasrat bertanding 5 buah kerusi walaupun kerusinya tidak
dimuktamadkan. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

yang diterangkan oleh Kamarudin, UMNO bertanding 13 kerusi, Bersatu dua buah,
PAS akan bertanding 5 buah dan baki 8 lagi akan ditandingi oleh MIC/MCA atau
Gerakan dalam PRN Melaka nanti.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

bersetuju dengan pembahagian ini hanya menghadkan mereka 13 dan dua buah kerusi
sahaja untuk Bersatu sedangkan PAS akan mendapat lima kerusi. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

sekurang-kurangnya 20 kerusi juga seperti PRU 14. Bersatu juga akan bertanding
sekurang-kurangnya enam kerusi. Jika ini berlaku pertandingan tiga penjuru
tidak boleh dielakkan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Bahnschrift Light",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-no-proof: no;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

tiga penjuru hanya berlaku di lima kerusi sahaja. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;">Bagi saya hari ini DSAI
telah membuat kejutan. Perkara-perkara yang diandaikan sebelum ini dinyatakan secara
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>terus terang. Jadi sudah terang lagi bersuluh.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sudah tentu apa yang
di dedah itu, menjadi modal politik parti musuh politik beliau. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Kejutan yang dibuat
DSAI mendapat balasan daripada Ketua Penerangan UMNO dan mantan perdana menteri.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Ketua Penerangan UMNO
Shahril Hamdan merasakan beliau sudah mempunyai hujah untuk menangkis serangan
yang menyalahkan UMNO yang menyebabkan kerajaan negeri Melaka jatuh.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Persoalan yang
ditimbulkan beliau ialah tindakan PH bertemu empat orang wakil rakyat yang
bertindak menarik sokongan </span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">dan meraikan
mereka sebagai ‘panglima’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Sudah tentu tindakan PH
berjumpa dengan empat orang ini tidak menjadi masalah. Tapi apa ertinya merujuk
mereka sebagai ‘panglima’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Selaras dengan pengakuan
Anwar itu, UMNO tidak boleh lagi dipersalahkan sebagai pencetus krisis politik
di Melaka.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Jadi, jangan salahkan
UMNO lagi.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">"Hari ini kita telah dapat jawapan PH terbuka menjalin kerjasama
dalam PRN Melaka. Kita tunggu apakah ini bermaksud kelak rakyat akan diminta
pilih tiga individu ini atas tiket PH. Jika tidak sekalipun, nampaknya PH
menghargai 'jasa' dan menganggap mereka sebagai aset.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Beliau berkata
walaupun parti mereka mempunyai kelemahan, namun PH tidak perlu berlagak suci.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Sementara itu, bekas
perdana menteri, Najib Razak berkata pengesahan Anwar bahawa dia ada bertemu
empat Adun yang menarik sokongan terhadap kerajaan Melaka mengesahkan komplot
dicetuskan oleh mereka.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Selaras dengan
pengakuan Anwar itu, UMNO tidak boleh dipersalahkan sebagai pencetus krisis
politik di Melaka.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">“Jangan salahkan UMNO
lagi,” katanya dalam satu hantaran di Facebooknya hari ini.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">DSAI secara berterus
terang semasa bercakap kepada pemberita di Port Dickson berkata, ketiga-ketiga
mereka tidak terlibat dengan ‘Langkah Sheraton” yang bertujuan untuk
menumbangkan kerajaan PH tahun lalu.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Sebaliknya, mereka
kini mahu mengembalikan mandat yang diberikan pengundi </span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">kepada PH. Jadi DSAI tidak bersetuju mereka
ini dilonggokkan sebagai satu kumpulan sama dengan Langkah Sheraton yang
mengkhianati amanah rakyat. Mereka hendak kembalikan kepada Pakatan Harapan.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Mengulas lanjut,
Anwar berkata Idris, Nor Azman dan Effendi telah bertemu dengan pemimpin PH
Melaka sebelum menarik balik sokongan kepada Sulaiman. Berdasarkan persefahaman
ketika itu, ketiga-tiga mereka akan menyokong PH di Melaka untuk membentuk
kerajaan baru.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Bagaimanapun perkara
itu tidak berlaku apabila Sulaiman berjaya meyakinkan Yang di-Pertua Negeri
Melaka, Mohd Ali Rustam untuk membubarkan DUN sebelum kerajaan baru dibentuk.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">"Jadi sekarang
kita ada masalah untuk menolak (mereka) begitu saja seperti diharapkan oleh
sesetengah dalam media sosial. Itu tidak tepat soalnya dia sokong untuk
kembalikan mandat kita.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">"Kedua,
persefahaman mereka adalah untuk mereka bersama. Dia dah jangka dia akan
dipecat oleh partinya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">"Oleh demikian
kita nak ketepikan begitu saja tak boleh. Saya kena bincang dengan pimpinan di
Melaka, kemudian juga pimpinan PH, untuk mengambil kira hal-hal ini sebelum
kita buat keputusan," kata Anwar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt;">Tiga Adun yang
dimaksudkan adalah Idris Haron (Sungai Udang) dan Nor Azman Hassan (Pantai
Kundor). dan Noor Effandi Ahmad (Teluk Mas).</span></p>

telah sahkan bahawa pembahagian kerusi antara komponen parti dalam Pakatan
Harapan - PH sudah dimuktamadkan. Dengan ketiadaan Bersatu yang sebelum ini
menjadi komponen Pakatan Harapan semasa PRU-14 dulu, semua parti komponen
Pakatan Harapan ini mendapat ghanimah tambahan kerusi-kerusi yang sebelum ini
diperuntukkan kepada Bersatu.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-left: .25in; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;">Menurut
penganalisa politik Dr. Azmi Hassan pengagihan kerusi dalam kalangan parti
komponen Pakatan Harapan pada Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka lebih mudah
diselesaikan kerana mereka mempunyai lebihan enam kerusi yang ditandingi oleh
BERSATU sebelum ini. Jadi bukan masalah besar kerana "perebutan"
hanya terhad kepada kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri berkenaan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-left: .25in; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;">Dalam
pembahagian kerusi tersebut, Pakatan Harapan memberi kepada DAP lapan buah
kerusi, PKR 11 dan Amanah sembilan buah kerusi untuk dipertandingkan dalam
Pilihan Raya Ngeri Melaka yang akan diadakan pada November depan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-left: .25in; orphans: 2; text-align: justify; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="background: white; color: #212529; font-family: Roboto;">Pada PRU-14 lalu, DAP bertanding dan memenangi semua kerusi yang
ditandinginya di DUN Gadek, Pengkalan Batu, Ayer Keroh, Kesidang, Kota
Laksamana, Duyong, Banda Hilir dan Bemban. Jadi bagi DAP tiada kerusi tambahan
yang diperolehi walaupun pernah menyuarakan kepada media untuk diberi.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

PH bertanding 28 buah kerusi Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka (DAP lapan, BERSATU enam,
PKR lapan, AMANAH enam ) dan memenangi 15 buah kerusi (DAP lapan, BERSATU dua,
PKR tiga dan AMANAH dua) . BN bertanding 28 kerusi (UMNO bertanding 18 kerusi,
MIC satu dan MCA Sembilan buah kerusi) dan <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Barisan Nasional memenangi 13 buah kerusi (Umno
13), Pas bertanding 24 buah kerusi dan kalah semua.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;">Bagaimanapun sebelum kerajaan Melaka dibubarkan, Barisan Nasional
(BN) diwakili 17 ADUN yang terdiri daripada 14 ADUN UMNO, dua (Bersatu) dan
satu Bebas, manakala pembangkang mempunyai 11 kerusi iaitu tujuh DAP, dua (PKR)
dan dua (Amanah). Bermakna dalam proses lompat melompat, sokong menyokong
Pakatan Harapan telah kehilangan 4 buah kerusi yang dimenangi mereka dalam PRU
ke 14 lepas <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>iaitu satu kerusi daripada
PKR, dua kerusi daripada BERSATU dan Satu kerusi daripada DAP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-left: .25in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Roboto;">PAS tidak memenangi apa-apa kerusi pun pada PRU -14 lalu. Tetapi
perlu diingat PAS dapat secara agregat 10.78 % undi. jika di lihat pada data
ini PAS mempunyai lebih kurang 10 peratus penyokong tegar mereka di Melaka yang
boleh digunakan untuk menyokong mana-mana calon.<o:p></o:p></span></p><br /><p></p>Mohd Noorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713588702794682518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686015260970407260.post-21073254070020490512021-10-28T08:53:00.000-07:002021-10-28T08:53:44.852-07:00<p><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Antara keyakinan jika tersalah urus Maut - PRN Melaka </span></b></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Barisan Nasional - BN melancarkan jentera Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka semalam (27/10/21). Hampir 5,000 orang dikatakan hadir. Hasilnya pada keesokan harinya Pejabat Kesihatan Kepong mengenakan kompaun RM 10,000 kerana gagal mematuhi Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) Fasa 4 Pelan Pemulihan Negara (PPN) ketika melancarkan jentera bagi Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Sebelum itu orang ramai yang mengikuti pelancaran itu secara atas talian, ramai yang tidak puas hati kerana ada pelanggaran terhadap SOP. Adakah jumlah kompaun yang dikenakan itu akan memberi peringatan dan tidak akan berulang lagi kesalahan yang sama. Sebelum itu, Kementerian Kesihatan menguatkuasakan larangan aktiviti perhimpunan atau majlis sosial berkaitan dengan Pilihan raya Melaka termasuk pelancaran jentera bermula 24 Oktober sehingga 27 November depan. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Yang Jelas Barisan Nasional telah memukul "gendang perang." Mereka akan mengerah seluruh pelusuk Malaysia tenaga-tenaga bagi membantu Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka ini. Berdasarkan pengalaman kejayaan Pilihan Kecil yang diadakan sebelum ini dan Pilihan Raya Negeri Sabah, Zahid Hamidi sebagai Pengerusi Barisan Nasional menyatakan keyakinan beliau bahawa satu perubahan luar biasa akan berlaku dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka ini.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Keyakinan Zahid ini berasaskan keyakinan bahawa menurut kaji selidik yang dilakukan oleh pihaknya, rata-rata responden menyebut bahawa berlaku penyesalan apabila membuat penolakan calon BN pada PRU-14. Justeru beliau yakin trend di Melaka pada PRU-14 akan berubah dan akan kembali menyokong Barisan Nasional demi kestabilan politik dan keharmonian negeri berkenaan.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Zahid juga berkata Barisan Nasional akan melakukan perubahan besar dengan meletakan calon-calon baru dan muda pada Pilihan Raya Melaka bulan depan. Calon mesti ada sifat wali iaitu winnable (menang), acceptance (diterima) dan likeable(disukai).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Beliau menjelaskan sifat wali yang beliau maksudkan ialah seorang yang mempunyai ilmu yang boleh diterima oleh semua agama, kaum dan keturunan di Melaka.</span></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white;

Sekiranya segala usaha bagi mengikatkan UMNO dan Bersatu yang diusahakan oleh PAS masih lagi gagal. Jalan yang ada sesuatu yang tidak dapat dielakkan ialah pertandingan tiga penjuru. Pertandingan itu akan melibatkan tiga gabungan atau pakatan iaitu Barisan Nasional - BN, Perikatan Nasional - PN dan Pakatan Harapan- PH.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;">Setakat 14 Mei 2020, hanya tinggal empat parti komponen dalam BN iaitu UMNO, </span><a href="https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persatuan_Cina_Malaysia" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0645ad; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Persatuan Cina Malaysia">Persatuan Cina Malaysia</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"> (MCA), </span><a href="https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kongres_India_Malaysia" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0645ad; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Kongres India Malaysia">Kongres India Malaysia</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"> (MIC) dan </span><a href="https://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parti_Bersatu_Rakyat_Sabah" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0645ad; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah">Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: start;"> (PBRS).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2f34; font-family: Poppins; font-size: 17px;">Bagi Pakatan Harapan gabungan itu mempunyai empat parti yang menganggotainya iatu PKR, Amanah, DAP dan Pertubuhan Kinabalu Progresif Bersatu (UPKO).</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2c2f34; font-family: Poppins; font-size: 17px;">Manakala </span><span style="color: #2c2f34; font-family: Poppins;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">“Parti-parti komponen PN iaitu Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia- Bersatu, Pas dan Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Gerakan), Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) dan Parti Progresif Sabah (SAPP). </span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Agak menarik struktur parti-parti yang menganggotai ketiga-tiga gabungan itu hampir sama. Mempunyai parti paksi yang selalu lebih mirip cenderungan kepada perjuangan Melayu dan parti-parti bukan Melayu yang lebih mengutamakan hasrat pengundi bukan Melayu. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Misalnya Barisan Nasional - BN, parti paksinya ialah UMNO yang lebih cenderung memperjuangan nasib pengundi Melayu manakala MCA jelas parti orang China dan MIC parti orang India. Dijangka ketua panglima perangnya ialah Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, mantan Perdana Menteri Keenam. Panglima yang terpaksa mengangkat bendera putih semasa PRU-14 dulu.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Pakatan Harapan - PH, paksi gabungan itu ialah PKR iaitu yang dipimpin oleh Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yang memulakan kareer politik dalam UMNO pada tahun 1982. Walaupun merupakan parti multietnik tetapi kecenderungan kepada pengundi Melayu agak ketara. Dijangka akan bertanding di kawasan pengundi orang Melayu majoriti. DAP juga adalah parti multietnik di mana kecenderungan kepada etnik bukan Melayu adalah agak ketara. Oleh demikian DAP akan bertanding di kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri di mana etnik China adalah majoriti. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bagi Perikatan Nasional - PN, Bersatu adalah paksi gabungan itu. Gabungan ini akan diketuai oleh General, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, pernah menjadi timbalan perdana menteri menerusi parti UMNO. Bersatu dan PAS adalah parti berhaluan Melayu akan bertanding di Dewan Undangan Negeri yang majoritinya pengundinya orang Melayu. Manakala Gerakan akan mengalas cabaran besar menghadapi DAP dan MCA/MIC di kawasan-kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri yang majoritinya orang China.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Ramai peramal meramalkan yang DAP tidak punyai banyak masalah untuk mengekalkan kesemua kawasan yang dimenanginya. Pada PRU-14 dulu, DAP bertanding lapan kerusi dan memenangi kesemuanya. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Di dalam pertarungan ini Gerakan diharapkan oleh Perikatan Nasional untuk memainkan peranan seperti MCA di dalam Barisan Nasional bagi memujuk etnik China mengundi Pakatan Nasional. Sekiranya dibenarnya oleh pengundi bukan Melayu, Gerakan seharusnya memainkan seperti peranan DAP memenangkan Pakatan Harapan dan justeru Gerakan harus membantu kemenangan Perikatan Nasional dengan memenangi dikerusi-kerusi yang bukan Melayu majoriti. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dalam pertandingan tiga penjuru ini UMNO akan berentap dengan Bersatu atau PAS dan juga berentap dengan PKR atau Amanah bagi mendominasikan Dewan Undangan Negeri yang majoriti pengundinya adalah orang Melayu. Makakala DAP yang mewakili Pakatan Harapan akan berdepan dengan MCA/MIC yang mewakili Barisan Nasional dan juga bertarung dengan Gerakan bagi memenangi hati orang bukan Melayu di Pilihan Raya Negeri Melaka. </p><p> </p><p><br /></p>Mohd Noorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713588702794682518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686015260970407260.post-6705043214371146782021-10-25T07:06:00.001-07:002021-10-25T07:06:52.094-07:00<p><b>Siapakah General di peringkat Pusat</b> </p><p>Semakin jelas Pilihanraya Negeri Melaka akan di adakah pada November ini kecuali mahkamah membuat keputusan sebaliknya. Begitu juga semangkin jelas tiga gabungan besar, Barisan Nasional - BN, Perikatan Nasional - PN dan Pakatan Harapan - PH munkin terpaksa berentap untuk mempamirkan sosok yang paling cucok untuk dipilih oleh rakyat Melaka nanti.</p><p>Namun, persoalan yang dimainkan ketika ini adakah UMNO, PAS dan Bersatu berada dalam satu gabungan atau tidak. Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man memberi pengharapan dengan menyatakan perbincangan mengelakkan pertembungan tiga penjuru antara PAS, UMNO dan Bersatu Melaka masih diteruskan dan perlu diadakan muafakat dalam soal pembahagian kerusi bagi meminimakan petembungan sekiranya ia berlaku. </p><p>Seperti pasukan bola sepak penting pemilihan pemain dibuat dalam konteks pilihanraya Melaka sangat penting parti-parti mengemukakan calon-calon yang berwibawa dan benar-benar berjiwa rakyat dan meletakan kepentingan rakyat yang paling utama. Walaupun hasrat ini selalunya dikecewakan tapi hasrat mengunung ini sentiasa ada.</p><p>Satu hal yang penting juga seperti dalam hal pasukan bola sepak ialah pemilihan Jurulatih. Pemilihan jurulatih akan menentukan sesuatu pasukan itu akan menang atau tidak. Begitu juga dalam pilihan raya Melaka ini siapakah yang akan melakar strategi bagi menawan hati rakyat sangat mustahak. Sebab itu mereka yang mendewakan Tun Mahathir sentiasa mewarakan sosok Dr. Mahathir adalah sosok yang memberi kemenangan kepada PH semasa PRU 14 dulu. Walaupun perkara ini boleh dihujahkan. </p><p>Seperti diduga siapakah yang akan mengetuai serangan dan akan berada di dalam bilik "War Room" di peringkat pusat, sudah pun diketahui. Siapakah pula pengarah "War Room" di peringkat negeri juga boleh dijangka. Manakala pengarah Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka sukar sedikit untuk diteka pada peringkat ini.</p><p>Senario yang ada sekarang yang mengandaikan 3 gabungan tadi iatu BN, PN dan HP akan bertarung yang akan dimeriahkan mungkin dengan penyertaan beberapa parti lagi dan anggota bebas. </p><p>Adalah jelas sekarang bahawa Datuk Seri Najib sendiri akan mengetuai lakaran strategi UMNO dan BN setelah Datuk Seri Zahid akan berlepas ke Jerman bagi mendapatkan rawatan bagi sakit tulang belakang beliau. Permohonan meminta tarikh pelepasan dan pemulangan pasport ke Singapura telah dipohon kelulusan mahkamah dengan menyatakan bahawa beliau telah diamanahkan untuk memabantu jentera parti UMNO menghadapi Plihan Raya Negeri Melaka pada 20 November depan. </p><p>Datuk Seri Najib adalah sosok yang mengetuai Barisan Nasional dalam Pilihan Raya ke 14 lalu menentang bekas ketuanya yang ketika itu mengetuai Pakatan Harapan. Hasilnya seperti yang diketahui pasukan beliau tewas. Dengan bebekalkan pengalaman dikalahkan di peringkat Pusat atau Persekutuan, Datuk Najib akan mengetuai serangan Barisan Nasional untuk menawan Melaka yang kalah kepada PH semasa Pilihan Raya Umum Ke 14 dulu. Saya percaya Datuk Seri Najib akan berusaha bersungguh-sungguh supaya nasib malang yang menimba kerajaan Persekutuan tidak menimpa kerajaan negeri Melaka nanti dalam Pilihan Raya Negeri kali ini. </p><p>Di peringkat negeri Melaka kita nampak salah seorang daripada dua toko ini di beri peranan sebagai Leftenan General najib di peringkat negeri Melaka. dua tokoh itu ialah bekas Speaker Negeri Melaka Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusof ataupun bekas Ketua Menteri Melaka Datuk Husni Mohamad.</p><p>Menarik juga kali ini Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim secara automatik sebagai Pengerusi Pakatan Harapan akan mengetuai di peringkat Pakatan Harapan Pusat sebagai penglima perang utama. Manakalah di peringkat Negeri Melaka telah di warakan Adly Zahari bekas Ketua Menteri semasa pemerintahan Pakatan Harapan di Melaka akan menjadi Leftenan General Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim di Melaka. Tugas yang digalas oleh Datuk Seri Anwar agak berat iaitu meneruskan kejayaan Pakatan Harapan semasa Pilihan Raya Umum ke 14 dulu. Kejayaan ini juga akan memberi sinar harapan yang cerah untuk Pakatan Harapan dapat menguasai Pilihan Raya Umum ke 15 nanti.</p><p>Bagi pihak Pakatan Nasional pengerusinya iaitu Tan Sri Muhyuddin Yassin secara automatik juga akan mengalas tanggung jawab keseluruhannya. Manakalah kemungkinan besar, pengerusi Bersatu negeri Melaka <span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #212529; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;">Datuk Mohd Rafiq Naizamohideen.akan menjadi Leftenan Genaral Muhyuddin.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #212529; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;">Satu yang menarik Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim pernah mengetuai "Team Wawasan" pada tahun 1993 yang dianggotai oleh Muhyiddin dan Najib dalam Pemilihan UMNO 1993. Datuk Seri Anwar menang sebagai Timbalan Presdien UMNO, Datuk Seri Najib dan Tan Seri Muhiddin menang sebagai naib presiden UMNO. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: #f4f4f4; color: #212529; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: center;">Jadi antara mereka ketiga ini cukup kenal kekuatan dan kelemahan strategi politik masing-masing. Rakyat Melaka akan memilih dan akan menobatkan salah seorang daripada mereka layak di gelar General yang menguasai Negeri Malaka. </span></p>Mohd Noorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06713588702794682518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8686015260970407260.post-70521597404338047612015-10-24T09:35:00.002-07:002015-10-24T09:35:27.241-07:00Lessons From The Past - M.

The coming of Islam, European colonization, and the pursuit of independence – these were transformational events in our culture that resulted in the toppling of the Malay collective coconut shell. In all three instances our culture had served us well in guiding us through uncharted waters.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Yet, and this seems perverse, in our current tribulations we are far too inclined to blame our culture. I suggest that instead of forever berating and blaming the presumed inadequacies of our culture, it would be far more meaningful and productive if we were to analyze and learn how our culture had dealt with the major events of the past, and apply those insights to our current challenges</div>
<div>
.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
If I were to grade the performance of our culture to the three transformational events in our history, I would give an exemplary A-plus for the path we chose towards independence, an A-minus for our reception to the coming of Islam, and a respectable B for our performance during colonization.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
As for that brief period of Japanese Occupation, the fact that we survived was blessing enough. Indeed we did better; we maintained our honor and integrity. Contrary to the fears expressed by the likes of Singapore’s Lee Kuan Yew who wondered out loud whether during a time of famine his Malay neighbors would spare him their last grains of rice, rest assured that Malays willingly shared what little we had even with our once oppressors, as Jean Paget experienced in “A Town Like Alice.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
A grading exercise is only meaningful if accompanied by some useful comments. I gave a perfect score for our pursuit of independence because it was done right in every respect. We chose the right leaders and they chose the right strategy; it was also the right timing. Our approach was pragmatic, and that proved productive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
The path we chose reflected the best elements of our culture. It emphasized fairness and generosity, and we put both to good use by working together with the other communities to achieve our goal. We kept our eye on the ultimate prize, and we were willing to make the necessary compromises in order to reach our final destination. We did not consider the give and take of negotiations as a sign of weakness, rather of strength. <em>Timbang menimbang</em>, as we say, of being fair and balanced.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
With such a mindset we were able to work readily with non-Malays towards independence. We did not consider the exercise of collaboration as expedience, a sign of weakness, or the price we had to pay but as a positive endeavor towards a common goal. Had we been consumed with the “purity” of our goals and had been unwilling to compromise, we would still be a British colony today and be left even further behind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
That said, the path we chose towards independence was far from smooth. There were tough negotiations and last minute snags not only between Malays and non-Malays as represented within the Alliance, but also among Malays, specifically between UMNO (which at that time represented the overwhelming majority of Malays) and the sultans. Ultimately commonsense prevailed, and with a united front within Alliance and with the sultans, the negotiations with the British were successful.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
There were other equally passionate nationalistic leaders. With no disrespect to them, none measured up to Tunku, Tun Razak, and his team in Alliance. Had we hitched our fate on Burhanuddin Al Helmy, another giant of a leader, we would be like Indonesia today; with Malay girls desperate to find work as maids in neighboring countries. I do not question Burhanuddin’s anti-colonialist credentials but his avowed goal was union with Indonesia.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Had we latched on to Ahmad Boestaman, he would have embraced Chin Peng in a grand gesture of socialistic reconciliation, a strategy so loved by those who think that problems could be solved by simply forgetting or ignoring differences. Sukarno did that with Aidit, leader of the Indonesian Communist Party, and was nearly done in, as was Indonesia.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Chin Peng was also for independence, but his goal was to realize the aspiration of a Greater China as revealed in some ancient maps found in the musty tombs of long-gone emperors. Chin Peng and Burhanuddin were alike in their thinking and strategies; the former, communism and China; the latter, Islam and Indonesia.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Tunku too tried this reconciliation route, but after meeting Chin Peng at the Baling Peace Talks in December 1955, quickly gave that idea up. Tunku remembered well the basic rule to any negotiation: stick to your principles. He intuitively recognized Chin Peng for what he was and wisely decided that it would not be prudent to share a blanket with a cobra.</div>

Our culture’s response to the coming of Islam was exemplary in many ways. We saw its innate beauty and evident verity, and embraced the faith enthusiastically. Yet in so doing we did not dismiss or abandon our then existing ways and identity. Our exuberant acceptance of this new faith did not preclude us from continuing our traditional practices and <em>adat</em> (customs). The genius of our ancestors was to creatively harmonize the two, not picking and choosing what we like from each and discarding what we deemed unsuitable, rather the artful fusion of both. We did not become less of a Muslim or Malay in so doing but better human beings and our society the better for it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
The closest modern equivalent to our exuberant embrace of Islam would be the current Chinese accommodation to capitalism and globalization. Just as our ancestors created their own “Islam with Malay characteristics” as it were, separate from those of the Arab, Persian or Indian variety, likewise today’s China enthusiastically embraces capitalism albeit “with Chinese characteristics,” a unique brand identifiably different from the American, British or Scandinavian strain. It is capitalism nonetheless and has brought unimaginable benefits to the Chinese, just as Islam did to Malays.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
I did not grant top marks to our ancestors’ embracing Islam because in their eagerness they failed to grasp fully its vast universe beyond the spiritual and theological. They did not fully appreciate the tremendous non-religious contributions of the Arabs to the arts and sciences through Islam. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Consequently there were no Malay translations of texts beyond the religious and <em>hikayat</em> (legends). Nor did our ancestors emulate the highly successful trading practices of those early Arabs.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Our ancestors also failed to appreciate the full breath and diversity of Islamic theological thoughts, or of Islam’s tolerance to dissenting viewpoints, at least in its early years. Our culture’s failure in that arena would handicap us in our subsequent dealings with the inevitable differences in interpretations within our faith. We impute evil motives on those with whom we disagree; we are too eager to label as apostates those who disagree with us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
We became so enamored with those Arab traders and so eager to emulate them that we closed ourselves to other equally valid interpretations and practices of Islam. We let ourselves be colonized mentally in that we would view any other version of Islam as being <em>bida’a</em>, an adulteration of the faith.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
Our embrace of the Arabs could not be more different than our reaction to the Europeans. Our culture was right in recognizing colonization’s inherent evil nature. No human group has a right to subjugate others under any pretext, be it <em>noblesse oblige</em> or the presumption of a supposed “white man’s burden.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
We should fight evil (and colonization was that) but in doing so we should also recognize our own weaknesses. If we realize that our enemy is overwhelming and that there can be no meaningful or possible way for us to prevail, then we should be prepared to make the necessary accommodations to that harsh reality. There is no need to sacrifice our people needlessly. Life is precious; adapt and live for another day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
The powers of the colonialists were indeed awesome, and we would be nothing but easy prey had we aggressively resisted. In such instances our first priority should be to ensure our collective survival. With time we could learn from our adversaries and only then perhaps could we build a credible force to challenge them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
As per the wisdom of our Koran, when we see evil we must use our hands to combat it, meaning, do so physically. Failing that we should use our tongue, that is, voice our disapproval. When even that is not feasible, then we should disapprove of it in our hearts, though that is the path least favored by Allah. Stated differently, we should not senselessly sacrifice our precious lives to a lost cause and that there is infinite human capacity to adjust while remaining true to our faith. We saw that in Stalin’s Soviet Union and elsewhere.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
British colonialism was a formidable force and we could not possibly prevail. We could not challenge it with our hands; we were no match for their guns and cannons. We could voice our disapproval, but their prisons too had infinite capacity. Thus we were left to disapproving it only in our hearts, and we did.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
When it became clear that we were vastly outmatched by colonialism, our people responded in the only way they could. They resorted to using the “weapons of the weak,” borrowing James C. Scott’s words.</div>

<div class="authors">

<br /></div>
<!-- begin par-blog --> <br />
<div align="justify" class="htmlBlock section">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nearly seven decades after Palestinian refugees fled or were forced to leave the portion of the Palestine Mandate that became Israel, those who survive and millions of their descendants officially remain refugees. The unwillingness of the surrounding countries to fully assimilate them perpetuated their refugee status. They were often confined to refugee camps that turned into sprawling slums. These became a continuing source of instability; recruiting reservoirs and armed camps for extremist groups; and in some cases, miniature states within states that defied host government authority. Could the millions of people fleeing the current conflicts in Syria and Iraq become the “new Palestinians”? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Syrian and Iraqi conflicts have generated far greater numbers of refugees than did Israel's war for independence in 1948 and the aftermath of the 1967 war. About 700,000 people were displaced in 1948, some 30,000 of whom still survive. Another 200,000 left the territory occupied by Israel after the 1967 war, but they and their descendants now number about 5 million, of whom approximately 1.5 million still live in refugee camps. Forced to flee Syria's civil war, some of these Palestinians tragically have become refugees a second time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The conflicts in Syria and Iraq have generated the greatest volume of refugees since World War II. Caught between the Syrian government's brutal counterinsurgent campaign, which seeks to make life untenable in areas beyond government control, and the equally brutal so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), more than 4 million have fled Syria. In addition, nearly 8 million Syrians are internally displaced — they have fled their homes but remain elsewhere in Syria. The total comprises more than half of the entire pre-conflict Syrian population. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Iraq has 3.6 million internally displaced persons. Another 400,000 have left the country. As government forces and pro-government militias, which are mostly Shiite, try to recapture cities held by ISIS, where the population is mostly Sunni, these numbers will grow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These conflicts have resulted in a total of about 16 million displaced persons </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">— a figure that will increase. The sectarian and ethnic divisions that authoritarian rulers once kept in check now drive the fighting, making it an existential struggle for all participants. None can imagine surviving under the rule of their foes — they will fight to death. In any case, refugees are unable to return while the fighting continues, as it almost certainly will. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The neighboring countries of Lebanon and Jordan cannot easily absorb the vast numbers of refugees who have fled there. The resources of these countries are limited, and a large population of refugees would change the composition of their societies and the delicate balances that govern their politics. Both Lebanon and Jordan received large numbers of Palestinian refugees, and this resulted in security problems. In 1970, Jordan fought a brief but bloody civil war with the Palestine Liberation Organization, which created its own army and, flouting Jordanian authority, waged a terrorist campaign on Israel, thereby exposing Jordan to condemnation and retaliation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Turkey, where nearly 2 million Syrian refugees reside, does not want them. Its tolerance may decline further if fighting between government forces and Kurdish separatists escalates even further. Worried about their own stability, the Gulf monarchies have not offered to accept any refugees. Neither will Russia. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The European Union, led by Germany and Sweden, has offered to accept significant numbers: several million over the next five years, although some members of the EU, especially in Eastern Europe, refuse to take any. It is not clear how large a dent this will make in the numbers of Syrian or Iraqi refugees. The flow of refugees to Europe is not only from the Middle East; it includes those trying to cross the Mediterranean from North Africa, fleeing the chaos in Libya, as well as economic refugees from other African countries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Traffickers have taken advantage of Europe's willingness to take in Syrian refugees by adding others from Afghanistan and Africa. The refugees destroy their citizenship papers, cross the border and claim asylum. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Europe's refugee policies are still under construction. Will the EU simply accept as many as it can of those who reach its borders, turning back the rest once a certain quota is reached? Will governments try to vet those they take in by screening refugees currently registered in camps in Lebanon and Jordan? Or will the West decide eventually that it simply cannot absorb the flow of refugees and move to establish militarily protected enclaves in those countries? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Individuals with professional skills who are fleeing Syria and Iraq will find work and can be easily absorbed, although this represents a major human capital loss for the future of these countries. However, the overwhelming majority of the refugees are young men with minimal education and few skills to offer. They will not readily find employment. There is no evidence, thus far, of armies of jihadist agents or sleepers among the refugees, but as a class, large numbers of young, jobless men coming from violent environments need close attention. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Refugees running from the conflicts in Syria and Iraq pose a threat to the stability of the region and raise security concerns beyond it. This is not an argument against opening doors to refugees, but good intentions alone will not suffice. If the international community is to avoid seeing the emergence of a population of new Palestinians lasting decades into the future, it will have to craft a more coherent approach. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is truly a great pleasure for me to finally visit Timor-Leste. As I was President of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) whenTimor-Leste became independent on May 20, 2002, I have always felt a special bond withTimor-Leste. This is why I am truly delighted that Ms. Noeleen Heyzer, the Special Adviser of the United Nations Secretary General forTimor-Leste, has arranged this very special and sentimental visit toTimor-Leste.On April 26, 2002, when Xanana Gusmão and Mari Alkatiri visited the UNSC, we had a debate in the UNSC on the future of Timor-Leste.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I said: “The lesson of the history of the past few decades is relatively clear: independence, even if it comes after a hard-fought struggle, may still be a relatively easy victory. Success after independence, unfortunately, has been relatively rare.” Since Timor-Leste became independent under very difficult circumstances as a conflict-afflicted country, it is remarkable how far it has come. Still, it has a long way to go.The history of the post-colonial period shows that few newly-independent countries have succeeded. It is therefore remarkable how well Singapore has done.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was 17 years old when Singapore became independent in 1965. There was total gloom and doom when Singapore was expelled from Malaysia. At independence, Singapore was poor and struggling. The GDP per capita was $500 – the same as Ghana. I myself felt the pinch of poverty – I was so undernourished as a child that in elementary school, I was placed on a special feeding programme. Singapore was also struggling in other aspects. There were ethnic riots on the streets. I remember seeing men cutting each other with beer bottles at my doorsteps. Against this backdrop, Singapore’s current success is truly amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, Singapore has one of the highest HDIs in the world – 9th in the world with a score of 0.901. Singapore has the 4th-highest GDP per capita in the world at $76,237 (in PPP terms), nearly double that of its former colonial master, the UK ($37,017). More than one in six households have $1 million in cash savings. In the past decade alone, the number of Singaporeans running their own business has doubled. The US is the only other country in the world with more entrepreneurs-per-capita. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Singapore has consistently ranked as one of the best cities in the world to live in. People from all over the world come to our small city-state – attracted by our state-of-the-art education and health systems. We are also ranked consistently as one of the safest countries in the world.</div>
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">10 reasons for Singapore’s success</span></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: red;"></span></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The big question is: how and why did Singapore succeed? Unfortunately, we still do not have a good history book on Singapore. There is no consensus. In my efforts to understand why Singapore succeeded, I came up with 10 reasons. I am sharing these 10 reasons with you in the hope that it will be helpful to Timor-Leste in the coming 50 years. I believe that Timor-Leste can be as successful as Singapore. This is why I want to share the reasons for Singapore’s success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first reason is that <strong><span style="color: grey;">Singapore</span></strong> has been lucky. By an accident of fate, Singapore, like the United States, <strong><span style="color: grey;">was blessed with good founding fathers, such as Lee Kuan Yew, S. Rajaratnam, and Goh Keng Swee.</span> </strong>These were 3 amazing individuals. I worked with all three of them. They were intellectually brilliant. They were totally dedicated to improving the lives of Singaporeans. They were also good learners. For example, Goh Keng Swee learned from the Meiji reformers in Japan. Hence, they formulated policies which benefited Singaporeans. Timor-Leste is as blessed as Singapore. It has also been blessed with good founding fathers, such as Xanana Gusmão, Mari Alkatiri, and Jose Ramos Horta. Timor-Leste has this in common with Singapore. With the right leadership in place, countries can succeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The second reason why Singapore succeeded was the implementation of meritocracy by its founding leaders.</span> <span style="color: grey;">They selected other good people to lead the country and laid down meritocracy as the cornerstone of public service appointments.</span></strong> As Lee Kuan Yew himself said, “A strong political leadership needs a neutral, efficient, honest civil service. Officers must be recruited and promoted completely on merit. They have to share the same nation-building philosophy and development goals of the political leaders. They must be adequately paid so that temptations would not be difficult to resist. An impartial, capable Public Service Commission had to be shrewd at assessing character. Appointments, awards of scholarships must be made to the best candidates.” This is something that Timor-Leste can do as well. Meritocracy ensures that the best talent in the country is attracted to public service and also serves to create a fair society.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The third reason why Singapore succeeded was the pragmatic outlook of its leaders in terms of their willingness to learn from other countries.</span></strong> As Dr Goh Keng Swee once told me, “Kishore, no matter what problem we encounter, somebody, somewhere has found the solution. Let us find that solution and adapt it intelligently to Singapore.” Singapore is the most pragmatic country in the world and it has copied solutions from all other countries. This is also why Dr Goh studied the Meiji Restoration very carefully. Japan succeeded in becoming the first Asian country to modernise because the young Meiji reformers of that time had no hesitation to study, copy and adapt best practices into Japan from all around the world. Dr Goh tried to inculcate the same spirit of pragmatic learning in Singapore. Few would doubt that he succeeded in this goal. This is something Timor-Leste can do as well. In fact, the Lee Kuan Yew School’s Graduate Education and Executive Education programmes are dedicated to disseminating best practices from Singapore to developing cities across the world. I welcome civil servants from Timor-Leste to attend our programs and learn more about adapting best practices to suit Timor-Leste’s needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">Fourthly, as a small country, Singapore was also pragmatic in its foreign policy.</span></strong> For example, during the Cold War, Singapore was friendly with the United States – but it did not shun the Soviet Union. When I visited the Soviet Union in 1976 with Mr S. Rajaratnam, the legendary Foreign Minister of Singapore, he said that Soviet ships would also be welcome to Singaporean waters. Small states like Singapore and Timor-Leste cannot afford to make enemies. As S. Rajaratnam said in his 1965 speech at the United Nations on Singapore’s foreign policy, “We want to live in peace with all our neighbours simply because we have a great deal to lose by being at war with them. All we therefore ask is to be left alone to reshape and build our country the way our people want it. We have no wish to interfere in the affairs of other countries or tell them how they should order their life. In return we ask other countries to be friendly with us even if they do not like the way we do things in our own country. This is why Singapore has chosen the path of non-alignment.” Pragmatism in foreign policy is something which Timor-Leste can do as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The fifth reason for Singapore’s success was the fact that the leaders focused on starting with small wins.</span> <span style="color: grey;">An incremental approach to policy reforms is advised by many leading academics and scholars of public policy today. But even before these things became common knowledge, the leaders of Singapore recognised the need to make small improvements in order to achieve big changes.</span> </strong>Lee Chiong Giam once said that in the early days, if they could just get a standing pipe in a village to provide water, the governing party would get the villagers’ votes. This would in turn lead to the provision of public housing and schools. Development cannot be achieved through big sweeping reforms alone. Small steps that have a huge impact on the everyday lives of people are necessary to ensure that progress happens in a meaningful way. This is something Timor-Leste can do as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">Sixth, Singapore did not rely on foreign aid to achieve its development goals. As I said in my book</span> </strong><i>The Great Convergence, </i><strong><span style="color: grey;">“I believe that if a large-scale objective study were done of Western foreign aid, it would demonstrate that the primary intention is to enhance the national interests of the donors and not to help the interest of the recipients.”</span></strong> Furthermore, a large chunk (about 80%) of Western aid goes back to the donor country in the form of administration expenses, consultancy fees and contracts for donor country corporations. In short, there is very little actual transfer of aid to the developing countries. Singapore has always distrusted foreign aid. Instead, we believed in trade and investment: We believed that trade, not aid, was the way forward for us. When others shunned investment, Singapore welcomed it. In this regard, the Economic Development Board of Singapore is particularly worth studying. The EDB was set up in 1961 to create economic opportunities and jobs for the people of Singapore, and to help shape Singapore’s economic future. The EDB has been instrumental in Singapore’s success by bringing in FDI, and has been a driving force behind Singapore’s transformation into a financial hub that is at the forefront of several service industries in Asia. This is something which Timor-Leste can do as well. By setting up a one-stop specialised agency that focuses on foreign direct investment, Timor-Leste will also signal to the rest of the world that it means business when it comes to attracting FDI.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The seventh reason for Singapore’s success is its inclusive policy on ethnic groups. Singapore’s main ethnic groups are Chinese, Malay, Indian, and others. So we have four official languages: English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. This way, everyone feels included.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Singapore’s founding father, <strong><span style="color: grey;">S. Rajaratnam, said: “In a multi-racial society, one soon learns that no one people has a monopoly of wisdom and that one’s own culture is not without flaws. This breeds not only tolerance for different viewpoints but also a readiness to learn and borrow from the accumulated wisdom of other people.”</span></strong> It is remarkable that among the five small multi-racial states that the British decolonized all over the world (namely Guyana, Cyprus, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Fiji), Singapore was the only one to avoid ethnic strife.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a multi-racial society, if there is no common language, the people cannot communicate. That is why the main language of instruction in Singapore schools is English. Singapore made English its common language for pragmatic reasons. Firstly, English was a neutral language. If another language, like Mandarin, had been chosen as the common language, non-Chinese Singaporeans would have felt marginalised. Secondly, English is the international language of commerce. Knowing English, Singaporeans would be able to do business with people from around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Timor-Leste can also improve English literacy by teaching it in schools. It can also ask the parents of the children to choose if they want their children to learn English, Portuguese or Tetum, I believe many of them will start to ask for English, so that their children can work with people from all around the world. But they can still learn Tetum or Portuguese as well, so that they will remain in touch with their rich cultural and historical roots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The eighth reason for Singapore’s success is that its leaders, like Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Keng Swee, believed in thinking long-term</span></strong>. For example, though Singapore had signed a 100-year water agreement with Malaysia in 1961, we knew that Malaysia could threaten us by cutting our water supply. Thus, we invested in ways to get our own sources of water. We built reservoirs, desalination plants and water reclamation facilities. In March 2013, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources, said: “We will certainly be water independent well before the expiry of the last agreement with Malaysia.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Timor-Leste can also think long-term. For example, unlike Singapore, Timor-Leste has abundant oil and gas resources. But these oil and gas reserves will not last forever. So Timor-Leste can now think ahead about how to solve the problems which it could face when that day comes. Norway, for example, has invested its oil and gas money in a big sovereign wealth fund. Only 4% of the surplus from the fund is spent on public projects. I am glad to learn that Timor Leste is following the example of Norway in this area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The ninth reason for Singapore’s success is that it avoided populist measures. Singapore has always been opposed to the welfare state.</span></strong> Former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew said, “Watching the ever-increasing costs of the welfare system in Britain and Sweden, we decided to avoid this debilitating system. We noted by the 1970s that when governments undertook primary responsibility for the basic duties of the head of the family, the drive in people weakened. Welfare undermined self-reliance. People did not have to work for their families’ well-being. The handout became a way of life… They became dependent on the state for their basic needs.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The welfare state is too expensive for developing countries. It also undermines productivity. However, even though Singapore did not become a welfare state, it cared deeply about the welfare of its people. Singapore found other ways to make sure that its people would be well provided for. It invested in the welfare of its people through universal education, quality healthcare, affordable public housing and public transportation. In addition, it set up the Central Provident Fund, a compulsory savings fund. Singaporeans and their employers automatically contribute some money to this fund when they receive their salaries every month, and the money can be used to buy a house, for medical expenses, and, primarily, as a retirement fund.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Singapore also has trade unions, but they are pragmatic. The government, unions and employers cooperate in a tripartite system, which, as Mr Lee Kuan Yew says, “has brought benefits to workers, the government and employers because industrial peace creates confidence and increases foreign investments. Whenever employers make above average rates of return on capital, profits are shared.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, Timor-Leste can avoid the costs of welfare state spending by finding its own innovative methods of cooperating with employers and workers to make sure that employees can earn a fair wage to support themselves, and to make sure that every employee is able to save enough to provide for their own health care, housing, and retirement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: grey;">The tenth and final reason for Singapore’s success is honesty. This is the most challenging to achieve.</span> <span style="color: grey;">The first generation of Singaporean leaders were brutally honest.</span></strong> In 1975, a minister of state was invited by a businessman friend to go on holiday. He said no, because he didn’t have the money, but the businessman offered to pay. So he went, and he was arrested when he came back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: grey;"><strong>When there is honesty, the people and the investors will trust that government policies are meant to benefit the country, not to benefit the politicians.</strong> </span>Only then will they feel confident in the leadership. This also creates a more stable political system, which gives investors peace of mind. Thus, a remarkable degree of honesty in a country’s leadership will lead to success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although some may be difficult to replicate, these ten reasons are all things that other countries can do. But it is important to adapt these principles to the local context.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When many people visit Singapore today and see a modern city-state, they tend to assume that Singapore was always like that. Actually, Singapore was one of the poorest and most unlucky countries when it achieved independence. It had no natural resources. This is why it is useful to study Singapore’s experience. If Singapore can succeed against the odds, other countries can do so also. This is why I am happy to come to Timor-Leste to share Singapore’s experience. I hope that it will be helpful to all of you.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you so much, President Faust, Fellows of the Corporation, Overseers, Ladies and Gentlemen, and graduates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To the graduates in particular, I have to tell you, you’re way ahead of me already. I never made it to my commencement, either from college or graduate school. I went to college south of here, in a small town called New Haven, Connecticut. And, well, I celebrated a bit the night before the ceremony. The honest truth is, I slept through much of my commencement. Then, after I had finally made it to Harvard for graduate school, I took a job before I had finished my Ph.D., and wrote the final chapters while working in New York. I couldn’t get away from work for Commencement, and I got my degree in the mail. So, 19 years later, it is a great honor to receive, in person, a Harvard degree.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Harvard was, for me, a revelation. Contrary to the conventional wisdom on this campus, it is possible to receive a fine education at Yale, and I did. But Harvard’s great graduate programs have an ambition, energy, and range that, for me, made it a dazzling, electric experience. Getting a Ph.D. involves many hours of grueling work, but, if you do it right, also many hours of goofing off with friends, acquiring new hobbies and interests, and working your way through the great resources here — from the libraries to cafes. I fully availed myself of these opportunities, and the time spent not working (in a formal sense) was as valuable as the hours in seminar rooms. I learned from students, faculty, and visitors. Harvard is really where I learned to think, and I owe this University a deep debt of gratitude, as most of you do as well — something the University will remind you of from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always been wary of making commencement speeches because I don’t think of myself as old enough to have any real wisdom to impart on such an august occasion. I’d like to think I’m still vaguely post-graduate. But there’s nothing like having kids to remind me of how deeply uncool I am. So I accept this task, with some trepidation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best commencement speech I ever read was by the humorist Art Buchwald. He was brief, saying simply, “Remember, we are leaving you a perfect world. Don’t screw it up.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You are not going to hear that message much these days. Instead, you’re likely to hear that we are living through grim economic times, that the graduates are entering the slowest recovery since the Great Depression. The worries are not just economic. Ever since 9/11, we have lived in an age of terror, and our lives remain altered by the fears of future attacks and a future of new threats and dangers. Then there are larger concerns that you hear about: The Earth is warming; we’re running out of water and other vital resources; we have a billion people on the globe trapped in terrible poverty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, I want to sketch out for you, perhaps with a little bit of historical context, the world as I see it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The world we live in is, first of all, at peace — profoundly at peace. The richest countries of the world are not in geopolitical competition with one another, fighting wars, proxy wars, or even engaging in arms races or “cold wars.” This is a historical rarity. You would have to go back hundreds of years to find a similar period of great power peace. I know that you watch a bomb going off in Afghanistan or hear of a terror plot in this country and think we live in dangerous times. But here is the data. The number of people who have died as a result of war, civil war, and, yes, terrorism, is down 50 percent this decade from the 1990s. It is down 75 percent from the preceding five decades, the decades of the Cold War, and it is, of course, down 99 percent from the decade before that, which is World War II. Steven Pinker says that we are living in the most peaceful times in human history, and he must be right because he is a Harvard professor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The political stability we have experienced has allowed the creation of a single global economic system, in which countries around the world are participating and flourishing. In 1980, the number of countries that were growing at 4 percent a year — robust growth — was around 60. By 2007, it had doubled. Even now, after the financial crisis, that number is more than 80. Even in the current period of slow growth, keep in mind that the global economy as a whole will grow 10 to 20 percent faster this decade than it did a decade ago, 60 percent faster than it did two decades ago, and five times as fast as it did three decades ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The result: The United Nations estimates that poverty has been reduced more in the past 50 years than in the previous 500 years. And much of that reduction has taken place in the last 20 years. The average Chinese person is 10 times richer than he or she was 50 years ago — and lives for 25 years longer. Life expectancy across the world has risen dramatically. We gain five hours of life expectancy every day — without even exercising! A third of all the babies born in the developed world this year will live to be 100.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All this is because of rising standards of living, hygiene, and, of course, medicine. Atul Gawande, a Harvard professor who is also a practicing surgeon, and who also writes about medicine for The New Yorker, writes about a 19th century operation in which the surgeon was trying to amputate his patient’s leg. He succeeded — at that — but accidentally amputated his assistant’s finger as well. Both died of sepsis, and an onlooker died of shock. It is the only known medical procedure to have a 300 percent fatality rate. We’ve come a long way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To understand the astonishing age of progress we are living in, you just look at the cellphones in your pockets. (Many of you have them out and were already looking at them. Don’t think I can’t see you.) Your cellphones have more computing power than the Apollo space capsule. That capsule couldn’t even Tweet! So just imagine the opportunities that lie ahead. Moore’s Law — that computing power doubles every 18 months while costs half — may be slowing down in the world of computers, but it is accelerating in other fields. The human genome is being sequenced at a pace faster than Moore’s Law. A “Third Industrial Revolution,” involving material science and the customization of manufacturing, is yet in its infancy. And all these fields are beginning to intersect and produce new opportunities that we cannot really foresee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The good news goes on. Look at the number of college graduates globally. It has risen fourfold in the last four decades for men, but it has risen sevenfold for women. I believe that the empowerment of women, whether in a village in Africa or a boardroom in America, is good for the world. If you are wondering whether women are in fact smarter than men, the evidence now is overwhelming: yes. My favorite example of this is a study done over the last 25 years in which it found that female representatives in the House of Congress were able to bring back $49 million more in federal grants than their male counterparts. So it turns out women are better than men even at pork-barrel spending. We can look forward to a world enriched and ennobled by women’s voices.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now you might listen to me and say “This is all wonderful for the world at large, but what does this mean for America?” Well, for America and for most places, peace and broader prosperity — “the rise of the rest” — means more opportunities. I remind you that this is a country that still has the largest and most dynamic economy in the world, that dominates the age of technology, that hosts hundreds of the world’s greatest companies, that houses its largest, deepest capital markets, and that has almost all of the world’s greatest universities. There is no equivalent of Harvard in China or India, nor will there be one for decades, perhaps longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The United States is also a vital society. It is the only country in the industrialized world that is demographically vibrant. We add 3,000,000 people to the country every year. That itself is a powerful life force, and it is made stronger by the fact that so many of these people are immigrants. They — I should say we — come to this country with aspirations, with hunger, with drive, with determination, and with a fierce love for America. By 2050, America will have a better demographic profile than China. This country has its problems, but I would rather have America’s problems than most any other place in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I tell you that we live in an age of progress, I am not urging complacency — far from it. We have had daunting challenges over the last 100 years: a depression, two world wars, a Cold War, 9/11, and global economic crisis. But we have overcome them by our response. Human action and human achievement have managed to tackle terrible problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We forget our successes. In 2009, the H1N1 virus broke out in Mexico. Now, if you looked back at the trajectory of these kinds of viruses, it is quite conceivable this one would have spread like the Asian flu in 1957 or 1968, in which 4,000,000 people died. But this time, the Mexican health authorities identified the problem early, shared the information with the WHO, learned best practices fast, tracked down where the outbreak began, quarantined people, and vaccinated others. The country went on a full-scale alert, banning any large gatherings. In a Catholic country, you couldn’t go to church for three Sundays. Perhaps more importantly, you couldn’t go to soccer matches either. The result was that the virus was contained, to the point where, three months later, people wondered what the big fuss was and asked if we had all overreacted. We didn’t overreact; we reacted, we responded, and we solved the problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are other examples. In the 12 months following the economic peak in 2008, industrial production fell by as much as it did in the first year of the depression. Equity prices and global trade fell more. Yet this time, no Great Depression followed. Why? Because of the coordinated actions of governments around the world. 9/11 did not usher in an age of terrorism, with al-Qaeda going from strength to strength. Why? Because countries cooperated in fighting them and other terror groups, with considerable success. When we can come together, when we cooperate, when we put aside petty differences, the results are astounding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, when we look at the problems we face — economic crises, terrorism, climate change, resource scarcity — keep in mind that these problems are real, but also that the human reaction and response to them will also be real. We can more easily map out the big problem than the thousands of individual actions governments, firms, organizations, and people will take that will constitute the solution.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a sense, I’m betting on the graduates in this great audience. I believe that your actions will have consequences. Your efforts will make a difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And turning to the graduates, I know I am expected to provide some advice at a commencement. Should you go into nanotechnology or bioengineering? What are the industries of the future? Honestly, I have no idea. But one thing I do know is that human beings will reward and honor those talents of heart and mind they have always honored for thousands of years: intelligence, hard work, discipline, courage, loyalty and, perhaps above all, love and a generosity of spirit. Those are the qualities that, at the end of the day, make you live a great life, one that is rewarded by the outside world, and a good life, one that is rewarded only by those who know you best. These are the virtues that people honor, that they built statues for 5,000 years ago. Well, nobody builds statues anymore. They build weird, modernist sculptures with strange pieces of metal falling off of them, but you get my idea. Trust yourself; you know what you should do. You know the kind of life you should live. You don’t need an ethics course to know what you shouldn’t do. Just trust in your instincts, be true to them, and you will make for yourself a great and a good life. And, in doing so, you will change the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I said that at my age I don’t feel competent to give you much advice, but <strong><span style="color: grey;">I will give you one last piece of wisdom that comes with age. For all of you who are graduating students or, really, anyone who is still young, trust me. You cannot possibly understand the love that your parents have for you until you have children of your own. Once you have your own kids, their strange behavior will suddenly make sense. But don’t wait that long. On this day of all days, give them a hug, and tell them that you love them.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and to the graduates of Harvard University’s Class of 2012, Godspeed.<br />

Sad and horrible 2014 - Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah<br />
January 01, 2015<br />
<br />
It has been a sad and horrible 2014 for all Malaysians. The news, of economic trends, man-made (the two MH and the latest AirAsia airplane crashes, and the Cameron Highlands landslides) and natural disasters (the floods), and of political and ethnic relations setbacks, all made last year our annus horribilis.<br />
<br />
Little wonder Malaysia, long tiring of being bogged down by negativities, is overdue for some positive and lifting news in 2015.<br />
<br />
Doubtless we have made great strides since Independence. Our people are invariably better fed, more educated and on the whole more prosperous. But we are seemingly not that happy, much less satisfied. Relative to our potential as a people, goaded on by our very own diversity, many think we<br />
can do more towards a new vision of development. And in comparison with our neighbours, we are some years behind some of them.<br />
<br />
As we enter the New Year, we are reminded of how far we have deviated from the original path of economic, political and social development set by our founding fathers six decades ago. Some of the more serious developments, such as the increasing polarisation in race relations, the narrowing of perspectives on religion and religious practices long accepted, the many intractable and new imbalances and inequalities in our economy, and a politics that clouds the vision of a maturing democratic system, seem to have set everything back by a few decades.<br />
<br />
We have to find solutions to our current economic troubles, whether these involve the negative impact of falling oil prices on government finances, or the rising cost of living and household indebtedness, or the profound social consequences of corruption, or inequalities in income and wealth in terms of access to proper housing, high-paying jobs, or helplessness of new poverty. We need to improve the quality of our health and education system and make better use of the public dollar.<br />
<br />
We need to stabilise our political system by reaffirming the Federal Constitution, reform of how politics is funded, and clean up our electoral and party system so as to establish more consistent and fairer electoral outcomes in order to protect our emerging democracy. We need also to secure our borders, and guarantee the safety of our citizens at home, at work or on the streets.<br />
<br />
To achieve a new deal for our nation and its people, we also need our systems of law and governance to be put right. With a determined leadership, I think these negative trends can and must be reversed.<br />
<br />
Let us reset the economics, unchain the politics and release the common energy locked in our collective hearts diminished by everything that tries to differentiate us. Let us put all things right, and do the right thing by us, everyone of us: Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks, Muruts, Kadazan Dusun,<br />
Bidayuh, Orang Asal, Penan, all. And let us not leave anyone behind. Let us not envy the successful, but honour them; let us not let down the downtrodden, but lift them; and let us not succumb to disappointment, but give them hope.<br />
<br />
I call on all Malaysians, of every colour, creed and religion, to caste aside our differences and come together as one true Malaysian people. Let us all pray to God for guidance and deliverance.<br />
<br />
I would like to wish everyone, young and old, a Happy and Prosperous New Year. - January 1, 2015.<br />

<span style="color: maroon;"><b>So this means there are boundaries and limits to free speech. And the government and/or society define these boundaries of free speech. And you are not allowed to cross this boundary or limit or else you will be condemned and/or punished.</b></span><br />
<b>NO HOLDS BARRED</b><br />
<b>Raja Petra Kamarudin</b><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris has triggered a debate in the UK, France, Germany, and so on, regarding freedom of speech. Sky and BBC have called the Paris massacre an attack on free speech.<br />
While the majority interviewed by Sky and BBC condemned the attacks as an example of Muslims being too sensitive and of not respecting or tolerating free speech, there are others who feel that the boundaries of free speech need to be defined.<br />
<br />
As to whether the journalists and cartoonists of Charlie Hebdo crossed the line of free speech or not is a separate debate. As to the way they were punished is probably more of concern. Even if they did cross the line the punishment is way in excess of the ‘crime’.<br />
<br />
In our modern, and hence we can also assume civilised society, violence can never be the response to however you may feel you have been hurt or insulted. Therefore the Paris massacre can never be justified however hurt or insulted you may feel.<br />
<br />
The issue is: how far can we go in upholding free speech? Are there any limits or boundaries to free speech? Is the sky the limit to how far we are allowed to express what we feel?<br />
In the outrage against the Paris massacre we will certainly focus on the violence and ignore the other and also important issue: where do we draw the line of free speech. Without trying to sound as if I support or am trying to justify the attacks — which I do not — we must not lose track of the fact that free speech does have its limits, even in Europe.<br />
<br />
For example, I cannot wear a Nazi Swastika on my arm and say that I am just exercising my right of expressing my support of the Holocaust. I cannot even dispute the Holocaust and say that I doubt it happened and even if it did it is not possible that six million Jews were killed.<br />
If I say this is sheer propaganda and a story fabricated with no evidence, I would be arrested in some countries and heavily condemned in others. Free speech does not extend to disputing the Holocaust or showing support for the Nazis.<br />
<br />
Even if I use the anti-Islam or Prophet Muhammad cartoons as my justification to express my opinion regarding the Holocaust and the Nazis, this can never be accepted. I cannot argue that if you have the freedom to insult Islam then I, too, have the freedom to say what I want regarding the Holocaust and the Nazis.<br />
<br />
So, Europe, too, sets a limit as to what you can and cannot say in expressing your opinion and in your exercising of free speech.<br />
<br />
The question here is who defines these boundaries or limits? You set the boundaries and limits. I have no say in that decision. And I have to conduct myself according to those boundaries and limits that you have set and which I played no part in and never agreed to.<br />
I can fly an Israeli flag outside my house. That is not a crime. But if I fly a banner that says <i>‘Israel is a terrorist state’</i> I would most likely get into trouble.<br />
<br />
I will also get into trouble if I fly an IS (Islamic State) flag outside my house. But if I fly a banner that says <i>‘IS is a terrorist organisation and they should all be put to death’ </i>that is not a problem.<br />
Hence support for Israel is kosher. However, support for the enemies of Israel is <i>haram</i>. Do I have the freedom to express my opinion? Definitely not! You have to do the politically correct thing.<br />
In Malaysia it is also the same. I can say that the Malays should not call the non-Malays <i>pendatang</i> because the Malays, too, migrated to Malaya from what is now called Indonesia. But if I say that if the Chinese and Indians are not happy then they can go back to China or India I would be condemned.<br />
<br />
Who decided this boundary or limit? Why is it okay to whack the Malays but not the others? Who made the decision that it is kosher to whack the Malays but if you whack the others you are a racist?<br />
The Muslims are allowed to say that the Bible is a fake and that the Christian doctrine, especially Catholicism, is heresy. Malaysian Muslims are allowed to call the Shias deviants who are not really Muslims. But if you say that the Qur’an is a fake and that Islam is actually a violent religion and not a religion of peace (and that is the reason for the Paris attacks) you will get arrested.<br />
<br />
Kassim Ahmad has an opinion regarding the Hadith. And when he was asked his opinion and he gave it, they arrested him and put him on trial. So, Kassim Ahmad must go to jail because he has an opinion and because he expressed his opinion. Hence there is no freedom of opinion and freedom of speech after all.<br />
<br />
So this means there are boundaries and limits to free speech. And the government and/or society define these boundaries of free speech. And you are not allowed to cross this boundary or limit or else you will be condemned and/or punished.<br />
<br />
Hence the Paris attacks should be condemned. But they should be condemned because of the violence and deaths. These attacks, however, should not be treated as an attack on free speech because one man’s free speech is another man’s crime. To condemn the attacks as an attack on free speech is giving the impression that anything goes in the interest of free speech, and this is definitely not the case even in Europe.<br />

<br />
