UFO HIGHWAY AN EARLY LAILATUL QADAR IN RAMADHAN 1429 KL?
I managed to wait that morning, 8 September 2008, KL view from Subang Jaya Apartment, view angle from east to west available, opposite can view the Genting and Hulu Langat Hills, on left can view Shah Alam and facing the Federal Highway, I stood there at the verandah right after Subuh Prayer, from 630 am to 7.30 am, heavy cloud grey-black covering KL city and entire states since 3 days prior to that day, no yellow sun light, but that morning, I must catch the glimpse of the sunrise, I missed them, then the sunrise started, glow of yellow far at the easterly, above the Hulu Langat Hills and even further than that, it was not as clear, due to the clouds hoverined over thick thick mushroomed blanketed like below the light. Aperture in my eyes well below 3, light enetering my eyes well below 1/25, gloomy look over KL like a thunder storm just happened and brightened up by the reflection of the skies in white. True enough, there were glows of light of that white skies, and a drifter kind of skies in dark grey-black color like crossing from the above to below, like there’s some movement of wind, strong wind happened at night..i kept on watching, hoping that yellow sunrise colour will eventually penetrate the blanketed dark clouds..YES, that’s is it, in between the glow of that yellow, I saw a line, like a tube, a straw like with shining on the easterly wall that reflect the sunrise, shines, shines, shines, and that transparently penetrate the other wall inside that tube-like straw looking..it formed in circle, but i managed to see 1/3 of that full circle, a beutaiful arrays of sunrise lights glitters them, and way above behind it is a long straw of the same straw-alike look direction from the above skies and tail-ends in smokey-line tail way above-upwards..NOT STRANGE to me..back in 1997, I saw few stars look like, and they turn change colour from white to yellow and red, and I always and still having the faith that there is a highway to the galactic, IF EVER MOHAMAD THE PROPHET WERE FLOWN UPWARDS..there must be a highway to meet GOD..

Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
by Cristian Negureanu
Posted: 13:30 July 9, 2007
Both Sumerian writings and the Bible mention the “Deep waters”, the “Lower world”, etc. A few examples: “The Greek word “abyssos”, which is derived from the Acadian “apsu”, also means an extremely deep abyss… the Mesopotamian writings mention the Land of the Mines stating that this was a rocky land, with vast plains covered with grass and steppe and a flourishing vegetation (where the Nephilims, “the fallen angels” and the giants, their offspring, extracted metals and especially the gold needed on the planet Eris/ Nibiru – A/N)… hence, it was a bright place, a world of sunshine, all the texts described the same landscape,” (Z. Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet, Aldopress Publishing House, Bucharest).
“Have you walked (question asked by Yahweh/ Anu, the ruler of the Planet of Gods, to Job – A/N) in the lowest parts of the deep?” (Job 38:16). “In His (Yahweh/ Anu) hand are the deep places of the Earth” (Psalms 95:4). You can also read about this land in “The Hollow Earth” written by Dr. Raymond Bernard (Aldopress Publishing House), a book referring to the hollow interior of the Earth which is lightened by a central son and can be reached through the two polar openings (other planets of our solar system have a similar configuration). The same issue was also developed in “Arrival of the Gods” – www.miracol.ro. Opinions of several explorers who reached the inside of the Earth:
Dumbrova, Russian explorer, December, 1929: “The memorable December 12th discovery of heretofore unknown land beyond the South Pole by Capt. Sir George Hubert Wilkins, demands that science change the concept it has had for the past four hundred years concerning the southern contour of the earth.”
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd:
1) “I’d like to see that land beyond the North Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the center of the Great Unknown.” (the 1st of February, 1947). This statement was made before his seven-hour flight of 1,700 miles beyond the North Pole.
Dr. R. Bernard said: “Admiral Byrd did not fly 1,700 miles across the North Pole to the other side of the earth, a frozen icy waste, like the region from which he came – but flew beyond the Pole into the polar opening leading to the hollow interior of the earth, traversing an iceless region of mountains, lakes, rivers, green vegetation and animal life.”
2) “This is the most important expedition in the history of the world,” said Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, before departing to explore land beyond the South Pole (November, 1955). “On January l3th, members of the United States expedition accomplished a flight of 2,700 miles from west of the South Pole, and penetrated a land extent of 2,300 miles beyond the Pole,” (Radio announcement from Byrd’s Antarctic expedition, confirmed by the American press of February 5, 1956.)
3) “That enchanted continent in the sky, land of everlasting mystery” (Rear Admiral Byrd, on March 13, 1956, when he returned from his South Polar expedition).

2. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
According to R. Bernard, Byrd enigmatically referrs to the new and unknown land area he discovered beyond North and South Poles, within the polar concavities; they are beheld here as “an enchanted continent in the sky” due to the well known polar phenomenon of “sky mirror” whereby land areas below are mirrored in the sky. According to the Sumerian texts, the gods have established their spheres of influence before their arrival on Earth: Anu/ Yahweh was to stay in the Heavens and to rule over the Twelfth Planet, Enlil/ Jesus was to commend the lands (the Earth), and Enki/ Ea/ Azazel was put in charge of the “Deep waters”, the “Lower World”, the “Subterranean World”, etc.
The temporary commend of the Earth wielded by Enki/ Ea/ Azazel was repeatedly acknowledged by Messiah Jesus/ Enlil almost 2000 years ago, saying about his brother:
“Now is the judgment of this world. The ruler of this world will be thrown out now.” (John 12:31).
“The prince of this world now stands condemned.” (John 16:11).
In His sacrifice of Himself on the Cross (the symbol of the Planets of Gods), as commanded by Yahweh/ Anu to spread the Truth about the Kingdom all over the world, Jesus/ Enlil proved to be “The Lord of the Command” and fulfilled his father’s will. The Jewish prophets call him “the lamb” because he obeyed the orders received from Yahweh/ Anu. He is also prophesized as “the lion from the tribe of Judah” who will come and implement justice and peace on Earth. Later came the understanding that “the lamb” and “the lion” meant one name: Messiah Jesus/ Enlil. Enki/ Ea will obviously retire into the “Lower World”.
Recent information about the hollow Earth can be found searching Google for “the holes at the poles” (the polar openings: the Nordic one with a diameter of 1400 miles and the South one with a diameter of 1300 miles). NASA took these images with the ESSA 3 and ESSA 7 satellites on January 6, respectively November 23, 1968. The following text accompanied the latter one: “The remarkable photograph taken by the ESSA 7 satellite on 23 November 1968. There is almost no cloud cover; the ice fields on the surface can be observed and the hole at the North Pole can be clearly seen.”
“A huge ocean discovered inside the Earth… beneath eastern Asia that is at least the volume of the Antarctic Ocean…” The discovery was made by Michael Wysession, a seismologist at the Washington State University from St. Louis and Jesse Lawrence from the University of California, San Diego.

Both the Antiquity’s writings and NASA provide information about the hollow Earth:
3. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
1) The spaceport underneath the Earth (many UFOs – Nibirian Flying Objects – are seen nowadays coming in or out from the polar concavities) as described in “The Epic of Gilgamesh”: “Enkidu, of The Epic of Gilgamesh, was condemned by gods to hard labor in the depths of the mines-there to spend the rest of his days. To carry out the sentence and take him to his new home, Enkidu was told, two emissaries “clothed like birds, with wings for garments” shall appear unto him (the flight suits of the gods/ Anunaki/ Elohim/ had wings, thus resulted the naïve faith that angels have wings – A/N). One of them shall transport him to the Land of the Mines; he will be dressed like an Eagle.
By the arm he will lead you…To the House of the Darkness, the abode below the ground (the theory about the devils’ horns was formed because the helmets were provided with small protuberances similar to antennas; it becomes obvious that the Land of the Mines was later named “Hell” – A/N), the abode which none leave who have entered into it. A road from which there is no return, a house whose dwellers are bereft of light (they worked into the mines – A/N), where dust is in their mouths and clay is their food.” (Z. Sitchin, “The Twelfth Planet”, Aldopress Publishing House, Bucharest).
2) “And I looked and turned to another part of the Earth, and saw there a deep valley with burning fire (metal works/ foundries – A/N). And they brought the kings and the mighty. And there my eyes saw their instruments (the tools for digging into the underground mines, and not those “pitch boilers” – A/N) and iron chains of immeasurable weight (some 8000 years ago the patriarch Enoch couldn’t give a better name to plastic handcuffs – A/N).
3) “For the Lord (Yahweh/ Anu, the ruler of the Planet of Gods – A/N) is a great God (the Annunaki/ Elohim are His servants, small gods – A/N), and a great King above all gods. In whose hand are the depths of the Earth (Psalms 95:4).
4) “I looked at the Earth and it was… empty” (Jeremiah 4:23).
5) “The Earth is hollow. The Poles, so long sought, are phantoms. There are openings at the northern and southern extremities. In the interior are vast continents, oceans, mountains and rivers. Vegetable and animal life are evident in this New World and it is probably peopled by races unknown to dwellers on the Earth’s surface” (William Reed, American thinker, the first to present the theory of the hollow Earth with openings at the Poles, author of the book “The Phantom of the Poles”).
6) Even though the Vatican is hiding tones of materials about Jesus/ Enlil only to preserve its idolater religion, some information on His visit to the “Depths” (in His New Elohim body to which His immortal, spiritual body was connected after the Crucifixion) escaped the censorship of the “red dogs” of the Inquisition.
“Christ… having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit (he could materialize and dematerialize within the new body – A/N) in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison ” (1 Peter 3:18-19).
4. Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
“Who will descend into the Deep? (to raise Christ from among the dead ones) (Romans 10:7).
“What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended into the lower regions of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens (the Planet of the Cross, Eris/ Nibiru – A/N), that he might fill all things.” (Ephesians 4 : 9 – 10).
7) “When the gods descended from the heavens down to the Earth, all the Antiquity’s writings confirm this, the man has not been yet created: hence, the Annunaki were those in charge with the mining… discipline must have been strict, for the text tells us “The seven Great Anunnaki were making the lesser gods suffer the work.” Of all their chores, it seems, digging was the most common, the most arduous, and the most abhorred. The lesser gods dug up the river beds to make them navigable; they dug canals for irrigation; and they brought up the minerals of Earth. Though they undoubtedly had some sophisticated tools – the texts spoke of the “silver axe which shines as the day,” even underground – the work was too exhausting.” The creation of men followed.
8) “And now the angels are building prisons… The judgement wherewith the angels are judged is a testimony for the kings and the mighty who possess the Earth… Each by their guilt, they will undergo various chores” (“The Book of Enoch” – chapters 66, 68).
9) “And do not think in your spirit nor say in your heart that “you do not know and that you do not see”; for every sin is every day revealed (recorded – A/N) in Heaven (Eris/ Nibiru – A/N) all your oppression wherewith you oppress is written down every day till the day of your judgment.” (“The Book of Enoch” – chapter 96).
10) Messiah Jesus/ Enlil: “Throw him into the outer darkness (the darkness and the heat inside me – A/N); in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Mathew 22:13).
11) The Koran: “Verily with us are heavy fetters and hell-fire and food that chokes, and mighty woe” (Sura 73:12, 13).
12) NASA’s news and reference information. The existence of a central sun underneath the Earth offers the practical solution of what the auroras really are. On the 16th of February 2007 NASA was undertaking the Themis mission to investigate the polar openings. The Themis satellites are coordinated by the University of Berkeley, California during the two-year mission. Those interested can watch a 10 seconds video made by NASA, which clearly shows the Aurora coming out of the polar opening: on http://www.youtube.com at Aurora Australis Hollow Earth Evidence. Details on http://www.google.com at: hollow planet.blogspot.com.
The Russian icebreaker YAMAL will head towards the North Pole on an expedition to conduct scientific observations in the Arctic. The expedition is set between June 26 and July 19, 2007; 100 persons are expected to take part. Details on www.voyagehollowearth.com.

The Hollow Earth ‘Theory’
Mysterious creatures living deep under Earth’s surface came from space
by Jacqueline Lee NewsNet Staff Writer. Posted May 2, 2006.
A belief that the earth is hollow and inhabited within has caused a Provo man to plan an expedition to the North Pole and possibly to the earth’s interior.
Steve Curry owns an expedition company in Provo. For over forty years he has organized fly-fishing, kayaking, river rafting and trekking trips around the world. Many locations of his trips are exotic and fascinating, but his next destination is something way out of the ordinary.
Curry was contacted by Rodney Cluff, author of “World Top Secret: Our Earth is Hollow,” to organize an expedition to the interior of the earth. In his book, Cluff explains the theory of the hollow earth.
There is no guarantee the expedition will find anything, but if nothing else, the people will get to go to the North Pole and the Siberian Islands, Curry said.
Curry has chartered a nuclear icebreaker with the capacity for 108 passengers for the purpose of taking a group to find the polar opening.
The expedition is scheduled for June 26 to July 19, 2005.
Curry said people from all over the world have expressed interest in going on the expedition.
“I am getting three to four calls a day about it,” Curry said.
Passengers will have to come up with the funds to pay for the expedition. Costs range from $18,950 to $20,950 per person.
According to a survey done by LDS author R. Clayton Brough, 4 percent of the LDS population believes in the hollow earth theory and that it is a probable explanation for the location of the lost 10 tribes.
Cluff has been investigating the theory for years.
“I firmly believe there is a substantial amount of scientific, historical and scriptural evidence to support the theory,” he said.
The expedition will go to the North Pole in search of the polar opening, which Cluff said he believes is marked by land about five degrees from the pole.
Past explorers and indigenous Eskimos have reported seeing a mirage of land in that vicinity.
According to Cluff, there are some people in the government who are aware of the opening to the inner earth but have tried to keep that knowledge hidden from the public.
“We have indications that the U.S. military does know about it,” he said.
Discovering the inner earth will set off a new age and a revolution in education and all aspects of society, Cluff said.
“We believe that in this expedition we, the people, have a right to know,” he said.
Cluff said has written about religious believe that he expects to be proven when he goes on the expedition. One of the beliefs is that the inner earth is inhabited by the throne of King David from the Bible, and that the political kingdom of God is located there. He also believes that the lost Garden of Eden is in the hallowed earth, and its inhabitants are friendly, highly civilized and mostly members of the lost 10 tribes. Cluff also said the inner sun, which is located in the inner earth, is the throne of Jehovah and a paradise for the dead.
Other beliefs he said he hopes to prove include that UFOs originate from the inner earth, and solar winds and the inner sun cause the northern lights.
The only other record that exists of any sort of expedition to the inner earth is from explorer Admiral Byrd. According to the belief, Admiral Byrd flew through the inner earth in 1947, Cluff said.

The kingdom of this inner society is called Agharta with the main city of Shamballa. Those places referenced in the image above, lie inward and have also an inward sky with clouds. The Central Sun is inside of Earth. Tunnel entrances to Inner Earth (as suggested in the diagram — click on the diagram to view a larger version):

The most strange hint is that the Center of Gravity is not the center of Earth, but also a sub-sphere or a layer quite 200 miles below of the surface we live.
In the Inner Earth
On February 19, 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd left Base Camp Artic and flew northward.
What happened on that flight?
For years rumors have persisted that on his historic flight to the North Pole, Admiral Byrd flew beyond the Pole into an opening leading inside the Earth. Here he met with advanced beings who had a sobering message for him to deliver to Mankind an the Surface World.
Upon Byrd’s return to Washington, on March 11, 1947 he was interviewed intently by top security forces and a medical team. He was placed under strict control and ordered to remain silent on the behalf of humanity. Being a military man, he felt he had to comply.
Here, from Admiral Byrd’s secret log and diary, is the message meant to have been heard 45 years ago!
Excerpt of The Hollow Earth (no ISBN):
“During his Arctic flight of 1,700 miles BEYOND the North Pole he reported by radio that he saw below him, not ice and snow, but land areas consisting of mountains, forests, green vegetation, lakes and rivers, and in the underbrush saw a strange animal resembling the mammoth….”
“In January, 1956, Admiral Byrd led another expedition to the Antarctic and there penetrated for 2,300 miles BEYOND the South Pole. The radio announcement at this time (January 13, 1956) said: “On January 13, members of the United States expedition penetrated a land extent of 2,300 miles BEYOND the Pole. The Flight was made by Rear Admiral George Dufek of the United States Navy Air Unit.” Byrd said on March 13, 1956, “The present expedition has opened up a vast new land.”
Admiral Byrd said in February, 1947 before his North Pole flight, “I’d like to see that land beyond the Pole. That area beyond the Pole is the center of the great unknown.”
Excerpt of A Flight to the Land Beyond the North Pole:
“I bid you welcome to our domain, Admiral.” I see a man with delicate features and with the etching of years upon his face. He is seated at a long table. He motions me to sit down in one of the chairs. After I am seated, he places his fingertips together and smiles. He speaks softly again, and conveys the following. “We have let you enter here because you are of noble character and well-known on the Surface World, Admiral.”
“Surface World,” I half-gasp under my breath! “Yes,” the Master replies with a smile, “you are in the domain of the Arianni, the Inner World of the Earth. We shall not long delay your mission, and you will be safely escorted back to the surface and for a distance beyond. But now. Admiral, I shall tell you why you have been summoned here. Our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the ‘Flugelrads,’ to your surface world to investigate what your race had done. “That is, of course, past history now, my dear Admiral, but I must continue on. You see, we have never interfered before in your race’s wars, and barbarity, but now we must, for you have leamed to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely, that of atomic energy. Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our culture and science is many thousands of years beyond your race, Admiral.” I interrupted, “But what does this have to do with me, Sir?”
The master’s eyes seemed to penetrate deeply into my mind, and after studying me for a few moments he replied, “Your race has now reached the point of no return, for there are those among you who would destroy your very world rather than relinquish their power as they know it….”
I nodded, and the Master continued. “In 1945 and afterward, we tried to contact your race, but our efforts were met with hostility. Our Flugelrads were fired upon, yes, even pursued with malice and animosity by your fighter planes. So, now, I say to you, my son, there is a great storm gathering in your world, a black fury that will not spend itself for many years. There will be no answer in your armies, there will be no safety in your science. It may rage on until every flower of your culture is trampled and all human things are leveled in vast chaos.
“Your recent war was only a prelude of what is yet to come for your race. We here see it more clearly with each hour … do you say I am mistaken?”
“No,” I answer,” it happened once before, the Dark Ages came and they lasted for more than five hundred years.” “Yes, my son,” replied the Master, “the Dark Ages that will come now for your race will cover the Earth like a pall, but I believe that some of your race will live through the storm, beyond that, I cannot say. We see at a great distance a new world stirring from the ruins of your race, seeking its lost and legendary treasures, and they will be here, my son, safe in our keeping. When that time arrives, we shall come forward again to help revive your culture and your race.
“Perhaps, by then, you will have learned the futility of war and its strife … and after that time, certain of your culture and science will be returned for your race to begin anew. You, my son, are to return to the Surface World with this message….”
With those closing words, our meeting seemed at an end. I stood for a moment as in a dream … but, yet, I knew this was reality, and for some strange reason I bowed slightly, either out of respect or humility, I do not know which.
Suddenly, I was again aware that the two beautiful hosts who had brought me here were again at my side. “This way, Admiral,” motioned one. I turned once more before leaving and looked back toward the Master. A gentle smile was etched on his delicate ancient face. “Farewell, my son,” he spoke, then he gestured with a lovely, slender hand a motion of peace and our meeting was truly ended.
Quickly, we walked back through the great door of the Master’s chamber and once again entered into the elevator. The door slid silently downward and we were at once going upward. One of my hosts’ spoke again, “We must now make haste, Admiral, as the Master desires to delay you no longer on your schedule timetable and you must return with his message to your race.”

The Flight to the Land Beyond the North Pole
A Copy Of Admiral Richard B. Byrd
foreword by: Dr. William Bernard Ph.D., D.D.
The reader of the following documentation should find a striking example of dire devotion. Especially when one considers that this log diary was written in the year 1947 in the months of February and March, under circumstances that evidently defied the imagination and credibility, for those times as any others. Here is dealt with the evident answers the origin of the so called UFOs, as well as the Hollow Earth, or as the admiral described.
The Land Beyond The Poles
The reader will relive that period as he reads this document. To say it is fascinating is to place it mildly, but to read it now for yourself, I know that you will conclude, in the Admirals own words ” Just as the long night of the Arctic ends, the brilliant sunshine of truth shall come forth again, and those who are of Darkness shall fall in its Light”. DR. D.B.
Admiral Richard B. Byrd’s (Diary Feb. Mar. 1947)
The exploration flight over the North Pole (The Inner Earth My Secret Diary)
I must write this diary in secrecy and obscurity. It concerns my Arctic flight of the nineteenth day of February in the year of Nineteen and Forty Seven.
There comes a time when the rationality of men must fade into insignificance and one must accept the inevitability of the Truth! I am not at liberty to disclose the following documentation at this writing … perhaps it shall never see the light of public scrutiny, but I must do my duty and record here for all to read one day. In a world of greed and exploitation of certain of mankind can no longer suppress that which is truth.
Flight Log: Base Camp Arctic, 2/19/1947
0600 Hours- All preparations are complete for our flight north- ward and we are airborne with full fuel tanks at 0610 Hours.
0620 Hours- fuel mixture on starboard engine seems too rich, adjustment made and Pratt Whittneys are running smoothly.
0730 Hours- Radio Check with base camp. All is well and radio reception is normal.
0740 Hours- Note slight oil leak in starboard engine, oil pres- sure indicator seems normal, however.
0800 Hours- Slight turbulence noted from easterly direction at altitude of 2321 feet, correction to 1700 feet, no further turbulence, but tail wind increases, slight adjustment in throttle controls, aircraft performing very well now.
0815 Hours- Radio Check with base camp, situation normal.
0830 Hours- Turbulence encountered again, increase altitude to 2900 feet, smooth flight conditions again.
0910 Hours- Vast Ice and snow below, note coloration of yellowish nature, and disperse in a linear pattern. Altering course for a better examination of this color pattern below, note reddish or purple color also. Circle this area two full turns and return to assigned compass heading. Position check made again to base camp, and relay information concerning colorations in the Ice and snow below.
0910 Hours- Both Magnetic and Gyro compasses beginning to gyrate and wobble, we are unable to hold our heading by instrumentation. Take bearing with Sun compass, yet all seems well. The controls are seemingly slow to respond and have sluggish quality, but there is no indication of Icing!
0915 Hours- In the distance is what appears to be mountains.
0949 Hours- 29 minutes elapsed flight time from the first sighting of the mountains, it is no illusion. They are mountains and consisting of a small range that I have never seen before!
0955 Hours- Altitude change to 2950 feet, encountering strong turbulence again.
1000 Hours- We are crossing over the small mountain range and still proceeding northward as best as can be ascertained. Beyond the mountain range is what appears to be a valley with a small river or stream running through the center portion. There should be no green valley below! Something is definitely wrong and abnormal here! We should be over Ice and Snow! To the portside are great forests growing on the mountain slopes. Our navigation Instruments are still spinning, the gyroscope is oscillating back and forth!
1005 Hours- I alter altitude to 1400 feet and execute a sharp left turn to better examine the valley below. It is green with either moss or a type of tight knit grass. The Light here seems different. I cannot see the Sun anymore. We make another left turn and we spot what seems to be a large animal of some kind below us. It appears to be an elephant! NO!!! It looks more like a mammoth! This is incredible! Yet, there it is! Decrease altitude to 1000 feet and take binoculars to better examine the animal. It is confirmed – it is definitely a mammoth-like animal! Report this to base camp.
1030 Hours- Encountering more rolling green hills now. The external temperature indicator reads 74 degrees Fahrenheit! Continuing on our heading now. Navigation instruments seem normal now. I am puzzled over their actions. Attempt to contact base camp. Radio is not functioning!
1130 Hours- Countryside below is more level and normal (if I may use that word). Ahead we spot what seems to be a city!!!! This is impossible! Aircraft seems light and oddly buoyant. The controls refuse to respond!! My GOD!!! Off our port and starboard wings are a strange type of aircraft. They are closing rapidly alongside! They are disc-shaped and have a radiant quality to them. They are close enough now to see the markings on them. It is a type of Swastika!!! This is fantastic. Where are we! What has happened. I tug at the controls again. They will not respond!!!! We are caught in an invisible vice grip of some type!
1135 Hours- Our radio crackles and a voice comes through in English with what perhaps is a slight Nordic or Germanic accent! The message is: ‘Welcome, Admiral, to our domain. We shall land you in exactly seven minutes! Relax, Admiral, you are in good hands.’ I note the engines of our plane have stopped running! The aircraft is under some strange control and is now turning itself. The controls are useless.
1140 Hours- Another radio message received. We begin the landing process now, and in moments the plane shudders slightly, and begins a descent as though caught in some great unseen elevator! The downward motion is negligible, and we touch down with only a slight jolt!
1145 Hours- I am making a hasty last entry in the flight log. Several men are approaching on foot toward our aircraft. They are tall with blond hair. In the distance is a large shimmering city pulsating with rainbow hues of color. I do not know what is going to happen now, but I see no signs of weapons on those approaching. I hear now a voice ordering me by name to open the cargo door. I comply.
End Log
From this point I write all the following events here from memory. It defies the imagination and would seem all but madness if it had not happened.
The radioman and I are taken from the aircraft and we are received in a most cordial manner. We were then boarded on a small platform-like conveyance with no wheels! It moves us toward the glowing city with great swiftness. As we approach, the city seems to be made of a crystal material. Soon we arrive at a large building that is a type I have never seen before. It appears to be right out of the design board of Frank Lloyd Wright, or perhaps more correctly, out of a Buck Rogers setting!! We are given some type of warm beverage which tasted like nothing I have ever savored before. It is delicious. After about ten minutes, two of our wondrous appearing hosts come to our quarters and announce that I am to accompany them. I have no choice but to comply. I leave my radioman behind and we walk a short distance and enter into what seems to be an elevator. We descend downward for some moments, the machine stops, and the door lifts silently upward! We then proceed down a long hallway that is lit by a rose-colored light that seems to be emanating from the very walls themselves! One of the beings motions for us to stop before a great door. Over the door is an inscription that I cannot read. The great door slides noiselessly open and I am beckoned to enter. One of my hosts speaks. ‘Have no fear, Admiral, you are to have an audience with the Master….’ I step inside and my eyes adjust to the beautiful coloration that seems to be filling the room completely. Then I begin to see my surroundings. What greeted my eyes is the most beautiful sight of my entire existence. It is in fact too beautiful and wondrous to describe. It is exquisite and delicate. I do not think there exists a human term that can describe it in any detail with justice! My thoughts are interrupted in a cordial manner by a warm rich voice of melodious quality, ‘I bid you welcome to our domain, Admiral.’ I see a man with delicate features and with the etching of years upon his face. He is seated at a long table. He motions me to sit down in one of the chairs. After I am seated, he places his fingertips together and smiles. He speaks softly again, and conveys the following. ‘We have let you enter here because you are of noble character and well-known on the Surface World, Admiral.’ Surface World, I half-gasp under my breath! ‘Yes,” the Master replies with a smile, ‘you are in the domain of the Arianni, the Inner World of the Earth. We shall not long delay your mission, and you will be safely escorted back to the surface and for a distance beyond. But now, Admiral, I shall tell you why you have been summoned here. Our interest rightly begins just after your race exploded the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. It was at that alarming time we sent our flying machines, the “Flugelrads”, to your surface world to investigate what your race had done. That is, of course, past history now, my dear Admiral, but I must continue on. You see, we have never interfered before in your race’s wars, and barbarity, but now we must, for you have learned to tamper with a certain power that is not for man, namely, that of atomic energy. Our emissaries have already delivered messages to the powers of your world, and yet they do not heed. Now you have been chosen to be witness here that our world does exist. You see, our Culture and Science is many thousands of years beyond your race, Admiral.’ I interrupted, ‘But what does this have to do with me, Sir?’
The Master’s eyes seemed to penetrate deeply into my mind, and after studying me for a few moments he replied, ‘Your race has now reached the point of no return, for there are those among you who would destroy your very world rather than relinquish their power as they know it….’ I nodded, and the Master continued, ‘In 1945 and afterward, we tried to contact your race, but our efforts were met with hostility, our Flugelrads were fired upon. Yes, even pursued with malice and animosity by your fighter planes. So, now, I say to you, my son, there is a great storm gathering in your world, a black fury that will not spend itself for many years. There will be no answer in your arms, there will be no safety in your science. It may rage on until every flower of your culture is trampled, and all human things are leveled in vast chaos. Your recent war was only a prelude of what is yet to come for your race. We here see it more clearly with each hour … do you say I am mistaken?’
‘No,’ I answer, ‘it happened once before, the dark ages came and they lasted for more than five hundred years.’
‘Yes, my son,’ replied the Master, ‘the dark ages that will come now for your race will cover the Earth like a pall, but I believe that some of your race will live through the storm, beyond that, I cannot say. We see at a great distance a new world stirring from the ruins of your race, seeking its lost and legendary treasures, and they will be here, my son, safe in our keeping. When that time arrives, we shall come forward again to help revive your culture and your race. Perhaps, by then, you will have learned the futility of war and its strife … and after that time, certain of your culture and science will be returned for your race to begin anew. You, my son, are to return to the Surface World with this message….’
With these closing words, our meeting seemed at an end. I stood for a moment as in a dream … but, yet, I knew this was reality, and for some strange reason I bowed slightly, either out of respect or humility, I do not know which.
Suddenly, I was again aware that the two beautiful hosts who had brought me here were again at my side. ‘This way, Admiral,’ motioned one. I turned once more before leaving and looked back toward the Master. A gentle smile was etched on his delicate and ancient face. ‘Farewell, my son,’ he spoke, then he gestured with a lovely, slender hand a motion of peace and our meeting was truly ended.
Quickly, we walked back through the great door of the Master’s chamber and once again entered into the elevator. The door slid silently downward and we were at once going upward. One of my hosts spoke again, ‘We must now make haste, Admiral, as the Master desires to delay you no longer on your scheduled timetable and you must return with his message to your race.’
I said nothing. All of this was almost beyond belief, and once again my thoughts were interrupted as we stopped. I entered the room and was again with my radioman. He had an anxious expression on his face. As I approached, I said, ‘It is all right, Howie, it is all right.’ The two beings motioned us toward the awaiting conveyance, we boarded, and soon arrived back at the aircraft. The engines were idling and we boarded immediately. The whole atmosphere seemed charged now with a certain air of urgency. After the cargo door was closed the aircraft was immediately lifted by that unseen force until we reached an altitude of 2700 feet. Two of the aircraft were alongside for some distance guiding us on our return way. I must state here, the airspeed indicator registered no reading, yet we were moving along at a very rapid rate.
215 Hours- A radio message comes through. ‘We are leaving you now, Admiral, your controls are free. Auf Wiedersehen!!!!’ We watched for a moment as the Flugelrads disappeared into the pale blue sky.
The aircraft suddenly felt as though caught in a sharp downdraft for a moment. We quickly recovered her control. We do not speak for some time, each man has his thoughts….
Entry in Flight Log Continues:
220 Hours- We are again over vast areas of ice and snow, and approximately 27 minutes from base camp. We radio them, they respond. We report all conditions normal … normal. Base camp expresses relief at our re-established contact.
300 Hours- We land smoothly at base camp. I have a mission….
End Log Entries.
March 11, 1947. I have just attended a staff meeting at the Pentagon. I have stated fully my discovery and the message from the Master. All is duly recorded. The President has been advised. I am now detained for several hours (six hours, thirty-nine minutes, to be exact.) I am interviewed intently by Top Security Forces and a medical team. It was an ordeal!!!! I am placed under strict control via the national security provisions of this United States of America.
I am ORDERED TO REMAIN SILENT IN REGARD TO ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNED, ON THE BEHALF OF HUMANITY
Incredible! I am reminded that I am a military man and I must obey orders.
FINAL ENTRY:
30/12/56: These last few years elapsed since 1947 have not been kind … I now make my final entry in this singular diary. In closing, I must state that I have faithfully kept this matter secret as directed all these years. It has been completely against my values of moral right. Now, I seem to sense the long night coming on and this secret will not die with me, but as all truth shall, it will triumph and so it shall.
This can be the only hope for mankind. I have seen the truth and it has quickened my spirit and has set me free! I have done my duty toward the monstrous military industrial complex. Now, the long night begins to approach, but there shall be no end. Just as the long night of the Arctic ends, the brilliant sunshine of Truth shall come again … and those who are of darkness shall fall in its Light…. FOR I HAVE SEEN THAT LAND BEYOND THE POLE, THAT CENTER OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN.

Anwar Ibrahim terburu-buru inginkan jawatan Perdana Menteri dengan menabur macam-macam janji-janji yang boleh menggugat orang Melayu. Jangan fikir orang tidak akan tuntut janji-janji dia. Malaysia sudah mengalami pembangunan yang pesat jadi pemimpin yang diperlukan adalah pemimpin yang berfikir jauh ke hadapan, bukannya yang hanya pandai berjanji itu ini ataupun yang mengambil tindakan popular yang baik untuk karier politiknya sahaja. Sedarilah Malaysia dikenali sebagai sebuah negara Islam di seluruh dunia dan ini menyebabkan AS yang ditunjangi orang Yahudi akan berusaha habis-habisan untuk menguasai kita. Sekarang sudah nampak dengan jelas Anwar Ibrahim la orang tersebut. Bagi yang Islam kenangkanlah apa nasib Saddam Hussein yang dahulu disokong AS semasa Iraq berperang dengan Iran…Semoga takdir akan menjauhkan Malaysia daripada diperintah oleh pemimpin yang disokong AS kerana akhirnya negara tercinta ini bakal hancur dan dirampas kemerdekaannya…

You said, “When Malay youngsters, especially boys, failed to study and qualify for university education, when they preferred to play and not study, we cannot expect the non-Malays to patiently wait and give up their opportunities until the Malays decide to become serious and study”.
Now, let’s look at the latest World University Ranking:
Universiti Malaya dropped from 192 last year to 246 this year, USM from 277 to 307, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia from 182 to 309, and Universiti Pertanian Malaysia from 292 to 364. However, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia made it into the top 500 for the first time, at 415.

I feel that the impending WTO that Malaysia is currently negotiating will have a destructive effect IF it is not handled properly. We should not let oursleves be dictated in any way to follow the west’s propaganda.
The NEP needs to be reinvented. Proper dissemination of information and explanation on its original goals need to be inculcated from the young.

YABhg Tun,
semua orang dok fokus kat permatang pauh sampai lupa nak tgk website Tun. Bagi saya, NEP adalah sesuatu yang amat-amat penting untuk dikekalkan di negara kita, terutamanya memandangkan masyarakat Melayu masih belum mencapai tahap yang setaraf dengan bangsa lain. Cumanya dasar tersebut perlulah diperhalusi bagi memastikan ianya lebih adil dan kelemahan2 yang ada seperti unsur-unsur kronisme dapat dibendung. Pastinya ada cara, cuma Kerajaan sekarang kena fikir dengan mendalam apa formula terbaik. Masalahnya Kerajaan masa ini terlalu sibuk dengan perkara2 yang tak penting.
The people has spoken and chose BN to rule the country. Jadi, BN sebagai pemerintah pergi la buat kerja yang diamanahkan untuk membangunkan negara, jgn sok sibok berpolitik. PR pun begitu juga, ramai yang dah pilih mereka sebagai pembangkang dengan mjoriti lebih besar, jadi pergi la buat kerja mereka sebagai pembangkang yang sihat dan kotakan janji2 yang ditabur dinegeri2 yang mereka menangi. Lagi 5 tahun lawan balik.
Ini nak cakap pasal cross-over, nak bentuk kerajaan cara rompakan begini saya tak setuju. Kalau ada calon2 nak cross-over baik dr BN atau PR, buat by-election, biar rakyat pilih balik siapa yang mereka mahu sebab rakyat memilih samada parti dan/atau personaliti.
Kami rakyat2 yang kerdil dah letih dgn polemik politik baik dr BN atau PR!!

This is a very good article and once again you have shown your maturity in statemanship.
The only effective way for Malays to catch up is to force them to go into the ‘deep end’ of the swimming pool. Then they will learn how to swim. Pampering them as the Govt have done over the years will not help them. In this respect, we can compare the Malays leaving in Singapore and overseas (UK, Europe) with those in Malaysia. A similar trend can also be seen in the Chinese. If we compare the Chinese in Malaysia and the Chinese in China, it would appear the Chinese in China are more “hardworking”.
The Malays have always been inferior to the hardworking Chinese. We can see this in the Olympics, in sports and what more in business. For a Malay to be successful, he must first feel angered by this like I have. Then he will want to work hard and try to emulate the Chinese and finally to beat him. I admit I have tried this way and to beat a Chinese at their game (e.g. in business or sports), is very difficult in this country especially when you suddenly find your own Malay race wanting to take you down.
On another note, there are a few Chinese who have squandered like Eric Chia and Lim Guan Eng. I am surprised at Lim Guan Eng. I am surprised he gave a public holiday to Penang just for Permatang Pauh election which cause a bigg loss to Penang. This is irresponsible.

Dear Government of Malaysia and also Minister of Information, Shaberry Chik (who keeps tab of this blog almost on daily basis).
It would be highly beneficial for all if the govt or the information ministry do the said study as proposed by Tun in this article (para 29). This is the 2nd time (I think) that Tun had mentioned about this study.
This study (on the effects and affects of the NEP)should be done ASAP so that any confusion can be laid to rest. The longer the wait, the more criticisms will be thrown at the govt on this very policy it has promoted since 1957.
Thank you.
By lot.g.21 on August 26, 2008 6:26 PM
Saya setuju dengan tulisan Mahathir kali ini. Melayu harus baca dan faham tulisan ini, bukan hanya terpekik terlolong mempertahankan sesuatu dasar yang jelek di mata bukan Melayu tetapi Melayu sendiri perlu sedar bahawa tanpa kesedaran dan usaha sendiri, dasar yang macamana sekalipun takkan merubah nasib.
Dasar yang dibentuk perlu untuk mengimbangi kedudukan antara bangsa dalam negara, tetapi perlaksanaan tidak seperti yang di impikan, banyak penyalahgunaan dan penyelewengan. Bila ada beberapa kerat yang menentang atau menolak dasar ini kini, ada yang sanggup bermatian mempertahankannya walaupun dia tidak pernah menghargainya dahulu malah mengambil kesempatan atas dasar berkenaan. Bagi yang pernah menikmati nikmat dari dasar ini pula janganlah menafikannya pula.
Ada yang masih kurang faham apa itu ketuanan Melayu, tetapi apakah bangsa Melayu masih perlu dengan ketuanan ini? Mengharapkan ketuanan saja tidak menjamin sesuatu bangsa itu berjaya, itu sekadar pendapat peribadi.
By dinturtle on August 26, 2008 6:35 PM
Salam TUN,
Diharap mereka yang dipertanggungjawab menjaga kepentingan dan hak Melayu (para pemimpin Melayu dari parti mana sekalipun )dapat memahami apa yang tersurat tapi pada pendapat saya, masalah utama adalah mereka yang menentang bukannya tidak faham tapi lebih kerana didorong kepentingan politik. Kononnya merekalah jaguh memperjuangkan hak2 asasi manusia. Walaupun dalam diri, mereka sedari mereka juga adalah hasil produk DEB.
Diakui juga terdapat banyak kelemahan dari segi pelaksanaan tapi BUKANNYA dari segi dasar. Setiap kelemahan yang digembar gemburkan itu kebanyakannya adalah kelemahan manusia, MAKNANYA, kita boleh saja perkenalkan seribu satu dasar baru yang serba lengkap, tanpa cacat cela tapi akhirnya, manusia juga yang harus melaksanakannya. Dan di sinilah masalah yang sama akan timbul juga.
Sama juga dengan segala undang2 trafik baru yang mahu diperkenalkan ( lari topik sikit, saja je…geram), kita punya terlalu banyak undang2 tapi takde makna nya kalau tidak ada enforcement. Tak perlulah nak perkenalkan undang2 baru kalau sikap kita masih sama. Lainlah kalau setiap undang2 baru itu melibatkan kos berjuta2..barulah faham.

Dear Tun,
Maybe we should all become apart of United States since Red Indians live better off.
This is practically a losing battle for the NEP supporters. The Malays are now split because of Anwar. While the government is too weak to even explain NEP clearly like how you explain it to win the heart of the non malays.
Another point, there was a question raised in Parliament recently as to what benefit is MARA to the non Malays. None of the MPs could actually defend. I was sad.
The greatness of MARA is that it is able to produce more dynamic and open minded malays that would enable them to be better off than what they are today. By becoming so, they will indirectly help the non malays since these open minded malays will eventually become independent and in return be more receptive and help their non malay friends

to be honest, i have been ashamed of carrying a malay blood in me. this is becuz everytime my chinese friends get to noe, to their surprised that im actually a malay mix, there is somewhat a disgust expression made on their face. i never blame them as i understand that most of the malays that they have came across are either mat motors when they are driving on the road or filthy rich malay kids whose father is well connected.

Hi Tun,
It has been a while I didn’t comment on your blog…
Anyway, about this topic….Affirmative Action is good to get the other minority or other group that is disadvantage in terms of economic to be on par with the ‘best’. Just like in the US and other Western countries, they do practised some form of affirmative action.
Long-term wise, as we can see today a lot of abuses which resulted the NEP to be highly critical by certain groups. The NEP really needs to be tighten so that only the deserve group gets the aid and support.
The Malays and other Bumiputeras eventually must stand on their own especially with the Vision 2020 taking place in about 12 years from now. Clock is ticking fast!
Cheers!

Dear & Salam Tun,
I’ve read many of your previous articles and never had the interest to provide feedback either because my being too critical of you or your previous administration.
Even being critical, my admiration of you and the little knowledge that I have of how you think, has never faded.
Never that I believe, a true and real statesmen would not gain personally from its power, but however I do believe that their ultimate mission is to assist the nation to face and be prepared for challanges ahead.
Thus, by far..this article is the best. And I would like to wish you thank you as it has given me a broader perspective to carry on with lifes in this country we love.

Sad to say while driving back home from office (40km in distance) I did not see a single car with Malaysian flag on it. Merdeka day is just barely 5 days to go nor i noticed shops hangging Malaysian flags.
We have spoke many times that serious and immediate measures need to be taken to improve present government, country’s security and economy. Where are we heading ? Nobody knows….. UMNO leaders, why wait any longer ? We need a Hang Jebat here.

Yet again a good write-up from you. Thank you and please keep on writing. Truly through your writing Malaysian would be educated in field a lot of them don’t really understand. Of course some of them just do not want to understand.
I do believe that Malaysian in general do tolerate towards each other and most of them know that somehow or rather there are needs for affirmative action to ensure economic parity and harmony in the country.

By Malaysian on August 26, 2008 7:17 PM
“That was why we introduced merit in the selection of students for the universities. Unfortunately, the implementers of Government decisions chose to interpret it differently. By requiring Bumiputeras to sit for the matriculation and the non-Bumiputeras to sit for higher school certificates, they managed to give the impression that the Bumiputeras were actually better qualified than the non-Bumiputeras.”
To be frank, I have never realised that Tun is aware of this as it actually created a sense of false superiority for those students which went through matriculation. Although the scores obtained by the Matrics students were far higher, it was never the true reflection of the results.
With this, I really hope that there is a single examination to measure the performance of students pre-university. Then this is only Merit by name and practice.
By Worried on August 26, 2008 7:19 PM
Hi Tun,
I totally agree with what you have said. But the time to end privileges should have been well publicized so that the Malays would have known that its time is running out and that in itself would have created a kind of pressure on the Malays to get their act together. But the problem is that UMNO Youth or the Bumiputra Congress keep coming up with statements of lengthening and even increasing the quotas as a birth right of the Malays. Thats why the Ketuanan Melayu has also been floated around. This guys have no intention of giving up the privileges. They want them as a birth right forever, period!
By dayanganita on August 26, 2008 7:20 PM
Dear Tun,
Absolutely a brilliant piece.
May I add..
1. To enter universities, malays love to depend on quotas. To enter postgraduate studies, there is no quota -purely by merit BUT still there are trainee lecturers position that enable the malays to join even when there are others with better qualifications. To go abroad for subspecialisation, there is completely no quota because in the real, international world only merit matters. This is when malays fall. Some fall hard on their faces.
2. Malays are not stupid.
3. We do not have to forever depend on government quotas and assistance.
4. We need to realise that good command in English language is essential to survive.
5. Mastering English language will never make us less malay and less patriotic.

I am a Malaysian chinese and I understand that sacrifices has to be made to create the balance between the races to achieve peace and stability.
NEP has helped a lot in restructuring the society and I wish to convey my sincere thanks to the leaders who has the vision and courage to implement this corrective policy
(courage as it is not easy to tell millions of chinese that the country is going discriminate them)
(vision as in the ability to foresee the devastating consequences had the NEP not been implemented ie: racial riots )
By durianguy on August 26, 2008 7:27 PM
1. I strongly felt that my tax money are not spent wisely. Who is accountable to MRR2?? Roof leakage?? Toll??
2. Many ideas and policies formed by our fore farthers were noble and with good faith. The problem lies with the interpretation and the executioner i.e. the UMNOPutras.
3. Also, to make matter worst, the current leaders lead by AAB were not capable at all. Many feel good annoucements but is our economy that strong? Really?
4. We have already lost an island. If there is no change in the current govt, i’m afraid many or our other properties will be gone in no time …. Iskandar Johor??
5. Not that i’m a pro DSAI but maybe he could make the difference. This would definitely bring in a jolt to the UMNOPutras. They have to redefine themselves….you don’t need to shout “Ketuanan Melayu”. Respect should be earned!
5. It is not about Malay, Bumi, Kadazan, Indians, Chinese, etc competing each other. It’s about how we, as a Malaysian, work together and compete with the rest of the world. The racial issue must be stop!
6. I would love to see the current singular political party be dissolve (UMNO, MCA, MIC, PAS, etc…) and instead, represented by a multi racial party to be governed by nationalism – for the good of the country and it’s people.
Good luck, Malaysia!

I am happy that you recognize that discrimination will happen if you are to prefer someone over something. Your article is basically what I said not too long ago in one of your posts and it is indeed very heartening to hear such truthful words from a leader like Tun. NEP will continue as long as we can see progress being made but it will have to eventually be abolished in the distant future even if the equity pie is not reached.

Dear Tun Dr. Mahathir,
i’m glad that Tun raise this comment out and i hope that this approach will raise awareness among this society. Though it’s Malaysia but i think it doesn’t mean that other races should be discriminate. 😀

Wonderful article for all of us to ponder about. Alas your good intentions have been abused by the implementors of the government policy during your administration. The policies should be fair to all races as rightly mentioned by your good self (refer Article 153)

We understand the good purpose of affirmative action, anything if abused with the wrong intentions and objectives with become a drawback itself, it’s a double edged sword.
We can see how some people can do good things that benefits the country with the same method and power while some merely fight for their own interest.
Sadly this is what happened to our own country in the moment.
It’s not the matter of which party should lead Malaysia anymore, it’s who can lead Malaysia back to the glorious days where we can proudly claim ourself as proud Malaysian, a peace and prosperous country. Do you agree with that?
The current obviously is not the better choice anymore, we see no good future that benefits all of us, regardless of race and religious.
We should really look into the matter without prejudice.

Aslkm Tun,
While I agree with what Tun said 100%, can we assume that the non bumiputera will be fair to the Bumiputera once the NEP is abolished and the politic and economy is controlled by non-Bumiputera bearing in mind to what happens to the Malay in Singapore? Is this not in line with the concept of “Bangsa Malaysia” as advocated by certain people. Would Tun not agree that because of the racial, cultural and religious diversity between the Bumiputera and non-Bumiputera makes it necessary to have some sort of permenant regulation to control the distribution of the economy and the control over politic similar to that the NEP and the BN and PR concept respectively?.

36…..The discrimination is in order to give them a kind of headstart so that they can catch up with other races. To me, it is shameful to have to be protected because we do not have the capacity to compete. We are not Red Indians to live on reserves. We should regard it as a temporary expedient to be done away with once we have achieved the capacity to compete on our own.”…
Salam Yg Bhg Tun and all,
How can the Malays regard their benefits as ‘temporary’ when they have been too complacent and believing that the benefits are there to stay forever, thinking that there would be no other group or race dare to challenge their rights?
The real headstart for the Malays is when they are being stumped by the others and when all their rights, their lands, their dignity being ripped off them.
By scor on August 26, 2008 8:13 PM
Dear Tun,
It is true that one would be able to see a clearer picture when you are an outsider. I would be glad if the government will elect you as a senior minister, or at least as one of think-tank members for the government. Since the racial integration is so crucial for the progress of a country, something need to be done. We can’t hope for NEP which not only failed to bring up more successful Malays,and to stay on for another 50 years before given up in them. As this is not so important as how much it will affect other races, but it will further impaired with economical growth of our country for the next 50 years. We are far behind our neighbour, Singapore who are less fortunate than us without any natural resources or land for plantation. Why this is happening? This is not because our leaders are not as smart as those in Singapore, but poor management of our own wealth. How sincere are we when we are talking about equalization of wealth shared by all Malaysians? Based on the comments above, i am very sure all Malaysians are much willing to see this happening. I don’t think the Malays will protest if someone from other races can help them to bring up their race. As a nation, we should use all the resources we have, including the best brains we have. We should realize that the biggest challenge for Malaysia is to have the best Malaysians without discrimination based on races to run the country’s administration. I don’t think a chinese is so direly want to become a prime minister to contribute to the country. I have no objection for the ruling of a prime minister must be a Malay, because i am sincere to contribute to the country despite headed by different race than me. As long as my contributions been appreciated by all Malaysians.

TDM
while I appreciate your comments in view of establishing meritocracy, I still think your arguments are flawed based on the examples you’ve provided.
Yes, you can’t pit a Heavyweight against a lightweight -but who are you refering to as Heavyweight here? Is it the Bumiputera cluster who have been given resources to establish successes and generate new opportunities, or is it the cluster that lives in estates, generates low income to manage large families, attend national type schools knowing they don’t get same level of education resulting in them starting with a disadvantage?
You commented that NEP needs to be gradually reduced, but for any gradual reduction, it needs a timeline in place. It needs that commitment from all quarters to see that the plan gets implemented responsibly, and one such responsibility is to establish the plan upfront, have clear communication of the plan, and ensure the milestones are being met. Until today, all there is is talk – it was the case under your administration where you begged the Malays to work and strive hard (you even cried about it). But they were talk – no action to follow-up. You can’t just make it DSAAB’s issue – you need to take responsibility for the lack of establishing a timeline.
We are in the 21st century where we openly cry about the disadvantages and unfair treatment that 3rd world and developing countries receive at the hands of Developed nations. Yet in our own land – we have legal implements that disadvantage one Malaysian against the other on basis of class and creed.
So, lets get our back yard sorted before we complain about level playing fields (or lack of it) internationally.

Comprehensive article, and totally agree with all your points.

By Onlooker on August 26, 2008 8:47 PM
Tun,
By right, New Economic Policy (NEP) should have been ended since 1990. If the Malay people still insist today that NEP should be carried on until the true achievement of the final target of 30% wealth and 30% employment in the public companies be given to the Bumiputeras, then in Bursa Malaysia we will hardly be able to find many counters that are really a good choice for investment. This means that it is not easy to find the companies that really come with good quality assets in true sense, as well as in the sense of book values that are being reflected as assets of high Net Tangible Value in the balance sheets of the company annual reports. More often than not, what we are able to see in Bursa Malaysia will only be the stocks of some high gearing and debt-ridden companies, which will eventually be graded as PN4 or PN17 members when recession hits. This will be the end-result of the long term implementation of the NEP – shamefully lack of economic motivation and management efficiency for the publicly owned companies to perform well in the business world.
What rationale do you find that can really make us feel proud of the success of the government intervention measures for bailout purpose, such as those measures of Dana Modal and Dana Harta? I find that I myself have no reason to feel proud of any bailout effort at all! I would rather like to see more and more small and medium businesses, which are not required to abide to the 30% Bumiputeras Rule of NEP, growing slowly but steadily in Malaysia than seeing more and more Bursa Malaysia member companies, which are required to allocate at least 30% shares to Bumiputeras, finally slipping itself into the category of PN4 or PN17 when time turns bad.
In this article, Tun still does not show a strong determination to call for the abolition of the affirmative action. Before Tun continues to give your support to the continuation of affirmative action in favour of Bumiputeras in Malaysia, I would like to call for your attention to an article, which attempts to define the meaning of justice as published in the website below.
http://www.cesj.org/thirdway/socialjustice-defined.htm
By the way, I wish to remind Tun that the word “Red Indian” should not be used again to identify the American Indigenous Ethnic if Tun speaks to Americans or to the other World. The more appropriate name, which is much more commonly used in America for identifying this Indigenous Ethnic, is “American Indian”.

By manfromthehill on August 26, 2008 8:50 PM
dear tun,
the truth is often comes in shades of grey and not as clear as black and white as we wish.. its heartening to hear a universal truth about the state of education and the relevance of NEP policy. actually the decision for NEP to be withdrawn in stages would require planning and fiscal control and courage from the ruling party to let go of the crutch. this can only be effected by a strong prime minister and who has a strong integrity.
we malaysians on the whole walk the middle path. we have our pursuit of happiness and i dont think we blame each other for our problems and we have come a long way with the muhibbah spirit. often it is the politicians who played up the sentiments and populist elements come into play.
the most glaring problem however, is the state of affairs and i think most malaysians have become complacent and take a lot for granted. well educated and top flight talent often leave malaysia for greener pastures and we lost a great deal of capable malaysians to foreign lands. the government is doing nothing to inspire this group of people and i have even malay friends who prefer living abroad now. it is sad indeed.
sometimes hardship is a good medicine for a wake up call. too much gula-gula as you know contributes to ‘decadent teeth’. it is time for frugal consumption and a return to the basics. it is time also for politicians to stop making populist decisions which does not benefit the rakyat in the long term.

Dear Tun,
I admire with surprise you admitted the unfairness toward the non bumi in the education system. I was one of the victim, yet I never regret being victimise in this case. I get a very good results in my SPM and STPM, and yet, was not accepted to further my education in the local university. I have no choice but to further my education aboard. My family is not rich, but my father worked very hard to ensure I can further my study to achieve my dream. I was lucky and able to study in US, and achieve Master degree with grant and scholarship from school. I got a job back in KL, with US company, and begin to climb corporate ladder. In the same company, I see those local graduate, work with wrong attitude, always MC, never do their job with positive mind set, always blame we are discriminating them…..etc. For many many times I heard from HR that the foreign company prefer to hire non local graduate b’cos they have better working attitude.
I have switch job 3 times in Malaysia and experience same thing in each company. I quite tired with the same O environment. And last job offer, I had been headhunted to work in Neighbour country. I was so impress and motivated with the staffs here and all have the positive mind set, self independent and think very positively. I now a company Director for Asia Pacific able to work and experience a much broader market, and I can tell that if Malaysia remain with the current system, we already experience slow growth, idle in new generation quality, and soon will be the slave countries to all the already develop countries in Asia. I’m sorry to say, but this is going to be the fact. Whether you like it or not.

Terima Kasih di atas semua penjelasan Tun yang sungguh memberikan pencerahan baru kepada saya yang sekian lama mencari-cari sumber maklumat yang jelas dan telus tentang apa yang berlaku di Malaysia.
Terlebih dahulu saya ingin memohon maaf kerana selama ini saya sering menganggap Tun adalah dalang kepada segala kejahatan yang berlaku di Malaysia.
Balik kepada artikel kali ini. Setelah memahami sebab, tujuan dan falsafah DEB dilaksanakan barulah saya dapat bersetuju 100% tentang perlunya polisi seumpama ini dilaksanakan.
Dengan fakta-fakta yang Tun persembahkan disini tidak dinafikan DEB telah memberi sumbangan yang besar dalam menjadikan Malaysia gah seperti hari ini.Namun kita kecewa kerana DEB gagal mendapat persetujuan rakyat Malaysia keseluruhannya. Masih ramai yang menyangkal.
Pada pandangan saya [b]DEB akan lebih berjaya sekiranya setiap rakyat memahami intipati, sebab, tujuan dan falsafahnya[b] seperti yang Tun jelaskan di dalam artikel ini. Tiadanya pemahamanlah menjadilan DEB pincang.
Apa yang dipelajari di dalam buku teks tentang DEB nampaknya telah gagal mencapai matlamatnya. Penerangan Tun dengan contoh dan analogi lebih senang difahami dan dihadam.
Dengan pemahaman barulah kerajaan dan rakyat (seperti yang tersenarai di poin no 30&31) dapat bergerak seiring. Saya yakin mereka yang mendapat peluang daripada DEB tidak akan dengan mudah mengkhianati ‘amanah’ yang diberi sekiranya mereka sedar kenapa mereka diberi peluang itu.

On another note, there are a few Chinese who have squandered like Eric Chia and Lim Guan Eng. I am surprised at Lim Guan Eng. I am surprised he gave a public holiday to Penang just for Permatang Pauh election which cause a bigg loss to Penang. This is irresponsible.
Why in the 1st place the Govt have the election during a working day? This is a more disruptive action that haveing a day off. Kudoss to LGE for his action so that morer people can go and vote.
ON the issue of NEP, NEP is a good idea provided that the discrimation is against the well-to-dos and help is for the poors of all races only.
Remember everyone started at same base level i.e. all immigrants from Indonesia, China, India and other countries. The smart and hardworking ones will definitely prospered while the rest will remain as they were. These affected all races.
The Govt cannot create any rules just to benefit a certain catergory of people. As my personal opinion, NEP benefits a certain category of people, will created a false sense of superiority in this people’s restricted surroundings, but when exposed to wider environment, the false sense of security disappeared when skill and intelligence is lacking when compared to others. That’s when they will do the best to maintain rules to protect/hide their inferiority complex.
If NEP has created a person, after going thru the trial of school, college and university, who is able to stand on its own two feet, can think for himself, can compete and work with everyone, will not required the backing of help from the Govt then the Govt has achieve its aim. This person will be grateful to the Govt forever.
If NEP has not created a person who is able to stand on its own two feet then forever this person will required the backing of help from thee Govt. This person will be resentful to the Govt, if the Govt does not help him.
If you have an person who is not the best to teach the other to perform their best, what is the point………. GET THE BEST PEOPLE TO CREATE THE BEST YOUNG MINDS OF ALL RACES FOR THE COUNTRY.
The Govt must be be shy of having the best minds from other races or countries to be the guideing stars for all our young people.

Salam Hormat Tun dan Selamat Merdeka ke 51
Melayu kaya dgn Harta Bumi tetapi kenapa masih banyak hidup dlm kemiskinan. Dan non-indigenous hidup lebih baik dari indigenous.
Masalahnya kebanyakkan org Melayu selalu minta belas kasihan tanpa berusaha majukan diri dan hidup hanya menumpang kesenangan org lain sahingga anak-cucu pun terikut2 maka jadilah keturunan keluarga meminta2, belas kasihan dan lain2 lagi. Bila senang sikit LUPA DIRI asal usul mereka dulu susah. Hantar luar negeri disuruh belajar menimba ilmu sebaliknya pulang bawa sijil beranak “Mat Salleh”. Kalau yg bagus tidak apa, yg kuching kurap tepi jalan yg dikutipnya jadi suami atau isteri.
Selagi BN/UMNO tiada berusaha mengatasi masalah ini dan hanya menolong org yg tertentu, pilih kasih, membantu org yg dah senang lagi senang, sanak-saudara, kaum puak dan lain2, maka masalah ini akan berterusan hingga timbul perkara2 yg tidak inginkan berlaku seperti sekarang ini.
Buatlah sesuatu peraturan seperti apa yg saya fikirkan “Bayar dulu perbelanjaan pelajaran bila Lulus barulah boleh ‘CLAIMS’ balik ongkosnya”. Kalau GAGAL jgn bayar. Biar mereka belajar sungguh2 jika mau berjaya dan dpt ‘CLAIMS’ balik wang yg dibelanjakan. Kalau tidak sampai bila2 pun minta belas kasihan.
Ketika dibawah Tun menerajui banyak ahli2 Menteri dan wakil rakyat berpura2 kononnya mereka telah jalankan tanggung jawab mereka walhal kurang memuaskan. Lihatlah sekarang ini sejak Pak Lah ‘take over’ bermacam2 tembelang busuk muncul.
Negara luar pula memang sudah lama ingin menaluki dan menguasai kekayaan Malaysia dan lain dunia ketiga. Salah satu peluang yg paling besar ialah mempengaruhi Anwar dgn dasar2 policy mereka.
By Chris on August 26, 2008 9:36 PM
Sir,
I do not deny that the Malays needed affirmative action in the earlier years of the country’s formation. If none was given, imagine the state of affairs they would find themselves in today. Yes, they needed such assistance for all the reasons you provided. Even the blacks in the USA still enjoy such policies favoring them. So, for me, this was and is still good for Malaysia.
The thing is why not start afresh and sit down and divide the economic pie more or less equally among the races. I mean from now onwards we share the abundance of this country fairly. Everyone does his/her part and we all enjoy the bountiful resources within Malaysia. That’s just the physical resources. When the people are financially stable, then the human resources come to life. Since they now have the means, they can burst forth in their creativity of ideas and products and just about anything you can think of. Then Malaysia will rise above the rest. Way above puny Singapore. Taiwan and Hong Kong, so-called dragons will be insignificant in comparison to Malaysia. China will give due respect. India will come a calling. Indonesia will still be far behind us in terms of worldwide market share. Malaysia has no limits to where she can go.
Please sir, work it out for the rest of us that Malaysia don’t go down the drain. There’s too much to lose.

Affirmative action as Tun admitted will hurt the people of Malaysia but if there is a need in the past 30 years. In the onslaught of globalisation, Malaysia needs the best to compete. Are we still going to discriminate our players? Is the present AB’s government had any strategies to increase the Malays’ capabilities and on the other hand unite the people for the world? Badawi had no plans, for these two years to come. Tun had been brave to help the Malays but sadly as people says, spoilt child may not give up his plaything so easily. Will the Malay Dilemma be there when Tun is no longer with us. I hope not.
By nusams on August 26, 2008 9:54 PM
Assalamualaikum Tun,
This is the best explanation on NEP that I’ve ever come across. Absolutely brilliant.
Again the stability of this country lies in the hands of the Malays & Bumis. If we fail to introspect and improve ourselves, NEP will carry on and the other races will eventually loose their patience. Then interracial hostility will arise and bigger problems will follow. When this happen, should not the Malay blame themselves?
“Verily never will Allah change the
condition of a people until they change it themselves.”Quran (Surah Al R’ad 13;11)
I wish we could clone you Tun, but then again whats the point of clonning your brain, your physical self etc, when what really matters is the spiritual heart of an honest, brave, caring leader, and this obviously is yours alone and cannot be cloned.

Over and over again God almighty has revealed who this guy really is. The people of Sodom was banished because they lust after their own kind. They and their offsprings, save a few, were deemed not fit for this world.
Yet the people in Permatang Pauh wants the same kind of Sodom people to lead them.
I pray to the AlMighty God to show us the Straight path and to save this country. Let not the hands of these materialistic power craving people lead all of us to destruction.

Sudah dijangka DSAI akan menang. Tapi tak mengapa kerana dia tidak akan simpan lama belangnya. Bila dapat kuasa lebih, belangnya akan tonjol sikit demi sedikit maka semua akan kenal siapa DSAI yang sebenarnya. Tapi masa tu ‘nasi sudah menjadi bubur’. PeNiNg! pEnInG! SeDiH! sEdIh! GiLa! gIlA! Apa nak jadi pada Malaysia? MALAYSIA NOW ARE FAMOUS FOR IT’S FLIP AND THE FLOP.

Apakhabar Tun sekeluarga dan chedet fan,akhirnya dapat jua membaca tulisan Tun setelah beberapa menunggu.Tun,coretan kali ini walaupun kelihatan biasa2 sahaja.Tetapi amat penting bagi pelajar2 kita untuk mengetahuinya.Terutama pelajar2 bumiputra/melayu terutamanya yamg kebanyakkan hanya pandai bercakap tetapi tak tahu untuk menguruskannya.Rasanya pelajar2 sekarang tak perlu dimanjakan sangat,bila berjaya kelak jadi penentang kerajaaan.Mereka begitu cepat lupa diri,hingga orang yang didapati salah disokongi.Tak kenang budi pun orang buat apa kita nak susah2 menabur jasa.Lihatlah sekarang,tak habis2 dengan reformasi,hingga tak tahu mana yang baik untuk menjadi pemimpin.Sebab dah terlalu dimanjakan.Kadang2 dah hilang rasa bangga melihat anak bangsa sendiri berjaya dalam akedemik,kerana secara ummmunya banyak yang berhaluan kiri/penentang(parti pembangkang).Mereka begitu mudah terpengaruh dengan asutan luar yang boleh membinasakan dan keamanan negara sendiri.Dari segi pencapaian akedemik pulak memang agak jauh kebelakang dari bangsa2 lain dinegara sendiri.Tiada yang boleh dibanggakan.Hingga boleh dilihat dari mata kasar.Sedih,marah dan benci pun ada jika dapat tahu kebanyakkan yang menjadi penentang adalah lulusan dari universiti tempatan dan mendapat pembiayaan dari kerajaan kebanyakkannya.Sepatutnya mereka ini dikenakan tindakkan yang lebih tegas , juga diperketatkan dimana2 pusat2 pengajian disini dengan syarat2 yang tertentu.Supaya tidak timbul kelak bakal pemimpin yang mementingkan diri sendiri .Semoga Tun sihat serta dilindungi ILLAHI.

Salam Tun,
Another superb article. #33 is especially spot-on, today, if anybody
were to suggest that the NEP be abolished, there will be HUGE demonstrations.Granted, so one says, lets wait another 50 years,can Tun promise there won’t be any more war-cry about it ? To some people the NEP already becomes ‘HAK ABADI’,to them, that ‘why should I try so hard when the Government is there to help me ? attitude is their ‘wawasan hidup’.

salam tun and all,
firstly, thank you tun for all your hard work and brilliant ideas, you are one of the best leaders the world had ever seen during the last century that a third world country had produced. You engineered the development of this country and I dare those out there who challenge that statement to point out who- in their opinion was responsible for Malaysia’s development.
secondly, To Kokabala and the rest of his professional friends – good bye! You epitomised the sayings, the grass next door is always greener. May you find your ideal world with no discriminations in the place that you are moving to.
lastly, I wish that all Malays will remember one thing- IF one day our children find themselves at a disadvantage, do not scream and shout at the BN government, as we are the ones NOW who are responsible for their future situations.
May Allah helps us all.

Hi! Tun Dr M,
Among the bumiputeras. Given opportunities, given licenses, permits, contracts etc,this is not help them this also is not to love them, but this only to kill them, They will forever cannot stand up only depent on goverment, this is not my opinion, this is the fact, this is the true, I am a chinese, why chinese is faster then bumiputeras, Because chinese know they don’t have free meal from goverment, they don’t wait, they don,t thick just go ahead to find themsefl.
All of the success were from many time failure then they grow harder become more charaching, just let them to failure don’t giveup, sure they can success in future, I wish them grow harder together with us to make a bright future.

Salam Tun Dan Famili..
Terima Kasih Tun kerana menulis artikel AFIRMATIVE action yang pernah saya ulas satu masa dulu…
Selain artikel di atas Artikel 2008 ELECTION juga sungguh menyentuh perasaan saya.
Salama 5 kali election saya tak pernah memangkah selain dari BN sehingga lah PRU ke 12 yang lepas.
Seperti yang pernah saya katakan dulu apa pilihan yang kita ada? apabila melihata BN…UMNO, MCA, MIC semakin SOMBONG dan BONGKAK selepas 2004 election…
Kita pun sebenarnya tidak yakin akan pakatan pembangkang, kalu memerintah kelak hanya umpama menyalin kulit sahaja.
Pemilihan UMNO atau MCA yang sedang rancak sekarang ne pun lebih kepada nak merebut jawatan dengan niat jelas untuk kepentingan diri sendiri dan keluaraga…
Berubah lah kalu tak Rakyat akan membuat keputusan sama sama lari dari mulut harimau masuk mulut singa…
Apa pilihan yang kita ada TUN???
Semuga sihat selalu..

asalamualaikum Tuk Det..
saya sokong commnt suakbadil. saya masih remaja dan menuntut di universiti. kadang2 saya letih dan penat memujuk diri saya supaya jangan diikut perasaan ‘melayu’ yakni malas, mahu berfoya2, tidak serius dan sbgainya.
saya letih dan penat pujuk diri saya supaya JANGAN kalah dalam apa yang saya lakukan kini. saya tahu, ‘kerja’ saya terlalu mudah. cuma belajar dan belajar.
apa yang saya alami, keliling saya rata2 rakan2 universiti, sangat manja. kalau saya terlalu takut untuk berdepan kegagalan dalam ujian, mereka tidak begitu. melawan lecturer. langsung tak hormat. dah lah lecturer cina, lepas tu bdk2 melayu tunjuk samseng kurang ajar biadap.
RESPECT. itu sahaja yg saya minta dlm jati diri org melayu, especially remaja. penat saya, kalau tiap2 masa kita sahaja yang respect orang, tetapi orang tak respect kita.
tapi ibu bapa saya bagus. mereka didik saya baik2. dan kini saya bangga saya tergolong dalam kalangan yang baik2 juga. bangga jadi remaja melayu yang berpandangan jauh. kerana siapa?
dah tentulah Tuk Det…… walau tak seberapa, saya tetap nak ucapkan TERIMA KASIH. Tuk Det telah membawa ombak dan pengaruh yang sgt besar dlm hidup saya. terima kasih yang tak terhingga. Tuk Det membakar smgt saya tiap2 hari. sy hidup dlm semangat juang pun kerana Tuk Det. Tuk Det boleh, kenapa saya tidak?

Tahniah rakyat Permatang Pauh kerana mempunyai wakil rakyat yang sukakan…paham ajelah. Kalau kalah Anwar akan kata konspirasi polis, SPR, undi hantulah tapi bila menang ok pulak SPR, polis. Baguslah kurang harta benda rakyat rosak. Polis pun dapat balik kampung dah sebulan berkumpul di Permatang Pauh. Penyokong Anwar tak caya ka kerajaan tak ade konspirasi

Dear TUN, my fellow Malay Comrade, and dearest malaysian..
Well said by TUN DR MAHATHIR MOHAMAD. I bet there is non current leaders in BN and also PAKATAN can ever ever compete with TUN’s. Very simple, straight to the point, and clear. There is no flip flop, everything is common sense. Im so greatful to able to live under your leader ship for 22 years. I only met you ONCE in reality-I felt very overwhelmed and happy even though you have already retired.
In today’s Malaysia politics, most of them use high tone- condemn accuse here and there..and suddenly everyone become greedy to become Prime Minister. DAP’s agenda is to take over PWTC, PKR is form government, and PAS is to restructure the law. While BN keep on counting pocket money as much as they could because they know soon or later PAKATAN will take over.
It is very negative when I look and read all the PAKATAN allegations. Its all about Malay Rights to live in Malaysia. It is as if they want the Malay to get out of this country and live their life in poverty. Its balas dendam. Come on lah, what have we done to you Non Malays that you hate us so much until to extand to discrimante us?
By austozi on August 26, 2008 11:10 PM
Dear Tun,
When you put it this way, it’s easier to swallow for the non-Malays. I think it is unfortunate that many Malays regard the provisions specified in the NEP as their rights/privileges “enshrined in the Constitution” (they aren’t) and vow to keep the NEP alive for eternity “to safeguard their Bumiputera rights”. It is the suggestion that the discriminatory policy should go on forever that unnerves most of those who are discriminated against by it.
However, you have not explained away the basis of the assumption that all Malays are bad golfers, all Chinese are excellent golfers, and the Indians do not play golf at all. I think this is the fundamental flaw in the NEP. Wouldn’t it be fairer to judge each player by his abilities rather than skin colour? Abuses of the NEP have been possible only because of this ill-conceived criterion on who should be given the handicaps. Tun, you probably realise that those who oppose the NEP most strongly come from the middle and lower class non-Malay community, which is a very large population of the Malaysian people. They are the ones hardest hit by the policy, because only the rich can afford to be generous in sharing their wealth. Incidentally, these are also the people who have shown in the recent elections to have deserted BN. Compared to the Malays in the same income group, they are worse off because the Malays at least have the NEP to fall back to, while these non-Malays are expected to make sacrifices to keep the NEP going. It just doesn’t make sense.
I believe a study like that you proposed should be carried out, but I will not trust the government to do it. Have an independent body conduct it. Have more than one studies by different institutions if need be, but let them be independent of any manipulation by the government, because those in government presumably have the most to gain from the perpetuation of the NEP.

A very good point made by azizol haqim which i totally share the same thing as follows:
‘While I agree with what Tun said 100%, can we assume that the non bumiputera will be fair to the Bumiputera once the NEP is abolished and the politic and economy is controlled by non-Bumiputera bearing in mind to what happens to the Malay in Singapore?’

Assalamua’laikum YAB Tun dan Keluarga dan sentiasa sihat dan dipelihara Allah s.w.t. selalu Amin.
Affirmative Action : Action favouring those who tend to suffer from discrimination.Since 1970 NEP was introduced and no denial certain percentage of the indigenous achieved some height among other communities. It has been like 38 years since it inception, how long more NEP need to achieved its goal or it is already long overdue if only the implementations were carried out earnestly.
As I have earlier quoted to your earlier post(Cronyism and NEP) the fate befallen my eldest daughter. She had deprived from the faculty of her choice though with reasonable good academic and co-curriculum achievements and instead being given to a borderline student from the east coast,who later dropped to be married.What a waste.
Unless all these wrong choices be stopped during the IMPLEMENTATION
of the policy NEP will not succeed.
So,Tun that is why we see a lot of our very own malay students and intellectuals are frustrated and react away from the right directions.
Tun dear, you are not to be blamed in total but that is the scenario that I perceived why NEP seems a failure and discriminating.
Wasallam

Sebelum ini suratkhabar utusan mengatakan 100% pada PRU 12 lepas BN akan 2/3 dan sekali lagi analisis mrk adalah salah.. Pada pilihanraya kecil sekali lagi akhbar utusan sengaja membuat analisis yg salah pd pembacanya krn utusan ceritakan bagaimana hebatnya BN seperti membuat karangan bahawa mrk yakin Anwar akan kalah hari ini tetapi syukur krn Anwar bukan saja menang tetapi menang besar haha..
Akhbar kepunyaan Barisan memang tak boleh dipercayai dan tdk bertanggungjawab melaporkan berita dan apa apa analisis.. Pemuda pemudi skrg dah maju tdk senang ditipu oleh kerajaan!
Kata kata akhbar utusan dan najib memang seringkali bohong rakyat!! Akhirnya Anwar benar kembali=)

When we talk about discrimination it is almost all the time means government discriminating against the economically dominant minority. There has never been talk about discrimination in the private sector. The bumiputra are not only discriminated in the private sectors, but sometimes humiliated which psychologically makes them feel inferior. The minority especially the chinese always under rate the bumiputra to the foreigners causing foreigners to look down on the bumiputra. They dont just do that here in Malaysia, they do that also overseas. I was in Australia earlier and I was told about this by an Australian friend.
I remember when University Malaya was the only university in this country, I used to hear about Malay students being discrimated.
Singapore used to be premdominantly Malay now the Malays are the minority there. They are discriminated but their voice cant even be heard. This is “press freedom”. Fine example from Singapore. If affirmative actions are not taken, for sure Malaysia will be the next Singapore. NEP target will not be achieved forever. In fact it will be further and further away from the target because the minority will work very hard to ensure its failure and to abolish. All these are being disguised as liberalism, free speech, press freedom, trade liberalisation, meritocracy and a lot more western ideals which are meant to ensure the economically dominant minority will maintain control. I hope other countries especially the third world countries will also learn about this from Malaysia and beware.

Government should know what is the best for its people and should do everything necessary to protect its people. Its the government’s responsibility. The government should not just listen to the demand of western oriented NGOs with their disguised ideals. There is no absolute freedom. If the government dont control, other parties will impose controls. This can be from trade associations, NGOs, cultural societies etc.

Assalamualaikum all.
DSAI has won. Is he on his way to Putrajaya now? Personally, i do not wish him to be there (nor do i want Dollah to be there either).
Besides, Tun is the only PM i know since i was born.
I am not an UMNO or a PKR person. If there is such a thing as a Mahathirian, then i supposed i am one of them.
It is very disheartening to see what is happening now.
The ‘sumpah’ being ridiculed in public and politicized, the non existence of Jalur Gemilang few days before merdeka, Nurin Jazlin still yet to receive her justice.
We are so intoxicated with all this politicking that we all failed to see the most basic thing that we should do; take responsibility and care of our own backyard.
These two people mentioned above is an example of what we should not be. One is ruining our country, the other will ruin it.
Tun is not perfect but he did lay out the tracks for us. He cant force us to walk on it, it is our choice.
Unfortunately, not many people seem to notice those tracks now.
That being said, i personally hope that we take a breather from all this politicking and give the coming month of Ramadhan the respect it deserves. BN or PKR, take off those gloves, and just put our hands together, and ask for blessings from the Almighty for our beloved land. The road to Putrajaya can wait.

Dear Tun
Waking up the bumis youngsters? What can be done to the Rempits, Lepaks, Dropuots and such? Can placing them in institution for them to earn good merits to fill the bumi quotas in universities become reality?
A new education system should be implemented for these socially drifted groups. Correctional facilities set-up to ensure they qualify for a place in universities by merit or they will not join the society.
I wonder if that’s possible.

Dear Tun,
By far this has been a good article with very good interpretation of the NEP and affirmative action.
I do agree that affirmative action will bring some kind of discrimination. But don’t you think that the following sentence is true also.
By Ricardo on August 26, 2008 9:17 PM
” the issue of NEP, NEP is a good idea provided that the discrimation is against the well-to-dos and help is for the poors of all races only.”
But is that happening ? Malays are always privileged no matter their status (rich or poor).
Consider this : minimum 7% discount are given for Bumiputra house buyers regardless the cost of the house. Do you consider a Bumiputra who can afford to purchase a house costing RM 300,000 is handicapped.
NEP may have started with a noble cause but implementation of it has made other races lagging in so many areas. There is marked increase of Bumiputra students in the intakes of public universities at the expense of Non-Bumis.
By fazli on August 27, 2008 12:04 AM
Dear All,
I think these talks of PAS replacing UMNO as the champion of Malay/Islam cause is just “feel – good” story mooted by die hard PAS supporters. Let’s face it, if UMNO is erased from the country’s political scene, PAS will only be the moral guardian of the malays in the PR government. When it comes to NEP and complicated economic issues, DAP & PKR will run the show.
Think long and hard…. who will benefit the most when these scenarios takes place? A good example is REHDA (Real Estate and Housing Developer’s Association) recently made known their “wish list” for 2009 budget but did PAS said anything?? No!!!! They are too busy trying to kill off UMNO (they only have until June 2010 to do it). This is why DAP loves PAS so much.
Why is NEP not important to PAS???? Simple…. they are only interested in petty matters like Avril Lavigne concert, separate queues in supermarkets and separate public transport for different gender.It seems that with every concert cancelled, the malay/muslim in this country has taken a giant leap to heaven. Also, I wonder how millions of muslim in Europe and US survive as PAS does not exist there to protest these moral degrading and faith shattering concerts??
And the malays are now looking to this shallow party (PAS) to safeguard their rights. How pathetic and naive is that?

I have notice that most of the readers enjoyed being the top 10 to post their comments and some just “enjoyed” reading your article or view.
My question: Are we so relax that we don’t care about what is happening around us? Are we not afraid what will happen to our children in the future due to the current “volatile” political, economy and unity unstablality?
I see more readers would just act “wait and see” attitude. Am I alone who feels that we need to do something now in order to provide better oppurtunities for our children in the future?

TDM
1. The founders of this country did not agree on the NEP. If they did the NEP would be enshrined in the Constitution, which it is not.
2. Quoting from you, what the founders did agree on is that “they would eradicate poverty irrespective of race and that there should be no identification of race with economic function.” This is obviously inconsistent with the NEP.
3. I do not object to the idea of affirmative action in principle. However, people who benefit from it needs to understand that this is a form of support (a concession, if you will) given by others. It is not a right or a privilege.
4. Affirmative action should benefit all races. Can you provide some examples where the Chinese and Indians have benefited from affirmative action?
5. Affirmative action requires accountability and an expiry date. Otherwise, people who benefit from it do not feel the need to put in the effort to improve themselves. This defeats the purpose of affirmative action.
6. The NEP has failed on a few counts. First, it has become a tool to buy favour in return for political support. Second, it has largely not benefited the disadvantaged Malays but mainly those who actually don’t need the support – e.g. the Malay students who obtain scholarships are often the children of Datuks. Third, NEP is now a crutch for some Malays; they think it is their inalienable birthright. Fourth, NEP has used to subjugate the other races. It has morphed into a monster known as Ketuanan Melayu. It leads to inequality and has bred resentment among other races. In the long run, there is no way the country can be united if one race lords over the other races. Other races are made to feel like second class citizens.
7. Btw, as far as I know, affirmative action is intended to benefit the minority and not the majority.
8. The Malays really have to do some serious soul searching and not hide behind the NEP. Unless they face reality, they will be living under the misguided assumption that the oil will never run dry in the country. Ultimately, they will simply do themselves in and really, they will have no one else to blame for it other than themselves.
Cheers.

Hi Dr Mahathir, firstly let me introduce myself, the name is jeremy.It is certainly an honor to be able to communicate to you through blogging. I have been reading a lot of books that you have been writing for the past few years for example on globalization,MSC etc and all the recent videos that you were in it for example hard talk and bloomberg. Like any other malaysians i am pretty aware of our country’s economy and its political stability. I have always dreamt of a malaysia that is prosperous and united. No doubt, under your watch as prime minister everything was under control but that doesn’t mean there isnt a bubble crisis just waiting to burst. As you are a doctor you would probably know that diabetes doesn’t just happen in one day or a year, the patient is actually dying for many years before he is diagnosed with diabetes. The recent elections, is a very good sign for my metaphors, that malaysian people are getting less ignorant about their country. They might not be that “intellectual” but they believe in a united country where every single citizens benefits from it. Even the malays whom i have spoken to tells me that they want equality and a fair play, to compete fairly with everyone regardless of races. They deserve to be respected.
Tunku Abdul Aziz whom i have personally spoken to is a very good example of great men that we have in Malaysia. Tunku Aziz wants to see a better Malaysia which is free from corruption for years to come. A humble man who fights a righteous cause.
The recent downfall of BN is not due solely to our current PM but a series of events that took place long time ago that affects the outcome of the 2008 election.A butterfly effect. There’s a saying ” Like the proverbial butterfly that flaps its wings on one continent and eventually causes a hurricane on another”.
Nevertheless, my respect is to you Dr Mahathir.
With kind regards from
A pharmacist and economist,
Jeremy

Salam to all,
Walau 100..1000 tahun lagi bangsa Melayu akan terus layu..
kata orang jika disebut Me”layu” 44 kali maka akan layulah ia..
1.Melayu lemah kerana tidak menghayati agamanya – Islam.
2.Pemimpin melayu tidak ikhlas membimbing orang melayu menghayati Islam. Islam sebagai mainan dibibir sahaja untuk raih undi.
3. Pembimbing Islam (Ustaz/pendidik/ulamak dll) lebih kearah menegakkan fahaman politi masing2. Tidak peduli tentang amanah asal iaitu membimbing orang Islam kearah yang lebih baik.
Jika depa ni amanah maka tidak akan ada (atau kuranglah) masalah sosial yang semakin parah (rasuah,dadah, buang anak) begitu juga dgn masalah keperibadian yang negatif dapat diperbaiki.
Melayu lemah?
Siapa peduli? …. Tiada siapa.
Perlu ke peduli? .. Tidak!! masing2 ada akal usaha sendirilah! Jika malas..tak makan..lantak le..
I am not Melayu but I am Malay

Assalamualaikum Tun,
As always your words continue to inspire us especially the malays to move forward. It has always been the challenge for the malays to be able to compete on a level playing field with the other races as well as the world.
On another matter, I’m currently reading Mahathir Mohamad An Illustrated Biography.
A very interesting book for me. I found that the reading habit has been nurtured into you when you were young. I also found that when you were young you were not allowed to go outside your house compound. Although your father was a strict disciplinarian, it has made you a better person. Your first love later became your wife. Thats true love I would say. Very seldom we can find that nowadays.
Will there ever be another leader like you?
Happy Merdeka and Selamat Menyambut Ketibaan Bulan Ramadhan.
