Malaysiakini Attacks Dr Mahathir, Free Malaysia Today Defends Him
MALAYSIA SHOULD JUST CANCEL THE GOLDMAN SACHS BOND DEAL, THE CHINESE ECRL DEAL AND THE SINGAPORE WATER AGREEMENT.
I think that last part should wake up my friend Mr Vanu Gopala Menon the Singapore High Commissioner in Kuala Lumpur.
I have said this before (when my blog was less popular and maybe people do not recall it or grasped the thought) but when Ho Chi Minh liberated Vietnam from the French, among the first things he did was to repudiate (cancel, abolish, batalkan) ALL international treaties that had been entered into by colonial Vietnam under the French.
Ho Chi Minh said that the new independent Vietnam would not be held responsible or liable for treaties imposed upon its people by the colonials and their corrupt local cronies. This was a very fair statement and Ho Chi Minh did follow through on what he said. Hence the western banks and business interests waged their war against Vietnam. The French and American taxpayers' expenditure on the war helped them recoup some of their monies lost in Vietnam.
In the same way when we became Independent in 1957 I believe we should have repudiated ALL treaties entered into by colonial Malaya under the absolute control of the colonial British. Including the Singapore Water Agreements.
I do not wish to alarm the Singapore High Commissioner too much. Singapore needs security of water supply. I strongly believe and support that Malaysia should supply MORE of Singapore's water requirements. But on a fair basis.
I believe a Malaysia Singapore Water Agreement should consist of just two lines:
1. Malaysia shall supply water to Singapore in perpetuity. (This takes care of the water security issue for Singapore).
2. The supply of water shall be according to terms dictated by Malaysia and agreed upon by Singapore.
(This will enable Malaysia as owner of the water resources to protect its commercial rights as well as give Singapore the buyer its rights as a paying consumer. Water supply to Singapore should be no different from water supply to Johor Bahru or Kuala Lumpur.)
If the Singaporeans had more sense they would agree to repudiate the old colonial agreement and negotiate something that is better acceptable.
Similarly that Goldman Sachs bond agreement (for 1MDB) obviously had criminal intent (money corruption). The Goldman Sachs banker who arranged the 1MDB bond deal has since faced investigation and been found guilty of wrong doing in at least one country. The crooked former Prime Minister who authorised it had criminal intent and has been implicated by the US DOJ and is also facing criminal charges in Malaysia. That Goldman Sachs bond agreement should just be repudiated. Malaysia does not have to honour a criminal act.
Malaysia should pass an Act of Parliament and announce to the world that we are repudiating that entire bond deal. That will teach a real lesson to the fraudulent bankers.
The same thing with the Chinese ECRL contracts. Obviously they have been overpriced. The Chinese also paid monies in advance. It was a corrupt deal where the ex Prime Minister and his cronies were involved. It is public knowledge that the project amount announced by the Moron Prime Minister was much higher than the figure released by the Chinese themselves. Someone made some money from kickbacks.
It is good that Dr Mahathir says the ECRL project is now canned. I strongly suggest that Malaysia DO NOT pay any compensation or damages or claims. The whole contract should just be repudiated. The ECRL contract was entered into by a kleptocratic government headed by a thief and a crook. Why should the Malaysian people be burdened with the obligation to pay for someone else's thievery? What kind of justice is that?
Anyway here is today's story. I received an early morning phone call when I was watering the young trees in our compound. So here it is.
There is a theory that some of the Online media in the country are conducting a proxy war of sorts for their relevant masters, for the politics that they agree with or just for the heck of it.
Malaysiakini for example is said to be the proxy for the DAP.
Free Malaysia Today is strongly for the success of the Pakatan Harapan especially for Tun Dr Mahathir's leadership. I dont think FMT gets any other support from say Bersatu .
Now, before I go any further my personal view is this is fantastic. This is great. This is what I mean by a free Press. You write what you want, you take sides with whoever you want. You can be straight forward, honest, devious, dishonest, crafty, slimy, simple Sammy or whatever. That is your right. I will defend your right to say whatever you want to say. Dont expect me to agree with whatever you say but go ahead and say it.
Lets not be childish and take offense at every little or big thing that is said about us. You want to play the game, then please grow up. So Malaysiakini, whoever you are aligned with, all the best to you.
The DAP - Malaysiakini link is obviously to promote the DAP. But since May 9th there has been some refocus.
The idea is to politically weaken Tun Dr Mahathir and perhaps boost up the Brader. Since May 9th Tun Dr Mahathir has become a strong leader again and not easily 'bought over' - even with only 13 seats in Parliament.
The Brader on the other hand has multiple skeletons in his closet and is more "manageable". Plus he is low on the intelligence level as well.
Folks, this is politics. This is how the game is played. It is not a game for kids. May the best man win.
Malaysiakini is "taking the lead" against Tun Dr Mahathir the Prime Minister with provocative opinions and reports, such as this one (from today I think) :
Yesterday Malaysiakini published a blistering "Letter" about Dr Mahathir's "failed" trip to China that has tripped a few radar sets along the editorial lines. It was supposed to be a letter from an Anoynymous reader but the fact that it appeared so quickly (after Dr M's appearance with the Chinese Premier) and was well articulated suggests that the Anon could have been an insider. Or even from the DAP.

I agree with some points in the letter.
I believe Dr Mahathir did go to China to tell them in their face that indeed "they are engaging in corruption (the ECRL scandals etc) and they are harbouring criminals (JoLo)."
But the Chinese would also have noticed that Dr Mahathir did not spend FIVE FULL DAYS in China just to tell the Chinese "I dont like you anymore".
What Malaysiakini has forgotten is that when he was out of government from 2003 until 2018, China was one of Dr Mahathir's favourite countries to visit. Dr M has also engaged in personal correspondence with Xi JinPing advising Xi to increase the size of Chinese cargo trains (the actual size of the coaches) so that they can carry more cargo without having to increase the number of trains. This will save investment in trains for China's OBOR (One Belt One Road) plans.
So Malayisakini saying :
1. This must have been a big slap in the face for China
2. clearest proof that all did not go well with Mahathir's visit to China.
3. Another two slaps were delivered when Mahathir said in Beijing
4. his visit has been a disaster
bla bla is their positioning. Good for M'kini.
You can read FMT's article that rebuts M'kini's views on Dr Mahathir's China visit here : Dr M’s China trip a disaster? Nonsense, say ex-diplomats
