The opposition leaderDatuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reiterate his populist economic philosophy that national wealth must be shared among the rakyat. "
"Wealth cannot revolve around the few, it should become the motivator to liberate society from oppression and tyranny. This is what we emphasise to be a human economy.
"An economy built on human principles of man as a moral being and not merely homo economicus who only prioritises one's self," he said in his Aidilfitri message today.
Drawing parallels to the story in the Quran which related how Prophet Muhammad engineered the opening of
Anwar bid the rakyat to be patient for Pakatan Rakyat's manifesto for change to be realised.
"The success that was achieved certainly did not happen in the blink of an eye. Two years before the Opening of Mecca, a treaty known as Hudaibiyyah was sealed between Rasulullah S.A.W. and the Quraisy clan.
"None doubted the treatise. Yet clearly there were advantages behind the readiness and patience of Rasulullah S.A.W. in accepting the contract...As soon as the Treaty of Hudaibiyyah was sealed, Allah issued a commandment:
'Truly, for your struggle (O Muhammad) We have opened a path to victory that is clearly to be seen,'" Anwar highlighted.
"The change that we desire to implement is based on solid blocks of stones, a distant cry from the empty rhetoric based on hate and dispute," he said.
He added: "We must ensure that this country is not swallowed up by the fires of partisanship and sunk with reckless dogmatism. Remember 'who sows the wind will reap a hurricane’."
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stood by his views contained in a leaked video of the National Civics Bureau (BTN) which was made available in Umno-owned blogs, saying its courses have gotten worse now.
A video dated in the early 1990s, shows Anwar defending Malays' special privileges and saying these rights should not be questioned by non-Malays.
“In the historical context during our agreement in 1957, we gave citizenship to the immigrants (pendatang). Since we have given them (immigrants) citizenship, the question of the Malay’s special privileges should not arise,” he said in a video-taped BTN session.
The opposition leader and former deputy prime minister says he has nothing to hide and blames BTN for leaking the videos.
“I don't have any problems with that because I know (of it).
“I would anticipate that BTN in its crooked ways will not dare release all the videos of all the speeches. So what they would do is selective and will quote out of context and release," he told reporters in the Parliament lobby today.
“I will defend my position. That was the position then as I know as Umno vice-president or deputy-president, it has gotten worse since 98, this selective release is actually by BTN because they don't have the courage to deal and face (it) head on. So they leaked to Umno bloggers,” he added.
Anwar also challenged BTN to release videos of other Umno leaders in the civics course.
“If they have the courage, they should release all of the speeches. I want to hear the speeches of all the leaders including mine. They would not do this because this is typical BTN methods of cowards,” he added.
BTN has come under public scrutiny recently after Pakatan Rakyat-ruled Selangor prohibited state civil servants and students in state-owned institutions of higher education from attending its courses, claiming that they were indoctrination camps by the Barisan Nasional government — aimed at brainwashing Malaysians to hate opposition parties.
PR leaders and former participants have also claimed that the courses were racist and emphasised the idea of Malay supremacy.
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 14 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stood by his views contained in a leaked video of the National Civics Bureau (BTN) which was made available in Umno-owned blogs, saying its courses have gotten worse now.

The point I'm trying to make here is that the present system of politics practiced by ALL members of BN, ie., UMNO, MCA, MIC, Gerakan, and others does not allow smart, fair, and capable politicians to rise to the top. Only those who are connected and have access to finances plundered from ordinary Malaysians somehow rise to positions of importance in present day Malaysia.
Anyway you look at it, the system is fucked!
I believe this is symptomatic of a bigger problem at large which allows incompetent politicians to rise to the top of the political hierarchy of our ruling elites. Either you can shout racist slogans well or you can bodek yourself close to the thieves and your career path is mapped out for you, never mind that you are an idiot!
(Image from bernardcometh.blogspot.com)Is it any wonder if we have incompetent idiots within our ruling elites of the cabinet?
I'm referring to the presentation of KPIs to PM Najib today by the various ministries in his cabinet at the Sunway Pyramid Centre in PJ today.
The Malaysian Insider reports "10 ministers miss deadline, KPI one month late".
I do not know how many of the 25 ministries were required to submit their KPI's today but 10 of them missed the deadline!
Now imagine that if you are in the private sector and 10 of your 25 departments failed to meet your deadline? It would mean that your organization is in serious trouble because close to half your department heads failed to carry out the task you assigned them.
It would mean that either you as the boss set too ridiculous a time frame for the task to be completed, or that your department heads do not take seriously your instructions or worse still are too incompetent to do what was tasked!Is it any wonder that our country is in trouble when 10 of 25 ministries failed to meet a simple deadline or a CEO who is out of touch with reality?
The more important question is what PM Najib would do about it? Does Najib understand that the "company" belongs to the shareholders and the shareholders are getting restless because of the declining stock value?
The shareholders are tired of the company being run by idiots! Simply put, sack or be SACKED!
