But, hey, the sure did fool everyone by playing the fool, and went on to become one of the most prosperous communities in Malaysia WITH LITTLE HELP FROM Vincent Tan,So, here's a poser for everyone who laughed at them! Why can't others also share the same secret of success? Start cracking joke at yourself or your community, and sure enough, everyone would start doing well. Did you notice that CHINESE and HINDUS are also quite prosperous and apparently, they also don't mind being the centre of a joke. Maybe, there is a possibility that cracking jokes at one's self would bring down the stress levels and help people concentrate on their work with light hearts and minds instead of burning with jealousy at your competitor's success!

Relationship with Daim, Chia

Unfortunately that also produced some excesses that the country could take decades to correct. eric chia court case acquittal 260607 thumbs upBy Wain’s reckoning, the country wasted as much as RM100 billion (US$40 billion at exchange rates at the time) on grandiose projects such as the Perwaja steel plant, which lost an estimated US$800 million and whose executive director, Eric Chia (right), was charged with embezzling large amounts of money.

Chia, however, was freed by a Malaysian judiciary system that Mahathir had basically gutted and rebuilt to serve the interests of the state.

Wain writes about Mahathir’s relationship with Daim Zainuddin (below), the one-time finance minister who dismissed concerns about the commingling of his public and private interests, among a wide range of cronies who ultimately became a rentier class that did huge damage to the country’s coffers.

The Entertainment Tax imposed on lottery and gaming business is over and above the Income Tax. IOW, these businesses are paying an extra tax - tax meant to fund social welfare works of the government. The Social Welfare Lottery too pays these taxes - these are the additional 'burden' that gaming companies pay as a 'moral compromise'.

Who is Vincent Tan trying to fool? He’s offering RM525m for charity (what a paradox). Yet, studies have found that the potential for sports gambling is in the billions PER DAY.

:

The stronger media gets, the easier it becomes to manipulate it. For all the screechy aggression, we see particularly on television, it works on some rudimentary principles. Here are some easy ways to use television to your advantage.

1. Use strong language and splutter frequently with contrived rage. This makes for intense television, and gives the audience a vicarious sense of power. Sock it to 'em, vierwers intone with glazed eyes as a panelist rubbishes another. Intemperate language is a must if you want to be on TV. Ask Varun Gandhi. When was he on our screens before or after?

2. Don't worry about the content of what you say, just speak very loudly and be sure to interrupt the moderator. Remember, his or her primary role is to interrupt the other panelist loudly and frequently and this is war. Nobody will remember what you say in any case, they will only remember how noisy you were. If you do not let others be heard, you win. Of course, the moderator will always win.

3. Use twitter. The same thing said on twitter needs fewer words, little knowledge of grammar, no justification and is for some reason, very cool and new age. You will attract many followers and in the event of the mournful demise of your career because of a twitchy twitter finger, you will be hailed as a new age politician or sports administrator. If you are a celebrity, make sure that the twitter-twatter of your messages includes other celebrities. If you do this, media gets two celebrities for the price of one in a headline.

4. Give television channels something to show. Filling up hours of time is not easy and there are only so many film star spats to cover in slow motion. It helps of course if you are attractive, or a celebrity, but if you are not hang out with those who are. In the worst case, do something that can be shot. Break some windows, if no other ideas spring to mind. Conversely, if you are the subject of a controversy, make sure you give channels nothing interesting to show. Dry up visuals and the story will sooner or later, die.

5. Get outraged easily and publicly. Call yourself an organization, give it a righteous sounding name and launch attacks on cricketers, film stars and any new film. You have to do very little to be on all national channels- maybe rough up a few completely innocent people, file a case in an obscure court thirsting to issue warrants to Sania Mirza, Mandira Bedi or Khushboo or announce a boycott, if you cannot rustle up a fatwa. Don't waste your time getting outraged about things that actually matter- nobody wants to cover thousands protesting against lack of drinking water, but four people talking about the insult to bhangra make for better television.

6. Say nothing deep on television. In particular, do not appear as if you are thinking about you are going to say. Blurt out the first thing that comes to your head and make sure to speak continuously without any pauses. Thinking is dangerous and has extremely limited visual appeal. Besides, it takes up too much time.

7. Always blame someone. Focus on people not issues. Television is about people, not things. And it is about blame, not understanding. Who is responsible, the moderator will thunder. Thunder back. When someone attacks you for something wrong you have done, do not attempt to respond. Instead attack them for whatever wrong they have done. If they bring up Gujarat, it is foolish to try and reply. Bring up Delhi 1984 instead. The fun thing about this game is that is can go on endlessly. After all, both sides are hardly likely to run out of ammunition.

8. Deny wrongdoing stoutly. It doesn't matter if you are caught accepting a bribe on camera, or have slapped a junior officer in public, or have described the minority community in inappropriate terms on national television, dismiss it as a conspiracy. Thanks to the rumours about the progress made by digital technology, we no longer believe our eyes or ears. It can all be attributed to technological manipulation. If for some reason, you have to apologise, remember you can get away by saying anything as long as you use the word 'sorry' in the sentence."I am sorry about the way my remarks were misconstrued and I regret the offence caused by any misunderstanding that might have occurred", for instance is a great way of seemingly apologizing while calling everyone else idiots for not understanding what you said.

9. When attacked, do not defend yourself on the substance of the attack. Seek refuge instead in an emotionally resonant collective identity. This is a good time to remember that you are a dalit, a woman in a man's world or a Malayali proud of his heritage. An attack on you is an attack on your collective. It works even better if you can use some local word like manoos or asmita.

10. If everything fails, wait. The media gets bored easily. Either offer them tedious explanations or just lie low. You will be forgotten, and even better be remembered only for being once famous. The more brazen you are, the more you will be respected. In this country everybody gets a second chance. You can be captain of your cricket team, fix matches and still get to be fielded successfully as a candidate for the Parliament. Who could I be talking about? Can't remember

‘In a report dated May 26, 2006, Mayban Securities had estimated that the value of daily legal gaming was RM850 million, with illegal gambling estimated at around the same amount. This gives the total size of estimated daily gambling in Malaysia at around RM1.7 billion.

"Assuming that this amount is doubled during the World Cup month, there may be an additional RM1.7 billion being gambled daily," the report had said.’

That would mean Vincent could make at least RM500 million PER DAY during the World Cup. After the World Cup, there’s the English Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and many more prestigious football competitions throughout Europe.

I expect Vincent Tan will recoup the RM525 million he plans to donate to a charity body he owns in a blink of an eye. It’s only a day’s worth of business, Vincent.

So, no, you don’t get to fool us again, Vincent Tan. The people already know the role you played in toppling the Perak government. Do you really think the people will be fooled again by another one of Vincent’s famous theatricals?

Also, the idea of using ‘vice’ for charity is paradoxical, isn’t it? Charities are meant to spread good to humanity. Vincent plans to spread goodness to humanity by using funds from the vice industry.

So, again, another one of Vincent’s theatrical gone bad.

All I know, Vincent is a front man for UMNO. The gambling industry is owned by UMNO and money from the gambling industry flows like a river to PWTC. Vincent is just a face used to hide the real owners -- that is UMNO.

RM525m donation is chickenfeed......compared to the enormous potential market for sports betting

1. The sports betting market is worth anywhere between RM7 billion to RM20 billion annually. So what is a one-off RM525 million donation compared to that?

2. How much is Robin Tan’s 30 per cent share in Ascot now worth? Will he sell it to the public and donate the proceeds to charity too?

3. Ascot is likely to be another cash cow for Berjaya Corporation. Even after the sale of his 70 per cent interest in Ascot, Vincent Tan holds a 25 per cent direct interest and a 28 per cent deemed interest in Berjaya Corporation, according to Berjaya Corp’s 2009 Annual Report.

4. Vincent and Robin Tan are among the five trustees of the Better Malaysia Foundation.

http://national-express-malaysia.blogspot.com/2010/06/rm525m-donation-is-chicken-feed.html

*************************************************

According to Vincent Tan, Ascot Sports is projected to make RM125 million in profits per year. The Price Earnings Ratio for gaming counters on the Bursa Malaysia or Malaysian Stock Exchange ranges from 15 to 20 times. This means the RM125 million profits (calculated at RM125 million x 15) would come to a market capitalisation or market worth of RM1.875 billion.

Now, if a factor of 20 were used (RM125 million x 20), then it would come to RM2.5 billion instead. This would mean that the argument in the two articles above, in that RM525 million is pittance, would be credible.

And since Vincent Tan and his family own more than 50% of Berjaya, the gains in their net worth is between RM937.5 million to RM1.25 billion.

That is the real scenario.

The latest edition of Malaysian Business quotes Berjaya as saying that they expect Ascot’s profit from the new gaming licence to be higher than the RM125 million that was declared. The actual profit, says Berjaya, would be between RM320 million to RM385 million.

Okay, let us average it at RM350 million per year. Based on a PE Ratio of 15, this would come to RM5.25 billion, and on a PE Ratio of 20 it would come to RM7 billion.

So, again, what is RM525 million? Pittance. What Berjaya is getting in return is many, many more times that. So the ‘charity’ gesture of RM525 million does not impress me one bit. After all, you need to place a prawn on the hook to catch a big fish, do you not? So, don’t look at the prawn on the hook, which Vincent Tan would like us to focus on. Look at the big fish, which this prawn is going to catch, which Vincent Tan would rather we not see.

Furthermore, Vincent Tan’s asset worth has been listed as in excess of RM5 billion. Against the backdrop of an asset base of more than RM5 billion, can you now see that RM525 million is a small percentage of what he is worth? And add the billions he is now going to make on his gaming licence -- hey, even I would ‘donate’ half a billion ringgit if that ‘donation’ can win me a licence that multiplies this multi-fold.

And where would I get that half a billion ringgit? Simple, any towkay would gladly ‘upfront’ me half a billion ringgit if what I will gain from that gaming licence would run into billions. And are not towkays normally behind the Malay business tycoons anyway?

Look at Vincent Tan’s statement again. "By legalising sports betting... the government could earn annual revenue of up to RM3 billion ringgit through taxes."

Okay, if the taxes alone come to RM3 billion per year, how much do you think the profits are going to be? Do your own arithmetic and work it out. I am sure it would be easy enough for most of you. Just multiply that by four. Would that not come to more than RM1 billion per month?

Well, over to you, Vincent -- your turn to reply. And be careful how you reply. We are not as stupid as we look.

Vincent has said he will donate the sale of 70% of the shares in Ascots and the proceeds would go to his charity. The main thing we should be looking for is, who will buy this 70% majority control shares? It is *this* person who would be making a killing in the long term.

As a compromise with the sanctimonious rakyat over 'moral issues', we should suggest that Vincent do not sell the 70% shares but donate the shares to a publicly held charity (not his own). So the public charity now becomes the majority shareholder in perpetuity! And they get to keep the supposedly billions they would profit each year.

Sports gaming cannot be banned. If PR states proceeds in attempting to ban it in their states, it would eventually lead to a clash between enforcement officers, and organised crime, who are in cohoots with the police! The police don't take orders from the state governments. Rather they will prevent the enforcement officers from disturbing the legitimate business activities of citizens.


1. Which study proves that cash term football gambling will minimize illegal punters which are mostly on credit terms?

2. Which study proves that legalizing football gambling will not significantly entice more non-gamblers to start gambling?

3. Which study proves that legalizing football gambling will not have an effect on the number of robberies, thieveries and domestic problems?

4. Why is there no open tender for the license? Who the hell is Vincent Tan that only he can get the license?

5. By donating some or even all proceeds to charity does not change the fact that gambling is still gambling.

6. Ascot will not make any losses if it is to only start operation after World Cup 2010. It merely makes less profit. But once the operation starts, money is going to flow in like a fallen Bakun dam.

Being richer doesn't make you any more clever. So please stop taking us as idiots like you and your friends.

If you tell me that the money will be given back to the people in terms of developement and Country building or charity, i think you can forget about it. The People are fed up with all the lies BN is spewing.

Even if you can promised the People that this money will NOT be for buying frogs and killing off the Pakatan Rakyat's struggle to lead a better Nation, I don't think so the majority of us will or can accept it. Unless you say Malaysia is NOT an Islamic Country and those money will NOT be haram to the Muslim People. Don't forget Malaysia is an active member of the OIC too.

May I suggest you go to China with your World Cup license now as the market there is many times bigger then Malaysia. Make the money there and channel back to Malaysia. I'm sure many will agree to this.

A friend forwarded me an email with a selection of photos taken at a recent gala housewarming party hosted by Mukhriz Mahathir. The images were from a local gossip blog and merely revealed without commentary the Gatsbyesque garishness and pompousness of Mukhriz Mahathir’s lifestyle preferences…

I decided to turn these images into a blogpost and began editing the photos. When I was ready to upload I discovered my Streamyx connection down again (third time within two weeks!) – this time it was due to a dysfunctional phone line. That happened around 3:00PM Saturday.

It’s almost 2:00PM Monday as I type this and Telekom has been unable to get my line working. Each time this happens I think of Mahathir and his privatization program and vow to do everything within my power to prevent Mukhriz Mahathir from establishing a Mahathir dynasty.

We need another dynasty of arrogant mediocrity like we need a great big hole in our wallets!

This blogpost comes to you from the same cybercafe I had to use every day for 3 years, while waiting for Telekom to provide me a land line.

Back in 1975, when I was living at 7 Pesiaran Ampang Hilir, I applied for a phone and was made to wait nearly 3 years. Telekom’s monumental lack of enthusiasm over the notion of progress is perhaps a quaint and wonderful cultural trait – but I don’t think it does a telco’s public image any good.

Looking at the new mansion that Mukhriz Mahathir built, one can’t help but speculate about how much it might have cost…

A wild guess might put the overall cost between RM15-20 million.

Apart from shooting his mouth off at every opportunity and coming across as an overconfident moron (the worst type of moron, if you ask me), what DOES Mukhriz Mahathir actually do? Does he have any marketable skills or special talents?

Is he a financial whizkid, for instance? I doubt it. Mutual friends assure me that Mukhriz Mahathir can be quite a charming and affable fellow. Maybe so, but does being “charming and affable” mean you can afford to live in a multi-million ringgit mansion?

I know his elder brother Mirzan is ranked among the richest men in Asia (read somewhere he was worth USD8.5 billion a couple of years ago)… I guess when your daddy is Mahathir or Suharto it’s impossible to fail in business, no matter how hard you try.

So how do you suppose Mukhriz amassed his fortune? Surely not on his cabinet minister’s salary? Does he have a couple of hit albums on the charts?

I don’t have a problem with people who strike it rich by fortuitously stumbling on a cave filled with pirate treasure… or who inherited a fortune from their tycoon fathers… or who invented something the world finds useful – like the personal computer or iPhone or Google…

But Mukhriz Mahathir’s dad is a politician. To be precise, he was prime minister for 22 years. He has publicly lashed out against corruption and Umno-style money politics (while privately stashing his store of nuts away in offshore hiding places, no doubt). So did daddy give Mukhriz this mansion as a birthday present, for boldly speaking out against Abdullah Badawi’s lameness and making snide remarks about the seriousness of Anwar’s sodomy accusations?

Guess we’ll never know… unless Marina spills the beans!
