Umno pembela atau penjahanam/pembuli Melayu?
Singapura dapat Pulau Batu Putih dari Umno. Begitu juga tamatnya Landasan Keretapi Tanah Melayu dari Johor Bahru - Woodlands ke Tanjung Pagar., pun atas ehsan Pemimpin Politik Umno. Walhal Singapura asalnya merupakan sebahagian JOHORE (Johor Empayer) Atas sebab itu Sultan Johor dan Kerabatnya bebas keluar masuk Singapura tanpa proses Imagrasen. Singapura adalah hadiah terbesar dan gadaian tanah terbesar Melayu, angkara Umno kepada Kaum Pendatang China.
Oleh yang demikian wajarkah Umno dibenarkan berkuasa kembali?

17 Nov 2016 - Pihak British dan Belanda sebenarnya tidak memiliki hak untuk memindahkan pemilikan wilayah secara sesuka hati melainkan dengan ...Perjanjian Bangkok 1909
Perjanjian Inggeris-Siam 1909, dikenali juga sebagai Perjanjian Bangkok 1909, ialah perjanjian antara United Kingdom dan Thailandpada 1909. Perjanjian ini ditandatangani di Istana Raja Siam di Bangkok pada 10 Mac 1909 dan diratifikasikan pada 9 Julai 1909. Kajayaan perjanjian ini sebenarnya diusahakan dan dimulakan bersungguh-sungguh oleh Edward Henry Strobel Penasihat Hal Ehwal Luar Negeri Kerajaan Siam[1]. Beliau mendapati beberapa perjanjian yang dimeterai bersama Britain sebelum dia bertugas pada tahun 1906 di Siam merugikan Siam terutamanya hal ehwal perdagangan dua hala dan keistimewaan lain seperti dalam Bowring (1855) dan Perjanjian Rahsia (1897). Oleh itu, beliau telah menyatakan kepada W.D Beckett seorang pegawai pejabat kedutaan British di Bangkok pada tahun 1907 akan hasratnya untuk menyeimbangkan kedudukan hubungan perdagangan dan memansuhkan hak keistimewaan Britain di Siam dengan kesediaanya memujuk Raja Chulalongkorn menyerahkan negeri-negeri Melayu Utara seperti Kedah, Terangganu dan Kelantan sahaja kepada Britain sebagai ganjaran[2]. Tawaran itu mendapat reaksi positif daripada Ralph Paget, Duta Britain ke Siam serta Sir John Anderson, Pesuruhjaya Tinggi Negeri-Negeri Melayu Bersekutu dan Gabenor Negeri-Negeri Selat apabila Strobel menulis cadangan itu secara bertulis seperti berikut:
The Progress of Siam has been such of late years that i think the time has arrived when this goverment may look forward to more control over its own affairs and to less interference from without. To obtain such control is, my opinion well worth sacrificeof territory over which the Goverment does not excercise effective control and about which questions of difficulty may arise. ''In pursuance, therefore, of such policy of which the late Treaty with France is an example, I should be willing to propose to the Siamese Government the cession to Great Britain of the states of Kelantan, Trengganu, and Kedah, provided that the British Government would be willing to make the following concessions 1. The abrogation of the Secret Agreement of 1897; 2. The giving up of exterritoriality, at least to the extent which has been yield by France by the Treaty of the 23rd March this year.'[3]

TK Chua, Free Malaysia Today
Sometimes I am just amazed by the new government and its so-called new resolve. Despite its pragmatism, the issues being considered are myopic and even stupid. I am referring to the “crooked bridge” currently being considered.
Both Singapore and Malaysia have repeatedly claimed to be good neighbours. But I wonder why the two countries can’t even sit down to talk sense for once, for the benefit of both nations.
Singapore has so many dealings with Malaysia. I am sure the republic can be persuaded to replace the causeway with a “normal” bridge to facilitate movement of ships and boats along the Johor Strait. I am sure Singapore could benefit from it too, although the proposal comes from Malaysia.

FMT – Of crooked bridges and crooked relations by TK Chua(extracts):
Sometimes I am just amazed by the new government and its so-called new resolve. Despite its pragmatism, the issues being considered are myopic and even stupid. I am referring to the “crooked bridge” currently being considered.
TK Chua should have added one more ‘crooked’ description, to wit, ‘crooked thinking’ by the Maddy Bodek-ites.
The government is screaming of humongous debts left by BN and the necessity of severe cutbacks including cancellation of a number of multi-billion ringgit infrastructure projects.
Yet we are now hearing of National Car No 3, man-made island in Middle Rocks and now the resurrection of the infamous Crooked Bridge.
These contradictions in terms are bewildering, annoying and bespeaks of the government’s questionable governance and policies.
TK Chua, the author of letter to FMT wrote:

Building the crooked bridge would just be so uncool. It would permanently epitomise the crooked relationship between Malaysia and Singapore, showing that both Malaysia and Singapore are governed by intransigent and hard-headed people out to get each other.
Obviously TK Chua might not be aware of the proposed ‘crooked bridge’ saga. The reason why it was designed to be crooked by Mahathir and his cohorts was because Singapore had previously NOT agreed to altering the current causeway into a bridge.
The Sings saw no benefit to the Island State and thus said ‘NO’. As to be expected, the usual Mahathir angry response as then-PM was to do what he WANTS on the Malaysian side as he wished. Thus the birth of the proposed ‘crooked bridge’ came about.

Mahathir and his never-ending ‘crooked bridge’ – Malaysia Today
Ageing Japan: Unclaimed burial urns pile up in Japan amid fraying social ties
(Reuters) – Unclaimed urns containing ashes of the dead are piling up by the thousands across Japan, creating storage headaches and reflecting fraying family ties and economic pressures in a rapidly ageing nation.
The identities of the dead, cremated at public expense, are usually known. But in most cases, relatives either refuse or don’t respond to requests to collect their remains. Burials can be costly and time-consuming, a burden on family members who may hardly know the deceased relative.
“When I die, though I have only ¥150,000 yen (RM5,547), will you cremate me and put me in a pauper’s grave? I have no one to collect my remains,” said a note left by a man in his 70s in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo, who died in 2015 and whose urn was later buried at a local temple.
The abandoned remains highlight social, economic and demographic changes in Japan, where more elderly live on welfare and families are more scattered, weakening traditional family bonds and obligations.
It is a problem that is likely to grow, experts say; deaths in Japan are projected to rise from 1.33 million a year to 1.67 million by 2040, even as the overall population drops.
Yokosuka was so overwhelmed with unclaimed urns that it ran out of space in a 300-year-old charnel house that was about to collapse. It combined ashes of different people into a much smaller number of urns that it now stores in a hillside cave, with about 50 newer urns accumulating at the city office.
“Space to store them is running out,” said Hitomi Nakamura, an official in Saitama city, north of Tokyo, where the number of unclaimed urns has grown sharply the last few years to more than 1,700.
“Many elderly people are living on welfare,” he added, “and many of them may be estranged from their families”.
With Japanese wages barely growing, and many children of the elderly living on pensions themselves, managing death costs, including arranging for their burial, can be a burden.
A traditional funeral, including food, drinks and gifts for guests, and hiring a Buddhist monk to chant sutras, can cost ¥2 million or more, industry sources say.
New businesses have sprung up offering no-frills funerals for US$2,000 (RM8,371) to US$4,000, but other costs can add up, including the hundreds of dollars it may cost to bury the urn at a temple or cemetery.
Poor elderly
There are more elderly poor than in years past, some of whom cannot afford their own funerals. Nearly 3 per cent of elderly were on welfare in 2015, almost double the rate two decades earlier, government statistics show. Just over half of all Japanese on welfare are 65 or older.
“There are more people who die alone, with no one to look after cremated remains because of weaker family relationships,” said Hisako Makimura, a visiting professor of sociology at Kansai University.
In decades past, it was not uncommon for three generations of family to live together. But experts say that as Japan’s economy has changed, couples have fewer children, and people tend to move farther from home for work, among other factors.
Nearly 6,000 urns have accumulated in the southern city of Fukuoka, while Osaka, in western Japan, buried the remains of 2,366 people in a communal grave this year after no one claimed them after one or two years.
The number of Japanese age 65 and older will swell from 28 per cent of the population to 36 per cent by 2040, according to the government-backed National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.
“Families and communities used to play roles of taking care of deceased people,” Makimura said. “But the burden on local governments will likely grow as their involvement in dealing with the dead increases.”
‘So relieved’
In Yokosuka, more elderly are dying without leaving funeral instructions or information about relatives.
City officials comb through their homes and census registries, and try to contact family members through the mail, often to no avail.
“The dead are ordinary citizens. It could happen to anyone,” said Kazuyuki Kitami, a city official. “These bones are warning those of us who are alive that we are poorly prepared.”
Noticing that many unclaimed remains were from poor elderly people, Yokosuka in 2015 started an “ending plan support” service for low-income residents with no immediate family members.
Individuals pay at least a fifth of the ¥250,000 cremation and burial costs, with the government covering the rest. Dozens have signed up, and in May the city made similar services available to anyone.
“I feel so relieved,” said Sumitaka Haraguchi, 80, after signing up for the service and ensuring he will be buried at a local temple.
Haraguchi never married and hasn’t seen his three step-siblings in many years, so he worried what would happen to his remains when he died.
“My days have changed,” he said from his nursing home. “I feel calm.”
Malays Will Eventually All Unite Under PPBM
Yes, there can only be one tiger on the mountain. Mahathir cannot share the mountain with Umno and Anwar. Umno needs to die and Anwar needs to be castrated. Sabah and Sarawak will always join the winner so they will swing to PPBM. The Malays will unite under PPBM and DAP will crawl into the corner and shut their mouth. That is what Wawasan 2020 is all about.THE CORRIDORS OF POWER
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Some say Umno should reinvent itself. Some say Barisan Nasional needs to be reformed. They might as well say the Nazi Party of Germany needs a transformation program to become relevant and acceptable to the Germans again.
Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad made very sure that Umno and Barisan Nasional no longer have any future in Malaysian politics. Mahathir believes in the doctrine that one must never wound an adversary, one must kill it. And Mahathir killed Umno and Barisan Nasional.
There are only two ways a political party can come to power. One would be to cut across all races and be equally acceptable to Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sikhs, plus the natives of Sabah and Sarawak. The other would be to become a ‘hardcore’ party and be supported by not less than 85% of the Malay electorate.
Pakatan Harapan, a coalition of four parties, is the first. Umno, on the other hand, is neither here nor there. It does not have absolute Malay support and neither does it have the support of the non-Malays and the natives of East Malaysia.
Umno may soon face the fate of the Communist Party of Malaya, a relic of the past and no longer required today. This is the reality facing Umno and, by extension, Barisan Nasional.
When Umno was deregistered in 1988, Mahathir formed Umno Baru and Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah formed Umno Malaysia (which later had to be changed to Semangat 46). Basically, both Mahathir and Razaleigh wanted to lay claim to being the new Umno or replacement Umno.
Mahathir, however, managed to grab the billions of Umno assets and investments. Hence Mahathir won and Razaleigh lost because at the end of the day it is all about the money. Basically, whoever gets his hands on Umno’s billions wins, so Mahathir won.
Umno is still worth billions but after the 1988 ‘experience’ Mahathir and Tun Daim Zainuddin made sure that the billions were no longer in the name of the party but parked under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies — which means even if Umno Baru is, yet again, deregistered, like in 1988, the billions would be safe.
In 1988, Mahathir and Daim parked Umno’s billions under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies so that whatever happens to Umno the billions would be safe
So, the death of Umno in 2018 is not as critical as the death of Umno 30 years ago in 1988. In 1988, when Umno died, its billions got jammed up or frozen for more than three years and Umno Baru was broke. Today, Umno will die alone because its billions are safely parked under trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies.
There is only one problem though. Will those trustees, proxies, nominees and cronies hand back or serah balek Umno’s billions which they are holding? If given a choice probably not, but what the government is doing to Najib Tun Razak, Rosmah Mansor, Zahid Hamidi, and many more people to come over the next few weeks, very few would dare defy Mahathir and not hand back Umno’s cash, assets and investments they are holding.
Keep Umno’s wealth and go to jail for money-laundering or hand it over and stay out of jail. That is the message Mahathir is sending by going after Najib, Rosmah and Zahid plus many more people in the weeks to come.
Today is the last day for Umno. As of today, about 150 of Umno’s 191 divisions are considered illegal. So technically Umno is an illegal party and tomorrow the Registrar of Societies can deregister Umno like they did 30 years ago in 1988.
Today, Umno’s fate has been sealed and PPBM is now the Umno Lebih Baru
For all intents and purposes, after today, Umno no longer legally exists. So, if the Malays still want a Malay party, then they need to join the only Malay party still in existence, which is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia or PPBM.
And that is why PPBM is only for the Malays. If PPBM became like PKR and accepts non-Malays into the party, then the ex-Umno members would not join PPBM.
Mahathir is a political genius and he knows what he is doing. He will make sure PPBM becomes Umno Lebih Baru and that the three million Umno members plus 35 or so Umno MPs join PPBM. Then PPBM will end up as the largest political party in Malaysia, and all Malay on top of that.
All PPBM will need is the support of PAS and one faction of PKR plus the parties from Sabah and Sarawak to stay in power. So even if DAP and Anwar Ibrahim try to pull off a coup it will fail because they will not have the numbers.
Yes, there can only be one tiger on the mountain. Mahathir cannot share the mountain with Umno and Anwar. Umno needs to die and Anwar needs to be castrated. Sabah and Sarawak will always join the winner so they will swing to PPBM. The Malays will unite under PPBM and DAP will crawl into the corner and shut their mouth. That is what Wawasan 2020 is all about.
