IS TUN RUNNING SCARED WASTING AWAY AT ANWAR FORMER SUNGAI BULOH SUITE ?

WASTING AWAY

Is Tun Maha-tahi running scared? Is he shitting in his pants? I don’t think so knowing this cunning and shrewd old man. He is just toying with the rakyat and expects some sympathy votes for BN.
Tun has just need to respond to Barry Wains’s accusation of the billion dollar losses and sue the shit out of this Aussie to prove that he’s innocent. Why is he not doing that? That speaks volume of his innocence or guilt?Mamthir thinks he is funny with is shallow wit. If only he can have a word with Mubarak, he will know it is not funny. When the can of Mamathir’s worms are opened, it will stink to high heavens. A jury of teenaged children will find it difficult not to convict you!If he is found not breaching any laws of the country he should then not be unduly worried. I am sure if an independent judiciary exists (if so) in Malaysia, all will be very much happy to accept the verdict of any case.
As it is now, justice is not seen to be fair.

Read between his lines for what the Tun had to say. Playing up the typical psyche game to elicit for sympathty votes for his son as a backdoor entry to regaining power in Putrajaya.
This reverse strategy would not work for him.Unless the voters are all so gullible to extend him some comfort, getting to rally and support him again and thereby causing the irreversible downfall of this Nation.
He destroyed the dreams of many and build up empires for his selected few.

spend six nights in jail on fabricated charges. So what is the big deal? Maybe u should spend some nights there to see how i felt.Well, that’s what you did to quite a few people, AI included. I dont like to see you JAILED, but i would very much like to see you HANGED
We do not have to fabricate charges as you have done. You may think that you have been very careful and smart to ensure you have covered your tracks well. You may even be able to justify your evil actions and get away from being convicted. But, you cannot get away from your Maker and from the court of public opinion. To me, the worst you had done was to take away the freedom of over 100 mainly opposition politicians to further your cause. That was downright evil. The day of reckoning will surely come! you should appeal to all rakyat, in particular all those who will vote PR in. Unfortunately, me, my spouse, kids, siblings, friends, and those I know who will vote PR, are eager to see you in jail. In fact, we all want a snake to be in a cage, not behind bars.There are many ways not leave traces of a murder( use C4) or a robbery.( money in a foreign bank by using proxy) We know and the public knows. Evidence can disappear overnight and files missing. Immigration records can be deleted. Public Prosecutors can purposely screw up a case. And some people can get amnesia suddenly. Looks like me, smells like me, sounds like me but it is not me?
But, we the Rakyat want you convicted for real crimes and jailed in a dungeon below ground level, so we can piss on you every time we visit !He will get fair trials. After all he is always saying our judiciary is fair and independent, so there’s nothing to worry about. Like Lim Guan Eng was jailed very fairly. How sad his children didn’t get scholarships, daddy can only afford to go horse riding in Argentina. Bailouts ok? Dr Tun Mahathir you are forgiven
Please return to India with your wealth and transform your ancestor’s home town . With the many years of experience building up Malaysia as you claimed you had done, once again you will be appreciated and regain back your honour in India .

Heard of “Reversal Psychology”?!

Only government that governs and administer good governance policies that breed(‘accentuates’) good laws will not tolerate nonsense, nonsense that mock the rule of law, if the the harsh law that is agreed and enacted says shoot, hang or life-imprisons a crime of theft of nation’s wealth where one living and lifestyle as a government servant and minister cannot possibly afford even though hidden away, at the least, there should be no cover up nor immunity and all the craps about accolades of unTOUnCHABLE should not be a hindrance nor protect any tyrant of alleged crime of corruption of any degree of present and past leaders, serves all the rule of law of justice be meted out accordingly even the law sentence is minimum to a degree that even if it is enacted that says “one will be banished from having the rights of enjoying a full benefits of monetary from retirement, there is no need to put him in jail like what his appeal the punishment of tyrants of other country had faced.

Taking away one’s all benefits except a monthly wage of two thousand Ringgit is good for his entitlement to living life as a normal government servant is good moral conduct punishment for one that is rightfully found guilty as charged!

The moral compass has failed miserably in the government for good governance and justice.

As Bruce Lee famously likes to quote,
“Knowing is not enough, you must apply; willing is not enough, you must do.”
I just want to tell you that there are so many people I met wants you to die quickly and, rot and burn in the fiercest hell fire. They are even so very eager to pee on your grave right after your funeral. They are so mean. But for me, I wish that you have long life so that my family and I are able to see you being put on trial and subsequently thrown into jail for all the pain and agony you have done on us. I suggest before the karma comes to a full cycle on you, please return all the money you and your sons have stolen from us. Tell the AG office, PDRM, MACC and the other UMNO-regime apparatus that you have intimidated over the years to stop sucking your dick as it is now flaccid and is of no use to them anymore.

Toon Kutty, again please, go see the doctor before the next GE and make sure you are in good health and that the doctor give you the adequate medication. You need a strong heart to face the lawyers, judges and even the public in and out of the courtroom. We also do not want you to be wheeled in bed in-and-out of the courtroom like what is happening to Hosni Mubarak now. Pity him! How he wish he is deader than a dead duck.

Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng opened the forum, at which the speakers were Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim and Dr Rosli Yaakop, a former Bank Negara official, by highlighting the Freedom of Information bill the Penang legislature passed last year.

Its passage displays to advantage the merits of the DAP-led Pakatan Rakyat government of Penang with its emphasis on openness and transparency, derided as a sham by its BN critics but lauded by admirers as exemplary governance for both state and nation.

Presumably, a comparable bill, had it been promulgated by the Federal government, would not have left unexposed for so long one of the more damaging scandals to beset the country which occurred nearly two decades ago.

This was the Bank Negara foreign currency trading scam in which a mind-boggling sum was conjectured (its precise amount, until yesterday, was a figment of public speculation than of authoritative disclosure) to have been lost and was, at the time of its initial revelation, officially dismissed, in what must now be viewed as a staggering euphemism, as “paper losses.”

“They were real, not paper losses,” said Anwar, who revealed that he first came to know of Bank Negara’s speculative forays on the forex markets from a friend in Zurich in 1991 and, later, from the editor of the now defunct Far Eastern Economic Review.  

At that time the losses were incurred, as the first gleanings of the disaster reverberated across the political arena, these were disclosed as amounting to RM10.16 billion until 1992, and as RM5.76 billion, in 1992 alone.

Rosli Yaacop, in his presentation yesterday, held that losses suffered were closer to a stupefying RM30 billion. What Rosli, a deputy manager in Bank Negara at the time the scandal ran its course (between the late 1980s to the early 1990s) and what Anwar, the Finance Minister on whose watch it came to light, revealed to the 400-plus people at yesterday’s forum reinforced the truth of Acton’s insight on the futility of camouflaging what democracies, including Malaysia’s makeshift version, would inevitably engender over time: the outing of the truth about tawdry goings-on.

The Bank Negara foreign currency trading scandal was, in yesterday’s sketches by Rosli and Anwar, conceived in secrecy and conducted by subterfuge between the then central bank’s Governor, Jaffar Hussein, and its foreign currency arbitrageur and rougue trader, Nor Mohamed Yaacop, with the knowledge, if not connivance, of then Finance Minister, Daim Zainuddin, and Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed.

Anwar, who replaced Daim as Finance Minister in early 1991, did not know about the machinations of Nor Mohamed who apparently enjoyed a free hand; Governor Jaffar was not obliged, on account of the central bank’s statutory independence of the Treasury, to brief the Finance Minister.

After Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the US Federal Reserve, raised the alarm in 1991 that Malaysia’s exposure on forex trading was alarmingly high — drawing a typically combative rebuke from Prime Minister Mahathir — the qualms about Bank Negara’s speculative forays, viewed as reckless gambling by finance moguls in the know, burgeoned to the point where Anwar demanded in 1994 that Jaffar come clean on the matter.

By then, when the stupendous losses suffered had escalated beyond the point where the huge profits garnered in earlier years had become a tantalizing mirage that paved the way to disaster, Anwar raised the matter with Mahathir.

Mahathir allowed that the forays had brought huge gains in the initial stages but that subsequent losses had made the exercise no longer sustainable. He publicly maintained that the losses were only on paper to a public to which DAP’s Lim Kit Siang strenuously raised the alarm that a numerically feeble opposition could not sustain above nuisance-level.  This scenario has now changed with the Opposition’s beefed up numbers and pretensions to take over Putrajaya.

The half-buried financial and corruption scandals of past decades in Malaysia, scams that would have brought down most democratic governments, are now on course for disinterment by a fortified opposition and a newly sensitized public.

But Anwar’s take on the whole gamut is that the public has a right to know but that the imperative of understanding must overcome the impulse for vengeance.He said the country must have its own version of South Africa’s truth and reconciliation commission whose purpose was to expose the enormities of the apartheid era with a view to sedating the torments of that oppressive period.

In that Anwar said he was moved by what Nelson Mandela told him when the father of that nation invited him, wife Azizah and children to Johannesburg to be his guests shortly after Anwar’s release from jail, after serving six years on corruption and sodomy convictions, in 2004.

Mandela was apologetic for not doing enough to free Anwar. He had seen Mahathir personally to plead in Anwar’s cause. But Mahathir was reportedly silent and unmoved. “I told Mandela ‘Never mind, yours was a 27 years march to freedom, mine was a short six year walk’ ” recalled Anwar.

In other words, life is too short to be small but scandals must see the light of an Actonian reckoning.

The population of aging and elderly prisoners in U.S. prisons exploded over the past three decades, with nearly 125,000 inmates aged 55 or older now behind bars, according to a report published Wednesday by the American Civil Liberties Union. This represents an increase of over 1,300 percent since the early 1980s.

More than $16 billion is spent annually by states and the federal government to incarcerate elderly prisoners, despite ample evidence that most prisoners over age 50 pose little or no threat to public safety, the report said. Due largely to higher health care costs, prisoners aged 50 and older cost around $68,000 a year to incarcerate, compared to $34,000 per year for the average prisoner.

Unless dramatic changes are made to sentencing and parole policies, the number of older prisoners could soar as high as 400,000 by 2030, posing a tremendous threat to state and federal budgets, said Inimai Chettiar, a co-author of the report.

“If we continue spending on prisons the way that we are, particularly on this aging population that’s low risk, we’re going to get to a place where states can’t afford to spend on anything else,” Chettiar said.

And while elderly inmates released from prison will require medical care and other public services, a fiscal analysis by the ACLU found that states would save an average of more than $66,000 per year for each elderly prisoner they release.

“Simply put, it is an unwise use of taxpayer dollars to spend enormous amounts of money locking up elderly prisoners who no longer need to be behind bars,” said William Bunting, an ACLU economist and co-author of the report.

The population of elderly prisoners is not booming due to a geriatric crime wave. In fact, statistics show there are fewer old people committing crimes than before, Chettiar said.

Rather, the report found that the graying of the nation’s prisons is largely the result of harsh sentencing laws enacted during the 1980s and 1990s, creating a vast pool of prisoners serving extraordinarily long sentences, often for non-violent crimes or drug offenses. Many states created statutes that triggered long sentences — including life in prison — for repeat offenders, even for those convicted of a series of relatively minor crimes.

Harsh anti-drug statutes and ‘truth-in-sentencing’ laws — which dictate that inmates serve the majority of their sentences before being paroled — also led to a sharp increase in the number of inmates growing old in prison.

As prisons increasingly resemble nursing homes, some states are considering more cost-effective alternatives. In 2011, the Louisiana legislature passed a law making it easier for inmates over the age of 60 to obtain parole hearings. The law only applies to non-violent offenders. Louisiana’s prisons suffer from some of the worst overcrowding in the nation.

Marjorie Esman, executive director of the ACLU of Louisiana, applauded the move. “Louisiana should not be using taxpayer dollars to lock up elderly individuals when they pose no danger to our communities,” Esman said in a statement at the time.

Statistics show that the likelihood of a prisoner committing a new crime post-release drops sharply in old age. However, many older inmates do end up back behind bars for parole violations.

In Malaysia there is no responsible journalism practice by the traditional news media MSMs. It will be a mockery to expect websites to follow. And also in Malaysia, our courts are not independent, the government will always win if they sued for defamation…if it is a death threat then by all means, that’s the right … Read more
