'Democracy is dead' : 'Fanatical' missing airliner pilot pictured wearing political slogan T-shirt

An image has emerged of the pilot of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet wearing a T-shirt with a 'Democracy is Dead' slogan as it has been revealed he could have hijacked the plane in an anti-government protest.

Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, a father-of-three, was said to be a 'fanatical' supporter of the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim - jailed for homosexuality just hours before the jet disappeared.

It has also been revealed that the pilot's wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing.

It comes as FBI investigators say the disappearance of MH370 may have been ‘an act of piracy’ and the possibility that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location has not been ruled out.

Officials also revealed that it is possible the aircraft could have landed and transmitted a satellite signal from the ground. If the plane was intact and had enough electrical power in reserve, it would be able to send out a radar 'ping'.

Captian Shah was an ‘obsessive’ supporter of Ibrahim. And hours before the doomed flight left Kuala Lumpur it is understood 53-year-old Shah attended a controversial trial in which Ibrahim was jailed for five years.

Campaigners say the politician, the key challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear campaign and had faced trumped-up charges.

Police sources have confirmed that Shah was a vocal political activist – and fear that the court decision left him profoundly upset. It was against this background that, seven hours later, he took control of a Boeing 777-200 bound for Beijing and carrying 238 passengers and crew.

Yesterday, Malaysian police searched his house in the upmarket Kuala Lumpur suburb of Shah Alam, where he had installed a home-made flight simulator. But this newspaper can reveal that investigators had already spent much of last week examining two laptops removed from Shah’s home. One is believed to contain data from the simulator

Confirming rising fears, Malaysia’s prime minister Najib Razak announced yesterday that MH370 was deliberately steered off course after its communication system was switched off. He said it headed west over the Malaysian seaboard and could have flown for another seven hours on its fuel reserves.

It is not yet clear where the plane was taken, however Mr Razak said the most recent satellite data suggests the plane could have been making for one of two possible flight corridors. The search, involving 43 ships and 58 aircraft from 15 countries, switched from the South China Sea to the Bay of Bengal in the Indian Ocean. 

In another dramatic twist early Sunday Indian officials however, said the search was on hold until 'fresh search areas' were defined by Malaysia. It is unclear what the reason was for the delay. 

Data showing the number of plausible runways where the plane could have touched down - which need to be at least 5,000ft - offer a baffling number of potential locations.

According to a map drawn up by U.S. radio station WNYC, there are 634 locations which could fit, from Australia to the Maldives to Pakistan.

However, the true number is likely to be even higher, as estimates of how far the plane could have travelled have been increased since the calculations were carried out.

US investigators say faint ‘pings’ were being transmitted for several hours after the flight lost contact with the ground.  

Meanwhile, military radar showed the jet climbed to 45,000ft – above its service limit – which could have been a deliberate attempt to knock out the passengers and crew.

Anwar Ibrahim is a broadly popular democracy icon and former deputy prime minister whose prosecution on a charge of sodomy is seen by many Malaysians as political persecution.

The raids on Captain Shah’s home appeared stage-managed as a display of intent after the Prime Minister said the focus of the investigation was now on ‘crew and passengers’ as a result of the latest leads. 

But investigators have told the Mail on Sunday inquiries into the background of the pilot actually began days earlier.

Malaysian police, helped by FBI agents from the US, are looking into the political and religious backgrounds of both Zaharie and his co-pilot. Zaharie’s home was sealed off yesterday as police spent an hour inside.

However, a senior investigation source said two laptops were taken from the property in low-key visits by police early last week despite a series of denials by officials that his home had been searched or raided. 

One laptop taken away is thought to contain data from the flight simulator while a second contained little information. Zaharie’s personal laptop was not found, and is thought to have been with him in the cockpit of the plane, the source said.

Zaharie’s co-workers have told investigators the veteran pilot was a social activist who was vocal and fervent in his support of Ibrahim.

‘Colleagues made it clear to us that he was someone who held strong political beliefs and was strident in his support for Anwar Ibrahim,’ another investigation source said. ‘We were told by one colleague he was obsessed with politics.’

In their interviews, colleagues said Zaharie told them he planned to attend the court case involving Anwar on March 7, just hours before the Beijing flight, but investigators had not yet been able to confirm if he was among the crowd of Anwar supporters at court.

Zaharie is believed to be separated or divorced from his wife although they share the same house, close to Kuala Lumpur’s international airport. They have three children, but no family members were at home yesterday: only the maid has remained there.

JAILED FOR FIVE YEARS: MALAYSIA'S OPPOSITION LEADER

Anwar Ibrahim is a broadly popular democracy icon and former deputy prime minister whose prosecution on a charge of sodomy is seen by many Malaysians as political persecution.

Campaigners say the politician, the key challenger to Malaysia’s ruling party, was the victim of a long-running smear campaign and had faced trumped-up charges.

Captain Shah, who is thought to have attended the trial in Putrajaya hours before flying, is thought to be incensed by the verdict.

Co-workers have told investigators the veteran pilot was a social activist who was vocal and fervent in his support of Ibrahim.

Investigators said: ‘We are looking into the theory that Zaharie’s political beliefs may be a factor. There are huge sensitivities surrounding this but we cannot afford not to pursue any angle brought to our attention.’

In the days after Flight MH370 disappeared, Zaharie was affectionately described as a good neighbour and an eccentric ‘geek’ who had a flight simulator at home simply because he loved his work so much.

Malaysian officials initially appeared keen not to direct any suspicion towards Zaharie or his co-pilot, 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid, who was last week revealed to have invited two women passengers into the cockpit and smoked on an earlier flight to Phuket.

But evidence of the way the plane’s transponder and communication systems were disabled and the way the plane was expertly flown over the Indian Ocean apparently using navigational waypoints meant only a skilled aviator could have been at the controls. Investigators were also baffled by why, if hijackers took over the plane, there was no Mayday call or signal from the two pilots to say the cockpit had been breached.

At yesterday’s press conference, the suspicion over the pilot’s involvement mounted as prime minister Najib Razak said that investigators had found ‘deliberate action’ on board the plane resulted in it changing course and losing contact with ground crews. 

As a result of the new information, Malaysian authorities had ‘refocused their investigation on crew and passengers aboard’, he said. Police sealed off the area surrounding Zaharie’s home and searched the house shortly after the press conference.

Mr Razak said the new satellite evidence shows ‘with a high degree of certainty’ that the one of the jet’s communications devices – the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System  was disabled just before it had reached the east coast of Malaysia. ACARS is a service that allows computers aboard the plane to relay in-flight information about the health of its systems back to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, near the cross-over point between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers, the plane’s transponder, which emits an identifying signal, was switched off or, less likely, failed.

According to a military radar, the aircraft then turned and flew back over Malaysia before heading in a north-west direction.

Sudahlah Tu Anwar

Dalam keadaan Malaysia menghadapi cabaran global 3F (fuel, financial & food) cabaran dalaman berlaku dengan amat mencabar apabila Anwar Ibrahim berusaha menumbangkan kerajaan Barisan Nasional yang mendapat kemenangan majoriti oleh rakyat. Sejak bebas dari hukuman penjara Anwar lebih gemar memburukkan musuh - musuh politiknya dan memburukkan institusi Malaysia di mata media asing. Polis, ISA, DEB, kehakiman adalaah antara perkara yang dikritiknya sebegitu buruk tanpa menyedari dia tidak pernah menyatakan masalah ini ketika menjadi orang kuat kerajaan. Terbaru hospital juga dituduh tidak telus apabila dia diminta menyerahkan sampel DNAnya sebagai bahan siasatan kes liwat keatas Saiful.

Indeks BSKL berada dibawah 1000 mata ketika berita ini ditulis

Dalam keadaan politik yang bercempera wakil industri & pelabur asing menghantar laporan kepada HQ & negara asal mereka yang keadaan Malaysia tidak begitu sesuai untuk menambah paburan mereka sekarang. Tunggulah sehingga akhir tahun ini kalau keadaan dah stabil. Oleh kerana gila talak nak jadi PM Anwar tak hiraukan apa kaedah & kesannya. Hatta menawarkan rasuah terhadap ahli parlimen BN. Anwar gagal meyakinkan ahli-ahli parlimen untuk melompat ke Pakatan Rakyat dalam igauan 16 Sept nya. Dalam sidang parlimen 13 okt 08 yang akan datang Anwar akan membuat tindakan luar kotak nya; undi tak percaya kepada PM. Jika Anwar berjaya, saya ingin berkongsi fikiran Datuk Kadir Jasin antaranya

• Anwar memimpin kerajaan yang lemah kerana tidak mampu mendapat 2/3 majority.


• dia perlu buat pilihanraya lebih awal kerana dia sentiasa dihantui spekulasi dia hanya meng-hijack kerajaan BN


• MP yang melompat akan bersifat dummy - akhirnya akan berfikir untuk menyertai BN semula. Dummy disini bukan ertinya bodoh tetapi dalam syarat Karnough Map ertiya boleh bersifat 2 keadaan (PR @ BN).

Anwar juga akan menghadapi tentangan agresif dari penyokong BN kerana tindakannya yang tidak bermoral. Apa pun kita bertenang, berdoa & bersabar menanti berita gembira

Anwar Plays A Waiting Game In Malaysia
By Anil Netto
PENANG - Malaysia's political opposition insists its plan to topple Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi's government is still on track, as doubts emerge about the credibility of those claims after it missed two self-set deadlines for ushering in political change. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim had set September 16, Malaysia's national day, as the deadline for his People's Alliance coalition to take over the federal government through parliamentary defections to his camp. When that deadline passed, with Anwar claiming he had the required number of parliamentary defections secured, he set a new September 23 deadline for Abdullah to call an emergency sitting of parliament to hold a no-confidence motion he claimed would bring down the government. Abdullah has ridiculed those calls and refused Anwar's request to meet so that the latter can show him a purported list of parliamentarians who have committed to leave the coalition government and join forces with the opposition. Anwar has repeatedly told the press that his alliance has the minimum 31 defections he needs to secure a simple majority in parliament, though he has declined to reveal the names of the turncoat parliamentarians. The only snag, from his perspective, is that Abdullah will delay reconvening the legislature to debate a no-confidence motion on his rule. The political uncertainty is starting to take a toll on the economy and investor confidence. Foreign direct investment flows had already turned negative for 2007 for the first time in the country's 50-year history, according to the 2008 United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report, released this week. Inflation hit a 27-year high of 8.5% in August, adding fuel to the population's discontent with the United Malays Nasional Organization (UMNO)-led government. Abdullah has repeatedly accused Anwar of causing instability and undermining the economy. Anwar has countered that the economic problems stem from Abdullah's failure to introduce meaningful economic reforms. Anwar now needs to tread a delicate constitutional line if he wants to avoid giving an already jittery ruling coalition a pretext for striking back through a more forceful crackdown. This month, an opposition politician, a journalist and an anti-government blogger were all detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA), which allows for indefinite detention without trial. The opposition leader is now believed to have two political options: seek an audience with the Agong, Malaysia's paramount constitutional monarch, or wait for parliament to reconvene as scheduled from its recess on October 13. Finding that his path to power is strewn with obstacles, Anwar has not committed to any new deadlines for a change in government. The state-influenced mainstream media have ridiculed the passing of his previous deadlines and some feel those missed marks have damaged his credibility. Others more sympathetic to the opposition charge point out that it will not be easy to dislodge the UMNO-led coalition, which has held power for 51 years, during which time it has blurred the lines between party and government. Anwar's proponents say that September 16 heralded the beginning of a political transition that eventually will lead to UMNO's demise. Intra-party turmoilTwo crucial dates now loom: October 9, when regional divisions of UMNO begin to nominate candidates for top party posts that will be up for grabs during the party's December internal elections, and October 13, when parliament is scheduled to reconvene. Under siege within his own party after the ruling coalition suffered a major setback at March general elections and now held responsible for a listless economy, Abdullah finds himself in an increasingly tight political spot. He recently hammered out a transition plan to hand over power to his deputy, Najib Abdul Razak, by 2010. He has since indicated he could leave earlier, and in an apparent move to appease his deputy he swapped portfolios with him, handing finance to Najib while Abdullah took over defense. Whether the ambitious Najib, who has been dogged by allegations linking him to the murder of a Mongolian woman, which he has denied, will be content with the minor reshuffle is still unclear. Despite the transition plan, there appears to be a groundswell of sentiment within UMNO that would prefer Abdullah to leave much sooner than he would prefer. The party has called an emergency supreme council meeting for Friday, sparking fresh speculation that change could be in the offing. This sentiment is also coming from some of the reactionary forces within UMNO, which are believed to be inspired by former premier and party leader Mahathir Mohamad. Mahathir formally quit the party in May, but he is now said to be contemplating a return. He was reported to be backing former finance minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah's bid for the UMNO presidency, which will be decided in December. Mahathir's son, Mukhriz Mahathir, is also reported to be eyeing the leadership of UMNO's powerful youth wing. He will likely run up against Abdullah's ambitious son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, and former Selangor state chief minister Mohamad Khir Toyo for that post. The political transition could speed up if Abdullah fails to secure enough nominations for the UMNO presidency from the party's various divisions, whose elections are due to run from October to November. To receive the nomination, he needs to secure the nod from at least 30%, or 58 divisions, of UMNO's 191 party divisions across the country. With his mounting political troubles, not everyone is convinced he can pull it off. Meanwhile, in the midst of the political uncertainty, the arrests and detention without trial of a senior Selangor state government official from the People's Alliance, a Chinese newspaper journalist, the editor of a popular Internet news portal and a blogger have sent a chill down the spines of many Malaysians. Three of them have been released, but Malaysia Today website editor Raja Petra Kamarudin was sent this week to the Kamunting detention camp, where he will serve two years under the renewable order of Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar. The government's use of the ISA against perceived political opponents has sparked outrage among many Malaysians and rare protests among ruling coalition politicians, one of whom quit his position as law minister over the arrests. Raja Petra, whose website commands a huge following, is seen as something of a folk hero in Malaysia for his frequent exposes of official corruption and abuse of power. Some of his readers believe he was detained to give UMNO leaders a break from his widely read criticisms in the run-up to their party polls - though the official reason given was that his articles insulted Islam and were a threat to national security. Malaysians have signed online petitions, mailed greeting cards to detainees, participated in candlelight vigils in public places and flocked to prayer services in several places of worship. The arrests have arguably swung public opinion further against the ruling coalition and Abdullah's fast-waning moral authority. Whether Anwar's alliance can capitalize on that sentiment and establish a new reformist government could be determined by UMNO's and Abdullah's next moves.

Retorik Israel Terbaru Israel

Perdana Menteri Israel yang bakal meletak jawatan atas dakwaan merasuah, Ehud Olmert menegaskankan perlunya Rejim berundur dari Tanah Palestin dalam usaha mencapai perdamaian dengan Palestin. Sebelum ini Olmert berulang kali dengan angkuhnya meneruskan perluasan kuasa rejim tanpa menghirau langsung isu Pelan Damai. Canselor Jerman, Angela Merkel pernah mengunjungi Tel Aviv & menggesa rejim berundur sebagai usaha ampuh kearah perdamaian. Dalam sidang media yang sama Olmert menegaskan usaha rejim adalah semata-mata kerana negara Israel & rakyatnya. Jelas dilihat polemik terbaru Olmert ini menyerupai mana-mana Presiden Amerika dalam membincangkan masalah Israel -Palestin; memulakan usaha apabila legasi pemerintahan mereka berakhir. Di era Bush, Rundingan Annapolis diadakan diakhir tahun Bush memerintah. Lama sebelum ini, Yitzak Rabin menandatangani Perjanjian Oslo yang menyatakan rejim akan menyerahkan kembali Tanah Palestin yang diduduki. Akhirnya Rabin mati ditembak.

Olmert Advocates Israeli Pullouts Olmert stepped down on September 21 amid corruption allegations [AFP]
Ehud Olmert, Israel's outgoing prime minister, has said that Israel will have to leave much of east Jerusalem and allow Palestinians to form a state equal in size to the area of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.In an interview with the Yediot Ahronot newspaper, published on Monday, Olmert also said that peace with Syria would require withdrawal from the Golan Heights.
"[I am saying] what no previous Israeli leader has ever said: we should withdraw from almost all of the territories, including in East Jerusalem and in the Golan Heights," he was quoted as saying.Olmert resigned on September 21 amid corruption allegations and will officially step down once a new government has been formed.
Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, agreed at a meeting in the United States last November to push for a comprehensive peace deal before the end of the year.Yediot Ahronot noted that the remarks in its "legacy interview" go further than any the prime minister made before he effectively became a lame duck in September."I am not trying to justify retroactively what I did for 35 years. For a large portion of these years, I was unwilling to look at reality in all its depth," Olmert said."A decision has to be made. This decision is difficult, terrible, a decision that contradicts our natural instincts, our innermost desires, our collective memories, the prayers of the Jewish people for 2,000 years."Stalled talksPeace talks between the two sides have stalled over the borders of a future Palestinian state, the future status of Jerusalem and the right to return of Palestinian refugees.The construction of new Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Arab East Jerusalem, which Palestinians see as the capital of a future state, have also proved to be a major obstacle.
"I'd like see if there is one serious person in the State of Israel who believes it is possible to make peace with the Syrians without eventually giving up the Golan Heights"
Ehud Olmert, Israeli prime ministerAccording to Western and Palestinian officials, Olmert has previously proposed an Israeli withdrawal from some 93 per cent of the occupied West Bank. Israel pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 2005.
In exchange for settlement enclaves, Olmert has suggested handing over a desert territory adjacent to the Gaza Strip, as well as land on which to build a transit corridor between Gaza and the West Bank."We will leave a percentage of these territories in our hands, but will have to give the Palestinians a similar percentage, because without that there will be no peace," Olmert said in Tuesday's interview.Olmert has previously argued that the issue of Jerusalem be considered at a later date because the difficulties in reaching an agreement.But on Tuesday he said that giving up parts of the city was critical to securing Israel's security."Whoever wants to hold on to all of the city's territory will have to bring 270,000 Arabs inside the fences of sovereign Israel. It won't work," he said.Concrete offerSaeb Erakat, a senior adviser to Abbas, said Israel must "translate these statements into reality" if it is serious about wanting to achieve a peace deal. "We haven't seen these statements translated into a piece of paper, into a concrete offer," he told the AFP news agency, stressing that "the road to peace is through ending the occupation and [Israeli] settlements in the West Bank".During his time in office, Olmert reopened indirect negotiations, through Turkey, with Syria after an eight-year freeze.
"I'd like see if there is one serious person in the State of Israel who believes it is possible to make peace with the Syrians without eventually giving up the Golan Heights," he said in the interview.Israel annexed the territory in 1981, a move never recognised by the world community. More than 18,000 Syrians, mostly Druze, are left from the Golan's original population of 150,000 people. The region now is home to nearly 20,000 Jewish settlers.

Six powers agree on Iran resolution

Six powers agree on Iran resolution

Rice said the agreement aimed to show unity not against Iran, but for Russia [AFP]
Six world powers have agreed on a draft resolution on Iran's nuclear programme, which did not include new sanctions, in line with Russia's insistence, senior US and European officials have said.
David Miliband, the British Foreign Secretary, told reporters that the six powers had agreed to submit the draft text to the 15-nation UN Security Council for discussions on Friday.
A vote could come on Saturday.
According to a text seen by Reuters news agency, the 10-line draft resolution would call on Iran to "fully comply, without delay" with previous council resolutions, which demand that it halt enriching uranium.
It also urges Iran to meet the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) board of governors.
Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, said the resolution aimed, not to impose new sanctions against Tehran, but rather to show unity after disagreements with Russia over its invasion of Georgia.
"It's also especially important that the Iranians recognise that the P5 plus one process is intact," Rice told Reuters in an interview, referring to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - the UK, China, France, Russia and the United States - plus Germany.
The P5 plus one powers are seeking to persuade Iran to halt its suspected pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
The United States and Europeans had wanted a fourth round of sanctions on Iran, which refuses to halt nuclear enrichment work.
China and Russia oppose further sanctions.
Miliband said the text "reaffirms existing resolutions that are on the UN books."
Although the draft resolution has no new penalties, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German foreign minister, told reporters that the text "does not rule them out either".
Integral player
The meeting on Iran was originally scheduled for Thursday, but it was postponed after Russia withdrew to protest US criticism of its invasion of Georgia.
Rice told the Security Council she wanted to take up threats made by Ahmadinejad [AFP]Russian diplomats said Moscow was letting the West know it could not be sidelined on issues like Iran where it is a key player.
Separately, Rice told the Security Council that she wants it to take up threats against Israel made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president.
Rice said his comments that the Jewish state "should be wiped from the face of the map, should be destroyed and should not exist" were unacceptable.
Tehran insists its nuclear programme aims to produce electricity and refuses to halt its enrichment programme. In a defiant speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, Ahmadinejad vowed to resist US "bullying".
Miliband said the UN nuclear watchdog had failed to get sufficient co-operation from Tehran in its investigation of allegations that Iran conducted research on an atomic weapon.
In June, the six powers gave Iran a beefed-up offer of political and economic incentives, including nuclear reactors, in exchange for a suspension of its enrichment programme.
Tehran says enrichment is a sovereign right it will never renounce.
Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said on Friday it was not the time to consider any new sanctions on Iran.

We "continue to believe that it is not timely to consider at the ministerial or at any other level this proposal of new sanctions," Lavrov told a news conference at the United Nations.

Let's talk about World War IIIBy Nikolai Sokov It is time to seriously contemplate World War III. The most important elements are already in place. Just as so many experts on the Caucasus have predicted, the region has become a power keg and the main source of great-power rivalry. Obviously, disagreements between great powers go far beyond this region and, in fact, conflicts and war in the Caucasus are rather insignificant in their grand games and calculations. Yet the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and Russia all have important symbolic stakes there - there are promises to local players and fears that abandoning them might hurt reputation and global standing. Paradoxically, the chances of a major, global armed conflict have increased since the probability of a large-scale nuclear war has declined to zero, in all practical terms. No one fears that the world will be annihilated, and thus the world is now deemed reasonably safe for a conventional war. Let us try to imagine how World War III might start. World War I started with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz-Ferdinand by Serbs in Sarajevo. The act was senseless - Franz Ferdinand was widely believed to be the more sensible and moderate member of the Austrian imperial family. Russia - the ally and patron of Serbia at the time - certainly did not authorize it, although there are rumors that some Russian diplomats and intelligence officers knew about the plans. Yet Russia felt compelled to intervene on the side of Serbia when Austria - predictably - responded with all its military might: just a few years earlier Russia had abandoned Serbia to the mercy of Vienna, and doing this a second time was deemed untenable. This is, in a nutshell, how World War I unfolded. Let us move to the South Caucasus now. There is talk in Washington and Brussels that, following what is classified as Russian aggression, Georgia will soon receive a Membership Action Plan (MAP) for joining NATO. The prospects of membership are quite uncertain, however, because some members of NATO (aptly classified by Donald Rumsfeld as "Old Europe") are not enthusiastic. Yet in the United States the idea about "defending Georgia" is very popular, thanks to a large extent to the preidential election campaign in which candidates have been able to use the war in Georgia to their advantage. In fact, Georgia does not have to become a member of NATO - a long process fraught with many impediments. It is much easier to simply deploy two or three battalions of US troops in Georgian territory to convert it into a new version of West Germany during the Cold War. Fifty years ago US troops in West Germany served as hostages: American deaths as a result of a Soviet attack would have inevitably drawn the United States into a shooting war with the Soviets. This was one of the more brilliant schemes. We do not know whether it actually worked because we do not know whether the Soviet Union actually planned to attack, but the logic seems sound. The advantage of unilateral American guarantees of this sort is that the decision can be made quickly, it will score major political points, and avoid the inevitable squabbles of alliance politics. Now, the truly wild card in the game of defending Georgia is whether the Georgian leadership - in the near future this means Mikheil Saakashvili - will be prepared to play as part of a team. One irrefutable fact about what the Russians now call the "five-day war" is that for years the United States very clearly and forcefully warned Georgia to avoid direct conflict with Russia. Yet, Saakashvili and his team went to war, and when they realized they were losing they asked Washington to interfere militarily. This truly casts doubts about whether the same people will care about the US's interests when they obtain "automatic" security guarantees. Now imagine the repetition of exactly the same scenario a year from now. With troops in Georgia, the US government will not be able to stay away or back down. Whatever actually provokes hostilities, the US's pro-Georgian and anti-Russian version will prevail. This means America will be at war. The Russians cannot back down either, and their pretext will be the exact opposite of Tbilisi's and Washington's. They will be at war as well. Obviously, Russian troops can overwhelm the Georgian military, but they do not stand a chance against the United States. Active military doctrine has an answer to that - limited Russian use of nuclear weapons against the military bases from which Americans mount attacks and against command and control centers. We are talking about an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean and perhaps a few US bases in Europe. Welcome to World War III - mostly conventional and spiced with a few nuclear mushrooms here and there. The truly fascinating aspect of this gloomy scenario is that the two leading emerging economic and political powers of the world, China and India, are completely outside the game. For them, there are no interests and no stakes, whether real or imaginary, in a US-Russian war over the South Caucasus. This is cause for hope. If we can safely live through the transition period as economic and eventually political power shifts from traditional capitals toward Asia, we might avoid a direct clash between major powers and nuclear weapons use. The way economic trends run these days, we only need to be lucky for a few years.

Temuramah Tun Dr Mahathir dengan Aljazeera (2006)

Temuramah Tun Dr Mahathir dengan Aljazeera (2006)

Part 1

S: ---
J: awak tengok di Barat apa dah jadi. Mereka mendakwa Islam mengajar penganutnya menjadi pengganas. Ini tak benar. Juga tak benar dia kata ni ialah perbuatan penganut Islam fundamental (asas). Inilah perbezaan umat Islam yang dibezakan dari ajaran Islam. Di Malaysia awak tak boleh kata Malaysia moderate Islam (Islam sederhana). Kami bukan moderate. Kami hanya mengamalkan ajaran Islam yang asas.
S: boleh juga disebut moderate...
J: bukan. Bukan moderate. Cuma kami berbalik kepada ajaran Islam yang asal.
S: awak terangkan mengapa bukan moderate
J: jika awak kembali kepada ajaran Islam sebenar awak akan jadi bertimbang rasa, terpelajar, progresif itu yang diajar oleh Islam. Tapi orang ni dah membuat Islam dipandang extrimis. Mereka tak mengamalkan ajaran Islam sebenar & akan menampilka n salahfaham terhadap Islam.
S: berkaitan isu semasa Arab didakwa menjadi pengganas dengan menjadi pengebom berani mati
J: saya tak setuju kata mereka pengganas. Memang mereka Arab; & keadaan yang terdesak, mereka takde tank, jet fighter, & kelengkapan perang jadi apa yang boleh mereka buat? Mereka balut badan mereka dengan bom & letupkan diri mereka.
S: mereka akan dilabel pengganas kerana menjadi pengebom berani mati...
J: membunuh orang tak bersalah, kanak-kanak, mengebom negara lain inilah pengganas. Kerana orang yang menanti dibom dalam ketekutan menunggu apa yang akan jadi pada mereka. US ialah pengganas sebenar.

Part 2

S: bagaimana awak lihat perkembangan kuasa nuclear seluruh dunia?
J: kita dalam ketakutan.takut pada kuasa nuklear. Jika kuasa nuklear boleh mengancam kita dari menyerang kita mengapa kita tak berhak mengancam mereka dari menyerang kita. Siapa yg menyerang siapa sekarang ini? Adakah negara Islam merayau & menawan mana2 negara? Mereka hanya mempertahankan diri mereka
S: tetapi Iran nmpknya tertekan mengancam negara lain ...
J: Iran berhak mengancam pihak lain dari menyerang Iran. Iran telah diserang sebelum ini oleh Iraq dibawah percaturan US. Selama 8 tahun mereka kehilangan 1juta rakyat. Jika US kehilangan 1juta rakyat awak tahu apa akan dbuat? Dia akan bom seluruh dunia.
S: Presiden Ahmenijad dipetik berkata Israel akan menjadi sasaran jika ia terlibat menyerang Iran. Adakah apa2 salah faham?
J: ia boleh dijadikan sasaran jika Israel menyerang Iran. Kenapa tidak. Jika Iran diserang kenapa Israel tidak boleh dijadikan diserang oleh sesiapa? Siapa yang mengganasi siapa di Palestin? Bukan rakyat Palestin. Israel. Mereka melakukan pembunuhan beramai2. Penempatan mereka dibulldoze begitu sahaja. Siapa pengganas?
S: adakah awak berfikir ia (US) terdesak untuk berbuat demikian?
J: well, ia memang begitu. Tapi saya fikir dia telah melakukan kesilapan besar kerana mereka fikir mereka blh bertindak seperti seperti mereka buat pada Iraq. Dia dah cukup bagus untuk berfikir jika dia ada nuclear, dia boleh buat apa dia suka.
S: nampaknya awak cenderung mengkritik barat. Apakah awak tak takut kesannya?
J: I don't care.saya buat apa yg saya fikirkan betul, mereka nak nasihatkan saya mereka boleh nasihatkan. 1 perkara saya xbenarkan anggota saya membuat hubungan sulit dengan mereka, saya tak izinkan gambar saya ditampal ditempat awam, malangnya begitu cepat mereka lupakan saya.
S: adakah awak tak menyesal rakyat awak tak mendengar cakap awak?
J: No. Tak engapa. People are very fittle. Mereka suka menghentam apa saja. Awak boleh dipuji oleh seorang dan awak boleh dihentam oleh seorang yang lain. So what? Awak tak boleh kemana.

Part 3

S:ada yang menyatakan legasi awak bertukar dalam beberapa hal…
J: legasi saya, jika ada seorang boleh merosakkan Negara saya, saya ada hak untuk mengkritik
S: Rosak apa yang awak maksudkan?
J : itu... Banyak benda yang dilakukan boleh merosakkan negara. Nanti akan makan masa lagi 1jam dari apa yang kita ada hari ini.
S: salah satu kritikan ialah pemerintahan awak yang menyebabkan masalah perkauman sangat buruk. Adakah awak terima kritikan ini?
J: saya tak terima. Awak pergi tanya cina & India adakah mereka membenci saya kerana agama mereka ?
S : Anwar Ibrahim kata masalah perkauman timbul salah satunya disebabkan sekolah wawasan...
J: no. Ini perkara biasa kepada setiap negara supaya mempunyai sistem pendidikan kebangsaan. Tetapi malaysia sudah cukup baik membenarkan sekolah yang bukan melayu / islam. Awak lihat dinegara lain,mana nagara yg memberi bantuan kepada sekolah pendatang?
S: 1 lagi kritikan berkaitan ini ialah tindakan kerajaan yang tidak membantu perpaduan kaum
J: saya tak tahu sekarang tapi sepanjang masa saya, saya kritik kanan kiri dan tengah. Awak jangan baca binocular press. Mereka takda benda baik nak dilapor keatas saya semasa saya menjadi Perdana Menteri.
S: Anwar kata yang pendapatnya tak disiar sebagai kebebasan media & intelek...
J: ini demokrasi. Kami adalah majoriti & bila tiba pilihanraya rakyat masih memilih kami bermakna mereka menyokong tindakan kami. Melainkan awak kata minoriti mesti dapat kelebihan berbanding majoriti.
S: mengenai DEB pula, ia nampaknya melebarkan jurang antara kaum…
J: no. Ia bukan membezakan kaum, ia cuba menyamaratakan status semua bangsa.
S: maknya DEB adalah diskriminasi positif…
J: yes it did
S: Tapi tidak adil dalam pembahgian ekuiti...
J: no. Ada pihak yg berhak kerana mereka mempunyai sebab kukuh. Kita merasakan jika kita DEB situasi hari ini akan lebih teruk & akan berlaku pergaduhan antara kaum.
S: tapi...
J: take away apa yg kita capai dalam DEB, biarkan orang melayu begitu miskin awak akan lihat apa yg berlaku.
S: tapi...
J: take it away. Biarkan orang melayu begitu miskin sebagai petani & penanam padi, mereka akan lihat bandar bukan milik mereka & mereka akan hanguskan semua sekali. Mereka telah buat sebegini pada 1969.
S: sekarang awak kerap mengkritik kerajaan sedia ada rasuah, kepimpinan lemah, salah guna kuasa dan lain2…
J: yes of course
S: apakah awak tak buat semua itu semasa awak Perdana Menteri?
J: Buktikan saya terlibat dengan rasuah. Tapi sekarang cukup bukti kukuh keluarga Perdana Menteri sangat kaya. Anaknya sudah sangat kaya sehingga dia tak perlu apa2 bantuan, menantunya ada 'tangan' dalam pentadbiran walaupun dia tiada jawatan dalam kerajaan, kakak iparnya ada perniagaan yang dia tak pernah miliki sebelum ini, dan banyak kontrak dikeluarkan dengan cara tidak telus.
S: bukankah itu juga dilakukan awak semasa awak perdana menteri..?
J: you can charged me but prove it.!
S: mengapa awak lantang mengkritik pengganti awak sedangkan awak melantiknya by hand?
J: well, saya kecewa. Saya tak pernah fikir akan jadi macam ni. Kerana orang ini difikirkan sebagai Mr. Clean ... You know sepanjang masa saya, saya tak benarkan ahli keluarga saya terlibat dalam politik. Mereka mencadangkan (Mukhriz) bertanding dalam pilihanraya saya kata tidak!.tetapi sekarang saya lihat pengganti saya membiarkan ahli keluarganya terlibat dalam setiap aspek pentadbiran.
S: bagaimana pula tuduhan awak membuat pendakwaan politik keatas Anwar Ibrahim dan layanan buruk terhadap beliau.
J: saya buat apa yang saya perlu buat. Jika seseorang buat salah walaupun kedudukannya tinggi dalam kerajaan ia akan terima akibatnya. Dia dipertahankan 9 peguam, perbicaraan berjalan 9 bulan, seluruh datang melihat perbicaraan & dia dibicarakan dalam mahkamah terbuka.
S: pendakwaaan nampaknya tunggang terbalik sehingga orang tak percaya…
J: ya mereka takkan setuju dengan apa yang saya kata sehingga mereka kata saya bohong sama sekali. Saya tahu apa yang saya buat, buat jelas mengikut peraturan.
S: ok Tun. Saya harap Tun tak kecil hati dengan temubual saya
J: tiada sama sekali
S: ok 1 soalan akhir. Adakah awak fikir baki 2 tahun pentadbiran Bush akan bertambah baik?
J: well, lelaki ini dah mengejutkan semua orang bukan sahaja PBB. Sekarang sebagai Ketua Komanden dia kata dia boleh hantar 20,000 tentera samada Kongress setuju @ tak. Inilah jenis manusia yang dipilih melalui kerajaan demokratik;dia melakukan sesuatu samada demokrasi tak setuju & tak se;atutnya berlaku. 1 hari nanti awak boleh undi seorang lelaki gila yang akan tekan suis start & melancarkan perang nuklear

Tun Mahathir tqvm

Welcome

Analisis

1. Part 1 & 2 menggambarkan sikap, pandangan & pemikiran Dr M dalam isu antarabangsa. Sikap ini bukan saja dilahirkan selepas beliau pencen, bahkan sejak memegang jawatan lagi beliau memang bersikap tegas terhadap ketidakadilan kuasa besar.
2. Isu islamophobia. Dr M juga bersikap tegas terhadap pemimpin dunia yang menindas negara Islam. Mengenai Islamophobia, beliau menjelaskan salah faham melalui surat & perbincangan ketika persidangan antarabangsa. Antaranya surat beliau kepada Putera Charles, Bush & Blair. Terutama sekali ketika peristiwa 9/11, Bush & Blair menyalahkan umat Islam 'this was done by fundamental Muslim' (ini dilakukan oleh penganut Islam asas) Dr M menegaskan kepada mereka hal sebenarnya dan keadaan umat Islam yang tersepit di Palestin, Iraq, negara Afrika dll berpunca dari tangan mereka sendiri.
3. Isu palestin, anti Halliburton & anti semitik. Dr M memang sekian lama bersimpati dengan nasib Palestin. Justeru beliau menyarankan kepada Bush, Blair, Chirac & pemimpin dunia supaya tentera PBB ditempatkan di Palestin dan pengunduran yahudi dari Tanah Palestin berperingkat seperti yang dipersetujui Yitzak Rabin & Yasser Arafat. Tetapi beliau bukanlah seorang anti semitik kerana anti semitik rasisme bertentangan dengan Islam. Beliau masih meneruskan hubungan tidak rasmi dengan yahudi dalam bidang sukan, ekonomi dll. Ucapan beliau ketika persidangan APEC (di Shanghai) &mempengerusikan persidangan OIC 2003 (di K Lumpur) 'today the jews rules this world by proxy' memberi harapan kepada dunia Islam Malaysialah yang akan memperjuangkan suara dunia Islam & negara ketiga.
4. Part 2 berkisar tentang kritikan sepanjang pemerintahan beliau. Dr M diburukkan depan Arab, Cina, Singapore, Amerika, Israel dll
5. Sek wawasan. Sekolah wawasan ialah keseinambungan Penyata Razak & konsesi kontrak sosial sebelum merdeka lagi. Sekolah wawasan menghendaki 1 sistem pendidikan menggunakan bahasa kebangsaan. Justeru bantuan kepada Sekolah Agama Rakyat, Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil @ Cina akan dihentikan berperingkat. Dr M hanya melaksanakan perjanjian pemimpin terdadulu, bukan bertindak mengikut kehendak nafsunya.
6. DEB. Ramai yang sinis apabila isu DEB dibangkitkan semula. Ini kerana DEB dilabel sebagai saham, kuota yang diagih kepada aristokrat UMNO sahaja. Lebih dari itu DEB meliputi kuota penjawat awam, jawatan2 JUSA (Naib Canselor, Gabenor Bank Negara, ) agensi2 MARA, dll. Walaupun DEB telah disalahguna tak dinafikan 'diskriminasi' ini dah melahirkan ramai kumpulan moderate & professional Melayu.
7. Hal anak2 Dr M. Ramai yang beranggapan anak2 Dr M mendapat kontrak kerajaan yang banyak & mereka imuniti dalam perniagaan mereka. Paling jelas pengambilalihan MISC (asalnya milik Mirzan) oleh Petronas ketika kegawatan ekonomi 97. Tapi ramai yang tak ambil perhatian dalam masa yang sama Mokhzani sasau kerana perniagaannya muflis, Mokhzan terpaksa menjual semua sahamnya dalam Tongkah Medivest (Tongkah Medivest pemegang saham major Pantai Holding) & lain2 masalah adik beradik mereka. Mengapa Dr M tak selamatkan semuanya sekali? Mukhriz tak dibenar terlibat dalam politik walaupun nak menjawat Penolong Bendahari Pemuda
8. Hal keluarga Pak Lah. Perniagaan kakak ipar, Asiah Mahmood yang dimaksudkan ialah mengambil bahagian dalam Program Oil for Food. Asiah mengambil kupon atas syarikat Mastek manakala suaminya Tradeyear. Modal berbayar Tradeyear hanya RM 2 manakala rusniaganya mencecah 6 angka. Program Oil for Food menjadi skandal antarabangsa & disiasat pelbagai agensi dunia. Nama Abdullah Ahmad Badawi terpalit dalam skandal ini. Walaupun Wisma Putra berjanji menyiasat tetapi sehingga hari ini tiada laporan rasmi dibuat. Lain2 faham sendiri la kot
   
   pembaca boleh menilai sendiri samada isu yang berlegar disekeliling kita. Kebenaran ada dimana2.

Rejuvanate UMNO

Rejuvanate United Malay National Organasation

Che Det da tak kuasa lagi nak jadi Presiden UMNO / PM. 'saya cukuplah 22 tahun. Patut dok rumah baca Quran. Tapi kalau PM lepas ni nak minta nasihat saya, saya sedia kerja siang malam'. Tun masih menggagahkan diri untuk menyelamatkan UMNO/BN & Malaysia amnya. Perkembangan terbaru Tun bakal masuk semula UMNO memberi nafas baru kepada rebellion UMNO yang menikus. Dalam menanti perkembangan selanjutnya saya gambarkan calon-calon jawatan dalam pertandingan akan datang:-

• Presiden - Ku Li (ikhtiar la kuat lagi. Inilah sumbangan terakhir anda)
• Timbalan - TS Muhyidin (Don't Muhyidin = jual tanah terlalu banyak pada Singapore, berangan nak ikut bos lama; Anwar Ibrahim, terlalu berlembut untuk rundingan FTA dgn US @ batalkan terus), Najib (kalau nak jadi PM cepat buat keputusan tinggalkan Paklah. Katakan saja Lah, UMNO da tak perlukan dr)
• Naib - Dr Rais Yatim (mesti lebih berani & menonjolkan kepimpinan), DS Ali Rustam (kalau ada harapan) Dr Khir Toyo (lupakan niat nk jd K Pemuda. Berikan pd Mukhriz. Otak awak diperlukan dperingkat lebih tinggi), DS Hisyamudin (boleh dipertimbangkan. Kalau nak menang kena cari team kuat. Kalau nak tanggung risiko kalah masuk team KJ)
• K Pemuda - D Mukhriz (usahalah sedaya upaya & tunjukkan bakat kepimpinan anda)
• MT - Dr Puad Zarkashi (oleh kerana 1st time nak pegang jawatan tinggi mula dari bawah. PhD holder UKM ni boleh memberi manuever pd UMNO.
