上课去了

726，午时1400，上课去了。

很久没有体验这种感觉了。

出席人数还算不错，只是年轻的不太多。

图示：(左起)柏斯、陈开、拿督沈、招炎、发财与赋强

柏斯的欢迎词，算是“处女作”吧，内容扎实，可惜麦克风太低了。

拿督沈内容具深度，得益不少。

发财的一个马来西亚，感觉不错。

赋强功力不错，三个论点，发挥到淋漓尽致。

陈开团长，幽默极了，还好不会失控。

主持人招炎，宝刀未老，全场控制顺畅。

问答环节，是课程的重点，印证了姜还是老的辣！

3小时课程，唯一收获，就是看到了未来的接班人。

可是，卧虎藏龙，多将多兵，磁场各异，火力不中，策略软弱。

外传天兵天将，无法牵动草根、无法主导局势。

惟有基层领袖，才有草根力量，才能凝聚各路英雄，一起为理念而战。

未来的领袖们，加油哦！

“康熙”来了

他们种上数百棵小树，因之前的大树一颗颗被砍下了。

他们不断在市区内穿梭，因要让外区支援部队了解市内交通情况。

他们宣布关闭市内数个主要干路，因要让贵宾能顺通无阻。

他们时常指人力不足如今调动上千警卫，因贵宾的安全超重要。

他们忙于粉刷，因要让贵宾留下美好印象。

他们显得异常“盲”碌，只因“康熙”要来了。

“康熙”来了，乐了官兵，因是宣传身份与提高身价的良机。

“康熙”来了，乐了承包商，因此刻的钱最容易赚。

“康熙”来了，苦了人民，因要取悦贵宾就得额外花费。

“康熙”来了，苦了市民，因要面对道路关闭与塞车情况。

“康熙”来了，苦了小树，因要被人摆来摆去。

“康熙”要亲民，就应摆脱高高在上的心态。

“康熙”要爱民，就应撤除这些无谓的围墙。

但是，实际情况往往就是“康熙”不急，“和申”急。

真是劳民伤财。

真是很废。

Tun, I disagree!

Honourable Tun M,

I extremely disagree with Tun's latest comment on your blog titled "Kaki Dalam Kasut".

In my personal opinion, your remarks were too racist, and would create unhealthy and tense atmosphere among the races.

Tun should not simply blamed the Chinese for what the Malay cannot achieve since Independence.

Tun should know better that the politicians who were keen on playing racial cards to gain political milages should be blamed for the unsuccessful stories of the particular races.

Tun also know that there are so many rich and well-doing Chinese who are contributing to the nation building.

Undoubtedly, Chinese are the main player in the economic sector, but they are also the main contributor to the national revenues through taxes.

Government uses the revenues generated from taxes to assist the needy groups, regardless of races.

I believe, please correct me if I am wrong, based on racial percentage the Malays have benefited the most.

But as a Malaysian Chinese, I never feel proud of the Chinese accomplishments in economic and education sectors because the Chinese are working extremely hard for it, without any privilege given.

Bear in mind that the Chinese are also sidelined and marginalised in other sectors.

Malaysian Chinese are generous to share with other races, provided there must be certain degree of fairness acceptable to both sides.

My suggestion to Tun is, just have a simple tour to the National schools and Chinese aided schools, and study closely on students' learning attitudes and culture.

Besides, talk to the teachers of the two schools, then Tun would know the differences between Malay and Chinese in nurturing their younger generation.

Tun, the Malays have all the opportunities and privileges that are protected under Constitution, and accepted by other races.

Reciprocally, the rights of other races should not be intentionally ignored by selfish quarters, especially the politicians.

My sincere advice is: Be ready to get burnt if playing around with fire!

Truly,

Ong

老蔡离开了

马华前副总会长兼前卫生部长拿督蔡锐明18日决定退出马华，加入民联，以实现其更宏观的政治理念。

他看到了马华的政治瓶颈，看到了多元化种族政治的迫切性，选择离开以单一种族的马华，离开了国阵这个复杂的大家庭。

他选择在逐渐成形的两线制中，放弃了国阵，选择了民联，毕竟要改进党龄只有1年多的民联总比50多年的国阵来的容易。

马华失去了一位大将，打击程度可想而之。

近来被许多内部事情困扰的民联，获得这位大将的加盟，肯定是打了只强心剂，也难得被官司缠身的安华能笑得如此的开心。

如今，令人联想到下一位将加盟的大将，会不会是与翁诗杰不咬弦的蔡细历。

看来，马华如今的处境不单单是“十面埋伏”，迎面而来的"赤壁之战“是难免的了。

Memorable night

Last night, I attended KWB's 50th anniversary grand dinner at Sarawak Chamber.

Well, it was really awesome and memorable.

The grand ballroom was so gorgeous with "moons and stars" lights decoration. The live band performances were inspiring and entertaining.

Really enjoyed the night, thanks KWB.

静土

不是不喜欢这片土地

只是有太多不得人意的故事

一幕幕地发生了

脑海中的遗憾

心灵上的失望

是何等的累赘

岁月悄悄地流逝

生命履历处处见痕

只因理想与事实是多么的不对称

如果允许

真的会离开

寻找静土度过余生

好让心灵去感受

慧能祖师的教诲

“本来无一物，何处惹尘埃。”

忙碌的幸福

实在非常不喜欢，

现在这个闲样子。

时间不断的流失，

生命变得无实感。

没有作战的处境，

失去高昂的激情。

没有生命的对象，

迷失在平凡中去。

一直寻找那感觉，

就是忙碌的幸福！

100 days in office

Dear Mr PM,

I saw your report card of 100 days in office published on Malaysia Insiders website this morning, and I really appreciate what you have done so far for a greater Malaysia.

But, your July 8 policy on abolishing of teaching and learning of Sciences and Maths in English (PPSMI) disappointed me.

There are too much politicking in our education system, and this is the main reason why our younger generation standard is at lower rank once compete with other developing countries.

Please reform our education system and public sector, these are my simple hope under your administration.

Frankly, Mr PM, I don't have much confidence on your 1Malaysia doctrine, but as long as your are not sleeping (as mentioned by Tun Mahathir), you will have my support.

Scenery at BT plantation

Trip to Bornion Timber rubber forest plantation

It was an amazing trip to Bornion Timber (BT) rubber forest plantation at Sook, Keningau, Sabah, last week.

It took about 3-4 hours drive from Kota Kinabalu to the plantation base camp at Sook.

On the way to Sook, I was attracted by the beautiful natural scenery of Crocker Range. However, once I reached BT base camp, I was amazed by the BT's forest management plans for an area of 109,000 ha, which is bigger than the size of Singapore!

sustainable forest management

one of the compartments is ready for rubber trees planting

one the nursery bases

a new life begins (after 2 weeks)

During the trip, I was exposed to the rubber plantation plans (about 30,000 ha.), planting techniques, forest reservation, the hard works, the challenges, the co-operation with China counterparts, and the visions of the project.

Definitely, this will become a super great project in the next 5 years.

Injection inflammation

Prince was admitted to TMC on July 3, due to injection inflammation.

Child specialists were suspecting the abnormal inflammation was caused by contaminated needle of JE immunisation injection taken at government clinic on June 30.

Prince was suffering high fever, itchiness and bad appetite.

Pic: Inflammation on upper arm, which was double the size of normal arm!

Luckily, after few medications and monitoring, Prince was recovered and discharged 3 days after.

This was another high-risk illness suffered by my two princes since the fit attack on Little Prince about four months ago.

Healthy is everything!

市场放宽的理念与落实

我国首相纳吉所宣布的资金市场放宽措施能塑造理想的投资环境，有助强化国家资金市场，让投资者对国家未来的资金市场有了更明确与更肯定的方向。

我国在80与90年代成功吸引大量外资前来设厂投资，促使国家经济稳健成长，并带动各个领域，国家走向进步、繁荣。

但是，在全球化的冲击下，加上许多发展中国家的迅速崛起，形成了许多外资市场的竞争对手，使我国经济发展步伐深受影响。

此外，国家的投资环境也不是很理想，一些新经济政策下所遗留下来的经济条例，尤其是有关土著股权的固打及一些政策执行上的复杂与不透明化等种种限制导致很难説服新的外资前来投资。

基于时代的需要，纳吉政府果断地做出了革命性的放宽，即上市公司无须拥有30巴仙的土著股权固打。此外，还废除外资委员会的限制条例、放宽资金管理、信托单位及证券行的外资股权等，大大清除了投资方面的不必要障碍，简单化资金市场的运作，塑造良好的投资环境吸引外资涌入。

这项放宽措施是纳吉政府自今年4月废除服务业27个领域项目之30巴仙土著股权限制，以及开放让外资在我国开设新的商业银行、回教银行与回教保险公司后的另一个刺激经济的重大政策。

这一系列的经济放宽政策有望刺激国家的经济发展，促使经济走出低糜。毕竟国家今年首季经济成长率达到萎缩6.2巴仙，因此经济领域必须在最快的时间内回弹，人民才有好日子过。

相信随着这个领域的放宽，将能让我国拥有较具竞争条件与新崛起的经济国，如新加坡、菲律宾、泰国、中国、印度等竞争。

当然，这系列的措施能否成功，很大的因素取决于政府施政与官员执行方面的能力，也是涉及到公共领域的功能与表现了。

众所周知，国内的公共领域所涉及的层面非常庞大，各部门的结构也非常复杂，加上官僚作风、繁文缛节等问题往往导致一个需要政府部门处理的简单的事项可演变成相当复杂。这对向来讲究简单与速度的投资领域相当不利。

此外，除了经济市场开放的优势外，投资者还会考虑到国内人力资源的条件，包括知识水平、工作能力与薪金酬劳等方面，因此，政府也得确保国内各领域拥有足够的专才，以应付投资领域的需求。

有鉴于此，除了经济领域，纳吉政府有必要认真探讨国内公共领域与教育体系的问题，甚至重整这两个大部门，重新设定新的方向，藉以提升领域的表现，才能确保国家有能力与他国竞争。

纳吉可以有很宏伟的治国理念，但他更必须确保拥有强大与有表现能力的公共领域才能使理念获得落实。
