UNDER PM, OUR NATION IS LOST

This posting was written in response to PM’s comments on Halliburton’s investment in the Iskandar Region “Dr. M : No to Merchants of Deaths in IDR”.

“Halliburton is the only company mentioned by Osama bin Laden in an April 2004 tape in which he claims that "this is a war [in Iraq] that is benefiting major companies with billions of dollars." Internet pundit John Burnett has described Halliburton's deals as recalling a Vietnam-Era controversy. He claims Vice President Cheney's ties to the company are reminiscent of President Lyndon B. Johnson's relationships with Brown & Root” Compliments from Wikipedia.

Our country seems so desperate for foreign investments that anything under the sky will do to the 1st Family. The 1 st Family and the 4th Floor boys take pride in the opening up of corridors here and there; there’s where they can take a good cut out/ profiteer from such corridors. Birds of a feather flock together; can you not see the familiarities between the 1st Family and the promoters of Halliburton in profiteering with people’s blood in their hands. I would welcome into our country any company who would be able to make the weapons to blow Bush and Dick Cheney into oblivion. I understand the other entire world leaders in Bush’s “Coalition of the Willing” have all been kicked out of power even the great spinner, Blair and the sheriff of Asia, Howard. I would definitely not welcome any investor so closely knitted to Dick Cheney, one of the greatest hawks in US history. Iskandar Malaysia CEO Datuk Ikmal Hijaz Hashim defended and expressed his happiness at the willingness of Halliburton to invest in Johor; well I guess he only takes direction from the boys at 4th Floor.. The country’s many pro reforms targeting at more democratic freedom such as the judiciary is in support to attract foreign investments besides being beautification exercises to gain populist support in extending PM’s stay in power.

What the hell……..the Dewan Rakyat dismissed the motion by Dato' Seri Abdul Hadi Awang to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the tragedy of Nakba? What has come of our PM, has he forgotten the aspirations and sentiments of Malaysians on the sufferings of the Palestinian people? Does PM any sense of the words “Islamic Brotherhood” or “Unity of the Ummah”? What a shame!

But when you come to think about it, all these foolish actions are unfortunately expected under a weak leadership where the 1st Family particularly the SIL and son thrives in influencing, meddling and interfering in the strategic issues of the nation for their personal interest. Thus under PM, our country is all but lost lest he falls into the same fate as those leaders of the defunct “Coalition of the Willing” by this December the latest. .
