Clueless Should Build Housing, Schools, Power, Water & Infrastructure For Malaysia First

January 31st, 2025 by financetwitter

• gave away public funds RM100 million to Arabs 
• no one knows who actually got the money 
• as banks have been destroyed in Gaza 
• globe throttling using taxpayers’ money to lobby Arabs 
• bumped to last row during photo session with OIC leaders

OSTB : There is no functioning banking system in Gaza. All the electricity supply and the entire telecommunications system is operated by the Israelis. The Israelis do not allow any electronic funds transfer into Gaza. So how does anyone send money into Gaza. This is a big mystery. If you cannot send money into Gaza then where is all that money going?

If the money is used to buy construction materials outside Gaza and then ship it on trucks into Gaza then who are the suppliers and logistics contractors? And where will the construction materials be delivered? Because there is still a war going on.

• The ceasefire is for 42 days only. 
• We dont know if the ceasefire will be extended. 
• In Lebanon Hezbollah has decided NOT TO RENEW the ceasefire. 
• So how can you send money or materials to Gaza 'after the Hari Raya' when the war has not even been concluded?
  

Where is all that money really going?

• Muslim Brotherhood link with Hamas. 
• met Hamas leaders in Qatar, but no Gulf states support terror group
• bragged about Ismail Haniyeh, but Haniyeh soon assassinated
• glorified Hamas, but Yahya Sinwar horribly killed
• transported dozens of Palestinians here but humiliated when they rioted

• gloated on Instagram about phone call with Hamas but removed by Zuckerberg
• Mohamed bin Salman said he “doesn’t care” about Palestinians
• everything that touches on Palestinians turns to dust

• clueless because Arab world despises Hamas 
• U.S. provides protection to Saudi Arabia and its allies

• bet the wrong horse 
• yet another idiotic plan – building school, hospital, mosque 
• reduced to rubble and dust thanks to Hamas

• Rafidah Aziz says prioritise domestic issues first
• Sabah still facing power and water shortages 
• poor road conditions which restrict access to education
• not to mention lack of affordable housing

• 18-year-old Veveonah Mosibin, slept on tree to get signal for online exams
• RM80b needed for basic infrastructure in Sarawak
• including roads, clean water, electricity, clinics, hospitals, schools, science labs
• 1,300 rural Sarawak settlements without road access as at end 2024

• take care of own backyard first
• repair 6 hospitals, 208 health clinics, 67 staff quarters, 2 pharmacy in S'wak alone
• 460 schools in deplorable state, need urgent rehabilitation
• 86,000 households still without clean water supply in S'wak
• 70,000 families struggling with hardcore poverty in Sabah 
• why should M'sia spend millions rebuilding foreign land 8,000 km away? 

OSTB : Why should M'sia spend taxpayers money, public funds, the rakyat's money, dana awam on people 8,000 km away WHO ARE NOT TAXPAYERS? THEY DO NOT PAY TAXES TO THE GOMEN.

• So where is your compassion for Malaysians?
• see own people suffer in poverty in favour of Gazans 
• why prioritizes foreigners instead of own people

• where to get money to rebuild Gaza? 
• If gomen has so much money why cut  subsidies?
  
• fuel, egg, chicken, education, rice, cooking oil subsidies cut
• why increases service tax, water bill, electricity tariff, assessment rate

• stop hallucinating about  Gaza  
• Hamas can never govern Gaza
• so how to rebuild Gaza

• Donald Trump plan for Gaza – move Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan 
• Trump said – “You’re talking about 1.5 million people
• just clean out that whole thing
• Saudi and UAE silent on Trump plan 
• after defeat of Hezbollah and Hamas 
  

• idea to rebuild Gaza reckless, dumb, glaring lack of geopolitical knowledge 
• half-baked plan, silly intention of being first to beat the crowd
• look like a fool instead
• ceasefire is just temporary
• should explain what happened to RM100m given to Arabs

My Comments :

Developing a country needs money. Malaysia does not have enough money. Our gomen hospitals do not have all the medicines for outpatients. Doctors tell the outpatients to go and buy some of the medicines from the private pharmacy. 

The 'sampai kiamat tak selesai' problems that persist is not true. The problems can be selesai if the gomen has enough money. We do not have enough money.

Sabah and Sarawak do not have enough roads, schools, hospitals, housing etc. Many Tamil schools are in very bad shape. One Tamil guy made a video about a Tamil school conducting classes from inside a container. We dont have enough money.

About two years back a not very intelligent Minister said there are three million gig economy workers in the country. He was proud because he felt that it was a growing industry - the gig economy. He did not understand that the gig economy means there are no permanent jobs. No fixed monthly income. That is why it is called a gig economy. No EPF, no SOCSO, no new job skills, no value added. No future.

• The country is not in very good shape. 
• We dont have enough money.
• So where is the money coming from to help the Arabs?
• Where did that RM100 million that was announced earlier come from?
• And how much more money will be spent to rebuild Gaza?
• This is taxpayers money. Public funds. Dana awam.
• Besides Qatar, no Arab country is going to spend any money to rebuild Gaza. 
• No other Islamic country is going to spend any money to rebuild Gaza.
• Pakistan will not help rebuild Gaza.
• Not even Saudi Arabia which is so rich.
  

• Where is the money coming from to help rebuild Gaza?
• The Muslim Brotherhood is in charge in Gaza.
• They will certainly reap huge benefits from the rebuilding of Gaza.
  

• p.s. If reducing Najib's prison sentence is compassion then what about ALL the other prisoners in ALL the Malaysian jails? 
• Why not reduce the jail sentences by half for all other prisoners in the jails? 
• Where is your compassion towards all the prisoners in Sungei Buloh Prison, Kajang Prison, Taiping prison, Terengganu prison, Penang prison, Melaka prison etc. 
• Why is your compassion only limited to Najib? '
• Satu untuk kau, dua untuk aku'  lagi ke?

BANGLADESH COUNTER COUP COOKING - MOHD YUNUS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER AND INTERIM UNELECTED DICTATOR PLANNING ESCAPE TO SWEDEN?

 

 

 

The news is about a day old but it looks like things are evolving in Bangladesh. India's Republic TV has gone to town with a scoop that there is a counter coup in Bangladesh.

This is not impossible to happen. The new Sheriff in Washington Donald Trump has completely cut off all American aid around the world (except for Israel and Egypt). This includes Bangladesh.

For an absolute certainty Mohamed Yunus the interim 'unelected' dictator of Bangladesh is a lackey of the American Democratic Party.  No Democratic Party, no Mohamed Yunus and no coup in Bangladesh. Here is Obama putting a collar on Mohamed Yunus. It says 'If found please contact owner.'

Now with the democrats gone and the Trump administration being hostile to ALL Islamic 'jihadi' regimes all over the world, the Muslim Brotherhood inspired coup in Bangladesh is certainly out of step with the Trump administration. 

Newly appointed US Secretary of State Marc Rubio, a Cuban by ethnicity, is particularly hostile to Islamic regimes. (Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's nominee for Director of National Intelligence who is a Hindu, has made critical remarks aimed specifically at the Bangladeshi persecution of minority Hindus). So the dictatorial 'regime' in Bangladesh is certainly not in the good books of the new United States administration. Hence the counter coup.

When the coup happened in Bangladesh the Muslim Brotherhood released the following statement:

It begins with : "The Muslim Brotherhood's continuous monitoring of developments in Bangladesh". What the hell for? The Brotherhood is Egyptian, banned as a terrorist organisation in Egypt and a dozen other countries. Why would they want to monitor Bangladesh? 

The Bangladeshi opposition is saying that Jewish billionaire George Soros is behind the situation in Bangladesh.  

 

Here are pictures of Alexander Soros, 39 years old who is the son of George Soros meeting with Mohamed Yunus, the unelected dictator of Bangladesh.

Now Alex Soros, 39 years old is married to this woman Huma Abedin, 48 years old. 

Huma Abedin was a long time assistant, aide, adviser, Chief of Staff etc to Hillary Clinton since 1996, from the time Hillary was First Lady, to when she was a Senator, to when Hillary became Secretary of State under Obama and when Hillary ran for president against Donald Trump. Here is a picture of Huma and Hillary.

 

Huma Abedin's parents (Pakistani and Indian) and her family members are members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Her family's connections to the Muslim Brotherhood have attracted the scrutiny of US Congressman before.

It was under Obama and Hillary as Secretary of State that the Muslim Brotherhood backed Arab Spring began in the Middle East. The Muslim Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi became president of Egypt for less than two years - before he was kicked out by the Army.

As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's biggest disaster was Libya where again the Muslim Brotherhood played (and still plays) an outsized role in destroying Libya (until today).

The Muslim Brotherhood is now involved with the situation in Bangladesh. As they themselves have said, they are at "continuous monitoring of developments in Bangladesh".

Here is Republic TV's report. The video does not upload. Please click on the link. You can scroll to minute 3.00 until minute 18:50.

My Conclusion:

It is really quite astounding to see how a belief in magical flying horses can get their knickers all twisted.

US Imposes 25% Tariffs On Canada/Mexico, 10% On China

Well Detroit will become alive again.

US President Donald Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on China. On the whole this is not a very good move for the American consumer. Prices will go up which means inflation. The greater risk is the competitiveness of the American economy will take a hit. Over the longer term this will not be good for US competitiveness. More American jobs will be lost than new ones created. Tariff protection forces the consumer to subsidise inefficient domestic producers. The best example of this in the entire world is the highly inefficient Malaysian automobile industry. 

Here is Sean Foo with a good analysis of the situation. 

This makes the whole world weary of doing business with the United States. When they are not efficient they level the playing field by imposing high tariffs. America becomes an unpredictable trade partner. But what they are doing is to lock in their inefficiencies.

The move is designed to get American factories that moved to Canada and Mexico to take advantage of cheaper productions costs there to shift back their factories to the United States. They were already inefficient which is why they moved to lower cost Canada and Mexico in the first place. So that they could keep their high profit margins despite being less efficient. Now they are being made to move back to the less efficient United States again where they will have to suffer lower margins.

The Chinese are already exporting to the US because they are cheaper and also technologically advanced. If they open more factories inside the US (to avoid tariffs) they will still be able to compete with American factories. More Chinese products will be sold in America, there will be more employment for American workers but local American companies will lose market share. 

To put the apple cart upright again, American companies must become more competitive. In the 1980s American car companies lost market share to Japanese car makers who had set up car factories inside the United States.  That sparked off plenty of innovation in the American car industry with new technologies etc. But that was also when many US car companies moved to Canada and Mexico.

America is an advanced, technology based economy. The US car makers will have to quickly innovate. But certainly more jobs will be created in the US. Lets see what happens.

FRIDAY NOTES FROM THE QURAN (31/1/2025) - 'nor did We send to them before you any warner'.

NON-MUSLIMS CAN SKIP THIS. THANK YOU.

 

Here are four short verses which are self explanatory. They carry a heavy meaning.

1)  Surah 34:44  وَمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّن كُتُبٍۢ يَدْرُسُونَهَا ۖ وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَكَ مِن نَّذِيرٍۢ

"And We did not give them any scriptures which they could study, nor did We send to them before you any warner."

 

2)  Surah 32:2-3 

2. "The revelation of the Book, in which there is no doubt, is from the Lord of the worlds."

3. "Or do they say, 'He invented it'?" Nay, it is the truth from your Lord, that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you, that they may be guided."

   ( مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ  )
   

 

3)  Surah 36:6    لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًۭا مَّآ أُنذِرَ ءَابَآؤُهُمْ فَهُمْ غَـٰفِلُونَ  

That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.

4)  Surah 28:46    And you were not at the side of the mount when We called but as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded   (   لِتُنذِرَ قَوْمًۭا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ  )

THE WORLD HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA JUST HOW FAR AHEAD THE CHINESE ARE. CHINESE FREIGHT TRAIN SLAMS "DATA CENTERS".

Here are three really interesting, short videos. About one minute each.

In the past week the western stock markets have lost almost US$1.0 TRILLION (ONE TRILLION US DOLLARS) in market value. Among them was Nvidia which lost about US$600 Billion in its total market value.

All that because of a small Chinese company which has developed an AI 'language' called Deepseek for US$5.6 million, with just SIX engineers in the team  which is outperforming Chat GPT, Google and Microsoft who spent tens of billions of US Dollars to develop their AIs.

Observers are now calling this a Sputnik moment in history - referring to the time when the Russians placed the first man made object, a tiny satellite called Sputnik, into space orbit around planet earth. That happened in 1957.

What does China's Deepseek mean? Well all those planned Data Centers are suddenly facing extinction. Data Centers are those super huge factory type buildings which will house hundreds of millions of US Dollars worth of computers and storage devices (the hardware) to store data - GIGABYTES, TERABYTES, PETABYTES - which is (or was) considered the backbone for AI (Artificial Intelligence). 

From my understanding AI has been made possible by the development of super memory capacity and super fast computer chips - which companies like Invidia have been producing. These super chips allow the processing of tons of computer code (many magnitudes more than previous computer chips) which enables the chip to process even more computations per second.

With this type of new computing power the programmers can program robots to walk on their own, talk on their own, cars to drive by themselves, etc. All this is possible with the greatly expanded computing power of the new computer chips. 

And these super computer chips use up a ton of electricity (and also generate plenty of heat). Hence the advent of Data Centers. Data Centers need huge amounts of electricity to store and process the huge amounts of data which are needed to power AI. Some say that in the US they may need to increase their total electric power supply by 15% to meet the needs of all the Data Centers that are being planned.

There was also talk of "pelabur asing" planning to invest in Data Centers here in Malaysia to take advantage of our cheaper electricity tariffs (relative to US, Japan or Singapore).

Data Centers do not generate many jobs - 100 to 200 people can manage one multi billion Ringgit Data Center. But they use tons of electricity.

Well not anymore. The new Chinese Deepseek AI language uses 1/100 or 0.01 or 1% of the computer chips used by the American AI. This means their electricity consumption should also be 1/100 or just 1% of the American Data Centers.

Hence that recent announcement by President Donald Trump's friends that they will invest US$500 Billion in new Data Centers around the US has just gone up in smoke. It is not going to happen.

And the share price of Nvidia stock took a beating with Nvidia shares losing US$600 billion in market value. 

Folks, Tuan-Tuan this is the Chinese Freight Train that is rolling over the whole world. 

This year 2025 will be the year that major car manufacturers like BMW, Volkswagen, maybe Mercedes, other European and American manufacturers as well as Japanese car manufacturers CAN GO OUT OF BUSINESS. They are certainly already suffering major losses. 

The Chinese Freight Train has even demolished durian exports from Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia because China has now begun exporting their own durians (500,000 tons in 2024).

Why is this happening at such a rapid pace? The answer is because of something called the Chinese people. Here are the three short videos that you must watch.

The first video here shows Chinese policemen on patrol duty accompanied by a Star Wars type robot.  This is in a relatively small yet super modern Chinese city which you and I have never heard of before (Wenzhou?)

 

The next short video shows a Chinese factory mass producing humanoid robots. These are not toys or prototypes for show. These are real robots which will be bought by the Chinese people to be used in their homes, their factories, restaurants and businesses. Notice how "thin" they are. Because with super efficient AI (like Deepseek) the robot can be small, use less electricity, yet perform a greater range of tasks.

I call all this the Chinese "Democratisation of Technology".  Democratisation of Technology means making the highest and latest technologies available to the ordinary man in the street as soon as possible and as cheap as possible. The Chinese simply flood their market with high technology. This is what the Chinese have been doing. This is their philosophy.

The Chinese began their Democratisation of Technology more than 20 years ago with their electronic payments systems. Everywhere in China people do not carry cash. First they had swipe cards. Then they moved to the smart phones. The rest of the world has caught up - but later.

Then they latched onto robotics. Everywhere in China there are robots. Restaurants have robot waiters (for some time already), they have robot chefs. Supermarkets have robots. Hence it is just another step up the robot ladder which you can see in the two videos above.

As soon as they develop the latest cutting edge technology, they push it out to the general population down at the street level. So that the productivity of the general population in China will also be at the cutting edge. Grandmas and grandpas will understand robotics.

Here in Malaysia we still dont see many solar panels on people's rooftops. Because the philosophy here is NOT TO MAKE AVAILABLE the latest (solar) technology to the general population. Some years ago, during the kleptocratic regime, the import of solar panels was 'monopolised' by one or two companies only. They set up a monopoly situation. Solar panels were super expensive.

Then there were arm twisting regulations which really did not encourage the general Malaysian public from installing solar panels on our rooftops. (Obviously to protect the market share of the electricity monopoly in the country). Until today you can rarely see solar panels on our rooftops. Only a few, usually in the wealthier homes. Because it is still expensive.

The Chinese philosophy is different - when the prices of Chinese solar panels started to CRASH (yes the prices have CRASHED) they pushed out even more solar panels to the public so that the Chinese people can have access to cheaper "renewable" electricity.

Today the prices of Chinese solar panels have crashed so much that they can generate one unit or one kWh (one kilowatt hour) of electricity for 18 sen or even lower than that.

(In sharp contrast in Malaysia gas fired power generation costs (approximately) about  38 sen to 45 sen per kWh - according to a friend who is a financial consultant to the industry).

So you see, it is this difference in philosophy - the Democratisation of Technology - to immediately improve the lives and the standard of living of the Chinese people which has created the Chinese Freight Train.

When every man, woman, child, grandfather and grandmother in China is exposed to such an abundance of cutting edge and affordable technology, the entire Chinese society immediately becomes a very high technology society. High technology is so cheap and so abundant that it becomes 'child's play'.  The Chinese people will develop even higher technologies. Otherwise they will not be able to compete among themselves. 

The Chinese are not really competing with the world anymore. (Nvidia has crashed, Data Centers are possibly dead. BMW might shut down this year). The Chinese are competing among themselves. 

Have you been to Beijing? The city stretches over 105 miles north to south. Or over 170 km. That is the distance from Ipoh to Penang. But Beijing is NOT the largest city in China. 

The largest city in China (and in the world) is Chongqing. Greater Chongqing has a population of 32 million people and occupies an area of 82,339 square km, roughly the size of Austria in Europe.

Here is another less than one minute video.

 

This is what the Chinese are doing. They are so focussed.

In Malaysia there is one fool going around plucking his feathers over 'chicken ham sandwiches' and another fool wants to rebuild someone else's country.
