When Tun Mahathir says....

Recently, Tun Mahathir has given his comments about the future of Malaysian Prime Minister. He was saying that non-malay can become the prime minister one day (not in the near future). As usual and as i expected the reaction from UMNO member or for those who really supports him, will comment, whatever he says, it is something to ponder. An overwhelming reaction. bla...bla..




What if, same thought is coming from opposition party (i.e: PAS or PKR or any malay dominated parties), what would be the reaction? I can guarantee whoever comes out with this statement will be labeled as Malay Traitor, ungrateful malay, Disrespectful Malay and many labels. . I remember back then, Chief Minister of Kelantan, Datok Nik Aziz nik mat who has come out with the same opinion but with the clause as long as he/she is muslim malay or non malay can become the prime minister. The reaction was the other way around.

Not that i disagree or agree with what Tun Mahathir said, nevertheless this is the way of malaysian politics.

It should be, it is not about "who said" but the important thing "what is said".

Obama win!



As expected, Obama won landslide victory for US presidential election. This is also the first time in the history of american president, who is Black. He won 60%-+ of the overall vote.

I am wondering, will there be any change in US foreign policy? in the past, when a new president was elected, there will be a change this and that. in the end, every american president are all the same. It has come to my sense, whoever becomes the US president doesn't matter. Most important is people around him. they the one whose been advising the president on what to do and what not to do. To become a leader, u just need a good people around you, ask them to do this and that, and you blend the information and then claim; that's your idea. this is what we call as "deliver through others"; the 9 planets leadership framework.

What kind of president will Obama be?
