Afraid of the Boss - New White House communications boss deletes tweets Trump would not love

DONALD Trump's new communications chief has deleted tweets in which he shared views contrary to the US president's own, saying they were a distraction.

The day after he started his new job yesterday, Anthony Scaramucci, a New York financier, cleared up his Twitter trail of remarks in which he differs from Trump on illegal immigration, climate change, Islam and even gun control.

"Full transparency: I'm deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn't be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that's all that matters," the new man on the White House job announced on Twitter.

A bit later, Scaramucci followed up with "The politics of 'gotcha' are over. I have thick skin and we're moving on to @POTUS agenda serving the American people."


In a 2012 comment he tweeted, he appeared to back many causes long championed by Democrats, describing himself as "for Gay Marriage, against the death penalty, and Pro Choice."

White House press secretary Sean Spicer abruptly resigned yesterday in protest at Scaramucci's hiring.

In a written statement, Trump said he was "grateful" for Spicer's work and praised his "great television ratings" – a reference to Spicer's keenly watched, combative and often-satirised news briefings.

Spicer's departure marked rising tensions in an administration that has seen its legislative agenda falter at the same time it has been buffeted by an investigation into alleged collusion with Russia. – AFP, July 23, 2017.

MRT would not have happened without me, says Dr Mahathir

Dr Mahathir Mohamad says Prime Minister Najib Razak wouldn't known what to do if he had not started public transport projects. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Hasnoor Hussain, July 23, 2017.

AS Prime Minister Najib Razak basks in the glow of the recently completed second phase of Mass Rapid Transit system, Dr Mahathir Mohamad moved to rain on the parade by claiming that the new public transport system was merely a continuation the projects under his administration.

Speaking at the CheDet club Aidilfitri Open House today, Dr Mahathir said Najib would not have completed the public transport projects if he had not started it.

"He was just continuing (the public transport projects) that I started. Without me starting it, he (Najib) wouldn't know what to do."

Dr Mahathir said Najib would be at his wits end in completing the LRT 1 & 2 Extension and MRT 1 projects if he had not started them.


When Dr Mahathir was prime minister, he initiated four public transport projects – the KL Monorail line, the Putra LRT line, the STAR LRT line and the Intrakota Bus Service – all of which were given to private companies via concessions and then eventually ran into financial or managerial difficulties.

The Bersatu chairman also said he was more than willing to accept any representatives of Najib for the "Nothing to Hide" forum that is hosted by Bersatu's youth wing.


"The prime minister is not letting anyone to come (to the debate), what is there to be scared off? I am an old man, are you scared of an old man? Any representative who comes to the forum is fine with me," he said.

Dr Mahathir also said he had learnt a lot from his past and shot down rumours circulating that Kit Siang would be prime minister if Umno were to lose in the next election.


"Najib wants to scare Umno members. Supposedly, if Umno  loses, then, Kit Siang will become prime minister. That is impossible. Kit Siang (‘s DAP) is a small party. The big parties are the two, three parties in Pakatan Harapan that are Malay-led parties.”

He said the eradication of the communal mentality of the Malays was not his task alone, but a task for every Malaysian.
"Eradication of the communal mentality of the Malays is not only my task alone, it is a task for everybody. Why am I only the one to blame?" – July 23, 2017.

PM moves to appease Felda fury - Will it work , I doubt it will work as they know it is their money and no gift from PM

Prime Minister Najib Razak at the National Felda Settlers Day celebration in Putrajaya today. Some 25,000 settlers were present, along with Felda chairman Shahrir Abdul Samad. – The Malaysian Insight pic by Seth Akmal, July 23, 2017.

AMID the array of problems related to Felda and its listed entities, Prime Minister Najib Razak has announced a cash incentive amounting to RM475 million to placate settlers.

At the closing of the three-day National Felda Settlers Day celebration in Putrajaya today, Najib also announced five housing and debt forgiveness incentives.

The cash incentive will see 94,956 settlers receiving RM5,000, payable by next month, to reward their support for the government.

Some 25,000 Felda settlers were present at the event, along with Felda chairman Shahrir Abdul Samad.


The five incentives are:

RM519 million set aside to allow each settler to have up to RM5,000 in debts forgiven if they are participants in Felda's programme to replant unproductive oil palm, with 17,679 settlers who are not part of the programme getting six months, beginning August, to join and apply for debt forgiveness;

A total of 77,934 settlers, who are still paying their Felda Global Ventures Holdings Bhd (FGV) equity loans, will have the balance of their loans disposed of, while 1,626 settlers, who have paid their loans, will get RM1,820 in cash each, with the disposals and cash incentive totalling RM128.1 million;

Interest-free housing loans of up to RM40,000 and approval to construct more than one house per site. A total of 70,506 sites for single-unit homes have also been set aside by Felda and approved by state governments, with the cost of the units' construction to be borne by the settlers;

A special replanting grant by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board, amounting to RM7,500 per hectare and covering 24,280ha, with an allocation of RM166.6 million until 2020; and,

A special fund of RM300 million that will be set up for the period between this year and 2021 to help with replanting operation debts exceeding RM40,000.

All in, the cash incentives and programmes will cost taxpayers RM1.59 billion.

Najib called on Felda settlers to rally behind the ruling Barisan Nasional government.

"Putrajaya will be defended at all cost. Don't believe the lies spread about Felda settlers not supporting the government.

“Look here, there are 25,000 supporters of Felda and the government.

"We held his year's celebration in Putrajaya because it is closely regarded by the national leadership," said Najib on the three-day event, where 50,000 attendees were expected.

He noted the contributions made by the agricultural programme, which was launched by his father, former prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein, in 1956.

"There are one million people whose future changed for the better due to the success of Felda and our struggle, which began 61 years ago.

"My father set up this initiative with these goals: land for the landless, job for the jobless and good land for good people.

"The Felda initiative is close to my heart. It cannot be separated from myself and my family.

“I promise you all, this initiative will continue.”

Felda settlers, who are predominantly ethnic Malays, form an important voting bloc for Umno.

They live in rural constituencies, accounting for 54 parliamentary seats.

Felda is currently mired in controversy, with the most recent Felda-linked scandal allegedly involving former chairman Isa Samad being the purchase of a luxury hotel in Kensington, London, at an inflated price.

Two Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd officers have been questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), which has opened investigation papers into the purchase.

Isa resigned from FGV on June 19 after a public row with FGV president and chief executive officer Zakaria Arshad over questionable deals amounting to hundreds of millions.

In March 2015, MACC had questioned an unnamed son of Isa's over the London purchase, it was reported.

The government had closed the case in May that year, saying there was no wrongdoing.

In a statement today, FGV denied any conspiracy in its investigations into Zakaria and three other executives, all of whom are on leave.

It said its "domestic inquiry" would focus on Safitex debt issues, which may involve up to RM50 million in unsettled debts. – July 23, 2017.

Najib Runs Out Of Panic Buttons – 92-Year-Old Mahathir Could Return As PM Again



Najib son of Razak tries to put on a brave face. Initially, he tried but couldn’t. It would take hours for the PR team at Putrajaya to “train” the Malaysian prime minister – psychologically and mentally – not to look nervous and panic. They found that the best way is for Mr. Najib to smile – a lot– so that the UMNO warlords would not see how worry their big boss really is.

So from now onwards, expect to see tons of smiles from Najib Razak, as if he was on heavy makeup like a clown would normally put. In reality, Prime Minister Najib Razak is fabulously panicked and terrified. He hadn’t seen this coming. His greatest enemies – opposition de-facto leader Anwar Ibrahim and mentor-turned-enemy Mahathir Mohamad have joined forces – for real!

True, in politics there are no permanent friends or enemies, only permanent interests. Still, the “bad blood” between Mr. Anwar and Mr. Mahathir was so thick that not even Taylor Swift’s song could melt it. After all, it was then Prime Minister Mahathir who accused and declared his Deputy Prime Minister Anwar guilty of sodomy and homosexual acts, essentially thrown him in jail.

For Anwar and Mahathir to kiss and become a tag-team (again) since 1998, it speaks volumes about a bigger and nastier enemy – Najib Razak. But were Anwar and Mahathir saints in the first place? Let’s call a spade a space. Both individuals practiced corruption, nepotism, cronyism and even racism when they were on the throne of powers.

However, at least when Anwar and Mahathir plunder the national coffers, they made sure for every dollar they took, the country could generate two dollars. On the contrary, Najib and Auntie Rosie will take two dollars for every dollar their regime could generate. That’s why the country’s foreign debt is approaching RM1-trillion. But that’s not the worst part.

The worst part is despite abolishing subsidies for petrol, diesel, sugar, cooking oil, electricity tariffs, water and whatnot, Najib regime somehow still couldn’t find the money to run the government efficiently. The son of Razak practically steals rice from a beggar’s bowl when he introduced 6% GST (goods and services tax) on 1 April 2015.

By jailing Anwar Ibrahim (for the second time for the same crime of sodomy), and bribed the so-called God-fearing PAS (Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party) with RM90 million, Najib thought the opposition was toast. Now with the emergence of Mahathir driving a new opposition coalition – Pakatan Harapan (Hope’s Pact) – Najib regime has plunged into panic and disarray.

How can you tell that Najib’s Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition is running out of panic buttons to push? It’s simple: look at the reaction of the prime minister’s bootlickers. When Mahathir finally revealed (over the weekend) the opposition coalition’s new logo, flag and leadership structure, Najib’s top bootlicker Salleh Said Keruak went ballistic babbling about DAP not holding any top positions.

Like it or not, the 92-year-old old fox Mahathir has demonstrated his awesome political skills once again. It was by design that DAP was deliberately not included in the top three positions in Pakatan Harapan’s new line-up. Anwar would probably put a Malay from PKR, an Islamic spiritual leader from PAS and a Chinese from DAP, just to satisfy everyone.

As a former prime minister who had ruled for 22 years, Mahathir knew the next 14th general election, which will have to happen on or before 24 August 2018, will be fought based on racial cards. Najib will run a campaign so racist that it would make Donald Trump looks like he was a long lost brother of King Salman. Therefore, rural ethnic-Malay voters cannot be spooked by Chinese in the line-up.

That explains why Mr. Salleh Said Keruak was so upset that no Chinese DAP was in the line-up. Mahathir was named as chairman while Anwar was declared de-facto leader. Anwar’s wife, Wan Azizah, was proclaimed president of the opposition coalition. All three are Malay-Muslims to convince the folks in Malay villages that the coming election is a fight among Malay-Muslims.

By putting DAP at backstage, retired Mahathir could lead an easier charge against super-corrupt Najib without having to worry about allegations that ethnic-Chinese is taking over the country. After all, how could a Chinese becomes prime minister when the top three positions in Pakatan Harapan’s new line-up are made up of Malay-Muslims?

The clearest sign pointing to Najib’s panic mode was when the prime minister himself, supposedly very confident of winning big in the 14th nationwide election, had to travel hundreds of kilometres away at night to Sembrong in the state of Johor practically begging and bribing for votes. He brought along heavyweights like Hishammuddin Hussein and Deputy PM Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

It would be just an ordinary Hari Raya open house if not for the fact that Sembrong is the parliamentary seat of Najib’s cousin Hishammuddin. The defence minister won the seat in 2013 with a majority of 10,631 votes or 63.7% of total votes. It has been UMNO’s traditional stronghold. Using his favourite “you help me, I help you” tactic to fish for votes, was Najib signalling that even Sembrong could fall?

The battle has actually begun, even before Mr. Najib could call for a snap election. While Mahathir has declared that the highly unpopular GST would be scrapped, Najib’s shining star Khairy Jamaluddin (Youth and Sports Minister) plays with another racist topic – provoking the sensitive issue of abolishing vernacular school – hoping it would start a Malay-vs-Chinese war.

Nazri Aziz, the badass who was the most racist minister under previous Mahathir administration, also went bonkers by suggesting both Mahathir and Anwar would kill each other. When even Nazri was speechless that both enemies could become best friends again, you don’t need a rocket scientist to tell how terrified and panicked Najib and his boys are.

Heck, Mr. Nazri was so worry with the latest development that he actually suggested Jamal Yunos, a gangster who tried to terrorize Chinatown but was stopped by China’s ambassador to Malaysia Huang Huikang, should be made UMNO Youth Chief. Has UMNO run out of talents or was Nazri running Najib’s errand of preparing for racial riots, in case they lose?

PM Najib had the cheek to shamelessly declare that the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is a gift to the people, when in fact the mega project was built using taxpayers’ money. He should instead prove that Saudi Arabia had indeed “gifted” him with US$700 million cash. Likewise, his wife should prove that she hadn’t purchased a RM117 million 22-carat pink diamond necklace using money siphoned from 1MDB.

Anwar Ibrahim had his opportunity but failed to capture the federal government in 2013. Now, Mahathir is the only person left who could charm the simple-minded Malay folks. With Chinese votes basically in the bag, the battle is for Malay support. UMNO insiders were so panicked that the party has started the racial rhetoric last weekend, right after the revelation of Pakatan Harapan’s new leadership structure.

It would be hard for Najib to justify that Mahathir is on a mission to destroy the Malays. However, it would be quite easy for Mahathir to justify that Najib has stolen billions of dollars of Malays’ money. Thanks to 1MDB and Felda scandals, not to mention GST and rising cost of living, Mahathir might be able to convince the Malays that Thief-in-Chief Najib should not even be allowed to own fish as pets.

Innocent Malays losing out in the land of Malays to the robber Malays

This Is What The Malays Have Become, After GTP, ETP, Transformasi, Boston, McKinsey, GLC, High Income Economy, Entah Apa Lagi

MO1's Budget this year clearly shows what has become and what is becoming of the fate of the Malays.

Just by looking at the  classifications and allocations   used in the Budget you can  map out the existence of the Malays.  And all this is a result of using handouts and easy money as economic policy.

The first one is this comment by Najib :
PM tells poor M'sians to be Uber drivers  : More M'sians, B40 (Bottom 40) group should be Uber drivers Najib said; recommends M'sians to enter ride-sharing service to earn extra; down payment using BR1M, rebate RM4k for Proton Iriz,  Najib added.

This is a new classification. This is the first time I am hearing about B40 or Bottom 40.  Lets not bullshit ok - the vast majority of these B40 are the Malays. During Dr Mahathir's time we did not have this special classification called B40. At that time the whole country was on its way out of any classifications.

But under Najib, and since Badawi too, we have almost a  new racial grouping. Keturunan : B40.   So what happened to High Income Economy? RM6000 household income and all that crap? Penipu !

And what does Najib want the B40 to do? He wants them to become Uber taxi drivers !!  Mampus lah hangpa. Thats all the future your own pemimpin sees for his own race. Become taxi drivers.  The PM suggests that becoming a taxi driver should be a growth industry for the Malays.

Then the Budget has "BR1M will benefit 7 million; allocation of RM6.8bil".

Again this is largely a Malay thing. This is direct giving of 'alms for the poor' or  'sedekah bagi pengemis'.  Najib has made beggars out of the people. Thats what it is.  RM83.33 'sedekah' per month. This is a ridiculous figure. It does not make any difference in your life. No beggar can beg his way out of poverty.   The fact that the PM can proudly brag about 7 million mostly Malays being this poor is evidence enough that his brain is seriously twisted. Najib is making receiving BR1M another growth industry for the Malays.

Then lets look at this figure :

* Only 2.1 million income tax payers out of 14.6 million of country's total workforce.

This means that 12.5 million workers either avoid paying taxes or they fall below the minimum RM3000 monthly income threshold to pay any income taxes. I think it is the latter.  And for sure 12.5 million workers DO NOT belong in that RM6000 household income group.  They are certainly NOT high income.  And these will be overwhelmingly Malays.

There are 30 million people in the country.  Say 70% are Malays. Thats 21 million people. About seven million are Chinese. Another two million Indians and Lain2. For certain the numbers of Malay taxpayers is proportionately very small. The amount of taxes they pay will also be proportionately small.

So 2.1 million taxpayers are paying taxes that fill the Treasury, including paying salaries for 1.6 million Civil Servants, who are again over 90% Malays.

Alamak ! What if these 2.1 million 'taxpayers' take up Ikan Bakar's advice and migrate? Will it miraculously improve the gomen's tax revenues?  Will the gomen's finances go from hutang gila babi (oops ...gila khinzir)  to  huge budget surpluses?  I dont think so.

All the mollycoddling has NOT increased substantially the numbers of Malay taxpayers who can pay their own taxes and sustain their own wellbeing in the economy.  It should be the target of policy making to increase the numbers of Malays beyond the tax paying threshold.  But right now the growth industry for Malays is driving taxis and lining up for cash handouts.

Fully Paid Study Leave with scholarship to Support Group
Quarantine leave up to five days without record for public servants
Computer loan facility for public servants
motorcycle loan for public servants from RM5,000 to RM10,000.
civil servant’s housing loans
30,000 units of Perumahan Penjawat Awam 1Msia

This is another growth industry for the Malays. They make up the huge bulk of public servants, maybe over 90%

of 1.6 million public servants. Considering that gomen does not function too well, economic growth is slowing, revenue collection is dwindling you know that far too many public servants are sleeping on the job. All the indexes are haywire. Corruption index up, education index down, food poisoning index up, sports achievement index down, sports ministry budget up, health ministry budget down, integrity index down, curi index up, religious tolerance index down, religious extremism index up etc. The gomen is not functioning.

Or, if you have too many public servants, then the job becomes a place to sleep. Or a place to minum teh at 9am, 10:30am, 3pm, 4pm. Or sembahyang at 8am, 12:30pm, 3pm, 4pm. Or 'pi mesyuarat' 8:30am till 4pm.  The best years of a human beings life are spent producing not much. Or nothing at all.

Yet the gomen is giving more and more goodies to the civil servants. The reason is obvious - to buy their support. Make them indebted. Rule 1 of colonialism : keep them barefooted and dumb. Rule 1A : give them whiskey / opium / religion and keep their minds 'befogged'.

A compliant civil service is another growth industry for the Malays being promoted by the gomen.

The next growth industry for the Malays (in the Budget) is food catering and food hawkers' business.

RM1.1bil for Hostel Meal Assistance Programme for 365,000 students.
RM300mil for 1Malaysia Supplementary Food Programme for primary school students.
RM1.4 Billion for food catering in schools !! Wow !

I call this the 'sakit perut halal' sector. This is a really supergrowth industry that can only be sustained by easy gomen money. That is why you see so many cases of food poisoning at the sekolah asrama, sekolah kebangsaan etc where the food caterers and cafeteria operators are almost exclusively Malay.
If the makcik nasi lemak at the market sells nasi lemak sakit perut, very soon she will be out of business. That is why you rarely suffer sakit perut food poisoning at the makick nasi lemak.

But not the crony food caterers and cafeteria operators who sell towgay swimming in stale water or cabbage swimming in stale water as food at the school and university cafeterias.  They are unhygienic and sell recycled food. They dont have to worry because they will still get the food supply contracts - awarded under the table. RM1.4 Billion worth of food catering contracts.

This is another major growth sector for the Malays as well.
increase monthly allowance of 15,000 imam to RM850
RM500 to nearly 16,000 Bilal and Siak for managing mosques
Kafa teachers’ allowance increased to RM900 a month
Religion (and hocus pocus) is another huge growth industry of course.  They have to buy the PAS vote. Many of these people also double up as bomoh, dukun, penghalau jin, pemisah jodoh and pemasang jodoh.  Some of them strike it very rich. They have conned thousands with fake medical cures and have made enough money to travel to the US to  get real, scientific, medical treatment for themselves.  This is a definitely a growth sector for the Malays. That is why the gomen is spending money on this from the Budget.

Now lets get back to those 2.1 million taxpayers who pay most (if not all) the taxes to fill the gomen's coffers which the gomen then burns to fund all these 'growth sectors'.

How many of those 2.1 million taxpayers belong to the 'sakit perut halal' sector? Or the poo kanan poo kiri sector?  Or drive taxis? Not many.

Now imagine that a bolt of lightning strikes all those 2.1 million taxpayers and makes them all go cuckoo. They decide that they too want to work in the 'sakit perut' food catering sector, become bilal and siak, work in the gomen jobs, drive taxis or just wait for the BR1M lorry to come along.

Do you think the gomen will be able to collect more income taxes or less income taxes?  

So I think those 2.1 million taxpayers reserve some serious respect. At a time when even Petronas cannot contribute as much to the Budget anymore (Petronas contribution is now a secret) it is those 2.1 million taxpayers who are also sustaining the gomen's Budget.

The 2 year old GST is not a tax. It is an oppression. Even 12 year old kids have to pay GST ! ! We have to be rid of it.

UNIVERSITY SUMATRA UTARA BEWARE THIS WHAT YOU INDIAN STUDENT WILL SUFFER;;;

Read about Uni


 Discrimination and racism. That is what we go throught every single day. From lecturers calling us derogatory terms like keling and hitam to being scorned and being failed for no reason. But the main issue here is , this agent, eagle eye. If they didn't lie about this place , we would not have gone there. They lied about EVERYTHING. They took a big sum of money for our first sem fees , and lodging and "shopping " for our basic nescesities it seems. But the moment they dropped us of there , that's it . We were helpless. They left back to malaysia the very next day. Our hostel looked like prison cells. No water. No electricity fir at least 9-12 hours a day. Imagine that. We were living like destitutes. And the worst part was we had to pay sem fees again. This agent took the 1st sem fees from us. But did not make the payment to USU. They took kitas money as well , but we ended up paying almost rm 800 again on our own in USU io. And the worst lie the eagle eye people ever told us was about NOC. They said we did not need NOC. But they took noc money from us as well , yet they never ever applied for us. These idiots told us lectures would be in English and that we would graduate in 5 years. Rubbish. The bloody lecturers rule in usu , especially in fkg. They decide when the students graduate. What nonsense. As long as eagle eye still exists , a lot more gullible people are going to be cheated. All those parents who want a good future for thier kids are going to fall for their bullshit talks , the way my parents did.

‘UNCLES’ FROM SINGAPORE FLOCKING TO JB FOR FUN WITH HOOKERS

PETALING JAYA – There’s something tantalising across the Causeway and it’s neither the food nor shopping in Johor Bahru. For a number of Singaporean retirees, it’s the lure of foreign prostitutes that keeps them coming for more.

In an article in The Star Online, that quoted the China Press, a street in Johor Bahru has been earning a reputation for itself as a “red-light district”, thanks to the many older men from Singapore who head there to meet prostitutes from Vietnam and China.
The meeting places are common coffee shops dotting the street, where girls decked in revealing attire, approach the “uncles” as they are called.


Chen, a Singaporean, told the China Press that his 70-year-old father, had taken a liking to the place, and kept asking his children for more money to spend there.

“We hope the Malaysian police will take action,” Chen said.

Yet another Singaporean, refusing to give his name, said he and his friends headed to Johor Bahru at least once a week in search of these women. He also said they typically spent between RM80-150 on the girls each time they met, depending on the girl’s age and how she looked.
