Persamaan Osama Laden dengan PAS

Ramai orang bertanya pendapat saya mengenai Osama Laden. 

Fakta : Osama Laden adalah bekas agen CIA yang menjadi aset penting semasa Perang Dingin antara blok barat vs komunis. Tugas2 Osama lebih fokus kepada menggunakan sentiment popular iaitu Islam, dengan mengucar - kacirkan mana2 negara Islam yang tidak sebulu dengan US/Barat semasa Perang Dingin. Islam digunakan sebagai pendapat umum. Selepas tahun 1991 dengan kejatuhan USSR, ramai agen2 perang dingin telah diberi "Burn Notice" termasuk Osama. 

 Hampir kesemua agensi2 perisikan dunia telah mengesahkan Osama Laden adalah agen CIA. Salah seorangnya Fidel Castro. Baca sini. 

Apa itu "Burn Notice"? 

 "A burn notice is an official statement issued by one intelligence agency to other agencies. It states that an individual or a group is unreliable for one or more reasons. This is essentially a directive for the recipient to disregard or "burn" all information derived from that individual or group."  

Ramai agen2 ni samada dibunuh atau dipaksa bersara tanpa ada apa2 hubungan dengan kerajaan mereka.

Selepas tahun 1991 iaitu selepas tamatnya Perang Dingin, Osama Laden bukan seorang saja yang mendapat "Burn Notice" dari CIA, tetapi ratusan ribu lagi agen2 yang bekerja dengan CIA semasa Perang DIngin. Ini dikatakan satu program "tutup buku" oleh CIA memandangkan CIA dah mempunyai hubungan diplomatik dengan negara2 bekas Soviet dan negara2 sebelum ni yang bersaing dengan pengaruh komunis. 

Bukan Osama Laden je yang menentang balik majikan mereka (CIA), tapi ramai lagi iaitu setelah mendapat istilah "Burn Notice" dari majikan mereka. Cuma Osama Laden ni famous sikit sebab dia gunakan "sentiment popular" iaitu Islam, untuk justifikasikan penentangan seperti yang Osama belajar dari majikan mereka. Isu Osama dengan bekas majikan beliau bermula selepas tahun 1989 iaitu "ketua" atau inspirasi asal idea Al-Qaeda, Abdullah Yusuf Azzam telah dibunuh oleh Covert Ops yang tidak dikenali.

Realitinya, ramai jugak agen2 CIA sendiri yang seangkatan dengan Osama bersimpati dengan Osama Laden, maklumlah mereka ni berjuang sekali semasa Perang Dingin. Mereka mungkin sedih sebab Osama sangat dedikasi tetapi jasanya kepada US/Barat terutamanya CIA dibalas dengan tuba. Salah seorangnya ialah penulis buku “My Jihad” bernama Aukai Collins sebagai Covert Ops yang berjuang dengan pejuang Islam Chechen. Si Aukai Collins ni pun kena "Burn Notice" gak apabila lokasi2 strategiknya telah dibocorkan kepada Spetnaz Russia memandangkan Amerika memulihkan hubungan diplomatik dengan Russia dan Azerbaijan. Cuma bezanya, Aukai Collins ni tak melawan balik macam Osama sebab beliau tidak bersetuju dengan cara Osama nak balas dendam. 

Realiti dan fakta, agensi2 perisikan US dah tahu lebih awal mengenai 9/11 semenjak tahun 1998 lagi, di mana mereka dah lama monitor dah puak2 pengganas ni, tapi saje je tak ambik tindakan ;

"An FBI informant named Aukai Collins claims he told the FBI about Hanjour's activities during 1998, giving them Hanjour's name and phone number, and warning them that more and more foreign-born Muslims seem to be taking flying lessons."

Kesimpulannya, Osama Laden hanyalah seorang bekas agen CIA yang marah kepada bekas majikannya. Dan Osama menggunakan pengetahuan2nya semasa beliau di CIA untuk membalas dendam sampai berjaya mempengaruhi ramai umat Islam. Dan impak negatifnya, US berjaya mengambil peluang menjajah 2 negara Islam kerana menggunakan nama Osama Laden, walhal pada suatu ketika Osama dan Taliban/AlQaeda ni adalah hero kepada US. Jika Osama ditangkap hidup2 baru kita akan tahu apa rahsia sebenar, tapi sayang, US dah "close book" dengan letak peluru di kepala. 

Bila dan di mana Osama mula menjadi CIA Agent? Iaitu pada 1979, apabila CIA melancarkan satu program rahsia yang dinamakan Operation Cyclone, iaitu operasi rahsia termahal dalam sejarah CIA. Ramai yang terlibat sebenarnya seperti ISI, MI6. Dan hasil daripada operasi ni lahirnya Taliban, Osama, AlQaeda dan macam2 organisasi pengganas Islam yang kita kenal hari ni. Yayasan demokrasi barat ni memang dah "front" CIA gak.

Anwar's Friends Are Liars, Killers and Nasty!

I don’t mind if Anwar making friends with foreigners, especially US. Most of them are good guys. But you all see, out of those 200 million US populations, Anwar still wanna make friends with people like Shaha Riza, Dick Cheney, Wolfowitz, and these people have created problems not just for Muslims around the world, but for non Muslims too. And most of us lost jobs and income. That sucks. And Anwar is not being fair to the dead Iraqis when he gave her a job in his Washington based foundation.

There’s nothing offensive to the US, I have tones of US friends and almost all want Dick Vheney, Wolfowitz, Shaha Riza and all the people behind the lies of WMD should be thrown behind bars. Cause due to this people. The price of oil have increased tremendously, the indirect results of melting of US + World economic meltdown, lost of jobs which is more than 19 million people end up jobless in US, such a short time.

The majority of citizens have spoken in their past election, which cause historical results – THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT IN US. Therefore I share some of those US people that voted against Bush and his cronies, inclusive Shaha Riza. We want these people and friends to be behind bars, inclusive their friends in this country too! You all know who?? ANWAR IBRAHIM!! We need to change, we need to stop the lies, the lies that use religion, human rights, freedom, democracy, which at the end only feed someone’s greed!!

Somehow we can also see, it was Anwar’s friends that caused the increased of oil price!! Thanks to the lies of WMD in Iraq. And now Anwar took one of them Shaha Riza to work for him in his Washington based foundations. And today BN got the blame for high fuel price. THANK YOU ANWAR IBRAHIM!!

According to a profile of Wolfowitz published in the London Sunday Times of March 20, 2005, Riza “shares Wolfowitz’s passion for spreading democracy in the Arab world” and is said to have reinforced his determination to remove Saddam Hussien’s oppressive regime.

Ok, what actually happened? The deaths of more than 100,000 innocent men and women and at the end, there’s no WMD in Iraq. And Iraq is in chaos until today, plus world economic down turn and high priced of speculate petroleum price. Thanks to people like Shaha Riza, Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney and his crew.

Anwar is not behind all those conspiracies, he’s not smart enough to plan all those. He screwed up in 1996 by making wrong choice between IMF vs Currency Control and Bail Out method. And many more total screw ups that happened today.

Anwar care more for people like Shaha Riza, the person who had scandals with Wolfowitz to work for him in his foreign foundation. He’s willing to give better treatment in terms of high salaries and gifts to Saiful (before court case), and he even allowed the mistreatment of his own Penang PKR men from Lim Guan Eng. If he can’t even be fair to his own PKR men, what makes he will be fair to us all?

Did Saiful deserve the raise from DSAI? And in the International scene, did Shaha Riza deserve the raise by Wolfowitz? Hurmm, this 2 guys – Anwar and Wolfowitz seems to share the same pattern .. hahahaha.

Check out the article ;

Written by Tony on April 16, 2007, 11:47am.

“World Bank, President Paul Wolfowitz is under a lot of scrutiny because of the raise his girlfriend, Shaha Riza did received. Riza is a communication official in the bank’s Middle East department. Critics are saying that Paul Wolfowitz unfairly set her up for a big payday because of their romantic relationship.

But did other senior level executive in similar positions to Riza also get raise? Was this pay increase abnormal? How does her new pay scale compare with her peers? None of these details seem to be the focus on media coverage. Instead, it’s just scandal!

At this point, he (Paul) is more a liability than an asset. He cannot recover from how far he has fallen,” says Manish Bapna, Executive Director of the Bank Information Center, a non-profit development group.”

Yes, cronisme is a basic human nature, we seem to listen, give and trust more to the ones we know, rather than strangers. And this is fact. The only thing is how far we can be fair or control it. For God sakes, why Shaha Riza? Why her? Anwar can even choose his own daughter, Nurul Izzah or even Elizabeth Wong, or whoever in the middle eastern women. At least these women are not having affair with Wolfowitz, or even got link with Cheney.

The thing is, out of 200 million US populations, he wants to make friends with the few bad guys in US. And worst, Anwar took one of them, (Shaha Riza) to work for him too. That is totally fuck up.

Tony Pua Barua Haram : Persoal Isu Kapal

Isu : Pembelian kapal yang didakwa 870 peratus lebih mahal oleh setiausaha publisiti DAP laknatullah, Tony Pua.

Tony Pua gagal membezakan jenis kapal yang ingin dibina (bukan dibeli) oleh TLDM. Menurut Tony Pua, dia merujuk kepada pembelian 6 biji kapal peronda pesisir pantai atau dalam Bahasa Inggerisnya ‘Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV)’, sedangkan TLDM ingin membina di Malaysia ialah 6 biji kapal LCS. Tengok gambaq OPV tu. TONY PUA KENCING RAKYAT MALAYSIA!

“The Royal Malaysian Navy intends to purchase much smaller ships that they call littoral combat ships”. Laa, kapal ni la depa dok kecoh. TONY Pua habaq bot peronda yang tu bahasa pasaq la, bahasa Inggeris dia LCS. Harga market kapal ni ialah USD437 juta,wow! Kalau Najib cakap dalam RM1billion sebuah, maknanya Najib dapat diskaun laa.

Tony Pua ingat semua orang bodoh macam dia ke? Lu boleh tipu ramai orang, bukan semua orang, apek.

Ni sampel LCS yang Malaysia kecoh nak beli ni, seketul USD437 juta tu geng. Kapal jenis ni memang pisang panas ni, Eropah mau, Israel mau, China mau, Arab Saudi pun mau. US pun duk re-invent Navy dan replace banyak jenis versi/kapal dengan hanya satu versi, iaitu LCS.

The concept behind the littoral combat ship, as described by former Secretary of the Navy Gordon R. England, is to "create a small, fast, maneuverable and relatively inexpensive member of the DD(X) family of ships." The ship is easy to reconfigure for different roles, including anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, homeland defense, maritime intercept, special operations, and logistics. Due to its modular design, the LCS will be able to replace slower, more specialized ships such as minesweepers and larger assault ships.

So kita save kos la nanti masa depan, sebab kelas LCS ni macam2 boleh buat. 

Ni video pasai LCS yang kecoh2 tu. Kapal macam ni memang adalah masa hadapan Navy di dunia, bukan setakat Battle Flexibility. Tapi long term cost saving, hangpa semua dengaq part yang last sekali pasai cost saving, yang tu kita minat nak dengaq. Tang pertahanan tu, part kita punya MOD pikiaq la :D

“The LCS is likely to live out its 20 year lifecycle, because without built-in combat technologies, the ship wont become obsolete quickly”

Hangpa pernah tengok tak gambaq James Bond – “Tomorrow Never Dies”? Ingat kapai stealth tu tak? Nilah dia versi reality dia. Ni sampel gambaq versi LCS. Nampak macam stealth sikit, steady ek, bukan OPV yang Tony Pua kencing tu.

 LCS ini diperkenalkan di US pada 2001, tujuan utama NAK JIMATKAN LIFE CYCLE KOS Navy US dan pada masa yang sama nak maintain/majukan performance yang sedia ada. Sebab ekonomi tak menentu, dengan maintenance banyak jenis kapal, fuel consumption, macam2. Memang initial cost dia tinggi, sebab teknologi baru beb, tapi dari upkeep cost, dari segi overall Navy, cost boleh jimat sebab LCS ni boleh ganti banyak jenis kapal. LCS ni multi role dan fuel consumption dia tak tinggi berbanding dengan destroyer lain2. Macam beli Toyota PRIUS la, memangla mahal, seketul tak salah aku USD 28k (takde duti import ok). Tapi dari segi consumption, maintenance dan life cycle boleh save :D

LCS ni masih dalam proses adjustment sampai konsep dia sempurna, dan dalam 10 tahun (2001 – 2010) punya progress dan adjustment, dia bagus untuk jimatkan life cycle cost. LCS ni adalah “future”

“The ship may also be used anti-piracy and humanitarian missions, Lemmo said. The LCS is likely to live out its 20 year lifecycle. Lemmo believes, because without built-in combat technologies, the ship wont become obsolete quickly”

 http://www.federalnewsradio.com/?nid=15&sid=2221393

Memang ada kapal lagi murah, macam kelas corvette, mine sweeper, anti sub warship dll kelas. Tapi versi LCS ni konsep dia nak ambil alih tugas2 yang dibuat oleh 2 atau 3 jenis kapal versi/kelas lain sekali gus, so maknanya kita akan jadi lebih kos efektif la sikit. Tak payah beli banyak jenis kapal untuk buat satu jenis kerja.

Aku pun awal2 heran apsai bot peronda mahai sangat, rupanya kapai jenis LCS (Littoral Combat Ship), yelah bahasa pasar org panggil bot peronda zaman moden, pandai Tony Phua kencing. LCS ni seketui memang dalam USD 437 juta ke USD 440 juta.

Point aku sekarang, bukan sebab nak promo LCS (Littotal Combat Ship), tapi kenapa Tony Pua MENIPU rakyat Malaysia?? Dia kata Malaysia nak beli OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessels), padahal Malaysia dah bagitau LCS. Kuat sangat menipu tu, kuranglaa sikit.

Tun Daim - ICB Seeking Out Opportunities

ICB Global Management replies to queries by Malaysian Business.

THE International Commercial Bank Group (ICB), with a string of banks in Eastern Europe and Africa, has come a long way since its first bank was set up in the Czech Republic in 1993. But its acquisition of PT Bank Bumiputera in Indonesia marks its entry into the big league of international banking. 

With the successful penetration of the Indonesian market, the group looks set to expand beyond the non-traditional financial markets into Southeast Asia or where it sees opportunities for growth. Harith Harun, general manager of ICB Global Management Sdn Bhd, has been tasked with the job of ensuring that plans are being put in place, in line with ICB’s aim of being identified as a key player in the emerging markets.

ICB founder Tun Daim Zainuddin has declined a request by Malaysian Business for an interview. However, we caught up with Harith to get some insights into the group’s operations.

Harith, 49, started his banking career in 1981 at United Malayan Banking Corporation and remained with the bank until 1993. In 1994, he joined the ICB Group to set up ICB Budapest.

Harith was general manager of the bank for three years, after which he came back to Malaysia to establish ICB banks in other countries. Following are excerpts of the interview:  

Eastern Europe and Africa are not exactly the traditional financial centres. Except for the global European and United States banks, none of the Malaysian or regional banks are in these countries. What do you see that others don’t? 

Our focus has always been on the emerging markets. These markets provide relatively greater opportunities for growth in the long-term. We entered the Eastern European market (Hungary and the Czech Republic) in 1993, at the early stage of the political and economic transition of countries in the region following the collapse of the Soviet Union. 

The transition from a closed, centrally planned economy to a market ‘western-modelled’ economy had opened up new opportunities to foreign investors in all fields. The establishment of banks, particularly foreign banks, was very much welcomed by the various governments, not only to provide the much-needed funds to rebuild the economy but also as a way to modernise the old banking system, which hitherto was controlled by the state.

We went to Africa in 1996, at a time when our government was actively encouraging Malaysian companies and businessmen to invest in Africa - in line with the policy on South-South Cooperation. Petronas and Telekom Malaysia are among the companies that have established a strong presence on the continent. In the banking sector, there was a big scope, and there still is, for new banks to set up operations.

With the rise in education and income level, customers are demanding wider, more sophisticated and efficient banking services. You will be surprised that even basic banking needs such as housing loans are not easily available in some of these countries. Here is where Malaysian bankers can impart their experience and skills to develop suitable and attractive products to meet the customers’ needs.

Does ICB have what it takes to succeed in these markets?

We have been in these markets for 10 years now and have acquired a fairly good knowledge of the local business conditions and practices. We have invested substantially in people and systems. Our customer base is growing every year. Each country is different and as such ICB strives to ensure tailor-made and differentiated products to suit customer needs. We want to be identified as a progressive bank, and committed towards excellence in the provision of banking services to our customers.

Where and what will be the thrust of ICB’s expansion plan?

The thrust of our expansion will be in Africa. We will be commencing operations in Sierra Leone this month; and the next, in The Gambia, is planned for November this year.

We expect to receive approval of banking licences in three other countries in Africa later this year.?

What are the priority areas of focus at present?

Our group recognises that the key to penetrating the emerging markets is to focus on capacity building. In this respect, we have dedicated substantial investments to ensure that the best people are employed; the operating systems are technologically superior; proven systems and methods are implemented consistent with best practices; strong internal controls are entrenched; and proactive risk management is implemented and respected.

 Which market is the most profitable for the group?

It is difficult to compare the financial performance of our banks in the two markets as the various banks are at different stages of growth. Further, the banking environment is different not only between the two markets but also among countries in the same market.?Having said that, based on the performance of the group in recent years, we see that growth will be more significant from our African operations.

What has ICB’s financial performance been like over the past three years?

We are unable to provide the figures on group basis as the accounts of the various banks are not consolidated.?Overall, growth in assets, revenue and income has been within expectations. Total assets have grown at an average rate of 60% a year. ROE of the respective banks on average ranged from 5%-20% over the past three years.

What has contributed to the growth?

A significant portion of the growth was contributed by lending activities. Our target segments are the middle market, SMEs and the consumers. Trade finance business is also growing rapidly. It has to be noted that the loan growth was funded entirely by customers’ deposits. Hence, the substantial increase in deposits indicates that the public has confidence in us.  

ICB recently spread its wings to Indonesia. How important is the market to the group? Is it the start of similar investments in Southeast Asia?

Indonesia is an important market for us. The country has gradually recovered from the Asian financial crisis, and has enjoyed political and economic stability in the last few years. GDP has rebounded to pre-crisis level. Over the next three years, GDP is forecast to grow at 4%-5% a year.

The banking sector is cleaner and leaner now following a spate of mergers and consolidation. We see tremendous potential in the banking sector considering the huge market. Indonesia is our first investment in Southeast Asia. We however are not limiting our expansion to Southeast Asia but are also looking for opportunities in other parts of Asia.

There is a view that the sale of Langkah Bahagia’s stake in Malaysian Plantations marks Daim’s exit from the local banking sector so as to concentrate on ICB’s operations overseas. Is this true?

Langkah Bahagia is not part of ICB and Daim sold his interest a long time ago.  

How would you describe your partnership with Temasek Holdings?

A good partner to have.
