Malaysia’s new Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, highlighted the concept of the Malaysian Family in his inaugural address to the nation.
This is a welcome development, especially after the unsavoury political jostling and power grabs over the last couple of years. “Let us open our hearts and minds to uncover similarities, without digging up differences,” he said. “We need to work together to save our family, that is, the Malaysian Family.”
He said he used the Malaysian Family approach because this phrase has a more inclusive connotation. “It crosses boundaries of religion, nationality and ethnicity.” The strength of the nation, he said, is “tied to the exemplary values inculcated in the family.
“We are one family, irrespective of religion and ethnicity. Every one of you is like my own family – whether it is the youth or the elderly. We can be likened to the complementary parts of our body which need each other. ”
These are welcome words of inclusivity coming from a leader of Malaysia, where unscrupulous elements have long manipulated race and religion to create divisions for political gain, ie divide and rule.
It sets the tone for our Merdeka and Malaysia Day celebrations, which this year are likely to be even more subdued given the political, economic and healthcare crises we face.
These words are soothing to the ear, like balm to a divided, suffering nation.
But, as always, the devil is in the detail. The test is whether the new administration, which has many old faces in it, can show that it takes the prime minister’s words seriously. Full article on Aliran website

What is a State Government ? – A body of civil servants elected by the people of the state. What is the job description of a State Government ? – To Govern the State and serve its people. The State civil servant salary comes from ? – Tax paid by the people of the State. To civil servants, political leaders n supporters who may have become Intellectually incapacitated, due to overly indulging in politics, this is as simple as it gets. If they still do not understand what is being said, then we can’t blame anyone except ourselves, for it… Read more »
Uncle Wyatt. Civil Servants are NOT elected by people!!! You see advertisement and qualification and then apply for the JOB. Interview process. Civil servants are employed to do their job. State to govern state eg PDC, City Council to administrate the Council eg road cleaner and Central – Federal. How can one fire CIVIL servants. You mean by voting in the election to fire a worker from Pengland state PDC?
Malaysian taxpayers spent RM82 billion last year just to keep civil servants on the job. They also forked out RM27.1 billion to show their appreciation for the work done years ago by those who have retired from the service.

About 1 civil service to serve 40 rakyat. servants serves tuans and puans but here, is reverse cycle which we have to call them tuans
Current Covid, they still have their, no cut pay but very less work due to lockdown. Rest of rakyat like beetles sing “A hard day night, working like a dog” and no work, no pay
Why our salary is behind that in Singapore?

DON’T KEEP VOTING IN GRANDPAS’ AND SENIOR UNCLES’ for this people have past their prime.
They will no longer have innovative fresh bright ideas or vision of how the state should continue
to progress combining the old with the new, economically n otherwise. Their old body n mind
will not allow. WITH ALL RESPECT THEY SHOULD SIMPLY RETIRE. The political parties/leaders should begin putting forward young qualified candidates from both gender beginning with GE15. More independent candidates should also be encouraged.

Get to know in which constituency you are in, which are the political parties participating in it. Get to know who the party leaders are, who are the candidates proposed for your constituency. Everyone has a smartphone. Use it to the fullest. Give feedback to the political party leaders. Let them know what your grievances are.… Read more »
IT IS ALL IN YOUR HANDS FOR WHOM YOU VOTE. VOTE OUT THE OLD, VOTE IN THE NEW. VOTE FOR THE INDIVIDUAL, DON’T VOTE FOR THE PARTY. THE POLITICAL CANDIDATES DON’T VOTE THEMSELVES IN. YOU DO. YOU ARE RESPOSIBILE FOR WHOM YOU VOTE IN AS THE GOVERNMENT, THE MEMBER OF PARLIMENT N STATE ASSEMBLY PERSON. REMEMBER, ACTION SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS — RESPOSIBILE ACTION .

corner. Its once in every five years. p3
Dont vote = dont get new gomen.
Dont vote = Old gomen knows they will continue the same old style
DO YOU HAVE THE WILL TO DO IT – Simply telling the old leaders to find younger candidates to replace them may not happen. They will not want to do it. The old leaders thinking is that their political party is theirs under their control, so what can you, the rakyat do other than accept what is given to you. But what they may or may not realize is that you can ABSTAIN FROM VOTING THEM if they don’t listen to you, the rakyat. You don’t have to accept whatever crap they give you. You have the means to deny them… Read more »
Where were you? During your time, why you allow walk overs in the election. No one willing to be a candidate and the seat is uncontested? Even the party nominated you, you have the $$$ and speakers to conduct ceramahs? So the party leaders have to remain and contest in the elections. Training leaders not just talk and talk. Some said sayorana like chili padi. Many become frogmen. If you do not vote them in then may as well allow the “carry on” British comedy movie so popular in your time
Why talk like old man?
Maybe you cannot keep up with time?
You talk like young man and keep with the time. Go and show yourself and make Pengland keep up with the time.
Currently, there are an estimated 3.5 million people – or 7% of the population – in Malaysia who are above the age of 65.
Listen guys n gals, just talking about a change or replacement in the political parties leadership with young ones will not do. You need to work it. You the rakyat have the means to do it but do you have the will to do it. You have just about one n half years left. The younger candidates should be of a certain age limit, some management n communication skills, ideas n vision oriented with academic qualifications, so on n so forth. Some guideline required.
Young ones are clean and older ones are expert in asking to drink teh susu or kopi o kau kau
older ones have to work too. mooo and mooo does not help as demostrated.
YOU HAVE THE MEANS –
For example, you have IT devices to communicate with each other , just viral the needed information to vote out (remove) the old politians, you also have close personal contacts with families and friends etc. No movement or very minimal movement required. You can simply do it from where you are sitting or standing having your latte.
Old politicians have $ to employ cybertroopers to do likewise to defame their (young) opponents.
Not old but corrupted parties…

Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar has expressed dismay with the Home Ministry over its reluctance to review the tighter conditions announced for the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme.

Let the political parties leaders know, IF THEY WANT YOUR VOTE, they must give what you want, who you want for your constituency.

I not educated. But I cant discriminate one is old. Why vote women for MPs? So that they can represent the women. Population ages. There will be more Seniors like you.

By 65 years old many EPFs have reduced to ais kosong and no $$$ for Teh susu or kopi O kau kau. After a cup of teh susu or kopi O kau kau, more saliva to talk.

First we cannot compete with Singapore that has moved ahead with breakthroughs and innovative ideas.
Soon our aging workforce with old school thinking could lose out to the more vibrant Vietnamese and Indonesians?
Why always the need to compete with Singapore? Ageing workforce, old school thinking, losing out ? Penangite should have self-esteem, positive thoughts. The idea should be how to preserve the best of the old while bringing in the new. This is how innovative ideas should be applied. We are already in the digital age. We should become a model state.
To preserve the best of the old, first must extend retirement age beyond 60 years old, now that many have withdrawn substantially and prematurely from their EPF via iSinar. Innovative ideas for Penang is to provide free home WiFi for seniors to work from home, save traveling cost (no need LRT), cut traffic congestion and carbon emissions -> model state.
If Seniors work, then they have INCOME $$$. Why give free Wifi to those earning $$$? Dont say I cyberbully. What kind of logic in Pengland? In many countries and here, you dont know Seniors get reduced fares when they travel. The idea is to encourage them ACTIVE not sitting at home. I dont cyberbully you. You dont know 9.30am to 4pm, less traffic, passengers and bus frequency. The $$ collection is orso less. Right time for Seniors to take transport. You never take buses??
Same logic of providing subsidised fuel to fishermen when they can get $$$ from their catch. Seniors in Malaysia are used to subsidies, a way to overcome inertia.
That you have to ask Teh susu as he has good feeling. That policy cover Gilakan period and is from Central
In case one is wondering, everything about the old in Penang/Mainland is best and unique, just maintain n preserve. No need that many brick n mortar on the island. There are lots of land on the mainland. p1
uncle wyatt, well said. How to preserve the old and bring in the new? Anything touches is no no cannot cannot. How can Pengland be a fashion model?
The Penang rakyat has given the Penang State Government the mandate to govern Penang for more than 15 years. 15 years
is a long time, 3 terms actually. Can they tell us what have they
achieved so far. p2
Your wish comes true. your statement on 9 sept 5.29pm everything about the old is BEST. Just Maintain n preserve. This is what you said and wish. If not tell us what Uncle Wyatt wants? One thing change is Pengland is cleaner than Gilakan.
Tell us what you want??
Achieve what you want in your 9 Sept 5.29pm. “just maintain n preserve. No need that many brick n mortar on the island”
Those free prawn balls may help to swing some votes.
free prawns last how long? But vote wrong, can last more than 5 years
No fish, prawn also can.
“Bo hu, heh pun ho” (Hokkien saying)
Why not? It can be done. Just focus less on useless politics n focus more on holistic developments to develop Penang into a beautiful island city 100% people friendly n blending the old n new in a holistic way. State government must learn how to engage experts/ specialize in planning n development n for other matters from private sectors if they don’t have any within. p1
Shriek and Wyatt bromance shows DAP and Gerakan can collaborate?
‘Preserve the old’ into ‘Kiam Hoo’ (salted fish)? You should say ‘Prolong the old’ instead. A more respectful way for our senior citizens.
Wyatt plenty of land in Mainland but why few wants to move there or do farming there? Pengland is a Rocky mountain in north and west and why organic farming there? Plenty of farm land in mainland in peace
Not compete but Pengland kias went South for work oredi helping Sink apor to progress further as there are plenty of opportunities. But back in Pengland, everything cannot and cant. Untouchable
Grab was originally started by 2 Harvard Business School classmates – Anthony Tan and Tan Hooi Ling – in Malaysia. But the founders realized that in Malaysia, they must get ready to give 30% (or more) of company shares to Bumiputera. Singapore’s Temasek quickly grabbed the opportunity, pumping US$10 million into Grab in 2014, moved headquarters from Malaysia to Singapore. One example of how Malaysian talents are lost to foreign countries.

Former deputy education minister Teo Nie Ching and former deputy rural and regional development minister Sivarasa Rasiah have urged the government to allow non-Bumiputera students and students from vernacular schools to enrol in Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM) – bring back the 10% special quota for non-Bumiputera students in MRSM, in line with ‘Malaysian Family’ as announced by PM Ismail Sabri.

dont cyberbully me by making false accusation just like teh susu like to make all kind of comments without any responsibilty
You are high because you are a cyberbully mocking others.
Shriek aka zoro continuous onslaughts on tunglang, and now on milk tea, may backfire to bite him in return. Karma runs its course.
Slandering people also result karma runs its course. Please go and check the facts and ask Anil for the reason. Teh Susu orso mock at others but I am more polite to say KBKB.
he said he has good feeling about the system/organisation. is it mocking about the system? Then he mock gomen DONT HAVE A PLAN FOR ANYTHING yet he has so much saliva. You are smart please explain?
Reforms are difficult in Malaysia because the country is ruled by a “three-headed monster” of corruption, communal identity, and the concentration of power wielded by Umno, former CIMB Group Holdings Bhd’s chairman Nazir Razak said.
He described the monster as being hard to slay and said that past attempts at reform have often failed.

I find the slogan to be rather straightforward compared to “Malaysian Malaysia”.
“Malaysian Malaysia” preached by DAP is an emotional bait that is inflicted on the non-Malays. The constitution of Malaysia does not heed the slogan and Malaysia is built on differences, not similarities. There is a price to pay for wanting to preserve your culture and tradition.
I have a good feeling about this UMNO-led government.
We heard many slogans too. Like Dr M – Vision 2020 Hussen “work with me” and “wo men yit Jia ren” Good feeling- self shiok but just like the Talibans – after the war, nightmare running the country. We still has 20k Covid cases and Pengland has yet to peak and booster jabs will soon be required. Shiok will soon turn to shock and pengsan
The reality of Keluarga Malaysia:
https://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/?p=209912
teh susu still feeling shiok and high like having a yaba.
What self-shiok? If the country were so well-run, how did the Taliban manage to capture it within weeks. Penang will be great once DAP elected officials relinquish their positions in Penang. The state government doesn’t seem to have a plan for anything, they have an overwhelming majority but they do not act accordingly.
You feel good. Is’nt it self shiok Why are you KBKB if they dont have a plan? What are you KBKB at? KBKB at no plan? Then you are mabuk ith your teh susu??
Vision 2020 target is to achieve the US$16,000 per capita income, but fall short at only US$10,000 today.
Couple with the falling value in Ringgit, Keluarga Malaysia has lesser purchasing power.
Many complain rise in chicken price, hoping for ceiling price. Gomen cannot do much since Malaysia has to import chicken feed – corn and soy bean price went up due to low harvest caused by extreme weather change. So need to realise the impact of our low purchasing power (low income & low Ringgit).
I saw documentary. Sink apor after independent GPD is US500 and now US55000 without Crude oil, palm oil, water. Never mind, people still like to live in the past when Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma and even Indo is all moving ahead
Prinsip gaya hidup Malaysia:
Kais pagi makan pagi
Kais petang makan petang
Bantuan sara hidup rezeki
Puas rilek senang lenang
Kita Jaga Kita. The message is clear, take care of ourselves.
Do not count on those slogans and political catchphrase.
Cheers kopi!

“How can the prime minister convince the rakyat about the sincerity and commitment of his Malaysia Family concept that is inclusive and unites all Malaysians when he talks of protectionist policies for Bumi but not for non-Bumi vis-à-vis foreign ownership?” he asked. “The exemption granted to foreign international integrated logistics services (IILS) from complying with the 51% Bumi equity but requiring Malaysian-owned IILS to give up their shares and ownership control only highlights the extent of such discrimination and injustice. “Or are foreigners considered more a bigger part of the Malaysian Family than non-Bumi Malaysians,” the DAP secretary-general Lim Guan… Read more »
Political economist Firdausi Suffian of Sabah UiTM said the real issue was how Bumiputera policies had been implemented.
“I believe the Bumiputera-based policies have not been properly implemented and some people have abused the privileges. This is why the equity ownership target cannot be reached,” he told FMT.
The people who controlled the policies had created a patronage system that only benefited the rich Bumiputeras. “This system does not benefit the majority of the Bumiputeras, especially the poor ones. We need to change the system.”
