| Kerajaan BN roboh gerai Melayu di Johor Posted: 22 Oct 2011 07:02 PM PDT  Banyak betul gerai peniaga Melayu diroboh sekarang ini. Di Johor pula tu. Gerai Melayu, bukannya gerai Pendatang Asing. Beginilah nasib Melayu ketika ini, di Malaysia, di Tanah Melayu di negeri Melayu yang paling kuat memperjuangkan hak orang Melayu. Sebelum ini peniaga Melayu di Negeri Sembilan juga mengalami nasib yang sama. Kisah gerai peniaga Melayu di Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan dirobohkan di http://amkns.blogspot.com/2011/10/kerajaan-bn-roboh-gerai-dan-nak-roboh.html MBJB didakwa roboh gerai tanpa notis Harian Metro 23 Okt 2011 JOHOR BAHRU: Tindakan Majlis Bandaraya Johor Bahru (MBJB) merobohkan tiga gerai di Kampung Melayu Majidee Baru di sini, tanpa notis pemberitahuan mengundang rasa tidak puas hati beberapa pemilik gerai terbabit. Lebih mengecewakan apabila pemilik gerai itu mendakwa, MBJB merobohkan gerai mereka ketika pelanggan sedang menikmati juadah menyebabkan peniaga kerugian ribuan ringgit. Peniaga, Mohd Fuad Jais, 29, berkata, 15 penguat kuasa MBJB datang ke gerainya kira-kira pada jam 10.30 pagi dan tanpa berlengah merampas barangan perniagaan seterusnya merobohkan gerainya. "Ketika itu, beberapa pelanggan sedang makan di gerai dan saya terkejut apabila tanpa sebarang pemberitahuan, kumpulan penguat kuasa itu datang lalu merobohkan gerai saya dan dua gerai bersebelahan. "Memang saya hampa dan sedih atas perkara ini kerana gerai makan ini adalah sumber mata pencarian saya sekeluarga, kami sudah berniaga di sini hampir 23 tahun," katanya ketika ditemui di tapak bekas gerainya, semalam. Menurut Mohd Fuad, dia berasa ditindas oleh MBJB kerana tidak menerima notis pemberitahuan atau amaran terlebih dulu. Seorang lagi peniaga, Hassan Osman, 52, berkata, tindakan merobohkan gerai buah-buahan miliknya yang diusahakan sejak setahun lalu benar-benar menghampakan. "Dengan hasil menjual buah-buahan inilah yang saya gunakan untuk menampung kehidupan saya sekeluarga. "Kini saya tidak tahu di mana perlu mengadu dan apa yang perlu dilakukan, cuma saya berharap ada pihak atau individu yang tampil untuk membantu kami menyelesaikan perkara ini," katanya. http://www.hmetro.com.my/myMetro/articles/MBJBdidakwarobohgeraitanpanotis/Article/index_html  |

In the mid-80s, Malaysia still retained some independent institutions. However when the judiciary, in the form of Salleh Abbas, refused to bow to Mahathir's dictates, he took drastic steps to destroy Salleh Abbas. And henceforth the judiciary became Mahathir's creature, rather than a proudly independent institution in the British tradition. He would also go on to clip the powers of Malaysia's constitutional monarchy. Mahathir became, for all intents and purposes, Malaysia's dictator. He was surrounded by sycophants and rent-seekers. And that appeared to be exactly how Mahathir liked it, for megalomaniacs are certain they know best, and view the givers of dissenting advice as threats.
Three years after becoming Prime Minister, in 1983, Mahathir would decide to create, from scratch, a national automotive industry. This, of course, was, to put it mildly, a really bad idea. Automotive industries require captive home markets. You can only break even, assuming a competitive environment, if you could sell a million cars a year in your home market. Proton, a decade after its formation, could only manage to sell 200 thousand units a year, far short of the required million. There could never be money for genuine R&D. Proton would never meet Mahathir's fantastical dream of being a world player in the automotive market. Proton only continued to survived on the protection of government tariffs. And it's cars were merely repackaged Mistsubishis using outdated technology; as Mitsubishi was not willing to share new technology with Proton.
Not that Mahathir was bothered by his failures. Like a mad scientist, he would go off on his next experiment. In one case it was to build the tallest building in the world. Money was not an issue; he could expropriate it from Petronas under one guise or the other.None of his advisers appeared to have asked the most obvious question, which would be; why on earth would you want to do that? Instead they appeared to tell him, in toadying chorus, what a wonderful idea it was.
For Mahathir, it would mean a political crisis as well. His way of handling the Financial Crisis was to blame everybody except, of course, himself. George Soros, a currency trader, was suddenly a monstrous leech feeding off helpless Asian countries. Yet currency traders were a part of the complex global financial system. If there was an imbalance in the system, the currency traders would, in their own way, correct it. Mahathir would not admit that he had been spending money on failed grandiose schemes. It was all, Mahathir insisted, Soros's fault.
In 1999 Mahathir would move his administrative capital to Putrajaya, a fantasy city built from scratch at enormous cost. As usual, Mahathir had Petronas pay for it. For Mahathir, oil was not a finite resource for Malaysia as a nation to carefully manage, but a means to realize his own grandiose visions, often with no particular benefit to the country.
In 2004, Mahathir handed over power to Abdullah Baddawi. He was certain that he would be able to control Baddawi from behind the scenes. Baddawi, however, decided to go his own way. He cancelled projects that Mahathir had approved. He would not build Mahathir's lunatic 'crooked bridge' to Singapore. Mahathir then engaged in a 'war' with Baddawi which would end with Baddawi's ouster after the 2008 elections; though Baddawi was forced to leave office more because of BN's 2008 election debacle rather than Mahathir's attacks.
