"For evil to flourish, all that is needed is for good people to do nothing." MUGABE, MAHATHIR & KHIR TOYO


Who lives in a house like this? Soon the  world will know.  Imagine  who  would have such taste and live in such opulence?  An  American Billionaire?  A  Saudi  Prince?  Louis XIV of France ?
    
   
Have a good  look at these pictures, then scroll  to the bottom of   the page to see who owns this
 work of  Art.


















This  Mansion is in Harare and belongs to:
    
  

The President  of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe. 

While  his people starve, they do not have food,  and  die because of no medical  help... And  we are asked to help his people over and over again..  He  and his family live like this.  
His  GREED kills his people.....  
    


                               The  citizens he supposedly serves? 









The same is happening in Malaysia - the difference is a matter of degree!

Mahathir's Dodo Dynasty



A friend forwarded me an email with a selection of photos taken at a recent gala housewarming party hosted by Mukhriz Mahathir. The images were from a local gossip blog and merely revealed without commentary the Gatsbyesque garishness and pompousness of Mukhriz Mahathir's lifestyle preferences...

I decided to turn these images into a blogpost and began editing the photos. When I was ready to upload I discovered my Streamyx connection down again (third time within two weeks!) - this time it was due to a dysfunctional phone line. That happened around 3:00PM Saturday. 

It's almost 2:00PM Monday as I type this and Telekom has been unable to get my line working. Each time this happens I think of Mahathir and his privatization program and vow to do everything within my power to prevent Mukhriz Mahathir from establishing a Mahathir dynasty.

We need another dynasty of arrogant mediocrity like we need a great big hole in our wallets!

This blogpost comes to you from the same cybercafe I had to use every day for 3 years, while waiting for Telekom to provide me a land line.

Back in 1975, when I was living at 7 Pesiaran Ampang Hilir, I applied for a phone and was made to wait nearly 3 years. Telekom's monumental lack of enthusiasm over the notion of progress is perhaps a quaint and wonderful cultural trait - but I don't think it does a telco's public image any good.

Looking at the new mansion that Mukhriz Mahathir built, one can't help but speculate about how much it might have cost...

A wild guess might put the overall cost between RM15-20 million.

Apart from shooting his mouth off at every opportunity and coming across as an overconfident moron (the worst type of moron, if you ask me), what DOES Mukhriz Mahathir actually do? Does he have any marketable skills or special talents?

Is he a financial whizkid, for instance? I doubt it. Mutual friends assure me that Mukhriz Mahathir can be quite a charming and affable fellow. Maybe so, but does being "charming and affable" mean you can afford to live in a multi-million ringgit mansion?

I know his elder brother Mirzan is ranked among the richest men in Asia (read somewhere he was worth USD8.5 billion a couple of years ago)... I guess when your daddy is Mahathir or Suharto it's impossible to fail in business, no matter how hard you try.

So how do you suppose Mukhriz amassed his fortune? Surely not on his cabinet minister's salary? Does he have a couple of hit albums on the charts?

I don't have a problem with people who strike it rich by fortuitously stumbling on a cave filled with pirate treasure... or who inherited a fortune from their tycoon fathers... or who invented something the world finds useful - like the personal computer or iPhone or Google...

But Mukhriz Mahathir's dad is a politician. To be precise, he was prime minister for 22 years. He has publicly lashed out against corruption and Umno-style money politics (while privately stashing his store of nuts away in offshore hiding places, no doubt). So did daddy give Mukhriz this mansion as a birthday present, for boldly speaking out against Abdullah Badawi's lameness and making snide remarks about the seriousness of Anwar's sodomy accusations? 

Guess we'll never know... unless Marina spills the beans!


ABU!

  1. Can't see any of the Mugabe photo's, though the Mahathir one are OK.

    Those who have rewritten history inccesantly blame others, for e.g.,
    - the Nazis for WW2 in Europe
    - the "fundamentalists" for West Asian/North African insurgencies.

    In reality, many Europeans and Americans supported racial dominance by whites and participated in the atrocities. In fact, this is exactly the bee in the US Republican bonnet today, as more liberal whites are admitting. Similarly, the brutal exploitation across WANA for petroleum with the collusion of dicators, and the brutal suppresson of democarcy, is the direct cause of insurgency and exported terrorism.

    Today, the dominant global religion is fascism, the collusion of capitalists and authorities to increase inequality and tyrannise (amass wealth and power). Supported by prostitute intellectiuals led by economists, it has been running amock for the last few decades, especially since 1980s. Unlike previous religions, this ones is likely to (a) wipe out a larg proportion of humanity and (b) finish off the current version of cuvilization for centuries.

  3. Just saying the disease is major a major global epidemic, and Malaysia is anothe victim of this RELIGION of greed. Whether we surrender or not is not my emphasis here. When the shit hit the fan in a big way - famine and large-scale devastation due to weather - the overlords everywhere will find out very quickly that their amassed wealth and power mean nothing, and that they are in much greater danger than ordinary people because of popular anger.
