The FIVE things the PM must do before he goes. After 5 years and zilch, the PM is suddenly talking to the Press h e r e about wanting to resolve so many things in the short time that he still has before he says goodbye.I didn't want to say it but it's really pathetic.
He should not try and achieve these things given such a short period because he would likely leave a mess that others would later have to clean up.
Pak Lah should read the rubbish his creation published in the NST today.
Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan blames others for why the PM did not succeed in making the reforms.
If he could not do it in the 5 years that he had, how the hell could he expect to do it in the six months or so he has left? Isn't that what Mr Kali is, in effect, telling his friend and master?But at a time when his friends and advisers would abandon him, I am confident that there is still some fire left in the Prime Minister to do 5 things before March.
If he succeeds in achieving these 5 things, he would be remembered as a savior of sorts.
1. Get the cronies and advisers out. Retire Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan from the NSTP. He has done nothing to endear Pak Lah to the people, especially to his party and in particular to the PM's predecessor. There are his other adviisers and hangers-on; they know who they are and should not wait for the axe to make them go. Abdullah's failures are due to the people who advised him and advised him wrongly. They have failed the PM and have no reason to stay.
2. Clean up the scandals of his time. There is time to at least initiate probes into the various business deals that have raised questions and doubts, starting with the Pantai Holdings and the purchase of ECM-Libra shares by his son-in-law. The latest deal involving Maybank's purchase of BII shares also involved the Finance Ministry. In between, we saw the ECM-Avenue Asset merger, the plantation merger that was supposed have given birth to a Synergy Drive but never did, the Scomi questions, the fuel price increase, and Oil-for-Food controversy. It is best for Pak Lah to explain these to us while he is still Prime Minister. Learn from Dr Mahathir: when you're down, they won't listen to you.
3. Put a closure to Islam Hadhari. Pak Lah started this idea; Pak Lah must find a good way to end it.
4. Order his son-in-law to leave the Umno Youth race. This is the biggest favour Pak Lah can do for Umno and Barisan Nasional at this very late stage. It will be a big favour he'll be doing for his beloved son-in-law. Khairy Jamaluddin has been blamed for much of Pak Lah's unpopularity and that's not a fantastic claim. Conduct a survey if Pak Lah does not want to take my word for it.
5. Apologize to the people of Johor for not being able to be with them during the Big Floods of 2006.

It doesn't pay to have advisers like Kalimullah
source : jejak pujangga
For Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, who in March will become the shortest serving Prime Minister in Malaysia's history, five years and four months is good enough.
The fact that he has to step down because he has lost support, is a different matter.
Whatever it is, his name is going down the annals of history as Malaysia's fifth Prime Minister.
And that is quite an achievement.
Unlike his predecessor, Abdullah was dependent on his advisers. And these advisers, all with their own agenda to make money or advance their own political interests, were the actual cause of his downfall.
One of Abdullah's closest adviser is Datuk Seri Kalimullah Maseerul Hassan, the Deputy Chairman of The New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd. I first came to know Kalimullah when I joined the PETS Training in NST in 1987.
I was then just 20 years old.
Lagged far behind the likes of Sabri Sharif, Fabian Dawson, R Nadeswaran, etc. He never made it to an editor in any of the Malaysian newspapers.I now believe that Kalimullah had no interest in journalism at all.
Journalism was just a stepping stone to bigger things. His interest is only in making money, huge profits, like he is making now.
Abdullah's advisers, including Kalimullah, only told him what he wanted to hear.
They hid the truth.
They deliberately did not tell him about his dwindling support.
They wanted him to remain in power so they can "make hay while the sun shines".
They had no qualms about Abdullah being ridiculed and laughed at.
They just wanted him to stay in power for as long as he could.
They knew that it wouldn't be long.
So in the last five years, they did what they could to amass wealth and push their political careers to dizzying heights.
It will be impossible for me to list all the projects that Abdullah's relatives and friends, including Kalimullah had secured over the last five years.
My aging computer. I think, does not have enough capacity to carry such a long list.
And yet, Kalimullah, in his column in the NST today (10 October 2008), had the audacity to tell Prime Minister-in-waiting Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak not to give projects to his cronies.
I know Najib. And I know he is not as gullible as his "soon-to-be" predecessor. Najib deserves a chance to undo all the wrongs that Abdullah and his cronies did.
Najib needs time to rehabilitate Barisan Nasional in time for the 13th general election in or before 2013.
The people should refrain from making wild accusations against him because someone somewhere started it for his own interest.
I can't speak on behalf of Najib. If I could, I would have this to say to Kalimullah: TAKE YOUR ADVICE AND SHOVE IT!

DESPERATE IDIOT

Kalimullah Maseerul Hassan is a DESPERATE man, and an IDIOT on top of that.
p/s I, as a Malaysian citizen who is deeply offended by what Kalimullah says about Dr.Mahathir in his NST column today, am warning Kalimullah to shut-up and leave or face having rotten eggs on your not so pleasant face!
His nasty words against Muhyiddin is also uncalled for.Jejak Pujangga says here that the Badly-Brought Up-Moron has tendered his resignation as Deputy Chairman of the NSTP group.
So, is Kalimullah's outburst in his column today not a desperate and shameless act of a running dog that has been dumped into the septic tank?
A more diplomatic Rockybru is politely requesting the SOON-TO-RETIRE PM : "Pak Lah, could you take the GARBAGE out as you leave, pleaseDefence Counsel- Kalimullah
They Were Ambitious Sons, in Their Father's Image; Now Lyle and Erik Menendez Stand Accused of Their Parents' Murder
Two brothers, Erik and Lyle Menendez were convicted for the murder of their parents. A team of defense lawyers defended them. The defense team used a strategy that seeks to exonerate the brothers by laying blame instead on the murdered parents. The defense team argued that the brothers were driven to murderous rage by the parents themselves who subjected the brothers to prolonged abuse and tyranny.
Sakmongkol wishes Kalimullah Masheerul Hassan is a lawyer. Best of all, if he defends the notorious RPK. Kali would be the equal to Leslie Abramson who defended the Menendez brothers for killing their parents.
Today he has written a piece. Defending and justifying Uncle Lah’s inability to carry out changes. Uncle lah has had 5 years but is till not able to make changes. Kali should also lay blame on the menagerie of anarchic cabinet members for failing to do manly tasks of prodding and debating with the PM. Or perhaps they too can carry out a class action against Tun Mahathir for being turned into half past six leaders? .
What was uncle’s lah main bugbear of carrying out reforms? Commissar Kali puts it as the legacy of Tun Mahathir.
Lay blame on others for your own incapacity and lacking. Uncle Lah was driven to incompetence and haplessness by a lifetime abuse by Tun Mahathir. Tun Mahathir was the parent or surrogate parent to the cabinet. Sakmongkol is surprised that Kali has not included sexual abuse from Tun Mahathir to explain uncle lah’s incompetence.
The defense would try to prove to the jurors that it was Jose and Kitty and not Lyle and Erik who should be held accountable for why the murders were committed. Abramson and Lansing would argue that the brothers had been instilled with feelings of fear over a long period of time, going back many years. The athletic, spoiled rich sons who had each at one time in their lives considered becoming professional tennis players; were going to be portrayed as victims of child abuse.
Therefore just like the defense team in the Menendez brothers case, Kali uses the same defense strategy. That Uncle Lah has been instilled with feelings of fear over a long period of time, going back many years.
The pure and more Islamic Uncle Lah is going to be portrayed as victim of Tun Mahathir’s abuse.
Wow, Kali, you are better than Shafee Abdullah. ?
kzso - well kali... you've done it again! As for najib, 5 month is a very-very-very loooooong time (especially in politics) where anything can happen in a second but if najib is fated to be the next pm of malaysia,he needs to control rosmah in a very tight lash because his downfall and chink in his armour is rosmah and his /her so called cronies.
