Mahathir: Berubah jika mahu BN menang PRU ke-13 - mStar Online

Ahad Januari 18, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR: Bekas Perdana Menteri, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad berkata Barisan Nasional (BN) perlu melakukan perubahan jika parti itu jika ingin memastikan kejayaan dicapai dalam pilihan raya akan datang.

Menurutnya kekalahan BN di tangan PAS dalam pilihan raya kecil Kuala Terengganu semalam adalah berpunca daripada kebencian rakyat terhadap kepimpinan parti itu.

"Semua orang tak suka kepada Pak Lah (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) dan calon pilihannya.

"Sebahagian daripada sebab mereka tidak meyokong (BN) ialah kerana mereka tidak suka kepada calonnya," katanya dalam sidang media selepas merasmikan program Kempen Selamatkan Rakyat Palestin anjuran Gabungan Badan Bukan Kerajaan Malaysia Menentang Penindasan Rakyat Palestin di sini hari ini.

Jelas beliau lagi pada dasarnya kedua-dua parti iaitu BN dan PAS mempunyai masalah mereka yang tersendiri.

"Namun masalah BN ini ialah meletakkan calon yang tidak disukai oleh orang ramai semata-mata kerana dia ialah calon Pak Lah.

"Mereka juga tidak suka kepada PAS dan mereka terpaksa membuat pilihan dan saya fikir mereka seperti pilihan raya umum Mac 2008, pilihan mereka ialah untuk menolak BN kerana mereka tidak suka kepada kepimpinan BN lebih daripada mereka tidak suka kepada parti-parti lawan," katanya.

Beliau berkata antara langkah yang wajar dilakukan BN bagi mengembalikan sokongan rakyat ialah dengan menyingkirkan pemimpin yang tidak diterima oleh rakyat dan terlibat dengan rasuah.

"Tapi apa yang kita lihat pemimpin yang tidak dipercayai serta terlibat dengan rasuah, mereka masih dipilih sebagai calon dalam pemilihan Umno.

"Jika mereka dipilih sebagai calon dan menang, dan selepas menang mereka menjadi anggota pentadbiran kerajaan, BN akan tewas dalam pilihan raya ke-13... kalau nak menang, singkir dan jangan pilih mereka," katanya.

Bagaimanapun menurut bekas Presiden Umno itu, jika golongan pemimpin yang terlibat dengan rasuah itu masih dipilih sebagai pemimpin Umno, mereka tidak seharusnya dipilih untuk menyertai Kabinet.

Ditanya sama ada kekalahan BN di Kuala Terengganu akan memberi cabaran dan kesan terhadap pentadbiran Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak yang akan mengambil alih kepimpinan kerajaan daripada Abdullah Mac ini, beliau berkata Najib tidak akan dipersalahkan dalam kekalahan tersebut.

"Kekalahan di Kuala Terengganu bukan disebabkan Najib, ini sebab Pak Lah...Najib tak akan dipersalahkan.

"Tapi jika Najib terus memilih pemimpin yang rasuah, saya fikir beliau juga akan tewas dalam pilihan raya nanti," katanya.

Why Are Jews So Powerful?

http://www.masada2000.org/Powerful-Jews.html

There are only 14 million Jews in the world; seven million in the Americas , five million in Asia, two million in Europe and 100,000 in Africa . For every single Jew in the world there are 100 Muslims. Yet, Jews are more than a hundred times more powerful than all the Muslims put together. Ever wondered why?

Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish. Albert Einstein, the most influential scientist of all time and TIME magazine's 'Person of the Century', was a Jew. Sigmund Freud -- id, ego, superego -- the father of psychoanalysis was a Jew. So were Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman.

Here are a few other Jews whose intellectual output has enriched the whole humanity: Benjamin Rubin gave humanity the vaccinating needle. Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. Alert Sabin developed the improved live polio vaccine. Gertrude Elion gave us a leukaemia fighting drug. Baruch Blumberg developed the vaccination for Hepatitis B. Paul Ehrlich discovered a treatment for syphilis (a sexually transmitted disease). Elie Metchnikoff won a Nobel Prize in infectious diseases.

Bernard Katz won a Nobel Prize in neuromuscular transmission. Andrew Schally won a Nobel in endocrinology (disorders of the endocrine system; diabetes, hyperthyroidism). Aaron Beck founded Cognitive Therapy (psychotherapy to treat mental disorders, depression and phobias). Gregory Pincus developed the first oral contraceptive pill. George Wald won a Nobel for furthering our understanding of the human eye. Stanley Cohen won a Nobel in embryology (study of embryos and their development). Willem Kolff came up with the kidney dialysis machine.

Over the past 105 years, 14 million Jews have won 15-dozen Nobel Prizes while only three Nobel Prizes have been won by 1.4 billion Muslims (other than Peace Prizes).

Why are Jews so powerful? Stanley Mezor invented the first micro-processing chip. Leo Szilard developed the first nuclear chain reactor. Peter Schultz, optical fibre cable; Charles Adler, traffic lights; Benno Strauss, Stainless steel; Isador Kisee, sound movies; Emile Berliner, telephone microphone and Charles Ginsburg, videotape recorder.

Famous financiers in the business world who belong to Jewish faith include Ralph Lauren (Polo), Levis Strauss (Levi's Jeans), Howard Schultz (Starbuck's), Sergey Brin (Google), Michael Dell (Dell Computers), Larry Ellison (Oracle), Donna Karan (DKNY), Irv Robbins (Baskins & Robbins) and Bill Rosenberg (Dunkin Donuts).

Richard Levin, President of Yale University, is a Jew. So are Henry Kissinger (American secretary of state), Alan Greenspan (fed chairman under Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush), Joseph Lieberman, Maxim Litvinov (USSR foreign Minister), David Marshal (Singapore's first chief minister), Issac Isaacs (governor-general of Australia), Benjamin Disraeli (British statesman and author), Yevgeny Primakov (Russian PM), Barry Gold water, Jorge Sampaio (president of Portugal), John Deutsch (CIA director), Herb Gray (Canadian deputy PM), Pierre Mendes (French PM), Michael Howard (British home secretary) and Robert Rubin (American secretary of treasury).

In the media, famous Jews include Wolf Blitzer ( CNN ), Barbara Walters (ABC News), Eugene Meyer ( Washington Post ), Henry Grunwald (editor-in-chief Time), Katherine Graham (publisher of The Washington Post ), Joseph Lelyyeld (Executive editor, The New York Times), and Max Frankel (New York Times).

At the Olympics, Mark Spitz set a record of sorts by wining seven gold medals. Lenny Krayzelburg is a three-time Olympic gold medalist. Spitz, Krayzelburg and Boris Becker are all Jewish.

Did you know that Harrison Ford, George Burns, Tony Curtis, Charles Bronson, Sandra Bullock, Billy Crystal, Paul Newman, Peter Sellers, Dustin Hoffman, Michael Douglas, Ben Kingsley, Kirk Douglas, Cary Grant, William Shatner, Jerry Lewis and Peter Falk are all Jewish? As a matter of fact, Hollywood itself was founded by a Jew. Among directors and producers, Steven Spielberg, Mel Brooks, Oliver Stone, Aaron Spelling (Beverly Hills 90210), Neil Simon (The Odd Couple), Andrew Vaina (Rambo 1/2/3), Michael Man (Starsky and Hutch), Milos Forman (One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest), Douglas Fairbanks (The thief of Baghdad) and Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) are all Jewish.

To be certain, Washington is the capital that matters and in Washington the lobby that matters is The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. Washington knows that if PM Ehud Olmert were to discover that the earth is flat, AIPAC will make the 109th Congress pass a resolution congratulating Olmert on his discovery.

William James Sidis, with an IQ of 250-300, is the brightest human who ever existed. Guess what faith did he belong to?

So, why are Jews so powerful? Answer: Education.
