MAHATHIR

The Secret of the


Malaysian Success
HAJRUDIN SOMUN
“The third millennium and 21st century has not brought better human
civilization…The age of information technology, the age of knowledge has
arrived. But unfortunately man has become arrogant about his capabilities.”

“The greatness of a nation is measured by the invention and possession of


weapons that can kill more people and not by the greatness of its civilization ...
It is clear that mankind has not advanced beyond the Stone Age when might
equals right.”
“The end of the Cold war meant that capitalist were freed from having to
contain their greed as they did not fear that poor countries would become
communist.”

“Taking advantage of Telecommunication and speed of Jet travel, they devised


a concept of borderless world and globalization.”

“It is not that we reject globalization completely but we believe that if only the
capital has the freedom to cross borders, it is very dangerous.”
“Muslim countries are more prone to international conflicts between themselves
then with non-Islamic states that, in some cases are their enemies.”

“Pray to ALLAH for help but they have


forgotten that ALLAH has ordained that
He will not help to change the fate of
any community until they strive to
change their fate themselves.”
“Whenever a Muslim country tries to develop its defense capability by
Technology – some groups come up who appose those endeavors believing
that they are secular and non-Islamic and government should be overthrown.”

“Often use the name of Islam in order to legitimise their violent actions. The
governments that try to develop their countries and improve their defense
system are then too busy trying to defend themselves from such groups that
have hijacked Islam”
“So weak in spirit that we believe only that white man could rule the states.”

“The most powerful unity among Malays which contributed to their eventual
independence. This was the only weapon they had.”

“They are not hardworking i.e. they


are lazy and like to find easy way
and quick way no matter what the
end result.”

“The lack patience and they want


to be rich instantly.”
“Learn from the Chinese, remember when we sell licenses, contracts and other
things to them, their cost of doing business increases, they can still make
profits.”

“Farmers with only two acres of land and work only few months cannot earn as
much as workers who work for the whole year.”
“Broken family, many Malay parents are not good parent when compare to
other communities.”

“The main influence on our children, the generation that will succeed us is
wielded by the teachers”

“Although violence and immorality present on the internet and T.V contribute to
Moral collapse, this doesn’t explain why more Malays are involved in social ills.”
“What is wrong is not the teaching of Islam but people who interpret them in
favor of political creed.”

“I pray that among the Malays, there will emerge a leader capable of changing
certain characteristics of Malays so that they will have the culture more
compatible with success.”
“We cannot fight and enemy, we cannot identify.”

“We already know that it is entirely possible for freedom fighters struggling
against oppression to be mistaken for or labeled as terrorist by their
oppressors.”

“Armed attacks or other forms of attack against civilian must be regarded as


terrorist.”

Chairman Mao Tse Tung (China) said “You are the legitimate government, they
are illegal. They dare not come into the open. Be patient, give them time and
they will fade away.”

“All three Prime Ministers before me as their capacity as advisors to their rulers,
had criticized them time and time again but these advise merely fell on deaf
ears.”

“The powers and influence of Malay


rulers become symbolic, but
Mahathir and his government
achieved a great victory.”
“Talk of the past glories of Islam really is an admission that Islam is not glorious
now.”

“Many Muslims have adopted a strangely false sense of security: reading The
Quran will bring them Sawab even if they don't understand or practice it.”

First Islamic Financial Institution, Bank Islam


Malaysia Berhad (BIMB), started at Kuala
Lumpur in 1983.
“We are a democracy, giggles and cynical smiles not with standing. Multi ethnic
and Multi religious country like ours, with all the challenges and difficulties this
will rise to, could not survived and prospered without healthy and sustainable
democracy.”

“Malaysia does not wish to be a member of


any camp or bloc. We are aligned with no
one. We not even aligned with the non
aligned ”

“No apologist for the Third World and no


admirer of the Second World, I would
not be intimidated by the First World.”
“In Bosnia and Herzegovina, more than 100,000 Muslims were massacred in
full sight of TV viewers and for a long time nothing was done. Elsewhere,
Muslim countries are subjected to attacks and economic sanctions resulting in
many deaths from deprivation of all kinds. Because of all this there is a great
deal of bitterness and anger among Muslims.”
