Comment on 1M Privilege Card: ‘Sounds good but not beneficial’ by tigeryk
· The Pentagon will say goodbye to large submarines. With the steady improvement in sonar technology, our subs are already hard-pressed to evade detection. In the future, underwater robots with laser radar or other nonacoustic sensors will make the seas virtually transparent. So how will we deploy our nukes? Hypersonic missiles launched from our own shores will reach any target in the world within 1 hour.

“Whether Mahathir really possesses such a staggering sum as US$44 billion – no one knows”.
DO WE KNOW HOW HE GOT THE $44 BILLION?
OR HOW COME NOT MENTION OF TAIB’S $15 BILLION???

Comment on Illicit outflow: Was it timber money, Taib? by Mata Kuching
The paramount thief minister of Sarawak and his family members have bank accounts in America, England, Switzerkand, Cayman Island, Monaco, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Soutrh Korea and Hongkong. The thief minister and his family also owned high ends commercial and residential properties all over the world. In short, they have never ever declared to BNM the money they took out of the country for investment overseas and or deposited in banks in foreign countries.

Comment on Umno is ‘cursed’ with Rosmah: She’ll have to take all the blame for GE13 – BUT WILL SHE? by Mata Kuching
National Service Camps and Permata Pintar program are the cash cows of Rosmah Mansor which had grossed her more than RM3 billion since their introduction and commencement. Since 2005 many mega projects and procurements involving Mindef had her name written on it. Her personal wealth alone not to include the personal wealth of Mahathir and children, Najib and his siblings’s are enough to buy a house costing RM150,000 each for each and every Malay.

Well, if Sarawak is an independent Country and taib is its PM or President, he would surely be counted as among the most corrupted and super rich. As it is now,Sarawak is just a colony of Malaya in Malaysia.

Comment on Pakatan to win with 118 seats? by Irene Kana
There are no fence sitters from the Malay, Chinese, Indian communities and from the Bumiputra voters from East Malaysia. Malaysians have made up their minds and only a change in Government after GE13 will rid our country of a corrupted administration and system. The shall be major revamp in all ministries, departments and civil service. Ineffective, incompetent and corrupted heads of government departments and agencies will be replaced. Past and present ministers who had been suspected of living beyond their means and had accumulated massive wealth shall be investigated and punished if found guilty of corruptions and power abuses.

Rare-earth mining in China comes at a heavy cost for local villages
Pollution is poisoning the farms and villages of the region that processes the precious minerals

From the air it looks like a huge lake, fed by many tributaries, but on the ground it turns out to be a murky expanse of water, in which no fish or algae can survive. The shore is coated with a black crust, so thick you can walk on it. Into this huge, 10 sq km tailings pond nearby factories discharge water loaded with chemicals used to process the 17 most sought after minerals in the world, collectively known as rare earths.
The town of Baotou, in Inner Mongolia, is the largest Chinese source of these strategic elements, essential to advanced technology, from smartphones to GPS receivers, but also to wind farms and, above all, electric cars. The minerals are mined at Bayan Obo, 120km farther north, then brought to Baotou for processing.
The concentration of rare earths in the ore is very low, so they must be separated and purified, using hydro-metallurgical techniques and acid baths. China accounts for 97% of global output of these precious substances, with two-thirds produced in Baotou.
The foul waters of the tailings pond contain all sorts of toxic chemicals, but also radioactive elements such as thorium which, if ingested, cause cancers of the pancreas and lungs, and leukaemia. “Before the factories were built, there were just fields here as far as the eye can see. In the place of this radioactive sludge, there were watermelons, aubergines and tomatoes,” says Li Guirong with a sigh.
It was in 1958 – when he was 10 – that a state-owned concern, the Baotou Iron and Steel company (Baogang), started producing rare-earth minerals. The lake appeared at that time. “To begin with we didn’t notice the pollution it was causing. How could we have known?” As secretary general of the local branch of the Communist party, he is one of the few residents who dares to speak out.
Towards the end of the 1980s, Li explains, crops in nearby villages started to fail: “Plants grew badly. They would flower all right, but sometimes there was no fruit or they were small or smelt awful.” Ten years later the villagers had to accept that vegetables simply would not grow any longer. In the village of Xinguang Sancun – much as in all those near the Baotou factories – farmers let some fields run wild and stopped planting anything but wheat and corn.
A study by the municipal environmental protection agency showed that rare-earth minerals were the source of their problems. The minerals themselves caused pollution, but also the dozens of new factories that had sprung up around the processing facilities and a fossil-fuel power station feeding Baotou’s new industrial fabric. Residents of what was now known as the “rare-earth capital of the world” were inhaling solvent vapour, particularly sulphuric acid, as well as coal dust, clearly visible in the air between houses.
Now the soil and groundwater are saturated with toxic substances. Five years ago Li had to get rid of his sick pigs, the last survivors of a collection of cows, horses, chickens and goats, killed off by the toxins.
The farmers have moved away. Most of the small brick houses in Xinguang Sancun, huddling close to one another, are going to rack and ruin. In just 10 years the population has dropped from 2,000 to 300 people.
Lu Yongqing, 56, was one of the first to go. “I couldn’t feed my family any longer,” he says. He tried his luck at Baotou, working as a mason, then carrying bricks in a factory, finally resorting to selling vegetables at local markets, with odd jobs on the side. Registered as farmers in their identity papers, the refugees from Xinguang Sancun are treated as second-class citizens and mercilessly exploited.
The farmers who have stayed on tend to gather near the mahjong hall. “I have aching legs, like many of the villagers. There’s a lot of diabetes, osteoporosis and chest problems. All the families are affected by illness,” says He Guixiang, 60. “I’ve been knocking on government doors for nearly 20 years,” she says. “To begin with I’d go every day, except Sundays.”
By maintaining the pressure, the villagers have obtained the promise of financial compensation, as yet only partly fulfilled. There has been talk of new housing, too. Neatly arranged tower blocks have gone up a few kilometres west of their homes. They were funded by compensation paid by Baogang to the local government.
But the buildings stand empty. The government is demanding that the villagers buy the right to occupy their flat, but they will not be able to pass it on to their children.
Some tried to sell waste from the pond, which still has a high rare-earth content, to reprocessing plants. The sludge fetched about $300 a tonne.
But the central government has recently deprived them of even this resource. One of their number is on trial and may incur a 10-year prison sentence.

Comment on DANGER AHEAD: All eyes on ‘kamikaze’ Dr M amid talk of racial clashes & Najib QUITTING by Mata Kuching
By getting rid of Najib as president of UMNO and PM before GE13, financiers of UMNO could easily save RM3 billion which they were told to set up a war chest to buy over 20 to 30 MPs from PR after GE13. Mahathir’s wealth estimated to be about USD44 billion is already stashed overseas and so are the ill gotten wealth of all other UMNO elites. UMNO elites would be wise to lose GE13 and conserve their ill gotten wealth to the best of their ability and avoid the backlash of the younger generations who want greater accountability and transparency in the government.
