Cili padi. Turned out these four didn't look quite enough so I added another three.

Sliced green cili padi.

CAUTION:
The bird's eye chili is small but packs quite a lot of heat. At one time it was even listed as the hottest chili in the Guinness Book of World Records but other hotter varieties of chili have since been identified. It measures around 50,000-100,000 Scoville units which is at the lower end of the range for the hotter Habanero chili.

Sliced clili padi with sliced lime leaf shoots, sliced bunga kantan, sliced white and sliced green belimbing buluh.

Looks like two stalks of lemongrass are going to be sufficient.

Over-ripe lemons have the most juice.

Udang kertas kering. Other ingredients you gonna need are Thai fish sauce, anchovy sauce/essence (budu), a tablespoon of sugar and a good mixing of all the ingredients in a sufficiently large mixing bowl.

This is the finished product ~ I've added sliced button mushrooms (raw), kerepek ketam as well as the Thai fish sauce, lemon juice and budu.

MCLM Kuala Lumpur Public Forum December 21 2010

Sreekant Pillai
The Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) Tuesday named human rights lawyer Sreekant Pillai (above) as the second candidate from its movement to contest in the next general election.

The son of the late veteran journalist of M.G.G. Pillai said he was chosen to be independent because "the current Government has nothing more it can offer to the people and the existing parties are not doing what the rakyat wants."

"My father taught me that there is nothing wrong in being idealistic, to always stand for what you believe in and always search for the truth. That is exactly what I am doing now," Sreekant, 37, who is representing the Selangor government in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest, said in a statement.

An umbrella body of student groups has pledged to be deployed as candidates to Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement (MCLM) in the next general election. Soladariti Mahasiswa Malaysia chairman Shazni Munir Mohd Ithnin said the student movement was willing to work together with MCLM as both shared similar principles and objectives.

POLITICAL ECONOMY: How I'd Run the Nation

Amirah Ameer Ali asks:

1) How can we stop having race-based political parties?

2) How can we improve our education system?

3) And economy?

4) How can Malaysians be united?

What's your opinion?

ANSWERS
1) Provide alternatives such as The National Justice Party (aka PKR) and a Green Party and others that will appeal to Malaysians of all ethnic ancestries. See:
Green Alliance of Malaysia

2) Abolish SJK (C) and SJK (T) schools. Teach students how to learn and how to think, less on the "data" of learning, more on the technique. Provide more on learning theory, the joy of discovery, the thrill of finding out for yourself. Tony Buzan's Mind Maps, de Bono's Six Thinking Hats. Benchmark against the best. What can we learn from the Finnish, Canadian and New Zealand Education Systems?
PISA (Student Assessment)
Education in Finland
Finnish education system rocks - Why?
Education in Canada
Education in New Zealand

3) Spend less on the military. Abolish the Navy and Air Force. Have a Coast Guard instead. Piracy and smuggling are big issues facing national security. When was the last time the TUDM plane was used in combat against a foreign aggressor? A TLDM ship? When was the last time Malaysia fought a war? Why are we wasting so much money on nonsense? Why are we not spending money on real issues facing our country? Why buy submarines that can't dive?

As for R&D spending: Increase R&D spending to 4%. Spend money on nuclear energy like fusion and fission. I tend to think of fission as a stop-gap measure until we get fusion going.

Spend more on infrastructure. Fast free broadband, fast ERL-type trains, or double-storey TGV-like trains. LRT for Putrajaya. Extend the ERL from KLIA MTB (Main Terminal Building) to LCCT, Enstek, Seremban and then onto Singapore (the detailed engineering drawings have already been completed and submitted to govt for approval, govt is still pussy-footing around, possibly trying to decide which crony to award the contracts to).

4) Unity is built on understanding and trust, not intolerance, indifference, fear and ignorance. Understanding comes with knowledge and learning, not ignorance. When was the last time Malaysians were taught the customs and culture of the Chinese and Indians? Why are Malaysians not taught how to fold a banana leaf after eating at an Indian banana leaf restaurant? How come so many of us don't even know it makes a difference? Why is it so difficult for a Malay to learn Chinese or Tamil in school? Or a Chinese Arabic? Or an Indian Mandarin? or any Malaysian Spanish or French or German?

I hope the above suffices to initiate a point of departure for discussion.

POLITICAL ECONOMY: Get Rid of Oil Subsidies

Because domestic oil prices are kept artificially low by government subsidies, rising oil prices mean the Malaysian Government has to pay out more in the form of these subsidies.

If we get rid of subsidies, as we well ought to (but gradually, so as not to send shock waves throughout the economy), well, we can use that money to build more:

• schools, colleges and universities (free education to PhD level for all who qualify, regardless of ethnicity or religion or anak siapa/Dato' mana). A poor education system, of which the BN government has no intention of repairing, has made, and will continue to make Malaysia uncompetitive. Malaysia has lost the golden years when both India and China were closed economies, and were therefore not competitors, by not optimising its human resource, who were either underutilised or whose skills were taken up by competitive economies, like Singapore, Canada and Australia, because of its backward-looking, ethnocentric 'bumiputra policy';

• clinics, hospitals (do you know Malaysia has not a single dental hospital?);

• really decent internet infrastructure. Aren't you fed-up with TM's "best effort" nonsense? How about UniFi at ten times the speed and one tenth the cost?;

• really decent public transport systems (more integrated stations with buildings like Kerinchi and UOA Bangsar), more stations in Klang Valley, link Klang with Seremban via Teluk Panglima Garang, KLIA and Enstek via ERL; build 400 km/h MagLev system from Seremban to Woodlands in Singapore; revive Putrajaya LRT system, something PutraJaya Holdings CEO Azlan Abdul Karim has been clamouring for for years (but nobody was listening); a decent railway system for Kota Kinabalu and Sabah;

• make it a statutory requirement that all Government buildings be GBI-certified. There is no reason why we should not deserve or enjoy a better Quality of Living.

OR, we can

• keep an already bloated civil service that is inefficient, corrupt and wasteful afloat. We have not even begun to calculate the liabilities due to these morons for their pensions when they do retire. There appears to be no way to pay those bills. We have past peak oil, and will run out of oil by or before 2018. Oil money used to pay for all the wastage for the past 30 years. Mahathir was no genius. Any idiot can spend oil money, just ask any Arab in Saudi or the UAE...

• and keep spending on dubious projects (submarines that can't dive comes to mind) to feed fat cat political proxies and cronies. A substantial portion of the nation's wealth has been stolen by BN politicians, and currently resides overseas in Private Bank accounts. Corruption is rife, and now the cost of corruption is finally starting to show. Now the poor pay directly for BN's blatant looting.

It all depends on who you vote for at the next General Election, you see.

"The world suffers a lot. Not because of the violence of bad people, but because of the silence of good people" - Napoleon Bonaparte

In the long term, the Ringgit will be substantially weaker than what it is today, and there will be no Federal Reserve, or EU to bail them out when Malaysian Government debt will be treated as trash, in as much as Greek Sovereign debt is treated today.

HEALTHCARE: Dentistry in Malaysia

Malaysians continue to give less importance to oral health than general health. About 90 per cent of Malaysian adults have dental caries, while 75 per cent of children below 16 years of age and 50 per cent of those below 12 years also have dental caries.

This can be attributed to a lackadaisical attitude among Malaysians as far as oral health is concerned. All parties must take an active interest in dental care and not just leave it to the experts, such as dental surgeons. The burden of oral infection and conditions should not be placed entirely on our dental surgeons and the Government. It takes collaborative effort to continue to improving the oral health of Malaysians.

The 2010 National Oral Health Plan (NOHP) was developed in 2000 with the objective of achieving optimum oral health among Malaysians by 2010. The focus was on oral conditions of public health significance. The four oral conditions identified were dental caries, periodontal conditions, oral malignancies and dental injuries.

In developing the Oral Health Goals for 2010, targets set are not merely directed towards disease but also focus on health. To ensure targets set are realistic, reference was made to data from national epidemiological surveys, small-scale local studies as well as the Dental Subsystem under the Health Management Information System (HMIS) of the Ministry of Health. Ten years was considered a suitable time frame for the implementation of the strategies towards achievement of the goals.

In defending the progress made my his Ministry in the past 10 years, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the oral health of Malaysians has improved over the years.

"Today, more than 40 per cent of our 16-year-old schoolchildren [*This figure is contradictory to the figure in the second statement of this article - should be 24%, not 40%*] have never experienced dental caries in their permanent dentition as compared to the early 1970's when only about 15 per cent were free of the problem," he said.

He hoped that dental professionals and the dental industry could work hand-in-hand with the government to empower young Malaysians to be more responsible for their own health. The local dental fraternity must start thinking about the future direction of the dental system and education, Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said. He said this was to meet the government's target of one dentist for every 4,000 people in another seven years, compared to the ratio of 1:7,936 currently.

"There are 3,567 registered dental practitioners in the country. We must bear in mind that a large portion of our adult population has yet to be adequately covered by the public sector and much ground still needs to be covered in elevating the oral health status of the population."

Liow said the introduction of the three-year compulsory government service for dentists in 2005 has increased the percentage of dentists working in the public sector from less than 45 per cent to 51.5 per cent.

"With the 12th dental school that is yet to be approved by the ministry, the number of graduates will also be increased from around 200 last year to 665 per annum by 2017. In tandem with that, we are and will be struggling to meet our needs for well-qualified and experienced dental teachers and specialists, not only to teach, but also to do research and provide better quality service," he added.

Malaysia's performance in health has been exemplary and can be used as a benchmark by other developing countries, Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.

He said the salient features of Malaysia's achievements in health were universal access to a comprehensive public health sector, safety net for catastrophic expenditure for chronic illnesses, minimal or no co-payments for services in the public system and health services focused on health promotion and disease prevention with responsive private sector health system.

"Consequently, there have been significant improvements in the health status of our population with reduction in morbidity and mortality and an increased life expectancy," he said. However, he said, the system of financing the present healthcare system could not be sustained because of the many challenges.

The main challenges were a growing public-private dichotomy, relative operational inefficiency between the two sectors, variations in practice and standard of care, rising healthcare cost and changing patterns of health expenditure. The Health Ministry is now working towards reform in the healthcare system where the role of the private sector would be significantly enhanced, he said.

Four levels of policy changes were required to transform the healthcare system, some of which were radical with huge implications, he said, adding that the details are still being worked out and implementation would be done in phases.

"The public will be informed accordingly, but what I would like to stress right now is for all Malaysians to be aware that change is imminent and our workforce must develop appropriate skills to embrace, facilitate and implement that change," he added.

Muhyiddin also urged those in the dental profession to familiarise themselves with the Government Transformation Plan (GTP) roadmap and work in tandem with the government to ensure the success of the proposed healthcare reform.

In the context of the dental profession and practice, there is a need for participation by the dental industry to innovate, develop and manufacture dental services and materials of exceptional quality to compete with the international market.

In this context, I am pleased to be associated with Stellar Dent, the first Malaysian manufacturer of dental chairs, portable dental chairs and portable dental units. Similarly, with Novella Dental Tech which is the first Malaysian manufacturer of dental implants ~ the Novella Ultima single-piece dental implant which is suitable for the flapless, immediate-loading technique. We are making headway to export both these products.

In the pipeline are plans to produce dental materials in Malaysia for the Malaysian and export markets. Details of this and other innovative projects will be announced later.

Since 2005, our MalaysiaDentist.com dental tourism portal has been a one-stop centre to access all the relevant information on dental care in Malaysia. It is a gateway to world-class dental treatment in Malaysia, enabling visitors to plan, arrange and manage their complete treatment and holiday in Malaysia from the comfort of their own homes. Together with our Official Travel Agent, Orient Escape Travel Sdn Bhd, we will take care of all your dental surgery, oral surgery, specialist dental care, visa and travel needs.

"In the health sector, we expect greater revenue to be generated by more aggressive participation in the healthcare travel industry, manufacturing of medical devices and pharmaceuticals," Muhyiddin said.

Looks like our business plans are in line with the government's vision and policies.

POLITICAL ECONOMY: Why I am Against Subsidies

I am against subsidies because people should learn that they need to pay for the actual cost of things and get away from the handout, subsidy mentality that is currently so pervasive in Malaysian society.

Once people accept this, we will have less consumerism and materialism in our society because people will learn to live to fulfill their needs, and not their wants. They will learn to live within their means.

Petrol Subsidies
When we have subsidies, money is taken from all tax-payers to subsidize those who consume the goods that are subsidized. It is grossly unfair that tax-payers who use public transport to be subsidizing all those fat cats, Datuks, Tan Sris, and aristocrats in their Mercedes, BMWs, Brabus, Porsches, Roll-Royces, Bentleys and what not. Those who drive luxury cars should be able to afford to maintain them and that includes buying petrol at market prices.

Kalau tak mampu, jangan nak berlagak macam boleh mampu.

Sugar Subsidies
As a nation, we already consume too much sugar. The incidence of dental caries, obesity, diabetes, renal failure is on the rise and constitute a demographic and social time bomb for our country. There is absolutely no nutritional reason why we should drink canned fizzy drinks when all that our bodies need is potable water. One reason why we consume too much sugar is condensed milk. With its high sugar content, condensed milk lasts longer than fresh milk and that is why its use is so prevalent in mamak stalls, in teh tarik, and etc. Reducing subsidies on sugar and implementing a "sin tax" on condensed milk is an idea we should consider to address this issue.

Flour & Rice Subsidies
Together with sugar, salt, milk and salt, flour and rice constitute the Six Deadly White Sins of nutrition. If you need to subsidize, subsidize unpolished brown rice and wholemeal flour (such as attar flour for making chapati). These have the virtue of being nutritious. In Korea, only unpolished rice is sold and as a country, they have the lowest incidence of bowel cancer in the world. This will change the eating habits of Malaysians for the better. People may grumble in the beginning but when they reach 80 and have not been diagnosed with bowel cancer while their white-rice- and white-flour-eating friends have long been buried, they will thank you in their heart.

While milk is recommended for growing children below 18, once people have reached their full height, there is no nutritional reason why we should be drinking milk. Cow's milk is designed by nature to be drunk by calves, not baby or adult humans. There are other sources of calcium for adult females to partake to avoid osteoporosis. Eating prawns together with their shells, as I do, is one of them. The evils of a high sodium diet are well known and need not be elaborated on here.

Conclusion
Tell me why the rest of the tax-payers need to subsidize the top 10% richest people in our country?

"Quando dou comida aos pobres chamam-me de santo. Quando pergunto por que eles são pobres chamam-me de comunista."


What Can Subsidy Money Be Used for Instead?

Wages can only be increased in tandem with an increase in the education level of our workforce.

If you look at low-production-cost countries, they are where they are because they have a large population, with low education levels. These countries produce commodity items with low value-add. They survive on razor-thin margins based on high volumes of production.

On the other end of the spectrum, we have the high-production-cost countries which produce high value-add products. They can produce high value-add products because their workforce are at a higher level of education and can produce Intellectual Property. I'm not just talking about knowledge workers in the IT industry, but about their workforce as a whole. For this, they are paid higher wages. The products they produce costs more as a consequence of this and other higher-cost factors of production.

The way forward for Malaysia, to get out of the poverty trap, is to have a higher educated population. The government should spend more on education and less on military spending. Get rid of the Navy and Marine Police and replace it with a Coast Guard that combines search and rescue missions with border controls (keeping out illegal immigrants and smugglers). Give them fast patrol boats and helicopters and reconnaissance aircraft ~ not submarines that can't dive and ocean-going ships.

There is no bogeyman ~ the war is on poverty and corruption, the enemy within.

I advocate free education for all Malaysians (note I did not include Indon, Rohinga and Filipino illegal immigrants), irrespective of ethnic background, to the level of their ability. If they are good enough to get a place, they are good enough to be given free tuition fees, even up to PhD level.

The questions we face now are:
• What do we do with these illegal immigrants? Do we kick them out? Will their country of origin accept them?
• What do we do with their Malaysian-born children?

It is too easy to say let's kick them out, they are leeches on the rest of us, the "real" Malaysians.

The long-term solution, albeit unpopular and expensive, is to assimilate them and invest in their education, health and welfare as we do for all Malaysians. Human resource is something every government has a moral and civic duty to invest in. When we invest in the education of immigrants, we invest in our future as they are our human resource. When we invest in the healthcare of immigrants, we also invest in our healthcare, because we prevent our whole population from getting communicable diseases.

When we deny immigrants medical treatment for conjunctivitis, tuberculosis, dengue, malaria, influenza, STD, and etc, we are spreading these diseases to the rest of the population.

After all, national borders are an abstract construct and political nicety. It is only an imaginary line drawn on the sands of time.

So, some of the real questions facing us are:
• By what criteria do we decide which illegals to kick out and which to assimilate?
• How are going to pay for the education, health and welfare of those we decide to assimilate?
• How do we do this without opening the floodgates to more illegal immigrants?
• What about legal immigrants? Are we going to discriminate against them because they are of the wrong religion? Are we going to discriminate against foreign wives because they are Shia?

POLITICAL ECONOMY: The Road Ahead for Sabah

Illegal Immigrant Issue

I have done a little research to find out where are the possible areas in the Philippines and Indonesia that these illegal immigrants are coming from. Of course, southern Mindanao and the islands of Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Mapun and the seven Turtle Islands (of Boan, Lihiman, Langaan, Great Bakkungan, Taganak, Baguan and one nameless island) as well as Palawan and Balabac first come to mind.

As for Indonesia, besides Kalimantan, I suspect Natuna and Anambas and islands of the Riau archipelago.

I have posted links to write-ups of these places on my FB wall. Would appreciate some feedback in terms of evidence so that we get our facts right to use as ammunition for the next General Elections. Many thanks!

Together, we achieve more with less.

Democracy is government by the people, for the people.

Oligarchy is government by the few, for them and their cronies only.

If we choose democracy, then we must get it clear in our heads that people come in all shapes and sizes and also with every opinion under the sun. To have a one-size-fits-all policy that pleases everyone is impossible. To have a popular policy that pleases most of the people is also not the best solution. This is because, by their nature, popular policies are short-term and well, frankly, simply vote-buying tactics.


Sustainable Development

What voters and politicians both need to understand is that we need sustainable policies for the long-term, not just with five-year horizons. Just as we do not inherit this Earth from our ancestors but borrow it from our grandchildren, we have to make difficult, even painful, choices for the sake of our sons, daughters and their grandchildren.

Saying "No!" to a coal-fired power plant is one such choice. The price to pay is perhaps power blackouts in the short-term, like what SESB and TNB are saying. It may mean less industrial development and less blue-collar jobs.


The Road Ahead and Way Forward

What we need to do is have a different economic model, one not based on industry but on agriculture and eco-tourism, just like New Zealand. With a population similar to Sabah, long distance from global markets, New Zealand made the choice to not industrialize but to turn its pristine natural beauty into its economic assets. No tourist coming back from New Zealand is not impressed. Everyone has enjoyed a good beef steak or lamb chop from NZ farms (the non-vegetarians among us, that is).

By contrast, why is the local beef or kerbau farming industry so far behind by comparison to New Zealand? I personally find kerbau meat tastier and more tender than beef. Why are we not exploiting kerbau farming as a business activity?

We must focus on making these difficult choices in planning the road ahead. Oil and gas will not last forever. Protesting about petrol subsidy removal is really, when you look at the big picture, just a small side issue.


Questions to Which We Must Find Solutions

What we really need to focus on are issues like:

• How best to develop eco-tourism in Sabah?
• How best to maintain security in Sabah so that we don't get Abu Sayyaf terrorists kidnapping people from island resorts like Sipadan, Mabul and the Turtle Islands Marine Park?
• How best to ensure food security in Sabah?
• Sugar prices are high. Can we grow sugarcane in Sabah? Why not?
• Why is there no agricultural college in Sabah?
• Why are we not commercializing our unique agricultural products like beras wangi, beras hitam, beras merah, toohau, latuk, pisang tembaga, durian merah, Babagon pineapples?
• Why is there no scientific research or agricultural promotion to protect these biodiversity and grow them on a wider scale?
• Are we conducting sustainable fishery or just marine harvesting?
• What are we doing about dynamite fishing?
• Why are we allowing state agencies like SESB destroy our marine parks?
• What sustainable power-generating technologies can we implement now? Mini-hydro? in the medium term? in the long term?

I am sure you would be pleased to add your own to this growing list of questions...
