Visit Malaysia . . . Home of Corrupt Despots & International Pariahs

Mugabe takes a holiday in Malaysia as Zimbabwe crumbles
HARARE, Jan 13 — While the people of Zimbabwe struggle with cholera, hunger, hyper-inflation and violent repression, president Robert Mugabe has decided to take a month-long holiday.
The 84-year-old leaders wife, Grace, has been accused of withdrawing £60,000 (RM330,000) from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to pay for the trip to their family home in Malaysia.

Thirty days after Mr Mugabe declared the cholera crisis over, the UN has revealed the death toll is still soaring with 1,778 confirmed dead. Many people remain weakened and impoverished by one of the worst periods of pre-harvest hunger in years and 90 per cent of pupils are not attending school.

Most teachers are now on indefinite strike, meaning a charity set up last summer to pay school fees for impoverished pupils is now using its funds to feed youngsters and their families.
One child Educated Horizon has taken under its wing is 14-year-old Chipo. She had been selling tomatoes during the day and her body to truck drivers by night for 20p (RM1) a time.


The teenager from Chivhu, 100km south-west of the capital Harare, said: “I have two young sisters who look up to me, so I have to work hard. Whatever little money I get will help.”
Educated Horizon now feeds her family to keep her off the streets. London-based volunteer Herbert Dzinotyiweyi said, “We used to have the best education system in Africa. We were the lucky ones. How is the economy going to recover without an educated population?”


Mugabe’s spokesman defended his actions. He said the president was not so much on holiday but on leave to reflect on the Zimbabwean crisis. — Malaysian Insider

Me read with this piece in utter astonishment. While every single politician has been chest-thumping about the Israeli bombardment of Palestine, this fooking slips by unnoticed.

Not to make light of the human tragedy unfolding in the Middle East, but look at the sheer horror Mugabe has inflicted upon his people. The death toll from CHOLERA is higher than what the Israeli & Hamas bombs & rockets have managed to inflict on the civilians there.

And all this while our leaders have taken the moral high ground, claiming the international community does nothing to end the human suffering in the Middle East, we . . . beautiful Malaysia (cue cheesy music & 'Truuuuly Asiaaaaaa chorus) welcomes a corrupt, murdering despot unto our shores.

The bastard even has a holiday home here la, fer fooks sake. Mugabe must truly feel at home here. Where else corruption is conducted on such a grand scale & murder is swept under the carpet?

Well, the whole country is ran by hypocrites. Malaysia Boleh! Can play host to a dictator and tyrant, but at the same time take a strong stance against the oppression of the Palestinian. Fooking unbelievable, what makes us that much better than the other hypocrite running the US? Oh, i forgot.... the cowboy is leaving in a week.

AD: holiday home here? Fooking hell man. The macha should be shot.
Declaring the cholera crisis over and the death toll is still on the rise. I think he just did that so he can go on his trip without any objections. by the time people find out what is happening and want to object, he will be in "Beautiful Malaysia" sipping sirap bandung (wanted to say margarita's but bandung sounds more malaysian-lah)

BTW, do check out me blog and the latest posting. fitnessmalaysiablog.blogspot.com

What I do not understand is that how the hell can our Malaysian Parliament passes a 10 point resolution condemning Israel's military action on Gaza and we have a dictator holidaying here in Malaysia. Where is the common logic sense? Also, this goes the same with us supporting Hamas which is on the black list for terrorism and yet we support the military junta of Myanmar that suppresses the Myanmar. This is the same government where the military leader's daughter's wedding cost $1 million and the people are suffering.

This absolutely stupendously international politics! I love it especially when holier than art thou that is our government is supposed to be better than the US and the Western countries in terms of Asian values. Goes to show we're not that far off from the zionist and WASP (white-anglo-saxon-protestant) regimes.
Religion is just a bloody excuse, really!

I remember a story once. A few years ago there was the Perdana Foundation (TDM's think thank) that held a peace conference and they invited big wigs like ex Aussie PM Geoff Hawkes and the Prince from Liechtenstein and the dude that exposed the Pentagon Papers (if you know your Watergate era stories). Guess who came?

Robert Mugabe!

Wow! Talk about peace and the fella actually showed up. Here we are talking about peace and banning WAR and this dude shows up. The story goes is that all country's dignitaries were sent an invitation to participate in the event. Mugabe's was rejected but the ambassador begged TDM to let Mugabe come less his family gets killed. TDM being TDM let Mugabe come to the event because the then Zimbabwean ambassador's was to be killed if Mugabe was not allowed to attend.

Oh and anothing thing. The other delegates avoided him like the plague during the event.

Interesting huh?

So here's the thing, how come we can go out and demonstrate against the zionist regime and their actions in Gaza but no one is lifting a finger to demonstrate against Mugabe's visit to Malaysia?

Fooking double standard, I tell you most solemnly, had Mugabe been a zionist supporter, the masses would be out in the streets telling him to go home!I tell.

Such hypocrisy! Only in Malaysia then again...United Nations!

Albertus got it spot on... Religion is only an excuse!

anfield devotee said...

Slacker: We all know how religion is twisted & manipulated to suit the ends of this wicked politicians.

That don't make it religion's fault . . . if that's what yer insuniating.

theALBERTUS said...

There used to be quote by Karl Marx when he said "religion is an opiate of the masses."

I wonder what the quote means.

anfield devotee said...

Albertus: You being sarcastic or what. You know precisely what it means.

What are yer views on that as a practising Catholic?
