2. To Ben Shlomo
Why Malaysia is such a laughing talk around the world? Well, I agree with you. I am sure Malaysia is not credible enough to even sit at the UN security council. I heard that Malaysia oppress the Jews and you guys have moved to other parts of the world. Shame on Malaysia… I would like to state that Malaysia will work towards anti Israeli establishments at the UN security council. Recently, I heard of news that Malaysia has been oppressing the ethnic Indian and Chinese minority. What went wrong with that country? Thanks.

3. UNSC to expand
Why not? They can't make any decisions with the current SC, so they might as well have 22. As a matter of fact, they should have all the countries (except Israel, of course). That would be funnier than a circus.

6. @ 2 Krish, India Agreed- malaysia has no CHARACTER
Malaysia is, quite incorrectly I'm afraid, always adduced as an example of a progressive, forward-looking, prosperous Muslim state.But the prosperity they claim is by robbing the poor etnic minority and 70 % of malay simpletons. In fact its prosperity would be considerably diminished but for its Chinese and Hindu population. All Malays are required to be counted as Muslims, and all Muslims benefit from a disguised jizyah tax on non-Muslims which is called the "Bumiputra" or "Sons of the Soil" system or “ Pro Malay Positive Discrimination to Reach Fairness “. Most Westerners are unacquainted with the Pro - "Bumiputra." Policy. But anyone living in Malaysia who is unaware of the "Bumiputra" system has not yet sunk beneath the surface of Malaysian life. Although the word means "sons of the soil," it is not the indigenous Malaysian tribes that benefit from the "Bumiputra" policy, but Malay Muslims alone.

As for the Jews of Malaysia, we all moved out for good. Malaysias Type of iIslam oppressed Jews of the diaspora ,our land taken away, our business destroyed. So we no longer stay in Malaysia but we live in Singapore.Singapore a nation that was one time oppressed by Malaysia is really a nation of great history and freedom that has given a fair and equitable space for t Jews to stay, work, study and bring up the jewery of Singapore. These has been possible because the PAP Govt of Singapore is a Merit based Govt unlike the Barisan National of Malaysia which is Islamic Nation disguised as Moderate Islamic Nation but merely a Racial Discriminatory System. The Ethnic Chinese and Indian been abused to the worst by the Barisan National Govt in West Malaysia. Mr. Ahmed Badawi the current PM has been on the chair for only three years but could not do much to end the System Of Pro Positive Discrimination to reach fairness.Mr. Ahmed Badawi should learn how to be a fair Govt from The Prime Minister of Singapore. Mr. Lee Hsein long and the MM. Mr Lee Kwan Yew. As such Malaysian should look at the team of the PAP cabinet of Singapore as example and bench mark- A Govt for the People with the People in the Heart – and that is what I call Prosperity Govt of the People.

Now about Malaysia- According to this "Bumiputra" idea, all economic undertakings, all examples of entrepreneurial flair, must have Muslim Malays as their full partners. Two Chinese who wish to open, for example, a computer consulting company, or an architectural firm, are required to take on a Muslim Malay (but not a Hindu, nor another Chinese) as a full partner, with an equal financial stake -- even though he need not contribute a thing. This is simply a way to ensure that the Muslims can continue to live on the backs of non-Muslims, which is part of the traditional status of dhimmi, including the payment of the jizya (and kharaj, or land-tax). The real "Sons of the Soil" -- the real indigenous tribes of Malaysia -- in fact are almost entirely Christian, where they are not pagan. These tribes of course, benefit not at all from the Bumiputra system. Some indication of the nature of Muslim dreams in Malaysia can be gauged from the speech of Mahathir Mohammed, the former "moderate" president of the country. In his notorious address several years ago to assembled heads of Muslim states, he seemed to be advocating "reform" when he called for the harnessing of science and technology -- not in order to investigate the structure of DNA, or the Eight-Fold Path, or De Sitter space, or how to preserve biodiversity in both Wilsonian (Woodrow and E.O.) senses. No, no, what he had in mind, and what he called for, was a Muslim "reform" that would permit Muslim countries to catch up with the West almost entirely in one area and one area alone -- weapons technology. For that he was wildly applauded. This tells us a lot about him, and about the country which he ran, as does the Bumiputra system.

If Malaysia, that supposedly "advanced" and "tolerant" Muslim state, brimful of Western computer companies having their components made or put together there, imposes a disguised tax on non-Muslims, and if the best it can do by way of "moderate" Muslim is Mohammad Matathir, what does that tell us about the state of this “advancement” and “tolerance”? For Malaysia -- Muslim-ruled Malaysia -- also displays contempt for the free exercise of the individual conscience. In Islam, once a Muslim, you are seldom allowed out. You are akin to a soldier in the Army of Islam. Changing your faith, or abandoning it, is equivalent to deserting from that army. And that is why, when it comes to Muslims and apostasy -- All Dare Call It Treason. So don't try to become a non-Muslim if you are born into Islam; keep it to yourself. And if you are a famous non-Muslim, such as the famous mountaineer M. Moorthy, a Hindu, your relatives may discover that unbeknownst to themm, the state will after your death claim that you are a Muslim and insist on giving you a Muslim buerial. And this posthumous "islamization" will take place despite the protests of friends and family, possibly the result either of your fame (which must be claimed for Islam) or your property (to be inherited now by that relative who did convert to Islam and who apparently swears up and down that just before his death, so did the prominent relative in question. Malaysia is well-endowed with natural resources, and it would be hard to be poor with such resources. Still, resource-poor but largely Infdiel Singapore has run economic rings around Malaysia ever since they bloodily parted ways. And all those manufacturing jobs which made Malaysia a center for Western companies -- assembly-lines for computers, that sort of thing -- will likely move China-wards, where labor costs are lower, and workers more skilled. China -- Infidel China -- offers a much better place for those Western businessmen who are currently in Malaysia, but may find that they no longer wish to fund, however indirectly, the jihad being waged worldwide by Muslim economies and Muslim peoples. Meanwhile, the real talent will move to Singapore, which has no natural resources but has a talented and motivated citizenry that keeps careful tabs, through a whole series of legal measures

Meanwhile, Badawi follows Mahathir, and Malaysians keep thinking that their economy shows what can be done by a Muslim country, not what can be done by a Muslim-ruled country that is half-populated by energetic non-Muslims, who work not only for themselves, but for the Muslim half of the population. Meanwhile, in Malaysia, keep on tapping those rubber-trees, and supplying those spices. They will last, long after the computer companies have packed up and moved to Singapore , China or to India. And remember to keep supplying that special wood for what trade remains in those Penang lawyers that S. J. Perelman was so fond of mentioning. Now Malaysia is in hot soup after the Election. The So called Barisan national Govt ( The Ruling Col) although retain 2/3 majority in the parliament, neverthe less will suffer a loss of support day by day . This is simply because,sin of the fathers will visit an be their own horror. Islam in Malaysia has oppressed the ethnic Indian and Chiness who are the actual builders of Malaysia.

11. Malaysia has no Credibility to seek fairness at the ....

Yitzak Ben Shlomo   (03.22.08)
12. expansion
The president wants to enlarge the security councel WHY ?? Not enough arab representitive to condemn Israel.?? More people need fantastic salary's??? Will these extra have conditions of voting??Is rasialism on the agenda??Typical U N wastage.

13. Israel
Can someone tell me how is it that all rogue countries, dictatorships, despots all can be on a rotating membership on the security council, that is ALL countries in the world bar 1, only Israel in not allowed a seat even rotating on the council, anyone care to explain?
Yisraeli   (03.22.08)
14. UN is an immoral, corrupt and hypocritical anachronism......
...composed primarily of dictatorships. It was originally setup as a forum to prevent war and has become a false god of "moral"authority. It's best expression of it's potentiality is in it's various human rights body incarnations: hotbeds of hypocritical, anti semitic and existentially threatening to the jews. A separate body of real democracies should be entered into by real democracies.

15. no Tayfun, would not want to include zionism
when in so many ways, politically, economically, socially, and militarily it parallels the rise of Ottoturk and the Turkish Republic. Would not want to do that. Siktirgit!
jared ,   orlando   (03.22.08)
16. #13 - simple rules
To be a rotating member you need to be voted in by your regional group. As until recently Israel was not included in any region we could not get voted in.
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (03.22.08)
17. They want to expand, and Israel will still be exclluded
Some how the various plans all seem to have one common denominator, Israel will still have a hard time getting on the Security Council
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (03.22.08)
18. To Ben Shlomo
Thanks for the detailed reply. I learn a lot about Malaysia’s present situation. Pl share issues related to minority Indians. Thanks again..
Krish ,   India   (03.23.08)
19. Israel isnt even eligable to sit on the secrutiy council
The UN is dominated by anti Israel islamic states. The dictaitorship famous for its support of terror Syria has had not only a term sitting on the rotating Security Council but it has also had a term as the preseident of the roating security council. Not only was Syria supporting terrorism at the time it was given this but it was also still occupying Lebanon. Israel isnt even eligable to have a turn on the Security Council as it is the only full UN member state thats not even a member of the regional group that ellects members to represent them on the Security Council. Israel also has more General Assembly resolutions passed against it than any othe UN member. North korea, Saddam Hussains Iraq and all the other rouge states and dictaitorships non of them have as many resolutions against them as Israel does. If the UN wants to update the Security Council how about they start by making Israel a pemenent member of a regional group just like every other member state is and then lets demand the rules of the game are fair and Israel gets a shot at a term on the Security Council. If the Security Council is to be enlarged and more spesificly we get more permant members with vetos who will these states be .. more muslim ones in an attemtpt to appease the likes of al Quaida make them think muslims get better representation and we have islamic states with vetos like the Americans have ?
zionist forever   (03.23.08)
20. Why only 22???
There are more terror states then that! I suggest we start with Iran & Syria, yimach shemom
move the UN to HELL   (03.23.08)
