| Xiamen University to be built in Malaysia soon |
05 February 2013
IF YOU THINK THAT MALAYSIA,
a member and founding member of ASEAN will side with the Philippines in
the territorial disputes against China, think again. Have you noticed
that even as Malaysia lays claims to and occupies a string of islands in
the Spratlys (two of which they stole from us), China has not bothered
to talk them down?
On the contrary, the two countries get on famously! In fact, a top China political advisor, Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) is in Malaysia today to cement China-Malaysia ties announces China Communist Party official website.
Mr Jia, top China pulitburo official is in Malaysia
with a 60-member delegation to sign a string of cooperation agreements
which will be topped by the signing of documents to set up China's Xiamen University's first foreign branch and a contract to expand a seaport near the Kuantan industrial park. In fact, China
has been trumpeting that it hopes "Jia's visit would deepen bilateral
education cooperation so as to make China-Malaysia traditional
friendship last forever."
Well, our view is that this China visit to Malaysia is almost to be expected. China is now on a serious offensive using "Salami tactics"
aimed in large part at isolating "insolent" little Philippines and
Vietnam. And knowing Malaysia -- and I mean, know it very well,
opportunistic Malaysia will grovel before China (just like they
grovelled before the Japanese in WWII -- such is
the character of the Malaysians) even if it means not playing the ASEAN
card, i.e., "one for all, all for one" sort of thing, for as long a
string of UMNO and BN hotshots, including their Chinese-Malaysia
lackeys, get their fair share of the booty.
What has Malaysia got to lose?
Nothing. What have they got to win? Everything! China will be leaving
them alone in the Spratlys; perhaps will even protect Malaysia in the
future when the Philippines finally wakes up from the dead and decide to
take Sabah back. And of course, the icing on the cake is more trade growth. You see, China-Malaysia trade grew 5.3 percent on an annual basis last year to reach 94.8 billion U.S. dollars.
Both Malaysia and China have one major thing in common -- they have hijacked territories in the Spratlys well within the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines -- in other words, territories that rightfully belong to the Philippines, to exploit exclusively if PH so wants.
Not
only has Malaysia illegally annexed Sabah, it also now uses Sabah to lay
claims and to occupy other islets, reefs, shoals that they say are
within Sabah's 200 nautical mile EEZ. In
1999, Malaysia occupied Gabriela Silang Reef (Erica Reef) and Pawikan
Reef (Investigator Shoal), causing the Philippines to protest but
nothing came out of it. Malaysia also occupied Swallow Reef
(Celerio for the Philippines), which they now call Layang-Layang, on the
basis that it is within Sabah's EEZ and have been maintaining a
Malaysia Navy offshore security post called Uniform Station on the reef.

In
May 2011, journalist and Malaysa columnist Ellen Tordesillas wrote,
China tried to pull a fast one again by trying to hijack Jackson/Quirino
atoll which was a mere 126 nautical miles from Palawan. And this happened "While Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie was making a
“goodwill visit” in Manila less than two weeks ago, his people were
attempting to set up structures in an island, 126 nautical miles away
from Palawan " reports Ellen Tordesillas in her blog. Fortunately the Philippine Navy dismantled the China buoys.
And of course, today, we have virtually lost Scarborough to China.
Now, when you have a combination of thieves
as greedy as China and Malaysia, one found north and the other is found
west of the Philippines respectively, hell bent on further stealing
Philippine territories in the West Philippine Sea, then you must do everything to keep an eye on them. Why? That's because you just cannot, but absolutely cannot trust thieves!
Top Chinese political advisor's visit will cement China-Malaysia ties: Chinese envoy
(Xinhua) 16:02, February 03, 2013
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- Malaysia and China's relationship would be taken to a new height when Chinese top political advisor Jia Qinglin visits Malaysia on February 4 to sign a series of cooperative agreements and open a joint industrial park in the east coast Pahang state, Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Chai Xi has said.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), is scheduled to launch the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park, a 7-kilometer square development area as a 'sister park' to the China-Malaysia Qingzhou Industrial Park in Shandong province.
He is also expected to sign a number of documents related to, among others, the setup of Xiamen University's first foreign branch in Malaysia and an expansion of a seaport near the Kuantan industrial park.
China hopes Jia's visit would deepen bilateral education cooperation so as to make China-Malaysia traditional friendship last forever... "further reinforce our coordination and communication on regional and global issues for the sake of regional peace, stability and common development", Chai said.
The forthcoming visit underscores the "good momentum in strategic cooperation" China and the Southeast Asian nation had been keeping in recent years, Chai said.
Chinese President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao and top Chinese legislator Wu Bangguo visited Malaysia one after another last year while Malaysian Premier Najib Razak, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and Senate Speaker also paid visits to China.
Jia will head a 60-member delegation to visit Malaysia on Feb. 4-7. During his stay, Jia will pay a courtesy call to Malaysian King Abdul Halim and Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Several firms in the steel, aluminum and palm oil producing industry sectors have pledged to invest in the Kuantan industrial park, which entices investors with a 10-year tax break, cheaper land and convenient infrastructure, Chai said.
China-Malaysia trade grew 5.3 percent on an annual basis last year to reach 94.8 billion U.S. dollars.

funny that such provocative statements as above had no comments, obviously nobody cares. Malaysians taught their youngs not to name calling others (thieves, stupids..etc) since we were in pre-school. We were taught to respect others despite race and religion, hence we live peacefully despite our multiracial background. No war, no bloody coup etc in our country since independence. And thats a fact.
