Agriculture 10,000 years

Detail of a clay seal (about 200BC) from Mesopotamia. The origin of agriculture began more than 10,000 years ago ie. circa 8000 BC in the land between two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates what is now mainly Iraq. The food for civilisation is agriculture.

Iraq has been Bushwhacked to almost  stone age, how will the people forget revenge for a thousand years more?

Pak Lah blames Dr Mahathir ... Just Read, Aug 7

Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said...

On personal level one can and should forgive. For ineptness, wrongdoings of a leader elected, the nation can't just forget and forgive. The race, rakyat, and generations to come have to bear the consequences of misjudgements, unstatesmanship, foolhardiness ... If he was sincere enough with apnea retire voluntarily.

Chinese plan rival Panama Canal. OutSyed the Box, 6 July

Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE) said... After Mahathir, we become good at talking or doing nitty-gritty things and splitting hairs but not brave to do grand projects that build nations.

The once mooted Kelantan-Kedah rail and pipeline further adds transportation, technological, social, economic and many spinoff benefits to the country. It has to take into consideration of factors such as scenic routes, natural environment, MADA and KADA rice bowls etc.

Thailand holds the card to build or not to build the Kra canal. It will boost Bangkok as a port. It will put S'pore on a death knell and that is why the latter dare not say a word about Thailand. But then they are afraid that the troubled south would be very difficult to control

Sabah Incursion: Hang the Traitors. AKJ 3.3.13

Sustainable Living Institute (SAVE)said...

Those Tausugs made a grave mistake of armed intrusion into our country. But from their own historical perspectives they believe as if Sabah is still part of their homeland. It is a very deep rooted feeling that they are ready to die for it. It is difficult for others to fathom such gamut of feelings. Circumstances of state and regional politics of the past have divided their homeland and separated them from their blood relatives. To them it has been an injustice. Their ancestors have fought against the Spaniards, Americans, and even their own Filipino masters which suppress and still up in arms against them. The strength of Islam in them and bravery make them ready martyrs.

Looking at Najib's announcement, he seems ready to wash his hands off. If Ismail and Zulkefli make it good, Najib is happy, if they fail, I am not to be blamed. The point is, Najib has been going round high and low to transform things, big or small, immaterial whether they are within the portfolio of other ministeries - BR1M, IM4UFM, KR1M, handouts to gain votes (what the taxpayers make of that!) .... He is in a hurry to be proclaimed as the father of transformation. However, when comes to the national acid test to deal with infringement of sovereinty he delegated the job! In fact, he should be much in control of the Operation Room and rightly so as a former Defense Minister supposedly wizened to handle high security matters. Nothing much we hear of his DM days except controversies - Scorpene kickback, Altanthuya, fighter engine lost, disgruntled retired generals, and what not.

Given that Anwar is the dalang, and proven he could be placed under ISA. Oh no, Najib listened and abolished ISA! Najib gets his own medicine for his blunders.
