jadi yang "Antek Nekolim ( Neo Colonialism )" itu
sebenarnya Malaysia atau Indonesia?
Sudah waktunya pak Lah ato para mahasiswa di
Malaysia menyerukan pada rakyatnya:
- "Ganyang Indonesia!"
- "Ganyang Antek Nekolim!"
- "Selamatkan pulau ambalat!"
- "Selamatkan Dian Sastro!" ... :) {*}
Lebih baik Malaysia menyerbu dan menaklukkan
Indonesia, lalu meng-integrasikan Indonesia
dengan bangsa mereka yang kenyataannya jauh
lebih "patriotik" dan maju visinya.

Abdullah Says Malaysia Has Shifted Reserves Away From Dollar
------------------------------------------------------------
By John Fraher and Adrian Cox
Jan. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi said his country has shifted some of its $82
billion of currency reserves away from the dollar and that
potential foreign-exchange volatility may hurt exporters.
``We're concerned for the reason that the high percentage
of our international trade is in U.S. dollars,'' said
Abdullah today in an interview in Davos, Switzerland at
the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. When
asked whether Malaysia will cut its dollar holdings,
he said: ``We have already done. We'll continue to watch
the situation.''
Abdullah's comments reflect concern that lopsided trade
flows between the U.S. and the rest of the world will weaken
the dollar. The U.S. currency has dropped 6 percent against
the euro in the past year. Kuwaiti Finance Minister Bader al-
Humaidhi said on Jan. 24 that the third-largest Arab oil
producer may abandon the dinar's peg against the dollar in
favor of a basket.
Malaysia's central bank abandoned a peg to the dollar in
July 2005 and manages it against an undisclosed basket of
currencies. The ringgit has advanced 0.7 percent against
the dollar this year, climbing to a nine-year high this
month and trailing only the Icelandic krona as the world's
best performing currency.
``Overdependence on one currency can create a problem,
the dollar or any other currency,'' said Abdullah. He
declined to comment further on the country's foreign
exchange policy or his favored currencies.
Central bank Governor Zeti Akhtar Aziz in November declined
to comment on whether Malaysia was diversifying its reserves.
Abdullah also called on U.S. and European ministers meeting
in Davos today to unblock stalled World Trade Organizations
talks on dismantling trade barriers.
``The U.S. and the Europeans have a very important role to
play,'' he said. ``A lot of things are stuck here because
of these giants. If we can't have it globally then people
do it bilaterally or multilaterally.''
