Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis a.k.a. J.J.Dato’ Sri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis is reported by a news portal today to be the candidate to head the Malaysian Mission in Washington DC while maintaining the status of a Minister. If this prevails, then this will be the best choice made by the government since Tun Dr Ismail Abdul Rahman was appointed Ambassador to the United Nations in the 50s.
J.J, as he is fondly known is one of the sharpest minds in UMNO today and will be a fitting candidate for Ambassador to Washington because of his impeccable public relations skills and long term fine relationship with parties on Capitol Hill. He will get down to the business of promoting Malaysia – U.S. ties from day one in office as opposed to others who would have to take six months to settle down and get acquainted with the Big Boys on the Hill.
He is also one of the very few dynamics in Malaysian politics who is well received by all “factions” within the UMNO party and is a close associate of Prime Minister Najib Razak having served under him in the Youth Wing and coming from the same division very early in their political lives. His affable character being able to mingle with everyone at all levels with ease and his connection within those in power makes him an easy target for those who would want to bring the Prime Minister down. He was mentioned by the allegedly bankrupt fugitive Raja Petra Kamarudin in Malaysia Today and accused without the slightest evidence of trying to buy his silence over the case of the Mongolian woman who was murdered for alleged extortion. J.J. has dismissed this as “rubbish” and is seeking legal redress which might be futile if the fugitive is indeed a bankrupt. Last night, over a late night “teh tarik”, I was asked by my peers, as men of reasonable intelligence, wouldn’t it be easier for us to believe a man who has served the nation well over a bankrupt who is on the run from the law? I leave this question to your good judgment.

What is sure is that Malaysia’s position will be undoubtedly enhanced on the American front with Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis as our man in Washington. He will take the battle with Anwar to the source of the latter’s strength, and if I know J.J. well enough, I’d bet my last buck that he will deliver.

Dear TPJ,
Hello again,
To be frank,there are not many stories or posting about Jamaluddin Jarjis(JJ) in the papers or blogs
I remembered that JJ was the Minister in charge overseeing one of the most significant achievement of modern Malaysia THE ANGKASAWAN PROGRAMME
The Angkasawan program is an initiative by the Malaysian government to send the first Malaysian to space.
It resulted in Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor becoming the first Malaysian in space on October 10, 2007, when he blasted off to the International Space Station on board Soyuz TMA-11.It was indeed a historical and proud moment for us Malaysian..
I personally like JJ.I can see that he is genius person.I clearly remembered when there were interviews,press conference,special TV appearance on the space programme,he will answer it with facts,full of confidence and in a cool manner..
He did score a lot of points for Malaysia on the space programme..If the task were given to other people/minister,I bet iw will be dull,boring and full of crap.
As for his alleged scandal,I will just ignore it as no charges were ever filed..
JJ is one of the sharpest mind in UMNO.He is also well liked within UMNO where he garnered 1622 votes in the MKT race..and he doesn't moan or complain when he was not selected as one of the Minister in the new cabinet line up(big mistake Mr PM).This is a sign of a good and gentleman leader..
To sum up,I totally agree with TPJ that JJ is the right candidate for the Washington mission.One question though,what is the post actually and who is holding the post at the moment?Pls elaborate
Saudara Patriot,
Kenapa saya tengok saudara ni memuji Jamaluddin Jarjis ni berlebih-lebihan sangat.Macam ayat membodek pun ada saya tengok.
Apa u suka kat jambang dia ke apa?Apa yang spesel sangat tentang JJ yang u puji dia melambung-lambung ni.U tau tak dia pernah ada skandal dengan waiter and dia ni selalu merapu kat Parlimen.
Tolonglah Patriot.Janganlah memuji seseorang hanya untuk sekadar memuji sedangkan tak ada apa-apa pun sumbangan seseorang tu sebenarnya.
Salam dan kirim salam ajelah kat JJ u tu
Mutu Pintar,
Hello.
Yes J.J. is brilliant and unfortunately, that in UMNO can sometimes be a disadvantage if you want to rise. I know some people within the Supreme Council who are envious of him to the extent of being jealous because he gets things done albeit flamboyantly.
To answer your question, the position is actually called Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, or as it is normally called Ambassador.
The post is currently vacant after H.E. Datuk Dr Rajmah Hussain's retirement after more than 30 years as a diplomat.
Kureng gule.
Kepujian yang saya berikan kepada beliau di tampilkan dengan fakta-fakta yang sahih yang tidak mengikut emosi. Jikalau beliau dilantik untuk menjadi Duta Malaysia ke Nigeria umpamanya, saya tidak akan memberi ruang baginya di dalam blog saya kerana saya tidak tahu sekiranya beliau ada hubungan dengan kerajaan yang berkuasa di sana. Namun demikian, saya ada pengalaman dengannya di Washington dahulu membolehkan saya lihat dengan mata saya sendiri bagaimana beliau mengendalikan dirinya berkhidmat dan berdialog bagi pihak Negara kita ketika Tun Dr Mahathir melawat Washington sebelum persaraannya.
Mungkin saudara/i menilaikan sumbangan seseorang itu kepada negaranya berdasarkan kepada keterampilan atau "jambangnya" ataupun dengan siapa beliau berskandal, namun demikian saya menilai sumbangan seseorang itu untuk Negaranya dari kualiti kerjanya.
Kerana JJ dan lawatan Tun Dr Mahathir di waktu itu, harga pasaran untuk minyak kelapa sawit negara kita tidak lagi di tindas di pasaran dunia yang mengikut arah kecenderungan US.
Kita telah melihat bagaimana seorang yang dianggap sebagai "malaikat" di kalangan orang politik di Malaysia mempurak-purandakan kestabilan politik di negara ini kerana tiada kemahiran untuk memimpin.
Kita pun kadang-kadang tidak tahu apa yang rakyat mahukan sekarang jika wakil rakyat pembangkang berbangsa Cina yang sudah sah bersekedudukan dengan suami orang Islam pun boleh diterima sedangkan orang yang di fitnahkan tanpa bukti dan dakwaan mahkamah, di minta berundur diri.
Soalan cepumas saya:
Apakah sumbangan Kureng Gule kepada Negara kita yang tercinta ini selain dari menjaja fitnah skandal orang-orang kenamaan?
Terima kasih Kureng Gule kerana sudi mengunjung dan memberi pandangan anda.
Bro TPJ
I follow your blog closely though I seldom leave comments unless it involves contraversial issues.
Now JJ is certainly a contraversial figure, maybe because he lives life to the fullest. I'm told he sleeps only a few hours a day. People have seen him at 3 am and is in the office by 8am the next day when he was minister.
TPJ, you are right, the people are not looking for ulamaks to lead the nation anymore, because we have seen how a perceived "goody two shoes of a clean politician, and God fearing man" has wrecked the political stability and abused his position to the max to favour relatives economically. We are now looking for people who can lead and improve the economic and political situation of this country. At the end of the day, it's prosperity and security for the rakyat that's important. Let him or her answer for the Sins of his or her private life personally to God, but serve the couuntry well. Those who keep on harping on this will be fooled by the ulamak that they put in, just like the one that just retired as PM. We got fooled BIG TIME BRO!
YOU GO JJ!
Salam TPJ,
Jarang ada yang nak bercerita ttg JJ sebab blogger2 skrg ni sibuk dgn Peraklah,dgn Najiblah,dgn Penantilah so memang bagus krn ada jugak blogger yang nak bercerita ttg seorang lagi pemimpin UMNO yang bernama JJ..
Saya pun tak berapa nak kenal JJ ni cuma yang saya tau,dia adalah seoramg yang dinamik dan sangat berpengetahuan.
Mungkin "flaws"nya adalah krn sikap flamboyantnya dan satu dua tuduhan atas moralnya..Tapi bak kata Da Real Deal,kalau kita dpt leader yang clean mcm Tun Lah tpi negara jadi kucar kacir pun no point jugak kan.Kerja pun tak jalan and asyik nak tidor.
Soalan saya kpd TPJ hanyalah adakah TPJ rasa perlantikan ini sebagai satu"sted down"krn JJ dulu adalah menteri penuh dan skrg going for ambassador..
Atau mingkin post ini sangat penting sehinggakan seorang menteri yang dinamik sepert JJ telah di"consider"untuk jawatan ini?
Sekian dan salam
Bro Da Real Deal!
It's been a while man!
All I can say is, it's like you took the words right out of my mouth!
There are many types of leaders.
1. There are leaders when asked if we can do it, they say "we'll have to study it first" but never come back with the outcome. This is the most common escape for politicians when they know nuts about a certain issue.
2. There are leaders when asked if we can do it, they say,"we'll have to meet with the local authorities and the other parties concerned before we can give you an answer." This is a politician who knows nuts about the issue but asks his officers in the ministry to check and see if it's do-able and then come back only to "parrot" the findings by his subordinates. This takes ages.
3. There are very few leaders when asked if we can do it, they will say "YES WE CAN!" right after listening carefully to you and doing a brief research on it in your presence. This is a politician that has confidence it what he does and makes sure he gets to the root of it and sees its success. A go getter!
JJ is number 3.
Salam Screening,
JJ telah tidak tersenarai sebagai Menteri setelah pilihanraya 2008 walaupun beliau menang dengan majoriti besar di Rompin, Pahang.
Semenjak itu beliau hanya berkhidmat sebagai ahli parlimen biasa. Namun demikian beliau telah bertanding untuk mempertahankan jawatan sebagai Ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi UMNO Malaysia dan menang tanpa masalah dengan mendapat lebih daripada 1,600 undi.
1. Kedutaan Malaysia ke Amerika Syarikat adalah di kategorikan sebagai misi yang "high profile" dan teramat penting berbanding dengan kedutaan-kedutaan Malaysia di negara-negara lain, kerana urusan hariannya lebih ketat dan sibuk memandangkan Amerika Syarikat dan Presidennya mencorakkan urusan sedunia secara tidak langsung dari segi ekonomi dan keselamatan dan sebagai Duta Malaysia, beliau ditugaskan untuk mempertahankan polisi negara kita di Washington yang secara tidak langsung adalah pusat dimana polisi dunia di tentukan.
Di Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu di New York, mereka hanya menjadi pak turut atau "rubber stamp" kepada kepimpinan Washington sahaja. Sebab itulah jawatan ini amat penting dan bukan sebarang orang yang boleh memegangnya jika tidak ada keyakinan. Ini bukanlah suatu "demotion" bagi J.J.
2. Kalau di lihat, J.J. adalah satu-satunya orang UMNO yang tidak menghiraukan kedudukan di dalam kabinet dan tidak pun tersinggung apabila beliau tidak di senaraikan sebagai menteri kerana silaturrahimnya yang amat baik dengan Dato' Sri Najib. Beliau lebih rapat dengan Perdana Menteri dari menteri-menteri kabinet yang ada hari ini melainkan seorang yang merupakan sepupu kepada PM, dan beliau boleh berhubung secara terus menerus tanpa melalui setiausaha sulit kanan sebagaimana perlunya menteri-menteri lain berbuat demikian. Ini menunjukkan bahawa kedudukan JJ lebih baik dari mana-mana menteri yang terpaksa mengikut saluran yang tertentu.
3. Keputusan di Washington semestinya dibuat dengan pantas kerana ianya dianggap "top priority". Dengan JJ di sana, ianya membolehkan keputusan dibuat dengan cepat kerana beliau boleh berhubungan terus dengan PM di saat-saat yang genting berbanding dengan Duta yang lain yang terpaksa mengikut protokol melalui Menteri Luar Negeri diWisma Putra. Tentunya apa-apa keputusan yang dibuat olehnya akan dimaklumkan kepada Wisma Putra sebagai formaliti.
Dengan adanya seorang Presiden Amerika yang dinamik dan terbuka untuk mendengar pandangan umum, dan dengan adanya seorang Perdana Menteri yang tidak kurang dinamik di Malaysia yang mempunyai karisma yang setanding dengan Obama, maka tepatlah jika Duta Malaysia ke Washington juga seorang yang dinamik seperti Dato' Sri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis yang tajam pemikirannya dan cepat tindakannya.
Tanpa berbunyi semacam "membodek" kerana saya tiada kepentingan langsung diatas perlantikan beliau memandangkan sebagai Duta dan bukan Menteri berportfolio, tiada projek yang boleh beliau salurkan kepada saya, perlantikan ini pada pandangan saya bukanlah suatu "promotion" kepada beliau tetapi ianya sudah tentunya suatu "promotion" bagi negara kita di Washington D.C. (Kenyataan ini hanya sah jikalau beliau menjadi Duta ke Amerika Syarikat dan bukan ke Negara lain).
