Leaking everywhere.

Nothing much going on with my life except on weekend. On weekdays, attentively busy browsing the internet to be at level term with the world. The hottest topic of each other day is “wikileaks” and it has reached the Malaysian soil. Few that I picked that I want to share, perhaps someday I can look back and say it is true or just a political gimmick. Only time will tell.

Diplomatic fallout from Wikileaks revealations hit SEAsia

Updated December 13, 2010 14:32:20

The diplomatic fallout from the leaked US state cables by whistle-blower website Wikileaks, has spread to South East Asia.

This time, it's Singapore's turn. One of the cables, sent to Australia's Fairfax newspapers, noted that Singaporean intelligence and Mentor minister, Lee Kuan Yew believed that the Malaysian Opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim had committed sodomy, but was set up by his political enemies. Another cable in September 2008 quoted Singapore's permanent secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying Malaysia was lacking competent leadership. Other cables revealed that Singapore's Ambassador at large, Tommy Koh described Japan as a "big fat loser" in relation to China and ASEAN. Ambassador Koh, the longtime international face of Singapore, was also critical of India.

Italian PM Warns Israel May Nuke Iran

Berlusconi Insisted Obama Couldn't Stop Preemptive Nuking

by Jason Ditz, December 12, 2010

In a meeting with Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi warned that he believed “no one including Obama” could stop Israel from launching an attack against Israel once it had made up its mind.

Berlusconi, who has publicly said previously that he absolutely believes Israel will ultimately attack Iran, was revealed in the new comments, part of a WikiLeaks cable, to be concerned that Israel was planning to use nuclear weapons in the attack.

Though it continues to officially take a position of “ambiguity,” Israel has a large nuclear weapons arsenal and is indeed the only nuclear weapons power in the Middle East. Israeli officials have repeatedly threatened to attack Iran over its civilian nuclear program, claiming it constitutes an “existential” threat.

Berlusconi was said to have been briefed about a 2008 Israeli Air Force exercise in which warplanes flew a mock bombing run over Greece, apparently an attempt to simulate a flight to and attack against Iran. Others, including Australia’s intelligence community, have expressed similar concerns about the possible attack recently.

My Comment: This is what I fear most.
