"hot hot chicken shit !"

2009-11-07T15:30:00.007+08:00

How many of you out there have been victims of mugging at knife-point or have had your bags snatched by motor-bike riding "rempits" ? Next question....have you had your stolen items or snatched bags returned by any so called "cekap, amanah & bersih"( steadfast, fair & clean ) investigating officer of your report of the same ?

Well except for this young and plucky vigilante things have been different. She not only got back her stolen items from the snatch thief and at the same time also metted out punishment on the perpetrator ! I call it "Justice Served" and she did right !! ( read here )

These scum-bag snatch thieves have become bolder and more ruthless attacking almost anyone regardless of gender, age or race ! They seem to be having a "party- time" in the streets of all big cities for far too long and the crime rate in our country is only keeping on par with our rising costs of all essential items, well..... I'd guess maybe more, yes ?

But what has been done to curb this menace by our boys-in-blue, huh? For a few happy days about 2 months ago, I saw policemen and women patrolling on foot and waiting at strategic junctions in my "taman" and I was delighted, honestly delighted......but alas....it was over just as soon as it started. Everything is as like one commenter said "hangat hangat tahi ayam" or "hot hot chicken shit " !

What happened to the foot-patrol, Mr. IGP ? Not enough man-power suddenly ? Just pleasing and biding your "masters" will to the over-rated and pathetic 1Malaysia call ? Why start something and then let it fizzle-out when the "heat" from public ( meaning tax-payers) anger is cooled-off ?

Roadblocks are aplenty these days and are placed always at "blind" corners....almost every night after 1am. ....but they are not there to weed-out these thieving wolves on wheelies but to dampen the "headiness" of celebrating tax-payers spirits in cars ! They don't check for any bad-hats....cos first thing they do is poke their heads into your car to "smell" alcohol, then shove the breathalyser into your mouth ! Then, correct me if I am wrong.......the "negotiations" begin !

I have seen motor-cyclists making abrupt u-turns on main carriage-ways and riding head-long of on-coming cars just to escape these road-blocks. Shouldn't a few policemen on bikes be discreetly posted a few hundred meters before the road-blocks to nab these offending fiends. Surely anyone who does a u-turn before a road-block is an offender of some law, am I right ???

I could go on and on....but I have to save them for another day.....but in the meantime, I say "thank you" to this gutsy woman who put her own life in danger to save this bastard snatch thief from causing much pain and trauma to scores of other victims in the future, had he escaped from colliding into her MyVi ! Perhaps she should get a medal for "gallantry" or the PDRM should reward her with cash or at least pay for her damaged car

Kudos to you girl, whoever you are !

another "crack"-down on vocal citizens ?

2009-11-04T13:12:00.010+08:00

UPDATES: (6:18pm.) Bernard arrived at the CCID at 2:45pm and the "questioning" lasted till 4:45pm. Below are the photos in sequence. Will do captions later.

at 2:45...I swear it was a "thumbs-up"....see his middle finger is folded..

....mingling with his "fishing" friends...

Ladies man...always obliging the ladies OR are the ladies always obliging a pose with him ?....hmmm....age matters I guess, yes ?

...checking-in...into Hotel California ?

and in they go at sharp 3pm....with lawyer/friend Ashok...

in the meantime, elsewhere out-side the FCCID, at a bus-stop across the road...friends gather and wait...even Alan came from far-away PD...."armed and dangerous" with his brolly....erhhh...notice anyone "sinister" in the shadows ?

ahhh...strategise !...Boom confers with Azmi on the next course of action..."initiate storming the building ? activate Plan B ? mobilise cyber-troopers ?...think ! ...think !".....btw is this bus-stop rigged with "hearing/seeing" devices?...now don't laugh...anything's possible, right ? That's why the soft and low whisperings....exchanged....

...what's this Haris, nice strut...parading for Armani ?

and at 4:45pm. they came out...to the waiting papazzaries and journos....

...and more questions and "guarded" answers....erhmm..well...you know... !

...okay...one last question, please...time to wrap-up, now to "light-up" and down a few "amber's".....it's been a long day for all...

...but not before Bernard was photographed against the infamous entrance wall of the Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department in Bukit Perdana, KL. Hopefully for the last time ! Somebody should permanently draw/mark lines on this wall to measure height like in rooms in police stations, where "suspects" stand in line during identification parades, yes ?

In awhile at 3pm blogger Bernard Khoo aka "zorro-unmasked" will be having an intimate "audience" with the good and friendly people of the PDRM at the CCID head-quarters.

Other vocal and prominent bloggers like rpk, rockybru, kickdafellow, nataniel tan, bakap have all had their fair share of "brushes" with our infamous boys-in-blue.... some more than once !

Today it looks like nobody is spared...... even if it is a very senior and greying citizen pushing 70, blogging with his "graphic" conscience !

Hmmmm......subtle and friendly intimidation and "scare" tactic persuasion of vocal free-agents seem to take priority over the over-whelmingly messy voilent crime activities daily on the streets of our fair city by our tax-payer's "paid guardians" of the law !!

Sheeesh !

smoker's nightmare...SM Mohamed Idris !

2009-10-30T16:03:00.007+08:00

And we have morons and then we have IDIOTS ! Today we have S.M. Mohamed Idris. (pic.) And I want to come to the defense of smokers !

Yes the call for fixing the price of cigarette packets at RM 30.00 per packet by a stupid man who claims to head the consumer's association of Penang thinks smoking is a social problem! He has not heard of "mat & minah-rempits" and drug addicts who snatch bags I'd guess ! ( read here )

Does he know the millions of ringgit as loans awarded by the government to tobacco farmers both here in the peninsular and in the East Malaysia ? If smoking is sooooo so bad then why does the government of the day grant the loans in the first place ? How many of the farmers depend on smokers to put food on the table and send their children to school huh ? How about repayments of that loan ? How many of our parliamentarians smoke ? Opps...sorry....our parliamentarians chomp on expansive, branded and imported cigars that are hand-rolled on the thighs of and by 80 year old virgins in Cuba !

Excise tax duties from cigarettes alone help maintain so many government ministries stay afloat and this president of CAP is supposed to protect the rights, rising costs and choices of the citizenry and what does he do but put more hardship on the lower and average "cigarette dependent" and tax-paying citizens who have a habit to smoke ! Next he'll go for the price of beers, yes ?Alternatively the ganga trade will flourish !

There is just so much hypocrisy and double standards in the government. One ministry offers loans to tobacco farmers, then another ministry spends millions campaigning "anti-smoking" efforts, another ministry collects millions as revenues from taxes of the consumers who smoke and yet another ministry welcomes foreign cigarette companies to set-up businesses here. And another ministry to collect millions by putting traumatic and gory photographs on cigarette packets and make a "killing" by monopolising the market producing these packets. Typical crony action at it's best and at work here !

Now tell me why would millions of ringgits be spent both by the government and foreign cigarette companies as investments in this country, not to mention advertising revenue for healthy sports for this "preacher" to prophesies the dangers of smoking ? It is a fundamental and constitutional right of an adult individual to choose as he pleases ! And we don't need any from you, Mr. SM Mohamed Idris ! Get it ? Go for the retailers who sell cigarettes to the kids, okay ? You want to stop anyone from smoking go find out how many in your family are smokers first be it cigarettes or marijuana !

Sheeesh....the gall of this moron just to get some cheap attention for his waning popularity ! There's one born every day in Malaysia !

.......now excuse me while I light-up !

when oh when...do we ever learn !

2009-10-27T15:16:00.009+08:00

Here we go again...another "quick-fix" project awarded by the state education department to some crony company to a build suspension bridge that collapsed with the weight of about 30 playful children !

Now don't go blaming the kids for playing on a suspension bridge ok ? Kids being kids are by nature boisterous and playful....otherwise something's not right with that kid.

But why should this happen ? What kind of contractor was given the project ? How many more kids must die before we STOP playing with their innocent lives ? How many deaths has the NS program claimed ? And that too with 18 year old kids. Do we ever learn ? Noooooo....! The whole NS and all other "projects" is only created to satisfy some crony's thirst for money. Shoddy and hurried workmanship is the result of these ever on-going tragedies, always !

But these are 12 year olds, for God's sake ! Why do they have to attend these camps in the first place ? Fostering unity must come naturally in house-holds by parents, teachers in schools and the media, from the time the kids attain schooling age. I say NO ! to this stupid 1Malaysia and NS unity-camps ! It's a total waste of young lives and not to mention tax-payers money !!! No way is this government taking my kid for any "unity" camp......comprendo ? I'd gladly see them in court !

Somebody's "hare-brain" idea to make more money ? Surely somebody must have whispered of this "great money-making" idea into the minister's ears, for him to have initiated this program, yes ? Now who's hands are tainted bloody with this death of yet another child ? Who's going to tell the parents of that child that RM 10,000.00 is the price of her life and that everything's going to be okay soon and that their lives will return to normal soon, huh ? The Education Minister, the Chief Minister or the Prime Minister ???

Just looking at the above picture of that suspension bridge and I, as a layman, can tell you how shallow the foundations are. Is the contractor, the contractee and all involved in awarding the bridge contract arrested yet ? And the finger pointing begins....of course so....just point a finger sky-ward and say "act of God" yes ?

I stop here cos I'm "pissed-off"..... in the meantime you listen very carefully to the lyrics with Katie Melua singing the Dylan classic.....again ! Sheeeeesh !

only 20% chance of suicide, huh ?

2009-10-25T17:33:00.007+08:00

Now this is interesting ! Teoh Beng Hock's family will request for his body to be exhumed, enabling a second autopsy to be carried out by Thai pathologist Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand.( here )

Stranger things have happened with the good doctor now declaring of a 80% homicidal death of Teoh Beng Hock and my worry is, what if they can't find the body ? We have known of disappearing private investigators and non-existent entry records of Mongolian models in Malaysia, yes ? So brace yourselves if they don't find the body of Teoh Beng Hock there upon digging into his grave. Can we then exclaim "Alleluia....he has risen ?"

Now this doctor is "notoriously" popular in Thailand. She has single-handedly brought the police there to their knees in some very revealing autopsies of mysterious deaths in police custody. She has "scientifically" managed to put the missing pieces of evidence in an otherwise "open-and-shut" case of deaths in police detention. And she has certainly "ruffled alot of feathers" and got some very high level police officers shaking in deep shit ! But of course she's a darling to the families of victims, with her bizarre punk-rockish image !

But not to worry, here in Malaysia she won't be able to do any of that ! We have our courts and police aligned and might even give her a "friendly" caution if she was digging too deep to embarrass the powers that be, right ?

I can't wait to see what theories, evidence and revelations this doctor unearths from her autopsy and to once and for all put Teoh Beng Hock's body to finally rest in peace !

Amen !

of morons and prince-asses !

2009-10-21T16:18:00.007+08:00

There is an estimated instant 30,000 or even maybe 3,000,000 people who WILL vote against PAS in the next GE !

Yes, these estimated 30,000 could multiply by the hundred-fold in time to come if the head-honchos in PR sit on their arse and do nothing ! Trust me, word gets around fast and every time someone asks any of these 30,000 if they watched the Beyonce Live show in KL , their immediately and frustrated reply would be ..."ahh fcuks....these bloody PAS kopiah buggers with instant hard-ons at the slightest show of flesh, have screwed us up big-time by protesting and calling for a banning of the show here and pretty soon they'd be banning more of this and more of that", yes ?

I'm saying this because that's the about the 30,000 number of educated urbanites who had paid an average of RM300.00 each for the tickets and are now waiting for their refund from the organisers. How very disappointing for the rest of us free-thinking citizens. Just what do they think they are doing, these PAS fellows huh ? Stupid is the word ! And they still want to "control" the independent wishes of us all, whether muslims or non-muslims ? Playing the "high moral police" shit again ? These ass-holes are giving a bad name to the rest of the coalition and trust me.... they'll be the main reason for the down-fall of PR, come the next GE ! In fact it may even be a "tsunami" of votes for BN !

Do they know every selfish action and screwed-up remark they utter from their vacuumed head is converted to a loss of the all-important votes ? Do they even care if they are supposed to fight for the rights of ALL the peoples, as in the "PAS FOR ALL" tag ? Wake-up stupid !

Only consolation is elsewhere in BN there is another bunch of morons, apart from MIC, PPP and MCA....the Puteri UMNO's call for the ban on "horror" movies is taking top-billing this week !

Puteri UMNO themselves are a "cringing horror" show and if these Puteris' even stopped to think of the huge revenue grossed from such movies ? Yes, "Jangan Pandang Belakang", a horror flick was the highest ever grossing local movie in this here Malaysia and these "princesses" have no idea whatsoever of the impact these types of movies have with the local audience. Think of all those who's very livelihood depends on this industry !

We all grew-up watching horror movies, didn't we ? Do we have to have these half-baked political wannabes spewing more shit when more pressing "bread-and-butter" issues begs their attention ? If you Puteris' got nothing constructive to say , just shut-up ! Okay ? Take entertainment as entertainment and leave it at that ! Period !

we were 1Malaya....once !

2009-10-19T15:14:00.006+08:00

The most over-used word today here in Malaysia is "1Malaysia" ! Everyone's cashing-in on the 1 factor. Why must it be so ? Have we never been so ONE-kind one before Najib came up with the brilliant 1Malaysia concept ? Why not....?

If you were born after 1969, you might get all excited and embrace this 1Malaysia phenomena as the "eureka" of all things good and only hope for the ONEness of being Malaysians, yes ?

But not the rest of us ! See we were "ONE" long before politicians decided we were too happy living in almost perfect harmony totally being conscience of our unique racial and religious back-grounds and I site below of just one such significant example.

Remember the times in the old days (meaning 60's ), during festivals of the various religions, how the little kids in any given neighbour-hood dressed in their festive best, carried trays of cookies ( every cookie on that tray, subscribing to their ethnic and religious back-grounds was home-made by the female members of each house-hold ) first thing in the morning of the auspicious day to all the neighbouring houses and the neighbour in return accepted the tray of goodies and in return would pour a cup of sugar ( which in later years turned to small "ang-pow" packet for the bearer of such trays) as a returning gift on the same tray as a gesture of the sweet acceptance of such neighbourliness ? Do you ? Now that was the time we were all 1Malaysia or even 1Malaya ! ( from tales of my early days in Taiping here)

What can I say now but sigh... with regret and long for the good old days and am dumb-founded and cannot understand the current concept of 1Malaysia, 1Toilet , 2 National days (this is the latest.....Najib declares 2 National days for 1Malaysia ) .....hmmm...still baffles me as to why you had to pay people to come together as 1Malaysia ( here) !!

Siiigggh !

Deepavali Greetings !

2009-10-16T22:02:00.005+08:00

Here's wishing all Malaysians a "Joyous and deLIGHTful Deepavali !"

Godbless !

From shanghaifish and fly !

PR-damage control or on auto-cruise ?

2009-10-15T12:10:00.006+08:00

Where do you think the PR went wrong recently ? If you asked me I'd say almost EVERY WHERE !

Things are beginning to crack in the PR, at least that's how I see it . Renegade's are opening their big and silly mouths and saying all the wrong things and "run-away" half-baked religious bigots are allowed to impose and get away with their personal "fatwahs" when their tag-line says other-wise.

The recent Bagan Pinang by-election is one example. The "beer" issue of that idiot Hassan Ali was played-up to the hilt by the BN to their advantage in this holiday resort town where tourist from all over come to spend their holidays. PAS and entertainment don't gel, huh ? Even the "cow-head" issue became a PAS thinggy ! Can PAS actually deliver to the people ( here I mean ALL cultures and races !) with their "PAS for ALL" tag-line, when someone whispered casually that at every ceramah where there was a substantial mix of races, the speaker begins with a good 2 maybe 3 minutes reciting verses from the Quran ? Don't get worked-up now or get me wrong....we're talking about politicians here, okay !!

Lets be real and honest here and with all due respect and no offence to any particular religion, okay? Can PAS tolerate say, at a DAP ceramah a speaker shoots-off with a recital of the Buddist or Hindu or even a Christian prayer ? Can they honestly stomach it ? Maybe a simple "assalumualikum" a "vanakam" and a "nee how mah" or "sieh-sieh" would suffice if you are speaking to the rakyat at ceramahs and then ramble on with the "dirty" business of dragging the opponent's character through shit ! See the prayers recited earlier sounds so hypocritical, yes ? Do we really want that ? Yes or No ?

Again I heard from a "friendly" politician of the PR regarding Hassan Ali's fate and future within the party. Seems he (Hassan aka moron) is to be put in "cold storage" and that he would die a natural political death ! What ?...what I don't understand is, if he was to be avoided like a plague, how is he going to be pro-active with his constituents and how well is he going to represent in the "show and tell of achievements" segment in the next GE ? When the next GE comes, that same constituents are going to swing their votes to the other side, because this moron could not get anything done because all this moron's request for his constituents to the PR were ignored or side-lined. Think ! That seat will also see the BN having the edge in the next GE, right ?

The thing about elections and by-elections is the wanna-be candidate only "turun padang" at the 11th. hour. How much can he achieve in a few days ? Reports of PAS's "no go" to the estates or touching base with the local Malaysians of remote Indian origins are aplenty.....to a point some admitted they never actually went into the interior of estates to meet the voters. These people who are just as important in deciding the candidate's fate in a by-election are really left behind....and can you imagine these estate workers have not ever heard of KUGAN ? The same is happening right now in East Malaysia too, yes ?

That's how isolated they are. Low pay, hard work and long hours and detached from current news and with only "tamil movies", alcohol or an occasional illicit sexual tryst is a welcome escape from their miserable lives...don't you think they need your expertise, sincere presence and willingness to educate them...all the time and not during the crucial election time only ! Think out of that "political" box once in awhile, please !

Just because the vacant seat is a certain party's strong-hold and a certain majority rules does not mean someone from another fraction cannot be tried or be tested. It takes a truly sincere and dedicated man to really rule ALL the people. Not tag-lines !

Anwar has to make some hard choices and changes and make them he must.... or other-wise loose the plot !

UPDATES: 13-1-2009

...umbrella girls from both divides...?

...a smiling doctor with a very good reason, perhaps ?
...and the foot-soldiers hurling abuses across the road.....
..and with equally matching verbal retorts from the other side....
...time out...take a smoke-break, SPR boys...
...FRU in action....push...push...
..."I kenal you dari that kampung bukan, ka?".... "takdelah"..seems to the exchange between the cop and the fat-boy..
...more protest from the PR over some BN big-wig driving straight into the compound of the polling station...
"dei thamby...last warning tau.....jangan main-main sama saya, saya polis tau...nanti I tangkap you tau, wokay ?"
......ahhhh... the arm-over-shoulder conspiracy between BN and DAP ?
these are the KKBN supporters. They refuse to admit to belong to MIC nor Makkal Sakthi....and they claim to be only from 1Malaysia, how.....got meh ???

....FRU in action....

...the police pacifying the sides from going for each other's neck....
and followed by a thumb's down....
ordinary people of Sailiua, Bagan Pinang..
an officer running to stop the LSF personal from charging.....at the crowd.....
....a wee bit young, ain't he, to be in a big man's world, yes ?
ahhh....the old "show me the money" trick to lure the other side....
more money to flash.....
this is Officer Selva.....who demanded this YB and her entourage to get back behind the police line......and get back she did sheepishly.....
hmmmm.....ghost from the past, perhaps.....??
....and UMNO's Isa Mohd....the "giant" contender....
see that pole at the back......with ringgit notes in the now familiar "line & bait" waved before the other side.....
...this is Pas' Zuklifly........the under-dog..
and in Ladang Bradwall......

There you go folks, by now you would have known the results and Isa won . Good for him. But this was a foregone and expected win in his favour from the on-set.... another battle fought and won for BN and another battle lost for PR. So let's move on. And as Bernard says in his post "let PR bend it's knees in humility and arise with dignity to fight another day"! The war isn't over yet......so the key words to remember and remember well is "think" and "learn"

Cheers !

1Malaysia....crap !

2009-10-09T15:23:00.005+08:00

My 12 year old brought this form home from school last night and told me to fill-up the form and return to the school ! I was shocked and pissed-off beyond words at the questions/contents of the form . What is going on ?? On one hand we have a PM claiming we were 1Malaysia and integration should start at "an early age in schools so that our kids would be able to grasp the true meaning of 1Malaysia" and on the other, the Education Ministry sends out these "borong" which smacks and stinks with race and religion !

Is there any chance for school kids to be united as ONE if they are subject to such blatant classifications ? Our popular PM is stressing on "UNITY" and "ONE" while the Education Ministry is hijacking the PM's clarion call and continues to tag students at this tender age. So what gives Mr. Education Minister ? You not paying heed to your boss's directive ? Or you are not aware of such practice ? Then even your ministry is sabotaging you, yes ? Or you too think integration of the various races can be achieved in the 3 months of NS stint and all will be dandy, issit ?? Sheeech !

There's a column for "Kaum" "Agama" and "Warganegara" for both child and for the parents ! Even intimate questions of the parents marital status and income details and contact nos. have to be submitted ! For God's sake stop this damn practice Mr. Education Minister ! This is a shameful 3rd. world practice of labelling the kids. Even orphans in orphanages and adopted kids are not spared. Have they not enough heart-ache being who they are but you Mr. Education Minister, have to get them to declare their sad status to the world ? Where is the apathy ? If this is your idea of 1Malaysia....then we are doomed and millions of tax-payers money has gone down the drain in all those fancy 1Malaysia bill-boards and campaigns to-date !!!

I confronted the teacher this morning and she too was disgusted with the ministry's directive of this crap questionnaire BUT she replied her "hands were tied" ( you'll notice this line is the usual SOP for all government servants ) BUT if she had her way, she'll quit from teaching altogether and get out....but I reassured her not all is lost as yet ! The next GE is around the corner and told her to vote wisely with her heart and then maybe she can continue doing the noble job of "teaching" for the sake of the children's future as ONE ANAK BANGSA MALAYSIA !!!

Sheeeesh !

2009-10-08T12:34:00.009+08:00

Yes that's the word ! This post is directed to the many Malaysians of remote Indian origins in the Bagan Pinang by-election electrol, who have decided to "jump" the BN way, thanks to a moron called R.S.Thanenthiran ( here ) and another "partyless" idiot T. Murugiah ( here ) ousted from a party that was not even recognised by the BN in the first place, and thus further dividing the so-called "minority" Malaysians of remote Indian origins.

But these "marginalised" Malaysians of remote Indian origins in Bagan Pinang who are in limbo as to their leader's political allegiance and blind faith HAVE an avenue.....if they dare give up on race-based politics !

Yes I'm talking of change ! Changing mind-sets of simpletons that have long been drummed and drilled with so called race issues and caste issues by the likes of the now irrelevant Swami Velu and Kaveas is indeed a monumental and up-hill task ! The idea was to keep these "foot-soldiers".....as foot-soldiers ! Nothing more, nothing less and too much "insider knowledge" lead to the birth of the 2 racist morons mentioned in the first paragraph above.

These 2 "monkeys-kings" have observed and learnt well from their now irrelevant "sifus" mentioned in the second paragraph and have bloated into ego-maniacs just like their "sifus".....helping themselves first ( by conspiring and "selling-out") and spewing rubbish( of boasts and threats) just for the sake of attracting attention to their irrelevant selves.

Where does that leave the simple "foot-soldiers"...... do you really need these kind of leaders ? Ones who'll sell you out and compromise with the very people whom you marched against in protest for that very basic rights denied to you and challenged their mighty chemical-lased water cannons and tear-gas strikes ? Forgotten already ??

Principles you promised you will not compromise and taught your kids to up-hold and cling to, to be recognised as an equal in this great land your fore-fathers struggled to build but now to only enrich a select few ? Think....people of Bagan Pinang, think......cast your race based inhibitions and vote a party that respects your views and rights and accepts you as an equal partner. It is indeed a tragedy being an "Indian first" then being a Malaysian first ! Sigh !

And as for the title of this post, pronounced "poc mo hon".....it's old Gaelic and an invite to the persons mentioned in para 1 and 2 and all who think like them !

Vote wisely or forever be damned !

Cheers !

Dare to change ?

2009-10-03T16:23:00.003+08:00

This is perhaps the most appropriate song for today...the nomination day for the Bagan Pinang by-election !

So now begins the hazy crazy days of campaigning and ceremah's and the sudden convergence of many "big-wigs" in fancy batiks and suits and with a large entourage to boot, like leeches, parading around in this sleepy sea-fronting town called Port Dickson, with their fake smiles, hand-shakes, bear-hugs and promises of the stars, sun and moon ! We have seen it all before ! The familiar shallow theatrics by some that makes your head spin and and work you up in a political frenzy. The media helps to register these dramatic moments too !

Yes...you have seen it all before, yes ? 52 years is a damn long time....right ? What would they know what's good for you until this week, huh ? Do they really care ? Of course....for this week only...these "prophets" with their false promises will convince you they really DO care . But what about the rest of your miserable days thereafter after they've won and gone ? You have been screwed before because you thought you were wise in your choice of candidate to represent you and take you out of the depressing abyss you have sunk into but now are you going to continued being screwed by these people again and again ? Perhaps you enjoy being screwed, yes ?

Think hard....change is good ! Change is always good.

So you have to get off that "fear factor" zone to exercise your right to vote and vote wisely you must this time, not for yourself but for your kids sake ! Or forever be damned.

In the meantime enjoy this "prophet's" clip but more importantly pay extra attention and deep meaning to the lyrics of this timeless classic !

Cheers !

So how now, brown cow ?

2009-10-01T12:31:00.004+08:00

Now let's take a look at the PAS candidate for the N.31 Bagan Pinang state seat. A virtually unknown man ( as far as I'm concerned !) Zulkefly Mohamad Omar is taking on the might and power of the BN and also the PM's choice , the tainted and former MB of Negeri Sembilan Tan Sri Mohd. Isa Samad.

Looking at this Zul guy's impressive credentials and past records, what chance does he have against Isa ? Although this state commissioner for PAS holds a Masters degree in Science and an unblemished "corruption" record, this fellow had contested and lost in the Lenggeng seat to UMNO's Mustapha Salim in the last election. And this time he has to be absolutely convincing to the voters there against the BN's cash filled war-chest ( add the head-spinning "lucky draws" every week to it too !) coupled with the already 5,000 odd "in-hand" postal or better known as "army" votes as a "given" advantage to Isa, yes ? Then there is even a proposed promise of a name-change to one of the last colonial town-name from Port Dickson to "Bandar Askar", perhaps, if BN won ?

Yes, for now this Zul bloke comes-up squeaky clean.....but what IF he won and then start to do a shit-stirring ala "Hassan Ali" or a "Zulkifly Nordin" ? Many may jump to his defence but PAS and PKR has a lot of house-cleaning to do as yet ! I'm still dissappointed of the inaction of both and am watching their every move !

His blogspot has not been up-dated since 8-8-2009 save to say he's running for the state seat on the side-bar recently....hmmm !!

But people of civil society demand representatives who are accountable, intelligent, fair ( not the color of the skin !) trust-worthy and with morals, yes ?

Here we're dealing with a good fraction of enlisted men who I'm afraid have no access or power to think/decide for themselves as has been pointed out in comment boxes in other blogs by some very high ranking ex-servicemen who have themselves watched from the side-lines unable to do a thing themselves before ! And yet another percentage of the non-Malay voters ( Makkal Sakthi ) whose leaders have suddenly pledged allegiance/bartered/traded/sold themselves to the powers-that-be ! Now taking the above into consideration, what percentage is left of the 14,000 odd eligible voters to eat out of this Zulkefly's hands ?

A "tough" decision indeed awaits the simple and ordinary but crucial voting citizens of Bagan Pinang between an intelligent and clean "green-horn" against a rich, powerful and seasoned rogue !

So how now, brown cow ! (opps... no, not that "no-no" word again !)

ISA it is !

2009-09-29T18:33:00.007+08:00

So it is former Negeri Sembilan menteri besar Tan Sri Mohd ISA Samad who will be fielded by UNMO ! He is the PM's choice ! This is also what the people of Bagan Pinang want ! Hmmmmmm......yes UMNO, good choice..very good choice indeed ! ( more here )

"In IPOH, the newly-formed Malaysia Makkal Sakti Party said it will campaign for the Barisan Nasional candidate in the Bagan Pinang by-election.
Its deputy president A. Vathemurthy said the party would work hand-in-hand with Barisan towards realising the 1Malaysia concept.".....

Hahahaha !!!....SOLD ! (read here)....told yer so...didn't I ??

"mar-de tahleh madayan".....

2009-09-29T11:24:00.010+08:00

"......It doesn't matter if the farms are illegal. You should not let the cattle die without giving us any aid".....(read here for the full story )

SHAH ALAM, Sept 28 (Bernama) -- A group of 75 breeders brought cattle and goats to the doorsteps of the Selangor state secretariat here on Monday to vent their anger at the state government, barely one month after the cow's head demonstration was held there....."

Just what the fcuk is going on here ?? First we have a partyless deputy minister T. Murugiah and also a moron who warns us with arrest if the mention of the "cow-head issue" is brought up at ceremahs at the Bagan Pinang by-election, and now we have a bunch of 74 village idiots demanding for government aid even if they were ILLEGAL cattle breeders ! My.... the cheek of it all ! Every bloody illegal country bumpkin is jumping on the "cattle-wagon" to protest at the state Secretariat ! These idiots should be charged and jailed for rearing these animals illegally in the first place BUT they have the gall to demand "animal rights" and compensation too !

And about the gag-order of seemingly innocent words that we the rakyat use everyday, there seem to be a trend in the run-up for every by-election where specific words become taboo for the rakyat's usage ! Why ???... you will soon notice words like Allah, Mongolia, Altantuya, Port Klang Free Trade Zone, cow and any cow-related words like milk, cow-dung, cow-hide, cow-horns will be wiped-out from our kids school text-books and Atlases too ! In fact we cannot even utter "holy cow" or "allahmak" anymore ! Just what the damn hell is wrong with our government ?? So shit-scared of a cow's shadow now ? Gimme a break, pluleeez !

So this is 1Malaysia ?

T. Murugiah....you are a "mar-de tahleh madayan" ! What did you do when the "cow-head" issue first poped-up ? Were you anywhere near Shah Alam ? Did you come out with any positive solution ? Did your party....opps, forgot you got no party... but just WHAT did you do ? Never heard a squeek from you then, so why now ? Lack of attention ?

btw....if the rest of you don't understand what "mar-de tahleh madayan" ( in Tamil dialect okay, but I could be arrested if I translated it in English ! ) means, go ask the 75 ILLEGAL cow-herds of the Selangor Breeders Association !

G. Silvanathan (29-10-1954 to 25-9-2009)

It came as a shock to hear the passing of a dear friend better known as Nathan, a member of the NPC, and attached with the Health Ministry last night. Always seated on the last chair of the long bar at the club....which some even dub as "Nathan's corner" and speaks very softly and listens to all conversation going on around him, while he nurses a drink.

All who knew him would agree he was a quiet and soft spoken man who was very generous to even strangers he meets for the very first time. A regular in not just at the NPC, but also at a few other watering holes around town too, Nathan was popular with the regulars.

I never said it to his face before but yes, Nathan was a good man ! I have met both his sons, John and George, 22 and 24, studying in India and Ukraine respectively and his even more shy and quiet wife, Josephine, a staff with JKR, a few times before, but this man Nathan loves to hold any conversation with an arguement with me at most times but always shakes my hands before he leaves for the night. Thus was my relationship with Nathan, a deeply "church-going" man, who I last met and spoke to on the night of Friday 18th. September 2009.

According to his family he complained of breathing difficulties on 20th. Sunday, September, the first day of Raya, and was sent to IJN. He discharged himself after being stablilised with medication and insisted he came home on 24th. Thursday to rest and spend some time at home with his wife. Perhaps he knew something we didn't. And he also gave strict instructions to his closest buddy David, not to inform anyone of his sudden ailment.

Nathan died last night at 10:52pm after being admitted at the University Hospital, of further chest pains and open heart surgery performed in the morning, without regaining conscienceness.

Most will remember Nathan a healthy and humble man who accomodated everyone in conversation.

Friends who gathered late last night upon hearing the sudden death of Nathan raised and knocked a few glasses in Nathan's name !

And to Nathan, on behalf of all your friends at the NPC, I say, we'll miss you bro but you will be there seated at "your corner" in spirit always...cheers to you Nathan wherever you are !

This blog will observe a 48 hour period of silence for my friend Nathan.Godbless !

...show me the money !

2009-09-25T15:14:00.008+08:00

The Malaysians of remote Indian origins are doomed ! Just take a look at the way they can be bought and the way they are sucking-up to the "powers-that-be" and are still insisting on race based parties ! Bloody racists buggers ! ( adapted from here and here )

“We are not being funded by Barisan. But if they give us money, why not? We will take it.
“However, this does not mean that we will compromise our principles.....Dai thamby, did anyone say you are funded by Barisan ? No, but you think we are fools like you ? Thamby... there is no money without compromise la !

What is the real deal of 1Malaysia ? Does it not cater for ALL irrespective of race and religion ?

Hindraf started with claims of being marginalised and a breakaway Hindraf faction, from within headed by former Hindraf national co-ordinator R.S.Thanenthiran, now as president registered Malaysian Makkal Sakthi Party which in turn fell hook, line and sinker....a party that was registered in lightning speed even before you can say wtf !

“We are not being funded by Barisan. But if they give us money, why not? We will take it. “However, this does not mean that we will compromise our principles..... Dai moron, nobody gives money if no compromise la ! Which back-water slum are you from ?

“I have my own plans,” Thenenthiran told The Malaysian Insider when contacted today. “We have to wait and see what my masterplan will be..... hmmm.... MY OWN plans and MY master plan ?? Still talking about MY plans.....yes, good and go enrich yourself first, just like all those others in the now irrelevant MIC, who cares for those foot-soldiers...let them be your pawns ?

“Going to streets may make one popular, but it will not necessarily resolve the problems at hand”, he was reported to have said.....Dai thamby....again you forgot where you got the recognition from in the first place, huh ? Short memory or short of funds ah ?

Here is the reason why I want to marginalise myself from these bigots who still talk of race based parties and will sell their soul to the highest bidder ! Good luck to you and your ilk of bumbling remote Indian origins ! In fact get lost to India......for you RS Thanenthiran....I hope you sleep well !

I remain a Malaysian always !

...like Ceasar's wife ?

2009-09-24T12:18:00.005+08:00

"....Yet in these troubled times when the expenses scandal has shattered confidence in MPs, Ministers and leading political figures need to be, like Caesar's wife, above suspicion."

(read the full story here )

.....can we say the same of our politicians and the current political scenario ?? We have misappropriations and screw-ups of colossal proportions......and yet....."semuanya okay", yes ?

Sigh.....wtf !!!

...let the show begin..... in Bagan Pinang this time !

2009-09-18T14:32:00.014+08:00

Well....here we go again folks....and the PR machinery seem not to waste time and have taken to the road when they fired the first salvo with a "ceramah perdana" 2 nights ago on the 16-9-2009, again coinciding with "Hari Malaysia" with a modest gathering at Kampung Si Rusa on the 4th. mile in Port Dickson to gain a leg-up in the run-up to the Bagan Pinang by-election fixed for the 11th. October 2009 ! This is going to be a very tough battle for the PR and surely the only chance for BN to actually claim victory....as the old saying goes... "a walk in the park" !

But hey folks, this is Malaysia and the year is 2009. People have gotten more it-savvy and educated. Nobody's going to take the rakyat for a "walk in the park".....remember performance now, people first ! BN cannot repeat a "Permatang Pasir" choice of candidate and cannot bank on the many "soldier votes".....not anymore folks, cos the costs of essential goods have hit the roof and only a select few are lapping in wealth. The ordinary citizens are all fully aware of the economic doldrums we are stuck in daily, and mouths have to be fed. So listen carefully folks and vote wisely ! Okay ?

Here are some pics. of the simple folks of Bagan Pinang hungry for any news ....any good news that may renew their faith in a government they trusted and a hope for a better tomorrow.

..... a section of the crowd at the beginning around 9:30pm.....as I made my way through the slowly growing crowd....I'd give the final turn-out in the region of say 1,300....but hey....don't take my word for it, it could be 300 !

I wondered if these kids knew what was going on....but they sat there attentively all evening long.....

and on the stage was ........

just look at the very mixed crowd....any cow-head or beer issues here ?...think not !

....the MP for Seremban, Anthony something.... took to the mike.....and spoke in fluent Bahasa...so then....

....this gentleman surely looked like a foreigner, probably married to the lady on his right and sitting comfortably cross-legged on the dry grass....did he understand a word ? Bahasa was spoken through-out the evening....or I could be very wrong, yes ?

.... or do these people look like they are having a "jolly good" time ? The lady in focus looks like she wished the world would end tomorrow.

.....then Dr. Hatta Ramli took to the mike....was not sure if he was talking of ISA or the "vote-buying" MB Isa .....but he had their attention.....so to speak !

and got the attention of this crowd who came to listen, yes....just listen to what the PR boys had to say.....on national policies affecting their ordinary and miserable lives. Remember folks this is a BN stronghold and it'll take the PR more then just campaigning rhetoric's to win ! No kidding and no bullshitting !!!

...and this men came to officially deliver an envelope full of membership forms to Anwar.....probably en bloc from an MIC division....and maybe have had enough of Samy breaking out in songs everytime he thought he won ! Now these are the people Anwar should be wary off, right ? Haven't we seen enough of "frogs" or "plants" ? Read that moron Hassan Ali or that Bar Council bombardier Zul ? They bring in their old shit into PR and after getting comfy, they'll start crapping like they used to do in their old regime, yes ? And Anwar has a tendency to attract these types ! So be warned where they're positioned Anwar...if you know "what's good for gander may not be so good for the geese" afterall !

...this group of SB's (special bunch) that had to leave the celebration at the ABM house early just to be here at the ceramah in the "blue blitz".....to listen to this man feature below, taking on the might of the BN and at the same time expressing confidence if the fight was fair and transparent.....particularly the 5,000 odd postal votes or one-third of the electorate in this next by-election.....sigh...!

There you have it folks....the first of many ceramahs has kicked-off while the ever mighty BN is busy toying with the number 1....curiously Malaysians have a penchant for the number ONE....1Malaysia, F1, H1N1 and a host of other No.1's....read my earlier postings nearly 3 years ago here and here for a good "week-end" humour !

And to all my Muslim brothers and sisters I wish you a blessed

"Hari Raya Aidil Fitri " !

Maaf, Zahir Batin !

Cheers !

Happy Malaysia Day !..ABM launch (16-9-2009)

2009-09-17T14:34:00.008+08:00

It had been raining the whole evening and as I got to the ABM House at No. 66, Bukit Damansara, late as usual around 7:20pm. the rain had ceased to a slight drizzle and I was surprised I could not find a parking space....rows and rows of cars lined on both sides of the roads on all sides and as I walked through the gates I was struck in awe at the sight of so many people, both young and old and boy !....I thought to myself.... "this is Malaysia !" Yes today was the official launch of the Anak Bangsa Malaysia website coinciding cleverly with Malaysia Day !

Below are some scenes of happy Malaysians endorsing Anak Bangsa Malaysia and celebrating Malaysia Day in true patriotic fashion ! Some pictures need captions...while others simply don't. Click on pic for larger viewing. Enjoy !

...this man above needs to be mentioned...yes, the wild man of politics, Haris Ibrahim(right) who selflessly had mooted this idea and from a document long buried in dust, deep in the BN government's "irrelevant suggestions" vault drafted by one Dr. Jomo many years back called the "Peoples' Declaration" and tirelessly worked on that document with a hand-picked core team to realise and present you with what we have today......the ABM movement.

ahhh....the ever pleasant and bubbly Lita...

....the muslim brethren breaking their fast first.....

and sales of memorabilia.....t-shirts and what-nots...

hmmmm....even celebrity artists and men of cloth dined together.....

and these young and curious minds picking an old geezer's on issues affecting their future....

...is Danny "DelCapo" saying something ?

wear it if it fits you, Datuk.... Ambiga looking for the right words to get the message across, I guess !

....Kelly and Mila setting up a "3 step" blogspot for Jac......the latest entry in the blogging circuit, perhaps ?

and the trusty helpers.....registration of attendees......

and the "rastaman" promoting his latest cd's......

.....anyone familiar here ?....huh ??

....or here ?...

...check out the honky-man....Boom, together Black with his own composition of the new "Anak Bangsa Malaysia" anthem ! I must say it was catchy and has a very good beat.....and it is definitely not plagiarised or borrowed ! Have a listen....I'm sure some blogs have already up-loaded it !

So there you go folks....now you might have missed out alot, yes ?...and Happy belated Malaysia Day !

Noah and his Ark...a Malaysian story !

2009-09-16T15:58:00.005+08:00

In the year 2009, the Lord came unto Noah, who was now living in Malaysia, and said, "Once again, the earth has become wicked and over-populated, and I see the end of all flash before me. Build another Ark and save 2 of every living thing along with a few good humans".

He gave Noah the blueprints, saying: "You have 6 months to build the Ark before I will start the unending rain for 40 days and 40 nights".

Six months later, the Lord looked down and saw Noah weeping in his yard but no Ark. "Noah!" he roared, "I'm about to start the rain! Where is the Ark ?"

"Forgive me, Lord", begged Noah, "but things have changed. First I need to have a BUMIPUTRA PARTNER who is linked to UMNO then I needed a building permit from DBKL and also have to pay under-counter money to get the permit . Then I've been arguing with the BOMBA inspector about the need for a sprinkler system. My neighbors complained to newspapers of the height of the ark I was going to build and the next day it was in the headlines claiming that I've violated the neighborhood building by-laws that my Ark is exceeding the height limitations. I appealed to the magistrate and it was approved. The Opposition took advantage of the situation and said I was a government crony and did nasty things with my face on the Internet I don’t know how they superimposed my face on a naked body with a naked MP and posted it on the U-Tube. Oh Lord you are the "all knowing" and YOU know I did not take the photos of the MP".

"Then there was a another stop work order even before I could start work. The MACC or Badan Cegah Rasuah arrested me for pornography. I talked to a lawyer who looks like Ambitah Bachan, talks like him, acts like him but is not him ...said he knows the Chief Justice and the Prime Minister the Apa ..nama ... and can clear my name but I have to buy them tickets to Australia."

"After clearing my name ...I had to again go to the DBKL Appeals Board for a decision to allow me to build the Ark. Then government after approving the plans said I must use only SIRIM approved goods and must buy from their list of CLASS F contractors which are 15 times more expensive than the local chinaman hardware shop."

"Then the TNB and JPJ demanded a bond be posted for the future costs of moving power lines and other overhead obstructions, to clear the passage for the Ark 's move to the sea. I told them that the sea would be coming to us but they would hear nothing of it. Getting the wood was another problem. SUKHAM and the JABATAN HUTAN NEGARA said there's a ban on cutting local trees in order to save the orang utan. I tried to convince SUKHAM and JABATAN HUTAN NEGARA that I needed the wood to save the orang hutan – but they said no go. When I started gathering the animals, JAKIM and an Animal Rights group sued me. JAKIM said I cannot put the chickens and the pigs next to each other as it WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED HALAL and The Animal Rights group insisted that I was confining wild animals against their will. They argued the accommodations were too restrictive, and it was cruel and inhumane to put so many animals in a confined space."

"Then JABATAN KERJA RAYA and JABATAN KAJIAN dan GALIAN ruled that I couldn't build the Ark until they had conducted An Environmental Impact study on your proposed flood. I'm still trying to resolve a complaint with the Human Rights Commission on how many bumiputra contractors I'm supposed to hire for my building crew. JABATAN IMMIGRASI and RELA are checking the status of most of the people who want to work. The trade unions say I can't use my sons- that's child labor ! They insist I have to hire only union workers with Ark-building experience."

"As I started to CLEAR THE AREA TO BUILD THE ARK, 6 gangsters came and demanded for protection money. And said they will control the area for selling of drugs and prostitution to my workers. When I complained to the POLIS.... the next day the IGP of POLIS sent an ASP who came in full uniform, unfortunately he also happens to be one from the six gangsters who were demanding protection money and doubled my protection fee. Then there was a by-election and I was forced to be an UMNO member to get my permits approved and made to pay a donation to the Barisan candidate in the so called spirit of MUHIBBAH. Other wise he will make my life difficult if I did not and insisted I was already a member."

"Every department I turn to is asking what they call “kopi duit". I calculated that if I had to pay all the so called “kopi duit” and give the donation the cost to build the ARK will be 20 times higher…so I refused to give them the kopi duit" as I am faithful to you Oh Lord ! Then some top level politicians were very disappointed with me for not giving donations and called me a "murtad" but I told them my name was Noah and not "murtad" but they got very angry and said they have connections."

"Suddenly I am a suspect behind the murder of the Mongolian lady because the place where she was murdered happened to be on the land where I am going to make the Ark and was arrested. To make matters worse, the Jabatan HASIL seized all my assets, claiming I'm trying to leave the country illegally with endangered species. I have just been released from ISA. So, forgive me, Lord, but it would take at least 10 years for me to finish this Ark."

Suddenly the skies above cleared, and the sun began to shine, and a rainbow stretched across the sky.

Noah looked up in wonder and asked, "You mean you're not going to destroy the world my Lord ?"

"'No," said the Lord......."It is already done "..... "The Malaysian Government beat me to it !"

* a note of thanks to JohnW. for this post ! Cheers John !

Meme:Save Yvonne's sight

2009-09-15T18:21:00.005+08:00

I don't know how this works but hey!.... who am I to go against the wind ? See my friend Nuraina sent a comment and said I'm tagged !

Now as far as I know we once participated in this "tag-game" thinggy a long time ago. Only this time I'm supposed to do a meme....whatever that is ! And on someone who is "just a bit unwell" called Yvonne Foong and either one of us ever met her before but am hearing plenty off, lately ! With a long list of instructions and "do's and don't's" I somehow got lost along the way. So taking a short-cut here I'm linking you dear readers, back to Nuraina's post and also to Yvonne Foongs blog.

Me, I've just put that book on my side-bar for all to see and please do go over to the 2 links to fully understand the urgency. There must be a reason and a unseen hand guiding us all to help Yvonne in any small way we can. I just did !

And oh...yes, I'm supposed to list 3 things I wish to see in my life-time !......so here goes;

No.1 wish: Peace to my family and friends and the dream of anak bangsa Malaysia realised as we live with love and respect for each other without "peeking" at the color of the skin of the person we are talking/dealing with.

No.2 wish: Striking it "filthy rich"....hey why not...I need the money...then maybe I can do something bigger and better for Yvonne , yes ?.... and last but not the least...

No.3 wish: A change of governance/regime in the next GE and who'd hopefully make my No.1 wish above come true for your kids and mine and for the next generation !

Is that wishing for too much, huh ??? Well.....Nuraina....you had to ask !!

Cheers dear !

..hey...look who's talking now !

2009-09-11T17:35:00.011+08:00

Hey...look who's telling who to shut-up ! Hahahaha..... This is the "big tent" circus and looks like a "free-for-all" in the home-run of the elections in the now already "irrelevant" MIC ! All are welcome to share their 2 cts. worth....no matter how irrelevant you are ! ( here )

Stacked with law-suits by the millions of ringgits and diplomacy ( you might want to add..."what diplomacy "...yes ?? ) is out the window ! This is a last minute desperate bid to wash as much dirty linen in public for all to see ! This is WAR !!!.....Samy...oh Samy....what will you do to stay in power ? Even your old "buddies" have come out with swords drawn and going for your scalp....ahemmmm......pardon me....that bush you "think" is hair !! Hahaha !!! And the world is yet again watching US !!! Yiiiikes !

It is going to be a very interesting election come tomorrow ( get the FRU and water-cannons on full alert !) and by then more "shit's gonna hit the ceiling" as it spills out of closets by midnight tonight ! Hehehe !

And I've got a friend who's vying for a seat in the CWC !

Here's wishing "Kajang" Ananthan the very best of luck ! He's gonna need it....sigh !!!

...if a picture paints a thousands words.....

2009-09-09T16:11:00.002+08:00
