Should not such subjects about learning and respecting your neighbours' custom, religion and tradition  be taught in schools and in other racists &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"supremacy"&lt;/span&gt; programs like BTN and NS ?? Who's to be blamed for this Perkasa mutt Ibrahim's ignorance, deliberate or otherwise ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also strongly suspect this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'froggie'&lt;/span&gt;

I'll vote for that government who can assure me that I can leave my house unlocked and no one will walk in and ransack my it. I'll vote for that government who can guarantee that a policeman is doing his job patrolling the streets and not hiding around bends to stop me and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"extort"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; me for not wearing a seat-belt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck, I could go on and on and on but tell me honestly.....when was the last time you actually  saw  a cop chasing a snatch thief much less see a cop anywhere near a robbery ? I have heard about snatch thieves being beaten to a pulp by passer-bys before handing over to the cops and that's real street justice if you ask me  but our boys-in-blue right  are now too busy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"implementing"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  the latest Road Department ruling on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"back-passengers buckling-up"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; then catching &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"mat-rempit"&lt;/span&gt; snatch thieves. And these scum-bags, who most times are in twos on motorbikes, are so farking daring in their bold activities that they'll put our cops to shame at the lightning speed they get-a-way ! Reading reference at &lt;a href="http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2009/11/hot-hot-chicken-shit.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"hot hot chicken shit" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing nice to say of these government servants who are supposed to be  our guardians and our neighborhoods. Of course you'll say there are some good guys in the forces too.... but damn, who gives a rat's ass for such talk ? Everyday hundreds of snatch thefts happen and only a fraction gets reported and nobody gets caught, so ??  Every month these cops collect their pay shamelessly without flinching that they did not earn that money for their integrity or honesty but had sat on their asses the entire month doing NOTHING !! Don't they have any dignity in carrying out their duty and jobs ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And all this rot is because our police have forgotten who their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"real"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; masters are....we the tax-paying rakyat ! I must blame this shit on nearly 50 years of BN rule and the arm-twisting and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"held-at ransom" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;tactics from the time of that old, senile and thoroughly corrupted Tun. I did write in my earlier post &lt;a href="http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2010/02/shame-on-you-coppers.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"shame on you bad cops"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;....about what I think of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it  so easy to believe the police never cared why they joined the forces for. Maybe it was for the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"perks and favours" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;they get when stopping foreign workers by road sides to check for their passports or to hide behind bushes to spot motorists on the cell phone or without safety belts. That is the impression I have of our overnment servants in blue....and surely many out there agree with me but are too ashamed to admit it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So going by this shit in our neighborhood alone ,I say ABU....anything but UMNO ! Yes, once UMNO is thrown out of Putrajaya, then maybe.....just maybe, these servants-in-blue will learn to serve the people who pay for their food, their  holidays, their kids' education and the cloth on their back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until then I'll keep my options on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"who to vote"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;

Maybe the contractor was stream-lining the numero uno to appease our FLOM who is so keen on all those aerobic exercises she indulges in or maybe that the contractor had run short of funds to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"fatten" &lt;/span&gt;the all important number Malaysians especially in BN are so fixated with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But my guess is, 7 is that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"back-door" &lt;/span&gt;local bred chief minister's  Zamri's  favorite or lucky number. I really thought 7 was what I was actually looking at and never  the number 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well maybe Najib has never set foot on this island cos if he did, he would be so insulted  and infuriated by this  thamby for making such a mockery of Najib's all important  1this and 1that !&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You tell me.....if I should be forgiven for saying it's a 7 !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Cheers  and a &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"H&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);"&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;N&lt;/span&gt;E&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 255);"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;  &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Y&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 102, 204);"&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;to all&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;**click on pic for larger view.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-8683567688241167176?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/8683567688241167176/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=8683567688241167176&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8683567688241167176'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8683567688241167176'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/12/latest-7malaysia.html' title='Latest: 7Malaysia !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mHET8Q4_Ajg/Tv29l3LwrYI/AAAAAAAAE6A/RZuKOHxK_q8/s72-c/256.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-3494038619581393437</id><published>2011-12-18T21:08:00.016+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T22:47:11.924+08:00</updated><title type='text'>with no CONSULTATION whatsoever...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GhMvUgU6eaQ/Tu38Q4NYmyI/AAAAAAAAE50/CdpcrG-KgKA/s1600/SMJK%2BBukit%2BNanas.png"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 156px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GhMvUgU6eaQ/Tu38Q4NYmyI/AAAAAAAAE50/CdpcrG-KgKA/s320/SMJK%2BBukit%2BNanas.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687479271335435042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C_pXLstQUY8/Tu37hGBdAPI/AAAAAAAAE5o/UW3VcgN9pLw/s1600/original%2Bbadge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 123px; height: 140px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C_pXLstQUY8/Tu37hGBdAPI/AAAAAAAAE5o/UW3VcgN9pLw/s320/original%2Bbadge.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687478450409767154" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The RAHMAN prophecy certainly rings true  and nigh this Christmas. And Najib , being a beneficiary of a Christian missionary school education himself, will  be the last Prime Minister from UMNO/BN. That's the way I am feeling already.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;I attended a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"rare"&lt;/span&gt; mass this evening and at the end of the mass a young priest read a short  but crucial message from the Archbishop of Kuala Lumpur to a packed cathedral from all over the world and from all walks of life, regarding&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt; Datin Seri Zavirah Mohd Shaari,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; a Muslim, who has been  appointed  principle to the SMK Bukit Nanas Convent (&lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/unease-grows-over-muslim-head-for-top-convent-school/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) ! I remind you, the key words stressed were &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;" of grave and serious trampling of religious rights of privately owned schools"&lt;/span&gt; and as, in the title of this post. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;PM Najib as usual will play dumb because he has no idea what his cabinet or Muhiyuddin is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"cooking"&lt;/span&gt;. And 1million Catholics have a date and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"an axe to grind" &lt;/span&gt;with Najib and UMNO come the next General Election. Wonder if, in the same vein, what  UMNO would do if a non-Malay is appointed perhaps, to be the next prime minister of Malaysia ?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This issue is certainly an added bonus for conversation at  all open houses this Christmas ! Way to go Rahman....erhhh.... Najib ! Just like to wish you and the missus a Merry Christmas ! Take care of yourself, okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;And read ( &lt;a href="http://steadyaku-steadyaku-husseinhamid.blogspot.com/2011/12/smk-convent-bukit-nanas-pray-tell-me.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) what another Muslim &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"orang lama"&lt;/span&gt; blogger writes on this topic !

His target is none other then Lim Guan Eng, the chief minister himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This simpleton must have had a very violent and deprived childhood to be so vile and uncouth. My first guess is, he must have lost out heavily on a lot of projects dished out on a platter to him by the previous government and  is now facing lawsuits from uncompleted project which came to a halt when the new government scrapped all crony favoured contracts of the past government. and introduced a level playing field and transparency. Then again, he being who he is and bankrupt of ideas, need as much free publicity as he can garner to climb up the ranks in his puny political career in an equally dubious UMNO. He comes on as a strong runner-up only to that frog, Ibrahim Ali of Perkasa and the father of corruption and racism, the MahaTun if gauged with a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"looney-meter" &lt;/span&gt;for absolute stupidity&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is also the Komtar Traders Association vice-president apart from being the chairman of  Pertubuhan Suara Anak-Anak Malaysia and a host of other silly NGO groups and is always surrounded with young and like-minded suspect &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Malays" &lt;/span&gt;( I'll give you the benefit to judge for yourselves) and an &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"untouchable"&lt;/span&gt; to the boys-in-blue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was one of two  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Malays"&lt;/span&gt; ( the other being Perkasa Youth of Penang) who demanded former Bar Council president Ambiga's citizenship revoked ( &lt;a href="http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/07/05/malay-ngos-want-ambigas-citizenship-revoked/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;) for spear-heading the July &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Bersih"&lt;/span&gt; walk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again he was the rouge who chanted anti racial slur and disrupted traffic as usual after Friday prayers  (&lt;a href="http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/11/30/perkasa-mamak-group-bring-traffic-to-a-standstill/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt; here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) while the cops looked the other way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In July he caused a stir with bras and panties ( &lt;a href="http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Malaysia/Story/A1Story20110730-291836.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he made another stupid publicity stunt ala MG Pandithan ( &lt;a href="http://www.gotopenang.com/content/mohd-ghani-businessman-komtar-penang-brought-coffin-adun-komtar-ng-wei-aik"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now with this latest cheap and shitty stunt ( &lt;a href="http://www.freemalaysiakini.com/?p=6048"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) we can confirm what this village idiot is made off and where he's heading to.....if not to the mental hospital, flushed into the sewers and out to the Jelutong river!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this cretin is the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"hired"&lt;/span&gt; product of UMNO, a party Najib claims as moderate, modern and unifying, yes ? With these type of  crass creatures vying for party post to govern us, UMNO is doomed and Najib will be dumped come the next GE ! And the favour of who to vote next is nicely cut out for the Opposition. Go figure Mr. Prime Minister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing's for sure, he's definitely somehow related to that old and senile ex-prime minister the Tun. I can see the resemblance somewhere or they could both be from the same &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"kampung" &lt;/span&gt; back in their native Kerala  but I'd also bet my last ringgit, the old &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"paw-peh, paw-peh"&lt;/span&gt; geezer  would say otherwise and that he cannot remember this particular village idiot from Adam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Need I say more ?

December 2011, was instead a gathering round some Christmas trees in the atrium of the KLCC, no thanks for the advice of the learned lawyers of the KLCC advisory body. Correct me if I am wrong, but should not an injunction from any court name the individual persons and not a loose gathering of people in an injunction ? Maybe there was no injunction in the first place but then who's going to know anyways, right ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were about a hundred donning tees in bright and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Bersih"&lt;/span&gt; colour and maybe a few hundreds more who were in muftis with streaks of yellow somewhere in the design, but nevertheless they were there in numbers and gave their support wholeheartedly.

With  this tongue a politician will promise you mostly heaven and make all  your problems look like they would be solved the minute you voted him in. With this tongue he would tell you the sweetest things you want to hear more so if he's got everything to lose if he lost an election. More so if his loss is blamed, in domino effect, the fall of the entire party and history, re-written.  This is the double-speak tongue a politician of the BN will use at will. For nearly 54 years the lies and the double-speak has been churned out continuously that I want to puke everytime I hear one of them speak now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BN a party that thrived on lies, nepotism, cronyism, corruption and savagery and even unleashed fear into the hearts of it's citizens  should they vote otherwise. A party that thinks they have brain-washed the mind-sets of the rural folks into think they are the "saviors" to this country. This party is nearing extinction with it's crass behavior of its uncouth members, hundreds of scandals from robbing or siphoning public coffers of billions of  tax-payers ringgits, absolute corruption to abuse of power by the authorities, raping the Judiciary and Police and spreading racism and to even murder. And we the rakyat are to be blamed time and again for being &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"sold"&lt;/span&gt; by this double-speak party.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now take a look of just a few examples in the clips below.&lt;br /&gt;Somehow I notice most of the video clips featuring Najib and that old  racist , the Tun, have been &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"spammed"&lt;/span&gt; by cyber-troopers.

Never has the Malaysian police department been up to their nose in shitty and  dirty corruption  then at the present time !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These guardians of our lives and protectors of our neighbourhood and streets are the very crooks we tax-paying citizens have to fear most ! They have tarnished the good name of law and order they so solemnly swore to up-hold without fear or favour ! Of course you might argue there are some good cops still and I'm not being fair to paint them all in one brush, no ? But the facts and there's  just too many of them, far out-weighs  whatever good a few cops can do or have done. There is no redemption in sight and all credibility is eroded. Finito !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police brutality and deaths in the once very sacred hollow of their stations are common occurrence. Bribes and threats go hand-in-hand. Laziness and greed are qualities bred with years of service. Serving and sucking-up to the affluent is business as usual. Denying the lowly educated and  poor is   also okay in a days work. Cover-ups and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"fixing"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; a wrong can also be bargained for the right price.

Sorry we don't buy that  shit anymore ! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such is the SOP of our officers-in-blue and the rakyat is pissed off beyond belief and have not one thing nice to say of them. Poor excuse for human beings, that's what they are.

That being the adamant view of the Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, the price of a pariah's vote is worth a bottle of whisky....not even a Black Label  but the not so famous Famous Grouse ! ( read &lt;a href="http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/11/08/its-raining-goodies-in-johor/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bribing is second nature in BN. Corruption is a way of life in BN. And government servants who are paid with the rakyat's tax ringgits are but pawns in the BN game plan, can be bought with a bottle of whisky ? Great smoking thunders roll as it's raining Deepavali hampers in Batu Pahat as UMNO desperately tries to win the hearts of an &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"outcast"&lt;/span&gt; minority for their votes to stay in power and continue buggering us for the next 50 years !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These gifts are first bought with tax-payers money and secondly any form of bribery is a sin in God/Allah's eyes. So what is the Muslim DPM trying to convey here ? It's not a sin to offer or receive bribes as long as it is seen to be coming from their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"masters"&lt;/span&gt; in UMNO ? And the bribing of  a very noble profession like teachers is the moral thing to do, Mr. Muhyiddin Yassin ?  And this other  village simpleton from Batu Pahat MP Mohd Puad Zarkashi thinks he's got the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pariahs"&lt;/span&gt; by their balls to vote for them ? Can you think of anything cheaper then this stunt ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Damn will these &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pendatangs"&lt;/span&gt; be if they can be insulted as cheap drunkards and still suck-up to these bigots and vote them in, in the next general elections ! Damn too will they be if they cannot see through the corrupt laden manoeuvrings of  UMNO and demand that totally discriminating  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Interlok"&lt;/span&gt; crap they  call literature to be removed immediately !&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wake up bloody Malaysians of remote Indian origins.....now is the time to hit back. Hit these racists hard and what better way then to out-vote and kick them out of Putrajaya for good  and maybe......just maybe you'd get your place in the sun, as equals with dignity and  respect as you stand amongst all Malaysians, proudly as Malaysians !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for me....I like my 12 year old single malt straight with one cube of ice please......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheeers !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-4964432488392761566?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/4964432488392761566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=4964432488392761566&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4964432488392761566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4964432488392761566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/11/price-of-pariahs-vote.html' title='the price of a pariah&apos;s vote......!'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QNnbpm3j9lA/TrvlbRszBmI/AAAAAAAAEzo/oqBUHzvK_tE/s72-c/bp.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-4045308991648276008</id><published>2011-11-08T12:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T12:24:54.825+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I got only one word - SHOCKING !</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Wwb3ql4XmE" allowfullscreen="" width="560" frameborder="0" height="315"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-4045308991648276008?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/4045308991648276008/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=4045308991648276008&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4045308991648276008'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4045308991648276008'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-got-only-one-word-shocking.html' title='I got only one word - SHOCKING !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/8Wwb3ql4XmE/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-177231973561860007</id><published>2011-10-29T21:47:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-29T23:43:54.402+08:00</updated><title type='text'>nambikai ??.....what's that Mr. PM ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5Iu8Yh20dxM/TqwaS9yUmnI/AAAAAAAAEzQ/yceqNCGRRTQ/s1600/big%2Bkeris.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 115px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5Iu8Yh20dxM/TqwaS9yUmnI/AAAAAAAAEzQ/yceqNCGRRTQ/s320/big%2Bkeris.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668934944078207602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Before 2008, nearly 80% of the Indians in the country had backed the  ruling party and their votes were considered a “fixed deposit”.

Anything and everything circles around sex. Sex is such a great seller of news in our country that anything remotely &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"sexual"&lt;/span&gt; hits the papers/blogs before you can blink your eye-lid. Whether it is heterosexual or homosexual or  perverted sex, who gives a shit ? The more sordid the better and the bigger the  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"player"&lt;/span&gt; the juicier the news. Sex is a campaign &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"ceremah" &lt;/span&gt;hit topic !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our politicians, at any given time, are engaged in some kind of sex either physically or verbally somewhere. Even in the august house sex and sexual discrimination ( that animal Dung errhh....Bung comes to mind !) is always a popular and laughing matter ! No, the judiciary too has it's fair share of carnal knowledge in chambers. The police and prisons personnel &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"negotiate"&lt;/span&gt; their share of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"forced sex"&lt;/span&gt; ( ask those pretty ladies who have been &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"propositioned"&lt;/span&gt; at road-blocks and police stations or  the many sexy female  illegal &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"dolls"&lt;/span&gt; holed up in detention centres....but of cause &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"brotherhood"&lt;/span&gt; is a strong bond and denial is instant, cos no &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"victim"&lt;/span&gt; wants to walk on thin ice fingering these &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"predators" &lt;/span&gt;for fear of back-lash, right ?   Sex is the most sought after medium in transactions or to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"buy"&lt;/span&gt; favours in businesses with the authorities apart from that obvious cash inducement. What are we thinking  of Malaysians ?? Sexual favours are most welcomed here. Fornication is cool and easy for those in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"POWER" &lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do we have to put up with the daily grinding of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pelvis against pelvis or sometimes butt"&lt;/span&gt; to run this country ? It is so shameful to read day after day about who humped who and and who was caught humping where with whom ! Get a life people, there's more to just sexual rompings. We gotta run a country here, not talking about someone else's sex life or preferences  and endlessly harping on sex hoping the real and present problem, of putting food on the table and improving our lives and neighbour-hoods, will go away !  Damn ! It was even rumoured that our prime minister knew the sexual preferences of one dead Mongolian model. But that is all hearsay, no ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you go people, get a life and stop bitching about who our leaders  are screwing right now. The fact is even while you are thinking about it, you ARE  being screwed-blind by our politicians as they take you for a ride to nowhere !  There are a hundred  things you can do, but lets start with getting rid of these  holier-then-thou hypocrites and sex-mongers who double as politicians and clean up this sex-starved government. If it is possible let's castrate this scourge from our lives and start voting-in people with the rakyat's interest foremost and with the highest respect for every citizen regardless of race or religion, on their road to fame and  greatness !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. One sicko friend remarked jokingly that if yours truly  were caught screwing on camera in some private room, tomorow's papers/blogs will scream  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Munir caught fcuking......again"&lt;/span&gt; ! Poor Munir, but that was said in jest surely..... yours truly is certainly  better looking, yes ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-7651708397000274074?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/7651708397000274074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=7651708397000274074&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/7651708397000274074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/7651708397000274074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/10/more-sex-please-were-malaysians.html' title='more sex please , we&apos;re Malaysians !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fjKfRP5adfI/TpRUVCvML8I/AAAAAAAAEyU/wnggELRqXUM/s72-c/sex.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-242314919802465180</id><published>2011-10-07T22:11:00.009+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-08T00:34:49.529+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bridget....oh Bridget !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Bz2mTvpKqs/To8kJDEq-dI/AAAAAAAAEyE/sVuofPFNamQ/s1600/najib.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 132px; height: 91px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Bz2mTvpKqs/To8kJDEq-dI/AAAAAAAAEyE/sVuofPFNamQ/s320/najib.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660782994490325458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I heard the 2012 Budget speech by our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"cool"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; prime minister who spoke at length of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"goodies, goodies and more goodies"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and if this is not a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"buy election" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;speech then I don't know what it is ! Some points really irked me bad so go and read the full text of his speech  &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/10/7/nation/20111007184450&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was somewhat perplexed when he started the speech and at point no.5 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;After 53 budgets, 10 Five Year Development Plans, three Outline  Perspective Plans, all under the umbrella of the New Econom&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;ic Policy,  1971-1990, National Development Policy, 1991-2000 and the National  Vision Policy, 2001-2010, today we continue our journey together towards  becoming a developed and high-income nation......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and then later on Subsidies he slyly injects&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; subsidies, incentives and assistance totaling RM33.2bil will  still be continued&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;......huh ?....what can I say huh, to his administration guided by the philosophy of 1Malaysia &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;“People's First, Performance Now.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;...subsidies or to put it bluntly &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;"crutches"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  for a nation even after 54 years ? Man  oh man,  is this ever going to stop ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for government servants he has promised an additional half-month bonus and RM500 for pensioners....hmmm...timely I'd say and let me see, Najib clearly needs the comforting knowledge of at least knowing he's got his servants voting for his party, or will they ? Never mind about intergrity and dedication in job ethics when they perform in their duties towards the tax-paying rakyat ....just keep them happy, at any cost and be  assured of their vote, sir ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ycsOFhcgIvU/To8n6NPXJiI/AAAAAAAAEyM/Kl85CN16Cq0/s1600/Taiping.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 139px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ycsOFhcgIvU/To8n6NPXJiI/AAAAAAAAEyM/Kl85CN16Cq0/s320/Taiping.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660787137567991330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And at the mention of heritage tourism development in Taiping in the Northern Corridor I protest and want to go ballistic. Just leave my town alone. I don't want your goons to touch the picturesque and majestic beauty of my Lake Gardens and it's  lovely canopy of 150 year old trees that  dips its branches of shoots lightly on the waters of the lakes to be replaced by plastic red, yellow, purple and blue palm trees and what-not just like what that moron Toyo did in his &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"eye-city"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and Shah Alam municipality !

Just let it be......comprendo ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last point is of the RM90million allocation for the provision of basic necessities for the  190,000 Orang Asli nationwide with the majority residing in Pahang and Perak. Hello...Mr. PM, what about our Orang Asal in Sabah and Sarawak ? Nothing for them ? Are they not included in our national budget ? No deal for them because they are not the original people of Malaysia ? This RM90 million works out to about RM 473.00 per Orang Asli. That's all ? And that is IF they are getting any real money at all while some sneaky &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"napoleon"&lt;/span&gt; clasps and rubs his palms in glee ! Poor chaps......our original natives of this land will always be kept below poverty lines and in the foot-hills far from civilisation lest they know their rights and start demanding their share of the spoils !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for the title of this post...that was what I thought I saw on Reena's fb this morning.....hahahaha !&lt;br /&gt;Have a nice week-end folks....I know I won't as I heard the price of cigarettes have gone up too !

And more importantly it is the police who are the real shameless free-loaders who collect their wages monthly of the tax-payers hard earned ringgits and sit on their ass waiting for directives from their UMNO masters to disrupt and make arrests at any civil society activity as long as it has not got the BN's blessing, right ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if CM Lim Guan Eng had indeed criticised the alarming state of  criminal activities in Johor, at least he's got balls to criticise his fellow CMs instead of covering their asses in a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"adik-beradik"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; fashion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This country has gone crazy where crime is concerned as snatch-thieves, muggers, burglars and mat-rempits boldly RULE the streets in any given state and town ! Shouldn't the police be blamed entirely for all the mess ?? I certainly will put the blame squarely on the totally lazy attitude of these trigger-happy government servants  in blue who abuse their powers absolutely and throw the blame on uncooperative citizens for not &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"tipping"&lt;/span&gt; them off to solve  petty and neighbourhood crimes effectively. Seeing why we need to live in a gated or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"caged"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; neighbourhood explains, yes ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if it concerns a big-shot &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"datuk"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; or any BN napoleon living in a fancy address who lodges a police report, you can be sure these boys-in-blue will come running instantly to the doorsteps to take reports  or round up a few suspects immediately and throw the book on them and complete the investigations within a day or so and case solved and closed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how we have all read so many times and on so many different months and years apart in the papers of a certain &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"mamak"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; gang being completely wiped-out. And year after year they have wiped-out the same gang and closed the case. Mamak gang has clones, perhaps ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"bad-mouthing"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; remarks of Guan Eng.....chief ministers, like all other government servants should be given incentives and rewards for daring to finger a fellow chief minister without fear and favour. That is the only way to go in a civil society as they too are duty-bound and answerable to the tax-paying citizens as only in a civilised state can the citizens be free to walk the streets without fear of snatch-thieves, muggers and mat-rempits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Way to go Guan Eng.... the citizens and especially the tourists in Penang are more free to venture out further without fear of  these scumbag snatch-thieves,muggers and mat-rempits any time of day ! The police in Penang are maybe a bit more "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;citizen conscious"&lt;/span&gt; and patrol the streets then their counter-parts  everywhere else who are hiding behind bushes to catch speeding motorists and cell-phone using drivers to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"negotiate"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;

So who needs a society with our Muslim brethren with arms or fingers or pricks missing from petty snatch-thieving &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"mat-rempits" &lt;/span&gt;to randy dandy romeos and shaming and stoning in public those who were caught enjoying a pint or two of that wonderful golden ale and wagered on sports like Toto, Magnum and DaMaChai  while the thousands of  corrupt crimes committed in high places from the dictatorial era of the old Tun for 22 over long years still continue to enjoy the spoils of their ill-gotten wealth humming to the tune of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Can't touch these".... &lt;/span&gt;then I say, screw you PAS and screw you too, shit-stirrer par excellence, the now irrelevant and former  PM, the MahaTun !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hudud is seen to justify the means of a few who want to  play God/Allah over the lesser of  Muslims mortals as  non-Muslims or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"infidels"&lt;/span&gt; like me have absolute immunity from persecution under that same hudud in a syariah court, no ? See I do not even use capital letters for this hudud or syariah because it is not a law this country was founded upon long before our independence from the English but  with all due respect to the Prophet, only a recently adopted old Arabic &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"desert ruling"&lt;/span&gt; fashioned by a few mullahs influencing  our Islamic scholars aka&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "juara-kampungs"&lt;/span&gt; with their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"bogeyman's" &lt;/span&gt;deterrent and nothing else ! We here live in a plural and modern society. So PAS, stick your hudud in Arabia and keep it there !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's continue to stick to good ole English Common Law because like it or not morons, every law and even our Federal Constitution in this country is borrowed/copied/fashioned/translated after our former  colonial masters' English Laws. If we intend to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"localise"&lt;/span&gt; anything let's first find a word for that English acronym UMNO first !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had nothing original to work with from then, because we were built with such a good mixture of diverse cultures, customs and religious back-grounds, so there Malaysians....live with it !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-6300898332903327050?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/6300898332903327050/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=6300898332903327050&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6300898332903327050'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6300898332903327050'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/09/hudud-lawok-for-you-moron.html' title='hudud law....ok for you, moron ?'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WtUZnlXNWsg/Tn7AGTkomKI/AAAAAAAAExc/25_1o2CIhLQ/s72-c/hudud.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-3576288305180396286</id><published>2011-09-24T09:35:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-24T09:39:45.158+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Knight of the Legion of Honour</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dWFt7RZt8KA/Tn0z92t33pI/AAAAAAAAExU/LYNlSmQcltk/s1600/ambiga2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dWFt7RZt8KA/Tn0z92t33pI/AAAAAAAAExU/LYNlSmQcltk/s320/ambiga2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5655733844800167570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Knight of the Legion of Honour.....that's what it says !

What happens to all those still awaiting their day in court but are still in  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Rumah Tumpangan Kamunting"&lt;/span&gt; ?  Does this also mean they will be freed without a case immediately ? What about the charges ? Will they be dropped too or transferred to the 2 new laws ? What about the 2 NEW laws to be enacted  after the ISA  1960 repeal ? Will they be the ISA in a new packaging ? Why 2 laws to replace 1 draconian law ? Is the EO completely being repealed or is there another &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"prawn underneath the noddle"&lt;/span&gt; (do your own translation in Bahasa please ! ) gift ? And what about the section 27 of Police Act 1967 over-ruling the Federal Constitution ? Can meh or just talk only ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the Prime Minister has announced ( &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/9/16/nation/20110916070850&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"conditional" &lt;/span&gt;gifts of changes which are yet to be tabled in Parliament read very carefully below of what we bargained for all from those many many times many of us  held  lit-candles in silent  prayer at peaceful assemblies but were chased and some manhandled and arrested by Najib's bullyboys-in-blue ;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&amp;gt;The Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960 will be repealed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;-  In its place, two new laws will be enacted to safeguard peace and order  the detention period will be reduced and can only be extended by the  courts, except in cases involving terrorism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &amp;gt;Three remaining emergency proclamations to be lifted are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;- Emergency 1969, Emergency 1966 (Sarawak) and Emergency 1977 (Kelantan).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &amp;gt;Banishment Act 1959 will also be repealed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &amp;gt;The annual license renewal requirement for newspapers and  publications will be replaced with a one-off permit by reviewing the  Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt; &amp;gt;Reviewing the Restricted Residence Act 1933.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;  &amp;gt;Allowing greater freedom to assemble by reviewing Section 27 of the  Police Act 1967 by taking into consideration Article 10 of the Federal  Constitution which guarantees every citizen with the right to freedom of  speech and assembly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;See folks, we certainly welcome any &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"gift"&lt;/span&gt; Najib is offering the rakyat on this auspicious day with thanks. Sure it does make this day brighter. We Malaysians are a decent lot with decent values and manners. But remember nothing is certain yet as the august house has not passed as law. And we also know who the real puppet-masters are of this government. PM Najib certainly has got may Brutuses' and mongrels within UMNO he fails to see or leash.....like that Ibrahim Ali and the old and senile Tun. And what about all those pro-ISA hounds ? Will they be let loose now to protest and object ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Another interesting look here at what RPK has to say about what Najib thinks about ISA and our colonial masters, the British !

Nawww.....I think I still want to keep those 2 images on my side-bar until I am absolutely certain we are given a gift with no conditions and counter or substituted laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Thanks Najib but no thanks. You still won't get my vote ! And so too from  the hundreds and thousands of others in civil society who get cramps in their stomach with diarrhea  thinking of all the mega-corruptions and abuses your cabinet and administration dabbles in on a daily basis for the past 54 years which you again failed to address or prioritise !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Happy Malaysia Day !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-4401650178348485504?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/4401650178348485504/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=4401650178348485504&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4401650178348485504'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/4401650178348485504'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/09/thanks-but-no-thanks-mr-prime-minister.html' title='Thanks but no thanks Mr. Prime Minister !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-vi46uHAiF80/TnLVzIsnUfI/AAAAAAAAExM/_HM4Vq8Ds2o/s72-c/Bloggers%2BAgainst%2BISA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-3462184750110623951</id><published>2011-09-14T20:46:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-14T20:57:26.317+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Is this what my little "baby" learns in school  ??</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nTJIOMGtM0w/TnCiXZy0jMI/AAAAAAAAEw8/WtTyIxtYCuc/s1600/Form%2B2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 360px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nTJIOMGtM0w/TnCiXZy0jMI/AAAAAAAAEw8/WtTyIxtYCuc/s320/Form%2B2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652196055294708930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jrpE7qhEr2E/TnCiXMFZuoI/AAAAAAAAEw0/XZb-4FMAyGE/s1600/Form%2B2%2Bb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 357px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jrpE7qhEr2E/TnCiXMFZuoI/AAAAAAAAEw0/XZb-4FMAyGE/s320/Form%2B2%2Bb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652196051614546562" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cQsUKCE_cgQ/TnCiW5G19_I/AAAAAAAAEws/GuK32_Tefb0/s1600/Form2%2Ba.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 362px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cQsUKCE_cgQ/TnCiW5G19_I/AAAAAAAAEws/GuK32_Tefb0/s320/Form2%2Ba.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5652196046520317938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:black;"&gt;In a Form 2 text  book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8.5pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 18pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Hi !  Some time ago I came across a pro-abortion article in a seemingly innocent  English Workbook for Form 2 students.

I want to  highlight 2 sentences&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8.5pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8.5pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; line-height: 18pt;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;"&gt;1.

in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"fighting"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; for independence  in Malaya, huh ? As I know it then, the only struggle we were faced with then was with the communist insurgents who were out to override this country with their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Mao-idealism" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;run by the British but were kept at bay by our local police and military headed mostly by a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"white tuan"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; around the 50's. Before that it was the Japanese who peddled from the north to conquered this land that was ruled by the British with the help of the Malay rulers.  Again it was also the commies who were the itch the Jap's couldn't scratch  with their constant ambushes at face-offs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the British since the 1800's were done siphoning our wealth and sucking our natural resources &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"like sugarcane into juice rollers"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and enriching their Sovereign King and Queen they then shared their spoils with their crony stake-holders from plantations to mining. There was nothing left or so they thought, when they in their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"uppity English generosity"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; practically invited our forefathers to  take-over and rule Malaya like on a silver platter. Yes, there were many who had sacrificed with their lives, but our country's struggles were mainly with insurgents from within. We never took up arms to drive the British out, did we ? But we took pride when a Bugis prince and slave trader assassinated an English Resident back in the late 1800's ( &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dato_Maharajalela_Lela"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) and we hail the assassin a folk hero, no ? We were aided by the British and the Aussies here then as a member of the Commonwealth to ward off the commies and scare the Indons off during the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"confrontation"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;stand-off .    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember my father used to be in telecommunication in the 1930's onwards. till the day he passed on at 50 in 1967. He helped build what we today call Telekoms Malaysia way before World War II. Although his contribution may be small or even be scoffed at by arrogance of today's standards, nevertheless he too was a citizen responsible for building and shaping this country long before independence.  So let's face it and truth be told.....we as Malaya then were a peace-loving nation. Never were we as Malaysians ever were as threatened in our history as in the present NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, and thanks to a frustrated  young Indian man in power for 22 long bloody years, we are now more threatened with the influx of the millions of Indons ( read legitimate Malaysians now ) walking in and out of our country, the mass migration of Africans, the pretext of higher education Chinese nationals, the cheap labour of Myamarees, Filipinas and Banglas, and now ( &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;drum-roll please&lt;/span&gt; ) take a whole new look at this critically mocking revelations from Iranians &lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/iranian-exiles-flock-to-malaysia-an-imperfect-utopia/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and we are officially certified a doomed nation ! What a shame !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody asks, how so many can just walk into Malaysia and call it home ? I say corruption ! Corruption at every level of the ruling system has brought about this cancerous disease and this stigma is here to stay until it is rooted and booted out completely....starting with Putrajaya !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go ahead and brand me a traitor if you want to think so even when my forefathers have been here since the early 1800's and  I've lived my  entire life here for  nearly 56 years and had been taught wrongly in school.

But then again Malaysians generally are a decent lot who will not resort to buying these idiotic stories and can see clearly that this is the work of a few village idiots paid to carry out the bigots' agenda ! Of course UMNO strikes as desperately guilty with the help of racist media Utusan Malaysia and Perkasa with Najib having absolutely NO control over the situation as every goon in UMNO enacts his own drama to steal a few dubious minutes as champion of Islam !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously when you look at the way PAS spiritual leader Nik Aziz's &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/nik-aziz-posters-in-shah-alam-defaced-with-cross-markings/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;posters&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; around Shah Alam area being defaced with a cross markings or even the Muslim apostasy roll ( and we the tax-paying citizens are still reeling from the SPR or Election Commission's screwed electoral roll !) has been &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/ex-headmaster-lodges-police-report-over-apostasy-claim/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"buggered" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;by someone within by the inserting names of persons leaving the Muslim faith for Christianity or that political failure Hassan Ali forms a &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/selangor-forms-faith-rescue-unit-for-muslims"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;"faith-rescue unit"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  for Muslims who seek aid from Christians !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are Muslims that weak in their faith ? I don't think so but going by the way this moron Hassan Ali is going seems Muslims in Selangor are not steadfast in their belief and can be easily converted to Christianity ! What a mentally retarded simpleton this Hassan Ali is as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"his office was concerned about the issue of proselytising as troubled  Muslims could resort to help from other groups that might lead them away  from Islam !"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; in a quick rebut to influential cleric Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, who said yesterday that  Muslims should take care of their own poor instead of accusing  Christians of proselytism when churches helped poor Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next time you non-Muslims or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"infidels"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; see an injured Muslim laying by the road-side do you want to help him or be charged for proselytism ?  I on the other hand will stop to help any injured person.....not because he's Muslim or Hindu or Buddist or a Communist but because he's a fellow human being in need of help !

I did today and boy was I shocked at the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"laziness"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; these government offices permeated. Well I can understand that this IS the holy month of Ramadan and can also try and  forgive the pace the staff got this going at 3pm, but that is not what I'm entirely concerned about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My concern is the lack of the 1Malaysia bullshit from Najib ! Where is the many colours of the different races in these government offices ?? All I saw was just 1ONE race of what Najib has been harping the past 2 years or so ! Where are the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"mata sepits"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pariahs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  ? Are they not Malaysians too ? Is there still a quota in every  government job  ?  Why are the various races  that are supposed to reflect Najib's 1Malaysia, not reflected in equal numbers in every  government office  so that when times like Ramadan, the Malays can relax a bit while the other races can keep the government machinery well oiled and in top performance to serve the tax-paying public, no ? And the same will be so too when the other races have their various festivities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"People first....Performance now"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.......ayie....Mr. Prime Minister ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how it is with Opposition run states. I really hope the situation there is different with the state government employing all races at all levels and not keep the lowly positions like gardeners, drivers  and toilet cleaners for a certain race and the better positions for others. Can somebody tell me if Selangor and Penang gives every race, I mean every race must include all races, not just Malays, Chinese and Indians...   a level playing field equally without being biased and prejudiced as  seen in  Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur ?? I really want to know if indeed the Opposition is practising what it has been preaching i.e. equality for all and employment based on merit and not on quota of race and religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Going by what the Home Ministry reports ( &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/8/23/nation/20110823202602&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) today, it'll be easier for an Indonesian or Bangladeshi to find employment with this government  here then the 2nd. class citizens or &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pendatangs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and the indigenous natives (the true  bumiputeras) of Malaysia can ever dream off !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-3262417777383328531?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/3262417777383328531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=3262417777383328531&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/3262417777383328531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/3262417777383328531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/08/stampede-in-gorge.html' title='stampede in the gorge !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uk_Nx-BrWgA/TlPAGbgvvPI/AAAAAAAAEv8/6OmJDRPyTgk/s72-c/hyenas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-439856457777623637</id><published>2011-08-21T10:47:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-21T16:41:40.969+08:00</updated><title type='text'>shameless Koh Tsu Koon !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4RY0TuYH5pQ/TlC5rlFLnpI/AAAAAAAAEv0/VRasr4e11Gw/s1600/KTK.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 128px; height: 164px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4RY0TuYH5pQ/TlC5rlFLnpI/AAAAAAAAEv0/VRasr4e11Gw/s320/KTK.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643214491434589842" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For 18 bloody years Koh Tsu Koon did nothing and before him going back to the early days of Gerakan ruling Penang, development and foreign investment were mediocre. For a long time when you took the ferry from Butterworth, before the Penang bridge was constructed by the Koreans, Komtar was the only building sticking out like a sore thumb on a rather flat piece of pre-war and colonial buildings on this island then know as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"The Pearl of the Orient"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In less then 3 years since the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"tsunami"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; of March 8, 2008,  ( &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/tsu-koon-claims-sowed-seeds-of-guan-engs-gains/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; ) Unesco listed Penang as a World Heritage Site, just four months after Lim Guan Eng took over. Penang topped total capital investments in manufacturing projects in  2010 by attracting RM12.24 billion, up nearly five times compared to  RM2.17 billion in 2009. And this shameless Koh Tsu Koon said Penang would have been similarly successful even if BN was retained in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Koh Tsu Koon, you lost by popular vote, you were deemed hopeless and even with all your political manipulation the people gave the then Opposition a landslide victory through the ballot box loud and clear that you had not served them at all and that they cannot tolerate  the rubbish you called &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"government"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and have had enough of your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"chingay"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;  drama ! By the way what happened to the annual &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"chingay"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; parade, huh ? Was that too deemed "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;haram" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;by KIMMA or Perkasa and UMNO ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would Koh Tsu Koon sing this same tune and take the blame IF suppose Penang and Lim Guan Eng and his DAP had failed miserably ? Would he not now admit that Penang under his charge for 18 fcuking years did not even make 10% of what Lim Guan Eng has acheived in just under 3 short years ? Has this moron Koh no shame at all ? He was rejected out-right by the people of Penang in 2008, and is now on a short leash in the PM's stable as a rabid and frothing mongrel to do Najib's dirty work in Penang. Does he not know when to shut up ? He's a washed out political, an irrelevant has-been and from the same cess-pool as the likes of Mahathir, Toyo and Samy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its latest issue dated August 13, international weekly The Economist  dubbed Penang &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;“the first custom-made city of globalisation” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;and credited  Lim for boosting the port city’s revival by axing a racially-biased  economic policy in the state to create a more level-playing field that  appealed to foreign investors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These business reports in various magazines sings praises by the volumes of the current administration as can be clearly seen and understood by the man in the street. You don't have to be an economist to understand the language nor the statistics. Maybe even Nicol owes her world champion titles to this green-eyed mongrel and ex-chief minister, no ?

! But I guess nobody, nowhere in the world is as idiotic as Ib and his merry morons, right ? Go read the full article at the end of these selected comments ;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;I'm a muslim woman and fasting at the moment,  but it certainly doesn't 'offend' me if other people continue their  normal activities around me such as having tea or snacking, that's their  prerogative! Maybe I wouldn't go out for a lunch and sit through others  eating a full meal. but the onus is definitely on me to decline. Also  if the pastry was on the same plate and hence perhaps cooked with the  pork sausage, Tamsin, as a muslim shouldn't be parting in this - so  really even within muslims there are many  who differ in observing the  rules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); text-align: justify;" class="user-info bold"&gt;- Fasting too, London, 13/8/2011 7:18&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;A lot of fuss over very little I think.  A  fellow teacher was a Hindu, in a predominantly white school, but the  pupils all wished him Merry Christmas, sent him cards and asked what his  children were getting.  He didn't take offense, he smiled and said  thank you, if questioned about his plans for the break, he might explain  his beliefs, but he was never upset.  The same seems to have applied to  this man.  Too much of the racial trouble is stirred by other people  taking offense on behalf of someone else!     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102); text-align: justify;" class="user-info bold"&gt;- Chris, UK, 13/8/2011 16:04&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 0); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;What a stupid article, Adrian realised his  mistake and made a joke out of it which was quite funny. No one seemed  offended in the slightest!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 0); text-align: justify;" class="user-info bold"&gt;- Leanne, London, 13/8/2011 4:49&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;I'm a Muslim and I don't take any offense if  someone offers me pork or anything that my faith forbids me to consume.  I'll just say thank you but I can't take that. It's the same if you're a  vegetarian, I wouldn't know if you don't tell me. Names doesn't  indicate so much of anything these days. You can be called Dylan and be a  Muslim or you can be called Ahmad and be a non-Muslim.    People need to chill a bit. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 153); text-align: justify;" class="user-info bold"&gt;- nadia, malaysia, 13/8/2011 7:37&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;Oh so what, it is his choice to do Ramadan, he  can't expect everyone else to say no or expect the programme producers  to change the format, just because of one guy!! I am sure he wasn't  offended or bothered by it, it may have made him feel a bit peckish but  hey, it isn't the end of the world, get over it already. We cannot  mollycoddle everyone with a different religious belief, they didn't  belittle him or force him to eat it - so no harm done. Our general  religion in England isn't one where we have ramadan, so it isn't really  our problem. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); text-align: justify;" class="user-info bold"&gt;- Gorgeous Brunette, Cornwall, 13/8/2011 4:17&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 102, 0); text-align: justify;" class="comment-body"&gt;you making something about nothing, stop stirring. - ni, london, 12/8/2011 10:26  Exactly. Adrian offered the sausage to be polite. Dhafer said he couldn't eat it, explained why and wasn't offended.

To compare and justify the riots in England (&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) and the Malaysian  BERSIH rally/protest/demonstration (&lt;a href="http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/07/bersih2-sybas-malaysians.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;) in the same vein is utterly stupid. To say  that there was violence by the protesters here in Malaysia  is a blatant lie. I was there ( at least in one part of the city as you can see from the photos in the link which I snapped with my own camera !) so show me if the faces in the pictures looked thuggish or threatening in any way in any of the photographs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;The only aggression apparent  here in Malaysia was the brute  force of our police who for no reason and without provocation fired rounds and rounds of tear gas into peaceful marchers from all walks of life and jetted down on unarmed citizens chemical-laced water, charging into crowds to even kick, punch and beat many before arresting 1,600 in under 4 hours for being there to express and exercise their fundamental rights for a common stand as in Nos.2, 3 and 4 of the definition above and which so many arm-chair critics who were nowhere near the rally failed to understand but condemn the rally participants by reading what the government controlled media fed them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;Looking now at the scenes in London, me thinks our &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"trigger-happy"&lt;/span&gt; cops would have a field day mowing-down the unruly and wild mob of opportunistic looters with their guns and maybe would have even confiscated the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"bounty"&lt;/span&gt; from the looters for themselves. Because English law prohibits the street cops from carrying arms but truncheons, many gangsters and looters there took advantage of the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"1st world soft"&lt;/span&gt; approach of the bobbies and only when the situation now gets to an extremely high and dangerous level.....out comes the water-canons ! Can the same be said of our  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"thugs"&lt;/span&gt;-in-blue back home ? Here they conduct  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"preemptive"&lt;/span&gt; road-blocks  and arrests days before a rally is due and  frustrate the masses into believing the worst  and then expect the non-participants to lay the blame on the rally-goers !   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;Well what can I say of the London rioters but it's a  crying shame as the looters  there were damn lucky we didn't dispatch our boys-in-blue immediately on Day 1  to merry old England to quell the situation sooner ! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: default;" id="hotword" name="hotword"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="hotword"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-8363500754935612119?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/8363500754935612119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=8363500754935612119&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8363500754935612119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8363500754935612119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/08/1st-world-laws-vs-3rd-world-criminals.html' title='1st.world laws vs 3rd.world criminals'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WnBRx1oxTms/TkKtKPcdrTI/AAAAAAAAEu0/O42_WT8_Cpk/s72-c/bobby1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-7712410147013700404</id><published>2011-08-06T13:36:00.015+08:00</published><updated>2011-08-06T14:26:42.137+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Payback time !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j33Hy4SnJ4Y/TjzX-ASDlRI/AAAAAAAAEuM/w599AbciNJQ/s1600/sarawak%2Brangers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 104px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j33Hy4SnJ4Y/TjzX-ASDlRI/AAAAAAAAEuM/w599AbciNJQ/s320/sarawak%2Brangers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637618293788611858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now here's a good challenge for all you raping, plundering and corrupt politicians who have stashed away all your millions in some foreign bank for a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"rainy day"&lt;/span&gt; and when your &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"political time"&lt;/span&gt;  is up in Malaysia.

Of course lah I'm exaggerating here ! 2 is just what comes to mind right now from the hundreds of other issues that begs for answers actually and with no solution in sight !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;First is the shocking Mismah-gate expose' ( as it is fast being known as !) wherein a Permanent Resident named Mismah, in 4 hours becomes from a foreigner to a citizen first and immediately an eligible voter. All in four hours! Can you believe that ?? A voter immediately ? No cooling-off period ? Citizenship with a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"vote for BN or else......."&lt;/span&gt; deal ? When highlighted by an online news portal, a quick change to plan B by the EC. Clever ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;The Election Commission is regrettable the biggest servile outfit and you should hear the EC head and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"suck-up"&lt;/span&gt; artist extraordinaire Abdul  Aziz Yusof's (pictured above) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;rebuttal with lies during this holy month of Ramadan, akin to a little kid who was caught jerking-off, fumbled trying to cover-up by pointing his filthy finger to the National Registration Department's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"technical negligence"&lt;/span&gt; and so on and so on....oh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"  &gt;.so  pathetic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The electoral roll has been tainted, compromised and manipulated. No excuses ! The future of this country's ruling party is in the hands of this one moron, and he's playing to the UMNO master's gallery with much debauchery ! This guy actually believes we, the rakyat or citizens are plain stooopid !! ( &lt;a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/171879"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;If I had my way........he'd be lynched by only one of his testicles from a durian tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that this Ms.Mah ( notice there's no second name or address, but of course some will defend with a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"it's in the "micro-chip" lah bodoh !"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; reply. ) expose' was the reasons and the answer to the hundreds and thousands who braved the tear-gas and water-canons in the city on July 9th. See, this was just one of the many  irregularities in the EC apart from being the ruling party's  subservient lap-dog that gave rise to the many frustrated tax-paying citizens demanding for reforms, never mind about politicians hijacking the original intentions of the BERSIH organisers. These ARE issues and the EC  needs reforms, period ! And anyone who still want to blame the politicians and labelling the 709 as wrongful and unnecessary are nothing but unprincipled weasels themselves not worthy of their citizenship as Malaysians. Perkasa and Ibrahim Ali  jolt my mind in an instant ! How can one condone corrupt malpractices that are so glaringly staring like in your face and still shrug and say &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"s&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;emuanya okay lah "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;, huh ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And second, the raid on the Christian church by a bunch of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; "holier-than-thou"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; watch-dog committee called JAIS ( Islamic Affairs Department of Selangor) and the PDRM (police department of Malaysia- by and large the most corrupt and brutal force to face-off with !)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The current Selangor government and the Chief Minister Khalid are duty-bound to answer to the rakyat why this happened. Khalid must start with the sacking of the state executive councillor and moron Hasan Ali. ( &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/jais-cops-raid-church-over-multi-racial-dinner/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and  &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/hasan-ali-backs-jais-raid-says-quran-and-pray-used-in-front-of-muslims/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )  This will also go to show the watch-dogs in JAIS who's in charge and if this Islamic department has abused it's position and behaved in a manner most unbecoming of their master Najib's 1Malaysia crap  so soon after his visit to Rome to see the Pontiff then I say scrap the damn department itself. Do we need so many unnecessary departments and worst is they being paid with the rakyat's hard-earned tax monies ? Over-zealous and half baked morons act as if they have a God-given right to barge into any place of worship without even a warrant. And even as I write this post, some jack-ass bigot will be planning another &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"jihad"&lt;/span&gt; against another religion and making Najib's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"no control"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; in situations against his Utopian 1Malaysia Unity tag making his tenure as short as possible.

Can you see MIC is &lt;/span&gt; said,&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"them"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and we the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"government"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; here referred to UMNO ?? Come on lah...does this sound like 1Malaysia to you ?? Is there nothing Najib will do out of love for the citizens of Malaysia without classifying them as races and without conditions ? What a shame it'll be when come election time and Palanivel cannot deliver. 1Malaysia....what a joke hehehe !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way the Prime Minister's ratings with the common folks is free-falling earthwards  since the arrest of the PSM6, BERSIH, Ibrahim Ali and his &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"bloody"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; brag of 709 and then after meeting the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"yellow"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; Queen of England and the Catholic  Pontiff offers a new deal again with Christians here demanding respect to religion, I think he has failed miserably just like his now abandoned and pathetic 1Malaysia crap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how is this &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Indian-man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;" going to make a difference to the PM's flagging ratings and BN in particular ?

Have you noticed how silent they all were in all issues stated in para 3 above ? Can they even speak up against the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"taiko" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;of the PM's department, the ever loud and brash Nazri Aziz ?

And we all know who the police take their orders from, right ? The BN government of the day aka Najib !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if any of you traveled overseas and are invited by your host to speak at a forum/dinner there, would you be violating your visit pass ? Surely not  unless you are in Malaysia and was speaking of a corrupt deal cum &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"murder most foul"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; in a government defense purchase from France that could if  proven true in a French court, implicate the very position of the man who holds the highest position in public office in our country......the Prime Minister himself !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this French lawyer is a liar and Najib is not afraid of the truth why can't the government use the proper channel to refute those alleged accusations ? That is what is always preached by Najib's government to all angry and dissatisfied citizens like you and me, yes ?  Sue this Frenchie&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;for all he's worth in a court of law. This act of deportation has increased the suspicions of mere speculators here and world-wide of higher level government involvement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; Habis lah !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems this government is so fearful of the truth. Why...I speculate in knowing wonder ! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;There's going to be laughter in the French courts when  the jesters get roasted and some big foreign VVIP wipes his sweaty forehead in the docks while getting fried  and grilled by attorneys and then heads will rock and roll !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Prime Minister is making one blunder after another. The 2Bersih sweep by brutal police crack-down on his &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"unarmed and tax-paying citizens" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;in yellow and the fate of the now famous Emergency Order 6 ( EO6) who were neither communist nor waging war against the King and  still in limbo  was the mother of all blunders our Prime Minister has bungled recently followed by that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"slap"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; of a picture with the Queen of England mocking him in a rare choice of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Bersih"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;yellow in Buckingham.

All hail the new Dictator....a prodigy of  MahaFiruan  !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then came Najib's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"deal"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; to Christians to respect Islam to be respected. A request most unbecoming of a Prime Minister to his own tax-paying citizens so soon after his unexplained agenda and audience with the Pope ! Wonder what &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"suspicious"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; Archbishop Pakiam would have  whispered in Latin into the Pope's ear for Najib to react in this unprofessional way.

So ? Then there are some I know who  live in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"ivory towers"&lt;/span&gt; and condemn anyone taking part in walks or rallies like they were born in lalaland. This walk is for and by the rakyat. Period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A known fact is, politicians from any party, in any public rally love to steal the thunder from anybody. Today's chants of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"reformasi"&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"takbir" &lt;/span&gt;were quickly followed by &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"bersih"&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"hidup rakyat"&lt;/span&gt; as the main chant through-out the 2 hours I spent with these thousands of ordinary and simple folks who braved the many salvos of the PDRM's tear-gas attack and were there for only one purpose. To send a loud and clear message to the lying and arrogant government run by Najib who under-mined the Kings consent to recognise the rights of his subjects and the use of the Merdeka stadium for the BERSIH organisers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All credibility was lost on the BN regime today when the rakyat defied the many road blocks and threats of arrests just so they can exercise their fundamental right to walk where they want in their own country peacefully. Is that a crime ?  And it is a pity to see the police bidding their political master's dirty work as they charged continuously at the hundreds of unarmed tax-paying citizens who actually pay their salaries every month. And the only violence evident today was the brute behavior of our guardians, the police force. What a shame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below are photographs I managed to shoot while I strolled alongside proud fellow Malaysians who are just as eager to see changes both in the electoral and the administration of this once beautiful country of ours.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“I urge that amid the political fervour of a section of the people to  bolster democracy in our country, it must also be ensured that this  demand on democracy does not bring destruction to the country.,” the  King said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;He added that the people “cannot be following too much the practices  in other countries, as harmony and stability are vital foundations for a  country and which all quarters must protect”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“I also urge the government to carry out everything that is entrusted  to it by the people in a just and wise manner, and it is important that  I as the Yang di-Pertuan Agong do not want to see this country with a  plural society in a situation where there is animosity among them or a  section of the people being enemies with the government, on whatever  grounds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“When any problem arises, we as a civilised society must resolve it  through consultations and not follow our emotions, as the Malay saying  goes, “Yang Dikejar Tak Dapat Yang Dikendong Berciciran (Not getting  what we chase and spilling what we carry),” Tuanku Mizan added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;He pointed out that street demonstrations bring more bad than  good “although the original intention is good, saying that the people  should &lt;span style="border-bottom: 4px double rgb(255, 102, 51); cursor: pointer; opacity: 1; text-decoration: none;" class="adfire_term"&gt;focus&lt;/span&gt; on “our main objective to develop this country, and not create problems that will cause the country to lag behind”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“Remember that there is no land where the rain does not fall, there is no ocean that is not turbulent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;“That is how important moderation and compromise is, which has been  long been in practice by our nation’s administration,” he said,  expressing confidence that Datuk Seri Najib Razak can handle the issue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;BERNAMA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-1724629444631419496?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/1724629444631419496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=1724629444631419496&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1724629444631419496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1724629444631419496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/07/king-has-spoken.html' title='The King has spoken !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A36jYxywXco/ThCXRxQsHTI/AAAAAAAAEmU/JQgEDdjJ1B0/s72-c/Emblem_of_Malaysia_1963-1965.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-8743856156595979160</id><published>2011-07-03T10:24:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2011-07-03T12:05:48.302+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Crackdown on Bersih sets alarm bells ringing abroad</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yes, bells are indeed ringing alarmingly 'loud and clear' from international com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;munities on hearing  of the atrocities of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"comic excuses"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;

Elections determine politicians and parties and ruling government. And is that not politics ?? For those who have forgotten how the first &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;BERSIH&lt;/span&gt; walk was back in 10/11 2007 go &lt;a href="http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2007/11/daulat-tuanku-10-11-07.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and see my personal account of how that fateful day unfolded in living colour !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course we also know how &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Anwar&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"hijacked"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; that walk by taking a short-cut via  riding pillion on a motor-bike to be at the palace gates to hand over the memorandum then. Sure &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Anwar&lt;/span&gt; stole the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"thunder"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; then but this time around we have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Ambiga&lt;/span&gt; ex-president of the Bar Council and a strong leader for issues concerning human rights and a good orator  who was also instrumental in the &lt;a href="http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2007/09/penguin-walkbegins.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;"Penguin Walk"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Did she not, on behalf of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;BERSIH&lt;/span&gt; 2 invite both &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;BN&lt;/span&gt; and PR parties to walk with her this time round ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why should this walk not be a political one ? Anything that concerns human rights and fair-play has to be an integral part of civil society and  the government and that means the use of politicians to get the message across into parliament  to make it a law.....that surely makes this walk political, no ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is comforting and clear that all politicians walking with the organisers this time  are in total agreement that we have a corrupt and dirty Election Commission who are nothing but lap-dogs of the ruling government and only a dirty and corrupt government would oppose/refuse any such changes, yes ? That is what we want changed, amongst other demands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am surprised too why everyone must politicise the very essence of the walk itself. We walk again because we want change and knowing so well that there are so many fraudulent discrepancies  concerning and involving the EC itself which was never addressed or reformed since the first walk so surely the only decent thing, right and tax-paying citizens will do is walk again ! Is that too hard to understand for all those who walk in the corridors of power ?&lt;br /&gt;Can &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Najib&lt;/span&gt; actually afford the citizens to accuse him of running a dirty government when he is so close to calling for a snap election ? And as &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Ambiga&lt;/span&gt;  herself has announced....&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"the time for talk is over"&lt;/span&gt;....(citing the EC of the  &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;BN&lt;/span&gt; government of not welcoming changes since 10/11 2007, for clean and fair election process, independent of interference by their paymasters and  devoid of corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as politicians can use their platform in parliament to demand and pass laws that are good and beneficial to the tax-paying citizens I don't care which party they belong,  they are welcome to walk beside us, us meaning the Third Force or read you and I, the man/woman with that all important right of a single vote  to decide who shall represent him/her in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it is sad that the very people who are against this &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;BERSIH&lt;/span&gt; 2 walk, are still there representing us when we know that they are NOT for a clean and fair voting system and that is a haunting thought, right ? In other words these people are ALL for a dirty and corrupt  government !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" &gt;**comments appearing on the 2 links are not 'real time'.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-2543857006244821308?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/2543857006244821308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=2543857006244821308&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/2543857006244821308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/2543857006244821308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/06/bersih-1011revisited.html' title='BERSIH 10/11....revisited'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WJlkpBPxy0s/TgYV3kAeBfI/AAAAAAAAElk/uOxji4OMDj0/s72-c/c.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-3093776077170053863</id><published>2011-06-22T19:40:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-22T22:56:26.809+08:00</updated><title type='text'>liar, liar pants on fire !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHih547geI/TgH9KPUDF1I/AAAAAAAAElc/bAvNv1gszKM/s1600/katak01.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 168px; height: 127px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VLHih547geI/TgH9KPUDF1I/AAAAAAAAElc/bAvNv1gszKM/s320/katak01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621052162286229330" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What a bloody coward this Ibrahim Ali is !

Read &lt;a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/167389"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;for the rest of the story. This is the same uncouth belligerent who was recently waging a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"jihad"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; against the Christians and now is  screaming "riots" and warning the Chinese to stock up food and curfews and has become  a threat against the nation's security !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why is he so dastardly provoking and so violent against anything non-Malay ? Is it because he has the assurance, backing and financial aid from the father of all racists the old and senile Tun ? Or maybe even UMNO ? Malays by nature are a peace loving lot, just like the rest of their fellow Malaysian brothers of Chinese and Indian descents. I know this for a fact because that was what it was like back in the 60's and 70's,.........until a certain and sinister Malaysian of remote Indian origins took over the helm from our founding fathers to send this country's united and peaceable people into going for each others necks with venom and hatred while playing the race card game !  A whole new generation emerged viewing each other with suspicion  and jealousy ! Soon this trait grew to hatred and each race that once lived peacefully united side by side began to move away to live with their own kind. Arrogance and one-upmanship  was the order of the day. And out of the shadow of this long 22 years of dictatorship by a ruthless tyrant saw the birth of ingrates like this Ibrahim Ali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most right thinking and peace-loving Malays think he is an idiot, to Nazri a clown, to everyone else a fake who jumped from party to party like I would crawl from pub to pub on a good Friday outing ! Having lost his platform to be heard because of party-hopping and his questionable character of masquerading as a political brigand he had to resort to  kicking up a ruckus over any and every issue that concerns the Malay race thus drawing some cheap publicity and  attention to himself  and what he claims to profess for all the wrong reasons. And that folks, is Ibrahim Ali ! A dubious moron with no responsibility and an equally idiotic mentor/master to boot !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now to stop this village idiot from further damaging the very thin ice of peace we can barely survive with, I urge the PM and the Home Ministry to immediately arrest this joker and deport him to Indonesia or anywhere else but to Kamunting,( as I too oppose the ISA ) and save this country we call home. Malaysians have totally rejected this bigot and his hateful remarks and would soon start ignoring him all together !&lt;br /&gt;Then he'll find some new antics to amuse us !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-8968920406234366650?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/8968920406234366650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=8968920406234366650&amp;isPopup=true' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8968920406234366650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/8968920406234366650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/06/arrest-this-clown-now-mr-home-minister.html' title='Arrest this clown now, Mr. Home Minister !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e-snFK70mVE/Tf44xq9BOlI/AAAAAAAAElU/F8veqT6QcvY/s72-c/frog.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-8047155907173843444</id><published>2011-06-19T08:07:00.009+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-19T10:24:24.468+08:00</updated><title type='text'>there's shit in our backyard !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_iTsNGTuAFc/Tf1YoFG54ZI/AAAAAAAAElE/1nWiESjZeYc/s1600/chimp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 139px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_iTsNGTuAFc/Tf1YoFG54ZI/AAAAAAAAElE/1nWiESjZeYc/s320/chimp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619745355617395090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;2 articles in the Star riled me up so early in the morning  to start this posting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;It's silly and shocking to know that our DPM Muhyiddin Yassin has finally seen the light ! His take on Bersih 2 Rally as being reason to&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "topple the government"&lt;/span&gt; was spot on. Hello Mr. DPM, where have you been ? Sleeping like Pak Lah kah ? Of course you are stating the obvious and I'm baffled it took you this long to understand the reasons behind any protest rally ?&lt;br /&gt;( &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/18/nation/20110618200841&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People take to the streets only if they are absolutely pissed off.  If you can answer to all the crap your BN government has accumulated over the years, 52 years to be more like it, and the hundreds and thousands of scandals that your BN is directly involved in by your arrogant and corrupt cabinet, dirty election committee, corrupt police and judiciary and the thousands of little Napoleons scattered all over the nation and cronies collectively have directly or indirectly siphoned-off the billions of the rakyat's hard earned ringgits and bring to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"book" &lt;/span&gt;that grand-father of corruption and the racist Tun to our equally corrupt courts to answer to all the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"sins"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;he's committed against his citizens  then your surprised short-comings of Bersih rally would be understandable Mr. Muhyiddin ! Really !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the other story is about the DPM's boss Mr. PM. While this country is still crawling with so many people still below poverty line and many having nothing to eat ( if you took a drive without your fancy entourage of blaring sirens of the motorcade and out-riders to parts of this city like the  Chow Kit or Jalan Silang areas) but scavenge into dustbins and garbage dumps....and don't be too quick to dismiss them as drug addicts.....they are human too....you'd be better off then trying to save the world later ! (&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);" href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/19/nation/8932251&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing against those who want to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"save"&lt;/span&gt;  the Palestinians but hey....we haven't even considered saving our own shit in our country and it's hitting the fan already ! Why so much focus on the Palestinians who know nothing about peace but throwing rocks at each other all their lives. We've here had this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"soft"&lt;/span&gt; spot only for Palestinians and not the Ethiopians or Somalians or Ugandans or East Timorese or Burmese who are also in dire need of help both financial and politically ?? The answer lies again with that Tun who saw only the Palestinians as a people worth saving. I'll never understand if there was an ulterior motive or agenda. This ex-premier and dictator campaigned solely to save the Palestinians and we after 22 years are still caught up in making good that old and senile Tun's wishes. Has Naji&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;b  no choice BUT to fulfill that egotistical old man's dreams ? I'd say Mr. Prime Minister, as much as I respect the volunteers' humanitarian stand to save the Palestinians, cut the crap and deal with saving Malaysia first as stated in the 2 para above&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MahaFiruan Tun is trying to make you the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"shortest serving PM"&lt;/span&gt; by coercing you into his devious  master plan.

Surely these brazen operators of vice dens have no fear for the law or anyone else for the matter ! Why ? Because  I guess  these vice-den operators have got the whole police force of Brickfields&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; in their pockets ( read payroll !) How dare they resume business as early as a week after the authorities shut them down ? They dare only because they are &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"managed"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"tipped-off"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; by their moles within the police force !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say the Deputy Minister of FT is fighting a losing battle against a corrupt police force who'd  not hesitate to do their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"master's" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;bidding ! I've seen this man making his rounds at odd times around Brickfields&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and that's a healthy sight. To know that a Deputy Minister actually goes down to the ground and stop to chat with the various traders and businessmen who come directly under his watch ! But there is only so much one man can do...with death threats and all !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming back to the police....as I've said before and I will say it again, we have the cheapest police force money can buy despite the rare fact there are a handful  of righteous cops scattered here and there BUT that is no  bloody excuse !! And as usual this top cop of Brickfields&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; has an escape &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;clause to pass the burden to the City Hall authority of all his boys-in-blue's ineffective policing of the area !  That's how efficient our police force are  in general !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we are on the subject of vices, the situation is equally bad in other parts of the city too like in the Pudu&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and Old Klang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; areas.

What a bleeding Middle Ages or a Dark Ages club this is ? When this country is pissed off and struggling with the government's announcement of unwarranted price hikes on basic commodities and feeding hungry mouths, this bunch of sex-starved  house-wives have nothing better to contribute constructively to the nation but to offer SEX better then high class prostitutes to horny husbands ! And with  free sex lesson thrown in too !&lt;br /&gt;                                                    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-bviZcq21U/Tes6nvocAGI/AAAAAAAAEkI/B3PNwNJGQ34/s1600/Sex_Lessons_WRKL6DHEHUKHPXQ.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 81px; height: 56px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-bviZcq21U/Tes6nvocAGI/AAAAAAAAEkI/B3PNwNJGQ34/s320/Sex_Lessons_WRKL6DHEHUKHPXQ.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5614645814922838114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;They want wives to be better then prostitutes so that they can curb socials ills like prostitution et cetera et cetera ! Does that make any sense ? Duh !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just what do these stupid women think of their fellow womenfolk and their daughters ? Mere objects with orifices for men to stick their dick into ?? Have they not heard of equality  before God's eyes ? These idiotic women are still living in the Dark Ages ! I hope this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"sex doctor"&lt;/span&gt; Rohaya is not talking about 1st. wife's only, otherwise even our First Lady Of Malaysia (FLOM) will be &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"disqualified"&lt;/span&gt; from being a member/patron and you know where that can lead too, yah ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And their husbands must have mastered and sworn to abide by the phase &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"men cannot live on bread alone" &lt;/span&gt;to stray into forbidden and new &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"crevices"&lt;/span&gt; too, yes ? All this is not making any sense to the modern times we live in ! Where there is a demand.... supply is inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Giving your husband great sex is not going to stop him from going out there to compare and assess if indeed he gets better sex at home ! Most men stray at any given opportunity. It's only up to them if the want to only just &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"flirt" &lt;/span&gt;or engage in &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"solicitous"&lt;/span&gt; contracts  and no amount of &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"great"&lt;/span&gt; sex at home is gonna change that ! At any given time men are  flirtatious as long as they are given the attention and time by the opposite sex and at times their own kind too !!! And  for Muslim men it is  also their God-given right to marry 4 ! So how now ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And next time you meet a friend who's got a great happy family life, you can proceed to inquire if his wife is better in bed then some prostitute okay ? Damn these BN  morons ! Wonder how much government grant was given for operating this silly club ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a bunch of losers......these OWC !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-702464190855084500?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/702464190855084500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=702464190855084500&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/702464190855084500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/702464190855084500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/06/randy-husbands-and-prostitutes.html' title='randy husbands and prostitutes !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NOFMsCwfBMA/Tes6fOJPPwI/AAAAAAAAEkA/fATJxMjwCZg/s72-c/OWC.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-7139513355035695763</id><published>2011-06-04T10:02:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-04T12:19:09.267+08:00</updated><title type='text'>....while my guitar gently weeps....</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;While the rest of the country is reeling in anger with spiraling price hikes in our bread and butter issues and Najib's 1Malaysia bullshit, elsewhere a very small bunch of morons from Perkasa and Khairy's boys (UMNO youth wing with Mahathir's blessing !) were seen waging war against anything Christian and non-Malay and non-Muslim in Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Kuala Lumpur, near the Utusan office on the 24th.

BN politicians mostly anyway ! Again I say, we have the most corrupt police force money can buy ! And an equally corrupt Judiciary ! Thanks to the Maha Firuan and former PM Tun Mahathir who bred them well for 22 long years !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so now I say, what's the deal with these 442 ?

Just like when it happened before the Highland Towers tragedy, yes ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah, sure they have a right to their opinion, but where the hell were they when this house was built at such close proximity of that laterite cliff face and on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Agricultural"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; land too  huh ?

Maybe better still, blame that corrupt bugger Toyo and his corrupted Napoleons of the BN government then, yah ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even our highly educated PM offered to extend financial aid to the land-slide victims' families ! Duh ! Hello Najib.....these are orphans, if you must know....they have NO families, gettit ? Now every clown will claim to be a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"family"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; of any of the dead orphan just to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"collect"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; !! And this statement came from our Prime Minister ?  Get of of here !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings us to the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"coming soon"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; tragedy called LYNAS !! Surely we &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"brownies"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; as the Aussies refer us to be, are suckers, right ? This Rare Earth company cannot even secure a contract in such a huge country with so much wilderness and small population for their mining activity not because they don't qualify but because Australia is a country that has a government that LISTENS to the voices of it's tax-payers and voters to stay in power, but also has the right people who'd advice the government to avoid a future catastrophe with  their insane plan to dabble with unknown toxic. So &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"no-go" &lt;/span&gt;for this company in their own country but to come here as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"foreign&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;investors"&lt;/span&gt; and give our BN government a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;'shiok sendiri '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; feeling of great achievement okay ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But they ( the Aussies) too know how corrupt our government is and how easily our government can be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"kow-thimed"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; or bought-over with their ASD's, and so, here they are  in Pahang where many have gathered recently to protest the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);" href="http://zorro-zorro-unmasked.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"stop the LYNAS project"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;but our BN government is as usual not listening to their pleas or their views. They seem to have made a confirmed deal to allow this renegade company from Down Under to have their way here on our shores because me thinks, these Aussies have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"taken care of business"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; with the relevant  state authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"the shit hits the fan"&lt;/span&gt; just like in the Tasek Merah case near Taiping years ago, you too can come out and brag.....&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.'

Certainly not, right ? UMNO, pardon them for still continuing to use an English abbreviation, IS a Malay party and can only champion Malay issues, dumbo ! The day UMNO decides to fight for the rights of all races UMNO dies. Just like our current prime minister Najib's Utopian 1Malaysian &lt;em&gt;"sendiwara",&lt;/em&gt; yes ? This country's ruling government is so clannish and communal that a representative of a certain race is expected to favour only his kind......otherwise he's as good as dead in the next general election, no ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Hmmrrrph....so now you see why UMNO is so frightened and threatened by the new trend of young and thinking Malays who have shifted their preference to the wholesome appeals of parties like PAS and DAP or even PKR ? And we still have highly educated people like this infamous son-in-law of an ex-premier screaming for the &lt;em&gt;"ketuanan Melayu"&lt;/em&gt; to score some &lt;em&gt;"brownie"&lt;/em&gt; points with his own race. Wake up Khairy....and welcome to the era of change and anyone who claims to champions for their own ilk is most certainly a racist ! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Get out of this damn way of thinking and start representing ALL or loose all respect your &lt;em&gt;"other"&lt;/em&gt; voters have had for you during all those election &lt;em&gt;"ceramas"&lt;/em&gt; where you lied and bullshitted through your teeth promising every race you'd fight to take care of their needs !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Don't you think so or are you too secretly a closet racist ?? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-1495414424264046261?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/1495414424264046261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=1495414424264046261&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1495414424264046261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1495414424264046261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/05/racists-ruletoday.html' title='racists rule....today !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VR40DwlDnck/Tc7Gp47yxKI/AAAAAAAAEhE/dn8EDszvENk/s72-c/khairy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-4712238521980859518</id><published>2011-05-02T23:31:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-05-03T01:06:01.894+08:00</updated><title type='text'>"bapa borek...anak rentik"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6oYmzApqM-g/Tb7jUIKBohI/AAAAAAAAEgs/z1ugp88SB8Q/s1600/mukhriz%2Bmahathir.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 273px; height: 185px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6oYmzApqM-g/Tb7jUIKBohI/AAAAAAAAEgs/z1ugp88SB8Q/s320/mukhriz%2Bmahathir.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602164921421898258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" &gt;.&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;.....In PAPAR, International Trade and Industry Deputy Minister Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir has suggested initiating an 'Umno scholarship' and establishing an 'Umno College' to project the role of the party in youth development......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;p style="font-family: arial; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-family: arial;"&gt;...He stressed that both institutions must benefit not just children of Umno members, but of every community "whom we also serve"......

Now they take their dirty money politics into colleges and other places of higher learning, but it's okay because it's UMNO initiated, yes ?  Imagine we'd have graduates with degrees and masters degrees in UMNO politics ! Hahahahahaha !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is there not enough institutions of higher learning for Malays only in this country ? Let's see, we have exclusively MARA and IIUM, then we have University of this and that in almost every state and with a very small percentage allocated for the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pendatangs&lt;/span&gt;" and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pariahs"&lt;/span&gt; right ? And when Mukhriz  refers to Bumiputeras does he mean all Bumiputeras or is he referring to ONLY Muslim Bumiputeras ? A good 100 percent of  Portuguese Bumiputeras in Malacca and around 95 percent Indigenous or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"original sons of this soil"&lt;/span&gt; Bumiputeras in East Malaysia are Christians.......so how now Mukhriz ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why stress for children of UMNO  members only and then reluctantly add  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;but every community whom we also serve"&lt;/span&gt; as an after-thought which is sooooo bloody hypocritically shallow , Mukhriz ?  Can't you be decisive and make up your mind ? If UMNO wants to rule as head of BN first scrap this  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"for Malays or for Chinese or for Indians ONLY"&lt;/span&gt; shit okay ! Don't you have an obligation to serve all without reservations, irrespective if the citizens voted for or against you ! Serve ALL as you morons without shame still collect taxes from all and sundry to keep this government running right ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is sadly what's become of Najib's 1Malaysia joke ! Every clown is inventing his own 1this or 1that shit ! Stop sabotaging poor Najib's 1Malaysia please lah.

The Orang Asli and the various other natives like Sakais, Negritoes Semans and in East Malaysia the Ibans, Dayaks Kadazans and a host of others where the original people here and you want to again  screw history repeatedly to give the immigrant Malays a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"feel good"&lt;/span&gt; distortion via the frustrated racist group Perkasa and deny the Orang Asli that right ?......learn to deal with it Tun !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Stupid isn't he this ex-premier and father of all racists in Malaysia ? He dare actually warn us with this dubious question......&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"that forgetting one's history was detrimental to the race; that it was the very reason why the Malays allowed themselves to be colonised by the British".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Let me tell you this senile and livid mass of protoplasm is guilty of forgetting his own father's history ! I wonder how the gentle Malays actually can accept him as a Malay too. He has taken them for a long 22 year ride by ridiculing and labelling them with mischievous names and even then the older Malays of this country without names like Toyo or Tukiman but plain Yusof or Kamal or Hussain or Kassim allowed him to rule them ! This here is one clever Indian !  And dear Tun, remember nobody questions the Malay rights but only you and your morons in Perkasa are saying this to, as usual, instill unwarranted fear and instigate hatred among the Malays off all other immigrants like the Chinese and Indians!    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;His confession here clearly shows how threatened he is by the great split amongst the UMNO Malays and the thinking PR Malays. And this master manipulator of the Malays must be losing his marbles upon only being greeted with 800 instead of 33,000 people who'd care to listen to the rubbish and hate spewed by this venomous forked-tongue son of an immigrant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Thank God the Malays are already wising-up to this now irrelevant Dr. Mahathir !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Maybe he should &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"punch"&lt;/span&gt; himself in the face for living a life of lies !&lt;br /&gt;Jeez....does he ever stop ? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-6807351723599424759?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/6807351723599424759/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=6807351723599424759&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6807351723599424759'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6807351723599424759'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/05/hate-machine.html' title='The &quot;hate&quot; machine !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9Z4X5mPEeE4/TbxNAuDCyfI/AAAAAAAAEgk/tmSGqo99VMA/s72-c/mahathir.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-5021944327193962062</id><published>2011-04-24T18:16:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T19:33:38.431+08:00</updated><title type='text'>the "untouchables" ( Pt.

What good are reports going to do in UMNO controlled police-stations ? We know the police would not lift their finger to take any action.

Have they no shame ?? At least get out of BN to teach them a lesson, yes ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Year after year right to the very last hour  just before voting day be it GE or a buy-election, somehow it will be the damn Malaysians of remote Indian origins, living in rural areas and in estates who will be making an about-turn after receiving a kilo of mutton or an electric kettle from some MIC goon or even a nice Tamil movie treat on voting day just so these buggers stay home watching the high drama Tamil flick, sipping coffee made with water boiled in their new kettle thus miss casting their votes.&lt;br /&gt;Trust me, I've been to enough buy-elections round this country to qualify making this statement !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the times I'd like to see what T.

Good, after all that's what medias are for, right ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who cares about journalistic ethics. It's there for the gullible, naivete's and simpletons and anyone else who wants to swallow it hook line and sinker as the gospel truth ! As longggg as it sells ! Sensational news is what every one's hungry for in their otherwise mundane lives ! And the dirtier and juicier the story you spin, the better ! Today's hot story in all the major UMNO &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"friendly"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; papers and blogs carry the RPK story. A man who's got more pages then Najib on Google image search !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I too am guilty of not going to the defence of my dear old friend Pete or better known both in Malaysia and now globally as RPK.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't find one good reason to defend him or his good name, simply because I know him maybe a little better(not intimately, mind you !) then most and hey.....he's too big and and famous both locally and globally for me to handle. And moreover, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"thinking"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; man or woman will not believe anything that's being said in this government controlled medias about Pete. Sure the media spins for the good of the BN agenda and to make the government of the day look like saints and virgins and sure why not, it theirs, right ? After all everyone knows which side of the bread is buttered and by who's hidden hands, no ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to say that I did not run to Pete's aide is wrong. I don't  have to lah ! He don't need my  reassurance or help. He's a tough cookie and seasoned enough and can and will weather any shit this corrupt and scheming government throws his way. He's been to hell and back and he's got Marina by his side ! He surely don't need  me to come to his defence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have all heard the warrior cries of fanatics who would kill a fellow human being just to protect his God's /Allah's / Swamiji's name, right ? Have you ever stopped to wonder IF indeed God/Allah/Swamiji needs our protection ? We mere bungling mortals defending the Almighty's name ???...hahaha. You gotta be kidding me if you think the Almighty ever needs US.&lt;br /&gt;HE is THE  ALMIGHTY, YOUR MAKER, THE SUPREME and we are nothing...zilch...zero...shit !....and you think we must protect HIM ? Or HE needs our assurance in protecting HIM ??? Hey !...wake up morons....please wake up !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now wait a minute. I know what you're thinking......so get that stupid notion off your silly head to think if I'm equating and glorifying  RPK to God/Allah /Swamiji ! Hahaha.....all I'm saying is RPK is a mere mortal just like you and me, sinful and with many human weaknesses and it would be blasphemous and ridiculous to compared him to any God, but he's a good man and my friend. And he's got Marina ! And he sure don't need me, a small fry-blogger coming to his defence !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now again stop.......and think ! Why this spin on RPK and all this hype from so many UMNO paid media and bloggers. You got to get the people's attention off the real issues NOW ! Yes Sarawak's burning and soon Sabah's falling and all this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"ceramah"&lt;/span&gt; walk-outs  is looking bad and while the pariah, Allah, Al Kitab, Taib, land grab, corruption, forest-rapes and BN popularity issues are stinking to high heaven and getting UMNO into deeper shit election-wise and you got to divert the attention away from all  that bad publicity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So very quickly spin something....anything ! Just drag this RPK fellow's name through shit and let the people feel they should not make the mistake of voting or romancing with the Opposition. And who else is the people's favorite and UMNO favorite fall guy, only second to Anwar ?....RPK of course !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get real folks....stay focused on the numerous blundering UMNO issues and vote wisely ! RPK is not raping or buggering  you blind but UMNO has for all your lives, ok ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. Cheers Pete......and Marina wherever you are !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-2579947048685752517?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/2579947048685752517/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=2579947048685752517&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/2579947048685752517'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/2579947048685752517'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/04/coming-to-rpks-defence-no-way.html' title='coming  to  RPK&apos;s defence ?

Does she know anything about the origins of the country ? She's never been to a national school before 1972, I guess. Maybe she had her education in some &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"sekolah agama"&lt;/span&gt; in some Indonesian kampung, right ? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; Oh....and then there's also that other racist Ibrahim Ali in Perkasa, championing more &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"ketuanan melayu"&lt;/span&gt; crap, yes ? Read his warning to all Christians &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/dont-test-patience-of-malays-perkasa-warns-christians/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; !&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WFGkJ7ZKNrg/TaHel7gXEPI/AAAAAAAAEf8/pUNal6UeSDM/s1600/katak.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 59px; height: 57px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WFGkJ7ZKNrg/TaHel7gXEPI/AAAAAAAAEf8/pUNal6UeSDM/s320/katak.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5593996955380814066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Guess nobody told this idiot that Bahasa Malaysia is the official language of this country, huh ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why oh why do we have to constantly put up with such fools who spew nothing but SHIT ? Has she been to the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Tugu" &lt;/span&gt;or our National Monument to see the names of fallen warriors of yesteryear defending Malaya and who now have been totally erased from our history books. You'll find a whole list of.....and in Nazri's words, &lt;a href="http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/04/09/%E2%80%98punjabi-boy%E2%80%99will-not-call-nazri-%E2%80%98bugis-boy%E2%80%99/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;"Punjabi boys"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;with the exception   of one Pakistani soldier and one English commander. You don't find any Malays names there !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has this woman even heard of the Reid Commission from the times of our founding father the Tunku ? Does she know that Islam is NOT the official religion of Sabah and Sarawak ? Does she also know that my forefather did not come here from India  200 years ago to be a&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "kuli"&lt;/span&gt; ? Can she say the same about her father's recent arrival from Indonesia ? Sheeesh !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With this latest comic relief, Najib has his work cut out for him and can actually cut short his stay in East Malaysia. Sabah and Sarawak are as good as gone from his grasp and straight into the Oppositions' hands. And he's only got Perkasa and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"plundering Taib"&lt;/span&gt; to blame and nobody else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you fat mama, thank you Perkasa !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-7031828386875770209?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/7031828386875770209/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=7031828386875770209&amp;isPopup=true' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/7031828386875770209'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/7031828386875770209'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/04/hey-fat-mama.html' title='hey fat mama !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i5Sxw1HM5Tw/TaHb9SLC5AI/AAAAAAAAEf0/a7vEuxQl7m4/s72-c/ramlah.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-6918775064382675056</id><published>2011-04-07T22:03:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2011-04-08T20:12:19.938+08:00</updated><title type='text'>20 cents  in the House !</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q2SGhNis4Gs/TZ3U_smJXSI/AAAAAAAAEfk/RILSMZPbMrE/s1600/samy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 198px; height: 255px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q2SGhNis4Gs/TZ3U_smJXSI/AAAAAAAAEfk/RILSMZPbMrE/s320/samy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592860503032028450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;RM 27,227.20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Pheeewit......Yes that's the right figure above, we the tax-paying citizens of this country pay as allowance to maintain a totally irrelevant washed-out ex-minister. And to add to this wastage there is also a  monthly salary for him and his excess baggage of 6 staff plus  "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;other amenities and allowances"&lt;/span&gt;!  Guess the government also pays rental for his office in prime Plaza Sentral, in the city, right ? ( see full story &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/4/7/nation/20110407154720&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Has he not raped the country blind and his kind (read &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pariahs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; as encouraged by his UMNO buddies for allowing &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Interlok"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; to be a part of the school teaching syllabus !! ) for over 3 decades enough ? Has he not siphoned enough ? Has not enriched his kins and cronies to wealthy positions ? Of course it is never enough to keep up with his bloated ego !  Heard  also that there's a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Kampung Samy Vellu"&lt;/span&gt; in his native village in his motherland, India ! As far as I'm concerned and curiously too he's not even worth 20 sens ! Funny how the government conjured up that magical 20 sens !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of wasting tax-payers funds I wonder also how much is paid to yet another totally irrelevant yet vulgarly rich ex-premier, the father of racism and grand father of corruption&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;, the Tun ? Are we also subjected to pay for all the excesses he indulges in ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm......this no longer relevant ex-minister really  has no shame in continuing to live off like a parasite off the citizenry when he has all that stashed loot accumulated  somewhere now to enjoy ! Wonder what's so &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"special"&lt;/span&gt; about him !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we  the tax-paying fools continue to give him that immunity and protection too !&lt;br /&gt;Sighhhh !!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BuBIMcJRuXk/TZ3atSFMOtI/AAAAAAAAEfs/VGpHZyU3qvY/s1600/chimp.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 94px; height: 95px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BuBIMcJRuXk/TZ3atSFMOtI/AAAAAAAAEfs/VGpHZyU3qvY/s320/chimp.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592866783746603730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-6918775064382675056?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/6918775064382675056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=6918775064382675056&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6918775064382675056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/6918775064382675056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/04/20-cent-in-house.html' title='20 cents  in the House !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-q2SGhNis4Gs/TZ3U_smJXSI/AAAAAAAAEfk/RILSMZPbMrE/s72-c/samy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-5684454470869467920</id><published>2011-04-03T10:23:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2011-04-03T11:34:59.526+08:00</updated><title type='text'>well  it's too late babe......now it's too late !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kna8r2E7Hrk/TZfkE-kMEFI/AAAAAAAAEfM/v70FLAJBm_g/s1600/3%2Bstooges.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 191px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kna8r2E7Hrk/TZfkE-kMEFI/AAAAAAAAEfM/v70FLAJBm_g/s320/3%2Bstooges.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591188236569153618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Now BN is really running shit scared of losing Sarawak ! Just look at this 10-point solution released by cabinet as announced by  Idris Jala ( I&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'ve met this guitar strumming singing dude and he's a regular decent guy &lt;/span&gt;)&lt;a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/160443"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt; here !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  But remember this is only a solution....and not a law yet ! Don't be too quick to buy this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"proposal"&lt;/span&gt; as yet in the wake of the up-coming Sarawak polls. Let's hear it from the mongrels of UMNO....i.e.Perkasa first !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the damage is done and beyond redemption so Taib the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pluderer of Sarawak" &lt;/span&gt;and Najib are pulling out all their aces to convince the people of Sarawak that BN is their savior and champion in saving their lives and stay in power ! When I say BN please read it as the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"ketuanan"&lt;/span&gt; championing Malays of UMNO. Parties in the BN coalition like MCA, MIC, SUPP, SPDP, PRS and all others are but mere excess baggages and&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "persona non grata"&lt;/span&gt;. UMNO is the real decision maker and that decision becomes law ! Anything anyone else says are shot down and ridiculed by the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"racist and gangster" &lt;/span&gt;arm of UMNO...ie Perkasa and Perkida !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UMNO is begging the Christian majority peoples of Sarawak to re-think their position by suddenly  coming out with these &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"goodies" &lt;/span&gt;as though the Sarawakians are  so stupid to fall for this hypocrisy and bullshit and vote for them ?        Too late babe , for  vulgarly rich and plundering Taib and Najib, it just over  50 years too late !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The FD has matured and the game's gone into sudden death - check-mate UMNO !!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;See you in hell !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-5684454470869467920?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/5684454470869467920/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=5684454470869467920&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/5684454470869467920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/5684454470869467920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/04/well-its-too-late-babenow-its-too-late.html' title='well  it&apos;s too late babe......now it&apos;s too late !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Kna8r2E7Hrk/TZfkE-kMEFI/AAAAAAAAEfM/v70FLAJBm_g/s72-c/3%2Bstooges.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-4288983357867170634</id><published>2011-04-03T07:11:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2011-04-03T08:58:23.344+08:00</updated><title type='text'>"pariahs" to the fore !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vi1zn9eRyhM/TZfEds8H7HI/AAAAAAAAEfE/cEJZso6tLPk/s1600/dato-seri-najib-tun-abdul-razak.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 189px; height: 136px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vi1zn9eRyhM/TZfEds8H7HI/AAAAAAAAEfE/cEJZso6tLPk/s320/dato-seri-najib-tun-abdul-razak.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591153476962348146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;As long as the Najib administration allows garbage like the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"Interlok"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; to be used as a text book in national schools I would from now on without malice,  loosely and as often refer ALL Malaysians of remote Indian origins as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pariahs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;...yours truly included !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My forefathers (I'm 5th. generation on my paternal side and 3rd. on mother's side ! ) came to this great country as &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pendatangs"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; ( and certainly NOT as estate labourers ! ) in the 1800's and from Kerala too...and even more sadly just as that Kutty family).

And the poor and innocent Najib is with arms  wide open, welcoming them ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my question is... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"how many left BN in the first place Mr. 1Malaysia sir ?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; You say over 3000 return&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt; 'en masse'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt; and hopes that happens also at the national level, yes ?

After all this is UMNO, renowned for all that is wrong in this once beautiful country of ours !  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me confidently say here that Penang and Selangor are gone to the Opposition for good and no matter what damage control Najib tries to win them back, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;"pariah and allah issues" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;will always be haunting  BN come election time.

It is for a good reason that they are doing so — residents in the area take pride in upkeeping what must be among the last good football pitches in the Klang Valley.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They have not only lovingly tended to its upkeep, they have developed a sentimental affinity for the club and football field, sandwiched between blocks of houses and threatened to be taken away by development due to its prime location.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The committee has maintained the place by creating their own funds, chipping in and collectively taking care of the field, and managing them well. They have frequent resident gatherings and families hold receptions of diverse sorts there.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is home to them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The Pakatan Rakyat government must keep its election promise. It must," Andrew tells me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"You know how much the place means to all of us. Generations of residents have sentimental attachment to the place. It is wrong to take it away from us."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Saari, it seems, is going to table a motion to reverse Dr Mohd Khir's gazette and return the plot to the UKRC committee.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The land had been alienated to UKRC by the Selangor State government, via the then Kuala Lumpur Land Office, on July 12, 1958.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;UKRC had even paid RM690 for the surveyor's cost in August the same year to get the Pejabat Tanah Kuala Lumpur, as it was known then, to gazette the said recreational land under the control of the club.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dr Mohd Khir had in 2004 re-gazetted the plot as open space after attempts to build condominiums there had met with huge public outcry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Malay Mail&lt;/em&gt; was, along with residents there, at the forefront in campaigning against the development. Azmin and Saari had then promised that the UKRC land issue would be resolved if Pakatan Rakyat took over the State administration.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On July 25, 2008, the Selangor MB had verbally informed Saari that he was very keen to resolve the UKRC controversy.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Andrew claims Khalid had asked that the UKRC file an application to purchase the land from the State government at a nominal fee.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;UKRC duly complied, and on Aug 4 the same year, wrote in. There was no reply from Khalid's office. UKRC wrote again on June 25 and Oct 20, 2009.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Again, silence. In November 2009, the area's Village Development and Security Committee, Kuala Ampang (JKKK), comprising mostly UKRC members, wrote to Khalid to resolve the issue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The MB's office replied that the State had no objection to allow UKRC to continue using the open space, subject to the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council's (MPAJ) conditions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The council, it seems, has never interfered in UKRC's business. "They know UKRC will go to &lt;em&gt;The Malay Mail&lt;/em&gt;," jokes Andrew.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As the chronology goes, UKRC wrote again on March 15, 2010. Mum was still the word.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tired of the inaction, UKRC and the residents had a meeting with Saari on March 7 this year, and expressed their disappointment at the unwillingness of the State government to assist its two representatives to keep to their election promise.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;An ultimatum, says Andrew, was given to Saari to resolve the matter. Saari had told them that he would table the motion and get assemblymen to support his proposal to return the land to UKRC.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Having been there on a number of occasions, I certainly know how much the club and field mean to them.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I have seen with my own eyes, as have many other colleagues of mine, how scores of residents would gather there whenever there was an occasion.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They flock there even to watch friendly football matches, like the few that I (and the likes of our group media advisor Datuk Ahirudin "Rocky" Attan and former sports editor Tony Mariadass) had taken part in against UKRC.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I hope Azmin, Saari and the State government keep the promise. It's wrong to take away these people's home.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YUSHAIMI YAHAYA is Editor-in-Chief of The Malay Mail.

You'd  surely see either a couple of policemen on motor-bike patrol or a patrol car parked there having a meal. Not that they are going to immediately abandon their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"roti canai"&lt;/span&gt; or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"nasi lemak"&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"teh-tarik"&lt;/span&gt; to  rush back with you to the scene of the crime or problem, but you'll surely at least have made it your point to inform them as a law-abiding citizen of such on-goings in your neighbourhood, yes ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brings us back to what this caring hearted Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar (any relative of Hanif Omar ?) adviced his &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"fat cops"&lt;/span&gt; of their eating  habits matched with their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"packed and heavily over-loaded"&lt;/span&gt; work schedules to prevent heart related ailments. During the event health record books were also distributed to his personel to keep track of their eating habits and to update from time to time. ( read &lt;a href="http://bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=573944"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;here &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't policemen have drills and fitness camps or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"khursus"&lt;/span&gt; to attend on a regular basis ? Or do they only have to at the beginning of their careers and thereafter sit on their butts pushing pen at desks and in the comfort of an air-conditioned room in a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"balai"&lt;/span&gt;? Maybe foot-patrolling for fatsos is a better idea then in a patrol car, right ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm.....now that poor mamak has an extra national service to do for the force. He'd probably should be engaged by the police contingent to sign in their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"little record book"&lt;/span&gt; as to how many times a day the cop come revisiting his stall !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or maybe the IGP wants his men to be fighting fit so that they'll be able to carry out their duties with frenzied gusto when needed like in the pic below which we have seen countless times :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GfvIrCn5H6I/TY3sb0MxRJI/AAAAAAAAEeM/bRWw83CN1-0/s1600/police.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 261px; height: 193px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GfvIrCn5H6I/TY3sb0MxRJI/AAAAAAAAEeM/bRWw83CN1-0/s320/police.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588382675249480850" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;What the police force of Malaysia needs today more then anything is not a pep talk on health but serious sessions on the simplest of human values. Simple values about doing an honest days work and with integrity and honesty. About the sins of corruption, bribery and respect for  human life and about up-holding the laws of the land without fear and favour ! And not to be subservient to any politician's bidding but to carry out his duties with a clear conscience. And  about reminding them who pays them their monthly salaries....the tax-paying rakyat !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I guess the last paragraph above is the last thing on the IGP's mind, no ?   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-3260166468618097843?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/3260166468618097843/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=3260166468618097843&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/3260166468618097843'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/3260166468618097843'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/03/fat-cat-babbles.html' title='the fat cat babbles...'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GzfBDnXfMIM/TY33AEfRqTI/AAAAAAAAEeU/ip6rGyk4X9A/s72-c/ismail%2Bomar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-1240284519149639363</id><published>2011-03-24T23:30:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-03-25T01:18:02.044+08:00</updated><title type='text'>sue, sue, sue everybody !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C4WjY3UsE4Q/TYt3ddMfipI/AAAAAAAAEeE/1VY7ZYRwy4M/s1600/Datuk%2BT.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 101px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C4WjY3UsE4Q/TYt3ddMfipI/AAAAAAAAEeE/1VY7ZYRwy4M/s320/Datuk%2BT.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587691110620170898" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yes, as the title suggests, in a corrupt country like ours, that must be the best way to teach some irresponsible scumbags a lesson !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man is not guilty until proven so or so the adage goes, but just look at the way the media has played out so boldly and as their headlines too !

PKR could use this timely &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"settlement millions"&lt;/span&gt; for the coming elections and at the same time bankrupt UMNO of  their cash cow !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we will all live happily ever-after in Malaysia !&lt;br /&gt;Amen !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-1240284519149639363?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/1240284519149639363/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=1240284519149639363&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1240284519149639363'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1240284519149639363'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/03/sue-sue-sue-everybody.html' title='sue, sue, sue everybody !'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-C4WjY3UsE4Q/TYt3ddMfipI/AAAAAAAAEeE/1VY7ZYRwy4M/s72-c/Datuk%2BT.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-1902725192508681762</id><published>2011-03-19T13:05:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2011-03-20T10:35:45.684+08:00</updated><title type='text'>"Et tu....Maximus ?

Today the Christians in Malaysia have Maximus Ongkili.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This bumbling piece of shit is a disgrace to all Christians and to all Sabahans. Does he even not know Christians make the majority of the population in Sabah and Sarawak ? Does he even know that without Sabah and Sarawak there is no BN ?  Does he also not know that Sabah and Sarawak are the&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; "fixed deposits"&lt;/span&gt; for UMNO ? Or is he just a plain moron who is blinded by corrupt UMNO money into selling  his religion ?  ( read &lt;a href="http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/159059"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;here&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"traitor"&lt;/span&gt; telling Christians that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:130%;" &gt;...."This is a government decision and we must accept it." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;What Max, you'd accept anything this government decides as gospel truth and accept it like a slave ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What an idiot he must be ! No wonder this BN government is so arrogant and can bulldoze any law in the parliament when they have stooges like this to implement them.  Who is  advising this spineless &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"leader" &lt;/span&gt;to swallow this shit, anyway ? He does not have the intelligence to speak on our behalf. And there is no room to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"negotiate"&lt;/span&gt; anything where religion is concerned as  clearly  stated in our Federal Constitution you moron, can you get that into your pea-brain head you.....Maximus Idioticus !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does he even know Christian churches were built by the Portuguese and the Dutch here in the then Malaya long before Islam even came to our shores. So don't tell me Christianity has no footing or say in this country. Most churches in this country were built years and years before mosques were built. We have never had this &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"belittling" &lt;/span&gt;of the Christian religion by all the other prime ministers before that old and senile racist Tun came to power. Why ?  All this while the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"good-for-nothing"&lt;/span&gt;  BN Christian members of parliament have not uttered a single word of protest while they allowed  the UMNO bigots to savagely butcher and defile the confiscated Christian holy book.  Only PAS  a Muslim party has come out strongly to protest the Home Ministry's unnecessary actions of confiscation of the Bibles. Is Islam more universally tolerant in PAS then in UMNO ? Certainly I'd say yes !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the Muslims in PAS are more steadfast in their belief of their Quran and are never threatened by influences from other religions. They are by far more honest in their sincere embracement of brothers of any and all other religion just like our prime ministers from the time of  our founding father the Tunku  but which ended when that sneaky and spiteful &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Indian" &lt;/span&gt;dictator took over for 22 damn years undermining and destroyed  the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"unity"&lt;/span&gt; factor to &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"divide and rule by race and religion" &lt;/span&gt;of this then secular and multi-racial country in 1981 !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sabah and Sarawak must show their disgust and displeasure of this BN government's actions  and their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"spineless"&lt;/span&gt; Christian ministers in the next GE or forever be doomed !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheeesh !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28598173-1902725192508681762?l=shanghaistephen.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/feeds/1902725192508681762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28598173&amp;postID=1902725192508681762&amp;isPopup=true' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1902725192508681762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28598173/posts/default/1902725192508681762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://shanghaistephen.blogspot.com/2011/03/et-tumaximus.html' title='&quot;Et tu....Maximus ? &quot;'/><author><name>shanghaistephen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13128603875616796471</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1o8J8yXCruM/TJ8Ut_MjXEI/AAAAAAAAEHs/FJ-1P-nDmlo/S220/48814_527556871_7820_n.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-apKKSwsg1ps/TYRYMGvAEqI/AAAAAAAAEd8/3OdAUf7bAN0/s72-c/maximus.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28598173.post-3468958709267285050</id><published>2011-03-16T17:43:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2011-03-16T18:06:18.050+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hidup MIC  or Hidup Melayu....brudder ?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Viewing this video clip got me  all confused ! First there is this bunch of Malaysians of remote Indian origins screaming for Lim Guan Eng's head and they also shout &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Hidup Islam"&lt;/span&gt; ! Fine I thought, it's  their right to protest and let their voices be heard. I'm all for freedom of peaceful public assembly and letting your grouses be known ........ until they go in a frenzy punching the air with their &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Hidup Melayu"!&lt;/span&gt;  Now how did these Malaysian Indian Muslims suddenly become Melayu ? Looking at their  skin texture, their speech and their features I could have sworn they look more like MIC members.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You view and decide for yourself.....it is comical when just before  the end of the clip they suddenly become so  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"pussiefied"&lt;/span&gt; and drive off in a huff ......wonder what happened ??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mnI7wdHHQI0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mnI7wdHHQI0&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feat
