of egos and failures !

Like I said in my earlier post..."these are exciting times " and yes... siree ! these sure are those times !

Just look at our City Hall walls at night in our fair city.....we have our PM's face digitally illuminated and glaringly pasted on one side of the entire building ! (read rocky's Leningrad story here ) Why this wastage of public funds to show-off a face that is fast losing public confidence... eh ? Is this an inflated ego trip of another dictator-in-waiting or is this another way to say "thank you" by some grateful crony for the contracts awarded ? Can anyone tell me how much it cost per night to light-up an entire side of a 30+ storey building ? And who was awarded this "projection" contract ? Was there an open tender ? Hmmmmm........I cannot fathom the incredible plans hatched by this government/mayor coming up with next
to "suck" this country dry, !

And elsewhere at the PM's office in Putra Jaya, we have a group calling themselves Young Malaysians Action Secretariat (
Sekretariat Bertindak Anak-Anak Muda Malaysia) "presenting" for real a pillow and a bolster to our dear Prime Minister.....read here ! Now are these times not exciting enough ? If this is not the "writing on the wall" of really disappointed citizens and even now the sleeping PM doesn't wake up to what's really happening around him....them I have nothing more to say of of this man who "promised" us change, transparency, honesty, and morality from the previous administration when he took over barely 4 years ! We have all been taken for a ride and it bothers me to have had faith in his promises ! Wake up Mr. Prime Minister.....wake up please !

The rising and daring crimes do not bother these "elitists" anymore ! Hundreds of police personnel and vehicles are deployed to "stop" peaceful marchers but you cannot find a single policeman patrolling the highways where everyday there are reported car-jackings, kidnappings, rapes and robberies along every part of the city and the out-skirts ! Oh...yes you can find them alright....anytime of the day or night, sitting at corner "mamak" stalls having their "teh-tariks" and "roti canais"!!!

God save Malaysia !

Stephen,
You are right. He is feeling good about being potrayed as someone great and the cronies are having a good time making money. Who cares about spending the public's money since Petronas is literally drilling gold from its oil well?
There will be nothing left for the future generations when the oil wells run dry. It wont be long but by then some people are so bloody rich that he will just uproot his whole family and live elsewhere, Perth is a good example.

obvious isnt it. rich and elitist dont have to contend with crimes. bodyguards to left and right. private guards for their homes.
hey, there's nothing to envy their trappings of life. but for the ordinary folks, we cant even have basics to live in safety.
where's the security? please ask the IGP.

Bro'..

These are interesting times indeed. I think those buggers up there must be living in the clouds or something.. mortgaging our kids future, wasting taxpayers ringgits here and there and bonking women not their wives.

You know where MY vote is gonna be bro'..
