Pak Lah's flip & Anwar's flop !

To commemorate 1 year since the March 8th. 2008 election victory of 5 ...errhhh or is it 4 states, a portion of the Opposition Coalition took to the streets yesterday afternoon to protest the usage of English for math and science in the education system ! Who is to be blamed for this demonstration ? The government of the day or the Opposition ? Was it the "failed" education system in grooming Malaysians to face the world with English as a medium or the Oppositions take on "going glocal" armed with Bahasa Malaysia only ? I would say I blame the police !
Now if only the police had cordoned-off the streets ( like in all civilised nations in the first world !) for a clear passage to the palace the marchers would have walked straight from the Masjid Negara and delivered their memo of grouses to a palace representative and would have dispersed quietly and quickly, right ?


The protesters gathered here in front of the Holy Rosary Church in Brickfields when I caught up with them through a crazy traffic jam, camera ready and after being chased by the police before the the demonstrators tried to reach the king's palace, firing tear gas, the wary crowd then decided to stage a "sit-in" right in the middle of the road.
Personally I do not support the abolishment of English in any subject, and as we can now see the deploring standards even by graduates, who have a major problem understanding and communicating in English with the rest of the world ! BUT I will not deny them the right to protest ! If only this crowd was actually protesting for the abolishment of the ISA.....now that would be a valid and clear cause, right ?..... but alas....the leaders have other plans !
Now let me give a lesson in English on "half nakedness" for the benefit of that moron in Padang Terap PAS MP Mohd Nasir Zakaria who was supposedly shocked by students exposing "naked flesh" by wearing bare-backs or summer dresses in a USM function recently ( here) ...... hmmmm......now while these ladies below are fully clothed !
Using the navel as a mid-point, anyone without a shred of cloth above the navel, would be "half- naked" or topless, yes ?....see the famous man, below ? ...and one without a shred of cloth below the navel will be also "half naked" or bottomless, right !
...now these wonderful girls below are neither "half-naked" nor "immorally nude", dude ! These are a bunch of women and a beautiful creation of God, men the world over would die for and I too, would love to feast my eyes on. There's nothing immoral or obscenely wrong with that ! The bikini is a universally accepted attire...at least on the beach ! So now Mohd Nasir Zakaria of Padang Terap...while you salivate drooling at these girls' "exposed flesh", go clean your rotten head and keep your narrow-minded sexual frustrations to yourself ! Sheeesh ! Where did you evolve from ? This is 2009 man !.... and you are still struck in the Dark Ages ?

So now you see the importance of the English language ? When "respectable" but narrow-minded elected representatives shoot their mouth off in "broken" English without fully understanding or having a good command of the language, they get their arse fried by all broad-minded and matured English and Bahasa Malaysia speaking members of civil society securing the future of their children to face the world ! Like I said before, while I beg to differ on the "cause" ( of using Bahasa Malaysia in schools for math and science) in the demonstration yesterday afternoon, I would still support their right to peaceful assembly and protests !

"Happy 1 year since the 'tsunami' to all rakyat of civil society" ! Cheers !
