Jekyll and Hyde

If you like to watch fire-works, Malaysia is the place to be. Come to my country where everyday is fire-works day. Most nights during the run-up to so many colourful festivals, the skies are lit up with sparkling colours bursting in sparkles of fire as people look in resounding awe at the splendour of the fireworks display.  

And in the day, you get fire-works in the form of faces being blown-off or trigger happy assassins ticking off targets on their to-do hit list quiet often. Yes, we have a very sick society here in our country. Foreigners with fake ID's issued gun license and given employment in high-risk place of work. The recent shooting cum robbery of a bank officer is testimony of an intense lack of responsibility by the authorities. They show no duty of care as to who they employ in their company. As long as they keep the cost low, anyone is "gainfully" employed in some company.

In this premise, we are at a total loss as to who might turn out to be that serial rapist, or that innocent murdering fb "friend", or a nice bank security officer turned murderer  and robber or a nice young man turn "jihadist" targeting victims with a "Allahhu Akbar" war-cry before stabbing and killing them or  a good cop turned crooked and looses his gun in a toilet. 

It has become so hard to trust the person standing next to you. I have been a victim once and since then I still view any stranger near me, a little suspiciously. Our failed education system is the result of this very sick and fearful society we live in. And those responsibly have to bear the full responsibility of creating such monsters within our society.   

Compared to all this unpredictable characters roaming our streets, I might be a saint ! And  the next time you are in a crowded place and you get ugly stares from a person standing next to you, don't stare back. He just might kill you !  

I am not linking this post to any news source today. You already know of  the above related gory tragedies of this past week and what I'm talking about, right ? 

Have a pleasant weekend and avoid all eye contact with strangers. 

Shalom !  

PR lied to its voters in Ulu Klang.

                      

I have written 4 times since 2011 regarding this very special "community" field which has been fondly cared for by this man Andrew Gopal, as president and his "merry" men of Ulu Klang Recreation  Club or more popularly known as UKRC  for as long as I've known Andrew. I've been there many times and so have my other blogging buddies like Rocky and Bernard and also Yushaimi of the Malay Mail. One thing all of us readily agree on is the camaraderie amongst the residents there. Its what you'd call a close-knit sporting family.

After years and years of much "fighting" with the then Toyo government for "residents' ownership" of the UKRC field and clubhouse, PR looked like a welcome and promising change. That was just before the 2008 GE. The PR guys were all over the place promising to move heaven closer to earth with their g-strings, et cetera et cetera.

But sadly all that changed. Selangor under Khalid Ibrahim was not just bad but looks worse now, then BN's Toyo. What two-forked tongue speak is this Khalid, damnit ? And pictures of the MPAJ mongrels' invasion of the UKRC field  made me sick and spurred me to write this post.    

For a refresher read here,  here,  here and here. 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, so listen up all you fucking PR morons in Selangor, fuck this up for the UKRC residents now and PR will be butt-fucked in Ulu Klang come the GE14 !

Tomorrow members of UKRC will be staging a protest against this blatant coup' of the residents field especially targeting mb Khalid , Shaari Sungib ( sounds like a cousin of Toyo !) and MPAJ itself for its gangster-like manner when handling this take-over. 

Andrew invites all friends, supporters and concerned citizens to join in at the clubhouse. He also promises dinner....but who actually cares for food, right ?
Something is not right. We the citizens have a choice to kick out anyone who behaves like or worse then the ones we last kicked out  ! Kapish ?  

Take note and be there :

I command you to stand in attention !

Now this is going to be a double edged sword for Malaysians. 

With Putrajaya banning Catholics and The Herald (the Catholic church's news publication)  from using the word Allah, I am very curious why nobody thought about also banning or rewriting our Negaraku ? (with all due respect to our King !)

Our National anthem refers to Allah/God as Tuhan ! Pray tell me how are our Muslim brethren  then going to stand in attention and sing this anthem henceforth without praising Allah BUT Tuhan the infidel's God, not once but twice ! 

The "learned" judges have again screwed it up for all Malaysian Muslims. My apologies !

Now will you please stand up in attention before you click on the link.... here !

Selamat Hari Raya Haji to all my Muslim friends ! 

Shalom ! 

News goes viral....

Its amazing how fast news travel these days. Its all at the touch of a keyboard button and the internet instantly carries a story almost in  real time. 

Take for instance last week's bloopers (  here ) and ( here ) and ( here ) which were whoppers for netizens around the world. You just cannot hide secrets any more. We can only cover-up so much. Then again how much of what we read over the net is doctored and how much of it is for real ? 

You decide how you want to interpret the news in your own way.
Shalom ! 

CAUTION: Not for the weak hearted.

When  read this news  here  my thoughts immediately went back to the phrase "...you jump, I'll jump too....." from that one time hit movie The Titantic.

But coming from the IGP's mouth that "missing guns could have fallen into the sea" is indeed a very hilarious statement for a man of his credibility. Of the 37 of the 44 missing firearms none were used by criminals, he claims. Now how would he know if any has actually been used in robberies ? Are our ballistics guys so good as to guess which bullet came out of which "missing" gun ?

I paste here the Auditor-General's 2012 Report, but must warn you, its lengthy and in 3 segments namely Federal, States and Federal Statutory Bodies and you may face the risk of your BP shooting up and/or an imminent heart attack. Health Ministry is another joke as you may encounter along your way too. 

The Auditor-General's 2012 report is one report that will have a very short live span and before you can say OMG....it will be filed under NFA gathering cobwebs !

Take care.

Today a child's life was taken away.

Time and time again I have protested that the so called National Service Programme for kids here in Malaysia is there only to fatten a few cronnies and keep some over weight ex-servicemen gainfully employed. Millions of tax-ringgits are spent annually from transport to  food to clothes to rental of camps. All run by some  who's got "friends" in high places. The programme itself is a scam ! 

We are never going to war with anyone. Not in the near future or in this millinium. History has proven that this country is rid of communist with the death of Chin Peng. We have no colonial masters to wage war against, as history clearly says  that Chin Peng took care of that too. The undeclared war between Chin Peng and our then colonial masters in pre-Merdeka days ended with the colonial masters inviting us, as 3 major races, to England to accept our independence. 

Little skirmishes with some rag-tag out-fit known as Suluks from the Philippines  too has ended with some warm hand-shakes and smiles all around re-affirming the Suluks rightful claim of Sabah with our acknowledgement of that annual "rental" fee our government pays to the Sultan of Sulu for the occupancy of Sabah. So there !

Why do we need this silly NS program ? Has any good come out of this 3 month stint a child has to undergo ? All we can see is the children of the lesser people ( read you and me !) has to spend 3 months of their lives at around the age of 17 or 18 and hope to "inter-grate"( a word mostly used by politicians to make them sound intellegent and astute, perhaps ? ) with children of other races when for a given fact, from a very tender age of 5 to 17 years, these same children are segregated in schools by way of the education system, religious systems, at home and in neighbourhoods either by parents or teachers who'd pass of as racists and/or bigots. 

What can these kids achieve in 3 months when we grant them 17 years of a flawed education system ? There's been 22 deaths since December 2003 in these NS camps. Most were by drowning. In 2004 there was a rape of a teenage girl by a guardian of the camp.

Today we read in the news how a child's life was brutally taken away from him for simply jumping a queue during breakfast last Sunday. A murder.

Who wants to tell that child's parents that their son died defending the country ?  Read here .

The shit we put up with daily !

Here in our country, we have ministers who spew venom/rubbish on a daily basis. The standard reply for any BN minister is "if you don't like/not happy/have issues/think its not fair/want to put a stop/ are against"........ choose any answer in the picture above ! 

Thank you BN and particularly Mr. PMNajib for awarding us with your "scintillating" personalities whom you call your cabinet. 

Shalom !

(for English translation..... ask a friend who speaks Bahasa Malaysia.)

This one's for you, Sir !

For all you Pink Floyd fans.....understandably this classic will bring back a tsunami of beautiful memories. Certainly one of my favourites. But more importantly, today I want to dedicate this masterpiece to one man. 

To..........

- one man many would wish will wake-up to see the mess that's happening all around him. 

- one man who has lost touch with reality. 

- one man who has lost control of his own men.

- one man who has refused to comment on all that shit that's hitting the fans on a daily basis. 

- one man who's very fate and future lies in the hands of his so-called "friends".

- one man who just might be ousted by the many who have daggers drawn before the next election.

- one man with much excess baggage.

- one man who's got a crazy fetish for the number 1 ! 

To you Mr. Prime Minister I dedicate this soothing song.....as it befits your "inaction" to a country gone mad ! 

Turn up the volume to the max, sit back and enjoy this sensation Mr. Najib Razak ! 

This one's on me, for you Sir.  

Pushers and junkies !

A man lost 2 of his fingers and prayed in silence asking, "Why, God, why ? Why did this happen to me ? And now I've lost 2 fingers"... and after some time a voice silently screamed in his puny head..... "because it was not meant to be there in the first place, you moron !!" 

In my younger days (now its like half a century ago !) we too had many fancy friends who offered "magic" pills to stay awake and alert during the run-up  days that led up to the LCE and MCE examinations. Pills like roche' and  mx (mandrax) kept you awake with a "high" yes, but never helped you grow extra brains all of a sudden. There were others who turned to marijuana, and strange as it may sound, turned out to be even better today after all. But we were warned from our young and foolish days ( we were about 15 years old !) to never resort to short-cuts. That any thing that went against the order of reality was false. Enhancing  and empowering drugs are against the laws of nature .....hmmm.... unless it was a natural plant in itself. Ok !

Today all you parents too will surely be drumming the same advice to your kids to never go popping unprescribed pills and more so, if its from strangers. Today we also know that stupid is as stupid is ! That is why hundreds of ringgits are spent yearly on extra revision materials and tuition fees. That was then.

Just wtf is going on in our primary schools today ?? Just what was our education ministry thinking, when they decided  a short-cut to passing exams is by allowing little 12 year old (Standard 6 students) kids to pop pills ? And that too endorsed by the Malaysian Federation of the Council of Headmasters and approved by the Health and Education ministries !! Our education ministries are making junkies of our children at age 12 ! And at 17 they give them a gun in national service. Nice ! And that is okay with you ? 

What happened to our "smart schools" then ? Can't find  enough smart kids to fill the schools, eh ? I have said this before and I will say it again. We have a FAILED education system and we have been  living in DENIAL for a very long time now. The sooner we wake up, the better you buggers ! Read the disgraceful blooping story here 

Maybe they should recommend this "magic" pill to parliamentarians in our august house to help them utter some intelligence then the usual garbage that's coming out of their mouths everyday. Or alternatively allow them to smoke ganja in hookahs at the parliament lobby. I'm very sure more will prefer the latter.    

Let me tell you this folks and take it from someone who hardly studied school text books. There is no short-cut to excellence, but sheer hard work. No two ways about it. Kapish ? 

Breaking News-Who killed Cock Robin ?

Living in 1denial...

Yet again we are NEWS in BBC News. And all for the wrong reasons too ! 

How to woo tourists here ? Hmmmmm.....I know, get special assistance in the form of your kin ! Well it works for the Tourism minister and the Cow-gate minister, so why not ? 

Cheers and goodnight Malaysia......wherever you are ! 

If you did not vote BN..........Allah/God help you !

It has to be the disgraceful and dubious BN's FT and Urban Well-being minister Tengku Adnan, who is supposedly responsible for ALL constituents irrespective to their political leanings to utter such a claim that the federal government, as in this case, will not help homeless victims who have lost everything in a fire recently. Read here !

That too,  by being geographically, in an Opposition held area, and some who may or may not have voted against the ruling government in the last election. So what who they voted for. Is that not their right to vote who they so desire ? And how would one know who one voted for, unless.........

And these are the types of person Najib has in his cabinet ? We send ships load of aid worth millions of tax-payers ringgits to faraway places in the Middle East from food to medicine and ignore our own people right here at our backyard. Why ? 

The poor victims who were housed in a community hall (dewan) were also told to vacate the  "dewan"  yesterday. It is cruel to throw them out in the streets as they have nowhere else to go. They are families and children just like you and me. What kind of minister will come up with such a cruel decision ? 

Hey Tengku Adnan, can these people also be exempted from paying all forms of taxes and  income-tax henceforth ?

Humane and unity government, you say Mr. Prime Minister ? What a sorry joke !

My 1st. and only guest blogger- Bernard Khoo

I'm not one who's good at curry-flavouring or giving public speeches. Today I'm writing a special post about someone I came to care about a lot. Someone who's close to my families ( in both the 2 parts of my life....hmmm.) in the short time we've engaged and interacted in and out of the blogging world. 

Friend to many, foe to some, brother to more then a select few, buddy to a lot, father to 2 and husband to one and slave to none !

Bernard Khoo Teng Siew and I hail from the same town, Taiping. Of course, him being a decade older then me, we never knew each other there or then. But we share the same love for our alma mater and hometown. I met Bernard around 2006 in Kuala Lumpur, the year Malaysia was going through a political "Renaissance" of sorts under the Pak Lah administration, with the emergence of a then tightly knitted band of political irritants/misfits called bloggers ! (The then home minister Syed Albar even defined bloggers as jobless housewives (burp) who tell a great many lies and had nothing better to do !)

It is not important how we became good friends or even brothers, but there certainly was a special bonding amongst the elder bloggers of that time. Bernard who before then didn't even own a blog but used to frequently comment as zorro on many blogs, was encouraged to start his own blog by someone close in the blogging fraternity. The rest as you all know is history. 

Bernard is a kind gentleman, a generous teacher, a passionate friend and a Malaysian. Politics and politicians who screw-up hurt him most but many a politician seek him out for supper or drinks in faraway places that he had covered during by-elections. He's mad about all sports from cricket to hockey  but I still wonder why he supports soccer losers like MU ! (guess he's susceptible to bad judgement !)

Taken into custody for attending an illegal gathering in Ipoh during the "Perak-power-grab" debacle once, always in the fore-front covering almost all of the by-elections since 2008, numerous candle-light vigils for ISA, RPK or championing any protests to elevate the less fortunate and attending all protests marches.Bernard is hated by some and admired by many for his tireless feed of postings you'd want to think when this old man is going to stop and go play with his 3 grandsons in Bahamas.  

We've shared rooms before when covering by-elections with what little donations we got from well-wishes and agents of change and if you had room-mates in the likes Bernard or Haris you'd never get any sleep at all. These 2 can actually orchestrate a symphony with their snoring. We've shared more then just rooms. We knocked chilled ones on far too many occasions. We shared stories and and gossips and even agreed to  disagree on opinions but most of all we shared unconditionally, respect for each other. Bernard's trade-mark pipe and an occasional ciggy with his single malt with one cube of ice constituted his water intake for the day. And its been quite awhile since we clinked glasses too, my friend.

Bernard, today I hear you had a face-off with Mr. big C at the hospital ! 

I'm frightened with that piece of news, bro. I don't know what to do or how to help you. Is there anything I can do for you Bernard ? I don't know how to be brave for you.

So I'll tell  to your face only once Bernard. I love you  my brother. 

And Cheers to all the happy memories you and I shared in these short beautiful years of friendship and will continue to do so.  I dedicate the pictures below to you.   

Below I share some pictures, in no particular order, of Bernard Khoo with people close to his heart from my private collection. 

You, my readers may add captions where ever you deem fit.

"I've been misquoted"

Its either our politicians and police are the greatest liars or we have the most crooked mass-media in history. 

The famous cry-line being ...."I've been misquoted".... rings far too often, by individuals in public office, for comfort. And or with what ethics  are our current journos indoctrinated with, you might want to ask, no ?

Professionalism and honesty are the last thing on one's mind when this acting top gun of the state police force was asked for a comment in a press conference and when reporting, the reporter either did not understand the context or subject matter and wrote in a language only he'd understand. Or maybe, just maybe, a cheeky sub-editor or editor decided to twist the already vague facts even more for personal reasons, to increase sales, seizing that one moment of madness  or doing his/her master's vile stupidity.

Whichever way you look, the person who actually spoke/wrote the lie must be reprimanded or even charged in court for sedition. This lie alone is enough for the courts ( if you want to call them that !) to pin the culprit with the greatest  lesson once and for all. After all there were other journos from other media too. Did the other papers carry the same story along the same lie as what this one notorious paper did ? Or do we have a lying acting police chief ?

But then again, who's got the balls to investigate and prove it, huh ? Its all a fcuking "sendiwara" to divert the simpletons from the actual issue of the shame brought on by our education administrative system.

Shalom !

     

"By the beard of Allah"

 

It is so sad that only in Malaysia, the name of GOD in any other language could stir-up so much hatred and anger by mere village idiots. Just about every half-baked politician who is a Muslim, is suddenly a champion and defender of his faith. While the entire Arab world have no problem with anyone including the Jews, using the word Allah, our politicians here in Malaysia are demanding exclusive copy-rights to the word Allah as if the prophet (pbuh) was born here in Malaysia.   

Why do these morons have to use religion in politics to pave their road to glory and eventually corruption and wealth. There is certainly  2 sets of laws, no, no.....3 sets of laws in this country. One for UMNO Muslims, another for PR Muslims. The 3rd. is of course for all infidels (non-Muslims). 

Corruption is never addressed in this country as a sin or crime. And so is sex, racism and bigotry....as these  have got express immunity laws specially designed for UMNO Muslims only.  

In my younger days me and my friends of all races, read many a war comic books in cartoons of WWII in some Arab country wherein Moslem (the old days they spelt it that way, and nobody went on a jihad to torch those comic books or kill the publishers) soldiers with swords drawn and on horseback in the desert, will scream "By the beard of Allah", if one was caught or taken by surprise. And "infidel" was tastefully added to curse and describe any non-Moslem invader in Arab soil.

And so we now have assholes like Ibrahim and Hassan Ali who with that corrupt MahaFiruans' blessing demanding the infidel from  the Vatican to vamoose from this land. Apology not enough. How soon have these simpletons forgotten that both Mahathir and Najib had pleaded for a private audience with 2 different pontiffs in the Vatican. What does fasting or "puasa" mean to these people in this holy month of Ramadan ? Sorry means nothing to these fools ? Is there no mercy and compassion ? (Read here)  

What saddens me even more is the silent "disagreement" of the majority of liberal Muslims. Nobody dares to stand  up to these idiots knowing very well what damage Perkasa and a host of  other Muslim NGO's are doing to the religion itself. If Islam is a religion of love, then where is that love ? These kampung fools have only shown extreme hatred against other religions and have got away with everything because they are "protected" by that UMNO Muslim law and the government of the day.

Elsewhere we have an attention-seeking raunchy couple ( now known as the Alvivi issue) thrown in jail for "their own safety" because of some halal-logo-on-a-pork-dish-inviting-Muslims-to-partake-and-in-bad-taste posting on their fb page charged under the 3rd. set of laws. While bible-burning, cow-head dragging in protest of Hindus temples, fatwah  prohibiting the usage of Allah by non-Muslims in Kedah and political   perpetrators take to the streets after Friday prayers to gain a few brownie points are protected by again, the UMNO Muslim laws. Sigh !  

What a shame !       

Now everyone can suck-up ?

in Kuala Lumpur

Authorities see red over Air Asia uniforms

For Tony Fernandes, it's always one thing or another !

Yes, Tony is always in trouble with BN/UMNO or their agents, and yes, if Tony wants them to stop this harassment and be in their good books he should just appoint the MahaFiruan or one his wimp sons to sit in the AA board. All will be looking bloody rosy thereafter.    

The maverick-owner of Asia's largest budget carrier got a dressing down yesterday by the country's Transport Ministry over the propriety - or the lack thereof - of the uniforms worn by his female flight attendants. 

So now somebody got an unexpected "hard-on" whilst staring at the exposed flesh of an attendant during a flight on AirAsia issit ? 

And the Transport Ministry seems to want a cover-up, or at least a review of the airline's dress code. All Air Asia female flight attendants, many of whom are Muslim-Malays, generally dress in bright red jackets over white blouses and slightly-above-the-knee skirts. It's the last item that seems to make the ministry see red. It told Parliament in a written reply yesterday that it would ask the budget carrier to reassess the uniforms to better "reflect the Malaysian culture".

And pray tell what IS the Malaysian culture, you bumbling moron for a minister ! 

Oh I know what that is. The Malaysian culture is to "tolerate" race-relationships, corruption is kosher in BN/UMNO and our way of life, having 2 sets of laws, one for BN/UMNO and another for the Opposition, living in denial that the crime rate is not alarming, robbing the Orang Asal of their  ancestral lands and rights is our  way of life, racism propagated via Mahathir, Perkasa, UMNO and Utusan is the Malaysian culture !  

The issue surfaced after a Kelantan lawmaker from the United Malays National Organisation, Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz, commented that the airline's uniforms were "sexy" and "did not reflect the national identity". He did not specify what the national identity was, or is. The MP then asked if dress code guidelines were imposed on an airline when its licence was issued. 

Okay, so this was the asshole who had that "unexpected" hard-on on that flight ! Hmmmm......even those hard-core PAS fellows with their beads in hand have enjoyed their AA flights without being distracted. It has to be an UMNO bloke. Is that all he can contribute as a lawmaker to discredit an airline company to promote our national carrier, MAS ? Why did he even fly AirAsia in the first place ? Cheap thrills ? National identity ? What is that ? Kebayas, songkoks and sarongs in batik for all occassion ?  Bleeding hypocrite this pervert lawmaker from Kelantan !

Ikmal Hisham Abdul Aziz memberikan tiket percuma perlawanan akhir Piala Malaysia kepada penyokong Kelantan di Taman Keramat, semalam. - utusan/Safrizal Azmi. Artikel Penuh: http://www.utusan.com.my/utusan/Sukan/20121018/su_02/Penyokong-Kelantan-serbu-tiket-percuma#ixzz2YKmGJUoX © Utusan Melayu (M) Bhd 

"Airlines have to abide by the safety standards, among others, and comply with emergency evacuation in the allotted time, as set by the Civil Aviation Department and the International Civil Aviation Organisation," acting Transport Minister Hishamuddin Hussein said, seeming to skirt the issue. "Airlines including AirAsia are free to choose their uniforms as long as it complies with the criteria set by the authorities." Again, he did not specify what the criteria is.

Groping for excuses over this infantile objection by a fellow mutt, the "acting" Transport minister has to bring up safety standards of ICAO, forgetting it'd be even more difficult to pull up a kebaya slit-type MAS uniform  in an emergency compliance time. Duh ! 

 Wonder what our BN/UMNO morons would expect or complain about if and when they board this airline !

Can we close Petaling Street after Jonker Street ?

Why not ban all "pasar malams" (night markets) through out the country ? I think pasar malams frustrate motorists everywhere in the country. These pasar malam traders who are actually part of a bigger syndicate think they have an absolute right to set up shop anywhere they please. 

Imagine a poor bugger who buys an expensive shop-lot in some "taman" ( housing estate) to start a business or a mini-market and with bank loans to pay. He'd need all the business he can get to stay afloat and he'd try and keep prices low to lure customers from his competitors. Then all of a sudden on a certain day of the week he sees some damn idiots setting up stalls right in front of his shop and in parking lots he'd thought was specially there for his customers' convenience. All of a sudden the place is crawling with all kinds of traders. From smut VCD sellers, cheap footware and attire, crazy music blasting from huge speakers, food-stalls, knick-knack flea marketeers  to even  sea-food catch from the wet market bought yesterday but well refrigerated and half dried green vegetables. All the stuff that he'd been are selling in his mini market but at a lower price than him. How'd he feel then ?

Pissed off, right ? If all this has been tolerated by our middle and lower class society for years, ( funny you'll never find these "pasar malans" in fashionable Kenny Hills or Damansara Height or Bangsar where the elitists and ultras live ) why do we now suddenly have the urge to be rid of them now ? Is it because they are all manned by foreigners such as Banglas or Indons ? But heck, they have always been run by Indons and until recently the Myanmars. So why the fuss now ? 

And coming back to the closure of Jonker Street on Fridays to Sundays in Melaka. Are these 3 days not the busiest days for business when tourists from as far away as Singapore and Europe come to spend their weekends and tourist dollars in historical Melaka ? 

As the newly appointed Minister of Tourism, Nazri stands by and allow such closure from taking place. Jonker Street IS the main attraction in the state of Melaka no ? Surely he can over-ride the state officials to retract that law, no ? It would be his first mistake as Tourism Minister if Nazri allowed the closure of Jonker Street unless he will also decree henceforth the closure of all pasar malams and also the notoriously infamous Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur too ! 

Would he have the guts to do that ?

Living life in denial....

6. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Malaysia also takes pride in its spectacular landscapes, a culture that begs to be discovered and explored and… a history of violence that made way too many victims. Presently, the state’s capital is said to be one of the most dangerous cities in the world, as the crime rate increased with 70% in the last three years. It wasn’t a peace on Earth display before either, but now things seem to keep getting worse. 

(Read the rest of the story here and here)

Reflections

Take some time out and reflect on the above "sins" you have or are about to commit ! I may have done some or most at different times of my life....or I may just lie and continue like I'm a saint ! Any which way you choose you know what you have done, right ? And that MAN up there knows, ok !

Cheers and happy reflecting !

The witch-hunt begins.....

I dread the day this "Malay first, Malaysian second" DPM Muhyiddin Yassin takes the rein as Numero Uno of Malaysia. That will also be the day Malaysia literally descends into the cess pool we now hover over. 

This simpleton who was once a lowly government servant is definitely not prime minister material with his kampung mentality. He should stick to heading branches in small towns as "Ketua Kampung" or UMNO head in a kampung. Here he's showing his true colours of a kampung valla !

How is he ever going to unite all the races with his vile hatred for anyone who voted for the Opposition ? Are we too not tax-paying citizens who contribute to the daily running of the government machinery. Does voting for anybody other then UMNO a crime punishable by neglect and/or banishment? Will he be a prime minister for ALL if he ever does take over the top position in UMNO and eventually becomes a PM ? Don't think that would happen or he would do it ? Be warned....the witch-hunt has begun !

  

Its a frightful thought imagining this self proclaimed "Malay first" ruling a secular and culturally diverse nation like ours with any fairness or righteousness. Gone will be the so-called dream of non-Malay Malaysians who will readily lay down their lives for their Malaysia.  Looks like Najib's 1this and 1that was merely lip-service indeed played to a gallery of idiots, no ? 

Watch the DPM clip below and decide for yourself.
