BREAKING NEWS! The usage of indelible ink!
Mar 8th
I found what is being used of the indelible ink after the Election Commission canceled
the usage of this ink to cast out phantom voters for our general election.
is that indelible ink?
Seems like Miri-ans don’t like Barisan Nasional eh?
Such are our anger towards Barisan Nasional!
Please approve the “dacing” and disapprove the “rocket“!!
Voting Dilemma-Idiot no.1 or Idiot no.2?
Mar 6th
I seriously understand what Akmal Hakim said as reported by Malaysiakini,
Young M’sians says polls make no difference.
“We should have a right to make a choice. I’m not voting because to me, there seems to be no choice” Akmal Hakim
I beg to differ even though what Akmal said is sadly true.
My dilemma is only for State Representative in my voting district.
Firstly, both the candidate are not to be heard of… like total stranger to me.
AND I’ve never seen them around my area, ever since my Taman has already been
gazetted under the territory similar with Shah Alam. Previously it was with the
other Klang territory which has a Chinese majority. See how our EC plays around
with out territory to cut out the Chinese majority?
Klang MP has been in the hands of Democratic Action Party (DAP) for 20 over years.
Now, the Barisan Nasional wants to take back what they think should belong to them.
Over the past 26 years, even though Klang has a DAP MP, I find there is no a big
issue with Klang to complaint about. Maybe they don’t have big spending monies like
those big boy bullies have but still, why over-develop Klang?
Klang needs more infrastructure that benefits the people rather than bringing in new
development but she can’t handle all the congestion and population clogging in this
lovely city. What Klang need most is a better transportation.
The only public transportations Klang have is local bus then followed by KTM.
KTM is just another piece of junk which should be decommissioned or really upgraded
to a better train coach and FASTER!
While the local bus companies has been generous with their new buses and more
departure slots to Kuala Lumpur from Klang, I reckon Klang need a transportation
grid by its own. Taxi is a real bum in Klang!
Back to my voting dilemma. Few days ago, I checked my voting status at Undi.Info.
A website started by Malaysiakini to check our voting registration and keep track
of the up and coming 12th General Election, in 2 days.
There are two political parties running for State seat in my area and they are from
UMNO and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
I seriously like I said above, I’ve never seen them around. My friends don’t even
know who the hell are they and what they actually have been doing to the community.
Never have I heard of really.
If you ask me who are politicians I know off in Klang,
Teng Chang Kim, because he has been there and known…
Zakaria, because he built that freaking “castle”…
Khir Toyo, because he was made famous by the usage of botox…
Charles Santiago, because I read about him and he has the qualities to lead…
When PKR says “Vote for a ‘cleaner’ Selangor“. I want to but I’m lost. Why?
Because the candidate of PKR contesting for state seat in my area is just an unknown person and with no any mention qualities to begin with and some agenda proposed
at her website is just plain bullshit first to mention. Wait.. isn’t politics bullshit?
I certainly will not vote for UMNO. Why again? Because I hate their political agenda.
Yes yes.. they put rice at our tables and all. I just couldn’t accept the fact that how this country is being run is not the call of their citizen but the call of the politicians whom
are not only selfish but greedy! Malaysia is for all! FULLSTOP!
Sigh.. really. I’m at voting dilemma now and it is two days more to go.
Whom shall I vote for?
Idiot Number 1 or Idiot Number 2? (as quoted from Jun)
Huh? Guide me please. I want to vote!!
Our PM don’t accept rose! What can we give?
Feb 16th
In a bid to send a rose to our beloved Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi, it seems
that he doesn’t like or accept rose either.
It is all over the news in Al Jazeera, Reuters, BBC News, BBC Video, Sify News, and AFP.
With the widely international coverage of the protest news, it is “just another day of
international shame for Malaysia (Lim Kit Siang)”. I couldn’t agree more.
The chronicles of 16th February 08 event can be viewed here at Roses4PM.
Malaysiakini has an exclusive video coverage. Please watch and judge yourself.
Aren’t we a democratic country as claimed by YOU Barisan Nasional leader?Let me show you WHAT IS a democratic country. United Kingdom.
Yes, in London, they had the similar protest, but they were of peace. They were not
even disturbed by the British Police. Not even a single water cannon sighted.In Malaysia, here in Kuala Lumpur, the way our government handles street protest
which really reflects the discontent of many Malaysians is different. They resort to
the usage of police force, water cannons, and tear gas.
For God’s sake, “They came in peace, seeking justice.” (Haris Ibrahim)
It was intended to be a peaceful event. No fight or any disturbance created.
I mean, of course there is a disturbance in a protest, else it wouldn’t be called
a protest in the first place. But, when it comes to a “peaceful” event, it means no
weapons, no fights but just chanting of names, crying out for help and well shouts.
You see, we are just human and being a human, we voice out what we do not like.
You BN leaders tells us there are avenues where we can voice out. But the problem
is, DO YOU LISTEN? If you don’t even want to listen to our “peaceful” protest,
what more can we expect from the other avenues we can go and complaint?
It is more like talking to deaf ears!
It is just not fair that we all Malaysians are treated like animals where you think
you can just arrest us and make sure we fear you. WHY MUST WE FEAR YOU!?
You can go ahead and keep on arresting all of us Malaysians for we will still stand
on our ground and fight on for a better Malaysia for all of Malaysians.
Although I would say Malaysia is a beatiful country but I just couldn’t agree much
as it is YES a beautiful country FROM THE OUTSIDE, but NOT INSIDE!
When our Prime Minister don’t accept roses, what else can we give him eh?
I say we give him our piece of mind on this coming 12th General Election!!
Malaysia Boleh!!
May 13th
So, my previous post about Malaysia has now bring up more meaning.
Two monkeys or better known Member of Parliament (MP) have just
set another milestone in Malaysia Boleh in Parliament on May 4th.
Pic Source: BN MPs Berates ALL Women!
It took 4 days for the BN MP Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil to get hit
by the newswave and make a reply via TheStar. I would rather say “via”
because TheStar ownz by them.. what better way to reply to the country
than their own newspaper?
Several NGOs also voice their concerns also as reported.
Then, another milestone set.. I meant not to say I choosy for the news
or what la, but I mean, you see Puteri Nasi Kandar was opened by Ibrahim.
The brother of our beloved PM, YB Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi and he
himself officiates the outlet during the Johor floods!
They now “Tutup Kedai” already!!
More at Screenshots.
Even when I was participating in the forum of FlyerTalk, here is what I saw
Last time I “upgraded” from J to F KUL to FCO with 2 X $100 USD slipped into my passport. I have friends who did the same (they told me about it). MH is notoriously corrupt.Good Luck
In thread Upgrades at airport on Malaysia Airlines
I do not seem to disagree with the author mtacchi. It seems to general that
we carry our cultures everywhere.. Malaysia Boleh eh?
Anyways.. roses was sold out! Wahrao!! hehe
Am so tired now..
Lewis Hamilton won the F1 Race, Felipe Massa 2nd and 3rd Alonso.
Monday here I come.. 
but with Half-day work tmr. Settle some stuffs..
Malaysia. Good, Bad or Ugly?
May 8th
What do you think of Malaysia in general?
Do you feel like you belong here?
Are you regretting that why were you born here rather than Australia?
Many people would say, get rich here, and then pack your bags and run to
other countries like Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, USA or China…
Where living there is a lot better than Malaysia.
Political wise, yeah I can see, hear and feel it myself that it is VERY
discriminating. Malays fight words with Chinese la, Indians being cornered
and left out in the building of the nation.
We are living in a country where there is so much diversity but its
just not behaving like it is. We are all living separately. Sad but true.
I could all blame it to the politicians la. I mean, we Malaysians will not be a
racist unless we are taught or being shown to. Just like this politician in
the video below where he is in the Parliament and this is how he acts.
What a monkey huh? I pity the oppositions who continues to fight
for the cause of the people, free speech, free country, no racism and
fight for what the country is meant to be. A democratic country.
I have many friends in Australia now, studying or working.
I was chatting with Pooi Yee earlier about her studies at Aussie…
She never regretted studying in Australia and she still miss her family
and friends over here in Malaysia. She said “Malaysia is where the heart lies”
I told her
The grass looks better at the other end of the world. BUT! One thing. There is only one lovely place where you can yell your lungs out
” Ah Neh! Makan, Nasi Lemak Ayam tambah Mata Kerbau.
Minum, Teh Tarik Kurang Manis Satu!”
And you can yell it out 24-hours a day 364 days a year. (minus deepavali)
Whenever people leaves the country because of our infamous screwed up
politics, I will ask “Why? Why you leave and let this country go rotten?”
Its always the answer, “It is already in bad shape and its turning bad!”
I would say, no its not. Its you people who are leaving who is making it worst.
Think who are the people running this country at most in the parliament?
Would you want to let these people ruin the country by giving directions
and which not everyone wants and love? Why not make a change? How?
Run to another country, but come back when there is election in your
local councils or when there is general elections.
If you don’t vote for people who can make a change, your votes will be sold.
Believe not? YOU MUST BELIEVE.
But well, you can’t change other people’s decision right… hmmss…
I still love this country, but politics overrules everything else here…

Alternative Course on New Economic Policy (NEP)
Jan 8th
Kursus Alternative – Dasar Ekonomic Baru (DEB)
The New Economic Policy (NEP) was introduced in 1971 to steer the
country’s economy to a new growth. It was launched after the riot of 1969 that
have seen many imbalances among ethnic groups in economic distributions.
The NEP underscored the importance of achieving socio-economic goals
alongside pursuing economic growth objectives as a way of creating harmony
and unity in a nation with many ethnic and religious groups.
The overriding goal was national unity.
To achieve this goal, two major strategies were adopted:
1)To reduce absolute poverty irrespective of race through raising income
levels and increasing employment opportunities for all Malaysians; and
2)To restructure society to correct economic imbalances so as to reduce and eventually eliminate the identification of race with economic function.
Source: Economic Planning Unit
From what is quoted from the original version and the real on-going version
is SO MUCH different. The original version is being steered towards the
direction of racial-segregation. We can really see the big agenda that the
ruling political party is forcing towards and the minorities are being shut
for discussion and finding the TRUTH.
The rational is this; when the Centre for Public Policy Studies (ASLI) came
up with the “Proposals for Ninth Malaysian Plan” report. It was shot down
hard till it is proclaimed “Die-Cock-Standing“.
The national bumiputera equity reported in the report is 18.9% and overnight
it was shot down, WRONG, and the correct figure was given by Dr. Awang
Adel (Deputy Finance Minister) at 36.6% as of 07/11/06 but on another
hand, Dato Seri Mohd Effendi Norwawi (Minister in PM Department) said
that it is 21.8% on 13/11/06. Huh? ^$%@#$#
So is the bumiputera equity has been going on uphill and downhill?
Maybe on the 20/11/06 it rises to 40%?
Government people don’t really know the real figures and they CryOutLoud?
The pointer is here. WHY is there so much a hoo-haa about bumiputera
equity while this whole country consist not only to one ethnic group.
Now you see where is the New Economic Policy is heading towards?
The whole country is dumbfounded by all these goons fighting for the RIGHT.
Let’s all just sit down and discuss openly is the solution of Youth 4 Change.
Initiated by Youth 4 Change (Y4C) and jointly organized by National Young
Lawyers Committee (NYLC) will be an alternative courses on NEP.
These courses will look in-depth into the whole New Economic Policy and
what are the goods and bads of this whole policy.
COME TOGETHER, SHARE and DISCUSS ON THIS MATTER.
There will be FOUR sessions to be held. The details are as below.
Location : Bar Council Auditorium (13,15,17 Leboh Pasar Besar,KL)
11 Jan 2007 (Khamis) “Bayangkan Malaysia tanpa DEB?”
11 Jan 2007(Thursday) “Imagine Malaysia without NEP?”
18 Jan 2007 (Khamis) “Apakah pandangan akademik terhadap DEB?”

Toll Hike. The TRUTH!
Jan 5th
The truth is – YOU ARE BEING CHEATED!!
By the Barisan Nasional lawmakers. The much “trusted” government of our
beloved country!!
26th December 2006, I’ve signed a petition against toll hike.
Today, the truth was revealed by Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR).
PKR got their hand on the agreement between Lingkaran Trans Kota Berhad
(Litrak) and the government. I would say that is a very brave move to
tell the public and show them what the F**K is the government is trying
to proof to all the taxpayers. They might face the Official Secrets Acts (OSA).
In the content of the agreement between the two parties :
It was revealed that, the toll concession is just a wayang (show).
It was revealed also that, Litrak has been gaining some handsome profits
ever since year 2005 (80 million).
It was revealed also that, Samy Vellu, Public Works Department Minister
is LYING to us that, these concessionaire are making LOSS!
“That goes to show Litrak will be making net profits at the rakyat’s expenses as Samy is on his way to compensate Litrak using the taxpayers’ money,” said DAP’s Ronnie Liu.
I totally agree how Ronnie Liu summarizes this whole thing.

Youth 4 Change!!
Oct 20th
There is a group within us that we do not know much about has born..
Thanks to the initiators Khai Loon and Yee Ling…
Youth 4 Change’s main objective is to encourage youths to be active in
political agenda and also to pursue for a more transparency and democratic
government and local governence.
Read more about them at http://y4c.seacem.com
I was invited to one of their open public forum on New Economic Policy(NEP)
and “ASLI Research on Bumi Equity”. It was very eye-opening and to me,
more youths should be encouraged to join this kind of open discussion..
Some of the pointers we talked about during this forum are mainly on how
NEP was constructed and the hidden agendas behind NEP and also the ASLI
report on bumi equity share which was much being talked around the country.
The ASLI report was being viewed only at one point but there are also many
other point that we can view the report and one of the was the methology
ASLI used on their research.. and ASLI was being shot because of their report
that was “pressume” WRONG by the government.
What is so important about bumi-equity anyway, in my own opinion.
No matter how much you champion 30% of bumi-equity, the country has
not seen tremendous growth just like Singapore or any of our neighbouring
countries whom are doing far better than us!!
Another main pointers also is the involvement of Youths in day-to-day agenda.
Mainly in how our country is being run and the local governence..
We elect our representative to run and rule our country, but in the end, we
are being stabbed at the back for not getting much and benefit from them
being appointed because in-fact appointing them benefit them the most.
We all can make a change we know what is going and and we all take care
of our surrounding. Looking at our current situation in our government, we
all need change. BADLY…
Mr. Mayor.. I call this stupidity!!
Oct 10th
Just plain stupidity is my conclusion…
In today’s NST article on the collapse of hill in Wangsa Maju
City mayor Datuk Ruslin Hassan said, “I will ask the relevant government agencies to do a study on the soil strength and the building structure.”
How can a City Mayor not know the danger when it is so obvious!!
And he can make these kind of comments? His people should be on rounds
to check on each slopes or hill in the city where there is residents to ensure
safety.. Why are we paying tax for him to sit there and give this answer?
Haven’t he heard, prevention is better than cure?
Tell me people by just looking at this picture, how safe is the flat?
Complaints has been made SIX days before yesterday’s tragedy.
No one cares to take action, mainly because, there isn’t money to be pocketed?
Anuar, yang telah tinggal di flat itu selama 19 tahun, mendakwa hakisan kecil tanah telah berlaku sebelum ini.“Empat hari lepas saya perhatikan ada pergerakan tanah berlaku. Saya telah berulang kali membuat aduan tetapi pihak berkuasa tidak begitu mengendahkannya,” katanya.
(Anuar who stays there for 19 years, saw some land movement and made several complaints but not relevant authority would give a care on it)
In my own words on the authority.. “like they give two fXXks!!??”
I was taking a cab to my client’s office and nicely talking to him about how was
Puasa (fasting month) going along.. then came the news from the radio..
It was about the Wangsa Maju lanslide case…
He straight away blasted on the authority..
“tengokla..sudah runtuh baru nak buat kerja.. Tak payahla.. buang masa!!”
(see.. already destroy only do work, no need to do!! wasting time)
“Itu utusan ah, sudah satu minggu ada report pasal ini hal.. tak da orang nak
pergi tengok dan repair.. Semua tidur je dan makan duit.. kita semua ni kerja
macam gile babi nak cari makan, itu gomen senang senang, ini hal berlaku
baru nak bangun!!”
(that Utusan paper said the resident reported this case weeks before, no goes
and see the matter and mend it.. all sleeping and eating money.. we all work
like dog to make living, the govt. easy easy.. this thing happen only wake up!!)
All I can do is just, say “biasalah bang, itu goverment kita ma..”
(that’s normal bro, that’s our government)
I hate to say it, but I had to.. When can only our government change!!??
For the better please, not for the worst, what I’ve been seeing is moving
towards WORST..
*sigh*
