YAHMEH!!!

And We Thought We Have The Best Laksa!

2012-03-04T14:41:00.001+08:00

Your pick: World's 50 most delicious foods
The world has voted and we now know the name and origin of the world's most delicious food. But have you eaten it?

In the above reader's choice report in CNNGo, BolehLand seemed to either be missed by food adventurers or we serve terrible bad food. In the top 50, BolehLand's ranking as opposed to the tiny red dot south of Johor was:

1 Rendang, Indonesia
2 Nasi Goreng, Indonesia
13 Chicken Rice, Singapore
26 Penang Laksa, Malaysia
29 Chilli crab, Singapore
44 Roti Prata, Singapore
45 Laksa, Singapore

Makes us wonder the millions ringgit our Cuti-Cuti Malaysia has used to create earth shattering website and Facebook is supposed to be having an impact on visitors at least in the cuisine department. Bet Ms Tourism Malaysia will yearn for a more fairer reader's choice report and think our republic has stolen what is our local and native specialty huh?

And for World's 10 best cities for foodies. London for offal, New York for pork, Shanghai for dumplings. Some cities go above and beyond the normal call of culinary duty - Bolehland is again beaten by the tiny dot down south hah!

4 Street food, Singapore!

So while we probably take first spot for politicising every minute aspect of our life- Things that matter near and dear to us are being bypassed, hijacked or stolen from us, by down south and other ASEAN neighbours however you wish to look at it.

So, are we truly Asia if we are not in people's choice in supposed non political things like food? Oh forgot there is the halal and haram logo issue and now wearing gloves to make your canai! Perhaps next year we will be No 1 for the cleanest roti canai in the world eh?

Maids Dishonoured

2012-03-04T14:16:00.006+08:00

About 20,000 households waiting for foreign maids will mean 20000 more migrants flowing into BolehLand!

And the hope of Indonesia lifting the ban of their maids to BolehLand doesn't seem to be in the horizon. Latest report is the Indonesian government is considering extending the ban moratorium because of recent reports of maid abuse. This time involving a senior government official and wife!

Even if the NST editorial is pleading not to punish the innocent on account of a few offenders, it is the Indonesian government's duty to send a message that it wants its people protected. Already their people are leaving their homeland and being paid rather low wages and also having to be subjected to mistreatment.

The Indonesian government has been accused by human rights activists of not doing enough to protect their migrant workers. Now they seek to protect their fellow citizens working as lowly paid maids and other menial jobs that BolehLand folks shun, they should be praised and supported, rather than being told they are not doing enough for their citizens or being unfair.

Should BolehLand folks and household think that the Indonesians are punishing us for not allowing their maids to come over? Are we being so arrogant because we think we have the money that our supposedly poorer neighbours will kow tow to our ringgit and rush over to be our servants, pun intended.

Having had foreign maids as well as local, it is incumbent on the employer to treat them well. After all, if one is supposed to fight against social ills injustice and what not, one shouldn't be a hypocrite and commit sin and discrimination against the maids right?

Remember when I gave more than the agreed upon monthly salary and didn't keep the passport and allowed weekly day off including national holidays, I was accused of disrupting the market!!! And these coming from your own blood who reverently go to church and pray more times than my Muslim friends! I didn't want to be part of the hypocrisy!

The Indian maid stayed until she got married and now have a happy family. Any regrets that I disrupted the market price? No not a bit not a single bit.

Friends have their share of horror stories of their maids from one emptying the house (thank God, they left the kids at home) to naughty affair with husbands and sons, to stealing and what have you. Admittedly they will be thorns among the roses. Hey even in our own place of work and blood ties we have such characters. We expect our maids to be angels and slaves huh?

So how do we cope without foreign maids? Pay more for local we don't want. Look for foreign ones, we expect them to be super moms or dads like us. If we can't trust anyone to take care of our kids or elderly, don't hire any right?

Rather than try and rationalise with our Indonesian authorities and plead for them to release their maids to us where some will face hell, it would do us good if our government is seen to do something to protect abused maids as well as horror maids who victimise their employers.

We tend to downplay on abuses of both parties. Friends when reading of maids reported being abused are quick to snap 'there are two sides to a coin' and give the benefit of doubt to the employer. Some even boast their maid works two jobs, at their home and their business! Shouldn't I report them huh?

So rather than writing editorial to plead to foreign governments BolehLand folks are generally good and protect their employees, the government must be seen to act swiftly against reports of maids abused by employees and maids who abuse their employers!

And stop grumbling how expensive to maintain a maid like putting a cost to raising your kids or taking care of your ole folks pehleaseeeeee!

Sorry Seems the Hardest Word

2012-03-04T12:27:00.001+08:00

Postscript to posting below:

A media friend called to correct the error in the posting below that no 'sorry' word was used. It was reported in today's The Star that 'sorry' was used. Hmmm not subscribing to MSMedia, had to go buy one and lo and behold on page 2 this was published...
“We have learnt from the mistakes and we are sorry.
“The winners are sorry ... and the losers, too, are sorry,” he said, pledging to the people of Kedah that Barisan would rise again to build an even better state government than the one they have now... Sunday Star, 3 March 2012.

And this blogger must be a gentleman to have the courage to say "I am sorry to have assumed that the 'sorry' word was not said.

But why sorry to Kedah folks and not the rest of BolehLand? It was still a long time in waiting for the 'sorry'. But has things changed for the better in saying 'sorry'?
So to be fair the sections in the original posting has been removed or rewritten.

***************
I apologise, vote us back and you won't regret!

There is a difference between saying 'I am sorry' and 'I apologise'. It takes a man, real honest man to say I'm sorry. The man who fudges and stop short of denting his ego says I apologise.

Wonder if it was Brit dream team PR strategy to ask his client to apologise because they believe BolehLand folks have very short memory...you know the 'mudah lupa' folks who will eat the words out of the remorseful leader and give him the BOD, benefit of doubt, forgive him and give him another change right?

Two leaders admitted to mistakes and apologised, See below.

"If we didn't get it right, I'm sorry. But we will try better the next time.""We're sorry we didn't get it exactly right, but I hope you will understand and bear with us because we are trying our best to fix the problems,"... Lee Hsien Loong, PM Singapore, May 2011... and lost 5 seats.

"We have learnt from the mistakes and we are sorry...I believe that we should not be arrogant. In a parliamentary democracy, we have to subject ourselves to the power of the people. We must have made mistakes for the people to have rejected us. We apologise for our past mistakes. The victors apologise, as do the losers...Let the past remain just that. We promise a transformation for the people of Malaysia, and Kedah. The journey has begun"...1Malaysia, March 2012... and hope to get back two thirds majority?

Are the victors apologising here or the losers huh?

It's more than 3 years overdue but still better late than never for an apology right? But do the people want apology or for change? No use just apologise say will do something and it turns out things are not better especially for race relations, religious tolerance and even fairness in business, education and a whole lot of things that seem to make BolehLand sick.

So much billions and spin are being used to paint a bright picture of the good feel in BolehLand. It's only the exterior the facade and all those powerpoint and charts of successes to convince ordinary rural folks all is well in BolehLand.

If it's so, why are murders unsolved or even justice not seen to be given to the families of the murdered dead people whose names start with a letter A to T and are we going to reach dead person with name Z to find justice huh?

So much of religious zealots and holier than thou attitude in handling religious issue and the lives of ordinary folks especially those not of the official religion.

So much of effort taken to assure rights and privileges of one race is safeguarded till eternity while the rest are assured they get a share after the majority ie the elite few get what they want.

So much of leakage, waste, corruption, bailouts, avoiding facing up to losses and going after those responsible. Delaying justice to obvious cases of wrongs done from one side while swift action against the other side based on a whimper of rumour or police report most times even a three year old report huh?

And you are sorry you lost seats huh?

To those listening to the apology it likely sounds like this...We apologise we sc***d up and we will do our best to correct it. Vote us in and we guarantee you we'll perfect the art of scratching your back till you cry in pain. And vote us in you won't be sorry or regret because the next time we get back power it will be PAYBACK TIME and we will sc*** you all again, even better and we don't need to apologise because you gave us the power to sc*** you hah!

So will we be reminded we are Asian and we should accept someone's apology especially the sincerity of our elders and leaders, forgive and forget and give chance again huh? All will kau tim and end well eh?

Sob, apologise, sorry, vote us back and you won't regret!

We are sorry, we apologise, We were drunk with power. Forgive us and when we dry our tears of apology we will get back to what we did best before we lost but better at it and when we become more powerful and it will be PAYBACK TIME! owoooooo, wooooof, wolf, wolf.

Race Vigilantes A(A)Ttack Racism

2012-03-03T22:59:00.000+08:00

Given the seemingly rise of racism to gain votes, it's good to have NGOs who are race vigilantes filing police reports against any person, group, race and political party who are 'racists' and humiliating one's own race, or this or that race.

We stereotype racist fellos as all those in race based parties which in Bolehland, there isn't any one party that is multi racial really. In both BN and Pakatan, their existence and survival seem to be all or majority race based. Noone party can claim it is multinational NOT ONE!

NGOs can also join with the political parties as racist in nature even though they claim to protect this or that race. Speaking of race based NGOs Perkasa seems to come into mind and lately even martial arts association are taking on a racist slant, remember the million strong silat defenders ready to chop chop chop kick kick kick and kill kill kill hah! Then the Perkid, then you have Hindraft, then the Huazhong.

Gosh it seems BolehLand is so race divided and divided along race! plus one official religion against the others branded as pagan and infidels by those who don't believe in religious pluralism. And taking the lead is this 1Malaysia policy that does little in substance to break down racial barriers except the superficial rituals of announcing salam 1Malaysia, and the usual show of cultural pluralism during festivities and put up for the tourists.

Simply because when we want to celebrate, party or have a good time, it's still divided along race. Everything has to have race sensitivities. Food, concerts, celebrations, dress code, worship, entertainment, business, housing zones, keeping pets, almost every thing happening in BolehLand everyone is reminded to be sensitive to this or that race including religion, ie the official religion.

AAT's vigilante is spine chilling and sending cold shivers against anyone who
insults Indians. Picture copyright from Malaysia Today.

So what do we make of this new NGO calling itself Alternative Action Team (AAT) another race vigilante out to make police reports against anyone who insults the Indians. Even if they make a report almost three years later against a Pakatan leader must surely make any racist get cold shivers because this AAT is really serious about stopping all the nonsense insulting against the Indians. Perhaps AAT have finished handling present insults and is now doing a retro scanning of all available broadcasting to expose and make police reports against anyone who insults the Indians.

Given AAT's readiness to attack racist and racists with police reports, all those who have uttered insults at the Indians since the British brought them into Malaya must surely be getting cold shivers now. You never know when AAT will be on the attack against you. Dear QEII must be so worried now eh?

Perhaps AAT should also investigate who insulted the Indians for making them to beg for scholarships, money for the Tamil schools, those who demolish temples and shrines, who is giving unemployment to Indians, who made so many Indians living below the poverty line. And for Indians not given privileges and rights to business licences, scholarships, homes and what have you. And worse for those who show disrespect of holy Hindu festivals of the Indians and grouping their religion as infidels and pagans together with Christians, Buddhism etc.

One isn't sure of AAT's motive or who their allegiance is but looking at their action, it's not too difficult to conclude correctly who they are aligned to right? Wonder if this also constitute insulting the Indians because one is insulting their action as being politically motivated, no?

But if you are only interested in Indian rights and race, isn't it also insulting other races by not being sensitive to their demands and needs too huh AAT?

Our IA and Perkasa including that China-apek turned anti tea lover Tee must be trembling now because they must brace for an attack from AAT if ever these fellows insulted the Indians. What about those other race based parties and fellows who are only wanting things for their own race and not sharing it with the Indians, what say you AAT? Are they not insulting the Indians for not giving them a share too huh?

Toxic Logic to Toxic Waste

2012-03-03T19:08:00.002+08:00

The Lynas Rare Earth plant is churning out controversy and the way the authorities responsible, namely our atomic energy fellow and the Heath Minister's logic of handling the issue, make them look like lying through their nose about the real dangers of radioactive wastes.

pix from online Malaysia Kini

Does it require ordinary folks to have a PhD in nuclear science to know the dangers of toxic waste? The logic given by the authorities of safe toxic wastes, shipping it to Australia and now citing it away from the plant to a safer place amounts to the authorities using toxic logic to assure the residents of the areas.

Gosh, are our people competent to know what the heck they are talking about? If they are contradicting each other about the toxicity of the waste and its disposal, how are we ordinary folks supposed to believe them!

There is perhaps too much at stake to close the plant especially it being in the State where 1Malaysia comes from and the supposedly big bucks in getting the plant operating.

So money as always take precedent over peoples' views. In the Lynas case, it seems it's not about People First but Money First. Why should the authorities worry because they are all safe in Putrajaya and their multi million ringgit mansions far away from the site?

Don't be surprised that the authorities will use every argument to convince us the toxic materials are safe and that the authorities are so detailed and careful they will assure 101% safety of the plant. Perhaps they will even say we got a nuclear research and it hasn't annihilated anyone yet huh?

But we know the kind of safety standards we have. Hey even the new MACC building is turning green and becoming like a Miniature Agro Conservatory for aCervulus (fungi) cultivation due to the poor quality and workmanship!

How safe are the facilities at Lynas? Do we keep our faith in the engineer? Or our atomic agency?

We are doing a bad job disposing our household waste, talk about toxic waste!

We must not let big government bully ordinary helpless folks and their toxic logic to bulldoze the plant through.

If we believe the authorities the toxic waste is so safe, why not use it for building materials or grow food crops huh? Perhaps tear down MACC and use the soil from Lynas for cement mixture. If mould still comes out from the wall, the soil is safe. If no mould or fungi, then the radioactive would have killed all the spores right? Hah!

Or carry a lorry load and dump it into the backyard of the Health Minister and the atomic agency chief or putrajaya leader's home for landscape. Hey, why not dump it into every BN minister's home. NFC could do with free soil to grow grass for their cows right?

It is always easy for us who stay away from such danger zones to scold those affected by being unreasonable and against progress. Like highways and MRT stations right at your home, condos beside your home, business complexes beside your home... you seem helpless because big bucks see the small person as pests to them making more big bucks.

It's always the ordinary folks who suffer. Three Mile High, Chernobyl, Fukushima were supposedly invincible, safe. And who suffer when disasters strike? The ordinary folks.

Why is Lynas like the Holy Grail to pump money to the high debt ridden government huh? 1Malaysia has already boasted we have super efficient tax collection and should be thankful BolehLand folks are civil minded to pay their taxes.

So shut Lynas down because it won't make us bankrupt right?

Pakatan Art of Losing

2012-03-03T14:01:00.002+08:00

The Pakatan Rakyat have been given a golden opportunity to provide an alternative to the ruling Barisan Nasional.

Since getting unprecedented support from the people in GE12, have they really shown to be able to prove they are a viable government in waiting?

Looking back at the over three years record of their performance in the States they ruled, they have actually not shown they are able to govern well. Not that they are not trying hard, It's their inability to see the bigger picture ahead. They have been saddled with so much of wasted time and energy in their own warlords power play. The loss of Perak didn't reduce the greed for power in DAP. Now it's Kedah's turn. Selangor was embroiled in their own power play. Penang, well, more of outsiders trying to paint a dirty racist bovine DAP is towards the mamak, malays, indians even Chinese!

The present Kedah power struggle is really sickening and it will be one reason for voters to turn away from them. Isn't to PAS, God is more important over political power? Why is it they are not able to find common ground their party is beholden to?

Even PR's boast of forming a shadow government is still as blur and ghosts seem more real than their shadow government! They are more indulging in shadow boxing with one another, warlords scheming behind the leadership to vie for power! Too many shadowy characters out to destroy and wreck havoc of their chances in GE13.

PR seems to have fallen flat on their faces or standing wrong-side up in their struggle!

In Selangor, though many feel there is more freedom to oppose the State government, PR has somewhat neglected on basic facilities. OK water is free, now free wifi in PJ. But hello, the rubbish collection has gone to the dumps! Collection is erratic, even the basic cleanliness in taking your trash is disregarded. Potholes are getting bigger. According to friends in the know, it seems the federal fellos are neglecting the roads in KL and major towns under Pakatan even if the roads are under them to give the impression the Pakatan fellos are not doing their job!

If it is true, then we know how evil the federal government is, not that we already don't know anything new of how they are also using dirty tactics to sabotage the PR governments. Already PR have to fight with the all too obvious institutions of the state such as the law enforcement agencies, MACC and other federal institutions who are every ready to take action against PR fellos from one minuscule isolated three year old insulting Indians video tape police report to even anonymous twitter or blogs!

Hello PR haven't you enough battles to fight in your hands from the onslaughter of these federal agencies and all kinds of agent provocateurs that you have to have to implode within fighting among yourselves huh?

If you can't get your house in order, why should we voters vote for a crumbling house? Of course we want to fight for bigger principles, against corruption, nepotism, abuse of power, bigotry, racism, extremism, equality and all that. Which many think PR is able to deliver. But hey PR is also acting in such a way to contradict all these so called respect of people's rights by doing stupid things too!

PR is really a shadow of BN in so far as all the king's men adopting a herd mentality not to screw their chances in the election. Though we think BN is evil, corrupt and what not, at least you don't see them, well at least the MSMedia don't wish to report their infighting and warlords faction in BN. As they say even crooks love each other!

In PR you have supposedly religious holy and principled men and they can't find love to love one another and hold the fort hah! And they want to capture fortress Putrajaya! Yup dream on PR.

Of late, friends who are PR inclined are really fed up with the way PR fellos are behaving. It's now better to side the devil you know than the holy fellos who are behaving worse than devils hah!

What is this ABU call if PR is like a shadow UMNO, MCA, MIC and BN? There is no viable third force able to rise above race, religion or party interests. Simply because BN has been effective for over 50 years to feed into the rural folks that they are handicap turning them into Article 153 zombies. Rather than ABU, perhaps PR should just drive home this simple message- Politicians don't own this country and they are only keepers of taxpayers money. Voters have the power to replace the custodian of taxpayers' money if they feel the custodian have mishandled and cheated the taxpayer. Just this simple message is enough to tell rural folks, the money BN gives you or use is not theirs but the people. You can get rid of them if they abuse and misuse taxpayers' monies! No need to use race, religion or gender issues to win the election right?

PR infighting behavior is really saving BN lots of money to campaign. While BN leaders are going about handing out money, building schools, repairing roads, our PR fellos are handing out punches towards each other and just behaving like goons! And they blame BN thugs for beating them up!

PR has lost the art of governing and becoming arrogant and wait for BN to make mistakes to win. The truth is BN is succeeding in using the instruments of the state to cover up or get them out of their mistakes. It takes so long to bring the NFC to court but just a RM2k flag purchase resulted in swift action and even a death!

PR cannot depend on rousing up voter's frustration, dissatisfaction and anger over supposedly miscarriage of justice to win them sympathy votes while they carry on showing their incompetency in governing and indulge in warlords struggle.

So voters be careful. Much as you want to ABU or want to replace this evil regime you think it is, beware of all those wolves in sheep clothing in PR who if ever they win in GE13, you will see the warlords fighting like some middle Kingdom in ancient China or what the Middle East was during the Middle Ages or even present day with your own kind killing and sniper-ing your own kind to keep leaders in power hah!

Each day if PR are showing their inability to govern or group to fight a common cause, they are only perfecting their art of losing in GE13. As it is, friends in my group are either not going to vote or axing PR out by putting an X on the BN box while the PR fellos are boxing each other's brains and teeth out! To us PR stands for warlords Pakating to Rosak each other or Permanently Rosak!

If PR voters are getting fed up and pessimistic of the ability of PR, don't blame them or the MSMedia or UMNO or BN or the institutions of the state. They should know by now how not to behave to give their opponents an opportunity to paint a negative and weak PR. Why is PR sabotaging themselves giving ammunition for their opponents to create mountains of all the little grain of sandhills they create? It's call stupidity on the part of PR. They can't go on playing the crying kid and scream unfair because they know what they are up against but choose to fall into the trap! Don't expect voters to hand you a lifeline for showing your stupidity.

Sadly PR have not grown wiser or grown up. They are becoming delinquent each day giving their opponents a field day to malign them hah! Of course PR supporters will think this blogger a lunatic and shrug off just one sicko selling my soul to the evil BN right? PR please don't take us for desperate morons who will blindly support you because we don't like the alternative. PR if you alienate the middle and upper middle group who voter for you in GE12, they will alienate you!

So PR, stop perfecting the Art of Losing and give us a reason why we should support you the lesser devil and not the devil we know ah?

Apology to Badu

2012-03-01T15:47:00.001+08:00

So the Nation of Moderates and World's Best Democracy continues to be ruled by not so moderate religious clerics and Cabinet Ministers in the World's Worst Demon behaving crazy folks. BolehLand government has shown noone messes with them when it comes to religion, one particular religion that is.

While those who are not of that religion and God should not be so kpc and just accept whatever is imposed, we are confused what can or cannot be done or rather what does God really want, or is it man playing God wants? My God doesn't take offence so is it my God is not the true god and pagan compared to the One who caused the ban huh? So confusing!

The MSMedia that published the photo of Erykah Badu with a the name of God on her body has to profusely apologised and beg for forgiveness for their insensitivity going all out to issue an apology for Badu's photo on the printed and online edition of their publication.

The Healer (Hip Hop) lyrics
Chorus:
Humdi Lila Allah Jehova
Yahweh Dios Ma'ad Jah
Rastafara fyah dance, sex, music, hip-hop

It's bigger than religion
hip-hop
it's bigger than my niggas
hip-hop
it's bigger than the government
(humdi luli lali lulo)
This one fa' Dilla, hip-hop
(humdi luli la, humdi luli la lilulo, humdi lulila humdi lulilaaa...)

part lyrics from Badu's 'The Healer'

If Badu was allowed to perform and sang the above song, it would be curtains down literally hah!

Tattoo is considered worst than probably lying cheating corruption and murder to BolehLand Muslims. The world's largest population didn't think anything about this body art even if the name of God was tattooed on one's body part.

As expected the ketuanan party went on their predictable rage venting it at The Star demanding it be banned. Of course it's understandable for Perkasa, the defender of the umat and faith to scream and demand that head's roll in a publication that does not have halal editors. Rightly so the Christian and whatever non Muslim faith of those responsible for the photo should be admonished by Muslims for weakening, humiliating and committing sacrilege against their God. How can we allow the pagan editors for insulting your God right?

But then shouldn't you be even more raged and insulted if your own kind disregard what angers God, tattooing the Almighty name on your body and worse tattooing is sinful for the believer? So should not Perkasa organised a mass million umat march towards the Indonesian embassy for not respecting their own religion and allow Badu to perform there. Should not Perkasa, the Cabinet, especially the Informed Minister take great offence at an ASEAN and most popular Muslim nation for allowing someone who insulted their religion to perform on their soil.

Perhaps Perkasa and the Cabinet should send out their religious squads and ask all the migrant Indonesians in BolehLand, legal or illegal doesn't matter, why they allow their government to allow a pagan who has insulted their religion and God to perform on their holy ground huh?

Were not infidels and pagans so often warned in BolehLand not to insult and weaken the sensitivities of the chosen people and religion? While these holy fellos are asking to dim out the lights in The Star, why didn't they take action against the very person who had a disgusting and disrespectful tattoo that caused all their fury already in their holy soil in BolehLand.

Why is The Star being picked upon as humiliating and showing sensitivity, while the person who did the act here in BolehLand was left free to even hold a press conference. Why didn't they hurl her up and flog her? Why the double standard? Why attack the infidel and pagan The Star editors and let the offender walk free to fly to perform in the world's largest Muslim population nation huh?

We have only to believe the words of our Ministers, not that we believe them to be wise, rational, moderate or tolerant when a certain nasi eating minister said, :

“If the concert had gone ahead, according to the police, there would have been a possibility of it developing into a situation that may might led to social excitement. It could lead to quarrels due to the religious sensitivities, like what had happened in other places in the world. “The strong grounds in terms of the integrity of the religion, race and the Government itself had to be taken into consideration besides security factors..."

Social excitement? integrity of religion, race? and the government itself (well the integrity issue has always been known to be at zero level anyway) ... security factors? Gosh are we talking about Iran, Afghanistan, Taliban controlled states huh?

If we are to believe our leaders that they know the people inside out, they telling us we are all stupid, weak morons who get socially excited and behave like raging zombies, then it makes us ordinary folks weaklings who are led to behave the way the government and religious bodies tells us to right?

PAS be warned about using their party symbol being painted on faces etc. And what about henna temporary body painting which is similar to temporary tattoo right? They should be considered dangerous as they may cause integrity issue to both the one painted upon and those seeing it and social excitement both on the one painted upon and those seeing it too (after all the henna artwork is supposed to make the gurl sexy and excite the menfolks right hah!) - and these henna art should all be banned right?

And we should also ban those who wear other religious symbols, cross, Jewish, Buddhist or what have you symbols or tattoos because they will cause social excitement and weaken the fans who belong to one religion that considers such symbols a threat to their faith eh?

Also any music verse that mentions God, pagan Gods as that may constitute proselytizing to Muslim fans huh?

And The Star trying to kow tow and kiss derrieres behaving typically like the stereotypical China-apek of trying to win favours and beg for forgiveness to ensure they get food a plenty and that thousands won't lose their jobs if The Star is closed, have resorted to suspending the pagans and infidel editors responsible and ah, appointing the chosen ones to assume extra duties of overseeing and guiding the newspaper on issues pertaining to Muslim sensitivities.

Wonder if other MSMedia namely NST and Utusan would also appoint infidels and pagans to assume extra duties of overseeing and guiding the newspaper on issues pertaining to non-Muslim sensitivities, huh?

Actually, the non Muslims would respect and praise the Cabinet and government if they really banned The Star and shut it down. It will show they really mean what they say instead of threatening. Hey your God has been insulted and you accept an apology? They are ever so quick to flog one who drank alcohol and sent one to possible execution for defiling the Prophet (pbbuh), Why the double standard towards the pagan infidel controlled The Star huh? Are they sending the message that non Muslims are given kid glove treatment while those of the faith deserve more huh? Forgive them for their ignorance?

Noone apologised to Badu for being humiliated and shamed. Well Badu has more sensitivity and brains that our leaders. Her song says it all too. But to Erykah Badu, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus and non Muslims (we can't speak on Muslims behalf least we be accused of being insensitive and insulting) in Bolehland, we apologise for the way you have been treated and we are sorry you are made to be a greater sinner than our Cabinet ministers and the holy men of BolehLand.

Hope you have a great tour and concert in Indonesia and just forget about coming back to BolehLand unless you want to go through hell and humiliation again.

To all artists including local ones in BolehLand please abide by the Cabinet, Perkasa, PAS and Muslim religious clerics when you want to perform in BolehLand. Some of the haram no-nos that will cause a ban are as follows.

- No tattoo whether temporary or permanent, hidden and exposed of any verse, name or symbol depicting Islam, that includes motives of nature, half moon, full moon, green moon, white moon on green background.
- Henna for wedding involving Muslims should similarly be banned as they are a form of tattoo, temporary doesn't matter as tattoo is not allowed
- those with same-same gender past, present or future not allowed (which may result in only 1% of local performers and rockers being banned from performing hah)
- songs sang by same gender singers
- verses that promote love, free love, kisses or you are my greatest love, anything that extols a superlative higher than the Almighty is banned. Singing you are my greatest love will get you a flogging because only God should be your greatest love
- rockers, heavy metal musicians because these music are considered Satan's music and an edict has been issued against such music
- all kinds of religious symbols on singers, cross, star of David, amulets banned as might weaken the faith of those Muslims attending. Better still just ban those performers wearing such symbols
- only cabinet approved, national day theme songs and nasyid religious songs are permitted

Gosh it's really difficult making a living as a musician or performing in BolehLand righ? But have no fear BolehLand folks, we are entertained everyday by our leaders, politicians and holy clerics by their antics each day and there is enough of sex, murder, corruption, cheating, racist reports in our media and broadcasting channels to keep us entertained! So who needs Erykah Badu here even without any tattoos to cause social excitement to us all eh? hah!

A lesson from the Cabinet approved ban is a reminder to the non Muslims ministers to also remember to demand a ban against anyone who also causes social excitement and integrity against the other religions and race too okay? Now we are all happy and can tune to RTM and TV3 stations to listen to our World's Best Music and entertainers right?

Thanks to the ban, Muslim colleagues are curious to get her records to listen. God does work in mysterious ways to undo man's godly behaviour and is kinder to Banu isn't He?

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day

Badu's 'Didn't Cha Know'

Whores, Sons and Soil

2012-02-29T20:30:00.000+08:00

Friends have been wondering the rather quiet blips on the blog, thinking that some special branch or security apparatus at the command of the ruling party has whisked me away to be subjected to 'special treatment' by HMS or His Majesty Service.

It was more work that had kept me imprisoned in my own self absorbing world to finish the ever unending work just to ensure there is money coming at the end of the month.

Sometimes, it does pay to earn below RM3,000 a month as you get free money, dirt cheap homes, courtesy of EPF to stay in neighbourhoods that have a commanding view of the Petronas Twin Towers or literally s stone's throw away from the central shopping or financial district.

Like in Kuala Lumpur, so much money is going to be pumped to provide facilities and one wonders if it is the desperation of the city folks to avoid jams, crowded living and not be reminded we are getting to be an expensive city to live in, that the urban folks are not questioning if the projects really cost that much billions.

We spend billions to built an LRT system that doesn't connect because of someone's bright idea to partition the route and now we are spending probably 5 times more to pay for some stupid mistakes to connect them and make others even richer.

It was rather odd to hear that our Malaysian Thais of Thai origin are considered more sons of the soil that other major races principally the Chinese and Indians! Odd, we didn't hear those ketuanan NGOs going berserk their rights and privileges are given out to those who don't belong to the same breed whatever it means or faith!

While everyone wants to be treated special, this conferment of sons of the soil status is a result of another legacy of the appointed 1Malaysia. Those who help me gets help hah! The famous scratching back ransom kind of bargaining with the ordinary voters.

But our Malaysian Thai are not ordinary voters because they have been loyal scratching the back of one party for so long, it's time to let them enjoy the fruits of their scratching.

Which brings to the question, one vote accords you privileges till death do you part, while the thousands of taxes you pay, gets you nothing - at least that is what some race feels.

So now we know that privileges and rights are linked to being loyal, the voting loyalty than paying taxes, working hard, being honest or just wanting a fair share of one's toils and burdens or about a supreme race or faith,

Too bad you China-apek and Indian mari, your votes don't give you any rights simply because you fellows have been so inconsistent in voting for opposition and then switch. There is no place for opportunists voters. But those accorded sons of the soil status are given vast opportunities even if they vacillate in their loyalty.

So to overcome this abuse of privileges, the solution is to change the system that perpetuate it, like in Sabah, the sons of soil status was accorded to many when a new State government took over, remember?

So you China-apek and Indian vello, stop asking for rights and privileges.Just pay your taxes and keep your mouth shut and stay in your corner they direct you.

Speaking of Thais, it was lovely the Thai Prime Minister, duly elected against odds and a women at that, Yingluck Shinawatra visited BolehLand to meet the nonelected, by the people that is, Bolehland leader. Speaks volumes of the kind of tolerance, acceptance and respect our northern neighbours have. And we claim to have the best world democracy when a female is not allowed to be a leader and the women leaders in the government are getting a good hide for scandals than one that earn the respect of the people, hah!

While some hope that the other party are people who respect everyone, you know justice, freedom, respect, transparency and what not, some of the leaders in the hopefuls to rule Putrajaya are behaving like whores. Especially the DAP fellow for branding reporters prostitutes, whores or loose woman, any of this will mean the same thing even if that insensitive MCP apologises he was misquoted. And we accuse reporters of being juvenile delinquent when we have leaders whose brains and mouth are more loose that the loose word to describe the reporters.

Shame on this DAP fellow. Perhaps the DAP are behaving big headed Dreamers Awaiting Putrajaya that he can afford to be sexist, disgusting and humiliating. Having media friends, the MSM should just boycott the DAP since the DAP is always asking the whole country to boycott the MSM!

Such is the contrast in BolehLand when both sides are trying so hard to win votes they are willing to behave worse than whores. And these leaders are supposed to be sons of the country for our young generation to emulate!

PASsing the Vote Around

2012-02-19T15:57:00.002+08:00

In the Chinese vs Chinese warlord tai kohs debate, the government Chinese leader said a vote for DAP is a vote for PAS.

Today, the government Chinese leader, tai koh said a vote for PAS is a vote for DAP. See online news below.

It's certainly a good advice from perhaps the highly paid foreign PR, public relations that is, to remind each race how voting one will mean voting another. Which imply we voters are really stupid morons not knowing who the partners in both the coalition party are, right?

So if voting for DAP is a vote for PAS
And a vote for PAS is a vote for DAP
So too a vote for PKR is a vote for DAP
And a vote for DAP is a vote for PKR
And a vote for PAS is a vote for PKR
And a vote for PKR is a vote for PAS,
The Barisan leaders are really doing the Pakatan fellows a favour by reminding voters who the principal parties are in Pakatan Rakyat.

Unlike in Barisan with so many hanger-ons in BN, imagine if the Pakatan leaders are trying to use the same logic as the Barisan leaders.

A vote for Umno is a vote for MCA
A vote for MCA is a vote for Umno
A vote for Umno is a vote for MIC
A vote for MIC is a vote for Umno
A vote for MCA is vote for MIC
A vote for MIC is a vote for MCA
A vote for Gerakan is a vote for Umno
A vote for Umno is a vote for Gerakan
A vote for PPP is a vote for UMNO
got the hint?

picture copyright from web

Isn't that what a coalition party amounts to? No matter which individual party you vote for, you are effectively acknowledging the others too? A one for all and all for one? If you vote for MCA are you not also voting to give UMNO power to rule and be the tai koh over the rest of the BN partners? Or is the BN leader saying a vote for MCA is a vote for MCA because MCA alone will be powerful to be the government of the day?

If we were to follow this PASsing the vote around local logic, the BN fellows are at a disadvantage really. Because if you don't like the nearly two dozen parties in BN, you'd not vote for any of them and you have only three in the other alternative choice to vote right?

It can also work to BN's advantage because if you love any of the nearly two dozen races the BN parties protect, you get a larger voter's share than PR with only three and very weak with representatives of other races, the minorities.

Let's not use party name but instead say
A vote for DAP is a vote for Islam
A vote for PAS is a vote for Islam is protected and defended
A vote for PKR is a vote for justice, equality
A vote for PR is a vote for loose morality, gender equality

A vote for UMNO is a vote for ketuanan Melayu
A vote for MCA is for ketuanan Melayu
A vote for MIC is for ketuanan Melayu

A vote for MCA is a vote for begging for a share in doing business
A vote for MIC is a vote for begging to retain Tamil schools
A vote for UMNO is a vote to ensure Islam is protected and defended
A vote for Gerakan is hoping to get some crumbs after the first round of begging for crumbs from MCA and MIC to UMMO is finished

Hmm that would surely confuse us voters right?

One could get a legitimate well earned Doctorate in Curtin University just to research on the vote mapping implications arising from this madness to try and figure out voting for this or that party implies, right? At least the PhD is from one's own actual genuine sweat, tears, blood and hard work, using own money and struggling alone supporting family and kids perhaps and the Doctorate is of much higher value than one that is being conferred eh, don't you think Curtin huh?

Now Najib says a vote for PAS is a vote for DAP
By Yow Hong Chieh, February 19, 2012, Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — Datuk Seri Najib Razak appeared to tell Muslims today that a vote for PAS was a vote for DAP, the day after MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek told Chinese voters the reverse.

Without naming either opposition party, the prime minister (picture) cautioned some 400 delegates at the Himpunan Ulama, Cendekiawan Islam dan Penulis Maya here that support for one “faction” will translate into backing for its partner as well.

“Even if we vote for that faction, it is the one who sleeps in the same bed with them that will profit,” he said during his luncheon address, adding that he hoped online writers would get his meaning.

“The Chinese held a debate on Chinese at the crossroads. Muslims too are at a crossroads, more so since the general election is not far off. We must choose, and the one we choose must be able to guarantee the honour and purity Islam.”

Dr Chua warned the Chinese community during his debate with DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng yesterday that a vote for the opposition party was a vote for PAS, which he claimed would impose its Islamist values on non-Muslims.

DAP would not be able to stop PAS from establishing an Islamic state in Malaysia should Pakatan Rakyat (PR) win federal power as “PAS is the taiko (big brother)”, the MCA president said.

Chinese vs Chinese

2012-02-19T15:07:00.000+08:00

The supposedly mother of all Chinese leaders debate is just reinforcing that BolehLand is as race based as ever and difficult for us to wean off the racist in us like trying to ask us to give up on eating nasi lemak or roti canai for breakfast or teh tarik 24/7.

The debate in the first place was opened to a Chinese audience because the topic is so Chinese oriented these two Cinaapek and their followers were behaving like Chinese warlords of ole. Or eunuchs actually because each of them have bigger braders to please. MCA led on the nose by UMNO and DAP on the noose by PAS and PKR.

At least MCA is only the underdog led by the lease by one master, while DAP has to kow tow often to two masters hah!

The 1Malaysia concept has nothing to do about creating a united society and nation of sorts. Simply because you have Malays against Malays due to their political affiliation, Chinese against Chinese, Indians against Indians and others against others. Apart from this parallel dogfight, you get the different entities and species, the cats and dogs so to speak fighting each other.

With so much cross fighting and crossfire, no wonder we need some slogan called 1Malaysia to let the world know that we are united under 1 slogan.

When 1Malaysa takes credit (what's new about a leader who reminds people to pay gratitude for doing what politicians are supposed to do) for making Chinese billionaires, he must be referring to the MCA Chinese than the DAP ones right?

So while it is purposeful to divide the Chinese, one wonders when our leaders tell us they worked hard to make Chinese rich we wonder if they are referring to the MCA Chinese or the rest who don't want to be considered racist but forced to be identified along racist lines.

So just because a few Chinapek are billionaires, the rest of the poor ones are going to be side tracked and ignored and ever more reason to start a new DEP (Deeper unEqual Policy) we can suppose.

Debates along race lines only serve to perpetuate the divided race we are. It should be along party lines not who has done more for the Malays, Chinese or Indians but Malaysians, everyone treated fairly, justly and equally, no?

Does building more Chinese schools improve the poverty of all?

Does fighting to retain gambling and drinking help to address the social ills and crime?

Does using 10 languages on billboards show we are united and understand each other when we communicate?

The debate in Mandarin shows how exclusive the Chinese parties want themselves to be. Is using Mandarin an identifier of the tolerance of our society? Why are we always proud to declare because of this leader or party, we can eat our bak kut teh or wan tan mee or have a Tiger beer in peace huh? Are we being told we need to kow tow to our leaders, Malay or Chinese in this matter for allowing us this basic human right?

BolehLand is not as democratic or free as our leaders seem to boast or even a nation of moderate or the best democracy in the world! Simply because we are on tenterhooks to always be vigilant if our basic human rights are going to be taken away at the whims and fancy of leaders or religious zealots.

The debate reminds the Chinese that as much as you think you want to fight for more noble principles such as justice, corruption, equality and freedom of worship, association and what not, you can't do that because if these do not preserve the Chinese schools or Chinese associations, the survival of Chinese politicians and party, you can shove your altruist principles you know where.

It's like these two tai kohs are racing to see who can be the tai koh of the race or a more Chinese race based than the others huh?

The message is defend Chinese rights first, their schools, their associations, their bak kut teh, their Tiger beer, their damacai, their wan tan mee before trying to talk about eliminating corruption, nepotism, patronage, fighting for justice for all and the other universal principles.

As long as religion dictates one's race, there will be a battle between the holy of holiest and infidels.

As long as you don't kow tow to your leaders for ensuring you have your Chinese language, schools, way of life and business, all your noble talk of higher principles are align to BolehLand.

For 1Malaysia to mention if Chinese don't vote for UMNO and Barisan, their shares price will fall? Isn't it stereotyping that the Chinese owns the wealth of the nation because they hold shares? Why is the fear-mongering directed at the Chinese? It gives the feeling that a race, Malays and a religion Islam will be threatened by the existence of the Chinese?

MCA is threatening the Chinese that if Pakatan is in power, Islam not hudud will threaten the Chinese. And since Islam is related to a race, does it also imply the Malays in Pakatan a threat?

So is MCA telling us that their UMNO Malays give Chinese better security than the Pakatan Malays. And that the UMNO imposition of Islamic laws better than PAS'? When did MCA become the spokesperson of the Malays and Islam?

When Pakatan questions issues of race, eg anyone can be a Chief or even Prime Minister or the creeping Islamisation on other religions and culture beliefs, they are accused of sedition, heresy by UMNO and BN.

But when MCA questions Islam or rather keeps quiet about the fatwa on celebrating other religion festivities, the UMNO, Malay and even religious bodies seem cowed by the might of MCA.

Odd MCA attacks Islam using the hudud issue when they should be telling us about what it means when his leader said BolehLand is a model moderate Islamic state and to support all those fatwas as well as why Christians in this part of BolehLand cannot call their God Allah, eh?

Seems MCA championing the rights of non Muslims are ok, but when Pakatan and DAP does that, it's sedition.

The debate does not solve anything in moving us away from being identified along racial lines. It just perpetuates the obvious we all know.

Wonder how the Chinese feels seeing one group of Chinese or rather each warlord mustering their troops to out clap each other. The debate is like watching some Hong Kong triad movies of tai kohs trying to prove who is worthy to be the big boss for the Chinese. Makes this blogger sick to the stomach.

Similarly too, if the two Malay leaders square off, the Malays must be so happy, Perkasa perhaps to see their race taking sides and do 'battle' huh? Hey, didn't the Malay leaders chide Malays for not being united or show gratitude to their leaders and for all to be united or else their race, language and religion will be threatened?

So what is 1Malaysia actually is even if the latest UM survey seem to show many understand the 1Malaysia concept when the race identity is being carefully nurtured, guarded and perpetuated? All in the name of the politicians wanting to stay in power!

If these two warlords want all of us to take sides who is the better tai koh, should they not use a language we can understand, like Bahasa Melayu and not Mandarin huh? Are they sending the message to other Chinese who can't understand Mandarin, they are second class Chinese huh?

Rather than ask who won, we should ask who lost? The nation and people are the losers because it is telling all of us that race is here to stay right?

Using The Poor For Fishing Votes

2012-02-18T19:53:00.000+08:00

We are familiar with this 'berdikari' or stand up and be self supporting proverb of teaching a person to fish to feed himself than giving him fish to feed him.

In BolehLand, in recent months, the government is like some messiah, being able to feed the 'poor' and real poor with lots of dough, money that is. Billions of ringgit are being given out, free dough, money that is, such as the BR1M free money, making recipients brimming with smiles. Students were also given free money in the form of book vouchers.

Then more goodies are announced offering cheaper homes with easy loans, super fantastic returns in investments schemes and a whole lot of 'cheap' things coming our way, the poor that is way. Makes one wonder if BolehLand is a nation riddled with so many poor stricken, helpless poor or the government is refining the art of 'handouts' to a wider group eh?

1Malaysia's reasoning is it will help them to cope with the high cost of living for a whole year that is, because it is a one time assistance. Though there is now familiar you 'scratch the BN back and they will scratch yours' to ensure a yearly 'bonus' for keeping them in power. Isn't this some form of corruption?.

This free money handouts is akin to giving the people fish than teaching them to fish. Isn't these freebies an acknowledgement that not enough have been done to ensure the cost of living is reasonable so people can take care of themselves and cope with their earnings?

Won't it be better if you provide a better competitive market and allow these lower income opportunities to go into business that will help to keep the cost of living down. Say giving them land to grow food to reduce the food imports. Than only let the rich landlords in the likes of FELDA, Sime Darby, property owners and timber tycoons, a crony few to have last tracts of land for only a small group of people or race to get rich.

Even in the transport industry, free up the cartel and monopolists. Cab drives at the airport can't even practice free enterprise to benefit consumers.

The amount of free cash is a measurement of the cost of failure of the government in handling the country. Of course some will argue it shows we are super rich and we must thank the government for making so much income to be able to give such billions out just like that! Didn't we hear we would be bankrupt if we don't stop being pampered with subsidies. Now if you are going to make this one time assistance a yearly affair, who's doing a Greece on your behind huh?

The poor is the latest weapon to gain votes. You hand out the fishes to them and tell them to be grateful because you are feeding them and not doing much to let them fish on your own.

The poor is being made like pawns, prawns providing fodder to the politicians to gain votes and remain in power..

It's shameful to use the poor to show your record of success like what is being done by 1Makaysia in Sabah recently. Read story here.The question is why are our oil rich states first of oil poor? Who caused this situation to happen?

While governments in developed democracies are shameful there are poor or those living below poverty line, our government is proud to use them as report card of how good a government they are compared to the opposition! We are happy to see poverty the worse off the better in areas administered by the opposition.

On one hand, 1Malaysia shouts about inclusiveness and the religious institutions on how they protect the umat and condemn anyone who threaten religion, race and privileges. On the other hand, 1Malaysia has no qualms to withhold money taken from oil rich states and deprive them of the money to develop their state and the people?

The use of the poor and worse display them for all to see like some desperate destitutes rushing for free money or given wheelchairs or given hampers is really being insensitive.

For us to hear, Kelantan is so poor because of PAS when you are holding the federal piggy bank is really a shameful and despicable act.from those who claim to be defenders of religion, race and privileges!

Using the poor to fish for votes makes those doing it the sharks.

It's about time the poor and the many of us caught in the lower and income rut tell the powers be to stop giving freebies because if you take from somewhere, some others will be deprived. It's ironical, we are told of billions in the pipeline with the ETP programmes that will push us all into high income earners. Well billions have been spent on so many corridors and super ones too and yet, the large pool of fellows suffering seems to increase. Blame it on good babies producers or illegals being naturalise or the people are getting lazier?

One is inclined to think there is some consipracy to have poor people so that you can jump in and show you are the saviour by launching 1 this and 1 that. But the 1Too Many Projects are they income generators? How does the KRIM shops help the poorer income to get more income. It does not. They still earn RM1000 a month. Their income has not increased. KR1M does not increase their income. So too the whatever 1Mamak cheaper food concept. Isn't it better to increase the income so that the fellow can shop at KRIM as well as afford a better meal too?

These 1schemes are like asking the people to be where you are. Stay at your income level, I will come up with more cheaper schemes so that your RM1,000 can buy more things to survive. So till 2020 this chap is going to be at RM1000 and probably have the option of 1000 1Malaysia cheaper outlets for his or her needs. Where is the high income society.

Ok it seems simplistic. But the message is the poor is going to be kept at their status quo because you need the broken debilitated homes, you need the long queues preferably in the hot sun to collect money handouts, you need laterite roads, broken bridges to ask voters to continue to vote you in because you need another 1000 years to make things better, huh?

Let us hope the poor don't get caught in the net of deceit and worse to feel they owe the gratitude to the 1Fishmonger for throwing them the fries while he gets richer and fatter sharing the good catch with his geng and selling it to outsiders who can pay the price.

So because of BN, Sabah is richer also holds equally valid and true because of BN, Kelantan is so much poorer huh?

WTF - It's Feb 14, 2012

2012-02-14T13:19:00.000+08:00

February 14, 2012.

Hmm,

What's Tuesday's Fuss about?
It's Just

huh?

WTF is just a Fable

2012-02-13T23:58:00.002+08:00

With the insistence that God is going to send His wrath onto His believers who dare Defy His commands, there seem so many WTFs being raised. WTF has become a very very dirty word but seems to be increasingly being used by sinners and God's chosen or self appointed angels and holy man. Who To Figure are God's chosen ones, self appointed or political appointees is anyone's guess.

WTF is not a dirty word as we BolehLand folks think it is. Our kids, youths, grandmas, CEOs, priests, monks, sheikhs, imams, even the Ayatollah, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, atheists, Jewscommunists, perverts, even 1Malaysia and 250 million people are indulging WTF activity each second. Thanks to Zuckerberg all these fellows are indulging in WTF 24/7!, which is Writing To Facebook or Wired to Facebook each second they have right?

We also can't blame us poor folks to equate WTF with derogatory meaning or expletives given that each second old folks, men, religious people, clerics and children are bombarded with expose of sex, sodomy and salacious news of whores, prostitutes (including from Dump Ass Politicians party recently) mistresses and scandals (including those illegally overstaying in a neighbouring country).

Used in the proper context WTF is rich in meaning not necessarily replete with innuendos. Read below and figure out What Tis Fable is all about to Widen Thy Fixated mind.

There was this 1Leader

Who Taught Fact about a policy called 1Malaysia

So Went To Festival where a million too went

Witnessing Thousands Faithful honour Lord Murugan

Worshippers Thousands Filled the square but kept away from air con reserved space

Waited To Face the great leader they heard so much about

Welcome Together First Lady they did

Humongous garland With Thousand Flowers a BolehLand Book of Record made

Waving Together Facing Lord Murgan to the cheer of thousands

Whatever Thoughts Forming in their minds

Soon worshippers hear What Trust Formula the great leader proposes

With Total Faith they believe I help you if you help me

Who To Forgo such enticing offer with millions already promised a cultural centre

So when all ended the two Went to Fortress Putrajaya

And happy knowing they Won The Faithful Hindus vote

So What's This Fuss some religious clerics we now hear

Waving This Fatwa in dismay at even the great leader

Expressing Woes Towards Festivities considered haram FMOM and FLOM did a visit

Making us question What Tolerance Friend this 1Malaysia policy

What This Fuss to divide us as God's chosen and the rest pagans and infidels

Causing many to abuse the noble meaning of WTF

Widening Tension Further than binding us as one

Causing some to misuse WTF to mean Wormy Total Frog mentality

While those of same same gender who have wrongly been branded Worthless Total Faggots are now speaking out Wholeheartedly To Fight such bigotry and intolerant attitude

While Those Feeling branded as infidels and pagans have no qualms

To express opposition With Two Front fingers, though not necessary the politically correct 1Malaysia sign.

So What To Figure out

What This Fact we are told 1Malaysia policy is

When Tis Fatwa destroys it with an edict

So folks now it is proven that WTF is not a dirty word at all

if With Tolerance Forgiving heart we have

Towards those Who Think Fools we are

To show them that We Truly Follow our God with no fear

Even With Those Fanatics bent on labelling us pagans and infidels.

Let us Win True Friendship

And reject those With Two Face intentions

And together With Those Faithful to their God

We Transform Forever our BolehLand we love

By Working Towards Fighting to change

With This Force of conviction we have

We Truly Face a bright new day

So lets us Work Together Folks

To rid our beloved land of those Working To Force us to be divided

Are we Willing To Fight against bigotry, intolerance, arrogance, pride and self righteous human beings?

or give up and question What's Tis Fable all about

or sigh WTF huh?

Blame Who for Valentine's Day Celebration

2012-02-12T22:50:00.002+08:00

While Christians, at least this one, don't give a hoot about the origin of Valentine's Day or believe what those who fear it like some kind of VD disease claim it has Christian elements, are we shooting our arrows unfairly at cupid or other religions.

Why is it when something is so 'haram' that all efforts are made to connect it to Christian elements? Is it some subtle Christian bashing and Christians are being made some scapegoats for weakening Muslims and threaten Islam?

Seriously the holy fellows screaming 'haram' and 'Christian tainted' and trying to associate Christianity to promoting promiscuity are all being inflicted by some insecurity ailment. At least VD, the disease that is, can be cured but these self righteous religious fellows need to spend more time really hearing God's word than using it to condemn or accuse others of trying to influence their believers!

1Malaysia as usual is keeping quiet and letting the religious bodies go on a frenzy and witch hunt. Okay, their threats and witch-hunt do not affect those who are not of their faith so we are assured. But, to go on and on trying to make the rest of us as sinners and devils makes us feel like devils and they behave like an Inquisition or pharisees against those who want to commemorate VD however they choose.

Even if you claim it does not concern others except your own kind, somehow people's rights will be infringed upon,

Ok Muslims can't celebrate. End of story right? No, we want to point a finger at PAS like they are the culprit. But when BN muftis are on the same warpath like our PAS reminding their faithful of dire consequences, even deciding where their soul will go if they disobey, noone seems to think they are equally dead against their own kind celebrating like the PAS fellows.

So before Easter Sunday comes and you find yourself wanting to enjoy Easter chocs shaped like Easter eggs or bunnies, please forewarn early than when the Christians are celebrating the holy week, they are going to be accused of trying to convert again. Ban Easter celebrations by any F&B outlet if you don't want believers to be affected by Easter Sunday feast!

Remember last Easter at a five star restaurant, so many Eater bunnies cookies and hot cross buns and they were being eaten by diners of all faiths! Gosh the five star hotel should be banned, the GM hurled up and stoned for allowing such Christan symbolism to be served with blue cheese, mushroom soup and balsamic vinegar & olive oil huh?

Let us not boast we are a nation of moderates or 1Malaysia microcosm of appreciating and celebrating our diversity. If a Muslim leader can be chided by his own religious fellow for visiting a holy cave and adorned with humongous flower wreaths, we wonder if he is a leader of all the people or just one religion?

Stop the Christian bashing pehlease can or not? By all means go on your witch-hunt, bring out the whip, get the stones ready and punish your own, but don't fault other religious or brand others as pagans or infidels out to damn some soul to hell!

There are many who do not agree to the 'halal' food labels because of the way the animals being slaughtered are not humane. Remember one man's halal food is another person's 'haram' food. So should you scream at those who do not subscribe to the halal way but choose to say their own prayers to de-halal is? Where does all this little irritations and absurdity ends huh? See how idiotic, silly and stupid we behave when religion, rather when one claim to be the truth and others falsehood?

If PAS and the holy clerics and muftis want to do God's will please do so on February 14. Set up road blocks, dress in your religious garments and patrol all F&B joints, question anyone at florists, chocs and gift shops who are they buying the flowers, chocs or gift for. And the pagans and infidels should not complain if they are being questioned too right? After all, since the reasoning is that it is the official religion and noone can question them save being arrested for defiling the Constitution and committing sedition, non Muslims should live with the inconvenience, the questioning and the checking right?

The argument for non Muslims to shut up whatever the holy clerics or PAS are warning their own kind is to simplistic.

Singling out VD is not the start but a continuing trend to halalfy BolehLand of infidel, pagan and haram practices. If we who are now given the freedom to celebrate it, are just going to stand by and keep our mouth shut, they will come a time when we may be asked to stop our 'freedom' to our religious or cultural customs and even diet. All because these are affecting the faith of one religion. So the logic is to disallow, stop and get rid of the 'sins' and 'temptations' no?

Let us hope we do not come to a stage where we need to ask permission from other religions if we can drink beer, eat pork, buy lotteries or even be allowed to pray. Have we forgotten the still unresolved language we can use to call 'God' huh?

So still blame PAS for creating issues about VD?

Here are some interesting no nos on Valentine's Day so you can celebrate it without being harassed.

Do not declare so loudly to your bebe that you are the most beautiful, the most loving, the most adorable, in fact any superlatives of power, omnipotence may lead you to being questioned if you are permitted to use such superlatives unless you are a pagan or infidel.
If you want to hold hands make sure you have your big crucifix and religious relics hanging out of your neck, clearly visible.
Carry a Bible or other Holy Book is not permissible because you may be accused of trying to convert people.
Kissing and hugging is not allowed in public, well in fact not only on Feb 14 and all other days.
Do not assume celebrating in a mamak shop with a mixed group is safe? Make sure you have your NRIC
Do no assume celebrating is any eatery with yourself or a mixed group is safe? You may be asked to show your NRIC.
Be prepared to answer any interrogation if you are seen carrying a bouquet of roses or a box of chocs or teddy bear with heart signs all over or an over-sized VD card?
Do not avoid any checkpoint set up by men in holy garbs least you will be suspected of hiding something.
Don't carry any condoms or KY or baby oil or even any pill that look like contraceptive.
Make sure your mobile, ipad, laptop on you DO NOT HAVE ANY messages of love even if sent to your wife or hubby or children or receiving from them or any heart symbol because authorities are supposed to have the right to check your electronic devices on you.
Better still all take leave and stay at home, don 't go out and eat so noone can blame you for sending innocent holy poor souls to hell.

Think the above are absurd and mischievous? Just last week, a frustrated friend was relating how he was stopped at a checkpoint and unlucky for him still in his gym attire was reminded by those manning the checkpoint not to wear sexy attire when driving or to the gym!

Happy Valentine's Day... and is this haram huh?

Only in BolehLand some choose to see Valentine's symbol this way

" LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind. It is not jealous, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. LOVE does not delight in evil but rejoices in truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE never fails...now these three remain: faith, hope and LOVE. But the greatest of these is LOVE."
( 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13 )

Not Smart Users Not Smartphones to Blame

2012-02-12T15:57:00.001+08:00

The growing concern over the use of mobile devices, not necessary smartphones or tablets but include your PSP and gameboy, is not the fault of the devices but the fault lies with the person using such gizmos.

The same growing concern is the applications that sit on these devices, principally social media apps and Facebook seems to be getting the blame for the ironical situation of creating social misfits (in real life that is) when FB is touted to expand one's social network (in cyberspace that is) and give more self worth or destroy it (in real life as well as cyberspace that is).

It is good to remind users of both hardware and software of the changing phenomena (as these two have a kind of symbiotic relationship) in our relationships with one another and the gizmos/apps too.

While we will not confess that we have become addicted to these 'electronic devices dispensing cyber nicotine', and feel our lives are empty without our toys, our dependence on them is clearly shown when we feel the irritation these devices intrude into our lives, when we don't want them to or feel they should be seen (sans lighted up) and not heard (sans vibrator mode).

It is no more the traffic crawl that contribute to our mood swings and frustrations. When we don't get a connection or none of our 2000 FB friends are even saying a 'Hi' to us, the agony will mount in correlation to the length of time the connection is down or it takes ages to get the page, or friends still haven't said 'Hi' even if it's about 8am in the morning as our eyes are glued on the screen (and sadly not the driver's window screen).

And lunch breaks these days are not much fun as almost have the time is spend glued to enjoying and playing with our gizmo and apps than enjoying the food! Think back, what did you eat for lunch and did you enjoy the food at say Lemon Garden or even remember what was the conversation among friends besides sharing the FB postings or looking at each other's screen.

Today the msmedia reported on the effect to relationships in marriages and even family institution that smartphones and the apps have imposed upon. But should we blame our tools or ourselves? It's ironical companies spend billions on training to empower their employees to excel and what have you and we prove ourselves better when we are able to take charge over ourselves and others - but when it comes to our gizmos we are literally slave to them and our empowerment stops the moment we log into our FB perhaps!

Even this blogger is at times wasting time blogging the woes of BolehLand when there is so much to life out there right? So admittedly yours truly is also 'addicted' to cyberworld. But thank goodness for the love of photography and outdoors, there is still a balance. Though, a friend remarked that I spend just about the same time taking pictures and getting them composed to post in FB! hah! Now that is a revelation and a sure evidence of being hooked like the rest huh? But on a photo shoot or when backpacking, the phone is on silent or off mode and will only be checked after finishing what I need to do. If you want to live the 'ah hah' moment, get rid or off your gizmos, believe me!

But seriously there are a few fighting smartphone or social media addiction including yours truly. If the BB is left at home, I'd not detour to collect it. And during holidays it's OFF with the official one even though it may incur the wrath when work starts, at least it's stress free during your holidays. Or is it the truth? Some feel even if you off it physically, mentally the mind is still switched 'on' wondering what the boss has mms, sms, bb or email you right? So we are really slave and enslaved to it, even if we want to free ourselves it's a challenge.

But we could really do with less time on social media sites. This is where we can exert control of not being so KPC with what your 2000 friends are up too! How many FB friends do I have? 28 at last count after two years of which only 3 are regular conversations and the rest are just not sure why they are there! Of course those who use social media as a business tool are exceptions right?

Even if our gizmos are trying to get our attention, we really need to not lose our self control and learn to use them in moderation. Sounds cliche eh? But the other option is being addicted to it and feel edgy, irritable and becoming dysfunctional beings. That's a conscious choice we need to know and not wait to become addicted.

We are really too kind to our friends not to speak our minds to down and off our gizmos when we meet for a social gathering etc. Even if we are 24/7 hooked to information, have it made us more mature and rational? Not really because we all have our bias source of information right? Are we really better informed of the issue to make a rational choice? We have many sites to champion our cause which brings out the ugly side of all of us when we are driven by emotion to hurl our anger or frustration at an issue or what have you. Which brings to the question, does social media help to incite or defuse?

Friends have labelled my blog as anti establishment and pro opposition. If you wish to advocate for change, you'd be more inclined to be bias right? At this stage the other option is not as evil as the present option. Or is it? Even if both are on an even evil plane, the issue is to expose the 'evils' that the present 'crooks' said they don't have or are not. Presently we are being told there is no 'evil or dark side' in the present group of 'crooks', while the dark side of the other group of 'crooks' seemed to be revealed almost every second! So to expose the lies, we need a change to dig up all the 'evil' right?

Back to the supposedly disintegration of the family and other institutions by smartphones or social media apps. Our world around us must be so so boring that we need to be hooked on our gizmos to give us a 'high' our lifeline for our daily existence huh?

We shudder the day when all you need is to drill a slot into your skull and insert a sim card into it to stay connected! And we are closer than you think. Look around and see how many of us are bluetoothing and have ear plugs on? Parents are texting their kids from the kitchen to ask kids upstairs to come for dinner!

And we have young people complaining they don't have enough money but won't hesitate to change to the latest model or even own two or more phones or chalk up high monthly bills!!! And we blame the government from taxing us or not subsiding enough for us hah!

The odd thing is while we are shocked to learn we have over 33 million mobile subscriptions to our 28 million population, we are still at the mercy of our telcos. The telcos are still charging us a bomb especially business connectivity. We have given the telcos a free hand to charge us for all kinds of nonsense add on fees! Imagine we pay more each month than willing to buy an insurance policy! (except 1Care huh?) Where is the rational peeps?

Whether we become smartphone or social media junkies is our decision. It's not smart users and not smartphones to be blamed if our relationship breaks down. What do you think of a person who text you to 'talak' or 'break off' or even sweet nothings than in person in your face? Are we sure FB is to increase your social skills? Tapping on the keys or swiping to express your thoughts is different from opening your mouth to express your thoughts right?

The racism, molestation, violence, the negative aspect of social media is already a fact. Even radical ways to overcome them puts those who wish to fight against such negativity into potential criminals even if their intention seems noble. Read this story.

When Zuckerberg becomes a billionaire 100 times over when FB goes public, will he spend a couple billions to treat misfits and dysfunctional behaviour as a result of FB? Or will he plead ignorance and innocence of 'Hey you can unlike, unFB or 'defriend' anyone, so don't blame me right? Yeh, tell that to the those who got into trouble even closing their FB or 'defriend' one of their 2000 friends huh?

It is not FB or Google Plus+ now that are being made culprits of disintegrating relationships. A certain tweetie bird is also ruffling up feathers of its members.

And we thought our real world is difficult to cope with, now we have a parallel cyberworld to face too. Tweet on this huh?

At a wedding of a techie couple

Texting to read... I will love you with all my gizmos via my smartphone and social media, in sickness or in good health and will not depart my smartphone or social media account till death do us part.

Kung-fu-ing Frustrated Customers

2012-02-12T14:19:00.000+08:00

The recent fiasco at a KFC fast food restaurant is having its share of controversy in highly politicised BolehLand. Given the power of technology and social media and of course BolehLand folks as among the largest 'addicts' to social media sites such as Facebook, the incident went viral as soon as it was uploaded in cyberspace.

The incident is getting to be unnecessarily politicised with political parties getting involved! Already the people concerned including the management and the customer have responded positively albeit too late and even asked that it is not turned into a racial issue. And rightly so!

Why is Pakatan dipping their hand into this KFC affair? Isn't the police and the management already investigating it. And why are people turning to political parties to resolve every issue turning it into a possible politicised circus? Is it they don't trust the parties charged with investigating the incident to do their job at all or do it fairly? In this case, let the police and management resolve it!

The incident shows the rather surprising slow speed an international franchise took to respond to the situation. It is a crisis management issue and it took them so long in crisis management terms to nip the situation.

Whatever the level of frustration of anyone, for the KFC staff to resort to this violence in Kung-fu-ing Frustrated Customers is unacceptable!!! More so allowing the staff to walk that distance to face the customer? Why didn't the other staff or Manager stopped him on his track! The management has apologised and we should let those involved resolved it. See story here.

The incident has already spawned international notoriety which sadly is how BolehLand seems to get international publicity for the wrong reasons, as if our politicians are not already doing a bad job at maligning our country with issues from Valentine Day to naked squatting huh?

Now we have Perkasa wanting to let the staff involved to share his side of the story. So how many more political parties and people in the restaurant at that time will be giving interviews huh? It's time the management and let's hope they do put a stop to this nonsense of letting outside parties exploit the situation or allow the staff to speak to other parties. After all, the investigation is ongoing.

Maybe the one supplying the chicken will be blamed for not making sure enough chickens were ordered. Or the supervisor at KFC's central depot for not sending in the chicken soon. Or the manager of the outlet for not being good in maths to count the chickens required. Or even the people who were filming the incident will be interviewed and sued for making a public recording in the restaurant when clearly cameras were not allowed. See the absurdity, which is normal in BolehLand, that is going to happen, eh?

A new video has been made, one isn't sure as damage control or to calm the furor or just exacerbate the incident is anyone's guess. Check out the video here.

Nevertheless, the fault lies more on the management because they have failed to address the incident the moment it went into cyberspace! It also speaks a lot about the mentality of our service industry especially the fast food sector. Some still think that by their international franchise name, they can afford to let customers endure long queues, even shriveled sized portion of servings and lack of hygiene at the eatery too.

We always point out our local companies and business lacking in mannerism and customer service. But those with international franchise are also on par if not even worse which is not forgivable because they are supposed to live up to the international brand promise (cliche brand lingo here) of excellent customer service.

Having had very bad share of service experience and quality of food of the sister franchise which serve pizza, we wonder as consumers we are creating a fuzz if we complain to management. And it means seeing the manager. Why can't we speak to the manager? Isn't the manager the best person to hear your grouses than have it misinterpreted by the downliners to protect their own weaknesses and more often will blame customers than tell the 'truth' eh?

In the pizza hut personal experience it took 45 minutes to get your orders and before that you do a self service to get your cutlery. And when the pizza arrived, the dough was not even cooked even pointing out to the staff left a rather disinterested stare. The apology was 'very busy!'. Does very busy give them the licence to serve you low quality food? And the drinks came was the wrong order and when the bill came you get billed for an order you didn't receive! So I just paid and told them the shoddy service and the terrible food didn't make up for the frustration.

A month later thinking the quality of food is what the brochures show and to forgive them, went to order take away and my mistake was not to check the orders. Upon returning home, again the dough was not cooked and into the dustbin the two pizzas went. So that is the end of ever going to the joint. When checked with neighbours in that area, they also have similar experiences. But we consumers are probably suckers thinking that dining in an international franchise is some kind of ego thing!

third party visuals sourced

So shame on KFC and its slow response to the crisis. Is it because our local franchise holder thinks that because they hold an international franchise, they can get away with such type of service, quality of food and also attitude of staff. Why the heck didn't the staff tell the customers in queue the chicken ran or is running out before they ordered? Or is it they are playing to our BolehLand's niceness and timidness that we ordinary folks don't mind being shortchanged and change the menu huh?

In this age and time of social media, businesses must be cognisant of this pervasive channel that will make or break them! In my line of work, had received even pictures sent from customer's iPhone of staff picking their noses and chatting or eating at their workstation, empty chair in front mind you and here the customer was waiting for close to an hour! Check a company's official social media, FB or blog and if you see them becoming conflict resolutions portal, it tells about their service quality and attitude and also the wrong use of social media!

It is about time we take customer service seriously and expect that if the business claim to their brand promise, THEY MUST DELIVER ON THE PROMISE. Advertisements are just a mockery if on the ground level you get kung-fu-ed or served sub quality or below the value of what you pay.

If this incident happened in the original chicken land, the customer would be filthy rich! The incident will be like being landed with the 'golden' egg being paid compensation for being assaulted!

But to customers in BolehLand, we are always the losers. Why? Because few dare to confront diplomatically and civilly perhaps at the eatery itself and prefer to use FB or social media to seek our revenge or express our frustration which may often only give one side of the story and all kinds of parties getting involved when it goes viral.

The rule to make sure your food served to you has no 'foreign' element is to be nice to the waiter, waitress and kitchen crew. Knowing people in the f&b industry, the horror stories of what disgruntled and frustrated employees do to your food or your drink if you are a 'fussy' customer, well better not share, just eat what your ordered and pretend no extra ingredients or other surfaces it landed on before it is got served on the plate or cup, hah!

The fallacy of the 'customer is king and right' does not hold true simply because knowing us humans, we have our dark side and it comes to light if you push your luck too far right? So the next time you go to an eatery, be kind and nice to your waiter and the staff. It will solve so much of problems. There is always a choice. Just avoid fast food as they are also one factor in contributing to obesity and the kind of illness associated with it, and that includes our economy and mamak rice too right?

Greatest Love of All

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

[Chorus]
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

Scratching the Wrong Back

2012-02-11T01:02:00.000+08:00

The legacies that 1Malaysia is leaving behind after his reign is 1TooMany to count, talk about recalling the many 1Projects initiated supposedly by this 1Person. And if it's true these 1Many Projects are indeed the creation of 1Brain, it does speak volumes of the intelligence of the other leaders of the coalition, huh?

Besides the 1Malaysia Policy of People First Performance now, the equally distinct characteristic of the reign of this 1Supreme leader (apology to the Fatwa fellows for glorifying a homo sopien being more supreme than the Supreme Himself), now aka ah jib gor, is the magical or ajaib formula of gaining voters 'to trust me' is the tagline People Your Perform First is You Help Me, I Help You or I Scratch My Back, I Scratch Yours then you will get what I decide you can have, no?

This YHMIHU or vice versa (see story here) or ISYBYSMB, is treating voters like some kind of prostitutes or monkeys who are in such dire situation itching for money that they will do a monkey see, monkey do act to get the peanuts, no?

This YHMIHU and its ISYBYSMB vice versa scratching has spawned similar variations of YTM or You Trust Me and ITU which is not any mischievous sounding Chinese dialect expletives but rather I Trust You pasar malam kind of barter marketing style one encounters in the chee cheong kai of Petaling Street.

For a politician and more so a FMOM, First Man of Malaysia that is, to indulge in this type of horse trading sends the signal of not trusting the voters, desperation, lack of confidence in one's self worth or the voters don't trust your sincerity? Worse still, asking for favours done shows the insincerity of the leader in all that he or she has done or plans to do is genuine in the first place. Everything done has a motive and not done out of genuineness, altruistic or that which elected politicians are supposed to do right?

What do we think of someone who expects a reciprocal degree of gratitude for what he does for you? Asking for such gratitude is not win-win strategy but demonstrate the 'fake-ness' of one's action!

By bargaining with the voters, it is not surprising leaders from this party are
forever chiding their own people for not showing gratitude for all they have done. Does such an attitude reflect the stature of an ah jib gor as the Chinese give reverence to such titling. Not so ah gor trying to gorge gratitude out from voters huh?

So how sincere or valid is the offer said in a venue which the leader's holy men in robes have openly declared sacrificing his faith in being among infidels and pagans that his God or is the religious head forbids? See the context here.

If we believe the leader swear on the Holy Book as proof of his holiness and a more noble and exemplary Muslim over those of the same faith and even higher than pagans and infidels, then his presence in a pagan venue so declared his holy men in robes, the YSMBISY or ITU UTM promise has no worth at all even if it was declared in front of Lord Murugan huh?

God is Great or is it Fate has its own way of turning out surprises. Has this kidnapping kind of 'ransom order' of getting back your life if you scratch my back, has kind of backfired?

This bargaining seems to have been invalidated because the leader's holy council of holy men's decree has deemed the presence as an 'idolatrous act! So it doesn't count whatever you plea or promise because those many thousands are pagans (at least according to the leader's religious leader) whether legal, illegal, migrants or foreign tourists, right? And pagans gift to you should be treated as 'haram' too which means better for pagans to cast their votes to other pagans who would appreciate them more eh?

So one can cry a sigh of relief that the sea of pagan's and infidels (according to the leader's holy council of holy men's decree) will not buy the offer to relief each other's itch simply because you can't make such promises or ask for favours from infidels and pagans, can you?

If we are to subscribe to the truth of the holy council of holy clerics, they are probably telling our 1Leader that he's scratching the wrong back with his 'I scratch your back, you scratch mine or vice versa offer too! The only valid and God approved scratching is probably to scratch the back of your own kind or the religious fellows perhaps?

Is our Pakatan fellows jumping up for joy and sigh a huge relief some one's fingers got whacked before even reaching out to scratch an infidel's back huh? So if the infidels and pagans (according to the holy council of holy clerics) feel left out simply because they choose to worship Lord Murugan, will they then turn their back, not to be scratched but away from the holy fingers and instead prefer to rub shoulders with the other supposedly Jew sympathiser leader eh??

God, Lord Murugan included are very powerful indeed don't we all agree, pagans or however holy or chosen by God you make yourself to be?

When God Goes Off Tangent

2012-02-07T15:07:00.001+08:00

Last week, the Vatican’s top anti-abuse prosecutor has warned that the Catholic Church in Asia is falling behind in the fight against paedophilia due to cultural differences over what constitutes child abuse. “The problem is very accentuated in Asia,” Archbishop Charles Scicluna told reporters ahead of a major international conference this week in the Vatican’s Gregorian University on the crisis of paedophilia in the Church... as reported in many media.

It's rather ironical to hear the Vatican preaching to Asia when in its own backyard, they are using kid's glove to handle the accusations of their own men of God indulging in such acts! Wonder if the Vatican has gone off tangent in pointing their fingers at Asia when they have been resisting calls for harsher penalty or even carry out investigations if the allegations are true! Anyway we leave it to God to judge them and also take in good faith that the Church is sincere is this appeal and doing something to fight against child abuse.

Closer to home, BolehLand folks are ever so familiar with how off tangent man is with God's will. It doesn't take a maths genius or to learn it in Bahasa Melayu or English to add up the many instances of actions by our 'holy' men whose actions have been off tangent with God and even civil society. Of course, our religious people will say God's action is above that of civil society and even if the holy fellows carry out actions deemed barbaric, they are to these holy men, in tangent with God and carry out His will.

The latest we hear is from a political party who has many times been a Party Against Sanity when they begin their ritual lover's bashing on a celebration called Valentine's Day. Wonder if religious opportunists are going to use VD as an indirect Christian bashing again, accusing the Christians of advocating and encouraging pre or extra marital sex!

With Valentine's Day due in a week, PAS has again pledged to put a stop to the celebration.Its leaders, including PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan at-Tantawi, said it must be stopped as it would lead to immoral activities.His deputy Nik Abduh Nik Aziz wants the Government to place anti-Valentine Day's advertisements on television to discourage Muslims from celebrating the event. “Every year we join forces with various Muslim non-governmental organisations to create awareness that celebrating Valentine's Day is against the Islamic syariat... We do not want the celebration to become a trend among Muslims,” he said, adding that ulamas worldwide forbid Muslims from celebrating the day.Islamic officials in Malaysia issued a fatwa in 2005 that the day is associated with “elements of Christianity”...The Star, Feb 7, 2012.

So being seen with a rose or two in hand on Feb 14 can lend you in trouble, huh? Are chocs or cards or even your FB posting a no no too?

Well, either these religious fellows only do it on a holy Thursday night is their choice but to crack the whip to control the horny hormones for a day is as ironic as the Vatican asking Asia to stop child abuses huh?

The best way is to shut down all businesses owned by Muslims starting today and post Feb 14 so that you reduce the chances of lovers buying gifts, sending chocs, flowers, even eating at mamak shops for a single or group VD outing! On second thought, you need to ban all businesses because lovers will buy from businesses opened and not run by Muslims!

If we are going to get religious and paranoid about doing anything with Christian elements, it's not VD that you need to ban right? The first is to get rid of the Gregorian calender so you won't have VD or Christmas and those many Christian celebrations. Places of worship must also be torn down because they are so visible and can weaken those who sees it. In fact, ban the religion would be easier right? No Muslim operation or with Muslim majority business should serve anything related to Christianity including turkey roast, hot cross buns, fruit cakes. That would be the best solution to protect believers from straying or their faith weakened right?

If we are obsessed with attempts to weaken one's faithful, we should not encourage any of your faithful to live in places where there are so many pagan elements around them right? All should stay in the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan and even BolehLand. Indonesia seems an exception for the time being but if the clerics have their way it will join BolehLand too in admonishing anyone seen off tangent with God right?

So to PAS and Pakatan, look at how to reduce the large number of social ills among the Muslims such as out of wedlock birth and all kind of maksiat committed by political leaders who pay the salaries of the religious moral squads too!

Happy Valentine's Day. Love You

Pull the plug out of the telcos so that noone can FB, YM, BB, or mms or chat on their pc or mobile on Feb 14. Broadcast religious programmes till Feb 14 or better still declare Feb 14 a religious holiday holding holy book recital competition, nasyid and religious sermons too...Our religious fellow also employ the services of that email provide to check for any FB postings that is connected with VD and charge anyone sending such messages prior and post Feb 14 eh?

As all public spaces to pose a warning 'This establishment is not responsible if you are caught on Feb 14' or 'This establishment do not serve or conduct any form of business and activity related to the Feb 14 celebration. And anyone who celebrates his or her birthday, anniversary or send roses etc should carry a disclaimer that it is in no way related to Feb 14 celebration. Better still have a halal certification like they are going to do it for leather goods.

Think the suggestions are being paranoid and extreme and rather ridiculous and off tangent with God? Ask youngsters and they will tell you to 'Make Love not create war among each other, right? And who said they are going to do it in the open? There's always home too, yours or the lovers huh? So come Feb 14, do we fear the knock on our door if they check that we are not spreading a bit of VD, Valentine's Day love that is?

Man always think, rather believe they know who God is and what He wants. Each great or lesser religion claim they possess the one true God, as if God needs man to do his PR, not a political party that is, for Him.

So when man dictates, more often to live out one innate trait of human beings which share alike with the animal kingdom, power to control over others to come out the stronger and victorious one so that the losers, timid and meek will bow down to the victorious and victimisation of the powerful over the less powerful. And God has been the convenient ammo and weapon to sanctify or confer unto man his dominion over others, most times even God himself.

Those who do not possess religious knowledge or schooled in a particular religion are often asked to just shut up and listen to those who have been called by God to carry out His commands and what have you,..

So we have religious institutions just like any other institution set up to wield control and power over individual beings. The simple argument is if you want to follow us and undergo that ritual of initiation call it Bat Mitzvah, baptism or sunat, once you are born or reborn into the 'family' you are forever their child of God and those who leave even voluntarily are subjected to, as the institution will say 'God's punishment'.

The Catholic Church of ole used to stone apostates, which thank God these days, this practice has stopped and deemed illegal. However, there are some religions which claim you cannot change an iota of God's law so if one leaves the family so it's 'off with his or her head', or death by stoning and what have you.

So when man is inflicted or rather punished by these religious institutions, these clerics in robes will accuse man or the sinner of being off tangent with God's will. Those humans who refused to be become addicted to or by the extremism and fanaticism of institutionalised religion will accused the religious institutions and their men in robes that their actions suggests God is off tangent with his creation. A God who is seen as an angry God, even tainted with Racism, bigotry, corruption injustice, gender bias, a God out on a witch hunt, a God who has no qualm of whipping, humiliating and beheading those who do not obey His command.

Of course, there will be those who argue that it is man who is off tangent with God. If that is so, why do we feel fear and shiver when we see these religious and moral squads cometh a knocking at our doors, or when we are having a good time with friends in open or enclosed environment? Why do we tremble with fear to speak out?On the other hand, we are disgusted and abhor those ah longs, pimps, drug lords and warlords who abuse, intimidate and enslave man.

It's ironic we shiver with the same level of fear with religious institutions and men of cloth with their rules, rituals and what have you, as well as the so called 'scums' of the earth we label these anti social elements, the ah longs, pimps, robbers etc, where money is their supreme God. We fear those who call themselves God's chosen ones and also the Godless crime lords, not that the latter don't believe and also fear God in their own ways.

The latest is we fear political leaders and their political party, the third God so to speak who uses the God of religion to sanctify their rule and power on one hand, and on the left hand, the religion of money indulging in actions that conmen does, corruption and where money reigns supreme. Such is Bolehland where halal and haram is becoming pervasive.

The Splendor of Thaipusam

No matter what others may try and claim to rights, privileges or supremacy, God is noone's monopoly.

Was at Batu Caves to capture the splendor of Thaipusam, ie. Hinduism. This is our heritage and it is worth preserving. God is truly Great.

A Holy Thaipusam to all Hindus.

1 (one) Too Many To Leave a Legacy?

2012-02-05T15:09:00.001+08:00

In the over hour long interview between PKR Rafizi and BN UMNO Youth KJ,(do listen in full to have a glimpse of who is the visionary and who living in illusion) there was a question from the audience on the many campaign and sloganeering a leader has once he ascends to the most powerful throne in BolehLand, ie the Premiership.

UMNO's KJ said that such campaigns are a leader's legacy or mark he wishes to leave behind once his reign ends. (which he failed to elaborate how the chair is vacated, either voluntarily or kicked out by their own members).

The legitimately elected last Prime Minister, AAB signature or lack of it was Islam Hadhari or according to Wikipedia, "Civilizational Islam" is a theory of government based on the principles of Islam as derived from the Qur'an. It was originally founded by Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1957 (but under a different name and has been promoted by the former Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi)...

To have been ungracefully forced out might be interpreted as the policy/campaign principle deviated from the true path or it was on the true path but made the warlords in the party uncomfortable. Anyway, it was more politics (the dismal GE12 election performance) than religion that got him kicked out ungracefully which is not something alien in UMNO since in 1969, our Bapa Malaysia was also ungracefully kicked out. So much about respecting the elders or preserving the adat and tradition that the race is so fond of reminding others that make them different from the rest of us. But then if you believe in Hang Tuah, you'd also believe how they dispose fellows who are not with them right?

So 1Malaysia seeking to be legitimately elected by the people as the Prime Minister (which is somewhat a 1969 deja vu which may be a coincidence or fate like his dad who also descended to the no 1 throne for not having led and won an election) has his own brand ala campaign to leave a legacy for BolehLand folks to remember once he hands over the premiership (whatever tradition UMNO adopts) to the next fellow.

The legacy the present leader is working so hard to leave behind is synonymous with the digit '1', its prime position at the start was at first, in front led by the master brand mould, 1Malaysia. This 1Malaysia policy or concept is rather tricky to put one's finger on what the definitive meaning or connotation is. It's an oxymoron not to be confused with a moron having an ox brain who can't decide what the label he devised actually or really means.

This 1Malaysia policy seems to be only known to the BN fellos and the GLCs and civil servants, eh? Though opponents to the brand don't really seem to make out what it means.

If it's about celebrating diversity under 1 entity... Ok let's just leave it to the creator to really know what it really means while the rest of us just take it in good faith it is supposed to reflect the reality that we are all experiencing in BolehLand or the dream it should be as what the policy is supposed to mean...

Gosh, wikipedia is probably having a really difficult time putting a finger on what this 1Malaysia policy really means given the contradictions it finds this policy seem to be embroiled in since it was first conceptualised. But the easiest way to know it's a 1Malaysia thingy is when you use the correct digit finger to signify it is or has something to do with 1Malaysia. Any other fingering symbolism is just bastardising it or plain rude right?

But this 1Malaysia concept, policy, philosophy, brand, label, etc is nevertheless very pervasive in BolehLand's landscape at least visually and in the audible sense. Look left, right, up, down, even if you shut your eyes, you can't help to see that iconic '1' and the greeting of 'salam 1malaysia'. And this '1' fingering is like a must in any group photoshoot. So if you show the correct finger sign and ask any BolehLand folks, the legal ones of course, what it means and if the first utterance is not 1Malaysia, then you can be admonished that you for not being a Malaysian first or even grateful to and respect its leaders, yes?

Since the iconic '1' was first introduced on terra cotta as well as cyberspace about three years ago, now three years or so on, the 1 has shifted its position but not its symbolic importance or reminder of whose brand it belongs to right. The brand legacy currently dotting BolehLand landscape and business logo are:

1Malaysia Clinic, 1Malaysia Shop (KR1M), 1Malaysia Public Housing (PR1MA), 1Malaysia Menu (MR1M), 1Malaysia Unit Trust and 1Malaysia Fish Shop (KIR1M), 1Malaysia Book Voucher (BB1M), 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) and the 1Malaysia Investment and Savings Scheme (Sara 1Malaysia).

Don't forget there is 1MCA, 1MIC, 1Gerakan, 1PPP and the rest of the coalition partners with their '1'Party name. Every GLC has also gotten into this 1 game with 1 being placed in front, though one has an advantage of having the privilege to not use it in front but after the letter C? which sends a powerful message that blood is definitely thicker than sky juice right?

The latest 1label is mulling setting up the 1Malaysia Corps – an ambitious effort to group all youth associations and volunteer entities such as Rela, Civil Defence Department and Rakan Muda.

The uninitiated may wonder why there need to have a '1' in front or embedded in any programme or project name, if it is meant for everyone irrespective of colour, belief or whatever. The '1' rather than to narrow the difference gap is an ironic iconic reminder of the distinct differences being preserved and how it compartmentalise us right? The '1' schemes are supposed to melt or disregard such distinction and everyone is given 'fair' and 'just treatment' like the BR1M and BB1M as examples. By having the '1' in the project it is reminding us of the 'divide and rule' that we like to perpetuate and we will meet everyone half way when you walk into or use the services of any programme or project that has a '1' in its name.

We use to in the past, to just walk into any government clinic or hospital and get treatment. Now we need to rebrand it as 1Hospital, 1Clinic and what other 1 have you so that you can get treatment irrespective your colour, belief and what not huh?

When gotong royong was done, we didn't need a '1'whatever so that all come together in the spirit of volunteerism, charity and humanity. Now if there is a '1' missing are we saying it does not reflect who we are or have been?

Don't get this author wrong that the schemes have no merits or benefitial to the intended recipients. Kudos to these schemes which the government of the day is duty bound to do especially when the government claims to be drawing example from the Holy Prophet too, right? The issue is the obsession to live out our animal instinct behaviour of putting one's 'identity' scent and 'shioksendiri' label in these projects. Where's the sincerity, where's the humility?

All this need for the iconic little sons and daughters '1' to be drawn from this mother of all '1Malaysia' icon, rather than trying to strip away our differences and distinction are rather reminders of to use KJ's term in the debate 'silo' mentality and distinction that the government is trying to perpetuate huh?

Why is there a need to use the '1' for a poverty eradication programme as if we ordinary folks use the race lens to help reduce poverty in our own midst?

The strongest argument that the iconic '1' is a divide and rule reminder or rather some have more rights or privileges over others is that it is considered taboo and even seditious to even think of say labelling it '1NEP or 1DEB'? If this policy was to eradicate poverty, shouldn't it be politically correct to call it 1NEM now huh? Try and figure this '1' out then if we are all convinced what 1Malaysia policy is all about what the creator thinks it is?

We are all consumers and we know that brands we pick come and go and the emotive relationship may grow or fade or extinguish, that depending if the brand delivers on its promise. So too all those brand campaigns that our leaders come up with. Remember Tony Blair's 'New Deal' and where it landed him and his party? Closer to home remember the 'Saya Yang Menurut Perintah' or 'Bersih, Cekap, Amanah' campaign and sloganeering?

Just Malaysia can ah?

Today it's 1Malaysia and a host of 1mind boggling spawn of other '1s' that is difficult to create a 1Map if they are all consistent with the 1Mother policy. And the scary thing is if you don't subscribe to the '1' as a civil servant or GLC or even the '1' businesses under its umbrella, you can be accused of being ungrateful and against God, King and Country!

That's why some see the cult of '1' in form than in substance given the contradictions in our political, religious, race, language, customs and even business environment and the leaders handling of issues in each respective environment.

There are many ways to leave one's mark and legacy. In BolehLand, it has now become very cult like and almost everyone wanting to be seen in the good books are parroting it. Blame it on the addiction of needing expensive public relations teams?

Think the paranoid over the '1' thingy a fantasy? Ask those in a group photoshoot if they don't feel like showing the politically correct finger or greet 'Salam Malaysia' than the politically correct one what they will be labelled as?

With so many schemes and projects piggy backing on the main 1Malaysia iconic symbolism, that's about the one legacy we all probably remember, likely 1 too many to leave a permanent legacy, when the '1' is overtaken by another sloganeering campaign by the next leader in waiting no?

Some will say it's not 1Malaysia policy that is the main over arching policy, but the 'People first, performance now' tagline. And our reaction is probably, a cynical 'Huh" you mean there's a same-same gender policy?

If we all seem to know what 1Malaysia policy is all about then these following '1' label must equally be correct too; 1TollUPay Fare; 1FairTax Scheme; 1Fixed House Price;1Merit Scholarship and so on huh?

Easy People's Financing

2012-02-04T16:31:00.001+08:00

The EPF or Employees Provident Fund is supposed to keep hard earned money of millions of contributors for their retirement.

Over the years, the EPF has become, like as a politician said some sort of 'piggy bank' to the government, with them dipping in to fund some pet projects.

While the government dips into the savings of millions, it assures us that the people's money is safe and comes up with all sorts of 'hogwash' assurances whenever they dip into the piggy bank.

The latest is proposing to take out RM1.5 billion to build public housing for those who can't afford. While we should support housing and affordable ones for everyone rather have certain unfair discounts because one belongs to a certain race irrespective the person's financial capability, i.e. filthy rich privileged fellows still want discount for their multi million ringgit real estate- the financing of such risky projects must not be at the expense of the hard earned money of EPF contributors.

1Malaysia, who tries very hard to give people what they want seemingly turning BolehLand into a welfare money dependable society waiting for handouts and free money especially during election times, by or general included, has assured the people that ...“The scheme does not undermine the interests of EPF because the value of the housing units in the market is far higher than the purchase price. If a buyer is unable to or does not repay the loan, the unit can be sold for a higher price. We always safeguard the interests of EPF..."

When members object to using EPF money, the money is still being used. Simply because the EPF is like a civil servant to the government instead of being detached and independent and function as an independent entity.

If the government is so confident the money will not be lost but will earn even more, why is it that the government is so highly geared in debts as well as money being lost, wasted on other seeming also good projects, eg. NFC? Why are the countless schemes they introduced with the assurance money given (for business startup even preferential shares) or loaned to projects we have not heard about with promises of more will be returned in many more folds are making losses instead or earning profit? If the billions spent as they claim will generate billions more income for the government, there should be billions many times over that can be used as a revolving fund so that we are not in a highly debt situation now, right?

The ordinary folks, especially the rural and party members are so easily convinced of such multi level marketing and ponzi schemes. They are always assured of quick wins and win-win deals with this or that grandiose schemes or projects.

Is there really lack of housing or is it that those who can't afford them are seeking for housing at prime area and in the centre of the city? If there seems a lack of housing why are there so many abandoned housing, lower costs housing scheme in the outskirts? How many of the government public housing project have been abandoned or proved not viable or located kms away without proper transport to render them unwanted by the very people they seek to build them for huh?

Pix from internet

Noone is sure of the property hang for lower priced homes especially those away from city and town centres. It is inconvenient to stay far away from the city, which is often their workplace so these people are hoping to get cheap or free housing right at their workplace so to speak.

The fault lies in the lack of political will to implement an efficient transport system like those in developed countries where people want to stay away from their workplace when the transport system is efficient and affordable.

Here, even if the home is 30 km away, the cost of transport in ten years can buy one a condo in downtown seem the believable argument of those seeking affordable low cost housing in the city centre.

It is easier said than done to kick out a defaulter. But if 1Malaysia is so house-sure that to safeguard the interest of the EPF, defaulters get booted out in the cold very very quickly to be replaced by another who can afford it?

When financial institutions try and institute legal case to evict defaulters, the government admonishes them and even labelled banks like some 'ah longs'. When the government kicks out defaulters what do we label them? Upholding the law huh?

Let's take a referendum if the RM1.5 billion will generate returns to us can?

If 1Malaysia is truly convinced the scheme will work and profitable, why not use UMNO's party or BN party members contributions and pump it into the housing scheme? It's a shioksendiri mentality to want to take credit for a 'satu lagi projek UMNO/BN/Third Party,' when you have easy access to Easy People's Financing.

If the scheme is viable, ask the financial institutions to lend then. After all, they too can kick out defaulters fast to get back their loan right?

We will be told that the EPF money is not given free but the members have studied the proposal and found it viable so they are lending the RM1.5 billion easily. But we know the EPF fellows are all government appointees, so their independence is as believable and on the same plain as the civil servants service to the government of the day, in Pakatan state that is.

So what other 1projects will also be so viable, that more hands will dip into the Easy Piggy Financing box to take up a few billions more? After all, we have the government's word it won't undermine the interest of the EPF right? But the government is not paying a sen, it is the EPF now who are using their wisdom to tell members they are going to finance a housing scheme that will give them returns to ensure members get at least a minimum 5% a year return right? Are we saying investing in public housing will earn them very high returns? If this is the case, then banks should focus on lending to public housing than private property huh?

Do members want the EPF to become a landlord and be landed with playing the bad guy to kick off defaulters and whack those who don't repay their loans. And indulge in rather scrupulous unethical behaviour to sell defaulted homes to others for more profit?

Are we contributors who have an interest in EPF made to become unethical bad 'landowners' too to serve the 1Malaysia agenda of 1Leader, 1race based party and 1larger race based coalition party, eh?

The reason the ruling government fears it loses the election is the fear to discover that the grand schemes they thought up of are just to make cronies and the connected few rich under the guise of a 1Malaysia policy pr campaign, noble good, fighting inflation, providing cheap housing, free money, books, saving schemes, safer seas, skies and even world class beef on our table too right?

Stop thinking the people's money is yours to use whenever you feel like it.

Defending Fortress Putrajaya @RM6/hour

2012-02-01T19:50:00.000+08:00

When dictators with support of the military begin to use jingoistic war tone and battle cry language and reference such as 'defend at all cost', 1 million martial art opponents ready to do wallop, maim and kill, call to party members even youths to defend at all cost sacrificing body and limbs, and talks of battle, war, vanquishing enemies of the State before men in the armed forces, even promoting war drills for civilian 'entertainment' - one can conclude there there is real and present danger from enemies out to demolish ancient kingly lineage, threatened the survival of the only true religion or a race where the origin of the human race owes its existence - and the dictators will use all necessary means and use of force to defend itself against the threat right?

And when leaders and politicians where the institutions of the armed forces and security apparatus seem to be aligned like finger and fingernails, the conclusion is similar like the dictators - that the leaders/politicians have at their disposal and whim and fancy we can supposed, to at will use all necessary means and use of force to defend itself against the threat.

The enemies one would guess would be external enemies but then as an ASEAN bloc, there isn't any adventurism or imperialist plans for any members of the bloc... none that we are aware of or ever imagine.

So if the threat is not from the external, one can safely conclude that our leaders must be referring to internal threats, domestic threats to be specific. And these domestic threats have been identified as those opposition members, neutral or non pro government NGOs, in fact, anyone who has a micron measurement of interest to unseat the political power of the ruling party is seen a greater and most dangerous threat and enemies of the state than say the over million illegal migrants in this soil.

Never have we heard such war cry from a leader of our nation to preserve its political survival. We use to hear about leaders trying to prove to their voters the good track records they have achieved. These days it seems, the approach has gone off track and trending towards exposing all the ills and skeletons of your opponent, from sex to family members, the 'jihadist' approach to religion, the enthronement of race supremacy to justify total obedience of a race to its defenders and the demand for gratitude from those not of the supreme race for their economic, social and even religious survival in BolehLand, no?

BolehLand being a land of conspiracy and highly politicised for anything above, on or even under the ground, dead bodies alongside natural resources, radioactive ones included to even sand... every conceivable tricks up the sleeves have been used by those in power to ridicule and destroy any threat from their opponents.

Yet, even if the ruling power try to humiliate the hopefuls, dreamers call them what you like, more specifically the opposition, i.e. Pakatan, the rag tag, misfits, egoistic, racist, megalomaniac with sex perverts being used now and then,- have somehow survived all these direct and subtle attacks and endless onslaughter.

In the ruling party's multi-pronged attack is still leaving the enemies still standing and even gaining sympathisers and fence-sitters falling to that side of the fence, they are using a direct strategy of en-massing an even larger force to scare the opposition and their supporters.

The clever plot, wonder if it's a Jewish or British PR million ringgit retaining fee advice, is to muster a wider stronger force to threaten the other side into a scare that they will become an enslaved, submissive, afraid and coward group who will not dare to speak out for fear of getting whacked by over four million coalition party members, hand chops and silat kicks from the silat proponents, or overrun by youth power and NS trainees, even by religious Pekida brigade holding the holy book in one hand and a weapon in another perhaps.

The latest is to muster the 2.8 million volunteer brigade, the RELA fellos where 1Malaysia has warned, the opposition, Bersih, Pakatan we can safely summise. "When the chips are down, Rela will be with this government to defend the country. Do not cause havoc in this country because the 2.8 million Rela members will not stand idly by and watch the country descend into chaos..." And to make the threat stick, increase our allowance RM2 more to about RM6/hr to defend Putrajaya, good enuf deal RELA huh?

So another new flag is raised in the defence moat of fortress Putrajaya. Together with the over four million party members, one million silat proponents, half a million NS trainees and youths, xx thousands Pekida 'jihad' brigade, 2.8 million RELA, the Scorpion submarines, Sukhoi jets, tanks, acid laced water cannon trucks, FRUs, armed forces, police, special branch, MACC and other law enforcement agencies, BR1M, 1Sara, 1Malaysia Book Scheme, 1Malaysia Klinik and all the other 1Malaysia projects recipients, 1.1 million civil servants, don't forget the over 2 million legalised naturalised and illegal migrant workers-- we wonder if Putrajaya has space to put half the population of BolehLand in Putrajaya to defend against Pakatan and all those not politically correct groups.

Or their tactic is what was effectively and efficiently used by the Hitler youths, uncle Mao and even Uncle Kim of North Korea, the Pol Pots and the warlords in war thorn areas of the Middle East and Horn of Africa, plus the banana African regime --is, to ensure that in any family, group, business, religious to NGO organisations, in fact any fabric of life in BolehLand, that at least one in any gathering of more than one, is the eye and ears of the government, embedded and ready to tell on anyone who is not 'with us, they are considered enemies of the state', no?

Such tactic was very effective during the Vietnam war, when even if your mom is a commie, she will have no qualms to betray her children or husband and vice versa. Like Uncle's Mao's cultural revolution, the wife actually, where their 'agents' were being so brainwashed and the leaders managed to create a frenzy obsessed mentality of its members to eliminate any 'threat' to the survival of the country, ie. the political survival of the leaders, that millions were humiliated, shamed and of course murdered for refusing to be 'one of the geng' and chose to have their freedom of thought and choice.

Those who know their history, really know their history really, will be able to draw parallel to the behaviour of the political leaders on the ruling side and the hopeful side with the lessons from history.

By using warlike and battle cry language is really to remind the people that their freedom of expression is not theirs to have or decide but the one whose finger is pressing on the trigger or can muster millions to 'pull the triggers' on behalf of the leader(s) to ensure that when the chip is down, noone should even dare to think of trying to pick up the chip and eat it because you'd be exterminated and extinguished even before you blink your eye to catch the falling chip, eh?

A leader who boasts of a show of arm and force to win support is really lacking in self confidence in himself and his policies. Reading and hearing the MSMedia and broadcasting channels, each day without fail, they extol the goodness and greatness of 1Malaysia and his geng, this feel good factor is also supposedly synonymous with total love by the citizens for the great leader- isn't this very familiar like what is happening in PRC and up north the Korean peninsula?

So, if we are to believe all the survey points to great positiveness and love for the leader, why the need to raise millions strong 'armies' to defend your love, popularity and greatness huh? Why the need to warn opponents that their, the opponents' limbs and lives are on the line if the status quo is uprooted even with a pencil and paper?

Such tactics does point to us that our leaders still believe they are descenders of the great Hang Tuahs where might is right and you put the fear in your enemies by showing you got a longer more crooked keris and weapon, which may also reflect the mentality of the warrior perhaps in the modern context, no?

We really wonder if our Rela members, or NS trainees or silat proponents or Pekida, will turn their weapons toward their own flesh and blood, because they believe in their great leader and that he is telling the truth telling you who your enemies are huh?

The talk of Arab Spring taking on a Hibiscus or Nasi lemak or satay or any localised name, is just to stir up emotions of impending violence and also the readiness to use the big stick and clobber to injure, guns to fire to kill, silat chops to maim, religious incantations to curse perhaps and what have you. Each side is like telling each other, rather fore warning each other of the dire consequences if ever one tries to step off the line or on their toes, right? It's just an excuse for the government to warrant use of force, and the opposition to warrant use of force too.

Great leaders are those who try and convince their people the benevolent programmes they are undertaking for the common good and protecting everyone's rights and is a fair and just government. Sadly in BolehLand, the success stories are often overshadowed by the use and reminder that at the end of the day, the one who wins and stays in power will be the one who has the weapons and troops and dare to open fire and charge at the opponent, sacrificing bodies and limbs to defend their fortress.

Why are we being reminded of the fear and the pain that befalls us if we are to decide with our own conscience to want to stay the way we are for the past over 50 years or want a change, huh?

After RELA, who is 1Malaysia going to establish alliances so that his millions strong defence force will increase and extinguish any attempts atnd disrupting the status quo? Sisters in Islam perhaps, Obedient Wives Club, the Jedi sounding Jati Third Force? Mat rempits (have they have been roped in by the Oxford and Malacca fellows already?), Ah Longs would be good as these people play God who lives or die if they don't pay up their dues, the Boys Scouts, Girl's Guide, Red Crescent, MCD Kids club, maybe BonusLink members, Amway, Cosway and all those waylaid multi level marketing scheme members, fitness centre clubs, Amanah Saham holders, all accountholders and customers of GLCs which includes kiddie account holders we can suppose, hey even golf members since race is now being an important criteria of status... yup, the possibility of increasing your frontline defence is endless in BolehLand, don't you think?

Bet our Pakatan fellows must be getting depressed because they have not been able to be in alliance with million strong formal gropings and can't even pay hourly allowance. Seems all their demo fellows use their own pocket money to attend as well as bail themselves out of trouble, hah!!!

Final score, 1Malaysia BN, 70% of population of BolehLand plus 2 million legal and illegal migrants strong. Pakatan 30% die hard supporters.

But numbers can be sometimes misleading because if it's true then almost every 1 in 3 in your company of family, friends, coworkers, club members even religious group, is pro 1Malaysia. You have embedded in your circle a 1Malaysia disciple and trooper. So still believe in the promise of the world's best model democracy, nation of moderate, freedom of expression, assembly, worship and what have you eh?

If 1Malaysia and his geng still find the threat to their political power still existing and haven't been snuffed out with the 17 million strong defenders of Putrajaya, he can still depend on their super out of the box secret weapon, Perkasa. Perkasa who will be ready to hand out white envelopes to opponents and let taboo kill off all the recipients and greatly reduce the threat, effect eh?

When Actions Betray The Intention

2012-01-31T00:01:00.002+08:00

The Perkasa fiasco of handing out 'white' ang pows during Chinese New Year to the old folks clearly speak of the real intention of the organisation in claiming it is not racists and fighting for everyone.

The excuse of running out of red ang pows is a lame one. Were they handing out so much money that they ran short of ang pows? Even if one has no red ang pows, sensitivity, if they even bothered to check or respect, would dictate, you don't hand them white envelopes like wanting the ole folks to quickly kick the bucket?

Is this act a sign of growing bigotry, arrogance and the 'ketuanan' attitude where only one race, culture, religion or even sensitivity must be respected over the others?

It's ironical, or does this word even exist with Perkasa, that they are trying so hard to show they are not racists and respect other people's rights, their actions many times betray their intentions.

The old or rather those who understand and respect traditions are lamenting that the younger generation are losing interest in the traditional elements of cultural or religious festivities. Taboos are no longer considered angering the Gods or reducing one's prosperity or luck the coming year.

It is a tradition that the female sex are not allowed to touch the lion's head. These days such taboos are long lost and the lion head has been 'raped' or rather molested by millions of hands and folks who want to pose with a piece of tradition.

There was even a suggestion for the lion dance troupe to do the shuffle or flashmob to keep with times huh? What's next ask the lion dance troupe to do breakdance or one of those Super Junior, KPop or Lady Gaga groove moves?

Remember an occasion when the advice was to place a New Year's Greeting Banner at the main front door. And whether due to the naivety or ignorance or plain stupidity, sure enough this Chinese girl put the banner at a door but it was the washroom's door. When asked how it landed there, the answer was 'You said it should be placed at the door, so I did it!' Perhaps she thought it was good to prevent the gold coloured substance that constituted abundance golden wealth and prosperity from being flushed down the toilet eh?

Let us hope Chinese New Year doesn't become like the Christian's Christmas where the real spirit and meaning have been totally lost with jolly Santa, Santarinas and reindeer! But come to think of it, did hear the CNY greeting to the tune of Jingle Bells! So don't be surprised next year the cherry blossom has snow on it!

Back to our Perkasa, it is really humiliating to trample on such sensitivities. But then again, they are used to conjuring all kinds of insensitivity and do very silly juvenile things. So is this act of further humiliation a part of their litany of ready made insults and humiliation to prove they got the power because they are the 'ketuanan' group?

Well, some will say, it doesn't matter as the thought is what counts and also the value of the gift. Who bothers about the package right? What if the thought is a thoughtless act, perhaps a deliberate one than one out of scarcity of ang pows? If you know it contained say RM1k would you reject it?

By accepting it, the old folks must be so shell shocked to react. Some may thing that it shows how weak we are or the Chinese? that when it comes to money, tradition, principles etc has a price. The old folks is giving the impression that money is more valuable than tradition and for a price, they would likely sell their love ones, no? Or don't mind taking the money, enjoy it before they kick the bucket?

'At least they got the money whatever the colour of the ang pow. After all, our fellow did express the genuine intention in distributing the money right," a friend said this morning.

It's just bad taste, disrespectful and I'd not accept the gift in white envelope. It's humiliating and disgusting. It's a slap to my culture. If such principles don't seem a valid reason to feel annoyed and angry, then the Chinese are to be blamed if their culture continue to be trampled upon and they bear the stigma of 'there is a price on a Chinaman, just show the money, and he'd sell his principles huh?

So to our ang pow giver, it's a shameful act you have done whatever reason you make it's never a valid reason. It's not hypocritical for all of us to feel disgusted, however noble the intention is. Simply because the action betrays the intention. This action serves only to vindicate those who are skeptical of Perkasa of being the protector of BolehLand folks.

Wonder if during Hari Raya, the duit Raya is given in ang pow package by MCA or Pakatan fellows, our Perkasa fellows would unsheathe their Keris Taming Sari, whether real or legendary doesn't matter as long as it draws blood huh?

But life in BolehLand is such that one can read anything into this act. To the optimist it is perhaps a sign of the demise of the party our Perkasa fellows are linked with eh? So it's not to suggest the ole folks will die anytime this year of the Dragon. It may be an omen that this year, an ole party will meet its demise if it called for an early election, being drowned by the water Dragon, eh?

Caught the Devil By the Ball

2012-01-29T14:39:00.002+08:00

Fate, God or Devil must be bored during the Chinese New Year holidays down south at the Australian Open.

The clip below from YouTube that has gone viral and must be Fate, God or the Devil's way of getting attention to draw spectators attention to a higher force watching the Open hah!

Watch and see if your keen power of observation detects someone wants your attention huh?

Saw it?No not the fantastic perfect timing reaction of the ball catcher!

Note the score dude! If you are a believer, it's a perfect timing to draw world's attention to him also watching the Open and reminder to us who is watching who huh? Spine chilling, right?

Ok to the blur fellows. Score is 666 when the boy caught the ball hah!

Sweetening the Subsidy

2012-01-28T14:36:00.000+08:00

The announcement of increase in sugar price and government subsidy of double for this year from about RM200 million to about RM500 million for 2012 is not necessarily helpful in asking BolehLand folks to reduce sugar intake.

Already, we are being told we consume too much sweet things which means sugar content is high. If we go the way as our efforts to promote green technology and also for going 'au naturale' in our food consumption and products we buy, the net effect of reducing sugar intake in all we eat or drink can take effect.

If consumers ask for less sugar or desire less sweet products, manufacturers will heed consumers' demand and this can only be done if we refuse to buy items that remain as sweet as when we were kids drinking that beverage or teh tarik or cakes and local confectioneries and desserts.

Less is more healthy when it comes to sugar intake. One contributing factor to obesity is to lace your food with sugar and you can be sure it will sell faster than if you have those with less sugar. It's ironical even with friends, who spend a fortune on spas and health clubs but down their thirsts and even their sorrows and frustrations at work with a fizzy drink, desserts, cakes or an overpriced sugar laced caffeine concoction!

Will donuts with less sugar or chocolates that are ultra sweet that consuming them is a sure thing to 'death by chocolate' with less sugar sell?

Let's suppose we don't subsidise the increase in sugar price. The manufacturers and your so called teh tarik and mamak or even caffeine cafe will raise their price and blame it on the 'domino effect'. But if you ask for 'kurang manis' will your favourite drink shop reduce the price? No they won't because while they will tell you, you are their loyal customer and your needs come first, they will not reduce the cost of your fav drink sans the sugar or less of it!

Let's say we all decide not to give in to our conditioning and being 'drugged' with sugary stuff from infant to become a sugar addict we are now, to instead of ordering our fav teh tarik or grande latte, decide to just ask for plain water or barley water without sugar. Continue with this order long enough and tell the shop fellow you will continue to prefer your 'beverage' this way until he reduces his price of teh tarik or latte, he'd be wiser to at the end of the day give in to the 'natural law of economic theory of 'demand and supply'! Unless he wants to retaliate by removing the teh tarik or 90% of his caffeine menu from his cafe, he'd probably need to be practical and give in to consumer demand, no?

The reason why we are all slaves to our fav mamak or caffeine cafe or cake confectionery supplier is our lack of will power to go against the 'big players' the monopolists and our weakness to be sucked into the advertisements that entice us to be with the rest of the crowd all sharing the same lifestyle, tastes, brand and what have you! And we are seeking for individuality and complain we are mediocre people hah!

Of course you may think you are the exception ordering just plain water than the fancy fizzy coke or sarsi or sprite huh? But if we think alike and decide we want to be sugarless, it doesn't impinge on you still being the sweet gurl or person right?

There will be those who are not willing to compromise on reducing the sugar level for traditional kuehs or desserts etc. ABC or shaved ice syrup concortion will lose its ABC-ness and take away a gastronomic heritage that is unique to BolehLand? Cendol will lose its flavour, even satay or your pizza will be so bland noone wants to order it? Some may wonder what has satay and pizza got to do with the price of sugar? For those who have travelled enough and eaten a variety of skewed meats and pizzas would agree that BolehLand tastes for its food is rather on the sweet side.

If we complain that less sugar will lose the authenticity of unique BolehLand cuizines, we'd only need to look around our eateries and wonder why so many fellows are flocking to eat fusion food and menu huh? Of course food is always evolving to suite the taste of customers. Does less sweet or use of sugar alter its character? We are giving up on sharks fin soup and okay with artificial fins. Even vegetarians are happy consuming char siew and chicken compatible veggie versions!

As with life, the power, in this case over sugar, is the 'will power' of consumers to consume less sugar or reduce intake will force manufacturers and producers to be inventive and offer choices that they will buy and ensure they continue in their business.

One may argue that it is like taking salt away from the soy sauce. But then the base ingredient is sugar or soy sauce, you can reduce or use substitute.. The French prefer to use ingredients to add flavour to their dish so too the others we can supposed. In BolehLand, we have the Maggie way or the Aji way to sedapkan or spice up our cuizines.

But like sadly Kodak which is on the verge of fading from history because of changing times and their inability to change, the magge and Aji can likewise also meet their declining influence in our cuisine. It only demands our will power and if we really want to save our money and not complain food prices are on the increase because the government is unwilling to subsides a basic commodity.

Sugar is not necessarily a basic commodity to keep us alive. We have all been addicted to it from young and as adults we can't blame our past anymore can we?

But some will argue better for the government to use the money to keep our life 'sweet' than for that savings to be siphoned off into the pockets of the corrupt and greedy! Well one can't argue with that given our perception of the way the government is assuring its people that corruption is non existence. We can take a bet on that, i.e. corruption is non existence in the government or BolehLand on say, giving up on sugar intake. But then, we'd all be inflicted or die of diabetics earlier and quicker too because we know the government will win anyway, i.e. corruption does exist in the government and BolehLand, hah!

So, it's not a big deal telling us you are subsiding sugar to keep food prices low and prevent the domino effect. It's still handling the symptom than a long term plan. Rather than sweetening the subsidy with this announcement which is rather a convenient timing don't you think, isn't it better to implement programmes to increase our food production locally than depend on imports?

Almost all our sugar is imported. If one can recall, there was a rather ambitious project to be self sufficient in sugar when Negeri Sembilan was selected as a state to have huge sugar plantations to rival the Philippines or South America. Sugar is still grown around the Jelebu and K.Pilah area and also in Johor. Somehow there isn't any sweet stories coming out from such efforts as we still import most of our sugar.

If the sugar story from NS hasn't brought about sweet success, we pray the cows have a better prospects hah? No wonder the MP for that area is behaving like a mad 'kera jantan' attacking at anyone for making disparaging remarks of the success of businesses in that part of NS, no? But it would be good to feed the cows with the sugar, at least while Nihoen jin have their Kobe variety, we can have our 'Tebu' variety! Hmm the sweet smell of success don't you think than presently being engulfed in locking horns with opponents on the management of the cows, cowdominum and cowed into a corner by all kinds of alleged improprieties?

Perhaps the government should not subsidise sugar. Let it increase. After all, 1Malaysia in the past two months have been singing praises of sweet success in all his money giving schemes such a BR1M, KR1M, Menu Rakyat 1Malaysia, Kl1M (Klink 1Malaysia), Kar1sma, 1Mabook?(Book voucher for students) and even billion ringgit infrastructure and MRT projects and also said people are now loving 1Malaysia, UMNO and BN even more and they will continue to stay in power.

So don't subsidise and see the reaction of the people if all you tell us is actually the truth of the matter huh?

The thing about fan-atics to political parties and leaders is, whatever your leader or party does (same on the Pakatan side) it's all good and no hidden agenda. Even if you leader is allegedly accused of crimes against the order of nature, be it sex or even extinguishing lives, your leader and party are innocent of all allegations.

So if you really say that people love you, they would support even if you don't subsidise sugar too right, or call the election, say next week? After all, if we believe what our leaders are saying, the huge debt they are running for the country is a small matter as noone is complaining, at least not their fan-atics, what's suffering a bit more from sugar price increasing eh?

It's not only individuals and family are going to be in debt. If the government being in a HUGE debt don't seem to worry and still spending billions more, they are showing us the way of what confidence is all about. So, why are we ordinary folks complaining right? Perhaps it has got to do more than paying more for sugar or eating less of it. It's got to do with ordinary people having to WORK HARD to get money and pay taxes versus a government who WORKS HARD to spend other people's money hah!

Go On Criminalise Traffic Offenders, Why Wait?

2012-01-26T23:53:00.001+08:00

“If jailing offenders can reduce the number of fatalities on the road, then I think we have no choice because the approach of appealing, educating does not work,” so proposed our Home Minister.

Finally some radical action but is there a political will? What's the point of just trying to look good by talking when the government has so many time dared not walk the talk.

The summons offenders were given so may 'ampun' and forgiveness even reducing the quantum of fine that offenders mock the government for extending their amnesty in ad infinitum. Like the registration of illegal migrants.

There doesn't seem any plan B or plan C if plan A doesn't work. Isn't saying you are going to jail them a kind of threat and warning, a final appeal?

Pix copyright from the Net

The main reason warnings don't work is because the government are always flip flopping than flogging offenders. It wil be politicised and become a racist issue perhaps no?

Rather than just making threats, just do it please. Station officers along any major route to the city on a work morning and evening or even very hour in the main cities, you will achieve your KPI in just a day! The Jalan Semantan ram to Jalan Duta is a notorious stretch where many irresponsible irritating motorists 'potong' into traffic with some even taking the bike route!

Indiscriminate parking, driving in the middle lane in the expressway, texting using the phone and other traffic offences are committed daily. Jailing offenders will also help reduce the number of cars or motorbikes on the road.

BolehLand fellows know that if the government dare to walk the talk, they will lose popularity and votes by simply following the law right? They will compare the lack of political will to tackle bigger issues especially their real and perceived belief that the law is victimising the small fish. And the big fishes issue and sharks are left untouched are age ole concerns, in no particular order, corruption, racism, injustice, bigotry, nepotism, patronage and these days even most foul murders depending who is involved are not resolved.

Even if the government is referring to tackling small fries which is easier like road offence, the public still believe in this proverbial statement of 'not seeing the big log in one's eye but can see the tiny speck in another!'

So go on act and criminalise traffic offenders who pay taxes and let corrupt officials continue with their crime and these crooks are the ones not paying taxes even!

Wonder how this threat to criminalise ordinary folks is related to abolishing recent laws and making BolehLand the best democracy and best place you want to be huh?

Let's suppose for once the government does walk the talk and start jailing traffic offenders. They would need to have plan B and plan C ready.

The first is to ensure there are enough prisons else you put these traffic offenders with drug addicts, prostitutes, killers and the occasion corrupt officials!

Then you will need to employ more migrant workers legal or illegal may not matter if you are desperate to fill the vacancies as a result of putting to jail drivers who work in the transport industry, buses, lorries, even trailers, taxi drivers, fast food delivery guys on motorbikes, courier service, those in F&B and almost every service industry that use transport.

Contractors will be short of supply, so too will the newspaper vendor, companies will have to hire new staff when their employees are in jail, CEOs may have to drive on their own as their drivers are in jail, mails and courier service will be on a standstill, so will universities as students are behind bars, secondary schools will have empty seats for those who ride motorcycles. In fact schools may have to close as the bus drivers or parents are in jail for committing traffic offences.

Construction sites will have abandoned projects as their loaders are jailed and those supplying materials are also in lock up.

And please go after those who modify their ride posing a danger to other road drivers!

Heck, the whole economy will be on a standstill. And for once, no race will be blamed!!!

The good thing from enforcing this dare is the streets will be emptier of cars, public transport will make money as more will not drive and take public transport, provided the bus dirvers are not arrested or migrant workers are found to take over from those in jail. There will definitely be NO MAT REMPIT!!!

So Home Minister, go on criminalise traffic offenders and what are you waiting for? Since the government has always said that they are doing right because they are enforcing the law. So if they fail to enforce the law, should we find someone else who would, eh?

We ordinary drivers should not complain anymore if the Home Minister starts really doing what he dare say he will do. Simply because every one who drives or have been on any mode of transport at one time in his/her life wish he/she has an AK47 or bazooka, or nuclear bomb or laser gun or truck or caterpillar or even an M1 Abram tank to swash or exterminate the irresponsible traffic offender, no?

Truly a 1Malaysia thought provoking warning by our Home Minister, putting people safety first and jailing traffic offenders to make our roads safer.

Be warned traffic offenders, your freedom is coming to an end, thanks to 1Malaysia, At the end of finally locking up the last traffic offender, those walking free are likely to be involved in corruption, racism, injustice, bigotry, nepotism, patronage and these days even most foul murders depending who is involved, right?

If for once the government will put fear into the ordinary citizens, they will become obedient and you would never have to be afraid to apply the law and jail anyone who break any law. This way, you can assure you will be the government for a long long time as the ones walking free are likely to be involved... (ditto the para above to finish this sentence) and they are the ones allowed to vote you in eh?

Rice dough figurine is popular during Chinese New Year. In olden times, most of the figurines depicted warriors or mythical person even deities.

These days, seems modern personalities take centre stage in this fine art of dough sculpture. Caught a few of these at two spot in Kuala Lumpur. One at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur and the other at Sungei Wang. Couldn't find local personalities and perhaps not so famous or infamous yet hah! Take a look at some of the dough creation.

When the Numbers Make Sense

2012-01-22T12:39:00.000+08:00

Very often we are skeptical about the numbers that the government churns out about our GDP growth, the reduction in crime rate, the number of racial composition in the civil service and every branch of the government, the supposedly rich people versus the poor, scholarship quota, even how many cows were actually reared and slaughtered by an agency to claim to be the best cattle breeder in the world, the poverty rate, inflation, our debt and even if we are bankrupt or not.

Even how much our military hardware cost or how much rich a certain Forever Love shOpping Madame is to buy siapa bikin beg or spending like some queen down under when its people are told to tighten their belt, or if the assets declared by politicians are really true, or even how many times a boinking against nature constitute a consensual one and which number is considered forced.... all these numbesr games are really just numbers and difficult to verify its authenticity.

The latest DNA dating to claim being the first haji adam and nur eve of the human race is still questionable at least outside BolehLand or UMNO.

We have been also hearing a lot lately of how best BolehLand is for this or that and potential to be this or that! how rich our poor people are compared to yemen, ethopia, even nigeria or timbaktu!

Then we have BR1M and how rich the government is in giving our RM2 billion or so or how cheap Kedai1Malaysia prices are compared to Cold Storage or even Russia we can supposed, huh?

And our government dispute any international ranking about our corruption level, competitiveness, university standards, debts if they do not jive with the government's own shioksendiri figures.

Now when we are told that our neighbour whom we think are third world and miskin Indonesia has more FDI than Bolehland, what is our reasoning or is it excuse.

Indonesia’s foreign direct investment (FDI) hit a record US$19.3 billion (RM59.8 billion) last year, the highest in the region, and is expected to rise another 25 per cent this year despite the gloomy global economy.In contrast, Malaysia only pulled in about US$10 billion (RM31 billion) last year, same as Vietnam, considered among the other top growing economies in Southeast Asia.

Listen to the statement below by our Finance Minister II report in the MSMedia today

On reports of Indonesia receiving RM59.8 billion in foreign direct investment last year compared with Malaysia's RM31 billion, he said foreign investors were attracted to the republic's high economic potential due to its huge population. "Investors were attracted by the population size, that's why Indonesia garnered more investments than us," Ahmad Husni said, adding that Indonesia was "still a developing country dependent on labour, while Malaysia has entered an era of creative technology and innovation."... NST

Isn't it an arrogant statement making disparaging remarks about our neighbour! Our tiny red dot down under Republic has smaller population and having more investment and investors interest!!!

What has population size got to do with FDI huh?

And what does we have entered or does it mean penetrated into an era of creative technology and innovation means? What the heck does it mean we are into creative technology and innovation when we can't even produce our own motor cycle engine or car engine!

One thing for sure our leaders on both side of the divide are creative liars that might be the reason foreign investors can smell the stink, skunk and lies in those sweet talk. While our local fellows are all going goo goo over the creative talk. We are the world's best at churning out innovative scandal and conspiracy! Our scientific explanation of DNA finding its way conveniently to some crevices is astounding, so is the loco, proto I mean Malay origin of man!

Is the Minister saying we can do things ourselves and don't need any foreign fellows to invest or kacau our world's best intellectual property and ideas. The world famous pendrive USB thumbdrive Malaysian investor had to go to Taiwan to have his ideas bear fruit!!!

We are still in denial mode!!!

So BN strategy is to produce more babies to get FDI we can supposed seeing that one race seems to produce more babies than another. So we can call them the FDI babies huh?

Perhaps this kind of illogical logic is believable to the Felda settlers and rural folks. Won't be surprised our leaders will scream racial discrimination at foreigners for not putting their money here but prefer to park it at Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and even Myanmar hah!

When numbers are glaring in our faces and make sense, our leaders are trying to come with their no sense nonsense in finding excuses and coming up with creative and innovative spin... from foreign PR advisers? to worm their way out of the truth.

They are like our opposition fellows. When things go their way they sing praises but when it doesn't they hurl curses!

While we should work even harder to get better results, we make fun of other country! Time we wake up ourselves even if our leaders still think they are in heavenly Putrajaya where everything seems wonderfully okay. In fact, we all have woken up with reality. Just that our leaders try to show we are all going on fine. If we are really in good health and shape, why the need to hand our free money. Everyone should be able to feign for themselves right? After all, the government has assured us we are the 'best in the world' what, right?

1Best Malaysia in a Loose Package

2012-01-22T00:23:00.005+08:00

If one believes every superlatives that come out of 1Malaysia and BolehLand's government, the uninitiated to our condition, real condition and life would think we are living in a blissful paradise of sorts.

We are told we are the best melting potpourri of culture, race, religion and language, even surpassing countries like US of A or even our colonial ole England or down south Australia.

Somehow the local BolehLand fellows are reminded of all the haram stuff in the pot which needs to be thrown out. Those who don't conform to the men in robes' dictates of moral behaviour, socialising style, even culinary choice or entertainment are strained away from the pot or even asked to be thrown away or return to their motherland.

Even advocating to learn an international language called English is considered anti patriotic and ridiculing someone's mother tongue and you'd get a lashing for sidelining a language that serves no purpose for survival or get anywhere after leaving BolehLand's space!

And we are told of the vibrant colours, sights and sounds we are blessed with when even religious chantings, gongs, church bells, tall deity statues are deemed to have violated someone's else Almighty space!

Then we proclaim we have the best of cuisines that even threaten the livelihood of those who wish to serve alcohol or food considered 'haram' or don't bear the green label - which has nothing to do with organic food! Those who wish to cater to international taste are told to compromise on ingredients deemed offensive to certain religion.

From life to even politics, our leaders shout to the world we are a nation of moderates, of right thinking mature people, a religious state that practice moderation. But then things are all black or white and extremism with regard to race, religion, language are being promoted all in the name of survival and ward of imaginary enemies else no licence to operate.

When we even tell Uncle Sam we have the best democracies, we have laws to restrict basic rights that are tenets of democracy, freedom of speech, association, assembly, even choice of religion!

The latest we are the best of the best is when 1Malaysia tell some lower income poor fellows we offer the best place in the world to live in as it provided the“best value for money”. Never mind inflation is on the rise, Never mind we are told we are going to be bankrupt because we are too pampered and has a subsidy mentality. The subsidy mentality which the government try and pin it on everyone than single out the group that receives the most subsidy.

Never mind if by virtue of one's race, you have better value discounts to homes than others, never mind even if you are millionaires. Similarly, never mind if parents are millionaires, there is no guilt to demand for rights and privileges to scholarships or priority of shares or business licence.

We wonder what best package we have over others when we are told the government or rather the dominant UMNO party needs a thousand more years to make it country best value for money. Never mind if currently they are spending like there is no tomorrow and incurring HUGE debt for the future generation and perhaps go bankrupt too!

We likely have the best racist party, best Islamic law hudud enforcers, best moral squad, best anti--corruption agency (that waits until the master says its corruption then act), best most expensive per km monorail, best divide and rule policy, best social engineering ala apartheid policy, best powerpoint and decks for ETP, NKRA, best KPI that is exceeded every month, best most civil servants per population, best family and patronage business network, best cattle rearing all in the family business, best military software, best home produce car that can survive without achieving optimum sales... phew the best at churning up world bestest in almost everything starting with the human race... sheeze who can beat all these eh?

If after over 50 years the brain drain is not symptom of the worst deal the country offers to those who left, someone is living in denial or we are very optimistic people who think the way to replace the brain drain is to produce more babies!

The ones who believe what they hear that 1Malaysia and UMNO/BN have done so much to make us the best place in the world, are probably those who either have not gone out of their shanty neighbourhood or have travelled to only third world terrible package places.

Even the person uttering it with so much of shioksendiri conviction may have thought he was in a banana war torn or even theocratic Islamic state when in New York, London, Paris, Tokyo even Bangkok thinking those places he and the other shopaholic have visited are terrible compared to their Putrajaya kampung backyard!

While former leaders have admitted we have first world infrastructure, we have third world mentality, transport system, housing, education bothering on fourth world, justice at the behest of a powerful race based party and leader, education standard that seem to only find that the origin of the human race is from their own backyard and what have you - this present 1leader has never been short of coming up with superlatives of we are the best of the best for everything his rural audience wants to hear.

Our leaders might think the audience are all backward rural conservative fellows who can't compare if such boasts or claims have an ounce or even a gram of truth.

It's ironical, a leader who claims to be a leader for all, feel happy and vindicated the people are being deprived of funding even though they pay federal taxes, just because they voted or are under opposition rule. And even bargaining with the people like they are beggars unless they vote them, the people are not getting anything. And our leaders think it is moral, just and even Islamic we can supposed too, to withhold amenities, facilities and even tar potholed roads to those under opposition rule or voted them!

We wonder how long the ordinary folks are made to be some stupid fools to believe leaders who proclaim we are simply the best and better than all the rest because they owe it to UMNO or BN???

Given such mentality, we are the best at shioksendiri for some people at least.

Modesty doesn't exist with our leaders bent on holding on to power or grabbing more!

Never have we heard 1Malaysia saying we need to be the best at stopping the rot in corruption, nepotism, patronage, racism, shioksendiri attitude, stopping the sliding standard of English, stopping unfair practices in education,business, share allocation, housing, rights to worship, even right to choose God!

It's all about me, me, me... because of UMNO or BN or 1Malaysia or ETP, we are the best. Well if we are the best, who are we comparing with really?

We wonder if the audience listening to our leaders sloganeering about their achievements stop to think and ask, why the heck are we struggling and slugging out in life, why our children can't compete globally, why even those who are not well off can't get a scholarship, why non Malay lower income group can't get discount for housing, or why if we are the best, there is need to fear anyone who wants to change horses and not stick with the ole one for another 1,000 years huh?

But then politicians will always claim they have been misquoted. I didn't say we are the best, but we have the potential to be the best. So we need to rule for another 1,000 years before we are the best, no?

So if we have the potential, it means you are not good enough even over 50 years and billions and billions being spent. Which means, you need to change the guard and retire the old horse and give another a chance right?

Our leaders can say all kinds of superlatives we are as evidence they are the best to be in charge. But we haven't achieved higher than the down south red dot or the chief migrant legal and illegal source of labour nation which even got more FDI than BolehLand'

We might agree there is truth BolehLand is 'best value for money' for those in power and the corrupt milking the coffers dry and pampering themselves or their cows in cowdominiums! It certainly is the best place were you can be a racist, extremists, bigot, corrupt and even play God, you get away with it. Better still you are protected by the law and the security apparatus? If they try to do such 'best deal' acts in other democracies like US of A where our leaders ridicule at times as the 'Great Gay Satan', they know they won't get away with such nonsense. Our leaders can only brag in their own backyard and do all these nonsense because they made it the 'best place in BolehLand' to behave mischievously and arrogantly.

Rather than believing our superlatives are of the good noble kind, BolehLand folks are a pessimist lot, thanks to how we have been molded the past 50 years, a majority of BolehLand fellows think our superlatives refer to the negative or yang side of the scale, no?

If we still believe 1Malaysia we offer the best package, well, many of us have yet to receive that good deal, best place, world class democracy or world of moderates package right? The horse that is delivering this best package must have got lost or retired due to exhaustion. Perhaps, the rider, the postman has hijacked the best package as they have been doing for the past 50 year leaving us the mess we are experiencing - the melting potpourri is getting rancid than bring out the best we can offer!

If you still haven't got your best package delivered on time and in good hands, will you trust the horse or the rider? Or would you want to change the horse, rider, or even the package, even if it is mid way to its destination, huh? Given that our rider and horse are still unable to rein the cowherd issue that is getting ordinary folks becoming raging bulls over this fiasco, we wonder if our rider has time or qualified to even offer a good package eh?

We Are All One So Can I Have My Privileges

2012-01-21T01:03:00.003+08:00

So finally the Jews are not the ancestors of the human race, nor the Netherlanders nor Leakey's find or even the Mongoloids or African fellows can claim to be the ancestors of the human race.

Nor are we Darwinian theory products from monkeys and apes if we finally have found the truth, the missing link to the ancestors of man.

So the RM1.4 million ringgit question has solved the origin of the human race. And that makes our UMNO, Perkasa, Pendiker, our IA and that non Chinese Tee drinking academician very proud men and race indeed.

Even if we are told that they managed to trace the pure Malay lineage based on their super DNA surpassing CSI analysis to just three generations back which is probably give the max 300 years back it is still an earth shattering find! The race of human race owe their allegiance to the defender of the Malays, which means UMNO right?

So for three generations they were pure then what happened after that to make them unpure? If they were the ancestors how could they have their DNA be corrupted and became tainted culup ABC huh? Did some aliens impregnate them, pun intended? Or did some hairy creatures from the tree descended or was it our two legged fellows ascended the trees and did some acts against the human race to dilute and corrupt the pure DNA huh?

Or did they meet other two legged creatures and did acts that was against nature to get their pure DNA tainted?

Well let's be objective with scientific discovery and let the evidence speak for themselves and let the experts argue if the findings are acceptable or the annoucement was a perfect timing to swing 100% votes to UMNO. Or it may swing the other way because it doesn't matter if you vote a DAP or Pakatan or even a Chinese or Indian, you are still defending the Malay race right? So says this new finding huh?

It is remarkable we Bolehland fellows could trace PURE DNA for three generations and CAN'T identify the 'football' team near the world's most famous derriere of a certain kopi boy whose claim of 'tak nak but nak juga' carnal acts against nature may yet be proven true too?

So if we are all one from the same akar, can Ah Chong, Mutusamy, and the many natives and Babas as well as our legal and illegal migrants from all over the world including Africa also have a right to privileges and rights?

Since the government must be so proud that they have proven the obvious that probably they knew all along the superiority of them over the others, there should not be any quarrel about NEP, rights and privileges because all of us are entitled to SAME SAME whatever the present race claims is theirs. Because we are all one and the same, right?

Or did the junior researcher got the sample mixed up and it was more about pure ancestors of primate huh? A case of mislabeling and turned out to be proto pure primate instead eh?

Have our government and UMNO run out of justification and arguments of their purity since everyone seems to be defined a Malay by mere conversion to Islam, even if the DNA proved they are say Oriental or even Indic origin? Oh stupid us ordinary folks for not accepting this lots of money research to draw this conclusion.

Are they so desperate to be so cocksure of the findings and use it to state their claims to rights or privileges or that they deserve 100% votes huh?

Wonder if another race paid, say RM1.401 million and claim they found that the ancestors were, say from Kerala or Quandong, we would believe that too because more money was paid to find out the 'turth' huh?

So why do we need to spend millions of ringgit and get it scientifically chopped that we are the pure and original root to reignite our spirit that we are this or that race?

Poor and exploited Malays or Chinaman or Indians don't need to spend a sen to know their racial origin or reignite them to be hardworking, honest, proud and self confident right? Hmm by this logic if I have to struggle and work like hell to survive does it meant I am not of the same lineage? I am fine with that hah!

With this new found claim we can correctly postulate that UMNO and BN will pay another RM1.4 billion to defend its truth. Their survivability depends on this factual undisputed and immutable finding.With such certainty, in fact, every claim and even those who may have carbon dated bones to more than 75,001 years are all telling lies and have done lousy unscientific archeological research to support their case.

Any more shioksendiri findings?

Will finding your ancestors are the first spark and start of the human race makes you a superior bigot and behave like Gods huh? Perhaps there is truth to this, looking at how those who claim to be descendants of the pure DNA are behaving these day, like Gods and bigots vice versa, hah! But then, most think those at the top pure DNA chain are behaving like the' missing link' species, which till now perhaps was associated to the species that refer to the flurry type and like bananas, no?

Pakatan close shop eh? and all bow to the ketuanan leaders huh?
....................................

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 20 — Archaeological and genetic research suggests that ancient Proto-Malays who lived in the Sunda Shelf were the ancestors of the human race.
In a video presentation at the conference on the origin of the Malay race here, conference deputy chairwoman Zaharah Sulaiman explained how inhabitants on the Sunda Shelf survived the Toba super-volcanic eruption 75,000 years ago.
She added that the group, having left Africa, was forced to migrate to other parts of the world 25,000 years ago due to global warming, which she said caused floods that divided the Sunda Shelf into islands.
Supporting this theory was University Sains Malaysia scientist Zafarina Zainuddin, whose DNA-based study claims to trace “pure Malay lineage” for at least three generations.
Financed by a RM1.4 million grant from the Higher Education Ministry, Zafarina’s research ostensibly shows that Malays are the oldest community in South-East Asia.
“They can be traced back to 60,000 years,” Zafarina said.
She added that by finding “Malays have genetics which originate from Malay land”, this would reignite the “Malay spirit” so people will be proud to be Malays.
The conference was officially launched by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhiddin Yassin, who expressed hoped the convention will contribute positively to the development of Malays as well as other races and religion in the country....Malaysian Insider

Bomb Threat and Bomb Treat

2012-01-18T00:47:00.002+08:00

So what's so earth shattering if BolehLand is crowned with having the most number of frens on social media network like Facebook. Or, we are social media addicts who find love, security and fortune in cyberspace than probably with real human beings near us , like our parents, friends, colleagues, lover or the other person in a free wi-fi cafe.

Like BAD mobile phone etiquette which Bolehland must hold the world's record, some of us in social media cyberworld are equally horrible in social media etiquette.

The recent case of the moronic remark by an undergraduate student who showed his stupidity and lack of maturity, think everything is a joke and child's play in BolehLand. Perhaps it is seeing how the leaders and politicians are all behaving like clowns and doing a circus act to the rest of the folks and indulging in juvenile games and behaving like spoil brats, the student took his liberty too far by making a serious threat against a leader!

We may have our differences of opinion but to make a serious threat of harm or worse a lethal threat at anyone and turn around and say 'it was a joke' is the height of stupidity. And rightly so, the law book must be thrown at the person for making a joke out of threatening someone's life.

Mentioning it among friends or within hearing range of the public is bad enough. To 'joke' about it on social media is bad taste, unwarranted and shows lack of maturity, very stupid and plain idiotic.

We still think Facebook is like our private world where we can think all we want and what we like in our head, we feel safe.Those with more friends on Facebook and claim they hold the world record is like a fool believing he is a millionaire because he has over million hair on his body surface!

Such callous and careless and irresponsible public behaviour in any space where others can hear, see or feel what you say, do or act need our sympathy. Call it naivety or whatever excuse, it is no excuse to threaten anyone, even animals, with physical or even emotional harm. The adage 'don't do unto those what you don't want others to do unto you' may be a good yardstick for good etiquette just about anywhere, either mobile phone use or misuse as well as that related to social media and in cyberspace.

But what threat threatens about a 'Bomb' treat reported by an online news being said publicly and now going viral in cyberspace?

A former federal minister from Umno claimed today that cash was handed out in previous election campaigns in attempts to buy votes, a tactic known as “bomb”.

What a blast this piece of 'bomb treat' incendiary being hurled at your own people! Wonder who will be victims of this 'friendly fire' bomb treat!

And it seems the fixed deposit states have been likely carpet bomb with cash than any lethal explosives, though in an incident lethal explosives, C4 to be specific was used related to a cash carried too far issue perhaps?

Mind you, the above bomb threat was by a juvenile while this 'bomb' treat was by a veteran, even more controversial is from the ruling party! Nevertheless, one can detect the acrid smell of corruption, right?

So, the cat or rather the horse and in these days and times in BolehLand, the cow has spoken finally! So with such revelation from an ex inner circle that once walked the corridors of power, there must be some truth to the 'treats' being handed out. Such expose may pose a real threat to those implicated if only the Mereka Anti Corruption Crew will take serious note and action of this public revelation.

The public must wait with anxious wonderment, who amongst the implicated will try and defuse this 'bomb' treat damaging revelation? Who would be brave enough to touch this potentially explosive issue and grab the bull by the horns so to speak. Or will those being allegedly accused will instead squeeze the crown jewels of the whistle-blower and take the wind out of him to retract the allegation. Or better still, do a volte-face and claim it was said in jest and just a 'bomb' treat joke huh?

Will this latest release of 'bomb' treat, mooove the bull stories surrounding the cow-troversial cow riding, con-do buying, credit card spending and all in the family lembu affair to the background and pose a greater threat to those involved or are party to it?

Noone is sure why this ex Minister decided to release a stinging bomb on his own party? Is it a sign of realising one's frailty and mortality now that one is heading nearer towards a more powerful entity, called God, than in his heydays when he felt like one of those Gods and use or abused his power towards the ordinary BolehLand folks?

Why the sudden revelation and 'guilt' conscience to come out clean? Or is there a connection with strong friendship bonds with the cowhands? Perhaps our former cabinet minister may feel sympathy for ex fellow inner circle colleague for being left all alone and abandoned to feign for herself or rather for the rest of those in their High Chaparral to ward off the threats of being accused of corruption, nepotism and what not?

Is it some vendetta against those for not being gentlemen and help their own kind? Did the gang failed to abide by the 'you scratch my back I scratched yours' code? What benefit does it serve to drop this 'bombshell' about blatant 'bombing' treats to win the voter's war at this time and venue? Was it to teach whoever he or they are, a lesson of betraying their own kind huh?

If BolehLand folks smell some conspiracy theory and sense the fuse is also wired to the cow-sensational stories that keep surfacing each day, we can't really blame the ordinary folks. After all, each day the public is being bombarded with all kinds of conspiracy theories and everything happening, about to happen or not even happened yet is a potential timebomb that threatened to divide further its people whether race, religion, language, ideology, cultural beliefs or colour, any miniscule issue can spark potential explosive reactions.

So bomb threat or bomb treat, both are lethal whichever way one looks at it, either a joke, intentional, unintentional, intended, real or false, consequences are there in the waiting. If the issue really blows up, it would be interesting when the dust and debris settle who are victims and who are the survivors huh?

Who said we are not living in interesting times in BolehLand eh? We don't need natural disasters to threaten our existence and experience miseries and untold suffering. We have lots of man-made ones to keep us hanging on to surviving and our mortal lives too, hah!

NFC is just one rot of a termite colony

2012-01-15T13:55:00.002+08:00

So there must be truth in the National Feedlot Corporation or now refereed to Nepotism Family Corruption if we are able to read more to what damage control is being taken to contain this scandal.It is putting the Nation into a Fit over alleged Corruption.

When it was exposed by the AG Report and taken up by Pakatan, there was so much denial, defending and assurance of transparency and accountability by the government that everything was done legally, legitimately and for the good of the country.

Even those Ministers involved in the Ministry are still insisting nothing was overboard. Beef production was above the benchmark, the cowdominium was legit and there is no nepotism, conflict of interest or intention to cheat taxpayers money.

Now it seems a solution is being sought. What solution? Repayment of the loan or how it was given out or if there was conflict of interest or the condos were required and good investments.

There is still so much denial for a government who have said so often they have changed, transformed, corruption is on the decrease, everything thing is done legally, they are transparent and accountable. Should not the whole lot be responsible or are they going to let the family out into the pastures and in the cold to take the heat? Will collateral damage be acceptable for one family and Minister for the sake of the greater good of the party and other leaders?

If Pakatan has not pursued the matter, the rot would not be exposed right? NFC is just a drop of the bigger rot - gargantuan rot that has been hidden from the people. The government has not seen anything amiss in setting up the NFC. Power has gone to their head. It has made them arrogant. They are behaving like the people's taxpayers' monies are theirs and that those who work hard and get summoned and fined for paying their income tax late owe these leaders and their family free money to get rich. They seem to be laying claim to the nation's wealth and future that it is their right! Worse, they will argue it is the people who voted them to have a free hand to dip into the cookie jar!

If we know our history, a change of government will reveal all the rot that have been hidden from the people. The Arab spring have resulted in lots of woodworm crawling out from the rot that have been hidden from the people.

We don't have to look that far. When Pakatan took over some states even though ex BN leaders tried to shred sensitive documents, the rot and abuse of power and corruption were exposed.

The fact that all in the family came to the defence of the family involved in NFC is an age old human behaviour of sticking with the herd because if one decides to be whistleblower, the rest of the pack will fall like tenpins! There is too much at stake to be an honest leader these days. And there is a call to just swear over the holy book and start with the corruption and plunder again. There is even a call to forgive lesser corruption! It is like saying it's ok to bribe for minor summons and offences huh?

NFC is just one rot of a termite colony that have been in the making for more than 50 years. It's time we exterminate the pests, throw away the rotten wood and replace them.

The sad thing is that the rural folks have been at the poverty level where they are comfortable or being told that termites are part of their lives and even their homes and they should co exist with them. Just like their shambled dwellings they believe the stories the leaders tell them.

Are we resigned to accept the way corruption is being institutionalised and part of the BN culture of turning BolehLand into? Since the anti corruption institutions don't seem to dig up the queen and termites, is it proof the foundation of our country is not rotten but in perfect condition huh?

Thinking folks are now resigned to the fact that the crooks in government are getting smarter. Rather than steal outright, they are masked under the name, development where billions are to be spent and many times more under the name of rising prices of raw materials and inflation, and more money required under the name of stubborn citizens unwilling to give up their land or refusing to support the billion dollar projects. Projects given based on nepotism and patronage fall under giving to only those qualified or the impeccable argument Article 153 giving them the absolute divine right to dip into the kitty to uplift the race, religion and what not right?

The NFC scandal has evolved a new term in BolehLand. We use the term something getting from bad to worse as 'going to the dogs'. In BolehLand it is being complemented now by 'going to the cows' too!

Form and Substance: Who Will You Vote For?

2012-01-14T14:33:00.001+08:00

Personality and fashion con-sultants will tell you that first impression counts. Style, the external looks, fashion sense will give self confidence. But such self confidence dives when the good looking presentable guy or gurl begins to open the mouth to speak. So external looks is just like the deco and stage setting. Bad acting and performance matters, substance over form.

It is interesting to see how the two political parties present themselves at least the external facade when they have their party assembly or meeting or when meeting the voters.

BolehLand folks are used to the pomp and pageantry of BN AGMs. Primp and proper party uniform, lots of symbolism where mandatory weapons such as keris are being revered greater than the Almighty most times it seems. Then you have those typical 'kerajaan' type of protocol and the flower corsage where great pains are spent on money, time and even the number of petals denote hierarchy. Then there is the sitting protocol down to the size of chair and for first ladies even specified cushions and H2U sky juice are important checklist to adhere to.

Some typical setting of UMNO Assembly from various sources below will show you the discipline, style, uniformity, primp and proper party they are. Lots of money spent on the event agency to make sure the world sees the feeling of 'order, power and great leadership' and mandatory pledges of loyalty and total devotion to the party leaders even greater than the Almighty most times it seems. All these military and stage acts to show to the world what the party wields, no? Would you vote for this party where form, pomp and pageantry, protocol and hierarchy and patronage are advocated, spends millions on foreign PR agencies and above the line advertisements, MSMedia and broadcasting channels to list their manifesto and achievements and most times feudal in nature are important?

Their assured future!

On the other side, we have the hopefuls and some think day dreamers given the supposedly dismal job they are doing in the States they govern, at least that is what the MSMedia and the other party make them out to be.

The meetings by PKR or Pakatan have some semblance of order at least the numbers turn out. But compared to the pomp, pageantry and millions spent by the BN fellows, our Pakatan leaders have to make do with modest setting and even attire.

Though the leaders give due greater respect to the Almighty than to their own leaders and protocol, such allegiance are mocked by the BN party who will label such acts as a hypocritical show of piety.

Below are some pictures of how the Pakatan fellows assembly look like. Compared to the primp and proper protocol pageantry, hands salute, keris weaving and even raising of flags of leaders alongside the national flag, our Pakatan fellows are nightmare to fashion consultants who will probably be jobless if they ever come to power! Of course, voters prefer substance to form and the external facade is secondary to the primary struggle they are advocating. Actually the primary struggle is gain power first, same like the other party, no?

So given the kind of rather sloppy attire, practices open door dialogue and accessibility, always feeling victimised by race, sex or religion, at times directionless leadership, so poor can't even have money to help their taxpaying voters (i.e. tax given to federal government), religious fanatics lurk among them and advocating principles over form, uses YouTube to publicise their manifesto, would you vote for them?

Future assured with them?

The 1World's Best Investment Fund Manager?

2012-01-13T23:23:00.000+08:00

The poor are sure going to buy this latest scheme to make them rich. Most times these poor people are targeted by crooks out to con them with fantastic returns scheme promising 50-100 and even 200% returns for just meager lump sum investment.

So to believe a scheme that promises so much for practically so little is sure going to be a winner at least in terms of election bait.

This is the Skim Amanah Rakyat 1 Malaysia just launched and promises 32% return a year or two and half times return in the whole 5 years tenure. It combines a unit trust investment and loan product.

If you invest RM5k you can choose to get a fixed monthly return of RM134, or else re-invest these proceeds in the scheme, to RM13,000 at the end of five years.

The magic of this product is you can even take a loan, yes half a billion ringgit of loan up for grabs for the lower income earning between RM 500 and RM 3,000. You borrow and you repay RM84 which gives you RM50 spare change. At the end of five years, the families would receive RM10,000 each.

How is it that those highly paid investment fund managers can't think up of such high return but the remarkable 1Malaysia can? Shows he is an economist after all right? With astronomical returns, 1Malaysia makes Warren Buffett really like a juvenile kid investor right?

Noone is sure how they are going to get so high returns. Which bonds or equities are giving such high returns of above 32% so that the government would not lose a sen to pay the promised dividend? Must be the oil palm when they public list that Felda company, that Global company is going to earn billions to pay these poor investors.

With such high returns goes to show our government fund managers are really smart fellows. Can we ask the EPF fellows to learn the secret or trick from the Amanah fun?d managers how they managed to get 32% returns! My three capital guaranteed fund return was valued less than an egg. Only got back the capital and NO RETURN. Selling an egg gives me a higher return than having invested for a cumulative total of nine years yielded zero return!

Now our government fund managers have found the magic equities or bonds to invest in to get such stella return.

It's really unbelievable which puts our Pakatan fellows to real shame! For half a billion ringgit, they are able to generate two and a half times more which is 13 billion ringgit!!! We are certainly out of the fear of bankruptcy right?

But how can these low income chaps get the loan? If you loan RM5k you can earn RM10k means dirt cheap interest rate right? Which means financial institutions can afford to give lower rates so that all of us are able to save a lot which will help us spend our way out of any bankruptcy right?

Seriously, the Scheme is just a charity to the poor as likely you don't need to come up with a sen to borrow RM5k. You need to find at least 21% interest compounded yearly to give that return. Where is the money coming from? Taxpayers money? Or is it some Ponzi scheme?

Which magic investment basket of goodies is yielding above 20% because many millions of investors would also want to invest. Why is 1Malaysia so stingy in not publicly telling us where they are investing to get such returns? It will help all those who are suffering from the unit trusts they are holding on to that is worth less than the price of an egg, for 1lot not per unit trusts mind you! That will help millions out of their misery losing so much of their savings?

Those who lost in the unit trusts offered by fund managers and financial institutions are already in dire straits and considered poor. Cannot 1Malaysia reveal the super investment secret so that the fund managers can help at least to return the initial capital investment of the millions of these unit trust holders?

With the kind of super intelligent and mind boggling fund managers in the 1Sara scheme able to churn out an outstanding unbelievable 32% return, BolehLand fellows have no reason to fear the reaching 50% of debt! We will be able to invest whatever billions is left and get at least 32% return in five years!

The Wharton School of Economics and LSE and the many thousands of MBA offering institutions must surely be descending to Putrajaya to learn about the new investment theory in getting guaranteed super high return!

With such promising guaranteed return, it does make many middle income who are poor wishing they are even poorer too right? Imagine in five years time, they will leapfrog from the poor band to bypass the middle income to the upper and near rich group too right? And good news to 1Malaysia if they are still around, it means more taxes coming in! No more debts everything surplus 32% times more!

We must certainly be proud to live up to our BolehLand tag again, this time as the World's Best Unit Trust or Investment or Fund Manager.

Still doubt 1Malaysia who always reminds us that we are so fortunate to be living in a land of milk and honey and a government that does not take sides, is not corrupt, cares for everyone justly and fairly and able to wipe off the poor label of 100,000 people in five years time? The return is instantaneous, not even five years, the first month already earn them middle income level because they got RM50 extra to spend compared to the middle income group, right?

Bet after the launch of this Scheme, Putrajaya must be having calls from Greece, followed by Iceland, Germany, Italy, France, even Uncle Sam and don't forget the banana republics of Africa on 32% returns investment 101 lessons right?

901 Finally Over?

2012-01-10T00:47:00.001+08:00

So the legal verdict has been passed. Whether the court of public opinion agrees with the legal verdict depends on which side of the political camp and inclination one is right?

Does this one decision supposedly in favour of Pakatan, since their defacto leader was acquitted of the charge is indicative that the judicary is neutral at least in the eyes of public opinion?

The celebration and jubilation in the Pakatan camp must be an all day and night affair now that their leader has been vindicated.

The joy may be short lived because the accuser is going or is he thinking of filing an appeal to reach the highest court. Which means more continuing playing of the ole record of explicit accounts of back door play most foul? Which is going to cost more money for the trials and zap the energy of the Pakatan camp as well as divert the whole nation to another round of joke and comical drama huh?

Of course Saiful is no fool to give up a good fight and if the prosecutor is supposed to be defender of the law and to uphold fairness and justice, would they not recommend an appeal so that the due process of the law has been legally exhausted? Haven't appeal turned over lower courts decision? And haven't Pakatan experienced lots of such reverse decision against them?

So is 901 finally over so the nation can go on to more important things and the MSMedia will have to find more sordid stories and scandals, involving Pakatan fellows mostly to up their sales?

Even if Saiful is advised against it, there is still the sex tape by our Datuk-namic Trio right? But this case is rather odd. It's a case of consensual sex between two adults and more of a private affair. Noone is for sure why the players prefer the kinky stuff of recording their act or was it done secretly which would be a criminal case against the video producers right?

Why if it is true that this sex episode needs so much of national expose and attention and even the arm of the law seem to be interested in while another self confessed act no police action was taken for this adulterous act?

Does the law work depending of which political camp you fall into with regard to boinking outside marriage, which is nobody's business anyway. Yes, it may involve those in high position and leaders but why is the one allegedly involving this leader made into such a fuss compared to other similar adulterous incidents in the past?

It smacks on a political agenda and conspiracy to do the leader in on any pretext really. If he is found kissing a toad or even a kitten or dog, he'd be accused of bestiality too and if it involved the dog the crime of religious sacrilege will be thrown in for good measure right?

This is BolehLand where if the power be if they are involved or those with vested interest in this group will not hesitate to be opportunists and use any incident to bring about the political downfall of this charismatic leader, no?

So back to the drawing board for those conspirators huh? Bring on the sex video next, or accuse him of committing zina, a hudud punishable sex act and drag him to the syariah court that will surely guarantee public flogging huh?

Will this year of the dragon bring about dirty ways to ensure our defacto leader's political ambition burns up in smoke by taking him to court for the flimsiest and most times unbelievable acts.

Probably the plastic dildo insertion was unbelievable. Wonder what chance does the missing Omega has? Only time will tell if this is the alpha of the omega, the beginning of the end of his ambitions if the AG decides to use the sex tape and bring the nation to another round of circus act huh? Wonder in whose favour the watch, clock that is ticking, eh?

Politics Before Welfare of NS Trainees?

2012-01-08T14:56:00.000+08:00

The decision not to renew the contract of Yayasan Selangor's Ampang Pecah NS camp after spending RM4.04 million to renovate is rather baffling.

While there have been reports of appalling conditions of some of the camps by NS trainees themselves, one has been renovated to upgrade its facilities but its contract is not renewed.

No reason is given. Is it that the renovation has not met the high standard and demands of the NS authorities? But what is the benchmark to use a facility? Nothing is given except the authorities are not obliged to renew any camp site.

It is a fact the camp site happens to be under the administration of the Pakatan government. Is this the reason why it was not renewed because the authorities want to teach the Pakatan fellows a lesson and deprive them of income to repay for the renovation?

Until a valid reason is given, the decision not to use the campsite will be seen as a political decision than one that puts NS trainees welfare first.

Which tells of the state of this supposedly BolehLand aspiring to be a developed nation, but the mentality of the authorities and government will still be feudal in nature. We don't want to see good things done for the welfare of the people. Each government is out to punish one another for their own selfish reason. It boils down to money and the power and control of the flow and direction of money.

In this case, no money to Yayasan Selangor means no money for Pakatan Government to balance the accounts. So let it go into the red and then come out and champion to rescue it!

In the first place, why allow things to rot and standby and watch it rot and when it has sufficiently gone to the dogs, announce some salvation plan to rescue it and then claim glory?

Noone knows the account for the NS programme. Who gets the bulk of supply the uniform, who decides on the camp site and who manageress the campsites, whether they have powerful political links or not.

Why are they persecuting Yayasan Selangor and victimise the NS trainees in the process, just to tighten the stranglehold on the opposition government. The message the government is sending is that it subscribes to the 'i scratch your back you scratch mine' way of taking care of the citizens. Those who did not vote for them are being victimised and punished if they do not pay taxes or obey laws of the federal government.

Let us hope the citizens will show their displeasure at such juvenile mentality to victimise those who were told of their right to exercise their choice to choose who they want but when they have made their decision they are punished for it.

Well at least Yayasan Selangor is taking it in stride and look for ways to recoup the expenses. We wonder why they upgraded the facilities for the NS purpose if they are told before hand the venue won't be used again!

Rather than just give a reason it is not selected and the perogative is on the government, in the name of transparency and accountability, the authorities must reveal why the site was not selected. This way one can use the information as a benchmark to check if other camps with lesser facilities have been selected.

Why are the reasons not revealed? If you let the public know, then those who wish to participate will know what they are in for right?

This the 'government is not obliged' has been used too many times. The federal government is not obliged to give federal funding to State government under opposition rule, it is not obliged to lower the toll because it needs to be oblige to the operators based on contracts drawn by the government, it is not obliged to be fair and just in awarding contracts, scholarships, jobs, etc because it has to uphold the constitution and Article 153 which it has created itself, it is not obliged to renew the camp sites and not obliged to give any valid reason.

Given this rather flimsy no reason why the camp is not selected, one can assume that the sincerity to safeguard the welfare of the NS trainees has taken a backstage over politics, no?

In a nutshell, in the quest for power and power struggle, the welfare of the people have always been set aside. Makes the 1Malaysia concept more myPeople first, even if they can't performance. huh?

Blame Google for the Giggles Pokai Ingrish?

2012-01-07T15:19:00.002+08:00

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) doesn't seem to have a good defence against some of the things going their way the past few months.

The Scorpene subs that became a canine joke:

Q What is the similarity between a Scorpene Sub and a chihuahua?

A You can both issue voice command to say 'roll, jump, dive'

Q What is the difference between a Scorpene Sub and a chihuahua?

A The chihuahua will obey your voice command and cheaper to maintain.

The Socrpene well.. And even with the Scorpene you need to push buttons and turn dials it does not guarantee it obey your command and its astronomically expensive to maintain

Lately Pakatan fellos are trying to poke holes at their billion ringgit acquisition of naval vessels. One wonders if their top brass are spending so much time trying to provide satisfactory answers, do they have time to protect the security of our borders!

Perhaps it would be much easier to consider raising such matters as 'highly sensitive security matters like OSA information that is detrimental and threatens the security of the royalty, state and security of a race and religion.' Classifying all MOD's matters this way will stop all these meddling and let our defence bois jaga our borders like prevent illegal migrants from entering or leaving at their own will and so on, right?

The latest is the English translation in their website on 'ethical clothing'. And isn't this a proof and confirmation by our great leader 1Malaysia and past leaders that BolehLand is an Islamic state where ethical issues down to clothing is imposed too! And we are accusing PAS of wanting to create a hudud and Islamic nation, hah!

We have heard before of how our educated officials from the education system who incidentally have relegated English into a status like learning a second language like Mandarin and Tamil, - used computer ie Google translation from mandarin to English and not surprising from Bahasa Melayu to English.

We didn't know we employ Nihoen-jin in the civil service huh? But apology to our Japanese, at least they are way ahead BolehLand fellows using their mother tongue right?

Blame it on 'lost in translation' or Google for giving us the giggles huh?

But can we fault our MOD fellows really? If you are patriotic and loyal to your cause, you will, like a football advertisement by a world brand once advocated 'eat, sleep play football and drink..., whatever the cause right?

So, MOD being about guns, rockets, tanks, fighter aircraft and killer subs may have moulded our men and women into aggressive machines. The mentality and language are all about aggressiveness, - shoot your enemy, show them you are man, fight, shoot, kill, slash, poke at body parts to maime or kill, aim at the throat, eyes and so on. So that may explain the 'poke eye' reaction towards anything that don't conform to military standard eh?

So, it's forgivable if they mentioned no attire that 'poke eye' ethical dress code. At least they didn't translated as 'red eyes' or 'eroticism to the eyes and other body parts' or 'dreamy eye' or 'horny on the cob' or 'steam the visual organ' or 'attire that steam the organs visibly' right?

Can we blame our defence fellos for such pokai ingrish? We should really blame the education system that have relegated and even mock at the English Language as a foreign form of colonization and capitalism threatening the survival of a language ie. race Those who claim English as their mother tongue are frowned upon and their loyalty seemed to have been questions.

But the real truth is the fear that if you have a mastery of English, the traditional political power base of the ruling elites who sort to create a feudal state will collapse. There is real fear that knowing English means opening the minds of their political power base! Seriously, how many Bahasa Melayu news talk about those issues and topic in English publications? Let's suppose if al Jazeera or CNN or BBC or IHT or NYT wants to produce a free Bahasa Malaysia edition and distribute it to BolehLand rural and urban folks, will they be allowed? The translation of the Bible into Bahasa Melayu is enough to rest the case on such suspicion above, no?

But these days, we promote communication ingelish. As long as it sounds englandable, it need not be powderful taip of ingeris right?

Blame it on the sms generation which if one watches the local chat channel, you need a special sms street Generation Y dictionary to understand even what is being typed in Bahasa Melayu. What not of English huh?

It isn't any surprising anymore that there will be terror merror BolehLand England on both government or corporate websites. After all, we have tried so hard to get rid of our colonial past which includes removing English language as even a national language or one that is important for us to have that competitive age!

We are happy living in our own kampong setting and environment. The government has no fear listing Felda Global Ventures because its leader is saying it will enable it to conquer the global oil palm market! Not sure how going public listed will help those Felda settlers feel they are part of the global oil palm market! Similarly too 90% of those Mesdaq listed companies also claim going public will help them penetrate the global market, using the tone same like computer penetration, huh? Wonder how much of penetration these Mesdaq companies have made with regards to hardware and software, pun not intended though!

While it is not fair to fault the translator, no not Google though, one should fault the government and those in MOD for such attitude. We do wonder if we should fear if the sensitive military hardware we acquire are all in perfect Bahasa Melayu labels, manuals and instructions so that our bois know how to use them. And if not, a really super fast good machine translation software to convert French to Bahasa Melayu so that they will not engage in friendly fire or translate 'fire' as in 'fire the missile' not as 'peu' as 'api-kan peluru perpandu?' huh?

Given the language competency of our MOD bois in Bahasa Melayu, the 'kan felot or not, Scorpene' may not be due to any hardware or software issue but a 'lost in translation' of pressing the wrong button or issuing the wrong instruction because of the translation huh? But we are happy all is fine as supported by our junior CAT leader junior Lim who was fortunate to experience a ride of his life on it! Kudos to our defence fellos!

Probably the other uniformed and civil servants frontliners in MOD don't give much attention compared to those in the 'firing line' so to speak. After all, their loose cannon translations on the website speak for themselves of their attitude. They do a disservice to the rest of their comrades or are all of them in the same boat?

While it would be arrogant of this blogger to think oneself highly just because his mother tongue is English, I'd be ridiculed by the MOD bois if they challenged me to translate even the 'pokai poke eye' standard england into the halus (refined) form of Bahasa Melayu right?

So to be fair to our MOD translators, we should resist making disparaging remarks or belittle them, since they tried, because it may backfire. We can be accused of targeting a race and language and even religion and God gets thrown in. For mocking our heroes and race, royalty, language and God, we will be branded as second class citizens and the every ready demand these days of booting you out of this Tanah Melayu for mocking the pure sons of the soil, right?

So to find a place in this Tanah Melayu, we need to be humble sikit and we must all take the blame too right? After all, as a country we should be proud of how our leaders and especially the Ministry of Education are preparing us to be the best democracy in the world and also compete globally and even more successful by learning English in Maths and Science will at least for the lucky ones and also don't forget we need to public list ourselves too!

In BolehLand these days, the goverment fellows are not worried about the grammar or context of how they write in English. As long as the England is curry or kurma powderful or as long as we can communicate communication English and at least verbally it sounds like, is like and is England sounding (not necessarily QE's standard or those pseudo mat salleh Kim Kardashian stuffy nasal slang of the Melayu or Cina or India baru generation), the translation or even the spelling for that matter is secondary right? Like this written message below which can get one into a civil service job, yes even into the MOD.

Defence ministeri pokai eye england is simptom off degardin standerd of inglish. tis kampung mental-liti is OK as long v can paham what v wan2say, u noe rite? so brader uols pilis, relaks sikit, dun actkus my ingris tak d powderful lah, kan or not. WTF my england not kurma powderful Bahasa Malaysia is more penting it give me hak hak istimewa. So no neat baca ingeris oki, paham?

Come 901 What May

2012-01-07T14:08:00.000+08:00

For a leader who predicted 308 as the day of change, 907 as the day of a big clean up and now 901 as his day of reckoning, anyone wishing to get lucky doing a permutation of these numbers for the lottery draws would most likely not win in the draws.

It may mean such that fate is not kind to the punter as well as the leader to get a lucky strike and win the dream prize. The punter may well have more luck doing a lucky pick, as proven many times to have won the big prize. While the leader may never have a lucky number to fulfill his dream.

So 901 is being hyped up will all the number claims again, the crowd that is, 100,000 it seems, so many ponteng or skip work or take leave to support their leader against what is considered a criminal act more disgusting and sinful than corruption or abuse of power or even wasting billions of ringgit of taxpayers money for overpriced projects.

We laugh at those banana republics show of their millions of youth, young and ole, those in uniform or paid to wear parade attire all waving flags and chanting slogans to their great leader and vow of giving up life and limbs to defend their leaders and the palaces. We think these supporters are brainwashed, brainless and blind to owe so much of their time, energy or life for one man.

But what of BolehLand where such similar scenes of leaders screaming and screeching in the podium at party AGMs, youth gatherings, festive gatherings and even before media cameras of waging wars against enemies, of asking those thousands and millions before them emotionally charged willing to do a silat lincah and lives and limbs or even in a restricted car part to protect their beloved leaders. Are these supporters just as brainwashed, brainless and blind like the fellows in the banana republics?

Of course, supporters will argue it's not about the man, but rather the principles behind it, no pun here? Like, justice, fight against creeping or rather total subjugation and control of the different arms of democracy by only the executive hand? It's fighting injustice, corruption, and all the woes and ills of the nation.

But then, why fight such causes using a personal, that is the BN side of the argument,private case brought out by a poor private ex-kopi boi employee huh? Is the message these supporters sending is they have only one capable leader who can lead? Or are they trying to fight against a corrupt and politically motivated conspiracy to do their leader in to collapse their change of winning?

It is not the case that the case was concluded like a month ago? It was a long drawn affair and it is only now that Plan B is being surfaced for supporters and those hopefuls and fence sitters.

But isn't it too late? Even Plan B sounds as unworkable as the Pakatan coalition these days where the cracks are widening or perhaps the MSMedia and BN PR campaign are all focusing on creating mountains out of molehills. Just like how the BN and their third, fourth and fifth arms, the racist right groups, the enforcement officers, religious authorities are all making mountains out of the minor differences that the Pakatan leaderships are experiencing.

If one can sift through all these suddenly barrage of expose of the collapse of the Pakatan group, one will find that it is a well executed discredit and smear campaign at every conceivable 'weakness' of the Pakatan fellows. It is likely that the BN strategy is to ask each of their component party to launch specific attack on the Pakatan leaders, with the MSMedia the propaganda machine to mince the Pakatan leadership 'kau kau'.

So UMNO will take on the PKR, MCA the DAP, MIC at all the Indian members of Pakatan. The UMNO take on PKR is a about leadership credibility, the holy and the sodomite, the dare to swear over the Holy Book vs the coward, the leader of all under 1Malaysia concept vs an opportunists, the moral vs the sex pevert!

Then we have the religious council to take on PAS because it will not put UMNO in a bad light of Malay versus Malays but rather those deemed themselves the true Muslims and Islamic scholars against those 'false prophets i.e. PAS', the racist parties, Perkasa as pure Malays vs PKR Malays being branded as betraying their own race. The use of social media and timing to publise prominent bloggers to maximise damage against the opposition.

You let all these multi prong attack on Pakatan to be done simultaneously so that the people, especially the rural folks and party members to believe that their great leader and his party is the only one who can deliver the nation from 'real and present' danger because the opposition are made to look like even more a rag tag team and worse indulging in the C word, CORRUPTION to enrich themselves.

The rising news of corruption in the Pakatan camp is telling the people, especially the rural folks 'Hey we are not the corrupt ones, they are also just as if not more corrupt than us! Hah!

If there is truth in these corruption by Pakatan fellows, who should voters vote? One that has honed and institutionalised corruption or another learning and doing the dirty game like the other side? And if corruption is rampant in Pakatan controlled States, are not those 901 supporters a bunch of hypocrites?

Come what may in 901, life in BolehLand will run its messy course where race, religion, language, patronage, nepotism, corruption, injustice, religious intolerance will slide us on a degrading course. The fear is when BN obtains its two thirds majority it's likely to be PAYBACK TIME to tax the people to pay for the messy debts, tighten authority and grip by the police force on civil and religious liberties.

Still think such pessimistic scenario above is unlikely. It means we have not seeped in the subtle messages of 1Malaysia and their leaders' speeches. They need the two thirds to get their ETPs going, to right things, ie stop the many voices to call for justice, fairness- sans rights and privileges.

One odd police condition they have banned the use of “Free Anwar 901” tagline. And we still believe in the Peaceful Assembly Act and freedom huh? Isn't that why 901 is held too? Imagine you organise an assembly against maid abuse and you can't use the banner 'Stop Abusing Maids!' The conclusion we can draw for banning this 'Free Anwar 901' tagline is the same in the still ban on the 'Bersih' tagline and paraphenelia.

So that may be a valid reason for the 901 rally to be allowed, no?

Be warned, massive road blocks even for a legal assembly? Why roadblocks if you allow an assembly, we wonder huh?

The 'my-wan' End of Pakatan Prediction

2012-01-02T15:07:00.000+08:00

2012 is upon us and depending on how life is treating you this year, some will hope that the Mayan Prophecy of the end of the world on Dec 21, 2012 will be fulfilled.

Yet many of us optimists are pessimistic about anyone doing a Nostradamus on us since the prophets last left terra ages ago.

In BolehLand, even before one has finished his wish list and resolutions for the New Year, particularly the politicians, one influential blogger better know as RPK, his interview was timed perfectly on New Year's day for his 'my-wan' prediction of the end of Pakatan and the rise of UMNO and Barisan.

If politicians and political party are just writing their wish list for the new year, they are seriously not serious about their political ambitions. You should have been working on day one after GE12 to set your political agenda so that it is BAU on GE13.

These days, it's anything BAU or business as usual for the political parties. Their actions have brought quite a lot of stink on the political landscape and the ones getting stung by the stench of their gutter politics are the common folks.

But what a blast to Pakatan from their supposedly 'deposit' blogger who has not minced his royal words and comments on Pakatan as well as BN too.

The stinger in the interview publication is supposedly the falling out with Pakatan and its leader specifically the PKR party.

To those who saw RPK as a God sent angel to rid BolehLand from afar from all the ills and woes, he has exposed and predicted, the Sunday with RPK revelations must be the most dishonourable act of betrayal to the ABU cause.

Each MSMedia reporting the interview angled it according to their agenda to yield maximum damage to the Pakatan cause and those who are wishing for a change.

The publication of the interview is a surprise and shocker to the opposition camp. But then, isn't RPK one who relishes in shock and awe in his writings in his blog Malaysia Today.

He didn't indicate he would publish or expose the Statutory Declaration and all those supposedly Sulit, Secret Documents in the past. So why should he do so in this latest expose of his?

Some think the interview is an all out attack on Pakatan to set the stage for their fall and like his prediction of the leader, fade into oblivion after GE13.

So he have angered many who saw him as hero and saviour from afar, brandishing his pen and writings against UMNO and BN to support the Opposition.

And he has certainly 'failed' his legions of followers who believed him some Gandalf, the Lord of Sting who fears noone in ruffling feathers or disturbing the hornet's nests!

What a start for the new year to be in an angry and emotional state. Bad fung sui and chi to start New Year with negativism that leads to pessimism among many who think RPK as the catalyst for the ABU cause.

But one's patience can only hold the glue to stick that much right? Seriously, are the revelations on PKR, Pakatan and Anwar a load of hogwash that even surpass the cowdominum fiasco?

Is it not true PKR and Pakatan are imploding from their own infighting and doing?

While Pakatan will scream they don't have the advantage of the MSMedia to sing their successes, didn't they gloat that they have the advantage of the new media to carry their message, achievements, their agenda and hopes for the people?

Look at the pro Pakatan and Pakatan party websites. Few and far postings safe the Selangor Times list the success and groundwork they are doing to make life better for the people.

Their websites are jibes at every BN policies. Even their attempts to expose corruption fall short of sustainability. Is it they don't have the trust of whistleblowers that they will be able to really expose corruption and put the crooks away that many are not willing to go to them to expose corruption?

For those who will even vote for a donkey and are dead set ABUs, nothing that PKR say will change their mind. It is the fence sitters who will be decisive and if Pakatan or BN are not doing enough to convince them to cast for either of them, you are going to get spoiled votes and the status quo may remain. Worse those fence sitters who voted opposition may not vote for them which means marginal Pakatan won seats will be lost and vice versa!

There are those who don't mind the chaos of even 1 year Pakatan is in power just to prove that BN is not the good guys they make themselves out to be.

Presently BN has always challenged Pakatan and anyone who accuse them of corruption with their own challenge 'Where is the proof? If we are corrupt as you claim how come not one of the Ministers or their party members are jailed or brought to trail?'

This boast alone smacks of arrogance and it is this that drive the common people, excluding the rural folks, to want a change of government to prove the accusations to be true!

If we know our history, long serving political parties are afraid of losing simply because it will expose all the ills that have been swept under the carpet. It will expose their hypocrisy, it will expose their guilt, it will expose their vulnerability.

Barisan is afraid to lose not because they will lose all their businesses connected to them. The new government can't seize businesses like come communists because they have the laws to deal with!!!

Barisan is afraid to lose because it will likely expose the rot behind the supposedly solid million over party members and the great plans they have. It will perhaps implicate too many people and too many butts will be singed!

Barisan is afraid to lose because it will end their race based policies and crumble their divide and rule policy.

Pakatan is afraid to lose because it may send all their fellows to Kamunting if we assume BN mentality does not change. It's payback time in GE13 if Pakatan is reduced to the stump, hah!

Many are adopting ABU because they also share RPK's conviction that UMNO and Barisan are no better today than it was yesterday or 52 yeas ago or tomorrow or DAY AFTER!

If BN and 1Malaysia believe we are mature people who are not Arab Spring material, we hope such belief holds true if, and that is a big IF, BN looses in GE13.

But seriously are we politically matured enough for a civil change of government? The way the former Selangor government shredded its existence to bits after losing in GE12 lingers in the minds of many. We wonder if anyone has information of an unusual purchase of shredders and boxes in the inventory, hah!

It's all about perception and right now Barisan or rather for 53 years Barisan has been able to win the perception war they are the better alternative to the rural folks.

The Pakatan fellows are not doing a good job in the perception field. No not in the MSMedia but their own websites. As they say, action speaks louder than words and right now the actions in Pakatan are warlords doing battle with each other hah! They love to give fuel to the MSMedia to fire away at Pakatan at any minute incidents. Shows the Pakatan veterans, newbies and wannabes are still novice in politics. We must give our hat, no not the vote, to the Barisan people for being able to manipulate and be ahead in the perception war. Perhaps they have the taxpayer's monies to employ expensive foreign, ie. Brits Dream team to do their PR.

While Pakatan PR is all about infighting so the perception these days.

So what of RPK's my-wan end of Pakatan's prediction? The MSMedia and pro BN websites are literally still in New Year celebration of this piece de resistance New Year's publication. What fantastic timing to set the fireworks on Pakatan!

The question is was it PKR's call to publish on New Year's Day to yield maximum damage or was it a MSMedia cartel consensus?

Whatever the revelation date, the 'truths' in the interviews do hurt the Pakatan camp in the perception war. But how many are willing to call RPK a liar in what he said as if there are no elements of truth in it.

Whether RPK has done a Mayan on us or his own my-wan prophecy of doom to Pakatan can only be answered by RPK. Perhaps he must be fed up with Pakatan taking him for granted and not heeding his advice. Perhaps RPK doesn't subscribe to the if you can't win them you join them.

Perhaps it's RPK's last call to Pakatan to buck up or his prophecy will ring true?

Whatever it is, what RPK said is NOTHING NEW, warlords infighting, backstabbing, inefficiency, corruption and all the woes and ills we want to get rid off HAVE NOT REDUCED. BN and Pakatan haven't moved a bit to change these.

For BN, they are at an advantage. It's Pakatan who faces an uphill battle but they are behaving like they are winners! That's sheer pure arrogance. Perhaps that's what RPK is trying to tell them to stop dreaming and wake up.

For those who still believe in RPK, his latest jibe against Pakatan will not be his last. RPK has given an annus horribilis to Pakatan in his latest interview. But it doesn't mean he does not have his spare poison arrows to do an annus horrbilis on BN either right?

So to the BN party celebration, perhaps it's good not to serve all the good drinks and food too fast to soon eh? RPK may be scripting his-wan prediction of doom and gloom on BN too in between his tom yam soup and green curry, huh?

Happy New Year 2012!

2012-01-01T17:10:00.001+08:00

Wishing everyone a great New Year 2012. All I wish is for peace of mind, less stress during work and success in doing simple small things in life and find more time to live life's treasures each day.

Was at KLCC and Bukit Bintang and some celebration pixs below:

Ending 2011 with What's Your Best Quote of 2011

2011-12-31T13:28:00.001+08:00

But while one man standing in the road is a nuisance, a mere distraction, ten men standing together are far harder to ignore. And if those ten become a hundred, a thousand, a million, a billion even, they become a force so big, so strong and so united in their common cause that those who espouse hatred will face a very simple choice. They can join us, or they can remain where they are and be crushed by the force of our collective will...1Malaysia at Oxford Islamic Centre

Our delegates, in their speeches, must not offend the feelings of others. Use proper language and be aware that they are not only speaking to the 3,000 delegates inside the hall, but the 28 million Malaysians outside who will also be listening...1Malaysia

We have accomplished achievements that we can be proud of for all the various levels of society, no matter what background, religion or race. All groups are not sidelined and can enjoy the fruits of our efforts in developing the country... 2Malaysia ... Malay first, eh.. what's second...

We have various transformation policies to change our society and to develop it towards 2020. We do not look at your race or background. Everyone enjoys it and gets the benefits... more ehh what's the second one huh?

And never forget BolehLand's latest world class status as 'best democracy in the world' and advocator of 'the nation of moderates'..

Give us Bread, Give us Liberty to Choose

2011-12-31T12:35:00.003+08:00

One of the most famous cry of the French Revolution was the Parisians cry "Give us Bread", which was a precursor to all of France's demand to the throne to "Give us Liberty".

True to BolehLand's sickness, ills and woes that everything on and above this Tanah Melayu is being politicised, it has now come to the bread and butter or rather the roti (bread) issue. Even the bread we buy is being made into a racial issue? See story here.

Why on earth are we fighting over bread and who makes it? Isn't it about freedom of choice and capitalism if you have the means, be it monetary or money-gets-all or think white flour is going to give you the greenbacks, you go and bake your loaf and sell it? And consumers can choose what brand bread they want to buy?

Of course the ever sensitive halal issue gets in the way in almost every merchandise you use. Read merchandise, not activity, where the latter a lot of haram or illegal money laundering, corruption are being exchanged but these don't cause as much distress and sensitivity, than say the flour if it was sourced from a crony or from a non halal owner!!!

Let's hope the source of this allegation is discovered and we can safely eat our bread in peace, or, why should it matter at all if the bread is halal? Why the heck are we going racists over white or brown or even wholemeal bread?

If the base ingredient is being disputed, there is more far reaching consequences to this rumour. Simply because flour is the basis of so many of what we consume!!!

So will we get food manufacturers coming up with assurances that their products are halal and sourced from halal companies that are not politically controlled huh?

One thing for sure this bread war reveals is the kind of polices that are being perpetuated in BolehLand. Boycotting of products from cronies of a government is nothing new. BolehLand is expert in boycotting products of those who we deemed have wrong a religion, race and even language. No not the nation because many ordinary folks don't subscribe to government's foreign policy actions anyway.

We boycott the Brits, the Yanks, and every so often remind being reminded how anti Semite we are boycotting the Jews ie. Israel. Now the rumour to boycott this bread because the producer is a crony of the ruling government or supposedly not buying from a non halal flour producer is a continuation of our national boycott policy.

Political parties have always used the boycott card to rally public support against their opponents. It goes right to the supposedly businesses that the political parties have their visible or invisible hand in.

In the case of BolehLand, if we are going to carry the boycott to its letter and given the case of the visible hand of the ruling political parties in almost every business in BolehLand, if Sarawak is an example to choose from, ordinary folks will be left to only surviving on fresh air and sunshine!!!

Even if we want to boycott the locally produced car, the imported ones are all AP tainted with cronies well connected to the ruling government! So what are you left with trying to buy? If you want to travel on public transport, the cronies are behind the wheels too? Even the road you walk on, some cronies had a hand building it?

So it's not the bread alone if one wants to boycott that will give us liberty from cronyism. You'd literally have to boycott the whole of Tanah Melayu right?

The only people profiting from this rumour is probably the agencies producing the ads and the MSmedia advertising the denials!!! Oh now the rumour mongering net gets cast wider right? Such is BolehLand, hah!

Scene at mamak shop if the flour cronyism rumour is perpetuated.

Patron: What roti canai do you have?

Mamak: We have the pure UMNO, or if you prefer the Barisan National and we also serve the Pakatan roti canai!

Patron: Wow cool name?

Mamak: No sir, it's named after the companies which supplied the flour, oil, gas, salt, yeast, sugar and the migrant worker

Patron: One teh tarik please.

Mamak: The kurang UMNO, Barisan Nasional or Pakatan supplied sugar and susu (milk)?

Patron: Pakatan teh tarik but kurang or better no NFC susu please

Mamak: Sorry we don't have NFC susu only the burger and beef kurma sir

Mamak shouting: Satu canai Pakatan dan teh tarik Pakatan tapi kurang manis gula BN. No NFC kurma kua.

Pay or be evicted says Pakatan right?

2011-12-31T11:51:00.001+08:00

A local daily reported how the Penang Zakat Management Centre has stepped in to save three single mothers living under one roof from being evicted...by the Penang Municipal Council for RM456 rental areas.

And we know the Penang Municipal Council is under the DAP ala Pakatan controlled government.

The Pakatan supporters will surely deny they are being cruel and inhuman and will blame the MSMedia for reporting falsity.

Their argument is probably the response of the assembly fellow who was reported ...Sungai Pinang assemblyman Koid Teng Guan said he only gave reminders to the family to pay their outstanding rental payments to avoid being evicted...

Pure political bullshit speak from Pakatan. This fellow have been known to be inflicted by MCD, mad cow disease as he seem to shoot himself in the mouth, feet and head for saying some of the most ridiculous things in the past. This latest even surpass the current cowdominum BS! So if they can't pay even if you gave the reminders it would mean THEY WILL BE EVICTED, right!!!

One isn't sure the rational thinking behind their so called reminders! Being a single parent having to really make ends meet, the sympathy goes to the single mothers. We may not know the truth whether these single mums are filthy rich staying together or they really can't afford to pay for the rental.

It would be interesting to see how the Pakatan fellows will try and worm themselves out of this inhuman and shameful act.

Of course, there are many opportunists who will say that many are abusing the low cost homes to them. Agreed there are many who are abusing such a privilege but who has the political will to enforce the law to say the least? Who are those mostly living in such homes not by choice but simply they can't afford to buy their own home!

Which brings to the question of those who are willing to die and put others behind bars to defend the rights of certain groups to privileges and rights like discount for buying homes. How in the world did this happen that buying a home is subject to such apartheid policy?

Anyway, even if this group have a discount, they can't even afford to buy a home or pay for rental. So what are those defenders of rights and privileges all trying to champion? Preserve that right to those who can afford to buy million ringgit homes?

Those who need assistance should be given sympathy and empathy than defend oneself with the LAW to justify evicting people and what have you. It doesn't matter who is helping the single mum. Even if the action has an agenda or not, help was given. When one is in dire straits are we going to be like what happen to cases we hear with regard to medical insurance when the emergency unit arrives on an accident scene, they first ask if you have insurance before they decide the kind of aid or the hospital they will send you to huh?

So while we hear of Pakatan's grandiose dream to march to Putrajaya and bring about social change, if the genuine small things that matter to the small people are being neglected, will the majority ordinary small people believe they are the better alternative government.

The test of a government is not to blame others but how to resolve simple real ordinary problems. The big things are solved by issuing policy papers and coming up with grand NKRAs or KPIs. These means nothing to the single mums who are struggling to cope.

Anyway, it would do well for the religious department to investigate too if these single mums have surviving other half and if so whether they are supporting the single mum and the kids.

Kudos to the Zakat people for helping the single mums out of love, religious commitment or political agenda is secondary when situations demand we do the right thing at the right time.

Real Relations with Race Relations Law?

2011-12-28T01:27:00.002+08:00

Why have we come to a state where we need a Race Relations Act (RRA)?

It was reported in an online blog that ....Putrajaya will table a Race Relations Bill in March to regulate interaction among the races and foster mutual respect, de facto law minister Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz says.Nazri said that Malaysia’s Race Relations Bill would take after the British law in barring discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, nationality, ethnicity and nationality in employment, provision of goods and services, education and public functions.... Malaysia Today

Is it a joke to have a RRA if we are not going to dismantle race based political parties? How do you foster interactions and mutual respect if everyone is screaming to safeguard Article 153 or to dismantle it and what have you?

Or is the RRA perfecting the accusation that BolehLand is one if not the only nation in this world where apartheid is practised? Okay there will be those who question if we even understand what apartheid is? For the uninitiated and those who use South Africa of 'ole' example, it's distinguishing humans based and distinguished by colour first. This reference is similar to the colour distinction that is being perpetuated and often people or rather races are reminded what race they belong too. All for the good of peace, muhibbah, mutual respect and what not?

Why are we in the first place continuing to harp on race and religion as the guiding principle in designing fiscal, economic, educational, social and even housing policies?

It's nice to hear the RRA will ensure no one is discriminated on the grounds of race blah, blah blah. Which means you got to dismantle and open up all those institutions that favour only one race group with one religious belief who have exclusivity in education, provision of goods and services, employment and public functions right?

Or are we going to be told like everything else in BolehLand is premised on the Constitution, Article 153 to be specific. Like the policy to eradicate poverty, NEP had that noble intention but was hijacked and turned into an 'apartheid; like policy.

Then the NEM, which again argues Article 153 as the decisive factor in implementing it.

And the most visible everyday reminder is this misnomer called 1Malaysia concept which again is premised on respecting the social contract which again points to Article 153.

This Article 153 is like a Roswellian Area 51 where it is safely guarded and noone knows if ever the truth is know what the real intentions of the founding fathers were when they crafted this Article.

It's even a crime among those given rights and privileges under the Article to disregard it. Even if they want to, they will be accused of being ungrateful, committing treason, sedition, threat to nation. It is like telling everyone, don't rock the boat or status quo! You'd make the politicians lose their job right?

The RRA will be another farce like the Peaceful Assembly Act that latter pissing every citizen who values freedom of assembly.

The RRA will never bring about real relations if BolehLand and the politicians and race based NGOs insist that Tanah Melayu is demarcated, divided, segregated, walled up, compartmentalised, sliced and boxed into this thing called race+religion, i.e. one race+one religion supremacy over the rest!

If we treat humans as humans and accord them human rights & dignity, the question of race will not be brought up. Poverty cut across every colour, creed and age, so does discrimination, injustice and even exploitation and in BolehLand corruption, greed and what have you.

Sadly, citizens are reminded who is more deserving considered a human or worthy to be called children of God by virtue of colour and religion!!!

To say that only one race is poorer that the others is to deny that there are worst off poorer people in other races who do not deserve to be helped just because of their colour and religious affiliation. Children of other races have to fend for themselves to educate themselves even if they cannot afford because too bad they don't belong to that race or want to be converted as a passport to obtain earthly privileges and rights?

The RRA will most likely be used to institutionlised further the race and racist mentality and attitude that politicians are trying so hard these days to create. It's like the DNA of BolehLand is distinguised by race and religion. All others are at the behest of the majority if they feel like it to let breadcrumbs fall from the master's table for the dogs to eat, to but it crudely and cruelly.

What is happening today is that those given that right and privileges are first in queue and the rest will get their dues only when the privileged have gotten all they have. Isn't this the reminder that is being drummed into the people?

Are the above just fairy tales and lies made up by those who feel they are made to be second class citizens or being discriminated along religious and cultural differences too? If they are lies as the politicians condemn those who dare to question Article 153, then we must accept the fact that we are practicing apartheid.

For a No2 leader to say the government has never bullied or discriminated anyone and warn those questioning Article 153 is a precursor of what the RRA will be used for. To say something is enshrine is to make it like some God's edict and dictate! Will the RRA if it perpetuates what is enshrined likely become a Reinforcing Racism Affirmative Law in BolehLand? Will March confirm it or something radically good come out of it huh?

Either our government leaders are telling the truth racism doesn't exists and noone is being discriminated or bullied. Or, we citizens are so useless and behave like uncle kim's children to believe whatever the leaders tell us, say who we are, what we must and can believe and how we should behave.

Real relations is about accepting, respecting and even fighting against discrimination. Colour, religious belief, cultural differences are blurred or not in the equation right? The moment we distinguish ourselves as superior or are told we are better off than another, we are merely being nice to each other and tolerating our differences. No attempt is made to eliminate and break away the barriers that cause such need for tolerance in the first place. If we argue that justice is to be decided based on a social contract and colour and one's God, are we really practicing justice at all?

And we claim to build the best first class democracy the world has ever know? Well true in a sense because in BolehLand, we give total freedom and democracy to think up of shioksendiri ideas, policies and schemes.

Real relations with Race Relations Law? Bet the last freedom we have it will be as draconian as the ISA. And please don't even try and equate that our justice system is far superior than the British!

Season of Bad Ils

2011-12-26T22:29:00.002+08:00

Given the pessimism in politics and of politicians in BolehLand, it is kinda hard to swallow the message of goodwill being asked from the leaders especially to celebrate it in 1Malaysia style or whatever it means to anyone these days.

Christmas to Christians is a time of peace, joy and hope that a new rebirth has started of good over evil, a theme that also resonates in the major religions of the world.

In Bolehland, religion is state sponsored, protected, propagated and also being used as a tool by politicians to stay in power or gain power - at least for the official religion.

So when Christians pray and hope for inclusiveness in their freedom of worship, those who consider themselves protector of the official religion and guardians take offence that Islam is somewhat equated on par like other religions.

What does it speak of a religion if it is is equated to granting rights and privileges to earthly things. Like these tangible stuff were more important that a rightful place in heaven! hah! In BolehLand, it seems we are adding a new God's law that if you believe in Him you'd be guaranteed earthly rights and privileges to scholarships, housing, work in certain sectors and what not! And we are told God is being threatened, his Godliness seemed threatened by other races who question such immutable privileges and rights, And to make it eternal, those who questioned it get locked up!!! And anyone who argues against such logic are considered committing sedition!!!

It is a myth and a medieval thinking that there is only one true God. There are those who can claim that right either by a piece of paper or pointing an AK47 or strapping c4 on themselves to force this point. What is it we must use God to cow men into believing those of that religion deserve first place, first right, privileges and all that and the rest of mankind owe them support because they are given the right and freedom to worship other Gods huh?

Is it logical we are only allowed freedom of worship because these so called chosen ones allowed others or wrote that on a piece of paper called a Constitution.

Freedom of worship is fundamental and no piece of paper can take away or force you to believe in God or not believe in God.

To be told you are allowed to worship your God and given that freedom and protection, is a kind of conditional threat to you. If it can be given, it can also be taken away too right?

For anyone who has strong faith in his true God, he will not be bound by man's law to dictate to him who he should worship or if he can or cannot do so.

So who do these people think they are to tell others they are allowed freedom of worship and guaranteed this because these majority gave the minority the freedom, huh?

Noone should fear worshiping his God. It is like man telling God they know what is best for God and they are the ones who can save God!!! We make God like what the name spelled backwards means! Bow Wow to those religious fellows who threaten others with a piece of paper and harm to force men to bow down before their 'god'!

When Muslims try and pin fault on my religion for trying to convert others including Buddhists and Hindus, I'd just say that God converts man not man converts people to God!!! That is why even if I am the last non Muslim standing, I'd tell my holier than thou friends that God has no need to convert me because I have found the true God! Enough said.

It's no point trying to play God and try and collect brownie point by converting people. Worse if one uses a piece of paper to justify the action! How hypocritical.

And you are so a loser to argue about who is persecuting who and use other countries to point to discrimination of minor religions by the majority and justify it is also permissible in BolehLand.

The tired argument being used is how the West is persecuting and victimising Muslims so it's justifiable for majority Muslim nations to do the same to the minority, is it? That is enough to show the kind of mentality of anyone who try to justify that majority dictates the rules. So everything is relative right?

Why are we so fond of having a season of bad ills to people who believe in God and lead a good life based on their belief in their God? Why are politicians trying to behave like 'Gods', the very people who can't be trusted at all?

They say that the oldest profession is prostitution, but the oldest and first is politics when the first man accused another for making him betray his own principles. And politicians ever since have done so.

Politicians blame others for the woes of the economy. In BolehLand, politicians blame other religions for threatening the majority religion and minority ones!

It's a joke to hear we are allowed freedom of religion because the Constitution guarantees it and protects you to worship!!! That makes us greater than God hah!

It is because of religion, the worst kind of cruelty has been committed towards others. And we always say leave God out of it because it is man misinterpreting His words blah, blah blah. If that is the case, can we ask these 'men' in religious cloths or those who think themselves holy men, to stop trying to say they are speaking or preaching the truth or acting on behalf of God, no?

We can tell them they have been misinterpreting God's words even if a piece of paper confers them such 'God-hood' they are good at flying kites right?

So let's stop trying to spread bad ill will to those who do not worship your God. That goes for Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and fill in any religion here!

When the Constitution needs to give you freedom to worship God, there is something really wrong with how we understand God hah!

All I Want For Christmas is a Sensitive BolehLand

2011-12-25T09:36:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas Everyone. It's a day of peace, joy, love and hope. That's at least what Christians themed Christmas.

So in the spirit of Christmas, not going to be a scrooge even though in past week, BolehLand's nonsense, insanity and a whole lot of bullsh*t are getting ever more on high gear. So today, it's time to relax and be merry for the woes of BolehLand is always on us every second. Tomorrow is Boxing Day and there is time to go a bashing at the woes of BolehLand.

Today, it's dashing off for some relaxing walkabout and take some pixs.

Was at The Curve Mutiara last night to welcome Christmas. It's good to see the crowd was there as usual. And lots joining in the festivity, irrespective whatever men of faith, they wore different types of headgear, from Santa's cape to Rudolph's antlers. But what were those horns for? Hello, it's not Hallowen for Jesus sake! Goes to show many still think Christmas is that commercial thingy and that Santa is the incarnation of the Saviour of the World!!! Or is it this 1Malaysia overstated hype to embrace and celebrate our diversity.

It's Christmas where Jesus is supposed to put Satan away gheez. You don't see those horns on Chinese New Year do you? That's the thing about BolehLand folks, they want to make a fun joke out of everything not knowing the sensitivity. So am I being sensitive than letting one loose and anything goes? It's this lack of sensitivity and respect that treats serious things like some fun so that opportunists will use it to also make fun of a religious festival!

But folks did enjoy, joining in the music, company and that increasing up north behaviour of spraying 'snow' at each other and anyone! On a squirt is ok, but to canister dump and make the other person look like he or she just got out of a bubble bath is way too fun, right?

A Merry Christmas to all then and please let the rain go away!

All I want for Christmas is some sunshine, lots of fun, food and drinks and be merry. After all, so much hardwork Christmas arrived so soon again! Here are some Christmas spirit @the Curve, Damansara.

Bullying the Convent Nuns?

2011-12-20T21:50:00.000+08:00

The Convent Bukit Nanas principal appointment fiasco raises many questions.

The last would be over the race of the candidate which some are trying to politicise! It is not that the missionary schools or what is left do not have principals of different races. After all, they subscribe to the best candidate to protect the alma mater of the institution and the one they proposed are deemed to be able to carry on the age ole traditions of the school right?

So to say it is about race is rather adopting a juvenile uneducated mentality.

It's more of not living up to the promise of consultations than the Education Deputy Minister trying to find an excuse about not knowing retirement age and what have you, right?

Even the Minister's Koh's attempt to put a bit more believability to the 1Malaysia concept is a comical act that only confirms more than half the population belief that the concept is just another sloganeering to paint over the racist mentality of the government.

'The 1Malaysia concept is reflected in the country's education system, of which the various communities including Christian mission schools and other religious schools have roles to play..'. so Koh was quoted to have said.

1Malaysia concept is reflected in the education system... it's a Christmas joke that can only come out of the Scrooge!

One's reflection on a muddy pond is more real and believable than this overplayed ploy of using the 1Malaysia concept to try and make a wrong right, right?

The issue is just plain blatant disregard for the gentleman's agreement on the appointment of the principal. But then has this government ever been a gentleman towards others lately say in the last 30 years or so?

Even among themselves, they don't consult on important issues particularly on those that relate to other non official religions.

There have been too many times that such subtle covert attempts have been made to undermine the independence and rights of others. Haven't they got enough that they need to have total control and dominance?

Is there an agenda in this suspicious move? Noone really believes the government's excuse. Not yet because the ultra right race groups have not shifted into high gear to use this opportunity to paint a racist picture of other races. Perhaps they are crafting their police report against the school and the church for meddling in an education policy decision. And a Malay UMNO dominated government who is getting more racist to regain grassroot race support to stay in power huh?

For the Education people not to know the agreed upon process for the CBN's appointment is to either show how uneducated and ignorant they are or just a deliberate attempt to show the bully they are to arm twist the defenceless nuns to submission huh?

The reminder to all of us who seek to preserve whatever rights we have, if we dare to defend them that is, if you are not watchful and lose your guard, you will forever lose the last bit of independence, justice and rights you have.

So whose version do we believe in this fiasco, the nuns, church or the UMNO Ministers?

The poor principal is just a pawn in someone's agenda. Maybe a tactic to create this controversy than do a Koh's all inclusive 1Malaysia policy to show how sensitive, accomodative and race friendly the present UMNO dominated BN government is, eh?

The Christians do feel sorry and apologise for the embarrassment that the government has put on the principal. It's not her fault... it's entirely the fault of the bureaucrats, agent provocateur to stir up controversy just to score brownie votes for the coming GE13 huh?!

Isn't the above scenario plausible given than since GE12, BolehLand has conjured or rather the politicians have said, done, implied and will do so for many years to come, the most ridiculous, insane, evil, devious and greedy thinking and actions - even in the name of God, a lot in the name of race and more to stay in power?

It's really a scandal and unforgivable for the Ministry of Education NOT TO KNOW or to consult the church on the appointment.

Perhaps some smart aleck think they can use the Constitution to get their way not knowing that yes God, not the one we are told who is a true God but to Christians and all others, God works in mysterious way.

We wonder if the political situation is not what it is today, 1Malaysia and UMNO will make a gostan on their decision. No way they want to lose face right?

So who do we believe is telling the truth over the appointment? The nuns, people of God or the government who have been playing God for more than over 50 years?

And who is the bully here that we should shame them? Shame, shame, shame for bullying convent nuns eh?

Even if it's the Yuletide season, hope the Christians will really live to the give and take spirit of the celebration. Since someone tried to take away their liberty and rights, they should return it by giving their vote to the other side.

Now, isn't that a really Merry Christmas thought that brings love, peace and joy waiting for it to happen come GE13 huh?

It's not about spite or lack of forgiveness, it's as Christians say, God works in mysterious ways! So happen that the decision of Christians to abandon 1Malaysia is not a mystery anymore... an act of God or God willing as they say huh?

Stop Bashing Me With Your Thrash

2011-12-17T00:53:00.001+08:00

In Bolehland, as GE13 approaches, the 'bashing' game seems to overtake the 'dashing' yuletide festivity. So much so, one can literally hum a tune of the bashing that politicians and racists parties seem to be dishing out by the hour.

At the recent race political party, it's bashing race, religion, people, even their own kind and religion.

When things got uncow-ered, those who sought clarity are bashed.

When the public protest peacefully a law passed by those who are the culprits of breaking up peaceful assembly, these peaceful protestors are bashed for breaking the peaceful assembly law.

It's really sickening that everyone else gets bashed because the status quo of complacency, greed, corruption, nepotism, intolerance, bigotry, religious and self insecurity, arrogance of some groups or party are being threatening!

Stop bashing me for being successful because I had to struggle on my own
Stop bashing me because I can own a nice home because I didn't get to buy one with discount
Stop bashing me for my religion and the way I pray because I didn't get ready made money to build my house of worship
Stop bashing me I am smart because I don't get a chance of first choice for scholarship or university or residential school
Stop bashing me for being a doctor (any other profession) you are not because I am not privileged to get a privileged scholarship and had to do it all alone
Stop bashing me for converting you because I am not privileged to be given so many religious guidance and state funded religious classes to know my religion to convince you to convert
Stop bashing me for threatening your religion when I have no help in even having enough time or given time to pray to my God
Stop bashing me I pray in the national language because you demand we all know the national language
Stop bashing me for being able to speak an international language because I felt it was important and learned it on my own and you couldn't be bothered
Stop bashing me I succeed in business because I don't have the privilege to be given easy free loan or first choice for business licence
Stop bashing me I own shares because I don't have the luxury of quotas and to be given two chances to get new share listings
Stop bashing me for being rich because I know how to spend wisely
Stop bashing me for the car I drive because I worked hard for it
Stop bashing me I destroy your political security when I am told my vote is my right
Stop bashing me I'm disloyal because I pay my taxes
Stop bashing me for having my fun because I am not bound by your God or rules
Stop bashing me and my family because we had to fend for ourselves
Stop bashing me because I decided to leave because many of your own kind also left
Stop bashing me because I choose to love and care for the special people
Stop bashing me for my dietary habits because I didn't offer them to you
Stop bashing me for believing in my God because you can't convert me
Stop bashing me because I can think for my self because you want to control me
Stop bashing me I threaten your race because a large majority of your own kind don't care about you
Stop bashing me for taking away your rights and privileges because I don't have any to begin with or privileged or have the right to do so

Stop bashing for your insecurity because I had to struggle all alone to find my own security without help from you
Stop bashing me for the ills of the country because I am not the one who messed it up!
Stop bashing me because I do not agree to your live of corruption, bigotry, intolerance, self righteous, nepotism, greed....
Stop bashing me because you have can't find anyone else to bash
Stop bashing me because you have finished with bashing scapegoats from your own kind
Stop bashing me because I don't agree with you.
Stop bashing me with YOUR TRASH!

'Bashing and Blame Me all the Way' To the tune of 'Jingle Bells', pardon to the good ole Jolly Santa and his reindeer.

Bash me though and through

In a contiunous bashing mood

There's no stopping them

Bashing me all the time!

Bashing and blaming me

Making their spirits glad

Of what fun they get

To bash me now and then

* Oh, let's bash him now they say

Bash him all the way

Oh, what fun it is for them

To bash me in the open

When a race is weak

a religion is threated

Business is no good

and feeling very poor

They find me the one to blame

For the woes they are facing

So with a Ho Ho Ho

They bash me as their game.

Repeat *

A Truly Land of Smiles

2011-12-16T21:32:00.000+08:00

Northern Thailand, the Land of Smiles as often called has been called by other names most rather sexist, full of innuendos and plain unfair most times!

It hit news again when a small airline aptly called PC Air launched its first flight from Bangkok with its crew who would put our local beaus to a little less proud they are 'perasaan' with their so called vain pot beautify looks. The PC Air crew are the first it seems to have what many called these Thais beaus as 'katoys' ladybois! Yes transsexual air stewardess. Oh let's just call them stewardess than try to be biologically or morally or whatever correct ok?

According to the chief he said, "I think these people can have many careers - not just in the entertainment business - and many of them have a dream to be an air hostess. I just made their dream come true. Our society has changed. It's evolution. I'm a pioneer and I'm sure there will be other organisations following my idea."

Even if many holy folks in Bolehland make disparaging remark that the Land of Smiles is to them a Viceland - at least they, the Land of Smiles fellos that is, are more respectful to human rights and the dignity of these people than our BodohLand folks, at least those bigots and hypocrites we read in the msmedia.

Well done to the people of the Land of Smiles. At least they treat people with dignity even if foreigners who visit there tend to be culprits for the worst of vices they commit on the women folks. As they say, no demand no supply right?

Even if our holy BolehLand bigots try to pain a negative picture of the Land of Smiles, our hypocrites commit the dirties and foulest form of prostituting to their God of corruption and money and greed and don't forget the holier than thou mentality.

Sawadee & good service is all that matters!

We can bet the horror and disgust our men of robes here would react if our Firefly would follow PC Air's route, pun intended!

In BolehLand, the inquisition and call for blood and death and stoning to those who ask for respect to these group have not dissipated. One suspects that the Sekualiti Malaysia fiasco and these people are being made scapegoats to gain political votes because some fellows records are so filthy with corruption and abuse of human rights, they are trying to play God and whack infidels, perverts and those who to them deserve to be exterminated like what that madman Hitler did in his final solution to get rid of 'scums' to the Nazi regime.

Our holier than thou clerics and people are heading down this gas chamber route sadly!

PC Air to them is probably Pondan Crew Air and that is such a low disgusting attitude from our holier than thou moralists.

We boast or rather 1Malaysia boast we are the world's initiator and inventor of the nation of moderates and on the road to providing the best democracy in the world. Just let PC Air land in KLIA and you would see how Jurassic mentality our so called learned clerics and hypocrite politicians and NGOs would be!

The difference between two holy nations is in one called BolehLand, they use God to create a hell on earth. In another called a land of smiles, they make those condemned to hell by groups in BolehLand feel how compassionate God is to His creation.

And we still believe our political and religious leaders are leading us to the gates of heaven, hah!

God Supplying the Doe

2011-12-15T00:36:00.001+08:00

Friends have been wondering the sudden quietness in the blog. Well have been so busy on terra cotta than there wasn't time to see the 'real' world in cyberspace!

Work is becoming rather hectic, most of which are rather swirling in a whirlpool of verbosity and convoluted spin of simple things made pompous by a play of words to make it look important and buy-in. Having been into this churning out 'strategy' speak in volumes of decks, powerpoints and what have you presentations for too long, makes one feel comforted by the mass volume of verbosity - which are fluff really. These charts and bullet points and timing sequences makes one think that we are in a real world. Our security and comfort zones seem to be correlated to the number of impressive strategic speak, charts, diagrams and multi media presentations for bosses and who have you.

Just like this Pemandu fellows being so comfortable in their driver's seat because their journey seemed to be made clearer by the second because of the rate of powerpoints and media ads they put out there - simply to tell us common or rather the rural folks that everything is on track!

The one thing that seems on track for Pemandu is never failing to put up a great poster, billboard, powerpoint, above and below the line publicity and roadshows according to their publicity communication plan we can supposed.

So ever so often, we are fed with progress which is often told as 'successes' of the ETP, NKRA, KPI and other high sounding impressive acronyms that we believe that everything is on target or exceeding target.

Though some are skeptical of the rosy picture being painted with the success of 1Malaysia's pet projects, the second certain thing things are moving with this ETP is money, huge billions are going to be spent. Nothing seems too large a price nor huge a bill for 1Malaysia to make his pet projects a reality!

It's like the Pharoahs' of ole, sacrificing millions of poor souls and spending years on years to build colossal monuments and temples or pyramids for that matter, to get that shioksendiri feeling!

We read, it's not the destination that matters, it is the journey that matters! In BolehLand, it's the other way round. The MRT is what matter and the billions of ringgit spent is secondary. So too for satu lagi projek Barisan Natoinal on palaces, public utilities and new NKRAs which carry huge billions bill.

We are stomping our foot and getting all fumed up over some million ringgit loose change cow-dominum scandal compared to the gargantuan billions that seem to drop from some heavenly abode to pay for these huge high ticket items of 1Malaysia!

We are scolded for not reigning in our spending, for creating bankrupts unto ourselves, for asking government to subsidise this and that. We are told we are going to get bankrupt if we don't pay more taxes.

On the other hand, 1Malaysia is on a spending spree!!! There must be truth when UMNO tells certain racial groups that God favours and bestow the heavenly mandate on UMNO as guardian of this race, this religion and all things they do on Tanah Melayu. So that may explain how they seem to have endless pennies falling from heaven. God is providing UMNO the doe to complete their multi billion pet projects.

With such huge success which earns top top headline spreads to declare high speed successes, UMNO should not be bothered with character assassination or fight imaginary ghost to try and win the public's vote, right?

The public are not stupid, ignorant morons - well maybe the rural heartlands are. They can feel any change as well as difference. Right now, how concrete are the deck, posters, charts and powepoints that their nice looking graphical presentation of successes are real ones?!

Have we felt the changes in our lives with the setting up of 1Email, KR1M, 1Moblie clinics and the thousands of '1' thought up - 1 this and 1that initiatives at the expense of taxpayer's monies?

A consultant once reminded 'Do impressive decks ensure success?' We create an illusion of feel good when we create presentation decks. Our success seems to be gauged on how pretty our .ppt is, no?

But for some, even if they give terrible useless confusing ppt of their action or business plans, they still moo-ved the lenders to turn over green fodder to them to achieve their successes based on slide no 12a, appendix 3.1.23! Makes us all really think that God must really favour UMNO flushing them with cash and free money that it doesn't warrant accountability, transparency and ethical behaviour for millions given here, there and to whomever produces the prettiest '.ppt' presentation right?

But it pays to be connected and related to prove one's business point .ppt is really a brilliant idea that will put us on the world's map and free cash will Oh literally fall from the sky to the fortunate well connected and related fellows. Gosh some people, party that is, are so lucky to have such connection and related to the Man up there, right?

Blame, Blame, Blame, Nothing Has Changed UMNO

2011-12-03T18:17:00.001+08:00

The recent UMNO assembly has lived up to its over 50 years of tradition, fiery rhetoric, fevour nationalist to the point of supremacist mentality, overtly racist, which we guess is warranted because of the nature of the political party it represents and without fail, the holier than thou followed by a barrage of negativity and hurling hailstones at those who they deemed have caused the party to lose support and its political survival threatened by those they think are ungrateful - the gravity of the sin of ungratefulness are in the order of the Malays and the non Malays with the qualifier those who are from the other camp!

Phew this must be the longest longwinded paragraph I've ever blogged and made sense and as factual as a mathematical or geometry equation, whether taught in Bahasa Melayu and English, right?

The bogeyman and scapegoats this time are the Pakatan fellows every single one of them, irrespective if they are Malays and Muslim, which UMNO has made itself the ketuanan but ironically whacks them nonethless and then the Chinese and others!

Even the cowdonminum affair got only a low moo mentioned while the delegates were scalping the hides of those ungrateful Malays and Muslims from the PAS and Pakatan camp,

And of course the piece de resistance of the Assembly is always to remind who is the ketuanan and defender of Article 153 specifically the holy grail of rights and privileges that has now become cast in stone forever or rather a reminder to all that it is must be the dictate of God to bestow such privileged perpetuity upon this one race and one religion.

Seems ironical on one hand their delegates condemns the Malays and Muslims on the other side and then in one breath seek to preserve their rights and privileges nonetheless!

The MSMedia is having a field day and one may think they are trying to compete with the delegates in the halls of the Putra World Trade Centre, who is able to use the most vitriolic language to blame, blame, blame everyone for the woes and ills of the their party mind you. They seem to have absolved themselves for the state if the disunion in BoelLand and aim their keris at Pakatan and those who do not bow down and show their gratitude to UMNO!

While the delegates have not qualms to hurl verbal abuse at Pakatan and Malays and Muslims alike, the MCA and other race based parties have not voiced their disgust at the Chinese bashing via DAP and all other races.

Where are the MCA, MIC, Gerakan and East Malaysian leaders, Idris Jala when the delegates were condemning and accusing their respective race for threatening the race, language and religion of the Malays?

UMNO must be the most failed political party in political theory and history. After spending billions of ringgit and institutionalising Islam in almost every fabric of Bolehland society, the are telling the umat that their faith is so weak and fragile and easily being threatened by the non Muslim leaders, the DAP, Pakatan, PAS and other Muslims who do not share their Islamic model state.

If we listen to their attack on enemies of Islam, it shows they have done a bad job in strengthening the faith of the Muslims they have appointed themselves as guardians. Similarly, the Malay race have been so weakened to the point they are being threatened by non Malay leaders administrating a state. The call to makes sure every GLC is an UMNO appointee shows the greed and insecurity as well as ensuring that every rakyat sen is within their grasp?

They must be blamed for weakening the umat and the race, creating a race and umat that have low self esteem and negative self worth and the cause of such failures. Somehow they do not admit such weaknesses are their doing. The lash out at all those who do not vote for UMNO and brand these especially those who are from the Pakatan camps as the enemies of Islam, Malays and UMNO.

Didn't we hear 1Malaysia remind the delegates to be sensitive to the feelings of others before the start of the assembly? Or was the statement made was just some eye wash to show to the citizens UMNO has changed and matured beyond using race, religion and even language to gain public's confidence of them, huh?

The UMNO assembly has showned NOTING HAS CHANGED in UMNO. The have gone ultra chauvinistic and far right to the point of wanting to create a fascist state! We thought Uncle Kim was a vain pot to want all the attention unto himself!

It is now clear that 1Malaysia is just another trick to regain pubic support. The race agenda has reached its crescendo in this assembly and the world now sees the kind of leaders who are bent on malingering their own people just to stay in power. And we thought Syria has rogue leaders whacking their own people.

The message from the congress is 'if you are not with UMNO, you are against the Malays, Islam, Bahasa Melayu even the Constitution, no? And you deserve the foulest of expletives and harshest treatment meted against you so that you will be cowed to bow to the supreme leader and the party!

Wake up citizens, wake up rural kampung folks, wake up party members, wake up all those who are made suckers and being told that they have changed!

If you want to show you have changed, you are the better choice, shouldn't you be talking about how to uplift the standard of living of EVERYONE, eliminate corruption, eradicate social injustice, reduce inflation, provide better utilities and public facilities. No, they left it to their leader to talk about their economic agenda and that is in between ridiculing the opposition! Goes to show that the delegates don't know what the heck the ETP, KPI, NKRE and all acronyms being created to impress the rakyat with impressive power points and billboards that all is well huh?

We get a feeling when the delegates are served with this alphabet soup of acronyms, they are only looking for the letters that read, rights, privileges, quotas and handbouts! The rest are just cast aside!

Wake up citizens, UMNO, BN HAS NOT CHANGED and are getting even dirtier in character assassination and spending so much time criticiwing and condemning the people they way they are the ketuanan, condemning the their own umat hey have vouched to protect. Besides rights, privileges, quotas and handouts they are also obsessed with whatever the neighbour ie, the Pakatan people are doing, watching their every step and using any opportunity to backstab at their people, religion and community.

The leaders are not peacemakers, they are not builders of bridges, nor are they men of peace and goodwill. They are happy to join in the emotive chorus of condemnation, sarcasm and cynicism. The are ready to perpetuate corruption, cronyism, patriotism because they have been silent on these issues. Not even thinking these are stumbling blocks or are the concerns of the citizens!

Psychologists will tell you that insecure people will attack their opponents with the foulest underhand tactics as they believe by attacking and showing their ferocious and foul side, their enemies will be frightened. It's a sort of defence mechanism to hide their shortcomings right?

UMNO, if you are a party of strength, a party which holds high moral standard, a party that makes itself a party for all, would you have done what you just did?

The past week at Putra World Trade Centre is really a joke and a circus. Rather than resolve their weakness and put forth ways to strengthen and improve themselves from within, they went on a jingoist verbal abuse and offensive spewing salvos of venom at their enemies.

Hello we are tired of this same of lame blame game. Of rights, privileges and quotas. Of your race still being left behind, or your religion being threatened and weakened. Why all the accusing of the Chinese of threatening your language, culture or religion? Why don't just arrest all those you suspect are threatening you! Why this verbal showdown?

UMNO is behaving like a wounded mad bull, and they have to make up lots of imaginery stories for the bull to justify its action to go on the attack and gorge the hell out of those who stand in their way. This is the message we are hearing.

Is this the UMNO that will lead us to be a high income, matured and producing the world's best democracy and a nation of moderates? Do we want to vote a party that are showing undertones of seeking revenge when they get their two thirds?

Wake up moderate people and make their voice heard if you are disgusted with the way these people think they have finally killed off the Pakatan with their rhetoric and character assasination!

It's so shameful that sex and innuendos are fodder used by leaders to rouse up the emotions of their members! It shows the mentality of the party and what turns them out and what they prefer to do than take care of the people!

The theme from the congress are best summed in this ABC triplicates

ACCUSE, ACCUSE, ACCUSE
BLAME BLAME BLAME
CURSE, CURSE, CURSE

And our reaction can be also summed up in triplicates SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!

As I have blogged so often, 1Malaysia and each political party has been given so many occasion to turn an event into one of HEALING A NATION.

But the sickening thing is when opportunities present, we are told how sick our political leaders and parties is!

The last week UMNO thinks they have won the people to their side and the world will praise them for their foresight and maturity. But sadly the citizens think they have disintegrate into an Unsound Minds Negative Obnoxious party, huh!

Wonder which PR agency advised them on how to behave and the strategy they took at the congress. That Dream Team from Blair's den huh?

A Good Racist is Good For Racial Ties?

2011-11-27T13:56:00.001+08:00

Perhaps the best hobby among our political leaders is how to politicise anything and everything.

The BN and Pakatan fellows have been going at each other's throats since GE12 and MCA is right in pointing out that there is non-stop politicking since the last GE. Of course, MCA our Chinese based ruling party blames it on the Opposition.

MCA leader accused Pakatan of using "every opportunity to turn everything into racial and religious issues...There’s no denying the relationship among Malaysians of different backgrounds since March 8, 2008 is not as good as before..." as reported in an online media.

Which means that before GE12 or when BN was two thirds majority the past 50 years, every race based party was told to maintain the status quo and tow the line. Well at least not for the majority Malay based party, UMNO which dictates how the other parties and the nation should behave.

So when the people decided to vote a higher opposition number, the boat or rather the dacing began to sway back and forth, flip flop as the vogue term being used these days, each partner in BN began to play the race based card to remind their race who is their champion and who are their enemies.

Since GE12, the race based political parties have become more race based. Each side supported even their own left or right wing groups to champion their cause.

While Pakatan wants to paint itself as championing along principles, they cannot divorce themselves from grassroot support, which at this stage is still race based. So the defacto leader in Pakatan foist hudud laws, lukewarm to protests against Seksualit Malaysia, speaking in different tongues on the language issue for Maths and Science, and a host of issues that affect race, race, race.

Oh for a moment, we think that MCA is right in pointing out Pakatan being the culprit for the woes in BolehLand. But then, BN also fits nicely in what Pakatan is accused of masterminding.

MCA in accusing Pakatan of causing poor racial ties is admitting to be the supporter of the status quo. Even the issue of a non Malay premier is very very race based.

UMNO and BN gloat each time academicians and right or left wing groups argue against calling ourselves Malaysian first and others later. While these groups put a middle finger up against any attempt to break away from race and religion in seeking justice for all on issues of poverty, housing, education, business and a whole lot of every day issue, they are happy to use their index or first finger to expound this oxymoron 1Malaysian concept.

MCA fights for race rights, Chinese rights to their vices, gambling for one and even use the argument of jobs being lost if the greatest den of Satan, the gambling casino is closed! We thought the casino employs mostly foreign croupiers working at the casino huh?

Seems the MCA leader said said the Pakatan parties were not being truthful when they said hudud law would not affect non-Muslims. A PAS leader has said they would shut down the Genting Highlands resort because of its gambling outlet. If that happens, thousands – including non-Muslims – will lose their jobs. Who said it won’t affect them? ... DAP had kept silent on this matter..."

And we have even heard of their intention to fight till death to preserve gambling in areas where religious officials plan to impose hudud to stop such activities. They are silent on hudud to stop crime, prostitution, perverts and being politically correct on the homophobia behaviour afflicting our moral leaders!

Noone says you can't have a resort without having the largest casino floor space about 2,000 meters in the clouds huh? Sunway Lagoo and many resorts are thriving without the need for gambling dens where ole folks and parents leave their kids while they gamble away their kid's inheritance we can supposed?

While some people strive to remove ancient bad habits, MCA is rather like some ole Middle Kingdom Dynasty warlords seeking to retain thousand year old to them 'customs'! like gambling.

Seriously, are you less a Chinese if you don't gamble, drink, have mistress, swear, don't eat pork or think, eat, sleep, play MCA? Are you a less Malaysia if you also subscribe to these same behaviours huh?

In BolehLand, the English Language used to be part of our society and culture. Today it is considered a foreign element. MCA on the other hand wants the Chinese to retain their customs, ala habits such as gambling, perhaps even extra marital sex because Chinese customs use to look up to a successful man as having concubines to show off his prosperity and what about their love for self indulgence that brings them to 7th Tien, like opium smoking (thanks to the British in the 19th century) or drinking spirits?

MCA cannot decide what Chinese customs and habits it will fight to the death to defend and what it can give up when big brader dictates to MCA. UMNO has already said the timing is not right for hudud. So when the timing is right is MCA saying hudud is good and gambling must be killed off because it is evil, just because UMNO decided to implement hudud?

So why is PAS hudud more haram and dangerous to MCA than UMNO's hudud? When the Jabatan Islam decides to do what the laws MCA has passed to allow them to act, why is MCA squeaky quiet about it. But screams and shout when PAS says it will implement islamic laws?

Why are we always talking about racial ties? Are we not one nation? Our social, justice and freedom are being decided and dictated by race and religion. MCA is one of the main culprits perpetuating this, including BN and Pakatan.

So it chuckles us when MCA sought to remind BolehLand folks who is the cause of poor racial ties or racial tension or even being racist.

UMNO general assembly is round the corner. Already the war cries to remind each of us about who is the boss, which race takes first or why we should have and support this or that race for our survival is the jingoistic call from leaders! Everyone is reminded about the status quo and the need to be visible who is the ketuanan of this or that race and who are the betrayers.

The ordinary folks will be bashed for not wanting to wear the lens of race, religion, rights and privileges. Anyone who try and talk of principles like justice, fairness and freedom even of peaceful assemblies will be branded enemies of the state and also betrayers of their own race!

The way we distinguish ourselves is like how we brand cows and our durians so to speak! Each is of a certain breed and given a label! No wonder we are all being treated less than human beings and more like pawns to be shafted and shuffled around in the political game of who will win the poker game!

BolehLand can never get away from being racist because our leaders don't want us to break such race and religious barriers for fear of losing their political power? What has race to do with being a good leader or a CEO? Why must it be decided on race? Are we saying if you belong to one race you are more qualified? Just because you have a majority or minority race or group, you need to decide leadership based on some colour code or number game?

Let us see the lies behind by MCA or any political leader's accusation that this or that party or person is the cause of poor racial ties or conflict or tenson.

Leave the colour, God or what we eat or drink out if you convince others you are setting up a world class democracy and as the inventor of nation of moderates, huh?

To MCA. good racial ties means you must behave according to how each race is told to behave by the political leaders? And we laugh at Myanmar and ridicule Uncle Kim and those banana republic dic(k)tators hah!

The Red Dot That Shines Brightly

2011-11-27T10:33:00.001+08:00

Just back from a hectic learning experience down south, the red dot as most BolehLand folks like to label it including some other obvious ks stereotyping.

Have not been back there for more than a decade because there is more to adventure than visit what has been touted a surgically fine, pun intended city republic. Things especially the transport system does RUN EFFICIENTLY, the place squeaky clean and too sterile but then friends there are happy health is wealth in this city where wealth and fortune seems the gods of prosperity.

And dollar for dollar, as someone said in an earlier blog, things are cheaper, cost of living if you discount the home, car and husband in any other that is hah! Seriously, the McD, Starbucks is cheaper if you don't convert. And shopping for a camera resulted in close to RM2K savings and it was a full frame camera with lens mind you!

If a coconut cost $3 or so, why does it cost about RM4 ringgit or so in BolehLand huh?

Of course, one would always remind, convert it then you will know! But we are talking dollar for dollar, and there they are first world economy, high income, supposed to be more expensive dollar for dollar compared to BolehLand touting itself middle income for eons but still cost of living for food and everyday stuff is more expensive than down south? Why? Why? Why?

And what do the Singapore Malay friends think of their ancestors in Tanah Melayu in BolehLand. "If you think we are exploited and deprived of privileges, rights and all those things your bumi folks in KL accuse the LKY's government of doing to us, we would have gone to KL or migrated to Johor right?" said one.

"So what do you think of your 'cousins' north of you?" I asked.

And the reply if I am to post it would be too sensitive to our sons of the soil here because they weren't nice stuff these related race opinioned of their cousins in Tanah Melayu.

In short, the down south sons of the soil prefer to think themselves hardworking while think their northern braders and syasters the antonym of how the city bumis in the republic think themselves to be. "Noone is going to feed you if you don't make an effort and it's fair game if you want to succeed!" they keep on reminding. Enough said right?

Anyway, being so busy with business than pleasure, there was hardly time to find out what's happening in Tanah Melayu except reading from their papers. The most interesting report is about the 'freedom of assembly law' promised by 1Malaysia which is causing controversy. And that means today there is lots of catching up what the state of the 'union' is in BolehLand.

Love the transport system there and after coming home, same ole same ole greets you! sigh! And we proclaim we got oil, palm oil and the world's best democracy! Uncle Kim of North Korea and some 'Gabie' of Banana republic also said similar stuff if we recall right?

"But I like Malaysian Malays as my passengers, they are courteous and if I take a longer route they won't complain, they will just pay," said a taxi cab driver.

But it's always glad to be home to Bolehland and like in a relationship you accept the warts and beauty nevertheless hah!

Just some pictures below of what we always call our down south Singapore neighbours as 'KS' and they have equally similar stereotyping about us too! hah! Taken with the 'cheaper' full frame camera bought there! Don't we have ever more reason to complain our cost of living is high for a third world developing country huh?

Beauties With Brains

2011-11-20T18:34:00.001+08:00

The Sarawak people are not as simpleton and the deposit state as the Semenanjung government think they are.

The Sarawakians are getting to know their social contract with Semenanjung better than us Semenanjung folks about ours.

The Sarawakian beauties do know their social contract than the Peninsular beauties when they decided to use their brains and conscience to participate in a beauty contest aptly taglined 'Beauty with brains'. See story here.

Well our beauties may think they are so independent minded but their freedom of expression may not be long lived if our Semenanjung religious folks have their way. Expect the unexpected in BolehLand because when it comes to matters of religion, not even a camel will be able to pass the eye of the needle from our religious gatekeepers.

So beauty contest among the many thousand and one things are prohibited in BolehLand. And there are really many religious vigilantes out there ready to file police reports and be the eyes and ears of God, the men of cloth actually, to bring their braders and systars before the Inquisition for reeducation, cleansing and rehabilitation.

The organiser is being honest to ask for a fair and just implementation and not single out beauty contest as some evil plot to send beautiful souls to hell! Looking at our women aquatic, synchronise swimmers in the SEA games, will they be visited by our men in cloth after they returned home. It's odd that these fellows are not part of the oversize Games entourage to lecture our Muslim women on proper sports attired before taking the plunge, on the water and the gym floor that is!

This thing about beauty contests and the stereotype thinking is that - it is peddling one's moral dignity and selling one's body to be ogled by dirty ole men, queers and horny men crowd and thinking the audience as all perverts.

It's not permissible to parade before an audience, whether it is a beauty contest related to a long held tribal tradition or the modern commercialised pageant. That is a non negotiable rule. And we Semenanjung fellos must be confused the kind of 'advice' being advised between the two land mass of BolehLand.

At one Tanah Melayu, it would be an outright ban and anyone defying it faces the wrath of the religious body and sent to rehabilitation camp. While at the other Tanah Melayu, the fellows there are 'very open' and just advise without going into a frenzy and involve rulers and God!

It would be interesting in days to come what will happen to our five beauties whether they will be treated as stubborn beasts that deserved to be locked up and undergo rehabilitation!

As one says, when it comes to religion and politics, you are not allowed to use your brains to rationalise on God's dictates or the government's laws or way of doing things, right?

What is the difference between making and dressing up for a beauty contest to be ogled by third party and those who spend more expensive bucks at beauty salons and make up and dressing up for an outing or dinner or event to be also ogled by third party, huh?

One parades before a fixed crowd, while another also parades to an even more public crowd! So why are beauties in beauty contests given bad marks while beauties who are on their own beauty quests are even given praised for knowing how to win hearts, minds and what not from the audience.

How many times have we heard commendation and praises for first ladies and high profile women for dressing up elegantly for the night by MCs and VVIPs huh?

Oh it's the contest and nothing to do with the women, right?

Hmmm, wanting to gain some recognition and respect from being beautiful as well as showing you have brains is really confusing in BolehLand right? And sadly that concerns beauty queens and not other beauties! Wonder what discrimination do you call this?

So Much of Threats & Defending in BolehLand

2011-11-20T15:32:00.001+08:00

BolehLand leaders are always very vocal and launch their protests at hotspots of conflict in the Middle East, Africa and especially at Western democracies where Muslims are considered minorities at the discrimination, lack of human rights, victimisation, tolerance, violence, threats and religious profiling being are carried out.

Okay, admittedly the leaders are really mousy quiet at the Arab Spring where Muslims are slaughtering their own kind, the latest in Syria. But when it concerns the Zionists and Palestinians and Arabs, our leaders are quick to launch salvos of condemnation at the victimisation of a race (which we all should protest). But most of such concerns and angers are often of a religious nature than a political or humanitarian one.

Our leaders are equally vocal at any Western government who threatens Muslim communities and those who belittle the religion, the latter which all God loving people should defend their faith against bigots who seek to prevent believers from exercising their God given right to worship who they please.

No communist, free thinker, atheist, far right wing political groups or religious left or extremists, whether with official government support or foreign fanatics support should be allowed to prevent anyone from exercising his/her religious belief. So just at the Pope has every right to whack governments who try to persecute and victimise his flocks, so too any religious leader has every right to whack any government or anyone who tries and persecute and victimise their believers, yes?

In BolehLand of late, there have been so many reminders and warnings from religious and political leaders, those defenders of the constitution who have decided which God should be given majority right and even considered as the true one over others.

Over the past few years, the frequency, more prominent after GE12, of such reminders and warnings are on the rise. The most recent about solar powered bibles and this general term disunity and even UMNO being singled out as a threat to the official religion and race!

Probably the solar device fried off the good grey matter of this fellow resulting in an OTC - otak tak centre ramblings about threats and what not hah! While the other ole sage thinks his BolehLand he built are doing boleh things which to him are tak boleh, hah!

Aren't we all tired, Muslims and non Muslims of being told that BolehLand seemed to always under siege, always being inflicted by bad intentions and malaise by their people against one another, whether beliefs, race, language, cultural practices and even cuizines?!

Why are citizens being treated like babies and morons, incapable of standing up on their own and to decide or know how to defend their own beliefs and what have you!

Why is it if there seem so many unending threats against one religion, race, language or lifestyle and the source of those threats have not being identified, removed or taken care off? Why is noone unable to have the political will to rid the land of all such perceived real or imaginary threats against the Malays or Muslims especially since these issues are always concerned about this race and this religion huh?

Are not both Muslims and non Muslims tired of being told so often how useless and weak we are in knowing how to behave towards each other and that only the political leaders and religions clerics know what is good for us huh?

It seems Islam is under attack, Muslims are under threat, Malay unity is cracking, other race and religions are undermining the faith, language and life of the Malays and Muslims and vice versa! It is like this group is the chosen ones and is like some diamond mine, so valuable and precious that others are out to do them harm out of jealousy, greed, spike and what have you. And we thought it was the Jews who were in this predicament hah!

Jesus, jeezh, gosh, it is certainly very very stressful these days living in BolehLand. So much of threats and defending in BolehLand. Seems we are all living in some sort of religious, race, language and cultural minefield and these political and religious leaders are the Generals laying out such minefields around us!

As if we trying to manage our every day material existence is not enough, we have to be reminded of our religious and even political duty to vote this race or that party to ensure the status quo is maintained and somebody's race, religion and culture are not threatened, undermined and what have you! And others are reminded of the punishment if one doesn't tow the line of these leaders?

Why are we citizens being reminded and worst being labelled as trouble makers? Why are these leaders painting a picture of their believers and citizens as weaklings and trouble makers, thinking we ordinary folks are all out to annihilate each other or create a war zone in BolehLand?

Why is BolehLand being made into some sort of very volatile timebomb that is on the cusps of a religious wars, race war or a clash of civilization is about to erupt, an Armageddon in the making huh?

To say it's sad these politicians and religious leaders are having such siege mentality is an understatement. Ordinary folks should voice their irritation and anger at their juvenile mentality instead!

Listening to all these fearmongering being vomited out by zealous political, religious and at times NGO including lalang academicians, an outside will really sympathise with us BolehLand folks that living in BolehLand is really very stressful for Muslims and non Muslims alike.

Who are these leaders who are creating such Armageddon mentality among us? Why are we allowing them such impunity to accuse anyone and everyone whenever it pleases them? Are they so bored with their political or religious duties they need everyday to play BIG BRADER watching us or rather brainwashing us to do their bidding, huh?

Jeezh can these fear-mongers and harbinger of negativism, fatalism and death get a life please and leave us alone. We are adult, mature and right-minded to know how to defend our religion, race and language? Don't treat anyone as a weakling or as a terrorists or have ulterior motives to try and create instability in BolehLand.

It is NOT the ordinary citizens of Bolehland, of any race, belief or colour who feel threatened. It is the LEADERS to be blamed for all the suspicions, fear, bigotry, racism, fanaticism, mistrust and negativism that they are trying to fan on all of us ordinary folks and make everyone all hot and heated up to flame and torch each other.

What is the intention of all these warnings and threats from these political and religious leaders huh? Please go get a life than mess things up further in BolehLand!

Stop trying to raise your army of crusaders or jihadist or taliban or hate army. Don't be so self righteous and that applies to all political and religious leaders!

Why are we not builders of peace and harmony than acting like some angel of doom and death? People literally are killing each other elsewhere to gain freedom and peace. In BolehLand, we enjoy freedom and peace but are trying so hard to literally make each other kill each other!Why? Why? Why?

And why is the media giving so much publicity to allow these people to feed us with more of such nonsense! The MSMedia is equally to be blamed and they are like the agents of these leaders in helping them to achieve whatever their agenda is!

It would be the day if reporters can stop these critters and ask them at the media conference 'why are you raising such alarm and threats, what is your intention, do you think the ordinary folks feel the way you do, why are you not arresting those you accuse of causing such threats...' Can our reporters not to be like some sponge or mob soaking up such thrash from the verbal diarrhea from such fear-mongers, huh?

What new salvo of potential threats and wanton destruction will our political and religious leaders fire up today, tomorrow and the day after ad infinitum huh?

Defending real or imaginary Armageddon in BolehLand?
