Shivers down your spine - Malaysiakini

When Gobalakrishnan landed on Kuching he had no idea what awaited him next. A letter forbidding him to enter a state in his own country for no good reason. To his surprise and also half of Malaysia he thought this is ridicules. The ironic part, the motive to suppress gave him more publicity than he had before and it shone much light on why and where the directives came from. Sometimes you wonder why a person with abundance of overstayed experience can ultimately make decision that defies the main purpose of the decision. Now immigration and state official are scrabbling for reasons.


Gobalakrishnan


As we gain closer to the anticipated change in the coveted seat, I can’t help but realize that the mainstream media has shortened its tentacles to reach selective news. It was apparent at the point after the political tsunami reports of political news in Malaysiakini and other mainstream media was nearly similar. I personally was afraid that Malaysiakini might loose its sting. Boy, how wrong was I!!! For instances the coverage for Hindraf drew front-page for many weeks previously but Jerit ‘the ride for change’ doesn’t seem like worthy news for editors in the mainstream media currently. What about the interdicted MP. Barring an MP from a state in Malaysia is not news!!!

An analogy of the situation is a tea lady who can’t make tea. What is worth of your job if you can’t do what you are particularly supposed to do? How do we stop corruption when even the media is scared to shine light on it? China on the other hand, we know are serious about corruption. They hang you for corruption. That you see, send shivers down your spine.
When we send a profound message as deadly as that…. is when we are serious.

Hello World, race and religion destruction

Past few days has been a highlight of brazen and brutal terrorist attacks on innocent individual by radical minded groups. Although the trails they leave behind are animal like cruelty the execution of their sickening beliefs shows the finest of human brains. With guns and nuts they can batter the human spirit to half its strength, what can they do with weapon of mass destruction at hand. At a point where the world being so easily influenced by circumstances, what will we do to stop the cycle? Apparently the anti-terrorist packs by the supreme powers of the world whose relationship between lengths decade long since world wars does not seem to reduce but rather increase the violence to mere brutality that can scare animals.

Revenge is like a ticking clock. It never stops. It ticks and tocks. Scaring and suppressing terrorist has always been a bad idea. Unfortunately egoistic nature of human beings reduces the chances of admitting it to zero. You give it a tick and it gives u a tock, where will it end if it does. People have different views of how the world should be. And they don’t like to be stopped from spreading the influence. And in order to spread their beliefs, people need people and more people. Is the paramount ego of the world stopping terrorist or incidentally fueling terrorist by helping them influence people?

Although we are all human the valley of race and religion difference is so deep that the hatred and anger causes catastrophic damages that widens mankind. Dictatorship to solve the problem deepens the valley further. It is hard to find fairness in a world where your currency has a lesser value because you are being born in a different part of the world. You can work harder and be smarter but still live a lesser life because you are born on the other side of the dictatorship. But who told us the world is fair?

Malaysia has a considerably wide race and religion spectrum but yet we are an opposite of a terrorist country. In fact we put other countries to shame as countries with ideal race and religion congruence has more terrorist.

We are doing something right. Only ego stops them from learning.


In condolences of Hema Kassipillay....

Obvious but obscure. Are we ignorant?

FAT to the WA for macha, amoi and sayang. Imagine this

Religious body has banned the word “Macha” among certain races as history of the word seeds from deep hindu roots. “Amoi” too, a commonly used word among teenagers and young adults mostly, have been censored as using the word might deviate from ones religion and belief. “Sayang” is a common word used among all races in Malaysia , in most cases as a pet name for ones lover is also banned among certain races as the word might bring people closer to a different creed.



100 million vote for US president.

US elect-president had to go through critics and sarcasm day in day out for months. Debating in public answering to question that he can never be prepared for on the spot as hundreds of millions judge him. He had to handle every move taken every word spoken with careful care every single minute and second as all US citizen had their eyes on him ready to pounce when he makes his 1st mistake. Fortunately he did not as only a true resolute man who can withstand the enormous pressure can go on and become the president of the most powerful country in the world especially under his peculiar circumstances.

Having said that Malaysia PM’s campaign is chosen from 2500 candidates who are party members. Candidates is chosen from a show of hands mostly, within the division where THEY WOULD KNOW WHO YOU VOTED FOR. Then in turn the division will come up with the candidate that they deem is suitable for the position and again WE WOULD KNOW WHO HAS CHOSEN WHOM. The candidate involved does not have to directly campaign for their position or prove themselves or go for debates/speeches or anything. There is no platform where they air their aspiration/vision/goals or policies for a better future. Branch member will just vote for them for no apparent reason (supposedly in the eyes of the public). In the end only candidates that gets enough pre-voted can stand for the party’s election. The party’s election is held among 2500 people. In conclusion we have 2500 people who have the power to decide the next Prime Minister of Malaysia whom in future will have control of the direction of billions of ringgits, economic development, social and fiscal policies, the cabinet and other absolute power.

2500 people are given the deciding power equal to 100 million people in the US.

And we wonder why the United States produces astoundingly great leaders.

Disunity or Unity

When Chen Lee Whee was arrested it makes us wonder is Malaysia united or disunited. This poor girl was fighting for the hardcore Malays to protect their shelter. I think she is one of the bravest women in Malaysia for pushing through the racial difference to fight for something she believes in. So what is the fuss for disunity about?

When Hindraf was declared an illegal organization, (because they are regarded as a cult by certain intelligent minister or intelligently challenged I presume) we were accompanied by loud outburst from every racial quarter within the government and otherwise. Even PAS leaders a dominant Islam party appeared to defend them.

When Teresse Kok was arrested for god knows what, we heard the same tune from everywhere regardless of race and religion. Even the mosque came out to defend that she never step foot nor got involved in their matters.

In Penang the former CM was defeated in the election by an Indian professor against odds considering Penang is an area that reflects the Chinese sentiment mostly. Ironically the same Indians which are regarded as extremist and can cause racial hatred by certain smart ministers, voted for PAS instead of MIC.

In the parliament it is Lim Kit Siang who is fighting for an Indian’s cause more than any Indian ministers now or previously.

Kelantan in dominated and ruled by an Islam party yet if you ask an Indian or a Chinese who lives there to consider shifting to KL he could give you more reasons why you should shift to Kelantan instead.

When RPK was arrested, we witnessed Malays, Chinese and Indian coming together like never before to fight a single cause to pay support to him. They who were directly or indirectly involved ranges from the ones who bravely stood out to talk to their friends about him to those who courageously followed him to court and back are heroes who defied racial differences and focus our similarity to unite for a common cause that we all believed and supported.

Our fore father would have been proud of all of us today. Although we run a normal life we have been instilled with compassion and tolerance for other race and religion by our experience. We might not realize it because it is instilled so deep into us that we fail to notice yet we practice it consciously and unconsciously.

So where the heck is disunity?

It seems disunity is induced by those whom we ourselves give power so there is an illusion that they are fighting for our rights peculiarly. If you doubt the statement check whenever a racial remark is spoken previously, the responsible party is whom we put there in the first place. Unfortunately this is not 1969 and it is an insult to our intelligence to even consider the idea.

Regardless of any political climate we as a Malaysia are proud that we can tell our friends in other countries that “We are united to oppose the disunited”

The story of a famous Horse Jockey

This is George Edward Arcaro. He is one of the world famous horse jockeys that ever lived. He passed away in 1997. Recently there was new evidence that surfaced pointing to the cause of his death. Friends and family members explained that he was watching a video clip when he suffered a heart attack. The clip was not ascertainable until
TODAY!!!!!!!

The following clip can be harmful to people with weak heart condition, can cause distress, sleeping disorder and emotional disturbance. If you suffer from weak heart condition it is recommended that you do not play the clip below.

If you ask me what you think about Khan getting a Datukship. With all respect to Khan, I think it's as ridicules as this clip. But this clips exists because there are people who idolizes the impossible as there are people who losses their conscience when they are given power to decide. I hope this clip salves the person in charge as it is equally farce.

I Invited You - NOT (Hindraf)

Ajak-ajak Ayam
Ajak-ajak ayam means an invite to a function but with no real intentions of wanting the invited to attend. Although it is not common in Malaysian culture it seems to have been popularized by top politicians recently.

Gate crashers
Traditionally it means to attend uninvited events by force. Latest trend suggests ajak-ajak ayam invitees also falls into this category but is only adjudged by close peers of the host after the party followed by endorsement from the host at a later stage.

Delusional gate crashers
The meaning relates to gate crashers who seem ignorant or oblivious to ajak-ajak ayam. These groups are either unaware or manipulated into believing that the host of an ajak-ajak ayam invite would welcome them with open arms. The result is futile complains against parties who report the embarrassing incident in bias and exaggerated manner.

Dissonance opportunist
An opportunist who is constantly seeking elements that merely suggests disunity and exemplifies the incident to create a hostile situation. Example below may give a better understanding:

'kalau penyokong H***** melakukan penghinaan seumpama itu di kawasan-kawasan pendalaman yang menjadi kampung halaman orang M*****, mereka sudah pun diajar tentang makna dan akibat berperangai kurang ajar’

These opportunists although highly dangerous to national security, are for some unexplained reasons seem to be above the law. Fortunately the opportunist statement barely reflects the sentiment of both parties on either side and obviously suggests an unsuccessful personal agenda which rarely manages to manipulate anyone except the shallow minded opportunist himself.

A letter to Sammy-Dummy

excerpts from sammy-bammy's blogs
“I hate Indians. It’s bad enough they are famous for being drunk and rude (most of them anyway). Now they carry the reputation of being stealer, robbers, rapist, idiots, morons, drunkard bastards and list goes on...”.




After reading your ridicules outburst on certain race I was but at first eager to chide you back but there was something that stopped me almost instantly from doing what you did. It took me sometime to contemplate but I eventually figured out what stop me, it was being educated. What is the meaning of being educated? Is it the ability to be rhetorical or the fortunate privileges of higher education? Education is useless unless we can fully utilize it in a right way. Being educated means being able to make judgment not based on emotions but rather with logic and humility. How you behave shows how educated you are? How you behave when you are under emotional pressure concludes if you are really educated. Fighting, raping stealing etc is physical outburst of people you can’t handle emotions and feelings. It is not action based on logic and consensus. What about verbal outburst? That I will leave the readers or maybe Sammy herself to decide. As far as I know an educated person will not resort to physical outburst like raping or stealing just like an educated person will not resort to outrages verbal outburst. The uneducated is a failing of the educated to educate the uneducated. For that I take the blame for you and the 2 indian guys. I am sorry.

There are certain races infamous for particular negative activities but blaming only a particular race for a certain negative activity is absurd. Let’s say there are Mahmood, Chan and Indran. Just say Chan is well known kingpin of organized crime such as drugs, sex and smuggling and Indran is a drug addicts. Indran can be the creation of Chan’s wrongdoing. If Indran steals to pay Chan for his drugs, do we blame Indra or Chan or “Chan and his friends” or “Indran and his friends”? Why don’t we blame Mahmood (police officer) and his friends who took bribes from Chan? We can blame Mahmood, Indran and Chan but not and never their friends.

It is bad enough being robbed but it is worse robbing oneself of dignity, pride and perspective of others. Words are deadlier than punches. Apologies that are the cause of circumstances will never be appreciated. It is amusing that a week of cogitation is more than enough for a person who has the basic education to start a blog to reflect on mistakes such as this and concede. Obviously it is the police report that seems to induce an apology rather than time or contemplation.

Headlines from Malaysiakini

Back again. The viewer who’s visiting my blog is slowly climbing. At this point of time it’s at 27. 17 is by myself and the other 8 is by my friends who I forced and balance 2 which I can’t really figure out, maybe were trying to surf ronaldregan and miss-clicked. Back to business….

1. Taib family's CMS to benefit from dam –All the funding and construction workers from Bakun project would be rushed immediately to the new dam side. Bakun project would be cleared to accommodate the sudden influx of native(whose communities are asked to make way for the new dam) to Bakun, although they would need to walk a few hundred kilometers, running is recommended. A new design of rumah panjang in Bakun is to be layout named ‘The dammed rumah panjang’ Natives are offered subprime loan for the rumah panjang’s. It is suggested the new dam should be crafted with faces of well know people (like Mount Rushmore) for exp: All Sarawak CM’s for the past 25 years. Oppss is there’s only one.

2 Second habeas corpus filed by RPK’s lawyers - Honestly I have no idea what does habeas corpus means… it sounds like a dead body with flowers on it. Anyway we all know the court is going to reject whatever filing is being done as long as the ISA is not abolished.


3. Najib ensures economy solid after shares dive – Although the Malaysian stock are on a free fall for the past 9 months certain leaders ensures we got nothing to worry with statements like“The fundamentals of the Malaysian economy are strong. The economy has the capacity to weather the destabilising consequences ... in the US economy and international financial markets”. The statement although seem to contradict with the recent blunt accusation by clearly distress world leaders who are accusing US for egging on uncontrolled financial speculation. World leader of countries whose states are bigger that Malaysia itself are panicking but Malaysian leaders remain confident of our economy.

3.1 It is said Malaysia have been trading secretly with aliens from Mars and Venus so our economy do not depends entirely on partners like US despite the latter being Malaysia top exports officially.

3.2 Other understanding is that the phrase “Malaysian economy”, is actually referring to the government linked cronies and top politically linked businesses rather that the common understanding of the overall country’s financial situation.

Malaysiakini - The Soap Opera

Okay here we go. To summaries Malaysia’s soap opera currently, PM want to stay in power till 2010, DPM don’t mind waiting for less than 2 years, former DPM wants to rule the country and former PM is not happy with all of them.

1 It’s like a love triangle without love.

2 That’s just the beginning, let us evaluate each strategy.

3 PM’s golden rule, ignore what the public is saying directly, listen to family members and the views of the DPM plus other top figures regarding the public sentiments instead.

4 DPM job scope is to advice on the date of power transition and also timing of sudden overseas learning trips on plants and flowers. This timing is highly top secret and need careful consideration as the consequence of miss-timing can be disastrous to employment.

5 Former DPM role is to make sudden releases of information and evidence that can directly disrupt and distract PM’s and DPM’s job functions. “Hope” is the key word in the plan. Timing is little less observed because timing does not really matter to the former DPM as datelines can always be changed.

6 Former PM key motto “not to be happy with anyone” and “my way or the highway”. Try to go against any groups or individuals at every opportunity possible as criticism helps to improve people.

7 There are also other conspiracy involved like the roti canai astronaut, the submarine that kills money and people, the disappearing P.I, the infamous handsome global coffee boy and the judge with an egg.

8 Hope they don’t get me a VISA without a V. I don’t think I’ll be getting the former though as we have been recognized as resourceful people whole fully utilized our temporary visits for various purposes.

9 On the bright side that’s one ranking we are climbing instead of sliding.

The Reason

Welcome onboard, well first of all there must be a reason for anything that happens.As true as there is a reason a criminal must be in jail there is a reason for me to start writing a blog. I never thought this day would come, just because of my mindset of thinking blogs were for kids....





YES .. you can tell me how wrong I am.....





A blogger can become an MP and Tony Fernandes has has his god damm blog I don't noe wats next... Damm i feel like my grandma who thinks a remote control is troublesome....


The main reason that drove me to create a blog is Tony's. He's one guy I truly admire, he is definately in a class of his own and someone we all could learn from.



I was thinking maybe I could add sarcasm and humor into our Malaysia politics( as if its not humorous enough) for everyone and share my passion about succesful business people that we can learn from.


Anyway I was planning for like a MEGA INTRO for the blog... You knoe something like the introduction of INDIAN star for a movie......














Then on second thoughts, I'll just let the Superstar's stick to what their good at( flying in from heights that would scare eagles, and super punches that could bring down hulk) and I'll stick to what i'm good at ( being sarcastic).
Most of my indian frens would know what I mean. I hope I'll have the passion to continue writing for a long time. Till the next post...
