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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt; "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..."&lt;/span&gt; And to make the threat stick, increase our allowance RM2 more to about RM6/hr to defend Putrajaya, good enuf deal RELA huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUZ8lxBs6Xg/TykiQ2m75xI/AAAAAAAACwA/ic3Le9Pv9FM/s1600/pjayaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="298" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUZ8lxBs6Xg/TykiQ2m75xI/AAAAAAAACwA/ic3Le9Pv9FM/s400/pjayaf.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final score, 1Malaysia BN, 70% of population of BolehLand plus 2 million legal and illegal migrants strong. Pakatan 30% die hard supporters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-3894709556725737689?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/3894709556725737689/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=3894709556725737689&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/3894709556725737689'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/3894709556725737689'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/02/defending-fortress-putrajaya-rm6hour.html' title='Defending Fortress Putrajaya @RM6/hour'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AUZ8lxBs6Xg/TykiQ2m75xI/AAAAAAAACwA/ic3Le9Pv9FM/s72-c/pjayaf.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-5596545625853240950</id><published>2012-01-31T00:01:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-31T00:06:46.015+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race issues'/><title type='text'>When Actions Betray The Intention</title><content type='html'>The Perkasa fiasco of handing out &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2012/1/30/nation/20120130210749&amp;amp;sec=nation"&gt;'white' ang pows&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3aSQMnk_q1E/Tya9M6Q16eI/AAAAAAAACv4/NK12Gcr55sI/s1600/070+%2528426x640%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3aSQMnk_q1E/Tya9M6Q16eI/AAAAAAAACv4/NK12Gcr55sI/s320/070+%2528426x640%2529.jpg" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&amp;nbsp; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; meet its demise if it called for an early election, being drowned by the water Dragon, eh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-5596545625853240950?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/5596545625853240950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=5596545625853240950&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5596545625853240950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5596545625853240950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/when-actions-betray-intention.html' title='When Actions Betray The Intention'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3aSQMnk_q1E/Tya9M6Q16eI/AAAAAAAACv4/NK12Gcr55sI/s72-c/070+%2528426x640%2529.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7128777287992813372</id><published>2012-01-29T14:39:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T14:56:18.059+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sports'/><title type='text'>Caught the Devil By the Ball</title><content type='html'>Fate, God or Devil must be bored during the Chinese New Year holidays down south at the Australian Open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watch and see if your keen power of observation detects someone wants your attention huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pjyfMCTAqKU" width="560"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saw it?No not the fantastic perfect timing reaction of the ball catcher!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note the score dude!

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's say we all decide not to give in to our conditioning and&amp;nbsp; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reason why we are all slaves to our fav mamak or caffeine cafe or cake confectionery supplier is&amp;nbsp; 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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PWSqPSDD4yg/TyOXNlWA2kI/AAAAAAAACvk/PB3K36QzaZI/s1600/sugar.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="100" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PWSqPSDD4yg/TyOXNlWA2kI/AAAAAAAACvk/PB3K36QzaZI/s200/sugar.png" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;If we complain that less sugar will lose the authenticity of&amp;nbsp; 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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So don't subsidise and see the reaction of the people if all you tell us is actually the truth of the matter huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; government who WORKS HARD to spend other people's money hah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-8561370069494608657?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/8561370069494608657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=8561370069494608657&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8561370069494608657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8561370069494608657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/sweetening-subsidy.html' title='Sweetening the Subsidy'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PWSqPSDD4yg/TyOXNlWA2kI/AAAAAAAACvk/PB3K36QzaZI/s72-c/sugar.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-5766399340250677613</id><published>2012-01-26T23:53:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-27T00:12:26.699+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law'/><title type='text'>Go On Criminalise Traffic Offenders, Why Wait?</title><content type='html'>“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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-27QEz2xX1IE/TyF7PQayr6I/AAAAAAAACu8/R-0PCpVaa7A/s1600/jpj2jpg.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-27QEz2xX1IE/TyF7PQayr6I/AAAAAAAACu8/R-0PCpVaa7A/s200/jpj2jpg.jpeg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Pix copyright from the Net &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; F&amp;amp;B and almost every service industry that use transport.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Construction sites will have abandoned projects as their loaders are jailed and those supplying materials are also in lock up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And please go after those who modify their ride posing a danger to other road drivers! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck, the whole economy will be on a standstill. And for once, no race will be blamed!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; Abram tank to swash or exterminate the irresponsible traffic offender, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Truly a 1Malaysia thought provoking warning by our Home Minister, putting people safety first and jailing traffic offenders to make our roads safer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; eh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-5766399340250677613?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/5766399340250677613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=5766399340250677613&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5766399340250677613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5766399340250677613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/go-on-criminalise-traffic-offenders-why.html' title='Go On Criminalise Traffic Offenders, Why Wait?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-27QEz2xX1IE/TyF7PQayr6I/AAAAAAAACu8/R-0PCpVaa7A/s72-c/jpj2jpg.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7220221267696544615</id><published>2012-01-23T10:19:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T10:19:28.843+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><title type='text'>Good Enough To Eat</title><content type='html'>Rice dough figurine is popular during Chinese New Year. In olden times, most of the figurines depicted warriors or mythical person even deities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!

/&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to the statement below by our Finance Minister II report in the MSMedia today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.  &amp;nbsp; "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&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has population size got to do with FDI huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are still in denial mode!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are like our opposition fellows. When things go their way they sing praises but when it doesn't they hurl curses!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-247266062348095236?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/247266062348095236/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=247266062348095236&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/247266062348095236'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/247266062348095236'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/when-numbers-make-sense.html' title='When the Numbers Make Sense'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7462280616818603559</id><published>2012-01-22T00:23:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T10:50:43.808+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics and Polluticians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><title type='text'>1Best Malaysia in a Loose Package</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; all the rest because they owe it to UMNO or BN???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given such mentality, we are the best at shioksendiri for some people at least.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modesty doesn't exist with our leaders bent on holding on to power or grabbing more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7462280616818603559?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7462280616818603559/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7462280616818603559&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7462280616818603559'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7462280616818603559'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/1best-malaysia-in-loose-package.html' title='1Best Malaysia in a Loose Package'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-9152846916264704351</id><published>2012-01-21T01:03:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T08:35:49.121+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race issues'/><title type='text'>We Are All One So Can I Have My Privileges</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or did they meet other two legged creatures and did acts that was against nature to get their pure DNA tainted?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is remarkable we Bolehland fellows could trace PURE DNA for three generations and CAN'T&amp;nbsp; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any more shioksendiri findings? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakatan close shop eh? and all bow to the ketuanan leaders huh?&lt;br /&gt;....................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;“They can be traced back to 60,000 years,” Zafarina said.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;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&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-9152846916264704351?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/9152846916264704351/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=9152846916264704351&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/9152846916264704351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/9152846916264704351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/we-are-all-one-so-can-i-have-my.html' title='We Are All One So Can I Have My Privileges'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7871708646066830493</id><published>2012-01-18T00:47:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-18T11:32:16.654+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics and Polluticians'/><title type='text'>Bomb Threat and Bomb Treat</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what threat threatens about a 'Bomb' treat reported by an&lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/ex-minister-claims-bn-bought-votes-with-cash/"&gt; online news&lt;/a&gt; being said publicly and now going viral in cyberspace?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;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”.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a blast this piece of&amp;nbsp; 'bomb treat'&amp;nbsp; incendiary being hurled at your own people! Wonder who will be victims of this 'friendly fire' bomb treat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7871708646066830493?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7871708646066830493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7871708646066830493&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7871708646066830493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7871708646066830493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/bomb-threat-and-bomb-treat.html' title='Bomb Threat and Bomb Treat'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7987561042312546292</id><published>2012-01-15T13:55:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T14:06:41.127+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Corruption'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><title type='text'>NFC is just one rot of a termite colony</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NFC is just one rot of a termite colony&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7987561042312546292?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7987561042312546292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7987561042312546292&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7987561042312546292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7987561042312546292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/nfc-is-just-one-rot-of-termite-colony.html' title='NFC is just one rot of a termite colony'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-8515515648288819170</id><published>2012-01-14T14:33:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T14:47:12.939+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Political parties'/><title type='text'>Form and Substance: Who Will You Vote For?</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJT11d2GEDo/TxEdGEFRchI/AAAAAAAACqE/j-Ql1EY6Rsg/s1600/perhimpunan-umno-2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="201" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJT11d2GEDo/TxEdGEFRchI/AAAAAAAACqE/j-Ql1EY6Rsg/s320/perhimpunan-umno-2011.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mtC4tVC1SXc/TxEdG0Yc1-I/AAAAAAAACqM/ABzhoAyYosk/s1600/umno-general-assembly-2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="189" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mtC4tVC1SXc/TxEdG0Yc1-I/AAAAAAAACqM/ABzhoAyYosk/s320/umno-general-assembly-2011.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="224" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EElf0ZXHGlM/TxEdFxN6_LI/AAAAAAAACqA/KGxM2ZXIN80/s320/najib-at-umno-ga.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Their assured future!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;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.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;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.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;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?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;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?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RXKzt5ywz3w/TxEf8VrcknI/AAAAAAAACqY/kSlK7HMS3hs/s1600/pakatan2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RXKzt5ywz3w/TxEf8VrcknI/AAAAAAAACqY/kSlK7HMS3hs/s1600/pakatan2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bBdRdLKmmAM/TxEf9dJRVmI/AAAAAAAACqg/ZVtONiFlcBs/s1600/pakatanagm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bBdRdLKmmAM/TxEf9dJRVmI/AAAAAAAACqg/ZVtONiFlcBs/s320/pakatanagm.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-73wO6cvM8RM/TxEf9xRK7lI/AAAAAAAACqo/0QzUXpISF5Y/s1600/pas.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="181" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-73wO6cvM8RM/TxEf9xRK7lI/AAAAAAAACqo/0QzUXpISF5Y/s320/pas.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Future assured with them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-8515515648288819170?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/8515515648288819170/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=8515515648288819170&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8515515648288819170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8515515648288819170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/form-vs-substance-who-will-you-vote-for.html' title='Form and Substance: Who Will You Vote For?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JJT11d2GEDo/TxEdGEFRchI/AAAAAAAACqE/j-Ql1EY6Rsg/s72-c/perhimpunan-umno-2011.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-8781185457995133855</id><published>2012-01-13T23:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T00:04:28.967+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Accountability'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Banks n Finance'/><title type='text'>The 1World's Best Investment Fund Manager?</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now our government fund managers have found the magic equities or bonds to invest in to get such stella return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-8781185457995133855?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/8781185457995133855/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=8781185457995133855&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8781185457995133855'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8781185457995133855'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/1worlds-best-investment-fund-manager.html' title='The 1World&apos;s Best Investment Fund Manager?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-6788484852591116513</id><published>2012-01-10T00:47:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-10T01:13:49.664+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pakatan Rakyat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Law'/><title type='text'>901 Finally Over?</title><content type='html'>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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The celebration and jubilation in the Pakatan camp must be an all day and night affair now that their leader has been vindicated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a nutshell,&amp;nbsp; in the quest for power and power struggle, the welfare of the people have always been set aside.

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&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest is the English translation in their website on '&lt;a href="http://uppercaise.wordpress.com/2012/01/05/everyones-laughing-at-mindef-poke-eye-dress-code-with-civets-2/"&gt;ethical clothin&lt;/a&gt;g'. 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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blame it on 'lost in translation' or Google for giving us the giggles huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But these days, we promote communication ingelish. As long as it sounds englandable, it need not be powderful taip of ingeris right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that may be a valid reason for the 901 rally to be allowed, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be warned, massive road blocks even for a legal assembly? Why roadblocks if you allow an assembly, we wonder huh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-4945041231901111686?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/4945041231901111686/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=4945041231901111686&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4945041231901111686'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4945041231901111686'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/come-901-what-may.html' title='Come 901 What May'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-1652466618040336153</id><published>2012-01-02T15:07:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-02T15:23:17.485+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pakatan Rakyat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics and Polluticians'/><title type='text'>The 'my-wan' End of Pakatan Prediction</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet many of us optimists are pessimistic about anyone doing a Nostradamus on us since the prophets last left terra ages ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stinger in the interview publication is supposedly the falling out with Pakatan and its leader specifically the PKR party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it not true PKR and Pakatan are imploding from their own infighting and doing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barisan is afraid to lose because it will end their race based policies and crumble their divide and rule policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While Pakatan PR is all about infighting so the perception these days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps it's RPK's last call to Pakatan to buck up or his prophecy will ring true?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-1652466618040336153?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/1652466618040336153/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=1652466618040336153&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1652466618040336153'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1652466618040336153'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-wan-end-of-pakatan-prediction.html' title='The &apos;my-wan&apos; End of Pakatan Prediction'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-1834115839675506259</id><published>2012-01-01T17:10:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T17:10:07.594+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><title type='text'>Happy New Year 2012!</title><content type='html'>Wishing everyone a great New Year 2012.

Even the bread we buy is being made into a racial issue? See story &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/gardenia-takes-out-ads-to-deny-crony-racist-claims"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Scene at mamak shop if the flour cronyism rumour is perpetuated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Patron: What roti canai do you have?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mamak: We have the pure UMNO, or if you prefer the Barisan National and we also serve the Pakatan roti canai!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Patron: Wow cool name?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mamak: No sir, it's named after the companies which supplied the flour, oil, gas, salt, yeast, sugar and the migrant worker&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Patron: One teh tarik please.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mamak: The kurang UMNO, Barisan Nasional or Pakatan supplied sugar and susu (milk)?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Patron: Pakatan teh tarik but kurang or better no NFC susu please&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mamak: Sorry we don't have NFC susu only the burger and beef kurma sir &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Times,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;Mamak shouting: Satu canai Pakatan dan teh tarik Pakatan tapi kurang manis gula BN.

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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be interesting to see how the Pakatan fellows will try and worm themselves out of this inhuman and shameful act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-8892790032247470170?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/8892790032247470170/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=8892790032247470170&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8892790032247470170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8892790032247470170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/pay-or-be-evicted-says-pakatan-right.html' title='Pay or be evicted says Pakatan right?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-1396248799849039901</id><published>2011-12-28T01:27:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-28T01:46:18.524+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race issues'/><title type='text'>Real Relations with Race Relations Law?</title><content type='html'>Why have we come to a state where we need a Race Relations Act (RRA)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was reported in an online blog that ...&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;.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&lt;/span&gt;.... Malaysia Today&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the NEM, which again argues Article 153 as the decisive factor in implementing it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RRA will be another farce like the Peaceful Assembly Act that latter pissing every citizen who values freedom of assembly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we treat humans as humans and accord them human rights &amp;amp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-1396248799849039901?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/1396248799849039901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=1396248799849039901&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1396248799849039901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1396248799849039901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/real-relations-with-race-relations-law.html' title='Real Relations with Race Relations Law?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-5316168240734660483</id><published>2011-12-26T22:29:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-26T23:57:29.077+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>Season of Bad Ils</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Bolehland, religion is state sponsored,&amp;nbsp; protected, propagated and also being used as a tool by politicians to stay in power or gain power - at least for the official religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; and the rest of mankind owe them support because they are&amp;nbsp; given the right and freedom to worship other Gods huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you are so&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politicians blame others for the woes of the economy. In BolehLand, politicians blame other religions for threatening the majority religion and minority ones!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's stop trying to spread bad ill will to those who do not worship your God. That goes for&amp;nbsp; Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and fill in any religion here!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Constitution needs to give you freedom to worship God, there is something really wrong with how we understand God hah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-5316168240734660483?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/5316168240734660483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=5316168240734660483&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5316168240734660483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5316168240734660483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/season-of-bad-ils.html' title='Season of Bad Ils'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-379881736152920252</id><published>2011-12-25T09:36:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-25T09:36:49.138+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><title type='text'>All I Want For Christmas is a Sensitive BolehLand</title><content type='html'>Merry Christmas Everyone. It's a day of peace, joy, love and hope. That's at least what Christians themed Christmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, it's dashing off for some relaxing walkabout and take some pixs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Merry Christmas to all then and please let the rain go away!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3HPxo7OQlv0/TvZ8roI2t2I/AAAAAAAAClo/9YM9Y8dsDBU/s1600/IMG_3008+%2528640x249%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to say it is about race is rather adopting a juvenile uneducated mentality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;'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..'&lt;/span&gt;. so Koh was quoted to have said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1Malaysia concept is reflected in the education system... it's a Christmas joke that can only come out of the Scrooge!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even among themselves, they don't consult on important issues particularly on those that relate to other non official religions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the Education people not to know the agreed&amp;nbsp; 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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So whose version do we believe in this fiasco, the nuns, church or the UMNO Ministers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's really a scandal and unforgivable for the Ministry of Education NOT TO KNOW or to consult the church on the appointment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And who is the bully here that we should shame them? Shame, shame, shame for bullying convent nuns eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, isn't that a really Merry Christmas thought that brings love, peace and joy waiting for it to happen come GE13 huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-559819865811866908?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/559819865811866908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=559819865811866908&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/559819865811866908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/559819865811866908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/bullying-convent-nuns.html' title='Bullying the Convent Nuns?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-6025096036466890410</id><published>2011-12-17T18:50:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-17T23:41:17.881+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sports'/><title type='text'>Formula Drifters Smoke Kuala Lumpur</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

bashing race, religion, people, even their own kind and religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When&amp;nbsp; things got uncow-ered, those who sought clarity are bashed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='html'>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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uK9lVcAok2A/TutE6vr9scI/AAAAAAAAChg/BUORJKKekfU/s1600/tsair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="207" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uK9lVcAok2A/TutE6vr9scI/AAAAAAAAChg/BUORJKKekfU/s320/tsair.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Sawadee &amp;amp; good service is all that matters!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our holier than thou clerics and people are heading down this gas chamber route sadly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PC Air to them is probably Pondan Crew Air and that is such a low disgusting attitude from our holier than thou moralists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we still believe our political and religious leaders are leading us to the gates of heaven, hah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-738195663809318792?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/738195663809318792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=738195663809318792&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/738195663809318792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/738195663809318792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/truly-land-of-smiles.html' title='A Truly Land of Smiles'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uK9lVcAok2A/TutE6vr9scI/AAAAAAAAChg/BUORJKKekfU/s72-c/tsair.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-2524573681440252369</id><published>2011-12-15T00:36:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-15T19:36:09.709+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><title type='text'>God Supplying the Doe</title><content type='html'>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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&amp;nbsp; providing UMNO the doe to complete their multi billion pet projects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-2524573681440252369?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/2524573681440252369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=2524573681440252369&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/2524573681440252369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/2524573681440252369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/12/god-supplying-doe.html' title='God Supplying the Doe'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-4787673640468424223</id><published>2011-12-03T18:17:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-12-04T16:43:15.835+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UMNO'/><title type='text'>Blame, Blame, Blame, Nothing Has Changed UMNO</title><content type='html'>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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme from the congress are best summed in this ABC triplicates&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ACCUSE, ACCUSE, ACCUSE&lt;br /&gt;BLAME BLAME BLAME&lt;br /&gt;CURSE, CURSE, CURSE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And our reaction can be also summed up in triplicates SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the sickening thing is when opportunities present, we are told how sick our political leaders and parties is! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder which PR agency advised them on how to behave and the strategy they took at the congress.

Of course, MCA our Chinese based ruling party blames it on the Opposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;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..." &lt;/span&gt;as reported in an online media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;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..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UMNO general assembly is round the corner. Already the&amp;nbsp; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-6808807641938700184?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/6808807641938700184/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=6808807641938700184&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6808807641938700184'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6808807641938700184'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/opposition-cause-of-poor-racial-ties.html' title='A Good Racist is Good For Racial Ties?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-8047721819932638060</id><published>2011-11-27T10:33:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-27T11:44:52.821+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Others'/><title type='text'>The Red Dot That Shines Brightly</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If a coconut cost $3 or so, why does it cost about RM4 ringgit or so in BolehLand huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So what do you think of your 'cousins' north of you?" I asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's always glad to be home to Bolehland and like in a relationship you accept the warts and beauty nevertheless hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UEZydxGI-tA/TtGvNdwhljI/AAAAAAAAChA/VoJ6QOUrS3A/s1600/s7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

See story &lt;a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/11/19/sarawak/9934551&amp;amp;sec=sarawak"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh it's the contest and nothing to do with the women, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-6286467567914262576?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/6286467567914262576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=6286467567914262576&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6286467567914262576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6286467567914262576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/sarawak-people-are-not-as-simpleton-and.html' title='Beauties With Brains'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-6194943587967912836</id><published>2011-11-20T15:32:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T17:32:42.021+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><title type='text'>So Much of Threats &amp; Defending in BolehLand</title><content type='html'>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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus, jeezh, gosh, it is certainly very very stressful these days living in BolehLand.&amp;nbsp; 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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1204941874"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="goog_1204941875"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AO1xFOd7Mlg/Tsi1dhUv06I/AAAAAAAACfc/x7JkmRZjgGY/s1600/volley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="297" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AO1xFOd7Mlg/Tsi1dhUv06I/AAAAAAAACfc/x7JkmRZjgGY/s400/volley.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Defending real or imaginary Armageddon in BolehLand?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-6194943587967912836?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/6194943587967912836/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=6194943587967912836&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6194943587967912836'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6194943587967912836'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/so-much-of-threats-defending-in.html' title='So Much of Threats &amp; Defending in BolehLand'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AO1xFOd7Mlg/Tsi1dhUv06I/AAAAAAAACfc/x7JkmRZjgGY/s72-c/volley.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-118936573593942987</id><published>2011-11-20T01:00:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T11:58:11.934+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>Bahasa Melayu, Humanitarian Initiatives, Talking Bibles and UFOs Threatening One's Faith</title><content type='html'>What has a mathematical '+' symbol, Bahasa Melayu, humanitarian activities, makan-makan,&amp;nbsp; a wellness exercise, ie. yoga, the world's most famous football club, festive celebrations, talking bibles and UFOs in common in Bolehland?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They all threaten Muslims we are told by some religious clerics. And this is largely a BolehLand issue considering we tout ourselves, the leader rather, as 1Malaysia,&amp;nbsp; a world class democracy and a Nation of Moderates, an initiator at that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Lord, another 'damaging' discovery against the Christians in BolehLand, who each day&amp;nbsp; are being accused of, or hinted to be threatening the faith of the official religion of BolehLand and its believers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Bahasa Melayu that was to be blamed, you know the Buku Injil in Bahasa Melayu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the copyright to the name Allah, which, some even claim a Bahasa Melayu copyright.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before that, the issue about crucifix, cross, Santa claus, children first holy communion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then other religions quietly converting to Islam resulting in minors forced conversion without one of the parent's consent resulting in body snatching, baby &amp;amp; children napping even incarceration. If there were no other religions you won't get the non Muslim partner fighting to get back bodies, children and what not right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then sports and red devils followed by wellness activities, yoga, even line dancing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Festive greetings or even combining are a no no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Entertainment, rock music, foreign entertainers are also culprits of weakening faith &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there is this ever bickering about some people's especially minorities dietary cuizines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humanitarian initiatives cash or kind are dangerous&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Makan-makan has serious halal to proselytizing elements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it's talking bibles! electronic bibles!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh! it must be very stressful being a non Muslim and even more being a Muslim in BolehLand! And we laugh at the Jews, Hindus, Christians and who else with their many rituals, ceremonies. Even some cultures for having so many celebrations from ancestors joss stick, paper money burning to religious deities and countless pagan rituals, hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good God - a swear again SOB, ie Sons of Believers! Why are some people so unstable, fragile minded, weak in faith, insensitive, intolerant, paranoid and plain showing their lack of cow sense? Let's hope this fellow screaming his head off about talking bibles being a new devious Christian ploy to convert Muslims has not consumed beef from a controversial corporation and developed mad cow disease in exposing this new and 'serious' threat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This accusation gives the impression there are so may rituals, rules, laws and punishment available to preserve the 'holier than thou' attitude and to vanquish the enemies, huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope it's not true it is a Christian ploy. And to those who seek to blame the Catholics which a prominent blog seem to equate Catholics as Christians, please be more specific the Christian group responsible and not condemn every Christian of conspiring to convert Muslims in BolehLand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey even among the Muslims, there are some banned in BolehLand! So it is unfair to single out the case of one is the same as the whole and vice versa please. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reactions to the talking bible have been fast and furious from even among the Muslims. One wonder if such exposure has a political agenda to it than purely to save the souls of the faithful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Muslims keep quiet to such accusations, the silence will only be used as evidence by some clerics as a stamp of support for whatever accusations they hurl against other religions and the Christians especially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we want to argue about using electronic gizmos in religion, we can fb and tweet about it till the cows come home, we will never be able to accuse anyone of using any of the medium to weaken the faith of any believer including the Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps this Hasan Ali fellow is so weak willed, he cannot lift his hand to switch off the radio, tv, computer or even electronic Bible to not listen to whatever is emitting from such devices, no? Or he can't stop himself reaching for his purse or credit card to buy the electronic gizmos for his convenience and pleasure!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a religion were billions have been spent and protected by a piece of paper and a whole enforcement force of the defence corp, the faith of the believers are still shallow, weak, directionless, mindless and unconvincing to cause the faithful to stray by listening to electronic gizmos or trolling cyberspace or passing by a religious building, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why this scare warning and tactic? Or, are the mandatory religious classes not catching up with the igizmos technology that weakens the faithful with every release, upgrade or apps released that some defenders of the faith have to go viral or hold a press conference to use it as an alert service to warn the Muslims or threaten the other religions huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone has his/her share of stories of how someone tries to evangelise him/her. As a teacher before, many wanted me to convert so I could marry them but told them four is insufficient hah! Even Christians wallop the Virgin Mary and the Pope and Rosary and what have you to shaken my faith. Having read philosophy and&amp;nbsp; the major holy texts would be considered sacrileges to some religion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living in a neighbourhood where the call to prayer is heard every day, couch channel surfing to local broadcasts that have religious broadcast ever so often, working among a largely official religion environment, receiving racist remarks from lecturers in university and many more such holy and religious encounters should have made me convert ages ago!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same too for Muslim friends in missionary schools and those who went overseas for their education, they would have faced similar situations above. But they remained who they are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a look at our politicians. Even with calls by the people to eliminate corruption, nepotism, favourtism and what not, our political leaders seemed unmoved!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should have a law against those who insult any person of any faith that they are weak in their faith and easily swayed in the belief by third party, innate objects and what have you! Is Hasan talking on behalf to a large group of very weak willed Muslims?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than try and accuse other religions, perhaps, he should examine the millions of taxpayers money being used for the official religion. Remember in school, the ustaz will cane my Muslim classmates who missed their Friday prayers or didn't see them pray during the designated time. So rather than accusing other religions, you should tighten the rule and institute more punitive punishment, enforce hudud on Muslims to prevent them from straying or weaken in their faith too, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non Muslims and we hope a majority of Muslims are really sick of these kind of paranoid thinking and behaviour of these insecure religious people. Even at work now and then, some conversations are spoken ever loudly of what the ustaz has warned about haram activities to weaken the faith of the umat! Isn't it annoying to us Christians and others too to try and accuse us of being the people who are constantly or like we have all the media, money, man power and institutions to convert others! Hello we don't have such privileges or rights, so buzz off trying to insinuate we are weakening anyone's faith!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Picking on the Christians only vindicate them that God is so powerful he works in mysterious ways. And that surely there are those who will jump at this statement and start to scream like some headless chicken or zealous jihadist out to chop off people's head to protect his God. I think God doesn't need any homo sapiens to protect Him from being converted to another God, helloooo! Oh, headless chickens can't scream, they are dead. People inflicted by self made dysfunctional behaviour goes otak tak center ever so often, especially a few men in cloth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope UFOs are not detected during Hasan's life time, else he will accuse the UFOs of shaking his belief that God only created his race and him to deserve to be given special treatment and that everyone and everything must bow down and focus on him and worship his belief and his God alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's rather tiring to hear we are first, this is our right, we hold the truth, we deserve this and that over others! If other non Muslims were to say something similar along what Hasan Ali has said, we all know what befalls these people. So stop being so self righteous and bigot headed please. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many earthly things to worry and many are struggling to even put food on the table to survive. And we have people who have time to fight imaginary enemies of God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To our dear Hasan, if you want to insult us, please be a bit more imaginative. Channel your anger and fear, weak will and insecurity to your own braders and systers and find out why they are in such a fragile state to reach out and seek the Truth elsewhere - than do this jihad stunt on others can? You sound like a broken record or the talking ebook, e holy book that just repeat what it does when the battery is there and you reach out to switch it on!&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You always have the option to switch off.&amp;nbsp; Likewise,&amp;nbsp; I will now switch off to Hasan's ranting about Christian or non Muslim conspiracies and switch on my talking Bible to find peace with God, yah?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;A Prayer to any UFO out there &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;ET go home&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Don't ever land in BolehLand&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;ET stay home&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Don't ever stray into BolehLand&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;For a Hasan you will face&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;And accuse you of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Weakening and converting his faith&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-118936573593942987?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/118936573593942987/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=118936573593942987&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/118936573593942987'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/118936573593942987'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/bahasa-melayu-humanitarian-initiatives.html' title='Bahasa Melayu, Humanitarian Initiatives, Talking Bibles and UFOs Threatening One&apos;s Faith'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7776563036308990299</id><published>2011-11-19T21:19:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-20T12:16:37.321+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Business'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics and Polluticians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Accountability'/><title type='text'>Making Cowsense From the Load of Bull$h*% Logic</title><content type='html'>This NFC issue hasn't been resolved since the AG pointed out the 'mess' in this cattle business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has opened the floodgates of controversies and spawned a series of 'gate' scandals connected to this cow or cattle issue. Taking a wrought of iron from the scandal in the US of A that created the mother of all 'gate', Watergate, BolehLand has created its own lot of 'gates' affair. Even fence sitters are getting on the saddle and debating the explanations from various quarters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The feeding frenzy from the National Feedlot Corporation or NFC has kicked up so much dust and dirt like cows do in the field, that the whole cow business is being called Cowgate, Condogate, Feedlotgate, BNgate, Sharizatgate, Ibrahimgate, Moohidingate, Najibgate and more 'gate-ish' labels will mushroom depending on what comes out from the mouth of the various parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each day, accusations of impropriety, alleged corruption, conflict of interest and at times rather bizarre explanations are giving rise to rather comical and colourful potshots the public is making out of all that has been revealed and said thus far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing about this cattle talk is perhaps the record number of media conferences held. Perhaps, BolehLand has never witnessed that many press conferences within a week or so over one issue.Every one who has a hand in the udder so to speak, is holding a press conference to counter accusations and supposedly logical explanations. But to the public, most times they are a whole load of bull$h*% logical explanations. Even dung beetle is of more worth than the cow-dung material that are being offloaded to the public at these media conference!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue has again demonstrate the government being the government who is trying to pull wool over the public's eyes that everything it does is in order and done for the good of the nation. Some of the explanations are rather difficult to swallow and needs more than seven stomach for us to digest the logic behind some of the so called business decisions made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, there seem a huge silence on the loudest thought at the back of the mind of the people. i.e. the issue of conflict of interest and impropriety in the first place&amp;nbsp; even at the start of the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The buying of two expensive luxury condos at One Menerung Bangsar, a coincident?, is everyone's dream to be able to afford luxuries. What's even more spectacular is the&amp;nbsp; astronomical rental returns, monthly mind you, that surely puts the burj al arab to shame really. The public might be able to swallow the explanation if the money was used to buy property, ie expanding the acreage to rear cattle, than invest in this burj al kerbau cowdominium real estate, no? Will these two luxury real estate be the nerve centre for a comeback in GE13?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shouldn't you use the money to buy land for cattle breeding than luxury penthomes for a select breed of rich to stay or can afford the rental huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The revelation of the SOP to increase beef production with the aim to reduce the price of beef, i.e you buy the stock from Australia, then you feed your stock, and then you slaughter them, make us wonder if it's cheaper to just import direct than to spend millions to put the beef into the market - and a shortfall from the intended target.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No wonder the public is making mincemeat from this cattle breeding operation! What kind of stock was bought that needed it to be fed first? Of course if they bought calves, you'd need to feed them till they are of commercial value. But isn't it cheaper to just import the meat? Unless the NFC is meant to create jobs but we are not told how many jobs were created and more importantly how much the workers are paid. Probably not much if you need the money to invest in cowdominium, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The explanation, “There are still many projects under the NFC that are yet to be carried out.&lt;br /&gt;“As such, while waiting for their implementation, I figured the grant money that was yet to be used should be invested so we can generate profits,,," may be a smart answer to explain the cowdominium. But the question is why are there many projects yet to be carried out? No money, no expertise, no cow sense how to do them? What are the projects waiting for implementation? Why are they stalled?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why was money given out even if the projects are not in the pipeline or related to the business? Why was so much money loaned to such an extend the excess used for real property investment? Don't the financiers understand or know how to read the business plan before dispensing the RIGHT amount? Gosh, no wonder there is cost overrun and even astronomical amount like the MRT into the billions over! No marks for answering why so many cost overrun is happening! And stupidity has nothing to do with learning Maths or Science in any language for that matter right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we are not told the age of the cattle bought from overseas that needed feeding before being slaughtered, we can assume they are calves. If they are mature cattle, we would be interested to know what they feed them. Probably since it's from down under, kosher fodder perhaps so they can be halal-fied for local consumption?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder if they slaughtered all the cows and and the bulls and then have to start all over again the next season and get more soft loan to go about the cattle rearing business, hah! Holy cow, no wonder it's a cash cow SOP!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This episode also brings out the familiar nature of BolehLand folks. We are all experts cattle breeders, real estate and property agents, even making ourselves better than the anti corruption fellows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are those who wished they were the enforcement officers, to rope all those involved and hole them up on the ninth floor. Rounding the crooks will surely kill all the speculation once and for all right? It will also show that the government for once is acting &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;ean &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;gainst &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;ow &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;onmen than being accused of passing the buck this time to others or tossing evidence out of the window, hah! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the kopi boi 'tak nak and nak' back office affair, we all become CSI and forensic experts listening from the experts' evidence given at the trial. The death of a witness also saw us become CSI forensic experts again. So too the tragic death of the young kid shot while attempting to drive home being pursued by the law. Now we are also expert cattle hand and property counsellors in this latest controversial project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gose to show we are a skeptical lot, aren't we? The politicians must be wondering why we can't be the simpleton they want us to be and to shut up and stand by the corner and swallow anything thrown to us right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then, there is a crowd of such simpletons who despite the contrary that sociologists want us to believe, the rural fellows are being moulded to be just that - believe the gospel truth of politicians, leaders and political parties than their holy book or conscience!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reaction and explanations also reveal that 'sorry seems the hardest word' by our government and politicians. Perhaps they think the millions on this cattle business is chicken feed considering that in the AG report, billions have been overspent on even less consumable items! Like luxury binoculars, display racks, even submersibles and what about sewing machines for communities that don't receive electricity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least the NFC fellows can argue we are putting food, beef that is on the table - though they forget to mention if the beef was much cheaper, tastier and easily accessible after the setting up of the NFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest explanation of the rebate is also baffling. If you really get so much back as rebate, then there should not be a property glut for luxury property! Every GLC should stop doing what they are supposed to do and invest in real property right? And if NFC is so good getting fantastic high returns for property, they should be in the REIT business too! Wonder if our Pavillion REIT IPO fellows consulted our NFC to ensure that their share price will be even higher than financial institutions' share prices when it get listed! But we know how miserly REIT shares are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NFC is really multi talented and we should all be proud than condemn it right? From having no experience or knowledge in cattle rearing, they got the money. And being cattle hand, and having no experience or knowledge in real estate investment, they dabbled in real estate and make a killing out of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course we have lots of cow sense to guess that they would have used consultants right? So we need to know who their consultants are or were when they started the meat thing building cow sheds to owning luxurious cowdominiums huh??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guess these NFC fellows have very short learning curve and able to know how to make it rich even in a short span or if&amp;nbsp; targets fall short you can still shout about you achieved success and exceeded the KPIs! Seems like this is what they achieved and for that, we must pad the back of the government for creating such high impact industry that makes us a contender in the cattle business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Latin American, North American, Eurozone, Japan and down under cattle breeders must really be up on their saddle so to speak. You don't want to be caught off guard and getting stampede by BolehLand overtaking you as a world class cattle producing nation, with a couple of hundred luxury items as loose change to their enormous wealth and meat too they delivered for the BN government and reduce hunger for beef in BolehLand and the world, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What lies ahead, pun intended, in our NFC-gate affair and how will they and the government reduce the 'rage' the public is feeling with this 'need to know' basis revelation. We wonder if the cowdominium issue was not exposed, if NFC would even mention it at all. Where is the transparency and accountability? Why is information given in countless media conference? Why can't everything be revealed so that we can focus on other things too. Why is the information being provided like the case of 'moo moo here, moo moo there' than plainly telling us 'here is the beef?!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NFC is just another example of how messy things in areas of accountability, transparency and plain business sense for businesses where taxpayers money are being used and obtained so easily!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It shows clearly the change promised had hardly changed. Is the government living up to the proverb 'you can bring the cow to the water, but you cannot force it to drink', huh? We can demand, expect and threaten the government to change or lose the vote like bringing the cow to the water. But if the government refuses to change and be stubborn and cow headed about it, we cannot force it to change at all, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope all those involved don't step on more cow dung by giving the public a whole load of&amp;nbsp; bull$h*% and provide more meat to their explanations to close the gate on this controversy. Can or not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we can move on to the horses, the satellites, binoculars, sewing machine and what not, right? And kudos to Pakatan for helping the AG to right the wrongs and excesses of the government trying to dismiss the AG's report every year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So folks, that is why we need a strong opposition of politicians, doesn't matter what party, who are bull headed in their pursuit of the truth! So either change or ensure a one seat majority to the ruling government so that the government of the day cannot act like a sheriff bushwhacking the people with their horse talk and bull$h*%&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7776563036308990299?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7776563036308990299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7776563036308990299&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7776563036308990299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7776563036308990299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/making-cowsense-from-load-of-bullh.html' title='Making Cowsense From the Load of Bull$h*% Logic'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-4027605931464153612</id><published>2011-11-13T14:32:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-13T19:46:26.162+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><title type='text'>The Major Wrongs of the Majority Minority</title><content type='html'>These days we are often reminded that majority rules, the will of the majority good is better or if not the best alternative to how society should be as dictated by the majority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is bordering on repeating history, yes, the history that is not taught in BolehLand schools, is when the majority is seen deciding who gets freedom, who is considered anti social, antigovernment, anti religious, anti moral, anti human and all the anithesis to what the majority dictates!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when some leaders think democracy is a Great Satan scheme that stifles one's religious duties to carry out God's edicts where the issue of human rights is virtually non existence, the argument, if it is found in the holy book or what we interpreted as God's edicts, is life is either black or white.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when you paint life or actions as either black or white, you are adopting a Bush-whack-ism philosopy - if you are not with us, you are against us. Woe to those against us because they will incur the wrath of Mother of all Shock and Awe meted by religious clerics, right wing groups, and the security apparatus who follow mindless order of supremacist leaders and even theocratics to eliminate any opposition to the majority rule!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the rule of the majority doesn't necessarily mean that a majority class or race or political belief can impose absolute power and decision on the minority, In despotic Arab states, the most notable Syria, Saudi Arabia and those African tribal warlords, the minority groups rule over the majority. Can we say that these minority rules who rule by the sword so to speak are doing so by the will of the majority? Their only majority is in being able to give arms to their minority group, putting them in charge of the army and security apparatus, and adopt an ala Maoist philosophy of 'power lies in the one with his finger on the trigger!' not those who champion democracy, human rights and what not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Communist China today is a stark example of how the rule of brutal force is supreme over the land. You wallop your opponents, jail them and character assassinate them using your MSMedia apparatures. Hmm doesn't it sound like what's happening in BolehLand too huh&amp;gt;\?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout history, the majority has a greater share of all the evils that they have done towards even their own majority, what not the minority. The Catholic Church and other religious empires, all majority rule have committed the most murders and foul crimes against humanity (which is becoming a dirty word in BolehLand these days). Red China's majority political power have sought to victimise the minority races, those not of Sino descent, Tibetans a clear example. Even in ancient China, warlords of various ethnic groups sought to exterminate their rival's family lineage just to ensure that Tien bless their ruler-ship over the Middle Kingdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, the&amp;nbsp; majority argument is surfacing even more prominently. When the ruling government wants to enforce its policies, rule and power, they will lay claim to the majority vote they got and claim to represent the different races (which they sought to divide and rule) because of the majority vote. Ironically, they will use the race card to whack the other minorities in enforcing policies, this time using the majority rule to discriminate one race from another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is now a growing visibility and use of religious majority to decide the type of society this Tanah Melayu should take on, what system of law will be precedent and lately how society should behave according to the religious majority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minorities are seen as hindrance to their kingdom of God on earth, the minorities are considered pagans and infidels and their rights and freedom are dictated by the majority religion. The case of persecution of those who are considered indulging in sinful acts against nature are considered more evil sinners and have committed the most fouls sins worthy of being intimidated, prosecuted, victimised, incarcerated. And, if they have their way, the Nazi solution may be the final solution to rid their Tanah Melayu of the 'scums of the earth' as these minority are slowly being singled out for victimisation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we are supposedly heading towards a developed nation by 2020? BolehLand folks now think, the developed nation state may be the renaissance of some Calip&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;HATE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Dynasty. In BolehLand seeing that the majority race is accepting anyone to make the votes numbers, it may be a new Calipmamak Dynasty of sorts, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why have we come to this state where 'HATE' is the way of BolehLand these days? Who is to be blamed? The majority who gave the minority political and religious leaders to issue statements, warnings, criminal and religious actions against the minority eg, Seksualiti Merdeka or peaceful gatherings or human rights movement? Or, the minority government and religious leaders who self appoint themselves to harasses and intimidate the minority on pretext of having majority support huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is BolehLand turning back the clock of history and relishing the success of Nazism in coming up with final solutions to rid their land of unholy elements to purity their Motherland? Hitler was doing such persecution on the quiet in the beginning. His oratory skill and his PR machinery, plus building up a large party membership, together with the security apparatus of the land 'brainwashed' the majority into looking for scapegoats and all those who are impure who tarnished the purity of the Germanic race!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bolsheviks and Uncle Kim of North Korea were second in line using a combination of Fascism, Nazism and Communism to impose the will of the majority over their own majority race as well as minorities. The leaders of the French Revolution succumbed to the majority who chopped of their heads after the leaders chopped off many of their opponents and the ordinary folks too. In modern history, the Arab Spring is an example where the will of the silent majority became a powerful voice and force when leaders under the pretext of using the will of the majority suppress their own people claiming they are doing it to ensure peace, unity and development!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already in Syria, their own people, those shooting at their own people are questioning their moral conscience of pulling the trigger at their own people who are seeking to express their voice and enjoy 'freedom' not according to what the political power or rather the Assad family dictates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, seeing how things have been lately, are we using the argument of the majority to justify how the minority should and can be treated? Even those who show empathy or want to champion the rights of the minority and marginalised are being labelled slowly as 'enemies of the state, religion' and what have you. Imagine those who are singled out as immoral. Are we encouraging the rise of ghettos and enclaves, just like the Jews, gypsies and other undesirable humans and gays included during Hitler's time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An article in Sunday Star today 'Fleeing in the name of religion' reports the kind of religious intimidation the minorities in Muslim regimes faced and the irony is they are seeking freedom in the Great Satan nation that these Muslim nations label US of A. Will our majority religious leaders of BolehLand cheer the actions taken by the majority religion in these Muslim countries and praise them for carrying out God's will against the infidel and pagan minorities?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment our government begin to round up the 'scums of the earth' on the pretext they, the leaders both political and holy are the normal beings and on order of God, it confirms the kind of state we are heading towards. Will they put a mark on these minorities so that they will have their final victory and earn great heavenly holy points and a higher chair in heaven when they meet their Maker?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Why all this intimidation, threats, just start rounding us up and see what happens," one member of the LBGT said in frustration. "One day they may even take away our right to vote and our vote don't count because we are not normal to them!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes indeed, what is stopping them from persecuting and prosecuting? After all, these leaders have always been preaching via the MSMedia and their political parties that the majority religion has already label which religion is accepted, which is rightful and the right to condemn and punish anyone, especially minorities who question the right religion or live a life contrary to God's teaching! The will of the majority gives them this right, and they don't see anything wrong in trampling the 'rights' of others. In fact, these leaders don't even think these minorities deserve any rights, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you believe you are right and God's command is more important, should you bother about the world's opinion, FDI or fear any international meddling into our affair? After all, we are very proud we are no 18 spot in ease of doing business and we are the world's leader in advocating and promoting the Global Movement of the Moderates. And with the cool Brit PR team, prosecuting and persecuting the minorities should not even raise an eyebrow of the western nations, right? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already there is warning that 'if you are not one of them, you have no right to question what they say or do!' And if you are one of them and you dare to question what they say or do, God help you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those accused of corruption, money politics and even allegedly unprincipled cow rearing business are all given the right to defend themselves. You have even the executive and legislative arm and the public perception even the third arm of government providing them defence to prove their innocence!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we being told that corruption and what not are majority actions deemed acceptable and less evil and sinful than the LBGT, drug addicts, mat rempits and those human rights activists huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kind of philosophy that is being taught and practised in BolehLand is poignantly mentioned &lt;a href="http://malaysia-today.net/mtcolumns/no-holds-barred/44888-philosophy-as-taught-by-universiti-teknologi-mara-uitm"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the majority or their will is always correct and they can do no wrong? If the majority still thinks they are right, have the power and God on their side, dictated by these minority leaders, it is the first major 'Wrong' of the many wrongs of these majority minority, no? Actually it is these small minority group of political and religious leaders using the majority argument&amp;nbsp; to sanction the kind of threats, intimidation, attitude and actions against any group, majority or minority who threaten their 'political survival, no?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What society are we becoming when minorities are told to fend for themselves and their existence is at the will and behest of the majority being ruled by a group of minority political and religious leaders huh? Hail Majority huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So start sending out the moral squads, the uniformed guys and start hurling up the LBGTs. The next action against mat rempits, drug addicts, those who did not pay their road summons, other religions suspected of proselytising, those against the National Education and Language Policy, those who break fatwas including poco poco, coloured hair, smoking, yoga, using Allah in their worship, organising prayer meetings in neighbourhood without permit, bloggers, social network communities who post politically incorrect opinions or even questions, those who malign the good family names of leaders given funding for businesses, and your list of haram and anti majority or will of the people action here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phew, the list seem endless. Do we have enough Kamuntings to hold them? Or how many parents will turn their sons or daughters who has same same preference or suspect of having and vice versa? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If noone wants to start taking actions that existing law and the will of the majority religion or voters give them, why are all these ugly HATE surfacing. Why all talk and no action? Actually there is no need to pass new religious laws to criminalise the LBGTs. Just pass a new civil law that will criminalise anyone who does not report or sack those who are LBGT orientation. Take away the licence of businesses found to be employing or harbouring LBGTs. Like they supposedly have for those who employ illegal immigrants. That way, your God and religion won't be ridiculed right? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's keeping Malaysia and the religious right and right wing NGOs from holding demonstrations to rid BolehLand of fanatics, devils, pagan, homosexuals, deviants, peverts, mat rempits, drug addicts, baby dumping, illicit sex,&amp;nbsp; those who display behaviour that are not normal, and so on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it the fear of the will of the minority that is stopping them or the fear of backlash from the majority huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us not tremble because the minority few who use the majority argument, voters, God or who else, to intimidate and harasses anyone and everyone else. Why are we allowing these majority minority to behave like Neo Nazis and play Gods huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two things that have caused man to commit mass murder towards each other. Religion and politics, the religious leaders and political groups. The clever plot of man is they use God's Name and the Majority argument to justify their killings. How cool right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still think our politicians will save us from persecution or religion is going to save us from hell huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh if world leaders are reading blogs in BolehLand including this blog, which will never happen, we wonder how you feel if you are invited and support this Global Movement of the Moderates that 1Malaysia is advocating given what the BN government and religious bodies are threatening towards minorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So before 1Malaysia launches the Global Movement of the Moderates Foundation formally&amp;nbsp; in Kuala Lumpur in January next year will there be a rush to cleanse BolehLand of minorities that is tarnishing the purity of Tanah Melayu? There isn't much time as it's less than two months the world will praise 1Malaysia for this great Global Movement of the Moderates Foundation right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-4027605931464153612?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/4027605931464153612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=4027605931464153612&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4027605931464153612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4027605931464153612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/major-wrongs-of-majority-minortiy.html' title='The Major Wrongs of the Majority Minority'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-1670627156198626690</id><published>2011-11-12T11:41:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-12T13:53:32.259+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Entertainment'/><title type='text'>Leave My Family Alone Too!</title><content type='html'>Another episode of pleading to leave family members alone is related to the case of&amp;nbsp; 'overstating his qualifications as a judge of MasterChef Malaysia', an Astro local production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the father, the famous Chef Wan has admonished his son Chef Riz for cooking up, pun intended, and adding a bit too much 'ingredients' in the CV, all seems not forgiven at least to somme members of the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though the dad has forgiven the son, which most dad do, and to remind the public that everyone makes a mistake, lying that is, the critics are asking that CR does the right thing to withdraw as a judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in the MSMedia CW has hit out at critics &lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;who asked that the young Masterchef Malaysia judge be removed from the jury of the kitchen reality show. Questioning their right to curse and demand that Mohd Nadzri Redzuawan be punished harshly, the celebrity chef said Astro Ria, which airs the programme, had already accepted an apology from his son...source The Star, 12 Nov 2011.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes indeed, we all lie, some can lie in the public with no compunction, some lie because they feel it is what their job gives them this right, this privilege is reserved for those who call themselves politicians. Some lie to their loved ones to enjoy some off line indiscretions or these days online the web. Some lie in their CV to get a job, promotion and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not so much the slick talker that is able to cook up a believable story to turn a make belief into the truth of the matter. It is when the lie is associated to sources, and credible sources at that, that makes the lie carry a heavy guilt verdict and the harshest of penalty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this case, hello, if you want use celebrity persons to pad your CV, make sure they are not like big time international celebrity in the likes of&amp;nbsp; chefs Mario Batali and Eric Ripert, from the famed New York's Italian restaurant &lt;i&gt;Babbo&lt;/i&gt; and French restaurant &lt;i&gt;Le Bernadin.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you want to impress, you won't mention famous jaguh kampung chefs can you in the likes of mak minah from some warong kampung keladi or in mambang diawan can you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The public don't really care if you lie to your other half or when the person(s) involved are nobody or in the company among nobodies who are told the lie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But hello you are before a national tv audience and with many fans watching TLC and the number of food and cuizine shows on Astro, more than even the entertainment or sports channels, you must not think the BolehLand makcik, pakcik and missus sitting in front of the idiot LED and plasma idiot box are all idiot fast food McD consumers who don't know who's who dude?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, I pay so much for Astro and it has more food channels than the other channels. Makes one think BolehLand fellows love good food and heading to become ObeseLand, which was reported sometime back we are already there. Or, we love food so much we need to become experts to be able to engage with the chef to really make our dining worth it and the price we pay for it too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Astro has forgiven him and it is for the conscience of CR to withdraw or not. The judges in this program are the viewers not those who are judging the contestants. If noone wants to tune it the programme rating will plummet and the programme will be axed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it with BolehLand fellows who like to shioksendiri, overstate, under declare and want to be rub shoulder with Who's Who or Whom or Was Who and Would be Who? If you are good, the rich and famous will draw to you like bees to nectar! Is it some feudal culture we inherit that you are somebody if you drag along or rather need a celebrity to confirm you have 'isi'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CR is already famous in more than how he cooks his meal or show off his hunk of pecs and what not! There was absolutely no need to overstate his credentials to make the pudding taste better by making it look more pudding-ish, huh? The prudish act has earned the public's brickbat including a bat from the dad!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only CR can decide if he is brave and strong enough to sit as judged even though the public's judgement on him may be rather unforgiving. But then, one needs to weigh one's own credibility and courage to follow through one's decision versus the common good or the credibility of the programme? Wonder if he faces this sacrifice for the greater good dilemma with regard to the show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps he can take the cue from the Brett Ratner fellow who stepped down as producer of the Oscars and other celebrity including humbled politicians in UK who stepped down, withdraw and even resigned for their 'moral failure.' They too showed remorse like CR but the difference it, they decided to not taint the cause they represent etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So rather than CW, trying to use the moral suasion argument and seek forgiveness, there is a difference. When you hold a dignified and public post or position, you do owe it to your contestants, who gets judged and berated by you and the audience who were sold on the idea of genuineness, sportmanships, pursuit of excellence and noble principles the show or cause is about, you do owe the public some form of respect too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we all lie, but ultimately the individual's choice must be made in relation to a bigger picture. It is really immature to use the 'others also do it and get away' argument to argue one's case for standing one's ground.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we have leaders embroiled in worst indiscretions and actions more evil than a CV really. Hey, one Minister even did a worse lying on his Doctorate. Those 'devils' we think are leaders are also admonishing us and preaching us about morality and what not. What's ironical, the very public who is asking for CR to do the morale thing to withdraw, may be the ones who keep voting the 'devils' for the past five decades!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we should let those 'devils', opps leaders fight their own battle and it is not a good way of trying to justify you small 'moral failure' by dragging in these 'devils, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So considering we have supported and allowed, even treated these 'devils' as gods, compared to CW, his is considered 'chicken feed' right? Why are we overtly harsh on CW then?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or is it because the public is really fed up that this is how BolehLand society worms its way out from a public exposure and get away with it huh? You be the judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, right now, CR is fighting his own battle at least in his own conscience. But he has already won over his mistakes and remain on the show as Astro is giving him another change. Wonder if it may affect his judgement in not being too 'Simon' like towards the contestants and give them another change?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So CW and CR and Astro have all settled the matter. So&amp;nbsp; shall we say, "Let the show go on and What's Cooking folks, okay?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for CW appeal to" Leave My Family Alone", can we? Should CW also stop talking to the&amp;nbsp; MSMedia or tweet or FB about it. If you can't stop cooking up a storm in these channels, you are only crucifying yourself dear! The adage, 'the less said the better' right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wonder what the MSMedia agenda is in the kind and even type of reporting they publish with those regarding family members. The one connected with a kid didn't seem to get the MSMedia sympathy, while the family issue related to the cow penthouses seemed lukewarm and this father-son rebuke they seem to want to make a meal out of it, why, why, why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or are we now seeing that sons now make better fodder for MSMedia and opponents than the ole man huh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-1670627156198626690?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/1670627156198626690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=1670627156198626690&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1670627156198626690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1670627156198626690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/leave-my-family-alone-too.html' title='Leave My Family Alone Too!'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-612272713775086331</id><published>2011-11-11T21:04:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T22:01:04.351+08:00</updated><title type='text'>New Family Condo Expensive Cattle Penthouses?</title><content type='html'>This cattle, i.e. cow business is getting out of hand and borders on an outbreak of mad cow disease reading the defence and concrete facts, pun intended, put forth by those involved in the National Feedlot Corporation or NFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since it's sited in the nine states state where a certain Oxford graduate has a political stake there, it is not surprising this politician is ahead of the herd, like the lead bull, making charges at those who sniffed a stench in this beef deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were told it was connected to a Madam Welfare family but the ones coming to its defence seem like they are the directors or CEO or head of the herd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With such defence being given to NFC, it confirms the fact that it is a BN project and they are all now forming a herd mentality to come to the defence of the NFC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the NFC's management are not speaking out but letting the financiers and other beef consumers to fight on their behalf, does it imply that the management are not capable of running the business and defending what they did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With third party spokesperson, are we assuming that the NFC has appointed official spokesperson to ward off the attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The manner in which these spokesperson are speaking on behalf of the management and each day they unveil new information about funding and investment deals seem to suggest that the opposition is giving these cattle breeders a good branding from the grilling. Some of their so called facts are kinda hard to chew on and swallow, when drips and drabs of information are released only when questions are raised?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most surprising so far is using the access fund to buy expensive condos for investments?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does it mean NFC has paid up all the soft loans taken? Are they in the business of property investment? Is it in the charter? Who gave permission? Are they collecting the rent to pay for the loan? Are the condos for very special cows to stay? Why not use the access fund to sponsor other cattle breeders or expand the&amp;nbsp; beef industry? Or, do they want to create a cartel and monopolise the beef trade?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The management made a decision that the best return on investment would have been from real estate.” said this politician who is making himself some self appointed spokesperson, CEO, which at this stage, is mere speculation as we don't know what role&amp;nbsp; or connection with NFC he has - Board Member, Trustee, PR agency, spokesperson, investor, supplier, exporter, importer, real property agent?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or is he like the Liz &amp;amp; the late MJ type of bondship, where the Madam Welfare is the Liz and he the MJ role huh? Come to think of it it was speculated the late MJ had a baboon, no? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This property investment truly reflects NFC=New Family Condo for their leisure and pleasure staying there or selling it and making a profit. Condos are often referred to chicken coops and in this case they are buying expensive cattle penthouses?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What other investment deals will be next? They has a stake in Golden Arches to supply to McD or the BK? Or maybe investment in Swiss accounts or large scale pastures in Argentina or maybe India? Since the latter has vast cattle in the land? Or rearing special breeds to sell to Spain for the matador?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or invest in unit trusts or some financial instruments? Whatever the so called access funds, shouldn't they be returned or offset the loan? Or use it to expand the cattle to increase output to twice the target they set? It really shows the lack of business entrepreneurship these people have, only puas hati than expand their business? Shows real lack of basic cow sense business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wonder if the AG has not dared to report it and Pakatan pursued the matter or the brave person exposing the condo deals, these NFC fellows would have been well fed with loads of richness?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if the claim is the beef are sold in the supermarkets, why wasn't some money was spent on advertising and promoting the brand? Who the heck knows if the beef is a proud BolehLand product if you don't advertise! And who the heck knows NFC if such enterprise seems to be shrouded in mystery? Where is the transparency, where is the pride that they always put up 'Satu Lagi Projek Barisan Nasional'? Why was there no publicity? Or is it that the project is not cool enough huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shouldn't a responsible corporation be forthright and transparent? How can NFC claim to want to be the leader in the cattle industry when the cow's moo is louder than their voices they put out this far since the issue was raised?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why the whimper? Why don't they come out charging and bear all? The manner they are releasing information and by third parties isn't making their defence credible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will the BN fellows slap an OSA label on this NFC and close the matter to this beef issue? After all, they consider it a project of national interest and isn't there a law to lock up those who threaten national interest?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that the public won't be feed with gearbox responses by those surrounding this NFC. Like the gearbox dish it does not appeal to many and many can't stomach consuming the exotic cow ingredients in this dish hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope the public won't be trampled upon by more of the rather bull$#%&amp;amp; facts being extruded from the 'spokesperson' mouthpiece! The more contradictions surrounding this NFC, the more the public is going to grill especially the spokesperson and turn the whole episode into minced beef, patties, hamburgers or steak or beef satay or rendang!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the BN and the family members come out clean than load us with some wild wild west bull story with NTK responses, ie.

Which is odd if you can't find a partner who can remember the wedding date, that the marriage or other half isn't special huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And a bank launched a new credit card it seemed at precisely 11.11 am on 11.11.11 a new Manchester United Card was launched and of course featured that fellow in the No 11 jersey!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the China apek controlled The Star headline read "11 reasons for not having polls this year" with reason no 11 being "11. The 11th reason is of course that today is already Nov 11 and the number 11 is supposed to be Najib's favourite number."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The funny No 5 reason is both Najib and his deputy have confirmed that they are going for holidays in December. It is not a funny because it may involve taxpayers money no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Star devoted probably 100 trees or 10 tons of recycled paper on stories about the No 11. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All these boils down to a stupid-titous people or silly-titious we are. You have those who will not hesitate to quote the holy book to lock you up or eliminate queers but you see them wearing golf ball size cincin&amp;nbsp; greenish or brownish colour batu mata whatever they call it and rubbing it now and then for good luck!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a Koran swearing leader, isn't odd that you have a lucky number. Isn't the element of luck proscribed in the holy book.Perhaps God may have shown His displeasure the last time a leader held a general election on his supposedly 'lucky day!'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dad, God Bless his soul, do believe in luck but was more a realist. Whenever it was exam time for us, he'd wishes us not the usual 'Best of&amp;nbsp; Luck in your exams' but rather 'Do your worse and hope for the best' Because our worse was a high benchmark! The hope for the best is more that your classmates does badly than you! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And from Malacca it was reported 11 women were cheated of RM11,000 by two female con artists. Seems, those con gals used a bead adorned with 11 different garments said to have the power to hypnotise their victim! If you believe in hypnotism, it works because many a friend have reported waking up not realising being duped of a con scheme. And these fellows are intelligent people!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of Malacca, the recent report of the frequent breakdown of their LRT seemed to receive less brickbats that the funicular in Pakatan Penang that malfunctioned and the BN fellow literally went up the hill to attack junior Lim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Malacca malfunctions didn't receive vociferous opposition from the BN fellows. It goes to show that when you have a herd mentality, you'd be willing to scratched the sores on each other's back all the same right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This modern Communist Chinese product seemed to be of poor quality than the one that their ancestors made more than 600 years ago when Chinese junk sailed the oceans without encountering problems like this LRT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps it's bad luck for this modern transport because after all, it is a Unesco heritage historical site. And the LRT is living up to this Malacca distinction - a Unesco heritage relic hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ghost of ole must be unhappy a modern contraption obstructing their good luck fung shui hah!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7640393190497237592?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7640393190497237592/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7640393190497237592&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7640393190497237592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7640393190497237592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/stupid-supertitous-lot-we-are.html' title='A Stupid Supertitous Lot We Are'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-714924024880229507</id><published>2011-11-11T15:00:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-11T16:38:50.473+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Universal 1Malaysia Miss Universe Malaysia.</title><content type='html'>Those who even watch the adverts whether printed or TVCs will noticed that there is often this cliche three major races features in there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the local ruling, most subjects in the adverts featured mat salleh, whites anyone foreign looking was desirable compared to local typical features ie. a Malay, Chinese and Indian or others look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was if you use local faces in commercial advert, they think the product won't sell because there is some racial bias in BolehLand folks. So whites are preferred probably because every local lass, lad, aunties and uncles aspire to want to look like a mat salleh or wished they all looked like (take you hollywood beau and beauty pick here).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or want to have a face as white as rice power like those nihoen-jin geisha or some mamasan!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local faces were like only good for those national duty advertisements you see being advertised during major festivities or national celebrations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pan Asian look was the preferred face like as if the 4 billion Asians are all pan Asian looking.Celup or chap fan, mixed rice look as some like to describe the look seem to be the preferred look that represent any country's look? Or is it a neutral look. How can it be neutral if 50% is not of local Asian stock huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that goes for those overrated beauty contests where besides parading contoured bodies, some bordering on anorexia to the right amount of flabs, opps fat at the right places of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pan Asian look is like a sure winner compared to the typical race face. Of course a Malay face is forever absent as long as the BN, PAS and religious fellows enforce their edict of harm for any Malay or is it Muslim to take part in such parading of flesh and what not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, noone dispute that the pan Asian look does have an added facial advantage but then as we say, beautify is only skin deep too! While pure Chinese, Indian and Kaur looks have won the coveted beauty title, the obsession is still the pan Asian look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even a toothpaste commercial was featuring a pan Asian look and the setting probably in some studio in Manila! Wonder how that passed the local advertisement board! We thought local production is preferred?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So kudos to whatever face or nationality wins the beauty contest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations to Penang-born Kimberley Ann Estrop-Leggett for winning the Miss Universe Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She won as she stood out in both beauty, form and substance we can expect. Considering our beauties these days are well prepared to show more than just form but also substance and have a high degree of intelligence and also extraordinary talents go a long way to score high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So our Miss Universe is not an ah ling or sharon or kanita or letchumi but an Ann Estrop-Leggett, of British Dutch descent. It does in a way show that BolehLand is not the reserve of a Constitution defined race but a potpourri of OTHERS! This others seem to be a thorn at the side of some nationalists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are happy we got a pretty lass to represent BolehLand in the Finals. That is as far we support her as a local lass, whatever race or mixed right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when our Miss Universe Malaysia starts to identify herself as in her word, “I don't think you can define what a Malaysian looks like. I think I represent the 1Malaysia concept,” its cheesy, corny and shows how confused and blur we are about what the heck this 1Malaysia concept is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello, Miss AEL, what do you think you 'represent the 1Malaysia concept' is huh? Is it about not discriminating a pan Asian look beyond a beauty contest or a pan Asian look gets equal treatment, assistance, respect as a Chinese, Indian, Malay, or others looks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it the chap fan, mixed rice, DNA mixture you are composed of, or you are given the freedom to particpate in a beauty contest that does not discriminate any face or DNA type, except Muslims=Malays and vice versa are not allowed to participate! Or, you have special rights and privileges under the 'OTHERS' category or they allow mixed marriage, or you are a fan of the one who conceived this 1Malaysia concept?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps our beauty lass should be made a 1Malaysia concept ambassador and teach those other Miss Universe pageants how wonderful BolehLand is that allowed here to participate in the beautiful contest. And that they don't discriminate what a Malaysia looks like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fair if this is what our beauty queen wants to tell the whole world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But please, show a bit of intelligence and we hope it's not a doggie reaction from attending too many government functions or watch the local news or listen to the local air waves that parrot the mandatory salam 1Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or does mentioning 1Malaysia concept&amp;nbsp; gets you bonus points, and being able to articulate it another two points huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tried to get more into what she means by 1Malaysia concept but unsuccessful. It would have been good if the media fellows or if she has a Facebook or a Twitter to elaborate what “I don't think you can define what a Malaysian looks like. I think I represent the 1Malaysia concept.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I reading too much into the 'innocent intelligent response' or beginning to expose the disease of BolehLand that everything has a tinge of&amp;nbsp; being 'politicised' huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be interesting if at the Finals the judges will ask her what she means by this 1Malaysia concept she represents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Putrajaya fellows must surely be paying her a visit for coaching right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, all the best to Ms Ann and we are sure you are confident and able to carry this 1Malaysia concept in the Finals too, right?

Truly BolehLand, Truly Amazing, Truly Possible and the only thing not truly is Truly Asian we can supposed! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even foreigners are not spared, from those millions of illegal to legal to even those paid millions to promote a nation that is so foreign to them but seem like these foreigners know us like the back of their hands even if what they do are some think intruding our derriere - and being paid to do that too! hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not one thing escapes us from being used to humiliate, accuse, condemn, malign, berate, prosecute, persecute, put away, disgrace and all the negative synonyms of Roget's Thesaurus you may add here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already the leaders have said, both sides have their share that mudslinging or rather stringing family members in public for one's political agenda is fair game!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do we make of those pictures gone viral of sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mistresses and even those who tak nak but ended up nak, old pictures of showing the follies during one's young age and even association with famous personalities. whether real, doctored or 100% proved authentic by experts including those claiming to have seen ghosts or that Avartar is real?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does dragging in a blood related party or related by marital bonds by third party justified or prove one's innocence or guilt?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on which side of the political divide we are, we will either celebrate in glee or gasp in horror by all those 'evidences' being posted in whatever Tubes or social media pages, blogs, sms and every conceivable channel that will give exposure to the subject intended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seeing supposedly moral leaders and holy of holiers in the company of vixens, curvaceous buxom gurls or bunnies or even of different nationality or sipping substance from a receptacle do all these confirm one's suspicion? Does drinking a sparkling gaseous substance from a cocktail or wine receptacle implies one is drinking alcoholic or haram substance? Are we jealous seeing others have better charm and personalities that attract bunnies while we attract toads and flies. Or wonder why toads gets the princesses while we pay the price for their indiscretions seeing they are enjoying life on taxpayer's contributions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We cringe when a son was so wrongly accused of a molestation which was publicly denied while keep silent on groping affairs. We are quick to condemn and now to crucify those considered not normal humans but elevate those to high office indulging in acts against kids!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok sidetracking here. The issue is when is it permissible to involve family members and when not to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest controversy related to this National Feedlot Corporation is generating lots of feed back on a national scale now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one side of the fence are the cow defenders accusing opponents of not having any cow sense and begging the pardon dung-u brains in accusing the cow experts from creating a mess of the millions of ringgit given.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defenders of the cows, opps, the Fidlot are enraged like bulls or is it cow? at our Pakatan folks for not probably using their 'cow sense' by revealing the true nature of the cattle business and steering the public to the truth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The defenders of this cow job are taking the bull by the horn so to speak. Everything is accounted for, how much was disbursed, how expensive each cow costs and how it was set up with the aim of reducing beef imports and making the country a centre for beef production. The centre is in Negeri Sembilan and it is not surprising that the NS MPs, notably Oxford educated youth leader are among the leader of the herd defending this beef project!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, this Negeri Sembilan really has nine lives with regard to the many industries it pioneered to make it the leading state. One can remember the sugar cane industry way back that was a huge PR do when it was launched. Sadly, no sweet success. Then rumour the first nuclear power plant was to be sited in the State but then no clear truth to this. The world's largest coke beverage is thinking of setting up its plant there!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noone argues with making the country a centre for beef production and making it this NFC&amp;nbsp; a sort of BolehLand's McD- &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;alaysian &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;ow &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;omain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noone disputes the importance of being self sufficient in food. The issue is not the industry, it is about the owner of the company!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wife is already complaining of victimising the family by trampling on the good name of the family for dragging the hubby's name into the controversy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we want to play by the rules of not mixing family members in a tête-à-tête, why are we dragging in the hubby in this case while in the other case, the son should be spared? Does it has to do with the age factor, one an adult, the other a juvenile? Is it about conflict of interest, sharing a common interest? One is allegedly about a foreign girl (which have been denied, but somehow some won't let the matter rest). The other is about political connection which can't be denied that somehow many won't let the matter rest. Is one about falsehood while the other truth in the case of the honour and half truths in the operational issues?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings to the question of when is it permissible that family members can participate in huge million ringgit interest if one of them is in high office, more so a Cabinet member? Are we saying that family members got to take on small time jobs and not any job the well connected other half is in? How will that particular race progress if you deny capable people from vying for such opportunities?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of capable expertise, let us not overdo this need for matching skills to a matching business. If that is the case, all our leaders should not even be where they are or those who claim to be schooled in that discipline eg legal, are really contradicting what they studied, right? Or is it these fellows didn't study the right stuff at all hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already the Agriculture Minister has even invited the opposition to run the cattle business if they want to! Which shows, you don't need any cow sense to have a go at this business. It also doesn't mean if you like western cowboy movies or you love beef you will be a successful cattle farmer either?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what distinguish great leaders from just those who possesses degrees or PhDs or from IVY leagues. You need to know how to lead, who to appoint and of course in this case, perhaps a good start or good connection or good opportunity and what have you gives you an added advantage, a million ringgit times more!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Business is like politics. You take a gamble. Hiring the person you know or familiar with is similar to voting the devil you know than one you don't know, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this devil, opps, leader in the cattle business is able to market himself. It's like those consultants who are so good at marketing and peddling their wares, they get hired to do your job you like them to do not the other way round! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ole Tun did once say that can you blame him if the people he picked to run billion ringgit enterprises failed him? To him he believed he picked the best there was or was it those fellows were clever to sell a con job or the ole Tun isn't that smart. But that is history. The saving grace of his expensive adventure, is it helped to get some in the race super astronomically rich else they would remain poor fellows playing with paper airplane or paper ship, using wooden blocks or playing cards to build dream homes or playing on dirt track as if one is in a race track or play with toy cars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The present leader is also going about that, entrusting people to venture big, millions of ringgit big else they might be tending to a few herd of cows and a broken down cowshed to be contented with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you can't immediately make us like Argentina please as it will mean you need to cut down more virgin forest which will rile those activists and if the green movement is as active as the human rights movement, they can be branded communists for stopping Bolehland to have their own McD right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to set up more Fidlots, give out more money, import more fine breed, cows that is, and more importantly to ensure we are self sufficient probably stop inviting beef eating migrants to also fight for a share of the beef with the locals right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So given we trust the government for telling us the truth and facts that the NFC is not some cash cow. Even if someone is connected to high office, it should not be seen as milking this cash cow so to speak, or their welfare is taken care. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we must emphatise with Madam Welfare for getting furious at the Pakatan folks and even jibbing at the Pakatan women folks for dragging the family and victimise the poor Madam Welfare? She is proving everything was done at arms length or hoofs length in this case and asking everyone to Cowabanga Leave the Family Alone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if Madam Welfare seems to be so bull headed and she is not kidding in asking not to drag the family into this, controversy still arises. It doesn't need much cow sense to figure out the supposedly 'conflict of interest' given that the government has tried so hard to tell the voters that they have changed and that cronyism and the many 'isms' and 'tions' are no more in the changed government they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We agree a successful industry is a catalyst to upstream and downstream business and will benefit all those involved in it. But at the moment, the perception of this NFC and cattle industry is they are drawing more flies than the public relishing on good beef buatan Malaysia or satu lagi projek BN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, the public's perception of this satu lagi projek BN is the BN stands for a load of Bull$#%! Narration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And on the offer to run the cattle business, please don't give it to the Pakatan fellows or restrict to politicians only! The Pakatan fellos can't even do a good job collecting the thrash while politicians are good at using cow head for protests or display such traits. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know of many friends who would really want to have a go at this bull, I mean cow business. And that is no bull talk at all too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope this cow thing is not going to be another hee haw fiasco that was exposed in the AG's Report huh? Let's for now keep it that the only two things common both share are, the hoofs and each costs a lot of money to breed. It is tempting to include a third is it's not working! But as they say, 'holy cow, hold your horses' on this third assumption! A moo and hee haw to this, hah!&lt;div class="trimmed"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-2828080789887262702?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/2828080789887262702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=2828080789887262702&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/2828080789887262702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/2828080789887262702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/cowabanga-leave-family-alone.html' title='Cowabanga Leave the Family Alone!'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7748525601116260366</id><published>2011-11-07T16:29:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-08T00:10:58.792+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Education'/><title type='text'>Leafing Over Another Page in English</title><content type='html'>The supposedly soft approach on the both mouthful acronym PPSMI (&lt;span class="st"&gt;the teaching and learning of science and mathematics in English) &lt;/span&gt;vs the MBMMBI (Upholding the Malay Language and Strengthening the Command of English) is more a political decision than an educated educational one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the name PPSMI sounds ridiculous if it is using English why is a BM acronym being used? That may be the reason why teachers are teaching both these subjects using Bahasa Melayu (BM) terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's like after 1969, those caught in that political decision remember how teachers were using English terms to teach the subjects in BM!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goes to show that the teachers these days at least most are comfortable with using BM in teaching the subjects. After all, the generation of teachers today are those from the BM curriculum, so it's not surprising they prefer to revert to BM!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this debate, the teachers seemed awfully quiet. Don't their voice matter! Have friends who are teachers but being urban teachers where they feel comfortable English as the medium of communication, they are the ones caught in the middle. They can't really say much but have to follow the civil servant servile mentality of 'Saya menurut Perintah' - having no choice but to follow orders!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And you let the schools decide? Suddenly the headmaster is empowered to make decisions? Are not schools already crowded? isn't the government doing a kind of Mossad-like tactic on the kids. When the Zionists wanted to get rid of the Palestinians, they would roll barrels of bomb down the streets or just kicked the Palestinians out of their homes to occupy them. Are those kids who don't want to move to another school be asked to make way to those who want English?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is the transfer and movement logistically being done? This decision makes the Education Minister some sort of Einstein genius by proposing the e=mc2 theory to this dual language. Isn't it going to be another BIG MESS&amp;nbsp; (KALAM KABUT) when school starts? What happen to the policy that the kids are at the schools where their abode is? Can someone staying elsewhere displaced the present kids? Or are they going to have two different classes, one BM and one English to teach these two subjects!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The uneducated Minister's Einstein theory is a flawed thinking where e=mc2 is &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;rror=&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;emang &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;haos &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;haos or &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;rror=&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;m&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ong &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ha-&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What cow brain solution is this to ask the school and parents to decide? What if half the Klang Valley want to go to St John or VI if they offer the subjects in English. Are you going to allow someone in Hulu Selangor to send the kid there, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soft transition, soft landing or whatever name you want to use, showed the weak and softie of the government in trying to win votes from PAGE members! It sends the message if you can get a big following group and make a protest and hold the government by their bullocks, you will get your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But PAGE fellows are either naive or overtly optimistic the government has changed as they claim they have. After GE13 when BN gets back their two thirds majority, with votes from PAGE members, BN will kill Hamlet's 'To English or Not To English' epithet as they succumbed in 1969.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Kua's rationalising that "First, we should be thankful that the right to mother tongue education and the fact that every child learns best in the mother tongue is a principle that has been established in Unesco and is now widely accepted in our country" is rather outdated. Especially for the millions like yours truly who have lost the mother's tongue advantage&amp;nbsp; or even think the mother's tongue is not of economic value, has taken on another language and have no regrets but thankful as we are able to survive in a global environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because one is born in an environment that the mother tongue is predominant, it doesn't mean those who are yellow bananas are less smarter or educated or capable of learning less huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was tedious to read philosophy in BM while in university and it was the BM mandatory paper that pulled my grades down! I don't fault the language but my lack of mastery of the language. But then almost three quarters of the philosophical terms were direct translation but a change of an alphabet here and there. It was English that enabled me and millions others to excel while in a foreign institution of higher learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the expensive cow farm National Feedlot Corporation, BM translation had a Fido Dido sound FidLot? If that is the case, the PAGE fellows have a point if you only change a character to make it BM, why not just teach in the original language huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest case for improving English is the findings that Pakistanis are better in English than our graduates! And the other countries in Asia are on an accelerated path to ensure their people acquire English language skills. In BolehLand, we are embroiled in politicising it!. Elloooo wake up! No point shouting in English as to these policy uneducated fellows their England is not very kurma pedas powderful enuf huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it is a fallacy that a common language=unity and harmony! It's just a subtle brainwashing technique to ensure political survival! Many monolingual nations have wide differences in views especially with their political leaders. Thailand even voted in a woman! The South Koreans have not qualms going on demonstration to show their displeasure against the government. Taiwan fellows love to go on a fistfight with their own kind in the assembly too! In even English speaking nations, there are wide differences with the political leader and the people. The Wall Street campers are using English to shout their displeasure at businesses and bankers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, it's an irony, you want everyone to learn BM but you perpetuate a racist policy! You decide how they should pray, who gets scholarships, who gets help to do business, who gets home cheaper even if the citizen speaks impeccable BM, it is of NO USE to more than 70% of the young people growing up. They might as well use their mother tongue to talk with their own kind if the kids are not allowed to mix because of race, religion and cultural difference, right? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that the government does not want to admit publicly or put it in the stature books on the position of English in our society, English will always be a foreign element and will be used to gain political mileage or lack of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PAGE has a valid point. Why are we allowing mother tongues medium of instruction but not English? Is it because it is not a mother tongue? What good is your mother tongue if, pardon the expression, if it's only good and medically useful for kids to be breast fed huh? Being adamant about using the mother tongue is like asking the kids to continue suckling even at adulthood, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well and good if you want your kid to be educated using your mother's tongue. But if parents feel that they believe another language gives their children a better future, why are we stopping them? Are we telling these parents, sorry it's taxpayers money and the majority think English is not the option so live with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The children caught in the middle of the elephants fighting over language is a lost and trampled generation. When they grow up and learn they have been screwed, it's rather late because probably they can find work like what the migrants does today, maids, construction, food &amp;amp; entertainment and security guards, that need rudimentary English or basic intelligence, Maths and Science not required at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have an impression, the fight over language is a subtle way to prevent brain drain. You flip flop, confuse the kids, waterdown the curriculum, educate the kids into a confused lot, take away any global language advantage, these 5 million kids are not marketable beyond BolehLand's border. They will definitely have to stay in BolehLand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, in a decade from now, our kids level of language is like the present migrant's command of language. Our mighrants level of language is they know only their mother's tongue, that is Vietnamese, Nepalese, Urdu, Cambodian, Bahasa Indonesian and are working as maids, in mamak stalls, restaurants, construction and estates and every job the migrants are holding these days. Our migrants have rudimentary basic English and BM to be able to nod whenever the mandur or taiko ask them to carry a shovel or wash the bathroom and what have you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similarly this generation of kids will be good with their mother tongue, BM, Mandarin, Tamil and rudimentary English. Since they cannot work elsewhere and are uneducated and can only speak their mother tongues, they are good to work at home. Hey presto, BN government has found a solution to displace the millions of illegal - by replacing them with our own or legalise the migrant workers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't sigh a relief that the Education Minister and Ministry are helping to solve the illegal migrant workers problem by confusing our kids and reduce them to juvenile illiterates to replace the migrant workers job. BolehLand will still have to employ millions over migrant workers. By 2020, our migrant workers will speak better English than our local kids. If BolehLand still depends on global trade and have companies that deal with the global world, our BolehLand employers will still employ foreign migrants because they speak better English than us and need rudimentary BM, Mandarin or Tamil like now.has &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there you have it, PAGE, parents and kids.&amp;nbsp; Think this scenario is some fanciful English nursery kiddie story huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At that time probably, Boleland would have passed a law or react against PAGE as some dysfunctional group as how they react towards the LBGT Seksualit Merdeka programme. If the English speaking groups want to promote any English awareness programme, they will be given the sledgehammer LBGT treatment. PAGE will also meet the same fate like the LBGT and their children will be cursed and ridiculed for being a minority and speaking something which the holy book doesn't pray using the English Language or the sermons done in the English language. PAGE might be branded as a LBGT group - i&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;legal &lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and of en&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;G&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;lish &lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;errorist group no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government's message is so LOUD and CLEAR. It is telling all those fellows including PAGE to find your own ways, do it your own, you ain't going to spoil my hold on political power and we are not spending one sen on you as we need the money to win the elections! So go take care of English yourself and we don't need you or your English speaking kids, they can all get lost and migrate for all we care because we want to promote the mother tongue that will give us the votes - BM, Mandarin &amp;amp; Tamil - faham tak! We can employ English speaking migrants as we are known in the world for being the Mother of importing migrants!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So kids, sorry, you are on your own because the government know best what mother tongue will give you a good education. English is sadly not the one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The flip flop decision is just leafing over another page in the Mess the government created with regard to the English language. Their confidence of our kids fitting in a globalised environment is beyond anyone's imagine. Yes indeed we are training our kids to prepare them for a global environment the year 2018.

We snide at war and tribal torn Africa, terrorism in the Middle East, the KKK in the US of A and the drug wars of Latin America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ridicule the intolerance of supposedly matured and developed governments towards minorities, in Europe namely the Muslim minorities. But we are silent on the kind of treatment meted to minorities in the Arab world! We sigh a relief that we are not afflicted by natural disasters, earthquakes or forest fire or flooding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our leaders travel overseas to preach and teach others on good governance, moderation, tolerance, the many successful 'satu lagi projek Barisan Nasional' that has brought progress to the people, unity, muhibbah, religious tolerance, model education system, fantastic youth programmes, good governance in business and almost every ills that inflict other societies, our leaders have a solution and quote the successes of their model in resolving the ills of society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But back home, the folks mostly urban folks know that those are all politicians speaking. When non politicians speak in a foreign land, they are being ridiculed and intimidated. When non politicians get involved in causes at home, they are similarly ridiculed and intimidated by the MACC, Police, Special Branch, Religious Departments, almost every institution passed by the government, i.e. BN government, except probably in Kelantan with regard to religious issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest incident of the many is the Seksualti Merdeka (SM) event which has been going on for the last two years. This year, the opposition to it is more intense than ever before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It frightens us that after praying to God, these fellows carry sledgehammers like they got God's call to hammer the brains out of us. It is like God is singling us out to be persecuted for corrupting society and we will be made scapegoats for the ills of the country, unemployment, rape, incest and khalwat cases," one said in a weekend meet with frens of similar persuasions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-slaMx4RAY94/TrYzqyYi6NI/AAAAAAAACe0/Wt6zvtXVGl0/s1600/seksual.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="214" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-slaMx4RAY94/TrYzqyYi6NI/AAAAAAAACe0/Wt6zvtXVGl0/s320/seksual.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;God''s or man's way to kill the LBGTs?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;©Star Nov 5, 2011 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"God or they are telling us we are supposed to be confined to the ghettos, not to be heard or seen that will give a bad name to the model religious state that BolehLand leaders have declared it to be!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are being persecuted more than those corrupt officials and those who commit all kinds of maksiat in the name of God or to stay in political power," quipped another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not necessary to stereotype this community as which majority race they belong to because it does no good to pinpoint who are the hypocrites or an explanation of why the level of hate and anger of certain religious groups are being vented towards this community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Maybe if you changed the name as SM itself has a rather kinky connotation and doesn't do well to serve your cause, huh?" was a meek response I could only give without being too condescending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yah, like not calling a bribe a bribe but rather a kind of payment for priority service and privileges, or overspending or cost overrun being attributed to inflation or using more safety materials and what not," was the response to try to make those who vehemently oppose the programme to call a spade a spade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If that is the case then why call it gay or PLU, People Like Us, as you like to use a more politically correct term. Even the 'Merdeka' term you used, the Merdeka has very dear meaning to those ketuanan bangsa freedom fighters. You are tainting their noble cause with something that they abhor because their religion tells them so and civil society in this land bans it too. Why not call it the LBHT Advocacy for Respect, spell it out, at least it is a brave start to call a spade a spade right,"&amp;nbsp; was the logical argument to probe the group of PLUs in the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hello it's LBGT, not LBHT, dear!" one cried out in an instant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"H, as in homosexual, as what those opposing it want you PLUs to be frank and say it outright than try to hide it with fancy terms to gain acceptance," was the explanation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Even using internationally accepted term kena belasah, you want to use the direct word! Those who are corrupt can't accept the word cheaters or thieves. They don't even think what they did amount to corruption. Now who is being a hypocrite. Even the holy ones turn out to be the ones with the most hate towards their own brothers and sisters, what about those who don't share their own faith," one replied detecting a tone of charged emotion, i.e. sensing anger in these PLUs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I hate these hypocrites! as we don't disturb them and it's like a relationship, it is between two people, kenapa orang lain nak kacau, ini bising third party, suka suka threesome," one said. And the conversation was turning into venting anger and hate towards those who similarly are venting even more anger and hate against the LBGT cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well I wonder if they have someone in their family doing something against their religion if they will also take a sledgehammer and whack them like what we see them doing to their homophobic posters they made. I'm not talking about homo or lesbo and I am using this word because kita dah terima and accept these term. I'm talking about incest, where family members tau but buat tak tau. Where a family member takes bribe and steals, also buat tak tau. Worse if they sama dacing, they kongsi do it. Like all those prejudices they privately curse on the other races. Itu semua ok," the leader of the group trying to point out the double standard of his race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These days the gurls and guys even blame us for influencing their boyfrens and galfrens that they are not straight! I have some asking me to buat kajian and 'test' if their other half is straight or not! Am I to be blamed if you ask me to do a 'job'?" was a reply that chuckled the rest of the group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My family knows I'm gay, kenapa tak panggil itu Majlis apa, tangkap saya, bawa I ke surau hari Jumaat and selepas sembayang, use the sledgehammer on me and gantung me. Then I know he really is Allah's soldier doing what God wants!" said one, whose eye liner would envy all those datins and mak ciks!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point of sharing this is that the LBHT or LBGT community sees the BIG HYPOCRISY of the moral guardians be they religious or civil. But one shouldn't blame the religion for making men into beasts! You can have someone who is a free thinker and still abhors such 'acts against nature'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If I am allowed, I'd change my religion!" will not solve the problem at least in BolehLand. It's a doubles suicide dear one said trying to calm the frustrated fren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Gays not the way in BolehLand and no way are we going to be accepted even if a same-same leader gets in power! Hate is the way to deal with us" was a resigned response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing about that evening was in the hot discussions, it was interspersed with sarcasm and laughter and fun! "We don't bother these holy freaks because I will be answerable to God! or if tak tahan just become like you Cinaapek labelled a disloyal person by migrating!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hello, even if you think that you feel accepted in the Queens in New York, you will still be discriminated. The US of A is one of the most conservative racist intolerant society, at least in private!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And what makes BolehLand more tolerant and loving? Our religion and the behaviour of our politicians and those in power issit?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I have a PLU fren who committed suicide after his studies overseas because his dad could not accept him for declaring himself one and ridiculed and disowned him as a family member. Do you blame the son or the father or you blame the LBGT community or all three?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This girl jumped because the sister scolded her for being with her boyfriend and disgracing the family. Do you blame the girl, the sister or the boyfriend or all three?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hate is the way to deal with issues in BolehLand. Today's reflection in the Sunday Star "Fanning Hate ends Freedom", rightly commented that "it is really horrifying to see the level of intolerance and hostility felt by some for anything or anyone who is different from them."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that showed in the discussion with this 'special people' they want to call themselves. is they know their politics as much as the normal folks. The sad thing is that those who hate them don't know anything about them except join in with the 'raging bulls' and ram anything and anyone who are not on their bandwagon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Perhaps you shouldn't demand you should be accepted because you have special people with special needs' was a query questioned posed to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Those rapist, drug addicts, substance addicts, wife beaters, those who like young boys and girls also claim they have special needs and want to be accepted, their own 'Merdeka' pardon the word. So why should they not be respected too and why should you be made the exception?" was the logic line that got them quite lost for an answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a moral, civil, religious and whatever else you want to fill in question! It is no point trying to make those who feel strongly against such people to show tolerance and appeal to them to know their religion! They know their religion and their laws, that is why they are against such people! Or they will say, I hate your act not you! Which is a load of rubbish really!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your action does not define the person you are, that what does? Your thoughts huh? Or just your words? Are we trying to distinguish ourselves like a toy. Take away the battery and you are not Buzz Light?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BolehLand is full of people with good intentions. Some more than others and if the person wears the religious cloak, he or she will find that the only person who is saved and can go to shurga, heaven is himself or herself. The other person is full of imperfections that contradict what the good book says!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, the way to feel that others are saved and save oneself, is to be in the company of those who declare themselves saved or on the politically right side of things and you go along with their KKK, anti Semitic, racist crusader or jihad campaign you are guaranteed a safe passage to heaven or accepted as worthy to live in this part of the bumi. No, we are not referring to one religion or race or group in particular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given that that sadly &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Hate is the Way&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to get one's way in BolehLand, expect to see more of such attitude, emotions and actions. Even the police is joining in the act on the rationale they need to interview, interrogate, intimidate all those who are involved in groups or issues that anger other people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that is the case, what if the PLUs express their anger at those ordinary folks for being angry with them, threatening physical harm by their mob mentality? Will the police interview those wielding sledgehammers and torching their banners?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we are getting nowhere trying to gain some compassion from society or those of your own religious faith, be they Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or atheist. We shouldn't even tag one's religious belief toward those who just don't like queers among them.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as these good loving normal people turn a blind eye to corruption, bribery, incest, rape, drug addiction, homeless in society, they don't want you PLUs to surface your attention in public. If you think it's a personal thing and you want to carry on behind closed doors, which these days isn't as safe as you think, just do it on the quiet. This seems to be the message from those wielding sledgehammers because these people haven't declared themselves yet the 'police' to go on some witch hunt. Do a Hitler thingy as some want to call it or an Inquisition campaign to rid the society of homosexuals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if we know our history, the homosexuals and Jews seem the easiest scapegoats to start with and then they move on to others, those not of your race or religion, those fighting for causes deemed communists, like human rights activists and in the end the only people in your cleansed bumi piece of earth are likely those who belong to the political party that is ruling the country, BN or Perkasa and the groups they support, Perkasa and the new Bersih group perhaps huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no way in BolehLand will the LBGT group find acceptance because HATE seems the best way to deal with this group. Noone dares to arrest or stone those LBGT group, the government is only using one high profile case for an ulterior reason than resolve this LBGT scourge they seem to tell us in their recent reaction towards SM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The reason why these holier than thou religious and political hypocrites don't want to take action and arrest the PLUs is the need to build more Kamuntings to house us. It will be a field day for us to 'out' those people and they know if you want to put down a drag queen, she can drag down the rest of those datuks and who else right?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"As one movie tagline puts it "I can see gay people" in the corridors of power, in the sky, in the sports arena, even emcees and news readers, those in religious councils, those in high office, those in the armed forces, those in residential schools, in fact every nook and corner of BolehLand. How many would you like us to flush out so you can swat them like flies with a sledgehammer, huh?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But these straight people will escape because there are many crooks walking the corridors of power and getting rich in their make belief special reserved one race businesses they set up! Don't you know crooks protect each other huh?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Perhaps these people get a sm kinky kick out of victimising us, you know like Freud's suppressed libidos trying so hard to hide it they display some defense mechanism behaviour and trying to project a rational action of abhorrence and disgust for LBGTs but then on their own, they are closet cases," said one relishing the thought that there are many 'normal' people there, including those wielding sledgehammers who are PLUs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We really do not have answers on how to deal with this issue. Simply because we don't have answers to deal even with normal people's behaviour like incest, adultery, statutory rape. So why discriminate these PLUs like they are the scums of the earth and the cause of all those cow head behaviour, torching of worship places, rising divorce, mess in the education system, obesity, inflation, national debt, racist mentality, inflation and what have you - which are brought about by so called normal and holy men huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If normal and LBGT are all suffering because the government messed up the country are you going to find scapegoats in us? You be the judge" asked one which we shall leave the answer to the individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Never mind, kita sama-sama nanti GE13 vote siapa kita suka suka us okie!" they said in a high five to each other.

There are new oddities, unending ones when our politicians open their mouth, they pollute the air with some of the most moronic statements which are really for the rural or party folks consumption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the rural folks take offense for being labelled as the ignorant and easily bought over. But then, not many opposing voice from the rural folks are heard or reported in the MsMedia. The only time they seem to have existence is when the YB goes there and the MSM are forced to spin a story of the gratefulness of the rural folks for those Putra-fellows who dress up looking they having got their 'jaya'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worse kind of oddity and logic is often committed by those seeking to reclaim lost states. The laughable is from the Penang fellows from the UMNO and BN Youth leaders who must have failed their Maths being taught in BM or is it English?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway they are so so so worried the Penang langs are going to be bankrupt because the DAP chief is blamed for cheating the people with some underwater project. Odd to want to build underwater complexes when the need is for dry land!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The state BN has claimed that it is set to be the biggest land scandal  in Penang and the sum involved could even reach RM500 million. Based on a population of 700,000 on the island, BN claimed that each islander would end up paying RM697 for the project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well pure kampong folks logic! RM697 debt each Penang lang face!!!&lt;br /&gt;Odd, our UMNO and BN leaders couldn't accuse their own leaders of causing a&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt; &lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM407 billion in debt &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;which means each of the citizen (including newly given ones from recent legal and illegal migration?) would each have to fork out, according to our last population count of circa 24.8 million, is about RM16,400!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the rocket is burning the pockets of Penang lang of &lt;span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;"&gt;RM697&lt;/span&gt; each, these BN morons don't seem to be worried their government is making a bankrupt of each of us at&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt; RM16,400! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No wonder the dacing is unbalanced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But no worries as usual because 1Malaysia says we have enough reserves to the tune of RM40 billion! How comforting! If we have enough reserves no worries again even if our debt is about 2% close to the 55% critical point where we are doing to be Greece-land too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One suspects the reason the BN government is not worried about overspending more than it earns is the finance fellows and 1Malaysia don't understand simple accounting or monetary policies or economics of debt. Perhaps everything is Greek to them that's why they can't balance the budget! And they would surely be proud if we ended up the Greek way! After all, they are already screwing the citizens up so long that it is about time they get some official certification that they have gone Greece-under too, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are getting mixed signals about the health of our debt. The 1Malaysia chief says we have a clean bill of health. The No1 driver of projects, Pemandu said we are heading for bankruptcy if we are borrowing for things that don't generate income! Election time is in the air somewhere and when the BN politicians go on a campaign they will be using borrowed money we can presume to give a million here and there to grease palms, in envelopes, makan-makan, airtime, PR advertisements,&amp;nbsp; billboards and every conceivable election paraphernalia they can spend their money on, right? At least that is what was done in the last GE. Expect this GE13 to see even more money being printed and used for the BN machinery, unless these fellows have changed and are only spending money on flags and nomination fees huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already we are told of millions being spend when 1Malaysia travels overseas with his entourage. Even the rural kampung trips also cost a bomb. New buses, helicopters and every luxury means of transportation is used!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we common folks are asked to wait out for the LRT and stop trying to save your property and let the LRT project go as planned so that everyone can travel when it is completed and KL roads will be safe for the skateboarders, and matsikal rempits, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we got RM50 billion reserve no worries there isn't money right? So no reason for GST we can supposed? Or is it going to happen after GE13 now that BN is very sure of gaining back its 2/3 courtesy of all those who believe BN has changed for the better and that the alternative is more evil if not the only evil party compared to the clean BN government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad maths contribute to bad debts. Besides greed, corruption, incompetence, wastage, leakages and what not. Basically if you are bad in counting you'd get all your figures messy! So the Penang langs UMNO and BN fellows must be terribly bad with maths or their minds are so closed and myopic, more brainwashed that they don't know that the whole of BolehLand needs to pay over two and a half times about 150% more than what junior Lim is supposed to put the Penang Hokkiens, Mamaks, Malays, Indians and others in debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our BN politicians in Penang are so worried about the huge amount and will make police reports we can supposed over RM&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;697 Penang folks have to pay &lt;/span&gt;vs &lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM16,400&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; each Malaysian has to pay off the government debt! This is how the BN fellows are going to town literally to show how much suffering those rocket people are inflicting upon the Penang langs only. Perhaps they are confident of what their leaders tell them that we are not bankrupt and the state of the union is healthy! That's why they are so free to point out the HUGE DEBTS junior Lim is causing to our poor Penang langs!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course we must object to sPICE if it is really going to be a huge white underground whale project! As Gerakan left the Komtar icon, which is like an empty shell that a pride full of activity like Suria KLCC, Pakatan DAP is going to leave this underwater icon like an empty sea shell legacy huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it with our leaders trying to out built or out debt each other to show they are really spending the people's money for good use huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only way for BN to sink this water park is to get voted in and they are already starting the salvo with their elementary arithematic way of frightening the Penang langs and the mamaks and bumiputras how this CAT is going to milk the Penang coffers dry and put them into an ocean full of debts. How frightening indeed the rural folks must gasp in horror at the corruption and wastage in building white elephant or rather whale projects!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The announcement of 100 stories tower, starting overseas restaurants to promote cuti cuti Malaysia, overshot project cost and the AG reports are all kacang issues to our Penang UMNO and BN youth leader we can supposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wonder if the BN election machinery has gone out of ideas to badger the opposition. Or the start of their ridiculing campaign to poke holes at everything the Pakatan fellows have done huh? They can't get enough of attacking junior Lim. They just fired their salvo at the son, is the wife next or the parents?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The MSMedia is also being roped in to expose all the HUGE DEBTS that the Pakatan government has built up and causing HUGE suffering on the people. It won't be any surprise if 1Malaysia's government will blame to opposition for incurring the HUMUNGOUS GADZILLION DEBTS. You see they, BN have to spend spend spend, have grandious projects to let the rural folks know they are doing something. Or else they can't ask us to be grateful for all they have spent on us can they? If there wasn't any strong opposition, they would just probably spend less but still make their cronies become richer! Now they have to spend billions to impress the rural folks and ignorant that they are doing something good for the people, hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people, especially must know that he who wins the election holds the money purse. Somehow, BN has managed to manipulate the money thing into telling common rural folks that BN is the one who earned the money and they can spend as they wish but then decided to spend it for the good of the people. With this logic, surely you must put an 'x' for them, even if the projects end up with a huge 'X' failure. Like the overpriced cattle Beef Valley fiasco!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And please don't blame Bahasa Melayu or English for making our UMNO and BN fellows have juvenile maths knowledge. It's not the language but the content. In the sPICE, these people somehow managed to show us how clever they are at using language to convince the ordinary mamaks and bumiputeras that the debt Penang langs, need to pay is real. Use it as a threat to derail the project! Good strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the rest of us, even if we know that banyak lagi Projek Barisan Nasional have failed, we seemed helpless to sack those who misuse the funds. Makes us all juvenile, stupid and moronic idiots for voting in the same people for the past over 50 years to vote them in again and again and again. And that is how we have created pharoahs and ayatollahs and the mullahs inter-sprinkled by the modern kaya raya new bumi umno baruputras generation holding a plate or raising keris for their handouts and preserving their privileges, no?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-8845864828850225155?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/8845864828850225155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=8845864828850225155&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8845864828850225155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/8845864828850225155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/bad-maths-to-bad-debts.html' title='Bad maths to Bad Debts'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-5522153854910905007</id><published>2011-11-05T11:21:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2011-11-06T00:40:30.608+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><title type='text'>Where is the Beef or Feed?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;Cow-wah-bankrupt SuperMoos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is something about cows, cowheads and names sounding like cows that seem to create a whole lot of controversies in BolehLand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest is about how much does it really cost to rear cows. And a lot of parties involved have been feeding, pun intended, us a lot about where the beef is or whether the agency, the National Feedlot Corporation (NFC) with links to Madam Minister hubby's link is doing a curi-curi Malaysia, not related to tourism though, but nonetheless connected to allegation it may be feeding itself the fodder, green cash in this sense, than giving fodder, green grass that is, to the cows or lack of cows!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To put the issue in context, the 2010 Auditor-General’s Report said the NFC project of whichRM250 million soft loan was given to the company owned by Cabinet minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Jalil’s husband to create Malaysia’s “Beef Valley” had turned into a mess.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Even 1Malaysia is riding in on the cow issue to defend, as this BN government always does -&amp;nbsp; that satu lagi projek BN, is always for the benefit of the people and always successful and never a failure and that the opposition or in this case, the AG is wrong, huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The BN's government defence was coming out with a whole of of statistics to beef up their defence that the project was never a failure. Seems it cost the NFC RM141 million to produce the 8,016 head of cattle, which is 22 times more than the ministry’s original estimate of RM6.37 million to rear 9,000 cows annually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it is so then it costs cowabanga &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;RM17,589.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;82035928144 to rear one cow! What the heck do they feed the cows with, tongkat ali, caviar, shitake mushroom soup, foie gras, champagne, shark fins, huh? Did they go on a lawatan sambit cuti to the land of the rising sun and sinking Yen to learn how they pamper the wagyu cattle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did our BolehLand cows get manicure and pedicure, were migrant workers employed to massage them and the cows had piped in Biarlah Rahsia music or 52" flat screen to watch the Kim Kardishan's break up marriage huh? That may explain the expensive cost similar to the amount&amp;nbsp; some datins spend their time at a 'fat farm' to burn off those flabs eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And who in cow's name eat these expensive cows! Are they rearing it for their hide to produce local branded bags for all sorts of first ladies or first lady of sorts huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The government officials are now all behaving like some High Chaparral cowbois experts, giving lots of justification that the 'Beef Valley' is a success and that there was not abuse of power in the federal government’s spending on this NFC project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why didn't they object to the AG when the audit was being done and issued? Will they later find the ultimate answer that the AG officials were vegetarians or white meat eaters and don't know a moo about cattle breeding huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And who in cow's name heard of a 'Beef Valley'? This 'Beef Valley' project is not a rare beef, pun intended,&amp;nbsp; project we folks hear from the BN fellow. The BN government has a fondness of proclaiming that they have come up with impressive, fail safe, valleys and corridors?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have heard of names like Silicon Valley, Proton Valley, Sugar Valley, Biotech Valley, Traditional Arts and Crafts Valley, Malaysiawood Movie Valley and then there were this Hub and that Hub and then this Corridor, that Corridors!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh so many valleys, hubs and corridors, you'd think BolehLand consists of one huge interconnected RAM microchip. The only thing we folks get a feel of is being rammed up with stories of mismanagement, wastage, debts and whole lot of hogwash on a beef issue this time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't be surprised when the BN fellows are overdone with, pun intended, or run out of justification and excuses, they will try and accuse Pakatan fellos of also wasting money on underground deals such as a certain sPICE project that is receiving afterburner heat from the UMNO and BN langs in Penang. Seemed they are accusing the rocket man of cheating the Penang folks including the mamaks and bumis having to end up paying RM697 debt each for the project. More on this in later blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for the moment, let's not stray from the BN langs showing their cow sense and brains or lack of it and they don't seem to give a moo about the expensive cows they rear! Gosh with that kind of money one would think the cows are being reared as pets! Come to think of it since it's a 'Beef Valley' thingy, it is a BN pet project to show us that they know a thing about cows than support people parading cows eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is a lot of pride in the BN fellows. If the Beef Valley seem to become overcooked with failure, they have another fail proof plan to raise the st(e)ake to make it a success. Bring out the 'privileges and rights' card. Tell the people it's a bumiputra company, we need to uplift their entrepreneurial and business skill, we need to pump in more money to help them become expert cowbois and pump in more green feed, money that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The end is probably going to use taxpayers' money for a cowa-bankrupt supermoo project and the only well done, pun intended, thing about this project is the BN government will pat themselves on the back and that of the owner of the company with a 'well done job sudah berjaya jadi kaya dalam venture ini,&amp;nbsp; (successful in being rich from this venture), right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So are ordinary beef eating or vegetarian folks convinced of all the explanations that there was no corruption, waste or just another grandiose plan that seem to feed the pockets of those running it than feed the people and bring the price of beef down? Surely with such a cost on the cow's head, pun intended, one can't really expect to pay cheaply for it right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finding the truth is like looking for the beef in the haystack! The explanations this far we hear stink like the cow's flatulent. All these politicians do when they open their mouth is trying to behave like the cow's swashing away the truth flies with their ta(i)les! They are just gasbags when they open their mouth which only serves to contribute to global warming like what the cows are being accused of too yeh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where is the beef or rather where is the feed to this beef fiasco? What cow proof hide explanations will they come up with next that will end this expose? Perhaps the Britannica dream PR team will think up of asking 1Malaysia to say that the cows are all being donated for the holy korban festival? Now how cool can that be and that will surely close the pen on this beefy subject right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will surely end all these horsing around about corruption scandal and plots on this beef issue doesn't it? Everyone trying to get a slice of juicy stories of wrong doings will have to be contented with having an empty plate in their pursuit for the truth, hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then God being God is Great, when you have cows or cattle as they prefer to call it, you'd expect to have horses around too right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One wonders if the AG has a great sense of humour in highlighting the cattle issue as well as also reporting something about spending RM5 million to buy horses, not for rounding up the cattle though, but supposedly for some championship competition. Seems we are also taken for a ride on this purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Form cowabanga to hee-haw, now there is truth in blogs and what we hear in cyberworld that in the corridors of power and the August House, it is like an animal farm and a zoo too, right? Cow sense, monkey brains, stubborn mules, asses &amp;amp; donkeys, slimy snakes, amphibians abound among these polluticians!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-5522153854910905007?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/5522153854910905007/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=5522153854910905007&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5522153854910905007'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5522153854910905007'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/11/where-is-beef-or-feed.html' title='Where is the Beef or Feed?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7068705163988938573</id><published>2011-10-30T15:05:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T15:37:40.321+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Civil service'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><title type='text'>Incompetence, Corruption or Plain Stupidity?</title><content type='html'>In the previous blog post, an option was given to BolehLand folks who wish to celebrate Halloween that instead of being sucked into the commercialisation of this devil's worship festivity with spikes, horns, pumpkins, broomsticks, spells, curses, treats and tricks - one could just read the Auditor General's Report 2010 and get an even more frightful experience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And read it I did, but only three quarters the synopsis, it was enough to feel the things reported makes Halloween like a weekend barbeque celebration and that the AG Report is the mother of Halloween all things evil and bad.It contained the works by devils in wasting precious hard earned money of taxpayers, those bumpkins who pay without checking, the federal government fellows and civil servants being tricked with shoddy workmanship, contractors making suckers of the civil servants in quoting exorbitant prices more than 1000% market value for some items!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, the AG Report reports the horrors of incompetence that border on corruption and clearly portray the plain stupidity of those from Ministers to the lower staff of the Ministry and civil servants. It shows the evil that men do in the name of money because it is about wasting money, it is about excesses in spending, it is about the couldn't care attitude of the government in showing proper governance, accountability and responsibility in managing public funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not like this is the first time that the government agencies are audited. It is not also the first time those agencies set up to end corruption and Ministers suddenly turned responsible to throw the book at offenders. We should give all those heads and departments a broomstick and better still sweep these useless fellows away than let them continue to spook us with more horror stories of wastage, more rot and bleed the nation dry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When our Idris was casting the net of fear over the land of impending bankruptcy if we do not support reduction in subsidies, the public were blamed for leading the country to potential bankruptcy.It is really an irresponsible doomsday warning and a lie too because the government hid from the public the billions lost to leakages, these holes most likely conveniently being made so that the money flows into the correct receptacle, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If our military fellows can be cheated and so blind to know they have been conned by the supplier charging them a bomb for equipment purchased, are we surprised of the kind of problems faced by the big ticket items they bought?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And can we only blame the Agriculture fellows for not being able to handle the cow issue, if the government itself was indifferent towards another 'cow' incident?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we must really believe Tourism Malaysia's tagline of Cuti cuti Malaysia because with the way they overspend, the agencies are the ones laughing all the way to the bank and living off their fortunes, cuti cuti-ing elsewhere? Is it the Tourism fellos are always in a cuti cuti mood, they don't realise they are being ripped off by the agencies. No wonder Curi curi Malaysia seems the most apt tagline for the Tourism Ministry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we have the Welfare Ministry, mocking Pakatan ang pows  when they are also wasting precious money that could be used to perhaps up the ante on Penang's donation by giving extra to the senior citizens no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it a coincident if the satellite is kind of blur because even if it was perfect when it scans on BolehLand's landscape, giving the kind of flip flop and situation happening on our terra cotta, one cannot really see clearly what is really happening down here in BolehLand?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaders, good leaders are supposed to take responsibility and owned up to the incompetence, corruption or plain stupidity that have resulted in the issues pointed out in the AG Report. In BolehLand, our leadership style is to blame the opposition like what the No2 is asking the Pakatan fellows to do while sidelining the AG;s report card on the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With such shortcomings, it shows either the government fellos are promoting incompetent, corrupt or stupid leaders or they can't find honest one these days to admit to the mistakes, take ownership and resign. The last option does not exist in BolehLand. It exists even in supposedly underdeveloped India and Thailand where Ministers have resigned and taken ownership.In Bolehland, our leaders blame God, the opposition, the public and everyone else, even the AG and don't be surprised they want the AG replaced with a more 'understanding' one huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The promise to take action by the Ministers, MACC and department heads is just burning a few calories uttering such promise. Come next year, probably the eraser will cost RM100 ringgit, the paper clip RM10, the software a couple of million ringgit but can't use in the hardware, the roof of the newly hospital will start to turn green along with the wall paint, the children's food will be maggie mee that cost RM10 a bowl and more horrible reports of being made stupid by scrupulous vendors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can the AG or the department concerned, reveal the names of these contractors, suppliers and vendors so that other companies will avoid using them and save us a lot of money too. If the government leaders have not maths sense on how to calculate cost or even simple market price sense in buying things, at least spare the others from being cheated by these evil lying vendors right?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AG recommended imposing a surcharge to those who fail to pay or collect accordingly. It should also be impose on Heads/Division who fail to take action against subordinates who did not carry out their responsibilities. What about sacking the No 1 too?. Care to really impose it. That way we can recover back  the billions of wastage right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are really serious issues and problems for us to deal with and spend our energy on. But our leaders choose to prefer to fight imaginary enemies and create new tricks and threaten us with fear if we do not ensure that we remain separated and distinguished along race, religion, culture and now language too! Which makes incompetence, corruption and plain stupidity to be accepted and will continue to be part of our society.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-7068705163988938573?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/7068705163988938573/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=7068705163988938573&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7068705163988938573'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/7068705163988938573'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/incompetence-corruption-or-plain.html' title='Incompetence, Corruption or Plain Stupidity?'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-6853073543881656730</id><published>2011-10-29T16:45:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-30T13:44:00.216+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Education'/><title type='text'>English Gets You Nowhere BM Gets Me the Votes</title><content type='html'>Those who are trying to not let English be snuffed out in the education system of BolehLand are fighting a losing battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First they are fighting against the survival of a political party than to ensure their children survive if the children seeks education overseas or decide to work overseas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then these groups including PAGE are battling against the racist policy and political game of divide and rule perpetuated by the BN government strongly supported by UMNO, MCA and MIC. These three based political parties are adamant of ensuring that three different languages closely associated with their survival as a political party are taught in schools. So Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil reign supreme in the supposedly national education policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attempts by concerned parents to give their children a better opportunity to survive in a global environment seems a futile battle. The government because of politics prefer to revert back to the divide and rule formula for education. They have turned the language issue into a national and sensitive issue. Given anything is possible in BolehLand, don't be surprised they are going to amend the Education Act to make it a crime for anyone to want to propose for English to be taught other than as a language, while Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil will be accorded Article 153 like treatment huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given election is in the air and the new school term is not far away, the government must start its insistence on NO COMPROMISE, NO OPTION on using Bahasa Melayu, Mandarin and Tamil for Science and Maths. Sorry English is only to be relegated to a language like literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #783f04;"&gt;Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin insisted today there will be no leeway for schools to continue using English to teach mathematics and science despite sustained pressure from parents’ groups. The deputy prime minister told reporters today that allowing schools to choose whether to stick with teaching science and mathematics in English (PPSMI) or convert to Malay would result in a “mess”. “There are teachers who are not good at English. So what is the use? Parents’ aspirations won’t be met,” Muhyiddin said &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #783f04;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have three ethnic languages in your school system, does it not reflect the national education policy is a HUGE BIG MESS huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are so insistence on BM for Science and Maths, why is there a distinction and double standard that residential schools are allowed to use English Language as their medium of instruction?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why don't the Chinese and Tamil schools be allowed to use their respective language even up to tertiary level? Why are these two ethnic schools students required to shift from their mother tongue to BM and not to English?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The blame on the demise of the value and importance of the English Language in schools is the doing of the government, the messy education policy that allows THREE languages in the school system and disallowing ENGLISH as an option!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are private institutions willing to start schools that use English as a medium of instruction, will it be banned? After all, what is the difference between a school that uses English medium and one that uses Chinese and Tamil?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are we favouring and giving millions to perpetuate and expand Mandarin and Tamil language schools and not allow for English language schools to be set up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To PAGE and all those parents who are being pragmatic in our global world today, go and set up a school where English is the medium of instruction and ask the government if you are allowed to do so. Then you will know how MESSY the Education Ministry and Minister is. And you can be assured they will NEVER be able to give you a rational answer of why they can ban your English medium schools citing the piece of social contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If it's about a piece of paper to legalise it, isn't the solution to legalise it than stick to a pre 1960's agreement?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concerned parents are not being selfish but are thinking for the future of their children and the nation too. Should we label them traitors or racists just because they want the best for their children? If they are confident their children will have a better advantage in any of the language based schools, they would have really shut up and believe the government knows best right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the government does not know what is best for the nation except for their respective political survival. To these race based politicians, their belief and thinking is "English gets you nowhere and BM, Mandarin and Tamil gets me the votes!" Never mind if their children are not even enrolled in the national school education system? They are for their own political survival and if their voters' children can't get a job, they can go finger pointing at other races for depriving them of justice, equality and fairness in job opportunities and what have you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, religion and race and a high dose of politicising everything is the norm and the cultural DNA of the society, being called 1Malaysia today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The English language is seen as a foreign element and even a colonial tool to try and wrest political power and control from those who think themselves sons of the soil. The English language is seen as a new form of colonialisation and stripping away the purity of the bumiputraness or the MCA-ness or MIC-ness of the respective political parties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Children and graduates are being scolded if they can't speak English well and they have been reminded, told over and over again they must improve their English. How? By being super students during the English language class alone and to do it only after schooling hours huh? After all, the kids can only speak English after school hours, so the government is letting an outside school environment as the teacher of English for the kids, is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is this stupid remark about no suitable English speaking teachers to teach the language so forget it huh? It is not that the teachers were asked to teach English based on a flip flop tomorrow switch decision is it? The answer is typical of the government where civil servants who can't do the job continues to be pampered, given raise and even bonus - just to fish for votes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the Education fellows ask if those teachers who want to teach in English be allowed to do so? Is he generalising? Are teachers that incompetent? Is he humiliating the teachers? Or the teachers are a bunch of incompetent educators?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the teachers can teach in Bahasa Melayu there is still no assurance the kids are going to be taught the right mathematics and science too? Ask the lecturers and they will tell you the kids have no understanding of basic maths or algebra or calculus? So is it the language or has it got to do if the teachers themselves are competent subject specialists?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Language is one of the medium to express thought, ideas, creativity and so on. Understanding a subject and able to communicate it so that others can understand it too is a different thing together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the teachers are great speakers of BM, are the teachers competent in the subject itself? Same goes with any teacher who teaches in any language. Ask students in colleges where English is the medium and many can tell you their lecturers have no understanding of what the subject is or the students can't understand what the lecturer is teaching!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if the teacher speaks beautiful Bahasa Melayu when teaching History or Civics, is the subject matter correct, factual and balanced?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution of parents who wish their kids to excel in English and study overseas and have an edge over the smart kids who speaks excellent BM is to save more money to teach their kids English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real crux of the matter for each student at the end of the day is when he seeks employment and in the interview the employer tells him "I am sorry, your English is not up to mark for the job", he will know who have failed him, the education system, the parents or the politicians or himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing the MESS of our education system, the students are left on their own really to pick up a language that will give them a better edge when he starts work. Unless he or she wants to be a civil servant or a party member of the political parties that is the cause of the MESS of the education system, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the government is truly concerned and want the national language policy to work and stop using Japan, China, Germany, France, Italy, South Korea or even Thailand as an example, the government should insist all submissions, foreign contractor workers, foreign companies and every communication in BolehLand be mandated in Bahasa Melayu. Don't trade or give licence or have any business with ANYONE including foreigners who refuse to use Bahasa Melayu in contracts, legal agreements, trade credit papers, computer programmes, even instructions for airplanes, military aircraft, household items, telecommunications, everything following what the above countries have done. Including ending Mandarin and Tamil schools. And don't allow religion to exist if they don't use BM too right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would shut everyone up including PAGE from trying to turn history back so it seems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the government willing to nationalise Bahasa Melayu and put a stop to all these nonsense and endless debate about the language to use to teach our kids huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the BN government can't take this option or want to, then stop making excuses and make yourself looking like fools! You are the cause of the MESS. Is that too difficult an English word to understand, huh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-6853073543881656730?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/6853073543881656730/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=6853073543881656730&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6853073543881656730'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/6853073543881656730'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/english-gets-you-nowhere-bm-gets-me.html' title='English Gets You Nowhere BM Gets Me the Votes'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-9023913956093866692</id><published>2011-10-28T01:40:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-29T15:46:02.749+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Government'/><title type='text'>So Many Creepy Stuff This Halloween</title><content type='html'>The end of the month beckons this 'haram' celebration at least in BolehLand of celebrating all things connected with the devil. It's that part of the month and year, when ghouls, evil spirits, the zombies, the undead, walking dead and dead ducks are said to haunt the terra cotta and send all kinds of chills, fears and damnation to the normal humans on earth. Often those ordinary humans are the ones who get bitten and sucked dry by vampires, eaten by zombies, get heart attack from frightful ghosts and sleepless nights due to the unceasing haunting and foul attack by the devil and his minions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might think that some of us take it so seriously, we are willing to spend a fortune to behave like a devil. And we know devilish acts are done by evil people, those restless spirits wandering the land and bring pain, misfortune and sufferings to the common folks who are struggling each day to pay for food and getting by each day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And come Halloween, the ordinary folks grown thin by lack of sustenance, depressed seeing the land wasted because of the devils and ghost and evil spirits doing, get bitten, sucked, chain sawed, knifed, burned, scorched and endure all kinds of pain and suffering inflicted by these dark forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But some people think this Halloween and spook is some private entrepreneur invention out to make quick easy bucks squeezing from the ordinary people who just wanna have fun from the ordinary mundane life and struggles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the shivers and fear is not because of Halloween in BolehLand. Actually the spooky things are caused by the devils and evil spirits lurking the corridors and halls of power. The things that are causing BolehLand folks to feel they are the walking dead, their lives sucked out of them so much so they wonder about without any meaning to existence - are those devils and evil people who in the name of politics, race and religion are doing all kind of evil acts against the common people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the evil descending on BolehLand are bit the fellows who are celebrating Halloween. But by a group of fellows who keep telling us they are the holier than thou people, they know what is best for you and they know how best to use and spend your hard earned money you give them through taxes, taxes, taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad omen that ordinary BolehLand folks are experiencing are not because of Halloween. It's the action of ordinary fellows, who assured us they are servants and we the masters but have manged upon gaining power turned into being Gods, emperors, little napoleans and hitlers, some even defender of a race, sun, moon, sky and earth with lots of help from certain provisions of a piece of man made edicts called the Constitution!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading the Budget and the Auditor General's (AG) Report are the reasons why so many creepy stuff is inflicting BolehLand during Halloween week! The Budget is already sending shivers down our spine with the staggering debt that is going to suck the life out of us by having to pay taxes for government excesses and popularity actions. The so called 'goodies' are like psychotic pills and drugs given to us to make us feel a temporary high and good feeling than think of all the worries having to pay utang or there is no real money to spend at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AG's report is gadzillion times more scary than the macabre ghost stories reruns, being shown on Astro to set us on a spin chilling horrible ghastly feeling this Halloween. Come to think of it, the AG is also a rerun of all the evils that keep repeating itself and surfacing like the evil spirits and ghost each Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the creep, foul stench and evil that are inflicting pain, anguish, horror, nightmares and fear among BolehLand folks are not Halloween related. It's from the Budget and the AG's Report. The things that one gets and feel reading what is written in the Budget and reported in the AG's Report is far worse than Halloween. And a great difference in terms of fear too. Halloween is Hollywood fascination and creation to rake in the billions from the scary plots and themes of their movies. The story line is make belief and gives us a temporary jolt from the scary music, props and acting,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Budget Report and AG's Report are matters of facts with facts mixed with fiction about claims of glorious growth if the nation goes into debt, each claims of good deeds that scare the s*&amp;amp;% out of respectable thinking people who can tell that it will bring about dire consequences to the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ban by all means the Halloween celebration. Label and condemn it as devil worship and a whole lot of mambo jumbo rubbish? It's make belief than real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But our Budget and sister Economic Report and the AG Report arevbringing far lots of fear, depression and anxiety from all ordinary folks. The AG Report is a rerun of the horror story. In fact, the story line is as predictable as the Halloween celebration. Lots of devils and evil acts by devils, just like Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the Budget and AG Report at your own risks and suffer the consequences of what is contained in these two books. It's like a witchcraft manual, full of spells to make one think all is well and real, when in fact, it contains some of the worst devilish acts one can imagine being done and reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So save your money to buy your Devil's paraphernalia. Reading the Budget and the AG Report outdo all those Halloween paraphernalia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halloween is all hype and make belief. The Budget claims to be real but listeners think its all hyped up to the make the make belief real. The AG Report on the other hand, is real through the actions of thieves and devils working together to hype up exorbitant prices and costs on even cheap things like brochure racks or some office equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The AG Report speaks of plots and evil acts of excesses, waste, greed and even corruption! Same like those things connected with Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The way to end all this Halloween mumbo jumbo rubbish nonsense is to ban the whole celebration. Similarly the only way to prevent a repeat of the horrors and evil deeds reported in the AG Report and fairy tale make belief stories in the Budget and even the Economic Report is to do an exorcism, to cast away and get rid all those responsible for giving us the chills, horror, disgust and experience some of the most fouls acts done from&amp;nbsp; reading them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the rest of the world get sucked into spending hard earned money on this Halloween to have some fun, in BolehLand, the ordinary folks find themselves feeling getting sucked off their hard earned money they pay through taxes and made to feel like suckers from unscrupulous fellows called the government who are having fun sucking the nation dry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halloween is tricks or treat of basket of stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, the Budget and AG Report has a whole load of basketful of 'baskets' up to their tricks and dirty tricks performed by evil fellows treating themselves off the people's hard earned income!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next year Halloween will come and go again. In BolehLand, we can never escape the Halloween phenomena and cult because the Budget and AG's Report will come and go again and the same devils will go about their devilish ways to bring horror, miseries, loss of hope, negativity and doom to the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tricked or a threat is one and the same as far as the Budget and AG's Report are concerned. We should be banning those who did the tricks and threats to the ordinary folks than Halloween right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More comments on the spookie tales from the Budget and especially the AG's Report in later blogs. Or is it we are going to see another familiar reruns of predictable plots and themes we saw 30 years ago are reruns again today and for the next 30 years if the authors and characters in these two Reports are one and the same huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time to change the plot, storyline and the characters and author too huh? And this is not a trick question but more a treat to the common folks of BolehLand, if it comes true right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-9023913956093866692?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/9023913956093866692/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=9023913956093866692&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/9023913956093866692'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/9023913956093866692'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/so-many-creepy-stuff-this-halloween.html' title='So Many Creepy Stuff This Halloween'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-1524733317895494369</id><published>2011-10-26T22:11:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T22:11:37.662+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malaysia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race issues'/><title type='text'>Giving a Black Eye to Human Rights</title><content type='html'>Where does ole cops, top cops go after retiremet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most would likely try and do good deeds and confess to God for the many times they have not upheld justices but were holding the crown jewels of their political masters during service!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet others will be involved in charities and impart their experience and wisdom to make the community safer or build a better caring community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, one retired top cop decided to show his true self or rather resurrect the personality most suspect he has while in service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This can be seen by the remark the ex top cop did at a gathering that reported he liken the human rights movement to the communists movement! Read &lt;a href="http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/human-rights-movement-like-communism-says-former-igp/#my"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This ex cop is remembered by the nation for tying about the black incident, that even the then No1 leaders made a remark at the same level as our dear prosecutor at TBH inquest when questioning our Thai forensic expert that it was a self inflicted black eye, like the self strangulation of the unsolved death of TBH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So is our ex cop equating human rights activists as some communists thug masquerading under the human rights cause?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;His attitude and behaviour now should be taken into account if ever some researcher decided to research on the action of the force under his watch and whether those action against the opposition and non pro BN group, NGOs and even human rights organisations have been clouded by this attitude he just revealed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a person supposedly trained professionally to safeguard and protect those who exploit, harm and cause injustice to another human, to now reveal a somewhat disdain attitude towards human rights, it certainly gives a black eye to the human rights record of the government. And certainly leaves a black mark on his institution he was the head!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps, this law enforcer would protect at all cost the social contract that exploits another. His statement if reported correctly, "They (human rights) question the self-evident [social contract], as though they’re trivialising what was agreed upon.” reveals the racist mentality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the social contract is an immutable piece of legislation and if he has his way would put it as an edict in the holy book! That way, noone can even question it as it will amount to committing sedition and even treason right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the social contract must be protected at all cost and has been done all this while and ad infinitum we can supposed. Which means the human rights of those not in the group will likely be abused! The DEP has seen a fair share of violation of human rights of those not privileged or the chosen race!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To protect the social contract will also give those defenders every right to wallop anyone and lock them up. And arrest those who hold gatherings, be they candlelight or cycling to protest injustice and racism that have emerged as a result of the extremism from those protecting the 'social contract'!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If one cannot question the social contract and you criminalise anyone, including those given such privileges but wish to dismantle it, does it amount to violating the human rights of these people including those who feel marginalised and seeking justice to also be fairly treated?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ones who consider the social contract cast in stone and immutable, are the ones being blinded by this obsession that the rights and privileges are the reserve for only one race for perpetuity. Those whom you clobber and give them a black eye because they seek justice against the abuses of the social contract on the human rights of those not endowed by this man made privilege, are the victims of human rights abuse, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the devil has gone into this fellow to be at such a place, make such statements and connection? Is the present attitude and thinking of this ex top cop a recent one post retirement? With nothing to keep one's mind occupy as they say 'an idle mind is a devil's workshop.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or did this former top cop had this chip on his shoulder about human rights hidden away from the public's eye while serving as top cop? Did the prejudice attitude that 'human rights=communism' clouded his professionalism and blinded him from respecting the rights of all those humans especially those who questioned the social contract, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perkasa must feel elated to have by their side another champion of the social contract ready to violate the human rights of others who seek justice against the abuses and injustice being committed by those who take refuge under the social contract huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do ole top cops go and what do they do after their retirement? One such BolehLand ex top cop decides to make himself a kind of ole Hang Tuah warrior to deliver a black eye on the human rights record of BolehLand. We must really be proud and feel safe we have really dependable professional fellos defending our human rights right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-1524733317895494369?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/1524733317895494369/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=1524733317895494369&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1524733317895494369'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/1524733317895494369'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/giving-black-eye-to-human-rights.html' title='Giving a Black Eye to Human Rights'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-4727086229952702188</id><published>2011-10-26T13:54:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T21:03:42.920+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Celebrations'/><title type='text'>Open Your Eyes to the Light</title><content type='html'>The Malaysian way or is it we used to greet each other festivity gleefully, cheerfully and willingly wishing those celebrating the religious or cultural festival all good blessing, peace, joy, happiness and fortunes. In short, we sent our greeting with a sincere heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1Malaysia these days, the supposedly new concept to remind BolehLand folks we are not a homogeneous nation, festive greetings have taken on a rather reserved and sensitive tone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest is today's Festival of Lights, Diwali or Deepavali and Here's wishing all Hindus a Happy Deepavali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Kolam is often associated with Deepavali and when the festival approaches, there will be beautiful Kolams made and displayed. There will even be Kolam competitions which is becoming popular as one activity to spread celebrating our rich diversity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so, Kolam competitions are held and have been involved in one. It was a wonderful event, the intention noble to use the occasion to foster greater unity and understanding among Malaysians of each other cultural and religious festivities. We avoid using race but call everyone Malaysians. Of course there are those who will want to do a Muhyideen distinction by insisting they be identified along race first then nationality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contest had only one rule, a gender as well as ethnicity mix. That&amp;nbsp; was the easy part. So beautiful Kolams were created, most with the cultural elements of the community celebrating the festivity. There was hardly any religious symbolism. The Kolams colour schemes were dazzling and the themes ranged from conventional to the esoteric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hindus didn't feel one bit about the kolam designs. They were happy with the spirit of the contest and celebrating it the Malaysian way. It really brightened up the celebration in the company! What made it more meaningful was the bosses also joined in, handing away prizes to winners and also lighting a lamp to symbolise the event, Kolam contest and the celebration. Like in many corporate events the mobile phones, cameras, iPads and Tablets were out in full force to capture the atmosphere and the finished designs,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, you'd want to capture those Kolam moments and share it with the rest of the workforce. So the pictures were selected. Everything went well or so everyone thought everything went great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until a certain group objected to one picture being used, that of the bosses lighting the lamp. The argument is you can't according to your religion, be doing that! Okay, we know about the religion that does not believe in pluralism and that others are all pagan worshippers and infidels. And what is sad, silly and unbelievable (believable really) that that act which many even of that religion did see any religious significance but more a cultural symbolism did not defend this symbolic action against the religious group!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in today's 1Malaysian way of supposedly asking us to respect and understand each other's differences, we have applied the halal or is it kafir checklist when anyone who belong to that religion is seen celebrating other religious festivals must be watched that they do not perform any action deemed as recognising the existence of other Gods other than their Allah hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the morale of the story is, we cannot be assured or will feel comfortable celebrating our own religious festivities without being watched like some common criminal if we have caused oen of their believers to perform a ritual that conflicts with that religion. Given the recent church incident, we can be accused of proselytising or causing the faithful to weaken his faith if we ask that person to light a lamp, or joss stick or candle or give an ang pow to the 'lion' or hang a gift on a Christmas tree!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One wonders if it is worth the trouble or to show one's sincerity, of inviting anyone from that religion to celebrate our religious festivities if there is going to be suspicions, fear and even a whole load of hypocrisy will surface with the kind of bigot mentality and intolerant attitude of those who think they are holier than thou!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, while we are still allowed to celebrate and invite our friends of other religious belief, go ahead and do so. We just have to continue to do so, until we find our celebrations being raided and the celebrants all criminalised, we will then know the true meaning of how this 1Malaysia policy has resulted in this type of fiasco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many believe this '1' thingy is about the power of '1' only a single entity has the right to existence, celebration and freedom of worship over others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even with this darker side&amp;nbsp; lurking always nowadays in everything other religions or race does, will the others and we be cowed into submission and be forced into submission?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we give in to these dark forces, then we do not know the meaning of the Festival of Lights or the symbolic meaning of lighting a lamp or candle or even a pelita!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Deepavali then to all Hindus. May the light shine on those souls and hearts that are so hardened with arrogance, pride and inhumanity and open their eyes and minds to the light and make them see that we are all one, one human race and one humanity which has nothing in common with this 1Malaysia thingy that is currently causing so much confusion to so many!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlicHyIJxIQ/TqeftYVpq1I/AAAAAAAACd8/zHE_e_U5Lpg/s1600/kol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlicHyIJxIQ/TqeftYVpq1I/AAAAAAAACd8/zHE_e_U5Lpg/s320/kol.jpg" width="313" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Drawn to the light!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-4727086229952702188?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/4727086229952702188/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=4727086229952702188&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4727086229952702188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/4727086229952702188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/open-your-eyes-to-light.html' title='Open Your Eyes to the Light'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tlicHyIJxIQ/TqeftYVpq1I/AAAAAAAACd8/zHE_e_U5Lpg/s72-c/kol.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-5263693423221625970</id><published>2011-10-23T19:29:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-24T09:58:07.592+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race issues'/><title type='text'>The True Sons of God</title><content type='html'>Those who know at least rudimentary history of religion, than only one that glorifies one religion and considers the others pagans, would have learned that every race wants to call itself the chosen one, the sons of God. But it is more the political leaders who lay claim to be descendents or sons or even God themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the priesthood, not related to a Christian meaning, will perform all kinds of rituals and pass edicts to glorify the ruler as God and what have you. And the race that believes itself as descendents or sons of God deserve to be given first choice, right and privileges over all the rest of mankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, we are not talking about the Jews, though these days we have a tendency to associate the chosen race as the Jews and label them all sorts of things, Zionists and some even think that they deserve the Holocaust. Anti Semitic attitude is just an excuse to blame the Jews for everything wrong than have really anything to do with them really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Bolehland, antisemitism under the guise of attacking Zionism, is very strong especially when it is connected with the Palestinian cause. And some of our fellows go into a frenzy when the Arab world starts their antisemitism war cry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is, when a race believes itself the sons of God or descendents of the Gods, they will want to be treated with respect and demand they be accorded that respect, priority, rights and privileges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, being the only country in the world that defines a race by virtue of association with a religion, a version of Zionism seems to be emerging if we are to read something odd from this report below from an online media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Perak Mufti Tan Sri Harussani Zakaria said the Malays are special because they are related to Islam, unlike the Arabs even though Prophet Muhammad was descended among them, but they are not necessarily Muslims."The Malay race is special from other races because they are related to Islam, where the Malays are Islam," he said during a speech at the Himpunan Sejuta Umat (Himpun) gathering at Shah Alam stadium today...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wonder what our Arab brothers and sisters have to say about this disparaging remarks hah? Now we know why non Muslims and other races have a lot to fear in BolehLand! And we are being told to fear PAS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Mufti is like declaring some perfect sons of God race hah! Well we need to thank the man made piece of paper for bringing about this kind of&amp;nbsp; 'Zionist' mentality huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a statement makes the race a godly race we can supposed then eh? Or the Mufti's race more Arab than the Arabs huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you are a godly race and sons of God, surely your MUST BE GIVEN AND ACCORDED with rights and privileges right? Just like what we learn in history of those god kings and race. But then it depends what kind of history our generation learns these days. Perhaps they are being taught about the supremacy of one race by virtue of its association with a religion huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the case is surely closed, now that finally BolehLand has declared how special one race is and since they are about the only race that can claim to be the true sons of God, noone can dispute their right to rights and privileges and using the sword to vanquish anyone who dare to touch one hair of their brothers and sisters. And worst things befall those who even dare to convert one right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we know why there is such a rush and need to rewrite our history syllabus? We hope that when our smart local educated archeologist or genealogists trace the descendent of the Perak Mufti's race, it will bypass Kerala, Cambodia, South African, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Yemen and trace it all the way to the descendents of the Caliphate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It won't be surprising our historians and scientists will even outdo the Da Vinci Code and trace the Perak Mufit's race and descendents all the way to ehmmm, your guess is better than mine, hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now since the true origin of the race has been declared, the rest of pagans and infidels will have to kow tow and bow down in subjucation to the sons of God right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After this declaration, we wonder if those other lost souls and stateless race will want to take on a new race identity and declare themselves true sons of God and enjoy all the rights and privileges!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, BolehLand government including whoever becomes the government must find lots of billions even trillions of ringgit to hand out to the expected increase in explosion of this race as we are sure everyone wants to be called sons of God too right? After all, you get free handouts and government protection and your life on earth and in heaven is guaranteed!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bolehland invented the word 'shioksendiri' like mamak eating outlets. This Perak Mufit has raised the shioksendiri stature to a godly state! He has found that Plato universal chair of the definition of his race as well as shioksendiri too, hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don't earn respect or earned the right to be called special by changing definition or trying to be holier than others please!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So with this new found trait, we wonder if our Perak Mufti will shoo off those Wahabi guardians of the Holy City and declare himself the rightful son of God to be the rightful guardian of the Holy cities as well as rule over the rest of the faithful huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the Arabs are more tolerant and accept the fact that an Arab can worship any God and not feel ostracized or&amp;nbsp; send to reeducation camp or constitutionally make them second class citizens if they are followers of other religions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we thought that the Jews are the sons of God? We now have two races who have declared themselves special sons of God who deserve their own place and space. We must feel sorry for the Palestinians, no?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In BolehLand, we have the habit, at least some leaders and ultra right wing fellows, to blame the Jews for all the woes they, i.e. the BolehLand folks face, on the Zionists and Jews. With our Mufti's declaration of the discovery of the sons of God and special people and race in BolehLand, we wonder if the woes afflicting Tanah Melayu is really Jewish caused eh?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;YAHMEH!!!&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6146534476083939028-5263693423221625970?l=yah-meh.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/feeds/5263693423221625970/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6146534476083939028&amp;postID=5263693423221625970&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5263693423221625970'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6146534476083939028/posts/default/5263693423221625970'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://yah-meh.blogspot.com/2011/10/true-sons-of-god.html' title='The True Sons of God'/><author><name>jonathan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803312214871070</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_Uyy1c96s4A/TqOuWxjDTiI/AAAAAAAACcU/FUa0Uc02N6c/s220/jon1%2B%25282%2529.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6146534476083939028.post-7389090324917279524</id><published>2011-10-23T17:23:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-24T18:19:58.969+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Social issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics and Polluticians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Media'/><title type='text'>Leaders Shamefully Molesting Our Children</title><content type='html'>This latest episode of using children for political aim is a sign of the sickness that has befallen BolehLand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if the adults are going at each other throats is not enough, we have to drag children into our dirty political games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what is sad, is the leaders are also keeping themselves embroiled in the controversy. Instead of leaders closing rank to stop exploiting and molesting our kids and subject them to such disgusting adult behavior, we have them encouraging others to join in flogging the poor kid! What kind of society are we living in?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of asking all those who have made malicious allegations against an innocent child to apologise, reprimand them or incarcerate them, the leaders including their MSMedia are all trying to justify that the allegation is permitted and if one needs to clear one's name, just file a police report!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's Sunday Times' editorial &lt;a href="http://www.nst.com.my/nst/articles/22shamak/Article/"&gt;Pot Calling the Kettle Black&lt;/a&gt; is the MSMedia using its clout to also attack the poor kid insinuating that too bad kid, if you think someone has spread lies go make a police report. Meanwhile, in the name of democracy and freedom of speech we will make allegations against anyone, yes?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we saying to allow the issue to boil over and scald everyone including scare the innocent young is encouraged because it's a game of pot calling the kettle black? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we saying that we need a police report to investigate the case when clearly the victimised have denied them publicly? Are we saying the police, MCMC will act only if there is an official report? Didn't they act on a mere less than 150 character tweet before huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have these institutions not acted on mere heresay and postings in blogs? Why the hesitation this time when it has gone viral and the world has come to know about it. Are we saying it's good global publicity for us, why kill it with an investigation huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making allegations is now the new style of those who wish to dictate the actions of the police. You make an allegation and if you are a pro BN and UMNO blog or person making the allegation, that is the fastest way for you to direct the police including the MCMC, MACC and all those institutions starting with M including Majlis Agama this and that will at once sniff and take the bait and pounce on the person or persons the allegation is directed to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the subject of this allegation is a kid and whose sin is the father is an opposition and threat to the BN government that the authorities are slow or not bothered to take action against those making and perpetuating the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or are the security institutions a wee bit careful not to at once call the kid in and interrogate the poor kid because instead of questioning those who make the allegation, the victim is being harassed? Sounds familiar eh? If a police report is made, perhaps the father knows it means subjecting the son to being hurled up and questioned on the allegations! And based on past incidents of the outcome of investigations, it is certainly a very scary thought to subject the poor kid into right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if those being victimised and others connected to the allegations have denied them is not good enough. So don't be surprised if the poor kid is called up and interrogated and will be traumatised for life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the persons making the allegations get scott free. In fact, even getting top leaders implicit and tacit support!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We wonder if allegations against the family of BN leaders will not evoke immediate super fast action from the security apparatus to track, hound and pounce on the person or persons making the allegations!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for a BN leader caught with his pants down to even compare the kid case to his is really sickening and way way off the mark right? It should not even be connected or related!!! Are we being told the actual act bears the same gravity of sin and punishment deserving as an allegation that has been denied by those being accused off huh? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So once again, the double standard by the government is being applied, this time at a kid!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What hypocrisy the government tells the whole world that we are disgusted and decry child prostitution and slavery when we can't even handle this clear case of blatant lies against a kid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seems molesting children is now the new game to gain political popularity and weapon to destroy your opponent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still no word from the Women Ministry and even 1Malaysia to seek for a stop as well as investigation into tormenting kids to such humiliating actions. Didn't the government and the Madam Welfare Minister once slammed the opposition for involving kids in some cycling protest? Why is this case different?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our leaders and those irresponsible adults including the MSMedia are worst that the indifferent people in that tragic kid death case in China where noone bothered to stop to help the child bleeding and hurt after being run over by two cars!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we or the police, Women Ministry, Minister Rais, 1Malaysia even our FLOM going to just stand by when adults start to exploit and molest our kids with such allegations and say noone made a police report and noone is hurt yet so what is the fuss, is it? Are our leaders telling us it's just an allegation what, what is the fuss, already those who have been wronged have confessed the allegation is untrue. NFA case closed huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are the religious bodies, the Majlis whatever and even the other religious leaders all being spectators while a kid is being run over and over again by leaders, bloggers even the MSMedia and made to be a victim in this ugly bid for political power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we saying all is fair game to gain power? Are we going to have a tit for tat revenge and use kids to prove we are holier than the other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not even sad these days when we do not even question our moral behaviour or ethics in our bid to gain power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The supposedly million holy believers march is fighting imaginary enemies and ghosts during a spooky time called Halloween.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we so obsessed with saving our own souls and that of our brothers and sisters and disregard those not of your own faith and these pagans or child can go to hell or rot in jail for all they care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So who is being hypocritical? Those who oppose using children and subjecting them to such treatment? Or those who spread the allegations?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have sadly, oh perhaps we are even told we should not be sad, degenerated into animal behaviour and a very immoral unethical society. Our behaviour is such that there need not be any apology at all anymore. When foreigners ask me why we seemed so obsessed about halal food and conversion, there hardly is any more rational reasons to explain anymore right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have gone to the dogs with our bitchy behaviour is the most appropriate reply hah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The leaders are telling us if you are not with us, you are against us so don't expect any sympathy or help from us. In fact expect more allegations and humiliation and attack from me and my buffoons?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We or rather the political leaders are all so drunk for power and win votes that they are willing to indulge in the lowest form of unethical and immoral behaviour to molest our children!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are the NGOs, where are the parents, where are the teachers in rising up and say to our leaders and government especially - Stop killing and molesting our children!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we can't depend on 1Malaysia or the Education Ministry or the Women's Ministry, or the government to protect our children, are we going to be resigned to be treated with such disdain and humiliation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are we not angry at all at how we have degenerated to this level? Who should be blamed? Our children?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speak up and it is time, civil society ask all our leaders to stop practicing double standards. The save your religion against conversion action is not about saving anyone's religion. It is just giving a warning to other religions to be careful and to show whose God is more power and have government protection, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do those leaders really believe one religion is being threatened while others are not? Or that conversion is only a one way traffic? Or that only one God and one religion deserves protection while others sorry too bad huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Same too that children of one political party or race or religion deserves protection while others can get molested, raped and perhaps deserve to be run over twice because they are less human than the privileged chosen ones, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stop molesting our children! Shame on all the leaders, the MSMedia, those self righteous people and religious bigots!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we adults are bent on killing each other, can we not spare the kids or are we turning them into child warriors to begin harbouring hate towards another child or adult?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If citizens want to gather and protest the disgusting behaviour of our leaders and those who molest children will they be branded hypocrites and be denied a permit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If citizens of other religons want to gather and protest against religious intolerance and discrimination, does it mean they are committing sedition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BolehLand has descended into a huge animal kingdom where herd mentality and gregarious behaviour is the order of the day. Our brains have gone elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us not degenerate into the level of
