Malaysians!

Racial unity in our country? Who are we kidding? We are united in arms but not united in heart. As long as there is a special privileges then there is no balance. When there is no balance there is no unity.

Well recently i stumble upon an article that stated that we need to implement a 'special' subject to teach about racial unity in schools. Bullshit... so when did the pendidikan moral went down the drain? well since its already damn bloody hard to pass the freaking paper. Now they want the kids to study about racial unity? what are we going to teach them? We must respect other race. We must learn to love other race... We know what to do... but that doesnt mean we will do it. Tell me how many things we learn in school is implemented in real life now?

For me the way to totally imply racial unity amongst Malaysians wont need to be in the books. It have to be cultivated in the mind. The house... especially the parents and the teachers and the leaders. Simply dont acknowledge races in the country. Do not even bring up an issue about race. Malay, chinese, indian... why cant we just be labelled as Malaysians? We do have different names so what?!

If we want to segregate races might as well we go along with the dialect and origin factor. Why? Because in one race itself is already divided into so many segments, the indons, the Kelantanese, the sheikhs, the Kadazans, the Ibans, the Hokkien, the Hakka, the Teochews, the Bhramins, the ceylonese, the Singhalese, the Malayalams, the sikhs, the sakais, the babas, the portugese, the chindians etc etc etc... just look at this... there is so many segregration but how come they still stay together? because we are one... No matter how dark or how light our skin are, or how strange or how weird our customs and religions are, end of the day all of us still bleed the same colour, we still have to earn a living, nothing special about that.

So why do we need races again?

abolish race and start as one race, the Malaysians!!

US Dollar going to collapse?

Recently I have read an article from Hal Turner, host of one of the most controversial radio show in New York, USA until it was shut down under pressure for its contents. Well now he has came up with a blog where you can read here. He recently wrote a spine chilling information about the US dollar.

I would like to quote from ewoon's blog

"He is, if you like, the equivalent of our Matthias Chang who is no bigot unlike Hal himself. The only probable common trait both share is their passion for deciphering future events that are overwhelmingly negative and life-affecting. And for their honest efforts both have similarly suffered the reputation of being often called “mad man and harbinger of bad news.”

It is believed in speculation that the North American region has came up to something that can protect the country by adopting what Euro is doing by creating a new currency called the Amero (as seen in the picture above). This is to replace the US dollar IF it collapses. Do not think that the event that is about to happen to the US Dollar will not only us. The world's economy is running with it. When one goes down... a chain reaction of things will happen. We will be affected! Being ignorant means killing ourselves. This might or might not be true but the chilling fact behind the article posted by Hal send shivers to my spine. The fact that what followed after the collapse starts to look like the movie Doomsday or V for Vendetta.

Gonna take a quote from Hal's article of this

"When this collapse happens because the government is totally broke, the welfare checks will stop. Almost immediately thereafter, civil unrest will erupt and we know who will be doing that. . . . don't we? Now you know why Barak Obama is being pushed so hard for President. The powers-that-be know what's coming and they want a black man in the White House with the hope he can control "his" people. It won't work. They'll just call him an Uncle Tom or an OREO cookie and then go on their merry way to rape, rob, pillage, burn and kill. In fact, to prove I'm right about the Obama situation, check out what VP candidate Senator Joe Biden said this past weekend. Biden 'guaranteed" that Barak Obama "will be tested by an international crisis within his first six months in power and he will need supporters to stand by him as he makes tough, and possibly unpopular, decisions." Telling us all that we're going to lose 90% of the value of our life savings sure will be unpopular. I wonder if the Secret Service agents who lose their life savings too, will bother protecting Obama from assassination; or might they kill him themselves? After all, the Zapruder film proves the secret service agent driving John F. Kennedy in Dallas, turned around and shot him in the head. That's why his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, tried climbing out of the back of the limo after it happened! She saw who shot her husband. It happened once, it can happen again!"

So what is exactly gonna happen? god knows! Are we gonna listen to this paranoid white supremacist? or are we going to ignore everything? All I know is that we are going to see many interesting things happening in months to come. 2009 wont be a smooth one...

Finding our roots

Its true a nation is indeed and in need to evolve and move forward. But what ever we've done we have altered and skewed our vision as a nation when we first started.

"Akan kekal menjadi sebuah negara demokrasi, yang merdeka dan yang berdaulat serta mendasarkan kebebasan dan keadilan dan mengkekalkan keamanan di antara bangsa"

Which translates...

It is said that we will be a democratic country which is independent with sovereignty. Also based on freedom and justice to maintain peace among races.

So what are we doing??? Fighting among races? we may have different skin tone but we are from the same family. What is with the grudge? what is with all this hatred? we need to wipe it off our mind. Teachers, parents and most of all... our LEADERS! Remember why our forefathers fought so damn f*cking hard to get our freedom. What we have today, what we eat today, where we stay today is fought so hard by our forefathers and we do not have the rights to dismantle the country they build.

51 years... 51 freaking years we live together... why our leaders live together? I really hope we can walk together hand in hand as Malaysians to build on what our forefathers fought for and prove to the world that we Malaysians no matter what drama our leaders are in will stand hand in hand united and harmoniously!

LETS MAKE THIS DREAM TRUE IN MALAYSIA!

Where is the justice? Where is the freedom? The famous "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King. This is the moment our country needs. No difference in race, religion and people. We are one. We can take this historic speech to apply to our country too.


"I refuse to believe the Bank of Justice is bankrupt"

"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

We cannot walk alone.

And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: "For Whites Only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And so let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.

Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.

But not only that:

Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.

From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

A little of this and a little of that

How can this happen? the fuel price dropped twice and yet nothing dropped? Well its not surprising that the price of consumer goods or foods have just stopped. Just up up up no down down down. The petrol price raise 10sen per liter their food raise 10sen per plate! incredible! So now I really wonder should I venture into my own business and start selling things with extravagant prices. Sad to see this. Really.

The cost of living in KL is just so high. How can a cup of normal coffee cost RM1.50? madness!! No wonder the mamak stalls are now sprouting all over KL. You dont see lots of mamak at other town besides KL or Penang. Why? coz ppl there wont be willing to pay crazy price for something that is not worth it. They rather go home and make one cuppa for less than half the price! The last time i had a cup of really cheap drink was 2 years ago at PJ Old Town near Jalan Penchala. One cup of 'Teh o ais' and one cup of 'teh tarik' cost me the total of... ONE cup of teh tarik at the more commercialised MAMAK. But since the government build a proper stall for them and provide them with a FIX electricity the price started to chase the others. Now one cup of 'Teh o ais' is RM1.20. In some kopi tiam, a cup of warm/ice water cost 50sen!!! wahlao eh! 50sen for warm water. They sell 3 cups already manage to cover to cost of the whole container of water. Imagine how much water is there in there. Just have to sell all of that cups of water they can generate 3-4 times the cost of it. Sometimes i wonder is the ice water even cooked?!!

Some prices of food is even more ridiculous! Normal fried rice is RM4.00. and to add a fried egg it cost an extra Rm1.50!! WTF? so expensive ar the egg? the cooking oil also use recycled cooking oil!!Madness. The food quality is not even good. Honestly, the quality is inconsistent. For one moment its too salty, then one moment too oily and sometimes... its just too crappy!

There was once I had a meal with a close friend of mine, he ordered a maggi goreng. Guess what he found in his maggi goreng? a ripped section of the flavouring packet. We told them the situation and ask the person in charge to meet us, he was like so reluctant and didnt even know how to handle the case! The only thing he said is, he wont charge us for the price. The fella that cooked the food dont even dare to come out and instead gave the look of dissatisfaction! You did a mistake and gotten angry??! We warned them but yet the service still sucks and the food... lets just not go there. Thank god I dont eat there anymore!

Sometimes I wonder should I start boycotting some of this crappy service Kopi Tiams and Mamak stalls or not. Charges extravagant prices and dont even have the slight courtesy to give at least a decent service! They kept on forgetting that there are so many other Kopi tiams and mamak stalls. U might offend one client but the chain reaction will eventually kill your business for sure! one by one... slowly all will leave.

So lets drift back to the fuel situation. I am glad that the price has dropped. At least now I can save an extra bit more of money. Just that I really hope that all this consumer goods and foods will be kind enough to look into this and drop the price! I know its going to be tough as before this most people's pay was raised and the transportation cost was raised and the rental was raised so on and so forth. But something have to be done. I hope something will be done!

nothing better to do

Watching the country's political scene is like walking in the mud. Can see the destination but its a bitch getting there. Honestly it is almost to the extend most of us just couldn't care anymore.

Its like a soap opera... becoming stale and boring after a while. The hype and energy that we saw before the election and right after the election has died down. Just one or two interesting episode but right before we reach the climax it was ended like a typical harry potter movie. How disappointing.

With the current economic avalanche going on around the world. We really are more concerned on keeping our jobs rather then focusing on the bishi and bashis of our government. We got our own rice bowl to take care. So its time the government, opposition or ruling please help your people. Put aside things that dont even matter and think of how can we help and hold our country together!

Radio24 speaking for who now?

Recently there was a radio station that was questioned by the government due to one topic that was stated 'sensitive' ... the article written at Malaysia Today website reporting that "Report on govt radio station, Radio24 before action to be taken" Is just ridiculous.

The topic was stating "Which is more important, the transition of power from Pak Lah (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak or a reduction in the fuel price?"

Well for my opinion, its not disseminating negative matters but more of what really the PEOPLE think. Its not all bad you know. There were callers that sided the government and some sided the fuel reduction. Its a neutral topic from where I see. Its just questioning what the people wants. If you cant accept the fact then you dont belong on that sit. This is constructive criticism. Its a good thing... we can learn from it. LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE FOR ONCE!

It is stated that the radio station is under a news agency that is Government based but that does not mean the station is bound to question things that is true? Its a MALAYSIAN radio station and not the GOVERNMENT radio station.

It also stated that this will cause young people to not respect the government... well there was a saying "Respect is earned and not forced, to get respect is to respect others first!"

Information Minister stated "If you do not agree with government policies, don't be a government employee. Resign,"... Mind you, the radio station is privatized. The station is a subsidary of the news agency and not directly under them. The employees does not get any government benefits... So erm... which part does it stated that they are a government employee? INFORMATION minister? where you get your info from la?!

We love our country and hoping that all will be well and not with the chaotic situation right now. It is just wrong to point the finger around when you yourself done some wrong too. Admit it... no point hiding stuffs when it is already known.

Think of the people! THINK OF THE PEOPLE!!! THINK ABOUT MALAYSIANS!!!! and not think about yourselves!

Untitled

New Government, Old Government... As long as it is a good Government! Its no harm to replace the old with the new but if the old is better then the new then why change?

Not in this case, with the recent arrest of Seputeh MP, Teresa Kok, prominent blogger Raja Petra and newspaper reporter Tan Hoon Cheng, where they were all placed under ISA for National Security threat... WHAT??!! All Teresa said was just to tune down slightly the mosque prayer... what threat is that? All Tan Hoon Cheng did was report the thruth, isn't that what reporters are suppose to do? National Threat? Then what about former Bkt Bendera Chief Ahmad Ismail? Didnt his 'nice, slow and unthreatening' remark spark a massive National Threat? and where is he? He was able to make another 'smart' remark and not even being brought in under ISA. Instead he is just stripped of his power and allowed to walk and lay low... FANTASTICO!!

I do not want to see so many problems in our beloved Malaysia but why oh why are our leaders not doing anything? is it because of stubborness? massive ego the size of Jupiter? or just plain sore losers? In a competition there is alway winning and losing and IF you wanna win, win with pride and honour. IF wanna lose, lose with GRACE! accept the facts and access the problem and mistakes that caused your loss. Not trying to disrupt the winners and whine like a wuss. That is just plain punch below the belt. Giving 'smart' remarks, diverting attention or blaming foul play and hope to win the heart of the people will not work anymore.

We are in the age of information already la brothers ad sisters... we the people are smarter now, MSC status already. We know how to read la wei! Dont threat us like some dungus ok. We already know what is right and what is wrong now.

What we need to do now is to learn how to improve ourselves as a whole and move forward as a unified nation. One voice, one race, one nation. Lets make the 'Malaysia Gemilang', the 'Keranamu Malaysia" and the 'Malaysia Boleh' back to its glorious state!

Say it loudly and proudly "WE ARE MALAYSIANS, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, YOU CAN BRING DOWN ONE MALAYSIAN BUT YOU CANT BRING DOWN ALL" (taken and altered from Tupac's line)

WHAT THE F**K IS WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY?!

What the F**K is wrong with us??!! I just don't understand the nature of all this fighting amongst ourselves! What are all the leaders doing? Fighting around like small kids. BALIK la you all! You all don't deserve to lead us! the PEOPLE are just tired of all this ruckus! I AM TIRED of all this ruckus. OUR country started off as a unified nation of multi races and now? We are still a nation but not a unified one anymore. The SHELL or the 'what we think the world sees us' as a unified nation.

We are just gonna blow up and we are just a ticking time bomb! What is with all this races bullsh*t?! I am born and bred in this country and I am one with this country! Go home? Where is home? MY HOME IS MALAYSIA and not anywhere else! What the F*ck are you leaders doing? If you wanna fight take it outside and not drag is RAKYAT in with all your bullsh*t!

I never once say that I am of a specific race, I always claim myself as a Malaysian. I speak the manglish, I eat the local food. I LOVE my Jalur Gemilang. I even have one in my car on my dashboard! I watch my local football team Selangor play! I would die for my country and no where else! I have etch the name Malaysian in my heart and mind! HOW AM I NOT MALAYSIAN ENOUGH? F*CK YOU ALL!!! I am just so so so tired of this f*cked up situation!

I want a leader to listen and speak like a professional and lead us by example and not speak like a twat and show us the dark and ugly side of you. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK YOU DIMWEED!

RIP Bernie Mac

Bernie Mac
1957 - 2008

Today one is another to mourn for the world of comedy as they lost another of their shining Star. Bernard Jeffrey McCullough better known as Bernie Mac passed away from pneumonia this morning. I am truly shocked and he is one of the best stand up comedians ever. For one thing he is respected is he never uses the N word as most of other Black comedians frequently uses during their stand up routine.

Bernie you will be missed.


"I had a white guy tell me... he said, "Bern, why do black folks use the word 'mother-fucker?'" Well, I'm gonna break down what the word "mother-fucker" actually means. "Mother-fucker" is somethin' that black folks have been using for years. It's about expression. Don't be ashamed of the word "mother-fucker." Because the word "mother-fucker" is a noun: it describes a person, place, or thing!"

"There's no such thing as white-collar crime. And there's definitely no such thing as black-on-black crime. Crime is crime. Let me explain something to you. I don't care if you have a white collar or a tank top. If you rob me, I'm gonna whup your ass. "

Where is the limit?

Ever drive on our local highways and think how silly the speed limit rules are? by the way, have anyone actually follow the speed limit? Who does? and what makes your speedo meter so accurate?

I have once traveled with my dad encountered a cops saying that we have exceed the speed limit of 2 km/h. We were going 82km/h on a 80km/h zone... oh geez. Like 2 more km/h will make any difference. Moreover there have been lesser or no accident on that STRAIGHT road.

Have you even wonder where some places where the road is perfectly safe and straight have the most ridiculous speed limit, 60km/h!! and the most dangerous roads that have cliffs and bumps and curves allows you to go 90 or 110km/h??!! Kinda silly aint it. Some places they even expect you to drive at a speed limit of 25km/h! cmon! even my grandmother on bicycle goes faster then that! Who makes this rules??!! who sets this limit?

Well our country's highest speed limit is 110km/h. Thats our main highways the PLUSes, ELITEs, and many more. Then why do we actually make cars that can hit 220km/h? why dont they just tweak the cars to go only max 110km/h just like our motorbikes? Doesnt make sense aint it? If the cars are made to go max 220km/h or more that means the govt are actually in a way encouraging people to drive faster rite? If not why make cars that can go that fast? to show off?

Then what is the speed limit implemented for then? To avoid accidents? HEY!! heroes. Most road accidents are not from people that drive fast. You dont see any rich Dato with their SLKs or Harriers crash and die also. They drive at a almost unimaginable speed on the highways and still reach their destination safe and sound. Its usually those with Kancils or Saga's that bang on lorrys or lost control and crash into a ditch on... SMALL roads!! that causes the accidents. They should implement a intelligence limit on the road instead. Those who cant think and react to certain situation should not enter highways. Or those with a so called tuned-up-crap-car-thinking-that-its-a-super-high-performance-car-but- ended -up-as-a-8th-hand-1980's-normal-model-family-sedan-car- that-is-nothing-but-a-old-family-car- with -new-spoilers, skirting-and-weird-looking-crystal-lights on the road. This is the cars that should be speed limited!

Then again, they should implement driving fast on highways as a health hazard. Just like smoking. Put a sign right after the toll that says "Amaran dari Kerajaan, Memandu dengan laju merbahayakan nyawa" thats all!! If you are the dumb f**k that knows you got a crap car or a turtle like reaction dun drive so fast or else you will die! And if you drive fast and then ended up crashed and burned, its your fault for being careless. Then the cops or govt can say "We warned you but you are too dumb to listen!"

Driving fast will not only harm you but the people around you? Doesnt smoking does that too? doesnt just driving the car and releasing carbon monoxide too?

Or why not have this system where the fast lane have a min speed limit of above 100km/h only, so slow cars can you please drive on the middle lane where the max speed is 100 and min limit is 80km/h. and the slow lane is for those who drives the super long trailer that is really really slow or those that dont know the meaning of driving and enjoying the car ride. See? problem solved.

Thats what i think. But again its just me... who would listen to me??!!

Fuel price to drop?

Fuel price is dropping( HOORAY!! ) by maybe 6 sens! (WTF??!!!) Oh great like 6 sens gonna really help us so much! so practically if we calculate, its gonna be like 66sen difference from the last time! oh wow! great job in reducing. Like its gonna make any significant difference in the consumers wallet. Like what? We are gonna save RM 20 -30 per year? Oh give us a break la.

Even if the prices drop like the industry going to drop the prices. Food, products and raw materials gonna be the same price. Like they are gonna drop the price. End of the day 6 sens might be a HUGE difference in the BIG industries but to the people... its still almost the same. Its like 'Hey I am taking a huge slice of cake from you but no worries i wont take the cherries from it." What the F am I going to do with the cherry? Shove it up your A**es? Mien Gawd!

BTW why is everyone so serious? lets put a smile on everyones face!

The world is crumbling

Have you been watching the news lately? Something big and ugly is starting to creep out and most of us arent even noticing it yet. Yes we notice its minions but the big daddy of all is not out yet. We are all still in our honeymoon period. We still chill and spend and enjoy as if there is nothing wrong.

Well after reading Matthias Chang's article and reading ewoon's blog I've come to realise that there is not only a massive economy problem looming. That is just the minions. The big daddy-o is that its not only a economy recession but a massive world economy depression one that is worse than the one in 1929. YES, its a big matter! Experts are predicting a massive and I mean massive economy depression in months to come.

Scary? Its like watching a horror movie and when the background music softens down and we know the 'monster' or 'ghost' is gonna burst out but yet we are not prepared when its coming out. Well its all happening in the US but slowly and surely its gonna creep into our country and shock us when we least expect it!

What should we do? Plant vegetables? stock up our rice and can food? How long is this gonna last?

Well I guess we have to start to live like how our ancestors live. Day by day, and walk where the wind takes us. Got rice eat rice, got tapioca eat tapioca... got shit... ahhhh dammit!! shieat!!! or Perhaps we are moving back the the dark ages where we have to pillage and plunder what ever we have.

Then lets just zoom back at the current news on our front pages. Oh wait, we are still fighting among ourselves... fantastic! just great! Our leaders are still trying to fight among each others, whereas there is a bigger problem upon our doorsteps and we are not doing anything. (Are we? I hope so) Everything seems quiet now but its like the deep breath before the plunge.

So lets brace ourselves and hope that somehow we can survive this fall. And I really hope that IF we fall we will still be united to help country to stand up again.

United we stand, divided we fall.

Aren't we all just tired

So many mayhem and ruckus of the Government! What is going on here? a massive political mind games going on? Each of them blowing sucker punches to one another. For all I can say is, somehow the PEOPLE are tired of this. We ask for change of management in the Government but not change of peace and harmony to massive boxing match!

As there are so many more important things to deal with! Are we just a bunch of grown up corporate political KIDS?! Its like a game of police and thief! I tag you and now its your turn to tag me back! or perhaps just a bunch of kids get caught in a massive cat fight! Just look at the Dewan Rakyat meeting! Throwing words to each other like a bunch of sissy kids trash talking one another! I still remember I set foot at this very own Dewan Rakyat back in 2001 as a form 6 student trying to learn the political system of our very own beloved country. Honestly, I was kinda shocked at how our very own political leaders talk in the Dewan. We as a student are actually laughing at their antics. The trash talking of utter nonsense like "Apa bodoh bodoh? Ambil balik!" and followed by a few other supporters blurting out "bodoh la kamu..." Throwing this kind of words among each other. Secondary school society meeting looks more professional and matured than this!

Just look at the media and press. The 'tai-chi-ing' of responsibilities and the word war to one and other just sickens me. I for one rather read the sports section. At least my beloved football team, Selangor FC is doing some good. If I want some comic relief I now got two sections I can read. The COMIC section and if I am really adventurous I shall try to venture into the first few pages of national news.

One for the rakyat? This is not for the rakyat anymore ain't it? It is more of trying to gain more power and trying to sustain the power. Which is the real story already confuses the rakyat. All we want is just a PEACEFUL and HARMONIOUS life. We want to get on with our own life challenges and not be disrupted by all this.

For once let us be more professional and mature and deal with the issues at hand the correct and more appropriate way. There is one Cantonese saying my dad use to remind me every time

"Yhong yat pou, hoi fut theen hung,
Yan yat si, fung pheng wong cheng"

it directly translated as ,

"Move back a step, the sky is clear
Be patience and tolerate, there will be peace and quiet"

I've been living with this saying for most of my life and therefore I barely get into trouble with my OWN FAMILY AND FRIENDS! Ain't we all Malaysians family and friends? brothers and sisters? so why fight each other? why cant we build and love this family that we have fought so hard to have in 1957? In the words of my generation "CHILL LA WEI BRADER!!"

Here are the 7 things we need to learn and live by it...

1. Instead of being fault-finding, be grateful/ thankful

2. Instead of being grudging/ jealous, be appreciative

3. Instead of being calculative, be forgiving

4. Instead of being selfish, be generous

5. Instead of being self-defeating, be proactive

6. Instead of being critical, admire and appreciate

7. Instead of being impulsive, be patient

8. Instead of procrastinating, be optimistic

Well there is all I have to say for now. I really hope that this message can be reached to all my brothers and sisters in this country.

"Malaysia, on the other hand, is a diverse and complex country that wants to be modern. It needs to be governed like one." Michael Backman (Read his column here)

"It depresses me that Malaysia hasn't been more successful that it has and that it is still fighting the old fights of the 1960s" Michael Backman

RIP GEORGE CARLIN

My ever favourite stand up comedian George Carlin... may you rest in peace. I am sure you are now up in heaven and most probably having a cup of tea with jesus and looking down at us saying "Look at those f*ckers crying for me... I didnt know I touch all this people!"

May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008
May you rest in peace...

I dread the deaths of certain super-celebrities. Not because I care about them, but because of all the shit I have to endure on television when one of them dies. All those tributes and retrospectives. And the bigger the personality, the worse it is.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!

Do you know that global warming is at its critical stage? Everyone realises it but no body is really taking any action to it. Most people think that its just the environment change. Its ok... Think about it... is it really ok? Studies states that we have reach the critical point to save ourselves.

Why I say ourselves but not the world? Coz the world will live on... not us. We pollute the world the only thing that will die is not plants or the planet... its the people. We are practically killing ourselves by deforestation and industrialisation. All this is due to greed and neediness of the human kind. Petrol prices just shot up and people are still buying cars. Some have a few houses, more than one car, more clothes then they will ever wear, more food then they will ever eat or better said more shit that you can take. Why? coz we are greedy. More money more power more greed.

The world is a better place when we are not around. The other species are not doing any much harm why? coz nature has its natural cycle of doing things. But we humans come in and start doing shits that no one expected. The rise of the global temperature raises to its highest in its history in recent years. Hence alot of 'unnatural' phenomenon such as the recent floods, droughts and of course the most obvious hurricane Katrina.

The CO2 and Carbon monoxide and many other gases that we humans produce is ruining the ecosystem, the toxic waste has taken its toll on the water system, the mass deforestation destroying our very one life support machine that produces oxygen, the mega fishing industry killing the ocean's balance and the human waste such as plastics, Styrofoams and petroleum based products polluting the world. Why? coz of mass demands of the consumers. Globalisation has its good and bad. This is the bad side of it.

It is in only in the last few decares that asthma and cancer became a global plague of our society. Walk into any class room in a school and ask who has asthma? Probably around 30% of the kids will raise their hands. Ask anyone how many friends or relatives they know have/had cancer? according to the stats one out of three people will get cancer before they die. Why? it is due to the pollution of the water we drink and the contamination of the food we eat. There are many pollution aspect that affects the air, food and water we consume. So somehow we are killing ourselves.

The society have focused so much on keeping the economy growing, earning money to get more things and gaining land and properties, thinking all this will keep them alive... they are WRONG dead wrong. Economy does make the 'human world' goes around. It also helps keep a country going on. But have we all been blinded buy money that we forgotten that the very basic of life is from this world itself? It is to be alive... we have been so disconnected from nature that we don't even know what plants is what anymore. In recent research, it stated that humans can recognise 1000 different type of worldwide corporate logos and know less than half of the name of the plants around our living area!!!

What we need to do now is to stand up and start changing our mindset. We need to start thinking certain things when we are doing . For example:

1. Do I need to buy many of this or is one good enough for me?
2. Can this thing be re-used or recycled?
3. Will I be using this stuff always or is it going to be just lying there? (if lying then why buy it??!!)
4. I need to plant more plants.
5. Think of ways to use renewable energy instead of petroleum.
6. Make the tree your friend. Why? coz it gives us oxygen, its roots holds the soil together, its absorbs water to prevent flood, its gives us shade, it provides fertilizers to the ground with its dried leaves, gives us food, gives us wood, and it helps greens the earth!

Well some may think that all this is very hard to do coz of the price to start it. Well think about it... alot of things started off expensive (besides petroleum!). Eventually all prices comes down as more and more people produce it. Our political leaders should start taking environmental issues really really seriously, instead of fighting each other for power and area. Meddling around who got rights and who don't... when there are more serious and issues at stake. Why can't everyone put aside all differences and why can't we Malaysians stand together and be as one by starting to show to the world we are united to fight the common enemy... not the terrorists... but the environmental issues and fight for the future wellbeing of mankind... think about it... our grand children will one day say... "Dammit! why didn't they do anything when they already knew the problem!!! bunch of f*ckers la they all, only know how to fight"


SO PLEASE STAND WITH ME AND TOGETHER WE WORK TO SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT and OURSELVES NOW! NOT 20 YEARS TIME... NOT 5 YEARS TIME... NOW!!!

as in the words of Patrick Teoh... NIAMAH!!

we all gonna die liao still wanna fight among ourselves!

Petrol Price Hike?

As I started receiving sms-es after sms-es just moments ago saying that petrol will hike 80 sen by mid night today. All I can say is "WHAT THE F#CK???!!!". Although we expected that petrol price will hike but 80 sen? How can a normal person earning normal money paying this extravagant prices?

Why am I so pissed and frustrated?! Well as we know the public transport system in Malaysia especially the Klang Valley are sad to say CRAP! I can see some slight improvement but thats about it. The timing still sucks. Maintenance still sucks. The bus is smelly and dusty AND sometimes it smells like exhaust are pumping out of the buses air conditioning system instead of nice clean air. That is why we still prefer to take our own transport to certain places.

Why some country can do it and not us? It is because their country's transportation is organised or the country is cold! Take the UK for example. The subway is so darn complicated but it helps to commute their commuters to places with ease. Our country's weather is for one a killer. Walking one short distance under the sun is enough to wet a shirt.

Why am I still so pissed and frustrated?! Well, well, well, all the other product's price will hike up too. Already the inflation in the Klang Valley is so bad. Having a normal bowl of noodles in a coffee shop at the heart of KL cost me a hefty RM 6. A cup of kopi-o small cost me RM1.20!!! Even a cup of warm water cost 60 sens! So imagine when the petrol price hikes up??!! A bowl of noodles will cost how much?? RM7??! a cup of teh tarik cost how much? RM 2??? so have now all normal mamak stalls, kopi tiams or hawker centers became cafe's or coffee houses?

What are we going to face now? I think I am going to start riding my bicycle or perhaps take a motorbike license. Lining up in the petrol stations to pump petrols??? what for??! how much can we save? When will this madness end? sigh... gotta go... time to take a walk. long walk! All I can say is no matter how life will go on. Just that life will go on slightly harder for those earning peanuts for a living in a city of jewels.

Well, finally found this clip after a long time. Head of State tells the story of Mays Gilliam. He is an alderman of the local Washington DC area. After being fired from his post, Mays is surprisingly chosen as the party candidate for the presidency (after his party's original presidential and vice-presidential nominees die in a plane crash; their two separate planes crashed into each other) to run against sitting vice-president Brian Lewis. Assuming the election was already lost, the party decided to pick a likable but losing minority candidate to improve their chances of another politician taking the office in the next presidential election. Little did they know, slowly by slowly this local alderman won the hearts of the people by stating and acknowledging the daily problems that people face. And instead went against what the government stand for.

This show is really inspirational. Although its just a comedy, BUT what we can learn from this is that no matter how much the government talk one day a true PEOPLE's leader will stand up. I always believe there is still leaders with a pure and true heart out there! for this I salute you and support you all the way!

The Clip below is from the final debate from the film... enjoy

Proton's Saga

Well, after searching my pc and I found this file. Interestingly this came out long time ago. around 4-5 years ago if I am not mistaken. The hype generated when this came out. I was so excited that finally we are capable of challenging our Japanese counterparts (Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi etc etc...) in 'sports' performance cars. But yet I am now disappointed (honestly, the car look really wicked! I wouldnt mind spending the money on this car!). Well from the time I received this email till today EON or Proton has came out with 4 cars and trust me none of them even manage to give any of our Japs counterparts a single challenge. Worse of all, Proton even lost to our very own brother company, the supposedly 'second' car manufacturer in the country Perodua in sales. The allegedly follower is now the leader in our country. Well at least now we know that all the tides have changed. Not all leaders are capable of holding on long. Followers are capable of giving a challenge or topple the leaders IF they work hard enough.

Proton have the backing of the government hence they even hired our ex-PM as their advisor and yet they still produce cars that have 101 problems even before they reach the 1 year mark after buying. Power windows problem... central locking problems... squeaky suspensions.. etc etc with it all end up wit the saying "aiya, Proton wut... normal la.." Even the Savvy that have all the hype of the TUV German standard authority approved can't prevent the cars from failing to mount a single challenge to the Myvi of Perodua. Instead of giving a challenge they lost miserably... just like the likes of Newcastle or Liverpool in the EPL. TUV? I dont see the likes of Toyota's or the Mitsubishi's having need this to convince people to buy their car! and why only one car and not all the other cars? Since Proton are the "parent" company of Lotus... why cant we have Lotus to do the quality assurance? We 'borrowed' their technology but we cant borrow their assurance?! Cmon! Why cant we merge the two company together instead?! the Proton-Lotus... hahaha. Then the Proton name will gain so much more recognition! Well with all the Lotus technology the only highlight is... the Satria GTi. Is that all they can offer? Where is the heart and soul in creating a really good car? Are we just creating cars to earn money or just to get a market share? and forgetting the basic essentials of creating cars that really make people go "damn... I need to get one of those!"

After all the hype of TUV, Lotus, Citroen... there is still no fight. Even the recently launched Saga and Persona doesn't even give a mouth watering prospect. Saga well might actually help re-launch the Proton brand with their low price but is it good enough to give a challenge to the world market of automobile? So far no sound (aka problems, complains etc etc) from the car yet. Hope it can be as good as its predecessor the old Saga.

Its time we really do something about the Proton Brand before we die off and become just another "great" history of our country. At least in the near future we can tell our kids that we manage to drive a Proton when it was quite great! haha.

Proton... show us some love! please where is the Love? where is the looove?

Are you true enough?

The election is over. The votes have been cast. The leaders are chosen. They hype is dying down. So did we do the right thing? vote for change, yes we did and did it real well too. So now its time to see that did we do the right thing or not. The opposition has made their mark in this country by showing that the people have their powers too.

Back to the main question. Are they gonna stay true to their words? Are they going to perform? We know that Rome isn't built in one day. It takes time for a change. But are they going to serve the people like what they promised? Coz, they must really remember that we are the reason why they are there. The current MB case has already caused a stir. Just 2 weeks after the election and already this happens. What is going on in there? Not cohesive? So who is going to lead and who is going to follow? There is this line in the marines where they say "Lead, Follow or get out of the way!" So who is leading and who is following and who is getting out of the way?

As long as they work as different parties they will and I repeat WILL NEVER work in cohesion. Unless someone make a stand. Compromise? if there is compromise then there won't be any argument and debates. It is just normal human reaction. Everyone have their own opinion, everyone have their say. Different parties have their different agenda. There is no ONE unit. Be it the ruling government party or not. Even the ruling government are not cohesive. FOR THE PEOPLE? or for MY OWN PEOPLE? Can't we just share? Its like a civil fight. Just like brothers arguing on which football team is better and end up with a fight and only 'mommy' or 'daddy' can stop it. So who is gonna be 'mommy and daddy' for our country? End of the day all we people want is peace and harmony.

So now, lets talk about rights. Everyone have been arguing on who have the rights, its our rights, its our god given rights... bla bla bla yada yada. God given rights? Who in the blue heavens gave you this 'special' rights? No one have rights. No one is being given 'special' rights by the almighty up there. The only rights that the big guy up there gave us is the right to live. Well anyone can claim their rights. But is it right to claim your rights? As George Carlin said "Rights are imaginary, we made them up! just like the boogeyman... the 3 little pigs, pinocchio, mother goose... rights are an idea, they are imaginary" So who have what rights now?!

Like We say again and again, all the people wants is peace, harmony and a safe environment. We don't really give a rat's ass about what qualifications he have. All we want from a leader is to lead and listen to the people. TRY to do what the people request, simple as that. Why do we need to bring flags, logo and name to this. Just do what the people wants.

The opposition or the ruling parties really have to get their act together and stay true to their words if they are going to sustain for the next 4 years.

We are Malaysians!

our time has come

time for change? jesse jackson's speech on "our time has come"

FREEDOM

I found this movie speeches really inspiring. Its about time for change and freedom! check out the clips i put in here. Hope that it will inspire... will you fight?! IF WE UNITE WE CAN FIGHT TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION!!! TOWARDS FREEDOM!!!!!!



"Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!" - braveheart-


"Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone's death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat. There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot." - v for vendetta-

'X' marks the people

Here ye here ye! General Elections is looming! So who are you gonna vote for? where are going to vote? Are u voting based on the party or the candidate?

It is really disturbing to see all the game play and tactical assaults or more or less strategy play comes in when election is near. Just look at how certain places are beautified whereas the past 4 years pleas after pleas and complains after complains fell to deaf ear and suddenly now everything is done up. WTF? Have you noticed that in the past few months contractors are suddenly so damn hardworking where alot of roads have been miraculously mended and tarred? Playgrounds suddenly being painted and looks new? hmmm... Just like the old saying "If alot of roads are tarred... election is coming"

So I guess its true. I didnt really noticed this last time around as I was too busy playing my PS or my PC. Just that recently after coming out to work and started to take notice all this, it suddenly hit me that all this are just strategy to make us vote for the "right" person. So who is the right person? The one that says "ok, I will do it" but never does anything until few months near election or the one that says "what? let me make a phone call" and few weeks later the problem is solved?

What I am trying to say here is, NEVER let anyone influence you in making a decision. Remember, end of the day it is YOU that marks the 'X' on the ballot. YOU should choose the candidate that really helps you. Be it Chinese, Malay, Indian, Bai, Kadazan or what ever race, as long as he/she does their job. Remember this people you vote are the people that is going to represent you when you are in need. Dont just vote just because you hate the other guy. If you think that both the candidate doesn't suit you... just mark a HUGE 'X' across the whole form. That means you are not satisfied with both the candidate nominated!

DO THE RIGHT THING AND VOTE RESPONSIBLY!

hasta la victoria siempre!

numero uno

The first of its kind.

Yes! I've written many blogs in my other sites which I am not going to state here. Why? coz I dun think it is relevant to what I am going to embark in here. This new blog of mine is sort of a new lease of life. Looking life in a whole new angle. Stating the truth that is seen from my eyes, heard from my ears, taste from my mouth, the smell from my nose and the touch from my skin. Yes I am stating what I feel. Speaking nothing but the truth.
