The idiot on tv.
You would think that the Muslims would've sent someone who at least looks a little more intelligent and can stare directly at the camera instead of having the perpetual "eye rolling over the back of his head" look.
And you would think he can come up with non pre prepared answers and they are not confined to "We think it is exclusive to Islam." "it is a word close to our hearts" "we are not overreacting, it's a word close to our hearts" and " it is exclusive to Islam".
I think the rest of the world is just tired with the "It is exclusive to Islam because we said so. We don't care that the rest of the world have been using it even before reigion ever existed. WE MALAYSIAN MUSLIMS, said so."
I think it's time to come up with a better justification than that, no?
Christian vs Muslim
Those who oppose the use of the word Allah say "please respect the sensitivities of the Muslims.
Allah has been used for centuries in Malaysia as the word to denote the God of Islam. "
Those who are for the use of the word Allah to denote God in general, say "But it is merely a word which predates religion. It is our inherent right to use that word."
So, really, why can't the Christians just respect the sensitivities of the Muslims? Why not just revert to Tuhan instead of Allah?
Why indeed?
Because like the Sun columnist said today, it is possibly because the Christians (and all other faiths in Malaysia) feel that we may have given a little too much.
1.Pork is banned in Islam, movies about small cute pigs by the name of Babe never make it to Malaysian shores.
2.Shah Alam residents are mostly Muslims, the whole town is declared an Islamic town and alcohol and entertainment are banned.
3.International acts who want to perform here do not adhere to the strict "dress code" to respect our culture (which by OUR culture it means Islamic culture), we prohibit them from performing here.
4.Alcohol is banned in Islam, so all things related to alcohol such as concerts organised by the company, or any other event, is banned.
5.Scholarships and university placements are not based on merit, but by race and religion.
6.Up until this year, all businessmen who want to set up a company must find 30% bumiputra investors/partners before they can.
7.Malays/Muslims pay less for property because they get an automatic 5% discount
8. They removed Hang Tuah from the history books because it was found that Hang Tuah, the great warrior, was actually Chinese.
9. When the Muslims fast, they can go home early/ come in late, but when the Christians/Hindus/Buddhist fast they do not get that privilege.
10. They banned the Da Vinci code because it was about Christianity (though many Christians thought watching the movie amounted to Blasphemy)
11. They allow universities set up for Malays/Muslims to crop up like flowers after a shower, but only allow UTAR university status after fighting for it for ten years.
12. They relocate temples, tear down places of worship belonging to other faiths, because it offensive to the majority of Muslims living in that area. (And then they step on cow heads to prove a point)
I could go on.
But I shall not. Because I do not adopt the attitude of those who think we have to respect their sensitivies, but do not find the need to also respect ours in return.
The country has been relatively peaceful because the Non Muslims have done NOTHING but respect the sensitivities of the Muslims.
It has become inherent to us not to eat in front of them when our Muslim friends are fasting.
We provide for halal food when we invite them for meals.
We wear the tudung to cover our heads when we enter the mosque.
We prevent alcohol from being served when there are Muslims who are attending an event.
We do not conduct anything on Fridays during their Friday prayer hours.
That is just to name a few.
In return, when we ask for small favours which is our very right as a citizen of Malaysia, we're reminded that we're merely "foreigners" who have been given the permission to "remain in Malaysia." That the Malays/Muslims were kind enough to let us stay and be given citizenship.
In the wake of the church burnings, the Christians have rallied together to pray for peace. Nobody has retaliated. Nobody has started burning churches.
Instead the arson continues. Lawyers who defend the Herald see their offices being broken into, whether coincidentally or not. Protests continue in Mosques. Poster saying "ALLAH adalah untuk kegunaan Islam saja" crop up everywhere.
And the Christians continue to kneel before God and bow their heads and pray for peace.

We do not need to stoop that low.
Have you ever had one lone car on the road terrorizing you to give way to it, so it can zoom pass you, in its 2 litre, brand new flashy tires, big ass sedan or whatchamacallit expensive body works? And then you do give way cos you figured no point trying to outdo his flashy ass car, and it ZOOMS past you and you can see the driver flashing his big grin saying "Yeah baby. check out the ride! Bugger off the road slow mo in sad ass car?"
Then you reach the traffic lights about 30 m ahead and stranded there, waiting for the red light to change, is Mr. Check out my cool ride ? Then you slowly slide up next to his car and then you give him the " still have to wait for the lights huh?"
This is exactly how I feel about the church burning.
When my friend texted me in the morning to tell me there had been some church burning "activities" going on, I was not exactly disturbed. I was not particularly effected or upset. Not because I am not Christian, but because dim witted acts like this was not unheard of here in Malaysia.
Upset with temple relocating, step on cow head. Upset with leaders from opposition, play pretend to pee on the poster. Just to name a few.
So, why was everyone surprised? Let's recap in point form the events.
Well, any idiot can tell you that's obvious. But not the Malaysian Government. Right now I cannot think of anything more degrading than an idiot. So, we'll leave that for next time.
Anyway, I digress. So I am not upset with church burnings only because this merely shows the stupidity of the ones involved. The ignorance, the disrespect, the dim wittedness, the ( just insert any words that equate to stupidity or ignorance) of the church burners. It makes it clearer to the rest of the world that some Malaysians are put simply, dumb asses.
Dumb enough to think, by burning churces, the Herald will say "we will stop using the word Allah."
Dumb enough to think, the rest of the Non Muslims in Malaysia will suddenly sympathise with the Muslim's plight to have Allah for their own exclusive use.
Dumb enough to think the Christians will retaliate and hence ignite the sparks of a racial war.
So here's what I think, let the dumb ones go do what they want. Step on cow heads, piss on posters, throwing home made molotov cocktails at churches.
The rest of us do not have to stoop to their level. We have dignity, grace and intelligence.
Let us just wait at the traffic light grinning to ourselves at the stupid big ass flashy car waiting right next to us.
Du

- Some random dim wits go on church burning rampage.
- Government condems such acts

Summary of year end- 2009.
You know how you have so many important things to do but you choose to do the most menial unimportant ones?
You know how two jet planes costing the Malaysian taxpayers MYR100 million got "ejected" off to another country and is still untraceable and nobody has been held accountable for its disappearance? You know how the Sun newspaper today yelled "top brass cleared" and apparently only the rank and file are responsible for the loss of the jet planes? Logically speaking, if you go to say, McDonalds and the guy behind the counter gives you the shittiest service you've ever experienced in your life, who do you yell for? The manager right? Because he is responsible for the people who work for him. He is the Mr. go to whenever there are any problems in that place. So how can top people in the Army be cleared? Somebody should be responsible for the delinquents in the Army. You don't dust your shoulders and say "it wasn't me!" The Japanese go as far as taking their own lives when something goes wrong in their corporation. When a train crashed, the CEO of the train company stepped down and bowed before the press to express his apology for the crash. Malaysians?
We deny any responsibility, we point fingers and then we say "it wasn't me!".
Something as pressing and urgent as the ARMY, the MALAYSIAN ARMY who is supposed to protect us from foreign invasion, missing two jet planes which was STOLEN from underneath their noses is not immediately dealt with. Instead, it's the use of the word Allah which is getting everybody's panties in a bunch. The ex ex-PM's panties are so much in knots he can hardly breathe, poor dude. Non Muslims are reminded to respect the sensitivities of Muslims. Islam is the official religion of the country.
Yes. We understand that Islam is the official religion of the country. But is Malaysia the founder of Islam? The last I checked, we weren't. And the word Allah predates Islam. Sure, I am uneducated in this matter, if indeed Allah is exclusively for Islam, then all other countries in the world which have used Allah as a reference to God must have gotten it all wrong for centuries. CENTURIES. Allah as far as the rest of the world (minus Malaysian Muslims of course) is an Arabic word which derived from al and ilah. Christian Arabs have used Allah to mean God all these years but hey you know what? Let us MALAYSIANS whose civilisation came thousands and thousands of years after the Arabs claim that Allah is exclusively for Islam. Cos us Malaysians are great that way. Malaysia Boleh. (said three times with great enthusiasm). I think the next logical step for Malaysia is to take over the Enclyclopedia and rewrite it. Cos you know, we're just great that way.
And then in the midst of things that are a threat to public security and which exposes the weaknesses of the government, the DBKL finds it appropriate to revoke the entertainment licenses of clubs. It's indirectly saying "here's a death certificate for your business. HAHA." Sure, the music is 20 decibels above the permitted 60. And all the service residences are complaining about the noise. So, if you have half the brain in DBKL, you would have not approved permits for development of residential areas around entertainment outlets no? It's like allowing a mosque to be built right smack in between pork breeders, and then saying, sorry, the mosque does not allow you continue breeding pork. You know. Pork, Islam. No go. Like I said before, the previous Perak government thought it was a great idea to build a mosque next to the General Hospital. Sure, more than 80 decibel of "noise" comes through the mosque five times a day but do the patients, lying there, sick and dying, complain about the noise? Nope. Can't. Islam is the official religion of Malaysia, You've got a problem with that? Go die somewhere else.
2010 is here. We ended 2009 with great news that reminds us Malaysians that, as years progress, the BS continues.
Happy New Year all.

Oh oh oh yes, I'm the great...defender (of Malay rights)
I don't know about the Malays, but I don't think this is whom I want to be running the streets defending my race. But hey, to each it's own.
And just in case we forgot what the precedent was, here it is for your viewing pleasure.
Just showing displeasure.Nothing more.

Nazri calls Dr. M a racist.
By Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani
KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 7 — Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has called Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad a “bloody racist” for defending the Biro Tata Negara (BTN) courses, and reasserted the Cabinet’s earlier decision to overhaul the programme.
Nazri pointed out to reporters in Parliament today that patriotism was not meant only for the Malays but for all Malaysians.
“You must be a Malaysian whether you’re a minister or not. You must walk your talk. Don’t just because when you were PM, you wanted everyone to support you, you’re Malaysian and the moment you’re no longer PM, that’s it, only talk about the Malays so I cannot accept his comment. When you read his blog it is bloody racist.
“I strongly feel the BTN courses must be in line with the 1 Malaysia slogan by the PM,” he said.
Dr Mahathir had said yesterday that there was no need to revamp BTN’s training modules in the current form and that it was suitable for instilling the patriotic spirit among Malaysians.
Nazri also slammed Umno’s Utusan Malaysia newspaper today, saying its “denial syndrome is making me laugh.” The minister in the prime minister’s department repeated his stand that “everybody knows what the BTN is,” so there was nothing to hide.
“I just want them to know, they should not go on a denial syndrome because their syllabus is known to everybody. Don’t think that people outside do not know about the syllabus based on patriotism for Malays. I just want to remind them that among those in the opposition, Hasan Ali was a former deputy director of BTN and Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul was a BTN former director and Anwar Ibrahim’s father in law was involved with the BTN.
“They all know what the syllabus is all about so who are we to say that it did not happen? You want to lie? You make people laugh. I mean there are people who attended the courses who came out very angry. There were many instances of the use of words like Ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy). It is ridiculous so I want them to tell me where did I go wrong in supporting the revamping of the BTN syllabus. Tell me where I went wrong?” he asked.
Nazri stressed that BTN was funded by public money and that the funds should be spent properly for the betterment of all communities.
“The BTN’s allocation is mentioned in the PM’s department’s budget. So it’s public money. So if it’s public money then we need to ensure that it is spent properly, not to have courses only to concentrate on one community in the country.
“You talk about patriotism, love for the country. Patriotism is for all Malaysians regardless of race. Therefore, the money spent on BTN to have courses must reflect the 1Malaysia slogan by the PM. It should not only be to raise patriotism among the Malays. Malaysia is for all races so I disagree with any syllabus which only concentrates on patriotism just on one community, I disagree. If they have a problem with that, I want to know what is their problem,” he said.
Nazri questioned if Utusan Malaysia, which has been at the forefront of defending BTN courses, believes that Malaysia belongs only to the Malay community.
“Do they want to say that Malaysia belongs only to the Malays and the government is only a Malay government? Should only the Malays be given the spirit of patriotism? Other races are not patriotic about their country? So I want them to point out to me where is it that I’ve gone wrong If I disagree with the past syllabus,” he added.
Nazri also denied the claim made by Utusan that it was only him who wanted BTN to be revamped and not the Cabinet.
“The moment PM took over, when he introduced the 1 Malaysia slogan. It was soon after that because courses run by BTN using public funds must be used properly and it amounts to millions so if you want to talk about patriotism, patriotism for all, not just the Malays, for all Malaysians. It’s not because of the Selangor state government that we changed the syllabus so it’s long before that,” he said.
Nazri also questioned Utusan for deceiving Malaysians on BTN.
“You tell me, can I lie? I can’t. They must use their head lah. If they want to deny and all that. If the other side they do not know, it’s different but all these people were involved with BTN before. They were facilitators and directors so they know what’s going on.
“Come on lah, please, this is not 1961 or the 1970s. Information is freely available. I want them to get out of the denial syndrome, admit it and that’s in line with the PM’s slogan so why shouldn’t we change?” he asked.
The PR-led Selangor government recently imposed a ban on its civil servants and students within its state-run educational institutions from attending BTN courses, while Penang — another PR- governed state — is said to be considering similar action.
But the hawks in Umno, through Malay-based dailies like Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia, have moved to defend BTN and attacked its critics as “traitors” who are trying to politicise the issue.
Utusan yesterday urged the government not to “bow down” to the opposition on BTN and said that it was Nazri who wanted the programme to be revamped even though the move was decided by the Cabinet.

Answer to Tun M part 2
In Tun M's 18th and 19th concluding paragraphs of his oh-so-exciting article, he says this:-
18. Dengan rencana ini saya tetap akan di cap sebagai racist oleh racist bukan Melayu. Tetapi kalau mereka sanggup menerima yang benar, mereka boleh banding korban orang Melayu pemilik asal negara ini dengan korban mereka untuk kepentingan negara ini.
(many racist Non Malays will label me racist because of this article. However if they can accept the truth, they can compare the sacrifice of the Malays, the original owners/citizens of this country with their own sacrifices for the good of this country)
( It is my opinion that in order for this country to be peaceful and successful, the wealth and quality of life between the races have to divided fairly but unequally. There should not be any party or race which will bear extreme poverty, while other races are rich. Taking the rights of one race to be given to another is not the way- what more if it is taking from the poor and giving to the rich)
Now, time and again Non Malays have been reminded that we are merely immigrants in this country. Time and again we are reminded that the original citizens of this country have been kind enough to ALLOW us to stay. Time and again, we have been told to stop asking for the right to be Malaysian and expect fair treatment from the Government because the Malays have sacrificed so much to let us stay here.
If only all us Non Malays would pack up and leave. Then the Malays will have no issue in this country because then it would be fair play as they will all be given equal opportunities and will obtain the same aid from the Government.
Before I go any further, let me list down the top richest men in Malaysia:-
But how did these people become rich? They worked hard. Simple as that. Robert Kuok started off as an office boy. Lee Sin Cheng started off helping his father in their own small chinese food shop and to support his family he sold ice cream for four years while he was in his teens. As for Lim Goh Tong (who has since passed away and is now replaced on the list by his wife) he worked as a carpenter and survived the Japanese invasion of Malaya while working as a vegetable farmer. That is but three of the many stories of these rich successful men. Clearly from these stories, it is matter of perseverance and hard work that has brought these men wealth and success.
And what about the three lone Malays in this top 20 list? One of them is Tun M's own son. Obviously this man did not grow up with hardship, his father might have, but not him.
What about the other two men? Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar grew up poor. He helped his family in the cow breeding business. As for Azman Hashim? He did not grow up with a lot, his father was a disciplinarian and his mother was a headmistress. He grew up with strict discipline, which had obviously served him well in his life.
Now, despite what Tun M has said about the Malays, these two Malay men have somehow defied the odds. They were not given any handouts. They were not told that it was their birth right to have the Government hold their hands and lead them to wealth and success. These two men worked hard for their wealth.
So the striking similarities between the Malays and Non Malays? It is a matter of working hard and perseverance. Nothing to do with their race. So its utter rubbish for Tun M to say give a Malay MYR1m and he would not know what to do with it. He would know what to do with it, if only he had been given the opportunity to actually have to THINK of being competitive. Think of being an entrepeneur. Instead, the Government has instilled in him the idea that he needn't had to work so hard. It is already his birth right to be given all that he needs.
You want land to farm? Felda will give you land. Let the Non Malays work their arses off to buy land. You want money to start businesses? Let the Government give out Bumiputra loans, let the Non Malays save their money from their measly wages and start their businesses. You want to open up a restaurant overseas? Let us the Government give you grants to do so, let the Non Malays work their way up from dish washer to cleaner to a managerial position and lastly restaurant owner. You want to go to universities? Let the Government create a quota and let you in despite your bad results, let the Non Malays study hard and fight for one of the few places. You want a scholarship to go overseas to study? Here let me give 100 to the Malays, and let 2 of the Non Malays fight for the last two places and as for the rest, let them get disheartened and work somewhere else. Less Non Malays in Malaysia, better for us! You want to buy a house? Let us make it cheaper for you while the Non Malays pay full price.
The Government has patted itself on its head and said "Good Job!" in maintaining the necessary Malay quota and the necessary Malay wealth. But you know what all that it has done in this mission?
They've killed the Malay competitiveness.
And once you're no longer competitive, you perish.

But how did these people become rich? They worked hard. Simple as that. Robert Kuok started off as an office boy. Lee Sin Cheng started off helping his father in their own small chinese food shop and to support his family he sold ice cream for four years while he was in his teens. As for Lim Goh Tong (who has since passed away and is now replaced on the list by his wife) he worked as a carpenter and survived the Japanese invasion of Malaya while working as a vegetable farmer. That is but three of the many stories of these rich successful men. Clearly from these stories, it is matter of perseverance and hard work that has brought these men wealth and success.
And what about the three lone Malays in this top 20 list? One of them is Tun M's own son. Obviously this man did not grow up with hardship, his father might have, but not him.
What about the other two men? Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar grew up poor. He helped his family in the cow breeding business. As for Azman Hashim? He did not grow up with a lot, his father was a disciplinarian and his mother was a headmistress. He grew up with strict discipline, which had obviously served him well in his life.
Now, despite what Tun M has said about the Malays, these two Malay men have somehow defied the odds. They were not given any handouts. They were not told that it was their birth right to have the Government hold their hands and lead them to wealth and success. These two men worked hard for their wealth.
So the striking similarities between the Malays and Non Malays? It is a matter of working hard and perseverance. Nothing to do with their race. So its utter rubbish for Tun M to say give a Malay MYR1m and he would not know what to do with it. He would know what to do with it, if only he had been given the opportunity to actually have to THINK of being competitive. Think of being an entrepeneur. Instead, the Government has instilled in him the idea that he needn't had to work so hard. It is already his birth right to be given all that he needs.
You want land to farm? Felda will give you land. Let the Non Malays work their arses off to buy land. You want money to start businesses? Let the Government give out Bumiputra loans, let the Non Malays save their money from their measly wages and start their businesses. You want to open up a restaurant overseas? Let us the Government give you grants to do so, let the Non Malays work their way up from dish washer to cleaner to a managerial position and lastly restaurant owner. You want to go to universities? Let the Government create a quota and let you in despite your bad results, let the Non Malays study hard and fight for one of the few places. You want a scholarship to go overseas to study? Here let me give 100 to the Malays, and let 2 of the Non Malays fight for the last two places and as for the rest, let them get disheartened and work somewhere else. Less Non Malays in Malaysia, better for us! You want to buy a house? Let us make it cheaper for you while the Non Malays pay full price.
The Government has patted itself on its head and said "Good Job!" in maintaining the necessary Malay quota and the necessary Malay wealth. But you know what all that it has done in this mission?
They've killed the Malay competitiveness.
And once you're no longer competitive, you perish.

Answer to Tun M Part 1
Back when Tun M just retired (after a teary emo charged goodbye at the UMNO General Assembly) I bumped into him at KLCC. He was with his wife, and a bodyguard (who was dressed in plain clothes and kept a short distance from the couple). I rushed up to Tun and his wife and asked if I could snap a picture with them and they obliged. Til today, that picture is one of my prized possession.
Til today I respect Tun M for his vision and his ideas.
But I read this today:- http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/2009/07/kaki-dalam-kasut.html and I cannot help but wonder how his statements are so horrendously wrong.
"Tokoh bukan Melayu yang cuba duduki tempat Melayu (in the shoes of the Malays) jika ikhlas, akan rasa kekecewaan Melayu melihat hampir semua perniagaan dan perusahaan serta kekayaan yang diperolehi darinya dimiliki oleh bukan Melayu. Segala estet rumah mewah juga diduduki oleh bukan Melayu. Sikit benar orang Melayu yang tinggal di estat mewah ini. Lebih ramai yang tinggal di kawasan setinggan."
(roughly translated to mean: Non Malay leaders who try to put themselves in the shoes of the Malays, if there were sincere, will understand the frustrations of the Malays when they see that all the businesses and industries as well as the riches are all in the hands of the Non Malays. All the affluent townships are dominated by Malays. Only a few live in those townships)
Mungkin semua ini disebabkan kesalahan orang Melayu sendiri. Mereka tidak guna peluang yang disediakan bagi mereka. Ada yang salahguna peluang-peluang ini pun. Tetapi jika seorang pengayuh beca diberi sejuta Ringgit, apakah ia akan dapat berniaga dan berjaya dalam bidang ini.
( Perhaps these are all the faults of the Malays themselves. They have not utilised the opportunities that have been given to them. And some have misused these opportunities. But if a trishaw man is given a million ringgit, can he start a business and be successful in it.)
Does this not give you the impression that Tun honestly and sincerely think that Malay people are useless? Because it sure as hell sounds that way to me. He states if you give a million ringgit to a (presumably Malay) trishaw man, what is he going to do with it? Do you think he will be able to be successful? A chinese man will say, well if I had a million ringgit, by sure I will start a business and be successful in it! An Indian man may state the same. But Tun M thinks the Malay will find it impossible. And hence, because of their sheer genetic impossibility of being successful, the NEP must exist to reduce the big gap between the riches of the Non Malays and the Malays.
If the NEP continues to exist, generation after generation of Malays will become LAZY as they are of the opinion that it is their birth right to be given all that their ancestors have been given. Sure it may be true that other races who come from Empires who have existed long before the Malays and have been more successful may have had more experience in being successful and may at one time in history, be ahead of the Malays. But times have changed. The Malays are now educated, sophisticated and advanced. Many have now acquired the knowledge that were once upon a time, available only to the minority few.
If you use the statistics of Malays living out of town as part of the statistics to show that a majority of them are living in poverty, then one can only say this is because there are clearly more Malays in the country than other races. That's one. Number two, the other races have suffered these discrimination for so long, many have moved away. Number three, the Chinese do not register that they are poor because frankly, they are much too egoistic and proud to do so. While the Malays do not hesitate to do that as it means government aid. Number four, if poverty continue to exist in the Malay community, only the Malay leaders are to be blamed for hoarding all the money for themselves and their people. (Have you ever met a poor Minister? Or a poor Mayor?)
To be continued....

It's sad to know, you have to attend courses to instill loyalty to the Government.
At first they say, no, the BTN (Biro Tatanegara) courses aren't there to condemn the Opposition. Then they have the media cover speeches and statements by Ministers in the Government saying Selangor is the one "afraid to expose its weakness" by banning all it's civil servants from attending the 5 day course to instill patriotism to the "Raja, Kerajaan dan Negara" (among others).
But I do not see how this course is not aimed at condemning the opposition and asking for the civil servants to have blind loyalty to the current government. Clearly the "misi" (mission) of the BTN is "BTN berdedikasi melaksanakan program-program memupuk semangat patriotisme dan ketaatan kepada kerajaan yang dipilih."
(roughly translated it means BTN is dedicated to establishing programmes to encourage patriotism and loyalty to the elected government)
And it's vision is "Menjadi sebuah organisasi awam yang unggul dalam memupuk semangat patriotisme serta menjadikan rakyat setia kepada Kerajaan."
(BTN's vision is to be the ideal public organisation in instilling the spirit of patriotism and to ensure the citizens are loyal to the Government)
Clearly, when the BTN was set up, March 2008 had yet to happen. Hence the opposition were merely background noise, and did not play any part in State Government. (Obviously Kelantan could not even be bothered to send anybody for the BTN course) When March 2008 happened and Selangor (and now demised Perak) was taken over by the Opposition, the BTN course instantly fell foul of "intergrating the nation". Because the opposition is clearly not the ELECTED GOVERNMENT per se. But they are merely the elected Government of Selangor, Perak and Kelantan. So, logically speaking, the Selangor Government is right. By sending their civil servants there to be indoctrinated with loyalty to BN, it clearly is a condemnation of the Opposition.
Isn't it? It sounds about right to me.
What a lot of people had also noticed was the fact that these courses were also very very racist.
Today the headline screamed that the civics course will undergo a revamp. Nazri (Minister in the PM's Deaprtment) says " the Curriculum must match 1Malaysia concept and be inclusive of all races."
I wonder. What have they been teaching all these while? If it is undergoing a revamp only NOW, does that not mean all these while the modules did not include all races? Apparently yes. Mr. Nazri himself says " You have the BTN courses for students mostly from one racial group..."
A survey at the website will show that this course never took into consideration other races in the first place.
Clearly women had to attend the course in baju kurung and bertudung/berselendang. Hence, if this course were open to all races, does that mean the Chinese/ Indian/ all other races have to be dressed in the baju kurung?
Does it not make you wonder where all your tax monies go? Well I am guessing a chunk of it goes to these programmes, the other chunk of it goes to running the rubbish course called the National Service. And if Selangor had not blown the cover of the BTN, nothing would have been done. What rubbish is it to say "we are revamping to be more in line with 1Malaysia?" So the PM comes up with a moniker 1Malaysia and everyone thinks is the best thing since sliced bread.
1Malaysia is NOT NEW. 1Malaysia is supposed to exist since 31st Augusy 1957. 1 Malaysia is but a reiteration of what every right thinking citizen want in their lives. We are ENTITLED to have racial intergration and our rights as citizens of MALAYSIA, to live the way we want, to practise the religion we choose, to elect the government we believe in and to condemn the politics we abhor. It is OUR RIGHT. It's not something that you have graciously given to us when the new PM so cleverly coined "1Malaysia."
So please. Spare us the Bullshit.

Stupidity list (in no particular order)
Ever stared at the newspapers and thought to yourself, Good God, the STUPIDITY!
I certainly have.
And for 2009, here is my top ten list.
1. A lady poisons herself. AND her children by lacing her drinks with weedkiller. The reason? Oh, it's because her brother was shot dead by the police. Her brother who was one of the five suspected robbers the police had a shoot out with. So, because she was overcome by grief, she decided to take not only her life, but those of her children too.
2. Welfare homes who take in young children and infants have been found to convert children as young as 7 years old, to Islam. Children who are too young to even understand cartoons in full, but have been placed with the understanding of Islam on their young shoulders. But wait, what does the government say? It says, go to the Syariah Court and ask them to declare that you're not Muslim. And yes, welfare homes are ENCOURAGED to teach children about Islam and its virtues. *mumble convert children acceptable mumble*.
3. You get SO fat, your 11 year old daughter has to drop out of school to take care of you. And then the army rebuilds your dilapidated home and the government gives you a doctor to check on your help and even gets you a nutritionist! So basically, she ballooned from 110kg to 170kgs because she took some "jamu" pills for the pain in her knees (yes, being 100kgs will be quite a lot of weight for your poor knees to carry). So she gets aid from Penang UMNO's Public Complaints and Welfare Secretariat. She allows herself to get that big. She allows her child to drop out of school to take care of her. She does nothing to lose the weight, but she gets aid for being too lazy to do something about her weight and her life.
4. The power company has such frequent outages, a man raps his dissastisfaction on video. Instead of TNB making a decision to buck up in their services, the Government says investigations would be carried out on the lyrics to see if action should be taken under the Penal Code. Why? Because Information, Communications, Culture and Arts Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said “We cannot allow acts that insult which could lead to disharmony,” he told reporters yesterday.". No siree. Stepping on cow heads is A-ok and endorsed by all parties. But insulting TNB for bad service? No-uh. Disharmony. Definitely.
5. A woman falls to her death from a condo unit in Penang. Police say "Based on the deceased’s brown-coloured pupil and skin colour, we believed she could be from either East Europe like Ukraine or the Middle East."
Please do not doubt the fantastic police force in Malaysia and their initial investigations based on the body they found and the conclusions from their vast experience in homicide/suicide/death investigations.
The woman looks like this:-
Hmmm...East Europe?
To be continued....
I certainly have.

Raise you hand if you don't give a damn,
I don't know about the rest of you, but I seriously, in all honesty, do NOT care about the MCA.
They have LONG abandon the fight for the rights of their members or for the Chinese population.
Today someone remarked to me "Tee Keat is going to be like Samy Vellu soon."
"You don't like me? Out you go! "
I don't see how any of us will benefit from this MCA reshuffle. Or unity plan. I think it is a big waste of paper and sacrificed trees for faces of Tee Keat or Soi Lek, or Chew Mei Fun or whomever whatever from MCA to grace the newspapers. I feel cheated sometimes after I hand over my RM for the papers and I see the same MCA bullshit gracing the front pages.
Seriously, while the MCA is fighting, people in UMNO are shitting in their pants. DANG! They are going to chase away all our Chinese BN voters!
It's okay UMNO. PKR is messing itself up too. No worries. Just serves to remind us voters, once you have political power, it is no longer about who you are, what you stand for and what you can do for the rakyat. It's all about who is President, who gets which position, how can we benefit from the government and what flaws of the other parties can we point out (to make ourselves look good, without actually needing to do anything).
There is so much mud slinging in public now I wish there will be a 24 hour rainfall whereby all the useless politicians will just drown in the big pool of mud.

Idiots that roam among us.
This is what irks me.
People who live in a foreign country. Working in and for a foreign economy. Contributing their time, energy and money to a foreign land and claiming that us Malaysians are ungrateful for what the Government has given us.
That us Malaysians are never happy with what we have. Here is an except of something I have about a million things to say to. :-
"Which one do you prefer? A so-called 100% freedom of speech (which never exist anyway) and chaos on the street, economy going to the drain, people became homeless and starving?
Thirdly, here is a girl who says, hey, whats a little sacrifice of government controlled media, if we do not have famine, riots and diseases and war like those other countries?
And here is what I want to say to this ignorant fool.
Firstly, you only THINK the damn country is so DARN wonderful, BECAUSE of the media. IF not for the internet and a man named RPK, we would have never known of the PM being implicated in murder, or the little Napoleans running around Selangor using the state's money to fly themselves all over the world, or how a man can go in as a witness to a investigation and wound up dead on the 5th floor, just to name a few.
And this freedom of information which you asked us to sacrifice for bigger things such as stability which is fragile, which you think is a difficult job. You compare your country to third world countries? You compare your country with Africa? Pakistan and Bangladesh? You think we are on the same turf as them? How very deluded. And frankly, how lost you are. Sure, we consider ourselves lucky to have "peace and stability" and also "a functioning economy" but my friend, those countries are NOT your peers.
Singapore, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong New Zealand, Australia.
THOSE ARE YOUR PEERS.
THEY ARE WHOM WE SHOULD COMPARE OURSELVES TO.
And oh did you know that our country actually produces oil? That we have natural resources?
If we apply your theory in the working world, and you tell your employer, because I have a Masters, I should be given a higher pay. He will say to your face, but why, some people don't even HAVE jobs. You should be happy you have one.
What a load of bull.
And the last load of bullshit I want to direct to her is simply this. If you are SO FKING proud of your country, why pack your bags and move away? Contribute to this country you alleged that us staying Malaysians are so unhappy about.
Please. Take a look at yourself and your judgmental views.
Practise what you preach.
And know your facts before you make a statement.
And dear, just because you have a Law Degree and a Master too, it does not make you a lawyer.
And frankly, your answer to one comment on your blog which said "I nak you defend saya. Sebab you lawyer hot smart and attractive (or words to that effect)", your answer should not be " Sure babe."
It should be, I am NOT QUALIFIED. Because I have never stepped into a court room, or drafted a court document, or spoken to a judge. I am not a lawyer, I am merely a law graduate.
And Darling, you've never even seen law beyond your textbooks. And oh, a word of advice? You can improve on your English too.
People who live in a foreign country. Working in and for a foreign economy. Contributing their time, energy and money to a foreign land and claiming that us Malaysians are ungrateful for what the Government has given us.
That us Malaysians are never happy with what we have. Here is an except of something I have about a million things to say to. :-
"Which one do you prefer? A so-called 100% freedom of speech (which never exist anyway) and chaos on the street, economy going to the drain, people became homeless and starving?
Or government that carefully filtered the information so that we can live the way we live now?
...
Honestly, not that I mean it is you… but I found people that find fault and complained all the time are pretty disgusting and sad. It is so easy to complain because you are complacent.
...
Go, do some traveling and visit poor country or live in the country that you worshipped so much. Then you will know how to appreciate you own so-called not practicing 100% freedom of speech country.
There is a thin line in finding solutions for a problem and trying desperately to prove that you are smart-ass by just being angry all the time."
Firstly, this comes from a girl who boasts of a Master in Law (specializing in Economy and IP). Secondly, she doesn't reside in Malaysia and she casually mentions she wants a job in the foreign country that she is in because "Europe pays more than Malaysia anyway." (IS THAT A COMPLAINT?!)Thirdly, here is a girl who says, hey, whats a little sacrifice of government controlled media, if we do not have famine, riots and diseases and war like those other countries?
And here is what I want to say to this ignorant fool.

What a load of bull.
And the last load of bullshit I want to direct to her is simply this. If you are SO FKING proud of your country, why pack your bags and move away? Contribute to this country you alleged that us staying Malaysians are so unhappy about.
Please. Take a look at yourself and your judgmental views.
Practise what you preach.
And know your facts before you make a statement.
And dear, just because you have a Law Degree and a Master too, it does not make you a lawyer.
And frankly, your answer to one comment on your blog which said "I nak you defend saya. Sebab you lawyer hot smart and attractive (or words to that effect)", your answer should not be " Sure babe."
It should be, I am NOT QUALIFIED. Because I have never stepped into a court room, or drafted a court document, or spoken to a judge. I am not a lawyer, I am merely a law graduate.
And Darling, you've never even seen law beyond your textbooks. And oh, a word of advice? You can improve on your English too.

1 Malaysia
I used to tell everybody how great a Sultan we have in Perak. But after the whole Perak power struggle, I have to rethink my position.
For those who are uninformed as to what happened in Perak, here's a behind the fiasco story.
On a separate note:
Everytime I see a 1 Malaysia sign, I feel like spitting on it.
I really do.
I spit on it because it obviously is a waste of tax payers money to print, churn and distribute these new 1 Malaysia logos, posters, giant billboards and whatnots. What? The more we look at it, the more we will believe the BS is it?
It's nothing but propaganda. 1 Malaysia this 1 Malaysia that. What has PM done to even prove 1 Malaysia? Just because you travel everywhere to launch the IDEA of 1 Malaysia, doesn't mean its a success in implementing the alleged policies before it.
1 Malaysia has been brought to its knees by the Auditor's report of excesses and misappropriation of money. OUR Money.
1 Malaysia - Rakyat didahulukan, hence because the rakyat (UMNO) wanted a man tainted with corruption to lead them in Bagan Pinang, that's what they get! Two thumbs up!
1 Malaysia- where MACC can ask someone to come and help with investigations but then say "he was not under our jurisdiction" when this someone is found dead on their premises. No police report, nothing. MACC's duty to BN's "pencapaian diutamakan".
1 Malaysia, it's not something that will outlive the PM. I doubt it will but MIC thinks its the greatest idea that has ever been invented. As great as the birth and rise of Samyvellu. Hence the need to change September 16, which is Malaysia day, to 1 Malaysia day. Can someone yell bootlicker?
1 Malaysia. This is what the chinese call a new jamban.
Everyone wants to go sit on it and take a crap. Just to experience the new jamban and its features.
Whatever it boasts to do, its still a place for crap isn't it?

Rise if you have had enough.
Nobody's listening to you
Cause nobody cares
They will never change
They are slowly dying
They will never go away
They have nothing to lose
All my people come on
Choose your side
You're a long way from home, but not alone
They are afraid of you
Cause you know their secrets
I hear them praying for you
That you disappear
They are the enemy
We are the fallen
Now they have us on our knees
We have nothing to lose
[Chorus]
All my people come on
Choose your side
You're a long way from home, but not alone
Keep your head up
Keep it real
Stay down
You're a long way from home
You're not alone
I got you
The sky was blood red on New Years Day
One thousand candles light the way
Ten thousand souls are restless
Ten million hungry
Eat the rich, but pay me!
In the next episode&
I load and reload
It's kill or be killed
Sell or be sold
In this life, in this time, in my mind
I gotta stay high, cause I got left behind

Our BFF Indonesia deserve better from us!
Ever had a friend or an acquaintance whom is forever ungrateful no matter what you did for him? He will always find fault with you, saying its never enough, its not good enough, nothing works. To him, it is all about receiving, but less about giving?
That's how I as a MALAYSIAN, feel about Indonesians.
Did you hear they plan to INVADE Malaysia? A volunteer vigilante group called BENDERA (Benteng Demokrasi Rakyat) are waging war against us. They have 1300 volunteers and 500 medical personnel who plan to depart from Jakarta to Malaysia, armed with weapons like bamboo spears, sticks and parang.
They're wreaking vengeance on Malaysia because we:-
1) stole their culture
2) abuse their maids.
Us Malaysians are a terrible lot aren't we?
What do you mean we sent relief to Padang quake victims? Flew relatives and medical personnel and volunteers for free with Air Asia? Collected money and give them aid?
That's not enough.
What do you mean MERCY Malaysia was the first to land and offer its aid when the tsunami hit Indonesia?
That's not enough.
What do you mean we give thousands if not millions of Indonesians citizenship and PRs?
That's not enough.
What do you mean we give them jobs here ?
That's not enough.
What do you mean every year they give us the best haze ever from their burning forest- like a yearly gift. "Here's some tainted air for you courtesy of our burning forests. You're WELCOME!"
It's a damned gift. Why are us Malaysians so ungrateful?
We bloody stole their culture and abuse(d) their maids!
Who cares if that visit Malaysia ad had nothing to DO with Malaysia as it was produced solely by the Discovery/National Geographic channel? We could have done something! We could have issued a full page apology for even DARING to ASSUME we are as CULTURED as the Indonesians. For shame Malaysia!!
And who cares if thousands of poverty stricken women come here to earn a living and are able to support their families back in Indonesia? We abuse them! Three in every one hundred? Still? An abuse is an abuse! For shame Malaysia!!
I think the Indonesians are right. We deserved to be punished with primitive weapons.
Please do come attack us.
In return, to show you how very sorry we are, we shall revoke all citizenships and PRs offered to you, stop taking you in for jobs, stop providing relief whenever a natural disaster hits you.
Malaysia should just stop being such a bloody bad neighbour!

PDRM- two thumbs up!
Yesterday I went to the MidValley Megamall Police station to assist my friend in making a report. The details as to why we were there are insignificant, but the story as to how this L/KPL Asvin 107202 ended up calling me "perempuan gila" and threatened to arrest me, its quite a story.
As we walked into the police station, Ms. Asvin was chatting away on the phone while an old uncle was seated in front of her. This went on for 5 minutes. She then proceeded to end the call, made some small talk with the uncle and he proceeded to leave. She did not ask us why we were there nor did she acknowledge our presence. So, I went up to her and made the enquiries. She asked two half hearted questions and then proceeded to make a phone call on her mobile. She then continued to chat until I took her details down on a piece of paper. This was of course done on purpose in front of her.
As soon as she saw me doing that, she ended her call and shouted "APA PASAL YOU AMBIL NO SAYA?"
To which I replied "kenapa tak boleh?" The, actually no, HER madness then began.
She yelled AT me " you tak nampak saya bergayut atas telefon ke? Sekarang saya tolong you buat repot la!"
To which I said "saya memang nampak you borak atas telefon, walaupun ada dua orang duduk depan Puan untuk buat Repot."
To which she yells "You jangan ajar saya macam mana saya nak buat kerja ah!"
I replied that I was not in any way teaching her how to do her job, however I would have expected her to be more professional. And this of course incurred her wrath. She then threatened to ARREST me as I "maki hamun" her. Here she was yelling at me at the top of my voice, threatening to arrest me, saying that I "buat her angin". *followed by
pointing her finger to her temple*
I then gently reminded her that I was aware of my rights as I was practising as a lawyer and that if she insisted on arresting me for whatever reason, it would be her right to do so. The "lawyer" word further fanned her already burning anger (which would have scorched our faces had we been seated next to her) and she retorted "OH so you sangat berpelajaran la?! Saya sudah 20 tahun service tau!"
Now, as I cannot deny that I was "berpelajaran" (because I am honest that way) I nodded and said "Ya Puan, memang saya berpelajaran."
She then yells "Oh, jadi berpelajaran boleh biadap macam you la! Kurang ajar! You jangan tunjuk lagak di sini ah!" ( I swear her eyes were bulging out and would pop out at any minute)
At this point, I could no longer tolerate her bad behaviour and so I remarked " wah, dua puluh tahun service tapi masih duduk belakang counter ambil repot saja ka?"
She then picked up the phone to ask for security and said "Ada PEREMPUAN GILA di sini."
There was further yelling of how lawyers are always taking down police's particulars to complain and how I was very rude and lacked manners. I also reminded her that I was NOT the one doing all the yelling. She then proceeded to chase me out of the police station. I refused to budge and reminded her that " ini tempat awam untuk orang awam buat repot, kenapa saya tak boleh duduk sini?" Inflamed to the point of her cheeks turning a bright red, she told me to get off the chair and sit somewhere else. I of course refused and remain seated on
the chair in front of her.
10 minutes later (and followed by a lot of yelling on her part and amusement on my part)the security she called for arrived (funny how a police woman would need the shopping complex security to arrest me)
Security was represented by a rotund lady who came in asking what the problem was.Of course by the time this lady arrived Ms. Asvin had already calmed down a little and started processing my friend's report.
She then told my friend, "saya punya details sini kalau dia mau adu.Saya tak kisah pun."
It is funny how for a person who "tak kisah" she sure threw a big hissy fit when I took down her particulars.
At the end of the day, with the report in hand, we left the police station with two sets of eyes glaring and burning a big hole on my back.
PDRM Tagline:-
MESRA, CEPAT dan BETUL.
TEGAS, ADIL DAN BERHEMAH.
What a joke.

Do you know how to spell SHAME?
I think by now, the fever has died down. The cow head protesters have finally been brought to court to be charged under the Sedition Act.
I am more shamed by this whole incident than I am angered.
I am shamed because the authorities were so biased in the handling of this matter, racism was literally oozing out of their pores. How can a Minister stand in front of the rakyat, of all races, and say that the protesters did not mean to offend the Hindus?
“They said that they were very conscious and all that they wanted to do was to voice their unhappiness about the willingness of the state government to listen to their requests. I was told that even the Hindus there are not so passionate that it is built there (section 23)," says Hishamuddin.
And to Khir Toyo, the controversy its just over a "stupid" animal. But the best has yet to come. He then continues to say :-
The state government did not think... the cow's head was displayed because it is a 'stupid' animal, to show that the state government made a 'stupid' decision, and disrupted the peace of Section 23 residents. (It has) nothing to do with religious issues," he stressed.
To Hindus, a cow is a SACRED animal. But to Khir Toyo, its STUPID animal. And because cows are STUPID animals, then it just so happened (mere coincidence) that they decided to severe the cow's head and march with it (and finally upon reaching its destination, step and spit on it) to protest against the building of a temple in Sec 23 of Shah Alam. It was by chance that the cow is also a sacred animal to the Hindus. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?! Mere coincidence.
(I mean, a pigs are generally known to be the "stupider" and lazier animal, so I would have thought that would have been a better choice for displaying "stupidity". )
Now, lets put the sheer stupidity and racist comments of the Ministers and Ex MB aside, does this episode not shame you? It shames me because I have been living in this country for all my life. And never have I even encountered a group of people so racist, they probably have their faces printed next to the word "RACIST" in the dictionary. And here it is for illustration purposes:-
RACISTS:-
I have never once thought, oh my, here comes another mosque built next to the Ipoh General Hospital. I think I should protest. Chinese, Indians, Non Muslims should protest the insensitive Muslims who built a mosque next to the Hospital. No sorry, not everybody finds your 5 times a day prayer calls soothing. (In fact God may not have agreed to its location as well seeing that the dome was struck by lightning and destroyed twice)
And I am sure nobody said why do you need a total of three mosques in the vicinity of Ampang (Bukit Indah area)? How about the Chinese residents there? Or maybe the people who live in PJ (predominantly Chinese) should protest a mosque built near Sec 14, or one in Uptown. Or Indians in Bangsar should have protested the big mosque standing next to BSC. Could have used that space for a big temple ? Or a church?
This is utterly ridiculous. It is SHAMEFUL. Shameful that these people parade around waving their hands like celebrities. Thinking they have done a wonderful thing "protecting" their religion and their race. But in all honesty, what it has done is merely showcasing your IGNORANCE. That you're not but a RACIST SCUMBAG. And your children ought to be ashamed that you call yourself a Malaysian. For years you live side by side or work side by side people of other races, and in private you spit on them and their religion? And now given an opportunity, you march on the streets and insult their religion? If I were your child, I would be ashamed that you gave birth to me.
The Hindus in Sec 23 have been quiet about this whole episode. To them, it does not matter whether the temple will be in Sec 23 or Sec 19. It probably means its just a walk or a drive away for them. They prefer not to make it a big issue by saying something about this protest. You know what that shows? It shows that they respect your religion and your views. If indeed you think SHAH FREAKING ALAM is an EXCLUSIVE MUSLIM territory, then by all means, let the temple be somewhere else. Who wants a place of religion be built on land filled with hate? I wouldnt.
You drag a cow head and you step and spit on it. And then you hold out your hands and say a prayer?
God will not listen to your prayers. For you have shamed him and you have shamed your religion.
Please do not wave your arms in triumph. Please cover your face in shame.
As a Malaysian, you have brought us to a new low.

Come let's party! Oh no, not you, you're Muslim.
Malaysian Insider reports:-
"KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — Malaysia has allowed hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas to play at Arthur's Day in Sunway Lagoon on Sept 25 — one of four official global spots celebrating Guinness Stout's 250th anniversary — but only for non-Muslims.
The Information, Communication and Culture Ministry had put in this condition, apart from telling the brewery not to put any logos or sell the bitter-sweet brew at the concert."
So Black Eyed Peas will play to a concert of no Guiness logos, no Guiness drinks and no Muslims.
"Music concert rules disallow breweries or alcoholic drinks makers from sponsoring such events but the ministry relented as the concert is expected to boost the tourism industry affected by the recession and the A(H1N1) flu outbreak. "
So the concert is held to boost tourism. But effectively by banning Muslims, this kills off tourism from Indonesia and the Middle East. true? And also Singapore and Thailand visitors who happen to be Muslims. And maybe even China as one of the largest Muslim population is found in China. So essentially by tourism, we mean only gwailos from European countries and also from America. Bu truthfully, how many of these gwailos make up the tourist numbers in Malaysia?
And in all honesty, if I am American, "I definitely won't be like, coming to Malaysia, like to you know, like watch BEP here. Like." (Americans and their overuse of the word like. I can never get it.) Besides they get to party in black carpet VIP parties all throughout Canada.
And that goes to same to Europeans. There they can probably watch the BEP performances unhindered.Concerts are planned in Dublin and London. No "decent" dressing. No censorship of obscene material.
So why would anybody travel to Malaysia to watch the Arthur's Day performance of BEP?
Essentially, the BEP performance is to cater to Malaysians and those from South East Asia. Indonesia only gets a bus safari travelling through 10 of its key cities from October ok? We get BEP and Reshmonu (but that is irrelevant).
So, essentially how does it boost tourism when you ban Muslims at the concert?
AND if the Guiness brew will NOT be served at the concert, why can't Muslims attend the concert?BECAUSE it is sponsored by an alcohol company that is why they should not "taint" themselves by attending it? So then they should either stop the alcohol ads in cinemas or ban Muslims from going there and exposing themselves to those ads. Ban Muslims from going on holidays at places where alcohol is widely advertised?
This logic of banning Muslims is so utterly ridiculous, I don't know whether to laugh. Or to cry.
I feel sorry for the Muslims. If I could tell them, I would say, I am sorry Rais Yatim is an eejit. I am sorry Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali is a double eejit. I am so sorry. It really is not my fault. But I am sorry nonetheless.

I feel sorry for the Muslims. If I could tell them, I would say, I am sorry Rais Yatim is an eejit. I am sorry Datuk Dr. Hasan Ali is a double eejit. I am so sorry. It really is not my fault. But I am sorry nonetheless.

1Malaysia at its best
But the best of course is this:-
I feel so blessed to live in Malaysia. Where the politicians say : do not make everything a race issue. They ban "pornographic" pages like gutteruncensored because they run pictures of Minister's children having beer and living decadently. Because some pictures of Ministers appear with another woman, who is obviously not his wife. They ban those websites. Write things which do not paint them in a good light, they charge the bloggers under the Sedition Act and ISA, and throw them in jail.
And they also try to ban or restrict access MalaysiaToday, Malaysiakini, they barge into offices of any publications which do not worship the ground that they walk on. They revoke the license of the Herald because they used the word "ALLAH". Apparently that word is exclusive to Islam only. I don't know who died and made them Muslim's "library of acceptable words that Non Muslims can use" key keeper.
But THIS pages you see above. They remain alive and well. They remain there to spit on all races except Islam. They remain there to degrade others who do not share their logic and outlook. They call themselves graduates. These graduates whom the Government has created a special quota to ensure they get into universities. The ones who remain here to incite racial hatred.And we somehow see the newspapers yell "BRAIN DRAIN" when the good and brainy ones never bother to come back to a country that does not appreciate them. Gee.
1Malaysia.
An illusion?

WHO THE F*CK WANTS TO MARCH?
While I sat fuming in my car, stuck in a massive jam on Saturday, I did not think to myself "Its okay. They are doing this for the abolishment of the ISA."
I thought "&%#$$?!?*&. These people deserved to be shot in the head for causing this jam."
No, this is not because I am PRO-ISA (as some people have claimed) but it is purely because I have always been anti street protests. I have always been because like I have said a million times before, and a million times now, it makes no F*king difference whether you go to the streets to show your dissatisfaction or not. In fact, the jam that you caused, the inconveniences that you caused, only made people who were sitting on the fence (and no pro government or pro opposition) MORE likely than not lean towards the ruling party.
Because simply put, if I were a trader in Masjid Jamek, where the protesters threw sand in my rice pots and broke my wares, I do NOT care if I will be arrested and put in detention without trial. It will more likely than not, not affect me because I am but a man trying to eke a living. I do not involve myself in politics. And frankly, I sit at home not wondering about laws like the ISA, in fact I sit at home and I wonder whether my business will be good tomorrow. Whether I can make enough money to support my family.
And when hordes of people attack my business on a so called mission to change a law, the likelihood of which will not affect me, I get bloody upset. I get pissed that my cash for that day is affected. Do you think I will be voting for you in the next general election? HAH!
I am not saying that people who are less educated, or are of a lower income can be easily bought (much like how some parties give out cash/cows/bicycles to win votes) but these people do not care about the abolishment of laws that will not affect them, or whether Anwar gets a fair trial or not, or whether Sivarasa is remanded or not. They care about their rice bowl. So PKR, what are you doing to protect my rice bowl? By marching on the streets? Holding rallies in Kelana Jaya? Getting everybody riled up and angry with the government? Then what happens when we go home? We still go home empty handed but with a fiery temper. Tomorrow when I go to work, I still suffer the same problems. Tomorrow my standard of living still does not improve.
Know your voters. Know your rakyat.
It is a BIG FALLACY to think that a bunch of people maching on the streets can EVER do it peacefully. Please. What were you born yesterday?? IN MALAYSIA?
Hah. You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
