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.

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.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

This video does not in any way mean that I support the theory behind the parody. I just found it entertaining.

I mean no disrespect to Teoh or his family.

If indeed this is true, it sure makes us think doesn't it?

For those who do not know the extent of the rot in the judiciary, here's proof.

We can never run away from race

So a chinese man was found dead in the vicinity of the MACC building.

Let me repeat that in case you missed it.

A CHINESE man died.

To me, it did not really matter that he was CHINESE, to me it mattered that a fellow Malaysian had died. While in the custody of the MACC- a commission which objective is to stamp out corruption.
To my mind, I asked a million questions but none of those involved Teoh's race because it never, NEVER occurred to me that this was a Malay vs. Non-Malay battle.

To me, Teoh, regardless of his race/ religion/ political affiliations, is first and foremost, a person.

He is also a son. A husband to be. A father to be. A brother. And a friend.

He was never to me a PKR Chinese man.

And I abhor how everybody has seen his death from a racial/political view. Everyone, BN and PKR included has seen it fit to politicise the matter. the DPM has found it appropriate to remind BN component parties not to be shaken by this matter and to remain united.
PKR has seen it fit to yell BN's control of all government agencies are directed against the opposition and that we should all rise to fight this evil power.

I say, please. Pause.

I do not think it matters to Teoh's parents/ fiancee/family that his death was or was not because he was a chinese or a PKR supporter. To them, it matters that he is now dead. Many send condolence messages to his family, but it all comes with "we must rise against the evil powers of the ruling parties" or "MACC is evil". Even those who attended the funeral found it fit to wrap themselves in banners and poster and flood the whole procession with calls for "a Commission" and whatnot.

Are you there to mourn his death? Or are you there to rally for support for the party you are affiliated to?

TO many of us, we mourn his death. From a person to another.
Not as BN/UMNO/PKR/DAP/Gerakan/PAS 's supporters.

I don't know about you, but when I said a prayer for Teoh, I sure did not say "I hope the powers to be will suffer from this death and cause their downfall in the next election."

Of death, speculations and a possible fair trial.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you would know today's headlines screams "POLITICAL SECRETARY FOUND DEAD AT MACC'S OFFICE".

The body of Teoh Hock Beng, 30, was found dead on the 5th floor of the MACC office building. As of 9pm yesterday, his body was still in the same position and on the same floor with police swarming around it. God only knows why nobody removed the body which had been discovered since 1.30pm.

Of course everybody (who cared enough to wonder about our stinky political scene) speculated that this was not a simple case of Teoh being under pressure after being questioned by the MACC on the probe into allegations of misuse of allocations by several state assemblymen, thereby taking his own life. He was taken into questioning since Wednesday evening and was only released (only to be told to come back the next day with documents) at 3.45am. (I didn't know Government/Government controlled officers worked past 4.30pm)

How can this man, who was to be married the next day to his fiancee, and described by many colleagues and ex colleagues as a man with "faith in life" and one who was "strong", could have possibly taken his own life and over this issue which the MACC has alleged "did not involved him, but he was merely a witness to it."?
Many questions are left unanswered.

Some things that pop up in my head:-
1. Ean Yong, the Seri Kembangan state assemblyman, and also employer of Teoh, was not allowed to speak to him when he went to MACC at around midnight and was also not informed of his death.
2. Teoh apparently loitered around the building after he was released from questioning. In the first place, why would MACC officers allow a person brought in for questioning loiter around their office? And at 3.45am in the morning?
3. How can the MACC building not have any CCTVs?The court complex has it. Even apartments have it. Small mini markets have it. Hotels have it. Most government offices have it. But MACC does not? Weird.

And I find it really amusing that Selangor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said police would conduct a thorough investigation into Teoh’s death and pledged “no cover-up.”

They actually have to pledge that there will be no cover up. It makes me wonder about the faith that we have in our authorities on their professionalism. The police have to make a pledge that there will be no cover up because the majority of us already know/feel that there will/may be some form of cover up. After all, this involves a member of the opposition party. Not the government in power.

I wouldn't be surprise if the initial classification of "sudden death" remains. And now that Teoh has passed, nobody outside of the MACC will ever know what he had to say about this whole fiasco. For me, its not even about whodunnit. Because I do not want to speculate. However I wonder why a man aged 30, would kill himself (if he had done so) on the eve of his marriage registration? What happened in the MACC office during questioning? What happened between the hours of 345am to 6am (last seen alive) to make this man want to take his life? Or for someone else to take away his life? What type of political filth are we currently dealing with that a man had to resort to killing himself/be killed? I tremble at the thought.

So many questions we hope we will get answers too. Because a dead man cannot speak. We can only cross our fingers that those who are tasked to find evidence to speak on his behalf, will be honest, truthful and have a conscience to ensure justice is done.

However today I am comforted by the fact that perhaps, DSAI would actually have a fair trial before Justice Zabidin Mohd Diah. Finally, a judge who recognises that under Section 51A of the Criminal Procedure Code, the Accused is allowed access to witness statements. For years, us defence lawyers have been fighting for access to these statements. Simply because a man on trial, who is entitled to a fair trial, should know what these people have said AGAINST him or FOR him. But all these while, the prosecution had reserved the element of surprise. If there is something against the Accused, the use it in FULL FORCE, if there is anything FOR the Accused, its classified "privileged".

I say it is about time Malaysia buck up. We are so far behind in the development of the law we should all be ashamed.

Beauty with Brains. Or not.

You know how they say being a beauty queen does not necessarily mean that you're dumb?

Well, all good theories must come to an end one day right?

So I present to you Ms. Malaysia Model of the World 2009,

(look ma! I am the winner, wait, I change my mind, no wait I am the winner!)

MELISSA WONG!

Now, this fashion designer had beaten out 25 other contestants to win the crown.
So she sashayed down the runway, waving her beauty queen wave. Smiling and thinking "IMMA WINNER IMMA WINNER!"

Then she changes her mind.
She decides, NAH, I can't make the trip to China to represent Malaysia in the Model of the World contest.

I guess someone must have whispered in her ear after she was announced the winner that she would actually HAVE to travel to China to represent Malaysia.
So she decided, NAH, I think I will switch my crown with the runner up and let HER do the travelling to China because of my so called alleged spine injury surgery which I think may hinder me from properly representing Malaysia. (at least she has Malaysia's interest at heart, no?)

Then she changes her mind again.

She decides, you know what? I think I can make it. I think I'll go to China after all!
*cue applause*

Except that the organisers decided that she can take her fickle mindedness elsewhere and/or shove it up her you know where.

So, the runner up is now the Winner.

So what did they say about beauty with brains again?

Sorry. I forgot what I was out to say in the first place.

How a Frenchman will promote Malaysia.

Have you heard of anything more ridiculous than this??

"KUALA LUMPUR, June 24 — The government has allocated RM1 million for former Ferrari Formula One team boss Jean Todt to spend over two years as Malaysia’s Tourism ambassador."

But wait, the best is yet to come :-

The tourism Minister then goes on to say :-

“One million in Europe gets you nothing nowadays,” she said, defending the appointment.

And of course, the thing that made me want to put on a full face of make up, get dressed and rush out the door to pat her on the back is this:-

"She added that Todt was chosen for his international presence and connectivity, which would give Malaysia greater visibility.

Ng claimed that Todt had personally helped the ministry make influential contacts in Paris, including a top film producer, magazine publisher and aides of French president Nicolas Sarkozy."

Well, I dont know about the rest of you, but I would love to know who the "top film producer" is. And also who this "magazine publisher" is and of course, the AIDES of the Sarkozy.

Cos I am just WAITING in anticipation for these people to come over because Jean Todt somehow managed to "INFLUENCE" them to:-

1) invest in Malaysia; OR

2) make a film in Malaysia; OR

3) mention the name "Malaysia" in their movie/magazine; OR

4) Suddenly the Frech Prez is going to ask Airbus to stop charging Malaysia so much for their damned Airbus; OR

5) Give Air Asia/MAS free Airbus.

Its TOTALLY WORTH THE RM1 MILLION EUROS. totally. 100%.

Of course it would not make any sense to get a Malaysian to promote Malaysia. What rubbish! What do you mean Zang Toi would be a good choice? Who is he?! Jimmy Choo? What do WE care that he once dressed Princess Diana's feet?

We prefer someone who is French and has a Malaysian girlfriend. Someone who was at one time some big arse in Ferrari. Someone whom nobody really knows actually but somehow has links to A top movie producer, magazine publisher and Sarkozy's aides.

Impressive aint it? That is why he was a natural choice. He is going to go around the world, with his expenses paid by the Malaysian government, snickering and laughing his ass to the bank that the Malaysian Government is stupid enough to invest money in this hare brained scheme called the "tourism ambassador".

We appreciate Todt so much, we even awarded him a Datukship. Just by doing Michelle Yeoh, I mean, just by having a Malaysian girlfriend, he got a Datukship. At least Shah Rukh Khan had to MAKE a movie here first.

Now he is one lucky rich Malaysian Tourism Ambassador.

A peek into a future without English

I don't get the whole "remove teaching Maths and Science in English" thing.

You know what happens when us Malaysians cannot command the language?

This may just happen to the youths of Malaysia:-



I don't know about you, but that video sends chills down my spine.

English is necessary. Just deal with it. The rest of the world (except maybe minority in Singapore in Indonesia) does not speak Bahasa Melayu you know?

ticking or charging?it depends on which side of the fence you're on

If you are Utusan, and you publish articles which and I think would fit squarely under the definition of "seditious tendency"-

"3. (1) A "seditious tendency" is a tendency -

....

(e) promote feelings of ill will and hostility between different races or classes of the population of Malaysia...."

you get this:-



a TICKING OFF.

Now, if you are any other non supporter of the Government and you publish an article which reeks of truth...

you get:-



CHARGED IN COURT UNDER THE SEDITION ACT.

Fair?

You be the judge.

Every woman can give birth.( Unless of course, you have some medical problems )
But every woman can give birth to a child.

But not every woman can be a mother.




And hence, if you are not ready to be a mother, please do the world a favour, keep those legs closed. And shove your lust aside, or at least don some protection because the LAST THING we need, is an unfit mother. the LAST thing we need is a mother who spent 9 months carrying a child in her womb, only to inflict hurt on her child.

Do not hold your breath.

Who is holding their breath for the Court of Appeal's decision on Nizar's right to be MB?

I am not.

I already know what the COA will say.
This is a case of constitutional importance. Which will affect all of Perak. In fact one which will affect all Malaysians. This is the case which will show the impartiality, independence and soundness of the judiciary (and of the legitimacy of the Government).
But the judiciary/government/BN-UMNO has decided ONE JUDGE will seal the deal.

Who is surprised? Not me.

To know what is right vs knowing how to do it right

This morning, a fellow lawyer and friend asked me if I would be attending the EGM this Friday.
Firstly I said "what EGM?" and secondly I said "What for?"

I was then asked to watch this video:-



After watching this video, I was asked to read a blog of one of the lawyers here.

So like I said in my previous posting, I said the lawyers may have threatened or demanded to see those arrested and I said I was not there and I stand corrected. So, here I admit, there were no threats, but clearly from the video you can see that they were insistent and demanded to see those arrested.

Firstly, yes, these as you can see, are very junior lawyers much like myself. And it is normal to come full with ideals of the law and the rights of the accused and the rights of lawyers to represent the accused persons. However, any seasoned lawyer will tell you that there really is no need for aggression.

Obviously the OCPD was fuming. Obviously if he was already shouting TANGKAP TANGKAP like a mad idiot shows that it probably would not do you any good to stand outside after he had yelled for all of you to bersurai to keep staying there and insisting to be allowed inside. To be fair to the police, whenever anyone is arrested, they are not given any access to the lawyers until perhaps a little later or the next day. Why should these people who were arrested for holding the candlelight vigil be any different? (Of course the reason as to why they were arrested is laughable and beyond idiocy but that is a different story altogether)

I am not saying that the lawyers were not doing what they should have done, I am saying that it could have been done differently. Where were the senior lawyers? Why is it that a bunch of young inexperienced lawyers were sent out there to "fight for the rights" of those who had their rights violated?

I am sorry, but I still stand by my belief. I know what is right, but I also know how it should be done and the way it was done as shown in the video above, is just not it.

Why lawyers are annoying

You know what it is about lawyers which is so annoying? The I am greater than thou attitude. The YOU KNOW WHO I AM OR NOT? YOU KNOW WHAT I DO?

That is all bullshit man. Surgeons around the world are doing face transplants, doctors around the world are saving lives, scientists around the world are looking for cures for AIDS and coming up with artificial eyes for the blind and Stephen Hawking is still a living, breathing talking man despite his condition. Those people, if they want to gloat a little, or maybe yell YOU KNOW WHAT I DO OR NOT? Well, they can.

But lawyers. Damn. Those people are just annoying.

Yesterday I received a text at around 12am from a friend who informed me that 5 lawyers were arrested in the Brickfields police station. Now, I have mentioned before in here that I DO NOT subscribe to street protests and useless gatherings and demonstrations. Because to me, that does not solve anything, in fact it makes the authorities even more agitated and more inclined to show what type of power they can yield.

I gently reminded my friend that perhaps, these gathering of lawyers for a show of power is not the best solution. Perhaps, the Bar Council president who was there, ought to have pulled the OCPD aside and asked, NICELY, whether he could have maybe a minute or two to see the arrested lawyers and to see how they intend to proceed with the matter.

Instead, I can bet my life, the lawyers yelled and shouted, screamed and kicked up a fuss about not being able to see their fellow brothers in robes. In fact, I think these screaming,kicking,fussing and demanding was probably what got them arrested in the first place. But I was not there, so I stand corrected. However what I WILL say is this:-

Sure, the PDRM can be considered a piece of dog shit when it comes to being impartial. They are biased, much like every government agency is, but I think, it is hardly justifiable for the police man/men who sat in the Brickfields police station to haul 5 lawyers into the cells just because the ASKED to see those who were arrested during the candlelight vigil. I sincerely, truly doubt it. What I sincerely truly believed is that the lawyers made a fuss, a big whole ruckus, possibly made some legal threats, maybe spit a little (say it, dont spray it) and did some table banging and INSISTED they be GIVEN THE LEGAL RIGHT to have representation.

Darling, legal rights exists. But yelling it on top of your lungs and demanding it isnt going to get you anywhere. Mahatma Gandhi didnt get where he did by yelling his right as an Indian citizen to freedom. Tunku Abdul Rahman did not stomp the British offices demanding Malaya's independence because it was OUR RIGHT TO BE FREE! No siree, it was done properly, peacefully and rightfully.

So, all my brothers in robes out there, please, press pause.

Knowing what is right and doing it properly is one thing but knowing what is right, and insisting, demanding, threatening and yelling it has to be done the LEGAL way is really, another winding, slow path to death.

shame vs pride. which one are you?

Today, some of us will feel a surge of pride. While some will drown in shame. And those who know what is right or wrong, will know which emotion to subscribe to.

Barisan Nasional has proven to us once again why, when Najib told us that he was the man of all Malaysians(the ONE MALAYSIA concept which he so cleverly coined) it was nothing but a big fat joke.

It is a big fat joke because us Malaysians living in Perak want fresh elections when our so called representatives allegedly resigned. We the Malaysians in Perak want our rightful Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Nizar to remain our Menteri Besar. We the Malaysians in Perak really hoped and wished that Hee the betrayer of not only residents in Jelapang but of all PR supporters, had instead of tearing the RM50 note offered by Thomas Su to Ganesan the impromptu speaker, taken it and done what Thomas Su had suggested which is to "go and die".

We the Malaysians in Ipoh want all of the above. So, if you are a man of all Malaysians, why do you not heed what we want? Why do you forcefully remove our rightful speaker from his seat


and placed an idiot who keeps adjourning the assembly under the advice of someone else because he does not know the procedure? What type of democracy are you subscribing to? Obviously it is not the same one that I subscribe to.

What excuse do you have for the fracas that happened in Perak? Are you closing an eye to what is happening ? Are you petrified that us Malaysians in Ipoh/Perak will throw out BN without even a sec, or a milisecond of hesitation?

You should be very afraid.

And that is why you tremble in fear when there are calls for fresh elections. When you know you can wriggle and illegally force your way through with corrupt money and corrupt politicians, why bother with the proper way? It makes sense that if you are in Penanti and you know its a lose lose situation, you call your decision not to contest as "saving the taxpayers money". But when there is a possibility you can corruptly buy your way into the hearts of the voters and politicians, you splash out millions and millions in your campaigning.

Today, I KNOW I surge in pride for all whom have stood up for what they believed in. Whether it be wearing black, standing in the hot sun outside the State Secretariat Building, donning your robes inside or refusing to give up your proper rightful seat, you should all be proud.

As for the rest. This is how you spell it. S.H.A.M.E.

And this is the sentence in which it should be fitted in:-

SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.

What pain?

Extract from the Sun today :-

"TWO DOCTORS AT EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT FOUND IDLING"
*shock horror.ohmygawd.is this true?

Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M.Saravanan was shocked to find that instead of attending to patients who were waiting at the emergency department, two doctors were reading newspapers and minding their own business and doing his own stuff.

First of all, why is he shocked? Are you shocked ? I am not. It is not unusual for government doctors(also every other government servant) to idle around "minding their own business".
Let digress to a conversation I had with a court staff the other day.

Me: *calls out to court staff who came out of the office to pass something to someone at the counter* Puan, En. Azman ada?
Civil Servant: Guna telephone.
Me: Dah cuba tapi tak ada orang angkat telefon. Boleh check sama ada En. Azman ada kat dalam?(They are all in the same office, possibly around 20 tables in there)
CS: Dia tak angkat dia takde-la. *quickly shuffles away*

ANYWAY,back to the story.

After all, emergency means nothing to them. Emergency is maybe a rank below "I dont give a rat's ass" or just a little above " I dun give two rats ass".

Anyway, the best quote of the day goes to *drum roll* HKL Director Datuk Dr. Zaininah Mohd Zain for this gem of a saying :-

"Hospital's investigations showed that there were ONLY eight patients and 20 relatives and that NONE of the patients were in pain because " we practise holistic pain care service and pain (is assessed) as the fifth vital sign."

AND
it gets better..

"Our hardworking doctors are but human" and if they are reading newspapers when there were no cases (nobody in pain to be precise) it should not be interpreted as neglecting their responsibility." (only if they accidently cut off the wrong leg, or cause a limb to fall of, pull a baby out of the womb way too hard..then it MAY be negligence.MAY Be only.)

And the government wonders why people would rather risk the idea of dying on the way to a private hospital 600km away then do a hop skip to the government hospital a stone's throw away.

After all, pain apparently has its own measurement in Government hospitals.

Probably something like this :-

1. Slight pain
2. Pain
3. Damn painful
4. IT HURTS MOTHERFKER, IT HURTS!
4.5 Government hospital's holistic approach to pain intervenes and decides, nope, not enough pain.
5. Too dead to know there is pain.

Then if you die, the forensic pathologist will say " Natural Death."

Case closed.

After reading Yasmin Ahmad's blog entry today, I think everybody should listen to this man. A religious man, but not one without compassion.(or common sense).

High Tech Siuuttt...

I BET, not a lot of you know that Malaysia is SO blardy high tech that we are the ONLY country in the world with a chip based passport(or if we are not, we are the pioneer)? And also the first country in the world to introduce a chip based credit card?(The Americans have no idea how to use it) And also identification cards which require your fingerprints to be verified for its authenticity? (Let us thank IRIS for all that)
(I know, all of you can gasp in disbelief, but Malaysia is WAY MORE HIGH TECH than Microsoft. TAKE THAT BILL GATES!)
(THIS is when I feel compelled to yell MALAYSIA BOLEH!)

The story is, whatshisname, oh yea ex-President Bush asked his Cabinet - "why is it that a small country like Malaysia can come up with such a FANTASTIC technology like the chip based passport, but we can't?" (this is a true story, cos I heard it from someone who is closely connected to IRIS)

So what is the use of this super high tech chip based passport? To make detecting people easier. The rumour is that eventually, the Government will make the chip on our identification cards GPS enabled. So that each and every person can be detected. (Privacy? Bah Humbug!) So, currently our passport is so blardy high tech, wherever we go, we realise that other countries are so low tech, we still have to line up to have the passport checked by a human being. Sheesh.

Anyway, the whole point of my rant is this.

Malaysia is so high tech. Passport high tech? Check. ID card high tech? Check. ATM card high tech? Check. Credit Card high tech? Check.

But, still we get this :-

"Helmi Malek, the former boyfriend of Selangor exco member Elizabeth Wong has yet to be traced, says Kuala Lumpur CID chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah"

Then what is all the use of the high tech things? when you cannot even trace a man who obviously will have to use his passport and his identity cards or even his ATM or Credit Cards to be running around wild in some other country.

Cheh.
