the answers fail on questions


As long as the answers
Fail to correspond to the questions
Fail to satisfy the need of the people
The scandals will not go away

Attorney General can say what he wants
The answer is just to cover up holes
The people will still aren't satisfied
Show the public the documents

Why he keep quiet?
He accepted the culprits explanation
To drop the charges when he shouldn't
There are too many holes involved!

Now other countries are investigating
Singapore authority has found the links
The way it was done and the banker involved
What will our AG say?

The scandals will not go away
It will a pain in our necks
We know we will have to pay
While the culprits seem to walk free

Anyone who habours a crook
The law will not stay blind
In time the law will teach and punish

Then Bamboo River will be singing

in the work's place



In the work's place
You want to stay happy
You spend your time for hours
You don't need the bad vibes

Once you find no glow
Once you aren't appreciated
Once you realize you are not rewarded
Once you feel you are put in cold storage

It is time to move on
Forget the years you put in service
It is no use suffering in silence
The cold treatment to make you quit

You work to be happy
Enjoy some comforts of life
Live in joyous mood and family
You don't need the bad vibes

Once the going is bad
Everything you do come out nothing
It's time to take the scissor
Cut off the umbilical cord and move

There shouldn't be any regret
You try your best and you are unwanted
What's there to stay around?
It's better to go find a new ground


the small islands


The small islands
Away from the preying eyes
The marine police should survey
Let it show its presence there

These are the areas
The pirates will hide
Take hostages demand ransoms
They have the speed boats

The mapping must be clear
Let no intruders wade into and hide
The open sea the easy targets
For the pirates and human trafficking

Maybe one day it can be
The base of terrorists attacks
The marine police should step it up
The small islands on the sea

the thunder


The thunder rolling
The dark clouds emerge
The loud thumping
The beat of Nature

The flashes of light
It sparks in the eyes
The ears pick up the sound
Sometimes it makes the jump

The searching of evil ones
They hide under the trees
In the homes they are afraid
Of the praying and singing

The thunder rolling
The light flashes in the sky
The tree branches fall
The evil ones get hit*

We don't hear the scream
It is as silence as the dead
We only see the quick flashes
From the windows saying a short prayer

The cats will run to hide
Under the bushes, broken tables or chairs
Sometimes they huddle underneath the roof
Afraid of the rain; beauty will be gone a while

But the thunder keeps rolling
In the dark clouds and the rain
Somewhere on the low lying areas
People will cry living in fear of tides


* the tales from the old

the crying shame


The crying shame
When you are caught in the red
No matter how you want to spin
You can't escape the gossiping

You can say
You are at the wrong place
When events happen
You are at the wrong end of the street

With streaming video
It will hit the net so quick
You don't have time to respond
You know it is true

But the spin has to go on
Caught in the red
It doesn't mean it is true
It can be at the wrong place

The crying shame
When leaders fail to see
The right and wrong everyday
Words they can twist and spin

Nobody can escape
The angels will record it
When the day arrives
No more lies and tales

The crying shame
When you are caught in the red
Words you can twist and spin
The angels will record it


the gated homes


The gated homes
The security guards on display
Watching the drivers or guests
Streaming in and out everyday

The security measures imposed
For the safety of the homes and inhabitants
The people don't want to worry
About robberies, thefts or rapists

Even then they know
They have to look out for themselves
There are bad hats on the prowl
Driving cars snooping around

Once they find the target
They will wait somewhere
When the gate is open
They will rush in...

So quick on time
Take what they want and drive away
Before you can do anything
They will be gone

In gated homes
Don't forget to stay alert
It has happened before
Mind you it will strike again

public transport

The public transport
It hasn't well connected
You have to wait for hours
Until you get fed up with it

The buses don't drive on time
It waits for the drivers
Sometimes they take a while
Those days of my time

I used to climb through the windows
Fed up to wait in the long queue
I did the easy way out to climb in
Monkey saw monkey did!

The bus management didn't see
They only wanted to see profits
Forgetting the passengers comfort
Everybody complained

Of course the government ministers will say
If you can afford it, go buy yourself a car
Otherwise use public transport to work or leisure”
Nothing of affirmative ever came

It is a good thing the London Mayor did
Maybe he can make the improvements
Since he has his first hand knowledge
Growing up listening to his father

Don't be like Koh Tsu Koon
Tried once and nothing came
Don't ask the Tokong
He thinks he can fly

For me I had my memories
I could sleep in the bus
Forgetting about the heat
I just wanted to forget


the sky is blue



The sky is blue
The seagulls flying along
The reflection on the sea
I wish I can fly away

The sky is blue
I count the birds in the sky
They are so free
I am on the ground

The sea of reflections
The boats gliding by
The boatmen wave
Want a ride?”

I turn my head
I see a woman waves them
No..I am good here
Watching the seagulls”

The sky is blue
The seagulls flying along
I watch the boatmen wave
The woman waves them on


it won't be long



It won't be long
The change we see
We hope and pray
It will hit the road

Nothing will stop
What the future will bring
Even fear will not shake it away
Even going to prison makes no difference

It won't be long
The liars and cheaters
The fork tongues and corruptors
They will face the music

The Bamboo River is calling
The band of bad people
The day will see you in cages
It won't be long

Now you can enjoy it
It won't be long
It will be gone
Bamboo River is calling

It won't be long
The liars and cheaters
The fork tongues and corruptors
Bamboo River is calling

It won't be long
The change we see
We hope and pray
It better comes quick


the bird and its nest




The bird and its nest
On the green bamboo trees
Nestled it in proper holding
The time to try once again

The bul bul yellow belly birds
They tried 2 times but failed
The eggs were eaten by the yellow bird
Leaving the nest empty once more

Now it shifted to the porch
Of the bamboo trees near the windows
Thinking the yellow bird will not dare
Flying into it to steal the eggs

Every time the door opens
The bird will take flight
So far no yellow bird snooping around
The eyes still stay in the nest

the heavy rain



The heavy rain
The sleepless nights
The homes on the low areas
The houses near to river banks

The history of the floods
It will arrive to take charge
Though many have known
The floods will never go away

The cloudy weather
In a few days to cool
The rising water and flash floods
Is there anything new?

Year in year out
There will be deaths on the floods
It is just like a sacrifice
And the heavy rain will cry

the game of under-dogs


The game of under-dogs
Many will say they will be gone
They can't race with the pack
They don't have the punch
They just make the number

The game of under-dogs
They know they will lose the game
Nobody will give them the chances
They have to make it themselves
Wake up their spirit and make the fight
It makes all the difference

The game of under-dogs
They can be dangerous in their minds
Once they see an opportunity
Nothing will stop them
They will come running
With full guns shooting away!

Who say under-dogs don't win?
In every game there is the opportunity
It is how it is taken which makes the difference
The under-dogs don't write them off!
As long as the game is being played


a few silver dollars




They can't see the light
Too many late nights
Too many living in the dark
The eyes have blinded the scenes
They don't see the reality
They think they can survive
Living from the crumbs

The crooks take it away
The treasures they seek to find
Once they get their hands on it
They will tell the long tales
The scented words killing softly
The weak minds and the eyes
Throwing a few silver dollars
The ringing tone when it falls

The people who don't see
They can't fight to keep their shares
They think they get a good deal
Listing to the ringing silver bells
Cutting across the river
The crocodiles lazing on its bank
Pretending to slumber in the light
Just waiting to catch the fools
Looking for the silver dollars

The long tales into the night
The fools think they get it right
The crooks take all the treasures
Singing they get all the satisfaction
Well..the fools hunting the silver dollars
The crocodiles waiting for their fall


pakatan harapan


Pakatan Harapan
They know the enemy
Yet they don't unite
The line will be drawn
What will the leaders do?
Scream at each other?
Brutus in every corner?

PKR wants to play the spoil
The leaders should say it once and all
Don't try to run on its on
Stick to the pact or better leave
Why go with Pas when the latter sing with the enemy?
Have principles or else go over the fence

The people are watching
Sarawakians think of themselves
They like to be addicted on handouts
The country still stays backwards
The hinterland takes days to reach
But do they care?
Once they were the fierce warriors
What happen in their lives?
Addiction to the crumbs!

Pakatan Harapan
Lick your wounds
Taste the defeat understand it now
Once you aren't united
You think you can win?
Where your enemy
Throwing cash, goods and projects

Pakatan Harapan
Wake up from the defeat
Learn your lessons well
The path is still Putrajaya
Get your act together
Or kiss the long goodnight


the crocodiles


The crocodiles in the brown colour river
Gliding slowly living the way of the full
The ripples on the water spreading wide
Along the banks sometimes they bask in the sun

The river people who forget
Many have disappeared in the river
The crocodiles will wait for their meals
The foolish people think they can outwit it

The river people mustn't travel alone
Without weapons to fight the enemy
The crocodiles swim silently to its prey
Once they attack what is the defence?

Nothing really with instinct of a kill
Once it bites into the helpless body
It is only the screaming of pain
Ringing in the river of crocodiles

So don't get addicted
To the crumbs throwing around
When the addiction pulls in
Crying will not help

It is better to fight free
Get the addiction out of the way
Don't get fooled all the times
Bee Anne works on fear and divide

Let them celebrate in frenzy
Let them throw the punches wild
Wait for the knockout punch
They will surprise in the end

don't like to live in yesterday


Don't like to live in yesterday
It has gone so have the times
It doesn't have anything to say
The days ahead the years to come

The events have gone
The good and bad in one's life
Don't like to live in yesterday
It never bring back again

Don't like to live in yesterday
The memories in the mind
It doesn't bring back to reality
It has gone so have the times

See the old people
They sit on the bench
Dreaming about yesterday
It never bring back to reality

Don't like to live in yesterday
It has gone so have the times
Going forward will bring better chances
It is the time waiting to be had


the full game to play



The Bee Anne leaders singing
The good vibes ringing in the air
They think they can win over
They must be dreaming

The real test isn't here
It is Putrajaya the prize
Once the centre is taken
Maybe they will ask why

The scandals aren't going away
The years it will make a return
As long as the people have to pay
It can't be swept away

There are two by-elections
The opposition will have a equal chance
Not like in Sarawak banning the opposition
Though the party won but it was hollow

The real test in GE14
The Waterloo to decide
The change we want
The misery in years to come

it takes a win to forget many failures


Sarawak election came and gone
Bee Anne linked parties won
With a bigger majority
The opponents got the bad

UEC and English Language
It gave the party the edge
And the open bribery in projects
Cash in brown envelopes

Now EC has to investigate
The law of election relating to the report
Let no party run away with it
But will EC get the ball?

Pakatan Harapan hiccups
The road of many thorns indeed
They better wake up now
Iron up their differences

The road to Putrajaya
That is the goal in its plan
Don't start to disunite
Don't let greed destroy it all

Every time it fails
There are lessons to be learned
It takes a win to forget
The many failures in the past!


so eager to fall in love


So eager to fall in love
So eager to get into the sack
Forget about protocol
Forget about common sense

Many have fallen victims
They lose their dignity
They lose their savings
They will cry all in vain

The shame they feel
So eager to fall in love
So eager to get into the sack
Once they are in they forget

They only see stars
It isn't the real ones
They are cheated
So eager to fall in love

The constant advice fail
They think they are smarter
Until they get swindled
Losing their self worth and shame

So eager to fall in love
So eager to get into the sack
They only see stars
It isn't the real ones

the bad angels


The dogs howling
In the morning of the sun
The dogs can see
The ghosts live in day and night

Passing through the road
The hot sun beaming its light
The old people will feel the chill
Of the story of taking souls

The story of animal heads
With chains and spears walking
In the light and dark to take souls
Leaving the dogs barking in sorrow

We will never know
The world of the darkness roams
We only believe what we imagine
In God's world living the free

The bad angels
They will create all kinds
Revenge is their motive
The humans shouldn't be alive!

The dogs howling
In the morning of the sun
The bad angels
Walking with revenge in their minds


the memories good and bad


The dead all gone
Leaving behind the memories
The deeds will be shared
Through the years

Even the bad too
They will not be forgotten
In the crimes world
They can be heroes

The factory will roll in
Every time there is a vacuum
A new kid will come into the view
Make the best or the worst

We are here
Learn the good and bad
The good deeds and misdeeds
Leave our footprints behind

Some may have history
Others may have nothing
Just a simple tombstone
To remind there was a time


there is still hope


What is there to say?
The cold turkey Sarawakians fail
They still get hooked to their addiction
Collecting crumbs thinking it is good

Now the majority has spoken
The votes they cast will haunt them
When the drawbacks of greed and corruption
And promises fail to materialize

The once feared warriors
They have been reduced to followers
They can't hold their heads high can they?
Knowing to the let the minority rule!

Don't they see the scandals?
We all have to pay through our pockets
When the implosion erupts on our faces
What will we become then?

There is no domino effect
The opposition sadly can't see
They still argue about their own
Know the common enemy but fail to unite

Now the focus shift to GE14
By then the opposition pact better unite
If PKR can't play ball, better let the party go
Too many Brutus aren't good to rule

There is still hope
To take control of the nation
By the new kid coming out to shout
The light of a new birth for the nation

the game will be over


They want a good life
They will do anything to take it
Even lying to prop it up
The puppets on the strings

They will dance
By pulling the strings
Up under the control
Of somebody's game

They can smell the cash
They can smell the days
Even lying in a straight face
The double standards never say

The people wait
The right moment to hit
They have seen the ills
They have heard the corruption

It will not be long
The game will be over
The bad hats will be caged
They will cry for a long time

flying in the clouds


The whirring blades
The sound in the clouds
The day will be fine
The helicopter singing in the sky

The pilot checks his instruments
Everything lights up in his eyes
The whirring blades singing
He has nothing to fear

The gravity releases its grips
The helicopter taking higher
Away from the maddening crowd
Flying in the clouds

The birds fly to peek
The pilot sees and flies away
Oh that's a big bird!
We better keep away”

The passengers in high spirit
The voices low and some close eyes
Thinking what to eat and drink
When the helicopter touches the ground

The sudden turbulence
The whirring blades died
Flying in the clouds
The nosedive trembling cry

The pilot can't handle it
The screaming voices he hears
He tries his best to fly the bird
It plunges deep into the jungle

The silence in the forest
The mangled parts and broken bodies
The gravity takes control in the end
Say our prayers we never know time and day
