some knots have to let go


The long shadow in Singapore
Finally she can breathe easy
The shadow of her founder
Developed the tiny dot into a giant

Now that he was gone
Leaving behind the memories
The rules of his political games
Many will remember

Friends and foes
They have their shares
No doubt Singapore stands out
Nobody can deny that fact

Will the next generations have backbones?
Bending their ways of how to manage?
The long shadow of modern Singapore
He had gone never he would return

The next generations in Singapore
The old route shouldn't be taken again
The scenes are different today
Some knots have to let go


you are the best


You are the best
The day I saw you
I never wanted to forget
Rain or shine you will

You are the best
Everything you do
You don't worry
You know you have to

You are the best
When sickness falls
You stay awake and listen
Carrying it on with caring

You are the best
I know I never get less
You will make it through
For me all the years





if you don't know


If you don't know
It is best to stay silence
Collect your information
Learn it in another way

But there are people
They don't stay quiet
They always think they have
All the answers

What come out
It is just rubbish
It never makes the day
It makes them look foolish

Sometimes staying silence
Perception of unpreparedness
But sometimes it is for the last run
When everyone has said his piece

the helicopter crashed


The helicopter crashed
6 people died on the spot
The Captain and his passengers
All perished when it exploded in mid-air

They were flying back from Pekan
Attended the pm's daughter wedding
Among the crashed victims was JJ
We heard about him groping a woman's butt

A police report was made
The press got the wind of it
We heard the woman withdrew
But the police report stayed

The police said it would be investigated
It was just the news nothing came out of it
The perception in the public minds
Money seemed to change hands

Jamaluddin Jarjis
The advisor to prime minister
Now he returned to the Maker
In body parts a sad way to go

This is karma
We never know our fate
So always stay the correct way
Paradise will come naturally

we have our choice in life



Death makes no appointment
The dark angel will strike at any moment
One minute a person is smiling
The next moment he is dead!

Some will say it is karma
The appointed time has arrived
Nobody can escape the route
It is just a one way street

Once you enter it
As everyone will
You have to stay alert
The pitfall of many holes

Along the way
Don't forget to perform good deeds
It may help you to cover the potholes
In the darkness fall nobody will hear you scream

Don't ever think to acquire illegal wealth
You may think you will enjoy the luxurious life
The bad karma will come into the circle
The dark angel will wait for your fall

When we have our lives
Try to do all the good in life
No wealth will go with you
The place you are going

It is the good deeds
It will stand tall in time of need
To hell or paradise
We have our choice in life


the knots must be free


Don't hang Sirul yet
He still plays his cat and mouse game
He wants to live so his family hopes
But don't try your luck too far out

The All Souls Day tomorrow
The lost souls will not rest in peace
Lives will be paid for the crimes committed
Sirul should say his piece

Who ordered the hit?
Don't take the blame
You are in Ozzie land
You better stay put there

But the price is this
You have to tell your story
You can't go keep us guessing
Release your burden and be free

Don't let the murderers walk free
Help us close the chapter for the nation
Your life means nothing to these people
You have been used, done and sentenced

Atlantuya will not rest in peace
Over 8 years we still hear her cries
The knots must be free
The souls of the departed

love comes and goes


Love comes and goes
Don't we all know?
Once we have it
We feel the world

We don't care what others say
In our eyes love is right
What's there to get it wrong?
It is such a beautiful song

We think others are jealous
We think they can't stand our sight
We will do without thinking
We want the world to see

But love comes and goes
Today or tomorrow or yesterday
We will turn back the pages
“How can we be that stupid?!”


the master and his pupil


The clash of wills
Once a leader before
One under his guidance
Now the clashes of methods

The grey cells are active
The former leader never retreats
He will say his piece
Right or wrong he still says it

The present leader
He doesn't take criticisms
He can't take the opposite view
He just maintains his elegant silence

The baggage he carries
It is too heavy f*or him to drag
Yet he still thinks he can manage
The unsettling cases he can't explain

The promises he doesn't keep
The PR exercises to gain cheap publicity
On the ground he hardly notices
The placard he shows just unbelievable

The current leader just loses ground
With the major missteps he has fallen
By right he should be sacked
For bringing a bad name to the nation

The days ahead we will see
The clash of wills
The master and his former pupil
Let's us watch the drama


the souls of departed


The slow drumbeats
In the silence of a time
The sound of its calling
Somebody must wake up

Find the truth of a crime
It doesn't have to hide
The tragedy came and gone
The persons involved walking free

The souls of the departed
They can't stay quiet forever
The slow drumbeats
In the silence of a time

The questions will keep flowing
There will be no answer to deflect it
The misty flow of the night
The taking of souls one day will knock the doors

Somebody must wake up
The truth will clear the sky of darkness
The souls of the departed
They demand the crimes to be paid


the houses give way



We spend our life saving
On our homes we purchase
Thinking that will be long term investment
When our lives are spent

The pride in our eyes
When we finally make the cut
The new homes to live by
No more paying rent

We never think of the future
Of the ground which may give way
The housing developer never says
So will the approving authorities

We believe we will stay
The homes will remain on in our lives
But nightmares do happen
The ground gives way

Now the pieces of our lives
It will start all over again
Some can't get on with it
They spent it all...

What now for these people?
Who will bear the liability?
A long term investment turns bad
The house owners can't sleep well

why don't you stay?


Why don't you stay?
You say you would but you changed
Walking away from me
In the middle of the night

You don't look back to me
You walk with steady grace
I only stand there I never run to you
Pride tells me to stay

I hear you make a phone call
You don't even look back to me
Standing by the lamp post under the light
A few minutes later I see a black BMW drives by

You get in
You never wave to me
This is the last I saw of you
In a black BMW

The next day I see
The page in newspaper
A pretty woman died in an accident
The driver of black BMW escaped unhurt

Why don't you stay?
You say you would but you changed
This is the last I saw of you
In a black BMW

the sound of searching souls

The heavy loads
Dragging along the corridor
The sound echoes through
The spirits of the lost souls

There is no word
The wind chimes its way
Searching for a truth
Of why there is no straight line

The cross line of pink
The directions down the pit
Of a time of darkness fall
The sound of searching souls

The bad deeds fall
The long dark shadow on the corridor
Waiting for the opportunity
Where bad people will be caged

As one stands in silence
Holding the moment to listen
The wind will be whirring along
The sound of searching souls


the dark shadow

The dark shadow
Time to show his face
He can't hide in solitary paradise
He knows he has to play his game

The little devils making him sick
They can't even reply to a simple question
“Who stole my cheese?”
For years he walks around

Now the sewers cleaning up
They will not let everything get away
Every bit will be tagged and in plastics
It doesn't matter in years

The dark shadow
On the surface to watch
The little devils will pay
He is coming to collect

On the corridor of power
He finds barriers putting up
With hound dogs on patrol
With CCTV cameras for security

“But I am the dark shadow
I will come and go as I like
Nothing can stop me
If you do wrong, you are in my bag”




the haze still smile


The haze still smile
It doesn't make any difference
Of how many promises and tea breaks
The nation will choke with it

The chronic patients will suffer
There is no way to buffer it
The breathing of oxygen flows along
The clinics will reap in profits

The impurities in the air
It circulates all around us
We don't need the ashes of burning
Painting the sky in misty cry

The open burning
Across the sea
Floating back to us
The haze still smile


don't let pota comes alive



Don't let Pota comes alive
This law isn't for the nation
It isn't used for the terrorists or militants
It will be used against the opposition and critics

It gives police absolute power
Even a judge has no say in this law
Is this what Bee Anne wanted?
To dig in and stay forever?

Anyone who is a suspect
The police just can haul him in
Without trial for long period of time
Even lawyer can't be present

Pota is against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
This piece of law mustn't see the light of day
Amno baru wants to stay on in power
Afraid they will relinquish it all in GE14

Pota in all intent and purposes
It is the ISA breathing into life
The members of Parliament
You have a responsibility to throw it out

Bee Anne members of Parliament
Don't forget the voters rights entrusted in you
You have the moral rights to defend for the people
Don't let Pota come to destroy the fabric of our society!

There are enough laws and Penal Code
To detain anyone involved in terrorism
The police must do their grounds and homework
There shouldn't have short-cut to do policing

you can't hide



You can't hide
Everything you have
By the illegal means
Creating your wealth

On the front you behave
The proper way of your income worth
You don't want to show how you make it
Until one day you resign

You leave it without regrets
You don't have the reasons to
You have enough wealth to last a life time
As you pack your bags and leave the office

You return to the urban town
Forgetting about the life in the city
There you knew you had made
Now in the semi-quiet town you stay

Nobody knows what you did
Only God who knows everything
You make an effort to be God fearing
Living in His ways but the past will linger


there are lonely people


There are lonely people
Everywhere we will hear
Some by default some by choice
But many are shy hiding away from society

The aggressive behaviour
The abusive languages
The eat as much as they can
Living no leftover for others

So we see there are lonely people
Walking on the beach, sitting in the park
Looking at lovers or counting the birds
The laughter of children in the open ground

There are lonely people
Seeing the world of their times
Passing away each day each night
Switch off the lights dreams of paradise

There are lonely people
Everywhere we will hear
They hide themselves away
They dare not touch unfamiliar souls


we have to change ourselves


When a wrong is done
It goes back to the teachers or parents
It goes back to the religious teachers
It goes back to the upbringing or friends

Do we as a God abiding followers eager for pain?
Do we allow a period of rehabilitation to make it right?
Sometimes we hear the religious clerics battle cry
They want to inflict pain and sorrow to keep in power

We see in Taliban group
We read Isis creation of fear
It is to dominate the people
By doing the extreme tortures and killings

The power is one of the roots of evil
Once it rears its head many will suffer in fear
For the demons have taken control
Inflicting pain is the hallmark to gain power

We can't allow these groups to settle in
These leaders will not bring peace and harmony
It is one race track to populate the world
They know they can't do it; God never sanctions it

When a wrong is done
We shouldn't blame others for it
It is ourselves who never stop the flow
We allow it to flourish now we see the trend

We have to change ourselves
We have to change our thinking
We are living in the borderless world
But some want to take us back to the old

don't tell me more lies


Don't tell me more lies
I have enough of it already
For once get off the high horse
Walk the ground feel the beats

Don't tell me more lies
We aren't one race but many
Think like a nation of many races
Do the right way don't play the racial game

We have heard of promises
It never comes to pass
We get hauled up for saying it
We aren't the fools in the scheme

So don't tell me more lies
I know how it is spinning around
We have to change the forty thieves
Open the cave share the wealth


the stairway to paradise


The stairway to paradise
Most of us can only dream
With our stretching resources
We can't think of tomorrow

The rich and elites can
They don't have the burden
How can they not have it?
They have drivers and bodyguards

They have own jet planes
They have connections
They have friends in high places
They see paradise everyday

The folks like us
We are struggling to find ways
Don't even dare to dream to paradise
We will work until the day we die

The stairway to paradise
The rich and elites can fly
The ordinary struggling folks
Finding it hard to stretch finances




hey money tree!


Hey money tree!
What's on your head?
A new hat today?
A new bag as well?

“It's the day
Where monies fall
I am going to collect it
A new bag a new tax

You don't have to show faces
I know you have nothing much to give
The pocket full of holes but I don't care
It's the monies I am going to collect”

Hey money tree!
Where will it all go?
Not new toys to play!
“What you care?”

Hey money tree!
Know what you spend
There is an axe by the corner
It can fly to your head!


the jokes fall on the consumers


Now the forty thieves
The whale of time
The ringing tune
Even sleeping giant awakes

April's Fool Day
It isn't today
It is the collecting monies
The ringing on the till

The sound of monies
The groans of the people
The joke falls on the consumers
This isn't an April's Fool Day

The forty round containers
The precious monies rolling in
The sound of ringing tunes
April's Fool Day it isn't today


the fake police officers


The fake police officers
They came to arrest
An Indian youth was taken away
In Klang yesterday

The parents and relatives called
The Shah Alam police station
There was no truth of any arrest
The next day the Indian youth found dead

In Port Klang his body was found
He was beheaded at night
What was the motive behind his death?
The police will start investigation

The fake police officers
How can the police recognize them?
It has happened quite frequent
Even ID can be forged

Maybe the public can call
The station where the faked officers claim
If it is untrue, what can the public do?
Ask them to wait for the real police officers?
