the little war lords

The little war lords rule the country. My letter to the council about a road with two names delivered personally received no response for over a year. Likewise what with Zakaria dubbed the King of Pandamaran disobeying laws of the state. From a low position to rise to be state assembly man he has forgotten his humble beginnings. It is always said that power always corrupt no matter where one is. So it is true for Zakaria. I met him when he was following Anwar Ibrahim decades ago. At that time he was friendly and jovial man because he hadnt tasted power yet. After that time I read about him. He had achieved his status but he had forgotten his roots. Allah always finds ways to punish his subjects in mysterious ways.....Now he feels the heat is cornering him and so with his family. The only honest way for him to do is forget about his position, resign and let go of his politics. To me he is finished because he wills it to himself. So he has to pay for his sins many times over. Zakaria letakkan jawatan untuk kebaikkan diri sendiri

Now the UMNO has to deal with this public outcry regarding its own leaders. I hope UMNO prsident will not practice double standards. When China Press editors wrongly excuse a person in the video tape, the editors had to resign as ordered by the PM. To me the PM has lost its credibility long time ago. He hasnt answered in full his son's businesses and son in law playing behind the scene in his administration. I only wish the people who were ask to make way or ask to do something should come forward. Don't be a lap dog.....And his involvement in oil for food scheme before he becomes the PM. Now I read his son has 180 ships.....this is only one business what about others not mentioned at all? Dont hide it that 180,000 went for your open house...as far as I knew Malaysians love to go for free food, that you are loved by the people....think about it we have over 26 million people....Now Kedah UMNO youth want Dr M to be punished for his criticisms. To me these leaders are bankrupt of leadership skills. Dr M is their former president and founder of the present UMNO and former Prime Minister. Because now Dr M has no power these young leaders become arrogant and forget their manners towards its own founder...

people dont fall for government tricks

The NEP should stop when it is achieved at 30%. This is the promise compromised after 1969 incident by Tun Abdul Razak. It should have stopped long ago because every 30% given should not be sold; and when it is sold, the Malays (those in the elite groups or cronies) shouldnt shout and claim it has not achieved it. It is the easy way for these people. Gains alot and ask for more yet the government of the day still says it has not achieved it. It is a lie to me. The government should published its statistics of all the 30% stakes given and how many sold it later for profits and then ask or say it has not achieved the target. A Malay minister has rant and raves in TV3 saying arrogantly whether it is achieved at 30% or 45% or 60% the NEP must continue but the lame excuse that the Malays wealth has not increased (it reads the cronies and family members or companies linked to them) So it defeats the purpose of the coalition partners. By now the coalition partners in BN should wake up and realize what UMNO is cooking in its sleeves. If they are the gentlemen, they should protest loudly and make it a point that NEP should be abolished when the target is achieved. Sad to me till today the government has not come out its version of how the EPU got its calculation of 18.9% equity stake for the Malays. The elegant silence of the PM is showing his weakness and lost of his administration. A good leader must respond wisely and not running here and there showing how busy he is when at home he needs to explain what is going on with his administration. UMNO youth has become arrogant and pushing the patience of the people. When Dr M was the PM and UMNO president these leaders were afraid to say. They hide so much that people wonder where had the leaders gone....Now they have wings to fly and they begin to attack their former president and PM. I feel Dr M has his own weaknesses during his administration but I have to agree he is sharp and solid to his point. Of course he had to do many his ways because he has the vision of where he wanted the country to go. NOw we have AAB giving his free market techniques where every minister can say here and there and nobody should question each other. This isnt democracy. This is greed to the fullest. Will AAB see it? He will go visiting countries.......

Poor services

Today went to a restaurant to order food. The waitress took the orders and disappeared. Later she came out to serve drinks. She went to attend other customers. Find with me. Then later customers got their food and I had to wait.....for a long time. I was beginning to feel annoyed. She was busy cleaning plates and cleaning tables. Nothing was said of my food orders. I went to look and found the cooks relax no more cooking and I asked where are my food...The waitress told the cook she gave the orders.....but nothing came out of it. I told them to forget it and walked out. I popped into the hawkers' stalls thinking I could get it easy. But I was wrong. When I ordered my kueh teow soup and showed him where I would be sitting.....My order didnt arrive. I saw the guy took a chair talking to his group of friends....One day twice happening to my orders....this was too much!!!!!!!!! I ordered chee cheong fun for my dinner....Am I invincible suddenly???? Hey...you are wearing yellow T-shirt.....people see so many yellow colors for the 9th God festival....no wonder people ignored you...........

The Tourism Minister goes to promote the country....and we have over zealous religious officials knocking at an American couple for khalwat....in Langkawi.What were the officials doing? Don't they know they are Americans on holidays? MB wanted report. He should suspend the raiding officials. I dont think he will do it. Report and report then it slowly dies off. This outrage has bombed the image of the country. The government shouldnt spend money to promote tourism. What for? Use the money to help the poor people in our own backyard.

Dr M continued his upbeat criticisms of AAB. The current PM should know his former boss ways of conducting affairs. He should come out with his facts and figures. He shouldnt keep quiet and prolong the criticisms. Now he has the power he forgets where he was before. I for one will not vote for BN. No Cabinet minister says something different. Look at AAB, as if he is a saint (Dr M pointed it out) Of course the main newspapers will sing glory of AAB. Nak cari makan...

Case in point...Zakaria dared to defy the Sultan of Selangor. He claimed he was sick but was holidaying in Malacca. His mansion should pull down without following proper documentations. The poor satay man had his stall taken down immediately so what will happen to Zakaria's mansion? He will be fine. But his mansion stays. When I look at the scene, the authorities never take swift action on the political heavy weight of the ruling party....What AAB is doing? He passes the buck to MB to handle it..

rape, kidnap, i dont know

Rape, kidnap or what....In Ipoh a Tar college student gone missing. MCA joined the crowd by offering $10,000/- for the location of the college student. Callers said she was in Cameron Highlands or Air Hitam in Penang. In Kampar a form 2 student was lured away by a woman. Now her parents tried to get her home but failed. Again in Kampar a restaurant owner raped his Indonesian maid. He is out on bail.What has gone wrong?

Lust and money. Poor parental guidance. Glamour and night life. Think of pretty girls or women. Men eyes roam, heart of gold, mind of evil, hands of initiation, holes of death.....Normally I think it is towards improving a life style. Many want short cut to richness. They forget it can't happen unless they sell their souls. Pity many go for the easy way out....Now the misery and headache...sometimes death occur or for the women night of flesh trade controlled by a syndicate....their only hope the customers turn good samaritans...

And Dr M continues to blast the AAB administration. As usual the blind support of the Cabinet and UMNO party leaders. I haven't seen the party leaders say something negative to concur with the former PM. It makes Dr M said that AAB is a SAINT! Nobody can invite Dr M to functions or meetings. The silent treatment initiated by the UMNO leaders. The lay people like me dont see it happening. I can move around here and there, enjoying my freedom, have a cup of ice milo or horlicks and let the world pass me by...but if you are in Dr M or Anwar position, then you can realize the subtle intimidation by the ruling elite. AAB has lost ground though he thinks he controls his party. If he truly believes that, he should call a snap election to find out...

Malaysia ......makes the light shine brightly

VIPs absent in Dr M open house

VIPs absent in Dr M open house. Leaders dare not meet their former boss who had retired. Maybe because Dr M had criticised the current administration. Even when he met AAB he continued to pile on his criticisms. Basically, AAB should say something what he needs to do. I dont subscribe to silence is golden thing. It never helps in any situation. AAB should make up his mind of what to do with his administration. He shouldnt listen to advisors or those UMNO leaders who just want to curry favors. Dr M is passionate about his country and UMNO ( he founded the New UMNO) so he would continue to hit arrows at AAB. Because he wants AAB to do something good for the country and party. Mind you AAB is going to lose votes if he calls election now.....I know Dr M has his faults during his term in office. But I should give him credit for making waves in the world. People now really know Malaysia....Puteru UMNO should stay out of their advice. They shouldnt tell Dr M to stop criticising the administration. They should study why Dr M did it and what AAB is doing or conducting his affairs for the country. They are just girls' they arent women yet.....unles when the join Wanita UMNO then perhaps they may have the right to say something. About 180,000 people went to AAB open house. Numbers dont count support. Malaysian culture is free food everybody wanted to go.....Once I went for the MB open house but I reached there nothing was left....From then on I dont want to go to open houses of political leaders...

What now PM?

Is Dr M satisfied with his meeting with AAB? He got his messages to the Prime Minister. But his former deputy could only write down notes. I believe he didnt get want he want because AAB needed time to ponder on it. The situation is difficult for AAB to comment much. It is like a student facing his teacher again though the student could be a Phd holder now. A man on his own order yet he will still feel humble in his teacher company. Maybe like a gangster talking big and loud yet he feels like a pussy cat when his arresting officer visits him or when he sees the police officer he quickly makes his disappearance. My brother in law told me once about those gangsters he arrested in put in jail. These people still scared of him when they saw him around...Likewise I think AAB felt uncomfortable in his former presence listening to him telling him what's wrong with his administration....He has to wake up quickly. AAB can't let the ship sails aimlessly.......a cool guy must know where to make some noises and fast. He must own himself up and read what's happening in the country and what people talk and the reaction of business community. FDI comes in slow which will hurt the economy. I hope he thinks about it during the raya breaks and perhaps change his cabinet and ask his son in law to step down from his position which will salvage part of his credits...Pssst you think he will do it? Politics is like the wind.

selamat hari raya aidilfitri

Selamt Hari Raya Aidilfitri

Forgive my nonsense

Smile at my slips up

In this season it's time to be merry

Show your graciousness

Show your forgiveness

Sometimes it is hard to let go

Yet it has to be done

It makes life easy in the run

town councillors 2

Now the Sultan of Selangor wants to know about the mansions without approval. Sultan of Selangor knows what he wants....Now I hope there is something good to come out from Sultan Of Selangor. I dont know when this charade of the state government will end. Every time something comes out involving an UMNO leader, the leaders try quickly to cover it up. I think UMNO has grown too big....it has become clumsy and fat too. It means its span of control has missed its target. Management gurus say it has to break it up into smaller grids for easy control and monitoring - appoint trusty and honest people to manage it - one who fears God/Allah in all the times and manage it according to God/Allah rules which I think then it will be fine.

the town councillors

The town councillors build houses without planning approvals. In Selangor two cases were highlighted by the newspapers. Now one claims he isnt the only one who did it. The UMNO disciplinary committee should sit and mete out appropriate punishments for its own members. I think UMNO should study the whole situation in other states too. This disease must be spreading.....The councillors are in the business to help the state managing the local councils but in this case it is used to enrich these two councillors. The Selangor state UMNO should appoint new faces in the local councils. They should get those who can help the people which they are appointed to do. Better still hold local council elections to rope in the qualified people to manage the town councils. Currently it is political appointment which I feel must be stopped. Will the government do it? I doubt very much. When the head rots every tail rots too.


Malaysia..........no political appointment!!!! But will you do it?

greed destroys your mind

Scam down south EXCLUSIVE: While most Malaysians regard Singapore as a land of opportunity, landing a job there has turned into a nightmare for some. Unskilled or semi-skilled workers have fallen victims to unscrupulous recruitment agents who lure them with promises of good pay without giving them a true picture. courtesy The Star

Greed makes the evil fly People still dont understand. Money corrupts the mind. When one promises of many returns, one should have found the weary smile. When money shines in the eyes, oh my! the people run blindly. Only to find themselves working like slaves!! Scam brings no returns. It is only to the evil doer who forgot about trust and compassion. This is the demonic mind. Dont trust advertisement promises you lucractive returns. You do it you sell your soul. Greed spins you like crazy. You dont know what hit you then.

every one wants to live easy

Every one wants to live easy

No hardship no sweat or tearful cry

Wake up in the morning touch the morning sky

Let it shines bright so warm and tenderly light

In real life nothing comes this way

One has to go through it all

Nothing is free nothing will be given

You can dream through the ages

If you dont know your limitations

You can't find your own pot of gold

The rich or the poor

The educated and the illiterate

Know the circle of influence

The limitations you are made

You can't run as fast as you like

Not every one makes out the same

Likewise not every one can be a CEO

Some will have to be followers

Desires in descending orders

Take it as it comes along

The little walk of flame

It makes it good one day

So take a little you can handle

Feel the flow which influence the taste

When you are worth your calling

It comes like fairy angel of fame

the light rules the dark

The light always rules over the dark So it is said many time before. Yet we walk through our lives so blind that we get ourselves entangled into so many forms of troubles. Every one thinks he/she has many appointments - social or business or lecture. This is man made which could be changed. We never want to change it. We want to feel how important it is to our lives. "His/her life is full of engagements" Until there is no time to sit and talk to defuse tensions in any given situation. Every rule man desires it can be amended or deleted. One can't let it holds it like a shackle until one can't shift or move at all. When a situation arises conflicting the whole administration, it is better to take the necessary action quickly. Once it is done, the damage could be easily repaired. Dont wait and wait and playing damage control. It never helps in the long run.

haze and drought the devil smile

Haze here drought in Australia; double edge sword words from the self gratificating politicians-they are right we are wrong and the government brewing gag orders classifying this and that as sensitive, no opening for debate or discuss or try to understand each other better; we are the naughty children never know the truths and the lies, we are the group of ungrateful people...but the haze and drought will come...whose fault is that?

back to basic

Are we going for Ala Taliban? Suddenly I find some fanatics issuing statements contrary to Islamic teachings. I say go back to basic Islam - understand what Islam is all about...is a way to peace I sleep wonderfully with this thought in mind..

asli Vs EPU

SOURCE: Malaysiakini One argues about ownership of shares; the other on the wealth of shares. NEP is creating wealth and ownership in equity shares. As I commented earlier every public company must reserve 30% equity shares for the bumi/bumi held companies on the prescribed regulations so that it is seen the bumiputras/companies held a stake in the ownership/wealth of the country or business. EPU uses par value which I think it is flawed. You can't say a wealth of $1 will not increase in value after 35 years? Public bank shares of $1,000/- after 40 years had increased to $1.2 million!(Reported in The Star of Public Bank 40 years of its founding). I believe the government(reads UMNO) wants to hold the cake and eat it all. By right as most people agreed that the government should be proud that the NEP has been achieved and the leaders should welcome it with open sincerity than the critical exclamations of "rubbish" or "damage done" without offering hard data to proof its statements! And now we have our AAB asking the people not to question the government. I think he should preach what he speaks and do it too and not turn around and tell the people you can't tell me what to do. The voters elected him to office and as such he should listen to the people grievances especially on transparency and accountability and professionalism too. He shouldnt have said to shut off the people's minds or arguments. We are not talking about race; we are talking about the achievement of NEP which the government(reads UMNO) should take cognizance of the fact that it has achieved it. Why the reluctance to accept the good work I wonder?

lines never change

Today I told off two girls who were playing volleyball on the side road near to my house. I was watching them playing it without due consideration of their own safety on the road. I had observed car drivers turned through without seeing the traffic flow. I had seen two accidents though nothing much damages occurred. After awhile when the ball hit the fence wall, I decided to tell the girls to go play at the field nearby in Malay. They went off reluctantly. But I hope they dont repeat it again....One never knows what traffic accident may occur. On another matter AAB asked people dont question the NEP....so what he is trying to say? That the people have no say in the government and what the government dishes out the people have to accept it? The people are the ones who decide who make the government and not the government elected by the people decide what the people must do and not to do. I guess he has lost his own Islam Hadhari...We are not living seperti katak dibawah tempurong. We are competing in the globalized world. AAB should focus on it and not on the communal politics benefitting a race. He should understand his post is to take care of all races in the country. At the rate he is still doing for his own race. He must show he is fair to all people not on race or communal base politics. Will he ever makes up his mind? I dont know.

equity share

The government will release its findings on how to arrive at 18.9% of bumi equity share I am one of those eagerly waiting for it. Because of what the leaders say (UMNO) I dont buy it in toto. So far I dont agree that Petronas should be excluded in the equity share by sweeping statement that it is for all Malaysians yet the government doesnt published its earnings or how the fund goes to helping all Malaysians. My perception is towards one race. Look at the staff employed in the organization. It is filled byone race on any level of the organization. It is nearly 100% of a race. I can't accept the view then. When the government opens a can, it has to open another can and so on. I dont know whether the government(reads UMNO) will go for it. On the ground level every non-bumi will know that the NEP has achieved its target of 30% equity share in the economy. If they dont achieve it as claimed by UMNO, I dont know what UMNO is really doing in 35 years of the NEP. Maybe they are taking care of themselves and their associates. During my kampung days, masuklah politik kau akan jadi kaya sekelip mata saja. Look at our politicians on before and after scenes then draw the conclusion.

Malaysia.....let there be equal and fair view of the playing economic fields

dont sweep under the carpet

AAB said that the Dr M criticisms irrelevant. So I dont know what he meant by "Come walk with me" in his election campaign. Because he had got over 91% of the popular votes that he could say what he wants. At least h,e should remember Dr M was his former boss and he was in his cabinet. He should give much thought to it. I know Dr M has his faults in his premiership but he is outside the government AAB should recognize his contributions of what he wants to say. He can't just brush aside as if nothing is happening. As I said before he is the weak PM for the country. Basically he can't recognize what he wants to do leaving the economy floating by itself- meaning I can't find absolute direction of where the country economy will be heading. Every little napoleon is doing his own thing.....yet he never reprimands those people who incite racial feelings in the country because they are his own party members? He dares not call a snap election because I truly believe his popularity will be cut in half. Too much keeping elegant quiet because I suspect he doesnt know what to say and too much dragging his feet to answer criticisms level at his administration. He is grounded well in Islam yet he doesnt know how to use it to his advantage. He let the a small hole becomes a bigger hole. Sad really.......he just can go visit Dr M....it is not that far from his own PM office. But he didnt. Like Hussein Onn he held it for a term and quit. So I guess he should make the same exit.....let somebody has a crack at it who is decivise, aggressive, tolerant and harmonise the people and economy......

lucifer directing traffic

Traffic police is out in full force on 17 Oct 06. The death toll should reduce compare to last year. By right it should have zero deaths in any festive season. Why can't motorists drive carefully? I doubt it will make much difference with the police in full force manning the traffic flows. The traffic offences will keep piling up. The motorists will challenge the police "Come catch me as you can" Lucifer will make his magic and claim ignorant about deaths. The straight roads become crooked roads. The tiring eyes will see something different. Stop at the markers. Take a rest and recharge then continue. Yet many motorist will try to rush from one point to another without realising the consequences of what will happen. Craaaaaaaaaaash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today the mamak stall guy narrated an incident along Simpang Pulai to Gopeng Road. He saw 3 motorcyclists beat the red traffic light on the intersection and sped away at about 12.30am. When he crossed the traffic light, he saw one of them was pinned under the tourist bus. Apparently he felt the motorcyclists were racing amongst themselves and one of them could have lost control of his bike and went underneath the bus. He was quite seriously injured. The passengers of the bus and drivers came out to help. The ambulance didnt turn up after 45 minutes. A Malay couple tried to help the victim but he couldnt talk because he was in shock (?) Later one of the driver took a motorbike with the victim's ID and sped to the police station maybe like 3km away to file his report. The Malay motorist could be fromTaiping base on his ID or one of the kampongs nearby Kamunting. His two other friends couldnt be seen. I guess they fled the scene. Why in a rush? Remember "slow and steady win the race"

I enjoy my freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom with nothing much to worry.............!!!!

shopping

Drove to Jusco for shopping. Many items on discount. Many goods for sell. But the prices are quite expensive compared to other stores. But one gets free parking and shopping in one roof which I think balance off on the stiff prices. Anyway Jusco is offering discounts for Deepavali and Hari Raya. Bought electric kettle to blend the decor of the new house, ice cream (one of my favourites indulgence), a set of reversible screwdriver and accessories, yoghurt and detergent. On the way back forgot to buy another 2 rattan chairs for the patio. This rattan shop is situated along the main trunk road. Stopped by at the pottery shop purchased some potteries. I will go back there to buy white stones for my imagine rock garden. Also went to look see another new house at Bandar Sri Botani. I peeped inside and looked at the facade. It is 90% completed only now needed some paint touch up otherwise it is done. Now it is only tarring the roads. The field facing this house is in progress. I think it will be a nice playground with grass and trees. Lamp posts erected but no cables yet. Likewise the house too hasnt got electric wire connected and water meter hasnt installed yet though deposit had been paid. This house I dont think I want to do much on it. It is basically a holiday retreat for a day or two.....Well....enjoy life and my freedom hehehe
