the white kitten


In the morning drive
Along the road for breakfast
A white kitten on the road
The kitten stands still
On the middle of the road

The young woman driver
She stops her car immediately
I too stop there behind her car
As one Indian motorist gesturing
The woman alights from her vehicle

The Indian motorist points it there
The woman bends and checks her car tyre
The white kitten stays on the wheel
Luckily for the kitten the car stops
The woman pulls out the white kitten
The kitten shows the displeasure showing her claws

The woman quickly releases the white kitten
It is by reflex action nobody wanted to get scratches
The white kitten runs towards safer ground
The woman driver resumes her morning drive
I follow behind her car looking at the other cats
Resting on the side road….

PH leaders must work hard


PH leaders willing to admit
The manifesto will take a while to complete
There are too many spiders web to brush out
The leaders will work on it to achieve the targets

The bad people can’t wait
They will shout to all and sundry
“See they can’t get it done
They say the country has no money”

The bad people will not say
The bad administration brings the nation down
The cases on the past leaders are pending in courts
These past leaders will face the legal music

PH leaders put a stop to the Pied Pipers
Blowing their horns to fool so many
Yet these folks don’t see the wrong
They only see notes of the first Agong

The Cameron Highlands folks don’t see it
They still voted the old regime to stay
They will face their own demons
As the years will unfold for them

Now, PH leaders must work hard
Improve the economy raises the bar
Work on year to year revival
The manifesto will get it done

it never pays to lie


It never pays to lie
One day the lie will return
Holding you to ransom
You can’t even run away

You can talk
You can smile
You can pocket it
You can compare

But lie will make a fall
On a day you think you can achieve it
The lie comes back to haunt you
You have to keep silence

There is no way to escape
You can cover your head with a cap
A lie will return to call its due
You will finally learn the truth

Telling a lie
It will not bring you high
A day it will return to haunt you
You have nothing to say but cry


some like the bad


Some like the bad
They will say they dare to do
Pull the trigger let the bullets fly
They can shout with joy

The women like the bad too
They will say the bad have confidence
They aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade
They will not accept negative answers

Do you know why gentlemen lose in women?
They take too long to come around to help
They will battle within their minds
“Are the women for real?”

The bad people have the magnetic pull
They can attract other crowds to support
Now look at the political corrupts
They have their admirers in tow

Some will say
Life is short enjoy the best
Be brave to kick the norms
Turn the table shout with joy!

But it is for a short spell
The bad will enjoy the benefits
Once the law sits on them
They will regret what they do


the banana people


The banana people*
They will feel at a loss
The local dialects they learned
One day it will be gone

The North through the South
The banana people will be left behind
In the daily conversation once they could sing along
Now they will find the language barrier in their lives

The young ones are schooled in Mandarin
The parents will teach them to speak in it
The local dialects will be ignored
Mandarin will be the language at homes

The parents think of the rising Bamboo Dragon
Spreading its wings in the economy of the world
The flourishing economy in Bamboo Dragon
The attraction to woo the seekers and adventurers

So, the banana people
In the local clan communities
They will feel at a loss
They will listen to the Mandarin words

Here, we can still converse in Bahasa Malaysia
The Mandarin speaking people have to know too
This language will bridge the gap for the local dialects
When the banana people walk the shops and hawker stalls

* people who can't speak Mandarin but local dialects

cameron highlands folks can't change



The green horn won
The seasoned politician lost
In the Cameron Highlands by election
It is Bee Anne stronghold

There is nothing much to say
It is Bee Anne all the way
PH has a tough time to convince the voters
They knew it would not make any difference

Let Ambo baru feel the short joy
It doesn’t say it will win the next GE
This by election is for Bee Anne to lose it
The majority votes could be from Pas

The last GE Pas candidate secured over 3,300 votes
In this by election Bee Anne won by over 3,200 votes
It was the swing votes from Pas followers
It is quite difficult to cure their addiction

PH has to learn and improve
The coalition of Hope still has a lot to change
Whatever Amno baru wants to say
Enjoy the short joy it is still your chair to sit

The hilly billies don’t want to change
They rather face the problems of traffic jams
The over developments on the highlands
And the landslides occurring on heavy down pours

Though many argue on the missed targets
PH has a lot of work to do to fulfil its manifesto
By the end of its term I expect PH to make good progress
This will bring PH back to Putrajaya

Bee Anne and Pas can dream
Be like Mat Jenin climbing up on the tree
Feel like the Superman at any day
Once forget the fall to its knees

the 3 main colours



The 3 main colours
We see it everyday
The world we live in
White, black and yellow

Occasionally, we will see
Albino joins the grouping
We will call it the freak of evolution
A chain to live by

We want to be the Superman
We want the power of control
Every nation needs to bow
The power of the highest flow

So, we will watch
The colours will try to out play each other
Putting obstacles mastering control techniques
Living with the bad feeling and revengeful souls

Through religions each try to seduce
The minds of the people to support
The dream of sole control of the hearts and minds
Of the main colours walking in this world

But it can’t happen
The colours have to supplement each other
To live, to cooperate, to survive, to share
The world we live in not to destroy it

The 3 main colours
Learn to accept differences
You can’t fight alone
You need support to stay in form

cameron highlands by election


Cameron Highlands by election
It makes no difference who will win
It will never change the ruling government
Everything still remains as before

This seat is the strong hold of Bee Anne
Now the opposition party trying to stay relevant
The party leaders who had brought shame to the nation
Now the folks on the hill better decide truthfully

Amno baru and Pas cooperate in the open
The voters should seriously consider this pact
Hadi Awang talks like a Taliban man
But his party can’t manage well in Kelantan

A religious man plays in politics
It will never bring good cheers to the nation
The folks on the hill have seen the true colour
Of Pas intention when it gets to rule

Now Pakatan Harapan rules the nation
Though its manifesto seems heading in strong wind
PH will get it done in due time
It is better to have a ruling government as your interests

Today Cameron Highland folks go to the polls
They have to decide for their own good
The outcome has no bearing in the ruling coalition
It is better to have a government standing behind for support

the puppy barks


The puppy barks
In the morning of sunny day

The day the owner stays
Let the puppy bark away

There is a reason
The owner is lazy

The puppy wants out of the cage
He has to do his business for the day

He barks to let go
Give the owner time to do

But alas the puppy has no luck
He has to do his business in his cage

A little while later
The puppy stays silence

And the owner?
Maybe he is watching his programs

If you can’t spend time with a dog
It is better don’t keep one at home

If you think you do a dog a favour
The dog rather stays free on the road

Staying lock up in a cage
The whole day no freedom

The puppy stays silence
He knows he can’t go free

He has to live in his cage
Accept his fate control his rage

a picture will sing back to him



MO1 not in orange suit
He can claim he isn’t guilty
So, he can climb trees
Singing his praises

He will tell his tales
To the villagers flocking to see him
Taking selfies and shaking his hands
Some even hug him

Because he isn’t guilty as yet
But the charges on his name
He will face the court soon
He can’t escape even with his lies

The ring of rope will be hanging
He will see it every day in his sleep
The ghost of Atlantuya will wait
Waiting for him to tumble on the steps

Next time a new charge arrives
Let MO1 wear the orange suit
This will tell him the truth
A picture will sing back to him


the red dot island


The kiasu Singapore
Govern it with an iron fist
She will not tolerate free flow
She wants to poke her nose
In every corner of her citizens

She schools her subjects
Be the best in everything they do
No second-best rated glow
She will adopt the best around the world

Singaporeans work hard
They learn to play smart too
But the concrete jungle of high- rise buildings
It covers the weaknesses on social and diplomacy

She builds up her reserve funds
She will buy the best for her army, air force and navy
She always lives in fear of her neighbours
Afraid they will sneak in the night

But the kiasu Singapore
She will not tolerate different opinion
She wants her way or the high way
The change will come to this red dot island

death is the easy way out


The man stood
High on the ledge of the bridge
In his best suit for all to see
Before he plunged into the cold water

The drivers on the bridge
Some called the fire brigade
Some called the police
The man wanted to die

Lucky for the man
His death wasn’t his day
He was found by the fishermen
They heard his loud splash to the water

In the fishermen’s boat he laid out
The police came to take custody of the man
He will be charged for attempted suicide
Though he lives but he will face the law

Death is the easy way out
When one faces the problems in life
Look it as a test of faith to tackle the issues
It will be difficult but living is the best

no chance for MO1



MO1 has to go to Bamboo River
He has to serve his time for a long time
He can’t dream to get a royal pardon
Not with PH running the show

The new Sultan of Pahang
He knows what is 1MDB
He can’t simply ignore the scandal
Of MO1 and his ilks involved

Today he is elected as the King
With it he has to carry his dignified duty
There is no reason for him to pardon MO1
He has to listen to the advice of the prime minister

MO1 can’t escape his fate
He knows where he will be going
The cell in Bamboo River ringing
Calling him to hurry to make his bed

diplomacy is a sport


The politics shouldn’t mix with sports
Any politician who forgets shouldn’t be there
Sports should be free of politics
This is the spirit where sports held

The sports people should be welcome
In any country for the competition
There shouldn’t be any interference
By the politicians of any creed and colour

Malaysia shouldn’t play politics in sports
The country willing to play host yet playing politics
By disallowing sports persons from another country
For reasons of politics it smells bad relations

Malaysia should keep her foe closes to her
Now it is the time to open diplomatic relations
With one country Malaysia still ignores
Set up the diplomatic relations it will help her the most

PH government must open up the box
Do not allow the Bee Anne rules to stay
The Old Man and a few others can’t see it
It is time to bridge the gap for good

Saying ‘yes’ has all the good attributes
Malaysia can even find ways to bridge
The Palestine episodes of finding a home
It’s no used shouting but with nothing done!

the teachers still complain


The little napoleons
The ugly heads still running loose
The ring leaders will pretend not to know
On the policies streaming in the working lives

Now look the MOE
Its Minister issues directives
Yet some Headmasters ignore it
The teachers still do the documentations

The teachers complain
The NUTP will compile the issues
Once the compilation is ready
The NUTP will meet MOE

In this instant of defying regulations
The Headmasters must be sacked
There shouldn’t be any leniency
They are qualified and educated

They should know how to read
They should know to hear instructions
Ignoring the Minister directives
These leaders should be removed

Amno baru agenda is over
No politics should be played in schools
The Headmasters who defy orders
Show them the doors

Only then the little napoleons
They can’t play their own rules
They have to follow orders
Like the rest of the people


the bridge of lost souls


The bridge of lost souls
In the watery grave they cry
Though the bodies will be recovered
The souls are buried deep on the sea-bed

The prayers will be offered
Let the lost souls feel at peace
Live like the fishes roaming free
Until their names are called

Don’t blame the barriers on the bridge
The speed devils are to blame
Speeding without a care of their lives
Once the vehicles plunge over the bridge….

It is unlikely the drivers will be saved
The watery grave will claim their souls
Plunging deep on the sea-bed
Once life breathes its last…

In the sea we hear the waves
Hitting cymbals dancing with the wind
Mesmerising the eyes and mind
But the dead will sing the pitiful cry

you can't have it all


You want to live in the city
You must prepare for sacrifice
You can’t have it all in the old
It has to change with developments

The economy has to grow
It can’t grow in your head
You can dream with it
Living in the old

Cars will multiply
People will flock in
Living in the city
The traffic jams and social ills

Of course, one group will cry
Jumping up and down like the monkeys
“Where is my home? Where is my green?”
Living in the city you have to sacrifice

Nature will make way
For the progress of the city
Buildings, roads and alleys
The traffic jams and social ills

You want to live the best
You don’t want to live in a cave
Without the modern amenities
Yet you cry for the old

To make it better
The city has to do replanting
The pathways grow of new trees
Trim it well and not chop it down

The public transport must improve
Let no cars going to the city
Trees chop down must replant
The developers must not run away

cameron folks go for change



The Cameron folks
Time to take the change
They shouldn’t hope for sentiments
It will bring them nowhere

Amno baru has no idea
It always talks on 3R
Over 6 decades it hasn’t changed
The Cameron folks make the switch

You want to progress
You want to jam of traffic go away
PH can help you realize it
If you allow the Rocket to land on the hill

Amno baru, Pas, MCA and MIC
Don’t let these leaders walk in
They have their chances over 6 decades
See what happen to Cameron Highlands?

These parties still play their tricks
They think they can use their magic
One leader brings shame to the nation
He still wants to talk in his tales

So, folks on the hill
Cast your votes for a better deal
Don’t allow sentiments to rule
You will cry in your brain
