2020

Malaysia aspires to be a developed nation in 12 years time, which is not that far away. But do our policies favour achieving that goal of a developed nation? If not, ask ourselves, do we really aspire to be developed?

Developed countries, as most people know it, are countries that have a high level of income. But, does a high per capita income qualify a country to be developed? Countries in Middle East which are high income countries with very high GDP per capita are not considered as developed. To be acknowledged by the world community that a country has achieved a developed status takes more than a high per capita income…

Developed nations have certain characteristics. Firstly, most of them are in the temperate zones. Practically all are democracies, where everyone is equal under the law.. Most have very low corruption levels. Most have a highly educated population and intelligent workforce. Most have efficient police force and independent Judiciary. Almost all have good education systems, producing very sound and thinking individuals. Almost all practice meritocracy which leads to excellence in most fields. Almost all have high level of religious freedom.

Ask ourselves truthfully, do we have any of these characteristics? Do our policies favour the development of these characteristics? We had some of these in the sixties and seventies. Then, our education system was one of the best in Asia. Our students going overseas used to top universities and colleges overseas. Many of them have become famous personalities in the countries they chose to stay back.

But we can in fact achieve all these except perhaps the climate zone. We are in the tropics but climate really does not matter so much with all the air-conditioning and scientific advances. If we have the will, we will succeed but how to achieve this?

Promote people of high integrity into positions capable of making a change. People holding positions like Judges, police officers, enforcement officers, ministers, department heads etc must be of high integrity and must not only be fair and clean but must be seen as fair and clean. For the future of the nation and our posterity, positions must be filled irrespective of race or creed, but must be based on the person's record and merits. Civil service must be open to all races so that there is a much bigger pool of talents to be chosen from.

The government must do away with the unwritten rule that only people of certain race/cables can be the heads of departments or committees or councils… This unwritten rule is archaic and is an impediment to advances in knowledge as well as economy. We need the best to come forward to serve the people. So instead of growing a meager 4 to 5 % a year, with the best people in charge, we could have achieved a growth of 9-10%. With this policy, our people will no more have any barriers based on race and religions, and a truly united country can emerge. Our children and our children's children, irrespective of race or creed, will live better than in the case of continuing the present race based policy.

If we can achieve that, then even if we do not call ourselves a developed nation, the whole world will recognize us as such….

Blast birds to win gold

Live pigeon shooting, pistol duelling and club swinging won’t feature at the Beijing Olympics, but there was a time when they were all medal events. Along with mainstream sports such as cricket, rugby and golf, they have all passed into Olympic history. Live pigeon shooting featured for the first - and only - time at the Paris Olympics in 1900 where around 300 birds were killed. Belgium’s Leon de Lunden was champion for downing 21 birds, one more than runner-up Maurice Faure of France; Australia’s Donald MacIntosh was third with 18 kills. There was also plenty of shooting going on at the Stockholm Games in 1912 when pistol duelling was staged. Instead of traditional, duels of honour at sunrise, this time there was no blood as competitors took aim only at dummies dressed in frock coats with the target placed at the throat.

Club swinging, the forerunner of rhythmic gymnastics, was a medal sport in 1904 at St Louis and in Los Angeles in 1932.America’s George Roth won the gold in 1932 when the Games were held in the midst of the Great Depression. Reports claimed that unemployed Roth was awarded his gold medal and then hitchhiked home.The tug-of-war, so beloved of school sports days, was part of the track and field programme and featured in the Olympics of 1900, 1904, 1908, 1912 and 1920.The 1908 gold was won by a team of British policemen, but it was a controversial victory as the United States protested over their rivals’ footwear. A report at the time said the police team competed “in enormous shoes, so heavy, in fact, it was only with great effort they could lift their feet from the ground”. Also long gone from the schedule is the standing high jump, which last appeared in 1912.Three-time gold medallist Ray Ewry of the United States was also the world record holder. Ewry had spent part of his childhood in a wheelchair paralysed with polio. If those long-disappeared events have no chance of a return to the Olympics programme, the same cannot be said for the likes of cricket, golf and rugby. Cricket was played just once as an Olympic sport in Paris in 1900 and the gold medal was contested by Britain and France after Belgium and Holland pulled out. The British side was a touring team, the Devon and Somerset Wanderers, while the French side was made up of expatriate Britons living in Paris. Britain won the match, staged at the Velodrome de Vincennes, while their opponents were sniffily written-off. “The French temperament is too excitable to enjoy the game and no Frenchman can be persuaded to play more than once,” said a newspaper report. Golf, which was played twice in 1900 and 1904 and was dominated by the Americans, has high hopes of a return to the Olympic programme. Representatives of the PGA and European Tours met recently with IOC president Jacques Rogge over the possible inclusion of golf at the 2016 Olympics. Meanwhile, rugby union was held at the Olympics in 1900, 1908, 1920 and 1924 with the United States claiming gold in the last two editions.

Qaeda wants Saudi king killed over interfaith call

A key al Qaeda figure has said Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah should be killed for calling for an interfaith dialogue that amounted to joining a Western crusade against Islam.

"Hurrying to kill this wanton tyrant (King Abdullah) who has announced himself to be a leader of atheism would be among the most pious acts," Abu Yahya al-Libi said in a video posted on Monday on Islamist websites often used by al Qaeda supporters.

The message followed a groundbreaking Saudi-sponsored interfaith conference in Spain this month in which King Abdullah called on followers of the world's major faiths to turn away from extremism and seek reconciliation.

"The call for a rapprochement of religions issued by the (Saudi) tyrant ... is an integral part of the overt Crusader war against Islam and Muslims," Libi said. He likened King Abdullah to a "corrupting fountainhead" that had to be buried.

"This in fact is a call to turn one's back on Islam and ... to look for commonalities with Judaism and Christianity so whatever the three agree on would become the new modern religion which would be allowed to be propagated," Libi said.

Libi frequently issues messages on behalf of al Qaeda which appears to be grooming him as a top group spokesman since he escaped from a U.S. jail in Afghanistan in 2005.

The Madrid gathering aimed to draw Muslims, Jews and Christians closer together and isolate those who use religion to justify violence or intolerance. It was the first time Saudi Arabia, where non-Muslims cannot practise their faith openly, had invited Jews to such a meeting.

The king also invited Buddhists, Hindus and Sikhs as he showcased a more tolerant side to Saudi Arabia's strict Wahhabi Islam, under fire since 15 Saudis were among the 19 Arabs who carried out the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York.

Words Malaysians can incorporate into their daily lives...

Anwarized" - meaning: To get back-stabbed. . i.e. People who have been anwarized may contact the DPM's hotline

"Badawized" - meaning: To be stupified ...........i. e. Malaysians seem to be badawized by the media which reports biased news

"Najibbed" - meaning: To be blown to bits .....i.e. In this country,you better be careful with what you say, you can be najibbed otherwise

Razak was badawized into covering up for Najib while Najib balaed from the scene. Razak was actually anwarized. However Najib lingamed that he had nothing to do with it and has been kayjaying on the topic in an attempt to prove his innocence. Nevertheless, some quarters have been threatening that they have soileked evidence that Najib was involved.

Club teaching country about football

There is no doubt that, Chelsea is head and shoulder above Malaysia National teams...

What make me angry is that, most if not all Malaysian supported Chelsea instead of our national team.

The Colour blues (Chelsea) outnumber Yellow (Malaysia) Thousand to One! I pity our national players who play their heart out only to be treated as step son in their own home.

Anwar lodges report with FT religious dept against Saiful

KUALA LUMPUR: PKR adviser Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday lodged a report with the Federal Territory religious department against Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan for falsely accusing him of fornication.

This was in response to Saiful's police report, lodged on June 28, alleging Anwar had sodomised him at a condominium in Damansara.

Under Islamic Syariah Law, if Saiful fails to produce four witnesses to the alleged sodomy he can be found guilty and fined RM5,000 or jailed not more than three years, or both.

Life can be difficult to deal with especially with the rocketing fuel price, I don’t mind swearing on the Quran and becoming the next PM whom will get unlimited free fuel.

Four witnesses… when four people see this Youngman being forcefully sodomize and do not take action instead of watching the whole process that is amazement!

When the four witnesses get an erection watching the sodomizing process, that’s excitement!

When the four witnesses join the sodomizing session, that’s teamwork!

Turning Illegal into Legal, Over my dead body!

I do not see how the granting of Permanent Resident status to long-time illegal immigrants in Sabah would be a solution to Sabah problems. I want to see no more of illegal immigrants in Sabah and turning them into Sabahan doesn’t mean there are no more illegal immigrants. Bloody hell, this stupid politician thinks this is a magic show? Turning illegal immigrants into a Sabahans?

The Philippine Government need to set up a consulate in Sabah to send their own rubbish back, I don’t want to see another cent of Malaysia Tax money being use as free holiday tickets to Philippines and Indonesia. Before they know, Najib who is taking charge of this illegal immigrant issue in Sabah might use C4 to blow up all those Illegals rather than sending them back.

C4 is a viable choice since Oil prices has gone up so much. Sending all these illegal immigrants’ ashes back is cheaper than a live insect!

We must put law and order in my beloved land, foreigners must have a valid document if they want to come and work in this country. There are many cases where foreigner commit crime and ran away making Sabah a hazardous place to live in.

The Government's proposed Federal Cabinet Committee on Illegal Immigrants should handle the various categories of illegal immigrants and refugees separately. The problem must be dealt with rationally and not emotionally lest certain important details be overlooked.

While I concur with their stand generally, we must also understand that the illegal immigrant problem in Sabah is a complex issue now. We are not talking about PTI (illegal immigrant) per se but so many categories of illegal immigrants including those who are in possession of Malaysian ICs or MyKads through Project IC as well as through other illegal means.

there were at least three categories of illegals - those who came without proper documents (PTI1); those who came legally but overstayed (PTI 2); PTI1 and PTI 2 who were legalised through the Project IC through the back door (PTI 3); children of PTI 1, 2 and 3 (PTI 4) in addition to the so-called refugees.

sources had put the total number of non-locals in Sabah now at between 1.5 and 2 million and that some people put the estimate as 1.7 million i.e. 600,000 under Project IC working legally and about 500,000 without proper documents.

These are mostly Filipinos. What about Indonesians and other nationals including those from Pakistan and Myanmar?

So, when Najib speaks about flushing out illegals, which category is being targeted by the Government? Similarly when we talk about giving PR status to foreigners, which category of foreigners do we mean?

Equal priority should be given to flushing out PTI (1, 2 and 3) under the proposed exercise and deal with PTI 4 and refugees plus dependents separately.

Once the flushing out exercise has been completed, we can reconsider any application for PR or work passes of PTI 1, PTI 2 and PTI 3 on a case to case basis.

The idea was to flush out illegals and then regulate with enforcement and regulation of foreign labour to be carried out as an ongoing, regular routine exercise.

To succeed in the long term, managing of foreign labour and immigration, cooperation of all parties, including the Government where the immigrants come from is necessary.

The illegal immigrant problem and those related to it are the failure of the Government in managing our borders and enforcing the laws of the country.

How did Ezam survive the Sodomising?

Sodom, sodomize, sodomizing, sodomized and Sodom-maniacs are the Malaysian words of the moment, I have never sodomized nor being sodomized before and I don’t understand how a man can get an erection looking at another man asshole.

There are lot of ‘stories’ currently hot in Malaysia but the hottest one should be DSAI being sue for sodomizing a close allies for the second time in ten years. According to UMNO-politics and UMNO-media; DSAI must be a Sodom-maniac, he will not hesitate to screw any asshole regardless of time or location.

If all accusations are true then most if not all of DSAI close friends and allies are always being screwed by DSAI regularly. Azizan got sodomized, Sukma got sodomized, Munawar Sharif got sodomized and the latest is Sahrul Bahari who just worked with DSAI for three months also got sodomized. There are only those mention in the media, what about those who dared not to come out in the public?

DSAI must be a serial sodomizer or better known as gay rapist!

But what about Ezam, he got an asshole as well? He has been working as DSAI personal secretary since DSAI was in UMNO and sure he knows about DSAI asshole-fucking activity. But why Ezam never got sodomized? He worked very closely with DSAI and DSAI should have the most chances to sodomize him. How come he never got sodomized?

If DSAI is a Sodom-maniac, Ezam should be the first one being sodomized.

So did DSAI liwat the Duta Besar of Turki during his 24hours stay in Turki Embassy? The only reason that I dont believe DSAI staged this sodomized cases is because of the quick action of the police. Police only listen to UMNO, so if no 'order from above' it will take them weeks or even months before starting investigation into a sodomize case.

By the way I just found out that the RAZAKs like asshole as well...

"25.2 Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak informed Abdul Razak Baginda that he had a sexual relationship with Aminah and that she was susceptible to anal intercourse." From Abdul Razak Private Eyes statement!

Politician are not assholes, They like asshole!

Our Education System

Education Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussein's son is doing O levels and will be going off to the United Kingdom this coming September to further his studies. Our Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's daughter, Nooryana Najwa has been accepted into Georgetown University in Washington DC to read politics and international relations after doing her IB (International Baccalaureate).

Wow, Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein and Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's children are academically smart. Congratulations on your success. However, it seems like both of them did not sit for SPM. Before doing her IB, Nooryana had her education in Garden International School. Najib's son, Norashman Razak had his education there too Source http://dapmalaysia.org/all-archive/English/2004/jan04/lks/lks2843.htm.

But Garden International School bases its curriculum on the National Curriculum of England. It teaches the English National Curriculum through Key Stages 1 to 4 and Cambridge 'A' Level.

Datuk Seri Najib and Datuk Seri Hishamuddin are cousins. Their fathers were our former Education Ministers. Datuk Seri Najib's father, Tun Abdul Razak, the second Prime Minister of Malaysia, was the education minister in 1955. Datuk Seri Hishamuddin's father, Tun Hussein Onn, our third Prime Minister, was the education minister in 1969. Fast forward, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak became our Education Minister in 1995-1999. Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein is our current Education Minister. Well, there goes the saying, 'like father, like son' Hishamuddin's son and Najib's kids did not follow the Malaysian Education System (so I doubt they sat for UPSR, PMR or SPM) though they come from an ancestry of Education Ministers. Both of their grandfathers were former education ministers, one's father was the education minister and is now the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia while the other's father is the current education minister.

So why weren't Datuk Seri Najib and Datuk Seri Hishamuddin's children following the Malaysian Education System??

Were our DPM and current Education Minister trying to be kind to not let the government subsidize their kids' education by sending their offsprings to a private school instead of national schools??

Or is it that both Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein do not have confidence in the Malaysian Education System because it is too crap that they had to sent their kids to a private school which follows the English National Curriculum so that their offsprings would not be screwed up by the already-screwed-up education system in Malaysia?

Which is which?? I do not know but I am apt to think that the latter prevails.

*SIGH* So much for being a kind and compassionate minister. If the Malaysian Education System is not good enough, then do something to improve it. After all, that is under your portfolio.

But if the education system is not crap and of quality and standard like what you and your counterparts have mentioned countless times

('Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi tidak bercadang untuk mengadakan peperiksaan yang sama untuk kemasukan ke universiti kerana sistem meritokrasi dan kepelbagaian kemasukan ke universiti yang diamalkan oleh Kementerian Penggajian Tinggi sekarang mampu menghasilkan graduan yang berkualiti. Ini kerana program STPM dan Matrikulasi mempunyai kandungan khusus dan hasil pembelajaran (learning outcomes) yang setara iaitu untuk menyediakan pelajar bagi memperoleh pengetahuan asas yang cukup sebelum memasuki program pengajian Ijazah Pertama' -taken from the Minister of Higher Education of Malaysia's written reply http://lokesiewfook.blogspot.com/2008/05/meritocracy-ala-malaysia-comparing.html to YB Loke Siew Fook of Rasah's Question 24 for the first 13th parliament sitting), then why didn't your kids go through it?? Why didn't your kids go through SPM, then Matriculations or STPM before gaining admission to Uni. After all, matrics and STPM have the potential to produce quality graduates, right??

How does the current government expect us to have faith in our Malaysian Education System when the DPM and current education minister did not even put their kids through it??

Nevertheless, like the owner of szejia.com http://szejia.com/ , I'm PROUD to say that I went through the crappy(???) Malaysian Education System from Primary 1 until Form 6 and I sat for UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM.

I was the guinea pig batch for the teaching of Science and Math in English for Lower 6. Like all Form 5 students today, I memorized the 36 'nilai moral' and their definitions VERBATIM to get through my SPM Moral paper with an A2 (that was 6 years ago and until today, things haven't change from what I can see). And no, memorizing those nilais did not in any way make me a more virtuous person. All it did is make me hate the syllabus and subject more and negate all feelings of doing good deeds.

Should I want my kids to be a victim of this screwed-up education system in future?? I don't know... Maybe yes. Maybe no... After all, my friends and I didn't turn out that bad after going through the crappy education system. And in time to come, I'm sure we will all be successful people in our respective careers.

Najib follow Badawi footsteps...

DPM admits meeting sodomy complainant

Yesterday, Najib say he never met Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Today he admitted that he did in fact meet that fellow in his house, what a 360 degree turn.

Aiy0… seems like Badawi virus has infected Najib as well.

Badawi says no marry, tomolo marry…

Badawi says no election, tomolo cabinet dissolved…

Badawi says no petrol hike, tomolo hike…

Our country Number One and Two also Liar Liar…

Who do we Malaysian left to trust?

Najib said he met Saiful in Najib’s house few days before Saiful lodged a police report against Anwar Ibrahim for alleged sodomy but denied he advised Saiful to lodge the police report.

And according to trend…

Tomolo Najib will admit teaching Saiful how to lodge the report…

By the way, can any normal citizen enter a Deputy Prime Minister House?

Najib also admit that Saiful went to his office THREE months ago to seek for scholarship.

If Saiful who got a CGPA of 0.8 can get a scholarship than all others applicants must be Teranjat Akal. By the way, since when Deputy Prime Minister give scholarship?

THREE months ago, it’s around that time Saiful join PKR!!!

"There are two elements. He (Saiful) came to the office to seek help for scholarship and he only met with my special officer.

"He (also) came to my house because he needed help because he was so traumatised, so that was it.

"I am saying it because there has never been a conspiracy, you can't link the two things together. He just came for help, that's all and he never met me when he came to my office," said the deputy premier.

And so according to Badawi trend, tomolo Najib will said Saiful indeed did come to see Najib three months ago about Sodomize case!

Fantastic Four

Just got a SMS from a reliable source, a few MPs are going to jump ship and one of them is Menteri Belia Dan Sukan, Ismail Sabri Yaakob. Three others including one from UMNO will follow suit and to scare these ‘fantastic four’ UMNO will use police force to arrest DSAI soon.

Watch what you write

Blogging could become a matter of life or death for Iran’s web fans. The country’s parliament is considering a bill that could see the death penalty used for those deemed to be promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy on the internet. MPs yesterday voted to discuss as a priority the draft bill, which seeks to “toughen punishment for harming mental security in society,” the ISNA news agency said.

The text lists a wide range of crimes such as rape and armed robbery for which the death penalty is already applicable. The crime of apostasy (the act of leaving a religion, in this case Islam) is also already punishable by death. However, the draft bill also includes “establishing weblogs and sites promoting corruption, prostitution and apostasy”, which is a new addition to crimes punishable by death. Those convicted of these crimes “should be punished as ‘mohareb’ (enemy of God) and ‘corrupt on the earth’,” the text says.

Under Iranian law the standard punishments for these two crimes are “hanging, amputation of the right hand and then the left foot as well as exile.”

The bill - which is yet to be debated by lawmakers - also stipulates that the punishment handed out in these cases “cannot be commuted, suspended or changed”.

The internet is widely used in Iran despite restrictions on access and the blocking of thousands of web sites with a sexual content or those deemed as insulting religious sanctities and promoting political dissent. Blogging is also very popular among cyber-savvy young Iranians, some openly discussing their private lives or criticising the strict political system, in particular recent moral clampdowns which have seen police round up those considered to be dressing indecently, or even those with ‘western’ hairstyles.

Human rights groups have accused Iran of making excessive use of the death penalty but Tehran insists it is an effective deterrent that is carried out only after an exhaustive judicial process. The number of executions soared last year to 317 amid a campaign which the authorities said was aimed at improving security in society, and was sharply up on 2006 figures when Amnesty International recorded 177 executions.

All legislation in Iran has to be rubber-stamped by a conservative clerical watchdog before it is written into law. The Guardians Council vets bills to see if they are in line with the constitution and Islamic law.

Gone to the dogs

New York hotelier and famous real estate magnate Leona Helmsley not only left millions to her beloved dog, Trouble, but left billions for the care of dogs in general. Helmsley left instructions that an entire charitable trust valued at $5 billion to $8 billion and amounting to virtually all of her estate, be used for the care and welfare of dogs, according to two people who had seen the document and described it on condition of anonymity.

The two people who had seen the document said Helmsley signed it in 2003 to establish goals for the trust that would disburse assets after her death. The first goal was to help impoverished people and the second to provide for the care and welfare of dogs, the newspaper said. But a year later, she deleted the first goal.

But all the money may not go to the dogs. The mission statement also has a provision that Helmsley’s trustees may use their discretion in distributing the funds, and some lawyers say the statement may not mean much, given that it was not incorporated into her will or the trust documents.

Helmsley, who was known as “the Queen of Mean” because of the way she dealt with her employees, had a soft spot for her dog. But a New York court last month lowered the dog’s inheritance to $2 million from $12 million on grounds that Helmsley was mentally unfit when she made her will. A spokesman for the executors of Helmsley’s estate said they did not want to comment on the statement because they were still working to determine the trust’s direction.

Helmsley died in August last year at the of age 87. She amassed a fortune in real estate and hotels with her husband, Harry Helmsley, who died in 1997. Famously quoted as having said “only the little people pay taxes”, Helmsley spent 18 months in federal prison for evading $1.7 million in taxes in 1989.

When Dr. Mahathir was Prime Minister of Malaysia

One lousy day in the middle of the economic crisis,

PM Mahathir was feeling extremely frustrated and wondering how a neighbouring country can be doing better than Malaysia.

One of his aides said, I heard that the leaders consult Feng Shui masters to ensure prosperity for the country. Dr Mahathir thought if that was the case, Malaysia Bomoh also can, and went to seek the top bomoh's advice in the country.

After reviewing the case, the bomoh told Dr M that there were 2 things that he must do:

Bomoh : Step 1. You must blame the crisis on SOROS for everything...
Dr M: But Why?

Bomoh: Because SOROS stands for 'Speculate On Ringgit Or Stocks'. You must blame him, and look at ways to control the ringgit and stock market.

Bomoh : Step 2 - You must get rid of ANWAR.
Dr M: What! Why him?

Bomoh: Because ANWAR stands for 'A Nation Without Any Ringgit'.
Dr M: But how? This is most difficult to do; he is popular with the people.

Bomoh : Aiyoh, you bodoh lah! Look at your name, MAHATHIR.
Make Anwar Homosexual And Then Highlight It Repeatedly.

The person who wrote this is a genius!

YAB Bung Mokhtar Radin ignorance is overwhelming

Bung is the biggest Clown in Parliament today and of course the other guy code named "close one eye" has been sacked. This is the type of people BN wants ‘Stupid and yes man’, each time Sabah takes one step forward moron like Bung takes two steps backwards.

Bung doesn’t know anything about the Constitution, the meaning of democracy and federalism. He doesn’t need to know as BN would like Sabah Chief Minister to behave like as their Yes-Man. I won’t be surprise if Bung becomes the next Chief Minister of Sabah as BN likes him.

For 50 years the UMNO-led cabinet has been sodomizing the constitution, the country and the royalty.

Bung doesn’t know what he is talking about and he definitely have to revert back to kindergarten to have study moral values again. Even an uneducated person can talk more intelligently than this guy.

How on earth he is an MP is beyond my comprehension. I suppose it takes many little morons to vote for this big moron. How to enlighten a moron?

Nothing personal, over the years Bung has been seen critical to the People, even those that elected him. Coming from Kinabatangan, he brings shame not only to Sabahan but to all the Orang Utans!

Who voted guys like him into office? They are the ones (the voters) who will need the education.

This is democratic country and Rakyat have the power and right to choose. Best of luck Mr Bung!

YAB Hamidah Osman The Snake Charmer

One fine Friday afternoon, Miss Hamidah Osman stood up and asked the Perak State Assembly speaker whether he choose to agree to disagree with a supposedly well known fable of whether a snake or a man from a certain racial community should be killed first. I would presume she was trying to impress all and sundry with her self perceived wit. This question had no relevance in a sitting of a state assembly and is instead a disgusting tribute to her level of intelligence, her lack of propriety, her loathsome uncouthness and obviously her inherent prejudice.

The question remains, are these reflective of the qualities and beliefs of the Barisan National? The Barisan has a simple choice here, take action against such acts to drive a clear message that such reprehensible conduct is not just unacceptable but is not indicative of the beliefs of the Barisan. Or take no action and lose any credibility that they are indeed a National front, a collective sum of the diverse and plural peoples that make up Malaysia.

One can decipher the level of intelligence this lady possesses, yet claims to represent the rakyat. The future looks bleak for Malaysians. What a sorry state and we have only us to blame for bringing these types of swine to power again and again.

We should remove such inconsiderate leaders!

“The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbours as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.” - Eric Hoffer

Her act reflected her up bringing and image of her family. She should know it; this is considered a total failure to her family.

Don't waste any more of your valuable time on her. Such scum of the gutter will be flushed out together with all the shit and urine eventually.

Good to note that her actions have been viewed with such disgust and vitriol. The crime would have been made worse if everyone just quietly acquiesced and allowed it as a fact of life here in Malaysia, which we did for nigh on two and half decades!!

Our racist polarising caricature of a democracy has given rise to this. Where there is a self perceived notion of supremacy among certain quarters and by that same token, that the rest of us are less of Malaysians....

I HAVE NO PROBLEM HAVING A GAY RUNNING A COUNTRY BUT...

Project IC screwed up our lovely state

I am worried about the large numbers of Muslim Filipinos who have settled here, tipping the ethnic balance against indigenous tribes who were formerly in the majority.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that UMNO’s intention to give these illegal muslim immigrants citizenship in Sabah is to spread Islam dominance in the continent and to increase the voting support for UMNO. Muslim and UMNO are always synonymous.

Once we lose our political power....all is gone....

Sabah had been screwed by BN and it's hard to believe only now SAPP is coming out to right what's wrong. This opportunity is probably once in a lifetime and may not repeat again.

To all Sabah MPs, for once do what's right for the sake of your own state.

I find all this so frustrating. Time and time again it has been said that Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu are some of the riches States in Malaysia in terms of their resources and the revenues they bring to the Country. Also repeated was the fact that they are some of the poorest, least developed and most politically marginalised States in Malaysia.

BN treats all of us like whores; they take what they want from us and give scraps and no respect. We could see all the wrongs they were doing to Malaysia. How arrogant they have become that they alleviate themselves above all the people, believing they could do anything they wanted. What they did and are doing now is wrong and often sickening.

On the other hand BN gives all to Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Penang. They give them all the development and spend our money here.

Didn't you pay attention? BN favourite states threw them out.

Why the hell are Sabahan still saying yes?

We must insist that all those involved in Project IC be charged with treason, nothing less as this projects threatens the very existence of Sabah herself.

I hate myself for saying this "Sabahans deserve their lot".

SAPP knew about the issues long ago, PBS too, and so too every single politician of Sabah. Nobody did anything but just went along with the situation as long as BN was putting titbits into their pockets to shut their mouths. Every time the titbits get low, some politician will make whimpering noises, and BN will feed that hungry mouth again to shut it up.

Yet SAPP found it timely to act now. At least SAPP has acted. But what about people like DOMPOK? What about people like Anifah, Aman Musa? They are still feeding off the hands of BN.

How did these people get into the Parliament and State Assembly? Sabah people voted them in - election after election.

And has the Sabah people come out openly to support SAPP even at this point?

NO! NO! NO!

But just a few whimpers here and there. Do not the Sabah people know about project IC all these years?

Yes, we do and every single Sabahan except those who live in the utmost interior who don't care nuts about what is happening anyway.

In that light, Sabahans deserve their lot.

Hey Sabahans, are you coming out to stand up for yourselves?

Sabah is also threatened by west malaysian melayus coming over as the head of government departments and side lining the locals. These melayus then try to do everything the melayu way and screw up the system big time.

Time to take a stand;
1. No citizenship to outsiders
2. No west malaysian to head government departments
3. No special status to "converts of islam"

It is all the same cancer - lets cut it out and throw it back to where it came from.

Selangor, Perak, KL, Kelantan , Penang and Kedah people have rejected the current administration due to its mediocrity and rampant corruption. It is time Sabahan wake up and show your stands. Malaysia should be a prosperous nation due to its rich natural resources but unfortunately we are being ruled by a party not only incompetent but corrupted. All development did not benefit the rakyat but only beneficial to a selected group who are close to the people who walk in the corridor of power.

If this country was ruled by competent government with integrity, there is no need to fight for the limited resources generated. Quota, special right and what have you could be thrown away since opportunity is aplenty for everybody regardless of color and creed.

Good Bye Pipi

I sold my pigeon for RM1688, the most expensive bird of its kind in Sandakan?

The person who bought it fell in love with it and offered this high price to own it.
