23.06.2015 - Learnt nothing except PATIENT

Its not easy to maintain BLOGS. In old days, I can do it daily but now, I wish I have time to watch TV or probably a nap. Life is so different now and I have not being given the choice (you  know who - GOD) to decide if I should take a break or not. I am very tied to my daily routine and my quality of work keeps on deteriorating since the day my 2 little rascal came to this world. Lack of sleep and rest is the main reason behind. I wish life can be reversed; if it does, I will make a wiser decision and choose to walk along thru the rest of my life. Everyone says, I am a lucky person, but none of them knows the trouble and suffers I am going thru day by day. I wish everyday is 'my' day but in reality, it is 'their' day than 'my' day.
Everyday, I think my life if screwed and I don't even want to say a single word on it because if I did, it  makes everyone days the same as mine. I keep smiling and buried it down below and continue to motivate myself to go on with it. I can't imagine how I did it; 2 adult / woman in the house bombarding each other, kids seeking attention, women seeking attention, infants keep crying and need attention, money needed to feed everyone, house keeping need to be done, baby sitting all night long, etc..
I always have this in mind; ladies always think that when men is back home, it is time for the men to look after their kids and do some housework. To women, men should share equality of work and responsibility at home. But when men did, women will sit and enjoy every moment 'me' time they have. But what about men? How could men keeps working day and night while women think men should do everything while they just work 9 to 6pm, open wide to be fucked and wait for men to feed them food and money?
Hey, I have bad days too and I work thru out the night and day just to keep the house peace, cleaned and stuffed with all necessity for everyone. So what women do? I cannot believe it, again I am venting off my frustration to the wall. Well, I think that's the silliest decision I ever made in life.
Nevertheless, I think I've grown up well and learn to be more wiser. Patient was the most important things I've learnt most. But how long can my nerves, heart and pressure can withstand these? I hope so much that I stay as fit forever as I am still the slave after all in my family.

26.12.2013 - Work Hard for nothing! No return!

When we talked about year end, everyone is hoping for good bonus / profit sharing. Some industries / companies offers 13 months salary while some hiding behind the wheels and declaring poor business throughout the year.
My company is a world leading servicing company. When I signed up the letter offer, I was given the verbal assurance that the company usually pay 13months salary per annum. I was here 15 years and for this year the 'usually' paid 13 months is not going to become true. The management told me, when you climb up to certain level, you are abide to the company protocol and target in order to enjoy the benefit given by the company. It says if we didn't achieve the budget of 90% LC, I can forget my bonus and increment. Now, we are only 60% LC and the bonus, I can just forget about it.
I have plenty things in my  mailbox and knowing this is definitely demotivating me to get all things done in timely manner. I am so upset and feels being treated unfairly. Other divisions were smiling throughout the day knowingly that they have achieved their budget and awaiting for their bonuses by end of this month.
To me, I am just an ordinary day filled with dissatisfied feeling. Holding a higher rank with good pay doesn't serve you good at all. You don't get to claim overtime, you don't have the opportunity to meet people and jobs, you cannot say no, you cannot go on field where there are opportunity to earn extra money through expenses and mileage, etc. except enjoying high pay and enjoying the cold environment in the office. To me, I love travelling out there and keeping myself away from my laptop but I was not given the choice to do so.
This morning, I received a call from my superior. In his bad mood, he raised his voice and talk seriously about our bonus. I knew about our bonus since last week but I don't know why he called to repeat the same bad news to me. His main objective is demanding me to explain to my fellow staffs here that there is no bonus at all. Bad news goes to me good news goes to him.
Hate is 1 of the most common feeling human has whenever they faces problem, being ill treated, unfairness treatment, etc. It is hard to take hate away from us especially knowingly that we are not getting something that we entitle for. Question is, how do I define 'entitle'? I think best word to replace it is 'deserved'. If I don't get what I deserved for, how do you expect me not to hate these people?
Can you ever imagine, money that we need for our festival celebration? family expenses? vehicles road tax and insurance? credit card debts? etc.? last year, I enjoy 1 month bonus in which I think it is way more better than nothing at all. But now, how am I going to survive the debts around me and the forth coming expenses?
Well this is MNC company. If you are good, they says 'that is why we hire you for" otherwise "why should I keep you still if you cannot prove your capability"? Ultimately we are just an assets that is liquidities to a company. Whenever they need you, you are a good person, but when they don't need your service, you are just a trash to them.
I kind of agreed to some says "work smart don't work hard". When times is up, it means time to stop working and focusing on other things. I put too much effort and time for work as I am a very responsible person and very productivity. I work around the clock to make sure everything runs smoothly but in return? the management is looking at overall business outcome instead of individual hard work we poured for the company. I guess I am just another idiot workaholic that listen to no one, it is now time to let things go and pay more attention to my own time.

19.12.2013 - LIFE

When we talk about marriage we talk about how a couple get along and shares all the moment, should it be bad or good. There is no perfect marriage in life and some may says we never marry the one we love most but the one we don’t. I stood in the mirror now looking at my own face and smile. Everyone says I looked cheerful person but for those who knew me pretty well, knows that i cried deeply inside. I keep asking myself why would I ventured into this miserable marriage life knowingly it is not suit me at all. I was a happy go lucky person when I was single. I have no financial problem or family problem except worrying so much about  my career and my mother’s health. Every moment i have during that time, is my “ME” time. I can choose what i want to be and what i want to do without having the doubt of my surrounding environment. Now i am fucking tied up with so many things that i, myself don’t even know how to get it resolved.

I am a pessimistic person and i blame GOD all this while for what happened to me, stupidly believed that our life is controlled and planned by Him. But sitting alone in front of TV (with my mind loitering around the problems) i realized GOD has actually helped me to be here, sitting in front of TV enjoying dramas, movies under air condition room. The one that really screw up my life is still me; who has being believing my future on my mom’s hand. I thought being filial will get a good return but now, i really messed up my life. I am not finger pointing but keep wondering what have I done to my own life.

I thought building up a family will probably give me something different and meaningful; unfortunately it is giving me nightmare and never ending house work and problem. My main aim is to have peace in life and family. Whenever i return home, i just want everyone smiling but not showing their ugly damn anger face. In some cases, when I realised there are problem, i confronted either 1 of them but the result is so unexpected; cold war. Each of them will blame on my unfairness and so on. I was taught by my sibling, being ignorant and do what you can do without relying on them is the best solution. It works a little while but yet i am still suffering in terms of physically and mentally. I am so tired with work and house work. I never stop cleaning the house, toilet and of course taking care of their feeling without having the thought of looking after mine. Sound like i am pampering these ladies without considering the consequences. People says, it is best to consult your closest sibling but to me, it doesn’t work well because we ended up quarrelling. I guess i am an alien in this world and also the only man in the family that bullied by the woman at home.

I am not a demanding person but I just hope everyone in the family works as a team and contribute fairly. Mom was the best team player but my wife is the other way round. Am not sure if she is too young or she is trained by her parents to be like this. She is so dependent, attention seeker, lazy, complaining a lot, expecting more from us than delivering it, lack of initiatives and of course being over sensitive. Before we got married, she has all promises made to convince me to marry her but after marriage; she is like totally not her at all. Mom was great but of course in some cases, she is really a pain in the ass. She started to lie when she did something wrong just to cover herself. She even treated my wife unfairly and rude whenever i am not around; yes my wife told me this and with all the years i am with my mom, i am so sure she really does. Not to be unfair, both ladies in my house are really bitches and pain in the arse. Not counting my sister from Singapore, putting 3 of them together is the worst choice in life. If i did, i always driving back home from work feeling worried and afraid. I am not sure who is going to lodge the complaint first but i know there must be an issue going on. Never ending stories.

Not sure if being silence and do what i can consider solving the problem? In the other hand i am so tired and getting bored over this life.

30.10.2013 - Sad Mr. Roti Canai / Raja Uda Roti Canai

I was away from office today on field work and while I am on the way back, I stop over at 1 of the stall that I usually enjoy my Roti Canai. I have being eating his Roti Canai since primary school. We are from a poor family and the only thing we afford to eat during breakfast is bread and roti Canai but of course Roti Canai from this uncle is consider special meal to us; usually once in the blue moon. So when I grow up to teenage years and then started to work, I will cycle out from my house to buy 2 pieces for my breakfast. He is the same old guy that sells Roti Canai day time and night time, same place just a few steps away. He is fluent in local Chinese dialect and very friendly person. That makes him people's choice when it comes to Roti Canai. Even until today, I am 36 with kids, yet I still prefer to have his Roti Canai than any other seller.
So when I reached his stalled, I throw him a big smile and asked if there are anything left since he seems to started to clean his stall. He replied to me friendly and says 3 left. So take away 3 please!! He is fast as usual and packed all the Canai and my favourite fish curry that goes along with the bread. Before I leave, I asked him if he recognise me and he smiles. Well, I don't expect him to remember  even though I am there quite often; as you grow older, your remembrance power probably deteriorated drastically. He is now 54 and we cannot expect much from him but of course his recipe, uncountable value. I always look at him and projected that he is a damn nice person who work hard for his family and a good bread winner. I've seen him with his family couple of times going out for dinner and supermarket and he plays a very good role and example of GOOD INDIAN man.
I am not looking bad on Indians, but there are many man that is alcoholic, heavy smoker and beat their wife and children whenever they got drunk. Some even rely on their wife to feed them (breadwinner) and give them money to buy alcohol drinks. Of course there are also other races that have the same problem as Indian just that the rate for Indians are slightly higher than others.
We then started to talked like old friends although our age gab is little far away. I praise him for being a good man and have been seeing him for long long time ago because of his Roti Canai. From my heart I told him, for all these years, his Roti Canai is the best I ever have. I told him, I have seen him many times and praise him for being a good role of Indian. I asked him about his family and to my surprised, he shares with me his problem and heartache. All these while I always think that he is a good man and has good family. Simple, good deed get good return. But why would this happen to him?
This is how it goes. He has 2 children; 1 boy and 1 girl like everyone dream off. He struggle day and night to raise them up since he is not educated. He has to sell Roti Canai using his motorcycle travelling approx. 80 kms away from their house daily, 2 trips to feed his family. He has no other hopes except raising up his children and make sure they have what they deserve similarly like others. He wishes that everyone around him including his children not to have the same life (struggling) like him. His daily routine is sending children to school, ride his bike from Sungai Petani to Raja Uda to sell Roti Canai in the morning session. Return home around noon for lunch and preparing for the evening session. He will send his children to tuition classes and then rushing for evening session by late afternoon. Once he finishes his evening session, by the time he return home, that will be 130am. This is when he cleans his bike, apparatus, preparing for the next day and shower. When everything is over, that is the time he had his Dinner. 230am this is what he told me. He never grumble all these years or ask for return except hoping his children are filial when he grow older. But in return, he gets tears in his eyes and heartache whenever he sit alone.
Daughter is now an adult. She was sent to 1 of the University somewhere Kuala Terengganu. He is so happy that finally her daughter has made her way to better future. No other hopes except better career and live averagely. One day she returns home with her hand holding Quran, which has broken his heart badly. He told me, that she was sent to enriched her knowledge and have better future, but she returns with Quran without seeking for her father's blessing. She insist to convert to Islam although her father disagreed with it. This is more than enough how she hurts him. After she complete her studying, this is when she decided to get married with a man that leads her to Islam. But what really hurts him is, she asked her father not to attend the wedding because he is an Indian Roti Canai man. What a disgrace bitch she is. The heartbroken father insist to participate in the wedding but again being turned down by the daughter. Years has past; she is now with 5 children but never return home to see her only father and mother. He told me that if she decided to change her religion there is nothing much he can do except giving her the blessing and prayers that she did the right choice and have a wonderful family. But why cant she bring back her child to see their grand father? I keep wondering why would his daughter did that. Remember little girl; what goes around comes around. Islam do not teaches you to be disloyal to your parents. Its you that breaches the Islam teaching and being an arsehole in the family. No matter how bad a father is, he is still the one that serve you food and pay you till you finishes your study. Speechless!
Now what about the son? He is another person that hurts him badly. Roti Canai uncle wishes his son would be a good man like him, work hard and become a good breadwinner. He told me, man that drinks, drunk, beat wife, smoke, etc. is not a real man. He was raised not to be like this and he listen to his belated father to be a good man. He don't drink and smoke but work around the clock to help the family and his brother. Everyone now is in good shape but his son; he is a happy go lucky person, drink and spend unnecessarily. HE saves a lot of money (approx. 20k) for his son to further study. One day he brought his son to the bank to check out the bank interest but was told that there is no money in the saving except the amount he intended to save. He was surprised and got panic that how could the money went missing if it is safe kept in the bank. But he didn't realized the biggest mistakes he ever done is to open the saving account together with his son's name. So when he turns his head away asking his son where is the money, the son replied that he took all the money. His father was shocked and asked why it is not being pre-notified about the withdrawal? , the son replied 'the saving has my name means I own the money too'. Father was a little pissed off and asked what he did to the money and the son says proudly that he took the money, spend it with his friend, drink and use it for other purposes. I cannot imagine if I am the father I am so sure he will receive my fist probably more than 10 times. Yet this uncle Roti Canai still in calm situation. He mentioned to me that he bought a car for his son who promised him to pay for the installment. After 6 months, the car was left at somewhere damaged and owe bank installment for months. Again the father has to pull the car back and settle the debts. Now, the son is married but separated with the wife and demanded the father to give him more money. Worst, he is asking his father to transfer the house name to his name. I told him not to tolerate with his son anymore otherwise everyone of them will ended up on the street.
Well, I have nothing much to say except feeling pain and heartache. It is nice to see him running up and down busy preparing Roti Canai with his wonderful smile but deep inside he is another sad person with lots of problem around him. Although life is very tough to him, it is just another day and challenges that God gift. He uses the word "bagaikan kacang lupakan kulit" a local dialect says "it is how the peanut forget the shell". There is nothing much he can do now except keeping himself busy and cry whenever he sits alone at home or while watching TV. Relatives has started to ignore them because of his son and daughter being a disgraced but yet he is still fighting and struggling day and night to keep the family with foods on the table. He prays everyday that his children grow wiser and prevent them from having the same sadness and heartache in future. But who cares for his love and hard work for all these years.
I am just another customer to this man but deep inside me, I feel the pain he gone through. But why cant any of his child feel the same? aren't they human too? aren't they parents too? why cant they think wiser as an adult and cherish what they have before he closes his eyes and breathless? I don't know his name but I am sure my heart shares the pain he has in him. But I wish everyone reading this blog tells the world how awful this daughter and son is. If any of you a son or daughter, think what you did to your parents.

14.10.2013 - Estima Aeras BUY or no BUY

To buy a car is not that difficult after all. Find them, pay the down payment and wait for the car to be delivered. Whether it is new or used car, the same applies. But when it comes to monthly installment resale of the car and maintenance, that will be another disasters. These are hidden cost that is so difficult to predict especially for used car; where maintenance and replacement of parts is inevitable. During my old days, I am 1 of the strong supporters of the local made car; Proton. I would buy local made car only since it is at the affordable prices compared to import cars such as Toyota, Honda, etc. and so on. Of course if the price is cheaper, you will have to bear to consequences and possibility to have bad quality or unreliable car. Major problem that usually discovered are malfunction power windows, rattling sound on dashboard after 1 to 2 years, malfunction meters, increase of petrol consumption, worn out piston ring, broken timing belt, leak at air con cooling coil, etc.
But if you are looking for premium cars, you can ops for Mercedes, BMW, VW, etc. in which their price is way  much higher than the ordinary car makers. But what makes you think that the continental cars are reliable? I heard Peugeot cars was made / design to cater cold weather but not desert weather; so lubricant oil leakage is very common to happen after several years. How true that is?Another concern most is, the resale value. What really matters in our country is, the European made cars has no resale value. Seriously speaking I don't know why but i think this is a little silly. The only cars that has resale value are local made car and Japanese made cars except Mazda, Mitsubishi and Subaru. But when it comes to Reconditioned cars, which the term used by most of the used car dealers, the price of the second hand cars that has being refurbished / cleaned, cost way more expensive than an ordinary new Japanese car made in Malaysia. A new Toyota Camry in Malaysia cost approx. 150k; but for an MPV Estima Aeras year 2008, the car price was raised up high as 160k without any warranty. I was a little stunt when I got to know this. Why would we risk ourselves to get a car that has is extremely expensive but has no warranty at all? Yet there are still many of us choose to buy it.Stupidly I am 1 of them. So, I was in dilemma for the past few days. I actually planned to purchase a reconditioned car (Toyota Estima) year 2008. To my surprised, the car was 2008 made; 5 years used car. The condition is perfect internally and externally; looks brand new and some of the items are still plastic wrapped. 
The total mileage/ODO meter is approx. 22k in which I think definitely ridiculous. I was told that the importer has done necessarily on the ODO, washing, cleaning and repainting to make the car looks presentable. I was asked to test drive the car and it was amazed on its performance. But how long can the reconditioned car last operational; that will be another question. I am a great fan of Toyota Estima since I was a child. The physical aero-dynamic  design is so attracting, not counting the features in the car that is so spacious, comfortable seat, full rear aircon and electronic operated doors for both sides. Just the look itself has kills our thought to search for alternative cars. I was in the plan to go for Local made MPV cars but the car has been implanted into my mine. It is so difficult to resist but for the sake of safe side, I would rather choose to drive my old damn car than putting myself into another trouble. Paying for the installment is way killing but if any of the parts or engine failure, I guess I can just forget about my meal and dump all my cash in just to repair the car. Now why would I stupidly put myself into that risk? But now can I forget the sensation and interest to buy the car?

30.09.2013 - Retro: WASABI

I was amazed yesterday when our local TV aired the old comedy cum action pack movie - WASABI, but in English. Kind of weird watching the movie in English while the original is in French. Exactly, mouth movement not consistent to the voice. But why at 12am / midnight? Gosh.... it leaves me no choice but to stop watching half way through as my sleepiness is calling badly. I love this movie during years back and I have a copy of VCD that I kept for more than 10 years. If I am not mistaken, I have watch this movie for more than 5 times. Sometimes I keep asking myself, if I already watch it, why would I want to watch the same again and again, repeatedly? Anyway I am a movie buzz person. I don't mind watching the same movie for more than once if it entertains me. I thought if I can replace the VCD I had with DVD but think again, will DVD face out soon? Or probably BLURAY? I wish there is a cinema that plays old movies; I bet I will be the only one buying the tickets. Anyway for those who have yet to watch this movie, I would recommend you watch them with your kids. Although there are violence (very minimal) acts but the most important of all, the hidden love story between the father and daughter. No matter how tough a man his, to them, their family is always comes first. To those who interested to watch this movie, I recommend you purchase the original French version with English subtitle. At least you can have the real sound effect and original voice from the actress and actors. Of course you have to pay more attention on the subtitles if you wish to understand the movie.

27.09.2013 - 15 years jailed for humiliating the flag?

1 of the blogger says; Malaysia government has implemented new protocol and will table them in the parliament. 15 years jail for humiliating our flags. But what is the criteria?
Now asking; what about burning other people flag? This happen quite frequent in our country though. What say you?

27.09.2013 - What a JOKE; Malaysian

Malaysia has been a great laughing material for the past few years. But lately it has become even funnier than before. I am not talking this with a stand on any political point of view or be sided to any parties. But more to six sense and common sense.
Altantuya, a purchase of sub marine case already become a topic globally; I don't think anyone of us can easily obtain C4 except the government agent; so who did the bombing; even the stupid 1 knows who. The one convicted the crime of Altantuya assassination was released months back and the case is just closed without further trial. We call it "MATI BUTA". The assassinator was right! People tend to forget and forgive when time flies. This is Malaysian!
Cheating in the General Election was another laughing material; I would say a history of mankind in Malaysia. A sudden black out during vote counting and introduction of ballot boxes was 1 of the best magic shows ever heard throughout our lives. Everyone knows including other countries political team and NGOs but nothing can be done except making a hidden laughing 'congratulation' speech.
Another 1; which is very stupidly done. Malaysian Government didn't increase the petrol price; the petrol price increase was due to reduction of government petrol subsidy. The government stress again that the petrol price is not increased but government have to reduce the subsidy. Am laughing again.
The government also thought that the Citizens are still stupid or more known to them as "BODOH"; they publicly announced that petrol RON97 is charged at market price without government subsidy at MYR2.70/liter. For RON95 the government decided to increase the petrol price by slicing off (a little) subsidy to MYR2.10/liter. To make the story more exciting; the government says they are still subsidizing the RON95 at MYR0.63/liter. That means, the total market price for RON95 = MYR2.10 + MYR0.63 = MYR2.73/Liter. The funny part is, how could RON95 more expensive than RON97? Well, because the citizen has raised their questions; the government decided to increase MYR0.15/liter to MYR2.85/liter for RON97.
Next; the national account audit done found out that there are excessive expenditure in the government body. Purchase of each items such as hospital bed, government car, etc. was found above the market value approx. 100%. Now where the money goes? even the BODOH also know.
Another 1; National service. I call this COPY CAT. Looking at how Singapore and Taiwan run this program, the Malaysian government decided to implement the similar program to all the secondary school leavers; I am not sure what is the main objective of this program but I know this is absolutely copy-cat. For other countries; we know that they are hoping the teenagers / adults are well trained to prepared for battle just in case if there are any threat to their country. At the same time, it will discipline the teenager and strengthen their ability in all aspects. But to us, what did we get? Killing cases, mat rempit and worst of all rape cases in the camp. I don't think any of us can remember this.
The are many more laughing materials in our country but the best of all; which I think best of the best; the government is worried and scare of the dead Communist Leader ashes. Let me put it simple; what ever happened in the past the government appeal to the Rakyat to forgive and forget (yes they waited for us to forget before they make the  move). If United States remember how Tun Mahathir shoot them badly back then and keeping grudges like how our current did to Chin Peng, I wonder how are we going to meet the forth coming OBAMA. Is it with artillery or C4? Nah joking not really matter because I am just making assumption. Whatever Chin Peng did in the past was not being evaluated. When he fought the Japanese and British, where are the other Malaysian? hiding at home or making good friend with the enemy? Every country has their own history. They don't choose the history; it happened and everyone respect it as it is. If the government collapse; then be it. When they fought for victory; everyone feel proud of it. But how do we got our victory? Go back to your Sejarah book and read it all over again. You know!
The invasion of Sulu at was not classified as terrorist; the terrorist that bomb hotels in Indonesia was welcomed home because he did not bomb Malaysian (so Malaysia actually praise this terrorist) but when Chin Peng trying to return to Malaysia as 'Ashes' without soul, The Malaysian Government says NO. Is that means, the Malaysian government scare of dead person but not the terrorist that trying to invade Malaysia? I was told that the police jokers was deployed to secure the Penang airport and scrutinize all luggage and bags from Thailand to prevent smuggling of Chin Peng's ashes. Let me put that more simple; the government is more concern about the ashes than guns? what a laughing materials.
There are many more things that happen in our BOLEH land similarly as other country too. But if the government declared the country as democracy, why is the government keep arresting people that condemn the government and convict them as a 'national security threat'? I think 'democrazy' would be best describe us than democracy. Ah... too  many issues to be brought up but will that change anything? no! why? because, Malaysian tend to forget things easily when time passed. IN other words, Malaysian are very forgetful and BODOH.
Something to think about; do you think PKR will do good if they take over the country? THINK! the PKR leader too an EX UMNO deputy president.

24.09.2013 - Yes what more you want the Chinese to do???

Very good article received from a FREN. Yes what more you want the Chinese to do???
A Foreigner Comments on Malaysia

This is a very well written article that we should be read by all. Comments from a foreign writer Bryant on Mahathir's article: Kaki dalam Kasut where he says the Chinese are the real masters of Malaysia.
This article was written without fear or favor, and it is up to us to... digest individually the truth of the matter, especially for all Malaysians (irrespective of race, color, creed or religion).
To: The highly respected Tun Mahathir,
China is coming up, India is coming up, Vietnam is coming up and now even Russia is on the rise. In this flat world that is all wired up and regardless whether we are Malaysian Malay, Chinese or Indian, and if Malaysia does not progress, all of us would become history of this country! Without the Malay, Chinese could not do well in the country and without the Chinese, Malay would not do well. Both have to work together to bring up Malaysia and mitigate the ascute impact that is being brought about by the globalization.
For me, a true leader is someone who has the foresight that not only focus on one particular group in the country but take care of the future of everyone. A good leader is someone who knows what is the biggest threat the country is facing and direct the people to fight off the threat. A leader is also someone who is impartial that has the ability to promote harmony in the country for a long period of time.
UMNO is a political loser that leads the country to nowhere. They do not understand what is going on in the outside world. They have no clue where Malaysia will be in the next 30 years. With the 3 new superpowers, i.e India , China and Russia standing tall and high together with the USA and the European Union, they do not know what kind of world it would be and how Malaysia is going to compete and share the ever smaller slice of cake of the world economy. They only know how to get the Malays to fight with other Non-Malays on tiny issues within Malaysia , while the races know jolly well that the issues they are fighting are trivial and is totally self-satisfying.
UMNO does not give a damn to how the poor Malays are going to live in the future and they do not care about the real benefits of the poor Malays. They only want the votes from them. The NEP is a good evidence on how they benefit the cronies, instead of the poor Malays. Despite all their despicable acts they are still in the power.

The highly respected Tun,

As you are aware, the Malays control the rights to all the lands and all other natural resources in this country. They control all government institutions, GLC and State owned companies. The Malays dominate the lawmaking process in Malaysia ; The Malays control the decision making process in formulating the economy policies. The Malays own the largest national assets and the Malays are given shares in the public listed companies for free. The Malays have also been given all kind of priorities when it comes to buying properties, awarding of public contracts, tertiary education opportunities, awarding of scholarships and even getting a job in government departments.

With all these privileges and rights enjoyed by the Malays, you are saying nothing has been done enough to help the Malays to catch up with other races mainly the Chinese. Then what else should Malaysia do to satisfy the Malays? Did the Chinese seize or rob anything away from the Malays or was all their wealth, a result of their hard work? If it is all due to their hard work, why do you say it is unfair? I don't quite get your point here.

May I humbly ask you what do you expect the Chinese to do if your so-called NEP did not achieve the desired result? Would the Malays be happy if the ethnic Chinese in this country do any of the followings:

- surrender their assets and hard earned money to the Malays unconditionally
- not to engage in any business activities;
- not to score As in all sort of examinations;
- not to make money that is more than the Malays are earning;
- not to advance to higher education; or
- renounce their citizenships and go back to China or migrate to some other countries?

I am a foreigner but I am surprised that your intention is to divide your own country. I think you are mainly targeting the Chinese.
Frankly, tell us, what do you expect the Chinese to do in order to achieve what is so called equality" meant by you?

Tun, after all these criticism you have against the present government, I feel that you are starting to loose your rationality on your arguments. You have run out of good reasons to convince us. I guess it could be due to your accumulating jealousy of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, your former counterpart in Singapore .

But reality is always hard to accept. No matter how, you have to accept the fact that he is regarded the Father of Singapore but you are not regarded the Father of Malaysia; you have to accept the fact that Mr Lee is able to influence the government of Singapore until the day he dies but you have not been able to influence the government from the moment you stepped down as PM.

You must also accept the fact that he is still very popular on the world stage and a leader respected by many but you are not quite. Because of these jealousies, you are starting to accumulate imbalances in yourself that lead you to embark on a series of action to attack
your successors. It is very obvious that you are not happy when your successors are more popular than you. Is there any good of doing that? What is your intention? Can't you take it easy?

During your time, you criticized most of the developed countries especially the Western Countries out of jealousy and after stepping down as PM you criticize every single soul remaining in the cabinet for not listening to you. When will you ever stop criticizing any people? Can't you respect the decision of others?

Back to your recent blog, is there anything wrong with the Chinese in this country? Did they seize or rob the money away from the Malays? Did they have the ability to come out with any policies to marginalize the Malays? Did they dominate the lawmaking process of this country?
Did they formulate the economy policies in this country? Did they control the government departments in this country? Did they control the state owned companies and GLC in this country? Did they control the country's largest oil companies and banks?

You know the answer right?

Malays are the one who dominate the lawmaking process of this country; Malays are the one that formulate the economy policies in this country that favors the Malays. Malays are the ones that control the government departments, state owned companies and GLC. Malays are the one that control the funds in this country. Malays are also the ones that control the largest oil companies and banking industry in this country. With all these rights enjoyed by the Malays, what else do you want the Chinese to do? Surrender their houses and savings and their wealth that they earned with their hardwork to the Malays? Or ask all the Chinese to renounce their citizenship and go back to China?

Have you ever thought of the fact after 30 years of implementing NEP, why it does not achieve the desired result? Or it does achieve but being denied.

Under the NEP there are a series of policies that favors the Malays.
If with all these policies, it still does not give the Malays what they want, what else do you want the Chinese to do? Is the Chinese to be blamed because they are too hard working? Or the Malays to be blamed because they do not treasure the opportunities given?

You know very well the NEP has been misused and it only benefits the cronies. So if you have designed NEP to only benefits the cronies, please don't say it is the problem of Chinese that NEP does not achieve its result. It has nothing to do with the Chinese but NEP and the Malay themselves.

This is a globalized world, Chinese and Malays should not be fighting against each other because Malaysia is competing with other countries.
China used to be backward and lagging behind Malaysia but now they have caught up and have even surpassed Malaysia . Can we ask them to slow down their development? If they refuse to listen, can we make a complaint to the United Nations that China is developing too fast and
this is very unfair to Malaysia , which adapts a more passive approach? Who gives you the right to prevent others from progressing?

Who do you think you are? This is a flat world (Obviously Tun did not read the book named "The World is Flat"). Don't be so narrow minded to only focus on the Chinese or Malay in Malaysia . We should now look at the world as a flat world. If Malaysia does not progress, no matter we are Malays or Chinese, we would be extinct one day!

Have a God-blessed day.

Perhaps one of the most humorous decision they made was to revert to Malay in the teaching of mathematics and science because there is insufficient teachers to teach the subjects in English. Why must they destroy the use of English in education over the last 35 years to the extend that they can't even find teachers for the subject. It can only be pure arrogance. Even China is adopting the use of English in their education system.

04.09.2013 - 20 cent hike on Petrol RON95; What say you?

During the General Election, everyone of us aware that; the large sum of money used to buy voters, preparing for the winning, setting up the stations and planning the cheats is going to be claimed soon, just the matter of time. Even the silly 1 knows where and how the government is going to claim them back. E.g. Government Sales Tax, Service Tax and Petrol Price hike.
4 months past; everyone is waiting for the real to happen. I still remember the slogan used by the federal "Janji Ditepati" / Fulfilling the promises. And now they are fulfilling their promises; i.e. killing the citizen. What really makes me feel disappointed is, the government has promised that there will be no petrol price increment before the election. Now, they claimed that there is no increment of petrol price but reduction of government subsidies on petrol. What kind of bullshit it is? RON97 in my country is charged at 2.70 per litre and now with the increased of RON95, i.e. 2.10 per litre. According to this joker, the government is still paying for the subsidies of 63 cent for RON95, i.e. 2.10 + 0.63 = 2.73 per litre. Is that call cheating or what? RON97 = 2.70 and RON95 = 2.73? Silliest thing I ever come across. RON97 is more expensive than RON95? Let's be stupid and accept them. In fact there is nothing much we can do except listen, listen, listen and pay, pay and pay.
Now, what we are more concern of is, will other remaining items including necessity items increased too? This is what happen in the past. Petrol increase 20cents, other items increased 10 cents. When petrol price dropped, other items price remains. When petrol price increase again, other items increases too. So, when will the 'other items' price dropping? That shows how our government handle such situation. Lack of responsibility and being too selfish. When they started the BR1M; i.e. RM500; they call it an award to the citizen; but we call it 'government returning our money';  I have strong feeling that this will surely be collected back soon. In a month, I uses approx. 180 litre of petrol. In a year that will be approx. 2160 litre. If we count the cost I have to fork out for my petrol at 1.90 that will  be 4104 Ringgit per year. If that is based on the new rate, that will be 4536 Ringgit per year. So I have to fork out additional 432 ringgit; not counting on other items that follows the petrol price hike. So, in return, we are actually spending more than what the BR1M returns. Can you ever imagine for those trucking company, where fuel is purely their raw materials to run the business, how are they going to survive? This is where the transportation cost will increase, follow by the goods and reaches to the consumer.
Question is, why can't PETRONAS support the subsidies? we have good grade fuel resources in our country. With the sales / profit from the natural resources from the soil, where are those money goes? what project they are talking about? Why don't they contra the subsidies with the profit gain from the resources? Aren't they feed themselves enough?  
Now, the citizen, what have you all did? what is your response? Let me put it simple, everyone is mad, disappointed and angry. For those who sell their vote for the federal government during the election, well, thank you so much for making the price keep on going up. For those that feeling unfair and dissatisfied, don't worry you will get used to it soon and continue to pay the large sum of money for some items that is not worth the price for the sake of surviving. No one go to the street, no one make  police report, no one approach the consumer association, no one boycotting, etc. just throw out and shout out loud in the internet and after days, everything go back to normal. That's why the government continues to implement things that benefits them only and let the citizen suffers. Because even they agitate the citizen, they will not take it that long. Just the matter of time the citizen will rest in peace and continue to serve the government by feeding them fat and bulging. Every senior citizen that I met, says; don't make a mess, don't create problem otherwise the police / government will catch you and put you in jail. Sound like my father in old days. Don't be naughty, otherwise I will cane you.
I am not condemning the citizen or myself or the government but this is the truth in my point of view. The one that increase the price uses expensive cars, living in huge bungalows, owned lands and oversea houses, plenty cash in oversea bank, killing people, etc. What do we get after all?
Yes we have to put a stop but with this kind of mentality (I mean the citizen) it will be just a dream after all. What the citizen know is they are getting 500 Ringgit a year and making a slight noises is sufficient because they are afraid of the dirty government that can kill them or catch them with a framed allegation.
