The zero – sum game

The zero – sum game

Malaysians need to calm down. This is Malaysia, there is no room for “us” versus “them”. We have been segregated enough to let politics drive a wedge between us. Since when did we start dictating our countrymen on who to vote and pick, and chastise them after? What is the point of having democracy, the freedom of choice then? And boycotting each other? When will that end? What happened to the people that came up with...

Strike One Mr Home Minister

Strike One Mr Home Minister

What an ingenious way to settle a problem. Just, leave. Go away, walk away. Brilliant isn’t it? Dato’ Seri Najib certainly hit home with our Home Minister. I wonder how many apples fell on his head to light that bulb. Imagine if Mahatma Ghandi had just, left. Or Martin Luther King just stopped having dreams and abandoned the US. If only they had someone like our Home Minister then. Mahatma Ghandi and Mr King would have lived...

1Country, 1School

1Country, 1School

The greatest transformation, and therefore the biggest challenge we face as a nation is how to put this country first before any man, woman or child. That our differences should and must be our strength, not weakness. Those who scream violation of their racial rights should be sent to an uninhabited island, to live and interact with only their own kind.

Adam Adli. The boy who has nothing to lose.

Adam Adli. The boy who has nothing to lose.

Adam Adli wants to topple the government. He said, “We cannot wait for five years to overthrow Umno and BN, 2013 is ours. We will bring them down. I urge the people of Malaysia to unite and go down to the streets to take back what is ours. Elections won’t overthrow the government, the people’s power will.” Read his statement here. That should not be the future of Malaysia. I pity him, his parents, and especially the tax payers who...

An Open Letter to PM

An Open Letter to PM

Whatever you do Mr Prime Minister, please do not underestimate Malaysians. We would prefer evolution, transformation instead of a revolution but when push comes to shove, we will take our chances with a new government instead of the current one.

Ministerial Matters

Ministerial Matters

Alright BN, you have won the election with 47% of votes. Dato’ Sri Haji Mohammad Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak was sworn in as Malaysian Prime Minister yesterday afternoon. What follows in the next few days, will be the selection and formation of the new Malaysian Cabinet Ministers. I hope there will be major changes and overhaul from the previous lineup. First of all, the PM must trim the number of Ministers down. We do not need 40...

The indelible 13th GE.

The indelible 13th GE.

"Malaysians have taken the biggest step in the right direction by going out to vote. They braved the rain, heat and traffic to exercise their duty as responsible citizens. This is from the same people who stubbornly park their cars as they please, rarely queue for public transports and and ask for a bargain whenever they shop."

Are you a Malaysian?

Are you a Malaysian?

How can we as a nation cry ‘CHANGE‘ when we still judge people from their skin colour? I have just witnessed a dark skinned Malay man being harassed by his countrymen for being ‘dark‘, and later another Indian man for the same crime. At least ask nicely, and get the authorities to investigate. No matter how ‘phantom‘, ghastly or alien they may appear to you, do not take matters into your own hands. And...

JOM UNDI!

JOM UNDI!

First of all, yes, this site is back up again. Thank you for your emails, your direct messages on Facebook and Twitter. I dedicate this blog to all of you. Secondly, I hope everyone is ready to vote tomorrow. Vote for the leader you think is best for yourself, your children, your parents, your community, and one who understands your aspiration, fights for your welfare and guards the nations’ sovereignty by respecting the constitution and...

Get out of the hair salons

Get out of the hair salons

I wonder if PAS has anything more than meets the eye. As the inevitable 13th general election approaches, and political parties scramble to put their best foot forward, PAS is grappling at issues that are colloquial at best. The saga involving segregation of patrons in hair salons is a case in point. One would think that with all the problems we have to deal with as a nation, we should be able to walk into a hair salon for a haircut, from...

Palestine and the elusive peace

Palestine and the elusive peace

I am all for the Palestinians. Their woeful state of affairs screams at the double standards in human rights practised by those in the corridors of world power. For those who are naive about the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians, it began when the Palestinian’s homeland for over a thousand years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force during the creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes — on...

We need IPCMC, stat!

We need IPCMC, stat!

We need the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission, or IPCMC, set up, stat. I am not sure about the rest, but I have not forgotten about the report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Police Force which revealed that the police were brutal, inept and the most corrupt. That was in 2005 during Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s tenure as prime minister and seven years later, we are still at square one. I remembered the...

Dr Kelvin Choo in Memory. July 1st 1980 – November 16th 2012

Dr Kelvin Choo in Memory. July 1st 1980 – November 16th 2012

Dr Kelvin Choo has passed on. He had battled cancer with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and even surgery over the last few years and has finally called it a day, today. His courage and perseverance draws the respect and admiration from many, but what made him even more venerable was his age when he battled the mother of all battles. While most of us wake up groaning about the day ahead, he has over the last few months been waking up to the fact...

Blow my whistle baby…

Blow my whistle baby…

I haven’t written in a while. I blame it on exams, assignments, classes and, of course, work. There were many things to write about over the last few months, but none moved me enough to make me write… well, until today. It all started with my short trip to McDonald’s for breakfast. Not to promote the already popular franchise, but I sometimes dream of having their meals for breakfast, and last night was one of those nights. So...

Getting it done, and done right.

Getting it done, and done right.

I was not brought up with a silver spoon. My siblings and I went to public schools, did not carry handphones, laptops, Gameboys or any other fancy gadgets to school ― simply because we didn’t have them. Be that as it may, we had fun growing up. The sense of family and the importance of values were inculcated in us from young. I was always reminded of other less fortunate individuals around me, and how I should be thankful and count my...
