Funny things happen in Malaysia

#1 The Government calculated that the people didn't pay for RM0.78 increase on the petrol price after they get the reimbursement. It is some sort like about RM0.23 increase. Bu tone question: why didn't the governemtn directly use the RM625 reimbursement as subsidy, but instead get the peopl into trouble to go to the post office, queue up and fill up form for reimbursement?

#2 The Gabungan Badan NGO Malaysia Yang Menyokong Perdana Menteri is going to rally for PM on 12 July in Putrajaya, and estimated 20000 people will attend the rally and show support for PM. Why the rally? Is it approved?

#3 Kedah Menteri Besar called for a project to log Kedah and he said RM16million will be earned from the "NATURE KILLING" activity, and he felt proud of it. Someone please lecture him on saving Mother Nature.

#4 Selangor PR government is in trouble over corruption lawsuit.

#5 Singapore is a small island with very good infrastructure and public transport. Their MRT covers most parts of the island and the buses are easily accessed from every corner of the island. Now they postpone the Penang Monorail project and the island bus services are like snails on arrival and departure, and a road maniac on the journey. Ish!

#6 I support Dr M and his brain!

back from KK, down with gastric

Just came back from KK...but was on medical leave for two days due to gastric. Dunno how I got the gastric thingy, maybe due to the fact that I was alone at the education fair in KK and had no time for lunch for two days.

Sigh!

since everyone is doing this

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

I have no life anymore

An increase of 78 cents on petrol all around Malaysia; from the original RM1.92 per litre to the new RM2.70 per litre, is putting all Malaysians from all walks of life jumping from their seats. I wouldn't said that it is not right to increase the petrol price and removing the subsidy, but such drastic and sudden increase will result in negative impacts towards the country economy, with the decrease of near 30 points in KLSE yesterday.

And how about the feeling and life of the people?

First we see a price increase in rice, which hiked up all food price, and now we are thrown to face such high increase in petrol price. What is the trend here? Are the government out of money to spend? Are we going bankrupt? Is there a motive or agenda behind all these? To make people feel that we cannot afford to have a change in government or leadership under such strenous time? I wouldn't want to speculate because there are so many possibilities.

But one thing for sure, a lot of people will suffer especially families that earn just enough but now have to be taken to task to cope with at least RM100-200 increase in petrol spending. And that's on petrol alone.

We all know there is going to be a superb chain reaction.

Petrol price increase = everything increase.

So we are not going to only spend more on petrol, but on daily expenses as well.

Thank you Pak Lah.

Weekender!

A very comfortable weekender instead! Been a long time since I have so much time to watch 2 movies in a day at Sunway Pyramid. I watched Long Khong 2 and Someone Behind You today, and both are ghost/horror movies.

And there is a charity drive in Sunway too. But I just couldn't dare myself to sit there and get my hair cut by those trainees in A Cut Above Academy. No one can mess up my hair.

Then I walked into Popular, and gosh, bought a book for RM17. It is "GuanXi: The Art of Relationships".

Bandar Mahkota and blocks

Funny things do happen in Malaysia. First I read about a home where all the clothes washed will start to worn and tear within days and the family have to spend to buy new clothes every two to three months. Then I read about this news about Grand Saga putting up concrete blocks to block off a road in Bandar Mahkota, and a bloody fight between some hooligans (I wonder where they come from) and the residents who tried to take away the blocks.

I would like to be a resident there as I can foresee a legal case to be filed against the company, the present government and the perbandaran. If the residents win, they get compensation. Oooo....money does matter to me much nowadays.

And really funny things do happen in Malaysia.

And oh, they are no longer subsidying RapidKL, and I wonder why there is a subsidy at first place. It should be a healthy competition between all bus companies. Eventually I thought there is a company who one to try out being a low-cost bus transportation company, but at the end, nah....subsidy.

Why I Hate Politics

Why I hate politics?

I have been asked by some people to join political parties and make myself loyal to certain group of people, so that I can so-called share my ideas. But till now, I am almost certain I will never join any political parties, and now I am very certain. No matter it is BN or PR, I don't think I will want to join any one of them. I rather stay free as an observer and share my critics here in my blog and with my friends, and make myself a good citizen. hmmm....maybe not that good.

The recent disputes, between the government and the opposition, or within parties (ahhem...like UMNO) shuold give us, the good Malaysians, a clear picture who our group of MPs is and how ugly politics can be.

Instead of moving Malaysia forward, all of them (and I mean all of them) have destabilize our country. The biggest contributor, of course, would be the internal UMNO conflicts (or has it become external as our beloved Tun Dr. Mahathir quitted?). Being the so-called representative of the major ethnic group, and a party who has leads us all to development for the past 50 years, the leadership has now been questioned, by all ethnic groups including the Malays. Please do not give the reason that the Chinese and Indian have become more demanding. They have always been demanding since many many years ago, and even during Tun Mahathir's period as Prime Minister, they have demanded a lot of things, but why they have become more and more demanding now? SImple reason: Tun Mahathir is one a great leader who has in his way, brought us development and good life. Penang Bridge, Proton, KLCC, Sepang circuit, has all opened up a new dimension to Malaysia.

UMNO has weakened as their internal conflicts have become a little uncontrolable. The dispute published in all media has not been favourable to the political stability in Malaysia. And we all know that if this continues, there goes our economy and foreign investments.

And the Opposition is not doing much either.

Their agenda is to form the federal government. But the strategy they are using is not helping Malaysia now either. Keeping mum on certain issues and then stick a knife into certain issues are not the way to help Malaysia poltical scene. If they are clever, come up with solutions now, and the Malaysians will vote for them.

But now, where is the promise to bring down the price of necessity? Where are the development promised in the five states?

At the end, I find that politics is too dirty for a small young Malaysian like me. It is sickening to see these great actors and actresses who can get nominated for Oscar for their real life acting skill.

Come on. Everyone remembers the crying scene when Tun Mahathir announced his retirement. And now, they growled, gnawed and munched on Tun's statements.

As I have replied in Tun's blog, we don't care now what has happened in the past, as Tun has bring us far more stability and development.

What we care now is petrol price is shooting skyhigh, and even rice has keep all Malaysians pocket dry.

Tell me BN and PR: WHAT ARE YOU ALL GOING TO DO TO AMEND ALL THESE?
