Have You Seen a Clown?

A clown tries hard to fool his audience with lots of tricks. He put on a smiling look though the heat caused im much sweating in that clown suite.Deep inside him is much anxiety and sorrow. His acts and his smiles are just for the $$$$.

Of late we witnessed Malaysian clowns putting on an act again. Sweeties after a magic show of fuel price incrase; Left hand holding a"review for the benefit of the people"slogan,right hand holds a "no monorail project for Penang"signboard;the mouth blows the pride of democracy, the feet stepped on press freedom at the parliment house;now holds a play card of sodomy, and turned a deaf ear blind eyes to national cries etc.

Who do you think the clown is trying to fool? The intellectual public? Ha ha, it only goes to fool himself like the story of the King and His New Dress. ha ha laughed the crowd, "Here goes the fool again", the public pointing the fingers to the clown. Ha ha...

Poverty and Wealth

To eradicate poverty in the nation is an excellent goal. It has been the goal of BN for the last 50 years. Is it a failure ? Since BN is still at it after 50 years.

Poverty in Malaysia is more of the result of human factor rather than the course of nature. It is a fact that if any Malaysian is hard working he will make a good living. Laziness and slothfulness is the main cause of poverty in Malaysia. We have no natural disaster, no war, no lack of business opportunity just need hard work and wise financial management.

Our role is to implement training program to bring up a generation of hard working, productive Malaysians. Has it been the top priority of poverty eradication program? It is not forcing your way into business, but be equipped and be interested in business. Cultivate the right business man mentality, hard work and thrifty mind set. Be people oriented and not relying on government subsidy or sponsorship. Be real business man.

Calling All MPs

MPs are representing the rakyat to oversee the management of Malaysia. If Mps really playing their role well, no government in power dares to ignore their presence in the parliment and to ignore the cries of the rakyat.

May I call all MPs in the parliment to think about the future of Malaysia. Think about your children and your children's children. Think about the damage that can be done to a God blessed Malaysia. If you love Malaysia, and if you love your rakyat more than silver and gold, speak out!

If your sensible representation is ignored, why throw in your support? Turn the table around. If our beloved nation wants to grow and be developed, stand to your conviction and reject bias policy. Stamp out corruption and protect national wealth. Rid of evil and put the upright in position. If MPs do not act when there is opportunity to save Malaysia, we will land up like some African countries, poor rakyat in want and living at the mercy of rich ruling class. This will result in social ill, unrest, and power struggle. The good and beauty of blessed Malaysia will be ruined. Is that what MPs wanted?

Do what is within your decision to turn around the situation for your children's children sake. Future of Malaysia is in MPs decision.

Slapping On His Own Face

What was the high light of the review of the 9th,Malaysian Plan? Quote what is reported in NST front page:"the government is committed to doing anything to lighten the burden of the people and preserving the quality of life."

"Priotiy to improve facilities of public transport".

So what is so wrong about the monorail project? Has it not fit in to the whole purpose of the mid-term review of the 9th.MP? It is a people oriented public transport system, easing congested traffic of Penang and also providing a cleaner air and healthy enviroment. It will definitely lighten the burden of the people.

If our government is for all people our government has no reason to stop or postpond the project. If it is financial retrain, then leave it to Penang to have a free hand on the project. We are sure, without any prejudices, there will be contractors who are able to take up the project and finish it before the next general election.

If the central government is the block to the development of Penang or any state due to prejudices, it will only call for a back fire, a total rejection for such non-people oriented government. Has not the BN government learn its lesson well after 308? Do not try to fool an educated Malaysian population. This is the blind spot for BN government. Not even the kampong folks can be fooled easily. The kampong folks witnessed the imbalance between the rich (ruling classes) and the poor rakyat of all races. The kampong folks thanked the support of hard working community for their livelihood and employment, and realised that there are the poor among all rakyat. The rich belongs to the ruling class, the poor are the rakyat. Even the rich business community, they slog day and night, sacrificing their homes and children, to provide for their family, and to provide for their employee. They realised it is the ruling class that drain off the resources of the rakyat, the hard sweat money through taxes, and mismanagement of the national fund etc. They know a small project can be awarded for a big substantial amount. They know.....the talk of the town and kampong....the rakyat is not fools to be played with.

If not taking the chances given by the rakyat properly this round, the next round BN is no more!!! The rakyat thanked the BN government for the good that had been done, so the support, and anger. But if the voice of the rakyat is ignored, the rakyat has no choice but to throw off BN for good.

So the policy and action at this point of time is a test to see whether it is worth supporting BN in power, or should the rakyat reject BN altogether and get PR up into the front.

Enviroment & Natural Disasters

Kedah seems to aprove the logging of an area twice the size of Singapore. Is it true? Human is responsible to take care of what God has given for us to enjoy, our fresh water, fresh air, and cooling effect of greenery landscaping of Malaysia.

We are to take good care of our enviroment for healthy living. A good steward of nature will help to keep a good balance of ecology, thus the country will not invite natural disasters to Malaysia.

Malaysians may have taken lots of things for granted: no earthquake, no typhoon, no cyclones, no heat waves. However, let us remember the near miss of earthquake, near miss of a typhoon, the losing of clear flowing river, the increase of air pollution, the uncertainty of our weather etc.
Whatever we sew we will reap.

Let us not go after the west, building tall buildings. Our city need not be represnted by tall buildings, but by its clealiness, its quality buildings, its greenery landscaping, its efficient public transportation, its modern communication technology etc.
We should preserve our greenery landscape and introducing development to rural settlement with quality housing surrounded by greenery, clear flowing streams and rivers, with beautiful flowery landscape etc.

Let us be a developed nation in our Malaysian way: power and water supply to all rural township and settlements, quality housing for rakyat Malaysia, ample supply of food stuff, cheap and convenient public transport system, lots of recreation centres and greenery parks, lots of job opportunities, and minimal national debts, best educational facility, and peaceful and harmonious community. Be an enviromental friendly nation, free from all natural disasters.

Right Thinking & Right Decision

Now that our DPM Datuk Seri Najib Razak has assured all Malaysians and specifically to all SABAHAN that the government will conduct a large operation against the illegal immigrants in Sabah, we hope Sabahan should have the peace of mind to trust the government.

This is a right decision. Illegal immigrants can pose a security problem to the nation. Remember the wooden horse of TROY. How the enemy was led into the walled city of Troy and cause the fall of city.

Illegal immigrants have no sense of belonging. They have no feel for the people around them. Not even loyalty to the country. They can be rough and ruthless when face with life pressure. They will resort to crime.

In fact Malaysia should review our import of foreign workers ---- too much of dependent on such work force give rise to social ill. Resolve man power problem positively.If we wanted to keep our labour cost low to be competitive and to attract foreign investment, we should keep our cost of living low through reduction of taxes on some basic commodities, subsidies of basic needs, cheap public transport systems, and tax insentive for provision of workers' quarters etc.

Our government policy should care to look into the need and livelihood problem of the general public and not just to think of profit and gain of business tycoon.

Where should Malaysia Be Heading to?

In life we need to set a goal for ourselves. With that goal we will strife forward overcoming all obstacles heading toward the goal.Where should Malaysia be heading to? What is our goal? We seems to have set Wawasan 2020 as our goal some time back. Can we just ask ourselves, do we know what we aspire to achieve with 2020? How are we doing? Do not be self deceived.

We should be heading towards a Harmonious and Prosperous Malaysia.
Harmonious ---- where everybody in Malaysia seeing everyone as Malaysians, accepting one another, respecting one another, and working hand in hand with one another, trusting one another, builidng up a peaceful and harmonious community.

How to achieve such objective? Drop ALL communal politics. Work towards a Rakyat Malaysia politic.Aim to build up the nation, blessing the Rakyat and not just a particular group of people mentality.
Politicians must learn to be good parents. Be humble and be honest and be upright. Learn to be a good losser. If you have failed to win the support of the rakyat, just admit it and quit or improve yourself. No develish tricks and evil attempts. All for the good of Malaysia.
Be fair and just to all rakyat----let the law rules the nation and not money politic.

Prosperous ----where the riches of the land is enjoyed by all rakyat. Where the success of the nation is a blessing to all rakyat. Not so much of being rich and wealthy, but being able to live with joy and happiness, enjoying the facility of modern lifestyle, benefiting from the development of the modern technology, and being rich in quality life.

Watch out for this evil of greed: rakyat suffers in need of basic living while the people on high live high and mighty lifestyle. Fight against the evil of wanting to boss around people, making slaves of rakyat while those in authority misuse of power and national wealth. It is a curse to a blessed land like Malaysia. It will lead Malaysia into great poverty, unrest, and power struggle. Drop all that in the mind, and be good parents to all rakyat, Malaysia a heaven on planet earth.

Dress for the Occasion

Bentayan assembly man Gwee Tong Hiang was booted out of the state assembly for not putting the right attire for the occasion. It may be one own freedom to dress whatsoever one likes at home or in his own office. But it is not right to dress against the rules and regulation of a company at place of work, or in school, or in any uniform unit, not even at a friend's wedding. You just have to dress for the occasion to show your respect to the host.

Here in the Johor state assembly, everyone is expected to dress in the ceremonial attire for the opening ceremony. Regretably our YB Gwee thought he had dressed well for the occasion. Yes he had dressed well, but not right for the ceremony. Thus he had to be sent off. How could you expect the Speaker Datuk Mohd Ali Hassan to respect YB Gwee when Gwee had not shown respect to the YAB Sultan of Johor in the state assembly in refusing to dress for the occasion.

This should serve as a reminder to all YBs and Datuks, there is no racial stigma in any dress code. It is all in the heart. Since we are of Multi racial background, our dresses are designed according to our cultural heritage. There is no particular emphasis in dress designing, merely designed accroding to our multi racial setting. Let us not be too sensitive to such, but learn to love our national culture and accept our unique setting.

Hope our YB Gwee will humble himself to apologize to the YAB Sultan of Johor and also apologize to the state assembly----represented by the Speaker. I wish the YAB Sultan of Johor in His graciousness will accept such apology and try to give time for some to adjust themselves to stamp off any form of prejudices. Peace and harmony is our goal whether be at state level or national level. Malaysia Boleh!

What is the Message from SAPP action?

It came out in the open---- in most of the daily newspapers, reporting the action of SAPP leader Datuk Seri Yong Teik Lee.Datuk Yong seems to suggest a motion of no-confidence against the PM in this coming session at the Parliment. Though it sounded like an act of opposition to BN team spirit, but if we consider deeper into it, it is a demand of correcting the wrong in the past and returning to Sabah what is rightfully belonging to Sabah. Datuk Yong was reported to ask for the 20% oil royalty for Sabah and the return of Labuan to Sabah, as well as demanding action against the illegal immigrant problem in Sabah.

All that the BN government needs to do is to face the issues justly, and correcting the wrong of the past. It has nothing to do with losing the two-third majority, nor has it anything to do with the demand for our PM to quit. It is more to do with the desire of our PM wanting to be a PM for all Malaysians and desiring to hear the truth.

If this is handled well, it will strengthen the coorperation and unite all the component parties in BN. What is needed is to come to the round table and work it out. Just give a direct call to Datuk Yong and request him to hold on about the motion. Only if BN can learn to talk things out and not demanding on UMNO's supremacy, the rakyat will benefit from a reformed BN government.

I am sure the rakyat will only make a choice of change when it is necessary. However, if possible, I am sure the rakyat would prefered a truly democratic Malaysia, with a strong opposition monitoring the actions of the ruling party.

Stand steady, not waver, but be diplomatic in resolving inside matters. The rest of you, just hold your peace, and see how our Pak Lah lead BN through this small crisis.

Watchout For Foreign Workers

Do we need so many foreign workers?
Is it true that Malaysians are fussy in job hunting?
Malaysians need to survive in this inflated market place. Our salary must be sufficient to make our ends meet.

1. Once we have the "cheap public transport" and "subsidise food and basic needs", Malaysians can survive with the pay scheme practised by most employers.

2. Only then will Malaysians take up the employment now being given to foreign workers.

3. We need to imrpove our vocational training program, customise our trade school program to suite our market demand.

4. Slowly phase out our foreign workers policy---returning them after their terms expired. Replacing them with Malaysians, arranged by Jabatan Tenaga Malaysia.

5. Have motivation seminars with employee to uplift working morale.

Remember that the number of foreign workers in the country is alarming. They can pose a very serious threat to the secuirty and peace of our society. We may reap what we saw now in years to come.

Do not give away PR or MY Card to such foreigners easily. Make our citizenship something valueable and hard to obtain, so that people respect our nation and respect our people. Drop communal politic and let us think Malaysians for a better Malaysia. God bless Malaysia.

Let Us Talk on Petrol $$$$

The government should have the rakyat in the heart in all policy implementation. Let us look at the Petrol Dollars again.

1. We are producing oil. We have fat revenue from Oil-----kurnia Tuhan bagi rakyat Malaysia. It is not meant for any individual or families. It is for rakyat Malaysia. Unless we manage it well it will become a curse.
Corruption will rot away Malaysia, bring about social unrest, causing economic collapse, and heavenly inflicted disasters.

2. If we are not going to subsidise our petrol, than subsidise our basic needs: rice, sugar, water supply, electricity, tol free highway, cheap public transport, cheap building material for cheap houses.

3. Bearing in mind the action of removing fuel subsidy can have a direct effect on our national car industry. Set a goal, let the streets of Malaysia be filled with Malaysian cars, selling cheap because of lesser taxation, and stop AP for imported cars.
Fuel prices has a direct effect on car industries. Slow implementation will save lots of loses for those in the industries.Make it know that Malaysia is all out to support our national car industries.

4. Malaysians driving Malaysia made cars should enjoy such pride and privilege of national achievement.Cheap but quality Malaysian cars! Once we have make it a name in Malaysia, our Malaysian cars will fetch better prices in ASEAN nations and worldwide.

5. Education is the backbone of national development and survival. We should promote our usage of Bahasa Malaysia in local transaction, and have English as a second language for commerce and science. We should make our education available to all Malaysians, with government subsidy for Malaysian students, but collecting substantial fee from foreign students.

To make Malaysia a regional education centre, our fee must be affordable to the people around us: Thailand, Vietnam,Cambodia, China,Philippines etc.

6. Our petrol dollars must be made good used of for national building and not for individual benefit. Rural development, eviromental development, landscaping the cities, make Malaysia a green nation for healthier living. Unless we do it now or Malaysia will fall into the curse and become a dirt like some African countries.

The Talk Is On---Our Next PM

Of late people are talking about our PM Pak Lah leaving the political arena by handing over the nation's PM seat to our DPM Najib. Should our PM just leave the rakyat at this crucial moment in Malaysia? The answer is "No".

1. PM Abdullah needs to build up his reputation for historians. He must be remembered as a PM who helps the nation to get out of the mess left by his predecessor.

2. PM Abdullah must be seen as one who was soft and kind at heart but firm and stern in dealing with his political opponents. He should not quit just because there are those who demended his removal.

3. PM Abdullah has given a gleam of hope for changes in our judicial reforms and leading towards rural development and helping the nation to cope with ever increasing fuel prices etc. Why change now, casuing anxiety and unstability to the nation as well as shattering all the effort to re present BN to the rakyat?

4. In order to resolve social problem, eradicating of poverty, and uniting the multi-racial rakyat, PM Abdullah should push off communal politic from BN, preparing a counter offer what PR is offering to the rakyat. Malaysians wanted the best to stay in power. The votes talk louder than the kris. The people power must not be underestimated. Certain people is still living in his 60s but the rakyat are on air, online, and learned. No more morons or pupet in the hands of the politicians.

5. Any outrageous talkers will be removed in the next general election.

So we hope our PM will stay on for sake of Malaysia and allow Malaysia to return to stability after 308.

A Timely Gesture for Sarawak

The Straits Times also carries the news of our PM's visit to Sarawak.An additional RM1 billion for Sarawak. It is a good gesture. It should be a general practice for a government who cares for the rakyat----not just for political support. An allocation for the development of basic infrastructure in rural areas---- water piping and lighting, and also better roads.

May I suggest the BN government have a closer monitoring on the use of this allocation. Check on the prices of projects involved. Be fair in its open tender for such projects. Let every cent really goes towards those projects benefiting the general public.

It is time for the government to study how to make good use of Petrol money to improve the rural areas throughout the country. Raise the stardard of living, but not the cost of living! Implementing food subsidy, cooking oil subsidy and also public transport subsidy to the poorer community. Encourage business companies to invest and run bus services into rural area, restructure good connection of bus services between rural township. Extend electricity supplies and water supplies system into rural region.

Begin to take care of the rakyat and the rakyat will see that a caring government stays in power. Otherwise, the voting results will tell the story again.

Poverty Line of A Malaysian

I read from The Straits Times report on Page 2 dd 11/6/08 that our Malaysian poverty line is anywhere below RM1500.00 mnthly income. Is it a mistake of the report or was it the out of touch of of PM with the rakyat?

Some 30 years back a fresh university graduate is offered anywhere around RM750-RM1500.00 Today a fresh gradute is offered around RM1300-$1800.00
To make the rakyat living above poverty line, our mama and papa must be graduates with a good employer.

Otherwise, majority of our rakyat is below the poverty line.It was this wrong assumption that ALL of us are above RM1500.00 that makes our PM decided to raise the petrol prices. Some said, no, it is the look of all Malaysians---having cars and motorcycles, staying in brick houses that make us feel that we are alright. Not true. Our public transport is inconvenience, and out of reach for the poor. (Fare is high). We need the car for transport and work. We need the motor cycles to go to work.

** So the first thing is to implement a cheap and regular public transportation. Then we all will sell off our cars.

Someone has even suggested that Malaysians take up double jobs to ease the financial restrain. Sounded good. Where are the job opportunities? How about social problem when parents are busy making ends meet and children are neglected.

** So next, cut down public expenses like overseas trip, entertainment allowances, and impractical white elephant projects. Channel this extra fund to subsidise food and public transportation expenses for the poor.

Please move with the people and you will know that RM1500.00 can't even cover the highly inflated cost of living today. Many Malaysians had fallen into poverty line. The government has failed after these 50 years----instead of eradicating poverty it has pushed the rakyat into a new poverty community.

** What will the reaction be? Have a changeover of government can be an option for most rakyat. Who knows Malaysian can have a better future with a change? Life is a gamble. So it is with policy implementation.

What Is Our Priority?

Get rid of all White elephant projects, and bring back the $$$ to subsidise the ever inflated cost of living.
How we should have save up the $$$ spent on sending our man into space for a ride.
We should forget the ink purchased for the general election, it had just gone down the drain.
We should have controled the spending of our YB especially such spending in just two months. The $$$ should have been used for rice subsidy and allow the rakyat to enjoy cheaper rice.

Why safe banks when these business enterprises gone in the red, even MAS etc and allow the living rakyat suffer? How is it possible for massive profit from national resources be given to individual company when the rakyat is suffering? Is our system cares only for rich and leaving the poor to suffer?

Why pay YB when they have served their term of office while allowing hard working rakyat living in poverty? What about just pay them like other employee benefits. If not careful becoming a YB becomes a sort of business investment, life long benefit and salary.

If ever a new government is formed, Rakyat Malaysia hopes there should be a serious review in all our priority. God bless Malaysia.

It's Interesting How It Looks

This chart was sent to me lately. Can someone please varify if it is true as it is shown in the chat.

Whatever it may be, petrol price hike is "eating into the lives"of Malaysians.

Worse is yet to happen. The poor is getting poorer. Those wage earners are getting nowhere, just enough to cover their expenses.For those who are already in low wages,poverty is their share while others live luxuriously.

The rich may not feel it though, but surely their lives is in danger of robbers, extortionists, and even day light robbery at your door steps. Unless the rich shares their riches with the poor, through subsidising, surely worse is yet to come.

RM2.70 our Petrol Policy

ALL Malaysians will feel the pinch in their pockets wit the sudden hike of petrol price from RM1.92 to Rm.2.70 The small motorcyle that takes in RM4 full tank petrol began to take in $7.00 petrol at the last petrol price raise. This time it is going to take about $10.00 to fill up that small petrol tank.

Not to mention about cars and vans and also trucks and small business transportation. Who is going to pay for this extra expenses ? Surely it will come down to the consumers. Tis will mean everything is costing more from 5th.June 2008. However, salary remains the same. Thus there is this heavier burden for all rakyat Malaysia.

This is made worse off with the shortage of rice, the more expensive bread and butter, the unprofitable nasi lemak etc. Some are deciding to stop business soon. What is the point of selling at marginal profit and worse no business at all.

Hardship is coming upon all Malaysians. The government may under estimated the effect of such price hike, but surely it is going to turn many to crimes and others to poverty. Instead of eradicating poverty, many are made poorer. Such can cause a spiral effect to an unrest society.

Why allowing the prosperity of the nations to fatten the rich, and not taking the profits to reduce the burden of daily livelihood of all general population. Some said our petrol is cheaper than many other nations, that does not warrant to cause the poor to suffer if our nation can help it. Imagine those billions and millions that have been spend eastefully by some can be use to subdise our basic needs, the rakyat will be enjoying the true prosperity of Malaysia.

Hope whatever policy we may want to implement, please bear in mind the suffering of the poor rakyat, not so much as those who could afford to throw away millions. Waste not want not. Otherwise Malaysia will be punished by God and we will have to face the suffering from the wrath of nature.
