Happy retirement Datuk Seri Samy Wellu!!!

When the news first breaks, many Malaysians thought that medias were just playing games
As Malaysians has heard of this piece of news, time and again
Datuk Seri Samy Wellu decided to quit after he found a successor who is "well trained"
As he often says, he got problem finding a successor as many members were lame

Since this time is for real, MIC is going to miss all that super action by this change
Being an MIC President for 3 decades, he made MIC as superior as Mc Donald's chain
As he often says, MIC is relevant to Indian community as Indians enjoyed economic gains
MIC members must feel really sad to see the departure of such a "great saint"

Malaysians will also miss Datuk Seri very much as he always kept us entertained
Opposition has less questions in Parliament as less projects are flush into drain
UEM workers and management can live their lives with much less of pain
As they will no longer be constantly blame

The poor folks in Sg Siput will no longer receive all the contributions of rice and grains
As Datuk Seri loves his people that he will give so much for charities without complaint
Perhaps its time Perak Government to rename a street in Sg Siput under Datuk Seri's name
Just like how Penang Government honor Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu for his outstanding fame

Datuk Seri has become part of Malaysian history with all his "demeanor brains"
He gave the idea of lifting a car off Penang bridge with helicopter from emergency lanes
Never mind about the cost as traffic jams will drives everyone insane
The brainchild idea of lifting car with helicopter was very extraordinary and not the same

Now that he is gone for good, Malaysians will cry like rain
May he will enjoy his vacation with his family and friends on a private plane
At least that will give him a "peace of mind" without vain
May he has a peaceful retirement, unlike others retired minister who have much to "explain"

The rise of RON 95 and the effect

On December 4, 2010, the price of RON 95 has increased
It came without any warning and Malaysians were caught by surprise by this hit
In fact, many people came to know about it via friend's tweets
Thanks to technology, this news came to Malaysians without miss

An opposition MP even said that there were no discussion in Parliament over this
In fact, the move was done very quietly without much leak
This matter has major impact for the public
Hence the government should not keep this piece of information under "discreet"

The government said in the past that RON 97 will not be subsidize even a bit
Many Malaysian hailed this idea that seem to be fit
If the government wants to raise the price, then raise RON 97 that won't trigger the heat
At least, Malaysians will not be burden by this increase that comes in too quick

Now, everything will become expensive
Trucking charges will increase as truckers needs to keep their business profit
Once trucking charges are up, the domino effects will tag with
Inflation will accelerate at a higher rate and soon people will suffer from it

Rumors has it that there will be another increase before Chinese New Year reach
If this happens, people will be very pissed
Lets hope PM Najib Razak will listen to the people's wish
Otherwise, the coming General Election will not be ease

Malaysians are given a chance, lets make the best out of it

Datuk Seri Hishammudin Tun Hussien has been considerate and kind
By giving out discount on traffic citations although many says he is out of his mind
Datuk Seri Home Minister understands the hardship many Malaysians face during this time
That is why he is nice enough to give Malaysians another chance to pay a cheaper fine

Giving discount does not mean he is dumb or blind
He could easily play by the rule and drag all the offenders to queue on line
If they refuse to pay, they will be throw in jail just like those who commit other crimes
By then, Malaysians will probably say that he is the monster at his prime

Malaysians should treasure this opportunity given as in other country is probably hard to find
We should take this chance as lesson and put our bad driving habit behind
That's the only way our driving reputation can shine
That's the only way our accident rate will stop to climb

What comes around, GOES AROUND!!!

What has gone wrong to our society?
Why are people so stingy in donating to charity despite making good money?
How would chipping a small percentage of what they earned will ruin them financially?
When would they ever realize that being rich may not last permanently?

It seems like many of the younger affluent society are becoming selfish and greedy
They give plenty of excuses that comes in handy
Such as fake NGOs who are out to rip them by using their fake ID
Yet, their stand remains despite NGOs proven beyond reasonable doubt on the validity

They have all the money to spend on condos and Semi-Ds
They have all the money to spend on convertibles and SUVs
They have all the money to spend on Rolex and LVs
Yet, they have no money to give for those who are suffering so severely

There are 2 different forms of charities
Donating money or sparing time for activities
Those who are not doing well financially will usually help out in the form of "energy"
Yet, most of these people who help out in the form of "energy" did it so wilingly

Money CHANGED people generally
That's a fact that CANNOT BE DISPUTE as it happens so frequently
These "up and coming" society thinks they are ALMIGHTY
That they can be RICH FOREVER if they continue to be stingy

"What comes around goes around" as we often hear from many
Lets hope more (especially younger affluent society) will realize not everyone are lucky
They may not suffer financially but what if they are diagnose with illness such as bad kidney
They will be begging hard to God and everybody

Doing some charity to society will make a person happy
All these good deeds will be taken into account by God eventually
Judgement day will come, by then it will be too late for a change of "mentality"
After all, every single religion adhere to generosity

Tribute to Tun Dato Utama Dr Lim Chong Eu

A gentleman who was down to earth and humble
A gentleman who cares so much for his people
A gentleman who take business in deep manner
A gentleman who displayed leadership by example

This gentleman was Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu who is no longer here
He was a great leader who made the best for Penang as we often hear
Indeed a fact that he made Penang what it is today with all his sweat and tears
Despite all the challenges that comes and caused serious fears

He made Penang rich by bringing in serious investors
He made Penang popular through tourism by cleaning beaches and bringing hoteliers
He made the people's life convenient by building a long bridge for commuters
He made the symbol and pride of Penang by building Komtar Tower

Despite all the wonderful things he has done, yet he said "I m just a worker"
How Malaysians would wish to have more leaders like this who was responsible
Malaysians may not find such a leader in our near future
As such, we hope our present leaders can learn from this "late master"

We would like to thank CM Lim Guan Eng for giving Tun Dr Lim a great honor
By naming an expressway after this wonderful "father"
As a way for Tun Dr Lim to be remember
For all the superb magics he has done for Penang over these years

We can talk about what Tun Dr Lim has done but it will only remain "talk" among peers
We need to continue his fight so that all his hardwork will not ended up as toilet paper
May we strive harder and make him proud that his countrymen are top achievers
May God bless his soul for all the wonderful things he has done to make people's life better

Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu, rest in peace SIR!!!

Parliament House leak again??? WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT!!!

Once again, another national embarrassment
That there was another leak in the Parliament
This time Datuk Seri Nazri Abdul Aziz said the building is old and has "old" system
Whereby it was not suppose to be aircond, hence they need to make adjustments

Subsequently he "refer" this problem to PWD (Public Works Department)
He would expect them to make a statement
We can probably expect PWD to say the downpour was way beyond imagination
That no amount of engineering and maintenance can prevent this situation

The Empire Building of New York was built during the time of Great Depression
That building still standing today without the Mayor saying that the building has problems
Since 9/11, the building has become the symbol and pride of Americans
Mind you, they are also constantly expose to severe weather conditions

Coming back to Kuala Lumpur, our parliament building was build after independence
It was hardly 50 years since the building was officially open
Now we have complaints after complaints on a regular basis about this monument
Lets hope Datuk Seri Minister will work this equation

Its time to do away with finger pointing as it's not part of the solution
By blaming others, it will only make himself look bad as if he is a hopeless person
Blaming others will also make them upset and he will get less cooperation
Its time to put our national symbol and pride back into action

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

The last Thursday of November will be here shortly
Its time to do some groceries
The most important is to get a fresh turkey
As that is the most important menu for this party

We can make some chicken casserole to add into the variety
Not to mention the great stuffing that is delicious and tasty
Of course, who can forgot mashed potato with gravy
Or baked potato with bacon and sour cream as part of the culinary

The meal does not end without pumpkin pie as it is also consider part of the specialty
Thanksgiving is a time to be with family
The time where we invite our neighbors and buddies
To enhance ties that keeps our solidarity

A time to start planning for a new journey
A time to start looking for opportunity
A time to forget our past misery
A time to lay our foundations to the road of glory

FIREARMS, to use or not to use???

The recent fatal shootings of a kid in Shah Alam, PDRM has been blamed for negligence
The Police has said that it's for self defense during their course of actions
However, not too many people buy that reason
Meanwhile many people has make a big issue against the Police especially some politicians

We must also understand that some criminal suspects are very hard to apprehend
They are good in running and hiding so much so it complicates the Police's mission
Hence, the Police will try to bring them in when they face them during confrontations
Of course, the fatal shooting will remain as the big question

We are not living in the era of Bonnie & Clyde during the period of Great Depression
Where criminals and Police used Tommy Machine Guns to confront in the style of execution
In the modern society, every single bullet that deploy from the barrel requires explanations
Looks like the Police has to explain way beyond reasonable doubt over this incident

To ask the Police not to carry firearm is unfair as they are expose to threats like terrorism
Yet, we do not condone this "Trigger Happy" intimidations
So, where do we strike the balance?
Perhaps firearm manufacturer can come out with a better solution

The barrel of firearm can be equip with a camera lens as a recording mechanism
Once the firearm is grip, the recording will automatically begins with voice system
The recording will go straight to the Police Department
That way, no Police officer can do any manipulations

The Police department can have both visual and conversations
This technology is possible as the Israelist (if correct) has already developed such weapon
The weapon can fire from a 90 degree angle with lens and monitor for observation
This will eliminate all the questions and arguments

In retrospect, this move will take sometime before it ever happen
As the cost of purchasing such weapon can be quite a burden
Especially when our Prime Minister is trying to bring deficit into reduction
Such weapon will eat up the budget of government

Meanwhile, the Police must use firearm with serious caution
Any officer who has pull out the gun (even if they don't shoot) will be subject to interrogations
As firearm must not fall into the hands of those who are highly emotion
Otherwise, the Police will develop a "trigger happy" reputation

PKR is trying hard despite challenges

Many parties in Malaysia adhere to the voting system via delegates
When it comes to selecting the top party leadership's place
The system stated that 1 delegate will represent X number of members as their head
That 1 delegate may not vote according to the desire of member's mandate

Hence such system in the eyes of modern democracy is consider outdate
PKR practices the policy of 1 member, 1 vote to decide on the leadership's fate
Such system would be much accurate
In determining the most qualified leaders to run a party or even a nation at a better rate

The 1 member, 1 vote will limit the practice of corruption into slower pace
As its a lot harder for every single members to be "purchase"
It will make Malaysia's reputation to improve and foreigners will have more faith
In addition, it will also make Malaysia looks great

No doubt, PKR has encounter a number of problems as of late
Perhaps some people want to rush to the top without much wait
They have been so used to the old way and waiting is something they hate
Due to dissatisfaction, they walked away and criticize that PKR's democracy is fake

Whether is real or fake, we need to asked those members who have voted instead
They will be able to tell you if they were given a chance to vote or has been played
Some people said that everything looks good on paper just like a beautiful cake
However, the cake has lousy taste

At least PKR is trying very hard to improve their skills for a nice bake
Eventhough the problems are putting the party at stake
In order to solve this equation, it requires patience as more time will be take
Lets hope such democracy will not fade

Patriotism comes in many form

Malaysia Defense Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has cooked up a storm
Citing lack of patriotism as the reason why Non Malays did not join the military is wrong
The Defense Minister must understand that patriotism comes in many form
As we can see from the day this nation gained her independence that has been far so long

We have a Non Malay badminton player that crushed our rivals until they mourn
We have a Non Malay squash player that has been riding high and still moving on
We have 2 Non Malay Mt Everest climbers with the strength of King Kong
We have a Non Malay famous actress that acted with James Bond

We have a Non Malay famous shoe designer who now have became a global icon
We have many Non Malay professionals working abroad but they are never long gone
These are the people who stick their heads up so that Malaysia can be strong
These are the same people who were Malaysian born

Reason to this problem is probably a paycheck that cannot even get them a Dom Perignon
Perhaps its time for Defense Ministry to offer better paycheck for those who can perform
Of course, annual bonuses can also come along
This will make them feel appreciated that military is where they belong

If you ask a Non Malay abroad, they will say Malaysia is where they are from
They will still go on line to read The Star, NST and etc even if they are in Hong Kong
They love Malaysia even if they disagree with some government policies or beyond
Their patriotism has proven to be nice and warm

Ban on plastic bags in Penang

Penang state government has announced the ban of plastic bags
Effective next year so that the environment can be protect
This move is going towards the development track
In order to reduce the amount of trash

This move will make some people really sad
Plastic manufacturer's business will be badly crash
More so when the economy in general is already bad
What are they going to do with all the resin that sat on their racks?

Meanwhile, many people has already question this and that
Some question the government about "alternative bags" that can be use to pack
Some ladies even question on how their "monthly blues" can be wrap
Others wonder whether its necessary for this ruling to be set

Every decision will always has an impact
Perhaps inconvenience would be the one that got many people upset
They must understand that "An Inconvenient Truth" would be even hard to accept
Hence this move is positive in retrospect

Some people are naturally born to be THICK SKIN!!!

This is by far the most "entertaining news" in the whole decade, may be even century
Tun Lim Keng Yaik advised Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon to step down graciously
Citing that Tan Sri Koh should not overstayed his welcome as president of the party
That statement by Tun Lim is almost like Deja Vu to the vast majority

Perhaps Tun Lim is getting too old and has breakdown in memory
As he was the longest serving president in the Gerakan history
Who was reluctant to step down despite numerous challenges during his presidency
And despite the fact that his approval rating has deteriorated so drastically

Tan Sri Koh was indeed very unlucky
He took over as Gerakan president just slightly before the political tsunami
He was not even given enough time to perform his duty
More so, with such challenging political scenario that kept hitting him under the belly

Tun Lim must understand the challenges Tan Sri Koh faced in reality
Leave this man alone and stop complaining like some of the old ladies
After all, complaining makes him look so much like a sore loser and sissy
If he still have the guts, he should stand against PAS, PKR or DAP

Tun Lim must learn how to be a gentleman with the right integrity
He has already quit as an advisor so he should just stop making comments completely
He should not hit hard on his own party comrades publicly
After all, all these years Tan Sri Koh has proved his loyalty

Tun Lim should go home and spend time with his family
Family members are our greatest buddies
They will always makes us happy
Lets hope Tun Lim will enjoy his life to the fullest quality
