Earthquake & Tsunami in Japan

In recent years, the world has seen more catastrophe just about every region
From floods, earthquakes to volcano eruptions
Perhaps it was due to dramatic climate changes in our weather systems
So much so it's getting harder to get an accurate weather predictions

The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan happened so sudden
The magnitude of atrocities were way beyond imaginations
Causing massive devastation
Leaving many Japanese in fear and inconvenience

To make matters worse, there were the aftermath continuation
Triggering more problems which were uncertain
There were also fear of nuclear plant's explosion
That may cause more serious problems

Fortunately, the Japanese were united during this moment
They put their interest aside for the sake of the nation
They worked the problems with little argument
At least that would ease the entire situation

Some commented that it's the Karma from their World War 2 aggression
That all these were God's punishment
And the Japanese deserved such destruction
For many good reasons

Only those who were irresponsible would made such statement
The ones who sinned were the older generations
The younger generations has done nothing wrong and were innocent
Hence they does not deserve such treatment

This is no time for hatred and sarcasm
Instead this is the time where the entire world must come to unification
To provide Japan with all the necessary assistance
So that they can get out of this suffocation

If Japan collapse, nobody will benefit from her consequence
There will be no more investments
There will be no more job creation
There will be no more "money making satisfactions"

Hollywood celebrities must not be exempted from the law

Many Hollywood celebrities are becoming bad role models for younger generations
Started with all the problems with Paris Hilton
Now more on Lindsay Lohan
Being caught for theft in the shopping department

Prior to that, she was charged for driving under intoxication
After couple of rehabs, it does not seem like she has learn her lesson
Perhaps they think that coming into limelight will make will give them "free advertisement"
Little did they know that they were there for the wrong reasons

The father of Lindsay, Micheal Lohan has came out to make a statement
Saying that his daughter is not a criminal, but her act is just an addiction
That statement he made showed just how irresponsible and arrogant
So if her daughter were to murder someone, can he claim that its an act of depression?

Some people are just plain ignorant
If he don't know how to educate his daughter, then he better keep her in his mansion
Otherwise, someone will take on her with severe punishment
He should instead blame himself for failing to educate his children

Regardless whether they are billionaires of major corporations
Regardless whether they are popular celebrities or sportsman
Regardless whether they are famous politicians
Everyone are subject to the law, NO EXCEPTION!!!

Term Limit for Prime Minister of Malaysia

Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohammed suggested a term limit for Prime Ministership
The Former Prime Minister said an 8 year term limit
To ensure the country get the best indeed
Its a great suggestion especially coming from someone who practiced the opposite

An old saying, "Politicians are like baby diapers, you just have to keep changing it"
An 8 year term limit will ensure everyone gets the opportunity "to sit"
As we know, Tun Dr. Mahathir's son is also a deputy minister who is capable and fit
Now it makes us wonder why he say this (Term Limit)

Term limit will show the world of good democracy instead of just the preach
Malaysia should have done that long ago while some Western nations took the lead
Nevertheless, it's not too late when we can start doing it as that's what the nation need
After all, all Malaysians will get the good benefits

Term limit will eliminate politicians with super greed
Term limit will eliminate politicians who never want to hand over their seat
Term limit will eliminate politicians who are medically sick
Term limit will eliminate politicians with plenty of baggage that they carry with

The release of "Kuo Ming" Lantern

The Chinese believes that "Kuo Ming" Lantern will send their wishes to heaven
By writing all their wishes on the lantern
The higher they go, the better their chances of achievement
During Chinese New Year, it suppose to be the good time in catching the "momentum"

It's by far the most inconsiderate action
Almost like waiting for disaster to happen
It could kill hundreds if not thousands
In the shortest moment

Such action post serious threats not only for flight passenger but general population
As the "Kuo Ming" lantern can ascend past 10,000ft without a problem
Flying all over without proper direction
Not to mention the fire that is still burning with gas and helium

If the "Kuo Ming" lantern is being suck into a jet engine
There will be a mid air explosion
The debris of aircraft will fall from the skies like nuclear weapon
With the weight of debris plus gravity, we can expect mass destruction

The law must be put into full enforcement
Strict checks must be done by the customs
The importer & suppliers must be put to imprisonment
The buyers must be issue with hefty fines without giving the second consideration

Chinese New Year

It's the most important day of the year
It's the day that marks the new beginning with happiness and cheers
It's the day where Chinese folks get together with their family members
It's the New Year in the Chinese calendar

The eve of New Year is where family members get together
For an authentic and wonderful dinner
Talk about the old times that has long disappeared
Making jokes while having beers

As it gets to midnight, families would prepare for prayers
Making wishes to God of Fortune for business to prosper
Giving "Ang Bao" to children so that they will grow up to be smarter
Lighting up fireworks to chase the "evil spirit" that instill fears

The New Year Day would make everyone happier
Friends and family visiting one another
Enhance relationships so that everyone gets closer
Giving hope and offer wisdom for their faith to grow stronger

Lion dance performance make family atmosphere much merrier
The sound of drums and action are suppose to make the family luckier
Making the whole house felt a lot warmer
Fill with nothing but joy and laughters

Chinese New Year is about "getting lucky" which is quite true for many gamblers
Many take the opportunity to have friendly gambling session with their peers
Usually the winner will treat everyone with a nice meal
As a symbol of diplomacy that there are no losers

On the predawn of the 9th day, there will be prayers for God of Emperor
The God of Emperor is consider the savior
Traditionally celebrated by only Fu Kien but now getting popular
Many offer prayers to be healthier and wealthier

On the 15th day, it will be the final day before the celebration is over
Young couples will toss apples and oranges into river
Hoping to find their lifetime partner
It's another version of "Valentine Day" for the youngster


For those who are celebrating, here is wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Responsibility of an elected State Representative

An elected State Representative has serious duties for his people
They has been given the trust to be the "problem solver"
Any failure from his part would be totally unacceptable
It's consider breach of trust when he has sworn upon oath to be good legislator

Defection to another political party/coalition is already consider improper
Not attending meetings would be downright irresponsible
Denying his wrongdoings would be a straight liar
Such legislator should be suspended forever

An elected State Representative must be a good listener
He must understand the problem his constituency face on a daily manner
He must organize meetings to meet his fellow voters
Regardless if they are or not his supporters

When an elected State Representative has taken his oath as lawmaker
He would automatically becomes a public servant who serves everyone without barrier
Only that way, he can emerge stronger
Only then, he will be respected and be re-elected in the future

Those who gone into hiding and citing poor health would not make things better
If poor health is what he has claimed, then he is not fit to be a leader
He should instead resign and make way for others
Otherwise, it would be deemed as selfish and an advantage taker

Trojan Horse

A story about how the city of Troy fell to the hands of their enemies
After 10 years of siege by the Greeks, they were unable to penetrate the city
Until the idea of "internal invasion" that cropped up which may succeed potentially
By sending a group of hidden army

The Greeks selected a group of highly skilled warriors, a group of 30
The Greek left as if they retreated while leaving the Trojan Horse as a troophy
The people of Troy were stupid to think that they have achieved a sound victory
Little did they know about the plot that would become deadly

These hidden warriors exited the Trojan Horse and started attacking Troy internally
It caused major chaos so much so that the people has lost their focus entirely
As continuing "internal fighting" was the catalyst of atrocities
As the city of Troy gets weaker, the Greek sent their army to invade Troy completely

Today, some leaders are still adhering to this theory
Using underarm tactics to gain their power politically
Appointing high ranking government officer whom they can work closely
To bring down an elected and legitimate government that has gained her popularity

There are many ways to address this unorthodox actions as we often hear and see
Defection, coup, treason and the list goes on indefinitely
Its almost like a daylight robbery
Such actions are punishable by death in some countries

Open Verdict

Open verdict is another term for "unsolved mystery"
A case without an answer even to the slightest possibility
Where evidence tabled are not relevant or does not have the authenticity
And the prosecutor could not prove beyond a reasonable degree

Any cases related to death must be given strict priority
No matter how complicated it may be
Very rare cases related to death being conclude as "open verdict" by the judiciary
Investigations could have taken years before the case is finalize completely

Death cases are resulted by homicide, suicide, accident or natural death as many see
Unless if the victim has been abducted or murdered by alien as we often watch in movie
Open verdict cannot simply be apply bluntly
Especially when the investigation has been done too discreetly and quickly

Homicide does not have STATUE OF LIMITATION in most countries
Cases will be table again wherever fresh evidence crops up suddenly
The death soul will continue to haunt the perpetrators permanently
The perpetrators will never live their life peacefully

Congratulations to MALAYSIA!!!

Congratulations to my fellow Malaysians
Our nation has took home the AFF Suzuki Cup now that we are the champion
It's the best gift God has gave our nation
So much so Dato' Sri PM has declared Friday as a day off for celebrations

Our celebration would also coincide with New Year's party and entertainment
Hence a long weekend fill with nothing but amusement
At the first round in Kuala Lumpur, Indonesian were blaming us for being a nuisance
That we were using laser beams that caused their players serious distractions

When we won the second round in Jakarta, it was all about our players competence
The due credit was also given by many Indonesians
Malaysians often missed the days of Moktar and Soh when we had bad performance
In the 1970s, we were once a popular team in the Asia region

Now that our "Tigers" has rolled out the momentum
We must keep on striving harder for greater challenge
We must also pick our players base on their ability and qualifications
We will get the best cream of the crop if we are strict with our selections

Although its a little impossible to win World Cup title like Latinos and Europeans
As they have people like Puyol and Beckham
Nevertheless, if we can qualify ourselves into World Cup tournament
We have achieve a milestone of achievement

Malaysians are smart and full of talent
We have showed to the world how great our countrymen
From being the renowned shoe designer to Hollywood in action
All the way to the most successful airline in the history of aviation

Yesterday's football finals has also showed the unity of our fellow citizen
Regardless of everyone's background, we have something in common
To cheer for our team to beat our opponent
Looks like it's a good recipe for unification


"Kalau kita percaya, kita akan berjaya"

New Year Resolution

As New Year approaches, many of us are feeling the excitement
Many of us are probably started making New Year's resolutions
Hoping that we can make a great achievement
That will give us utmost satisfactions

Some plans to attend weight management
Others plans to take a nice vacation
Students plans to excel in their education
Those who are working are hoping to get a promotion

However, New Year resolution often fade away before it gets into full momentum
Normally it started to fade before it reaches Spring season
Overtime many of us forgot our "original destination"
Perhaps we got tired in view that the "destination" is still far away before it can happen

Let us understand that achievements takes ample amount of patience
Resolution must be make in an "achievable portion"
We do not need to make annual resolution as many mentioned
However, we can make quarterly resolution that sounds more realistic to implement

Throughout the year, there will be obstacles that are beyond our predictions
The longer the period of our resolution, the greater the challenge
Shorter resolution would be better as it would be easy to handle with lesser problem
Hence, it would speed up our accomplishments


Happy New Year and may all the resolutions you made becomes certain!!!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!

Snow are falling,
Bells are jingling,
Choirs are singing,
To mark the birth of the King

People are celebrating,
Some are partying,
Others are barbecuing,
To mark the year that comes to an ending

Resolutions are in making,
Good times are coming,
Hoping for good blessings,
Pray for a great beginning

Be responsible if you are drinking,
If you ever get drunk, let someone else do the driving,
Running into police while you are drunk would be one unpleasant thing,
Spending a couple of nights behind bars will make your guts shrink

Have a good time in whatever you are doing,
Remember to make this holiday season with deep and profound meaning,
Visit your family and friends as part of your wonderful greetings,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, may you achieve all your hopes and dreams

Cameron Highland Bus Tragedy

Looks like 2010 may not be as good of the year for the Ministry of Transport
Having to put up with so many problems although not all of them are entirely their fault
Series of bus accidents and deaths are now haunting their boss
So much so he is fear to answer another phone call

2010 was about to end and many thought that there shall be no more bad reports
Then came the Cameron Highland bus tragedy that got everyone back on talk
Its by far the worst tragedy that took place with the numbers of death reaching the top
Its sad that despite previous lessons, Ministry of Transport are yet to be taught

Now the problem has been highlighted, everyone will try to blame each other on the cause
JPJ would blame Puspakom for not doing a proper job
Puspakom will blame the bus company for hiring inexperience drivers that easily be bought
Bus company will blame JKR for not maintaining the roads with cracks and rocks

The list goes on until the Ministry of Transport who have to settle it without any applause
Whatever it is, all relevant authorities must address this problem even if the issue has cool off
That's the only way road deaths can be reduce if not halt
Instead of blaming each other, it would be better to work the problem together till it stops

Our condolence goes out to the victim's family members who perished on the spot
May they will be strong during this period of sobbed
Ministry of Transport must work this problem fast to release the deadlock
Before another accident happens that put them in a situation that are odd
