3 Day Visit to Singapore cost MYR 16,446!!!

It must be really nice to be a Malaysian Minister
In view of the allocation given that will entitles a person to be a great spender
Datuk Seri Ng Yen Yen must be very delighted to have such privilage granted here
After all, why would she even be bother?

MYR 16,446 would be an annual salary of an average income earner
But this amount has been spent in just 3 days for "working visit" to Singapore without fear
Once again, this money comes from tax payer
Of course, Datuk Seri Ng will claimed that living standards in Singapore is much greater

Lets analyze the cost structure
A return airfare will cost MYR 400 per person even if we book a day earlier
A decent hotel in Singapore cost MYR 345 per night even without offer
An executive limo cost MYR 1,150 per day together with the chauffeur

Consider MYR 1,000 allocated per day for expenditure
With the presence of 1 secretary and 1 security manager
Lets evaluate the cost to get a clearer picture
Return airfare for 3 persons (MYR 1,200) altogether

Hotel for 3 rooms @ 2 nights (MYR 2,070) as required
Executive limo for 3 days (MYR 3,450) to travel
Spending cash for 3 days (MYR 3,000) to cover
The total cost less than MYR 10,000 and the figure of MYR 16,446 is unbelievable

Datuk Seri Ng will claim she does 1st class or 5 stars as she is a high ranking officer
No doubt about it but Mr Lim Guan Eng fly on economy class and his rank is similar
Leaders must understand that those are hard earned money of the people
Working trip means WORKING TRIP, not leisure or pleasure

What is so wrong about flying on budget carriers?
What is so wrong about putting up with 3 Star instead of Raffles?
What is so wrong about having a meal in the hawker center?
What is so wrong about calling a taxi as long as its comfortable?

Respect comes when you know how to protect the people's treasure
Respect comes when you start telling the truth and not thinking the people as jokers
Respect comes when you stand up for what is right or wrong, not fear and favor
Respect comes when you keep the promises you made to your voters

Condolence to Indonesia

First, a 7.7 Ritcher scale earthquake in Mentawai Islands that triggered a Tsunami
Then, a volcano eruption out of Gunung Merapi
Its literally a double jeopardy
Causing grievous pain for those who have been through this catastrophe

Folks in Sumatra Island may need help urgently
As the Indonesian government alone may not be able to provide aid sufficiently
More help would probably require especially from the neighboring countries
To alleviate the pain and sorrows to those who had suffered severely

Many NGOs has been discussing on logistic and delivery
NGO like Red Cross has highly experience staffs in discharging their duties
They know what are the priorities
As food and medical supplies are needed immediately

Its about time nations around the world do some environmental studies
Whether these problems are caused by global warming activities
Meetings and forums without actions are waste of time and money
Get to the root of the problem so that we can avoid the next atrocities

May the victims stay strong during this trying times on losing members of family
May the people around the world help out through donation and charities
May the government of Indonesia act to solve this problem quickly
May God bless the departed soul with mercy

Tribute to Paul the Octopus

It happened so fast that none of us predicted about it
It came with a total shocked to many of us who were awaken by your dismissed
As if it was just yesterday when we were watching the World Cup with bets and bids
When you were the most important figure in this world more than just an ordinary squid

You were the icon of all psychics
Especially when you always have the right pick
Not even once did you miss
Which is why Coach Maradona of Argentina was so pissed

Many of us were hoping to get more advise and predicts
Its sad that you will no longer be doing this
As you are now been called upon by the Almighty God to leave
Looks like we can never get another accurate tip

Some people says "Super Power" will not last till eternal bliss
Much as we hate to agree, but now we have to believe
That you will never be around in the time of need
Chances are we will never find another Paul the Octopus even in ocean deep

We really do not know how to thank you indeed
For all the great tips that you have give
We will never forget all the wonderful moment while you live
Now that you are gone, may you rest in peace

Agriculture will reduce CO2, inflation and world hunger

Prior to the industry revolution
The world survived through mostly agriculture production
Back then, weather were much predictable which gave the soil better foundation
As a result, the yield of harvest gave much satisfaction

The yield of harvest were sufficient for the population
Back then, the world population were much easier to govern
Not to mention the global economy were managed with less complication
Hence, the supplies of food were hardly affected by inflation

Today, the world has changed so dramatic that many of us has lost our sense of direction
We want to get rich quick without thinking of the problems
We hardly care for what will happen to our planet in view of the growing devastation
Let alone with world hunger whom many of us view as "unfortunate situation"

Agriculture can bring CO2, inflation and world hunger into reduction
UN will have to initiate this movement, as in REAL MOVEMENT, not just forum
If 80% of UN members can come to a consensus and cooperation
It will be the beginning with a series of good solutions

When we develop cultivation
We are encouraging plantation
Planting trees (any form) will ultimately reduce carbon emission
When carbon emission are reduce, it will improve our weather systems

Weather system will determine the number of harvest in a given duration
If the productivity of agriculture increases, it will ultimately reduce price acceleration
Bringing greater supply of food and giving the poor a chance of "enjoyment"
Many of us has forgotten agriculture, yet its the most important

NOT AGAIN Indonesia!!!

Here we go again, haze is back in town for a "visit"
Just like an old buddy sending a "Christmas gift"
Except it comes without anyone notice
Causing temperatures to rise and discharge heat

The haze originated from Indonesia has cross the Straits of Malacca with hard hit
Causing many people in Malaysia to feel sick
Makes old people and children to feel like vomit
Jamming up hospitals with a long list

This episode has not stop its repeats
All the meetings and forums held each time has becoming like sound of music
Promises and pledges were made but nothing has been done to solve it
In the end, Indonesian government said Malaysian companies were the culprit

If that's the case, then stern action must be taken to bring these companies to justice
If they have violated the law, then revoke their business license and permits
Indonesia government must understand this
That nobody is ever going to be please

Carbon emission must be brought down or better still get rid
Time is running out as clock continues to ticks
The agenda in meetings and forums must be implement quick
Otherwise more problems will continue and soon we will run out of exits

Straight or "stray," keep your identification away

Lately, there has been on going issues in the US Military about open gays
While President Obama is trying to "get rid" of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy today
Somehow this may not go down well with many Americans who does not feel this way
As most Americans are yet to accept gays in the military base

Sexual orientation are personal matters and ought to remain in the confidential tray
People don't have to tell everyone that they are straight
Nor they don't have to tell everyone that they are "stray"
They should keep their identification away

Military base are highly restricted place
It regards to national defense with loyalty faith
Its no place for people to joke or play
Hence, total discipline are require without the second say

"Don't ask, don't tell" policy should stay
Private matters should not be put to display
Sexual preference should be kept in bay
As every military personnel must always feel comfortable with their work everyday

Warisan Merdeka Tower??? What a BAD IDEA!!!

A proposal has been made to build Warisan Merdeka Tower
It will be a 100 storey skyscraper located in city center
An estimation of M$ 5 Billion be spent to materialize this honor
Without taking into consideration of possible inflation that may rises further

M$ 5 Billion is an enormous sum of money that we may need to seriously consider
Our economy may be resilient but global threats that may affect our economy are all over
This sum of such magnitude can be use to improve health care and education for the better
It can also be use to improve our public securities and infrastructure

Not that we have forgotten our Merdeka spirit altogether
However we should use our resources for bread and butter
We can always build this tower in another 10 years
When we have sufficient reserve that we don't have to worry about the next hour

For now, the government must understand the nation's priority before situation turn sour
Spending money without possessing it is just like playing with fire
Lets hope our PM will not give in just to oblige some moron past leaders
PM must understand that our nation will be at stake if M$ 5 Billion turns into vapor

This is M$ 5 Billion of HARD EARNED MONEY from tax payers
Where these monies are suppose to help the hardcore poor
Not to enrich a handful of developers and contractors
Hence, building Warisan Merdeka Tower is surely a bad idea

A good move by PM Najib Tun Razak

The budget 2011 has finally seen
Many new plans have cropped up like beans
Some has received applause from the public as a win
Others continue to received poor feedback that were mean

There are obviously pros and cons in everything
One thing that catches the eye would be tax exemption for vehicles with hybrid engineering
As this is one of the effort that he has taken on going green
A move which many of us view as "the right link"

Not only it would help the people from paying
It will also help the environment to be clean
As going green would mean the amount of carbon emission dropping
The air that flows would be good for breathing

This move certainly deserve praising
For once, he really knows how to think
Lets hope that this good plan will not sink
Lets hope that this good plan will pass through in Parliament without anyone opposing


"Going green will keeps us clean, being clean will makes us think"

Chile's miners rescued (An inspiring story)

Throughout history, mankind has proven themselves to be problem solver
As hard as it may seem, it can be done if one did not say "It's over"
Apollo 13 almost lost in space but returned to earth due to the strong hope of Jim Lovell
While Gene Kranz was fighting really hard in Mission Control Center

Another miracle incident was Uruguayan Flight 571 that killed almost all its passengers
It was feature in the story of "The Andes Survivor"
On how 16 survivors kept alive through cannibalism and turning snow into water
For months they had to stick their heads up under severed weather

Same goes to the stories of 33 Chilean miners
Who were trap over 2000ft under
They managed to survived for months with poor ventilator
Literally living in the dark with insufficient food and power

Despite living in the "dark and concrete" jungle
They kept their hopes high with prayers
They were united and work their problems together
They never gave up despite feeling being trap "forever"

The comments people made about this incident were unbelievable
Some were very motivational
Others were downright terrible
At least the Chilean government did not give up their own people

Many said rescue effort was tough as it was almost invisible
Some even said about preparing for the miner's funeral
Others said that was possible
What we can see today was a TOTAL MIRACLE!!!

Problems in life are inevitable
It really depends on how each person handle
Most importantly is to stay focus and avoid extra troubles
Those who stay focus, stay strong and believe long enough will be invincible


"Those who can see the invisible can do the impossible"

Kelantan palace revoke Ibrahim Ali's Datukship

Datukship is a highly distinguish honor granted to individuals for their great deeds
Especially for those who have contributed to the society with wonderful bliss
The recipient must maintain a healthy record at all time without miss
Otherwise, their honor will be strip

Datuk Ibrahim Ali has just lost his State of Kelantan Datukship
Perhaps of all the things he has done over the past 2 years in politics
He even has the guts to question on why he was remove from the list
Obviously he did not use his brain to think, ears to listen and eyes to see

This man is exceptionally "thick skin" just like asking something for free
He even came out openly to claim that he is still a "Datuk" legally
As both of his Datukship from State of Selangor and Malacca are yet to freeze
Perhaps both the Selangor Sultan and Malacca Governor should consider doing it

After all, its high time that Datukship must be limit for those who are distinguished
Or people who have serve the society and proven their ability to lead
Datukship must not be available "For Sale" like any other commodities
Certainly NOT FOR MONKEYS who just climb on the seat and started the heat

Datuk Ibrahim Ali has DID IT AGAIN!!!

A minute of silence was observed for the passing of Datuk Edmund Chong of Batu Sapi
It's a sign of respect for the deceased who have served the country
Any SANE normal human being will adhere to this request immediately
In view that it's the last time to honor a person who has left for eternity

Datuk Ibrahim Ali as sick and miserable as he can be
Does not adhere to this policy
He continue to chat on his cell phone as if he does not hear or see
His misdemeanor has anger some of the legislator from different parties

We may wonder how a man like Datuk Ibrahim Ali can become an MP
In view of such sickening behavior that he possessed so profoundly
Behaving like thugs and yet never repent for his mistake he caused so grievously
An MP who is shameless and disgrace to his own community

The General Election is closing in eminently
Its about time that voters to vote him out permanently
For this creature will ruin our nation's harmony
That's the last thing we need from this idiotic monkey

Polar Bears & Climate Change

Up in the Artic, that's the home of Polar Bears
Like any Mammals, they learn to share
Cubs are the ones that mother bear will care
Huge in size and covered with thick fur that makes them extremely fair

Polar Bears lives mostly in Canada as huge ice caps are there
They are extremely strong and can swim just about everywhere
Because they are fair, hence their visibility are almost rare
Making their presence unpredictable when we comes in contact

Polar Bears are predators that would not be intimidated or scared
With their look that's extremely glare
They kept themselves busy and always prepare
To ensure every opportunity are being grab

Polar Bears love quiet environment with clean air
They can be very entertaining to their guest
Especially when they play in pairs
And that's how they manage to attracts

Climate started to change and lately has turned really bad
That's making Polar Bears upset
With ice caps experiencing wear and tear
The places for Polar Bears to live are getting less

The problem of global warming must be address
Not only the G8 but every nation that contributed to this mess
Its time we treat mother nature with respect
Or we may not survive the next catastrophe test


"Mother nature can meet our needs, NOT OUR GREEDS"
