Go straight, take the bend and u-turn

The worse, oh sorry, the works minister announced that toll charges for five highways will be increased 1 March. That was just yesterday, 26 Feb and today, 27 Feb, just exactly a day after, the kabinet decided to reverse the decision, allowing the increase to take place only end of the year.

Do we have to say more? What's next?

The clarion call

In a few days from now, it will be exactly a year since the last general elections following which monkeys were elected to hold office to fight for our welfare, lives and future of this country. Well, needless to say, a clarion call has been sounded way before the anniversary and all the parties involved, whether ruling, opposition or (defector)independent ought to know what they face if things get out hand.

The following letter appeared as a full page advert in The Star on 26 Feb, taken out by Anas Zubedy. Anas helms Zubedy (M) Sdn Bhd, a company that focuses on providing consultancy services and training programs covering areas such as change management, leadership, skill-building, and many others. Anas is very concerned with the political crapola that's been ongoing close to one year on now.

The source of the letter can be found here, (from Anas Zubedy's blog). Read the letter, then feel free to spread the word around, if you feel the same way as Anas and yours truly do,,,


Dear Malaysian Politicians,

Please stop the power chase, call for a truce and focus on the economy. I do not claim to speak on behalf of all Malaysians, but I have strong convictions that many share my sentiments. Our concern today is not who rules the country or heads the state governments but the looming bad economy. Whether Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat leads, it is meaningless if Malaysians have no job to go to, no money to pay rent and no means to put food on the table. I am a business owner, like other business owners and managers of corporations I have a responsibility to ensure people under my care and payroll continue to have jobs and a decent income to take home. We work hard and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our nation not only survive this crisis but come out stronger and wiser. We need your help. Let me explain. I am in the business of Training, Development and Consultancy and have 20 people in my team.

Saedah is 42. She keeps the office clean and helps organise the training rooms. She has four children and her husband is unemployed. She was first hired on a part time basis, because she is very hard working and has a great attitude, we offered her a full time job to help provide a stable income for her family. Even then, when her third child started school this year, it was a struggle for her to buy new school uniforms and other necessities. Saedah lives on a ‘kais bulan, makan bulan’ basis, so, if she is jobless, her tap runs dry.

Samsuri is 27 years old. He lives with his sister and her family in a low cost government flat in Sunway. He does our despatch, helps with various clerical works and occasionally acts as a driver. During the first week at zubedy, we learned that he not only did not have money to buy new clothes and shoes for work, he had no money for lunch. Like Saedah, if he has no job, his tap runs dry too.

Alicia in Client Servicing turns 26 this year. She lives with her dad who is 71 years old and retired. Her mom passed away when she was little. Alicia is a hard-working team member, has a gentle caring outlook and fun to be with. (We like to poke fun at her as she blushes easily). Last May her dad went through a major operation, thank God he has recovered well. Alicia needs a job, both for herself and her dad.

Sudesh, 38, is one of our facilitators. When his father passed away last year, he moved back and lives with his mother in Seremban. He shuttles between Kuala Lumpur and Seremban daily, leaving home sometimes as early as 4 in the morning and returning late at night. He is no stranger to hard work and sacrifice, he knows what he needs to do to survive and to care for his mother, but he too needs a job.

Like fellow Malaysians, every one of us in zubedy needs employment, those that live from hand to mouth like Saedah and Samsuri and others like Alicia and Sudesh with family to care for. We Malaysians need the Malaysian economy to be strong. We need you, our leaders, to work hard and to work together to make our economy viable.

So this is my plea.

Pakatan Rakyat, please stop your attempts to take over the federal government and persuade BN’s lawmakers to join you. Stop all legal proceedings, no more 916 and let go, just let go. The nation can wait till the next general elections if they want change. By doing so, Malaysians will see your party as caring, unselfish and gracious and give you their support in the next elections.

Barisan Nasional, please stop any attempts to take over PR states and win over PR’s lawmakers. You have proven your point with Perak. The nation can wait for the next general elections if they want your party. Focus all your talent, energy and hard work in steering the country out of an economic downturn. By doing so, Malaysians will see your party as caring, unselfish and smart and give you their support in the next elections.

BN and PR! Call for a truce. Get together and compromise. Someone has to give in. Or has hate consumed your heart till it blinds you? You can do it. You have enough intelligent people between you. I am sure you can find solutions. Take the nation to heart. That is why you are in politics in the first place.

Focus on the people.

Focus on the economy.

More monkey shows

Today, many monkeys showed their tricks in this "boleh land".

First show - many monkeys led by one or two king chimpanzees showed their faces, tricks and what have yous at the parliament house of this country. They called it "scuffle". I think this group of monkeys are perhaps (or I am convinced), the worst species of monkeys; they are like wild dogs instead and should be put to sleep.

Second show was the announcement of further burden on the pockets of people who from 1 March, will need to fork out more to travel the highways and ex-ways. What a timing. And yes, what a timing that toll collection for a certain stretch of a certain hi-way was removed just a few days ago and then the same concessionaire involved was asked to build and collect for another stretch. What a monyet show.

Malaysians are too tired of monkey shows. Will have a moo-tiny show perhaps.

Denial syndrome

The air of denial is very strong in this country. Somehow, it especially blows to the country leaders. Tak tahu! No-lah! No such thing lah! What recession? Huh, recession? Still growing what!! GDP still high what!!!

These are some of the very common expressions from the people who caught on the denial syndrome. Very sad indeed for the people of this country. Still got to and still can afford to wait until 10 March to deliver the next stimulus package!!! Wah, really "beh ta han leh" (cannot stand anymore).

The Bukit jinx

As of 17 Feb 2009, by-elections have been declared at two Bukit constituencies and another Bukit was added yesterday due to another now considered to berun-of-the-mill, generic type of character assassination that is going on in this nation.

How did we get into this situation? Easy. Just need to get yourself famous, then get onto some sexy pose, and post that pose onto the web or share around the phone network, and you are launched into a super stardom that comes with free publicities. The entire nation will be focused on you, fully distracted from the global crisis, and what have you nots. It is complicated. Life is complicated in Malaysia. It is confusing too. It is full of drama but bored drama.

People, after some time, are not interested anymore in this kind of wayang kulit. We people are anxious to move on. Malaysia needs to get over this jinx, the Bukit jinx.

Frog jumping show

For ones who have not seen a frog jumping before, this country is a good place to do so. Frogs are everywhere. You will get to see frogs everywhere and the interesting thing is that all the frogs jump, literally everywhere. The frogs are reared to be everywhere and reared to jump everywhere. Interesting frogs. Big frogs, small frogs, white frogs, black ones, grey ones also got. Fat ones (wooo, they can jump too!!!), small ones, thin ones,,,, they are all here.

And the best thing is,,,it's free. Need not pay any single penny to watch the frogs jump.

The chaotic silver state









As I blogged this, the loose alliance party that ruled the silverish state up north for close to a year has broken down and is out of the government. The alliance party of NB has won and will have one of its members sworn in as the chief in a few hours' time. Somehow this time, I have a feeling that this is the right move by the Sultan in deciding against a fresh polls for the state.

Let's wait and see.
