Space flight participant

I never hide my feeling on how much I never supported the space flight participant. In fact, I posted about the payment he received in this blog ages ago. When Harakah came out with the article about his charge RM8k/hour, I was not surprised at all.

It is so unbelievable if MOSTI find out later he is not guilty...I wrote about his charge in August, and the matter was asked in Parliament just last month (October/November). MOSTI only requested the proof 2 weeks ago..Unless I have some power, then only I could be influenced by media. I'm afraid in Bolehland there is no way we can get fair justice. He is the UMNO's 'mascot' so read my lip-he is NOT guilty even after proven guilty...lots of things can be swept under the carpet...

Maid in Putrajaya get Datukship??

What could be more ridiculous than awarded datukship to Shah Rukh Khan?...now, somebody else also got Dato'...I still wonder, what was her contribution to the nation? She can't even wake her husband up from such a deep sleep...sigh...Malaysia Boleh!

The value of Datukship..

Original post:

I nearly fell off my chair when I first read in NST last night Shah Rukh Khan will be awarded Datukship by Malacca..In the first place, my conspiracy theory was Ali Rustam ambition. He's running for UMNO VP, and everybody know how much Rosmah admires Shah Rukh Khan hahaha..I think I read about this somewhere few years ago. There you go..somebody start kissing ass, create a link if not directly to the President in waiting, then they go for the real woman in power.

And today in The Star, Ali Rustam said the Datukship was proposed by Daim..Hmm next conspiracy theory is something to do with money hahaha...Why Daim's name comes out every time recession hits Malaysia??? How much he actually gained in previous recession in 80s and 90s???

I just believe there is no value to Datukship any more..Be a good ass kisser, then surely we can get Datukship later hahahaha...

non-economist point of view on 2009 budget :-D

Before I start writing about budget, let me explain a bit about my travel to France. Again, my departure was postponed to God knows when :-)) I was informed that French immigration finally approved our visa, however a new regulation that needed a minister approval was imposed..Therefore, they said the process could take 1 day to 3 weeks..hahaha...so, I guess nothing can be done at this stage.

Since all my course works were completed, I took 1 week off this week. Finally, I managed to do lots of things including pay various bills, zakat, repair my car, arrange necessary financial thingy etc..quite a hectic week I would say.

Today, I allocate some time to watch PM table the budget. On the bright side, I appreciate the bonus for civil servant. Also, I quite like the idea of energy plan e.g less than RM20 bill do not have to pay for bill (although my bill normally RM70++), tax reduction for hybrid car etc. I also like the idea of various incentives to farmers and low income people, various tax exemptions for ordinary people like us e.g. interest from saving, telephone and internet bills etc.

However, I have serious doubt on certain issues. This is my personal opinion-rakyat marhaen with science and engineering background. Large amount of money was allocated for Sabah and Sarawak-why?? Pressure to remain in power? Large amount of money for public transport improvement e.g Rapid KL and Rapid Penang-who will benefit from this? (clue-check shareholder of this company :-D). Also, large amount of money to buy new buses, who will benefit from this??-read here. hehehe..Malaysian are just too dumb to realize about this...

Either we realise or not, the budget was only described about how to spend the money..However, the only income I can see was from increment of cigarette price from 5 cents to 3 cents- is it enough to support the whole plan? I would like to see more on how government are going to generate income, how are they going to get more fund. My analogy, I need to buy this and that but I'm not sure if I can have the money to materialize my plan..sound ridiculous??? :-)

I also nearly laugh to dead when I heard the opening and closing...let me re-phrase for those did not have a chance to watch it today.

Opening-
"Semangat setia kawan yang ikhlas teruji ketika kita menghadapi kesukaran dan kesusahan. Kawan di masa senang memang ramai, tetapi kawan sejati yang setia dan sanggup bersama di masa susah tidak mudah dicari"...My friend suggested he actually described his situation )

Closing-
"Saya ingin menegaskan bahawa kerajaan BN yang diberi mandat oleh rakyat pada Mac lalu akan terus memelihara kestabilan politik dan meningkatkan kemakmuran ekonomi negara. Usaha pihak tertentu yang cuba menggugat kestabilan ini, dengan merampas kuasa secara tidak sah tanpa mandat majoriti rakyat, perlu ditolak. Kita tidak boleh membenarkan ketidakpastian yang timbul untuk berterusan. Sedikit sebanyak ia akan memberi kesan negatif kepada pelabur asing, sentimen ekonomi dan juga pasaran modal. Saya tidak akan membenarkan gangguan ini diteruskan. Saya tidak akan membenarkan mandat rakyat dirampas daripada BN yang telah menang majoriti pilihan raya umum secara sah dan mengikut lunas demokrasi. Saya yakin rakyat akan terus memberi sokongan kepada kerajaan BN untuk melaksanakan tugas mentadbir negara. We need to get on with the business of governing and not waste any more time with opportunistic threats to seize the people's mandate through undemocratic means, dengan izin"


Probably those sentences didnot have impact on you, but believe me if you listen to how he actually said it, then you will understand why I said so...what's that supposed to mean?? Why did he say so?? What are the relation between the tabled budget and opposition?? For me, those remarks are just so NOT-PROFESSIONAL...or childish!

The whole 'teks ucapan' (in Malay) can be obtained here

Enough said for now..

p/s: I thank Eli for being with me throughout the budget-even when I fell asleep..hahahaha

PRK P. Pauh

update 29 August 2008

I quite like this article on How and Why UMNO lost..Have a look..



Original post: 25 August 2008

Since my departure is postponed to 28th, I'm taking 3 days off for myself..In a way, I simply need a break..At the same time I also need to tidy up my house and pack my stuff.

I spent the whole morning get rid of my vegetables garden in my backyard. I can't imagine if I just leave the plants as it is, I think my garden will be like rain forest after a year hahaha...and I seriously afraid of snake..Basically, I only left very few plants in my backyard.

Back to the original topic, since I'm on leave today, I followed my sister drove around Permatang Pauh constituent in the afternoon.In my opinion, poster wise I would say PKR can easily win. Although, I'm not Anwar's fan, I have a feeling he can easily win because people around there simply admire him without limit. For myself, his previous 'report card' just too bad to get my vote..

I sort of pity BN's candidate Arif Shah. When we drove around, we saw lots of Anwar's poster with various clothes. On the other hand, very least of Arif Shah poster. We were a bit confused Arif Shah or Pak Lah/Najib is the candidate because heaps of their photos compared to Arif Shah?? I also had a feeling very few people actually help him during campaign because most of BN's posters were not placed as high as PKR's posters. In fact, road signboards are higher than BN's poster :-))

Here are several pictures around PRK P. Pauh..

Sodomy part 2?

I was surprised to read from newspaper and blog today about another sodomy allegation of DSAI. Somebody just never changed...When you are power crazy, then people will start to kick your butt..I just wonder how 2 series of allegations will make somebody a PM. I don't think so..Once our image being tainted, whatever we do, people still remember...Somehow, it is just doesn't matter we really did it or not...

It takes time and hard work to build integrity, but we may loss it in a blink...

Why he should be kicked out...

First thing in the morning I read today was about the sacking of Unisel's VC by the MB...If I'm the MB, I would do the same. As a professional, he in fact failed to choose the right Pro Canselor-Rosmah?? Judging from his previous post as UM's DVC, people expected him to do better. However, he chose to be ass-kisser..now, here is the door...Around the blog people were asking for her credibility to be appointed as Pro Canselor...Not an academician, not a prominent businesswoman, not a 'Dr Siti Hasmah the second'..and yet she was appointed...What was her highest education to lead the university?

Probably, he should consult pro-canselor a.k.a first lady in waiting.

I believe the world is very close to the END. What ever mistake we make today, God will refund by CASH so that we can learn from our mistake...

Pack-lah...

I just simply don't have time to write these days since I'm attending 3 weeks course and have to visit my Tokwan at hospital..what a hectic life!

Yesterday, when I came back from Seberang Jaya, most petrol stations were full of cars :-D..Thank God, I already knew Pack-lah goin' to announce the new oil price yesterday so that I already fill up my car in the morning...the stampede much worst than before, I would say. Some petrol station, the queue can be up to 500 meter..imagine...Come to think of it, now I always spend around RM60 per week. After this, I need EXTRA RM30...although we still can afford it doesn't mean we are willing to spend that much..

My questions to the 'decision makers' up there:

Do they pay for:

1) Petrol ?
2) Road tax ?
3) Toll ?

and yet they still claim for travel allowances. First thing government should look into is to withdraw all ministers and JUSA allowances related to transportation. Then only they will understand our situation..If they are not in our shoes, how are they going to understand our need?

Or else, PACK-LAH!

another media twist

Following news about TDM quitting UMNO, those who watched news last night and read newspaper today should read this link about Mukhriz..When I watched his press conference on TV, I already knew they simply edited his statement to what the sleeping beauty wanted to hear, not really what actually happened...Here, are some interesting points taken from the link above..Up to us, believe what's on 'official' media, or alternative media...:


Saya amat faham dan bersetuju bahawa tindakan ayahanda saya adalah kerana sayangnya beliau kepada UMNO. Saya juga percaya bahawa bagi mencapai matlamat tindakan tersebut, terdapat lebih dari satu cara perlaksanaanya. Maka dengan itu, saya mengumumkan bahawa saya TIDAK AKAN MELETAKKAN JAWATAN DI DALAM UMNO,SEBAGAI AHLI PARLIMEN JERLUN MAHUPUN SEBAGAI AHLI UMNO. SAYA AKAN TETAP SETIA SEBAGAI AHLI UMNO DAN AKAN MENJADI SUARA YANG LANTANG MENEGUR KEPINCANGAN KEPIMPINAN PARTI;

2. Seterusnya, saya serta rakan-rakan yang sependirian dengan saya dengan ini MENDESAK SEKERAS-KERASNYA AGAR YAB DATO’ SERI ABDULLAH HJ AHMAD BADAWI MELETAKKAN JAWATAN SEBAGAI PERDANA MENTERI MALAYSIA, PRESIDEN UMNO DAN PENGERUSI BARISAN NASIONAL DENGAN SEGERA;

3. Kami juga mendesak agar Majlis Tertinggi UMNO MEMBUKA SELUAS-LUASNYA SEGALA RUANG DEMOKRASI PARTI YANG TERMAKTUB DI DALAM PERLEMBAGAAN PARTI yakni dalam bentuk pemansuhan sistem kuota, membenarkan Mesyuarat Agung Luar Biasa diadakan, tidak menghalang ahli-ahli UMNO untuk mengadakan majlis bersama pemimpin atau tokoh Melayu, dan tidak mengeluarkan sebarang bentuk arahan, kekangan atau larangan yang menafikan prinsip-prinsip demokrasi dalam parti; dan

4. Selanjutnya, kami MENGGESA AHLI UMNO KHUSUSNYA DAN RAKYAT MALAYSIA AMNYA, menyuarakan bantahan mereka terhadap kepimpinan YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Hj Ahmad Badawi secara terbuka dan lantang melalui surat peribadi, sms, surat kepada media serta melalui sidang-sidang media, bagi MEMBERI TEKANAN AGAR YAB DATO’ SERI SEGERA MELETAKKAN JAWATAN SEBAGAI PERDANA MENTERI, PRESIDEN UMNO DAN PENGERUSI BARISAN NASIONAL.

slap in the face

Can't wait for sleepy head comment..after he commented on Datuk Lee appointment by DAP Penang state gov, this guy left Gerakan for good..Actually when I heard sleepy head comment on news last night that Datuk Lee should not accept the appointment to be a director for one of Penang state gov company, I already said to myself "If I'm in his shoes, I definitely leave BN for good"...Now, how many seats BN still have in Penang...hehehe..

Why we have idiots like this in our society?? All ketua kampung that was appointed by previous state gov were asked to resigned..and yet they use tax payers' money to keep paying the allowances...Few weeks ago, all previous Jawatan Kuasa Kampung (JKK) in Pakatan Rakyat lead states were asked to resign...BUT...they were appointed as JKKP..means, taxpayers have to pay the allowances for both JKK and JKKP..what the %&*#..

Serve selected people or serve the rakyat?? If they behave like this, I'm just afraid people will completely vote them out in the next general election...clean your shit!
