Obviously, there will not be no changes as long as Umno-led BN is in power. Pak Lah has not brought any change despite his promises of reforms. I don't blame him coz he is in a 'U-must-not-object' system. Hopefully, PKR-led Pakatan Rakyat will bring the next wave of change while preserving the special position of the Malay rulers, Malays, Islam and Bahasa Melayu. JOM UBAH!

Nuffnang Friso Family Day Out @ Kizsports & Gym 1U
Janson in the tunnel for the first time!
Friso talk ~ I got a FREE 2GB thumb drive.
Tomorrow, day after tomorrow...beyond 2013? - www.malaysiakini.com
I think PKR should really stop talking about a takeover and start doing real work. Rule well in the five states. Show the rakyat your sincerity to serve. By doing so, you will silence the critics for good.

Chua Soi Lek speaketh - www.malaysiakini.com
MCA deputy president Chua Soi Lek today said that it was time to change the concept of power sharing within Barisan Nasional. He said that the oft-used slogan of ‘Ketuanan Melayu', or Malay supremacy, that indicated a master and servant relationship was unacceptable. "We accept Malay leadership, but not Malay supremacy," he said in his speech which was delivered at the Kancil Awards Festival Speaker Series. Chua also touched on the changes brought about after the March general election. The election, he said, marked the start of the two-party system, thus forcing political parties to change to be competitive. "The rakyat voted for change. It is very obvious, that the BN leaders, my party included, were not prepared and were caught unaware of the voters' sentiments. ('We accept Malay leadership, not Malay supremacy' - Malaysiakini)
I would like to think that Chua is a down-to-earth leader, not in denial and open to change. Well, he is like a lone ranger now though elected as deputy president despite his 'sexplosion'. He is clearly being 'sidelined' as he is not accepted into the cabinet. I wonder how long he will survive...

Migrants human. Government (in)human. - www.malaysiakini.com
To a question 'What lessons did you learn from the ordeal?', she said perseverance. She also added that the acquittal was a personal victory in terms of freedom but not in terms of government's accountability as conditions in the detention camps have not changed. If only there were more Malaysian humans like Fernandez, not in NGOs but in government, who can feel and act for migrants.

Big fish, small fish. Big-timers. Small-timers. - www.malaysiakini.com
A motion by Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim to discuss the problem of negative foreign investment inflow into Malaysia was rejected by the deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee this morning. "I am rejecting the motion to discuss, although it is specific and of public interest, it is not necessarily an immediate concern...He also wanted the House to discuss the latest United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Worlds Investment Report 2008...He also stressed that there was a high transaction cost in Malaysia, due to endemic bribery and corruption. "It is bribery when its small-timers, but commission when it is leaders," he said. He added that the all-time high crime rates were also reducing the nation's attractiveness. "Why is it difficult for the government to set aside one or two hours to discuss a specific issue affecting our country? (Anwar's motion on economy rejected - Malaysiakini.com)
Good question put forth by Anwar but it is a question not without answers. If the government does not even take heed to a report by United Nations addressing the negative foreign inflow into Malaysia, will it the Opposition's motion? No way. Not even the smallest voice of the rakyat, the man on the street...The rakyat may be the 'ikan bilis' now but never underestimate the power of a multitude of small fish.

Michael Jackson can't do yoga in Malaysia
This time, is Michael turning to Islam for peace due to a £4.7m million lawsuit filed by Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa, son of the King of Bahrain, over an alleged breach of contract? By the way, he used to do yoga to calm his nerves while on trial for child molestation.
One thing for sure, if Michael is now in Malaysia, he can't do yoga. Why? Well, yoga is now declared 'haram' for Muslims. Malaysiakini reported: Yoga - practices that involve physical movements, worshiping and chanting - is officially prohibited (
Carpe diem and other "seize the day" sayings
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carpe diem is a phrase from a Latin poem by Horace. It is popularly translated as "seize the day". The general definition of carpe is "pick, pluck, pluck off, gather" as in plucking or picking a rose or apple, although Horace uses the word in the sense of "enjoy, make use of, seize."
"Carpe diem! Seize the day, boys! Make your lives extraordinary!" was used in the hit movie Dead Poets Society by Robin Williams's character, a film that explores the idea of carpe diem from the viewpoint of a classroom of young men at an all-boys boarding school, and is ranked #95 in AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes.The Bible also says, "Redeeming the time because the days are evil." Other sayings related to Carpe diem - "Time and tide wait for no man", "Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die"

Poor Bala. He was a star witness. Now, he is a hidden star. I put my hat off to him for being a Braveheart. Though a commoner, his first SD could have been deadly enough to topple BN's rule. Will he be brought back to face his charge or can Bala make a third SD to strike out the second SD?

Dial 100: Telekom fault reporting (my bad experience)
Day 2: Yesterday, I dialed 100 from my office (shhh, no one is supposed to know) at about 10 AM. I informed that the technician had not come to my house. I heard the cso telling me that the socket had been changed. I asked for the time the technician came to my place. She said 9 something. I went home later at night. Asked my mom if the technician came, she said no. I was mad.
Day 3: This morning, I dialed 100 from my office (shhh, no one is supposed to know). I asked for status. This time, the cso told me I had to buy the socket and fix it! I asked her if the technician had come to my house to check. She said no. I asked how then the technician knew the socket was faulty. She gave the reason that the line from outside to my house was not faulty.
I almost exploded.
I asked again, 'How do you know if the technician did not come? Are you 100% sure that the socket is faulty?
'Yes,' she said.
'So, if I buy the socket, fix it and the phone still doesn't work, then how?'
'Ok, please wait...' She put me on hold. 'Ok, we will send the technician to your house.'
I was very much relieved to hear that but I still had to ask, 'So, when will the technican come?'
She gave the standard answer, 'Within 24 hours...'

Abdul Razak begging on behalf of Najib and wife - www.malaysiakini.com
I agree. So, let us turn to the truth as reported, not by blogs but online news portal. Malaysian National News Agency BERNAMA reported on June 30, 2007 19:18 PM: In the high-profile murder trial yesterday, Altantuya's cousin, Burmaa Oyunchimeg, 26, told the court that she had seen a picture of Altantuya having a meal in the same table with political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda, 46, and a Malaysian government official who is known by the name of "Najib Razak" and several others.
Abdul Razak said at the pc, "...There was a media, a reputable one which claim I met her over dinner. Where did that come from. Let’s leave it at that." (Was he referring to BERNAMA?)
Let me list at least three more non-blogs site that reported on Burmaa's revelation:
1. The Malaysian Bar - Najib seen with Altantuya
2. Asia Sentinel - Malaysia's Missing Witness
3. The Electric New Paper - 'Shut up', 'sit down' - lawyers slug it out in court
The Banana Test
There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals
a Lion , a Chimpanzee , a Giraffe , and a Squirrel , who pass by.
They decide to compete to see who is the fastest to get a banana off the tree.
Who do you guess will win?
Your answer will reflect your personality.
So think carefully .. . .. Try and answer within 30 seconds
Got your answer?
Now scroll down to see the analysis.
If your answer is:
Lion = you're dull.
Chimpanzee = you're a moron.
Giraffe = you're a complete idiot.
Squirrel = you're just hopelessly stupid.
A COCONUT TREE DOESN'T HAVE BANANAS.
Obviously you're stressed and overworked.
You should take some time off and relax!
Try again next year.
Jesus, the Great Physician
Jesus referred to himself as physician twice:
Luke 4:23: And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself!” Matt. 9:12-13: But when He heard this, He said, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick. But go and learn what this means, I desire compassion, and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
The word used for physician in Greek was iatros, derived from iaomai, which refers to spiritual as well as physical healing (similar to the concept of shalom or rapha). Jesus was undoubtedly using the word “physician” to refer both to the spiritual and physical aspects of healing that He commanded.

We have no choice but to pump petrol and now we still have to pay more than the full cost at the pumps when the govt and petrol stations still make money. Ahh...talk about savings for development?

Frankly, I didn't expect to read 'that thing'! What is 'that thing'? 'That stick' or 'luscious lip'? Gender aside, this ex UM VC could easily earn my esteem. I mean, many men (and women too) would envy her for being the first woman to head a public university. Also, why is she whining? UM, as the leading university began to slide since the 80s? Now, it's not even in the 200th ranking.

Will Anwar tell all at PKR congress? Malaysiakini reported: The PKR congress this year will revisit the abortive Sept 16 plan to take over the federal government, with
Anwar had better come up with an excellent explanation. Otherwise, he would be permanently etched in the rakyat's mind as the boy who cried wolf. In the meantime, Anwar should stop being an Umno basher and start to shore up PKR's position by administering effectively in PR-led states.
Friso Brings My Family Out
Ok, now for the WHY Family Day is important for your children...Many. The first WHY is the word 'Family'. It means 'Father and mother i love you.' Thus, Family Day is a day dedicated to foster family tie. The second WHY. Communication. My child needs to communicate, not only with his parents but with other children as well. The third WHY. Time out. Family Day is the time for my kid to go out and have fun. No fun to stay home all the time. The fourth WHY. Play. I believe my son will learn a lot by playing. My wife and I would love to play too since there is a kid in each of us!

So sad. So predictable the outcome of this trial even though there were hopes that the murderers would be brought to justice. We know that somebody else is behind it. So, why is that somebody else not called to testify in court? International Court of Justice may not be possible - a bigger blow.

Firstly, I'm sure as CJ, Zaki must have prepared his speech way in advance and read from it. Perhaps, the 'bribing' part came out spontaneously during delivery.

Mamak Mahathir for raced-based politics - www.malaysiakini.com
DAP may be a Chinese-based party but it is not a party for the Chinese like MCA. Can a Malay or Indian join MCA? No. Keadilan is living up to its name - justice. If Keadilan had a recruitment campaign, its slogan should be - 'Now everyone can join!' PAS is for Muslims but not raced-based. I am sure PAS will accept any Muslim regardless of race as its member - even Mamak Mahathir! 8-|

Will the court allow the prosecution to go on "fishing" for more? Hmm...I hope justice will once again favour RPK when Judge Rozina Ayob delivers her ruling tomorrow. Let us all wait n see.

Police loves to arrest peace-loving Malaysians - www.malaysiakini.com
I think the Bar Council shouldn't be alarmed as the police also attacked the lawyers' march last year 09 Dec in conjunction with UN's World Humans Right Day. The police also arrested Edmond Bon, Bar Council human rights committee chairperson. If the police can do that to the lawyers, what more the normal 'unprofessional' rakyat, the man on the street, the peace-loving Malaysians!!

Umno the backbone. So, U Must Not Object! - www.malaysiakini.com
Let me understand correctly - Umno stands for United Malays National Organisation. So how can Umno's struggle be for all Malaysians? The same goes for MCA and MIC. MCA for Chinese, MIC for Indians. Oh, the rest of the component parties just have to forget about their struggles. Why? Coz Umno is THE backbone. Either you depend on THE backbone or develop your OWN backbone!

Anwar and Najib EQUALLY good but CLOUDED - www.malaysiakini.com
I think Ramon is just being plain diplomatic. Anwar and Najib may be equally good and 'clouded' but the former was proven innocent when the highest court overturned his (first) sodomy conviction while Najib has until now not been called to the civil court in Altantuya's murder trial. So, I wish to ask Mr. Transparency Ramon how transparent can justice be if Najib became the PM?
For I am persuaded...

Fish roe
I didn't know what 'fish roe' was and had not eaten one until last night. My friend cooked curry fish head and added a few fish roes in.
He told me that fish roes were sold at Indian restaurant and a fish roe could cost up to RM7. Well, as far as I could remember, I hadn't eaten one in my life, I told my friend.
Everybody loves Raja Petra but he does not want to be the PM - www.malaysiakini.com
Raja Petra's fear that his release may be politically motivated is valid. After all, articles written under his name (but not necessarily written by him) have linked the person who wants to be the prime minister to Altantuya, the murdered Mongolian.
I am humbled by Raja Petra, an uncommon raja who endears himself to the rakyat.

Change has come and conquered! - www.malaysiakini.com
Americans, like Malaysians, have longed for change. Obama's win is the voice of the people. Earlier this year, I asked a friend familiar with American politics if Obama could 'beat' Hilary Clinton. He answered convincingly, 'America will not have a first black president before having a first woman president.' Personally, I don't follow American politics closely but I pick up pieces of it here and there. A rumour says Obama is half a Muslim? I thought to myself, 'Who cares?' Can a half-Muslim-and-liberal President be worse than a linked-to-Altantuya-murder Prime Minister?

So good...government gives option for extra cash - www.malaysiakini.com
The government today announced a RM7 billion stimulus package to bolster the economy in face of a global financial crisis. Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak tabled the package when winding up the debate on the 2009 Budget for the Finance Ministry at the Dewan Rakyat. For starters, the government will give workers the option to reduce their contribution to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) by three percent (from the current 11% to 8%) for two years beginning next January. "A person with a salary of RM2,000 a month will get RM60 extra in disposable income, while someone earning RM6,000 will get an additional disposable income of RM180 a month," said Najib.

Hopefully, Malaysiakini will report on it. 8)
The wisest king
2 Chronicles 1 (Contemporary English Version)
7 God appeared to Solomon that night in a dream and said, "Solomon, ask for anything you want, and I will give it to you."
8 Solomon answered:
LORD God, you were always loyal to my father David, and now you have made me king of Israel.
9 I am supposed to rule these people, but there are as many of them as there are specks of dust on the ground. So keep the promise you made to my father
10 and make me wise. Give me the knowledge I'll need to be the king of this great nation of yours.
11 God replied:
Solomon, you could have asked me to make you rich or famous or to let you live a long time. Or you could have asked for your enemies to be destroyed. Instead, you asked for wisdom and knowledge to rule my people.
12 So I will make you wise and intelligent. But I will also make you richer and more famous than any king before or after you.

Govt still in denial over economy? Wait and see lah...- www.malaysiakini.com
If governments all over the world are stepping up their action plans on an almost daily basis, then ours is on a 'wait-and-see' basis. Well, in the words of our not-so-newly-minted Finance Minister - “Wait for my speech in Parliament on Nov 4. I will announce several government measures to overcome the financial crisis.” (Source: The Star Online)
I bet most Malaysians just can't wait to hear the speech, right? Will it be an 'action-packed' one?
An evening sacrifice
32 So with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed.
33 Then he arranged the wood and cut the ox in pieces and laid it on the wood.
34 And he said, "Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood." And he said, "Do it a second time," and they did it a second time. And he said, "Do it a third time," and they did it a third time.
35 The water flowed around the altar and he also filled the trench with water.
37 "Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."
38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, "The LORD, He is God; the LORD, He is God."

Ahh...as long as it does not benefit Umno, nothing will happen. We know. Race is only an 'excuse'. IF Umno-led BN did heed and act on the call for reforms, it would have struck a magnanimous chord in the rakyat's heart and mind. But no. It is still in denial and will soon sink into oblivion.

Yesterday, I text one of my friends, a lawyer - 'Abdul Razak acquitted'. He replied, 'He should be.' A bit surprised by his reply, I asked why. He said, 'So much doubt.' I agree with him. There was so much doubt right from the start. So much so that some said the trial was nothing but a 'sandiwara'.
So good lah...now that Abdul Razak is free. I hope Azilah & Sirul will be freed too. Why? Coz no one deserves to die. Not even Altantuya.
