Champions League QF

Champions League quarter finals resume tonight, with Roma hosting Man Utd and Schalke 04 take on Barcelona.

Roma vs Man Utd is a repeat of the same last year at the same stage. This time result will not repeat itself like last. Roma has improve and more consistent since their whitewash at OT last year. This year they will be well prepared. Unfortunately their main player, Francesco Totti is out injured, and will be missed most by their teammates.

Whereas Man Utd will have a virtually full squad to choose from, even those on bench is of world class players. So my prediction for this match will be either a draw or a Man Utd win by 1 goal margin. Man Utd will be too strong for Roma at this time base on their performance over the last 2 to 3 weeks. All Man Utd players, especially C. Ronaldo is on fire. So my bet goes to MU.

As for Schalke 04, they stand a chance to create an upset of the round. Judging by Barcas form of late, it is not difficult to see they are losing confidence and also the team unity. They are also heavily affected by injuries to their key players, like Ronaldinho, Lionel Messi, Deco etc. Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry partnership still have yet to click, and it's hardly see them click suddenly in this game.

Schalke 04 has been performing consistently of late and if they are able to assert more pressure into Barca's defence, surely they stands a strong chance of creating an upset. Hence I'll go for Schalke 04 on this match.

What's your view?

Is this true?

Can someone tell if the below story is true or just April fool!

Yesterday I heard from somewhere that there's an UMNO important person is involve in DVD sex scandal again! This person is very important to UMNO and is an equally important advisor. Detail of the DVD scene not know yet, but will be release in 2 weeks time.

Sammy Vellu Urge

Samy Vellu has urged PM to release the 5 detainees of Hindraf related personnel. What's the motive of Samy behind this? Probably he's losing the trust of Indian community and he's trying to befriend with Hindraf so he would be able to win back some trust amongst them.

If his intention is genuin, that's fine because the detained are, I guess incorrectly detained up to now, but if the intention is otherwise, I guess Samy would make more enemy with public rather than friends.

I'm not sure the whole scenario of this, but just base on my very own opinion. It may be wrong!
What you think?

My KK Trip!

Just came back from KK trip and it's really an exortic memory for me!

Just about 10 years ago I told my friends very firmly that I will never reach the peak of Mt Kinabalu because I'm not physically fit to walk all the way up there. But last Saturday, I did it. I manage to go through the difficulties of long walking hours, thin air, sleepiness, difficulty in breathing and tireness, I manage to conquer the height of Mount Kinabalu.

There's some self satisfaction for being able to climb the heighest mountain in SEA, and secondly I can really enjoy the nice view from the height of mountain downwards and seeing virtually the whole of KK town. It looks so small our human being and nature from top, and I really can't imagine how I manage to go all the way up.

Now that I finally reach the top, I don't think I will ever go for another mountain climbing trip in the near future, and now is looking for new adventure stuff to explore.

P/s: Maybe will post some photos here at a later date/blog

Lucky Arsenal!

Luck strikes on Arsenal again! They came back from 2 goals down to beat their bogey team Bolton right at the dead, and it's a huge escape for them. Otherwise their EPL campaign could well be over by now.

Is it their mental strength gets them through this or is it just pure luck? I think it's more luck than strength because from the way they perform it's just not look like a team capable of winning EPL title. Comparing to Man Utd and Chelsea, Arsenal has fallen back since few weeks ago.

After last weekend's games, where Man Utd won comfortably, Chelsea scrapped through, and Arsenal won, it's most likely this season's title deciding will go right down to wire. Hope this is the case and we will witness one of the most exciting ever EPL chase.

Finally Here I Come Mt Kinabalu

After so many months of waiting, the day finally comes. I'd been arranging all itenerary and hotels etc for the last 6 months, and now finally the day comes. I'm so excited about the White water rafting and mount Kinabalu climbing trip, and this shall be a new experience for me!

If anyone who's experience this before, mind to share your experience here please. Thanks

Stupidity of Mascherano

Sunday most of football fans witness some stupidity of Mascherano in getting himself sent off by referee. Although we do have symphaty towards him because he was the first player to be sent off after the dissent behaviour by Ashley Cole during the midweek.

But I don't think so because if you football fans outthere watching this game, it's quite clear from the first minute of games he already walking on thin line. He just couldn't keep his mouth shut to get on with the games, and secondly he kept swearing at referee 'F*** off' repeatedly, as we can read from his lips.

He, as a professional player from Argentina all the way to England, he should know how to behave himself on the pitch. He's doing quite well in containing C. Ronaldo and Andersson at bay up until he picked up his first booking. Things went from bad to worse when he couldn't keep up the pressure on Man Utd midfield and things boiled over upon F. Torres picked up his caution.

Why did he rushed across the field length to confronted the referee? Steve Benneth is no stranger to this situation and he should know, or at least the team backrom staff should let him know which referee is famous for such situation. Probably it's the heat of that moment Mascherano lost his mind for a split seconds and that's landed him in trouble. Up till that point of game, Liverpool was already having difficulties in keeping up with a fully charged Man Utd players, and he made it worse by getting himself sent off.

Then came the Liver'FOOL' manager, Mr R. Benitez. How on earth can he not understand the reason of Mascherano being sent off? He should see himself how Mascherano reacted and his body language during that moment. It's partially his own fault that Masc got red carded because he didn't act fast enough to calm down his players, and that's why his team lost as well. During big games like this, player's self discipline must come first before anything so that you are able to compete with 11 on field players.

So after these two days, listening to what pundits, staffs and players says, I think it's all Mascherano's own fault in this incident and he got only himself to blame for all this. He should just shut up and get on with his football, not F*** Off F*** Off F*** Off.......

Big mess in Terrengganu

It's been more than 2 weeks 12th general election passed, and Terengganu is still waiting for its 'proper' MB to sworn in! All other states MBs, including the opposition states already sworn in eventhough they faced some problems, but all indifferences already put aside and it's now time to get things up and running.

But one state still in limbo, where the sworn in MB was denied by PM, whom he's ready to sack for disobey his order of not swearing in as MB. This has made them a laughing stock in the political world, and now everyone is waiting to see what's going to happen to Ahmad Said and Idris Jusoh.

why is all this happened and why is MPPR appointed someone who's not supported by the party? PKR-DAP-PAS can resolve their indifferences and now they are working together to try building their respective states, and also working together as a coalition party to develop the states. All look set to cool down and settle in, when this episode of drama happen. Now we can wait for some 'big thing' to happen.

Probably within UMNO they have already divided into several teams, and everyone has their own agenda in it. For us let's wait and see what's going to happen there!

Smart Tunnel Closed

Just wondering why smart tunnel suddenly close this morning. It has caused such a bad jam and almost grid lock in the city. Probably it's due to rain last night that DBKL afraid flood happen somewhere, and also water dispersion insufficient inside the tunnel.

Aren't we suppose to be free of flash flood when SMART tunnel completed? Isn't the main purpose of SMART tunnel to divert water into river nearby or out of city? Why do they always close the tunnel after heavy downfall?

I guess this is due to undersize, and incompetent finished product built. It also shows we always want something No 1 in the world, which is useless. This tunnel made its name probably at the wrong end and reason now - Most useless tunnel ever built. It only nice on name, but useless in its function!

KKK Cries

National badminton double specialist Koo Kian Keat cries yesterday during a training session after comment made by his own coach, Rexy Mainaky. I think he is rightly to cries for because his performance has not been up to expectation since he, together with Tan Boon Heong won last year's Swiss Open. Koo, especially pointed out by Rexy as the main reason for the downfall because of certain issue, which might or might not true. But we can see whenever they play, Koo has the tendency to show off when meeting with lesser known opponent. This is the sucker punch that could happen to anyone, and Koo KK fall right into this trap.

When he was talking about lack of confidence from Tan, I think he doesn'e give assurance to his partner enough that caused such scenario. Now that Rexy pointed out Tan actually doesn't has much faith in Koo because he likes to show off too much. Probably this will serve him as a final warning and if he doesn't buck up and perform, then he's be out of Beijing Olympic because we want a player who fight for their country and pride, not personal glory and style.

Rexy is rightly to speak out so because if he send a player who doesn't have a heart to fight to win, he will be view as failure because he doesn't anticipated this. I have full faith in Rexy and too much time have been given to Koo and I think it's time to make or break for them.

New Cabinet

Now that new cabinet has formed. What's your view on all these new and existing ministers?

For sure a cabinet without Samy Vellu will be a good one by itself because he's been wasting too much of tax payers' money on too many unnecessary projects and constructions. Most profitable parties would be his associates from these work done.

Another would be the exclusion of Rafidah Aziz. She's been giving, as speculated, AP to all her associates and cronyisms all along, and with her exclusion now, hopefully we will see a fairer fight for AP and other trading opportunity amongst the nations.

As for the 'Jinx' post, Health Minister, Datuk Liow Tiong Lai. Just wondering how long will he last.

Tibet Rioting

It's very sad to hear that riots happened in Tibet and tens of people already been killed in these incidents. Why all these happen? Who's the main culprit for this? I'd read a lot of this issue over places and found out that it's actually all the Dalai Lama's fault. Why?

Dalai Lama is supposely a monk, or a religious rep, that is carrying out his supposed duty in the temple, or where he suppose to be. He's not a politician and he should not have fight for independence in the first place. As a monk his duty is to taking care of his temple and make sure his understudy oblige by the rules. Why on earth does he think he can do by involving himself into political world? Does he know how to manage the whole 'country' should he succeeded? Does he know the meaning of Politics?

From another point of view, if he doesn't have a backing of some strong contigents, he would not have ask for all these and he would be just living his normal life like so many other Tibetans. For this it is very clear who the backer is. Just think of who likes to go war or create havocs in every places. Just think which country always yelling at others to stop war when the war is actually started by themselve.

So for this I really do not support Dalai Lama for what he did and what he's fighting for. Of course China's human rights might not be as good as we would like, but to stir things up from nothing is by far worst than this. Just look at Taiwan few years back, this idiot is backing them to fight for independence until one stage where China is growing stronger and they have no control over it, they started to back off, and they are doing everything they could to stop China's coalition or close friend from growing as well.

Dalai Lama is just another game of theirs and we should not support such things as it's very damaging to the world peace

Should MCA President Stepdown?

Should Dato Seri Ong Ka Ting be blame for the failure of MCA in the recent conculded election? Has he done enough to remain in the hot seat? If he steps down, who's the suitable candidate to replace him?

We've seen enough of crap out from MCA recently. Most notably is the Selangor MCA member demanding Ong KT to step down. For me I feel Ong Ka Ting has really change the way MCA looks, and also he's trying his best effort to lead MCA to his best possible capability and bring us move forward far more than he would anticipated.


But we have to be realistic and realise that it's not easy to be in his position and giving his stands in the parliment and cabinets, all his effort and works is closely watched by his "Superior" and that anything out of line would get him into trouble with his "Superior". So I greatly have sympathy towards Ong and that he can't do a lot of things we would want him to because of some obligation.

When I read about the Selangor MCA member demanding for his resignation, the first thing appear in my mind is that these idiots merely wanted to make a name of themselve for future, and that they are seeking some higher position within the party for the good sake of themselve. I can rest assure all of you that if these people are taking over some important role within MCA, be it HQ or state level, I'm sure MCA would be in more trouble as it is now.

For us we must understand one thing, which is Barisan National is the ruling party, not MCA, not MIC, not PPP. It's lead by Barisan National's leader, who is xxxxxxx. (you should know who, and this person listen to XXXXX). At this very moment, MCA members should stay strong and stay together, not to split up the party further and depleting the party further. If MCA want to win back the people's heart, I think they would be best leave the past over and work together to solve and service the public.

I think Barisan National has no different to UMNO. It's all ruled by the same old person who's incapable to think himself, let alone manage the country. He only listen, he listened to everyone, he's understanding how everyone's feeling. Yet he only listen and felt. Has anyone ever hear him say he listen and understand you, and act upon it? NO is the answer. He listen only! No action taken whatsoever!

Menteri Besar

What happen to Menteri Besar in Perlis and Terrengganu? I thought it's only happen in Perak where opposition coalition party has a conflict in view, but also BN's Perlis and Terengganu. Aren't the MB post been decided and shall take place the swearing in of MB in the house of sultan or venue fixed.

Why are there a last minute change of MB candidate in these two states? Probably it's also the same happening with BN for who will be the MB. This shows that it's not an easy task to select the correct and rightful MB, but also all members and coalition must come into the same outcome in opinion to make things work.

At least this shows BN also have their own internal problem to solve, so now they can't just finger pointing to opposition coalition for such matter. They need to sort out their own issue prior to interfere with other state's business.

Maybe, just maybe the royal family and people of Terengganu and Perlis felt they voted for the wrong party now and are seeking a change in government!

Arsenal Draw Again

What's going on with Arsenal? They'd got 4 straight draws in the EPL either side of their heroic win over AC Milan. They've seen their lead of 8 points at one stage now cancelled out by Man Utd, and they are now been followed closely by Chelsea, who's 3 points behind with a game in hand.

From the way Arsenal play, it's not difficult to see that they are now on the way down (in EPL) and they will be facing difficulty of keeping up with Man Utd and Chelsea because these two teams have such a depth in reserve and substitute benches. Cesc Fabregas, Flamini, Gallas, Adebayor and co are all human afterall, and they too need rest and time to recharge.

Arsene Wenger keeps telling media they will cope with current crop of players, but reality shows they are not. If Wenger does not act fast now, I'm afraid they would be soon be left out of the title race by Chelsea and Man Utd.

Don't forget Champion's League games against Liverpool take place in between their congested fixture. Should they can't cope, they will ended the season empty handed yet again for sure!

Great F1 Opening

It's a great F1 season opening race in Australia. No doubt the most consistent driver won the race, and there are no short of incidents during the course of race as well.

I deeply feel lucky and unlucky for Kimi Raikkonen. Lucky is that he managed to avoid all the incidents happened during the opening stage, and also he manage to clawed back to 3rd place at one stage of the race, giving the position he started with.

Then unfortunate incident happened to him when he outbrake himself when trying to overtake Heiki Kovoleinen. Since then his race was as good as over, but worse was still to come. He experiencing a suspected mechanical problem, when he retired about 5 laps from chequered flag. Just when he thought he's about to get the last point of the race, he was informed that another retired driver, who manage to drove his scarlet car out to track again just to made that few extra lap.

So same old story for Kimi. Luck just wasn't on your side today, but with a prospective new engine, gearbox and new car available for the next GP in Malaysia, I'm sure you'll be as compatetive as ever, and you'll stand the strongest chance to win because weather in Malaysia is not so kind to those used engine, as I suspected and heard off.

However, we shall all embrace for a great Formula One season to kick start, and let's enjoy the races and have a small prediction of who will win the Malaysian GP next weekend?

Disgrace BN Antics

It has been just over a week after the 12th General Election, but it seems a long passed election because much incidents happened during the past one week, most notably are issues related to Penang Island.

We've heard muh noise was made against the cancellation of NEP, PM warn Lim Guan Eng of his future conduct, Protest occured below the state government office and few more. Especially the protest happened in various places, it looks most likely it's pre-planned and pre-arranged by BN as we all should know that any voilent conduct is against the federal government rules, and anyone involve will be punished.

So from my study and assumption, all these protests were likely to be arrange by BN after losing the state government to opposition and they are trying to wreck it back by whatever way they possibly could. This is a shameful act and for example Selangor State government is not even form yet, and there's strong protest against it. What are these idiots protest against? Are they protest against an empty office? Probably they would be better protest against Mohd Khir Toyo's administrative of "Empty Drawer" rather than this.

For party like BN to issue warning to opposition party who now controlling the state also shows another weak side of its administration. They are just "Kiasu" like we once labelled someone! As the biggest and controlling party for the last 50 years, they should feel disgrace of themselve to act in such a way. Winning and losing is a norm in political world and BN should learn how to react in a more proper manner than just firing blank at anyone.

Probably this election has hit them so hard they are losing their emotional control as well as their sportsmanship, and now it all expose to the nations and that we should feel great that we made the right choice. And hopefully BN will learn from their "mistake" and made corrective act to improve on their service. Otherwise they will be as naive and childish as ever, and Malaysia will not progress with such charactered minister and/or leaders in the controlling government.

Rain or Not to Rain

For those in Klang Valley, do you notice the weather over the past one week is more cloudy than usual? It almost rain everyday, especially in the afternoon. Our weather climate has changed and now it rains more often than before, and this already cause some problem especially motorists.

Traffic will be jam and slow moving everywhere when and after rains, inconvenient for people to walk outdoor and activity, difficult to hop from one place to another easily etc.

When weather is hot, everyone wish it rains or cooled down, which is unlikely. People are just difficult to be pleased. This including myself. People just never feel satisfy no matter what's been done.

So what you say about this scenario?

Outrages PM Badawi

Probably it's time for all of Malaysian to re-evaluate the credibility of PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. From the comment he made on new Penang CM Lim Guan Eng, it sounds more like a threat than advise.

Prior to 12th general election, he ordered authority to detain anyone who fuelled the racial tension and spreading around racial issues. We all applaused for the way he handled this because this will prevent things from getting worse.

Now barely a week after 'losing' the state to DAP, he himself started the fueling of racial tension among the community by warning Lim Guan Eng not to abolish the NEP, BN is watching you and many more. Most notably is the warning he gave to Lim not to fuel racial tension, by saying so he's actually the main person who is fueling the inter-racial tension.

What's so great about the NEP if central government do not have the proper plan and fund to carrying it out! Everyone can have their own NEP or whatever P's. However if it is not financially or economically feasible, it will be better scrapped off than spending big on some uncertain things. (This is purely my own opinion as I'm not in the position to judge these) What has the abolishing of NEP got to do with marginalising the other races?

Maybe, just maybe this NEP involve too many of his own teams that if abolished he will have some explaination or compensation to be done. Maybe he's one of the biggest benificial from this NEP, not the public. NEP is suppose for the good turn of country's economic, not personal. From the way he said it, it sounds more like personal gain than country. No wonder he's so eager to start up new economic region plans everywhere.

Before parliment dissolved, do the public know who holds the key to these NEP? Who's the main person in charge of these NEP? And is there any actual plans that is shown to public evensince NEP launched? All answers are unclear and I just wonder how much has they actually already 'SPENT' for this NEP.

Last but not least, if someone intensionally fuelling the racial tension and creating havoc, isn't that person should be lock up in cell? Isn't this the ISA law as stated loud and clear by Abdullah Ahmad Badawi himself? If it is true, then ISA shall act now and get this poor old man into cell to prevent things getting out of control.

Cancellation of Mega Projects

Read from another blog, and heard that those brainless BN ministers or reps that commented publicly they will withdraw all the "Mega Projects" planned for Penang for the coming years.

Is this sound like a threat to Penangites? Is this the method BN used all the while to win the election? Malaysia always promoting themselve as a democratic, multi-racial country and government etc, but looking at this it sound more like a Mafia Government. Surely if the state doesn't belong to the government party, they have the absolute rights to cancel plans since it's out of hand.

By doing so BN will give an impression to public that they bully their way through for the past 50 years, and now they are getting it worst, especially under this old stupid smiling old man with a new wife knowing only honeymooning. Comment like this will never be speak out during Dr M reign or before. Why? Because they will be shown the door straightaway regardless of who you are. Now the old man will just look on smiling and ignore all the consequences that might caused, and that's what they deserved today.

If this useless BN still think they can bully their way through, certainly they can carryon, but better hurry up since your time is start counting down from 4 years plus. Be prepare for a change in government! And I'm sure that's what most Malaysian want today!

Happy honeymoon, Square face Abdullah Ahmad Badawi!

Record Breaking 21-A Student

Another year gone by, and another year's SPM result released. This year we have another record broken. We have this guy obtaining 21 straight A and we all congratulated him and wish him all the best. Just how meaningful this straight A means? Is he really more clever and capable than others? Is he has supernatural power that others don't have? Where's the standard of our education system?

During our time SPM is a very difficult examinations, and you are allowed to take maximum of 10 subjects, which already not many students can get straight A. Now everyone is getting more A and every year it will increase. This is just another "Face" problem that exist within our people's mantle thinking and we assume the more A you score in an exam, the more clever you are, and the chances of getting into a good university is higher etc....

All this are just bullshit, and it's absolutely rubbish. I do not rate this student higher than any others. I still think those who can manage their 'normal' subject with A are as good as this 'Stupid' student. In studies you will never learn everything, and also there will never be short of new stuff to study and learn. So why on earth do they take up so much more subjects than others? Just to show off? Wanting the world to know we "Malaysian" can score 21 A in an exam? Want to prove to the world "Saya Boleh"?

Come on guys! With such inconsistent kind of study and teaching method, it only expose our weakness to outside world. Others will say we do not have a proper education system. Malaysian student can take whatever subject, howmany much subjects as their own wish, 'lesser smart' people can take less subject so can tell outsiders "I got straight A" etc. To be frank these people are mainly trying to show off and come the time really matter (seeking job), these are the people most useless and unwanted. Why?

Because they study too much and too much text book talk during interview. Companies are hiring people with actual and experienced staff, not textbook talked staff!

Wiser Lim Kit Siang

Lim Kit Siang apologised to newly elected Perak MB, and this has shown that Lim is now a lot wiser than before, and he also notice the importance of staying unite with PKR and PAS.

This may be the only chance opposition party has to control few states at the same time, and this presented the best opportunity for them to prove to public that they too can do a good job what previous government can't delivered. It may be one if every 50 years chance, and Lim would not be here (I suppose) come next 50 years.

So he must make full use of this opportunity to work harder, prove to public his capability, stay strong and unite with coalition parties, work hand in hand with them to run the states in a much better way. If they succeeding in this, who knows the next government may even be theirs to be taken comes next election.

So carryon your hard work, and make thing happen rather than just talk! We've listen enough of your talk and let's work together. We will all be behind you, support you and make you look great for the coming years so long we all get satisfied services and promise fulfilled.

Disturbing Comment from Ong Ka Chuan

Ong Ka Chuan has talk one thing too many now. All of the smart public knows what his intension is. What motive behind his comment is well known and this is just part of the tactic used by politicians.

All of us know MCA loses it big time during the recent election, and he's trying to salvage something for the party, and by mean of using every possible way - right or not right to try to distabalise the opposition. His intension is very clear that he's trying to create some uneasy feeling among opposition camps in the hope to disunite them altogether.

This is one step too far, Ong Ka Chuan. Public are a lot smarter nowadays, and your trick just won't work. It will only back fire on yourself as you are minister elected, and should you still don't keep you stinking mouth shut, I'm afraid you are going to do one of your Brother Style - Out of the minister post.

Election has pass, and please accept the fact that MCA did lost badly. But it's not the end of the world and if you put more of your criticising effort into public services, I think you may stand a chance of winning in the coming election. Otherwise you are heading another way.

Whatever gone is gone, look to the future! Test your character! Serve the public to your best ability! Help your brother to rebuild MCA! Stop becoming a crying baby and moaner!

Efficient Service

General Election barely over less than a week, and I can literary see the changes in public services.

Yesterday night I stayed up to watch football game till around 5:30am. This is where I notice the rubbish truck came to collect all the rubbish from all houses, and road sweepers and cleaners were seen carrying out their duty around 6am onwards.

Road condition in front of my house is in such a bad state, that whenever vehicles passed by it will create such a loud noise like earth quake. The road has been repaired several times, and each time it barely lasted 2 - 3 weeks. We have made complaints to town council 3 times over the last 4 months, yet no one seem to care about it and I do not see any workers repairing the road here. But strange thing do happened. Tuesday morning as I was on my way to office, I noticed the road condition felt like new, and there's no more quaking sound heard whenever vehicle pass by.

Is this what we call the Post Election effect? Things that's been complaining for months, and unresolve for months or years, repair works have ben carried out within 2 days. I was really shock, but happy that finally these contractor must do their work properly, or else they are risking to lose the contract. This is just a beginning of what we hope for many more to come. We really hope this newly form opposition party will carryout a good job and serve the public well.

Koh vs Samy vs Ong

Election over now and let see what's happening to those expected winners who lost, personally or party as a whole.

PPP chief Dr Koh lost his election to opposition party and he immediately assumed responsibility of unable to lead the party to another victory by offering his resignation, but the party members persuaded him to stay on. The way he handed over the state government to Lim Guan Eng also shown his gentleman side as well. He hid nothing and he even invited the incoming CM to have a short tour around the office and brief discussion on what's need to be completed etc. He acted in a very gentle and respectable way, which is why most of the public still have a lot of respect for him.

Dato Seri Ong Ka Ting won his election in Johor, but MCA lost out to opposition many of their strengtholds, which resulted in him rejecting any ministry post to concentrate on rebuilding MCA in order to win the trust of public again. He also did not hide away from his responsibility of failure to gain more seats in state and parliment, and he's order all MCA members to learn from lesson and do their best to win back the heart of public. He even accepted failure in leading the party and he is determine to improve the services given to public provided he succeeding being re-elected as MCA President in the coming MCA General Election. This is very encouraging and gentle as he's not afraid of being booted out and he shows he learnt from lesson as well.

Dato Seri Zainuddin who also lost in his participation in the election, also admitted failure and assumed responsibility for his part. He urge all selected members to learn from lesson and serve the public better, and public is their priority. He also congratulated opposition won, and this is an encouraging sign.

There are few more which I do not mention because all of them shall be given credit for their act and sense of responsibility. Except one particular losing candidate, who still have the guts to vowed to fight on and rebuild the party. His name is SV.

Samy looks like has not learn his lesson, and he still living in wonderland that thinking all MIC followers still backing him for another term in MIC office. I think he still not realise he's been toppled and that his time as any sort of minister, senator, MB etc is over, and that there are long list of people waiting and wanting him to be boot out.

Probably just like what most people said, his face skin is thicker than his thick hair (wig) and that he doesn't feel ashame of what's been achieve by his so call downlines. He still think he can rule the party like before and people do not dare to question whatever he does.

Come on Samy! Your time's up and just retire and let the younger generation to fight for your pride, instead of yourself.

EPL Title Wide Open

Arsenal has drawn 3 consecutive EPL games and now only lead 2 points from Man Utd having played 1 game more. So now Man Utd is having a real chance and so do Chelsea as they have 2 games in hand.

Who will eventually win the EPL crown? Can the gunners lasted the pace?

Leave your view here and let's wait for the excitement to come for the next few weeks.

Formula One Season Is Back

Formula 1 season is back. Who do you rate as favourite for this year's title and why?

Can Lewis Hamilton go one better to becoming the youngest world champion? Can Alonso turn back the good time with Renault? Or is it a dog fight within the Ferrari camp?

What about other teams? Who will excel other than Ferrari and McLaren Mercedes? Can the all new designed BMW Sauber break into the top two? Can Honda revive their creditibility? When will Toyota challenge for title? Will the millions of Indian Tycoon buy success?

End of Zakaria Era

Is it the end of Datuk Zakaria's era in Port Klang? Is his death suppose to stop all the speculations surrounding him? Can his death stop all the unresolve cases?

Probably it will be much easier for Z to leave now than later because I think he will have a lot to answer when the new government is formed. He will have to get ready to report to either state office or police station on a regular basis to answer all the doubts that hanging around and whatever involve him personally.

Now that he's long gone, there will be a lot of question marks over those unanswered question. Is it only he himself that involve all these or there are bunch of people behind it as well? Upon his death, there are so many speculations that his death cause is by heart attack, committed suicide, poisoned, etc many more. Whatever it is, we will never know the truth since post mortem result stated he died of heart attack and is now already been buried in his hometown cemetary.

Will all these cases being continuously investigate is waiting to be seen, but surely there are many puzzle needed an answers because too many and too often a doubious transaction and deal have been passed through. So hopefully new government will expose all these shameful transactions and deals to public to show how badly this state has been manage over the last 4 years plus.

Salute Dr Koh

I really salute Dr Koh Tsu Koon for the way he handed over the Penang CM post to the incoming CM, Lim Guan Eng.

Although he is sadden by the lost of Penang state as well as his own election campaign, he still put up a brave and gentleman like face to wish Lim all the best and attending his ceremony. He even invited Lim to his office for taking over the remaining jobs or unfinished work hoping that DAP will carry on developing Penang as like before, which I believe will be the case.

As compare to some other losing candidates, all they knew were to criticised their very own leaders, blaming others of not supporting them, blaming of the Anti-BN screams etc. What they do not do is to investigate themselve why has all the votes gone to opposition? Why aren't the people believe them no more? Where has they done not enough to convince public to vote for them etc.

These bunch of people will only heading one way, which is the end of the road for them. Politic is a realistic modern game, and if you are capable of turning the scene around by your own ability, there's always a chance, but if you only blaming every other thing but yourself, there is no hope for them in whatever they do.

Hope this election will serve as a wake up call for all failed BN candidates as well as the elected candidates that public's vice must be taken seriously!

Hiding Mohd Khir Toyo

After few days of hiding for former Selangor MB, Mohd Khir Toyo, he finally appear. Where? It's at the famour Datuk Z's funeral.

Why has he been hiding since Selangor loses its power to opposition? Why he cancelled few conferences yet appearing in one of his best mate's funeral? One wonder if he's hiding something from the public and new opposition led government.

I'm quite sure he is because eversince they know they lost its control power of Selangor Government, there are few people went into the state government office to 'destroyed' some very important documents. Papers were shredded to pieces, and files were thrown here and there.

It's a sign of something bad happening inside and someone obviously trying to take away things that not suppose to be seen by others. So this documents must be real important to someone, and that he's afraid to face the public should he being question. So he chosen to hide. When the all important witness, or pal leaves, he felt safe and he attended to the best mate's funeral.

So I really hope the new government will take some time trying to trace back what's going on actually within Selangor government, and back tracking whoever of wrongdoing to be responsible for, be it MB, assembly man or just ordinary man. Things has to be controlled and that culprits must be fully destroyed.

Another Disappointed Outings at All England

True to my prediction that Malaysian players will not perform to their true ability in the concluded All England Championship. What's more disappointing is that all our so call top class players, sounded confident prior to the begining of tournament, they mostly crashed out during the early stages.

I wonder what happen to our shuttlers? Maybe they were distracted by the General Election. Maybe they are overly confident and underestimating their opponent. But I from now on will not put in any more hope on our shuttlers to win anything big, and also in the coming Olympic Games.

Shame on you Malaysian Badminton! Oust the president, Oust the sports minister.....

Sportsman at Election Campaign

Yesterday read some newspaper and found out that Lee Chong Wei was at one of the BN candidate's campaign for election. Haven't these sportman learnt from lesson? Are they being used by the candidates to attract more votes?

Last year when Koo Kien Kiat - Tan Boon Heong won the All England and Swiss Open, they were the nation's hero and immediately they were flourist with all kinds of interviews and activities, including the campaign for one of the Johor By-election. Then what happen? Their performance dropped sharply and it took them months before regain that little bit of confidence, which was then easily shattered.

Now it's Chong Wei's turn. I think probably he's been advise by his beloved coach, Misbun Sidek or Youth and Sports Minister, Azalina to stands for the election campaign activity so more people will be attracted to their speech. What these dumbs doesn't know is that this will eventually affecting their performance in not only All England and other up coming events, but eventually will affect their performance badly in the more important Thomas Cup and Olympic.

Let's not forget that they are only sportsmen, who is trying their best, putting all their heart out to try to make Malaysia proud by doing what they did best. Let's not diverting their attention into something irrelevant or else by June and August come, we will start scratching our head and tail trying to find out why our sportsmen always perform badly when it really matters.

Watch out all you sportsmen outthere! Beware of the unnoticed danger of distraction!

Two Days To Go

2 more days and we are facing the biggest test for the last 50 years since independence. Can we change it? Will it stay the same? What will happen whoever wins the 12th GE? Cabinets in Pakistan, Australia, Thailand and France have changed, US is going to change too if everything is according to survey result. Why shouldn't this happen here?

Since Abdullah Badawi steps up, there is a significant change in our cabinets, government setup, and things happened around. Whether it's for good is up to your own discretion. For me it's definitely the other way.

Why don't we give our self a chance to help giving others who really wanted to serve the community the chance to show what they are capable of doing. BN has been saying opposition always talk with no action. But have they really think why no action being taken? It's because they are not in the position to take any action.

At least they are fighting for the community for their rights, as well as serving them trying to develop, but majority of the time they were reduced down to ashes because whatever the suggestion or action intended, all will be thrown out by the person in seats, and that's what they call saying but no action.

I think this at least is better than those who sits in the position just to enter office early in the morning to catch up sleep because of late night work almost everyday. We don't need these kind of representative, we need someone who will work for the community. Sitting there criticising opposition yet doing nothing is much worst than saying, wanting to act but no way through!

Wise up folks. Vote for the ones that act more than "hard working" person

Cheats

Read newspaper this morning and noticed one of the top leader from MCA urging Malaysian do not vote for cheats. I think this statement is very very true and public should not vote for cheats.

For whom the cheats he referred to may be different from what we (majority of us I suppose) refer to. I think we should be matured enough and wise enough to see who the cheats really are. We have been given them so much time to prove their worthiness, given them opportunity to help us for the last 4 years, let alone the last 50 years, but what do we get?

After the most one-sided 11th election, we all are convinced the new cabinet will bring more bright future to the public, and we will get the opportunity we may not enjoy before. What happen after? All we got is all sort of problems, corruptions, unfair treatments, and many more cases which is not convenient to mentioned here.

With no disrespect, I felt a lot of our thoughts and voices were heard, and swallow down the throat by the party and not heard anywhere else in the cabinet, which probably is forbidden to do so since 2003 and anyone disobey will end up like Datuk Seri C*** KC and C*** SL. That's the price you pay for not following the instruction. So can we really trust MCA anymore?

As most voters are at least an inch wiser now, we should really see who the cheats are in this case and truely I hope public will vote for someone who can work for public, help the public, and bring forward together the society, and most importantly listen to public constantly, not once every 4 years.

Penang CM

What on earth made BN think they will win the Penang state for sure? Why do they pre-fix the new CM candidates? Is this a sign of internal conflict within BN? I certainly hope this is the internal conflict within BN for this state, as this will expose the weakness of BN as well as giving opposition party the chance to manage the state.

When rumours started that there are two possible replacement for Dr Khor Tsu Khoon that would be taking over as Penang CM, out of no where it was said Teng Chang Yaw is already Prefixed as the next Penang CM. This has created unrest problem within the party itself before election, and if this is truthful, probably the two previous mentioned possible replacement will fight for their life against person from same party, and they will then ignoring the opposition.

Whatever is happening within we will never know, but what I want to say here is that BN is not a trustworthy party and I certainly hope this election will teach them a lesson, and hit them hard for once.

Freedom of Media?

12th General Election is just around the corner. Over the past week I'd read a lot on what's been said and written. One major thing I noticed is that all newspaper has never publish the campaigns launch by opposition parties.

What's been written and published were all the personal attacks, unsporting and ungentlement like of speech given by the so-call BN candidates. I just couldn't imagine if these people were to be elected to lead our government. They all acted like child-play through the campaigns, starting all kind of unrelevant personal attacking, even the educational minister, DPM, PM and other high ranked ministers.

In other view, opposition launch attacks on BN candidates based on their inability to fulfil their promises made, and proves were even shown on some case, and they now act more like a matured and responsible candidates. Unlike previous elections, these oposition candidates do make survey and studies prior to their speeches.

But all these were never ver going to be shown to the public because it's a case of showing the incapability of the dissolved government to lead our country moving forward, and also trying to implemented an image that oppositions are doing nothing, where BN were everywhere.

I think most voters now are generally smarter and more educated comparing to previous. So hopefully we will have a fair and square straight fight between BN and oppositions, at the same time giving media to publish the truth of everything, not just siding one party and ignoring the others

Shameful BN Candidates

Since the nomination date, campaigns was launched everywhere, be it BN, DAP, Keadilan or PAS. Much has been talked and written about. So what have we seen there?

For personal view, I notice one major thing during these campaigns, BN candidates all uses one common tactic, which is personal attacking. From small minor candidates all the way up to BN leader, Abdullah Badawi.

I felt ashame of having such person being our PM for the last 4 years or so because he seems that apart from personal attack, he has nothing good at to show to public why he should stay on for another term as PM. He still has not learn his lesson. He still giving out empty promises which is impossible to materialise, he still give out empty hope to public that they would develop this and that.

All these are bullsh*t from this stoned-faced "outgoing" PM (hopefully). From the Port Klang Freetrade Zone we could see that after RM 46 Bil spent and what we got is just a long tall grasses. Then where's IDR? What about East Coast Economic Corridor? When will be the turn of our Northern Corridor? Lately he announced there would be 2 more big development project in East Corridor, which is Sabah and then the RM 134 bil Sarawak Development. May I just ask where would those money comes from?

This morning's newspaper he attacked Anwar Ibrahim, saying if Anwar become PM Malaysia will be dead, which I don't think will be, but if he continue to be PM, Malaysia will be as good as dead an disappearing from the world Atlas. What credit does his words hold nowadays?

I felt it's such pittiful of him, having arrived office well early in the morning, god knows what he does in it, and being so so so hard working till late night. We must be felling a little sympathy towards him for that because he's still trying hard to give hopes to "new lifes"
