Cut Subsidy To Avoid Bankrupcy

Former MAS CEO, Datuk Seri Idris Jaya says Malaysia must start cutting subsidies in order for Malaysia to avoid bankrupt. How true is this statement from Idris Jaya? Why isn't he mentioning about another major cause for the road to bankrupcy?

Malaysia is well known for the subsidies all round, and if these subsidies can be cut for the next 5 yrs, Malaysia would save some RM 110 Billion. Wow! That's an awesome lot of money, and Malaysia could have develop much more with that savings and achieve our aims of becoming a high income country.

Err... hang on! I think Idris Jaya missed out something more serious! There's another factor which resulted in our national bank becoming empty by the day! Yes true! It's corruption! This is the one aspect neither we, nor all the experts can estimate. How much Malaysia has lost due to corruption is beyond our guessing, and only god knows how to trace this.

If the reduce in subsidy is for the good of country, development of country, I have no much comment on this but to accept it as a result for Malaysia to survive. But before starting to cut all these subsidies, have they actually look into or study where has all the money gone? I think with a proper management and administration it is still not that bad, and Malaysia can still survive for many more years to come.

BUT with corruption getting worse by the day, no matter how we trying to save costs, it will not be enough because the more money we have in reserve, the more they will dig it out and propagating corruptions. This has also lead me to a thinking, my personal thinking - BN is now trying to save as much money they could, taking it away before the next GE. Should they lose in the coming election, they would be safe with loaded of money in their respective banks. What is left for the incoming government (if any) would be an empty shell, a totally dried bank account.

So from my own thinking, this cut in subsidy issue is a sign of BN losing confident in the coming GE, hence is ready to CABUT!

New Rules and Curfew for Malaysian Shuttlers

After the failure in recent concluded Thomas and Uber Cups, BAM has finally put a stamp on the relaxation of rules by shuttlers. BAM president Datuk Nadzim said from now on our shuttlers will not enjoy the freedom they used to have, and they would have to follow an army style of training, rules and regulations.

I wonder why only now they set out such rules? Why don't they do this much earlier, and there is no secret of team discipline must follow what is set out. For example Koo Kean Kiat and co can easily go for a night out without nitifying their coaches, and although they do not causing any trouble outside, but it's still not a god example to lead the younger teamates.

At one stage, fairuzizuan, Zakry, Koo Kean Kiat and another player (Sorry forgotten his name) performance level dropped heavily because of the sudden fame enjoy by them, and they are out in town almost every now and then. This already affecting their concentration towards the games, and for some they never recover from it.

So for BAM to impose an army style rules onto the training regime, I think it's a bit too late now, and too little will they benefit from this, but for younger generation of players, I think they sure will benefits from this as they will get use to the strict regime.

Can you imagine to say: "Datuk Lee, go to bed now!" What will that makes you look like? You will be looking like an idiot because what make you think you can give order to a Datuk? Secondly they have been enjoying their training life all the while and suddenly all these are gone, I'm sure they will take some time to get use to this situation, and I wonder how many of them will ever changed from this.

So it's still the same old tone from me, BAM is talking cock, and all people are wasting their time and effort in enforcing this now!

When Will Samy Vellu Steps Down?

It's been long wait for some within MIC for Samy Vellu to step down as party's president, and last week he finally annouced that he will step down next year. This is good news not only to MIC, but also majority of Malaysian.

It's since some 34 yrs ago after Samy being instate as MIC president, and he's been holding to the post eversince. Within these period of time, he's also holding some important minister post like Construction etc.

During that period of time I believe he's korek enough of our money, and just look at how many cases of failure or sub-standard contruction has been gone through his authority. Most notably were the MRR2 bridge cracking and the parliament house "bocor".

However, he also announced that before he steps down, he will "clean" up the party because there are too many bugs around. So true to his words, he sacked a few members and committees. He's sacking them because these people has been urging Samy Vellu to step down. So those who disobey him, he chopped them first.

I predicted that come next MIC election, Samy Vellu will announce his retirement from politics, and let the young guns to takeover. BUT, there isn't anyone capable of leading the party and hence "SAMY VELLU IS FORCED TO STAY ON" because those capable already been fired by he himself!

Believe it or not?

KTM Land Exchanges for Development in Singapore

Is it suppose to be a good news that Najib surrendered the long disputed KTM land to Singapore after yesterday's meeting with Singapore Premier, Lee Shien Long? Why is the long disputed issue being agreed so fast with Lee and the agreement is not properly announced?

We, Malaysian should be more protected by the government, and as I believe, the piece of land parcel along the railway, belongs to KTM and also Malaysia. Why did Najib surrendered so easily to Singapore the prime piece of land in exchange of the development of that piece of land?

What if Singapore do not intend to develop that piece of land, instead of developing some land just nearby? What are they going to get at the end of the day? Although Najib announced Malaysia will own up 60% of the co-joint company, but the development is still situated in Singapore, and I have the strong feeling that Singapore is not going to develop that piece of land so easily, and let Malaysia enjoying the benefits.

Maybe the government will get something out of this deal, and we, the tax payers are being So Hai again, paying taxes for them to korek out of bank negara's pot into their own pocket....

Agreement on Indonesian Maid

This week Malaysia and Indonesia has come to agreement on the supply of Indonesian maid to Malaysia but we, the consumer and potential hirer of Indonesian maids are all still in the dark over what's the actual agreed term with Indonesia on their maid supplied.

It's said Malaysia has agreed to Indonesia's request for maid to work 6 days a week, and 1 day off. Off-day works will be deem overtime and shall be paid accordingly. This is ridiculous as we've already providing accomodation and meals to maids, and now we still need to give them a day off?

What if these maids mix around outside, which employers would not know their movement during these off days, could be dangerous to employers as well because if they gang up with some outsiders to bring them back home to rob their employers, how could we get the protection from? Moreover these people are fierce and evils, they would do anything to achieve their objective including killing and hurting!

Secondly employer would have to pay a higher levy for foreign workers including maids, which I think is ridiculous as well. Empployers has already have to pay more than RM7,000 to RM8,000 for maids, and there is no security for the employers if these maids run away, worse is they have to pay a fine of RM250 to RM500 if maids run away.

I find it hard to understand why Malaysia government always bound to pressure from others, and agree on whatever their requests are. Is Malaysia really so dependent on foreigners? Why aren't we give them our term and condition for them to agree? Why we have to bound to their request?

The only reason I can think off is that Malaysia has nothing to bargain with others, and they can only agree to what their requests are. Each year Malaysia "imported" hundreds of thousands of foreign workers in, yet we are "exporting" professionals out to other countries. That's the reason behind all these. We have nothing left!

The last stumbling block for Indonesian government is the basic pay for maids. They requested a RM800 basic pay for the maids supplied and I wonder how many of them qualify for such salary scheme? A lot of professionals get only slightly higher than the figure asking for. If our government agree to it, I think it would be better classify Malaysian as tenaga buruk because their treatment is much worse than low class workers from our neighbour.

For me, I think the reasonable basic pay for Indonesian maid is around RM500-RM600 because we have to take into account that accomodation and meals are included in their contract. Also there should be a scheme to protect employers from losing out when maids run away. There are too many of such cases and if government asking Indonesia counterpart to compensate all loses if maids run away during contract period, that would be more reasonable as our BABI NEGARA government should protect their own people than foreigners.

Malaysia Highway Road Surface

For the last few days I've been driving around due to work situation and at the same time there had been heavy rains during the afternoon period. I found out one thing about our highway's road surface, which is a course of concern I think.

I used to studied in UK for several years, and comparing theirs to ours, I think our road surface is not really safe to drive during heavy downpoour. I noticed there will be water accumulated on the road surface, and there tends to have patchy water around the road surface here and there.

This will cause vehicles to losing control when driving over it, especially those with a tyres thread used more than 30% or so. Vehicles will float on the water patch area, and drivers will lose control of the vehicle during that particular period of time. If an inexperience driver hit the brake or steer the wheel somehow off direction, car will be carried away without their control.

I notice these road surface are caused by the smooth surface, which under normal hot sunny days, it will create less noise into the vehicle cabin, therefore a more comfortable ride. As compared to Europe's road surface, they tends to laid it more rough, and will create more noise when driving on it, but this will increase the rate of water dispersion.

Europe's weather as we know is a 4-season weather, which will have mist and fog anytime of the year, which will caused road surface to be slippery. Especially during winter time, road tends to be more slippery because there will be a thin layer of ice on the road surface, which is very dangerous to drive on it. With the rough surface, water tends to flow out faster and thus less water accumulation on road surface.

Smooth surface tends to cause a longer braking distance for all vehicles than rough surface. Smooth surface will give less friction between road surface and tyre, which when brake is hit hard, it will jammed the wheel rotation easier than those in rough surface, which has a higher friction.

Overall, Malaysia is having a very nice infrastructure of road building but in it we will find some danger of it because we would want a more comfort ride. Now I am finding a rough road surfacce is better during heavy downpour.

Useless DATUK Lee Chong Wei

After yesterday's open talk held, I am surprised to hear that DATUK Lee Chong Wei blamed the lack of single shuttlers in the country for his poor showing at the recent concluded Thomas Cup.

Lee CW said the lack of top quality single shuttler in the country has hault his progress in the game, and it's time BAM finding new talent as his sparring partner etc. This is ridiculous and I wonder how many players of Lin Dan's standard are there in China so Lin Dan can maintain his standard of play?

As I believe, Lin Dan is spacially trained by the experienced Tang Shienhu. Lin Dan do not have any equal quality players train with him, and it's his enthusiasms and motivation help himself to achieve what he achieved. If not mistaken, Lin Dan is trained seperately with other players.

Why can't we see a drop in Lin Dan's performance like Datuk Lee? If you still remember poorly Lin Dan played during All England and Swiss Opens, this is a sign of how a top player react after some poor performance. He try to find out where his mistakes and poor performances are, and rectify them quietly, determinely.

I never hear Lin Dan say he lack quality sparring partners, nor he blame media attentions distracting him from his game. Lin Dan also bought a sports car, just like Datuk Lee, and he also appear in some commercial advert showing, just like Datuk Lee. all these are the same, and our WORLD NO 1, DATUK Lee blamed the media distraction for his failure?

Before Thomas Cup competitions, I still remember all people in the Malaysia camp saying Lin Dan's performance has dropped, and he's the different player now compare to 2008 Olympic's. They are right, but only the second half of assumpsion. Lin Dan is really a different player, and he's more unpredictable than before, all towards the better side of his play, not the other way round.

So as I always said, Lee Chong Wei will never catch Lin Dan, and unless Lin Dan retires, Lee Chong Wei will never win a major tournament with Lin Dan in it. Hope Datuk Lee will learn his lesson, but as what he analysed on his own failure, I doubt he will ever improve again.

Open Talk and Discussion By BAM

After hearing the reason for the Thomas Cup failure, I think Malaysia team still has not learnt from their mistake. More so they are trying to put the blames on others rather than themselve.

An open heart talk is held between BAM president, Datuk Nadzim Mohd Salleh and the Thomas Cup squad was held yesterady and all players and coaches were asked for the reason of failure, and surprisingly they blamed the media, officials, and even organisers fortheir failure.

First they blamed culture for their failure. They claimed we are culturally not as strong as China and Korea. What the heck! If you are mentally weak, or not strong enough you should put in more effort to counter it, and not to blame others for your own failure. This showed our players' immaturity and that's why they will never win a major tournament.

Disturbance from media also be blamed for their failure because too much media sources around their hostel and surrounding. Maybe they are right for this point, but I know except China, all other countries facing the same problem, and it's not them to blame for your failure. As a professional you should know and learn how to cope with such attention from the public. Unless you hide in a stadium 24-7, you are bound to expose to media attention. Again this shows our players is trying to put the blame on others but themselve.

Motivation camp prior to Thomas and Uber Cup were also be blamed. This camp suppose to help bring their morale high and mentally prepare for the competitions, but in the end, they were blamed as distraction and too close to the competitions. China too had their own Closed-Door training a month prior to the competition, and the training completed just before they board the plane to Malaysia. They still succeed but our own players blamed for too near to the competition? How can this be explained?

They blamed organiser only allowed them to train at Putra stadium few days before the competition started, and coupled with the failure of Nigeria team arrival on time, they were unable to adjust to the stadium's condition. That's the "main" reason they lost to Japan team? I think they over estimated themselve and under estimated Japan's threat.

Players also blamed the media pressure, as well as the nation's high expectation. I wonder what made them think that teams like China, Indonesia, Denmark and Korea do not have pressure from media and nations. All strong teams are expected to progress to at least Finals because their intention is to win! Moreover Malaysia is playing at the own home ground, so to say so indicated that they still mentally not prepare to go to the big stage, whether home or abroad. Players like Lin Dan and Peter Gade Christensen are expected to lead the country's charges by example and this is more pressure than what Malaysia players had.

World No 1, DATUK Lee Chong Wei also said Lin Dan is more well prepared as compare to him, and he blamed the lack of top quality single player in the country resulting his incompetency against Lin Dan. I wonder how many players of Lin Dan's calibre can we find in China as well? Lin Dan is in the class of his own, and he too was personally and specially trained by Tang Shienhu, just like datuk Lee being specially trained by Datuk Misbun. I can't find any different from this, and Datuk Lee is just trying to shred off his responsibility and poor showing from the attention.

This sums up our badminton's future, and with current mental state, I just hope all of you out there better put your interest somewhere else because you will forever wait for our player to win us a major tournaments. Olympic silver and world championship runners up will be the best we could have get. (Datuk Lee and Cheah Soon Kit-Yap Kim Hock won Olympic silver medals, Wong Choong Han and Cheah-Yap won World Championship runners up). To win again Thomas Cup, Olympic Gold medal, or a World Champions, better dream than hope! MALAYSIA WILL NEVER WIN.

Champions League Final

Tomorrow will be the Champions League final, to be held at Real Madrid's home ground, Bernabeu. It's Inter Milan Vs Bayern Munich which also see the encounter from two of the most recognised coaches of the continent.

Luis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho used to coached Barcelona in the 90s, where Jose is the assistant to Luis. Final's encounter will be their first since and we are expecting a classico encounter from both teams.

Bayern Munich is a traditional favourite for the final because they had won the cup for 4 times, as compare to Inter's two I guess. The last being 48 years ago. So is it time for Jose to put that tumour behind them or Luis Van Gaal's team reclaiming Euro's elite competition once more?

Whoever come out winner, I think it's a worthy champion because they had been through almost all the strongest opponents along their way to the finals. I just hope we can witness a classic final match, unlike the previous few years, which is quite a bored games generally.

Who you think will win?

Shameless Bung Mokhtar

After being caught wedding for the 2nd time "illegally", he's been handed a 1 month jail and RM1,000.00 fine by the Islamic court. The punishment handed out is way too lenient and it's by no mean of regretful feel from Bung.

Whenhe walked out from court room, the way he and his new wife acted is as they have no respect to the Islamic court and also the public. How can a MP act in such manner and it's as if they are giving a bad example to the public that 1 month jail and RM1,000 fine is of no pain to him. The horny new wife also showed sexy pose in front of the cameras, and she too has no respect to the Islamic court as well.

More importantly, from the verdict handed out, Bung will still be Kinabatang MP, and there will be no 12th by-election since March 08. He will continue his coward act in the coming parliamentary house, and he will again started his old trick all over again in the house.

Compared to some PKR and DAp's MP, they were handed a fine of RM3,000 and banned from attending state assembly session for 1 year because they had said something BN don't like to hear. This is Malaysia, and only can happen in Malaysia. Government will do everything they could, be it legal or illegal, to try get back the 2/3 majority in the parliament house.

Barcelona Win La Liga With Style

After a long season with 38 matches gone, Barcelona has won the 2009-2010 La Liga title with some style. They defeated their last opponent on their home soil 4-0, thanks to the magical Lionel Messi and Pedro. Of course all the Barcelona team as well from coach, Pep Guardiola down to the team physio etc.

This year we have witness some stylish play from the mighty Barca side, who has been labelled the beauty of football. They play with their own style, continuing holding of ball, passing around at ease, keeping possession and making opponents chasing like cat and mouse. This is their style and they are playing with it regardless of their opponents.

This is truly a footballing style of their own, and I respected them for what they achieved over the last few years. Players like Lionel Messi, Iniesta, Pedro, Pique, Xavi and many more. They play as a team, and no individualisms in the team, unlike Real Madrid, who's hundreds of millions spent can't get them a trophy.

Apart from the lost to Inter Milan at the Semi Final stage of Champions' League, I think they have done their best in retaining the La Liga with only 1 lost in the whole season. The lost to Inter Milan is not a shame to Barca because they also demonstrated their style of football, but just lost to a more tactical Jose Mourinho's brickwall tactic.

Lesson Learnt from Thomas Cup Failure

I wonder if Malaysia and BAM really learnt from the failure to win in the just-concluded Thomas Cup competition. Few days after the tame defeat to China, I can only see all blames and excuses given by BAM, coaches and some "important" people from government. There's no course of action being planned or effort in finding a system that will improve our players' capability.

First our coaches kept saying "Datuk" Lee Chong Wei has played well, but lost to a far better player, Lin Dan. Koo Kian Keat-Tan Boon Heong already given their best, but also lost to a more consistent and fast attacking players etc. Why can't they just accept that we are weaker, we lack the class and ability to compete in major tournaments?

From what I analysed, I first think Malaysia got over confident base on home ground advantage, which can be a nightmare like what Malaysia gone through last week. Few weeks prior to Thomas Cup competition starts, all they care to mentioned was only Lin Dan. They are acting as if they would win both their double matches against China and the deciding factor will be "Datuk" Lee Chong wei and Lin Dan.

After watching their performances last Friday night, I don't think Malaysia can ever beat China eventhough "Datuk" Lee Chong Wei win his match against Lin Dan. Put aside China, Malaysia never really put their hearts for other teams such as Indonesia, Denmark, Korea or even Japan. Resultedly, they lost unexpectedly to Japan, who is hardly known as a Badminton powerhouse whatsoever.

This is the first and only major shock for Thomas Cup competition for years, and Malaysia's weaknesses already exposed after this match so badly, that I think China has the time to start drawing up a plan to counter every of Malaysia's move. So when Malaysia narrowly scrapped past Denmark team, I guess Li Yongbo already started laughing because they knew all Malaysia has got and only a miracle will defy them.

So rather to say I'm dissapointed with Malaysia Badminton team, I would say I'm expecting them to lost somewhere before Finals. On current form, they will have difficulty to get past a resurgeon Indonesia team as well.

Congrates to Wong Ho Leng

Congratulation to DAP's Wong Ho Leng's slim win over BN's Lau Hui Yew in the concluded Sibu by-election. This is a hard fought win for DAP and after the dissapointing defeat of Hulu Selangor by-election last month, I think this is a good and encouraging sign that Pakatan Rakyat still has a chance to fight with Barisan Nasional in the coming General Election.

Keep up you good work DAP, PKR and PAS. We need you and you will always have my support regardless of anything!

Sibu By-Election

At one stage last night, I started to suspect that BN is playing it dirty again after initial count showed DAP has won the by-election by a 2,651 majority. They didn't release the official result in the dispute that postal votes count do not telly, hence was recounting it.

There were total of 2,500 plus postal votes, and if let say all of them voted for BN, the majority would then be down to about 100 votes, which is by far less than the 1% required for a recount. Then my worry started that during the recount, some phentom votes would then be mixed into the original pool of votes. This will then make BN the winner.

Fortunately, at the last count, and official result released, it was shown that DAP has won with a majority of 398 votes. So this result has also shown that Sibu voters are more rational, and sensible. They do not bound to the sweets and cheques promised and/or distributed by BN. They voted based on their wish, and who they seems more capable of helping them in the area. In the end the by-election shows BN and PR are 50-50 in the area, and there are more works to be done in order to totally wins the area from all voters.

When Hulu Selangor by-election was won by BN, all these BABIs started to shout that people have dumped PR and their votes swinging back to BN now. Moreover Sibu is a stronghold of BN, and now they lost one of their stronghold, I just want to see what can they say now. One thing for sure is that Perkasa will have something to say!

Berjaya Group Obtained Football Betting License

I remembered not so long ago some organisation strongly rejected the idea of legalising betting, especially football bettings. But yesterday it was announced that Berjaya's subsidary company, Ascot Sports is officially been awarded the betting license and they are now the legal site to place your football bettings.

Is this a good news for all punters? Yes it is a good news for punters because they do not require to place their bets in the underground betting groups. They can now walk in to any of the 200 plus legal shops to place their bets. No hassle and no worry for police to scoop them away!

My main concern here is: Why BN suddenly made a U-turn on betting license? Not so long ago when this idea was suggested, it attracted all sort of criticisms from everywhere, and no one, especially inside the BN government's. They strongly oppose to the move, and strongly stated that this is an Islamic country and gambling and drinking is strongly prohibited.

Still remember hulu Selangor by-election? Datuk Zaid Ibrahim was labelled a gambler for "owning" a race horse, and he was called drinker with a bottle of unopened whisky in his hand. What will this made compare to legalising betting license to a well-known conman tycoon?

Maybe Pakatan Rakyat's inside information is right about Barisan Nasional's MPs. They are all worse gamblers and drinkers. Maybe in the near future Malaysia will really be a multi-racial country, and everything the world can accept can be found in Malaysia including prostitution! That's what I'm waiting for! Come on BN! Issue the prostitution license quick since you awarded the betting license.

Another factor, which I personally guess, is that our government is broke, and they have no more funds to spend, which causing them to issue the license in short space of time, so a huge amount of betting tax & duties can be collected. Each week the amount of betting stakes could be more than 10s of millions, and this is a low cost operation industries, and I'm quite sure government can easily collected hundreds of million betting tax from this alone.

Good or bad, I'm waiting for the prostitution license to be awarded!

Controvesial Gathering from Gertak

Why is the controversial gathering organised by Gerakan Kebangkitan Rakyat is approved in the first place, and worst still in the name of "Bangkit Melayu", and they chosed to stage it on the very sadden day in the history, May 13.

BN has since months ago keep mentioning of 1Malaysia, no race differences etc but the moment they approve such assembly and/or gathering, it's already show they say one thing, and at the back doing another. Isn't this an act of trying to stir up tension between races? Isn't this a totally different direction to the 1Malaysia concept? Why Najib has to approve such gathering, and then stand out to "advise" them to call off the gathering?

To me it's a clear cut thing that Najib is quietly approve such controversial moves, then he will be the first one to jump out to calm things down. This will not only shows his sincerity side towards other races, at the same time he would pleased those Malay groups of activists. Very smart of him to have such move, but I'm also sure there are smarter people out here who knows his dirty tricks.

So no use to me! Whatever this fucking Najis government do, I will never ever support them whatsoever.

Salute to Nigeria Thomas Cup Team

When it was announced that Nigeria could not make it on time to play Malaysia in the opening day of the competition, I presumed that they would not even board their flight to come over to play a meaningless games.

But I was wrong, and totally wrong. Although they were disqualified for both their matches, they still turned themselve up to play the match against Japan. The result will not change even if they win the match, but they still came out to courts, enjoying themselve, playing against higher ranked opponents, with the attitude of learning from the best.

This made me salute their effort and their sportmanships. I truely hope they would baord the plane on time to come to Malaysia to play against anyone because they are so keen to learn. This make me think of our own players, especially Fairuzizuan and Zakry.

Fairuz-Zakry was once ranked 4th in the world, and they have the opportunity to become even higher in ranking, but they are too arrogant, and cocky after winning just 2 minor tournaments in Indonesian and Singapore Opens. They act like they have already won the World Championship, Olympics, All England and other major championships. Their performance eversince has dropped dramatically and never recover from then on.

So this has put us, Malaysian into shame because with the resources and background we have, they are not keen to improve themselve, while Nigeria, a country not famous for Badminton, is so eargerly learn to improve or gain the experience of playing at highest level. Nigeria could have just fax over a simple note to IBF stating they missed the flight and pull out of the championship, but they do not, and with limited source of fund, they still come here to learn.

This is what made me most salute them in their attitude and fighting spirit. Malaysia, Zakry and Fairuzizuan, can you?

Does Malaysia Stand A Chance With Denmark?

How do you rate Malaysia chance of qualify to Semi-Finals against Denmark tonight? Is Malaysia over-rated themselve? Or is it purely an accidental and one-off lost to Japan last night?

From the performance of all the players last night, I do not see Malaysia qualify for the Semis. Lee Chong Wei played well against Kenichi Tago as he should, Koo Kean Keat-Tan Boon Heong also performed up to expectation. Then came the catastrophic match for Wong Choong Han.

Wong should have won the 2nd Single match, but probably due to aging legs and lost of stamina he is unable to keep pace with the opponent. If Wong Choong Han play again tonight, I doubt that he will recover in time for the 2nd single match against a much-improved Jan O Morgensen. Not mentioning about Fairuzizuan-Zakry, whose performance is well below novice standard so nothing much to talk about. Hafiz Hashim, or should we call Habis Hashim, he never really put his heart out to play for the country, and from the way he played, I guess he's playing for the sake of completing the routine. Win or lose is not as important for him.

Should Lee CW and Koo-Tan win their respective match, do you think Malaysia will win any of the last 3 matches? Maybe Malaysia will again suffer the humiliation of losing the match 3-2 after leading 2-0 up! This is very likely will happen tonight, and if any of you are hoping Malaysia will put up a fight against the Dane, be prepare for a few boxes of tissues so you will wipe yourself up after seeing Dane celebrating their win.

I'm not looking down on our own team, but it's their attitude that worry me. Wong Choong Han may played his heart out but reality is he's a lot slower than his opponent, and he's losing out on stamina as well. Second double pair, be it Fairuzizuan-Zakry or Woon Thien How-Ong Soon Hock, they are no where near the standard of the Danes. Unless Danes themselve perform to below sub-standard, I don't see Malaysia snatching this point away from the Danes.

So I predicted this match will again come to the deciding match of 3rd singles. Mohd Hafiz Hashim vs Jochim Pearson. How do you rate this match after watching Habis Hashim played last night? I sincerely don't feel Hafiz will have any advantage over his opponent because his inconsistency, his lack of concentration and his inability to change his game when the chips are down. I believe Jochim will win this match in straight sets, and this will make the final score 3-2 to Denmark.

I hope my prediction is wrong, and we will again watch Malaysia step out to court on Friday playing against the defending Champion, mighty China.

What are they doing?

I don't know what's going on with Fairuzizuan and Zakry's minds. Yesterday's performance is sucks. They were once regarded as one of the top doubles in the world, after winning Indonesian and Singapore opens back to back. They beaten almost all the world's top pairs to obtained the 2 titles, and suddenly they were like on the ninth cloud!

Unfortunately their performance since then is going downwards, which I think is norm for a Malaysian players. This happened to Lee Chong Wei, who fortunately buck up and reignite his enthusiasms and motivation. Koo Kean Keat-Tan Boon Heong faced the similar problem after winning 6 of the 7 tournaments they competed, including Asian Games, GP finals, and of course the All England titles.

Their performance went downwards after all the hypes and praises put on them, and it's all depends on how the individuals feel and face it. Some buck up and moves on, but like Zakry-Fairuzizuan cases, they do not, they started to blame each other, played individually, do not trusted their partner no more etc. This is all the more obvious last night when they played against the Japan's 2nd double pair.

In usual circumstances, I think they would have beaten their opponent quite comfortably. However last night's game was a totally different scenario. They must win their game in order for Malaysia to confirmed the winner point, and with Hafiz Hashim's game rated at 50-50, they felt more than ever the pressure of winning. Subsequently we can see a landsliding performance from both Zakry-Fairuzizuan.

They started to crumbled when they failed to killed off shots, and when shots kept returning to their side of the court. They even don't care about tactics set by coaches, and advises given. They began to played as if they are playing singles. There isn't any understanding nor encouraging words from each other. Worst of all, Fairuzizuan still managed to find time to argue or even tried to have a fight with supporters, who booed them. Is this what Malaysian team left?

My personal point of view is that Zakry-fairuzizuan is not suppose to even be in this team. Based on their past year result, which I think only once qualified for quarter finals, and the rest is either 1st or 2nd rounders. I believe Malaysia still have a lot of other young talents, but unfortunately were not given the chance, even their performance is by far better than this 2 morons.

We cannot expect a player who regularly skip trainings, turned up late for trainings, and heart is not in Badminton no more to carry the burden of winning Malaysia's challenge after 18 long years. Maybe BAM will realise after another 18 years that this pair shouldn't be put on board Malaysian team, and that they would stand a better chance of fielding an inexprience but more motivated young pair!

Maybe we will hear something from the double chief coach, Rexy Mainarky in the coming weeks, and I suspect Rexy will still be in Malaysia's camp come next tournament in somewhere! Speculation has already been flying around that Tan Kim Her is hired to replace Rexy, who went mad at BAM because the apointment of Tan done while he's on holiday back in Indonesia. Since then I hardly see Rexy smile, to be frank. I know there must be something going on within BAM itself!

Malaysia Thomas Cup Squad

It has been 18 yrs since Malaysia last won the Thomas Cup, and this year is seen by BAM and our naive government to have a strongest chance to win the competition again. Now I would like to analyse, base on my personal view our Thomas Cup squad for the time being.

There is no doubt that our "World No. 1s" Lee Chong Wei and Koo Kean Keat-Tan Boon Heong are the automatic choice for the team, but other than these we have no other competent players to be consider able to carry the weight of winning the cup for our nation.

In singles, we have not find any world beaters, or any potential players of high quality. There have been a few youngster who once considered as bright future stars, but they lack the opprtunity to compete in international levels. Players like Tan Chun Seang and few others who performed well during their youth tournaments time, but progress has been slow since because of one reason - BAM doesn't send them to international tournaments often enough. So they lack the major tournament's experience.

Wong Choong Han and Mohd Hafiz Hashim were once ranked in world top 10, but they are already in their 30s or approching 30s, so they are alreaady in the circuit too long, and their skill cannot improve much further. I'm not saying they are not good, but there are much better, improved players out there we simply do not have the competencies to fight. Young players are more energitic, more urge to win, and they are faster than our old legs. So I think it's time BAM put aside all their internal politics and start focusing on letting young talents get the exposures.

On the double pairs, I wonder why Zakry-Fairuzizuan still manage to get into the team! Over the last year or two, they have been playing well below par, and their results in international tournaments were very distressful to watch. Why still they are in the Thomas Cup team? Experience? I don't think they are in the team because of their skill, experience and dependability. They are in the team because someone wants them in!

Zakry and Fairuzizuan is well know to have skipped training for no reason, and they were given warning by the then head coach, Rexy Mainarky, but still they don't change their attitude, and they always come in late for training and they are not motivated in training. This pair is a big liability for Malaysia team, and in view of Fairuzizuan's reaction after the lost, I am very sure that my 6th sense is correct, someone wants them to be in the team for the sake of ****!

Another issue with BAM is they will interfere with coaches' job, although they know nothing about training program. Malaysia had already hired and fired almost all the world's top coaches, yet they are still standing at where they were, no improvement at all from out shuttlers. At the end of last year, BAM announced that they have hired Tan Kim Her without Rexy's knowledge at all, I already know there must be some agenda going on within BAM to get rid of Rexy.

Believe it or not, Rexy will sure leave Malaysia team after Thomas Cup, and I can already foresee the decline of Malaysia badminton even further. Not only Malaysia will not catch up with Chinese, Indonesian, Denmark or Korean, but they will soon lose out to teams like Japan, India and other up-coming europe teams.

Arrogant Malaysia Got What They Deserved

I've wanted to post this title for long, but afraid of the backlash from many of you out there and I may be label disloyal to the country. Now I couldn't care so much, but to give a harsh lashing on our Thomas Cup team as well as our Badminton Association.

Prior to the Thomas and Uber Cup tournament held in Malaysia now, our BAM has been talking about how to beat China, how we would put up a team capable of competing with Chinese, how Lee Chong Wei can beat Lin Dan, how to conquer China's weaknesses, this is their year of lifting Thomas Cup after an 18 yrs gap and many more craps.

Yesterday they can't even beat a novice Japanese team, let alone of winning it. Before mentioning of other teams' weaknesses, I wonder is BAM really know where their own weaknesses are? It's been years since we've found a new talents, and maybe we have a few, but due to their limited exposures, the progress has been halt to almost a standstill.

You are right that China, Denmark, Korea and even Indonesia are still putting up an almost same line up as last campaign, but they are all of high quality, and capable of winning as well as dependable when needed. Ourself? Look at Wong Choong Han, Mohd Hafiz Hashim, and the 2nd double pair, they are the team's major weakness, yet no one in the BAM see this coming.

I'm not saying Wong, Hafiz nor Zakry-Faruzizuan are not good, but they are getting aging and worst of all they are not consistant anymore. When come to pressure they may be able to take it, but stamina wise they will lose out to their much younger opponents. For example, Wong Choong Han lost not because of skill, but because of the aging legs and stamina. Zakry-Fairuzizuan lost because they were unable to control their emotion on court. Hafiz couldn't take the pressure of the deciding game.

To win the cup you will need a more balanced team, not just to depends on our "WORLD NO. 1s" These 2 alone is not enough to win you matches. If Lee Chong Wei happen to beat Lin Dan, I just wonder if Wong, Hafiz and Zakry-Fairuzizuan or Woon/Tan (Correct me if wrong) are able to beat their opponent. Tan Boon Heong-Koo Kian Keat may or may not beat Fu Haifeng-Cai Yun, but the last 3 matches is already decided before it even get started. So to beat a more balanced China team, we have a very tall order, and almost impossible task of beating them.

So let's face it, Malaysia is still not equip to win the Thomas Cup just yet, and until they could throwaway the internal politics aside, they will never win the Thomas Cup again.

Car Thief of Selangor Police Chief

What can we know from the recent car thief of Selangor Police chief? If a police chief's car can be stolen, then what about the citizen out there? Are our properties fully protected by the police?

When news of the police chief's Proton Perdana being stolen is spread out, I think most of the people out there must be shaking their head because they will feel the anxiety of certain things.

What made it more ridiculous is the thief actually "given" back the car to the owner, and what made it more sacarstic is that he/she actually left an apology note stated that he accidentally "swoop" the car. (Sila Sapu)

Does it mean thief actually has stolen more cars, that he/she doesn't mind giving back one, in order not to create hassle from police? Or is the thief trying to tell the police they will give back the car, but another is on their list, so there's nothing lost from them?

The note left is actually a challenge to police and it's now down to police on how they would tackle this problem. If no action is taken, I believe the public owner of vehicle can ready to pay higher premium to cover their car from lost and stolen!

DSAI Sodomy 2

Yesterday's statement given by the victim, Saiful about his sodomy case by DSAI is a laughing stock of the whole world. He claimed he was sodomised by DSAI, and that he "cleaned partially" after the incident.

I just wonder how a person can clean himself 'partially' after such thing happened? Under normal circumstances, when a person is being raped or sodomised, he/she would wants to clean him/herself up quickly so all dirty things would be cleaned off. Unless Saiful is not normal.

Another issue is that hospital report also stated that Saiful's "asshole" is not being penetrate, nor is there any sign of penetration of hard object into Saiful's anal. His explaination of this is a lubricant is used so that there isn't any sign of penetration.

I think this lubricant used must be somewhat a very powerful and high quality of lubricant because this can make such smooth rubbing between the penis and anal. I think if this company started to produce lubricant for vehicle, it will be a world best seller because of its high viscosity lubricant.

This case is becoming a joke for the world, and it's a waste of our money, tax payers' money. It's very clear this case is a non-existent case, and the actual motive is try to get DSAI from the street so come next GE BABI NEGARA will have greater chances of retaining 2/3 majority in the parliament.

Recent Incidents Involving Police

For the last 1 to 2 weeks we can almost heard some news involving policemen. First is the shooting of Amirulrasyid, then came another woman claimed to be shot by police, follow by another one being shot during a chase suspected to be mat rempit, and the latest being a bystander been shot by stray bullet.

Are all these a coincident or is it pre-planned? Why suddenly our police could face such a lot of problems with their forces out there? From my personal opinion, all these started to sprayed out because of the first shooting of Amirulrasyid. I believe these types of cases had been happening out there for a long period of time, just there is no one bother or care.

When Amirulrasyid was shot dead, he's being family of a high rank personnel, and what make it worse is that police claimed that Amirulrasyid possess a PARANG with him, that enable and trigger police to open fire at him. I just wonder how a driver of a vehicle can threaten another's life while he's on the wheel?

So the reason police given to public is already a mistake, and moreover he's just a boy. This is what made it unbelievable for his family, and when they demanded for a report of the incident, the family were shock and they decided to exploded this issue to public, so this would be judge by the people.

Then came other cases, which I believe has been reported to police, but to no avail. Sure enough our police will protect their own boy, and subsequently this case went AWOL. Until now, this is the opportunity and they all stood out and show the world what our police here is good at, and how ridiculous our policemen are.

I think it's time for our police force to have a total revemp, including stripping off all the high rank officers, and put in a new bunch of capable people to first clean up the police image, and secondly to get back the people's confident in them!

How Police Try To Shred Responsibility Off Amirul Shooting

In the case of Amirulrasyid's fatal shooting, we can see how police are trying to shred off their responsibility in the whole scenario. Azamuddin Omar, the only survival in the car being shot by police had been question by police "3 times" since the incident last Monday.

This innocent boy is just a passenger and he's been giving statement of the whole incident to police again and again. But this is not enough for police because the statement is clearly not beneficial to police, so they are trying to question the boy same thing, but different way probably to try find any inconsistency in his statement.

Now I know how smart our police are, and in doing so, I guess the boy would not withstand the pressure of questioning by policemen, and probably, just maybe they will use some threatening words during questioning, or giving him some sort of pressure so Azamuddin would bound to the pressure and then finally drop the case against them.

If this were succeeded, the this bunch of idiot police would stand out loudly claim this boy is being misleaded by opposition party, or lawyer so image of police would be damaged. How smart are they in doing so.

Huh! Why opposition involve in this case? I think because this is being brought up by DAP's Gobind Singh, who's famously involve in another case against the BN-lead authority - MACC in Teo Beng Hock's "suicidal" case. So we can see from these how powderful this BABI NEGARA government is. They are VERY GOOD at finding scapegoat rather than finding the truth!

No More Trusted Policemen In Malaysia

Few days ago there's a big case, which police was accused of shooting an innocent, which causing the innocent's life. Yesterday there's few policemen during a road block operation in KL, turn out to be the perverts, demanding women to flip their dresses or posing sexy posture in order to "waive" their compound!

This is the actual scene of police forces, and no wonder our country's crime rate in increasing at almost a veticle line. How can we live in here peacefully with such bunch of morons around, and we suppose to depend on police to save guard our safety, yet they are the one turn out to be the culprit itself.

To ask for such demand from woman is a humiliation to the woman and police themself, and what more trust could we have on these idiots? When met at police station, the culprits still manage to smile and give an obscene looks to the victims. This is totally out of control and order.

I believe if this issues is brought to parliamental house for debates, one of our big mouth friend will started having a go at these women stating because they dressed too sexy, which policemen can't resist, but to try seducing them bla bla bla.... Sure this will be mentioned I bet against you.

I think government should really take immediate action to heavily punish such kind of act or else they will be booted out to become real BABI NEGARA.

Unregistered Voters

Today's news says that there are still 4.3 million eligible but still unregistered voters in the country. This is quite a lot of them out there and if these people would just take up their little time to register for their right to vote.

Maybe these group of people just think there will be no different whether they vote or not before because BN will still have the majority in the parliamental house, but as we can see in the last GE, our votes can change things. So hopefully these people will just quickly register with national registra and come next GE we just need to help each other by putting the cross on the party we think will bring the country forward, make our life safer and more harmony.

Vincent Tan Moving for Cardiff City FC

News of Tan Sri Vincent Tan and partner is acquiring for Cardiff Football Club. This will make me laugh because I think he will soon entering the gambling market in there as well.

Can you imagine seeing Vincent Tan sitting in the director box watching football games? I doubt it very much and I suspect he's more interested in those blondes and brunnettes aaround him more!

If Vincent Tan is buying over Cardiff, then be ready to see Cardiff City being promoted into Premiership and win the EPL title as well as qualify for Champions' League competition because Vincent Tan will buy over all the oponents standing in his way!

Government Push for GST

Why our government keep insisting on applying GST to consumers? Why must they push ahead the GST? Is GST beneficial to us at all? Will this put more misery into consumers and low-income person's life?

The only thing I can think of government pushing ahead the GST resolution only leads me to one thing - government is running out of money! Why I say so? First from the day government launched the 1Malaysia Fund, it is actually wanted all people's money to roll, and without this they will face financial difficulties. Then came the New Economy plans or whatever it calls, which worth total of RM 6,000,000,000.00. Then came the 2nd economy plans or whatever it is, which is another few billions of RM.

After all these I think government cannot push for the 3rd economy plan or anymore funds, so the only way for them to get the money is through GST. By imposing GST, no matter who you are, you will have to pay 4% GST on all items purchased. This money will go to government and they will be the major beneficials of this. We, the citizens and poor rakyat will gain nothing, but losing almost everything to the government.

I would rather lose my money to some other more constructive and worth things than giving to the useless government because apart from taking money out from Bank Negara, they did nothing to the country, area or anything giving back to rakyat. We pay our hard earn money every year through income tax, and now we still have to pay GST?

Just look at the recent by-election in Hulu Selangor. How much money BN has thrown away? It's been 50 years they controlling the area but no development or whatsoever going on in the area until the recent by-election, these stupid assholes just pop-up and giving the money away just like throwing rubbish. At the end all they care is the parliamental seat for the area, not the development.

Just that we can see how broke our government is right now, and if this bill goes through, I'm sure a lot of us will be suffering out there!

Rafael Benitez's Sour Grapes

The EPL season is almost over, and I think the maajor talking point is not Man Utd, Chelsea nor Arsenal, but Liverpool. Before the season started, Liverpool was seen as one of the title contenders after their strong showing last season, where they push Man Utd all the way to the end of season.

However this year is a totally different story for The Kops. They fell behind early in the season and they never recover from then on. Throughout the season, we have heard one common moan by their manager, Mr. Rafael Benitez. He's always been criticising their board for the lack of fund during the summer, their inability to sign "major" players and the sales of pivotal players as their main reason of failure.

This has been talking too much and taking too much as Liverpool did signed Alberto Aquilani and few others. Their mistake was letting Xabi Alonso go to Real Madrid, yet no replacement signed in for this slot. They actually did try to replace Aquilani but players are different, and there's no direct replacement.

I feel that Rafa Benitez should get on with his job using what resources he had at hand to try bring the best out from them, rather than criticising his own boss throughout the season. This also shown that Benitez is not the person to bring EPL title back to Anfield because of his inability to bring out players their best.

Look at Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea, they too released their prize assets, yet they could still sustained the challenge. Most notably when Man Utd let Cristiano Ronaldo go to Real Madrid, but Sir Alex Ferguson is able to bring in another prize asset in Wayne Rooney. Arsenal released Emanual Adebayor to Man City, yet they are still able to stabilised their squad surrounding Cesc Fabregas. Chelsea didn't sign in too many players but still Carlo Ancelotti can make used of the current crop of players to create another empire of their own.

All these are the examples shown by great managers, but sorry to say, Rafa Benitez is a sore loser, and he's just an amatuer coach, an ordinary coach. Liverpool fans out there you may condemn me for saying so, but I believe Liverpool is at a wrong hand and it would be for the benefits of the club to let Rafa Benitez go to Juventus, where he's speculated to have GBP 80 Mil to spend on new players in the coming summer.

I just want to see how far can he go with the funds he has!

What You Get For Going Against Police

What happened to Amirulrasyid Amzah is everyone's guesses. But one thing for sure is that policemen should not have fired at a suspect's head unless their live is under threat.

The poor Amirul is only an underage driver who's maybe afraid of being arrested for illegal driving, or some other non-life threatening act, but as to why policemen were firing at him without even he's any weapon with him.

What leads to police believe that Amirul is a dangerousman, and that their life is under threat? I think no one can answer this and from what I know, a policeman cannot open fire at suspect unless their life is under threat. Also if suspect is having a dangerous weapon, and it is pointed at them.

Police chief Musa Hasan said investigation is underway, and everything will be disclose to public on their findings, but I'm sure they will find no evident to prove police forces is wrong, and that Amirul deserved his death because of his refusal to stop upon request.

Next time when we see policemen, it's better we avoid them as far as we could. For over the last 20 years, I don't see any policemen doing a good job except for catching speeding chaps, walking around asking for Ang Pow, catching those talking on phone while driving, without fastening seat belts, and other simple yet relaxing environment things. That's what we need to protect us???

BN Empty Promises

Just after few days of winning Hulu Selangor by-election, BN again twist and turn their tounge yet again. This time they denied having agreed to scholarship for those Chinese with distinctive results in SPM. This is the words came out from the mouth of one of the BN minister.

I think this is the beginning of many more revenge steps employed by BN towards Chinese for their failure to support BN. It is revealed that almost 80% of chinese votes went to PKR's Zaid Ibrahim, and first Perkasa's dickhead Ibrahim Ali said all promises made to chinese must be withdrawn because they do not repent.

Then came this fucker to denying students with distinctive result in their SPM exams. Why all chinese? Why not they do it on other races who don't vote for them? Why is it always Chinese the one who got on the receiving end?

I would like to ask another question here, which is what has MCA done for chinese community? They only promised their "Scholarship" before by-election, and straight after they don't get a thing because of their lack of support towards BN.

So this is what we called honours party from BN and this is what we call 1Malaysia campaign, and this is what Najib called equality! These are only 2 of the few things happened, and we still have lots more unknown coming our way!

After Hulu Selangor By-Election

A week after by-election in Hulu Selangor, BN had kept some of their promises and delivered as promised. This is good for the locals there, and it's them who deserved what they got after such long time under BN's development of the area.

Their assemblyman, Mr. 1Malaysia Kamalanathan deliberately came to announced to reporters that BN has fulfilled their promises before by-election, and it's time for the locals to support BN again.

This is all bullshitting and barely after a week, how much can BN really deliver? Whatever they are delivering now is just to try freshen up people's mind since the by-election had just over. RM 3 Mil to SRJ Rasa, payout to all felda settlers etc are just to act and deliberate show to the media so lots of good comments would published.

Although BN won the by-election, but this doesn;t mean that people are gaining confident in BN and that BN will stand a stronger chance come next GE. I will just have to wait and see what can they do to prolong their hold onto this seat.
