Country's Image affected!

Street Demos has hampered Malaysia's image in the international stage. For whichever country a street demostration will surely bring bad image to the country, be it advance country or developing country.

There were few street demonstrations happened in Malaysia recently, and this has brought our country's name temporarily famous, but for the wrong reason. Such act will scare off foreign investors, as well as affecting our peaceful life in Malaysia as a multi-racial country and society.
With such demostrations going on and off the time, we would not feel safe going out on street, we afraid to meet someone trying to brainwash you to support their act etc.

So isn't there be any better way of voicing their dissatisfactions? Is it true only foreigners can voice out our dissatisfaction on our behalf? Why would we involve foreign parties to such act, when there can be a better solution within ourselve.

Initially I thought it was true that our government treated different races unfairly, but things has got out of control and from what I'd heard, our people has been supported by foreign parties to carryout such street demos so their problems are being look into.

As a smart Malaysian, we must be clear and smart enough to judge who's right and who's wrong. People supporting you and urging you to do certain things doesn't really mean what they said. We must be clear and rasional to know what's right and wrong.

Hopefully problems could und a solutions or answer sooner rather than later and that no such street demos will hapen again.

Comparison of Street Demonstrations!

Recently Malaysia has been hit with a few street demonstrations which are affecting our lifes. But did the police forces really need to use forces to push back the demonstrators like what they did?

Just look at what happened in France, their demonstration situation is far worse than ours, and their demonstrations not only assemble on the streets, but they did actually burning cars, destroying buildings, hurting other innocents, and worst is someone got killed during these demos.

So comparing it to ours here, police shall not use excessive forces to try backing off these people unlessthere are some minority who is taking advantages of the demos to carryout such erratic act and causing problems. From what we can see, there are some minority inside these groups that is infuriated the majority and try urging them and affecting their emotions to turn things ugly. Surely these people shall be treated with appropriate act, whereas the innocents shall be left alone peacefully.

Troublesome at registering for authorised forwarders/shipping company

It has been turned from bad to worse for our custom department in Port Klang. Previously we can appoint any forwarders (Max 3 per company) at anytime by the person in charge of office. Nowadays it has chaged and need the company's director, whose name appeaed in the company's registration form to write in.

This has cause so much problem, especially foreigner owned company, like mine. We have to go around the world to get the director just to sign the letter of appointment, and what make it worst is that they would require a local to be that director.

How on earth do they expect a local to own a 100% foreign company? Any person with brain would know it is not neccessary a local to be in board of directors for foreign company. Does it mean government or custom department is indirectly insisting foreign company o have some sort of Bumi shares in its company?

This is ridiculous and is moving away from their aim to become an important and complete internation port. This will only cause more problem for companies, and it will not only scare away foreigners, but also prolong the port handling time. That means they will never be able to compete with any other neighbouring countries' ports and that they are wasting the strategically located port its advantages because of all these senseless regulations.

As for me, it's not a big deal to acquire for our management signatory, but imagine if all these are minory affected each, it could added up to a huge loss and it will only do harm to its credibility and losing its potential 'customers'

Why people don't us Pedastral bridge?

Why people in KL dont like using pedestrian bridge for crossing roads? Why government spent so much on constructingsomething where people don't utilised?

Yesterday I was driving along a main road and it's a rainy day. At one point when I trying to overtake a lorry I saw a guy who is standing right in the middle of a two-lane road, which I nearly runs into him head-on. What make it worst is that the pedestrain bridge is just right in front about 30 meters away.

What happen if I run into this guy? Would I be charge for murdering unintentionally? Just don't understand why these people have such low road safety awareness. It would nice if they are more considerate forother road users, as well as their own safety.

Another issue relating the pedestrian crossing bridge, is a lot of crossing bridge isn't safe for pedestal. Why? It is because it is dark, covered by signboard, dirty, and this is the kind of place where robberies happened most. If "lucky", you might just get a stab or two. Worst is it might costs you life. So we can't sometimes blame the pedestrian for not using the crossing bridge.

What should we do to encounter this? Please comment

Download at your own risk!

Domestic Trade and ConsumerAffairs Ministry has told the public they will face prosecution and a minimum fine of RM 250,000 for illegal downloading of songs, movies and the likes. Is this really worked to prevent pirated songs and movies beng downloaded?

A fine of RM250,000 is huge amount and I don't think many people can afford to pay such amount. If the person can't pay, what would be the consequences? Jail? Most of all, can this prevented people from downloading the mentioned from internet? Moreover internet is full of such website, where it allows people to download songs and movies. What about sharing the files? Isit consider illegal as well?

Probably our country is in need of money now that they are excercising this law to generate more money from us. This law has been there for 10 years or so, why wouldn't they enforcing it then? Why now? That's why I always said Malaysia law enforcer will only take action when they feel like it, and also when things really got out of hand. Had they excercising this law long ago, probably things wouldn't get this far uncontrolled. Another issue is the more law they enforced, the more LUBANG they can CARI MAKAN. As I said, their pockets are empty and they are hungry! So anything goes now.

Fair To All, Claimed Badawi

It is ridiculous that our PM claimed they have been fair to all the citizens. This is the biggest joke I've ever heard in years, and he still has the guts to say so after what's happening recently. If the nations has been treated fairly and equally, we would not have the street demos, and have that memorandums submitted to overseas body.

It is clearly there will always be some biasness towards Bumis, and we are not complaining it as long as we, non-bumis were well looked after. When Dr. Mahathir is still the PM, we have not heard anything like this before, and although he gave previlages to bumis, but non-bumis also have their fair shares. That's why we would not have this kind of street demos during his 20 odd year as PM.

Nowadays, it is very clear that bumis are enjoying all the previlages, and what make it worse is that these bumis are slowly conquer into non-bumis' or opositions' fair shares. So can we blame them for carrying out street demo? Badawi claimed he listened to us, he is taking action to counter this, but what has he done so far? NONE. He just let the things go by and hope it will slowly dying off by itself.

This is an act of ignorance, and also incompetent. At the same time he is covering all the shitty story up and make us looks stupid. Mind him that we are mostly knowledgable people now, and we are all more sensible people now. If our voices were heard, and being taken care off properly, I don't think we will even talk about it, let alone carryout street demos to attract the attention.

So I sincerely hope this useless, incompetent administration will all be gone after the next election, including Badawi and his womaniser deputy, Najib Razak as well as Hishamuddin and all those useless s***b**s!

Clamping Down On Scratch And Win Syndicates

Government have put their stamp down on clamping down on all scratch-and-win syndycates, which already cheated publics for millions of ringgit. This is a good sign that authority is taking this seriously, and by enforcing such law, surely the number of such syndicates will reduce.

But as to how effective the law would be? And how would public being restrain from being cheated by such syndicate? these syndicate succeeded in cheating publics off their money simply because of one simple word - greed.

As my blog posted before, we should be more aware and mustn't believe into tactics used by the syndicates, and must always keep in mind that "There's no free lunch in this world". In order to successfully demolishing the scratch-and-win syndicates, we must cooperate with the law enforcers, and at the same time, punishment handed to the syndicate must be strong, such as all involved in the scratch-and-win contest, whether employees, owners, or runners will be prosecuted, and sentences will be handed out accordingly.

Also we do hope the authority would not be corrupted and that they would carryout their job properly to completely demolish such act to save the public from being cheated.

Chong Wei the Crying Baby!

As I said so many times before, Lee Chong Wei is just an immatured crying baby. No doubt Chong Wei has improved a lot lately, especially the 2nd half of year. He had won so many titles, home or abroad. Congrate him on this as he deserve his fair share of credit.

Chong Wei became 1st runners up for the second times in as many weeks, and be frank, it's not easy to win qualify to finals for 2 consecutive weeks, let alone winning it. So we are proud of CW for that achievement.

As a top player for so long, I suppose Chong wei should handle situation during matches better than what he did over the last two weeks. You can't always complaint to a line call, and you should not be affected by it really. Line judges are all humans, and humans do made errors sometimes. Unless decisions were constantly against you, then you are right to protest to the extreme extend.

I remember just over about 2 years ago, Lin Dan also faced the similar situation during one of the tournament, and he reacted angrily to several line calls then, and his performance affected badly during that match. Somehow he could pick himself up and carryon with that match, which he won narrowly at the end. What I'm tying to say here is Chong Wei should growth more matured as time goes by, and he shouldn't be affected by a few bad line calls. That's life and you don't always get what you want. There should be a way to encounter these.

Secondly, as I said in my previous blog, Chong Wei will surely brought up his injured knee problem after tournament, whether win or lose. It is such childish and immatured act, and I already told, as stated in previous blog he is sure to mentioned his injured knee giving him problem after long back to back tournament, tiredness, etc. What I want to say is if you are tired, and/or injure, just withdraw from the tournament for your good sake, and don't forget that Malaysia still have high expectation of you and our first ever gold medal in an Olympic games still much depends on you and Men's Double Koo-Tan.

So buck up and carryon with what you do best.

Abdullah gets angry over Hindraf?

Abdullah Badawi gets angry with what happen over Hindraf incident. He is rightful to be angry with them. When a person is attacked, surely anger will takes over emotions.

Abdullah said he was anger with what Hindraf had accused the government of, and that it is not true of the accusations. To be honest, if the accusation is not true, do you really think Hindraf will simply submit something without supporting basic to an overseas society to put our own country into shamble? I don't think so

Abdullah gets angry simply because the accusations are mostly, if not all true. He is feeling the stress of how to answer such accusation when things really happened here. He can't lie, he can't get away with it without response to public. He finds is hard to explain to journalist etc. That's why he is angry. He is lost for answer for such accusation

If the accusation is incorrect, why wouldn't he take immediate action against the responsible parties? Why is he scratching head and tail to find an explaination? Overall, things has got out of control and he himself is losing control over the cabinets, parliment and administration. He is so powerless now he virtually can't do any changes to the existing cabinet at least until the next general election, by which he, Abdullah Badawi may not be the PM anymore.

That's why he angry!

Abdullah is listening!

Pak Lah has said he is listening to the publics on what is going on recently and is thinking of a way to encounter them. How true is it to his words, and is he really taking any actions against them?

From what I see he is really thinking of a way to encounter these matters. He is taking actions against these culprits. But matters he encountered is how to keep these shameful news away from public. Actions taken is to charge and catch the peoson who is complaining.

It is simple, Pak Lah simply afraid bad news against him being spread out and he's trying everything he could to stop the spreading of such. So whoever hold demonstration will be taken to police cells regardless of what it is for.

It is very pathetic that Pak Lah is doing such thing. As a PM he simply loses control over the admininstration and government. Look at his cabinets, people can just do whatever they want and surely Pak Lah won't take action against them. Recent video clip incident, if you ever listen to the conversation, you would notice that not only lawyers and ministers were involved, I could even heard our PM being mentioned for countless time. That means Abdullah Badawi knew what is going on around and yet he is leaving it happened and exploded into such stage.

Why wouldn't these shameful things happened during 22-year of Dr. M tenure? Why ministers or cabinet members were so afraid of Dr. M when he's in power? Why people will have to look over their shoulder before carryout some act? This is all because Dr. M has the control of situation and he has the power to contained such scenario. Dr. M is truely a capable and calibre leader of country. Although I not neccessary like everything he did, but I do have to say I respect the old man for what he did for our country.

Now all his effort is being wasted by this so call "Smiling Incompetent Stone-Faced" PM and if this persist, Malaysia will soon finished.
