General Election is coming!

Finally after weeks of waiting, Pak Lah had announced that the next GE will be held on March 8. Good to hear that and hope all the smart voters will vote for the people who are really capable of contributing to the society rather than just by party.

Just wondering what party will you guys vote for and why. As for me I will definitely vote for people with capability and trust worthy, be it BN, DAP, PAS or Keadilan. We, majority of Malaysians had suffer enough over the last 4 years and now is the chance for us to let known our feeling. Government on this hand kept saying they heard our complaints, they are planning to do something about it etc. All this are just to calm us down and hope we will continue to vote for them so our requests can be resolve.

I'm sorry BN. It is a bit too late for this now and also Malaysians are now a lot smarter than few years ago, when you promised so much yet deliver so little. We have had enough of you and I sincerely hope this coming GE will teach them a good lesson so we will be able to move forward rather than like now.

Man U sucks!

What happen to Man Utd? Probably they are too sad about what happen 50 yrs ago that they can't concentrate on their game. Probably the jersey they wear just not comfortable at all that all players felt funny during the game. Maybe it is suppose to be a sad day for all the devils' fans.

Whatever it is, I think Man Utd isn't consistent enough to win the EPL this year judging by what is going thru the team for the last 2 - 3 weeks. First they barely scrapped thru to get a draw against in-form Spurs. They now suffer their first home defeat this campaign and to add insult to injury, they lost to their bitter city rival, who had done a double over them this term.

Maybe they depends too much on Ronaldo and Rooney. Maybe Paul Scholes has upset the team balance thus far this season. Maybe players still get jet leg from the trip to Saudi weeks ago. All kind of synthom shows Man Utd is currently going through a rough patch and it is the best time for their rivals to take advantage to make up ground on them or pulling away from them.

I, as a Man Utd fan, do not want this to happen, but it did happen. From my observation, the current dip in form started when Paul Scholes is put back into the team straightaway after his long lay-off. No disrespect to Paul, he's a great player and any team would love to have him in their team, but being out of the game for 5 months, he is losing his fluent passing and movement and worse is he lacks the understanding that others have forged during his absent.

For this Sir Alex is stubborn enough to take a gamble, which now back fire on him. From the games Paul played, he's way off the pace for now. I think Andersson and Carrick or Hargreaves would form a better central midfield with Giggs and Ronaldo as widemen to support Tevez and Rooney up front would be the best bet for Man Utd to get back on track their slick, quick and efficient counter attacking style of play.

What about your opinion? (Appreciate for your genuine comment. No Anti-Man Utd comment pls)

Another rubbish plan by Abdullah Badawi!

Refer to my last blog I already said Badawi is so good at giving empty plans or rubbish plans. Yesterday yet again he told Malaysian that Sarawak could be a modern and develop state, and that it needs RM 340 Billion to build it.

Let's face the reality! Do we really have that much of money to spend? What about the IDR? What happen to the Northern Corridor he promised? Where do the East Coast Economic Corridor lies then?

I think most of Malaysian are very fed-up and numb with what these two useless PM and DPM said over the months. What they are saying now is purely trying to lift up the nation's spirit and that it's a hint that the next GE is just around the corner, so by saying so they (BN) hopes to attract some voters in their favour.

Surely you all smart voters know where the vote goes comes the GE, and regardless of what they are or trying to do now, tick your vote with your sincere heart and clearest state of mind. Wherever your ticks goes, that's the party that going to serve you for the next 4 yrs plus!

Another rubbish talk by Badawi

I remembered few weeks ago Abdullah Ahmad Badawi did mentioned we are a developing country, and that some of the figures surveys showed can't be taken into account as it was compared to some advance country. So we accepted that statement that our country's standard could only be compared fairly if it's with the same category of countries.

Then last week when I read newspaper he, the FORGETFUL PM said our inflation rate is still amongst the lowest in the world, although it's hitting around region of 5% plus. What a joke he is telling now and then. Why when comparing the good things only with same category's country, whereas for not so good things like inflation rates and petrol rates we need to compare to every country in the world. Is this what we called double standard? Is this happening all over the place here in Malaysia government and administration?

It's a big failure and no one ever has any confidence in the current administration nor government. We just hope BN will lose more seats to opposition parties so they would get kick in the ass and get stuck in to sort out all things promised before. Also for whatever projects and plans announced, they better get it going, up and running, or else they are facing the wrath of public and oppositions.

Wish you Happy CNY

The pig is now gone, and here we welcome the rats. May I wishing all of you have a great year of rats and all success to everyone of you in whatever you do.

Another Sad Bus Tragedy!

Not so long ago we had heard of few fatal bus tragedies one after another within short space of time, and then action was taken to clamped down on reckless drivers, overrun buses, illegal bus operated etc and many many more.

That's the way Malaysian government doing things. When something happened, they will start take action and that only carryon for a matter of weeks only. Then when things quiet down, their action follow too. That's the typical example of Malaysian government efficiency.

They talk too much rubbish and they only good at talking. Action wise, only when nations making noise they will do something just to keep our mouth shut. But reality is they are so incompetent, incapable, inefficient, and lazy eventhough the law and regulations are there to be implemented. No wonder our society is getting worse, and people started to making so much noise as compare to previous time.

Why all this happened only recently? People here have had enough of this rubbish government, and it is up to the point where people like us couldn't hold any longer and there bound to be somewhere for us to release. Unfortunate for us our voice will never be heard because our words will be treated as traitor, inpatriotic, and we are most importantly to them are against the law. We cannot talk or criticise government. We can't talk bad about our government. We must say yes to whatever they said. We have no rights to everything unless you are politician under the banner of Barisan National. We will be in deep trouble if we act against all the above mentioned as well as anything they (government) would not like to hear.

That's why we are going backward, and that they think what they did is all correct whereas others are all wrong. So folks, you should know where your precious vote goes to when GE comes, it's just around the corner, where I can smell it now.

Let turn this "Strict, no-nonsense, talk more than do, only care about the 2nd wife of his" PM around.

On The Spot Summons

There are 6 offences which could resulted in on-the-spot summons being issued:-
1. Talking on phone while driving
2. Dangerous driving, which may resulted in fatalities
3. Overtake while on double line
4. Driving in energency lane
5. Speeding
6. Breaking red light

The above are all offences happened most and which may resulted in casualities if any. So compounds were set and those who breaks such law have to folk out cash to settle the "BILLS"

While saying that dangerous driving will be cause driver's licence being removed, and worse summons to be paid. Has they think of imposing such law on motorists as well? Everyday on my way to and from office, I faced such problem. The reason is so many motorists like riding on the outside, rather than in motocycle lane. This is consider dangerous as well, and casualties may be in danger as well.

Riding outside on highway not only endanger the other drivers, but also risking their own life as well. So this should be classified as dangerous riding and endangering other motorists' safety as well. Hence an on-the-spot summons shall be settle immediately even by motorists.

So in order to standardised all this, isn't it true that motorists who ride outside on the highway road will be sanction/summon. Otherwise it's like what a lot of people said - A double standard government / authority.

Time for Rafa to leave

Is it time for Rafael Benitez to leave his seat as Liverpool Manager? Has the pressure of winning EPL caught up with him? Is he being too big headed himself that causing Liverpool's downfall?

At beginning of the season, when Fernando Torres was signed by Liverpool, so much was expected from this Liverpool team to perform in EPL. So much has been expected from the current crop of players, and follow is the high expectation from the Liverpool team filled with bunch of talented, skilled and experienced players.

To have players like Stevie G, Jamie Carreghar, Hyppia, Alonso, Torres, Pennant and much more in your team is a blessing, and be able to put them out on field to play together is even better, and on paper Liverpool should be as strong as any other EPL team, if not stronger.

Sir Alex had been following Fernando Torres for 2 yrs before interest cooled down due to long negotiation and chasing, and Dirk Kyut is not a bad player either. Stevie G is as usually influential as ever for Liverpool, and with these players in your team, coaches should be able to just throw in any instruction to them and they will taking care of themselve.

Yet we could not find all this in the Liverpool team. Why? I think the answer is Rafael Benitez like changing the team line up so much that players do not understand each other well enough to perform to their best ability. Secondly Rafa is a bit too big headed into thinking that by rotating the team can give more freshness to the players, which he already ignoring the team understanding is as importance as freshness.

If not mistaken, just look at any other top team, they keep their first 11 as close as possible because by playing together longer time period will create more understanding between teammates. That's how Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea succeeded. When Jose Mourinho in charged of Chelsea, he tried to keep the same 11 as much as possible so that performance and understanding between players will carry forward into the next game.

Imagine when Liverpool is playing so well now that these players understand each other's way of playing, then next game you got to adapt to new way of playing because different players are around you now. That's why Liverpool will never get a consistency required for a championship winning team.

I still remember Claudio Ranieri and Gianluca Vialli used to do the same at Chelsea, and what happened then? Same like Liverpool. They could play games of their life now, and next game they will lose to a much lower ranked team, or even worse team play was totally out of sort. By rotating team squad will be better suit cup competition because these games doesn't come week in week out. That's why Rafa won the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions' League, but could not sustain their good performance into EPL.

That also sums up: In order to win EPL, consistency is a must, and in order to achieve consistency, team understanding is a must, and in order to have team understanding, playing together week in week out is a must. Understanding do not come by talking or listening, it must be done through practice or match play.

To summarise the whole, it is time for Rafael Benitez to hand in the resignation notice, or waited to be given big envelop by Tom Hicks and Gillette asking him to go. I think the second choice would be a better option for Rafa since he will also receive his BONUS together with his big envelop. Just look at Sven and Jose when they left their respective post in England. Instant multi-millionaire now!

Why so much noise made for Beckham Exclusion

I do not know why so much noise has been made for the exclusion of David Beckham in the upcoming friendly against Switzerland! Fabio Capello has been appointed as England's Manager and faith should be shown by all fans and supporters regardless of his nationality.

Over the years Fabio has proven so many people wrong, and he will surely again prove all his doubters wrong by guiding England to a new height. Whether England will win a championship or tournament is yet to be seen, but one thing for sure is England team certainly will move forward with Fabio Capello in charge. His past records also shown that he's the type of coach who doesn't believe in big name players, but trusted match fit players.

Fabio Capello has proven in the past that only the match fit players will win games for the team, and the most recent is during his in charge of Real Madrid. David Beckham is first dropped out of Fabio's team, and when things went wrong for Real, Beckham was recalled, and when he's fit, he won Real some games, which proved important towards their title. Although during the beginning of seasons, rumour has been saying Fabio will ship out David Beckham comes January transfer window, but what is actually happened is Fabio Capello recalled David Beckham just at the right time, when team needed him most.

So David has indirectly, if not on his own brought the La Liga champion's medal to Fabio Capello. So I believe Fabio Capello knows very well how good a player David Beckham is, and how important he could be to England team when fit. So it doesn't matter whether David Beckham will win his 100th cap next week or next month, so long David Beckham believe he will win it sooner or later.

So to all moaners out there, stop making it a big fuss about Beckham's exclusion and put your faith in the man you should be proud of, and feel lucky to have as a Manager / Coach. There are so many teams out there trying to lure Fabio Capello to their team, yet he chosed England. So English fan should be rather glad than complaining.

Festival Restriction

Just listen to news earlier and was surprise to hear that DBKL has imposed new rules during CNY festive season yet again.

It is not news anymore that DBKL always comes up with ridiculous and nonsense regulation. It was said that people are not allow to celebrate the Chap Goh Meh (Chinese Valentine's Day) by throwing oranges into ponds, lake or sea. That's the tradition things that Chinese did over the years, and why would they suddenly come out to put a sanction on it?

Is it because KL has all the while being controlled by DAP, and now that GE is near they would want to make a stamp of themselve? Is it because they have too much time to think of something nonsense? Are they being paid to do such wasteful thing while there are many more meaningful things could be done?

Probably it's time to change the whole DBKL management and person who runs this council. It's been too long since they last did something meaningful to the KL city and we certainly do not expect them to do it in the future as well.
