Weakened MCA

After the standing down of Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy from the upcoming general election, we would see a weakened MCA line-up in the next general election.

As many people said previously, MCA has been splited into two all the while, namely A-Team and B-Team. Datuk Seri Chan is one of the last leader from B-Team, and from now he withdrew from the participation in the next GE, I can't see MCA have any calibre leader who would do a better job than Datuk Seri Chan. It is unfortunate that Chan was involved, or rather being mentioned in the recent discovered RM 46 Billion wasted on West Port development.

How true is that Datuk Seri Chan is the main culprit for that scandal is beyond our knowledge, but from the way things were judged and conclude, it's quite easy to know that Chan was the scapegoat in the whole thing, and that someone is taking this opportunity to force Chan to withdraw from the coming election. If ever Malaysian agents' work efficiency is at such level, why is the Altantunya and VK Lingam case still in the hearing stage, rather than concluded? Has they really investigated who's the main culprit of the whole episode of the scdandal?

Body languages of some of the MCA leaders during Chan's annoucement clearly shows that everything is all pre-fixed, and that we will see almost a whole new line-up for MCA. It will also mark the end of B-Team in MCA, and we will now only have one team, which means United MCA. Can this be the case? Or we will see a new B-Team or rather C-Team emerging?

Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting always mentioned if we don't vote for MCA, Chinese's voice would never be heard in the parliment, and if he is true to what he said, then chinese's voice will never be heard whether it's MCA or DAP represent the chinese in the parliment, simply because MCA do not have enough power in the parliment, and that DAP is an opposition party, which automatically have no rights to anything or participation. Simple!!! So who should we vote for?

Gen 2 Candidates

In the up coming general election, we will see a number of children or family members taking over from their parents or alongside them. Is this good for the country?

This is a fixed scandals, and why should they be allow to participated in the first place? Is it because their parents were reps before so they enjoy a previlage of getting nominated? For example in Klang Datuk Zakaria is being omitted from the nomination list, yet his son is now being nominated.

Rumous spreaded that Datuk Z involved in one too many of a court case, hence it's not suitable to stand for this coming election. Therefore he nominated, or suggested his son as a replacement to the cabinet so in case anyone who would wanted to take action against him would be dealt with difficulties due to his son's influence. Not sure how true is this, but sound reasonable.


There are others where similar scenario is happening, and people who we do not know or even heard of is being nominated to stand the election. Are these people really up to the tasks? Are they standing for election base on their own ability or because of family influences that make them candidates?

Someone within the cabinet always mentioned we are a clean and fair country and government, but all these are purely textbook talk without any basis, and whatever they did showed otherwise. So how true is their statements and also can we really trust them for another term? I sincerely hope BN will lose more seats in the parliment than they anticipated and they would learn from their misbehaviour and inability to guide the country.

Is this bribery

Government has been approving many projects, like build new chinese school, together with some upgrading, then additional fund for facilities improvement being handed out immediately. All this indicates that GE is just around the conner and that government is doing its best to give out sweets to public in the hope to attract more votes towards them.

In another way, they are bribing the public into voting them, and yet they can get away with it without any hassel. If an opposition party doing the same, they are classified as giving bribes to public.

Why Malaysia will have such double standard law? Government and opposition doing the exact same thing, yet the intepretion is totally different. When government doing it is call looking after of taking care of public. When opposition doing it, they are call bribing the public into voting them during GE.

So we are all fed-up with this government since god know how long ago. Whatever they said we just listen. If we do not agree, just keep to ourself. This way will save us from a lot of trouble. Hope you all smart voters should know where your vote should be casted into.

Clash of Titans

Man Utd is hosting Arsenal at Old Trafford this saturday for the 5th round of English FA Cup. Who do you think will win this clash of Titans? Can Man Utd move out from their slump in form on time or will the Gunners continue their fine forms?

Base on the previous 2 weeks results, form book has to be with the Gunners. But looking at the tie which is play at OT, it would not be easy for Gunners to overrun the Devils easily. On the other hand the Devils will not have it their way either.

So it all boils down to who perform better on match day and who could withstand the intense pressure of out-performing the other. Man Utd have the players to do it, and run the show their way. Gunners has proved over and over again they are no pushover eventhough their team is filled with youngsters.

My prediction for this game got to go with Man Utd because:-
1st - I'm a Man Utd fan
2nd - It's playing at OT
3rd - Gunners feel more pressure than Man Utd as they will be starting the match as favourite
4th - Home supporters will push MU all the way
5th - Devils would not want to lose twice in as many games
6th - Until last week MU only conceded 3 goals at OT and score many more
7th - er...... that's all I could think of at the moment!

What about you? Post your opinion here

Noisy Nite

It's the 9th day of CNY and it's the most important day for Hokkien people to celebrate, even more important than CNY itself.

The reason I'm staying up so late is because the fire crackers sound were so noisy that I couldn't get into sleep till now, and it still continue at the moment. Just wondering what time will it end.

But in another hand, without this CNY will sound so quiet and at least this created some CNY mood among the community. We can still hear some fire crackers around, and this sound more like CNY.

Just wish our "NEW" government will allow some fire crackers to be imported into Malaysia during festive season so the tradition could be prolonged!

Policeman on Federal Highway

Can policeman ride motorbike on Federal Highway? What's the use of motorcycle lane along Federal Highway if bikers are not using them? What will policeman do about it?

I nearly knock a policeman this morning, who is riding a Yamaha SS outside motorcycle lane, in the middle of the 3-lane highway. Just curious what will happen to me if I accidentally run over the brainless policeman? Who's fault is it if the policeman is knock down? Police petrol car would stop cyclists who don't use the proper lane, yet they keep an eye closed when seeing their colleague riding outside motor-lane.

Is this what we call Double Standard?

Need advise on Job Change

I got into a dilemma now.

A friend of mine had been urging me to joint venture with him to operate our own business in contracting firm. I really glad and happy that someone appreciated my ability and also has the opportunity to start up my own business and career with someone's help and support.

Here also where the problem lies. I just switched job into a consulting firm, where I am getting quite a good salary. Also I am having other commitment where I can't take the risk of without job or income for few months. If I get high salary in own company, this will put a heavy burden on the company too.

So what should I do now? Hope to get some advise from generous guys like you out there. Should I let slip this chance go by and stick to the consultant job, or take the risk and get similar salary in own company and fight for its survival in the market!

Crazy EPL Plan

It is quite extraordinary that EPL committee suggested that a match to be stage overseas as the 39th games of the season. What on earth made this guy to have such idea? Is it really works? How fair would it be for all the teams? Would this benefited EPL teams? Is it because they are trying to get more money out from other countries?

All these question can easily be asked when such plan was annouced. To to no surprise, majority of the countries reject such plan to stage a game in their country as part of EPL regular season. It make them look silly and the game may eventually being treated as "Friendly Game" over there.

Clubs like Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea have regularly visit countries outside Europe during the off season to play some exhibition matches, authograph signing sessions etc because fans based there hardly get the opportunity to see their adored players. If games were to stage there every now and then, it would be meaningless as they get to see these superstars regularly here and there.

Also an EPL match to be stage outside its origin vanue, what would it make them look like? Crown or circus? Unless they have the intention of forming another league, that is equivalent to the so-call G14, which consists of major clubs like Real Madrid, Man Utd, Barcelona, Arsenal, Liverpool, AC Milan, Juventus, Bayern Munich, and much more.

This G-14 wanted to form a league of their own, which was then being called off due to settlement with UEFA and agreement being made to make all parties happy. So for Premier League to have such suggestion is nonsense, and it would be a waste of time, effort wasted for nothing. Country welcomed them are those who trying to lure more football fans out for commercial purposes. Other than that, I really can't think of anything better to stage an oversea game for EPL!

Parlimen Dissolved

On Tuesday Pak Lah said he won't dissolve parlimen just yet. This was shown on headlines on various newspaper yesterday, and by noon announcement was made that Parlimen already dissolved.

Probably journalists mis-understood Pak Lah's mean of "today". What he actually meant "Today" is Tuesday itself, and he's telling the truth. Or probably he gave the wrong or unclear indication so that journalists interprated wrongly.

So we can't blame Pak Lah for saying so, and rightly too that things said by Pak Lah never comes true since he became PM.

Don't you think so?
