Sufiah Yusof self confession

It's a stark contrast that our government is trying to help once math prodigy, Sufiah Yusof. Government or authority here is trying to find out why she would fall to such lifestyle and chosen the way of life like this. They were willing to land a helping hand to her in order to get her life back as it is.

Today's newspaper read that Sufiah has no regret on what she did and that's the life that she chosen and wanted. She does not need our help here and she's happy with her own life at the moment.

I was thinking why on earth we wanted to care for it in the first place? Is it we the one that causing all this? If our government really wanted to help others, they should look more into this as there are hundreds of thousands of Malaysian located overseas that need help.

I'm not being cruel and sacarstic, but if a person do not want our help, it's better we put that help to those who really needed it!

Badawi Fightback!

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi fight back to all critics thrown at him. He finally losing his patient at those people trying to oust him from his post, and those who sabotage UMNO during the recent election. He's getting tough on those who do not follow instruction or do not obey his instruction.

This is the true character a PM suppose to possess, act and react upon challenged. That's how a successful leader must do when challenged. A good leader must forseen what's coming and what he's facing. That's how our former PM did during his 22 yrs of tenure.

Sadly to say now, it's a little too late, too little Badawi could do to salvage his pride as Malaysian PM. He could say whatever he wants, he could answer all the critics thrown at him all this long, and he could even explain everything needed to the nations to clear things up, but there's of no use anymore because BN has losing its intergrity and credentials. They acted like a sore loser since the 12th General Election, and they are now just trying to find fact to cover up all their inability to run the government.

Why did he answer all the critics now? Why don't he answered or question back the person who throw doubts at him there and then? If Badawi did answered all the doubts people have on him then, the damage would not be as great as it did now because people will tends to understand or at least clarified with their doubts. Now that things has got out of control, and by getting angry and fought back the way he did, it only make others to have the view of he's trying to cover up his own mistakes and incapability by now accusing others. That's exactly what BN's losing candidates been doing after 8th March 2008 till now.

And worst still is Abdullah Ahmad Badawi himself repeated himself with such act by accusing UMNO members sabotaging the party, Tun Dr. M's discomfort comments, Razaleigh's comments, and many more. Why only now you clarify yourself? Probably he's been trying to find an excuses from being the one to be blamed for the failure in the 12th general election. That's why he's been so quiet for the last 3 - 4 weeks. Finally he gathered information needed to spare himself from being bombarded.

Another issue is he still has not clarify the corruption issues. There's been so much corruption in his administrations, that people have been questioning him. Why does he switching topics when this is one of the major issue needed to be look at? Has he done anything to prevent or bringing down the number of cases or solve the cases? This is the first promise he gave to the nation when he took over from Tun Dr M. He wanted to clean up the government and he will make sure this government is run cleaned! What happen? It's not only didn't clean up, but the problem got worse, and it containminated the whole of the government right from the top till the very bottom levels. That's what he meant by cleaning up the act.

There are too many cases and issues Pak Lah wanted to solve yet not solved. There were several cases too that he promised the nation but could not fulfil them, yet containminate them further. That's a lousy leadership quality and that explain exactly why BN failed under his reign.

Last piece of advise to Pak Lah: Better to step down sooner rather than later. At least you can step down with your head held little higher now.

Penang CM Probe

What has Lim Guan Eng said that police wanted to question him? Who the hell is that made the police report so Lim Guan Eng will be questioned and possible jail term? Isn't this another low level, cheap tactic and backdoor idea trying to dispose of DAP-PKR-PAS lead Penang?

Although police clarify it's only questioning and nothing beyond detaining the Penang CM, but this has created a precedented example for others to fully utilise this idea trying to get an upper hand over the opposition lead state.

No doubt all this must be a plot from BN, who is still feeling the pain of losing 5 states to opposition. They are now really doing whatever they could trying to unsettling the people towards new state governments.

I think people are now a lot smarter than what these bunch of idiot BN members thought. All the while BN has been underestimate the power of people and when lost like they did in the recent election, surely they couldn't accept the failure. Now they are thinking of everything they could, sensible or not they will try dislodging the newly formed government.

Like I said many times before, if BN don't improve their intellegence, soon they will be phased out and be put into musuem! Opposition, or better know now as Pakatan Rakyat will be doing their best to try to stay on as the governor for the existing states, plus trying to grab the other states from BN's hand. Then we will definitely seeing a new government in the forming!

Arrogant Real Madrid

It is very annoying to read news after news from Real Madrid that they are interested in this player or that player. This has been their trick in signing on players by unsettling the players using media rather than knocking on club's door to acquire for players.

FIFA must do something to teach this bastard a lesson like banning them from signing players for so and so years, hefty fines, demoted to lower league etc. Since this cocky ass Cadelron or whatever name he is took over as Real President, he's been using this tactic to unsettle players that he wants, and each time he got away with nothing act against him. FIFA is like operating on different laws to different clubs.

The latest outburst is by Real's coach, Schuster insisting that in 2 years time Cristiano Ronaldo will be wearing Real's shirt. Come on Schuster, lick my ass before you say so. What make you think you or your stupid little arrogant club can get Ronaldo away just like that? It makes me felt disgusted as such big club like them don't go through proper channel to acquiring players.

Sepp Blatter is also another fat ass sleeping on these issues. Is it just because Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world that make him keep mum on this issue? Or Real has paid a hefty sump of money to shut his mouth? I do not respect this type of clubs and/or the character of their leaders. It is what they deserved when they were beaten by Roma in the 1st knock-out stage of Champs League. It would be even nicer if they don't win the Spanish La Liga, although they are unlikely to lose it now.

For me I would rather not watching football if there happened to be left with one good football club in the world. It make me felt sick to death!

New Proton Saga

Last week when I was in KK, I rented one car, which happened to be the new Proton Saga. As a Malaysian I am proud of the achievement of Proton Saga because this model has been there eversince its launch back in 1985. It's been 23 years and still Proton Saga exists.

Back to topic. The car has quite a nice external looks, and the design is also quite fashioned as compare to its predecessor. With its stylish look and design, I'm sure many would be attracted to have a view on that car.

What about the interior? The first moment I sat into the car, I can feel the classic design combined with the comfort seat installed. Without touching anything in the car, it looks like the car is well equipped and designed. But when the car move, I can hear all kind of sound from every corner of the car. Be reminded that the car is only 2 months old.

So when by the touch of side door panel and dashboard, I was amaze that such material would be used in the car. It's all plastic, thin slice of plastic combine with some cardboard on certain area. When car move into cornering, sound of plastic rubbing each other can clearly heard. It has created such unbearable noise, and at the first instant I thought 'this is a low cost car. Do not expect too much of it'

I was thinking what if the car is used daily and constantly parked under hot sun, will these plastic things bent and deformed? How long can these plastic interior lasted? From previous experience, plastic under hot sun will deform quicker and due to its frequent expansions and contractions, you will see a curvy dashboard and door panel in it.

So to spend RM33k to buy such car, I still think it's not worth. It's better to get another more expensive car than spending on such low cost car.

KLIA Won Awards

First of all we must congrates KLIA for winning the top award in 15 mil - 25 mil passangers category. From the first day KLIA been put into service, it's one of the most beautiful and nicely designed airport. So for KLIA to win such award is not surprising.

One thing is quite surprise to me is the feasibility of KLIA. It has been built on such a large scale and it's been expecting to reach certain level of passenger annually. Unfortunately KLIA do not meet this target (to my opinion) and it's such a waste of resources to built such a big airport where all the utilities are not fully utilised.

As compare to LCCT nearby, the amount of passenger isn't far from the main KLIA. That shows how incompetitive KLIA is and comparing to our neihbouring country, KLIA suppose to be at least on par with them. Yet they are far from these airports. Probably Malaysia Airport Berhad should rethinking of combining back both the LCCT and KLIA in order for the KLIA to be fully utilised. Otherwise it's just another landmark, which is wasteful.

As for Malaysia Airport Bhd, they should conduct a full study and post mortem on why KLIA loses out to our neighbouring airports. If they still insist fault is not in them, then save all your breath for other thing. There will be no hope in these people anymore as well as the KLIA.

Control of Mobile Phone SIM card

Government has enforced that any person cannot own more than 10 mobile phone SIM cards. It sounds like a good idea, but how can they ensure that any person will not own more than 10 SIM cards? How about those who previously owned SIM cards (on paper) that they no longer used? How far will the dealer go to ensure that a customer do not own more than 10 SIM cards at the same time?

It may look easy to control such thing, but if it would be easy to handle, ministry would have done it long time ago and steps must be taken to ensure all these. What if a person who previously own a SIM card, but changed to another and the original no longer in use? What if a SIM card is lost? Do the consumer need to report this to police station so they would be able to delete their name off the ownership list?

If only a prepaid card, do you think telco company will spend so much time and effort, and moreover money to implement such irrelevant things? The reason why telco company comes out with Prepaid card is because they want to save the trouble of billing, chasing payment, registration etc. If government insist on such rule to prepaid service, I think very soon we will not have any prepaid service anymore since it's more troublesome than a postpaid service.

If government wanted to punished certain group of misused users, and sacrifice all users' convenient, then the move is totallywrong and it's a definite backward way of doing things. That sound more like the government policy as they tends to go backward rather than forward!

Ex-MB Mohd Khir Toyo

Ex-Selangor MB Mohd Khir Toyo vowed yesterday that he's did nothing wrong and that the opposition formed government can investigate on him to prove his faults. Why would he said so more than 3 weeks after election? Why wouldn't he said so upon knowing the fate of Selangor losing its state government to opposition?

All this is because Khir Toyo has already destroyed most of the evidence and also the lost of his 'friend'. For the last 3 weeks he has been checking on all source to make sure whatever evidents are destroyed and that no one would ever know what's wrong has he done. That's why he can now openly say 'check me if you want'.

Probably PKR-DAP-PAS should continue to check on all relevant documents and should not give up on investigating this ego guy. He should be put into jail and should never be forgiven on what he's done over the years. I hope evidence will be found sooner so we can shut this cocky guy's mouth once and for all, and most importantly putting him and all the associates into jail because they all deserve such sanctions.

Bravo Man Utd

Man Utd prove again they mean business after last night's win over Roma at the Italian Capital.

The way Man Utd play, I think there isn't many people would bet against them winning the hampions League this year. They are solid at the back, creative and control in the midfield, and really lively in attacking. Not since Barcelona few years back have I seen a team performing so well during a European games.

Anyhow, this is only the 1st of 2 legs tie. Eventhough they have a 2 goals cushion, they must be aware of the backlash from the Roman. I still think Man Utd will progress to Semi Finals without much problem because they are such consistent playing at home, and with the crowd's backing, they always performing extraordinary. Hopefully they can repeat last year's result or better. If not, I would still happy to settle for a goal-less draw.

Kedah MB Car No Plate

This morning read about news that Kedah new MB's car number plate was shown to have Jawi on it. And someone mentioned this has unsettle the chinese community in Kedah because they are afraid of PAS declaring the state to followsuit the Islamic Laws.

I think this is bullshit and the person wrote it must be a BN member. He or she is trying to unsettle the chinese community in the hope to win back the state by or before next election. I think there's nothing wrong to have Jawi put on the car's number plate as long as he doesn't openly declare that Kedah will be converted to Islamic state.

I believe the new Kedah MB is smart enough not to play the racial card after witnessing what's happened. To gain the support of state people doesn't lies on religion, but all people within the state. There's no advantage of him doing so and I'm sure he's looking to serve the state beyond one term. So for 'someone' to write this out is clearly a playing card and stupid tactic of him suggesting such idea.

So people out there we should not be too bother by this and we shall just take a step back and see and judge by ourselve. One thing I'm positively sure is that BN is a sore loser and they will do whatever it takes to win back the state. Do not blame others but yourself for losing the state because people will not opt for change had you done a good job outthere.
