PAS councillors- Ur mission is to serve the Rakyat!

Well, It was the pre-council meeting held among the local councillors sometime last week. The very first point the PAS councillors concerned of, was not how to resolve the matter pertaining to the masterskill issues affecting the neighbourhood in Taman Kemacahaya, but, how to reclaim the integrity of the " condemned" PAS local councillor! is it so important to this particular guy that the PAS councillors have to think all their ways to reclaim the broken/ruined integrity among themselves? they made a damn big mistake in siding the Masterskill College for some reasons ( i wont tell as i chose not to tell), the Pas fella even directed the YDP to cancel the long- waited meeting among the residents and masterskill, of what reason that he cancell? no reasonable reason ever given, shit the PAS councillor for negleting the welfare n benefit of the people..

In the pre council meeting, i was damn shocked that, the whip of the PAS even dared to " ask" me to produce a press statement stating that i made mistake in condeming the PAS councillor and that, the mistake was originated due to the miscommunication between the PAS councillor and myself. ???????????? well, guys, what do you think? fruz huh? i almost wana slap on the face of that PAS whip! two slaps viz, one slap for them forgeting the mission they were sent to the council that's to help the people and right the wrong. Second slap, they had treated DAP as slave ( hamba) or second class councillor that we must do what we are told! THE DAP KNOWS WELL WHAT IS BEST FOR THE PEOPLE!

i reinstated my point that, no second press statrement would be served. if they insisted, i would serve the second statement to again condemn them, not one but all the PAS councillors for being forgetful of their mission n duty!

Hidup pakatan? not really!

I STRONGLY CONDEMN PAS FELLA HERE, in this personal blog of mine! Serve the people well or, you will be Sacked in the next election!

Kenyataan Oleh Ahli Majlis MPKJ, Cik Carmen Leong berkenaan pembatalan secara " Kilat" perjumpaan antara penduduk Taman Kemacahaya dengan pihak Kolej Masterskil.

Saya berasa terkejut apabila saya diberitahu oleh kakitangan MPKJ secara tidak formal bahawa perjumpaan yang penduduk lama menunggu-nunggukan itu telah dibatalkan. Pembatalan tersebut dibuat pada saat terakhir tanpa pengetahuan saya walaupun saya adalah pihak yang meminta mengadakan perjumpaan tersebut.

Saya ingin mengecam perbuatan Dato YDP MPKJ, iaitu Dato Yang DiPertua, Dato Hassan Nawawi yang menunjukkan beliau tidak hormat pada para penduduk.Beliau membuat pembatalan tanpa sebarang sebab munasabah diberikan sedangkan semua pihak telah bersiap sedia untuk datang ke perjumpaan tersebut.

Dato YDP juga telah menunjukkan sikap tidak hormat kepada ahli majlis , saya yang selama ini mengendalikan kes aduan berkenaan sejak bulan Ogos 2008. Saya tidak dirujuk sebelum sebarang keputusan membatal perjumpaan tersebut dibuat. Apabila saya menghubungi pihak Dato YDP, beliau telah meninggikan suaranya dan memberi penjelasan yang tidak memuaskan.

Dato YDP juga telah mengingkari arahan daripada pihak kerajaan Selangor yang mengarah setiap PBT mesti sentiasa menjaga kebajikan rakyat. Kerajaan Selangor baru ini telah berusaha melancarkan banyak program baru untuk menjaga kebajikan penduduk dan merakyatkan ekonomi Selangor, tetapi dalam kes ini, Dato YDP gagal berbuat demikian, beliau telah menghancurkan hasrat penduduk yang ingin bertemu denagn pihak Masterskil untuk mengadakan perbincangan dan penyelesaian keatas mimpi ngeri yang dialami oleh mereka selama 4 tahun!

Dengan ini, saya ingin syorkan kepada Menteri Besar Kerajaan Selangor iaitu YAB Tan Sri Khalib Ibrahim, untuk menukar YDP ini secepat mungkin agar digantikan oleh seorang YDP yang betul-betul menitikberatkan kebajikan penduduk di Kajang.

Saya ingin juga mengecam perbuatan seorang Ahli Majlis yang telah lupa akan Misi beliau dipilih sebagai seorang Ahli Majlis. Beliau dipilih untuk menjaga kebajikan penduduk, beliau seharus mendengar kesusahan dan kesulitan penduduk kawasan sekitar Kolej Masterskil tetapi beliau gagal berbuat demikian, malah telah memberi sokongan yang sekuatnya kepada pihak masterskill.

Saya mengesyorkan supaya pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tetap Kerajaan tempatan, kajian dan penyelidikan, YB Tuan Ronnie Liu mengambil tindakan sewajarnya terhadap ahli Majlis berkenaan yang telah gagal melaksanakan tugas sebagai seorang ahli majlis yang dipilih oleh Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat.

Sekian, Terima Kasih

Counterpart, Jealousy will ruin your life!

Friends asking me why that i am so slow in updating my blog...well, i guess i have got two reasons for that question:

1. i m loaded with work and, when i do have time, i will surely go rest or watch TV.
2. i have got nothing extraordinary to tell, what to upload then? pretty good that i dont upload, means that my life is pretty stable and normal!

but, tonite, opps, this midnite to be exact( it is 1am in the morning), i have got thing to say... i must voice up, i must!

i have had enough with a counterpart who is also a DAP local councillor. Enough is enough. Guys, what is the mission of local councillors? we are there to ensure that the people in our area are taken care of, and their living environment are harmonious with sufficient infrastructure facilitise.. but, hey guys, i m now facing with this so called counterpart, who has created fraction and problems among the DAP LC in my council.

For DAP councillors in MPKJ, we have got only 6 of us, we are now in a same boat, whoever sinks the boat, all drown. Has he not regconised this problem? he has been so hardworking, not in solving the local problems that brought to his attention, but he has been so so extremely hardworking in creating fraction among ourselves!shit the councillor!

Bear with me, I am hardworking. i carry the mission given form the party, DAP is my master that i must obey the instruction given. Guess i m doing quite find as a local councillor except some troubles given by a false chairman of a resident association in my area. I dint do anything wrong, i m liked and respected by the people.....well, the problem then arises, he feels jealous on me that, he takes whatever chances he can have just to get rid of me...he wants me out of the council.

Know what he is doing? building up great relationship with the reporters by tarnishing the reputation of the rest of us and, leak all news that concerns the DAP councillors to the media...he is burning himself up. I dont give a damn care of how he wana kill himself, what i do concern most is the image of the party, hey, we are working hard for the party, we spend most of the time on party work, what the hell he thinks he is doing?????

Speechless.... my dear counterpart( i dont think i will ever wana name him comrade, he is not qualified for that), you got to pay for what you have done, and what you are doing! may god punish you! amen!

Press Statement on the big rock fall at Venice Hill

Around 10pm 2.2.2009( Monday). Incident took place where few rocks falled down to the road from Venice Hill, Cheras, Kajang. No injury incurred and no one witnessed the fall. the great noise alerted the residents nearby and also the security guard.

At about 12.15pm, tuesday, Carmen Leong received a call from a resident of Venice Hill, report had then been made to her. without further delay, she arranged two officers from engineering department tp go to the site, the MPKJ road gang ( a truck of near to 10 workers) also followed. In less than 20minutes, Carmen Leong and the rest arrived at the site.

Unfortunately, the road gang could only carry out minor cleaning job to barricade the site and clear the mud on the road. This move was to ensure the safety of the road users. The big rock was too heavy to be removed.

After 20 minute stay at the site, the officers from engineering dept, Mdm Komala dan Mr Farizal headed back to MPKj to report this incident to the Pemangku Pengarah, Cik Fadilah. it was resorted that, contractor would be called in immediately to carry out the work to remove the rock. In the upcoming meeting, the Engineering dept will also discuss on the following action to be taken, in their level best, to prevent the hapening of the same incident.

Ahli Majlis oh.. ahli majlis...stupid people oh........... stupid people.................

Received a call from a resident in Taman Segar Pedana. telling me that her house was badly damaged after the incident of broken main pipe infront of her house. opps....this taman is located in my Zone, well, of cause i am obliged to attend to this complain and is my duty as well to go and attend to her problem.

But, what i want to press here is not so much of the problem faced, infact, her problem is solvable and it is of very petty issue, what irritated me was this....share this with you.

Upon my arrival to her house, her sister, the owner( madam Yap) and an old man were there waiting for me. Apologizing for being late( as the result of long search of the house), then i enquired what was the problem. Before i was briefed in detail, the old man asked me this unbearable question...arrogantly and, i think her was kind of showing off: " Miss, how do you think you can help in this matter?" .....well, i looked at him, reminding myself to be patient, i asked him this;" are you the owner? no? opps, can the owner please show me the damages?"...k...this first round, no winner no loser, but, i showed him what respect was...speak to me if you are the owner.

After i was briefed by the kind and helpful owner of the damages, i did call up the contractor who incharged of this project. I was then told by the contractor, En Naza that, they came last few days to sort out some of the problem, but due to the Raya Holidays, they had to break and would resume work only on Tuesday, which is the next day, opps, i accepted that, they showed honesty and willingness to clear the mess.

then i went out of the house, the Pakcik then posed me the second unkind question:" How do you help? do you know where is the Pejabat tanah?"...oh..simple question, yes, i answered him and told me of the location of the Land office. he thought that this work was done by the Jabatan Penairan Dan Saliran Selangor(JPS), which was not JPS but Syabas! hmmm.....

what angered me was that, he then said this:" Miss, how to go to JPS ar?Why not you bring this case straight to the upper level and speak to them NOW?"??????huh???? wow...i was stunned and i was provoked.. i had given him enough face that i entertained him nicely in his first two funny and childish questions. but, the last statement of him was, unreasonable and unbearable.

I looked at him and the other women beside me, i rubbed my face as a sign of impatience and i said this: " At the very first place, no one ever expect to have this incident occured, neither did the contractor, but, they are responsible enough to come to you house upon receiving you call, they are willingly compensate the damages, and they will come to fix all these tomorrow. can you please be reasonable enough that this matter to be solved at the lower level first, and, if the contractor fails in carrying his promises, then only we bring this matter upward?this is my opinion in this case, i dont see any reason that we should not give them chances! but, uncle, if you do not like me being the representative of DAP( i was wearing DAP T shirt at that moment), please, do forgive me as i got to attend to the party event after this. but, if you think you want to handle this matter in you way, please do it your way and do not involve me..."

he was speechless upon hearing my statement, hey, dear all, i was not arrogant but i was counting back some one who was arrogant! wei, come on, why the hush when the contractor had apologised and promised to fix up all the damages??????

i was so irritated by him. but, i managed to stay cool with that utterance, he wants to complain about me? bu all mean... i m prepared for that! unreasonable old man! give la chance to the contractor! and, know what? he kept silent since then.......

The Second Report made-Hope No More Third One!

Today, I lodge a police report in my capacity as the Wanita Chief of DAP Cheras, DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) of Cheras DAP is also here to show support and solidarity. This is the second police report i lodged after the first one lodged two days ago. ( please refer to the first statement)

After the incident of Molotov cocktails thrown at YB Teresa's parents' house On 27th September 2008, i have again received few vulgar sms.

One sms was from the number 016-2648486. received at 10.59pm on 28th September 2008( Sunday)

"Nyonya teresa melampau, sngaja cabar Islam.Pkai Skirt d mjls bbuka puasa Surau chras baru,kita blh trima lg. Tp org Islam x blh trima apb lu lantang hina islam"

Another one received at 9.37pm on 29th September 2008(Monday), received from the number 017-2067110

"Nnya Tersa anti Islam n Melayu.Ptut diajar spaya lbih tau hrmat. org mcm dia x layak tggl dMlysia.Prosak kharmonian kaum.Pntngkan dr sndiri.Nk jd jaguh politik"

in the last sms, clearly seen that the sender is getting too much and too extreme, we are saddened by their irresponsible and extravagant act in further tarnishing the image of our beloved leader. Sdri Teresa has always been a good and a caring leader in the party and the society, she has done alots to the people of all races, she has sacrified her personal time just to ensure that the people is well taken care of by the government. She has been through a lot of political hardship.

Sdri Teresa is not anti Islam and Malay as claimed in the last SMS, we invite the senders to check out the activities organised by Malay Group that Sdri teresa has joined (http://teresakok.com/). In her blog, she also explained the reason of her wearing skirt to a Majlis Berbuka Puasa, a skirt with proper length.

We urge the etreme group involved to stop their irreponsible action. If this extremist claims that Teresa is anti Islam and Malay, then we must say that this group is anti Malaysia for instilling fear into the people, for spreading racist and untrue sms as well as threathening elected representatives in carrying out their legitimate duties unto their constituents.

We also urge the police officers to locate the culprit promptly before thing goes worse. this is the time for the police to prove their efficiency to the people. we urge them to act fast!

Thank you!

The Fisrt Police Report Made

Today, I lodge a police report in my capacity as the Wanita Chief of DAP Cheras, DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) of Cheras DAP is also here to show support and solidarity. I have received annoying cum violent sms last few days before the incident of throwing molotov cocktails took place at YB Teresa's parents' house at Jalan Ipoh on 27th September 2008.

On 25th September 2008, i have received the first sms at 8.02 pm while i was on my way to town. I was stunned when i read the sms and i immediately called that number to question his/her motive, but the number could not be reached. as if the number is origined from a server. (please refer the sample of my police report for the content of the sms)

A day later, which was on 26th September 2008, at 8.49pm, while i was on my way to attend DAP Segambut Dinner, i received two more sms, the duo contained the same message.( please refer the report). I called this number too but was unreachable.

The reason we come lodge report today is that, we suspect there might be some kind of connection in these two matters. Especially the last sms i received on Friday, we can see clearly that, in the last sms, the despicable sender had written " Lu apa pasal suka cari pasal", wheras in the threatening notice received by Teresa on Saturday Morning, the word " suka cari pasal" again appeared. Anyway, that is merely our suspicion. We leave it to the police officers to do the necessary as they should be more proffesional and know well in investigating this matter. With the two handphone numbers provided to the police, i am sure that it helps alot in speeding up the investigation process. Police has got the right to obtain the details of the owner of these two numbers from the Mobile system operator ( DIGI).

We hereby urge that those despicable and irresponsible groups who involve in these incidents to stop fooling around and stop their acts. To us, they are trying to instill fear into the Wakil rakyat and also the members of Public. What is their motives? the DAP as well as the Pakatan rakyat are here to carry out their duty to serve the people and serve the nation, to transform Malaysia into a better one for all Rakyat regardless of race and religion, why is this group of people still wanting to create fear and mess?

We urge the group involved to stop engaging in useless and immature action. Also, to those who experience the same viz receiving the alike sms, we are pretty sure that I am not the only one who receive these offensive SMS, please do contact us at 03-92857532.

Thank you!

Let me tell you a story:

Zahari was an unafortunate kampung boy, received very little education, he decided to try his luck in the city. He then settled down at a taman renting a small room in that taman. Knowing that he was not able to do any other work. he dedided to sell " Pisang Goreng" at Pasar Malam. He was told to go to the Bangunan MPxx to apply for a hawker licence. He did so, he paid rm15 rinngit to get to the bangunan by taxi, went up to the second floor but the staff at the counter whispered to him :" Hey, awak orang baru? tu tempat orang ni yang jaga, i kasi u numbor, cuba telipon la"...he then left the bangunan empty-handed but the phone number.

He called that number given at the counter, hoping that he could get a license and a " petak" to sell " Pisang Goreng". Not that his pisang goreng was of famous, no..but, he needed to fill his empty stomatch! he was starving! pity him.

finally , he got the other end answering the call, " allamdulilah, bang. i dapat awak ni, i nak minta tolong, i orang susah, baru dari kampung, nak jual pisang goreng. cari makan susah ni!"

replied from the other end :" oh, senang, senang, kami semua mahu cari makan, panggil aku ah weng, i ni suka tolong. i boleh gaodim lu punya lesen and petak, senang. berapa duit punya petak lu mahu? ada RM3000, Rm 2000, Rm 1000,yang paling murah Rm500, tu lah gerai paling jauh dan hantu pun tak adak, mana mau? siapa cepat dia dapat!"

Zahari got shocked, " hei, bukan ke ni tempat awam? MPxx punya, apasal mahu kita orang bayar? kalau kita ada duit, usah jual pisang goreng! jual tanah dah! "

he was so sad to learn the cruelity and the " culture' upheld in the city... his plan of selling merely " pisang goreng" was not succesful. He got to cancel the rented room,used up the rest of money he had with him to return to his kampung. at least, selling " pisang goreng" in the kampung was much easier. the " petak" is free..

but, he still failed to understand, why Ah Weng collected money from him for the petak, was he a staff in the MPxx? was he genuine? was he what he read from the newspaper- orang tengah, who berpakat with pegawai in MPxx? he kept thinking of this question while goreng his pisang goreng..failing to understand why, he would yell: "Pisang Goreng Kampung! atas petak free! tak perlu bayar petak, mari mari....petak tak perlu duit di kampung, tapi petak mahu duit banyak di bandar! pisang goreng! pisang goreng!"

2008-08-13T10:36:00.000-07:00

Touched.....Despaired.....Puzzled....Angry!

Near to 2 am in the morning, sleepless, never before i am filled with dismay to this extent. Never, i hope it ends soon.

After the dialogue held last Saturday, the trekkers' committee has no choice but agreed to look for a new trail in replacement of the current entrace to "Bukit Putih". This group, mainly consists of business men, went around the hill to look for new trail and they resorted to a location.

No car parking problem as faced in the area of Bukit Putih, as near to the front entrance into the new trail, there is a piece of huge and spacious land, it is best used as car park! bravo! i was informed of this good news in this morning, i was so thankful to them for their sacrifies they had made in loccating the new trails, guys.. those senior and ailing group will gona love you so much! and me too! i love you all..my respect!

but..but..but..late evening, another call from the committee had throughly put me into shock. The land is a private land, the owner called them up! i then totally dropped deep into a well, lossing my way out. i m about to drown, tons and tons of tears coming towards me, not my tears but the uncle unty who are waiting anxiously to reenter the hill!

Uncle, unty, those ailing group,

i must extend my utmost apology, i failed in my task of getting the pakatan to reopen the hill, i am with no authority to send out directives and orders, i m no one in the government!

can the hill be reopened? as far as i m concerned, why not? the main issue is the car parking, well, proposal is there, a workable n fruitful one, this will solve the parking problem once n for all, Why not listen? why insist to close the hill? sound pollution? the committee is dying to promise that there will be tighter supervision during the heavy flow of trekkers., banner will be put up along the way to the entrance. What else? Akta Perhutanan must be complied with? hey, degazzette the law, change that small tiny part of the hill to recreational park. i dont see ordeal at all...

But, if the pakatan government in general, Elizeberth in particular fails to understand the points, then, go back sleep. You are not here for the people, you are merely here to impose law law law...and, with this uncaring, ruthless, loveless, unconsiderate way of handling this issue, the voters, in next election will tell Y.Bodoh Eli...want my vote? LO LO LO!

Selangor Government- Image at risk, may God bless me!

Brief explanation of an issue popped up in Taman Wangsa Cheras.

Jabatan perhutanan together with Consumer Affairs & Environment of Selangor State Government( potfolio of Y. B Elizaberth) closed down the Bukit Wangsa Cheras. This bukit is frequent by near to thousands of trekkers on weekend. It is a reserved land and no charge is imposed on the trekkers. The trekkers consist of both the residents and also outsiders from all over the Klang Valley.

A press gave big coverage to this hill to introduce its spectacularity to its readers resulting in the increase of patron last two weeks. The residents staying nearby are unhappy with the noise n sound polution produced. they made complain to the state govenment.

Without listening to the others side of story, the state govenrment closed down the hill yesterday. I was informed by the resident to go over as this area is located just in my zone. i was surprise to know that not all residents are against this trekking acitivity. they all know well that, there is no suitable platform for health building, they need the hill. The residents who are also the trekkers are upset with the move by the govenment. At least the government should listen to both side of the viewpoints and not take action barely based on one side of viewpoint.

The trekking committee's advisor, Mr Lam has been trying to get the chairman of resident, Tan, to sit down and talk, but to no effect. Tan avoided Lam.

The political asssistant of Elizaberth , Khai Lun promised to arrange for a dialogue this coming week. All parties involved will be invited. Eli could not appear during the closure as she was away in Singapore.The trekkers and the residents were happy to know that a dialogue would be called.

Dear all,

know what? a day later, i was told that, Eli, who was still in Singapore did not agree with the proposal of having dialogue and she said to the press that- "The hill would not be reopened, no compromise!"

hey! this is an immature decision made without consulting all the parties involved! the trekking committee has got its proposal ready to solve all the problems, why the pakatan government does not even want to sit down and listen? as a Ahli Majlis, i want to listen but my position is just damn tiny to solve this matter!

Can anyone assist in this matter? we are now the government, we got to be mature in handling people related issue, listening to both side of stories brings no harm! the press will publish her comment tomorrow-" no compromise", and, state govenment will look ugly as protest will soon be carried out by the trekkers!

Selangor Government...at risk.....protest will surely be carried out by the trekkers, oh, before i forget, many of the trekkers are senior citizens who have retired and afford little expenses in keeping themselves well and healthy......may God be with me.......

Tuan,

Kerja Pengindahan Bukit Wangsa Cheras, Batu 9,Cheras Dan Pengenaan Caj Kemasukan

Salam sejahtera dan selamat tengah hari!

Dengan hormatnya diminta pihak tuan mengizinkan saya memperkenal diri saya, saya Leong Ooi Kuan, merupakan ahli Majlis Perbandaran Kajang. Tujuan saya mengutuskan surat kepada pihak tuan adalah untuk menyampaikan mesej yang saya terima daripada sekumpulan pendaki Bukit Wangsa Cheras ataupun Bukit " Ah Bak", Batu 9, Cheras, Selangor.

2. Untuk makluman pihak tuan, semasa saya mengunjungi bukit tersebut untuk bersenaman setiap minggu, saya difahamkan oleh dua orang pegawai dari Jabatan Perhutanan negeri Selangor bahawa, kerja-kerja memperindah sekeliling bukit tersebut mula dilaksanakan. Dan, caj sebanyak RM1 akan dikenakan kepada sesiapa yang ingin memasuki kawasan tersebut!
3. Kumpulan pendaki bukit dan pencinta alam semulajadi berasa sungguh kecewa dan sedih hati keatas keputusan berikut. Mereka mengharap agar pihak kerajaan Negeri Selangor baru yang mereka memberi sokongan dan menaruh harapan besar sedia membatalkan rancangan tersebut.

4. Berikut merupakan sebab-sebab bantahan kenaan caj sebanyak RM1;
a. Pendaki-pendaki Bukit Wangsa Cheras, Batu 9, Cheras menjadikan tabiat mendaki bukit tersebut suatu aktiviti seharian sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu. Mereka suka akan keaadan bukit berkenaan yang semulajadi. Buat masa kini, kawasan tersebut telah pun dilengkapi dua buah bilik "Tukar pakaian". Ini adalah mencukupi. Kerja-kerja pengindahan seperti mendirikan tandas-tandas awam dan tempat makan adalah tidak diperlukan.

b. Ekonomi negara bertambah semakin buruk. Golongan pendaki bukit yang tidak berkemampuan membelanja telahpun menyesuaikan diri mereka dengan cara mengurangkan belanjawan, mereka mengunjungi bukit Wangsa Cheras untuk bersenam dan bermandi di air terjun demi meringankan beban mereka . Dengan pengenaan sebanyak RM1, usaha mereka dalam mengurangkan belanjawan terjejas.

c. Kebanyakan pendaki bukit merupakan golongan warga tua yang telah bersara. Mereka mendaki bukit demi menjaga kesihatan. Pengenaan caj kemasukan ke kawasan tersebut akan membebankan mereka. Golongan tua ini terpaksa membelanja sekurang-kurangnya RM360 setahun untuk menjaga kesihatan!

d. Ramai rakyat menaruh harapan besar keatas pucuk pimpinan kerajaan Selangor yang baru ini. Pengenaan caj kemasukan ke kawasan ini tidak akan mendatangkan apa-apa faedah dari segi sokongan daripada rakyat malah mencetuskan kemarahan mereka yang cinta akan semula jadi dan kesihatan.

5. Dengan demikian, saya berharap mesej yang saya sampaikan melalui surat ini dapat dipertimbangkan oleh pihak YB, golongan pendaki bukit mengharapkan sebuah kerajaan yang bertimbang rasa, belas kasihan dan mencintai rakyat yang telah memberi sokongan besar dalam pilihanraya yang baru berakhir!

6. Kerjasama dan perhatian daripada pihak tuan saya dahului dengan ribuan terima kasih.

Sekian,terima kasih

Yang benar,

Miss J, you still owe me an APOLOGY!

Last two days had been outrages days for me, over my personal matter. I have a lovable pet dog at home, she is adopted from my not-so-closed ex colleague who has just migrated to Singapore. I love animals, i love dog, the moment she offered me the dog, i took it, happily and willingly.

This couple come visit my dog once they are in Malaysia. Touched by their love and passion to my dog, i always keep my door opened for this couple no matter how busy i am.

but...the best part is, after keeping the dog for a year, this friend of mine, Miss J, emailed me one day to say that

Besides, never ever connecting me to my former boss for whatsoever. To me, he just one of my ex-employer, nothing more. I even don't bother any matter about him. So, please stop using Pari as a bait to dip info from us for your own good as a politician.

Please love her with your heart but nothing more. "

I was stunned, i almost fainted onto the ground, what on earth is going on here? she thought that i agreed to keep her dog because i wanted to stay close to her, so that i can gain trust from her former employer? wait.....what's happening????

She asked me this same question few months after i adopted her dog, i gave my explanation. But now, after almost a year, she accused me for the same matter! i was totally speechless and taken aback by her irrationality! all kinds of human being exist in this tiny planet!hmmmm..........

In my reply to her email, i posed my questions to her:

1. Who is she that she thinks the former employer is so interested to know of her whereabout?
2. Why must i trouble myself taking care of a dog just to track her whereabout?
3. Of what reasons that i want to stay close to her ex employer?( who is also my three months ex employer)
4. Had i ever asked or said anything pertaining to the ex employer whenever we met?
5. Did i ever talk about politics to her? not until she posed me question and i merely gave answers!

i was really sadden with her emails, the most irritating part was attached above, how could she accuse that i USED my dog as a bait???? how much love and time have i spent on her?not to forget that, this dog( American Cocker Spaniel) is easily infected with skin deceases and double cares must be given to her!

I apologized to her husband who seemed to know nothing at all about the emails she sent. She tried to involve her hubby into this matter without his knowledge. After my call to him only i realized that he was unaware of her accusation...i apologized to the hubby for my firing words used in my email in reply to her email...he accepted it and also thanked me for keeping the dog..

i then started to worry, the lady, Miss J must have been suffering some kind of pressures that she can't control herself but lay high suspicion to things and people she knows..

hmmm.....so worrying, but i don't intend to prolong this matter any further. I din't reply any more mail she sent and i will pray hard for her health n well being.......

if she ever reads my blog, i want her to know that, do respect politicians. Do not insult politicians, we all live under the policies produced by this group. Show respect to the good ones..this country will be in disastrous state should we have no good politicians!!!!with this,

Miss J, you still owe me an apology!

BERSIH! BERSIH! BERSIH!

The mass rally organized by BERSIH (comprises of 70 NGOs and political parties) on 10th November 2007 was great! I felt the joy and contentment participating in the rally more than seeing our Malaysia Spaceship passenger traveling to the space!

Once arrived at the Masjid Jamek LRT station, we found that the police had just fired several canisters of tear gas at the crowd in addition to discharging chemical-laced water. Yet, the crowd was not terrified with this little threat; they proceeded with the march heading to the Royal Palace, final destination where a memorandum calling for clean and fair elections would be handed to our beloved Sultan.

In the memorandum, few key immediate demands submitted by BERSIH, namely:
· The use of indelible ink to prevent double-voting;
· The abolishment of postal votes;
· Clean-up of the electoral roll;
· Equal and fair access to national media.
· A longer campaign period (minimum 21 days) to provide the citizenry sufficient time to choose the government and representatives they prefer.

Few weeks before this historical mass rally, the authority had done lots of tricks just to ban the meaningful peaceful assembly from taking place. Few tricks taken by them;

· No permit granted despite the proper application carried out by the organizer.
· Placed fear into the citizen by threatening them not to join the rally.
· Uttered to carry out heavy punishment onto those who join the rally; offenders to face the possibility of a fine of between RM2, 000 and RM10,000 and up to one-year jail term.
· Ordered the media to black out all coverage relates to this peaceful assembly.

These senseless tricks didn’t seems to succeed, about 40,000 brave and concerned citizen regardless of race and religion showed up at this assembly.

We all carried with us a demand; we want fair, free and clean elections! Do away with all the dirty games during election, let’s play fairly.

菲比: 触电,

蕉赖选民:气到出电!

My FM 主持人-菲比唱了一首蛮好听的新歌,题为" 触电 ". 可我现在的感受是”气到出电"!

我们蕉赖民主行动党几个月前收到不少投诉. 都是针对蕉赖马华以鄙郫的欺诈手段招募新党员.尤于投诉者(以大专生和大学生为主)都因害怕受到大专法令的对付而不愿意挺身而出告发蕉赖马华的不道德行为. 所以我们唯有耐心等待适当的时刻把他们鄙郫的手段公布于世.黄金时刻到了!我们通过某个管道从守侯深严的马华某办公室取得了三张重要的"高度机密信件"(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/73107- 可到今日大马看此信件) 信件内容引述由三位马华元老( 张庆隆-马华蕉赖区会副主席, 李庆祥-马华蕉赖区会副主席, 李承历-马华蕉赖区会财政)发给马华全国总秘书黄家泉以揭发其区会组织秘书以不正当及不透明的手法欺骗党并成立了十个新的支部.

蕉赖马华一直以来内讧不断并分成两派; A 派 (刘国权带领) 和B 派( 卓建国和吴心一带领). 这两派为了争权夺力,升官发财不惜用一切手段包括以鄙郫的欺诈手段获得接近2500 或可能更多的新党员. 我们相信这些违犯党条例而成立新支部, 其支部党员也许是通过这几个月来马华所设立的选民登记柜台不道德地骗取得来的.

到来蕉赖行动党投诉的投诉者们都表示他们不想在来届大选错过投下神圣的一票而到马华设立于广场和民众礼堂等的选民登记柜台登记.在柜台的马华工作人员包括卓建国和吴心一等人向他们索取身份证并拍了他们的人头照片. 他们不以为然以为这是登记选民必须附上的文件. 完毕后, 他们被递上几分表格,要求签名.他们也不疑有诈一一签名. ( 注: 登记成为新选民无须附上照片和身份证副本,而且只须签一个名字就可) 事后的几个星期,他们通过朋友口中获悉本身已成为了蕉赖马华新党员,顿时震惊不已!

我们蕉赖民主行动党在持有相当充足的证据下于今天早上召开了记者会,以公布蕉赖马华以鄙郫的欺诈手段招募新党员的事件, 以警惕菩罗大众,以免还有更多的不知情的受害者掉入陷阱.
为何我开场白提到被气到出电呢?原来马华针对这事件作出了令人愤怒的回应! 回应者面不红耳不侧一一否认! 好无羞耻心呢! 若蕉赖马华”身无屎” , 就请他们大大方方公布十个新支部的党员名字. 来个明白! 今日大马报导了这人神公愤的回应, 与大家分享"(http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/73107

I am so tourched that many friends emailed and called me today, to follow up with my " Nightmare".....sad to tell that the owner din't open the door when i knocked at his door. It seemed to be no one at home but.....the air cond was still running, it was only 8pm...the waterfall continued its routine practice............sigh......

in reply to my friend, Pathma's enquiry:
hey, dear friend, i dint get in the furniture yet. Financially hard for me to do so. I will only buy in furniture gradually, so..house warming......guess some time next year? will give you a ring then....:)

2007-07-01T21:09:00.000-07:00

I Bought a House,
Terriying Nightmare Follows.....
Arrogant Man with a gun!

Master Study? how i wish i was able to carry out that initial plan! i 've got to abandon the plan.; no master study, no.....the reason is.....i have bought a house! a flat house! with no single cent in my saving , i have withdrawn my portion in KWSP to pay for the 10% downpayment, Study? too luxurious for me at this juncture of time...........no more master study..... no more.............Will replan it sometime in the future...........for sure..

Oh yeah, buying a house is definatetly not listed in my short-term plan, nevertheless, due to some unforseen matters arisen, i have no choice but to get a house.....

Speaking of my flat unit...it is merely a second-hand apartment located somewhere in Taman Segar, it has got a beautiful name " Segar Apartment", yet it has got nothing beautiful: No swimming pool, no gym hall, no food court, no efficient management, got big drains, few large left-unattended rubbish bins...that's my " Home Sweet Home".

================================================

Never before i come across terriying nightmare, but the first day i was in the new house, i met with one..... "One" which is still unsolved. I went to paint my house from 3pm onwards yesterday, happily painting the grills with light yellow, making my house looks brighter....the nightmare started at 720pm....while i was painting the grill in my room.." blazz....deck...deck....deck......" heavy rain i thought? looking out from the window, not rain drop but....water from air conditioner droping on my owning!!"huhhhhhh?????......."

Guess what, i walked down to figure out the " Culprit" of the waterfall, it is the resident in 8th floor...i cant put myself at risk, how can i sleep well with this terriying and annoying "waterfall"? hey, home sweet home shouldn't come together with annoying sound! it is sound pollution, i want peace! For God's sake.

i went to the unit in 8th floor, with my smiling face i greeted the owner, a lady, and also explained to her the reason i dropped by.She.....she......with her face still sticked on the Tv screen uttered" Oh, we know that, we have received a lots of complaints. My husband is sleeping now, you come at 730 pm in the evening tomorrow......."

hmmmm...hhuuuuhhh?hmmmmm....ok, i still believed that i would have my way to get the family refix the air cond pipe...once the pipe refixed, no more waterfall, it is just as easy as ABC.....my confidence was still there until i met with a friendly neighbour. I told him of the incident and, to my shocking suprise this was what came out from his mouth" oh, that family? this problem has been over due for a long time, many complaints logded but invain, the husband is an government servant carrying a GUN......what to do? we got to adjust ourselves to adapt to the noise..." oh....!no...my confidence suddenly became fragile and it just broke....fell onto the ground piece by piece....

i don't understand, government servant carrying GUN, a police officer i think? is it not true that any police officers plays vital role to safeguard the civilian? why this particular police officer has acted as if he was a king in this regime that all the residents must give in to his arogance? i cant agree to this.

i will go pay him a visit this evening, may god bless me.. may all my friends be with me, give me enough forces to awake this arrogant POLICE OFFICER from his own regime....

Let’s work closely and cooperatively as a team,
get rid of your petty mind!

Members of Parliament ( Wakil Rakyat) carry name card and give out name cards to the voters. It has been usual that WR’s faces as well as their mobile numbers appear on the name card. These mean a lot when it comes to Publicity and Voters’ contact.

I got a chance to help up in one of the events; I gave away WR’s name cards after the green light was granted by the WR. Midst of the event, I was stopped unfriendly from doing so by a middle age hardcore female member .

But, hey untie, what‘s wrong with giving out cards belong to a voter representative? Come on, do you mind give me a minute and listen to my reason? Don’t just jump into a damn quick conclusion!

1. Wakil Rakyat are elected by the voters, the wakil rakyar are answerable to the voter. The voters have all their right to obtain the WR’s name card so that their complains can be attended to in no time.

2. As the volunteers assisting Wakil Rakyat in his constituency affairs, we should respect the decision by the WR, he has given green light to go ahead with giving out his name cards, what is the disagreement for? Who are you to disagree? The WR is there to work for the voters, who are you to hinder the good will of a responsible representative?

3. The benefit of giving out the name cards is numerous, but one that I wish to mention here is that, “ Publicity!” many voters don’t read newspaper, and the media is seriously controlled and suppressed by the ruling party, what’s wrong to give out name card imprinted with WR’s photo? The voters gain!

I was rather disheartened just as she disallowed me to carry out what’s good for the voters, we have had enough suppression from the corrupt and useless government, the opposition party must be strong and work hard to gain the confidence and support from the voters, dear all, please look at the big picture and carry out meaningful duties to make the nation a better one. Please stop barking at the wrong tree which will do the party no good. If you keep thinking that your ideas are the best and you disallow changes, then you are advised to join the ruling party.

LAME!

Hey man, No More TOILET issue,
look into the REAL ISSUES!

Yesterday, i read from the star online about the ideas for teachers to share toilets with students. This idea was supported by the Deputy Education Minister Datuk Hon Choon Kim.

I never understand why that the Education ministry waste their time on those petty issues? why not leave the toilet maintenance thing back to the school? the particular school management will know better than any one else pertaining to maintaning their own school cleanliness.

There are many vital issues in hand which the education ministry should look into which are definately not toilet issues;

Teachers coming into the classes without sincerity to teach. Ordering the class monitor to rewrite the execises enclosed with answers on the board so that the teachers could sit enjoyably on their seats and wait till the bell rang. No explaination or whatsoever is given. We can never expect our children grow up thinking-out-of -the-box under this over-due-lame " eduation system".

Deputy Minister; are you not aware of this problem? parents' complains can be heard every where but all fall to deaf ears. Are you not supposed to ensure that all teachers receive adequate training before they are assigned to educate our next generation? spend more time to improve the teaching profession instead of petty issues.

The number of Chinese primary schools has declined from 1,333 in 1957 to 1,288 today, while enrolment has more than doubled from 310,000 to 636,000. While the Tamil primary schools have been reduced from 526 in 2001 to 523 in 2006. How many times do we hear MCA & MIC declare firmly that they play important roles in ensuring the building of new Chinese & Tamil primary school? but, what is the outcome now? the number is declining and the existing schools are over crowded! where are the new schools?

Deputy Minister, Come on, act as a sincere man! walk the talk, you want supports from the voters? build more Chinese/Tamil school then and get equal funding for our chinese/Tamil schools. Do not give out " sweets" only before election, give out real "sweet" when we are in dire need of having more Chinese/Tamil primary schools.

I'll be Back to school again!

Went out for a drink with a senior comrade who had just returned to this bolehland. We started our chat talking about her study life in overseas, the great weather there, the kind and friendly floor mates she had got, the food, the beverages...etc...then the conversation became rather serious when she enquired me of my latest working life. I got to tell her that i was happier with this new company and the new boss. My boss is a brilliant marketing planner, i am happy working as his personal assistant helping him take care of his personal matters. She then asked if i was able to have personal growth in the future to come. i was stunned....for about 5 second..... "growth...???....stunned....stunned.....continued to stun....."

On the way driving home, again her question emerged in my mind. I couldn't stop thinking how far i can go working for this company. Personal growth? quite minimal i dare to say.

I got to thank her for waking me up, she had reminded me of personal growth, i strongly agree that i mustn't stop from learning. I am still so young! stop learning? NO WAY!

well, i decided to further my master's degree. I got to choose local university for I do not have many options. Local university is what i can afford. Starting to apply for the programme now...and, i am happy with this decision,i can further my study in the subject which i fond of, which is English Language..:)

Just can't wait to start my study life......."Hello! I'll be back to school again!"

SAMUN!SAMUN!ROBBER!ROBBER!
PAK LAH!!!WHAT HAPPEN?

Started working after a long festive holiday.Went back to office feeling fresh and energitic.Unfortunately, my new year mood has then been ruined by a group of unwelcomed guests who dropped by at our office early in the morning.

two men in their uniform with name tags imprinted with their names, came into my office looking for my boss.One of them carrying a pack of mandarin orrange in his hand.

Below is the conversation:

man in uniform: Boss ada?
me in irritation: ada, tapi semua meeting, apa boleh saya bantu?
man in uniform: semua meeting ke?
me in irritation: ya. kenapa ni?
man in uniform: tak ada apa, ingat nak ucap " gong xi fa cai" kepada boss aje.
me in extreme irritation: maaf la, boss meeting, saya tak berani nak ganggu.
man in uniform: ok

They then left our office, they continued their mission at the other offices. THIS GROUP WAS THE FIRST GROUP, THE SECOND AND THE THIRD GROUP CAME REPEATING THE SAME " DUTY" IN THE AFTERNOON!!!!

my godness! we as the tax payer pay their wages to carry out duties, yet they only bother how to dig money from us ! day light robbery!what the hell are they doing? what the hell is going on with the civil servant in Malaysia? what the hell the meaning of " saya anti rasuah"? not workable at all! They are practising " SAYA MINTA RASUAH"!!!

Hanya RM300 untuk Ibu Tunggal,
Tetapi RM400 juta untuk Istana Negara Baru !!!!!!

Pada hari sabtu yang lepas, saya berpeluang hadir ke suatu aktiviti anjuran Parti Tindakan Demokratik ( DAP) kawasan Cheras. Aktiviti kebajikan ini diadakan oleh DAP Cheras setiap tahun sebelum menyambut Tahun Baru Cina.Aktiviti tersebut diadakan bagi tujuan menghulur bantuan dari segi kewangan dan barangan kepada golongan warga tua, ibu tunggal dan yang kurang keupayaan.

Yang hadir lebih kurang 80 orang termasuk golongan budiwan yang turut hadir memberi angpow kepada kanak-kanak di situ. Golongan yang menerima bantuan berasa terharu and gembira terhadap golongan dermawan yang murah hati dan juga DAP Cheras yang mengambil berat keatas mereka. Sebagai sukarelawan, kami semua turut berasa gembira melihat air muka golongan ini selepas menerima bantuan.

Saya mengambil kesempatan untuk bersembang dengan seorang ibu tunggal ( di sini saya namakan " kak Yong") yang kehilangan suami akibat kemalangan beberapa tahun yang lalu. Kak Yong terpaksa melupakan kesedihanya dan gigih meneruskan misi sebagai seorang ibu kepada 4 orang anak lelaki. Apabila ditanya, kak Yong memberitahu saya bahawa dia menerima tajaan sebanyak RM300 setiap bulan daripada Jabatan Kebajikan Wilayah Persekutuan.

Ini amat mengejutkan saya! Kak Yong bekerja sebagai seorang tukang pembersih pejabat yang menerima gaji kasar sebanyak rm800 sebulan, ditolak dengan caruman EPF and Socso, Gaji bersih yang diterima lebih kurang RM700. Ditambah pula RM300, ini bermaksud Kak Yong dan keempat-empat orang anaknya hanya boleh membelanja RM 1000 dalam sebulan sahaja! biar saya cuba senaraikan anggaran belanjawan bagi Kak Yong,

Andaikan kak Yong :

berjalan kaki ke tempat kerja
makan masakan dari rumah untuk sarapan pagi dan tengah hari
tidak memiliki telefon bimbit
memakai hanya baju lama ataupun pembelian orang lain
tidak membeli pakaian baju, buku-buku rujukan kepada keempat-empat orang anak
tidak menonton wayang di pawagam
tidak membeli apa-apa perlindungan insuran
tidak menghadiri ke majlis perkahwinan
tidak membeli suratkhabar yang berharga minima RM36 sebulan
tidak menikmati perkhidmatan Astro
tidak memiliki kenderaan sendiri kecuali basikal

andaian Perbelanjaan sebulan kak Yong adalah seperti berikut,

Tambang Bas ke sekolah(4 orang anak, andaikan RM4 seorang, bersekolah 6 hari)-RM384
Belanjaan ke atas makan(dimasak oleh kak Yong, andaikan RM15 sehari)-RM465
Bayaran sewa rumah PPR-Rm124
Barayan bil Elektrik- RM50
Bayaran bil air- Rm10( sebelum harga air dinaikkan dan setiap ahli keluarga dibenarkan mandi sekali sehari tanpa memasak air panas)
Bayaran Telefon- RM35( andaikan mereka jarang membuat panggilan, bayaran ini merupakan bayaran sewa telefon yang wajib dibayar)

Jumlah anggaran perbelanjaan asas- Rm 1068.00! tetapi dengan hanya Rm1000 setiap bulan, adakah Kak Yong dapat menjalani kehidupannya tanpa tekanan? adakah anak-anak Kak Yong yang masih kecil memahami kesenggsaran ibunya dan memendamkan keinginan membeli baju-baju, buku-buku cerita, permainan dan sebagainya?

Saya berasa sedih selepas berbual dengan Kak Yong, salah seorang daripada ibu tunggal yang hadir pada hari itu. Terdapat begitu banyak lagi kes sedemikian di selurah negara, kes- kes yang mungkin lagi teruk daripada apa yang dialami Kak Yong.

Dalam hati saya, saya turut berfikir,

Mengapakah pihak kerajaan sudi menghabiskan RM400 juta untuk membina sebuah istana yang canggih yang tidak dapat dinikmati oleh rakyat jelata dan lebih berfungsi sebagai sebuah bangunan hiasan bagi tujuan menarik pelancong luar negara?
pihak kerajaan wajar menjaga kebajikan rakyat jelata.

Saya yakin kes-kes jenayah seperti perompakan, ugutan, meragut beg, pembunuhan, pergaduhan akan dapat dikurangkan jikalau setiap rakyat Jelata hidup dalam keadaan yang stabil yang mana keperluan-keperluan asas mereka dapat dipenuhi.

PAY RM4,000, A PPR UNIT-YOURS!

Another "true" story( kisah "benar"):

A divorced Indian laddy, Madam N Stayed in a " Rumah Setinggan " in Cheras with her the only son. She works in cheras as a cleaner earning RM700 every month.

In September 2006, her house was ruined by flood. On that scary night, the rain was so heavy that all her belongings were damaged. Fridge, shelves, clothes cabinet, television, radio, furniture....all gone..( no more elaboration on how she felt, everyone can imagine it..)

She filled in form, applying for a Projek Perumahan Rakyat from the DBKL office in Kampung Baru, after few months of delay, she was finally given a unit in PPR Puchong! and, her another nightmare began, to and fro form the workplace and her new house, what an " overweight" burden to her! not only that she has to spend more on the bus fare, but, she has to bring her kid to his school located in Cheras very early in the morning!

Having thorough thought, she decided to request for transfer of PPR from Puchong to Cheras. She never demands much except a shelter for her and her son at a unit in PPR located in Cheras area.

Filled in form again, went to DBKL, submitted whatever application forms and letters that she could present.

and, dear all, below the conversation between herself and one of the DBKL officer,

Madam N: Encik, tolonglah, susah bagi saya berulang alik,gaji pun tak seberapa, semua kena belanja untuk menambang bus!

Officer: apa susah susah ni? dulu minta rumah kami sudah kasih, sekarang tak boleh pindah, lu tinggal situ untuk tiga tahun. bila kontrak penuh, awak minta balik Cheras, saya akan kasih awak mana-mana unit di cheras. tapi unit bukan baru punya. saya kasih satu bilik untuk awak. masa tu, mau tak mau, u suka!

She was so sad. The officer didnt even receive all the documents she presented. could not help herself but cried in the waiting area. A man from public came to her. Below the conversation:

The Man: Aji, apa nangis ada? tak payah susah susah minta tukar, sini pergi situ cari. mahu mana mana unit, cakap aje, senang. bayar RM4,000 untuk satu unit! saya punya adik dah berumah, tapi dia bayar R4,000 sini, dapatlah rumah PPR di Cheras, rumah baru! senang!karang ni rumah tu kasih sewa aje. untung juga!

Madam N; pakcik, pikirlah, kalau saya ada duit rm4,000, mahukah saya susah ni macam? rm40 pun saya susah payah jimat jimat, usah cakap RM4,000!

she left the DBKL office

Dear all, this is a damn "real' story took place in this " Boleh Land"!sad huh? Malaysia Boleh!

2007-01-14T21:24:00.000-08:00

CORRUPTION?NO PLEASE!

"Duit kopi, Duit Kopi, Duit Kopi!" sound familiar huh? this noun phrase not only widely heard in Malaysia but also widely used in our " semua boleh" land. I am working in a private company located in a business area with limitted car parks. We have paid officially to the local anthority for two parking lots. It costs about rm 320 ++ per month. Still, the car park is not enough! the staff and the guests have been through so much hardship in searching for car park in that area, they will get one if only they are lucky enough!( which is hardly happen)

to SOLVE it, we park our cars along the pathway ( located at the corner lot, we have a big wide area for illegal parking)

Know what? those " IDIOTS" started their " day- light- robbery", approached us for " duit untuk minum kopi, kalau tidak, kami akan datang tiap-tiap hari untuk bagi saman" ...this was what those idiots told me....Wow.....they are robber, aren't they???? to make thing worse, we were not approached by only one gang but two gangs!

every month then, they appear punctually at our office, waiting for the " duit kopi"...
imagine this ,
one office - RM200
10 offices - RM2000
50 offices- RM10,000.00! per month! ( in one area only, usually they cover more than two areas!)

Well, many of u may think that we are wrong at the first place for parking the cars at the illegal place, dear ones, where else can we park? if the malaysia public transportation is 50% as efficient as the transportation system in Singapore, then do you think the ordinary citizen will ever own a car?

EXCUSE ME?
Owning a car while the fuel price keeps arising even though Malaysia is the Petroleum Producer?
Owning a car while the tol price keeps increasing due to the corrupt government who has signed disclosed agreement with high way concession companies?
Owning a car while we still have to suffer the heavy traffic congestion in highway daily?

Come on! spare the innocent Citizen!

You want to put an end to the corruption? here are some ideas to share:

1. Pak Lah must ensure that the Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) is an independant body which reports only to the Parliament.

2. The Opposition party must be allowed to join in as the committee member of BPR

3. Make the prosedure of reporting/lodging any corruption easier and more confidental. witnesses must be protected.

3. Increase the salary of all the Government Servants, increase by 100% at least. A show of sincerity and seriousness of PAK LAH wanting to curb corruption.

4. High salary make the officers especially the trafiic officers think twice before taking/asking/begging for bribe.

5. Educate the citizen effectively. Instill in them how bad and "retarded" a nation will be with the existance of corruption.

6. Pak LAH, do away " Budaya Tongkat", let's play the game fair. make all citizen competative regardless of race and religion. after all, we are competing with the world and not with our ownselves! WE WANT FAIR GAME!

LET'S SAY NO TO CORRUPTION!!!!

A LETTER TO MY FRIEND- TENNYICE

Tennyice,

Visited your blog, you referred the place as " Zoo".hahhaa. dear friend, You have reminded me of that " Zoo" which we once worked for..to believe it or not, i think i am kind of missing those old days when we had fun together in the zoo before the zoo was badly polluted.

when the top management decided to carry out renovation, we all agreed to help each other, only coorperation in a team will make miracles happen. Unfortunately, untrained "Zoo residents" failed to understand this statement and had performed their "uncivilized behaviour".... sad huh?

Tennyice,

Thanks for reminding me the time we spent together, short but fun and full of joy; " Size-5 slipper for "Orang Utan", " Jual Tinggal Tebu for Badak", " Singing and Yielding monkey"..etc...all are still fresh in my mind...hahhaha.....we are so mean!

Tennyice,

I got to leave the Zoo two weeks earlier than the notice i served, out of my own control. i just could not allow myself to be locked into any cages in the Zoo! i was about to go crazy living with those animals....what an impulsive decision i took..huh?hmmmm......still, no regret.

Tennyice,

When i thought back, i still remebered well that my duties in the Zoo. i worked as the driver driving top manager here and there, i made sure the Zoo website was attractive and user friendly, during the period of renovation, i even washed the toilets so that those animals could enjoy clean and fresh toilets..but....

Tennyice,

None of us should request appreciation from others. but allow me to act abit too much, i was not even treated to a farewell meal by the Zoo Management! how do you think i felt? till now, i feel bad..very bad..not a word from the top manager, not a thankful word from my top manager. nothing except questions still puzzling me-
" was all the work that i had done been labelled as " not worthy, useless"?
" have i wasted my two years working in the zoo?"

I do not know...really...do not know. I dont even want to discover more as, i just afraid that the truth could be damn crual that will put me to total collapse..

Tennyice,

Thanks for being there even it was short...only a year time...i am pretty sure that you and i learnt alot from the zoo.

Zoo
Without You, we would not be knowing each other,
Without You, we would not be growing,
Without You, we would not be discovering human weakness,
Without You, we would not be humble and mature...

take care...tennice
take care...my respected top manager
take care...Zoo!

Oppsss....a friend of mine just told me that her boyfriend proposed to her.....well, she is kinf of in dilemna...hmmm....guess what she needs to look into is wether these questions have got a " yes".

1. is he the one that she wishes to spend the rest of the life with?
2. is he mature enough to build a family with her? mature in the sense that he has his own carrer and he is independent.
3. does she feel secure being with the man. can the man offer her security even when the man is not beside her?
4. can she accept that the man is the father of her kids in the future?

hmmm.....the answer to these questions, seems to be easy and, got to think thoroughly. just can simply give a nod to the man and she will be in regret for the rest of her life. that is marriage, sound easy but gosh, responsibility counts!

good luck to her! and also to me......just hope that i will have the answer to these question in near future too!

FURIOUS! What a chicken State Assemblyman!

Read from the newspaper that a state assemblyman from Seremban had quit himself from a political party, which is Democratic Action Party( DAP)...it is very furious and saddening!

it has not been easy being an opposition in Malaysia, many may agree that lots to be sacrified being in the opposition party. Joining the opposition will ensure you no personal profit but looking at the big picture, opposition party is badly needed in Malaysia to make our nation a better one! and, DAP is doing well in this mission.

Just wonder how come the State assemblyman could easily let go the hope of the people in general and the hope of the party in particular?? he has severely damaged the image of the party and himself!

Well, he used " the N.Sembilan State committee is chaostic" as the sole reason for him to leave! Bullshit! dont blame others for your own wrongful decision...being a top leader in an organisation, one is to hold responsible to anything happen in his organisation, and not just walk away like a free man!

This man has got no more credibility....how can rakyat believe in him anymore? Lim, the wise people let go of you for being such a chicken, but the wise people will never let go of DAP, being the best opposition party in Malaysia!

Good statements to share, not to miss !

oh....no.....oh...no.....am feeling so uneasy now! i had done a very bad job last nite in a function. I was asked to chair a dialog held jointly by a local press and a politician last night.

what happened was it, i did the translation( Kantonese into BM and the reverse) badly, i could not even believe that it was my work! oh...no.....i am not a perfect melancholis who want things to be perfectly right but i do give myself certain level of expectation...it was just...embarrasing!

hmmm...guess i got to attend more of those alike events to observe how the chairs carry out their work. Should i be given chances again in the future, i will perform the best.... " I 'll Be Back!"

Speaking of Powerful choleric, there is one whom i know( know her after i finished that book). From her personality, i know for sure that she is Powerful choleric:
1. Walk fast
2. Talk fast
3. Wear simple
4. Bossy
5. Wanting others' to be obedient
6. Control of power
7. Has comment on whatever decision others have made
8. Grabs all workload onto her own self.( no job delegation)

That is the type mentioned in that book i read !well, in order not to trigger conflict with her, the best way is to obey her, but, with certain limit. I have managed to identify myself as powerful choleric cum popular sanguine, thus must becareful in dealing with another pure powerful choleric in workplace.

anyone of you has better suggestion on how to deal with pure powerful choleric?
hmmmm....how to make those pure powerful choleric understand that" Tell other only what the outcome he/she wants, and let other to work on it, and not tell other how to do work from A-Z.."

well, recently i just completed reading a book entitled " PERSONALITY PUZZLE'- piecing togetehr the personalities in your workplace, written by Florence Littauer & Marita Littauer. honestly, the books is great, i was so amazed with the method the authors used to categorize personality, into 4 cateories: Powerful Choleric, Popular Sanguines, perfect Melancholies, Peaceful phlegmatics.

each of the group has unique way to be identified...and, from knowing the details of these personalities, wow...we can roughly tell how the person like and what the person does not like! great huh? any more alike books in the market? please let me know....
