Empty Cans Make The Most Noise!

Some empty cans just love to contribute to the already deafening sound of the local media and political drama!

I'm from Sarawak (and will always be a Sarawakian first, a Malaysian second) and no matter how proud I am of my state's rich natural heritage and its rainforests, I'm sure the proposed dam projects are all within the appropriate environmental limits. The people who have been making a lot of noise should do their research first and not start talking shit even before they know their facts. Sarawak is a land filled with rivers and therefore, it is most suitable to make dams. So, get your facts right first! I'm sure all rainforests will be preserved accordingly.

Just one thing though, to the loud mouths of the peninsula - you guys just love to make so much noise and yet do you know that all these dams are for your own good? Do you think Sarawakians need so many dams for our electricity? We have more than enough already now and the government know that! It's because we have to sacrifice our land to provide for you, that's why we have to build these dams. So, perhaps, just shut your mouth!

Green Peas

This is quite a random post but I know I must say something about green peas. Anyway, have any of you out there bought/eaten Ayam Brand's Green Peas before? Have you guys/gals realised that there seems to be something amiss about the green peas? In my personal opinion, I believe those are not green peas at all. In fact, they're "kacang kuda" dyed green. If you don't believe me, go buy one yourself and check the water these green peas are soaked in. It's all green and I also believe that if they're really green peas, I don't think they'll discolour that much to even colour the soaking water green. Besides, green peas don't taste like those produced by Ayam Brand. Even those frozen ones we get packaged together with sweet corn and carrot are much better. What do you guys think? Just a thought, a random one at that.

I don't know if I'm being paranoid but I trust that many companies out there, especially big ones, are resorting to cheaper productions and larger profits these days. It's quite a norm actually, so I won't be surprised if what I said above is true. It's just too bad that our consumer associations are not doing enough like those in the European/North American countries. If we happen to have a society like those in the UK, one complain and there goes everything for the company. Don't look at me like I'm some kind of shoe polisher for all things West. I'm just saying the truth, I've lived four years in the UK and I know how good their government is. Trust me, I'm still proud to be Malaysian but I just thought that Malaysians ought to/must be better off.

HHHMMM...Need I Say More?

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex. “The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.

In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore. They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students. Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”

“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said. “Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men. “This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said. “This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP

OK, I'm all for reducing the rates of crimes against women and girls here in Malaysia. With the amount of rape cases and premarital sex increasing by the year, it's quite scary to think that in a country where religion and values are of utmost importance, such insanity should be the least of our worries. But it seems otherwise.

Anyway, changing our school uniforms (to something less sexier? how more can it be changed?) is definitely not the way for us to reduce such crimes or to even prevent them. I believe education is key and that perhaps is the single most important thing for everyone to look into when it comes to solving such crimes in Malaysia.

There's also the other thing. Isn't it just true that it's human nature when we're told not to do something or prevent from doing something, we just love to do it more? Well, the more controlled a human is, the wilder they'll get. Trust me, it's certainly true. Case in point - how many more anti-piracy programs do we need? Are the consumers even afraid of being caught? Worst still, are these VCD/DVD peddlers even afraid of the government/officers-in-charge of anti-piracy? Sad to say, they're having a ball actually. If you happen to visit a shopping centre in USJ, the whole place is dedicated/filled with pirated goodies. Whatever you want, just name it, you got it.

Politics = Greed!

Just when you thought the world could not get any worse, here comes another dumbass government acting like it's so great! I just can't believe the world is filled with stupid idiotic people like that. How can a governMent reject foreign aids in time of needs? And how can theY just keep these foreign Aids, oNce accepted, for their top generals and forget about their citizens? Here's soMething I would like to shAre - if you want to be gReat/successful/rich/famous, be cruel! The crueler, the better! Trust me, it will surely work! Like a charm!

F.U.R.K. (Fuck You RapidKL)

Never in my life have I ever need to wait for a bus for nearly two hours! Thanks to RapidKL and Metrobus, only in West Malaysia you get this kind of fucking service! Rapid indeed! And guess what, after two painful hours of waiting and wasting my time standing like a fool in the middle of nowhere, the bus never came and I have to take a taxi.

And as you've read from my previous post about the best and most luxurious taxi service in the whole world, you'd know that only in West Malaysia you can get the best service. West Malaysia, Truly The Best!!! Seriously, I wonder what the tourists would think of this kind of service. Oh yeah, I forgot. There's another bunch of taxis that help to protect the good name of West Malaysia. They go around being so kind to the tourists and so polite and well, you get it! Polish shoes all the way!

And we Malaysians, it's just too bad we're not fair-skinned and light-haired (Jinjang bengs and lians notwithstanding, sorry fellas!).

Wake Up!

Have you ever taken a taxi in Malaysia and get so frustrated with the service provided? Indeed, I'm very sure it's very common and without a doubt, of the ten taxis you take in Malaysia, all ten provide the world's lousiest service!!!

I'm really pissed with the level of service these taxi drivers provide. Some don't even bother to use the meter and charge so excessively, you thought you'd bleed from the neck without anything cutting it. And worse still, these taxi drivers push their seats so far back, people sitting behind can't even sit and there's no leg room left at all!!!

What's more, these taxis smell so bad even my unwashed socks smell like French perfume!!! Anyway, the government ought to do something about this but then again, what more can I say. Sigh!!!

Another Dumb Blonde Moment!

PM agrees to Sabah's request for more government posts.

What more can I say? Only now? How about Sarawak?

Need I Say More?

“Without East Malaysia, Barisan would have been done for,” said a KL-based political analyst, referring to the recent election results.
