Merdeka?

..Malaysia celebrating Independence Day today...31st August, 2010..for the 53rd time..'Merdeka Day' or Independence Day...same thing..and i guess i will not be the only soul on earth to write bout this day..actually this has got nothing to do with the celebration or the auspicious day itself but what i want to talk bout here is the actual definition of 'Merdeka' or Independence according to myself or to some of us or what is the actual meaning or definition?

Everyone in this country, in fact every soul in this world knows what Independence is all about, i mean the word Independence or Merdeka to us...when i was a kid Merdeka means holiday,school off, time to go see the parade or at least time with my mum for the movies or what not..or the least time to be at home spent wit the family and as usual the afternoon out with my childhood friends go 'lepak' at the padang or kedai and shout the word 'MERDEKA!'..at least three times...as i grew older nothing change accept that instead of spending time with my family i chose to spend time with my hmmm..so called girlfriend, 'awek','marka' or whatever u call it at that time...from Ipoh travel to KL with a group of friends in the name of celebrating Merdeka Day at Dataran Merdeka,with all the traffic jams and what not but still the spirit of celebrating Merdeka Day but end up either in 11LA or Phase 2(..to the older folks, i'm sure you guys knew where this places are and type of 'things' happening here,to the younger generations,,11LA what?..anyhow..still shouting 'Merdeka!Merdeka!Merdeka!'..nothing changed, only the type of environment and the way i celebrated this auspicious day. Don't tell me you've never done this or at least something like i did..i'm sure if not all,some of you did.

After being married and what not, Merdeka Day celebration became a different entity altogether and when your kids asked you what is Merdeka Day and why are we supposed to celebrate this day,it became, all of a sudden a very patriotic kinda day where you explained Merdeka just like in the history books.Why?because you wanted your next of kin or your children to understand and really appreciate what Merdeka means.Just like what my mother told me long ago but as usual,i ignored and at that time,it doesnt make sense.Not that i m more patriotic now compared to the old days but i guess when you come of age it is just looks different, and the definiton is slightly different from what you see all this while.

Well folks, when we celebrate Merdeka this year after 53 years of it.What have you actually done for the country?Have you ever asked yourself?i did and till this moment i am still trying to figure out what are my actual contributions to my beloved country.Sadly,i have not contributed anything other than income tax(if this pass as a contribution to the country but in other areas,zip,nada,none whatsoever!)

We have come a long way to be what we are today.Are we satisfied or do we really show progress?I am talking bout the race-the Malay race in particular.What i see is still a race full of complacency,hatred,envious of anything that makes more money than them especially if the thng that moves is a Malay and still at the same level eventhough there are some achievement from some of us but as a whole,we are still not 'Merdeka' from ourselves.Want to call it a DILEMMA?.yup..a dilemma indeed,a dilemma which was brought upon us by ourselves.Oopps..i guess i m not gonna talk bout this anymore.'You Know Who' will be pissed and will say that i have no idea of what is going on with my own race.So be it.

If we are really 'Merdeka' in its true sense,why are there still unborn or even born babies being dumped out in the open and now its like a daily occurrence.Is this what we really want?Where did we go wrong?Are these the fruits of independence?Are the teachers not teaching the younger kids wahts right and what is not?Have our education system failed?Baby dumping is just the tip of the iceberg.Many more things we see today that we can never be proud of.Mat Rempit or as the call it now Samseng Jalanan(..as if this makes a difference),Snatch Theft,Rapes,Murders,Incest,Punks,Skinheads and what nots.These are not the type of Merdeka that i personally want to have a be a part of.

Merdeka is not only for the old folks or at least for the folks above 40 but it should be for all but what and how do we really achieve Merdeka,either to ourselves,the country, our thinking and even the way we think of others.What is Merdeka?Some of us called ourselves liberal thinking people and we should not be bothered bout this but since this is my blog and i m writing it so,what the heck...like they say nowadays...ada aku kesah?

i felt like i m not making sense with what i wrote above but i just felt like i need to write something bout all this.So many things on my mind right now...and i cant seems to put it in the right sequence but this is what i felt like writing.

Once again..i think Merdeka means..free from being a 'wannabe',free from financial strains,free from being under the influence of anyone,free to think and say what you wanna say,free from being used and step on always,free for making decisions and controlling the path that you want to take and free from doubts and suspicion on whatever or whomever you're with and most of all FREE to always knwo and learn the actual reason or purpose why you are here in the first place...that's Merdeka to me for now..lots more free of a lot of things but i guess enough for now...

so peeps, no matter where you are,who you are,what you are or who you are gonna be..Merdekakan yourselves from the things that is holding you back in achieving your dreams and goals..from being used by anyone for their own benefits..and always have a mind which is always "Merdeka!..NEVER let yourselves be used or influenced by anyone against what you really wanna do..easier said than done,eh?

Merdekakan diri anda dari dijajah secara tidak langsung dan Merdekakan diri anda dari diri anda sendiri sebelum anda cuba hendak merdekakan diri anda dari aspek lain...

last but not least folks...Selamat Meyambut Hari Merdeka ke 53...Semoga Kemerdekaan yang kita kecapi akan terus bermakna dan tidak hanya sekadar perarakan di Dataran Merdeka dan laungan MERDEKA di kelab-kelab malam...

salam n sayang always...

A Very Sad Day For All Malaysians....A Rebate Story!

Today the queues at all post office were very, very long indeed.Some of us even came as early as 0730hrs just to get the RM625.00 rebate as promised by the government but I felt really,really sad cause once again Pak Lah and his dwarves managed to make the 'rakyat' suffer' again and insulted every single Malaysian as if all of us are beggars!What I really don't understand is why give a rebate due to the oil price being hiked?Why the rakyat made to suffer the long queue just to get the rebate?Can't the think tank of the government thought of any other better ways to give the rebate to the rakyat?I am really sad and the same time really pissed off by the government's decision on this matter!I know I am not a specialist or one of the learned people in finance but i am sure there are better ways other than to make the rakyat made to look like beggars in their own country!

The problem that most of vehicle owners are facing now is mainly the oil price which is very unthinkable since we are an oil producing country.If the government really wants to help the rakyat or the vehicle owners they should give a rebate but not in this manner but they could have rebated or deducted the insurance that we have to pay every time we renew our roadtax or they could even abolished road tax altogether cause i am sure it will not harm the country cause other major countries are doing it or they don't even have road tax in the first place.The government could also abolished the tax for all cars which actually jacked up the price of all cars and in Malaysia the cars sold here are very much higher than other countries,just because the government felt that it must be taxed to up to 300%!
Where did the financial think tank came from..i heard that someone from a bank was appointed to run the country's economy but can't he thought of a better method to manage our finance?
I am really sad today and i am sure for the days to come i will be even more sad with the prices of basic necessities looming around the corner to be hiked up as well!

I hope there will be a day that i won't be sad anymore!Thank you Pak Lah for making us a beggar in our own country!

p/s Lets make it to more than a million ya!Will definitely serve the purpose!Now is the time to act!

The RM2 Billion Question?

The government announced a 10% cut on all of their ministers and cabinet members entertainment allowance on top of other things such as directing them to not go vacationing out of Asia.They did it proudly as if the announcement that they did was something that could really help a lot of the 'rakyat' such as myself, a servant or to be exact a clown whom got paid like a dog in the private sector!

Every main newspaper front paged the so called cost cutting measures taken by the government.They even dare say that the burden due to the oil price increase must be shared and borne by both the rakyat and the government which came to the question, who are actually paying the salaries of the ministers?What do they mean share the burden?

What i really am asking here is if a 10% cut on their so-called 'elaun keraian' or in plain english is 'entertainment allowance' could save the government RM2 billion, what is the actual amount of allowance are these people really getting?10% (RM2 billion) is a fraction of a very,very,very large amount.You do the maths!!If the whole entertainment allowance(90% more) and paid vacation are scrapped off..we will have a lot of money to actually subsidize the oil and the rakyat will not have to be burdened by the price increase of everything in the market.Have the ministers really been down here to the shops?Didn't they notice that even the price of chicken eggs have increased?I am sure these ministers did not do their groceries by themselves and I am sure even before this they don't even know the price of anything....cause all of their groceries are handled by their servants, 3 to 4 of them!(..a minister even guaranteed that other price's of goods will not increase due to the removal of oil subsidy!Is he plain stupid or just trying to be stupid!Even a pre-schooler knows that if the price of petrol or diesel increased, transportation costs will definitely increase, and when that happens all things which requires to be transported throughout the country will increase!Yet, he is a minister in charge of all these!Makes me really sick!!)

As a responsible government, asking the rakyat to actually change their lifestyle is not the correct way of handling the oil price increase.What happened to the profits our government make from the increase of palm oil?Where is our other resources?I am sure even though the world oil price increased but the price of other commodities also increase,meaning our government still makes profit if not from oil.One other thing is, we are also a producer of oil!Can't we increase our production for local use and stay with our own price instead of following the world trend??What they should have done is to actually work harder to get more investors from outside to invest and boost and generate more revenue for the country and not by cutting cost because what i felt is..what is left for us to cut since all of our money or salary that we took home every month is not even enough to get by...and that is just to cater for necessities!Change our lifestyle?Tell me how?(..if i am not wrong, someone told me that Pak Lah said they cannot continue with the subsidy and the government has got not enough money because all the money have been used for the salary hike of the government sector?Is this for real?Please correct me if i am wrong but what did any of us in the private sector received from the government?Did the salary increase for the government servants have any relevance to us in the private sectors?This is what we get from a leader like this!)

I am very tired of all these 'wayang' given to the rakyat by this government?I bet tomorrow will be another day where the rakyat will still lose no matter what the leader announce or do!I just pray that this will all stop and i pray for the future of the rakyat and especially my kids!

Will write more when i can gather up the strength left in my soul!

The Nincompoops

nincompoop (plural nincompoops)

/ˈnɪnkəmˌpup, ˈnɪŋ-/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation

1. A silly or foolish person

1905: Baroness Emmuska Orczy, The Scarlet Pimpernel [1]

• No wonder that Chauvelin's spies had failed to detect, in the apparently brainless nincompoop, the man whose reckless daring and resourceful ingenuity had baffled the keenest French spies...

  
  

..i came across this term in Yahoo Answer recently and the first thing that came to my mind when i saw this is..our current government now..actually Pak Lah was the first one that came to mind but when i saw the plural of this word..the whole government came soon after! At first i thought it was funny..i mean,the way it sounded when you pronounce it and how it sounded when repeated but soon after when reality sinks in, the funny feeling disappeared immediately...and i began to worry especially when the images of my kids whom are all still below 6 years old and the thought of their future began flashes in front of your eyes and reality really began to set in!


Will they be proud of their origins?Will they be proud of their country?What will happen to them 20 years down the road?..also which party will they vote for?(...?)


Am i or are all of us being governed by nincompoops?Did we really let nincompoops rule the country?The same question even though with different ways of asking came to my mind and the answer is..yes!We are being governed by nincompoops and by letting them do that actually made us becoming nincompoops ourselves!


What have we done all these years?Have we been too comfortable with everything that has been spoon fed to us or we are just being ignorant and have that 'comfort zone' in every each of our mind?


I believe that when someone is 'in denial', everything seems ok to him and he felt that no other occurrence or bad things will ever happen to him.If only an ordinary person is still 'in denial',then i felt it should be ok cause it won't effect the mass majority but when a leader of a country is 'in denial', then this is when the images of your children's future flashes right before your eyes!


In order to have the country back on track towards what every one of us long for, someone have to really lead or i guess everyone of us have to lead ourselves towards that goal.All the allegations towards the nincompoops have to be proven with all sorts of evidence and we actually put a stop to the era of the nincompoops! Why i say this is even if every single one of us keep writing allegations on any one of this nincompoops..this will never end,trust me!


Someone with actual prove and evidence should come forward and bring all the nincompoops to justice and justice will be served once and for all!For example,if anyone have proof on insider tradings that involves the government or any nincompoop related to that particular matter, bring forward the evidence!If anyone have any prove or evidence on any of the nincompoops either from the current government or the future nincompoops fro either sides..bring it out!If you now that your evidence will disappear when reported to any party..then,bring it here to the independent media and let it follow its course cause if you really have it, the nincompoops involved will surely try to take it away from you!


I am amaze on the blogs by our fellow Malaysians and the comments given to blogger either to any ordinary blogger or from high ranking or prominent blogger, everything seems to point to one direction...the removal of the NINCOMPOOP and the NINCOMPOOPS!


So, let us not let the nincompoops play us out anymore and let us not be nincompoops ourselves!

Another Comment for Muhammad Taib- awaiting moderation..still!

Another one of my comment that was also awaiting moderation...so, here goes..

1. lord musan Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

   Salam TS,
   Tahniah saya ucapkan pada TS kerana ‘berani’ turun ke kampung-kampung walaupun TS sendiri tahu adalah mustahil utk TS pergi ke semua kampung yang berada dalam negara ini.Sekurang-kurangnya ada juga menteri yang turun ke kampung dari menteri yang hanya tahu membina resort di dalam kampung untuk kegunaan sendiri.

   Pertama sekali,saya bukan hendak mengkritik atau memperkecilkan keupayaan atau niat TS tetapi ada beberapa perkara yang saya rasa TS perlu tahu dalam melaksanakan niat dan program sebegini.Saya yakin dengan masa dan kesabaran banyak perkara di kampung yang dapat diperbaiki lagi.

   TS, banyak masalah-masalah yang saya sendiri lihat di kampung-kampung seluruh negara dan antaranya adalah seperti berikut:~

   Tempat Pembuangan Sampah- Masalah kebersihan di kampung-kampung ini dari segi pembuangan sampah yang tidak teratur seperti dibuang ke kawasan belakang rumah dan menimbulkan masalah bau,lalat dan penyakit.

   Sistem Perparitan - sistem saliran air iaitu longkang-longkang yang menghubungkan kawasan tepi rumah ke longkang besar.Kebanyakan kampung memiliki longkang besar di jalan besar di hadapan rumah tetapi sekiranya diteliti longkang dari kawasan rumah penduduk tidak ada dan ini menyebabkan saliran dari dapur terus ke atas tanah dan ada juga saliran dari tandas dan bilik air terus ke kawasan tanah di belakang rumah.

   Ada banyak lagi masalah-masalah yang kalau disebutdisini boleh memalukan orang kampung tetapi TS boleh melihat sendiri perkara yang berlaku sabanhari dikampung-kampung ini. Salah satu masalah utama yang TS harus cuba perbaiki adalah dari segi menataliti orangkampung atau ketua kampung itu sendiri.

   TS harus cuba ubah mentaliti mereka dari golongan yang mengharapkan bantuan dari kerajaan (..saya pernah melalui pengalaman dimana penduduk kampung meminta bantuan dari YB untuk memasang pintu bilik air atau tandas kerana selama ini penduduk rumah tersebut menggunakan kain untuk menutup tandas itu tetapi yang meghairankan saya mereka telah duduk di rumah tersebut selama lebih 15 tahun dengan anak bini termasuklah anak2 perempuan yang masih remaja..) kepada golongan yang mengharapkan kejayaan atas usaha sendiri.

   TS juga harus ubah mentaliti kampung yang sentiasa memnita sumbangan untuk apa sebab sekalipun kepada kampung yang akan memberi sumbangan apabila ada insan atau kampung lain yang memerlukan.

   Saranan saya TS,

   Sekiranya TS ingin pergi ke kampung-kampung yang lain,TS tak perlu memberitahu kepada wakil kampung atau ajensi yang bertanggungjawab tetapi TS boleh terus pergi dan menginap di homestay-homestay yang ada trdapat dikampung-kampung yang terlibat.Ini kerana sekiranya wakil kampung-kampung ini tahu akan kedatangan TS, ajensi dan wakil kampung akan bertungkus lumus untuk menutup segala masalah yang ada di kampung terutamanya dari segi masalah yang disebabkan oleh kurang pemantauan pihak ajensi sendiri.(..bukan semua kampung or ajensi camtu..ada segelintir sahaja!).Ini juga adalah perlu untuk mengelakkan TS dari dilayan oleh orang-orang yang hipokrit yang lama-lama boleh menjadikan TS sendiri seorang yang hipokrit.

   TS juga harus melawat setiap penduduk kampung yang ada dalam kampung itu tidak kira berapa jumlah rumah di kampung itu ataupun sekrang2nya 70% dari semua penduduk untuk benar-benar tahu akan segala masalah yang ada di dalam kampung tersebut dan bukan hanya melawat rumah-rumah yang ditunjukkan oleh wakil kampung atau wakil ajensi kerana sekiranya ditunjukkan sedemikan ianya akan hanya menjadi satu lawatan politik ke kampung.Dari sini juga TS akan dapat melihat sendiri siapa yang sebenar2nya mendiami kampung tersebut.Adakah orang kita sendiri atau pun penuh dgn pendatang asing?

   Dari segi pelaksanaan pula, apa yang TS lakukan dgn mengarahkan KEMAS memberi bantuan penuh kepada ibu tunggal sepeti yang TS maklumkan adalah baik tetapi TS mesti melihat dari segi lain atau dari sudut keseluruhan penduduk sesuatu kampung itu.Dan juga TS perlu memantau ajensi-ajensi yang terlibat kerana biasanya masalah2 seperti itu hanya ditangani apabila ada menteri datang tetapi apabila menteri balik,2-3 bulan selepas itu masalah itu akan kembali sepeti sebelumnya malah ada yang menjadi lebih teruk lagi.

   Dalam era ini atau zaman ini, status kampungperlu ditngkatkan lagi dari segi ekonomi, prasarana dan terutamanya dari segi mentaliti penduduk dikampung.Kita mahu lihat penduduk kampung tidak lagi mengharapkan bantuan dari samada BN atau PR tetapi mahu melihat semua penduduk kampung berjaya meningkatkan tahap pemikiran diri sendiri.Tidak dinafikan tahap ekonomi penduduk kampung ramai yang sudah meningkat tetapi apa yang kita tidak mahu adalah tahap mentaliti yang rendah walaupun taraf hidup sudah tinggi.

   itu sahajalah pandangan saya untuk TS berkenaan kampung-kampung di negara ini.Dari segi pihak KKLW pula,TS harus benar-benar arif tentang projek-projek yang dikelola oleh pegawai-pegawai TS untuk menghapuskan atau sekurang-kurangnya buat masa ini mengurangkan gejala rasuah yang berlaku (..sekiranya ada!)dari peringkat pembantu peribadi atau setiausaha politik TS sendiri sehinggalah ke pegawai-pegawai di bawah termasuklah semua Setiausaha-setiausaha Bahagian,Ketua-ketua penolong setiausaha dan semua sekali yang terlibat!(..sekali lagi saya katakan..sekiranya ada gejala rasuah di kementerian TS)barulah nasib penduduk di luar bandar betul-betul dapat diubah.Kalau tak ada gejala rasuah, KUDOS dan SYABAS saya ucapkan.

   sekian, trima kasih.

Sampai Bila Lagi..till the fat lady sings a different tune?

Nowadays in the mainstream media, every news that was served to the 'rakyat' evolves around how our PM is trying to rectify and trying on how to solve some problems which is currently 'tsunami-ing' the country.

From shortage of rice supply, increase in the international oil price to the demands made by Cuepacs to the government (...in the current Pak Lah's government, seems like the only employees or workers that deserved to be rewarded are from the government sector but i have never heard of him trying to fight for the workers in the private sector which as a matter of fact, contributed to the government's economy much more that the government servants!Where is the fairness in this?Are we the private sectors workers not relevant to the country?) and latest the ultimatum(...threat if i may say!) given by one of the Sabahan's MP to the Federal Government to on how the PM is still trying to show he is not responsible for the defeat in the last GE.Everything seems to show that the PM and the government as a whole is really struggling or in other words working for the 'rakyat' and seems like they are the only last hope for the people of Malaysia.That's the mainstream media.(..still trying to 'main wayang' everyday!)

Otherwise in the independent media or lovingly known as blogs, majority of the bloggers that wrote or gave their opinions are mostly against Pak Lah and all the ministers on the PM's failure to admit defeat but most irritating of all is on his 'big-headedness' plus his swollen ego not to admit and accept that the main reason or the failure of the government now is merely because of HIMSELF and number of his dwarfs!What i say here is not simply words that was concocted through sheer anger by myself but as everyone in the country can witness for themselves through most of the blogs either by a nobody or even by our very own ex-PM Tun M.

The issue here is, until when should all the bloggers or the 'rakyat' as a whole have to keep up with this nonsense.Everyday, thousands if not hundred of thousands opinions and comments have been published in the world wide web and everybody is talking or writing about Pak Lah and 99% of it are voices of dissatisfaction on himself particularly, his decision making skills, his lack of information on anything, his capability of handling any situation, his inability to provide truthful or at least logical answers every time he was asked or interviewed by anybody and also on his inability to separate work and family as well as all the blogs about his SIL and the number of dwarfs tagging behind him.

Some put the blame on Tun M for choosing Pak Lah as his successor but how in the hell Tun M can ever know Pak Lah will turn to be the man he is today.Nobody knows when an angel can suddenly turn to be the worse of a demon just because of greed and power!Just as he will never expect Nazri to become really 'biadap' and know why Nazri can be such a person to him now!(..sorry!i think everybody knows the reason why!tsk!tsk!)

Its been quite some time now and i guess all the 'rakyat' have become really fed-up with the 'wayang' which is being showed to us everyday but every single comments or opinions by the majority of' rakyat' were easily dismissed by Pak Lah saying those were justs words of slander against him!This is where the actual problem lies..the inability to accept his weakness and the ability to actually 'sedar diri' and accept criticism form anyone!Have you tried posting any comments on 'Warkah Untuk PM"?It said that you can write directly to the PM and he will answer personally.Tell me if any of anyone's question posted there have ever been answered?(...the criticism ,i mean!)i know my question till now have not been answered by him!

Since BN lost the last GE, todate no concrete action has been taken to ensure that the 'rakyat' will benefit from the 'mandate' given to Pak Lah..as he said it, what we can only see now is how he is struggling to keep his throne and by doing that he is actually making things worse. Now whenever he opens his mouth in any event or occasion, seems like he is desperately saying indirectly he is not to be blame for all the chaos that is happening in the government now but please blame it on something else!Supported by the ministers who are trained to lick ass and kiss butts!(..really don't know what to do with these species!)

In my opinion, if Pak Lah and his number of dwarfs really wanted to work for the people,he should have done it since he came into power and he was given ample time to prove himself to the rakyat but after 3 years and a half, he failed miserably due to his lack of responsibility towards his position as Pm, his position got over his head immediately upon appointment as PM and he thought that as PM he is invincible.Now ven if he is genuinely trying to save UMNO or the BN government, he is too late cause now every single thing that he intended to do desperately seems like a mockery to the intelligence of the rakyat and a mockery to the whole system.

So, let us ask ourselves one question,Till when should we let this go on?Do we wait till every single thing that the past leaders have worked for vanished into thin air just because of a very incapable leader/s?Till when should all 'rakyat' express their opinions in the independent media?Till when should we still listen to the desperate plea of a failed leader?

Ask yourself this and decide for yourself for the sake of our future generation!
