DISASTER RECOVERY - A MALAYSIAN STORY

Fellow Perakians & Malaysians, GREETINGS FROM MARS

Today is almost 100 days after the 12th General Election, Anuar Ibrahim is still the PM in waiting, Pak Lah is still the PM and all wannabee politicians in Perak waiting to govern can still keep dreaming.

I am not a fortune teller nor am I a soothsayer, but this much I know, non of u jokers will come into absolute power but dreaming is good as it keeps your spirit up and for some glimer of hope of aspiring "What might have been".

Im totally disappointed to hear that UMNO MT afer 2 days of retreat, finally wants to have a plan to win back the minds of souls of the chinese and indian and to some extent the malays.

Imagine this being China after the devastating earth quake and it takes 100 days to plan a search and rescue operation?

This is exactly what is happening in Malaysia since time in memorial as its the inbuilt attitude of our fore fathers and administration of the country and have been ingrained into society.

With first class infra and third class mentality, what can I expect but total and sheer disappontment!!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong??? Fundamentally, we are screwed (thru lack of political and administration resolve) but the power that are - still refuse to acknowledge their shortcomings with the usual and common excuses , "semua ada, tapi pegawai tak dapat kendalikan kerana kurang pengalaman ataupun kurang mahir etc".

Im just so sick of all these paltry excuses that it makes me sick to the stomach as the common phase, "sabor, sabor, mesti sabor - in semua cobaan", and in the 21st Century thats a load of crap and BS.

It was said by the british in the sixties that, "the Malays of Malaya is the kindest and most obliging race in the world", thanks and no thanks.

Ninety percent of my friends are Malays and Muslims and I can vouch for that British comment but I could not say that for our Federal Government of for that matter UMNO.

Im sure out of that many members, there are capable leaders of reasonable compassion and distinguish ability to lead all of us (citizens of Malaysia) out of this political impasse and stabilise the situation for the sake of the country.

Do what is needed, broker any deals and make it work at all cost for stability and the sake of the common rakyat.

How much advantage can be taken from the internet for the cause??

How to get thru to the masses?

How to change the mindset?

What mechanism to undertake the task?

Who to implement the task?

Budget?

Horse trading?

The list goes on and on and on..........................but the final question is, "Who is willing to take the first step in a journey of a thousand miles and how much longer before its too late?

My best wishes goes to the present, the waiting, the potential and the pirates leaders for the corvetted crown of power in Putrajaya.

Inflation cum Recession - The Death Kneel

Fellow Malaysians,

It has finally happened, the straw which broke the camel's back, the envitable truth and its ugly.

As of midnight tonight, all of us will have to spend extra 41% for fuel (petrol) i.e. 78 cents extra per liter of petrol making it RM2.70 per litre.

Diesel pricing is even worst at an increase of RM0.92 cents per litre.

The reality of the free economy ie. free floating of prices depending on supply and demand and speculators has finally resulted in the worst ever senario for Malaysians and the world over.

This will lead to price increase for all item be it consumables or not plus services and all of us will suffer immediately from its effects and domino effect.

These ramifications does not augur well for the ruling party, Barisan Nasional and the Pakatan Rakyat will use it as a tool to degrade the present government for being insensitive and most of us common folks will want to believe lies as hopes seems to have faded from the ruling party.

The world order is ever changing for the worst rather than for the better as we are so interlinked globally making everything so absurd and unbelievable but obviously true and that scares me to the bone as life will be even harder now.

We worry every day almost about everything and its ironical that we are now worrying about out daily livelihood and the future of our children.

The point I am trying to make is that politically, we are screwed as stability will be rocked and confidence will be affected and please brace yourself for the worst or possible for a change of government should they fail to arrest the issues affecting the lives of the rakyat.

The Pakatan Rakyat will promise the world to the rakyat for some political mileage as all of us needs to be comforted in times of need and may God please bless our souls.

MCA - Bungles Again

Good morning fellow Malaysians

It never ceases to bewilder or amaze me the type of leaders and ministers we have in Parliment and in this morning session, lets talk about MCA....please note that PDRM is now monitoring the bloggers and should u not hear from me again, its most probably I would have been charged for sedition and rotting in jail...so here goes....

Besides the transport ministry (always) screwing up, the latest saga, Dato Ong Tee Keat has imposed 3 new things during his tenor:

1. No tinted mirror for vehicles
2. No neon head lamps for vehicles
3..Must have rear seat belts

One might ask, After all these years, why now all over again?

Please note that under Tun Ling the black box to control the speed of buses were launched.....$$$$ changed hands.....and like mondo magic.....it died a natural death...and after that many innocent malaysian still died from accidents involving buses...what happened to Puspakom (oops..RM60 will solve the problem)....addicts as bus drivers...(oops RM120 will solve the medical report......report to CVLB...(oops no one picking up the phone)...report to JPJ...(oops no manpower and no equipment for enforcement)...the list and reasons and excuses goes on and on and one..and on............

What all minister, ksu, tksu, offices etc fails to learn or recognise is that the lack of enforcement will doom any project and after 50 years of trial an error, one would expect them to learn but alas.....somethings will just never change....

Imagine the amount of deaths on our roads every day and every festive season and still OPS this and OPS that has failed to yield result.......why...cause we are dealing with a bunch of idiot.........

So if some ASSHOLE spends RM13billion of the tax payers money purportedly to build railway tracks and at the end of the day......we dont have enough trams and carriages to support the infra...what can I say...but screw the MCA, since they have been in control of the housing, transport and health ministries since 1969 (my facts could be wrong), and most likely the gangs and their associates will still be rewarded with TUN at the end of the day.

What is wrong with the system>>>GREED>>>GREED>>>GREED....is the answer and the moral, integrity, honour and well being of the rakyat is a fairy tale dream.

Back to the recent fiasco policy.......

1. if ure afraid of robbery (using tinted cars)...BAN ALL FOREIGNERS...as stats shows most crime done by org asing

2. if the halogen lights are bright....BAN THE IMPORT AND MAKE IT A CRIME TO SELL

3. rear seat belts......BAN SEX SO THAT less babies are made and thus no population growth so no problem

Imagine an average family in Malaysia earns combined salaries of RM3000 and to worry about food, school, education, rent, housing etc and how they have to take a cab (oops that is also a crime) and who the F>>> can afford an MPV to move the family around.....so Dato Ong Te Keat, please use your learned brain for better purpose.....
like proposing again that MCA be a multi racial party and think only of position and forget about public service......and the well being of the rakyat

As the merry go round and circus carries on in this beautiful and prestine country, my children's future are at stake and I will definately know who to vote for come the next election failing which, I might just migrate and leave.

"LOST IT AGAIN" - A Perak Story

Welcome Perakian,

Well the cat is finally out of the bag, "PERAK", has lost yet another potential investor i.e. Petroleum Refinery..............hard to believe but true.....

And please do not believe anything u read in the news daily except the SUN, as a senior state exco said, many are coming to invest in PERAK, what a lie and bull....

We were given to understand that before the election in February, the former state government had signed an MOU with the Arabs for investment (REFINERY) in Manjung, Sitiawan and since the state was lost to the opposition nothing was done.

It seems that the opposition wanted to re-evaluate the deal (when they came to power) in order to determine or otherwise, the existence of, "shaddy deals", before endorsing the deal again???????? Thus the delay and the latest news was that the Arabs were seeking alternative sites in another state........" CONGRATULATION, U A..HOLES, U F..... it up again".

Hello, hello, hello anyone home u stupid f...., with RM16 billion (phase 1 only) involved, who cares whether there is any hanky panky involved, just deal with it (any way u can), because the most important thing is to ensure the state benefits and the rakyat will at last enjoy some good measure of development after all these years.

That is what u get when, u allow you judgement to be clouded by politics and yr good business sense out the window.....

However, the plot thickens as the deal involves land of at least 1000 acres or more and the sale of Teluk Rubiah Golf Club was part of the compromise and I wonder, who else is involved and maybe a search at the ROC would shade some light and maybe Citizen Nades of the SUN should start snooping around.

The silver state is already dying and wouldn't this be good for the state and for the rakyat some glimmer of hope, and as it is after almost 90 days of governing, Perak is as good as dead as the MB (PAS) does not call the shots but the Ngeh Brothers Sdn Bhd (DAP) being the puppeteers.....

They are so riled up in trying to protect their position and ass that the ordinary rakyat is being neglected and the signs of strain from the pent up frustation are beginning to show........"wait for the next rakyat revolt".

Economic wise, there is a complete slowdown, and to top it off, PKR and PAS vice versa are setting up branches in their own DUN, jostling or positioning for the coming election.

Arent you brothers in Islam suppose to share the spoils of victory along with your half brother in the DAP???????? Why the distrust and the grand standing?????

If trust and unity could not be reached or achieved, can the rakyat honestly trust you bunch of jokers to govern now or the coming election?????

As Deputy Chief Minister of Penang, rightly put it, Quote, " We never expected to win, lest to govern and we are shocked at out victory".

So, my fellow Perakians with so many unqualified wakil rakyat put there by us (ranging from house wifes, part time entrepreneurs, wireman, car salesman, insurance salesman, post man etc) at the moment in PK governing the state of Perak, what does our future hold????????

As one senior bumi businessman with Class "A" license said, "abang saya mau cari peluang di KL lah, Ipoh sudah habis dan tidak ada peluang lagi lah".............

Gempa Bumi Skala Rikter 8.9 - UMNO

Hello again fellow Malaysians and Perakians.

We have yet been slapped again by yet another suprise, Tun Mahathir has resigned from UMNO.....to most of us, its nothing new and to some, just couldn't care less.

Take a deep breath and think carefully, the repercussion affecting us is, "clear and present danger", is as real as Anuar Ibrahim being the next PM.....

Most of us are still shocked by the defeat of BN (only losing 2/3 majority)and the prevailing after shocks which ensured to the extent that almost all rakyat is just sick and feedup about our political maturity and the lack of consultation in most issues.

Globally, problems are not good at all (politically or economically)and the rising cost of goods and inflation(possibly recession)is right at our door step coupled with what is happening in Malaysia really leaves a sour after taste.

We are just ordinary citizen trying to make ends meet and to keep our families together and hope and pray for a better tomorrow and a better future. But things at this stage does not look good at all and it worries us sick to the stomach about the repercussion that will follow.

The ordinary folk is suffering, financial markets unstable, FDI is slowing down and the old boys who are fighting behind the scenes are making their fight public and claims for justice is just mind boggling.

Dont politicians or muslims believe in "MUZAKARAH", consultative measures in times of need and are we in times of NEED.

It only goes to show that our so called elected, proclaimed and in waiting leaders are selfish and only have one objective in mind, i.e. POWER & GREED and to hell with the rakyat.

In the 21st Century, to witness such abrasive abuse of power is definately very discouraging and the future is indeed dim for our children and generations to come.

The Price of Ignorance - "Rakyat Suffering"

Hello Malaysians and fellow Perakian, I do apologise for my absence, reason being that I am totally fed-up with the overhanging political senario engulfing Malaysia and also my home state of Perak.

I have met many local Perakians who are in business (legit, mainly dealing with state government works) but the complains are the the same all over:-

1. business slowdown
2. collection zero
3. tenders nil
4. rising food prizes
5. state expenses very low

hence the term "Rakyat Suffering", even more coupled with the global financial and food situation compounding the paradigm.

All this would have a compunding effect on the local economy in general and the effect is far reaching and wide.

Question: Will Perakian in general survive the global financial tsunami along with the political tsunami?

Almost ninety days in power, the PR state government is less focus on actual development due to the lack of internally generated funds & limited federal government funding for all aspects related to development plus all sorts of political and adminstration shortfall i.e. Sultanate

State assembly men are also exco members, members of parliment, chairing various state department and fighting for the post of mayor of ipoh amongst the duties of people in power. But the relevant question remains, can one person take on so many responsibilities and at the same time be effective? Answer, definately not.

All of us are still dreaming of a dream team local government to turn things around for BN has failed somewhat in 50 years and PR is suppose to be a saviour is a fallacy or a myth at best.

Compounding the problem BN is still licking their wounds and still directionless. So out faith is sealed.

How can people govern when most of them do no carry business cards (not printed yet)?
What message are you sending to the electorates?
Why are you so sure or unsure of your position?

A senior exco member & member of parliment & chairman of various agencies said that there are 200 willing FDI looking to come to invest in Perak and there was a press release...etc...The key word is "LOOKING INTO", and whether it will materialise is not important as the perception is, "seen to be doing something".

You and I know that it does not hold water and who is he trying to hoodwink? But again that is politics for all u gullible green horns out there, hoping for rainfall. Keep wishing on a star or a miracle!

The so called Qatar company who signed an MOU (Feb 2008)with the previous government to build the first RM16billion dollar refinery in Perak has to renegotiate the deal with the PK government and till today May 2008, I was told that land matters have yet to be settled.

To top it off, the federal government has already issued the license to the investors.

The Qatarist is contemplating a pull out should this land matter not resolved by May latest by June 2008 sends shivers down my spine and Perak again will be condemned to oblivion in terms of development.

Will anyone ever learn that politics and business does not mix and at the expense of the poor rakyat of PERAK and the future of our children and grand children at stake is just too much to bear.

Finally, have all of us made a mistake by voting DAP or PKR or PAS? and your answer is just as good as mine.

Inilah nasib negeri ku Perak dan negara ku Malaysia and may GOD have mercy on my soul.

Never Ending Story

Good evening fellow Perakians, and yes its a day after the Sultans 80th Birthday and Daulat Tuanku from your humble servant.

As I woke up yesterday morning and when I selected channel 502 Astro, I was greeted with the morning news and walaah.....BERNAMA had a quick clip on PERAK and her 34 years of prosperous development and that had me thinking!!!! Where did these people get all these outdated information and seemingly misinformed or through sheer ignorance and probably because Bernama's chairman was being bestowed an official Datuk Seri title on that faithful day.....and congratulations are in order...but u look really stupid by allowing such info to run...no wonder the government lost in the recent election.

All these so called people of stature and supposedly learned personalities, still fails to recognize such irresponsible broad cast of misinformation either in the true light or just blatantly trying to please.

I've virtually lived in Perak all my life even though I was educated, lived and worked abroad for some years but to lay claim that the state has progressed such rapidly seems to be overdoing it i.e. industries, schools, hospitals and places of tourism etc.......isn't that the basic amenities that the government is suppose to provide to all her citizen...or am I still living in Africa........

What Selangor has done in terms of development in Kota Damansara belt is called development if the so called chairman of Bernama does not know what rapid development really means as this small piece of land was fully developed in the short span of 10 years and to compare that with Perak, I am ashamed.

Well I guess if Malaysia is to ever move forward, such mentality should be removed or replaced with personalities of the 21st Century but hey, Malaysia is only 50 years old and can we expect more to say the least...........

The King and Regent has called for closure and move forward for the sake of the rakyat and fulfill all promises made during the election, is a call of responsible monarchy but will the reality of politics ever tow the line......not likely.

UMNO is still ion shambles, MCA at the verge of ruin, Gerakan in silence and MIC virtually missing in action and to top if off....ACA wanted to prosecute someone over RM9.00 bribe and thats the joke of the century......Don't these clowns know, how much time, manpower and resources costs and to have successfully prosecuted this case means nothing as more bigger fishes are still swimming out there, of which they have managed to do nothing......So it goes to show that the PM really has got clowns around him in many guises and I do feel sad for him and all Malaysians.

I use to be ashamed of being a Perakian for lack of development in the past 30 years but now, I am embarrassed to be a Malaysian for the types of behavioral disorder being displayed by all our so called leaders and agencies in government.

So one told me this morning that UMNO is still into power struggle and that goes for all at the federal level inclusive of state level pending the December general assembly and please note in my previous blog, that this was a predictable outcome.

Perak is already reeling from the pains of the 12th General Election with Pakatan Rakyat asking and appealing for funds for development either pledge earlier or recent allocation and my god is this going to get rough and we the rakyat will suffer indefinitely.

Land scam from the previous government is slowly but surely surfacing and that will be another blow to BN and will the rakyat ever trust them again as the mechanism for reconciliation or rescue is still not in place for lack of leadership.

At this stage, I can only lament and plead insanity for tomorrow is not a better day, as days of reckoning and misery is coming and the backlash will effect our lives forever................................

Inilah nasib negeriku PERAK dan negaraku Malaysia.
