I had a dream...Raja Petra is FREEEEE!!!

Hot damn.

Just when I thought that there is no Hope for Malaysia, the one who inspires me is free to think and free to write again. Yes, RPK walked out a free man today. A fantastically good news, to top up a week of fantastically good news for me (read: Mr President Obama).

"Tabik spring" to judge Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad for calling the detention UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and for striking out against another Syed - Syed Hamid Albar, MBBS (Master of the Bodoh-Bodoh-Syedtheads). Syeds all over the country can lift your heads up now. Up YOURS, Albar.

I am going to celebrate this news with a Martini. And when I read RPK's first article after his release, I think I am going to cry. And when RPK throws mud on the faces of those who walk along the Corridors of Power, I am going to roll down laughing myself to tears of glee.

There is still hope for our country. Martin Luther's "I have a dream..." has resulted in the dream transforming into reality for the UNITED States of America. It is only a matter of time for a more united, more free, and more equal Malaysia. With patriots like RPK, Haris Ibrahim and Malik Imthiaz, hope is a fire still burning bright.

Cheers Malaysia. We won today.

The Facts of Life, Now That Hindraf is Illegal

So the government has called Hindraf illegal.
So What?

Q: Are we now suppose to stop wearing orange or saffron?
A: Nope. Colors can't be banned or called illegal. Especially since orange/saffron is the trademark color for most Indians who are Hindus.

Q: Indians not suppose to gather in groups?
A: Impossible! Malaysia will get kicked out from UN...

Q: How about saying out loud the words "Makkal Sakthi"?
A: Why not. It is part of the Tamil vocabulary. Can't ban language now, can you?

Q: Can we still call for the liberation of equal rights?
A: Biasa ler...UMNO and Utusan will call you anti-Islam, anti-Melayu, anti-Malaysia. Syed Albar will shout "ISA!". No change there.

Q: How about ceramah for Indians wearing orange?
A: Ask DAP and PKR leaders to do it in PR states laaaaa....

Q: Are we to keep quiet when places of worship are demolished?
A: Human barricade. FRU. Arrests. Samy will beg to PM to stop temples from being demolished. Temples will still get demolished. Nope, no change.

Q: How about demonstration wearing orange, shouting "Makkal Sakthi"?
A: FRU. ISA. Arrests. Water canons. *Yawn*. Business as usual.

Q: Hmm...what about those Hindraf leaders?
A: Eh, come again? Where have you been? Already in ISA maaaa.....

Q: So, what is new?
A: You tell me.

Hindraf Ban: BODOH! BODOH! BODOH!

After sodomy, and lethargy, I think whining and fantasizing is Malaysia's third and fourth afflictions, at least the afflictions of the government.

Since Hindraf showed up at the Hari Raya open house, there has been non-stop badgering by the PM, the Home Minister, Utusan Malaysia, and even from BN's lap cat, MIC. All because Hindraf supporters wore orange shirts, lined up in one row peacefully, smiled and called for ISA detainees to be released, and wanted to give the PM a Hari Raya card and a teddy...which the police tore up by the way.

Heck, Badawi should be kneeling in gratitute at anyone who is wishing him well nowadays. Instead of whining about not being showered with "Selamat Hari Raya" wishes (he would have had his Selamat Hari Raya wishes if the police had not torn up the card meant for him!). Syed Botak Albar and that MIC guy, Subramaniam are two more foolish SOBs showing their lack of gray matter. Hallo, saaaaar....if you don't like democracy being practised in this country, resign laaaah...you are part of a government for a democratic country. If you tak suka, you KELUAR MALAYSIA!

And now, the latest pearls of shit from another arse from the Home Ministry.

Abdul Aziz cited the incident at the cabinet's open house and alleged that "Hindraf's insolence could not be tolerated as it had angered many, especially Muslims who felt it had marred the spirit of the Hari Raya (Id)," a local daily said.

WTF? Halo Abdul Aziz. You may have felt insulted, because you could not stuff your face full of satay peacefully in a corner, during the open house, but don't try to make it into an issue of Hinduism vs Islam, you peace of lizard crap! And what is this about banning Hindraf?

Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof, a senior official in the Home Ministry, said as Hindraf was not a registered organisation, the ministry's legal unit would look at the technicality of disbanding the group, a media report said today.

Didn't his boss just made a statement that Hindraf DOES NOT EXIST?

“....and there is no such thing as Hindraf as it is an unlawful society. It is not registered,” he (Syed Hamid Albar) said.


But then, his boss, that Albar feller has a tendency to fantasize a little too much...

He said the group’s actions at the recent Hari Raya open house at the Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur could easily have become a danger to public order if the situation had erupted or if one of the members had been carrying something dangerous.

The very fact that so far, only the police and the government has acted like thugs against Hindraf (water canon, chemicals, rough and rude treatments, ISA, jail, arbitary arrests, etc) seems to proof Albar's and Aziz's statements are void of even a single atom of truth.

Anyway, if Hindraf was a registered body, only then you could ban them, moron. But Hindraf is NOT a society. It is a set of principles. It is ubiquitous. Their principles and beliefs are distributed across the community pervasively. Most Indians, hell, most individuals from the minority and even from the majority races could perhaps find resonance in at least one of the issues they are highlighting. So how exactly are you genie-asses going to figure out a way to "ban" Hindraf? Ban blogs like mine who advocate for some of their issues? Ban groups of Indians from gathering together? Detain all Indians wearing orange or saffron? Don't you realize that saffron is the color for Hindus? Just visit Batu Caves during Thaipusam and you will be flooded with saffron shirts, robes, sarees, veshtis. So whatcha gonna do? Run for cover, or come out with your infamous water canons again?

Sometimes I wonder how our gomen officials can withstand their headaches...coz surely their heads must hurt like hell when they could hear the echoes of their own words ringing like the bells of Notre Dame in their empty skull! Allow me to raise the decibles further: Bodoh! Bodoh! BODOH!!

Do these people look like fearsome enemy of the state?
Or simply citizens excersing their democratic rights?
(picture by Harisibrahim.blogspot.com)

How about this? Does this look like a democratic country to you?
Locking up the rakyat in their temple, and
shooting chemical water into the compound?
Make up your mind on WHO is the REAL THREAT.

Malaysians Are Educated Cowards. Where is the action for RPK??

Malaysians are cowards. Especially educated Malaysians. Educated cowards we all are.

We Malaysians like to talk till our throats are parched on how the country is going to the dogs. We Malaysians will stick out our chests and wave our fists, as long as our feet are planted firmly on the ground, or our butts are stuck to chairs. We Malaysians will write in blogs shouting "Daulat Tuanku" and "Long live Raja Petra", but when it comes to walking our fiery talk, we will make excuses. Traffic jam. Children. Work. Wife. Husband. Sick.

Pure BULLSHIT.

Until now, I thought if RPK gets jailed, Malaysians will come out together in droves and thousands, not unlike how Hindraf supporters took to the streets. Yet, the reality is, those who support RPK are educated cowards. The years under a Malaysian education system that repressed and brain washed, and a University system that gets rid of free thinkers and rebels has finally proven its success; in the inaction of the people when patriots and innocents are thrown in detention without trial in a disgusting show of abusive power. When politicians walk all over the rakyat in arrogance, robbing the country in broad daylight. When the police and government officials corrupt and are corrupted. Even when there are obvious links between government officials to gangsters and murderers, the people simply sigh at their "fate" and keep giving lip service.

I am sick and tired of the inaction of the rakyat. The only action taken was during the Hari Raya open house where Hindraf was again put up as the bogeyman against the Malays. Forgotten are those handful of people who wore Free RPK and ISA shirts. They were forgotten because their numbers were insignificant! And how many were there at RPK's trial yesterday? Dozens.

PATHETIC.

Malaysians are cowards. Do not blame the government officials and the enforcement for their abuse of power which is bringing the country down on its knees. They do it because they know very well the phsyci of the rakyat. They know the rakyat are too comfortable in their niche and too lethargic to take any actions, to come together in tens or hundreds of thousands to protest. They know that traffic jams are a bigger priority for Malaysians than one man who stood fearlessly against corruption and murder. They also understand that Malaysians appreciate the bowl of rice they eat today too much to jeorpadize it. Poor foolish Malaysians. We are so eager to protect the supply of rice to put on our table for today, that we ignore that a corrupt goverment will end our lifetime supply sooner than later.

Poor fools.

Malaysia, My Bittersweet Home

I am back in the UK. Spent around 3 weeks in Malaysia. Gained a bit more perspective on the lives of my people. Here are only some observations from my own fresh eyed perspective. Take it or leave it.

Sweet

1. Food, food, food. I have travelled quite a bit, and still Malaysian food is the best in the planet for me (apologies to my Italian and French friends). The best of Malaysia is reflected in the food; a variety of Indian, Chinese and Malay cuisine....

2. Warm people. Regardless of race, or religion. People smile easily, and talk with very little reserve. At least on the surface, it looks like there is no concern for skin color and religion. But for me, surface affection is good enough.

3. Friends, family. None of them replaceable...people who grow up with you are as precious as the gem stones embedded in the Taj Mahal....

4. "Bolehlah baaaang".... there is always  some soft hearted government official who will allow you a loophole to get things done your way.

5. Despite the economic downturn, jobs are still aplenty. The middle class can still manage to put food on the table, so no immediate need to riot. Even when a noble Malaysian such as RPK is detained. Or is this a negative point?....

Bitter

1. People live in constant fear of thieves and child kidnappers. Malaysian women love gold, to the level of worship. Yet when they step out of their house, they go bare necked...Children are no longer allowed to play outside unattended. Teenage girls are cautioned against taking buses and trains alone...the scent of fear is so thick, it practically smothers you.

2. Traffic kills your enthusiasm to step out of your house. Got stuck at 6pm in LDP, one day. Ouch. Big mistake. Wanted to bang my head against the windshield. If I had a gun, I would have shot every half brained driver who overtook rudely and crossed from third lane to the first lane within 3 seconds. Gone are the warm, smiling Malaysians from point (2) above; Malaysians grow horns and snarl when they are behind their wheels. Heck, could you blame them?

3. Money seeps away from your pocket like water. 5 years ago, RM50 had some weight. Now, it is the new 20. And it's not funny.

4. Every professional Chinese and Indian person I spoke to wants to get out of Malaysia. Migrate to Australia. Or New Zealand. I had to self-consciously close my gaping mouth when the clerk in my bank - a stranger - lectured me on the reasons why I should NOT return to Malaysia - for 20 minutes. Brain drain is not a myth but a stone-concrete FACT.

5. The number of foreign workers are astounding. It feels like every year, people from Burma, Indonesia, and Philippines are fast becoming a major part of the fabric of the nation. It's funny isn't it. The UMNOPutras guarded their Malay supremacy against the Chinese and Indians so very overzealously, that the result is, those Chinese and Indians who are able, are leaving the country in droves, only to be replaced with another flow of foreign laborers. It will take another 3 or 4 generations for these laborers to get to middle class status. The country ends up moving backwards. Poetic justice? 

 

Regardless, I still did not want to come back to the UK. 

Tonight, we celebrate OUR Independance Day!!

I am back home.

Instead of a sense of celebration, I felt like I was attending a funeral - the funeral of Malaysia's future.

Upon arrival, I discovered that RPK and Theresa Kok are held under ISA.

As I look around me, at the faces of Malaysians from every culture, race and background, it is difficult to accept that among them are ruthless hearts and souls, who would wholeheartedly agree that Raja Petra Kamarruddin, whose only "fault" as seen by the police is to serve the rakyat, and Ms Theresa Kok, who is an MP chosen by the rakyat, deserve to really trully end up in detention, with no possibilities of defending themselves!

If you support these detentions, including that of M. Manoharan and many other Malaysians caught within the grips of ISA, here is what I think of you; You waste the air that you breath, as your brain is empty of matter, and your heart devoid of a just soul, while your whole being is simply a walking, talking, BN-brainwashed living dead.

RPK is on hunger strike since Friday. His whereabouts unknown. His family cut off from him. His lawyers have no access to him.

RPK's life is ticking away, while Anwar is counting his Malay MPs.

RPK's life force is fading away, while we Malaysians eat nasi lemak and teh tarik in Kopitiam.

If RPK dies, if ISA remains, if the police is unchecked, and if UMNO stays on arrogant, we have no one to blame but OURSELVES.

To my Malay friends; Please push Anwar to move faster, regardless of how many MPs are non-Malays. After all, every one of those MPs are MALAYSIANS. Vote them out in the next election if you find issues with these MPs, and bring back a much humbler BN if you have to do so. But come hell or high water, teach BN a lesson NOW - that you will NOT tolerate an absolute power that has been corrupted absolutely! That is your one TRUE supremacism.

So, for those who do have some matter in their brain, a heart filled with a quest for justice, and your soul intact, please, I beg of you. Show up in Kelana Jaya stadium tonight for a peaceful show of solidarity with the victims of ISA, especially RPK. Burst the seams of the stadium with your presence, to proof that the flame of Makkal Sakthi is still burning high, against the forces of an uncivilized, power crazed regime who would resort to detaining citizens of Malaysia to preserve their perverted sense of power!

Tonight, at the Kelana Jaya stadium, we celebrate at the strike of midnight, OUR Independance Day!

Woman in Detention for 11 months: Police or Baboons?

I would like ask something to those in the National Registration Department and the PDRM.

If a human is given a card printed with 14 digits, which at first and second glances appear random, and told to keep the card just in case one day she may be asked for it, where the probability of being asked for the card is close to zero - especially if she has not much reason to have contacts with bureaucracy - would the human bother to memorize the 14 digits?

Now, let me tell you something. MOST people, CAN'T. This is because the human mind is made to memorize only 7 random numbers give or take a number. This is why most people have to put in some effort to remember their own mobile number, which they use day in and day out!

Yes, I am leading to our extra-long-extra-numbered 14 digits on our identification card, lovingly known to the average Malaysian as I.C.

I have been out of the country for the past 7 years. In that time, I hardly ever had any reason to use my IC. To the extent that I totally cannot remember whether the birth date comes first, or last. If I am required to fill up a form, I will have to hunt for my IC to look for the 14 digits on it. Heck, I don't even know my passport number, which is almost half the length!

Now, I am quite well educated, and deal with complex thinking as part of my job, but still, memorizing 14 digits that I hardly ever use, is beyond my capability. (however, I can easily spout out 16 digits of my credit card, which I use very often for internet shopping). So you see, the moral of the story is, if you don't use it, you LOSE it.

So armed with this little psychoanalysis, can you now understand why a woman who does not speak much Malay, who lives in an unnumbered squatter house cannot for the life of her parrot the 14 digit-often-unused-IC number to the Police when they came down hard on her, accusing her of being an illegal immigrant from Sri Lanka?

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Rajeshvari, who was 6 months PREGNANT when she was netted by the Brickfields police as an illegal immigrant in Oct 2007 , who experienced 2 months in Kajang prison (that would make her almost 9 month pregnant at that time), and up till last Friday, has seen the insides of Lenggeng detention camp, where she had given birth. Although she had told the police where her house was, the police were BULLHEADED in their notion that she was a SRI LANKAN. Yet, according to Malaysiakini, Lenggeng contacted Indian High Commission to ask for her passport details. Oops. Did I just notice a discrepancy of facts by the police???

It seems that there are also children aged between 12-17 years of age who are detained for not "having their identification documents"!!!

Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with the methods and techniques used for detaining and verifying illegals.

Are the thumb print and photo on the IC simply there as decorations? What is the use of calling the IC as a "smart card" when the people who manage, maintain and verify the smart cards are as dumb as an ass?

And why did the police not take the effort to check out if each and every person they detained are genuine, purebred Malaysians? It's not like they have much else to do! Have you ever made a police report when your chain gets stolen or when your house gets broken into, or when your car dibawa lari? If you have done so, you will know that (1) making a police report is for claiming insurance, not for getting the case investigated, (2) the police will give you a cryptic smile as if he is asking you a silent question, specifically "what the hell are you doing here" and (3) the police are busy playing politics instead of playing police and thiefs.

And while the faces of the police and NRD is as pink as a baboon's arse over this incident, Irene Fernandez's case on the defense of her report on the condition of immigrant detention centers, is fast on its way to becoming the longest court case in the history of the planet!

Can you blame people when they call Malaysia a banana republic? We have baboons hanging all over the branches of governmental and enforcement departments. So the next time you visit the NRD, or a police station, especially the Brickfields police station, please bring with you a bunch of Bananas!

It's a Bird! NO! It's a Man! NO! It's BN MPs!!!

Hoi BN!

Tak MALU ke sending so many (57) BN MPs to Taiwan? Why Taiwan? Want to bodek Chinese MPs kah?

Pergi beramai-ramai macam kambing! Pengembala kambing tu pulak Mat "Bocor" Bung. Kononnya the reason is to "study Taiwan's agricultural sector and derive knowledge from the methods used in enhancing local farming and cultivation techniques". Hah! Mungkin diperlukan. Bung nak study cara-cara mengembala kambing-kambing kat BN dengan lebih efficient.

Baaaaaaaaaaa.

Tapi I nak tanya ye...Taiwan tu sejak bila famous dengan agriculture? Kalo you orang kata kat kita you orang pergi belajar cara-cara memperbaiki manufacturing sector, bolehlah percaya. Nak belajar farming pergilah kat New Zealand ka, atau Holland. Lagipun takkan SEMUA constituencies nak usahakan aggriculture? Constituency kat tengah-tengah bandar metropolitan pun nak "derive knowledge from the methods used in enhancing local farming and cultivation techniques?"

Woit Badawi bin Bodoh! Apasal takdak jimat duit terbangkan 7 experts dari Taiwan ke Malaysia bagi lecture kat 57 BN MPs? Apa kau ingat kita orang Malaysia takdak otak macam you jugak ka?

Aaaaaaarrghhhhh!!!

>_<

BODOH! BODOH! BODOH!

Nak bagi excuse pun macam bangang! Mat Nazri tu memang betui - MPs memang takdak otak. Tapi Mat Nazri patut halakan Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh! punya label kat dia punya MPs, khas di bawa ke Parlimen dari kandang kambing BN.

SIAPA YANG BAYAR "fully paid expenses" holiday ni? Bapak lu ka?

Siapa yang nak jaga contituents you bila you orang kat Taiwan? Datuk lu ka?

Laaaaa...macam ini, I pun nak masuk BN, dapat free trip to Taiwan. Bole main-main Black Jack.... tapi kena telan malu sikit lah, buat muka tebal bila diketawakan oleh satu dunia.

Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!!!

Mahathir Mohammad: Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!!!

I am going for broke in this episode of Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!

Ladies and gentlemen. The winner of the Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh! award. Raise both your feet up to give a good kick to .....Mahathir Mohammad....4th Prime Minister of Malay-sia. Son of an Indian immigrant, father to the more level-headed Marina, husband to Siti Hasmah, doctor, politician and RACIST extraordinaire....

He is well known on his remarks on the the Indian community. Very well known. On March 6 2008, he claimed that Samy Vellu was the reason why Indians could not progress in Malaysia. But he conveniently forgot that Indians are Malaysians. And as the Prime Minister of Malaysia, it is his sworn duty to look after the interests of ALL Malaysians. From his interview, it was clear that he was aware of the hanky panky carried out by Samy Vellu and his gang of thieves. But he did nothing, because in his own words, "either you get the support the Malays, or you get the support of the Indians". And we all know whose support he cared for. Instead of thinking like a visionary politician to find a solution to the racial divide, Mahathir Mohammad played the racial card without any conscience.

And now, he does it again. Bastardo.

Mahathir lamented why did Najib aka UMNO had to apologize for one of their members, another Bodoh x 3 award winner, Ahmad "I-no-apologize" Ismail. That other Bodoh feller accused Chinese as being temporary squatters in Malaysia, and they should "balik China". Now, you must know - if you are rational, and equipped with a conscience - that this Ahmad "balik China" Ismail is a filthy ultra-racist aka Malay Supremacist to have said this in the first place. So if someone defends his verbal diarrhea, that someone also thinks like this filthy ultra-xenophobist.

He claims Hindraf was racist. My take is, if Hindraf is racist because it fights for a single religion, where the members happen to be Indians, what is PAS? What is UMNO? What is MIC? What is MCA? What is ABIM? What about GPMS? What about KIMMA? The list goes on and on and on....

A racist HATES a certain group of people. A racist SUBJUGATES a certain group of people based on their skin color/race. Institutionalized racism denies certain group of people the rights given to other groups. So YOU tell me. Among the list above, WHO has shown again and again their supremacy over a certain group of people?? Who is advocating institutionalized racism? And who is struggling against discrimination?

Mahathir questions why Ministers of Indian origin did not "apologize" on behalf of Hindraf, as Najib has done for Ahmad "Bodoh x3" Ismail. This old man has really gone senile. Hindraf was never a member of MIC. So technically, why the fck should Indian ministers apologize for someone else who is not under their jurisdiction? This old man has not only gone senile, but I think he is at the brink of psychosis. In his overzealous defense of Ahmad "the ultra-racist" Ismail, he forgot that Hindraf 5 are in ISA detention centre in Kamunting. Oooooops. So if he is asking for "equal" treatment for Ahmad "the soon to be history" Ismail, should he be also locked up behind bars under ISA, just as was done to Hindraf 5??

Mahathir also harps on Weng Meng Chee who "supposedly" ridiculed the national anthem. Again, he questions why Chinese leaders did not apologize on Meng Chee's actions. Did I miss the part where Wong Meng Chee registered for MCA membership??????? Definitely, Mahathir missed the part where Meng Chee DID apologize, but his apology was rejected by the Cabinet.

I can go on and on writing about this half arsed, half brained, FIRST generation Bodoh x Infinity senile, psychotic fool of a man who embarrasses the nation each time he opens his filthy mouth. But I would like to live a few more years, instead of dying of high blood pressure. So I end it here. If only Mahathir Mohammad, the Father of Racism also ends his tirade, and goes into a coma or something. Damn.

Hindu Temples vs Home Ministry

Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi temple in Malacca. Supposedly the oldest Hindu temple in Malaysia (1780s). Although, Hinduism has been prominently practiced in Tanah Melayu from 100BC to 1400AD before the Islamic empire of Malacca. Soon, these temples will be left without priests if the Home Ministry does not remove their block on foreign priests.

First they bulldozed some Hindu Temples, even pre-Merdeka temples, on the grounds that they are illegal (I still do not understand how structures built before Malaysia was formed is considered "illegal". I am referring to temples with domes, not makeshift roadside shacks here). Of course, these bulldozed temples were inconveniently located in prime estate lands that have transformed into prime real estate lands, and the developers did not want to inconvenience themselves by building around these temples.

And now they are restricting temples from hiring priests and artisans.

The Home Ministry is deviously smart. They know very well that temples in Malaysia are built by artisans and run by priests from India. So if they restrict artisans and priests from India, no more new temples. Some existing temples will potentially be closed down. No need to hire bulldozers and pay salary for Rela and FRU. Hindraf will have no reason to picket and stand in front of bulldozers. No more bad press. Problem solved.

According to Malaysiakini, the Human Resource Ministry has given the A-Okay for providing work permit for 3 years to new priests and artisans. But the Home Ministry is blocking the issuing of new visas and work permits, while not giving extensions beyond 3 months for existing priests and artisans.

I wonder what is the agenda of the Home Ministry? Are there some overzealous religious fanatic in the government who is taking it upon themselves to ensure the disappearance of Hinduism from the face of Malaysia? If this is not the case, then what is the reason. Do tell, Botak Albar. Me want to really know.

Or perhaps Botak Albar wants to force local Malaysian Indians to become priests. Noble gesture. But learning to be a priest takes years...since childhood. Could the noble and honorable Home Ministry give visas for the next 21 years for foreign priests to teach children in this country who are interested to enter priesthood (as full and part time priests) ? What was that?? NOT even in our DREAMS? Then please, do tell what you are really trying to achieve by eliminating foreign priests in this country, and leaving Hindu temples in a lurch?

Heck, even in the UK, only 8% of the Imams in mosques are British. So it is pretty common for minority religions to hire their preachers, priests and Imams from countries where the religion is a majority.

Btw. Before anyone accuse me of being a Hindu fanatic, please take note that I am not a practicing Hindu. Although I read and apply some principles of the Bhagavad Geeta in my life, and read excerpts of the Quran and the Bible, I tend to lean towards Richard Dawkins mode of understanding the universe. So I am writing this as a fellow human being who is curious, not to mention furious on the clearly discriminative (and not well thought) policies of the government against Hindu temples.

Hurricane Gustav and Racist Malaysia

I was watching BBC yesterday evening on Hurricane Gustave trashing the state of Louisiana, when an (Asian)Indian-looking fellow took hold of the press conference, and started to eloquently outline the measures being taken by the government to support and safeguard the people of New Orleans.

I kept biting distractedly into my chocolate, listening to this man, when it suddenly struck me. What is an Indian looking feller doing hogging a press conference which seems to be for the Governor of the state of Louisiana. Only then, I looked down closely at the running commentary at the bottom of the channel. To my utter amazement, what do I find? The Governor of the state of Louisiana is INDIAN ORIGIN.

I almost rolled down laughing. Not because the Governor of Louisiana is Indian origin, but because I suddenly remembered all the bullshit jargon dumped at me by some of the commentators in my blog, our infamous UMNOPuteras, and the recent verbal diarrhea by Ahmad "the Bodoh x 3" Ismail; on how 3rd and 4th Generation Indians and Chinese in Malaysia are temporary squatters of this country, and that we should all pack up and "balik India, balik China". And across the world, in the most powerful country in the planet, a FIRST generation Indian-American is a Governor of a state well known for southern-white hospitality.

Yes, we have Lim Guan Eng as the Chief Minister of Penang. But then, Penang is a Chinese majority state. Could Lim Guan Eng be elected as the Menteri Besar of Selangor, or Perak? Not until pigs fly kites!

Sure, we have Mahathir Mohammad, whose father is an Indian immigrant. But then, Mahathir had to change his race to Malay (this kind of shit is only possible in Malaysia), and wipe out all references to his heritage (not to mention seen to discriminate the Indian community), for him to be considered a pure blooded UMNO President, and Malaysian Prime Minister.

Friends, Malaysians, countrymen. I present to you, Piyush "Bobby" Jindal, a 37 year old Republican Governor of the state of Louisiana. A first generation Indian American, son of Punjabi Indian immigrants, Amar and Raj Jindal, member of the Indian community in the USA, an estimated 3% of the population (in 2000), married to Supriya Jolly Jindal (not a white, but Indian origin). A Governor of a state with around 65% whites, 33% African Americas, and 1.5% Asians.

Here is an Indian American minority Governor Jindal. Will there be such a Jindal in Malaysia, in the next century??

Governor of Louisiana

Ministers, THIS is How YOU Change YOUR Lifestyle!

I demand that the Malaysian Cabinet lead by example for Malaysians to change their lifestyle.

Minister of Tourism - Azalina should only take her holidays LOCALLY. And that too, by using Air Asia. No more shopping spree in Nepal.

Minister of Health - Tiong Lai should only use GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS for him, and his family.

Minister of Rural and and Regional Development and Minister of Agriculture- Muhammad x2 Taib, Mustapa Mohamad, and their families should be staying in a KAMPUNG or ESTATE, and their houses should be made of papan with maximum 2 bedrooms. No recourse to city lifestyle.

Minister of Human Resources - Subramaniam should be paid only RM 900, the MINIMUM WAGE demanded by MTUC, and put to work in a factory or estate once in two weeks to earn some overtime. Ulaypali, saar...

Minister of Transport - Ong Tee Kiat should only take PUBLIC TRANSPORT. No more chauffeur driven Perdana.

Minister of Higher Education and Minister of Education - Hishammudin and Khaled Nordin's children and grandchildren are only allowed to continue their education in RURAL GOVERNMENT schools, LOCAL UNIVERSITIES and POLYTECHNICS. Their wives should volunteer in public schools as substitute teachers or work in canteens.

Minister of Works - Every time Zin Muhamad and his each of his family member travel on our Malaysian roads, they should queue up and pay tolls. With notes and shillings. And they should ONLY drive Kancils, so that they acquire the fear of accidents.

Minister of Housing - Ong Ka Chuan and his family should be shifted into a newly built 20 x 70 double story terrace house built by Talam/Maxisegar Sdn Bhd. No recourse to club houses for a swim or gym, but dependent on public facility.

Minister of Energy, Water and Communication - Shaziman and his family should be installed in an estate or kampung that does not have electricity, has brown water to drink (with no recourse to water filters), and no telephone line. His secretaries should drive up and down in Kancils, carrying messages for him, so at least they can urge their boss to improve his kampung/estate's energy, water and communication.

Minister of International Trade and Industry and Minister of Foreign Affairs - Muhiyiddin Yasin and Rais Yatim should only take budget economy class flights. No recourse to first or business class, much less a private jet. And their seats should be in the middle row (D-H).

Minister of Women, Family and Community Development - Ng Yen Yen is required to volunteer every week for the following organizations: shelter for women, orphanages and old folks homes. She should have covered all existing organizations by the end of her term. I could demand that any baby born in her family should be fed tea water instead of milk, but that would be too cruel.

Minister of Defense - Najib and his family should be moved into Kampung Rimba Jaya, in one of the ex-estate "squatter" houses, to save cost on his personal expenditures, and for him to experience the grouses of the Indians and the poor first hand. His children are required to enroll in the armed forces. Mandatory Nuri helicopter flying exercises. Meanwhile, Rosmah is not allowed access to beauty parlors.

Minister of Finance - Abdullah Badawi and Mohamed Yakcop should be paid only RM3500 each for them to live by. Not a single cent more, unless their wives sell ais kacang for some extra cash. Everything they own should be audited to ensure their wealth is within their salary limit.

Prime Minister of Malaysia - Additionally, Abdullah Badawi should shift to Kampung Medan, live in a papan house, enrol his children (and grandchildren, especially KJ's) in rural schools and local universities, use only government hospitals and public transport, his holidays in Port Dickson or Lumut, and make sure his wife, Madam Jeanne Danker volunteers every week at the nearest charity organization; which means she will do the actual work, and not simply attend dinners. Ibu.......

If these measures are too tough to carry out, please do one of the following:

1. Resign
2. Shut the FUCK up about Malaysians needing to change our lifestyles!

MT Censored by MCMC. Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh!

This article is part of the Bodoh! Bodoh! Bodoh! series. Previous postings are here, here and here.

Condolences to Malaysia-Today.Net. Happy Birthday to Mt.HarapanMalaysia.com

The candidate for this episode, the one who is the finalist for the Bodoh x 3! award for the CENTURY is finally found; Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission, lovingly abbreviated by their paymasters, or rather, their pimps in Putrajaya as MCMC. The online content watchdog. Or is it lapdog? I am confused....

I take the liberty to rename the *fill-your-choice*dog more appropriately - Malaysian Commission for Multimedia CENSORSHIP.

Usually, they only censor porn sites. Now, they are into censoring Malaysia-Today.net and the blogosphere. I personally think that after years of scrolling through hundred of porn sites, their brain got scrambled to dust by Hugh Hefner's Playmates, and the millions of orgies online. Now, they are not able to think (or walk) straight, much less distinguish between smut and smart websites.

It's typical isn't it? For a select tribe to withdraw into itself and find comfort among those who think alike, when faced with new paradigms of thoughts, new challenges, and new generation of ideals? And what normally happens to tribes that transform into homogeneous hermits? They disappear .........

If BN wants to disappear into oblivion, that is VERY fine with me. But by implementing policies that censors progressive and dynamic thoughts, they will end up taking the whole country with them into the blackhole of lost civilizations! And that, I am NOT FINE with!

So go to hell MCMC. And while you are trying your best to stop the dam of free thoughts from bursting with your middle finger, the whole damn structure BN has constructed to coop us in a cage built by their own version of truth, over the last five decades, is cracking and crumbling...

For those who are struggling to continue Malaysia's survival, here are some loop holes for your thoughts to flow out:

Well done Permatang Pauh!

Holding my breath for Permatang Pauh. Is there still hope for change in Malaysia, or will the hantus hired by Darth Vader do their job too well...?

Flying The Flag: Insult or Patriotism?

Malaysia is full of hypocrites.

As with religion, even our very patriotism is steeped in rituals and symbolisms. Instead of genuine care for the country.

We let corrupted officials run this country to the dogs. Be it the judiciary, the executive, the MPs in Parliament, even the enforcement including civil servants, city council, police and military. We allow racist teachers to call their students black monkeys and sons of bitches because they happen to be Indians. We allow enforcement officers to torture inmates in prison and detention camps! We have a University which only opens its door to ONE SINGLE MAJORITY RACE. Fuck. We even have Ministers and MPs who call for the blood of another race to flow!

But fly the nation's flag upside down, the same people who stretch out their hands to receive bribes and shout for the blood of others, and the people who stretch out their hands to give bribe and pretend to love all their countrymen, get all huffed and puffed and bothered.

Flying the flag upside down is an insult, it seems. Hah! And everything else happening in this country gives you pride?

According to the Prime Minister, who is currently embroiled in various corruption charges, those who fly the flag upside down should face action by the police (Malaysiakini).

According to some over emotional Malaysians, who consider democracy as the epitome of good governance, ISA should be used to jail those who fly the flag upside down (see below).

Hypocrites.

To those who feel insulted, I have THIS to say; Put the country back in order FIRST. Stop corruption, stop racism, stop cronyism, stop high profile crime suspects from getting away scot free, and make the judiciary trustworthy again, and THEN demand to us to fly the flag properly! This is OUR way of signaling that the problems in this country are serious, and requires equally serious attention. Pronto! If you have problems with us flying the flag upside down, then DO SOMETHING to make us fly the flag back upright. Instead of closing one eye to the issues that we try to highlight, and only focusing the other eye on a piece of symbol!

Damn. If the flag has a soul, she would hang her own head in shame at what she has ended up representing!!

p/s: Below is a forwarded email by Sactyr to me on the call for ISA against bloggers who fly the flag upside down:

Salam bahagia,

Saya Mohammad Ridzuan dari Perak berasa sungguh tidak berpuas hati terhadap segelintir "Blogger" yang menerbangkan Jalur Gemilang, Jalur Kebangsaan, Jalur kebangaan Negara secara terbalik. Mereka secara terbuka menghina dan memalukan negara di mata Dunia. Menerbangkan bendera secara terbalik ini adalah rasa tidak berpuas hati terhadap negara, gara gara konon mereka (Sorry. You are wrong. Flying the flag upside down is to pull attention to the serious issues facing the nation. It certainly got your attention, but your brain refuses to process the message!).

Antara mereka yang teriak teriak menyambut so called protest adalah Zorro Un Masked, Kickdefella, Malaysian Indian Channel, The People"s Parliamentary and segolongan kecil lagi. Menghina bendera Kebangsaan adalah satu kesalahan yang amat besar (Eh...boleh tunjukkan di mana tercatat tindakan ini "satu kesalahan besar"?). Mereka inilah yang berpunca dan adalah contoh contoh yang amat baik sekali kepada golongan yang muda untuk tidak mempunyai perasaan patriotism (really? I thought being concerned about the state of the country is the very principle of patriotism?) terhadap negara. tindakan tegas harus diambil terhadap mereka ini. Tidak salah jika dijauhkan hukuman ISA terhadap mereka ini. Mereka ini layak ditahan di bawah akta hasutan. (So when will our sportsmen and women be ISA-ed for draping the flag over their sweaty bodies?) Sangat sangat diharapkan tindakan undang undang diambil terhadap "pengkianat" serupa ini. (Pengkhianat = Traitor. Hmm. If I am a traitor, what do you call corrupt officials? Loyal?) Tidak tahu langsung merhargai dan membagakan negara.

Jika dilihat dua daripada Bloggers tersebut juga menulis article yang seditious! mencuba mengungkitan perpecahan kaum di Bumi Malaysia ini (This must be the funniest statement in this article. Listen here, fool. The very moment students are segregated based on their race in Universities, and equities in KLSE listed companies are set aside for one race, the "perpecahan kaum" is concrete.). Antaranya tak bukan lagi, Zorro-unmasked dan Malaysian Indian Channel. Soalan saya, mengapakah tiada tindakan undang undang diambil terhadap mereka? Dimanakah keadilan kita? (Exactly. Di manakah keadilan di Malaysia??) Dimanakah undang undang kita? (Mana ada udang-undang kat Malaysia lagi?? Hakim pun sudah tak boleh diharap! Tanya si-Linggam!) Malaysia untuk orang malaysia! tetapi bloggers inilah yang berpunca terhadap segala galanya. Perpecahan kaum di Malaysia dan banyak lagi (Correct! Correct! Correct!). Penghinaan yang dibuat mereka sama sekali tidak harus dilakukan oleh yang lain oleh itu, tindakan harus diambil terhadap mereka sebagai satu pengajaran.

Hari Kebangsaan adalah hari yang membangakan kita seluruh rakyat Malaysia (You bangga? So kalo you bangga, semua orang pun kena rasa bangga jugak ke? Boleh senaraikan apa yang perlu dibanggakan?) , bukan kita meraikan hari yang mulia ini dengan menerbangkan bendera secara terbalik. Diharapkan sungguh, janganla rakyat malaysia lain terikut ikut cara cara mereka yang tidak bermoral dan berotak (Moral dan IQ pemimpin pun banyak kurangnya. So janganlah mempersoal moral dan otak rakyat di bawah pemimpin-pemimpin tersebut! Faham-faham ajelah...) seperti blogger itu! Jikalau Malaysia ini masih hidup, "Justice in malaysia still alive" (Sorry to wake you up. Justice is dead.) tindakan undang undang harus diambil. Mereka harus sedar kesilapan mereka. (Harus. Harus. Harus! Demokrasi atau Autokrasi?)

Sekian Terima Kasih.

Rakyat Malaysia (yang Demokrasi?)

Oh Please Mr Najib, Can I Have Scrap Metal Collector License?

There are so many events happening in Malaysia, that I was at lost on which news I should comment on. Its like when you know your house is in a mess, but you simply do not know where you should start your cleaning.

Until this news caught my eye.

Najib said BN would champion the Indian and Chinese communities' cause in the constituency as they had been neglected by the opposition.

He said to look after the well-being of the Indian community, a special cabinet committee was formed, while their educational opportunities were enhanced through the setting up of the Asian Institute Of Medicine, Science and Technology.

Vocational and skills training courses were also conducted for those living in the estates, while Tamil primary schools with less than 50 students each would be merged to enable the government provide better facilities for the students.

Najib said the government had also agreed to approve scrap metal collector's licence for Indians in Permatang Pauh.

I don't know about you, but I really did not know that in Malaysia, if you are Indian, you do not get scrap metal collector's license! F.U.C.K.

In the UK, any Tom, Dick, Harry, Muhammad, Ah Chong and Muthu can apply for a Waste Collector's License for £149.00 which is valid for 3 years. It does not matter if Muthu just came into the UK yesterday!

I am speechless. Utterly speechless. You may say, "Hey, who gives a crap about scrap metal collector licenses. Give us APs instead!". But my God, spend a few seconds to think about this; scrap metal collector's job is quite, QUITE low in our society's job hierarchy. Only the poor work as scrap collectors. Denying licenses to the poor to collect scrap is equivalent to having your greedy gruby hands on the pathetic little rice they get to eat and feed their family on!

And Najib can speak with a straight face about "granting" scrap metal collector's license to the Indians (that too, only to Indians in Permatang Pauh), as if he is a haughty Lord "granting" benefits to his lowly serfs, when he feels he is in the mood!  

If nothing else, this latest act of blatant racism proves that the government has been VERY selective in enabling the economics of the minorities in Malaysia. And it slaps concrete onto the various claims of racism and discrimination by the government against the Indian community!

So Mr Najib, if BN loses in Permatang Pauh, what then? Can the lowly Indian serfs beg of you to grant them scrap metal collector's license? Or will they continue being rejected because their skin color is dark, their religion is Hinduism, and their race is Indian?

Protest of Bar Council Forum: Shamala and Subashini Betrayed By Malaysia

Fanatics at work; Fools who reacted emotionally, instead of rationally,
disregarding the fact that the forum was focused on legal issues, without touching on the merits of Islam.
Picture from The Star.

I would like to convey my utmost sympathy to two Malaysians who were betrayed by their countrymen today; Shamala and Subashini, both victims who were affected by their husbands' sudden conversion into Islam, which left them the losers in the eye of this country's "justice" system.

They were betrayed when the forum by Bar Council titled Conversion into Islam: Article 121(1A) of the Federal Constitution: Subashini and Shamala Revisited, faced heavy protests, insults, chaos, and was ordered to end early.

And I have nothing but CONTEMPT for the protesters, including PAS; Today, PAS lost my support entirely. And my hope for a fairer Malaysia lies shattered on the ground, trampled upon by religious fanatics and so-called "moderates" at the protest. The sad fact is, the very moment they heard the keywords "Islam" and "Conversion", their blood got drained from their brains. Even rational bloggers started blogging about how non-Muslims have no rights to discuss issues of conversions into Islam, while disregarding the fact that this was a forum, established by LAWYERS to discuss LAWS and AFFECTS of conversions, NOT about demeaning each other's religions!!

The forum was logical. In a country where 30% - 40% of its people are non-Muslims, our lives are bound to get entangled with each other. Muslims will inevitably fall in love with non-Muslims, and vice versa. Non-Muslims are bound to be attracted to converting into Islam, and VICE VERSA. And in a country with TWO family and inheritance justice systems, which are currently disjoint, where one is for Muslims, and another for non-Muslims, it is only LOGICAL to build bridges to ensure smooth transitions to and fro BOTH sides of the partition. Instead, the bridge is ONE way - for conversions INTO Islam, that leaves the convert's families in a LEGAL LIMBO. As proven in the cases of Shamala and Subashini, the non-Muslims spouses are automatically divorced, their children converted, without their knowledge or approval, and they end up losing custody. Only the most hard headed and stone hearted fanatic will stand by and watch this happen to these parents. INSTEAD of demanding that the converted spouse first fulfills his marriage CONTRACT with his wife, the civil court judges stand back from making the required judgments, and pass the buck to the syariah court. Naturally, the syariah court sides with the Muslim convert, while the non-Muslim is confused why she or he should be subjected to a justice system that they do not believe in, and one which they have not subscribed to!

If Malaysians do not even have the COMPASSION to allow forums that discusses the current ambiguities in the two justice system that affects family and inheritance issues, what RIGHT do we have to talk about JUSTICE anymore?

Justice is not just about making sure that judges are free from corruption. Justice is also about doing the right thing, no matter what your religious or personal believes are! If judges and the law system can be influenced by one's race and religion, then the next time a non-Muslim judge sits at the bench, what stops the judge from imposing Muslims with heavier convictions than his non-Muslim "brothers"?

Looking at how fierce the protest was during the Bar Council forum, simply because the issues discussed touched on Islam, EVEN THOUGH it was a forum which consisted of LAWYERS discussing relevant, LEGAL issues, justice is not only DEAD in Malaysia, it has truly been cremated, and its ashes dumped into the four winds!

I wish some of these Muslims would read up on the essential principles of Islam, and the way Muslims governed during the early days of Islam. If you are in the UK, you should watch Channel 4's The Qu'ran by Anthony Thomas - a wonderful documentary that would have shamed these fanatics into penitence.

Good luck, Malaysia.

Government Wants to Monitor Blogger's Arses Now?

Foreign Minister Dr (Hah!) Rais Yatim is a true carrier of the BODOH gene. 

Wasn't he the one who dreamed up a simply brilliant idea that proposed women to obtain written permission if we want to travel overseas alone? An idea that irrevocably reflected the single digit of his IQ.

Now he has yet another brilliant one; proposal for "internal council" to monitor bloggers.

Yes, you heard it right. Bloggers are so detrimental to the government's health right now that he urges the establishment of an "internal council" to monitor our lovely arses. So that the gomen can haul our wonderful arses into jail, like how they had done to Penarik Beca yesterday. Hey you..yes you, Rais Yatim! What's up with you people in the gomen and arses anyway?? Butt out and just do your jobs!! Nobody will complain if you simply just do your job properly instead of making half-baked statements and half-brained decisions!

I simply love his statements below. But first -

Deap breaths. Rub palms together. Evil grin. 

Start.

He told reporters this when asked to comment on a blog posting calling on the people to display their unhappiness with what is going on in the government by flying the national flag upside down.

He said that rather than resorting to such an act, it would be better for them to express their dissatisfaction through the proper channels like writing articles and to speak out on whom they disliked, what was wrong and what was inappropriate.

Proper channels? You mean, The Star or NST or Utusan? Sorry, Mr-No-Brainer, I did try the "proper channels". My letters were not published. Am I surprised? Noooo. These "proper channels" tend to take the cowardly way out by overlooking letters that "speaks out on whom they disliked, what was wrong and what was inappropriate"!

Meanwhile, the last I heard, Hindraf sent hundreds of pages of documents outlining their dissatisfactions on the mistreatment of Indians, while Bersih has done similarly to defend fair and just elections. Not to mention other NGOs on various issues. But most of those memorandums are collecting dust somewhere. Or perhaps someone had recycled the papers, and made some extra bucks? Or maybe you guys ran out of toilet paper?

What's the deal with the "proper channel" requirement anyway? Aren't we allowed our own opinions and the freedom to speak our mind? Why are you telling us that we are only suppose to speak our mind through the approved procedure? The right to speak our mind against the actions and policies of our leaders is enshrined in the principles of democracy. Go back and finish school laaaa...

Or do you need the "proper channel" to collect our name, address, and IC number so that we can disappear into the annals of ISA, one by one?

"Rather than bashing the flag, it's better for them to take it out on the person concerned or the leaders that they don't like," he added.

Can I puhleeease puhleeease start by bashing YOU? Step aside people. LET me through!!

Btw, who on earth is bashing the flag? 

Did you not read those blogs which advocated the flags to be flown upside down? If you never read the blogs, and the reason the flag is being flown upside down, why the heck you commenting on this issue then?

Let me spell it out to you s...l...o...w...l...y. 

The. flag. is. upside. down. because. it. symbolizes. the. country. is. in. DISTRESS.

A call for awareness and HELP.

With a brain like this sitting on our Foreign Minister post, NO WONDER we lost Pulau Batu Puteh! The Singaporeans are probably still rolling down, LAUGHING!

Woman Locked Up With 7 UNKNOWN MEN! An INSULT!!

Do the Police in Malaysia have ANY ACCOUNTABILITY AT ALL?

UPDATE 8 August 2008

The Star reported the arrests, but NOT the fact that the woman was locked up with men. Bloody Coward "Journalists"! Go hang yourself upside down till your blood gets back into your brains!

**********************

This news brought my blood to boiling levels. 

What the fcuk is the police doing by locking up a woman in a cell with 7 UNKNOWN MEN!!!

Malaysiakini

Surendran also complained that Susila, 41, was being held in a police lockup with seven other unknown men.

"This is unacceptable. Was she treated this way because she is affiliated with Hindraf?" he asked.

At the Dang Wangi police station, Surendran, accompanied by Kapar MP S Manickavasagam and Teluk Intan MP M Manogaran, held a short discussion with Zulkarnain.

Manogaran told reporters later that Zulkarnain had confirmed that Susila was held in a cell with men but a woman police officer was stationed outside the cell.

Manogaran also said they were assured of Susila's safety by Zulkarnain. The police chief however refused to comment on Susila's detention when approached by reporters.

The police assuring Susila's safety?? Heck, they couldn't even assure Anwar Ibrahim's safety, nor the safety of Tharma Rajen, Francis Udayappan, Goh Yan Peow, Uthaya Chandran etc etc who all died while "under police protection". And how about women who were raped under police custody? That Filipino underaged girl for example? Heck, these crimes were either conducted by policemen themselves, or alleged to have been conducted by the police. Can you then imagine the risks for a woman in a cell with CONVICTS? Who know what THEY are in lock up for? Is she also supposed to use the piece of junk they call the comode in the cell, in front of these men? Or is she suppose to witness one of the men taking a leak? Heck, forget about the commode. If so called learned MPs in Parliament can give sexual innuendoes and insult women in general, with no sense of respect to the female gender, what sort of treatment do you think this woman is going to face in a cell with 7 unknown, god-knows-why-they-are-there men!

What crime has she committed to deserve this? She is simply a Malaysian who voiced her opinion for heaven's sake! While murderers and rapists are running around free in this country, people who genuinely care for each other get arrested and locked up, their dignity stripped bare.

Or is the police simply insulting Indian women in general through such on-your-face SICKENING  action?

Goddamnitt!! Blogger Arrested for Sedition!!

Mahaguru58 and Susan Loone reported that Blogger Bakar (Bakaq), who is Penarik Beca has been taken by 4 police men to Bukit Aman last night under the Sedition Act. What the....

This guy Bakaq is a Pro PAS, whose blog is a sort of main point of reference for many blog readers because he consolidates blogs in English, BM, blogs by MPs, and top hitting blogs. In fact, my own blog comes under the English section. So what is the big deal about making comments once in a while, and consolidating blog links??

Damn. In any other democratic country, you can question the government, make fun of the leader's actions and decisions, and even make fun of the Kings and Queens. Only in bloody BN-controlled Malaysia, the men and women who call themselves "leaders" get super-touchy about their fcuked up image. If they conduct themselves honorably, they wouldn't get spit upon, now would they?

Arresting Bloggers - Satu Lagi Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional.

Goddamnitt!!
