1. Drive safe. An F'1/toky'o dr'ift wannabe driver on mala'ysian road will get nothing but dented car, holed pocket and friggin' tickets.Expect a lot of nagging frm family members and anxious looks on whoever's-car-u-are-driving's face.
2. The next time someone wanna switch lane from his/hers original lane to your lane, never give way or slow down. Just hit the car/let the car hit u cuz, as long as it's your lane, shud be no problem dude.
3. Love means letting go.
4. J'apan is homogenously wonderful.
5. I am truly a mala'ysian - few times, when i was in to'kyo, like most mala'ysians; i dashed in immediately rite after the train door opened and didnt care to follow the queu. Nyeheheh :p
6. An in-a-relationship kinda man will never leave their woman for u even if they say they will.And most of this type of male is a chauvinist pig.
7. Not knowing anything about ur bestgirlfriend and only to find out what's happening in her life thru her blog is sad.
8. Love is blind - the most boleh-tahan hott girl in my office is now in a relationship with someone who looks like Acapp'an
9. Credit cards are evil.Super fcuking evil.
10. You have a year to submit to your sponsor an application for 2nd degree/masters sponsorship.If u finally made a decision to continue your studies on full-time basis on the exact 365th day,smack urself at the behind twice.
11. Love often makes a person forgets that he/she has friends.Make time for ur friends like u make time for ur loved ones.
12. Never update ur resume/jobs'treet page in the office.Do it at home.
13. Love is such a strong word,that's why i couldnt say it to you.I can just say it,but never mean it.
14. My listening skill sucks.Gotta work on it.And i discovered that i cant read anymore these days,i only skip-read.Gotta do something for that too.
15. My electric/electronic knowledge is pretty rusty.Gotta look for my Boyl'estead's book in one of them storage boxes.Teehee.

happy new year babe!
Sometimes when one reads about the statements or replies by the Malaysia government ministers, one feels ashamed of them, knowing that foreign correspondents would also be observing them.
ReplyDeleteOne just wonder how come majority of the government ministers or their subordinates just could not show themselves with depth in their words and thoughts!
Their mentality is just so shallow as always reflected in their talks.
Is it because they do lack reading and gaining knowledge and information? But then they are the ones who keeping telling the public to read and read? They don't? Too busy politicking on trivial? What a pity?
Or that they are too busy over personal interest? Or are they just of mediocre intelligence up there, but good in drawing support by being able to be able to talk mediocrity?
Can the nation draws on them to prod on to the national vision?
It is anybody's guess. Your guess is just as good as my guess. Just hope and guess the good things will come one fine day.
Something is seriously and definitely lacking in the government ministers, selection? Is there a dearth of quality leaders in Malaysia politics to be selected?
Something drastic must be done to rectify the current situation in the country.
Many so called leaders in Malaysia are still shackled in their perceived medieval mentality based false premises.
Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, can teach Malaysia a thing or two about religious tolerance.
ReplyDeleteI stayed at a 5-star hotel in Jakarta recently. On the main buffet breakfast table they serve beef bacon and chicken sausages. But on a side table, they have pork bacon and chicken sausages.
A hotel of the same chain in Kuala Lumpur does not give you a choice. What more is there to say?
First off, I am a new migrant to Australia.
ReplyDeleteMy whole family emigrated here a few years back to ensure a better chance for my siblings and me to get good tertiary education. I am now at university doing a professional course, the entrance examination was done in a fair and meritocracy manner, without any hidden agenda.
How can one do great things when one's own country won't let one do medical studies even though one has scored straight As in the STPM? Heck, one doesn't even need to talk about getting into a medical course. I know of one senior who scored all As and applied for pharmacy, but still failed to get that.
How do you expect these bright students to feel when they are instead asked to do courses like 'agriculture' or 'wood technology'? Sorry, but such reasoning, no matter what its basis, just doesn't hold any water for me.
The bitter truth is that the majority of this nation don't see the need to change things yet and until then, we can do little about it.
I've know what I can do for my country in the future, but the more I think about it, the more I begin to wonder: What has the nation really ever done for me? Does it really deserve my help now?
All the letters on emigration, government and politics point to one fact; we have not found our identity, purpose and vision.
The worth of any nation is in its people. I believe the greatest challenge now is for Malaysians to find themselves, to face the realities of the day, to find the moral courage to do the right thing.
The world is rapidly changing and if we don't find our place in it others will do it for us. It is a tremendous task for the country's leaders to accomplish, given the current globalisation trend and the highly competitive world environment.
Islam in Malaysia is suppressing humanity, dignity and desire of a normal human being.
ReplyDeleteIslam in Malaysia is causing trouble to non-Muslims who goes about their everyday life to do what any other normal human being on earth are doing.
Islam in Malaysia does not respect traffic law when Muslims can park their cars all over the road and causes inconvenience to everybody.
Islam in Malaysia does not contribute to the progress of the malay race and any other race in Malaysia.
Islam felts threaten in Malaysia, when nobody actually gives a damn about them.
No surprising with such emotion running high: More to emigrate. This is brain drain. Bolehland has no vision for its all people except for the Umno malays.
ReplyDeleteWho not afraid of the keris waving politician? Even my malay classmate emigrated to New Zealand recently, sick of the polemics and the politicising of religion here, good thing got money shall travel, no money no talk.
Should have left 10 years ago when I saw that we have no equal opportunities. But I hesitated and said there will be a change when Badawi takes over. Well! Guess that was not the case. It got worse and the future of Malaysia is bleak!
Pack my back and left the place to look for better opportunities and fight on merits. I am better off in Australia than the "Dark Hole" of Malaysia. At least you get respected for your recognition and skill. In Malaysia, how good you are is always a second class citizen. No promotion for us but their own kind.
NEP to malays is like drug to drug addicts. Once they started to taste it, they will never let go till they die. Tough they all know very well NEP is just like drug, not good for them in the long run, but they can't resist the short term temptation and fall deeper and deeper into the abyss of NEP.
Since now, the NEP had become Never Ending Policy, the little hope of getting out of the NEP drug will dismiss and leading to the destruction of the malays. By then maybe all the able non-malays had already emigrated to greener pasture in overseas. I forecast 2020 year is the doom day. Thanks to selfish Umno malays.
We are at our own liberty not to live in this controversial country. The government does not discourage us to leave this country. For Chinese and Indians, Malaysia perhaps is not a good place to stay because your mother countries to with China and India are now thriving. Just leave malays to manage their own country. Let Malaysia ruin with the malays.
The Chinese culture is compatible to other cultures in the world. The Chinese will have no problem adapt to other cultures in the world. There are many China Towns in overseas countries. So the Malaysian Chinese will feel at home wherever they go.
Real sick and tired of all these Umno babiputras, the sob in Malaysia Umno babiputras!
Yes, the only realistic proposition is encourage all Chinese to emigrate to Singapore and leave Malaysia for the malays. Trouble is Singapore is so small, its land mass will not allow a huge population to live in the island.
So next choice for the Chinese to emigrate is to Australia and New Zealand. The exodus has begun. Those who can afford now have started to go. The signs are already there.
There is no future in this country anymore. In a few years time this country will be in ruins when the oil money runs dry. FDI has already dry up and gone to other countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Foreign factories have closed shop migrated to China and India.
Chinese planning to emigrate should also consider option to return to China. Some of my friends when to invest there and within a few years become millionaires. There is much more opportunities and being Chinese there shouldn't be any problem.
By my own experience I can tell you that it is great being a new citizen in Singapore. You are judged by what you can contribute and not but some NEP policies.
The education in Singapore is also about the best in the world. Yes, even the educators from the native English-speaking countries adopt how mathematics and science are taught here.
Best of all, every time you cross the causeway to visit Malaysia you are rewarded by at least 2 or 3 times in your spending capability.
Oops……….now that this is happening, in the next 5 - 10 years, Malaysia will end up looking like the Philippines, where their main export is maids. Lack of income from tax, will see economy melt down. Skilled professionals all fled from the country.
Yes and having lived overseas, I have a nice bird's eye view of how Malaysia is heading towards the sewers.
Malaysia has spent the last 3 decades focusing on physical infrastructure without developing the human capital. Never mind the restrictions and stifling of independent minds - let us not even go there yet.
Let us start with basic education and providing of higher education opportunities for the best and brightest. We have cultivated at least 2 generations of dumbass.
Too many unqualified malays have been force fed into colleges and universities and the end result is you have the same bunch of witless village idiots, except now they are holding a piece of paper they don't know what to do with. A minority is absorbed back into the tertiary education system……….no prizes for guessing what that has caused over the last 30 years.
For the majority remaining, real world corporations wouldn't even hire them if they offered to work for free. So you have a bunch of jobless numbskulls who think they are too good for the common labor jobs, which they would have ended up in anyways given their aptitude and qualification, and desire a pen-pushing corporate position (if they could push that pen to string one coherent sentence in English, that would be another thing).
So we bring in all sorts of foreign labors to do our work for us, and we have a youth bulge of unemployable (and grossly unqualified) graduates walking around with a sense of entitlement.
Sounds familiar? It should. This is what is happening in the Middle East.
This trend towards greater Islamic extremism is also no coincidence. It is merely the natural path of development that a failed society embarks upon.
The malays have failed. Plain and simple. Their policies stink, they have screwed themselves more than they have others, in fact. The only reason the shit hasn't hit the fan sooner is because, like their desert co-religionists, they have petroleum propping them up.
That will go soon……….not totally, but it won't be at the present rate it props the country up. And it is closer than you think.
Those who can should emigrate and get the hell out - and that includes our malay brothers and sisters who have the means to. When the dust settles, no amount of cyber cities, longest bridges and tallest buildings, are going to save you from the disaster of a fourth world country that is being developed.
I am one of the cows applying for migration. How do I feel? I feel that the world is my home. If I am not treated well here, I will go to another country.
It is not about fighting for the country or fighting for the world. I am fighting for a better life and that is what everyone craves for.
Anyway why limit ourselves to one country when we can explore to other places. We only leave once, make the best out of it.
Well, the most popular countries to emigrate are Australia, New Zealand and USA. For those who wanted to emigrate to any of these countries and not prepare to pay the extra migration agent fees should consider apply themselves, it is not difficult as long as you meet the respective country criteria.
I know because I am an migrant myself and I helped my friends to emigrate to all those countries in the past three years.
I agree with one that the media in Singapore is controlled. In fact, arguably more controlled than ours Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteHowever, take a look at their qualifications and the results they have delivered! Until today, there is yet a single shoddy and blatantly outrages personal business deal involve any of them. Don't they qualify on their own rights?
Is the grass greener on the other side?
Let us ponder:
They are in the first world category. Ours?
They don't have racial discriminatory policies. Ours?
They don't have ministers who act more like circus' clowns. Ours?
Their country's coffer is loaded with money despite having no oil. Ours?
Their citizens don't have bread and butter issues. Ours?
The grass is indeed greener on the other side.
Migration and emigration of human beings is a pre-requisite of human progress and development. Without migration, human beings would be doomed to an existence worse than that of animals. Even animals migrate to seek a better habitat.
ReplyDeletePatriotism is not a one-way thing, it is a two-way commitment. If one finds that one's loyalty and patriotism is not reciprocated as having to live with a corrupt government, discriminatory policies, inhumane and repressive laws etc, one has a right to review one's commitment and patriotism if one so chooses.
Why would people stay if their talents are not recognised in their own country and they do not have the opportunities to develop their potential? Why remain when they can have these opportunities in another country?
Indeed, it is very fortunate that we all live in this day and age of globalisation where we are free to live and work anywhere in the world as long as we have the skill and talent.
There is much less reason now to put up with bad governments, or corrupt, oppressive and racist regimes, anywhere in the world.
Of course the grass is never greener on the other side. You still need the same energy, enterprise and sometimes luck to make it. But there is no doubt in my mind and in those who have worked here and overseas - the playing field is more level abroad.
Whilst, I may add that most lower middle-class Malaysian citizens and professionals are the main bulk of immigrants to countries abroad. They need to get settled first and have a few contacts to start life anew.
To expect them to be millionaires in businesses will take a generation or more and we are beginning to see that now. If they had not emigrated, they would have been hard pressed to send their children abroad and everybody knows the quota system for universities, jobs, job opportunities and promotions back home.
In Canada, we experience the best there is in life. Every citizen has equal rights. They have done well in every aspect of life.
In the US, anyone whether black, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Mexican etc, has the right to run for president. There are no restrictions, one only needs to secure the votes.
Nobody should operate under the assumption that migration is a bed of sweet, smelling roses. Roses have thorns.
Certainly, migration is not a dirty word. In fact, migration is the reason for this multiethnic paradise I call home today. The question is, can Malaysia retain its talents?
We are simply losing good people to the more developed countries, and this problem is also faced by other countries such as India and China.
Singapore has been absorbing our talents regardless of the medium of instruction they have been taught in.
Perhaps the biggest slap on our face is the fact that thousands and thousands of Malaysians have been recruited to bloom in the Lion City's workforce, while our own industry leaders have done nothing to help the government keep these investments from going abroad.
Many people leave the country for a variety of reasons. Some leave for economic reasons, some for better education, some over concerns for the climate of democracy in their home country.
There is no reason to deride any migrant for their choices in life. Every human being is entitled to the right of physical, social and geographical mobility - you seek your place on earth and call it home.
So leave if you must, go while you can, but don't give up on the march. That is a worthy sacrifice that requires courage.
Congratulations to those who have found a better future in life.
Use your brain to think why the non-malays want to emigrate?
ReplyDeleteI got a PR in Australia and Singapore, they even treat me better than my home country in Malaysia whereby all the illegal Muslim immigrants from Indonesia and Philippines obtained Mycard so easily, and become bumis directly especially in Sabah.
They are more than one million aliens with Mycard and bumis status.
One of the most glaring and blatant distortion of the "social contract" was the secular character of nation-building, that Malaysia is a secular nation but not an Islamic state - a position publicly reaffirmed by the first three prime ministers, but which was unilaterally and unconstitutionally abandoned by the Barisan Nasional government in the "929 Declaration" that Malaysia is an Islamic state.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of the distortion of the "social contract" happened in parliament when the Umno minister accused the opposition, of questioning the sensitive issue of malay special rights when touching on the controversy over bumi corporate equity during the debate.
In my statement, I said this was an unconstitutional rewriting of the "social contract" as the New Economic Policy target for bumi corporate equity is not protected by Article 153 of the constitution on "special position" of the malays and the natives of Sabah and Sarawak, and questioning the NEP targets is not questioning Article 153 of the constitution.
We all now know that Umno is a racist party in the mold of the apartheid regime of South Africa in the last century, and also practices a big part of Hitler politics (master race).
ReplyDeleteThese are the salient aspects of Umno politics.
Without these racist politics, where else is the strength of Umno! How can they win elections if they don't show and shout racist and discriminatory remarks to their voters and audiences?
Wheeeeeeeee the racist anony datang lagi! *makan popcorn*
