P44 Permatang Pauh Votes Today

Votes Today

Its the 26th of August 2008. In my books this is a landmark day that could determine the long term direction of a nation. By the end of today, Malaysians will be stuck with 2 possibilities.

1) Arif Shah Wins the Permatang Pauh seat and makes his entry into the parliament(where his Chinese speaking skills will come before “dengan izin” and nothing more.

2) Anwar Ibrahim marks his return into the parliament to be a force that the government will be wary off before making any haste decisions OR starts for a push for a new government to bring change to a nation.

Personally im banking on the later to happen. If Anwar wins the seat he will now lead a push for the opposition to take over the government which has been ruling the country for 51 years come the 31st of August 2008. The way i see it, we have nothing too loose but all to gain with Anwar’s return to “mainstream politics”

To the people of Permatang Pauh, the nations is banking on you to decide the future of the nation so go out and vote with a clear mind and don’t worry about missing out on the hand out’s which are like a RM625 subsidy which is pleasing for the short term but damaging in the long run.

If I Were Avril Lavigne

There has been so much said about the Avril Lavigne concert that is due to be held at Stadium Merdeka on the 29th of August 2008. Apparently the Grammy Nominated singer is not good influence and too sexy for the innocent Malaysians.

The papers have been flooded with news about their disagreement of her concert with the latest from the Press Association and Billboard.biz.

Frankly im a little embarrassed that these sort of protest are coming out of a nation who are as developed as Malaysia. If i were Avril Lavigne, i would cancel my concert and make a huge fuss about it to my fellow artist to not go to a country that doesn’t want me to perform there!

For years we have been starved out of mainstream artist who want to brace our stage. I remember that Beyonce got cancelled because of this and i don’t know how many more artist must have declined the idea of performing here as well. Are we that shallow?

Do you honestly think that one concert can influence the youth’s into bad stuff which they are not already doing without your knowledge?

My better half got her self a new puppy at her place and i noticed that when you dont let the pup do what he wants, that’s exactly what it does. Ironically, even kids are the same…When you shout at the kids too much of a certain issue, that’s exactly what the child would do!

Now, what if we explained why you do not encourage or justify your call and let the them decide whats best for them..Don’t you think that may work better?

I’m disappointed at this call…If Jenna Jameson wanted to come to Malaysia for a performance and they made these noises….Then i can understand but Avril? Give me a break!

To be a developed nation you need to be developed mentally as well!! As long as you think like a 3rd world nation, that’s exactly what you are going to be! By the way… You can buy your tickets for the concert from Axcess

UITM For Malays Only

UITM is now the most popular university in the country, for the right reasons? Im not too sure about that. The above banner was unfolded at Permatang Pauh yesterday by UMNO Kedah calling to protect the rights of the Malays and maintaining 100% Malays into the Universiti.

My take- Defenses are up and defending the rights of the Malays (By certain quaters who want to take advantage of the situation.

Why do i think so? Read the rest of this entry »

Racial Game Again!

The Vice Chancellor of MARA (Ibrahim Abu Shah), I think does not deserve to be in that post. He is the education field. He should be promoting and supporting Abdul Khalid’s suggestion. He should encourage the move as it allows more people to gain knowledge and educate themselves. He should have stood up to the idea that an individuals’ race should not be the determinant as to whether he or she will be able to pursue their studies in the institution of their choice.

However, he chose to give a lame excuse. He said that UITM is a public university which was reserved for bumiputras, as a majority of students in leading fields of study in higher-learning institutions in Malaysia were non-Bumis. This is absolute crap. What is he talking about? Does he have the statistics? Go and look it up before making such comments. It is a well known fact that there are more bumiputra’s in the public universities. The non-bumi’s might have filled the so called non-existent quota but the courses they get are not something that they opt for or are in demand.

I thought after 51 years of Merdeka, the Malaysian spirit is already instilled in us. However, it is so sad to see that we have not moved forward since 1957. Instead we have moved so much to the back that I think it will take a whole new generation to change the existing attitudes and to be able to say “I am a Malaysian” and truly mean it. We are no longer as close as we were about 50 years back. In 1957, I could be of any ethnic origin. I was allowed to pursue my education if my performance in school was good. I did not have to belong to a particular group or nationality to further my studies. Now, that is what should be the scene now. Even better, we should have already been giving free education at university levels for all our students. Our students are our assets. There is no wastage of public funds when the funds are actually utilized for educating the people of the country.

However, It is sad that we have chose to say that we are separate although we are citizens of the same country. It is sad to say that we have separate institutions for different races so that we can each try to out do the other race. It is sad to say that we are Malaysians but we have three different types of education systems! It is sad to see our students in the university, who are suppose to be forward looking and open minded being so lost in their own tiny world.

Why should they protest if non-bumis are allowed to study with them? Are the non-bumis a threat to them? Of course not! No one is a threat to anyone. Everyone should be given equal opportunity. I have just one thing to ask the guys from MARA who joined the rally on Tuesday. Just imagine what your reaction will be if you were in a country which you call home and be told that you can’t study in this institution because you are not of a specific race. Or your parents tell you that they won’t finance your education because you are not worth it! Just take a minute and ponder upon it. I am sure you will realize the hurt the non-malays go through everyday in our present Malaysia which we call home.

You guys got to understand one thing, we are not telling you that you should not pursue your studies. We are just saying that everyone should have equal opportunity. We are not a threat. We just want to be accepted. We are born in the same land. There is nothing different in us. We breathe the same air. Lets change and live as one big family. Stop trying to identify yourselves as a race. Start thinking like a Malaysian and not a Bumiputra. Be like Abdul Khalid. He has not betrayed his race. He has just proved that he is a true Malaysian!

Boy, am I glad to see Abdul Khalid Ibrahim as Selangor’s MB. He is really carrying out his duties as promised. It takes a courageous person and a man of values to make such a suggestion as you made especially in today’s political arena where the racial card is the one most played with. Hat’s off to you Sir! You really have the Malaysian spirit!
