Demand in China for Bird's Nest

Demand in China for Bird's Nest

With increased demand, can Bird's Nest be "made from Melamine"?

Malaysian Graduates: Have they learned anything?

Fiasco at UM on day of robe collection

ALL the while, I harboured the confidence that our youths will be the pillars of society and that maybe with good education, our future generations will not make the same mistakes that our politicians are making now.

But, after reading the letter by a concerned undergraduate of arguably the best university in Malaysia, what a wrong perception I have!

It seems to me that even at the “grassroots” stage, we have inculcated all the wrong values for our growing generations and if our graduates have to camp and queue-jump through the night just to get a proper fitting robe, it leaves me with the thought that this country is going down the drain like the sewage we indiscriminately throw into them every day.

Is our education policy all wrong?

The merits of a polygamous marriage

The merits of a polygamous marriage.....

Extract...... "Siti Aminah who married 38-year-old businessman Shamsul Amir Shahbudin on Sunday, said she was happy that his first wife Masitah Abdullah accepted her as a younger sister and that they were all going to be living under same roof. As for Masitah, she said she looked at her husband's second marriage as her gift to him for his 38th birthday......"


I hope my wife would also 'gift' me a 19 year old pretty lady on my 63rd birthday! Usually, she just gives me a suspicious look ! :-$

The Reality of Democracy in Malaysia

It must be up to Africa

Extracts: "....It suits us, in full preaching mode, to believe that democracy comes easy. It doesn't in many parts of the globe where tribal and religious loyalties tear up the textbooks....."
Nail on the head, the statement by Preston on the 'reality' of democracy. The dreadful thing in Malaysia is that we may be seeing the start of the "tearing up of the textbooks" where 'tribal and religious" loyalties hold sway over political allegiances. UMNO and PAS are pre dominant ethnc components in the 2 major opposing political alliances currently locked in a divisive power struggle for the rights to rule the country. I pray that Malaysia do not become the "Zimbabwe" of S. E. Asia !!
Abdullah welcomes PAS statement on talks

Extract: ".....Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has welcomed PAS’ statement that it is willing to hold discussions with Umno on Malay issues and Islam, saying it was “a good and important move.”........."

Ali Baba and his thieves, Episode 2

Immigration chief and six others arrested for alleged graft
ACA nabs another top immigration officer


I said too soon didn't I? When the cops did a "Brutus and Julius Caesar" act in Gemas Police Station, I wondered if other departments also 'danced to the same tune'.. Lo and behold, one day later, the whole Immigration Department is dancing. Now let's see if Customs will follow suit. It would also be interesting to see if politicians will be "exempt" from this anti corruption drive!

Where have all the buses gone?

WHERE HAVE ALL THE BUSES GONE?

Please read this to the tune of. "Where have all the flowers gone?" playing in your head!!
!

Where have all the buses gone?
Long time, waiting
Where have all the buses gone?
Long time to wait
Where have all the buses gone
Drivers hijacked them, everyone
When will we ever learn
When will we ever learn!!

Even Ali Baba and his thieves have some scruples!

Cops vs Cops in Police Station

Extract....."A policeman has lodged a report against all his colleagues including his superiors allegedly over dissatisfaction on how the monthly bribes from those operating illegal activities was being distributed......"

This throws up the question: Is this happening only in ONE police station? What about the millions of $$$ that have been confiscated by the Customs, Immigrations? Close one eye?

Castration is the only solution!

Nazri ticks off security guards...Short skirts excite some people!

Student: I was sex slave for dad, brother

I am glad Nazri ticked off those guys.... If the sight of a naked knee can excite those guards, no wonder even their own blood and kin are not safe...!!! :-(( There can be only one solution to this problem. In ancient China when the Emperor needed Mandarins to work in the palace close to his thousands of concubines(who maybe quite bored, waiting for the "services" of His majesty), he just got them castrated! These eunuchs, freed from the rigours of unfulfilled sex and lust, thence devoted their energies to make the country great! Look at what Admiral ChengHo did, and he was an eunuch! Malaysia boleh?

Life's a passing fad...

Life's a passing fad
Paled by Death's permanence
An incandescent candle
Exuberant in its dancing flame
A cruel wind snuffs out its revelry
Or, slowly burns out
Into infinite insignificance.

Some "bad" jokes......

Just saw an afternoon movie on TV, called "Prairie Home" starring Meryl Streep and Lindsay Lohan, among others, and heard some "bad" jokes there that I think we will like:
  1. What did the elephant say to the naked man?? What did he say? How can you breathe through that 'thing'?
  2. 1st man said to the 2nd, " I think my wife is dead". 2nd man asked, "Why do you think she is dead?" 1st man replied, "Well, the sex is still the same, but the dishes are piling up !!"
  3. A gang of thieves stole a truckload of Viagra, and now the police are looking for some "hard" criminals....!
  4. Why do women get PMS?? Because the "Mad Cow Disease" has already been taken,....!! :-P .

Pious Muslims, or obsessed with SEX?

Worrying obsession with women’s attire

Stupid excuses touted as cause of rape

Are Malaysians pious, or are they just obsessed with sex? I would like to quote from the writer of the first letter... ".....But the religious people, especially the Muslims, are far removed from this productive process. They waste everyone’s time with these strange and unworkable ideas that do not contribute much to the human race. Despite the 21st century, the Internet and such, they have the capacity to turn back the clock almost to the Stone Age. We have seen this in Afghanistan and elsewhere....."
The other big problem in Malaysia now is that these sober views are just assigned to the "opinion" page of the letters, while those "frogs under the coconut shells" hog the limelight, bringing ridicule to the country.

NO POLITICIAN CAN BE TRUSTED !!!

Pakatan Rakyat losing its plot

I actually never believed that we will see anything different, whether it's BN or PR. The Selangor MB appears to be a loose cannon, and most of the PAS guys are "katak di bawah tempurong" never willing to view women other than as sex objects.. I also don't think Kedah is going to fare any better; the timber felling at the Pedu and Muda dam catchment areas started as a "threat" to the Central Govt., a move that I called "cutting the nose to spite the face". When even the PR coalition members protested, it was revised to helicopter harvesting only the dead trees so that the young ones have space to grow. Pray, do you think that once you allow those savages into the forests, they will JUST cut only the dead trees? You know, after the trees are cut and left to dry, they can be shown to the "enforcers" that they are already dead. Finally when even the MB of Kelantan Dato Nik Aziz came out to say that the prject is harmful to the State, the Kedah MB appeared on Prime Time TV3 last night, and stated that TIMBER WILL BE EXTRACTED IN SPITE OF THE FEDERAL GOVT GIVING THE 100 MILLION AS DEMANDED. Now which politicians can you trust?? God Save Malaysia..!!!
