It is good to be home after being away for slightly more than a week.
Access to internet was deprived since I was living in a friend's new apartment in Beijing. Due to her busy schedule, she has yet to install the broadband service.
Well, just read about Hisham's apology this morning. I think it is a good beginning, although undignified by the qualification. I am sure he was under tremendous pressure to do so, but who cares?
To me, there is nothing wrong about wielding a Keris. But in what context, and, atmosphere a Keris is wielded, makes a difference. I need not elaborate.
About Keris, I believe there is one more person who must apologise. His apology, I reckon would be more important than that of Hishamuddin's.
He is none other than our Deputy Prime Minister, or Prime Minister in waiting, Najib Tun Razak.
I remember vividly in 1987, Najib wielded a Keris, and said, he wanted that Keris to be soaked in Chinese blood. And I wonder now, have we all forgotten that? has he forgotten that? Why is it no one asks for his apology?
How could we have a deputy prime minister who wants his own people's blood? How could we, reasonably expect him to take care of us?
As for me, Najib MUST NOT be our prime minister. To me, he is evil.
As I have said, my blog was never intended to be political, this shall remain so. Nonetheless, I feel compelled to remind all Malaysians, how thirsty Najib was in 1987 for the Chinese blood.
Apologise, he must.

Sassy MP
Teresa Kok calls herself a Sassy MP
Free Dictionary describes Sassy as
1. Rude and disrespectful; impudent.
I just wonder which one does Teresa think she belongs to ;-)
Na.... I was just trying to be coy. Thought it is quite cute when someone calls herself sassy!
Me meant no harm....

Jalan Gelenggang
A year ago, a little restaurant along Jalan Gelenggang in Damansara Heights was ordered by DBKL to close down. They sent 3 big trucks and about 30 personnel to do the job.
This happened despite numerous appeals to the DBKL Town Planning Department.
According to Puan Fajariah Bt. Sulaiman of the Town Planning Department, the restaurant has caused traffic congestion along Jalan Gelenggang. Hence, they will not approve any restaurant along Jalan Gelenggang and Lorong Dungun. This despite, the area was zoned for commercial use.
The owner of the little restaurant wrote to the director of Town Planning, Tuan Hj. Mahadi bin Che Ngah and invited him to send his officers to be stationed at the restaurant, to find out for themselves, if the customers indeed caused traffic congestion.
Alas, no response. You know, they were not interested. They had their mind made up.
It is understood by all those who reside or work around that area, the traffic congestion along Jalan Gelenggang and Jalan Dungun was caused, predominantly by the college buses and parents’ cars who would simply just double or triple park, waiting to pick up the students or their kids who study in Help Institute University, located right opposite the little restaurant.
When this issue was raised with Town Planning Department, it turned to their deaf ears.
I was told by the owner of that little restaurant, on that fated day, he asked the lead officer Puan Fajariah, who was present at the scene, what about the other few restaurants along Lorong Dungun? Would she dare close them down since a Tun’s son owns one of them, the other a Datuk’s son? She replied, “Tun tak Tun, kena tutup juga” (Tun or no Tun, must close down)
She said those 2 other restaurants would be closed by the end of March 2007.
Today, the 2 restaurants are still happily running business. One of them will blast loud music on some weekends, causing such stress to the residents around that area.
Oh ya, there is a new restaurant being set up since closure of the little one.
You know what, the traffic around there is worst then ever.
I guess, it makes a difference whether you are a Tun or Datuk!

Ismail Sabri Yaakop for Youth Chief?
Little bird told me KJ has asked Youth and Sports Minister, Ismail Sabri Yaakob to go for the Youth Chief post in UMNO.
I don't know.
Just wait and see.
KJ is a smart guy, he knows he can't go for it himself, he will surely lose.
