Chor chor, what a chor

Our deputy Home Minister said we can't listen to one side of the story only. But, it seems, only he can.

It was reported in Malaysiakini that our Deputy Home Minister Chor Chee Heung explained that the police initially did not interfere with the scuffle between Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents and alleged thugs because they were waiting for back-up.... blah blah blah...

So, so, it seems he tried to justify the police's behavior too in beating up that poor chap of 21 years old?

It is no wonder and no surprise that our police forces behave the way they behave today. You have the whole government and the police chief justifying every wrongdoings on their behalves, what else do you need to do? How else do you expect them to conduct themselves?

So, we can't rely on Malaysiakini's report only. He can, Chor can rely on the "complete report" on the fracas prepared by the police. Is he blind? Is he stupid? Is he also asleep? I hope he wakes up soon, otherwise, when he wakes up, he can no longer find his seat in the Parliament.

Ezam & Umno

According to the Star's report on Friday, Ezam will soon rejoin UMNO.
Also reported that he will cease to head the anti-corruption NGO, Gerak, in preparation for his return to UMNO.
Aiya, of course lah, he has to resign from Gerak, how can he head an anti-corruption NGO if he decides to join the King of all Corruptions - UMNO? Mana boleh! TAK jadi lah!

It also says there is speculation that he may be appointed a senator after joining UMNO, and, with the same breath, it states that sources said, Ezam was content to be an ordinary member for a start. Eh eh, kalau benar, why must he resign from Gerak in preparation for joining UMNO. If it is only to be a ordinary member, no need to resign lah, he will have a lot of spare time, right?

Oops, of course, he has to resign, anti-corruption NGO does not jive well with UMNO's philosophy!

Keris, Hisham and Najib Tun Razak

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.
2. Lively and spirited; jaunty.
3. Stylish; chic

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.
