Bloody Malaysian Politicians

,,,eerrmm ! Should I use a cangkul as a spade too at times ..hahhha !!
,,,mind you, the fate of our beloved country in the short to medium term may end up as a failed state, if the politicians, political parties and NGOs of this country are not careful; not unless our nation-building projects is/are re-activated seriously and coldly too !.
,,,plus those who are currently involved in the heightening of tensions in the country ought to realise the cost of their stupid actions on the nation’s image and long-term prospects; and the eventual consequences should the "nation-building project" fail in this country...our "Malaysia".
,,,Our country - like every other country in this globalised world today - has to really fight/earn/creative for our future survival and we are not going to be given a another bloody chance by any body too. Its the reality of life and living.
,,,So, dear all fellow Malaysians we therefore have to unite or perish, together yaa !!. No question about it. Brotherly PEACE please by all of us true malaysian.
,,,to all our bloody Malaysian technocrats and politicians; please just leave stupid emotions outside politics and bloody well govern coldly and rationally. STOP the bloody blame game too. Just get to work and enough of playing crazy racialistic politics.

NOW dear GUYS, how to get this simple message across ?. We don't have to be "bloody" at it too yaa.

Malay Malaysian eeerrrmmm...hello

,,,the Malays is a confused lot of people, they are everybody but no body except for the bloody mafia Putras in Putrajaya !.
,,,they are fighting for their so called stupid RIGHTS to be the under dogs too !. Some claimed to be more Islamic than others and dress up more Arabic than the Arabs themselves. Most or rather majority are hypocrites but claim not to be one. Pretty good in taking short cuts plus ready to blame the world and everyone except themselves. Cannot see another successful individual Malay Malaysian to stand-up and sharing their good experience with life and living. Slow and backwards in THINKING too except for the very very few. Generally, "Tak boleh tengok orang lain senang ?."
,,,the Malays in general must change their mindset and attitude, plus take more "Actions" than just talking/dreaming about it until even the cows refused to come home.
,,,there is still hope for this Malaysian nation too, just forget about racialists politics and policies.
...plus stop sitting on an Arabic high horse too for God's sake.
,,,PLEASE, dear Malay Malaysian just get real and act as an human being like the rest of bro./sis. Malaysian ?. There is no free lunch too yaa. Its hard work plus blood sweat and tears....the only road to success-lah. BUT be smart at it too.

... and SAY NO TO DIRTY CORRUPTED POLITICIANS TOO, vote them out in GE 13.

Facing 'face to face' of life and living.

Dear Ivan,

,,,,its almost similar being a Malay too, we Malays must change to accept the reality of life and living plus accept responsibility ofup-keeping oneself, stop blaming 'others' in the country and acceptthe fact that we are as human as the rest with nil special RIGHTS to earn an honest living without the subsidy mentality plus rid of the'corruption culture' ingrained in some or most of us !. Our mindset is out of fashion too and the fast changing world awaits for no one.

,,,am a Malay by defination but a true Malaysian by spirit and soul. All true Malaysians are my bro. and sis. no matter color, religion orcreep. What is WRONG cannot be politically right too. There is no such thing as special rights for anyone, we are equal in the eyes of God as such should/shall be equally respected as an individual. Dirty andcorrupted politics and politicians should be arrested and those foundbreaking the law be punished accordingly. Respect must be earned bydeeds not forced upon or pressured into.

,,,The Malay culture has been tarnished by these evil characters for their own personal political gainsand for short term personal gain. In fact, the Malays are/is a gentle group of people, fair thinking, honest and God fearing. Their roots goes as far back to China/India/Cambodia/Indonesia/Thailand and finally Malaya. An interesting tribe but kind of lost in history unfortunately due to very little written records or appreciation leftbehind, perhaps yet to be fully discovered.

,,,In fact, Malay history goes as far back as other old cultures in Asia but the local Malays is too Islam centric to admit their non-islamic history. How can one completely remove history ?. Guess only the Malays is good at it ?. Living only for the day, like bloody chickens with no past orfuture....laying just one stupid egg and making so much noise, waking the whole kampung !. ,,,The Malays must learn from others too and don't be too self centered with their so called RIGHTS plus all the bloody bullshit claimed by their misguided leadership to remain as masters when they actually are servants to the rest of the world. We are only masters to ourselves via hard work earned the honest way, no two ways about it. Just stand up and face the reality of life and living, itsso simple.....why all the hoo har ?. Its no big deal really.

,,,i really don't pity the lazy Malays i.e. the stupid individuals that don't learn to fish or to swim when you earn your living above water!.....plus they must stop throwing stones at their glass windows too. Only oneself to take the blame and learn the hard lessons for survival, there is no free lunch or easy way out in this dog eat dogworld of ours. Even the top dog has to earn the respect from othercrazy dogs yaa hehehe

....the moral of the story ?........stop the bloody stupid political nonsense and be real for God's sake-lah.

,,,WAKE-up lah!. Don't get conned again and again by these dirty characters.

,,,"I was born a Muslim and lived all my life as a follower of Islam. After the barbaric terrorist attacks done by the hands of my fellow Muslims, everywhere on this globe, and after the too many violent acts by Islamists in many parts of the world, I feel responsible as a Muslim and as a human being, to speak out and tell the truth to protect the world and Muslims as well from a coming catastrophe and war of civilizations. I have to admit that our current Islamic teaching creates violence and hatred toward Non-Muslims. We Muslims are the ones who need to change. Until now we have accepted polygamy, the beating of women by men, and killing those who convert from Islam to other religions. We have never had a clear and strong stand against the concept of slavery or wars, to spread our religion and to subjugate others to Islam and force them> to pay a humiliating tax called Jizia. We ask others to respect our religion while all the time we curse non-Muslims loudly (in Arabic) in our Friday prayers in the Mosques. What message do we convey to our children when we call the Jews "Descendants of the pigs and monkeys".. Is this a message of love and peace, or a message> of hate?. I have been into churches and synagogues where they were praying for Muslims. While all the time we curse them, and teach our generations to call them infidels, and to hate them. We immediately jump in a 'knee jerk reflex' to defend Prophet Mohammed when someone accuses him of being a pedophile while, at the same time, we are proud with the story in our Islamic books, that he married a young girl seven years old (Aisha) when he was above 50 years old. I am sad to say that many, if not most of us, rejoiced in happiness after September 11th and after many other terror attacks. Muslims denounce these attacks to look good in front of the media, but we condone the Islamic terrorists and sympathise with their cause. Till now our 'reputable' top religious authorities have never issued a Fatwa or religious statement to proclaim Bin Laden as an apostate, while an author, like Rushdie, was declared an apostate who should be killed according to Islamic Shariia law just for writing a book criticizing Islam. Muslims demonstrated to get more religious rights as we did in France to stop the ban on the Hejab (Head Scarf), while we did not demonstrate with> such passion and in such numbers against the terrorist murders. It is our absolute silence against the terrorists that gives the energy to these terrorists to continue doing their evil acts. We Muslims need to stop blaming our problems on others or on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. As a matter of honesty, Israel is the only light of democracy, civilization, and human rights in the whole Middle East . We kicked out the Jews with no compensation or mercy from most of the Arab countries to make them "Jews-Free countries" while Israel accepted more than a million Arabs to live there, have its nationality, and enjoy their rights as human beings. In Israel , women can not be beaten legally by men, and any person can change his/her belief system with no fear of being killed by the Islamic law of 'Apostasy,' while in our Islamic world people do not enjoy any of these rights. I agree that the 'Palestinians' suffer, but they suffer because of their corrupt leaders and not because of Israel . It is not common to see Arabs who live in Israel leaving to live in the Arab world. On the other hand, we used to see thousands of Palestinians going to work with happiness in Israel , its 'enemy'. If Israel treats Arabs badly as some people claim, surely we would have seen the opposite happening. We Muslims need to admit our problems and face them. Only then we can treat them and start a new era to live in harmony with human mankind. Our religious leaders have to show a clear and very strong stand against> polygamy, pedophilia, slavery, killing those who convert from Islam to other religions, beating of women by men, and declaring wars on non-Muslims to spread Islam. Then, and only then, do we have the right to ask others to respect our religion".

,,,The time has come to stop our hypocrisy and say it openly: 'We Muslims have to Change'.

Malaysian politicians.

,,,in fact, i find it bloody hard to trust any malaysian politicians nowadays except the very few !. Which still i find hard to identify right now unfortunately. Most are like snakes, they shed their skin regularly. ,,,time is passing and the world changing yet our bloody politicians can't wake-up to its reality !. Our country has gone obsolute, good for the scrap yard with these kind of poor leadership. We have as a nation fallen behind, because others are moving forward fast. The business of life and living is to go forward. Why the stagnation ? It takes courage to change too. BUT i don't see any of it from our present so called political leaders. Guess many fear for change, they are too complacent to move and they dislike uncertainty.

,,,what a bloody shame, this was a great country now badly mismanaged by those in power. The other malaysian danger here is the tendency to get carried away by power trips by those in power too. We see it happening all the time nowadays !. Its terrible and unbecoming too.

,,,to all the malaysian politicians, your altruism will only reach a high plane when you really care for others outweighs your concern for yourself-lah.

...FAHAM TAK?. INI MASIH INGAT INDIVIDUAL SURVIVAL SAJA, TAK HABIS HABIS.

Opportunities aplenty around you and me.

,,,may i just write this down in black and white hehehe !..that opportunities are everywhere, in the air, under the sea, on the land plus beneath the earth too ! (i was with the Oil&Gas industry for the past 23 years yoo).

,,,Just cruise along any cities, there are thousands upon thousands of businesses running, to be created and launched...buildings awaiting to be repainted. Drive along the country side, there remiles upon miles of land for planting, growing and be harvested

...in pasar malam, I walked into people buying just about anything and learned that people had been trapping grasshoppers, breeding earth worms, which were exported or fed to pets or utilized for fishing etc, the the thousands !..others make cakes, plastic flowers, grow/sell bonsais i.e. tiny plants you can pick along rocky places, sell kebabs or trade in antiques i.e. things which you and me just throw out as rubbish !.

,,,I walk into the jungle and notice heaps of delicious 'wood-ear' fungi, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, nuts, fruits, ferns etc being harvested free from the wild by the orang asli to sell to some middle man, who then makes millions of money a year. In the sea, I see gamat, fishes and jelly-fish plus a few sharks too. I notice a fellow collecting jelly fish, apparently he export it across to japan, worth thousands of ringgit a week !.

,,,Indeed over the years, i have heard of numerous created or seized opportunities, which led to much wealth. Infact, there are just too many example for me to list it down here. The keling bottle man, started buying scrap metal for a song long time ago and accumulated riches. I met an aged fellow back in India a few years back, he is a bloody rich retired keling botoi gentleman nowadays !. There are unlimited opportunities in every industry...hihihi remember where there is an open-mind, there will always be a frontier and OPPORTUNITIES are everywhere. Sometimes, a casual remark from someone can spark an INSPIRATION or the onset of a windfall !!. Be vigilant and keep a constant watch. ..."celek mata"-lah..open your eyes to notice the endless marvels and possibilities, even in our daily lives. You see, what a different set of eyes and attitude can make heaven or hell, diamond of dirt !.

,,,A funny paradox of opportunities is that they often spring from problems and difficulties !

...but good opportunities for me is often disguised as hard labour for others that is why so few people recognize them !! hehehe...or rather yoohohoo ??

...eerrmm i indeed just sell the malaysian hospitalty for a living on the island nowadays ! hihihi

... well, well, well, just noticed lots of bat-shit in the caves too........ kling kling kling sound of cashflow ??

Awakened to be one-self.

,,,My being awakened to liberty and self-choice, unconditioned being-oneself, is the doing of another, like in salvation. In any case, my unconditioned self is oriented towards unconditioned selves, requires and seeks communication with them; my uniqueness is elicited by and requres the uniqueness of others, and is otherwise unthinkable. Being-oneself is not real without communication, just as empty liberty is not real without manifesting itself in choice.
,,,My liberty posits and requires the liberty of everyone else. The magic formula is ; "I will that each other shall be what I strive to become, that he be himself in sincerity and in truth." This appeal to the other is accompanied by self-revelation without reserve ; one dares 'to be naked' before the other ; the formalities, conventions, and reserves of ordinary intercourse are inappropriate to communication at the level of being-oneself. One becomes oneself and brings the other to himself in thus opening oneself to him. For this communication is not the sharing of what is in common but insistence upon the authentic singularity of each. It is therefore conflict, but a 'loving struggle', the struggle of beings who recognize themselves as united but have as a condition of their reality to assert and maintain their difference and to question and challenge themselves and each other.
,,,The truth of each is the truth of himself and for him there is no alternative, his uniqueness is a vital assimilation and affirmation which is his alone ; there is no truth, but there is the truth of others. The 'loving struggle' of communication is the corrective of the unavoidable arbitrariness in this necessary solitude of truth.
,,,Existences are linked by reason and in communiation strive to bring themselves to the unity which they have by faith. The separation is never wholly overcome ; truth remains invincibly multiple, a conflict of absolute not a totality of perspective, a call to being-oneself and to communicate not a form of knowledge, for the total object of knowledge is lost in transcendence which cannot be apprehended in its unity. Here again, therefore, there is frustration ; but no relaxation of the effort to communicate. Communication is between persons who participate in a common world order and collaborate in common tasks which humanize relations between individuals, but communication does not reside in this intercourse, it springs from it. The other is properly constituted for me as a person by my being fully myself, that is, communication is in the world of being-oneself. Otherwise, he is another one like me and all others, an object and a means, a figure in the world, a rational consciousness equivalent with every other, and one who interests me only in so far as we envisage a common object or form a common thought universally valid or participate in a common society. This objectification of communication is like the objectification which reduces the ;\'thou' to a 'he' ; it forms the substration from which true communication may rise and to which it may sink.
,,,Love, 'the absolute consciousness in its plenitude', is always possible, and always desired by the person awakened to being-oneself. Ideas which claim objective validity pass away, but 'there are always the men/ladies with whom I am or can be in communication, and with them what is for me authentic being stands firm'.
,,,However, communication is not limited to comtemporaries physically encountered ; it is possible to seek and to touch authentic being-oneself in history, not necessarily the men/ladies of external greatness and success, but the men/ladies of faith, love, and imagination who move and call me to become myself.
,,,indeed, communication, the most essential of existential tasks, it is the most precious and the most fragile of all possible achievements. You, me can make it or break it, if we are not careful about it, so lets communicate objectively.....hi, hello there ?.

Piracy in the South China Sea and Malacca Straits.

,,,Yoohohoo !!....chopper landed on beach front of Capt's Longhouse, Kapas Island on 14th, 15th and 16th Feb'2010. Visitors of the PirateKing !. Topic for deliberation...geee indeed more about pirates of South China Sea ?(infact, they came for some scuba diving-lah !. hehehe...just kidding yaa.)

,,,Pirates attacks in the South China Sea are increasing and Malaysia has urged the bordering nations to work together to fight the threat. "Piracy there is not conventional any more. Pirates feel that the countries don't patrol the sea enough," Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times newspaper. Zahid said that state-of-the art technology adopted by the navies of some littoral nations were useless without cooperation in combating the high-seas menace. You bet !.

,,,The International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a global maritime watchdog, said there were 22 attacks reported in the area for the first 11 months of this year compared to 17 for the whole of 2008."The cases are quite sporadic as once we report an attack to the authorities the numbers go down but they then slowly creep up again," said Noel Choong, head of the IMB's global piracy reporting centre. He said the affected area lies in a triangle between Indonesia's Anambas Islands, Tioman Island off Malaysia and the eastern Singapore Straits.

,,,The South China Sea is bordered by Brunei, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. "The challenge for neighbouring countries is to try to contain this piracy level while it is still small before it gets out of control like in Somalia".

,,,Pirate attacks in the Malacca Strait, which was once the world's worst piracy hotspot, have declined sharply in recent years thanks to large-scale coordinated patrols involving Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore plus also partly the after effects of the Tsunami that destroyed the pirate fleets.

,,,More than 30 percent of world trade, and half the world's oil shipments, pass through the busy waterway of the Malacca Strait. And its becoming a bottle neck for the passing ships too.

,,,Surely they should seek some real advise from the KapasPirateKing ?. yoo !
