Who is the smart bonehead who suggested to give that amount to anybody who discard their vehicles of more than fifteen years? This bonehead must be nuts. What is he driving at? And Proton is the first to be in the driving seat! Is Proton all geared up for this?
If anyone who owns and drive a vehicle of more than fifteen years I can come up with only two reasons. Reason one: The vehicle is for sentimental reason. Reason two: Simply cannot afford a new vehicle. Sorry no offence meant. To trade in your 'boneshaker' one must be prepare to fork out a substantial amount of money. The prompt payment for monthly installments, fuel and the periodical maintenance. All these would take a toll on one's finance. Times are hard these days and one needs to tighten one's belt. You have to be committed.
People who owned these 'boneshakers' are literally the old folks, the retirees and the pensioners. It is just a transport from place A to place B. Sending their grandchildren to school. Goes marketing with the wife and drop by their favourite coffee shop for a sip.
This suggestion would not work. It's not that simple! If and when recession sets in, people are more concern over their livelihoods rather than thinking of changing their cars.

We Are No Saints
Can anybody says otherwise? See, we are all human. We breathe the same air and eat the same food. But they are some clowns who say they are 'more saint' than anyone of us! My! My! What arrogrance! Suffice to say, we do not need this kind of 'holier than thou' clowns amongst us. We were all born equal in the eyes of God but some begged to differ. We have people of all races, colours and creeds but our blood flows red.
Must we pry into a fellow human's private life and private affairs? Do we really want people to pry and intrude into ours? You must be a saint if you readily allow people to do that! The media must share the blame too! Private life is no more private when the media give 'free advertising' to you. Come on media, don't you have anything better to write? Must you too stoop so low as to make people's life miserable? Must you 'clown' in order to sell your papers? Would you do the same if people dearest to you happened to be the victims? Can you in all honesty, deny that?
Do something positive. Give suggestions. Give hints. More and more people are losing jobs everywhere. You need to remember you have an indirect responsibility to fulfill. You are the media not a meddler!

Birds Of A Feather
Even a birdbrained can tell us what birds of a feather flock together means.This is exactly what the government has been doing. Flocking together would 'guarantee your safety'! You would be untouchable! Even the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) would not be able to 'deflock' you.
The cuckoo at the MACC even hinted that legal action could be taken against Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Selangor Mentri Besar for misusing his powers over the maintenance of his personal car and the distribution of 46 cows for slaughter in his Bandar Tun Razak parliamentary constituency. How much money was misused or misplaced? Only a pittance compared to the lavish ceremonies, the red carpet treatments and the social get together of the cuckoos and their flocks at five stars hotels and resorts! The money they splashed BELONG TO THE RAKYAT! What a despicible and shameful thing to do! Haram!Haram!
And what has happen to the investigations pertaining to the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hasan and Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail? Their reports were pigeon-holed after a brief investigation. I doubt there was ever any investigations at all! They are of the same flock and you also don't bite the hand that feeds you!
Our present government is likened to eagles flying in the skies ever ready to swoop down on the sparrows and the pigeons. So, which flock do you belong to? The eagles, the sparrows or the pigeons?

Taking A Long Shot
This clown wants to be the hero of his party. This clown wants to do everything possible or impossible to rise again! I'm talking about the former MB of Selangor. After the massive setback of BN in the last general election, this clown remained in the doldrums eversince. Now this clown is making a comeback! This clown has everything to lose if he cannot make it this time. The timing must be right or else this clown would sink into oblivion! As the contest for the UMNO Youth leadership is just weeks away this is an opportune moment to do whatever it takes to secure the leadership!
This clown's opening salvo was to protest and demonstrate at Putrajaya against the ever formidable Tiger of Jelutong, Karpal Singh. The second salvo was directed at the Pakatan Rakyat state executive councillor Elizabeth Wong. This clown is no moron and he knows how to manipulate.
This clown's opponents are no pushovers! Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir is brave enough to let his tongue loose. Khairy Jamaluddin on the other hand is fiery and is very vocal. He would make a good opposition leader in the years to come.
Karpal Singh and Elizabeth Wong are not the real targets. The real target of this clown is to be the UMNO Youth leader. Those two are just pawns in his game of manipulation.This clown will do whatever it takes to achieve his ambition! It's now or never.

Cut! Cut! Cut!
You bet! Everytime the developers cut the hillsides, the clown at the Works Ministry would get cuts! The more cuts the developers carry out, the more cuts the clown would get! In this great country of mine nothing is impossible. You have seen, you have heard. It's nothing new. Look at the former clown in the Works Ministry. Need I say more! He's simply a cut above!
The clown said land was needed for development as the country's population was increasing. Of course the population is increasing by the day. Every rakyat knows that! But does the clown knows NOT all rakyat are rich? Is the clown telling us that the developers are going to build thousands of low cost houses at the hillsides for the poor rakyat? If that clown has the rakyat's interest at heart I'll be the first one to congratulate him! Please don't pull the wool over the rakyat's eyes. We are no morons and we are not completely cut off!

Another Landslide Awaits
There will be another landslide! The clown in the Public Works Department is so damn sure that with the complete ban on 'tip fill', tragedies will not recur. He must be playing God. It's easier said than done. With money it's easier done. If and when a landslide occurs, just blame mother nature.
We are also good at 'short-cuts'. So to cut a long story short, money comes into play. Got money beres. The clown said strict supervision and maintenance must be adhered to. Same old story. When we 'follow law' we are capable of reducing or minimising landslides' Playing God again.
Developers are an impatient lot! They just cannot wait. The longer they wait the more they lose. So to cut the red tape they will give the 'red packet'. The Chinese used to say, 'if small fortune don't go out big fortune won't come in'.
We are not talking about anthills or molehills. We are talking about real hills! Wait! Wait! Come to think of it. Why must we be so critical of that clown? After all people like us, the ordinary rakyat would not be able to buy such properties. Only those filthy rich can afford.

By-elections Gimmick.
Love means never having to say you're sorry! Is this what the Works Minister meant when he said it's the government way to show love to the rakyat when he announced the abolishment of the toll at PJS2? ALL TOLLS MUST BE ABOLISH! Only a section of the NPE was 'sacrifice'.Still not good enough! On hindsight, everytime when an election is due a certain category of the rakyat would be rewarded!
Only a small crowd of UMNO, PAS and PKR supporters turned up to support the abolishment. Where were MCA and the MIC? Get the picture? I'm no racist. In fact I have more friends from the other races than my own race combined!
Yes, I stand by FOMCA. There should not be toll charges for all roads! If this should happen one day then I will be the first to tell the world that my government really loves the rakyat! I frequently wonder why our government always look after the big boys and the big players. I feel that the government is playing behind our backs! Ignoring our pleas. We seemed powerless and have no bite at all! The bite will come only when we exercise our rights rightly at the ballot station. Let us all do the right thing and let us show the government that WE CAN BITE!

What's Your Excuse?
Excuse me, what's your excuse? How often have we heard of this phrase. It's common knowledge whenever an alleged accuse fails to attend court for his/her trial an unlikely excuse would be tendered to the court. "My client is sick. Here's the medical certificate." Some don't even produce it. It seemed strange. Maybe all criminal minds think alike.
Why can't they find better excuses? How about driving their cars straight into trees?Break a leg or two. Get lost in the jungle but don't forget your ration. Get shipwrecked in the sea and I hope you can swim. The rakyat are no fools. Do you think by producing a medical certificate the rakyat would be hookwinked? Far from it!Take a look at the clown from Changkat Jering. He went 'AWOL' when he was due to attend court for his corruption trial. A warrant of arrest was issued but he was nowhere to be found. He's lying and is also lying low! Do we need this type of wakil rakyat? You tell me. There were many before this clown and there'll be more after this.
Doctors who dishonestly issue medical certificates to all these clowns are in total cahoots with them! Harsh actions must be taken! These are no laughing matters. They are making a mockery out of the court. Got money everything can! Got money beres.

The Rakyat To Decide.
In every democratic country it is the people who decide which party would form the government. NOT any individual no matter what! That is why we have the general elections every few years. But democracy is dead in the state of Perak. It is such a sad case and again we are the laughing stock of the world. We are so 'in' into democracy and from what that transpired the last few days leaves much to be desired.The clown who defected or shall I say deserted his party had committed a very serious crime. He must be court-martialled. Ask the army that. The clown got away scot-free and to the rakyat dismay he was given a 'standing ovation'. So much for our democracy.
To complicate matters another three clowns deserted their party and had the cheeks to be Independents! The rakyat have been taken for a ride. The ruling party was forced out and in came another party 'forced in' by an individual with an elevated status who happened to be highly educated but not too wise in making judgements and decisions in this fiasco. The show has just started and let's sit back and watched.

The Sound Of Silence.
I wish I could sing this song but unfortunately I'm not born to sing. But Barisan Nasional(BN) is singing this song loud and clear. The Bota clown or should I say, the prodigal son has returned after he defected and re-defected. After the initial defection, this clown was hurled abuses from the ruling coalition (BN). Now that he has returned, he's given a hero's welcome! He has been forgiven. Could this be true? Got money beres.
Keeping silent and not taking any displinary action on this Bota clown would make BN like a partner in crime. The rakyat would not be happy about that especially the rakyat from Perak. There's nothing to brag about, nothing to be proud of if it is true BN stoop so low to snatch 'pole position'. The rakyat can forgive but they cannot forget. BN might even get to taste their own medicine in the near future. Like the saying, tit for tat!
The ADUNs and MPs of BN know they are an indispensible lot today. BN need to sacrifice a lot to make them stay. There is a price to pay to make them stay. They must not stray at all cost! To lose POWER is to lose everything. But why worry? Got money beres!

Deal Or No Deal
No! No! I'm not talking about the game show shown on TV! I'm talking about the state assemblymen and state assemblywoman of Perak. They have done grave injustices to the Perak rakyat. The rakyat are taken for a rollercoaster ride. The four clowns are from Behrang, Changkat Jering, Jelapang and Bota state seats. The Bota clown is best known for his clowning in recent days. His ability to clown around from his circus to another and then back to his circus in less than two weeks really amazes the rakyat. What an act!
Do we, the rakyat need these clowns to be our wakil rakyat? The rakyat may not get the services expected from them. They are elected to make us laugh. Nothing more than that! At the end of their shows (at the next general election) let us give them a clapping they will never forget. Till then let's sit back and enjoy their clowning!

Dogs And Cats Anyone?
The clowns at Nilai Municipal Council are at it again! It was the dog last month and now the cat.Imposing licences on these feline is really doggone silly! However ridiculous it may be, a written approval must be needed from the neighbour before a licence is given to dog owners. But if the neighbour says otherwise, then it will be an obstacle to obtain a licence. But fear not, the council would act as the intermediary to get the approval. What if the neighbour is totally against that? Do you think money would come into play? Got money beres.
And if the neighbour is just a temporary tenant? How would the council handle this problem? It's much easier said than done! When the neighbour is a foreigner must we, the rakyat need their written approval first? This is OUR country! I hope the clowns at the council would do something more concrete and useful instead of worrying about cats and dogs!
What's next? The birds and the fishes?

Choosy? I Have To be.
You must know I'm a rakyat Malaysia and I have to be choosy when it comes to jobs. Pampered all these while from head to toe. I cannot just give it up! The advice by our Prime Minister recently would not be taken seriously by most of the rakyat. Economic downturn or recession the rakyat would still be choosy for jobs!
Ask the ordinary rakyat if they want to work in the construction or plantation sectors. Believe it or not there will be many many excuses. Most of us are not 'up to it'. We are very 'fragile'. Most of us want to work in a clean and conducive environment! In the electronic sector or in the factories most of the workers are female Malaysians. In fact most immigrants work only in the 'tough and harsh conditions' sectors. Very few work in the service sectors. Most of the young rakyat prefer the service sectors because the jobs are a bit easier and one can mingle around if you know what I mean. You're only young once.
We are the luckiest people in the world! Hardly anyone goes hungry. If you're poor the government will look after you. Don't you worry about education or medical bills
the government will see to that. Even the bills of immigrants are paid or subsidised
by the government. Everyone just loves Malaysia! Got money beres.
