Cowboys And Red Indians.

A few days ago, the 'cowboys and 'red' Indians' of Sungai Tua, Ulu Yam, along with their herds, were making their way in search of a 'new frontier'- the Selangor State secretariat building in Shah Alam. They were not looking for meadows to provide grazing for their cattles but went there to graze the Selangor Pakatan-led government. Sadly, they were not any better than those from Section 23 or those from the 'High Chaparal Ranch'. It was even sadder if their bereft actions were at the behest of another political party.

Throwing tantrums like little children,went berserk and besieged the Selangor Pakatan-led government just because they were left 'in the wilderness' would complicate matters even more. They failed to make good their ambush because they did not have all the ammunition they needed in the first place! Their unconciliatory actions were carried out with almost indecent haste! Their lack of equable temperament was their defeat. It would be a high price to pay! Would they face the hangman eventually?

An A For Alonso.

Sometimes, to save one's own skin, one has to lie through one's teeth. Last year's 'Singapore Scandal' that was exposed recently by Witness X was widely accepted as the greatest sporting scandal. The fate of Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds of Renault were sealed.

The only way to escape the hangman's noose was to feign innocence. Alonso did just that! A brilliant manoeuvre. But many questions still remained unanswered. He took the easiest way out. Deny everything from the beginning to the end. He knew he would lose everything if he was found guilty. Can we blame him? After all, he is human. Surely he must have known something was not 'on track' when he was asked to pit on lap 12. He chose to remain silent. Silence is golden. He adroitly avoided answering questions when pressed by the media.

I'm sure the team of Alonso must have worked out a strategy to beat the competition prior to the race. Don't tell me nothing had been planned at all! When things do not work out the way you want them to , what would you do? Beats me. Of course the stakes are high and with the adrenalin flowing, the heart rate increases and sometimes one reacts differently or even foolishly.

Remember the Hungarian GP 2007 where Lewis Hamilton was his teammate? They were with McLaren. LH was a thorn in his side! They openly show their dislike for each other. A professional racer with atypical behaviour. Crashgate. Spygate. What's next?

Royalties And Foodbrawl.

Once again we are in the limelight. Negeri Sembilan versus Johore. No! It's not a football match. It's a royal match. It's akin to an EGM. The match can take place only when it is absolutely necessary. It is a rarity because this match must be played in a court.

And in Kelantan, a prince is suing two palace officials for failing to keep their mouths shut. What would the score be at the end of the game? Would there be red cards or red faces? Meanwhile, how prepared are the Indonesian team of Manohara when they face the Kelantanese? Would there be a rematch? How would the game end when both sides start to burn each others flags?

Next is the 'foodbrawl' match. The Tourism minister started the brawl rolling. Now, the Malaccans, Penangnites and even Singaporeans are making a beeline to lay claim to several dishes. Who gets the royalties?

Char kuay teow anyone? No! It's not Penang's. It was my late grandmother's recipe. She was from Sumatra.

A Fool-load Of Pick-ups.

Captured this fool-load on the first day of Hari Raya at Fraser's Hill.

Loosen The Noose.

Dear Home Minister, the approval of citizenship must be a conscientous effort from you. There must not be any ulterior motive. For years to come, many 'blue ic(s)' would remember you as a HM with a heart. You have given the 'stateless' a new lease of life. A new hope. A new sense of belonging.

But be forewarned. There are still a portion of rakyat who are totally blind, totally against the administrators because the noose is tight around their necks. They are suffocating! Loosen the noose and let them breathe! The previous HM had a brain without any grey matters. His arrogrance and his stupidity led to his own downfall. He had that coming. He was too blind to see.

Presently, there is a drift in the relationship amongst the races. This comes about because we simply do not want to understand each other. Of late, we've taken many things for granted. The racists, the religious bigots are the very people who jeopardized the harmony and the goodwill that existed. Let us stop the drift and mend the rift. Let us do that this Hari Raya. The bond of friendship must be tightened not the noose!

Amber Alert. Will It Work?

The intention is good. When a child goes missing or is kidnapped, the whole nation would be 'mobilised'. How far as to its success is anybody's guess. Sad to say, sometimes reality sucks! For many, with a lackadaisical approach and a couldn't be bothered attitude, this alert system would be 'in cold storage' in no time.

Let's look at cases of children gone missing, kidnapped or even murdered throughout the years. How did that come about and how many cases were solved? Are parents to be blamed? Yes. Some parents failed as parents. They failed to educate their children to be street-smart. There's hardly any urgency on the part of most parents. As long as parents believe in fairy tales, crimes involving children would continue to escalate. This is the stark reality of life.

Many parents failed to second-guess the outcome of their blatant disregard for the safety of their children. Parents need the second sight! They need to be on the lookout at all times. Parents need to monitor the whereabouts of their children. All these precautions must be second nature. Never compromise when it comes to the safety of your children!

Got To Hide My Photographs!

Was that a tit for tat? You do unto me, I do unto you! Exactly, what was that clown trying to prove? What a load of bollocks! Immediate action must be taken to stamp out this despicable behaviour. It was a clear attempt by this clown to relate to the behaviour of our ancestors in the distant past. An atavistic urge! The law of the caveman.

Many would not be too happy about this unfortunate incident. There'll be more 'side-shows' in the days to come. Someone is about to stir-up the hornet's nest. I find this racist idea to shoe garland Tun Mahathir's photograph very repulsive, very disturbing.

We must rethink radically our priorities and resurrect the old customs and traditions of our older generations where they mixed and mingled freely with all races in a spirit of good neighbourliness.

MIC (Minority In Control).

After the MIC party elections, it was still the same sad tale! The mic was still a force to be reckon with! Many clamoured for change. Can the caterpillars change into butterflies or remained caterpillars? Can the metamorphosis takes place eventually? It still remains an open question.

The almost certain thing is heads would definitely rolled. When one plays with fire,be ready to get burnt. I believe one particular blogger who had been very unhappy with the mic would have her blood boiled over! Anyway, let's not play judge, jury and executioner. The mic were democratically elected and there's nothing one can do about that. There will surely be a change in the political landscape.

For those who were a little too ambitious, you had played your cards wrong. Your visionary insights came to nought when you lost.

Got To Hide. Not Again!

It's heartbreaking to read about the plight of the Penans living in the interior jungles of Sarawak. Penan girls, as young as ten, abused, molested and raped by the timber workers. Such disgusting acts of shame!

Well, I'll be damned: if no action or investigation is taken by the Sarawak police. Has the Sarawak CID chief, SAC II, Huzir Mohammed got any brains at all? The sexual crimes had indeed happened and this clown wants the Women, Family and Community Development Ministry to furnish him the detailed information before the police spring into action. What absurdity! What nonsense! What kind of police chief do we have here? This clown must have seen too many of the 'Mission Impossible' films. Let the IGP do the 'Mission Possible'. Demote or sack him!

Just go ahead and do your part. You are a disgrace to the entire police force with your abysmal ignorance. You should know better!

The plight of the Penans had been highlighted. What about the Orang Asli? The three main groups, the Negrito, Senoi and the Proto-Malays? Are they facing the same threat as the Penans? Starprobe, what are you waiting for?

Got To Hide, Again.

The confrontational days between Indonesia and Malaysia was from 1962-1966. The undeclared war was Indonesia's attempts to destabilise the new Federation of Malaysia. Indonesia ended the confrontation because of their domestic problems. A treaty of Peace was signed on August 11,1966 .

The question now is, would there be another confrontation? This looming threat cannot be taken lightly. The Indonesians were very vocal and their actions, frightening. Their jihad, if one can call that, is very real. Unlike the jihad waged on our Indian neighbours by a group of clowns of section 23 in Shah Alam! They had openly accused Malaysia of 'trespassing' on their customs and cultures. I hope common sense prevail during this testing situation. We cannot blame entirely the Indonesians for being testy. We might have taken too much for granted!

We need to retrace our steps and find amiacable solutions to these problems that had stood out like a sore thumb. Let's restore amiacable relations again! We need them as much as they need us. Simple as that!

It goes beyond the confines of human knowledge if we continue with our conflicts. Nothing good would come out of it. Civilized people do not have judgemental attitudes. Civilized people do not pass judgement by the roadside. Civilized people sit down to talk and solve. Are we there yet?

Got To Hide.

The last two weeks were long weeks for many of us. We vented our unhappiness over the violent outburst and demonic actions by some residents of section 23 in Shah Alam. It's a great relief now that the authorities have finally 'got back' their senses! The Attorney-General wants those protesters hauled to court. A good move, albeit a little late. Some were arrested early and I believe some went into hiding. Got to hide, for now.

The authorities are fully aware that the rakyat are watching. The world is watching. So, authorities, you better watch out! The mistake the authorities did was glaringly obvious. They failed to douse the fire when it was small. It would be tough to put out a raging inferno now!

Let us all be patient and wait for the court to decide on their fate. It is absolutely imperative that the court must be fair and impartial and the judge should be completely without bias!

Still Got The Fireworks.

The fireworks were still there! This racially-inclined, demented and hostile mob with their 'mob rule' behaviour must be mopped-up once and for all! Must we all submit to their tyrannical ways? They are nothing but a bunch of oppressors and tyrants! Prompt action must be taken and the guilty parties must have their heads chopped off, not the cow!

All peace-loving rakyat must resent their histrionic behaviour. Put an end to their bluster! Their barbaric behaviour must not be tolerated any longer! Their actions were a real kick in the teeth for all of us. The acrimonious meeting with the Mentri Besar of Selangor ended in a deadlock. How long would these carry on? Mounting tension and mutual distrust is the order of the day. The respect and trust we had for each other is, sadly, hanging in a precarious balance. Has fate predestined us to 'go our separate ways', or bind us as one? Let's not prattle away, instead, let's mend the rift. There is still hope.

IGP. Got An Extension For What?

This is the second extension for the IGP. Frankly, he doesn't deserve this at all! Sadly, the Home Minister has not find the right candidate to replace him. Can a docile IGP bring out the best in the force? He has the absolute dominance in the force and his hands are tied. He's always shooting his mouth off, telling of his success in reducing crimes, fighting corruption in the force. How far has he succeeded is still a big question mark! It's debatable whether or not his reforms have improved conditions.

The rise in crimes, the racially-inclined incidents, a vociferous group of demonstrators, these are the problems to look out for! To solve them asap. The rakyat want to feel safe, to feel secure. Actions, if any, must be taken, fast and swift! Keep your jabbering low lest when you retire, retire with your honour intact.

Corruption is still rampant in the force. He knows it, the rakyat know it. Sitting behind the desk would not solve anything. Do not fail to live up to your principle, your expectations, the rakyat's expectations.

I Got MC.

It was regretful to hear the follies of the Kota Seputeh assemblyclown who was left off the hook for his two absences during the state assembly sittings! We've had a bellyful of his flimsy excuses! After deliberating for four hours, the EC chairclown concluded that the KS assemblyclown had not gone against section 51 of the State constitution. What bull!

This clown even had the cheek to pledge that he would turn over a new leaf. To pledge without batting an eyelid is as good as implying he had not done anything wrong. Again what bull! This clown was even grateful to be given a second chance because he had been a 'big, bad boy' all along. Whether to believe this clown or not, depends on a number or imponderables. His sincerity? His jiggery-pokery? The EC chairclown had failed miserably. He did not remove one of his clown from his circus! Moreover, one doesn't need to deliberate if the medical chits submitted were or were not 'bones of contention'. Instead, the EC chairclown chose to close one eye and shut the other!
