A bridge too far…or a bridge too much of a fancy??

Lo and behold the saga of the scenic over the straits of Johore is over.

The bridge that will link us with our economic rival, Singapore is not gonna be built.

“It was because the rakyat didn’t want it” says one Menteri Besar, who enjoys zapin rather than sitting in the office thinking of a way of how to elevate the lagging Malays in his own backyard.

“It was due to Singapore putting unrealistic claims such as sands and Malaysian airspace” said another Minister, from Kota Tinggi, Johor.

The same minister who said last year that the bridge will be built nonetheless regardless of what the Singaporeans wants, (even threatening to demolish the existing causeway just to coax the Singaporeans to agree).

“It wasn’t a popular rakyat decision, we listen to the rakyat” said another top Minister, who is currently lonely.

Oh rakyat…let your voices be known and heed your call, for your voices has been heard and heeded. Oh yes…the orgasm of being noticed is almost mind blowing.

But I beg to differ!!? This rakyat who pays good taxes be it income taxes, sales tax or road tax, really beg to differ.

My arguments?

1. After all the saga of building the bridge ended, does anyone knows what actually going on?

Why appoint the contractor and signed the agreement to build the bridge even before the Singapore government actually agrees on it?

On yes, it was mooted out in 1996, during the time of our last Prime Minister, everything was hunky dory and the Singapore did agree.

Did they? Did they sign any papers saying that they agree? Like the papers the Malaysian government signed with Singapore 30 years ago about the supply of processed water for a paltry 30 cents per litre?

Did they?

Guess you lots assume a lot huh? Like you assume I am not gonna pissed about the fuel hike and just rolled with the punches…

2. The contractors are smiling all the way to the bank!

Who are the directors behind the company being awarded with the job of building the bridge? Are they not disappointed with the news? Kenapa tak issue statements that they are incurring huge loss due to the cancellation! Why mum over this issue? I would have fight tooth and nails if my project were cancel on a grounds that I was not totally in control of?

Perhaps they are not angry and that is a BIG perhaps, is because they initially know that whether the project is a go ahead or not, they are making billions already.

If the bridge gets built, they already won on inflated prices, if the bridge gets cancelled; there is a provision in the contract that warrants a huge compensation.

Now, that is a business model I would like to have! Lebih baik tak jadi, makan duit atas angina saje…

3. Where is your consensus of this ”suara rakyat”?

This statement has been mooted out several times by various ministers. But on what grounds, where is your databases? What is your “r” value? What type of questionnaires used? Likert method perhaps? SPSS used to tabulate the score?

Did you participate in this survey? Or the minister can now reads minds?

I totally cannot accept that we are somehow being blame for this! Totally unacceptable?! You piled the crap and I got blame for the shit, which is totally fucked up la dude!

Back in 1996, were we the rakyat “consented on this also? I believe no…the Minister always know better than us. Suara rakyat….oh suara rakyat

May be some of you beginning to think, eleh kutu nie komplen boleh laaa…bagi la suggestion? I am no politician just a simple man. A simple man who tries to make ends meet through honest and legal business.

1. Survey are easy to do

It is so easy to set up a survey that is can costless. A website survey that is accessible to the general public can be set up practically free! SMS voting can also be done. If the public willing to part RM 0.50 to vote for Mawi, Marsya and Felix, why not vote for this?

Surely we Malaysian, especially Malays are not too fickle about issue like this? Or are they?

Web survey can easily tabulated and shown to the public. The participation can be limited a specific time, like 21 days. If it is a popular decisions, wouldn’t it be easier to force it through becoz the opposition would not a grain of ammunition to lambaste you with?

Alas…the flesh is weak as well as some minister brain.

2. Projects that involve billions need thorough planning.

Ini tidak, persetujuan belum dapat dari the other party, sudah “syok sendiri”. Appoint contractor dulu laa, buat pilling siap2 laa.., heboh satu Malaysia laa.

Did you know that not a single news was aired in Singapore about the bridge cancellation?! Are they not bothered, are they not concerned that their government were blamed?

Perhaps they know that Malaysians gemar Jom Heboh, so let them key poh!

3. How many bridges la chief?

May be many did not realized that we already have a second bridge linking Malaysia with Singapore at Gelang Patah. Over RM 2 billion were spent on that bridge, the usage is still below expectations and the payback period was expected to be over 30 years.

If I were the holding concession on bridge at Gelang Patah, I will be pissed that the second bridge is being built less than 8 years after my bridge is completed.

4. Who needs who?

I believe it is painful to say this especially when I am a Johorean myself, but Johor Bahru needs Singaporeans more than Singaporeans needs Malaysian.

They come in droves during weekends, spends millions of ringgit on grocery items and fuels, injecting our economy. Bettering the life in JB itself with better facilities, wider roads, hotel fully occupied and job for thousands of workers.

Most Malaysian goes to Singapore for jobs with better pay, better education and better healthcare.

So who needs who the most?!

I have run out of superlative in describing this funny scenario. I just wished our “beloved” minister would stop patronizing us once in a while…I am so covered with your bullshit that my mum beginning to think I work in a cow ranch in Rawang!

LIFESTYLES?

I have not been able to update my blog lately…honestly becoz I don't seem to have anything to write, be I becoz I am plain lazy or just a dry patch. Probably both …

Next two weeks my exams is coming up, got two papers on one day, man…when you are 18, you would think nothing of it…but when you are 30, that is a totally different story, though you understand the subject better as you grew older, your capacity to store it somewhat diminishes, it may not hold true to all people but majority do face this problem.

It is no excuse but just another way of telling yourselves, you need to try harder and smarter. Lots has been going on since I last update the blog, I have moved to a new office, a place i can finally called my own , the rent is okay and the parking is free, so go figure…slightly further from my house but closer to KL.

Business has been quite good but sporadic in nature, I got things align for June upwards but none currently, sounds ironic isn’t it but that the nature of my business is just that way. In the meantime, you need to do lots of proposal, drawings to appease your clients and do lots of presentation, you do your best, you win some and lose some.

I haven’t been the easiest person to deal with, I am no way by the book person but I do want to know what and who I am dealing with, old school business may irked with the way I handled things but I am what I am.

For me, in business …relationship is important, I may have to quote my price slightly higher in order to let my friends in it…there are other malay, who do not believe in this…they are pure businessman with a motto that says “ I deal with an end user and that’s about it…”

I do not favour that view for I am believe that good friends are hard to get…whilst enemy are aplenty. Just try this…even in your many years of being surrounded by friends, just how many can just leave everything just to aid you in your times of need? If you do have it…keep it close! It is easier to make enemy than make a good friend…if making friends is easy, might as well…we walk up to a particular guy at a mamak joint and ask him/her “ Beb…kita jadik member boleh?”

“ Err…err..awak okay ke?? “ or “ Apahal lu beb?” will be the most possible outcome, but just try walk to the same guy, and kick him/her at the back…there you go, an instant enemy, a foe!

Entah..i value friendship even in business. There are pitfalls though for there is no foolproof plan…but you do what you need to do.

Till then…good day and good luck!

Kereta nasional punca kemalangan meningkat?

Di petik dari laman web pencinta Malaysia

Jeremy Clarkson memusnahkan Kelisa, sila rujuk video
berikut: -

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tf3Rw8VW3aE

Mungkin perasaan rakyat Malaysia yang menonton video tersebut, akan berasa marah, apabila media UK terang-terangan menghina kereta buatan Malaysia, yakni Perodua Kelisa yang semakin hari semakin hebat jualannya. Sudah lah ia diketuk, di gantung dan akhirnya diletupkan. Beliau juga berkata, bahawa barangan buatan Malaysia dan Korea tidak mementingkan keselamatan kecuali keuntungan jualan semata-mata.

Mungkin juga dengan menontonnya, jika boleh tersedar bahawa, selama ini kita tidak pernah mempersoalkan tentang kualiti kenderaan yang kita gunakan. Sejak Proton dan Perodua dihasilkan, kemalangan yang meragut nyawa semakin meningkat. Kita setuju bahawa kita tidak pernah mengambil berat dan mengikuti statistik kematian sebelum dan selepas kereta tempatan
dihasilkan. Ramai keluarga yang kehilangan ahli mereka akibat memandu kenderaan kebanggaan Malaysia. Suasa riang hari raya yang patut kita rasakan segera bertukar sedih dan berkumpul dihospital dan rumah mayat adalah pengalaman yang cukup tidak enak ketika musim perayaan.

TEKTIK KERAJAAN DAN PENGELUAR

Peringatan melalui iklan sering dipertontonkan ketika bermulanya musim perayaan. Pelbagai iklan dihasilkan oleh, syarikat Proton, Perodua dan syarikat minyak nasional Petronas. Sehari hampir 50 kali iklan yang sama akan disiarkan. Malah kerajaan dan artis akan memberi pesan yang sama kepada masyarakat yang akan pulang ke kampung. Namun akibat keghairahan, kita tidak dapat menjanjikan keselamatan, walaupun kita memandu secara berhemah.

Pecah juga lah kepala para menteri dan polis untuk memikirkan bagaimana langkah yang terpaksa diambil untuk mengelak dan mengurangkan kemalangan. Tektik terbaru adalah menyediakan minuman kopi di stesyen-stesyen minyak. Langkah yang lain ialah meletakkan pegawai polis di sepanjang jalan dan mengambil tindakan saman sekiranya berlaku pemanduan yang berbahaya yang dilakukan oleh pemandu dan pengguna jalanraya.

Tetapi sedarkah kita bahawa kerajaan dan pihak pengeluar kenderaan tidak pernah memikirkan untuk menambah, memajukan ciri-ciri keselamatan kecuali banyak memikirkan akan bagaiman untuk menaikkan jualan mereka sahaja.

HASILNYA

Media, kerajaan dan pengusaha kenderaan, sebenarnya asyik melekakan kita. Sedarkah kita bahawa kita juga asyik menyalahkan saudara kita atau mereka yang terlibat, jika kemalangan berlaku.

Pernah kah kita menyalahkan kerajaan kerana tidak menyediakan kemudahan yang sepatutnya dan pernahkah kita salahkan pada pengusaha kenderaan kerana tidak menyediakan ciri-ciri keselamatan yang mencukupi?

Kesilapan dan kemalangan boleh berlaku dimana-mana. Dan kemalangan tidak tentu masa dan ketikanya. Kita tidak pernah cuba menanganinya secara serius, selain menyalahkan pengguna jalanraya. Seolah-olah tiada pihak lain yang terbabit.

Minda dan pemikiran rakyat Malaysia sudah dikawal oleh sikap pemerintah dan pengeluar kereta tempatan yang asyik mementingkan wang hasil jualan kenderaan tanpa mengambil kira kematian yang terhasil akibat kebodohan ciri-ciri keselamatan kenderaan dan jalanraya.

Kesalahan yang dipertanggunjawabkan kepada rakyat adalah untuk menutup kesalahan pihak lain. Dari kegagalan RMK 8, kegagalan basmi dadah, kegagalan sistem pelajaran, peningkatan kadar jenayah, banjir, kerugian TNB dan sebagainya, jari telujuk menteri dan kerajaan, hanyalah menuding ke arah rakyat.

KERAJAAN YANG TIDAK PERNAH BERSALAH

Sepanjang kita hidup, kita tidak pernah sekali-kali berpeluang mendengar MAAF dilakukan oleh oleh Menteri dan kerajaan atas kesilapan mereka. Tetapi pastinya, mereka tidak pernah rasa bersalah dan beruntunglah Malaysia kerana mempunyai kerajaan BN yang 'PERFECT". Asyik-asyik salahkan rakyat dan asyik-asyik salahkan rakyat.

RAKYAT TIADA PILIHAN

Jika ketiadaan cukai import yang dikenakan kepada kereta luar Negara, sudah pasti jumlah penjualan kenderaan luar akan jauh lebih baik dari kenderaan tempatan. Tetapi malang kepada rakyat apabila cukai import yang tinggi, menyebabkan harga kenderaan dari luar Negara jauh lebih mahal dari kenderaan tempatan.

Namun begitu, kenderaan tempatan yang kononnya rendah harga, masih lagi tinggi dibandingkan dengan jumlah pendapatan rakyat Malaysia.

Rakyat tidak mempunyai pilihan. Dengan kualiti pengangkutan awam yang macam sial dan dek kerana ahli keluarga yang semakin ramai, rakyat terpaksa membeli kenderaan tempatan tanpa banyak soal. Maka duit dikumpul dan disimpan, hanya untuk membeli bukan kereta tetapi keranda. Keranda yang pada bila-bila boleh membawa maut.

Bukan sahaja ciri keselematan kenderaan tempatan sahaja yang longgar malah, kerosakan mungkin berlaku selepas kenderaan dibeli. Kekadang, sehinggakan pakar kenderaan jenama itu sendiri pun tidak boleh kenal pasti kerosakan yang dialami. Berbangga lah dengan kereta Nasional.

NASIHAT

Disini kita perlu lebih matang untuk memikirkan suatu yang baru. Sekiranya selepas ini berlaku kemalangan jiwa kepada kaum keluarga kita, kita perlu perihatin kepada kemungkinan tiada ciri-ciri keselamatan pada kenderaan yang kita beli atau keadaan jalan kita yang sememangnya tiada kualiti. Mungkin juga kekurangan tanda jalan dilokasi berbahaya.

Disebalik kesalahan hanya kepada pemandu, kenapa kita tidak libatkan pengusaha kenderaan, kerajaan dan siapa sahaja yang patut terlibat. Saman mereka asalkan ia berbaloi dengan sikap sambil lewa mereka.

Kerajaan selama ini tidak langsung mengambil berat akan keselamatan rakyat Malaysia dan kita terus-terusan membeli kenderaan buatan Malaysia. Kononnya "BELI LAH BARANGAN BUATAN MALAYSIA." Untuk kereta proton dan perodua, sudah lah tidak berkualiti, mahal pula harganya.

Apabila rakyat mempersoalkan kredibiliti kerajaan, masih ada pihak pro kerajaan yang menyangkal dan memarahi kita kerana masih tidak berterima kasih kepada kerajaan BN. Yang nyata kemajuan yang kita ada sekarang adalah jauh dari yang sepatutnya kia rasai kerana jumlah perbelanjaan kerajaan jauh lebih banyak dan banyak dari nya adalah untuk pembaziran
menteri-menteri.

Sebagai rakyat kita perlu sedar selain dari asyik dipersalahkan, nyawa kita juga tidak lebih dari RM0.30 kepada kerajaan. Nasiblah..

A cup of coffee

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said:
"If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones."

"While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress".

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups." "Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."

Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."

So don't let the cups drive you...enjoy the coffee instead.

Pak Lah...

Poem i receive via email...


Kepada Pak Lah, Perdana Menteri Malaysia Boleh.......Blah

Hari nie tah hari berapa Pak Lah jadi PM kami
Memang dari dulu kami sokong sampai lani
Tapi hari nie, buka mata, senak perut anak bini
Tengok Pak Lah habag minyak naik lagi

Memang kami tak tau pasai ekonomi
Yang tau semua Pak Lah ngan kroni
Tapi sampai bila nak jadi lagu nie
Dapat gaji habis tak berbaki

Pak Lah habag tak boleh buat apa
Nie semua ekonomi dunia
Kalau tak naik nanti dunia kata apa
Habis tu yang rakyat dok menderita, tak pa ka

Dulu Pak Lah kata nak jaga rakyat
Kunun Pak lah nak kerja sama sama dengan rakyat
Nie dok nampak macam nak telan kederat
Dok nampak kami yang nak melarat

Pak Lah kata masalah rakyat nak ambik berat
Kunun tak mau tengok rakyat hidup melarat
Tapi kalau macam nie punya sarat
Darah rakyat pun boleh sejat

Kerajaan ada kata rakyat manja subsidi
Kunun asyik kerajaan saja dok bagi
Sapa kata kami rakyat tak pernah bagi
Tu...yang lima tahun sekali tu....sapa bagi??

Tiap kali naik harga, dok banding sini sana
Hampa tengok, kat Thailand lagi mahai dari kita
Apa jenis depa punya kira
Awat tak ikut pulak Brunai punya harga

Brunai tak leh kira
depa punya minyak berlambak tak terkira
Awat, minyak Malaysia tak dak harga ka?
kalau tidak, tak kan jual minyak kita beli minyak depa

Ada Petronas pun tak leh buat apa
Ada duit sikit, dah nak mengada
Pi buat segala menara pagoda kembaq dua
Nak tunjuk, kami la kaya

Petronas kata kami tak tau apa
Kerajaan yang buat kira bicara
Kami ikut apa depa kata
Royalti jadi ehsan pun kami tak leh kata apa

Kunun dok habag petronas hak rakyat semua
Pakailah minyak petronas, nanti untung dapat kat kita
Nie, nak tanya la....tiap tahun untung beribu juta
Rakyat dapat apa ????? kudis buta....

Hari nie petrol naik, tahan la lagi
Tengok pulak apa cerita esok pagi
Habis ikan, ayam, cabai sampai ke cili
depa pun sama tumbas naik sekali

Nanti ada la menteri tolong bercakap
Sapa naik harga dia nak pi tangkap
Sampai bila la dia nie nak ubah sikap
Ingat yang dok meniaga kat market tu heran kot dia punya cakap

Pak Lah mau renung nasib kami
Kais hari nie makan untuk kemarin pagi
Anak kecik pun dok ada lagi
Boleh hidup ka kami lagu nie

Dah tak larat nak tanggung cukai
Sini cukai, sana cukai
Dari tanah sampai ke pintu punya ada cukai
Dah sampai masa kot Pak Lah kena guna akai

Jangan dok ingat rakyat macam Pak Lah
Gaji berpuluh ribu hidup tak susah
Ada anak pulak bisnes sebelah sebelah
Dapat tender pun tak payah susah susah

Kami rakyat bukan macam tu
Malah la nie pun dah ada rebus siput babi dgan batu
Sedih sungguh ohhhh negara ku
Biar tak merdeka terus pun tak la kalau lagu tu

Dah sampai masa Pak Lah ingat
Selesai masalah rakyat cepat cepat
Nanti kot rakyat naik meluat
satu undi pun Pak Lah tak dapat

Cukup la sampai di sini
Tobat dah...aku tak mengundi BN kali nie
Parti Barang Naik pulak kot jadi depa lani
Kot ada sapa nak Barang Naik lagi undi la depa lagi...


Yang Benar,
Rakyat yang semakin tak larat

Neither here nor there

It has been too bloody long since i last updated my blog

Not that i deliberately left it barren...i just had a lot on my minds now

For the past weeks, i have met some old friends who were quick to redeem themselves

It's okay...i am afterall wanted just a true friendship...than just kawan masa senang

Sometimes if you think about it, there may be a point in your life you began asking...

" i have help a lot of people.....will these people come to my aid when i needed them?"

i frowned and somehow felt the deepest sadness in my heart....

then i slowly realised...

It wasn't them who repay my kindness...

It is Allah, it always is.

The tale of two husbands

Need your opinion on this....

First Husband

The first husband married early in life at the ripe young age of 20 years old. He didn't get a good degree but a degree nonetheless. Being married, the thought of having family is heavy on his minds albeit knowing that it is a huge financial outlay.

Economic recession slaps him in his face...he couldn't get a job..his wife was luckily enoughto be drafted by one of the local univ. He searches but with a weak degree...he couldn't get far. He has to endure countless interview without success...broke and desperate, he becomes a salesman.

With a meagre of commission, he plow away until he was given a chance to work at one small company as an executive. He started well....get connected quickly and quickly rises through the ranks. However, knowing that a plain monthly salary wouldn't cut it on its own, he becomes a broker of sorts. Getting his day work done during the day and make deals at nite for his business.

After work, he forgo dinner at home in order to meet clients for his deals. It wasn't easy....his wife hardly see him anymore, he is tired most of the time and at the best possible moments, the wife announced she is pregnant.

He knew he need to act fast, accumulated all the money he could grab on for his family is getting bigger. Stress beginning to take toll....the small talk he uses to have becames arguments and living in a small apt. in ampang doesn't help.

By Allah wills, he succeeds in buying a house with his own money, paid half of it and moved in on his 26th birthday. His son is 1 years old...and the business is doing okay. But harden marriages started to crack...the wife batterred him as to why he is tired and hardly helps in the house.

Being pregnant with a secong child, doesn't help either. The wife complained about the smell of cigarettes he brings home (he doesn't smoke at home), the late nite he constantly come home and all the little things in the world.

Tired and frustrated, he wrote in an email to his wife that perhaps they should separated if she thinks she will be better off with another man. The wife thought it was over and referred the case to the local pejabat kadi.

He didn't meant to divorce her but the word is his email was construed as the final nail in the coffin. He was furious with his wife for referring the case straight to pejabat kadi...things gotten out of hands.

Soon all his and her family stepped in...the in-laws accused him of using his new found wealth as a mean to chase their poor daughter out, the parent of the man told him off for being a short sighted man.

However, things resolved amicably and they soon remarried but that incidents label him for life in the eyes of the people who knew him....it nearly broke him forever...but somehow he carry on.

Second Husband

He came from a family of farmers. He understand the word hard work for he has seen it with his own eyes.

He slowly work his way through schools, getting a fairly good result in SRP and SPM for the necessary enrollment to the public universities. Having manage to secure a place in UM, he studied hard to get a good degree.

It is at this time, he was introduced a girl that was somehow highly sought after by his peers. The girl is from a different facullty but he knew he has the advantage. Slowly he captures her heart with the smallest tinniest thing...silly for most men but highly romantic for the woman.

The girl being close to her family, begans to tell story of the boy. He was that...he was this. Of course, being conveyed a constant barrage of good news...make the parents eager to meet him. In fact, he didnt disappoint them...he was all smiley, very helpful, good with small talk, the rapport was good and all set for blissful marriage.

Soon both of them graduated, the girl secured a job at a prestigous accounting firm and the boy at a local college as a tutor. They were engaged in less than six months after graduation. The boy was infact is heavily influenced by his mother. His mother was in fact the bearing in his life..

The big moments came...in a matter of week, they are going to get married. The whole family was excited because he was afterall, the ever smilling, ever helpful, son in law. However, exactly a week before the marriage itself, he called the girl to called his marriage to her..perhaps due to cold feet or perhaps influnced from his mother, nobody knows....but the girl salvaged the situation.

They got married nonetheless, rent a nice apt. in cheras and started their marriage life. Little that the girl know that the husband is a mere facade of the man she thought he is. Yes he work hard at work but he sleeps immediately after work. He always favour his mother over everything.

Things make worse when the wife got promoted faster through the ranks...she earns more than the husband. The late arrival of a child also put toll on the marriage. Being sligthly overweight, he felt out of place and out of sorts...

By Allah's will, they were given their first child after 2 years of marriage, it started off well....but as the child grows up..he felt even more out place. Being over looked for promotion, he felt even more frustrated. He started smoking in his house dur to frustration much to the frustartion of his wife. He refuse to take care of his child when his wife is late from work citing tiredness and busy with his schoolwork.

He is current doing his masters to further his fledging career but this has place a heavier burden on him. The schoolwork and chores at home make it difficult to handle. The wife arrive late from work usually at 8 pm, need to care for the children and cook for him at the same time. He is adamant that his wife cooks for him, no substitute allowed!

Finally he snapped, after a heated argument with his wife over the caring of the child, he slapped the wife so hard that blank out his wife momentarily. Blood came splurting out from the mouth as to demonstrate the power of his hands.

The child cried profusely and after the wife regained consciousness, ran away for refuge in her sister house and later when home to tell off her parents. The in law was furious as expected but discussion take place to calm things down.

Luckily, they work on their marriages and reconciliate but he stills refuse to care for the child if the wife came late from work or whenever he is free citing busy work schedules. He still smoke in the house and continue to favour his mother to the point that the wife just give up mending his ways...



The ONE MILLION DOLLAR Question??

In both of the cases, who is even more irresponsible??

Who is even more melampau??

Based on the story told, who would you sided??

Saje nak you all punya pendapat...bear in mind, that both husbands fulfill their end of their marriages in a general sense by providing a house, a car and sexually active.

Time...and its relativity

It is somehow baffling...

Time usually flies when you are enjoying yourselves.

But man, do time drag when you are in difficulties or bored.

The last 8 months since i left the corporate world to venture on my own, time flies....the business has taken me to Penang and JB. Long hours at some high rise corporate offices.

But as always, in January...business is usually slow. Govt. department haven't get their warrants yet...private institution are busy balancing their books. Waiting for your long due payments is also a pain ...a very painful pain!

I don't know what i am ranting or babbling about....

Perhaps the pain of being beaten by Man Utd in injury time has really gotten into me. God damn Rio Ferdinand!!!!

STATISTICS : KENAPA AKU LETIH BEKERJA??

It's a bit old but still funny la kan...



KENAPA AKU LETIH BEKERJA?

Selama beberapa tahun aku telah merungut kerana kurang tidur dan terlalu banyak tekanan dalam hidup, akan tetapi sekarang kini aku tahu kenapa ianya berlaku (the real reason) :

Aku keletihan kerana terlebih kerja... nak tau kenapa? Di bawah ini aku akan tunjukkan kenapa aku mempunyai beban kerja yang lebih dan ianya adalah benar dan bukan rekaan aku :

Populasi penduduk Malaysia sekarang adalah 23 juta orang.
1.7 juta darinya sudah bersara.
Jadi tinggal 21.3 juta orang.

1.3 juta pula adalah golongan kanak2 bawah 6 tahun.
Jadi tinggal 20 juta orang.

Dari 20 juta ini, 7 juta masih belajar (tadika, sekolah, kolej,Universiti dll).
Jadi tinggal 13 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Dari 13 juta ini, 5 juta orang adalah pekerja kerajaan yang pergi kerja tapi tak buat kerja.
Jadi tinggal 8 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Tolak 3 juta orang yang duduk dalam hutan (tentera darat) pasal diorang nie nak kerja macam mana... tinggal dalam hutan.
Dah tinggal 5 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja....

Dari jumlah itu, tolak 2.7 juta orang yang menganggur dan tak der kerja, surirumah, pekerja yang kena VSS, orang2 tua, fresh university student, kena buang kerja dll).
Tinggallah 2.3 juta orang yang boleh buat kerja.

Dari jumlah ini, sebanyak 1,215,512 orang dilaporkan sakit dan kini berada di dalam hospital di seluruh Malaysia (tak kiralah hospital swasta ke atau hospital kerajaan dan ini termasuklah hospital gila).
Dah tinggal 1,084,488 orang yang boleh buat kerja....

Sekarang ini mengikut bancian terkini, terdapat 1,084,486 orang di dalam penjara dan Pusat Serenti di seluruh negara.
Jadi dah tinggal 2 orang yang boleh buat kerja...

Dan 2 orang itu adalah engkau dan aku...

Dari dua orang ini... engkau SEKARANG INI masih duduk depan komputer, main internet, main games, reading jokes, membaca email, main chat dan tak buat kerja langsung... jadi tinggallah Aku sorang yang buat kerja dalam Malaysia nie...

Mana aku tak letih!!

Jadi sedarlah skit.... dahhhh..!!! pi buat kerja!!!

P/S : Semua statistik di atas boleh dirujuk kesahihannya di Pusat2 Bancian, Kementerian Kesihatan, Kementerian Pertahanan, Jabatan Tenaga Raya, Kementerian Pendidikan dan Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat.

Takkan nak rujuk itu pun nak kena suruh aku buat jugak

3 Words - simple but somehow difficult to say that often..

Just 3 Words


There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships.
Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words.
When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new
friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that
have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

1. Let me help
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they
do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts
and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that
you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship.
And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another
person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were
adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This
applies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply
and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation
tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how
important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from
your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication
when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm
wrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you
normally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you,
will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously
damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can
open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the
opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the
other person.

6. Please forgive me
Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would
admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to
faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that
he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is
wiser today than he was yesterday.

7. I thank you.
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the
companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily
courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for
their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose
circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude
of gratitude.

8. Count on me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential
ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds
people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and
true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you
can count on me."

9. I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a
sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from
home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there."
Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When
we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and
us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally
and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10. Go for it
We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to
your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far
out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are
unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow
their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone
that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs.
The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse,
your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little
words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling
is gone.

MAS and ITS LOSSES

Lo and behold, now everybody is talking about MAS and the amount of losses it makes in the last financial year alone. Mind you, when you are a National Air Carrier and have a financial losses amounted to RM384 million, you are bound to make a lot of ATTENTION.

What irked me so much is the way it is being discussed. All the brouhaha about the purchase of paintings valued over RM 1.55M is for me is dumbfounded and somehow missing the point altogether.

Okay lets put two and two together…MAS is losing RM 384 milion and that purchase of paintings doesn’t actually balance the books la friend. Even when MAS sold the painting that wouldn’t make any difference. The trouble is deeper but none of the “OUR” appointed minister are willing to talk about it because they probably part of the problem. In fact, probably that is the root of the problem!

Most GLCs be it Telekom Malaysia, TNB, Proton & MAS, the procurement methods is not transparent. Why? Politicians intervene as they wanted the slice of the pie themselves. How the hell do you know? I was a procurement officer at one of these GLCs. Another buddy of mine works with another and ex-boss works with another but the story is the same.

When a big tender is up, there are bounds to be information leaks. While the upper management is talking about information secrecy and need to keep tight lip about it, they themselves will dine and wine when their selected vendors at karaoke bars or golf clubs.

These vendors are usually helmed by some Datuk or Tan Sri or even Persatuan Peniaga Pulau Pinang or Perlis to make their presence felt and the political powers to boot. Monies will be thrown and mention and commission will be mooted.

When the tenders are evaluated, you are bound to see that normally even the lowest price offered will not win the tenders! Why?? because the company offered the lowest price is not the Political company. The evaluation committee usually helmed by the top management in these GLCs that have dine with the vendors will used criteria such as experiences, high capital amount, and the ability to deliver to swing the tenders to the favoured vendors.

I know some of you will say this is normal …but look at the bigger picture, if a simple meals offered in a flight can cost triple the amount than its nearest competitor, what does that tell you? In my own personal experiences, there have been too many instances where the cheapest offered good with the same specs., sama capability and sama distributor tak menang tender kerana pelbagai alasan pihak atasan. Company yg ada political power juga menang biarpun harganya mahal lebih RM 250 per unit.

Mungkin ada yang berkata, ala lu kecoh…RM 250 aje, asal dia deliver cukup…okay, tapi RM 250 seunit for a delivery of 1500 unit, tak jadik RM 375,000.00 mahal dari the lowest quotation??

Ini baru satu comparison, banyak lagi …in fact terlalu banyak jika hendak dinyatakan dalam satu entry ini tapi hakikatnya tetap nyata, penyalahgunaan kuasa oleh sesetengah pihak especially those, who have the necessary cable.

Minister sendiri juga bersalah kerana dengan menggunakan pangkat Datuk dan Tan Si mereka, mereka buka company, mereka jadik chairman company sana sini, dan melalui ini juga mereka menggunakan cabme mereka utk masuk tender2 besar mahupun kecil.

Only in Malaysia and in the world itself, the government party is also one of the richest parties in the world. Because elsewhere, no minister is allowed to do business or associated themselves to one. They are forbidden to do so because it clouded their judgment and reaons.

This, in my personal opinion, is the main reason why MAS have such a heavy losses and Proton today announced a lost of RM 150M, what does this tell you? Mismanagement or just a simple fact that the business is not allowed to run properly as it should??

MAS and its GLCs need not change its MD or CEO every so often because the problem is not with one person, the root of all this evil is the culture or ways we do business in Malaysia where those who are backed by Political powers will always triumphed over those who are the really the genuine article.

Think hard about this because afterall, it is your taxes money that allowed some of these Datuk to drive their brand new Mercedez or BMWs. You pay for the car you never get to drive!!

P/S now, everybody forget about the AP issue altogether.....typical Malaysian eh??

POLICE and ITS State

All the brouhaha over the squatting incident in a police cell in Petaling Jaya has caused awkward moments and embarrassment for the police.

The alleged “Chinese National” was sought after and come forward to present their stories. Heads are bound to roll….and many minister will lose sleep over it. Azmi Khalid flew to China on a PR exercise to exorcise the ghost of this incident.

Police were quick to deny that retaliation will take place. An independent inquiry were initiated and many Malaysians especially Chinese were up in arms over the treatments given to their kin mans.

I personally was not too engrossed over it because as always we Malaysian always make a hill out of a mole. Yes whatever the police did in jail cell I do not condone..i had my grievances over their service but did you know that squatting is a standard police procedure to see whether the woman hid any drug substances in her vagina??

Hey don’t look at me that way dude because it has been proven and well documented. The uproar was caused by Theresa Kok, DAP member of Parliament saying that this is no way to treat a Chinese tourist.

Lo and behold, the “ Chinese National” turns out to be a Malay afterall.

So apa nak cakap sekarang? Dulu duk kecoh kata police mistreat chinese national laa, police brutality laa, kena paper depan suratkhabar kerana memalukan pelancong laa, rupa2nya org melayu yg kena ketuk ketampi.

So claim Azmi Khalid pie China melutut depan Chinese government officials tu sapa nak bayar? Mudahnya kita tunduk dengan org lain semata2 kita takut org benci kita, takut org tak melabur negara kita, takut org tak melancong negara kita, takut org hentam kita di international media, takut…takut.

Cuba kita anjakkan paradigma kita sedikit….Amerika Syarikat serang Afghanistan tanpa segan silu, serang Iraq tanpa kelulusan PBB, hina rakyat Iraq dengan bogelkan tawanan di Kem Abu Gharib.

Ade kita nampak George Bush buat lawatan PR ke Iraq memohon maaf kepada Hamid Kazrai? Ader kita nampak Donald Rumsfield pergi ke PBB membuat kenyataan bahawa mereka memohon maaf, berjuta maaf ??

Well what they say was it was an isolated incident and they do not condone it.

Basically, it is kinna saying that we make mistake ..but so what? What the fuck are you going to do? You hate us but that is nothing new…do your worst laa…we US do give a damn!!!!!

Now that is the kind of attitude that will send shivers do anyone spine. Tak payah US laa…Myanmar tahan Aung San Su Kyi dekat 10 tahun dah, manage Myanmar thru dictatorship….tak kisah la Asean kata apa pun…mampus laa korang semua.

Ini juga bermakna mereka adalah org yang benar2 merdeka! They are no longer bounded by the fear that we cannot stand alone, the fear that others will hate us, the fear that we cannot go far without your assistance.

In fact, we are still being colonize, not by foreign powers but by our own fears. The fact that the PM makes a hasty comments also didn’t appeal much to me.

Since we got an independent inquiry, Pak Lah should has said “ I cannot comments much, not until the independent reports from the inquiry comes out”.

Perhaps the lonely nights has taken the toll on him….

Well, your daughter is a member of Sisters in Islam, a group which fight for woman equality above anything else including Al-Quran and Hadiths. A group, believe that woman can and should be an imam during Friday prayer.

You know what sad about it, while they say they are sisters in Islam and all, the majority tak pakai tudung. Mungkin ini personal tapi itu menunjukkan awak baca kitab tak habis. So macamana nak ajar org lain pasal Islam? Pie la mabuk…

Tapi personally, I believe that the Police should charge Theresa Kok for making a false accusation against the police and the government. Since it was a Malay woman, let UMNO fight amongst themselves.

You should be charge for creating unrest and unnecessary ripples in bilateral relationships between Malaysian and China. Perhaps since you like them so much, may be you should migrate there.

Pardon me, I am just quoting Datuk Noh Omar which says something along the lines…heh..heh..heh

Far and between

Been neglecting my blog for quite some time now….

Not becoz I wanted to…but damn too tired to do anything about it.

A lot has been happening…one of my friend got married, so good luck !

One of my ex-office colleague has passed away due to asthma.

My brother got married again after his painful divorce three years ago and…

I still yet to complete my project at Wisma Genting. Things sometimes move slowly when you lack the necessary funds.

In business, the moment you kinna missed the payment from your paymaster is very painful for the business.

I am not destitute yet but the worries takes away your peaceful, you heart pounding non-stop, you are unsure about what lies….many bad thoughts attacked your mind.

I know that everything will be fine in due time but in the meantime, only god knows laa..

Well you know what cannot destroy you…can only give you countless headache and prone to suicidal behaviour..muahahhah

DOUBLE STANDARD

I read interesting on the ongoing saga on Mr Nguyen impending date with the gallows in Singapore. Mr Nguyen was sentenced to death by hanging in a Singapore court for trying to smuggle 400 gram of heroin from Vietnam via Singapore.

Being an Australian, it bound to be an international crisis.

So one wise minister from Australia, who happen to be the Foreign Minister , said “ Singapore should not hang Mr Nguyen! Any first world country would have forgo death penalties because it is uncivilized”

He also said the same thing when we hang two Australian for the same offence back in the late 90s.

Somehow, I am amused by all these statements la.

Australian have this unshakeable believe that everyone of their citizen is a model citizen. Leslie Michelle, who has just been release from a Bali prison was also given superior treatment. She was acquitted on drug offences as well.

I donno la…first, the statement that any first world country should forgo death penalty is totally oxymoron. US obviously a first world country( a term to divide used by the so called “ wise man”) still practices death penalty. Takkan la tak pernah tengok “ Dead Man walking”. Texas still have death penalty….George Bush is from Texas ..so he must have decided “ well, I executed all these criminals legally in Texas…why not I continue the good work in Afghanistan and Iraq?”

Kalau ader Australian citizen arrested for any crimes in any Asian countries, Australian government is bound to make waves. This is a nation build by criminals from Great Britain and castaways from their home land. That fact alone is somehow ironic because they believe that every citizen of theirs is goody two shoes defies logic for me. Isn’t there a saying that what goes around…comes around. Or Once a thief…forever a thief?

Haiya …double standard laa…we have no qualms in having Malaysian committing high tech fraud in Austrakia. That Chinese guy amassed almost AUSD 1.8 million cheating banks and casinos. Well, you go dude!! At least we Malaysian know that in true spirit of Malaysia Boleh, we can be world beaters if we focus.

So…take it on a chin la aussies! Tak payah guna media to create sympathy to any of your citizen that happen to commit a crime. He did it so face the consequences laa.

Work and more work

I have been too busy lately.

But being self employed I should count that as blessing rather than a curse.

Yesterday was a long day at a site…from 11am to 2am the next day.

I remember one of closest friend once asked me as to why I choose to work in this line. I used to have my own room , a good perk and should I continue selling my soul to the devil and forgo my own principle, I should be earning a whooper of a salary.

But then again, I have to wade the traffic every morning just to clock 8 am every morning, smile when I don’t wanna to….it is too much of a job than a career. A lot of people often confuse the term “job” as similar to a “career”. A job is something you have to do, forcing yourself to do it….because there is no alternative. A career is something you love and looking forward to it…..totally reverse compared to a job.

That’s why the term married to a job is totally different as to committed to a career.

Well, I have yet to complained for I choose this path but the ability to wake up at 10 am in the morning and no qualm of staying awake to watch the current European Champion Liverpool played at 3.30 am, is priceless!

Mind you, I am in no way propagating that working on your own is better, this path is a very hard path. No security…no guarantee. Even if you are back with a million ringgit, if you don’t have a solid business plan….you are 90% bound to fail.

On the other hand, if you have a good job that pays well, happy with the environment …carry on. If you have a budding career and the ability to reach the apex of an organization….soldier on!!

But do so ethically and on merit….in your working life and social life.

Because what goes around…comes around. So be careful…..

HARI RAYA

It is almost here…just a matter of days rather than weeks.

Hari Raya Aidilfitri is just less than a week away.

Mawi is selling all sorts of things, from Canon camera, Proton cars to kuih gelora Mawi. I remember once people said Siti Nurhaliza was over exposed but this Mawi guy, is super exposed la friend but that is a story for another day.

I made mistake in my life, I made terrible things and actions that I still regretted. I know some things shouldn’t have been said or done but it happens.

No excuses but I do seek forgiveness.

I don’t know about you guys but Raya is somehow special.

A day we seek forgiveness from our parents, our partner, our siblings, and kids. To those who has lost their parents, I can understand their sense of lost. To Abdullah Badawi, this will also be a tough time for him.

But spare a thought to those in Pakistan and Afghanistan, who lost their who family in a earthquake, those in Aceh who still waiting for the donation money that never arrive. Mana perginya duit donation Aceh yg berjuta2 dahulu?

Bayarlah zakat fitrah bagi tanggungan kita….

Kerjalah sembahyang Hari Raya dan ziarahilah pusara saudara mara.

Pandulah dengan berhati-hati..jika belum jejak 120 km sejam jangan putus asa sehingga anda putus nyawa! Malaysia have many potential F1 drivers.

To all of you, I seek forgiveness and mengucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI kepada semua dan MAAF ZAHIR BATIN!!

See you in later!!

SAMY VELLU = THE VILLAGE ..........???

At last, he managed to top it all.

The recent statement issued by the MIC leader that “ Brides is like a new toilet, initially you used it often, after that you uses it less”-Samy Vellu during Parliament session.

I read that statement and wonder how oxymoron can you be??

Last month, before Ramadhan, Datuk Shahrir Ahmad, two DAP officers representing the voice of the smaller people visited a row of houses in Setiawangsa, where an elevated highway supposed to be built, has causes cracks to appear in their homes due to heavy pilling works.

So, Datuk Shahrir Samad pleads to Kementerian Kerja Raya to stop all work fearing that further damages will be incurred.

The next day, Samy Vellu issues a statement “ Kerja lebuh raya ini akan tetap di jalankan kerana jika di berhentikan, lebih baik seluruh Malaysia Lagi bagus naik kereta lembu sahaja. Dari Kuala Lumpur ke Pulau Pinang kalu naik kereta lembu satu bulan baru sampai” – He said with a grin!

Last month as well, One BN MP also question as to why the government must pay the toll concessionaries RM 525 M this year because the govt. doesn’t allowed them to hike their toll rate even though one toll operator announced hundred of millions of profits through their operation.

Again, the next day Samy Vellu said “ Tak payah nak argue pasal kadar pembayaran pampasan kepada pengusaha lebug raya kerana kamu tidak faham kontrak kerajaan!”

Well, I thought, make me understand than…and explain it in lay man terms! A great communicator usually able to communicate great things in the simplest terms-obviously he is not one of them.

My god, that was also one of the most idiotic statement that a minister can make. First, he insulted our intelligence by actually thinking that most of us cannot comprehend about the complexities of the government.

Second, why the kereta lembu statement? I just cannot understand him la …kalau tak mahu buat lebuh raya pun tak pe laa, tapi kena revert naik kereta lembu pulak apa kejadahnya nie? Jalan persekutuan kan ader…yang paling intriguing for me was he actually know that it will take a month for a bullock cart to travel from KL to Pulau Pinang, personal experience ker??

For a minister representing only about 8-9% from the overall Malaysian population, it is poor showing. Not only that the majority of the 8-9% live just above the poverty line and currently, the major contributing factor towards crime, he ought to buck up and shut up.

Sort out your own houses la Samy, you only representing a minority that hardly representing top tier of the nation. Sorry to say laa…you couldn’t even elevated the status of your kinsman to actually conquer the Everest for Malaysia. Compare that to Datuk Azhar, who traveled the world solo and that cubby fella who swim across the English channel-can’t remember his name but I believe he is a Datuk now. Easy eh?

Personally, I believe he way past his sell by date. Too many worn out ideas and way too much excuses. What about the cracks on the pillar in MRR2? Have you done anything about it? Again, why, just widowed Abdullah Badawi and the rest of the BN cabinet actually tolerated you is also a question. Abroad, minister with so many scandal like you are already impeach by the government itself.

Samy, you are the true embodiment of the Malaysia Boleh spirit!

Because whatever you do, the majority of Malaysian citizen still applauds you for your effort!

Samy, you are a champion!!

Heh..heh Samy Happy Deepavali as well.
