MIC Raises Youth Age Limit

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

samyvThe age limit for MIC Youth members and those holding positions in the movement will be raised from 40 to 45 to enable more people to join the movement, said MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu today.

The age limit for Youth at 45? You must be kidding?! I was curious on what the standards were to be considered a “Youth” and here is some :

  • Youth… those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years. – United Nations General Assembly
  • Time in a person’s life between childhood and adulthood. The term “youth” in general refers to those who are between the ages of 15 to 25. – World Bank

As the saying goes, all you need to be is young at heart and you can join MIC’s youth arm! Im curious why on earth does a 45 year old want to be in the Youth arm of the party? At what age does he/she join MIC proper and what age do they get into power of the party? 80-90?

So if your looking for a party that is fresh and looking for real youth? You probably knocking the wrong door?

1 Batang For BN & 2 Bukits For PR

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

results

Barisan Nasional as predicted managed to win the Batang Ai seat while PR which fielded a PAS and PKR candidate both bagged the Bukits in the Peninsular. Watching the coverage on tv can be pretty annoying especially when you watch a channel where the panel is nothing but bias. Dont understand why on earth they invite “so called experts” who obviously have some alliance with a certain party.

Hopefully there are no more by-elections what so ever(unless someone passes on of course). Its time for the government, the state governments to start working proper instead of polictiking!!

People’s Power?

Friday, February 13th, 2009

nazi

After the previous election, it was clear that the people’s voice was being finally heard. Not because BN lost states and a significant majority but because there were signs that people want something and the polls were reflecting that very sentiment. Then there was some drama with the PM and his decision to step down and the succesor being decided etc…

Then the hostile take over of Perak happened! It was very tragic in the way the govt was thrown out and a new govt was formed without the mandate from the people. As a nuetral, one would think that if the govt didnt have the mojority a election would be called to let the people decide on who should govern them.

Simple logic, there always will be bad apples in any basket.. It can be a dark blue,dark blue or event a white basket. But how should we deal with these bad apples? Remove them and let the people decide who should replace them maybe?

Anyway..It was truly sad in the way things have unfolded isnt it? Not because Pakatan lost power but how the people were undermind! I spoke to many friends who voted in that state and the sentiments is clear, most are dissapointed.

Below is some polls that have been done since : (more…)

Are You A Migrant?

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

immigrants

Wikipedia :

Emigration is the act of leaving one’s native country or region to settle in another. It is the same as immigration but from the perspective of the country of origin. Human movement before the establishment of state boundaries or within one state, is termed migration

In a previous posting there was a comment from a reader amongst some of his comment said :

The rights you have right now is more than a enough for a migrant race. If you all open your narrow mind & compare Malaysia with other countries, then it would be a heaven for you

Do you consider your self a immigrant? I’m born and bred Malaysian. My parents are Malaysians so i do not consider myself a immigrant. Do you? As far as im concern, the day we start giving others excuses for not treating you as a equal(not “luxury rights”) you might as well move into a shell and enjoy the warmth you get out of that space.

I have some questions:

  • Why do we compare against something that is worst that your scenario?
  • Why don’t we compare against those who are in a situation that you would like to be and working towards that?

I know that everyone has their right to their opinion but my thoughts are that im Malaysian and i dont think that anyone should be settling for second,third or anything other than what they deserve. Having said that, it does not come easy and if you dont beleive in it, dont stop those who does!?

Does anyone stop you from being a third class citizen? I don’t think so! So let those who want to be recognized as Malaysians fight their battle!

The Mandate

Monday, October 13th, 2008

The parliament resumes today after almost a month and a half break. There has been so much talk about when Pakatan will take over and the new leadership which is iminent with the Barisan Nasional government. If you listen to some of the speeches by the Barisan leaders, its almost certain that Najib will be the PM and Muhyiddin will be the DPM. Some must have forgotten that there is a whole electoral process that has got to be undertaken before the decision is given.

The word of the day is MANDATE (more…)
