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…)

Remember Bala?

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Remember PI Bala? He came out and made a statuary declaration only to go missing the next day, appointing a new lawyer and cmoing out with a new declaration which conviniently left our key names. He has since gone missing and nothing has been heard about him.

If you have been following the happenings around ,this has become a bit of a norm with wistle blowers going mysteriously missing after coming out. Today i read a posting on Kickdefella about how you should not trust rumors. In a country like ours where we have lots of aspiring private investigators, stories that come out sometimes put those in CSI to shame!

Never the less there was a story indicating that :

I was told that Najib’s wife has met Bala in the British Isle few days after the private eye went missing and paid Bala RM5 Million. I was told that Bala and family are seeking the Indian citizenships. I truly hope this is not true and Rosmah will make a statement to deny this. At the same time, I hope the good Malaysians in certain places can check on the validity of the timing to ensure that Rosmah was actually somewhere in the British Isle during the few days after the disappearance of Mr. Bala

Before you jump into any conclusion this is no confirmed info but a “rumour”. But think about it from a logical stand point (put on your practical thinking cap) . If you were in the situation where you had access to information of key people of a nation. You decide to come up and reveal what you know to very strong sources to lobby your cause(not neccasirily in power). Suddenly you have spotlights on you with threats to your family and yourself. Tagged with a new found wealth, what would you do?

I dont think Bala was the wealthiest ,if he were he woudnt be a PI but a PI company owner. And i doubt anyone that is high profile would hire a high profile PI because its too much fame that could lead to un necesary attention.

What do you do?

1) Take the money and flee the country. Go to a country where they speak your language, look like you, buy some land next to one of the wonders of the world,some cows and the currency is significantly lower from where you came from and live happily ever after?

2) Resist all temptations, leave your family in danger to protect your principals and fight for the nation in bringing down the guilty parties?

Hard decision eh? You tell me!

PS- I agree with you brother Sheih, dont trust rumours! Selamat Hari Raya!

Perez Hilton Speaks About RPK

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Not only Malaysians are disgusted with the arrested at the arrest of RPK. Famous hollywood blogger Perez Hilton has blogged about RPK in his blog. In his posting, he says :

A controversial Malaysian blogger named Raja Petra Kamaruddin has been detained for criticizing the Malaysian government and ‘insulting’ Islam.

And, as if that weren’t troubling enough, the blogger is going to be locked up – without a trial – for TWO YEARS!

His wife told the media, “(Police) said my husband has been sent to Kamunting this morning and that he will remain there for two years with no trial. This is the worst news I can receive but we will keep fighting for his release.”

The blogger’s attorney said the government had pulled a “mean, dirty trick” by issuing the detention order the night before a scheduled court hearing on Tuesday to secure his release. “The government can now hide behind a veil of secrecy because they do not have to disclose reasons for detaining him.”

God bless America.

We always give thanks for the freedom we have to speak our mind!

The world is watching and are in disgust of our government. Embarrassing!

Arrested Bloggers

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Recently Malaysia has been experiencing a frenzy of bloggers that have been arrested. This year alone we saw bloggers RPK,Penarik Beca and Kickdefella being arrested. I was wondering if this is a trend that has been happening around the world that our government have been “learning from”

I must find the book “101 ways to keep bloggers shut” I think some governments of the world skipped the content and got to the end bit where it said ARREST THEIR ASS. Its mind boggling that government see bloggers as national threats and rapist,kidnappers and murderers are still roaming around looking for new targets.

Last year alone we had Nurin,Sharlinie,Preeshena and god knows how many more were either murdered or kidnap. The highlight after they have gone the cases were suddenly not spoken about and no updates were given. Are bloggers that bad that you need to arrest them and give them such a hard time??

Well back to the original story… (more…)

Political World

Friday, September 12th, 2008

We live in a political world
Where love don’t have any place
We’re living in times where men commit crimes
And crime don’t have a face

We live in a political world
Icicles hangin’ down
Wedding bells ring and angels sing
And clouds cover up the ground

We live in a political world
Wisdom is thrown into jail
It rots in a cell misguided as hell
Leaving no one to pick up the trail

We live in a political world
Where mercy walks the plank
Life is in mirrors, death disappears
Up the steps into the nearest bank

We live in a political world
Courage is a thing of the past
Houses are haunted, children aren’t wanted
Your next day could be your last

We live in a political world
The one we can see and feel
But there’s no one to check, it’s all a stacked deck
We all know for sure that it’s real

We live in a political world
The cities are a lonesome fear
Little by little, you turn in the middle
You’re never sure why you’re here

We live in a political world
Under the microscope
You could travel anywhere and hang yourself there
You’ve always got more than enough rope

We live in a political world
Turning and a-thrashing about
As soon as you’re awake you’re trained to take
What looks like the easy way out

We live in a political world
Where peace is not welcome at all
It’s turned away from the door to wander some more
Or put up against the wall

We live in a political world
Everything’s hers and his
Climb into the flame and shout god’s name
But you’re not even sure what it is
