Sivakumar being dragged out of the House - Sinar Harian
It was a much anticipated day at the Perak State Assembly. The speaker was dragged off his seat and a new one was installed. Many arrested which includes law makers, its makes you wonder if democracy really exist? I used to watch video’s of the Taiwanese House and how they behave thinking at least we are not that bad but i guess i spoke to soon! (more…)
He has been the MIC top man for more than 30 years! Thats as long as i have been alive! Amazing if you ask me for someone to be in power for such a long time. One would think that to move forward, you need fresh ideas and fresh direction to be relevant. Say what you want but old habits die hard and sometimes still linger in there and influence decisions in the long run.
In a report on The Star :
MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu will stay a year-and-half at the most, as he wants time to “train” his deputy, who will be elected in September
Its going to be scary if the MIC dictator will groom the successor by instilling the qualities that made MIC the party it is today!
My take :
If you have cancer, it will never never get you to perfect health unless its removed from the roots. And when you have a “root” still in the system and its showered with water,wisdom,qualities from the cancer cell.. Do you honestly think its going to improve? I dont at least!
If the party want to be relevant and be a channel of progress, it needs fresh and brand spanking new ideas and implementation to work! But of course you must give them the benefit of the doubt and watch the show as it unveils it self. It never mattered to me so if it doesnt change, it doesnt make any difference to me at least so time will tell 
Since the new cabinet was announced, i was looking at the lineup and wondering who the new Botak was going to be? Now if you are wondering who is botak? It was the member of the previous cabinet who came out and said not very intelligent things again and again. So i had a rough idea on who that may be but i saw a report today that confirmed that!
Read this report
Lets dissect that report :
The new minister has urged private television (TV) and radio stations to change by putting national interest above commercial value
This is like the MAS and SIA situation, SIA was formed to make money and provide superior service and MAS is the national airline. Explains …. Its a private company for a reason, its very existence is to make money not to sing and act political songs for a certain party. But there is already 2 channels for that purpose, unless…This its been soo poorly managed that its not even serving the interest of “nationa interest” ?
Private TV and radio stations soon to bring about changes as they had failed to deliver the government’s aspirations resulting in Barisan Nasional’s (BN) poor performance at the general election last year
I think there is a distinct difference between national interest and a political agenda. If the stations have got to spread the messages to promote Malaysia and Malaysians to be one and united, im all for it but political interest??!
People will not blame the private TV and radio stations if they had complied with the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998.
Who is blaming the private station? The people or you?
From the tone that im getting, it sounds like one should not bother watching or listening to the stations that belong to the government because it seems that it will have more content which is set out for a political interest. The previous cabinet minister and the team gave some promise but looks like stone age is the new direction!
I somehow think that the this is only the beginning and watch the new minister, there will be more weird statements that will be coming out of this camp!
Kumar from the flick Harold & Kumar is taking a break from going to a new place to terrorize it rather has chosen to head over to the White House to join the new Obama administration as a associate director in the office of public liaison.
He has been big supporter of Obama and will be taking a huge pay cut to do something which is close to his heart. Kal Penn will be taking a break of his acting career and hopefully be able to serve his country via a president that the world is hopeful off.
