Sorry lor! Satisfied?

"Mana ada bocor? Batu Gajah pun bocor tiap-tiap bulan juga."
They apoligized to all Malaysian women. Ah, well, we know how some politicians are. If they were quoted or heard to say something offensive, there are only two things that they will do, generally. First, defend themselves like nobody's business and blame the media for 'misunderstanding' or 'misquote' them. The main thing is die die also don't want to admit mistakes. Second of all, apologize due to popular demand WITH self-defense AND blaming the media because 'that was not what they meant.'
In this bocor case, they did the second. How they apologize due to popular demand? Hold press conference or the likes and say sorry after everyone was pissed at the remarks that they made. Go back and sleep, wait for tomorrow morning's paper to see their faces on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Everybody happy, they are trouble-free. Self-defense you said? Of course! The lampar are bigger than the brain, you know. I quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bung Mokhtar and Mohd Said however maintained that they were merely carrying out their duty as Barisan MPs in defending the Government against 'the Opposition's unfounded claims'."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmmm...meaning they were just saying that to defend the government? They were being the heroes here? They are loyal and patriotic. They should be honoured, no? Ok, enough said. Next! Blame the media because that's not what they meant. Contradiction, contradiction. I quote again:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...some of the Barisan MPs might have gone overboard but there was no intention to insult women..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sigh! Enough of those two lah. See the face also I tulan. People who insult women don't deserve to live because they indirectly insult their own mother. This applies to everyone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I would like to categorically state that sexism in any form, by words or action, by men or women, whether in Parliment made by elected representatives of both Government and Opposition or indeed anywhere else in this country, is not acceptable." -Shahrizat-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*standing ovation* (Full news here)
They should watch us doing Parlimentary debate. We are not supposed to make any personal attacks or name names when debating. But we are allowed to talk on sensitive issues EDUCATIONALLY. When doing rebuttal, we must have supporting facts. We don't go and insult people's mother during rebuttals. However, the REAL Parlimentary debate has gotten the world laughing at us. Tsk tsk tsk!
My grandpa used to say about the chao ah bengs polluting the streets today, "If they behave well, they will be politicians already, why still scattered around the streets and annoyed the hell out of us?"
Well, watching all the dramas in the Parliment today, I realized my grandpa was being sarcastic!
Enough said. It's Saturday anyway. Going off work soon! YAY!!!

Shame! Real SHAME!

"Varsity students do badly in MUET

By KAREN CHAPMAN

PUTRAJAYA: One-third of students who graduated from public universities last year have very low English language proficiency.

In fact, 29.2% of the 120,000 graduates scored Bands One and Two in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET), which identifies them as “Extremely Limited User” and “Limited User” respectively..." (FULL VERSION)
I am totally speechless!!!
"We have turned down the request as this would not be fair to students, particularly those from rural areas." (???) Mustapa is a perfect idiot!
A standing ovation to the vice-chancellors' committee who had recently recommended that the ministry make it compulsory for students to score at least a Band Three before they graduate from university. But I proposed that they raised the standard to a Band Four, because any retard can easily get a Band Three. (No offence)
"Not worried over low English proficiency

UNIVERSITI Sains Malaysia is not kicking up a big fuss over the low English proficiency among university students as it has high confidence in its students’ ability in the language.

USM vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Dzulkifli Abdul Razak said the university had been teaching science and mathematic subjects in English...
...“So, I will not kick up a fuss on this issue. Let someone else do it,'' he told newsmen after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the University of Peradeniya (UPSL) from Sri Lanka..." (FULL VERSION)
This guy is smart. Actually it is up to the students to worry and 'kick up a fuss' because it is indeed the students' job to do so, no? He might sound cruel and selfish, but he's being realistic here. You see, if you suck in English, it is your problem and it is your own responsibility to do something about it. What do you expect? The university to come up with a committee to improve your language? Spoon-feed you? Find a solution to every of your problem?
"Maintain high MUET standards

IT IS really distressing to read your report “Varsity students do badly in MUET”(The Star, Jan 23).

It is disturbing to know that almost one-third of our public university students fall in Bands One and Two of the Malaysian University English Test (MUET), which indicates their poor command of English.

The recommendation by the vice-chancellors’ committee to make it compulsory for students to score at least a Band Three before they graduate from university is a move in the right direction and should be adopted.

In fact, it should be made a criterion for admission to university in the first place, especially for science-based courses.

Turning down the recommendations of the vice-chancellors’ committee would be jeopardising the students' future..." (FULL VERSION)
See what I mean? Almost 30% of graduates suck in English and some clowns (no, i'm not talking about the writer) still said this is 'high standard'? I quote Patrick Teoh, NIAMAH!!!
The English Language has been a national debate among institutions of higher learning, the Education Ministry, politicians, schools, parents, even among students. Some stupid clowns in the country still membangga-banggakan Bahasa Melayu and keep on wet-dreaming about Bahasa Melayu as international language.
"If during the reign of the Malacca Sultanate, Bahasa Melayu was used as the lingua franca, why not now?"
Well, mister, let me tell you something. This is the Information Age, not Stone Age lar! And you know what? In this Information Age, the age of your information is significant. And a lot of the clowns still wet dream about pre-historic. This is no wonder why Malaysia remains in the state she is now.
If we have a teacher who taught us to pronounce 'conscience' as 'corn-sa-yerns' and 'cough' as 'coach' what do you think will happen to our students?
It is indeed heartbreaking and sad to see or listen to the students speaking all broken, like the Ten Commandments, English. Or rather not English at all. Bahasa Rojak is the most appropriate to describe it. Some will disagree with me and defended that it is Manglish, a unique Malaysian English.
*roll eyes*
Puh-leez!!! Can't you add more insult to the already abused English? People going overseas for studying or working coming back adopting all the irritating fake ang moh accent is nothing to be proud of. Proper and correct do not mean following what other people do ("When in Rome, do what the Romans do" cannot be applied here). Plain and simple without the accent is nothing but perfect. And you cannot improve a perfection.
Back to Malaysia. I noticed that a lot of university students (note that I did not say all) really cannot speak proper English, or rather cannot speak English at all. And yet, they are too arrogant to listen when you say English is important.
Take my university (UUM) for example. People just don't speak English here. When you attempt to speak the language, people will shoot you the glance that says you are trying to show off! The Chinese speaks either Mandarin or their 'infamous' Penang Hokkien, the Malays speak their own pelat negeri (eg. "meh dengok ape abang nak habak"-Kedah, "apo khabe?"-bak Kelate, "kamek sik balit"-Sarawak, etc), Indians speak Tamils, etc.
The usage of English here is so limited to teaching by some lecturers, some newspapers, communicating with foreign students but not so much, well that's all I can think of. The reason that students here suck in English is simply because some lecturers couldn't even string a decent sentence in English or defend their ideas!
Some proudly claimed to have graduated from universities in the USA, UK and Aussie. I seriously doubt that. A lot of time I couldn't even understand a word some lecturers are saying. Their pronounciation, grammar, limited vocabulary are all WRONG!
You see, what do you think will happen to the students when you have a lecturer who tells the students that a 'physician' is someone who is an expert in physics instead of a general medical practitioner?
Enough said.

UUM Student Found Hanged

News travel faster than any form of wave. Heard this piece of news yesterday from a friend. SMSed my junior to verify the truth. Saw the news in the New Straits Times today under Nation page 21.

"VARSITY STUDENT FOUND HANGED
CHANGLUNG: A Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) student was found dead in a hostel toilet in Sintok here yesterday.
The body of 25-year-old final year economics student, Wong Soo Sun, was found at the Bukit Kachi 2 hostel with a track top tied around her neck.
Her body was sent to the Jitra Hospital for a post-mortem before being released to her family.
Police have ruled out foul play."
Source: New Straits Times, Tuesday, January 9, 2007
They misspelt the name of the place. It's supposed to be CHANGLUN without a G at the end. Heard also that this girl is from Johore and most probably due to stress, commited suicide. What a tragic ending for someone who almost graduate.
This is so sad, man. It happened so near where I am. But luckily the hostel is off campus, mine is in campus. It shocked the bones out of me because yesterday was only the second day of lessons. I don't think the lecturers have started to teach. Therefore there is nothing to be stressed about yet.
Well, people still talk about this news today. Lecturers even discussed it in their lectures and it has nothing to do with the subject they are teaching.

Oh, really?

Hahaha! They are lowering the road tax starting tomorrow. Or so I read.

Road tax lowered on private vehicles from Jan 1
BY SIMON KHOO


PEKAN: Vehicle owners will have something to celebrate this New Year - lower road tax.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced yesterday that road tax for all privately-owned cars would be reduced by between 4% and 33%, effective tomorrow..

Source: The Star
Be prepared. They are going to hike the petrol price AGAIN!
Nothing to be celebrated, really. Because people want reduction in petrol price.
Public wants to see lower petrol prices instead

PENANG: Reduction in road tax may be good news but some people prefer petrol prices to be lowered instead.

“It is useless to reduce the road tax but increase fuel prices. It’s better to bring down fuel prices since we use petrol every day while we pay road tax only once or twice a year,” said retired driver Shaik Ibrahim Shaik Jee, 72.

Shaik Ibrahim said he was worried that the road tax reduction was just a reprieve before another petrol price hike...(Read more)

The HOO-HAAs of PMR results

Congratulations to all those who got excellent results in their PMR examinations!!!

The boy in the pic on the right is from my former school, a boys' school in Sibu

Picture courtesy of The Borneo Post

To those who had done their very best but did not get what was expected, do not feel bad. You know you have done your best. Nobody will blame you. Nothing to be worried about.


Family tradition eh?

Picture courtesy of The Borneo Post

And to those getting straight As, well done. Of course you can celebrate all you want and eat all you can. Your journey and battle have not ended YET. This is just the beginning. Yeah, it did feel good in the ass when you see yourself in the newspaper like that family tradition guy in the bottom right pic.

This is something the blardy gahmen supposed to be very proud of, huh!

Picture courtesy of The Borneo Post

Ya, ya...it does indeed feel really good seeing yourself in the newspaper. Some students feel good to the extend that they walk around the school with their noses stuck in the air above their head. When you happen to walk past such students, you could literally feel the strong typhoon passing through you. Well, these were some feedbacks from teachers, not me.

Biggest book, then what?

Living here in Malaysia is never boring. Malaysia has never failed to amuse me!

"Malaysian book vying for place in Guinness book of records

What's next? Eating the most number of durians underwater???
Well, Malaysia just never fail to amuse me...

Some really stupid happenings in Malaysia which showed the world how idiotic we are

Since every other bloggers are blogging about the Taiwan quake and the affected dotcoms etc, I am not going to blog about that. If you want to read about that you can go here, here and here. Inter-faith issues have been hogging the limelight in 2006 following a widely debated question as to whether they fell under the jurisdiction of the Civil or Syariah courts.

Here are some of the cases, not in particular orders:
1. The Lina Joy case became the talk of the town and created tension in this multi-racial country. Lina, whose real name is Azlina Jailani, sought a court order to have the word 'Islam' deleted from her identity card to enable her to register her marriage at the civil registry after renouncing the Islamic faith.

She managed to get her name changed in her identity card but her religion remained as Islam in her identity card.

2. The conflict on the Article 121(A) of the Federal Constitution also surfaced in the case of Mount Everest climber Sgt M Moorthy or Muhammad Abdullah when his widow S Kaliammal and the Federal Territories Religious Department (Jawi) were enganged in a tussle over his burial which created dissatisfaction among certain groups.

Moorthy, who died on Dec 20, was finally buried by Jawi on Dec 28 following the Syariah High Court's decision that he was a Muslim, while the High Court ruled that it had no power to intervene in the decision. The case has yet to come up for review in the Court of Appeal.

3. Another case of almost similar nature involved van driver A Rayappan. The MAIS claimed he embraced Islam in 1990 and that his body must be buried according to Islamic rites. However, his family protested, claiming that Rayappan renounced Islam nine years later and had returned to Christianity. MAIS brought the issue before the Syariah Court but later decided to withdraw its case, and Rayappan's body was returned to his family who quickly cremated it and his ashes were buried at the Catholic cemetry in Cheras according to Christian rites.

4. Another case that stirred public interest involved three pupils - Meor Atiqulrahman Ishak and brothers Syed Abdullah Khaliq Aslamy Syed Ahmad Johari and Syed Ahmad Syakur - who were expelled from school for refusing to take off their turban.

*So much for the 'kebebasan beragama' rights in Malaysia. Like what I studied in Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia, I thought they always banggakan "Agama Islam tidak memaksa" here.
Now the question is, does the court has the right to judge a person's religion?

That's not Malaysia "boleh", that's Malaysia "bodoh"

Well, I did not mean to blog another post only a few minutes away from my previous post but something just caught my attention. A friend of mine, Charles just sent me a link in MSN and I find it interesting. The title is none other than 'While Malaysia fiddles, its opportunities are running dry' by Michael Backman.
MALAYSIA'S been at it again, arguing about what proportion of the economy each of its two main races — the Malays and the Chinese — owns. It's an argument that's been running for 40 years. That wealth and race are not synonymous is important for national cohesion, but really it's time Malaysia grew up.

It's a tough world out there and there can be little sympathy for a country that prefers to argue about how to divide wealth rather than get on with the job of creating it.

The long-held aim is for 30 per cent of corporate equity to be in Malay hands, but the figure that the Government uses to justify handing over huge swathes of public companies to Malays but not to other races is absurd. It bases its figure on equity valued, not at market value, but at par value.

Many shares have a par value of say $1 but a market value of $12. And so the Government figure (18.9 per cent is the most recent figure) is a gross underestimate. Last month a paper by a researcher at a local think-tank came up with a figure of 45 per cent based on actual stock prices. All hell broke loose. The paper was withdrawn and the researcher resigned in protest. Part of the problem is that he is Chinese.

"Malaysia boleh!" is Malaysia's national catch cry. It translates to "Malaysia can!" and Malaysia certainly can. Few countries are as good at wasting money. It is richly endowed with natural resources and the national obsession seems to be to extract these, sell them off and then collectively spray the proceeds up against the wall.

This all happens in the context of Malaysia's grossly inflated sense of its place in the world.

Most Malaysians are convinced that the eyes of the world are on their country and that their leaders are world figures. This is thanks to Malaysia's tame media and the bravado of former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. The truth is, few people on the streets of London or New York could point to Malaysia on a map much less name its prime minister or capital city.
As if to make this point, a recent episode of The Simpsons features a newsreader trying to announce that a tidal wave had hit some place called Kuala Lumpur. He couldn't pronounce the city's name and so made up one, as if no-one cared anyway. But the joke was on the script writers — Kuala Lumpur is inland.

Petronas, the national oil company is well run, particularly when compared to the disaster that passes for a national oil company in neighbouring Indonesia. But in some respects, this is Malaysia's problem. The very success of Petronas means that it is used to underwrite all manner of excess.
The KLCC development in central Kuala Lumpur is an example. It includes the Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in the world when they were built, which was their point.
It certainly wasn't that there was an office shortage in Kuala Lumpur — there wasn't.
Malaysians are very proud of these towers. Goodness knows why. They had little to do with them. The money for them came out of the ground and the engineering was contracted out to South Korean companies.

They don't even run the shopping centre that's beneath them. That's handled by Australia's Westfield.

Next year, a Malaysian astronaut will go into space aboard a Russian rocket — the first Malay in space. And the cost? $RM95 million ($A34.3 million), to be footed by Malaysian taxpayers. The Science and Technology Minister has said that a moon landing in 2020 is the next target, aboard a US flight. There's no indication of what the Americans will charge for this, assuming there's even a chance that they will consider it. But what is Malaysia getting by using the space programs of others as a taxi service? There are no obvious technical benefits, but no doubt Malaysians will be told once again, that they are "boleh". The trouble is, they're not. It's not their space program.

Back in July, the Government announced that it would spend $RM490 million on a sports complex near the London Olympics site so that Malaysian athletes can train there and "get used to cold weather".

But the summer Olympics are held in the summer.

So what is the complex's real purpose? The dozens of goodwill missions by ministers and bureaucrats to London to check on the centre's construction and then on the athletes while they train might provide a clue.

Bank bale outs, a formula one racing track, an entire new capital city — Petronas has paid for them all. It's been an orgy of nonsense that Malaysia can ill afford.

Why? Because Malaysia's oil will run out in about 19 years. As it is, Malaysia will become a net oil importer in 2011 — that's just five years away.

So it's in this context that the latest debate about race and wealth is so sad.

It is time to move on, time to prepare the economy for life after oil. But, like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, the Malaysian Government is more interested in stunts like sending a Malaysian into space when Malaysia's inadequate schools could have done with the cash, and arguing about wealth distribution using transparently ridiculous statistics.

That's not Malaysia "boleh", that's Malaysia "bodoh" (stupid).

Beware of cross-symbol biscuit

*inhale deeply* *exhale deeply*
Alright, enough about the pervert old man! Three continuous posts about him, wasting my bandwidth only. Good thing I did not pollute my blog with his hum sup face. Heheh!
Well, here's something interesting enough to ponder:
Biskut lambang salib? PPIM buat laporan polis
10-11-2006 08:39:44 PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) hari ini membuat laporan polis terhadap sebuah syarikat pengeluar aiskrim terkemuka kerana kepingan biskutnya mempunyai imej salib.

Rombongan PPIM ketika membuat aduan di Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Cheras itu disertai anggota beberapa badan bukan kerajaan termasuk Kongres India Muslim Malaysia (KIMMA) dan Yayasan Bakti Khidmat Masyarakat Malaysia (YBKMM) dengan diketuai Pengarah Sekretariat PPIM Dr Izham Nayan.

Ketua Polis Daerah, ACP Rosli Ahmad mengesahkan bahawa pihaknya telah menerima laporan itu.

Beliau enggan mengulas lanjut.

Dr Izham memberitahu pemberita pihaknya bertindak demikian selepas menerima aduan daripada beberapa orang pengguna yang menyedari kewujudan imej salib pada produk keluaran syarikat itu.

Katanya PPIM telah menghubungi syarikat ais krim berkenaan untuk mendapatkan penjelasan namun sehingga kini belum ada sebarang jawapan. BERNAMA

In short, some idiots went to the ice-cream company and complained that there is a cross on their biscuit, a symbol of Christianity. On the oreo-like biscuit got the capital letter T and a small letter t. And they took offence of an innocent small letter t!
I'm going to try that ice-cream though. It's WALL'S. What's the difference does it make after you eat and swallow it, right? After all, everything will come out as shit after the digestion. So, what's the fuss over an innocent t? Moron!

Hum Sup Municipal Council president Abu Bakar Hassan - minta maaf juga akhirnya

Read the news from The Star - Abu Bakar says sorry over remark just now and was wondering why he was doing it so unwillingly. It doesn't sound or look like a sincere apology to me or to anybody else.
He said investigation were under way and that disciplinary action would be taken against the control room operator if he is found guilty of any wrongdoing.
Excuse me? Now you are saying that it was the control room operator at fault? The sexist remark 'sexily dressed' was made by you and it was heard by every pair of ears in the room and now you are putting the blame on the operator? *speechless*
Extract of transcript of council president Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan’s press conference.

Q: Dr Teng (state Local Government committee chairman Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan) has said that you denied making the remark.
A: There is a misunderstanding. I have said in the press release that I apologise if my remark had hurt anyone’s feelings, including Melissa (New Straits Times reporter Melissa Darlyne Chow). I openly apologise.
Misunderstanding? First, you made the remark. Then you denied it. And now you said "apologise if my remark hurt anyone's feelings". So, that means you admit you actually made that sexist remark lah?

Q: Can you explain why the misunderstanding occurred? We had asked you whether you thought the reporter was sexily ...?
A: No ... no ... no. I have explained (in the press release) that it is a misunderstanding ... that is all.
Oh, so fast to deny, deny, deny leh! Just say the word "misunderstanding" and get away with it? Hey, orang tua, you tidak menjawab soalan langsung lah! Really bo tak chek wan lah this pervert.

Q: Do you think all the reporters (at the function) quoted you wrongly? We confirmed the remark with you twice.
A: I was talking about the dress code. I said (newsmen) must not wear sexy dresses (to cover council meetings) ... please do not relate this remark to the CCTV incident. I did not say because she was sexy, the incident occurred. I did not mean that.
Then what did you mean? If the incident didn't occur, you would not make such remark. What does that have to do with dress code? Even the Public Service Department said that Melissa was decently attired. And why the hell you go and bising-bising connect dress code with CCTV incident? Another 'misunderstanding', I supposed?

Q: That day you said “being sexy is the issue ..." and then you said if she had worn a normal dress, this would not have happened. We all heard it.
A: My statement was misunderstood. I was only talking about the attire in general. Do not relate it to this case because it is unfair.
Then what is fair?
'Misunderstood'? Have you no other better word than this???
They nailed it right in the forehead and yet kept denying it. What an egomaniac pervert!

Pervert old sexist mxxxer fxxxer

Hah! As I predicted in my previous post, that old pervert Abu Bakar Hassan (he ain't got honour to be addressed as datuk) is in self-denial again, contradicting with everything he has said earlier. After reading today's news titled Teng: Don't skirt issue and this piece of news here, I couldn't help laughing my ass off!
You see, this time, it's state executive councillor Datuk Dr Teng Hock Nan talking on behalf of the hum sup asshole. And uncle Teng only adviced him to meet the media to make his stand. Summore saying, like what I predicted, that the media 'misunderstood' him. What the fuck lah!!!
Hello! We are not 3-year-olds to be fooled by you, okay! What you've said, you've said it. What else is to be 'misunderstood' about the phrase 'sexily dressed'? So simple English you cannot understand ar? I don't find some other meaning behind that phrase. Sedar diri lah, latuk. Make mistake already doesn't want to admit, summore blame the media for 'misunderstanding' you. With that, you are just a notch above retard, the scum of the earth and what a waste of space only!
If you do not mean what you've said, then don't say it in the first place and caused public outrage! Being a 'bertamadun' person like yourself should know better when to shut up! Making that sexist remark will only reduce people's respect on you.
An idiot like Abu Bakar Hassan should be punished jia lat jia lat so that he sedar diri. I actually detest people who make statements yang tidak berasas!

Penang Municipal Council president Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan is one heck of a HUM SUP old man!

This piece of new from The Star Metro North really got onto my nerves!
This is yet another never-put-your-brain-in-gear-before-putting-your-mouth-in-action syndrome that has swept and infested many people in the authority. The pervert old man in my topic today is Penang Island Municipal Council president Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan. Want to know why he made such remark? You should see his hum sup face here - top left - and you'll know what I mean. Uncle Lim also blogged about this issue.
This irresponsible asshole blamed women jounalists for being dressed sexily (whatever that means) during council meeting.
And the most embarrassing of all is this:
"Newsmen covering the full council meeting at City Hall were shocked to find the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera zooming onto the thighs of the women journalists instead of the council proceedings."
Well, well...what should I say? I'm totally speechless after reading that. This is what happen if you provide first-world facilities to some scums of the earth. And then, blame it all on women! Some religious leaders, politicians, etc - especially the male ones just love to point their fingers at women at all cost without using their smaller-than-peanut brain first. I say, if they use their ass to actually think, they'll be smarter knowing when not to open their stinking mouth!
When rape cases are on the rise, they blame women, old man marrying young chick they also blame women, local guys marry foreign girls also they blame women, divorce also they blame women, everything also they say women gatal. I just remembered a poster I came across about a seminar by an uztaz titled 'Kegatalan Wanita' had been posted all around the university!!! What the hell was with that?!!!
The funny thing is: Why the hell they always blame women when the women are the victims of their male lust? Why women always get blamed for the way they dress when in fact, victims of such crimes are attired in loose baju kurung with a tudung, regarless of age and also children?
Moral of the story?
The retarded asshole who made such sexist remarks should have his testicles ripped off!!!

First BM then English, now BM again

What the hell is wrong with the blardy garmen? I have been using BM since Primary One till Form Five then suddenly they came up with such a 'WISE' idea to switch Science and Maths subjects to ENGLISH! *clap! clap! clap!* Those guinea pigs were students in Primary One, Form One and Lower Six! It was 2003. I was one of the guinea pigs being tested.
Somehow, it wasn't that bad. In fact, I prefer English when it comes to Science and Maths as they are the global subjects. Summore hor, all my subjects in Form Six are taught in English - Pure Maths, Physics and Chemistry and only one bloody useless subject was taught in BM - Pengajian Am. As my BM was pretty OK at that time, I didn't give a damn about my PA. Somehow I just got so used to English that my BM started to obey the Newton's Law of Gravitational Force!
Then, I was offered a place in a local university in the northern province. To my horror, this fucking university is still using BM as bahasa perantaraan! And some more, here got a lot of international student ler. I temporary forgot what were the BM terms for gradient and probability so I used English terms in my quizes instead. The idiotic lecturer marked me WRONG! When I argued, she said it was the wrong term and if I insisted, there's nothing much she could do about it because that's the way it is with the policy!
Later on, when I asked the TNC regarding the usage of language, he thick-facedly said that BM is still used as many students couldn't understand English! What the fuck! I mean, it's the student's problem if they cannot understand English, right? The students should take initiative to learn and master the language if they know they are poor at it, right? This is university ler, wei! No more spoon-feeding lah, uncle! With such an irresponsible reply from someone with authority, there was no doubt why this university was ranked TOP 2 in The Most Unemployed Graduate Rate in the country.
After listening and watching class presentations by some of my fellow coursemates, I just couldn't agree more with the unemployment ranking! In fact, if UUM is ranked No.1, I wouldn't blink at all. No, I'm not looking down on their weaknesses. The fact is that you must be realistic, their language really sucks like anything! Reading from a prepared text isn't difficult at all and yet they just couldn't get that through. English is not a foreign language! Even though majority of those who committed such crime are Malays, I am ashamed to say that my fellow Chinese counterparts are worse than them! It was hilarious listening to presentations in both Malay English and Mandarin English!
I couldn't point my finger at them, though, because most lecturers here just could not speak proper English at all! Some tried but failed miserably. Some even proudly claimed to have graduated from universities in Scotland, USA, England, Australia, etc and yet, their bahasa rojak is nothing that sound like English at all...Guru kencing berdiri, murid kencing berlari...true, eh?
Besides, BM should be their master language since they are Malays, right?
W-R-O-N-G!!!
Their BM is not that good either. And I am proud to say that being a Chinese, I can master both BM and English pretty well. My BM teacher (a Malay) once told me that "Essei awak tak macam karangan orang Cina langsung". And I am not a banana. I know Mandarin too. The BM they are using here is Bahasa Melayu Kedah, unlike the Bahasa Melayu Baku I used back in school. When I first came here and spoke BM, people thought I came from Indonesia!

Back to the media, I read from Sassy MP the other day that they are going to switch from using English to teach Science and Maths back to BM. What the fuck is with that??? Switching here and there for what??? You are scared that BM will pupus? Get real lah, majority people are still speaking BM, okay! Whether you like it or not, English is still the most important as it is the global language of science and technology.
Make up your mind, ministers!!! Don't keep switching at your pleasure without thinking of the consequences that might befall the victims. They are not your sex slave to be fucked upside down, inside out as you wish, okay!!! Stop making the youngsters confused and blur like sotong when they are now already halfway sesat! And you expect them to be the future leaders to lead this country? You must be joking!

Ungku Aziz is Pak Lah's supporter

Ungku Aziz: Why Pak Lah is different from others

KUALA LUMPUR: Three factors distinguish Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from his four illustrious predecessors, said Royal Professor Ungku Aziz.

He said Abdullah was the first Prime Minister to declare an unambiguous priority for the dejected rural people, as compared with the others who relegated this to a lesser position in favour of industrial development.

Ungku Aziz said the second factor was that, in line with his noble aim, Abdullah was making a game attempt to redress the imbalance of rural poverty.

“Thirdly, unlike some people who melepas batuk di tangga (are superficial), Abdullah has sincerely and boldly come out in favour of genuine national unity embracing all races,” he said in his speech at the launch of the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Chair at Universiti Malaya.

Abdullah was a former student of the university more than 40 years ago.

Wah! Ini uncle also kuat lihai wor. He simply hentam! But then this fellow is brave lor, at least he's not scared kena dragged down from the stage for making such a speech. What he said has some truth lah. But I'm not all for Pak Lah. PM or Dr M, both I don't really like...their old man syndrome has really started to annoy me. Macam budak-budak!
Even Pak Lah was a former student also no need to angkat him so high eh. Later the lubang hidung kembang till the KTM also can pass through ler. Need him to sponsor some money is it? Then no need use this method lar, old trick liao. Improve your university first, don't let it drop again, then you can ask anyone you like to chip in...

What A PIG!

"Eat less pork as many pig farmers are suspected of using the banned drug beta-agonist in their pig feed..."
What is it with beta-agonist? We are going to die anyway. Only a matter of time mar...
Hello, Uncle Chua...itu babi suspected only okay, why the hell ask us to be patient and wait lar! I know lah the pig's health you punya Ministry of Health section. The pig sty is under Ministry of Housing, correct? And when the babi cross the road and don't pay toll then it's Sami Vellu punya pasal hoh????
You know what, pork has became our daily consumption even if our 'certain' counterparts are 'allergic' to them. Pork is our source of wisdom. Hey, don't laugh! Kenapa? Tak percaya kah? Try staying away from pork and see yourself, or rather, your brain deteriorate! Summore you said some of the pigs are slaughtered in illegal slaughter house. Please lah, wei. Is there any place called 'sembelih babi secara halal'???
Every part of the pig also we olang Cina sapu all, i.e. pig's brain (Yummy!), pig's intestines (delicious!), pig's tongue (fantastic!), pig's ear, pig's stomach, pig's kidney (superb!), from head to toe also we sapu habis! That's why we are smart! Because we are blessed with wisdom for not wasting a single bit of the pig's part. Haha! Amazing!
And the question remains:
To pig or not to pig?

Dr M is on the Front Page again!

Well, after the cat and dog fight with Pak Lah, some secret meetings with that fellow, then tembak balik, etc now he is back with that handsome face of his on the front page again.
Full report here.
First it was because he just couldn't keep his hands off the current management, then criticized the PM, later ler some other people created havoc and he's not on the front page. Some other guy with his grand palace that selling satay in some forbidden area was the main attraction.
Maybe Dr M buay song lor since he thinks he's so damn good-looking so he must be in the news all the time. But I don't think this time he purposely made it to the top.
Yalar, being so old already, dahlah already retired, bising-bising with the current buay ho seh system, mana tidaknya kena heart attack? That old guy better go honeymoon with his wife and relax lah...leave the rest to Pak Lah lor. If he's not satisfied with Uncle Lah then why the hell he chose him as his successor in the first place ler?
The conspiracy theorist inside me tells me that this is all planned by the batu head himself. The mastermind behind all the current chaos in the country.
*playing X-Files tunes*
The TRUTH is in here, in the country!

Zakaria QUITS...finally!

Zakaria finally quits
by SHAHANAAZ HABIB, LOONG MENG YEE and IZATUN SHAARI
SHAH ALAM: Port Klang assemblyman Datuk Zakaria Md Deros has finally decided not to continue as Klang municipal councillor.
In a statement released around midnight, Zakaria said his decision not to accept nomination was made following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's advice yesterday.
Full report here.
source: The Star Online
For more than twenty years this fellow served as MPK councillor and for more than 20 years people trusted him. But then what? Harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi. Taking FULL advantage of his position to build a 'mansion' without submitting the building plan to the council. Some more illegally built a restaurant DZ Satay House on state reserve land.
And they only ADVICED him to QUIT????????????
WTF!!! No legal actions? No warning? No saman? No ass-kissing? No CIA intervention? No war? No drama? No tearing off his Datuk-ship? Just ADVICE??? Just a F***ING ADVICE???
And whether he really paid up what he owed also we are not informed about the full story. Come on! We, the rakyat, want to see some drama! Like the PM-Dr M cat and dog fight. This whole thing is getting lame, the headlines are so predictable that I actually managed to save the money of buying newspapers for something else!
Please lah...we want some action-flicked ass-kicking thriller!!!

A Post Worth Reading

The article below was originally written by ME. It was published in The Star on my birthday. Happy reading!
Dress Code for undergrads?
I agree with the view expressed in the articles "Where is the freedom?" (StarEducation, Aug 6) and "Do away with impractical rules" (StarEducation, Aug 13). As a university student myself, I share the disappointment of the students who wrote in.
The emphasis on the dress code in university is too much. University students are supposed to be older and more responsible, and therefore, there should be less need for rules to ensure that we behave.
It seems odd that universities insist on dress codes. After all, if undergraduates are just one step away from full adulthood, why are we being treated like schoolchildren and subjected to constant regulations?
We all understand that undergrads need to dress neatly and appropriately, but that is all that needs to be said. To spell out, in detail, the way they must be dressed would be to put pressure on us.
All this makes me wonder about the priorities of university students - are we in university to study or to worry about dress codes?
Of course, discipline is part and parcel of university life but what is the point of being correctly dressed - by university rules and standards - if you do not have the discipline to complete assignments on time, or are unable to string a decent sentence and defend your ideas?
Speaking of which, lectures in universities are supposed to be conducted in English but most are still conducted in bahasa rojak. There are lecturers with masters degrees who cannot speak English well. Some claim to have graduated from universities overseas but we have to crack our brains trying to make out what they are trying to say.
When I asked a university official, during a dialogue session with undergraduates, about the usage of English in universities, he said that lectures are still conducted in Bahasa Malaysia as many students are unable to understand if lectures are held in English.
I even heard that some lecturers have asked international students to get out of the lecture hall if they want the lecturer to teach in English. Actions like this will obviously tarnish the image of the university as well as the country.
If you want mature adults to spring from our education system, the rules in universities should be appropriate. Only then can our undergrads grow up to become future leaders with the ability to see things in perspective.
Policies, rules and regulations should be revised if necessary, in keeping with the times. We should not always kept quiet and just go with the flow of things - after all, not bringing up an issue does not mean the problem is not there.

An Open Letter By Tun Dr. Mahathir

Ladies and gentlemen
Citizens of Malaysia

Why did I criticise the Prime Minister?

Because no one else is able to criticise the Prime Minister. He cannot be criticised by his Deputy, his Cabinet Ministers, Umno Supreme Council members, Menteri Besar, Chief Ministers, Members of the Dewan Rakyat, Members of the Senate, Members of the State Legislative Council, Umno members at all levels, Government Officers and anyone from royalty to beggars.

The mainstream media including radio and television are not allowed to admonish the Prime Minister. Pre-paid telephones are now required to be registered so that anyone who transmits SMSes will be known by the Government and action can be taken.

The Internet and the websites will be electronically bugged and action taken against anyone who criticises the Prime Minister.

Anyone who attempts to hold any function that may involve criticising the Prime Minister will be harassed and threatened by the police and Government leaders to force them to cancel the function.

I myself have been blocked using all sorts of means to stop me from criticising the Prime Minister.

1. I cannot be invited by Umno, non-government organisations, associations of government officers or non-government officers, universities or any other institutions.

2. Umno members and the public are prevented from and advised against attending any functions or meetings where I am to speak.

3. All sorts of threats are meted out by police and political leaders to scare anyone who refuses to comply.

4. Every time anything that involves the public takes place, the Deputy Prime Minister and certain other quarters will forcefully advise that any criticism, comment or debate should stop.
Actions that are taken or threatened to be taken include sacking, transfer to remote areas like in Sabah, retraction or cancellation of contracts, harassment by the banks, call-up by the police, the Anti-Corruption Agency and other government enforcement agencies, detained and interrogated repeatedly.

A climate of fear has enveloped this country.

No one dares to comment, criticise or oppose anything that is done by the Prime Minister.

In a situation where no one can criticise the Prime Minister, I have to voice my criticisms on matters that do not concern my personal being, but only those that concern the interest of the religion, race and country.

Because of this, I am abused by the Prime Minister's henchmen including component party leaders, the mainstream media that is controlled by Kali and Brendan and all other government apparatus.

The questions and issues I have raised have not been answered. What is being questioned is my right to comment and criticise. Attempts are made to disparage me so badly that I am made out to be of unsound mind. Repeatedly, allegations were made that the administration during my time was worse.

Their media make out that my criticisms of the Prime Minister are despicable and reprehensible.

Muslims should know that even the Imam can be corrected by those he leads in prayers if he reads or does something wrong.

Saidina Abu Bakar, Islam's first Caliph, had asked to be corrected if he did something wrong, not by foreigners but by the Muslims themselves.

But the current Prime Minister cannot at all be commented upon, criticised or advised. He is almost a saint who is free from any human weaknesses or wrongs.

My meeting with him should be kept secret from the rakyat. And because we have met, I can no longer criticise whatever is done by the Prime Minister.

Because of my statement that I would continue criticising if something that is not good for the religion, race and country is done by the Prime Minister, all sorts of condemnations and insults are thrown by these hatchetmen and the mainstream media towards me.

Because all avenue for criticising the government has been shut, therefore I am forced to come up with this written statement so that it is not spun by anyone.

Sincerely,
Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad
Malaysian citizen and commoner
