Ezam joins leaky ship Umno

Why is all the media making such a big deal of that ex- Youth leader of Parti Keadilan, Ezam Mohd Noor rejoining Umno. Did you see the 'staged' handing over of his membership forms to none other than Captain Paklah of the leaking ship called Umno. One wonders why Ezam wants to join this crew, and why Captain Paklah was so eager-beaver to welcome him with open arms. Ezam said he wants to help Captain Paklah rebuild Umno back to its former stature. Retired skipper Tun Dr M has lost confidence in this new skipper and wants him removed. Can this Ezam do what Tun M has tried vainly to do, to bring back Umno's former glory. My personal view is that, Ezam has all the 'dirty little secrets' of Umno officials in his pocket, so Umno has to take him in, for their own security.

Man overboard !

I just want to add my few sens worth about Tun Dr Mahathir quitting Umno. I don't know if that's a wise decision or some kind of strategy on Tun M's part. Tun, if you don't like the captain, you should'nt jump overboard first, just throw the captain (Pak Lah) overboard without a lifeboat. That is, if you really love your ship and shipmates.

Mothers Day & National Service

Its Mothers' Day today. The world pays tributes to mothers everywhere. As usual the medias will spotlight the 'celebrity moms'. Offsprings expressing their love and affection for the world to view. Meanwhile, in far flung places of the universe, unsung ' heroines ' toil and sweat and bleed to put a decent meal on the table for their young ones. Here, in our own developed country, on Mothers' Day, a mum is broken hearted. Her tears will never bring back her daughter, who she had entrusted with the government program called the National Service Training. That incompetent organisation failed to take immediate action when her 18 year old daughter complained of illness. That poor girl died after suffering her pain for several hours. Before that, 15 (maybe more, I'm not sure) other teenaged trainees, had died during the national service training, set up since 2003 for 5th formers, while waiting for their SPM results. Their mothers are crying too, on Mothers Day. Read what Malaysian Medical Resources blog has to say. Should we allow more of our teenagers to suffer in this failed training program. I want the government to dump this program immediately. I have a daughter who's sitting for SPM this year.I pray that she will not be selected. I wish all mothers, young and old, have a good Mothers' Day. And I advise all children, young and old, especially my own, love , cherish and protect your mom, as she is the only one you'll ever have.

Tun Dr M Go Blog

Former PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed has joined the blogging community. Read what he said about the government's plan to set up a Judicial Commission on appointment of judges. There's a lot for Pak Lah to ponder upon. I'm going to visit there quite often. Should be very interesting.
