The world will keep on turning.......

Most of the blogs I have visited in the Malaysian blogosphere , especially the biggies MK & MT, are so very critical about Malaysia's incorrigible politicians and government. But all that bashing and bitching has'nt made any impact or effect on those elephant skinned political and government chaps. I doubt that they ever read any of the SoPo (Social-Political) blogs, maybe they have read some of the super-blogs (e.g MT,MK). (MK is not a blog, its an online alternative news web.) So, since this blog won't be seen by the 'leaders' of Malaysia, I can bitch and rant for all I care, and the world will keep on turning, and Pak Lah will still be sleeping, and Najib and Khairy will still be scheming, and Lim Kit Siang will still be provoking, and Anwar will still be avenging, and Umno will still be upholding 'ketuanan Melayu', and Samy Vellu will be blaming every Malaysian Indian but himself, and VK Lingam and his judge buddies will keep on bluffing, and Mahathir will be laughing and on and on and on ....... (fill in as you please) Then..... one day soon, Pak Lah will wake up and rub his eyes and say, ' I have an inspiration. Lets call for elections.'

Farcical RCI

Only in Malaysia, five 'smart' people had to confirm that a certain video clip of that 'correct, correct' lawyer was the real thing. Wonder why my favorite prof is still hanging around with them. To brush up their history knowledge, I suppose. One prominent historical figure, conveniently forgot his own history. One ex-CJ claims to be the target of a stalking lawyer in Kiwiland. One minister (who was mentioned 11 times in the video clip) denied any connections with that lawyer. Said that guy must be loony or sloshed. This minister just 'cleared' a couple of his ministry's staff , suspected of some hanky-panky in South Korea. The way things are going, the cameraman and his dad, could be charged with something and all the rest of the cast can go home and sleep peacefully. By the way, what was the cameraman's dad doing there in the first place. ?

Chua Soi Lek did right

Dr Chua Soi Lek did right by quitting his ministerial and other party posts. His political 'assassin' succeeded in 'killing' his political future. At least, he had the balls to admit his 'mistake' and apologise to those who matter. I won't judge him for his private intimacies. Only the 'holier than thou' types would do that. Hard luck, he was caught unawares by spy-cams. There goes his dirty little secret. We know that there had been several sex scandals involving the powerful and connected . Those bloody cowards would never dare to admit their deeds and are roaming free like good boys. Some are still in the 'corridors of power.' I hope he will 'disappear' somewhere far away for a long long rest, make peace with his family and deal with his 'demons'. Best of luck to you, Dr Chua.

Hajjah Jamilah is back.

Been too happily occupied this weekend to post my blog. On Friday, the person that we (the family and me) missed so very very much returned from her pilgrimage. Shahman,Lina,Shafiq (my youngest son) were at the Bayan Lepas airport to recieve her. At about 1.00 pm, we saw her pushing her baggage trolly out of the gate. We hugged and kissed each other and shed tears of joy. She was overjoyed that her little boy Shafiq was there to meet her. Shafiq just smiled and smiled and hugged his mum. He just overflowed with his affection, snuggling his head in her body and showing every one that she is his mum. Fahmie and Fadzlil stayed home to wait for their mum. Firdaus,Zu and Hasif would come by later in the evening. My sister in-law and brother in-law (biras) returned together with my wife. Their children came to fetch them. I greeted my biras with a hug and kissed his cheeks, just like brothers. I just gave a respectful salam to my sis in-law. I think she would be shocked, mortified if I hugged and kissed her. You see, my wife's family are the conservative 'kampongist' type. My wife seems to have lost some weight, she looks smaller a bit. And she was coughing a lot. People say that most Malaysians who come back from the pilgrimage usually get colds and coughs. The atmosphere and humidity in the Arab Peninsular is dryer and extremely hot by day and extremely colder by night. From news reports and first hand experience of our new Hajjah Jamilah, shukur alhamdulillah no major catastrophe as happened in previous years happened. The Saudi govt had done a good job with the security arrangements. Since our beloved hajjah is still suffering from 'jet-lag', looks like domestic duties cannot be handed over yet, until further notice. To everyone out there Happy New Year 2008. 2008, I'm ready for you. Bring it on.
