  Leveling The Playing Field

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  The playing field has now being leveled. YB Karpal Singh was investigated by the authority on reports of menghina DYMM Sultan Perak.
  
  PKR and DAP also filed a police report that YAB PM also did the same to the KDYMM Yang di-Pertuan Agong. I dit not see any report about it in the MSM or maybe I overlooked.
  
  

  Quoted from Harakahdaily: "Abdullah telah membuat kenyataan akhbar yang disiarkan di akhbar-akhbar utama bertarikh 24 Mac 2008 sebagaimana yang disertakan (The Sun) yang mendakwa kononnya YDPA telah membuat suatu tindakan yang tidak mematuhi perlembagaan," kata Ketua Pemuda KeADILan, Samsul Iskandar Mat Akin pula.

  Pada masa yang sama, ujarnya pemimpin, ahli dan penyokong Umno Terengganu juga telah membawa sepanduk bertulis 'Kami Ndak Idris, Natang' sewaktu demonstrasi menolak pelantikan Dato' Ahmad Said sebagai Menteri Besar Terengganu.

  Malaysians will be watching. Will the authority act as fast on the report on PM as they did towards YB Karpal. The playing field is going level.

  Crossover- Nobody Remembers The Past

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Todays hot pick is about MPs who can be prostitutes errr, I mean political prostitutes. Its all about crossovers. BN looks as if there is going to be a quake that can change history of Malaysia.
  
  It has become a big issue because it involves opposition accused of buying over BN MPs. Did anybody esp from BN who are trying to buy over DAP Adun fron Perak and PAS Adun in Kelantan when they are one seat away to topple the PAS government. Oh, nobody remembers because its BN doing the dirty job.

  Lingam Tape- The Sequel?

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Seems that The Lingam Tape has not ended the storyline. Today YB Lo GB exposed that what was exposed and been investigated by the Royal Commission of Inquiry is just 20-30% of the whole recording. It is being kept somewhere in China and lets hope it was not destroyed during the recent earthquake in Chengdu.
  
  Now many Malaysian will be anxious to know whether the sequel will be released or not.

  KTM - Ketibaan Tidak Menentu

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  It is frustrating when you want to get a public transport in Kuala Lumpur to go from one place to another. If you wave a taxi, you have to ask whether he can go to where you want to go. It is upside turn when the situation is the taxi (as the server) will have to take you to where you want to go. Taxi service in Kuala Lumpur (maybe somewhere else too) just does not live up to expectation and many of the drivers have the guts to demand from the government for better treatment.
  
  I seldom take the transitlink and can't blog about the service. Now most of my travel is on LRT since I am lucky that my home is not far from the LRT station. However once I wanted to go to Midvalley and that means I have to change from LRT to KTM communter at Bandar Tasik Selatan. When I arrive at the station there were many commuters waiting and when I asked how long will the next train will arrive the answer is so unexpected. He has been waiting for nearly two hours and still the train has not arrived. Compared the train towards Seremban he said there has been already six commuter train passing the station and from Seremban has been hours. No wonder whenever a train arrives, commuters rush in without waiting for those who wanted to disembark.
  
  Today The Star carry this story. Read also HERE.
  
  So can KTM still be called Keretapi Tanah Melayu? Or a better name as Ketibaan Tidak Menentu.

  An Email From Greenpeace

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  I receive an email from shijuchitra. It is about helping save the turtle. Read below.
  
  

  Hi ,

  I've just written to Ratan Tata asking him to not to go ahead with building a port in Dhamra, Orissa, dangerously close to one of the world's largest sea turtle nesting grounds for the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. I think its a good idea for Mr. Tata to move the port to another location rather than endanger the turtles.

  By living up to the Tatas' environmental legacy, Ratan won't just save the highly-endangered Olive Ridley Turtles, he will also end up making Tata a better company.

  The only problem is that I can't bring about that change alone. I need help from lots of people, especially you.

  Please do what I've done. Write directly to Ratan by clicking here

  Thanks a million,

  Go to GREENPEACE.

  The Saga

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Earlier this year Proton released its latest model, the return of the Saga which was the first model by a local car company. Its the Saga BML and a mistakable look will resemble a shinked Merc.
  
  The resident of Bandar Mahkota Cheras faced a different Saga. They are facing the Grand Saga, the concessionaire for the Kajang-Cheras highway. Thing has become heated since the resident of the new housing township tear down the barricade, which is the only access road to the highway. This lead to the latest issue of law enforcer have to use teargas and water cannons. Seems that they are still practising partisan and loyal to their defeated side the BN. It is sad to still have law enforcers and who is responsible to keep peace. By taking sides how can they be peace keepers as duty of peace keepers is to see that both sides uphold the peace. When PDRM take sides they have breached their responsibility and making the other side felt an unfairness had taken place by someone who are supposed to look after their safety. In sports they will be accused as pengadil berat sebelah.
  
  I was not at the location but from reports and past experience of police partisan towards BN especially when involving opposition I can see the unfairness had taken place.
  
  Why do the resident of Bandar Mahkota Cheras have to be forced to take a longer route and pay toll when they have access road which is shorter. BMC is not the only new township that have to use the Kajang-Cheras Highway to Kuala Lumpur. There are many more housing estates along the highway such as Cheras Perdana, Bandar Tun Hussien Onn, residents of Balakong etc that uses the same junction to access the highway without having to go through Batu 11 toll plaza. It is unfair for residents of BMC who were forced by Grand Saga to pay toll when they have the choice of not having to do so.
  
  I am not a resident of BMC but I support the effort of the community in pressing for their right. They have no alternative but to use the highway and going through the toll both when they should be given toll free road after the Cheras-Kajang highway is upgraded to a tolled highway. It is daylight robbery on the part of Grand Saga.

  Avoid use of "Ketuanan"

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  The hot topic now is the issue of YB Karpal Singh insulting the Sultan and the Agong which followed by PM asking to make police report. Why not he himself make a police report because the report will have more strength if made by a PM.
  
  When in Terengganu and Perlis UMNO leaders show disagreement which equals to derhaka towards the Sultan and the Agong for nomination of MBs, the case has been laid to rest. It is worse in Terengganu when the word natang were used which is very rude towards the Sultan. No action? No police reports?
  
  Ong Tee Kiat urged the term ketuanan are not to be used because it has a negative connotation. The term ketuanan is used by UMNO widely when they felt that the Malay rights has been encroached. Anybody from UNMO want to say anything?

  It Doesn't Pay To Get Publicised?

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Publicity increase one's popularity. Many people love to get publicity in all way possible. With publicity one gets known and more people will know you. But at times publicity results otherwise. A case of Pak Mali who get publicity from Harian Metro result in him losing his shelter.
  
  Pondok seluas kira-kira 20 meter persegi itu agak kukuh dan terletak di belakang deretan bangunan kedai berhampiran terminal feri.
  
  Hashim yang lebih dikenali dengan panggilan Pak Mali, berkata pondok itu tidak mempunyai bekalan elektrik, tetapi cahaya lampu bangunan kedai berhampiran sudah cukup menerangi kediamannya.
  
  “Malah, pemilik bangunan kedai berhampiran pula bermurah hati membekal air bersih dan saya menggunakan tandas kedai mereka,” - MyMetro.
  
  Pak Mali or Hashim Awang who has been living on a tree house for the past four years lost his home when the tree where his house was located were chopped down by the Kangar Municipal Authority. It was reported in New Straits Times today.
  
  His only wish was to spend his twilight years in his tree house after his wife died two years ago. On Wednesday afternoon that dream was shattered when his home was demolished by the Kangar Municipal Council.
  
  The 65-year-old masseur could only sit and watch helplessly as the giant excavator tore down his home.- NST.
  
  Hashim initially used his tree house as a resting hut when he worked as a fisherman. He would change his clothes and take naps there after returning from sea every afternoon.
  
  Hashim said he did not know what he planned to do next.
  
  "All I wanted was to live in the tree house by myself. Some friends have invited me to stay with them, but I don't know what to do,"
  
  Council president, Faezan Omar said the tree house was an illegal structure and that Hashim had agreed to vacate it. -NST
  
  Maybe the tree house is illegal but the three is still legal. Then why cut down the tree when only what is on the tree is illegal. So, if a building were to be used for illegal activities or any unlicensed business which deem to be illegal, will the whole building be demolished too?

  Post Election's Malaysian Unity

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Year 2008 should be engrave into the history annals of our beloved country. The 12th GE not only show that the religious and race barrier has been pulled down but unity of Malaysians has been carved. RPK, the Malaysia Today publisher is behind bar after refusing bail and his detention has led to another show that race and creed in Malaysia should be a thing of the past.
  
  At Sungai Buloh prison the temporary shelter for RPK, bloggers and supporters held a vigil and those attended does not care which bangsa RPK is from. Watching the video makes me get goosebumps because the true Malaysia is present among Malaysians. The video HERE.

  Bad Incident Is a Blessing Too

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Whenever someone face hardship or difficulty, most will sit back and wondering why is God unfair to him or her. He/she will forget easily that whatever happens in his/her life is Gods creation and there is a blessing in it irrespective whether it is in favour of him/herself or not. A Muslim MUST believes in Qada and Kadar. Fate that is being agreed upon by oneself before being born into this world. Thats the reason for accusing nature for most incidents that happens and the popular tag "Act of God" has been taken as a joke to many Malaysians emulating someone who created that tagline.
  
  Recently I was on my way to Shah Alam through KESAS Highway. My fuel meter shows a fuel warning that the tank must be filled. I decided to stop and fill at the Awan Besar R&R because there are three petrol stations at the location. Unfortunately all the three stations were not doing business eventhough it is open. I think there was a power failure and the pumps can be operated. So the question should petrol stations have standby generators? Maybe a common generator to be shared by a few businesses which is more economical than an individual genrator.
  
  I moved on and planning to fill up at another station near Proton before exiting into Shah Alam. However I was unfortunate because after the Sunway Toll Plaza the engine starts choking and dies off. Just a few minutes after stopping, a KESAS Ronda vehicle came and they offered to buy petrol for me. I oblighed. While waiting I open up the bonnet and found out that there is a leak at the power steering pump. Upon checking the power steering oil, it was near empty. If the car had not stalled, I would have not knew about the leak and further driving might dry up the power steering mechanism which will result in a more costly repair.
  
  The pump cost RM 220 with RM40 or labour and things are fixed.
  
  That is what I consider as a blessing. The empty fuel tank lead me to detect a leak in the power steering pump and save me a heavier repair bill. Is that not a blessing in disguise?
  
  The morale of the incident is, NEVER accuse God of whatever bad things happens to you. Take it positively just like the belief that when someone becomes ill or suffer pain, its sign that God loves you. He wash away some of your sin on this world before you move on to the afterworld which is forever.

  News Of The Day = RPK

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  Most bloggers today blogs about RPK and his refusal of being bailed. Even his detention was brought up in parliament by YB Kim Kit Siang. Malaysia Today reports that supporters had come together and donated a sum of RM 24,500 in CIMB account and USD 4,330.10 (approximately RM 15155.35 based on x 3.5) . It is more than enough to bail him out. The amount donated (>RM39,000) should open the eyes of many. It just show how many people wish to see the true Malaysia. The 8th March tsunami was not the end of the peoples outcry but the after effect still play as the undercurrent.
  
  RPK has been one of the source for most Malaysians who has lost confidence in MSM's and hence come to support him during his times of difficulties.
  
  RPK according to reports refused to pay bail and from Sg Buloh prison refused to see anyone including his wife Marina Lee Abdullah. I am sure everybody is curious to know what really happen. Did he really denied meeting anyone or being denied? Updates 1247 HERE.
  
  What's in RPK's mind is everybody's wonder. Is he expecting to have lunch or dinner with Razak Baginda? Is he trying to prove that freedom does not equals RM? Whatever his reason for not wanting to post bail and denied meeting everyone will subsequently leave more stones to be upturned.

  Walk With RPK : One Ringgit One Person

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  
  Yes, I pick out the tittle from Malaysia Today. And I copied and post below from the same source. Just whistle blowing. Please don't sue me for infringement of copyright.
  
  

  PLEASE we only need RM1 from you, nothing more.

  RPK expresses his sincere thanks to all of you in helping him to get through this.

  "ONE RINGGIT ONE PERSON" RPK's court bail donation can be deposit into this account:

  Bank: CIMB

  Account No.: 1403 0214 3340 5

  Account Name Holder: Visvalingam
  

  note: account number corrected, the account number given by Marina Lee (RPK's wife)

  updates 1045: we are waiting for RPK to approve on using PayPal Donation -- RPK approved at 1105.

  updates 1231: RPK's bail out set to RM5,000.00 - total PayPal Donation as at now $758.72 USD / it shoud be enough when we combine with the donation at CIMB account. THANK YOU MALAYSIAN!

  I'll perform my obligation tonight due to work constrain but maybe there is already enough money to bail him out. So, whatever balance let's start a bloggers fund for future cases like this, so bloggers can be bailed out immediately before going to Sungai Buloh.

  Jabatan Pembangunan Persekutuan Is Wasting Public Funds

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  It started in Sabah in the 80s when it was ruled by the opposition. The practice is then forwarded to Kelantan, also another opposition ruled state. Now there will be JPP in all opposition ruled states with the new inclusion of Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor. Not Sure about Kuala Lumpur.
  
  The aim of the JPP according to Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan, Minister of Housing and Local Authority, is to channel federal funds.
  
  "Dahulu semasa negeri negeri ini di bawah pentadbiran yang sama, mereka mempunyai pegawai pembangunan negeri untuk menguruskan dana persekutuan dan negeri.
  

  "Tetapi kini negeri negeri ini kesemuanya di bawah pemerintahan pembangkang, kerajaan persekutuan perlu menubuhkan Pejabat Pembangunan untuk mengendalikan dana persekutuan," katanya kepada pemberita selepas melancarkan perayaan Hari Bomba dan Penyelamat hari ini. -mStar.
  

  So what if those states are ruled by the People's Alliance? They are legitimate government officially elected into office by the people of the respective states. As Malaysians every citizen have the right to Federal funds irrespective whether its BN or PA. All those monies belongs to the people through economic transactions and tax. As Federal funds whoever holds the office have to disburse them through the proper channel so that it is well spent. However BN think it is their money and only BN know how to spend the money wisely. Shit!!.
  
  The various state government is the machinery at the state level regardless of political beliefs but why they have to be discriminated when they are the chosen one by the people.
  
  Forming the JPP is a sheer waste of public fund. New officers and staffs have to be recruited. New office has to be set up which will include daily, monthly and yearly budget. Is it not a waste when the allocation can be channeled somewhere else for the benefit of more Malaysians?
  
  If all these while BN has been lambasting that the opposition does not know how to administer the government, why not give them the money for the next four years and let them prove themself instead of tying up their feet and ask to run the mile and binding their hands asking them swim the butterfly stroke.
  
  The setting up of the JPP is just depriving and not accepting the people's right and choice. Then on the eve of the next election they will go round telling that the opposition has not done anything for the people. How can they when they were not given the grant due to them or playing the delaying tactics.

  @ CIJ and BENAR Function

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  I feel proud to be present at both function at the Annexe Central Market even though I am not a journalist. I am helping making Malaysia a more democratic nation and after 8th March, our job is still not done. The ruling party will pull out everything in the pandora's box in ensuring that the 5 states under PA's rule will not succeed.
  
  I am just an ordinary voter, however I have to play my small part in nation building and since I am blogging, I need an independent voice too. So both the event is fruitful to me and hope the fight for more transparent and level playing field media will end up with success.
  
  It is an uphill task to change the 50 years habit of Malaysian and her leaders who are complacent enough with their power for so long. We need to change for a better Malaysia and one aspect that need to be changed is Freedom of Voice. Voice of Malaysians who are for such a long time were swept under the carpet for fear that someone might loose power.

  No Streamyx And Celcom 3G Sucks

   » ‎ Xperience of life
  I have been without Streamyx at home for the past three weeks and today Friday 2nd May will be my 4th Friday without my Streamyx. No!, not because I did not pay my bills but something is wrong with my line I think. My status bar shows the Sent Packets is in thousands but the Receive Packet is less than 50, which means I receive just peanuts from Streamyx. I called the suppose to be techies at TMnet once but the answer is that my line is working properly on their side. I thought it was my ADSL modem but when I used the modem provided by TMnet when I subscribed the same problem persist. So it is not the modem problem. My phone line not working? But there are incoming calls : so it is working. Now for the past month I had paid my monthly subscription just for nothing. I know TMnet will not accept my reason for not getting to connect to the internet.
  
  I subscribe to Celcom 3G at RM 68 for unlimited usage. But the service also sucks. I have to wait for ages to download even one page on my screen. Besides the more than a snail pace slow downloading, it gets disconnected occasionally. I am getting fed up and this is what we are getting from our Broadband services. And we have the guts to boast that we have the MSC.
  
  What is worth as a blogger, I can't even get logged on to blogger website and even my Gmail. Oh!!! this really sucks.
