Terima Kasih Google and Bersih4

Hadiah Google untuk hari kemerdekaan Malaysia yang ke - 58. Terima kasih, Google :)


Bersih4

29 dan 30hb lepas telah berlangsung di pertengahan KL

Luahan saya mengenai acara ini


  • Terima kasih kepada PDRM kerana 'menjaga' peserta dan tidak bertindak gila-gila macam biasa.
  • Terima kasih kepada pasukan Bersih dan sukarelawan mereka kerana menjaga keselamatan dan ketertiban acara ini, esp insiden satu dua yang provokasi
  • Mungkin ini satu titik pembaharuan dalam arena politik negara, tetapi banyak lagi yang perlu dilakukan khususnya pada masyarakat luar bandar dalam menyedarkan mereka tentang hak mereka sebagai rakyat
  • Paradigma Melayu baru yang perlu difikirkan- sikap terhadap kaum bukan Melayu - Cina dan India, yang tidak lari ke negara lain, tetapi tinggal di sini. Generasi ke-2 ke atas, nak tak nak,they are here to stay. Ramai yang datang acara Bersih4, kalau tengok pada gambar2 merupakan golongan muda.
  • Kepada yang pergi dan tidak pergi, terimalah perbezaan pendapat masing-masing.
  • Tun M, sangat pandai. Hijack event sebab dia nak Najib turun. Kepada yang betul-betul ikut perjalanan politk beliau, ini tidak mengejutkan. Beliau pandai mengambil peluang. "Saya tak sokong Bersih, saya nak Najib turun." Dengarlah semua orang kepada kata2 beliau di mamak sekitar CM. Dulu tak boleh, sekarang ok ya, Tun? Melayu mudah lupa ....

Saya? Saya sokong Bersih4. Dan saya akan pastikan menzahirkan sokongan itu pada PRU yang akan datang. Kepada yang menyokong/membangkang/neutral, anda telah daftar sebagai pengundi? jika tidak, anda hanya tong kosong yang berbunyi kuat aja ...

Banyak lagi yang kita harus lakukan untuk memakmurkan negara kita .... most of us are not going anywhere ...

Yang pasti, pemimpin harus diingatkan bahawa mereka dilantik dan bertanggungjawab kepada orang yang mereka pimpin, bukan menjadi 'sultan' atau 'maharaja' selepas dilantik.

The Beginning Of The End ?

The recent announcement of the Lingam report might be the start of the end of for Tun M. Well, whatever is the wayang kulit is going on .. I see a subtle shift in Pak Lah's tactics, in the way that he is slowly revealing the failings of Tun M's PM administration in order to divert attention from his own failings.

It might work , might not work ... but is Pak Lah turning into our own 'Habibie' ? ... the signs are there and rightly, a lot of UMNO folks are worried. But, they should take heart in seeing how GOLKAR ( Indonesia ) is still around, even though they are not in power. But, what UMNO needs right now is a real, no red herring, transformation, or they might be irrelevant sooner or later. What I would suggest is that they look to PAS on how it transformed itself after the 2004 elections.

Malaysian politics is getting more and more interesting nowadays ... ;-)

My Country + The Future

I am worried about my country ...

I see
.. dumb politicians who do not know what they are saying, aka The Law Minister
.. the lower class people ( poor ) beginning to be angry about their current situation ( fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to Dark Side )
.. overwhelming force used against peaceful people while the crooks ( rapist, thieves, murderers ) walk around

and there are others ....
 
When the GE comes around, please vote responsibly !! It has been 50 years la since Merdeka. Surely we can ask the elected reps to be more ACCOUNTABLE.

PDRM Big Day

Today the PDRM had their 200th celebrations at Dataran Merdeka. I saw it on the news earlier ... it was okay la .. with all the pomp and pageantry.

The Star had a few good stories about them today. Among them ...
1) IGP request raise
2) Tales of Survival
3) Old Cop Tales

No 1) I am all for it. Their job is thankless
No 2 ) A note indeed, but the picture that was used was not convincing. Drinking while sitting on the floor, but did you notice the tv and furniture ?
No 3 ) I salute you sirs....

There are bad cops and good cops, admittedly. And I had a fair share of both of em, let us give them benefit of the doubt. I am sure there are more good than bad ones. I like what this writer said in his letter about PDRM.

To the ones who do really serve, Terima Kasih tuan :-)

ps / Gerak Khas cops actually exist .. on the tv that is :D
