Five states and an Island.. Way to go, Pak Lah

Not in a million years would Pak Lah could have imagine what 2008 could have brought him. I think he needs to 'mandi bunga' to get rid of the bad feng shui. This year is most probably the worst year that he had ever been in his career. He just lead BN to its worst performing General Election. He lost 5 states to the opposition and now Pulau Batu Putih has gone to Singapore. Many are blaming the Malaysian team for the loss for not presenting their case well. But what makes me piss off is the fact that a very important letter validifying the claim could not be found by the team eventhough they admitted on the existence of the letter. I think Karpal Singh was right by saying that why Malaysia even dare to present the case to ICJ if we do not have sufficient document to defend with. The island is in dispute for 28 years. My assumption is that under Dr M's era, he knew Malaysia could lost the case and therefore he never tries to settle it with ICJ. Just let it be. Better quarrel than losing our sovereignity. And then Pak Lah came along. He blindly accepted Singapore's proposal to settle this with ICJ without knowing we are not well prepared, and wallaah.. we officially lost an Island. In consolation, we get a rock. Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim described the judgment as a "win-win" situation. I agree with that statement, win-win for Singapore.

Snooping Squad or Assasination Squad?

The latest fiasco disclosed by the MCA. It has been alleged that the president of MCA have formed a secret group aka snoop squad to spy on potential enemies of the president. Among the casualties of the snoop squad are Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek. So far, Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting have been denying the accusations. My question is, why name it snooping squad? It will be way much cooler to name the secret group as the assassination squad. During operation time, they will sneak around in a ninja outfit placing hidden cameras and whoosh, they are gone. That will be much cooler that imagining a bunch of old grown men snooping around peeking at hotel rooms or events to see any dirty laundries by their enemies. And by the way, good job guys. At least on the positive note, you have done your work well. As Yoda have said “Named must your fear be before banish it you can.”


Can these be the MCA Snoop Squad?

Malaysia and the Global Climate Change

Malaysia is without doubt a country that is surrounded by seas. The South China Sea and the Malacca Straits to be exact. With all the hype of global climate change what does that got to do with us being surrounded by seas if you might ask. Well, a lot since if the temperature of the world keep on increasing, sooner or later, the ice in the arctic will melt. The after-effect of that is the volume increase of sea water in the world. That would mean some of our Malaysia's land can be submerge underwater by 15-20 years time. Imagine in the future, there is no longer Port Dickson, Langkawi, Tioman and other fantastic beaches that we have. All will be gone by the time we declare ourselves a developed nation. Hmm.. a developed nation with 20% less land mass I suppose.


Just a block of ice but a deadly threat to our future

The climate change is not a conscious matter that we have the option to deal or not to deal with. It is deadly serious and will effect deeply in our lives and our children's lives if we fail to pay attention to it now. Live a more greener life and yes, one person can make a different.
