happenings..

From Tun Mahathir's decision to quit UMNO to Ezam's decision to rejoin UMNO and Dr Tan Kee Kwong's decision to serve for Pakatan Rakyat..Things seem to get complicated every other day.

No matter whether it is National Front or Pakatan Rakyat gov the most pertinent thing is the elected MP's perform their duties. Wasting time on issues that will not benefit the rakyat should be avoided if possible..

Voicing out opinion is acceptable. However critizing other party or any individual is not really the appropriate thing to do. At the end of the day after critisizing each other, other than trying to be more intelligent than the other i dont really see the benefit of perang mulut..

The Bandar Mahkota Cheras issue seems to be unending..

On ICJ's decision and Tun Mahathir quit UMNO aftermath

Pulau Batu Putih was awarded to Singapore while Malaysia got Middle Rocks. Which country will own South Ledge ? For now its fair that both countries own something. Dont want to think what will happen if all 3 were given to one country.

The MP for Jerlun (Mukhriz) is stuck between his dad and the party he belongs to. Loyalty to the party is something good. Loyalty or hanging on to one's personal view. Though personal view can sometimes bring unwanted consequences but if its for the good of a party why cant others try to comprehend the situation....

As a Malaysian, I hope National Front can perform like how it used to perform. Delivering promise and be humble after winning. Rebranding and restructuring will be good BUT the mentality is also important. Now that there is a live telecast from Dewan Rakyat one certainly hope that their elected MP's portrays good attributes.

It has been a few days since Tun Mahathir quit UMNO. As usual MP's have their own say about his decision..Remember how Malaysia managed to overcome 1997 turmoil without borrowing from IMF during Tun Mahathir's time. I simply cannot deny that Tun knows what is best for our country. When he started to blog I was happy to read it. And yet some wonder whether he really wrote the blog..

Lodging police reports seems to be happening so frequently. Is it for publicity ? I wonder...

On Society and Tun Mahathir's decision to quit UMNO

I was at Brickfields yesterday for the Wesak Day celebration. Majority of those who stay in Brickfield are Indians. There seems to be lack of rubbish bin in certain areas. Some buildings badly need to be cleaned up and requires new paint.



Though there was 2 RELA officers on duty, I could still see a few Indians walking around to collect parking money from those who intend to park their vehicle. Mat parking seems to be growing like mushrooms today. I would not mind paying if the parking area has been privatized. But paying to park on a government land...



A few days ago MIC President talked about rebranding MCA. He even requested more PSD scholarship for Indians and a substantial amount of money from the government for equity purpose. I am happy with the parties effort to help the Indian community. However I believe more can be done for the Indian community. The FELDA project in Pahang has helped the Malays to earn a living. Perhaps another project can be established to helped the Indians. Training programs that equipped youth with various skills can also be organized.

Tun Mahathirs decision to quit UMNO was something unexpected. However I believe Tun had his reasons for doing so. Sometimes one loves something and does not want to see it damaged . When they cant seem to do anything to rebuild it then leaving might be an alternative.

today...

The news about YB Bukit Gelugor and his remarks about the reinstatement of the JAIP Director.. when will it end? Making police reports and statements through the media..whatever the outcome will be..As a Malaysian I have always respected the Kings position as the Ketua Agama Islam. Though the king typically does not get involve in politics sometimes politics can involve Islam..

The issue of highway at Cheras is still hanging..Hopefully the Selangor government will settle it as soon as possible...

recently remarks of two YB aroused the anger of disabled. I would like to praise YB Kinabatangan for apologizing to the disabled. MP's must display good conduct. Admit and apologize when you are wrong. They must always remember..their voters elected them..Show good example. Avoid using words that will hurt or misinterpreted.

Establishment of the snoop squad by MCA should have been done earlier..As a rakyat I am curious to know the real scenario. The dismal performance of MCA and now the establishment of snoop squad. Hope that there is transparency in the squad. As a citizen I truly understand that no one is perfect. The most important thing is for MCA to rectify their mistakes.

Politicians from various parties be it National Front or Pakatan Rakyat should deliver their promise to the voters. When promises are not met voters will be dissatisfied. If the promise cannot be fulfilled explain why. Give your reasons. Voters dont want to feel deceived.

the saying " money is the root of all evil" Power too is the root to evil I guess. I believe at this moment position is not the important matter to contemplate about . Think of how to serve your constituents or perform your task effectively. Positions can come later.

The massive rebranding of MIC by its President..Hopefully past mistakes would not be repeated...Deliver your promises, air your views properly and carefully, avoid criticizing other parties of people and record what you have done..This may help a party to remain relevant . The views of young people,bloggers should also be considered

On tolls , food issue and wake up call

There will be a study on highway concessions by the Works Ministry. One of the outcome may be lower toll rates. The number of cars on road is increasing. Toll concessions like PLUS, GrandSaga, Sprint and etc have existed since my childhood days.

Some residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras were guarding at the second toll collection point. With the help of certain equipment they managed to remove the barrier build there. The removal of the block lead to a few outcomes. The traffic has improved since road users need not be caught in congestion. The toll concession company seems disgruntled with this. Trying to stop road users from having a free lunch.Hope this issue will be resolved soon. Not all parties will be satisfied no matter how things end up to be. Without the 2nd toll booth residents returning late from work will certainly be less stressed up. Sales for houses build by the developer may also rise.

The issue of toll never seems to end. Previously toll increase lead to unhappiness among road users. The continuous rise in the price of commodity and supplies followed by increase in price of fixed asset..One certainly cannot imagine how things will be like in near future.

The government has decided to use 4billion for stockpile purpose. So far efforts of BERNAS in ensuring adequate rice for all Malaysians should be commended. But how long will we be able to sustain with the decreasing exports of rice produing countries. Perhaps Malaysians should increase the intake of vegetables and other items. Cut down on rice and wastage . Hotels offering buffet meal may start penalizing those who dont finish their food.

Tun Mahathir's speech in Putrajaya once again reminded politicians to wake up from the political tsunami. As a Malaysian I certainly hope to see changes from the election aftermath. The signal from voters should not be taken lightly. Waste of time talking about matters that does not benefit the "rakyat" can be reduced. Solve matters amicably . Avoid using the legal way if possible. Heed the useful yet timely advice from our premier. I believe he wants what is best for Malaysia.
