Malaysian Po(pular)litics

Politic is all about popularity, and to quote words from someone I dear; "it's all about winning people's heart".

I'm not a politician, and not planning to be. But I do occasionally observe and follow our current political scenario and for me, rather than winning people's heart, our scene is more likely championing people's hatred and resentment; with party's using negative and sometime sensitive issue to achieve their political agenda. They're not interested to serve the people, instead they use them to gain power. Do you think they really care about the grassroot's well-being? Unless it gave them profit, sorry, but I have my doubt.

Ok-lah, lets tone down a bit. Basically our political circus consist of 2 'troupe', the BN coalition (ruling) and Opposition (PAS, DAP, KeADILan, etc.). I'm not describing PKR-Pakatan Rakyat as the whole opposition as BN for the ruling cos for me, they are what I'll call 'conditional coalition', coalition based on current situation, needs, and advantages. Within themselves they still haven't sorted out their beef. 

Too many leaders are in the party, and still they don't have the mutual understanding. If say they succeeded in taking over the parliament, who you think will be the PM? 

Might be Dato' Seri Anwar, but are DAP and PAS just gonna sit and watch...more interesting if they hold more seats..and if PAS hold the power, is DAP going to agree with the 'Negara Islam' policies by PAS...and are we ready to be liberalized like our neighbor Singapore if DAP hold the power.

Not to say that I'm a hardcore BN supporter...they do have their weaknesses and they're not perfect. Nothing is perfect. Even gold is only 99.999 purity. It's how we tolerate the imperfection. 

For me, as a general citizen living under BN government the whole of my life...they are the only one balanced coalition I can think of. They might swayed sometimes, but still moving within the same path.

Corruption, scandals, do you bet that if the Opposition hold the power there will be no more of these things? It's still there, just the culprits will be different. Checking on the track records, I'll rather have known enemies than backstabbing friends.

30 minutes too long

Today i got NBTD (nothing better to do). Ouch, that acronym remind me of a Counter-Strike group that I heard was good back then (back then is a long time ago). Hm...I'm lazy today.Not that before this I'm not, just that today i got nothing much going on. Just completed my report yesterday after a month of the visit...that is going to hurt my KPI haha. So today I just pretending being busy while in fact I just doing no work related job, really.

my work station...sometime used for day dreaming

Ahh...the day almost over...want to go home!!

shadow

shadow is our past
silently be with us
try to run from it
is trying to run from yourself

u might hate it
and try to keep the light away
leaving yourself in darkness

it can't harm u
yet it can haunt u

embrace it
coz nobody can move on
by following their shadows.

JOB - Just Over Broke

How many of you wish you don't have to do anything, yet your income keep coming in?Almost all, I bet. Yet the idea of doing nothing is not as attractive as it might sound. You see, human have this internal feeling of doing sumthing, to have a sense of objective and goals to be achieved. We can't stand to be idle.

The basic flow of human life in this modern world is basically like this:

Birth--->Schooling years--->Working years--->Retirement years--->End

Along the way we get married, get children and granchildren...and all sort of things.

The thing is, too many of us have rigidly subscribed to this dogma of life. Child were emphasized,more often over emphasized to get good grades during their schooling years. Following that, the pressure to get a post in well established company...and cling to it until retirement. We talk about job security, benefits, climbing the corporate ladder,etc,etc.

We've been trained to this dogma and hardly to challenge it. Nowadays however, more and more 'rebels' has ventured into the unconventional road of life. I'm talking about materials, anyway. Today you can be a billionaire while merely finishing your school years. Period taken to amass millions of dollars seems to be getting shorter and shorter.

Whoever don't embrace this oppurtunity will be left behind. Sure, not all will get to the finish line, and there is just so much trophy to be given. It's a race, anyway.

The unrecorded day

Yesterday will be a missing history in my life. Why is it so? Because I sleep all day.Yup, the whole 24 hours..literally. This is my greatest achievement so far in the field of sleeping.

Why do I did it, there's no real reason really. I just feel the need to cut off from reality for a little while. It's been overwhelming this few days, my body is aching, and I've been thinking too much of all things (from the issues of Interlok novel to Amanah Hartanah Bumiputra to current affair of Tunisia to my grassy lawn etc2). It feel's good that I can shut it off for a little while and come back to look for it with a new perspective.

There's no side effect really...just some missed calls and messages on your hp that need to be attended to when you wake up. Maybe a little fight with your gf (if you had one).

Now I feel kinda dizzy...bit of hangover and jet lag...and still try to make sense of the day... -yawn-
