Social Awareness

We sometimes take matters lightly and many people just do not bother about the safety or convenience of others except theirs. This is simply selfish mindset and only a self change can make the society and country a better place to live besides everyone enjoy the facilities without much stress.

The pictures below tells the story of a need for social awareness!

Parking on the roadside kerb or walkways is simply causing inconvenience to pedestrians. With a slight portion of the car jutting onto the main road further causes traffic jam. No excuses for this driver but simply an act of self centred!


Notice that the drains are not properly covered by the local authorities and question remains " What if someone becomes a victim to this shoddy temporary wooden covers?"

The bus stops have been upgraded and metal beam chairs are installed to withstand the rain and shine climate of Malaysia. The seats now have a different purpose when it rains as these youths stood "tall" on the beams perhaps trying to avoid their branded shoes from getting wet!

What about the other commuters who wants the seat later?

Who gets rape?

Being referred as the "BIG CORRUPT LADY" is a rape of character!

Would having a MCA entourage traveling along to various states on tourism funds on political or party purposes not considered corrupt?

It's more like rape of Malaysians!

The Great Escape!

Deteriorating discipline in school had always been a point of contention between the teachers and parents. Whose responsibility to discipline the students remains the question either party would choose to stay non-commital although the teachers would feel that the attitude of the students should be harness from home.

Shouldn't it be a joint effort?

Students of today face stronger peer pressure as compared to yesteryears and due to the materialistic wants e.g. handpohones which pushes them to seek ways of securing the extra cash to purchase the item to keep up with their fellow students besides forming peer groups.

Handphones for example, simple and basic is not acceptable anymore but they demand for feature packed handsets with MP3, higher pixel camera phones, WiFi enabled adn lots more.

Shouldn't the teachers then monitor the students in the schools? The small groups they formed could grow and sets the beginning of peer influence which more requent then not, lower the academic performance of the student and school.

The following pictures reflect the Secondary School students of Kuala Lumpur trying to leave the school event held at Stadium Selayang earlier than the time defined by the school.

The one on the ground (right) had made the maiden leap for the others to follow while encouraging the rest amidst the cheer from "spectators" above who were seen cheering and clapping at the achievement of the the first jumper.

Sensing the loud cheers would alert the teachers, the "first jumper" walks away while the other two tried their luck in leaping out of the at least 10 feet stadium walls with a drain just below them. One of them later sprained his ankle and had to endure a rub down from a fellow "escapee".

Menuju PRU 13, bye bye BN and UMNO!

It's rather interesting how Malaysian Government leaders draw conclusions without thinking and supported by facts which they gladly "blurt" out in the press like this and this!

Would the second article demands a police action for incitement? Had it been an Opposition, police reports, UMNO leaders and NGOs like Perkasa would have jumped out of their sleep to protest everywhere including on the streets (without police arrests)!

Malaysians today make informed decisions based on careful study and analysis due to more information available over the internet. Exposure to books, work and study stints abroad had allowed a more matured thinking society.

The leaders from BN ruling coalition realised this but chose to ignore this fact.

Instead they worked on the a 360 degrees tinkering of law through press control, police reports, corruption investigations, intimidation of opposition or anybody who opposed UMNO in particular. While the other component party are very much silent, it's the folks in UMNO whom are running helter skelter to savage their dwindling support in fear of getting into oblivion.

They had thought pressure from BN or UMNO itself on Opposition would draw flak from the people so they drew an ingenuity approach in getting their some lesser known strong followers to incorporate the many NGOs which had mushroom in Malaysia since March 2008.

More surprisingly, all those NGOs starts championing the rights of Malays and only attacks the Opposition. Amusing?

The more pressing issues which exposes the BN Governments' short comings which affects the nation and taxpayers monies fade conveniently into silence before what they think "rakyat mudah lupa". We still remember the Mongolian lady, PKFZ, JJ butt pinching, jet engines, TBH, Ipoh power snatch (no better than the snatch thieves), VK Lingam, Khir Toyo's palace, Auditor's Reports and the list goes on.

Hey, Najib, Muhyiddin, Ibrahim Ali, PERKASA, Rizal Faris and UMNO, what happened with the above????? Hilang begitu aje? Come on lah!

Let the UMNO leaders be reminded that Malaysians of any race and religion have matured but UMNO still needs all the control they can have to ensure they remained in power which would enable them to suck more nation's monies for their own pocket.

They can win the kampung folks for now but not in the near future as they would be more informed and less "celik IT".

Claiming that Opposition held states have not much development and red-tape bureaucratic holds truth and I had wish Muhyiddin clarify this which includes how the Federal Government squeeze the funding out of the states and the corruption that comes with awarding contracts in less red-tape BN run Government. Explain this please!

Just like MJ's song Man In The Mirror, to all UMNO and UMNO funded NGOs, look at yourself and make that change!

Menuju PRU 13, bye bye BN and UMNO!

btw: 1Malaysia is becoming a total failure

Frogs fit for restaurants!

El Nino is inflicting tremendous climate warming and drought with some towns in Malaysia reported temperature in access of 36 degrees Celcius. Extreme heat and sweating is the call of the day of many who carry out their tasks outdoors and are exposed to the heat.

The severe heat had cause damage to vegetation where rice farmers are to face with lower harvest. Even the "frogs" seem to have taken the cue from the dry weather to jump into "ponds" which promises never to run dry in whatever circumstances.

What we see daily today are the migration of frogs from Nibong Tebal, Penanti, Kulim-Bandar Baru and many more on the verge as claimed by the Terengganu state head of "farmers".

While the river had also dried up and left with hot dry wind, the lalangs around Malaysia seemed to sway much more vigorously. While the lalangs survive the humidity, it's interesting to note that this species lacking in "backbone" would sway towards the direction which promises it a better fertile soil while the wind carries it across Malaysia.

Restaurant operators offering exotic dishes, this situation may present the best moment to catch the frogs and more importantly these frogs does offer a higher value per head compared to those small little frogs.

A "restaurant" operator in Putrajaya was quick to snap those frogs to strengthen his hold on his food business empire in Malaysia and unlikely to reduce his "market share".
