building a hostel or hotel

The Malaysian main stream media (MSM), controlled by the Government agencies have always been blamed for bias reporting. here we see another piece of confusing reporting which readers were kept guessing as to whether they meant a hotel or hostel! (see arrows in red)

Logical thinking would tell it's a hostel but in the land of Malaysia Boleh, anything can happen!

With reports "meant" to confuse readers, it's a no brainer that readership of these MSM had been bombed ever since the channel had been used drastically to promote the Government agenda to counter offensive against the online media used by the Opposition so sucessfully.

With more of such reporting, readership could be reduced much more!

truancy

90% of the workforce population all around the world would tell that how they would wish to be in school again when life is so blissful with no worries of earning income.

Back in school, it's the opposite with students where many would prefer to quickly graduate and get into the workforce despite the many warnings from adults go unheeded. They go against the advice and wanting to be a rebel in school by keeping long hair, tucked out shirts etc.

While truancy is an ever present act of school students which does not seem to end.

Standing outside s secondary school in Kuala Lumpur for about 15 minutes before the school ends allowed me to witness truancy among the students of the school.

The one on the motorbike suddenly appeared from somewhere else instead of the school compound before school ends and rode off hastily after noticing he getting caught on camera.

The other was walking in and out of the school compound with gates guarded by a security guard with another person believed to be a teacher of the school reading newspapers in the guardhouse.

While few others were seating outside the school waiting for school to end and joining the rest to head for home.

It would not take long for anyone to understand now as to why Malaysian education standards had dipped so low and now wonder what the future of the country would be!

you give Malaysia a bad name!

Back in the 80's, songs dedication on the airwaves is something everyone looks forward to and one of the all-time favorite band group would definitely be Bon Jovi rock songs whether slow or fast, it's great listening to the ears.

Retro to what we liked to do then, I would like to dedicate You Give Love A Bad Name to MACC with this silly and despicable blog posting!

Shot through the heart, and your to blame, MACC
You give Malaysia a bad name

An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise Malaysians heaven then put us through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free

You're a loaded gun ... yeah
There's nowhere to run
No-one can save MACC, the damage is done

My take is whatever
MACC corporate communications director Datuk Ahmad Khusairi Yahaya probes and reveals the finding, the irreversible damage is done.

Like the English proverb, "look before you leap" I wonder how such posting could be approved for the anti-graft body's official blog of
www.ourdifferentview.com???

if flying the national flag is for show

August 31st is the independence day of Malaysia and signifies the month long patriotic flag waving for all Malaysians as a display of their love and dedication to the country.

While the date is always celebrated with a mammoth National Day parade, this year's celebrations is reduced to a minimal fanfare as it falls on the holy fasting Ramadhan month of the Muslims.

However, the flying the Malaysian flag is still seen not only at office buildings but on public transport vehicles whizzing along the trunk roads and highways with some 1 ton lorry flying flags bigger then they would be able to.

Would the authorities ignore the danger it poses to the road users in the name of patriotism?

While saying that, the amount of national flags which came off from the mounting on the vehicles are increasing and seen lying on the public roads. Will this pose a danger to road users again and if it was rolled over, would it be considered unpatriotic?

Are the drivers supposed to avoid the flags lying on the road?

For office buildings, the organizations are encouraged to beautify their premises and fly the national flags high especially Government offices. If the idea of flying the national flags are as in the picture above, I would suggest that the company discard totally the embarassment of a torn flag and f;ag touching the ground.

Will the owners of the national flags whenever and wherever you are hanging or flying it, do it with pride as a Malaysian!

Malaysia in Confusion!

This is pretty amusing of Malaysia Boleh!

The "FIRE STARTER" was visibly caught in action by Malaysians but the "EMERGENCY CALLER" was taken to task!

Have the authorities got everything mixed up or was it planned?
