The duality of life visited me today. Not an apparation, not subtle, but hard, like a truck, it hit me in the face.

The story goes as there was a lady, who is in her mid-fourties was seated on the mrt on a seat marked “priority seat”. Priority seats for the elderlies, the pregnant, and the disabled, or any others with special needs.

First came a toddler, who stood near the seated lady. The toddler was swaying as the train started to move. The seated lady, kind hearted as she was, offered her seat to the toddler.

The refusal from the toddler and his mother subjected this story to continue.

Then came a man, also in his fourties/fifties. His abrupt appearance suggested a sense of urgency. He tried to motion for the seated lady to give up her seat to him. She feigned deaf. Thus he touched her on the fingers to get her attention, then point towards the sign overhead, while claiming his legs were apparently not as sturdy as they might seem.

And… she refused. Citing that her finger is in pain. Which to anyone in plainsight, a concocted lie. He counterargued that a finger in pain is irrelevant to seats. The seated lady just return her gaze to somewhere else. The man was ignored. The 2 young ladies who were seated beside the dreaded “priority stopped their conversation and pay heed to the commotion that was about to erupt.

As swiftly as the encounter begin, it had ended. The man left from that row of seat to another priority seat in another row, begging to the seated person to let him have the seat instead. The person obliged with no time to waste. Thus the man-with-the-pain-in-the-leg finally got his apparently deserved seat.

Flashes of regret and shame crosses the face of the seated lady as she texted on her mobile phone -using her hand which was in pain moments ago.

Who is at wrong? The lady for her refusal to give up the seat? But didn’t she displayed kindness initially? Was it the man’s fault for being brash and intrusive? Or was it the 2 young by-seater ladies?

Any slight change in any event would’ve avoid all those insanity. If the man would be more polite, or if the lady would’ve considered the implication that if the man’s leg was indeed hurting, or if any one of the ignorant young ladies would’ve given their seat voluntarily, or if I was also seated. Any of the choice above would’ve avoided this episode that have marred my otherwise wonderful day.

When I was younger, I often complained to my fav teacher about how tired it is to attend school and other additional activities. She counter-asked me “You sure you are tired?”

I nodded my head.

Then she told me she knew of the only place where I can get rest from. Then she proceed to draw a tombstone. She told me that we can only rest when we’re in our grave.

As i grow older, I feel more tiring. As life moves on like a boring film, I felt more tired. Sometimes I wonder if I can really be relieved of these feelings when I die. Or maybe I will feel more tired and more bored being caged in a coffin and can’t lift a finger.

Or maybe it is true, that life just goes on, and sleep cannot even replenish or provide ample rest for our mind.

That being said, wouldn’t it be good to be able to die, then rise again? Like Jesus the zombie?

Extrapolating from that fact, shouldn’t zombies feel utterly refreshed when they die and then awake again? Why do the zombies in movies depict them all tired and slow and mindless? If I am a zombie who died and wake again, I will be running around, jumping high and low while biting human heads off after my morning cup of blood.

Extending from there, couldn’t mindless zombies be pretty? Why must zombies be depicted as headless, or with loads of sores and peeled skins and bite marks and blood and gore? Couldn’t infected human turn into angelic pretty zombies (though mindless?). That would probably be an interesting development as people might even consider getting bitten voluntarily to ‘join’ the zombies. (hey, who doesn’t want a free facelift?)

Zomg — Handsome/pretty looking, strong, fast, mindless brains-eating zombies sounds like a far more dangerous breed than the current ones.

Ah, what a fun way to look at things from different perspective.

Let me get back to my monotonous zombitic worklife for now.

I refer to the report on the following link by The Stars, a leading newspaper/propaganda in Malaysia.

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/11/16/nation/5118117&sec=nation

[quote]

A TEENAGER, raped and impregnated by her younger brother, has been forced to skip school and live in a shelter home until she delivers her baby, Metro Ahad reported.

The 15-year-old girl from Kuala Lumpur, who was supposed to sit for her PMR this year, said she was raped by her 14-year-old brother four times the past year.

“When everyone was asleep, he would sneak into my room. He shut my mouth using his hand and threatened to hurt me if I made any noise. He raped me as if he was possessed,” she said.

She said she did not have the strength to fight back, adding that he threatened to more than harm her if she told anyone.

Her parents took her to the clinic when they noticed her becoming ill and weak.

“I told my mother everything. When we came home, they confronted my brother and he confessed to raping me,” she said.

She added that her brother had always been naughty and had fallen in with Mat Rempit and started to skip school.

Her parents sent her to the shelter home when they found out she was pregnant.

“I will stay here until my baby is born. Then I will give it up to a foster family. After this, I want to start a new life and go back to school like other youngsters my age,” she said.

She added that her brother had been sent to a religious school.

[/quote]

So, first thing first. Oh yes, so now we know for sure that people that goes to religious school are usually not really that religious anyway.

Secondly, assuming this newspaper publishes only facts, then this constitutes to a criminal act. The mat-rempit rapists should be convicted to court, yet there is no action taken by police? Aren’t the police suppose to put rapists in to prison? Or in this case, since the rapist is juvenile, to the boys’ rehabilition centre? Or is it simply a case of bogus story posted on a major news portal?

Sigh, or perhaps we should just live with the way it is. But a few pointers to learn here then:
1. Do not believe all newspaper.
2. If you are mat rempit, rape your sister and boasts about it in mat rempit convention organized by UMNO’s leaders.
3. Mat rempits need not go to jail.
4. Mat rempits can be religious officers/ priests.
5. Rapists can go to religious school instead of jail.
6. Malaysia is a wonderful place for criminals.

**Glossary: Mat rempits - Teenagers/ Youngsters who races with scooters or cheap motorcycles and does stunts on the road during the night. Some of these thrill seekers will be involved in road rage, robbery, thieving and raping. Most of the participants are Malays. Mat Rempits are considered an icon and is encouraged by Malaysian Government as “expressive” individuals gather for useless (and dangerous) activities.

Account 1:

Today is the day for the celebration. It’s the celebration of the birth of the Deity! I arrived at the meeting point at 7.45am,a whole 15 minutes before the designated time. Some other Chosen-ones arrived earlier than me, though none were later than 8am. We are glad that we were chosen to serve Him in this major event. Everyone was trembling with excitement.

We managed to set up the stage within 2 hours. The offerings that each of us brought we placed on the stage as we await for the arrival of the auspicious time. The roasted piglet that I donated sits proudly in the centre of the stage. Fresh fruits decorated the sides of the stage. The Gods will definitely smile upon us for the effort we put in.

People started to pour in at about 1pm as they get warmed up for the arrival of the God to mark the opening ceremony of the Festival. The medium is already seated on the throne, all the preparation is set. Now we wait.

Account 2:

Yay! Today is a day for celebration! There are so many gifts and donations pouring in that the temple will be able to sustain its operation for at least another half a year.

The Chosen-ones really are devout, and are very amicable and helpful in setting up the venue. If not for their voluntary help, this would probably cost a bomb. Luckily they believe in God so much so that they are willing to help no matter the cost. What would I do without them!

I shall put on a good show and play my part in firming their faith and giving them strength to carry on their duties in life. I am not a crook, I need money to run the temple, I need to continue supplying faith to these believers, I will continue to play my part to help them.

There is no time to doubt my actions, the Gods, if they exists, will understand me. I will have to concentrate and prepare for the Acts that are to follow. I have rehearsed for this before, it will be perfect.

Account 3:

Oh my god, what a splendid sight! The sun is warm and not a cloud in the sky. The stage gleamed under the bright rays. Today’s celebration is definitely going to be a success. I shall pray to the Gods and hope that this year be a fruitful and healthy year for my family.

I paid 5 dollars for the joss-sticks and proceed kneel and say my prayers. I hope that the Gods will answer my prayer.

Account 4:

Crap. What a hot weather it is today. My t-shirt is already wet with sweat.

Oh the stage, what an obscene amount of ‘donations’. I bet the temple’s owner/ God’s medium is smiling deep within his heart for the success of the lies he perpetuates.

Look at the number of volunteers running around providing free labours. These people who hired maids for their daily chores are now providing these services voluntarily. Mass hypnoticism really works. Sigh.

The amount of joss-sticks and praying-materials that they burn to submit as offering to the ‘gods’ are adding more carbon footprints and polluting the earth further more. The amount of resources wasted at this ‘magic’ show is making me sick.

I can’t take this anymore. I will request my friend to conclude his prayers here and leave with me before I puke.

Account 5:

Oh my, what is happening down there. Celebrations? My birthday? I thought my birthday was not for another 4 months?

Bloody medium imitating me for profit again. If not for these shackles, I am sure I will make him hurt real bad. Stupid stupid human. Some cheat, some believe, some follow, some know but decides to keep to themselves.

They say earth is round, from my point of view, earth is retarded. Stupid stupid human.

A little background:

Teoh Beng Hock was an Opposition politician. He was summoned to Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to cooperate in an investigation against his superior (also Opposition politician) against an alleged case of misuse of public funding of RM2400. The witness was interrogated (not interviewed) for more than 10 hours. After which his body was found splattered below the MACC office. The MACC officers said that he was released from the interrogation before he fell to his death. However, his phone was still in the possession of the officer.

I know that there are many many many posts out there to speculate on how and why and when did Teoh Beng Hock die. I am not going to ask those questions. What I am interested in is that why is there such a unanimous voice from ruling party, opposition and public to request for a Royal Commission of Inquiry on the matter.

First thing first, why would we need a Royal Commission of Inquiry? Obviously, it is because the public needs/wants to find the ‘truth’ behind the incident. Which leads to the next question: Why would the police’s investigation insufficient? Obviously, it is because the public deem police to be inefficient and untruthful when uncovering truth. Linking these facts together, the unanimous voice of supporting for a Royal Commission of Inquiry from the ruling party, opposition and public shows that all these parties do not trust police. Then THE questions would be: Who trusts Malaysian police? Which Malaysian does not fall under ANY of these 3 categories? Why is there still a need for an ‘untrusted’ police force?

My suggestion might be far fetched under current circumstances where the elites in Malaysia are only interested in protecting their interest/evildoing, but I believe it is time for a complete overhaul of Malaysian police force. Fire all the officers and admin staff and police leaders; re-hire a group of carefully selected individuals that would fit into a Royal Commission of Inquiry. Neat but impossible idea. (I am just a pessimist)

The next trend that I notice is that many people are concerned for this case, and these people wants to truth to be found and the perpetrators be tried under law, and these people can be classified under these categories:

1. The victims (immediate family members and friends)

2. The opposition supporters (blind supporters to accuse ruling party at every opportunity)

3. The curious

4. The sympathizers

Assuming the rabbit hole goes deep with link to the elite ruling class, I fail to understand why some elite ruling class would agree to the Royal Commision. Why would one shoot a hole on his boat to drown the perpetrator with himself abroad? Not to say that there are no people with genuine conscience in the elite ruling group, but I dare believe that most of these people who voice out, did so out of fear. They fear they might be the next one. Yes, this is the point, under such disgustingly corrupted system, anyone could die and the death unanswered if continued in this manner. If you do not stand up now, there might be none left to stand up when it is your turn.

Now is the time, do something, be it signing a petition because you are lazy or far away from Malaysia:

http://www.petitiononline.com/j4bhmacc/

or if you’re free and brave, attend the Justice for Teoh Beng Hock (quoted from Malaysia Today):

22 July (Wednesday)
8 pm: Justice for Beng Hock Solidarity Gathering Malacca DAP Headquarter

23 July (Thursday)
8 pm: Justice for Beng Hock Solidarity Gathering Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, KL

or send in emails to the people in charge, be it Prime Minister of Malaysia, or Head of MACC or Head of Police, just be polite and send in emails to pressure them to do their job. Who knows, numerous heartless bastards were known to change for the better under pressure. Your email might just tilt the scale.

Malaysians are renowned for their love for celebration; we should be humble and reflect on mourning too. Let the truth be known. Rest in peace Mr. Teoh.

Project: Dolly
Objective: Clone Dolly the sheep
Procedure:
1. Put some cells in test tube
2. Shake test tube
3. Wave a wand
4. Feed Dolly
Precaution: Dolly bites
Outcome: The experiment is a success. Dolly is successfully created.

Project: Adam

Some asks, what is the meaning of life. I say, ask Dolly. Human doesn’t ‘play-god’, but rather, God ‘play-human’ on the day that he created us. Mischievous as the kid next door, curious as a Scientist.

If god exists, then we’re screwed.

“Based on these observations, the Government is confident that Mathematics and Science should be taught in languages understood by students, which is Bahasa Malaysia in national schools, and Chinese and Tamil in the respective vernacular schools,” he said.

quoted from “The Star” **

Funny, I though schools are suppose to teach what is suppose to be unknown to the students.

In Malaysia, when a public issue arise, fingers must be pointed at different direction, which surprisingly (from my observation) ALWAYS point to the wrong direction. It does little to help people second guess the ‘unintention’ of missing the point.

Lets see, from this argument, it is said that Science and Math should be taught in languages known by the student. Which is obviously true. For example, if I am a person who only speaks English, trying to make me understand rocket science in French probably wouldn’t work. However, the statement made by deputy prime minister of Malaysia assumed that students in Malaysia do not fully understand English. So? Should the ministry not then teach English in a more effective way?

Some of you might stop reading here and think that the issue is being handled by the extra English classes promised by the Education Minister. Let’s review:

Problem: Student can’t understand Math and Science when taught in English

Current solution:

1. Stop teaching Math and Science in English.

2. Teach Math and Science in mother tongue.

3. Make effort to improve English.

When the actual solution should be:

1. Make effort to improve English.

Perhaps when these people who’s making the decision ‘thinks’, they are thinking on a ‘bigger scale’. They would like to see improvement in English for the next batch before reconsidering using English as a medium for Math and Science. But these few ‘transition’ batch would be those who lose out by not learning Math and Science in English. Besides, an improvement in the following batch does not guarantee the next-next-batch to be good in English as well.

Also, if English can be used in application with Science and Math, would that not be an efficient platform to practice usage of English? Language is about practicing. To read and write more using a certain language will surely improve the language.

Some might argue that there will be too much work for the students/teachers. Perhaps Malaysian students just need a good push-around. Positive outcome often results from pressure. Teachers need to be pressured to learn English and then teach effectively, students must be encouraged to pick up English in the shortest possible time. Bring in third party educator, engage professional service on a national level, just to help out teachers , who will then benefit the students. (But this idea will probably be another drainage from national coffers into pockets of whoever’s-in-charge, which will result in a scrapped project with no positive outcome - the Malaysian way)

Sigh.. How can an important aspect of society degrade from its colonial-time-English-system to the current crappy-British-Last-system? Maybe it’s just the Malaysian’s unique ‘tidak apa’ attitude. Or maybe it just the Malay unique ‘relac one corner’ attitude. Looking at the photo of a smiling Education Minister when facing such an important decision, I believe my guess is not too far from the reality.

I am writing this in response to RPK’s article @ http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/22704/84/

If you have been a friend of mine, you would’ve known that I’ve always shared the same thoughts as RPK in many issues. But specifically for this issue of Abolishing the Monarchy in Malaysia, I have a different stand than what is mentioned by RPK in that article.

Undoubtedly, RPK has his interest in protecting the monarchy. I do not disagree with that. Afterall, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am plainly disappointed by RPK’s article that is keeps on droning on other different issue such as insurance as a waste of money, corruption in public sector equates to public sector as a waste of money. Yet he failed to highlight the one common factor that these ‘wasted’ money have that is different from the ‘wasted’ money on monarchy — Purpose.

Each of those that he mentioned serve a purpose. Insurance serves as an assurance to life of many. Police force is meant to protect the citizens (theoretically). The tea lady has a duty to prepare tea. What purpose does monarchy serve?

Some might say, it is an assurance, a fallback system. But at the expense of the country’s coffers? Then should the country also pay the insurance premium for all citizens?

Others would say that the monarchy is a symbol of Malay supremacy. Apparently in RPK’s point of view, to voice out the removal of Monarchy equates to racism (a Chinese racism against Malay in this case). From another perspective, to support the preservation of Monarchy can also be viewed as racist (a Malay racism against Chinese/Indians). Sadly, in that article, I will categorically group RPK under this group of racist. Simply because he failed to see that Abolishing the Monarchy is not a racist act. The Chinese abolished the monarchy in China, not because they are racist (they’re the same race!) but rather of their understanding of the corruptivity and uselessness of a Monarch. Why can’t Malaysians support abolishing the Monarchy?

So far, I have seen no ‘real’ purpose of the Monarchy in Malaysia. I believe that if the people are paying taxes to fund a monarchy of Einstein’s lineage who are contributing to the country, then there will be less complain. Recent incidents have shown truly the opposite, whereby the inclusion of Monarchy in many instances serve as a nuisance and adding complication to an already chaotic situation. For example: the Perak incident, as well as the Manohara case.

I will use a simple analogy to explain why many support the abolishment of Monarchy even after reading RPK’s article:

At the end of month, I review my monthly expenditure and realise my expenses are as follow:

Food: 7000

Lodging: 10000

Transport: 5000

Throwing money into the sea: 1000

If we are to apply the cut the top 3 cost as mentioned by RPK, yes it would undoubtedly cut a lot of cost from my monthly expenses. However, wouldn’t it be insane if I save the money from top 3 cost yet i throw money into the sea?

Some might argue the amount thrown into the sea is relatively small. And it can be easily gained from cutting cost from top 3 spendings. But if we are talking about a country’s coffers, taxpayers money, should we not be extremely stringent and careful about its usage?

Until RPK can come up with concrete and solid arguments as to why monarchy should be preserved (not some historical lessons but practical impact that monarchy has to offer), I will stand on my views and laugh at the morons who follow and agree every word RPK has to offer.

Imagine, in an innocent classroom filled with children.

Teacher: What is your ambition? Why do you choose it?

Student A: I want to be a teacher. Just like you. I want to teach children to make a difference to the society.

Student B: I want to be a policeman. I want to be brave, to protect people, and to save lives.

*snap* back to reality please. Nowadays, teachers mainly ‘teach’ by reading off a textbook. They do not behave like an adult, not being responsible nor being real. They just act like rules stipulated in the invisible book of “How You Must Fake In Front of Your Students”.

The insult of teachers on their profession can be considered minuscule compared to the policemen. Or rather specifically “polis diraja malaysia”.

I believe many have read and understood the events that unfold in Perak on 7thMay2009. Many comments have been posted regarding the blatant abuse of power/force, and many of them have posted in mild language that I believe, if a policeman or officer stumble across their article, it will not strike a chord with him( or it).

Simply because these fucking Police Diraja Malaysia personnels are fucking stupid. If only they can understand the effects of their actions and FUCKING bloody remember that they ARE part of the public and they ARE suppose to fucking serve the people and protect them NOT JUST the executives. Rounding up people for no good reason? You THINK you are above the law? Even above the legislative? FUCK YOU! If not for the taxes that people pay, you’ll be EATING SHIT by the roadside. Aligning yourself with Barisan National is a FUCKING stupid to say the least. Given that PR is rising in public support, it will be no surprise if they win the next election. If I am a PR decision maker, when I form the government, I would first FIRE ALL THE POLICEMEN then rehire qualified personnels. Hire people with brains, not just RETARDED BANGLADESHI or IMMIGRANT INDONS or OVER-ENTHUSIASTIC MAMAKS.

Arresting a person who wants to raise awareness by calling out to people to wear black? WHY DON’T YOU START ARRESTING RETARDS WHO CALL OUT “1MALAYSIA” SLOGAN? That’s FUCKING SEDITIOUS cause then everyone in Malaysia would be calling out 1Malaysia with NOBODY knows exactly WHAT THE FUCK that is. Now that is a crime.

Dear Policemen, if you are reading this, FUCKING THINK! If you are to use brute force by ignoring law and the constitution of Malaysia, if you think you are immune to such corruption, then THINK AGAIN! If one day, these FUCKERS who paid you to do these dirty deeds, turn their backs towards you, WHO THE FUCK WILL BE THERE TO STAND FOR YOU?

Maybe the trainings in Police cadet have blunted your thinking process. Reverting you to a FUCKING BEAST. But I am sure if you understand the gravity of the situation, AND THE FACT THAT YOUR SALARY IS A FUCKING MEAGRE RM700, you will realise that YOU DO NEED A FUCKING CHANGE.

Support the people, NOT just Barisan National, NOR just PR. The people paid you! YOUR FUCKING LOW PAY IS BECAUSE YOUR BOSS (BN) IS LEECHING OFF YOU! Be nice, lest one day EVERYONE decided NOT TO PAY TAXES and then you really would be begging for food.

Lastly, I sincerely hope that all policemen of Malaysia will suffer at the hands of rising crime that they have happily neglected. I wish for their houses to be robbed, their children to be kidnapped, their spouses to be raped, and owh so many more evil thoughts that I should not burden myself with.

Let me end my unloading of anger with another short story.

A policemen and a teacher died and is at the door to heaven, awaiting judgement.

God asks: What have you accomplished in your life that I shall grant you entry to heaven?

Teacher: I have taught the children of Malaysia and made a difference to the society.

God: Hmm.. You have been racist and you have read only from the textbook as a teacher and you have inspired none. But I reckon that at least you did pass on some knowledge to a number of people, for that I will grant you another chance to prove yourself on earth instead of Hell.

Teacher: Thank you. *poof*

God: And you?

Policeman: I am a policeman, I serve my country and protected the citizens.

God: Hmmm.. lets see, policemen automatically granted entry to heaven. But wait, lets see the extra clause here… Owh. Malaysian policemen are excluded. Malaysian policemen, go straight to hell, do not pass go, do not collect 200. Ok. Bye!

Policeman: Wait! I am Musa, head of Poli… *poof*
