无聊vs无聊

这篇文章得用华文书写,因为怕不懂华语的其他种族看了见笑,以为我们是如此的寒酸又爱脸,为了区区一万五千元,竟要大打擂台。
因为,我们也像你们一样,怕你们丢了我们的脸。
什么是槟华堂?什么是槟商会?现在对大多数槟华人来讲,只是芸芸非政府组织中的一员,而且,还有非常浓厚的政党色彩。说真的,雪华堂对大数人,更加的熟悉。
可笑的是,你们真的以为你们就像你们的团体名字一样,代表着全部华人和商家,说一句活,整个华社都会一呼百应,以你们为首。(如果,真是这样的话,大选你们就不会大跌眼镜。)
你们真的以为你们很出名,以为你们的吵架人们很有兴趣,其实除了跟你们有些关系的媒体外,受多数人拜读的独立新闻,当今大马,内幕者,等等都不屑一提。
你们真的以为我们相信你们这次是为了华社,其实大家都知道你们有太多的新仇旧恨。
拜托,别拉整个华社下水,让别人以为我们像你们一样,寒酸又爱脸。
辩论“谁应向华社道歉?”,我们真的不在意,也不关我们的事。
师父有教过:“面子是别人給的,脸是自己丢的。”
有很多人,总是为了面子,而丢了脸。
(虽然新年该讲好话的,但这真是令我们槟城华人好丢脸。)

Pakatan Rakyat won KT by-election

PAS candidate Mohd Abdul Wahid won the KT by-election of 2,631 votes majority, higher than in last GE in 2008 which won by BN.
The by-election means a lot for the both coalitions, the PM-in-waiting, the voters' direction, the future politics approach, etc.

MCA True Story

bird view of BN supporters on nomination day
bird view of PR supporters on nomination day
Ong TK said MCA will give correct information to Chinese Community (here). We are happy to hear that as the previous MCA Presidents always practice "all says should cut by half before the lips." (活到唇边留半句). We lost a lot of true story due to this practice.
1) What is the true story behind why the vernacular education was not supported/recognised and developed by the government? Instead, they always showed the intention to close down all these school. And what MCA can do is giving guarantee (only) to Chinese community that they will not agree these schools to be simply closed down.
2) Is MCA a real No. 2 brother in BN coalition and bring some weights in their says or just a "ma chai" that make up the numbers and given some posts when the coalition led by UMNO won the election?
3) MCA always attack DAP for coalition with PAS who want to implement Hudud law, but we still did not have the correct information whether MCA supported Islamic state as declared and implemented by the previous PM? At lease, we know that DAP is consistence in objection the issue.
4) What is the true story about royalty money and later wang ehsan to Trengganu? but we think you may not have rights to know much about this.
5) You were there during the nomination day in KT, could you tell us the true story whose camp had more supporters showing up that day? We were confused by the main stream media and Internet news who told us the extremely different estimations.
6) In fact, did NEP achieved its aim to help more bumiputras or only a group of umnoputras? Actually what is the true story of this policy?
7) Did MCA convey the message that 'babi' just one of our daily food for most and not all non-Malays in this country and nothing more. 8) Actually, did the MCA & MIC representatives were involved during appeal for Merdeka, why some people seemed did not agree on this 50 over years back story?
9) Is MCA agreed with 'Ketuanan Melayu" and all others are second class?
10) Of course, I think many Malaysia still felt that you owe us the true story about PKFZ (Port Kelang Free Zone) scandal.
The above were just a few story we interested to know but we are sure there are still many more that people are interested.

KT by-election

Now, everybody talk about the KT by-election.
(Even though I feel that the "sure come" financial crisis is also critical for us to worry).
Why is KT by-election important?
a) It will test the creditability & capability of our PM in-waiting?
b) It will test the supporting level of PR-BN?
c) It will indicate the momentum of change still keep going?
d) It will indicate the index of "hudud-phobia" among Chinese Community?
e) It will indicate the index of "Ketuanan Melayu" among Malay Community?

After "Change", what are next?

After "Change", What are next?
We got now total 5 states in peninsular Malaysia are under the new coalition party (Pakatan Rakyat) that never happened in the history of Malaysia. Also, we got more than 2/3 of opposition MPs in the Parlimen.
This is a "not bad" results that the people had made . The people had given sufficient mandate for the opposition members that always claimed that they are too weak in terms of representatives in the State & Federal level.
So, the people had done their part, what are next?
PR is now has a stronger platform to perform as a government and they are 10 months old today. As for Penang, DAP-led government never denied that they have shown their energetic, enthusiasm, innovation and trying to demonstrate a different way of administration.
However, many people also felt that they are still celebrating their 308 victory and too much of politicking in all policies and issues. Hope that they have read the letter from "silent majority" (Here) after attended the Victory Dinner in December, and I would said that this represents most of the view that used to support them during 308. Obviously, it is now not the time to celebrate victory, but is time for delivery.
The "change" also hoped that the 51 years old ruling coalition BN could awoae and realise what is actually happening on the ground people that they have left for so long. But, have they changed or going to change?

2008 - Year of Change

"I cannot say whether things will get better if we CHANGE. What I say is they must CHANGE if they are to get better." - George C. Lichtenberg
2008 - Year of Change for Malaysia. I think either you like or dislike to change, you may not disagree that 2008 is the Year of Change for Malaysia, especially in our political arena.
In fact, Gerakan is the ONLY one party in the BN ruling government who realised the needs for change looking at the current political situations. They avoid to use "Change" as the slogan and use "Reinventing" which bring the meaning the change for the government to face the new challenge. Unfortunately, it is been too late and the People has lost confidence for this 39 years old party to continue to rule.
DAP was more direct as the "Change" was always their unchanged slogan. And this time, with Uncle Kit and Karpal Singh slowly hiding behind the new group of young and fresh new comers led by LGE, the "Change" appeared to be more appropriate, acceptable & hopeful. This time, people of Penang finally decided to give them a try. Many of them simply felt that, " Nothing will be worse than now, so, why not we change?".
PKR was the one who benefited the most from the "Change". With "Harapan Baru for Malaysia", PKR fully utilise the sense of "change" of people to gain the reborn of the party and became the biggest Opponent Party, and nearly took over the government.
BN, or more precisely the UMNO, MCA and MIC were the most no sense & no sensitivity to the wave of change. With the slogan of "Selamat, Aman & Makmur", the people of Malaysia felt that they want to bring back to the old days. Insensitive, arrogant, ignorance, greedy, take for granted, etc made them became blind & deaf to the surrounding, resulting the biggest lost in the political history.
