A pendatang too brilliant to be ignored...

A little joke to share~~

This is definitely not original, but an adaptation of one which went round
some time ago, about an Indian in USA. But then again, it is good for a
laugh...

It was the first day of a school in Kulai, Johor and a new Chinese student
named Chong Shan entered Standard four.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some Malaysian History. Who said
'Merdeka, Merdeka"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chong Shan who had his hand up:
'Tunku Abdul Rahman, 31 August 1957' he said.

'Very good! Who said 'China's authoritarian rule is more effective than the
'democracy' practiced in Malaysia?''

Again, no response except from Chong Shan. 'Tun Dr. Mahathir from Kerala,
2010' he said.

The teacher snapped at the class, 'Boys, you should be ashamed. Chong Shan,
who is a pendatang to our country, knows more about our history than you
do.'

She heard a loud whisper: '@#$% the Chinese.' 'Who said that?' she demanded.


Chong Shan put his hand up. 'Perkasa Chief, Ibrahim Ali.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Yeah, I am Malay first, Malaysian
second!'

Chong Shan jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher,
'Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin, 2010'.

At that point, a student in the back said, 'Correct, correct, correct!'

The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?'

Again, Chong Shan says, 'Lawyer VK Lingam, in a telephone conversation
brokering the appointment of top judges with the former Chief Justice.'

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, 'I am not ashamed to admit that I
cannot compete with the Chinese and Indian students.'

Chong Shan frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Tun Dr. Mahathir from
Kerala, in Medical College.'

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around her on the floor,
someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!'

And Chong Shan, rather sheepish being correct all the time, said softly, 'I
think it was Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, 2008'.

夢醒時分 The moment when a dream is awakened

I got an article, and it seem very true and I want to share to everyone

你是否和我一樣，發覺身邊的親戚和朋友，似乎少了許多。
I wonder you feel the same as me ; all the sudden I realized friends and relatives around me seems to get less and less.

以往接近過年時，各種聚餐排得滿滿的，而今年，似乎沒聲沒息。
Those years when the New Year drew near, all sorts of gathering appointments almost completely filled the diaries, but this year seems so quiet.

即使是平常日子，電話少了，與大家見面也少了。
Even in normal time, phone calls become less and less, face to face meet up also become much less.

也許，大家各忙各的；或者，目前流行“宅生活”，儘量避免出門。
Perhaps, everybody is busy with their own things, or perhaps, nowadays people prefer to stay in.

也不盡然如此。再想一想，很多老友和親戚，已經不在了。嗟！大吉利是，他們都還好好的，只是離開了馬來西亞。
However, it is not entirely like this, thinking further, actually old friends and relatives are not around any more. God bless, they are still alive and well, they just left the country, Malaysia .

去了中國大陸開工廠；王子不做工程師，移民到澳洲開小食檔；阿風離開本地大學，去香港做講師；青蛙去了台灣，開展事業第二春；還有的到了美國、英國，唔，還有去印尼的……。
They have gone to China to set factory; ah Wang quit his engineer job and migrated to Australia to set up his little food store business, ah Fong left the local University went to Hong Kong as a lecturer. 'Frog' went to Taiwan to pursue his second career life. Others went to Americia , England , even Indonesia ...

起初，以為這只是個別現象，逐漸的，旁人也有同樣發現；原來，這不是個別現象，而是社會現象；這不是少數，而是相當大的數目。
At first, I thought these are individual cases, but gradually, people around me realized the same, these are not individual cases but a general symptom of our society. they are not small numbers but the pretty big indeed.

外交部早前披露了一個數字，說明這個現象是多麼真實，多麼貼近。
Department of Foreign Affairs released the figures earlier, it confirmed the situation is real.

從去年3月到今年9月，已經有30萬大馬人移民他國；其中20萬 人是今年1月到8月出走的數目。
From March 2008 thru September 2009, a total of 300,000 Malaysian migrated to other countries, among them 200,000 left between Jan - Aug 2009. (in 8 months)

累積下來，已經有超過200萬大馬人移民，接近今天印尼外勞在大馬的人口。
Cummulatively, 2 million Malaysians migrated, this figure is close to the number of Indonesian workers in Malaysia today.

不同的是，移居他國的大馬人，多是專業人士、中產階級。
The difference are, those migrated are mostly professional and middle class people.

他們有很多出走的理由，追求事業發展，為了孩子前途，尋找個人更大空間……，概括一句：對馬來西亞失望。
They have many reasons to leave: pursue career development, for the future of their children, in search of better life and environment... In one sentence, they lost hope of Malaysia .

50年前，大家說，馬來西亞真好，好過香港，甚至日本。
50 years ago people said: Malaysia is very good, better than Hong Kong and even Japan .

30年前，大家說，馬來西亞還不錯，比得上韓國、台灣（不提香港和日本了）。
30 years ago people said: Malaysia is not bad, comparable to S. Korea and Taiwan . (No mention of Hong Kong and Japan any more).

20年前，大家說，馬來西亞還可以，至少超越中國、泰國（不能和台、韓比了）。
20 years ago people said: Malaysia can do lah, at least better than China and Thailand (Cannot compare with Taiwan and Korea lah)

10年前，大家說，馬來西亞再差，還不至於像越南、印尼（中國已是不同級別）。
10 years ago people said: No matter how bad Malaysia is, cannot be worse than Vietnam and Indonesia ok-lah. ( China is already in a different category).

今日，越南和印尼的經濟成長率遙遙領先大馬， 社會活力和知識發展也勝過一籌；距離愈來愈近了。
Today, the economic growth rate of Vietnam and Indonesia already far exceeded Malaysia , Social activity and intellectual development of the country is also better, the gap between us and them is closing up.

怕甚麼，還有菲律賓和柬埔寨、緬甸。
Why worry? there are still Philipines , Cambodia and Myanmar behind us.

但是，一位經濟學家最近到菲律賓考察之後，認為再過20年，大馬可以取代菲律賓，出口馬籍女傭到全世界了。
However, according to an economist who recently surveyed Phillipines, he think in 20 years' time, Malaysia can replace Phillipines to become the World exporter of Malaysian maids.

半個世紀以來，馬來西亞是在大宅院裡，用封建方式，分配祖宗家業，消耗社會資源，浪費和逼走人才；不談競爭力，忽略生產力，討厭績效制。
Over half a century, Malaysians live in the big old imperial housing complex, closed up and survive on properties left behind by the ancestor; continued to consume up social resources, wasteful, and drove away talents; they never talk about competitiveness, totally neglected productivity, and hated meritocracy.

亞洲金融風暴來襲時，大馬把門關起來，以為避過一劫， 有人還自我陶醉，自以為是天才策略。
When Asia economic storm hit in 1997, Malaysia closed their doors, thinking we beautifully avoided a disaster, they even think of themselves as genius, being able to handle the situation so well.

然而，其它國家面對風暴，走出風暴，進行體質改革，跨步向前，登上另一個水平；大馬卻還在原地踏步。
However, just look at other countries in our neighbourhood ; they stood up, faced the storm, and walked out of the storm. They overhauled their system, improved the processes and marched forward ; they moved up to a new level. And Malaysia , still walking on the spot . . !

馬來西亞，該醒一醒了。
Dear Malaysia , it's time to wake up !
We are very very late now !

Ex-top cop Ramli acquitted of graft

Ramli gives a thumbs-up after his acquittal today. — Picture by Jack Ooi

KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — Suspended police Commissoner Datuk Ramli Yusoff has been acquitted of three corruption charges by the Sessions Court here.

Judge M Gunalan ruled today that the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case against Ramli, who was the Commercial Crimes Investigations Department (CCID) chief when he was charged and suspended from service in 2007.

He was charged with failing to declare ownership of 20,000 Telekom Malaysia Berhad shares, 154,000 Permaju Industries Berhad shares and interest in two office properties worth RM1,032,840.

Ramli, 56, was alleged to have committed the offences at the office of the then Anti-Corruption Agency’s deputy public prosecutor in Putrajaya on Sept 17, 2007.

The CCID supremo had also been charged separately in the Kota Kinabalu Sessions court for allegedly using police aircraft to view two pieces of property in which his real estate company had an interest.

That case, too, ended in an acquittal for Ramli when, on July 27 of last year, Sessions Court Judge Supang Lian said: “The prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case and the accused deserves to be acquitted and discharged.’’

I'm here to tell you that my granny, along with the grannies of other six million Chinese Malaysians, sailed across the oceans here not to sell their bodies!

With her bound feet, granny came here to support a family. And when the Japanese troops rolled over Malaya, she led the family to safety.



When the situation became more stable later, she negotiated with the Japs to get a licence to do business, and had been able to expand her business when the Brits returned. She treated her Malay and Indian neighbours as her own compatriots, and would prepare a whole stack of angpaos on the first day of every Chinese New Year to distribute to the Malay and Indian kids queuing up in front of our house. She leased out a small plot of land for a Chinese primary school, but had not in decades asked for the return of the land.


Every year on 31 August, she would try to find a national flag and hang it up high on a very long pole in front of our house. She landed on Malaya, and treated this place her own country. She had not had another home or country since.

When she passed away, many Malaymakcik came to our house and sobbed over her passing.



With her unparalleled wisdom, hard work, morality and determination, she spent her entire life in a very respectful manner. No one can ever insult her and accuse that she had come here to sell her body!

My granny, like the grannies of many other people, was a truly great woman.

From Malaya to Malaysia, they were scattered in every family and every corner of this country.

From the rubber-tapping workers in the estates, to the excavators in the tin mines, they were the most hardworking and exceptional women anywhere in the world. During those darkest years, they displayed the most glorious side of humanity. They sacrificed their youths and lives, so that you and I, along with our homes and nation, can come into being.

Even though they might no longer be around today, they still live deep inside our hearts, and support us morally.

Not only the country's laws will come after you, Nasir, you still owe our grannies a sincere apology.

PS3 Slim is coming soon

Sony had launch it PS3(the bulky like toaster machine) for some time. Right now the slimmer version of PS3 is coming on September.

It is stated that this PS3 slim will retail at USD299.99. It is like MYR1100.00. But somehow, it make me feel that when it is launch here it will cost MYR2400.00. Even though, after added tax or other changes it will be like MYR1600.00 but in Malaysia, we never know how they charge. That is what the amazing part of Malaysia.
Amazing Malaysia, Truly Asia. hahah :p

Sometime, when I think about in Malaysia a normal salary man in US earn
USD 3000 - buy a gadget for eg. PS3 USD 299.99

For Malaysia
MYR3000 - buy a PS3 MYR1200 (direct conversion)

Still doesn't make any sense. What's wrong with the market value here.

Chocolate (Malaysia)

This is the last work from Yasmin Ahmad, titled as Chocolate. I haven't watched it but it does look like New version of Sepet.

This is the culture and story of Malaysia. I think I am going to like it.

What Makes A Malaysian A Malaysian?

How to recognize a Malaysian or are you one of them:-

1. A typical young Malaysian can name all the players from a top English
Premier League club, but ask him to name one football player from Malaysia,
he cannot

2. When StreamyX come, you complain StreamyX too slow. When Maxis Broadband
come, you complain Maxis Broadband always disconnects. When WiMax come, you
complain Wimax too expensive. In the end, you say StreamyX still the best
lah.

3. When highway toll price increase, you complain. When petrol price
increase, you complain. When you go Starbucks buy RM10 coffee, NO
COMPLAINTS.

4. When you cannot find parking in a shopping mall and have to walk very
far, you complain. When you go inside the shopping mall and there's SALE ,
run from one end of 1Utama to the other, that one NO COMPLAINT..

5. You are always late. And the excuse you give when you're late is always
either: (a) traffic jam (b) no transport or (c) cannot find parking.

6. You have a parent who forces you to take science stream in high school,
study engineering in Uni, then when you graduate, they ask you to forget
everything you learnt in Uni and do commerce..

7. You know someone who can specially develop an angmoh accent when speaking
to an American / British / Australian.

8. You complain against the government in kopitiam, you talk loud loud.
Leave anonymous comments on blogs, you also talk loud loud. Attend ceremah
by DAP, you shout loud loud. Then when Opposition organise a protest and ask
you to go, you dun wan. Scared later kena tangkap by ISA.

9. Every year on the 30th April, you are one of the people below queuing up
last minute to submit your tax return at the IRB.

10. When you pay RM10 for something that costs RM1, you blame the Chinese.

11. When a government service is too slow, you blame the Malays.

12. When a building is not good and collapsed, you blame the Indians...

13. When a Chinese student won a scholarship, you say 'Wah! Very clever
hor?' When a Malay student won a scholarship, you say 'Aiya! Of course lah!
He Malay mah!'

14. When an angmoh stranger kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you very
happy. When a Malaysian guy kisses you on the cheek to say hello, you slap
him in face.

Expensive Carpark in Residential Area - GAC

Paying Carpark in KL is a so normal thing, you go anywhere with your car and when you need a carpark. Of course, you pay. Average car park price in KL town area from KLCC to Sungai wang there, per entry is atleast RM5-10 or by hour highest amount is RM15.

For PJ area, carpark might be varies but price for it is from RM4 - 8. For most of the shopping center, for mid valley currently is charge by hour maximun for RM8 while on OneU, is per-entry only at RM 1- 2.

This is not the end, there is a lot open car park that charges money, but most of us car driver willing to pay as carpark is difficult to find....sad~



However, what I know in GREEN AVENUE CONDOMINIUN (GAC) in bukit jalil charge its visitor RM10 for a carpark duration of 4 hours. Funny, this is the most funny and exhilarating I ever heard and know. Now, condominium management is trying to earn carpark money too. Sadly to say, this is the first time I ever heard this kind of problem, that a residential area need to pay carpark fees. Ever wonder there are a day when your parent, relative, brother or sister come visit you at the condominium, and they need to pay a carpark fees like everywhere else.

National Day

Created by OnePlusYou

Malaysia, Negaraku. Dah lah sampai, hari kebanggaan mu. Bersedia la berjuang kemerdekaan yang gembira.

Although this year National day seem a bit dull, due to maybe a lot unpredictable politic matter. Anyhow, Malaysia, Happy 51st National Day~~

Hopefully future will get better

opps, you did it again

So this time, whose concert are they going to criticize? oops, wait~ Not only that but being rejected.

Sorry to hear it, Avril, seem like your concert is going to be canceled due to

1. Lavigne's show was "considered too sexy for us" and would promote the wrong values just before independence day
2. Malaysia requires all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images and be covered from the chest to the knees
3. hey must also refrain from jumping, shouting, hugging and kissing on stage

Ah, I really upset now. What is the wrong with this country. Is this something they can think about it right now?
