Something we are proud of.

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.

Bizarre Cures That Really Work

1. Home cure: Vodka

Use it for: Foot odor

If your feet smell less than swell, wipe them down with a vodka-soaked washcloth to get rid of the stench. It’s the same principle as rubbing alcohol (which works equally well if you’d rather drink your Grey Goose). Vodka contains alcohol, which is antiseptic and drying, so it destroys odor-causing fungus and bacteria and dries out the moisture that lets these organisms grow.

2. Home cure: Yogurt

Use it for: Bad breath

Preliminary research shows that the live bacteria in yogurt can suppress levels of bad breath–causing bacteria. “Good” bugs in yogurt may crowd out the “bad” stink-causing bacteria or create an unhealthy environment for it, says John C. Moon, DDS, a cosmetic and general dentist in Half Moon Bay, CA.

3. Home cure: Olive oil

Use it for: Eczema

Soothe flareups by applying olive oil directly to the irritated area, says Christopher Dannaker, MD, assistant professor of dermatology at the University of California San Francisco. Packed with antioxidants that can reduce the inflammation associated with eczema, olive oil is the basis for many moisturizers; when used alone, it lacks chemical irritants you may find in store-bought creams. As a bonus, olive oil’s antioxidants help prevent and repair damage that can lead to wrinkles and brown spots.

Rub 1 teaspoon per square inch of skin, which creates a seal that prevents skin from drying out. For serious cases, cover oil-slathered skin with plastic wrap overnight to lock moisture in.

4. Home cure: Apple

Use it for: Whiter teeth

Crunchy fruits and vegetables act as little toothbrushes when you chew them; they have a natural cleansing action that works on tooth enamel to remove stains. In particular, “apples have a gentle malic acid that also helps dissolve stains,” says Jennifer Jabow, DDS, of Park 56 Dental in New York City.

5. Home cure: Papaya

Use it for: Smoother skin

This tropical fruit contains papain, a protein-eating enzyme that dissolves the dead cells on your skin’s surface that can make it look dull and rough and leave it prone to breakouts. When used twice a month, this peel leaves skin softer, smoother, and more radiant:

Grind 2 tablespoons of washed and peeled papaya in a food processor and add 1 tablespoon of dry oatmeal. Pat this mixture onto clean skin and let it set for 10 minutes before wiping off with a wet washcloth. The enzymes in papaya are gentle, which is why this is an ideal treatment for those with sensitive skin. However, to be safe, do a test spot behind your ear the first time you try it.

Iphone or Android

Apple iPhone

Pro: Wide distribution

While the iPhone is only available on one carrier, that hasn’t stopped it from becoming the industry’s top selling smartphone. A stunning nine million units sold in the last three months of 2009 alone, bringing its total to well over 40 million.

Con: Network woes

That one carrier, unfortunately, is AT&T, which users have been complaining about for some time now. Service in big cities like New York and San Francisco is spotty at best, making some people wonder if the phone’s cool features are worth the frustrations.

AT&T’s exclusivity window is expected to end this year, though. And many analysts have predicted Apple will expand the iPhone’s reach to another carrier as well -- perhaps Verizon, the nation’s largest cellular provider -- which would give the iPhone another big sales boost, drawing in even more game developers.

Pro: Big games and big game makers

The iPhone has already stolen some big names (such as EA’s Neil Young and Blizzard’s Keith Lee) away from the traditional gaming industry and it’s tempting several others, including legendary id Software heavyweight John Carmack.

In addition to creating several new franchises, like Flight Control and MyTown (which never would have found an audience with traditional gaming systems), the iPhone also has ports of several major console games, like Call of Duty and Rock Band. The current top-grossing app GTA: Chinatown Wars from console game maker Rockstar. This phone has serious momentum.

Google Android

Pro: Wider availability

Android devices are spread out among several networks, and some of them are finding an audience. While the Nexus One phone from Google has been a flop so far (selling less than 21,000 units in its first week), the Motorola Droid has sold much better. (The company and Verizon, which carries the model, won’t reveal exact figures.) There are also several non-phone devices that use Android, such as the Archos tablet, some smaller netbooks and upcoming eReaders. And all of those can run Android games.

"Unlike the iPhone, there are lots of telecom manufacturers who can use the Android system,"says Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. "I think, in terms of numbers, you should expect a pretty big increase in penetration."

Con: No must-have games

While there are plenty of games out there for the Android, none has managed to break away from the pack. Bonsai Blast and Parallel Kingdom might be fun, but they're not generating much excitement. Without a real smash game or two, Android will be stuck playing second fiddle to the iPhone.

Con: Buzz is slow to build

The commercials for Droid raised a few eyebrows in the general public, but their lasting impact is questionable. Do a random sample of smartphone shoppers and the number of people familiar with the Android OS will be fairly small, particularly compared to those who know all about the iPhone.

Ultimately, though, Android-based phones are expected to be viable competitors to the iPhone -- and as the sales numbers grow, look for iPhone game developers to begin porting titles over and creating original ones for the platform.

That shift could happen sooner than you think. Developers learned one important lesson with the iPhone: Establishing an early foothold can be quite beneficial to the bottom line.

One malaysia should be....

WE ARE MALAYSIAN AND AS MALAYSIAN WE SHOULD HELP EACH OTHER MALAYSIAN NOT TO SLEEP IN THE STREETS.! VOTE NOT WITH YOUR HEART BUT YOUR BRAIN.


Forwarded Article was received from USA.....
Malaysians will end up sleeping on the street too ....

Indonesia is one of the world's richest countries in terms of natural resources.

God has blessed Indonesia with gold, uranium, copper, oil, timber, beaches, seas and other wealth. The land is fertile with abundant rain. Stick a twig into the ground and it grows into a tree.

Yet Indonesians sleep in the streets..

Food is expensive.. The average Indonesian eats some rice, tempe, tauhu and may be some vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday.

An average Nasi Padang meal for four persons in a single star Indonesian restaurant can cost RM60(160,000 Rupiah). This is way beyond the income of the average Joko or Ketut in Indonesia.

Why is this so ? The answer is because the ruling elites in Indonesia do not care about the people. They have pillaged the country. They craft policies that only serve to keep the elites in power and the wealthly. The same thing is happening in M'sia.

There are also millions of Indonesians who go to school and university but do not learn skills that can help them survive in the real world. They are very poor in European languages like English or Dutch. All their education is in Indonesian. So they cannot keep up with the latest developments and technologies. They cannot compete. They remain poor.

The children of the elite are sent overseas for their education.

An average Indonesian university graduate cannot bring world class skills to his employers. He or she therefore earns a pittance. This is happening in Malaysia. Bumiputra university graduates only strike it rich if they get Government jobs where they do not do much work but earn a good salary with a pension. In the private sector they may not get a job or earn only a pittance.

That is why 100,000 graduates remain unemployed in Malaysia.

Bumiputra university graduates are turning up for interviews as taxi drivers and shop assistants.. What about those who flunk out after SPM ? They become Mat Rempits (Motorcycle Racers). Last Saturday I saw another Mat Rempit get killed at the road races in Shah Alam (near Section 7).

In Malaysia, just like in Indonesia, food is getting very expensive. But the wages and salaries of the people, especially the Malays, is not keeping up with the increase in prices.

Instead of developing the competitive ability of the people,the Government has been using the failed NEP to provide subsidies and dish out money on a plate.

Everything is subsidised, even cooking oil, flour, rice, sugar, fuel, etc.

The Government has been providing these subsidies so that the people will keep voting for the ruling party.

So it has never been to the Government's advantage to make the Malays independent. A Malay who is independent of the Government may not vote for the BN. It is therefore better to keep feeding with subsidies.. So, for the past 50 years, everything has been subsidised.

But now with 27million people in the country of which more than half are Malays, subsidies are getting more expensive.

There is also much much more thievery and wastage by the BN elites in Malaysia. But there is no bottomless 'well' full of money.

Everything has its limits. The money will soon run out. Without the subsidies for cooking oil, sugar, flour and petrol, how are the people, especially the Malays, going to survive ? Already university graduates cannot find jobs or compete in the private sector. What happens when the oil money runs out ? What happens when (not if, but when) the Government cannot simply spend billions of oil money to sustain its voting base any longer? That is when we may see people sleeping in the streets, just like in Indonesia. If that happens this country will go up in flames. We will all be consumed.

In Indonesia, the Government has not mobilised its hundreds of millions of people (over 250 million Indonesians) with the competitive skills to grow enough food for themselves. Hence food is expensive. They do not even have simple survival skills like coming to work on time, organising themselves to do simple tasks, maintaining good hygiene and cleanliness and so on. They are poorly read and not informed about many things that are going on around the world. Their Government has failed in all these aspects. Hence the average Indonesian remains poor.

The same thing has happened in Malaysia. Our young people, especially the Malays, do not possess basic survival skills. We are not talking about competitive skills but just basic survival skills. The Government is not serious about giving them useful competitive skills either.

The Mat Rempits are being glorified by the politicians as saviours of the nation (Mat Cemerlang). Correction. they are drug users, gang rapists, snatch thieves and street fighters.

When an efficient Policewoman called Nooriyah Anvar was appointed Chief of Traffic Police she went after the Mat Rempits with a vengeance. Does anyone remember her? She confiscated their bikes on the spot. But soon the Mat Rempits called their political muscle and Nooriyah Anvar was kicked out. To date she holds the record of being the shortest serving Traffic Police Chief in Malaysia. She has been replaced by Senior Asst Comm (II) Datuk Hamza Taib.

So the Government is not serious about improving the position of the Malays.
It serves the Barisan Nasional Government to keep the Malays down and out. Then the Malays can go to the Government for crumbs. This way the ruling elites get to keep the whole loaf to themselves. Go and visit Indonesia. This is what is happening over there. It is happening over here too.

Does Malaysia have a problem ? Yes the Malays are not happy, the Chinese are not happy and the Indians are not happy.

They spoke out at the March 2008 polls and hope things will change for the better, now they have some oppositions who promised change. The Malays are being duped by their corrupted leaders by using the religion, the Chinese and Indians are being marginalised by the ruling elites..

Let us all Malaysians wake up and fight the corrupt system for the benefit of everyone.. Let us all unite and stand together and change the system for once and for all.

We are not Malays, Chinese or Indians, we are Malaysians. Malaysians May End Up Sleeping in the Street if no change is made to the present corrupt and very selfish system.

Potong! Proton!

Got the information about this

1 MALAYSIA SENTIASA DITIPU...
Kenapa Proton tak jual harga macam kat Arab Saudi?
Apa istimewanya orang Arab?

Kata ”Rakyat didahulukan”…..
Kenapa orang Arab lebih diutamakan?

Haaaa…..Jawapannya ialah…..Pemilik Proton di Malaysia semuanya dah kena tipu …..Hahaha

Harga Persona kat Saudi = SR 36,100
Harga Gen2 kat Saudi = SR 33,600
Harga Waja kat Saudi = SR 37,950

1 Saudi Riyal = RM 0.94

Maknanya harga Persona kat Saudi = RM 33,934 aje
Maknanya harga Proton Gen2 kat Saudi = RM 32,256 aje
Maknanya harga Waja kat Saudi = RM 35,673 aje

1 Malaysia bayar RM 66,799.97 untuk 1 Waja di Msia!
RM31,126.97 lebih MAHAL!
Malaysia Government suppose to protect their people instead of cheating their hard earnings..!!

Wonder if it is true
