糾纏多時的換顏色風波，應可告一段落。
小弟又把《一個人》的部落格換回藍色，希望廣大的blog眾能滿意。尤其是7月6日即將來檳的金權兄。（不會這麼多“譏吉”了吧！~）
還有，任何人還是對本blog顏色不滿的，歡迎告知，不滿就改到你們滿為止。
反正…
住家手提電腦壞掉了，打算“一個人”在“一個月”才寫一次blog，不過份吧~尤其我的游客次數和老友鬼鬼的blog址都不小心刪掉了，要怎改都行。~

除了換顏色，也要換格式，之前之前的排列最好，找容易找其他的東西，如其他網上和遊戲。
最好看还是超人照，这个可以保留！
We live in a little make believe cocoon called Malaysia and the threat of globalisation is going to destroy all our companies, GLCs and private, who insist on doing business as usual. MAS and Proton have already felt the heat. Telekom Malaysia (TM) is another government privatised company which still functions very much like a government department.
I applied for the Streamyx broadband Internet service in last December. I was told to call a 1300 number for activation. After doing that, I was supposed to be able to enjoy broadband Internet speeds. However, after three days there was no DSL light which means that my line has not been hooked up.
Telekom claimed to have checked the 'jumpering' and said there was nothing wrong. Two installers have come and said there is nothing they can do because the problem is with Telekom.
Then as if that was not bad enough, I was billed RM88 for two months of broadband access which I have not even got. Somehow there seems to be little communication between the departments. What a mess!
All it takes is for TM to check the jumpering, go to my house to verify its working and if not go back to the jumpering again and repeat that until the customer is satisfied. What is lacking is a service mentality.
If Telekom Malaysia is truly profit-driven in a competitive environment, it will realise that an unhappy customer will be someone else's customer very soon. If there was an alternative out there, I would have switched immediately.
Close shop or wake up. The Malaysia market is an Utopia but the world out there won't react so kindly.
Racial polarisation in the country is not caused by the country's vernacular school system but more by the government political, education and economic discriminative policies, an educationist said today.
The prime minister and all the Umno ministers will never admit that polarisation arises more out of the race-based policies and privileges one race gets over another.
Similarly, there are other areas of our daily lives where terminologies used have made us view certain practices as privileges rather than sacrifices. For instance, the bumi discount for houses.
The total sale value to the developer is still the same. It is just that the non-malay buyer is likely to be required to pay for some of the discount given to the malays.
But the longer the NEP policies continue and the greater the vehemence with which Umno politicians issue threats, terminologies will change and more people will talk about these practices or policies in words that may not sound as pleasing to the ears of the beneficiaries.
Obviously, at that point we shall probably see a new round of discriminations and disagreements. Unfortunately, as long as only weak people take on leadership roles within Umno, threats will continue, NEP policies will be sustained and corruption will prevail.
That unfortunately is the legacy we have as Malaysians.
The basic building blocks of unity, whether you are uniting different ethnic groups in a country or trying to re-engineer a corporation of differing cultural values, are the same.
The principal parties have to be treated as equals - nor special privileges no favours that would favour one group over another. Any privilege that is given should be given to all on the same basis - for example, special privilege given to the financially poor regardless of race or ethnic origin.
It is only on this equitable footing that you can foster true nationalism and build lasting unity, since each component group will have the same stake in the nation and has equal likelihood in reaping the rewards or suffering the consequences.
My recommendation to the government, not simply as a businessman but also based on pragmatism, is not to waste any more taxpayer ringgit on nationalism programmes until it has established the pre-conditions for its success.
What is sad is that, after almost five decades of independence, we have been unable in Malaysia, to bring globally-vision leaders to the forefront - leaders who can see beyond racial boundaries to recognise the immense sociological and economic potential that can benefit all Malaysians.
Our Chinese is being abused and stupidly handing out money for the lazy people. We work hard and save money in bank but the bank give us 3-6% interest, that is way too low if compare to Australia and US.
Nevertheless, the malays can invest in government assisted fund and get 8-12% increment. What an unfair practice. We have no choice but to emigrate to others country in order to enjoy higher benefits and returns.
Malaysia will no progress and lastly became a less develop country.
I was told that during 1960s, Professor Wang GungWu was more qualified than Ungku Aziz to be appointed as the vice chancellor of University Malaya. However, due to racial-biased promotion policy, it was Ungku Aziz who being promoted as the vice chancellor.
At the age of 38, Professor Wang emigrated to Australia with his wife. 14 years later at the age of 56, Professor Wang became the president of the University of Hong Kong until 1995. Currently, Professor Wang is the chairman of NUS Institute of Southeast Asian Studies.
You want Malaysia to follow Singapore! No way they will do it. They are just too proud to admit their errors.
Let them have what they want. Let them continue what policies they want (with Umno first policies and all others deemed as racial issues stance).
Pardon me to say this:
In not very far future - bright students will shun local univeisity and all the newly foreign-minted Malaysian PhDs will shun local university. They reap what they sow. Period.
The spirit of nation building is left with bones, but without the "spine" - all citizens cannot play useful their roles toward journey of Vision 2020.
Think carefully……….
Non-malay citizens of Malaysia should emigrate to one of these countries where you will be appreciated for what you are and where you can contribute positively to the society.
Your children will definitely have a better future. After a while, you will invariably ask: "What a fool am I. Why and how did I live so long in Malaysia, a country that discriminates me, my children and my family because of our race?"
In the final analysis, non-malay citizens of Malaysia should thank the BN government for making them to send their children to study overseas (although at the time of sending them overseas the decision was painful and costly), thus allowing their children to get exposure overseas, and to get jobs there and to settle down there.
People who survive this sort of pressure will eventually do well. Good for them and their children.
Remember Raja Petra said: More than 90% of malays were actually non-Muslims, because they don't follow the teaching of Islam.
Can a true Muslim prohibit another Muslim to build a mosque? Any part of koran said to build a mosque for the Chinese Muslims is haram? Another Malaysia Boleh one story yah?
I firmly believe, when I die and go to hell, I will meet many "Malaysian Muslims" there, all the munafik who used Islam not for them to be closer to God, but for their idiotic, selfish and vicious self-interest.
More classic examples of half-past-six mentalities displayed by the present so-called leaders, ministers, and worst of all politicians (monkey-brain), bad for the nation but good for those who knows how to take advantage of their stupidity.
Religion alone can never help us to become more clever and smart, especially with the present attitude and style of the malays, who are going backwards more and more, and heading for the caves and jungles in time to come.
In Malaysia the constitution is not the supreme document in law. It has been so trampled by the Umno gangsters; it has come to a point where these gangsters are a law unto themselves. To them the constitution is respected when it suits their intents and toilet paper when it does not.
Mob rule is tolerated by the police when it is an Umno orchestrated mob. Non-Umno gatherings are an inconvenience and clobbered to pulp.
Malaysia is dead as a nation. They are dying to call this land Tanah Melayu so we might as well let them destroyed it. It is no loss to the non-malays since they are treated as pendatang anyway.
Let these gangsters plunder and rob their own kind. They are notorious for inbreeding in any case. They would probably enjoy devouring their own kind too. Crooks and hypocrites at the helm will never grow a nation. Only chaos and disaster beckon.
I wish it were different, but I have long since decided they deserve what they get. No point in banging my head against the wall.
UMNO = Untuk Makan Nasi Orang
This is a new generation of lazy malays who evolved from their lazy ancestors. Not surprising la! Wait for the next generation of lazy malays on the future with better parasitic economic policies.
On our Malaysia education system, it is in fact a very worrying situation. Few of my friends who managed to find a foreign partner or fellow Malaysian with foreign PR status, all have decided not to send their children into our local schools. All of them are not happy with the education system.
I must admit that if I have the option, I would not send my children into our local schools. Our system over emphasizes "spoon feeding" method. Our system mainly teaches the children to be submissive. Our system does not encourage a child thinking process.
Also, I was told by someone that the current school syllabus contains many Islamic elements than those in the 70s and 80s. If this is true, this is a very worrying factor to the non-Muslim community in this country.
Then, there is the problem of deteriorating quality standard of national schools, and over workload for children attending Chinese schools.
Sometimes children have more pressure than us, being an adult. They loss their childhood wonder years. We can go for a holiday when we get burnt out. But children have to bring along their homework, if they are going for year-end holiday.
The current system of education in Malaysia and the attendant political interference is like a time bomb. Our ministry of education is paralysed to effect any meaningful and positive changes to rectify the sorry state it is in.
Who will suffer ultimately but a whole new generation of young Malaysians who are like the proverbial sacrificial lambs on the altar of political expediency?
Already we are seeing the present generation of "unemployable" graduates emerging from our universities, all a result of the nationalistic syllabus.
If we carry on like this for another 10/20 years, can you imagine the sort of people running our country in the future? If our present crops of ministers are an embarrassment to our country, dare we imagine what the future situation will be like?
It is time for those malay politicians to wake up to the reality that our education system has failed to produce the right employable graduates for our job market. Too much emphasis on race factors has turned our education system into another malay affirmative apparatus at the expense of quality education to produce the needed human resources for our country
We are human and we have a higher level of intelligence than many others. If you cannot get employment, then change to something else. Be flexible and treat everything as knowledge. Is that so difficult?
By the way, jobs are a plenty and people are just being choosy. The young generation nowadays is just way too pampered! Wake up and see the world!
Yes, which Islamic country in the world today is strong in science technology, R&D, literature, etc?
The answer is a big NONE!
Drop Islam and malays would be a better race!
Practice true meritocracy no doubt will change everything. But that problem in our Malaysia society has rooted strongly, after years of "divide and conquer" by the "cunning" government. They do whatever they can, without thinking the effects in the future at all, as long as they remain as the ruling government.
So that is who and what we are today; no right and freedom of speech, identifying each other according to religions and races, deterioration of universities standards, certain group gets priority in everything they do, brain drain, and basically anything you can think of.
It is sad that after almost 50 years, we may have improve physically but mentally, it is at least the same 50 years ago or even worse. If this structure of governance continues, we will be just like Indonesia soon.
Are the politicians bold enough to make radical changes? Can they not think about their own benefits? Can they do it without the word "religions and races" in their mind, but for Malaysians as a whole?
All these have to start at the very basic level, primary or even nursery. I would suggest that they remove NEP with immediate effect and stop living in a fantasy world that malays need to be protected until they are ready to face the world. They won't be ready forever if you protect them and keep them within your fingers! There are plenty of analogies and I don't think it is necessary to say them here.
Go back to the root of problems and everything will be better. The cause is obvious!
Too much has been said.
When I actually make that giant leap, I make it solely for the future of my family. If you look at it from an economic point of view, I will lose more than half of my accumulated wealth.
Emigrating is simply a decision that I make within my family and has nothing to do with the guy next door. Call it selfish or whatever, but all I can say is that it is none of anyone's business. I am the one leaving behind the bad and good times, family and friends, my social circle, and the people and things I love.
If I had millions of surplus cash like many of our 'politicians', I might put it in a briefcase and just walk into another country and buy properties and live a good life. It might then be a decision that needs not much thinking about at all.
You see, I am not leaving my country, but leaving behind a system that does not present a fair future for my generation. It is a pity that my kids will not have the opportunity to grow up with their cousins and the older generation.
They will lose a very big part of our tradition, but I am hoping that they will grow up to be good human beings, able to do whatever they please with their future.
There is so much out there for everyone, but it is a pity that the lords and masters of our country are trying to limit the capabilities of our children. From where I stand, we are moving from becoming a developed nation to a backward nation in terms of intellectual ability.
See what is happening to our universities, as they churn out youngsters into a workforce that does not view them as valuable resources. This is due to the many limitations (government propaganda, quota, syllabus, etc) within the system that disallows young minds to be competitive and independent in the world market.
Everybody knows it, but no one dares speak out. This itself is creating a very subversive culture which will only damage the country in the long run.
Perhaps one day things will change, but I do not see it in the near future and am not willing to bet my family's future on it. Yes, I am looking for a better life, but not necessarily a wealthier life. When my kids become adults, where they choose to live, will be their decision.
The grass may not be greener on the other side, but you never, never know if you never, never go!
搞什麼???
怎麼被污染了~?
