Malaysia 6th Prime Minister

Congratulations to Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak who was sworn in as Malaysia's 6th Prime Minister this morning. I wish him all the best and may he has the strength and wisdom to take Malaysia to greater heights.

And, finally I am able to remove 'Berundurlah' poster on the top right hand side of this blog. I would also like to wish Pak Lah all the best and may he be able to 'sleep' soundly during his retirement.

Choose wisely

Dear UMNO delegates, please choose your new leaders wisely as you are carrying the responsibility given by members of your Bahagian!

Update 30/03/2009: I would say that UMNO delegates have made acceptable choices for most of the party top leaders, except a few of the Supreme Council members. And sad to note that 304 UMNO Youth delegates still voted for the new UMNO Youth chief although UMNO Discliplinary Board found him guilty under 'Perkara 10.1 Perlembagaan UMNO'.

The calling… More please!

The call for our elected representatives to serve their constituents to the best of their ability, i.e. by resigning (here & here) has finally reached the ears of those ‘responsible’ MPs and ADUNs (here & here). My hope is that more of our ‘beloved’ and ‘respected’ YBs will follow suit.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Wishing all Malaysians a Happy Chinese New Year! May the year of the ox bring joy to each and everyone of us. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Tax to all Malaysians!

It seems that we have been paying tax to Government – all of us (at least those who purchase fuel for our transportation needs) since a few weeks back. Instead of receiving subsidy (if I’m not mistaken, a 30 cents subsidy was mentioned as the minimum that the Government will provide), we are now paying tax to Government as the 'actual' price of fuel is below the price at the pumps. Effectively, we have been ‘subsidising’ the government. The RM625 subsidy is now just ‘chicken feed’ to Government as they must have collected quite a handsome amount by now.

I hope our Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs can provide us a ‘true’ picture about this – and ‘effectively’ play his part in taking care of ‘consumer affairs’…

Ending soon... 'Perjuangan Hampir Selesai'

Very, very soon I can finally remove the poster (thanks to Sheikh Kickdefella) on the top right hand corner of this blog... Can't wait for that to happen.

Hope that someone can tell me why the piece was written by 'Kali' in the NSTP today (10 Oct 2008). In one go, he insulted almost everyone in UMNO - the piece on 'KORO' written by Datuk AKJ comes to mind. It pointed out that nobody dares to do anything since Dr M (now Tun) resigned... iskh iskh iskh. That includes all members of 'EMP''TY' UMNO, two of whom will soon be our PM and DPM.

What can we look forward to, in the era after Pak 'Flip Flop' Lah? Maybe an upgrade to 'Crocs' instead. I'm betting that things would be same, only with different players. Hmmmm, can I be one of the 'advisers'?

Selamat Hari Raya & Maaf Zahir Batin

l would like to take this opportunity to wish all Moslems 'Eid Mubarak' and to ask for forgiveness. May this blessed Syawal brings joy to all of us Malaysian!

And to those in power, please take a moment to ponder on the plight of a typical Malaysian and may you make a wise decision...
