The Brave New World of Fat4

As newspapers around Malaysia champions the relatively lowly popular BN government visit to China, Singapore could not say the same for its PM visit to China. Najib had a rousing welcome by non other than premier Wen Jia Bao. Sime Darby scored a big project in China, apparently the biggest ever by a foreign company, eclipsing any western countries investments.

Every country has an underground economy. It is a matter of how big it is. It is interesting to see Malaysia’s GDP or GNP or whatever economic measuring tools you use is only 10% of its neighbour Singapore but yet the people living in Malaysia can be seen driving nice big cars, live in big houses and fly around the region. Unbelievable? No wonder even newspapers around Malaysia recently claimed how Hillary Clinton has said that US are willing to learn from Malaysia and another proudly claimed that Obama salutes our PM. Come to think of it, besides being near to his childhood home of Indonesia, I doubt he will remember anything about Malaysia.

It is interesting that Malaysia will soon the second Thailand of South East Asia as they too seek the court for answers rather than the people. Personally, that is the furthest away from the principles of Democracy. The last time something disastrous that has happened when the courts area allow to decide is to allow a war criminal by the name George Bush to run a country.

Recently I have told a few friends that if I were to choose a political party that I would be interested in serving, it would definitely be MCA. Frankly, it is not as bad a party as some chinese would disasterously describe. For example, look at all the work that has been accomplished by Datuk Michael Chong. There could be more than one Michael Chong in Malaysia and so far no person from the Pakatan Rakyat has proven their worth.

Nizar has been confirmed as the legitimate MB for Perak. It is time for Nizar to do the right thing. Dissolve the state assembly and call for a fresh election. Yes, it might sound like it is not cost effective but it is the ONLY solution as it will return the effective power back to the people. Yes, the people of Perak.

In the continuation of the Mas Selamat being recaptured, medias from all different sides point to different department as instrumental to the capture.

The state of Perak saw some really interesting dramas that would put Taiwanese parliament as kindergarten standards. When the law doesn’t work, taunting and shouting matches were the norm of the day.

In a true democracy, the crux of a society is that all leaders are selected by the people. Unfortunately, this current state is not the result of BN but rather both camps.

Singapore’s most wanted fugitive has finally been caught. Though there were numerous theories on where he was hiding and that he had died in custody, the most absurb theory about how he actually came to Johor was thrown off.

How did a world class detention facilities allow its prisoner to escape especially one who is known to be a terror? How did its world class immigration allow him to go through (if it was true that he went over to Malaysia via the legitimate way)? Or how did its world class water police patrol allow someone to slip pass after launching one of the largest manhunt in Singapore’s history?

Rather than actually capturing anyone, they have made a mess and caused many millions of people who had to use the border crossing each month. How many man hours had been lost due to the stupidity of some higher persons in charge? Why hasn’t that higher person in charge come out and acknowledge their problem and resign?

There are just too many whys.

There was this massive hoo haa when Singapore Health Minister suggested perhaps Singapore may have to lower cost alternatives for their senior citizens. This had led to many discussion both on and off line about how the government has been so blind as to send the people who build up the country away.

Human beings have always been a funny kind. I get many nasty comments in the past because for one I do not think like any other human being and that made me unique. Majority of people are like in a herd. They follow blindly what others say without even studying the facts.

It is rather interesting to note that one of the biggest winners in the recent mini-budget as announced by our current Finance Minister is Air Asia.

Like I have said in my past posts, Air Asia may had been calling bluff in their previous KLIA @ East proposal whereby they would eventually be “forced” to accept a “good for all parties” solution at a specifically designed terminal with tax payers money. I was quite right when Najib announced a RM2billion funding for the building of a new LCCT terminal which could easily last Air Asia for the next decade.
