Idiot Olympics on in Malaysia?

I didn't know that the Biggest Idiot Contest in on in Malaysia. There appears to be no shortage of idiots trying to out-do each other, usually at the level of the Federal Government. To say the least, the competition is stiff. My nominations would be:

The Best Idiot Award (70%) has to go to...the current "Hell Mini-ster". Why?

I read that they wanted to control the sale of acid in light of the current acid-attacks. (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/8/23/nation/9350801&sec=nation)

So, how is this going to happen? Does that mean that we can buy cars now but without the car battery? Or when we sell cars and we have to remove the batteries and keep in under our beds? Unfortunately, acid is extremely common in our daily products. Even lime juice (when concentrated a bit) can be corrosive. In short, it is damn difficult, if not impossible, to control the sale of acid. 

The Hell Mini-ster should have taken a hint from Hong Kong. If they didn't ban acid or control the sale of acid during their episode of acid attacks, how come he thinks we can? 

What should have been done is:

• Firstly, do NOT publish the attacks. Think about it. So what if you publish the attacks? There is no one the victims to prevent it. But it gives the sicko encouragement to carry out more attacks. 
• If you must publish the attacks, please tell people what they can do. Do not walk alone is about as stupid as it gets. So, how? You mean, we never walk alone? Avoid lonely places? So, walk in groups and get molested? Or raped? In short - there is only so much we can do and in this case, there is nothing much to do.
• The best 'cure' would be to tell the public to carry some fresh water as well as soda bicarbonate (found in baking sections, for about RM 1.50 per small plastic can). This will help neutralize acid, but it is not a good cure either. Again, if one is attacked, a friend or assistance would be required to rinse and pour soda bicarbonate on the acid splashed areas. This can be too late, but better than zero first aid.
• On Kosmo, it was published that they want to control the sale of acid. In a few pages, they reported the homeless in KL, and sadly was still homeless in KL during Hari Raya. This is the solution. A solution to crime. Imagine - the homeless is usually at the same spots for 24 hours, every day. They see a lot. Hear a lot and definitely knows the routine of the area, and who are the 'outsiders'. So, why not recruit them to be police informants? They only need to tell the police what they see or hear. That's it. Simple. In return, they get food, a place to stay and of course, a salary. They should be given free medical including glasses - just to be damn sure they can see and hear clearly. This is a win-win situation. The 'homeless' keeps a look out for the police / authorities, and they actually get employment. 

Alas, it really doesn't look like the government is competent enough to solve problems. It is more like a competition to see who is the biggest moron.

Another reason why the Hell Mini-ster should be nominated for 70% of this award is the Tear-Gas-a-Hospital Incident. All sorts of lies have been told, promises broken. Yet, no apologies. And more treats of saying MCA will stay out of government if they fail to perform. They should go ahead to even disband MCA should they fail to perform. Don't just stay out of the government and make noise behind the scene or end up being back-door Senators.

In line with our NEP policy, 30% of the Best Idiot Award goes to......Home Mini-ster (aka GAB promoter). Now we have tonnes of "legal" foreign workers and heaven knows how they ended up here - over 2 million of them. Funnily, I didn't come across that many sexy Indon gals. :) They are definitely bringing in the wrong 'talent'.
