Manhole at hospital

Now that the contractor for hospital maintenance, Faber Mediserve, has caused injury to the top cop in Penang, we finally hear some low-quality bullshit from the Health Minister. Those interested in the bullshit can visit:

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/6/21/nation/8939724&sec=nation

If one reads Lim Guan Eng's letter, it is clear that this contractor is completely unfit for the job. http://limguaneng.com/index.php/2011/06/20/surat-yab-lim-guan-eng-kepada-menteri-kesihatan-malaysia-dato-seri-liow-tiong-lai-untuk-membatalkan-kontrak-perkhidmatan-penyelenggaraan-oleh-faber-medi-serve-sdn-bhd-untuk-semua-hospital-di-pulau-pin/

My immediate thoughts on - change the staff of the maintenance team. So, which unfortunate hospital is going to bloody get this team of clowns? Shouldn't this team be replace (sack and hire a new team) rather than replace? Also, why isn't there a bloody enquiry before sacking? Is it because they do not intend to sack anyone? Shouldn't the less-than-honorable Minister be asking for a full report from Faber and make the report public? It does concern the public right?

But alas, the Minister appears to be the spokesperson for Faber. You know... most spokesperson for a company would be paid by the company.

Not covering or securing a work site is an offense under the Health and Occupational Health and Safety Act. But no news of anyone being charged. If it was a private hospital, one could argue that Faber Mediserve was helping the hospital generate more business.

Then, the stupid Minister went on to say "As long as it is public space, they need to do their job properly." What the fuck? You mean if it was a private hospital they could demolish the place? Or they are allowed to increase the rate of industrial accidents for their own workers? Or injure doctors and nurses so long it is out-of-bounds for the public? Or kill-the-top-cop if it was a Generator Room?

Then this asshole goes to blame the age of the hospital. If that contractor cannot maintain an "old" building, get a new one - on a proper tender basis, of course. Certainly the hospital did not age overnight, and neither did any of its patients.

Even when such a serious accident has happened, all he could bloody say is "action MAY be taken". What kind of action? Shouldn't the buggers be sacked?

If he ever says that his hands are tied in appointing the contractor, I say, we get someone else who can get the job done of sacking the contractor. Bloody idiot. The part that gets me angry is, he really believes we 'stupid' Malaysians will accept such idiotic explanations.

+ sign banned

We are eagerly awaiting for the + sign to be banned. In fact, the students are praying for the + sign to be banned. This would be that mathematics might not be a subject for them to study. In the mean time, Muslim students are allowed to skip sums which requires addition.

For example:
1+5 = "Sorry. I cannot answer this question as it is against my religion."

To replace the + sign with something more "Malaysian", some has suggested it be called Jib, in honour of the PM.

Question:
Class, what's 2 Jib 3?

Answer from student:
1

Teacher:
Why 1? How can 2 Jib 3 be one? Isn't it suppose to be 5?

Student:
Suppose to be 5, but Jib pocketed 4 maaah.

A doctor in the house - Memoirs of the forgetful

Well, the first task the doctor will have to do is, to remember he is a doctor. Hahaha. I was shocked to read that Dr. M has published his memoirs. Is this the same fellow who "Lupa Lupa Lupa" during the Royal Commission Inquiry about the "Looks like me, sounds like me" case?

If he so "Mudah Lupa", what would be in the memoirs? Pages after pages of "it has happened a long time ago, I forgot". Or is the memoir entirely fictional - just like this blog?

The mind boggles. Question to the doctor:

1. Is there a cure for selective amnesia?
2. Why not title the book "Mahathir Mudah Lupa", a sequel to Melayu Mudah Lupa?

Only in Boleh-land...

Solving stuff amicably: Part 1

Well, I read this article on The Star about the Allah issue and Bibles being detained at ports. In short - not easy to import a Bible. Mind you, the Bible cannot be printed in Malaysia. And the Minister (the say one who awards law breakers with extended discount periods for traffic summonses) - said - it will be resolved amicably.

That's when my imagination started to get wild. What's some people's definition of amicably? Is it, you will have to beg and bribe before you get something approved? Or they just keep you waiting for as long as they like? Or if they can make your life miserable, they will?

More than that, The Star also printed:
"I urge all parties not to listen to wild allegations and speculations. As always, the ministry will act based on the law," he said in a statement here on Sunday.

Oh my. The Law. Is it the same Law that said that all traffic offenders should be hauled to court when they fail to compound their summonses? Or is the Law being selectively applied? (a.k.a Anwar Ibrahim and Chua Soi Lek).

What they do not release is, such actions cause them to loose all respect.

Disclaimer: I did not vote for these bunch of clowns to govern the country.

Saiful

I read the case about Saiful with great fascination. First, the found his semen on his underwear. So, you mean, he enjoyed it too? Remember, as far as guys is concerned, you cannot get your penis hard if it doesn't want to - let alone ejaculate. Most of the time, our didi goes soft at the sign of something ugly, ugly thoughts or something we really dislike. By ugly, I do not just mean visually. It could be an ugly idea.

Next, there was another two male semen on his underwear. Since all along he only mentioned Anwar sodomized him, it sure looks like a gang bang than just plain rape. Hmmm. If it was introduced into his anus by Anwar's penis, it would be a fair bit of the 'other' male semen for it to ooze out to the underwear.

Previously, he said he didn't shit for two days. Also didn't shower for two days.

At this juncture, we really have to wonder what the fuck is going on. On top of that, why not go after the easier cases.... like Chua Soi Lek having his dick sucked - that's on video man. And Chua never said it looked like him, sounded like him but it's not him.

Zaid ... a true NEP product

Well, Zaid Ibrahim is busy quitting PKR. It is turning out to be a long drawn affair. Well, from what I could see, Zaid is a true product of NEP. He has the hand-out mentality. To be fair, he is not alone. He expected to be someone, to win the PKR elections. He has not worked his way up (hack, he just joined recently), but yet, he expects something. The true handout mentality. I am sure there are plenty of other candidates, with a longer track record who can serve better. Even MP Loh Gwo Burne has been with PKR for longer periods.

This mentality has also infected businesses. People get promoted on seniority, rather than on achievements. Many times, a engineer is simple promoted to be a manager. In my view, it would be better they remain in engineer with a higher salary for more responsibilities. Why? Most of the time, they make horrible managers. Don't blame them - they were never trained for it.

How many companies look at the record of a true professional? For example, number of research papers, number of citation, presentations, patents, publications? Almost never, especially for Malaysian companies. Some MNCs do. As for the rest the hand-out mentality rules. If I have graduated with a First Class Honours, I expect a good salary. I say, eff that. You work for it.

It is high time both political and the commercial mindset be changed. No one should just sit there and expect to be voted. In Zaid's case, what has he done? Has he a draft of proposed legal admentments should he be elected Prime Minister? How does he plan to clean up the judiciary? How many pro-bono cases is he representing now? What are his contributions to the rakyat? To the nation?

A true hero in this field would be no other than Mr. Karpal Singh. Yup - always DAP. Worked hard. Stayed in DAP. ISA didn't stop him. Ops Lalangs did not worry him. He fights. Represents victims of injustice (Teoh Beng Hock, the Seremban mechanic murder case, and many others). I can only be thankful to see Gobind having such great values. I don't think Zaid even helped in Anwar's sodomy II case.

Well, this is what happens to NEP, ketuanan Melayu, UMNO politics and more handouts. Frankly, I doubt it if the non-Malays want NEP removed. Why make real competitors? The current bunch is just good for business.

Malaysia, a Liberal Country Indeed.

Now that Isa has won the by-elections, and Najib says that Isa has paid his dues and can be given a second chance, I do wonder how this new situation can benefit me. What if...

I hire a bunch of 16 year old gals, real sweet, sexy and perhaps even slutty. I have sex with them. Or even bugger my sexytary, who is 21. Indeed, sex with minors and anal sex is against the law. So is bribery to buy votes. But, let's us say, my boss catches me and suspends me from work for about say, 2 years. Does that mean I don't have to be charged in court? After all, I have been punished by employers for screwing other employees, kind of like Isa being punished by UMNO. It's all an internal matter, within the same company. Hmmm. Should I start hiring some sexy sluts? Young ones too... This indeed opens up many opportunity / pussy for me to fuck.

If a brother rapes his younger sister, and the father punishes the boy, does that mean there is no police case? Or if mother abuses or murders her daughter, and the husband chains her up and punishes her, then, she doesn't need to be charged in court? Family matter mah. And they have all paid their dues, according to Najib.

I am not sure what the law says about all this. Kind of fuzzy right? Time to give Lingam a call to see if he can help clarify.

Effing Idiots

The Star today bloody reported that BN will reduce funds to Pakatan Rakyat governments. The reason, to quote the Star:

“Little do the people know that what the opposition government is giving comes from the Barisan Nasional Federal government,” he claimed when debating the president’s policy speech at the Umno General Assembly here on Friday.

"He" is actually the Selangor delegate Abdul Shukur Idrus .

Now, that's an asshole. Who the fuck do you think BN Federal gets their money from? The poor rakyat and from our taxes. He fucking talks like it is BN who is paying for everything. Hello asshole... you are on our pay role. Come the next elections, I will bloody tell him they are all fired.

MCA has just been saved.

The outcome of the MCA results would have been the best for MCA. I do not support MCA but when there is a good lesson, I give them credit. Ong Tee Keat lost. Dr. Chua Sok Lek lost. That's the most logical and best to do. Why? It is simple isn't it? Both were elected by the MCA members. Both started fighting. And both are now, more or less, voted out. The results says, look you idiots, if you cannot work together, both of you will now have to go.

Any winner would have been a death sentence to the organization. If there is a winner, people will continue to fight. When both idiots loses, it will suddenly dawn upon them they have erred. More importantly, the other monkeys in the future will remember to work and not fight.

Same goes for the workplace. If the bosses start to take sides, there will be endless fighting. There must never be a winner. There must only be a team. One team. I learnt my lesson back in University. We were not allowed to choose our lab partners and assignment partners. Strange right? The wisdom was simple - in real life, one does not get to choose his or her workmates, most of the time anyway. After all, *ahem*, this is the University of Melbourne. Ahem.

I have no idea why the some newspapers are screaming that the crisis in MCA has just deepened. It has just been solved. Everyone was expecting a winner. Sure, if one analyses the votes, it is split in the middle. By a darn small margin, the outcome was great.

And the biggest winner of them all? The bookies. No one expected both parties to be kicked out. Such is life.

Singaporean Weather Report

Anyone paid attention to the Singaporean Weather report / forecast? I did so on ... I was watching some Singaporean channel and the news was on. No, it didn't take a naked news presenter to get my attention.

Here's what's weird. They spend heaps of time reporting the weather in Singapore. After all, how big would Singapore be? Then, there was the international weather report - including far away places like London. How much can the weather vary in Singapore? And isn't it true that there will be more Singaporeans in Melaka or Johor?

I would think that the Singaporean Government would do their citizens a favour by providing *useful* information? I think the report on Johor Baru, Melaka would be very useful, especially during the weekend.

F1 - What the eff?

Wow! Malaysia will field a F1 team. Can you imagine, in football, we rank worse than Yemen and some other third world countries. Maybe our footballers can be retrained to be F1 drivers. Trust me - that might be no different from the F1 drivers that the powers-to-be has selected.

On another note, I am in a full holiday mood now. Too darn lazy to have any work done. Yes, it is Raya and it is time to eat and sleep. Spend some time with my friends-with-benefits. And more time doing gardening. Sigh. Need to wash my car badly too...

15Malaysia

While I have enjoyed various 15Malaysia videos -you know what is ironic? It uses the .com domain. It wouldn't even use the .com.my domain name....well - that's so much for being proud to be Malaysian!

Najib's Hair

Anyone noticed lately? Prime Minister Najib's hair is getting 'blacker' by the day. This chap is smart. The dye is progressive. It starts from the back, slowly moving towards the front now.

Guess he must have a better image. Lets see how this helps him with his new 1Malaysia image.

The Prefect

The political landscape in Malaysia has changed a bit - with more weeds tainting the picture. Najib is now prime minister. That's OK. Someone has to be prime minister.

But what the heck - Dr. Koh Tsu Koon - voted out by the Penang people for a job badly done, is now the guy who will monitor the performance of the federal government of Malaysia. Can you imagine this? How lame can it be. I suppose the politicians just cannot take a hint - he bloody got voted out by the people.

On the night of the three by-elections, the buggers commented that people were cheated by the opposition and not see that BN will be bring development. What a clown. BN is outdated. Old ideas, about race and development. That worked when Chin Ping was in Malaysia. Hell, even the Queen of England is a gracious old lady by now. But yet, BN's marketing ploy remains unchanged. And for the record, when we vote for the opposition, we want change. We want performance. Lip service is so yesterday.

And the good news? In the Bukit Gantang by-elections, it is said that more Chinese supported PAS. It shows one thing clearly: Support for PAS is based on track record and performance - not race or religion!

Chinese? English? Bahasa Malaysia?

There has been a great debate on language to teach Maths and Science in Malaysia. I am no educationalist, but here's my two cents. Which language is the most efficient for Maths? That's my question.

In English, to count from 0 to 10:

Ze-ro, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Se-ven, Eight, Nine, Ten

It takes 13 (thirteen) syllables to do the count.

In Chinese, it would be:

ling, yi, er, san, si, wu, liu, qi, ba, jiu, shi
Very efficient with only 11 syllables. About 15% more efficient than English.

Now, in Bahasa Malaysia:

Ko-song, Sa-tu, Du-a, Ti-ga, em-pat, li-ma, e-nam, tu-juh, la-pan, sem-bi-lan, se-pu-luh.
My my. It takes up to 24 syllables just to count. That's almost double the amount in English and more than double if compared to Chinese.

So, you tell me - between English and Bahasa Malaysia - which is more practical? I say, it will be English. Chinese is not practical as not many Malays and Indians or non-Chinese (and some Chinese like myself) who can speak / write in that language. I cannot. In the business world, English is also more widely accepted.

Still wanna debate? Not patriotic? Always remember - being patriotic means making the other bastard die for his country. No point we all die by losing out when it is just counting from one to ten.

History Repeats Itself

Sad times in Malaysia, with the deaths due to landslide in Bukit Antarabangsa. That area has be so prone to landslides. I truly feel sorry and sad for the victims. I admire the rescue workings, working in a dangerous situation - mind you, they are hardly paid enough to just work, let alone in a disaster zone.

And the blame game continues. Who exactly is responsible. In my opinion, it is all about demand and supply. Without blaming the victims, Malaysians as a whole, has to be smarter consumers. We must wake up. If there is no demand, there will be no supply. Take for example prostitution. It's the world's oldest profession. As long as there is demand, there is a supply. Simple.

So, for all those buying houses - don't bother to buy houses in forest reserves or hillside. We have to be smart. We cannot leave it to a bunch of engineers with conflict of interest to say a place is safe. We can no longer leave it to the government.

Some residents want to sue the government. That's OK with me, but at the end of the day, that's really shooting ourselves in the foot. Why? The government will just use taxpayers' money to compensate the victims. Individually, nothing ever happens. Instead, I would suggest (or perhaps in addition) to bring back local council elections. Yup - kick the bunch of rascals out when they screw up.

Also - it is time to blacklist the owners of the developers. Don't bother to blacklist a bunch of private limited company with peanuts as paid up capital. That won't work. Instead, blacklist the individuals. Publish names. Publish their other business, and yes - boycott them. Hit it where it matters, and that's the wallet. Sure, it can be below the belt, but hey, life isn't fair and for once, it isn't fair in their advantage.

Really, it is time Malaysians take care of themselves. We cannot rely on politicians or acts of God to save us. We have to be smart. We savvy. Like cars, we just have to learn to buy better cars, instead of just "Wow - nice colour. Sexy design too". In short, time to look for some brains instead of just beauty.

Malaysian Politics

Ah... So sweet to read that the Second Finance Minister for Malaysia Nor Mohamed Yakcop proudly anounced that Malaysians are safe from the financial storm as we have lots of savings. In may ways, that's true. But then again, it is also the government's idea - The First Finance Minister - Najib, who mandated that monthly contributions to EPF, the savings for old age, be reduced beginning January 2009.

This is when I go, What the Eff? Is Najib trying to ruin the country? Or is the Second Finance Minister lying? How does this all work out? Silly isn't it? And to think that Najib will be prime minister... oh lordy lord. Wish we have God Save the Country...

***

MCA on the other hand is busy killing itself. Chua Soi Lek is being sidelined and that's bloody obvious. The Number 1 in MCA says that's not the case. You know what? I say, in the next general elections, the rakyat will sideline the both of them. Whatever it is, Chua has done some good when he was the health minister. Don't recall Ong doing much. Then again, who cares... like diapers, they should be changed often.

Votes for Sale

That's right. Votes are indeed for sale in Malaysia. BN has offered up to RM 0.30 per litre of subsidy for petrol, while our friend Anwar Ibrahim made a more generous offer of RM 0.50 per letre of subsidy for petrol. I wonder will someone counter offer and dish out free petrol.

Yup, the politicians are into vote buying, be it the ruling or the former ruling. It does look like a Friends for Sale or Votes for Sale application out of Facebook. The sadder part is, most Malaysian votes are actually up for grabs this way. It is the mother of all lelong (auction) in Malaysia. Now, USA must be happy that free-trade and democracy is going well, hand in hand.

Anwar even went on to say, Petronas is profitable - so, the entire Malaysia should benefit from it. Huh? Did he read the Little Red Book by Chairman Mao when he was doing time? Petronas, by and large, is a private entity. Sure, some would argue the government shouldn't have sold it. But Anwar didn't bother to say - how much exactly of Petronas' profit is from Malaysia. I am pretty sure a large chunk of it is from overseas. So, why on earth so Malaysians get those profit? Wouldn't such statement scare the daylights out of foreign investors? What's next? Put for subsidized Intel CPUs for Malaysians?

The sad thing is, Malaysians enjoy being buggered. For the purpose of argument, let's say it is 50 cents per litre - the subsidy. And being patrotic, I drive a Proton Waja. Know something? Excise duty is RM 11843 while sales tax is RM 5758 for a stupid Proton Waja. So, the total tax is RM 17501. This is enough subsidy for 35202 litres of petrol. Assuming I use about 30 litres a week (or about 350 km per week, which is reasonable), it bloody takes me about 1170 weeks to re-claim my taxes. That works out to be 22 years. So, Anwar, go do something with yourself on the so called subsidy. It is actually pre-paid petrol, which in after 10 years, the car is rotten and I will have to pre-pay for more petrol. Ok, you may use more petrol, even by doubling it up to 60 litres a week, it is pre-paid petrol for 11 years. Will a Proton last 11 years? Mind you, these are based on a lousy Proton Wira. (I've not included road tax yet!).

A well played game indeed by the politicians. Using the rakyat's money to buy the rakyat's votes. Malaysia Boleh!

So, to my fellow "Votes for Sale" rakyat, please ask the bloody politicians to GET RID of the SUBSIDY. At the same time, GET RID of the TAXES! Now, I would like to see a politician say that. Otherwise, we are all just buggered, one way or the other. It doesn't matter if we are getting shafted by a gay guy or getting shafted by a lady with a strap-on. The nett result is, we are buggered!

Comics page is out of place

It is a Monday morning and as usual, gravitational pull between my bed and I was particularly strong. Right now, I was looking more like a cross between a panda with two black eyes and a mashimaro typing. The only problem is, both the panda and the mashimaro are cuter than I am.

When I read today's NST, I noticed something was wrong. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. First, an article about the swimming pool in Terengganu. The pool, newly built / refurbish, was used for the recent Malaysian Games. The swimmers were good, breaking many national records.

Alas, came today's news. An insider has revealed that the pool is actually 40cm short of the standard 50m length. Wow! That's what I call news. Checked again. Nope, it is not the comics page. Heck no, it's not April 1st. Not even in planet Mars it is 1st of April. Or did they describe the comedy series The Games? It sure did remind of the series The Games, a satirical show by the Australian Broadcasting Channel. There was a episode about the 100m track shorter than 100m.

Guess someone must have watched the show and decided to play a practical joke. Or is this just development brought to us by BN? Well, it is definitely a world's first and I am sure the pool must earn a place in the Malaysian Books of Records. The swimming pool that is a little short. Hehehe. But then again, think of the advantages. If our athletes fail to perform at the 2008 Olympic Games, maybe they can say "Did anyone measure the pool? I think it is too long!". Malaysia Boleh.

Then, on another page - was another joke by BN. An asshole named Hamidah Osman, raised the issue "If you see an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first." She was referring to Malaysians of India origin. Not bad. She raised it in the Perak state assembly. How relevent is that question? She retracted it, but it shows it was done with bad faith. What does it prove? It shows that the Prime Minister is asleep, because he has yet to say anything about this. The DPM Najib is a ball--less creature, because he didn't discipline Hamidah either. The police are not apolitical, because if someone said anything bad about the Malays, it would be detained under ISA for inciting racial hatred.

The Finance Minister asked, why should they consult the Penang State Government when they've decided to cancel a few projects in Penang. Since BN lost Penang, the Federal Government has decided to cancel a few mega-projects, including the Penang Monorail. This is a quote from the NST "What is there to consult? These are federal projects," said Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.

Hmm. The Minister must be badly confused. Is the rakyat in Penang exempted from paying taxes to the Federal Government? If they are paying, surely the bloody minister has to explain to their leader. No, instead, that asshole has decided to be arrogant and show it up their ass. What the fuck. Yes, time to vote BN out of the Federal Government. Or move fast to Penang. After all, maybe Penang is free from federal income tax!

So, welcome to Malaysia, currently governed by a bunch of arrogant, corrupt, ball-less racists.

At the rate things are going, I really think BN wants to hand over government to another party.

Inflation

An article on the NST today, which I think it is written by a doffus. It was commenting on inflation. The advice: spend less. What the heck? Who in the right mind would suggest that. Here's a story...



Let's say you got $100 at 5pm today. You know that when you wake up tomorrow morning, the price of bread would have increased from $1 to $2, rice from $40 to $80. What would you do? Keep the money? Of course no. You spend all of it. Why keep the money (which is just paper with some fancy printing) and loose the value.



So, how could this doffus tell the rakyat to spend less? The rakyat should be doing better things with their money to beat inflation. Spend prudently, but for crying out loud, please do not keep cash! I actually learnt about this back in my uni days. Back then, I too, was a doffus.



***



The Sun newspapers certainly did cheer me up a great deal this morning. It did bring the full meaing of the word 'priceless'. It ran a picture of Datuk Abdul Karim Mansor. Mansor is the state assemblyman for Tanjong Sepat, I think. A couple of days ago, he was leading a huge group to protest a pig farm in Tanjong Sepat, calling the present government insensitive. He said that Muslim rights were being threatened.





Picture from http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=21559. Click on link to read the whole article.



Then, the Sun published this picture. It is Mansor, thumbs up in a pig farm in Germany. (at least it looks like him, may sound like him, but it may not be him. Now, say "Thank you, Lingam.") Hahaha. Why thumbs up? Because he wanted to start a company which owns the pig farm and collect levy for every pig. Back then, there was no Muslim rights being treatened. As long as he gets the money, Muslim or no Muslim, thumbs up!



Way to go BN! They may be bad at running the country but it sure gives my day a good start - laughter! That's a good painkiller too.
