This is plain stupid. Period.
The worst ever decision by the Malaysian government under the reign of Najib.
The running cost is estiomated to go from Rm60 million to Rm300 million per year.
And I don't have to finish my ACCA papers to figure out how much schools and hospitals could be built with that much amount.
And I don't have to earn some Economics Degree from some fancy UK institution to figure out that most Malaysians won't even benefit from this investment.
Think about those Orang Asli kids who can't even make a decent living, yet their homes are being chopped down to make way for some development project.
Think about those Penans, Ibans, Muruts, Kadazans, Bidayuh and so on who lives in some of the most remote area in the world, with no proper education, water, electricity and even irrigation system.
Think about US. Malaysians in every sense of life from the hawkers in Jalan Alor, to the bartenders in Jalan P Ramlee.

EFFING LORD!!!!
An Indonesian maid was in a Hong Kong jail Thursday awaiting trial for mixing her menstrual blood in a pot of vegetables she was cooking for her employer. Indra Ningsih, 26, allegedly told police afterwards she mixed the blood into the meal in a superstitious effort to make her Chinese employer "more amiable and less picky" towards her.
The maid was arrested Tuesday and charged at a hearing Wednesday with administering a poison or other noxious substance with an intent to injure. She was remanded in custody until May 13.
Ningsih was arrested after her employer peered through the kitchen door and saw her acting suspiciously as she cooked vegetables for lunch.
When the employer checked, she found a blood clot-like substance mixed with the vegetables and a used sanitary napkin in the kitchen bin, according to a report in the Hong Kong Standard newspaper.
Prosecutors said that Ningsih told police her employer had been unhappy with her performance since hiring her last July and constantly scolded her.
She told police she mixed the blood with the food because she believed it would improve their relationship and make her employer kinder to her, according to prosecutors.
In 2008, a court in Saudi Arabia jailed two maids from Indonesia and the Philippines for four months and sentenced them to 250 lashes each for putting urine and menstrual blood in their employer's tea.
Another Indonesian maid in Hong Kong was jailed for three months in 2007 after being convicted of adding urine to the drinking water of her employer, believing it would make the family treat her better.
More than 200,000 women from the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand work as live-in maids for families in Hong Kong, doing housework and child care duties for a government-set minimum wage of around 450 US dollars a month.

Viva Forever, My Friends...
Do you still remember,
How we used to be,
Feeling together,
Believing whatever,
My love has said to me,
Both of us were dreamers,
Young love in the sun,
Felt like my saviour,
My spirit I gace you,
We'd only just begun...
Hasta Manana,
Always be mine,
Viva forever,
I'll be waiting,
Everlasting,
Like the sun,
Live forever,
For the moment,
Ever searching
For the one...
Yes I still remember,
Every whispered words
The touch of your skin,
Giving life from within,
Like the love song that I'd heard,
Slippin through our fingers,
Like the sand of time,
promises made,
Every memory saved,
Has reflections in my mind...
Back where I belong now,
Was it just a dream,
feeling unfold
They will never be sold,
And the secrets safe with me...
How we used to be,
Feeling together,
Believing whatever,
My love has said to me,
Both of us were dreamers,
Young love in the sun,
Felt like my saviour,
My spirit I gace you,
We'd only just begun...
Hasta Manana,
Always be mine,
Viva forever,

The touch of your skin,
Giving life from within,
Like the love song that I'd heard,
Slippin through our fingers,
Like the sand of time,
promises made,
Every memory saved,
Has reflections in my mind...
Back where I belong now,
Was it just a dream,
feeling unfold
They will never be sold,
And the secrets safe with me...
Its Been Eight Years...
Approximately eight years ago, I was elated to found out that I was placed into this institution, which is regarded as among the best in Malaysia's Secondary Education, where the creme de la creme were placed and trained as to be the front runner of the country's leadership and economy.
I was a student of MARA Junior Science College Kuala Kubu Bharu.
So there I was, all alone in a secluded district of Kuala Kubu Bharu, the Sleeping Hallows, as the British described it about a century ago, where it was the first British Administration centre in the State of Selangor, before Kuala Lumpur gained its fame.
I was alone, emotionally.
And there he was. i'm not sure wether I like him at the first place. But one thing for sure, I like people who is interesting, colourful, cheerful, motivated and "very gay". All and all, there was something in him that I couldn't quiet put my finger on. Mysterious. I would say.

Boy, I never thought It was going to be EIGHT years.
We literally done EVERYTHING together. We live together, we sleep together, we play together, eat together, study together, laugh, cry....dream....
And of course, being a super smart student Andi is, I always knew he would one day further his studies some where prestigious, somewhere farr away from this land of Sunshine. Far away from me.
The question is now, could I handle with the "thought", the mere thought of not having Andi by my side, not having Andi to cheer me up when ever I was down, not having Andi to show me how freak he is when studying, not having Andi to irritate me with his ultra liberal thoughts, not having Andi with.....almost everything?
I'm not sure I could handle that.
Now he is totally, absolutely, the reality has smack my face with the fact that Andi Rizal is really going off. To Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.
And it's been eight years since we first met...

Stay the Same, Andi!!!!!
Dont you ever wish,
You were someone else,
You were meant to be,
The way you are exactly,
Don't you ever say,
you don't like the way you are,
When you learn to love yourself ,
You better of by far,
And I hope you always stay the same,
Coz there's nothing bout you I would change.
I think that you could be ,
Anything that you wanted to be,
If you could realize,
All the dreams you have inside,
Don't be afraid
If you got something to say,
Just open up your heart
And let it show you the way
Believe in yourself
Reach down inside
The love you find will set you free
Believe in yourself
You will come alive
Have faith in what you do
You'll make it through...
Don't change...
This lyrics "Stay the Same" is dedicated to my bestest friend, Andi Rizal Za'ba, who is going to Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland to further his studies in Acturial Science.

One In A MILLION
1Malaysia, People Fisrt, Performance NOW!!!!
Actually, I would like to take this opportunity
to congratulate
our 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia
Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak
Eventhough it is a lil bit too late
But still, as a rakyat of Malaysia
I really hope that
Dato' Seri Najib
could bring prosperity and
Unity
to the life of the rakyat.
As per the slogan
1 Malaysia, People First, Performance Now
is indeed
significant
and to the aspiration
of the masses.
Still,
there are more to come.
The slogan shoudn't be made
as just another goverment's propaganda.
It should be implemented
and be put as a vision
and mission
for the rest of Malaysia.
So,
what does the slogan bring actually?
Or,
what does it mean by
1 Malaysia, People First, Performance NOW?!
Is there any other "Malaysia" out there?
Is the people, or the majority of the population being put last?
Is performance has been farther than late?
These questions arise with the slogan.
And it is the responsibility for the government of the day
to attend to these questions.
These are the principles
or the essences
of the slogan
that needs to be focused on
by Dato' Seri Najib
and his Cabinet Ministers
and the rest fo the Dewan Rakyat's MP.
The rakyat of Malaysia nowadays
have realised that
they are the biggest
and the most important
stakeholders
in Malaysia.
Not the Yang di-Pertuan Agong
Not the 11 Ruler of States
(Ampun Tuanku Patik Menjunjung Sembah Ke Bawah Duli Tuanku)
Not the PM himself
and not even the Member of the Dewan.
It is the voice of the stall owners
It is the voice of the teachers
It is the voice of the businessmen
It is the voice of the students
that will determine
the future of Malaysia Tanah Airku.
