A crying shame

I do not know when this picture was taken, whether it was before or during the current crisis ailing both Israel and Gaza. For a country that is considered impoverished, these Hamas leaders certainly know how to travel in style, and in private jets too.

Here one can see Ismail Haniya and his Hamas leaders on a trip. All I can say is that they are nothing but a bunch of fat cats [just look at their pouches] who could probably provide good company for Garfield. Are they fleeing Gaza?

What a crying shame!

I have just returned from my shopping spree in Taman Shamelin Perkasa in Cheras and despite the fact that there were about 7 to 8 companies which opened their doors to warehouse sales, there was this row of Malay stalls that were closed.

Were they closed because of the 3 pm ruling or were they closed out of the owners' own volition?

I felt it was such a waste to close the eateries when they were located right in the epi-centre of a warehouse shopping nerve centre in the area, and the captive market was there waiting for them to tap. Can you imagine the number of husbands, fiancés and boyfriends hanging out at the stalls to have a bite or a drink or both while their wives and girlfriends are happily spending their time shopping for a bargain.

What really got my attention was I suddenly felt a pang of hunger but there were no eateries opened. Oh, what a waste.

So if the Malays continue to perform badly in business, don't these UMNO Baru fellas start scapegoating the Chinese again.

Threat or reminder, they are the same

To tell you honestly, I am in a flux right now, and this is not the first time I am feeling this way especially when Gerakan start saying something illogical to protect the interests of its master knowing very well what the master said was actually what he meant, every word of it.

So Muhyiddin was not issuing a threat, but merely a reminder [quote unquote Mah Siew Keong], and this brings us back to the time when Mahathir unilaterally declared our country an Islamic state and Lim Keng Yaik was seen applauding the announcement during the Gerakan general meeting in 2001. After a public outcry, Gerakan said what Mahathir meant was, he was not referring to Islamic state per se but a Secular Islamic state. Duh???? I didn't know there was such a thing as a Secular Islamic State.

So on the current issue of threat or reminder, and In order not to be left out fanning the pot of curry, Liow Tiong Lai quickly joined in the chorus by supporting Mah Siew Keong, followed by KJ who said DAP twisted the words of the DPM.

While all these were going on, where is Muhyiddin? Isn't he the one supposed to be out there clarifying his stand whether it was a threat or a reminder? Until we hear from him, all these macais had better shut their mouths and stop twisting what Muhyiddin said.

Whether it was a threat or a reminder, as someone at the receiving end of that remark, it means one and the same to me.

Felixia Yeap is now a Muslim

This is not going to be a lengthy posting since the news of this model converting to a Muslim have already been hogging the headlines in cyber space for the last three weeks.

But what I have to say is this.  I am not against anyone who wants to convert to any religion or for that matter if the person wants to worship rocks, stones or rubbish dumps, that is the personal matter of the convertee.

In the case of Felixia Yeap, my only hope is that she practises her religion in good faith, and that she doesn't turn out to be another Tee Chuan Seng aka Ridhuan Tee who is currently on the warpath with the community he was born in.  She needs to practise the good values of the religion and be exemplary to others so that the religion can be looked upon and respected. The moment she starts to bad mouth her own community and gets on the high horse about her new religion, that is when she would end up ridiculed and discarded.

Unlike others who converted on the sly, Felixia did the right thing by openly announcing her conversion. This will no doubt help to avoid any misunderstanding should it occur in the future, that would bring much grief and pain to her family.

May she find peace and understanding in her new found faith.

The Taman Sungai Sering Residents Association Annual General Meeting

Last Sunday, June 29 2014, the residents association of Taman Sungai Sering held its third annual general meeting. It was a good time for neighbours to reacquaint themselves with one another and also the opportunity to highlight problems affecting the neighborhood.

We were also deeply honoured that the event could be graced by the presence of YB Dr Che Rosli bin Che Mat, MP for Hulu Langat, YB Haji Razaly bin Hassan, ADUN for Dusun Tua and YB Eddie Ng, ADUN for Balakong.

I guess, by now, many of you must have been informed of the road collapse at the Jalan Pudu/Jalan Imbi section.

In order to prevent further cracks to the road, it appears that the workers have used musking tapes to do the job.  This can't be for real, or is it?

This is the greatest blunder committed by UMNO Baru if I ever seen one ...
