妳生了龍寶寶嗎？

2012-01-26T02:41:00.001+08:00

立春，是二十四節氣之一，中國以立春為春季的開始，每年的2月4日或5日太陽到達黃經315度時為立春。 ”古代“四立”，指春、夏、秋、冬四季開始，農耕業意義為“春種、夏長、秋收、冬藏”，概括了農業生產與氣候關係的全過程。
立春是24節氣之首，古代民間都是在“立春”這一天過節，相當於現代的"春節"，陽曆正月初一稱為"元旦"。

不過春節（立春)只能說春天來了，不能代表新年的第一天。元旦（大年初一）才是新年的第一天。中國古代'元旦'歷來指的是農曆正月初一。“元旦”的“元”，指開始，是第一的意思；“旦”，即太陽從地平線上冉冉升起，象徵一日的開始。人們把“元”和“旦”兩個字結合起來，就引申為新年開始的第一天。

問題是正月初一和立春哪個才是一年之首?

在1913年7月，袁世凱擬定陰曆元旦為“春節”，次年（1914年）起開始實行。自此，夏曆歲首稱春節，一直相沿至今。

所謂的紫薇斗數及命運，應是立春命盤，故屬應當從立春開始計算。屬相也是以立春為準,並不是以正月初一為界。

2012年是壬辰年(龍年)。壬辰年生肖屬龍五行屬水。2012年也應以立春以後出生的人才是屬龍的水命人。鄰國的總理正大力鼓勵吹他的的國人多生龍寶寶。很多人以為在正月初一(1月23日）後出生的孩子就是龍寶寶。其實，2012年立春是在2月4日下午6點22分23秒，過了這天這個時辰出生的人才算真正的屬於龍。

你的孩子會不會早生了幾天？

不要把自己的想法加在他人的身上!

2012-01-25T17:15:00.005+08:00

一個少年人看到一個小男孩一直很羨慕地看著他那美麗和昂貴的汽車。一種想要顯耀的心理使他邀請小男孩遊車河。。。

遊車河後，小男孩說：“你的車是如此美麗和奇妙，它可能會很昂貴吧？它的價錢是多少....?"

少年人自豪的說：“我不知道，我哥哥送給我的生日禮物！”

男孩很羨慕的說：”哇，你哥哥真好！”

少年人說：“我知道你在想什麼，你也想有像他這樣的一個哥哥，對嗎？”

男孩大笑說：“不，我想成為一個像他這樣的兄弟!!!"

不要把自己的想法加在他人的身上？你認為呢？

新年气象

2012-01-23T15:48:00.036+08:00

祝您新年新气象！ 福星高照，万事如意！新年鸿运到，路路迎财神！新年快乐，身体健康。

您查看了在龍年的吉凶嗎？

各種各樣的年货展示強攻市場，這麼多人買年货，你能說經濟不景嗎？

您喜歡普通香腸火及腿或是有九百年歷史的金華火腿？

這些是不是濫用廣告？

零食可口是可能，可不能說是健康。

黄大仙怎可能同意？

太商業化了，假的許願樹，把願望扔到樹上不久，就被工人拿下！

看一看，有多少年货是从台灣進口的？是不是台灣货的天下？中國货在那里？是台灣年货比较可口？是台灣年货比较衛生安全？或是台灣出口商比较厲害包裝？

這個年輕人連續喊了一個多鐘頭不停促消產品，喊到聲音嘶哑，賺錢真不易！

再看一看，怡保柚子在新加坡的價格，如再換一換貨幣，柚子是不是一種很貴的水果？可是真正到達果農手中的是多少？

紅封包已商業化，不再免費奉送。

在此祝您一馬當先，二龍騰飛，三羊開泰，四季平安，五福臨門，六六大順，七星高照，八面來風，九九歸一，十全十美，萬事大吉!

马华, 谢谢 !

2011-07-30T20:03:00.001+08:00

今日看到一则‘见鬼’的新闻：“马青副总秘书罗秋俊促雪兰莪民联州政府尽早落实批准，在2009年初答应给八打灵再也发展华小工委会的8块用以兴建华文小学的土地，好让马华可以从旁协助兴建华小，共同为华文教育而努力。”

马华不是一直向华社强调建设华小除他舍谁？怎么会由主角变配角？

不过这也好，雪兰莪民联州政府应尽早落实承诺。马华也一定不干输给民联， 会在由国阵执政的每一州，建设更多华小，以履行他的承诺。

总会长，总团长， 谢谢！

*后语，不然，就由那个嘴多多的副总秘书自己搞定好了。

大马，你生病了？!

2010-11-06T23:27:00.011+08:00

今年的总稽查司报告继续揭发诸多政府及官联公司的弊端,但是有用吗？咱们掌管政府部门关键绩效指标的首相署部长许子根却竟然没有谈追究，没有谈责任、没有谈后续行动，矢口否认本身监督无力，仅丢下一句与监督无关的话，更辩称这些部门过失的导因是“人不是完美的!”。老天呀，这不是变相的鼓励政府及官联公司继续滥用公帑，滥权，大肆挥霍纳税人的钱吗？濫权是一種腐敗的行為,也是一種贪污。贪污是國家及人民的首号公敵!!!靠走后门的部长会不知道？您相信吗？"政党连根拔起是平常事!"的这句话都能说出口的部长,你想依靠他？算了。

两个发表种族歧视言论的国中校长没有被对付，更被极端份子歌颂！老天爷，这是什么世界?

大选，补选时，大派金錢、贿金说是助选费，把人们当成白癡。

签署假宣誓书的侦探，还没被控告上庭。

每一年学术优秀的学生在得不到我国协助深造的机会後都会被他国（尤其是新加坡更是虎视眈眈，等待吸收我国卓越的、優秀的学生）所吸纳。其他国家可省下十七、八年的时间及金錢就可得到一个能培训成材的现成优秀学，为其国家服务、做出贡献，何乐不为？

笔式内存器是马来西亚人创造的。发明人是独中生，他的文凭得不到我国政府承认，更不用说能申请我国政府奖学金出国深造。我们大大方方做个顺水人情,把用了十多廿年时间裁培成长的人才送给台湾，更同时送走了每年营业额达廿亿美金、造就五仟多个就业工作机会的上市公司雙手送给台湾，真够海派、真够大方！！！大马能！

一个叫Bilce Tan的，在社交网络上寫了两则毒辣冷血的留言：赵明福赌博输钱，欠下钜款，用死来逃避。。。另一则：我们应该尽快送赵丽兰去见赵明福、家属大团圆。。。这人的真正身份据网友揭露，是某地區马青组织秘书。马华能寬容這種冷血動物,畜生?您说呢？

还有很多很多其他的，不说了,不说了。不说也罢，再说佛都有火。。。

馬華的KPI在哪裡?

2010-06-27T15:13:00.003+08:00

今日再看到很多在申請KPLI成功後，被從華校華文组調轉國小華文组。受影響的學員上訴也上訴了，投訴也投訴了，但是結果是肯定的：不成功！

非常欽佩有兩位不為五斗米而折腰的女臨教，寧願放棄師訓的機會。獨中還在等什么？還不趕快雇用这兩位有志氣的女臨教？

可是，馬華教育部副部長還是不改官話，要受影響的學員向教育部師訓组提出上訴。

老天爺啊，難道他不知道連受過華校華文组培訓的老師也會被分派到國小教導華文，上訴全不受理！

不只是首相在檢查KPI, 馬華總會長也在審查馬華部長及副部長是否合格。

馬華教育部副部長還是運用您副部長的權力吧：下一道命令，要陽奉陰违的官員立刻把這些及之前受影響的華校華文组培訓的老師調回華校職教。要不，您的KPI如何及格呢？

還是向馬華總會長提出上訴會更好呢？

馬華再输一球!?

2010-06-27T12:49:00.002+08:00

馬華之前不顾華社反對 ，一意孤行，高调讚同合法化賭球。

在首相宣佈不发出賭球執照後，仍然有一些馬華部長及副部長不死心，還一再為合法化賭球找說詞，真是的！

從这件事看來，反對黨指责馬華“當家不當權”，豈是一派胡言，無理取鬧？

馬華啊，馬華，你說你是華社的靠山，華社的脊椎。真的吗？

您怎麽說？

一個清閒的下午

2010-06-19T20:46:00.004+08:00

劉景堂（1887-1963）的这首词
“斷港蘆花飛雪，空山桂子流丹。
隔林風急葉聲乾。不見秋意老，只覺月光寒。　　
醉裏暫忘身世，醒來仍是人間。莫教幽恨損朱顏。
百年彈指盡，能得幾回閒。”
即使并不很合景，可是“人生难的几回閒” 才是这里的重點。

看看這裡忙里偷閒的人，有老，有小，有男，有女；有從不相识的到相识，有從相识的到知交，這是何等的寫意，何等的可贵！

他们在看什么？难道有什么宝贝？

原来是有人在下棋。

这里并不流行观棋不语真君子。看的人可能比棋手更緊张，不开口可难倒他们了！
这位棋手的對手是不是太差了？看他在那里談笑風生，真是的。想要杀一杀他的威风，可是下棋不是我的內行。

看看這这位棋手，就可知道他是如何緊张了。

取消奖学金留人才!?

2010-06-16T23:55:00.001+08:00

政府在《第十大马计划》这边厢中曾承诺要在未来5年内，全力发展青年计划，包括提供金钱援助、国外深造及培训计划等未几，然而首相署部长纳兹里却以避免人才外流为由，意圖合理化政府抑或取消公共服务局海外奖学金的措施。

日前許多优秀生不仅奖学金拿不到，预科班也拿不到。他們如果不乖乖就读中六，將会想到此处不留人，自有留人处。优秀生要得到新加坡政府的奖学金是非常容易的。一个国家在全球化时代竞爭的关键時刻，人才流失势将打击我国的综合国力、更阻碍我国的经济转型。

一个大马？不能只是个口号，喊爽罢了。

無論如何, 我們還是期待一个真正的大马！

Duanwu Jie (端午節)

2010-06-14T00:10:00.000+08:00

Duanwu Jie(端午節) or the so called Dragon Boat Festival is a traditionally statutory festival associated with almost all the Chinese descendents in the world. It is a public holiday in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. In 2008, the festival was restored in China as an official national holiday. The festival is also celebrated in countries with significant Chinese populations, such as in Singapore and Malaysia. Equivalent and similar festivals outside Chinese-speaking societies include the Kodomo no hi in Japan, Dano in Korea, and Tết Đoan Ngọ in Vietnam.

The festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar on which the Chinese calendar is based. This is the source of the alternative name of Double Fifth. In 2010 this falls on 16 June. The focus of the celebrations includes eating the rice dumpling zongzi (粽子), drinking realgar wine (雄黃酒), and dragon boat race(龍舟賽).

The most popular saying of the origin of the festival is that it was derived from the activities of commemorating a great patriotic poet, Qu Yuan (340 – 278 BC). The story about Qu Yuan (屈原) has been deeply rooted in Chinese culture and this festival, so it is definitely a very important factor for the origin of the festival.

About 2,300 years ago, Qu Yuan lived during one of the most turbulent period of China's history, the Seven Kingdoms. He was a cultured scholar, a highly respected diplomat and a poet. His abilities and influence attained him the highest office in the State of Chu. Qu Yuan became a direct and respected adviser to King Huai of Chu. Qu Yuan brought to bear his beliefs and influence to aid and facilitate an alliance with the state of Qi, His strong and unyielding determination to forward political reform, economic alliances and strength with the state of Qi won the favour and support of King Huai. His position, influence and assertive character made him a target in the political arena and intrigue. As a result of this there were many factions of power and influence with different and apposing agendas. Driven by fear and hunger for power, two of the more influential rivalling faction vied for position in the courts and the King's ear. Qu Yuan was greatly disturbed by the corruption amongst the governors and as a result of his pleas for reforms, he was banished from the Kingdom. For years, he wandered the countryside composing poems expressing his patriotism and love for the people.

Either as an act of despair or an ultimate protest against the corrupt government, Qu Yuan jumped into the Mei Lo River (in today’s Hunan province) on the fifth day of the fifth month in the year 278 B.C. after Chu was conquered by Qin. Seeing his desperate act, grief-stricken local fishermen tried to save the patriotic poet. They sailed up and down the river to look for him and desperately thrashed the water with their oars and paddles to scare off the hungry fishes which might eat his body.

To commemorate the patriotic man, the fishermen and rural town folks threw cooked rice dumplings wrapped in silk or banana leaves, into the water in order to appease the spirits of the river on his death anniversary. These rice dumplings are called Zongzi. Since then, the dragon boat races were held to commemorate the legend of Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan is more generally recognised as the first great Chinese poet with record. He initiated the style of Sao, which is named after his work Li Sao(離騷), in which he abandoned the classic four-character verses used in poems of Shi Jing and adopted verses with varying lengths, which gives the poem more rhythm and latitude in expression. Qu Yuan is also regarded as one of the most prominent figures of Romanticism in Chinese literature, and his masterpieces influenced some of the greatest Romanticist poets in Tang Dynasty such as Li Bai(李白) and Du Fu(杜甫).

Li Sao is thought of as the earliest as well as one of the most important poems that can be classified as a certain type of generic romanticism. It is one of the most famous poems in the history of China. Attributed to Qu Yuan by Sima Qian (司馬遷), it is a poem of search, sorrow and disillusionment of an exiled minister of state. It is part of the collection known as Chu Ci(楚辭).

Other than his literary influence, Qu Yuan is also held as the earliest patriotic poet in China history. His political idealism and unbendable patriotism have served as the model for Chinese intellectuals to this day.

黨外的職務才重要!

2010-05-30T13:29:00.000+08:00

難怪難怪，三美一直不肯退位。

他是在等首相拿督斯里納吉賦予國大黨以外的“職務”呢。

這就是我們的政治人物，永遠不會滿足！

一個馬來西亞？

2010-05-29T22:12:00.000+08:00

一派胡言！

土著权威组织主席依布拉欣阿里，在成功召开首届土著经济大会后，向非马来人社会放话，宣称马来人崛起的时代已经来临。

這是何等嚣张，何等猖狂 !!!

何時马来人及土著的权益沒有被维护了？

真的一個馬來西亞??? 我們期待!!!

雙方喋喋不休的備忘錄

2010-05-29T19:13:00.000+08:00

馬華霹雳州宣传局不满行動黨批评馬華“當家不當權”及需要提呈備忘錄的言论，因而发表文告大力抨击這仅属于陈腔烂调，毫无意义及建树。

霹雳州馬華認為一直以来馬華都积极参与第十大馬计划的制定过程，行動黨对馬華的积极参与一无所知，一派胡言指责馬華“當家不當權”，无理取闹。

问题是两方面喋喋不休的備忘錄是否有所不同？

根據百度词典所说，備忘錄是：
1. 非正式的外交信件; 特指政府部门或外交部致大使馆或公使馆的书面声明, 尤其用于例行传达或询问, 无需签署；
2. 備忘或保留准备将来用的非正式的记事录; 帮助或唤起记忆的记录; 日记本里的记事录。

備忘錄是说明某一问题事实经过的外交文件，也可能是书面合同的形式之一。

书面合同(memorandum of understanding) 指的是在买卖双方磋商过程中，多某些事项达成一定程度的理解与谅解及一致意见，将这种理解、谅解、一致意见以備忘錄的形式记录下来，作为今后进一步磋商，达成最终协议的参考，并作为今后双方交易与合作的依据。雙方處於相等的位置，但不具有法律约束力。

另外的一種備忘錄，尤其是華小長用的，是两方出于不平等的地位，由一方用在向另一方提出申請, 要求。

問題是馬華提呈的備忘錄是何種形式？那就見任見智了。

不管怎樣说，除了是书面合同型式的備忘錄還有一點點作用外，其他的只是等人施舍，捐獻而已！

Chinese Community Needs Good Ministers / Deputy Ministers

2010-05-22T13:04:00.000+08:00

The MCA President Dr. Chua's suggestion for the two Vice Presidents of MCA to be appointed as the senators carries an obvious implication. This is also a clear indication that Dr. Chua is a man who walks on his words – not to be in the cabinet.

The Chinese are looking at possible suggestions from Dr. Chua to help to appoint excellent Ministers and Deputy Ministers from MCA. If the MP of Labis is not in the line up just because he is Dr. Chua's son, it is definitely VERY unfair to a capable man. If that MP from Pontian continues to be a Deputy Minister, than the MP from Labis should be a Minister then. Those who have followed the debates and presentations put up by the MPs across the whole nation in the Parliament will know what I mean. How many MCA MPs are able and up to par to debate with the economist specialist Phua from DAP? None other than the MCA MP from Labis! What a disgrace to MCA!!!

I refer to some of my earlier write-ups here, especially the articles which I critically compared the three persons of whom two had been and one who is at present the Minister of Health. Throwing away Dr. Chua’s personal defect, he is still one of the best ministers amongst all MCA ministers in this half a century, and the BEST Minister of Health thus far.

I personally feel that in the present line up of MCA, no one is able to shoulder the responsibility of the portfolio in the Ministry of Health. It is undeniable that this is a very important ministry, but it does not really bring significant values and benefits to the Chinese community in particular. Be the Minister of Health a Malay Malaysian, Chinese Malaysian, Indian Malaysian, Iban Malaysian or whatever ethnicity you can think of, no citizen will lose out on the rights or enjoy special privileges. After all, if we look at the performance of the present Minister of Health, we do not see that he has really achieved the KPIs set (if he had set any outstanding KPI).

I still personally feel that Dr. Fong should be given due consideration in holding a ministry post. He was a very good Minister of Human Resource, after succeeding the work from the previous Deputy President of MCA, LAL.

Ministry of Human Resource is very important to all three major segments of the nation, especially the Chinese community. Dr. Fong had planned to have some public institutions conducting free courses / training workshops using Chinese Language to help the Chinese pre-mature school leavers (please in future do not use school drop-outs, we need to encourage these ‘lost’ people to learn skills in order to survive in this globally competitive world). It is sad to say that after the portfolio had been taken over by the MIC man, there was no sign of such courses!

I strongly urge Dr. Chua to use his intelligence to get back the Ministry of Human Resource portfolio to be headed by an excellent MCA man. I still feel that Dr. Fong is the best person to hold this ministry post, otherwise let the new Vice President Gan to hold this post. He is from Johore, nearer to Dr. Chua. I believe Dr. Chua will be able to mentor and coach him well, even though he is Ong’s man. The other Vice President of MCA, LSC, can be considered too, but NOT Duputy President LTL please, I really lose all the confidence in him as a minister!!! That ‘First Lady’ is definitely NOT the candidate and the appointed Secretary General did not show any outstanding work at all after taking over the portfolio from the two Ong brothers!

Dr. Chua, please use your wittiness and intelligence to get back the Ministry of Human Resource portfolio. May I propose the worst suggestion? If there is no other alternative, exchange the Ministry of Health or Ministry of Tourism portfolio with the Ministry of Human Resource portfolio, after all the present Minister of Human Resource Dr. Subramaniam is a medical specialist, he knows the Ministry of Health more than anyone else. Ministry of Tourism was never headed by MCA before. Frankly speaking, this ministry does not help Chinese community at large and in particular, especially the lost Chinese youth who need more concern and help! What the Chinese community wants is a minister who can help the Chinese more.

Please help our Chinese youth more, PLEASE!!!

May BUDDHA bless all of you.

In Dhamma.

MINISTER OF HEALTH, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOUR MINISTRY PROPERLY!!!!!

2009-11-20T00:37:00.000+08:00

In our post ‘Ministry of Health, Follow PM’s KPI Requirements, Please…’, we had reminded that there was a lack of stock of medicine or medicine prescribed by doctors were not available and the pharmacist at the dispensary departments had to use their own decision to substitute by some other medicine.

The situation seems to be getting worse now. I was almost on top of my anger and agony yesterday waiting for more than 3 hours just to see the doctor for routine check up before I can get the normal medicine. While many patients were waiting outside, some doctors in the rooms were relatively relaxed and time to joke!

When I was in the pharmacy department, I almost lost my temper as I couldn’t act and think in conformity or congruity that a state’s General Hospital (GH) did not have the medicine prescribed by the doctors! I was also told by the dispenser that many patients had been sent back without some of the medicine prescribed for them. We were asked to contact the GH when would the stock arrive. This is the greatest irony of the year, but at the same time, it is most precarious plight in GH now where patients had been sent back without medicine!

I was not given one of the prescriptions, and two others by substitutes of lower quality, decided by the pharmacist in the dispensary department without consulting the doctor! One of the substitutes I didn’t mind much as it is just an ointment, but another is a medication for consumption! I obviously was very annoyed to be given sub-standard medicine and another medicine was not available at all in all the 5 possible dispensary departments in the GH.

I blamed the dispensary department of not informing the management (maybe logistic department) about the alarming stage of shortage or unavailability of medicine. To the greatest shock in my life that I was told by the dispenser that there was no more budget to buy the medicine! OMG! This is a very acute and serious problem!!!

Minister of Health, what the hell are you doing? You are a minister for the whole of the RAKYAT of Malaysia, you are not paid to work only for MCA !!!

We are NOT interested in you and your ridiculous comrades’ crying in the public about the tremor and crisis in MCA. Crying in the public had become a mockery of themselves! We are much more concern of the patients visiting government hospitals without giving the medicine they are supposed to take home. If a GH fails to give enough or correct prescriptions, we can imagine some other smaller hospitals or polyclinics.

Minister of Health, where are your KPIs? Do you want to be named the worst Minister of health ever had in the history of Malaysia? Do you want people to keep saying you are only concerned of the power struggling in MCA and not concern of the health of the hospital patients?

Answer us, Minister of Health. If fatal cases happen because patients are not given medicine prescribed, are you going to pay Life for Life?

I believe if this critical and alarming plight is not overcome within these few days and if any serious cases happen, Minister of Health, your ministry (and of course you can’t run away from the duty and accountability) will have faced a lot of court cases. Our RAKYAT are not that stupid to be fooled like some of the mCA grassroots to be fooled by their MCA leaders!!!

Honestly speaking, if you or the lady who lost in the 308 GE but went through back door to be appointed as a deputy minister were to stand for the next GE in the place we vote, all of us WILL never vote for anyone of you again! We would rather caste spoilt votes or abstain from voting as a silent protest that MCA only sends out this type of irresponsible people!!!! If you can't manage a ministry properly, you want to manage MCA? Haha!

BLOCK RESIGNATION OF MCA DISCIPLINARY BOARD!!!

2009-11-05T19:48:00.000+08:00

政治考量介入纪律行动
马华纪委会成员集体辞职

The Disciplinary Board of MCA had finally taken the right move to quit! There is no point for the board members to find excuses to quit the committee. Rules and regulations were clearly stated in the MCA’s Constitutions that the Disciplinary Board can only give suggestions or proposals of actions to be taken against any MCA member. Such suggestion or proposal has to be endorsed by the presidential Council and Central Committee of MCA. A check and balance is a MUST in any political party or even in any NGO to avoid abuse of power that might be adopted by the Disciplinary Board Members. This is nothing new! There is no reason that these board members who are the veteran MCA members, are ignorant of such rules.

In fact, this is the worst of all the Disciplinary Boards ever had in MCA.

These members should not in the fist place, accept the appointment last year. Many other MCA members are much better of compared to them to be in the committee.

We sincerely hope that MCA will, after making a mistake to appoint this committee consisting of controversial and incompetent people, now appoint apt, appropriate and non-argumentative people in the Disciplinary Board!

真的大团圆？马华，不要再乱了，好吗？

2009-11-03T22:06:00.000+08:00

我等没有说错吧？

在 马华大团圆了!? （Friday, October 23, 2009）中我等还是称副总会长廖中莱而不称署理总会长廖中莱，因为我等在
全体马华会长理事会和中委会已经被投不信任票了!!! （Wednesday, October 14, 2009）的文稿中认为第三项议案,使得恢复蔡细历党职提案无法在马华特大通过,不代表署理总会长之职位已出缺!蔡细历没有表明辞去党职,署理总会长之职位是否已被冻结还必须从马华党章及法律观点仔细的研究呢。

在今早约11点半，蔡细历接获社团注册局的信函成功恢复马华署理总会长的职位。他也在中午1点10份左右，与儿子即柔佛拉美士国会议员蔡智勇一起抵达马华大厦，在第一时间出席马华中委会会议。这说明了任何事件必须以马华党章及法律观点为准。

廖派以三大理由，拒绝承认蔡细历复职的合法性：（一）中委会同时冻结蔡细历的党籍及党职；（二）社团注册局无权插手中委会的决定；（三）对付蔡细历是一项纪律行动，不是罢免问题，因此不需要有三分之二的中央代表来撤销其党职。廖中莱保留上诉法庭权利。马华还乱的不够啊？

可笑啊，可笑！廖派到今天还不觉悟全体马华会长理事会和中委会已经在10月10日的马华特大被中央代表投不信任票了!!! 如果社团注册局无权插手党章及中委会的决定，那么任何社团及政党都不需要章程或者可在任何时候改变章程，中委会也可制定一些对他们有利的章程，真是的！

己所不欲，勿施于人！廖派现在应该知道蔡派当初受打压的感受了吧！

再者，如说廖派不是以官或党位为重，谁会相信？看看那四位被委任的中委在今天中午所招开的记者会，已是一叶知秋了!!!被委任的人，不支持有权力委任他们的人，这在道理上是说不过去的！由其是大选输了，依靠他走后门当上副部长的人，更不可做反骨仔!!!

年轻的马华领袖不要想乘马华四分五裂的时机争著上位。你们还没有足够的经验、实际能力、才干、魄力跟国阵的老将们争一长短！退一步，海阔天空。不要让华社看到你们也只是争權夺利，不是为华社谋利的一群自私自利之人!!!

翁蔡应当会知道有若干州联委会主席是必须被换,因为他们连一州都管理不当!更希望冯镇安,黄家泉等等好领袖再次回到主流，马华才有救!!!!!

共勉之!

感恩。

AGONIZING MCA LEADERS MUST BE OUSTED!!!

2009-11-02T10:41:00.000+08:00

By looking at the present situation of MCA, a true Malaysian, whether one belongs to Chinese ethnicity or not, inevitably will get agonized and inflamed by the recent actions of the Presidential Council (PC) and Central Committee (CC) members! Lots of inappropriate appointments of the party leaders to hold ministry posts and party portfolios, and more discordant and incongruent acts and moves have resulted in great mockery!

If one were to hope that the present MCA leaders had learnt a lesson from the EGM held on 10 October, 2009, one will have his heart shattered! More and more actions discrepant to the public have been committed by the MCA leaders especially the younger ones who are too eager to fight their way up by using unbecoming and indecorous tactics.

We had urged the whole PC & CC to have block resignation in our post ANOTHER EGM? OH MY GOD!!! dated THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2009, and many other MCA leaders, commentators and bloggers have the same opinion! The CC lead by LTL said they could settle the MCA crisis, but at the same time, the CC had their own plan.

During the CC meeting held on 15.10.2009, the CC forced OTK to set a date to resign, but he refused. Instead, he asked for a block resignation of the whole CC, obviously he was turned down! The CC members especially the younger and the non-performing ones were scared to be ousted if there is another party election of the new CC.

Later when OTK had apparently patched up with CSL, the whole CC got worried as the terms and conditions of the reunion was not discussed openly and endorsed in any CC meeting. LTL, in no position whatsoever, held several secret meetings with some of the CC members (we are interested to know: Why the Disciplinary Board Members kept quiet about this issue? Are they 'SLEEPING'?). The final result is expected: some of the CC members had asked to have another EGM to decide whether there should be a block resignation of the CC to give way to party election. What the hell are these CC members, especially the young, egoistic and over ambitious leaders doing? The answer is trivial. They are scared OTK will snatch away their positions and power!!!!

OTK did mention during the CC meeting held on 15 October, 2009 that there were some hidden agenda in sacking CSL. All Malaysians have the right to know:
1. Was CSL that ‘bad’ to the extent that he should be sacked by the PC which had taken the advice put forth by the Disciplinary Board?
2. Why OTK NEVER try to find ways and means to have certain ‘communication’ with CSL earlier?
3. Was OTK being ‘poisoned’ by his close comrades that CSL’s political career MUST be terminated? If so, who are these persons?
4. Did LTL and other PC members show great support to OTK during the PC and CC meetings?

MCA leaders, especially the younger ones, are you NOT ashamed by looking at the picture above? If you did not agree with what OTK said: BLOCK RESIGNATION IF THE VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE CASTED AGAINST OTK WAS PASSED, THEN YOU SHOULDN’T BE THERE IN THE PICTURE. PLEASE DON’T THINK THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY SMART PEOPLE AROUND !!!

It’s high time for OTK and LTL with his two strong supporters WKS & CMF to speak the truth now! Let all Malaysians be the judgers!

We feel that it is a great waste of money and time to have another EGM. Let’s have the block resignation of the CC of not only MCA, but the MCA Youth and Women too, as there are tremors in both wings now!

Those who had constantly poisoned OTK to go against CSL MUST be OUSTED in the next MCA party election too. We, Malaysians, CANNOT have this type of leaders holding any posts in the ministry level!!! ALL MCA CR PLEASE WAKE UP, CHOOSE CAPABLE PEOPLE, NOT JUST ONLY THE YOUNG LEADERS WHO ARE TOO POWER CRAZY AND INCOMPETIBLE WITH OTHER BARISAN NASIONAL LEADERS. TOO MANY YOUNG AND INEXPERIENCED MCA LEADERS WILL RESULT IN WHAT WE SEE TODAY. THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GAIN RESPECT IN THE CABINET AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BARGAIN FOR CHINESE COMMUNITY!!!

WAKE UP, MCA!!!

2009-10-31T11:18:00.000+08:00

What the hell is going on with MCA now?

Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting, is this what you want to see? We Chinese Malaysians know that you had good intention initially to let MCA lead by younger leaders so as to make the party more energetic and progressive. Your noble intention is not wrong, but you were too eager to make the change quickly and abruptly in the party without thinking the deep implications and complicated adverse effects that might follow!

Datuk Seri, sorry to say that you had made two immense mistakes:
1. Too many young leaders without grass-root supports and contributions to MCA and the nation were chosen to contest in the General Election in 2008, contributing to one of the factors of the great defeat experienced by MCA.
2. After the 308 GE, you DID NOT keep experienced and good MCA leaders like Dr. Fong Chan Onn in the cabinet. Instead, you had chosen too many inexperienced MCA leaders in the Cabinet. By looking at their performances after holding the posts, please answer this question from your inner heart: Did you ever regret?

We do not mean to say that young leaders can’t perform well, but most often than not, experiences play paramount importance, especially in the cabinet. Dr. Fong had played his role well as the Minister of Labour and he is the BEST thus far holding this post, no one is comparable to him. That ministry post is of utmost importance to Chinese community, BUT YOU HAD CHOSEN TO DROP HIM FROM THE CABINET!!! NOW, WHAT HAS HAPPENED???

It is indisputable to say that the present MCA tremor and great crisis had been caused by power struggling between the experienced leaders with strong grass-root support and the younger leaders who are too eager to fight their way up by using dirty tactics!

Datuk Seri, You may think that it is inappropriate for you to utter any comment on the present MCA plight, but are you willing to see your beloved party in such a precarious situation now? Please say something Datuk Seri!

马华大团圆了!?

2009-10-23T19:38:00.000+08:00

马华特大成绩公布后,翁总没有在第一时间宣布辞去总会长职位，只表示交由中委会及会长理事会决定、也请了四天的假期。当他消假回来后,发觉不对劲、中委会转变了态度，已另有主子。

翁总决定不辞去总会长职位了，要再玩过！他痛心他所信任的战友背叛了他，他的海南帮也如流星消逝不见，他什直形容这些战友比蔡细历还恶毒！欲剃人头者，人亦剃之！翁总现在应该会了解蔡细历在被一些以前受他援助、提拔、大力支持他的柔佛州领袖背叛时的捶心之痛!!!

翁总觉得他被身边的亲信出卖了，也感觉到众叛亲离的兹味。翁总阅读了这么多古龙的小说，不可能不知道:你的朋友可能就是你最大的敌人！

翁总最终说出事实上并不是他要砍杀蔡细历,而是副总会长廖中莱(对不起,我等在Wednesday, October 14, 2009,

全体马华会长理事会和中委会已经被投不信任票了!!!
的文稿中认为第三项议案,使得恢复蔡细历党职提案无法在马华特大通过,不代表署理总会长之职位已出缺!蔡细历没有表明辞去党职,署理总会长之职位是否已被冻结还必须从马华党章及法律观点仔细的研究呢。社团注册局应会在近日确认蔡细历的署理总会长职位之合化性。这是不容任何一个人,包括所谓的著名时评人陈亚才、潘永强等等多加质疑的。), 周美芬,拿督魏家祥等等一直怂恿要他这样做的。

翁总啊，翁总！你大错特错了。一个首领被下属们鼓动、唆使去对抗老二，这就是你的不对了。不过，翁总终于也说出蔡细历并不难沟通。翁总，我等希望这是你真正的心底话！

我等也希望翁蔡能真正的放下一切争执、隔模及误解，重新出发，重新再结合,调整马华，为华社造福！

我等更加希望年轻的马华领袖不要想乘马华四分五裂的时机争著上位。你们还没有足够的经验、实际能力、才干、魄力跟国阵的老将争一长短！翁蔡应当会知道有若干州联委会主席是必须被换,因为他们连一州都管理不当!更希望冯镇安,黄家泉等等好领袖再次回到主流，马华才有救!!!!!

一个团队的马华，应当由有足够的经验、实际能力、才干、魄力的老、中、青的领袖组成，才是完整、完善的！

我等更不希望有任何人士质疑翁蔡的诚意。请大家不要再扰乱，也不要再发表对马华没有利益的见解了，好吗？任何想要破坏马华的人，可算是华社的公敌，应被公众人士口诛笔伐！

共勉之!

感恩。

翁总, 需要这样做吗?

2009-10-21T01:36:00.000+08:00

在马华党争方热，各个年轻的、不够经验、没有足够的实际能力、才干的领袖想要乘马华四分五裂的时机争著上位之际,翁总会长又再次不按牌理出怊，宣布重组马华各局，并先革除三朝元老梁邓忠的法律局主任之职位。

马华特大成绩公布后,翁总没有在第一时间马上宣布辞去总会长职位，反而表示交由中委会及会长理事会决定，已失去了公信力!一个被中央代表们投不信任票的总会长,在陷入众叛亲离的此刻选择改组马华领导层，很可能是旨在做最后的挣扎，试图透过替换受委的中委来制衡倾向副总会长廖中莱的中委们,试图牢控党机关。翁总拿梁邓忠开刀只不过是要杀鸡儆猴，让其他受委的中委不敢造次。

我等认为更多必须被翁总开刀的应当其他拥有影响力,被他委任,但是不懂感恩、没有持续支持他的总秘书王茀明,陆垠佑,李伟杰和蔡金星与及具有影响力,被他委任为州联委会主席的拿督姚再添,周美芬,拿督魏家祥等等。

可是,马华第一位被投不信任票的总会长,还有何权威可言?

翁总,领袖可来可去,上台靠机会,下台靠智慧。

人无言而不信, 人无信而不立! 唯一能重新再结合,调整马华的做法是全面大洗牌!!!

横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

共勉之!

感恩。

和网络之友伟翔的一顿融洽晚餐(二)

2009-10-19T22:27:00.000+08:00

这就是厨师利用竹棍打滚制造之面粉团做的云吞面,在Kuchai Lama的店铺。

看, 这就是用来打滚制造面粉团的粗大竹棍。

看见了吗？云吞面被切的非常细。这几道菜都不错!

店的装饰还不错。

我们的晚餐吃到店铺结束营业。猜猜我们吃到几点?

和网络之友伟翔的一顿融洽晚餐!

2009-10-18T01:52:00.000+08:00

今天傍晚终于和认识了大约两个月的网络之友伟翔见面,一起在八打灵SS2吃一顿很融洽的晚餐。我们从七点见面, 一边吃, 一边谈到十点十五分,还不觉得疲倦!

我们谈了很多,谈马华及其他的课题,谈到我们在部络写的评论,也谈到一些人不了解我们倒翁不代表挺蔡,我们只不过是挺马华而已!我们也从不同的管道中得知蔡细历是一个很受医药职员欢迎的部长,这些医药人员都承认他是有始以来最好的卫生部长。

其实我以前不喜欢蔡细历主要的原因是在马华闹AB队时他责骂当时的署理总会长林亚礼骂的过份了,就好象那些当前马华的几位部长及副部长,在当时把总会长林良实骂的狗血淋头一样。怪的是当时的总会长和署理总会长都很有容人之量,没有下封口令、也没有任何一个党员被开除或被冻结党藉;而即使林良实是多么的不喜欢翁诗杰,翁诗杰还是被委任为副部长!!! 而翁总在得到权力后呢?

我们还约定明晚一起在Kuchai Lama吃中国厨师利用竹棍打滚制造之面粉团做的云吞面呢。很出名的,大家尽可一试。

和伟翔相识,是偶然的,也同样是一种巧合。我只不过在他的部络中留过言几次,发现我们有很多共同的见解。几次留言之后我们交换了msn的id。有一天大约是在晚上十点后,我们在msn谈天说地,因为我们思想、见解及分析力非常接近,谈的很融洽,经常会同时间在msn打出同样的辞句或者相似的见解(我们认为有一样的frequency),直谈到第二天黎明四点多才睡觉! 好玩吗?恐怖吗? 哈哈!

感谢网络的便利, 给我们一个机会认识了知心之友。

感恩。

ANOTHER EGM? OH MY GOD !!!

2009-10-15T22:18:00.000+08:00

What the hell is going on with MCA?

Since the CR had casted the vote of no confidence on MCA President, and by passing the second motion in the EGM, the Presidential Council and the CC had been indirectly casted votes of no confidence as well, then the whole CC should resign and have a fresh poll. Let the CR elect the new CC whom they feel that maybe more capable than the old rotten ones!

Moreover, the CC has NO POWER at all to elect (the word used by the present President who had been casted vote of no confidence) a new Deputy President of MCA. The Second Motion was passed in the EGM of MCA on 10.10.2009. In fact, the Third Motion carried no weight at all since less that two thirds of the CC were not in favour to reinstall Dr. Chua as the Deputy President of the party. As such, he is still the party’s Deputy President. This is yet to be confirmed with the Registrar of NGO.

Consequently, the post of MCA’s Deputy President has not been vacated and the CC is in no position to elect any of the Vice President to hold the post as the Deputy President. Dr. Chua is supposed to be back to MCA as the Deputy President! Even if the President and the CC want to have a tussle with Dr. Chua and let the Registrar of NGO to step in later, the post maybe temporarily frozen or can be temporarily acted by a Vice President. So, Liow can only be chosen by the CC to be an Acting (temporary) Deputy President and not being elected by the CC as the Deputy President. Please bear this in mind!

The President of MCA had said before many times conducting EGM is a waste of money and will split the party. When Dr. Chua’s camp was able to get enough signatures calling for the EGM, he exercised his power to call for an EGM. Now, he is calling another EGM in less than a week’s time after the EGM. EGM called by other party members is a waste of money and EGM called by the President of the party will not waste money? What the hell is this?

Resolve the whole CC and have AGM to have the party election now! There is no point to waste about RM 700 000.00 on another EGM! Please be men of principles, the President, Secretary General, Honourable Treasurer, Assistant Secretary General, all appointed CC and Sate Chairmen and Senators, quit now! Let other ethnic groups at least have some respect on Chinese, please!!!!!

I use a Chinese expression to conclude this short post:

人无言而不信, 人无信而不立!

共勉之!

感恩。

全体马华会长理事会和中委会已经被投不信任票了!!!

2009-10-14T23:28:00.000+08:00

著名的时评人潘永强于10月14日下午1点28分在当今大马发表了一篇文章: 中委不必总辞，会长必须重选。

他提出了一些国内外的例子,也对马华的党章做出注解、看法。终结他认为：中委会没有必要总辞，但总会长和署理会长则必须重新选举。

我等认为潘永强的论点有很多值得商权之处。

马华会长理事会接纳纪律小组建议开除蔡细历后,被中委会及马华特大两回推翻他们的决定,已经失去了公信力。中委会在没有原告、没有被告提出求情下,把会长理事会开除蔡细历的决定改为冻结党藉四年。会长理事会和中委会的几个成员,已三翻四次陪伴翁总到處唱、由南唱到北,也没否定翁总说的总辞;尤其是其中的一位副总会长不管部门工作,被首相责备后还忠诚的跟随在翁总身边,也默认了翁总说的总辞,在马华特大成绩公布后,没有在第一时间马上宣布总辞,现在还有脸争取马华的龙头宝座?

我等不认同潘永强说的“马华特大的不信任案是针对翁诗杰，不是向全体中委投不信任案。”即使马华特大没有包含不信任会长理事会和中委会的议案,但是当第二项议案,使得恢复蔡细历党藉的提案通过后,以最浅白的逻辑学来说,全体会长理事会和中委会已经被投不信任票了!!!如果全体华社和马华的党员连这浅白的逻辑学都不了解,我等要怎么样说呢？

再者,第三项议案,使得恢复蔡细历党职提案无法在马华特大通过,不代表署理总会长之职位已出缺!蔡细历没有表明辞去党职,署理总会长之职位是否已被冻结还必须从马华党章及法律观点仔细的研究呢。

看来,任何一种做法都会引起某一方的不满。请做做好心,为华裔挽回一点尊严好吗？

唯一能重新再结合,调整马华的做法是全面大洗牌!!!

请做做好心, 为华裔挽回一点尊严好吗？

2009-10-11T18:25:00.000+08:00

马华特大的结果其实并不很意外,票箱开出来的结果是翁蔡应当一齐走。当翁蔡双方的势力差异不大时,第三股势力就真的能发挥它的效应!

马华特大举行之前,翁总还诬陷说第三股势力是由蔡醫生制造、搞出来的。蔡醫生会愚蠢到制造一个不赞成第三项议案,使得恢复蔡细历党职提案无法通过?真是的,一個充滿爭議、讲谎话不用本钱的人,还想要留下来?

之前，翁总是名信心十足、敢怒敢言、敢做敢当的领袖。他说过的话一定会实践，所以才能得到中央代表的支持、坐上马华的龙头宝座。

在马华特大举行之前,翁总不只一次信心十足的透过媒体放话:如果第一项提案被通过、他不会留恋权位,也会来个总辞;换句话说，他会卸下总会长和部长职位。但是中央代表们不卖他的帐!

马华特大成绩公布后,翁总没有在第一时间马上宣布辞去总会长职位，反而表示交由中委会及会长理事会决定，是一大败笔!!! 会长理事会及中委会的决定大过马华特大的决定?那何必开什么特大?还是幾個被委任官职或会长理事或中委的跳梁小醜不甘心,要逼中央代表们再一次招开特大?老天啊,马华真的会被这些跳梁小醜玩死!!!

翁诗杰走不走，没有人可以强迫他。但是,一个被中央代表们投不信任票的总会长(这可是马华第一位被投不信任票的总会长!之前被投不信任票的是代总会长),还有什么威信可召开会长理事会及中委会?更没有资格去选定接任者!!!既然总会长已经被投不信任票,翁总所挑选的马华总秘书,副总秘书,总财政,中委等等,也都应当总辞。总秘书不是票选的,不赶快辞职已经在道义上说不过去,还要下封口令, 在假谁的虎威啊?

以翁诗杰的霸气、持才傲物、刚愎自用、个人英雄主义的性格,他不可能因为幾個跳梁小醜想要他留任,而坏了他的一世英名,造成国际笑柄!!!!!何不学学李三春,在最高峰时退下,挥一挥手、不带走一片云彩的洒脱?

如果翁老总还不下台,或者不辞去总会长及所有在马华和政府部门所担任的职位而仍然再接受挽留,这表示所有的中央代表都看错了人,我看不如拿一块豆腐撞死算了!!!其他的会长理事会和中委会也支持错了人,拿面线上吊算了!!!

不过，多数人深信,以翁诗杰的性格，他是一定会辞去所有的职位，包括党职和部长官职。

我等再次強調翁总已经没有资格去选定接任者了!!!

领袖可来可去, 上台靠机会,下台靠智慧。

请做做好心, 为华裔挽回一点尊严好吗？

横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

共勉之!

感恩。

A SHOCKING BLOW ON BOTH? NO, NOT AT ALL!!!

2009-10-10T21:37:00.000+08:00

The Central Representatives (CR) of MCA from all over the country had made their WISEST DECISION at 10.00 a.m. on 10.10.2009 (do you know that the Double Ten to some Chinese has special meaning? Or is this the OMEN which was not realized by the people holding authority in MCA? If they were to know the true meaning of Double Ten, would they still choose this date?):

BOTH ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT FROM HOLDING POWER!

Is the outcome really astonishing and shocking? NO, NOT AT ALL!

When both OTK and CSL had almost equal number of supporters, each about 40% of the CR’s support, the remaining CR play vital and paramount importance now! Any influential person or persons grasping the TRUST AND CONFIDENCE of the remaining CR will be able to have both OTK and CSL ousted during the EGM. They could have just easily joined CSL’s team secretly to support the First Motion and then joined OTK’s team to go against the Third Motion, and that’s the real outcome.

The Central Committee of MCA is urged to have a meeting as soon as possible to discuss matters pertaining to the outcomes of the EGM. A question natural superposes one’s mind:

WHO IS TO CHAIR THE MEETING?

According to MCA’s Constitution, the Secretary General seems to be the Third Man in Authority in the party. As this man is also appointed by the President of the party who had been casted VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE in the EGM, he is in NO position whatsoever to chair the meeting! (From this case, one sees that the MCA President SHOULD NOT be given too much power! If the secretary General and treasurer are not appointed by the President, such a difficult plight and odd situation WOULD NOT occur now!!!) If he is a gentleman, he, the Treasurer and a few other CCs appointed by the President SHOULD quit the posts immediately. If NOT, where is their dignity???

Since the three top figures of the party ARE NOT LEGIBLE (this is ethics unless they want to be despised publicly and internationally) and CANNOT function now, then by Rule of Law, the Vice President with the highest votes last year during the MCA Election SHOULD be the one to chair the meeting, that is Kang from Perak.

Many people are speculating that the MCA president OTK will not relinquish the party and government posts. OTK is a very determined and disciplined man, that’s why he CAN”T TOLERATE AND CAN’T FORGIVE CSL’s immoral act, even though last year the party CR had forgiven CSL and had given him a second chance to serve the party! A man like him no matter how, MUST KEEP THE GOLDEN WORDS UTTERED BY HIM: THAT’S IF THE VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IS CASTED AGAINST HIM, HE WILL QUIT, TOGETHER WITH THE CC APPOINTED BY HIM !!!

THE WHOLE WORLD IS LOOKING AT HIM NOW, WHETHER HE WANTS TO BE A MAN OF PRINCIPLE, A REAL GENTLEMAN, OR A COWARD!

衣食住行之食在新加坡 (一)

2009-10-09T21:42:00.000+08:00

衣、食、住、行是人生四大最重要的事。

“民以食為天”更是人们经常挂在嘴旁的口頭襌。在我国,打工一族已经感受到很大的生活压力, 尤其是“吃” 的这方面; 一碟云吞面在吉隆坡已叫价 RM 5.00, 其他的更不必说了。我们试看一看处于一水之割的新加坡, 在“吃” 的方面又怎样呢？

这是我的早餐,新币80仙而已。咖啡新币80仙,而月饼是朋友送的,免费(一笑)。

这份早餐新币一元80仙而已。

这广告是不是很误导? 我还以为白斩鸡飯比烧鸡飯更贵呢？哈哈!

这份早餐新币二元80仙, 二元新币的海南白斩鸡飯的飯是多到我吃不完。(近来因上了年纪,已较少吃飯。飯是碳水化合物, 包含太过多糖、淀粉,在人身体内部容易变化成为糖类。)

价格是不是很公道?

这份酿豆腐午餐新币二元而已。

是鱼丸还是鱼圆?这就是为什么我们要批评新加坡人的华文程度!

价格还算很公道?

这份鱼丸面晚餐新币二元50仙而已。

这摊位是在牛车水某美食中心里。

年轻的老板黄先生从中国来新加坡已经三年了。

新币二元的晚餐,是不是很便宜?

这是在皇后道的某美食中心。

在新加坡还有50仙的饮料,信不信由你!

价格如何?

这份午餐合计新币三元而已,云吞面二元50仙、豆浆水50仙。

在红山广场的一个素食摊位,不是初一十五都这么多人排队等待!

总而言之,一个人如果不嫌吃,在新加坡赚,在新加坡吃,他是不会感受到“吃”这方面的生活压力!

我是以一个在吉隆坡月入两千零吉和一个在新加坡月入两千新元单身汉做比较, 不能用货币兑换来做比较。

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL IN SINGAPORE

2009-10-04T00:33:00.000+08:00

The Mid-Autumn Festival is popularly known as the Moon Festival. It is more of a harvest festival celebrated by Chinese (known as Zhongqiu Jie, 中秋節), Japanese (known as Tsukimi), Koreans (known as Chuseok), and Vietnamese (known as Tết Trung Thu), dated more than 3000 years ago due to the moon worship in China during the Shang Dynasty. It was initially called Zhongqiu Jie (literally "Mid-Autumn Festival") in the Zhou Dynasty. In Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines, it is also at times referred to as the Lantern Festival or the Mooncake Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, which is usually around late September or early October in the Gregorian calendar. It is the date that parallels the autumn and spring Equinoxes of the solar calendar, when the moon is supposed to be at its fullest and roundest, and hence brightest. This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on 3 October, 2009, which is a Saturday, making it more likely to have lots of people engaged in the celebration.

The traditional food of this festival is the mooncake, of which there are many different varieties. Lanterns seem to be inevitable items used in the decorations to ‘heat-up’ the festive mood. There are interesting stories of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them are the:

1. Houyi and Chang'e

2. Chang'e and the Hare (Jade Rabbit)

3. Zhu Yuanzhang’s Overthrow of Mongolian Rule

Mid-Autumn Festival celebration has become a universal annual commemoration. Currently, more people are putting greater significance in the history of China in which Zhu Yuanzhang had defeated the Mongolians to form the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, giving mooncakes to relatives and friends had been developed as an essential part and culture in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I happened to be in Singapore during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Subsequently, I had the opportunities to snap some photographs of the decorations of Mid-Autumn Festival in certain areas (especially the Chinatown) in Singapore for you to compare the differences in the decorations.

Lin, the salesgirl, told me she applied to put up a stall at the flyover in front of People's Park through the webpage and paid a sum of SGD 70 for two days (3 - 4 Oct 2009).

网络之友来函二: 我的心遗落在东海岸的夜晚~

2009-10-03T14:43:00.000+08:00

Kg Folk老兄：

(首先，这一个留言暂时不要登出来。因为我在等着看看有任何你的浏览者会根据这一个活题发表看法吗。不然，可能就会影响他们本身的真正看法了。这是一个很有趣的心理游戏。)

哈，我其实不介意你把我的留言还登在首面。至少，在漫骂的越凶或越起劲的同时，还有一个喘息空间，让大家停下来，看一看，然后再想一想。不过却对振国食言了，因为本来说只写在他的博客里。不过也没关系。

我认为，没有浏览者发表意见就代表有两种可能性：

(1)就越代表我这种看法没有市场。大家越骂得越凶，就越多人争着看。你可以上任何博客看看。而博主们看到浏览counter越来越高，心里就越爽.....这种叫大家停下来，静一静，再思考的呼吁并没有得到大家的认同。大家喜欢“骂”的文章。仔细想想，是我们的悲哀吗？哈

(2)这一种议题太过沉重了，是属于不能负荷的重。大家不懂要怎么说，也不懂要说什么。文章的沉重性，与大家心里不要去touch到的那一块灰暗地带是成正比例的。而骂人的文章最好写，因为骂的人痛快，而看的人也痛快。只不过，痛过了、快过了后有什么东西留下来？轻舟已过万重山。

这也是我不大要写政治式文章的主因。哈。太沉重的没有市场，漫骂得痛快淋漓的又写不出。文笔不行。上述那一篇只是看不过眼时写写，当作是给振国的鼓励，也乘机鸟一鸟他部落格里乱轰乱炸的人。(君不见我的那篇评论后，只有振国出来写一写场面话，其他的浏览也没有再度评论。是为明证。哈)

以我本身的立场，我是不赞成开除蔡细历(即使以后改成冻结)。不过这并不代表我挺蔡细历。我挺马华。我只是认为在情在理，他是我们中央代表选出来的，他具有代表性。你不能跟老二合作，应该是你老大有问题，因为要治服下属，是老大的责任。

再来，我认为在处理PKFZ的同时想要两手捉，老翁的算盘打错了。他旁边的童子军真差劲。

没有人是完人。老蔡如此，老翁也如此。但是博客们的漫骂式文章已经入魔了。我喜欢看的波XX克、还有喜欢看的许多博客。已经越骂越起劲了。其实这是给蔡细历帮助吗？这是挺老蔡吗？我认为，浏览者的心中还是有一把尺的，大家骂得越起劲，大家可能越看越起劲，但是心中并不代表真正认同你。这反而是倒米。(看看华总的选举就好，只安排小陈上台致词，而故意不安排老方上去。你认为代表们真的看不出来吗？你认为大家看不出来是不公平的吗？所以这是越帮越忙了！)

我的看法是，大家越骂越凶，时常上网浏览的中央代表们并不一定会挺老蔡。这一点要注意。越骂得没有水准，就越糟。

文章太长了。有机会与您聊聊十分痛快。

P/S：对了，我虽然是吉兰丹人，但是却住在关丹。所以要回去家乡时才能跟你喝喝茶、聊聊天。哈

備注:
1.Chua 兄, 我再次把你的留言登在首面, 就是看看可有浏览者会根据这一个活题发表看法吗。诚如你说的, 我们都失望了!!!

2. 你说:” … 因为要治服下属，是老大的责任 ...” 对极了, 上司如果学不会 “manage the subordinates”, 每天帶幾個跟班, 到處唱老二、由南唱到北, 没有海纳百川的胸襟, 这是上司的无能、失败!

3. 一個充滿爭議的人,有何資格批評他人?我再次強調,濫權是一種腐敗的行為,也是一種贪污。贪污是國家及人民的首号公敵!!!

是可以被漂白的! 翁总你怎么说?

峇眼槟榔的这场补选,“超级候选人”拖了很久,但终于在今天被宣布了。副首相慕兼巫统署理主席慕尤丁于今天下午5点25分在波德申的集会上宣布，国阵将派遣曾经出任森州大臣22年的丹斯里莫哈末依沙，出战峇眼槟榔州议席的补选。

即使前首相敦马哈迪医生坚决反对委派丹斯里莫哈末依沙上阵，而且巫统元老东姑拉沙里也不赞同,但是,或许独立民调中心主任依布拉欣的见解:‘委派丹斯里莫哈末依沙或许被视为不恰当，但这可能是确保国阵取得令人信服胜利的唯一方式。’是可成立的。丹斯里莫哈末依沙曾担任22年的森州大臣和领导巫统的成绩单是有目共睹的!丹斯里莫哈末依沙也深受当地人民欢迎。

丹斯里莫哈末依沙过后向记者辩解他已经受到了三年的处分,因而这个课题无需重新被挑起。他也指称就算是有人犯下某些刑事罪案，只要诚挚的改过, 人民肯接受，他也有翻身的机会。他并列例子说:“有些人犯过刑事罪，但是人民仍可以接受他们, 有些人什直还当了首席部长、部长。”

翁总,<<污点不可能被漂白!>>可是你的名句经典,也是你用来砍杀蔡细历的杀手锏啊!你在槟城所说的名句“我不讨好，只求好！”可不能再用在峇眼槟榔的这场补选了,要不,越来越多人会说你因私欲而砍杀蔡细历,不是因为爱党!善嗔一念之间阿。现在,你要怎样自圆其说呢?

其实一个人如果已真诚的愿意改过, 为什么不能给他机会?翁总,你为何对自家老二这么绝情、不合情理的倔强与及执拗呢?

横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

共勉之!

感恩。

Kg Folk兄：

这篇文章是昨天在曾聒的部落格内，由于一时有感而作的(平时不写政治，只写电脑。因为电脑弄坏了，只多format而已。政治就不同了...哈)。今天来到您的部落，想想也把它转贴在这里，跟您分享分享。(本来言明只登在振国的部落格里，现在食言转到这里。不好意思，但是本来就是自己的原创，也没有什么啦。希望与您交流，到吉兰丹时看看有没有机会跟你喝杯茶，聊聊)

原文如下：

今天看了《星洲广场》中的曹景行之访谈，其中一句话：”客观的评论，经得起明天的检验“深得我心。

表达看法的时候无可否认是主观的看法，包含了个人的主观观念。但是表达看法的时候，是基于客观的事实或是主观的想像呢？

在308后，政治局面无可否认是朝向转型的阵痛期。包括马华在内。而308后，强力抨击马华也成了一种潮流。仿佛如果不大力抨击马华的话，就是不跟随大众心态、就是漠视人民民意。

我的观察是许多博客都抢着评论(当然也包括马华自己人)，而论点则往往是拾人牙慧，毫无新意。我不认为这是为了提升我们自己的”善意评批“。(当然，我绝对不是说马华是不可以被抨击的。只是抨击要有论点、要有内涵。而我们是不是只是重复外头的相同论调呢？）

对于党外对马华的抨击是政治生态的自然发展。并不出奇。我们应该不卑不亢地”有则改过、无则加勉“，并以理力争。也无须猛然点头，大力附和。政治游戏本来就是这样。我在想曹景行先生如果评论马华的话，会不会...

1) 想想自己的评论，经得起明天的检验吗？

2) 想想今天我们以无所不用其极的语言攻击本身同志(不论翁派或蔡派)的话，放在明天，我们会惭愧吗？

3) 如果仔细咀嚼本身之前的言语时，我们有没有一丝内咎吗？

4) 把我们今天的言论，放在明天，会有准确的切入点吗？

5) 如果不小心(我只是说不小心)，现在大力抨击的同志，有天坐上了高位的话，有能力完全改正局面吗？

另外，

4) 如果说华社对马华已没有了期待，我们呢？我们是不是对本身的党也没有了期待吗？

5) 如果我们已经对自己的党没有了期待的话，我们还呆在马华干吗？怎么不退党？(哈，不要对号入座。我只是就事论事。)

这篇文章写得太长。只是不喜欢看看博客们(尤其是马华博客们)，只是以附和反对的心态论事，而不彻底思考。

骂得凶，就是道理吗？套一句龙应台的话：请以文明说服我。

(只把此篇文章写在振国的博客里，因为我对振国有期待。希望加油加油。)

備注:
1.Chua 兄,我觉得你的这篇文章不应该只放在评语栏内而已;未经许可,大胆把它转贴在正面, 希望你不介意。

2.你说:“许多博客都抢着评论(当然也包括马华自己人)，而论点则往往是拾人牙慧，毫无新意。”这点,我相当同意。我的碩士班讲师最强调一篇文章应有正反的论点, 再加上自己的观点和评语(评语可用询问或疑问方式),千万不能用腐败的、谩骂的、恶毒的写法。

3.我等是感到悲哀马华及华社有这种不知敬老、月入息几千零吉的跳梁小醜,護主心切、经常無所不用極致的以各種言論乱攻击、污衊他人的文棍 "恶徒"。

4.实际上,相当多博客的写法不是很恶劣,也有一些博客的文章是中肯、有证据的。你说的刘振国的部落格(http://keykok.blogspot.com)是之一,cakap-cakap politik(http://cakappolitikmca.blogspot.com)是另一个,只不过后者写的是另一种风格,不符合碩士班的要求。

5.就像你说的,有几位以前双林斗的不可开交时的B队成员,靠大骂敦林良實出位及上位, 以达到目前身为中央領袖, 反而控制党员的发言权力。

6.我曾经向下属们大力推荐‘文學才子’的文章及散文集。现在,我的下属们反问:为什么自詡清流的文學才子现在所做的就是以前他自己猛烈评论、控诉的。(你要我如何回答?)

要纠正各大民族对华社的不良看法, 应由馬華做起。

横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

共勉之!

感恩。

有到吉兰丹时, 一定找机会跟您喝杯茶，聊聊天、交流意见。

马华包青天何在? 狗头侧侍候!!!

2009-09-26T19:57:00.000+08:00

峇眼槟榔这场补选,「超级候选人」迟迟未‘出炉’,很大的可能是因它关乎国阵、巫统和首相的声望。

前首相敦马哈迪医生坚决反对委派疑有污点的候选人依沙上阵。巫统元老东姑拉沙里也认为,巫统领导层应从宏观角度看待补选，辅以新政治文化观点为本，遴选赢得人民信任的候选人上阵。

独立民调中心主任依布拉欣则向“新海峡时报”说：‘委派依沙或许被视为不恰当，但这可能是确保国阵取得令人信服胜利的唯一方式。’他认为,国阵需向选民解释因何依沙是最佳人选, 以及他曾担任22年大臣和领导巫统的成绩单是有目共睹的!

令人深感疑惑的是有两份亲当权派的主流报章“马来西亚前锋报”和“新海峡时报”不约而同地在周五(9月25日)为依沙背书，舆论造势。

前锋报的记者甚至访问马华森州主席拿督姚再添和国大党森州主席拉惹哥巴鲁。令人不解的是他们不只说依沙深受成员党和各族欢迎,而马华峇眼槟榔的4支部全力支持依沙参选;若非依沙上阵，马华则必须加倍努力说服当地4000位华裔选民支持这候选人；同时也不敢保证当地华裔将支持依沙之外的候选人。拉惹哥巴鲁则表示，该党峇眼槟榔的13支部鼎力支持依沙，同时当地的园丘工人也接受后者。但当他和国大党党魁三美访问选区时,却身受其辱!

姚再添啊,姚再添,你大错特错了!

當首相还未决定森州峇眼槟榔补选的候选人,你在瞎操什么心啊?你不尊敬大马强人前首相可能是小事一件, 你越权、不尊敬马华总会长可是大事一件!!!

翁总,你说呢?你的爱将之一已‘认定’了污点可被漂白 (怪的是前首相敦马哈迪医生坚决反对!), 这不是掴了你一大掌?

翁总, <<污点不可能被漂白!>> 可是你的名句经典, 也是你用来砍杀蔡细历的杀手锏啊! 你在槟城所说的名句“我不讨好，只求好！”可不能再利用了,要不, 越来越多人会说你因私欲而砍杀蔡细历, 不是因为爱党! 善嗔一念之间阿。

马华纪律小组在建议砍杀蔡细历后,已不复其勇! 包青天何在? 快快祭起狗头侧, 将这位越权的州主席和中南马某一个小州的马华新闻局副主任陈某人,确认刘德贤对翁总的恶毒指责及污衊 (请查阅 马华纪律小组, 狗头侧何在? ) 之人 , 就地正法, 以儆效尤!!!

感恩。

A BIG HUG, A HANDSOME RETURN!

2009-09-25T22:24:00.001+08:00

Look at the great joy shown on the glory face of our beloved Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Bin Tun Hussein Onn, who was given a big hug by the overjoyed old lady Leong Chwee Chun. Leong is one of the 32 927 in the citizenship backlog (as of January 2009). We can see from the picture Leong’s long waiting happiness was overwhelmed by her tears! This is truly 1Malayisa! A hug from a Chinese Malaysian to a Malay Malaysian, a real ethnic cross over, which actually was a very common scene when I was young! (Why is this a less commonly seen and practiced culture nowadays?)

2 days later, while Leong was still in her great happiness after receiving her letter of assurance to get her citizenship, she was contacted by the local Chinese newspaper China Press that Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Bin Tun Hussein Onn would give a ‘Duit Raya’ of RM 500 to her. Wow, this was an incredible news to her, A BIG HUG HAD BEEN REWARDED BY A HANDSOME DUIT RAYA! She thanked the kind Home Minister whole hearted. She further said that she would give the minister’s family lanterns and moon cakes (there is a type of vegetarian halal moon cake sold in Kuala Lumpur) as this is a Chinese tradition used to be practiced. She added that she will keep the Duit Raya packet (Chin Pau) as a personal collection.

“We have cleared 75% of the backlog and are on target to meet the December deadline I have set,” said the minister. He had made this as part of the ministry’s KPI target. This is the type of minister we Rakyat of Malaysia are looking forward to have! When our beloved Johorian Datuk Seri was the Minister of Education, he had brought the Malaysian Education to a very noticeable and distinctive High Platform internationally. He is a true Malaysian. Nevertheless, one still can easily notice that he has a strong hold of Semangat Kenegerian: Johore!!!

Ministers and Deputy Ministers representing MCA (subsequently they represent the Chinese community as claimed by them), what are your KPIs and targets? Please be transparent and work must be noticeable in your portfolio as ministers and deputy ministers of the Rakyat of Malaysia, NOT as ministers and deputy ministers of MCA ONLY!!!

We Rakyat of Malaysia want to see that all our ministers and deputy ministers are conscientious at work and to help to recover Malaysia’s economic status. We DON”T want to see ministers and deputy ministers who are only interested in party crisis and tremor. Please remember that your ministers’ and deputy ministers’ pays and allowances come from the tax payers. All tax payers have every right to question you!!! Tax payers can question you and ask you to produce evidences showing how much time each day you are engaged in party’s private ‘business’ compared to your official work as cabinet members. Don’t forget, all civil servants MUST have a minimum of 8 SOLID working hours and are 24 hours stand-by on call, what about the ministers and deputy ministers? If you can’t cope up with these working hours, how are how to guarantee your subordinates will fulfill the working hours? Tax payers can also ask you to produce your KPIs and targets during your open days in each ministry for the Rakyat to check on your work. Please bear in mind, Rakyat are your main bosses, NOT your party leader! Party leaders come, party leaders go, the party still will remain as long as it is NOT DELIBERATELY DAMAGED by leader with noxious intention to destroy it by NOT listening to the party members in particular and the Rakyat at large!!!

Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, Minister in the Prime Minister’s department, where are you? Recently you have a strong man Datuk Seri Idris Jala to help you. Please check the KPIs and targets of each ministry. Have they passed up their third quarterly reports? Many of the Rakyat of Malaysia have shown their unhappiness lately.

Tan Sri, listed below is just one of the examples written by bloggers and the Rakyat who are truly disappointed and unhappy over certain ministries:

http://www.jentayuabaka.com/2009/04/mana-kpi-menteri-kesihatan.html

There are many others shown, please check for yourself!

Remember, 1 MALAYSIA FOR ALL.

我心底深处: 对马华的一种期待!!!

昨夜,我等赞扬两位前马华領袖的英文文稿放在我的部落还不到十分钟,就有人向我等呛声。这代表了什么?我等认为有必要公开讨论,以惯策尊敬的首相所要求的透明方式作业。

昨夜某匿名者的评语如下：

"Yawn.... obviously you do not know MCA and commenting as an outsider with limited knowledge. Can you stop fawning over the 2 old men.
Ting never did anything outstanding, just ask around, he was the worse Housing minister. Michael Chen just play along as he was just a follower.
BTW, if you are not an MCA member, you have no locus standi to discuss internal MCA issues?"

我等见识浅薄之人、深感疑惑,觉得有些不对之处。
1.是不是有人二十四小时在互联网络关注有关马华的评论?

2.为什么我等赞扬现領袖可以,赞扬前領袖即刻引起呛声?

3.为什么某些马华領袖不能有海纳百川的胸襟?

在我等公开解答之前,请某匿名者答复以下的几个疑问:

1.马华是不是马来西亚华人公会的简称?*
2.国家的独立是不是由巫统、马华及国大党争取的?
3.马华是不是国阵的成员之一?
4.马华是不是中央政府的成员之一?
5.马华是不是有些州政府的成员之一?
6.马华是不是在很多地方政府有代表?

7.马华的州及国会议员是不是在大选时由各大民族选出,才有机会當官?是不是应该惜福、感恩?

8.‘敬老’还是不是马华的座右铭之一?

无可否认,以上的答案都是肯定的!!!

因而,我等认为马华不是某些領袖的私人产业。由独立前到现在,有谁胆敢否定马华跟国家政治及经济的关系?又有谁胆敢切断马华跟马来西亚各民族的联系?

由此可见,马华如果有做错,马来西亚各民族都可给予谴责;马华如果做对,各民族都会不吝给予赞扬!!!

因此，我等是马来西亚公民就是答案!!!

尤有进者,丹斯里拿督曾永森是促进马中建交的大功臣之一、也被誉为“马来西亚的基辛格”,而丹斯里拿督斯里陈祖排博士的孔融让梨之美谈,都不是我们这些后生晚辈可随意评论、以各種言論污衊的!

一些朋友,包括初识的网络之友,常说我等心底深处是‘恨铁不成钢’! 你们说呢？

要纠正各大民族对华社的不良看法, 应由馬華做起。

横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。

共勉之!

感恩。

备注: * 独立前的注册是马来亚华人公会; 现在应是马来西亚华人公会。

TAN SRI MICHAEL CHEN & DR. TING, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

2009-09-22T23:42:00.000+08:00

As usual, this morning I went to the traditional coffee shop to take my breakfast. Unexpectedly, I saw at least two of the former MCA leaders had made their stands to assert that the Central Committee (CC) of MCA, under the Constitutions of MCA, is in no position to review and alter the decision made by the supreme council since Dr. Chua SL did not put in appeal and had surrendered the case to be tabled in the coming EGM. This is parallel to what had been asserted and confirmed by the former MP of Kota Melaka lawyer Wong NC. He iterated such opinion prior to the meeting of CC in 19.09.2009. (Why is Wong NC so quiet now? Is he being pressured? We have been wondering whether he attended the CC meeting. If so, what was his stand compared to the report in newspaper that Dr. Ng YY refused to caste vote?)

CONGRATULATIONS, Tan Sri Michael Chen and Dr. Ting Chew Peh, you have finally stated the truth! Both of you were former MCA leaders gaining high respect from the party members and the Rakyat of Malaysia. Your words carry much more weight compared to the articulations from any of the present exalted, contentious, argumentative and disputatious leaders. Please ignore the regional leader, from the south, who commented on the two of you. Know what? He dared even passed insolent, impudent and scornful remarks (but only in Chinese papers) on the Menteri Besar of Johore, who had been irritated because of the change of the council members’ name list chosen by the MCA Divisional Committee without his permission. How lofty and pompous was he to go against the MB of Johore! We really hope that the Menteri Besar of Johore will teach him a lesson properly. Bear in mind, the present Menteri Besar of Johore, an old boy of Ledang English Secondary School, originated from Serom, Tangkak, is thus far, the BEST MB. He is very respected and honoured by all Johorians! His close and perfect relation with His Highness and the Royal Family of Johore is so tight and impermeable that there was no way to ask him to relinquish a state constituency to go for parliamentary constituency in the few past general elections without Johore Sultan's consent! Look at the previous MCA presidents who had headed the State MCA and contested the parliamentary constituencies in Johore before, who dared to not kowtow to the Johore Sultan, Royal Family and the MB? The MB of Johore should charge that disrespectful man to court!

Many of the formal MCA leaders have been trying to refrain from giving comments on the present crisis and tremor of MCA, except the ones who had performed ‘triple jumps’ before, but they were misleading in articulations. In fact, we had noticed that both of you had been keeping in very low profile recently and were very reluctant to give any comment on the present plight of MCA. The tremor in MCA has in a way not only exasperated and truly agonized many of its party members in particular but the populace of the nation at large! Apparently, MCA is in a very precarious situation. The party needs trust worthy seniors like you to help to appease some of the present leaders who are so arrogant, haughty, egoistic, irrational and emotional. These leaders have been exalted by their immediate supporters, forgetting the ordinary party members and the Rakyat are actually the main bosses!!!

Dr. Ting, you were a very famous professional in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia once. You had been invited to contest as an MP on behalf of MCA. You won, and you were appointed a cabinet post till you had been a minister before. You had been appointed as the Secretary General of MCA. During your time as a secretary, there was NOT even a single big controversial and disputable issue against you. You were a real scholar, knowing your duty well and had apprehended the Constitutions of MCA thoroughly. You had played your role well and definitely that was because you had always been following the constitutions of MCA very closely. You know the Rules and Regulations governing the MCA members, right from the president to the ordinary members at your finger tips! How dare a ‘young’ man from the south uttered against two senior people like you when you spoke basing on facts? How dared he question your credibility and uttered that you made wrong interpretation of the MCA Constitutions? What makes him so supercilious and lordly?

Tan Sri Michael Chen, you had been the Deputy President of MCA before. Even during your final term when there was some unhappiness between you and Tan Sri Lee San Choon, both of you were good examples of ‘Eton’ gentlemen. We did NOT see the two of you going round the country much in making unfounded, malicious, maleficent and noxious accusations against each other! Even if there were meetings with some of the local party members, they were just the normal gatherings without making agonizing accusations. During the crisis, your sole famous quotation: “以其跪着生, 不如站着死” not only has become a legacy in MCA but it has become a popular quote in the Chinese community! Likewise, Tun Ling LS and Tan Sri Lim AL were real gentlemen during their tremor of MCA, and both chose to step down peacefully!

The Chinese community in particular, and the Rakyat of Malaysia at large, want to see that all MCA leaders, Deputy Ministers and Ministers who are responsible, chary, meticulous, sagacious, free from any form of Corruptions (including the abuses of power and time), transparent, accountable, performing, and possess the qualities as EFFECTIVE and CHARISMATIC leaders.

Last but not least, the following two phrases should become MCA’s sine qua non forever!!!!!

鲁迅的名句:

“横眉冷对千夫指，俯首甘为孺子牛。”

应该成为馬華的座右铭!

REPOST: 一辈子别喝可口可乐！！[转帖]

2009-09-22T16:55:00.000+08:00

I happened to come across an article, “【分享】一辈子别喝可口可乐！！－转” in the blog: http://revolution-anson.blogspot.com/ .

I found it interesting and worth reposting since nowadays many people are very concerned of their personal health. Coca Cola used to be my favourite drink, but as age is catching up, I have been trying to abstain from drinking it. I had asked the blogger for his permission to repost this article, but I was told that he received from an email and there was no way to locate the originality of the article. I searched through the internet and got this post, which is supposed to be much older than the rest. If anyone can locate the original post / writer, please leave a message here.
http://blog.chinaunix.net/u/1862/ 自寻烦恼的小屋

一辈子别喝可口可乐[转帖]

一辈子别喝可口可乐,你可能读过以下所述，但为了万一你没读过，请读一读吧。

我认识一位因肾衰竭而过逝的年轻母亲，她曾在伯特米那医院住过一个月，而且每天只能喝一杯水，医生为她进行了药物治疗，但似乎是太迟了。根据她所说，她以前每天午餐都喝「非酒精性的饮料」或称做「软性饮料」（译注：就是那种有很多种美美的各种颜色，各种口味，甜甜的，多半有气泡的，冰的饮料，像是可口可乐，百事可乐，汽水，沙士，甚至标榜有什麽奥利多活菌，bifidus益菌。等等）。虽然只是每天一杯，但足以摧毁这个维持生命所必须的器官，她终於在去年十月去世，留下一个一岁大的儿子！

请继续往下读！

危险的非酒精性饮料！

这篇文章无关政治，但与可口可乐、百事可乐有关，非常耐人寻味。对你们这些爱喝而且自以为很清楚可口可乐/百事可乐的人

清洁厕所：倒一罐可口可乐在马桶□，让这个活生生的可乐待个一小时，然後冲掉。可乐□的柠檬酸会将玻璃质似陶瓷器（译注：指马桶）上的污点消除。

将车子保险杆上的污锈除去：

将皱成一团的铝箔片（译注：即一般厨房□刷洗锅底的铝质刷子）浸在可口可乐後，拿来搓洗保险杆。

清洁汽车电池的电极：

将整罐的可口可乐倒在电极，以可乐的泡沫清除锈蚀。

松开锈蚀的螺栓：

将一块布浸在可口可乐後，搓洗锈蚀的螺栓，搓个几分钟。

除去衣物的油脂：将整罐可乐倒在一堆油腻的衣物，加入清洁剂，再进行清洗工作。可口可乐可以帮忙油垢的附离。它也可以清除挡风玻璃的污雾。而我们喝这种东西！

可口可乐&百事可乐提供参考：

软性饮料的酸碱平均值，像可口可乐，百事可乐，是3.4。这种酸度酸到可以溶解牙齿和骨头。我们人体到了30岁左右就停止制造骨质。之後，骨头透过排尿，每年会有百分之8到18会溶体外，而这端看所摄取食物的酸度。（酸度并不是指食物的味道，而是指钾、钙、镁对□的比例）所有被溶的钙成份都会在血管的动脉、静脉、皮肤，组织和器官累积。这会影响肾功能（如肾结石）。就维他命和矿物质而言，软性饮料并无营养价值。他们只有比较多的糖、酸度，和像是糖精和色素的添加物。

有些人喜欢在餐後喝冰冷的软性饮料，想想看会有什麽影响?我们人体维持对消化酵素最佳功能的体温是在37度。而冰冷的软性饮料远低於37度，有时甚至是接近零度。这会降低酵素的功能，而且增加消化系统的负担，而消化较少的食物，事实上，这些食物会发酵。发酵的食物产生难闻的气体，会坏掉，会形成毒素，而被我们的肠子所吸收，并且在血管中循环送全身。毒素的传送会导致各种疾病的形成。在喝可口可乐或百事可乐或是其他软性饮料前想一想。你可曾在喝瓶气体的饮料的当头想过你喝的是什麽?你吞下二氧化碳，而这是全世界没有人会建议你喝的东西。

二个月前，在达利大学有场比赛：「看谁能喝最多的可口可乐?」

获胜者喝了八瓶，并当场死亡，因为血管中含了太多的二氧化碳，而没有足够的氧。

从那次以後，校长就禁任何的软性饮料在大学的福利社贩卖。

有人将掉下来的牙齿放在百事可乐中十天，它溶解了。牙齿和骨头是人体中唯一死亡後，仍可保存无缺的器官。想想看这样的饮料，会对你脆弱的肠壁和胃壁做出什麽样的事来。

请仔细阅读！

今天回到家以后，您要做的第一件事就是：检查您的洗发香波（即指任何洗发水）！请仔细阅读下面的信息，然后回家对照并检查您的洗发水。现在更换洗发水还时犹未晚厎请检查洗发水瓶子上的成份说明，看看是否有一种被称为 Sodium Laureth Sulfate（钠Laureth酸盐，或简称SLS）的物质。这种物质在大多数洗发水中都可以找到，而生产厂商用它是因为它可以产生很多泡沫并且它很便宜。但是，事实上SLS是用来清洗车库地板的，并且它的清洁能力十分强大！而且有证据表明如果长期使用它会导致癌症，这决非玩笑。

有一天我回到家并检查了我的洗发水（维达沙宣）；发现它并不含有该物质；但是其他品牌如Vo5、Palmolive、Paul Mitchell 以及Body Shop出品的新型Hemp Shampoo等都含有该物质。克莱柔Clairo）草本精华（Herbal Essences）标注的成份中的第一条（这意味着它是唯一的主要成份）就是 Sodium Laureth Sulfate。
因此我打电话给它的一家公司，告诉他们其产品包含有一种会使用户得癌症的物质。他们说，是的，我们知道这件事，但是我们什么也做不了，因为我们需要它来产生泡沫。另外，高露洁（Colgate）牙膏中也含有该物质，它也被用来产生泡沫。他们还说他们会送给我一些信息。

研究表明，在80年代，癌症发病概率为8000分之一，而现在每3个人中就有1个可能患这种疾病。哪个更严重呢？因此我希望认真考虑这个问题，并将这封邮件转寄给所有你认识的人，希望这样能防止更多的人患上癌症。

马华纪律小组, 狗头侧何在?

2009-09-22T00:04:00.000+08:00

不久前, 柔州马华某地方領袖刘德贤指责马华总会长有在台湾喝酒和看吧女的不光彩记录。當时,刘德贤说的不是很清楚, 也没有说出证人为谁、更没提出任何证据!

过后, 刘德贤理所當然被纪律小组建议判决冻结党籍。

我等见识不广之人,深感疑惑, 总觉得有不对之处:
1. 这是个严重的、恶毒的指责。
2. 因为没有证人及证据、使总会长名誉遭受损害。
3. 意图摧毁总会长清高、清白的良好形象。

因而, 我等认为,刘德贤的这种‘陷害’, 已导致不只是总会长个人名誉受损, 而是全体马华上上下下都感到不光彩 ! 马华总会长受诬陷已成一件民事案,刘德贤应被告上法庭。可是他只不过被判决冻结党籍, 是不是太便宜他了? 还是有其他的原因?

刘德贤好象没完没了,一直对总会长死缠烂打; 又再次提出要总会长付还五份之一的费用, 因为大家已不再是朋友了, 他只愿意替另外三位朋友出钱。

刘德贤啊, 刘德贤, 你大错特错了!
1. 总会长没有报警, 告你上法庭, 已对你是宽宏大量。
2. 你那三位朋友不敢出面替你作证, 已不配當你的朋友, 你应该向他们索取他们应付的费用。

日前, 马华中委会决定’减刑’，将蔡细厉的’死刑’改为’监禁4年’，而另一位北马马华某地方領袖也被‘解冻’了, 你还是‘外甥打灯笼’! 你的‘罪恶’真的比那一位北马某地方領袖所犯的过错更大、更不可被‘饶恕’吗?

昨日, 某位友人传来一则可笑的、荒谬的信息; 说是中南马某一个小州的马华新闻局副主任陈某人向刘德贤呛声。

这一位在308 后 ‘飞上枝头变凤凰’ 的年轻人, 說什么配偶分手过后多年, 不该再追讨多年来的吃饭钱。可笑啊, 真可笑! 几个大男人, 在那儿喝花酒, 看吧女(总会长當时肯定不在场!), 說什么配偶, 真是的。

这位某小州的马华新闻局副主任陈某人,說话有没有经大脑思考? 要護主心切、要跳出來替主子说话,也应该想一想,什么是可以说的, 什么是不可以说的。當大家还在怀疑刘德贤所说的话, 陈某人的这番说辞反而确认了刘德贤的指责!!!

陈某人真是胆大包天, 挑衅纪律小组的权威、挑战总会长的虎威, 罪孽深重,不可宽恕。包青天何在, 快快祭起狗头侧, 就地正法, 以儆效尤!!!

严重的濫權!!!

2009-09-20T13:20:00.000+08:00

可笑, 可笑, 真可笑!

这是个什么世界? 这是个什么团体? 这是个什么政党?

921名中央代表已签署要求召开特大，而马华总部已发出通知书，在10月10日召开特大,一切已照程序进行。蔡细历更已决定放弃上诉(中委会是谁控制?又何必自讨没趣!),以最民主的做法把纪律事件交给中央代表在特大作出裁决。因此中委会无权检讨开除蔡细历的决定, 更无权改判为冻结蔡细历4年党籍。也是中委的马华总部发言人王乃志律师日前接受《马新社》访问时，也已道出根据马华党章，若被开除者放弃上诉，中委会无法要求会长理事会，修改或重新检讨有关决定。

中委会的这种做法代表什么?
1.想要骑劫921位中央代表要求召开的特大。
2.想要影响已签署要求召开特大的中央代表,希望他们要求撤回已签署的表格。
3.企图影响一些中立及游离的中央代表在10月10日投票时,投翁总的同情票。

马华总会长近来不断强调，如果特大通过第二及第三提案，他将率领马华会长理事会总辞！到底马华党章的那一个条款阐明会长理事会必须跟随总会长一起辞职？更可疑的是,没有任何一位马华会长理事会的成员附和他所说的!他的独角戏演了又演,不烦吗?

从919中委会的裁决, 我等获得下列结论:
1.不管是会长理事会或者中委会,他们只像是橡胶印章而已。
2.‘一言堂’的存在是不争的事实。
3.判处冻结蔡醫生4年的党籍，已跨越两届中委会的权力。这是一种严重的濫權!
4.霸权及独裁的作风是改不了的!

再看一看, 他利用特权的身份及权力, 濫用党的一大笔资金装修马华大厦、诬陷蔡醫生成立爱国党等等没有根据、物证的指控、责备:

當爱国党的秘书和主席被迫提早出面澄清该党跟蔡醫生及民政党某强人没有任何关系时, 文學才子越描越黑, 叫人们不要相信蔡醫生及他所说的话, 简直不知所云! 既然已叫党员不要相信他所说的话, 又何必全馬走透透做秀, 创造无中生有的异议? 蔡醫生及马华党员是这么率直和可欺的吗? 再者,他叫党员不要相信蔡醫生及他所说的话, 在逻辑学来说, 党员就应该相信蔡醫生所说的话!!! 整个会长理事会及中委会没有任何一个人了解普通的逻辑学吗? 这是多麼令人惊讶的!

要总辞也好,要一个人谢罪辞职也好,总之所有的马华中央代表必须站稳立场、不受威胁、坚持召开特大,使用你们的权力。我強調,中央代表必须被尊重!!!

人必自辱而後人辱之!!!

一個充滿爭議的人,有何資格批評他人?我再次強調,濫權是一種腐敗的行為,也是一種贪污。贪污是國家及人民的首号公敵!!!

上台靠机会,下台靠智慧。重新洗牌,有何不可???

你可以的, 馬華!!!

2009-09-18T22:31:00.000+08:00

近几日, 真的、假的有关马华的信息, 马华的領袖陷入各種各樣的流言蜚語之中, 使得一些华社領袖大表失望。在各種信息中, 最不可能的是向海南領袖求救! 以他的霸气、持才傲物、刚愎自用、个人英雄主义的性格, 他不可能向任何一个人弯腰’!!!

一些马华的过去人物, 何必插入一脚 ? 尤其是那些从M党跳去G党再跳回M党的人。何不学学李三春, 在最高峰时退下, 挥一挥手、不带走一片云彩的洒脱?

某些社团領袖已经发出预告: 马华不可能再助华社办事了!?

为了阻止流失华社的信任及向心力, 也参考了多方面的意见, 我等获得下列结论:

1. 各級領袖不得再製造不利马华的流言蜚語及醜聞。
2. 立刻停止南上北下的汇报会。学一学李三春和曾永森 , 林良實和李金獅; 林良實和林亞里等等时期的马华纠纷, 有那一位領袖全馬走透透做秀, 创造无中生有的异议, 而且当对手提出证据時, 卻全盘否认?
3. 各級領袖, 不管是拥有党职还是官职, 全部公布个人, 太太及孩子们的财产和储蓄、存款帐户。
4. 各級領袖严守清廉道德操行, 拥有正氣、良知、公信力、团队及问责精神。
5. 各級領袖实施透明的制度, 也不能拖欠债款不还。

以上五个要点虽忠言逆耳, 望马华众领袖能接纳，在特大举行之前有所实践!

要纠正他人, 尤其是友族们, 对华社的不良看法, 应由馬華做起; 不要只是为了性丑闻而忘了人民的首号公敵: 濫權、贪污。共勉之!

感恩。

蔡醫生, 你的中文很差!?

2009-09-18T02:25:00.000+08:00

馬華可说是近一年來最红的政黨, 天天見報; 各種各樣有關馬華的新聞, 不管是好的還是不好的, 或是各類自己人或他人製造的流言蜚語, 不只經常大標題刊登在報章的頭版, 也大副刊在內頁。尤有進者, 馬華更是網絡世界, 部落格的宠儿。天天都有不受抑制的爭議, 也有很多不可思议, 被放縱, 無的放矢, 暗箭傷人的言论, 出现在各媒體。这些只懂热爱党領袖, 不懂爱党的人, 把煽動本事發揮到淋漓盡致, 使馬華不斷的受到破壞! 馬華的各級領袖, 你們不觉得丢脸吗? 人必自辱而後人辱之!!!

尽管如此, 实际上这些不可怕, 可怕的是自詡清流的文學才子每天帶幾個跟班, 到處唱、由南唱到北! 做错了事,不負責任、避談, 說错了話、不只不承認, 還死口說沒有說過。幾個跳梁小醜, 不知頭、不知尾, 護主心切、趕緊跳出來, 說是诬陷, 他們的主子沒有說過那一類没经大脑思考的話!

當沙巴马华沙巴实必丹区会主席苏诗登及另外2名马华区会主席挺身而出指证時, 文學才子還不承認。苏主席跟隨蔡醫生見中央代表们談起蔡醫生被罵是狗, 也發毒誓如果說謊、天打雷劈! 一個胆敢發毒誓的人站在你面前, 中央代表们還能不信吗?

眼看形勢不對, 才子趕緊說蔡醫生中文太差, 不瞭解他所讲的鹰犬、狗腿子, 不是人尽皆知，有四条腿的狗。不才只受過六年華小教育。由中學、大學、直碩士班、都是受純英文教育。才子只能够唬一唬像我这些, 中文不好的人。但是, 像林放這類網絡前輩, 更曾在新闻媒体服务良久之人, 中文造诣之高不在話下。林放的解说(http://limfang.blogspot.com/)及对才子的责备, 更是无可置疑的! 才子不是華文本科畢業生, 越描越黑,不知所雲! 清朝時, 鹰犬爪牙横行天下。日本占領中國時, 狗腿子充滿天下, 處處都有, 壞事做盡! 蔡醫生做了大恶、罪孽深重的事? 为何被人無所不用極致的以各種言論污衊?

一個充滿爭議的人, 有何資格批評他人? 我強調, 濫權是一種腐敗的行為, 也是一種贪污。贪污是國家及人民的首号公敵! 盲目的人,为免惹得一身蚁, 还是闭嘴的好。

张秀福说, 翁诗杰贵为马华总会长，所说的每句话、做的每个决定，都对马华起着巨大的影响。他也遗憾翁诗杰至今還没有就“斩鸡头”的挑战，做出回应，也不敢上神庙烧香发誓，以示清白。

雞犬何罪之有, 要斩之? 上神庙, 烧香发誓就好!!!

感恩。

CONGRATULATIONS, DEPUTY MINISTER OF EDUCATION!!!

2009-09-15T22:41:00.001+08:00

恭喜你，教育部副部长 !!!

CONGRATULATIONS, Deputy Minister of Education. You have had done a very CORRECT and wise move: that is urging MCA to have only one EGM (which was finally announced yesterday afternoon) and granting the MCA Youth members freedom to attend any talks they like to go. Yes, this is a democratic world; NO one has the right to decide for the others! You know very well that the MCA Youths are not the ones to be controlled by using irrational and illogical instructions. Take for instance, during the contest of the top post in MCA Youth years back, the youths did not follow the wish and blessing of all the MCA Youth state chairmen. They despised the blessing from the top liners of MCA main body and took their firm stand to support the contentious, argumentative and disputatious person. Subsequently, tremor happened in MCA Youth later. Our beloved Deputy Minister of Education, you had made a very wise move now, unlike the one from Subang Jaya. He had made himself a clown! How dared he ask the central representatives to withdraw the petition forms which had been signed and witnessed by qualified lawyers?

Another mockery happened in Kedah two days ago. 5 out of 15 Division chairmen attended a press conference to support the MCA president. The state chairman declared that Kedah fully supports (100 % ?) the MCA chief. What an irony is this? Doesn’t he know simple Mathematics? Is one third a majority? Is one third equivalent to 100 %? This is an absurd concept of Mathematics and anthropology one has ever heard of. Or is this a new discovery or finding in Mathematics that we Kampong Folks are outdated? Since you are a Deputy Minister of Education, I suggest that you recommend a good Mathematics teacher for him!!!

For the last couple of weeks, we have noticed that you have at least, I dare not use the word finally because you may recur your mistakes intentionally or unintentionally, tried to refrain from attending the road shows organized by the chief. You have made a very wise move. I iterate, your immediate boss is our beloved PM, and your bosses at large are the Rakyat of Malaysia!

You are still very young and if we are not mistaken, you are in the early 40s. You still have a very long way to go. You have a very bright political arena. It is full of blessings and joys. Please remember all these blessings are from the Rakyat and from your sifu Long PT in JB, not just from your subordinates or you blind disciples! He is a gentle and a very nice person. He never used dirty tactics to maliciously dismay and damage the image of his rivals. We strongly believe that you were with him for long, as such, you would have some how inherited the good practices from him! Keep it up! Please bear in mind, Rakyat are the main bosses!!!

You are a Deputy Minister of Education. You are sure to know and able to apprehend fully the KPIs set by our beloved PM, all the GOs, Rules & Regulations that govern all civil servants and cabinet members, apart from the DOs and DON’Ts, much more than other MCA Ministers and Deputy Ministers! You know very well that there are 3 categories of Corruption being defined in the Anti-Corruption Acts:

1. Corruption of Money / Monetary Gain - receiving rewards or anything similar or letting family members or close relatives having monetary gains in approving projects or giving preferences etc.

2. Corruption of Power - Abusing the power by giving projects or giving preferences to any one having relations or allowing the facilities or premises to be used for personal or any close relation's personal interest, demoting or expelling subordinates for personal gain / interest, promoting subordinates based on personal judgment or aiming to gain support etc.

3. Corruption of Time - late to work, leave working place early, use the official time for personal interest, not related to core work etc.

Consequently, it is impossible for you to support a person who openly abuses power and involves in wrong acts like conflict of interest, otherwise how are you going to face other educators and students? IT IS INDISPUTABLE THAT CORRUPTION IS A MORE NOXIOUS ACT THAN SEX SCANDAL!!!!!

Whether you like it or not, you have nothing else to say other than talking about EDUCATION, LEARNING, DELEARNING & RELEARNING, and TRAINING, DETRAINING & RETRAINING. So you may have to play the role as sifu in enabling your counterparts in MCA to have satisfactory grasping of these requirements set by our beloved PM!!!!

What the Rakyat want from the party is merely a small request: be free from corruptions (any form) and refrain from indulging in personal or party activities which do not bring benefit to Malaysians especially during this moment the Board of Governors of the Chinese primary schools are very agonized over the issue of proven 80 % fund in the LPS account before they can apply for buying land or build premises for school. On top of that, many Chinese-based primary and secondary schools are facing great difficulties in physical conditions and lack of fund to settle school utility bills! Please don’t forget, the issue of tendering school canteen is at the corner.

Look at the picture below, an extract from the front page of a local Chinese newspaper:

Year in and year out, the recurrence of these sadness and agony is a never ending story! Our hearts, especially from the Chinese community, are BLEEDING! We need to have a Deputy Minister of Education who only indulges in work, great care and patience for the Chinese–based primary and secondary schools in particular, and other types of half-aided schools like the Tamil and the mission schools in general, please. Remember, you are the First Deputy Minister of Education, for MALAYSIANS, NOT for the MCA party or MCA President !!!

You did a good job to help the SJKC which you had spent 6 years of primary school life by giving a handsome sum some time last year. I am sure your family, your teachers (especially those from the Chinese primary school in the country side), your schoolmates and your village folks will feel extremely proud of you forever: the First Chinese Deputy Minister (an excellent and performing deputy minister NOT a non-performing deputy minister) produced by the village and the school! You had made those Chinese primary school teachers honoured. Their hardship of travelling from the town to a remote place to teach in a very small Chinese primary school had been greatly rewarded, not monetarily, but in the reward as the school has had produced a Deputy Minister of Education. This is the GREATEST achievement thus far attained by the school. We believe that the school, teachers, country folks are looking eagerly forward to the advent of a Minister to the school in near future, and that is you, Dr. Wee! Congratulations again, you had created an excellent RECORD in the village and the school for the younger generations to follow! You need to help them to stand upright in front of every one and be proud of you forever! Your good name will remain as a legacy in the village and the school forever!

We believe your road is still very long and you have a long way to go in the political arena. You can do much better than at present before you go further up in MCA! Prove yourself to be named as the BEST Deputy Minister of Education, thus bringing greatest pride and honour to your beloved primary school and your home town!

The Rakyat also want and have the right to know your KPIs: How many Chinese-based, Tamil and mission schools have you visited? How many of the deeply engrain Chinese school issues have you settled once and for all? We are looking forward to have a selfless and excellent Deputy Minister for the time being and a superb minister in near future!!!!!

May Buddha always be with you, blessing your conscientious contributions to the Rakyat and the nation!

In DHAMMA

LEADERS: BE RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE, PLEASE ...

2009-09-13T18:36:00.000+08:00

領袖們, 請慎言!!!

This morning, as usual, I went to the traditional coffee shop not far away from my house to take my breakfast. Today, I ordered a cup of ‘thick’ and fragrant Hainanese coffee (only RM 1.00) and a bowl of delicious laksa (only RM 2.50). Well, I have a very bad habit that I ought to read newspapers when I am taking breakfast especially during the week ends.

Week ends are supposed to be my days to relax and have a peaceful mind. Every one wants to have, at times, serene and unruffled moments especially when we are enjoying our delicious food and have a nice time to read some newspapers. Occasionally, the coffee shop will be quite crowded but the owner and customers there will not disturb you even if you were to take hours to read the newspapers. The owner of the shop is so kind that he provides daily newspapers comprising 3 major types of Chinese newspapers and the Star.

Out of blue, I was stricken by a flurry! I saw in an inner section of a Chinese newspaper such an annoying and agonizing statement: “Don’t believe in what So & So and I said,” told a political leader. It’s the first time I got my feet wet on this type of irresponsible and irritating utterance from a leader. Oh my Buddha, is this truly a sentence uttered from the mouth of a Malaysian leader? Unbelievable, unreasonable, absurd, ridiculous, incredulous, irresponsible, unaccountable, preposterous ... what else can you think of to describe such a shocking act of this type of leaders? This is one of the greatest mockeries one has ever heard of recently!

These leaders can be very incongruous in making claims contradicting to what they had said previously. They can twist and turn around to say something entirely different after the concrete evidences had been put forth to them. Aren’t they feeling ashamed of what they have alleged on unfounded claims or the ‘stories’ cooked up by them? Why can’t they compete in a just way and behave more like gentlemen?

It has been a large number of allegations made by one of the political leaders recently without showing evidences and concrete proofs. For instance when some of the Sabah Division chairmen made press statement to confirm that Dr. Chua SL had been belittled maliciously with an ill intention to dismay and damage his dignity by using some maleficent but unfounded comments, he could quickly turn around. He blamed others having very poor grasp of Chinese Language and had twisted his meanings. He denied that he had been constantly using disparaging sentences against some one. Secondly, he alleged Dr. Chua SL had formed a party known as ‘Parti Cinta Malaysia’. After the party’s founders put up press statements to clarify that the party has nothing to do with MCA or Dr, Chua or Tiong, he twisted his words again.

We can apply a simple logic in this case. From the sentence “don’t believe in what So & So and I said”, one can immediately jump to an inferring insinuation that the person who articulated this sentence cannot be trusted. However, there exists an innuendo that the So & So can be trusted! This is simply because what was said by the articulator is inevitably false now. As such, what he asks us to believe, we cannot believe; what he asks us not to believe, we have to believe! Isn’t it a clear logical implication that So & So had spoken the truth? Don’t they realise that they have derogated themselves and their party? The tactics used by them are all ‘below the belt’. We hope that people will see the truth nature of a person. After all, a leopard cannot change its spots and a spade is still a spade.

I feel that some thing has definitely gone wrong some where in the present so-called affluent societies. Apparently, many people are so daring and fearless to lie. Who are the ones to be blamed? Isn’t ‘Belief in God’ the First Principle in Rukun Negara which is the doctrine of all Malaysian? Moreover, the Fifth Principle governs our conduct and behaviour! Why are these liars so sceptical? Don’t they believe in Gods? Are they not scared to be punished, if not now, later by telling lies?

The Chinese community wants to be unflustered from emotional agitation in particular and the Rakyat at large wants to have an unperturbed society and nation in general!

I personally urge the Malaysian government to form a school like the Eton College in England, whose graduates are all gentlemen, to have serious and ‘vigorous’ training for the local politicians. Most of our politicians need to learn how to articulate in the public and learn to respects others!!! Teach them to be responsible and accountable for what they have said and what they have done! Let them know that if leaders cannot be trusted, who else can we trust? How can leaders ask us NOT to trust them? This is the greatest irony in the world!

Last but not least, I sincerely hope that the present MCA leaders can learn from their sifu like Tun Ling and Lim AL who were the real gentlemen by NOT belittling the rivals during the party’s tremor and crisis at their time. The former Deputy President of MCA, Lee KS, in his days of unhappiness with Tun Ling, was never so arrogant and haughty! Even their present ousted leaders like Tan Seri Ong KT, Datuk Dr. Fong CO and Datuk Ong KC are examples of leaders who are polite and worth respecting!

文笔小功夫，容人大丈夫

致Kg Folk 兄：

汗颜之作承蒙阁下如此错爱，本人深感荣幸。兄台亲自到“寒舍”，留言交待小生特地以中文点评贵作。晚生文笔浅薄之至，但阁下盛意拳拳，唯有恭敬不如从命，斗胆献丑。

兄台自小学后，就没有书写任何中文文章。贵笔尘封数十寒暑，如今，再度执笔，开山之作能有此功力，实属难得！此外，阁下言道“不敢忘本”，炎黄之孙本就应以博大精深的中华文化为傲。兄长如此胸怀，好生令人敬佩！

阁下曾言道，文笔不能随心所欲，自由发挥，还盼像小生般随心书写任何中文文章。个中原因莫过于兄台一直都是以英文写作。而英文和中文本身就存有很大的文化差异。阁下英文文笔之锋锐，咄咄逼人之势，本人有幸领教。但在挥笔书写中文时，兄台所面对的问题是找不到合适的表达和修饰词语。这是长时期不书写中文所带来的困惑。

表达同一个意思，中文有多种词语和方式。仲然意思相同，但每个词汇却能带来不同的意境。差之毫厘，谬以千里。中文之奥妙远非直接了当的英文所能比。

中文有不同的文体，如白话、古白话、古文言、诗词和歌赋。如今，一般人都喜欢用白话作为文体。如能在白话文章内加入古白话、古文言、成语、谚语和广为人知的中华历史元素，文章的吸引力定能更上一层楼。其实，本人自幼热爱古典名著和神州历史，所以在书写中文时，一般都喜好引用名句精华。读书破万卷，下笔如有神，果然是至理名言！此乃小生写作的心得，特此与君分享。

以上所言，纯属是笔者的愚见。文笔若有冒犯处，敬请海涵！文笔小功夫，容人大丈夫！共勉之！

祝君百尺杆头，更进一步。

人必自辱而後人辱之!!!

2009-09-11T22:46:00.000+08:00

前幾日某報刊登了槟州首长林冠英在某個場合公開指说馬華是 “找红包” (Mahu Cari Angpow)的政党的新聞。隔日，槟州馬華妇女组力指行動黨在308大選已經“得红包” (Dapat Ang Pao)，却還對政敵咄咄逼人。林首长再说MCA是 Money Collecting Agency 的縮寫; 行動黨的人好像嘴癢、非说不可; 陈國偉插嘴说MCA是 Make Chinese Angry 的縮寫。

真可笑, 感覺是一些人在糊鬧而已。

隔幾日某報刊登了槟州首長林冠英又再踩馬華的報導, 槟州馬華憤怒了, 趕緊群起聲討和起訴林首長。

看了這些新聞, 感到好氣又好笑。

林首長踩了馬華, 槟州馬華妇女组也已取笑行動黨。可是槟州馬華認為林首長的言論使馬華蒙羞, 因而起訴林首長。

問題是,到底真正是誰使馬華蒙羞?

去年馬華改選過後到現在, 馬華的成績單在那? 合格吗?

人們所看到的是許多馬華的領袖陷入各種各樣的流言蜚語之中, 而不能提出有力的反駁!

尤有進者, 馬華所提議的“三拼”:

一拼. 拼经济民生 (在国家经济面临大考验时，协助国家稳定经济，责無旁贷。)

二拼. 拼执政为民 (贯彻执政为民的理念落实，不能远离政治的主轴。)

三拼. 拼和谐社会 (创造和谐共享的社会，重新定位及打造健康的种族和谐关系。)

似乎已變成新“三拼”:

一拼: 拼谁最能‘视而不见’，‘充耳不闻’, 不理民生, 民怨问题，但是最計前嫌!

二拼: 拼谁最“內斗內行，外斗外行”!

三拼: 拼那一时代的馬華最乱!

冰冻三尺非一日之寒，馬華正面對多事之秋, 還要忙着红包的爭論,有必要吗???

讓人说说幾句, 馬華就會崩潰，瓦解了? 難道瘋狗咬你一口, 你非咬它一口不可?

馬華不是企業聚團, 不是投資公司, 不靠捐款, 哪裡有錢支撐總部的日常開支、援助華社? 事實上, 馬華通過收取捐款已在教育，慈善方面幫了華社很多!

只要有發出收據，記錄齊全, 有公信力, 何懼之有?

口水战应当适可而止,共勉之。

感恩。

領袖們, 你們能做到!?

2009-09-09T23:29:00.000+08:00

看看昨日某報的內頁新聞, 感到汗顏。看! 人家是多么有良知、有勇气, 充滿高尚品德及问责的精神! 而我们的領袖, 有很多是权力狂、充滿霸气、刚愎自用, 也喜愛搞个人英雄主义及滥用权力。真希望我们的領袖能謹慎的、睿智的及有透明度的處理事物, 也多培養公信力及团队精神。

你們不姑息养奸,才能使华社的領袖謙虛、忠誠及清廉。感恩。

聖雄甘地說過:

你的信念成為你的思想
你的思想成為你的話語
你的話語成為你的行動
你的行動成為你的習慣
你的習慣成為你的價值觀
你的價值觀成為你的命運

共勉之!

再吵, 再吵, 大家長生氣了!?

2009-09-07T16:29:00.000+08:00

看看今天某報的頭版, 感到心寒。

真希望這事不會發生!

求求你們, 不要再爭, 不要再鬥了!!!

替华社多做一點事, 可以吗? 能夠吗???

中央代表们, 請你們好好利用手中的一票!

備注:

小弟只受過六年華小教育。由中學、大學、直碩士班、

都是受英文教育。自認不敢忘本, 第一次用華文書寫。

不足及不通之處、请大家多多見諒, 也不吝指教。

感恩。

CONGRATULATIONS, MINISTER OF HEALTH!!!

2009-09-06T14:13:00.000+08:00

Congratulations, Minister of Health.

For the last couple of days, we noticed that you have at least, I dare not use the word finally because you may recur your mistakes intentionally or unintentionally, tried to refrain from attending the road shows organized by the chief. I iterate, your immediate boss is our beloved PM, and your bosses at large are the Rakyat of Malaysia!

You are still very young and if we are not mistaken, you are in the mid 40s. You still have a very far way to go, your political arena is full of blessings, if you treasure what you have now, but please remember all these blessings are from the Rakyat and from your sifu Lim AL. Lim AL is a very capable man. He had done a lot for the Rakyat and the nation. I recall an incident when there was a by-election in Pahang some time ago. The MB of Pahang earnestly requested Lim AL to help in campaigning even though that state constituency was for Gerakan. Lim AL rushed to that place after visiting a place where houses were burnt down (I think it was his constituency area) without going back home first. Can you remember how many days and nights your beloved sifu had been away from his house? Could you recall that the MB of Pahang made use of this sentiment and he uttered that “with Lim AL around, there is no worry of the by-election!” Consequently, the by-election was a great victory for BN. Can you remember that his mother was hospitalized then and he only went back to meet the mother after the by-election was over? Would you do that? Could you sacrifice not for your own interest only? Lim AL was an excellent State Exco and a good Minister of Labour (sorry I can’t use the word excellent for his performance in the ministry post as Dr. Fong had done much more and laid excellent work for the next minister who took over). This is the type of leader we Chinese in particular, especially those in the country sides, and the whole Rakyat in general, look for! Could you, and would you, follow what had been laid down by your sifu Lim AL as a politician? You were Lim AL's political secretary before, you know very well that he worked with his heart! He cared for all the Rakyat, irrespective of their dialects (not like the present one who cares much more of his own dialects!) and ethnicities. He was never selfish, except one thing: He insisted the parliamentary constituency he vacated must be passed to you (so you ought to follow his good practices!) and the ministry post must be given to Tan KC which later became one of the reasons for the occurring of the previous tremor and crisis in MCA, sigh! (We still can tolerate his actions for these two cases, after all he is still a human being who cannot run away from the weak point by choosing his own favourites.) I am sure you will know why Rayat, of all ethnic groups, still has him vivid in their minds!

You did a good job to help the SJKC which you had spent 6 years of primary school life by giving a handsome sum, but this is not enough. I am sure your village folks, your teachers and your schoolmates want to feel proud of you forever: the First Chinese Minister (an excellent and performing minister NOT a non-performing minister) produced by the village and the school! Congratulations again, you had created an excellent RECORD in the village and the school for the younger generations to follow! You need to help them to stand upright in front of every one and be proud of you forever! Your good name will remain as a legacy in the village and the school forever!

We hope you will really follow the KPIs set by our beloved PM. Please ask your secretaries to help you to memorize all the GOs, Rules & Regulations that govern all civil servants and cabinet members, apart from the DOs and DON’Ts. Please have more visits to hospitals and community polyclinics, check on the medical staff more frequently and avoid complaints against hospitals (like the case an MO was reading newspaper in a KL hospital. Please bear in mind, there is NOT even a second of free time during the working hours. The Hospital Director was WRONG to say that the MO made use of a few minutes reading newspaper while waiting for other patients to come in! To rectify this, you must apprehend GOs well !!!) from happening. Give your medical staff stronger supports as they are the front liners and I am sure patients who frequent hospitals also would like to meet you and forward complaints, if there are, directly to you when you are around. We are looking forward to have a selfless and excellent minister soon.

Congratulations again for doing things good for the Rakyat and the nation! (Dr. Wee was right in not following the road shows for many times.) Why should we bother criticisms from bloggers saying that you didn’t show your face in the road shows? Bear in mind, KPI by a Minister of Health for the Rakyat and our beloved homeland Malaysia is more paramount than the party issues.

DO YOU LIKE FIXED SET OF MENU?

2009-09-05T15:44:00.000+08:00

菜單, 菜單, 我愛你!?

Many of the so-called fixed sets of ‘menu’ have evolved as byproducts of the previous and recent MCA tremors and crisises. This is nothing sensational. Fixed set of menu has been largely regarded as a legacy not only in any political party in particular but in most of the organizations at large. Looking at the present trend of the AGMs of most of the Chinese-based NGOs, which one does not have fixed sets of menu? So, proposing fixed sets of menu for the coming EGM to be held by MCA is not astonishing at all. I see no reason why there are so much write ups to comment on this and people involved are so scared to admit that they are the ones to fix the menu?

Talking about the fixed set of menu, it reminds me of what happened before the last Chinese New Year (CNY). Let us digress from the fixed set of menu for political parties or NGOs a little moment.

My wife and I planned to have a family dinner in a restaurant during the third day of the CNY. As usual, we can foresee that the restaurant would be full house and there could be scheduled hours for dinning. Any how, we proceeded with the planning and we were told to choose certain fixed sets of menu available. During CNY, the restaurant manager refused to let you choose your own menu! I was not keen in fixed menu as the set might not suit our taste. My children were not as fussy as me, they told me to accept.

On the dinning day, fair enough the restaurant was crowded, but we had to be in a fast pace to take our dinner because the dishes were out one after another before we could enjoy! As I had expected, the dishes were badly cooked, and none of us enjoy the dinner.

Back to a fixed set of menu for the political parties or the NGOs, will it be good?

There are lots of variants and rumours about the fixed sets of ‘menu’ for the next line up of MCA, such as “廖江”配 , “江廖”配, “廖魏”配 etc, but don’t you think all these are too 'raw' in the cabinet and they could be bullied by senior ministers from other parties? Moreover, Liow has not yet performed well as a Minister of Health. The medical officers need his moral support very much! They are waiting for his regular visits to hospitals and clinics and not at the MCA premises!!!However, there is a speculation for the lady as a break through to be the first lady president of MCA! Thus far, no one has ever mentioned Dr. Fong who had been the best Minister of Labour . I certainly support him, as during his time as a Minister of Labour, he had done a lot for the Chinese communities. Similarly, Tan Seri Ong KT who had also contributed a lot when he was the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs and as Minister of Housing and Local Government. Hope other ministers and deputy ministers representing MCA now or to come will leave party matters aside and strive for the Chinese community in particular and the beloved nation in general. please leave some legacies in the ministries held by all of you before you step down!

From my little experience in the restaurant, fixed set of menu seems to be bad. In the last year’s MCA AGM, the usual practice of fixed set of Menu by MCA top liners was no more favourable. I was more than delighted and having high hope when the central representatives fully exercised their rights not to choose every ‘dish’ from the fixed set but to choose capable people, consisting of veteran(senior), middle-aged (experienced) and the youngs (full of enthusiasm). The Chinese community at large too was having high hope that there would be a big turnover of MCA to do good work for the Chinese in particular and the nation in general, as the central representatives were so mature and forgiving that Dr. Chua was given a chance again in view of his good services and track records despite his sex scandal and OTK who was named a ‘flow of fresh stream’ single lonely man was also chosen. To many people, the new line up, 翁蔡配, was a sensational break through. The new line up which was chosen out of blue by the central representatives was named “蕹菜”配 by Dr. Wee KS and he praised them sky high after the results were announced! AS SUCH, THE CHOICE OF THE CENTRAL REPRESENTATIVES MUST BE RESPECTED !!!!!

‘Kangkong’ is a kind of green vegetable which is vigorous and can grow very easily at any place. It is full of vitamins and has become one of the most affordable and favourite dishes for the lower income group at large. In fact, it is a cheap and affordable dish to most people especially for those who live from hands to mouths but yet it can be a very delicious dish if the chef knows how to cook, by putting in some garlic to kill germs, a little ikan bilis, chilli and belacian. My wife does not like ‘kangkong’, she blames taking too much ‘kangkong’ will create ‘wind’ in the body. I like ‘kangkong’. I was brought up in a very poor family in a deserted village and my mother passed away when I was five years old. “Kangkong’ became a very regular dish on the dinning table, and I could get it free from the riversides. Consequently, due to emotional feelings and the sourly bitter memories of the younger days, I was praying hard the new line up would be able to refresh MCA and strive for the Chinese community and the nation, but at the end?

The dish 'kangkong’ was not cooked properly and maybe too much ‘belacian’ had been put in and it’s burnt now! Or could it be because the essential ingredient, garlic which can kill germs, was not put in? Bear in mind, ‘kangkong’ can only be by cooked by a good chef, it cannot be a cook itself. So is it the omen causing the downfall of this set of menu chosen by the central representatives?

It comes to a simple saying: A coin has two sides. Taking all the dishes in a Fixed Set of Menu is not advisable and may not suit your taste, choosing different dishes not from a fixed set of menu may end up the ‘dishes’ do not match due to a lot of factors, subsequently disasters follow! However, a decision still has to be made! How? All in all, whether the Chinese who are MCA or non-MCA members, they have only one simple but reasonable request to be fulfilled by all MCA central representatives: Choose leaders who are APPEASING and can serve Chinese community in particualr and the nation in genaral well!

I iterate, especially to the possible new line up:

THE CHOICE OF THE CENTRAL REPRESENTATIVES MUST BE RESPECTED !!!!!

WHO IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH?

2009-09-04T22:00:00.000+08:00

The MACC’s chiefs told the news reporters that OTK was called up to ‘help’ in the investigation of the donation of RM 10 Million to MCA by Tiong and not about the PKFZ issue which is too complicated and has deep effects. OTK’s aide said that he was called up to be a witness in the PKFZ issue, whereas OTK admitted he was called up to help in the PKFZ issue and the case reported by Tiong.

An interesting question arises here: Who is speaking the truth?

My answer is straight forward: Both are NOT telling lies technically!

MACC is right in the sense that PKFZ’s issue is far too complicated and precarious, so much so that the effects can be very alarming. Consequently, they are still waiting for the right time and directive to carry out thorough investigations. In order not to let the alliance party having loopholes to complain against MACC merely going after the opposition party members, they have been trying their best to do the work despite shortage of man power. Many of the BN component parties’ members have been called up other than the alliance parties’ members. Since the issue about Tiong’s donation of RM 10 Million is an internationally super ‘hot cake’ in the eyes of the public, and both parties had launched police reports, it is more advisable for MACC to take swift action. I personally believe that the MACC acts independently and righteously in this issue.

OTK is not cheating in this case! We must believe that he has high moral values and he is a holy man. By looking at the big Buddhist beads he wears on his wrist, we can conclude that he is very devoted to Buddhism, which will never allow him to violate any of the Five Precepts of Buddhism:

The Five Precepts

1. Panatipata Veramani Sikkhapadam Samadiyami
2. Adinnadana Veramani Sikkhapadam Samadiyami
3. Kamesu Micchacara Veramani Sikkhapadam Samadiyami
4. Musavada Veramani Sikkhapadam Samadiyami
5. Suramerayamajja Pamadatthana Veramani Sikkhapadam Samadiyami

Subsequently, he will never lie, he will never have unlawful sexual affair, he will never kill (so bloggers, please don’t use the Chinese word Dr. Chua was ‘slaughtered’, he was only ‘sacked’, haha, so the first precept is NOT violated by him!), he never takes things not belonging to him (so second precept again not violated), but if some one wants to give him voluntarily, what’s wrong of him receiving? He is the boss, he will never be involved in incorrect speeches because all his followers must listen to him, no one can say ‘NO’ to him, so you Sabahan MCA members dared to go against him? He only chased you out, but not scolded you, so the fourth precept is also not violated. No one has the proof he drinks or drank before. That Mr. Lau from Johore alleged him of taking alcohol in Taiwan without proof, that’s why he deserved to be suspended as MCA member. So, he is not violating the fifth precept as well. As such, he is a holy man that no one can deny what he says!

In this case, definitely he speaks the truth. Maybe the MACC could have one sole intention initially: only investigate Tiong’s allegation against him about the donation of RM 10 Million to MCA through him by cash. But there is some thing which is very absurd and incongruous, how can Tiong passed cash to him? Any donation to a political party must be by cheques under the name of the party so that the money can be accounted for. Don’t forget, he is a very good debater. He had thrashed Lim GE once in a trilingual debate. With his holy and innocent look and superb ability to table his facts, what is so difficult for him to relate the allegation to his investigation into the PKFZ’ misclaims? So the whole issue of investigating Tiong’s allegation against him becomes the explanation of the PKFZ as a major issue and allegation of the donation of RM 10 Million as a minor issue.

Consequently, a small inference here:

Both Are Not Telling Lies!

MINISTER OF HEALTH, FOLLOW PM’s KPI REQUIREMENTS, PLEASE …

2009-09-03T22:04:00.000+08:00

It has been quite some time many patients who frequent government hospitals are getting agonized, not just because of some poor service but because of lacking stock of medicine or medicine prescribed by doctors were not available and the pharmacist at the dispensary departments had to use their decision to substitute by some other medicine. Patients, even those old ‘ah ma’ and ‘ah pei’ who have problems in walking, were told to leave the contact numbers so that they can be contacted to go to hospitals to get the medicine prescribed when the stock is available. Is the Minister of Health aware that for some of these regular ‘visitors’ to hospitals, their medical prescriptions can be given for period of 2 or 3 months as their next appointment could be half a year later. I had this type of annoying and inflaming experience many times.

I would like to put forth some questions to our beloved young Minister of Health.

1. How often have you frequent the hospitals and community polyclinics since you had been

appointed this post?
2. Have you fulfilled the KPI requirement in visiting hospitals and community polyclinics?
3. Do you know that most of the medical staff are working under great tension especially during

this moment when A (H1N1) has caused 72 fatal cases?
4. How many times you have meetings with the Director General of Health and other top

medical officers in finding ways and solutions to curb the wild spread of the fatal disease?
5. How many times have you carried out spot checks on hospitals and community polyclinics?

(A must in KPI !!!)
6. How many times have you given moral support, advices and appraisals to the medical staff in

the hospitals and community polyclinics?
7. Why are there so many complaints against the private hospitals in Malaysia? Do you know the

difference in the work ethics of the private hospitals in Singapore compared to those in

Malaysia?
8. Do you know the working hours and schedules of the Minister of Health in other countries? Do

you know that especially during this moment, they were so tied down that they hardly have

time for personal and party matters?

Let me digress from the main issue a while, but not totally out from the issues of health. I visited a GH often. Basing on what I have heard from the medical staff and most people, I have come to certain inference. Bear with me if I am not very correct.

Besides his sex scandal, Dr. Chua with his superb knowledge in medicine and experience in administrative work (he was many years State Exco of Johore). He was very chary and sagacious at work. He was very particular in medical and administrative work in hospitals and according to most medical staff in government hospitals or departments, any project or work assigned had to be accomplished within the time frame given or even in a shorter period. They had to work on toes as he would have not only regular but unscheduled or rampant spot checks personally! Now, if your superior has a superb know-how and very meticulous in work and carries out spot check at any time, what would you do? As such he was named the BEST Minister of Health thus far by most medical staff and patients who frequent hospitals often. I think it's not easy to have such kind of minister any more, sigh!

Datuk Chua is a lawyer, I don't think he really knows much about medical stuff, but he was an excellent Minister of Health, simple reason: he worked with his heart. As most lawyers are very meticulous, he had this as a bonus to his work as a Minister of Health. If you were to find out from the medical staff and patients who frequent hospitals often, you will know that he was named the second best.

Back to our issues about KPI requirements to be followed by all civil servants and the ministers or deputy ministers, we will have a little discussion of what have been intentionally or unintentionally omitted.

I want to iterate that there are in general 3 main categories of Corruption being defined in the Anti-Corruption Acts:

1. Corruption of Money / Monetary Gain - receiving rewards or anything similar or letting familymembers or close relatives having monetary gains in approving projects or giving preferences etc.
2. Corruption of Power - Abusing the power by giving projects or giving preferences to any one having relations or allowing the facilities or premises to be used for personal or any close relation's personal interest; removing or expelling subordinates for personal gain / interest; promoting subordinates based on personal judgment or aiming to gain support etc.

3. Corruption of Time - late to work, leave working place early, use the official time for personal interest, not related to core work etc.

There are also GOs as working ethics to be obeyed by all civil servants and cabinet members! Under certain crucial moments, civil servants and cabinet members are 24 hours on call. They do not have private time at all, please bear this in mind!!!!! If we were to analyze properly, not necessary in details, we will find that so many of them are practically indulged only in party activities merely for their personal interest and gains, sigh! Please do not argue with me that there are many others (in other political parties) who do that. If you were to say such thing, then it is better you bite back the dog when a dog bites you!!!! What we need from the cabinet members is only a simple request, but NOT difficult to follow: be free from corruptions (any form defined above) and refrain from indulging in personal or party activities which do not bring benefit to Malaysians especially during this alarming stage with 72 fatal case, please, Minister of Health, 72 precious lives!!!!!

Our hearts are bleeding, we need to have a Minister of Health who only indulges in work and care for the health of the whole populace in Malaysia, please. No one will ever put a blame of the happening of A (H1N1) on you, it’s definitely not your fault. We Malaysians at large just want to make a simple sole request, remember it’s a simple request only, but actually it is your responsibility to shoulder, abstain from indulging too much time and energy in the party ‘battle’! We simple Malaysians want our Minister of Health to be with the people and stand side by side with the medical staff in the front line often, in battling against not only A (H1N1) but any disease, any difficulties at any time! I can see that some of the medical staff are not motivated and some are actually morally depressed because the top most person in the Ministry of Health seems not with them. Bear in mind, accountability is part of the instruments for measuring KPI !

A large portion of the Chinese community has been accusing civil servants being not performing, but I don’t agree. I have full confidence in government hospitals, and my four children were born safely in government hospitals. I used to tease my friends who had their children born in private hospitals yet facing problems and spending too much money! I saw with my own eyes the great change of the medical staff in the government hospitals during Dr. Chua SL’s time, but now? Sigh.

Ask you secretaries, especially the person who seems to know a lot, to read up all the GOs, Rules and Regulations governing the cabinet members, and summarize to you. We believe your road is still very long and your path is enlightened and is still not at the end, you can do much better than at present! Inspite of the unhappiness agonizing many patients, I still believe you can perform your duty well as a Minister of Health for all Malaysians, please remember for all Malaysians, regardless of their ethnicities. Please refrain from abusing time and government facilities for the benefit of the party; you are 24 hours on call by all Malaysians, not by MCA!

Remember, you are a cabinet member, your immediate boss is our beloved PM in particular, and the RAKYAT in general. 1 MALAYSIA !
