"Bolanliap" is a typical hokkien expression, when a layman in my beloved home state, Penang was asked "what are you doing here". For anyone who is not well verse in this beautiful dialect, "Bo" means "no" or "dun have", "lan" means "balls", "liap" means "to play". So "bolanliap" means "no balls to play". Since almost everyone, men or gals certainly got some balls to play with, "bolanliap" means u are really bored!

It has all the ingredients to become a great party. Cool Joint, Gorgeous gals, "Suave guys", "many bloggers" and free flow of Fine Cognac all night long. Entertainment was provided by 3 groups namely, "Until June", "Dey" and "Shayne Ward" The queue is long so patience is needed. Internet pre-registeration is advisable if you want to have a nice spot inside.

The highlights of the night is definitely the smooth Cognac of Hennessy! I sincerely hope Hennessy will able to capture the imagination of the current crop of young clubbers by opening their senses to fine brandy. Hennessy defintely has a lot of catch up to do when compare to the Whiskey bandwagon. hopefully thru this Artistry event, it will eventually translate into more bottles opened in the dance club scene.
I read with rage that our heartless government is forcing Jane to attend National Service later this year while her brother, who attend the similar National Service Camp earlier died from an illness, which believe to be contracted during his days at the camp.
How can our government says that " nothing could be done " to exempt her from the service? Our government is so cold blooded towards Jane parents. I want to ask: "Is there any children from our Minister attending this NS"
If any of you can remember this show "Saving Private Ryan", The US government goes all the way to German to bring back the last son of a family. While in Malaysia, our in-humane government officer tells the family," If Jane come to NS and die here, Too bad lah"

Or do both like what i am planned to do. The letters may or may not reach him, we need lots of leader to flood kamunting, this is the the least we can do.
RPK need our support to keep his fighting spirit high!
Everyone loves seafood. Go to the street and ask a person for his/her favourite seafood place. I bet he/she can give you a few places. It is a very high chance "Teluk Gong" will be in their list. But is "Teluk Gong" really that good and cheap as well? I've been there twice, patronizing a place call "coconut garden" or "yeh fa yuen" i found most of their offerings "so, so" nia, some dish are passable as mediocre but some dish(cooking method, nothing wrong with the poor fish) are outright horrible! There was once we ordered a "teochew steam Red Snapper", the soup/gravy of the dish is made from vinegar!! you can taste the sourish bitterness of a typical white rice vinegar in the dish. What the hell is vinegar doing in a "teochew steam" If the chef thought, the sourish taste of a teochew style came from vinegar, he is really Noob. I can give him cooking lesson!
At one time, Teluk Gong seafood joint also came under not so favorable limelight, being the notorious robbery stint sometime ago, the place also not so well accessed by roads and dimly lit all the way in, "Teluk Gong" was strike out from my seafood joint list.
After "banning" that place for years, i was convinced to give this place another chance by one of my "tu kau" contractor friend. This restaurant was called Yong Tat seafood.
Three of us went there on the 24th, last Wednesday. Since this place is not located at the usual seafood restaurant cluster at Teluk Gong, we are kinda lost as this place is way inside Teluk Gong(after the Teluk Gong interchange from the main road, straight in, you will see the restaurant on your left hand side), after passing a few malay kampung, we finally reach our destination. This place is rumors to be frequented by all the "tu kau" contractor in their big 4WD, and yes, you always see a few of this fuel guzzler parking outside the restaurant.
The place is kinda empty since this a weekday, a bit late too, around 830pm. Parking is not a problem. Since wifey complained that her tummy already started to protest, we went into top gear when ordering fOooooood.
We order: 1. lala fried meehoon(you have too since this is Klang) 2. Lala(kepah) in Kung Po style 3. Steam Mantis Prawn 4. Steam red snapper in Soya sauce 5. stirred fried local "sawi or choi sum"
Drinks: 1. Fresh coconut(local ones) x 2 2. Beer Harimau(big) x 2 bttl The Food arrive soon(I dun even have the chance to finish my plate of peanut), since the place is quite empty.
The lala fried meehoon is good, with lots of lala and not so oily meehon, we whack it like no tomorrow because it is the first dish to come..hahahah, it was follow by the lala(kepah). To our surprise, this is not the "kung Po" style that we expected but rather a "kam heong" style of cooking. We are not complaining since it is still taste good, the glorious lala is so fresh and meaty!
This was follow by the Steamed Mantis prawn and the Steam fish. The mantis Prawn is the medium size type but it is still fleshy. This mantis prawn is the "wild type" compare to the "reared type". I cannot confirm this but in some "more commercialized" seafood restaurant, their mantis prawn color look a bit different(I notice this during my last time in Lala Chong, they have lived Mantis prawn last time). This mantis prawn is GOooood, the last time i have such a good mantis prawn is in Bukit Tambun, Penang, donkey years ago.
The Steam red snapper is no disappointment too. during order, I was glad to hear the "si tau por" say that we are getting only the back portion of the fish only. Meaning this fish is a big fish catch from "wild at sea" instead of sourcing from fish farms. The fish is steams just nice and the meat is so fresh that it can be peeled off slice by slice. Being a big fish, the skin of the fish is slightly oily and it taste so rich and sweet. Wild seafood is the way to go.....
The stirred fried "sawi" is a bit disappointing. I always like local "Sawi" compare to the Hongkong variety, as it is cheaper and more rich in flavor, compare to the Hongkong type which is more bland. Unfortunately, it is difficult to get real good local "sawi" as it tend to taste a bit "bitterish" at times.(Tesco can buy real good "SAWI jepun aka KL choi sum" and cheap too. some of Our Choi sum taste a bit bitter but we finish it anyway..hahaah...hungry ghost in action.
So what is the damage? 1. Mantis Prawn - RM 18.00 2.Steam Snapper - RM 28.00(so cheaaapp) 3.Lala - RM 13.00 4.lala meehoon - RM 7.00 5.Choi sum - RM 5.00
Drinks: 1. Kelapa x 2 =RM 7.00 2. Tiger big bottl x 2 = RM 25.80
Misc: 1. White rice(big)(thai fragrant rice) x 3 = RM 3.00 2. Peanuts =RM 1.50
Total damage : RM108.30(not bad, considering that for food only, it cost only RM 75.50 for 3 persons.
Well this place live up to the "Teluk Gong" seafood hype, which is "Fresh, Cheap and Good"
I will definitely entered this place into my favourite seafood restaurant list, will you?
P/S restautant can be contacted by calling Tel: Kosong tiga-31341167.(since it is quite far, better call before you go)
I have been staying in Kota Kemuning for the past 5 years now. From the first day i move in to this township, my quest for good food around this area went into top gear. Food to a Penangite is "very important" I bet you heard so many Penangite first step in to KL and they will complain "aiyeh...kl food beh chiak one"
How true is that statement! Since Kota Kemuning is so isolated on its own, being the nearest place with food options is in Subang Jaya(forget about Shah Alam la...the food here is so pathetic) or Klang, its been many torturing years before a "proper" tasting restaurant open his door in KK. The first one is "ta shu Sia"(literally it translated to "under the big tree") Bak kut Teh. This BKT shop is above average and they serve a variety of other dishes too during lunch time. But everyday BKT will make you looks like the main ingredient of the dish. not very healthy i would say.
Later a small restaurant comes to our quiet township(4 years after i move in..sigh!). It is call "OCEAN POINT RESTAURANT". This joint serve mainly seafood base dishes...
oh mine...the seafood is so fresh even you dun see all the fishes swimming in the tank. They have locally"tangkap" seafood most of the day and i really respect their seafood source!
Make sure you ask for what is "in" today before ordering. the seafood is simple stuff(no 7 stars groupa, mice/mouse groupa or sou mei kind of stuff, but they do have locally tangkap fish like "bawal hitam" "red snapper or OR tiam(black spot), and the small part(Phi).
the seafood is so fresh that u even can steam "bawal hitam" u try to order steam "bawal hitam" in other restaurant and see what is the respond! Steam Pari is also one of the must order.
Dishes i highly recommend : "steam fish with soya sauces(any fish will do, but i highly recommend the pari), the "ham hiong" dishes(meat or seafood cook in salted egg), their homemade fishballs and "yeong fu chuk" "yu tau mi" comes with 3 type of soup base.
be daring to try out their dishes and reccomendation too...i bet you wont be dissapointed.
I will try to take some photo of the dishes next time i patronised this restaurant again.
yes, this is my favourite seafood joint, right in the heart of KK.
RPK finally being sent to Kamunting, a vision which our noble hero already anticipated. RPK sacrificed his own well being for the sake of Malaysian future.
While his finally had to bear with this sad consequences, most malaysian still sitting in their arm chair criticizing the government in the internet, hiding behind an anonymous name.
a good example is the M2day reader, millions of hit per day but only 20 000++ signature on the Free RPK petition??? "@@#$$%^^&4#@x@#$%..."
I am not proud to be a Malaysian, especially a Chinese in particular, because we are damn blardy "kay bo" or kiasi. I dun expect any normal odinary malaysian to take up their kitchen chopper and went to the street screaming "cham ar" or something similar to it. But a peaceful Malaysian must be able to speak out in a civilised manner. We can show support by attending solidarity gathering, sign online petition, write to their MP etc.
but most of the time when i go invite people to sign online petition, once they know that they have to put their IC number in the petition, they chicken out. I also try to invite friends to join me to peaceful rally once in KJ stadium, many will reply "aiyeh...later got riot, 513, get detain under ISA" damn "cibai" these people...
these malaysian are more pengecut than our Namewee. You all think so easy to get into Kamunting eh? If the government want to detain us into ISA, than let it be, detain everyone of us into ISA, when 100 000 of malaysian want to go to ISA. see whether Kamunting have enough space for us or not!
I also want to salute other malaysian who are willing to "show up" in these gathering, supporting peaceful event. We need to get together, unity is power!
We need more RPK, we need more people to speak up!
RPK, you hang on there, the rakyat will make sure the 2 years will be a short one.
Another cave men reported through Bernama that "his" ministry will wait for the report before taking actions against radio 24. Radio24 landed in hot soup after it ran an interactive show title : "Which is more important, the transition of power from Pak Lah (Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi) to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak or a reduction in the fuel price?" this cavemen also mentioned that "If you do not agree with government policies, don't be a government employee. Resign," he said.
I really hate myself for missing that show, it is surely hilarious to know that every tom, dick & Harry calling the station dun give a hoot about the power transition in UMNO. who give a damn about the power transition, a useless sleepy head passing the mantle to a Mr commission(submarine anyone?)? All the rakyat cares is how the government is going to turn around our country's ailling economy. Unfortunately the current government are not interested in "the sufferings" of the common rakyat. Most of the "Tai Kor" in the government are filthy rich, with enuf money to last 3 generations.
Yes, the cavemen is rumbling because most of the caller are more concerned about the petrol price. the rakyat demand to know why the pump price is still high since the price per barrel has dropped to USD91.00? and yes only Pakatan Rakyat can help the rakyat now, the transition of power from BN to PR is more important to the rakyat. PR in power, tomorrow the pump price will fall!
and a final note to the cavemen, since when the civil servant worked for the government, he/she served the rakyat! even you too, you moron! and please change you ministry from Information Ministry to Propaganda Ministry. the latter are more suitable.
I think almost everybody who frequently read alternative media in the cyberspace already known that Pak Lah will not last longer than 9th October 2008, the poor sod most probaly have to step down at an much earlier date.
For a country leader to step down, it has to be done "gracefully". More sandiwara coming up!
Pak lah also busy negotiating the future of his "beruk" SIL in UMNO in return for him to go.
Or Pak Lah can go for broke, by granting PR the emergency parliment session next week!
Pak Lah...oh... Pak Lah, please for once do something right and go down in malaysian history as the gentlemen PM who created the first ever 2 political party democracy system in Malaysia. you will be known as the real PM who championed democracy. Your legacy will be forever remembered. Please do not go down as the most useless PM in Malaysia, you will not get a Tun for that....
Dr Koh is in his own element again, talking cock and nonsense.
Hello! please dun tell us stuff that we already know la, tell us something new la. do not worry about SAPP la, SAPP is a grown up and can make good decision. please sit quietly and continue to become a lap dog to Bodowi.
And please do not talk as you are trying to lecture the government on how to treat Sabah and Sarawak, they dont give a fxxk about what you have in mind la..... put your own house in order first la. Now you are not even an elected president of Gerakan, so you do not speak on behalf of the party members. So after you manage to clinched your presidency, then you can talk.
Dr Koh, you are a disgrace to Penangite. Continue to be a dog, and continue to be a disgrace!
Malaysiakini reported that, our former PM/Dictator Aka Mahatiuuu...appealed to BN component party, namely MCA and Gerakan to join forces with him to toppled the current evil regime(read more here http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/89891)
BN only got MCA and Gerakan meh? What happen to MIC ar? Where is our macha Semi Value?
Do you all notice lately, no people, press, blog, politic parties mention anything about MIC anymore. The party already become totally irrelevant to Malaysia Politics? Ai yo yo...MIC "see liao?", "kua lou chan?"
Is is true that, our beloved dictator is giving hints that these 2 major BN component parties are at the brink of leaving the coalition, and his appeal is try to prevent these 2 party from jumping the sinking Titanic onto the lifeboats provided by PR?
time will tell. And i still hate MahatiUuuuuuuuuu..
PM had openly critisied DSAI for causing unrest to the country during a press conference this afternoon. DSAI actions, according to the PM, has cause the country to suffer tremendous loss in foreign investment, thus indirectly making the country unsafe. He will take "action" soon against DSAI. PM emphasised that whatever action he took will be the benefits of the "rakyat".
With the defence ministry under him, he will have big guns to play with.
I always have high regards to Dr Hsu. He is a rare gem in Gerakan, his posting always simple and truthful. he has posted in his blog:
The magical qualities of 916
COMMENTARY
By Hsu Dar Ren
Today is 916. So much has been said about 916, it has become a magical figure!
Whether there is any change of government today is really not that important. 916 has become a symbol and a hope for many Malaysians, a hope for change and a change for the better. 916 also embodies a realisation that race based politics is no longer practical in multiracial Malaysia.
More and more people feel that a more equal treatment of all races should be practised. Grossly unfair and unequal treatment in economic , academic as well as civil service have made racial polarisation worse. 51 years after Merdeka, the unequal practices have in fact impeded us and we are starting to see the degradation of many areas in our country.
Meritocracy is not practiced resulting in compromise of standards in universities, schools , civil services. NEP, whose original aims is to eradicate poverty irrespective of race, has been hijacked and skewed in in such a way that it has become the mother of all ills in the country,-,corruption, abuses , nepotism, cronyism.
While the “rats” used to hide under the tables and steal to eat, they have now emboldened to have come out onto the table and “eat” blatantly, even with plenty of onlookers looking at them. There is no more shame, to the extent that when a misdeed is reported, an “honourble’ can utter “please close one eye”.
A more equal policy that stresses on meritocracy is the only way to steer this country, which has all the potential to be a great nation, back to respectability again. It is the only way to steer the country toward the aim of becoming a developed nation. The only way to become a united nation.
916 has come to represent this hope to achieve all these.
Whether it can be realised today or a few days down the road, or even at the next election is no more important. It has succeeded in waking up the silent majority of the people, who have come to struggle side by side irrespective of race and religions, to fight for a fair and equal Malaysia.

"Abang, i am so happy today!" Rosmah says. "I want you to buy me an Airbus...no..no...i want a Boeing just like the old man buy for himself" Rosmah was so happy saying this while mimicking an aeroplane flying just like a kindergarden drop out. "So when we go sopping in palis, tokyu, Nuw Yok, no people will see us, so no more articles in Malaysia Today" she quipped.
"but, NO STOPPING AT MONGOLIA for you" She warned.
"Datuk Seri, Where is our new government" screamed the rakyat. I believed a lot of people also asking this question. "So, What happen PR? 916 has passed, and the Bodohwi and Najis still at the helm of the country!"
People, please be patient. Do not get disillusioned by this 916 date itself. This date has no actuall meaning except this date is Malaysia Day, a date set by the PR to give the rakyat hope and something to look forward too. This date is more significant to BN than to PR as this date gave them immense pressure, pushing them into defensive position. just refer to their "blur blur tour" to Taiwan prior to 916, ISA in action a week ago. All these happened due to 916!
And i believed PR has 116 MP in his bag, just look at 1 days after 916. 1 day after the PM received the MOU from PR, Sleepy head swap position with his deputy, Financed for Defence. It shows the BN is doing some politic moves as well. I feel more drastic action will be taken in the following weeks. Everyone, please sit tight and fastened your seat belt, more choppy rides ahead.
Although I would like to see an immediate change of government too, but we talking about changing "GOVERNMENT" here, not a handphone or your HP laptop to a MAC BOOK AIR. or upgrade your lousy proton to your favourite Honda. Power transition need to follow "procedures & protocol", we do not want our country to be destroyed or in chaos just because we have no patient.
Malaysiakini reported http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/89994 Our Ketua polis Ismail "something" warn the rakyat "ng tang luan luan kong wa"(dun spread rumors). He mention rumors about 916, PR grabbing power may cause kekecohan wor... people takut because got instability wor....
So, me and you are the rakyat, are you scared? kekecohan?? where lei? in UMNO perhaps?
This Ketua polis memang siao eh, he is the one "luan luan kong wa"...
Despite rumors and advice from friends saying tonight mass rally is not safe and bla..bla... who cares? If you want to be safe, just give our home minister a telephone call, he can invoke ISA on you, to protect you. Even you in ISA, Najis also can "C4" you la...
If we as normal "rakyat" do not chart out own destiny, who will? Flip- Flop Prime minister? Former Dictaor DR Mahathir? or the Oxford disgrace SIL?
So, see you guys tonight!Well, im still alive. nothing happen in the 915 rally, no police brutality. in fact i have not seen even a single policemen on duty near the stadium. Only the traffic issuing summon at the main road. People give a hoot about this RM 30 summons when they braved their life to witness the wind of change in their beloved country. All i see in the stadium is more than 10000 peaceful malaysian gather together to usher the new dawn in malaysia politics.I am glad that this time i saw more young malaysian chinese men and women joining this noble cause. I think the detention of Teresa Kok and RPK really inspired the younger lot.and my final word to all the "kiasi & Kiasu" who only bitch about the government during theit TT and in the forum hiding themself with a silly nick, "SHAME ON YOU"
Malaysiakini reported there are unscrupulous people trying to create havoc by putting up fake poster around KL city and Kampung Baru area asking people to participate in mass gathering to the palace. please be aeare that all these are action by the UMNO desperadoes.
Detail reporting are here : http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/89721
Home minister "botak" Hamid Albar told a news conference that ISA was used against the reporter Tan Hoon Cheng is for her own good. By putting her into ISA, she will be protected from "dangerous" elements. And by releasing her 20 hours later, has the police "eliminates" the danger?? I cant stop myself laughing at the phatetic excuse given by our Home minister. How can jou justified an action where you were scooped away for 20 hours, deprived of sleep and meal and away from you family, and all these are suppose to be for your own good health and safety!!!
The police should charged Ahmad Ismail with ISA instead, beacuse he is the real "menace" to our civil society.
Our home minister also mentioned that the police acted on their own, not because of orders by him or the government. If this is true, Malaysia is indeed a very dangerous country, personnel with guns and authority acted independently without following the orders of the government in power.
IMHO, the whole ISA was carried out with malicious intention, with Ahmad Ismail playing a main role in it. Remember that the few hours before Pak lah went into the Umno Supreme council meeting which meted out the punishment to Ahmad, both of them had a "meeting" before hand? i bet my last Ringgit that some sort of compromised has been agreed upon. After Ahmad Ismail was suspended, ISA was used against the reporter.
What does this scum want to achieved by arresting the reporter? Ahmad Ismail, being a racist in him, he try to incite hatred and anger of the local Chinese community at large in Penang, hopefully the anger will be stong enough to start a riot on the streets. If that happens, he and his gang of hooligans will have enough excuse to retaliate, creating chaos. Penang, being a chinese majority state with a close knitted community structure, news travel fast and he try to use this to his advantage.
Luckily, We Penang kia has grown up, we much more high class than this scum. Penang kia knows the trap that were set to trap them, and this scum failed misereably!
Penangite, I am very proud of you all! long live Penang! Hell to Ahmad Ismail!
At this time, i think everyone already knew that our corrupted government has use their last trick - ISA to subdue and stifled the rakyat voice. and i believed the rakyat is not going to keep quiet, WE REFUSED TO BE SILENT, WE ARE NOT MYAMAR.
I know everyone is angry, but anger will not help us this time. Stay cool is a must. We are so close now to toppled the rotten government, loosing our cool to give the authorities to impose emergency rule is just not worth it. Let us frustrate them a bit longer.

Monday, September 08, 2008 Antara pendatang dan penumpang
"Pada mulanya saya agak keberatan nak ulas kekecohan yang berpunca ekoran
daripada kenyataan ketua UMNO bahagian Bukit Bendera, Pulau Pinang bernama
Ahmad bin Ismail. Sama ada benar atau tidak apa yang didakwa dikatakan
olehnya mengenai rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina bukan persoalannya kerana
isu tersebut sudahpun merebak dan mengapi-apikan keadaan.
Jika tidak ditangani dengan cermat, teliti dan bijak, isu itu boleh
ditangguk dalam air yang keruh oleh anasir-anasir yang ingin melihat negara
ini hancur serta mengundang campur tangan kuasa asing. Dalam zaman dunia
tanpa sempadan dan liputan meluas dan segera oleh media elektronik
antarabangsa, apa yang berlaku di sesebuah negara itu tidak dapat disembunyi
atau dinafikan.
Isu pokok yang dibangkitkan oleh Ahmad Ismail membabitkan persoalan
"menumpang" iaitu rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina adalah penumpang di negara
ini. Beliau menjelaskan bahawa ia merujuk kepada zaman pra-Merdeka.
Bagaimanapun, sensitiviti rakyat Malaysia keturunan Cina telah terguris.
Saya tidak mengenali secara peribadi Ahmad Ismail, tetapi kenal agak rapat
dengan Allahyarham abangnya, Abdul Rahim Ismail, pemilik Syarikat Pembinaan
Rahim yang pada satu ketika dahulu agak terkenal sebagai sebuah firma
pembinaan Bumiputera yang unggul di Pulau Pinang. Saya tidak tahu apa dah
jadi dengan syarikat itu selepas Abdul Rahim meninggal dunia.
Secara peribadi, saya tidak setuju dengan apa yang didakwa dikata oleh Ahmad
Ismail atas beberapa sebab.
Bagi saya, hampir 90 peratus rakyat Malaysia, khususnya di Semenanjung,
adalah pendatang dan kita semua sebenarnya menumpang hidup di bumi Allah.
Kita bukan pemilik kekal tetapi hanya menumpang.
Sebagai contoh, saya sendiri adalah keturunan pendatang yang menumpang hidup
di bumi bertuah ini. Datuk nenek di sebelah bapa saya berhijrah dari Makkah
dan dari Brunei ke sini manakala di sebelah ibu pula dari Hadhramut, Yaman.
Kami adalah pendatang dan penumpang sama seperti hampir semua penduduk
negara ini khususnya di Pulau Pinang.
Bagi Ahmad Ismail, dia juga datang dari keluarga pendatang dan menumpang
hidup di negara ini. Ahmad Ismail tidak boleh menafikan hakikat bahawa datuk
neneknya adalah pendatang dari India untuk menerokai penghidupan yang lebih
baik dan selesa di bumi bertuah ini.
Perdana Menteri Abdullah bin Ahmad juga tergolong dalam kategori yang sama.
Datuknya di sebelah ibu adalah pendatang dari wilayah Guandong, China.
Pendek kata, datuk Pak Lah iaitu bapa Allahyarhamah Kailan bernama Hassan
Salleh atau Hah Su Chiang adalah seorang pendatang. Beliau berhijrah ke
Tanah Melayu dari wilayah Guandong (Kwantung) pada pertengahan abad ke-19
dan menetap di Bayan Lepas sebagai pekebun getah, pesawah padi dan kemudian
saudagar intan berlian.
Najib Tun Razak, Timbalan PM juga berasal daripada keluarga pendatang iaitu
dari Sulawesi, Indonesia atau lebih senang disebut orang Bugis manakala
sepupunya Hishamudin Hussein tidak terlepas daripada darah keturunan Turki.
Datuk nenek mantan PM Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad juga pendatang dari Kerala,
India manakala ibu Almarhum Tunku Abul Rahman berasal dari negeri Siam
(Thailand).
Kesultanan Melayu Melaka pun dibuka oleh orang pendatang dari Sumatra
bernama Parameswara, seorang anak raja atau bangsawan beragama Hindu.
Dalam sejarah kesultanan Melayu, kita dapati ada yang ditubuh oleh pendatang
dari Bugis dan ada pula dari Hadhramut selain dari Minangkabau.
Hampir semua orang Melayu di sini berasal dari luar Tanah Melayu tetapi
diiktiraf sebagai "bangsa Melayu" oleh Perlembagaan Persekutuan. Kita adalah
"Melayu mengikut takrifan Perlembagaan" iaitu beragama Islam, mengamalkan
adat resam Melayu dan bertutur dalam bahasa Melayu. Malangnya, bahasa Melayu
nampaknya dimatikan oleh orang Melayu (UMNO) sendiri apabila dinamakan
sebagai bahasa Malaysia.
Oleh itu, orang Arab seperti Syed Hamid Albar dan saya, orang Aceh seperti
Sanusi Junid, orang India seperti Kader Sheikh Fadzir dan Nor Mohamed
Yakcop, orang Bugis seperti Najib, orang Minang seperti Rais Yatim, orang
Jawa seperti Mohamad Rahmat dan yang lain seperti dari Madura, Pulau Boyan,
Siam, Burma, Yunnan (China) dan selatan Filipina dengan mudah boleh diiktirf
sebagai "Melayu".
Mereka diterima sebagai orang Melayu tidak kira sama ada mereka bertutur
bahasa Melayu atau tidak di rumah umpamanya si Arab berbahasa Arab, si Jawa
berbahasa Jawa dan si Minang berbahasa Minang atupun si Mamak berbahasa
Tamil.
Bahasa-bahasa yang disebut itu bukan bahasa Melayu dan jika dilihat dari
sudut Perlembagaan Persekutuan, tidak boleh diterima atau diiktiraf sebagai
bangsa Melayu. Walau bagaimanapun, atas kepentingan dan faktor politik,
semuanya diterima sebagai Melayu dan Bumiputera.
Oleh itu, adalah tidak adil untuk menuding jari kepada orang Cina yang juga
kaum pendatang sama seperti orang Arab, India, Aceh, Minang, Batak,
Mandailing, Jawa, Madura mahupun Bugis, sebagai menumpang di negeri ini.
Kita tidak boleh menafikan bahawa sebilangan besar datuk nenek orang Cina
telah berhijrah ke negeri ini semasa Kesultanan Melayu Melaka, bahkan
kesultanan-kesultanan terdahulu di Kedah mahupun Terengganu dan Kelantan
serta semasa Francis Light berjaya menipu Sultan Kedah untuk menduduki Pulau
Pinang pada 1786.
Kita adalah kaum pendatang yang menumpang hidup di negeri ini. Golongan yang
boleh diiktiraf sebagai orang asal atau anak bumi tulen adalah mereka yang
kita kenali sebagai Negrito, Jakun, Semang, Jahut, Orang Laut, Orang Darat,
Senoi dan suku kaum masyarakat Asli lain yang masih menjadi penghuni
belantara.
Kita tidak harus lupa akan sumbangan dan pengorbanan semua kaum dan suku
kaum untuk membangunkan Malaysia sama ada dari sudut ekonomi,
kemasyarakatan, keselamatan dan yang paling penting kesepakatan dan
perpaduan. Semua orang yang kena dan seharusnya membayar cukai, berbuat
demikian tanpa mengira kaum atau asal keturunan, sama ada pendatang atau
penumpang."
Please continue to support any business entity whether it is owned by Malays, Indian, Sikh or Cina ahpek, as long they are doing a legitimate business with good service. but i will support any boycott of a monopoly business.
Please do not simply forward any SMS you received. you maybe playing in to the trap lay by the Umno racist to start a state of emeegency! please filter thru the information you received with your head and do some research on it.
one good example is the recent SMS asking people to boycott certain shell petrol station. it is totally untrue!!! stop all this rumor mongering!
the mamak say Chinese are squatters! ya... we are squatters, so what?
Dr Botox say the selangor state government is trying to stop azan "broadcasting"
Well the countdown to 916 has begun, and everyone in "AMNO" is getting desperate.
the best way to deal with them, is to keep a cool head and ignored them. they can say whatever they like until they frothed in their stinking mouth, just do not respond. We dun talk to low class people.
Just let me recap the current state of affairs in our beloved country. One party is busy trying to capture the government on 916, another group of people(our law makers) is currently holidaying in Taiwan. the 916 party is trying to capture the holidaying group, while the media is chasing the holidaying group like paparazzi, is really resembled a game i use to play when im still a small boy, it is call "ping chook chak" or "the soldier or cops catching the thieves" i am sure every one tasted this really funny yet tiring game before.
and speaking about "soldier", top brass from the military recently gave a sweeping statement about current issues warning the military will "defend" the country against people who tried to fan racist sentiment in the country.
Thank you i would say to you, Mr Army top hat for your concern and also no thanks to your "offer". We have civil law and criminal law to dealt with people who fanned racist sentiment, the people do not need the military in the civil affairs, we are not Thailand. because once the army boys meddled in the country's politics, democracy is forever dead and so do our economy!
Recently, me and wifey encountered a nasty experience with our local LCCT taxi driver, an indian driver(im not racist by pointing out the race, im just stating the fact). this macha ask us to subsidise his toll for our trip. Please bear in mind that whatever fare we paid at the taxi counter, all toll charges are included. we refused and this macha feel irritated and try to intimidate us by giving us a terror ride. we finally alighted from the vehicle fearing for our safety, 6 km from our destination. the macha even challenged us to lodged a report against him.
If you encountered such arse hole such as this macha, please do not give in, as you will only encouraged him to repeat his action on to others. write a complaint letter to the LCCT taxi company(please keep your ticket, and note down his vehicle number), better still, sent them a lawyer letter, threaten to press charges, and ask for a refund. A successful refund means that arsehole will not get the monies due to him.
You must follow up your complaint with a letter to CVLB(Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board, LPKP-Lembaga Pelesenan Kenderaan Perdagangan) as this is the only authority which can put macha such as this out of the street. Contact details of LPKP can be found in this link(http://www.mecd.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=472&Itemid=111)
We, malaysians should complain more, we must fight for our rights. if we dun do that ourself, who will do it for us?
As an interim measure, im boycotting any taxi with an indian driver!
Why we should go for a holiday during low season. Pros, 1. You get everything 50% less. This include airfare, accomodation, meals, shopping, etc. 2. You basically reserve the whole poolside for your own, this include the poolside bar. 3. You can have the whole restaurant by yourself, which include the live band! 4. every beach you go is idyllic... 5. You get to enjoy extra fast service, means no queue or waiting time at your table. 6. No traffic, so very unlikely to caught in jam or met with an accident.
Cons, 1. You tend to meet a lot of your fellow malaysians.
RPK is indeed a noble man, sacrificing himself for the welfare of the people, speaking the truth without fear and favor. He may not able to see his beloved wife, son, grand children for quite some time. How many of us are willing to do that? and it is appalling to know some of my friends don't even vote!
if you are a non-voter in the 308 election, Shame on you! please revoke your citizenship and go back to where you came from.
I am very glad to hear a prominent politician has join PKR. Dr, Tan, now an Ex-Gerakan member, has many years of experience is public service as he is a former Deputy Minister. I hope what RPK say is true, RPK quoted "16 September 2008. That is Malaysia Day. That is also the day Anwar Ibrahim is supposed to take over the government. Today, some well-known personalities are joining Parti Keadilan Rakyat. From thereon, more are expected to follow, culminating in the final exodus of Barisan Nasional Members of Parliament.Stay tuned for the announcements to follow.?(http://mt.m2day.org/2008/content/view/12273/84/)
The recent hoo-haa regarding the jerk,Ahmad Ismail(or Ismail Ahmad? we shall refer him as the"jerk"for now), one of the Umnogoons really get my blood boiling. Seeing his "babi" face plastered on all the major newspaper really makes me puke! (sorry for insulting the cute porky)
I still remember, when i was still a kid, my mom always tell me"ah wai ar, dun uttered racist remark to other race, dun call them names, like babi, keling, tau si and so on, just call them fatty, shorty, ugly or just shoot out your well learn @#$$%^%$#X word you have mastered in the kopi tiam, or in worst case, gather a gang and just beat the shit out of him. uttering racist remark will hurt people feelings." my mother teachings drill into my shallow mind for the last 20 years or so, and i always believed this is the sacred true. she give me an impression that we, chinese was always the culprit, always making insensitive remarks to our malay & indian"brader" and thus offending them, taking away "opportunities" from our malay brader and bla...bla.., so we, have to "redeemed" ourselves by keeping our mouth shut and give way & kow tow to them...
MOM, you are blardy wrong this time around(most of the time you are "always" right), look at this jerk from our home town of Penang, a so call politic leader from the biggest politic party "UMNO"!The jerk say we are just the "squatters" here. and i realised now we are not the culprit, UMNO malays are the culprit, UMNO is the ones who always utter racist remarks to the chinese and our indian brader! for donkeys years.
Not only this jerk is racist, he is above the law too! he scared no one, because he know nothing will happen to him despite numerous police report make against him. His smirk on his face tell all " lei chui ar?", and now he is blaming the poor chinese reporter for reporting his rhetoric!!
We must put a stop to thisjerkantic and resist any racism politics in our country. May this jerk go to hell and burn forever is a roasting oven meant for "roast pork".... oink ...oink..
Any malaysian still haven't visited our country's "mega project-Twin tower" yet? If you are one of them, please get out your shell and get a life!
Petronas Twin Tower- our nation and "people" pride, or shall i put it the other way. Petronas Twin Tower - Our government's crony and "immigrant" pride.
Try visit da place in the weekend, gosh... is really a "metropolitan" you most probably manage to locate your runaway maid or lover at the central park!
since i am a malaysian and haven't visited the KLCC central park before, heck why not go there once! at least i came out from the shell and get a life. I avoid Sunday or public holiday, I hate my maid!
Since i am so "bolanliap", i "jump" into the world of DSLR photography, using my little knowledge in manipulating lights, i manage to capture some quite decent pictures. I deserved some handicapped in this area, since i am minor color blind. Dun Worry, i still can differentiate the color of a traffic light, is Red, Amber and White....
Ya..ya... i know i am a late comer in the blogging scence, so who cares, not you anyway. since i am so bolanliap today, hey! i might well start a blog to "tua say kang" or "big small river", to tell the world what my limited grey matter in my titanic head cooked up. So, whatever you read from here is entirely my own opinion, if you think is funny, you can laugh or make a mockery out of it. If you do not agree on what i have written, please feel free to leave a comment, if you are offended by things, rubbish, or whatever that i post, too bad...and please get lost...
well, nothing much to say about me. just a normal chap,"ah beng", or "tu kau", whatever you want to call me, shaking his balls in the state of Selangor looking for food, gals, club or everything seems interesting to poke my nose around
