Ah June...

Last weekend's MCA general assembly and party election was a drama with alot of surprises and unexpected result.Ong Tee Keat won the President of MCA with a rather narrow margin than Og Ka Ting 3 years ago,while Dr Chua Soi Lek made a superb return to the power corridors of MCA by winning in a narrow margin over Ong Ka Chuan.

MCA General Assembly 2008

Tee Keat wins,but not a perfect one.

This time's MCA party election was quite intensely contested,with 76 candidates fighting over for 31 posts including the major posts of President,Deputy President,Vice Presidents and CCs.However,in MCA Youth and MCA Wanita was rather cool and calm,only a few posts were contested,and didn't caught much of my attention.

"MCA Wars: The return of Soi Lek" - Showing Now

From the overall results after the party election,only one post get my attention,not the Deputy President or what,it's the Deputy Secretary-General post in MCA Youth.The Deputy Secretary-General post in MCA Youth was a three corner fight,and Loh Chew June defeated Ewe Tuan Aik and another candidate with a narrow margin of nearly 200 votes.

This is Ah June

Who is Loh Chew June? Well,to be frank,I'm not quite close and know him alot.But he is one of the MCA Youth members or leaders that really leave a good impression for me.Unlike some other MCA Youth leaders who like to act around and think they are smarter.I think Chew June or rather called Ah June by himself,is a humble person who are able to do stuff instead of sleeping for the next 3 years of his term.

I first came to know Ah June 2 years ago when I attended a undergrads camp and forum in Kuala Kubu Bahru.That was when I first met with the then President of MCA Ong Ka Ting and we had a closed-door dialogue with him.I still recalled I asked Ong Ka Ting a few rather so called sensitive and incisive question,regarding the political monopoly of UMNO and unfair policy for the chinese primary schools.I still clearly remember Ong Ka Ting was stunned at first and the other MCA leaders infront were not looking so good on the face.But contrary,the participants who were mostly uni students gave a loud applause to my questions,and I saw Ah June was clapping his hands and seemed to agree to my statement.He is the only MCA leaders that seemed to clap and supported my statement.From that moment on,I remember this guy in my brain - Loh Chew June.

After months,I met with Ah June again in several forums and discussion sessions,I think he wouldn't know who am I as I'm just a "kelefeh" and nobody.But his active participations in forums and activities did impressed me.At the same time,I was known he also runs a youth organization under MCA Youth that was called Sunshine Youth.Soon after that,I knew he was the coordinator in arranging Malaysian volunteers to duty for the Beijing Olympics.

Anyhow,this is not a bodek or PLP blog to show my support on Ah June nor MCA.But from my point of view,chances must be given to the younger ones or talented ones to run the job no matter in the MCA or private sector.If no chances were given,they might not have the platform to show their talent and perform themselves.For instance,last weekend,MCA Youth delegates gave the chance Ah June after so many years working in the grassroot and Youth CC.Perhaps,his good track record and harworking earn him the support and chance given.

So,Ah June,you better work hard then!Grab the chance and show what you got!

I bang into someone's...

Just yesterday noon, I bang into someone's truck at the roadside.Actually,not really bang but collided at the side...

Okay,this is how it happened.I was searching parking in somewhere to go to the bank,and there is a truck,not the big one,but something like the truck that transport ice cube.This truck was parking illegally at the road side and caused the road become even more narrow,although it had been quite narrow before this.

I admit I was careless and made a mistake for taking a good look at the other side of my car.And while I was still busy looking for carpark,suddenly,"Bang",I saw the truck's right side was sticking at my car's left side,and crushed my side mirror.For god's sake,I was suddenly shocked and get my foot on the paddle and vroom away.Well,this caused my car to get a second hit and the back.

Soon after that,my car's back door at the left side were collided till it was opened,I went down trying to shut the door up.But at the same time,the Indian truck driver was there to inspect his truck.He yelled at me,"Truck saya OK,ini lu mia pasal ar!",and off he goes in his white truck,leaving me there still trying to shut my car door.

Okay,I even missed out the truck's plate number!Which nearly caused me being fined when I went to report to the police...

But the first thing that crossed my mind after settle the police report thingy and insurance claiming stuff,it's not to get a rest or take a break,but to buy 4D =)

Still too bad,it's not my day afterall,my numbers (which I bought my car registeration number and the date) didnt strike.Sigh

And below,is the "scars" on my beloved car...


It hurts.


...really hurts...


...terribly hurt...


Very very hurt...

It's just not my day...

Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri

Hi,guys,I think I had not been updating my blog for a long long time,since June when SAPP started the storm in Malaysian politics.Busy me,was bugged by my hectic studies and student club's stuff.Hope I have more time to blog like last time =(

For the past 3 months,alot has happened in Malaysia,the petrol price was lowered two times to make the voters happy and ease the tension among people.And not to forget,RPK,Teresa and a press reporter were arrested under ISA,till recently the UMNO power-transition-saga.The whole 3 months is full of drama,but I think the climax is yet to reach.

Anyway,before I could get my hands back to blogging again,I wish all Muslim readers and viewers - Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri and happy holidays.



For those who are going for Barisan Nasional MPs or Minister's open house,I think you can consider to wear these.

SAPP moved the first step...what's next?

Sabah Progressive Party(SAPP) had dropped a powerful bomb at Pak Lah's administration this morning,as the party president Yong Teck Lee announced two of it's MP will submit or support a no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister next Monday when Parliament sessions resumes.This will be the first no-confidence motion against the Prime Minister since independance.And I would regard this one of the most important political benchmark in our country's democracy history.

SAPP leaders after the announcement at the press conference.

During this moment of time,when the Pak Lah's administration is being rocked by unrest and disputes across the nation,from inside UMNO to the angry rakyat,and now he's being bombarded by one of it's BN counterpart,launching a fatal attack to force him to step down.This is a serious blow to Pak Lah,being haven't recovered from the disasterous election result and internal UMNO problems,so what's next for Pak Lah?

Pak Lah being checkmated.

There's no point of return for SAPP now,as SAPP is launching the attack straight towards Pak Lah,there's just two choices left - either Pak Lah is voted no-confidence in the Parliament and resign,or SAPP will have their ass kicked out from BN.

SAPP being the first party to react to the hoo-hah's of Anwar Ibrahim,had again proved that it's not simply a rumour that Pakatan Rakyat may form the next federal government before Hari Malaysia.Anwar kept saying he got the numbers of MPs who wanted to crossover,he would need at least 30 to do so.But,SAPP only have 2 MPs,people would ask - "Can this plan work out?" Well,I guess its not impossible.

President of SAPP,Yong Teck Lee,former chief minister of Sabah and also the mastermind of previous crossovers.

Please bear in mind,Yong Teck Lee was one of the leader of Sabah Unity Party(PBS) who planned the 1990 crossover where we saw PBS came out from BN and ruled Sabah in that year's election.And,also he was also the mastermind who crushed PBS in 1994 by organizing crossover of PBS stateassemblyman to BN and eventually helped BN to retain the power till now,in cooperation with the then Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.And from those previous record,it's not possible for Yong to work things out once again with the same person,Anwar Ibrahim.He did it before,and I think he may have the ability to do it again.We shall see that.

And I believe things might even progress faster than we have thought.There might be a second political tsunami striking Malaysia soon after 8th of March.As it was reported,while Pak Lah was in Kota Kinabalu to do some "last minute rescue"(apparently it failed) with the state BN leaders and MPs,some of the important MPs were no where to be seen such as the Kimanis MP Anifah Aman and Kalabakan MP Abdul Ghapur Salleh.Both of them were the candidates who rejected Pak Lah's administration to hold the post of deputy ministers.And Yong Teck Lee was on the absent list too.This is something interesting...

DAP being held and it's strength being limited by planned?

But at the same time,while Parti Keadilan Rakyat(PKR) was in joy and welcome SAPP's decision,Democratic Action Party(DAP) seemed not so happy about something.The exit and joining of some Sabah BN component party into Pakatan Rakyat would weaken their position in Sabah.And this would threaten DAP's progress in Sabah to emerge as a strong party and expand their political map.Quiting BN and joining Pakatan Rakyat might be a "one stone killing two bird" plan by SAPP to maintain their political position in Sabah(to hold on DAP's strength) and at the same time doing something for the sake of Sabahans and Malaysian(changing the federal governemnt).Well,why not?

Well,back to reality,whether will the no-confidence motion will be accepted by the Speaker of Parliament,this is still a question to be answered.Who will table the motion and how much no-confidence votes will be voted? And will other Sabah political parties such as PBS,LDP and UPKO etc follow the steps of SAPP to quit BN?

Insider told me that Khairy was flying to Sabah as well,trying to solve the problem for his father in law.And at the same time,Anwar will be in Sabah in the weekend to give some keynote speech or perhaps announcement?

What's next?

Expensive and high class dinner...

"Dear,do you love me?"

"Of course,I love you,my sweetheart."

"Then,why don't you bring me to some expensive or high class restaurant for dinner?"

"Yea,I did,sweetheart."

"Where got? You didn't!"

"Chill,sweetheart,I thought we went yesterday?"

"Huh? We went for dinner yesterday only at thehawker stall at the roadside,where got high class wor? And all the food also cheap cheap only."

"Sweetheart,we went to fill in petrol for our car and spent RM140 for the petrol.Still not expensive and high class enough ar?"

---------------------------------------------------------

This is one of the implications after 4th of June,when the petrol had gone up 41% or 78 cents per litre. So,it's better to settle your meal at your nearest mamak stall or cook Maggi mee at home nowadays.

It had been nearly two weeks after the fuel hike.Had you felt the pressure and the wave of General Erection?

Midnight Rush

Are you part in the midnight rush on that night to fill up your tanks?

What to rush? After a week or two, you still have to pat for RM2.70 per litre.Aiyoyo...

While Petronas enjoy profit around 800 billion Ringgit,and the government gets around 300 billion to 400 billion Ringgit of tax pay from Petronas.We are suffering from massive price hike ranging from petrol to toilet roll and Maggi mee...

The rakyat is the bos of the country. While the government is just the employee. When the boss is not happy with his employee because they demand too much salary but doing a horrible job,just fire them! And hire a new employee which requires a lower salary but might deliver a better job!

General Erection....again....

After the 12th General Election on 8th of March,here comes another wave of General Erection.

Filling petrol nowadays is just like burning money in the car.

Petrol - New price=RM2.70 ,78cents (40.3%) hike from previous rate.
Diesel - New price=rm2.58 ,RM1 (63.3%) hike from previos rate.
Electricity - Household rate=Approx 18% hike, Comercial and Industrial rate=Approx 26% hike.

This is just the first wave...I bet the second wave is coming soon.As petrol and diesel rate on the hike,this will cause another chain reaction on the price of all daily products and utilities,ranging from food to building material etc.


Show me my money!

At the same time,the government had decided to go on with a new policy,to give rebate or subsidy to certain automobile owners.For car owners which his/her car's cc is under 2000cc,the government will give a RM625 rebate and for motorcyclist with motorcycle below 250cc,a rebate of RM150 will be given.

It's going up all the time!

This is already the FIFTH time the price of petrol is being adjusted(raised) since Pak Lah took office.However,the rakyat are still quite shocked and confused with the new system and policy.Despite the so called rebate/subsidy system,the rakyat is still unhappy with it,as the inflation rate might reach a new high of 5% this year,which will eventually burden the rakyat more.

The anger and unhappiness of the rakyat is building up.Shall we see another Tsunami due to this "quake" soon? Let us just wait and see. Perhaps,we'll have the answer before 16th of Sepetember.
