In my posting re: 'Kita Wants To Be The Main Opposition", I inadvertently typing ROC (Registrar of Companies) when I touched on the registration issue of Kita. It should be ROS (Registrar of Societies instead ... It's my inadvertent error & I apologise for that.
Moving on it was reported in NST @ 1/2/2011 at page 31 that Kazakhtan's constitutional council rejected a referendum to extend President Nursultan Nazarbayev's rule until 2020. Reason for the rejection is that it does not comply with the constitution...
Fine but it was reported in the TV3 8 o'clock news @ 2/2/2011 that the Kazakhstan's Parliament had passed a law paving the way for the 70 (Q: How old is Hosni Mubarak anyway?)year old President seeking a re election which would extremely be in his favour!! It's not a surprise as the Kazakhstan's House of Parliament has not even a single opposition seat - this is a truly "1 Kazakhstan" ....
The President had been in power for 20 years and the "rakyat" had only known and became accustomed to the one and only leader/President Nursultan since the independence from the Soviet Union.
Now is the year 2011 and by the 2020, what would happen to the uranium rich plus other industrial metals & oil Kazakhstan? .... What a pity!!!

Collapsed ceiling ... Oh No Not Again!!!!
It appears that there were so many interesting news reported in the NST @ 31 January 2011 .... One of which was regarding the collapsed ceiling at the main lobby of the Serdang Hospital on 30 January 2011.
The report appeared below the picture in the news said that "several Public Works Department personnel inspecting the collapsed ceiling ... " though the picture showed they were "talking" or is it "discussing" the issue after inspection? I am confused here as the picture showed a different thing altogether!!!
It was also reported that the incident was a first which has occurred since the hospital started operating in December 2005. To this, I could not argue as it might be the case but looking at things "globally" or rather "nation wide", collapsed of ceiling at Serdang hospital is not the first. The Court Complex experienced it on a number of occasions so as the august Parliament building!!!!
Moving forward.... another contractor(s) to be blacklisted? Let's wait - going by the rate of the "collapsed" incidents this country might be out of contractors soon ....
By the way, my eyes caught a large banner at the Main Lobby which actual readings were illegible but something on - "Ke Arah .... 3S. Pelancaran Program Amalan 3S, Jabatan .... Hospital Serdang" ....[Note: Anybody please help me with this "3S". Is it "Selamat, Sejahtera & Sihat"?]
My only hope is that this "Amalan 3S" has nothing - even remotely - connected to the unfortunate incident ....

"Kita Wants To Lead Opposition" @ NST 31/1/2011 pg 14
A short note on the above news report in today's NST ...
It was reported from Kuching, Sarawak that Datuk Zaid Ibrahim, the President of Parti Kesejahteraan Insan Tanah Air (Kita)said that the said party's aim is to become the country's main opposition party...
I would not comment on the typical politicians' remarks or snub against another fellow politician in the report as I am not interested in those games of theirs.
What I have to agree is when Datuk Zaid said - " What we want to do is to make the opposition meaningful, effective and active... In the long run, this is what the country needs...."
The above statement by him has my full support as I have always believe in a strong & effective opposition (be it from any side of the political leaning) is good as "check and balance" to the incumbent government of the day .... This is to ensure that no Bills/Acts/Laws are being "bull dozed" at the shortest time of debating at Parliament and the too frequent amendments to the Federal Constitution resulting it being "brain dead" ....
To Datuk Zaid, good luck to you and best wishes ... By the way, has the ROC OK Kita registration and/or matters related thereto?

Poor Tok Bakar Ismail of Kangar, Perlis
It's quite amusing but felt pity for an 85 year old Bakar Ismail who hails from Kampung Sungai Padang, Simpang Empat, Kangar, Perlis when I turned to page 14, NST (31 January 2011).
Judging by the picture of Tok Bakar who stood by his 70cc bike he bought 30 years ago, he could not be "judged" as a "Mat Rempit" or to put it politically correct terms as somebody who could beat the speed limit.
What happened was he was issued with traffic summons for speeding on a 500cc super bike that he does not own!!!! The best part was he was being caught speeding amongst others at Km6.2 of the North-South Expressway between KL and Seremban on 30 July at 1.53 PM - that's far way south mind you!!!!
In his own words, To Bakar used a "Mat Motor" lingo - ' There must be some confusion because the super bike's number plate is PV738, which is the same as the kapchai (Honda 70cc) that I bought from a friend 30 years ago". [Note: This Honda 70cc was also owned by Apak those days and trust me, it just could not speeding!!!!].
In the news report, Tok Bakar had been asked to write an appeal and to state his case to the Bukit Aman Traffic headquarters for the summons to be cancelled.
To Tok Bakar, I wish the matter could be settled soon & how I wish I could be on that Honda 70cc for a ride around the kampung ......

It"s By Elections Season ...
After the Galas by election, now Tenang a which is situated in the Segamat District becomes the household names. All this is because of the passing of the ADUN Tenang recently where the seat was declared vacant - not because of the reappearance of the 6.3 meter python which swallowed a medium 15 years ago at Felda Ledong, Tenang.
Every heads are now literally turned to Tenang - be it the politicians, the novice politicians or even the pseudo politicians... When I said politicians meaning they are pure political animal though I had a tough time of deriving at a conclusion of whether the recent visits by the YAB PM and the YAB DPM plus other Ministers (including the Wi Fi Minister)in their official capacity or as a politicians or as a "campaigner"!!! And mind you it's not even the nomination day at that point of the visits ... If it's in the official capacity then no offence under the Election Offences Act is committed then, I supposed!!!
How lucky Tenang is compared to the rest of the constituencies in Malaysia as suddenly everything is being literally "poured" there and "Kampung Wi Fi" become in existence in its abundance!!!! Looking it the other way, Tenang is now not so "tenang" anymore.
The next itinerary for these politicians would be Port Klang State seat though it might most probably becomes entangle with legal issues as to whether YB Badrul Hisham ( or is it ex YB?) is still the legal representative of the Port Klang folks despite the Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly declaring the seat as vacant due to its elected representative had been absent from the DUN sitting for 6 months...
Touching on Port Klang issue, I read somewhere in the NST a certain politician from a certain party criticising PR for their lack of capable candidate to represent the people of Port Klang - to be exact the comment was something like this - "this is what happened when a half past six candidate is being picked to represent the people ..." Ironically, Badrul Hisham quit PKR and joined UMNO in October 2010 ... He is definitely not a half past six candidate then!!!!
While in this by election season, just enjoy the instant developments poured in the constituencies concerned .... My only sympathy is of course to the Surau or Balai Raya which might be in a state of confusion because every time election is coming, somebody must come and "membuka Surau/Balai Raya Secara Rasminya" .... Is it not being "buka secara rasmi" before and years ago?
Happy voting Tenang folks including the mere 18 postal voters ...

A short Note To Ponder - "Stop being a Politician Be a Leader!!!"
I am compelled to write this short post due to the recent developments in our beloved country ... I do not have any specialties - like a degree/master in political science - in politics but I want to give my view on this issue.
Malaysia embraced a democratically elected representatives system - though I am quite sceptical of the system anyway - every four or five years in General Elections where registered voters cast their votes. This is the democratic cycle in Malaysia to simply put it ...
My concern is our elected representatives - from top to bottom be it from the duly elected Government (with a capital letter "G" signifying the peoples' role in "forming" the Government)or the other side of the fence are too busy politicking. Every issues are politicised or being "played up" out of proportion ... I guess we are quite familiar with the issues. Every damn politicians or the so called politicians would start lodging police reports or challenging each other for a debate!!!
Please wake up and do your work - be a leader because once you are elected by the people you are the Government of the people or elected representative of the people. so no more "Satu Lagi Projek Kerajaan Barisan Nasional" please!!! It should be read as "Satu Lagi Projek Kerajaan Malaysia" - just to name one example .... Please be matured politically at least ....
the conclusion to those politicians is - "Start being a True Leader not Politicians" at least for the term you had been elected. Once your term is over and the election is due then be a politician ....

New Dawn @ African Conttinent - People Movement
Since last month Tunisia is facing what had been dubbed as "Jasmine Revolution" ...The country especially its capital, Tunis is facing thousands of young protesters initially ignited by a fruit seller who set himself ablaze in protest of police abused.
Since then, President Ben Ali had left to Saudi and the interim government comprising of the old guard regime had collapsed or rather in shaky position. For the Tunisians, they have had enough of the old guard and wanted to start anew.
This Jasmine Revolution is seen as a "youth revolution" as half of Tunisians are below 25 is also supported by the trade unions and university students. These enfranchised youths had done what could not be done before i.e. ousting the old dictatorial regime.
The Tunisians Jasmine Revolution had since recent weeks spreads to other part of the African Continent such as Yemen, Algeria and Egypt. Except for Egypt & Algeria where there were reported sporadic protests before, Yemen's development is an interesting as it is seldom heard before - what more one of the protest leaders is a woman activist Tawakul Karman from an Islamist Party Islah.
The most worried party in this latest development - of course apart from the incumbent regimes in those countries - in the African continent is of course the United States - reasons? oil and the unfounded fear of the rising of Islamic movement ....
The other worrying part - as reported in the news - is that (especially in Tunisia) the youth revolution is about to be hijacked by professional politicians ... by the way since when politicians are professional?
Let's look and ponder at home ... our youths are busy "lepaking" at the shopping malls. The university students? well at least one college @ University Malaya managed to complete a "1 Malaysia" (anything else?) logo using thousands of straws ... Perhaps this is the direct effect of the recent report of Malaysia FDI rising by 401% ?
Till we meet again .....
