So when officials comes visiting!!
Today I was very amused. I saw some DBKL officials (operations dept) at Jalan Solaris doing some clean up.
They were clearing all the ‘nasi lemak’ stalls from the roadside at Mont Kiara. I couldn’t help it; I stopped my car, got down to speak to the officer. I had a complaint too.
You see where I live; the side road is a mess! I hardly see the Alam Flora people clean up (cos it’s under their jurisdiction – under DBKL) Rubbish thrown everywhere and scattered on the 5 foot way. At one time there was even a one-seater sofa set (I even remember the color – blue!) thrown there for the longest time ever!
Today I had to stop by and complaint; so I asked them what they were doing? He told me that this Dato’ Saravanan is coming to Mont Kiara and that’s why they were cleaning up! AH! So only when the official comes, they so gung-ho clean up! If not that place can be a pig-sty (rubbish dump) for all they care. A stone’s throw away- further down, there is kongsi of Indons leaving under the Sunrise Group. How about that?
That is another matter altogether la; as long as there’s construction there will be some kongsi of sorts.
The road along Mont Kiara (entrance to the Solaris area) has one too many pot-holes but hey nothing is ever done! Maybe with this big-shot coming, the roads can be re-paved?? How about it DBKL?
Aiyaaa, the fact when we complain officially (as we are paying our taxes) nothing happens and suddenly there’s one official joker coming, all the staff/workers of the state officials (like DBKL) will be seen doing their work!
How so Malaysia Boleh!!!!!

What's the Price for Peace?
Of late, many of us have been bombarded with questions, "Is Malaysia peaceful? Is Malaysia truly 1Malaysia? Hey, where's the unity in Malaysia?"
Many of these questions came from my foreign friends whom have read and seen the recent situation in Malaysia on TV news/papers. Now what am I to say? There I was, during my stay overseas, promoting my country and her beauty, her FOOD...(yea its mostly that also!) and mostly her friendly-natured people. HA! Like a slap, some of these people sneered remarks on the recent issue.
Now, as defense I said only ONE thing, Not all Five fingers are same, so in this incident, Not all Muslims are like that. I gave them the proverb, One rotten apple in the basket -business;
Enough said on this issue, so I ask you, whats the price one pays for PEACE? Can we have peace you think? PEACE ....is like a calm effect after a storm. Now Malaysia needs the PEACE to rebuilt its tarnished image. I read Malaysiakini and all its related articles and one article came to my attention. The opinion column "Let them win here, drop the Allah claim"
Yes that's PEACE, to be tolerant is to be able to compromise. Are we Malaysians ready to compromise? (Hmmm, maybe I should do a survey and find out!) So are we? Well I know I am ready. Ready to compromise for the sake of a peaceful environment, for the sake of the economic stability and more so for the sake of mental peace and not worried when we step out of our door, whats going to happen!
You won't believe it but during me recent trip to London I was actually uncomfortable in the Underground due to its attacks/bombing, I was waiting to get out of there and in the open area. Do we want that? I think not.
If both parties are head strong and stubborn in this case of the use of the word "Allah" we will soon be headed that way. Claims can be verified and dated but your faith cannot be shaken or misconstrued if the 'word' is wrongly text /context!
If the so-called Muslims (not all but a handful of rotten apples) are so adamant to lay claim for the said word, why not just give it to them? Are you going to loose your faith or become a weaker one as you are willing to let-go, to compromise, to be the better one?
This is my opinion.
The word.....holds no significant if you don't believe and have faith! ITS JUST A WORD!

What's the Worth of a Woman's Life?
How does one value their life? What’s the tag in your life?
Malaysiakini (and I am sure the other papers in Malaysia) were running the story of 'Seetha' the lady who committed suicide by drinking paraquat. She not only drank it but she also felt compelled to feed the same poison to her children. She succumbed to the poison on 18th November 2009.
What drove her to do this? Was she so dire in desperation for money for food, for a home to stay? No neither she was devastated that her younger brother died in a police shoot out (he was a gangster with a famous gang in Klang/Shah Alam). Where was her devastation when her brother had done cruel things to people during his gang raid days? Why hadn't she consoled her brother to go the right way (that’s if she knew what he was up to)?
What valued had she for her life and of her children's lives? They were so small and they couldn't go against what she asked them to do. All four of their ages are ranging from 9 to 3 years old. Now they will live a life of motherless, scorned by their relatives and the outcome could be good or bad (depending very much on the situation they will have to face).
I cannot begin to imagine what was in her mind when she was pouring poison for them to drink? Would you, could you? I suppose if you are in so heavy a depression you do things you are not aware of but to take one's life is so a courages thing. No coward does that! Sorry she is not a hero in my eye for what she did. (Forget the circumstances of why she did it!)
Anyway she is gone and lives moves on. The children will have to face the battle of their lives. My heart goes out for them though. Why did GOD give the right to a woman to bear the child and carry it 9 months? He could have easily given it to the Man no? He made women the tougher of the 2 humankind.
The value of her life? NIL - None because according to the papers, she couldn't bare to live her life without her brother. That’s what the parents said (it seems) and so there you go..that’s what she thought of her life. So her husband, her family and the rest...was NOTHING! Imagine that.
Then I got this email with the below article from a friend of mine. He forwarded this email, (timing apt!) as it’s about the plight of Muslim women in the European country for the Syariah Court ruling. Read on..(this the excerpt)
Joys of Muslim Women by Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child. Consummating the marriage by 9.
The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.
Even though a woman is abused she cannot obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her
(an honour killing) to restore the honour of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and he does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have (4 wives) and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.
In the West World ( America, UK, Australia, Canada etc.) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife cannot obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending Western Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.
By passing this on, enlightened Western women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.
Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.
But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.
In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.
For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world.
Now what the worth of their lives? I don't have any religious contentions here but only for the life of womankind. (Please don't read it wrong)
As for me I love my life and I thank god everyday he has given me and for his blessing on it too. Good or bad, I have learnt to embrace it and move on. My prayer today that GOD gives the strength to the women kind (humankind) to be strong and face what the future has for US (good or bad).
Have a lovely weekend!

Berlusconi.....
I read an interesting article of the man I have come to imagine as a 'she-devil'.
When you are in Italy and when you switch on the TV, you see nothing but half-naked women squeezed into tight-fitted clothes (or some barely) and contest shows throwing money like no business. The man behind these channels is none other than the 'she-devil'. I wondered how this man became so famous to be in politics. They say politics is synonymous to dirty money, women, power crazed shameless devils. Well looks like almost all the traits that the 'she devil' has.
One part awed and one part disgust overwhelms me whenever I see this man on tv. Well to add more fuel I came a cross this article in The Malaysian Insider provided by The Guardian today.
Read about the man himself here http://www2.themalaysianinsider.com/lite/articles.php?id=42012
Next time you visit Rome, don't forget to go by Piazza Venezia to check out the scenario. I sure am going to!!!
By the way, this show 'Il Grande Fratello'....... is truly a HIT with Italians.
Mamma mia cosa succeso ITALIA!!!

Tradition & Religion
Any religion in itself is a beautiful religion. However, the practise of any religion is tarnished by the said people themselves.
There are many hypocrites who go around preaching that they are holier than thou when they themselves are the ones who tarnish the beauty of their religion!
Don't go so far. I was Hindu by birth and now I am a Christian. I have been called a hyprocrite due to practising my tradition. Tradition is something I hold greater to my heart. Yes I am Indian, so I follow the Indian tradition. No law is there for forbidding you to practice a tradition.
Tradition and Religion are separate subjects. One should address them differently and always see them as such. They co-exists but are not ONE.
Right now, in Malaysia, we have been bombarded with matters of how the model and mum, Kartika will be caned for her not following her religion. She repented, she admited but on how the sentence shall be carried out is another matter.
In Malaysia, there are several religion and tradition co-existing. Nothing wrong with that, however certain quarters used this as their truimph card to embattled another into a tussle. They knowingly do it, as the 'use of religion' in some hands are 'arsenal'.
Books written by prophets, are guidelines used in enforcing the religion. A scientist can on the other hand challenge this and ask, so did GOD say this and that. Never ending argument and a hassle to argue.
At the end, we, are burdened to weigh what is right and what is wrong. Honestly the Vatican is against abortion. I would weigh it, will this child have a home? Will the parent/parents take care of it and bring the child up in such condition? What if the child is handicap? Is the society taking care or is the church going to take care of it? What if the child's parents are children themselves?? What then? Look at the many abandon children out there!
One can pray so many times a day and when he or she comes out of the temple/mosque/church and then cast a curse or hurt someone knowingly...does that make a person a good hindu, christian or muslim? lol...like my uncle use to say..'bloody humbug!'...lol
I can write on more but suffice to say, I'd probably anger lots of people with what I write. Honestly, I answer to GOD and GOD only. So if I anger GOD then, he shall punish me accordingly. Not some men who think they can play GOD.
So drinking is 'haram' aka 'sin' in Islam. So don't drink. However there are lots of them who drink. In Turkey, their fav drink 'Raki' which is ALCOHOL. They drink that! So go whipping and caning them as Turkey is a Islamic Country and almost all who drink are muslims there.
The subject is wide and spread. We can cry to Kingdon come, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror every morning and know in our heart if we have been a GOOD PERSON, HONEST PERSON and HUMBLE PERSON. That matters most cause half the battle will be won if ONLY they (the people out there) think like that.
I am no saint (God forbid) and I am no angel but I don't wish any bad on another person, knowingly.
Kartika, you are a better muslim than MANY (holy-man included!!) out there!

Many a wonderous story.....
Well, long time no blogging! Not that I have been out of topic but I wanted to make sure the topics have been verified and tested for truthfulness....alas its still not easily accomplish able!
We know whats on going in Malaysia yea, the buzz of the RAHMAN theory, the many a 'buy-elections', the case of Ali Mamak and Four Thieves in Perak and then RPK's missing from his trial and now new spin-offs with recent 'tell-a-story' of his Detention in September 08.
Another story that's fast becoming a serial is 'The Case of C4 in Malaysian Political Jungle' as reported and blogged by Susan http://sloone.wordpress.com/2009/05/05/hk-tv-series-to-show-how-altantuya-was-killed/
Don't condemn me..I am just telling you whats being blogged. Yes I have featured the poor woman being C4ed a couple of times in my blog too but whether or not its being turned into a serial...its still need verification.
Another one more story that we all are waiting for is the State of Perak's dubious MB and the rakyat elected MB 'face-off'! Till today many of us Perakians are upset of the way the rug was tugged from underneath Nizar's feet! So much for our votes! They should have not wasted OUR FUNDS if they wanted to roost their flock (BN-ites) in Perak.
Has anyone noticed the recent deco-spree the current con-a-MB's gang in Perak going on. Its not their money they are wasting, its Perak Rakyat's coffers! Check out the Ceramic Bali-nese Vase on Jalan Gopeng (now known in one royalty name - honestly I too have forgotten the new name!) and the up-coming many a istana in Ipoh. Why not upgrade roads, schools, buses....and other main amenities in Ipoh or parts of Perak but nooooo they spent so much on other stuff 'they' think is more needy.
Just drive around Ipoh and see the latest follies......
May 7 2009, another date on all perakian's calender!
Lets see what new story shall enfold ok! Cheers mates..

Whipping for Bread.......
Just was reading The Malaysian Insider and came across a very silly article.
Saudi Arabia to whip, jail 75-year-old widow
CAIRO, March 10 – The sentencing of a 75-year-old widow to 40 lashes and four months in prison for mingling with two young men who were reportedly bringing her bread has sparked new criticism of Saudi Arabia’s ultraconservative religious police and judiciary.
Read more here http://m.themalaysianinsider.com/articles.php?id=20013-saudi-arabia-to-whip-jail-75-year-old-widow
Seriously, so they expect her to starve to death? Religion is one thing but taking it to heights of these kind of unthinkable heights...is totally UNTHINKABLE!!
So if Malaysia were la to say (just a figure of speech) turn into an 'Arabic' style rule...there goes all the party, drinking, mixing and mingling even for the Malays. No more tight jeans (have your bums exposed kinda jeans) and all the makeup too!! No more teh-tarik sessions and lepaking with kawan-kawan sessions too. That sure sounds scary isn't it?
Aiyoooooo........ cannot la!!! So how? Poor old lady just for bread she gets whipped!!!

Batu Caves...and Thaipusam
Thaipusam came and went but the following scenes are very much still fresh in my eyes. I hardly go up the caves, and this year I decided to with my brother and cousins. Boy was I disappointed! Mind you it was not seeing Lord Muruga but the state of where he is was more of my disappointment! As I looked around the upper temple grounds, these were the scenes I saw.....
Right, the temple committee...wonder who are the people in there, have to look around them! There were rubbish from last year's thaipusam around the stairs leading to the upper temple and then much to my amazement chickens are being rared there (hmmm....wonder WHY??) and rubbish still piled and stench reeking from the areas of the temple. What truly shocked me was the rusted and corroded metal piece from the drain cover! That my friends are the true danger (imagine some kid or adult with thaipusam mayhem just steps or cuts his/her toe....OUCHHHHHH......) Another famous thing I see all around the temple area are Donation Boxes....they were colored and numbered! Collection for this Thaipusam would have been plentiful but wonder how much goes to temple upkeep and how much into temple keepers coffers!!!
Why do so much nonsenses around the temple (ie lake, cave villa some other sundry stuff below) when the upper temple (where I trust is the true attraction) is so BADLY maintained! Year in year out Thaipusam comes and goes but the temple upper grounds...has never been upgraded or even been cleaned thoroughly. Signages were another sore point! Sign boards were still in handwritten and badly put UP! Goodness this occasion is the most celebrated one and come on you mean the committee can't pay for a decent sign board!!!! Does not have to be electronic but at least DECENT!
I fully understand that it is hard to maintain such a big area but you don't have to go over board like keep constructing new and flashy Temples but keep the grounds clean, void of any mosquito breeding, stench of rotting rubbish and food plus other things. This is a gazetted area and IT IS A TOURIST ATTRACTION TOO!!!!
I sure will visit the temple again and bet you RM100.00 that the same scenes will greet us all. Nothing would have been done!
