Phenomenon

I must admit – not owning a car is placidly soothing. A rare phenomenon, I dare say,
Took a joy ride around Subang Jaya with a friend, to survey and to scrutinize. To my dismay, I found it wasn’t disable friendly. It was outrageously dangerous for the disable and its chaperon to move around Subang Jaya. Parking is absolutely impossible, sure can go crazy.

Migrated from Petaling Jaya to USJ1, six months ago – I am a noviciate to Subang Jaya and its surroundings. People here are not used to people in wheelchair. So I’m on mission impossible here!

I finally manage to find a hair saloon which was disable friendly. It was a relief to lighten the load on my head.

Hypocritically Amazing

I never liked reading the newspaper because I doubt their sincerity and intelligibility of it. Journalist these days have a problem understanding simple languages, be it Malay, English, Tamil or Chinese. I personally know a few who can really ask dumb questions. Their ignorance of exposing vital facts and information is an annoying factor that I abhor.
Maybe I don’t understand their job, or maybe I’m too harsh on them or maybe ……….. who care, all I know is that Malaysian journalist are the most republishing lot.
This piece of news didn’t really shock me – I’m far beyond that stage, it shows how sordid and repellent the pervious government was towards its citizens
The way the journalist wrote it – it sounded like a placid issue. Spending RM27m in fifty days! How sagging Barisan Nasional assemblymen can be. Escaping penitentiary too!
I sincerely wonder how the Barisan Nasional assemblymen could deceitfully and so hypocritically get away with all, maybe it is the sculpture of writings, journalist are so passive in their report……..well……… flaccid and flabby words, sure makes my skin crawl!

RM27m for Selangor burned up in 50 days!
By EDWARD RAJENDRA
Tuesday, April 15, 2008 Star news paper

KLANG: The 54 Barisan Nasional assemblymen in the previous administration spent their total annual allocation of RM27mil ringgit for 2008 in just 50 days from the beginning of the year, said Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu.
"There was shock and disbelief when the state executive councillors found out that an annual allocation of RM500,000 each, meant for repairing roads and drains, had been used up by February," he said.
He said the state government would ask all the 36 former Barisan assemblymen and the 18 who retained their seats to explain how the allocations, meant for minor repair works in their constituencies, were used.
Liu, who is State Local Government, Study and Research Committee chairman, was speaking to reporters after a visit to the Klang Municipal Council here on Monday.
He said Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim decided last week to seek an explanation from the asemblymen to ensure accountability.
“All the letters to the assemblymen would be sent out within the week and they must give detailed accounts on how the allocations were used and who the contractors were who carried out the minor projects within their neighborhoods,” Liu said.
“We are not satisfied with the way allocations were used. We want to know how the rate-payers' money was used. But for now, we are not going to speculate on their spending trends. We will wait to see the outcome,” he said.
Ronnie said the assemblymen in the current government were now forced to ask for a fresh RM500,000 to provide the necessary services to their constituencies.
“We are going to come out with a new method where every sen spent will be accounted for. Our aim is to provide transparency, so, that the rakyat can check on the government’s expenditure,” he said.

fascinating

I couldn’t resist the urge in putting this in my blog, because I found it so fascinating and so astounding. It is incredibly true, it is in existence. So so awesome and so miraculous. Yap I am going over-board about it.
I have heard of tallest people and seen some pictures in the newspapers, but I wasn’t stunned by it.
She is so cute too.

She is 58cm, name Jyoti Amge Smallest girl in the world.

Motives

Motives – A very troublesome ‘word’, a negative & a positive expression, that occurs in certain phrase in our life. In mine too.
When we do weird things – so un-logical to the observers. When I do bizarre things, such as living alone in a flat, I was bombarded from all quarters. It wasn’t a realistic idea, in fact some of my friends were very alarmed. I am worshipping a “A living God” that all that matter to me.

There is a reason for everything we do under the sun or under our roof. Doesn’t that ring a bell somewhere in our mind, it does to me, I must have heard it or read somewhere, sometime ago.
Sometimes I am amaze how our brains can work, and I suddenly realize motive is brewed within the brain – that depends on circumstances one is in, motives draws suspicion, an automatic tendency that surfaces without any shove. I experience this a couple of years back, my brain scrutinize the situation in a most amazing manner. A lesson you can’t learn from a text book.
When large corporations give big money to a political campaign, we suspect an ulterior motive. In so many areas, we naturally look for the hidden agenda behind gifts, personal endorsements, and even good manners. It is only natural to evaluate all these with the boundaries of our mind.
One of the amazing lessons I learned is bad motives can put honorable actions to shame just as good motives can turn even the most menial task into something noble. The Bible emphasizes this in the most astounding way and manner.
At the moment I have stopped being concerned about the motives of others, people will always be people and people will have their own motives.

Asphyxiation of the truth

There is nothing to fear except the persistent refusal to find out the truth, the persistent refusal to analyze the causes of happenings. Dorothy Thompson:


There is something very very annoying about our country – asphyxiation of the truth.
A decade of corruption has throttled this exceptional virtue. The way I look at our politics presently.. It
going to be a tuff job for Malaysians to identify clean political principles when they see one. Time can only tell if our country is going uphill or downhill.
When one sits in a wheelchair – the scope is bountiful, amusing and infuriating. Questions flash in the mind. It makes me wonder about the influence of the power that is unseen verse the power that is seen.
Every panorama, the plot thickens. The victims must endure it, without a murmur, Malaysian style.
This all sound very paranoid. But I feel that is the truth, and truth doesn’t have a flavor or technique!
Truth is elegance. Not many will entertain or embrace in a enthusiasm manner. No matter how virtuous we are – including myself! No doubt about it,

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth. Benjamin Disraeli:

Rumination

Just want to remind readers of this page that you might encounter grammar, spelling or other mistakes, which I may have bypassed before posting it.
Basically this blog is a combination of everything; I am not sticking to a singular ‘subject.’
Everyday life is so so exceptionally stupendous! There are times when I’m in the realms and there are times I need to be helmed. Everything interests me. My mind seems to crave and absorbed information. Biology, philology, philosophy, which can be mind boggling you know. And of course, malaysian politics. I’m thinking of taking up photography as a hobby (it is under construction at this moment) but then I have to figure out if my budget allows it. On the other hand, I enjoy reading too. Don’t know if I can jingle both of it together.
I was exposed to Malaysian politics and polices some years ago, due to unforeseen circumstances.
It wasn’t a very appetizing dessert, nevertheless, form observation and scrutinizing facts from resources I got to understand the other side of ‘the coin’ in our wonderful country. The conclusion, malaysian politics stinks and sting!
Let us ALL hope the political scene will improve step by step. I sincerely hope every malaysian will rise up to voice out injustice and not harp for unethical status, which in my opinion is very infantile, primitive, bias and prehistoric. A matured country does not uphold racism or chauvinism

Happiness And Pleasure

I have always wondered what life would be like if I were a normal person and not fettered with this disease.
Probably would have married a billionaire and do the usual stuff that billionaires do. Marrying a billionaire is much easier then trying to be one, you know. A sort of ‘short cut’.
This hypothesis developed in my fantasy world as I was growing up. There was something absolutely wonderful about this commodity call ‘money = $$$’. It has an amazing power of making one illustrious! But you must have tons and tons of it.
On the other hand, happiness is the most vital booster in the human life. There is a hint of legitimacy in the quote below:-
“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”- Abraham Lincoln
It suddenly occurred to me that happiness is something that spills out from our inner being that affects those around us. A visible and viable sight, that all is well within the soul. Our natural state of being is to be happy. When you remove all the uncomfortable emotions we humans can experience (and they are numerous), you're left with happiness.
Happiness is a belief about yourself and the outside world. Happiness is born from the interior workings of our own minds.
The core essence around it, consist in an unshakable faith in God. A simple acceptance of His existence and assistance goes a long way in this present world.
Money on the other hand, gives you pleasure, limited amount of confidence, and perhaps, satisfaction.
Happiness and pleasure. Both are in the hands of God, it is better to receive it from Him then to strive to achieve it ourselves.

Privileged

If you are disable person, you are supposed to live in a ‘home’ or with family members or with other disable people. It is unthinkable to live alone.

For five months I have been living alone in a low cost flat. It is a sensational experience! It is quite impossible to describe this particular scene because I am suffering from Osteogenesis imperfecta. It is a genetic disorder. As collagen is an important protein in bone structure, this impairment causes those with the condition to have weak or fragile bones.
Besides there are various other problems to watch out and to live with. That is why I say it is a ‘particular scene’.

There is something wonderful about being ‘independent’ the prospect of it is boundless, especially if one is born handicap.
True Malaysian society finds this ideologically and psychological exasperating, but that is their problem.
Suggestions of what is for my own good infuriates me. God and I know on these matters.

Oh, don’t imagine it was a smooth sailing all the way, no, there were some rough waves that came along, somehow by His amazing power the boat went through undented. I am truly privileged to have a living God walking beside my wheelchair where ever I go. Segregation, if taken seriously could become a great blessing. A characteristic reincarnation and revival of hidden insight that lays buried.

Sometimes.

Politics is in the limelight. A remarkable era has taken us by storm. Unexpected but “it is about time” thing that we all need at this precise moment. Maybe I should say it was a tornado. A good ONE!
For 50 years we have been plundered, bullied, cheated and worst still our safety have been discarded. I sit in a wheelchair and my mind is unable to swallow such a disgraceful deeds, done by these people who have become inhuman, and that is rightly expected of them as they have been in power for decade.
If you are reading this and expecting that our political performance to be beyond par, then you are highly mistaken. There is bound to problems, as 3 parties are involved. I hope that these leader will cooperate in manner that certain words and action must be used.
First word compromise! It has to be done as part of history lesson regarding Malaysia. 50 is long long time for majority race not to create a commotion. The powers that ruled will install virus to that which is going to rule. Simple isn’t it? That is the way I see it now – all these delays for MB.
All of us have creative ideas – they clash, they splash, they flash and they explode! Very natural.
Action – move forward together with one concept, one mind and vision.That is all I can say for now.
