Malaysia Ter-Chinta

It is amazing to see how sometimes we tend to forget how great our country really is. I was talking with a couple of my friends last week in Business Law lecture when one the topic of corruption popped out. A friend of mine asked me about the problem of corruption in Malaysia and I said, “I think my country is very corrupted.” To my surprise, he actually disagreed with me. He told me that the situation cannot be worse than Nigeria. Well, to be fair, it does not make any sense to compare Malaysia and Nigeria because that will be like comparing the UK and Fiji. The point is if we were to compare Malaysia and Singapore, we can clearly see how corrupted Malaysia is. But then again, that is also unfair to Malaysia because Malaysia does not have a political dynasty like Singapore (Malaysia is about to have one, if you know what I mean). To put it in my Singaporean friend’s words, the you-know-who family technically owned the country.

I am just rambling here, back to my first sentence, all I am trying to say is, I tend to think Malaysia as a very corrupted country with a very poor public delivery system but I never actually think about how it is not as bad as I think it is. I mean, of course there is corruption in Malaysia, but if you think about it, how many cops on the street will accept bribe in exchange of not giving you a speeding ticket? The answer is very few if not none. The only problem if corruption in Malaysia is it is happening at the highest level. I better stop here and leave the last sentence to your own thinking and judgement.

I’ll leave you with this song, Tercipta Untukku by Ungu. This video clip has a very striking similarity with Addicted by Enrique Iglesias. Just watch it and you know what I mean. And to the person who dedicated this song to me, thank you very much.

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
