Nuri Crash

To date, there had been 18 crashes involving Nuri helicopters. And yet, the government has no plan whatsoever to ground or order for replacement for the helicopters. As mentioned by Datuk Seri Najib yesterday, Nuri is important as transportation and for special operation that any move to ground the helicopters are not feasible. And here I would like to ask Datuk Seri, if the helicopters are so important to the armed forces, then, why the government did not buy new helicopters to replace those ageing Nuri?

Don’t try to tell me that the government has no money considering the government already bought 4-5 private jets for the use of the Prime Minister and the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. We only have one PM and one Agong, why do we need to have 5 private jets is beyond me.

Realizing that I might get shot after posting this entry here, I might as well stop here. If you don’t hear from me after this, just ask my family for the location of my grave.

P.S. I’d like to express my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the six officers involved in the Nuri crash last Friday.

UPDATE: Right after I posted this, the government announced that Nuri will be replaced. And our PM is on another holiday according to Buletin Utama.

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...
