Warning: Democracy Kills.

Apparently, to our so-called leaders, democracy kills. Therefore, democracy must be avoided at any costs. I am talking about this one political party that supposed to represent the Malays in Malaysia. I have always have a soft spot for this one political party. However, lately, I am beginning to have my doubt. I mean, how can I continue to support a political party that has no respect towards democracy? But then again, there is no such political party anyway in this country.

Going back to this political party, how can the supreme council of the party recommend the members not to contest in certain positions? I find it absurd that an elected leader of a party can name his/her successor, who is also supposed to be elected by the members. Who gave them the rights to name his/her successor? A Prime Minister can do that because it is his prerogative in choosing his successor. But an elected leader of a party does not have such privileges. In fact, he cannot even recommend to the members who they should vote – at least not directly.

People who are in elected positions do not have the right whatsoever to write a succession plan. They come as they are elected and they go when they resign or fail to get re-elected. That’s how democracy works – in case they do not know yet.

P.S. Wake up and smell the coffee.

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...
