The possibility of a hung parliament.

My friend, prof. Chuah chung Cheng from Penang , has predicticted that there might be a hung parliament in the next general election. He further pointed out that PR`s states such as Kedah and Selangor are at risk of losing to BN.

Prof Chuah might be correct. BN would use all sorts of tactics to get back the lost states. Another reason is due to infightings in the PR parties. The other factor is that there are many potential frogs in PR. Complacency in PR may cause PR to lose some seats which were narrowly won in the last election.

The senario of a hung parliament is bad for the nation and the people. Let`s pray that the righteous parties and the candidates will win in the election and that the hung parliament would not occur in the next election.

PAS has toned down on the Islamic State

Hassan Ali, the Selangor state exco is contemplating to leave PAS very soon. This gentleman has strongly advocated for Islamic laws . He and Nasarrudin strongly urged PAS to have a unity talk with UMNO.These two gentlemen seem to lose influence in PAS.Good news.
Over the past few weeks, PAS has openly said that it wants to implement Hukum Hudud or Islamic laws if PR forms the next government. But with strong oppositions from DAP and the public, PAS has toned down considerably. It is a good sign. PAS must know that the voters, particularly the Chinese, would not support PAS if it insists to implement Hukum Hudud.

Instead of harping on the Islamic state issues, what PAS should focus should be on issues of corruptions, abuse of power, judiciary independence and equality for all races. If PAS leaders want to be national leaders, they should show maturity, and not be narrow minded.

Political debates.

Taiwan is a matured democratic country. The presidential candidates for 2012 had just finished their grand debates. The candidates put forward their ideals and ideas and the people decide who they want to vote.

We Malaysians are looking forward for a grand political debate among the heads of all the political parties, namely, UMNO, MCA. DAP, SUPP, MIC and Gerakan. These leaders must tell the Malaysians their party ideology, their struggles and what they can do for the rakyat and the nation. From there people make a choice which party or parties they should vote.

If for any reason the leaders are incompetent or have no substance nor material and they do badly in the debates, then they and their parties concerned should not be given any support. Afterall, in democratic countries, only capable political leaders and the right parties which champion for the interests of the people should be voted in.

Destiny

Different people have different destiny. Some people live to ripe full age, satisfactory , prosperous and meaningful life. Others live a short, miserable, poor and regretable life.

I believe everybody would like to live a meaningful and respectable life but not everybody can achieve it.Many factors such as health, determination, family, character and environment affect the life of a person.

My sixth brother lived a short live. He passed away at the age of 26. He led a miserable life and it is a long painful story to tell. I pray that God has mercy for him and he lives happily in the heaven with my late father, grandparents and other relatives who have passed away.

Nobody can escape death.Nobody wants to live a miserable life. Few people such as the casino king of Macau and Lee Kuan Yew can smile their ways to the graves. Most ordinary people will struggle and appear to be in deep agony at the moment they breathe their last breath . They refuse to close their eyes.They do not want to die. Their lives were meaningless, futile, short-lived and no legacy was left. Soon, the world has forgotten these people had ever existed on Earth.

In any case, I just pray that our God has mercy for these pitiful souls. They have had a miserable life while on Earth. They need love of God more than people like Lee Kuan Yew, Mao Zedong or Gaddafi. If God is a passionate God who shows mercy to these unfortunate souls,perhaps their death is a gain for they are rewarded with an eternal life.

Worrying trends in Malaysia

The world, including Malaysia, is facing acute financial crisis. Yet our government is not doing enough to accelerate the economic growth. Worse, trillions of dollars are wasted yearly due to rampant corruptions and wastage. The ministries or the departments concerned do not show any sense of remorse. They continue with their old practice of mismanagement of funds. The latest scandal is the cattle rearing investment that cost taxpayers millions , if not billions of dollars.

We are told that Malaysia`s debts run in trillions of dollars and each person, young or old , is indebted around rm 20,000 and the figure is going to increase. If nothing is done to stop the corruptions and to prevent the privatised companies such as North- South Highways from robbing the peoples` wealth, most probably Malaysia would end up like Greece soon.

We pray that our future generations need not suffer the consequence due to the mismanagement of the present leaders. May God grant them the wisdom to rule, failing which it is proper for them to be replaced in the next general election.

No corruptions?

Binoculars were bought at price few hundred percents more than the normal price. Submarines, jetfighters and many other items were bought at price many times higher than the normal price. Yet MACC said there is no corruption involved but the authorities " bought those items without checking out the normal price". Can you believe what the MACC said?

I think it is time for MACC to dissolve. Do not waste taxpayers` money. After all, there is " no corruptions" in Malaysia, what is the purpose of setting up MACC?

Is there any righteous people in China?

A toddler was run over by two vehicles in China. The cruel and heartless drivers did not stop to rescue her. They sped on. The passers-by also did not stop to help.A rubbish collector stopped and tried to help but she was unable to help. She alerted the toddler`s parents. By the time the toddler reached hospital, it was too late for the doctors to rescur her. A valuable life is lost.

The public did not condemn the drivers or the cold-blooded passers-by. They condemned the kind rubbish collectors who tried to help. The whole society and the nation is sick. The people`s hearts are hardened. They do not have loving and caring hearts anymore.

The communist regime had done so much evils that the Chinese have evil hearts. They want money only. They do not bother about moral values and righteosness. The government persecuted the Christians . There are very few Christians in China. Everybody is selfish and heartless. The Chinese must repent and turn over a new leaf or else they will face destructions.

Arrogance leads to downfall

Having won some seats in the 2008 election, PAS becomes arrogant again. Its spiritual leader Nik Aziz said that Kelantan wants to implement Islamic law. He said that DAP can pull out of PR if it is not happy with Islamic law.

I think PAS has a short memory. It has forgotten that it lost badly when it proposed to set up an Islamic state many years ago. In 2008, PAS managed to win a lot of votes from non muslims because it proposed a moderate policy known as welfare state which is acceptable by all.

Now PAS think that it can form the federal government without DAP . It simply shows that its leaders are immature and ignorant.

Anwar , a controversial figiure, said that he personally supports Islamic law. Is Anwar a man of principle? Let the people judge.

PAS must always remember that it needs non muslims votes in order to win and form the federal government. Any wrong move would break up PR and the fragile alliance would never have any chance to march into Putra Jaya.

Meanwhile, BN has been capitalizing the Islamic state issues and it has put DAP in a defensive position. With so many ignorant and immature PR leaders around, chance for PR to march into Putra Jaya is very slim.

This is What happens if communists were to rule Malaysia

Many ignorant Chinese (all over the world) have high regards of communists. They think highly of communist China . They think communists are great people. These ignorant people do not know what would happen if communists were to rule Malaysia or their countries. This is what happens:

1)Hundred of thousands or even millions of people , especially Chinese, would be persecuted and killed. The crime? Counter revolutionary.

2) Your lands and properties are confiscated by the cruel communists without any compensation. There is no law. These is no judiciary system..

3) The foolish communists force you to use the ugly and low standard simplified Chinese characters. You lose the culture and the beautiful traditional Chinese language.
4) There is only one party called communist party. No more elections allowed.

5) There is no freedom of speech nor religion.

6) Economy goes down the drain. Malaysia becomes a poor country.

7) Corruptions become rampant

8) You are forced to sing communist songs and wave the red flags. You are forced to praise the " great" chairman Mao and Chin Peng.

9) You are not allowed to migrate to other countries.

10) You become so poor that you cannot afford to provide educations to your children.

11) The communists would torture you, punish you, rape you or send you to jails for the " crimes" you did not commit.

12) You cannot voice out anything against the " great " leaders. If you do, you would be chained and paraded in the streets like dogs and then sentenced to death for defaming the good names of the " great " leaders.

13) In short, all of us live in the hell.

So ladies and gentlemen, let us value the democratic system and champion for democracy, human rights and freedom instead of defending the foolish communists. You are asking for troubles if you want to be ruled by any authoritative regimes that practises dictatorship and tyranny.

PAP has lost its glamour

PAP used to get to get landslide victories in the previous elections but no more. Today the younger Singaporeans are not satisfioed with stability and high standard of living. What they want is democracy, human rights, freedom and judiciary independence. It looks like PAP cannot provide or not willing to give in to the demands of the younger generations.

As PAP is getting less and less votes, it will not be surprising for PAP to lose power in the next general election unless dirty tactics are used. A fair election would not be favourable to PAP anymore. We hope Lee Kuan Yew would live longer to see the change which will take place in another five years time.

Dictators turned to become Santa Claus

STANDARD OF CHINESE EDUCATION HAS GONE DOWN THE DRAIN

When Mao Zedong got into power, he did a lot of foolish things such as initiating the " Great Leapt Forward", the Cultural Revolution and the simplification of the Chinese characters.
The young Chinese throughout the world and all Mao`s supporters were very happy with the simplified version of the Chinese characters and everybody adopted Mao`s policy to change and simplify characters until the language lost its original lustre and meanings

Today, many young Chinese could not comprehend the old version of Chinese characters which are of high quality and beauty. The younger generations want to write fast, at the expense of the standard of culture, education, value and beauty of the original words, thanks to foolish Mao ahd his ignorant successors such as Deng tsiaoping and other tyrants and dictators in China. The standard of education has gone down the drain. It is sad.

The British are wise. They would not compromise with their language and words. They maintain the high standard of education and English language.

Language represents souls of a race. When the language is dead, so is the race. Sadly to say, not many Chinese scholars are thinking of reviving the old version of the Chinese characters. Chinese will lose its identity when its culture and language are compromised by the stupid communist leaders who are not highly educated and whose hands are tainted with bloods.

Disputes in the Spratly islands.

Few thousand years ago, China had had a powerful navy. They conquered the South China Sea and all the islands in it.

The weak Ching dynasty, the useless Kuomintang and the foolish communist neglected to build their navy and they lost control in the South China Sea.

Today, even weak and poor nations set eyes on the South China Sea and they are eyeing the hugh oil reserves in the seabed in the South China Sea. These Asean countries are now asking the Americans to help them and America is eager to get some shares of the oil fields.

As expected, the weak communist China could not do anything. At the end, Hu Jintao will have to cowtow to Obama and China will have to share the oil fields with Phillipines, Vietnam, Japan, and Malaysia.

The ancestors of Chinese fought with blood, sweat and tears to get the territories in the South China sea but the useless descendants lost them. What a shame.

PAP is less arrogant now

Singapore is under PAP`s rule for the past half century.LKY and his comrades used to be very proud and arrogant. They dictated Singaporeans to do something they don`t like to do like how many children they should have and they ruled Singapore with iron fists since they could easily walk over in many elections without any challenge from the oppositions.

PAP used courts and judiciary to finish off the oppositions. Jeyaretnam and many other opposition leaders such as Chee Soon Chuan had many times being jailed or declared bankrupt. LKY used communist style to rule Singapore and he threatened the Singaporeans that if they were to vote for the opposition, Singapore`s economy would be jeopardised.

LKY and PAP`s tactics worked very well till the last general election. The young Singaporeans, in their pursuit for material gains, also demand freedom, human rights and democracy which have been deniedf by the PAP for the last 50 years. They could not stand the PAP , LKY and his colleaques anymore. Many young Singaporeans voted for the opposition. Though 40 percents of the voters voted for oppositions, the oppositions obtained miserable few seats, due to the unfair voting system engineered by LKY and his cabinet to keep PAP in power permanently.

After losing few seats, PAP is less arrogant now. It drops LKY and GCT from the cabinet. It is talking about reduction of pay for the ministers which would never happen if PAP were to sweep all the seats.

We just hope that a two - party system would be set up in Singapore soon. The young Singaporeans and the oppositions must continue to work hard to bring down the regime which does not respect democracy, human rights and freedom of speech, expression and gatherings. We would like to see " Jasmine " blossom in Singapore.

Natural disasters and the folly of people

You reap what you sow. The foolish governments of the world rush to clear forests and chop down trees in the name of development. The water catchment regions are destroyed. Pollutions everywhere.Nuclear blasts did not stop the countries concerned to stop using nuclear energy. More and more nations are going into nuclear energy. The world is sitting on the time bombs.

China government and other governments of the world did not repent. They continue with the rapid pace of developments, clearing more forests.The world is getting more and more polluted. Beautiful sceneries disappear from the face of the earth.

Tsunami, typhoons and earthquakes did not wake up the greedy people. They continue to destroy the very world created by god.
But god will not allow the greedy people to destroy the Earth. The greedy people will reap what they sow. Just watch out

Neither fear nor favour

I personally do not know Lee Kuan Yew. Neither do I know Hu Jintao. But I hate all the dictators of the world because they will bring more damage than good to their country or people. That is why I always criticise the authoritative rules and the dictators.

I am glad that the younger generations of Singapore realize that economic success means nothing if they do not have democracy and the freedom. When the government decides how many children you should have or what you must or must not do, it is your duty to dispose off this type of government.

In China, there is no way for the Chinese to get rid of tyrants. They are at the mercy of unjust and the abusive government. The Chinese are paying a heavy price because their forefathers had given the communist party too much power. It needs a revolution to dispose off this authoritative regime. The conditions are not right yet for a revolution.

The Chinese have to repent and pray to God. God will hear their prayers and God will grant them a democratic government when they have repented for their sins.

Environmental disasters

It is reported that China is going to build a trans -railway from Yunnan to Singapore. This means that thousands of kilometres of forests will be cleared.

The greedy Chinese government has destroyed its own environment. Now it wants to destroy the environment of Asia. The Asian governments, in their quest for economic development is willing to forego the beautiful fauna and flora. All the silly governments concerned only think of short term gain and they don`t care whether the habitats of animals are destroyed or not.

The foolish communist China will do everything to destroy the world under the name of " economic development. "Today, many Chinese are paying a heavy price because many parts of China are suffering from droughts , floods, earthquakes , air pollutions, water pollutions landslides and food poisoning.

If the Asian governments are foolish to follow the footsteps of China, one day we will have to bear the same bad consequences as the Chinese. May the foolish Chinese leaders be punished for the sins they have committed in destroying the environment.

Singaporeans must value democracy

The Singaporeans have been faithfully voting for PAP and giving ther fullest support to Lee kuan Yew for the past half century.

Lee used his tactics very well. He warned that if singaporeans don`t vote for PAP, Singapore`s economy would collapse. Many ignorant Singaporeans believe what Lee said and they keep voting for PAP, allowing LeeKY to be the longest surviving strongman of the world. He ruled Singapore with iron fists. He does not hesitate to bring his opponets to courts so that their political careers end abruptly.
The Jasmine revolution sarts in Middle East. People in the Middle East want democracy and freedom and human rights.
It is time for the Singaporeans to change their mindset. Any party, whether PAP or communist, will not be good to the country if it stays in power too long. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Vote the oppositions in to ensure that Singapore is a democratic country that respects freedom of speech and human right. When you give too much power to a person, you yourself is at risk. You see how Mao Zedong treated the very people who brought him to power. You will understant that you will be at the mercy of the person whom you have surredered your power.

Vote the opposition for a better and democratic Singapore. Do not listen to the threats and warnings of PAP.You vote out those PAP ministers who got millions of salary every year. You have to work hard to make them rich. Wake up brothers and sisters.

BN retains two third majority in Sarawak

As expected, BN retains two third majority again in the just concluded state election. Taib Mahmud has been sworn in as CM. DAP wins 12 seats, PKR wins 3 seats. Independent candidate wins 1 seat. The rest are swept by BN.Supp only manages to retain 5 seats out of 19 seats it has contested. The results of the state election show that the Sarawak natives are not ready to change. These natives lack of information and education. They are ready to vote anybody who offers them the most money. The defeat of George Chan of SUPP will now put pressure on Chua Soi Lek and Koh Tsu Koon. The Sarawakian Chinese have abandoned SUPP. Will the Chinese in West Malaysia abandoned MCA and Gerakan?Let us see. The show is about to begin. I think Taib will be CM for another term. After all PBB has done well, there is no reason for Najib to ask him to step down. This will be good for PR because it can capitalise on this issue in the next coming election. I also expect money politics would be more serious in the coming general election. MCA and Gerakan will be fighting for their survival. They would use all the secret weapons, particularly "vitamin M" With the victory in Chinese dominated towns, DAP has gained momentum and let us see how the tainted president of MCA would ward off the assault from DAP.

The JaPAN GOVERNMENT OWES THE WORLD AN APOLOGY

The Japan government should apologize to the world for allowing nuclear wastes to be drained into the seas. These nuclear wastes will eventually enter the food chaians and every human being will be at risk being exposed to the health hazards. At this moment, the world should stop importing goods from Japan, Korea and China because these countries` food supplies have been contaminated with nuclear wastes. The greedy Chinese businessmen will buy some cheap contaminated products from japan and sell in China as well as sell them to other countries. I am rather disappointed with America and the European countries for not condemning Japan for its irresponsible ways of handling nuclear wastes. I strongly suspect the Japanese government has a lot of secrets to hide. It is ambitious to build nuclear weapons. That explains why it does not allow the foreign experts to inspect its disfunct nuclear plants. If the world keeps quiet and let the japanese pollute the world further, one day all of us, including our fuiture generations will have to pay a heavy price.

Nuclear plants in Malaysia?

Our government is contemplating to build nuclear plants in Malaysia despite the nuclear disasters that had just happened in Japan. I think that idea is without proper thinkings. Look at Japan, an advanced country which has sophistcated nuclear technology yet it could not tackle its nuclear disasters. How about Malaysia? Do you think we have the know-hows to deal with any nuclear crisis? If our government think it is capable to deal with nuclear crisis, I challenge the ministers or departments concerned to go to Japan now and offer them their brilliant solutions. Malaysian voters can play an important role. If you support the government in this coming election, the government can take it as a mandate from the people to build nuclear plants. If you want to have a clean environment for your future generations, you must vote wisely.

The Coming Sarawak state election

Sarawak will be having its state election soon. Taib has been the CM for many decades. It is time for him to step down. The Supp chief, Chan, must also step down as he has failed to fight for the rights of Sarawakians. Both men are more interested in getting young wives than serving the rakyats.

Though finally PR has sorted out seats allocation between DAP and PKR, the future is not very bright for PR because Sarawak has got too many ignorant and uneducated people who are grateful to Chan and Taib or the state government. They are interested in short term gains only. And the ruling parties will hand out a lot iof goodies to buy votes.
The One Malaysia organization will come and distyribute the goodies to buy votes.
Morever the interior parts of Sarawak are inaccesible to PR. The PR lacks money, manpower and the main stream media will be fully behind BN.

Perhaps, the PR can capitalize on the issues of corruptions, the bible issues, the interlock and abuse of power. This will work in urban areas dominated by Chinese. Where natives are concerned, they are more interested in which party can give them money, rice, sugar or other personal gains.

The PR must have good strategies or else it will not be able to win the seats it expects to win.

Sex scandal again

It was reported that Anwar was caught in a video tape for having sex with a prostitute in a hotel. It was a serious allegation. If that was true, it spells the end of political life of Anwar and it has serious repercussions to the PR.

Anwar had made a poliice report in Dang Wangi police station. If the police could prove that Anwar is innocent, then the whole world would know all allegations, including the sodomy cases , were framed and the plots would backfire.

Let us watch the next episode

Do you know?

Do you know that the moon will be closest to the Earth on the 19th March 2011? The force of gravitation between the two bodies will be strongest since half a century ago. There is high probability that the tides at some places will be highest at some parts of the world but at other parts of the world ( away from the moon) there would be low tides.

Whether there would be more tsunamis or earthquakes from now on yet to be confirmed. There is little we can do except pray to God for mercy and forgiveness. May we be spared the disasters and crisis.

The tiger mothers

Many Chinese women are proud to be tiger mothers. They want their children to do well in studies, in music, in ballet, in games and virtually, in every field.

If their children are talented, well, the tiger mothers should be proud that their children score high grades in every arena. But what happens if their childrean are not gifted? The poor children, under the intense pressure from the tiger mothers , would then do silly things such as committing suicide or run away from homes.

In US, the tiger mothers feel proud to show off the talents of their children. Unless the children are enjoying what they are doing, otherwise the tiger mothers would produce a new generation which is totally lost, isolated and full of hatred.
The poor children simply lost their childhood. These children grow up in an unhappy environment and they can be selfish, self-centred and they would do the same thing to their future generations.

So tiger mothers, do not ruin the future of your future generations.

Gaddafi, the mad man of Libya

It is reported in the newspapers that Gaddafi is using air force to bomb the demonstrators. If that is true, he is a mad man.
In china, there was a mad leader called Deng tsiaoping. He used tanks to kill hundreds of student demonstrators. All mad men have the same feature. that is, they would not hesitate to kill others in order to stay in power forever.
Deng tsiaoping is lucky because he escapes the long arm of laws for killing innocent lives. We are waiting to see whether Gaddafi is as lucky as Deng.

Time Bomb

We are worried that there are too many foreigners flooding into Malaysia. Many of them are illegal immigrants. The greedy businessmen, developers and factories owners, many of whom are Chinese, are eager to employ these foreigners as cheap labours. They do not bother the security problems. Some employers, especially the fishermen, had been killed by the illegal immigrants and their fishing boats driven to Indonesia. But the greedy employers do not repent and they continue to employ them.

The government must do something. Otherwise Malaysia will one day be the safe haven of the illegal immigrants who turn Malaysia into their hotbeds for crime activities such as robbery, drug trafficking and murders. The Chinese must wake up. If they wish to have a safe environment to stay, they should stop engaging the foreigners immediately.

China , the coming superpower?

Many economists, political analysts and scholars publish articles about China`s so-called economic wonders. They claim that China`s GDP is going to surpass Japan and America. And some even predict that China`s scientific research would overtake America soon.

All these analysts are telling half truths only. Yes, China `s economy is growing and America`s economy is shrinking.But can the economic grwoth be transformed into military power? It is not necessary.

While people`s attention is focused at the GDP of China, they miss out an important point. Every year, thousands of intelligent students go to America to study and they refuse to go home because they are disillusioned by the corrupt government of China. These top brains are in America, leaving behind the not so intelligent people who remain patriotic to the corrupt country. The brain drains would cost China dearly.

Corruptions and abuse of power will continue to plague China. Hu jintao and his followers allow only economic but not political reforms. Without democracy, the educated and talented Chinese would lack of platforms to express and perform. Soon, these young professionals have to join the corrupt officials for their own survivals.

Can a country ruled by dictators become a superpower? It is doubtful. If that was true, China under Mao Zedong should be the most powerful in the world but it was the other way around.

Meanwhile, a lot of people, particularly from the West , are trying to paint a false picture where China is going to overtake America and Japan. They are either ignorant, childish or they have some agendas. Perhaps they want to wake up the Americans.

Let me repeat, without democracy there won`t be progress and improvements. If you don`t believe, do have a look at Egypt, Myammar, Cuba,Middle East and other countries ruled by dictators such as North korea.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The next century belongs to China? Stop dreaming.

POISONOUS MILK FROM CHINA , BEWARE!

Of late, another brand of milk powder in China is found to be contaminated with heavy metals and not safe to be consumed.Millions of Chinese babies were affected. This scandal broke out few years ago and now it recurs. Why?
The answers lie in corruptions. In China, if you can bribe the high ranking officials, you can do almost anything to make yourself rich. The corrupt officials, having received the bribes, would then close an eye to allow the crooks to produce poisons to be sold in the markets.

In Malaysia, I do not know whether our officials are doing the same to allow the poisonous China products to be sold here. But for your children`s safety, please do not buy anything from China.

People`s power

Mr Mubarak stepped down due to people`s power. The other authoritative regimes in the world are shivering now. Some of them tried to give money to their people to buy their hearts.

Some poltical analysists said that Jasmine revolution will not spread to China as Chinese are rich now. The Chinese have been suppressed for a long time. It is like a volcano. It may erupt anytime, may be few more years or few more decades.

When people exert their own power, the dictators tremble with fear.

After mubarak, who is next?

Finally mr Mubarak got to step down.Great news. The Jasmine movement is the best way to get rid of authoritative rules.

We hope that those long suffering people who have been suppressed for so long would wake up and follow the footsteps of the Egyptians. What are you waiting for?

some clarifications

Over the past few years, I have written many articles. Some of the articles may be crude or rude to some people. But I do not mean personal attack. What I wrote was my opinions towards certain issues. For example, I hate corruptions and abuse of power. So I condemn some parties and the China government.

But by doing so, I become enemies to many people. Naturally I am prepared for the retaliations. So if the opponents used some dirty tactics or start personal attack, I would be prepared. As for me, I will not stood low as to go for personal attacks.I write articles is for the benefits of the people, not for personal gain.And I do not have any enemy.

The political climate has changed

The political senario has greatly changed in the recent months in the world, particularly in Arab countries.Tunesia`s dictator has fled. The next one on the line is Mubarak. We do not know how long he could stay on with the continuous demonstrations, demanding him to step down.

More and more Arab people are demanding democracy and freedom. Authoritative governments like China and Singapore should be very worried. Sun Yat Sen once said that the tide of democracy and freedom cannot be stopped.

America, as a world police, could play a vital role to promote world peace, freedom and democracy.

THE GREAT SHU QIU

According to some Chinese organizations, MCA had promised to buld a Chinese independent school in the year 1986, three months after MCA won the elections in Segamat. 25 years later, there was no sign of the school. The residents in Segamat are furious. They take the opportunity of the Tenang by-election to request the building of the independent school again. Afraid of losing some Chinese votes, Chua Soi Lek said that the shu qiu is to embarass MCA. What a joke. If this is called embarassment, isn`t that the Chua`s CD is more damaging and embarassing?
We hope the MCA members and the Chinese in Tenang can wake up for they have been sleeping for the past 25 years. How many 25 years do we have? Brothers and sisters, wake up. Don`t sleep anymore.

Hu Jintao going to America again.

Hu Jintao is going to meet Obama again. This time, he not only brings billions of dollars to shut the eyes and mouth of Obama and his administration, he also brings along with him 50 prominent figures who are experts in their own field. Wow. This is extravagant. Even the feudal emperors and the ancient dictators could not match Hu.

Meanwhile, at home, the poor Chinese have to pay high taxes, struggling to pay for houses that are beyond their means. Thousands of peasants lose their lands to the greedy local government officials under the "fantastic" name of " developement". Many were killed or persecuted when they protested against the illegal confiscation of their lands. Some were runned over by vehicles in the obvious day-light murders. The central government closes one eye. Hu jintao either does not care or collaborates with the local government to persecute these pitiful peasants whom they regard as " counter revolutionaries." To the communist regime, you must willingly give away your ancestral lands to prove that you are patriotic. If you resist, you are" counter revolutionary "and you deserve to be jailed or killed.

The world is watching what Obama would say to Hu Jintao, knowing very well that his hands are tainted with the poor Chinese`s bloods. The world is watching whether Obama`s eyes and mouth would be shut by the billions of dollars and the invaluable gifts Hu is going to give to Obama. Whether the president deserves the votes of Americans in the next presidential election depends on how he deals with one of the cruest regimes in this century.

Who politicized what?

It is a sad story for the late Teoh Beng Hock and his family. TBH is dead. What they want is truth and justice and nothing else.But they couldn`t get.

We believe that he did not commit suicide. Unless he suffered from mental problems, there was no reason for TBH to commit suicide.After all he was to get married the next day before his death.

When there is death, it is the responsibility of the government to find out the truth and the person or persons involved be brought to court to face the law. When this is not done, the family has the right to pursue this issue and nobody should accuse them of politicizing the issue.

If some parties or indivisuals have no wisdom and accuse others of politicizing, they must understand that the tragedy could befall on their loved ones or their future generations one day. Should that happen, would they say the same thing again?

We should show mercy and pity to the late TBH and his family. To condemn them in whatsoever way is rude, arrogant, cruel and inhumane.

This era belongs to China?

There are many people who claim that this era belongs to China because of its rapid economic growth. They are either ignorant or childish.

First, economic growth is not necessarily equal the military growth. A rich country is not necessarily a powerful country. Singapore is very rich yet it is not powerful. On the other hand America is poor but it is powerful.

Second, China has no democracy. A country ruled by dictators can never be powerful or can never become a superpower because dictators are usually not intelligent though they can be brutal, cruel and merciless. Talented people won`t stay in a country ruled by dictators. I can assure you that the talented Chinese are dying to migrate to America. Without talented scientists, educationalists, businessmen and technicians, China can never be a superpower. So ignorant people, please stop dreaming that this era belongs to China.
