A Citizen's Diary

While I am not a full time politician, the political movement is still at my heart. I am dismayed by the defeat of PKR in the by-election last Sunday. The result cast a serious doubt on our ability and will to build a better Malaysia.

Irrespective of the allegation of any misconduct by the winner of the by-election, the result is damning. I am concerned with the result as it appears than anything else. The result, I mean, is not the victory or defeat of any of the alliance. It is the voting trend.

What worry me the most is the dichotomy of voting patern. It appears that when the Chinese support to PR escalates, the Malay support declines enormously, not to mention that BN has recover marginally the Indian's votes.

The polar of voting patern between races is extremely unhealthy to construction of better society. Putting this into perspective, as it is, there are scums who incite racial hatred to earn political millege. The diversified support of BN and PR respectively and exclusively by Malay and Chinese provide nutrient for those pre-historical stone-age scumbags to hatch and grow.

If this polar of preference does not alter by next general election, we will see a majority government of Malay on the right of the Speaker, and a minority opposition of Chinese on the left. To aggravate the scenario, the Chinese based opposition seems to contend and confined with their wrestle with the Chinese based ruling party. The rampancy and overwhelming taking issues like Chinese schools, Chinese scholarship, Chinese temple do make (or portrait) them as Chinese party, not national party. Turning the Chinese based opposition into "Chindraft" is dire.

As a prerequisite of the intended revamp of our political landscape and structure, the majority of population, namely, the Malay must be ready. A picture of Malay as governer and Chinese as opposition would be as equal disastrous as the longevity of BN.

小皇帝日记

最近,小皇帝时常表现得非常霸道,对不喜欢的东西,不是“把它打掉”,就是“捉他到balai" . 那天,在槟城度假,就有值得记录的对话。

老婆 :“旸,你弄坏酒店的灯泡,uncle 不会再让你来holiday"
旸 :“不要Uncle. Uncle 坏蛋。捉他去balai polis"
我 :“旸,你以为你是内政部长,随便用ISA捉人”
老婆 : "旸,你最好别从政,不然你一定会滥用权力”

4岁的旸懂什么ISA, 滥用权力。。。

小皇帝日记(5)

才发现,原来最后一次写小皇帝已经是年多前的事了。今年四月,小皇帝就四岁了。有时看回小时的录影,回味小皇帝一天一天长大,从学习ABC到玩积木,从看书到跳舞,发现成长就是那么奇妙。看他哭,看他笑,看他发脾气,本身就是一种享受。身为父母,我们都不想错过第一时间见证他每一项新学习。

小皇帝越大越有乃母之风,睡觉前和起床后就说个不停。最近,还学会“耍手段”,告诉我们因为他肚子饿,所以要喝他的最爱“vitagen".

和一般小男孩一样,汽车是他的最爱。其中,警察车,消防车和救伤车更是他的爱妃,每晚非抱着睡不可。

如果大马皇家警察到处受人臭骂,自少他们还有小皇帝这一个粉丝。对多数陌生人都冷漠以对的他,对警察可是热情如火。老远看到他们会吵着和他们拍照。到截稿为止,他至少有不下十张和policeman的合照,拍照后还会主动说拜拜。老婆曾经说,如果皇家警察要找公关大使,小皇帝一定是不二人选,还可以免费帮他们宣传,再把他的profile送给IGP,博个奖学金。但想想,加入警队这大染缸,到底是让他更了解从小我们就想教育他的公正,爱心,分享,还是反之呢?希望小皇帝长大前,警队改革可以成功,让我们叶家捞个IGP来做做也是光宗耀祖。
