First Class Acts....Malaysia

These surely count as first class acts of our own....

1. "No, no...he didn't do it. How do you know? I just know." This coming from a man who spent 22 months in jail but got acquitted....who else if not ARB. So, he didn't do it...the other BIG fler also didn't do it. Now only left the 2 small fry(s) who did. And if that two small flers are found not guilty, the poor lady must've attached the C4 to herself and blew herself to smithereens.
   
2. Shah Rukh Khan't come...this land of ours is so hard up for his royal Shahness to come and set foot here. So much so that, second time around, his royal Shahness has the cheek to ask the CM to go to him instead. The latest report indicates that he most likely will not come at all. It was bad decision the first time around....second time proves us to be even bigger fools. What is the datukship to a megastar like the Shah? We seem to forget that we are just a small nation with nothing much to offer the rest of the world and we keep thinking that we are great.... Sigh! Could this be a ketuanan mentality also????
3. In Kedah, the MB is now embroiled in the Golf-gate thingy. Seems these supposedly non-worldly people are into this very worldly pleasure pursuit. Potholes are appearing everywhere on Alor Star roads now...repairs are slow in coming. Like the roads, their politics are also 'holey' but they don't seem to bother. Hearsay reports also indicate that the MB is very protocol conscious...highly unbecoming of a Godly man, don't you think so? Perhaps humility is not his regular cup of tea.
   
4. Then the PEMPENA thing. Ze Executive Chairman is a MCA fler... so money went missing, out of 24 companies under its wing, only 4 made profits.... no accountability, blah, blah. BN flers' own backyard also messy but they go round on their high and mighty attitude and points out the problems in Penang... which their buddies in BN are partly responsible. Opposition not doing right .... Gahmen any better?
5. Petrol price seems to be heading south still...don't know what constitutes rock bottom yet. It was below USD50 the last I checked. Bad times looming.... Tenaga used the petrol price increase to increase their tariffs... now that the petrol price is way lower than before, they say, oh...power production relies very little on oil. So why increase the tariffs in the first place? The IPPs are sucking them dry....but that's another story. Meanwhile, the man on the street pays.....
   

So, we bicker and embroil ourselves in petty issues while the world passes us by and we miss out on doing the right and good. We continue to segregate by race, divide and rule (Version 2). We continue to insist on the wrong old ways just because it suits us. We insist that all men are not born equal. Ponder then.... each and everyone of us is just a-passing through this earthly world... and if we believe in standing before the Almighty with our 'accounts' opened for accountability check at the Pearly Gates when the time of reckoning comes... then all these petty/big and selfish acts...surely they will guarantee a one way ticket to the deep abyss of the underworld.....

Most of us familiar with this.... faith or none, cos it's a proven scientific fact; we are dust and to dust we will return.

Update 24/11/08
It seems Shah Rukh 'Khan' come after all. In what is probably a face-saving effort, they managed to get him to come on the 6th Dec for his investiture in Malacca!
