More craziness...

The news we make.....

1. No case against VK Linggam and co... how not to with so many prominent people suffering from amnesia. Well, the video was not proof enough I supposed as there was no proof that all the things said in it took place. Of course this is so unlike Tian Chua's trial for biting a policeman. In the video there was no clip of him biting the police but the magistrate believed it took place. Everything boleh??
2. Chua and Ong to kiss and make up for the party's sake. Ong allowed PKFZ scandal to be exposed. Chua Soi Lek exposed his promiscuity. Caught in the act, he still feels he has the credibility. MCA was already weakened but 'leaders' cannot seem to do the right thing... perhaps it should just be buried.. not just the differences between the 2 leaders but the whole party itself. Ong did good though in allowing the scandal to be unearthed. But for allowing it, his other partners in the unholy coalition wants him buried deep too.
3. Bagan Pinang remains with UMNO despite a by-election. You've got to wonder what kind of principles UMNO runs on. They found him guilty of corruption then said it was a technical thing. I guess in politics semua boleh... principles be damned!
   
4. The Scorpene-class submarines were not purchased via open tender as it would expose our country's defense secret. So what secret, huh? It is now known to the world that we bought the Scorpenes. But what we do know that some guy got to be the middleman. I wonder how much he was paid. And the Mongolian lady with her secret love interests and intrigues put us onto the world media very explosively... you can find her story in Wikipedia.
5. The Thai pathologist brought in to testify said Teoh Beng Hock's death was 80% homicide.... our pathologists say otherwise. If only we have a third eye which can see the unseen... I think we're likely to see a lot of muka merah padam. Do our pathologists follow their conscience or a prepared script? In a prepared script everything is pre-determined. So professionalism also be damned! What else is left that is not damned, huh? Conscience also gone, professionalism with it also.
   
6. 600 000 illegal immigrants in Sabah! It was alleged that one only needs to pay RM450 to be a voter in Sabah for these immigrants. Are the authorities so tak cekap and blind? So, who do you think these people vote? Over here, we also hear that it's easier for an Indonesian labourer to be a citizen than a professional from other countries! Easy votes? Anyway, crime rates have soared... who do you think contributed to it? So if you think corruption will not affect you and me? Think again....
7. Communal politics... a legacy from the Brits and kept still very much alive by BN. Malaysia is still very much a negara Melayu. To that end, we see religion, laws being bent to keep that notion alive. I thought religion is colourless but in Malaysia it seems religion does have a colour. Communal politics is after all about colours..... of the skin.
8. Year in year out, the Auditor General makes reports of mismanagement, wild expenses, waste and fraud. And we see the same response... sweep under the carpet. The Star just recently exposed the purchase of 2 laptops for more than RM80K! That amount can probably get the college 20 laptops! Maybe they forgot to add the zero behind the 2. So, will heads roll? Your guess is as good as mine. When corruption is the way to go, it's hard to see any other way.
   
9. Open tenders... recently it seemed one patented drug company lost their bid to a local company for a bid to supply a certain medicine by just 1 sen. Patented and generic... Oh the authorities acted very fair this round. But I think if you look into the generic company's ownership, we might find some very interesting details. Is the generic as good quality as the original? I have my reservations... anyway going by our Proton cars, would it be surprising if we are also getting inferior products. Medicine that don't quite work... possible, isn't it?
   

And this rambling comes just after one brief period of sitting at the comp.

So, I wonder if it's actually ringgit and sen that is in contention here. Cos they have made everyone bend in every direction and make strange bedfellows too. A quote from the Bible...

No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can not serve both God and Mammon. (Matthew 6:24)

And you think it doesn't concern us... this corruption thingy.... it does. It is ruinous to the country.. and don't we live here? Dang.....
