APPALLING REALITIES

1.        It has been quite some time since my last posting. Some might say that this blog has gone inactive. There was a comment from a viewer suggesting that I make updates on this blog .I ‘ve never thought this blog would capture attention from anyone at all.  I just believe that on this blog , I write my humble thoughts and ideas. Truly, I don’t expect people to follow them. 2.        During this “inactive” period, I occupied myself with programs and activities which I hoped would benefit people. During my small campaign for UMNO Divisional Election a year ago, I spoke of the elected committee should not sit idly on their titles but to strive and create activities that would benefit the communities. I also said that I was sick and tired of countless hours sitting at Mamak Restaurant lamenting about this, about that and what UMNO should do and finally ended up doing nothing! This is called the NATO culture (No Action Talk Only) and seemingly this culture has rooted deeply i

Should we feel proud or should we feel sorry…..?

1.     This evening I had coffee with a friend from the Social &Welfare Department. He said he was just on his way home from Kuala Pilah, attending Dato’ Norhayati (State Exco for welfare and women affairs) function. I asked him about the function he attended and that triggered a long chat about the function. 2.        According to him, Dato’ Norhayati speech touched about what the State Government had done for people’s benefits. One of them was widening up the Social Security Net (SSN) so that more poor people could be grope in to receive monthly give outs from the Social &Welfare Department. According to Dato’ Norhayati this shows the State is stable and prosperous. Widening up the SSN is a State initiative so that more people will benefit. 3.     What Dato’ Norhayati said in her speech was actually a mere repetition of what Menteri Besar always said in his speech. According to my friend, Negeri Sembilan is on top of the list for having the most number of recipients

KANGKUNG DULU NAIK SEKARANG TURUN……….

Ha ha ha …..! Lucu juga bila bait ucapan Menteri Perdana dijadikan bahan lelucuan. Ada di buat dalam bentuk grafik ada juga yang dibuat dalam bentuk muzik “remix”. Semuanya boleh dilihat dalam alam maya dan bak kata mat saleh .. It has gone viral! LOL! Dalam rakyat meredah cabaran dek kenaikan kos sara hidup, apa sahaja yang dicakapkan oleh pak-pak menteri menjadi tumpuan. Di sudut hati rakyat , mereka berharap dan menanti-nantikan Pak-Pak Menteri berkata sesuatu yang melegakan mereka. Contohnya harga minyak diturunkan ke, rebat TNB di perluaskan ke. Kenapa perlu sebut pasal kangkung? Apa siknifikan harga kangkung yang perlu di sebut? Apakah mungkin hidangan sotong kangkung turun harga selepas ini? Pak –Pak Menteri ini seharusnya berhati-hati berkata semasa berucap atau ketika ditemu ramah oleh wartawan. Semua ingat pasal kata-kata “Kalau  harga ayam mahal, makanlah ikan atau daging! Kalau harga tol tinggi gunalah jalan lama! Sekarang ni cerita kangkung pulak! Entah a

1.     Tahun 2014 telah diisytiharkan secara rasminya semalam oleh TS Muhydin sebagai Tahun Melawat Malaysia (TMM) dengan slogan Celebrating 1 Malaysia, Truly Asia . TS Muhydin dalam ucapannya yakin TMM 2014 berupaya menjadi pemangkin kepada perkembangan industri pelancongan di negara ini dengan mensasarkan kemasukan sebanyak RM 76 billion dengan jangkaan kemasukan pelancong ke negara ini seramai 28 juta orang. 2.     Bagaimana aktiviti  pelancongan boleh dilihat sebagai salah satu bentuk industri di negara ini? Mudah sahaja. Jika ada 1 juta pelancong datang ke negara kita dan membelanjakan purata RM 50.00 seorang di Malaysia, bermakna duit sebanyak RM 50 juta telah mengalir masuk dan telah dijanakan di Malaysia yang boleh dikongsi oleh peniaga atau penyedia perkhidmatan yang di beli atau digunakan oleh pelancong-pelancong tersebut. Seterusnya peniaga atau penyedia menggunakan wang tersebut untuk membeli barang dari peniaga lain atau membayar  gaji atau upah pekerja, maka di sini
