My dear fellow MyCard citizen

BBC News: Malaysian jailed for maid attacks

This is some of Malaysian's dirty secret that most rarely see in the newspaper and not to mention it in the international coverage. I'm not surprised at first when this case was exposed to the public as i heard some familiar incident before. It is really inhuman to abuse our pet animal and don't mention another human being. Malaysian has a bad track record in maid abuse cases and Indonesian government started to get very worried about their citizen.

I aware some of the inhuman treatment by my own fellow citizen towards the illegal and legal immigrant. We tend to look down and take opportunity on these people as it is our birth and citizenship rights to do so. I saw young illegal kids work in food shop and served food to kids that one and two years older than them. Some youngster was economically force to work as a maid in these early stages of their life and was left out their opportunity in education because their own and adopt country don't really care much.

There are some few good soul and organization that helping those people and making sure they got the fair treatment in this country that resulted to the greatest expose of the dark side of the maid abuser. I always wonder the hypocritical mind of my fellow citizen of their daily cost of living. One side they said, their income not enough even they earn around 4 or 5 figure salary but complaining giving their maid overpaid monthly salary on 3 figure salary. They can admire their own kids’ success in certain field and career and despite those immigrant successes in the same.

Nothing I can do to change this hypocritical situation that happening even the time you read this blog post. We're so advance in striving our civilization up to a highest and newest mark of excellence with criticize other country and nation brutality and unjust to their people but become ignorance of other difficulties and suffering that happen in our own back yard just because they are not our own fellow citizen.

Royale Invisible Resurrection

Malaysia Insider: Royal push for immunity

I feel goose bumps reading this headline in Malaysia Insider web news. It is an attempt by a royalty member to resurrect the immunity that was the birth rights of the royalty or monarchy members for long time ago until one case that ended their privileges all together for many sultans in Malaya.

It is not a surprise to anyone at this advocating by royalties because this will help them from many problem that themselves created by their own ignorance. It will be stupid if large portion of Malaysian support this immunity restoration to the royalty from all the monarchy states. We're not just restoring only one royal family, but few more that potentially can bring new problem to this new and modern society.

I find it disturbing that any idea of giving back immunity to the royalties was given chances to reconsider. Advocating from the royalties will be intense and big because they thought things can be back to old days and their ignorance and selfishness act to try to bargain with the people.

"The full immunity from civil and criminal proceedings should be reconsidered so that he is on par with other constitutional monarchs around the world…Royal immunity has been lost for 15 years. It needs to be reclaimed and reinstated so that the constitutional monarchy can be restored to its full sovereignty so as to play a more fitting role in the 21st century as a guardian of the Federal Constitution

Constitutional monarchy becomes irrelevant to the political and constitutional in this modern century. In the case of Nepal Monarchy, the people reject their existence due to their selfish act toward the people that bring the country to major conflict and internal civil war. The people are getting tired of the royalties’ impotence in solving the country problem until one incident that convinces the people that the monarchy should seize to exist. Nepal then becomes a republic nation.

All the members of royalties should understand that immunity to law not the bargain chip for guarding the federal constitution. Malaysia constitution is still being violated even before their birth right immunity stripped away. When the sabah's 20 point agreement was violated by some selfish and corrupted politician, did they say or do anything to guard the agreement and withhold the constitution that should be honored by the Malaya side of provinces. They do nothing and just are quite. Is being quite when the federal constitution was rapped so many times are the act of guarding the sovereignty and the constitution? They only just interested in guarding things that only bring benefits to themselves and their families.

Reading lots of headlines and cases that involved the member of monarchy in Malaysia, it strengthens the argument that immunity should not be given to any specific person and group in any hierarchy of the society. We complaining and despite that the American soldier in Iraq were immune to prosecution over anything they done during the war and how can in other hand accept the same that we hate.

Anyone can be Malaysia PM?

Non-Malay PM is possible but not multiracial party, says Dr M: Malaysian Insider

I read lots of strange headline and quote in online media and newspaper. Thou, I find this headline is the strangest of all. I don't really understand what our dear father meaning by just simply spitting out a redundant and meaningless word of wisdom for Malaysian to ponder. What does our dear father mean when a non Malay pm is possible but not multiracial party? I believe the thing that holding non Malay to take the top post in Malaysia government power post is the racial party and we need to get it over the racial line to be able to revolve to a new liberal rather than the conservative thinking that colonized our mind for more than 50 years.

"When you talk about a non-Malay PM, you are being racist, because you shouldn't ask the question whether a Malay or non-Malay can be PM. Here everyone can become Prime Minister, but he must be a leader of the majority party,"

When the black American talking about a black president, does this mean they are racist. Why we Malaysian cannot question the government whether a Malay or non Malay can be a PM or not when the chances of being a PM in Malaysia are based on the three racial parties that compromised on a unfair quota system and top post positioning. Who is to decide what is racist or not and what is the clear definition of a racist person? What are we talking about here?

"It doesn't work, every multiracial party is dominated by one race, like Gerakan and DAP. Even PAP in Singapore is not multiracial,"

I am so surprised with the fact twisting from our dear old father quote. It is true that the PAP of Singapore dominated by Chinese but it still respect some other minority race in their head of committee to make sure all people are represented and able to view their own different voices. I don't see any "mata sepet" and "kulit hitam" with a white dot in his or her head in the UMNO website committee page. At least the PAP got some other races as members and in top post even if they not the majority in their party. BN is a classical and ideal example of rule and divide concept to guarantee the power stay only to UMNO top high mile private club membership only. UMNO has evolve and become a cronyism party that hide behind the racial mask that only benefits certain circle of people and become so hard to access even for the Malay themselves.

"I can assure this is very difficult to handle. I have no confidence in Obama, what about Najib. This is too big for Obama and Najib. We need to change the system, to change the system, we need international cooperation,"

Changes is not easy, and nothing with good intention is easy because all the bad stuff glued so tight at something that pretty and beautiful last time. Thanks to our old dear father ignorance and failure to oversee the mess before it permanently become the life and living that eating inside out and slowly killing the nation and people. President-elect Obama not just gave hope to the American, but all the people around the world. He gave us Malaysian the inspiration that nothing is impossible. With a good plan and effort, all hurdle and barrier can be overcome and I hope that he will succeed in his plan not just to change America but the whole world. It might be a too high expectation from a person who just like you and me, but at least he proven to us that change is on progress. Malaysian can change too if we proven ourselves to be worthy as a leader and not just by compromised, quota and race. When everyone outside the nation move one step towards new idealism of change, we Malaysian still struggling to hold to the old ideology that withhold the nation to move along side with other nation.

President Elect Barack Obama Historical Speech

I envy you American. Click here for the speech transcript.

Some interesting quote:

#1

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

#2

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those -- to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

#3

Yes, we can!

Malaysian, can we?

OBAMA WON!

History was made in America, there are still hope for change in Malaysia and i believe it now.

Sabah God of Gambler back to political stage

NST: Former CM Osu makes comeback

I thought he gone for good in the political stages after a casino exposed his gambling habits and his misused power issuing the government state cheque to pay his debt loan.

KOTA KINABALU: Former Sabah chief minister Datuk Seri Osu Sukam, who was ordered by a United Kingdom court to settle RM7.14 million in gambling debts to two London casinos two years ago, could be making a comeback.

I don't really know if he paid all his debt back or not. It quite strange for the UMNO Secretary General Tengku Datuk Adnan Mansor clear the way for him to contest. The reason for approval to Osu because he only involved in civil case and not a criminal case. I don't really know how the UMNO people define their moral value, but i believe UMNO is a islamic party and gambling sure is a taboo for them. To have a leader with a gambling history in his record will be a bad selection as one can say, don't trust the gambler with your money.

He said Osu's eligibility had been in question because of a court case involving him. However, Adnan said since it was a civil case Osu should be eligible to contest the post on Nov. 8. "He is involved in a civil case and not a criminal case, so Osu can contest," he said.: Daily Express

It look like the UMNO leadership going so desperate and allowed the God of Gambler to contest to be the leader. It is up to the people of that division to decide if they want a leader with gambling habits to lead them in future. As well as let a child molester to be their son or daughter baby sitter or a robber a security job in your bank or jewelry store. I don't really know if the people are so messed up to make a good judgment on who qualify to be their leader, but a habit gambler that think he can be a leader in UMNO sure crazy to think he can get pass through this.

It looks like today Malaysian prone to elect leader that directly or indirectly has a bad criminal or civil record. The scary the record was, the higher you will achieve to the leadership ladder. Crazy and it only happen in Malaysia.
