Why This Blog?


Why this blog? It occurred to me last night when I was driving back from Alor Setar, from a friend's wedding, back to KL. If a foreigner were to come to KL, all he had to do was to ride with me back home last night and he can see the many faces of the Malaysian drivers. Why do I always pick on drivers? Because its the most obvious outward expression of the backward state of Malaysian minds.

Highways have 3 lanes, the outer most one for the slow drivers, the middle one for the faster drivers and the inner most lane for the speed demons. Driving at 60 km/h is not considered a speed demon, although your car vibrates excessively!! Driving at 110km/h, although its the national speed limit, doesn't make you a speed demon. Driving at 140km/h and above does qualify you for the speed demon title.

Then why, oh why, do the small and slow drivers love to hog the fast lane and drive at their super-fast speed of 90 km/h!! Don't these people have some brains in them at all? If this is so, then the Malaysian education system has failed very badly when it produces human beings that cannot differentiate the difference between driving fast on a fast lane and driving slow on a fast lane.

Malaysians are a funny bunch. Funny because I don't have a nice word to describe all the fucked-up things they do in their daily lives.

They throw garbage out of their car and then reprimand someone else for doing so. They cant see the log in their eyes but can quickly and arrogantly see the tiniest speck in someone else's eye.

We have people who think their mightier than the rest. These people strut around behind their wealth and think this allows them to do whatsoever it pleases them. I pray these people will rot in hell and may their children bear all their sins while their still alive (no point in their children bearing the brunt of their parents sins when the parents are dead, isn't it? the parents must be able to see the consequences of their actions).

Malaysian politics is another venue where you can see greed at its best. The once mighty Barisan Nasional fell heavily and just managed to hold onto power by a small majority. And now their making life difficult for the people in Opposition held states in order to win back those states in the next election. And people being people, will surely opt for Barisan Nasional again as they think that the Pakatan led states have not provided them with a better alternative. So, unless the Pakatan led states can make people aware of this, there's no point in them making grand promises to over throw the government as this will not happen unless the people are happy with you. Don't count the chicks until the eggs are hatched. So Mr. Anwar Ibrahim, stop making false promises. Action speaks louder than words. Do it, like the Nike logo. Just do it Anwar, enough of cakap-cakap kosong.

So, now you know why this blog was started. It's for me to vent my frustration on the state of this country, world and universe.

You're most welcomed to let me know your grievance. Just drop me a mail and we'll take about it here.
