We ‘lost’ the Batu Parliamentary seat after 24 years.
There must be some obvious person out there (or among us) who despite the explanation of the ‘leadership of the party’, still could not accept the fact that what has been a strong hold of Parti Gerakan (the constituency of Batu) for the past twenty odd years from 1986 to the present is now the ‘priced jewel’ in the hands of the “dictator of the pact”.
I’m glad somebody trumpeted the frustration that I’m feeling and it is clearly spelt out in the follwiong article:
During the last few days, a group of us in Gerakan National Youth made courtesy visits to some local print media/publishing houses. As it is still within the month of the festivity of Chinese New Year, we also brought along some mandarin oranges to celebrate the occassion with our journalist friends.
Among the topic that were raised and debated were: “What’s the future direction that Gerakan is going to take in the next 3 to 5 years?”
Some of the journalist also did interviews with us and below is an article piece we did on 3 March 2010 on what Gerakan should seriously consider or at least think about, less we be sweeped aside without knowing what hit us! Continue

A group of online-media journalist came to my Batu Service Centre Office sometime last week and did an extensive interview with me on the problems faced by the voters of Batu and other related issues, including a possible By-Election in Batu. I gave them a very open and honest answer and also included some of my thoughts on the development of the Youth Movement within Gerakan and other plans for the future.
I was told this will be the first installment of their recording and that the other clips will be uploaded soon when they are available. If you find this first part of the interview interesting, hope you will check in soon for the rest of the instalment.
Hope you dont find my ‘hair’ (in the interview) disturbing (my apologies) as in the midst of trying to give my full attention to the interview, I forgot to comb my hair … not that there’s much to comb actually!
The very Anti-Thesis of 1Malaysia … if there’s such a thing, we are beginning to wonder!
It takes years to build up goodwill, trust and a harmonious relationship. And all it takes is another ‘Special Officer’ to break all of that … in a couple of seconds!
Nasir Safar must be one of the ’least’ educated special officers from the PM’s Office. Never one to make any sense and now that he had opened his ‘golden’ mouth, the gems just came spilling out. And its not very nice to hear though! Continue

A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out ‘Ayah! Ayah!’.
As a result of that, his neighbour got very upset and sternly ticked him off, “Can you please tell your children not to call you ‘Ayah’ anymore?”
The man asked, “Why?” The neighbor retorted, “Because my children call me ’Ayah’ too, and they might get confused and mistaken you to be their father.”
Burial rites, religious ceremonies, name callings are meant for humans. Our Creator (All Praise to Him) couldn’t care less if you mispelt his name or couldn’t remember his name after a beer or two. Even if you were to keep repeating His name and walk out of a 32 storey building, you would still meet your fate, ala Teoh Beng Hock style.
So in the end, who has the last laugh, the Creator. He must be thinking, I gave all these two-legged creatures a brain and a heart and all they could use it for was to compete on who has the right to call my name … hello, anybody home!
