A nation of cowards, a nation of fools
Posted by Raja Petra
Sunday, 30 December 2007
In all that has happened in our streets recently, and in the subsequent actions and statements of the Government and its officials, we can safely say that we are not prepared to engage in open debate about the problems that the people of this Nation are facing.
The calls for stability and moderation masks our fear to face homegrown problems with the maturity that a Nation of 50 years should possess. Instead we are more than happy to continue with our daily lives and push the problems to an indeterminate date in the future. Meanwhile the Government tries to window-dress the impact of the issues by throwing crumbs and making unofficial concessions in the hope of cooling frayed tempers down.
Cowards all of us, for being so willing to let our problems continue unsolved, so that they may one day be unceremoniously dumped on the laps of our children.
Each time we see a child, lets remember that we are the gutless wonders that hide our fears behind catch all phrases like "racial unity" and " public safety".
We are fools, because we believe that peace lies in the words of leaders and in the gavels of Judges.
Peace lies in concrete and long term solutions to the many ills that plague us, the greatest of which is our habit of choosing Leaders not based upon his intelligence ( Brain ) or courage ( Heart ) but rather by the colour of his skin.
We are the only Nation on this planet that values the dermis as a greater creation than the contents of the cranial and cardiac cavities, and they might as well be empty in our leaders and in all of us, for we use them but sparingly. Cheers and have a Happy New Year.

if you could read my diary....it'll read..........
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on
This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday
This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

between right and wrong
i felt love in its physical form, i especially miss her cuddling up to me while she sleeps. i especially miss having my arm that pillowed her head while she rests. i especially miss how she snuggles onto my chest after we've made love.
kids are brought up with the notion that being 'right' means getting rewards..and being 'wrong' means getting punished. religions instil the idea of heaven and hell....and the only admission into heaven is by being 'good', which also means you have no choice but be a person that does only the right things, otherwise you're heading to hell.
i dun commit myself to any religion. however, i am not an atheist. i just find that religions are man-made, ergo they are not perfect. i want a religion that's perfect, because i think god is perfect. well, almost every religion says that if you are not a believer of theirs, you're going to hell. well, looks like i am heading to hell. i better start liking sauna.
my point is this. this world that we live in is complex, is sophisticated, is full of crap. right and wrong is never a your choice to make. even if you could, a 'right' decision is never always right.
in reality, there is no right or wrong.......there is only 'should' or 'should not'. even in a relationship, this takes precedence over 'right' or 'wrong'.
here lies my biggest mistake. i made all the 'right' decisions.
q: is 100% commitment to your gf right or wrong?
a: yes...its right. so i did.
reality: you should not commit 100% because you need to have something left for yourself to fall back to.
q: is loving your gf more right or wrong?
a: yes...its the right thing to do, because i love her...and i expect to give nothing less. so i did.
reality: you should not love her more than you love yourself.
look who's laughing now?

i weep for malaysia....
what happened, is happening, and will continue to happen in our parliament if you people still vote for them currs, is despicable. it belittles the whole idea of democracy. it's completely appalling. it holds the intelligence of the people in contempt.
my dear friends.......my dear malaysians......open your eyes. the power to CHANGE malaysia for the better lies in your hands..........
below is an article taken from www.m2day.org , it is self explanatory.
12/12: Article 114 amended, Opposition MPs stage walkout
The Sun
The Dewan Rakyat approved by a two thirds majority a bill to amend Article 114 of the Federal Constitution today.
Opposition MPs from the DAP and PAS walked out of the august house in protest over the bill as well as the move by the government to arrest Coalition for Free and Fair Elections (Bersih) activists.
A total of 16 Opposition MPs out of the 19 present walked out. Datin Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (PKR-Permatang Pauh), who was not present, later said she was stuck in a traffic jam and supported the move and would have walked out if she was present.
The two other MPs absent were Ismail Noh (PAS-Pasir Mas) and Abdul Fatah Harun (PAS-Rantau Panjang).
The protesting MPs led by Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang walked out before the reply by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohd Nazri Abdul Aziz and the votes on the amendment were taken.
BN Chief Whip and Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Abdul Razak was present.
Lim, flanked by Opposition MPs and speaking to reporters in Parliament Lobby, said they walked out in protest of the amendment which "sees no significant reform on the electoral process in the country as well as over the arrest of more than 20 Bersih activists, particularly those arrested on the steps of Parliament".
He described the incident as not only the contempt of the police on the MPs but also on the Dewan Rakyat.
Salahuddin Ayub (PAS-Kubang Kerian) said the police action on the activists on the steps of Parliament should not have happened.
"Datuk Mustafa Ali did not take part in the Bersih gathering. He was invited by me to attend Parliament to witness the Constitutional amendment proceedings. We walked out to show that Parliament had lost its integrity,” said Salahuddin.
In a divisional vote adopted by the house after a day-long debate saw the motion to amend the Federal Constitution carried by a two-thirds majority.
The first round of voting at the policy stage saw 189 voting in favour, including sole Independent Sandakan MP Chong Hon Min. There was no vote against the bill due to the walkout.
A similar figure was carried at the policy stage, before the amendment was given a third reading and passed.
The amendment to Article 114 of the Federal Constitution was to increase the retirement age of the seven members of the Malaysian Election Commission from the current 65 to 66.

sharin and reventón..........gorgeous!
well, unfortunately sharin didn’t win the prestigious female magazine most gorgeous person title. sharin, you’re always gorgeous. i am surrounded by absolutely gorgeous people, what a blessing!
ok, reckon the organiser should create an award just for me. as i embarked on a 5 hours drive across treacherous terrains, laden with vile beasts from the abyss, just to attend the party! ahha......beat that!
crowd was great. i truly enjoyed the ambience.unlike any typical ah-beng ah-lian infested party scene. it was already 1030pm the time i got there. complimentary ticket says that winners would be crowned at 1100pm, so i gotta be quick. well, actually i was more like reluctant to pay the after 1100pm cover charge.
zouk kl.....
the top 10 were already parading on stage. i made my way to the bar to get my free drink (yeah....)....not knowing what drinks they offer (for free), even if they did tell, i wouldn’t know jack what goes into the drink/cocktail....so i acted cool, handed him a coupon, and said...”gimme anything...” . the bartender must’ve thought i was getting laid that night, and subsequently handed me a plastic cup with redbull and a shot. niiice.
i’m sure half of the population of beautiful people in kl were there! i felt outta place. i am cool, not hot.
when they crowned the most gorgeous guy to this overly shy hunk peter, i realised there was a bunch of gays just staring at him. just like how i would have my eyes glued to the image of marion caunter, or belinda chee, or jamie yeo, or lamborghini reventon. aaaahh.......imagine a lamborghini reventon in my possession.......
