I have been terribly frustrated with some of the current issues in Malaysia. First, the Auditor-General’s Report 2006 outlined that ministries have been overspending with public funds. Including:
set of screwdrivers(brand unknown) for RM224, which only worths RM34 per set on the market.
Faber Castell Technical Pens for RM1,147 per set, which only worths RM160 per set on the market.
2 Tonnes Car Jack for RM5,741 per set, which only worths RM50 per set on the market.
These are no lies, though administration tends to label bloggers as liars. These report are from Auditor-General Malaysia(JABATAN AUDIT NEGARA MALAYSIA). I’m not in the mood to tell you more about this, please download and read the reports yourself.(In Bahasa Malaysia). More news on the TheStar Malaysia
Fellow Malaysians, Happy National Day to you all, for today is our country’s 50th year of independence. Are you satisfied with our country’s performance? Are you proud of our country’s achievements so far?
Most of my friends went for vacations, to Thailand, Singapore and some went to Hongkong. I have been staying at home today, had a mahjong session with my parents this afternoon, and rest of the time was spent thinking.
Young generation born around 1980’s in Malaysia, has seemed care less about the country. You can talk with them about latest movies, bistros, gadgets, cars, fashions, celebrities, or anything else, but not current issues in the country. Most of them will not have a clue about what’s really going on, even though they read newspapers, listen or watch news everyday. The traditional medias in this country have lost their credibility, heavily censored by the authority.
This is my second post regarding this incident. I have previously posted an entry here. Rocky a.k.a Ahirudin Atan has made his appearance on court, and this is what he’s posted in his blog.
“That the parties agree to henceforth not publish any article, comment or post regarding the dispute presently before the High Court in this action that may be regarded as sub judice or that may prejudice the fair trial of the action.”
Hm, how to put this? As a Malaysian, how do you think of law system in the country? In term of “not stirring the water again”, let’s just wait and see. Keep your eyes sharp, and your mind true. Kean-Jin Lim is keeping a long list of “What bloggers have to say“, you might get different ideas there.
Finally I’m back, thanks to whoever made this happened. First, my internet connection was down for 2 weeks, due to the major flood during December 2006 in my beloved country, Malaysia. Some random pictures as followings, taken from TheStar Gallery
