Sudah sekian lama saya berfikir untuk blog dalam Bahasa Melayu, akhirnya saya telah melakukannya..
Sempena Hari Kemerdekaan pada bulan Ogos ini, saya memutuskan untuk memaparkan pemikiran saya dalam Bahasa Melayu, untuk masukan ini sahaja..
Setelah 52 tahun kita mencapai kemerdekaan, isu-isu sensitif seperti isu perkauman, hak istimewa bumiputera, dan sebagainya..
Pernah sekali kaum Cina dihina sebagai pendatang asing oleh salah seorang wakil rakyat..
Pernah juga kaum Cina dituduh menghina agama Islam dalam pelbagai cara, bunyi azan terlalu kuat mahupun suatu organisasi Islam itu satu organisasi yang melampau (ekstrim)..
Saya sebagai orang Cina, tidak pun berasa apa-apa melalui tuduhan tersebut kerana semua itu menunjukkan pemikiran yang cetek daripada penuduh-penuduh and berkenaan..
Bukan saya hendak menuduh mereka pula tetapi kalau difikirkan dari aspek yang lain, dari aspek yang dikatakan begitu mulia, 1Malaysia, isu perkauman tidak harus dibangkitkan lagi, apatah lagi tuduhan-tuduhan yang melulu?
Saya bersekolah di sekolah kebangsaan dan telah memupuk persahabatan dengan murid-murid Melayu khususnya, di dalam kelas saya..Segalanya berjalan lancar, persahabatan yang tiada motif tertentu, begitu suci sekali..
Apa? Nak bahas pula bahawa isu kemelayuan tiada kaitan dengan isu Islam pula?
Saya faham juga serba sedikit mengenai hal Islam, dari sabar tu separuh dari iman (betul?), tiap-tiap malam selepas berbuka puasa adanya sembahyang terawikh, dan sebagainya..Amat umum sekali..
Kalau nak dibincangkan pasal isu Kartika jika dia patut disebat akibat meminum arak, saya tiada pandangan langsung..Itu adalah hukuman yang ditetapkan oleh Mahkamah Syariah..
Saya tidak tau langsung apa-apa tentang Undang-undang Syariah..Tetapi jika difikir dari pandangan seorang orang awam, hukuman sebatan terhadap kaum wanita hanya kerana meminum arak, adalah agak serius..
Itu pun boleh tahan lagi..Agaknya 6 sebatan kalau tak silap saya, jika nak dibandingkan dengan pemberita di salah satu negara di Timur Tengah yang dikatakan perlu menanggung hingga 3,000 sebatan kerana memakai seluar dan bukan pakaian menyerupai burqa..
Nampaknya, saya telah menyerong dari topik asal saya..Kita berbalik kepada 1Malaysia..
Bagaimanapun, konsep 1Malaysia hanya dapat direalisasikan jika pihak kerajaan memahami perkataan Malaysia tersebut..
Orang Malaysia merupakan suatu istilah yang ditujukan kepada setiap warganegara Malaysia..
Mengenai isu istilah BM, harus dipanggil Bahasa Melayu atau Bahasa Malaysia..
Pada firasat saya, isu ini adalah sia-sia sahaja..Ia tidak harus dibahas dengan begitu keras sekali..
Kalau nak diletakkan BM itu Bahasa Melayu, saya amat bersetuju kerana Bahasa Melayu itu dirujukkan sebagai satu bahasa rasmi, yang digunakan oleh orang Melayu..
Manakala Bahasa Malaysia, dirujukkan sebagai suatu bahasa rasmi yang digunakan oleh setiap warganegara Malaysia..Nak senang didengar, Bahasa Malaysia namanya..Nak serong sikit, bahasa rojak namanya..
Bahasa Malaysia merupakan bahasa yang diguna dan boleh difaham oleh setiap warganegara..Oleh itu, pada pendapat saya, Bahasa Malaysia boleh jadi penggabungan beberapa bahasa utama Malaysia, seperti berikut..
“Ah neh, kira..Teh O Ais satu, char kuey teow satu”..
Dalam ayat ini, ia telah memuatkan ketiga-tiga bahasa utama dalam Malaysia, iaitu Tamil, Cina, dan Melayu..
Itu merupakan satu contoh kasar yang dipinjam dari bahasa pasar..Bagaimana pula dengan penggunaan bahasa yang lebih formal?
Perkataan seperti ‘konsisten’..‘Konsisten’ merupakan adaptasi Bahasa Inggeris ‘consistent’ yang membawa maksud pelakasanaan sesuatu kerja yang melihatkan keputusan yang agak mantap dan selari dengan setiap keputusan-keputusan seseorang atau kumpulan..
Dari situ, perkataan ‘adaptasi’ pula adalah perkataan Inggeris ‘adaptation’ yang membawa maksud penyerapan seseorang, haiwan, alat, atau perkataan asing yang diubahsuai supaya disesuaikan dengan keadaan semasa..
Ada juga perkataan-perkataan seperti ‘komen’ (comment), ‘globalisasi’ (globalisation), ‘fermentasi’ (fermentation), ‘impak’ (impact), ‘implikasi’ (implication), ‘modenisasi’ (modernization), dan sebagainya..
Pada pendapat saya inilah yang dikatakan sebagai Bahasa Malaysia, penyerapan bahasa asing ke dalam Bahasa Melayu..
Perkataan-perkataan tersebut bukannya tiada perkataan Melayunya sendiri..‘Komen’ dalam Melayu adalah ‘cadangan’, ‘impak’ adalah ‘kesan’, ‘modenisasi’ adalah ‘permodenan’, dan sebagainya..
Mungkin perkataan seperti ‘globalisasi’ tiada perkataan akar yang digunakan dalam Bahasa Melayu, tetapi penyerapan ini saya tidak berapa setuju bahawa ia adalah Bahasa Melayu yang asli..
Jadi, apa kata kamu sekarang? Adakah Bahasa Melayu sama dengan Bahasa Malaysia? Saya rasa tidak..
Bagaimanapun, saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada warganegara Malaysia kerana dapat menyambut kemerdekaan untuk 52 tahun dan berharap Malaysia dapat menerajui era kegemilangan yang lebih baik daripada sekrang, terutama sekali isu perkauman..

Last Friday, 24th July 2009, was the day Juice Mag celebrated its 7th anniversary at Euphoria the Ministry of Sound, at Sunway..
Thanks to Jess for getting the VIP tix for us and I guess most of us enjoyed much of the free-flow of Chivas, Vodka, and Martell..
But the free-flow ended around 11pm..That’s the most frustrating part..Sigh..
Anyway, here’s a photo of some of us who went to the birthday party..
*The blogger bunch, photo by Howard*
Before I talk about the not-so-much details of the party, a rare incident happened to me on the upper floor where all the VIPs were..
Just as the event kickstarted, I was skodeng-ing from the VIP area on the 1st floor..
Then suddenly a Chinese, full dreadlock hairdo, tapped on my shoulder..I took a look at him, he smirked at me.To be polite, I smiled back..
Then, he rested his arm on my shoulder like how a good friend always do..I didn’t really care coz it actually scared me a bit wtf..
I couldn’t take it no more, I asked dreadlock with mustache guy “Are you Michael Cheang?”..Coz he really looked like Michael Cheang, minus the dreadlock..
So I thought Michael Cheang actually put on a wig and tried to scare me off..
Not long after that, he said, “Shit, I thought you are my friend~!!”..
And as alert as I am, I straight told him that I think I know who he’s talking about..So he continued to describe how his friend looks like and all..
In reply, I told him I know everything about it, as in how he looks like and how we both shared the same features, long hair, specky, averagely tall, and our face does look alike..
Yeah, he’s no other than Chi Minh (or something like that) whom I’ve blogged about not long ago about my “twin” brother..
I’ve heard of people mistaken him as me coz they were asking me whether I was there at that time or here at this time or some other places at some other times..
BUT, this was the very first time people mistaken me and him..This is such a rare case..
On a side note, I don’t know Chi Minh personally but I guess both of us actually acknowledged each other’s existence..LOL~!! Creepy? 
Ok that’s all I want to say regarding the rare incident..LOL..
*L>R - Joshua, Hikaru, Me, Ren*
With Joey G hosting for the night, it did get the crowd going with his awesome personae, and not to mention that the girls and gays go wild and gaga over him wtf..
There were performances like Adidas fashion show, DJ Goldfish, and few others whom I didn’t pay attention to..
Oh, and a bit of nipple slip from a female singer whom I didn’t even know her name..
Not to forget Chris Tock won a bottle of Absolut Vodka for Best Dressed..Besides that, PPC also won something in another contest but she’s just “one watch” shy to win a 3D2N trip to Langkawi..
Well, I guess that’s all I want to talk about the event coz after that it was all camwhoring with the party girls of Adele, Jacklyn, Bell, and their gang..
Much fun was after that at Ming Tien, with jokes from some crazy friends coz we were talking about roadblocks and all..
Police : Pergi mana?
Me : Depan..
Police : Dari mana?
Me : Belakang..
There were lots more that we couldn’t stop laughing while we were eating wtf..
But I guess that’s it..You need some Juice? *wriggle eyebrows*

If you’ve been following my Twitter and Plurk few days ago, I said that I’m down with sickness, running nose and sore throat, that’s on Sunday..
I’ve mild running nose since early last week and I didn’t even give a damn about it..
Not that I’m not afraid of A(H1N1) or whatsoever, but I believed in my body immune system, so there’s nothing to be afraid of..
But little did I know, I’ve been going to bed very late recently and that definitely hit me right in the face..
Not to mention I’ve been going to events and all, such as Juice Anniversary and Heineken Green Room..
Well anyway, when I got up on Monday morning, the sore throat is getting me a bit..Still, I didn’t give a damn about it, until after lunch..
Many friends on Twitter and Plurk asked me to go see the doctor or maybe a check up..
Monday morning, running nose and sore throat..After lunch, joint and muscle pain, slight dizziness, where I can feel my head is pumping faster than usual..
Near to dinner, I felt my body a bit heaty, a bit like feverish..So I took 2 pills of Panadol after dinner..
Midnight, nothing much happened..I even had supper of hotdog bun and a chicken pie..
Tuesday morning, heaty body and more running nose..So I decided to go see Dr. L somewhere in Cheras, a so-called family doctor ever since I was a baby..
So here’s something I want to share with you guys if you didn’t know..And congrats to those already know..
P/S - By the way, if not because of my finals is around the corner, I wouldn’t trouble myself to go to the clinic..
He asked me, “What happen?”..
I said, “I suspect myself for having H1N1″..
Dr. L continued, “Even if you suspect that but nothing i can do coz we are not running any test anymore”..
He says that, even if we go straight to Sungai Buloh, the main centre for H1N1 patients, they will not run a test for us too..
If you suspect yourself for contracted with H1N1, they will ask you STUPID questions..
They will ask, “Have you got in touch with people that is infected with H1N1?”..
Say if I were there, I will say, “I don’t know..I’ve been going out to events and uni in the past 1-week..So I’ve made contact with at least 3,000-5,000 people..How would I know if any of them is infected with H1N1?”..
The hospital authorities (Sg Buloh or maybe General Hospital) will say this to you, “Okay now you have to call each and everyone you’ve made contact with and double confirm whether they are infected with H1N1″..
How stupid this statement is..Make phone calls to the 3,000-5,000 people that I’ve made contact with..They got their doctorate with a brain in the ass or what?
Here’s one complaint letter from a The Star reader saying he was rejected to do the test if he’s infected with H1N1..
Okay, if I were to call all of my friends whom I’ve made contact with, definitely they didn’t have H1N1, or at least I think so, because they were out and all..
Say I’ve made contact with 200 of my friends..What about the remaining 2,800-4,800 people that I don’t know?
If there’s no definite confirmation that I’ve contacted people infected with H1N1, the hospitals will not admit nor run a test on self-suspect patients..
In this case, me..Unless, you are a high-risk groups such as children, pregnant women, elders, or something like that..
So Dr. L told me that he has to treat my illness as normal flu, as the symptoms for both normal flu and H1N1 is very very similar, except for vomiting and sudden change of body condition, such as appetite or something damn serious..
Well, I understand that the doctors cannot treat each and every flu patients as a suspect of H1N1 because if they do so, it will be very chaotic and all..
I even understand that for sure there will be shortage of work force in the hospitals if everyone were to suspect themselves for having H1N1..
I even mentioned earlier that I have confidence in my body immune system, where if you see the past death cases, it’s either involving young child, elders, or maybe people who is lacked of nutrient and all..
But now, they are not even running a test to check whether you are infected or not..
I would say to hell with all the newspaper headlines higlighting the current death toll in Malaysia has increased to 8 cases..
Coz being a Malaysian, it’s very normal that we get used to the Government’s order of, “It’s not serious yet..Wait til death toll up to 50 first” mentality..
Same goes to collapse of buildings, road accidents, and many other hot issues..
If you have flu, fever, sore throat, and muscle pain, just take panadols is sufficient enough, IMHO..
So, recover, or go die~!! ARGH~!!

I’m proud to be a Malaysian..Yes, I’m telling the truth, of course, minus all the corrupted authorities and our future leader, school bullies..
Back in 2006, I’ve blogged about the St. Joseph school bully all the way from Miri, Sarawak..
Then came the Singapore girl bully video few days after the St. Joseph mishap..
I don’t know whether the school children was trying to ride on the fame of instant hit via Youtube, another 2 clips unveiled days after that, again..
All these 3 incidents happened in 2006, within 1 week, that is..
I don’t remember any actions taken against the St. Joseph bullies as according to rumour, the parents of one of the bullies are gangster or some shit..
So I guess everything is covered up very well that it left no trace which I guess most people didn’t remeber a thing from it..Mind you, I still have that clip..
Early this year, Wingz told me something happened to his 7-year old son and it was quite serious shit..
Apparently, a classmate of Wingz’s son Lil Devil, wanted to take his pencil and Lil Devil didn’t let him take it..Then the alleged “bully” took his own pencil and poke Lil Devil’s left eye..
That incident left Lil Devil an eye with injured cornea, which could lead to blindness..What does the school authority did? I don’t know..
Fortunately Lil Devil is now recovered, what if he went blind and cuckoo? He’s just a 7-year old kid and just started his schooling days..He’s hot long way to go..
Just yesterday, another 2 serious school bully incident happened..Okay maybe there were others that led to death as well in the past 2 years but I got no motivation to blog about it..
The recent incident, a Form 4 student fell victim to school bullies last year and it was video recorded by one of the attackers..
The video has leaked out and it causes so-called trauma on the victim..
*Taken from The Star Online*
According to the news, the victim had been “harassed” by the bullies for quite some time..The victim also had lodged police reports as well as reported it to the school authority..
After the bullies found out that he reported to the authorites, they beat him up and that led to the recent surfaced video, which I’ve yet to watch it..
Worst of all, Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah said that although the school had summoned the culprits for questioning, no action had been taken..
Now don’t you love to live in Malaysia? You beat up a student, you get to escape the punishment..So you get to keep on bully again, again, and again..
So if the video clip hadn’t surfaced on Youtube or the Internet, the authorities will just remain silent on this matter?
After the clip is revealed, only they tried to take credits or take the blame by saying they are already doing their “job”?? Nonsense bullshit~!!!
Then another case, a 14-year-old boy is in a coma at the Penang Hospital after his classmate allegedly hit him on the head with a plastic water bottle..
The mother said she was told (by the doctor) her son suffered excessive internal bleeding in his brain and that his skull was cracked, which might end up partially paralysed or experience frequent fits as his brain had been badly damaged..
*Taken from The Star Online*
Well okay, I know the bottom of a plastic bottle is very hard, especially soft drink kinda bottles, where as mineral water type is a bit soft because most of it are now recyclable..
Okay this one might have been a bit accidental but anyway, this shows that friends shouldn’t act too harsh among friends..
On a side note, I still remember my time that a lot of Indian and Malay students liked to mock wrestling in the class..
Yes, with all the “choke slam“, “stunner“, and whatsoever finishing moves done by the pro wrestlers a.k.a Oscar-deserved-winner actors and actresses..
There were twice serious shits happened during my time and of course, the friend involved got so scared because a junior blacked-out after he choke-slammed the little guy or something..
But those are accidents where when you apply a bit of logical and sane thinking, you wouldn’t involve yourself in silly wrestling mock-ups..
As for real school bullies, I do believed at least 50% of them are real secret society a.k.a gangsters a.k.a triad gangs..
Therefore, they thought they have the upperhand and back ups..That’s how all the bullying started..
I wonder how long does the authorities, whether from the Education Ministry or PDRM or any other affiliated authority, needed to curb all these failures in our society..
It’s been quite some time since my last rant on current issues..It felt so good after doing so..
Now, do your part, lodge police reports, again and again until they take action..No one should get hurt in school because school SHOULD be the safest place for any child..
I’ll be the happiest man on Earth if all these fucktards are sent into rehabs or any jail or prison if it’s within the country’s jurisdiction, that is..
It’s where children learn things and gain knowledge, not to get hurt..Thank you..Sekian..

After much hiatus on political views, here I’m back with lots of new happenings in Malaysian politics..
The Barisan Nasional somehow “snatched” the Perak state and formed the State Government based on majority of MPs on both BN and Pakatan Rakyat’s side..
You can read the full chronology here on How the Perak State Government fell, taken from The Star Online..
BN claimed that Pakatan Rakyat (PR) has lost its majority because both BN and PR has 28 seats, while logically, PR only has 27 seats because the state assembly Speaker V. Sivakumar cannot cast a vote in the assembly..
Ok, it make sense, but, for the Speaker to ban the new MB, Datuk Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and his excos from the state assembly, by right BN has lost its majority as well..
Now, to dissolve the State Government and do a by-election for the whole Perak State would be the best move..
Well, IMHO, instead of trying to “snatch” the Perak State in such a manner, just go for a by-election and see what the rakyat wants..That’s the most fair and square method..
While PR claimed it’s unconstitutional for BN to form the State government and BN claimed that the Perak people is behind them, why not let the people themselves make the decision, once again..
I do believed the choice is in Perak people’s hands, instead of BN or PR scuffling for their own rights or whatsoever..
And IMHO if there is a state by-election, I reckon that PR would win with bigger margin compared to March 8th..
On Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong’s nude photos being circulated in the internet and news media, it’s such a bad thing to happen ever since Dr Chua Soi Lek’s sex video being circulated..
This time, it’s none other than Elizabeth Wong’s privacy being invaded in her house and it’s not any wrong-doing sex video or photos..
Where’s the law and order nowadays? MPs’ privacy or sex life is being made public and there’s nothing could be done on it..
And worst of all, the one people in BN that a lot of people hated, Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Khir Toyo has called for the resignation of Elizabeth Wong..
Other than that, there’s also Umno vice-president Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said Wong’s decision to resign was appropriate considering her standing in politics..
Then albeit all of the accusations on our soon-to-be Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s murder of Mongolian Altantuya Shariibuu, why he didn’t resign from his post?
He didn’t resign because he claimed that he’s not involved in the killing so he’s claiming that he’s innocent, although he’s in the limelight for more than 2 years..
So why Elizabeth Wong has to resign from her posts? She did nothing wrong and the culprit should be captured and heavy punishment should be taken against the culprit..
Even if she’s single or her nude photos being circulated, so what?? It’s her private life and she’s got her own privacy even though she’s an assemblyman..
For all those who acted like their never committed sin or have never involved in pre-marital sex before, you are just talking bullshit..The culprit should be captured instead of nailing Elizabeth Wong..
People have been gathering signatures to support Elizabeth Wong in this bad time and it’s the best support to let her know that she’s needed in the party and State Government..
*People gathering signature in support of Elizabeth Wong*
I wonder what would happened if a male MP’s nude photo of him in the shower is being leaked out..Resigning for such photos? Bad move I would say..
On the recent toll hike on 5 highways, namely North-South Expressway (PLUS), Sprint/Kerinchi/Damansara Link highways, Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Expressway (AKLEH), Sungai Besi Highway and the New Pantai Expressway (NPE)..
According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohammed said the increase was minimal and hoped the public understood that the increase was stipulated in the concession agreements that the government had signed..
He also said that, “The increase was actually due in January last year but we had postponed it until now. This means the government has been paying compensation for 14 months.”..
Since it’s already stated in the concession agreements, then could you please please please tell us how much more the Government have to pay those crony companies and WHEN you guys going to increase the price again..
It’s all in the agreement, just let us know it all..Transparency is all we need..WHEN and HOW MUCH is the question for the next toll hike..Isn’t it fair for us to be ready for the next hike??
I can already expect the usual answer from the Government..They will say it’s private and confidential or they will show us but have to wait for approval..
Then the waiting is long enough for people to forget bout the thing and they also never bother to show us anymore..I “love” the Government..
Now that lots of parties objected and and complained that the hike would burden the rakyat during this hardship of economic downturn, they have showed “sympathy” by holding the hike indefinitely..
I thought it’s already stated in the agreement that you have to increase the price? Can agreement be breached just like that? I “love” my Government once again..
Lastly, in Parliament over the scuffle between UMNO Youth members and some MPs of the Opposition party..
Although it wasn’t a nice sight for DAP chairman Karpal Singh to accuse UMNO Youth for sending live bullet to him without any concrete proof, the motive is there, following UMNO Youth members paraded in front of his office for several days..
Even if the UMNO Youth didn’t really do it, they should sove it in a manly way instead of scuffling in front of the Parliament harrassing a wheelchair-bound person..
And yes, the UMNO Youth claimed they didn’t even touch Karpal Singh..
Worst of all, the most disgusting scene, not UMNO Youth trying to harrass Karpal Singh, nor Karpal Singh hurled the word “celaka” at UMNO Youth members, but it’s the securities of Parliament..
During the commotion, Batu Gajah MP Fong Po Kuan shouted, “Where is security? Where is security?” and a reply was heard, “We only jaga (look after) inside (Parliament), not outside.”..
What an ethical security we have..They ONLY take care of things/areas under they control, and NOT things in front of them..
I wonder what they would do if a MP is gunned down outside Parliament..Guess they will just live them lying around doing nothing..
How can security of Parliament, letting the country’s MPs being harrassed right in front of the Parliament???
I guess that’s why they are security..If they were smarter they wouldn’t be a security in the first place..Bravo bravo *applause*..
I reckon that if all these stupid unnecessary issues is ever to happen again the current Government might lost its 2/3 majority or even the Government to the Opposition party..
MAKKAL SAKTHI~!!
