马华一厢情愿的“国阵精神”

国会解散了
这真是千呼万唤方始出来！首相终于在今天4月3日2013年宣布解散国会。国人在这一年多来不断的猜测到低几时宣布大选，猜来猜去竟然的就这样猜了一年多，总算在今天大家可以不用再猜了。究竟为何这一次我们的首相要等到那么迟，几乎是要在刚刚国会自动解散前才宣布解散国会呢？
针对这个情况基本上有几个说法。对于民联的支持者，他们认为首相是因为没有信心赢得大选，所以用‘拖’字诀尽量的苟残延喘，同时到处派钱收买人心。而对于国阵的支持者，他们却认为纳吉迟迟不肯大选是要拖垮民联，好迫使民联跟随中央的脚步一起解散并同步举行大选。
不管谁是谁非，只有纳吉自己知道。但这一届国会却创下了我国独立以来最长的一届国会，整整有4年11个月的任期，只差还有一个月就自动解散了。有人因此将纳吉比作为前英国首相布朗的处境。2010年，布朗由于迟迟不肯解散国会结果在执政后期变得非常被动，最后工党在大选时输了给保守党。
我国和英国一样，都是采用西敏制的国会选举，由多数议员选出内阁领导-首相。而首相的特权包括随时可以解散议会举行选举。这不像美国的总统制般，规定任期为4年，并在第4年的11月份的首个星期一的翌日举行总统选举。因此在西敏制的执政党拥有非常大的优势，因为首相可以在反对党还没有准备好的情况下出其不意的宣布解散国会并举行大选。而将此优势发挥得淋漓尽致的要首推前首相马哈迪。
纳吉相比历届首相也少了一个绝对的优势，就是在没有通过选举划分的情况下面对大选。如今再加上失去了宣布闪电大选的优势，纳吉想要在大选获得大胜看来是越来越困难。万一纳吉无法在13届大选获取比现在更好的成绩时，其命运也必将落的像阿都拉一样-下台。由此可见，来届大选一定是最激烈，同时也是最肮脏！
就在今天，纳吉透露民联策划在投票当日制造混乱。这会不会是纳吉预先准备当民联在投票日发现国阵使用许多肮脏手段后抗议而先下手为强呢？
接下来3-4个星期肯定是有史以来最紧张刺激的大选期。

马华的拉曼学院；蔡细历的阿Q精神！
70年代以前，马来西亚的华文教育体系尚完整。当时我们还有完整的华文中学体系，在半岛有69间华文中学。然而，《拉曼達立報告書》建議以单元教育为‘最终目标’并为<<1961年教育法令>>所接纳时，华文中学迎来了被改制的命运。
最终，在69间华文中学只有15间站稳立场拒绝接受改制，最后成为我们所熟悉的独中，而政府基本上是不承认独中为大马教育体系的一环。
当时的联邦政府为了贯彻‘最终目标’的单元主义教育政策，在1967年宣布只有持政府承认的中学文凭才可以出国升造。这样一来就断了独中生毕业后继续升造的机会。为了自救，董教总发起了申办独立大学的运动。
申办独大的呼声在华社一呼百应，筹款运动办的如火如荼。身为华社在内阁里的代表马华理应顺从民意，支持独大的申办；然而马华非但没有支持独大，反而当时的总会长陈修信还发表了‘铁树开花’的言论。(陈修信在刚刚结束的马华党争里，正是借助巫统的挺力支持逼走林苍佑。了解这段历史，不难明白为什么身为马华总会长的陈修信会为巫统的单元教育政策背书)。陈修信比喻要在马来西亚成立独大有如铁树开花般不可能！
此言论在当时激怒了整个华社。当年适逢69年大选年，马华为了按扶华社的情绪，就匆匆的成立了拉曼学院，希望以拉曼学院来代替独大的申办。
这就是拉曼学院的历史由来。拉曼学院代表了马华反对独大，选择折衷方案的政治产物。
这原本是代表著见证了马华出卖华社、政治无能的政治产物，到了21世纪竟然成为马华总会长蔡细历引以为荣的马华在教育界的贡献！
诚如蔡总所言，我们不否认这些年来拉曼学院的确培育了近20万的毕业生，但马华不应该以此居功，毕竟拉曼学院是以牺牲独大换回来的安慰奖。或者更应该说，如果马华不是无能无法对抗巫统的种族主义，这20万的毕业生应该毕业于几乎免费的国立大学，而不是自费还要是只是学院资格的拉曼学院了。
这种赔了夫人又折兵还要居功的态度，犹如放清兵入关还要当平西王的卖国贼吴三贵。难怪在人才外流的课题上，蔡细历竟然会以本地人才可以被外国所吸纳证明我国有一定的水准而自豪，这是典型的阿Q精神！

‘拖’字诀
又来耍太极！？！？！？之前还言之凿凿在两个星期内必定可以得到批准兴建关丹独中的准证，惟两个星期后不见下文就推说教育部长除外公干要等到其归来。
现在竟然改口风说马华不曾说过会在两个星期内获得兴建关丹独中的准证？
号称百万大党的马华怎么连要获得兴建一间独中的准证都那么难？昨天蔡细历不是还义正词严地说马华从建国开始就参与了制定国家政策的过程吗？
怎么现在连再普通不过要兴建一间学校也如此多灾多难？从一开始被揭发拥有‘共识’开始的盲目否认，到被自家人揭伤疤的“我还没有出世，所以不知道”，到现在自我否定，马华演的戏让大家实在看不下去了。
依我看来，马华是想用‘拖’字诀。把事情拖到大选前夕才来宣布政府批准复办独中然后趁机邀功；或者只批准临时准证以挟持华裔在大选的表现。总之华社出了马华这个败家子可谓家门不幸！

新年第一炮：玩马来一下
在国会走廊：
国安部长：我要郑重宣布，政府不会阻止那些抗议高庭对‘阿拉’判决的游行示威.
记者：政府一贯的立场不是都反对游行示威的吗？因为这不是我们的文化。
国安部长：我们不能阻止人民表达他们的感受.
记者：那为什么政府却不准‘反对ISA联盟’ 的集会呢？
国安部长：我要郑重宣布，政府不会阻止那些抗议高庭对‘阿拉’判决的游行示威.
记者：政府一贯的立场不是都反对游行示威的吗？因为这不是我们的文化。
国安部长：我们不能阻止人民表达他们的感受.
记者：那为什么政府却不准‘反对ISA联盟’ 的集会呢？
日落西山仿佛没有预测到记者会问这个问题。
国安部长：哼，前提是不能危害到国家安全
记者：怎么才算是危害到国家安全呢？
日落西山开始有点不耐烦了。
国安部长：哎，这些东西政府会决定的。
记者：反对ISA，要求干净与公正选举如何危害国家了？
国安部长：这...
记者：那些拿着牛头当街示威，发表充满挑拌性言论地为什么不会危害到国家安全呢？
国安部长: Err... 好啦好啦，我们今天只谈‘阿拉’ 的示威，不谈其他的示威。你们如果没有其他问题那么记者会就到此结束。
才在几个月前
KPI部长：国安部今年的KPI到达120%。堪称表现超膘，国之栋梁！
那么KPI部长自己的KPI呢？
在另一厢：
总检察长：我现在郑重宣布，警方已经调查完毕，战机引擎已证实被偷运往到南美洲国家了。我们将会提控两名分别是底阶级士兵与公司董事的嫌疑犯。必须强调的是，没有任何高级军官直接或间接涉及此案件。
记者：请问被偷运到南美洲的哪一个国家？
总检察长：乌拉圭。这很重要吗？
记者：听说南美洲国家人民的英语水准都不好，他们只讲当地的本土语言。仅仅只是底阶级士兵的如何与他们沟通? 交易是如何达成的？
总检察长：所以我们提控那位公司董事啊。
记者：What?
总检察长：oh...sorry sorry, 我的意思是那位公司董事是中间人。既然成为公司董事，英语水平自然了得。
记者：我们刚才是说南美洲国家人民的英语水准都不好，他们只讲当地的本土语言。
总检察长：啊？？？ Err... 我们今天只谈引擎不谈语文。如果你们没有其他问题，记者会到此结束。

我们是东方好莱坞
实在不明白为何大马无论是电影电视都不入流。
导演天天抱怨无法遇到好剧本根本就是荒谬绝伦的借口。
因为我们的国家天天都在上演精采绝伦的剧情。如果拍成电影或是电视剧，TVB 和好莱坞都要靠边站。而且部部都可以贴上“True Story” 。
不信？看看。。。
蒙古女郎炸尸案 - 美国的CSI不用来
巴拉失踪案 –TVB 的“人间蒸发” 没得来
细历光碟案 - 香港的“偷窥无罪” 光碟无人问津
巫统党选 - 香港电影“金钱帝国” 可以打包
霹雳变天 - 香港的“无间道” 靠边站
大马阿窿的故事 - 无线的“O记实录” 闪一边
PKFZ - 可以媲美“水门事件”
赵明福之死 - 无线的“法证先锋” 小儿科
如果大马好好发展影视业的话，我们绝对可以取代香港成为“东方好莱坞” 。
因为类似的情节还在不断的上演着。一部…一部…一部…接一部……
天理何在？
天底下有哪一个国家的反贪污局是可以在没有warrant情况下在他人办公室进出自如的？
天底下有哪一个国家的反贪污局是可以在没有warrant情况下扣留私人财务的？
天底下有哪一个国家的反贪污局是可以让人走进去却躺着出来的？
天底下有哪一个国家的反贪污局是可以说“我什么都不知道” ？
一个疑点重重的案件，再加上死者过两天就要和女友注册结婚了。任稍有头脑的人都知道他杀的可能性最大。可是今天一翻开报纸，警方竟然说会以自杀的方向调查！
天理何在？
炸尸案可以没有主谋，现在连人也可以无缘无故死在反贪局！
如果CSI和法证先锋来马取材，收视率肯定打破记录！
到底马来西亚还有法律吗？?

解读玛力勿莱州补选
回教党虽在刚结束的玛力勿莱州补选中取胜，可是却胜得非常狼狈。多数票从308大选的1352张多数票锐减到只有区区的65张多数票。对于这个成绩不能不说是预料之外。毕竟回教党在投票还没结束前就声称透过民意调查其候选人将以至少2000张多数票获胜。成绩出炉证明回教党的民意调查机构根本无法掌握民意。回教党务必检讨并找出源头为何调查会和实际民意相差那么远。毕竟民意掌握的准确度对竞选策略非常关键。
这次选举成绩所带来的涵义，基本上可以从3个层面去探讨。
首先，回巫密谈是否会在回教党内死灰复燃取决于回教党如何诠释这次的选举结果。
为什么回教党会在这个向来被视为堡垒区以及超过99%为马来选民的选区流失那么多的选票? 是否马来选民不满意回教党拒绝马来人大团结会谈所导致？是否马来选民希望发展? 还是巫统的金钱政治奏效？回教党内的亲巫统派系一定会抢诠释主导权。拒绝回巫密谈的Nik Aziz派系肯定会承受很大的压力。无论如何，Nik Aziz的威望一定会因为这次的选举而大打折扣。
其次，城市的马来选民是否已经转为支持巫统？
308大选国阵之所以惨败，最主要是因为城市的马来选民反国阵。城市的马来选民回到Kampung叫自己的家庭成员也反国阵，结果才有308大海啸。纳吉一上台，就通过EPU(Economy Planning Unit) 发出了很多很多的F级工程于马来承包商。城市的马来人也因此受惠。这会不会是城市的马来选民在这次补选中导向巫统的主要原因呢？
其三，霹雳州会不会宣布解散议会？会不会提早大选？
前一阵子就有传言说纳吉将会在玛力勿莱补选后宣布解散霹雳州议会以进行州选举。事实是否如此？我们应该很快就会知道。如果霹雳州举行选举不但可以被解读为国阵服从民意还政于民，还可以成为是否提早大选的试金石。如果还要更安全些，国阵大可制造一场混合选区的补选，看看民意是否真的归顺国阵再决定是否解散霹雳州议会也不迟。
补选成绩出炉后，纳吉表示虽然这场补选算是国阵在精神上的胜利，但绝对不能当作已经通过考验，必须谨慎行事。由此可见，纳吉是一个非常实际不会好高务远的首相。同时他也是一位可以为了选票而典当所有一切的首相。
最后，值得一提的是在补选后的第一天，大马股市创下了过去11个月以来的新高。这是否可以被解读为补选成绩受到市场的欢迎呢?

邓小平想，该问年纪了吧，回答：80（bus）
记者都说，这英语可以啊，不行，得问点难的不回答的，问：您认为台湾下任领导会是谁?
邓小平怎么都等不到翻译回来，不耐烦了，说：你等会（李登辉）
记者大吃一惊，这么敏感的问题也对答如流，估计翻译也该回来了，赶紧再问个：下个呢?
邓小平已经很不高兴了，说：随便啦（水扁啦）
这时候翻译已经走过来了，记者问最后一个：二十一世纪初期人类面临的最大问题是什么?
邓小平黑着脸说：啥事（SARS）
二十年后，美国记者感叹，邓小平真是一代伟人，料事如神！

Climate Change
Today, international action against climate change is urgent and imperative. There should be no more debate on the destructive impacts due to climate change as these shall be as unequivocal reality and beyond scientific doubt.
In order to mitigate climate change, we must reduce the emission of CO2 and this involves the choices of technology. Incentives shall be given by the authorities to the investors. Therefore, we can foresee that in the future more and more clean and green technology compliance products will be developed and promoted to the market. Company who do not adapt to this change of product roadmap will be outperformed and marginalized in the market.
CO2 emission quota will be tradeoff internationally. However, this measure will not abate climate change as countries that in need of bigger CO2 emission quota will trade with countries with less emission and continue to consume fossil fuel. Ethically, this is not a good practice as only rich countries consume energy as long as they pay to the poor. The effort to develop green technology will be unmotivated as well.
As for Malaysia, our palm oil export will be hit as higher environmental protection standards imposed by western countries like RSPO-Route Table on Sustainable Palm Oil. Unless Malaysia achieves the certificate or our palm oil will be boycott by the western buyers. Not only palm oil but other sectors like electronic and semiconductor manufacturing may face similar export requirements.
On the positive side, Malaysia economy could be stirred by producing plants that can be used to produce bio fuel in large scale. Private sector may invest in renewable energy development to provide clean and green technology compliance products to the market.
Save the world by combating climate change is not something insurmountable challenge. However, world leaders and policy makers must scrupulous toward the steps and measures.
The impacts on global economic of climate change are terrified. Countries whose economy heavily rely on agricultural production will be hit badly with the possibly of reduction in crop yields. In some African countries, for example, yields could decline by as much as 50% by 2020. As a result, the world may see price hike of food supply. The collateral effect will be political instability in third world countries where people suffer from expensive food end up in riots. Therefore climate change will precipitate what already weaken economy of these countries to the worst.
Climate change would also lead to increase water stress. Contaminated water resulted from flood not only affecting people daily life but also become the medium of pandemic diseases. The direct consequence will be increase cost of social welfare and public insurance. Not to mention that the economic losses due to damage on ecosystems, infrastructures, property and threat to life as a result of coastal flooding.
In order to mitigate climate change, we must reduce the emission of CO2 and this involves the choices of technology. Incentives shall be given by the authorities to the investors. Therefore, we can foresee that in the future more and more clean and green technology compliance products will be developed and promoted to the market. Company who do not adapt to this change of product roadmap will be outperformed and marginalized in the market.
CO2 emission quota will be tradeoff internationally. However, this measure will not abate climate change as countries that in need of bigger CO2 emission quota will trade with countries with less emission and continue to consume fossil fuel. Ethically, this is not a good practice as only rich countries consume energy as long as they pay to the poor. The effort to develop green technology will be unmotivated as well.
As for Malaysia, our palm oil export will be hit as higher environmental protection standards imposed by western countries like RSPO-Route Table on Sustainable Palm Oil. Unless Malaysia achieves the certificate or our palm oil will be boycott by the western buyers. Not only palm oil but other sectors like electronic and semiconductor manufacturing may face similar export requirements.
On the positive side, Malaysia economy could be stirred by producing plants that can be used to produce bio fuel in large scale. Private sector may invest in renewable energy development to provide clean and green technology compliance products to the market.
In retrospect, nothing has ever brought all human so close and so imperative together to combat a common problem than climate change. The United State, as the biggest CO2 emitter can no longer antagonistic in signing KYOTO protocol and should join the body soonest possible echoing Obama’s administration green policy.
Save the world by combating climate change is not something insurmountable challenge. However, world leaders and policy makers must scrupulous toward the steps and measures.
Developing countries must work hand in hand with developed countries without any prejudice and the later shall assist developing countries in term of monetary or green technology transfers.
In recent G8 summit held in Italy, the eight richest nations in the world first time have reached to a consensus to reduce worldwide emission by 50% in year 2050. Unfortunately, no concrete path has been outlined to address how this goal is to be achieved. BRIC-Brasil, Russia, India and China collaboration and cooperation must not only be confined in economic scale but also addressing climate change. Only an UNITED and UNDIVIDED world’s effort can possibly achieve victory in this war.
This is the war that will decide the destiny of our future generation.

Chua Says Pas-Umno Unity Talks Good For The People
PASIR PUTEH, June 20 (Bernama) -- MCA deputy president Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek said today the proposed unity government between PAS and Umno would help stabilise the country's political situation.
He said any party could discuss the issue of unity as it would benefit the people on the whole.
"We are confident that the talks would not affect unity among the races," he told reporters here.
The idea for a unity government between PAS and Umno was mooted by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang but was opposed by PAS spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat.
Chua said that the unity government was in line with the "1Malaysia" concept mooted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He refuted claims that the talks would only benefit the Malays, saying he was confident that the Barisan Nasional under the leadership of Najib would continue to practice power-sharing.
"We have been a partner in the BN since the past 52 years and we are confident that Umno is aware of its responsibility to the people of Malaysia," he said.--

Chua voices anxiety over PAS’ talks on unity gov
MUAR: The unity talks between Umno and PAS will not be healthy for the country if it is aimed at forming a Malay government, deputy MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said.
He said if the talks are aimed at setting up such a government between the two Malay parties, MCA too could hold talks with the opposition parties, including the DAP.
Speaking to reporters here, he said if Umno wanted to hold the talks with PAS, it should include other component parties in Barisan Nasional.
“I have said in Kelantan recently that if Umno and PAS hold unity talks towards forming a Malay government, then the MCA too can hold talks with the opposition, not only the DAP.
“But this would not be healthy for the country, which wants to adopt the 1Malaysia concept,” Dr Chua said after a meeting with Barisan Nasional leaders from the Muar and Bakri divisions yesterday.
Dr Chua, who is the Barisan Nasional co-ordinating committee chairman, said efforts were being carried out to regain all seats lost to the Opposition in the 12th general election.

Chua travelled from Kelantan to Johor then malacca on 19/6 to 21/6 as written in his blog .Looks like Chua gave different opinions on the same issue on two different occasions. And 1 month ago Chua just speculated the possibility of himself joining opposition and now he becomes the vanguard of UMNO. Bravo Chua

GoodBye to Christiano Ronaldo
The long transfer saga has eventually come to its end. Christiano Ronaldo-CR7 finally sealed his dream move to his childhood club REAL MADRID. He joined Man Utd in year 2001 from Portugal league as an unknown teenager. Many soccer pundits have raised their eye brows when Sir Alex Ferguson cash in the money received from David Beckham’s sale on the Portuguese winger. Now it proves the deal was a great investment.
Ronaldo was purchased at £12.24m and sold at £80m. He joined the club as unknown player and left the club as the FIFA World Footballer of the year. He has won all possible trophies in English Premier League with Man Utd with 1 FIFA World Club Cup, 1 Champions League Cup, 3 English Premier League titles, 2 FA Cups. He has proven himself in England soil and is looking forward to prove himself in Spanish Liga.
As a red devil fan, I welcome his departure. Ronaldo has been expressing his desire to move to REAL MADRID since more than 1 year ago and Man Utd is right to grant his wish at this lot of money.
We must give chance to the others like Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. Man Utd has been dominating English games for 3 years and we all understand that monopoly does not do any good to the games and therefore we are willingly to open up the competition by selling out our key player.
Whatsoever, Man Utd plays as a team and does not rely on individual player like Liverpool relies on Torres & Gerard, Arsenal relies on Fabregas and Chelsea relies on Frank Lampard. Certainly the departure of CR7 will cause an irreplaceable figure in the game but this will also give the opportunity to other youngsters like Nani, Tosic to shine.
Many Red Devil fans’ hearts were broken when David Beckham moved to Real Madrid 8 years ago. But soon he was forgotten after the arrival of Ronaldo. History seems repeats itself again when Ronaldo moves to the same destination and I believe he will be soon be forgotten when Man Utd keeps winning in the way they always do.
Goodbye Ronaldo! We see you in the champions league in Europe.

The Evolution of WEB 2.0 to social network
Many people may or may not aware that internet is undergoing quiet revolution on its own. The value and usability of internet has been elevated tremendously since the advent of WEB 2.0 .
What is WEB 2.0?
WEB 2.0 is the popular term for advance internet technology and application including blogs, wikis, RSS, and social book marking. It offers greater collaboration among internet users and other users, content providers and enterprises than WEB 1.0.
Many countries including Malaysia have benefited from the evolution where blog plays a major role in the making of 308 tsunami. Likewise, OBAMA has taken grassroots campaigning into the digital age by embrace WEB 2.0 and using it as a central platform of his presidency campaign. In fact, OBAMA turned WEB 2.0 into a major force in his campaign.
He utilizes the social network applications like FACEBOOK and MYSPACE to build his popularity among the youth and to promote his political view. In the past, American young voters might have been enthusiasm in campaigning but voter turnout has been poor. But Obama has been successfully turned around the trend by recorded the highest turnout in 40 years. Today, OBAMA has more than 1 mil contacts in facebook and myspace.
Communication has been always the key to winning. For Roosevet, it was radio. For the case of John F Kennedy, it was television. And for Barack Obama, it is social media.
And now we are seeing the next wave of revolution in web through TWITTER. Twitter-micro blogging on sms is gaining its popularity at huge momentum. Just yesterday, US government has urged Twitter to delay a planned maintenance outage because of the social blogging site’s use as a communications tool by Iranians following their disputed election.
Iran government has shut down other websites, cell phones, and newspapers. And twitter has become their communication tool to unfold the news to other people. Iranian people broadcast the news as what they seen in the rally and links to the photo taken at the scene. All of these are happening instantly via SMS and make it more difficult for the authority to control.
We anticipate Twitter to develop its influence to extend as blog does.

Influenza pandemic alert level 6
WHO elevated influenza pandemic alert level to 6 the highest possible alert level. Here is the definition:
Phase 6, the pandemic phase, is characterized by community level outbreaks in at least one other country in a different WHO region in addition to the criteria defined in Phase 5. Designation of this phase will indicate that a global pandemic is under way.
Click here to see the definition of Phase 5.
Based on WHO statistic, 30 000 AH1N1 confirmed cases have been reported in 74 countries. Unlike the seasonal influenza, the AH1N1 virus preferentially infects the younger people. Most of the confirmed cases have been found with people under 25 years old. However, most cases of severe and fatal infection have been in adult between ages 30 to 50 years.
WHO advises that the world now is at the start of the influenza pandemic.
The world should prepare to see further spread of cases in the near future. Countries where outbreaks have peaked should prepare for second wave of infection. Countries with no infection or few cases shall remain vigilant.
WHO will continuously in close contact with vaccines manufacturer to ensure the supply of vaccines at full capacity once they are available in months to come. No restriction on travel or borders closures is recommended.
