Ye ke?

Baca blog Mazidulakma di sini  pasal pemerhatian beliau di Kelantan. Tak terkejut pun bila beliau merakamkan ketergamamannya

"Satu hari saya ternampak budak perempuan berseragam sekolah  masuk ke rumah  dengan 6 budak lelaki. Saya datang jumpa dan halau semua budak lelaki. Bila saya tanya umur, budak perempuan tu jawab, 12 tahun. Kemudian saya tanya, tak takut ke kalau kena 'main'? Dia jawab dah biasa, pecah dara dulu katanya, dia kena 'main' 7 lelaki. Lepas bersembang dan dia mula percaya dengan saya, dia mengaku datang ke rumah tu sebab nak 'main'. Dengan 6 lelaki sekaligus ke? Dia jawab, tak, dalam dua tiga orang lah. Dia kata dia ketagih 'main', kalau tak dapat dia gelisah dan kena cari juga lelaki nak main dengan dia"

Saya terdiam.

Tergamam."


Terbaca pulak rencana ini di Utusan Malaysia [rencana penuh di sini] pasal keluhan seorang remaja 12 tahun. Ingatkan isu yang sama dengan apa yang diutarakan Mazidul rupanya it's the other side of the coin.


Budak ini mengeluh kerana bosan tiada aktiviti masa cuti sekolah panjang dan menginginkan buku cerita untuk dibaca.


Rasa macam tak percaya di zaman ini ada budak umur 12 tahun mengeluh ingin baca buku cerita.


Memang tidak dinafikan apa yang dikatanya pasal perpustakaan sekolah. Selain dari kurang buku, masalah besar yang saya perhatikan ialah masa penggunaan perpustakaan.


Perpustakaan sekolah dibuka waktu sekolah sedangkan logiknya waktu pelajar di sekolah penuh dengan jadual waktu matapelajaran dari waktu mula sampai sehingga waktu balik dengan 15 minit waktu rehat.


Beratur di kantin untuk sepinggan mee goreng dan segelas sirap pun dah memakan keseluruhan 15 minit waktu rehat.


Bila kala seorang pelajar ada masa nak ke perpustakaan?


Siapa pulak yang jaga perpustakaan? Cikgu? Pustakawan? PAR?


Siapa pun ... masa tetap merupakan masalah.


Pilihan terbaik ialah perpustakaan awam.


Setahu saya kini banyak diirikan perpustakaan desa.


Ada juga perpustakaan bergerak.


Hendak seribu daya ...

MCMC - Errr! Say that again Mr Minister

The Star today reported [source]


THE price of netbooks under the 1Malaysia Netbooks Computer Initiative has been capped at RM1,000 each.


Information, Communications and Arts Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said the sum was not only for the computers, but also for the software and six months’ broadband subscription.


“The 1Malaysia computer programme was allocated RM1bil under the Universal Service Provider (USP) fund to supply one million computers to those deserving, as announced by the Prime Minister on March 24,” he said in a written reply to Wee Choo Keong (Ind-Wangsa Maju).


Dr Rais also said that as at Nov 3, RM11.05mil had been disbursed to the USP license holder under the first phase of the programme.

“As at Nov 2, the USP fund had RM4.53bil in cash reserves,” he added.


On 09/11/2010 NST ran this report [here]. 


CYBERJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) revealed yesterday how the RM4.15 billion Universal Service Provision (USP) fund was spent. The bulk was used for the purchase of netbooks.
USP division acting senior director Zulkarnain Mohd Yassin said RM1 billion was spent to buy the netbooks as MCMC could not achieve some of the fund's objectives.

The MCMC came under scrutiny as questions were raised over the use of RM1billion from the fund to finance the netbooks when the allocation was meant for developing infra/connectivity in underserved areas, especially rural areas.

USP-funded projects are related to communications and multimedia, such as basic telephony, cellular coverage, Community Broadband Centres (CBC), Community Broadband Libraries (CBL) and People's Internet Centres (PIR).
As at Sept 30, the cumulative contribution from eligible licensees to the USP fund stood at RM4.15 billion.

Of the total, RM629.23 million was for basic telephony, telecommunication towers for expansion of cellular coverage (RM1.87 billion), CBC and CBL (RM573.7 million), Mini CBC and PIR (RM10 million) and 1Malaysia netbooks (RM1 billion).

Another RM150 million was for the expansion of broadband network coverage areas to the communities surrounding CBCs and CBLs, while some RM520 million had been set aside for collective broadband network and Kampung WiFi.

Another RM40 million was for "other collective broadband network projects".

This will leave a cash balance of RM380 million by next year.

Earlier, MCMC chairman Tan Sri Khalid Ramli gave a welcome address, noting that there had been much interest generated in the press relating to its work as an industry developer and regulator of the communications and multimedia sector in the country.

He was at the briefing conducted by Zulkarnain but was absent during the question-and-answer session.

Zulkarnain said 123,000 netbooks had been distributed under the first phase (2002-2008).

The remaining 300,000 netbooks under the second phase (2009-2011) would be distributed from next month. Students and low-income earners are expected to receive them by February.

A netbook costs RM830, with an additional RM80 for installation of Microsoft software and another RM2 for anti-virus software.

The remaining allocation will be spent in the third phase, where some 500,000 netbooks will be bought.

The third phase will be launched after the study on the effectiveness of the project in the first two phases is completed.

Zulkarnain said suppliers had stated that there would be no hiccups in supplying some 100,000 units a month under the second phase.

He named well-known manufacturers such as Dell, Samsung, Acer and HP. It is understood that the netbook has been rebranded as Idola.

"Logistically, it may be difficult as it will be the school holidays and monsoon season, but we are confident of distributing some 100,000 machines every month and will complete the roll-out in three months."

He said the recipients would be thoroughly vetted, not only by government authorities but also by community leaders and MCMC officers.

About 60 per cent of the recipients will be secondary school and university students. The rest of the netbooks will go to those in the low-income group.

Flanked by four senior MCMC personnel who interjected every now and then, Zulkarnain stopped short of saying there was nothing MCMC could do to ensure recipients made good use of the netbooks instead of selling them for a quick buck.

There is a difference of the price reported. 

In thestar report, The Honourable Minister himself announced the price of the netbooks as RM1000 each including the software and six months broadband subscription. 

Earlier nst reported the netbooks cost RM830 plus RM80 for installation of MS software an RM2 for antivirus.

Doesn't tally.

And I am still waiting for telephone landline.

Pot calling kettle black

The Star carried out this article about a tussle between rival sides in Selangor DAP for control in all state party posts. [read here].


" ... the establishment group led by senior state exco member Teresa Kok held a open rally where her line-up, endorsed by the party’s top leadership, was made public at a dinner in Serdang.

Their rivals, a group of disgruntled veterans purportedly led by Selangor state assembly Speaker and Sungei Pinang assemblymen Teng Chang Khim and calling themselves the Justice and Reform Group, have mounted a challenge exploiting numerous issues to dethrone Teresa’s line-up."

What struck me is that these are the people who barked the loudest at what they call undemocratic practice by the government, used it to garner support and went on to wrestle five states from BN in the last general election.


The party's supremo father and son the advisor and secretary-general are backing up the establishment group and been calling up supporters and grassroots leaders to "preserve party unity".


“They urged delegates to see the larger picture and not get emotional and back the rebels ...” 


These people were never bothered at a larger picture where once Malaysia was on the way to the other side of development divide.


I prefer the Italian's version Il bue che dà del cornuto all'asino  ("The ox calling the donkey horned").

White Elephant

Just came across this issue on rocky's bru here.


Finally I am getting some answers to my wonderings here

I have stayed at my present location since 2003. 13 km away from the nearest town and I couldn't get landline telephone. 


Enquiries at the TELEKOM office yielded one answer - no line


Offered me CDMA. I took it and subcribed to internet. 


Fixed line wireless dial-up which afforded a connection at a speed of about 20 kbps 


Sometimes my internet bill ran up to RM700-RM800/month.


Couldn't afford it. Terminated CDMA after about 3 years subscription. 


I was "lucky" because Maxis build their tower about 5 km away.


Right away got myself a Samsung SGH-E590 [that was 2007] and subscribed to Maxis wireless broadband RM99/month unlimited access.


The phone gives me 486 kbps. 13 km away my friends enjoy 3G internet connection at less than half the price I am paying.


My niece received one of the MCMC'c RM1 billion netbook schema.


A pity really. She had to register with a Community Broaband Center to get the netbook running. Charged RM5. [Hmmm ... 1 million netbook x RM5 is a lot of RM]


Compulsory to pay RM20.00/month for 2 years to entahapakenama company. for internet connection.


Wonder beyond yonder! 


Where she is staying [which is 13 km from the nearest town] has NO basic telephony. No broadband no WiFi.


How can she get connected to the internet?


Her father bought a prepaid Digi wireless modem. Buy a RM5 credit and she can log on to her FB.


What the ***k is the RM20/month being paid to entahapakenama company?


Maybe someone should lodge a police report about this ...

Bagai Belanda Minta Tanah

Peribahasa tradisional Betawi yang dikiaskan kepada orang atau orang-orang yang licik dan serakah atau rakus. Diberi sedikit minta banyak, diberi banyak diambil semuanya. Ada dua versi cerita rakyat yang berkaitan dengan pepatah ini.

Versi pertama: Orang-orang Belanda minta izin memakai sebidang tanah. Mereka hendak mendirikan kantor dagang dengan minta tanah hanya seluas kulit sapi yang mereka bawa. Setelah mendapat izin, maka diukurlah tanah yang diminta oleh orang-orang Belanda itu. Panjang dan lebar tanah diukur dengan tali yang terbuat dari kulit sapi yang mereka bawa yang ukurannya tentu jauh berbeda.

Versi kedua: Orang-orang Belanda minta ijin mendirikan benteng mereka yang didirikan pada tiga tempat yang berjauhan letaknya. Benteng-benteng itu lalu diakui oleh Belanda sebagai tanah yang diberikan kepadanya, bahkan Belanda juga mengakui tanah yang luas itu sebagai hak miliknya. Cerita ini menunjukkan betapa licik dan serakahnya orang-orang Belanda. Diberi sedikit mereka mengambil banyak dan kemudian mengambil semuanya. [dari sini]

Penggunaan perkataan Belanda dalam peribahasa ini mengundang label rasis kepada penggunanya walaupun pilihan perkataan itu ada akar umbi nya.

Bagaimana pula bila ada sebahagian rakyat negara ini yang bukan setakat bermati matian mempertahankan sekolah vernakular, kini dengan nyaringnya mau kan pula supaya Bahasa Inggeris dijadikan bahasa rasmi kedua bagi P Pinang memandangkan ada keinginan menjadikan George Town satu bandar antarabangsa.

"Jagdeep Singh Deo (DAP-Datuk Keramat) said English was also important because it was the lingua franca in most countries of the world.

"I am not dismissing Bahasa Malaysia as the national language and official language of the country, but English is also important, and I ask the state government to consider making it the second official language in Penang," he said during the debate on the Supply Bill 2011 in the state assembly." [berita penuh di sini]

Agaknya peribahasa lama ini boleh diberi versi baru ... 'Bagai **** diberi kewarganegaraan'.

Dah hampir seminggu jemaah dubuk nih menayangkan warna sebenar mereka, hanya beberapa blog yang ambil 'pot'.

Mana pergi pejuang bangsa yang berguling guling mahukan PPSMI dimansuhkan?

Menyedihkan bila hanya seorang ahli akademik berani bersuara tentang ini. Mana perginya legislator yang makan gaji untuk menegakkan undang undang negara ini.

**Satu lagi hal yang menyebabkan telinga bernanah ialah bila ahli ahli sukan yang mewakili Malaysia ke sukan komonwel 2010 dan sukan Asia bertutur dalam bahasa Cina [tak tahu lah Mandarin ke Cantonese].

Wakil Malaysia. Untuk penonton Malaysia. Orang Malaysia ke?

SENGAL !!!

Pandai nyerrrr

Update. Read this statement from Rais Yatim

Ni yang buat den terbakar.


Sejak tahun 2002 den minta talian telefon ke rumah, TELEKOM jawab tak de 'line'.


Den tanya bila nak dapat line, TELEKOM jawab tak tahu bila, kena tunggu pembangunan infrastruktur.


Bulan lepas, tetiba je orang kampung den heboh bebudak sekolah dapat netbook percuma tapi wajib kena bayar langganan broadband [entah apa apa brand].


Anak sedara den ada sorang yang dapat netbook.


Malangnya tak dapat capai internet sebab TIADA talian telefon tetap. Harapkan wireless telco yang kelajuannya tak sampai 200kbps. Orang KL dah dapat guna 4G.


Tapi masih wajib bayar RM20 sebulan selama 2 tahun.


Pandai MCMC 'berniaga' tanpa modal.


Kalu gitu, den pun pandai!

Perhimpunan Agung UMNO (PAU)

[07/11/10 - Cik Nah, I lost my train of thought and have wrapped up this posting. Thanks for dropping by]


[27/10/10 - Alamak Cik Nah, tak siap jugak. Kena sambung besok lak kalu mood mai]


Mulanya malas nak peduli pasal PAU.


Frust sangat dengan bajet 2011. Apa yang Syed Akbar Ali tulis di sini memang masuk akal. Pengulas kedua posting itu menggelar bajet ni Harakiri politik. 


Blogger dinturtle ajak kawan dia ngamuk beradab [di sini] sepanjang PAU.

Update 02/11/10. Ada pulak posting yang mempertahankan Menara Warisan ni [di sini] dan posting di blog anak muda penuntut UIA ni pun menarik juga [di sini] terutamanya komen komen dari rakan rakan nya.

Den rasa nak 'teriak' mengenangkan nasib anak cucu den lepas ni.


Dah 50 tahun den hidup. Lahir di Kelantan tahun 1960. Susahnya hidup den masa bebudak. Ayah den jual ikan kat pasar di pekan kecil Pulai Chondong untuk menyara den lima beradik. Makan bercatu. Selalu rasa lapar. Togok air kosong antara dua keping biskut tawar [kecik dan keras - sekarang dah tak de biskut ni] cicah teh O untuk sarapan dengan sesenduk nasi berlaukkan seekor ikan kembung kecil dibahagi antara 5 beradik. Pergi sekolah jalan kaki je sebab dekat. Tak pernah bawak duit. Bekal pun tak sebab memang tak de makanan. Waktu rehat tak de lah beratur kat kantin. Nak main pun tak de mood sebab perut berkeroncong. Kekadang ada kawan bagi 'sedut' aiskrim Malaysia. Nikmat nya.


Umur 11 tahun pindah ke Pahang. Ayah den kerja kat kilang kelapa sawit pikul kayu getah hantar ke dandang untuk masak kelapa sawit dalam 'cages'. Gaji lapan ringgit sehari. Tolak EPF dan SOCSO [kerja kompeni orang putih everything is in order] tinggal dalam RM200 untuk menyara kami 6 beradik [den 7 beradik semua sekali. Sorang adik perempuan diambil pelihara oleh tok saudara masa Ma sakit kena operate waktu den umur 9 tahun. Dua orang adik lahir selepas pindah ke Pahang]. Berek semi-D 2-bilik, api elektrik dan air paip tidak dirawat disediakan majikan.


Susah hidup kat estet ni lain macam dari susah hidup di kampung. Masa duduk di kampung, pendapatan Baba tidak menentu. Susah nak makan sebab tak de duit nak beli. Duduk di estet pulak, Baba dibayar 2 kali sebulan ... minggu ketiga dapat 'pinjam' lebih kurang 1/3 pendapatan dan akhir minggu pertama bulan berikutnya dapat 'gaji'. 


Sudahlah susah sebab duit sikit, benda yang nak dibeli pula susah nak dapat. Teringat makan nasi berkuahkan kacang hijau yang direbus dengan serbuk kari berlaukkan ikan kering bakar. Itupun masak pakai kayu yang dikutip dari kebun getah berdekatan. Kalau tak sekolah, hari hari makan lempeng cicah gula berselang seli roti kering cicah teh O


Di kampung, sekolah dekat, kedai dekat, sedara mara ramai, jiran tetangga berlaga atap bertemu tangga.


Estet ni dalam hutan tempat jin bertendang. Kena menapak 3 km jalan tanah merah baru jumpa jalan raya. Sekali sekala lori tangki lalu, kenyang makan habuk. Lepas tu saling gelak tengok muka orang sebelah dah jadi macam tepung gomak. Paling lucu bulu mata jadi putih dan berat.


Kat estet tu tak de budak yang sebaya den pergi sekolah. Diaorang balik bersekolah di kampung. Sekolah paling dekat 6 km jaraknya dari estet. No public tranport. I trudged the distance to and from school with my elder brother. Selalu lewat sampai sekolah tapi cikgu tak pernah marah. Mungkin itu satu sebab den tak pernah segan nak ke sekolah. Kalau cikgu ikut peraturan dan mengambil tindakan setiap kali den lewat, kemungkinan besar den tak pergi sekolah dah. Terima kasih cikgu.


Kenkadang den pergi sekolah tumpang bas estet. Tapi kena kejar bas tu yang 'tidur' di kilang kelapa sawit tempat Baba kerja. Bas mula bergerak dari garaj jam 2.00 pagi. Den tidur awal dan bangun awal untuk naik bas. Zaman tu harga jam agak mahal bukan seperti sekarang sepuluh ringgit dah dapat jam dinding, dua puluh ringgit dapat jam tangan memacam pesen. 


Kami terlalu miskin untuk ada lampu picit. Harga dan jangka hayat bateri di luar capaian pendapatan Baba. Dari rumah nak naik bas estet tu, kena panjat jalan bukit kira kira 300 meter. Lorong kecil di celah pokok kelapa sawit  dengan semak samun di kiri kanan. Selalu terserempak ular tedung [memang dibiak kat estet untuk makan tikus yang merosakkan tuaian]. Den ngan Abang Long bawak pelita minyak tanah, panjat bukit kecil untuk tunggu bas kat jalan tanah merah jam 2.00 pagi. Naik bas sambung tidur sementara bas berpusing pusing mengambil pekerja di kawasan sekitar. Bas sampai kat sekolah jam 5.00 pagi. Pagar sekolah belum buka lagi. Den dan Abang Long serta tiga empat orang lagi rakan dari kampung berdekatan yang turut sama menumpang bas untuk ke sekolah menyusup bawah pagar ikut longkang untuk masuk kawasan sekolah. Bentang kain batik yang dibawa khas dan sambung tidur di koridor [kelas dikunci]. Jam 7.00 pagi jaga datang buka pintu pagar dan kelas. Kami bangun basuh muka dengan air bekalan sebab kat tandas memang tak ada air.


Begitu kitaran hidup den. Selalu juga tak ke sekolah sebab demam malaria. Teruk demam malaria ni. Mulanya badan menggigil kesejukan yang amat sangat hingga ke tulang hitam. Berlapis lapis selimut dan baju tebal pun tak berkesan. Lepas beberapa jam menggigil, badan jadi panas menyala nyala pulak. Rasa nak tanggal semua pakaian tapi tahu ajalah orang dedulu, kalau demam mesti berselimut supaya berpeluh dan cepat kebah. Jangan mimpi nak mandi lah. Kenkadang seminggu terus demam nya, kenkadang selang sehari. Naib baiknya pihak estet sediakan HA yang bagi kuinin. Pahit giler!


Update 22/10/10. Malaria mosquitoes are evolving into new species [read here]


Demam malaria menyebabkan limpa jadi bengkak dan perut kita jadi buncit. Keadaan tu kekal hingga kini [trying to explain my nine-month-pregnant stomach size - that is the swollen spleen plus kilograms of fat ... hehehe].


Tujuan den citer ni ialah untuk bandingkan keadaan den seorang ANAK JATI bumi ni yang memang tak de 'negeri' lain nak balik dah dengan anak anak buruh asing yang dah jadi warganegara tapi masih mengekalkan sekolah vernacular mereka sebab kononnya mereka nak balik 'negeri'; yang tinggal di bandar bandar dengan segala kemudahan: yang hari ini melalak lalak minta meritokrasi tapi jika kena posting ke kawasan pendalaman, sejuta enam alasan mereka. Sikap ultra kiasu mereka, satu dunia pun dah tahu. Hidup mereka hanya untuk makan. Rumah mereka tiada tingkap. Pesanan nenek moyang mereka ialah jika negara ini tidak cukup bagus, dapatkan pendidikan dan berhijrah ke tempat lain. Cari duit banyak banyak, makan kenyang kenyang. Bila ada malapetaka atau perang ... berduyun duyun mereka tinggalkan tempat ini. Cari tempat lain. 


Bukan den nak menabur bibit rasis. Sekadar meluahkan perasaan yang amat tertekan dengan apa yang sedang berlaku. Den ada merapu kat sini dan sini  tahun 2008. Lihat betapa tanggapan kaum Cina pada orang Melayu ...


“awak ingat sangat senang maa .. mahu cali luit? Kita olang Cina oo bukan selupa Melayu. Cina olang mau kelija pun susah. Lagi mau cali wang bayat itu lumah lagi … Melayu suma apa pun flee oo. Tak mau kelija pun tak apa … kelajaan kasi duit maa. . Melayu aa … belanak pun kelajaan kasi duit oo … betut bukan?”

“Uiks! Melayu mana beranak dapat duit?”

“tu .. kelija ofis punye … “


“Lagi aa … melayu mau meniaga pun senang ... kelajaan kasi luit …mau pinjam luit bank pun senang … tak payah cali gelento oo … tak baya pun tak ape … kelajaan kasi luit lagi …”


“Bukannn … olang cina maa … mau cali luit sendili… lagi sekolah pun sudah mau cali sendili … olang cina cali luit mahu kasi makan itu lumah, melayu cali luit sendili mau pakai saja … mau cali kelija pun tak susah … cina aa … sume pun mau cali sendili … bank pun tak mau kasi pinjam … ”


Hebat sungguh propaganda yang ditanam dalam benak kaum Cina yang dilahirkan di Malaysia ni. Siapa yang menanam propaganda begini? 


Kalau benar kerajaan Malaysia kasi duit buta buta pada orang Melayu, adakah den perlu bersusah payah untuk pergi sekolah dengan perut kosong turun dari rumah jam 2.00 pagi bersuluhkan pelita ayan naik bukit tunggu bas estet yang pusing keliling dua buah kampung pun belum jijak waktu subuh, tidur atas simen koridor sekolah sementara menunggu matahari terbit, sarapan dengan nasi sejuk berlaukkan ikan kering bakar sedangkan Cina yang lahir di Malaysia ni tinggal di bandar dengan api elektrik, air paip, klinik, sekolah, kedai gunting rambut semuanya mudah. Susah mereka ialah bila tak dapat makan KFC minum coca-cola, tak dapat pergi tuisyen, tak dapat belajar piano, tak dapat belajar berenang. Susah bagi mereka bila tak dapat memandu Mercedes atau paling kurang Camry.


Kalau lah den tak dapat pergi ke Sekolah Menengah Sains Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah [SEMSAS] pada tahun 1973 tu, yang kerajaan bina untuk membantu anak anak orang kampung macam den yang berhempas pulas untuk ke sekolah, rasanya masa den umur 12 tahun, den dah kawin sebab ada orang masuk minang. Baba suruh den berhenti sekolah sebab dia kata tak mampu. 


Apa pilihan yang den ada?


Den dapat masuk ke sekolah berasrama penuh dengan keputusan 3A 2B. Ramai rakan satu 'batch' yang dapat 5A terutamanya mereka yang bersekolah di bandar dan ibu bapa mereka berpelajaran. Omak den tak sekolah, baba den sekolah takat boleh membaca dan menulis sahaja.


Bayangkan kalau tiada sebarang dasar afirmatif, pastinya den tak merasa belajar di SEMSAS. Dan satu lagi yang pasti ialah SEMSAS dan yang sewaktu dengan nya tentu dipenuhi mereka yang dapat 5A dalam peperiksaan Penilaian darjah 5 [setara dengan UPSR kini]. Den dan rakan rakan senasib yang usahkan kelas tuisyen dan vitamin tambahan; soru pun kekadang miss, peparu lemas dengan habuk jalan tanah merah, perut buncit kerana kurang protin dan  parasit bawaan vektor yang bersarang: kami anak bumi ini yang sampai hari ini masih bertungkus lumus mengais pagi petang hanya mampu berputih mata meneguk air liur melihat mereka yang mengaku rakyat negara ini tapi masih tak boleh berbahasa kebangsaan melahap meratah segala hasil pembangunan dengan mendabik dada mengaku semua itu adalah hasil keringat mereka membayar cukai pendapatan.


Kedua dua anak den bersekolah di luar bandar dapat 5A dalam UPSR tapi tak berpeluang ke sekolah berasrama penuh. Tak dapat biasiswa walaupun kedua duanya skor 9A dalam PMR. Usahkan biasiswa, pinjaman buku teks pun tak dapat. PTPTN dapat separuh aja.


Pastinya bukan den sorang dari 60% Melayu dan Bumiputera rakyat negara ini yang mengalami keadaan begini.


Dah hampir 8 tahun den pindah ke Kampung Kool ni. Hingga saat ni den masih menunggu talian telefon tetap. Pernah den guna CDMA yang dibekalkan TM tapi tak larat den bayar bil dial up internet yang mencecah RM800 sebulan dengan capaian ngalahkan siput. Nasib baik Maxis pasang menara dia 4 km dari kampung Kool. Dapatlah tumpang jalur lebar Maxis tapi almaklum sajalah ... capaian tanpa wayar GPRS saja. Deme yang duduk kat bandar dapat 3G, den dalam bukit nih kena pusing keliling rumah untuk cari signal GPRS Maxis. Main Farmville pun bangkrap sebab tanaman tak dapat dituai kerana jalur lebar sering tersumbat.


Den hanya mampu menadah tangan memohon pada Ilahi agar anak cucu den dapat merasa nikmat kemajuan negara tercinta ini. Amin ya Rabbal 'alamin.

Time for Kit Kat

Phewww!


Berasap kepala mencari rasional kenapa kerajaan tak mampu bayar bonus tapi nak buat satu lagi mercu tanda.  Betul ke apa yang ditulis di Utusan Malaysia [sini]?


Came across this hilarious posting here which helps cool down my kepala berasap.

"KaBel In My Mind"
Pertama kali saya terbaca perkataan "jholowed" ini adalah di SINI.

"Maybe some people Jholowed them to him"

Jadi saya rasa enuf lah evidence yang Dato Sak adalah pereka-cipta pertama perkataan ini.

Saya tak "gheti" sangat pasal bajet, tapi saya berminat pasal Bahasa.

Saya ingin cuba nak cari definisi perkataan yang direka-cipta oleh Dato Sak ini. Yang ini okay tak kalau nak bayangkan definisinya?:-

Ada buah di luar pagar,
Ambil galah tolong jolokkan,
Ada bisnes hendak dikejar,
Cari kabel tolong "jholowed"kan.

Multiculturalism - Utter Failure

After 53 years, our attempts at becoming a melting pot of multiculturalism seems to be hitting a wall.


All the hard works at developing this beloved nation seems to have gone to waste.


I am feeling so desperately hopeless.


Feels like I am losing this motherland to the Malaysian Chinese. 


Read this today.


German Chancellor, Angela Merkel declares German multi-cultural society has failed. Her declaration is feeding a growing debate over how to deal with millions of foreigners who call Germany home.


Speaking to a gathering of young members of her conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party, Ms Merkel said  


"At the beginning of the 1960s our country called the foreign workers to come to Germany and now they live in our country," said Ms. Merkel at the event in Potsdam, near Berlin. "We kidded ourselves a while. We said: 'They won't stay, [after some time] they will be gone,' but this isn't reality. And of course, the approach [to build] a multicultural [society] and to live side by side and to enjoy each other ... has failed, utterly failed."


Note that the Germans have the luxury of "calling" the foreign workers to German to help develop the country. 


We didn't have such choice. 


Those colonialist masters brought foreign workers from China and India to help them PLUNDER the wealth of this country to take back to England. Like the Germans who said that the foreign worker wouldn't stay, the colonialist masters apparently had the same thought too. Hence the vernacular schools.


The difference is, the foreign workers in German who made the country 'more stupid' are poorly educated and unproductive Muslims with headscarves whereas the foreign workers in Malaysia are educated and rich and without their taxes, Malaysia would not have developed to where it is now.


TAIK KUCING!!!
