Govt wants to name and shame errant officers, staff

KUALA LUMPUR: The government proposes to publish in local newspapers, the names of government officers and staff against whom disciplinary action was taken for misuse of power and other offences, the Dewan Rakyat was told on Thursday… read more

Good. because the other day, some police officer forbid my husband to wait in front of the airport in the car. BUT let a government car park at the yellow line. My husband of course pointed that out. and the police officer simply said “that’s different. that’s government.” so now they have double standard eh?

so my husband jotted down his name and his police number. if that officer is lucky his name will be published soon!

anyway, speaking about our lame police, i saw on the news today, that the police chief are complaining that even though there are about 76000 police force in Malaysia, since the populations are increasing so is the crime rate. true, true… they cannot handle it all, what with the borders and smuggling and drugs and such. and they are asking more funding from the government so they can recruit more officers. Good.

but.

the existing police doesn’t do their job well enough that it is so easy to become a criminal and get away with it.
1. you wont get caught if not caught red handed
2. there are a lot of traders out there that you can sell your ‘goods’ too. and those traders are not penalized. if there are no demands of such things, the motivation to steal trivial stuff will be gone too. but since you can sell whatever you stole… including birds and cats and other pets… its a way to make a living since it is so hard to find jobs nowadays and it is the easier solutions since our police are wimps.

so what? is recruiting more wimps will solve the rising crime rates? They should be a more effective police eradicating trivial crimes first. then will they have the ability to solve murders and such. if you cant solve petty crimes. if its so easy to steal and get away with it, whats with murder? and rape? and kidnapping? and God knows whatever else?

i will never forget how a police officer asked us to go back to sleep when the thief is still in our backyard at four in the morning! and get back to us to do some ‘investigating’ like taking fingerprints at 8pm! like, 16 hours later? wtf?!! and then complained we have cleaned up the evidence. wtf? wtf?!!

in the end it is Quality versus Quantity.

the anti government protest in Thailand forces almost all the airport to close. now this may sound trivial to those staying at home but for travelers, and overseas workers trying to get home this is a night mare.

is this fair? a friend of mine is trying to get back home to Thailand 2 days ago, carrying the body of his deceased friend. a friend that grew up with him, his flat mate, work partner, very close brother-like relationship. All his family members are waiting for them to come and there was a riot at Bangkok airport. i don’t know til now what to become of his journey home since his phone battery went dead and he haven’t call to confirm of his whereabout. whether still stranded in KL.. or safely home. who’s to know?

so… protest to the government with violence? its not going to solve anything. and its not fair to a lot of people. like my friend. trying to bring home a body for a proper funeral. So for those who wanted to protest the government.. do it peacefully… and definitely NOT naked.

hari ni saya nak cakap melayu… harap2 tak jadi macam Sh.Armani la plak.. memang “i feel silly when i speak malay” sebab saya lagi petah cakap melayu srawak. kengkawan masa kat kampus dolu pon salu gelak kat saya cakap melayu ni.. cakap melayu bukan bahasa kebangsaan punye lah ye.. blog ni bukan nya buku teks.

lagi satu orang kita nie mudah sangat nak percaya cerita karut marut.. agak nye kenapa ek? banyak sangat nengok cerita dongeng kat tivi ka? cerita pasa Razak Baginda punya la hebat skandal nya… kes bunuh, TPM terlibat sama. Isteri TPM yang rancang dan bla bla bla… anda boleh baca abe mie nye cerita kat sini.

bila dah baca semua tu.. rasa cem lepas baca novel misteri penyiasat. punya la hebat-hebat di luar dugaan tuduhan demi tuduhan yang di lemparkan. kalau la Razak Baginda memang seorang yang cerdik, merancang pembunuhan Altantuya… mengapa dibunuh dengan sedemikian ‘hebat’ nye. bubuh je racun tikus. pi sorok dlm hutan mana kat mesia nie.. mana polis nak carik… sedangkan pencuri yang hisap gam lagi polis tak larat nak carik. tu la kalau die cerdik la.

yang hairan bin ajaib nye… macam mane la polis yang tak bleh nak tangkap pencuri yang tgh high dengan dadah, boleh plak jumpa mayat Altantuya yang dah hancur berkecai di tengah-tengah hutan belantara?! Setau saya, nak cari pencuri nyorok dalam semak pun dieorang tak larat…

tu je yang saya nak persoal kan. seolah-olah RB kene frame oleh seseorang. tapi tak tau le sapa. dah mainan politik kan. kita orang orang kecil nie dok sibuk risau dengan pencuri haprak je. yang depa kat atas nu dok sibok nak jadi PM. ntah ape2 la. takde orang lain ke nak jadi PM? Tun tak nak jadi PM lagi ke? dah serabut serabai dah negara kita nie.

ntah sape la yang boleh leraikan kekusutan nie. apa yang rakyat dapat hasil dari perebutan kuasa BR dengan BN? yang satu janji itu ini. yang satu lagi selama ni “take for granted” je. dah kalah baru nak gelabah. tapi, kalau nak pilih antara dua, baik pilih BN kan? sekurang-kurang nya adat tatatertib negara masih lagi di pertahan kan. takde la nak buat demonstrasi bogel ke ape ker…

saja je nak ngomel-ngomel mengeluh kesah hari ni. penat je baca cerita karut marut yang bermotifkan propaganda politik. benda kecik kecik macam pencuri yang semakin tumbuh macam cendawan takde sapa nak hirau pun? kan? kan?

i was browsing around my friends pictures on facebook. some made me laugh, some made me smile… and then a friend of mine text me saying that my x-file has a facebook profile too! whoa! i thought he hated internet and such… certainly his wife does changed him in a positive way. good for them!

anyway, looking at the couples picture made me realized that my hubby and me had not taken picture of us much. us as a couple. not very much. it seems we are too besotted by our little angel that we totally didn’t think about it.

my hubby is not the sort who’d want his pictures on facebook or friendster… nya pengingga nak mati leput. and so was i pre-facebook. my friendster profile is splashed with my cats pictures. and padme amidala… never cared to put my own name or my own picture. was too ingga to do so. but since facebook, i had to put my own pics and my own name so that long lost friends and relatives will recognize me. and then Intan (my beloved cousin) broke the ice. she uploaded my pic with hubby. and then i begin to include some of his pics with our son.. ngehehee…

and the same goes with this blog. initially when i know nobody will really read my blog, i would just write write and write whatever comes to mind and it was easy back then. and then i saw somebody linked my blog to theirs and i began to feel so conscious of my own writing. and so my posts became so much more rigid. i began to hide myself again. and writing a post becomes harder. but i still keep at it. just enough to keep it alive. and i think now it becomes so boring that nobody will really read it, i have more courage to write.

what am i afraid of i wonder? hrmm… thinking about it now… it freaks me out to know that you, my dear readers, knows me but i won’t know you. except for few who graced me with your comments. and part of the big reason for me to keep this blog alive is my students, who loves to drop by and chat here. its been a pleasure having you guys around. ah… back to topic. the thing is, it is sooo hard to take pics of my hubby and me. i don’t know why. can’t pinpoint other reason but ingga. can anyone translate what ingga means in English?

Ironically i’m writing this in English.

i admire the Indonesian. they all speak Indonesian regardless of race. flawlessly.

I was watching the Indonesian tv series (there’s a whole chanel of it on astro) and was amazed to find one of the actresses is actually chinese. i couldn’ tell! she speaks flawless Indonesian! and my mum’s maid, (an indonesian) said they even speak indo amongst Chinese themselves. wow… when i think about it, language plays major role in uniting a multiracial country.

touching a sensitive racial issue in our country, i agree that the Chinese far excell the Malays in every part. and they are more deserving to be given opportunities given to Malays. They will do a better job at it. when you see such disgusting social problems amongst the Malays… you can’t help but think “Mungkin Melayu akan hilang di dunia”

In relation to my earlier post Sedeh, it’s not about who owns ‘the house’ but how it is being questioned and how the ‘original’ owner being complacent and the new family being rude. just one of the many possible scenario. ah.. forget it.

point is, this is OUR country, OUR generation. we are born, raised, educated here. we are multiracial, multireligion. We have Bahasa Kebangsaan that can connect us all, that we all share and have in common. Why cant we all be more like the Indonesian? (like me for instance, still write in English! mwahaha… speak for myself!)

Language can connect us more than we could think possible. common language makes other race seems less different. Hearing a non-bumis speaks flawless Bahasa Malaysia makes your heart smile. Thinking of sending them ‘home’? home where? how are they going to communicate at ‘home’? they are ‘home’ here in Malaysia! Their mother tongue is Bahasa for God’s sake! if you get what i mean…

well… in the end it all boils down to our collective ego of our race. we don’t want our race to be wiped off the face of the earth. All these shouting and squibbling and quarelling about touchy issues of race is just a potrayal of how insecure a Malay feels towards his/her own race in their own land of origin. But on a more miniscule level, every individual are more worried about the future welfare of their offspring. We learn by example. and a very concrete, scary example is the living breathing Singapore.

Oh. My. God.

What in the world are they thinking? have they mistaken us for a Europe country or some sort? stark naked demonstration? that is wayy too much. Is sodomy accusations not gross enough for our children to hear and read in the paper and on the news? and now they want to teach our younger generation to go stark naked if they don’t get what they want?

Fine. the rental hike is not fair. but certainly there are millions other effective ways for them to protest!

last thursday some burglars broke into my sister’s house and stole 2 of her 9 (or was it 12? i lost count) it was a green parrot and a white cockatoo.

she was of course devastated by the lost of her beloved pets. not so much of the monetary value. losing pets can be so heartbreaking. she cried all night. and of course, the police are usually useless. another case of wasted tax money.

i remember when i was younger policemen were much feared up to the point even your parents can threaten you if you misbehaved the police will catch you. haha. they’re not just feared, but also respected. Nowadays i would just shrug looking at them. try as they could to look all important, ever since the stupid stoned thief broke into my house, to me they’re just a bunch of makan-gaji-buta losers.

oh, they will excel at giving you parking tickets, road blocks, and speeding summons… but close their eyes at thieves breaking cars, super excellent at making your life miserable when you have to lodge report, making sure everything is inconvenient, and simply let pelumba-haram bet on their races.

some loser jerks even decided to make a career being burglar. because it is too easy. too easy being off the hook. as long as you’re not caught red-handed, you’re a free man. people will steal just anything nowadays. they justify it as a means for a living.

i don’t know what are the politicians up there shouting about. and i don’t give a damn. for as long as the police remain a bunch of wimps, everything else is futile to me. how hard is it to handle small small cases like car and house robbery? some things cannot be replaced with money, like losing your pets. and a peaceful sleep at night.

no. you can’t have those nowadays. your house have to have safety grill, alarm system and that’s not enough, you have to keep guard dogs, and hire watchmen. yeah right. like that will stop them thieves. what else can you do to feel safe? build a secret house underground?

again, i’m so pissed with the nonfunctioning police force. what do they do i wonder? sit around parading with their uniform? pretending its Gerak Khas? what bull$hit!

and those thieves… if i get my hands on them… i will peel off their fingernails one by one before chopping them off!

I feel like giving up. i was wrong when i thought it is going to be easier. it’s not. and i’m near burnt out.

My one year old baby is fast growing into a tot it drives me nuts trying to get things done around the house. much less to say my internet venture. i feel so spent. too tired.

i can’t be it all. i cant be a super perfect clean tidy breastfeeding mom and a cool wife and trying to find some means of living at the same time and make every member of the family happy (like my mom, or pa). i’m spent and i’m near breaking down.

Maine Coon is my favorite breed. I was first awed by the sheer size of these giants. Yes, they are giants of cats, literally!

Their average weight is 4-10kg. Some were even said to weigh up to 20kg! well, I don’t know how true is that.

But often times people were amazed by the size of my pet Maine Coon although relatively in his breed he is kinda small.

If you want to look for lap cats, then these cats are not for you. They are companions, not babies. They’re contented to pursue their own activities… although they still like to follow you around checking out whatever you do.
They love playing with water. You will often find them playing with running tap water or pawing the pool. Some owners report that they even like to swim!

Like the swimming cats Turkish Vans, they still hate being bathed. Cats are, still just cats.

The image of this breed as a shaggy, huge tabbies are so well known that some unscrupulous pet shops claimed any cat fit this description as Maine Coon. Don’t be fooled! These claims are made so they can rob you off with their expensive price tags!

Despite having a face that resembled a tiger, or to put it simply: fierce face, combined with their huge size, they are gentle cats.

They greet their humans with a happy chirping trill, never making other sounds unnecessarily.

That is why this is my favorite breed. They are quiet but active, always up to something. They require little maintenance despite their heavy coat. Although during shedding time you still need to groom them everyday.

Grooming is always an important agenda whenever you’re thinking to keep a long haired cat.
