Bugger Edison Chen is still dominating online and offline entertainment news and people are overreacting to his case. Come on lah there are better things to focus on, such as our social issues and Malaysian Election 2008.
Focusing on some dumbobrities (don’t copy hor, I
coined this term Jan 30, 08) won’t change the current state of Malaysia right now. Most people of my age (or younger) do not bother about elections and politics. Below are the two most frequent replies from such ignorant people, which are a cliche and a bore to me already.
- “I’m not interested in politics lah.”
- “Don’t need to vote lar. The country is already so peaceful, we don’t have earthquakes, we have food to eat, we have pirated VCD’s to watch, we have Petronas Twin Tower to show off, we have the longest roti tisu… So why go and change things?”
In response to the first reply: maybe you need to get robbed to be able to understand why politics mean a lot to you as a citizen.
As for the second one, remember that voting does not mean existing governmental policies will be drastically overridden by new ones and that harmony will erode. Similarly, opposition parties to obtain more seats does not mean they will become the ruling party.
At least not at this stage where Malaysians still generally do not have very high media literacy to to counter back any government claims.
In fact it will be even more beneficial for citizens if opposition parties could obtain a greater parliamentary and state assembly seats because this will enable check and balance between the ruling and opposition parties. So why would it be a thing to worry about when it actually increases social and economic benefits!
A country with no alternative power will most likely result in a single party trying to do things in favour of their own agenda. So if you have an indifferent attitude towards politics, maybe you will need to read and see more because it WILL affect your future in every single way.

One day after my roommate’s friend was victimized in a
robbery incident, yet another person got robbed a few hours ago, right opposite me and my friend as we were walking along Jalan Bukit 11/2 of PJ, near Universiti Tower.
And this is a daylight robbery!
A woman waiting for a cab was robbed off her necklace by two men on a motorbike and pushed into the drain. We only came to consciousness that something had gone wrong after hearing a painful scream coming from the drain. We helped her up just to realize she was suffering leg injuries.
Please note that the incidents I’ve posted in my blog are NOT fictional. What is wrong with a country that used to be safe? This is insane and something needs to be done!
Just change Malaysia, damnit! Change some of our damn policies for once! Change the way our police perform their duties!

I slept at 3.30am yesterday morn and woke up like a dracula several hours later.
FUCK ASSIGNMENTS.
I don’t like to swear or rant a lot in a public platform — but when stress is taking its toll on me I will start to sound as bimbotic as Xiaxue.
And certain lecturers/tutors cannot understand us by saying we are using “being busy” as an excuse not to do revision. Something is obviously wrong with our
current education system.
To give you an analogy, we are asked to shove 20 apples down our throat in a day because authorities say apples make us healthy. Ridiculous or not?

My roommate’s friend got robbed at about 2am last night along Jalan Universiti on the way back from KFC. It is ironic how a robbery could take place even along the main road.
Four young men on two motorbikes followed my roomate and his friend from behind at an unusually slow speed, one of them armed with a parang. My roommate, who was carrying a laptop was alert enough to run upon seeing the suspicious men approaching but his friend was slow and stopped by the four men behind.
He got robbed off his wallet and handphone.
I heard similar cases have also happened in Section 17 where the motorbike passenger was seen carrying a parang. This means that these robbers no longer target females as their victims, but also males.
I don’t think bringing a pepper spray or an umbrella would work anymore unless you carry a parang around as well to protect yourself. We are living in fear.
I would think the best thing to do if a robbery happens to you *knocking on wood* is to give what they want from you. Despite the probability of it being fake, try to take down the plate number because you never know it could aid the authorities in hunting down these chimpanzees.
THIS is the real state Malaysia is trapped in right now. 50 years of independence with social issues on the rise. Election is coming March 8, who are you voting for?
