i thought the number was 300, but on second read it was 30. 30 supporters gathered to ask badawi not to step down and it made news on thestar.
"About 30 Umno supporters gathered outside the Prime Minister’s official residence here on Wednesday, urging Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi to remain in office."
(http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/10/8/nation/20081008120342&sec=nation)
this is funny. and to think that these people gathered after a text message circulated asking people to gather to show support for badawi on tuesday is even funnier.
"A text message had been circulating on Tuesday asking supporters to gather at Seri Perdana to “provide moral support” for Abdullah."
what, the news spread wide and still only 30 managed to turn up? how pathetic is that? i'm sure a triple of this number would turn up for ANY opposition rally/gathering.
it clearly shows that badawi has lost support contrary to what he would want to believe.
get out mister! get out now!

rpk to kamunting
rpk has been sent to camp kamunting for two years starting yesterday.
the stay period can be extended indefinitely.
syed hamid albar keeps saying that rpk's a threat to national security. i ask you syed hamid, where is your proof?
it's disappointing to see the government always taking the easy way out when it comes to dealing with people who go against the grain.
when is this going to stop? will we ever see the light?
the hope that i had is slowly but surely fading away. anwar after all the talk, is still not yet to deliver.
how sad! :(

aunty at restaurant
we were at a chinese restaurant last saturday. we ordered fish head curry, japanese tofu and soup. the portions were big and halfway through, i was done.
a middle aged lady came to our table asking for food. since the food would be wasted otherwise, we decided to pack it and give to the lady.but the lady insisted on having the food with us as she said she has no home, so how to eat at home.
while the food was getting packed, the lady saw a bowl of soup by my side. she asked if the soup was mine. i said yes. she took and drank it.
the packed food arrived. the lady was not pleased. she grabbed it from the helper and went away without a word of thanks.
not that we did it to get her gratitude, but a simple thanks would've been nice.
i guess, she was just angry and hungry and feels she doesn't owe the world a thing.

the search begins..
i went to cc yesterday. have updated my resume. am now looking for jobs in singapore/jb. there's a better possibility of getting a job in singapore than jb i guess.
it'll be so tiring to travel to/fro singapore everyday. and if ck's not around, it'll be extra tiring. it'll require me to be extra independent. let's see how things go.
given a choice, i wouldn't want to work in singapore, being a foreigner, looked down by singaporeans. it's not very nice, is it?

it is not...
it is not going to happen today. after all the talking, anwar is saying that he has enough majority to form the government but not yet as he's waiting to meet badawi to ensure a smooth transition of power without mishaps.
hmmm....i think anwar is losing credibility by the hour by not even showing the defectors list as of 5.30 pm today.
how sad! :(

the moment of truth
the opposition is claiming that it has enough majority to form a new government. i'm still waiting for the moment of truth.
so much could have been avoided if only badawi and najib agreed to step down earlier. they should have realized that it's not so much about rakyat supporting the oppositin as to their hate for the corrupted ruling party which has endlessly played the racial card.
the moment is here, anwar please walk the talk as your credibility is on question here.

uncle sam...juz shut the fuck up!
part1:
-------
(source: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/3/31/nation/20798573&sec=nation)
first there was news of uncle sam asking the government to release the hindraf leaders.
"KUALA LUMPUR: MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has urged the Government to release the five Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders detained under the ISA."
he claimed that it's no publicity stunt. he's doing it for the sake of indians.
“This is done in fairness, sympathy and, also, we feel that as Indians, we have to do something about it. It is not a publicity stunt,” he said.
he says wives of 2 ISA detainees met him for help.
"Samy Vellu said the wives of Kenghadaran and Manoharan approached MIC for help to get their husbands released."
and uncle sam says two of the detainees have not been REALLY involved in the rally.
"He said another two, V. Ganabatirau, 34, and K. Vasantha Kumar, 34, had not been that involved in the Hindraf rally in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 25 last year."
uncle sam, how do you say that a person is not really involved? it's either he IS or NOT. no middle ground about it.
“I had already made some moves on this earlier but I did not tell anyone. I will now make a firm move to see what can be done by the Government with regard to their plight,” said Samy Vellu.
no comment about the above. obviously it's just a joke. a lame one! he didn't say anything last year when it would've mattered. he was keeping his mouth shut. now that he lost in the election, he thinks he can say anything.
part2:
-------
(http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/4/1/nation/20807346&sec=nation)
isa detainee M. Manoharan’s wife S. Pushpaneelais denies seeking uncle sam's help.
“I didn’t go and see Samy Vellu,” she said.
the other detainee, R. Kenghadaran’s wife Dr M. Kalaivani says that she only went to him when her husband was first detained and not recently.
“It must have been two or three weeks after their detention, and we went to see Samy Vellu in his capacity as the leader of the Indian community,” she said.
-------
so uncle sam, what are you trying to do? when will you realize that it's just too late? you could have spoken earlier when the people were first detained. u didn't do anything then because you were afraid your ass will be on fire.
right now, you are doing this to seek publicity. yes, we know this is just a gimmick. we know that you are ready to say anything to gain people's trust. we know you are doing this because you've lost the support of the people.
please realize that people no longer want you. please please stop embarrassing yourself. do yourself a favour n shut the fuck up.!
