Received a text message just now from The Godfather.. err.. I mean my godfather. It reads:
“Pls pray for the Korean christians in Afghanistan who were doing volunteer work in the hospital. They will start to kill 9 of them at 1030 tonight. Pls pray for them n msg to as many ppl to pray so that God would strengthen them and turn the situation around. Pass the prayer chain.”
KUALA LUMPUR: Bloggers should exercise self-censorship over sensitive issues and not sensationalise issues just for the sake of gaining readers, Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow said.
He said bloggers should be careful not to cause offence to any particular group or cause disharmony.
“Those who are irresponsible will have to face the consequences,” he said at the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia’s national flag-hoisting ceremony here yesterday.
He said the Government did not wish to restrict freedom on the Internet. “But this does not mean that there is no limit. Bloggers who are irresponsible will have to face the consequences.”
On the coming Merdeka celebrations, he urged Malaysians to show their patriotism by flying the Malaysian flag.
“The gesture of displaying the flags is a show of love for the country,” Fu said.

Last week we heard of the trashing (5-1) of Malaysian team by China in AFC Asian Cup football tournament. Then a few days later we read in newspaper that China had singed a deal in giving us a loan of RM2 point something billion for the second the construction of second Penang Bridge. They stated it is the first time China is giving loan of that amount to other country. Do you think its a mere coincidence or is it really that Malaysian football team really really sucks? Everyone been talking about it… booing the national team on air etc….
Maybe there’s something we don’t know. But then, they (our national team) were trashed by Uzbeks too. Ayoyo.. sometimes, they can’t blame us for not supporting our local football scene. That community service on Hitz.fm is just a waste of airtime. You can be supporting a lousy team but not as lousy as this.
Bocor Lagi
by Keris Silau - Malaysia Today
Bocor teruk kata Samy
Wiring lama kata Ramli
Bangunan tua kata Nazri
Najib said it’s PWD
Semua ada alasan sendiri
But where you all spent the money?
RM90 juta untuk cantikkan lobby
So that it looks luxury
Nice décor and nice settee
But now you kena letak baldi
Bocor teruk when it rains heavily
MP yang busuk pun boleh mandi
The floor is wet and slippery
The luxury lobby now looks untidy
Inilah dia third class mentality
Luar cantik tapi dalam very shoddy
Structure work should get priority
And now whose responsibility
JKR or Parliament Committee
While you all gaduh sama sendiri
Rakyat want an answer immediately
Otherwise kita tak bagi you undi
Sebab you spent money unnecessarily
You know it is taxpayers’ money
So please spend the money wisely.
The recent flood in KL warn us of the global climate change. Please… do something to save the world. Please…. save us from having a lot of work. So much flood cases. My bosses are smiling.
Save the world !! Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race.
Lets sing the Earth Song.

We read in paper today that Lina Joy just lost the appeal… but she has not lose her faith… Christianity that is. She took the NRD to court after they refused the 3rd time to delete the word “Islam” from her identity card.
Sometime we wonder… why are all this people like triads…. once you’re in it, there’s no chance of getting out. Why only this particular religion in this country is like this…. barring people from denouncing it.
I just dont understand why is it like that. People from other religion never face such problem to convert to other non-muslim religion. Just some questions to ponder as an ordinary joe:
a. If everyone is free… even Muslims are free to denouce the religion like other religions, a lot of Muslim people will denounce hence the number of muslims in the country lesser?! They’re afraid the numbers of muslims getting lesser? Is this the whole idea since the birth of the constitution?
b. Why must all these idiots inconvenience people from getting a word deleted? Just a fucking word from the fucking IC .
c. This is the only country I guess that idiots will go around during the fasting month and see if Muslims are fasting.You cant force people to fast, right? If you fast, it shows how deep is your faith…. they make some muslims friend of mine to be so inconvenienced that they had to eat in store rooms, underneath the table… just like dog.
d. Is it possible for me to sue the fella who ask me to show prove that I’m not a fucking muslim when I eat at a mamak during fasting month? Do i need to wear my crucifix hanging on my forehead? I kena once.
e. Then there were cases where all this idiotic clowns fighting for a deadman’s corpse whom they dont really even know. They are not his family member nor friends. Why they waste so much time for a corpse of a man they barely know? Just let her wife do the thing lah.
Malaysians are so like that.
Blogging is in the state of 911 right now in Malaysia. Bloggers are being sued for all kinds of lame reasons. Lets join the cause to support the fight for freedom of expression and speech.
Shit that you must read:
Those NST people just dont understand that bullshit matters.

Insurer boycott by mechanics (15 Jan 2007)
By AUDREY EDWARDS and LOW BOON TAT
SEREMBAN: Mechanics who are members of the Federation of Automobile Workshop Association of Malaysia (FAWOAM) are boycotting a insurance firm for “unfair treatmentâ€, its president Cho Chee Seng said.

Cho: Says move would affect 100 vehicles daily
|
He said a major complaint was that the insurer continued to give “lump sum repair offers†which meant that items like parts or labour data were not itemised.
“Members feel unfairly treated by the insurer. We end up doing jobs that are sometimes insufficient or difficult to cover. And the consumer ends up feeling that we have cheated them,†he added.
“Cost shifting occurs during the process of preparing an estimate or final bill for repairs. This may involve adding unnecessary procedures or exaggerating labour time or costs in one area to offset costs not included elsewhere in the damage appraisal or final bill.
“It can be perceived as fraud by consumers or regulators, even if the final payment by the insurer is deemed reasonable by the workshop.â€
Cho said that members would continue to service existing cases at their workshops. However, for new cases where vehicles were towed to the workshop, a vehicle owner would be given 48 hours to remove their vehicle if it was insured by the said company. They would also have to pay the towing charges.
He said that if the consumers wanted their members to repair the vehicles, transaction would have to be in cash and they would be able to submit a claim to the insurer for reimbursement.
He said that the move would affect about 100 vehicles daily.
There are 1,200 FAWOAM members who are involved in repairs of vehicles involved in collisions.
The federation’s total membership is about 3,200.
Members also complained that the insurer had insisted that all third-party motor claims must go through its panel workshop system while the consumer was not required to use such a facility.
——————————————————————————————-
Foooh… at last these people have the balls to strike. A check with a local Klang Valley workshop guy, I was told that they are boycotting one particular insurance company in Malaysia. The biggest motor insurer. Yeah…. thats K Insurans Bhd.
I’ve been listening to almost every workshop operator dissing this insurance company since the day I join this industry 4-5 years ago. Same shit everytime. Now they (the frogs) have came out from coconut shell and they’re doing something for themselves, for their business, for the economy, for the livelyhood of everyone.. at least in the automotive industry.
I wish them luck. STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!
