Look who is more stupid.

It was said that Najib, on behalf of UMNO, issued a public apology over a remark made by Bukit Bendera Umno division head Datuk Ahmad Ismail during the Permatang Pauh parliamentary by-election last month.

Earlier, PM Abdullah came to Ahmad's defence and said, "I don’t think he meant it".

In the run-up to the Permatang Pauh by-election, Ahmad Ismail had said at a ceramah that the Chinese in Malaysia were mere immigrants in the country and thus were not entitled to equal rights.

And the very next moment, MCA was said that it accepted the apology.

What's in today's news? "Ahmad: Why should I apologise?"

The morale of the story... who's the bigger idiot?
I'm sure they all are, just wanted to know who was the biggest!

Losing the plot

The Sin Chew Daily reported the following:

"MCA president Ong Ka Ting is believed to have decided to give up his ministerial position but will remain as party president.

The front-page report, which quoted sources, said Ong would not offer himself as a minister because he wanted to take responsibility for the party's disastrous outing in Saturday's 12th General Election.

Instead, he will propose to the prime minister that his brother and party secretary-general Ong Ka Chuan to take over the Housing his Local Government Ministry."

If you are watching a movie, you'll definitely sees through this plot. Yes, he has a personal agenda. It is very disgusting for him to 'act honorable' but yet promotes nepotism within the party's hierarchy. I think MCA is due to doom.

An urban voter, TM Lee, 28, remarked "Ong has accused DAP’s Lim Kit Siang of being power crazy. But by holding on to MCA presidency now, he is viewed as lacking integrity and credibility himself."

A MCA Penang insider reveals, “When he promised the party a new era in 2003 following his first 100 days as president, we did not know it would be the start of the Ong dynasty,"

More so, when Tun Dr Mahathir has this to say, "As long as you have that kind of arrangement where family takes precedence over cabinet, over the government itself, I think the people would want to go against them."

So please do the right thing and heed from the old man's wisdom. And please, stop acting like you're some angel coz you're not!

Carol Chew, wasted!

A friend of mine attended Carol Chew's ceramah at Taman Desa last night. Approximately 100 people turned up. She began with her ceremah with an apology for targeting her opponent in her campaign by using sexist posters. Read them here and here. And from that moment she lost her 'charm'. Why? Here's the brief:

1) She said the sexist posters was actually criticizing her opponent Teresa Kok for contesting two seats, the Seputeh parliamentary seat and Kinrara state seat. She further said that Teresa will not able to concentrate in serving two consistencies. Well, if I remember correctly, our Prime Minister holds 3 full fledged ministerial positions - PM, Internal Security Minister and Finance Minister for 4+years. Additionally, her own MCA president holds two portfolios too - Housing and Local Gov Minister and Acting Health Minister. Seriously, does she know what she's saying?

2) the locals who turned up for her ceramah, started asking about local issues. She seems lost. One of the questions that she was asked, "Why does the local residents need to employ private security guards to look over the residential area?". Afterall, isn't BN manifesto proudly proclaimed that BN will provide better security. This caught her off guard and she started jotting down the notes (as if lah).

3) Another local asked, "Why does the pondok police closes at 12midnight?" She again has no answer and started jotting down some notes.

4) Another local asked, "Do you know where the pondok police is?". Again she had no answer.

Well, I'll say if Carol really WANT this seat, this Carol better start to learn to know the area/people/issues. Coming unprepared is really going to bring no good. These locals are not idiots and gullible person. I'll bet my last penny, she will be gone within no time. All the monies spent on campaign posters, I'll wonder who's laughing to the bank ;)

* Click here to watch how Chew Mei Fun 'confidently' answered "I thought NEP was ended". None of her answers ended with a confident statement even when the questions are with simple Yes/No answer. Mostly, "I I I I", "We We We", "Er Er Er", "I can't remember" or "I thought so". Just simply put it, she has no principles or conviction to her statement given.

Missteps of Chew Mei Fun

These are what she said recently:

(1) “If there is insufficient Chinese representation in the Barisan Nasional, it is not a good thing. The Chinese community cannot afford another May 13 incident.” Read more here and here.

(2) "I thought the NEP has already ended." Read more here.

Even going head-to-head Q&A with Tony Pua, you can see how short and evasive (sometimes dumbfounded) Chew's answers are. Maybe it's time to goreng her. You know, chow-mai-fun.

Only 40 turned out?

TheSun newspaper reported there were about 60 people attended a ceramah by BN MCA's incumbent Wangsa Maju parliamentary candidate Yew Teong Look. It also reported that 20 of the 60 people were from Umno's Gerak Gempur (aka Mat Rempits?).

When I first saw the news, I couldn't help to notice that there were only 40 people turned up. His colleague did slightly better. PJ Utara parliamentary candidate from MCA, Chew Mei Fun had around 50 people turned up on her ceramah in SS2 recently. DAP Tony Pua, however, drew around 200 people (3-4 times) in his ceramah held just 50 meters where Chew had hers.

I don't know if this is a case of being his skin thicker than an elephant's sole. Yew highlighted that some of the development that he brought to Wangsa Maju for the last four years. One of his highlights was, and i quote from the newspaper "With the help from the Federal Territories Ministry and City Hall, two CCTVs have been installed in Wangsa Maju .This has somewhat reduced the crime rate in that area." Kinda laughable isn't it? All these four years and he is bragging about installing 2 CCTVs!!! What more, he gives out a perception that there were reduced crime rate! If you read further on the article, a lot of it has "will do this and do that" sort of a report card. That is not what he did for last four years. He did almost nothing! MCA reported (in their own words) they are going to build a soon-to-be-constructed Chinese school in Wangsa Maju as announced by the Education Ministry in January 2008. Again, what took it so long? The school will not be in operation for about 2-3 years?

According to Sentul OCPD ACP K. Kumaran, he said in October 2007 in referring to Wangsa Maju crime index, "There was approximately 15% increase in crime index in the first nine months of this year compared to the corresponding period last year." But Yew said there was somewhat reduced crime. Yeah, do you believe what he said? Just google "Crime Rate Index Wangsa Maju" and you'll find that there are some killers out there that are yet to be caught by the law. This Yew guys is just beating around the bush.

Take a look what this guy has to say about Yew. http://hygen.net/blog/?p=135

Batteries Recycling & Disposal

I have been saving some unused batteries alkaline/NiMH/NiCd/Li-ion/PB for recycling but couldn't find a place (that is, except for a dustbin) to dispose them. The problem is these batteries contains mercury and it is toxic, more so if it gets to ec0system. These batteries should be properly disposed of so that mercury does not get in to anyone's food chain. Mercury poisoning may lead to death.

Ever wondered where to dispose these batteries for recycling? All I could find was just paper/glass/plastic types of bins. Sometimes I feel like slapping that dude at working as a Minister at Housing and Local Government for his lacking leadership.

Anyone? No, I am not asking you to slap him but if you want to, please by all means. I am asking if you know where to dispose these batteries. Really felt like wanna kitar semula this minister. At least he is still of some use if you know what I mean.
