Hey Folks,
Glad to be back after a long hiatus or break.
The Malaysian General Election - 13th
Finally the election is done, yes! Life is back to how it was..... The Malaysians have made up their minds and Barisan Nasional (BN) still forms the majority in the Parliament, but not the 2/3 majority they have aimed for.
As for Pakatan Rakyat (PR) they have somehow managed to gain about 89 seats, but have yet to reach their so-called goal to form the so-called next government.
PM Najib will have a lot of things to do and of course to gain back the confidence of fellow Malaysians that BN will now have to decide to win the hearts and minds or just bulldoze and hope for 'divine intervention' which is definitely out of the question.
As for the Anwar Ibrahim, the man of PR and soon to be Opposition Leader (again), will now be pitching the country to prove that BN is not the people's choice (based on the 'popular number of votes).
The Malaysian GE-13 is definitely not like the US Presidential Election where popular votes and the 'electoral votes' will determine the next US President.
Anyway enough said, boring to talk about this, but one thing for sure be on the look out for up and coming possible future PM candidate for Malaysia in the future. We are talking about Mukhriz Mahathir the son of the Former PM Tun Mahathir. He is now getting involved with the state administration of Kedah and if he proves successful, who knows he could be the 'potential' champion that can take BN back to its once pride and envy place!
As for Anwar and the PR Gang, well they are busy embarking on the 'election is rigged' tour, surprisingly still not exhausted yet......hoping for some 'people power' or some sort, but again this is Malaysia so it may not worked just like in the Philippines.
Well, let us just enjoy the movies and give our reviews later...of the ever changing, exciting Malaysian politics!
Cheerios!

Hari Raya and Ustaz Don
Hey Folks,
Glad to be back to the world of blogging!
First of all my sincere and heartfelt Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri and Eid Mubarak to all Muslims. Yes it was definitely a joyous occasion everybody beside the food.
It was nice to catch up with relatives and friends and of course Hari Raya is celebrated a month long so be prepared for open houses and gaining of pounds....!
On another note, it was sweet surprise to learn that Ustaz Don has finally 'walked down the aisle'... Congratulations to the newled wed couple! May Allah blessed them both. Now that he is officially declared a 'husband', that is surely a new step is his episode of life. Whatever it is Ustaz Don has remarkably open up interest or renewed interest in Islam for Muslims (like me) and possibly some non-Muslims as well.
Anyway, this time around I will do my level best to contribute as much to this blogsite since it has been a hectic months......

Fasting Month...Ramadan in August
Hey Folks,
I am back again after a month and a half hiatus.......
Anyway, it is the 2nd day of August, so far so good.
With the fasting month of Ramadan, so far it has progressing smoothly.
Fasting month or Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic Calendar.
Normally this is where a Muslim will not just fast but also seek more closer or solace with God.
Unofficially, we have like 16 days until Eid Mubarak (AidilFitri), then like they say back to square one.
What is hot after the Ramadan, yes anyone's guess....the possibility of the 13th General Election......
Okidoke, time to ciao!

General Election in September!!??
Hey Folks,
Back to the world of blogging.
Yes, I have to admit...it was a hell buzy period for me especially coupla of weeks ago.
Anyway, still getting every citizens and netizens of this beloved country wonder when could be the next General Election.
Of course only PM Najib knows the date or his preference. All eyes and ears are awaiting for that big annoouncement.
Some say, it could be right after Hari Raya Aidilfitri....which is somewhere in September...... Speculation and guestimates is also pointing to September...
For sure the 13th General Election will become not just memorable, but sure full of excitement, drama, and not to mention possible (hopefully not) violence. We just hope that it will be a peacefule general election so that all the Malaysian that have registered to vote, can vote with a peace of mind.
If you have yet to register as a voter, do it NOW.

100th Show of 30 Minit Ustaz Don on TV Alhijrah!
Hey folks,
back to the world of blogging....
Yes, this coming 1st of May 2012 will not just be a public holiday thanks to 'Labour Day', but if you are strong fan or follower (just like me) of the hottest TV shows on TV Alhijrah called '30 Minit Ustaz Don', it will be the 100th show. It will be an hour show on that evening cause it is like 'special edition'.
Congratulations to Ustaz Don and his team, no doubt it is an early greeting of congratulatory, but this show is awesome!
Thanks to his show, after so many, many years, that I have finally managed to correct my 'solat' (prayer) and also reading the correct and proper pronounciation (Tajwid) of the Al-Quran.
If you are new or still curious to know what this show is all about, don't worry, go with an open mind and heart and check this cool show out. You will enjoy it.
What makes Ustaz Don different in comparison to the other Muslim scholars or Ustaz is simple; his 'down-to-earth' and interactive style of reaching to his television audience.
Otherwise as regular follower of this show, yes, it is from Monday to Thursday at 9:30 p.m. on TV Alhijrah.
Happy Viewing!

Animal Cruelty: 'Hit n Run'
Hey folks,
Something finally has struck me and thought of expressing it all out.
Nowadays u hear about the importance and reminder of road safety and being a good driver on the road and blah blah blah..
Okay, Malaysia has one of the best roads and not to mention highway system in the region or perhaps the world so that sort of motivate the driver to drive the best or the fastest.
What is sad is this, there have been a lot of dead animals or carcasses laying at the side, in the middle, or any part of road which is just simply visibile to the driver's windscreen.
Imagine you are driving on the road and it is a beautiful day and suddenly u just noticed a gruesome murder (in this case a possible accident) of a 'hit and run' victim which is normally in Malaysia can be a dead dog, cat, monkey (macaque), monitor lizard, wild boar, snakes, etc. It is sad, 90% from my observation is dogs here in Malaysia.
It is sad, u just wonder why on Earth are the driver doing this or is it that the animal just happen to be 'at the wrong place at the wrong time'. Did the driver purposely want to kill these poor creatures? Or the driver tried to avoid, but couldn't... A lot of possibilities and assumptions.
Well whatever it is fellow Malaysians or any fellow humans out there, if you are driving on the road, please practice caution and care because you can never know a dog or a cat or a monkey or any animal is just trying to cross the road to get to the other side. The animal deserves to live and not be another hopeless victim of 'hit and run'.

Register as a VOTER.....Malaysia General Election can be this year or next year...
Hey folks,
Back to the world of blogging....yes April is here....it is the 5th day of April and imagine with all the hoo haa about election after Chinese Year or in March.......yup it is still not in sight...
Again, it is the prerogative and pleasure of PM Najib to make the call. He will surely know when is the election going to be.
Lately, the Parlimentary Select Committee (PSC) has came out with 22 recommendations for the Election Commission (EC) to improve and target in order for the reform of the election process to take place.
In my opinion, it is a positive move and way forward for Malaysia to go greater heights especially in tackling and resolving the so-called controversial and everybody's or politicians favorite punching bag that is reforming of the EC and electoral process.
No doubt every citizens from the 'great political divide' can say so much about the electoral system of this beloved country, but again it the citizen 'voting' power' which will be the final determination which party will be in-charge of the country.
If you have yet to register to become a registered voter, better do it NOW than never. Just imagine even 1 small vote by you will make or trigger an impact to the country. Always remember that when election is coming near, the politicians (be it government or opposition) will be 'beggars' and crying for your votes. Of course with the begging will come with so many promises of change and betterment and blah blah blah.... Surely we will always go through with this cycle and it is not our Malaysia alone, but worldwide. I mean just watch the US Republican Primary and as usual the candidates are rambling on and on about what they can do for the future of America.
As expected, Bersih is not happy about the overall outcome of the PSC recommendations on the reforms and planning to stage 'BERSIH 3.0', but this time around a 'sit-in' protest.
Personally, it is good that the citizens to express one's displeasure over anything, but is it really necessary to have another demo? I think with the inflation and instability of the global economy, let us just take a break from any demonstration for now. Feeling angry yes go ahead, but do that when the General Election is happening soon (whenever that will be) and vote against the current government in power (Barisan Nasional). That is the purpose of election anyway, it is a change of power in the most peaceful and organized fashion that mankind can endure!
Again, who am I to advise, I am just a 'Malaysian Dude' trying to survive in this crazy and extraordinary jungle!
Cheerios!
